Leo will likely play America's first serial killer
DiCaprio might be taking a murderous turn in an upcoming film about the Chicago World's Fair, among other things
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2010/11/02/leonardo_dicaprio/

The man never sleeps. When he's not cavorting around Europe with his supermodel girlfriend (definitely has a type), and starring in red-hot summer flicks, Leonardo DiCaprio is on the lookout for his next project. And it looks like he just found it.
The Guardian reports that Leo's production company, Appian Way, has secured the rights to the critically acclaimed nonfiction book "The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America." It's a lovely tale about the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and how it was conceived and organized and all the fun times everyone had. Oh, and about the serial killer who wreaked havoc on the Windy City and murdered somewhere between 27 and 200 people.
Leo will likely play Dr. H.H. Holmes, a man (not a real doctor) considered to be America's first serial killer. He operated a "hotel" near the fairgrounds called the World's Fair Hotel, and while the linens were clean, you also might have enjoyed the crematorium, gas chamber and dissecting table. This guy was seriously twisted, and Leo can definitely pull off the mix of insanity and charm needed in this role. Plus, he looks really good in period pieces.
Maybe he'll finally get that Oscar he's been gunning for. We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, here's a much younger Leo back in his Titanic days.

Background: Desert frequently faces drought and famine condition affecting nutritional status.
Objectives: To assess impact of drought on nutritional status of school age children of rural population.
Design: Three stage sampling technique adopted covering 1497 school age children from 24 villages of Jodhpur district and examined at household level for their nutritional anthropometry, dietary and nutritional deficiencies.
Results: Growth retardation was observed. Wasting was in 22.4 percent children significantly higher in boys. Stunting and underweight was 36.6 and 43.9 percent (Less than Median–2SD). Stunting was higher in females than males in most of age groups though statistically insignificant. Vitamin A and B complex deficiencies were 1.4 and 2.7 percent respectively. Marasmus was 0.4 percent, significantly higher in boys (0.7%) than girls. Overall mean calorie and protein intake deficit was high (61.9 & 42.3%). The comparison of present drought results with earlier studies in desert normal and desert drought conditions showed higher prevalence of protein energy malnutrition and deficiencies of calories and proteins.
Conclusions: Wasting was high indicating severity of malnutrition to be critical as prevalence of wasting is more than 15 percent (WHO) . Protein energy malnutrition, vitamin A and B complex deficiencies, anemia along with deficit in calories and proteins in their diet was higher in comparison to non-desert areas, which may be due to the harsh environmental conditions in desert areas where drought occurs quite frequently affecting food intake of children. Supply of adequate calories and proteins should be stressed in ongoing nutrition programs.
Desert areas very frequently face drought and famine condition where in nutrition plays a vital role in the community. During nutritional emergencies such as drought or famine, first relief priority is the provision of food to the community and the disease prevention through prompt attention to nutrition and to various aspects of environmental health (WHO) . Food security implies that all people at all times have both physical and economic access to enough food for an active healthy life. WHO recommends an intake of more than 400 g of vegetables and fruits per day which provides protection? Attempts have been made to study the various aspects of nutrition and food security during famine, war, flood and economic crisis at international [2-5] and national [6-8] levels. In India, in desert areas of western Rajasthan, drought conditions occur quite frequently. Desert districts of Western Rajasthan had been the worst affected ones. During last century, the arid region experienced 47-62 percent droughts of varying intensities (CAZRI)  which had weakened the rural economy and largely eroded the coping capacity and economic potential of the people, with heavy livestock losses and reduced harvests leading to increased poverty and chronic malnutrition. This periodic cycle of scarce conditions, attributable to geomorphology and climatic characteristics of Thar Desert invariably affects the agricultural population residing in the desert by influencing their food intake. The cereals and millets contribute the maximum proportion of calories and protein intakes of the rural residents and in rural population of India, nearly 85 percent calories of the total daily calorie intake is consumed from the cereals and millets (DMRC drought study  1987). However in desert residents this proportion is more than 85 percent. This proportion further increases during the outbreak of drought. DMR in 1987 conducted health and nutrition survey of drought affected parts of Rajasthan and revealed that school age children suffered from grade II i.e. severe degree of reduction of Fat fold at Triceps (FFT) based on frequency distribution of FFT values (Standard cut off values were applied for grading) and it was prevalent to an extant of 68.0 to 93.8 percent and male and females were equally affected. Calorie intake was reported significantly reduced in all age groups in all districts in comparison to Recommended dietary allowances (RDA) of Indian Council of Medical research  (ICMR). Clinical cases of PEM (1.5 to 2.6%) were frequently seen in Barmer district in school age children.
The survey was planned to study the impact of drought on nutritional status of school age children of rural population in desert area facing the drought conditions very frequently, the results of which would help in assessing the magnitude and extent of malnutrition in this area in school children which is not given due attention in research priorities. Hence the main objectives of this study was to assess the nutritional status of school age children of drought affected areas of Western Rajasthan by means of nutritional anthropometry, dietary intake as well as through clinical examination and to perform the time trend analysis of malnutrition and to suggest possible redressel mechanism. The results of this study have also been compared with the findings of 1987 drought survey and baseline health survey (conducted by DMRC) to assess the impact of drought on nutritional aspects responsible for enhancing the higher prevalence of various morbidities.
The great Indian desert or Thar, as it is commonly called, is spread over 2,85,680 km2 area between 22° 30° N and 32° 50° N and from 68° 05° E to 75° 45° E. Within India it forms a part of the country's North West arid zone in the states of Rajasthan (69%), Gujarat (21%) and Punjab and Haryana (10%). The greater part of desert has remained arid to hyper arid although. Summer tempera¬ture remains high, reaching up to 50 °C in May and June in some places. Dust storms are quite common with wind velocity above 50 km/h. The desert dweller have for centuries lived under harsh conditions with bare minimum of potable water which was fetched from far off places and stored as a precious treasure. Milk and milk products were available rather in plenty, but not drinking water. The dominant land use in the Thar had traditionally been grazing for livestock, supplemented by rain-fed agriculture, producing millets, pulses and oil seed crops (CAZRI ). Hence millet and wheat constituted their main food. In Rajasthan state of India, there are 32 districts out of which 12 districts represent desert areas (Thar Desert). The total population residing in rural areas of Thar desert of Rajasthan, is 1,39,62,000 settled in 12359 villages according to Census 1994 .
Rapid drought survey was conducted and data were collected on a total of 1497 school age children (complete in all senses) i.e. 5-15 years covering 24 villages belonging to 6 tehsils of Jodhpur district in May, 2003. The children were examined at household level following simple random sampling technique. At each individual level, information for Demography and Socio-Economic aspects had been collected by means of interview technique using pre tested schedules. Each individual was examined for the nutritional anthropometry, dietary intake and clinically for nutritional deficiency signs in order to assess the nutritional status. School age children were examined by trained Medical Anthropologist and Physician using standard equipment and methods. All the anthropometric measurements (height, weight, and fat fold at tricep) were taken following standard techniques mentioned in ICMR , TRS No.26 and Jellife . According to WHO , the 'gold standard' in anthropometric assessment of children is weight-for-height, with the usual practice being to measure height of children. For nutritional anthropometry, the distribution of school age children according to weight-for-height using Standard Deviation classification  (SD classification) along with weight-for-age and height-for-age is provided. The internationally accepted WHO/NCHS [1,14] reference values have been used and the overall prevalence of wasting which is an indicator for short duration malnutrition (less than Median – 2SD), stunting and underweight were calculated. For nutritional deficiency signs, classification of clinical signs that are considered to be of value in nutritional assessment and are believed to be of value in clinical assessment of malnutrition were considered, as prescribed by Jellife . Each child was examined clinically from head to foot for nutritional deficiency signs. For dietary intakes, 24 hour recall method using oral questionnaire was adopted (ICMR , TRS No.26). As this survey was rapid drought survey due to urgency, only cereal and millets consumption survey were done as nearly 85 percent calories of the total daily calorie intake of the rural population of India is supplemented from the cereals and millets and in desert residents this proportion is more than 85 percent [6,15].
The results of the present study were compared with the earlier surveys conducted in Jodhpur district by Desert Medicine Research Centre (DMRC) during drought conditions  (1987) and normal conditions  (Baseline health survey, 1986), besides, the normal non-desert conditions  (DMRC, 1986). Methodologies adopted in these surveys for diagnosing nutritional deficiency signs, anthropometry and dietary intake were same as in the present study. The comparisons were made between male and female for different age groups by applying Chi square and Proportion Test as per feasibility. For dietary analysis the mean calorie and protein intakes were compared with DMRC drought survey and Baseline health survey by applying t-test for difference of means (Snedecor & Cochran) .
Results revealed that 96.3 percent of covered population was Hindus and majority belonged to lower and middle income groups  (85.7%) mainly involved in labor and famine work on drought relief work spots, followed by agriculture. Literacy status pertains to overall literacy. 57.8 percent women and 33 percent males were observed to be illiterate. Census  2003 reported that overall 60.6 percent women and 39.4 percent males were illiterate in rural areas of Jodhpur district. 35.1 percent of total population belongs to Scheduled caste (SC) and 31 percent to other back caste (OBC).
The data for mean weight and height of present study have been compared with the NCHS standard (Figure 1-2). The growth retardation was observed in children. The means of weight and height of both the sexes in the present study were found to be low in comparison to NCHS standards at almost all ages. Table 1, 2 and 4 represents the percent distribution of school age children according under nutrition (weight-for-age, height-for-age and weight-for-height) by SD classification.
In general, about 43.9 percent of the school age children had underweight, (less than Median – 2SD) while the prevalence of severe underweight (less than Median – 3SD) was found to be about 7.1 percent. Age wise analysis of overall under nutrition revealed that highest underweight was found in 5 years age groups followed adolescent age group i.e. 10-13 years (Table 4). Underweight was higher in boys than girls in all age groups except 9-10 years though statistically insignificant.
It signifies a slowing of skeletal growth and is a principal indicator of long-term nutritional experience or growth impairment caused by malnutrition in the past (WHO) . The overall prevalence of stunting (less than Median – 2SD) was about 36.6 percent with the extant of severe stunting (less than Median – 3SD) being about 11.0 percent. Age wise analysis revealed that 5 years age group and adolescent group children (9-14 years) suffered more from stunting. Severe stunting was found higher in girls (11.2%) than boys (10.9%) though statistically insignificant. Overall stunting is higher in girls than boys in most of age groups though statistically insignificant.
The overall prevalence of wasting (less than Median – 2SD), an indicator of short duration malnutrition was about 22.4 percent with the extant of severe wasting (less than Median – 3SD) being about 2 percent. Age wise, 10 to 11 years age group suffered more from wasting (29.3 & 25.5%). Wasting is higher in boys than girls in most of age groups except in 9 years age group.
Reduction in calorie consumption is likely to affect the fat deposits. It was observed that 25.2 percent school age children suffered from mild to moderate deficit in fat fold at triceps (FFT) and 64.6 percent suffered severally from FFT deficit which was found high. The results of the present study when compared with earlier drought survey of Jodhpur district, it was observed that 18.9 percent school age children suffered from mild to moderate deficit in fat fold at triceps (FFT) and 69 percent suffered severally from FFT deficit which was found high.
Table 3 shows the analysis of nutritional deficiency signs (Standard meth¬ods has been adopted as prescribed in ICMR TRS No. 26 and Jellife) [12,13]. The overall prevalence of anemia was observed to be 33.5 percent, diagnosed on the basis of conjunctival pallor and platynichia and koilonichia. Prevalence of marasmus was 0.4 percent, significantly higher in boys (0.7%) than girls (P < 0.05). Regarding vitamin A deficiency, overall prevalence of bitot spot was 1.0 percent and night Blindness was 0.4 percent. Regarding vitamin B complex deficiency, overall prevalence of angular stomatitis, cheliosis, and glossitis was observed to be 0.9 percent. Vitamin C deficiency was observed 1.4 percent (gums bleeding). The teeth caries and mottling of enamel were observed to be 4.8 and 19.2 percent respectively.
The results of the present study when compared with earlier drought survey of Jodhpur district, it was observed that prevalence of vitamin A deficiency and B complex deficiencies were found highly reduced in comparison to 1987 study i.e. bitot spot reduced from 42.8 to 1.0% and vitamin B complex deficiency from 81.9 to 2.7%. Overall prevalence of anemia was also reduced to 33.5 percent in comparison to earlier study  (72.1 %).
Table 3 also shows the comparison of data of nutritional deficiency signs in studied population with non desert data of Jaipur district. (DMRC , 1986 - Jaipur district in Rajasthan is having area of 14068 sq. km. with population density of 243/sq km. Average humidity during the year was 54.2% and total annual rainfall 61.57 cm. This data was collected in 1986-87 by Desert Medicine Research Centre and criteria being used to define and diagnose each illness was same as in the present study). This table shows that vitamin A and B complex deficiencies along with anemia, have been observed significantly higher in the present studied as compared to the non desert areas. This may be due the harsh environmental conditions and related socio-economic factors.
Nearly 85 percent calories of the total daily calorie intake of the rural population of India is supplemented from the cereals and millets and in desert residents this proportion is more than 85 percent (It is based on the evidence of the results of earlier studies Desert drought , 1987 and Desert normal and Non Desert, 1986  where overall calorie and protein intake was higher in Desert Drought study (1987) than Desert Normal and Non Desert study (1986) though in Desert Drought study (1987), only cereals and millets consumption survey was carried out whereas in Desert Normal and Non Desert study (1986), calorie and protein intakes was calculated from full information on whole diets consumed by population. This indicates that in desert area total daily calorie intake of rural population is supplemented mainly from cereals and millets). It was a rapid drought survey. Due to urgency and shortage of time, only cereal and millets consumption survey was carried out. Table 5 showed that mean calorie intake was very poor in comparison to recommended dietary allowances (RDA), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR)  i.e. 862.2 and 845.6 calories in males and females respectively. Calorie deficit was observed higher i.e. 61 percent. In the present study, mean calorie intake (845-862 calories) was observed to be significantly low (P < 0.01) in comparison to earlier studies [6,15] in drought and normal conditions, which might be responsible for the high prevalence of protein calorie malnutrition (PCM) in the present study (Table 5).
Deficit in the mean protein intake was also observed. Overall protein intake was 30.3 and 29.7 gm in males and females respectively, which were lower in comparison to recommended dietary allowances (RDA), Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) . Overall mean protein intake deficit was 42.3 percent. In the present study, mean protein intake (29-30 gm) was observed significantly low (P < 0.01) in comparison to earlier studies [6,15] which might be responsible for the increase of prevalence of protein calorie malnutrition in the present study (Table 5).
The frequency distribution of protein intake revealed that 6 to 50 percent children had protein intake less than 22.5 gm which was nearly half of the RDA, ICMR  values. Percentage of protein deficit was high.
Table 5 also showed the comparison of data of calorie and protein intakes with non- desert area . The overall deficit in calories and proteins intakes was significantly higher (P < 0.01) in the present studies as compared to non-desert areas . This may be due to the typical harsh environmental conditions of desert where children are exposed to extreme environmental conditions, rapidly occurring drought leading to poor economy affecting their dietary intake in turn.
Wasting, an indicator of short duration malnutrition, was 22.4 percent indicating severity of malnutrition to be critical as prevalence of wasting (% below Median – 2SD) is more than 15 percent (cut offs given by WHO) . Growth retardation was observed in children. In all age groups, means of weight and height of the studied children (both the sexes) were low in comparison to NCHS standards. Height for age signifies a slowing of skeletal growth and is a principal indicator of long-term nutritional experience or growth impairment caused by malnutrition in the past (WHO) . Stunting (long duration malnutrition) was observed 36.6 percent and underweight 43.9 percent. Stunting was higher in females than males in most of age groups, which might be due to the fact that girls were not being given proper care as reported earlier (Singh et al.) [19,20], whereas wasting and underweight was higher in boys than girls in all age groups except 9-10 years though statistically significant only in few age groups indicating boys suffered more from short term malnutrition. Extant of malnutrition in children was highest in 5 years age group followed by adolescent age groups i.e. 10-13 years which may be due to the fact that body requirement is more during adolescence period.
Most of the studies reported in literature are on preschoolers. Wasting, stunting and underweight were observed higher in the present study in comparison to other studies [4,7,21]. In Ethiopia study  (2001), 51.1 percent of children were below – 2 Z-score and 26.3 were below – 3 Z-score for height. The prevalence rate of underweight was 46 percent and the wasting was 11 percent. In NIN studies [7,21], wasting was observed 26.2 percent in 2000 and 15.4 percent in preschool children in 2003. In study of Malasiya , 37.5 percent school children were underweight, 43.6% were stunted and Wasting was 5.6 percent.
The results of the present study have shown that school age children of desert area suffered from protein calorie malnutrition, vitamin A and B complex deficiencies along with anemia. The prevalence of protein calorie malnutrition was higher in the present study in comparison to the earlier drought study in Jodhpur district (DMRC) , whereas, vitamin A and B complex deficiencies along with anemia have shown declining trend, which may be due to the supply of vitamin A and Iron by State Government. Present study children showed higher deficit in calories and proteins intake in their diet in comparison to earlier drought study which may be responsible for higher prevalence of protein calorie malnutrition in present studied children. This may be due to the fact that there was almost failure of monsoon for consecutive 3 years leading to reduced harvests and poor economy further declining the availability and accessibility of food to the community. Wheat and millets were the staple diet in this area. But due to crop failure, they mainly depended on wheat supplied in lieu of work done program. Green leafy and other vegetables were not available. Local desert dried vegetables/foods such as Ker (Capparis deciduas), Sangri (Prosopis cinereria) and Kumathiya (Acacia senegal) were consumed. There was no local production of agricultural and animal products yield during drought leading to shortage of food grains, fodder and increased unemployment of the labour with direct economic consequences along with food insecurity leading to malnutrition.
Study showed that malnutrition is existing not only in preschoolers but also in school age children to high extant in desert areas though the extant is more in preschoolers  (wasting 28%). Vitamin A and B complex deficiencies along with anemia were significantly higher in desert area population as compared to non-desert area (DMRC)  as well as from other studies from rural India (Vijayaraghvan & Hanumantha Rao  ; Mohapatra et al.), where protein calorie malnutrition was observed to be 0.2 and 4.5 percent respectively in preschoolers. Overall calorie and protein deficit was observed higher in present studies in comparison to non-desert area (DMRC)  as well as other parts of country (Vijayaraghvan & Hanumantha Rao) . It might be due to the harsh environmental conditions of desert areas where drought occurs quite frequently and adversely affects the economy, largely eroded the coping capacity and economic potential of the people, with heavy livestock losses and reduced harvests leading to increased poverty and poor food intake of the inhabitants, which in turn might be responsible for higher protein deficit in the studied group. Due to inadequate consumption of daily food the children were suffering from wasting and protein calorie malnutrition. Efforts should be made to incorporate the measures such as ensuring the supply of adequate calories and proteins to all age groups not only to under five children but also to school age children through the ongoing nutrition programs in order to improve the food security. Attention should also be given to school age children group in desert areas in the field of nutrition.

ABI: Insurers must focus on customers following election result
By Ben Dyson2017-06-09T14:09:00+01:00
Election result prompts ABI to urge customer focus
The insurance and long-term savings industry should put consumer concerns "front and centre" in its dealings with the new Parliament following the shock election result today, according to ABI director general Huw Evans.
In a blog on the election result, Evans said: "Whether it is reform of the discount rate, cracking down on compensation culture, welfare reform, savings policy or the pension dashboard, all our engagement with the new government and Parliament has to put the consumer benefits at the heart of our advocacy if we are to succeed."
He added: "We will be launching a new campaign about how our industry is 'Helping Britain Thrive' emphasising how we help our economy grow and act as vital employers, enablers and investors in regions across the UK."
In a surprising turn of events, the Conservative Party failed to win an outright majority, although it remained the biggest party measured by votes and seats in Parliament. The Conservatives are working on forming a government with the help of the Democratic Unionist Party.
Evans also played down the impact of the result on Brexit, noting that both Labour and the Conservatives had pledged to exit the Single Market and the Customs Union in their manifestos.
But he added: "It seems far more likely that a minority administration will seek to build greater consensus in Parliament on its negotiating position and how Brexit may be achieved and it seems likely that another election may have to be held before a final deal can be struck.
"The business community may want to take the opportunity now to stress the economic benefits of maximising continuity and co-operation and the damage that would be caused by a 'no deal' approach."

YEAST HISTONE H1 GLOBULAR DOMAIN II, HHO1P GII, SOLUTION NMR STRUCTURES
1uss, 10 NMR models
1uss is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Atcc 18824. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
Related: 1ust
[H1_YEAST] Could act as an H1-type linker histone. Has been shown to bind DNA.[1] [2]
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologue of the linker histone H1, Hho1p, has two domains that are similar in sequence to the globular domain of H1 (and variants such as H5). It is an open question whether both domains are functional and whether they play similar structural roles. Preliminary structural studies showed that the two isolated domains, GI and GII, differ significantly in stability. In 10 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7), the GI domain, like the globular domains of H1 and H5, GH1 and GH5, was stably folded, whereas GII was largely unstructured. However, at high concentrations of large tetrahedral anions (phosphate, sulphate, perchlorate), which might mimic the charge-screening effects of DNA phosphate groups, GII was folded. In view of the potential significance of these observations in relation to the role of Hho1p, we have now determined the structures of its GI and GII domains by NMR spectroscopy under conditions in which GII (like GI) is folded. The backbone r.m.s.d. over the ordered residues is 0.43 A for GI and 0.97 A for GII. Both structures show the "winged-helix" fold typical of GH1 and GH5 and are very similar to each other, with an r.m.s.d. over the structured regions of 1.3 A, although there are distinct differences. The potential for GII to adopt a structure similar to that of GI when Hho1p is bound to chromatin in vivo suggests that both globular domains might be functional. Whether Hho1p performs a structural role by bridging two nucleosomes remains to be determined.

stories of lust and love
A Dove's Wing
A Life Without
Hellbeasts
December 23, 2015 / misskatyaharris	/ 1 Comment
I have new releases! And yes, I'm really late in posting about them. Editing is kicking my butt.
Up first, we have "Destiny" which appears in Circlet Press'"Nights of the Round Table: Arthurian Erotica" anthology.
I love fantasy/mythological stories and so I jumped at the opportunity to create a story around one of my favourite legends. The thing about me is that I adore a good villain and so I had to write a story about Mordred, the son of Arthur and Morgan le Fey. How did he feel about his parentage? Was he happy with his destiny as Arthur's betrayer? Did he ever want a different life? These were the questions I asked myself when I wrote "Destiny" and I hope you like the story I came up with.
My story "Working Out the Kinks" that appears in Cleis Press' "Gym Boys: Gay Erotic Stories" anthology is totally different. Playful and saucy, this story centres on a personal trainer and his client, and their antics during a training session. Hopefully, it will get your heart pumping too 😉
It's almost Christmas. For those who celebrate it, Merry Christmas! For those who don't, Happy Holidays! Hugs and kisses and best wishes to you all! xxx
This site is for 18s and over.

Unhappy Endings

The Script made its seventh appearance on BBC Radio 1's "Live Lounge" at midday today (September 2nd). The Irish band visited the Fearne Cotton-hosted show to perform a two-song acoustic set. The first song they did was "Superheroes" - which is the lead single from their upcoming album "No Sound Without Silence" (September 12th) and currently holds the #1 position on UK iTunes – while the second song was a mystery cover and an acoustic cover that you will be impressed by.
Sia's "Chandelier". That was The Script's cover choice. The song may be losing momentum now but Danny O'Donoghue and Co. knew that if they were to do the "Live Lounge" this year, "Chandelier" had to be the song they covered. ("Chandelier" is the lead single from Sia's new album "1000 Forms of Fear").
They blew me away with their acoustic rendition of "Superheroes", but The Script blew me away even more with their cover of "Chandelier". Totally amazing, and totally unique. The three-man harmonies throughout the song was something I was not expecting. Sia will feel very proud when she hears this.

Brian is our history buff and has an endless knowledge of impeccable detail of all sorts of things to delight us throughout our days. He has often been my encyclopedia for many things I don't know very much about. The other day, He delighted our hearts with a story about Saint Patrick. Lewis asked me about it and I looked at Brian. He told us the story as we ate dinner and our hearts were full with inspiration and encouragement. Lewis had made a three leaf clover craft with Elaine the other day and as his daddy told him about St. Patrick teaching the Irish about the Trinity through the plentiful harvest of clovers that Ireland had, his eyes lit up! We thought it was so amazing how St. Patrick taught the Irish about God's love as a slave…and many were set free as a result (literally and spiritually)…and how creative God was through St. Patty to teach the Irish through a plant that was growing all around them.
God speaks to us in ways we can understand…although many of His ways, we cannot…He teaches us what we need to know, exactly the way we need…He knows how best we learn…He's been watching and teaching since our First Breath…and even long before that. He's so intimate. He's so creative. He reaches out to us in the Farthest Places of our hearts…in as many ways as fathomable. He's all encompassing. And His love never ends.
I loved hearing about St. Patty and how he gave up his rights, trusted God, and taught about God's love despite and through his circumstance. God used his obedience to bring salvation to MANY hearts.

Geschichte
Sczeken wurde 1318 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Die Feste war bis dahin Sitz des Vladiken Bavor von Štěkeň, der sie an Nikolaus von Janovice und Vimperk verkaufte. Štěkeň gehörte von 1412 bis 1610 den Herren Říčanský von Říčany und wechselte dann mehrfach den Besitzer. Nach der Schlacht am Weißen Berg wurde die Gutsherrschaft Štěkeň, bestehend aus dem Städtchen Štěkeň, vier Dörfern und einer Brauerei 1622 aus dem Besitz von Jan Malovec von Malovice konfisziert. 1648 erwarb der im Jahr zuvor aus der Schweiz nach Böhmen eingewanderte Adlige Jan Anton Losy von Losinthal die Herrschaft Štěkeň mit den zugehörigen Dörfern Řepice, Maldějovice, Přešťovice, Čejetice, Droužetice, Přeborovice, Brusy, Cehnice, Dunovice, Netonice, Radějovice, Paračov, Kuřimeny, Sudkovice und Černěkov von Johann Anton, Fürst von Eggenberg. Losy von Losinthal ließ zwischen 1664 und 1665 die Feste zu einem Schloss umbauen. Nach seinem Tode erbte 1682 sein Sohn Johann Baptist Štěkeň. Dieser starb 1683 und das Erbe trat dessen Bruder Johann Anton Losy von Losinthal an. 1720 übergab er seinen Besitz Štěkeň an seinen Sohn Adam Philipp. Nachdem Adam Philipp Graf Losy von Losinthal am 21. April 1781 ohne Nachkommen in Wien gestorben war, erbte dessen Witwe Ernestine Gräfin Fuchs von Bimbach die Herrschaft. Sie verkaufte den Besitz noch im selben Jahre an Joseph-Niklas zu Windisch-Graetz. Ihm folgte 1802 dessen Sohn Alfred I. zu Windisch-Graetz.

Nach der Ablösung der Patrimonialherrschaften wurde Štěkeň 1848 zur selbstständigen Marktgemeinde. Im Jahre 1850 lebten in Štěkeň 813 Menschen. 1862 erbte Alfred II. zu Windisch-Grätz die Güter in Štěkeň, 1876 folgte dessen Sohn Alfred III. zu Windisch-Grätz. Dieser verkaufte das Schloss am 4. September 1922 an das Institutum Beatae Mariae Virginis, das darin eine Internatsschule einrichtete. Am 1. September 1868 nahm die Eisenbahn den Betrieb auf und bis 1879 wurde die Strecke zwischen Budweis und Strakonice vollendet. Die Bahnstation in Čejetice wurde am 30. April 1891 in Štěkeň umbenannt. 1930 hatte der Ort 912 Einwohner. Im Jahre 2007 wurde der Status als Městys erneuert.

Virginia Governor apologises for KKK and blackface photo, then says it's not him
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam has denied he was in a racist photo that appeared in his 1984 student yearbook page even though he initially apologised for the photo.
The picture showed a man in blackface and another man in Ku Klux Klan robes.
Ralph Northam initially apologised for appearing in a photograph. In a video posted on Twitter, he said he could not "undo the harm my behaviour caused then and today" and labelled the photo "clearly racist and offensive."
He then held a press conference the day after to say that he in fact was not one of the men in a photo from his university yearbook.
"In the hours since I made my statement yesterday, I reflected with my family and classmates from the time and affirmed my conclusion that I am not the person in that photo," he told reporters, just one day after admitting he was in the photo.
"It has taken time to make sure that it's not me but I'm convinced I'm not on that photo," he said.

He said that he had blackened his face at a dance contest in San Antonio that same year and this was the source of his confusion. "It is because my memory of that is so vivid that I do not believe I am in the photo in the yearbook," he said.
The images were first published by conservative website Big League Politics and were tweeted out by The Virginian-Pilot newspaper.

Dawn & Patrick – We're Buying a Boat !!
We're Buying a Boat !!
Tuesday the selling broker broker brought the boat down to Bellingham so we could do the haul-out and complete the survey. The haul out was pretty amazing, my broker and I rode in boat while they lifted us about 30 feet above the water. I expected to hear a lot creaking and moaning but heard absolutely none. The survey went well and didn't yield any major surprises. After the haul out my Broker and I took the boat back to Blaine. We had an ebb the entire time but we were still pushing her pretty hard in order to beat the sunset. The engine ran solid the entire time, no overheating (yeah!) and I managed to figure out the autopilot as well which will be very handy.
Given that the survey went well, we're moving forward with the title search work and the rest of the documentation including USCG and WA State Registration and as part of that we'll be renaming her to Deep Playa. I've not written "the check" yet so we don't officially own the boat yet. I'm guessing by next week everything will be sorted out and we'll be proud owners of Deep Playa a 1981 Pearson 424 Hull # 152.

Poor Work-Life Balance Linked to Poor Health
Medically reviewed by Scientific Advisory Board — Written by Janice Wood on July 18, 2020
New research from Germany finds that working adults with poor work-life balance are more likely to report poor general health.
With only so many hours in the day, adults who work can be confronted with multiple challenges, including deadlines, financial obligations, and pressing family responsibilities. These situations can create work-life conflict and negatively affect a person's involvement in their work, family, and social life, researchers note.
This inability to balance work and life demands may then have an adverse effect on health, the researchers add.
To examine the associations between work-life balance and self-reported health among working men and women in Europe, a team of researchers at Universität Bielefeld and the Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology-BIPS in Germany analyzed data from the 6th European Working Condition Survey, conducted in 2015.
Survey participants were asked to report on their general health, how well their working hours fit in with family or social commitments outside of work, and a general description of their employment. The survey included responses from 32,275 adults across 30 countries.
According to the researchers' analysis, workers who reported poor work-life balance were twice as likely to also report poor health.
This association was slightly higher among women than men, although men were overall more likely to report poor work-life balance, the analysis found.
Longer weekly working hours were more likely to be reported by men than women, but men were more likely to determine their working hours themselves, while women frequently had their hours set by their company.
"Traditional and societal expectations of behavior for men and women, where women are responsible for caregiving and household activities and men responsible for paid work, may explain the gender work-life imbalance and adverse health outcomes we observed," said Aziz Mensah, a doctoral researcher at the University of Bielefeld and the study's lead author.
The researchers also compared work-life conflict and poor health across regions in Europe. Working men and women from Nordic countries, including Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway, were the most likely to report a good work-life balance (85.6 percent for men and 86.9 percent in women). Conversely, working men and women from Southern Europe, including Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Cyprus, and Malta, were the least likely to report good work-life balance (80.99 percent for men and 76.48 percent for women).
"Long working hours, increased psychological involvement in work, inflexible working times, and role overload can all contribute to work-life conflict among employees," said co-author Dr. Nicholas Kofi Adjei of the Leibniz Institute for Prevention Research and Epidemiology-BIPS.
"Variations in socioeconomic policies common to multiple countries, such as parental leave, support for child and elderly care, and general welfare and equality policies, may also have an effect on the balance of work and family life."
The study's findings demonstrate a need for organizations and policymakers to provide working conditions and social policies that allow adults to deal with competing demands from work and family activities without a negative effect on health, according to the researchers.
The researchers note that as work-life balance was assessed using a single question asking participants whether working hours fit in with family or social commitments, this may not encompass all contributing factors, but added it does serve as an important indicator. As self-reported data was used, individual's measures of general health may also differ across countries, they concluded.
The study was published in the open access journal BMC Public Health.

Prodigal **1/2
Music by Matthew Frank, book and lyrics by Dean Bryant, Midsumma Festival
fortyfivedownstairs, until Jan 28, 2011
Stars: **1/2
Recently, the number of original Australian musicals increased significantly. Prodigal was developed in 1999 when writers, Matthew Frank and Dean Bryant, were studying at WAAPA. It premiered in 2000, won a Green Room Award (Best Original Score) and scored an Off-Broadway season.
Prodigal is a chamber musical with five performers and a single piano. The show has merit but it feels and sounds like an early work by artists who promised a bright future in the musical theatre. This early show is like their baby pictures, to paraphrase Stephen Sondheim.
Frank's score provides singable, traditional show tunes and pop songs, although none are showstoppers. Bryant's book, based on the biblical story of the prodigal son, is credible and has poignant elements but it is predictable and the dialogue is often trite. However, the show is enjoyable and the crowd is touched by the tale.
Prodigal is a "coming out" story about Luke (Edward Grey), an 18-year old living in coastal Eden, where he is the perfect son, school captain and about to work in dad's fishing business with his tearaway brother, Kane (Adam Rennie). He disappoints mum (Anne Wood) and dad (Peter Hardy) when he runs off to university in Sydney. His life turns to ash after too much partying and drug taking and he returns home like the biblical prodigal.
The small cast is talented. Grey's clear tones and passionate performance bring Luke to life. Wood brings humour and a powerful and emotional performance to Luke's loving mum, Celia. Hardy gruff voice and blokey demeanour suit dad's country quality. Christina O'Neill plays a perky Maddy, Luke's wacky housemate and Rennie doubles as Luke's brother and boyfriend, Zach.
Prodigal is accompanied by a single piano played by local legend, Mark Jones. Although Jones' playing is rich and skilful, we crave a few more instruments and complexity. With the simplicity of the staging, static direction (Dean Bryant) and sparse design (Joanna Butler) the show feels thin.
Perhaps we shouldn't tamper with our baby pictures. Maybe we should let Prodigal remain an early work and look to the future works of Bryant and Frank for the jewels.
