Community Action for Safe Teens (CAST) is holding a community conversation on mental health and substance abuse on January 8th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the Boys and Girls Club of Souhegan Valley. A NARCAN training will also be provided to attendees. The community conversation is for 18 to 21 year olds who live in the Souhegan Valley area.
CAST is working to combat the pressing issue of the opioid crisis and are "focused on solutions" in solving the problems of addiction. The young adult listening session will include a dissection and discussion of the data collected from the 2017 Youth Risk and Behavior Survey from 2017 and 2018. The session will "look for root causes and local conditions" in terms of statistics on drug and alcohol use in the Souhegan Valley.
The community conversation is open to young adults who live in the Souehgan Valley area and that are between the ages of 18 to 21 years old. During the forum, there will be time for the community members to share their experiences and thoughts on drugs and alcohol in high school.
Additionally, there will also be training on how to administer NARCAN which is a nasal spray that can be "used for the treatment of an opioid emergency or a possible opioid overdose with signs of breathing problems and severe sleepiness or not being able to respond." CAST will provide the trainees with NARCAN to have in the case of an emergency.
Jace Troie, CAST Coalition Coordinator, said, "we are looking forward to holding a high school community conversation for teenagers in the near future." Troie emphasized that "we really need their voices" and to "tell them that we'll have pizza" at the listening session on January 8th.

Carl writes: "I am a Christ follower from Detroit and a 2006 graduate from Liberty University. I was a young know-it-all hotshot who actually went to a doctor's office in my late teens and witnessed a father comforting his Down syndrome son. It touched me in a way that changed my life and inspired me to write a story based on my encounter."
Sometimes at the most unexpected times, something happens that will change you forever. For Ronnie, a 17 year old junior in high school, it happened in a waiting room at a doctor's office. Ronnie was a popular student who played sports, went to parties, and really only looked out for himself. He told his mom his arm was hurting and she noticed a strange rash, so they went to the dermatologist. While in the waiting room, Ronnie noticed an older man trying to calm down another man who looked to have Down syndrome. The man with Down syndrome looked to be in his thirties and the older man his sixties. Ronnie assumed it was father and son, and at first didn't give it much thought. The man with Down syndrome was crying and making a scene, and most people in the room just ignored what was going on. The older man was so kind and gentle to his son, and told him everything would be fine. Finally, the man with Down syndrome stopped crying and soon after that was called in to see the doctor.
Ronnie wasn't religious and neither was his family. He never gave much thought to God or the Bible, but for some reason this experience at the doctor's office was pulling on his heart. For the rest of the day he was quiet and his family was worried. They asked him what was wrong and he simply told them he didn't know. The love this father showed for his handicapped son was something incredible to Ronnie. The son with Down syndrome was causing this huge scene, and the father only showed him love. Ronnie couldn't let this go and he continued to show change in his everyday life.
Every two weeks Ronnie went back to the dermatologist for treatment. A few months later Ronnie saw the father and son again. This time Ronnie was sitting closer and he struck up a conversation with the father. His name was Allen and his son's name was Shane. They talked for about ten minutes until they both were eventually called in. Ronnie was now going to the doctor without his mom since he turned 18, and before he left he overheard Allen make a future appointment for Shane. He decided to schedule his next appointment the same day and time so he could see them again.
Sure enough, Ronnie went back and Allen and Shane were both excited to see their new friend. Allen invited Ronnie to lunch after their appointments and he accepted. At lunch, Allen told Ronnie about his life. How his wife died a few years earlier and it was just Allen and Shane now. Ronnie discovered Shane had a serious skin condition and Ronnie told them his reason for going to the doctor wasn't that serious. After lunch, they went on their ways and Ronnie was able to get their number.
Ronnie was now in his senior year of high school, and it flew by. His rash seemed to get worse in the winter, but he kept it from his family. He stayed in touch with Allen and Shane, and went to their church every Sunday. Shane considered Ronnie his best friend, and it was truly a special friendship.
As the summer approached, Allen heard Shane's skin condition which was cancer, spread throughout his body. Shane only had a month to live. Ronnie was also in a lot of pain and finally told his parents his rash was getting worse. He was diagnosed with cancer as well, and would have to go through some painful chemotherapy.
Two months went by and Shane was still full of life. The days he knew he was going to see his best friend were a big reason he kept going strong. He looked forward to those times more than anything. At the same time, Ronnie was weak. He barely had the energy to get out of bed. Shane would go see him with Allen, and Ronnie would try his hardest to have the strength to be upbeat and positive.
Ronnie's chemo unfortunately was not enough and he died in his sleep. His classmates and family were heartbroken. At his funeral, which was at Allen and Shane's church, it was packed. Shane was in a lot pain at this time, but he asked his dad if he could speak. He got up to the front of the church and told everyone the story of Ronnie. He talked about how much it meant to have this popular high school student befriend him. How he never had a friend in his life, and how much Ronnie meant to him. Many of Ronnie's old classmates never knew Ronnie befriended this 30 year old Down syndrome man named Shane. Everyone was touched by Shane's speech and there wasn't a dry eye in the church.
Shane died two days later, also in his sleep. Allen arranged the funeral, but with little family or friends he wasn't sure who would show up. When the day came for Shane's funeral, the church was packed. People from Ronnie's funeral were so touched by Shane. Allen touched by the kindness of everyone at the church couldn't help but smile. He used to feel like he was all Shane had, but Ronnie changed that. The funeral was a celebration of the life of his son. Shane and Ronnie were now gone, but the impact their unlikely friendship had on this church and community lasted forever.
Allen's love for his son reminds me how God loves his children. When we are sad or scared, he is always there for us. Unconditional, unbelievable, perfect love.

Preschoolers are being suspended and expelled, and NC activists say racial inequity is the root problem

Emily Jackson, a program director at the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP), said that when she started talking about preschoolers being suspended or expelled, the response often depended on the race of the listener.
White people's jaws dropped.
"Black people knew that this has been happening for a long time," Jackson said.
A 2014 national report from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights found that Black preschoolers were three times more likely to be suspended or expelled than their white classmates. Data from North Carolina public preschool programs showed that 47% of children suspended once and 73% of children suspended more than once were Black in 2015-16.
In 2017, the Center for American Progress analyzed the first nationally representative survey on preschool discipline that included public and private settings, and it estimated that 250 preschoolers are suspended or expelled each day, with Black children about two times more likely to be suspended or expelled than other children.
"Early childhood serves as a protective factor, and so we are ushering the young kids out of the very environments that are supposed to support them" when they are suspended or expelled, said Ebonyse Mead, president of the Educational Equity Institute and instructor at Georgia Southern University. "As an early childhood professional, however you touch children … you can't ignore the data."
North Carolina activists and researchers such as Mead and Jackson gathered virtually this week to draw attention to these and other racial inequities in early care and education systems. The conference was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and organized by ASAP, the Educational Equity Institute, the National Black Child Development Institute, and the Jordan Institute for Families at UNC-Chapel Hill's School of Social Work.
"We know that when we push these bodies out of the classroom, when we're not being intentional about providing high-quality child care to all of our children, particularly our Black and our brown babies, that we have the potential to destroy academic careers before they even begin," said Devonya Govan-Hunt, president of the Charlotte affiliate of the Black Child Development Institute. "That's what's happening in this space."
A 2016 study from the Yale Child Study Center pointed to teachers' implicit bias as a possible explanation for the racial disparities in preschool discipline. Using eye-tracking technology, the researchers found that pre-K teachers spent more time looking at Black children, particularly Black boys, than white children when watching videos in which they were told to press a key "every time you see a behavior that could become a potential challenge." The children in the videos were participating in normal classroom activities.
A new federal requirement under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act mandates that local districts collect and report discipline data for children ages 3-5 "when determining disproportionality in placement and disciplinary action by race." A 2018 report from the state's Office of Early Learning (OEL) details the racial disparities in preschool discipline and outlines a behavior management strategy called Pyramid Preschool Model, which at the time was being rolled out in 39 districts. An OEL presentation to the State Board of Education in June 2020 said the state will begin collecting this information this school year.
According to the North Carolina Early Childhood Foundation, both NC Pre-K and Head Start have either prohibited or strongly discouraged suspension and expulsion. The state Division of Child Development and Early Education released a statement in 2017, saying the division's intent is "to prevent, severely limit, and work toward eventually eliminating the expulsion and suspension – and ensure the safety and well-being – of young children in early learning settings."
Potential solutions were discussed over the course of the two days of the conference: strengthening early educator preparation and raising compensation, improving data collection in North Carolina's early learning systems, and restructuring the state's star rating system for licensed child care facilities.
Jennifer Neitzel, Educational Equity Institute's executive director, said workforce issues around minimal education standards, low compensation, and stressful working conditions often leave early educators without the resources to address children's behaviors.
North Carolina child care workers made a median hourly wage of $10.35 in 2019, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The state's minimum education standard to be a lead early childhood teacher is one community college course.
"We're not adequately preparing our workforce to keep children, and so because a lot of teachers don't know what to do with behaviors, it's just easier to kick them out," Neitzel said.
When it comes to understanding where in the state suspensions and expulsions are happening and to what extent, the disjointed nature of the system is no help, said Paul Lanier, associate director of the Family and Child Well-Being Partnership at the Jordan Institute for Families. Most available data is collected through public preschool programs. Yet private child care facilities have no reporting requirements.
"There is a major data issue here that is stopping us from making any real change or understanding this problem," Lanier said. "Maybe it's not intentional, but there's this kind of … systemic racism where no one person is making a decision but the system is failing because of our ability to collect data, essentially."
Lanier led a study last year of early childhood data user needs funded by the Preschool Development Grant through the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as data roundtables around specific issues including reducing early childhood suspensions and expulsions. A February report on topics raised during roundtables across the state asks, "How can early childhood data systems be used to perpetuate or remedy existing disparities?"
Lanier said policymakers want to know where children are as they start a particularly complicated school year, which could be an opportunity for discipline data collection.
No Band-Aid fixes
Though the conference raised strategies to reduce these disparities, organizers encouraged long-term structural change.
The National Black Child Development Institute's 2018 report, "Delivering on the Promise of Effective Early Childhood Education," outlines a vision for "systems-level change." Its introduction reads: "Disproportionate suspensions and expulsions for Black children in early childhood education underscore widespread injustice and racial inequality in our early childhood education system."
From licensing standards and professional development reforms to wraparound mental health services for children and families, the report aims for early learning environments that are "inclusive and affirming" of Black children.
Digging deeper than programmatic fixes or single-issue focuses is necessary, Mead said.
"Implicit bias, preschool suspension and expulsions, the idea of color-blindness, all of that is just a symptom of whiteness in our society," Mead said. "We have questions that we have to unpack, and that larger question is: How do we reimagine a system that is inclusive for everybody?"

AG William Barr says Jacob Blake shooting may have been justified
Barr called it 'a phenomenon' that Black people feel treated 'as suspects before they're treated as citizens.'
Biba Adams
Attorney General William Barr sat down with CNN's Wolf Blitzer for a highly-anticipated one-on-one interview yesterday.
When asked about the nationwide protests in response to the police killings of unarmed Black people in this country, Barr drew stark contrasts.
The attorney general said that he would not compare the shooting of Jacob Blake with the choking death of George Floyd, noting that both cases are under investigation.
"What's different?" Blitzer asked.
"Floyd was already subdued, incapacitated in handcuffs and was not armed," Barr responded, "In the Jacob [Blake] case, he was in the midst of committing a felony, and he was armed. So, that's a big difference."

Attorney Brendan Matthews, representing police union Kenosha Professional Police Association, said officers were responding to a dispatch reporting that Blake was trying to steal the caller's keys and car and that he had an open warrant for third-degree sexual assault and misdemeanors related to that felony.
Lawyers for the Blake family, Ben Crump, Patrick Salvi and B'Ivory Lamarr, released a statement disputing Barr's account.
"Attorney General Barr is misinformed. The police officers were the aggressors from start to finish, based on video and witness accounts," they said.
"There was never any point in time when there was justification for deadly force. In fact, there were innocent bystanders in the line of fire when he shot seven times into Jacob's back," they continued. "At all material times, Jacob's back was to the officers, and he never posed an imminent threat. This was never a life or death situation for the officers."

Barr said, as it relates to excessive force, "We have a process in this country to make that determination. We are investigating it. That should follow due process and be fair to everybody, including the police officer."
"There appears to be a phenomenon in the country where African Americans feel that they're treated, when they're stopped by police frequently, as suspects before they're treated as citizens," Barr said. "I don't think that that necessarily reflects some deep-seated racism in police departments or most police officers."
Twitter responses to Barr's interview with Blitzer, which covered a range of nationally-crucial issues, including systemic racism and mail-in voting in the presidential election this November, were sure and swift.
Thank you wolf for making it clear that #JacobBlake was not armed nor does it justify the violence.

There's no training base like home!
Para sprinter Rhys Jones is keeping both his body and mind in health during the current lockdown – thanks to a flexible approach and the care of others.
The Great Britain international – a Paralympian in both London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro in 2016 – has been grounded at his Clydach Vale home for the past few weeks.
But like every disabled person, he is well used to developing a resourceful nature he believes can serve everyone – not just elite athletes - trying to cope with these new additional challenges.
For Jones, that has meant changes in his training routine and a fresh appreciation when other people stay in touch.
"All my running is on the road at the moment because we don't have a park or a large grass area, so that's taken a bit of getting used to over the last couple of weeks," he says.
The 2014 Commonwealth Games bronze medallist is keen to share some tips from his training regime in order to help others stay fit and motivated during the current crisis.
Jones, whose motto is "I can and I will. Watch me" has been posting YouTube videos demonstrating how people can keep fit in their own living rooms. They are also on his Twitter account - @RhysJonesRuns.

"I'm trying to keep people motivated, because it's hard for everyone. I will openly say that it is mentally draining to try and motivate yourself at home when you're out of your routine.
"But the videos are just to show that when you're in the house you don't really need heavy weights or anything like that. I use the things that I have in my living room.
"Any form of exercise, now more than ever, is important. I can see why the government wanted people to keep active, even before this virus."
It's not just his body that Jones has been careful to take care of, though. Isolation from others can be difficult for everyone and he says a check call and a friendly chat with anyone can ensure people don't feel alone.
As well as the practical support he has received from the sporting governing bodies in Wales over the years, they have also helped him adapt to his new training regime under lockdown.
"We have support from Sport Wales and Disability Sport Wales. I can't thank them enough for the help they have given me over the years.
"They continue to check in on me through this pandemic so you know that you are loved and that you are being thought of, so it's a mental boost as well."
Like everyone in Wales, the 26-year-old – who has cerebral palsy - is having to adapt to revised plans.
Instead of forcing himself through home-based workouts in the Rhondda, Rhys should have been honing his sprinting skills in readiness for this third Paralympics in Tokyo this summer.
Those plans were shelved when the Games were put back to 2021. But just as he has dealt with paralysis to his left side and sight problems, the disruption is just another challenge to be taken on.
"I'm still training, so I've still got a goal. It is going to be hard because we are only in April and we were just a few months away from the Games.
"At the moment every sporting event has been cancelled or postponed, so I am not the only one in this situation. We are all in this together. We will come out of it better for it.
"It's just one more year isn't it? Three-hundred and sixty five days. When we think positively about things then positive results can happen."
At the London 2012 Games, Rhys competed in both the 100m and 200m, reaching the final over the longer distance. Four years later in Rio, he competed in the T37 100m where he finished sixth in the final.
In between, he reached the final of both the T37 100m and 200m at the IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon and the final of the T37 100m at the IPC Athletics 2015 World Championships in Qatar.
The year after Rio, Jones finished fifth in the final of the T37 100m final at the World Para Athletics Championships in London.
Having tasted so much success on the global scale, Jones is hungry for more in Tokyo in 2021.
"I try and see the positives in everything. There's no such thing as a negative really, it's a learning point. You either learn from it or you don't.
"More often than not, 99 per cent of the time, I will learn from it. I try not to make the same mistake as before and become a better person from it."

Academics at DartmouthDartmouth Arts NewsStudying the Arts at Dartmouth
ARTH 47.01: Building America
A Department of Art History Course
This class completely changed the way I understood the physical and social landscape around me. From Dartmouth campus to cities across America, Professor Heck captivated me with architectural and social themes of American history. She seamlessly wove the transformation of America's social landscape with the building of our physical landscape, showing their symbiotic development. I will take this class with me through life as I travel and continue to learn about the space and places around me!
THEA 40: Technical Production
A Department of Theater Course
Theater 40 was one of my favorite classes. We got to work in Dartmouth's Scene Shop and learn about all the different aspects of technical theater. It was kind of like a choose-your-own-adventure class, where you could work on different projects depending on your interests. I learned a lot about sound and lighting design that I probably never would have learned otherwise.
FILM 33: Writing for the Screen One
A Department of Film and Media Studies Course
I thought this would be a pretty individualistic class. Write your proposal, write your story, write your script. But it turns out starting from a place of support when embarking on a creative journey is crucial. Professor Phillips lets you know he's there every step of the way and builds a support network. I received feedback from every classmate at every stage, not just my final product. It helped me take a step back and get fresh perspective. Come in with a story, come out with a better one.
FILM 3: Introduction to Digital Arts and Culture
How often do you analyze an emoji keyboard on your midterm exam? Professor Williams does an amazing job of bringing everyday concepts into the classroom and having us examine seemingly exclusively aesthetic or 'shallow' topics academically. After a day of class researching a performance artist who posted and posed as a variety of Instagram "It Girl" tropes and her commentary on ways we construct femininity in the digital age, I realized that my selfies too can be art.

Art History explores the visual cultures of diverse peoples, places, and times. Emphasizing critical, historical, and linguistic skills—as well as creativity and innovation—Art History offers a bridge between traditional, language-based fields in the humanities and the creative worlds of art, architecture, and performance. The study of Art History will change the way you see everything from paintings and statues to advertisements and other visual phenomena; it's a way of looking at the world.
At Dartmouth, students studying Art History gain analytical skills that encourage an inquiring approach to visual experience. In addition to training students for further study and employment in the discipline, the faculty equip all students with visual analysis, logical reasoning, critical reading, writing, and public speaking skills that serve them well in many academic disciplines or professions.

Film and Media Studies blends coursework in the theory, history, and criticism of film, television, and new media with instruction in both screenwriting and production in film, video, animation, and gaming. That combination of analysis and creativity prepares students to apply diverse modes of thought as they seek deeper inquiry in a medium of their choice.
The department of Film and Media Studies at Dartmouth empowers students to advance their understanding of the discipline by taking at least one course with a production component. Students are encouraged to both shape their emphasis of study and increase their breadth of understanding by taking at least one additional course relevant to their emphasis outside the department. Students may modify Film and Media Studies with another related discipline, and Film and Media Studies can be either the major or the minor in a modified major.
There are as many different ways to study music as there are kinds of music to study. The study of music combines a range of classroom courses with opportunities for performance, concerts, festivals, colloquia, and masterclasses. Each mode of instruction brings together students, faculty, and artists-in-residence in a variety of roles.
The Dartmouth Music department is at the cutting edge of music scholarship, thanks to an internationally acclaimed faculty of composers, performers, conductors, music theorists, historians, musicologists, and ethnomusicologists. Arts and artists flourish, musical journeys are launched and take unexpected turns, and exceptional resources—both human and institutional—support creative work. Students do not have to be music majors or minors to participate in the Hopkins Center ensembles or take the Music Department's Individual Instruction Program lessons.
The study of Studio Art offers students a serious and sustained exploration of the creative processes in visual art. Technical, perceptual and aesthetic issues are addressed in a historical and contemporary context.
The Studio Art major at Dartmouth consists of architecture, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Each discipline's dedicated page further details the classes taught in each area, introduces the faculty who teach them, and shares student work in each area. Classes in the department are structured so that students experience the creative process through a direct and dynamic engagement with visual media. Pedagogy is broad, with equal emphasis on representation and abstraction. Interdisciplinary investigations between studio areas and other departments are also encouraged. A required senior seminar serves as the culminating experience in the major.
Theater is a multidisciplinary form in which all of the arts and humanities intersect. Thus, the study of theater cultivates skills in collaborative, creative, and critical thinking. The theory and practice of theater are inseparable—and mutually beneficial—in this endeavor.
The Dartmouth Theater Department provides students with a distinguished, challenging and integrated course of study in the history, literature, theory and practice of theater—both in the classroom and in production. The department's curriculum prepares the serious theater student for graduate study, a professional career in theater, or both. Faculty members draw on both a depth of experience that spans both the academic and professional theatrical worlds, and they are committed to providing every student with close mentorship and individual attention to foster a deep and lifelong appreciation for theater.

Pollution is the new UV, thinking goes. Model Georgina Grenville in a Hood By Air suit.
Global warming gets decidedly personal when it affects our health and our looks. So what can we do to protect ourselves?
Climate change, though it may fill us with foreboding, is a problem we tend to think of in the abstract—melting ice caps and weird weather patterns are big, global concepts, and well they should be. But what many of us don't realize is that climbing temperatures are affecting us right here, right now. With every jog we take or drink we consume at a sidewalk café, deteriorating air quality is exposing us to tiny atmospheric particles that may take a radical toll on our bodies, as well as our complexions.
Kim Larsen, a Brooklyn writer, has for the last few years coped with seasonal allergies. Last year, when counts soared to a news-making "pollen tsunami," her immune system weakened, and the area around her eyes became irritated, making it difficult to open them in the morning. Larsen waited six weeks for rain to come and rinse the city air of tree pollen, at which point she began to recover and the sensory nightmare gradually faded. "Until this past spring," she recalled, with an air of defeat. "And then it started all over again." Were pollen apocalypses, she wondered, becoming an annual fixture?
Actually, yes. Warming temperatures act as a stimulant to the production of pollen and other allergens. They also exacerbate ground-level ozone, the main ingredient in smog. Add to this account the harmful emissions we continue to put into the atmosphere, and the resulting environmental exposure can wreak havoc on our well-being on the most intimate of scales: in our lungs, our noses, our eyes, and even our skin.
Boston dermatologist Arash Mostaghimi, M.D.
A 2010 study conducted by scientists at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine in Düsseldorf looked at two groups of older women, one that lived in the German countryside and another in the city. It showed up to a 22 percent increase in hyperpigmentation and wrinkles among those residing in the more contaminated setting. Another just-published study of compromised air quality, from Sweden's Umeå University, presented even more alarming results: Small increases in air pollutants were associated with a significant increase in treated psychiatric problems among children.
Pollution is the new UV, the thinking goes, and cosmetics companies are fighting back with skin-care products designed to defend against the smog and soot that have become so prevalent. Vichy's Pureté Thermale impurity-removing cleansing gel draws on extracts of the moringa seed, part of a plant that is commonly used to purify water in those regions of Africa and Asia where it grows. There is also a new crop of creams and serums, like Elizabeth Arden's Prevage City Smart, that function like a shield to prevent airborne particles from infiltrating the skin's deep layers while using potent antioxidants to offset the free-radical damage associated with particulate matter.
Of course, no cream can rid the air around you of pollution. So what else can we do to protect ourselves? Shut your windows and set air conditioners to recirculate. Limit strenuous outdoor activities to early morning, when most ozone and pollen levels are depressed. Molly Rauch, a fit and healthy mother of three in Washington, D.C., whose childhood asthma symptoms have recently returned, frequently visits Airnow to check the ozone level. "If it's an orange day"—unhealthy for sensitive groups such as children, the elderly, and the infirm—"I limit the time I spend outside, especially playing with the kids at the park or the pool," she says.
Wash your face thoroughly to clear away residue after spending time outdoors, and always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, says Sethi, who counsels her patients to reapply it every two hours, if not more often. "Other sensible things are to wear long sleeves and a wide-brimmed hat," she advises. If you'd like to interpret that as a prescription to buy a Gigi Burris fedora, go right ahead.

Manitoba doctor praises FDA crackdown on antibacterial soap claims | CBC News Loaded
Manitoba doctor praises FDA crackdown on antibacterial soap claims
A recent crackdown by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on how antibacterial soaps may be marketed has the support of University of Manitoba researcher Denice Bay.
Industry has not proven chemicals like triclosan are effective at killing bacteria, Denice Bay says
CBC News · Posted: Sep 03, 2016 12:37 AM EDT | Last Updated: September 3, 2016
There is no scientific evidence that antibacterial washes are more effective at preventing the spread of germs than plain soap and water. (Shutterstock)
A Manitoba researcher says she is glad companies that sell antibacterial soap will no longer be allowed to market the product as being somehow more effective at stopping the spread of germs than ordinary soap and water.
On Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced new restrictions on how antibacterial hand and body washes may be marketed.
The FDA issued what is called its final rule on safety and effectiveness of the soaps, saying it applies to products containing one or more of 19 specific active ingredients, including the most commonly used ingredients — triclosan and triclocarban.
FDA toughens stand on antibacterial soap labelling
"The FDA has been discussing with many of these chemical companies, many of which needed to provide evidence as to the efficacy of these drugs, and unfortunately I don't think that they've made a definitive case really proving whether or not these compounds are truly effective and necessary in soaps," said Dr. Denice Bay, a professor in the department of medical microbiology at the University of Manitoba.
Dr. Denice Bay is a professor in the University of Manitoba's department of medical microbiology. (CBC)
Bay said that not only have producers not been able to show that chemicals such as triclosan are effective, but they may even be making the issue of drug-resistant bacteria worse in the long run.
"Overuse of any compound puts a lot of selective pressure on bacteria to develop resistance mechanisms to these chemicals," Bay said.
The compounds can also make their way into the water table and interfere with growth and reproduction of plants and animals.
Following a 2012 Canadian government study, Health Canada and Environment Canada proposed that industry voluntarily cut the amount of triclosan it uses, particularly in personal-care products that tend to get rinsed away into lakes and rivers.
'Step in the right direction'
Lyne Morissette also welcomed the FDA ruling.
"To me it's a step in the right direction," she said.
Lyne Morissette makes her own soap. (CBC)
She was inspired to seek out natural alternatives when pregnant with her first child 16 years ago.
"My husband and I just decided we didn't want chemicals in our life," Morissette said. "We tried to go very natural. We got rid of all our cleaning chemicals first and tried to get all-natural foods."
From there, Morissette said they eventually decided to create their own soaps.
"We thought if we're not putting cleaning chemicals in our house then we don't want to be putting them on our skin and it morphed into a lifestyle for us," she added.
Antibacterial soap products now must either have the 19 active ingredients in question removed entirely, or else have marketing messaging attesting to their efficacy removed.
The rule doesn't apply to sanitizers or wipes.
Bay added that using regular soap and water is still the most effective way to wash up, as it is known to kill 99 per cent of bacteria when done correctly.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF DAUGHTER tell of Maria's harrowing journey to play the sport she knew was her destiny, first living as a boy and roaming the violent back alleys of the frontier city of Peshawar, rising to become the number one female squash player in Pakistan. For Maria, squash was more than liberation-it was salvation. But it was also a death sentence, thrusting her into the national spotlight and the crosshairs of the Taliban, who wanted Maria and her family dead. Maria knew her only chance of survival was to flee the country.
Enter Jonathon Power, the first North American to earn the title of top squash player in the world, and the only person to heed Maria's plea for help. Recognizing her determination and talent, Jonathon invited Maria to train and compete internationally in Canada. After years of living on the run from the Taliban, Maria packed up and left the only place she had ever known to move halfway across the globe and pursue her dream. Now Maria is well on the way to becoming a world champion as she continues to be a voice for oppressed women everywhere.

Two 'Dead Voters' Cited By Trump as Proof of Georgia Ballot Fraud Are Alive
By Daniel Villarreal On 11/13/20 at 11:47 PM EST
News Georgia 2020 Election Election Fraud Donald Trump
Two people cited by President Donald Trump's reelection campaign as dead people who illegally voted in Georgia's presidential election have turned out to be living people mistaken for deceased individuals.
On November 11, the Trump campaign claimed via Twitter that James Blalock—a World War II veteran in Covington, Georgia—had illegally voted in the election. A tweet from the Trump War Room Twitter account wrote that Blalock had passed away 14 years ago in January 2006.

— Trump War Room - Text TRUMP to 88022 (@TrumpWarRoom) November 11, 2020
The story was repeated by Fox News host Tucker Carlson and also posted by him in an opinion piece that ran on the network's website.
"Mr. Blalock was a mailman for 33 years until he passed away in 2006. Fourteen years later, according to state records, he was still mailing things," Tucker wrote. "James Blalock cast a ballot in last week's election."
"How did he do that?" Carlson's column continued. "Maybe he was just one of those extraordinary mail carriers; neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night nor even death itself could keep him from the mail. In his case, maybe voting from the grave wasn't really fraud, it was just commitment."

However, Newton County officials disavowed the claim, stating that Blalock hadn't voted, according to 11alive.com. Rather, Blalock's widow voted, and she is registered under his name as "Mrs. James E. Blalock, Jr." She also signed that name when she voted.
"The media reports of a deceased voter casting their ballot in Newton County are inaccurate," the county wrote in a November 12 post explaining the situation.
Both the Trump War Room Twitter account and Carlson's opinion article also mentioned Linda Kesler of Nicholson, who allegedly voted even though she died in 2003.

The Jackson County Board of Elections later clarified that a woman named Linda Kesler had in fact voted, but she is an entirely different person who "has a different address, birthday, and zip who is entitled to vote."
Nevertheless, Trump has continued to allege that widespread voter fraud in Georgia cost him the state which he won in 2016.
On Friday evening, Trump wrote, "Georgia Secretary of State, a so-called Republican (RINO), won't let the people checking the ballots see the signatures for fraud. Why? Without this the whole process is very unfair and close to meaningless. Everyone knows that we won the state. Where is @BrianKempGA?"
A RINO is an initialism for a "Republican in name only" and Kemp is the state's Republican governor.
As of November 13, Joe Biden is projected to win Georgia by 14,122 votes. The state has started an audit, and now local officials in each of the state's 159 counties must submit new vote counts by Wednesday night, two days before the state's election certification deadline of November 20, reports The New York Times.
Newsweek contacted the Trump campaign for comment.

Russian Navy heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov to return at sea in 2022
Naval News December 2020 Navy Forces Maritime Defense Industry
Posted On Saturday, 05 December 2020 13:58
According to information published by the Russian Press agency TASS on December 4, 2020, Russia's aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is ready to return at sea and to undergo sea trials in 2022 after the fire aboard the aircraft carrier in December 2019, a source in the national shipbuilding corporation told TASS on Friday, December 4, 2020.

A source in the shipbuilding industry said," Next summer, the Admiral Kuznetsov will be docked again and will be then set for sea trials, namely in 2022".
The Project 11435 heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov entered in service with the Russian navy in 1990. The design of the Admiral Kuznetsov class implies a mission different from that of the United States Navy's carriers. The term used by her builders to describe the Russian ships is Tyazholyy Avianesushchiy Kreyser (TAVKR) – "heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser" – intended to support and defend strategic missile-carrying submarines, surface ships, and naval missile-carrying aircraft of the Russian Navy.
The Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier has a 14,700m² flight deck area and she uses ski-jump technology to assist the aircraft during the take-off. The ship can carry a total of up to fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft including 18 Su-33 carried-based twin-engine fighter aircraft, 6 MiG-29K all-weather carrier-based multirole fighter aircraft, four Ka-31 naval helicopter, and two Ka-27 naval helicopters. The flight deck is equipped with arrester wires. Two starboard lifts carry the aircraft from the hangar to the flight deck. The ship has a crew of 1,690 sailors and an air group including 626 people.
The Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is armed with 6 AK-630 mm CIWS (Close-In Weapon Systems), eight CADS-N-1 Kashtan CIWS each equipped with 2 30 mm Gatling AA and 32 3K87 Kortik surface-to-air missiles, twelve P-700 Granit SSM anti-ship cruise missiles, 24 × 8-cell 3K95 Kinzhal VLS (Vertical Launching Systems) for surface-to-air missiles and RBU-12000 UDAV-1 ASW anti-submarine rocket launchers.
The is powered by eight turbo-pressurized boilers and four steam turbines, each producing 50,000hp, nine 2,011 hp (1,500 kW) turbo generators, six 2,011 hp (1,500 kW) diesel generators driving four shafts with fixed-pitch propellers. She can reach a top speed of 29 knots (33 mph; 54 km/h) with a maximum cruising range of 8,500 nmi. (15,700 km) at 18 knots (21 mph; 33 km/h). The Russian aircraft carrier has an endurance of 45 days.

DA NANG, VIETNAM - NOVEMBER 11, 2017: Russia's president Vladimir Putin (L) and US president Donald Trump during a meeting of world leaders on the closing day of the 25th APEC Summit.

Levin Report
Trump "Admired" Putin's Ability to Kill Whomever He Wanted: Ex-Staffer
Does anyone love dictators more than Donald Trump?
As Donald Trump made abundantly clear during his four years in the White House, he absolutely loves himself a good dictator. We know this because of the absurdly friendly relationship he had with some of the world's leading authoritarians while representing the U.S., which included but was not limited to:
Telling reporters he believed Russia didn't interfere in the 2016 election because Vladimir Putin told him so (despite U.S. intelligence agencies saying otherwise);
Buying the line from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that he had nothing to do with the murder and dismemberment of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi (despite the CIA concluding that the crown prince ordered the hit);
Taking Kim Jong-Un's word that he "didn't know about" the yearlong imprisonment of American student Otto Warmbier, who died days after being sent back to the U.S. with brain damage (despite the situation being a global news story and Kim being one of the world's foremost human rights abusers, who has ordered the execution of multiple family members, and runs a country that's been described as "the world's biggest open prison camp");
Inviting sadistic strongman Rodrigo Duterte to swing by the White House and applauding the Philippines president for doing an "unbelievable job on the drug problem" in a place where the government executes suspects in the streets;
Hosting Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who once oversaw the killing of more than 800 protesters in a single day, and telling reporters Sisi was doing "fantastic" work;
Praising Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is known for going after dissenters like a 16-year-old who allegedly insulted him, and a former Miss Turkey who posted a satirical poem about him on social media.
Naturally, leaving the White House has in no way dampened Trump's enthusiasm for despots; last month we learned that his "love letters" with Kim Jong-Un were reportedly among the documents he absconded with to Mar-a-Lago, and he has spent the last few weeks fawning over Putin, who recently invaded another country.
But just why is Trump so fond of these legitimately terrible people? The long answer would probably require numerous dissertation-length analyses by leading psychiatrists (with possibly many chapters on Fred Trump). But the short answer is that he quite clearly wishes he could get away with everything they have. No need to go to the trouble of trying to overturn free and fair elections when the elections have already been decided, and dissent? Not an issue for these guys!
Asked about Trump's relationship with Putin during an interview with The View on Tuesday, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said: "I think [Trump] feared [Putin]. I think he was afraid of him. I think that the man intimidated him. Because Putin is a scary man, just frankly, I think he was afraid of him. I also think he admired him, greatly, I think he wanted to be able to kill whoever spoke out against him. So I think it was a lot of that. In my experience with him, he loved the dictators, he loved the people who could kill anyone, including the press." She added: "And I will say this, just in watching all of this with [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, Donald Trump would be 57 feet below ground hiding. And Zelenskyy has been out there fighting for his country."

Zelenskyy personally thanks Biden for banning imports of Russian oil
In a tweet sent Tuesday, the Ukrainian president wrote, "Thankful for US and @POTUS personal leadership in striking in the heart of Putin's war machine and banning oil, gas and coal from US market." He reiterated his appreciation in a video posted later that day, saying, "The United States has taken a step that will significantly weaken the invaders. It will make them pay for aggression and be responsible for the evil they have done. For all the evil…. I am grateful personally to president of the United States…for this decision. For this leadership. For this most powerful signal to the whole world. It is very simple: Every penny paid to Russia turns into bullets and projectiles that fly to other sovereign states."
Just last week, the Biden administration said it did not wish to sanction Russia's oil and gas industry. But Biden was under major pressure from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers, as well as Zelenskyy—particularly as Putin targets Ukrainian civilians. During remarks at the White House on Tuesday, Biden acknowledged, however, that the move will lead to a significant increase in costs for American consumers. Republicans, despite lobbying Biden to ban Russian oil imports, have, obviously, already begun attacking Biden for this.
According to The Washington Post, the White House officials have "launched an effort to explore what the administration can do to get other authoritarian countries to ramp up their production of oil," considered tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and "revived discussions about a pause of the gas tax to help alleviate Americans' price pressures at the pump." (Republicans will no doubt try and use any fallout against Biden during the midterms, selectively ignoring the fact that they, too, called for this ban.) The president also warned energy companies against "price gouging" and told them not to "exploit this situation or American consumers."
Nevertheless, many have said the ban is necessary to inflict pain on Putin. Even former treasury secretary Larry Summers, who last year desperately wanted Democrats to cut down COVID-19 relief in order to avoid inflation, is on board. "History is going to remember much better what we did or did not do to stand up for freedom than it is going to remember the inflation rate, or the price of gasoline, in the spring and summer of 2022," Summers told The Post.
Or as Stephen Colbert put it, "A clean conscience is worth a buck or two."
In case you were worried Republicans had started to view Trump's attempt to extort Ukraine in a new light…
Worry no longer.

Q: PrintThis Not Capturing Checked Checkboxes So I am using the PrintThis JQuery plugin in order to print a form field, but for some reason I am unable to have the plugin print out any changes made to the checkboxes. When I click "Print", the only checkbox that appears to change is one that has a "checked" property by default. Any ideas on how to fix this?
HTML:

  <form>
    <input id="option" type="checkbox" checked>
      You are 18 years or older

    <input id="option2" type="checkbox">
      You have tested positive for something in your blood

    <input id="option3" type="checkbox">
      You have health-related kidney problems

    <input id="option4" type="checkbox">
      You have health-related skin problems

    <input id="option5" type="checkbox">
      You have a low platelet count
 </form>

<input id="printButton" type="button" value="Click here to download and print this checklist to review with your doctor." />

JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Hybridx24/bxtpv26x/

A: Not sure what the problem might be here, but you can get around it by explicitly setting the checked attribute for the checkboxes that are checked.
$("input:button").click(function () {
    $('input[type="checkbox"]').each(function() {
        var $this = $(this);
        if($this.is(':checked')) {
           $this.attr('checked', true);
        } else {
            $this.removeAttr('checked');
        }
    });
    $("#print").printThis({'importStyle': true});
});

Check Fiddle

A: So after skimming through the plugin's source.  Looks like there's a property for form values.  I added it in and it seems to work.
$('#selector').printThis({formValues:true});
http://jsfiddle.net/wzp0e9r9/

Danby Group Announces Warehouse and Distribution Center in Saraland
Danby Products, a manufacturer of appliances announced it will open a southern distribution warehouse in Saraland to serve customers located across the Southeastern U.S. in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina and parts of Texas. The operations will be located in a 125,000-square-foot facility that will ultimately include a small factory outlet retail store.
The new facility opened in April and is located at 252 Jacintoport Blvd., in the Mobile River Industrial Park. Once fully-operational, the company will employ 25 full time workers.
Eian Campbell, director of operations with Danby said the company evaluated the ability of numerous locations to receive inbound ocean containers in conjunction with a review of outbound transportation services – specifically road transportation and intermodal rail service. They also evaluated warehousing opportunities coupled with a review of the skill sets of the local workforce.
"The results of this study determined that Mobile and the surrounding area was the ideal location for the Danby group of companies to put its new distribution warehouse," he said.
Danby will be utilizing the Port of Mobile to receive incoming merchandise in ocean containers, and with this expansion, will be able to extend current business relationships with its transportation providers to utilize the readily accessible rail intermodal and transport truck over the road services.
"Danby is a great example of the positive impact that the Port of Mobile has on new and expanding industry. The new intermodal and container expansions at the Port will continue to support industry growth and investment in the Mobile area," said David Rodgers, project manager for the Mobile Area Chamber.
"This new business opportunity will enable us to grow our business with our current and new customers located in the southern United States," said Campbell.
"We are excited that Danby has decided to add Saraland to the list of cities it calls home. Mobile County and the entire region benefit from the diversity this distribution center adds to our business and industry profile," said Mobile County Commissioner Merceria Ludgood whose district is where Danby will be located.
"Danby's record of environmental stewardship makes it a welcome partner as we work to maximize port operations while protecting our water resources that we value so much."

Q: Why JVM cannot create object of class containing main method in order to access main method from that class, if it has the name of that class? Well, I am not understanding that why JVM cannot create object of class having main method.
If JVM can access main method by the name of that class then definitely it can create an object of that class right!
But what is the reason behind accessing main method by class name?
I am asking this question because, if JVM has the name of class to access main method then it definitely can create object of that class by using that name.

A: I think you are asking (in effect) why you cannot write your "main" method like this:
// (Note: this does not work ...)
public class Test {
    public void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello world");
   }
}

NB: main is not static in the above ...
The answer is:

*

*Because that is not the way that Java was designed ... in the 1990's.

*We cannot tell you why they designed Java that way, because we weren't in the room when the decision was made.

*We can infer that the reason that the (current) Java team haven't extended Java to allow you to do the above is because there isn't a pressing need to do so.  In fact, the static "main" method approach works fine.  There is a saying that goes:

If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

If you want your application's entry point to be via an object, it is trivial for you to code it to work that way.  For example:
public class Test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Test().main(args);
    }

    private void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello world");
    }
}

That's just 3 lines of extra code.
Note that the static main method is the simplest approach from the perspective of the specification of Java and the implementation of Java.

Charlie Sheen's Roast (or What's Going on in New York? Part 87)
Stand by for the hard facts about Charlie Sheen's Roast:
Everybody in the USA seems to be obsessing over Charlie Sheen's Roast – or, to give it its real title, "The Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen". It's been the biggest search on Google in the USA since early September. But what on earth is it? When I first saw the term I honestly thought it was some elaborate joke centred around the Sunday "joint" with all its drug references.
What was or is Charlie Sheen's Roast?
When I actually looked into it, I saw that Charlie Sheen's Roast was a two hour TV programme (including ads, so probably only around 25 minutes of actual insults), broadcast on the US Comedy Central network in September, that follows a tried and tested formula on American TV. The format began in 1949 with Maurice Chevalier, was famously hosted in the 1970s by Dean Martin and the latest edition was the recently screened Charlie Sheen's Roast. It's been attempted on British TV by Channel 4, but didn't catch on. More about that later…
For those who, like me, haven't a clue what a "roast" is – other than something British cooks cremate on a Sunday lunchtime – here's a quick run-down… A "celebrity roast" is an event in which someone in the public eye (the "roastee") is subjected to a barrage of mostly scripted comic insults and tributes from a panel of comedians and other well known faces, presided over by a "roastmaster".
It works because the "roastee" takes the insults and jokes in good humor and does not see them as serious criticism. In a bizarre twist on the concept of "This Is Your Life", many regard being roasted as a great honour. Watching Charlie Sheen's Roast, it seemed more like a lynching with jokes.
Charlie Sheen's Roast was scheduled for the very same Monday that Two And A Half Men aired for the first time with Ashton Kutcher in Charlie's long-time role. It all started going wrong for Charlie – in public, at least– on May 20, 1998, when CS was hospitalized after overdosing on cocaine. Various problems surfaced over the years and on October 26, 2010, the police escorted him from his New York hotel suite. According to the New York Police Department, Sheen admitted to being drunk and taking cocaine. Warner Brothers took the opportunity to fire him from the sit-com.
Since then, drug-taking and drinking to excess have been linked to the actor. There's even a website called charliesheenjokes.com, featuring barbed attacks on the actor, most of which aren't particularly funny. Here are five typically unfunny examples:
Saint Pat gets drunk on Charlie Sheen day.
Charlie Sheen won American idol using sign language.
Remember that time Charlie Sheen lost, me neither. Winning!
If NASA wants to put a man on Mars , just ask Charlie Sheen how he got here and reverse engineer it!
You do not drug test Charlie Sheen, however Charlie Sheen does test drugs.
Back to Charlie Sheen's Roast. I've seen most of it online and it's a pretty embarrassing two hours worth. The six (and a half) best Charlie Sheen's Roast gags (at least the ones that weren't too rude or cruel) are:
Charlie Sheen: "It's true, I've hung around with a lot of shady people over the years… losers, drug addicts, dealers, desperate whores. But to have you all here on one night is really special."
Amy Schumer: "Your marriage to Denise Richards, it was kind of like her Vietnam because she was constantly afraid of being killed by Charlie."
Jeff Ross: "Charlie if you're winning, this must not be a child custody hearing. Only time your kids get to see you is in re-runs. Charlie, don't you want to live to see their first 12 steps?"
Jon Lovitz: "How much blow can Charlie Sheen do? Enough to kill two and a half men."
William Shatner: "Prostitutes cost a lot of money, Charlie. Hasn't anyone told you that actresses will sleep with you for free?" and "First off Charlie, I'm eighty-years-old. You're what, forty-seven?…" [Sheen says: "Forty-six."] "…Then how come we look like we went to high school together?"
Kate Walsh: "Despite all those years of abusing your lungs, your kidney, your liver, the only thing you've had removed are your kids!"
Will Charlie Sheen's Roast kickstart a new TV trend?
The British attempts at Comedy Roasts came in 2010 when Channel 4 recruited Jimmy Carr to be "roastmaster" for a short series in which Bruce Forsyth, Sharon Osbourne, Chris Tarrant, Davina McCall and finally Barbara Windsor were roasted by the likes of… Jack Dee, Sean Lock (who summed up the mood when he ad-libbed: "If the money's right, I'll slag off anyone"), Gok Wan, Patrick Kielty, Keith Lemon and Chris Moyles.
Channel 4's tag-line to the series takes an optimistic upbeat view of it all: "A host of comedians and celebrities pay fond – and irreverent – tribute to some TV legends in these star-studded Comedy Roasts." Yes, we don't really have the same skills as our American cousins (these were not in the same class of vileness as Charlie's Sheen's Roast) … or the same tastes.
I'm pretty sure that Channel 4 have now dropped the idea of any more UK Celebrity Roasts and the chances of Charlie Sheen's Roast making it on to mainstream British TV are (thankfully) remote.
