Trauma Surgeon Battles Bullets In The Operating Room And The Community
By Laura Ungar

Dr. Laurie Punch, a trauma surgeon at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, is adamant that violence is a true medical problem doctors must treat in both the operating room and the community.
Dr. Laurie Punch plunged her gloved hands into Sidney Taylor's open chest in a St. Louis hospital's operating room, pushing on his heart to make it pump again, though a bullet had torn through his flesh, collarbone and lung. His pulse had faded to nothing. She needed to get his heart beating.
She couldn't let the bullet win.
Bullets are Punch's enemy. They threaten everything the 44-year-old trauma surgeon cherishes: her patients' lives, her community, even her family. So, just as she did two years ago with Taylor, Punch has made it her life's mission to stem the bleeding and the damage bullets cause in so many of her patients.
In the ORs at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Punch treats gunshot victims, removing bullets that studies show can poison bodies with lead and trigger depression. And in her violence-wracked community, she teaches people how to use tourniquets to stop bleeding, creating a legion of helpers while building trust between doctors and community members.
"The disease that bullets bring does not yet have a name. It's like an infection, because it affects more than just the flesh it pierces. It infects the entire family, the entire community. Even our country."
Punch feels a calling to St. Louis, which has the nation's highest murder rate among big cities. At least a dozen children were shot to death there this summer alone, including a 7-year-old boy who was playing in his backyard. Punch believes all she's learned in life has prepared her for right now — a time when gun violence kills an average of 100 Americans a day and mass shootings are all too common.
To her, the battle is personal, in more ways than one.
Besides being a surgeon, she's a multiracial single mom living in Ferguson, Mo., just over a mile from where Michael Brown Jr., a black teenager, was shot and killed by a white police officer five years ago.
She has a son the same age as the little boy killed in the backyard in August. And, she says, "I hear the gunshots echoing through my two-acre backyard all the time."
How to stop a deadly disease
In September, Punch brought her message to Washington, D.C., testifying before the House Ways and Means Oversight subcommittee on gun violence. Wearing a jacket and tie, she faced lawmakers to share the story of Shannon Hibler.
The 23-year-old was brought to Punch's hospital last summer; he'd been shot seven times. While the nurses gave Hibler blood, Punch said, she cut his chest open, trying to force life back into his body — to no avail.
"I watched his wife sink, as the flood waters of vulnerability and risk came into her eyes, thinking about the life of her and her child and how they would live without him," Punch told the assembled federal lawmakers in September. "I watched his father rage. And I heard his mother wail."
Punch placed the black-and-yellow, blood-splattered Adidas sneakers she'd worn the day of the shooting on the table before her in the hearing room.
"I can't wash these stains out," she told lawmakers.
The trauma surgeon was adamant: Violence is a true medical problem doctors must treat in both the operating room and the community. Until they do that, she said, violence victims will continue to be vectors who spread violence.
"The disease that bullets bring does not yet have a name," she told the members of Congress. "It's like an infection, because it affects more than just the flesh it pierces. It infects the entire family, the entire community. Even our country."
Start with neighborhoods
But healing also can be contagious — spreading among victims, families and physicians themselves.
Punch, who regularly visits the neighborhoods where her patients live, attended an event last year for , an artist and youth collective working to prevent gun violence. She remembers spotting a volunteer she knew — Antwan Pope, who'd been shot some years earlier, but had found renewed purpose, helping young people.
Punch told Pope about Hibler's case, and learned Hibler was Pope's cousin.
Hibler's dad was at the community event, too, and he handed Punch a lapel pin with his son's picture.
She wore it on her white coat for months.
Punch was born in Washington, D.C., the only child of a father from Trinidad and a white Midwestern mother; they separated six months after her birth.
Until she was seven, Punch moved every year with her mom. They eventually settled with Punch's grandmother in the tiny town of Wellsville, Ohio, a close-knit but segregated community.
Classmates bullied her for being different, Punch recalls.
"I was different in every way because I wasn't black; I wasn't white," says Punch, who later came out as gay.
From the time Punch was 9 years old, she took $2 piano lessons from Elizabeth Carter. The local music teacher had transformed former drug dens into places with music lessons, free clothes and meals, and put all the kids who sought her help to work. Punch's assignment was serving food.
"It's far more than teaching people what to do. They learn: 'I am not simply a victim or a perpetrator or an observer; I'm a helper. I have the capacity to help.' "
That lesson guided her life as a child, and when Punch moved on to Yale University, the University of Connecticut's medical school, then the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, where poverty and trauma scarred the lives of many of her patients.
Punch spent her early career in the shock trauma center in Baltimore, throwing everything she had into saving others.
After marrying a woman she'd met as a medical intern, Punch became pregnant with twins at 35.
The next few years were marked by highs and lows in her personal life and the unrelenting stress of dealing with the aftermath of violence at work.
She miscarried the twins at five months. No one could tell her why.
Five months later, she became pregnant again, this time giving birth to a healthy boy, Sollal Braxton Punch. But not long later, she and her wife separated. Now she found herself as a single parent as the pressures of her job mounted.
One morning, three shooting victims arrived at the trauma center, quickly followed by a car crash victim who was pregnant. Punch's nanny texted her, saying Sollal had a fever of 102.3.
"I realized, 'I can't do this anymore,' " Punch says. " 'I just can't.' "
The call of community
So, she took a break from trauma for more than two years, focusing on general surgery at Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas.
Then, in 2015, a former colleague contacted her about a job as a trauma surgeon and educator at Washington University in St. Louis.
She feared going back to another troubled city. Michael Brown had been killed in Ferguson, a little more than a year earlier, triggering unrest and riots in that city just outside St. Louis.
Despite the city's well-known history of violence, she flew to St. Louis for interviews, then rode around Ferguson with Dr. Isaiah Turnbull, an assistant professor. He pointed out the spot on Canfield Drive where Brown's body had lain in the road for more than four hours.
"It was almost like seeing Ground Zero," Punch says. "This is where it all went down. And it went down because of deep structural realities that caused the experience of black and brown people in north St. Louis to be fundamentally different. I went from not wanting to go, to wanting to be right in the middle of it."
And now she is.
On a recent hot summer evening, 20 people — some black, some white — gathered around Punch. A few feet away, another doctor, a trauma nurse and a medical student stood near tables stacked with sections of "pool noodles," the long foam cylinders kids play with in swimming pools. These noodles happened to be about the width of a human arm.

Participants listen to Dr. Laurie Punch, a trauma surgeon at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, as she teaches a "Stop the Bleed" class in November in St. Louis. Attendees learn far more than how to staunch a hemorrhage, Punch says. They also start to identify as helpers.
Punch explained to the class that a person can bleed to death in a minute, but an ambulance can take 15 minutes to arrive.
"If you can stop the bleed, you can save a life," she said. "Time is life and minutes matter."
Participants practiced packing wounds by pressing gauze into holes in the pool noodles. They tightened tourniquets — first on the foam cylinders, then on each other.
Punch knows one of the doctors who created these trainings after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. She realized the same trainings could save lives after street shootings, too.
Project manager Erica Jones demonstrates how to properly apply pressure to a wound, during a Stop the Bleed class in St. Louis. The program teaches the public how to care for a gunshot victim immediately following the trauma.
Since March 2018, she and her team have trained more than 7,000 community members in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Many come to a rented St. Louis space Punch has dubbed "The T" (for trauma, tourniquet and time), but her team has also held classes in schools, a juvenile detention center and a firing range.
"It's far more than teaching people what to do," Punch says. "They learn: 'I am not simply a victim or a perpetrator or an observer; I'm a helper. I have the capacity to help.' "
Contagious healing
Stan Schloesser, center, practices using a tourniquet, with assistance from project manager Erica Jones during the November "Stop the Bleed" class. If you can stop the bleed, you can save a life," students learn.
Two years ago, Sidney Taylor was shot outside his brother's comedy club in North St. Louis County while trying to help a friend who was drunk. When Taylor, a father for four, arrived at Punch's hospital, profuse bleeding had left his blood pressure dangerously low.
Taylor nearly died on the operating table, but Punch and her team pulled him back.
After 10 days in intensive care, the longtime wrestling coach was still in physical and mental agony.
That's the point when many patients slip back to their communities unhealed. But Taylor, now 47, showed up in Punch's clinic a month after he had been shot, and they bonded during a 25-minute visit. Punch described to him how her team had removed part of his lung and inserted a breathing tube.
"Wow," he told her. "I have another chance at life."
Punch mulled a thought, then asked, "Would you ever want to share your story?"
Taylor agreed.
Punch recruited Taylor's hospital caregivers to create a video of their memories of saving him. When the taping finished, Taylor hugged each one.
Punch uses the video during talks, sometimes inviting Taylor to join her. Giving back to the community in that way has saved him a second time, he says.
After getting shot, "I could've basically turned to the dark side and done straight revenge," Taylor says. "But I didn't because of her."

Knowing that your teenager is on drugs is traumatizing, but it is good. You can take the necessary steps to help your young one recover from the deadly habit. Parents feel like they have failed to bring up their children in the right away. In some cases parents are to blame, especially if they use drugs. However, there are many instances where one tries to caution a teenager about the dangers of drug use but peer pressure proves to be too much.
One has to relax and stay strong for the teenager. Blame will just destroy the two of you. There are external forces that point fingers at you, but if you go to a professional center you will be given a clear analysis of teenagers and drugs and how they can be helped. Inpatient treatment centers have programs that can work very well for this age group.
You should not think of yourself as the cause of the problem. Your teenager is the one who has a problem. If you carry the burden, the young person will not take any responsibility. It begins with convincing the young person that there is a problem that has to be handled. You should let him or her know that he or she has to go to treatment. You should not blame him or her.
It is important to keep your anger under control and to not force him or her to undergo treatment. You may want to involve the teenager in the search for the center. This way, you can be surer that the individual will be cooperative towards the idea of treatment. It is ideal for you and them to opt for an inpatient treatment center.
The program that is chosen for the teenager should be accredited by regulatory bodies. It is hard to know about certified facilities if you do not do your research. The government has provided a list of the facilities that are approved to practice.
Some patients have been to the wrong types of centers for their needs. They end up blaming the service providers for their poor choice. For your teenager to recover fully, you should search for a qualified professional facility. You want one of the best outpatient or inpatient treatment centers so you know you are sending them to a good program.
You can go in advance and see how work is done at this facility. You have to make sure that the teenager is able to see how professional the institution is. Once the person connects with the facility, the rest is easy. You can even have orientation with the teenager.
Drug addicts do not like to be controlled or prohibited from using drugs. The inpatient treatment centers have planned programs from the day the teenager enters the center to aftercare once they are out of the facility.

A HORRIFIC RECURRING NIGHTMARE IS THREATENING TO STEAL HER SANITY… Dr. Corinne Cabot is living the American dream. She's a successful ER physician in Chicago who's married to a handsome husband. Together they live in a charming house in the suburbs. But appearances can be deceiving—and what no one can see is Corinne's dark past. Troubling gaps in her memory mean she recalls little about a haunting event in her life years ago that changed everything. She remembers only being in the house the night two people were found murdered. Her father was there, too. Now her father is in prison; she hasn't been in contact in years. Repressing that terrifying memory has caused Corinne moments of paranoia and panic. Sometimes she thinks she sees things that aren't there, hears words that haven't been spoken. Or have they? She fears she may be losing her mind, unable to determine what's real and what's not. So when she senses her husband's growing distance, she thinks she's imagining things. She writes her suspicions off to fatigue, overwork, anything to explain what she can't accept—that her life really isn't what it seems.

Handbook Of Religion And Health
Author : Harold Koenig
Genre : Body, Mind & Spirit
Format : PDF, ePub, Docs
The Handbook of Religion and Health has become the seminal research text on religion, spirituality, and health, outlining a rational argument for the connection between religion and health. The Second Edition completely revises and updates the first edition. Its authors are physicians: a psychiatrist and geriatrician, a primary care physician, and a professor of nursing and specialist in mental health nursing. The Second Edition surveys the historical connections between religion and health and grapples with the distinction between the terms ''religion'' and ''spirituality'' in research and clinical practice. It reviews research on religion and mental health, as well as extensive research literature on the mind-body relationship, and develops a model to explain how religious involvement may impact physical health through the mind-body mechanisms. It also explores the direct relationships between religion and physical health, covering such topics as immune and endocrine function, heart disease, hypertension and stroke, neurological disorders, cancer, and infectious diseases; and examines the consequences of illness including chronic pain, disability, and quality of life. Finally, the Handbook reviews research methods and addresses applications to clinical practice. Theological perspectives are interwoven throughout the chapters. The Handbook is the most insightful and authoritative resource available to anyone who wants to understand the relationship between religion and health.
Author : Sarah Tomlinson
Genre : Biography & Autobiography
Format : PDF, ePub
"Forthright, sensitive, and compelling" (Edan Lepucki, New York Times bestselling author of California), this heartrending memoir from journalist Sarah Tomlinson recounts her unconventional upbringing and coming-of-age as colored by her complicated relationship with her father. Sarah Tomlinson was born on January 29, 1976, in a farmhouse in Freedom, Maine. After two years of attempted family life in Boston, her father's gambling addiction and broken promises led her mother to pool her resources with five other families to buy 100 acres of land in Maine and reunite with her college boyfriend. Sarah would spend the majority of her childhood on "The Land" with infrequent, but coveted, visits from her father, who—as a hitchhiking, acid-dropping, wannabe mystic turned taxi driver—was nothing short of a rock star in her eyes. Propelled out of her bohemian upbringing to seek the big life she equated with her father, Sarah entered college at fifteen, where a school shooting further complicated her quest for a sense of safety. While establishing herself as a journalist and rock critic on both coasts, Sarah's father continued to swerve in and out of her life, building and re-breaking their relationship, and fracturing Sarah's confidence and sense of self. In this unforgettable memoir, Sarah conveys the dark comedy in her quest to repair the heart her father broke. Bittersweet, honest, and ultimately redemptive, Good Girl takes an insightful look into what happens when the people we love unconditionally are the people who disappoint us the most, and how time, introspection, and acceptance can help us heal.

At this year's edition of the International Festival of Animated Films in Annecy, France (June 10-15, 2013) the RISD community was well represented. Two RISD FAV faculty had works in the main competition for short films: "Feral" by Daniel Sousa ('94) and "Fight" by Steven Subotnick. "Feral" was awarded three times by three different juries: the prestigious FIPRESCI (International Association of Film Critics) Special Distinction, the Junior Jury Award for a short film, and the Festivals Connexion Award. Anne Beal ('12) had her movie "Balance and Swing" in the graduation film competition. Marcin Gizycki (Senior Lecturer, HAVC) was a member of the FIPRESCI jury. Founded in 1960 the Festival is the oldest and arguably the most important festival of this kind in the world.

I printed the second page of our Psalm 23 Bible Verse Tracer for the boys to work on this week.
This week we read about Jesus' death and resurrection. Afterwards, the kids made angel sun catchers.
We taped them to the playroom window, but we haven't had much sunlight lately.
We worked on our Advent lessons over Christmas break and will continue to add any remaining items to our "WINTER wreath" during January! It's like the scent of Christmas lingering in the home.
We read Jesus and the Rich Young Man and talked about how the young man wasn't willing to give up his riches. We talked about the beauty of generosity.
I gave the kids some M&Ms and asked them to divide them equally.
Haley added candy to our wreath that day!
We started our forgiveness lesson by making soft pretzels.
Jordan is my go-to chef. He gathered the ingredients.
He measured and added them in the bread maker, and we set it on the "dough" cycle.
Later that evening, we read the Bible story about the two debtors. We talked about having a "soft" heart, like our soft pretzels, and forgiving others like Jesus forgave us. Jordan added a pretzel to our wreath.
We continued lapbooking around the world with Kate and Mack. This week we were learning about Russia.
Everyone was a bit bummed Christmas was over. I brought a little Christmas cheer to the table in the morning!
December 7th is the day children in Russia celebrate Christmas! Everyone had little goody bags to open!
The kids created their snowflakes while I read the story aloud.
This was a wonderful way to add a dash of fun on our first day back from Christmas break.
Later the boys colored their Russian flags and sketched elements from this weeks reading.
I created a Read, and Color worksheet for our I Can Read It Lesson #18.
Parker used many dot paint colors for this week's Christmas themed worksheet!
This week Parker was learning about using apostrophes used in contractions. I printed a copy of our Hot Cocoa Contractions pack.
First, Parker matched the marshmallow words with the hot cocoa contractions.
Later in the week, Parker completed another Hot Cocoa Contractions worksheet.
This week I made a Wanna Build a Snowman? Build-a-Word worksheet for Parker.
I created a Winter Owl Vowels pack for Parker to work on matching the middle vowel sounds.
You can purchase it here at our TPT Store. There's a bonus FREEbie in the Preview!
Next, I laid out our Owl Vowel cards and gave him the stack of CVC snowflake picture cards. He said each word and sorted them by the middle vowel sound.
I created a January Calendar page for the boys to work on.
First, they numbered their 2019 January calendar.
Then they answered a series of January-related questions.
This week we started our new science book about the human body.
Just for fun, we brought out our human bodies we made during our FIAR Madeline Row last year.
They practiced using their "brain" to control the digestion process as well as telling their lungs to breath :).
We brought out our tub of Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty after school for some sensory play.
I opened up our Usborne Human Body book as a reference and we all made little cells.
It's fun to sit around the table, chat and play. I seem to always be on the go, cleaning and picking up after school, but it's fun to slow down and enjoy these moments while we can.
Everyone joined in on this activity and even asked to bring them out the next day too!
Hot Cocoa wasn't REALLY part of our Sonlight curriculum this week, but I wanted to incorporate it as a fun science activity that Parker could use for his creative writing assignment this week.
This is a fun chemical reaction that your kids may not suspect as being a science experiment and can be a cute and festive "prank" to pull ;). I layered the bottom of a mug with baking soda then added a layer of hot cocoa over the top. I used a flavor no one liked, so not to "waste" any precious hot chocolate! I served it on a plate with a spoon and a dispenser of hot water (laced with citric acid instead of vinegar, so no one would suspect anything).
"Um, that's weird." was about the response he got when he saw his mug erupting with cocoa bubbles.
Then he started giggling and laughing as he added more "water" and it REALLY erupted!
And again with his big sister, who knew it was coming, but still played along.
He typed it up all by himself and we reviewed it together. He really took his time writing an introduction then putting down each step of the process. Great job Parks!
Looking forward to more fun next week!

The most talked about event of the year has arrived: BOOM! The Cosmic Benefit! Celebrate Jack Lenor Larsen, founder of LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, and his 90th birthday at the annual LongHouse fundraiser on Saturday, July 22 from 6 to 11 p.m. This year's benefit will highlight honoree Cai Guo-Quiang, honoree and Guggenhiem curator Alexandra Munroe, and electric sitar performer Mohsen Namjoo aka "the Persian Bob Dylan." Don't miss performances by guitarist Gian Carlo Feleppa, bathing beauties the Brooklyn Peaches, and the Jamaican band Royal KhaoZ.
"The food and drink is inspired by France, Japan, Cuba and beyond. From Jamaica, India, Brazil and Persia comes a great repertoire of music and the whole place decorated in white by Jack Larsen himself," said Dianne B., LongHouse Reserve Board President. "The highlight of the night is a custom made 7 p.m. daylight art explosion by world-reknowned Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang"
Guo-Qiang is a New York-based artist and is one of the most celebrated contemporary artists originating from China. He is known for a remarkable new kind of fireworks spectacles which he calls "explosion events." By taking gunpowder, which is one of China's Four Great Inventions, Guo-Qiang led the way in a new impressive form of art that is substantial and metaphorical. His fireworks represent nature, culture, life, and death.
Munroe has led the Guggenheim's Asian Art Initiative since its founding in 2006 while also working on the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi Museum Project and the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative. She convenes the museum's biannual Asian Art Council, a curatorial think tank, and heads The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative. As senior advisor, global arts, Munroe helps to guide the foundation's intellectual and institutional agendas for expanding its purview to study, acquire, and exhibit art from beyond the Western World. You can visit Munroe's exhibition Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World at New York Guggenheim Fall 2018.

Namjoo combines transcendent classical Persian rhythms with blues, folk music, and rock and roll. He composes, sings, teaches, acts, and plays several instruments, including the electric guitar and the traditional Persian lute, the sitar. He composed the score for last month's controversial production of Hamlet at the Sheen Center and starred in the film Radio Dreams, which won the Tiger Award at the International Film Festival in Rotterdam.
LongHouse Reserve is a 16-acre reserve and sculpture garden located in East Hampton that features pieces from Buckminster Fuller, Yoko Ono, and William de Kooning, just to name a few. The Reserve exemplifies living with art in all forms. Larsen acquired the property in 1975 and he has laid out an entrance drive lined with majestic cryptomerias, established lawns and ornamental borders, and defined major spaces as settings for plant collections and sculptures.
Tickets begin at $1,250. Contemporaries tickets are available for $650 for LongHouse Contemporaries Members (21-35).
LongHouse Reserve is located at 133 Hands Creek Road in East Hampton. For more information and to purchase tickets, call 631-329-3568 or visit www.longhouse.org.

Flamenco dancer Michiyo Ando's lessons provide seniors with mental stimulation and fun.
"What are these?" Looking at a pair of shell-shaped pieces of wood, joined on one edge by a string, Katsuko Elegino asked with a mystified look.
"These are percussion musical instruments, called castanets. Tie the string around your thumb, hold them in your hands, and tap with your fingers to make sounds," Michiyo Ando, a Japanese flamenco dancer, answered.
Michiyo Ando, right, teaches Katsuko Elegino, who is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, how to play castanets.
Katsuko carefully examined Michiyo's demonstration and tapped the castanets with her fingers. As soon as she heard the loud, dry, high-pitched, exciting sound of castanets, the deeper lines drawn between her eyebrows disappeared. "Did I do it right?" She had a big grin on her face.
It was about seven years ago when Katsuko was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Over the years, her symptoms have progressed from minor concerns like repeating herself to severe disorientation, such as being unable to find her way home after a brief walk in her neighborhood.
Dealing with the loss of memories, Katsuko felt confused, uneasy, and anxious. Family members have noticed that she rarely smiles now since her diagnosis. Hoping it would give her a chance to have some fun, the Eleginos asked Michiyo to give her castanet lessons.
Michiyo, who teaches flamenco to the general public, also has experience teaching castanets to seniors with Alzheimer's disease. She has witnessed the positive impact that the power of music has on this population in terms of comfort, healing, and fun.
"Castanets are simple instruments to play by just tapping. Depending on the clients' age, physical capacity, and musical ability, it is easy to adjust the level. Using all of your fingers to play is also a good exercise," Michiyo explained.
Her top priority is to teach to the clients' abilities, making the most of what they have left. "People suffering from Alzheimer's oftentimes feel insecure about themselves due to their diminishing independence and fading memories. Realizing what they can do brings them confidence and joy. That means a lot to them," Michiyo said.
Katsuko's daughter-in-law, Jinko, noticed that her mother-in-law lights up with a beautiful smile during her castanet sessions with Michiyo.
"We as family members are conditioned to have a negative response to her behaviors every time she does something 'wrong,' but a third person can see her positive sides," Jinko said.
Michiyo understands the frustration that the family members have been enduring. Her mother, who lives in Kumamoto Prefecture, has also been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for the past four years.
"Family members who give care every day tend to focus too much on diminishing abilities. So as an outsider, I'd like to emphasize to them what Katsuko still can do through music," said Michiyo.
A week later, Katsuko begins her next session by asking the same question she'd pondered before: "What are these?" "These are percussion musical instruments, called castanets…," Michiyo explains as if it were the first time.
Seeing flamenco castanets makes people happy, gives them confidence and joy. "I'm so grateful that my beloved flamenco can also be valuable to others in a different way," said Michiyo.
"Flamenco requires dancers to express and expose deeper inner emotions, which is difficult, especially for Japanese people who grew up appearing stoic. But once you break the wall, all the creativity that you've hidden starts to overflow and expand your mind," said Michiyo, also known as Mikaela Kai.
Fourteen years ago, she fell in love with flamenco. It took five years for her to be able to comfortably express her emotions through one of the most passionate dances, but now she is fascinated by the rich expressive possibilities this art form offers her.
When she was in her 20s, she flew to Spain many times on business and enjoyed watching flamenco performances in Madrid and Barcelona. She even studied Spanish history and language, but for some reason, the thought of learning flamenco never crossed her mind.
Ten years passed. After moving to Los Angeles, one of her friends invited her to join a belly dancing class. There, she heard familiar music, rhythms, and steps from the classroom next door — it was flamenco. It all resonated with her.
Ever since, she has received professional lessons from Yolanda Arroyo, one of the best-known flamenco dancers in Los Angeles.
Her love of flamenco grows deeper every time she performs. Her next performance will be with Arroyo and others on Sunday, Oct. 19, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Electric Lodge Performing Arts Center, 1416 Electric Ave. in Venice. Admission is $23 in advance, $25 at the door. For tickets, contact Corina del Sol by phone at (310) 827-5908 or by email or click here to purchase online.
Michiyo's castanet sessions start from $20 for 20 minutes at her Gardena studio, 16418 S. Western Ave., Unit A. House calls can be arranged. She also teaches flamenco dance classes to all ages. For more info, call (310) 874-3363, email or visit her website.

Campaign Finance Roundup
Connor Flotten, an American Promise Research Associate, has the roundup you need to stay on top of fast-evolving corruption, election spending, and reform news.
Another week, another set of stories about how our elections are being bought out from under us and all that matters is fundraising and the donor class. I know it gets frustrating writing these, as important as it is to shine a spotlight on what's happening, and I hope that they get you fired up too. But, starting this week, I'm also going to be offering solutions on what you can do to channel that righteous anger into something that will help solve these problems.
Two anonymous $425 million donations give dark money conservative group a massive haul
From POLITICO:
No big deal, just a couple anonymous donations totaling almost a billion dollars. Normal stuff, normal amounts of money. And totally anonymous, too, so whoever is throwing around that much money to boost conservative causes gets to do so without any accountability at all. Groups like DonorsTrust, which received the donations, have been likened to an "ATM for dark money groups." Oh, and the donations were tax-deductible too, because of course they were.
Megadonor no more: Sam Bankman-Fried spent his way into the good graces of Washington then lost it all
From OpenSecrets:
Sam Bankman-Fried, the 6th biggest individual donor of 2022 who gave more than $38 million to outside spending groups, mostly supporting Democrats, had pledged to give up to $1 billion in 2024. At least, until his FTX cryptocurrency exchange imploded in spectacular fashion earlier this month (on Election Day itself, ironically), leading to "one of the largest ever single-day collapses among billionaires" as SBF's $16 billion fortune was wiped out almost overnight.
SBF had claimed that his political donations had nothing to do with influencing government regulation on the crypto industry (like the sort of regulations that might stop an exchange from gambling customer deposits on volatile investments), but also admitted that "everyone should always be skeptical" of donor motives. Not that anyone would ever try to buy political influence to dodge regulation.
FTX billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried funneled dark money to Republicans
From The Guardian:
Sam Bankman-Fried wasn't just bankrolling Democratic candidates and causes. In his first full interview after FTX's bankruptcy, SBF admitted that, in addition to his public donations to Democrats, he also gave significant amounts of money to Republicans as well. It's just that our campaign finance system allows donors to give millions of dollars in secret, if they want, and he didn't want to deal with public scrutiny for his donations. If I didn't want to be criticized for spending millions of dollars on campaign donations I would simply spend my money on anything else, but I suppose that's why I'm not the sort of business genius who can lose $16 billion in one day.
Arizona voters back ballot measure taking aim at 'dark money'
From The Washington Post:
And now for a bit of good news! Voters in AZ have passed an anti-"dark money" ballot measure with an overwhelming 73% of the vote. The measure would require any group that spends more than $50,000 in statewide races or $25,000 in other races to disclose any donors who give more than $5,000. This comes after similar successes in Alaska and North Dakota to strengthen disclosure rules and ban contributions from foreign governments and corporations. Americans are sick of the unaccountable dark money system dominating our elections, and we're starting to fight back in our states.
Incumbents and top fundraisers largely victorious in costly elections for attorney general
2022 featured the 3rd most expensive set of elections for attorney general, with candidates raising more than $161 million and breaking fundraising records in 9 states. In every election but one, the candidate who raised the most money won. It's almost like you need money to compete in elections, how odd. And with more and more state and local elections becoming the target of national spending groups deploying millions of dollars, it's swiftly becoming impossible to run for anything without the favor of massive donor networks
Spend big, win big: 96% of U.S. House races won by the biggest spender
Continuing the trend of "biggest pile of money wins," OpenSecrets analysis has found that the biggest spender won 96% of House races in the 2022 midterms. In several key races where Republicans were expected to flip Democratic-held seats, the Democratic incumbents managed to hold on, in part due to their access to millions of dollars of donors and PAC money.
At this point, why even bother with the "election" part? Just have the candidates compare bank accounts.
Boebert gets new FEC warning letter
From The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO3) had better watch out! The FEC has sent her another warning letter for possible campaign finance violations, as she has alleged accepted almost $10,000 worth of donations over the legal limit for individual contributions. This letter comes on the heels of a warning letter in May claiming her campaign accepted $30,000 in excess donations, and another from October 2021 that claimed her year-end report didn't balance out, even after 3 amended filings. Boebert has 60 days to correct her latest warning, and she had better watch out, or else the FEC might send her a fourth letter! That'll really show her!
With new campaign fund, Mayor Lori Lightfoot's allies are raising cash outside city ethics rules limits
From the Chicago Tribune
Technically ethical is the best kind of ethical, I always say. And Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot appears to agree, as her allies have founded a campaign fund that is allowed to ignore legal and ethical limits placed on Lightfoot's actual reelection campaign. The 77 Committee, as it's called, is able to raise unlimited funds, including from city contractors who are otherwise prohibited from donation to Lightfoot's campaign or associated PACs. The Committee is run by a longtime top Lightfoot adviser, and has claimed that it "has the support of the Lightfoot for Chicago campaign," but it's not technically associated with the campaign, so it doesn't count!
Angry? Here's what you can do:
Protect Maine Elections:
If you're sick of the unending political ads and outside interference in our elections, volunteer for the American Promise Protect Maine Elections ballot initiative at protectmaineelections.com, or send them a contribution at protectmaineelections.nationbuilder.com/donate2, so they can get us back on track. The initiative would block foreign interference in Maine's ballot elections and call on our federal delegation to pass a Constitutional amendment to get money out of politics.
As a Mainer, seriously, I can't take another election cycle full of ads from America and Canada.
Secure Candidate Pledges:It's easy to get angry at our elected officials for taking money from wealthy donors and ignoring the issues that matter most to us. And don't get me wrong, a lot of the time they deserve it. But it's important to remember that they work for us, and to give them a chance to prove that they're committed to that ideal. Get your elected officials and candidates to sign the American Promise Candidate Pledge, affirming that they'll use their office to advance the For Our Freedom Amendment and fight for We the People, not money.

20 Ford Mustangs That Kept The Legend Alive This Century
By Vukasin Herbez
Even though the Ford Mustang is on top of its game as the best-selling and most popular pony/muscle car out there, Ford has a great responsibility to keep it in the leading position. Domestic competitors like the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro are all aiming at the same market and same customers. But Ford knows the importance and power of Mustangs and is investing heavily in its development, engine range, and performance.
Today, we look at the top 20 modern Mustangs that captivate the public imagination, create controversy, and bring performance to auto enthusiasts in America and beyond. Many classic Mustangs have gone up in value this year, but these are the pony cars of the current time. They are future collectibles that pushed the envelope and further established the Mustang name for the current generation of car enthusiasts.
20. 2020 Mustang EcoBoost High-Performance Package
Most of the attention of the motoring press and Mustang enthusiasts is directed to the higher end of the model range. Yet there is one immensely interesting Mustang that has just been released and has blazed its way in the model lineup. It is the Mustang EcoBoost High-Performance Package – a 2.3-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder with a twist.
If you don't know what it is, think of it as a cross between Ford Focus RS and Mustang. You have a Mustang's design but the engine from Focus RS with 332 hp and special handling package, which makes all the difference. Also, there are a few subtle visual enhancements and badging.
The EcoBoost High-Performance Package is quicker to 60 mph, but it retains the same 155 mph top speed as the rest of the EcoBoost Mustangs. Even though it is not the mighty GT or Shelby, it offers a lot of performance at an affordable price. It is also more refined and handles better than before as an excellent entry-level performance Mustang.

L.C. Rodrigo Abogados
Spain: Legal Highlights of Doing Business in Spain by a Foreign Investor - UPDATE of Pa
(iv) proceeds from reinsurance transactions: 4%. Income received by non-resident entities operating without a permanent establishment in the country is not deemed to be Spanish source income and, therefore, is not subject to CIT in the following cases:
i) Interest, dividends and capital gains or losses deriving from securities issued in Spain by individuals or companies without residence and permanent establishment in Spain;
ii) Interest and capital gains deriving from Debt issued by the Spanish State;
iii) Interest and capital gains deriving from movable property (e.g., shares, bonds, etc.) received by entities with residence in any EC country. This benefit does not apply to capital gains stemming from sales of shares, participations or other rights in a Spanish company or entity in the following cases:
(iii.1) if the assets of such company, juridical person or entity consist principally, directly or indirectly, of immovable property located in Spain;
(iii.2) if the tax payer has held 25% or more of the share capital of such company, juridical person or entity within the period of 12 months prior to sale.
The foregoing does not apply to interest or capital gains deriving from Spanish public debt and moveable property obtained by entities through countries or territories which by regulation are deemed to be tax havens (see list in footnote 35).
Non-resident entities not operating through a permanent establishment in Spain are also required to appoint representatives for CIT purposes in Spain. The appointment must be notified to the Tax Department within two months following the date of the appointment. Non-compliance with these obligations may result in fines being imposed ranging from 25,000 to 2,000,000 pesetas (see footnote 55).
5.2 Taxation of Individuals.
Incomewise, individuals are subject to the Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas Fisicas (Personal Income Tax, or PIT) but the situation differs whether they are residents or not in Spain, and in the latter case whether they obtain income in the country through a permanent establishment or not.
5.2.1 Residents in Spain
As the fiscal section of these articles is intended above all for non-residents wishing to invest in Spain but who do not intend to take up residence in this country, a very general description of PIT as applicable to resident individuals is made herein.
An individual is deemed to be a resident for PIT purposes if he remains in Spain for more than 183 days in one calendar year. He is thus liable to PIT under so called personal obligation. This means that he will be liable to income tax for all income received from Spain and elsewhere, i.e., on a worldwide basis.
From fiscal 1992, an individual is also deemed to be a resident for PIT purposes if the main nucleus or the base of his professional or business activities or of his economic interests are in Spain (57). It will be presumed that, unless proved otherwise, the taxpayer has his/her habitual residence on Spanish territory, when his/her not legally separated spouse and dependant underage children usually live in Spain.
From fiscal 1992, capital gains are taxed as "irregular" income whenever the assets from the sale of which the capital gains arise have been acquired by the seller at least one year before. The amount of the capital gains arising from assets acquired at least two years before the date of transfer will be determined according to the following rules:
(i) as a general rule, the capital gain will be reduced by 7.14% for each year exceeding two that the asset transferred was in the possession of the seller;
(ii) in the case of listed shares (with the exception of securities investment companies' shares), the capital gain will be reduced by 11.11% for each year exceeding two that the shares transferred were in the possession of the seller;
(iii) in the case of immovable property, rights over same or shares of companies whose assets are made up of real property in at least 50%, the capital gain will be reduced by 5.26% for each year exceeding two that the property or the shares transferred were in the possession of the seller;
Capital gains are exempt whenever the assets referred in items (i), (ii) and (iii) remain in the possession of the seller during more than 15, 10 or 20 years, respectively.
The purchase cost is made up of a number of items (real price paid, investments and improvements made in the assets and expenses and taxes paid by the buyer, if any). The difference between the purchase cost and the sale price agreed by the parties (or the "market" value should this be higher), reduced as indicated above, is the taxable base.
There are special rules for establishing the capital gains. The main ones concern listed and unlisted shares. Capital gains deriving from the sale of listed shares or participations in companies are established by the difference between the acquisition cost and the transfer price as determined by the relevant quotation on the closing date or the price agreed between the parties if such price were higher.
Capital gains deriving from the sale of unlisted shares or participations in companies are established by the difference between the acquisition cost and the price effectively received by seller. If such price is not deemed to be at arms' length, the Tax Authorities will take as transfer price the highest of the following: (i) the book value, as it results from the latest balance sheet approved; and (ii) the value resulting from the capitalization at the rate of 12.5% of the average profits made in the last three fiscal years.
For fiscal 1995 (58), individuals are not required to file a tax return if their income stemming from personal work, or made up of interest, dividends and capital gains, is less than 1,100,000 pesetas in total, although interest, dividends and capital gains combined cannot exceed 250,000 pesetas gross per year. In the event that husband and wife have chosen to file separate tax returns, the rates start at 20% and go up to 56% for 9,885,000 pesetas or more. If husband and wife have chosen to file a joint return, the above mentioned threshold goes up to 1,200,000 pesetas. In this case, the rates start at 20% and go up to 56% for 11,387,000 pesetas or more. PIT recognizes a number of rebates, allowances and reductions. PIT is closely connected to Wealth Tax (see concept and scale in 4.3.2.2 above) in that the total liability under PIT and Wealth Tax cannot exceed 70% of the taxable base under PIT.
5.2.2 Non-residents in Spain
5.2.2.1 Operating in Spain without a permanent establishment. PIT is levied on all Spanish source income received by non-resident individuals who do not act in Spain by means of a permanent establishment. Non-residents are also subject to Wealth Tax as explained above (see 4.3.2.2).
Similarly to foreign companies, an individual is deemed to have a permanent establishment in Spain whenever he has in the Spanish territory headquarters, branches, offices, factories, workshops, installations, warehouses, shops or other establishments; construction, installation or assembly projects lasting for more than 12 months, agencies or representative offices which are authorized to contract in his name, or mines, quarries, gas or oil wells, farming, cattle and timber businesses or any other place intended for extraction of natural resources, or if he performs professional or artistic activities or has other places of business where he performs his activity in whole or in part.
Consequently, an individual would not be receiving income by means of a permanent establishment in Spain, but without one, if he does not fall in any of the situations listed above.
The foregoing concept of permanent establishment has been laid down by Spanish tax law. If the particular case falls within the scope of one of the many treaties signed by Spain to avoid double taxation, the concept "permanent establishment" as laid down in the applicable treaty would prevail. Generally, the concepts are very similar.
Applicable tax rates to income obtained without a permanent establishment are:
(i) The general rate applicable to dividends, interest, commissions, etc. is 25%; in the case of services, technical assistance, assembly and installation projects related to engineering contracts, and in general the carrying out of business in Spain without a permanent establishment, the 25% rate will be applied to the difference between the gross income and certain deductible expenses (personnel and materials employed or incorporated in construction or assembly);
(ii) the rate applicable to participations in general expenses which for these purposes are regarded as income received by the "parent company" (in this case the individual): 14%;
(iii) pensions not exceeding 1,500,000 pesetas: 8%;
(iv) salaries earned by employees working for Spanish Embassies and Consulates outside Spain, provided such employees are not subject to PIT under so called personal obligation and international treaties providing otherwise are inapplicable: 8%;
(v) capital gains (so called increases in wealth) are subject to a flat 35% rate. Capital gains are to be determined in accordance with the general provisions of PIT. For fiscal 1992 and thereafter, the fiscal regime is very similar to the one described in Section 4.2.1 above. The amount of the capital gains arising from assets acquired at least two years before the date of transfer will be determined according to the following rules:
(v. i) as a general rule, the capital gain will be reduced by 7.14% for each year exceeding two that the asset transferred was in the possession of the seller;
(v.2) in the case of listed shares (with the exception of investment companies' shares), the capital gain will be reduced by 11.11% for each year exceeding two that the shares transferred were in the possession of the seller;
(v.3) in the case of immovable property, rights over same or shares of companies whose assets are made up of real property in at least 50%, the capital gain will be reduced by 5.26% for each year exceeding two that the property or the shares transferred were in the possession of the seller.

Conquests releases The Finisher Jan. 25 | Drink. Blog. Repeat.
Mark your calendars: Columbia's Conquest will release The Finisher, its highly desired 17.5% imperial stout, on Saturday, January 25.
Conquest has long-planned to release the massive imperial stout – brewed with brown sugar and honey and fermented with champagne yeast – around the time of its first anniversary. And after fermenting for a few months, the beer will soon be bottled and readied for sale at a special release party.
Due to state law, the beer cannot legally be sold on draft, so it'll be released in 22 oz. bombers only. If you've been to the Conquest tasting room, you've seen the design for the label artwork (affectionately known as "Angry Jesus") looming over the bar. No word yet on per-person bottle limits or how many bottles will be available.
The beer's name comes from the eponymous track by metal band Oh, Sleeper. The brewery recently received approval from the band to use the song's lyrics on the label artwork.
In addition to the release of The Finisher, Conquest will also debut its 10.5% Brutus imperial stout and possibly another unannounced new release. Plus, there will be a food truck rodeo featuring nearly every mobile food vendor in the Capital City.
Find more details about the event here.

Saudi Arabia: Women's Rights Promises Broken
Evidence Shows Male Permission Still Being Required for Surgery, Travel
Share this via Facebook Share this via Twitter Share this via WhatsApp Share this via Email Other ways to share Share this via LinkedIn Share this via Reddit Share this via Telegram Share this via Printer
(New York) - Saudi officials continue to require women to obtain permission from male guardians to conduct their most basic affairs, like traveling or receiving medical care, despite government assertions that no such requirements exist, Human Rights Watch said today. The government made its assertions most recently in June 2009, to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.
Saudi Al-Watan newspaper reported on July 2 that Saudi doctors have confirmed that Health Ministry regulations still require a woman to obtain permission from her male guardian to undergo elective surgery. In late June, Saudi border guards at the Bahrain crossing refused to allow the renowned women's rights activist Wajeha al-Huwaider to leave the country because she did not have her guardian's permission, al-Huwaider told Human Rights Watch.
"The Saudi government is saying one thing to the Human Rights Council in Geneva but doing another thing inside the kingdom," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "It needs to stop requiring adult women to seek permission from men, not just pretend to stop it."
Human Rights Watch documented in an April 2008 report, Perpetual Minors, the impact of the "guardianship" system, which requires Saudi women to obtain permission from male guardians before they can carry out a host of day-to-day activities, such as education, employment, travel, opening a bank account, or receiving medical care. The report demonstrated the negative consequences for women whose guardians - fathers, husbands, brothers or male children - refused to give such permission. Similarly, the Al-Watan article pointed out the dire situation of women living in discord with husbands who refuse to grant them a divorce.
The government itself has repeatedly denied the existence of such guardianship requirements under Islamic law. Most recently, at its review before the UN Human Rights Council in June, Saudi Arabia stated that any purported Shari'a concept of male guardianship over women is not a legal requirement in the kingdom, and that "Islam guarantees a woman's right to conduct her affairs and enjoy her legal capacity." The Health Ministry specifically denied any requirement for a guardian's permission for women seeking surgery, in response both to Human Rights Watch in March 2008 and, again, to Al-Watan in July 2009.
Evidence obtained by Human Rights Watch and Al-Watan indicates that such permission is a requirement, however. For its 2008 report, Human Rights Watch spoke to four physicians and two women who confirmed the need for a guardian's permission. A clinical psychologist told Human Rights Watch, "If a [pregnant] woman comes in to the hospital with a guardian, then she can leave with anyone, even the driver. If she comes in without a guardian, it becomes a "police case," and she'll need a guardian to come to the hospital in order for her to get discharged. She stays here if no one picks her up." The Al-Watan article cited four doctors, including surgeons, who confirmed the requirement of a male guardian's consent for a woman to undergo surgery.
"Saudi Arabia continues to treat women as perpetual minors by refusing to allow them to make decisions about their own health," said Whitson. "In Saudi Arabia, men get to decide how healthy a woman can be."
It appears that the government also continues to insist that Saudi women obtain a male guardian's permission to travel. Al-Huwaider tested the government's assertion at the Human Rights Council that guardianship was not a legal requirement by travelling to the Saudi-Bahraini border on three separate occasions, on June 25, 26, and 27, without the traditional guardian approval document. However, border guards turned her back each time and prevented her from leaving the kingdom because, they explained, she had no permission from her guardian, Huwaider told Human Rights Watch.
Through its ratification of the UN Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) in 2001, Saudi Arabia assumed the obligation to take action to end discrimination against women in all its forms. The convention obliges Saudi Arabia "to pursue by all appropriate means and without delay a policy of eliminating discrimination against women," including "any distinction, exclusion or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by women ... of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field."
Article 12 of the convention obliges states to "take all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women in the field of health care in order to ensure, on a basis of equality of men and women, access to health care services, including those related to family planning." Article 15(4) obliges states to "accord to men and women the same rights with regard to the law relating to the movement of persons and the freedom to choose their residence and domicile."

Q: Sendmail Postfix long delays I am using PHP's mail function to send messages to the users of an application.
But I have been getting reports that some people don't receive them, and that others have arrived up to a couple of hours later.
So I was looking through /var/log/maillog, where I came across this message a lot:
postfix/smtp[22966]: connect to mx1.hotmail.com[65.55.37.104]:25: Connection timed out.

There were a lot of delays over 1000 sec in the log.
I have checked the firewall settings, and there are no rules stopping port 25, and this problem is not consistent, some emails go out fine, while others are sent with a long delay, and others are not sent at all.
Any suggestions for what to try next?
Running on CentOS 6.5.

A: From what you describe, it sounds like some of the remote mail servers that you are sending to could be greylisting your mail server, perhaps because it thinks that your mail server could be a spammer.
To see if your mail server has a glaring problem that would cause other mail servers to think it's a spammer, try sending a message from your mail server to check-auth@verifier.port25.com. This service will do a bunch of checks, and you'll get a report back with ton of information, such whether or not your mail server's DNS is setup correctly, whether your mail server's IP is on any black lists, if you have a problem with your SPF records, etc.
