As I'm about to turn 32 this question keeps coming up in my mind. How to balance good anti-aging strategy with a healthy natural lifestyle which would include sun exposure and natural Vitamin D production?
Dermatologists and aesthetitians seem to unanimously recommend daily sunscreen/avoidance of sun as the number one and most important way to prevent skin aging. But since I've come into the paleo-sphere I've discovered all sorts of opposing viewpoints on the matter. What I'm wondering is: I know sun exposure is good for body health (Vitamin D) and well-being (makes you feel happy) but is it at all good for skin itself? I know it can make skin look nice (tan), but is it inherently damaging for skin?
Is the healthy/natural/paleo way to live long and healthy but have wrinkled leathery skin? Or perhaps will a lifetime of paleo maintain the skin's youthful appearance despite sun exposure?
I need to get to the bottom of this because I feel I'm in a crucial period. In terms of skin aging, my family seems to fare pretty well (mom is 57 and has very few wrinkles, and she definitely got some sun back in the 70's) and as of now people usually think I'm 7-10 years younger, but I can't tell if thats good genes, good diet (been basically WAPF-esque since 22) or religious use of sunscreen in my early/mid 20s. So basically I want to maintain what I have.
CURRENT REGIMEN: These days I rarely wear sunscreen but avoid excessive sun by using umbrellas (I live in Taiwan so its not weird) or seeking shade. I also take vitamin D supplements, avoid sugar and try to eat tomato paste. I haven't used soap/facewash in almost a year, only hot water to melt and redistribute the sebum. For makeup I use Bare Minerals which I usually end up sweating off (Taiwan summer), and eye makeup I just remove using oil or a gentle eye-makeup remover.
Basically this is sunburn prevention, but is that enough for photo-aging prevention or do I really need to do as the dermos recommend and slather on chemical nonsense everyday for the rest of my life? I want to stay freakishly young-looking. What's a girl to do?
I was referring to direct sun exposure during spring and summer months and if I'm in and out of shade I can be outside for a reasonable amount of time like for an hour or longer. Sunburns don't seem to happen to me very often unless I'm getting a ridiculous amount of sun exposure.
Aha, that would make sense. I think in your situation something like Fraxel laser or IPL treatment could help repair your skin. It not only evens texture and tone, but also gets rid of broken capillaries/spider veins and stimulates collagen production.
Not Okinawan at all. Blonde (as a child) pale skinned military brat. I played outside all day long and remember bad sunburns on beach days. I remember my dad peeling sheet of skin the size of my back. In those days, if we used a thing at all it was suntan lotion (to help you tan) not sun block.
IME I can have about 10-40 mins and it seems indifferent.
Glad I'm not part of your culture! I think you'll probably feel different about aging when it starts to happen. Where I'm from, being 18 isn't the be all end all of beauty. We get married much later if at all and we have other options other than marriage and babies. Some of us, as myself, for various reasons are unable to have kids and do not see marriage as a necessity. So may as well be beautiful forever.
The more research I do the more I begin to question the roll omega 6 (from natural sources) plays in disease. I am still not convinced saturated fat is any better.
PS. what is the rationale for using coconut oil to remediate collagen degradation? isn't it apples and oranges, or fats and proteins?
why stress the Omega 6? If you eat avocado, or olive oil, or lard, or tallow, or grass fed beef, or pastured chicken, you intake too much of it already. It gets worse with CAFO meat.
In our culture, beauty is only valuable when one is young (14-25). After 30 years old, no matter how good you look for your age, truth is you'll never be beautiful as a fresh faced 18 year old. I'm 22 and I'll never get botox or plastic surgery. I'll just age gracefully. Because, when I'm 30, I'm going to be intelligent, wise, and have a ton of life experience.Looks wouldn't matter to me - I'd focus on my family and career. Of course I'd stay healthy and fit and health is beauty, but we all age, and aging is normal and natural.
I've found it to be quite valuable currency. Worth maintaining I'd say.
Ah, that's what I figured. In that case, do I need to absorb the sunlight with most of my body uncovered (like with a swimsuit) in order to receive my daily dosage of vitamin D, or can I get enough for my whole body with only my calves, arms, face, etc, uncovered?
Are you native Okinawan? I'd assume people native to there would be adapted to that environment. But yes, I also love broths and I'm sure they are doing me only good as well!
any uncovered skin will do, including the skin of your calves or the back of your arms if you are looking away. It has to be uncovered because it is pretty dark under clothing. Even a cotton T-shirt is too much cover, unless you are in the tropics.
maybe. certainly there is a strong statistical significance, but the practical significance is pretty low. From what I can tell, extremely low cholesterol would be a problem, but I doubt that many people have that low.
That's very interesting. I don't really get along with the sun, so the I want as least contact as possible; just enough to fill my quota and get out as soon as possible from that unbearable ball of fire.
A couple of questions though; would wearing thick clothes affect the vitamin D absorption in any way? And can you still get the full benefits from sun exposure if you look away from the sun? I'm kind of a newbie when it comes to practical stuff like that, so, sorry for the really basic questions.
excellent. so you say the evidence is for skin color to be a minimal or non-existent factor. Cholesterol is a factor. I have seen anedoctal evidence for magnesium, including my own, but would like to see a paper.
Eat lots of greens for magnesium. I prefer chard above all, because it is a top three magnesium food, but unlike spinach it has a lower oxalate load (beet greens also great, but not frost resistant). Plus it is easy to grow and far more productive (I grow 60 plants every year) per square foot. But they are all good sources, temperate greens like kale or semi-tropical greens like Malabar spinach. One pound per day is a good level to aim for. Brown rice is also much better than many other starches in this respect.
concur that sun's elevation is a far more dominant factor than the other three. Also, that means that here in Michigan it is impossible to get vitamin D between November and February by sun exposure. Russia and Alaska will be much worse.
Time of day is contained in the increase for location and time of year). Everything that I have read suggests that 10-15 minutes of mid day sun is more than enough regardless of the other three factors. If you have papers, I'd love to review them.
.. depending on skin color, time of day, cholesterol and magnesium levels. 10 minutes at 6pm provide no vitamin D. It has to be in the middle of the day.
good call on the collagen. In Taiwan it is not difficult to eat skin and tendons.
Magnesium, check. Do you recommend supplementing? I've read in some places that eating lots of fruits could make one burn more easily because of the sugar content. Would this be balanced out by high fat/general paleo wellness?
The skin on the face -- particularly around the eyes -- is thin and quite susceptible to Sun damage. I would wear a hat and large sunglasses to retain a youthful look as you age. Your arms and legs can handle a lot more Sun exposure.
It's known that professional drivers, like truckers, have a lot more photo aging on the window side of their face. So I'm bit skeptical that diet can protect you from that. I'd suspect genes play a greater role.
vitamin D needs can be met in most regions of the world with very little sun exposure... the rest of the time the skin needs protection.
I think all this obsession with beauty and flawless skin is resulting in people becoming vitamin D deficient. Theres a large body of evidence that this is making people sick, its an essential nutrient and it doesn't just affect bones and muscles it affects more things than I care to remember.
Lots of good answers about diet but unprotected sun exposure ages the skin.
Coconut oil and shade (wide brim hat & sunglasses).
Having the tan look now and having fantastic skin in your middle age and later......IMO, not compatible.
Tanned now>>>> wrinkled & dried out later.
White now >>>> great skin later.
Women that I know with beautiful skin in their fifties do not use any sunscreen. But they do use vitamin based serums on their face. I hear vitamin c works great to both prevent collagen degradation and to help your skin build healthy collagen. And the occasional week or two with some vitamin a based serum can give you an extra boost. and help shed some skin if you do get some damage.
I also like to do a tanaka massage in the shower as i cleanse with jojoba oil.
Plus, sure what you hear is always that as you age you stop making collagen and stop to store fat under you skin, but those same doctors and people who say that do not get much collagen from their diet, so of course it won't just magically appear on their face out of thin air if their reserve is progressively destroyed by the occasional ray of sunshine.
Some say that beauty is overrated, the western world is obsessed with beauty and appearances. These people are less concerned about the way they look and just simply move on and not worry.
I hate to break it to you but you are going to have to use sunscreen if you want to keep your youthful appearance. There is a ton of evidence linking sun exposure to photo aging, and collagen degradation. I agree with many people here that eating healthy (collagen rich foods, fruits and veggies, omega 6 - yes in studies it has shown to be good for the skin, and grass fed meats,) are sure to help, but that won't completely nullify all the damage. Have you seen native people? As much as I hate to admit it, they are not our typical idea of beauty.
Look for a natural sunscreen, high in UVA and preferably with zinc oxide. Burnout is a pretty good one.
Interesting question as I am on the other side of it. I have damage to my collagen already (see my question re solar purpura). I'm trying to figure out if all the damage was done decades ago during my childhood on Okinawa where I spent most of every day outside in the sun and whether careful sun exposure now continues to cause damage or not.
I'm hoping good diet can help (lots of good collagen foods like broth and gelatin, plus vitamin C and D supplements), because I'd like to avoid sunscreen if possible--allergic to the added fragrances!
I consider buying a UVB lamp, UVC lamps are also sold but I'm a bit skeptic with them as none reaches us from the sun. With such a lamp you avoid UVA and can make the same vitamin D with less UVB exposure as UVA counteracts this.
I've heard that eating coconut products on a regular basis can help lower sunburn risk, whats your take on this? Is there something about coconut that acts like sunscreen?
I'm 62 and have almost no wrinkles at all and a very smooth skin. I have NEVER used soap on my face since I was about 25. And no moisturiser. I was told years ago that the most unnatural thing to do to your skin was to intentionally remove the natural moisturisers by washing them out and then attempting to replace them with artificial ones which are only on the surface. Makes a lot of sense to me - and it is a triumph of commercial advertising to persuade anyone otherwise!!
Lots of saturated fat and gelatine carrying foods (stock, pork fat, Great Lakes gelatine in coffee etc etc). I start to get into the sun early in the spring and increase gradually my sun exposure until I am reasonably tanned. And keep all your vitamin and minerals high through good eating. And especially silica - it is so important for skin structure and smoothness. Nettle tea is good and I drink a little Diaotomaceous earth suspended in water.
Eat salmon. No skin cancer risk, plenty of Vitamin D, bonus omega-3 if you care about that and most importantly, very tasty.
To get your Vitamin D levels topped off you need ~10 minutes of sun exposure (increase based on location and time of year). Beyond that excess sun exposure provides minimal benefit (except for some non-validated mood studies).
So get your 10-15 minutes of sun exposure, then use other strategies (natural sun blocks, shade, umbrellas, hats, etc).
I understand your dilemma. I'm about to turn 36 and I live in southern CA where it sunny and beach weather year round. I agree with @glib to avoid sunscreen. It amazes me that these industries continue to make money with such terrible and dangerous misinformation. The popular consensus is that sun exposure causes wrinkles by breaking down collagen fibers in the skin. I have no evidence to support or refute this theory, but it seems to make sense. However we all know that there are other major causes of wrinkles: sugar, dehydration, stress, lack of sleep, deficient diets, etc. If you are doing all the paleo/innate lifestyle the right way, and it sounds like you are, I think you'll be just fine.
My biggest recommendation for keeping skin youthful is to use the best possible moisturizer. I've tried them all and by far my favorite is plain old coconut oil. I use it as a face and body moisturizer, make up remover, tooth cleaner, hair styling aid, and of course I eat it.
I also agree with @glib about keeping the doses of sun exposure limited - I usually opt for 10-15 minute doses a few times a day or a longer dose in the early evening.
Finally: make sure to protect your neck and hands. We tend to take extra care with facial moisturizers and neglect the neck and hands. I'm sure you've seen women in their forties who look great for their age until you look at their leathery neck/upper chest area or their dried out looking hands. I'd keep those areas covered when possible and be extra diligent with moisturizer.
keep your magnesium up, use no sunscreen, and get smaller, more frequent exposures to the midday sun. Also eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and natto, for general skin health.

Unvaccinated parents are losing their children to the foster care and adoption industry.
As Massachusetts and Virginia lead the country in a push toward mandatory vaccination for both COVID-19 and the flu (which public health experts worry could exacerbate the current COVID-19 outbreak), a large group of protesters converged outside the Massachusetts State House in Boston, holding signs that read "Unavoidably unsafe," "My child, my choice," "Parents call the shots" and "I am not a threat." (picture from Blacklisted news)
A Chicago judge ruled that a mother could not see her 11-year-old son because she was not vaccinated, in New York a three-year -old was separated from her family over a covid vaccine disagreement, and an unvaccinated father in New Brunswick, Canada just lost custody of his three children.
The judge is allowing the New Brunswick dad to interact with the children over Zoom and will reevaluate the case if the father does get vaccinated. One of the children is a 10-year-old immunocompromised child, according to reports from the CBC. USA Today reports that the father presented research to the judge that he believed questioned the safety and efficacy of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, but the judge ruled against it saying;
"His own anecdotal research on such a highly specialized topic carries little to no weight in the overall analysis when measured against the sound medical advice of our public health officials," wrote Justice Nathalie Godbout of the Court of Queen's Bench.
In Cook County Illinois Judge James Shapiro asked a mother during a child support hearing over Zoom whether she was vaccinated. The mother of the 11-year-old boy said no, and the judge stripped her of all parental rights until she receives the vaccination. The decision was later reversed through an appeals process.
"I've had adverse reactions to vaccines in the past and was advised not to get vaccinated by my doctor. It poses a risk. I was confused because (the hearing) was just supposed to be about expenses and child support. I asked him what it had to do with the hearing, and he said, 'I am the judge, and I make the decisions for your case,' Firlit, told the Chicago Sun-Times in an interview.
Judge Matthew Cooper refused to let a Long Island father see his 3-year-old until he got the COVID-19 vaccine. New York Judge Matthew Cooper decided to punish a three-year-old little girl, her Dad, and their family over a vaccine disagreement. All the while that this case was happening, Karen Rosenthal, the child's attorney, appointed by none other than "her friend" Judge Cooper, charged the family a whopping $600 an hour. Judge Cooper also ordered the father to hire another "friend", his favorite private firm, Comprehensive Family Services for "supervised visitation" at a cost of $400 an hour.
As if the courts are not already using the unchecked authority of the Department of Health and Human Services to separate tens of millions of children from their parents and extended family members under public health law and not common law. This is taking place while at the same time people are protesting and rallying against vaccine mandates in Canada, the U.S., and around the world. The leaders of a Canadian group of truck drivers, the 'Freedom Convoy 2022' held a news conference to address various issues surrounding their ongoing protest against vaccine mandates and restrictions. The demonstration against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions has gripped the city since it began on January 28, 2022 on Parliament Hill and continues.
Reports show that children are far less likely than adults to be hospitalized or die from COVID-19. However, the World Health Organization recommends that children get vaccinated to avoid disruptions to their education. The WHO also recommends that children who have possible comorbidities, diabetes, Down Syndrome, or cardiac, lung, and kidney diseases get vaccinated and boosted as soon as possible to reduce risk.

Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) was an outstanding American preacher. He lived during times of great revival, but the reality of this revival was questioned by many. In connection with this Edwards was forced to think about what he called the most important question of all – how can we judge whether our religion is true or false? His most important contribution to answering this question came in his 1754 work on Religious Affections.1 This review is intended to give an overview of Edwards' teaching in this work.
Edwards starts by saying that, 'True religion, in great part, consists in holy affections'. But by 'affections' Edwards does not just mean feelings – he is saying that true religion is really demonstrated by the attitude of the heart. As Edwards says: 'The holy Scriptures do everywhere place religion very much in the affection; such as fear, hope, love, hatred, desire, joy, sorrow, gratitude, compassion, and zeal.' Edwards is saying that true religion will always influence or 'affect' every part of a man – and that a religion that does not affect us is not worth having.
But Edwards recognises that a man may have what could be called 'religious' affections, and yet actually be unconverted. And so he attempts to give some hints as to how we should view certain 'affections'. He gives first 12 'symptoms' that do not prove affections to be gracious (although it is very important to remember that these signs also do not prove the opposite), and then 12 'distinguishing signs of truly gracious affections'.
That the affections are very powerful is no proof that they are gracious. There are religious affections which are very powerful, that are not spiritual and saving. When Christ rode into Jerusalem, the people, affected by the miracle of Lazarus' resurrection, praised and worshipped – yet before long they were crying out for him to be crucified.
That the affections have great effects on the body is no proof that they are gracious. Such effects often arise from great affections about non-spiritual things. On the other hand, we ought not to dismiss religious affections because they do have great physical effects.
That the affections cause a man to be fluent and fervent in talking of the things of religion, is no proof that they are gracious. Once again, we must be careful not to mistrust a person just because they are fluent and fervent in talking about religion. It is no proof one way or the other.
It is no proof that the affections are gracious that a man did not make them himself, or excite them by his own efforts. There are other spirits who have influence on the minds of men, besides the Holy Ghost. Satan can influence a man into feelings of false security or false love.
That the affections come with texts of Scripture, remarkably brought to the mind, is no proof that they are gracious. Some people say things like, 'There were such and such sweet promises brought to my mind: they came suddenly, as if they were spoken to me', or 'the Word came with power', and they suppose that this means their experience must have been from God. But there is no evidence that the devil cannot bring texts of Scripture to the mind, and misapply them to deceive persons, even 'with power'.
That there is an appearance of love in the affections is no proof that they arc gracious. Persons may seem to have love to God and to Christ and yet have no grace.
A person may have religious affections of many kinds, accompanying one another, but this is no proof that these affections are gracious. Men, while in a state of nature, are capable of a resemblance of all kinds of religious affections; and so they may have many of them together.
That comforts and joys seem to follow awakenings and convictions of conscience, in a certain order, is no proof that the affections are gracious. It is no evidence that comforts and joys are gracious, just because they succeed great terrors, and intense fears of hell.
That they dispose persons to spend much time in 'religion', is no proof that the affections are gracious. See, for example, Martin Luther before his conversion.
That a person is frequently inclined to praise and glorify God with his mouth, is no proof that the affections are gracious. It is foretold that false professors should show a forwardness to glorify God: Isaiah 66:5.
That the affections make a man very confident that he is saved, is no proof that the affections are gracious. There is such a thing as true assurance, and we should pray for it – but a man may be sure that he is saved, and yet not be.
That a man can talk about and display his affections in a way that makes other Christians think he is converted, is no proof that his affections are gracious. The true saints are not able to know for sure who is godly, and who is not. Bright professors, who had been received as eminent saints, have often been known to fall away and come to nothing.
Gracious affections always arise from divine influences and operations on the heart. These divine influences are entirely above nature, or supernatural. Edwards' explanation of this point is lengthy and not really possible to summarise here – read the book!
Gracious affections are always primarily founded on the excellent nature of divine things, not self-interest. A man who truly loves God does so primarily because God himself is lovely and worthy to be loved; not because of God's mercy to him. The true saint delights in God primarily because of God's own perfection; and he delights in Christ because of Christ's own beauty; the chiefest among ten thousand, and altogether lovely.
Gracious affections are always founded on the loveliness of the moral excellency of divine things. A true love to God begins with a delight in his holiness; for no other attribute is truly lovely without this. His holiness must be loved before any other of his attributes can be loved. True saints love the grace of God not just because this grace serves their interest (and so suits their self-love), but because this grace is beautiful in itself.
Gracious affections always arise from the mind being enlightened to understand or apprehend divine things. There are affections which do not arise from any spiritual understanding; and these affections are not spiritual. For example, affections arising from texts of Scripture coming to the mind are vain, if the affection flows from the manner in which the text came, rather than on the teaching contained in it.
Gracious affections are always attended with a conviction of the reality and certainty of divine things. All those who are truly gracious persons have a solid, full, thorough and effectual conviction of the truth of the great things of the gospel. They no longer halt between two opinions; the great doctrines of the gospel cease to be any longer doubtful things, or matters of opinion.
Gracious affections are always attended with evangelical humiliation. The Christian has a sense of his own utter insufficiency, despicableness, and odiousness. The Christians that are really the most eminent saints are ashamed of the low degrees of their love and thankfulness, and their little knowledge of God.
Gracious affections are always accompanied by a change of nature. If there has been no great and remarkable abiding change in a man, all his imaginations are vain, however he has been affected.
Gracious affections are always attended with the lamb-like, dove-like spirit and temper of Jesus Christ. This is not to say that true Christians have no remains of a contrary spirit, and can never be guilty of behaviour disagreeable to such a spirit.
Gracious affections always soften the heart, and are attended and followed with a Christian tenderness of spirit. False affections have a tendency in the end to harden the heart.
Gracious affections always display beautiful symmetry and proportion. For example, the saints' joy and comfort is balanced with godly sorrow and mourning for sin.
The higher gracious affections are raised, the greater the spiritual appetite and longing of soul after spiritual attainments. Those with false affections rest satisfied in them. But for a Christian, the more he loves God with a gracious love, the more he desires to love him, and the more uneasy he is that he doesn't love him more; the more he hates sin, the more he desires to hate it, and is upset that he loves it so much; the more his heart is broken, the more he desires it should be broken; the more he longs after God and holiness, the more he longs to long.
a. That his behaviour or practice in the world will be conformed to, and directed by, Christian rules.
b. That he will make a business of such a holy practice above all things; that it be a business which he is chiefly engaged in, and devoted to, and pursues with highest earnestness and diligence: so that he may be said to make this practice of religion eminently his work and business.
c. That he will persist in it to the end of life: so that it may be said, not only to be his business at certain seasons, but the business of his life; it is the business which he perseveres in through all changes, and under all trials, as long as he lives. True saints may be guilty of some kinds and degrees of backsliding, and may be foiled by particular temptations, and may fall into sin, yea great sins; but they never can fall away so as to grow weary of religion, and the service of God, and habitually dislike and neglect it.
Some of Edwards' words may seem blunt and appear not to take into account that even the best Christians are very far from perfect. However this is because I have reduced the c. 170,000 words of the original book into only c. 1,700 words, so 99% of what Edwards said is missing. Really the only way to fully appreciate his teaching is to read the book. It is worth the effort that it requires!

Party For The People PFTP
People of the Party #5 - GRL
Sheffield's newest DJ collective, GRL, made a substantial splash on the scene last month when they packed out Foodhall for their opening event.
Currently comprised of Emily Hunnybun and Meg Hartman, two students at the University of Sheffield, GRL aims to provide a safe environment for women and non-binary DJs to play what they want, how they want. We caught up with the GRLs ahead of their sophomore event later this month to chat about their inspirations, struggles and visions for the collective's future.
So just explain to me what GRL is all about and how it came into being..
Emily: I feel like it started off as a drunken thing
Meg: I don't think I was drunk!
Emily: Okay, I was very very drunk when I agreed, but then I woke up in the morning and I was like 'yeah, let's actually do it.'
Meg: I think it started as a series of conversations about feeling that although Sheffield does have a diverse music scene, there's nothing that felt like it was specifically for women, girls or non-binary people, or people who haven't had a chance to begin. It all felt quite professional, so we just wanted to create a platform for those people.
Emily: Yeah, there's two types of intimidation. You've got quite these masculine dominated space and then also the fact that there are people that are really good are what they're doing, so we just wanted to create a kind of 'give it a go' atmosphere. Anyone's free to get involved. At our last event, a few of the girls had never actually done it before.
How important is it to you guys that you host the night at a place like Foodhall?
Meg: I've been involved with Foodhall quite heavily over the past seven months. I think it's important that it's there because it's a space for everybody, made by everybody, and I think that ethos runs through GRL. To be able to support everything that Foodhall does just beyond the Lates fundraising is really important to me because it's one of the best things in Sheffield.
I guess it also allows you to shed the intimidating baggage that might come with hosting it elsewhere, seeing as other places might have a more clearly established hierarchy about how things should be done and who does them.
Meg: Yeah, and also I think because it's slightly out of the way of everything else, when we've sent out the feedback from the first GRL, we had people saying that because of its location and because of the nature of the space, they felt completely safe there. People said they felt like they could be with their partners or dance the way they wanted to without fear of judgment.
Emily: You've got several spaces within it as well. You've got the dancefloor and then you've got people socializing and chatting.
Tell us a bit about your plans to host workshops with vulnerable women's groups..
Emily: So first of all, lots of women and non-binary people do want to get involved, but might not know where to start. We wanted to host some workshops and also use the DJ skills as a way of bringing different people together. I don't want to say it's cathartic or be like 'music is healing', but you know what I mean.
Meg: I think the idea is that we want to host an open set of workshops which will have the social eating aspect as well. Obviously, with it being at Foodhall, that's really important. As well as sharing culture, you're sharing food - you're sharing everything. That one will be running on a suggested donation kind of principle.
As well as that, we want to have a kind of closed subsidized sessions for specific women's groups. We really want to work with SWWOP, which is the sex worker's group in Sheffield, and with ASSIST and Ashiana to create these workshops for women and non-binary people who maybe wouldn't have access to those skills.
I know it's still early days for GRL, but you've had a really good reception so far. What are your other plans for the night in the future?
Emily: World domination!
Meg: What's really important to acknowledge is that we're not the only people doing this right now. There are lots of girls across the country doing a lot of similar things. So you've got All Hands on Deck in Manchester, you've got Intervention in various cities throughout the country, but I think maybe predominantly Bristol and Leeds. It's about creating connections with groups who are doing similar things, because we can't take over the world on our own, as much as we'd like to. You're always stronger collaborating with other people and with other groups. Solidarity with our sisters!
Have you reached out to many of those groups already?
Emily: A few of them have reached out to us, which is really cool.
Meg: It would be really cool to have a sort of day festival that maybe changes location each year around the various cities where the collectives are popping up. That's a new idea.
So just to finish - what are both of your go-to floor fillers?
Emily: I can't even pronounce mine. It's 'No Hay Igual' by Nelly Furtado.
Meg: I've got to think. I've got to say something that will make me come across as cool. You know what, I'll go with 'Via Botswana' by Professor Rhythm. That's like one of my favourite songs.
Emily: [laughs] That's two very different spectrums.

They are Deer Isle Granite products from Deer Isle Granite Company in Deer Island, Maine.
While reinforced concrete has commonly replaced granite as a construction material, it can never match it for beauty. Although the quarrying industry has gone through a number of changes, it remains alive today through many new and creative products. Some of the more prominent new uses include kitchen counter tops and a variety of elegant furniture pieces.
Granite is a common component of the earth's crust and takes on many different appearances, each reflective of its origin. There is some debate as to just how granite was formed. Some are clearly unique while others show evidence of a melting of metamorphic rock. The different granites get their distinctive patterns from unique mixtures of feldspar, hornblende, biotite, mica and quartz. The pink and white colors are derived from the feldspar component while the intense black is hornblende and biotite.
Granite has been an integral part of the colorful history of Deer Isle for over a century. The quarrying business began in the late 1860's with the recognition of the granite's quality and accessibility to transportation. It was started at Green's Landing by John Goss Sr. although several other companies soon joined this growing industry. Operations expanded to include several other islands with Crotch Island, just across the Deer Isle Thoroughfare from Stonington, becoming the most prominent. Today this island is devoted to quarrying, the last remaining, isolated island quarry on the New England coast. So important was the granite industry to Deer Isle that the town of Green's Landing changed its name to Stonington, which remains one of the most picturesque villages on the coast of Maine.

Sold to me by Best Buy salesperson with a 65 inch Samsung Q9. As already mentioned it does not fit larger TVs with a flat back. Poor product and poor advice from Best Buy. Its useless and going back to the store.
Put your cables on first!
Worked well with my 55" LED TV. Not too sure how much the TV weighs, but it definately feels solidly mounted and not stressed. Agree with the other comment about installing your cabling before mounting as it is pretty flush with the wall.
I doesn't work with my 65" Samsung LED TV (UN6290). I had the same problem as Stephen (Toronto). In order for the TV to fit into the mount it must be slightly tilted. However the top of the TV hits the wall making impossible to hook it.

The Marys of the Bible
Foreword by Bindulata Barik, Ingrid Faro
By Boaz Johnson
The #MeToo movement is a global phenomenon. Several Christian organizations have been engaging with issues of abuse against women in places like Africa and Asia. Much of this happens among internally displaced or external refugees. I was reared in a New Delhi slum, and saw much of the horrors of human trafficking among the low caste and outcaste people among whom I lived. These kinds of atrocities against girls and women--internally displaced refugees--rightly raises much anger. Are there solutions? My students and leaders of several organizations have asked me to write a biblical response to issues raised by the #MeToo movement and the global horror of sexual trafficking of girls and women. This book provides a biblical response to issues raised by the #MeToo movement--questions that I have had for many years, going back to my childhood days in that New Delhi slum. My thesis is that women experienced these abuses in ancient societies in very heinous ways. This is seen clearly in ancient Sumerian, Egyptian, and Roman etc. religions. I argue that the Bible sets out to counter attitudes and religious practices of sexual abuse against women. The Bible is the original #MeToo movement. ""True to his biblical namesake, Boaz Johnson applies the Bible's radically counter-cultural ethical teaching about justice for the poor to the plight of abused women. The blending of his childhood in a Delhi slum, his familiarity with contexts of war-zone rape and sex trafficking, and his profound scholarly understanding of the biblical text and its world has produced an eye-opening book that transforms our reading of familiar stories and challenges our response to them."" --Christopher J. H. Wright, Langham Partnership Boaz Johnson is Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies at North Park University, Chicago, Illinois. Before coming to the US, he pastored a church in a New Delhi slum and taught at Union Biblical Seminary in India. He has also taught widely in other parts of the world, in countries like Ukraine, Russia, Brazil, and Argentina, which, sadly, are hotspots of human trafficking of girls and women.

Thomas Hicks
1729-1801. He was baptised on 27 February 1729, the seventh son of thirteen children of John Hicks, a clergyman long associated with Exeter Cathedral.
Having run away from home, Hicks obtained a berth in April 1742 aboard the Norfolk 80, Captain Thomas Graves, which vessel returned from Jamaica that summer. He saw further service in the Mediterranean on the Marlborough 90 with Captain Graves, and thereafter Captain James Cornwall, who succeeded to the command but was killed at the Battle of Toulon on 11 February 1744. Thereafter Hicks was aboard the Monmouth 70, Captain Henry Harrison, which prior to being paid off at the end of the War of Austrian Succession in 1748 saw a great deal of action in the Channel and the Western Approaches.
In April 1754 he was rated midshipman of the Bristol 50, Captain Samuel Marshall, and subsequent service was with Captain Thomas Graves, the son of the officer with whom he had first gone to sea, aboard the Hazard 8 off Brest, and the Sheerness 20 from the summer of 1755. After passing his lieutenant?s examination in November 1756 Hicks was employed aboard the Marlborough 90, Captain Robert Faulknor.
On 3 May 1758 he was commissioned lieutenant of the Lively 20, Captain Francis Wyatt, serving at Jamaica. Whilst a lieutenant aboard the Maidstone 28, Captain Dudley Digges, Hicks was stabbed outside the gates of Sheerness Dockyard by two men in August 1759. Going on half-pay at the peace of 1763, he remained unemployed for the next fifteen years.
In June 1775 he joined the Actaeon 28, Captain Christopher Atkins, as her first lieutenant, . sailing for North America in the following February. This vessel was later abandoned and set on fire the day after Commodore Sir Peter Parker?s unsuccessful attack on Charlestown on 28 June 1776. In October Hicks joined Atkins aboard the Aeolus 32, but with this vessel under orders for Jamaica he transferred two months later to the Terrible 74, Captain Sir Richard Bickerton.
Captain Hicks fought at the Battle of Cuddalore in 1783, some forty years after witnessing his first major action
The appointment to the Terrible could not have been a more providential move, for it was to be his good fortune that nearing the age of fifty Hicks found himself promoted commander on 13 May 1778 as a beneficiary of the King?s fleet review, having been senior lieutenant aboard the yacht Princess Augusta which had conveyed the lords of the Admiralty under Bickerton?s orders. It was indeed a close shave for Hicks, as just three months earlier he had been recommended for a position as an agent of transports, and this would most likely have been a path to obscurity.
In the same month Hicks commissioned the French-built schooner Helena 14, but she was captured by the French frigate Sensible on 16 September 1778. He was acquitted of any blame for her loss but for a short while remained on half-pay .
He was posted captain on 10 November 1781, and in February1782 received the broad pennant of Commodore Sir Richard Bickerton aboard the Gibraltar 80, his patron being sent out to join Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Hughes in the East Indies in command of four other sail-of-the-line and two frigates. The squadron took many months longer than anticipated to reach its station and when it finally arrived on 21 October the ships were ridden with scurvy. The Gibraltar fought at the Battle of Cuddalore on 20 June 1783 where she lost six men killed and forty wounded, and after returning home she was paid off in July 1784.
Hicks had the command of the Jupiter 50 from August 1786 until the following February with Bickerton?s broad pennant as commander-in-chief designate of the Leeward Islands, and during the spring of 1791 he commissioned the Cambridge 80 as flagship to the promoted Rear-Admiral Bickerton at Plymouth. This vessel was paid off in September when he recommissioned the St. George 90 as Bickerton?s flagship. After his patron?s death in February 1792 he briefly flew the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Richard King at Plymouth, retaining her until November.
In December 1792 he commissioned the Powerful 74 which was detached from Rear-Admiral John Gell?s squadron in order to escort an East India convoy out to the Cape in 1793. As a consequence he was not present when the squadron captured the richly-laden French privateer General Dumourier and her prize, the Spanish register ship St. Jago on 14 April, and despite a subsequent appeal he missed out on the huge sum of prize-money eventually awarded to his fellow captains. He left the Powerful shortly afterwards.
Hicks was promoted rear-admiral on 1 January 1801, and died at his recently built residence of Maisonette, Stoke Gabriel, Devon on 9 May that year.
His first wife, Lucy, whom he had married in the early 1760?s, bore him a daughter before her death at Puddletown, Dorset. He married secondly Jane Hyde Champion of Salisbury on 26 September 1775, by whom he had a further five sons and two daughters. Two of his sons entered the Navy, Thomas Bickerton Ashton Hicks and Edward Buller Hicks both achieving the rank of lieutenant, and one of his daughters married Captain Edward Kendall.
Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Buller was a godson to Hicks? son. Suffice to say the Graves family and Sir Richard Bickerton had a great influence on his career and were able to facilitate an old officer?s unlikely promotion and subsequent employment.

2022 Club Running Sessions at the Puffing Park
The scheduled club running sessions at the Puffing Field are now on Sunday
afternoons after club night and again two weeks after that, both sessions starting at 13:30.
Thus, the scheduled dates for the remainder of 2022 are as follows:
Sunday 18th September at 13:30
Sunday 2nd October at 13:30
Sunday 16th October at 13:30
Running may also be possible from November to March but weather and ground conditions in the car park area and under parts of the track generally conspire against it.
These dates are all subject to weather, ground conditions in the car park and availability of someone to open up and act as track marshal. Roger Stephen will endeavour to send out an email to those members who are on his Puffing Group list in advance of scheduled running sessions. If you wish to be added to that list please let Roger know. Subject to serviceability the club steam loco 'Polly' and the club electric loco should be available for members' use at club running sessions. The track may also be used privately by members at other times by arrangement through Roger. At least two people must be present when anyone is running a loco, be it steam or electric.

The Association for Historical Dialogue and Research (AHDR), the Home for Cooperation (H4C), Cyprus Turkish Teachers' Trade Union (KTOS) and Proodeftiki Primary and Pre-Primary Teachers' Movement ran the Inter-communal Children's Choir (ICC) in school year 2017-2018 believing in the need for peace initiatives by organizations, groups and citizens for the promotion of a Culture of Peace.
The Choir had rehearsals once a week from October 2017 to July 2018 with the participation of young participants from all communities residing in Cyprus. The conductors – who have extensive experience both in teaching music and experiential learning – assisted children, through various games and activities, in getting to know each other and developing trust, both among themselves and towards the conductors.
The rehearsals continue to take place at the Home of Cooperation for this academic year (2018-2019), an easily accessible venue with a friendly atmosphere every Wednesday between 5:15 and 6:30 p.m.

Unsung Heroes: Susan Canney
Posted by Melanie on Dec 3, 2013 in Blog, Unsung Heroes
Mali Elephant Project
At the 10th World Wilderness Congress we discovered hundreds of young activists who were working quietly behind the scenes to make the WILD vision a reality. We felt that these people's activities should be recognised. In keeping with the knowledge that young people are the future, we asked our team of young trainee journalists in the press office to go out and interview them.
Susan Canney is the project leader for the Mali Elephant Project, an initiative to preserve and protect elephants, which she describes as "a natural part of the social ecosystem". The rationale for the project is not only to help these beautiful creatures, but also local communities and governments by integrating elephants in local people's daily activities.
Susan has worked on a variety of nature conservation projects in Africa, Asia and Europe. She has MAs in Natural Sciences, Landscape Design and Environmental Policy and a PhD on understanding human impact on protected areas, in particular in Tanzania. However, she admits that she is particularly interested in going into the field in order to understand and interpret the computer data.
Looking at Susan's impressive career and work, two key questions appear: why elephants? Why Mali? She is pretty sure about the answer. "Elephants inMaliare in serious trouble and we have about five years to do something, otherwise they will disappear". She explains that these big mammals are in danger everywhere, but while they can find a few safe habitats in Asia, they are helpless inAfrica. They are big enough to challenge human domination and, sadly, there are people who fear that.
Susan feels that so much work needs to be done in Mali, since there is no conservation at all. "Communities are really divided and, before doing anything, we have to work on reconciliation". Meeting with communities and listening and talking to them is the first step. It is important to show them what is happening so that they realise what the situation is and get engaged with the project. "Reconstruction is only possible through reconciliation", says Canney.
One of the biggest and latest concerns of the Mali Elephant Project is the impact of the war. Tuareg rebels and jihadists have been attacking these animals to buy weapons; the Local Militia Commando has killed six elephants. In addition, since the area has been devastated by the war, one more has died in his way to Mauritania trying to find something to eat. The only possible thing to be done was meeting with the community leaders and exchanging ideas. "We cooperated with the elders to set a moral standard and told everybody to spread the word that killing elephants is bad for the local people. In these communities they respect old people a lot, so it had a good impact."
The Mali Elephant Project works with young volunteers that try to spread their message too. In Susan's opinion, involving young people is crucial for wildlife conservation, so showing children interesting facts about it and getting them to play and experience with nature is the key to develop a sense of awareness and responsibility.
She also deems cooperation essential and that is why WILD10 is so important to her. "It links people, lets them share information and fosters mutual solidarity. By linking smalls efforts, like we did inMali, we can get a big change, we can tip to a new culture of conservation" concludes Susan.

AARANYA, ASSAMESE


Section Three frontrunners Knyveton Gardens got back on track by inflicting a rare defeat on hosts Braeside.
With just six ends remaining, Braeside were in a 12-2 situation. However, strong finishes by Ian Davies (25-13) and John Kellow (31-14) collected 21 shots over the last three ends to give the Gardeners a 10-4 (84-76) victory.
There was disappointment for Pelhams' David Kerr (33-6) who put the Kinson Club in with a shout at Branksome Park. But two winning rinks, topped by Russell Brown, Edmund Sandell, Roy Taylor and Martin Goss (35-10), gave the Squirrels a shock 80-75 win.
Form team Iford Bridge took over second spot after registering their seventh consecutive win by defeating Milford 10-4 (86-67).
One tied and two successful rinks earned Electric an 11-3 (85-72) win at Swanage. The top return for the Sparkies was recorded by Mike Sykes, Rob Burchell, Richard Haynes and Peter Cutts (24-13).
Kings Park remained in the drop zone despite denting Argyll's promotion hopes. The Royals secured a 10-4 (79-73) triumph courtesy of Paddy Roche, Ted Greenwood, Mike Smith and Andy Darch (29-10).
Section One big guns Boscombe Cliff registered another routine win as they pocketed all 14 points at Wimborne.
Alex Findlay, David Halliday, Kevin Downs and Darren Clark (32-18) silenced the Minster chimes as the Cliff strolled to their 13th victory of the season by a convincing 92-63 margin.
There were also no surprises at the Tower where Southbourne consolidated the runners-up spot by overcoming lowly Alexandra Park 79-70. The hosts had three winning rinks, the best being Bob Read, Chris Broomfield, John Challis and Dean Hopkins (24-11). Mike Stapleton (25-13) salvaged two points for Alex.
There were no fireworks at Knyveton Gardens where Clive Fawkes, Maurice Foord, John Smith and Chris Kane (28-16) featured in a 10-4 (78-68) win for Poole Park. The Gardeners' best return was carded by Dave Hart (19-15).
But it was not so good for Poole Park A as they went down 11-3 (84-68) to visitors Broadstone-Wessex. Dolphins captain John Cresswell (18-18) and skip Graham Mould failed to cover two Wessex winning rinks, which were headed by Mike Caines, Brian White, Clive Smith and Roy Lench.
Ringwood moved clear of the basement following their 11-3 success at Fordingbridge. With one rink tied, Bob Curtis, Ray Rankine, Ed Melton and Lee Croad (33-12) carried the Foresters to a much-needed 95-57 triumph.
Leaders Bournemouth endorsed their lofty Section Two status with a comfortable 12-2 win over third-placed West Moors. Wilf Bennett, Phil Snells, Alan Wilson and Vic Druce (26-12) inspired the Marauders to a 94-78 victory.
New Milton maintained their promotion challenge with an 87-65 home win over Branksome Park. With rinks shared, New Milton went well clear after Roy Nicoll, John Thorpe, Kevin Gilliver and Bill Wallace (28-8) had edged Ron King's quartet (27-9) for top honours.
Braeside's promotion hopes suffered a setback after they crashed to a 13-1 (85-66) defeat at Lymington. Fastest out of the blocks for the Lymos was Ken Streek's squad of Duncan Beck, Peter Drodge and Geoff Mapes (27-15).
Swanmore have slipped down the standings following three successive defeats. Their latest came at Boscombe Cliff where the hosts edged an 84-78 win. The pick of Cliff's two winning rinks was Ron Sparks, Graham Matthews, David Burgess and Tony Gabb (25-10).
There was no luck for bottom club Highcliffe who narrowly lost 71-70 to Southbourne. With the scores level, Brian Sadler (21-16) collected one shot on the last end to earn the Towermen 10 points.
Moordown lost top billing in Section Four following their 10-4 home defeat by third-placed New Milton. The New Forest outfit emerged with a 77-74 victory after Bob Shepperley, Dennis James, Keith Young and David Grant (23-15) had covered Moordown skip John Long (24-18).
Richmond Park took over at the summit after a comfortable 12-2 (91-62) win over bottom club Highcliffe.
Knyveton Gardens continued their winning ways with a 12-2 (77-67) away win over high-flying Poole Park. Jeff Mann, John Bristow, Gus Sinclair and Bob Osler (26-18) were once again the Gardeners' match winners.
There were nervy times at Broadstone-Wessex where Tony Mesher, Dave Simmons, Mike Sabine and Gordon Tompsett (23-10) covered Wimborne's three winning rinks to edge an 8-6 (69-63) win for the Broadstone club.
Christchurch slipped into the basement after losing 87-72 at Redhill Park. The Rangers had three successful rinks, the best return coming from Doug Horne, Roger Luscombe, Mike Smith and Terry Horgan (23-10).
The top-two clash on the West Cliff resulted in a 73-71 win for Argyll over Section Five leaders West Moors. The Moors' only winning skip Ken Hoare (29-12) just failed to cover Argyll's three winning rinks.
Ringwood are third following their 12-2 (89-73) victory over lowly Branksome Park. The top quartet for the Foresters was Alan Ford, Dan Davies, John Davis and Brian Tester (26-13).
It was the same result for Lymington who collected their 12 points at Southbourne. Top rink honours were shared in the Lymos' 82-78 win by skips Bill Merrett (25-20) and Ian Shiell (23-18).
Ferndown emerged with 10 points after sharing rinks with Redhill in very wet conditions. Harry Greenhalgh, George Harris, Ron Taylor and David Bryant (33-13) were the main contributors to Ferndown's 78-66 success.
Bottom club Iford Bridge forfeited their match and handed Boscombe Cliff 20 shots and 14 points.
In Section Six, Poole Park did their promotion aspirations no harm when overcoming third- placed Bournemouth 11-3 (75-71). Derek Addis, Gordon Wheatley, Mick Wallis and Martin Butcher (24-15) top-scored for Dolphins.
There was a similar situation for second-placed Ferndown. The Stags formation of Len Hughes, Ian Alner, Peter Dodd and Roy Alner (23-14) covered fourth-placed Swanmore's three winning rinks.
Moordown moved clear of the drop zone following their 72-58 win at Pelhams. With two rinks apiece, Peter Phillips, Mick Gordon, George Webb and David Cooke put the visitors firmly in control.
There was no comfort for the bottom two Southbourne and Richmond Park. Southbourne mustered just four points at West Moors, where the host rink of Keith Fullman, Derek Tilson, Jim Taylor and John Savage (24-16) paved the way for Moors' 81-71 victory. Richmond fared worse at Milford, going down 13-1 (90-63).

Cabaret returns to Sydney!
12 March 2019 Arts & Culture, Cabaret, News
Celebrating both international and Australian cabaret stars, the inaugural Sydney Cabaret Festival is set to take over the Harbour City this July.
The 2019 Sydney Cabaret Festival features the legendary Tony Award-winning Jennifer Holliday, appearing for the first time on Australian soil, alongside local legends like Phil Scott and Jonathan Biggins, to New York downtown darling Natalie Joy Johnson.
UK's most famous duo Frisky and Mannish return after a ten year hiatus, as does the thrilling diva Alison Jiear, described as having a "bring down the house voice" by the New York Times. Sydney favourite Tim Draxl will appear in a world premiere of his new show, along with Kim David Smith, Reuben Kaye and Brian Nash, plus circus and variety show Cheeky Cabaret, direct from their home in Brunswick Heads.
Australian pop culture fan Tim Benzie returns to Sydney with the hilarious Solve-Along-A-Murder-She-Wrote. The Festival also includes a cabaret for children, Petit Cabaret, and masterclasses with Jennifer Holliday and Alison Jiear, as well as the Grand Final of the restored Sydney Cabaret Competition.
Festival Artistic Director Trevor Ashley is thrilled with the program he has assembled. "I have loved Cabaret as long as I can remember. As a confused child growing up I discovered this incredible artform that celebrated unique personalities, and more than that, an irreplaceable bond between artist and audience. Seeing artists like Lorrae Desmond, Julie Anthony and Geraldine Turner live, made me believe I could be anyone I wanted to be. It changed my life."
"I have long dreamed that we could bring cabaret home to Sydney so I am immensely proud to present the inaugural Sydney Cabaret Festival, which in its first outing brings together some of my favourite artists from around Australia and the globe."
"From our headliner, the legendary Jennifer Holliday, through to Alison Jiear, Kim David Smith and Reuben Kaye – three artists at the top of their game, who were born here, but now call London and New York home, there is something for everyone. Variety, comedy, jazz, and more belting than you could poke a stick at, we are coming out with a bang."
"I invite you to celebrate this truly life changing art form, and hope that you'll join not only artists you know and love, but take a chance on someone you've never heard of before. Every single one of these acts is at the top of their game, and I can't believe we will have them all in one place at the same time."
The Seymour Centre is the home to the majority of the program with five fabulous spaces to enjoy the incredible lineup. All the theatres have been renamed after legendary Sydney cabaret venues – Capriccio's, Chequers, Valhalla, The Piano Room and The Tilbury Room – turning the entire venue into a Cabaret Wonderland.
The 2019 Sydney Cabaret Festival runs 5 – 14 July and takes place at the Sydney Town Hall, City Recital Hall and the Festival Hub at the Seymour Centre. For more information and full program, visit: www.sydneycabaretfest.com for details.

Benefit raises $4,700 for injured musician
by Andrew Neff January 16, 2011 Updated January 29, 2011
BANGOR, Maine — As a musician for the last 20 years and a professional musician for the last 10, Heath Bartley knew he had made a lot of friends and fans and met a lot of great people through music.
Up until the last two weeks, though, he had no idea just how many of each he had.
The Mars Hill native and one-third of a popular local band named Overdrive has been overwhelmed by the support he has received since being seriously injured in a car accident while driving home from a gig in Ellsworth in the early morning hours of Dec. 5.
That accident, caused by a patch of black ice on Route 1A in Dedham that caused his Nissan Altima to slide off the road and into a telephone pole, left the 33-year-old guitarist and lead singer with multiple broken bones, damaged ligaments and dislocations.
Six weeks and five surgeries (two on each knee) later, Bartley is on the road to recovery, but it is a long road that still has an estimated four to six months of treatment and rehabilitation to go, and it's an expensive road to travel, especially without insurance.
While Bartley was in the hospital recovering from a broken right pelvis, dislocated right hip, major ligament damage in both knees, and a broken left ankle and left fibula, bandmate and friend Pete Nickerson was doing something to help make that journey a little less expensive.
Nickerson, with the help of Raena's Pub owner Raena Everett and Raena's bartender and fellow County native Melissa Smith-Towle, organized a Jan. 2 benefit concert to help defray Bartley's medical expenses.
"Pete plays for me every Thursday with Third Degree, our house band, and it kind of just came up," Everett said. "We wanted to strike while it was fresh in everyone's mind."
The result was a 12-hour, 12-band event at the popular Bangor bar that drew an estimated 800 fans, friends and supporters and raised $4,700.
"To find out there are so many people out there who are so supportive and care about me is really something," said Hartley, who was discharged from the hospital Dec. 30 and is on the mend at his mother Barbara's home in Mars Hill. "You don't realize how many people you've met or interacted with along the way."
Not bad for something organized off the cuff and over the space of just two weeks.
"I was just looking to get three or four bands together and raise a few hundred bucks," said Nickerson, who plays bass guitar and sings in Overdrive. "It was packed from 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. It way exceeded my expectations."
The event even drew support from the competition, as Benjamin's on Franklin Street donated its own prepared dishes and snacks.
"So much of it had to do with Facebook," Nickerson added. "Once I put it out there, I didn't have to make calls because I was getting so many. Believe it or not, it actually got to the point where I had to turn bands down because we were totally full up. I never expected that."
Bartley considers himself fortunate.
"It could have been a lot worse. I consider myself so completely lucky to be able to continue my music career," said Bartley, who waited an hour for emergency personnel to free him from his car using the Jaws of Life. "My seat belt and air bags completely saved my life.
"I wish I'd gotten the name of the guy who found me and stopped to help. His wife called 911 while he came over."
Despite the concert's success, efforts continue to raise funds for Bartley, who still faces a long rehabilitation process and daunting medical bills.
"He's looking at between half a million to a million dollars in medical expenses," Nickerson said. "We're thinking about doing some smaller fundraisers, like maybe at Brewster's in Brewer," where Nickerson plays weekly solo acoustic sets.
In the meantime, Bartley is working on his recovery and looking forward to rejoining bandmates Nickerson and drummer Scott Hamel.
"My life will continue," Bartley said. "I don't want this to be something where it's a big charity case. There are a lot of people in worse shape."
Donations for Bartley may be sent to P.O. Box 662, Mars Hill 04758.

Der Hodensack oder das Skrotum zählt zu den männlichen Geschlechtsorganen und ist ein Haut- und Muskelsack bei Säugetieren, der die Hoden, Nebenhoden, den Anfang des Samenleiters und das Ende des Samenstrangs enthält. Er befindet sich zwischen den Beinen, dem Penis und dem Damm. Beim Menschen ist der Hodensack ab der Pubertät im natürlichen Zustand mit Schamhaar bewachsen.

Ein Hodensack existiert bei den meisten Beuteltieren und höheren Säugetieren. Bei allen anderen Wirbeltieren einschließlich der Kloakentiere verbleiben die Hoden in der Körperhöhle. Seine Funktion ist noch nicht abschließend geklärt, wahrscheinlich dienen der Hodenabstieg und die Verlagerung der Hoden in den Hodensack dem Schutz der Spermien vor zu hohen Temperaturen in der Körperhöhle.

Anatomie

Makroskopische und mikroskopische Anatomie beim Menschen

Der Hodensack umschließt die Hoden und die Nebenhoden sowie die abführenden Samenstränge. Er ist ein mehrschichtiger Hautbeutel, der durch eine Zwischenwand (Septum scroti) in zwei Hälften geteilt ist, die im klinischen Sprachgebrauch auch als Skrotalfächer bezeichnet werden. Von außen ist diese Zweiteilung durch eine Art "Naht" (Raphe scroti) zu erkennen. Die meist dunkel pigmentierte Haut ist behaart (Schamhaar) und enthält Schweiß- und Talgdrüsen sowie Nervenendigungen, die sie berührungsempfindlich machen (Erogene Zone). Die Unterhaut besteht aus einem Geflecht glatter Muskulatur und elastischer Fasern, weshalb sie als "Fleischhaut" (Tunica dartos) bezeichnet wird.

1 Hoden2 Nebenhoden3 Hodengekröse4 Organblatt der Scheidenhaut   (Epiorchium)5 Wandblatt der Scheidenhaut   (Periorchium)6 Cavum vaginale7 Nebenhodengekröse8 Fascia spermatica interna

Innerhalb des Hodensacks sitzen die Hoden und Nebenhoden in einer Hodenhöhle (Cavitas scroti). Die Hodenhöhle wird gebildet von einer Aussackung des Bauchfells und der inneren Rumpffaszie (hier als Fascia spermatica interna bezeichnet), den Scheidenhautfortsatz (Processus vaginalis). Der Scheidenhautfortsatz gehört zu den Hodenhüllen im Inneren des Hodensacks. Der Bauchfellanteil dieser Ausstülpung wird als Scheidenhaut (Tunica vaginalis testis) bezeichnet. Sie kleidet das Hodensackinnere aus (sogenanntes Wandblatt, Lamina parietalis oder Periorchium), stülpt sich dann als Doppellamelle ins Innere und überzieht als Eingeweideblatt (Lamina visceralis oder Epiorchium) den Hoden. Zwischen den beiden Blättern befindet sich ein sehr enger Spaltraum, das Cavum vaginale, das die Verschieblichkeit des Hodens im Hodensack sicherstellt. Das Eingeweideblatt bildet zwischen Hoden und Nebenhoden eine Rinne (Bursa testicularis). Die Verbindungsstelle zwischen den beiden Blättern ist das Hodengekröse (Mesorchium), welches der Befestigung des Hodens im Hodensack dient. Zudem kann ein bandartiger Rest des Bauchfells die Verbindung zum Bauchraum anzeigen. Der Hoden ist außerdem mit einem kurzen Band mit dem Nebenhoden verbunden (Hodeneigenband, Ligamentum testis proprium). Dieses setzt sich vom Nebenhodenschwanz als Nebenhodenschwanzband (Ligamentum caudae epididymidis) fort und befestigt den Hoden zusätzlich indirekt am Boden des Hodensacks.

Muskulatur, Blutversorgung und Nerven
Der Hodenhebermuskel (Musculus cremaster) setzt am Scheidenhautfortsatz an. Er kann als Schutzvorrichtung den Hoden bei Berührung oder Kälte näher an die Bauchwand ziehen. Er besteht aus Muskelfasern, die aus dem Musculus obliquus internus abdominis und dem Musculus transversus abdominis, zwei Muskeln des Unterbauches, abzweigen. Sie begleiten den Samenstrang und heften sich an der die Hoden umgebenden Faszie (Fascia spermatica interna) an. Der Cremaster wird vom Ramus genitalis des Nervus genitofemoralis innerviert. Bei Nagetieren und Säugetieren mit saisonalem Hodenabstieg, selten auch bei einzelnen Individuen anderer Säugetiere, kann der Muskel den Hoden gänzlich in die Bauchhöhle zurückziehen ("Pendelhoden"). Bei starker sexueller Erregung werden die Hoden ebenfalls kräftig zum Körper gezogen. Daran ist ein nahender Orgasmus erkennbar.

Vergleichende Anatomie

Ein Hodensack ist bei den meisten Beuteltieren und höheren Säugetieren mit Ausnahme derer ohne Hodenabstieg (Testiconda) ausgebildet, während die Hoden bei allen anderen Wirbeltieren einschließlich der Kloakentiere in der Körperhöhle verbleiben. Dabei kann unterschieden werden zwischen einem sitzenden Skrotum, bei dem sich die Hoden in einem Bindegewebslager unter der Haut am Körper anliegend befinden, und einem hängenden Scrotum, bei dem ein echter Beutel ausgebildet wird, der zwischen den Oberschenkeln hängt. Ein sitzendes Skrotum ist etwa bei den Schweinen und Flusspferden ausgebildet, während die meisten anderen Säugetiere einschließlich der Primaten ein hängendes Skrotum besitzen.

Bei den Beuteltieren wird diskutiert, ob der Beutel eine homologe Struktur zum Hodensack und den Großen Schamlippen weiblicher Säuger darstellt, da sich alle diese Strukturen im Bereich der Genitalwülste entwickeln. Dies wird bestärkt durch die Existenz eines rudimentären Beutels bei männlichen Beuteltieren vor dem Hodensack, wodurch jedoch maximal von einer partiellen Homologie ausgegangen wird. Eine Trennung in Beutel- und Hodensackgewebe erfolgt in der Entwicklung bereits vor der hormonellen Beeinflussung und wird direkt genetisch beeinflusst – bei Anwesenheit von nur einem X-Chromosom bildet sich ein Hodensack; sind zwei X-Chromosomen vorhanden, wird ein Beutel ausgebildet.

Physiologie
Die Funktion des Skrotums ist noch nicht abschließend geklärt. Die am meisten verbreitete Hypothese geht davon aus, dass der Hodenabstieg und ihre Verlagerung in den Hodensack dem Schutz der Spermien vor zu hohen Temperaturen in der Körperhöhle dient.

Die Hoden werden im Hodensack zwei bis fünf Grad Celsius kühler als der Rest des Körperinneren gehalten. Diese Temperatur ist optimal für die Produktion von Spermien, ebenso für das Überleben bereits produzierten männlichen Samens. Die Hodentemperatur wird dadurch geregelt, dass sich der Hodensack bei Kälte zusammenzieht, wodurch sich die Abstrahlfläche für die Körperwärme verkleinert, und sich bei Wärme entspannt, wodurch sich die Abstrahlfläche vergrößert. Für die Temperaturregulation innerhalb des Hodensacks spielen weitere Mechanismen eine Rolle: Der Musculus cremaster kann den Hoden näher an den Körper ziehen, und Hodenarterie und -vene bilden ein Geflecht, das als Wärmeaustauscher fungiert.

Ontogenetische Entwicklung
Der Hodensack bildet sich in der Embryonalentwicklung aus den Genitalwülsten, wobei ihm im weiblichen Geschlecht die großen Schamlippen (Labia majora) der Frau entsprechen. Die Genitalwülste verschmelzen beim männlichen Embryo zum Hodensack, wobei die Verschmelzungslinie als Skrotalseptum und von außen sichtbar als Raphe scroti erhalten bleibt, die sich hinter dem Hodensack in der Raphe perinei fortsetzt.

Zum Ende der Embryonalentwicklung werden die Hoden beim Descensus testis ("Hodenabstieg") in den Hodensack verlagert, geleitet vom unteren Keimdrüsenband (Gubernaculum testis). Die Hoden sollten am Beginn des 8. Schwangerschaftsmonats im äußeren Leistenring liegen und bis spätestens Anfang des neunten Schwangerschaftsmonats sollte der Abstieg abgeschlossen sein, dies gilt als Reifezeichen des männlichen Neugeborenen. Beim Hodenabstieg bildet sich durch die begleitende Ausstülpung (Processus vaginalis) des Bauchfelles die Wand der Hodenhöhle (Cavum scroti). Die zunächst über den Leistenkanal bestehende Verbindung zur Bauchhöhle verödet dabei in der Regel, um einerseits die Entwicklung einer Skrotalhernie, andererseits einen Wiedereintritt des Hodens in den Leistenkanal zu verhindern.

Erkrankungen und Verletzungen

Der Hodensack selbst ist als Haut- und Muskelsack nur von sehr wenigen Erkrankungen betroffen. Wie andere Gewebe kann er Entzündungen und andere hautspezifische Erkrankungen aufweisen. Krampfaderartige Erweiterungen der venösen Begleitgefäße, insbesondere im linken Skrotalfach, werden vor allem im Stehen als Varikozele sichtbar. Bei fettleibigen Männern kann eine Intertrigo auf das Skrotum übergreifen. Vor allem bei prädisponierten Personen können sich Abszesse der Haut als Skrotalabszesse manifestieren.

Der Hoden(sack)bruch (Hernia scrotalis oder Skrotalhernie) ist eine besonders schwere Sonderform des Leistenbruchs, bei der es zu einer Bruchbildung der festen äußeren Hülle des Hodensacks kommt und Teile der Eingeweide (Dünndarmschlingen) bis in den Hodensack einfallen können. Eine Skrotalhernie kann angeboren oder erworben sein. Flüssigkeitsansammlungen in der Hodensackhöhle führen zu einem Wasserbruch (Hydrocele testis), der ebenfalls entweder angeboren oder erworben sein kann. Dabei handelt es sich um einen krankhaften Erguss von seröser Flüssigkeit und eine Ansammlung in den Hodenhüllen oder auch im Samenstrang (Hydrocele funiculi spermatici). Die Folge ist eine starke Vergrößerung des Zwischenraums der Hodenhüllen.

Das skrotale Lymphödem, auch bekannt als skrotale Elefantiasis, ist eine massive Vergrößerung des Hodensacks durch Verdickung des Gewebes und Ansammlung von Flüssigkeit. Die meisten Fälle von skrotalen Lymphödemen werden durch Verstopfungen in den Lymphgefäßen verursacht, die den Abfluss von Flüssigkeit aus dem Bereich verhindern.

Fehlbildungen und Lageanomalien
Fehlbildungen des Hodensacks umfassen verschiedene angeborene Störungen der anatomischen Entwicklung des Hodensacks. Dies reicht vom sehr seltenen vollständigen Fehlen des Hodensacks (Skrotumagenesie) über das halbseitige Fehlen (Hemiskrotum) und die Verlagerung einer Hodensackhälfte in die Leisten- oder Dammregion (Skrotumektopie) bis hin zur Mehrfachausbildung (Akzessorisches Skrotum), die gelegentlich vorkommen. Dabei können Fehlbildungen des Hodensacks gemeinsam mit anderen Fehlbildungen der Anorektalregion vorkommen.

Behandelt werden Fehlbildungen durch chirurgische Eingriffe wie etwa die Entfernung von Gewebe oder die Verlagerung von ektopem Gewebe.

Kulturgeschichte

Verwendung von Tierhodensäcken
Aus dem Skrotum von Tieren (zum Beispiel von Ziegenböcken) werden mitunter Beutel hergestellt, beispielsweise als Trinkflasche oder Geldbeutel. Daher leitet sich vermutlich der Begriff Bocksbeutel ab. Es gibt aber auch andere Hypothesen zur Etymologie dieses Wortes.

Der Hodensack in Kunst und Kultur
In der Kunst und Kultur spielt der Hodensack als äußerlich sichtbares Geschlechtsorgan, in dem sich die Hoden befinden, eine Rolle. Im Gegensatz zum Phallus hat er jedoch, außerhalb der Erotik und Pornografie, keine zentrale Rolle. Allerdings können Darstellungen, bei denen der Hodensack und damit der Hoden besonders groß dargestellt wird, eine besondere Bedeutung als fortpflanzungsfähige oder sexuell besonders rege Wesen andeuten.

In der Japanischen Mythologie werden Tanuki, dem Marderhund ähnliche Dämonen (Yōkai), als Glückssymbol häufig mit übergroßen Hoden dargestellt. Das Wappen des italienischen Adelshauses Colleoni aus Bergamo zeigt mehrere Paar Hoden und stellt vermutlich eine Anspielung dar auf coglione, eine italienische Bezeichnung für Hoden.

A 23-year-old driver was pronounced dead last Friday (Feb 24) following an accident that left his car upside down along Neo Tiew Rd.
The driver had been ferrying two passengers along Neo Tiew Lane 3 on Feb 19 at about 4am.
Somehow, the car skidded and turned turtle, and the driver was sent unconscious to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, reported Lianhe Wanbao.
He was already in a coma by the time he arrived at the hospital, said the man's father, who was notified by a friend about the accident at about 5am that day.
The man remained unconscious and in the intensive care unit until Friday, where doctors declared him brain dead.
"We received a call from the hospital at 8 in the morning yesterday.
"The doctors said he was already brain dead.
His father added that his son had decided to enlist in the army after secondary school instead of going to the Institute of Technical Education.
"He wised up in recent years," said his father, who is a 54-year-old school bus driver.
When the accident happened, there were two passengers in the car, aged 16 and 18. They were sent conscious to the hospital.
It is unclear if they were passengers the driver had picked up through Uber, or if they were his friends.
The police told Lianhe Wanbao that investigations are underway.

Of Plymouth Plantation Background
Bradford maintained friendly relations with area natives because the Pilgrims could not have survived without their help. The Native Americans attack the Pilgrims, and the Pilgrims fire back, killing several people. And this, common experience hath confirmed and made too apparent. That is, the whites were the superiors and the blacks were the inferiors Monoculture: One Crop Economy Dependence was centered on a mono crop. They thought all men were sinners and it was al because of the original sin of the apple from the forbidden tree.
Meaning that life on the plantation was centered around the cultivation of sugar cane. During the Revolutionary War, British soldiers obtained it from a church in Boston, and it disappeared for nearly a hundred years. So after they had continued together about a year, and kept their meetings every Sabbath in one place or other, exercising the worship of God amongst themselves, notwithstanding all the diligence and malice of their adversaries, they seeing they could no longer continue in that condition, they resolved to get over into Holland as they could; which was in the year 1607 and 1608; of which more at large in the next chapter. Bradford apparently never made an effort to publish the manuscript during his lifetime, but he did intend it to be preserved and read by others. It is very necessary to the environment.

Even after the emancipation proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln, African Americans were persecuted. The puritans believed that the elite would go to heaven. Bradford was the governor of Plymouth for over thirty years after the previous governor, John Carver, had died. The industry was introduced to the country in 1847 by James Taylor, the British planter. The Rewards of Hard Work A final important theme found in Of Plymouth Plantation is the rewards of hard work.

William Bradford's non-fictional work, 'Of Plymouth Plantation,' is a book about the early settlement experiences of the Puritans from 1620 to 1647. He planned to throw those people overboard but he died of sickness himself and the England men tossed him over instead. Lack of food was caused by the inability to keep food supplies on long trips, and after arriving in America, being unable to find food; in desperation, the Pilgrims took some Indian corn that was buried, with every intention to repay later, which they did.
