After many years of making home remedies eczema has been one of the conditions that we have been asked to look after the most.
I am not sure if there is such a thing as an eczema miracle or not, but certainly essential oils make the perfect way to have a go at curing eczema naturally.
As the years have gone on we have realised that there are so many different aspects to the condition and we have developed the ranges according to the type of eczema and treatment relative to its type.
So to make things as easy as possible I have listed the different pages for you to visit here.
Dry, Itchy Eczema, that is very flaky. Ideal for elbows and knees.
My eczema has always just added to my insecurities.
To be honest, I'm a bit embarrassed how much I have always worried about people looking at the patches on my legs and arms.
I say embarrassing because it's vanity really. My skin really isn't that bad, especially when you compare it to some of the poor souls that we have treated over the years.
That doesn't mean that it's not itchy. Lord, I can't tell you, there is this patch on my shin that can be absolutely agony.
I turn into this frenzied creature and I just can't think of anything else but scratching!!
Eczema has blown the cover that I try to maintain of being a lady more times that I want to remember!
I can't tell you how glad I am to have found an end to the ridiculous scenario that I am sure every poor victim of eczema will be able to relate to.
my eczema really can be quite persistent, regardless of whether it is hot or cold weather.
That means that it can be pretty bad in the cricket season when I want to be sunning myself at the match....bad news!
The hair, the make-up, the posh frock.... it all goes towards this fantastic work of art that is my "out-on-the-town" me.
I have spent years trying to perfect this outward persona of a woman of the world... you know, a bit cultured, coolish, a bit giggly and flirty. I work the room, holding my drink just so, The stupid thing is that I have always had mums eczema ointment and just taken it for granted because it was under my nose. (Isn't that always the way?) I feel a bit foolish really not using it.
I mean really, why suffer.
After all I have seen literally hundreds of people come back year after year swearing by how much good it has done them. Sometimes I really can be ridiculous!! I don't know why I haven't been using it. I think almost relished my skin problem in some kind of weird way!
The turning point for me was when my baby was born last year.
My eczema has been getting worse because I was am completely exhausted and really eating a pretty rubbish diet. Having a house with two teenagers and a baby means that I often forget to look after myself. Everyone else comes first, which I know is pretty daft but I like it that way.
Predictably the outcome is that my health suffers and the eczema is the first thing that takes gets me in its grips.
I finally grabbed a pot as a desperate last ditch attempt to cool the itching in the vague hope that I might at last get an hours sleep about 3 months ago. I have to admit I slathered it on quite thickly and then just collapsed into bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up a couple of hours later, I was stunned.
Not only had the itching got better.
The spots that had broken from my frantic scratching had scabbed over.
The redness was now pale pink and the skin had gone kind of smooth and waxy. The flaky scales had gone.
I have to say....I'm pretty impressed, and really I am the last person that should be aren't I?
I am really excited now though. The cricket season is round the corner and I should be able to be a yummy mummy and wear Whatever I want to without worrying about how my skin looks. In fact I have a fabulous black and white spotty dress I can't wait to wear which I would have been far too self-conscious to wear before.
All the redness and dryness has gone. In fact you can't even see where the patches have been. The ointment has completely repaired it.

Scottsdale Charros give so Arizona Helping Hands can reach more
An idea born in a garage 20 years ago has blossomed to disrupt the oftentimes difficult circumstances of the 15,000 children apart of the Arizona Foster Care System.
Arizona Helping Hands offers Arizona children in the foster care system with necessities for their daily lives.
Arizona Helping Hands began in Scottsdale resident Kathy Donaldson's garage, growing over 14 years to an 8,000-square-foot facility in the Scottsdale Airpark. Soon the organization will move into its own 18,000-square-foot facility in Phoenix at 3110 E. Thunderbird Road.

What began as a local outreach effort has now emerged as an intricate part of providing safe environments and the comforts of home to children who may have never experienced the love and support of a family at all.
"Arizona Helping Hands mission is to provide basic needs to these kids to make their lives a bit safer and more comfortable," said Arizona Helping Hands President and CEO Dan Shufelt.
Mr. Shufelt points out the generosity of the Diane and Bruce Halle Foundation has fueled the relocation efforts expected this fall to the new Phoenix location.
"Our primary program is providing foster families with beds and cribs to give children a safe place to sleep. Many times children are moved from their familiar surroundings to a relative's house or a foster home without advance warning," he said.
Mr. Shufelt explains children placed in state custody typically find themselves living with willing relatives who have open homes and hearts, but little else to offer.
"Recipients are many times not prepared to take in kids, so children who are moved due to abuse and neglect, facing so many other issues don't even have a place to call their own—a bed," he said.
"We will provide more than 3,000 beds and cribs to children in 2018, along with clothing, diapers, personal care packages and birthday gifts. All of these items will help foster families who choose to open their hearts and homes to make these kids' lives a bit more normal."
Over the last several years Arizona Helping Hands was widely expanded its reach to children and families in need across the state.
"We shifted our mission in 2013, during the height of the foster care crisis in Arizona, to assisting children in foster care," he said. "In 2013, we provided 44 beds and cribs to boys and girls. In 2018, we are on pace to provide more than 3,000 beds and cribs to provide a safe environment. As we have grown and our reputation has expanded, we have made connections outside of Maricopa County to assist children throughout Arizona."
If you offer it, people will come, Mr. Shufelt explains."Families travel from all over Arizona to receive the items we provide," he pointed out.
"It is challenging for grandparents who are living on fixed income to take in and care for grandchildren who have been removed for cases of abuse or neglect. But what grandparent is going to say 'no' to the Department of Child Safety when that call for help comes? Almost half of children in foster care in Arizona are in kinship placements — with relatives, family friends."
Turns out a generous family member doesn't translate to government assistance, Mr. Shufelt says.
"These providers receive no government assistance for caring for children in foster care," he said. "We help the transition and do everything we can to lend a hand."
The Charro connection
To help this growing need, the Scottsdale Charros have been regular supporters of the Arizona Helping Hands mission. This past year, The Charro Foundation provided a $10,000 grant to help expansion efforts at Arizona Helping Hands, a 501(c)3 nonprofit.
Jason Heetland
"The Charros believe in the service to the most vulnerable populations in our community," said Scottsdale Charro Jason Heetland.
"Providing emergency services to help foster children is so rewarding and is a beautiful thing to do. The AHH leadership is one of the most passionate and caring teams I have run across. They live and breathe their mission and it is an amazing feeling to support organizations like AHH."
For 56 years the Scottsdale Charros have been in constant pursuit of improving the lives of Scottsdale residents while preserving the community's ties to its western heritage.
Mr. Shufelt says Charro dollars fuel efforts to help children in-need wherever they may be in the Arizona Foster Care System.
"As the largest provider of material needs for the foster care population, we continue to expand our services to fill voids," he explained. "Most recently, leadership at the Department of Child Safety informed us of a recognized need expressed by children in group home settings."
The ability to protect one's cherished belongs is a quality of life many of us take for granted, Mr. Shufelt explains.
"Teens living in congregate care have stated worries about the security of their belongings," he said.
"We stepped up with a new program and now provide Foster Footlockers to teens to give them a place they can lock up their most treasured possessions — maybe one of the few family photos they have been carrying around on their life journey."
Mr. Heetland agrees Arizona Helping Hands is making a difference to one of the most vulnerable populations in Arizona: children.
"Arizona has one of if not the highest populations of foster children and teens. AHH's expansion will help the organization reach and serve more individuals," he said. "AHH gives foster children and foster guardians both the necessities like beds, diapers and food as well as the kindness all children deserve to get through some pretty tough circumstances."
Without support from The Charro Foundation some Arizona Helping Hands efforts would have to be curtailed, Mr. Shufelt explains.
"The Charros have supported Arizona Helping Hands with grants for multiple years," he said. "Funding from the Charros continues to allow us to serve the needs of children. Our birthday dreams program was expanded in 2017 with the help of the Charros grant to include birthday gifts for teenagers. For a teen's birthday we will provide a rolling duffel bag, together with $50 worth of gift cards and an inspirational book, such as 'Marvels of the World.'"
Mr. Shufelt contends at Helping Hands a positive message is reinforced through the idea of hope and a bright future ahead of every child.
"Our message is that your life is ahead of you, never cut yourself short because you can do anything," he explained.
"In the first full year of this program expansion we will provide gift packages to 700 teenagers, a group that is too often written off and forgotten about. They won't be in large part thanks to the support of the Charros."

South Korea's most wanted man
The body of a fugitive billionaire, wanted in connection with a deadly ferry accident, is found
by S.C.S. | BEIJING AND SEOUL
FOR some, the news that Yoo Byung-eun, a South Korean billionaire, has been found dead will not bring closure to the country's biggest tragedy in years. He had been the prime suspect in a ferry tragedy in which 304 passengers, many of them children, drowned on April 16th (ten bodies are still unaccounted for). He had, for ten weeks, evaded thousands of police officers in a huge nationwide manhunt. Families of the victims, camped outside the National Assembly, in Seoul, on the ninth day of a hunger strike, said they felt "confused"; some were even "indifferent".
Through a network of complex cross-shareholdings, Mr Yoo owned and managed Chonghaejin Marine, the firm that operated the Sewol ferry. Lax safety standards and shoddy work on the ship are thought to have caused the boat to capsize and sink on its way to the island resort of Jeju. Police have arrested Mr Yoo's wife, brother and daughter (who is currently fighting extradition in France). But Mr Yoo vanished. Two raids on the headquarters of the Evangelical Baptist Church, a sect that Mr Yoo headed, yielded nothing.
Police have now identified a body, found on June 12th in a plum field near Mr Yoo's holiday home in the city of Suncheon, about 300 kilometres (190 miles) south of Seoul, as that of the fugitive businessman. The corpse was badly decomposed. It has taken weeks for police and forensics to compare the corpse's DNA with that of Mr Yoo's brother, and then to match it to DNA from the Yoo family holiday home. Fingerprints taken from the body have, say the police, confirmed his identity.
A tip-off led police to Suncheon on May 25th, but Mr Yoo had already fled. That suggests he had been dead two weeks at most when his body was found. A second autopsy is now under way to determine the cause of death.
Police said that empty bottles of Korean alcohol (soju, a potato liquor, and makgeolli, a rice wine) were scattered around the corpse—as was, oddly, a bottle of squalene, a health supplement made of shark liver oil and produced by one of Mr Yoo's most successful money-making ventures. A bag nearby contained a copy of Dreamlike Love, the memoirs Mr Yoo wrote when he was imprisoned for four years on charges of embezzlement, in 1991. He was, strangely, found wearing a snazzy winter jumper, though it is the height of Korea's sultry summer.
In the emotional climate following the ferry disaster, not everybody believes the body was Mr Yoo's. "It's all fake", says Kim Byong-kwon, who lost a daughter in the ferry accident and who represents the victims' families. Such suspicions are testimony to how low their trust in Park Geun-hye's government has sunk in recent months. Even prosecutors suggested last month that the manhunt was proving so tough because Mr Yoo had planted cronies in ministries and the police. Other sceptical citizens are gathering on social media sites. One Twitter user commented: "If you're going to write a novel, you have to make it credible". Another wondered why it took 40 days to find a fingerprint. The Evangelical Baptist Mission has rejected reports that Mr Yoo is dead. Mr Yoo never drank, it says, and never went anywhere alone.
Prosecutors charged with tracking down Mr Yoo say they already have plenty of evidence to prove that Chonghaejin Marine and its affiliates are guilty of corruption and embezzlement (and in South Korea, the state and the media still act as if you are guilty until proven innocent). Over 300 people, including members of the Yoo family, surviving crewmembers of the Sewol and coastguard officials, have been lined up for investigation. The inquiry will rumble on, regardless of Mr Yoo's death.

The 1909 Chicago Cubs season was the 38th season of the Chicago Cubs franchise, the 34th in the National League and the 17th at West Side Park. The Cubs won 104 games but finished second in the National League, 6½ games behind the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Cubs had won the pennant the previous three years and would win it again in 1910. Of their 104 victories, 97 were wins for a Cubs starting pitcher; this was the most wins in a season by the starting staff of any major league team from 1908 to the present day. The 104 wins was the most by any team in Major League Baseball history by a team that failed to finish first—a record that would be unbroken for more than a century. The record was equaled by the 1942 Brooklyn Dodgers and eventually broken by the 2021 Dodgers, who won 106 games but finished a game behind the San Francisco Giants in the NL West.

The legendary infield of Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, Frank Chance, and Harry Steinfeldt was still intact, but it was the pitching staff that excelled. The Cubs pitchers had a collective earned run average of 1.75, a microscopic figure even for the dead-ball era. Three Finger Brown was one of the top two pitchers in the league (with Christy Mathewson) again, going 27–9 with a 1.31 ERA.

How To Survive the Ugly Side of Summer
We spend all winter waiting for it... and for some of us, suffer miserably through it. I'm talking about summer. There is definitely an ugly side to our favourite season that we grin and bear! I'm talking about allergies, mold and mosquito bites. Don't spend the entire summer inside hiding from what ails you...I've got solutions to all of the summer blues!
First Homeopathic Mosquito Repellent Pill Enters the U.S. Market
In Erin's homeopathic research she came across a study from the 1960s that proved that a combination of homeopathic remedies would help to keep mosquitoes, ticks and other blood sucking insects at bay. She began selling the remedy in her clinic and when clients kept on coming back for more, she realized that it was time to share her product with the world...
MOZI-Q: Taking back the outdoors--For Real
In the latest issue of Birth of a Mother Magazine, we decided to show everyone our favorite all natural or DIY sunscreens and insect repellants. Unfortunately we missed one very important, we didn't receive their images and samples on time, so they did not make the issue – however I would like to remedy that now. They are a very effective, Calgary based and made insect repellant called MOZI-Q.
New pill promises to ward off mosquitoes
The first oral bug repellent is hitting the shelves in Canada this summer. Calgary's Erin Bosch has created the bug repellent in pill form called Mozi-Q.

"It's made of five different flowers," says Bosch. "The mosquitoes will fly around you but then they ju…
How to never again get attacked by an insect (black flies, mosquitoes, horse flies, even lice)
I've been exercising and working outdoors all spring, in clouds of black flies, and I don't have a single bite. In a normal year, my face, neck and arms would be covered in red welts that itch and burn and swell, in spite of wearing long sleeves AND a ridiculous hat made of netting that the bugs always infiltrate. (Once you've got a black fly INSIDE your net hat, you're just a big meat sandwic...
Homeopathic Bug Bite Bustin'
In Calgary, there is a teeny tiny window of bug-free evenings that happens in early spring when you sometimes get warm temperatures in the day and the heat remains for at least a couple of hours past dinnertime. For those of us who are bug-repulsed either by their presence or their bite, we are in bug-free nirvana for maybe a week tops.
Mozi-Q Loved by Carson Authur
TV Landscape Designer, Carson Authur, featured on CityLine, HGTV and The Shopping Channel loves Mozi-Q! Here's what he's saying...
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that is holistic, scientifically based, safe to use, inexpensive and curative of acute and chronic disease. Samuel Hahnemann founded it over 200 years ago, although the principles on which it is based have been utilized in healing for thousands of years.
Helpful Guidelines for taking Homeopathic Remedies
The potency of a homeopathic remedy is its strength. Potencies range usually from 3x or 3c progressively up to M, CM, and LM potencies. When self-prescribing without the benefit of professional advice, use lower potencies like 12c.
Local product Mozi-Q approved as bug repellent
A Calgary business that aims to bring traditional homeopathic remedies to the mainstream public has received Health Canada approval for its first locally developed product. Mozi-Q is a natural mosquito repellent created by Calgary-based Xerion Dispensary. The product, made from a plant-derived substance called staphysagria, is taken orally and is advertised not only as a bug repellent, but as a product that will also lessen the stinging and itching associated with insect bites.
In Love with Mozi-Q as a Mosquito Repellent! A Testimony
I am in love with this product! I went for a hike in a heavily wooded area with my family over the Mother's day weekend. Mosquitoes LOVE me, and I get huge red bumps that itch like crazy! I get bitten standing at the bus stop in the heart of downtown, so I'm always nervous doing anything outdoors, or even standing near a grassy area! (I'm SO fun during summer, I know. .) Halfway through the hike, my family started to complain about getting bitte…

Description: OpenSS7 SIGTRAN Documentation for SCTP.
This section includes documents that are common to the Signalling User Adaptation Layers. Some are only applicable to SS7, some are not.
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network such as IP. It is designed to transport public switched telephone network (PSTN) signaling messages over the connectionless packet network, but is capable of broader applications.
This memo defines the Management Information Base (MIB) module which describes the minimum set of objects needed to manage the implementation of the SCTP.
The Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network such as IP. It is designed to transport PSTN signaling messages over the connectionless packet network, but is capable of broader applications.
This memo describes an extension to the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) that allows an SCTP endpoint to signal to its peer that it should move the cumulative ack point forward. When both sides of an SCTP association support this extension, it can be used by an SCTP implementation to provide partially reliable data transmission service to an upper layer protocol. This memo describes the protocol extensions, which consist of a new parameter for INIT and INIT ACK, and a new FORWARD TSN chunk type, and provides one example of a partially reliable service that can be provided to the upper layer via this mechanism.
This memo describes an extension to the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) RFC2960  that allows an SCTP endpoint to signal to its peer that it should move the cumulative ack point forward. When both sides of an SCTP association support this extension, it can be used by an SCTP implementation to provide partially reliable data transmission service to an upper layer protocol. This memo describes (1) the protocol extensions, which consist of a new parameter for INIT and INIT ACK, and a new FORWARD TSN chunk type (2) one example partially reliable service that can be provided to the upper layer via this mechanism.
This document describes extensions to the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) [RFC2960] that provides a method to reconfigure IP address information on an existing association.
This document is a compilation of issues found during six interoperability events and 5 years of experience with implementing, testing, and using SCTP along with the suggested fixes. This document provides deltas to RFC 2960 and is organized in a time based way. The issues are listed in the order they were brought up. Because some text is changed several times the last delta in the text is the one which should be applied. In addition to the delta a description of the problem and the details of the solution are also provided.
Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) currently uses an Alder-32 checksum. For small packets Adler-32 provides weak detection of errors. This document changes that checksum and updates SCTP to use a 32 bit CRC checksum.
This document describes the applicability of the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). It also contrasts SCTP with the two dominant transport protocols, User Datagram Protocol (UDP) & Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and gives some guidelines for when best to use SCTP and when not best to use SCTP.

This document describes the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP). SCTP is designed to transport PSTN signaling messages over IP networks, but is capable of broader applications.
SCTP is a reliable transport protocol operating on top of a connectionless packet network such as IP. It offers the following services to its users: acknowledged error-free non-duplicated transfer of user data, data fragmentation to conform to discovered path MTU size, sequenced delivery of user messages within multiple streams, with an option for order-of-arrival delivery of individual user messages, optional bundling of multiple user messages into a single SCTP packet, and network-level fault tolerance through supporting of multi-homing at either or both ends of an association.
The design of SCTP includes appropriate congestion avoidance behavior and resistance to flooding and masquerade attacks.

The Yutyrannus is an amazing tame, especially in a group of 3-6. Its stat-boosting roar is overpowered if you have buddies with you riding the other ones, because if they all roar, it can result in a massive stat boost!
This dinosaur has a roar that buffs allied dinosaurs stats in combat, it can scare off enemies and make wild carnos allies temporarily. It's also particularly powerful and can be mounted.
Once tamed, upgrade stamina if you chose a low level individual. Their roar takes a lot of stamina, so higher levels are recommended. If you can get a lot, you can position them surrounding your base, and they will roar at any attackers that come too close, weakening them and even scaring them off.

Addressing the City Club of Chicago on Dec. 9, House Speaker Madigan said increasing Illinois' income tax rates to those in place after the 2010 temporary income tax hike is "a good place to begin." State Senator Bill Brady (R-Bloomington), however, says Illinois should focus on reforming how the state does business, boosting Illinois' economy, and protecting taxpayers.
Brady said,"Illinois needs economic and structural reforms to fundamentally change the way our state does business. We need to pass reforms that will naturally grow Illinois economy and the middle class instead of simply raising taxes."


Over the past couple of years, Elon Musk has revolutionized the car industry with the creation of the full electric car, Tesla, but it doesn't stop there. In addition to this technological innovation, he is planning to start to dwell into other industries such as space travel and truck manufacturer industry.
More recently, he has launched SpaceX's first launch of the Falcon 9 Heavy, which is a space rocket that far exceeds any other. It has "27 first-stage engines that vastly exceeds the capabilities of no other vehicle" (SpaceX). This vastly impacts the commercial space, deep space travel, and space tourism. This innovation doesn't necessary affect our day-to-day life, but i'lll push for space travel leading to new ventures within the upcoming years. In addition to the first-stage engines, the rockets has been the other competing space rockets through various aspects such as cost ($90 million), payload, and being more economic with the implementation of reusable rockets and landing legs. Although the cost seems like a lot, most space rockets used right are triple the cost of the Falcon Heavy.
In addition to the spacecraft, he is also getting into the truck manufacturer industry by creating the first ever full-electric truck, Tesla Semi. Although the cost of it is a bit high ($150,000-%180,000), it is going to be more efficient than those in the current market. The vehicle has either a 300-mile range or a 500-mile range version. The positive of this vehicle overall creating a greener environment with no use of gasoline and the ability to save $200,000+ in fuel. The positive impacts are a greener environment, more efficient gas industry, and less truck pollution. One of the negative aspects of this is the huge production cost, but this can be overlooked with the fuel you'll save. This is going to affect our day-to-day by providing the truck industry a more efficient option in the long-run lead to more prosperous companies who need to use them. With more and more electric vehicles, more consumer can access them and lead to a more efficient travel while also saving money in the long-run.

Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo said there would be no sacred cows in the Duterte administration.
Palace: Erring Cabinet men to be held accountable
Alexis Romero (The Philippine Star) - January 8, 2019 - 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines — Erring officials will be held accountable for their actions, Malacañang assured the public yesterday after the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) announced that it is investigating three officials accused of irregularities.
PACC Commissioner Manuelito Luna earlier identified the three officials as Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III, former Customs commissioner and now Technical Education and Skills Development Authority chief Isidro Lapeña and National Commission on Indigenous People chairman Leonor Oralde-Quintayo.
"You violate the law, regardless of your status – whether you're a friend, an ally, a political adversary, a relative, a friend or a fraternity brother – it doesn't matter. You are accountable," Panelo told journalists.
"We will wait for the findings. If there's evidence, the President will act on it," he said.
Bello said he is not aware of any complaint or pending investigation being conducted against him by the PACC.
He said he is ready to address the issue once the PACC would require him to answer the allegations of corruption being hurled against him.
"Wala pa namang (Still no) complaint against me and they have not asked me to reply to any complaint," Bello said, referring to PACC.
President Duterte, who won on a platform of curbing corruption and crime, has promised not to tolerate even a whiff of corruption in his administration.
To prove that he is serious about his anti-corruption drive, Duterte has fired several officials, including members of the Cabinet accused of involvement in questionable deals and unnecessary trips.
Critics claimed Duterte's crackdown is selective, saying the President has spared his close allies and even reappointed some dismissed officials to new posts.
Panelo said the President fires an official once there is evidence showing he committed wrongdoing.
"If you say whiff of corruption, there should be substantial grounds. The President will order an investigation. If you are accused of something, it doesn't mean you will be dismissed immediately. The President is not like that," Panelo said.
Yesterday, Malacañang said it would allow the PACC investigation against Bello, Lapeña and Quintayo to continue.
In July last year, a local job recruiter accused Bello and two other labor officials of graft and corruption.
Amanda Araneta, president and general manager of MMML Recruitment Services Inc., threatened to file charges before the PACC.
Araneta claimed she personally gave Bello an iPhone and P100,000 cash as Christmas gift in 2016.
She said she also tried to give him an expensive bottle of perfume as well as P100,000 cash as a belated birthday gift in June 2017.
Bello denied the accusations. – With Mayen Jaymalin

Hump Day Goodness
A Dad for Sebastian
(UNEDITED EXCERPT)
"What's your name, kid?"
"Sebastian Love," he said, holding out his hand to shake Aries's. "Pleased to meet you." The kid's name was, again, setting off all kinds of alarm bells. He should know this kid, but damned if he knew where.
"Aries Grayson."
"Aries?" The kid's eyes got big. "The Greek god of war?"
"The very one," Aries chuckled. That comment about his name usually got his hackles up, but Sebastian was looking at him with something like awe. His glasses seemed to take up half his face and he continually pushed them up on his nose. With the thick lenses, he reminded Aries of the really smart baby chicken from the Foghorn Leghorn cartoon.
"Wow! Are you really a Navy SEAL?"
"Used to be."
He looked confused. "I thought once a SEAL, always a SEAL."
Aries couldn't help but smile. "You know about stuff like that, do you?"
"Well, that's what I read. Was that book wrong?"
"No. That's pretty much the way it is. I hurt a knee, then got offered a job in a different area of the Navy." He shrugged. "I guess when you get old you want away from the action." Aries grinned at the child. He didn't look like he was old enough to read. At least, not a book about Navy SEALs.
"How old are you?"
"Six. How old are you?"
"What book have you been reading about SEALs at your age?"
The kid immediately went fishing in his backpack and pulled out a book. It didn't look like it was geared toward kids his age. In fact, it was by an author he recognized as being a New York Times bestseller. The book too.
"Isn't this a bit old for you?" No way this kid could read and understand something like this. The thing had to be more than six or seven hundred pages long.
"Well, it's a bit violent, but since I've never seen the stuff it's describing it doesn't give me bad images." Was this kid for real?
"I mean," Aries pinched his forehead, "you can read and understand the story?"
"Oh, yeah. I'm advanced for my age." Sebastian talked like an adult. Read adult books.
"What else are you, uh, advanced in?"
"Pretty much everything," he said matter-of-factly. "I have a special teacher for math and science. My reading and spelling teacher just lets me work through the books on my own and tests me when I reach an end of a section." Then he got a down and out look on his face. "But I suck at music."
Aries blinked. "Music."
"Yeah," the kid shook his head as if it were the worst possible failure. "My mom says I'm tone deaf." He shrugged. "She doesn't seem to mind, though. Just laughs and says I have to not be good as something."
"So, music and basketball then?" Aries couldn't keep the grin from his face.
"Pretty much. Well, basketball and every other sport. Mom says I have trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time but she loves me no matter what." This kid was just… God, just... to damned cute!
"Maybe we can play ball sometime," Aries said, in no way able to keep a straight face now. "I'll bring some bubble gum along. That way, you'll be able to tell your mom you can so walk and chew gum at the same time."
He giggled then. "I think I like you, Mister," he said. "I bet Mom would like you, too. You want to meet her?"
Actually, he did. Anyone who would leave a kid alone in a public park needed a good talking to like he'd given the young bullies. He'd gone from trying to redeem himself to being this young boy's protector and teacher. How the fuck had that happened? The second he thought it, the more the band around his chest since his brother had left seemed to loosen a little. What he was doing felt right. Necessary. Both for him and for the boy.
"Tell me something, Sebastian. What are you doing here by yourself? This is a great park and all, but it's dangerous for someone your age to be here alone."
Sebastian immediately flush and looked away. Aries thought he might not tell him, but he finally sighed, that defeated posture again tugging at Aries's heart, and confessed. "I told my mom there was after school supervision so she wouldn't leave work early. I heard her boss told her if she left early or brought me there again he'd fire her."
Well, goddamn.
"Sebastian!" A female voice came from behind them, the shrill panic evident. "Get away from him!"
Sebastian turned and grinned, oblivious to the woman's discomfort. "Hey, Mom! Come meet my new friend! He's a Navy SEAL! Can you believe that?"
Aries glanced over his shoulder...and nearly lost his breath. Hurrying toward them was the most exquisite woman he'd ever seen. Strawberry blond was pulled back into a bun but strands fell about her face in unruly curls like they'd escaped during her day. She impatiently batted at one curl doggedly swinging in her eyes only to have it blow right back. And he fucking knew her!
She dressed in a waitress uniform of pale pink, the skirt hitting just above her knees. The V of the collar was low enough to show cleavage if she'd had any, but her breasts were either too small or she wore a minimizer bra. Aries was dying to figure out that little secret. Why had he never noticed her figure before? Probably because she'd still been a kid. Now, her pale skin was a temptation. She sported a generous amount of freckles, but not enough to camouflage her creamy complexion. A thought struck him in the head so hard and the image boured into his brain, refusing to be jostled loose. What it would be like to connect every single one of those freckles...with his tongue.
God! He had to stop thinking like that. The girl was so much younger than he was he didn't even want to think about the difference. She'd been his brother's age but still a couple of years behind him in school. And he'd been eleven years older than Apollo.
Christ!
"You don't know this man, Sebastian," she said as she picked up his backpack, urging him up to hurry him away.
Aries raised his hands in a non-threatening gesture when Sebastian spoke up. "He kept the Rat Pack away from me, Mom. He's cool." He resisted her trying to force him away, as if his explanation were enough to satisfy anyone.
"Sebastian…" she started, glancing at Aries. The wide eyed expression on her face told Aries she remembered him. Which was good since he planned on getting acquainted with her really soon. Then she gently turned Sebastian to her by his shoulders. "We've talked about this, baby. You're not supposed to talk to strangers. And where's your teacher? I thought you said there was a math workshop the rest of the week?"
The kid's face turned beet red as his mouth worked, obviously trying to form an answer his mother would believe. Sebastian looked at Aries helplessly, looking for help Aries couldn't give since he had no idea what was going on.
"Hi, Ms. Love," he said, addressing her in a familiar way so she knew he remembered her, but also for Sebastian's benefit. Also, he wanted to steer Sebastian away from trouble. "I'm working with St. Mildred's Outreach to keep the park clean."
"Sounds like community service to me," she said, not meeting his gaze. There was a becoming blush across her fair cheeks that kind of made the freckles across her nose blend in to her face slightly. "Are you on probation or something?"
"I promise I'm not. Check me out with Father Luke if you think you need to. Though, I suspect you remember me and know I'm not a bad person." That answer seemed to satisfy her a little. At least, didn't look like she was going to bolt.
After a moment or two, she let out a weary breath. "Why are you here, Aries? And don't call me Ms. Love." She scowled. "I hate that," she mumbled.
"Sure," he fought a grin and lost. "Honey."
Aries couldn't help it. Having been teased his entire life about his name, he should be the last one to smile at an unusual name, but his lips quirked. They always had. In the past, when he'd even thought about her, he'd grinned. Now, when the smile came, Honey Love punched his arm. Hard.
Aries chuckled, unable to help himself. So she punched him again.
"Mom! You don't mess with a SEAL unless you're ready to fight!" Sebastian's eyes were wide as he stood, moving his little body between his mother and Aries to push her away. "He'll clobber you!"
"Relax, little man. I'd never hurt your mom." Aris rested a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Your mom has just as an unusual name as I have. I'm thinking she doesn't like people grinning at her name."
Sebastian turned to Aries. "Wait. You smiled at her?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
"Oh, man." The boy winced. "No wonder she was ready to fight you." He turned back to Honey. "I still don't think it's a good idea."
Her lips twitched even as she went for a scowl. "He grinned, therefore he's taking his life into his own hands. Besides, don't let my size fool you. I can take care of myself."
"Oh, I have no doubt," Aries said, trying his best to keep a smile off his face.

One of the most important yet poorly understood components of hatchery production of crustaceans is larval nutrition and digestive capacity. Larvae of aquatic animals, particularly early larvae, rely primarily on chemical digestion of ingested foods using enzymes. This study assayed the major digestive enzymes of the mud crab, Scylla serrata, during embryonic development and after various periods of starvation of the newly hatched larvae, to assess larval capacity to digest major nutrients and to evaluate the relative utilization of these nutrients for energy production. Lipids were the first energy reserves utilized during the early periods of embryonic development as indicated by the early significant increase in esterase activity compared to the relatively low and steady levels of amylase and protease activities. As readily available lipid reserves were depleted, and became insufficient to meet the increasing energy demands towards the end of embryonic development, protein and, to some extent carbohydrates, were increasingly utilized. This was demonstrated by the levelling of esterase activities, coinciding with significant increases in protease and esterase activities towards the final phase of embryonic development. Starved newly-hatched S. serrata larvae continued to utilize mostly proteins as indicated by relatively high protease activities compared to amylase and esterase activities. Persistent high protease activity in starved S. serrata larvae, suggested degradation of structural proteins, implying the need to immediately feed newly hatched larvae. These results highlight the significance of lipid reserves in developing embryos of S. serrata, and the importance of appropriate broodstock nutrition and management to ensure that these reserves are accumulated sufficiently to produce high quality eggs and larvae.

The Telegraph's "depraved sexual fantasies"
Posted by atomicspin in Misleading headlines, Psychology, Sex, Too scientific; did not read, Unpublished research on Wednesday, 1st August 2012
A couple of weeks ago, The Telegraph ran an article titled "Women's sexual fantasies less depraved than men's". I didn't see the article at the time, but it's clearly gone on to have a big second life on social networks, remaining in the top five most read articles on the site – and with a title like that, it's not hard to see why. After all, it hits all sorts of popular myths and memes: men are pervs, women are innocent maidens, Fifty Shades of Grey is somehow revolutionary. It's just a shame that the article itself doesn't back it up.
First of all, despite what the article claims, this research doesn't seem to have been published yet. The only record I can find of it is a press release on the University of Granada website, titled "A study Shows that Men and Women Have the Same Sexual Fantasies". That's… well, that's precisely the opposite of what the headline says.
Even The Telegraph admits in the article itself that:
The team said there were not "significant" differences between men's and women's racy thoughts, but that there were subtle differences between the sexes in the scenarios that they imagined.
Just as importantly, there's no way of saying what's "depraved" and what isn't (and a Telegraph journalist would hardly be my first choice to draw the line…) Men tended to report fantasizing more frequently about group sex while women said they fantasized more about submission. Why is one more "depraved" than the other?
In fact, talking about what sound like safe, fairly common sexual fantasies in terms like "depravity" is probably just about the worst way you could report on them. As the press release says:
The University of Granada researchers point out that having sexual fantasies "favors some aspects as sexual desire and arousal". In therapeutic terms, researchers think that it is not only the presence of lack of sexual fantasies what should be considered, but also the patient's attitude towards them.
If The Telegraph is calling people depraved for having what seem to be fairly common fantasies, is that really going to improve their attitude towards them?
The Daily Mail blames "brain chemicals" for riots… the research they cite doesn't
Posted by atomicspin in Churnalism, Crime, Damned lies and statistics, Graphs everywhere!, Health and Correctness gone Politically Safe, If you tolerate this then your children will be next, Misleading headlines, Psychology, Too scientific; did not read, Total Perspective Vortex on Thursday, 11th August 2011
Daily Mail headline: Rioters have 'lower levels' of brain chemical that keeps impulsive behaviour under control
Do they? Well, some of them might, but the research in question wasn't about rioters at all.
Researchers from the University of Cardiff uncovered a link between impulsiveness and levels of the neurotransmitter GABA in a key brain region.
… Around 30 male university students had their levels of GABA measured using a specialised type of brain scan.
They were also asked to complete questionnaires that assessed different aspects of impulsiveness, a trait known to influence self-control.
Participants with more GABA in the pre-frontal brain region had lower scores for 'urgency' – the tendency to behave rashly in response to distress or strong emotions and urges.
There was no connection to rioting in the study. Any connection made in the article is being made by journalists – this article has no by-line, being published solely under the Daily Mail Reporter name, but I think it came from the Press Association originally – and it's a tenuous connection. You see, The Mail is working completely backwards here – they've decided that since people who have less GABA tend to behave more rashly, people who they think behaved rashly must have less GABA. You might as well assume that since every MP is in London right now, everyone in London is an MP.
Besides, although the paper in question, "Dorso-lateral prefrontal gamma-amino butyric acid in men predicts individual differences in rash impulsivity" (in Biological Psychiatry not Biological Society, despite what The Mail claims) did find a connection between GABA and impulsiveness, it wasn't as strong as The Mail claims:
Figure 1 from the paper (highlights my own)
That's a graph from the paper, showing the connection between the amount of GABA in one particular part of the brain (along the bottom axis) and how strong the individual's feeling of urgency was (along the side axis) in two groups (cohorts). There does appear to be a correlation (the R number is a measure of how strong this correlation is; R = -0.7 is a reasonable correlation) but look at the two I've highlighted with red dots in cohort 2. These two people have the same amount of GABA in their brains, but one of them was incredibly impulsive while the other was one of the calmest people in the study. Likewise, in cohort 1, while there was a definite tendency for people with more GABA to be less impulsive, just look at that cluster of dots – there are impulsive people with lots of GABA, and cautious people without it.
The best you could possibly say about this article is that maybe on average a rioter* has less GABA than normal, assuming these riots are entirely impulsive and there is nothing at all planned or premeditated about them. But then, why does this study need to be connected to riots at all? The paper came out in July before the riots, it's not about riots – or any kind of violence at all – and none of the scientists quoted mention them, and to be honest, blaming the riots entirely on brain chemistry leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. As Mindhacks has pointed out, The Daily Mail seems to be going to great lengths to avoid exploring any of the context behind the riots, and this kind of story helps bolster the Mail's line that there is no deeper cause of these riots than "criminality pure and simple".
Wales Online originally ran this story too (here's the Google cache, and if that stops working, here's a screenshot), but they've since realised there's nothing in this proving anything about the brains of rioters and have replaced the story with an altogether more reasonable report on the research. Will The Mail follow suit? Let's see.
* Male rioters at least – the study only looked at men, so there's no guarantee this correlation is true in women too.
Edit: The researchers behind the study have published a scathing rebuttal in The Guardian, saying "Let us be absolutely clear. Our research has almost nothing to say about rioting, and certainly can't be used to justify or excuse any type of behaviour." Despite complaints from the scientists, The Mail's article is still online.

Human-animal hybrids grown in secret? Well, no…
Posted by atomicspin in Biology, Health & medicine, Health and Correctness gone Politically Safe, Misleading headlines, Politicians say the darndest things, Politics on Sunday, 24th July 2011
(HT @ukenagashi)
Fresh from their sister paper's hard-hitting report into scientific ethics (which then ignored scientific ethics completely in favour of plugging The Planet of Apes prequel (direct link)), the Mail on Sunday today claims "150 human animal hybrids grown in UK labs: Embryos have been produced secretively for the past three years".
Indeed, admixed embryo research was so secretive that it only got a few thousand column inches from tiny obscure outlets like The Times, the BBC and, err, The Mail.
That said, the stupidest thing in the article is not The Mail's coverage, which overall isn't as terrible as I thought it would be*, though there's no attempt at explaining the issues beyond just quoting a spokesperson from each side, and it doesn't make clear that a lot of the experiments in question – implanting a human nucleus into an empty animal cell – don't make "hybrids" (more strictly, chimeras or admixed embryos) at all; they just make what is for all intents and purposes a human egg cell (taking eggs out of humans naturally is slightly dangerous, so it's hard to justify putting women at risk for a science experiment when you can just make egg substitutes in the lab).
No, that prize goes to Lord Alton, who first showed the figures to The Mail. He says:
'Ethically it can never be justifiable – it discredits us as a country. It is dabbling in the grotesque.
'At every stage the justification from scientists has been: if only you allow us to do this, we will find cures for every illness known to mankind. This is emotional blackmail.
And those cancer scientists asking for money to invent drugs that cure cancer! Pah! Terrible! It's emotional blackmail, that's what it is.
Still, if you're going to ban scientists from using "curing disease" as a justification then I guess it is pretty hard to justify.
'Of the 80 treatments and cures which have come about from stem cells, all have come from adult stem cells – not embryonic ones.
'On moral and ethical grounds this fails; and on scientific and medical ones too.'
I'm not sure where he got that awfully precise figure of 80 from. But yes, all currently approved stem cell treatments have from adult stem cells… because adult stem research has been going strong for over 30 years while embryonic stem cell research is far more recent and has had a troubled history (especially in America); the first embryonic stem cell treatments are just starting to be tested. If in 5 or 10 years there are still no working embryonic stem cell treatments, then it will be time to look at whether embryo research is the best route to take. Right now, though, it's much too early to say whether this fails scientifically.
* I have very low standards of "terrible" these days, it seems.

title: Everyone Wants a Fucking Maps Product By Facebook

*An Op-Ed by Everyone's Common Sense*

![Facebook Maps? Really?]({{ site.url }}/assets/2013-05-28-fbmaps.svg)

Facebook HQ, Menlo Park, CA---You know how I found out Facebook was located in Menlo Park? I'll give you a hint: I didn't go to fucking Facebook. Nor did I "Bing The Maps," (is that the proper vernacular?) use Mapquest, check the yellow pages or--god forbid--open Apple Maps.

Like any aggregate pile of humanity's collective common sense, I went to Google Maps. Because Google, being a god damned SEARCH engine, can FIND things.

(Sidenote: No, Microsoft, Bing is not a search engine. Technically speaking it's an Emergent Game-Theoretic Inevitability...but they would have you believe it's a "decision engine." Which is true, in that immediately after using Bing you "decide" to use Google. But I digress.)

Riddle me this, batman: when do you go on Facebook? When me, your oft-ignored common fucking sense, is not around. When your complete lack of focus on productive, self-actualizing things descends into self-wallowing melancholy, and you think "fuck it, I want to see everyone's vacation pictures. Oh, look, my ex had another baby and everyone's so happy."

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

Let me hit you with some realtalk: you don't go to Facebook to FIND anything. Facebook is where you get LOST, motherfucker. Facebook is a god damned black hole, generated by the sheer mass of Human Vanity collapsing into an emotional singularity. Even your LCD's self-reflected light cannot escape the sad blue gravity of this infinitely dense prison. Do you get what I'm saying, Chandrasekhar?

Let me spell it out for you. Facebook Maps is not your friend. Facebok Maps is your enemy. Facebook Maps will require "liking" a Starbucks fan page before directing you to one. Facebook Maps woudn't locate your friends without promoting an irrelevant local offer, probably for Starbucks. Facebook Maps would give Sisyphus directions to a sleezy, forcibly "social" remake of Asteroids instead of the nearest boulder. If Facebook Maps were an ice cream flavor, it would be pralines and dick. Upon making that reference it would automatically post "Wayne's World" as one of your favorite movies without your permission.

For fucks' sake, are you on Facebook right now? God dammit.

(This op-ed was a joint venture of your common sense and Google+'s growing sense of inadequacy)

Susan Williams named new executive director of Miss North Carolina
By Christopher R. Tatum on	 January 1, 2022 Board Director
The Miss North Carolina organization has chosen a resident of Fayetteville as its new executive director.
Susan Williams, 64, who sits on the Cumberland County board of directors, was selected on Monday by the board of directors of the Miss North Carolina organization.
The board of directors of the Miss North Carolina Organization has nine members.
"I felt a little overwhelmed, but I have an amazing board that (works) with me," she said. "The initial shock has faded."
In 1977, Williams won Miss Spivey's corner, a preliminary competition for Miss North Carolina. Williams went on to secure a top 10 spot in the competition as a finalist out of nearly 55 applicants.

Since then, Williams has served as business manager, secretary and judge chair for Miss North Carolina.
"We are preparing young women for the world, and we are doing it in different ways," she said. "But more than that, providing scholarship money opportunities."
Williams, a former teacher for nearly 35 years, said the young women who compete learn interviewing, resume building, community outreach and public speaking skills.
This year, $ 107,000 in scholarships was awarded to Miss North Carolina candidates, she said.
The Miss North Carolina Organization and the North Carolina Educational Scholarship Fund are planning to provide more than $ 100,000 in scholarships to applicants in the 2022 competition.
Miss North Carolina 2021 Carli Batson took home $ 20,000 in the purse, Williams said.
The 86th Miss North Carolina Competition, a preliminary competition for Miss America, will be held in June at High Point.

Russia planning 2036 Olympic Games bid with several possible host cities under consideration
By GBModerator,
August 17, 2021 in GB Newswire
baron-pierreIV
Unless the IOC wants to commit suicide, they shouldn't be giving 2036 to Germany. Can you hear the commentators? "Like Paris, Ruhr 2036 makes the centennial anniversary of the Nazi games on 1936 in Berlin . ." Hello??
Germany;s time for another SOG will have to wait until 2040. Coates stole a beat on them by quickly sneaking Brisbane in there. 2036 will be between Seoul. St. Pete, Istanbul and probably an Amsterdam- Bruxelles bids. Too soon too for Guadalajara, Mexico.

Oh lots of things to digest in this thread already…let's see: No, not all potential 2032 bidders are in dialogue for 2036 - certainly not Germany for now. Yes, I do think the IOC will sooner
This. The IOC are still dealing with the blowback of Sochi - from the doping "ban" (or non-ban) to continuing great reluctance of suitors to take on a winter games. And Beijing's hardly going to
Yes, please find those media reports for him, cause that's what he 'wants', since he's been "living under a rock". lmao
Location:Munich, Germany
There's enough domestic concerns about such a "centennial" already, and with the DOSB in turmoil right now, I doubt there's going to come much out of a German bid for 2036.
So the IOC need not worry, they can still commit suicide by other means of course.

Hang on, my bad that I forgot that Rhine-Ruhr never withdrew from the perpetual, I mean continous dialogue which it didn't even officially start.
There is no "offical start".
There is no bidding.
It is called Continuous Dialogue. Dialogue is talking or communicating.
Rhine Rhur were talking to the IOC Future Host Commission and this was reported by the media.
They even criticised the new process and the IOC Future Host Commission returned fire.
If you want, I can the media reports about this. Let me know and I'll post it here for you.

Yes, I do think the IOC will sooner than later bring back a sinner turned saint Russia. But even then, I very much doubt they would give them 2036 already in one or two years. Brisbane had an 11 year lead because they offered the least to worry option (plus Coates) for the IOC, not because they were first out of the gate. Even Bach knows that at this point in time, being in bed with Russia again will not be the least to worry option. Unless there is no other of course.
I think we're all falling for another Kremlin game here if we consider this already like a done deal. Could be they want to build early pressure that other contenders throw the towel even before the start because they take this fatalistic approach that is already visible in this thread.
There should at least be five more years before we really know who has 2036 ambitions and of those, who is the most serious. It might be Russia, but who knows…
The IOC are still dealing with the blowback of Sochi - from the doping "ban" (or non-ban) to continuing great reluctance of suitors to take on a winter games. And Beijing's hardly going to generate much positive Games-hosting vibes. From purely their own senses of self-interest the IOC know Russia's damaged goods still at this point of time. But they're not pressed for time anyway. At least five years before they have to engage with anyone seriously for 2036. Who knows what will happen in that time - most of us would love to see Russia rehabilitated and get St Pete's a games as a reward. Maybe the IOC may have no other choice. More likely a more appetising aspirant will emerge. Personally my early money would still be on Madrid, despite what the nitpickers and fault finders would have us believe.
The priority for the IOC atm is 2030. THAT'S starting to get a bit urgent. Anything beyond is just a bit of early clutter right now.

So crippling heat & a stadium issue, for starters, is nitpicking & fault finding? I'm sure the athletes that were taken to hospitals at Tokyo 2020ne for heat exhaustion would beg to differ. Not to mention the other athletes that were just miserable for their competitions because of the heat.
And whose fault was that? The IOC chose to skip 2030 in order to focus on 2032, when hence, 2030 should've been the urgency to begin with. And 'early clutter' is what makes these boards a buzz. Always has. It's at least waking up this ghost town that was once GB's.
6 minutes ago, FYI said:
Hmmm, let me think, I wonder why they decided to delay consideration of 2030. Gee, that's a hard one.
Aah yes,……… that's right.
It might have a little something to do with Salt Lake City 2030 candidature being only 2 years after LA2028.
and then there is the favourite Sapporo 2030 currently stuck between a rock and a hard place as to whether their Candidature goes forward or is withdrawn.

All the more reason to have focused on it first! Plus, wasn't this "new bidding process" & the "new norm" suppose to bring all these cities out of the woodwork for bids?! Yet, here we are, even with the "delayed consideration", 2030 is starting to become an "urgency" for the IOC. Go figure.
Looking at the charts, Madrid's average July high temp is 32c, August it's 31c. And that's dry heat, not the oppressive humid heat of Tokyo. I'm sure they also get higher temp spikes - as anywhere does. Three years ago in LA I spent the day before July 4 in queues at Universal Studios in 44c.
The stadium issue so many are decrying? Athletics no longer needs to be in the main stadium. Rio pioneered that. The IOC's already demonstrated flexibility in what it used to mandate for venues. There are options beyond relying on a football stadium.
It's not like they chose to skip it, but more they still haven't had anybody pony up with anything concrete yet. And I still blame the Sochi blowback a lot for that.
I hope the board's recent renaissance may continue. But, really, I'm pessimistic it'll probably go back to holding pattern post-Beijing. I'd like nothing more than to be wrong about that though.

There is no logical compelling reason to run the Candidature selection chronologically by year.
That's what we're used to and that's all it is.
2030 will be sorted out sometime between now and 2023. While the traditional 7-years-before election has gone, I think that 7 years preparation time is still generally accepted these days as the "minimum games prep lead-in time".
Who knows, a 2036 SOG host might also be selected before a 2034 host.
1 minute ago, Sir Rols said:
Ugh, had to do the conversion to Fahrenheit. Anyway, yeah, those are the averages. But during the weeks of Tokyo 2020ne, Madrid was averaging OVER 100 degrees (that's over 38 in Celsius) each day! And especially when you're an endurance athlete, I'm sure it doesn't matter too much if it's a dry or humid heat. It's still HOT.
And yeah, I actually thought about L.A. the other day. But with climate change & all, 2028 isn't going to be as pleasant as it was in 1984. July of 2021 was the 'hottest July on record'. And it's probably going to be worse by the time L.A. hosts again. I'm sure they'll be more collapsing athletes then too.
It's not like they chose to skip it, but more they still haven't had anybody pony up with anything concrete yet.
The IOC already knows that SLC really, really wants another Winter Olympics. How much more concrete than that does it need to get. I think more of the issue is, that the IOC is just holding off to see if some one else plausible comes along, so that they don't have to cut some sort of financial incentive for having 2028 & 2030 too close together in the U.S.
There was also no logical compelling reason to award 2032 11-years out, either. It still could've been done 9, or even 8 years out. It was only rushed by the EB, in order to appease a certain VP with his special gift.
If you are unhappy with why they did it and they did what they did …. then write in and ask them if it keeps you awake at night.
But, regardless, the IOC Future Host Commission will still choose who to elevate and at which point in time that they do so.

My feeling is 1936 will get a few brief mentions and that'll be that. I don't think that's really a worry. We'll quickly get onto the ceremonies and the sport, and there'll be a huge amount of goodwill towards the city and the country. And even if it hosted in 2040 instead, you're not going to avoid the fact the main stadium is what it is historically, but I'm sure broadcasters will deal with that well. I don't share your negative prognosis.
Really, it's whether Germany feels comfortable hosting in 2036. That's what matters. If the IOC is still so leary about well-known history that it can't accept a good Germany bid for 2036, then that's a bid sad. Espeically if that Germany bid turns out to be the best on offer.

Ummm. No it didn't. Here's what Madrid experienced this year at games time:
That was three days at 36C, one of 35C, and the rest ranging from 27 to 33. Right around the average. Hot but not unpleasantly so. And quite nice nights, even a bit coolish on some of them (15-16C). But that's the Summer Games for you. About the only ones that didn't get so summery hot over the past 30 years were Sydney (Spring) and London (well, it's England).
SLC might really, really want them, but the USOC so far has been no more than perhaps. Just as Vancouver and Quebec City have expressed interest, but the Canadian Olympic Committee has made no commitment either. Neither them or the IOC have got to the point of talking business. So, no, nothing concrete yet. Just two possible likely contenders.
4 hours ago, Rob. said:
Actually, I forget that the Germans are floating that combined Ruhr-Germany-Israel bid. On the surface it like a good attempt to paint a positive slant on the 1936 resonance -- but is it feasible? I know there is the bizarre Paris-Tahiti gimmick they are pulling, but a combined Germany-Israel bid presents problems of its own. What events can they give Israel that will not involve the hostile Arab countries' athletes?
Oops, forgot there was Munich 1972 also. I can see why such an idea is a dead pipe dream. I think Germany's least controversial next hosting turn should just be a winter one.

I know when I looked it up in real time, particular the latter half of the Tokyo 2020ne Games, which was the August portion, virtually all of those days were above 100F, & a couple of those days were 106F & 107F. So who knows. But again, dry heat or not, for athletes who will be competing outside, that'd hardly still be a comfort to them. When you're running a marathon & start to sweat, the heat starts to stick to you regardless. Unless of course, they do all the outdoor competitions at night that is. But then again, it's not like the IOC takes the athletes considerations as priority anyway,
It's more than just 'perhaps'. The USOC already made their domestic decision between Denver & Reno before finally selecting SLC a few years ago. So they're already well ahead of the Canadians in that regard. So it's more that the IOC is not 'dialoging' with the USOC about 2030 as of yet. But that's suppose to change very drastically now that the Tokyo Games are over & done with, according to the USOC president last month.
The thing with heat consideration for athletes competing is not just the air temperature or the heat beating down on you -- particularly for the longer races, it's also the heat from the pavement pushing up. Supposedly the tracks at Tokyo (and I think the blue Field hockey courts) are heat-absorbent; and supposedly, so is the track at Eugene, Oregon, for next summer's IAAF championships, so . . . it's really more than just what the temp reading is.
I suppose they could commission something like this over a 13.1-mile course (and just run the loop twice) but then again, Christo is already dead. But if they did erect a shaded course, adding even some mist spritzers, I wonder how much it would cost? They could always auction off portions of it after the Games to amortize the initial costs.
"The Germans"....seriously, that was a non-starter from an attention-seeking fool which was laughed off in German media for days and then died. It made Tulsa seem credible. (and it was a Berlin-Tel Aviv idea, I think, not Rhine-Ruhr).
/\ Alright, so I didn't get the details exactly right Since as you said, it was an amorphous idea to begin with. Big deal.
Is this going to get published in stone?
Well, they weren't. A sustained two weeks heat wave of high 30s-early 40s would have been world news. Madrid's not some extreme outlier like Doha, it's right in line with sweltering each morning thunderstorm each afternoon Atlanta, baking hot Athens, hot and smoggy Beijing and sultry Rio. On Madrid's temps, a morning marathon like Tokyo's would have actually been quite pleasant (17 to early 20s). It's the summer games, heat is and always was a factor, and extremes have to be countered in anywhere, particularly in NBC's decreed July-August window.
Where Tokyo upped the ante was its extreme humidity. Now Canadians and other northerners may laugh at our naïveté about cold, but when it comes to high temps any Australian will tell you "it's not the heat that'll kill you, it's the humidity". The basic biomechanics are humidity prevents sweat from evaporating and cooling your body, thus overheating it dramatically. Basically the opposite of wind chill factor. And it makes a huge difference.
SLC certainly is the most likely back-up plan, but it's far from the ideal plan from the IOC's and USOC's point of view - hence the need to cut a financial deal and why more concrete negotiations haven't progressed yet (though I'd guess those would be starting more in earnest now and will pick up on the margins of Beijing, along with more pointed inquiries of any other possible contenders like Canada). And that was the point - that's the priority now before sifting through the list of who might be in it for the long haul in 2036.


Today, many metalcasters still refer to themselves as foundrymen and to their plants as foundries.
MODERN CASTING currently is developing a series of stories about the effects of climate change legislation pending in Congress.
The metalcasting business is full of fire, smoke and sparks, which makes for good pictures but doesn't necessarily paint the industry in a good light, particularly when it is covered in the media.
Every year, we are faced with new regulations and laws from our government that make it harder to do business.

MBPL
Mother's birthplace
Return to Ethnicity/Nativity variables list
MBPL indicates whether the person's mother was born in the United States and, if not, her foreign country of birth.
There are occasionally consistencies in the original CPS data between a person's MBPL value and the BPL value of the person designated as that person's mother in the household.
The 1994 data for MBPL include only about 40 categories, with all other answers coded into a residual "Other/Unknown" category. For 1995 forward, over one hundred categories are recognized, including responses for countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Oceania that were not part of the 1994 data. To achieve comparability from 1994 to the present, the data must be recoded into the smaller number of categories available in 1994.
IPUMS-CPS data on mother's birthplace are recoded using the same BPL codes available in IPUMS-USA, but fewer categories are included in the CPS than in the census. State of birth is supplied by the census samples, but only a general "United States" code is given in the CPS. Because fewer codes are included in IPUMS-CPS than in IPUMS-USA, residual categories like "Other Africa" and "Other" are more inclusive in the CPS than in the census. Some specific countries of origin, particularly in Asia and Africa, that were not reported in the census samples for MBPL, did appear in the CPS data; these were given the corresponding codes from the BPL variable for IPUMS-CPS. In the CPS, "Unknown" and "Other" cases were combined into a single category and were given a new code of 96000; in IPUMS-USA, "Unknown" cases are distinguished from the residual category of "Abroad, not specified."
All persons.

Sterilize the tweezers or a tick-removal device with rubbing alcohol.
Use the tweezers to grasp the tick as close to its head as possible.
Do not squeeze but rather pull firmly and slowly to remove the head and body. If the head is left attached, consult your vet for advice. However, if you exert firm, gentle pressure, the entire tick usually pulls off easily.
Take care not to exert any pressure on the tick's body because this could cause it to regurgitate its' stomach contents and eject more toxins into the cat's blood stream.
Cleanse the area around the wound with a cotton pad or sterile gauze soaked in hydrogen peroxide, and then use the cotton-tipped swabs to apply a dab of antibiotic ointment to the bite. Use the smallest amount possible because your cat may lick the ointment, and it could cause stomach distress or other complications.
Examine the area daily to make sure it is healing properly and there are no signs of infection. If the area looks red, inflamed or infected, take your cat to the vet immediately.
Do not touch the wound or any object that may be contaminated by the tick, as you could contract atick-borne disease. Dispose of all the trash properly, and wash your hands thoroughly when you are finished removing the tick.
To remove your sterile gloves safely and to reduce the risk of any cross-contamination, insert a clean, gloved finger inside the wrist of the glove and pull it off while turning it inside out. Remove the other glove in a like manner and dispose of them.
Some tick removal methods are not recommended, since they may be unsafe or cause your cat undue stress. These include holding an extinguished or lit match to the tick's body to cause them to detach. This could be painful for your cat, or you could burn him. Painting the tick's body with nail polish is also ineffective because it suffocates the parasite but does not cause it to fall off.
If you are wondering, "Can I throw a tick in the trash?", the answer is "No, not if you want to be sure you have killed it." Throwing the tick away or flushing it down the toilet will not kill it. To kill the tick, drop it into a jar of alcohol or insecticide. Let it stand in the liquid for approximately thirty minutes to one hour to make sure it is dead, and then dispose of it. Do not crush the tick's body, since it carries deadly diseases that may be transmitted.
Now that you know how to remove a tick from a cat, check your pet regularly, and take preventive steps to repel ticks. This is the best way to ensure his health and prevent any tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease.
Are you aware of how dangerous ticks are to pets like your dogs and cats or even to humans? Ticks carry deadly diseases such as Tularemia, Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
The risk of transmitted diseases like these is why it is so important to learn how to remove a tick from a cat—or any animal— safely. If your cat has access to the outdoors, he or she may run the risk of getting a tick occasionally, especially if you live near a forest.
However, if you have other pets like dogs, your cat could be bitten by a tick even he or she never goes outdoors as the other animals may carry the ticks inside. While it is rare for a cat to be bitten by a tick, it can happen, and if you are prepared, you can handle the situation quickly.
Make it a habit to examine your pet's skin frequently. A tick burrows its head into the skin, which means that the only visible part is its body, which grows larger as it feeds on your pet's blood. The best way to protect your pet is by removing the tick as soon as it is discovered. You can spot ticks and other pests easily on short-haired breeds like Siamese cats or Abyssians, but you may need to gently push aside the fur on a long-haired breed and make a careful examination of the skin to find any ticks.
Speaking of ticks, it is probably not a bad idea to examine yourself and others in the family during tick season to make sure that a tick has not hitch-hiked a ride from your family pet to your body. You can remove ticks from humans in the same manner as described here and dispose of them.

Movie Review: The BFG
By Adam Frazier | @ | Friday, July 1st, 2016 at 10:00 am
Director: Steven Spielberg
Screenwriter: Melissa Mathison
Cast: Mark Rylance, Ruby Barnhill, Jemaine Clement, Penelope Wilton, Rebecca Hall, Rafe Spall, Bill Hader
Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures
Rated PG | 117 Minutes
Roald Dahl created some of the most beloved children's stories of the 20th century, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, The Witches, and Fantastic Mr. Fox. Like Walt Disney, Dahl had a knack for fusing the fantastic with the frightening, blending sweetness with sadness in a way that resonated with old and young alike.
Dahl's The BFG was first published in 1982, the same year Steven Spielberg's own seminal tale of friendship, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, captured the hearts and imaginations of audiences around the world. It's funny how things work out. Three decades later, Spielberg and his E.T. collaborator, the late screenwriter Melissa Mathison, have adapted the Dahl's timeless adventure for the big screen.
Ruby Barnhill stars as Sophie, a 10-year-old orphan who befriends BFG (Mark Rylance), a big friendly giant who bottles dreams and blows them into the bedrooms of sleeping children. Together they set out on an adventure to stop Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement), Bloodbottler (Bill Hader), and the other man-eating giants who have been — gulp — eating children. Sophie, being the plucky and resourceful kid she is, orchestrates a plan that will involve the Queen of England (Penelope Wilton) and a particularly nasty dream concocted by BFG.
Barnhill is delightful as young Sophie, but it's Mark Rylance's incredible performance that will endear audiences to The BFG for years to come. After winning an Oscar for his role as Russian spy Rudolf Abel in Spielberg's Bridge of Spies, the English actor makes an about-face as an impossibly sweet giant who is bullied by his bigger, meaner brethren. Utilizing performance-capture technology, the 5′ 8″ thespian inhabits the computer-generated giant in a way that is simply dazzling.
What Rylance accomplishes here is akin to what Andy Serkis achieved in the Lord of the Rings and Planet of the Apes films. It's because of his warm and disarming performance that we believe in a world filled with frobscottle and snozzcumbers, where Giant Country exists just off the edge of the map and dreams can be caught like butterflies with a net. It's the kind of movie magic that only the combined forces of Dahl, Spielberg, and Mathison could conjure.
Another key ingredient in the movie's potent potion is Walt Disney Pictures, who is distributing the film. Walt Disney believed that for every laugh, there should be a tear. It's that signature combination of darkness and light that defined animated classics like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia, and Dumbo. The BFG marks Spielberg's directorial debut for Disney, which is interesting considering so much of his work – films like E.T., Hook, and A.I. Artificial Intelligence – adheres to that same belief.
The BFG is a wondrous creation by master storytellers, with lovely performances and dazzling special effects. To say it's one of the best films of the summer isn't high praise as much as it is the result of a process of elimination. With the exception of Captain America: Civil War and The Jungle Book, the summer movie season has been pretty abysmal. When compared to the likes of Independence Day: Resurgence, Warcraft, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, however, it's hard not to consider Spielberg's latest a giant success.
Like the book it's adapted from, The BFG is made for children, and kids will no doubt identify with the precocious Sophie and dream of exploring Giant Country with Rylance's heartwarming character. Mileage may vary for adults, depending on the current level of cynicism they're operating at, and how much they enjoy fart jokes. July 1 is the film's release date, which happens to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Dahl's birth. I could think of worse ways to celebrate the life of one of literature's most prolific authors than seeing a wonderfully realized film adaptation of one his most adored works by one of the greatest storytellers of our time.
