The Amber Light
By Alan Ng	| January 22, 2020
Science aside, there's also the cultural importance of whiskey. Scotland has a long history of poverty and economic depression and whiskey would be the one thing that brought the common folk together. Every family made whiskey and it was seen as something, not to be sold, but to be shared with your neighbors. Broom goes on to describe early experiences with whiskey as a rite of passage starting with his first drink with his father as a teen and then to a road trip with college friends.
Then there's the deep dive into how whiskey has integrated itself in the song, poetry, and writings of Scotland. Like whiskey, the songs of the Scottish forefather were never written down, but passed on from generation to generation improving and advancing over the years.
"…the deep dive into how whiskey has integrated itself in the song, poetry, and writings of Scotland."
The film then gets into the early medicinal practices of whiskey, when it was considered as an herbal cures for most illnesses. Finally, the politics of whiskey as some of the tribes or villages solved differences were solved over a bottle of whiskey.
The Amber Light a fascinating lesson into both the history and culture of Scotland and whiskey. I would say personally, I was riveted. The documentary, as a whole, is academic for the historian and sociologist in all of us and after the 45-minute mark Broom takes us even deeper into the lore of whiskey. I'll be honest, I started to get lost here. Not to say the film is bad, but my interest in the subject started waning. I'd say The Amber Light continues to tell an interesting story and continues to be interesting for anyone who wants to know more about Scottish history. Weirdly, the deeper you get into the subject, the thicker the Scottish accents become.
The Amber Light is recommended to anyone, who is interested in the origins of our favorites liquors. The documentary provides thorough research about the subject. If you have a passing interest in liquor and/or Scotland, the first half of the film will satisfy your thirst for the good stuff.

A report has it that Opel will cease offering the Ampera after next year's redesign of the Chevrolet Volt upon which the Ampera is based.
Following abysmal sales, the word given by two "people familiar with the matter" to Automotive News Europe confirms again 2016 is the year for the next-gen Volt, but the Ampera is being cut loose – although GM officially refused to comment on future product.
Launched in 2012, and named European Car of the Year, Ampera sales were reportedly good at first, but for 2013 they declined 40 percent to 3,184 units, and this year through May they declined 67 percent to 332 cars sold.
Volt fans have often expressed the Ampera was the more attractively styled of the two plug-in variants built in Detroit, but Automotive News cited a 2013 comment of frustration by then GM Vice Chairman Steve Girsky as to its market acceptance.
In Germany, Opel's home market, the GM product sold just 46 cars the first half of this year. That compares to 83 Ferrari F12s according to the German motor transport authority (KBA).


To Hack or Hacking, describes the act of riding a horse for light exercise. Usually it involves horse riding away from the premises through the bridlepaths, woodland and countryside. This is different from training or schooling, which is riding around a ménage.
The verb "to hack" or "hacking" is more commonly associated with English riding rather than in North America, where the term used is trail riding.
Most UK riding schools organize group hacks. This is where a small number of riders, either on their own horses or on rented animals, go for a short, relatively easy ride. These rides are usually geared for inexperienced riders.

Dermatophilus congolensis is a Gram-positive bacterium and the cause of a disease called dermatophilosis (sometimes called mud fever) in animals and humans, a dermatologic condition that manifests as the formation of crusty scabs containing the microorganism. It has been erroneously called mycotic dermatitis. Rainscald is another condition often seen in animals, which is also caused by D. congolensis.

Morphology
D. congolensis is facultative anaerobic actinomycete. It has two morphologic forms - filamentous hyphae and motile zoospores. The hyphae are characterized by branching filaments (1-5 µm in diameter) that ultimately fragment by both transverse and longitudinal separation into packets of coccoid cells. The coccoid cells mature into flagellated ovoid zoospores (0.6-1.0 µm in diameter). With the microscope, one can observe the characteristic "tramcar line"-like D. congolensis colonies together with Gram-positive thin filaments and coccoid forms.

Cultivation
D. congolensis is a carboxiphylic germ, so needs carbon dioxide to properly grow on laboratory media. The germ grows well on sheep blood-enriched agarose medium; the medium must then be incubated at 37°C and in a 5-10%  atmosphere. Colonies become visible in 24–48 hours. Initially, they are small, with about a 1.0-mm diameter and with a grey-yellow colour. After 3–4 days, the isolated bacterial colonies can reach a 3-mm diameter, and they have a rough surface and yellow-golden pigmentation. Beta hemolysis can be seen around the colonies.

Pathogenesis
D. congolensis causes severe skin infections in animals and humans. More frequently, cattle, horses, sheep, and goats are affected. Humans can also get this skin disease if elementary hygiene measures are not observed after dealing with infected animals. This dermatologic condition is known by many names - cutaneous streptothrichosis (on cattle, goats, and horses), rain scald (on horses), lumpy wool (on sheep), and strawberry foot rot.

The pathogenic factors are very diverse, but the most important ones are of an enzymatic nature (adenase and lecitinase).

Etymology and Discovery
From the Greek derma (skin) + philos (loving), Dermatophilus congolensis is a Gram-positive, aerobic actinomycete, and facultatively anaerobic bacteria. D. congolensis infects the epidermis and produces exudative dermatitis termed dermatophilosis that was previously known as rain rot, rain scald, streptotrichosis, and mycotic dermatitis.

In 1915, René Van Saceghem, a Belgian military veterinarian stationed at a veterinary laboratory in the former Belgian Congo (thus, the species name congolensis), reported D. congolensis from exudative dermatitis in cattle. Local breeders and veterinarians had observed the disease since 1910, but the causal agent was not identified.

BATON ROUGE – State Rep. Robert Johnson D-Marksville, today called for U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister to resign, not just for being caught on camera kissing a married staff member, but for "not doing his job."
Johnson said he sought McAllister's assistance in getting clearance for a $300 million Medicaid payment for health care in central Louisiana being withheld because the public-private partnership has not been approved and in fighting legislation seeking to close Huey P. Long Medical Center in Pineville. He still has heard nothing.
"The shame and humiliation that Congressman Vance McAllister has heaped on himself, his family, our congressional district and Louisiana are reasons enough for him to resign," Johnson said in an email. "The real reason that the Congressman McAllister should resign is because he is not doing his job."
Johnson said he sent a letter to McAllister April 17 "asking him for his help on a critical issue for Central Louisiana. In that letter, I explained that the Huey P. Long Medical Center in Pineville, a facility that provides people in central Louisiana with critically needed health care, was in danger because of a scheme by Governor Bobby Jindal to close the hospital and replace it with a dubious public-private partnership.
"I asked Congressman McAllister to lend his weight to my opposition to SCR 48 in order to keep Huey P. Long Medical Center open on behalf of the working poor of Central Louisiana. It's been 11 days since I wrote. As of this writing, I have yet to hear a word from him or his staff."
The state representative said that in past years he was able to call former U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander and although they didn't always agree on matters, Alexander of his staff would contact him.
"Congressman McAllister should resign because he's not doing his job," Johnson said. "He isn't communicating with other elected officials. He isn't communicating with his constituents. For all practical purposes, the people of our district are without representation in the United States Congress."
Johnson said "It is regrettable that Congressman McAllister has brought so much pain into his own family," but he believes "McAllister's neglect of his responsibilities as a Congressman, however, will create real and lasting damage in thousands of families in Central Louisiana. It's long past time for Congressman McAllister to do the right thing and resign from Congress."
Johnson, a Democrat, was a candidate in the special election in which McAllister, a Republican, was elected.
McAllister announced that he would not resign but would serve the remainder of his term and not run for re-election.
Asked if he was planning to run again, Johnson said "It's certainly something we have an interest in, but I haven't made a decision yet."
He said if McAllister is not going to resign before his term ends, "then be a Congressman. These are very serious issues in this district."


Think of term insurance as your family's safety net.
The best part about everything going digital is that now you can buy almost anything online, even a term insurance plan. You can search all the necessary information needed to make an informed decision about which plan to go with. All you have to do is fill a form and make the payment. Even medical examinations, if needed will be conducted at your doorstep as per your convenience.
A term life insurance policy is certainly easy on the pocket. It is considered to be one of the most affordable insurance plans. You secure your family's future by just paying premium on a monthly basis/yearly basis, and leave them financially secure even in your absence. Spend a small amount of your hard-earned money on a policy that promises security to your family even after you're gone.
The big bad tax monster spares no one, so if you are going to pay tax, you might as well find a few ways to save some of your money in a legit manner. Investing in a life term insurance plan gives you the benefit of tax savings. In our country, all premiums paid on life insurance plans are tax-free under section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Some more good news is that even the payout that your loved ones will receive, should anything happen to you, will be non-taxable.
Since these plans are very economical, it doesn't pinch your pocket to pay for it on a regular basis. It is a small price to pay when it comes to your family's protection and well-being. You must remember that in the long run, this policy will provide your family with the needed financial support in your absence which is immeasurably valuable. Extended life cover up to the age of 99 years makes getting this new life insurance plan a no-brainer.
Additionally, you can opt for including a health rider benefit which provides you security against life-threatening diseases like heart attack, cancer and other serious illnesses. You receive payment for treatment at the time of diagnosis and the term policy continues as is. Holistically, term insurance is always a comprehensive option for both you and your family with its low cost for you and high yield for your loved ones, when you are gone.


So you want to get started on Bulletin Board Systems? That's great! Here's a guide of Telnet Clients to help you get the best experience of Telnet BBS systems.
OS/2 and Unix (including Linux) users also have built-in Telnet clients. The Telnet client in Linux may not properly display "High ASCII" characters or ANSI colors correctly. Again, use a dedicated Telnet Client to help with your Telnet BBS experience.
These built-in (operating system based) Telnet clients work - but they are not ideal for the full BBS experience. Suggested Telnet clients are listed below. The most highly recommended are mTelnet and SyncTerm. mTelnet is good for OS/2 and Windows, SyncTerm is good for a variety of operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X). Both are freeware.
Traditional BBS systems (pre-Telnet) are accessed via regular telephone lines over analog modems. However, this requires "Terminal Software". Below are examples of Terminal Software for DOS and Windows platforms.
Note - Telix for DOS will work in Windows 95/98/2000/XP if you have a regular (non-Winmodem) modem installed.
Telix also has a Windows version for Windows 3.1/95/98/2000/XP, etc.

Megawati Soekarnoputri Asks for the Sanur Area to be Rearranged Like the Founding Fathers Bung Karno Era
DENPASAR, Balitopnews. com - The Fifth President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prof. Dr. (H.C.) Megawati Soekarnoputri reviewed the construction of the Sanur Special Economic Zone (SEZ), Denpasar City on Monday (Soma Paing, Langkir) January 16, 2023 with the Chairperson of the Indonesian Parliament, Mrs. Puan Maharani, Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) RI, Erick Thohir , Head of the National Innovation Research Agency (BRIN), Laksana Tri Handoko, Secretary General of the PDI Perjuangan, Hasto Kristiyanto, Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster, Mayor of Denpasar, IGN Jaya Negara, and Regent of Badung, Nyoman Giri Prasta. Megawati explained, the First President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir. Soekarno who designed the Grand Inna Bali Beach hotel in Sanur, Denpasar City and built it in 1963 for the sake of advancing Indonesia on the international tourism stage.
Megawati explained that when Bung Karno building Grand Inna Bali Beach, Bung Karno wanted all of his workers to be from Indonesia. Bung Karno even sent Indonesian children to a hotel school in Switzerland so he could manage Grand Inna Bali Beach properly.
In the development of the Special Economic Zone, one of which is carrying out the revitalization of Grand Inna Bali Beach, Megawati Soekarnoputri gave directions so that the renovation of Grand Inna Bali Beach does not change the structure of the initial building and still maintains local culture such as a strong relief of historical significance. "Hotel or house buildings cannot be taller than a coconut tree, that was Bung Karno's order. why? In order for Bali to remain in its condition as a beautiful area and based on local cultural customs," emphasized the Chairman of the Steering Committee for the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency while stating that Hinduism in Bali really loves nature, so this is what is called Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Concluding her remarks, the Fifth President of the Republic of Indonesia, Megawati Soekarnoputri, advised that, First, the Sanur area should be rearranged like in the Bung Karno era; Second, take care of Bali, so that the Bali that Bung Karno conveyed that Indonesia is green and royo-royo is like a string of emeralds at the equator; and Third, take care of the wealth of medicinal plants in the country, especially in Bali which originates from Lontar Usadha, especially since Bali in ancient times used Balian to treat all of them. "India and China are not shy about promoting their traditional medicinal plants. I have already discussed this with Pak Koster (Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster, ed) so that we can continue to look for and dig up our medicinal plants, the source of which is Lontar Usadha," She concluded.
BUMN Minister Erick Thohir explained that the First President of the Republic of Indonesia as well as the Founding Fathers Ir. Soekarno had seen Bali as having tourism potential and from the start Bali wanted to be the heart of tourism. So that the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Sanur, which has an area of 41.26 hectares, will be managed by us having health facilities in the form of the Bali International Hospital and international standard clinics in collaboration with the largest hospital in the United States, the Mayo Clinic. Then revitalize the Bali Beach Hotel or Grand Inna Bali Beach (GIBB), establish a convention center, ethnomedicinal botanic garden, and commercial center. Special Economic Zones for basic infrastructure have been completed 100 percent, such as roads, sidewalks, cabling, and pipes. For the hotel, progress has reached 35.58 percent and we hope that in 2023 at the end of August it will be completed at the same time as the botanical garden area. Then, Bali International Hospital which will be the first hospital to have a wellness area for road health, meditation, which is a trend that is happening today. "We have accelerated the development of the Bali International Hospital. Even though there was a delay of 8 months in processing the permit, we are targeting the construction of the Bali International Hospital to be completed in November," reported BUMN Minister Erick Thohir.
Of the 41.26 hectares, we will make 22 hectares or 55 percent of the land into a green area. So we really take care of all the trees in this area. We also maintain the values of Balinese Customs and Culture by developing an ethnomedicinal botanic garden based on Lontar Usada Bali or manuscripts of traditional Balinese medicine using local herbs in collaboration with BRIN and health figures in Bali. Ending his report, SOE Minister Erick Thohir asked Prof. Dr. (H.C.) Megawati Soekarnoputri for continuing to guide us in BUMN and providing guidance in developing BUMN as a national economic bastion, one of which is by returning tourism as economic growth and employment growth. "I also thank the Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster. Because from the start, given the opportunity by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, I immediately met the Governor of Bali, Wayan Koster, to agree to develop Sanur, which has historical value and potential as a basis for special economic growth," he concluded.

We started today with open hearts and thoughts for our dear fellow student Bev who passed away suddenly this week. Bev was booked in to join us for the class today and I believe she was there with us in spirit.
I had the pleasure of knowing Bev through our Zentangle classes on about 10 occasions. Bev was a lovely, kind and wonderfully creative person. We will miss you Bev.
The Borders class was a relaxing morning of exploring different tangles as borders. We created a 'border sampler' which can be used for future reference to create borders.
A tip when deciding on a border for a piece of art would be to reflect some element of the artwork in the border. This can bring the border into harmony with the art rather than competing with it.
The second part of the class was 'Embedded letters'. This is a technique described by Maria Thomas from Zentangle Inc in which words or letters are aura'd and embellished. The results were amazing! I love embedded letters – they can be used in such a great variety of ways – in journals, snail mail paper and and envelopes and they make a beautiful decorations for cards and gifts.
The first class for the year will be on "Borders". I've had several requests for this class and thought that the new year is a great time to explore this theme. Other requests have been for journals, so I'm combining both themes with a very relaxed start to the year. If you have a journal, 2019 diary or notebook and would like to decorate some pages with borders, then bring it along. If you don't have a journal, come along and decorate some tiles instead. It is up to you!
If you need any encouragement or motivation to start a journal visit UNESCO SIX exhibition at the State Library of New South Wales. This is an amazing collection of First Fleet Journals, WWI Diaries and notebooks. I visited there today. You can read more about this on the State Library website.
To book into the class, go to the bookings page and fill out the form. Looking forward to seeing you!
Happy New Year! Wow 2019 already. Last year was an amazing year. I gave plenty of Zentangle Classes and met absolutely wonderful people along the way. I am so grateful to Rick and Maria for creating, growing and nurturing the Zentangle community.
I have the schedule for Zentangle Classes on the Workshops page. Have a browse through and book into a class.

Cambodia was recognised as one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast Asia over the past decade, recording an average growth rate of around 7% annually. However, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a contraction in the country's Gross Domestic Product. Between 2010 to 2019, the country's growth was driven by the export of garments, agriculture, and tourism. Despite considerable progress, certain challenges continue to hinder Cambodia's trade potential.
With funding from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), International Economics Consulting Ltd. (IEC) provided technical assistance to Cambodia in the context of the Asian Development Bank's Country Partnership Strategy with Cambodia for 2019-2023.
The programme aims to support policy and institutional reforms to accelerate the structural transformation of Cambodia's economy and enhance its international competitiveness, especially within the context of recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The aim of this assignment was to develop an analytical study and formulate recommendations concerning gaps in Cambodia's policy, institutional, and regulatory frameworks for trade and trade facilitation; compliance issues relating to existing trade agreements; customs-related matters; non-tariff measures (NTMs), technical barriers to trade (TBT) and sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPS); border management; as well as infrastructure weaknesses.
According to our situational analysis, three interlinked development challenges were identified as impacting the trade and business environments in Cambodia, namely:
the weak enabling environment for investment and the development of small firms;
the various barriers that continue to inhibit cross-border trade; and
the unexploited potential of e-commerce and digital technologies.
These constraints reduce Cambodia's competitiveness across multiple trade sectors by increasing costs and restricting innovation.
Our recommendations were structured around the three key challenges identified and included:
Enhancing the Enabling Environment for Investment and Business: Among multiple other recommendations in this area, the Government has been advised to issue a sub-decree on the functioning of the Municipal-Provincial Investment Sub-Committees for reviewing and approving private investments and providing one-stop-services to investors; and issue a sub-decree on the implementation of investment law.
Creating New Sources of Growth Through Digitalisation: One of the key proposals made in this regard is for the Government to draft Data Protection and Privacy Laws in order to enhance trust in, and offer legal protection for, users of e-commerce, especially as it concerns cross-border trade.
Improving Trade Facilitation and Digitalizing Trade Processes: Among other various recommendations, the Government has been advised to facilitate paperless customs procedures and the e-payment of customs duties, taxes, and other fees. This can be accomplished by onboarding commercial banks into the Cambodia National Single Window, and by streamlining documentary procedures through the adoption of e-certificates.
At International Economics Consulting, we build tailor-made strategies for both import and export-oriented business solutions. We carry out sensitivity analysis and prepare detailed resource scheduling and standard performance dashboards to track the implementation process and financial ratio performance of your products and services. We help investors assess the opportunities in different markets, determine the feasibility and viability of projects, and benchmark the wider ecosystem to support business growth. We also assist clients in building economic indicators to analyse the trade flows and identify patterns, trends, and trade complementarity in value chains of goods and services between member countries.

Five people dead on Plymouth's streets and it's gone unnoticed
The number of rough sleepers dying on Britain's streets has gone up by 600 per cent - and the story in Plymouth is no different
Plymouth Live
The death of a man sleeping rough in Plymouth last year was among rising numbers across the country.
With the numbers of deaths spiralling by 600 per cent nationally in five years, one NHS doctor has said Tory austerity measures are "killing" the homeless on Britain's streets.
Dr Tim Worthley says people are dying needlessly, without dignity, slumped on pavements and in parks as a direct consequence of years of cuts to social housing budgets and mental health care, plus increased benefits sanctions.
In Plymouth, the police reported one death of a rough sleeper in 2017, a man aged 38. They also recorded the death of a man in 2016.
The council recorded the death of a female rough sleeper aged 37 in February 2016, and of a man aged 39 in May 2014.
And earlier this year there was another death. Polish man Henryk Smolarz died in the city centre aged 62 in March - his passing too recent to be included in the statistics.
The faces of Plymouth's homeless
According to Freedom of Information requests sent to every council and police force in Britain asking how many rough sleepers had died on their streets, over the five years to 2017, 182 have lost their lives in this inhumane way – 63 last year compared to 10 in 2013. On average, more than one person every single week.
However, just under half of councils weren't able to provide any numbers because they don't even keep records.
They are not required to – and rarely carry out a Safeguarding Adult Review on how the death could be prevented after a homeless person dies.
Dr Worthley, who leads GP practice Arch Healthcare for the homeless in Brighton, told the Daily Mirror he regularly begins his day with a call from the coroner informing him yet another of his patients is dead – and ends it fearing patients won't live to make their next appointment.
What it's like to live and die on the streets of Plymouth
He says: "It's insane, the number of people dying who really don't need to die.
"I am utterly convinced the government strategy to reduce the deficit, austerity, is killing people.
"I look at my patients and think we could have done something in the weeks before your death which would have prevented you from dying. The council, the community, providing somewhere safe to stay, providing more support around your drinking or substance misuse, providing more mental health support.
"But that wasn't provided and then you went on to use that lethal amount of drugs, or you spent too many nights outside.
"Every time I see someone I don't know if I will see them again," he adds.
In 2017, 4,751 people were estimated to be sleeping rough in England on any given night - an increase of 169% since 2010.
Seaside town Brighton was second only to Westminster, London, in the last count of rough sleepers.
But Dr Worthley, 39, explains the shocking numbers are just the tip of the iceberg.
They do not include the wider spectrum of homeless who died in often poor standard emergency accommodation, hostels – now in slim supply - or sofa surfing with friends and family.
He explains many deaths are due to drug overdoses, chest and liver-related problems – but generally, a combination of physical and mental health problems plus substance misuse; vulnerabilities all worsened by sleeping rough.
Tragically, the average life expectancy for a man on the streets is just 47 – and for a woman, 43.
"They had all those issues and they all kept getting worse," he explains. "Where do you begin? That's where they can be let down by mainstream services – especially at the moment, the NHS mainstream services are struggling to do even the basic stuff."
An enormous 70% of homeless people have personality disorders, or complex PTSD, the result of trauma when young – compared to 4% of regular society.
A recent report by homeless charity St Mungo's found an increase in those sleeping rough who have died with mental health issues, and has called for the government to include more mental health services in their upcoming rough sleeper strategy, due next month.

Dr Worthley agrees mental health support is too tough to access, and often his patients with substance abuse issues are turned down because their needs are "too complex".
"There isn't the capacity to manage that complexity anymore. You're screwed," he says, angrily.
"All those layers put in to support them have been stripped away one by one so these people have been thrown by the wayside. They are dying because of it."
He adds: "We spend a lot of time trying to talk people out of killing themselves.
"I often find myself saying to patients 'Please try and stay alive and we will hopefully find something for you.'"
In April the government passed its Homelessness Reduction Act which aims to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and eliminate it by 2027.
Money has been allocated to the worst-hit areas.
But Dr Worthley says after stripping millions away, what they are offering is a "drop in the ocean".
How to help the homeless in Plymouth
There are many groups and organisations in Plymouth doing their utmost to tackle homelessness.
And a lot of them are always on the outlook for more people willing to give up a bit of their time to help in any way they can.
One Devon charity, Shekinah, is seen as a lifeline to many of Plymouth's homeless, which is a number increasing each year. The charity's drop-in centre, soup run and employability services are all much needed.
If you have some spare time and would like to support Shekinah by volunteering, then there are many opportunities to do so, including kitchen support and reception work. Click here to apply.
2. Buy them a cup of tea and have a chat
We are all human beings, and people living on the streets are no different.
It can be very lonely, and a lot of people would welcome a chat and a warm drink. Just five minutes of your time can go a long way.
If you feel comfortable doing so, buying someone a hot drink or even a meal is an easy way of showing someone else some kindness.
3. Think twice about giving money
Not everyone who is begging is homeless and not everyone who is homeless begs for money.
Police officers in Plymouth say kind-hearted people give cash to beggars thinking they are helping those who are down on their luck and homeless.
But they stress many are actually drug and alcohol addicts who do have somewhere to live.
These people then, police said, simply use the cash to pay for more drugs and booze and put their health – and lives – at risk.
"We ask that if you feel compelled to give money, that you do so by giving it to charity," said PC Dave Ryland.
Don't know who to donate to? Shekinah, Path, Shelter, Crisis and Homeless Link are just a few.
4. Help someone wrap up warm
Cold weather conditions can prove fatal for people sleeping on the streets. The average age of death for a homeless person is just 47.
Homeless shelters need bedding, beds, blankets, medical equipment, food, toiletries, sanitary products, and if no one donated them, they'd have to buy them.
Donating to food banks also helps, because it can mean the difference between someone paying their rent with money rather than buying food and ending up homeless.
If you are organising a large collection of donations, call Shekinah to see if they can help with transportation.
5. Campaign for change
Homelessness is not an issue that's just going to stop overnight, but the problem is only going to get worse unless there's long-term change.
This could be changes in council or Government policy to enable the creation of more social or affordable homes for homeless people, or Government funding of the charities involved. Or it could mean changes in the law that need reviewing.
John Hamblin, CEO at Shekinah, is on a mission to end homelessness which is becoming increasingly harder with Government cuts and the cost of living rising – but he feels it can happen.
He said: "If we keep saying it will never happen – then it will never happen. People sleeping on the streets is wrong. I will strive to try and end homelessness."
Late last year The Herald focused its Big Debate on homelessness. The debate was hosted by the Herald's advanced content writer Sarah Waddington and focused on what causes homelessness, how the city is helping the homeless population and plans for the future.
She was joined by John Hamblin, chief executive of the city's biggest homeless charity Shekinah, Steve Ricketts, Plymouth City Council cabinet member for transport and housing delivery, and Gary Nash.
6. Donate to charity
Be it money or essential items, it will go a long way.
Shekinah is just one charity that needs your help, but there are many more. Donate today.

Psilocybe zapotecorum is a psilocybin mushroom which has psilocybin and psilocin as main active compounds. It is in the section Zapotecorum.

Etymology and history
It is named for the Zapotec Indians, who are native to the Sierra Madre mountains of Oaxaca Mexico, as well as the area they inhabited. According to Richard E. Schultes the Zapotec name translates as "Crown of thorns mushroom". Other sources give the Zapotec name as badao zoo translated as "hongo borracho", "drunken mushroom".

1956: Holotype collected August 4, 1956 in Santiago Yaitepec by Roger Heim and R. Gordon Wasson.
1957: Roger Heim and R. Gordon Wasson describe Magic Mushrooms with illustrations in "Magic Mushrooms" LIFE Magazine May 13, 1957.
1958-9: Roger Heim published the first scientific description of this fungus. Albert Hofmann also finds Psilocybin.
1963: Roger Heim describes this mushroom in the work "Les Champignons Toxiques et Hallucinogènes."
1976: Jonathan Ott and Gaston Guzman publish again about the fungus, but describe it as Psilocybe candidipes.

Description
Psilocybe zapotecorum has a farinaceous and raphanoid smell and taste.

Cap
The cap is 2–13 cm, conical to convex, and very rarely expanding to plane in age. The margin wavy sometimes with an acute papilla or mamilla, usually umbonate or with a depressed center. In young specimens the margin has a scalloped edge which sometimes curls upwards as the mushroom matures. The cap is yellowish brown to tan, fading to cream-yellow then brown and finally black through age. The flesh is originally white but soon changes to a cyan blue, then quickly to black.

Gills
Psilocybe zapotecorum gills are a cream color when young and violet brown in age, with an attachment that is sinuate or adnate, and sometimes subdecurrent.

Spores
The spores are dark violet brown, oblong to subellipsoid to subrhomboid, and thin-walled with a short apiculus and truncate germ pore. They measure (5) 6 - 7 (-8)  by (3-) 3.5 - 4.5 (-5) x 3 - 4 µm.

Stipe
The stipe is 3–26 cm long, and 0.5–1 cm thick. It is central, flexuous, cylindric or slightly flattened, and hollow. It can be white to grey, turning yellowish, blue, and black in age. The entire stem is covered with many white scales which are more pronounced in the lower part of the stipe. The partial veil is white and arachnoid, disappearing in age. Often a long pseudorrhiza can be found attached the base of the stipe. Strongly bruising blue then black where damaged.

Distribution and habitat
Psilocybe zapotecorum grows solitarily or gregariously, sometimes in cespitose clusters of around a 50 mushrooms. It is found near rivers, creeks and ravines, sometimes growing directly from steep mossy ravine walls. Psilocybe zapotecorum is also found in humid and shadowed places in mesophytic forests, oak-and-pine forests, or cloud forests.

Psilocybe zapotecorum is often found in subtropical forests containing Alnus sp., Magnolia sp., Fraxinus sp., Quercus sp., large pines, and blackberry bushes.

Psilocybe zapotecorum grows in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, El Salvador,  Venezuela, Nicaragua and Ecuador.

Nitric Oxide (NO) Instruments:
Nitric oxide (NO) is a colorless gas and one of the principal oxides of nitrogen. It is an important intermediate in industrial chemistry, forms in combustion systems, and can be generated by lightning in thunderstorms.
At levels of 100 ppm, nitric oxide is dangerous to health and can be lethal. In the U.S., the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have set maximum exposure limits of 25 ppm (30 mg/m3) over an 8-hour workday.

Why St. Peter's in Cairo was bombed.
Yet often overlooked are the very stringent and detailed Islamic rulings behind many terror attacks.
Take the recent attack on St. Peter's Cathedral in Egypt, which left at least 25 Christian worshippers—the majority of whom were women and children—dead and which ISIS claimed. While many might write it off as just a generic attack targeting Coptic Christian "infidels," the reality is that ISIS and other Islamic groups and individuals regularly find arcane and little known Islamic rulings to justify their violence.
For instance, why was St. Peter's specifically targeted? The obvious answer is that it holds a prestigious place among the Coptic Orthodox community, as it stands within the St. Mark complex, the seat of the Coptic Pope in Cairo, Egypt's capital. Yet there is another reason. In November 2014, ISIS called on its Muslim followers and sympathizers to attack all churches in Cairo.
The ruling concerning the churches that are in Cairo is that they be destroyed, according to the consensus of the righteous forefathers, because they are new under Islam, and Cairo is a new city whose original inhabitants were Muslim; there were no churches in it previously.
As for churches in Upper Egypt, which may have been in existence before the Islamic conquest of Egypt, these may remain but may never be renovated or fixed.
All this is related to the mainstream Islamic view concerning non-Muslim places of worship: if they existed when Islam's historic jihadis invaded the land, and if the native people surrendered peacefully, they may continue to exist (though never repaired); if, on the other hand, the native people resisted the invading Muslims, then all existing churches must also be destroyed as well. In neither case can new churches be built.
As it happens, modern Cairo was founded in the 10th century, nearly 400 hundred years after Islam first conquered Egypt. Thus, according to the Islamic worldview, under no circumstances should there be any churches in Cairo, since, according to this notion, it was Islamic from its inception.
Hence one of the reasons why St. Peter's in Cairo was chosen for bombing.
Such are the minute details and rulings that regularly inform the hostile worldview of ISIS and its millions of Muslim sympathizers.
But of course Western analysts may be excused for not knowing this arcane ruling. After all, if Sunni militants such as ISIS are zealous over the welfare of Sunni cities, most of them are forgetful of the ironic fact that Cairo—even Al Azhar, the world's most famous Sunni school—were founded by and served the interests of one of Sunni Islam's greatest historic enemy, the Shias of the Fatimid dynasty.


Decks and porches are a popular spot for family members and guests to hang out during the warm summers or springtime. A deck or porch serves as a great middle ground between the walls of your house to the open outdoors. You could also add deck materials such as an umbrella, patio sets, patio plants, or rocking chairs to increase the comfort of this space. However, because the deck or porch is outside and constantly exposed to the elements, it is not unusual that it would need repairs from time to time. Check out our cost calculator to get a free estimate on a decks and porch job. The prices are sure to be competitive with others.

An otolaryngologist, aka an ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor, may recommend medical therapy for those who are dealing with chronic sinus or nasal problems. However, if medical therapy fails to deliver the desired results, an ENT doctor may recommend sinus surgery.
Septoplasty Surgery: Corrects and straightens a deviated nasal septum (separation of the bone and cartilage that divide the nasal cavity in half). During septoplasty surgery, an otolaryngologist realigns a portion of the bone or cartilage in the nasal cavity. In some instances, a septoplasty is also performed in conjunction with a cosmetic rhinoplasty procedure.
Turbinate Surgery: Removes the turbinate tissue in the nose. Turbinates that become too large may make it difficult for air to pass through the nose. In this instance, turbinate surgery may be used to treat a nasal obstruction, resulting in increased airflow.
Balloon Sinuplasty: Relieves chronic sinus problems that cannot be corrected with medication, nasal spray or other traditional sinus treatments. A balloon sinuplasty is a minimally invasive procedure, and it is usually performed in an office and under local anesthesia. During the procedure, an otolaryngologist uses a small, flexible balloon catheter to increase the size of a patient's inflamed sinus opening. He or she then opens up a patient's blocked sinus passageways.
An otolaryngologist requests a patient evaluation before he or she recommends a sinus surgery. That way, an otolaryngologist can meet with a patient, learn about his or her medical history and sinus symptoms and offer a personalized treatment recommendation.
Endoscopic sinus surgery may be used to remove sinus blockages that can cause sinusitis, as well as sinus pain, nasal drainage and impaired breathing. The procedure often helps patients reduce the frequency and severity of sinus infections and improve airflow through the nostrils. It also helps patients improve their sense of smell and alleviate their sinusitis symptoms.
Some vitamins, herbal remedies and medications may increase an endoscopic sinus surgery patient's risk of bleeding. As such, an otolaryngologist may ask a patient to avoid certain supplements or medications prior to endoscopic sinus surgery. Also, an otolaryngologist may ask a patient to take antibiotics and/or steroids prior to treatment.
then uses specialized instruments to remove nasal polyps, scar tissue and natural blockages in the nostrils. If necessary, an otolaryngologist can remove turbinates during an endoscopic sinus surgery, too.
Endoscopic sinus surgery does not require any incisions; instead, the procedure is performed exclusively through the nostrils. Additionally, most patients can return home the same day as treatment.
There are minimal side effects associated with endoscopic sinus surgery. Some patients experience postoperative discomfort, congestion and drainage after surgery, but these problems generally disappear on their own within a few days of treatment.
An endoscopic sinus surgery provides a viable option to treat sinus blockages, and recent research indicates most patients experience significant improvement following endoscopic sinus surgery. For those who find traditional treatments fail to address their sinus blockages, meeting with an otolaryngologist may be ideal. An otolaryngologist can determine if a patient is a good candidate for endoscopic sinus surgery and help this individual permanently address his or her sinus problems.
The otolaryngologists at La Peer Health Systems can teach patients about sinus surgery and provide personalized sinus surgery treatment recommendations. To find out more, please contact us today at 855.360.9119 to schedule a consultation with one of our friendly, knowledgeable otolaryngologists.

The Lancaster County Conservancy is excited to announce nearly $30,000 in Water Week grants awarded to 8 local organizations/municipalities including Boys and Girls Club of Lancaster, Tri-County Conewago Creek Association, ELANCO Source Water Collaborative, Friends of Fishing Creek, Little Conestoga Watershed Alliance, Penn Township, Stone School, and Octoraro Watershed Association.
"Our vision from the outset of Water Week is to put money on the ground to fund the community groups that are doing the hard work of managing Stormwater and cleaning up our streams and rivers. These awards are part of that commitment. In two years we've raised $80,000 for on the ground implementation thanks to our sponsor businesses and community partners" said Fritz Schroeder, Coordinator of Lancaster Water Week.
Boys and Girls Club – Rain Gardens on South Duke Street – Newly established rain gardens will bring aesthetic improvements, provide conservation education to residents, recognition opportunities, and most importantly, collect, retain and manage storm water.
ELANCO Source Water Collaborative – Drinking Water Day – hands-on, all day educational event for students from the Garden Spot School District and One Room Schoolhouses in the Terre Hill area.
Little Conestoga Watershed Alliance – East Petersburg Stormwater Demonstration Park – convert the site into a Green Infrastructure BMP Demonstration Area, which will transform the site into a sustainable landscape where environmental education takes place and people can enjoy nature.

Penn Township – Rain Gardens & Riparian Buffer – The rain gardens are part of the Township's Sustainability Park, which is located on the Authority's water treatment plant property along with a 750-foot stretch of tributary to the Doe Run. The Park is used as an educational center for adults and children to explain the importance of protecting source water, demonstrate model stormwater BMPs using native pollinator plants, and to encourage enjoyment of nature.


Did You Get a MIC or MIP in Tempe?
Minor in consumption (MIC) and minor in possession (MIP) are very similar; both misdemeanors and both involving minors and alcohol. While a MIC is used to limit consumption of alcohol by minors, a MIP focuses more on minors trying to enter establishments selling alcohol or stopping them from trying to buy alcohol. Both can lead to a misdemeanor charge that can stay on a person's permanent record, as well as possible jail time, fines, and other penalties like suspension of driving privileges.

California is Withdrawing All Investment Funds from Coal Mining Companies
Gary Bentley
The California State Assembly passed a bill this week causing all state public employee pension funds to divest from coal, reported ThinkProgress. This bill is a huge blow to destructive coal companies that get rich from destroying the environment.
In a landslide 43 to 27 vote, the state Assembly voted that the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) and California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) must remove all holdings from companies that receive at least 50 percent of its revenue from coal mining. Collectively, CalPERS and CalSTRS are responsible for $476 billion in assets.
"Coal is losing value quickly and investing in coal is a losing proposition for our retirees; it's a nuisance to public health; and it's inconsistent with our values as a state on the forefront of efforts to address global climate change," said California Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León, who introduced the bill. "California's utilities are phasing out coal, and it's time our pension funds did the same."
The bill is now on its way to California Gov. Jerry Brown's (D) desk, who is expected to sign it. Brown has been on the forefront of California's fight for the environment. If consistent, small steps like this bill will eventually equal great strides in the fight against climate change.

Sint Petersburg - Russia
41st Floor is located In the vibrant center of Saint Petersburg, and contains a very diverse kitchen. The restaurant has opened a couple of months ago, with the open kitchen as one of the most important characteristics of the company. Moreover, given the fact that the restaurant is located on the 41st floor of the Leader Tower, an astonishing view over the city of Saint Petersburg is the result. The city has developed into a popular tourist attraction with its 18th and 19th century architecture.
41st floor and Jess
The atmosphere in the restaurant can be described as modern and atmospheric, and the design furniture of Jess Design have found their way into the interior. At 41st Floor, we are represented with couches, dining chairs and bar stools. Amongst other design furniture our RAZ couches and RAZ chairs, designed by Hans Daalder, can be found in the restaurant.
The natural materials and smaller frames give the restaurant a lively atmosphere. In the end, this results in a pretty image, with an important role for the architects of Archpoints. A restaurant that, partly because of Jess Design, literally and figuratively can rise towards big heights
of Jess
Jess's own home has always been in the city of Oss, where our design and production processes are located to this day. A true Dutch product! Our showroom displays all of our models and furniture families, and this is where you get to see, feel and really experience Jess.
