The Loop command is a very flexible, powerful method of handling any type of repeating structure. It can iterate through Arrays, or repeat a set number of times, or even just repeat indefinitely until told to quit. In each case, the data between the opening Loop command and the corresponding EndLoop command that closes it is repeated as many times as is appropriate.
There are five commands that belong to the Loop family - Loop, EndLoop, Break, Continue, and SetLoop. Each Loop command has to have a corresponding EndLoop command, and the other commands should appear between them, if and when required.
The Loop, Break, Continue, and SetLoop commands consist of the command followed by an expression. The EndLoop command does not use an expression, and so will ignore any expression given. Break, Continue, and SetLoop expect the expression to evaluate to an integer Number, and the Loop expression can take various different forms depending on the desired behaviour.
The magic Constant __CurrentLoop__ can be used to access the current iteration number.
The first, simplest syntax repeats indefinitely, until the structure is exited using a Break command.
The next syntax allows an Array to be iterated through, in a very simple manner. Generally this is an easy way to loop through an Array structure that consists of a main Array containing several sub-Arrays of data, such as results from a database. The current Array key can be accessed through the __CurrentLoop__ magic constant if necessary, or else the Double-dot shortcut Operator can be used.
The example above demonstrates a common use of the Double-dot Operator, combined with a straightforward and simple Loop syntax. However, using __CurrentLoop__ is not always appropriate.
In this example, the intention would probably be to loop through 5, 6, 7. However, the Array created by the Range Operator contains these numbers as item values, and the item keys are 0, 1, 2.
The remaining three syntaxes allow an Array to be iterated through in the same manner as the last method, but allow the current value and/or key of the Array to be assigned to a specified Variable. This can be used to simply save using the __CurrentLoop__ magic constant, or it can be used to directly manipulate the Array contents.
Loop structures can be nested indefinitely within other Loop structures, and within other command structures.
The Break command allows Loop execution to be cut short and quit at any point. If an expression is supplied, it is expected to be numeric, and determines how many nested loops are to be broken out of (1 by default).
The Continue command cuts execution of the current loop short, skips the remainder of the loop, and starts the next one. If an expression is supplied, it is expected to be numeric, and determines how many nested loops are to be continued (1 by default).
The SetLoop command sets the value of the current loop, as given by the __CurrentLoop__ magic constant. It is most useful within a loop of indefinite repetition, as any of the other Loop constructs will overwrite the value again every time a fresh loop is started.
In any form of the Loop construct, the current loop identifier (generally a Number, but possibly a String if looping through an Array) can be accessed by using the magic constant __CurrentLoop__, or in some situations, the Double-dot Operator, which is its shortcut.
However, that only works for the innermost Loop in a nested situation. In this case, the complementary magic constant __CurrentLoops__ can be used. __CurrentLoops__ is an Array containing all of the current loop identifiers of the nested structure, with the outermost loop as index 0.

Miniseries about Madam C.J. Walker Leaves Out Philanthropic Legacy

The Netflix series "Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker" brings to life part of a fascinating rags-to-riches tale I've been researching for the past 10 years.
Walker, widely documented to have been America's first self-made female millionaire, made her fortune building an Indianapolis-based beauty products company that served black women across the U.S. and overseas. Today it offers a product line through Sephora.
Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer stars in the miniseries about the African American entrepreneur originally named Sarah Breedlove. Born shortly after emancipation in 1867 on a cotton plantation in Louisiana to a formerly enslaved family, she later adapted the initials and last name of her third husband – played by Blair Underwood in the series. The show imagines Walker's struggles and successes in a dramatic reinterpretation of the historical record.
I've been studying Walker's archival collections for my upcoming book "Madam C.J. Walker's Gospel of Giving: Black Women's Philanthropy during Jim Crow" and speaking about her to audiences around the country for years. I screened the series with great anticipation of how her lifelong generosity and activism would be portrayed in this account that "Indianapolis Monthly" described as having "fictional characters, invented moments, and a few surreal sequences."
Her philanthropic legacy didn't make the cut – aside from a few visual footnotes just before final credits roll. Those footnotes touch on her charitable giving to black colleges, social services and activism with the NAACP.
While viewers will enjoy the series, I want them to learn that Walker didn't just live a life of hard-won opulence. She exemplified black women's generosity. Her philanthropy and activism imbued every aspect of her daily life. "I am not and never have been 'close-fisted,' for all who know me will tell you that I am a liberal hearted woman," Walker told the audience of the 1913 National Negro League Business meeting sponsored by prominent black leader Booker T. Washington.
Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer stars as Madam C.J. Walker in the Netflix miniseries 'Self Made.'
More than money
Walker distinguished herself on a philanthropic landscape dominated by white people. Men like John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie turned to large-scale philanthropy after spending their lives accumulating wealth. In contrast, Walker's giving began in earnest when she was a poor, young, widowed mother struggling in St. Louis. She gave along the way from what she had, rather than waiting.

She had much in common with other black churchwomen, club women, educators and activists. Like Mary McLeod Bethune, Nannie Helen Burroughs and Ida B. Wells-Barnett – and tens of thousands of other working and middle class black women – Walker embodied a versatile generosity that sought to meet communal needs and topple widespread discrimination.
Walker was a highly prized donor in the black community. Constantly solicited, she gave money to black-serving organizations across the Midwest and the South.
The Netflix miniseries briefly references her gifts to social services. She supported organizations like Flanner House in Indianapolis, which helped African Americans get jobs, an education and childcare. She made sure that poor families could eat at Christmastime.
The "Indianapolis Freeman," a black newspaper, reported in 1915 how her company's office resembled a grocery store due to all the gift baskets that were filled with food. In 1918, she gave US$500 to support the National Association of Colored Women's campaign to purchase and preserve Cedar Hill, home of abolitionist Frederick Douglass, which still stands today in Washington, D.C.
Walker lacked formal education but she was a lifelong learner who donated thousands of dollars to the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and other black schools.
She also patronized the arts, supporting Indianapolis painters such as William Edouard Scott and John Wesley Hardrick, whom she wanted to help gain national stature as an artist.

Time and talent
In addition, Walker belonged to important networks of women that were advancing the cause of freedom from the Jim Crow era's racism and sexism.

She helped the poor through the Mite Missionary Society of St. Paul's African Methodist Episcopal Church in St. Louis. She supported the National Association of Colored Women, which provided educational and social services to black communities around the country, and advocated for changing public policies.
Walker also expressed her generosity by using her voice to speak out against the injustices of Jim Crow discrimination and oppression. She drew attention to sick and injured black soldiers during World War I by visiting and entertaining them at military camps in the Midwest. To black and white audiences, she spoke out publicly about black soldiers' patriotic sacrifice overseas for freedoms denied them at home, and her full expectation that such freedoms be granted upon their return.
At her first national convention of her sales agents held in Philadelphia, she and her agents collectively raised their voices through a telegram against lynching sent to President Woodrow Wilson. She wanted the government to make lynching a federal crime.
Walker also advocated for temperance, women's suffrage, female empowerment and civil rights. She secured a pardon for a black man jailed for an alleged murder in Mississippi. And she shared her own encouraging story of success with audiences around the country as an affirmative testimony of the value and dignity of black life amid pervasive hateful and hurtful Jim Crow stereotypes.
'Netflix and engage'
I hope that many viewers who see "Self-made" and feel inspired by Walker's story consider a new way to binge on TV: "Netflix and Engage."

The main symptoms of BIA-ALCL are persistent swelling or pain in the vicinity of the breast implant.
Breast implant surgery is the No. 1 cosmetic surgical procedure in the U.S. with more than 300,000 breast augmentations performed nationwide last year alone, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. But there is growing concern that breast implants can cause a rare type of cancer.
In 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first cautioned the public about the risk of cancer for individuals with breast implants. Five years later, as more reports surfaced, the World Health Organization designated breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL, as a T-cell lymphoma in people with breast implants.
BIA-ALCL is not breast cancer but a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that develops sometime after a woman has had breast implant surgery. The disease is usually found in the scar tissue and fluid near the implant, and can spread throughout the body.
In March, the FDA updated the public that it had collected and evaluated additional information about ALCL in individuals with breast implants and had strengthened its understanding of the disease. At the time, the FDA also reported that it had received a total of 414 reports of ALCL in people with breast implants as of Sept. 30, 2017, including nine patient deaths.
Significant limitations in worldwide reporting and a lack of global breast implant sales data has made it difficult for the FDA to determine how many women have developed the disease or the absolute risk a breast implant-user faces. What the data does suggest is that the disease occurs most frequently in people who were implanted with textured-surface breast implants rather than smooth-surface implants. Recent publications have estimated the risk of developing BIA-ALCL in those with textured implants at between 1 in 3,819 and 1 in 30,000.
Of the 414 cases reported, 234 involved implants that were filled with silicone gel, 179 were filled with saline, and one did not specify implant fill type.
Half of the reported cases were diagnosed within seven to eight years of implantation. But, the reports did not indicate whether patients had their original breast implants or if they had one or more replacements.
Individuals with breast implants do not need to change their routine medical care and follow-up. Swelling and pain should be expected immediately after surgery. But patients should contact their doctors if they experience new symptoms or notice changes in the way their breast looks or feels after recovery from surgery. The main symptoms of BIA-ALCL are persistent swelling or pain in the vicinity of the breast implant. This can occur well after the incision has healed, often years after implantation surgery. Some patients reported a lump under the skin or capsular contracture (thick and noticeable scar capsule around the implant).
BIA-ALCL is a frightening diagnosis, and people who have undergone breast augmentation deserve to be told by implant manufacturers of the risks associated with the devices. If you or someone you care about has breast implants and been diagnosed with ALCL, consider contacting a Beasley Allen lawyer for a no-cost, no-obligation consultation.

The Next Hot Ingredient in Cocktails: Cannabis
In which we coin the phrase "cannabitters"
Alcohol has been my drug of choice since my very first White Russian. From guilty pleasure drinks to perfectly crisp martinis, something about the ritual of making and sipping a cocktail had me sold early on.
I never gave marijuana much love, and even in college, I always chose watery beer over those fat, clumsy joints. But now that bartenders across the country are experimenting with weed-spiked cocktails, I'm paying attention—as should you. The "Julia Child of Weed" has already been anointed, and I believe it's only a matter of time before we discover the "Charles H. Baker of Marijuana."
As a growing number of states take steps to legalize and decriminalize marijuana, bartenders and bud-tenders are coming together, much the way chefs have begun experimenting with high-end, gourmet edibles spiked with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the potent part of the herb). Mixologists are trying out two kinds of potables: cocktails spiked with THC (where legal), and cocktails designed to mimic the actual green, skunky flavors of marijuana.
Compared to edibles, for which oil- or butter-based extractions are favored, tinctures (herbal essences that are extracted by alcohol) are the preferred vehicle for drinks. Bartenders use Everclear or a different high-proof alcohol to draw THC from the plant, a process similar to that used to make bitters. The most popular seems to involve grinding and then baking the bud at a low temperature (a process called "decarboxylation") before steeping it in alcohol for a stretch that can range from hours to days. The liquid is then strained and stored, often in a container with an eyedropper or dasher attachment. (I'm coining the term "cannabitters" here and now.)
A standard infusion of liquor is an alternative: You merely soak a bunch of weed in a bottle. Those who have experience with making edibles and potables warn that this can create an overly potent drink; tinctures can be used with more precision. If hard alcohol isn't your thing, there's always gentler infused wine such as Mary Jane Wines or a soon-to-come offering from singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge. There's also weed-spiked beer. (After all, hops and cannabis are related.)
Where Is It Legal?
Don't go running to the nearest bar to order a cannabis cocktail just yet. Even in states where recreational marijuana is legal (Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington), public consumption is usually prohibited, which precludes weed-y gatherings in bars or restaurants. Cutting-edge experimentation takes place at private events and in the smoky underground.
The gold standard for high-end cannabis cocktails may have been set in 2012, at Roberta's in Brooklyn. The restaurant's underground weed dinner included THC-infused riffs on the Gin Sour (gin, lemon, sugar, egg whites, and grapefruit bitters, plus a tincture made with gin, Earl Grey tea leaves, and a "grapefruit-y" strain of indica cannabis) and the California Painkiller (rum, fresh-squeezed orange juice, pineapple, and marijuana-infused coconut oil, topped with grated nutmeg; see recipe below).
These aren't just drinks with weed dumped in; these are thoughtful cocktails composed to emphasize (or, where it made more sense, deemphasize) the flavors and aromas of the specific strains of marijuana used.
"I remember thinking, this opens a new door into cocktails," recalls Mike Stankovich, who created the drinks for the event and is now bar manager at Brooklyn's Alameda. "No one ever talks about it, but you go out to drink cocktails to feel something, whether you call it relaxing or loosening up. In terms of recreational benefits, you're opening the window a little bit more." Stankovich doesn't serve the cocktails now, but he liked the Painkiller drink so much that he offers a faux version at Alameda, made with shiso instead of cannibis.
Of course, not everyone is a fan of the idea of mixing alcohol and marijuana. Adding a weed tincture to a high-octane drink such as an Old Fashioned is "not the most responsible way to consume either alcohol or cannabis," insists Jane West, owner of Edible Events, a cannabis events production company based in Denver, Colo.
Scott E. Lukas, Ph.D., a professor of psychiatry (pharmacology) at Harvard Medical School, agrees, and he has done considerable research about the combined effects of alcohol and marijuana to back his opinion.
"People are not good at recognizing when the effects of the two drugs are combined," he notes. "They'll slow you down, impair your decision-making, and alcohol tends to make you take more risks." Lukas is particularly concerned about people who might try to drive after sipping a THC-infused libation. His research has shown that THC can impair perceptions of time and distance as long as 24 hours after consumption, even if the "acute" high has long faded.
A further concern: Binge drinkers might not notice the protective reflex to purge due to overindulgence, since THC can help combat nausea and vomiting. (This is one reason it is often prescribed to cancer patients). "People do die from drinking too much alcohol," Lukas adds.
That said, highballs (such as a gin and tonic, or a Jack and ginger) could be an ideal delivery mechanism for conveying cannabis tinctures, says West: a little bit of alcohol, a lot of mixer, and just enough THC-tinged tincture to catch a buzz. Noted.
"I think there will be an entirely different way to consume intoxicating beverages in 10 years," West muses. In other words, imagine a world in which "intoxicate" has a completely different meaning, incorporating the effects of THC, with or without booze. "I think alcohol companies will get wind of this and create low alcohol [THC-infused] products that taste like a whiskey or bourbon."
The Future Market
It may be time to place bets on who will capitalize first and best on the nascent and potentially lucrative marijuana boom. After all, the U.S. market for legal cannabis grew 74 percent in 2014, to $2.7 billion, up from $1.5 billion in 2013, according to ArcView Group, a cannabis industry investment and research firm based in Oakland, Calif. This makes it one of the fastest-growing industries in the U.S. Already there are rumblings that reality TV star and Skinnygirl booze entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel is getting into the branded marijuana game. Might liquor conglomerates be close behind?
Stankovich thinks so: "Flash forward 30 years from now. You're going to have Stoli Weed."
It might not yet be on Stolichnaya's radar, but a smaller company, Chicago-based Earth Mama, has already launched a "marijuana-inspired" vodka infused with "herbs and botanicals." They sent a bottle my way so I could conduct an experiment: comparing a flight of martinis made with vodka, dry vermouth, and bitters. (Yes, I know a proper martini is made with gin; stay with me.) The goal of this project was to see how the drinks compared in terms of taste and aroma, as well as overall experience.
Here's how the results stacked up:
Martini #1: vodka, dry vermouth, and orange bitters
Tastes like: Drinking a martini–crisp, clean, and bracing, with a pleasant whiff of orange from the bitters.
Feels like: Drinking a martini. And I'm ready for the next round!
Martini #2: Earth Mama "marijuana-inspired" vodka, dry vermouth, and orange bitters
Tastes like: Drinking a martini, but laced with hints of cedar and dried oregano.
Feels like: Drinking a martini. Although I wish this one had gin.
Martini #3: vodka and dry vermouth, plus "cannabitters," aka a tincture made with THC and orange peel
Tastes like: A poorly made martini. The tincture throws the drink off balance, so I mostly taste bitterness from the orange peel. At least, I think it's from the orange peel. If I was served this martini at a bar, I'd order a shot of bourbon instead.
Feels like: Nap time.
As cocktail trends go, I found this one to be a bit of a snooze, literally. Keep passing that vape, but as far as I'm concerned, ice-cold gin still should be the strongest ingredient in my martini.

We have spoken with many of business owners who have had negative internet marketing stories to tell. Many businesses have grown to be disillusioned with internet marketing and believe that it is impossible for there website to get at #1 on google for there niche related keywords that will bring them traffic. Typically due to past negative experiences, they express concern about spending tens and thousands of dollars with another Calgart SEO company and never seeing any results. Their website may not even be near the first page of Google's search results. Sometimes they end up getting a couple of social media profiles, or Webpages that exist somewhere out in the depths of the net, never ever to be seen or visited by a single prospective client.
Plenty of business owners that pay for SEO have completely no concept what they are investing in as the search engine optimization company they caused to produce stated "se optimization services" either doesn't tell them precisely what they will do in order to have them more clients and does not provide any reports to exhibit the progress of the internet site being worked on.
You see, most SEO companies tend to follow spammy and outdated tactics that do not work anymore and may also harm your website.
You want to inform you that most SEO agencies are too slow when updating their business practices, and are behind the changing times in the techniques that they feature for internet marketing services, and specifically, search engine optimization. There were 2 major changes in how Google's search engine determines how exactly to rank websites among 2012 and 2014. Google named these updates "Penguin" and "Panda", and making use of their latest algorithm updates and over 156 different updates to there algorithm in 2016 alone. This has ended up causing an important hardship for the majority of Neils Harbour se optimization companies. These updates put lots of the SEO firms out of business since it absolutely was too tough to make the required changes to clients accounts and offer the proper training needed to continue operating after they'd actually been dealing with way too many untalented personnel and outsourcers.
We don't wish to see business owners in Neils Harbour have to see the pain from BAD SEO done by companies that are taking hard-earned cash and not delivering what they promise.

We feel that Search Engine Optimization and internet marketing should be effective component's of every business's marketing plan.

We're organic traffic experts !
We encourage you to read through the remaining informative data on these pages because we will disclose to you some of the very most crucial elements that you should understand prior to going ahead and hire a Neils Harbour SEO consultant. Since you have read this far down the page, you're undoubtedly interested in internet marketing and realize how important it's to have an established presence online for the company or organization. Do not make the mistake of hiring a Neils Harbour SEO company that does not have anything higher than a fancy website that assures incredible outcomes but doesn't deliver. Cause them to show you the outcomes they have obtained for there clients. Should they won't show you then what do they have to hide?
This might seem like a basic question, but the truth is that lots of business owners have no idea just how to accurately target their customers in a way that can help them to obtain found online. You need to understand what it really is your clients are searching for. This will sound really basic for your requirements, but with internet marketing, you need to find out what your visitors are searching for and be the one they find first if they do a search on Google or other search engines to find what they are looking for?
There is an enormous distinction between targeting broad and specific search terms. Ensuring you rank for the terms that are generating targeted leads that clients are willing to take action and purchase or Call, and are simply looking for the very best company or business to provide them the service that they require.
Google supplies these records for no cost what-so-ever. Any individual can go to the Google Keyword Planner and see precisely what individuals are typing into the Google se each month. In the event that you understand how to utilize this tool appropriately, you can discover search terms (keywords) that could not be as popular each month. However, it will target potential clients that have money and are prepared to create a purchase. If you'll have your website appear on the first Google's internet search engine results page for these "money keywords" you will certainly have a massive return on investment for your online marketing endeavors. Now there is obviously a distinction between knowing what folks are looking for and being the main one they find to fix there problems for them. That's where Wildfire involves the rescue and helps tackle the task of having your company found on Google and other search engines for the targeted keywords that will take money into your bank account.
Let's say that you're a lawyer in Neils Harbour, Nova Scotia. You most likely thought that you wish to rank for the definition of "Neils Harbour lawyer. I'm sure seems logical, right? If you're on the very first page of Google's search results for that term, you undoubtedly genuinely believe that brings you business. However, since that search phrase is indeed broad, individuals searching might be looking for a divorce lawyer or possibly a personal injury lawyer… and so on. If you practice criminal law, then you are likely to have to invest a fortune and put months of work into ranking for a term that's so competitive and roughly only 20% of the prospective clients coming to your site will discover content strongly related what they were looking for.
Alright, so let's focus your keyword down to "criminal defense lawyer in Neils Harbour.This is a preferred keyword and will likely deliver you a lot more customers, however your competitors is still quite high and somewhat broad.
Lets enter the head of one's clients for a moment… Why would those clients need a criminal defense lawyer? Perhaps they are coping with a domestic violence charge. They could search "domestic violence defense lawyer" directly into Google's search engine. (This search phrase does get around 10 searches per month according to Google's keyword planner tool) If your website has a web site optimized for that specific search phrase, they're likely going to discover you and presumably hire you if you have excellent information on your own website.
That example is what we refer to as "low hanging fruit" browsing engine marketing for local companies. They're somewhat simple to rank for, but is so explicit that the individuals who search online for these terms will discover you and select your company as a result of fact that people are confident in what they discover on the web. If you own a small business where the normal client, just like the instance above, may be worth a thousand dollars, or EVEN MORE, specifically in the event that you give you a service where you can balance a customer's annual value predicated on return on investment, then landing these clients online like this just makes great sense. Plus, this is often really exciting!
Therefore, when you are likely starting to comprehend, marketing your business on the web with aid from a Neils Harbour SEO consultant will help your company grow quickly.

Generally, the Agency's extramural research and demonstration activities, such as evaluations, demonstration implementation, and research studies, are funded through contracts. CMS awards grants and cooperative agreements under certain specific, focused programs, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic research organizations and earmarks mandated by Congress.
In addition, CMS periodically issues special-purpose grant announcements inviting applications to participate in specific Medicare and Medicaid demonstration projects.
In recent years there has been a sharp reduction in research grants, with most awards stemming from a specific CMS solicitation or Congressional appropriation request. Unsolicited proposals are unlikely to be funded.
Because most extramural research funding uses the CMS contracts mechanism rather than the grants process, those interested in conducting research on behalf of CMS might want to look at the contracts section of the CMS website in the Related Links Inside CMS below, or directly at the Fed Biz Opps announcements link in the Related Links Outside CMS below.

Climate change: Part 2. Unable to escape hurricane Irma
WHATS IN THIS BLOG:
• Ducking under the eye of hurricane Irma.
• A terrifying night crouching in a bathroom.
• Avoiding looters and robbers.
• The islanders on St Maarten have lost everything.
• Things are not okay, and the oceans are angry.
Just to clarify: this group of three blogs (Part 3 still to come) will center on Science and Energy. The next series will be on Inspiration and Hope. This blog is a long one, but I know it will add value to your perspective.
THIS BLOG IS A STORY ABOUT A FRIEND OF MINE, CALLED BETSY, who was crouching in the bathroom of a hotel in St Maarten, an island in the Caribbean, when the eye of hurricane Irma came right though there. The fear of breaking windows, and later the looting, and the escape from the island make a gripping story.
This story follows Climate Change Part 1, which describes how hurricanes and the huge number of forest fires in the US are linked to climate change. Click here to read that blog.
The following story, written by Jolene Krueger, is taken from the Albuquerque Journal on 19 September 2017. Thank you Betsy for sharing your story.

ANNIVERSARY GETAWAY ENDS WITH ESCAPE FROM A PARADISE LOST.
After it was over, after Hurricane Irma had left nothing undamaged, after everything – communication, power, food, safety – was obliterated by the force of 200 mph-plus winds, a miracle of sorts happened.
Back in their seventh-floor hotel room in what had been the luxurious Villas at the Simpson Bay Resort on the small Caribbean island of St. Maarten, Santa Fe residents Betsy Siwula-Brandt and her husband, Wolfgang Brandt, snagged enough of an intermittent cellphone signal to send out a short message.
"We made it through," the text read. "We're OK."
In those early hours after an Irma direct hit on September 6, their phone seemed the only way for them and others to get word out to the rest of the world about their survival.
The island – the Dutch-ruled side known as St. Maarten, where the Brandts had stayed, and the French side, known as St. Martin – had been in the direct path of Irma, THE EYE PASSING OVERHEAD WHILE SHE WAS AT CATEGORY 5 STRENGTH, HER FIERCEST.
An estimated 95 percent of the island was devastated. And what Irma hadn't taken away, the looters had.
"It was terrifying and heartbreaking," said Siwula-Brandt, a geophysicist who endured the wrath of Irma on what was supposed to be a romantic 18-year wedding anniversary getaway. "We love St. Maarten, but it's hard to imagine how it will recover from this."
Siwula-Brandt, back now in the comforts of her New Mexico home, shared her story in a riveting blog, and with me in the hopes of raising awareness to the dire needs of a paradise lost. But she also spoke out as a warning. "The oceans are angry," she said. "We have not been good stewards. We have trashed the oceans. They are living organisms – as was Irma – and they are not done. They are fighting back."
As if to prove that point, Hurricane Jose had threatened to hit St. Maarten days after Irma, then veered farther north. As this story was being written, out in the Caribbean Sea a hurricane dubbed Maria was quickly strengthening from a Category 1 storm to a Category 5 behemoth, making it one of the more rapidly intensifying storms in recent memory.
That night, Maria appeared to be following the same path as Irma had, though later it, too, veered slightly away from St. Maarten, still pelting it with heavy rains and winds.
"It seems like these storms keep coming," she said. "You can feel how disheartening it is there. It's kind of like you're just waiting to die."
Siwula-Brandt said she and her husband have traveled often to these island paradises – three times to St. Maarten – to pursue their passion for snorkeling. This latest trip had been meticulously planned for months by her husband and was supposed to last for three weeks.
But as they awaited their flight September 1, word came that Irma, then a tropical storm, might cause them some problems. "I had a really bad feeling in my gut," she said. "It kept saying, don't get on that plane. But I thought, well, maybe it will skirt past us. Maybe it will be chaotic for a day or so and then we'd have the rest of the three weeks."
By the time they arrived in St. Maarten, Irma had become a badass and was headed their way.
THERE WERE NO FLIGHTS OFF THE ISLAND. THEY WERE STUCK.
For the next four days, they stocked up on water and food. They also pensively took in the surreal beauty of the blue skies and clear waters off the island.
"It truly was the calm before the storm," she said.
IRMA HIT AROUND MIDNIGHT SEPTEMBER 6, loudly roiling and ravaging the island for about three hours, shattering glass, splintering wood and sending cars, boats and corrugated siding flying.
The Brandts ensconced themselves in a bathroom as the building shook and swayed. Windows shattered, and doors came unhinged. When the eye passed over and the winds died down, they were evacuated to a small windowless conference room on the third floor to wait out the rest of the hurricane.

At dawn, they emerged to a place they no longer recognized. Siwula-Brandt describes it in her blog:
"The resort looked nuclear. The trees looked like matchsticks. No water and no power. It looked worse than any movie I had ever seen. And the looting had already begun – yes, this was Irma-geddon."
HOTEL GUESTS WERE ROBBED AT GUNPOINT. Inmates who had escaped from jail when the winds splayed open their cells hauled away flat-screen televisions and bags of jewelry.
Dutch troops arrived two days later – two days too late to stop the looting.
"It was absolutely stunning to us that when there is no law and order how quickly everything becomes chaos, how quickly crime takes over," she said, "how quickly it all falls to pieces."
The Brandts were among those rescued September 9, flown aboard a U.S. Air Force cargo plane to Puerto Rico, which is now in the path of Hurricane Maria. It took four more days for the Brandts to make it back to Santa Fe. Siwula-Brandt spent those first hours home writing about the experience in her blog.
SHE THINKS ABOUT THOSE LEFT BEHIND IN THE AFTERMATH, an estimated 70,000 people who call St. Maarten/St. Martin home – or did. "We get to come home to our beautiful houses, but those people are left with nothing," she said. "The cruise ships won't stop there now. There's no hope now. These people have no means to provide for their families. They did everything in their power to help us to the very last day we were there. They had tears in their eyes."

SO BETSY IS SENDING OUT ANOTHER MESSAGE: Please be generous to those who struggle to survive in paradise lost. And please become better stewards of the oceans, of the planet. Because things are not okay. Because survival is not guaranteed.
TO READ BETSY'S GRIPPING BLOG, called We Survived the Eye of Irma, click here. The part about Betsy and her husband hiding in the bathroom all night is terrifying.
The people of St. Maarten/St Martin risked their lives to help us through this disaster and are left with destroyed homes and businesses, and are now without jobs to earn a living for their families.
HOW TO HELP? One way is this crowdfunding site will donate 100% to St. Maarten Red Cross. Another active group is: Samaritans Purse.

The Gray Nomad ….. help someone to hope.
Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good.
[From book of First Timothy, chapter 6].

Karen A Larre says:
Thank you for sharing about this very emotional issue, Ian.
Ian Palmer says:
Appreciate your encouragement Karen.
Julian Pfitzner says:
Thanks Ian. We hear about the hurricanes in the news but we are a long way away in Australia. It is sobering to hear from someone who has experienced a hurricane. We send our prayers to the people of the Caribbean who have suffered so much and will send tangible support as well. Perhaps these hurricanes will be a wake up call to those who doubt the science of climate change.
I was in New Orleans for a conference once. A hurricane was coming and the conference was canceled. The planes were full, and no rental cars available, and I was stuck in a hotel in the heart of the city. What scared me most was a curfew announced for 6 pm. I walked around at 5 pm. Boats were tying up along the river — safer than anywhere else. I walked down Bourbon street, and there were no people….. it was a weird feeling. I placed a mattress against the windows of my hotel room, so I wouldn't get hit by flying glass. I put blanket and pillow in the tub in case I had to spend the nite in there. Slept fitfully in the bed. The hurricane diverted at the last moment, and missed the city center.
Don Minton says:
Climate change is real. Many of us have known and accepted this fact for a long time now. Fact is we will all come to accept it in the future, even though some may be to proud to admit they were wrong.
The criminal looting on the island has a parallel; we have looted and abused the earth, and just as the victims on the islands were angry, even so the Earth is now angry. I think that reference in the blog was fitting, an angry planet. Much is to be done, but who will do it, where is the will-power? Thanks Ian for this reminder. We need to be reminded not to drive our car more than needed, not to heat and cool our homes more than needed, not to build larger home than we need, small things become large when we all participate. Also we refuse to pursue a sensible forest management strategy, which means harvesting timber, but doing it properly, no clear-cutting. If we thin the forest they don't burn at the intensity to consume all the timber. Forest fires are, as mentioned in the blog, giant polluters. Even though we need them, some times conservationist get it wrong too.
Good thought Don on being conservative in regard to our cars and homes. Conserving energy via lights and heat is a good thing too. Your sensitivity to forest fires and forest management comes from living in Idaho and close to a lot of those recent fires.
Vic Pfitzner says:
Old forest is carbon neutral if we do not log them and make room for growth. Vic
Climate change is certainly real I have never experienced two years the same. I have solar panels. I use evaporation cooling and I heat my house by bringing hot air into the house from out of the ceiling. I am not concerned about pollution I do it to save money.
My heart aches for those residents who had to stay behind and now have nothing. Puerto Ricans @ least have the backing of the U.S. even though their island is demolished and real help has been slow to respond w/trucks and supplies still @ port. Anyone who thinks climate change is a hoax made up by the opposing political party is simply out of touch!
A dramatic story of the hardship of weather events, I have never forgotten the time when we were victims of a violent storm. It happened in the summer of 1934. I had turned four just two months previously. The roof was ripped from our house by the severe wind Trees were broken off and the rain water came pouring in on top of us. We had hessian ceilings with a good layer of dust on them so the water was turned to mud and soaked all the bedding and the clothes as well hanging in the curtained cupboards. A dramatic experience, but what connection that storm had to carbon dioxide I have never been able to understand. Fortunately I have never been in the path of one of those since.

Specsavers in Kingston is delighted to announce the promotion of Natalie Jones to hearcare partner at the business.
The news comes as Natalie celebrates another special milestone this month, which marks her 20th anniversary working at the Kingston store.
Natalie began her long-standing career in 1998, when she applied to become a receptionist at Specsavers Kingston while she was finishing her A-Levels. She said: 'At the time I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do career-wise and really wanted to travel.
Natalie was soon promoted to store supervisor and then clinical manager at the business. It was then that she discovered her passion for hearing aid technology and, with funding from her store directors, she was able to study a degree in hearing aid dispensing at De Montfort University. She passed her course in 2015 and became hearcare business manager at Specsavers Kingston shortly after.
In her new role as hearcare partner, Natalie says she is aiming to provide the same high standard of professional care and service she has offered to Kingston residents for the past two decades.
'I find my job very rewarding. Being able to help improve a patient's hearing and make a difference to their lives is very fulfilling. Now, as a hearcare partner, I am excited to be part of the business that can help influence and drive customer service excellence by ensuring we always strive to exceed their expectations with professionalism and dedication.


"The ACCC is seeking clarity from the High Court on how to assess anti-competitive purpose, an important issue raised by this case," ACCC Commissioner Sarah Court said.
The Full Court found that Pfizer took advantage of its substantial market power. However, the Full Court did not accept the ACCC's argument that Pfizer had engaged in conduct for the proscribed purpose of deterring or preventing competitors from engaging in competitive conduct or for the purpose of substantially lessening competition.
"This case raises important issues about when a company with substantial market power can be found to have acted with a proscribed anti-competitive purpose," Ms Court said.
The ACCC is also seeking special leave on the issue of when a "requirements contract" will amount to exclusive dealing for the purposes of section 47 of the CCA.
Section 46 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 was amended by Parliament effective 6 November 2017. The ACCC took action against Pfizer using the pre-amendment section 46, which was contravened when a business with substantial market power took advantage of that power for a specified anti-competitive purpose.
The issue raised in this appeal relating to a proscribed anti-competitive purpose remains relevant after the amendments to section 46.
The ACCC first instituted proceedings against Pfizer in February 2014.
The ACCC also alleged Pfizer's conduct was exclusive dealing with the purpose of substantially lessening competition in the market for atorvastatin.


I'm so excited to share this fun holiday photoshoot today that my blog bestie Cara from Caralina Style and I worked together on a a couple weeks ago! The beautiful tree that we're standing in front of is found in Charlotte's SouthPark neighborhood, in the middle of a nice cluster of restaurants and businesses called Piedmont Row. I took some blog photos in this same spot last year as well for the holidays, but I definitely love how this year's turned out even more! Shooting at this spot with a blogger bestie definitely made it more fun. :-) Cara and I actually first met almost two years ago, but since she moved to Charlotte this past summer we have been able to have so much fun together, and work on some very cool blog things like this.
Both of these looks that Cara and I are wearing here would be perfect outfits for an office party, special holiday event in your city such as a trip to see the ballet or a Christmas concert, or any other sort of holiday event! Holiday style is so much fun to put together, and yet can only be worn for such a short time of the year. So why not make the most of it while you can?! I still can't believe that my dress is under $20 (heads up- it does run a little small).
I'll be sharing some more photos of my outfit and details on that later this week week. Also coming up on the blog soon: a special gift guide for all of the preppy-loving ladies in your life, and a recap of some of the fun holiday blog events that I attended last week!
I just love your dresses you look so lovely <3 Great holiday photos!
I love both of your outfits! These photos are so fun and festive.
So cute! Love the lip color especially!
You both look so festive and adorable, such a fun shoot idea!
You two almost look like sisters! This shoot is so festive and adorable!
You two are so cute!! Love how festive these photos are and your dress is adorable!! Can't wait to see your full post on it.
AW these pics are too cute! I love your red bow heels!
Y'all are absolutely adorable! I love the outfits!
These pictures are so cute, Annaliese! I love both your and Cara's outfits!
That's so awesome that you have a blogger bestie. I can tell you had a great time at the photo shoot.
This is such a cute post! You two are adorable, and I love both of your outfits!!
These are just the cutest photos!! I need a blogger friend to do holiday photos with!!

After years of frantically digging around in our oversize Mary Poppins bags for keys, credit cards, and hair ties—not to mention straining our backs with all that weight—perhaps it's no surprise that the latest must-have bag silhouette is something decidedly smaller.
Sure, mini-bags might conjure an early 2000s image of The O.C.'s Marissa Cooper with a tiny hobo bag nestled in her armpit or a flashback to Regina George in all her pink-on-pink Mean Girls glory, carrying that itty-bitty logo-print Louis Vuitton. But today's crop of itty-bitty bags is more about liberation (and a pop of color). Take a look below to see how the 2000s baby-bag has been reimagined for today's sophisticated woman.
And guess what? You already own it!
These street stylers prove that fashion and fun go hand in hand.

Hebeloma sinapizans, commonly known as the rough-stalked hebeloma or the bitter poisonpie, is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae. It has a strong radish-like smell, and a prominent bulbous stem base. It is larger than the similar and more common H. crustuliniforme, a relative that is also poisonous. H. sinapizans is found in Europe and North America.

Taxonomy
First described as Hypophyllum sinapizans by Jean-Jacques Paulet in 1793, it was transferred to the genus Hebeloma by Claude Casimir Gillet in 1878. It is commonly known as the "rough-stalked Hebeloma".

Description
The fruit body has a cap that is initially convex before flattening out in age, reaching a diameter of . The cap may have a shallow umbo. The cap surface ranges from moist to sticky, and it is smooth with a margin that is first curled inward and expanding to become curled upward in maturity; the cap color is whitish-tan to cinnamon-tan, sometimes with pinkish- or reddish-brown tints. The flesh is whitish, thick, and has a radish-like odor and taste. Gills have an adnate attachment to the stipe, and they have a notch just before the point of attachment; the gill edges have tiny fringes or serrations. They are first whitish before turning to yellowish-brown to pale brown after the spores mature. The stipe measures  long by  thick, and is roughly equal in width throughout its length. Hebeloma sinapizans mushrooms are poisonous.

Fruit bodies produce a pale brown spore print. Spores are elliptical with a rough surface texture, and measure 10–14 by 6–8 µm.

Habitat and distribution
The fungus fruits on the ground in groups or fairy rings in deciduous and coniferous forests. As of December 2022, hebeloma.org lists collections from 20 countries across Europe as well as collections from Asiatic Turkey and Lebanon.

Hope for refugees in the new Malaysia?
Posted by Dennis Ignatius in China, Human rights, Malaysia, refugees
asylum seekers, China, human rights, refugees, Turkey, Uihgur
One of the great failures of the former BN regime when it came to human rights was its dismal record in honouring its moral and legal obligations towards those fleeing political, religious or ethnic persecution in their homelands. For BN, it was all about political expediency instead of respect for sacrosanct principles.
Many genuine refugees and asylum seekers were hastily handed back into the hands of their tormentors never to be heard of again. For quite a few, it resulted in long years of incarceration, torture, persecution and great anguish. That our nation was party to such terrible acts will forever be to our shame.
Among the more infamous cases were that of a Saudi blogger fleeing to New Zealand who was apprehended in Malaysia and sent back to Jeddah, several Turkish nationals living in Malaysia who were arrested in almost clandestine fashion and handed over to President Erdogan's secret police, and dozens of Uighurs who were deported to China despite being registered with the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
The Bar Council, together with other human rights groups, has consistently appealed to the government to honour its asylum obligations but to no avail.
Najib and his colleagues in UMNO were always quick to portray themselves as defenders of the Ummah and of persecuted Muslims but it was all for show. When push came to shove, they quietly acquiesced the deportation of asylum seekers to curry favour with undemocratic regimes. They worked themselves into a frenzy when Muslims were ill-treated by non-Muslims but closed their eyes to the equally appalling treatment that Muslims suffered at the hands of their own Islamic governments.
A more compassionate refugee policy
What approach will the new PH government now take on the question of refugees and asylum seekers?
Malaysian human rights defenders can only hope that our democratic renewal and our own experience with political persecution will somehow translate into a more compassionate refugee policy.
Furthermore, a number of our current ministers and members of parliament suffered political persecution and incarceration; let us hope that this issue will resonate well with them.
What is needed is a new approach that will be more welcoming of refugees irrespective of their religious, ethnic or political background. The new government is presently undertaking a much-needed review of our foreign worker policy. There are, of course, too many foreigners here who shouldn't be here. Refugees and asylum seekers, however, fall into a different category; they are not economic migrants like the vast majority of illegals but victims of oppression.
There have been long-standing calls for refugees to be given priority for temporary residence and jobs but there was never the political will to do anything about it. Perhaps the PH government, born out of our own struggle for freedom, will finally resolve to act on the issue.
Uighur asylum seekers
The first test of the new government towards refugees might come sooner than later.
At this very moment, 11 Uighur asylum seekers detained in Malaysia since early this year are facing the threat of deportation to China. The government must not accede to this request without a full and fair hearing of their circumstances.
The Uighurs, a long oppressed Muslim minority in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China, are particularly deserving of protection and compassion.
According to Human Rights Watch, "Pervasive ethnic discrimination, severe religious repression, and increasing cultural suppression justified by the government in the name of the 'fight against separatism, religious extremism, and terrorism' continue to fuel rising tensions" in Xinjiang. The Uighurs are now one of the most persecuted people groups in the world.
While Malaysia has little power to influence events in Xinjiang, we have an obligation to provide sanctuary to Uighurs fleeing persecution provided they are not involved in terrorism or crime.
Human rights a hallmark
There are a lot of things that need to be set right in the new Malaysia. Our refugee policy, or the lack of it, is one of them. Hopefully, our new foreign minister will make this one of his priorities.
He might even want to consider setting up a human rights and refugee advisory council with representation from human rights groups and the Bar Council to help the ministry develop a coherent approach on this important issue.
Surely, one of the lessons we can learn from the dark decades of BN rule is the value of respect for human rights. Malaysia must now work with other like-minded countries to promote and advance the cause of human rights across the globe. Let that be one of the hallmarks of the foreign policy of the new Malaysia.

I drive by this place on my way to work on a daily basis. I used to really enjoy the Ice Park (when it first opened) and would love to know when Central Park Athletics opens to the public? I've tried contacting them through their website, but no response. Anyone know if they'll have indoor soccer? Thanks!

The Alt-Right May Be Stupid, But They're Also Dangerous
By Donovan Farley | September 1, 2016 | 2:25pm
Photo by Matt Mills McKnight/Getty Politics Features Alt Right
The Southern Poverty Law Center defines the alt-right as "a set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals whose core belief is that 'white identity' is under attack by multicultural forces using 'political correctness' and 'social justice' to undermine white people and 'their' civilization."
I define them as clueless, dangerous assholes.
In a sense, the alt-right are the most extreme members of an already extreme Trump support base. Consider for a moment that the movement shares a lot of its ethos and rhetoric—things like "white genocide" —with charming people like Anders Behring Breivik, the far-right terrorist that killed 77 people in Norway in 2011.
The alt-right movement also enjoys support from the unabashedly racist National Policy Institute, a group who amazingly thinks the GOP isn't white enough and that the Grand Ole Party should double down (or triple, or quadruple down) on its already extremely white platform. The alt-right movement also finds many kindred spirits among Neo Nazi-centric sites like DailyStormer and StormFront, which have seen a large increase in traffic since Trump's rise to political prominence—presumably because many of his supporters just found out about the internet and how to turn on the magic picture boxes known as computers.
And then there is Milo Yiannopoulos, a hateful clown of a man who seems to think being racist, misogynistic and anti-semitic is OK because he enjoys sex with men. (A gay Republican?! Banned from Twitter? Wow! How edgy! How modern!) It's very telling that in Yiannopoulos' March profile of the alt-right, the very first thing he does is state that the faction are definitely not skinheads. If your organization has to begin a mission statement by declaring that you are definitively not skinheads, perhaps your ethos needs tweaking. (Also, the alt-right movement is 100% something skinheads support.)
For all their talk of America and her lost greatness, what the alt-right seems to desire is to completely destroy American democracy and replace it with something far more fascist, or just straight up feudalism. Now there's a fresh idea—feudalism! Serfs up, Milo!
At least the faction's more articulate members are able to express what it is they want; the dateless, meme-making internet troll foot soldiers seem to be only concerned with the unfairness of their lot in life as poor, discriminated against white people in America (it has truly been a struggle for us white folk). These honorable citizens yearn for a return to a simpler time, one in which women knew their role as cleaning robots with built-in pleasure orifices, we put troublesome races in internment camps and those troublesome black people weren't allowed to drink from the same water fountains as whites. You know—the good ole days! People like Yiannopoulos have also claimed that the alt-right just wants to "burn the whole thing (the political system) down," but if that's the case, why the hateful bigotry and sexism? It sounds to my ears as if they'd enjoy burning some crosses down along with the political system.
It's easy (and tempting) to reduce these people to sad, angry possessors of tiny IQs that are simply afraid of the changing world—and it's growing racial, sexual and gender equality—around them. But when one of the alt-right's heroes, Stephen K. Bannon, the chairman of Breitbart News, becomes the campaign manager of a presidential candidates' run to the White House, it's clear that the movement is making real headway.
For all its giggling at hateful memes and use of the ignorant and stupid to gain power for its more prominent members—the alt-right is perhaps best represented by the curious tale of Jewish writer Joshua Seidel. Seidel penned an op-ed for Foward.com recently in which he passionately and moronically defended the alt-right's principles and beliefs by saying that, "I enjoy the nasty talk in the alt-right. I enjoy spending rhetorical time with people who might otherwise hate me. The alt-right has energy, it has vitality, it's something NEW and creative, it's honest and forthright."
I am really, really glad Josh digs the "nasty talk" of the alt-right, because soon after his article was published, his alt-right brethren swooped into the comments section with a barrage of truly nasty sentiments. One congratulatory commenter and fellow proud alt-right member "creatively" told Seidel, "Since you're versed in the alt-right I assume you're going to put yourself in the oven?" while another let him know that "this time the Shoah will be real"—because, you see, the holocaust didn't actually occur the first time. "Alt-right is explicitly white and jews are NOT white. You´re not welcome," one of Seidel's brothers-in-arms informed him, while another of his fellow honorable revolutionaries—this one helms a website with the charming title The Daily Shoah—blessed him with the knowledge that, "You are not part of the Alt-Right. You are not wanted. You are not welcome. If you'd like to help the Alt-Right, live out your days in Israel, convince as many of your people to go with you, and stay out of The West's affairs." There were many hundreds of these before Forward shut down the comments section.
No, Mr. Yiannopoulos, these are definitively not skinheads.
As with most people who don't have a used Bonnaroo Port-A-Potty for a soul, I find watching confused pundits like Yiannopoulos and Seidel embarrass themselves by inexplicably siding with people who hate them to be enjoyable—until one is reminded how much steam this movement has gained. As pathetic and laughable as this movement may be to many of us—on both the left and right—it's important that our laughter is tempered with the knowledge that the Trump campaign has emboldened many of these people to emerge proudly from their sad little holes, spewing their vitriol with acidic glee without fear of public reprisal. That sort of blatant hatred is not something to be laughed at—it's something to be defeated.
