On Saturday morning, CNN projected that former Vice President Joe Biden would win the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the 2020 Presidential Election, putting him over the 270 Electoral College votes necessary to win the race. Other major news organizations quickly followed suit and called the election for Biden, with world leaders congratulating the new President-elect on his victory.
Meanwhile, President Trump has refused to concede the election, and has instead filed a number of lawsuits alleging without evidence that there was widespread voter fraud in several states. While most legal experts agree that these lawsuits are very unlikely to impact the outcome of the election, the Trump appointed Administrator of the General Services Administration, Emily Murphy, has refused to sign paperwork required to officially begin the transition process.
Leaders and Organizations across Indian Country reacted to the news of President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris' victory over the weekend, with one prominent national organization leader telling Native News Online that "Indian Country has only been treading water during this current administration. Now is the time to strike to get more done for Indian Country under the upcoming administration."
Indian Country Today reports on the results of tribal elections across the country, noting that six tribes have new leadership – including on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana, where Native women swept the President, Vice President and five tribal council seats.
The Calista Corporation, an Alaska Native Corporation, has established a process for 56 tribes to vote on the creation of a regional tribal government in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The deadline for interested tribes to respond has been delayed to the end of the year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The creation of a regional government has been discussed by area residents for almost half a century.
The chairman of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes in northeastern Montana was suspended this week and faces a removal hearing in December. Eight of 12 Executive Board members signed the statement suspending the chairman for "inappropriate official action" on behalf of a construction company that the tribe has litigation against for alleged breach of contract, and a series of violations of the board's code of ethics.

Defeat the evil Lord Gearon.
Maybe Bike of the Wild having a similar name to Breath of the Wild is a coincidence? That's a reasonable thing to think. Here is the description from its Steam page: "The evil Lord Gearon has kidnapped the Princess Steelda, can our Hero Klink complete the Bike-Force and save Hillrule? Find out in... Bike of the Wild!"
Perhaps not a coincidence then.
Bike of the Wild is an open-world exploration game in which you pedal around as a riderless bicycle in search of 18 Polaroid photos, each of which unlocks a new color for the bike and also a lost memory. Finding all the memories will apparently give you the game's story, although how it explains this sentient bike riding up giant grapes is anyone's guess.
Bike of the Wild is available now on Steam.


Your energy is low and you'd really rather lie in bed than get up and go to work. And you know what? While you can't skip a whole week of work just because, you might be better off if you can find a way to take a day or so off.
If you do have to put your nose to the grindstone, don't be surprised if you can't seem to focus. Things that you can ordinarily handle will confuse you, and your boss or coworkers could suddenly seem harsh and mean. It's likely that you're the one that's different right now, not them. Your skin is a bit too thin now; you're rather like a sponge, absorbing energy indiscriminately, whether it's positive or negative. You may feel vaguely uneasy, whether you're at home alone or out trying to interact in the world. Clear perceptions just aren't part of your repertoire right now, which means that you're better off waiting to make any important moves or decisions. Spend as much time on your own as possible, or in the company of people you've known and trusted for a good long while. Otherwise, you could get taken in by con artists, or even just by people with an agenda that doesn't match up well with yours.


Hand built and finished, custom chests of drawers, made in pine or oak. Along with custom chest of drawers, we can build any type of bedroom furniture that you require. All of much better quality than you can find in most furniture stores!
We can make you Chest Of Drawers in any colour, size, shape, style or finish. If you see a particular design you like, not shown on our web site, please contact us and we will quote you a price to make it for you. Hand crafted in the UK.

When asked how he achieved such feats he answered, "Being your best is not so much about overcoming the barriers other people place in front of you as it is about overcoming the barriers we place in front of ourselves".

Top Wild Card Betting Options for the 2018 MLB Playoffs
Michael Kates
Bet St. Louis Cardinals at +800 to with the National League at Karamba.
Bet St. Louis Cardinals at +1400 to with the World Series at Karamba.
Bet Los Angeles Dodgers at +1000 to with the World Series at Karamba.
Bet New York Yankees at +750 to with the World Series at Karamba.
Not so long ago, wild-card teams were really a thing in Major League Baseball.
After it debuted in 1994 as a single team per league facing the top team in the league in a League Division Series, it took just four seasons for a breakthrough, as the 1997 Florida Marlins stunned the Chicago Cubs to win the National League pennant and then the Cleveland Indians in the World Series.
From there, wild-card teams went on a tear, winning three straight World Series from 2002-2004 and a fifth World Series in 2011 to make it five in 18 seasons. In those first 18 seasons, wild-card teams won seven National League pennants and three American League pennants.
Baseball then added a second wild-card team for the 2012 season, creating a play-in game, and those Cinderella stories indeed became fairy tales.
Since 2012, just two wild-card teams have made it to the World Series – both in 2014 when the San Francisco Giants beat the Kansas City Royals. Both were longshots at every baseball sportsbook both on Sept. 1 and when the playoffs began.
A Tougher Road for Wild-Card Teams
By creating a play-in game for wild-card teams, the league rightfully put a greater emphasis on winning the division. But for those betting on baseball, it diminished some good opportunities.
Wild-card teams, often playing critical games into the final weekend, would often use up their top two pitchers – or more – just to make the playoffs and survive the wild-card game.
Facing the top team in the league in a five-game series after the wild-card team, with a No. 3 starter facing that team's ace, is a daunting proposition. The 2014 Giants got great pitching from players other than ace Madison Bumgarner just to make it to the League Championship series. Bumgarner had to win the wild-card game.
So with the deck already stacked against it, which wild-card teams this season might buck the trend?
2018 Wild Card Teams Worth Backing in the Playoffs
Since 2012, teams have needed to be within two games of a wild-card spot on Sept. 1 to make the playoffs, the one exception being the 2013 Indians team that went 20-6 in the final month of the season.
Using that as a basis of projecting the best options, we have the New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics in the American League and the St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers, Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers.
The odds at Karamba for the Yankees to win the AL pennant and World Series are +375 and +750, respectively. For the Athletics, it's +800 and +1800. In a stacked American League, we're not fans of the A's, even at those odds. Of the two, we'd bet the New York Yankees at +750 to with the World Series at Karamba.
The NL is a little more intriguing. Colorado has seen its surge muted and has a brutal final month ahead of it. And with a negative run differential, that's a red flag. Even at +750 to win the NL, we'll pass on the Rockies.
The Brewers are +900 to win the NL, +1800 for the World Series. But with a daunting stretch with the Cardinals and Cubs ahead of it, we're betting on a fade.
That leaves both the Dodgers and Cardinals, and we like both of them, the Cardinals most of all.
The Cardinals have indeed had a turnaround the second half of the season, and with a top-3 pitching staff and a ton of momentum could be this season's surprise team. You can bet St. Louis at +1400 to with the World Series or even better +800 to win the pennant at Karamba.
The Dodgers have been sputtering and struggling, but they are a talented group that has been there before. We don't think they'll catch the Diamondbacks, but with some of the strongest pitching (Clayton Kershaw, Alex Wood), they are a legit threat still.
As the second choice in the NL at +400, there isn't a ton of value. But if you believe they are just biding their time, bet the Dodgers at +1000 to win the World Series at Karmaba.

Kalabrija (, kalabrijsko Calabbria, grško-kalabrijsko Kalavrìa, arbereško Kalabrì) je ena od dvajsetih dežel, ki sestavljajo Italijo. Meji na severu z deželo Bazilikata, na zahodu s Tirenskim morjem, na vzhodu z Jonskim morjem in na jugu jo Mesinska ožina loči od Sicilije. Deli se na pet pokrajin: Catanzaro (80 občin), Cosenza (155 občin), Crotone (27 občin), Reggio Calabria (97 občin), Vibo Valentia (50 občin). Spadata v Kalabrijo dva mala otoka blizu tirenske obale, in sicer Isola di Dino in Isola di Cirella.

Zemljepisna lega in podnebje
Kalabrija je gričevnata (49 %) in gorata (42 %) dežela. Gorovje je znano pod skupnim imenom Kalabrijske Alpe, saj je po sestavu pretežno granitsko in torej ne spada k Apeninom. Ravninski svet ob vznožju gora, posebno jonska obala, je ilovnat in sljudast, torej neprimeren za obdelovanje. Osrednja pokrajina je visoka planota imenovana Sila, ki je popolnoma prekrita z gozdovi. Na skrajnem jugu jo zapira Aspromonte, ki je sorazmerno nizko (najvišji vrhovi so: Pollino (2271 m), Monte Botte Donato (1928 m) in Montalto (1955 m)) in skoraj neobljudeno gorovje, od leta 1994 narodni park. Edini večji reki sta Crati in Neto. Značilnost dežele so fiumare, ki so vodni tokovi brez določenega izvira: vodo jim donaša nešteto manjših potokov in več obdobnih velikih slapov, ki jih zgodaj spomladi ustvarja kopneči sneg. Zaradi strmih pobočij, ki pogojujejo dolžino tokov in deročnost vode, se fiumare globoko zarežejo v skale in izdolbejo prave kanjone. Zadnji del fiumar, že blizu izliva, je pa široka in plitva struga, posejana z gruščem in peskom. Veliko je umetnih jezer, večina na področju Sile.

Podnebje je sredozemsko, s temperaturami med 10 °C in 40 °C. V višinah je podnebje ponekod skoraj alpsko, saj so zime izredno mrzle in snežene, poletja pa sorazmerno hladna. Rastlinstvo se razlikuje v glavnem glede na nadmorsko višino. Do 600 metrov je povsod makija in raste predvsem oljka, do 1000 m raste kostanj in hrast, više pa bukev in smreka.

Zgodovina
Znani so grafiti v kraju Papasidero, ki pričajo, da je bil človek prisoten v Kalabriji že 12.000 let od tega. Tudi grška mitologija govori o junakih, ki naj bi 900 let pred padcem Troje prišli iz Sirije v te kraje, in o njihovem potomcu Italu, po katerem naj bi dobilo ime njegovo pleme in pozneje vse ozemlje. Zgodovina govori, da je poleg njih bivalo na polotoku tudi oskijsko pleme Bruci, a obe plemeni sta se morali umakniti, ko so deželo zasedli Grki, ki so tu ustanovili kolonijo Velika Grčija (Magna Graecia). Prihod Rimljanov v tretjem stoletju je odvzel grški koloniji oblast in ekonomsko samostojnost, ne pa kulture. Slavna grška preteklost je zapustila neizbrisne posledice. Še dandanes se na primer ponekod v Kalabriji govori jezik (imenovan »grecano«), ki sloni na antični grščini. Posebne zgodovinske važnosti so samostani, kjer so grški menihi ohranili veliko prevodov klasičnih avtorjev, ki so bili drugod v srednjem veku uničeni. Po Rimljanih so po raznih vojnah prišli na oblast bizantinci, pozneje Langobardi in leta 1061 Normani. Dežela je potem bila vključena v Neapeljsko kraljevino in kot njen del je bila pod vlado Habsburžanov, Špancev, Avstrijcev in Burbonov, za kratek čas tudi Francozov.

V srednjem veku in vse do konca osemnajstega stoletja so deželo napadali morski roparji, zaradi česar se je prebivalstvo umaknilo v notranjost in se ni dosti vključevalo v politiko. Kot drugod po južni Italiji, se je tudi v Kalabriji razvilo razbojništvo, ki je bilo v teh krajih še posebno socialnega značaja, čeprav seveda ne brez izključno kriminalnih elementov.

Gospodarstvo
Zgodovinski umik prebivalstva iz javnega življenja je negativno vplival na razvoj že itak skromnega kmetijstva. Ob zedinjenju Italije (1861) je bila dežela fevdalno urejena in novi zakoni, ki niso uvedli sanacijskih ukrepov, stanja niso spremenili. Šele v drugi polovici preteklega stoletja je drobljenje velikih posesti dovolilo privatne pobude in intenzivno kmetovanje, ki se povezuje s predelovalno živilsko industrijo. Glavni pridelki so žito, oljka, agrumi, vinska trta in kostanj. Tudi živinoreja je precej razvita. V gorskih krajih živina (govedo, prašiči in drobnica) ne pozna hlevov, ker se spomladi in jeseni seli na ugodnejše pašnike, in je torej le delno v domači reji. Pomemben je ribolov, predvsem na tuno in mečarico. Industrija je skromna.

Danes je glavna gospodarska panoga turizem. Izredne naravne lepote Kalabrije in bogata zgodovina, ki je razvidna iz neštetih arheoloških najdišč, so glavni vzroki za vedno večje turistično povpraševanje. V zadnjih desetletjih se je dežela tudi temu primerno odzvala z dobrimi gostinskimi storitvami.

The TV schedules go period drama crazy as the nights draw in and there's a glamorous new kid on the block to shake things up for our favourite, Downton Abbey.
Set in the late 19th century, The Paradise revolves around England's first department store. When young country girl Denise Lovett (newcomer Joanna Vanderham) takes a job in the ladieswear department, she finds herself surrounded by style and money – and becomes attracted to the shop's owner, widower John Moray (Emun Elliott).
But watch out for her boss Miss Audrey (Sarah Lancashire), who is keen to keep her workers on the straight and narrow.
The show comes before ITV1's Mr Selfridge (starring Corrie's Katherine Kelly and Hollywood star Jeremy Piven) is scheduled to start, setting up another fierce rivalry between the channels with two very similar dramas.
The Paradise starts on BBC1 tonight (Tuesday 25 September) at 9pm. Are you looking forward to another period drama? Let us know in the comments below.

I'm not sure how gas lighting me will do you any good.
Is this you role playing being an actual Ethics officer? I can totally dig in to that man.
Serious, Out Ethics, I'm not poking fun. This stuff can getting pretty emotional. Everyone needs to take a break and chill.
Well Stat Push - you did not come across that way - you were acting rather rude to me.
I don't think we have a moderator that is helping protect this board but is protecting a guy who is out to destroy it. This board is here to help newbies and lurkers. Am I right? Emma became friendly with Alanzo when she was vulnerable and he was "nice" to her.
Now Alanzo is taking over the board.
Alanzo has 21% of all posts on the first page of EXSMB. The threads are filled with hate and confusion about Ex Scientologists who are doing something productive about exposing Scientology and its criminal acts. Alanzo's actions are that of OSA yet the moderator sticks head in sand.
I am serious about all of this and then you disperse my posts with drivel that makes no sense.
I am revealing some stuff here that will help the newbie and the lurker. Are you going to contribute or continue to attack and poke at me?
I can poke right back and my pokes can get pretty pokey.
I don't recall Leah or anyone saying that "the church believes in paedophilia". Does anyone have a link to her exact quote? Or a link to the particular video where she addressed this (and hopefully at what time in the video)?
Clearly, the "church" DOES believe in covering up paedophilia. For a Scientologist to discover that his child was molested, it would be considered a Suppressive Act for them to pick up the phone and call the police.
And Scientologists are indoctrinated to believe that children are "thetans in small bodies" and they're often treated not as children, but as adults. That can be a contributing factor towards someone becoming abusive towards them.
But, hey, Mike has an AMAZZZZING LIFE and has/had a TV show, so we'll just give him a pass.
I'm not OK with giving anyone a free pass. But doing a smear campaign on someone utilizing bold faced lies and logical fallacies is not honest criticism. You wouldn't want that done to you, would you?
How would you feel if Emma allowed that to take place on ESMB and you were the target?
freethinker and Out Effix like this.
Just wanted to point out that it is not I complaining about things "not making sense", but you. You can try using your Scn Study Tech, if that works for you. However, I will take a pass on the recommendation.
He-man. Once again, please word clear "gas lighting" and use it in several sentences.
Scientology Gaslights
OSA Gaslights
Because I say your posts are not clear does not = Gaslighting.
You need to get a twin and get a star rate on Gaslighting and how OSA Operates please before I contribute or read any more posts from you.
No StatPush - you are not clear with your writing. Once again, you twist the truth to suit your confusion.
LOL StatPush - that was a little joking and degrading tech.
Very Well Done
Thanks. I'll pass. Unless you can do the work for me and find me a beautiful woman who is single, to be my twin.
I do believe that polarizing posters into two separate groups and then following that up by describing the three people you put together as making no sense and being confused, as gas-lightning. I wouldn't characterize it as bad as done by others. But there you have it.
It's an ad hom, and seeing that you demand the respect to be heard and listened to, I'd like some of that too.

Back to reality - Mike Rinder was the CO OSA Int for 22 years...
You keep posting that and repeating it like some sort of meditative mantra, but you do know it's impossible for that statement to be true, right?
Even if we pretend along with you that Mike Rinder wasn't demoted and put in The Hole and pretend he never held any other posts, OSA was created in 1983. Mike Rinder left Scientology in 2007. He wasn't C/O OSA from beginning to end.
JustSheila, Sep 23, 2019
Back to reality - Mike Rinder was the CO OSA Int for 22 years.
Who is your source of information on this?
You do know that over a dozen people made reports to the FBI don't you?
As per Graham Berry's petition to the White House, 300+ reports of recent crimes and atrocities were made. Up until this point the FBI has not acted, unless they are currently engaged in an investigation we are unaware of (which is possible).
Just curious, what would be an example of a "head-shot" he can deliver?
I agree T4, its effectively church policy to cover-up crimes. And I can see how the attitudes towards children can act to "lessen the overt". I think we're on the same page.
Here's a quote from Leah:
"Scientology policy dictates that children are grown men and women in little bodies. They believe a 7-year-old girl should not shudder at being passionately kissed. That's in 'Dianetics,'" Remini told The Hollywood Reporter.
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainme...logy-and-the-aftermath-renewed-for-3rd-season
Regarding a smear campaign...sorry, I don't follow you. The thrust of my post on Mike Rinder was not to smear him. I just don't see him as God's Gift to Anti-Scn. I respect the work he has done; seen every episode of Aftermath; regularly read his blog. But, I haven't lost sight of the fact he ran OSA for 22 years. That's a lot of hurt.
Bold faced lies? Logical fallacies? Please explain.
@StatPush
Here is a quote from Mike Rinder and his interview about his various posts at OSA:
"I can't be credited with creating OSA, but I was certainly there when it happened. And within a short period of time I became the head of OSA," Rinder told me recently. "These people [at the GO] had done a bunch of kooky things. Myself and a bunch of other people had the idea that we had to start doing things the right way and not the wrong way."
For more than 20 years, Rinder was
involved in and led OSA before he left Scientology in 2007. He played a role overseeing Scientology's legal affairs, he ran an office that employed private investigators, and he eventually also became the church's chief spokesman.
https://www.villagevoice.com/2011/09/14/the-top-25-people-crippling-scientology-no-8-mike-rinder/
He clearly was not C/O OSA for 22 years. He had many posts in that time. Do you not understand something about Scientology posts and transfers? Very few people stay on one post for long, particularly in the Sea Org. Posts and duties are separated and differentiated in such a way that one normally does not know the details of what their peers or those in other departments are doing.
JustSheila said: ↑
From Mike's web site:
Representing the Church of Scientology in External Affairs
In 1981 I began what would become a lengthy history working on "external affairs" when I was sent on the first "Obs Mission" to the Guardian's Office at World Wide (WW) at St Hill, followed by a long series of Sea Org Missions to disband the GO, both at WW (St. Hill in England) and the USGO in Los Angeles. I subsequently held various posts in Special Project and then the Office of Special Affairs (OSA) the external facing arm of scientology – from Legal Aide to CO OSA US to CO OSA Int and Watchdog Committee (WDC) for OSA. During this time I also held other posts, LRH PPRO International, various other WDC posts and CO CMO Int. But the vast majority of time was in OSA. From the early 90's I became the primary international spokesperson for the church.
https://www.mikerindersblog.org/mike-rinder-bio/
With respect to OSA...
Its head is Mike Rinder (right), a longtime Scientologist and ally of David Miscavige. In the early 1980s he helped to push through the dismemberment of the GO (coyly described as "a series of projects designed to reorganize the legal and public affairs representation of the Church"). He was rewarded in 1985 with the job of looking after all Church legal and public affairs in the United States, a role extended in 1987 to cover external Church affairs internationally as head of OSA International (OSA Int. for short).
http://www.xenu.net/archive/go/osahist.htm
Yes, on that, we are.
Thank-you but I'd actually like to see the actual quote directly from Leah (preferably on video). What Fox New wrote may be the actual quote, but I've seen too many times where media outlets altered a quote from someone. I've had it happen to me. (I'll try to find it myself later, but if anyone has a video link, please post it)
For sure all Scientologists don't believe that "a 7-year old girl should not shudder at being passionately kissed". Apparently LRH did believe it, or at least he wrote it. There's something I find pretty disturbing about that line.
I didn't mean by my comment on a smear campaign that you were running such a campaign. But there certainly has been a campaign run on ESMB the past month or so.
I'm referring to many of Alanzo's postings here since he's been back. If I have time before the board closes I'll explain in detail, although I've posted about it on a number of occasions.
Alternatively, you can........
Exactly. He worked at various posts (jobs) at OSA. He was C/O OSA for part of that time. He was not C/O OSA for 22 years. Is English a second language for you?
Because there is one brought here by Alanzo and Gerry appears to be behind it. OK, let's say Mike did for argument sake, what is the point of going on and ona about it? Unless you have evidence or witnesses it's just blowing smoke and annoying everyone one else.
Alanzo has taken a side. Apparently Gerry has taken a side, I take no side in this matter, so to say I am scheming in the shadows is just a presumption on your part.
Does the "statement of fact" have to be reintroduced on multiple threads with the same war cry over and over. Emma got sick and tired of Gib asking the same question but Alanzo is different?
When its on a half a dozen threads or more and constantly repeated it is no longer a mere statement, but a war cry.
What's abhorrent is the excessive TR4ing the same thing expecting someone to go, "Yeah, let's get Mike to spit out his crimes that he hasn't mentioned in 12 years", but actually has.
You haven't made one. What is your case?
I have personally seen 11 year olds holding executive positions in Scientology. I delivered a package to one at the Guaranty Building. It was a really nice office too.
It's a fact that Scientology has a cadet org.
It's a fact that they had kids babysitting kids as nannies while SO staff did their posts
It's a fact Hubbard had kids as messengers for his private messages
It's a fact that Scientology lies about its services and intent. If Scientology could deliver what was promised they would having people flocking to receive services and the orgs really would be booming but that isn't happening, nor will it.
That Paedophilia could be going on is not a far stretch of the imagination and I have read some stories here about underage molestation happening at the Mace Kingsley Ranch more than once.
It's a fact that people have gone psychotic on Scientology practices.
It's a fact that Scientology delivers the Purification Rundown without qualified and licensed medical people overseeing it.
You want people to go after Mike Rinder on a presumption but we are using lies when Scientology's track record is so abysmal.
Sounds to me like you are defending the church and saying go after Mike instead.


NY Times reports that the FDA will regulate some apps.
Hope Warshaw that is, diabetes educator and advocate for the Diabetes Online Community. Hope is an advocate for peer to peer support. See why I am proud to have her as a friend by reading her blog. This post with resources to help people with the online community is outstanding.
Share it with your friends and maybe even your diabetes educator.
My first reply to a StripSafely letter from Congress was a long piece that included the history of the FDA and nothing about the subject to which the good Senator was replying, meter accuracy. I shared it with some friends who were a little disappointed.
Not to worry, regardless of sequesters and partisanship, Congress sorts and counts. If we get enough letters to them, they will start sorting and counting diabetes accuracy messages. They don't need to know or understand anything about diabetes care, at first, they need to start counting. Maybe they have.
Yesterday I received a letter from my Congresswoman. (Yes, woman. Cool right?) She (or her staffer more accurately) wrote specifically about FDA post market oversight. Citing exactly the three points FDA wants me to hear; inspections, MDRs and recalls. That is glorious. That can only mean the Congresswoman's office reached out to FDA. The FDA had some explaining to do to the Hill.
Each episodes of the "A-Team" ended with Hannibal saying, "I love it when a plan comes together." The joke being that things may not go as planned but the A – Team gets results, typically with a lot of action.
I know the FDA has action hero-ish special abilities. On September 5th the Agency published a story of how twenty one individual, potentially contaminated, candy bars from New Zealand were tracked down by FDA to keep American consumers safe. FDA should just as actively use its powers for good to Americans safe from test strips that fail to deliver the accuracy on our fingers that those test systems had to demonstrate to be approved for sale.
If anything is clear from the Diabetes Technology Society meetings on May 21 and September 9, it is that we know there is a problem. We know firms fail to comply with MDRs and other parts of FDAs existing regulatory controls. Committees, commissions and post market studies to know more, without enforcing more, is unacceptable.
We need acton for plan to come together.
People with Diabetes are starting to get the FDA's attention. StripSafely is still in the opening of the third act. Regular viewers know what is needed, action, lots of it.
If you get a reply from you Congresswoman (or man) that mentions three parts of a post market program, write back. Tell congress we need more action, independent inspection. We have a letter for that. Face and BA are in shed beating the Strip Safely Twitter page into shape too.
The third act is always the most fun.

Hey it is video day! We are joining with Kerri at SixUntilMe and sharing a videos today encouraging actions on diabetes.
Diabetes doesn't end. This fantastic piece from the Diabetes Art Day collection, by the Gulo family, makes that clear.
Diabetes is a disease not a character flaw. A disease that 25 million american live with, significantly more than that if the undiagnosed are includes. Some estimates put that 'significantly more' as ONE in THREE Americans.
One in three of us have it and the other two loves someone who does. I have asked FDA for a patient meeting on diabetes. Join me, sign the petition, get two loved ones to sign too.


Enjoying the street level sights of Hanoi without the stress. Cyclo tours are a fantastic way of getting an introduction to the old centre of town.
I am excited to be writing this post. First reason, after several weeks of wandering in the technological hinterland of having a non-functioning laptop, I am back in business. Second, transportation in S.E. Asia has been a consistent high point in every country we have been in thus far. So I am excited to be sharing a bit of information on what we have discovered in our first three months in SE Asia.
We were floored with the excellent service on Thai Airlines. However, we then found that Vietnam Airlines was just as good, if not even a bit better, in our limited experience. The service and punctuality of the flights was great on both airlines.
As we approached Hanoi on our first of several flights with Vietnam Airlines we were treated to a lovely sunset. This was the cherry on top of a wonderful introduction to this airline.
This was the first time we had to wait in a line to check in for a flight. I was glad we already had three flights on this airline so I was comfortable we would get through in time. And we did with time to spare.
We have done six flights since coming to SE Asia and they have all been positive experiences. The only word of warning is pay attention to announcements in the airport and check the departures information frequently because changing boarding gates seems to be a popular activity. However, despite our positive flight experiences, the real fun has been moving about via bus and train.
Within Cambodia we found the Giant Ibis bus company to be excellent. The buses were clean, well maintained, and offered power points at all the seats for getting your time in on whatever electronic device you like. Just know you need an actual plug, not just a USB connection to take advantage of this great feature.
No matter what company we travelled with by bus they all stopped every two hours for a toilet and snack break. The stop locations provided everything you need.
The toilets at these locations were not always something to admire, but we found them to be "reasonably" clean. Just not always the type of facility you might expect. i.e. pouring the water in by hand to flush and squatting. Some of the great experiences of travel.
This bus in Thailand was a bit more run down than most that we were on and yet it was still very good. The most pleasant surprise was the amount of leg room. My expectation was none, however I found there was enough room that being a contortionist was not necessary.
The only thing I found a bit disconcerting was the stockpile of fuel in the shed right by where we were loading onto the bus to start our trip in Cambodia. I was fairly confident none of these containers had any type of safety rating.
One of the ways of passing the time when travelling by bus is keeping an eye out for other users of the roadways. It is phenomenal what and how much can be moved on the smallest of vehicles.
I have no idea what is in the containers but we loved the collection of chickens on the back.
We have also used smaller buses for a number of our trips. These typically hold between 6 and 14 passengers and are operated by a much wider assortment of businesses. They take care of most trips under a couple of hours and can be quite entertaining.
I found the fact the operator had taken the time to zip tie the seatbelts so they didn't get all tangled up quite thoughtful. At least we could find these ones.
We both were able to watch the collision that broke the left handgrip off this bike because he hit the side of the van right beside Karen. I watched his head bounce off the window and thought how fortunate the operator was one of the few who wore a helmet. After some discussion and a punch to the face, the motorcyclist drove off minus one hand grip and we continued on our trip.
The second class cars are dominated by western travellers with a few locals mixed in. The authorities on the train were very good. Interested in us but not over friendly. They did their job and let us be.
We both had top berths which apparently are a little smaller than the lower ones. I found them fine. The only challenge was the lights are not turned off at night. That light you see in the photo is perfectly positioned to shine over the top of the berths curtain, right in your face. A mask would be a great addition.
Upon arrival we got to see what our train looked like as it was very dark and we were in a big hurry when we boarded the night before. An awesome experience we look forward to repeating.
Of course travelling between cities and countries is only part of the transportation adventure. Getting around within the cities has been a truly eye-opening opportunity. From the chaos of Phnom Penh to the effectiveness of Hong Kong we have learned that North America is still truly in its infancy of learning to move large numbers of people effectively.
The incredible number of these machines on several Asian city streets is awe-inspiring. We generally found the operators good at what they did. None of them even flinched when they saw our luggage, unlike many taxi operators we have encountered. These guys just made it work and got you to where you wanted to be.
I am constantly impressed at how these little 125cc engines haul the loads they do. One of the ways they do it is a home-made water cooling system to augment the normal air cooling these engines use. These jugs of water provide a steady drip of water over the engine to help keep the temperatures down. Brilliant problem solving.
One of the other components of city transportation here is cooperation. Other than the punch to the face after a collision, I have yet to see any road rage here. People just take the right of way. If someone else takes it from them they wait 2 seconds and carry on. Everything moves and the stress level is way lower than the stupidity one observes on most roadways.
This is one of my favourite images. The relaxed nature of the family making their way through traffic. Admittedly we have seen the aftermath of more than a few accidents with people injured, probably more severely than necessary due to a lack of protection. However, because of the smaller engines and lower speeds the level of trauma is lower than expected.
The public transit has been awesome in SE Asia. Volume of ridership is obviously a key, but it is amazing!
The elevated metro in Bangkok was my first exposure to well-educated riders following the rules. everyone stands back of the yellow line (or an attendant blows a whistle at you, trust me I know), and wait to the side for passengers to disembark before boarding.
Both Bangkok and Hong Kong utilized these doors to some degree. No falling in front of trains from the platform here. And the trains are huge! Did I mention it is awesome?
The transportation options on Hong Kong island are great. The longest running one is the electric tram. This double-decker tram system has been operating for more than 100 years, ding, ding.
The tram is known as "ding, ding". They run frequently, are super cheap, and a great way to see downtown Hong Kong. You hop on at any stop and pay your $2.30HK(.40CDN) when you exit.
Water taxis were another mode of transport we have used. The ones we have used all appeared quite safe and in no immediate threat of sinking, despite some of the horror stories we had read.
This passenger ferry in Cambodia was good. Other than the operators not looking old enough to be driving a car, the trip was uneventful. On the return trip they took us to a different port, but hey, you have to roll with the unexpected. It was only a short bus ride to where we wanted to go.
The biggest concern on the ferries was watching all your earthly belongings being slung over the water. Didn't see any go in, but that really does not lessen the concern.
I will close off with a couple of images from Hong Kong. We took the tram up Victoria Peak which gets you close to the summit. Not only is this a tourist attraction, but some locals use this as part of their commute as well. And the other hugely historical and still highly used mode of transport is the Star Ferries in Victoria Harbour.
The Peak Tram takes 1.4km to go up 400 metres in elevation. It is a fantastic way to get to the top. I went up by foot and by tram, the tram is much more pleasant.
The Star Ferries have boats leaving approximately every 10 minutes for the 9 minute commute between Hong Kong and Kowloon. Being able to use a piece of history like this for an everyday event is one of the fascinating things of travel.

Æthelstan Half-King & The Making of England
December 28, 2019 Hunter Wallace Britain, Europe, Featured, History, Identity 6
Who created England?
How was England created? Is it synonymous with liberalism? It is only due to an unprecedented loss of identity and historical memory in recent decades that such questions are even asked.
From the Sack of Lindisfarne in 793 to Æthelstan's reign as the first King of the English in 927, England (Angleland) was created in response to the pressure on the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms from the Viking invasions of the 9th century. The Vikings conquered all the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms but Wessex and seemed poised for a time to conquer it as well.
There was a time when the Anglo-Saxons were driven all the way back to Athelney which was a fortress in the marshes of Somerset, but from that last redoubt in the far west of England the Anglo-Saxon Reconquista of England against the pagan Danes began. King Alfred defeated the Great Heathen Army at the Battle of Edington in May 878 and within two generations his descendants had conquered the Danelaw. After the Battle of Brunanburh in 937, the unified Anglo-Saxons came to dominate all of Britain for the first time.
The Anglo-Saxon victory over the Danes was short lived. A second Viking Age began in the late 10th century when the Viking raids resumed. King Æthelred the Unready ordered a genocide of the Danes in the St. Brice's Day Massacre. England was conquered by Sweyn Forkbeard, the King of Denmark, and his son Cnut the Great ruled over the North Sea Empire of England, Denmark and Norway in the early 11th century. After defeating and killing Harald Hardrada, the King of Norway, during yet another invasion of England at Stamford Bridge, England fell under Norman rule after the Battle of Hastings during the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Francophone Normans were themselves the descendants of Vikings who had settled in Normandy.
The upshot of all this is that it was centuries of ethnic and religious conflict with the Vikings that created England and English identity which has existed since that time. The English nation is dissolving under liberalism and the English people are being replaced in their own homeland. The same is true of all Western nations and it is due to the same cause. Fortunately, we have the technology to access all this information at our fingertips. It has never been more widely available. It hasn't been lost so much as neglected and suppressed and the younger generations have been steered away from it by liberals who control the education system.
Can we create a more interesting historical narrative for young people than the woke garbage being taught in the public schools?
Note: We might need a strong hand like Æthelstan Half-King to one day rule over New England. It wouldn't be unprecedented. 🙂

Mainstreaming genetic counselling for ovarian cancer
By ONA Editor	 November 23, 2017 No Comments
A study that looked at mainstreaming genetic counselling for ovarian cancer to support screening programmes in Malaysia was presented at the ESMO Asia 2017 Congress.
The preliminary results of the MaGiC study show that most patients counselled by a well-trained but not necessarily an expert in genetics were satisfied or just as satisfied with their experience as compared to those being counselled by a genetic counsellor or clinical geneticist.
One in nine ovarian cancer patients carries the BRCA1 or BRCA2 (breast cancer gene 1 or 2) mutation and four in 10 carriers do not have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer.
Knowing one's BRCA status may indicate how one may respond to certain therapies or the level of risk to develop certain cancers.
"In the past, genetic testing in ovarian cancer was limited to a small number of patients with the aim of identifying relatives at risk," said Dr Soo Chin Lee, Senior Consultant, National University Cancer Institute, Singapore, commenting on the study.
"Now that there is a drug to treat cancer patients with BRCA mutations, genetic counselling and testing is recommended for all patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. This has increased the number of patients who qualify for testing and thus specialised centres have become overloaded."
The MaGiC study was designed to assess the prevalence of germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations among ovarian cancer patients; determine the feasibility of mainstreaming genetic testing and counselling at local hospitals; examine the psychosocial impact of genetic testing in Malaysia.
800 ovarian cancer patients are to be recruited over a two-year period.
Basic genetic counselling workshops have been held for 70 non-genetic clinicians from 29 hospitals across Malaysia.
According to the study protocol, patients are allocated to counselling by a trained non-genetic clinician in their local hospital in a clinical programme led by Professor Yin Ling Woo, MaGiC's lead clinician, or to counselling by a genetic counsellor or clinical geneticist in a programme with Professor Meow Keong Thong, lead clinical geneticist at specialised centres in Kuala Lumpur.
All blood samples were analysed for BRCA mutations by Cancer Research Malaysia, coordinated by diagnostic lead Dr Joanna Lim.
Patients received pre-test counselling, followed by test results and post-test counselling.
After both pre- and post-test counselling, they are interviewed by a researcher over the telephone to assess the feasibility and the psychosocial impact of the experience.
One year into the study, 248 patients have been recruited, of whom 208 received genetic testing and 13% (27) had BRCA mutations, which is similar to that found in other populations.
"Screening for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations and providing genetic counselling in local hospitals could help identify mutation carriers who may benefit from risk management and targeted treatment," said lead author Ms Sook-Yee Yoon, genetic counsellor, Cancer Research Malaysia, Subang Jaya, Malaysia.
"In Malaysia, BRCA genetic testing and counselling is only available at specialised centres in Kuala Lumpur but most people live outside the capital: patients seem to prefer local appointments, so if they are referred to another centre for genetic counselling, they seem less likely to attend. "
Preliminary results show that the answers to the psychosocial surveys were similar between the two groups.
Most patients were satisfied with their counselling experience, felt informed about their choices, and found it easy to decide to go ahead with genetic testing.
In terms of feasibility, patients in the local and specialised counselling arms were equally satisfied or very satisfied with the counselling they received.
The local counselling arm has been recruiting patients more quickly than the specialised arm.
"Cancer is still a taboo subject in Malaysia and there is a fatalistic attitude to hereditary conditions," continued Yoon.
"Genetic information can cause conflict in families and the data we are collecting on the psychosocial impact of genetic testing will provide insights into the psychosocial challenges. With this knowledge, we can focus on interventions to overcome these challenges."
"Mainstreaming genetic testing and counselling to local hospitals is a strategy to cope with this increased volume of patients," continued Lee.
"This is ideal for a large country like Malaysia where specialised centres are concentrated in the capital yet the majority of the population live elsewhere."
Lee said: "The preliminary results of the study show that moving the genetic counselling process to the community is feasible and could be rolled out across Malaysia. It also is a model for other countries like Singapore to follow."
