Flunitrazolam is een depressant uit de benzodiazepine klasse. Het is de triazoolanaloog van Flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) en is een krachtig hypnoticum en kalmerend middel vergelijkbaar met verwante verbindingen zoals flunitrazepam, clonazolam en flubromazolam . Het staat bekend om zijn ongebruikelijke potentie voor een benzodiazepineverbinding, omdat deze al actief is bij lage hoeveelheden. Deze eigenschap wordt gedeeld met stoffen zoals flubromazolam en clonazolam. De toevoeging van de triazoolring aan het schavot verhoogt de potentie aanzienlijk, dit is duidelijk aangezien flunitrazolam naar verluidt actief is op microgramniveau. Het is actief bij 0,1 mg.  Flunitrazolam heeft duidelijke effecten die variëren van nauwelijks waarneembaar tot volledig geheugenverlies, sterk afhankelijk van de dosering en fysieke verschillen in metabolisme. Het deelt een aantal gemeenschappelijke kenmerken bij veel gebruikers, waaronder milde of drempeleffecten bij lagere doseringsniveaus voordat het snel overgaat in zeer geheugenverlies of black-outtoestanden bij een bepaalde dosering (sommige mensen melden 300 mg). Het heeft overwegend hypnotische effecten en opmerkelijke spierontspanning, terwijl het geen angstonderdrukking of sederende effecten heeft.

Geschiedenis
Flunitrazolam verscheen online voor het eerst op de markt als research chemical in 2016. Het verscheen in de vorm van geperste pellets en werd aangeboden naast andere nieuwe benzodiazepines zoals clonazolam en flubromazolam.  Het werd voor het eerst definitief geïdentificeerd en gerapporteerd aan het EMCDDA Early Warning System, door een analytisch laboratorium in Duitsland in oktober 2016, en was daarvoor niet beschreven in de wetenschappelijke literatuur. Hierdoor lijkt het een volledig nieuwe stof te zijn, voordat het online te koop werd aangeboden.

Legaliteit
Flunitrazolam bevindt zich op het gebied van legaliteit in de meeste (zo niet alle) delen van de wereld in een grijs gebied. Dit houdt in dat het in geen enkel land bekend staat als specifiek illegaal, maar dat mensen onder bepaalde omstandigheden nog steeds kunnen worden aangeklaagd voor het bezit ervan, zoals onder analoge wetten en met de bedoeling om te verkopen of te consumeren.

Er is nog maar heel weinig onderzoek gedaan naar deze specifieke verbinding. Er zijn zeer weinig gegevens over de farmacologische eigenschappen, het metabolisme en de toxiciteit van flunitrazolam bij mensen. Informatie over dosering, effecten en toxiciteit moet dus met voorzichtigheid worden bekeken. Alle volgende opmerkingen over de farmacologie zijn puur speculatie op basis van de subjectieve effecten die het teweegbrengt en de structurele gelijkenis met flunitrazolam en andere benzodiazepinen. Voorlopige rapporten suggereren dat het een hoog misbruikpotentieel heeft, vergelijkbaar met dat van andere krachtige benzodiazepines. Het veroorzaakt waarschijnlijk fysieke afhankelijkheid bij chronisch gebruik. Bovendien is de dosering een punt van zorg, aangezien krachtige benzodiazepines langdurige black-outs kunnen veroorzaken bij maar kleine miscalculaties tijdens het doseren.

Farmacologie
Benzodiazepinen zijn GABA-agonisten en produceren een verscheidenheid aan effecten door zich te binden aan de benzodiazepine-receptoren. Aangezien dit de meest productieve inhiberende receptor in de hersenen is, zorgt de modulatie ervan voor sederende (of kalmerende) effecten van flunitrazolam op het zenuwstelsel.De anticonvulsieve eigenschappen van benzodiazepines kunnen, gedeeltelijk of geheel, te wijten zijn aan binding aan spanningsafhankelijke natriumkanalen in plaats van aan benzodiazepinereceptoren.

Experimentele onderzoeken op flunitrazolam leveren vaak bevindingen op van sedatie, ontremming, droompotentiëring, resterende slaperigheid, vertraging van gedachten en spierontspanning.

Flunitrazolam heeft waarschijnlijk een lage toxiciteit in verhouding tot de dosis.  Het is echter potentieel dodelijk wanneer het wordt gemengd met kalmerende middelen zoals alcohol of opioïden.

Chemie
Flunitrazolam is een chemische stof uit de benzodiazepineklasse. Flunitrazolam is vernoemd naar de fluor-, broom- en triazoolsubstituties op het benzodiazepine-kernskelet (FLUorine-NITro-AZOLe-AM). Flunitrazolam behoort tot de benzodiazepineklasse omdat het een 1,4-diazepinering bevat die is gefuseerd met een gesubstitueerde benzeenring. Broom is gebonden aan deze bicyclische structuur op R7. Bovendien is een met fluor gesubstitueerde fenylring aan deze structuur gebonden op R5.Flunitrazolam bevat ook een gemethyleerde triazoolring die is gefuseerd met R1 en R2 van de diazepinering en deze bevat. Flunitrazolam behoort tot een klasse van benzodiazepinen die deze gefuseerde triazoolring bevatten, triazolobenzodiazepinen genaamd, die zich onderscheiden door het achtervoegsel "-zolam".

OFFSHORE REGEN SCHEME SCANDAL
More local gossip: Shut down and offshored
We kid you not … A flagship New Labour regeneration scheme in south Bristol, once described by former MP "Dim Prawn" Primarolo as "a dream come true", has been moved OFFSHORE to avoid tax!
Touted as a solution for jobs, long term economic decline and inequality in a deprived part of south Bristol, the Morrison's supermarket scheme on the site of the old council-owned Symes Avenue shopping centre in Hartcliffe opened to HUGE FANFARE in 2007.
Along with a supermarket paying CRAP WAGES and an enormous and under-used car park, this "first class district centre in which we can all take pride" included a community centre, a library and EIGHT smaller shop units that were supposed to accommodate LOCAL BUSINESSES AND RETAILERS and tick the "mixed use" regeneration box.
Bristol City Council assembled the land for this scheme at considerable EXPENSE to us. Paying through the nose to buy back – through compulsory purchase – their long-term lease on the old Symes Avenue shopping centre that had been shifted to an asset stripping firm, Panther Securities.
They also used their compulsory purchase powers to seize sections of residents' back gardens in Holbrook Crescent so that these gardens could be transformed into an unused and abandoned section of supermarket car park. Again, at a CONSIDERABLE COST to us.
Once the costly development site had been assembled, the council handed the whole lot over to Morrison's for FREE as a 'sweetener' to get the supermarket and its associated 'benefits' built.
Fast forward to 2014 and – with remarkably little fanfare – Morrison's engaged in their own little land and property transaction and SOLD THE LEASE for the eight 'local' shop units on the site to a property firm based offshore in tax haven Jersey – BNP PARIBAS!
Now, in 2016, we learn that the locally owned and run hairdressers' on the site – 'The Local Gossip' – has CLOSED after they were landed with an enormous RENT HIKE by their new offshore owners. And we learn the locally owned and run Post Office on the site is on the verge of CLOSURE due to the huge RENT INCREASE!
We are happy to report, however, that the four distinctly unlocal corporate retailers occupying the remaining units, like bookies, Ladbrokes, are having no problem affording the new high cost rents.
Meanwhile, shareholders at BNP Paribas are, no doubt, appreciating the cool double whammy of easy extra rental income extracted from a deprived area while not having to bother with the expense of paying much tax to help the community they're BLEEDING DRY.
Now that's what we call regeneration! Trebles all round!

SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Google's new computerized glasses aren't on sale to the general public yet, but the devices already have lawmakers in Illinois and several other states concerned that they'll become the latest deadly distraction for drivers.
Illinois state Sen. Ira Silverstein filed legislation Tuesday to bar motorists from using the Google Glass devices, which allow wearers to search the Internet, make phone calls and check email.
Legislators in Delaware, New Jersey and West Virginia have also introduced bills that would specifically ban driving with Google Glass.
Google Glass features a thumbnail-size transparent video display on a lens in front of the user's right eye. The device is built into frames that look like eyeglasses. The technology will not be made widely available to the public until 2014, but about 10,000 "explorers" received the glasses earlier this year as part of a tryout.
One of those "explorers" is already in trouble for driving while wearing the device.
Cecilia Abadie, a California software developer, was pulled over in October on suspicion of going 80 mph in a 65 mph zone on a San Diego freeway.
The California Highway Patrol officer saw she was wearing Google Glass and tacked on a citation usually given to people driving while a video or TV screen is on in the front of their vehicle. Abadie pleaded not guilty to both charges in San Diego traffic court on Tuesday.
In Illinois, Silverstein's measure would piggyback on the state's new law banning drivers from using cellphones unless they're speaking with a hands-free device.
In a statement, Google spokeswoman Anna Richardson White said wearers should use the technology responsibly and make safety a priority.
"More broadly, Glass is built to connect you more with the world around you, not distract you from it," Richardson White said.

Q: Retrieving keys and values from json I have this JSON string:
$json= '{"data":[{"id":"123","name":"john smith","gender":"MALE","phone":[{"number":"+919999999999","numberType":"MOBILE"}]}]}'

I want to retrieve all the values and keys from the json, output should look like:
id:         123
name:       john smith
gender:     MALE
phone:
    number:     +919999999999

I have tried this code but it fails to get the phone output:
$jsond = json_decode($json);
foreach($jsond->data as $row)
{
    foreach($row as $key => $val)
    {
        echo $key . ': ' . $val;
    }
}

A: This is exactly what array_walk_recursive is for:
<?php

$json = '{"data":[{"id":"123","name":"john smith","gender":"MALE","phone":[{"number":"+919999999999","numberType":"MOBILE"}]}]}';

$jsond = json_decode($json,true);

function test_print($val, $key)
{
    echo "$key : $val
\n";
}

array_walk_recursive($jsond, 'test_print');

Resulting in this output:

id : 123

name : john smith

gender : MALE

number : +919999999999

numberType : MOBILE

Oracle's Sparc SuperCluster Due by Year End
By James Niccolai
Oracle has launched its new Sparc T4 processor, along with new hardware that it hopes will turn up the heat on server rivals Hewlett-Packard and IBM.
CEO Larry Ellison was, as usual, in feisty form when he took to the stage at Oracle's headquarters Monday to launch the products. He made several bold performance claims and said he's "looking forward" to competing for IBM's customers.
The T4 is the latest addition to the Sparc processor family developed by Sun Microsystems, which Oracle acquired last year. It has eight processor cores, down from 16 in the T3, but each core runs at up to 3GHz, compared to the T3's 1.65Ghz. That helps gives the T4 five-times the single-threaded performance of its predecessor, according to Ellison.
The Sparc T4 is available now in standard rack and blade servers, priced from US$16,000 to $160,000. It will also be used in the Sparc SuperCluster, a high-end system that will pack 1,200 CPU threads in a single system the size of a server rack.
Oracle still won't give pricing for the SuperCluster, which it first talked about last year. Nor would it give a firm ship date, although John Fowler, executive vice president for Oracle's systems group, said in an interview that the product will be out by the end of the year.
It's similar in some ways to Oracle's Exadata Database Machine and Exalogic Elastic Cloud. In all three cases, Oracle says it has tightly engineered the server, storage and network components to optimize performance, and integrated its software on top of that.
But while the Exalogic system is for running middleware and the Exadata machine for data warehousing and online transaction processing, the SuperCluster is designed for general purpose computing, including standard enterprise resource planning applications.
[ Further reading: Best NAS boxes for media streaming and backup ]
The machine includes four Sparc T4 server nodes, each with four sockets; Infiniband switches; ZFS storage appliances; and Oracle's Exadata storage servers. It can be purchased in a half rack configuration, or as a full rack with 4TB of DRAM and up to 198TB of hard disk space.
Up to eight racks can be linked together with a single system image, Ellison said. "This is a very big machine," he said.
Some of the components overlap with those in the Exadata Database machine. But the SuperCluster has less of Oracle's specialized database storage servers and adds standard storage instead. It also devotes more space to compute power.
"You can add more Exadata storage cells in a second rack if you want to ... but the original rack trades a certain amount of Exadata storage for general storage, to be a more general purpose system," Fowler said in the interview.
"If you're going to run just the Oracle 11 database, Exadata is definitely the product for you. ... But if you want to run PeopleSoft or SAP or homegrown applications in the same cluster, you could do that with the SuperCluster but not with [the Exadata Database machine]," he said. "That's the simplest way to define the difference."
Ellison claimed a full Sparc SuperCluster rack can outperform IBM's high-end Power 795 server "by a long shot." IBM declined to comment on any of his claims Monday. The SuperCluster has storage bandwidth of 42 GB/sec and can perform 1.2 million input/output operations per second, Ellison said.
"Oracle is throwing a lot of performance-oriented red meat to their installed base of loyal Sparc and Solaris customers," said industry analyst Dan Olds of Gabriel Consulting. "They touted a lot of benchmarks and comparisons to both IBM and x86 commodity servers. But it remains to be seen if this is enough to convince new customers to start buying Sparc hardware again."
The SuperCluster aims to give an easy upgrade path from existing Sparc systems. It will be offered with Oracle's new Solaris 11 OS, but customers can run Solaris 10 if they prefer, Fowler said. Solaris 11 includes enhancements that will better be able to handle higher thread-counts and faster I/O bandwidth, however.
When Oracle first acquired Sun, many questioned its commitment to the Sparc platform. But Ellison has made it a cornerstone of Oracle's strategy, building pricey but powerful machines that combine Sun and Oracle technologies.
The company has a Sparc 5 processor on its road map. Fowler wouldn't say much about that chip Monday, except that Oracle is ahead of schedule with its development.

My friends at The Gordon, an online training company, have created another series of Lean Lego videos. The Gordon is Victoria's largest regional stand-alone TAFE and one of Australia's original and leading education and training providers -- established in the heart of Geelong in 1887. This project aims to empower workers to continuously come up with ideas to improve workplace productivity. Their first video Lean Gone Lego delivers an insight into a better way of working in manufacturing.
Following on from LEAN gone LEGO is this interview with Robbie the Red Trolley Manager who implemented the LEAN changes. Robbie talks about the benefits of implementing Lean.
Following on from the original Lean Gone Lego clip Sheila, a Red Trolley worker, tells how the new LEAN systems have helped better her workplace. Sheila talks about the positive work environment and teamwork she experienced in this new Lean company.
These are great additions to the original video and they highlight the respect for people aspects of implementing Lean in your workplace. I think those that have seen "Real" Lean can relate to the comments in these interviews. Hope you enjoy a little fun lesson today.
Very very interesting..I hope by this effort we can introduce lean to students in colleges for them to learn about continuous improvement. I think the sooner students learn about lean, the more adaptable and ready they are when they actually go to the working field and required less training.
I agree Lean thinking should be something business students and engineers are exposed to early. Wouldn't that make solving problems in our life easier.
Very watchable Tim - Just demonstrates that Lean is 'childs play' in reality!
Yes, because kids are very inquisitive.

Earthquake-hit school chosen for Quadrilateral project 2022...
Saurpani village in the Gorkha Himalayan region.
A new classroom block was the first phase of reconstruction at the Shree Saurpani Primary School.
The reconstruction of a Nepali primary school badly damaged in a devastating earthquake has been chosen as Maidenhead Rotary Club's Quadrilateral Project for 2022.
The Shree Saurpani School is in the rugged and inaccessible Gorkha Himalayan region, the area at the epicentre of a massive earthquake that shook the region in 2015. Its buildings were so badly damaged they could no longer be used and the school is still recovering from the disaster.
With the support of the Rotary clubs of Kopundol in Nepal, and Farringdon in the UK, a modern classroom block and toilets have now been built. But student numbers are down from 200 before the earthquake to 108, with a staff of seven teachers.
At its November business meeting, Maidenhead Rotary Club agreed to adopt the next phase of the school redevelopment as its special project for when it hosts the 2022 Quadrilateral – an annual gathering of the twinned Rotary clubs of Maidenhead, Tivoli, Bonn and St Cloud hosted by each club in turn.
International committee chairman Graham Brunsden said: "We will be involved in supporting phase two of the regeneration plan – which includes IT training, English and adult literacy, and a library upgrade – working with the local Kopundol Rotary club and the Farringdon club.
"We will eventually have 8000 euros at our disposal from the Quadrilateral fund, but we will start contributing to the project at the beginning of next year as the people on the ground are anxious to start the completion of this phase and reap the benefits."
Graham added: "We have been aware of this project for some time. It is well run, stewarded by the local Rotary club and is subject to ongoing scrutiny."
The club's liaison link person for the project is Rotarian Gurdip Bahra. He or Graham can be contacted for further information.

Q: Dropwizard - Resources on multiple ports I have a Dropwizard(v 0.7.1) based Jersey REST service. Currently I use one application connector port (8810) and I have two resources (say "/path1","/path2").
I will be able to access these resources as http:\\localhost:8810\path1 and http:\\localhost:8810\path2 respectively. What am trying to achieve is have a separate port for each resource. (e.g http:\\localhost:8810\path1 and http:\\localhost:8820\path2). I tweaked the yaml file to have the below configuration and when I started the application both resources were available using both ports and am not sure how to configure these resources to use specific ports or is that even possible with Dropwizard?
server:
  applicationConnectors:
   -
     type: http
     port: 8810
   -
     type: http
     port: 8820

Appreciate if someone can enlighten.
Thanks

A: your issue is that the DefaultServerFactory adds all applicationConntectors to the same Handler, see DefaultServerFactory#build:
@Override
public Server build(Environment environment) {
    printBanner(environment.getName());
    final ThreadPool threadPool = createThreadPool(environment.metrics());
    final Server server = buildServer(environment.lifecycle(), threadPool);

    LOGGER.info("Registering jersey handler with root path prefix: {}", applicationContextPath);
    environment.getApplicationContext().setContextPath(applicationContextPath);
    final Handler applicationHandler = createAppServlet(server,
                                                        environment.jersey(),
                                                        environment.getObjectMapper(),
                                                        environment.getValidator(),
                                                        environment.getApplicationContext(),
                                                        environment.getJerseyServletContainer(),
                                                        environment.metrics());

    LOGGER.info("Registering admin handler with root path prefix: {}", adminContextPath);
    environment.getAdminContext().setContextPath(adminContextPath);
    final Handler adminHandler = createAdminServlet(server,
                                                    environment.getAdminContext(),
                                                    environment.metrics(),
                                                    environment.healthChecks());
    final RoutingHandler routingHandler = buildRoutingHandler(environment.metrics(),
                                                              server,
                                                              applicationHandler,
                                                              adminHandler);
    server.setHandler(addStatsHandler(addRequestLog(server, routingHandler, environment.getName())));
    return server;
}

What you need to do is implement your own ServerFactory.
You can extend DefaultServerFactory and overwrite the build method to set up your connectors in the way you want them to be.
Presumably you'll want to add some more configuration that indicates what goes where, since in terms of your yaml it will not be possible to map a resource to a specific connector. How would dropwizard know about that.
For overwriting the behaviour for dropwizard (adding a new ServerFactory) you can see this post I wrote about adding logging: Dropwizard doesn't log custom loggers to file
It basically involves implementing the class and making it discoverable for dropwizard. After that all you need to do is to change the yaml file to point to the correct ServerFactory.
If you don't like that approach, you can overwrite the get/set method on the configuration to return your class. For this, your class MUST extend DefaultServerFactory, since otherwise the yaml mapping won't work anymore. You can overwrite the build method regardless though.
Update:
Looking at it in a bit more detail, you'll run into a second problem:
Your Environment only has one jersey environment that it can use.
You will need to configure a second jersey environment since currently by default each Handler will get the same Jersey config passed to it (the only one that exists). This is why it will be available for all of your http configurations. So in summary:

*

*Create a new Environment that supports multiple jersey configurations

*Create a server factory that knows what jersey config belongs to which Handler and instantiates the handlers in that form.

I believe those two steps would be required.
In terms of environment, you will have to create your own ServerCommand (that is the command that starts up dropwizard server).
Looking in EnvironmentCommand#run you can see where the Environment is created. This will be the only place you can overwrite the default Environment (as far as I know) which is what you need to do to support multiple jersey configs.
To be honest with you, looking at this, I do not believe that this is what the dropwizard guys had in mind.

UN Chief urges end to Palestinian feuding amid energy crisis
Friday, 1 September 2017 00:00 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Guterres visits Gaza after talks in Jerusalem, West Bank
Says internal divisions undermine Palestinian cause
Political power-sharing dispute leads to Gaza blackouts
Gaza (Reuters): U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres appealed in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday for an end to Palestinian political divisions that have deepened an energy crisis in the isolated enclave of two million people.
Guterres, on his first visit to the Hamas-ruled territory since taking office in January, did not meet leaders of the Islamist movement, which the West regards as a terrorist group.
"Yesterday, I was in (the West Bank city of) Ramallah. Today, I am in Gaza. They are both parts of the same Palestine. So, I appeal for the unity ... The division only undermines the cause of the Palestinian people," he said in a speech at a U.N.-run school in the coastal territory.
Hamas and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Palestinian Authority (PA), which exercises limited self-rule in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, have been locked for years in dispute over power-sharing.
Applying pressure on Hamas, Abbas in recent months has slashed PA funding for Israeli-supplied electricity to Gaza, leading to prolonged daily blackouts in the enclave that the group seized from his Fatah faction in fighting in 2007.
"Being in Gaza, allow me to express my dream in a different way: the dream to be able to come back to Gaza one day and to see Gaza as part of a Palestinian state in peace, with prosperity and welfare for the people of this wonderful place," Guterres said.
Guterres, who crossed overland into Gaza from Israel after a helicopter tour of the border area with Israeli officials, repeated a call for a resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations that collapsed n 2014.
Citing security concerns, both Israel and Egypt maintain tight restrictions on the movement of people and goods along their respective Gaza frontiers.
In a statement, Hamas said it welcomed Guterres's visit and called on him to "make all possible efforts to lift the Gaza siege and end the suffering of two million Palestinians living in the world's largest open-air prison".
In his speech, Guterres said it was "important to open the closure" on the basis of a 2005 pact between Israel and the Palestinian Authority that includes detailed security arrangements for Gaza's border crossings.

New flights launched from Glasgow to Latvia
Calling all culture vultures!
Kathleen Speirs
Glasgow Airport has received a further boost as Ryanair launch increased flights between Glasgow and Riga, the capital city of Latvia.
The airline has launched an additional third weekly service with flights now operating every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, according to Air Glasgow.
Ryanair say the new flight schedule will provide more choice and greater flexibility for both business and leisure travellers while increasing capacity, enabling more passengers to travel between Glasgow and Riga.
The increase in capacity is in response to strong and growing customer demand for the route with 29,355 passengers travelling between Glasgow and Riga in 2016.
Riga is set on the Baltic Sea at the mouth of the River Daugava.
The city is also known for its wooden buildings, art nouveau architecture and medieval Old Town.
The pedestrian-only Old Town has many shops and restaurants and is home to busy Livu Square, with plenty of bars and nightclubs.
With incredible architecture, food, nightlife, culture and atmosphere we can see why Riga was the European City of Culture 2014.

About WRAD
WRAD launches short story competition
WRAD is launching a short story competition to showcase recovery from addiction.
The competition is open for friends, families and supportive community members to write short stories with the focus on recovery from alcohol and other drugs and to highlight the message that treatment works.
Prize money of $2,500 will be on offer and the winning stories will be published on WRAD's new website, newsletter and highlighted excerpts in the local media.
Warrnambool-based author Paul Jennings will be patron and judge of the competition.
Mr Jennings said he totally supported the work of WRAD in helping people to deal with alcohol and other drug-related issues.
"Sharing these stories is a way of stimulating discussion in the community and to show there is a road to recovery," Mr Jennings said.
WRAD Director Geoff Soma said the competition was an opportunity for people to use their perspective to generate discussion and understanding about addiction issues.
"Discussing addiction helps to destigmatise the problems and to show others that it is a health issue that could afflict anyone in the community.
"We hope this competition inspires people to address their problems. Often people affected by addiction don't ask for help because they feel stigma and shame; this needs to change."
The stories have a 1000-word limit. The competition starts March 19 and entries must be lodged by April 30.
The first prize will be $1200, second $650, third $400 and $250 for a Paul Jennings special award.
For more information, people can contact Geoff Soma at WRAD or Rick Bayne on 0418 140489.
Submissions can be lodged to The WRAD Centre 172 Merri St, Warrnambool or email info@wrad.org.au.
In a separate initiative, WRAD will be compiling a special publication telling the personal stories of clients who have recovered from addiction after treatment.

Following a brief period of relative quiet on the live cultural front, it felt like the time was right for a new playlist on the blog.
After de-stressing one evening recently by motoring through a load of pop songs on YouTube, I started to have flashbacks to my teenage and early working years, when doing a similar sort of thing might have meant sitting on the floor surrounded by piles of seven inch singles, or albums, or CDs - so that losing yourself in the music almost felt like a physical, as well as aural, experience.
Because, by definition, nostalgia is a modern activity, I think a lot of Today's Youth are as tuned in to how people my age (add the prefix 'middle') used to enjoy music as they want to be. Those who like a tactile channel for storing music are certainly helping the vinyl revival along. And even a term like 'mixtape' survives as a catch-all description for a lovingly-compiled playlist, even though the 'tape' bit no longer really features.
I used to set myself the task of compiling entire tapes of tracks where there was one rule: nothing longer than 3 minutes. Minimum boredom (and therefore, as little fast-forwarding as possible), maximum variety. I've resurrected that rule again here, but there's a bit more classical and jazz than there used to be in the melting pot.
I think it turned out to be a relatively gentle selection (with a few bursts of oomph and welly), but I hope you enjoy the rate of the changes. With 15 tracks in all, I hope it will strike a particular chord with any listeners immediately cheered by the phrase "fits on one side of a 90".
I've included versions taken from YouTube directly below - then at the end of the post there's a repeat of the playlist for Spotifiers.

Mysterious Seal Deaths in New England
U.S. government joins probe of mysterious seal deaths
Posted on October 6, 2011 by The Extinction Protocol
October 6, 2011 – BOSTON – Federal officials have joined an investigation into the mysterious deaths of young harbor seals on beaches across three New England states as the number of dead seals rose to 49.
Seals began washing up on the beaches of northern Massachusetts, New Hampshire and southern Maine last week, said Maggie Mooney-Seus, a spokeswoman for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's office in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
"Some of them have been decomposed," she told Reuters on Wednesday. "We're hoping we're not going to see a lot more. We don't know at this point what's caused it."
The densest cluster of seal deaths has been along New Hampshire's 18-mile (30-km) coast, where 17 seal carcasses have been recovered since Friday, said Tony Lacasse, a spokesman for the New England Aquarium in Boston.
The aquarium has conducted autopsies on three of the least-decomposed seals and found that they all had an adequate layer of blubber to survive.
That suggests the young seals did not die because of a failure to develop hunting skills, which causes the natural deaths of about 30 percent of harbor seals after they are weaned from their mother, Lecasse said.
"The results were a little surprising to us," Lecasse said. "We're doing tissue sampling and have sent those out to labs across the country." -Reuters

Q: Why don't the corrections to energy disappear in perturbation theory? The corrections to the wavefunctions and energies depend on
$<\psi_m^0\,| \,H'|\psi_n^0>$
to some order. I would've thought that
$<\psi_m^0\,| \,H'|\psi_n^0> \, =\, <H' \psi_m^0\,|\psi_n^0>\,=\lambda <\psi_m^0\,|\psi_n^0> = \lambda \cdot 0 = 0$ for $m \neq n$.
where $\lambda$ is some eigenvalue of $H'$. Could someone point out the flaw in my reasoning?

From Siam Piwat's game-changing success towards a new "Above the Ocean" strategy, rising above all changes and moving forward with stability and sustainability
From Siam Piwat's game-changing success towards
a new "Above the Ocean" strategy, rising above all changes
and moving forward with stability and sustainability
Throughout over 63 years of business in Thailand, Siam Piwat has overcome all sorts of crises especially at Siam – the fiercest battlefield of commerce and much more. Siam Piwat has been able to lead its partners and retailers out of each plight through the years. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which it was no less impacted than any other business, the Company parlayed the extensive experience it had amassed over the years into a toolset that enabled it to triumph over the crisis with grace.
While steering a business through hardships is already in a challenge for an executive in and of itself, changing the game to future-proof the business is an even bigger challenge. Yet, Siam Piwat Group's chief Chadatip Chutrakul has proven herself as a leader time and again, having helped the business swiftly regain profitability when hit by a crisis, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
Ms. Chadatip Chutrakul, Chief Executive Officer of Siam Piwat Group, a leading real estate and retail developer, the owner and operator of world-renowned properties, such as Siam Paragon, Siam Center, and Siam Discovery, and a joint venture partner of ICONSIAM and Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok, said that the COVID crisis has been a great learning experience. Thanks to the experience it has gained from previous crises, coupled with a decisive move to quickly restructure the organization, Siam Piwat has been able not only to cope with the challenge but also generate more revenue in the first nine months of 2022 than in the same period of 2019, pre-COVID level despite the absence of foreign tourists.
Through the years, Siam Piwat's mission is not to bethe number one in terms of the number of shopping centers or the largest market share in terms of area. Rather, Siam Piwat adopts a four-pronged Top-of-Mind strategy to ensure its resilience. The strategy consists of the following:
1.Top-of-mind among people: Siam Piwat seeks to establish top-of-mind awareness not only among Thai people but across the world. This goal is well within reach as Siam Paragon is the sixth most checked-in place in the world on Facebook and the world's most checked-in location on Instagram, not to mention that all Siam Piwat's shopping centers have been voted by tourists in various countries as their favorite destinations.
2.Top-of-mind among retailers: Siam Piwat is committed to its duty of ensuring the continuous success of ten thousand retailers across its shopping centers. As a testament, Siam Piwat has successfully generated astounding foot traffic, bringing in over 100 million visitors per year, more than 25 million of whom are tourists. Thanks to this, many brands with branches in Siam Piwat's properties have achieved the country's top sales, while international brands have similarly been able to push their sales into the world's top 10.
3.Top-of-mind among business partners: Siam Piwat's shopping centers not only sell products but also serve as a branding platform. Through the years, Siam Piwat has fostered relationships with various partners and joined hand with both government agencies and private sector to develop new business models to co-create and deliver to customers experiences beyond expectations.
4.Top-of-mind in the world: As shopping centers serve as magnets that strengthen Thailand's position as a shopping paradise and its ability to attract visitors from across the globe, Siam Piwat strives to build properties that can rival other major projects around the world in order to earn acceptance across the global shopping mall business and curate a positive reputation for Thailand. Siam Piwat's shopping centers have won over 40 top awards across various categories from world-class organizations – a phenomenal achievement thus far unattained by any other shopping center in Thailand or Asia.
"We do not have shopping centers in different provinces or nationwide; we have only four shopping malls and one luxury outlet mall, but all of them have been named winners at a global level by various world-class organizations and associations for, among others, innovation and design, revolutionizing the retail industry, marketing and generating world-class experiences, best support for SMEs, green leadership, sustainable development, and developing the world's most desired destinations. All of these awards underline Thai people's capacity, and today, many shopping center developers from different countries are seeking to come and learn from us."
"Our business goal is not just profit. We seek to build relationships with retailers and partners that transcend time. A life reward for our employees is getting to create a second home for our customers and fulfilling their wishes and experiences to the best of our ability in every situation as well as creating a platform that fosters success for our retailers and partners. Thanks to these strategies and missions, we have been able to grow our sales by five times over the past seven years and increased the number of our subsidiaries from 32 to 48. Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to launch Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok, Thailand's first-ever luxury outlet mall, in mid-2021 and successfully developed a new digital platform ONESIAM SuperApp in only 13 months," said Ms. Chadatip Chutrakul.
While many organizations are still grappling with post-covid challenges, Siam Piwat has already drawn up new strategies.
Siam Piwat's CEO added that 10 years ago, the company foresaw a possible disruption from digital evolution and thus began to shift its strategies for every shopping center towards creating value, developing fresh experiences that would speak to people, and fostering emotional engagement through emotional marketing. Siam Piwat also initiated a digital transformation internally as well as completed its data bank development in early 2022. Thanks to these efforts, the company was well-equipped to handle the COVID-19 pandemic and able to quickly develop a digital platform to serve its customers. Moving forward, Siam Piwat is looking to change the game with the concept Rise Above and Beyond, where it creates new strategies that will enable it to rise beyond all of its previous achievements, rise above all changes in the world, positive or otherwise, and ultimately rise above all challenges.
Siam Piwat's next step is to shift from the Blue Ocean Strategy to the Above the Ocean Strategy, where it rises above all changes, takes a step back and views the business in a new context, tears down all old limitations, and innovates new things from its existing value without any limitations. Under this new strategy, Siam Piwat will operate without competitors and work hand in hand with partners to build an ecosystem to amplify its success and sustainability and create a world without frontiers filled with opportunities in every dimension.
Siam Piwat's next move under the Above the Ocean Strategy is to expand its value creation initiatives into a universe of value by:
1.Creating a sharing economy through ONESIAM SuperApp and VIZ COINS
2.Co-creating experiences beyond expectations both through physical and digital platforms to expand the offerings and cater to global citizens
3.Collaborating to win by creating an ecosystem of success in collaboration with existing 50 partners across 13 industries
4.Fostering sustainable value in every process to create mutual growth for all involved, as well as the public, the environment, and economy; redefining and pioneering new businesses whether in the form of products, services, or platforms to create access to a better quality of life without leaving anyone behind; as well as contributing to restoring the environment and passing on a better world to posterity.
"Siam Piwat's Above the Ocean Strategy will enable us to foster mutual growth sustainable with every sector, create a positive net impact for the public and the environment, and play a part in helping Thailand achieve greatness on the global stage, concluded Chadatip."

Rapport (français)
Media release (English)
Communiqué de presse (français)
Canada's premiers are dicussing a Canadian Energy Strategy that will be released in mid-2015. A coordinated multi-province strategy presents an important opportunity for Canada to align its climate and energy policies with the global transition away from carbon-intensive fossil fuels.
This report outlines key considerations and corresponding recommendations for provincial and territorial leaders as they convene to discuss a new path forward for Canadian energy and climate policies. The Canadian Energy Strategy provides a means to break the deadlock of climate inaction in Canada. It also present a critical opportunity for the premiers to reinvigorate a cooperative approach to climate and economic issues.

Buffkin said planning what the night is going to be like takes month of preparations, but the set-up is basically done day of.
"It's months and months of preparation, but it really comes down to today," Buffkin said.
She said set-up crews were going from 6 a.m. to start getting The Market Common ready for the coming celebration. At 4 p.m. on Monday, eight hours before the ball would drop, crews were hard at work, blocking off streets, getting the crane into position and making sure the event would be safe for the thousands who would pour in.
The event was set to begin at 9 p.m., giving the crews a little over 12 hours to get ready. Buffkin said the work can take right up until the start time to get the vendors going and the bands set up.
Once the night is done and the fun is had, it all has to come down, but that's a problem for 2019 to worry about.

Lying Liar Carly Fiorina Does Not Like Being Libeled Like A Common Sarah Palin
Evan Hurst
[contextly_sidebar id="4OerWZ3uI2qbFkkpHHHWyTgglt7Mu8QE"]
Carly Fiorina lying about a thing is unremarkable. What IS remarkable about this huffy, puffy, dare we say SHRILL exchange between Ms. Lies-A-Lot and CNN's Chris Cuomo is how spitting mad her persona gets when anyone suggests that perhaps her constant lying about Planned Parenthood videos (which don't exist, at least not the ones SHE talks about) could ever have consequences. That just maybe a person might have heard her constant blabbering about LIVE BABY PARTS, decide to shoot up a Planned Parenthood while reportedly shouting "NO MORE BABY PARTS," and then tell the judge he did it because he's a "warrior for the babies."
How could Carly's rhetoric have anything to do with that? And besides, remember that time "everybody" ("everybody" being "Congresswoman Gabby Giffords," but to be fair that was before Giffords was shot in the head) said it was Sarah Palin's fault Gabby Giffords got shot in the head, and then it wasn't Palin's fault after all, said Sarah Palin? This is just like that, and it makes Fiorina REAL mad:
Remember Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin was somehow responsible for the murder, or the attack, on Gabby Giffords. It turned out that wasn't true EITHER.
Hmmm. But WAS it true? Let's ask this lady.
But let's back up to see what led Carly to invoke "SARAH PALIN LIBELS!" in her own defense. Chris Cuomo asks an obvious question:
Do you feel any sense of regret about how you characterized what was going on at Planned Parenthood after the attack in Colorado? Because of what the man said, which seems as though he was influenced by some of the rhetoric that was coming out of you and others that painted a very ugly picture and an unfair one, about Planned Parenthood?
NOT THE OBVIOUS QUESTION SHE WANTED, CUOMO. Carly does not like that one bit, no siree.
Oh, please, really, Chris? Nine videotapes have come out about Planned Parenthood. It is very clear what they have been doing. And in fact, Planned Parenthood several weeks ago made a quiet little announcement that they would no longer accept compensation for the sale of what they call fetal tissue. That's about as close to an admission as you can get.
Look, what happened in Colorado is a terrible thing. This guy is a deranged murderer, and I hope he is put away for life. It may be that we should be classifying that as domestic terrorism as well, but that has nothing to do with the truth of what is going on at Planned Parenthood. And this is a typical leftwing tactic ...
[contextly_sidebar id="eNw8XIF3eufkkU23EUUWRcCeOW00gi7T"]
BLAH BLAH BLAH LIBERAL MEDIA GRRR ARGH. It's nice that she thinks maybe "pro-life" terrorists should be called, you know, terrorists. But it's so not her fault:
CUOMO: The videos were edited. You know that.
FIORINA: I actually don't know that! [hemming. hawing. gibberish.] There have been reports that say they're not edited!
CUOMO: Of COURSE they were edited. ("Everybody knows this, you fucking assfaced liar," he did not add.)
FIORINA: It's AMAZING to me that we're still having this conversation!
[contextly_sidebar id="zIZCQIg5tDGOJBv1yaMYMvM5H2Sr0reB"]
Yes, well, maybe it is because Carly Fiorina won't stop lying about it, even though people are dead now because SOME people out there are saying lies about how Planned Parenthood is selling baby parts like pumpkins on the side of the road, even though every investigation has turned up NO wrongdoing on Planned Parenthood's part.
A few seconds later, SO MAD, BRO CARLY says, "Let's be VERY careful about what we're saying," because the legal definition of "libel" is saying shit Carly Fiorina doesn't want to hear. The interview goes on and on like that, with Carly sniping here and there about how Chris Cuomo really should watch those videos (that don't exist) and how he's a journalist who should know better than to call her a Big Lying Carly on national television.
And that's too bad, because Carly Fiorina is a lying liar who lies. The videos are bullshit, and she won't take responsibility for it. And those were just "surveyor's marks" on Sarah Palin's map.

I was so nearly an American. It was that close. In the mid-1950s my father was offered a job at Princeton University–something to do with the emerging science of semiconductors. One of the reasons he turned it down was that he didn't think he liked the idea of his children growing up as Americans. I was born, therefore, not in NJ but in NW3.
I was ten when my mother made me a present of this momentous information. The very second she did so, Steve was born.
Steve looked exactly like me, same height, weight and hair colour. In fact, until we opened our mouths, it was almost impossible to distinguish one from the other. Steve's voice had the clear, penetrating, high-up-in-the-head twang of American. He called Mummy 'Mom', he used words like 'swell', 'cute' and 'darn'. There were detectable differences in behaviour too. He spread jam (which he called jelly) on his (smooth, not crunchy) peanut butter sandwiches, he wore jeans, t-shirts and basketball sneakers rather than grey shorts, Airtex shirts and black plimsolls. He had far more money for sweets, which he called candy, than Stephen ever did. Steve was confident almost to the point of rudeness, unlike Stephen who veered unconvincingly between shyness and showing off. If I am honest, I have to confess that Stephen was slightly afraid of Steve.
As they grew up, the pair continued to live their separate, unconnected lives. Stephen developed a mania for listening to records of old music hall and radio comedy stars, watching cricket, reading poetry and novels, becoming hooked on Keats and Dickens, Sherlock Holmes and P.G. Wodehouse and riding around the countryside on a moped. Steve listened to blues and rock and roll, had all of Bob Dylan's albums, collected baseball cards, went to movie theatres three times a week and drove his own car.
Stephen still thinks about Steve and wonders how he is getting along these days. After all, the two of them are genetically identical. It is only natural to speculate on the fate of a long-lost identical twin. Has he grown even plumper than Stephen or does he work out in the gym? Is he in the TV and movie business too? Does he write? Is he 'quintessentially American' in the way Stephen is often charged with being 'quintessentially English'?
All these questions are intriguing but impossible to settle. If you are British, dear reader, then I dare say you too might have been born American had your ancestral circumstances veered a little in their course. What is your long-lost non-existent identical twin up to?
Most people who are obsessed by America are fascinated by the physical–the cars, the music, the movies, the clothes, the gadgets, the sport, the cities, the landscape and the landmarks. I am interested in all of those, of course I am, but I (perhaps because of my father's decision) am interested in something more. I have always wanted to get right under the skin of American life. To know what it really is to be American, to have grown up and been schooled as an American; to work and play as an American; to romance, labour, succeed, fail, feud, fight, vote, shop, drift, dream and drop out as an American; to grow ill and grow old as an American.
For years then, I have harboured deep within me the desire to make a series of documentary films about 'the real' America. Not the usual road movies in a Mustang and certainly not the kind of films where minority maniacs are trapped into making exhibitions of themselves. It is easy enough to find Americans to sneer at if you look hard enough, just as it is easy to find ludicrous and lunatic Britons to sneer at.

Bathtubs are probably the the easy way add value to your bath space. Besides providing a luxurious twist in the existing décor additionally they help you feel good if you are having a shower. They're certain to add a vibrant appeal in the contour of a washroom. To make it sure that these tubs fit well with the all round structure of the room you must have enough preparation in addition to planning. You'll need the aid of bathroom remodeling contractors who could keep up with the planning, preparation as well as installing of these tubs. Let's take a close look at the most recent trend of stone bathtubs.
Stone bathtubs look more inviting when compared to a ones. Since they're exclusive, and each one of them comes with a different kind of texture, color and feel; they easily make bathrooms elite and one of a kind. You cannot have that appeal with ceramic bathtubs, and that is the reason they've become the first choice of each interior designer. The best thing is they seem rustic, traditional, earthy and contemporary at the same time in your bathroom. They effortlessly make your bathroom space aesthetically attractive.
Soaking in a stone bathtub is the place to relax and also to rejuvenate. Allow yourself to spend time soaking in a nice tub and be one with nature with it. The stone element makes your bathroom seem more earthy and peaceful that is a characteristic to a good meditation area.
The stone material is the selection of the luxury market with regards to the home in general. Whatever the source of this exotic appeal, it is the one direction that your whole family will stand behind. The stone look includes a universal appeal, aesthetically stimulating everyone by having an overwhelming sensation of natural relaxation.
Luckily stone can last you years, as it's very strong and durable and won't crack like a cheap acrylic bath might do with time. If you notice a change in colour overtime, however if you take routine proper care of your bath then this process is going to be slowed.
