A: In a VPS you do not usually install GRUB.  GRUB loads the kernel (among other things).  If you have an OpenVZ or similar environment, you do not load the kernel.  The kernel is shared between containers.  You also do not update the kernel -- and it will, in fact be write-protected from your updates.
In a VPS which is based on KVM this is a different matter.  You do load the kernel in these cases.  You can find out which type of VPS you have by checking your contract -- or by looking at the output of uname -a.  OpenVZ kernels usually add a specific string, like 2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64, to the kernel version.
See also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1603351/should-i-choose-kvm-or-openvz-for-my-vps for a comparison of the two approaches (there are more, but they are less common).
PS: This answer relates to the original question which was on GRUB location on a VPS. The relevant data is now in the comments to this answer.

All postdoctoral scholars with appointments of 100% for 3 to 12 months at UC Davis will be eligible to enroll in University-sponsored, low-cost health insurance through the University of California. The UC Postdoc Scholar Benefit Program (PSBP) includes medical, dental, and vision insurance for the Postdoc Scholar and eligible dependents – spouse and/or children.
The PSBP provides the required Repatriation & Medical Evacuation coverage for the J1 Postdoc Scholar as well as J2 dependents at no cost to the Postdoc.
If scholars elect to enroll in the UC Davis PSBP plan, they can do so through the UC Davis Benefits office upon arrival in Davis, CA. Scholars are also eligible to enroll eligible family members (spouse and children) at the time of their arrival.
Scholars who choose to enroll in the PSBP will be personally responsible to pay the Postdoc Scholar contribution towards the monthly medical premium. In general, this is a low payment compared to most other plans. There is no financial contribution towards the dental or vision plans, which is a great benefit to postdoctoral scholars.
Monthly payments vary depending on the medical plan choice and number of dependents enrolled. The Postdoc Scholar's contribution will automatically be deducted from monthly earnings by the Payroll system. In cases where the Postdoc is not paid by the University, the Postdoc will make monthly contributions directly to the PSBP plan broker's office.
More information about insurance plan details and the UC Postdoc Scholar Benefit Program is available from Garnett-Powers, the broker who oversees the benefits. Enrollment and premium payment information will be provided to the Postdoc Scholar at the time of appointment at UC Davis.
Postdoc Scholars are encouraged to attend Postdoc Orientation where the PSBP plans and enrollment process are discussed. Schedules for these sessions will be provided to the Postdoc when the appointment is processed at UC Davis.
The UC Davis PSBP Coordinator is Kathleen Smith (PSBP website). Please contact her to learn more about the program or for any questions you may have.

Musical Direction The role of the music director is complex. It is more than "keeping time". Choosing appropriate music, teaching vocal skills, nurturing assistant directors, developing, and leading an accomplished music team are integral to the ongoing improvement of the chorus and represent only a small portion of the director's role.
Linda Kuehnbaum, our music director, is highly experienced in the vocal style of barbershop music. Singing as a teenager in her mother's chorus right here in Niagara, and later directing her own chorus, Nickel City Sound of Sudbury, Linda's musical career has spanned 40+ years.
Put this know-how in the mix with skills she developed as a teacher, her formal music education and her experience singing in a quartet and, "ta da", the chorus has a winning formula for success in our director.
In addition to our Music Director, Sing Niagara's music team has an assistant music director, section leaders, and a stage performance team, all working together to develop the musical and performance skills of the chorus.
Holly Slowinski. Not only is Holly an important resource for our director, but she brings over 40+ years of formal music education in voice and guitar to us as well. Using her experience as a vocal instructor, and her trained "ear", Holly is invaluable in teaching the vocal skills singers need to learn.
With the ongoing dedication and musical direction of the Sing Niagara team, we continue to acquire our "barbersmarts" and grow as an accomplished ensemble, adding to the cultural landscape of groups involved in nurturing the Arts scene in Niagara.


Get ready for Instrumental Awesomeness! We are very excited to announce Plini, Mestis and Arch Echo will tour Europe this June, as part of Salt + Charcoal release. The tour also features shows at Download Festival in UK and Be Prog in Spain!


The recessional music is played after your kiss and it carries you and your wedding party as you leave the altar. It should be similar in style to the processional music, but more upbeat with a "happy" sound. This music should be the most joyous. Consider some of these tunes to carry you down the aisle!
What have YOU selected for your recessional music? I'd love to hear more ideas and share your selections on our website!
It is upbeat and celebrates a uniting of love between two people just married.....Good Luck To All!!

Children aged 12 to 16 to receive Pfizer vaccine says FDA
Purity Muriuki
Starting Thursday, children aged 12 to 15 will begin receiving the Covid-19 vaccine as authorized by the Food and Drug Administration. This move by FDA will increase the number of Americans immunized as the Pfizer-BioTech vaccine gets approved for use in younger teens. Presently, the Pfizer vaccine is only available for 18 and above Americans.
According to the White House, President Joe Biden's administration is ready to use nearly 20,000 pharmacies as vaccination sites for the adolescent when FDA approves the plan.
The director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, Dr. Peter Marks, indicated that children aged 12 will begin receiving their vaccine shot "as soon as Thursday."
Adults Americans have been receiving two Pfizer vaccine doses three weeks apart, and a similar rollout will be carried on such kids. This is "a significant step in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, said Dr. Janet Woodcock, FDA acting commissioner." She continued to say that the move "allows for a younger population to be protected from Covid-19, bringing us closer to returning to a sense of normalcy and to ending the pandemic."
On the other hand, children have not experienced the burden of coronavirus, but older adults have. However, this group can be infected by adults and pass the disease to others. Thus it's important for them to be immunized to protect their grandparents, parents, siblings, and others.
While the authorization will be applied nationwide and its territories, the state rules and regulations will be used. Therefore, in states where the law doesn't allow pharmacies and some sites to give shots to this younger population, the vaccines will be availed via pediatricians' offices and community centers.
The vaccine is 100 % effective and safe for children. However, parents are advised that children are likely to experience minimal side effects such as a sore arm and slight fever.
It's important for the government to be transparent in the entire vaccination processing to improve trust and motivate those who are still hesitant to go for their vaccine shot. The more young people are vaccinated, the safer it is to reopen schools because it will allow them to resume their face-to-face learning.
Other ongoing studies by different vaccine makers like Johnson & Johnson is studying whether children can be injured with the one-dose vaccine shot. Moderna and Pfizer are also studying whether kids up to 6 months can receive the vaccine shot. The results of these studies will be made available to the public before the end of 2021.

Overruling Abood Will Correct a Travesty
Mark Pulliam
My first two posts in this series discussed, respectively, the origins of the concept of "exclusive representation" in the NLRA and the Supreme Court case law leading up to Abood in 1977. In this post, I will analyze the decision in Abood (which, it will be recalled, was roundly criticized in Harris v. Quinn (2014) and may be overruled in Friedrichs).
First, a brief digression. In 1979-80, I was a third year law student at the University of Texas law school. Because I was interested in labor law, I took a seminar on public sector labor relations. I wrote my seminar paper on the Abood case, which I felt (then and now) was a terrible decision. I submitted my seminar paper to the Labor Law Journal, which published it as "Union Security Clauses in Public Sector Labor Contracts and Abood v. Detroit Board of Education: A Dissent," in the September 1980 issue (31 Labor Law Journal 391). As is evident from the title, I argued that Abood was wrongly decided. It was one of my first published articles. (As far as I can tell, it is not available in a digital format, but I have plenty of reprints if anyone is interested; contact me through the Library of Law and Liberty [link].)
Abood held that agency shop agreements involving a governmental employer do not per se violate the First Amendment rights of free speech and freedom of association of dissenting members of the bargaining unit. The Abood majority applied Hanson and Street to the public sector with a facile analogy to the Court's private sector precedents: "The desirability of labor peace is no less important in the public sector, nor is the risk of 'free riders' any smaller." The Abood majority did acknowledge that nonunion employees could be forced to pay only for the union's expenses in the areas of collective bargaining, contract administration and grievance adjustment, not expenditures related to political candidates or beliefs. The application of private sector precedents to public employees was profoundly misguided. As Justice Alito genteelly stated in Harris v. Quinn, the majority's "analysis [in Abood] is questionable on several grounds."
Justice Lewis Powell wrote a withering concurring opinion that took issue with the majority's glib reliance on Hanson and Street. He sharply disputed the majority's ruling "that there is no constitutional distinction between what the government can require of its own employees and what it can permit private employers to do. To me, the distinction is fundamental." Powell pointed out that "Under the First Amendment, the government may authorize private parties to enter into voluntary agreements whose terms it could not adopt as its own." Powell correctly noted that a public sector labor contract "is not merely analogous to legislation; it has all the attributes of legislation for the subjects with which it deals." Accordingly, Powell went further than the majority in Abood, and stated: "I would make it more explicit that that compelling a government employee to give financial support to a union in the public sector—regardless of the uses to which the union puts the contribution—impinges seriously upon interests in free speech and association protected by the First Amendment." (Emphasis added.)
Powell recognized that public employee unions are inherently political; they are essentially special interest political parties which lobby for higher pay and greater benefits for government employees. Powell further observed that "Collective bargaining in the public sector is 'political' in any meaningful sense of the word." In Abood, which involved a teachers' union, negotiations implicated "such matters of public policy as the educational philosophy that will inform the high school curriculum," as well as wages, benefits, and working conditions, which "will have a direct impact on the level of public services, priorities within state and municipal budgets, creation of bonded indebtedness, and tax rates." The allocation of finite taxpayer funds among competing demands is the essence of governmental decision making. By blindly following the inapt precedents of Hanson and Street, the majority in Abood failed to give sufficient weight to the dissenting employees' First Amendment rights.
As scathing as Powell's concurring opinion was, it did not go far enough. Public employee unions are not only inherently political in all the ways Powell pointed out, they also engage in partisan political activities and attempt to influence elections. Can there be any doubt that the government's requirement that dissenting public employees contribute monies to an organization engaged in objectionable political or ideological activities violates the First Amendment, even if the compelled contribution is limited to the organization's collective bargaining expenses? If an organization has political goals—that is, if it is directly involved in activities such as supporting political candidates or propagating ideological views—any state-compelled support is violative of dissenting employees' First Amendment rights.
Abood was incorrectly decided in 1977. Since then, the membership of public employee unions has skyrocketed, making them one of the most potent—and destructive– political forces in America. I fervently hope that the Court in Friedrichs takes the opportunity to overrule Abood, correcting a travesty that has endured for almost 40 years (and vindicating the thesis of my 1980 Labor Law Journal article).

Can there be any doubt that the government's requirement that dissenting public employees contribute monies to an organization engaged in objectionable political or ideological activities violates the First Amendment, even if the compelled contribution is limited to the organization's collective bargaining expenses?
Uh … yeah, there can be doubt. This argument is not an attack on public unions; it's an attack on all unions. And, for that matter, on management's relationship to shareholders.
More generally, I favor policy unbundling. It may be fine for government to support AIDS prevention and to oppose prostitution – but we cross a line when we withhold AIDS prevention funds from organizations that decline to publicly oppose prostitution. It may be fine for government to promote procreation, healthy child rearing, and private mutual aid pacts – but we cross a line when we withhold support for child rearing and mutual aid pacts except for those couples putatively capable of procreation. It may be fine for government to refrain from promoting religion – but we cross a line when we refuse to do business with organizations that happen to promote religion. It may be fine for government to refuse to provide abortions – but we cross a line when we refuse to do business with organizations that happen to provide abortions.
If government has determined that agency fees provide an appropriate mechanism to prevent free ridership regarding collective bargaining, then the fact that the agent providing the collective bargaining just happens to also espouse views I don't like is not relevant.
The extensive references to the thinking of Lewis F Powell may offer an opportunity for an apologia of the acerbic tone of much of my commentary on this site since it was opened by Liberty Fund a few years back.
In its beginning, The Library of Liberty and Law (as a site) tracked very closely to the intended concerns – Individual Liberty – of the establishing spirit of The Liberty Fund. Over time there has been a drift toward other concerns in the fields of legal theories, social studies, and other matters as sufficient in themselves without their immediate linkage to Individual Liberty.
However, if we look closely behind all those other concerns we can find the links to, or departures from, concerns with Individual Liberty. That is the apologia for acerbity of these often scouring or pedantic comments.
Through the example of the presentation of this particular case and of the reasonings in its determinations, which did concern constitutional protection of individual liberty, we can go further back to consider why and how the legislation (of 1935) came into existence with its effects on individual liberty.
Why do we have "Labor Law?" Why is that "Law" in the form and substance it has become? Do the answers to those questions disclose impacts on individual liberty? What was the background for those developments?
For an answer we might refer to a memorandum written by Lewis F Powell, then a practicing attorney, in the summer of 1971 to his friend Gene Sydnor (whose family incidentally were competitors of my father's engineering firm). The prescience of Powell's thinking comes through today in the current analyses of Charles Murray.
Here is an important extract (1971 remember):
"Relationship to Freedom
"The threat to the enterprise system is not merely a matter of economics. It also is a threat to individual freedom.
"It is this great truth — now so submerged by the rhetoric of the New Left and of many liberals — that must be re-affirmed if this program is to be meaningful.
"There seems to be little awareness that the only alternatives to free enterprise are varying degrees of bureaucratic regulation of individual freedom — ranging from that under moderate socialism to the iron heel of the leftist or rightist dictatorship.
"We in America already have moved very far indeed toward some aspects of state socialism, as the needs and complexities of a vast urban society require types of regulation and control that were quite unnecessary in earlier times. In some areas, such regulation and control already have seriously impaired the freedom of both business and labor, and indeed of the public generally. But most of the essential freedoms remain: private ownership, private profit, labor unions, collective bargaining, consumer choice, and a market economy in which competition largely determines price, quality and variety of the goods and services provided the consumer.
"In addition to the ideological attack on the system itself (discussed in this memorandum), its essentials also are threatened by inequitable taxation, and — more recently — by an inflation which has seemed uncontrollable.14 But whatever the causes of diminishing economic freedom may be, the truth is that freedom as a concept is indivisible. As the experience of the socialist and totalitarian states demonstrates, the contraction and denial of economic freedom is followed inevitably by governmental restrictions on other cherished rights. It is this message, above all others, that must be carried home to the American people."
R Richard Schweitzer
"If government has determined that agency fees provide an appropriate mechanism to prevent free ridership regarding collective bargaining..."
Yes, BUT:
Why is it the governments business whether or not "free ridership" is present, prevalent, or even possible - unless, of course, you are referring top a municipal bus line? In effect, the government is curtailing liberty when it intervenes in a purely economic transaction, the nature of which is (at least theoretically / constitutionally) beyond its proper purview.
In the governments view of this transaction I am either incompetent to defend myself or I am nothing more than a "freeloader." In either case, I must either be protected or constrained AND as such I must be made to contribute to a "cause(s)" with which I may not agree.
This is beating on the same ol' tin pan, but:
We could have clearer understandings if we identified the persons, interests or coalitions using the instrumentalities or mechanisms of governments rather than asserting something is "government action, objectives or choices."
"If government has determined that agency fees provide an appropriate mechanism to prevent free ridership regarding collective bargaining . . . "
No, a group (union officers?) did not want "free riders" they decided to use an administrative body (NLRB), the legal system and the coercion of the federal government for that objective. There no doubt were and are people (human beings - with motives) acting in political and administrative positions of the governmental facilities who support those other motives of that group (for various reasons). But, that is not "government."
Apologies - I do not have your discipline and still use the shorthand "guvmnt" for those human interactions / strivings.
But you are again absotively correct. Nobody really wants to recognize that guvmnt functionaries are no different than the "political" self aggrandizing co-workers about whom nobody really wishes to confront in the office environment - even if one knows that they ARE self-serving! Thus, "graciousness" and forbearance becomes a distinct disadvantage to the principled worker / citizen.
'Bout time, we got a little more vocal, I would say, concerning the "interests" of OUR(?) *public* servants.

School Vouchers are a Victory for Liberty - Freedom's Floodgates
As you no doubt know, the courts have generally held that speech by government employees in their capacity as government employees is not protected by the 1st Amendment. That includes speech about their terms and conditions of employment. The right to petition the government for redress of grievances does not include the right for a government employee to complain at will to his/her employer about his/her working conditions, or to complain about those of his/her co-workers. The fact that his/her salary is paid by the government, and is thus the result of a political decision, doesn't change this.
Scalia's questions during oral argument of Harris v. Quinn were very on-point in the connection between this and the legality of mandatory agency fees. There is essentially no difference in giving government workers the ability to free-ride on the union's speech - essentially, to not speak - and giving them the freedom to not speak when directed to, as part of their employment, by their supervisors.

Uh ... you know that Justice Thomas is a public servant, too, right?
Well, schucks, I'll be! I didn't know that!!!
Thanks for letting me know - now I will have to change my entire worldview.
But yes, Justice Thomas IS a public servant - name five more!
The analogy between employers and employees, on the one hand, and management and shareholders, on the other, is imperfect. Yes, corporate management makes political contributions, and takes political positions. Objecting shareholders can easily sell their publicly-traded shares in favor of an alternative more to their liking. The transaction costs are much greater for an employee objecting to an employer's political contributions or positions. And, in the compulsory dues/fees context, the employee is required to make the payment directly.
My problem with Abood is that the employer is the government, and compulsory payment of dues/fees constitutes state action, which does not exist in the management-shareholder context.
Eliminate exclusive representation, and you will eliminate the free rider rationale. If Union representation and membership were truly voluntary, employees would overwhelmingly opt out, as has happened in Wisconsin.

"It's exciting to have people choreograph on us. It's the most important fuel for your artistic soul."
What gives a ballet company its identity? The caliber and personalities of its dancers, the vision of its artistic director, the location in which it's based – these all play crucial roles. But original ballets, made specifically for the company, shaped around the dancers' individual skills and temperaments, can also be crucial in establishing a troupe's individual profile.
When Miami City Ballet performs at the David Koch Theater this week, its two programs will include works by three of the hottest names in ballet today – all created for the company over the past four years. They should make quite a statement about MCB's artistic maturity and distinctive attributes as it marks its 30th anniversary this year.
Justin Peck, Alexei Ratmansky, and Liam Scarlett have created pieces for both major New York ballet companies, and they are kept busy with commissions for companies around the country and all over the world. Now MCB will showcase new aspects of their talents when they perform Peck's Heatscape, Ratmansky's Symphonic Dances, and Scarlett's Viscera – all being seen for the first time in New York.
"It is exciting to have people choreograph on us," says Callie Manning, a principal soloist who was in the original cast of all three works. "It's the most important fuel for your artistic soul. You create the work with that choreographer. It's not the same as doing a role that was made for someone else."
Manning, who joined MCB in 1999, recalls her early years as a time when original choreography was rare among its programs. The company made its reputation – and built up its dancers' technical and interpretive skills – primarily by performing an extensive array of pieces by George Balanchine.
Former New York City Ballet star Edward Villella was MCB's founding artistic director, and it was natural that he turned to the ballets that shaped his career – and are widely considered the pinnacle of 20th-century ballet. When MCB's dancers were ready to take on Jewels, Balanchine's full-evening triptych, it marked an important step forward for its artistic reputation, earning them seasons at the Kennedy Center and in Europe.
Villella soon added pieces by established masters: Jerome Robbins, Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp. "We were doing all these amazing ballets, but mainly older works," Manning recalls. "There was a stretch when financially we couldn't afford to get new, commissioned works from choreographers."
As Manning suggests, commissioning new ballets is very expensive – and also risky. An artistic director hopes for a work that will have staying power in the repertory, but there are no guarantees, even when the ballet is by an acknowledged master. And MCB, like most not-for-profit arts organizations, has had to weather some major financial storms during its three-decade history, despite its success cultivating a ballet audience in an area where some had doubts the art form could thrive.
But lately, it's been full speed ahead when it comes to original work. Manning has been thrilled by the diverse new challenges. "I feel like they each have their own technique, their own style, that is so specific," she says. "We've never performed all three of these at the same time. Rehearsing them now for New York is really challenging, because we're all going between these different techniques."
Liam Scarlett's Viscera (2012) was the British choreographer's introduction to this country. He was just in his mid-20s, dancing as well as choreographing for the Royal Ballet, when Villella saw one of his works in London and commissioned him on the spot; Scarlett made a second work for MCB a year later, and his American career quickly took off.
"None of us had really heard of him," says Manning. "Initially, there was a little bit of skepticism. But the way in which he conducts a studio is very respectful. He's extremely knowledgeable and works so hard. Within five minutes I think we all respected him.
"The movement in his ballet is so explosive from your center that you feel you could knock yourself off your leg in two seconds and be on the floor. For me, technically, that piece was the hardest to get through."
Meanwhile, Ratmansky, a prolific Russian choreographer and the Artist in Residence at American Ballet Theatre, brings a distinct narrative sensibility to his work. Discussing Symphonic Dances, Manning says, "Ratmansky's ballet has a hint of a story, but it's really open to interpretation."
Justin Peck is another of today's youthful choreographic stars, whose robustly inventive works have been enlivening New York City Ballet's repertory. He's worked in Miami several times, and he has gotten to know the dancers well.

"Justin uses a lot of weight-shifting and athletic movement," Manning says. "He really has his own voice and a very clear sense of movement. [It's] very challenging, especially for females in pointe shoes." Asked about Heatscape, which Peck choreographed last year, she says, "His piece is the most fun of the three. He was really inspired by the company and how we're a big family. We all support and get along with each other, and he wanted to choreograph something that reflected the energy of the company. So there is a lot of connection between each other on stage."
MCB's most recent New York season was in early 2009, at City Center, when they impressed the city's ballet audiences with their dynamic and authoritative performances of five Balanchine masterworks, as well as Tharp's demanding In the Upper Room. This time around, however, it's not just the repertory focus that is different. The company has been through its first leadership transition. Lourdes Lopez, who danced for 23 years with NYCB, succeeded Villella as MCB's artistic director in 2012.
That means Lopez is bringing her dancers onto the stage where she herself performed for years – and where premieres were regular occurrences. That's just another way that the Miami dancers will be showing New Yorkers that they are not only tied to ballet history, but also making distinctive contributions to its present.

Lupus, or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is estimated to be experienced in various forms by 1.5 million people in the US about 3.5 million people elsewhere in the world. Far more common in women than men and the condition more commonly affects African Americans and Asians. It is an autoimmune condition where the body is triggered by poorly understood mechanisms to attack its own healthy body tissue. The disease can affect the physical organs and brain, as well as the skin and joints.
For some lupus symptoms will come and go with varying rates of intensity and duration. The most common areas are the hands, wrists and fingers as well as the knees. Along with the tissue inflammation there are a host of other symptoms which will vary from person to person but may include fatigue, fever, mouth sores, hair loss and then functional and/or psychological brain issues, physical organ issues, and more. One symptom, a skin rash most often over the cheeks and nose, the "butterfly rash", appears in about 50% of patients with lupus.
Many patients with autoimmune conditions such as lupus, MS, rheumatoid, fibromyalgia, and more come to Chinese Medicine practitioners for help. And while these conditions can be difficult to treat, the diagnostic tools within Chinese Medicine are often able to treat the root imbalances inherent with these conditions rather than chasing after various symptoms which generally does not work well.
From a Chinese Medicine perspective, as with all conditions, proper treatment requires proper diagnosis in Chinese Medicine terms. Due to this there are no hard and fast rules with these systemic autoimmune conditions. Our lupus treatment page contains some of the possible underlying TCM diagnoses involved with lupus. Proper treatment would potentially include all facets of Chinese Medicine - acupuncture, herbal medicine, medical qi gong, tuina medical massage and more. In general terms, Chinese Medicine offers much to patients who suffer with autoimmune conditions.
Bai Hua She She Cao - a very important herb in Chinese Medicine from the clear heat and resolve toxicity category, used to clear heat from infections and/or inflammatory processes in the body.
Zi Cao - from the cool the blood category, used to clear skin rashes as well as for constipation.
Ban Zhi Lian - also in the clear heat and resolve toxicity category has similar functions as bai hua she she cao.
Sheng Di Huang - also in the cool the blood category, used similarly to zi cao with more beneficial effects on the yin.
Dan Shen - in the invigorate the blood category, used to break apart pain and stagnation particularly in the chest and abdomen (menstrual cramps, abdominal pain, chest pain). Also uses with irritability and/or anxiety form heat in Chinese Medicine terms.
This particular formula comes from the work of Professor Ye a kidney disease specialist in China. It along with appropriate per patient adjustements has been used with good results clinically around the world, but the functions of how it may help are poorly understood outside of Chinese Medicine theory and understood herbal dynamics. This study, then, with the ability to deeply analyze tissue in the rat model is an important step in deepening our understanding of the mechanisms through which this formula helps lupus.
Inhibits the destructive effects of the immune system by decreasing the expression of CD134 in T lymphocytes and CD134L in B lymphocytes - CD134 is found raised in lupus patient ( 1 ).
Interferes with immune signaling molecules (CD 4, CD 8, CD 19, CD 23, CD 40) which would aid the proper functioning of the immune system. These markers are involved and often in disarry in lupus patients ( 2 ).
Down regulates RANTES levels which reduce autoantibody formation. Rantes levels are often raised in lupus patients and with kidney damage ( 3 ).
Reduced lymphocytes markers in the spleen and thymus and alleviate renal-impairment.
Decrease the c-reactive protein (sign of tissue damage) and anti-dsDNA autoantibody levels (raised in 70-98% of patients with lupus) ( 4 ).
In laymens terms the formula appears to alter the majority of the known markers involved with the inflammatory and organ function issues found in lupus patients.
While proper treatment requires properly tailored approaches to each patient, the deeper exploration of this herbal formula provided by this study gives us some insight to both the internal changes from the herbs that comprise Lang Chuang Fang but also the internal functions involved in decreasing the symptoms of lupus.

The above profound thought is the soul of the movie Vascodigama, a movie by debutant director Madhuchandra. Vasu aka Vascodigama, is a Kannada lecturer in a college founded by an idealist. Once a famous college is now reduced to a sham thanks not only to incompetent & immoral teachers like Vasu but also to the Principal who himself patronizes gambling ! Vasu is the mentor darling of the backbenchers and helps them routinely get over obstacles like attendance shortages using crooked means. Enter Shanthi (Parvathy Nair) an upright teacher who is devoted & respects her profession unlike her new colleagues. Its love at first sight for our hero in the middle of an anti-devadas workshop ! Shortly after successfully wooing her aided by several staged instances set up by his gang of sidekick students begins the serious portions of the movie resulting in his rebuke.
Around the same time the bluff of the principal is called by the founder who lands unannounced. Seeing the dismal state of affairs & the deep rot he decides to close down the college. Will he really do so ? Will Vasu prove his worth & win back his love ? What are the takeaways from the movie for students & teachers ? The answers to all these lie in the second half of the movie.
Madhuchandra has done an excellent job in lacing a serious message based movie with comedy & commercial elements while screenplay could have been tighter & better. Poornachandra Tejaswi has scored catchy numbers while DOP Karm Chawla fails to impress. Supporting cast led by Suchendra Prasad, Sundar, Ashwin Vijay Kumar among others have done very well in making even some routine scenes enjoyable.Parvathy Nair is well utilized while Kishore proves his mettle yet again & adds another jewel to his crown shifting gears as a comedian,drunkard,mentor,taskmaster with ease. Its a movie which surely deserves a watch while its message needs to be assimilated by the policy makers & syllabus tweakers!
