Hangover Questions Answered
#Hangover Questions Answered
I'm not a big drinker, but I know what a hangover feels like. And this year, millions of people worldwide will partake in celebrating the New Year. That means millions will wake up Jan. 1 with hangovers. According to recent research from the University of Ulster, heavy #alcohol consumption lowers mood, disrupts sleep, increases anxiety and produces physical symptoms, emotional symptoms and fatigue throughout the next morning — as if we didn't already know. And hangovers have been around since biblical times: "Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink." (Isaiah 5:11) Here are the answers to a few questions that might give you a helping hand the next time you have one too many.
What is the definition of a hangover?
According to Jeff Wiese, M.D., a professor of medicine and hangover researcher at Tulane University, there is no consensus on the definition of an alcohol hangover, which is called "veisalgia" (from the Norwegian kveis, or "uneasiness following debauchery," and the Greek algia, or "pain"). However, most experts have identified a set of common symptoms that can occur after an evening of drinking. These include headache, diarrhea, lack of appetite, tremulousness, fatigue and nausea.
What causes hangovers?
According to Dena Davidson, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry at Indiana University School of Medicine, "Hangovers are caused by several factors, including the direct effects of alcohol (e.g., dehydration, low blood sugar, sleep disturbances), alcohol withdrawal, alcohol metabolism and congeners (compounds found in alcoholic beverages other than alcohol that contribute to their taste, smell and appearance)."
And, according to Dr. Wiese, the greatest impact from a hangover is caused by the activation of inflammation, which may be linked to byproducts of alcohol such as acetaldehyde, or to pollutants found in darker, less-filtered alcohols. Another issue is dehydration, since alcohol impairs your kidneys' ability to hold onto water. And lastly, says Wiese, "Lack of sleep contributes to the overall symptoms." That's right, in spite of what you might believe, alcohol inhibits restful sleep.
How much do you have to drink to get a hangover?
Five to seven cocktails over four to six hours are almost always followed by hangover symptoms. Other factors that influence hangovers are the individual's drinking level (light, moderate or heavy drinkers — you develop a tolerance if you drink more often) and weight. For instance, women tend to weigh less and have lower percentages of total body water than men, so they are likely to achieve higher degrees of intoxication and, presumably, more hangover per unit of alcohol consumed, adds Wiese.
Can I drink excessively and still prevent a hangover?
Well, you can't exactly prevent a hangover; however, you can minimize the effects by doing certain things the night before.
Drink fluids: Choose water or #drinks like Gatorade, which replenish the electrolytes — sodium, magnesium and potassium — lost from alcohol consumption. Dr. Wiese recommends drinking liquids such as water between alcoholic drinks. This does not, however, mean drinking alcohol with mixers — that's not the same.
Eat sugary or starchy foods: The jury is still out whether this helps. However, Dr. Davidson suggests that fruit juice may keep you hydrated and counteract low blood sugar, and that complex carbohydrates such as toast and crackers may counteract nausea and low blood sugar.
Take ibuprofen before you go to bed: Because a hangover is partly due to inflammation, taking aspirin or another type of anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, Medipren) helps. "Taking aspirin offsets some of the inflammation, so it can be beneficial — but painkillers can irritate the stomach, and some people just can't handle that. That's the only limiting feature," says Wiese. "The risk for acetaminophen (e.g., Tylenol) is liver disease — and if you're a heavy drinker, you're already hurting your liver and should avoid acetaminophen altogether," adds Davidson.
Don't drink coffee: One of the causes of a hangover is lack of sleep, and caffeine keeps the brain from deep sleep, in addition to which the diuretic effect further impairs the body's ability to replenish electrolytes, advises Wiese.
What increases your chances of getting a hangover?
Increasing physical activity while intoxicated: "Vigorous activity works up a sweat, which worsens dehydration — and being drunk often relaxes inhibition to the point where people behave in ways they otherwise wouldn't," says Wiese. You can injure yourself if you break into dance moves that you've got no business trying to pull off.
Drinking inexpensive or poorly made alcohol and/or darker versus lighter liquors increases your chances of a hangover. According to Davidson, "There is some evidence that alcoholic beverages with fewer congeners (byproducts that vary according to the filtering process used and whether the liquor is clear or colored) are associated with a lower incidence of hangovers than those with more (e.g., brandy, whiskey and red wine)."
Caffeine: Drinking caffeinated beverages is associated with decreased quality and quantity of sleep. Alcohol already disrupts your sleep — don't make it worse.
Poor physical health: If you're already sick, you're increasing your chance of heightening the effects of the hangover.
Don't rely on myths: According to Wiese, mixing alcohols (e.g., vodka and gin) or combining alcohol with carbonated beverages has no effect on your potential for developing a hangover. "That's all myth — mixing alcohol doesn't make a difference. Nor does carbonation increase the effects of the hangover." Also, don't think that if you eat while drinking you decrease your chances of getting drunk and/or a hangover. "The quantity of alcohol you drink is the quantity of alcohol that's going to be in your stomach. You feel drunk faster when you don't eat only because the alcohol is absorbed faster, but eventually it's all going to make its way in no matter what," says Wiese.
Will anything help cure a hangover?
Not really, but here are a few that have been tested.
Prickly pear extract: This extract from the skin of the Opuntia ficus indica (OFI) plant has a moderate effect on reducing hangover symptoms, apparently by inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators. One study has shown at least moderate results. "Only three symptoms of nine were reduced: nausea, dry mouth and headache. But the overall hangover doesn't improve drastically. At this point, it's not a cure for a hangover. And it requires enough foresight to consume the extract four hours before alcohol — that's a lot of foresight for most people." Keep in mind that this was just one study, and although it's a good one, it was paid for by the makers of the product — Perfect Equation (perfectequation.net).
Vitamin B6: In one study reported in the Quarterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol back in the '70s, there was a 50 percent reduction in hangover symptoms in participants taking 1,200 milligrams of vitamin B6 (400 milligrams at the beginning of the party, 400 three hours later, and 400 at the party's conclusion). "We've seen very modest benefits for people who take vitamin B6, but I also think that's probably because they were vitamin B deficient. Also, anyone who urinates frequently loses water-soluble vitamins, and B is one of those. So your body needs more anyway."
Tolfenamic acid and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin offered improvement in subjective symptoms, according to both Wiese and Davidson.
Exercise: "Exercise doesn't cure a hangover as far as I know," says Dr. Davidson. However, "you perform at a suboptimal level, which can lead to injury if you choose sports such as skiing," adds Wiese.
Coffee: Again, you might get a bit of a pick-me-up the next morning; however, the caffeine could cause you to lose water and affect your ability to repair your body.
Propranolol: "The brain is kind of revved up the next day, and propranolol can reduce the adrenaline rush. It decreases hand tremors and anxiety but is probably not effective at reducing headaches, nausea, etc.," says Wiese. And according to Dr. Davidson, "The evidence for propranolol did not hold up in a controlled trial."
Quick fixes: There are many products being offered on the Web and at nutrition centers, but most experts agree that these are a waste of money, unless, of course, there is a placebo effect. Even those urban legends such as "Hair of the Dog" or drinking Bloody Mary's don't offer much help.

US Launched Deadly Drone Strike From Saudi Arabia: Reports
Drone program revelations come ahead of CIA chief confirmation hearing.
ByLEE FERRAN
Feb. 6, 2013 — -- The CIA used a secret drone base in Saudi Arabia to launch the September 2011 strike that killed Anwar al-Awlaki, a high-profile American member of al Qaeda, according to reports.
The purported existence of the drone base in the Middle Eastern nation was revealed in a pair of reports by The New York Times and The Washington Post today, a day before John Brennan, the chief architect of the Obama administration's counter-terror policy, faces Congressional leaders in a confirmation hearing over his nomination as head of the CIA.
Brennan, Obama's current counter-terror advisor and a CIA veteran, was instrumental in striking a deal with the Saudi government to set up the CIA drone base, according to the Times report. The base was established two years ago in an effort to intensify operations against al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen, AQAP, the Post said.
The CIA declined to comment, but a former national security official confirmed the base's existence to ABC News. "It's been an open secret that it was there," the official said. England's The Sunday Times included Saudi Arabia in a 2011 report about a series of secret drone bases in the region, citing a Gulf defense source.
Al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born al Qaeda cleric who was linked to several plots against the American homeland, was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in September 2011. Another American-born al Qaeda member, propagandist Samir Khan, was killed in the same strike.

The existence of American military or intelligence assets in the Gulf region has long been a controversial subject for local governments concerned with anti-American sentiment among their people and has been cited explicitly by terrorist organizations as their motivation for strikes.
Saudi Arabia, which is home to Mecca and Medina, two of Islam's holiest sites, is especially sensitive to the presence of Western troops, the former national security official said.
"There is a long history of vehement opposition in Saudi Arabia to the presence of foreign bases," the official said.
The revelation about the Saudi base comes just a day after NBC News published a Department of Justice document that summarized the legal justification for the Obama administration to mark a U.S. citizen for death by drone strike.
The 16-page document says that the government can take out Americans in foreign countries as long as:
However, the document says that by "imminent threat," the DOJ does not mean the U.S. government actually has to have "clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons and interests will take place in the immediate future," but rather a "broader concept of imminence" must take into consideration terrorists who are "continually planning" attacks and the typically limited window during which a lethal operation may be conducted.

At least three Americans have been killed in drone strikes, including al-Awlaki's 16-year-old U.S.-born son, who the government said was collateral damage in a separate strike that targeted a senior al Qaeda figure.
Late Tuesday White House Press Secretary Jay Carney defended the drone program as described in the DOJ documents, calling them "legal," "ethical," and "wise."
"Sometimes we use remotely piloted aircraft to conduct targeted strikes against specific al Qaeda terrorists in order to prevent attacks on the United States and to save American lives," Carney said. "We conduct those strikes because they are necessary to mitigate ongoing actual threats, to stop plots, to prevent future attacks and, again, save American lives. These strikes are legal, they are ethical, and they are wise."

Taxing Tech: Obstacles and Opportunities for the Biden Administration
Abigail Annear
President Joe Biden has a decision to make. In addition to decisions surrounding climate change, vaccine distribution, and police reform, Biden must determine whether or not to introduce new taxes that target Big Tech companies like Apple, Alphabet, Facebook, and Amazon.
He can't take too long, though. European Union and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") member states have threatened to enact comprehensive digital taxation policies without U.S. input or support if President Biden fails to act soon. Per a French Finance Ministry spokesman, "[t]he European Union hopes Joseph Biden's incoming administration will clarify the U.S. position on digital taxation within two months of taking office."
Recent testimony from Biden's Treasury Secretary nominee, Janet Yellen, suggests that the administration intends to work with the OECD, but Biden himself has said very little on the subject. While Biden repeatedly emphasized his plans to undo President Trump's 2017 tax bill on day one of his presidency, he has provided few details about instituting digital taxation policies like a digital service tax ("DST"). Varying significantly in size and scope, DSTs generally seek to capture economic value created by technology companies that provide online advertising, data collection, or platform services to users. Unlike traditional corporate taxes, DSTs do not depend on a business's physical presence in a tax jurisdiction; instead, DSTs are levied against companies based on the locations of their consumers.
International debate surrounding DSTs has intensified over the last decade, reaching a pinnacle in December 2019 when France unilaterally decided to impose a three percent DST on certain Big Tech digital revenues. Now that Biden has taken office, he must choose either to reject DST policies, join global corporate tax reform efforts, or create his own standard for taxing Big Tech companies.
Stick to the Status Quo
The U.S. Internal Revenue Code currently does not feature a DST. President Obama rejected calls for a DST throughout his tenure. President Trump did not include a DST in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 either. Instead, the Trump administration provided a windfall to American tech giants by reducing the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, removing a 35 percent tax on repatriated dividends, and levying a one-time 15.5 percent repatriation tax on previously accrued funds held by foreign subsidiaries.
Though he did not sign a DST into law, President Trump did endorse global corporate tax reform efforts led by the OECD. When progress stalled and U.S. support for negotiations began to waver, France and several other countries moved forward and unilaterally imposed DSTs ranging from 2-7.5 percent on certain Big Tech revenues. Convinced that the French DST was discriminatory against U.S. firms, Trump threatened to impose tariffs as high as 25 percent on imported French luxury goods per Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. He further escalated trade tensions with other countries that introduced DST legislation.
With threats of tariffs and a web of unilateral DSTs hanging overhead, Biden—similar to his predecessors—can nevertheless choose to either "punt" on DST proposals or reject them outright. Currently, there is broad bipartisan opposition to imposing a DST on U.S. technology companies. Janet Yellen herself acknowledged that existing DSTs "unfairly" target a few large U.S. digital platforms. Additionally, there are many other pressing policy issues today, which may lower the priority of corporate tax reform on the Biden administration's agenda.
Join Global Reform Efforts
Instead of delaying or rejecting a DST, Biden may choose to champion global DST initiatives early on in his presidency. Throughout the election cycle, Biden strongly condemned President Trump's "go-it-alone" trade policies. Biden may revive the OECD negotiations not only to address thorny questions surrounding taxation in the digital age but more broadly to reassure European allies and signal his commitment to multilateralism.
According to the OECD, substantial progress has already been made to build consensus among the 137 members participating in the global DST effort. Reports indicate that an agreement could come as soon as mid-2021. Furthermore, most countries that enacted unilateral DST policies, including France and Italy, have promised to remove such provisions if an international agreement is reached. Despite this progress, OECD officials recognize that the stakes are still very high: "Under a worst-case scenario – a global trade war triggered by unilateral digital services taxes worldwide – the failure to reach agreement could reduce global GDP by more than 1% annually."
By affirming his commitment to the OECD process, Biden has the opportunity to ease trade tensions and remedy alliances long strained by tariffs and other retaliatory measures.
Create an Independent Standard
Instead of rejecting DST proposals or joining OECD negotiations, Biden could craft his own DST policy. Though this option would give the president far more freedom to promote U.S. interests, it may fuel resentment among OECD partners who have engaged in rigorous negotiations on digital taxation for more than seven years. A unilateral U.S. approach could also encourage other nations to pursue unilateral DST policies, resulting in a "compliance monster" of trade wars and multiple taxation for Big Tech.
Now in office, Biden faces a host of complex issues. Among the many decisions to be made, Biden must evaluate the risks and rewards of either rejecting a DST, joining the OECD's reform efforts, or crafting independent standards for taxing Big Tech.
He must do so soon. The world is watching, and the clock is ticking.

Jean-François Beltramini est un footballeur français né le  aux Clayes-Sous-Bois dans les Yvelines en France et mort le  dans sa ville natale.

Biographie

Carrière de joueur
Formé à Mantes, il passe par Reims et Laval avant d'éclore au Paris FC. Ce n'est que vers 30 ans qu'on va découvrir ses qualités d'avant-centre, bien que son entraîneur Robert Vicot l'utilise un temps arrière droit. La montée avec le Paris FC est sans effet, le club replongeant en seconde division la saison suivante. Après un bref passage au PSG où il est le meilleur buteur de son club en 1979-1980, c'est avec le FC Rouen qu'il connaît la gloire.

Chasseur de buts rusé, Beltramini contribue à faire monter Rouen en Division 1 en 1982. Il a alors 34 ans. Pourtant, il continue à marquer plus de dix buts par saison, avec l'historique 7-1 contre Nancy où il score à cinq reprises. Sa dernière saison se passe mal : à 37 ans, il ne marque plus et le désamour avec le public de Diochon est grand.

Il jette l'éponge en milieu de saison, tout comme son coéquipier Philippe Redon. Le FC Rouen ne s'en remet pas et descend en deuxième division pour ne plus jamais remonter.

Reconversion
Un temps entraîneur au Paris Saint Germain, il a coupé les ponts avec le football professionnel et a repris son travail de maçon dans sa ville natale. Il joue pendant un temps au sein du club amateur de Villepreux avec son frère et devient également l'entraîneur de l'équipe sénior de la ville. De juin 1984 à novembre 1985, il est membre du Variétés Club de France, avec lequel il totalise 21 buts. Il joue ensuite avec l'équipe de personnalités des Polymusclés (Bernard Menez, Christian Baltauss, etc.) et participe également au match de gala des 110 ans du Football Club de Rouen 1899 avec les anciens du FC Rouen en .

Il meurt en 2014 des suites d'une longue maladie. Le stade de sa ville natale, aux Clayes-sous-Bois (Yvelines), est renommé en 2016 en son hommage.

En 2022, le magazine So Foot le classe dans le top 1000 des meilleurs joueurs du championnat de France, à la .

I have a confession. I LOVE the individually wrapped cherry cordial candies you see near cash registers at gas stations and convenience stores. They use to be a guilty pleasure. My eyes would likely spin if I ate one today – but their memory inspired this Quick Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal. The combination of chocolate and cherries is just so darn delicious!
I don't usually cook oatmeal. I enjoy the chewy texture of lightly soaked uncooked oats. However, the level of sweetness cooking brings out in bananas is hard to ignore. Bananas are used as a sweetener in this quick chocolate cherry oatmeal – so cooking is recommended.
The next logical question is, what kind of cooking is best? I know some folks avoid microwaves for various reasons. Some believe they destroy the nutrients in food, but science shows otherwise.
I'm of the ilk who believe you are more likely to eat healthy when it's easy. A microwave makes things pretty easy. So I use a microwave.
Taste is also important when it comes to eating healthy. You are more likely to eat something that tastes good, right? Granted, eating chocolate for breakfast may seem decadent. But research shows some chocolate is actually good for us. The key is to watch the fat and sugar.
This quick chocolate cherry oatmeal is full of nutrient dense ingredients – including unsweetened dark cocoa powder – without the eye-spinning gobs of sugar.
The cooked banana and warmed cherries add just the right amount of natural sweetness.
So enjoy and don't feel guilty!
This vegan and gluten-free recipe is full of nutrient dense ingredients - cooked banana and warmed cherries add just the right amount of natural sweetness.
Place frozen cherries in a small microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 30 seconds. Stir and cook on high for another 30 seconds and then set aside.
Mash banana with a fork in a large microwave-safe bowl.
Add oats, water, hemp seeds (or wheat germ), cocoa powder and cinnamon to the bowl and stir to mix.
Remove cooked oats from microwave and stir in 1/4 cup or more of plant milk (I use rice milk) to reach desired consistency.
Spoon warmed cherries over the top - include some of the cherry juice if desired.
Sprinkle with nuts and enjoy.
*Be sure to use gluten-free old fashioned oats and avoid using wheat germ if you are sensitive to gluten.
Hemps seeds add a slight crunch, while wheat germ keeps things creamy. Both provide additional nutrients.
The look of this recipe in the bowl as my wife prepared it to be photographed was so interesting – I asked her if she'd double it. My usual breakfast is microwaved old fashioned oats with raisins, brown sugar or honey and bananas and this looked so much richer and more colorful. The rich dark oatmeal topped with moist juicy cherries and nuts grabbed my attention and it was really tasty and healthy. Try it!
This oatmeal recipe looks fantastic! I love that its only sweetened with fruit!

Consideration of system performance is a key difference between novice and veteran, one of the interview, ask some performance optimization problem, it is easy to judge a candidate's work experience. Here is my performance optimization considerations, from the presentation layer, business layer, the three major aspects of the technical level to elaborate. This presentation will introduce elements of performance optimization.
Layer optimization of the performance of an important principle is to reduce the number of requests to the server and reduce the amount of data transfer per request, around this point will think there are many optimization methods.
The page cache, squid majority of open source products, oscache is also possible.
If the jsp, you can consider replacing the template into other frameworks, such as: velocity, freemarker etc., one can increase page response to the speed, you can force the programmer to write the page by model2 interaction.
According to the actual data to choose the appropriate means of communication, json, xml, or a server page and then sent to fight a good client.
Rational use of browser cache. But sometimes, is prohibited cache oh, such as some ajax operations.
Of course, the many roads to Rome, to "reduce the number of requests to the server and reduce the amount of data transfer per request" as the optimization of the core, still a lot of ways.


While the vampire "bloodlines" (First Stage, Lifecycle, and Second Stage) of the galaxy are now diversifying, with a generation time of several thousand years the process is relatively slow. Still, while the various vampires strains are easily recognizable as variations on a theme, the vast size of the galaxy has ensured that numerous variations have arisen.
The Warp Drive is the standard for most physical races; it avoids spacefield complications, the horrible risks of hyperspace or subspace, and quite a lot of other problems. Unfortunately, even the fastest (and exponentially more dangerous and power-hungry) Warp Drives require days per light year – while a Subspace Drive with a skilled pilot may require only an hour or so and is considerably simpler to build and maintain.
Sadly, Subspace Drives lead to the ships experiencing decades or centuries of time during the trip – and ships vanish entirely all too often.
Except, of course, for the ships of the Yytsuri.
Long centuries past, during the Yytsuri's first attempts to reach the stars, a wealthy research sponsor proved to be remarkably gifted. Zhir could not only coax incredible performance out of even a basic subspace drive, but could reliably pilot a ship through subspace, apparently tapping into the energies of that realm to enter partial stasis and so easily survive the trip. Zhir piloted between the stars for the years of a greatly extended lifespan, and even managed to train a few others to do the same – although whatever mysterious process Zhir used to do so had a high casualty rate. Still, there were always more starry-eyed youngsters eager to gamble death against a long, long, life of wealth, luxury, and a service to their people that no others could provide amidst the freedom of the stars.
Eventually the Founder, grown old at last, took Zhirs private ship into space and vanished between the stars – a tradition that those of zhirs successors who beat the odds of space to grow old in the service of commerce, exploration, and defense, still observe.
Adrift between the stars, shielded from the "subspace mines" and other "haunted ships" by Zhir's own projected aura, the Founder let Zhir's crumbling physical form slip away to at last begin the long process of melding with Zhir's ship – a task greatly eased by having a private ship, designed and built to Zhir's own specifications, and saturated with several centuries worth of personalized attunements.
And some three thousand years later, a new Yytsuri Vampire Core found a world inhabited by a species that might – given a little protection and subtle nudging across the next few millennia – begin to reach for the stars.
And so protection and subtle nudging was given – and when the flowering came at last, there would once again be research sponsors and potential pilots waiting.
And eventually, after many more centuries of expansion and piloting… some of those pilots would take their personal ships on one last voyage, to vanish between the stars they'd opened the path to – and to eventually become new Yytsuri Cores to repeat the cycle once again.
The Yytsuri "Bloodline" has – fairly obviously – reached near-full symbiotic status with it's host civilizations and has begun to spread fairly rapidly – at least by vampire core standards. It is, however, limited by slow recruitment (the desire that most "recruits" be willing and survive requires very careful selection of candidates and a lot of extra work), slow development (the desire for personalized ships calls for some very specific circumstances), and the need to locate and civilize suitable candidate-species.
Worse, of course, the Yytsuri may be helpful – but they push new species out into the galaxy and are not sufficient protection in themselves from the remains of other self-reproducing weapons. The galactic ecosystem is very dangerous, and pushing new species out into it is not always doing them a favor.
Disciplines: Cyberwarp (used to gradually attune ships systems to themselves), Electricity Master (fairly obvious), Entropic Blast (allowing fast drive startups), N-Space Adaption (to allow the use of subspace drives), and Subspace Piloting.
Traits: Breath of Puruza (used, among other things, for spacewalking, drastically slowing their subjective time while piloting through subspace, and detaching from their physical forms in a controlled fashion) and Cloaking (used to present the appearance that their ships are already hosting a Vampire Core or Haunt).
And I should now be able to get back to posting and answering questions here. Hopefully I can get caught up before something else comes up to interrupt.


FOSS4G-NA is an annual gathering for the community of people who work with, or are interested in working with, free and open source geospatial software. It brings together a mix of developers, users, decision makers, and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation for three days of workshops, presentations, and discussions.
We'll have three talks and a workshop. Details TBA.


Amlwch is a small village on the North East tip of the Island of Anglesey off the North Wales coast.
In the 18th & 19th century the copper mines on parys mountain were the largest in the world, with copper being exported to many countries from the small harbour at Amlwch port.
The need to export the ore resulted in the development of the port from a small fishing harbour to a location for the repair and eventual building of new ships.
This in turn resulted in the growth of smaller industries in the area and the migration of people to and from the area.
Even thought the mine and ship building industry is past it's peak the legacy maritime and chemical industry continues to survive in the area.
Some of the industrial and social history of the area can be seen from this web site. For more information please select from the menu.

Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi
For us non-Urdu-poetry-knowing types, some context on the title, courtesy of Indie Quill:
Hazaaron khwaishein aisi, ki har khwaish pe dum nikle.
Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle.
Literal translation:
Thousand desires like, that every desire over breath out
Many out my desires, but yet little out.
Sensible translation:
A thousand desires such that each is worth dying for.
So many have come to pass and yet seem so few.
Set in 1969, 1973, and 1975, the story follows three university students of contrasting backgrounds as they grow into adults trying to sort out what they want to achieve in or contribute to the world, contextualized the the very dangerous politics of the times. I say "very dangerous" because that's how it appears to me in the film, not because I have read up on early 70s Indian politics. In fact, I know very little beyond a basic sketch and what I have inferred from 70s films, so I'm sure there is commentary in this film that I didn't pick up on - but even just with the information the film provides, the political and social context seems very clearly ominous and messy. Siddharth (Kay Kay Menon) is the son of a retired judge but wants nothing to do with his parents' establishment lives and instead agitates within a student communist group and later moves to Bihar to work with Naxalites. Vikram (Shiney Ahuja) has a similar path that goes in an almost opposite direction, also eschewing his father's legacy, in this case Gandhianism and Congress Party allegiance,
Vikram's father after he is arrested during the Emergency. Not the most subtle characterization but still effective.
to fight his way into the upper classes and earn big money. Linking them is Geeta (a mind-blowingly natural and effective Chitrangada Singh) returns to Delhi after growing up in London. Her focus is neither as big-picture as Siddharth's nor as basely pragmatic as Vikram's. She follows her love for Siddharth to the village in Bihar, but she also goes back and forth to Vikram's world of Delhi money and power. She loves Siddharth but she needs the real resources, protection, and even mental calm that Vikram offers her over the years. I suspect you can imagine which of these three paths, which of these sets of desires, is the most workable, effective, and sustaining. These characters are beautifully written, with much scope for each to think, react, and change, and through them we can imagine the thousands of desires of the citizens of 70s India.
Two quotes from writer/director Sudhir Mishra describe perfectly what I got out of - and liked most about - Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi:
My father's generation loved him and wanted to believe in his dream and that we had a tryst with destiny. I did too. By the time my elder brothers and sisters (not that I had any) went to college in the late sixties, Nehru had died and his dream had soured. The baton has passed into the hands of his daughter, Mrs. Indira Gandhi. This is the story of my imaginary siblings' lives in those times...when India was being pulled in a thousand directions.
- from the introductory text of the film
The adult thing in life is that as much as you disagree with somebody you can't kill him. That's a mature world.
- from an article by Mishra at Passion for Cinema
Life is gray at best; sometimes it's very black, as the movie painfully shows. Even revolution can be gray, especially when it is snatched up by the corrupt and vicious to be used for their purposes. It creates chaos that cloaks power grabs and oppression that have nothing to do with ideals.
I think what impressed me most was how many points and ideas this film raises without having much actually happen. (Or maybe what happens is deceptively simple and I just didn't get it.) Despite revolution, despite emergency, the overall feel here is quiet, which lets many small moments really stand out without overt commentary. In Geeta's family's house, for example, any interest she has in changing the social order or involvement she wants with the larger world outside the home does not seem to play out as thoroughly at home, with her male relatives discussing the news in one room but the women clearly not involved.
In this scene, Siddharth's revolutionary group has met to plan their trip to Bihar; one by one most of the group members admit they cannot go due to family pressure or fear of endangering their chances at jobs, and when someone bursts in to say the police are coming, they all scatter, leaving Geeta, who has been silently sitting somewhat apart from them but still listening, totally alone.
It's as though the film is telling us who will remain after the dried leaves scatter off on the first winds. It's so gorgeous and important. Once in the village, Geeta starts an adult literacy class, and as the camera pans past some of her students, it's hard not to feel both wildly hopeful and somehow resigned to the unlikeliness of her goals.
And this particular stab by Siddharth at mainstream values made me laugh because it skewers directly into the patriarchal, unquestioning bloat of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham: Siddharth is railing against the misplaced goals of his generation, saying that life is not about success, or....
Take that, KJo!
I feel like if I try to say much more about this film, I'll burst it like a bubble. There's something so intimate about its scale, yet it manages to show so much. I can't say enough about Sudhir Mishra's PFC piece; it's the perfect companion to the film, whether or not you've seen it or even plan to. Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi is the kind of story every generation in a culture needs to tell or to think about. It's not necessary to agree or empathize with what the characters struggle with, but their efforts to make sense of themselves and of their time and place are universal. If you possibly can, this is how you should try to live, with your mind and heart engaged, thinking about other people while you try to figure out the best version of yourself.
I'm ending this post on a note the film itself does not deserve or even have anything to do with. If you have the Shemaroo DVD of this film and you need English subtitles, just go throw it away. Right now. My Hindi is still too wobbly to tell you whether the translations from Hindi are any good, but the direct transcription of the English dialogues - and I'd estimate about half the film is in English - are so wildly incorrect that it's hard to hope that the actual translations are any better. For example, the voiceover of the scene below says "The violence of the oppressed is right. The violence of the oppressor is wrong." Look what the subtitles tell us.
Subtitler folks, that's the opposite of what the movie said, and, even worse, that's an integral philosophy to some of the characters in this film. Most of the other ones are just foolish, rendering sentences into non sequitur WTFery rather than undermining the point. But still. These are even more badly done than in Fashion, and that is saying something. Those of you who follow me on twitter will have already heard some of the worst, but I'm repeating them just for spite.
Dialogue: "The effing landlord had a heart attack."
Subtitle: "The effigy landlord...."
Dialogue: "Our setup is a bourgeois feel-good scheme."
Subtitle: "Our setup is a bonjour feel-good scheme."
Dialogue: "I have just applied for my M. A."
Subtitle: "I have just a flight for Miami."
Are the subtitles transcribed by robots with imperfect language-detecting capabilities? For us English Dialogue Subtitle Purists, this sure seems like proof that no one reads these things before making the DVDs. I can only hope that it had better subs when it was screened at the thirteen international film festivals boasted on the DVD cover. Shame, Shemaroo. SHAME.

Love your review beth, it articulated all the things i would say! I think it was a really thoughtful film, and how haottt was Kay Kay in this! See i can never review an arty film like this without being teenagerly and saying "OMG KAY KAY N SHINEY R SOO CUTE!!" the subtitles seem terrible, shemaroo really need to hire ppl like us to translate the masala dialogues properly!
Amrita said…
Argh!!! If I'd known you were going to actually use my translation, the I might have googled it or something instead of pulling it out of thin air like I did.
*red face*

Shame Shemaroo Shame.
I loved the movie too, it was near perfect.

I've had this for a long time and not gotten to it...seems like I must. Hopefully it's not a Shameroo (what I call them) dvd...
Silent Melody said…
I loved the movie..It sure is in my favorites list..And the characterization was awesome..
Gee said…
I think the movie made some interesting points of privilege vs the children of privilege and how -in a sense- that privilege gives you the choice to think or have a social conscience etc. Reminds me of what someone at school once said about "Only the rich ever being Marxists today"
This movie also joins Requiem for a Dream in my list of 'Movies I Love but will NEVER see again'
ack! thats so badly structured.. what i am trying to say is about "the children of privilege vs the children of want"
Sujoy said…
I am really sorry to see this trend of Horridly wrong subtitles totally spoiling your movie watching experience ..
Another thing which I did not find in your review was about the music of Hazaaron Khwahishen..
It was certainly one of the best ones of the Noughties.. one of Shantanu Moitra's many gems...
U shud check out the Qawwali - Mann Ye Baanwra, and the awesomely soulful Baanwra Mann..
And needless to mention, I LOVE the movie. But again, like Gee mentioned, I don't think I'll be watching it again...at least not in 2010 :P
The problem with subtitles in many foreign movies not just Bollywood is it's cheaper to have them done by computer. The problem is a computer misses subtlety and nuance in spoken dialogue.
I loved this movie even with the horrible subtitles. The story is almost universal in scope; I knew people that fit the 3 main characters while living in Greece in the 70's. It's hard to talk about this movie without giving anything away to those who have not seen it because the ending says so much about the characters. I will only say that watching this film is a night well spent.
lovely review for a really good, low-key film. I came to it because of the music - Bawnra Mann is lovely, lovely piece, and I wanted to see the movie that had this song in it...and I was blown away by Chitrangada...such a pity she dropped out of movies after this (didn't she do something else recently?)

I agree, the Shemaroo DVD sucks! I just came across a VCD set brought out by Eros. The subtitles are just apt! You may want to check it out.
Hey Beth thanks for the awesome review:) just one thing- do you have any suggestions on where I can watch the movie online?
I limit my online options to legit uploads by DVD companies or film production houses (or other media companies, filmmakers, etc), so if googling doesn't turn up any of those, I don't know what to tell you. Sorry!

Q. For Hamilton, the genius of the proposed federal constitution is it creates a federal government of limited and enumerated rights. There are some things the federal government could do, for example, the regulation of commerce and the ability to wage war and protect national security, but for most tasks of government, the federal government was to leave things to the states or the people therein. A federal government limited in its scope is one more security for the rights of the people. Thus, for Hamilton, adding a bill of rights to the Constitution would be "not only unnecessary," but "would even be dangerous." This is because such a bill of rights
would contain various exceptions to powers not granted; and, on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why, for instance, should it be said that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? I will not contend that such a provision would confer a regulating power; but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible pretense for claiming that power. They might urge with a semblance of reason, that the Constitution ought not to be charged with the absurdity of providing against the abuse of an authority which was not given, and that the provision against restraining the liberty of the press afforded a clear implication, that a power to prescribe proper regulations concerning it was intended to be vested in the national government. This may serve as a specimen of the numerous handles which would be given to the doctrine of constructive powers, by the indulgence of an injudicious zeal for bills of rights. (No. 84)
In a limited government, there is no need to specify the rights reserved to the states or people, because all such rights and all powers, other than those expressly granted by the Constitution, belong and will always belong to the people and their state and local governments. What the federal Constitution and what the Federalist Papers were designed to do, was to preserve for the American people the most important political right of all: self-government.
R. Those who have understood that point have lavished praise on the Federalist Papers in superlatives that are almost embarrassing, except for the fact that they are correct. Thomas Jefferson describes the Federalist Papers as "the best commentary on the principles of government, which ever was written." Clinton Rossiter, in his 1961 introduction to the Federalist Papers, describes it as "the most important work in political science that has ever been written, or is likely ever to be written in the United States. It is, indeed, the one product of the American mind that is rightly counted among the classics of political theory." Jacob Cooke, another editor of the Federalist Papers, says the Federalist is "the most significant contribution Americans have made to political philosophy." In our era, as in the late eighteenth century, there is a great risk that our government will increase in power and the rights of property and self-government will be increasingly threatened. We can still learn much about political freedom from the Framers, and from Hamilton, Madison, and Jay.

Salomonglasögonfågel (Zosterops metcalfii) är en fågel i familjen glasögonfåglar inom ordningen tättingar.

Utseende och läte
Salomonglasögonfågeln är en liten tätting, med olivgul ovansida och under till gult på strupe och undre stjärttäckarna, men grå på buken. Kring ögat syns en tunn vit ögonring och ett litet och suddigt ögonstreck. Näbb och ben är mörkgrå. Populationen på Florida saknar den vita ögonringen och har istället röda ögon. Det vanligaste lätet är ett upprepat "peep peep".

Utbredning och systematik
Salomonglasögonfågelm förekommer i Salomonöarna. Den delas in i två underarter med följande utbredning:
 Zosterops metcalfii metcalfii – förekommer på öarna Bougainville, Buka, Shortland, Choiseul, Santa Isabel, Molakobi
 Zosterops metcalfii floridanus – förekommer på Florida Island (Salomonöarna)

Ofta urskiljs även underarten ''exiguus'', med utbredning i nordvästra Salomonöarna.

Status och hot
Arten har ett begränsat utbredningsområde och tros minska i antal, dock inte tillräckligt kraftigt för att den ska betraktas som hotad. Internationella naturvårdsunionen IUCN listar arten som livskraftig (LC).

Namn
Fågelns vetenskapliga artnamn hedrar Percy Herbert Metcalfe (1853-1913), brittisk läkare på Norfolk Island 1882-1913 men även naturforskare och samlare av specimen verksam i Salomonöarna.

Back last summer we decided to update our living room by sanding and refinishing the floor.
When we first converted the space a few years ago from what was originally a large garage we laid solid oak hardwood flooring. It was still in really good condition so we knew we didn't want to replace it, but it was starting to show signs of age. The room is south facing and has full width windows so it gets a lot of sun and the colour of the floor had gradually changed over time and acquired a yellowish tinge due to sunlight exposure.
Here are a couple of pictures of what it looked like before. As you can see it wasn't terrible but the polyurethane in the varnish had made it start to look quite yellow so we decided to give it an update, stripping it back to the bare wood and then refinishing it to achieve a paler, whitened oak effect.
Before hiring the sander we spent a day removing everything from the living room and taping up cupboards and doors to stop the dust getting inside. We also took off the skirting boards. Preparation always takes longer than you think!
Once we were left with an empty space the sanding could begin. As we were stripping back hardwood flooring rather than pine the hire shop recommended that we use a Bona Flexisand which has a rotating disc rather than a drum. When we tried it out we were initially impressed - it was much easier to manoeuvre than the drum sanding machines we've previously used. It also neatly captured almost all of the dust in a bag so there was hardly any mess, but unfortunately after half an hour or so of using the most heavy duty grade of sandpaper available it became obvious that it just wasn't going to do the job. The varnish was stubbornly refusing to come off so we reluctantly returned the machine to the hire shop and swapped it for a drum sander instead. This was a lot more effective (if noisier and messier too) and just 24 hours, and lots of hard work later, after finishing it off with an edging sander we had a pristine pale new new floor ready for refinishing.
I'd done some research into different finishes and reached out on Instagram to ask for advice and recommendations. My lovely followers were incredibly helpful and I received lots of useful suggestions from people who'd recently undertaken their own flooring projects.
Several people recommended soap and lye. This is often used for achieving a lovely pale Scandi Dinesen style effect on douglas fir flooring but can be used on hardwood too. I initially looked into using Auro Hardwood lye but this is best suited fairly low traffic areas though so while it would probably be fine for a bedroom or guest room I was worried that it wouldn't be hard wearing enough for the living room.
In the end we opted for Osmo Polyx Oil Tint in white (3040). This gives a pale whitewashed or liming effect and you can apply either one or two coats depending on how 'white' you want the finished effect to be. We applied two light coats to achieve the effect shown here.
I was really happy with the finish we achieved and would definitely consider using Osmo again on a flooring project in our new house. (This isn't a sponsored post by the way - I'm just sharing the product details because several people have asked me about it). The finish is water repellant and dirt resistant and you can apparently make spot repairs to specific areas or apply additional layers in the future without the need for further sanding.
The total cost of the project was around £400 for the products and the sander hire... plus a lot of labour. So it was an affordable way to give the room an update. We were really pleased with the results but I'm not sure it's a job I'd be in a hurry to tackle again myself. Sanding hardwood flooring is completely different from sanding pine floorboards. It's much more labour intensive. It was pretty tough to remove the varnish and it took two of us two days to finish the job (plus a couple more days for applying the oil tint and waiting for it to dry). It is doable but it's not a pleasant job and to be honest next time I would probably hire a professional to do it and save myself the trouble. But there's nothing like sitting back and admiring the fruits of your labour afterwards.
We'll be tackling more flooring projects throughout our new house. We'd like to use parquet in the living room but are thinking about using slate tiles for the hallway (which needs to be able to withstand muddy boot and paw prints) and are undecided about the kitchen and bedrooms as yet. You can follow our renovation journey here.

Postpartum Hormone Changes: Everything You Need to Know
They help prepare you to bond with and nurture your baby and return your body to its non-pregnant state.
Babylist editors love baby gear and independently curate their favorite products to share with you. If you buy something through links on our site, Babylist may earn a commission.
The first few weeks after having a baby can feel a little bit like a roller coaster. There are the highs, like seeing your baby's sweet yawns, coos and even burps, and the lows, like wondering how you'll make it through the day feeling so tired. One thing that can add to that roller coaster feeling? The shift in hormones that happens postpartum.
After you give birth your body undergoes a massive shift in the chemicals that control just about every part of your physical being. Some hormones, like those associated with pregnancy, fall rapidly. Others, those associated with feeding and caring for your baby, swing upward quickly. And all these super-fast changes can leave you sweaty, weepy and wondering why you're feeling like you're feeling.
Some of the key hormones that impact your postpartum experience are progesterone, estrogen, oxytocin and prolactin. Let's take a look first at the hormones that will drop rapidly once you give birth, progesterone and estrogen.
Progesterone: According to the National Library of Medicine, progesterone helps your uterus grow during pregnancy and prevents it from having contractions prematurely. It also helps prepare your body to make milk once the baby is born. Progesterone levels rise rapidly in early pregnancy and then remain high until delivery. After the birth of the placenta (where progesterone is made for most of pregnancy), your levels will fall rapidly, leading to both physical and emotional side-effects. Your body won't begin making progesterone again until your first menstrual cycle, so you'll have lower-than-normal levels until that point.
Estrogen: Starting in early pregnancy, this vital pregnancy hormone helps the uterus grow and aids in fetal development. Estrogen levels rise rapidly and peak in your third trimester, and once the placenta is born, your estrogen levels will fall rapidly. Estrogen tends to remain lower than your non-pregnant average during breastfeeding though your levels will rise gradually and be close to your normal when your baby is around six months old.
What Happens When Progesterone and Estrogen Levels Fall?
The estrogen and progesterone crash that comes immediately after birth can cause all sorts of surprising and sometimes uncomfortable side effects. Here's more on what you might experience:
One of the most well-known impacts of this hormone shift is the "baby blues." The baby blues refers to the moodiness, weepiness, irritability and emotional ups and downs that happen in the first weeks post-birth. Many birthing parents report crying for no reason, feeling elated and then, moments later, sad or irritable, and feeling like their emotions are out of control. "The baby blues are normal," says Mandy Major, a certified postpartum doula and founder of postpartum care company Major Care, "But they should not last more than two or three weeks." At this point, hormone levels should regulate enough to help you feel a little more even keeled but, if they haven't, or you find yourself feeling increasingly emotional or moody, it could be a sign of a postpartum mood disorder like postpartum depression or anxiety.If you have concerns, check in with your provider.
Postpartum night sweats
The fall of estrogen and progesterone also result in some physical symptoms that can feel surprising or uncomfortable. "So many moms I work with are surprised by how intense the postpartum night sweats can be," says Major. "It's not something we talk a lot about during pregnancy and can really catch people off guard."
Postpartum hair loss
Postpartum hair loss, which usually occurs around the 3 month mark, but sometimes later when you're breastfeeding, is another side-effect of your dropping hormone levels and can leave you feeling like your body still isn't quite your own.
What Hormones Rise After Birth?
It's not all bad news though. While the rapid fall of estrogen and progesterone levels can make your feel moody, weepy and sweaty, it turns out that the hormones of labor and birth, most notably oxytocin and prolactin, are designed to help ease your transition into parental caretaking. Here's how:
Oxytocin is a powerful hormone that impacts both the body and brain of all laboring, birthing and postpartum people. During labor, your body releases oxytocin, which both stimulates uterine contractions and activates the pleasure and reward centers in the brain. This activation means that birthing parents (and that babies who are soaked in the same oxytocin) are primed to bond and fall in love without one another when they finally meet at the end of labor.
While the oxytocin peaks of labor can't be matched postpartum, it continues to be released in significant amounts each time a baby is held skin-to-skin and especially when they breastfeed. "Oxytocin has a calming, pleasurable, feel-good impact on the birthing parent," says Dr. Sarah Buckly, a family physician, international expert on the hormones of labor and birth and author of Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: A Doctor's Guide to Natural Childbirth and Early Parenting Choice. "It also has a physical effect of the body, it turns on the parasympathetic nervous system, also thought of as the calm and connect, rest and digest system, and turns down the sympathetic nervous system; it makes [the birthing parent] more relaxed, more receptive and responsive to her baby and helps make more milk."
While this oxytocin bath is important, it's not something that all birthing parents will experience in the same way. If your baby was born via c-section or your labor was impacted by pain medication or medication to augment contractions, the lack of oxytocin can make it feel tougher to weather the emotional fluctuations of new parenthood. Birthing parents who had their labor augmented with pitocin (a synthetic form of oxytocin that causes contractions but does not impact the brain like oxytocin) and those who were separated from their baby at birth are more likely to experience postpartum depression or anxiety than those who had a physiological birth and remained in contact with their baby postpartum. But many people experience these things without any further issue. Regardless, it's a good idea to have a support system in place before baby comes, to allow for any variables. Having friends and family drop off meals, come walk your dog or even lining up a therapist just in case, may help you feel less overhwhelmed.
Prolactin has one major job: it helps your body make milk. Prolactin levels rise during pregnancy, surge after birth, and then remain high until you begin to wean. While prolactin doesn't seem to impact many other systems in the body, you'll likely notice colostrum leaking from your breasts in the days immediately postpartum and then feel your milk begin to increase in quantity 2-5 days post-birth. Prolactin levels stay high while you're breastfeeding and function to help delay ovulation in many breastfeeding people.
When Will I Feel Normal Again?
With dropping levels of progesterone and estrogen and surging levels of oxytocin and prolactin, your postpartum body might feel pretty unfamiliar at first. Usually, you'll start to feel markley less emotional within 2-3 weeks of birth and the physical symptoms of these hormone shifts (like night sweats) will disappear by about 12 weeks. If you breastfeed, you can continue to expect surges of oxytocin every time your baby nurses. And, while each person is different, the hormones associated with exclusively breastfeeding a baby can delay your return to fertility (and its associated hormone cycle) for at least six months.
What Can I Do to Make Postpartum Feel Easier?
While it's normal for big life transitions like having a baby to feel hard at times, there are things you can do to feel a little better during the tough parts. "Building a postpartum care team is important," says Dr. Buckley. "It can be difficult to imagine how vulnerable you may be postpartum and just how much your baby will need you. Having help and support during the first six weeks can make a significant difference in how you're able to heal and care for yourself and your baby."
