Here's What Indigenous Cultural Appropriation in Wellness Culture Looks Like

The less obvious examples can be the most damaging.
By Chelsey Luger
I find it fascinating and surprising that the wellness industry has picked up on the Indigenous practice of "saging." In the last five years or so, trendy retailers like Goop and Anthropologie started offering sage-burning kits marketed as a way to clear "bad vibes." Though those brands eventually stopped selling the kits, saging is still alive and well on social media. In fact, #saging has more than 20 million views on TikTok.
What these companies and influencers call saging is actually smudging—the burning of plants in order to cleanse one's space, initiate prayer, or bring about peaceful energy—which has been practiced in my Anishinaabe and Lakota culture, as well as dozens of other Native American cultures, for centuries. But for most of my lifetime (and certainly throughout my parents' and grandparents'), Indigenous spiritual practices and beliefs have not only been disregarded by those outside of Indigenous cultures, but actively frowned upon, made fun of, and suppressed.
Due to the fact that Indigenous ceremonial traditions weren't formally legalized until 1978, when the American Indian Religious Freedoms Act was passed, a large chunk of the Native American population remains shut out of our spiritual practices. Many people in our communities didn't grow up learning about our spirituality at all. And those of us who did have often been met with barriers. For example, when I tried to burn sweetgrass in my dorm as a college freshman, my roommate made a complaint to administration and I was asked to stop because it made her uncomfortable. That's why the issue of cultural appropriation rings false for so many of us. It's easy for someone to step in and use or sell a piece of our culture because they think it's cool or profitable. But they've never had to experience our hardships, and they often don't understand, let alone use, our practices with respect.
Recently, I watched an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (yes, I am a spiritually rooted Indigenous person who also loves trashy reality TV). On the show, I saw an incident that highlighted the harm of treating Indigenous spirituality as a wellness trend. I regret to say that my two favorite castmates, Garcelle and Crystal, were the perpetrators. This was the scene: Garcelle used a stick of palo santo to "cleanse" her space prior to the always-volatile reunion episode. Crystal walked up and, without a word, shimmied her butt, gesturing to Garcelle to wave the smoke toward it. They laughed and carried on.
Non-Indigenous viewers might not think anything of that. But for those of us who grew up honoring plant medicine as sacred, the scene isn't funny. By mocking smudging, those women were suggesting that our spirituality is a joke. I wondered: Why even use it if you don't actually respect it or believe in it?
If you're curious about Indigenous spirituality, that's commendable—everyone should want to know more about us, and should feel frustrated and angry that our stories have been shut out of history and popular culture. Key to this is observing respectful boundaries: You can learn about another culture without feeling entitlement to it. You can recognize that misusing traditional cultural practices can lead to consequences like exploiting, stereotyping, and ultimately, mistreating people whose ancestors created them.
Is that Real Housewives scene the worst incident of discrimination I've ever witnessed? Certainly not! I could tell you countless stories of much more vile, direct, and blatant racism against Native people that I've seen over the years. That's why it's such an important example: It shows that discrimination isn't always loud and obvious. Often, pop culture is most guilty of perpetuating stereotypes—which is also the case with the rampant cultural appropriation in the wellness world.
I want to make it clear that I am giving the Real Housewives, and everyone else, the benefit of the doubt. I don't believe that most people want to mock or mimic our culture. I believe that they want to respect it. On that note, here are some common cases of appropriating Indigenous culture that you can look out for.
Educate yourself about common examples of cultural appropriation of Indigenous culture in wellness.
Commercial ayahuasca retreats. In the last 10 years or so, ayahuasca tourism has become a massively popular trend, with thousands of tourists every year traveling to the Amazon and beyond to have "shamans" administer the plant-based hallucinogenic drink. While Amazonian cultures have believed in the brew's healing benefits for centuries—and researchers are looking into its potential for treating health issues like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder—experts say the commercialization of this traditional practice is doing real harm to Indigenous communities and their land.
The non-Indigenous people running these retreats are profiting off of a traditional plant-medicine ceremony without a deep understanding of how and why it should be practiced, and the leaders of these ceremonies may be unqualified to administer ayahuasca. Likewise, the tourists participating aren't equipped with the cultural understanding necessary to reap its full benefits. Aside from these safety and efficacy concerns, the retreats themselves are culturally appropriative. As writer Mark Hay put it in an article for JSTOR: When Westerners spend a bunch of money on a commercial ayahuasca retreat, they "contribute to the wanton commodification and fetishization of the cultures whose practices they wish to insinuate themselves into, or to co-opt."
Wellness resorts that brand sweat lodges or other Indigenous ceremonies as "experiences." Indigenous spirituality just shouldn't be associated with tourism or industry. Our ceremonies are private, free events. The minute anyone charges money for or advertises them, that's your indication that these so-called ceremonies are not sanctioned by any Indigenous groups or communities at all—even if there are one or two Indigenous people involved.
Our medicine people are skilled practitioners who were born into families that have been practicing very specific healing protocols for generations. They've spent their lives studying and apprenticing to continue these spiritual practices. Outsiders who try to copy these practices offer a watered-down, inauthentic version, at best—essentially wasting people's money—or, at worst, promote dangerous versions of them. In one famous example, a self-help guru in Sedona, Arizona, co-opted the sweat lodge ceremony, and one of the participants at his retreat tragically died.
Practicing smudging out of cultural context. It's so hard to give straightforward rules on who should or should not use plant medicine. Even when Indigenous leaders do create such guidelines, there are exceptions. I will simply say that, in Indigenous communities, we do not take videos of ourselves while smudging; we understand our spiritual practices to be deeply personal and private, and when we pick and harvest our medicines, we do so under the guidance of a complex protocol that we learn from oral tradition.
That said, I will acknowledge that a variety of non-Indigenous religious and cultural groups "make smoke"—whether burning incense or plant medicines or lighting candles—and that because I do not represent those groups, I am in no position to offer guidelines for those practices. I hope that anyone seeking to burn medicine in a manner adjacent to Indigenous practice is conscious of the ongoing discrimination that Indigenous people face, and that they remain committed to respect for us and our culture.

Social media influencers self-branding as "medicine people" or "healers." Remember that most Indigenous medicine people do not advertise their knowledge on Instagram, do not share photos of ceremonies, and certainly do not attempt to gain "followings." Watch out for these so-called gurus who are probably not endorsed by the communities they claim.
While self-branded medicine people might seem harmless, their services should not be confused with authentic Indigenous practices. Anyone calling themselves a healer without a background in an Indigenous community or training in specific forms of medicine is an opportunistic person who is charging money for illegitimate services—and profiting off of our culture in the process.
Misuse of Indigenous face paint, body paint, and regalia. The adornments that Indigenous people use have meaning, are tied to personal family lineage, and are often earned or passed down—not invented or made up. Unfortunately, we still see adults wearing our feathers and face paint at festivals like Coachella and Burning Man because they think it looks cool. This is derogatory and disrespectful. Don't do it.
Support Indigenous cultural practices—and people—without appropriating.
Most Indigenous people today have witnessed and been impacted negatively by discrimination, whether they've seen unfair, short-sighted depictions of our people in pop culture, suffered the ongoing impacts of generations of structural and institutionalized racism, or been bombarded by ignorant questions in social situations. On the other hand, many of us have seen incredible progress take place in the recent past too.
As of the last five years, Indigenous Peoples Day and Native American Heritage Month have become widely celebrated holidays, Indigenous representation has improved by leaps and bounds in Hollywood thanks to TV shows like Reservation Dogs, and Indigenous leaders are now serving in some of the highest offices in the land—most notably Deb Haaland, the first Native American Secretary of the Interior.
Fortunately, Indigenous representation in wellness culture is getting better too. Thanks to the efforts of Indigenous leaders, organizations like Well For Culture (an Indigenous wellness initiative I cofounded with my husband, Thosh Collins, a photographer and educator who is O'odham, Osage, and Seneca), Newo Wellness, Studio Quila, Nike N7, Rising Hearts, and Red Girl Rising are among dozens that are paving the way.
Each of these organizations take unique approaches to revitalizing ancestral health knowledge, healing from historical trauma, making wellness accessible to Indigenous communities, and using social media to show the world what healthy, thriving Indigenous people look like. Instead of defining Native American and First Nations people by their hardships, this movement highlights that Indigenous people are part of an ancient and ongoing tradition of good health on this land, and that they have the power to pass this tradition on to future generations.
In the book I wrote with Thosh, The Seven Circles: Indigenous Teachings for Living Well, we welcome readers from all walks of life to recognize the beauty and power of an Indigenous approach to wellness. We encourage living in balance and embracing the ups and downs of a lifelong health journey, as opposed to offering a crash plan that aims for perfection.
As far as the wellness world's relationship to Indigenous people, we're in a state of growing pains. While the surge in interest around our traditions is different from complete dismissal, it comes with a huge learning curve. I welcome everyone who wants to become a true ally to Indigenous people to learn our histories, understand our goals for cultural revitalization and reclamation, and contribute to reputable groups and organizations, such as NDN Collective, Illuminatives, and the Native Wellness Institute.
Our ancestral teachings contextualize health as a dynamic, cyclical journey that entails interconnected mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional components. Our communities continue to be experts in this approach. Recognizing and learning from this worldview can help allies engage with Indigenous teachings respectfully.
Rather than appropriating Indigenous culture, educating yourself about and contributing to Indigenous people directly are meaningful ways to show reverence and respect for the ongoing, collective healing journey of Native American communities. It is my hope and my goal to see vast improvement in how the wellness community understands and interacts with all cultures globally. I believe so much in my mission: spreading the truth and beauty of Indigenous history, in wellness and beyond. Within this, I've seen, and am moved, that there are many allies out there who are committed to partnering with Indigenous people in bringing this vision to life. I hope you'll join us too.

The Towns County Jail, also known as Old Towns County Jail, in Hiawassee, Georgia was built in 1935-36 by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration and modified in 1981.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.  As of 1985, the building served as Hiawassee City Hall.

It is a two-story rock building with a hipped roof.

The Towns County Herald noted in 1936 that the completed jail was a "'modern, safe, sanitary, and commendable structure'" and praised Ordinary J. F. Johnson for his work building the jail, which cost $4,353 in total.  It served as Towns County's jail until the 1970s, when a joint jail shared with Union County was built.

It was one of seven county jails reviewed for National Register listing in 1985.

The first 10 lots of the Spectre auction were offered yesterday, and altogether, they brought almost $4 million – which is great news since all the proceeds went to charity. Our eyes were obviously set on the prototype Seamaster worn by Daniel Craig, and it blew well past the initial estimate of £15,000 - £20,000 ($21,375–$28,500) reaching over $130,000. And I am sure that you are also wondering who took home his Aston DB10. Well, I fear I can't answer that, but the battle for this incredible car was fierce, and stopped near the $3.5 million mark, again a solid multiple over the estimates. And the Spectre auction is not finished yet, as some 14 additional lots from the movie are still available for online bidding.

Prototype Omega Seamaster 300 Worn By Daniel Craig – Sold For $132,000
As we mentioned in our previous article here, this Seamaster 300 is one step beyond the Spectre Limited edition, as it is actually one of the eight prototypes that Daniel Craig wore during the filming of Spectre, from the Austrian Alps to the Moroccan desert. Even better, this Omega is the prototype Number 1; all these explains the frenzy around this lot, which eventually reached $132,000. The Longines Heritage from M did very well too, reaching close to $30,000.
One And Only Aston Martin DB10 – Sold For $3.5 Million
This DB10 was announced as the only one to ever be offered for sale (James Bond had previously smashed seven of the 10 DB10s that Aston Martin hand-built for the set. You can imagine the intense competition to acquire this special car. The starting estimate was £1,000,000 - £1,500,00 ($1,425,000 - $2,137,500) but the car eventually hammered for $3,476,466 –, an impressive amount for a car that you would not be allowed to use on public roads. Yet, its curves trump any underlying rationale – this DB10 is seriously endearing!
And The Auction Continues Online
If, like Jack, you really want the metallic fingernails of the villain, there is a good news; you can bid on the remaining lots for the next three days here. If you are feeling more peaceful but feisty, you can also bid on the cocktail set from the train scene – one way to make sure your dry martini is really top notch.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Another kick in the pants.
One week after losing on a last-second field goal, Marshall failed to convert a potential game-tying PAT with 1:15 left in regulation as Southern Miss held on for a 28-27 victory Saturday in a Conference USA football contest on Senior Day at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
The Thundering Herd (7-5, 4-4 CUSA) had played catch-up most of the afternoon against the Golden Eagles (8-4, 6-2), and the game appeared to be headed for its fourth tie of the day following MU senior Ryan Yurachek's third touchdown grab with 75 seconds left.
Trailing 28-27 and looking for a tie, the Green and White sent their kicking team out for a standard point-after try.
The snap, however, was mishandled by place-holder Jackson White — who was ultimately never able to get the ball down for kicker Kaare Vedvik to boot.
White eventually left the pocket and scrambled backwards to his right, all while being chased by a handful of USM defenders. White, while being hit, flung a side-arm pass towards the end zone, but the pass was intercepted — allowing USM to maintain a one-point advantage.
Marshall's attempt at an onside kick failed moments later, and the Black and Gold ran out the clock while sneaking out of Cabell County with the 28-27 triumph.
The Thundering Herd — who finished the day minus-2 in turnover differential — have now lost four of their last five decisions after starting the season 6-1. MU has also dropped two straight overall by three total points, as well as an eight-point difference in the last three setbacks.
It was a tough outcome to accept, but Marshall head coach Doc Holliday acknowledged the fact that he expected a 60-minute battle.
And, in the end, the Golden Eagles did just enough to win that war.
"We thought going in that it was going to be a fight … and that's what it was," Holliday said. "I thought it would come down to a couple plays and that's what it did. Unfortunately, we turned the ball over three times and, when you do that, you can't win a football game.
"It came down to the kick there at the end to send it into overtime, and obviously we didn't get it done. Southern Miss played extremely well. We did some good things, but at the end of the day, they made one more play then we did."
USM never trailed in the first half as the guests opened the scoring with an 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended with an Ito Smith 3-yard run. Parker Shaunfield added the first of four successful PAT kicks, giving Southern Miss a 7-0 lead 51 seconds into the second quarter.
After trading punts, the Herd put together a 10-play, 87-yard drive that tied the game at seven as Chase Litton found Willie Johnson on a 26-yard scoring pass with 5:15 left until halftime.
Southern Miss followed with a 6-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off by a Kwadra Griggs 16-yard TD pass to Korey Robertson, again putting the guests in front by a 14-7 margin with 3:42 remaining.
MU responded with a 36-yard kickoff return by Tyler King, plus a personal foul penalty gave the hosts possession at the USM 48.
The Herd needed only three plays to cover that ground as Yurachek hauled in a 3-yard pass from Litton at the 2:13 mark, tying the game at 14 headed into the intermission.
Both teams traded punts and turnovers to start the second half, giving Marshall the ball at the USM 26 following a fumble recovery by Brandon Drayton.
The Herd's only lead came two plays later as Yurachek hauled in an 11-yard TD pass from Litton. Vedvik tacked on his final extra-point of the day for a 21-14 advantage with 11:31 left in the third canto.
The Golden Eagles answered with a 14-play, 93-yard drive that ended with a 3-yard TD pass from Griggs to Allenzae Staggers, tying the game at 21-all with 1:54 remaining in the third.
USM forced a fumble early in the fourth, then strung together a 5-play, 54-yard drive that was capped off by a Griggs to Staggers 9-yard TD pass for a 28-21 cushion with 9:44 left in regulation.
Both teams traded punts on the next four possessions, giving Marshall the ball on its own 42 with 2:22 remaining. The hosts needed six plays to cover 58 yards, with Yurachek hauling in a 9-yard pass from Litton for a 28-27 contest with 1:15 left.
Marshall outgained USM by a slim 382-371 overall margin in total yards and also claimed a 23-22 edge in first downs. Both teams missed a field goal apiece and each squad scored seven points off of four total turnovers.
King led the Herd ground game — which produced 74 yards on 26 attempts — with 48 yards on nine carries. Keion Davis added 31 yards on 15 tries.
Litton was 26-of-44 passing for 308 yards, throwing four touchdowns and one interception. Yurachek caught seven passes for 56 yards and three TDs, while Johnson had six grabs for 86 yards and a score.
Hyleck Foster also had five catches for 87 yards for Marshall, which played its third straight contest without leading wideout Tyree Brady.
Chase Hancock led the MU defense with 18 tackles, while Drayton added 12 stops and a fumble recovery. The Herd did not record a sack in the setback.
Smith led Southern Miss with 150 rushing yards and a score on 29 carries, while Griggs added 61 rushing yards to go along with a 16-of-35 passing performance for 170 yards and three scores.
Robertson led the guests with seven catches for 118 yards and a score. Staggers had four grabs for 27 yards and a pair of TD scores.
Kelsey Douglas led the Golden Eagle defense with nine tackles. Curtis Mikell and Allen Fails each recovered a fumble, while Tarvarius Moore also picked off a pass. Paxton Schrimsher had the lone sack for USM.
Marshall — which is one of 10 Conference USA schools that are bowl-eligible — now has to wait over a week to see where its next contest will be played … and who the Herd will face.
Holliday is a perfect 4-0 in bowl games at MU, so he is hoping that this group can get some things figured out between now and the holiday season.
"I like this football team a lot. They've played extremely hard, but they've got to get smarter and take care of the ball. This team has never been as issue as far as showing up and playing, they've done that all year. I'm proud of them for that, but unfortunately the last couple weeks have been a tough couple weeks," Holliday said. "These guys are resilient and these are tough kids. They've worked extremely hard. The leadership on this team will make sure they come back and prepare like we do for bowls games and get better."

The Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 - Carecraft Orders & Disqualification undertakings
Insolvency Act 2000 - Disqualification Undertaking or Disqualification Order?
Disqualification Undertakings and its predecessor "Carecraft Orders".
Following the introduction on The Company Directors Disqualification Act in 1986 for any director to be classed as "unfit" (and therefore subject to being disqualified to act as a director) that person had to be taken to Court for an appropriate Court Order to be made. That led to much expensive litigation with the Defendant director on the one side and the DTI (as they then were) on the other.
The concept of a Carecraft Order first arose in a case where a director agreed to disqualification for a set period of years prior to the case having to go to trial. By coming to such an agreement the director avoided much of the court costs which can be substantial. The director however, still had to meet the costs incurred up to the point at which he agreed to the disqualification.
Under the carecraft procedure the director agreed with the DTI Company Directors Disqualification Unit
a statement of facts and
a set period of disqualification
The agreement would then be submitted to the court so that the appropriate court order could be made.
Following the introduction into law of the Insolvency Act 2000 the procedure has been simplified even further. The relevant sections of the Insolvency Act 2000 were brought into effect on the 2nd April 2001. From that day on it has been possible for directors to enter into "disqualification undertakings" direct with the DTI without there having had to have been any court appearances.
In consequence these days Carecraft Orders are not applied for as their is now a statutory route to agree a Disqualification Undertaking and therefore substantially limit the costs of the disqualification process.
If however a director who the DTI considers to be unfit does not agree a disqualification undertaing then the matter is taken to Court. If in the Court's assessment the director is "unfit" then the Court may make a Disqualification Order barring the individual from being a director for a period of between 2 and 15 years.

Second rest day in the Tour
Alejandro spoke to the media
On the occasion of the second rest day of the Tour that Movistar Team riders spent in Avignon, Alejandro spoke to the media present at the hotel after they had a one hour and a half ride.
"I wasn't as lucky as I had expected to be in this race, but we still have reasons to be happy", told Alejandro. "There's Nairo, up-front in the race – he's looking good and has a week full of mountains in front of him to shine; if you look at the profiles and the climbs, it's the hardest in this year's Tour. The goal for the remainder of the race is winning a stage, but we know Nairo has a podium place at reach. Claiming it would be really important for the team, and of course, I'd like to win a stage. Although I don't care about which stage should I win, Alpe d'Huez might be an appropiate goal – the beginning of the stage is hard, those riders wanting to enter the break must be strong, and we might stand a chance.
"Yesterday we could see Nairo is super strong in the mountains: he launched his attack with 15k to go and almost managed to stay with Froome until the end, but we saw that he doesn't only want to lead the race – he also wants to win almost every single mountain-top finish. Our toughest rival to date? Well, maybe. Wiggins was unbeatable last year, too. Froome is playing Wiggins' role this season; he wins wherever he goes.
"As long as we haven't got to Paris, or until Saturday at least, we can't say the Tour is over. For the time being, Froome is showing to be the strongest rider on course, but this week ahead, even being the strongest, can make a bad day become a true fail and lose a lot of time. But truth said, it's really hard to beat him at the moment.
"The Vuelta? For the moment, we have to stay focused on the Tour – there will be time to rest and go for it after that. It was on my calendar already before the Tour, and it's still in. There's still a week ahead and I'm feeling strong, so there shouldn't be any troubles to ride. But I won't be saving any energy in this Tour. We're in a great position to get one of us into the podium, and we can't miss it. Let's finish this year's Tour and we will see if we take part in this race in the next few years".

Acts of Apostles - Chapter 1
Acts of Apostles Chapters
1 In my earlier work, Theophilus, I dealt with everything Jesus had done and taught from the beginning
2 until the day he gave his instructions to the apostles he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven.
3 He had shown himself alive to them after his Passion by many demonstrations: for forty days he had continued to appear to them and tell them about the kingdom of God.

4 While at table with them, he had told them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for what the Father had promised. 'It is', he had said, 'what you have heard me speak about:
5 John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.'
6 Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?'
7 He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority,
8 but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'
9 As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.
10 They were still staring into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white were standing beside them,
11 and they said, 'Why are you Galileans standing here looking into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.'
12 So from the Mount of Olives, as it is called, they went back to Jerusalem, a short distance away, no more than a Sabbath walk;
13 and when they reached the city they went to the upper room where they were staying; there were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude son of James.
14 With one heart all these joined constantly in prayer, together with some women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 One day Peter stood up to speak to the brothers -- there were about a hundred and twenty people in the congregation,
16 'Brothers,' he said, 'the passage of scripture had to be fulfilled in which the Holy Spirit, speaking through David, foretells the fate of Judas, who acted as guide to the men who arrested Jesus-
17 after being one of our number and sharing our ministry.
18 As you know, he bought a plot of land with the money he was paid for his crime. He fell headlong and burst open, and all his entrails poured out.
19 Everybody in Jerusalem heard about it and the plot came to be called "Bloody Acre", in their language Hakeldama.
20 Now in the Book of Psalms it says: Reduce his encampment to ruin and leave his tent unoccupied. And again: Let someone else take over his office.
21 'Out of the men who have been with us the whole time that the Lord Jesus was living with us,
22 from the time when John was baptising until the day when he was taken up from us, one must be appointed to serve with us as a witness to his resurrection.'
23 Having nominated two candidates, Joseph known as Barsabbas, whose surname was Justus, and Matthias,
24 they prayed, 'Lord, you can read everyone's heart; show us therefore which of these two you have chosen
25 to take over this ministry and apostolate, which Judas abandoned to go to his proper place.'
26 They then drew lots for them, and as the lot fell to Matthias, he was listed as one of the twelve apostles.

Milacron gives more details about IPO
Bill Bregar
Milacron LLC gave out more details about its proposed initial public stock offering, including the number of shares of common stock — 14,285,714 — and the venue — the New York Stock Exchange.
Milacron filed an amended S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange on June 15. The plastics machinery manufacturer filed the original S-1 on April 3, announcing its plans to go public. Milacron's owner, private equity firm CCMP Capital Advisors LLC, will continue to own about 62.1 percent of the common stock after the IPO, the amended S-1 said.
Net proceeds from the IPO would be estimated $276.3 million, after deducting expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions, according to the amended S-1. Milacron officials expect the offering price will be between $20 and $22 per share.
According to the filing, Milacron would use the money to repay a portion of the debt outstanding from its term loan — a $730 million secured loan agreement. That term loan has a maturity date of Sept. 28, 2020.
Milacron also would use IPO money to pay $15 million of the debt outstanding under an asset-based lending facility.
Both of those debt instruments were part of a debt restructuring done by the machinery company.
The S-1 document does not give a date when Milacron plans to conduct the stock offering.
Milacron will move its headquarters from the Oakley neighborhood of Cincinnati to Blue Ash, a suburb. Under an Ohio tax credit approved June 1, the company will invest $11 million in its Ohio facilities and add nearly 300 jobs.


Nov. 14, 2017 8:09 p.m.
A Fraser Valley man charged with first-degree murder in connection with the violent slaying of a woman found dead last year in an Aberdeen motel has been given three weeks to hire a new lawyer.
David Albert Miller appeared briefly in B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday, where a judge granted his adjournment application.
The 55-year-old is accused of killing Debra Novacluse, 52. Her body was discovered at the Super 8 hotel on Hugh Allan Drive on Aug. 27, 2016.
Police said Miller was identified as a suspect early in the investigation and they tracked his movements to Ontario, where he was arrested in September 2016.
Investigators have said they believe Miller and Novacluse travelled to Kamloops together from Abbotsford prior to the slaying.
Miller has been without a lawyer since last month. In August, he was committed by consent to stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court.
Miller, who has been in custody since his arrest, will return to court on Dec. 4.

Documentary 'For Ahkeem' Screens Nov. 11 at St. Louis Film Festival
By ksinger on 08 November 2017 in Film & Media Archive, What's New
The new documentary "For Ahkeem" follows 17-year-old Daje Shelton after she has been expelled from her public high school in North St. Louis and is sent to the court-supervised Innovative Concept Academy by Judge Jimmie Edwards.
"For Ahkeem"
The film is part of the free program "Mean Streets: Viewing the Divided City Through the Lens of Film and Television" at the St. Louis International Film Festival. "Mean Streets" is presented by Washington University Libraries, Washington University's Sam Fox School's College of Architecture and Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design, Cinema St. Louis and the Missouri History Museum.
"Mean Streets" is made possible through the generous funding of the Missouri Humanities Council and is part of "The Divided City" initiative, a joint project of Washington University's Center for the Humanities and the College of Architecture and Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design. "The Divided City" is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
"For Ahkeem" screens at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11, at the Missouri History Museum. Co-directors Jeremy Levine and Landon Van Soest, producer Jeff Truesdell, field producer Brad Rayford, and subject Shelton will participate in a Q&A after the film.
We spoke with Truesdell, a writer for People magazine and a St. Louis resident, about the documentary. He wrote about the Innovative Concept Academy and Edwards in 2011 for People. This interview was edited for length and clarity.
How did the film develop from a People magazine story into a documentary?
I was fascinated by the efforts of the St. Louis Circuit Court and St. Louis Public Schools to try to create a second chance opportunity for kids who were being booted out of public schools out of zero-tolerance policies. Those were the kids who lose their way oftentimes on the path toward graduation and fall into what we've come to know as the school to prison pipeline.
When I finished the article, I knew that there was a much larger story to be told. I was fortunate to partner with a team of New York-based filmmakers (Jeremy Levine and Landon Van Soest ) who came to town and agreed with me that this was a story that they wanted to tell.
While we were filming several kids in the school and searching for the right candidate to help us illustrate their experiences, one young lady, Daje Shelton, emerged front and center with a story that we felt was incredibly compelling.
She is so open and eloquent about her life.
She is remarkable. She was not initially one of the students we were following. As we began the process we pulled aside about two dozen kids one at a time off-camera to sit and talk with them about their lives, their dreams and what it was that caused them to be in this alternative high school.
On one of those instances we were at someone's house on a Friday night. Two girls were sitting in the bedroom braiding hair and as the cameras were rolling, Daje Shelton walked in the room. She plopped down on the bed and then something happened where she revealed that she had been shot. It wasn't a recent injury; it was just something that had happened to her. And the response of the girls was so casual and normal that I think we all responded with a sense of "Wow, what is going on here?"
Then about six months into the filming process, which had begun in October 2013, things began to happen in her life, choices that she was making, things happening around her that made us think, OK, this is our story. We wanted to follow her and spend time with her, and she became this incredibly relatable protagonist.
During the filming of the movie, Michael Brown was shot and killed. How did you decide to let that be part of the story? The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson in late summer of 2014 happened a year into our filming. We were already in place because it was the start of Daje Shelton's senior year. It struck us instantly as an immediate echo of the way Daje and her peers saw themselves, their potential, their opportunities, their future.
What has been the audience reaction to the film? We have be fortunate to share this film with audiences of court personnel, educators, academics, social justice advocates, and high school students, not just in St. Louis but all around the country. The response is always so supportive. Educators see the film, and they tell us what they see is the number of people it takes to make a difference in the life of each child.
We had an incredible opportunity to share this film with inmates at a male correctional facility. When the lights came up, the room was full of tears because these men recognized themselves in her story. They recognized that there were people in her life that refused to give up on her even when she wanted to give up on herself. Even more than that, they saw themselves as the disembodied voice of her high school boyfriend calling from jail and reaching out to wives, girlfriends, mothers, and grandmothers, and they realized, perhaps for the first time, some of the damage they had done in the lives of others.

Discussing Opioid Addiction at Lycoming College
It's always great to return to my Alma Mater! On April 4th, I had the pleasure to speak to Dr. Sarah Holstein's Drugs, Behavior, and Society Class at Lycoming College. The students were particularly interested in state legislative action to address the opioid epidemic. The opioid overdose epidemic is the worst public health crisis in Pennsylvania, and the nation, in almost a generation. According to provisional data released from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Pennsylvania registered 5,545 overdose deaths during a 12-month period leading up to August 2017.

I was happy to speak on a number of important issues including our most recent Center for Rural Pennsylvania Public Hearing on Broadband Availability, as well as on Sunday hunting and the state's opioid epidemic.
National Work Zone Awareness Week, April 9-13
Spring is finally upon us and work zones are popping up across the state. With the start of construction season, motorists are urged to use caution when approaching a work zone for the protection of the highway workers and the motorists themselves.
Sadly, 88 PennDOT employees have lost their lives in the line of duty, most recently Robert Gensimore, a Highway Foreman in Blair County was struck and killed while setting up flares for a separate crash in February of this year.
PennDOT suggest these safety tips when encountering work zones:
Drive the posted work zone speed limit;
Stay alert and pay close attention to signs and flaggers;
Turn on your headlights if signs instruct you to do so;
Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and do not tailgate;
Use four-way flashers when stopped or traveling slowly;
Avoid distractions and give your full attention to the road;
Always buckle up;
Expect the unexpected;
Be patient.

The Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils met in the 1995 Eastern Conference Final. The Flyers were fresh off their surprising four-game sweep of the defending Stanley Cup-champion New York Rangers, while the Devils had just completed their unlikely upset of the Pittsburgh Penguins in five games. The Flyers were looking to get back to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1987, while the Devils were hoping to make it to the Cup Finals for the first time in team history.
New Jersey shocked the Philadelphia and their home crowd in game one at the Spectrum, taking a commanding 3–0 lead after the first two periods. They made it 4–0 on Bill Guerin's second goal of the game, at 2:04 of the third period. Martin Brodeur's shutout bid was erased, however, as Craig MacTavish got the Flyers on the board with 1:54 remaining in regulation. The Devils won the game 4–1 to take a 1–0 lead in the series. The Flyers fought back in game two, as Mikael Renberg's goal at 13:54 of the first period gave his team a 2–1 lead; its first lead in the series. However, Devils forward John MacLean would score with just 12 seconds remaining in the period to tie the game at 2–2. New Jersey then went on to score three times in the second period, and won the game 5–2. After dominating the first two games at the Spectrum, the Devils headed home for game three, up two games to none in the series. In game three, Philadelphia played with a sense of urgency. Trailing 2–1, the Flyers tied the game on Rod Brind'Amour's goal with 6:03 to go in regulation. They went on to win the game 3–2 on captain Eric Lindros' goal at 4:19 of the first overtime period. Playing with their newfound confidence, the Flyers won game four as well, 4–2, despite being outshot 34–19. Flyers goaltender Ron Hextall made 32 saves. The win tied the series at 2–2 and set up a crucial game five on Sunday, June 11th at the Spectrum. The Devils took a 2–1 lead into the second period, which ended up scoreless. The Flyers tied the game on Kevin Dineen's second goal of the game at 3:13 of the third period. The Devils almost regained the lead on Stephane Richer's breakaway shot that hit the crossbar with less than four minutes to go in regulation. Then, with less than a minute remaining, Devils forward Claude Lemieux picked up the puck on a backcheck in the New Jersey zone and skated up the ice. Once over the Flyers' blue line, Lemieux fired a slap shot that beat Hextall blocker side. The goal silenced the Spectrum crowd and gave New Jersey a 3–2 lead with just 44.2 seconds to play. The Devils hung on to win the game 3–2.
In game six on June 13th, Philadelphia opened the scoring on Jim Montgomery's goal at 4:05 of the first period. The Devils, however, calmly utilized their neutral-zone Trap to shut down the Flyers' offense while their forwards took advantage and got their team on the board. Stephane Richer tied the game with a power-play goal at 10:25 and Brian Rolston put the Devils up 2–1 with a goal at 18:15. The scored remained 2–1 for New Jersey until midway through the second period. Flyers forward Craig MacTavish, skating over the Devils' blue line, took a slap shot that was blocked by New Jersey defenceman Shawn Chambers. New Jersey forward Bobby Holik then picked up the puck and skated up the ice with forward Randy McKay on the right side and Claude Lemieux as the trailer. Once over the Flyers' blue line, Holik feathered the puck under the legs of the diving Flyers defenseman Kevin Haller and it went right to the stick of Randy McKay, who one-timed it into the net behind Flyers goaltender Ron Hextall. The goal came at 11:58 and gave New Jersey a 3–1 lead. They made it 4–1 at 10:11 of the third period when Bobby Carpenter passed the puck past Flyers defenceman Karl Dykhuis up to Claude Lemieux at center ice who went in on a breakaway and scored his league-leading 11th goal of the playoffs. He had been tied with Pittsburgh's Jaromir Jagr, who had scored 10 goals in the Penguins' 12 playoff games of 1995. With the goal, Lemieux also broke his personal record for most goals scored in a playoff year that he had set in 1986 as a member of the Montreal Canadiens. The Flyers fought back as Mikael Renberg scored on the power play at 16:29 to cut the Devils' lead to 4–2, but New Jersey held its lead and went on to win the game and advance to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in team history.

The Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks met in the 1995 Western Conference Finals. The Red Wings had just completed a four-game sweep of the San Jose Sharks, and the Blackhawks had just completed their sweep of the Vancouver Canucks. Detroit was having its best playoff since 1988, and was hoping to make it to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1966. Chicago, on the other hand, was back in the Conference Finals for the first time since 1992, when they last made it to the Cup Finals.
Game one of the series at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit saw a goaltending battle between Ed Belfour of Chicago and Mike Vernon of Detroit. The two teams skated to a 1–1 tie after regulation before Nicklas Lidstrom scored the game-winning goal for Detroit at 1:01 of the first overtime period. It was the first overtime playoff game that Detroit had won at home since Tuesday, March 29, 1960. In game two, Chicago led by a score of 2–1 after two periods on goals by Chris Chelios and Tony Amonte. However, Detroit kept pressing and eventually tied the game on Doug Brown's goal. Kris Draper scored the winner for Detroit with just 1:45 remaining in regulation. In game three of the series at the United Center in Chicago, Detroit led 3–2 going into the third period, where Jeff Shantz scored at 8:33 to tie the game for Chicago. The game went to double overtime where Vladimir Konstantinov scored the game-winner for Detroit at 9:25. The win gave the Red Wings a commanding three-games-to-none series lead. The Blackhawks responded to the urgency and came out flying in game four. Denis Savard and Joe Murphy both scored twice and captain Dirk Graham had a goal to give Chicago a dominating 5–0 lead after 40 minutes. Detroit scored twice in the third period on goals by Kris Draper and Ray Sheppard, as the Blackhawks went on to win the game 5–2. They now trailed in the series 3 games to 1. In game five in Detroit on Sunday, June 11th, Chicago jumped out to a 1–0 lead on Denis Savard's power play goal at 10:18 of the first period. Detroit then tied the game on Steve Yzerman's goal at 11:36 of the second. After a scoreless third period, the game went into double overtime where Vyacheslav Kozlov scored at 2:25 to give the Red Wings a 2–1 win and a four-games-to-one series win.

The Philippine Heritage Institute International, a private foundation, will host a Youth Congress at the Art Theater Long Beach, Saturday, August 4, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. After initial introductions and presentations by members of the Philippine Scouts Heritage Society, the Institute will show Forgotten Soldiers from 10:00 am to 11:30 am. Producer/Director Donald Plata will introduce the movie and the screening is open to the public. After the film, Youth Congress participants will have lunch, additional presentations and a reception. Attendees are invited to adjourn to the US-Philippines Expo at the Pomona Fairgrounds.
Forgotten Soldiers: 10:00 am, Saturday, Aug 4, Art Theater Long Beach, 2025 East Fourth St., Long Beach, California--the film screening is open to the public.
At the beginning of World War II General Douglas MacArthur's 80,000 Filipino and American troops on Bataan faced one of the worst atrocities in military history--the Bataan Death March. In Forgotten Soldiers, narrator Lou Diamond Phillips and ten Philippine Scout survivors describe the battles of Bataan and Corregidor, the Death March, and eventual liberation of the Philippines, over photographs, reenactments and actual footage of the events. The 12,000 Filipino and American soldiers of the Philippine Scouts were the backbone of the doomed Allied forces but few Americans today are even aware of this unique segment of the United States Army. They are America's FORGOTTEN SOLDIERS.
The Philippine Heritage Institute Youth Congress aims to develop talents and skills for leadership, and nurtures the all-important spirit of volunteerism. The Youth Congress teaches that service to humanity in need is a civic responsibility and is part and parcel of a purposeful life. The Institute is screening Forgotten Soldiers to increase awareness among participants of the proud heritage of accomplishment and sacrifice made by the Philippine Scouts during World War II.
The premiere of the"ForgottenSoldiers", a new documentary by Donald Plata about the valor, professionalism, and sacrifices of the Philippine Scouts during World War II.

City of Los Angeles recognizes Donald Plata for Forgotten Soldiers.
October 12, 2012. The City of Los Angeles awarded Film Producer/Director Donald A. Plata the 2012 Filipino-American History Achievement Award at Los Angeles City Hall for his production of the documentary film, Forgotten Soldiers. Don was also awarded Certificates of Recognition from the City and the California Senate, and a Commendation from the County of Los Angeles.
Don Plata began the Forgotten Soldiers project six years ago, recording video memoirs of former members of the Philippine Scouts. Initially he intended these films to be used by their families and by the Philippine Scouts Heritage Society to preserve stories of the men's experiences during the battles of Bataan and Corregidor, and as Prisoners of War during World War II.
As a young man whose uncle served as a Philippine Scout during the Battle of Bataan, Don Plata believed that the Filipino and American soldiers who fought together in those early months of the war deserved a measure of recognition which has long eluded them. He resolved to make a documentary movie that would tell the story of the early months of World War II, and specifically the heroic achievements of the Philippine Scouts.
Serving under General Douglas MacArthur, the Philippine Scouts were a special U.S. Army unit composed of Filipino soldiers and American officers. They, along with the Philippine Army, held the Imperial Japanese Army at bay for five months at the beginning of World War II. They were surrounded and starved out, then subjected to one of the worst atrocities of modern warfare--the Bataan Death March. In the film, ten Scout survivors tell the story of Bataan, the Death March, and life under Japanese occupation.
Over a five year period Don filmed scenes and battle reenactments in the Philippines, Hong Kong, California and Virginia, did aerial photography of battle sites, and perused hundreds of hours of historic footage at the U.S. National Archives. He enlisted the aid of Tony Award and Golden Globe-nominated actor Lou Diamond Phillips to do the narration, historian Chris Schaefer to write the script, and teams of Philippine Scout reenactors to re-create scenes which were not available in archival movie footage. In Forgotten Soldiers he has captured both the agonies the Scouts endured during their years in battle and in captivity, and their heroic achievements in this almost unknown segment of the United States Army.
Friday evening his efforts were recognized by the City of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Filipino Association of City Employees at a gala banquet and awards ceremony, where the presentations were made by Deputy Consul-General of the Philippines Daniel Espiritu. The annual event is sponsored by the Los Angeles Filipino Association of City Employees, a thirty year-old organization which this year celebrates 425 years of Filipino-American history, dating back to the Spanish expedition that brought the first Filipinos to California in 1587.
Plata's feature-length film, Forgotten Soldiers, has also been awarded the "Power of Film" award—the top prize at the Beloit International Film Festival, and military recognition from Col. Leo Puller, Garrison Commanding Officer at White Sands Missile Range, and Command Sergeant Major Kenneth Adair on behalf of the enlisted soldiers of the New Mexico National Guard.

I finally got to see "Forgotten Soldiers" yesterday during the Chicago Fil-Am Film Festival. I also brought my sister, a high school U.S. History teacher, along to see it.
We found it to be an epic reminder of the huge sacrifices the Philippine Scouts as well as the U.S. & Philippine forces made during that campaign. After the movie, my sister was shocked that even though these soldiers went through this horrific time, some still returned to fight in the Korean and even Vietnam Wars.
That's true dedication to your country.
The reenactments were awesome. Definitely recognized some members of this forum!
One thing my sister did ask about the reenactments: "So, who were the Scouts? The ones with the Sea Lion patches or the Carabaos?" Of course, "Kuya" was there to explain... And in short, I said, "Both."
Personally, I learned and saw a some things I didn't know before and it was great to see the interviews with the Scouts. To hear stories from them was invaluable.
Finally, big shout out to VeeVee for letting me know that "Forgotten Soldiers" was playing in my neighborhood! Thanks, Vic!
Sean! I'm glad you got to go and you brought along your sister too. Maybe knowing a bit more she'd pick up a copy and read Twilight Riders.
The part near the end where a group of aging Scouts were shown doing a Present Arms with garands always puts a lump in my throat. That was from the 2009 reunion.
"As I stand for a photo-op after taking an award, clips from Forgotten Soldiers were shown. As if standing behind and supporting me, the almost ghostly image of the soldiers of the 45th Infantry are standing in attention about the same angle that I was."
Greetings to All! I just want to share with you our new poster with the official awards won.


There are many advantages of building with Duratherm SIP products!
If your goal is to build a stronger, safer, more energy efficient home or building, that is also environmentally friendly & financially practical in much less time than normal building systems, than building with Duratherm SIPs is the solution.
In an effort to target safety, Our Duratherm structural insulated panels recipe begins with a polystyrene core, of the highest density used in the industry; furthermore, we have chosen to use the stronger outer sheeting of cement sheet (like Hardibacker) not OSB (oriented strand board). The cement sheeting offers several advantages to the end customer. To begin with, you avoid the cost of sheet rock or waterproofing to the panels as they arrive from the factory ready for painting or tiling etc. saving you money and time. In the long term, this product will lower your cost of maintenance and will provide a mold free environment with far greater ease than its wooden (OSB) cousin.
View photos or watch a short presentation on YouTube describing the DurathermSIPs building system.
The 4 inch wall panels have R-26 value.
Strength of the panels far exceeds normal specifications, resists a flex load of 5000 pounds per square foot.
No other building material on the market can effectively compete with these Duratherm panels for the extreme safety and comfort that is also affordable.
Floor and roof panels are 6" thick. Wall panels are 4″ thick. All panels have both facings of 3/8 in. thick hardboard fiber cement sheet panel. Panels come in lengths of 8′ or 10′ or 12′.
SIPs are easy to cut with standard hand tools which eliminates complications on the job site. We can however always cut the panels for you at our factory. We prepare the panels for easy assembly by placing identifying marks before shipping them to you for assembly.
The polystyrene insulation of the panels provide great sound proofing & thermal resistance qualities.
Duratherm SIPs are a clean product that produce no greenhouse gases.
This is good news for all building professionals and home buyers who want a stronger, safer home with the energy savings and comfort that SIP built homes provide.
We have simplified our system and increased our production time by using cutting edge adhesives and refined assembly methods.
The panel factory in Mexico makes each structural insulated panel as a sandwich. The outside surfaces are fiber cement sheet and the core is EPS (expanded polystyrene) used for insulation. This simple sandwich panel forms an amazingly strong insulated panel for building. You can then use any kind of finishing, stucco, tile or rock.
DurathermSIPs made from cement sheet product which render it mold and mildew free eliminating many allergy issues. For those who suffer from health problems SIPs are an ideal construction option.

Since the Airborne code and Flight-plans change frequently, it would be great if we could just simply upload new version with changes on the ground by connecting an USB cable to out airframes autopilot board. Well, the Bootloader makes this a simple reality.
The Bootloader is uploaded through the serial interface UART0 (Serial1) by connecting certain point on the board to ground during power-up, sometimes referred to as: holding low. On the board Tiny V1.x pin P0.14, Tiny V2.x this pin is called BOOT). Also GPS_RESET has to be tied low during the serial programming to keep the GPS receiver quiet that shares the serial port with the download.
It is strongly advised that you use a USB-serial converter with of the [FTDI brand] chip, as serial chips from the FTDI brand are by default working well in Linux. As a nice bonus, the Paparazzi ground station software is configured to look for modems on FTDI ports by default, the converter can likely serve as a modem interface after it's use in Bootloader uploading.
Make up a wiring harness similar to the following.
For TWOG make sure the GPS module is unplugged from the board. This is to prevent GPS serial data to disturb the uploading of the bootloader.
Once this wiring is ready you will be ready to upload the bootloader to the autopilot board from your PC.
To prepare the Autopilot board to accept uploads over its serial port you must have pin P0.14 LOW for at least 3ms while it is powering up or resetting. While it is still powered up it is ready to accept the Bootloader firmware code upload over the serial connection.
The next step while your board is all connected and powered up is to type the commands for uploading the bootloader firmware.
This will begin compiling your USB Bootloader and then attempt to transfer it to the Autopilot board. This will also assume you are using a USB -> Serial adapter for the connection. It uses /dev/ttyUSB0 by default. If your adapter is mapped to a different tty, you will need to modify the Makefile accordingly.
If for some reason you need to program your autopilot board USB Bootloader in MS Windows you have to download the LPC2000 Flash Utility V2.2.3 or later. You will then prepare the autopilot board and start it in ISP bootloader state as described previously. This small utility will ony help uploading the Bootloder firmware. You will need to copy your compiled bl.hex file from Linux to your Windows OS. This file will be then uploaded.
Which confirms that your device is powered up and working, and ready to accept new airborne code. In case you do not see this message, check your battery voltage and connections and make sure the cables are not broken.
In depth info about the bootloader can be found on the Bootloader reference page.

If you are diagnosed with kidney cancer, your doctor will discuss the best options to treat it. This depends on several factors, including the stage of the cancer and your general health. Your treatment for kidney cancer at MD Anderson will be customized to your particular needs. One or more of the following therapies may be recommended to treat the cancer or help relieve symptoms.
At MD Anderson, these surgeries sometimes can be minimally invasive (done with a laparoscope and robotic technology).
Candidates for partial nephrectomy are chosen based on favorable tumor location, co-existing health problems that may affect the treatment outcome, the condition of the kidneys and the patient's desire to save the kidney. Partial nephrectomy is best for kidney cancer tumors that are 4 centimeters or less in size. They can be done for larger tumors when necessary. Recurrence rates for stage 1 cancers removed by either radical or partial nephrectomy are about 5%.
Radiation therapy has a limited role in the treatment of kidney cancer. Kidney tumors are not very sensitive to radiation, but healthy kidneys are, so radiation as a frontline treatment is not advisable. In some cases, radiation may be used to help relieve pain and other symptoms when kidney cancer has spread to the bone, brain, or other parts of the body.
Kidney cancer is treated in our Genitourinary Center.

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a protein that stimulates the growth of immune cells and activates them to destroy tumor cells. High-dose IL-2 therapy is given by IV, and treatment requires a five-day hospital stay. Side effects include hypotension (low blood pressure), flu-like symptoms (fever, muscle aches, headache and nasal congestion), decreased urine production, nausea and diarrhea. IL-2 can cause a complete shrinkage of disease in 5% to 10% of patients with clear cell tumors. For that reason, it is still offered as an option to patients with appropriate tumor characteristics who are in excellent overall physical condition.

Q: Functions of different Data Types in Haskell I have the DataType
data Rose a = Leaf a | Node [Rose a]

an example would be:
fmfp = Node [Node [Leaf "F"], Node [], Node [Leaf "F", Leaf "P"], Leaf "M"]

which graphically looks like this:

I have learned how to (mechanically) write fold functions for different data types, and so I came up with this fold function:
foldRose :: (a -> r) -> ([r] -> r) -> Rose a -> r

foldRose fl fn Leaf a = fl a
foldRose fl fn Node a = fn (map (foldRose fl fn)) a

The thing is, I don't really understand WHAT it does.
For example, if I had
foldRose id concat fmfp

what would it do exactly? Would it be
foldRose id concat fmfp = concat [concat [id "F"], concat [],
                                  concat [id "F", id "P"], id "M"]

How do you wrap your mind around those kinds of functions? What do they intuitively mean?
Also, how do I write a mapRose function, what would I have to think befre starting, what would it be supposed to do?

A: Just follow the steps, slowly and confidently.
data Rose a = Leaf a | Node [Rose a]

fmfp = Node [ Node [Leaf "F"]
            , Node []
            , Node [Leaf "F", Leaf "P"]
            , Leaf "M" ]

foldRose ::
         (a -> r)               ->
               ([r] -> r)        ->
                     Rose a       ->  r
foldRose fLeaf fNode (Leaf a    )  =  fLeaf a
foldRose fLeaf fNode (Node trees)  =  fNode (map (foldRose fLeaf fNode) trees)

("r" is for recursive result).
Notice that you had few errors there, which I fixed in the above. Now,
  foldRose id concat fmfp
= let fLeaf = id
      fNode = concat
  in
  foldRose fLeaf fNode (Node [Node [Leaf "F"], Node [], Node [Leaf "F", Leaf "P"], Leaf "M"])
= fNode (map (foldRose fLeaf fNode)
                             [Node [Leaf "F"], Node [], Node [Leaf "F", Leaf "P"], Leaf "M"])
= fNode [
          foldRose fLeaf fNode $ Node [Leaf "F"]
        , foldRose fLeaf fNode $ Node []
        , foldRose fLeaf fNode $ Node [Leaf "F", Leaf "P"]
        , foldRose fLeaf fNode $ Leaf "M" ]
= fNode [
          fNode $ map (foldRose fLeaf fNode) [Leaf "F"]
        , fNode $ map (foldRose fLeaf fNode) []
        , fNode $ map (foldRose fLeaf fNode) [Leaf "F", Leaf "P"]
        , fLeaf $ "M" ]
= fNode [
          fNode [ foldRose fLeaf fNode $ Leaf "F"]
        , fNode []
        , fNode [ foldRose fLeaf fNode $ Leaf "F", foldRose fLeaf fNode $ Leaf "P"]
        , fLeaf "M" ]
= fNode [
          fNode [ fLeaf "F"]
        , fNode []
        , fNode [ fLeaf "F", fLeaf "P"]
        , fLeaf "M" ]

and that is simply

Q: SQL Query For Producing User Access List to Servers I've built a few tables and queries in SQL Server, but now I'm stuck as to how to make them work together in this latest task.
There's a table, we'll called it ServerAssessment. It has an inventory of servers, such as their Name and their Server Edition, which is Developer, Production, Unknown, etc. There's  much larger table called DatabaseDetails that contains thousands of records regarding IDs. Each row has a Server Name, a User Name, and other details not needed here.
The difficulty I'm having is that I need to produce a query that lists only Developer servers (WHERE Server Edition = 'Developer') but also then follows up and lists every distinct User Name (from DatabaseDetails) following it.
From a SQL logic standpoint, I am not sure how this is best completed.  It would look something like this, I would think? Or am I coming at this completely from the wrong angle?
ServerA001  User00001   User00002   User00003   User00111
ServerA015  User00001   User00002   User60005   User29031   User11111
ServerC037  User00001   User00009
ServerD066  User00001   User00002   User00003   User12312   User12333, User14141
ServerN123  User00001   User00003   User00009

Again, a user may  have access to many, many servers. Should instead of listing everything out by distinct server, instead transpose everything so it's by distinct/unique User, and then list out the servers? Would one be more ideal in a professional atmosphere?
All I have currently is something short and sweet, to join the tables and make sure only Developer is returned.
SELECT
    DISTINCT [Server Name]
    , [Server Edition]
FROM [ServerAssessment] AS tabDI
    FULL JOIN [DatabaseDetails] AS tabUD
        ON tabDI.[Server Name] = tabUD.[Server Name]
WHERE [SQL Server Edition] = 'Developer'
ORDER BY [Computer Name] ASC

PS: These were originally tables in Excel, but I imported this into SQL Server since I feel more comfortable with SQL as of my work the last few months.

A: First, using a full join will give you records from details that are not directly related to developer servers.  You want to use a left join instead to get all development servers but only details related to them.
Second you will have to look up how to do a dynamic sql pivot if you want to do this in SQL.  This will cause trouble when creating a report as the number of columns will change.  I suggest you use a reporting tool that can auto-pivot for you.  I did something similar using SSRS/

A: I would use ROW_NUMBER function togheter with PIVOT operator thus:
SELECT  *
FROM (
    SELECT /*DISTINCT*/ tabDI.[ServerName], [UserName],
        ColNum = ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY tabDI.[ServerName] ORDER BY [UserName])
    FROM (VALUES
        ('ServerA001', 'Developer'),
        ('ServerA002', 'Enterprise'),
        ('ServerA015', 'Developer')
    ) AS tabDI ([ServerName], [SQL Server Edition]) -- [ServerAssessment]
    LEFT JOIN (VALUES -- LEFT JOIN for servers without users
        ('ServerA001', 'User00001'),
        ('ServerA001', 'User00002'),
        ('ServerA001', 'User00003'),
        ('ServerA001', 'User00006'),
        ('ServerA002', 'User00001'),
        ('ServerA015', 'User00003'),
        ('ServerA015', 'User00004')
    ) AS tabUD ([ServerName], [UserName]) -- [DatabaseDetails]
    ON tabDI.[ServerName] = tabUD.[ServerName]
    WHERE [SQL Server Edition] = 'Developer'
) x
PIVOT ( MAX(x.UserName) FOR x.ColNum IN ([1], [2], [3], [4] /*, ...*/) ) y
ORDER BY y.[ServerName]

Note: This solution works for a limited number of users (4 in above case).
