RU 486/THE INTERVIEW
"What civilisation? Chemical abortion led me into a dreadful deception."
"I was told 'it'll be like menstruating, but only more abundant.' Instead I found myself writhing in pain from cramps and fainting. My teeth were chattering. And after vomiting, I was totally dehydrated. When I expelled my baby I was sitting on the bidet and I flushed it down the toilet while the nurses asked me if I was finished. It was atrocious, I had nightmares for a year and then they found a fibroma tumour inside me." This dramatic story told to the Nuova Bussola Quotidiana by Natascia B., an Italian model and victim of the child-killing RU486 pill. She warns politicians who helped legalise this form of DIY abortion: "You will have an abortion at home because it is more comfortable. My doctor deceived me. With RU 486 there is nothing safe, civilised or painless." Natascia says she did it because she had never had an abortion before.
"Minister Speranza (Robert Speranza, Italy's Minister of Health), you've never had an abortion with that pill. I, on the other hand, can't forgive myself for killing my child. It's not true that the RU 486 is painless, that it's like a walk in the park. Instead it's horrible. I've suffered tremendously and you need to know that."
Regarding that terrible day last July, Natasha B. has only one sweet memory which pops up in her head every now and then: "It's a photo I took just before going to the hospital to take the pill that killed my child. It was a photo of me and on top of my belly was my cat who was the only one who wanted to snuggle up with me back then. I look at it every day because it's the only memory I have of my baby. I'd like you to publish the photo."
From Turin, Natascia B. is a 38 year old model and personal trainer. She is beautiful, with jet black eyes and long draping hair covering the great pain in her heart. It is a heart-ache she wants to overcome because, as she says, "my story must help to open up girls' eyes." The Nuova Bussola Quotidiana interviewed her after hearing her recount her experience with RU 486 at the John XXIII Association (she appears here at minute 48:00 with interviewer Andrea Mazzi). The John XXIII Association was founded by Fr. Oreste Benzi to help women during difficult pregnancies and those suffering from untreated post-abortion syndrome after the Italian Ministry of Health cleared the way to legalise the DIY RU 486 abortion procedure.
Natasha, did you feel deceived?
Yes, but last July I suffered psychological and physical violence from my partner. The doctor who recommended the pill was not a nice person.
What did she tell you?
She was trying to minimize the pill's dangers. She said, "If you were my daughter, I'd recommend it."
Didn't you understand what was going to happen to you?
I thought it was something else. Sure, I was afraid. I had googled something about it. But the physician seemed very reassuring and a bit impatient with my questions. She kept repeating to me: "But no, you'll only experience some bellyache. It will be like menstruating, but only more abundant." I didn't know what I was getting into.
The doctor said that I would expel my baby in the bidet and that I would have to flush it down the toilet... (silence). Do you know they speak about RU 486 as safe and painless enough to do it from home?
The Minister of Health spoke of the RU 486 pill as if we were taking "step forward in building up civilization"...
What Civilization? After my abortion I didn't know that I would have nightmares of children thrown in the toilet for months. I dreamed of opening the fridge, pouring myself some water and babies would come out. I didn't know I'd start suffering from panic attacks. Doesn't sound like a great civilization to me. And no one talks about post-abortion syndrome. I've seen with my own eyes, 18-year-old girls on their third abortion with RU 486. Now they talk about it as if they were going to the hairdresser.
Were you pro-abortion?
I had never asked myself that question, but I did say: "Everyone must feel free [to choose]." These are the kind of things you say when you've never gone through it. Back then I was very independent. I come from a good family. I studied. I'm an 'emancipated' woman, who they say should never have to get an abortion. All you have to do is take birth control. Then I had a health problem and I didn't have my period for six months. But the real problem was discovering I was pregnant at 37, with the wrong partner and a doctor who did nothing to dissuade me.
I'm sure if I had taken 7 days to think about it, as is recommended, I wouldn't have done it. Having more time to reflect would have helped. I would never have had a surgical abortion. But by then I was at eight weeks (the limit, before the new guidelines, was seven weeks. Now it is nine weeks). My doctor told me that I had to do it soon. I spent three days crying and trembling.
Where did it happen?
I went to Liguria, to a city where the doctor had her studio. My own gynaecologist is a conscientious objector. She would have never let me have an abortion. When I told her about everything, she cried: "Nati, why didn't you come to me? I would have helped you."
Why did you say you felt rushed?
Because, by law, she couldn't administer the pill in the 8th week. She wrote a medical evaluation saying I had psychological problems.
Didn't he tell you about the very high risks you'd face?
What risks? For the doctor, it was like taking aspirin. The more I asked her questions, the more she was like, "So, what do you do for a living? Ah... modelling? Well, of course, I understand. You have resolve this as soon as possible. Did I see you in some commercials? You are so beautiful..." What I am trying to say is that she was talking like this to distract me, so I would think about something else, while normalising the tragedy I was about to experience.
Do you feel used?
Yes. As all women are when they are told the RU 486 pill is no big deal. That it's safe, that there are no risks involved. I am very well educated, but at that time I was not thinking very clearly. I was very vulnerable. In such a state you really don't understand anything. All you can think of is finding someone to take care of you. But these doctors aren't [taking care of you], obviously. Everything happened so fast. I should have had taken seven days to think it over, yet I accelerated everything instead.
After my doctor's visit, it was a Saturday. They were supposed to wait seven days by law. Instead she disguised it as an urgent matter and sent me to the hospital after just two days. On Tuesday, I was already in the hospital ward and I took the first pill (mifepristone, which kills the fetus).
None. But the moment you swallow the pill you're perfectly aware you're killing your baby.
What about the second pill (misoprostol, which expels the fetus causing contractions and bleeding)?
I took it on the following Thursday. Again I was in the hospital ward. After 15 minutes, I started feeling nauseous and then began vomiting profusely, so much so that I became completely dehydrated. My teeth started chattering, just as loud as when it was freezing cold outside. So I called the doctor.
So what did she say?
She stood there looking at me, raising up her arms, way, "Well... that's just the way it goes. I'm so sorry...". It was atrocious.
They didn't give you anything?
Just some Brufen (Iburprofen), but I threw it up right away. I was having terrible contractions, I found myself all huddled up in pain in bed and I fainted every time I went to the bathroom.
Meanwhile, what did the medical staff do?
Every once in a while they'd come check on me and ask, "So, did the expulsion occur?" And I kept saying, "no." "Then, you're going home tonight," they said. They kept me there for an hour while I had huge pains in my lower abdomen and the only pain-relief advice they gave me was to squat on the bidet and flush hot water on my private parts. It was then that... (silence).
that I expelled the fetal sac, I think that's what you call it. I looked like red organ inside of which was a beige-coloured fetus. It was my baby. I had to pick it up and flush it down the toilet.
...I'm sorry, I don't know how to go on talking to you about this.
I was crying desperately. I recognized it very well, because it's an image that is immediately clear what it is. It was my baby who just died. A nurse came to my side and wiped my tears. Then I got dressed and wen home with the whole burden in my heart.
The guilt and the physical pain...
Do you see why they now allow women to go home after taking the pill? So even the doctors and nurses in the hospital can't witness these things. It is clear to everyone what is happening. This was the "more abundant menstruation than usual" that the doctor was talking about and what doctors describe "as a walk in the park."
What happened afterward?
It was an ordeal. I had cramps for weeks. After 10 days, the uterus hadn't cleaned itself out well. So I went to my gynaecologist in Turin. I told her everything, feeling absolutely ashamed. She received me in tears. Then she diagnosed me with a fibroma tumour and that my blood markers were often quite high.
Is that a consequence of have taken RU 486?
She was very suspicious. I certainly didn't have anything like this before.
Natascia, this a very hard story to tell. But it has been worth it. Have you ever forgiven yourself?
No, I'll never forgive myself, because God wanted to give me this beautiful gift and I threw it away.
But you had the courage to speak...
I hope it saves other women or girls from the pain I am feeling.
Are you afraid of being stigmatised?
Yes, the whole world will criticise me. But those who take pot shots at me and say women must be free to choose have never had an abortion.
There are conversion stories of women who have aborted several times. Have you ever thought that the first one to forgive you is the baby boy or girl you were carrying in your womb?
Let me tell you something I've never told anyone.
Sure, go ahead…
My baby was supposed to be born in the first week of March. And from the first week of March I've stopped having nightmares. I started dreaming of a baby girl in my arms. I woke up happy. I felt better.
What do you feel like telling the doctors on the High Health Council, about the dangers of RU 486?
That they never used it. Simple as that.
What will you say if you run into that doctor again?
That there is so much talk about freedom, but never about health. That women are seen as an object, and this a terrible feeling. I didn't even know what post-abortion syndrome was and it's terrifying. It's not about forcing a woman to keep her baby. It's about helping her think. I didn't need financial help, but psychological assistance. Instead, this doctor didn't bother to understand the situation at all. All she cared about was that I took that pill because it was the quickest way to resolve the problem. Now I'm dealing with all this guilt.
You've gone through a trauma, but the fact that you are here to talk about it and report what's going on is part of your journey. Your life didn't finish in that hospital bathroom.
Maybe. I just can't help but tell the way things really are.
Your journey is one that started when you took that pill and but it isn't over yet .
I hope so. God only knows where it will lead me.


Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Um Bello, heads up the Alpha Company of the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) which is working in the region of Kakata in western Liberia. On 8 July 2009, Um Bello led his troops in a new exercise: planting trees to contribute to the UNEP-led Billion Tree campaign.
"The war against global warming is both an individual and collective responsibility," Um Bello told the UN soldiers and dignitaries who had come to the launching of the tree planting drive. "As a contingent, we have resolved to join efforts with the international community; well-meaning organizations and individuals to ensure that the war is fought, won and our planet Earth is saved," he added as his troops planted 50 trees and pledged to plant another 700 before the end of the year.
Trees are critical in the fight against climate change. The loss of natural forests around the world is contributing more to global emissions each year than the transport sector. Trees, which absorb carbon dioxide and store nearly 300 Gigatonnes of carbon in their biomass alone, are a crucial factor in the global environmental battle. They help conserve soil and water, control avalanches, prevent desertification, protect coastal areas and they house up to 90 percent of known terrestrial species.
The Alpha Company will have planted a total of 1,000 trees by December 2009, 300 of which they will plant when they return to the base camp in the Sobi barracks in Kwara State in Nigeria. "Tree planting has been identified as one of the weapons with which we can combat global warming and other forms of environmental degradation. It is therefore, against this backdrop, that we are gathered here today to ensure that trees are planted in their millions as a solution to global warming," said Lieutenant Colonel Um Bello.
"The care and protection of our environment is everybody's concern," stressed Um Bello.
Working under UNEP's worldwide Plant for the Planet: Billion Tree Campaign, which aims to plant seven billion trees or one for every member of the human race by December 2009, DPKO has already planted some 28,000 trees and pledged for 33,000 more in 11 missions that include Timor Leste, Democratic Republic of Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Darfur, Sudan, Western Sahara, Haiti, Lebanon and Liberia.
To date, over four billion trees have been planted and 169 countries have participated in the campaign.
"On this memorable day, we have all become a part of history," Um Bello told the DPKO forces. "Let us rise to the call of UNEP and all plant a tree today for the sustainability of our environment," he added.
Meanwhile, as part of its efforts to enhance and develop the physical environment in Darfur, United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) has embarked on a tree planting exercise at its headquarters in El Fasher. An initial 50 seedlings were planted on Tuesday and it is expected that the project will culminate in December when the goal of 1,000 trees will be planted in all UNAMID compounds.
The exercise is being undertaken following a recommendation by the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) on engaging ways to address the impact of the conflict in Darfur on the environment.


Well, probably not. But honestly I don't care so much about that one, and it'll probably come later anyways.
Yeah I was mostly kidding, but they have surprised me before. The last flex goal does not interest me nearly as much as a 4th race with a new play style.

Heads up fix – The Anderson 24 round bale pickup trailer is in the game
Noote54 December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Thanks Arthur, This video has convinced me to give it a go, I've done FS15 and 19.
Jekyl Thorn December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Fantastic summary. Many thanks! Off to watch the playthroughs, now. Fs22 is firmly on the Christmas list!
FlightSimMovie December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
After I quit playing fs19 for years it might be a time to come back to farming simulator!!
Is the cow feeding bot a thing in real life? Please tell me it is!!!
Christopher Harwood December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Looks like Ohio…minus the orange barrels. 🙂
Darryl J December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
For cut sugar beats, you need a fliegel bucket. The bucket is small, so my suggestion is to dump beats on the ground. Setup a conveyor belt. to feed the beats up to your front loader implement, then have the tipper under the fronloader bucket. I suppose you could just setup the conveyor belt infront of the sugar mill then as the beats screed they just go into the sell point. Keep in mind you must keep the tractor on and the belts.
Thats what seems to work for me. I did mine in a field as I had a tree in the way at the factory. My FS19 tree curse has followed me to FS22 lol.That tree will die lol
phoenixsui December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
It is my first Farm Simulator, i was also disapointed that buildings wer useless. How is the past experience with this company, do they patch in cool stuff like that? Also some of my tomatos lunched me into the air now those 2 tomato pallets are stuck in the ground and i cant pick them up anymore, anyone knows a fix? They are just blocking my road.
Nick Forest December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
The thing I don't understand is on ps3 you can't play multiplayer but on the mobile version you can ps3 should have more memory than mobile version I use a modded version of each farm sim mobile game that gives me enough money to buy every vehicle and tool
You have me sold on this game makes me want a pc but all I got right now is my ps3 and farm sim 15 ever play the trucking simulator game
BRIANS#9470 December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
The production facilities seem a little odd to me. Can I just work the farm?
therealcd420 December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Got it the day it come out and so far I love it
Stardog765 December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Coleco Football was the BEST!
Jose Luis Manzana December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
I just got into the series and your videos are extremely helpful. Can see this game taking a bunch of hours off my future.
David Dorsey December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Heads Up, You CAN sell the buildings on the farms you buy and the base farm. Some buildings are worth $0, others have some actual value.
Edit: I usually play w/Xbox Controller and I believe it was either R3/L3 while in the construction menu pops up the dialogue box with option to sell the building. When hovering courser over the building, building will highlight blue while in the construction build menu.
Grey Knight December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Hello Arthur, i like the game and already got it, but to be fair, it is not that great, given it was 3 years in the making… Graphics (who cares, but…) is the same, physics, which is very unrealistic is the same, game mechanics is the same, many annoying things like the landscape manipulation and inability to undo/redo are still there…What have they added….seasons, new cultures, production chains… Well all that was already available through mods. And i agree with you, now we have it in game and it is different, it is better fitting and so on…but it looks like they have spent 3 years to change menu layouts and make pebble 3D… and…sounds…which still sound not very natural… I don't know….it looks to me as they should have released it as 19 deluxe or something. It is definitely not a next-generation-game… In three years time people are making standalone great games having very small teams and this is just milking the same cow. I was milked this time as well, but if FS24/25 gonna be the same, i might probably turn away from Giants.
(No critics towards you, thanks for all the efforts to bring early content out and am enjoying now your lets play series)
matt Alford December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
It's a farm roomba lol.
John Hill December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Once again the AI is going to give me violent tendencies. A new game with bugs? Naaa really? I'm shocked. It's a FS19 update! Let's just stop with the BS! After play this game for 13 years,….. it's an update, 3 year long update. Giants is constantly trying to catch up to the modding community, but always years behind implementing the features.
getous December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Yeah all that missing machinery really suprised me, no case quadtrac, no new Holland cr.90!? I imagine the vicon mowers will be added eventually aswell though
PhotonBread December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
I'm so happy to see you excited for FS again. You could tell the last few months of 19 all the FarmTubers were starting to burn out and all the new mods were basically pointless with FS22 over the horizon. It's amazing the way the community is embracing this great sequel
I'm really impressed with this game. On Xbox Series X it runs so oh so buttery smooth. Like absolutely stunningly smooth. And while graphics haven't become photorealistic it's still an improvement and i would be okay with no graphical improvement because they clearly took so much time and care into upgrading the gameplay. GIANTS really did an amazing job with this game
Lexus 300 December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Is the game performance wise good? Fs19 really felt choppy
KiTronics December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Hey arther as a Toledo resident. I can say to me it looks more like bowling green. But hey if you want a Ohioan to help you on your Ohio Farm let me know. Lol
Farmboyspence December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
The fact they have not fixed the awful render distance after 3 years is baffling to me
Aidan Bristow December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Annoyed with how long it takes to grow things, 4-5 days for crops? Even on 120x and seasons off. Am I missing something? Is it my seeder? Or what? Annoyed that I play for 10 minutes and wait an hour for it to grow…
Bob Dole December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Oh wow you married Simone haha. Congrats.
Steve L December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Wow what a game! Really going to enjoy it. So much to learn and do
SsRocky4 Gaming December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
I love farming sim but I find fs22 looks more like a cartoon than fs19…fs looks more realistic than this one In my opinion…
Dave Lively December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
If you leave hay out in the rain, it rots.
FreeSpeechIsDead December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
The production chain is NOTHING new. Its been modded in the game for YEARS. The devs just add stuff on how ppl play the game and they know that their shitty game has many players using mass production chains with mods from years ago. I was using production chains in fs17 but stopped playing as this game is just the same crap every release. Stop kissing the game or devs asses. Im guessing they gave you a press copy because all Im hearing is a very biased view and opinion.
Tecmo!
snidetripod December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
So excited to play this. The graphics look great to me. And all the improvements, seem to outweigh the negative.
Trigan's Fun & Games December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Those unusable farms is the one big thing that has upset me so far. I'd swear the first thing I heard about FS22 was that they weren't going to do that to us this time. It's a multiplayer game. Why are the additional farms on the map unusable?
Jessica Jensen December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Hey Arthur! There are definitely some cool new features in FS 22! Do you know if you place a building if you have to make sure it's level first or can you just place them? It would be awesome if we didn't have to worry about leveling so much. Also, here is my explanation on the money cheat I was talking about. The money cheat I am talking about goes like this. I go into multiplayer, create a game, select one of the next options (they are locations I think but it doesn't matter which one). Then I wait for the game to load. Then I go into the farm manager which I believe is the house looking symbol on the top. I save the game. Then I join my own farm and then I create seven others which give me $100,000 each. Save the game again. Then I go out of multiplayer and back into Career. Select the game I want, then save it and I've got the extra money ($700,000)and I can do that as often as needed. I don't have the game in front of me right now so I might be missing a step or two but that's the general idea.
Blake Evans December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Very useful video. Exactly what I was looking for.
Cole Huffman December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
That just blows me a way that they didn't make the other farmlands deleteable and customizable. That is very disappointing. I can't believe no one at giants didn't know any better. Also why are they removing equipment from the game? That makes no sense to me either.
Kuting Ironkut December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
So excited to watch your farm sim 22 series along side my own playthrough, i absolutely loved farm sim 19 and picking up on stuff while just having the series on my other monitor!
Jhavit December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
honey weighs 240kg. I think it's too heavy 🙂
TS84NO December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Gotta say it looks A LOT better in the autumn/winter, compared to the first look videos I've seen that have been in the summer 🙂 Guessing a big part of it is the lighting, just like in 19, where there modded maps that had changed the default ligthing often looked a lot better.
Lawdog#2021 December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Is it just me or do the crops take a crazy long time to mature? Had my game time speed set to max and after about an hour real time I still couldn't harvest…am I missing something in the settings?…Thanks…
Fernan December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
You can say whatever you want it's true it's a different concept of game regarding seasons and planning and building etc etc big YES but it was the community who created seasons and global company
I already played that concept of game back in fs17 which yes it blew my mind but it wasn't Giants it was the modders
Matt Hoeh December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
You make a great point in relationship to the multiplayer especially, hopefully they can patch that in and make those buildings useable
Ben's Gaming Clips December 13, 2021 At 11:06 am
Do you have an idea when you'll start a Lets Play for this map? Really looking forward to it ✌ I've been a big fan of your content since I learned to play this franchise through your videos in FS17, so thanks for what you do.

BY Justine Damiano PUBLISHED Oct 03, 2018
Human population growth has been a concern since the 18th century. Supporting this worry are many commonly believed myths about overpopulation, but modern demographers have deflated several of them. Is the human population growing? Yes. Will overpopulation eventually threaten our species? Some leading experts say, "No."
The world may feel a bit crowded at times, and for good reason! After all, we currently share this little rock with over 7 billion of our fellow human beings. But is there still room for everyone? Since the advent of farming, back around 10,000 BCE, the world population has been climbing – slowly at first, and then accelerating rapidly around the middle of the 20th century. For many, this fact has caused alarm, popping up everywhere from the scientific community to the family dinner table.
"Overpopulation" can be a scary word, I know – and so does Aunt Alice. Try not to get too anxious over what she says when she passes the ketchup. She may have a point, but take a deep breath before freaking out: Overpopulation is complicated. Let's try to separate myth from reality, before we get too worried over what may be misconceptions about world population.
CLAIM #1: MORE PEOPLE = MORE POLLUTION!
This is a huge concern of mine, and I'm sure many of you feel the same way. There's no doubt that this equation seems like it could be true, as most of us are familiar with the environmental differences between cities and countryside. Travel to any rural area and you can even smell the difference – the fresh, crisp air providing a totally different experience from loud car horns and the aroma of … wait, is that garbage?
Green Revolution Answers Call to Action
With increased population comes the growing need to take care of our planet. And it is also true that with more eyes focused on conservation, more efforts are being made to protect the environment. When you think about it, one surprising benefit of an increasing world population is that more people are available to develop new strategies and to foster "green" industries that help protect the environment. This is not just a want, but a need.
While it is clearly true that large metropolitan centers are linked to environmental pollution, there are indications that society's efforts can mitigate the worst effects of that contamination. Luckily, the relationship between population and pollution may not be the same in every city. So it is important to examine a number of factors – from environmental movements to the presence of certain industries – to get a clearer picture.
Densely populated regions that place a higher importance on environmental protection have seen a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions despite rising populations, according to The Guardian. Simultaneously, less-populated areas that place historically low importance on the environment have been seeing a rise in emissions.
Communities with larger populations often have practical options that can be implemented to reduce their carbon footprints; we just have to make sure that the necessary regulations and preventative measures are implemented. As more people take a stand for the environment, the better our chances for making a positive change.
Combating Pollution: Good News, Bad News
Fortunately, beneficial results are already seen in some cases. Despite large populations, a study published by Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine points out, "air pollution levels in developed countries have been decreasing dramatically" – proving that conservation efforts can be successful regardless of dense population levels.
On the other hand, some of the damage we have already done is irreversible – a fact which lends some truth to the claim of a relationship between pollution and overpopulation. We have the potential to continue hurting our planet; and the larger the population, the larger that risk grows.
Remember, more people does not have to mean worse pollution, but more pollution can mean fewer people.
CLAIM #2: THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FOOD FOR EVERYONE!
You might feel there's a shortage of food when waiting on a buffet line, but I promise you this isn't like the Hunger Games. The popularly believed warning about limited food resources was first made famous by Thomas Robert Malthus in his thesis, "An Essay on the Principle of Population" in 1798. He claimed that the growth of human population would soon surpass the amount of food available.
Well, it's been over 200 years since that dire forecast, and we're still here . . . and, yes, there's still food.
During Malthus's life, there were an estimated 1.2 billion people spread across the planet. Today, more than 7.5 billion people call Earth home. Despite the undeniable growth of population, Malthus seems to have gotten something very wrong when it comes to global food supply.
According to the U.N.'s World Food Programme, "there is enough food in the world
today for everyone to have the nourishment necessary for a healthy and productive life."
There Is Food … But There Is Also Hunger
If assessments of food production are so optimistic, you might ask, why are there large communities of people living with hunger? The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization provides us with insight: Yes, "the world currently produces enough food for everybody, but many people do not have access to it." We have enough food, but we must improve the infrastructure for delivering it to ensure that it gets to every community. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but it's worth repeating: We do have enough food to support the whole of human population. Now, we just need to make sure every country has the systems to get it to all of their citizens.
Eric Holt Giménez, Executive Director of Food First at the Institute for Food and Development Policy, argues that the world produces enough food to feed up to about 10 billion people, (which is close to the population peak predicted by the U.N.).
Where Malthus Got It Wrong
Malthus asserted that food production would increase steadily, unit by unit, over time; but human population would grow exponentially, forever doubling with each new generation. However, he could not have foreseen that incredible advances in agricultural methods and technology would actually result in food production outstripping population growth. Malthus also wildly overestimated the rate of increase in population. If, in fact, the number of people had doubled with each generation since 1798, Earth's population today would have far exceeded even the gloomiest of modern forecasts.
Which leads us to our next claim . . .
CLAIM #3: THERE ARE TOO MANY PEOPLE . . .
AND. IT. WILL. JUST. GET. WORSE.
Can you imagine sharing your bedroom with four siblings? Lucky for you, gone are the days when the average household had five or more kids. With the advent of technological advances in health, more children are surviving into adulthood, people are living longer, and there is no need to overcompensate for disease and death.
According to the Population Division at the United Nations, we can expect to see a
slowing of rapid population growth, and demographers estimate that the number of
children in the world will likely remain steady.
In today's world – a world with longer life spans and improved medical standards – the average birth rate is at a so-called "replacement level." This change can be seen globally, as women are now having an average of 2.5 children. While larger households are still common in some places – mostly in Africa and the Middle East – the majority of countries have an average of between one and two children per household. So, the rate of childbirth as a factor in rapid population growth appears to be off the table, and there will be no regular doubling of the populace (as Malthus expected) if family sizes continue this trend.
This world ain't big enough for both of us!" Well … Actually, it is.
Rest Assured, the World Is Not Running Out of Room for Us
Based on current population growth estimates, we are not in danger of overcrowding the planet. Believe it or not, if everyone lived as close together as they do in New York City, we could fit the entire world's population inside New Zealand. That may not be desirable to some (especially New Zealanders!), but it certainly confirms that all of us can fit on Earth without the need to colonize Mars or some other distant world. While some experts argue that there is a cap on the number of humans our planet can support at one time (known as the "carrying capacity"), it appears to be unlikely we'll reach that theoretical limit.
The bottom line? Yes, the population is growing, and each day it feels like there are more and more people on this little rock we call home. But we don't have to get discouraged. It looks like we have the technology and the resources to support every person on Earth – and every new discovery improves our chances as a species. As long as societies make the necessary and appropriate investments in infrastructure and environmental protection, our planet can accommodate even the highest projected peak in population.
We may sit here wondering whether we have enough food, space, and resources to support the growing population, but it's important to consider that people have been pondering these same questions for hundreds of years. And the fact remains: we remain.
And we will.

Article from page 1 of The New-England Courant, Number 62, 1-8 October 1722. This essay was written by Benjamin Franklin under the pseudonym Silence Dogood.
The final Silence Dogood essay appeared in the 1-8 October 1722 issue of the The New-England Courant and continued Dogood's earlier attacks on organized religion (see Silence Dogood essay 9), although here the object of Dogood's satire was not the Boston clergy, but rather Yale faculty members and New Haven clergymen who recently had abandoned their Puritan Congregationalism to receive Anglican ordination. Dogood writes: "All I would endeavour to shew is, That an indiscreet Zeal for spreading an Opinion, hurts the Cause of the Zealot."
There is not a Term in our Language which wants Explanation so much as the Word Church. One would think when People utter it, they should have in their Minds Ideas of Virtue and Religion; but that important Monosyllable drags all the other Words in the Language after it, and it is made use of to express Praise and Blame, according to the Character of Him who speaks it.

In Islamic countries, Kentucky Fried Chicken isn't always 'finger-lickin' good'
By Tim Craig

Many Americans probably do not consider Kentucky Fried Chicken to be a defining cultural symbol of red-white-and-blue. But in the Islamic world, Col. Sanders's chicken often gets confused for being the face of America, and that can spell trouble.
Kentucky Fried Chicken is one of the most recognized Western food chains in many Arab and Asian countries, and KFC restaurants have been stormed, bombed and burned down in fits of anti-American rage or terrorism over the past decade. The chain also has become fodder for intense domestic debates over encroachment of non-traditional values — even though a KFC is not always a real KFC.
The latest example of the challenges Kentucky Fried Chicken faces abroad occurred Monday in Iran. After weeks of hype, the first Kentucky Fried Chicken was slated to open in the Iranian capital, Tehran. But 24 hours after it opened, Iranian police raided the store and ordered that it close.
Iran's semiofficial Tasnim news agency initially reported that the store was shuttered because its decor resembled the American flag. The news agency also cited concerns that the restaurant was another sign that the United States is trying to gain "cultural influence" over Iran. As noted by Foreign Policy magazine, American brands are still banned in Iran under orders from the supreme leader.
But knockoff restaurant chains are common in Iran. And the Kentucky Fried Chicken in Tehran, it turns out, actually operates under the name Halal KFC, a reference to Islamic dietary rules.
In an interview with the BBC, the manager of the restaurant said the Turkish-based KFC Halal brand is a "rival" to the American chain.
The manager predicted the store would quickly reopen. But a spokeswoman for KFC's parent company, Yum Brands, told several media outlets it may file "legal action" to keep the restaurant closed.
"We are shocked with the news that an illegitimate KFC outlet has opened in Tehran, Iran," Yum's Laurie Schalow told Mashable. "No franchise rights have been granted to any party in Iran. We are in contact with local authorities and external advisers and will be filing a legal action against any company or individuals claiming to have rights to open KFC."
Whatever the case, the controversy over the Iran store is just the latest example of how something as simple as serving chicken can get entangled into the anger and threats that some Westerners face while doing business in the Middle East or South Asia.
In many of countries, customers flock to KFC stores to taste what for them is a slightly more exotic version of fried chicken than is often offered in local kitchens. But in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, KFC became a regular target of Islamist extremists.
The first such attack occurred in 2003 when an al-Qaeda-linked group bombed a franchise at Indonesia's main airport. Two years later, there were repeated attacks on KFC restaurants in Pakistan in response to Pakistan's support for the U.S.-led war in neighboring Afghanistan.
In one attack, a powerful car bomb outside a KFC restaurant in Karachi killed three people and wounded two dozen. A few weeks later, six people were killed when a mob burned down another KFC branch in that port city.
Often, however, public sentiment about KFC stops well short of violence. During the Egyptian Arab Spring uprising in 2011, for example, protesters vented their frustration about U.S. policy in the region by simply chanting "No Kentucky! No Kentucky! in Tahrir Square.
Yet KFC's bright red decor means it also becomes a visible target when protests turn violent.
In 2012, a KFC restaurant in Lebanon was ransacked and burned following the release of a controversial YouTube movie that many Muslims considered offensive. In response, Yum Brands temporarily closed all 21 KFC restaurants in Pakistan.
Earlier this year, at least four KFC branches in Egypt were firebombed by young, anti-capitalist supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Telegraph reported in March. One of those attacks resulted in the death of a KFC counter clerk who was burned alive by a mob.
The violence prompted Foreign Policy magazine to run a story under the headline "Allah Versus KFC."
The magazine noted that the insurrection was being driven by followers of Shahid King Bolsen, an American anti-capitalist with links to the Muslim Brotherhood. But unlike past terrorist attacks, the Bolsen-inspired violence was viewed as a tool from which young Egyptians could extract concessions from Egypt's ruling government by weakening investor confidence in the government.
"He presents his model as one that is applicable not only to Egypt but also to the Islamist struggle elsewhere," Mokhtar Awad and Samuel Tadros wrote in Foreign Policy. And when it comes to taking a stand against the West, KFC is about as easy a target as anywhere.
In the 1950s, KFC became one of the first U.S.-based fast-food chains to expand internationally. Now, after decades of explosive growth, KFC has more than 19,000 restaurants overseas and ranks behind only McDonald's in global sales, according to Yum Brands.
And that doesn't even include the knockoffs.

Insurance Firms Sit On Rs 6,700 Crore Unclaimed Funds
By IndiaSpend
|22 Aug 2014 11:36 AM GMT
Small sums add up to big ones. Particularly when you are an insurance company. Turns out close to Rs 6,700 crore (approximately $1.2 billion) is lying unclaimed with Indian private and public insurance companies at the end of March 31, 2014.
According to a reply in the Lok Sabha recently by Minister of state (Finance) Nirmala Sitharaman, Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) has directed all insurance companies to disclose unclaimed amounts as a separate line in their financial statements. The companies have also been asked not to appropriate/write back the unclaimed amounts under any circumstances.
Among life insurers, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has the maximum unclaimed amount of policy holders at Rs 1,548 crore followed by Reliance Life (Rs 1,502 crore) and Bajaj Allianz Life (Rs 544 crore) at the end of March 31,2014.
So, we can see that all the life insurers have seen an increase in unclaimed amounts in the last financial year. Reliance Life has seen an increase of over 143 per cent to Rs 1,502 crore at the end of March 31, 2014 from Rs 618.26 crore in the year ended March 31, 2013.
Among non-life insurers, United Insurance had the maximum unclaimed amount at Rs 147 crore followed by ICICI Lombard (Rs 102 crore) and Bajaj Allianz (Rs 92 crore).
The Minister, in her reply to the Lok Sabha, also said that the authority (IRDA), has mandated the settlement of dues of policyholders through electronic mode and display of unclaimed amounts on their websites with an option for 'Search/ Find' for the convenience of the policyholders/ nominees/ assignees.
A circular issued by IRDA earlier in the year said the increase in unclaimed amounts is largely because of dependents not being aware of existence of a life insurance policy. Among other reasons that the IRDA said is leading to growing unclaimed amount are delay in settlement of claim and change in address of the insured.

Hey I got the transmission mount installed and it's still making the thump. When I watch the video I made it seems like the thump I'm feeling is coming from the transfer case moving. I was under the truck today messing around with some things and I noticed on the driveshaft there is some play in it where it goes into the transfer case. I made a video of it. Could you watch it and tell me if the driveshaft is supposed to have that much play in it. The thump is really getting on my nerves and I don't really know what to look for. I did try greasing the slip yoke but it's still doing it. Thanks.

I'm a HUGE fan of M. Pax's Sci-Fi The Backworlds series and now that I've met Hetty, I'm hooked again. Mary Pax's versatility and creativity will grab you and not let go.
A New Adult Urban Fantasy, The Renaissance of Hetty Locklear is the first book in a new series. And it's now out! The main character, Hetty, is a twenty-two-year-old, stumbling about in an effort to become a full-fledged adult. She struggles with self-esteem, weight, relationships, and making the transition between college and the real world.
Woo-hoo! I'm so excited for Mary. It's an awesome book!
Awesome. Congrats to Mary. Sounds like a great story.

Write It Fellowship recipients 2021
We're delighted to announce the recipients of the 2021 Write It Fellowship.
The recipients were selected from a shortlist of talented writers, who were invited to a panel interview with the Write It team at Penguin Random House (PRH) as well as Bilal Hafda, an experienced creative writing teacher and spoken-word-artist from Story Factory. Hafda offered invaluable counsel and broadened the scope of the application process.
On the experience, Hafda commented, 'This entire process has been genuine and thought-provoking, and we have been absolutely spoiled for choice. The writers we've met and spoken to (and the authors of all the work we've read) have important, powerful voices, and it's been an honour to get to hear them.'
From the 121 entries submitted for the fellowship, we are thrilled to reveal that the four recipients are:
Erin Riley – Wrestling With Feelings
'I am extraordinarily grateful to be one of the people offered a Write It fellowship. Making the shortlist was a gigantic thrill in itself and a real validation of my writing. To be mentored, supported and nurtured as a new writer over the next year is an invaluable opportunity and one I am so excited about. As an emerging writer – a trans and queer writer – stumbling across the call out for applications for Write It, a fellowship with the aim of opening up space for writers like me, left me no choice but to try my luck. I am grateful that such opportunities exist.'
Gwen Luscombe – A Peacock Slumber
'I feel so grateful to have been selected for this exciting opportunity and be included among some talented writers with incredible stories to tell. A Peacock Slumber has been a project I've been passionate about for nearly a decade. The Write It team have already been so gracious with their feedback along the journey; I'm genuinely looking forward to having the dedicated time and support to make the most of this experience.'
Lyn Dickens – Intertidal
'I am incredibly thrilled to be a 2021 Write It Fellow with Penguin Random House Australia. I respect and value the ethos behind the Write It Fellowship and its commitment to working with diverse voices, and I am very honoured to be a part of that process. It has already been a tremendous experience to be able to discuss my writing in-depth with members of PRHA, and I look forward to working with an editor over the course of the fellowship.'
Melanie Saward – Barks and the City
'Everything about the Write It Fellowship process so far has been affirming and rewarding – particularly the interview process. How wonderful it is to just sit and yarn about your work with people who are genuinely interested in what you have to say. I am incredibly grateful to the team at Penguin Random House for selecting me for the fellowship and I cannot wait to get started.'
As part of the fellowship, each recipient will be mentored by editors at PRH. They will also be invited to the PRH offices in Sydney to meet and talk with our departments, to learn more about the various facets of publishing and what goes in to pitching, acquiring, editing, marketing, publicising and selling a book.
The Write It Fellowship program will continue to engage a new talent pool of writers who have both diverse and important stories to tell, and are representative of the society in which we live. The fellowship aspires to find, nurture and develop unpublished writers across all genres, with a focus on under-represented sections of our community.

Melbourne United could rotate starters more this season
By Roy Ward
September 12, 2018 — 12.42pm
Melbourne United coach Dean Vickerman may rotate the team's starting line-up through the coming NBL season to reduce fatigue in back-to-back games.
The reigning NBL champions beat an impressive Cairns Taipans 89-88 at Dandenong Stadium on Tuesday night but had to withstand a last-second scare as Taipans import DJ Newbill (18 points) had a three-point shot from the top of the key to win the game just before the buzzer.

Melbourne were also undermanned, with imports Casper Ware and DJ Kennedy still to suit up and Mitch McCarron (Australia) and Toni Smith-Milner (New Zealand) on international duty. Championship-winning centre Josh Boone stood out on his return with a team-best 18 points, nine rebounds and two blocks.
Vickerman said his versatile roster could see more changes to the starting roles or bigger minute positions this season although he has yet to see his full side on the practice court, with Ware and Kennedy arriving only late last week.
It's likely both players will suit up in a closed-doors game against the Taipans this week but even then Vickerman has a lot to consider when sorting out his player rotations.
One player who has gone from strength to strength since last season's championship is two-time Olympian Dave Barlow, who has impressed as the starting power forward during pre-season, though both Kennedy and Daniel Trist will press for that role.
"Certainly that's the way I'm approaching this season with the tight schedule we have got, it's not going to be the same starting group that you see every night," Vickerman said.
"We have got 22 of our 28 games on back-to-backs so that's where I really believe it might be your night tonight then the next night the other guy matches up better - that's what I love about the versatility of our group but everyone has to buy into that and be willing not to start some games because it's good for the team, so that will be a challenge in itself."
Vickerman plans to begin with Kennedy in the small forward role while he learns the more complex offensive play required of a power forward.
Kennedy has played everywhere from point guard to power forward during his career. From his early views, Vickerman said he had the skills and "basketball IQ" to make a big difference to the side.
McCarron has played the bulk of his minutes at point guard during the pre-season but with him away and Ware still out, Peter Hooley and Chris Goulding took those minutes in Tuesday's game and both had some good moments. Hooley posted six assists and Goulding seven assists, although Melbourne had 18 turnovers.
Aside from bringing Kennedy up to speed before the NBL Blitz next weekend, Vickerman will press his whole side to lift their defensive efforts after giving up 30 points in the first term and 88 points for the game.
"I loved our response defensively in the second quarter," Vickerman said.
"We went through a stretch with eight or nine stops in a row. We struggled to contain them earlier but when you play are a good team, you have to find some things out.
"I've felt in the pre-season so far we have only done it in little patches, and it's something we need to continue to work on."
The NBL Blitz will be played at Bendigo Stadium on September 20 and then at the Minerdome, Ballarat on September 22 and 23.

Travel company Cox & Kings, has launched its new Middle East brochure for 2010, featuring a comprehensive programme of escorted group tours and private tailor-made travel to the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, and the Gulf.
New for 2010 are a group tour to Lebanon, travel in the United Arab Emirates, and tailor-made travel ideas for Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Central Asia, Oman, Morocco and the UAE.
Cox & Kings has announced record figures to the Middle East for the second year running, with a 35% increase in passengers to the region in the last twelve months; last year's figure was already up 38% on the previous year. Most noticeably, tailor-made travel to the Middle East is becoming increasingly popular, and the new brochure has significantly increased its coverage of the flexibility provided by tailor-made travel.
"Cox & Kings offers one of the most comprehensive programmes in the Middle East" explains Mark Stacey, Cox & Kings' Middle East Product Manager. "We have the experience and the expertise to offer complete flexibility in the region and there's actually very little we can't arrange".
Bookings to Syria in the last twelve months were up 53% on the previous year, with nearly a quarter of all passengers travelling on tailor-made tours. A new Tailor-Made Syria section (page 53) outlines the possibilities of tailor-made travel to the country.
The suggested nine-night Euphrates & The Desert itinerary begins in Aleppo with visits to nearby St Simeons and Serjilla, before travelling east towards the Euphrates to Deir ez-Zour and on to Palmyra before ending in Damascus. From £3,695 per person including flights, accommodation, and all transfers and excursions on a private basis.
Lebanon has re-entered the brochure for 2010 after being designated 'off limits' by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for almost three years. Lebanon: Land of the Phoenicians (page 54) is a new six-night group tour that takes in the country's highlights, visiting the Phoenician ports of Byblos and Sidon, the bustling cosmopolitan capital of Beirut and the spectacular Roman remains of Baalbek. From £1,045 per person including flights with bmi, accommodation with breakfast and one additional meal, transfers and all excursions. The tour can also be taken on a private basis from £1,495 per person.
"We are very excited to be offering travel to the United Arab Emirates for 2010, for the first time" says Stacey. "There is so much to see beyond the glitzy hotels and casinos of Dubai, and our new private journey, Emirates Explorer, and tailor-made travel suggestions focus on the history and culture of the country. Visitors benefit from first-class hotels and facilities while also seeing some magnificent cultural sites."
Emirates Explorer: This eight-night private journey explores the historic and cultural sites of the United Arab Emirates that exist beyond the luxurious hotels and malls. Starting in Abu Dhabi, the capital, with a visit to the Grand Mosque, the second largest mosque in the Middle East, the itinerary continues to the other Emirates by private chauffeur-driven car. Highlights include the Hafeet and Hajar mountains and the oasis of Al Ain. From £1,595 per person including flights with British Airways, accommodation with breakfast, transfers and all excursions.
Tailor-Made Central Asia: Following increased passenger numbers throughout Central Asia in the last 12 months, Cox & Kings has introduced a selection of travel ideas for visitors to Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Turkistan. Kazakhstan Explorer is a suggested six-night itinerary that begins in Almaty, with day trips to Big Almaty Lake and Charyn Canyon. The trip continues to Shymkent and visits Turkistan before returning to Almaty. From £1,725 per person including flights, accommodation and all transfers and excursions on a private basis.
Tailor-Made Oman: Amongst the new tailor-made content in the brochure is a double page spread on Oman, a country that lends itself well to independent exploration. A suggested itinerary, Muscat, Salalah and Musandam, travels from the mosques and souqs of the capital city to the isolated Musandam Peninsula, separated from the rest of the country by the UAE, and Salalah in the southern Dhofar province, where desert gives way to lush green landscapes and cooler temperatures. An eight-night tailor-made trip costs from £1,595 per person including flights, accommodation and all transfers and excursions on a private basis.
Dahabeyas on the Nile: Cox & Kings' extensive travel programme in Egypt has been further expanded for 2010 to include Nile cruises aboard a traditional Dahabeya. With just six air-conditioned cabins and two suites, the Sonesta dahabeya offers an intimate cruise experience. Combine four nights in Cairo with a seven-night cruise that includes visits to the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, the Temples at Kom Ombo and Edfu, the Aswan High Dam and the Temple of Philae. From £2,295 per person including flights with BA / Egypt Air, seven nights' all inclusive on the cruise and four nights' luxury accommodation in Cairo, with all excursions.
Tailor-Made Egypt now has four pages in the brochure, including long weekends in Cairo and traditional Nile and Lake Nasser itineraries as well as Alexandria and El Alamein, Sinai and the Red Sea, and the Western Desert. The suggested 10 night Western Desert itinerary travels into the desert from Luxor, spending a night at each of the oasis towns of El Kharga, Dakhla, Farafra and Bahariya. After three nights in Siwa, it follows the coastal road back up to Cairo. From £1,895 per person.

Awake – Toronto Fringe 2011 Press Release
From press release
TORONTO, June 15, 2011 – Expect Theatre proudly presents AWAKE, a site-specific theatre piece based on a series of interviews with those who have been affected by gun violence in the at-risk area of Jamestown/Rexdale. The piece includes verbatim theatre, dancehall, gospel music and hip hop and underscores the struggles faced by those living in that troubled neighbourhood as well as their hopes and aspirations. AWAKE runs Wednesday, July 6 to Sunday July 17 at the Walmer Road Baptist Church as part of The Fringe of Toronto Theatre Festival.
The verbatim script is based directly on hundreds of hours of interviews conducted by Mullin and Tolley over a three-year period with people from Jamestown including current and former gang members, people who had been shot, people who had probably shot others, gun runners, drug dealers, the cops who have busted them, and moms who had seen their sons die in front of their eyes and in their arms.
You turn the corner at Spadina and Lowther and join an informal procession of people making their way towards the local Baptist Church. As you approach the building, you hear distant gospel music from within.
As you pass through the doors, you are handed a funeral program. You take a few steps down the aisle towards the casket, stop, turn and quietly take a seat among the pews.
You are here for a funeral, a funeral for all of the young men who have died throughout the years at the hand of gang violence.
But what starts off as a solemn remembrance quickly turns into an examination, and eventually a celebration.
AWAKE is inspired by the infamous 2005 shooting of Amon Beckles when his killer entered a Jamestown church during a funeral service, found him, and shot him six times in the chest. The idea that someone could be targeted in a church, during a funeral, shook the city to its core.
AWAKE is staged as a funeral in the sanctuary of the Walmer Baptist Church, using the setting as a springboard to tell the stories of a broad range of people in Jamestown – from those who have risen above the most difficult circumstances to those who are still fighting for their lives to escape.
Audiences will arrive as if for a funeral, a funeral for all the young men who have died from gang violence. But, what starts off as a solemn remembrance quickly turns into an examination and celebration of the people and culture coming out of one of Canada's most dangerous, infamous, yet inspiring and culturally exciting areas: Jamestown.
AWAKE is created and directed by Expect Theatre Co-Artistic Directors Laura Mullin and Chris Tolley with choreography by choreographer Nicola Pantin (Stratford Festival, Dora Awards for Outstanding Choreography for Expect's Romeo and Juliet Remixed and LKTYP's Jacob Two Two Meets the Hooded Fang). Choral direction is by multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and CBC Radio 2 host Andrew Craig and soundscape is by Ed Hanley (Juno nominee, Auto Rickshaw). Set and costume design is by Jackie Chau and lighting design is by Arun Srinivasan.
The multi-media piece features actors Beryl Bain (Shaw Festival, I Marcus Garvey), Lauren Brotman (Dora Award for Theatre Direct's And By The Way Miss), Quancetia Hamilton (Da Kink In My Hair at Princess of Wales), Muoi Nene (Obsidian Theatre's Ruined, Volcano's The Africa Trilogy), Peyson Rock (Soulpepper's King Lear, LKTYP'sBunnicula) and Richard Stewart (Theatre Archipelago's I Marcus Garvey) along with dancers Tazz Blaze and Raffaele and youth artist URV. The stage manager is Laura Cournoyea.
AWAKE will give audiences a taste of the tension, danger and loss that those in Jamestown live with daily, and continually struggle to rise above. AWAKE is not only a story about mourning the loss of lives; it is also a story of honouring those lives, celebrating the culture of the area and proffering hope.
Expect Theatre was formed in 1996 by Co-Artistic Directors Laura Mullin and Chris Tolley to create works that explore modern urban life using multi-media. The company's credits include cutting-edge works such as Romeo and Juliet Remixed (five Dora nominations), the multi-media play Static (Harbourfront Centre's World Stage) and the annual urbanNOISE urban arts festival.

The Stanford Division of Plastic Surgery is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for those patients with peripheral nerve injuries. Peripheral nerve injuries can occur through out the body and result in loss of function and chronic pain.
Peripheral nerve injury care requires a wide range of skills to obtain the best functional outcomes. This care starts from the acute injury (nerve repair, graft or transfer) and may continue to later reconstructive surgeries (tendon/ muscle transfers). The Stanford Plastic Surgeons can provide care at each stage of recovery to restore function after peripheral nerve injury.
To provide the best care, we work closely with a multidisciplinary group of specialists; including therapists, pain specialists, neurologists and physiatrists to ensure complete care of the patient. We have a long tradition of innovation and clinical excellence in the care of peripheral nerve injuries. Our group has studied nerve care, performed laboratory research, trained future nerve surgeons and continues to work on newest innovations in the field.

Although many strains and sprains are minor, they can also be quite serious, including those caused by work-related accidents. Categorized as soft tissue injuries from overuse and overextension of ligaments, joints, muscles, and tendons, it can also lead to extensive bruising, soreness, swelling, stiffness, and pain.
In situations where the wounded employee does not seek timely medical attention, these injuries can worsen and become severe. Sprains and strains may not present symptoms right away or appear on x-rays; these are added reasons why getting examined by a doctor is important.
Types of Sprains and Strains
Strains normally affect muscles and tendons, the latter of which attaches muscles to bones. If a worker who primarily drives for their job suffers a car accident, they will most often feel strain in their back and neck afterward. The strains can be mild, moderate, and severe, with symptoms ranging from muscle weakness and spasms to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving that body part.
Sprains affect ligaments, which connect tissues to bones and stretch around joints. Ligament sprains can be more involved, especially if they tear. Grade 1 sprains occur when ligaments are stretched, causing limited mobility. If there is partial ligament tearing, this is considered a Grade 2 sprain, which can be diagnosed by a scan. In some cases, surgery is needed, and recovery times may be longer. Grade 3 sprains occur when ligaments tear, affecting the victim's stability and mobility.
One of the most common soft tissue injuries is whiplash, when a rear-end collision's impact forces a person's neck and head to move violently. Delivery drivers often experience these injuries if they sustain a car accident during the course of their employment. Symptoms may include sharp neck pain and stiffness, problems with concentration and memory, and back pain.
Minor strains and sprains may heal with rest, ice, compression, and elevation, but this is not always the case. Surgery may be needed for severe cases, and less serious ones can be healed with physical therapy, wearing a brace, and by restricting use of the injured body part. Most strains and sprains will need time to heal, which can range from weeks to months. This can cause victims to miss time from work, which can lead to missed paychecks and financial hardships.
Strains, Sprains, and Workers' Compensation
Employees who suffer strains and sprains from workplace injuries or while driving for work may be eligible for Workers' Compensation benefits. Injuries are preventable if companies and their workers adhere to safety guidelines, yet they still happen often. Workers that are most at-risk for sprain and strain injuries include the following:
Company drivers involved in car accidents
Construction workers
Office employees
Carrying heavy items improperly, not being well-trained on equipment, and having poor ergonomics, slippery surfaces, and debris can cause workers to end up with sprains and strains. Employers are responsible for providing safe workplace environments for all their employees.

An owner of the Colorado Rockies Major League Baseball team and a hamburger mogul will give keynote speeches, and panels of successful El Paso entrepreneurs and corporate executives will give business tips at the El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's largest annual conference.
The speakers are all women because the conference is aimed at inspiring and helping women in business.
"Dancing Backwards in High Heels" will be held Thursday from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m., at the Wyndham El Paso Airport Hotel at 2027 Airway Blvd.
The chamber gave the women's business conference the unusual name to signify the ability of women to juggle family and careers.
The conference started 11 years ago as a way to show El Paso area women the resources available to grow or start a business, said Terri Reed, senior vice president for entrepreneurial development at the Hispanic chamber.
About 400 people are expected to attend. Most of those will be women, but men do attend and also can learn from the conference's speakers, Reed said.
Tickets, which cost $40 apiece, are still available for the luncheon and all-day seminars. The breakfast is sold out.
"There's a little something for everyone: Women looking to expand their resources; prospective business owners and entrepreneurs who maybe don't know what next steps to take; and women who want to get motivation and inspiration," Reed said.
Pattye Moore, a business strategy consultant, board chairman of the Red Robin Gourmet Burgers chain, former president of the Sonic drive-in hamburger chain, and co-author of the 2007 book, "Confessions from the Corner Office," will be the luncheon keynote speaker.
She's expected to talk about women in leadership roles and the long way women still have to go to achieve "gender balance," according to a chamber statement. She is a mother and grandmother who also will talk about work-life balance.
Linda Alvarado, owner and CEO of Alvarado Construction, a large commercial general contractor in Denver, and a co-owner of the Colorado Rockies, the first Hispanic owner of a Major League Baseball team, will be the keynote speaker at the conference's sold out breakfast.
Alvarado is expected to talk about breaking barriers in male-dominated industries, or as Alvarado has put it, "breaking the cement ceiling," according to a chamber statement.
Reed said she has heard both women speak at other events and both are inspirational, she said.
Awards will be given to several El Paso women executives at the breakfast and luncheon.
For ticket information, call the Hispanic chamber at 566-4066.
Tickets to the luncheon and conference also will be available at the door, Reed said.
