Post laminectomy syndrome, or failed back surgery syndrome, is described as a condition occurring in patients who have not had a successful result with back surgery or spine surgery. Spine surgery is only able to accomplish two things, decompression of a pinched nerve root or stabilization of a painful joint. Unfortunately, back surgery may not be always able to eliminate a patient's pain completely. Some of the reasons that pain can persist after a back surgery include preoperative nerve damage that does not heal after a decompressive surgery. Also, nerve damage can occur as a result of a surgery causing residual pain.
After a history and physical exam with your physician and reviewing MRIs or other imaging studies, there are treatment options available for this condition. Generally, treatment is focused on conservative measures first. These can include rehabilitation and some conservative pain management techniques, like epidural steroid injections. Other techniques include exercise, manual therapy, spinal cord stimulation, and/or an implanted pump to deliver pain medication. Talk to your healthcare provider about the different treatment options available to you if you suffer from post-surgical back pain.

Maine Groups Press for BPA Ban After Chemical Found in Baby and Toddler Food
Maine Environmental News, Safer Products & Chemicals, State House Watch, Sustainability, Toxic Free Living
Posted on February 14, 2012 by NRCM

MPBN news story
Since January, baby bottles, sippy cups and reusable food containers in Maine have been free of the chemical hardening agent Bisphenol-A. Now, environmental health activists want the state to eliminate BPA from infant formula, baby and toddler foods. The move comes after tests conducted by The Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine and Mainely Moms and Dads also found BPA in those products.
In mid-January, volunteers with The Alliance for a Clean and Healthy Maine went grocery shopping. They bought a dozen jars of baby food from major brands, like Gerber, Beech-Nut, Earth's Best Organic, and Wild Harvest. They also selected cans of Chef Boyardee mac 'n cheese and Campbells Chicken Soup and Spaghettios.
Then they shipped everything off to an independent lab that conducts tests for the food and nutrition industry. Mike Belliveau, the executive director of the Environmental Health Strategy Center, says when the tests came back, "We found BPA in 11 out of the 12 baby food jar lids and all of the canned food," he says. "And the results are both reliable and shocking."
They found BPA had leached into the baby food itself, at one to three parts per billion. The canned food had a range up to 134 parts per billion. BPA is a hormone disruptor that has been linked to cancer, learning disabilities and obesity. But just how harmful are those amounts?
"When you say one part per billion, three parts per billion – this is troublesome. Yes. We're seeing effects at those levels," says Gail Prins, a professor of physiology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She's been studying BPA for 10 years, and her focus is on the prostate.
"We would suggest that what you're exposed to early in life can affect whether you're going to get prostate cancer, or be more likely to develop prostate cancer when you're older."
Prins says her colleagues who study breast cancer have drawn similar conclusions about BPA. She says even brief exposure at the developmental stage–just a couple of days–can increase a person's sensitivity to these cancers. And she says BPA is widespread –it's found in food containers, store receipts, even in dust.
That's why Michael Belliveau of the Environmental Health Strategy Center wants the state to expand the BPA ban. But first, he says Maine needs to enforce its current law, which required baby food companies to report the use of BPA in their jars last October.
Two brands, Beech-Nut and Wild Harvest, did not submit a report, and their products are still on Maine store shelves, "even though they're in violation of Maine law," Belliveau says. "And that's not right. And we're calling on the state to take swift action to bring those companies into compliance with the law."
But Samantha DePoy-Warren, the spokesperson for the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, says implementing Maine's law is a process that takes time. "The way the regulation is written is that companies are innocent until proven otherwise," she says.
DePoy-Warren says if a company doesn't submit a report, the assumption is they're BPA-free. The DEP doesn't take action until they receive information that shows otherwise. She says once The Environmental Health Strategy Center showed them the research results, the department began drafting letters to Beech-Nut and Wild Harvest.
DePoy-Warren says the DEP is committed to upholding the regulations on the books, but the first step is to bring companies into compliance. She says it can be challenging to meet regulations that vary state by state.
And because of the strain that puts on businesses, Ben Gilman of the Maine State Chamber of Commerce says Maine should hold off on further BPA regulations. "As soon as the ink is dry on the good work we did this last legislative session, they're already pushing Maine, really, to go further than anywhere else in the country," Gilman says.
Environmental health activists say there's no time to wait. They're gathering signatures to petition the Board of Environmental Protection to extend the ban on BPA into all food containers over the next three years–first baby food, then toddler food, and finally all canned food.

My stubble came very early at the age of fifteen when I was in tenth standard. This was also the trend in my family everyone had stubble by the age of fifteen. My classmates in my school started to call me 'Buddha' I always felt irritated. They used to say 'Teri itni jaldi daadi bhi aa gayi'. The girl whom I liked also said to me that 'Your stubble looks bad'. I used to ask her to come along with me to the canteen and she always said 'No'.
One day I told my Dad that I am going to get my stubble trimmed and he replied 'Aur Jaldi aa jayegi agar trim karvayi toh' and I dropped the plan of getting it trimmed. Then a year passed and I went to the eleventh class. Now, I had to do something about my stubble. I went to the Saloon and told the barber to trim my Stubble. When I went home my Dad scolded me but I was happy because I got rid of my early stubble.
The next day when I asked the girl whom I liked in the school to come along with me she said 'Yes'. I think 'My clean Shaven look bowled her over'.

The first mosque of Islam was the house of the Islamic prophet Mohammed in Medina. When it was first built by prophets Muhammad and his companions, it was made of simple blocks. However, as time passes and different Muslim empires and rolers were honored to role Medina, the mosque has been subjected to different constructions. The last one of them is that done by the Saudi different kings. The current construction is the prototype of all later sacred architecture of Islam. The current design of the mosque pays great attention to all details. Apparently and most importantly, the floor and carpet that are touched in prayer with the head.[1] There are different regional styles of architecture in Saudi Arabia, and they are divided into different styles. In the Najd region, most buildings are made of mud-brick covered by mud-plaster. In the Hijaz region, most buildings are made of coral rag and wood, with roofs made of palm thatch and wooden beams. There are many Ottoman influences on the architecture in this region.[2]
In the Al-Hufud regions, the houses are usually two or three stories and they surround a central courtyard.[2]
In the Asir region, many houses are made of rough-cut stone, and other houses are made of a stone and mud combination.[2]
Visual arts[edit]
See also: Rock Art in the Ha'il Region
Tribal symbols referred to as "wusum" were carved by Bedouins during prehistoric times and are found as rock art in the hills and deserts of Arabia. During the years 1985–1990l there was a rock art and epigraphic survey of Saudi Arabia. During this time, over 1000 rock art sites were recorded. In the earlier stages of rock art, there were large human and animal faces, and in the later stages the human and animals faces were smaller.[3]
Decoration art[edit]
Main article: Al-Qatt Al-Asiri
The art of decoration is a fundamental element of identity in the region of Asir. Al-Qatt Al-Asiri, an inscribed artwork on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is an ancient art form popular in Asir region where the white interior walls of homes painted with various patterns of symbols and geometric shapes.[4]
Art Movement[edit]
The Art Movement in Saudi Arabia started in the mid 60's by a group of School Art Teachers and lasted till mid 80's.
In 1972, Mohammed Said Farsi became the mayor of the coastal city of Jeddah, making the city one of the largest open-air art galleries in the world.
Portable art forms[edit]
There are many portable art forms in Saudi Arabia. For example, there is metalware, jewelry, pottery and leatherwork. Even today, many Bedouin women weave, and they make brightly colored striped rugs, camel trapping and tents. The tents are black and are made of goat-hair, mixed with sheep's wool and camel-hair.[2]
Art Exhibitions[edit]
A number of art exhibitions are organized in Saudi Arabia.
International Art Exhibition[edit]
In April 2019, an international art exhibition was organized in Jeddah at the Abdullah Al-Qasabi Gallery of the Saudi Fine Art Center. The exhibition displayed art work from Saudi Arabia as well as seven other countries.[5]
"Landscapes of the Soul"[edit]
An exhibition was held at the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra) to display Forty pieces by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. Munch's displayed pieces reflect on his personal life experiences of misery, love, despair, loneliness and reflections of the soul.[6] The exhibition displayed lithograph versions of Munch's famous paintings including, "The Scream", "Summer Night. The Voice", "Self-Portrait" and "The Sick Child".[6]
Bait Al-Hodaif[edit]
It is a small art museum and a non-profit art organization based in Jeddah. It is made up of 14 rooms that display art pieces from the 1910s to the 1980s. It aims at promoting the culture of art in Saudi Arabia by holding many events and exhibitions.[7]
Shara Art Fair[edit]
Shara Art Fair is an art exhibition organized by the Saudi Art Council. It is specialized in showcasing a collection of artistic paintings and pieces from different areas and fields. The fair aims at marketing new artists and selling their products as well as supporting emerging artists.[8]
Canvash Studio[edit]
Canvash is an art studio and exhibition established by the Saudi Artist, Maysa bint Ahmed Al-Ruwaished. The studio, that located in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia, aims to reflect the culture of the Saudi society. Moreover, the studio holds a number of workshops to educate Saudi young artists and spread the culture of art appreciation.[9]

WHILE parliament is intensely probing the alleged syphoning of US$15 billion in diamond revenues, the person who first spoke about it in public, former president Robert Mugabe, says the figure has no factual basis as it was just an urban legend — an untrue story.
In February 2016, Mugabe publicly said the country had lost gems worth US$15 billion through leakages at the Chiadzwa diamond fields, while Treasury received less than US$2 billion in revenue.
"We have not received much from the diamond industry at all. I don't think we have exceeded US$2 billion, yet we think more than US$15 billion has been earned," Mugabe said during his 92nd birthday with the state–run Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation.
The remarks of the lost US$15 billion caused public uproar, with citizens demanding that the matter be investigated, while industry players argued that the country could not have lost US$15 billion in revenues, a figure equal to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Mugabe in 2016 also pointed out that those he had appointed "to be the eyes and ears" of government supervising operations in Chiadzwa had failed in their task.
After Mugabe's remarks government ordered a forensic audit of the seven diamond companies, although the probe has stalled.
Of late, parliament has been investigating people and companies involved in diamond mining as it seeks to establish whether it was true that US$15 billion was siphoned.
Parliament has suggested it is going to call Mugabe for questioning.
So far the Themba Mliswa-led Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mines and Energy, has questioned the Zimbabwe Republic Police, Mbada Diamonds, former Mines ministry officials, including current Home Affairs minister Obert Mpofu, former Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) boss, Happyton Bonyongwe.
While the military had shares shares in Anjin, they have not been summoned to respond to questions in parliament. Anjin has also not yet been summoned.
It is understood that Anjin did not contribute much to fiscus, while its books remained unaudited.
According to chartered accountant Daniel Ngwira, the belief by many that the country could have lost US$15 billion is mainly due to the lack of transparency around the diamond sector not facts.
Ngwira said indeed a lot of money leaked in revenues, but it is impossible that it reached US$15 billion.
"Contextually, what is US$15 billion worth? It is three times the size of the country's bank deposits. In the diamond sector, it means the entire annual global output. This amount is worth roughly the world diamond output of around 130 million carats," Ngwira said.

Nearly three years after Christian schools from Tampa and Jacksonville squared off in a high-school football championship, a federal appeals court is poised to hear arguments about the constitutionality of a decision that prevented the schools from offering a prayer over the stadium loudspeaker before kickoff.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments next Wednesday in a case filed by Tampa's Cambridge Christian School against the Florida High School Athletic Association.
A federal judge last year upheld a decision by the association to prevent a prayer over the loudspeaker at Orlando's Camping World Stadium before a December 2015 championship game between Cambridge Christian and Jacksonville's University Christian School. Cambridge Christian appealed, arguing the decision violated First Amendment rights.
The Atlanta-based appeals court agreed early this year to hear oral arguments in the case. The arguments will take place at the federal courthouse in Jacksonville.
After the association denied the use of the loudspeaker, players from the teams prayed on the field before the game. But in its brief, Cambridge Christian said supporters of the schools were not able to participate without the use of the public-address system.
"By prohibiting Cambridge Christian from leading its students and their families and fans in a brief communal prayer, the FHSAA engaged in unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination in violation of the Free Speech and Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, which prohibits state actors, like the FHSAA, from basing a decision to allow or disallow the use of state-controlled facilities for private speech based on the viewpoint expressed by the intended private speaker and prohibits such actors from imposing restrictions on private religious speech that are greater than the restrictions imposed on private secular speech," Cambridge Christian's brief said.
But attorneys for the association disputed such arguments.
"HEAR *** DUH JUDJE ! ! !.... To screw up even MORE of our American culture & history ! ! ! ! !
In a free and open society that is suppose to embrace diversity, it seems that we have many restrictions and fears that keep us from expressing that diversity publicly. Think about it!

Pope meets with oil CEOs attending Vatican Dialogue Summit (Vatican Media)
Pope on climate crisis: Time is running out, decisive action needed
Pope Francis on Friday meets with participants attending a summit entitled, "The Vatican Dialogues: The Energy Transition and Care for our Common Home". In comments to the group, he warns that today's ecological crisis, especially climate change, "threatens the very future of the human family" and asks oil CEOs for a "radical energy transition".
By Lydia O'Kane
Addressing those attending the summit, which included multinational oil companies, the Pope spoke on an issue very close to his heart: The Care for our Common Home.
Pope Francis told those gathered that this second year of Dialogue in the Vatican was taking place at a "critical moment."
Today's ecological crisis, especially climate change, he said, "threatens the very future of the human family".
The Pontiff noted that a significant development in this past year was the release of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which warns that effects on climate will be catastrophic if the threshold of 1.5ºC outlined in the Paris Agreement goal is crossed. "The Report warns, moreover, that only one decade or so remains in order to achieve this confinement of global warming."
Faced with a climate emergency, the Pope underlined, "we must take action accordingly, in order to avoid perpetrating a brutal act of injustice towards the poor and future generations."
In effect, he went on to say, "it is the poor who suffer the worst impacts of the climate crisis."
What was required, stressed Pope Francis, was courage in responding to "the increasingly desperate cries of the earth and its poor".
Points of discussion
During his address, the Pope focused on the three points that were being discussed during the meeting, which are, a just transition; carbon pricing; and transparency in reporting climate risk.
Pope Francis remarked that a just transition to cleaner energy, which is called for in the Preamble to the Paris Agreement, can if managed well, generate new jobs, reduce inequality and improve the quality of life for those affected by climate change.
On the issue of carbon pricing, the Pope said, this was "essential if humanity is to use the resources of creation wisely."
Speaking on the third point, transparency in reporting climate risk, Pope Francis commented that, "open, transparent, science-based and standardized reporting is in the common interests of all."
In conclusion, the Pope warned that "time is running out!"
Deliberations, he emphasized, "must go beyond mere exploration of what can be done, and concentrate on what needs to be done."
In our meeting last year, Pope Francis said, "I expressed the concern that 'civilization requires energy, but energy use must not destroy civilization'. Today a radical energy transition is needed to save our common home."
He continued by saying that, "the climate crisis requires 'our decisive action, here and now' and the Church is fully committed to playing her part."
However, the Pope did strike a note of optimism, "there is still hope and there remains time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change", he said, "provided there is prompt and resolute action…"
The summit was organised by the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development.

Зухогоргон () — род синапсид из подотряда горгонопсов, живших во времена из верхнепермской эпохи (северодвинский век, ( назад) на территории современной Вологодской области (Россия). В род включают единственный вид Suchogorgon golubevi. Оба таксона описаны Л. П. Татариновым в 2000 году.

Животное средних размеров, с узким и относительно низким черепом. Длина черепа до 25 см. Клыки уплощённые, с режущим кантом, заклыковых зубов 5—6 пар. Кости черепа (максиллы и покровные кости между орбитами) скульптированы мелкими овальными ямками. Существует предположение, что в межорбитальной области находились какие-то сенсорные органы (электрорецепторы?), помогавшие в охоте на водную добычу. Тем не менее, там могли быть кожные железы. Водный образ жизни для этого горгонопса обосновывают наличием большого скопления его остатков в местонахождении Устье Стрельны (6 черепов и частичных скелетов).

Зухогоргон мог напоминать по образу жизни крокодилов. Название «зухогоргон» можно перевести как «крокодил-горгонопс» либо как «сухонский горгонопс» (по названию сухонской свиты верхней перми). Его ближайшим родичем считается завроктон — вполне наземный, судя по строению скелета, горгонопс. Зухогоргон входит в состав Ильинского субкомплекса верхнетатарского времени верхней перми.

The name James M. Cain never registered on my radar, although I was already familiar with some of his work: "The Postman Always Rings Twice" and what is often considered the epitome of film noir, "Double Indemnity". Upon opening this I expected more of the same, but was surprised to see a greater variety and depth the Cain's writing and fiction plots/genres. Several days after finishing this and I wish I had more of his work at hand to read, both the original stories that birthed those classic noir films and his other less known output.
This particular collection is an excellent primer on the scope of Cain's writing, being split into three sections of form: dialogues, short stories, and one serial novella. Each section is preceded by an introduction to Cain's use of the form, and a general introduction opens the entire collection. These introductory essays are skimmable if you are really just interested in the meat of the fiction, but they are useful in grounding you in why Cain wrote each style of fiction, the merits he viewed in each, and how they were received by critics and fans.
Throughout all the forms Cain has two clear strengths. First is creating a clear, compelling conflict or plot, regardless if large-scale like a crime in a film noir, or a simple, brief confrontation in a doorway. Second is his strength in writing dialogue and regional dialects, particularly of working class people. This shines most obviously in the brief dialogues that open this collection, but even within the short stories they dominate, stretching a bit longer, and broken up from time to time with narration describing the setting or actions. Yet, even these narrations, rendered in the first person, are strongly reminiscent of spoken word, a dialogue between the working class narrator, and the reader, who can easily imagine themselves as an unnamed character in the story, listening to a yarn in a diner over a coffee, or bar over beer.
In these dialogues and short stories the genre of crime or transgression appears from time to time, but many also do not approach anything as grandiose, focusing instead on small aspects of human emotion or psychology in a pure manner. These are Cain's most literary moments, and the ones (based on the introductions) that he was most proud in writing. What is interesting is that Cain did not set out to write honest, emotional dialogue-laden fiction per se. That is simply the only writing he was able to create that appeared authentic and sincere. He had to become the character and 'act', writing as if he were not Cain at all, but an imagined personality, role-playing. The result is stories and dialogues that don't come across as fictions necessarily, but honest, imperfect recollections, most wonderfully perhaps in the story that gives the collection its name.
The collection ends with a serial novella, a style that Cain did not have any artistic appreciation for, but simply used to pay the bills, much like a serious actor doing some light, mindless blockbuster. But Cain can't help inject some artistry into the serial, shaping a genre that would translate into the film noir and eventually the French new wave. His serials turned out immensely popular, both with general readers and critics. The serial included was made once into a film that wasn't particularly successful, which I haven't seen, but it does lack the spice and sordidness of "The Postman Always Rings Twice" or the precision and tautness of "Double Indemnity". Nonetheless it is a nice conclusion to the collection, bringing it round to the style of story Cain became most noted for popularly.
Although I am interested in reading more of Cain's work, I appreciated the length this collection kept. By the end of the dialogues and starting the still dialogue-laden short stories, that style was beginning to wear on me, much as Cain found it did when trying to use it to such a degree in his novels. By making this a mixture of styles but allowing none to overstay their welcome, this collection found a great pace. The publisher is releasing a lot of Cain's old work in ebook format, so once I obtain an actual reader I'll be checking out some more titles that pique interest.

Baumholder Adjusting to new brand of football
Baumholder | October 11, 2018
BAUMHOLDER, Germany -- The Baumholder Bucs' football rebuilding project had been proceeding more or less as designed.
After posting a winless divisional record in 2016, the Bucs rebounded for a very respectable 4-2 overall record in 2017. If that forward momentum continued, 2018 held the promise of a playoff berth and a return to steady, sustainable contention.
But the fall of 2018 has offered anything but stability.
Roster attrition in a variety of forms has reduced the Bucs' talent pool to a critical level.
One recent practice, albeit well before the Aug. 27 start of the school year, saw less than 10 active athletes running drills on the well-worn practice field adjacent to the high school.
Aside from the usual losses to graduation and relocation, Baumholder head coach Phillip Loyd said several potential Bucs simply weren't interested in pulling on the pads.
"Guys just decide this isn't what they want to do," Loyd said. "We've still got to put out a product."
That product will be much different than in years past. Baumholder won't have a roster sufficient to compete again at the Division II level. Instead, the Bucs are slated to join fellow small schools AFNORTH, Ansbach, Brussels and Hohenfels in a fledgling Division III league playing six-man football, a drastic change from the traditional 11-man version.
Six-man football features a quarterback teamed with five potential receivers, meaning every player on the field must be a threat to make plays in open space.
"The fundamentals are the same. The emphasis on some of the fundamentals changes," Loyd said, contrasting the expansive six-man game with the "compression" of the 11-man variety. "We're trying to work on skills because everyone's eligible. So now you have to develop some real serious skills among all of your players."
Senior Jeremiah Christopher, an all-conference lineman on last year's 11-man squad, is among the players facing the biggest adjustment this fall.
"It's actually been more work," Christopher said. "Less people, less breaks. We're all doing running drills."
So far, even as the team spends the fall rushing to grasp the nuances of six-man football before the games go live, Baumholder's enthusiasm remains intact.
"Even though we don't have the numbers, we're still trying to establish that Baumholder plays a good brand of football," Loyd said.
That remains the goal in Baumholder, whatever version of football the Bucs are playing.

Misophonia: When Everyday Noises Ruin Your Life
Charles Bethea
From New Republic
Sufferers with misophonia can't bear to hear people chewing food or cracking knuckles. Here's what it's like to live with this frustrating disorder.
Claire Benoist for Reader's Digest
Lunch at the Marriott hotel in Mesa, Arizona, was a southwestern buffet of overcooked chicken and soggy enchiladas. I'd recently met a friendly man with a shaved head and a pale oblong face named Paul Tabachneck, so we sat down together at a table to eat. Tabachneck ate carefully, eyes trained on his plate or a spot on the beige walls. But his conversation was lively—he talked about busking as a guitarist in the New York subway while trying to achieve a dream of being a professional musician. After about ten minutes, I scraped my knife against my plate while cutting my chicken. Tabachneck whipped his head around to look at me, his eyes suddenly cold.
"Did you have to do that?" he snapped. "And did you know that your jaw pops when you eat?"
We're all annoyed by annoying sounds: fingernails on chalkboards, car alarms, Fran Drescher's nasal tones. But for some people, particular sounds send them into an unbearable frenzy. There's the Atlanta journalist who wanted to reach across the table to strangle his loudly chewing father; the Arizona computer scientist who hated the sound of knives so much that his girlfriend developed a phobia too; the Oregon housewife who moved her family members out of her home so she wouldn't have to listen to them. Psychologists call them misophones—people with an acute reaction to specific, usually low-volume sounds. But because the condition is poorly understood, they struggle to convince others that their problem isn't a form of neuroticism. In this hotel, where one of the first scientific conferences on misophonia was being held, the afflicted finally met others of their kind and shared their tales of aural agony. You just had to be very, very careful with your cutlery.
When Tabachneck was 14, he and his father were watching a movie at home in Pittsburgh. His dad started pushing his ice cream into a puddle, clinking his spoon against the bowl.
Up to that point, Tabachneck's relationship with sound was normal. He loved music and enjoyed hearing people laugh; he found sirens somewhat grating. But this clinking was different—it provoked a combination of anxiety and nearly physical agitation. It was the beginning of a lifetime of noise-related misery.
Tabachneck went to college to study computer science but dropped out because the clicking in the computer labs made him so tense. He took a job in customer service and found he had a knack for it. But some colleagues made him crazy. One man spat chewing tobacco, another talked with his mouth full, and a third brought in an old keyboard because he liked the sound of the keys.
Tabachneck's personal relationships also suffered. He loved one girlfriend enough to consider marrying her but had to eat in a separate room to avoid hearing her chew. A later romance ended because the woman smacked her gum. He's now dating someone who occasionally cracks her joints. "Most people can't be in a relationship with a misophone," he says, "because they don't want to feel guilty for eating cereal in a porcelain bowl."
After hearing problems were ruled out—Tabachneck's only abnormality was perfect pitch—his issues were thought to be psychological. Over the years, doctors gave him different diagnoses and medications. Nothing made sense until an audiologist told Tabachneck in 2010 that he seemed as if he had a textbook case of an emerging disorder called misophonia.
In 1997, Oregon audiologist Marsha Johnson met a girl who couldn't bear the noise her father made when he chewed his nails. Other cases trickled in, and she talked to fellow audiologists who had also observed the condition. Johnson has become an advocate for the disorder, creating an online forum and helping to organize the Arizona conference.
She and other experts view misophonia as an "old brain" problem, probably located in the part of the cortex that processes emotion. "When people hear these sounds, they react with intense emotion," she says. "It isn't a higher cognitive function where you're going, 'I don't like white chocolate lattes.' This is like a yellow-jacket sting—you slap, jump, run, and scream."
[pullquote]I sucked on a peppermint. Tabachneck yelled at me, "What are you doing? Didn't we talk about this?"[/pullquote]
It's impossible to know how many sufferers there are. Of the 4,000 misophones who post on the forum, half a dozen were at the Marriott. Among them, Tabachneck was a sort of star. His song "Misophone" had circulated, and Scott, an engineer, approached him at a break. They talked triggers.
"Burping has always bothered me," Tabachneck told him. "And my girlfriend does this thing where she cracks her neck, and you snap back like that." He imitated the maneuver.
"There's a woman here who does that," said Scott. "There's also where you hear something that sounds like somebody cracking knuckles, and all of a sudden, you're hypervigilant."
"You're looking to find who cracked their knuckles," said Tabachneck, nodding. "Always looking. It never ends."
Misophonia is not included in the DSM-5, the so-called bible of psychiatric diagnoses—it's too recently observed, for one thing. But whether misophonia is a mental disorder or not doesn't really matter for people like Tabachneck, who experience life-altering discomfort daily. At the conference, he performed "Misophone." A crowd gathered to talk to him afterward. As I took notes behind him, I absentmindedly sucked on a peppermint, the sound barely registering above the chitchat. Tabachneck wheeled around, his face shifting from warmth to disgust: "What are you doing? Didn't we talk about this?" he yelled at me.
Johnson says misophones will try anything for relief: "You could say, 'I'll hit you on the head with a guitar, and it will cure you,' and you'd have a hundred people lined up to pay you $5,000 to hit them on the head." She's testing a new approach—it uses sound- generating equipment to weaken an individual's connection between certain sounds and the autonomous nervous system—paired with cognitive therapy.
Desperate misophones often try to drown out irritating sounds with an ocean of ambient noise. Johnson mentioned sufferers who work as Zumba instructors or in bowling alleys; others use iPods, fans, fountains, YouTube channels, and headsets that play white noise, lower-frequency pink noise, and the lowest-frequency brown noise.
Following the conference, Tabachneck conducted his own experiment: He went to see a film in a theater. At a previous outing, one couple was eating popcorn so loudly, it seemed like a deliberate provocation.
This time, taking advice from one of his new misophonic buddies, Tabachneck requested a headset for the hearing impaired and found a seat in the back of the theater. With the headset's padding, the popcorn-chomping sounds were dampened, disappearing as the film filled his ears. He relaxed. "Toward the end," he says, "I actually removed the headphones to hear the audience's reaction to the last few scenes. And it was totally worth it."

When is the DVD release?
Does anyone know when will the official DVD be released? I don't know any sites where I can look for such information.
You should close your eyes to see the Truth.
Re: When is the DVD release?
I am really looking forward the DVD release too, because here in Hungary The Happening was presented only with Hungarian audio (dub). I just do not understand why?
You are lucky anyway to have a copy so early, aren't you?
I saw eysterday the german DVD version of the film, and it was just in german. There were some scenes cut, those where there should be blood.
actually im watchin it right now..and it turns out it's slightly edited for content.
Yeah, it looks like it is edited. By the way I am glad to see the movie in English at last, thanks!
2 Discs? I very much doubt that.
The typical theater-to-disc time frame is 4 or 5 months, Night's films typically being the latter. So that puts a release date around October-November.
2 Disc set will be awesome. I can't wait if they come out with it.
The movie is so short, there really isn't much of a need for it. There is probably plenty of space for enough supplemental material.
Actually that make sense. I never thought about that.
A November release would be good, right around my birthday. Unbreakable had a two disk set. Lots of special features. Maybe The Happening will also.

2023: Wike, Obi best bet for PDP presidential ticket, says Ohanaeze
Angela Mbaocha April 30, 2022 No Comments
Chidi-Ibeh led Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has described the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, and the Former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi as the best choice for the Peoples Democratic Party's Presidential ticket come 2023.
The group in a statement signed by the Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, noted that the duo have shown courage and Igbo ingenuity in governance with a proven track record of accomplishments in Rivers and Anambra States respectively.
Ohanaeze stated it has monitored the progress made by Obi and Wike and approved that their approaches to issues of the day and the dilemma facing Nigeria have sparked rays of hope for a better Nigeria.
The statement reads, "Governor Wike has labored very hard to strengthen PDP as an opposition political party and we are in support of Governors Ikpeazu and Ugwuanyi's efforts to assist the Ohanaeze's mandate of recovering Ndigbo in the South /South zone, which is highly commendable.
"It has been a herculean task to unite our kith and kin from South/South, as part of our obligation based on the Constitution of Ohanaeze, remains that all Igbo speaking States of Ohanaeze including Ikwerre in Rivers and Anioma in Delta are part of the 2023 Igbo Presidency project. Governor Wike is a match to Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, he has what it takes to defeat the former Vice President.
"Mr. Peter Obi's luminance on issues of the economy and simplicity has earned him a lofty admiration amongst Nigerians. The former Governor has what it takes to revive the economy and introduce modesty in governance, he is the toast to PDP delegates, we are pleased as he accepted the challenge of throwing his hat on the ring and we wish him the best ahead of the PDP primaries.
"Ndigbo are not happy with the way PDP has abused the principles of the zoning formula enshrined in her Constitution, this is unacceptable and it's an albatross to a successful expedition. The option of an open contest had brought suspicion that the NWC is not sincere with Ndigbo after milking the Igbo votes for 20 years, and attempts by NWC to manipulate the primaries in favor of Atiku or any other Northerner will spell doom for the party".

Charge Transfer (CT) complexes formed between dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8) as an electron donor with the σ-electron acceptor iodine (I2) in chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane solutions have been studied by different spectroscopic techniques at room temperature. The spectral studies of the complexes were determined by UV-Visible, Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) Studies on the system showed the time dependence of the absorption band of the complexes. The observed time dependence of the charge-transfer band and subsequent formation of I3¯ in solution were related to the slow transformation of the initially formed outer complex to an inner Electron Donor-Acceptor (EDA) complex, followed by fast reaction of the inner complex with iodine to form three iodide ion. Formation constants of the resulting complexes were determined by measuring the absorbance at lmax for a series of solutions with varying excess amounts donor and constant iodine concentration in solvent systems used. The reaction stoichiometry was found to be 1:1 (donor : acceptor) molar ratio for both complexation system by using photometric titration measurements. The formation constant (KCT), molar extinction coefficient (eCT), free energy change (DG0), CT-energy (ECT), were calculated by using the Benesi-Hildebrand method. Stability of the resulting complex in three solvents was also found to vary in the order of 1,2 -DCE >DCM> CHCl3.

do you remember? Do you remember me?
Bene is writing this post and I am in need to catch up with some stuff from the past.
Today I want to present you a miniature I painted up on commission a while ago.
It is the Titan Captain from Forgeworld, if I´m not wrong. I´m not really into that GW Stuff anymore, so I´m not sure. But I´m quite sure, that it was a limited miniature.
That shall it be for now. Enjoy your day!
Thank you for the praise and the information about the miniature :).
I think captain still wasn´t too wrong?


Brewing with malt extract (liquid or dry) is the starting point for most new brewers. Today many homebrewers use malt extract as the dominant base for their beer.
Editors Note: Author John Palmer and I have done a professional "How to Brew with Malt Extract" Video/DVD which shows hundreds of detailed shots of every step in the brewing process. Get it here!
Malt extract brewers produce fantastic beer. Every year, even at the national level, malt extract brewers consistently finish in the winner's circle. I hope this article helps you maximize the potential of malt extract brewing and helps you reach the winner's circle as well. As always, keep your suggestions, social bookmarks and comments coming.

I make 75 gallons of beer using a malt extract system, I buy 5 gls of the extract mix it with 70 galons of lukewarm water 1 oz. of granulated yeast and 30 lbs. of sugar; its fermented for 4 days; on the fifth day is cool by a glycol jacket outside the stainless steel tank and on the sixth day is carbonated with CO2 inside the tank.The beer is drinkable but I want the beer to be more hopier and bitter; does any one have any suggestions of how can I do that?
The manufacturer of the malt extract tells me the only thing I need is to heat up the 5 gl. bucket of malt extract with a heat bracelet for 2 hours, add water @ 80 degrees 3/4 of the way add the yeast,glycol and CO2 on the fifth day and BINGO beer on the seventh day.Any suggestions how to improve the flavor? Al.
I go against just about all advice on most of the blogs regarding hygiene.
I no longer sterilize anything.
3. When you empty your container, is it the container still sterile ……….if YES then carry on.
5. Why on earth would you want to re-sterilize a sterile container???
I simply wipe mine out with a clean chuck cloth and the same water (in my case tap water) as I'm going to brew with. I simply rinse my kegs. No soap or chemicals!
I empty my tin of extract into the wet pail, pour my brewing sugars of choice into the empty (apart from the residual extract stuck to the sides and bottom) tin and pour boiling water into it. The boiling water dissolves the sugars so you're pouring hot (not boiling) syrup into the extract. Repeat depending upon how much sugar you use. Combine the syrup and extract using a spoon.
I then use the tin to fill my six gallon container, filling the tin as fast as possible from the tap to get as much oxygen in as possible, and then pouring it into the pail – this method keeps down the froth but provides oxygen for the yeast.
At about the five gallon mark, I pour yeast into the tin, then some water and pour it into the pail. (this takes the yeast right into mix and makes my final stir easy). After the final stir, I top up to the 6 gallon mark.
With my latest (yet to be tasted) batch, I've simply poured my extract into the wet pail, added yeast and water (from the tap as previously described) but no hot water, no sugars and no stirring, to make up the 6 gallons. My logic is that I'll be bottom brewing (I like lagers) and saving time – the whole process took less than 30 mins including transferring the previously finished beer to the keg.
I should add that I'm neither a brewing buff, beer connoisseur nor a salesman. I simply like beer – especially light lagers.
I've been brewing using liquid extract kits from the supermarkets for more than 15 yrs ( 5 using bottles 10 using kegs) and produce beer which is better (imo) than you'd pay for at a bar.
The only ones I've produced which were off, were attributed to either soap or sterilizing chemicals after trying to do the right thing, spend loads of time and money, and sterilize – but probably not rinsing properly.
Yeast is quite a tough little cookie and can normally sort out and tidy up the brew process providing there are no cleaning chemicals present.
Obviously though, this applies to keg beer. If you don't use your equipment between batches and it's been lying around, you should start over with the cleaning / sterilizing.
I've found that the quicker the process, the easier it is, there's less chance of wild yeasts or other foreign bodies creeping in and ruining the batch.
Also, I threw my hydrometer away years ago. A week to brew and at least a week to clear in the keg will probably give a similar result to working with specific gravity and at the end of the day, if it's there or thereabout regarding required abv, and tastes how you want it, then why mess about. If it's not quite right due to seasonal temperature changes or simply "I couldn't bottle or keg my beer last weekend", enjoy what you have and then make the slight changes next time. You'll still have good and not so good batches anyway – using a hydrometer helps, but takes time and doesn't guarantee success.
Finally, though I've never progressed to producing my own malt and probably never will, too much time and money spent cleaning equipment and bottles, forever taking readings and fretting over the slightest thing that didn't go by the book, nearly put a premature end to my home brewing. The best thing I could have done was invest in kegs. I actually have two fridges with kegs in each which allows me to alternate my brews. After an initial, quite expensive layout, a $12.00 kit (about the cost of two or maybe three bar bought pints) and 30 minutes work provides me with about 50 pints of drinkable 3.9% beer on tap, chosen from a bigger range at the supermarket than you'd find in any bar! And I still have the option of paying a bit more, experimenting with malts and yeasts and buying top quality beer kits at a brew shop – though they'd probably be wasted on me as I tend to guzzle!
Alfredo i don't know if you still come to the site, BUT…….
I(PERSONALLY) like 1lb malt(+ 1lb) per 1 gallon water.
you could use darker malt and different grains, other sugar(s) less/different hops but this same "basic" recipe and get different TYPES of beer.
but if you want improved flavor i suggest adding hops or crushed grains or even just more malt.
I saw glycol being used in a recipe above. Is that right because it's toxic?
He is referring to glycol being used as a coolant in the cooling jacket of an advanced system. The glycol in this case is a coolant for the system that cools the vessels, and not an ingredient in the beer.
Do you know what percentage of the homebrewers/craft brewers use malt extracts to produce their beer?
A little under 50% these days.

Beat the bad weather this bank holiday weekend with Netflix.
Filmmaker Bryan Fogel sets out on a mission to learn about performance-enhancing drugs in sports. What he ends up discovering is far bigger than anyone could have even imagined. In the audacious documentary Icarus, director Bryan Fogel's bold gambit was this: to investigate doping in sports, Fogel (an amateur bike racer) would dope himself, observe the changes in his performance, and see if he could evade detection. In doing so, he was connected to a renegade Russian scientist, Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov, a pillar of his country's "anti-doping" program. Over dozens of Skype calls, urine samples, and badly administered hormone injections, Fogel and Rodchenkov grow closer despite shocking allegations that place Rodchenkov at the center of Russia's state-sponsored Olympic doping program. When the truth is more complex than imagined, and accusations of illegalities run to Russia's highest chains of command, the two realize they hold the power to reveal the biggest international sports scandal in living memory. Exemplifying the special bond between filmmaker and subject, this is a vital portrait of the sacrifice some people will make to stand up for truth. Icarus places you at the heart of an international game of cat and mouse, where a miscalculation can cost you your life.

TrueCar Picks Biggest Black Friday Car Bargains
The Car Connection
Thanksgiving's schedule includes three NFL games and one other major contact sport: Black Friday sales busting the doors earlier than ever. For diehards it's all about the deals, mashed up (sometimes literally) with the rush from conquest.
There is a way to save thousands more than even the most intense Black Friday shopper--without sacrificing civility or personal safety. TrueCar.com suggests you and your dignity sleep in, pass up the retail stores and head for new car dealers the day after Thanksgiving. However counterintuitive, it reports this single day beats every other with predicted MSRP average savings of 9.5 percent and often more.
Why so much and such a limited time frame? Don't confuse this with a typical seasonal clearance promotion. It may be a contributing factor, but there's a lot more at play. We're approaching the end of the month and the end of the year. The 2011 cars have to find homes as 2012 models arrive. Sales goals still have to be met, even as most consumers in a buying mood camp on cement to save a few hundred bucks on an off-brand television.
They could instead ride the leather seats of a 2011 Chevrolet Corvette after saving several thousand--around 18 percent--on a cash deal. Nearly 30 percent savings can be had on a 2011 Nissan Titan, too.
Several finance specials wind down at the end of the month, but not before offering zero percent financing for 60 months on a 2012 Nissan Altima or 1.9 percent for 60 months on a 2012 Toyota Sienna.
Likewise, a number of tempting lease promotions go away in a few days. A 2012 BMW 1-Series is semi-yours for three years at $349 per month, while a 2012 Hyundai Veloster goes home with you for three years at $179 per month.
TrueCar also identifies several other vehicle specials and buyer's tools on their website, with real-time updates. In any case, the potential new-car savings are more compelling than wrestling a stranger over a panini maker.

Daewoo shipyard's super-large LCO2 carrier design wins basic ABS approval
[Courtesy of DSME]
SEOUL -- A super-large liquefied carbon dioxide carrier designed by Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering has obtained basic approval from an American classification society for use in the food industry. The vessel is powered by liquefied natural gas and can install a device to capture and store carbon dioxide.
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) said the vessel approved by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) can carry 70,000 cubic meters of liquefied carbon dioxide (LCO2). It is 260 meters long and 44m wide. It would be the largest among LCO2 carriers that have obtained certification so far.
DSME said it is developing new materials for an LCO2 storage tank. "Based on our unique technology accumulated in LNG carriers and LPG carriers, we will preoccupy the LCO2 carrier market with high growth potential," an unnamed DSME official said.
South Korean shipbuilders saw climate change as a new opportunity for growth, citing a growing demand for negative emission technology to reduce greenhouse gases by capturing carbon. In March 2021, South Korea's Hyundai shipbuilding group disclosed a project to develop a vessel that can transport liquefied CO2 from power plants and steel mills to storage facilities.

Q: R.java malfunctioning I created a new xml file, and had an errant ? in it that prevented R.java from regenerating.  I tried Cleaning the Project, and Fixing the Project Properties but no luck.
Then I realized the XML was creating the R.java from recreating itself, so I deleted the XML file and the R.java was back.
Now though, I am getting an error on all the calls to R.. calls saying that :

*

*cannot be resolved or is not a field

So, for instance I have
setContentView(R.layout.detectlayout);

ERROR:  detectlayout cannot be resolved or is not a field
for all of my calls to 'R.'.  Any ideas?
I have tried all of the suggestions on SO already to no luck =/

A: Look at the 'import' section of your code. Since you deleted your original R, chances is Eclipse help you to fill in the R as com.android.R instead of com.yourproject.R
I also sometimes have problem in Eclipse Resource stuff, sometimes I found turning off and on the "auto buiild" function may help, or simply restarting Eclipse may sometimes help. It's kind of buggy under Mac OS.

A: This can happen if .R is imported. Eclipse will automatically add it sometimes when you have difficulty with with R.java

A: first don't bother deleting the R file it not going to make things better only worst lol
as you said you some times need to clean the project
when you start modifying resources its good to select the root of your project and do a alt+shift+o to reload all ressources
then f5 to refresh the tree
then clean the project
you also have to check that eclipse is set to build automatically (Project->build automatically).

!!! Don't Ask for Schematics !!!
As long as Nelson Pass / Wayne Coburn don't publish this schematics, I also won't gave it away. The difference between the X0 and the X0.2, is not so big (as NP mentioned) and therefore I don't want to compromise the commercial success of this wonderful preamplifier.
At this place I have to thank first of all Mr. S. from H+S Leiterplatten Service.
Without him I was unable at that time to produce such a big PCB.
The main part of the audio unit is a clone of the PassLabs X0 preamplifier.
All used FET's and MOSFET's are matched. The input circuit is a copy from my Aleph P. In the regulation of the audio power supply I used once again (see my Ono clone) not the 7815/7915 combination of the original design. You find in my design the, in my opinion, better regulators LM317/LM337. Most of the electrolytic capacitors are the FC types from Panasonic. The resistors in the audio path are nonmagnetic types from Dale. – unfortunately bigger types than I have expected.
What I don't like in the original design of the X0 is the direct connection of the digital and analog parts of the preamplifier. The bipolar transistors of the volume control are switched directly out of the digital system. As a result the analog and digital grounds must be connected. In my design I used an I²C bus for the communication to the control circuit of the volume control bipolar transistors. With this serial bus I have the possibility to separate the two grounds very easily. The I²C bus signals are statically when there are no changes of the volume and therefore there is also no influence of the digital signal in the audio system during a normal operation.
With the schematic you clearly see how I have realized the electrical isolation between the microcontroller and the audio electronic. With PF1 all signals of the I²C-Bus and all needed voltages attained the I/O driver board. With IC1 and IC2 the relays are swithed – here we need no isolation, the relays are doing it by nature. IC4 do the electrical isolated coupling of the I²C-Bus from the microcontroller to the audio electronic. With IC3, IC5, IC6 and IC7 the bipolar transitors of the volume control are switched. They get their voltage from the analog power supply of the X0 board. As long as nothing is switched all digital signals are staticaly and therefore there is no influence from clock signals into the analog section during normal operation. VG1 is used for an electrical and mechanical connection of the I/O board to the X0 audio board. With the jumpers JP1 and JP2 the I²C-Bus addresses are set for the left and right channel.
With IC8 I have implemented a chip to measure the inner temperature of the case. This circuit is only used on one of the two I/O Control Boards (address conflict of the I²C-Bus). I think that after a relative short time of operation the inner temperature of the Audio Unit is stable and with IC8 I can measure it during normal operation – there is an extra menue point within the software of the Control Unit.
Following you find two photos of the open audio unit. Easy to recognize are both external digital I/O boards. The internal cabling of the audio signals are made with van den Hul D101.
The phono unit is my Pass Xono clone. I have the same case in use like the once of the audio unit and therefore both units have the same view. The unregulated power supply for the phono unit is coming from the control unit.
All other informations about this part of the VV4 preamplifier you get at my Pass Xono clone side.
The μC board based on the board of my Aleph P Clone. The software is able to work with both preamplifiers and uses mostly the same code. The selection of the preamplifiers is made with jumper JP3.
I use the for me well tried Atmel AT89C51RC2 (IC1) microcontroller. All parameters from the user are stored in the I²C-Bus EEPROM IC2. The encoder signals and both (normaly not used) pushbuttons are routed trough debouncing circuits (RC low pass and inverter) to the μC. The volume encoder gives an interrupt during a falling or rising edge. A too fast change of the volume is avoid with IC9. Q2 and Q3 is used for a remote signal to switch on and off external equipment (e.g. power amplifiers).
The software has its bases at the code of the Aleph P clone. I have it revised and parts of the software, which I never used to operate the Aleph P, I have taken away. The concept of the operation had proved one's worth – particularly the interrupt controlled volume setting – and therefore I had completely taken over it.
The passive power supply consists of discrete bridge rectifiers with HFA08TB60 (Ultrafast, Soft Recovery Diode) and a combination of electrolytic capacitors and resistors. The complete capacity of both channels has about 134000μF. The power supply is certainly strong channel separated (dual mono). The ground of both channels are connected via 4.7Ω/5W resistors with earth to avoid ground loops.
Sincere Thanks to Enrico V.
You can see that the development of the software wasn't finished – the controller sits on top of a Textool socket and the two pushbuttons (yellow cabling) I used to debug the software. They are not part of the finished system.
The main parts of the Power Unit are the needed transformers for the preamplifier. You find here the complete 230V/AC wiring. Also included is a DC filter and a phase detection. This time I used a more complex 2 stage 1A line filter from Schaffner.


After spending the past few years elbow deep in compost and manure, I never imagined my balcony veggie patch would garner me a 'style' award.
Never underestimate where your garden can take you.
On Tuesday night I was awarded the Instyle Magazine's Women of Style Lifestyle award during a glittering ceremony at Carriageworks in Sydney.
It was completely unexpected since the other nominees in my category were kitchen queen Donna Hay and fitness guru Michelle Bridges!
Thank you to InStyle Magazine for recognising the grow-your-own-food movement and the important contribution it can play in helping all of us lead a more balanced lifestyle.
