Ocean's Eight is a pleasantly diverting trifle
Post author By Your Humble Blogger
No Comments on Ocean's Eight is a pleasantly diverting trifle
Gary Ross' Ocean's Eight is, like all Ocean's films before it, a pleasantly diverting trifle. But its relative deficiency of zip and pizzazz makes me wonder if co-producer Steven Soderbergh positioned his own Logan Lucky as an act of sabotage. I found myself mentally compiling a wishlist while watching:
I believe it was intended as a plot twist that James Corden's insurance investigator was chummy with career criminal Debbie Ocean (Sandra Bullock), but it only reduced the stakes
nice to see Elliot Gould and Shaobo Qin, but a cameo from Julia Roberts would have been fun and fitting
speaking of cameos, I would have LOL'd if one of the hapless chefs Cate Blanchett was training had been Topher Grace
the insurance investigator could have been a female English star — how about Emma Thompson? Kate Winslet? Thandie Newton? (yes, thematically, it makes sense for the character to be a male antagonist, but it still seems like a missed casting opportunity)
I didn't note one, just one, quotable line of dialogue (like "and then he'll go to work on you" or "allllllll reds" or "did you check the batteries" or countless others from Ocean's Eleven)
a score by David Holmes would have gone a long way
Some praise: Anne Hathaway was totally the MVP. As in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, she stole all the scenes, and elevated the material.
Some trivia: I was startled to hear an unmistakable sample of No-Man's "Dry Cleaning Ray" repeated several times in Daniel Pemberton's score. I'm a big No-Man fan, and this is a deep cut. I hope Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness were cut a check.

Brad Pitt Lives Life in Reverse in David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
2 Comments on Brad Pitt Lives Life in Reverse in David Fincher's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
This blogger is slowly cooling on former favorite David Fincher. His underrated first feature Alien3 is highly compromised, but easily the next most thematically interesting entry in the Alien franchise (after, of course, Ridley Scott's rich original). Se7en is one of the most gut-wrenchingly disturbing movies ever made, notable for having virtually no violence appear onscreen, despite its reputation. Fight Club is perhaps the movie of the nineties, an eccentric blast of countercultural fury. But almost everything that followed seemed a disappointment. The Game was wildly implausible without the pop and sizzle that carried the similarly over-the-top Fight Club. Panic Room was an empty exercise in style, seemingly conceived solely for Fincher to experiment with new digital techniques that would allow him to create impossibly continuous camera moves through the walls and floors of a city brownstone (and possibly also as another vehicle for star Jodie Foster's persona as a single parent to be reckoned with). Zodiac was highly praised both as a tight procedural thriller and as a tour-de-force of still more bleeding-edge digital special effects (so good that most viewers wouldn't suspect that many sequences were not traditionally shot in camera), but it did absolutely nothing for me. I'm wondering if I missed some key aspect of it that would open it up to me – and that perhaps I should reappraise it now that a director's cut is available on DVD.
You're only as old as you feel
The advance marketing for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button excited me at first, but I was apprehensive when I learned the screenplay (loosely based on a 1921 short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald) was by Eric Roth, the writer of Forrest Gump. Indeed, it did turn out to be constructed in a similar vein and tone, even mimicking some of the corniest devices of Gump: the famous digital feather twirling in the wind has been replaced by an unlikely reappearing hummingbird; Forrest's mother's aphorism "life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get" has its analog in the less memorable "you never know what's coming for you"; even Forrest Gump's parade of cameos by famous or infamous Americans is here continued with an appearance by Teddy Roosevelt. Against my will, this cutesiness did succeed in drawing me in for most of its running time. I was engrossed for much of it, but its leisurely three-hour running time honestly strained my patience by about the two-hour mark.
Fincher and Roth relate the decades-long story via the framing device of Benjamin's (Brad Pitt) one true love Daisy (Cate Blanchett) on her deathbed, introducing her adult daughter Caroline (Julia Ormond) to her biological father through a dramatic reading of his diary, with gaps filled in from her own memory. A soon-to-be infamous hurricane brews outside the Louisiana hospital room, shortly to erase much of Benjamin and Daisy's milieu. The multiple layers of storytelling result is no less than three speaking voices to narrate the tale in voiceover. One framing device too far?
Cate Blanchett is a beautiful woman, and will be at any age, but it's eerie to see her appear to be in her 20s
The central conceit of the story is a fantastically unfortunate disease that afflicts one Benjamin Button. His body is born aged and decrepit, and ages backwards while his mind matures normally. As he aptly puts it when still a boy, he was "born old." Taking this story as anything other than a parable or fairy tale would be to miss the point, but the photorealistic special effects place the movie firmly in believable reality. So this viewer's mind (when not distracted by the high-tech visuals) wandered into logistics. Some of the rules don't seem to hold up: as a chronological adolescent, he manifests the typical sexual desires and self-centeredness. But his aged body strangely has the physical fitness and stamina/potency to act them out (we see him preening in front of a mirror, seemingly only aged from the neck up). Also, presumably, Benjamin can be assured to die when his body regresses to infancy. So, given his physical state at birth, is his death date pre-ordained? If he had been born with an infantilized body of a 20-year old, could he have been assured of only having two decades to live? Is he impervious to harm? Indeed, he somehow manages to survive being stepped on as a newborn, and later, is one of the few survivors of a German submarine attack on an outclassed tugboat during World War II.
Benjamin is adopted by Queenie (Taraji P. Henson), an unfortunately stereotypical African American character, and spends his youth and old age (and vice versa!) at the nursing home she manages. There, he meets his one true love Daisy, the niece of one of the tenants. Benjamin's curious condition prevents him from having any kind of normal friendship or relationship with her, so he leaves home to find his way in the world. He has his first serious relationship with Elizabeth Abbott (Tilda Swinton), an older woman who thinks she's younger than him (later, we learn that meeting him helped her change her life). Eventually, Benjamin and Daisy do meet at roughly the same physical age and consummate their mutual love. When Daisy quite rightly asks Benjamin if he will still love her when she's old and wrinkly, he jokingly turns it around and asks if she will still love him when he has acne. But what first amuses eventually comes back around to become one of the most painfully emotional sequences in the whole movie: Benjamin does after all regress into senility (or perhaps even Alzheimer's, before it was identified), trapped in the body of a pimply teenager. As always, the point is that the bell curve of a human life can be seen as a mirror image of itself: here, the impetuousness, aggression, and mood swings of senility are equated with the tumult of adolescence. Likewise, extreme youth and old age both are characterized as the ultimate states of dependence and vulnerability.
Tilda Swinton as Benjamin's first lover, an older woman whom he allows to believe is younger
The special effects that allow an aged version of Pitt's face to be superimposed over another, diminutive actor are light years in advance of the still-creepy digital rotoscoping animation style used in Robert Zemeckis' The Polar Express and Beowulf (although the latter is an excellent film in spite of the ineffective effects). But no matter how eerily fluid and seamless the effects, I could not shake the feeling that I was watching something largely actualized by animators equipped with a giant computer server farm. These obviously cutting edge techniques are more comprehensible to me than whatever the makeup and/or CG wizards did to make 44-year-old Pitt and the 39 Blanchett appear to be in their smooth-skinned and limber-limbed 20s. Also, it must be said that an artificially aged Pitt in his hypothetical 50s and 60s is a dead ringer for Robert Redford.
There must be something in the bottled water filmmakers have been drinking recently, for I've noticed a decided trend towards movies about aging recently. Sarah Polley's Away From Her and Tamara Jenkin's The Savages both look at the senility than often comes at the end of life, and how it may affect the lives of those still living, for better or for worse. But another pair of movies dealt with mortality and the fear of unfinished business through the lens of fantasy: Francis Ford Coppola's Youth Without Youth and Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York. All of these movies tap into most people's fear of aging: not only of losing physical health and thus independence, but also of the reliability of one's own mind.

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the second worst Indiana Jones
No Comments on Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the second worst Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is ultimately disappointing, especially if one reflects too much on its plot and basic plausibility, but it has some to commend it. It is also far from the worst entry in the franchise (that would be Temple of Doom – blech! stay tuned for our forthcoming teardown of that stinky turd), which admittedly isn't saying much.
The basic concept (reportedly conceived by producer George Lucas and viewed askance at by director Steven Spielberg and star Harrison Ford) is sound. The original trilogy was set in the 1930s, and as such the first and third films mostly concerned Indy battling the Ratzis. So, whom better for an older Indiana Jones to face off against in the 1950s than Commies and UFOs? No really, sounds like fun to me! Unfortunately, the end result is muddled with bits of business about El Dorado, and saddled with a disappointingly conservative tsk-tsk disapproval of the rascally Indy's wayward ways with women. But perhaps the focus on marriage and the restoration of a broken nuclear family was also a conscious allusion to the conformist 1950s?
Vee haff vays of making you talk
Cate Blanchett is far and away the best thing in it, but then again, she usually is. Rocking a severe bob and outrageous accent (the subject of Indy's best gag: "Well, judging by the way you're swallowing your wubbleyous, I'm guessing Russian"), Blanchett can take a line as boring as "Take the thing and put it in the car" (I'm paraphrasing) and steal the scene with it. However, this blogger is puzzled by the ubiquity of sudden A-lister Shia LeBeouf. He is not especially handsome, funny, charismatic, or even a skilled action performer. But Stephen Spielberg seems to have a man-crush on him, so here he is. Let's hope saner heads prevail and don't make him the star of future sequels. There can only be one Young Indiana Jones; we miss you, River Phoenix. It's a treat to have Karen Allen back at last. Unfortunately, there's no John Rhys-Davies or Sean Connery to be had, but in a pinch, Ray Winstone will do fine.
Of course modern action movies get compared to video games all the time (often derisively, mostly deservingly), but The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is one of the most overt offenders I've seen yet. Sequences like the one in which the gang must solve puzzles like racing down a spiral staircase as the steps retract and the ground falls away will no doubt translate more or less intact into the film's official game.
The biggest classic Indy theme missing from Skull is that of religion. In the first film, Indy tracked down the honest-to-Moses Ark of the Convenant. The MacGuffin of the second film was a set of Hindu (well, a derogatorily fictionalized version thereof) sacred stones. The third installment went back to the franchise's Judeo-Christian roots and had Indy pursue none other than The Holy Grail. Indy sometimes dismisses religious traditions as myth, but usually doesn't have any trouble accepting that the 10 Commandment tablets and the Grail are anything less than actual objects. There are no mere metaphors for Indiana Jones!
You never introduced me to your father!
In keeping with the religious overtones, all three parts of the original trilogy end in psychedelic freakouts: witness an empty Ark explode Nazi heads, sacred stones magically relieve a village's famine, and a Grail cause an earthquake. So as much as I may have hated Skull's mystifying, CGI-drenched finale in which a bunch of alien corpses become one living being that does something glowy to Irina Spalko and launches his spaceship off into another dimension (all of which is like an unholy love child of the X-Files feature film Fight the Future and Spielberg's own A.I.: Artificial Intelligence), it is actually in keeping with the endings of the original three films (even the "good one," of course, Raiders). If you don't believe me, go back and watch them again.

Todd Haynes deconstructs Bob Dylan in I'm Not There
No Comments on Todd Haynes deconstructs Bob Dylan in I'm Not There
I always find it interesting to ponder my preconceived notions of a movie after I've actually seen it. The marketing and buzz on I'm Not There mostly centered on two talking points: the quirky device of multiple actors all playing incarnations of Bob Dylan, and Cate Blanchett being just plain amazing as usual (what else is new?). The first point is what gave me pause: how much sense would this film make to someone who is not a Dylan fan and scholar?
All I really know about Dylan comes from the Martin Scorsese documentary No Direction Home, and even that paints a sketchy picture of the man. Dylan has been an enigma throughout his long history in the public eye, often speaking in riddles, and (at least in his early years) inventing a fictional backstory. The press and even his own paying audiences were often openly antagonistic, so it's no wonder he was so famously combative and evasive. Prefiguring the modern-day chameleons David Bowie and Madonna, Dylan presented a series of personas: American roots folkie, political agitator, rock 'n' roller, born-again Christian, Hollywood actor, and so on. The question being: how much of this evolution was sincere growth and change, and how much was performance art? Who is "Bob Dylan"?
An Oscar nomination's a-gonna fall
Director and co-screenwriter Todd Haynes, having already deconstructed David Bowie in Velvet Goldmine, tackles the many aspects of Dylan perhaps the only way possible: fracture his key facets into multiple characters. As with the Bowie analogue Brian Slade in Velvet Goldmine, none of the Dylan figures are actually named Dylan, but then again neither is Dylan himself, whose actual surname is Zimmerman. Christian Bale plays Jack Rollins, interpreting Dylan's Christian period, and Richard Gere plays Billy the Kid, a pretty literal interpretation of Dylan's years in the wilderness after his fame peaked for the first time. Adding an extra layer of postmodern complexity, the late Heath Ledger plays Robbie Clark, a film actor famous for playing one of the fictional Dylans in a biopic. And of course, Cate Blanchett is amazing. As Jude Quinn, a reluctant celebrity fending off the attacks of the press, she triumphs by avoiding mere impression. Sure, she's wearing a fright wig and shades, but her expressions and body language capture Dylan's paradoxically wordy elusiveness.
The result is part faux documentary, part fiction, but provides a truer overall picture of Dylan's complicated character than a mere biopic ever could. Perhaps at some point after his death (may that be a long time from now), we will see a conventional musical biopic made of his life story (a la Bird, Ray, or Walk the Line), but I certainly hope critics and audiences will remember I'm Not There.
Hey mr. guitar man
The DVD edition is the only I can think of that incorporates long on-screen text introductions (more than one, in fact). Does this reflect a lack of confidence on the part of the filmmakers or distributors in the home viewers being able to comprehend the film, or is it more in the vein of the scholarly introductions that preface Penguin Classics volumes? Either way, it only reinforces the impression that you have to be a Dylan scholar to appreciate the film (which, incidentally, turned out to not be the case).
And finally, I detected a few references to director Richard Lester: Robbie Clark (Ledger) walks through the set of the 1968 film Petulia, during an early scene in which women in neck braces leave a freight elevator before a party to promote highway safety (attended by the likes of George C. Scott, Julie Christie, and the Grateful Dead, so it's not at all unlikely Dylan could have been there too). But even better is the best Beatles tribute I've ever seen: the Fab Four breeze through as the epitome of carefree fun, literally speaking and moving in fast-motion. They tempt Jude Quinn's (Blanchett) desire to escape, until they are chased away by A Hard Day's Night's screaming sycophants.

Cate is great in Elizabeth: The Golden Age
No Comments on Cate is great in Elizabeth: The Golden Age
I'll have to gang up with the general critical consensus around Elizabeth: The Golden Age, best summed up as: Cate Blanchett is astounding, as usual (yawn – the Academy Award nomination was virtually assured before the cameras rolled), but the movie is a disappointing sequel to a powerful original.
Oh, and did I mention that Cate is great? Oh yeah, you don't need me to say that.
The cinematography is lovely but the editing a little choppy for a timeline that spans so much time. The staging is somewhat less than epic; even large CG set pieces like the Pirates of the Caribbean-style sea battle between the English and Spanish armadas seem under-staffed by background actors. A typical line of dialog, quoting from memory, is the dashing Sir Walter Raleigh (Clive Owen) killing two cliches with one stone with a humdinger like "We're only human; we do what we can."
Erm, that's about it. I'll try to think of something smarter to say about the next one.

We've tabulated the results for My Yard Our Message and the 50 winning signs are posted. The wisdom of crowds looks like it has paid off, too: the winning designs really are the cream of the crop. The top vote-getter is "peace," by teri_kwant, with 130 people saying they would put the sign in their yard. If anyone wants to share the entire set of winning signs on another site, I've set up a simple widget, as seen below.
One cool feature in the project is the neighborhood aspect. We're seeding three neighborhoods with sets of winning signs. Lindsey Stern has more details about this in the Walker's ECP blog. To facilitate the community gallery aspect of the project, we've set up a signs map that we hope everyone who has a sign will use to let us know where it is. There aren't many signs yet, but eventually there will be. To manage having many signs on the map, we're using a handy google map plugin called Cluster Marker. This allows the map to automatically set the correct zoom level to see all the signs, but hide signs that would otherwise be too close together at a high zoom level. Every time I work with google maps, I am please with how robust and thought-out the map api is. It will be exciting to see the map flesh out as people add signs to their yards.

Q: How to convert CBCharacteristic.value to NSString in Objective C I have been unable to convert CBCharacteristic's value property which is of type NSData to NSString. I tried the usual initWithData:encoding: method of NSString as given below. But it returns nil.
NSString *str = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:characteristic.value encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@", str);

I am able to see the string value on console when I do NSLog on value directly.
NSLog(@"characteristic.value: %@", characteristic.value);

Can aanybody give any idea on how to get the string value out of characteristic.value?

A: *

*You need to know what means the NSData. Could be a String, struct, uint32, etc. See here: core-bluetooth-get-all-features-description

*Is BLevel for battery level? You need to do reverse engineering or read the doc (BLE doc if it's a "known" one, or device doc)

Who is Paul Halloran hockey? A junior hockey player from Massachusetts is banned from his league for life for punching a referee in the face during a game against a Pennsylvania team. The United States Premier Hockey League player was identified by Yahoo Sports as Paul Halloran, 20, of the South Shore Kings, of Foxborough in Norfolk County.
Can you fight in the USPHL? ALL Divisions: There is a strict NO Fighting Policy; All fighting ma- jors will have additional games added for repeat offenders, in addition to the rulebook mandatory game suspension. Strictly Enforced -There will be supplemental discipline on all helmets removed during an altercation.
Is dropping your gloves a penalty? A minor penalty shall be assessed to any player who drops his stick and/or removes his glove(s) during an altercation and is not a participant in the original altercation .
At what age is fighting allowed in hockey? The N.C.A.A. knows it: in college games, the penalties for fighting are severe, and enforced. But youth hockey has so far followed the lead of the National Hockey League and allowed — even tacitly encouraged — fighting in some youth leagues for players from 16 to 20.
Rules of the NHL, the North American junior leagues, and other North American professional minor leagues punish fighting with a five-minute major penalty.
The opposing player may then be assessed a Match penalty if he fights back or continues the altercation, a Minor penalty for roughing or no penalty at all, depending on the circumstances. The NAHL suspension for Fighting is 5 games.
The numbers support the argument that the USPHL is a better path to Tier II than the NA3HL. Both leagues reported numbers simply support that conclusion and can not be disputed. The numbers would also support that AAA, High School, and Prep School are clearly the best routes to Tier II.
The Junior Hockey News Ranks USPHL Premier No. 1 Among Tier III North American Leagues; USPHL Elite No.
The USHL is the only Tier I junior hockey league in the United States while the NAHL is the only Tier II junior league in the U.S. The NA3HL is the only Tier III junior hockey league.
Over the course of the last six seasons, 1,500+ NAHL players have made NCAA commitments and 32 have been drafted into the NHL. All NAHL hockey teams are privately owned and operate as a business similar in structure and business operations as those involving professional hockey teams.
average NCAA student-athletes graduate at a higher rate than the general student body. Do many NCAA student-athletes go on to play professionally? Fewer than 2 percent of NCAA student-athletes go on to be professional athletes.
As the only USA Hockey-sanctioned Tier II Junior league, players do not pay to play in the NAHL. What is a tender? A tender is a contract, of sorts, a player signs announcing his intentions to play for that particular NAHL team and that NAHL team only.
Those are the facts. Continuing with the facts, the NAHL charges "League Fee's" in the vicinity of $30,000 per team. The NCDC will charge "League Fee's" lower than $20,000 per team. Some Canadian Junior Hockey "League Fee's" are in the vicinity of $60,000 per team.
As of the 2021-2022 NHL season and according to the NHL's collective bargaining agreement with its players, the lowest paid NHL players make $750,000 a year. This is up from $700,000 during the 2020-2021 season and will increase to $775,000 during the 2023-2024 season.
Mikyla Grant-Mentis signed a record-breaking deal Monday that makes her the highest-paid professional women's hockey player in history. The one-year contract with the Buffalo Beauts of the Premier Hockey Federation will see Grant-Mentis earn $80,000 for the upcoming season.
Top Overseas Leagues
Russia's Kontinental League is so highly regarded that it often draws former NHL players to its ranks because of the top competition and attractive pay. KHL teams have paid star players between $1 million and $5.5 million, as of 2016.
Connor McDavid is the highest-paid ice hockey center in the NHL, with a salary of $16 million.

Kevin Durant (NBA), $92.1 million.
Roger Federer (tennis), $90.7 million.

Most team squad players we have spoken to want to maintain the wearing of a squad uniform. Consequently, priority for team selection will be given to those golfers who support the seniors' squad uniform.
We are further delighted to announce that the seniors section has a new sponsor for the supply of team squad polo shirts. "The Tech Team" is our new sponsor, they provide Computer Support for the over 50's". Quite an appropriate sponsor - you might agree?
As a result of this new sponsorship the committee have revisited the Team Squad Uniform policy, we introduced a couple of years ago so the policy is now as follows.
To maintain consistency, and in fairness to those 40 seniors who have already purchased the 'team squad sweater', priority in selection for team matches will continue to go to those seniors who own the appropriate sweater.
John McKenna stocks the necessary black TGC sweaters (Greg Norman range) and for those new team squad players. One off discount is still available for sweaters this season only.
White team squad polo shirt.
With the new sponsorship and with a further financial subsidy from the senior's section, we are able to offer to our team squad players a great offer.
Accepting that there will always be a diversity of opinions as to the criteria that should influence selection; the intention is to select the strongest teams available for these fixtures.
The intention is to enable as many members as possible, who wish to play in these fixtures, to represent the seniors' section.
Welcome to the 2019 season, I trust that your most fanciful and imaginative ambitions are realized, and that you experience an enjoyable and successful season. I look forward to making your acquaintance both on the course and in the bar.


Early season hunters should know how to quickly get the animal out of the woods and where to take the meat so it can cool and age.
On August 1, all hunters can buy nonresident deer and elk tags as second tags for an additional hunting opportunity this fall. Tags are sold at the full nonresident price of $301.75 for deer and $416.75 for elk.
Fish and Game administration bureau chief Michael Pearson said that at current sales rate, nonresident deer tags and elk tags could be sold out quickly.
Fish and Game keeps a tally of the tags on the license, tags and permits webpage.
Friday, August 10 is the last day to enter the second Super Hunt drawing in 2018 and a chance at winning the hunt of a lifetime.
Tags for two elk, two deer, two pronghorn hunts and one moose hunt will be drawn, as well as a "Super Hunt Combo" that will entitle the winner to hunt for all four species - elk, deer, pronghorn and moose.
F&G Commissioners agreed to set November as a deadline to decide the fate of the coveted Sawtooth Elk Zone tags. The popular tags have been available on a limited, first-come, first-served basis for many years, which has created high demand at license vendors and online sales. Sawtooth tags have sold out in minutes, which left many hunters empty handed and disappointed.
Commissioners are considering continuing the status quo, converting the Sawtooth Zone to controlled hunts, or a combination of the two.
Resident hunters wanting to purchase a general season elk tag in a capped zone will need to keep two dates in mind in July.
On Tuesday, July 10, all resident capped elk zone tags, except for the Sawtooth Zone, go on sale at 10 a.m. (MDT) at Fish and Game offices, license vendors, with a credit card at Fish and Game's online vendor, or by calling (800) 554-8685.
The Idaho Fish and Game Commission is considering two options for the 2019 hunting season in the Sawtooth Elk Zone, and hunters can take a brief survey to show their preferences. Deadline to comment is July 2.
The elk population within the Sawtooth Elk Zone (Units 33, 34, 35, and 36) has increased in recent years, but remains below Fish and Game's elk management plan objectives. The cap on A and B tags remains in place to limit hunter participation and harvest.
Hunters have until midnight Monday, June 5 to apply for this fall's deer, elk, pronghorn, black bear and turkey controlled hunts.
Sawtooth elk zone tags for nonresidents go on sale today May 10 at 10 am MDT.
CWD is a neurologic disorder that causes the brain to degenerate and develop cavities becoming sponge like in appearance. It is caused by abnormally folded proteins called prions. CWD is contagious between animals by either direct or indirect contact with infected animals or their habitat. CWD is not believed to be contagious to people.
Where Is The Disease Found?
CWD has been documented in numerous states in the US, several Canadian provinces (Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta), South Korea, Norway and Finland in a variety of cervid species. It has been found in both captive and wild cervids. The current distribution of CWD in North America can be found in various links provided here. To date, there is no evidence that CWD is present in free-ranging deer or elk in Idaho.
Animals infected with CWD are typically thin and show neurologic signs. The most common sign of CWD is lack of feeding, increased drinking and excessive salvation and urination. Behavioral signs include loss of fear of humans and loss of awareness of their surroundings.The most common signs of CWD in live cervids are emaciation and neurological signs. There are no typical lesions seen in animals that die of CWD but consistent signs include poor body condition and aspiration pneumonia.
The bacteria that are commonly associated with abscesses are common in the environment. A variety of bacteria are associated with abscesses in deer and elk including Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis Trueperella pyogenes, Pseudomonas spp., Streptococcus spp. and Staphylococcus spp.. Most abscesses are found in lymph nodes and internal organs and contain thick, greenish yellow or white purulent material.
Abscesses occur commonly in many species of wildlife across North America. Abscesses of many origins in many wildlife species have been documented in Idaho.
Abscesses are typically characterized by variable sized pockets of pus which can be located anywhere on the body, usually under the skin or in skeletal muscles. In mammals, abscesses do not typically cause illness because the abscess is usually localized. Abscesses that spread along the muscle layers, or into various organs may cause pathological conditions that can be detrimental to the animal's health. In birds, abscesses usually form enlarged spherical areas that may hinder movement or feeding ability. In raptors, the feet are often involved (bumblefoot) and the enlarged areas can result in an inability to stand and to capture prey.
Brucellosis in elk, bison, and cattle is caused by Brucella abortus. There are a variety of other Brucella species can affect sheep (B. ovis), goats (B. melitensis), pigs, caribou and reindeer (B. suis), dogs (B. canis), and several species of marine mammals.
Brucellosis is found worldwide in livestock, but most countries have control or eradication programs to control or eliminate the disease. Brucellosis has largely been eliminated from domestic livestock in North America. A reservoir of brucellosis occurs in elk and bison in the Greater Yellowstone Area which includes eastern Idaho. Because wild ungulates and cattle share range, disease transmission to domestic cattle is of great concern.
There are no obvious signs of brucellosis in infected animals. Abortions can occur in the middle trimester of pregnancy. Elk infected with brucellosis may abort between January and June. There are no typical outward signs of Brucellosis in most animals. Males that are infected with brucellosis may have swollen testicles or swollen joints. In chronic infections can lead to infertility in both males and females..
Carotid Artery Worm is caused by a parasitic nematode (Elaeophora schneideri) found in white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk and moose.
Carotid artery worms are widely distributed in the western United States, several southeastern states, and areas of Canada. The parasite has been documented in many parts of Idaho in mule deer, moose and elk..
Carotid artery worms are native parasites of mule deer, but have been found in white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk and moose. Most animals show no signs of sickness. However, some animals can exhibit signs including malformed antlers, blindness, muzzle or ear necrosis (destruction), and oral impactions which are caused by the worms restricting blood flow through arteries.
Giant liver flukes (Fascioloides magna), also known as the American liver fluke or deer fluke, are flatworms are important parasites of deer, elk and moose in North America. The flukes are a normal parasite in white-tailed deer and occasionally elk.
Giant liver flukes are found in mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, and moose in many parts of North America. Giant liver flukes have been documented sporadically in a few mule deer, elk and moose in Idaho.
Animals infected with giant liver flukes generally appear healthy unless large numbers of flukes are present. With large numbers of flukes, generally the liver function is compromised leading to animals in poor body condition. In definitive hosts, flukes are found in yellowish-white fibrous cysts that 1-2 inches across that contain pairs of flukes. A reddish brown liquid is found inside the cysts with the flukes. In animals that are not definitive hosts for giant liver flukes, the flukes can cause significant liver damage and ill thrift or death in severely affected individuals. The flukes continue to migrate in the liver creating numerous tracts and extensive liver damage that can lead to fibrosis and liver failure.
Hydatids are the immature form of a tapeworm called Echinococcus granulosus. Echinococcus granulosus is a very small (3-5 m) tapeworm that requires two different animal species, a canid and an ungulate, to complete its lifecycle.
Hydatid disease is found around the world including North America where it exists in two forms – a domestic form involving domestic dogs and domestic sheep and a sylvatic form involving wolves or coyotes and ungulates. The most common form of E. granulosus is found in domestic dogs and sheep, and is found worldwide, including the western USA. The form in domestic dogs and domestic sheep is the most common source of the disease in humans. There are numerous strains of E .granulosus worldwide that occur in various host species systems e. g. wolves and wild ungulates in temperate North America, dingos and kangaroos in Australia, and jackels and domestic cattle in Africa. Hydatid cysts have been found in cattle and domestic sheep, deer, elk,. moose and mountain goats in Idaho. Adult tapeworms have been found in wolves and coyotes in Idaho.
The adult tapeworm occurs in the intestines of wolves, coyotes and foxes but they are generally asymptomatic. The larval form or hydatid cyst occurs in moose, elk and deer, and can occur in humans. In moose, deer, and elk, the cysts have thick walls and are filled with a clear watery liquid. The cysts are usually found in the lungs but can also occur in the liver or other organs. Cysts can vary in size from ¾ to 4 inches in diameter and contain hundreds of juvenile tapeworms. The presence of hydatids in herbivores usually does not cause clinical signs unless the cyst obstructs normal body function. If cysts rupture, illness can be severe.
Meningeal worm is a nematode parasite, Parelaphostrongylus tenuis.
Meningeal worm is found throughout eastern North America but is usually restricted to east of the 100th meridian. Meningeal worm has not been documented in Idaho.
In the normal host, white-tailed deer, and occasionally elk, the parasite causes no clinical disease. In most elk and other ruminants (domestic sheep and goats, mule deer, moose, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats), the abnormal migration of the L3 causes paresis of the limbs that can lead to paralysis and death.
The most common pathogens in bighorn sheep are respiratory bacteria Pasteurella haemolytica or Pasteurella multocida, and Mycoplasma ovipneumonia but respiratory viruses like Infectious Bovine Rhinovirus, Parainfluenza virus, Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or parasites like lungworms can contribute to pneumonia in bighorns. There is evidence in captive and free-ranging bighorn sheep that transmission can occur after contact with domestic sheep or goats. Other species of ruminants can develop pneumonia from Pasteurellacae and other bacteria including Arcanobacter spp., Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, and Trueprella pyogenes as well as a variety of respiratory viruses. Lungworms can also be associated with pneumonia.
Generally, pneumonia is a problem in bighorn sheep and to a lesser extent in deer and elk. Pneumonia in bighorn sheep has been found throughout North America. In Idaho, pneumonia in bighorns has been found in all areas where bighorn sheep exist. Isolated cases of pneumonia have been documented in mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, moose, pronghorn and mountain goats in Idaho.
Clinical signs of pneumonia in ruminants include coughing, shortness of breath, and a weakened condition. Generally, animals with pneumonia will have discolored lungs possibly with adhesions to the rib cage or abscesses. In trials of captive bighorn sheep that are inoculated with Pasteurellaceae bacteria, survival is generally less than 2-3 days. Depending on the bacterial pathogen present, the nutritional and immune status of the individual, and other factors, affects range from chronic pneumonia in adult females, summer lamb mortality events and ill thrift to rapid whole herd mortality events . Often the mortality events are found by hunters or during herd surveys when carcasses or skeletons are found. Similar signs of disease occur in other ruminants affected by pneumonia but pneumonia in other species of ruminants tends to occur in single individuals rather than on a herd basis.
Several species of tapeworm produce cystercerci in the intermediate host. The most common in cervids is Taenia hydatigena, but other species including T. pissiformis and T. krabbei.
Tapeworm cystercerci are found in appropriate ruminant hosts across most of North America. They are commonly reported in ungulates in Idaho.
Cystercerci are usually small bladders, approximately 0.5-2 cm in diameter, containing fluid and a single larval tapeworm. The location of the cystercerci depends on the tapeworm species and the host species. Taenia hydatigena and T. pissiformis typically form cystercerci in the mesenteries or the liver. Taenia krabbei typically forms cystercerci in the skeletal muscle. There also may be white, star-like scars on the surface of the liver from the migration of larval tapeworms. Carnivores like wolves, coyotes and foxes are the definitive host of the adult tapeworms and usually appear healthy even though they may be infected with large numbers of tapeworms.
Treponema Associated Hoof Disease (TAHD) in elk is associated with a spirochete bacterium, Treponema spp.
TAHD in elk is a relatively new condition in elk. Elk with hoof problems were first recognized in southwestern Washington in about 2000 with a dramatic increase in the number of affected animals reported in 2008. Since 2008, extensive surveillance by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has confirmed TAHD in elk in 14 counties in western Washington with scattered but unconfirmed cases in eastern Washington. TAHD was found in elk in Oregon in 2014 in an initial cluster in northwest Oregon. Since then, confirmed cases have been found in several areas of western Oregon with scattered unconfirmed cases in eastern Oregon. In December 2018, an adult female elk killed by a hunter near White Bird, Idaho in GMU 14 was found to have obvious foot abnormalities. The lower leg was submitted for diagnostic testing and TAHD was confirmed in this animal.
Animals affected by TAHD may be deficient in trace minerals like copper and/or selenium. The disease affects males and females of all age cohorts. Affected elk of all ages are lame with various degrees of deformed to elongated hooves, or with broken or missing hooves.
Winter ticks are a one-host tick of ungulates. Large numbers of ticks can cause anemia due to blood loss, hair loss due to excessive grooming, and poor body condition due to inadequate food intake.
Winter ticks are present in nearly all areas of ungulate distribution in North America except for Alaska. Winter ticks have been identified in most ungulate species in Idaho.
Winter ticks are usually not seen on animals in the larval or nymphal stages as these are relatively small. The adult males and females are the same size as typical wood ticks. The engorged adult females can be 1-2 cm in diameter. Moose, elk and deer with large numbers of winter ticks often lose significant amounts of hair, especially in late winter. Some of these animals may be lethargic and appear weak from loss of blood, hypothermia and inadequate nutrition.


The two contacts to the camera are W101 and W102 - the golden-plated PCB pads mate with the spring contacts when the bayonet adapter is attached to the camera. W102 is grounded and W101 is driven by two MOSFET switches in the camera. Normally the high side switch connects to +12VDC providing power to the adapter. To transmit the data to adapter the high side switch is disconnected and the low side connects W101 to ground through a 1K resistor. The voltage on W101 will drop to zero, it will be detected by Q1 and transferred to port PA7 of the microcontroller U1. Adapter also can transfer data - when the high side switch in the camera is open, and low side - closed, signal on port PB6 opens both transistors QN1 and voltage on W101 goes up.

Fit-2-Serve
Fit-2-Serve is local, grass-roots, not-for-profit organization. Our mission is to 'equip people for works of service'; our vision is to be a catalyst in creating a stronger, collaborative community through relational restoration. Community Bridges is longitudinal programming offered to local elementary schools and completely volunteer supported. We honor the time donated by our volunteers, and do our best to make it a truly unique experience where they are encouraged to lead with their talents and skills.
Fit-2-Serve maintains several community gardens in Mattoon. In season, we recruit volunteers to assist in all things gardening…from spring planting to fall harvest. Beginning in June, we host "A Day in the Garden" each Saturday from 9 to 11am.
In partnership with the Mattoon Family YMCA, summer campers come to the garden for first hand experience in gardening practices. Several local restaurants partner with Fit-2-Serve to purchase produce. In addition, we participate in several local Farmers Markets promoting the benefits of fresh and locally grown produce by providing recipes and instructions on how to prepare and use fresh vegetables and fruits.
Volunteers can "drop – in" or schedule a "day at the garden" as a student group or class. Fit-2-Serve is also open to having college students serve as interns to support our mission to equip people for works of service.

5 Mile House
Five Mile House Historic site is the oldest house in Coles County! Built sometime in the 1840s (no records exist to prove its actual date), it was slated to be demolished for a gas station site. A group of concerned citizens banded together in 1998 to purchase and renovate it.
It is now a thriving 501 c 3 charitable organization. Every other Sunday afternoon during the summer and fall, free music and historical programs are put on by local groups and speakers.
Our latest major project, still in progress, is the deconstruction and reconstruction of an 1880s barn on a corner of the 5 Mile House site. We enjoyed the ambiance of its shelter for the summer programs. When the forge is completed, it will serve as a blacksmith and carpenter shop, historical display and a community gathering space.
Another current project is establishing a Butterfly Garden on the corner of our lot. So far we have tilled and applied herbicide to the area to make way for the butterfly-friendly plants. Members of the Urban Butterfly Initiative graciously mulched a border around the perimeter to deter grass invasion and provide paths to stroll through the garden. Later in the fall we will install live plants donated by the Douglas Hart Nature Center and in November, scatter seed of butterfly-attracting plants and cover them with straw for the winter.
In the spring, 200 4th graders from Jefferson School are bussed out to the site (spread out over 2 days) to hear about the life of soldiers in the Civil War from reenactors in uniform, learn about the importance of spinning and weaving in the 1800s, play 1800s games and dance an 1800s line dance, and help mix up a batch of "johnnycake" that they see cooking over an open fire, then taste the finished product.
Our major fundraiser in the summer is a BBQ and Bingo with a silent auction. The final event for the year the first Sunday in October is a Fall Festival, a gala happening with music, a magician, blacksmithing, artisans, cider pressing, petting zoo, children's activities, hands-on pioneer kitchen demonstrations and more.
Volunteers are welcome to help:
* maintain the butterfly garden
* Fall festival (first Sunday in October): set up and tear down, assist with the children doing pioneer crafts, or demonstrate pioneer food preservation
* supervise the pioneer games during the 4th grade visit (first week in May)
* provide light maintenance at the site, such as picking up sticks in the yard, small painting touchups, spreading mulch, weeding the herb beds
During the BBQ and bingo fundraiser, we need helping hands for: collecting money from the bingo players and working in the kitchen – serving food, refilling desserts, refilling drinks, cleaning up afterward.

Namaste Doesn't Really Mean What You Think
Laura Finch on November 8, 2019
I'd been doing yoga for a few years already before coming to India and taking private yoga classes in Rishikesh (read about my experience here). I've practiced different yoga styles, changed quite a lot of yoga teachers and studios in different countries. Every single time the yoga class concluded with a group Namaste.
So I felt like a complete idiot when my yoga instructor in India met my closing Namaste with a smile. Though non-judgemental, it made me realize that maybe this is not the exact context in which the word is used.
What Is The Meaning Of Namaste
The Use Of Namaste In The West Vs. India
To Namaste Or Not To Namaste
If you ever enquired about the meaning of the word Namaste, you probably didn't fall short of the explanations. The Internet is bustling with information about the significance of Namaste and how to apply "namaste philosophy" to your life.
The word Namaste originates from Sanskrit – the ancient language of India and is pronounced as num-us-teh [nəməsteː]. The commonly heard pronunciation nah-mah-stay is actually a westernized version of the word (I suppose that's the pronunciation that gave rise to a widely popular pun Namast'ay In Bed a few years ago). It is not inherently wrong, but if we want to honor the ancient roots of the yoga practice, we may as well honor the original pronunciation.
In Sanskrit, namas stands for paying obeisance or bow and te means you. The literal translation is more than straightforward - I bow to you.
Namaste is typically spoken when slightly bowing and making a hand gesture called Añjali Mudrā. The palms are pressed together with thumbs touching the chest and fingers pointing upwards. This gesture symbolizes the opening of the heart and manifests our link to the divinity, a holy spark within each of us. Because of this, we also have more extensive English translations of Namaste such as the light in me honors the light in you, or the divine in me recognizes the divine in you.
In the Western world, I often meet people (hell, I was one of them!) who utter Namaste with some sacred tremble. We are taught the word and gesture are a part of the ancient yogic heritage and put some spiritual significance into it, which goes far beyond thanking or paying respect to your yoga teacher.
Ending a yoga class with Namaste feels like we all together are sharing a great common secret and revelation about the world. The secret that teaches us to be better people.
Such as - we all have a divine flame in us, we are all interconnected and most importantly, equal.
So it may come as a shock to some to find out that Namaste in the country of its origin is used in a daily conversation and means... well, just Namaste – a polite way of greeting someone like hello. It can be interchanged with the less known word Namaskar, which also expresses salutation and is used as a greeting.
My Indian yoga teacher Maneesh explained that the notion of respect is deeply rooted in Hindu culture.
"Ancient scriptures emphasize the practice of showing equal respect and hospitality to everyone: be it the elders, family members or strangers you may have just met in the street," says Maneesh.
"Greeting a person with Namaste and a bowing gesture is a way of honoring them and letting an individual know they're welcome here. But I can't think of any connection Namaste has with yoga practice," Maneesh courteously explained his smile after me embarrassingly namaste-ing him at the end of the class.
Indian-born writer Deepak Singh also doesn't seem to share the spiritual significance of Namaste with the yogis from the West, as he told in this story for NPR.
Neither do many Indians online, as I found later on forums such as Reddit and Quora.
Simply speaking, Western society did with Namaste the same thing it did with Indian food: took a general idea and adjusted it to its own taste. In the case of Namaste – changed the pragmatics of the word.
Who started it and why we keep saying Namaste when concluding a yoga class? That question remains to be answered. But it surely isn't the essential part of the yoga practice. Just as it's not brought to the West from India.
Now, this part is totally up to you.
What I encourage you to do is to ask yourself why exactly you're saying Namaste in yoga. Because everyone else does? Because you were taught this way? Or because you put special meaning into it?
Yoga is a powerful personal tool for development. So if you feel like it, there's nothing wrong with bowing your head and thanking your teacher with Namaste at the end of the class.
Going around the city greeting people with Namaste (as this article suggests) might not be such a good idea. But if you do want to send love and light out into the world, small actions such as getting rid of the 'mean girl mentality' (the term borrowed from here) in yoga environment, being kind and accepting, and not being a jerk to others can go a long way.
The idea behind the word Namaste is truly beautiful and charming. We do need more compassion and willingness to relate to other people these days. If saying Namaste reminds you to be respectful, less toxic, and judgmental towards people around you, be it strangers on the internet or companions in your yoga studio, then please say it.
But if you're a yoga teacher closing the class with Namaste, please don't get offended if I don't respond back.

The 2012 Olympic Games have had a detrimental effect on airlines in Britain, with traffic at London Heathrow, Europe's busiest airport, being down 4.4 percent year-on-year in July.
Airports operator BAA, which owns five airports in the UK, said it suffered a 4.1 percent drop in passenger traffic in July as the London Olympics deterred business passengers and tourists from travelling.
The fall in passenger traffic included a drop of 4.4 percent at Heathrow to 6.6 million passengers as a particularly stark 6.6 percent drop in passengers on European flights to and from Heathrow was also reported.


Social media has become a very powerful tool today. It is used not only to get in touch with friends but also to establish an online presence and drive revenue up. When utilised correctly, social media can make a huge difference in your business. It is a fact that social media cannot be ignored, and companies that are thinking of doing so will be losing a lot in the end.
Social media is on 24 hours a day, 7 day a week. It does not sleep and people use it all the time, any time. It is important for a company to have a social media tool which allows them to schedule messages well in advance. This way, even if you are sleeping or having a meeting with clients, you will be able to update your customers and communicate with them.
Any social media management company will tell you that collaboration is necessary. Collaboration will allow you to develop and execute a campaign which is very effective. The tool you use should be able to allow your team to seamlessly collaborate with each other, as well as with other teams, to ensure proper execution of strategies and plans.
Social media today is used for more than just building a business around a service, product, or company. Several companies invest in social media, and they expect returns from their investments and need reports to show them exactly just how far they have come.
The tools used for social media should have the ability to analyse important metrics such as clicks by region, top referrers, and click-through rates. Google Analytics is one of the most popular tools used for this purpose today.
Keywords are also necessary in effective social media management. Set up keyword search streams that will provide you insight into what customers think is relevant. This will help you develop a marketing strategy which focuses on the preferences, and lifestyle of the customer. If you know what the customers want, you will be better able to give them a product or service which they will use and buy.
Keywords are also useful for being aware of what the competitor is doing so that you are always ahead of them. They can also help you track brands that are complementary to what you are currently offering. It is also helpful to keep an eye on the social media accounts of your competitors.
Without a doubt, social media has changed and influenced a lot of things. It is here to stay, and for businesses that want to gain a competitive advantage it is a valuable tool. There are various social media products out there that meet the needs of companies, and it is up to the companies to use them correctly to achieve their goals.

Heidi Klum & Tim Gunn's Shocking 'Project Runway' Exit — Why They Are Leaving!
On Friday, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn announced they are leaving their hit show "Project Runway" after 16 seasons.
"Most importantly, I am indebted to our incredible fans, they are the heart and soul of what we do, and continue to inspire us to raise the bar in this arena. I'm excited for them to see what's next, as I partner with Amazon and Heidi Klum on our next great 'fashion' adventure," he continued.
After their big announcements, Amazon head Jennifer Salke welcomed them with a statement of her own, saying, "Heidi Klum completely changed the television landscape by developing a competitive reality fashion series that was unproven and different from what was popular on-air. The show became wildly successful, and in turn Klum and Tim Gunn have become an iconic pop culture duo. Their drive to deliver fashionably entertaining, engaging and trendsetting content speaks for itself, and we believe their next iteration in this space will find an even larger audience on our global Prime Video runway."
On the same day she announced her departure, Heidi was spotted showing off her toned tummy while picking up coffee in NYC.

Q: Why the reference to an object in java is not modified when re-assigning the object? I have this piece of code, and I would like to know why the reference of my variable x is not modified ? It still points to the first object assigned:
public class HelloWorld{

 public static void main(String []args){
    Object x = new Object();
    Object y = x;
    mutate(x);
    System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(x.hashCode()));
    System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(y.hashCode()));
    System.out.println(x == x); // true
    System.out.println(x == y); // true
 }

 public static void mutate(Object x) {
     x = new String();
 }

Orange Romania introduces TV service with GlobeCast on Astra
By David Davies
Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - 05:03
GlobeCast and SES are providing services to Orange Romania for the launcg of a direct-to-home satellite TV package this month. The package will use multiple transponders on ASTRA's 31.5 degrees East orbital position and will be broadcast in the DVB-S2 and MPEG4 technical standards. GlobeCast will provide contribution, encryption and encoding for SD and HD channels in the package.
Orange Romania will launch the new TV package to complement its existing mobile service, enabling the company to offer full multi-device communication services to its customers. Orange Romania booked this service through GlobeCast, which is providing a complete solution to bring Orange Romania's channels to the point of uplink and prepare them for broadcast on capacity that GlobeCast has leased from SES.
"Our offices worldwide collaborated to ensure a full technical solution for GlobeCast's customer, Orange Romania, beginning with reception of the channels from Bucharest and ending with handoff to our partner SES for uplink to their powerful satellite," says Philippe Fort, chief operating officer of GlobeCast. "We are proud of the result and will continue to ensure excellent quality of service on the platform, leading to a high-quality experience for the viewer."
"Telecommunication operators increasingly invest in content distribution in order to complement their existing services," adds Ferdinand Kayser, chief commercial Officer of SES. "This agreement shows the growing importance of satellite as a technical infrastructure for linear television packages of telecommunication operators. In addition to its unrivalled technical reach, satellite offers a fixed cost structure that is not dependent on the number of households receiving a TV service. We are delighted that Orange Romania decided to launch its new service via ASTRA. This confirms the leading role that SES plays in central and Eastern Europe and shows that our orbital slot 31.5 degrees East is becoming a new hot spot in this region."


To provide rehabilitation and reintegration for homeless people with mental illness.
In many major cities within Nigeria, homeless people with mental illness suffer the most severe forms of poverty, often being without shelter, food, care and clothing. Moreover, they are also exposed to various forms of humans rights abuses such as physical and sexual abuse, restraint and extorted by fake healers who use them for begging on the streets1.
To achieve this, the programme used the concept of community support to develop a rehabilitation centre where people eat, work, play and worship together. Having a dedicated space for community support is an important component of this rehabilitation programme as the homeless people recruited had been abandoned by their families and society. The centre uses a holistic approach to rehabilitation including integrating medical, social, occupational and psychological services.
The programme has a structured process for reintegration of clients with their families after recovery. All clients receive vocational training prior to discharge, and are supported to pursue their chosen vocation in their home setting. When ready to go home (typically between 3 months and 6 months), they are taken for a brief visit to find their community and family. There is often need to rebuild these relationships. Following this visit, they then go on further short visits at home, addressing any reintegration issues, before final discharge, when the family is invited to the Centre for training on basic mental health issues and human rights which culminates in a discharge service.
"Without Amaudo and the psychiatric nurse that handled my case maybe I would be dead by now"
In Nigeria mental health care is very neglected. As in other sub-Saharan countries, less than 1% percent of total health budget is allocated to mental health2. Government mental health care is provided through the 8 special mental health hospitals located in big cities in the six geopolitical zones of the country, and a similar number of university teaching hospitals. This is grossly inadequate compared to national population of over 180 million people with over 20 million mentally ill people. There is also strong stigma and human rights abuse of mentally ill people in Nigeria, including their right to health1. This lack of mental health resources somewhat explains why there are so many people with mental illness in Nigeria who roam the streets without shelter, food, mental health care and always suffer other forms of human right abuse.
Rising to this urgent need, the rehabilitation program was set up to provide mental health care to homeless mentally ill people without any familial or social support within the African community setting. This has brought hope to some families with limited options for seeking mental health treatment would often abandon their relative or take them to prayer house where there is a risk of suffering human rights abuses and limited chances of recovery.
The programme tries to fill the gap in Nigerian mental health care through a community mental health service which provides local services to people with mental illness through 73 community mental health clinics located within four states of South East Nigeria. The clinics continue to provide services to those rehabilitated at the programme centre who have been discharged and reintegrated with their families. Several awareness projects are also carried out to educate community members on mental health issues and protecting the human rights of people with mental illness. The programme recently began a Free Mobile Community Mental Health Care and Awareness Project targeting economically disadvantaged rural dwellers that have mental health disorders but are unable to access mental health care. This helps to identify people who have mental health disorders in remote rural communities for mental health treatment as well as reduce the level of mental health stigma in the community.
Successful cooperation with local community for the establishment of a residential rehabilitation centre where community and clients receiving rehabilitation can interact without being stigmatized or denied their human rights. Community members do not fill threatened by the presence of people with mental illness in these settings.
Stigmatization and discrimination of people with mental health under rehabilitation at Amaudo by family and society. These result in poor care at home and high risk of relapse.
The community mental health programme started in Abia State in South East Nigeria in 1994 but it has been scaled up to cover 3 other states namely – Imo, Ebonyi and Anambra states in the same region. A Mental Health Awareness Programme was conducted through the programme in 2009 to 2013 to address issues of stigma and human rights abuse and to increase referral to community mental health programs.
The programme also provides mental health care experience for student nurses from various Universities and schools.
An external evaluator from Amaudo UK visits the programme yearly to assess the project implementation and impact.
Currently the programme is being evaluated by an external evaluator from City College New York, U.S., for impact evaluation, building collaboration, understanding programme strengths and weakness and for prospects of growth and improvement.
The programme has an annual budget of about 40,000,000 Nigeria Naira (equivalent to around GBP 80,000) while monthly costs for rehabilitation average approximately 12,000 Nigeria Naira per person (GBP 25).
Over the past 20 years, Amaudo has carried out various projects like Awareness Raising, training for psychiatric nurses and other government personnel which have totalled over GBP 1 million.
9 Service User Groups or Self Help Groups (SHG) have been formed comprising of previously mentally ill persons who have received treatment from the programme, are now in recovery and have reconnected with their care givers. These groups meet monthly for mutual support and advocacy.
There is a gradual change in attitudes towards the mentally ill in society because recovery after treatment and reintegration with families is now highlighted and this reduces stigma against the clients and family.
There is a gradual shift in the increase of referrals to clinics in comparison to visiting herbalists or native doctor as the first choice among community members.
Over 3000 student nurses have participated in community mental health care training and experience from Amaudo Itumbauzo.

The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean-tide, on which we and all the Universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not: this is forever very literally a miracle; a thing to strike us dumb - for we have no word to speak about it.
