Superbug Superheroes Art Contest
The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) is hosting a children's art contest on antibiotic resistance called the "Superbug Superheroes Art Contest", to raise awareness about health concerns over growing antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance happens when the drugs (antibiotics) we use to kill germs (bacteria) that cause illness, lose their effectiveness because of overuse and misuse of the medications. This contest is open to New York State students only.
Letter and information for schools and teachers (PDF)
Contest Entry Information (PDF)
NYS STop Antibiotic Resistance Roadmap
NYS STop Antibiotic Resistance Roadmap (STARR) (PDF)
What is antibiotic resistance?
Antibiotic resistance occurs when antibiotics (medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria) don't work anymore. Antibiotics can be life-saving, but bacteria are becoming more resistant. If we're not careful about how we prescribe and use the antibiotics we've relied on for years, they might not work for us in the future.
What is antimicrobial resistance?
Antibiotic resistance is part of a broader threat called antimicrobial resistance成人香蕉视频app, which is resistance to medicine used to treat all types of infections, including bacteria, parasites and fungi, for example.
Why is it happening?
Antibiotic resistance happens when antibiotics are inappropriately prescribed (for example, for viral infections, where they are not effective), or when inappropriately used (for example, using antibiotics without a healthcare provider's guidance). It can also result from inappropriate use of antibiotics in animals. Antibiotic resistant bacteria can then spread and become more common in the community.
Bacteria are only one type of germ that causes infections. Infections are also caused by viruses. Since antibiotics don't work against infections caused by viruses, using antibiotics for these infections, such as the common cold, the flu, bronchitis, most coughs, and most sore throats, can lead to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics kill the healthy bacteria in the gut, allowing more harmful bacteria, such as C.difficile成人香蕉视频app, to grow in its place. Taking antibiotics increases your risk of getting an antibiotic-resistant infection later.
Why should we care?
When bacteria become resistant, medicines may no longer work and infections can become difficult or impossible to treat. Antibiotic resistant germs can spread from one person to another leading to more antibiotic resistant infections.
How bad is the problem?
成人香蕉视频appThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year in the United States, at least 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of these infections. We are approaching a time when once easily-treated infections are no longer easy to treat or may be untreatable because of antibiotic resistance. As Dr. Thomas Frieden, head of the CDC, puts it, "The medicine cabinet is empty for some patients. It is the end of the road for antibiotics unless we act urgently."
Can animals spread antibiotic resistance?
Antibiotic use in animals and agriculture can lead to antibiotic resistance in bacteria thatcan spread to humans and other animals through direct contact or contaminated food. Therefore, appropriate use of antibiotics is an important part of veterinary practice to protect animal and human health. Safe food handling, storage, and preparation is something everyone should practice to prevent illness.
What can you do about this health threat?
Remember, antibiotics don't work for viral infections like the common cold, most coughs, and most sore throats. Taking antibiotics when they don't work can do more harm than good by causing stomach upset, diarrhea, or allergic reactions.
Do not pressure your healthcare provider to prescribe antibiotics if they diagnose you with a viral infection.
If your provider does prescribe antibiotics, make sure you take the entire course of medicine, even if you start to feel better. Do not stop unless your provider tells you it's OK to stop.
Do not share antibiotics prescribed for you with another person.
Don't save old doses of antibiotics for another time when you have an infection. Extra doses should be discarded as soon as you stop taking the medicine. The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation has .
What is the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) doing about this health threat? A few examples of key programs to address antibiotic resistance in NYS include:
The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) has launched the NYS Antimicrobial Resistance Prevention and Control Task Force, which is a partnership of federal, state and local agencies. The mission of the NYS Antimicrobial Resistance Task Force is to develop new initiatives, create partnerships, and enhance collaboration to reduce the burden of illness due to antimicrobial resistance in NYS and improve the health and wellbeing of all New Yorkers. The task force will develop and implement a statewide strategic approach and a report of recommendations to combat antimicrobial resistance in New York. The work of the Task Force will shape New York's future response to this growing health threat.
is one of only seven CDC-designated Antimicrobial Resistance (AR) Regional Laboratories in the US. These strategically placed laboratories will have special capacity to rapidly detect and identify emerging antibiotic threats.
NYSDOH is a state partner in the to educate healthcare providers and patients about antibiotic resistance and appropriate antibiotic use.

Wayne and Pat d'Easum
My husband Wayne dEasum and I Pat (Mills) d'Easum we're trained (Soccer, Track and Field) by your Dad at NorKam (North Kamloops) High School in the early 1960's. He was Wayne's soccer and P.E. Teacher and he taught me the Hurdles, after which I never lost a race. He was one of our favourites and back in 2002-3?we visited your Dad and Mother at Half Moon Bay. We weren't sure he would remember us and unknown to us he had just returned from hip surgery .. but he was so kind with his praise as he invited us in for a visit. It was wonderful to see him so full of life. We only knew where he was after our 2000 reunion and made a point to visit first chance we had. I found your Father's Obit while surfing the Net and we were very sorry to hear of his passing and the difficult time he must have had prior to his death. Although our wishes are late, we send our deepest condolences to you and your family. Wayne and Pat
Thanks, Wayne and Pat. I'll contact you via email.

.Enjoy a wonderful Kihei Kai Nani condo. This first-floor, air-conditioned condo is located only a minute from the famous Kamaole 2 Beach. The condo has all the amenities, not the least of which is air conditioning to keep you comfortable during your stay. The washer and dryer save guests the inconvenience and expense of using the coin-operated machines by the office. A strong WiFi signal serves the entire unit, and there are two new flat screen TVs offering full cable service in both living room and bedroom! The new owners are in the process of upgrading appliances as needed. For your use they have just installed a new fridge (November 2017).
This one-bedroom condo feels much larger than many Kihei Kai Nani units, which do not enjoy a front lawn like this one does. As you relax on the lanai on comfortable and handsome teak furniture, the front lawn stretches beyond the patio, providing green comfort and space that is exceptional among the complex's one-bedroom units.
We look forward to hosting you during your stay on Maui!

« Oh, My: A New Species of Spider Constructs Decoy Spiders Out of Webs, Detritus, and Dessecated Corpses of Old Kills | Main | Tim Geithner Threatened S&P with "Accountability" After The Firm Downgraded America's Credit Rating »
Wendy Davis: These Despicable, Sexist Allegations That I Am a Gigantic Liar Constitute a New War on Women on My Womanhood and Also on My Gigantic Lies
Wendy Davis penned an "open letter" which sought to rebut the disclosures about her fabricated personal narrative by employing the crafty technique of not rebutting them at all.
As our campaign has gained momentum, our opponents have gotten more and more desperate. But now they've stooped to a new low by attacking my family, my education, and my personal story – playing politics with the journey that has been my life.
Mine is a story about a teenage single mother who struggled to keep her young family afloat. It's a story about a young woman who was given a precious opportunity to work her way up in the world. It's a story about resiliency, and sacrifice, and perseverance.
And you're damn right it's a true story.
Actually, no, it's a false story, or at least specific details are false, which even one Wendy Davis acknowledged.
This is the most insidious War on Women I've seen yet: They have poor Wendy Davis attacking herself.
You know, I wanted to goof on this -- Davis goes on say this isn't about her "story," which is, you know, false, but about your stories, which hopefully are less false -- but MKH does so much of that that I really would just be copying her if I did the same.
This reminds me of Elizabeth Warren's defense of her own Gigantic Lies. Basically, she just retreats into a position that this is "My Story," and this is a personal thing, and this is a Woman Thing, and you wouldn't understand, so you just have to accept My Story even though it is all one big Gigantic Lie.
See, if it's your "story," you can claim whatever you like. Women, it seems -- and this does appear where we are as far as 21st Century Feminism is concerned -- have a special license to just make things up and not be called out on Gigantic Lies because Shut Up You H8r.
From Elizabeth Warren to Sandra Fluke to Wendy Davis to Hillary Clinton, there is this idea that it's perfectly reasonable to create a... "Composite Narrative" of your own life which includes, um, false details taken from Other Women's Personal Stories.
Usually our androcentric Male Gaze culture has called that kind of thing a "lie." As when Joe Biden claimed to have lived the poor-boy life of British politician Neil Kinnock.
But when these radical feminists due it, the claim is made that they're really "honoring" these other "stories" by weaving them into the rich tapestry of their own narrative.
Or something. I have no idea. All I know is basically progressive women are just entitled to lie about their lives. And Serious You Guys, War on Women.

Symposium | Election 2020: What Comes Next
A Culture for American Democracy
By Melody Barnes
from Winter, No. 59 – 7 MIN READ
Tagged CommunityDemocracyequalitypoliticsRacismvoting
Two days before the election, a Trump car caravan collided with Biden supporters and social justice advocates in front of the now graffiti-covered statue of Robert E. Lee in Richmond, Virginia. Protesters have stationed themselves around the statue since the murder of George Floyd. A pro-Trump candidate for Richmond's city council organized the convoy, according to local media. Trump flags became targets, a demonstrator said he barely avoided being hit by a car, insults were exchanged, and gun shots were reported. The raw emotion of American politics and culture were in full view, requiring us to ask: Do we have enough in common to build a multicultural democracy?
On November 3, we elected a new President, and we also got a snapshot of the American body politic and our culture. Under 6 million votes separate the winner from the loser, and citizens of the same country seem to live on different planets.
While unimaginable to many Americans, more than 73 million voters support a President who champions an immigration policy that ruthlessly separated children from their parents. It would be easier for me to retrieve my jacket at a Trump hotel coat check than it will be for 600 or so children to be reunited with their mothers or fathers; that is, easier for me to fetch a mundane item than for children to find their parents. And since March, COVID-19 has crisscrossed the United States leaving nearly a quarter million Americans dead and more than 10 million infected. But instead of drawing us closer as we fight a common enemy, COVID-19 has revealed the depths of the divide in American culture. The virus is a hoax or the virus is life threatening. Masks are evidence of concern for others or a sign of weakness and a threat to liberty. And when the White House itself became a hotspot, the band played on as the President's supporters cheered at packed, Hatch-Act violating campaign rallies.
Is it possible for the majority of Americans to cross the chasm that separates us, and what would it take to do so?
In business it's often said that "culture eats strategy for breakfast." Similarly, culture sets the table for our politics, and has a symbiotic relationship with democracy's norms and institutions. Culture shapes our actions, habits, character, and destiny. It determines how we make decisions and respond to challenges. It becomes a powerful belief system embedded in daily life and it even fuels our democracy.
American culture will never animate a universal kumbaya moment, nor is that democracy's aim. Democracy allows us to do the hard work of organizing citizens with different backgrounds, opinions, and goals, anticipating that unrestrained self-interest will be tempered by the benefits of a society of institutions, the rule of law, as well as tolerance and pluralism. Yet history tells us that our Constitution and laws—even as they have expanded freedom and become more democratic—are not enough. Our foundational document and laws are only as good as our culture, and culture requires community. Community isn't just about geography, but a commitment to the common good and to achieving our democratic aspirations and, when we've failed to live up to them, to redress inequities.
Although national anger is real and palpable, so is commitment to community. James and Deborah Fallows have traveled the United States and written compellingly about the tension between the deep-seated concern many have about the country even as they remain hopeful about their hometowns. Many of the young adults I work with—members of Opportunity Youth United and the Aspen Institute Opportunity Youth Forum—live in large cities, small rural towns, and tribal communities, and yet they share a similar point of view.
A significant hurdle to building community today is resistance to constructing a comprehensive and honest story of our past. All societies create myths, and some, like George Washington and the cherry tree, are harmless. But in the words of James Baldwin, we've failed "to excavate [our] history from the rubble of romance." A prime example: the penetrating and despicable myth of the Lost Cause spun out of the South after the Civil War. It leveraged the existing myth of white supremacy, shaping national character, as well as policies and norms that have contributed to our cultural divide and systemic inequity. In that instance, and others, as long as we treat our myths as facts and build American identity and policy around them, we make it difficult if not impossible to fully appreciate all who sacrificed to build America—indigenous and immigrant, slave and free—and what we must do to move forward, together. The "maker" versus "taker" narrative only serves to prop up a false and damaging hierarchy of human value.
Progress requires a truth, accountability, healing, and reconciliation process to build democratic culture, and a community wealth-building approach to address economic insecurity and inequity.
South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission is the most famous such process, but at least 46 countries, including Canada, Peru, Argentina, Rwanda, and El Salvador, have used a truth and reconciliation process to move forward in the wake of intractable problems. And the approach isn't foreign to the United States. Maine and the Wabanaki tribal governments adopted a tribal-state truth and reconciliation process in 2012, and Maryland adopted a Lynching Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2019. The commissions are doing difficult work and none are perfect, but there's much to learn from their efforts. After studying the commissions, the Carnegie Council for Ethics and International Affairs recommends that if we scale these models in the United States, we must examine the role governments have played in the creation of inequitable policies and practices. Success also requires that the work be carefully tailored for and deeply connected to communities, thus reflecting the diversity of the country and encouraging wide-spread participation, including participation by youth and young adults. And instead of a nationwide process, a federal fund could support regional, and ultimately, state, local, and civil society efforts. A separate entity might be tasked with making recommendations to address systemic racism at the state and federal level and given the power to make structural change. While some of recommendations are preliminary, the council makes clear that "there is no doubt that the United States needs to begin a conversation around long-term reconciliation, and it requires both the systems and structures of government, and an aware and committed population, to facilitate it." Federal support for communities taking this approach would galvanize what's essential—long overdue steps to share and learn history based on facts, and those facts illuminating new ways for communities to move forward responsibly and heal.
Community wealth-building is one way for communities to do that work. As my co-editors and I write in our new book, Community Wealth Building and the Reconstruction of American Democracy, "the ambitious goal of community wealth building…is to simultaneously address long-standing and debilitating structures of racial inequity, redress massive disparities in wealth and influence, reinvigorate robust local democratic practice, and reconfigure progressive federalism in a manner that provides both more resources and responsibility to devolved localities without sacrificing (indeed while strengthening) needed federal protections of civil rights, labor law, environmental protections, and other required national standards." It provides a pathway for communities to make tangible progress with federal and state support, or if the federal government is absent or hostile (an environment we must prepare for given the newly composed Supreme Court).
Cities and communities like Cleveland, Durham, Richmond, and Rochester are starting to build on this approach. They're setting equity goals that are bold enough to animate change in practices, systems, and the distribution of resources. They're defining wealth broadly to encompass what individuals and communities need to thrive, including the assets owned by individuals and households; business ownership; public parks, libraries, and other public and shared community assets; and social capital. And some cities are turning to the innovative use of economic tools to accomplish several goals: unlock existing community assets, develop new ones, direct the flow of assets into communities, encourage local ownership, and attract new investment.
The election is over, but our work for American democracy has just begun. As we build a shared economy and politics, we also have to dig deeper to build a culture that can nurture and support them. Communities will fuel this work—places where we can engage and understand our history, encourage healthy civic participation to reveal and address our common concerns, and innovate in furtherance of equitable wealth building and opportunity. The false choice between local and federal activity doesn't serve our country. We need both. When the chasm is wide and deep, when many if not most feel hopeless and angry, we must turn to communities to help us build a culture that will sustain American democracy.

Winning the "Cold Civil War"


I was in Australia and was heading to the Sydney Oprea House when suddenly I saw strange and interesting statues.
"What are they?" I asked myself.
There were about 200 of these statues and I was in shock. After when I came from my vacation I learned that they were not statues. Instead, they were souls of the old samurais and they came back to kill other people.
They said that they killed 2 people already and they were seeking more revenge.
I didn't sleep for 2 weeks and never want to see them again.
Nice Story! Very impressed! I liked the spooky feeling!
Souls of the old Samurias – how interesting!
I wonder what were they seeking revenge for?
Out of the stories that I read this week I think this one is my favorite. I like how you did the myth and made everything seem new and unknown although the I think the final sentence could have been removed and then you could use more describing words instead.
Nice! Your story was very descriptive!
I liked your story a lot but if feel like it could use a little bit more punctuation to make it more interesting.


Ya Yah Design started almost 5 years ago when people started to order the giraffe rattles other than just family and friends. I soon noticed that once people ordered one as gift they would come back and order more for the next new baby because they got the seal of approval from the babies themselves- it's much nicer to buy a present that will be played with and loved than one which just sits on a shelf and forgotten as so many baby gifts are.
next I developed my Re-useable Sandwich and Snack Bags mostly because Preschool Banned Gladwrap and I just Couldn't Fit All the Little Plastic Boxes in my Daughters Lunch Box. I Decided there had to be a Better Way and started Experimenting with different types of Bags. Most I tried She was Unable to Open on her Own or too Complicated to Redo if putting Stuff back in. So I made a Reusable Version of what We had Growing Up - the Plastic Sandwich Envelope. It Worked Well at Our Place so I made Some for Friends and Tested them out. Made a Few Small Changes Along the Way and Now Have a Great Range of Designs to Choose From.
More recently I have developing a couple of very dear little bear friends called Fred and Georgie. When I first took these two to a craft market I quickly realised that while some people instantly feel in love Georgie who is very smooth others went straight to Fred who is extra soft and slightly scruffy ( they also wanted to cuddle stroke them both ) . I always use the same pattern for these bears however they never look the same , instead coming out as individuals with their own little personalities bursting out.

"Who's Who" is a "way of saying" which represents a way of living and working; it's an unspoken rule that has become the guiding moral of the way of thinking and doing, it's the reason for faith in some principles and the refusal of others.

The Original Rush Limbaugh
Lawyer, Legislator, and Civil Libertarian
Dennis K. Boman
Missouri Biography Series
Born at the end of the nineteenth century into a farming family of modest means in southeastern Missouri, Rush Hudson Limbaugh Sr. led a distinguished professional life as an attorney, legislator, and special ambassadorial representative of the United States. Today his descendants benefit from his reputation for integrity and public-spiritedness as a lawyer and member of his community, a legacy that lives on in his family in the careers of two federal district court judges, Stephen Limbaugh Sr. and Jr., and David Limbaugh, a practicing attorney and a nationally known author and political commentator. Moreover, Limbaugh's character and life has gained wider renown on the radio talk show of his grandson and namesake.
In this biography, Dennis K. Boman recounts Limbaugh's legal career, which spanned most of the twentieth century and included a number of important events in Missouri history. His legal prowess first came to wider public notice when he managed the impeachment trial of state treasurer Larry Brunk, who was accused of misconduct in office. Among his later achievements was presiding over the infamous 1935 case Ware vs. Muench, in which a young woman sued for the return of her infant son. The case gained widespread attention, and the daily courtroom proceedings were reported in detail by newspapers across the United States. His legal opinion in the case was widely quoted and upheld by the Supreme Court of Missouri.
In the midst of the Great Depression, as a state legislator, although a member of the minority party, Limbaugh led the effort to pass significant legislation, including the more fair distribution of the state tax burden, the founding of the Missouri state highway patrol, and the construction of state roads. In the late 1950s, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed Limbaugh to represent the United States as a goodwill ambassador to India.
As a respected lawyer, Limbaugh was selected to serve on different civil rights commissions. First a member of the American Bar Association's Special Committee on the Bill of Rights, he later was appointed its chair. This committee investigated the circumstances of African Americans, especially in the South, and sought to find practical ways to end racial discrimination and segregation. Moreover, he served as a member of the Special Committee on Civil Rights and Social Unrest in 1964 and 1965, as well as a commissioner on the Missouri Commission on Human Rights and Responsibilities, which examined violations of civil rights and led to legislation to protect non-whites from discrimination.
Boman conducted personal interviews with many members of the Limbaugh family, whose candid answers add invaluable insights into Limbaugh's character and career. Boman delves into Limbaugh's memoirs, family correspondence, and personal papers, as well as newspaper accounts, to chronicle the life of a man who served his state and country until his death at the age of 104.
Dennis K. Boman is Assistant Director of the Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Law at Saint Louis University Law School and is the author of several books, including Lincoln and the Citizens' Rights in Civil War Missouri: Balancing Security and Freedom. He lives in St. Louis, Missouri.
The Missouri Biography Series, edited by William E. Foley
"Rush Limbaugh, Jr., the radio talk host, now overshadows his grandfather, but it is in his grandfather's shadow in which he grew. In The Original Rush Limbaugh Dennis Boman perceptively recreates the rich one hundred-and-four year life of Rush Limbaugh, Sr.—a poor farm boy who grew up into an idealistic Progressive era attorney; a small town lawyer who acquired a taste for large, even international, interests; a strong supporter of the post-World War II Civil Rights Movement; and the patriarch of a family of talented lawyers and judges. Of special interest are Boman's chapters on Limbaugh's leadership of the impeachment of Missouri State Treasurer Larry Brunk and his role as a special prosecutor in the sensational child-kidnapping trial of Nelle Muench."—Kenneth H.

Affordable, Fun, Fast: The Impulse Category
By Paul Narulaaccess_time12 years ago
Space on any retail shelf can be hard to obtain. With only a limited amount of space to go around, companies have to compete fiercely just to be seen. But there is one toy category that is often found outside of the toy aisle—and likes it that way. Found in bins or by the checkout line, the impulse and novelty category has established a place in today's toy market that separates it from the standard products of the category and makes it a unique facet of the business. "Mattel has tracked toy shoppers behaviors and attitudes over the years and has seen women expressing an increased focus on managing money and time spent toy shopping," says Pam Greer, senior director of customer marketing and consumer insight at Mattel. In today's tight-pursed and time-conscious retail environment, the impulse category has never been more important to retailers or to manufacturers in making sales and attracting consumers.
Impulse products have always been an important category for retailers. When people keep a close eye on their budget, the category's importance increases. "More than ever, price points are key," says Jennifer Devine, director of marketing at Basic Fun, a division of the Good Stuff company. "Retailers are looking for them, consumers are looking for them, and impulse has them." Most manufacturers interviewed agree that the sweet spot for impulse product today is between the $3.99 and $5.99 range, with higher end products pushing the envelope at $9.99. Basic Fun has also developed a line of low-price electronic toys, including carabiner games, which can go as high as $19.99, but still occupy the impulse niche due to their comparative low pricing and high profit margins for retailers.
Impulse has also become an extremely important category for licensors. While major brands will always find consumers for their main toy and product lines, parents can't afford to buy a child the latest products every time they go to a store. Licensed impulse products, such as the Disney-licensed Pook-a-Looz collection from CDI, a division of Jakks Pacific, give consumers a more affordable way to interact with the brand. "You can buy into a brand without breaking into the bank," says Herb Mitschele, senior vice-president of sales at CDI, "and for retailers, it's easy to display and easy to make it work."
The impulse category has seen a great deal of success in the past year mostly due to Silly Bandz, from BCP Imports. The line has made retailers, licensors, and even other manufacturers sit up and take notice. CDI's Mitschele notes that the success of Silly Bandz products has been beneficial to the category as a whole, since the success of one impulse product line has opened up new avenues of distribution for other manufacturers. According to Mitschele, CDI has been able to establish programs this year with retailers that have previously avoided the impulse category, thinking of it as a low-profit business or feeling the space could be used for other retail opportunities. "More people are paying attention to the category," says Mitschele, "and we're certainly going to capitalize on the success that we've already seen."
Perhaps what has really allowed impulse products to blossom in the past year is the category's ability to adapt to a changing marketplace. "We're pretty much in every kind of store you could think of," says Mark DiPasquale, director of sales at PlayVisions. "If you have a cash register, you can sell our products." And in any category, if you have a product that can sell, then you have a success.
PlayVisions:
The Aquattacks are the latest version of PlayVisions Water Wiggles, featuring new monstrous decorations and features.
CDI:
Working with the Disney brand, CDI has developed a full line of Disney novelty products called Pook-a-Looz, which features stylized Disney characters as key chains, wind-up toys, and more.
Imperial:
Imperial has released the sculpted rubber band sets known as Googly Bands in a number of themed collections, including animals, events, and more. The company has also just signed a deal to produce Googly Bands with multiple Hasbro brands.
BCP Imports:
BCP Imports has created a collection of Silly Bandz based on the characters from the Yo Gabba Gabba television series.
Basic Fun:
Basic Fun has teamed with Sanrio for a line of Hello Kitty impulse products, such as this Hello Kitty coin purse, called the Hello Kitty Coin Keeper.

Travel Story The many charms of Kuala Lumpur
By Mark Thornton
Travel Writer
After a lifetime of travelling to the Malaysian capital, Mark Thornton finds the city's compelling mix of the historic and the modern means no two visits are quite the same.
Malaysia's capital city Kuala Lumpur was built on seven hills, just like Rome, or so my retired Malaysian detective inspector of police mate told me — except that it's not. It's a romantic notion; many cities around the world claim the "seven hills" association.
Actually there is a small hill station 100km north of Kuala Lumpur named Fraser's Hill that was built on seven hills in 1922, just 65 years after KL. Named after an English adventurer and tin miner, it became a favourite destination for KL's wealthy residents escaping the summer heat of the city.
I've visited KL many times in 50 years: in the early 1960s as a boy with my family, much later as a tourist and more recently on assignment for The West Australian, which was when I met the detective inspector. Each time I saw the place in a different way.
I loved the old city and I love the new one, with its bold designs that blend tradition with the future, exemplified in the Islamic Arts Museum, the National Mosque and the King's Palace. Other notable buildings are the fairytale railway station, built in 1910 and combining English Victorian and Moorish architecture, and the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, formerly the State Secretariat, which looks as if it was made from icing sugar and pink marzipan. This beautiful structure stands on one side of Merdeka Square, a 200m-long manicured lawn in the city's centre surrounded by other colonial buildings.
Putrajaya, Malaysia's federal administrative capital near KL. Mark Thornton
The square is KL's most prominent landmark and is similar to the Padang in the centre of Singapore. The British used to play cricket on both, though KL's square became more famous for being the place where Malaysia proclaimed its freedom, or "merdeka", from colonial rule in August 1957.
Also fringing the square is the Royal Selangor Club, a low black-and-white mock Tudor building that was built in built in 1884 as the watering hole for the British elite. It became the centre of colonial society in its heyday.
Although it later burned down, the club was rebuilt to the original design and today remains the place to be seen for KL's VIPs. Anyone who can afford it can become a member, though its saloon remains men only. During our assignment for The West, my cameraman and I were taken to dinner there by a charming Oxford-educated Malaysian who had become rich exploiting the nation's forests. Despite wearing our best clothes, we were not invited into the saloon.
The city's adherence to colonial style belies its self-assurance, and the designers of the contemporary city have rewritten the books on modern style. The most definitive landmarks of all are the twin Petronas Towers, which demand your attention. Designed to look like minarets, they were completed in 1996 at a cost of $2 billion and, at 451.9m, are today the tallest twin towers in the world. Coated in steel and glass, they sparkle by day and shine from internal lighting like ice pinnacles at night.
The Petronas Towers. Mark Thornton
KL has long been a favourite South-East Asian city, not just for its location and overall design, but because some of its districts have cafes favoured by shady characters exuding a barely definable criminal aura. It was in one of these I met the retired detective inspector through a mutual friend in Australia's Special Air Service Regiment. The inspector was the local contact for me to find and film the leader of a group of Muslim rebels raiding the Buddhist southern states of Thailand from a jungle hideout near Kota Bharu in the north east.
It took a couple of days to set up a meeting, requiring coffees at small dark cafes with the inspector, during which time I came to know him and why he loved this lovely city. His remark about it being built on seven hills was romantic rather than true. He was like that, and although he was retired, he still carried a Walther PPK semi-automatic pistol in his belt. "It's the one James Bond favoured," he said, and whenever we went out for a meal he would plonk it on the table for all to see. No one seemed to notice, let alone be impressed.
He knew much about KL, including that as South-East Asian cities go it's young, not quite 160 years old. It was effectively founded in 1857 when a gang of Chinese tin prospectors set up camp at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers, a spot they named Kuala Lumpur, meaning "muddy river junction".
The tin, as well as gold and rubber, plus plantation crops such as coffee, tapioca and later oil palms, fuelled its development. More recently banking and manufacturing, which accounts for 40 per cent of GDP, have propelled Malaysia to become the third-biggest economy in South-East Asia, after Indonesia and Thailand, all of it controlled by the hands-on government in KL.
KL stands picturesquely in the wide Klang Valley bordered by ranges of hills to the north and south and by the Titiwangsa Mountains that rise to about 2180m in the west. The mountains form the backbone of Malaysia and continue into Thailand, Burma and beyond. If you walked north-west along them you would eventually find yourself in Tibet.
Cameron Highlands. Will Ellis
On the range about 200km north of KL, twice the distance of Fraser's Hill, is another much bigger and more popular hill station and tea plantation — the Cameron Highlands, named after Sir William Cameron, who founded it in 1885. My family visited the highlands several times in the early 60s to see my father, who was convalescing in the British Military Hospital there. In the late 60s, the hospital hosted Australian and New Zealand soldiers wounded in Vietnam. It was eventually returned to its former role as a convent in 1971. It retains spectacular views over the surrounding hills and valleys.
The highlands, still regarded as Malaysia's "Little England", are set on a tableland the size of Singapore with most of the area still thick jungle. It was gazetted as a wildlife sanctuary in 1962 and while it has since grown into a popular resort region, there's still plenty of room for the animals, including 74 species of birds. While rare, there are also reportedly black panthers and clouded leopards.
The inspector said the highlands were just three hours' drive north of KL, making them a popular weekend retreat, and he took his wife and daughters there often. The cameraman and I said our return flight did not leave till Monday and ... the inspector looked at us, the look suggesting he didn't want us meeting his daughters.
He smiled and said he wouldn't be going this weekend due to other commitments. We smiled back, shook hands, thanked him for his help and returned to our hotel.

She retired in 2005 and started graduate school at Harvard University while working in retail management, and in 2008, she left Boston to transition into the Peace Corps, where she served in Armenia from 2009-2011. Her first fundraising position was as the Development Coordinator for the Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation, of which she is a member, in 2011. Shannon changed jobs to KIB in March of 2014, and thinks Indianapolis is a great town for nonprofits and she loves seeing change and growth in the city!
I moved to Indy in October 2011. I didn't know the city when I accepted a job here. The best advice I was given, and took, about moving to Indy was to live downtown!
I believe non-profits can save the world, one person at a time. After developing my nonprofit management skills in the Peace Corps, I decided to combine my passions for customer service and non-profits as a fundraiser. I love helping people match their passions to change the world.
Take time to travel outside of your comfort zone and see things. It gives our lives and our jobs a bigger perspective. Be passionate about your work and find joy in it every day. If you love your job, you will never work a day in your life.
I would like to learn how to sing in public. I can carry a tune but that's about it.
I didn't know how to answer this so I took two quizzes online. Both quizzes said I would be a lamp. Here it goes. I would be a lamp because they shine a light on things unseen. I like to learn new things and make the unknown less scary. If we don't try, we'll never learn.
Personally, I want to learn to play the guitar. Professionally, I am excited to work with and expand our planned giving program at Keep Indianapolis Beautiful.
Want to support Shannon's work?

Bills Place Linebacker Robinson On Reserve/Retired List
Photo Credit - Harry How / Getty Images
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills have placed linebacker Keenan Robinson on the reserve/retired list.
The move on Thursday comes a month after the Bills signed the sixth-year player just before they opened training camp.
Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier characterized Robinson's decision as personal, adding he has a lot of respect for him as a person and player.
The 29-year-old Robinson spent the previous two seasons with the New York Giants. He was limited to playing six games last year before sustaining a season-ending quadriceps injury.
He spent his first four seasons with Washington after being selected in the fourth round of the 2012 draft. He missed all of 2013 with a torn pectoral muscle.
Overall, Robinson had two interceptions and 1½ sacks in 58 career games, including 30 starts.
The Bills also released defensive tackle Tenny Palepoi. This comes after they signed Palepoi on Sunday.

Home NEWS WORLD NEWS Venezuela seeks arrest of three US residents over role in failed attack
Venezuela seeks arrest of three US residents over role in failed attack
Venezuela's chief prosecutor has ordered the arrest of a former US soldier and two opposition figures living in the US for their alleged role in a botched operation aimed at removing Nicolas Maduro from power.
Tarek William Saab said Venezuela will seek the capture of Jordan Goudreau, a military veteran who has claimed responsibility for the attack, as well as Juan Jose Rendon and Sergio Vergara, two US-based advisers to opposition leader Juan Guaido.
"They are living in impunity," Mr Saab said. "In tranquillity over there."
US law enforcement is investigating Goudreau, though it remains unclear if he will charged.
President Donald Trump does not recognise Mr Maduro's government, making it highly unlikely that his administration would accept any extradition request.
The Trump administration has denied all responsibility for the armed raid, which resulted in the arrests of two Americans, Luke Denman and Airan Berry, who were purportedly hired by Goudreau's private firm to participate in the failed assault.
In an interview with Fox News Channel on Friday, Mr Trump said he "didn't know too much" about the attack and again denied any US government involvement.
"It wasn't led by General George Washington, obviously," he said. "This was not a good attack."
Venezuelan authorities have been insisting that Trump's government was behind the plot, with Mr Saab noting Friday that the US had previously offered a 15 million dollar bounty for Mr Maduro's arrest, which he said opened the door for such attacks.
"That gives a green light for an incursion into our territory," he said.
Denman and Berry are both former US special forces soldiers who served in Iraq. In video statements aired on Venezuela's state television, both said they had been hired by Goudreau to train rebel troops in Colombia and target Mr Maduro. Goudreau has said they were part of his operation.
Rendon has acknowledged giving Goudreau 50,000 dollars to cover some expenses and said that he and Vergara signed an agreement with the three-time Bronze Star recipient.
Meanwhile, Goudreau has presented what said is an audio recording made on a hidden mobile phone in which Mr Guaido can be heard briefly greeting the combat veteran via video conference.
The opposition leader recognised by the US and about 60 other nations as Venezuela's rightful president has denied any involvement in the operation.
Saab said Venezuela is issuing 22 new arrest orders and did not mention Guaidó among them.


New Orleans For more than 30 years I've taken some vacation days at the end of the year so I could spent time with my children and family, sort of a sorry payback or smart pay forward, as they say now, for a life with lots of travel. We revive with a couple of days near a beach, if we can afford to get out of town, or in an especially good year a week or two in some great city like Madrid or Lisbon, usually after some local disaster reduced the airline ticket costs.
It's not that there's no work. There are always loose ends to try to pull together. Painting that had been postponed for months with walls begging for primer. Piles of tools and gear waiting for the right moment to be put up in the garage, which the kids have always called a shed. The pile of magazines that need to be finished. The books ordered and stacked for the year's reading. Figuring out how to use electronics gifted or gotten.
And, there's work-work, some unpleasant, like moving to evict a bully boy, car dealer, radio huckster and hustler off of the KABF tower where they have been virtually squatting for years as they took advantage of a volunteer crew and a nonprofit mentality, and some just plain necessary like spending hours working out the calendar for the coming year. Can the trip to Buenos Aires be postponed another year, since Nairobi has been put off too long, and Scotland and India are already booked? How many weeks will be set aside for Little Rock? When do we open the second Fair Grinds Coffeehouse? Can we get the organizing drives finished? Can we get the Citizen Wealth service centers up and running in time? When will I finish the book that has occupied me for 10 years and is now finally within reach? These are all the kinds of questions that require some quiet space for reflection and planning, which is always the scarcest commodity of all work.
We try to finally go see some movies so we have an opinion on the year's best, notching the Dallas Buyer's Club and American Hustle so far, thumbs up on those two, and looking for Llewellyn Davis and the Wolf on Wall Street in town now. I'm still interested in Nebraska and though Gravity looked boring from the description, we'll watch it, if it's around or someone finds it on Netflix for us. I listen to some music finding it unbelievable how amazing it can be to hear MIA rap or bubbling rhymes and voices of Vampire Weekend.
It was eerie to see that President Obama has been mimicking our television choices with time spent on HBO's Game of Thrones (which with 6 million illegal downloads leads the BitTorrent rip-and-run listing as well), and Boardwalk Empire, and our binge watching early in the year of Breaking Bad and House of Cards. We're OK with it though. It gives us a funny kind of hope.
An item caught my eye while writing this in David Brooks' column in the Times. It seems that surveys indicate that the average American falls in love 2.5 times in a lifetime and psychologists say that we're only capable of 5 or 6 true loves through the span of our years. Not sure what to make of that other than it being an argument for keeping the family small.
All of which reminds me that in tabulating the ups and downs at year end and getting ready to begin another, that responding to the surprises are as important as all of the resolutions made, and that some of the major ones are always the magical gift of life itself and the wonders of the people and world all around us.
You and your family are a large part of me. You have my trust and confidence. It's too late to turn back, we are movin' on!

Nice picture, but as usual the problem with many pictures taken in the Netherlands is that the lightness of the sky throws everything else into dark blob.
I have taken many photos of Amsterdam city-scapes - and discarded most of them because of the lack of detail in the foreground or middle-distance.
I often wish that I were a better photographer.
I always wish I were a better photographer. In this case, I probably could get a better effect by going at midday instead of twilight. In any case, the damn cars obscure the canal side view.
I am afraid that is not the one. The Golden Bend is what you see when you are standing on the Vijzelgracht looking West. The Spiegelstraat starts on the Golden Bend. You on the other hand have a side canal going in that spot.
"I often wish that I were a better photographer."
1) Aim well below the horizon and press your release button half-way. On the digital cameras I know this will trigger the light metering, but will not actually take a picture. While keeping the release button pressed half way, point your camera at your subject and then press the button all the way.
2) Modern cameras (2009 and later) have a so-called HDR mode (High Dynamic Range) that will solve your problem automatically by taking several exposures at once. I typically don't like the results, but tastes differ and it might be just your thing. Search Flickr for "HDR" and you will see what I mean.
3) Some digital cameras have a setting for temporarily under- or over-exposing your photos. On my Canon the button for this function looks like a square with a plus and a minus in it.
Mine was looking west from Leidsestraat, so "a bridge too far."


You open a newspaper, it's all about politics, war, and horrors. Between lies from politicians, finance institutions ripping off your savings, and big corporation making billions, it seems the world is going down to the cellar. However, there are millions of individuals who have understood the underlying forces of success, who are living successful lives, and who seem to go through difficulties with ease. This is what I'm interested in. As a successful entrepreneur and professional, I've gone through tough days, weeks, months and years, gone through tremendous successes, and leveraged all my experience to continue to strive in whatever I start and do.
I created this blog after the financial crisis of 2008 (if you are still wondering what happened, go and watch The Big Short) because I was fed up of all the negativity that was floating around. Yes, the financial system is rotten. Yes, politicians are corrupted. Yes, we can see the world is killing itself. Or we can be optimistic while not delusional, we can build on positive thoughts and actions, we can put a brick in the wall of the new world. And this is what I want to help people with, through this blog and my new resolution for the year: the hump day success edge.
For non-English natives, hump day is Wednesday. Why hump day? From urbandictionary.com, hump day comes from « the context of climbing a proverbial hill to get through a tough week ». Therefore, the hump day is the best day of the week, because the weekend gets closer. However, I see this has the pinnacle of the week, the day of hope, of maximum energy. And because I want ultimate success, this is the best day to stop for 15 minutes and reflect on our lives, loves and craft. So this year, I will, every Wednesday, write on what can make each of us more successful in every aspect of our personal and professional lives. Simple no non-sense ideas, easy to execute, and game-changing.
Get ready for the Hump Day Success Edge! Live February 3!
Day 702 In nature, most hunted animals live in herds: gnus, antelopes, buffalos, to name a few. Most hunting animals live in tribes: lions, hyena, or hippos. Some tribes are hunted too of course, but herds are rarely hunters. When it comes to the human animal, the herd and the tribe are generally metaphors. Any human may be part of the herd when it comes to politics, believing the biggest liar, and part of the small tribe that loves paragliding for instance. Admittedly, human herds and tribes are not about hunting, at least not as in life and death, however they are about behaviors, decision-making, and happiness. Some people love to conform and be part of the herd, however most, if not all, belong to one or more tribes they feel good with because it feels good. Politicians have always targeted herds, marketing used to and still is with less and less success, successful businesses are no longer taking care of herds but do their best to penetrate as many tribes as possible. Belonging to a herd gives a feeling of security, this is what society wants us to believe in. As Napoleon Bonaparte rightly said: « The herd seek out the great, not for their sake but for their influence; and the great welcome them out of vanity or need. » Some days ago I was writing on being different, being ourselves, not conforming to what society wants to us to conform. Here are 5 good reasons that came to my mind, why the herd mentality has to be avoided to become the true you.
Man is a thinking animal and as such can form his or her own ideas. Use your brain to think and make decisions, do not let others, politicians, businesses, activists decide for you. You are your master!
My needs are different from my neighbor's. Maslow have defined human needs, and we may all have the same kind at the physiological, safety and love levels. However, when it comes to self-actualization and self-transcendence, their realization is different for each individual. It's critical to find your path and your tribe.
Success comes to the audacious not to the conformist. Look around you to famous and successful people, they have some characteristics in common, but are mostly weirdos and risk takers.
Happiness is the result of achievement, and achievement does not come without risks. Do things nobody else does, do not listen to the naysayers, feel the thrill of having tested your limits.
Herds are manipulated. Read the quote of Napoleon, it's the basis of politics, and go back to point number 1.
Our modern world has reinforced both the herd and the tribe feeling. The herd goes shopping on the Black Friday or on the first day of sales, resulting in really stupid behaviors. Tribes are easily identified and built with social networks, crowdfunding and modern technology. It has never been easier to get rid of a herd and make our own decision. Tribes are becoming far more powerful than herds. Step out of the herd!


"One of the projects I work with since 2014 is the Center for Entrepreneurial Learning at Valdivia (south of Chile). The center is part of the faculty of economics at Universidad Austral.
Last month we (the center as a group is currently 12 people) decided to rethink and re-feel our practices of collaboration and effectiveness due to the new projects that were assigned to the center. This became the driver that led us to the following proposal to: share some technologies that we were not exploring at the time regarding the amount of projects the center was currently leading: S3, some other agile and self-management tools, and some wholeness practices.
Next we agreed to introduce consent as the way of making decisions inside each circle. Wehave used circles as part of self-organizing and self-management practices inside each project since 2015. We understood that this would need a deeper reflection inside the center, introducing a delegate circle for those decisions that would affect everyone for example.
For some time, a number of the group, including the center´s director, had been experiencing and sensing a lack of motivation within the team. We started reframing our values, purpose and strategic objectives. It was wonderful to rediscover purpose, celebrate each other and gain motivation. Then we redefined projects as domains and described the primary drivers for each domain, along with describing the primary driver for the Center as a whole. The act of defining drivers was very interesting because in some domains we needed to translate some quite bureaucratic terminology into a language we together felt more comfortable with and could agree on together.
Many insights (sub-drivers) arose from these first steps towards reinventing our way of organizing work and collaboration. One of these was to develop greater relational awareness. So we agreed first to have an "Emotional Backlog" (a pattern developed first in the Sociocracy 3.0 movement in Brazil), and to restore relationships inside a restorative circle. Going forwards we are developing operational and governance backlogs for each domain.
And now, here we are, very inspired and looking forward to redefining roles and creating operational, governance and emotional meetings. People found S3 very cool and practical due to patterns that can be introduced one at a time or plugged together in clusters. The group found it wonderful to navigate via tension, to agree by consent and to remain in the awareness of working together, driven by values they felt a sense of ownership over.
So one of my roles was defined and will be to introduce as many patterns as the group needs (and can handle). So there we go! I'm looking forward to share our next steps.

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disease, it's treatment course is linger than other diseases. Drug therapy is the common way to treat vitiligo. Many vitiligo patients concerned about this question does vitiligo need long term drug therapy?
Vitiligo is a chronic stubborn depigmentation skin disease, it need the vitiligo patients long term continuously take the medicines. But many vitiligo patients feel that the first time medication treatment can get better treatment effects, but with the time went by, they will found the treatment effects of their medicine is poorer than before or have no treatment effects at all.
Vitiligo patients long term take medicine will have drug resistance, the main reason is some drugs under the drug metabolizing enzymes effect in the livers. When the medicine enter the blood and it's action parts, the medicine concentration play a role in certain degree. But later, the medicines will be broke down under the liver enzyme, it's effects will decreased.
So the vitiligo patients long term take medicine will have the phenomenon of their treatment effects is not as good as before or have no treatment at all. To avoid this phenomenon appear, the specific medicines and dosages need to be decided according to the vitiligo patient's vitiligo conditions and their physical conditions, and during the treatment process, make the adjustment according the the patient's vitiligo changes and avoid overuse medicine or not enough medicine and can not make the patients get good treatment effects.
The specialists in Beijing CASU Vitiligo Hospital indicates the vitiligo patients that the treatment effects of the medicines used to treat vitiligo often have treatment effects in the middle treatment process, if the vitiligo patients abruptly stop the medicines or change other medicines will influence the patient's treatment effects. Once the newly changed medicine have no treatment effects, their confidence will influenced. So the vitiligo patients should avoid change medicines or stop using medicines to avoid decrease their treatment effects.
Correct treatment, continuous treatment, systemic treatment and combined treatment these four points is what vitiligo patients need pay attention to in their treatment process. If the vitiligo patients wants to get rid of vitiligo completely, they'd better insist their treatment, stop the treatment in the middle of their treatment process often can not make them achieve very good treatment effects. Meanwhile, vitiligo patients should pay attention to combine varies ways to treat their vitiligo. While adopt the orally take medicines and injections, they also can choose the laser, surgery therapies.
But vitiligo treatment doesn't necessary means they need to take medicines for a long term. After treatment, their skin color began become normal, their vitiligo enter the stable stage, if their skin color in their vitiligo parts maintain normal skin color for more than one year, they can stop the medicines. Vitiligo treatment should in the early stage, vitiligo in early stage is earlier to treat, if their vitiligo worsen, not only the patients will suffer from mental burden and economical pressures, their treatment difficulty also will increase.
