The Care Trust – Door-to-Door Fundraising continues
Our door-to-door fundraising programme is now active following a number of Covid-19 lockdowns. The health and safety of our fundraisers, staff and everyone we interact with is our top priority and we continue to monitor and respond to Government and HSE advice.
Over the last number of days and weeks, we have seen a dramatic rise in the number of Covid-19 cases, driven in the main, by the Omicron variant, both nationally and globally. Unfortunately, and like many charities, The Care Trust has been impacted, and this may affect our door-to-door fundraising activities over the coming weeks.
Our monthly prize draw will be held at the end of each month in 2022 and a fabulous
Toyota Corolla Luna Saloon 1.8 Hybrid car
as well as cash prizes must be won in every draw.

It's been a long time coming… but I've been meaning to update you on the latest from Caitlin Evanson. She posted this picture recently, and I just decided that there was no time better than the present. Let's do this.
We all know her as Caitlin Evanson, but the fiery redhead fiddle player has embraced a new stage name as CaitlinBird. She's already scheduled to play a show at Lestat's West (San Diego, California) on February 13 where she is booked with her new stage name along with Caroline Corn and Kennady Tracy. You can read more about her at her very own Tumblr: caitlinbirdmusic.tumblr.com. You can also listen to what she's been up to musically on SoundCloud.
Correction: Sorry for the confusion! Seems Cait is only using CaitlinBird as a nickname but her official stage name will remain Caitlin Evanson.
Here's Cait and Pedro Talarico performing a cover of "Three Things" by Jason Mraz.

A Comparison Between Hold'Em and Chess
Games are a systematic form of artistic play, normally undertaken for fun or entertainment, and occasionally used as a teaching tool. Games are quite different from work, which generally are performed for profit, and from fine art, which frequently are an expression of philosophical or aesthetic elements. While games are structured and often follow a particular theme, they are often loosely constructed, with a variety of possible outcomes depending upon the players' actions. However, even when games are used in classrooms, it is still important that the players' characters are developed to some degree, both in-game and out.
One of the main characteristics of any board game is that it should have a certain number of possible outcomes, both to accommodate the players and to provide for a sense of challenge and excitement. In video games however, the number of outcomes can be vastly increased by the addition of randomly-generated elements, such as digital bombs and power ups. In a game like chess, for example, a possible outcome can be whichever group of squares gets the most power ups. This outcome is dependent on the strategy used by each player, which must be carefully considered before every move is made. For this reason, in many cases, the outcome of a game may well depend upon a player's ability to think carefully and rationally, even if the moves are random.
Card games also feature a large number of possible outcomes, depending on how the cards are laid out. The main article in this series focuses on the similarities and differences between a game of Texas Hold'em and that of poker, focusing on a particular variant that involves betting. Both games use a system of "receiving and betting", where players may stake money against each other, with the goal being to get the highest total bet from the table. Each player starts the game with a fixed amount of money, called the "buy in", which represents the starting hand, or "pot", in Texas Hold'em. Beyond the buy in, players may place any number of cards into the pot, up to a maximum specified by the rules.
One main similarity between these two card games is the way that you get your cards dealt. In Texas Hold'em, players get three cards face down and are dealt five cards each. Players may then make a single, legal bet, called the "lay" or "raise". Once the law has been made, the player who raised the most hands (ignoring their opponents' bets) gets to take his money and place it in the pot. Similarly, in poker, when you have been dealt five cards and are required to make a bet, you take out a single card from your deck, called your "action", and place it in the pot.
Like many other abstract games, Texas Hold'em and chess both feature certain types of "positives". In Hold'em, for example, a winning hand typically involves getting the highest total chips when you fold. Likewise, the main category of winning strategies in chess involves creating "positives" by having the most series of tournament games and grand slams. While the relative popularity of these two Abstract Board Games might be primarily attributable to their status as favorite games by people playing on the Internet, there is another underlying factor.
Both Texas Hold'em and chess feature sets of numbered, representing the various pieces on the board, called "tokens". The primary difference between these two main categories of board games use of tokens is that in Hold'em, players use more tokens to win the game; whereas in chess, the lesser number of tokens used actually determine how many player's moves are possible per turn. If the game involves fewer players, the less number of tokens a player uses, the higher the possible moves that player can make. To this end, the primary objective of Texas Hold'em and chess is to see who will make the most "tokens" and "actions" during their turn.

Bandura Ross & Ross: Children who observed aggressive role models were more likely to behave aggressively, compared to the control group. This supports SLT as it suggests that we learn violent behaviour through observation and imitation. However, arguably the bobo doll is designed to be hit - demand characteristics are not eliminated.
Williams: Studied the town of Notel in Canada. Measured aggression before and after TV was introduced and found increased levels of aggression after TV was introduced. This supports SLT as it suggests that exposure to role models increases violence. However, the Ps were all from Canada and so the sample is biased and the results cannot be generalised.

322. Beware of the false notion that spirits do not possess far more exquisite sensations than during the life of the body. I know the contrary by experience repeated thousands of times. Should any be unwilling to believe this, in consequence of their preconceived ideas concerning the nature of spirit, let them learn it by their own experience when they come into the other life, where it will compel them to believe. In the first place spirits have sight, for they live in the light, and good spirits, angelic spirits, and angels, in a light so great that the noonday light of this world can hardly be compared to it. The light in which they dwell, and by which they see, will of the Lord's Divine mercy be described hereafter. Spirits also have hearing, hearing so exquisite that the hearing of the body cannot be compared to it. For years they have spoken to me almost continually, but their speech also will of the Lord's Divine mercy be described hereafter. They have also the sense of smell, which also will of the Lord's Divine mercy be treated of hereafter. They have a most exquisite sense of touch, whence come the pains and torments endured in hell; for all sensations have relation to the touch, of which they are merely diversities and varieties. They have desires and affections to which those they had in the body cannot be compared, concerning which of the Lord's Divine mercy more will be said hereafter. Spirits think with much more clearness and distinctness than they had thought during their life in the body.
There are more things contained within a single idea of their thought than in a thousand of the ideas they had possessed in this world. They speak together with so much acuteness, subtlety, sagacity, and distinctness, that if a man could perceive anything of it, it would excite his astonishment. In short, they possess everything that men possess, but in a more perfect manner, except the flesh and bones and the attendant imperfections. They acknowledge and perceive that even while they lived in the body it was the spirit that sensated, and that although the faculty of sensation manifested itself in the body, still it was not of the body; and therefore that when the body is cast aside, the sensations are far more exquisite and perfect. Life consists in the exercise of sensation, for without it there is no life, and such as is the faculty of sensation, such is the life, a fact that anyone may observe.

July 8, 2020	/ Santanu Borthakur
Is Assam Govt. Trying to Dispossess People of their Land?
Way back in 1937, Axomiya Sangrakhyani Sabha [Society for the Protection of Assamese], a group within the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee raised the issue of land alienation of indigenous people of the state by submitting a representation to the then president of the All India Congress Committee, Jawaharlal Nehru. Through their representation they expressed their resentment to the British policy of granting lease of huge tracts of fertile land to European tea cultivators. By the same memorandum this motley, but influential group of leaders raised their apprehension about continuous British sponsored migration of Bengali settlers from East Bengal (present Bangladesh) which, according to them had resulted in alienation of land of indigenous tribal communities in Assam. Without delving much into the historical background, it can just be said that these apprehensions led to the creation of line system in Assam and finally culminated in the creation of tribal belts and blocks under Chapter X of the Assam Land and Revenue Regulations, which allows only the exempted classes of people to purchase land within tribal belts and blocks.
Another important legislative measure for protection of agricultural land of the locals from speculative traders was the Executive Instruction No. 6 issued under the Assam Land and Revenue Regulations, 1886. The Executive Instruction No. 6 issued on 2 August 1948 reads as follows: "Restriction on Transfer of Periodic Khiraj Leases: Periodic Khiraj leases issued after the 27th September 1919 contain a clause which forbids transfer, if the holder is a professional cultivator, to a person who is not a professional cultivator, without the previous sanction of the Deputy Commissioner." A note was added that reads: "After considering all circumstances, Government has consented to the enforcement of the clause in all districts where the Assam Land and Revenue Regulations is in force to prevent land passing on a large scale from cultivators to speculators and non-cultivators."
The purport behind such a measure can be gauged from the language of the instruction itself. Firstly, the instruction uses the phrase "land passing on a large scale" and secondly, it uses the term "speculators." We don't need to elaborate on who the speculative traders were, as at that point of time it was only the non-Assamese or the non-indigenous traders who had the financial capacity to indulge in speculative trading of land. Thus, clearly the purpose behind the said instruction is to protect the land belonging to the locals.
In spite of there being such provisions in the law, the transfer of land, more particularly of agricultural land, mostly from indigenous communities to others in violation of the law continued. Flouting the law continued with active connivance of local level revenue officials and politicians. Such transfer of land has reached alarming levels during the fifteen years of Congress government in Assam. Facing wide spread criticism and because of unrelenting protests by the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS), a mass peasant organisation led by Akhil Gogoi, the then Tarun Gogoi led Congress government of Assam brought the Assam Agricultural Land (Regulation of Reclassification and Transfer for Non-Agriculture Purpose) Act, 2015. The said Act, while prohibiting transfer of agricultural land for non-agricultural purpose laid down the circumstances under which such transfer can be effected. One of the important circumstances laid down by the law is that such land should not be used for agricultural purposes at least for ten years.
Now, the present regime led by the BJP is seeking to amend this piece of legislation by bringing an ordinance, and thereby ensuring automatic reclassification of agricultural land once the purchaser makes a self-declaration to the effect that the land is purchased for establishing an industry. The Cabinet decision on the proposed ordinance was disclosed by the State Industry Minister, Chandra Mohan Patowary through a tweet that reads as follows: "In a historic and far reaching decision to ease out the process of setting up industries in Assam, state cabinet has approved an ordinance today. Now any one will be able to set up industries in Assam just by submitting one self-declaration. No permission, clearance or licence will be required for three years. Land will also be deemed converted for industrial purpose. Such bold and advantageous change is expected to accelerate the industrialisation process in Assam." This tweet of the Minister created furore in the state. One can have a fair idea about the proposed ordinance even by going through the tweet itself and can at once conclude that the proposed ordinance is an ominous sign for the state and its people. But how?
The word 'industry' is a generic term. A car producing unit is an industry and under pollution control statutes, a 'rice mill' or a 'stone crusher unit' is also an industry. Now, any one by declaring that they are going to set up a rice mill or stone crusher unit will be able to purchase agricultural land and then got it reclassified. Once this is done, after one or two years they can declare the business bankrupt and use the land for speculative profit. Once this ordinance is passed this will be the norm. Moreover, huge tracts of agricultural land by the side of the National Highways in Assam had already got transferred to non-Assamese or non-indigenous traders. The verification of revenue records will make it crystal clear. These traders have been waiting for an opportunity to regularise their irregularity and the proposed ordinance will be giving them a legal route to do this. The mainstream Assamese speaking and the tribal people will be the worst sufferers of this decision. The migrant population of the state also known as the na-asomiya [new Assamese] or pamuas have their life embedded in agricultural economy and they are not going to sale their land to anyone. It can be taken away from them only through coercive measures. But so far as the rest of the population, particularly the tribal people and the Assamese speaking communities are concerned, they are still being fascinated by "the cash money" and will definitely transfer their land even for a paltry amount of cash. We have been witness to such transfers. I leave it to experts to analyse this fascination for cash, but suffice to say that ultimately because of this decision the precious piece of land which binds us to the root is going to slip away from us.
Secondly, the issue of land protection to the Assamese and indigenous communities of the state is part of the report of the Expert Committee constituted for implementation of Clause 6 of the Assam Accord. The Committee has already submitted its report but no one has any idea about its fate till date. The Home Minister of the country made public declaration about implementing the recommendations of the Committee without any change. Although people do not know whether the Home Minister could spare some time to go through the recommendations of the Committee, yet in absence of any declaration rejecting the recommendations, it has to be presumed that it is under consideration of the Central Government. Why, then so much hurry on part of the state government to promulgate this ordinance? Is it to pre-empt the recommendations of the Committee at the behest of certain quarters with vested interests?
The third important point relates to the right of workers of industry proposed to be set up. As per the tweet of the Minister for setting up industry, no licence, permission etc. will be required. This means that these industries will be allowed to operate without any compliance of the labour laws. During the time of pandemic we have already seen attempts by various state governments to tinker with the labour laws and the proposed ordinance is undoubtedly a part of the same agenda. In their jest for attracting industries the government is going to make the labour laws and the labourers the scapegoat. It is part of the war unleashed by the ruling elite on labour. The manner in which the government is proposing to frame the ordinance will surely lead to primitive accumulation resulting in benefits for a select few elites and doom for many.
Fourthly, why this route of an ordinance? And why this hurry? This is a decision which is going to have impact on the state's future and therefore the government cannot be the only stakeholder. Before taking such a major policy decision, it is incumbent upon the government to go for public debate and discussion. Leave aside the common public, the present regime even avoided discussion in the Assembly, although this is purely a legislative measure. Article 213 of the Constitution of India relates to power of the Governor to promulgate an ordinance, and it says that before promulgation of an ordinance there must be satisfaction about existence of circumstances which render it necessary to take immediate action. Thus it is clear that the ordinance route can be taken only in cases of emergency and not otherwise. But the present regime in Assam taking cue from their leaders in Delhi has adopted this ordinance route just to thwart a public discussion on the issue. This is nothing but subterfuge of constitutional mechanism.
In Assam, indigenous communities are living under constant threat of eviction. Even after living for generations they are still not getting settlement for their land. Landless farmers are demanding land. But this government which stormed to power by promising to protect indigenous interests are now becoming the major threat to the indigenous people. From bringing in the CAA to the Ordinance for Automatic Reclassification of Land, we are witnessing a series of decisions by the present regime which will ultimately destroy our collective existence.

NEW YORK >> General Electric, a household name for more than a century in part for making households easier to run, is leaving the home.
The company is selling the division that invented the toaster in 1905 and now sells refrigerators, stoves and laundry machines. GE has increasingly focused on building industrial machines such as aircraft engines, locomotives, gas-fired turbines and medical imaging equipment — much bigger and more complex than washers, and more profitable.
"They are no longer going to be a consumer company," says Andrew Inkpen, a professor at the Thunderbird School of Global Management who has written extensively about GE.
GE, based in Fairfield, Connecticut, Monday announced the sale of its appliance division to the Swedish appliance maker Electrolux for $3.3 billion. Electrolux will still sell appliances under the GE brand in attempt to leverage the company's long history.
GE has sold devices to people for its entire 122-year history, starting with the light bulb, which was invented by company founder Thomas Edison. The lighting division will stay, but it's just a tiny part of GE. Now GE will sell its products almost exclusively to other companies.
The company is hoping to return to favor among investors with higher, more consistent and more predictable profits.
GE is the only remaining member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, first calculated in 1896, and as recently as 2004 it was the biggest corporation in the world by market value. But GE has frustrated shareholders by underperforming both the Dow and broader stock indexes for much of the last decade.
The company has been able to survive by shuffling its portfolio to shed unprofitable divisions or jump into a new, growing sector. And it has never shied away from abandoning historic businesses, like the plastics unit it started in 1912 and sold in 2007.
The latest version of GE will make mostly big, complex equipment, some of which it has been making for more than a century, like power generators, and some that is new to GE, like oil and gas drilling equipment.
In July the company spun off its consumer credit card business into a new company, Synchrony Financial. In recent years it has sold NBC Universal and its insurance operations and it is gradually shrinking its sprawling financial company, called GE Capital.
In June GE agreed to buy the energy and power generation operations of the French engineering company Alstom for $17 billion. And over the last several years it has been acquiring companies to help it become a bigger player in oil and gas drilling equipment.
Christopher Glynn, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co., says the company now has the potential to show the strong results it was once famous for, though it still may take some time.
"It's still GE, it's still huge," says Glynn, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. "But this is a viable reset."


The CMS has denied Ohio's request to develop into the primary state to waive the person mandate for health insurance coverage. To start with lets please perceive that this insurance plan is greatest for covering your youngsters and that also from when they're born or at a younger age.

With any surgery, you will experience some discomfort or pain. You have also likely read and heard a great deal about our current crisis with opioid (narcotic) use and the recent law passed in state of Oklahoma that limits the number of opioid pills a physician can prescribe to manage acute post-operative pain.
What you should know is that opioids are only one class of medication used to manage pain. Other classes of medication that can manage pain as well or even better than opioids include anti-inflammatories, regular Tylenol, neuro-modulators, and long-acting local anesthetics. Traditionally, opioids have been the primary method for managing pain because of their low cost despite their significant adverse side effects, which can include nausea, vomiting, light-headedness, constipation, confusion, drowsiness, and addiction.
At Bajaj Plastic Surgery, we believe in a multi-modal approach to acute pain management after surgery. This means different types of pain medications may be prescribed for you. Despite these medications, you may still experience some discomfort, which is completely normal. Pain medication should decrease your discomfort so that you can do the things necessary to allow you to recover from your surgery — walking, taking deep breaths, and maintaining a healthy diet. The goal of pain medication is to help you return to your regular activities as soon as possible.
The other good thing about surgery is that the pain and discomfort you may experience is temporary – the first three to five days should be the worst and after that you should require less pain medication and should start to feel better. If you still have a significant amount of pain and require narcotic pain medication after this period of time, you should see your physician because there may be a more serious problem that needs to be addressed.
What is a multi-modal approach?
The concept of multi-modal or "balanced" anesthesia requires the use of different types of medications that act together to help provide you with the best pain relief. Before the surgery even starts, you may be prescribed a combination of pain medications, including Tylenol, Celebrex, and Gabapentin. Tylenol is effective for pain relief when given in sufficient dosage; Celebrex is an anti-inflammatory medication that does not increase the risk of bleeding; and Gabapentin helps the nerve response to pain. By taking these medications prior to surgery, the initial pain response is blunted.
After the start of the procedure, the anesthesiologist will begin administering pain medication through your IV to inhibit the pain response. During surgery, Dr. Anureet Bajaj will inject Marcaine, a long-acting local anesthetic, or Exparel (another long-acting anesthetic) at the surgical site(s) to help provide some pain relief for the first day following surgery. Exparel has the potential of keeping your incisions numb for up to 72 hours.
After surgery, you will receive several prescriptions for pain medications, including a narcotic (usually Demerol or Tramadol), possibly an anti-inflammatory (Celebrex or Ibuprofen), and possibly a medication for nausea (Phenergan). These medications should be taken as prescribed.
Dr. Bajaj recommends you take the Celebrex and Gabapentin (if prescribed) twice daily until your prescription runs out or you are comfortable and no longer need them. Frequently patients will benefit from taking Tylenol every six hours for the first three days after surgery as well. With all of these different types of pain medications, most patients find that they will only require the narcotic for breakthrough pain, if at all.
We also would like to remind all patients that as with all prescriptions, keep them in a safe place, do not share your prescriptions, and do not take more than the amount prescribed.
Having extra, unused medications at home can also be a hazard. If you have leftover narcotic pain medication that you do not use, please refer to this site for disposal.

The GT is an elegantly aggressive four-door, rear-drive coupé. The new Kia GT sports car will launch in 2020, this was recently confirmed by the head of Kia UK, Paul Philpott. The new car will be a model in its own right rather than being based on another Kia and will be "affordable", according to Philpott. He added that it will need to be sold worldwide to achieve viable production numbers, saying: "a sports car just for Europe doesn't have the critical mass to justify the level of investment required."


For decades, two companies worked side by side to build the very foundation of personal computing. Microsoft built the operating system—Windows—and Intel built the chips. But Wintel is no more. Sure, Windows will continue to run on Intel chips. But Wintel as a mighty alliance has died. It's been fading for years, and this week Microsoft snuffed out the last of it.
On Wednesday, from a conference stage in Silicon Valley, Microsoft told the world it plans on using ARM chips in the servers that underpin Windows Azure, the sweeping collection of cloud computing services that represents the company's future. It was the most tactical of announcements, a carefully considered collection of words meant to shift computing's balance of power. Microsoft has yet to actually put ARM chips in the data centers that run Azure. It merely pledged that it would.
"All this is before we've actually seen a chip," says Patrick Moorhead, the president and principal analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy, a firm that closely follows the chip business. In other words, this announcement isn't about technology—at least not yet. It's little more than a push against Intel's market power. Like Google and Amazon and others, it seems, Microsoft wants an added bargaining chip when buying computer chips from the biggest computer chip maker on Earth. The question: will it get what it wants?
With online empires like Google and Amazon running on open source Linux and the citizens of the world spending so much of their time on iPhones and Android, the Windows operating system is no longer dominant. At the same time, Intel's influence has diminished: Most of those mobile devices use ARM chips from other companies. But in one market, Intel still rules. Google, Amazon, and most other online services still run on Intel chips. In fact, these chips drive 99 percent of the world's computer servers. But Google and Amazon don't quite like that reality. Now it's clear that Microsoft doesn't either.
The problem isn't so much technology as economics. If you run a large online service, Intel pretty much offers the only option for decent server chips. No real market competition exists to keep prices down. At the same time, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft build their own servers and negotiate their own chip prices in the process. Their online empires are so big, spanning hundreds of thousands of machines across the globe, they create chip markets unto themselves. By publicly pledging to use servers equipped with ARM processors from Qualcomm and Cavium, Microsoft is apparently looking for leverage when negotiating chip prices with Intel. "That sounds plausible to me," says Intel vice president Jason Waxman.
Consider this: In 2012, Intel vice president Diane Bryant told WIRED that Google bought more server chips from Intel than all but four other companies. And the other four actually sell servers. Google does not. It only builds servers for itself. As such, internet giants like Google represent the future of Intel's server business—and indeed the entire server business. Sure, Intel will continue to sell chips to other companies. But increasingly, other companies run their operations on the cloud servers of Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.
In theory, ARM server chips could also help Microsoft save money on electricity. Based on the same chip designs used in your smartphone, these processors use relatively little power. Across a worldwide network of data centers, those savings that can make a big difference. But that difference doesn't mean much now, since viable ARM server chips don't really exist. Qualcomm and Cavium are "sampling" their chips, which means they've built test versions. But both tell WIRED they won't have finished chips until the end of the year.
As Microsoft makes its chess move, you can't overlook the reality of that the silicon isn't finished. Google made a similar move about 18 months ago, publicly announcing that it would work to build servers around IBM's OpenPower chip, another alternative to Intel. This move too was a way to gain leverage against Intel, after online giants publicly professed their interest in alternative server chips for years. But Intel still controls 99 percent of the market. "We've seen these kinds of announcements before," says Intel's Waxman. "The question is: How ready is the technology?"
Google and Microsoft may want added competition in the chip market, but that doesn't happen without many years of work. Intel controls 99 percent of the market because it has a mature technology that can run all the server software companies like Google and Microsoft require. Even if chipmakers like Qualcomm and Cavium build viable server chips, the market won't really enjoy real competition until a broader community of companies builds the foundational software that allows these chips to operate in the real world.
For Microsoft, this poses a particular problem. Unlike the rest of the big players, which use Linux, Microsoft still runs Windows in its data centers. While other companies have long worked to get Linux running on ARM server chips, Microsoft's switch would represent the first effort with Windows. It can't really benefit from what others have done—a common problem for Microsoft in world that revolves around open source software. Yes, Microsoft vice president Jason Zander tells WIRED that the company is already years into this project, that it wouldn't be revealing the effort if it weren't on solid ground. But at the very least, it's a year until anyone will know how solid.
The glory days of Wintel have passed. Microsoft wants to move on. But that may take a while.

A feeling of anxiety in the face of imminent danger focuses the mind into reacting appropriately. The anxiety normally recedes soon after the event, but in some people, this emotional response can be exaggerated and become chronic. The causes of anxiety often involve a range of psychological, genetic, and environmental factors.
As well as a constant sense of fear and worry, many anxiety sufferers can experience anxiety episodes, or attacks. This is when the person feels an unforeseen onset of extreme panic, and symptoms can often mimic a heart attack or breathing problems, which can be frightening. Symptoms include an irregular heartbeat, chest pains, and the need to escape. Some herbal remedies can help relieve anxiety, and thus the frequency and intensity of attacks; a few are listed below.
This herbal remedy is often used for the treatment of low mood and provides relief from the side effects associated with insomnia. It can improve mood and sleep quality.
This plant is a popular medicinal herb and contains the unique phytocompounds valerenic acid and valeranon, which have a calming effect. This means that this herb is particularly effective in treating stress and anxiety. It's often used as a sedative to help sleep occur naturally, and can reduce anxiety. However, valerian can't be taken for more than a few weeks at a time, or at the same time as any prescription sedatives.
Some studies have shown that passionflower works as well as some prescription medications in relieving anxiety. However, the research is sparse, although some people claim it helps them. As with valerian, this herbal supplement must not be taken with any sedatives.
The aromas of lemon balm, bergamot, and jasmine are calming, and therefore can help the body relieve stress and anxiety. They can be used in a bath or dabbed on a cotton ball to be gently breathed in.
All herbal remedies must be used with care and after talking to a doctor. As with any food, some people can react badly to certain herbs, so if you notice any problems occurring as a result of herbal medication, stop immediately. That being said, many herbal supplements are safe for most people, and, when used appropriately and carefully, are a way of relieving anxiety without the risks and side effects that commonly come with conventional anxiety medications.

Rats and mice can spread disease, contaminate food, and damage buildings by gnawing and burrowing. Rodents seek out seeds and other food stored in homes and businesses, and have been known to transmit diseases as serious as tuberculosis. They can also pose a threat to pets.
If you spot a living or dead rodent, find droppings, or see destruction to property or food supplies, it's time to take action. Rodents have been known to enter structures through gaps around utility lines, and conceal themselves behind appliances. If a rodent can fit its nose through a crack in your property then they are coming in. Rats and Mice will squeeze themselves through very tiny cracks and crevices in order to get inside. Most commonly they will enter a building through cracks in the foundation or through unsealed plumbing access.
Once a rodent has gained access to your home through the foundation they will gain access to your plumbing between the walls. Using these pipes they will have full access to your home or apartment. From there they will use unsealed piping around your kitchen and bathroom fixtures to emerge looking for food. Any food left in pantries, or on counters runs the risk of being eaten or contaminated.
It's essential to address rodent problems quickly and effectively, because many species reproduce rapidly. In the case of rats, a female can produce more than 80 offspring per year. Female mice can produce more than 190 offspring per year.
We begin by first inspecting your home to locate the cracks the rodents have used to gain access to your home or apartment complex. From there we employ a wire mesh to block the entrances and use foam in order to hold the mesh in place. While rodents will chew through the foam, they will not chew through the wire mesh. Rodents hate steel, and this closes their access point. Once their access is closed our next step is to go around and seal all of your plumbing access. This includes all of the fixtures in your kitchen, bathrooms, and your radiator. All can have basement or internal access that the rodents use to move around unhindered. This process is very detail oriented and you will want a skilled exterminator with years of experience. It is important to locate and secure every single potential entrance point to your home.
Once the access points are sealed we will employ baited traps. The exact type of bait will depend on a variety of factors. We take great care to use family, and pet safe bait in homes that have children or pets. The safety of you and your family is our paramount concern as we work to rid your home of these disease spreading animals. Therefore we employ a variety of different baits based on the task at hand. For instance we can employ much stronger baits in an industrial warehouse than we can in your family kitchen. Both will get the job done, as once the home is sealed the bait will draw the rodents out.
After baiting all that is left is to wait. During this time if you see a rodent give us a call and we will be happy to come out and perform the final rodent removal for you. This is a service we are happy to provide if you are not comfortable disposing of the body yourself. We are always just a phone call away, and pride ourselves on taking care of the job from beginning to end.
All Platinum Pest Control™ uses the most advanced methods to ensure your business or residential property is rodent-free. Contact All Platinum Pest Control today at (718) 710-9982 or bugs@allplatinumpestcontrol.com to learn more.


Over the weekend I got inspired by this beautiful bird walking in the grass. Unfortunately, I do not know the kind of bird. The colors were beautiful and so different than the traditional brown birds in the neighborhood. I went home and thought I would create 3 different nail designs using colors similar to the bird. Enjoy!
We will be using the following items for all 3 nail looks.
Step 1: File all nails to desired shape.
Step 2. Add base coat. I am using my favorite OPI Base Coat.
Step 3. Paint two coats of Mango Madness polish on nail.
Step 4. Use Marina to paint slanted line across the nail.
Step 5. Using a tooth pick or dotting tool, paint white dots along the slanted line.
Step 6. Use white nail art paint a zig zag pattern on top of slanted line.
Step 7. Use a dotting tool to apply yellow dots beside the white dots.
Step 6. Finish with Wet n Wild top coat.
Step 1. Apply guide strips.
Step 2. Paint top and bottom portion of nail.
Step 5. Using a tooth pick or dotting tool apply dots in the clear space.
Step 6. Use the white nail art polish to apply zig zags on top of the yellow polish.
Step 7. Using a tooth pick or dotting tool apply blue dots between each white dot.
Step 8. Apply top coat to seal all polishes.
Step 1. Paint polish in half moon design.
Step 2. Using a dotting tool or tooth pick, paint dots around the half moon.
Step 4. Polish the rest of your nails.
I hope you enjoyed the 3 nail art designs. I think these are perfect for Spring and Summer.

A Traveler's Guide to China Southern Airlines
Asia China
All China
By Rory Boland
funky-data / Getty Images
China Southern Airlines probably isn't a household name outside of China – certainly not outside Asia. Yet this is an airline with ambition – it's grown substantially - becoming China's biggest airline and one of the top ten biggest in the world.
The airline offers the most comprehensive route network in China, one of the most comprehensive route networks in Asia and an increasing number of regional routes – that includes Europe, the Middle East and North America – mostly from its hubs in Guangzhou (an hour from Hong Kong) and Beijing.
The airline offers cheap tickets on many routes, often substantially cheaper than its competitors.
Where Does the Airline Fly?
Based in Guangzhou, Southern China Airlines is a powerhouse in the Chinese aviation industry and has the country's most developed network of routes. The airline's hubs are Guangzhou Airport and Beijing Airport, with additional mini hubs in Dalian, Shenyang, Urumqi, Zhengzhou, Changchun, and Shenzhen. From these locations, the airline connects to dozens of Chinese destinations, including smaller towns.
Regional destinations include almost all Asian capitals, including Singapore, Hanoi, Bangkok, and Tokyo, as well as dozens of smaller cities. China Southern Airlines has one of the most developed route networks in Asia, although most routing is through Guangzhou and Beijing.
In recent years, Southern China Airlines has aggressively expanded their international operation and become China's largest airline. The airline flies to Paris, Amsterdam and Los Angeles as well as a host of Middle Eastern and North Asian destinations, such as Tehran, Tblisi, and Khatmandhu.
Booking and Website
Frankly, the website is a mess and doesn't inspire much confidence in the booking procedure. For those who do manage to navigate through the booking maze, the reward is cheap tickets and we haven't heard any reports of hiccups with tickets once the purchase has been completed. The English language website hasn't been online long and the translations are at best clumsy at worst nonsensical.
If the website puts you off, almost all travel agents in China sell China Southern Airlines tickets as do an increasing number of international travel agents. You can also buy China Southern tickets through travel booking portal Zuji.com, often at a substantial discount and with the security of booking through an established agent.
Aircraft, Inflight Entertainment, and Seats
There's a real mixed bag of planes flying the Southern China Airlines flag, with an ageing fleet being replaced – slowly – by newer planes. By and large, planes are older Boeing and Airbus planes and seating can be squeezed in economy. In-flight entertainment is also hit and miss with a number of long haul flights having no in-flight entertainment in-seat and others having older systems with very limited options.
Apart from that, while other airlines squeeze travelers for extra costs, China Southern Airlines offers the economy traveler free checked in baggage and decent sized if uninspired in-flight meals. Chinese and sometimes slightly wacky Western options are a standard on long-haul flights – spaghetti in chicken sauce anyone?
You'll get more room – a woolen blanket and a bottle of water – in Premium Economy. Further classes include business and luxury first class and offer more rewards. These include standards like laptop charging points and ergonomically designed tilt seats as well as more unique touches like an onboard teahouse – on select flights. In all honesty, facilities for all of these classes are a little disappointing when compared to competitors, although you will likely be paying substantially less.
English Language Speaking Staff
This, like many things in China, very much depends on where you are flying to and from. Fly internationally or on major domestic routes, such as Guangzhou to Beijing and you should find staff with decent to good English language skills. While the vast majority of flight attendants are Chinese and Mandarin is their first language, the airline's international expansion has seen it take on more international staff; including French, Korean and Australian flight attendants.
Off the international routes and on smaller regional or domestic routes, English service will be seriously limited - although even here the airline is striving to have at least one English-speaking flight attendant – they aren't there yet.
Safety Record
Many people unfamiliar with Chinese airlines are nervous about traveling with China Southern Airlines. While China has had some issues with airline safety in the past, standards have been raised substantially and safety meets international standards.
China Southern Airlines has been involved in a handful of accidents, the last major incident being a crash in 1997, but its safety record is comparable with other international airlines. There have been complaints about the training and English language ability of pilots, including misunderstanding instructions from air traffic control and ground crew. China Southern Airlines has partnered with US partners to raise the quality of staff training and aircraft maintenance.
China Southern Airlines has one of the most developed route networks in the world and their coverage of China and Asia, as well as less traveled destinations in the Middle East and North Asia, is superb. Their growing European and North American flight network also offers a chance to reach China for cheap. Almost all Southern China Airline flights are routed through Guangzhou and Beijing and there are very few point to point flight but if you can stand the transfer, this can be a good way to get a cheap flight to your destination in Asia.
Service and amenities are not up to the standards of other international flag carriers, particularly on seating and in-flight entertainment, which can be a problem on long haul flights. Things are improving and if you are more concerned about getting to your destination cheaply, choose China Southern Airlines.

Q: (Higher) extensions of mixed Hodge structures Mixed Hodge structure is introduced by Deligne and it's very useful for studying complex algebraic varieties. We know $\text{MHS}$, the category of mixed Hodge structures is an abelian category. Where can I find a good reference for the computation of the (higher) extension groups inside MHS (and it's variations)? Carlson's paper  "Extensions of mixed Hodge structures" is helpful, but I hope a more general reference.
For instance, let $\text{MHS}^+_{\mathbb R}$ denote the category of mixed Hodge structures equipped with an involution $\phi_{\infty}$ preserving the weight filtration and such that $\phi_{\infty} \otimes c$ preserves the Hodge filtration (here $c$ means complex conjugation). Is there no $\operatorname{Ext}^{2}$ in this category?

A: Beilinson, Notes on absolute Hodge cohomology is another reference.
To answer your last question,  the cohomological dimension of the category of mixed Hodge structures is $1$, i.e. there is no $Ext^i$ for $i>1$. See 1.10 of Beilinson's paper.

Q: CakePHP bindTranslation() returns only records for current locale I want to retrieve all records from the original table (category) with their translations from translation table (category_i18ns). I want all the records from the table category, regardless of my current locale settings.
Currently when I use bindTranslation(), it returns the all the records from the translation table, but only for the records (from table categories) that match the current locale.
Here is an example:
Records in table category_i18ns

As you can see, records with id 17 and 18 from table category_18ns and 4 from table categories are not included in the result ($categories). I want that this also are included, regardless of the current locale.

A: For now I have a quick and dirty solution for my case. I'm retrieving data by my own sql statement. But I now this is not a save solution. So if somebody has a better (more secure) solution, I would like to know that.
My current quick and dirty solution:
Category.php (model)
/**
 * Returns all categories with all translated fields, independent of locale setting.
 */
public function getAllTranslations() {

    $result = null;
    $queryResults = $this->query('SELECT categories.*, category_i18ns.* FROM categories INNER JOIN category_i18ns ON category_i18ns.foreign_key = categories.id;');

    foreach($queryResults as $queryResult) {

        $locale = $queryResult['category_i18ns']['locale'];
        $field = $queryResult['category_i18ns']['field'];
        $content = $queryResult['category_i18ns']['content'];
        $categoryId = $queryResult['categories']['id'];

        if(!isset($result[$categoryId])) {
            $result[$categoryId] = $queryResult['categories'];
            $result[$categoryId][$field][$locale] = $content;
        } else {
            $result[$categoryId][$field][$locale] = $content;
        }

    }

    return $result;

}

Inupiaq woman criticizes use of her image in Dunleavy ad campaign deletes
September 9, 2019 | admin | tefbbqlc
Then-Sen. Mike Dunleavy, R-Wasilla, during a Senate Finance Committee meeting in April 2017. (Photo by Skip Gray/360 North)A Fairbanks woman objected to video of her being included in a campaign advertisement without her consent. Republican candidate for governor Mike Dunleavy's campaign removed the footage soon after it became aware of her concern.Listen nowThe woman said the ad took advantage of her Inupiaq ethnicity.Marjorie Tahbone said she became aware of the ad on social media when friends forwarded it to her.In the original version of the ad, there are several seconds of her walking in the woods, and of her dancing as part of a group."It's just my face and it's obviously my face," Tahbone said. "And I'm obviously a brown person and I'm obviously Native in there. And so, the issue of them using me as an image to portray the support of the Native community, I wasn't comfortable with."Tahbone criticized the ad in a Facebook post, saying that she doesn't support Dunleavy. The campaign took down the ad on Sunday, shortly after it became aware of the post. The ad's been reposted, without the footage of Tahbone.Tahbone works to provide Inuit tattoos to women. She lives in Fairbanks and is originally from Nome. She said Dunleavy's campaign may have had the right to use the footage, but should have asked her before doing it."They made a huge mistake, by just using me, using my face without my permission," Tahbone said.Dunleavy campaign manager Brett Huber said the use of footage from an AJ+ news video was typical for campaign ads. AJ+ is part of the Al Jazeera Media Network."We saw the comments posted on Facebook, so we took swift action to remove the image," Dunleavy said. "I sent a message to Marjorie explaining to her that while the footage was obtained and used legally, we didn't want anybody included in an ad that they didn't support."Huber said Dunleavy wouldn't seek to use an image of an Alaska Native woman to convey support from Natives. He noted that Dunleavy's wife Rose is an Alaska Native."One of the things that I like the most about our candidate is he's colorblind and he's gender-blind," Huber said. "Mike's been married to an Alaska Native woman for 31 years. He would never advantage specifically an Alaska Native, a Caucasian or any other race. People are people, so certainly that was never our intent, nor would it be something that Mike would pursue."AJ+ senior producer Maggie Beidelman said the company wouldn't have granted permission to use the news video if Dunleavy's campaign had asked. Video makers might use brief clips for illustration and other purposes, arguing they can under the copyright doctrine of fair use.Dunleavy resigned from his Wasilla-area state Senate seat in January to focus on his campaign. He previously served as a teacher and school superintendent in Kotzebue.Dunleavy faces six opponents in the Aug. 21 primary: former Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell; Darin Colbry, a janitor and landscaping worker; Thomas Gordon, a heavy equipment mechanic; Gerald Heikes, who has owned a drywall company; Merica Hlatcu, an engineer; and Michael Sheldon, a handyman.

I decided that it would be best to tweak a project I've been stuck with for a while now.
Would love feedback... I have withheld it from my client for a long time because I am not truly happy with it and I'm not quite sure what to do next.... I know it's the details but have hit a bit of a wall.
Would welcome any feedback y'all might have.

Dějiny Prahy do roku 1348 představují období od vzniku pražského podhradí po rozvoj středověkého souměstí před jeho zásadním rozšířením Karlem IV.

Rozvoj osídlení se datuje od konce 9. století, kdy kníže Bořivoj I. přenesl své sídlo a založil zde hradiště, pozdější Pražský hrad. Ve 13. století, kdy byl Hrad již hlavní sídlo českého království, bylo osídlení soustředěno do dvou opevněných královských měst, Starého Města a Malé Strany, ke kterým se později přidalo poddanské městečko Hradčany. Spolu s křesťanstvím se ze západu šířil vliv románského stavebního slohu (domy, Juditin most) a od 13. století slohu gotického (Anežský klášter, dům U Kamenného zvonu).

Nejstarší osídlení
Nejstarší slovanské osídlení oblastí dnešní Prahy se soustřeďovalo v oblasti dnešního Veleslavína někdy kolem 6. století, během dalších dvou set let vznikla další hradiště v současné západní polovině města. Po osídlení oblasti dnešního Pražského hradu však hradiště rychle ztratila svůj význam.

Hradiště
Již v roce 885 na Pražském hradě vznikl první kostel, zasvěcen byl Panně Marii. Jednalo se o jeden z nejstarších kostelů v Čechách vůbec; jen dva roky před ním nechal Bořivoj postavit na Levém Hradci kostel sv. Klimenta.

Roku 895 následovalo po Svatoplukově smrti odtržení od Velké Moravy, byla uzavřena vazalská dohoda Spytihněva I. s východofranským králem Arnulfem Korutanským na ochranu před Uhry. Následovalo otevření karolinské kultuře a zavedení latinské liturgie. Vliv Byzantské říše od této doby začal rychle upadat.

Z 10. století je již doložena obchodnická osada v oblasti dnešní Malé Strany, roku 926 je vybudována rotunda sv. Víta na Pražském hradě, kam jsou následně o dalších 12 let později uloženy ostatky vévody sv. Václava. V druhé polovině téhož století je založen i Vyšehrad. Roste vliv křesťanství; od roku 973 sídlí v Praze i biskupství pražské (Pragensis), spadající pod mohučské arcibiskupství, prvním biskupem saský mnich Dětmar. Začínají se budovat první kláštery (břevnovský klášter, jiřský klášter). V kotlině pod hradem se postupně začínají osady rozrůstat a spojovat v jedno velké město. Z roku 965 se dochovalo první písemné svědectví arabsko-židovského kupce Ibráhíma ibn Jákúba o Praze (jako Fragha/Bragha/al Phraga či Baraga/Paraga) jako o bohatém obchodním městě (středisku obchodu s otroky) z kamene a vápna.

Od roku 995 se Praha stala jediným sídlem českého knížectví, poté co byli vyvražděni Slavníkovci, jako poslední z rodů, vládnoucích českému území. Veškerou moc tak získal rod Přemyslovců. Od začátku 11. století existovala již latinská škola, v druhé polovině téhož století již byly Čechy královstvím, se sídlem právě na Pražském hradě. Přesto svůj královský titul získal panovník Čech definitivně teprve až na začátku 13. století, takže královským městem Praha nebyla nadlouho.

Hrad a podhradí
Kníže Soběslav I. přenesl sídlo z Vyšehradu zpět na původní hradiště, které od roku 1135 přestavoval na kamennými hradbami opevněný hrad. Oba břehy podhradí spojené dřevěným mostem měly charakter předměstského osídlení s individuálně opevněnými dvorci a dalšími stavbami (Týn). V roce 1172 byl dokončen Juditin most, historicky druhý nejstarší kamenný most ve střední Evropě. Vedle něj vyrůstala johanitská pevnost při kostele Panny Marie, na petřínské stráni byl budován mohutný premonstrátský Strahovský klášter. V této době se v Praze také již začínají stavět románské kamenné domy, např. palác v Řetězové ulici.

Založení pražských měst

Roku 1230 též Staré Město, po spojení několika menších obcí, obehnaly hradby; následovalo zavedení jednotného městského práva, po vzoru norimberského práva. V této době vznikají na druhé straně za řekou také i Hradčany.

V roce 1338 je založena Staroměstská radnice, roku 1342 je Juditin most stržen povodní. Krátce poté začíná být budován nový most, Karlův. O další dva roky později je pražské biskupství povýšeno na arcibiskupství a zahájena je i výstavba katedrály svatého Víta. V tomto období začíná vláda Karla IV., který do Prahy přesunul hlavní město Svaté říše římské. Následuje období rozvoje obchodu a prosperity.
