Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol (Black God, White Devil)
Suns Cinema
It was this second feature of his that made Brazilian director Glauber Rocha a phenomenon in the fertile land of the new world cinemas of the 1960s. Fiery and voluble, torrential and poetic, revolutionary and radical, Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol is an exploration of Brazilian local narrative traditions as a framing device for a freeform look at the dialectic between oppression and freedom. Though this might seem to make it an activist picture, the end result is nothing of the sort, thanks to the sheer bravado of the filmmaking, invoking at the same time Sergei Eisenstein and the American western, and its anchoring in a well-known local reality.
Its the tale of a long-suffering poor farmer in the Northern dry lands of Brazil, Manuel (Geraldo del Rey), who revolts against his status as almost slave labour by killing a land baron and fleeing into the sertão, choosing first to embrace radical religion then overt banditry, before realising neither holds the answer to his dreams of having his own parcel of land to live off of. Mr. Rochas daring conflagration of stark, dramatic black-and-white expressionist visuals and post-modern freeform happening constructs a one-way trip into a blindingly bright heart of darkness that veers wildly from entranced religious delirium into an opaque tension bubbling under the surface. The film is effectively bisected halfway through by Manuels shifting between religion and banditry, as two halves of a same story or two sides of a same coin, since the farmer looks desperately for some sort of justice that neither path seems able to offer him.
That bisection is part of Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sols risk-taking; it doesnt necessarily fully work in cinematic terms, since the first halfs torrential action flow is abruptly broken by the seconds more contemplative, passive structure. But that is by design rather than by accident, part and parcel of Mr. Rochas daring aesthetics that predate by a few years the later Tropicália movement in its combination of high and low culture to mould an entirely idiossyncratic cultural identity for Brazil. (As an example, he uses both classical composer Heitor Villa-Lobos symphonic work and traditional story-songs created for the film by composer Sérgio Ricardo in its soundtrack.) Seen 50 years later, it remains a passionate cinematic achievement that is like nothing else out there. Jorge Mourinha, The Flickering Wall

Entornointeligente.com / The first set of trucks carrying United States (US) humanitarian aid for crisis-hit Venezuela has arrived in the Colombian border city of Cucuta.
At the same time the US has announced new sanctions on members of the Nicolas Maduro administration.
According to reports, trucks carrying food and medicine from the US are currently parked near the Tienditas Bridge.
The bridge, which connects Cucuta and the city of Urena in Venezuela, remains blocked after the Venezuelan military, earlier this week, placed cargo containers and a tanker lorry across the road surface.
It was not immediately clear how the humanitarian aid would be delivered across the border.
A number of Venezuelan leaders have appealed to the military to allow the relief supplies into the country, but those calls have been rejected by the country's embattled president, who has the support of the army.
Maduro says allowing foreign aid supplies would open the way for US military intervention to oust him.
"No one will enter, not one invading soldier," he insisted.
Opposition Leader Juan Guaido, who has declared himself interim president, has warned many Venezuelans are in danger of dying without international aid.

Mr Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, has picked the National Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential nomination form following the reduction of the filing fee from GH₵400,000 to GH₵300,000.
Mr George Tetteh Wayo, a member of his campaign team picked the form on his behalf.
The NDC's Deputy General Secretary, Mr Peter Boamah Otokunor, presented the form to Mr Tetteh Wayo around 3 pm after issuing a banker's draft for GH₵20,000.
In a brief remark, Mr Wayo, urged the executive members of NDC to ensure a fair and level ground for all the flag aspirants.
Mr Spio-Garbrah who has expressed a strong interest to lead the NDC to Election 2020 declined to pick the nomination form earlier as a protest to what he described as high cost of the filing fee.
He was part of the eight flag bearer aspirants who petitioned the Council of Elders of the NDC to intervene and get the filing fee reduced.
He told journalists last Tuesday that he declined to pick the form as a matter of principle.
At the close of day last Tuesday, five aspirants John Mahama, Joshua Alabi, Stephen Atubiga, Alban Bagbin, and Sylvester Mensah were the only ones who had picked forms out of the total 12 aspirants who have declared interest in the race.

1949: FCC Enacts Fairness Doctrine
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) enacts the Fairness Doctrine, which enjoins American television and radio networks to give "reasonable opportunities" for differing viewpoints on controversial political and social issues to be aired. The Fairness Doctrine has two basic elements: broadcasters must devote some of their airtime to discussions of controversial matters of public interest, and they must air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations have a wide latitude as to how to provide those contrasting views, in news segments, editorials, or public affairs shows. The rule comes from a 1928 practice adopted by the forerunner of the FCC, the Federal Radio Commission (FRC), which called for broadcasters to show "due regard for the opinions of others." [Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, 2/12/2005; Jamieson and Cappella, 2008, pp. 45] The FCC views station licensees as "public trustees," and as such have an obligation to afford reasonable opportunity for discussion of contrasting points of view on controversial issues of public importance. [Museum of Broadcasting, 1/27/2008] In 2005, communications law expert Steve Rendell will write: "There are many misconceptions about the Fairness Doctrine. For instance, it did not require that each program be internally balanced, nor did it mandate equal time for opposing points of view. And it didn't require that the balance of a station's program lineup be anything like 50/50. Nor, as Rush Limbaugh has repeatedly claimed, was the Fairness Doctrine all that stood between conservative talkshow hosts and the dominance they would attain after the doctrine's repeal. In fact, not one Fairness Doctrine decision issued by the FCC had ever concerned itself with talkshows. Indeed, the talkshow format was born and flourished while the doctrine was in operation. Before the doctrine was repealed, right-wing hosts frequently dominated talkshow schedules, even in liberal cities, but none was ever muzzled… The Fairness Doctrine simply prohibited stations from broadcasting from a single perspective, day after day, without presenting opposing views." Rendell will note that the Fairness Doctrine has won support from organizations on all sides of the political and social spectrum. [Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, 2/12/2005]

1959: Congress Enacts Fairness Doctrine
Congress amends the Communication Act of 1934 to enshrine the Fairness Doctrine (see 1949) into law. The pertinent portion of the act now reads, "A broadcast licensee shall afford reasonable opportunity for discussion of conflicting views on matters of public importance."

June 9, 1969: Supreme Court Upholds Fairness Doctrine
In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court rules that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s Fairness Doctrine, which mandates that broadcasters provide opportunities for differing viewpoints to be aired concerning political and social issues (see 1949 and 1959), is constitutional. The case, Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC, concerns personal attacks alleged by journalist Fred Cook, who says he was vilified on the air by conservative Christian broadcaster Reverend Billy James Hargis. Cook had demanded free air time under the Fairness Doctrine to respond to the attacks. In an 8-0 decision, the Court rules that although similar laws are unconstitutional when applied to the press, radio stations must hew to a different standard because of the limited public airwaves. Justice Byron White, writing for the majority, finds: "A license permits broadcasting, but the licensee has no constitutional right to be the one who holds the license or to monopolize a radio frequency to the exclusion of his fellow citizens. There is nothing in the First Amendment which prevents the government from requiring a licensee to share his frequency with others.… There is no sanctuary in the First Amendment for unlimited private censorship operating in a medium not open to all.… It is the right of the viewers and listeners, not the right of the broadcasters, which is paramount.… It is the purpose of the First Amendment to preserve an uninhibited marketplace of ideas in which truth will ultimately prevail, rather than to countenance monopolization of that market, whether it be by the government itself or a private licensee. It is the right of the public to receive suitable access to social, political, esthetic, moral, and other ideas and experiences which is crucial here. That right may not constitutionally be abridged either by Congress or by the FCC." White's ruling warns that if the Fairness Doctrine ever restrains speech, then its constitutionality should be reconsidered. [Red Lion Broadcasting Co., Inc. v. Federal Communications Commission, 6/9/1969; York Daily Record, 5/6/2003; Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, 2/12/2005]

1985: FCC Abandons Fairness Doctrine
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decides that the Fairness Doctrine, in place since 1949 (see 1949 and 1959), is no longer needed to control political discussions on American broadcasts. The Fairness Doctrine requires that broadcasters provide "reasonable opportunities" for the presentation of differing views on controversial public issues. [Jamieson and Cappella, 2008, pp. 45] The FCC's leadership is now populated largely with Reagan administration political appointees, conservatives who have a strong interest in deregulating the broadcast industry. First among these appointees is FCC chairman Mark Fowler, formerly a broadcast lawyer who has little patience for the idea that broadcasters have a unique role or bear special responsibilities to ensure broad discourse. "The perception of broadcasters as community trustees should be replaced by a view of broadcasters as marketplace participants," Fowler says. In 1983, he said that television is "just another appliance—it's a toaster with pictures." He endorses near-complete deregulation, having said in 1983, "We've got to look beyond the conventional wisdom that we must somehow regulate this box." The only regulations Fowler supports are those that help corporations manage frequency licensing. Fowler came into the FCC vowing to repeal the Fairness Doctrine, and spends his time as chairman working towards that goal, arguing that the doctrine violates broadcasters' First Amendment rights. Though the doctrine remains law, the FCC stops enforcing it. [Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, 2/12/2005]

1986: Federal Court Rules Fairness Doctrine Not Needed
A federal appeals court agrees with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that the Fairness Doctrine, which mandates that broadcasters provide opportunities for different sides of controversial political and social issues (see 1949 and 1959), is no longer needed (see 1985). [Jamieson and Cappella, 2008, pp. 45] In the case Meredith Corp. v. FCC, the court rules 2-1—with Reagan administration appointees Robert Bork and Antonin Scalia overriding the third judge—that Congress had not actually made the Fairness Doctrine an actual law. Bork writes, "We do not believe that language adopted in 1959 made the Fairness Doctrine a binding statutory obligation" because the doctrine was imposed "under," not "by," the Communications Act of 1934. In Bork's opinion, the 1959 amendment established that the FCC could apply the doctrine, but is not legally obliged to do so. Therefore, the FCC can retain or drop the rule as it likes. According to the Media Access Project, "The decision contravened 25 years of FCC holdings that the doctrine had been put into law in 1959."

1987: FCC Repeals Fairness Doctrine

1988: Congress Fails to Bring Back Fairness Doctrine
Congress attempts to bring back the Fairness Doctrine (see 1987), a provision that mandates the broadcasting of differing viewpoints on controversial political and social issues (see 1949 and 1959). Though the legislation passes both houses of Congress by wide margins, President Reagan vetoes the legislation, and Congress is unable to muster enough votes to override the veto. In 2008, authors Kathleen Hall Jamieson and Joseph N. Cappella will write: "The end of the Fairness Doctrine paved the way for talk radio as we know it today (see 1990-1993). Neither hosts nor stations currently have an obligation to provide balance or to open their programs to those of competing views."

February 12, 2005: Progressive Communications Law Expert Calls for Reinstatement of Fairness Doctrine
In an article examining the history and impact of the Fairness Doctrine (see 1949 and 1959), progressive communications law expert Steve Rendell writes that since the doctrine's repeal (see 1987 and 1988), there has been far less coverage of controversial public issues on the nation's airwaves. The Media Access Project (MAP) says, "Since the demise of the Fairness Doctrine we have had much less coverage of issues," with television news and public affairs programming decreasing both locally and nationally. Twenty-five percent of broadcast stations offer no local news or public affairs programming at all. Rendell writes: "The most extreme change has been in the immense volume of unanswered conservative opinion heard on the airwaves, especially on talk radio. Nationally, virtually all of the leading political talkshow hosts are right-wingers: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Oliver North, G. Gordon Liddy, Bill O'Reilly, and Michael Reagan, to name just a few. The same goes for local talkshows. One product of the post-Fairness era is the conservative 'Hot Talk' format, featuring one right-wing host after another and little else." A lawyer in Oregon, Edward Monks, found that his local stations broadcast 80 hours per week of Republican and conservative talk, and none whatsoever of Democratic or liberal/progressive talk. Monks wrote: "Political opinions expressed on talk radio are approaching the level of uniformity that would normally be achieved only in a totalitarian society. There is nothing fair, balanced, or democratic about it." Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has written, "The FCC [Federal Communications Commission]'s pro-industry, anti-regulatory philosophy has effectively ended the right of access to broadcast television by any but the moneyed interests." Rendell concludes that the nation "need[s] a Fairness Doctrine. It's not a universal solution. It's not a substitute for reform or for diversity of ownership. It's simply a mechanism to address the most extreme kinds of broadcast abuse." [Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, 2/12/2005]

Reading "Inventing ourselves – the secret life of the teenage brain" by Sarah-Jayne Blakemore; week 1
Posted: June 24, 2020/Under: Action against exclusion, behaviour management, first response, pastoral support, Solutions Focused coaching/By: Geoff James
"When I tell people I study the adolescent brain, the immediate response is often a joke – something along the lines of : 'What? Teenagers have brains?' For some reason it's acceptable to mock people in this stage of their lives. But when you think about it, this is strange: we wouldn't ridicule other age groups in the same way. Imagine if we went around openly sneering at the elderly for their poor memory or lack of agility." (Blakemore S-J 2019 "Inventing ourselves; …… the teenage brain." Chapter 1 "Adolescence isn't an aberration")
This opening paragraph of Dr. Blakemore's book sums up the purpose of our reading group, 'Follow the Arrows'. Dr Blakemore has spent her life researching and building evidence that we can use as educators, to understand young people better and create better ways of meeting their changing needs.
The reading group is a new initiative, to help bridge the current gap between published evidence and practices around behaviour in schools.
'Follow the Arrows' book group (when we were looking for a name, one of the group was struck by the COVID19 signposting in her local supermarket) is a social response, an open access group, with regular meetings over internet video. You're very welcome to join us for an hour or so of reflection every fortnight. Our first title was Perry and Szalavitz's "The Boy who was Raised as a Dog". In mid-June we took up my proposal to read Blakemore's book, reading the first four chapters for week 1.
The reading group includes educators from a wide background, working across the range of children's needs, all with an interest in finding accessible evidence to provide a firm basis for our work. We're interested in looking below and beyond the headlines for the kind of information that can transfer to schools, strengthening the two-way conversation between research and practice.
Perry and Szalavitz' book leaned towards the transfer of evidence from the psychiatrist's clinic for severely traumatised children to school where many children, including trauma-experienced children, are looking for support. It presented powerful evidence on effective, non-medical, educational and kind ways of supporting the learning of these children.
The first reading
First comments on "Inventing ourselves" were that it's very readable, with 'not too much heavy science' in the first four chapters. It was also noted that Blakemore referred to the common knowledge about 'normal' teen behaviour and talked about herself as a teenager; this was seen as a positive aspect of these opening chapters – that we should remember ourselves at fifteen and reflect on what sort of teachers we needed then, since teenagers aren't aliens, they are us.
The finding that adolescents take more risks when they were were with their peers than on their own, and the science behind, it was new knowledge to some. To others, the stronger effect of peers than adults on social learning and emergent behaviour was known, but the book adds added significance to school practices, such as coaching and mentoring, vertical streaming and vertical tutor groups, taken up by some successful and inclusive schools as transformative practice. It also raised the question; how much should adults intervene and how should they do it? Standing back from the direct action of low- or zero-tolerance approaches and allowing children and young people the space to and develop, such as in my own Solutions Focused approach, matches up to the evidence.
We noted the evidence that social exclusion and isolation have a serious and long-lasting adverse effect on adolescents. Leading on from this, a reading group member brought up the issue of the effect of school exclusion on looked-after children and young people, the potentially traumatising effect of behaviour policy based on isolation and removal and how this group could be expected to react – a group of children and young people which is heavily over-represented in exclusion figures in the UK. In the school context, there's evidence here to support those responses to children with additional needs arising from the effects of trauma, disability, or where they are in their developmental trajectory, which prioritise human relationships over reward/punishment micromanagement of behaviour.
Now, with the COVID19 'follow the science' mantra ringing in our ears, and the evidence of the serious effects of the pandemic on the mental health, wellbeing and educational engagement of many children and young people, we have a golden opportunity to bring evidence to bear on how we go about entering the new world. 'Follow the Arrows' could point to the road ahead and I'm looking forward to tonight's meeting, on chapters 5 to 8 and to writing my next report.

A child has changes in symptoms, is confused, is difficult to wake up, is lethargic (sluggish), or irritable.
A child is unable to drink fluids.
A child's skin becomes much more yellow in color.
A child has signs of dehydration such as no urine in over eight hours or a dry mouth.
A child starts to look very sick.
Fluids and diet. The best treatment is to ensure that the child drinks a lot of fluids and eats well.
Rest. The child should rest while he or she has fever or jaundice. When fever and jaundice are gone, activity may be gradually increased as with the healthcare provider's approval.
Medications. There is no medicine that gets rid of HBV or heals the liver. There are medications available to treat chronic HBV-infection. These work for some people, but experience with children is limited. Three drugs are licensed, as of 2004, for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B: Adefovir dipivoxil, alpha interferon, and lamivudine.
If mothers have HBV in their blood, they can give hepatitis B to their baby during childbirth . Babies who get HBV at birth may have the virus for the rest of their lives, can spread the disease, and can get cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer. The CDC recommends that all pregnant women be tested for HBV early in their pregnancy. If the blood test is positive, the baby should receive vaccine along with hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) at birth. The second dose of vaccine should be given at one to two months of age and the third dose at six months of age.

Haul Out is in full swing at our Marina, signifying the fast approaching end of the boating season of 2009 in our part of the woods. I'm negotiating to keep my boat in the water until the last week of October.
Unfortunately, we had an incident at our Marina - a fire. It pretty well destroyed two boats and the Travel Lift. Thankfully no one was hurt. It could have been much worse as the fire/explosion occured adjacent to the Gas Dock.
See the attached links for video.
Holy smokes!!!! Glad to hear no one was hurt. What started the fire?
My boat is still in the water, we'll be out this weekend for the last time probably then it will come out either next week or the week after, whenever I get it arranged.
Not sure what started the fire, but I'll get the scoop when I go up to the Marina tomorrow night.
My wife and I are still in the water too in Lake St Clair. We aren't scheduled to be pulled until 22 Oct. It has just been terrible weather for the past couple weeks plus! And the forecast isn't looking any better!?! My brother-in-law took his Tiara out late Sep and I thought he was crazy... It looks like he was the smart one!
Maybe the "weather guessers" can be wrong for a change!
Here's a pic of the just-in-time rental replacement for the TraveLift destroyed in the fire, so we could get our boats out of the water my the end of October.

There are several situations in which tree removal becomes necessary. The most common is when the trees start to rot, or simply get old. Another is when storm damage has torn the trees out from the ground, reducing them to debris.
Tree removal is a very strenuous task. While a person might be able to move a sapling without much trouble, a hauling a fallen full-grown tree is a much different story. Doing this safely requires the training and equipment that only certified tree cutters will possess.
Here at the Bob Koch 215-CUT-TREE, we offer a variety of services for Philadelphia, PA, residents. In addition to taking out trees, we also trim trees and perform brush removal.

November 1st 2017: Beendigen in partnership with, Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses is calling on all Ontarians to purchase a purple scarf from your local Women's Shelter during Woman Abuse Prevention Month for the 5th Annual Wrapped in Courage Campaign.
Wrapped in Courage: Women Shelters and community organizations across the province are engaging with their communities to address the overlooked issue of Woman Abuse in Ontario. Throughout the month of November, we are inviting everyone in Ontario to show their support by wearing a purple scarf to let women and their children know they are not alone. The courage of a woman alone is not enough. It takes the commitment and support of an entire community to end violence against all women.
For nearly 40 years the Ontario Association of Interval and Transition Houses has been supporting Women Shelters across the province to provide safe housing, counselling, legal and outreach support services to assist women to live their lives free from violence. We need to work together to eliminate all forms of violence for all women and children in Ontario. Your support of Women's Shelter Services is essential in making that happen.

Polifonte è un personaggio della mitologia greca, figlio di Autofono.

Fu messo al comando di cinquanta guerrieri tebani col compito di tendere un'imboscata a Tideo, ma quest'ultimo, per volontà degli dei, riuscì a ucciderli tutti, lasciandone vivo solo uno (chiamato Meone) perché potesse raccontare ciò che era successo. Ciononostante è citato tra i sette guerrieri tebani incaricati di difendere ognuna delle sette porte di Tebe nella guerra tra Eteocle e Polinice, nella tragedia I sette contro Tebe di Eschilo.

Indiana's Path to 3 Straight Bowls is Clear and Attainable
November 11, 2017 Mike Schumann IUFB 1
The Indiana breakthrough didn't happen in 2017, but Indiana still has much to play for. In fact, if Indiana can win its final 2 games it will accomplish something that it has only achieved 1 other time in its history — play in 3 straight bowl games. The 1986 to 1988 Hoosiers under Bill Mallory were the only others to do it. Those Hoosier teams had what was likely the greatest run of sustained success in the program's history. So if these Hoosiers can achieve something that has only been done 1 other time, and that was 30 years ago, then perhaps there would be some measure of a breakthrough. Sure, it wouldn't be the breakthrough, but relative to the program's history it wouldn't be something insignificant either.
So what will it take to get it done? The Hoosiers' 2 remaining games are certainly winnable. They play at home against Rutgers (4-6, 3-4) next Saturday, and then at Purdue (4-6, 2-5) in 2 weeks. Indiana could potentially be favored in both games, but both are likely to be tight and the team that makes the fewest mistakes is likely to win. Let's take a quick look at both teams:
Rutgers has played better than expected this year. Like Indiana, they've had a brutal B1G East schedule and threw in a season opening game against Top 10 Washington for good measure. Save for a 56-0 loss at home against Ohio State, they've hung in games against the big boys but weren't able to finish. Sound familiar? Since Indiana and Rutgers both play in the B1G East, they've had a lot of common opponents:
Ohio State 56 Rutgers 0 (at Rutgers)
Ohio State 49 Indiana 21 (at Indiana)
Rutgers 35 Illinois 24 (at Illinois)
Indiana 24 Illinois 14 (at Illinois)
Michigan 35 Rutgers 14 (at Michigan)
Michigan 27 Indiana 20 (OT, at Indiana)
Rutgers 31 Maryland 24 (at Rutgers)
Maryland 42 Indiana 39 (at Maryland)
Penn State 35 Rutgers 6 (at Penn State)
Penn State 45 Indiana 14 (at Penn State)
If you can draw any definitive conclusions from these matchups we'd love to hear about it. Perhaps you could argue that IU was more competitive against Michigan and Ohio State, but to us, it says expect a close game. Moreover, Rutgers is still playing for a bowl game just like the Hoosiers. And if you just can't allow yourself to imagine Indiana actually losing to Rutgers under these circumstances, we remind you of this doozy, a game that Indiana led 52-28 in the 3rd quarter.
The season ending road game at Purdue looked like a very difficult game for Indiana to win only a few weeks ago. New head coach Jeff Brohm has the Boilers playing at a much higher level than they have in recent years. It almost certainly still will be tough game for the Hoosiers, as this is a rivalry game and Purdue would like nothing better than to eliminate Indiana from bowl eligibility and end its 4 game losing streak in the series. But Purdue suffered a significant injury, losing their best QB David Blough. They do have an experienced backup in Elijah Sindelar, but Blough was clearly the more productive. Additionally, Purdue is unlikely to be playing for bowl eligibility unless they can win a very tough game at Iowa next week. A loss against the Hawkeyes will put the Boilers at 4-7 going into the Bucket Game.
Purdue and Indiana have had 3 common opponents thus far:
Michigan 28 Purdue 10 (at Michigan)
Wisconsin 17 Purdue 9 (at Wisconsin)
Wisconsin 45 Indiana 17 (at Indiana)
Purdue 29 Illinois 10 (at Purdue)
Again, nothing real clarifying here, especially in light of the Blough injury. While it might look like Purdue played Wisconsin closer and Indiana played Michigan closer — those games were in fact closer than the scores suggest. We see another close game here as well.
Can the Hoosiers pull out 2 more tight games to get to .500? We don't know, but their play today against Illinois showed us that they won't lose due to a lack of effort. Their hearts are still in it.

Oh, God. The President Is Watching OANN Now.
Oh, God. The President Is Watching One America News Now.
Apparently, Fox News was insufficiently loyal to Donald Trump. So he's gone down the rabbit hole.
By Jack Holmes Published: Jun 9, 2020
NICHOLAS KAMM//Getty Images
It appears the Fox News Channel has been insufficiently loyal to the current president. It might be hard to believe considering they've got a three-hour morning show devoted to boosting him, where the Fox & Friends dunces defend him from 6 a.m. onwards. Granted, from nine to noon there is a Serious News Show—America's Newsroom—which merely slants reality rather than remake it wholesale. But then we're back with Outnumbered around lunch. There are some more Serious Shows in the afternoon, broken up by the mind-bending lackey stupidity of The Five, before we arrive for the primetime hours. That's where Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham go back-to-back to reassure the audience of aging paranoiacs that the whole world really is out to get our president, a simple patriot and self-made businessman who's safeguarding America against the hordes of Others.
But none of this was enough, apparently. Not enough subservience, not enough uncut racism. The president is diversifying his information stream to include a television channel that makes Fox News look like PBS NewsHour. The leader of the free world, we regret to report, is watching One America News Network. In fact, he has been for some time.
Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 9, 2020
The "Buffalo protester" is the 75-year-old man whom that city's police were caught on video shoving to the ground last Thursday before they marched right by him as he lay motionless, bleeding from his head. Two of the officers involved have been charged with felony assault, but that hasn't stopped the President of the United States suggesting this is all a grand scheme orchestrated by.....ANTIFA! Is the official who charged the officers—Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn—involved in this sinister plot? Antifa has a man on the inside! Or maybe this is the dumbest fucking thing...well. The dumbest thing the president has said so far today.
You may remember OANN from their various White House stunts, which often seem to be pre-coordinated with the president. One reporter from this distinguished news service attempted to defuse concerns about calling the novel coronavirus "the China virus" by asking the president if the term "Chinese food" is racist. Apparently, this was supposed to be clever. Notice in that clip how Trump spells out the OANN name for anyone who might be interested in tuning in for more of this. Symbiosis! In some cases, the president cannot help completely telegraphing that he's instructed the OANN plant to ask him about something, because while he can do reality-show improv, the president is no good with fully scripted TV.
Matt Gertz of MediaMatters dug up the segment the president subjected himself—and then the world—to this morning. It might be best described as radioactive dog shit. While it may seem like the script has been fed into an early-2000s iMac reading program—"I do. Not know. What I am reading."—it is apparently the voice of "Kristian Rouz, a Russian national also on the payroll of the Kremlin's official propaganda outlet, Sputnik." Here's part one, if you can stomach it.
Here's the first half of the batshit OANN segment Trump just tweeted. It alleges the 75 year old man assaulted by Buffalo police officers was an antifa operative, based on a report from Conservative Treehouse. pic.twitter.com/CeMVyJcoh8
— Matthew Gertz (@MattGertz) June 9, 2020
This is based on a report by "Conservative Treehouse"? It's a television channel devoted to boosting whatever drivel your uncle is pushing on Facebook. It's a reminder that the president has cultivated a truly poisonous information stream, a product of his fragile self-conception that demands no dissenting particulars ever come across his vision. As the realities of his complete ineptitude in office only grow clearer, he's forced to retreat deeper and deeper into conspiratorial worlds. Abandon Fox! Retreat to OANN!
It's also a sign that the new conjuring word of the moment is officially ANTIFA! Never mind that Antifa is not some organized group—much less, as the president has tried to say recently, a terrorist organization. Never mind that it stands for "anti-fascist," which once upon a time felt like pretty much a universal American principle. Antifa is a name now for the shadows and monsters in the paranoid American psyche, the watchword for all the creeping Others coming for you and yours. They are coming on buses to a suburb near you, coming to ransack your small town in Oregon. The Do Nothing Democrats and the Fake News Media are aiding and abetting them. Anyone could be Antifa. The enemy is all around us, even in the form of a 75-year-old peace activist, and they're hatching elaborate plots that bring order to the apparent chaos.
Two Men Drove Cars Into Crowds of Protesters
How Many Bad Apples to Assault an Old Man?
That, in the end, is the ultimate appeal of these conspiracies, which allow people who feared and resented a rapidly changing world even before these supersonic months of late to remake it all into a simple story where they're the good guy. But make no mistake: this stuff is profoundly dangerous. A growing number of Americans are now subsumed in delusion, convinced the world has abandoned them to the lawless mobs headed for their town right now, at least according to Facebook. They are taking up arms, appointing themselves as The Law. It is not Antifa hordes who have run amok, but the paranoid style in the American psyche.
This is the toxic brew in which the president's brain has been fermenting for years now. It's the brew he would dip the whole nation in, given the chance, and there are plenty out there who still listen to him, who will follow him deeper into the abyss. But the gears of history are truly in motion now, and events have moved beyond his ability to control. He can feel his grip loosening, but he will use the strength he has left to wield these false realities as both sword and shield. His desperation will mean peril for us all, until he is removed from any position of power and authority and left to watch cable news all day with the other angry, paranoid shut-ins.

Q: Android detect peak on microphone I tried to find the answer to my question in several other threads, but i couldn´t find one fitting.
I have a light barrier consisting of 2 photo-transistors. I want to detect the peaks of these barriers with the android headphone jack. I need to know the time between these.
I´ve got a amplifier cicuit for it already, so the peaks are pretty steep now.
My approach is to use the AudioRecord class, scan through the buffer, find the rising edge, start a timer and stop it after the second peak.
That´s kinda working already, but only for times around 100ms.
What I need is to measure precisely in the 1-10ms region. The peak is maybe around 0.1ms wide.
I call the peak detect funktion every 0.01ms, but i noticed, that it hast around 3000 values in its buffer to scan through this. I think that it takes too long to scan through these.
Am I stuck on the wrong approach? Is there a more easy way to do this? It just hast to be fast ;-).
Thank You in Advance!

UAE Cabinet introduces new visa facilitation, foreign workers insurance scheme
Keywords:Sheikh Mohammed bin RashidUAE
Photo:Reuters
A new policy has been adopted by The Cabinet of UAE which is headed by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
According to UAE official news agency Wam, the new policy requires workers to pay only Dh60 annually for insurance, compared to the previous amount of Dh3,000
The newly created scheme secures workers' rights in the private sector and reduces the burdens on employers. It allows businesses to recover approximately Dh14 billion, representing the value of current guarantees paid by employers, which will enable them to further invest in the development of their business.
The system also enhances the ease of doing business in the UAE, which effectively contributes to market prosperity and growth. The new system aims to achieve a wider coverage of the rights and entitlements for the workers.
The value of the insurance policy in the new system is AED 60 per year for each worker and covers the workers' entitlements in terms of end of service benefits, vacation allowance, overtime allowance, unpaid wages, worker's return ticket and cases of work injury, in which the insurance coverage amounts to Dh20,000 per worker.
The Cabinet also adopted a number of visa facilitations for visitors, residents, families and people overstaying their visa to cater for a wider segment of the society.
The Cabinet approved a new legislative package, including a review of the current residency system to allow a two-year extension of the residency period for the dependents of their parents after finishing their university studies.
A new decision has also been approved to exempt transit passengers from all entry fees for the first 48 hours.
Transit visa can be extended for up to 96 hours for a fee of only Dh50. Obtaining transit visa will be facilitated by a number of express counter at the passport-control hall across UAE airports.
In the same context, the Cabinet adopted a decision to grant people overstaying their visa a chance to leave the country voluntarily without a "no entry" passport stamp.
A new 6-month visa will be introduced for job seekers who overstayed their visa but wish to work in the country. The temporary visa enhances the UAE's position as a land of opportunities and a destination for talents and professionals.
As for Individuals who entered the UAE illegally, they will have the chance to leave voluntarily with a "no entry" stamp for two years given that they provide a valid return ticket.
Equally, in a step aimed at simplifying the process and easing the financial burden on individuals wishing to adjust or renew their visa, they can now do so for a fee without having to leave and re-enter the country. On the other hand, the Cabinet adopted a resolution on empowering "People of Determination" and enabling them to access the job market.
The resolution provides them with the necessary support to obtain equal employment opportunities in various sectors in line with the Government's social development programs for all segments of the society.
In the same context, the Cabinet adopted the decision to host the headquarters of the Asian Paralympic Committee in the UAE to serve as a unique sports hub in Asia and to provide training courses and workshops for "People of Determination".
In the regulatory affairs, the Cabinet approved the amendment of the statutes of the Al Etihad Credit Bureau.
It also adopted a draft law on the adoption of the unified final account for the fiscal year 2017, and approved an additional financial plan for the general budget of the Union for the fiscal year 2018.
The Cabinet adopted an agreement between the Government of the UAE and the Government of the Russian Federation on the mutual exemption of visa requirements for citizens of the UAE and the citizens of the Russian Federation, thus opening new horizons for mutual tourism, investment and trade.
The Cabinet also adopted an agreement between the Government of the United Arab Emirates and the International Exhibitions Bureau on the privileges and benefits accorded to official participants in Expo2020.
The Cabinet ratified two agreements on air transport services between the Government of the UAE and the Government The Republic of Guinea, and the Government of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
The Cabinet endorsed a number of agreements on the mutual protection of investments between the Government of the UAE and the Government of the Republic of Rwanda, the Government of the Republic of Uganda and the Government of the Republic of Colombia.
As well as the endorsement of conventions on the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of financial evasion in respect of taxes on income and capital with the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Government of the Republic of Rwanda, and the Government of Turkmenistan.

World Cup III: who to watch this weekend and how
World Rowing Cup III begins this weekend in Rotterdam
Words Benedict Tufnell
Photography Benedict Tufnell
Published 11.07.19
UPDATE: Watch our live feed from the finals now
The world's best rowers are preparing to face off this weekend in the third and final 2019 world cup regatta. It marks the last chance for crews to test themselves ahead of the 2019 World Rowing Championships in Austria in August.
Racing begins on Friday 12 July on Rotterdam's international regatta course, the Willem Alexanderbaan and includes the historic Dutch Holland Beker Regatta. More that 700 athletes from 42 nations will take part.
Who to watch
In the women's pair, the current world record holders for the event – Kerri Gowler and Grace Prendergast of New Zealand – go in to the weekend as favourites. The New Zealanders are unbeaten this season having won at World Cup II last month and most recently at Henley Royal Regatta. Their biggest competition will be the Australian pair of Jessica Morrison and Annabelle McIntyre. This duo recently finished just a few seconds behind the Kiwis at Poznan.

In the men's pair it looks likely to be a showdown between the Croation Sinkovic brothers who are current world champions but did not race in Poznan due to injury and the Australian team's top sweep rowers Alexander Hill and Spencer Turrin.
In the women's quads China won the first two world cup regattas this season but are not entered in Rotterdam meaning it will likely be a battle between Germany, Poland and the Netherlands for the gold this weekend.
In the men's quads, Poland will look to continue their winning streak having already won the first two world cup races this season.
The men's single is another tough one to call, with no clear front runner. Denmark's Sverri Nielsen turned heads in Poland last month with a somewhat surprise win at world cup II. If he has maintained his speed Nielsen will be a strong contender here but reigning world champion Kjetil Borch is rapidly returning to form following an injury this season and Olli Zeidler (GER) and Ondrej Synek (CZE) wont turn over easily. Don't forget Robbie Manson (NZL) who won the third world cup last summer and beat Drysdale for the New Zealand team single spot this season.

In the women's single reigning World and European Champion Sanita Puspure of Ireland has withdrawn from Rotterdam leaving the door open for 2017 World Champion, Jeannine Gmelin of Switzerland and World Rowing Cup II winner Emma Twigg of New Zealand to battle for the top spot.
Twigg won last weekend at the Henley Royal Regatta and at world cup II last month and is making her comeback this season having retired after finishing fourth in the single at Rio 2016.
In the women's eight Australia will look to repeat their win in Poznan this weekend. The United States is not entered in Rotterdam but expect medal challenges from Great Britain and New Zealand. Great Britain finished third at World Rowing Cup II, just ahead of New Zealand. New Zealand beat the British last weekend at the Henley Royal Regatta. Current European Champions Romania should also not be counted out.
Photo Australian women's eight in Poznan last month // 2019 World Rowing Cup III, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
The Germans remain firm favourites in the men's eight as they continue their unbeaten streak since the start of the 2017 season. Britain have come close twice this year with two silver medals and New Zealand, featuring Hamish Bond and Mahe Drysdale beat the British eight on home water in Henley last weekend so it will be interesting to see how things shake down between these three in Rotterdam. The United States are also making the first appearance this weekend are an unknown entity.
The favourite in the para PR1 women's single sculls has to be Birgit Skarstein of Norway. Skarstein has dominated this boat class for the last two years and is likely to remain there. But watch out for Israel's Moran Samuel. She is the silver medallist from last year's World Rowing Championships.

Congressional Black Caucus Shows Trump Its Policy Vision for Black America
The group met with the president for the first time on Wednesday afternoon.

In the lead-up to their meeting today with President Donald Trump, Congressional Black Caucus leaders said they would focus on explaining what African Americans stand to lose under a Trump presidency. Now, the caucus has shared its vision for black America in a new document released this afternoon.
Shortly after the meeting with the president ended, the CBC released "We Have a Lot to Lose: Solutions to Advance Black Families in the 21st Century," a 130-page policy document drafted by the caucus in response to a question frequently posed by the president ("What do you have to lose?") when he addressed black voters on the campaign trail. During the campaign, Trump was frequently criticized for characterizing black America as being uniformly decimated by crime and violence.
"We honor this opportunity to enlighten President Trump on the history and diversity of African Americans and offer bold policy solutions to advance our communities, and all Americans, in the 21st century," the document says, adding, "If President Trump is sincere in his interest in advancing the Black community, this document should be the guiding post of his Administration." A copy of the document was delivered to the president during the meeting.
"There were many areas where we disagreed with the policy solutions, but it was a meeting where both sides listened and where we were candid about disagreements," Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) the caucus chair, said at a press conference after the meeting. Richmond said members shared their concerns about how Trump has discussed black communities in the past, but that there was agreement on some issues, like the need for improved infrastructure.
"He listened," Richmond said of Trump.
According to an excerpt sent to Mother Jones ahead of the meeting, the policy document highlights several areas that the CBC wants the president to focus on—including voting rights, the economy, health care, environmental justice, and rural America—and offers detailed solutions. In a section on criminal justice, for example, the document notes that in contrast to Trump's emphasis on adopting "tough-on-crime" policies, the caucus would rather see an end to racial profiling, continued federal oversight of police departments, and reforms to the corrections system. "Taxpayer money would be better spent on the front end of the criminal justice system to prevent crimes from occurring in the first place," the document states.
To solve these problems, the caucus suggests things like de-prioritizing arresting non-violent drug offenders and establishing a permanent White House commission aimed at addressing the needs of black men and boys. The CBC also suggests permanently authorizing and funding the Second Chance Act, a law that provides federal grants for state and local programs aimed at improving reentry into society from prison.
The CBC also delivered letters from several caucus members addressed to the president and members of his Cabinet. In a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Richmond and Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) write that "the first several weeks under your tenure have given us many causes for concern." The congressmen note that they are particularly worried about the fate of criminal justice reform, racial profiling, voting rights, and policing under a Sessions' Justice Department. In January, Richmond and other members of the CBC testified against Sessions' nomination for attorney general, citing his history on racial controversies.
In a letter to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Richmond and Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.) cite their concerns with the administration's focus on school choice vouchers, arguing that diverting funds to private schools will further endanger public schools and leave "the most disadvantaged students with the fewest resources." The letter also notes that despite a highly publicized meeting between the Trump administration and the leaders of historically black colleges and universities, the president's proposed budget offers little insight into how it will address educational institutions specifically aimed at helping minorities.
During the meeting, Trump said he would work to help the black community. "Throughout my campaign, I pledged to focus on improving conditions for African American citizens," he said at the beginning of the meeting. "This means more to me than anybody would understand or know."
The CBC says it will continue to push its agenda and stand against the president when necessary. "We're going to keep advocating," Richmond said as the press conference came to a close. "We're not called the 'conscience of the Congress' for nothing."

Ancient Baby Galaxy Is Caught In The Web
How do galaxies, like our personal huge, majestic, megastar-splattered Milky Way form, and the way do they evolve thru time? When we gaze in surprise upon the night sky above our planet, we see that it's miles incredible with the distant fires of a host of superstars. However, maximum of the Universe is dark, made up of individual, transparent cloth, the identification of which constitutes one of the most profound and bewitching of all mysteries. In August 2015, a group of astronomers led through the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena, California, announced the invention of a big, whirling disk composed of fuel that is a very far off 10 billion light-years away. This captivating, bewildering, bewitching historic structure is thought to be a galaxy-in-the-making–and it's far actively being fed a nutritious components of cool pristine, primordial fuel that may be traced all the way returned to the very starting–the Big Bang start of the Universe nearly 14 billion years in the past, and its discovery sheds new light in this high-quality and profound thriller.
Using Palomar Observatory's Cosmic Web Imager (CWI), that changed into designed and constructed by using Caltech, the astronomers have been capable of image the remote protogalaxy and observed that it's for sure to a filament of the intergalactic medium–the outstanding Cosmic Web that is built of diffuse fuel that weaves its manner among galaxies and extends during the whole Universe.
The large Cosmic Web is a large-scale, web-like shape that is embellished with the starry luminous fires of the galaxies, and it is the notion to have performed the main function within the evolution of galaxies that happened long in the past and far away inside the historic Universe–only some billion years after the Big Bang.
The way that galaxies and count are disbursed within the Universe is not random. The distribution of galaxies, up to the existing time, resembles a great network–the obvious Cosmic Web of ghostly invisibility– an atypical obvious shape flecked with infinite stars. This bizarre, ghostly internet has denser areas composed of surprising organizations and clusters of galaxies. There also are areas that are almost–however not totally empty–which might be the cosmic voids. The filaments link the areas of best density, rather like bridges that connect the densest areas of the Cosmic Web. This filamentary shape has been in comparison to threads woven into the internet.
Galaxies placed in the regions of lesser density have a more possibility of actively giving beginning to extraordinary, new infant stars (protostars). In an evaluation, galaxies located in denser areas supply start to their stellar population lots more slowly. Our own Milky Way Galaxy is located in a region of lesser density.

About the Church Heritage Record
The Church of England's church buildings form the nation's largest "estate" of built heritage. A village, town or city's church is often its oldest building still in continual use, as well as its largest and most visited building. Churches are also often an area's most architecturally complex and archaeologically sensitive buildings. In all cases, they were constructed for the glory of God, for worship and mission, and stand as repositories of our shared history.
ChurchCare - the Church of England's national resource - began a strategic campaign to simplify the Faculty process in 2012. As part of this endeavour, and with the financial assistance of Historic England, ChurchCare developed the Church Heritage Record: a digital database of church buildings integrated with a Geographic Information System (GIS), which can be used for planning and development control, but also fulfils an educational and engagement role.
The Church Heritage Record contains over 16,000 entries on church buildings in England, covering a wide variety of topics from architectural history and archaeology, to the surrounding natural environment. The information contained within has been developed and added to through desk-based research and fieldwork reports, as well as through local initiatives and thematic projects.
The Church Heritage Record also records information about the lives and memories of local people. Church buildings have been the site of some of the most important moments in some people's lives: their births, marriages, and deaths. We want to invite the public to share their memories of their ancestors, using photographs and written stories, on the record's Forum.
Click here to begin your search.
The Church Heritage Record is continuously updated and developed thanks to the dedication and hard work of local volunteers across England. If you have any information which could be used to enrich our records, or if you would like to share your photographs, or know of any interesting projects that are happening in your area, please contact James Miles at:

Knowledge of the Purpose of Community Water Fluoridation -- United States, 1990
Expansion of water-fluoridation programs in the United States has been based on the clear documentation of the caries-preventive benefits of fluoride (1), as well as resources made available since the 1970s through the Fluoridation and Preventive Services Block grants administered by CDC. An estimated 135 million persons in the United States -- approximately 61% of the population served by public water supplies -- have access to drinking water with clinically important levels of fluoride (0.7 ppm or higher) for the prevention of dental caries (2). Efforts to expand the implementation of community water fluoridation require dissemination and understanding of information about health benefits and purported health risks. This report summarizes results from the 1990 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) regarding public knowledge of the purpose and value of fluoridation of community drinking water.
Data for the NHIS were collected by CDC's National Center for Health Statistics through personal interviews with a representative sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized, U.S. population aged greater than or equal to 18 years. The NHIS is conducted throughout the year and has two parts: a basic health and demographic questionnaire (core) that is constant, and several specific health-topic questions directed to adults in sample households. The 1990 NHIS included 41,104 respondents. Respondents were asked: "As you understand it, what is the purpose of adding fluoride to the public drinking water?" Interviewers coded responses as one of the following: "prevent tooth decay, protect teeth, or related response"; "purify the water or related response"; "other"; or "don't know." Analysis reflects adjustment for unequal probabilities of selection and for clustering introduced during sampling.
Almost two thirds (62%) of respondents correctly identified the purpose of fluoridation. Correct knowledge of the purpose of fluoridation was highest for persons aged 35-54 years (68%-70%), than for persons aged 18-24 years (49%) and aged greater than or equal to 75 years (40%) (Table 1).
Persons with more than a high school education were more than twice as likely than those with less than a high school education (76% versus 36%) to correctly identify the purpose of fluoridation. Among persons with a high school education, 61% answered correctly. Among persons with less than a high school education, 30% believed the purpose of fluoridation was to purify water, compared with 36% who knew it was for preventing tooth decay.
Persons who were edentulous (i.e., had lost all of their natural teeth) were less likely to know the correct purpose of fluoridation than were persons who still had their natural teeth (44% versus 64%). In addition, persons who visited the dentist 1-3 times during the preceding 12 months (66%-69%) were more likely to know the correct purpose of fluoridation than those who had not visited the dentist (50%). Reported by: Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Br, Epidemiology and Oral Disease Prevention Program, National Institute of Dental Research; Musculoskeletal Disease Br, Extramural Program, National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, National Institutes of Health. Div of Oral Health and Office of the Director, National Center for Prevention Svcs, CDC.
Editorial Note: Dramatic declines in dental caries in the United States during the past half century that have been attributed largely to water fluoridation and other fluoride therapies reflect the public importance of fluoride exposure to human health (1). At the same time, continuing concerns have been raised about possible adverse health effects of fluoride.
Because more than one third of the U.S. adult population cannot correctly identify the purpose of fluoridation, these persons may be less likely to make an informed decision when presented with conflicting information about the benefits and risks of fluoridation during local efforts to fluoridate. The findings of the NHIS suggest that misunderstanding of or resistance to fluoridation may be associated with the age and educational composition of a community. For example, because older populations have higher rates of edentulousness and are less likely to visit dentists, opportunities for reinforcement of the benefits of fluoridation are reduced (3).
Efforts to fluoridate water may be subjected to greater levels of scrutiny than other public health interventions because fluoridation is a purposeful process to benefit individuals that must be instituted at the community level. For example, issues involving the relation between fluoridation and bone health and osteoporosis are representative of the range of concerns raised about potentially serious health effects of fluoridation. In the United States, approximately 250,000 hip fractures occur each year; osteo-porosis is an important underlying risk factor for this problem (4). However, based on reports from public health agencies, the importance of results from some recent studies examining the relation of fluoride in drinking water to bone health and bone fracture susceptibility (5-10) appears to have been overinterpreted.
To address concerns about the possible relation of bone health to fluoride exposure, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) convened a conference of experts to evaluate current public health practices regarding fluoride (11). The conference participants concluded that there was not an "adequate basis for making firm conclusions relating fluoride levels in drinking water to hip fracture and bone health" (11), and there were no recommended changes in the Public Health Service policy regarding fluoride.
Since the NIH conference, two additional studies have been reported regarding the relation of fluoride exposure to bone health (9,10,12). An ecologic study involving three communities in Utah reported weak statistical evidence of increased risk for hip fracture in the exposed community (9); however, this study was constrained by a variety of methodologic limitations (10). The second study, conducted in Rochester, Minnesota, used a historical baseline incidence of hip fracture in a highly stable population; in this study, there was no increased risk for hip fracture following institution of fluoridation (12). The findings of these additional studies do not alter the conclusions and recommendations of the NIH conference.
The findings of the NHIS indicate a continuing modest level of knowledge of the purpose of fluoridation in the United States -- especially among young adults, the oldest adults, and the least educated. These findings, coupled with conflicting information and possible misinterpretation about safety, may hinder efforts to expand fluoridation. Accordingly, health-care providers, public health agencies, and schools should intensify efforts to educate the public, especially children and young adults, about the benefits of fluoridation and maintaining oral health.
