According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 115+ people die from opioid-related drug abuse every day.
41 years ago, millions of music lovers wept to the news that Elvis Presley, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, was dead. Only 42 years old but a mere shadow of his old self, Elvis succumbed to the deadly combination of Dilaudid, Percodan, Demerol, and codeine — as well as Quaaludes.
Not too long back, a 30-year old Samantha Jones was charged with criminal homicide, killing her 11-week old son by breastfeeding while using drugs. The deadly cocktail: methadone, amphetamine, and methamphetamine. May not be an intentional killing, but definitely reckless to know these drugs were in her body and continue to breastfeed.
The opioid epidemic in the U.S.
According to CDC, no less than 64,000 drug overdose deaths took place in the United States in 2016- and opioids accounted for two-thirds of those deaths. Dangerous opioids such as heroin and fentanyl contribute to two-thirds of the death. This is a killer that knows no geography, age or socioeconomic factor. The killer strikes farmers and Hollywood celebrities alike. To opioids, the homeless population is as same as city dwellers.
In the late 1990s, pharmaceutical companies reassured healthcare providers that patients would not become addicted to prescription opioid pain relievers and physicians began to prescribe them in larger numbers. This led to widespread diversion and misuse of opioids before it became clear that opioids could actually be addictive. According to a research, roughly 21% to 29% patients that have been prescribed opioids for chronic pain end up misusing them. Opioid epidemic has become a public health crisis with consequences which are nothing but devastating.
And it's not just opioids. Prescription drug abuse does not only occur with opioids. Central Nervous System depressants and stimulants are other two classes of prescription drugs which are highly misused. In fact, CDC reveals that the number of Americans who took at least one prescription drug rose from 43.5% in 1999-2000 to 2007-2008. The number of people using two or more drugs went up from 25.4% to 31.2%, and the use of five or more drugs jumped to 10.7% from 6.3%.
Where did healthcare go wrong?
In a lot of cases, people addicted to prescription drugs reach out to multiple physicians to obtain their medications, also known as 'doctor shopping.' The practice of doctor shopping can take many different forms, and often takes place in emergency rooms or urgent care clinics. Patients usually go in, complaining about a bunch of different symptoms, perhaps even under different names. They might even pay for the medications in cash instead of using their insurance.
If we look closely at most of the cases about prescription drug misuse, it hardly ever happens that physicians are aware of the 'shopping' patients have been doing. They are unaware of the lethal combination to which the patients are subjecting themselves. But physicians can't be blamed entirely. Nor is this issue confined to just one region.
Regions like West Virginia, Ohio, and rural New England have significantly high rates of prescription drug abuse. And California alone has witnessed 1,925 opioid-related overdose deaths in 2016, and who knows how many emergency room visits. In addition, deaths from consuming street heroin as a cheaper alternative to costly prescription drugs have shot up by 57% since 2012.
Most states have some sort of prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) in place, and while California has kept a prescription drug history database for providers to consult, many of them have ignored it.
To combat the prescription drug misuse, the Department of Justice of California has mandated the California providers to consult the Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System, called CURES. Starting October 2, 2018, California physicians and prescribers are required to consult the CURES database before prescribing, ordering, administering, or furnishing a Schedule II, III, or IV controlled substance.
By logging into the web-based database, prescribing physicians would be able to view a patient's prior activity report, including previous prescriptions, prescribing provider, drug volume, and refills. The physicians can also view if the patient has reached certain thresholds for drugs. Armed with this information, physicians can easily spot a doctor shopper or indications of a dangerous medication combination. Physicians can also provide drug safety warnings or deny the patient's request for prescriptions on solid grounds.
CURES debuted in 1997 in California, as an investigative tool for the DOJ. The first rollout was clunky at best and far from being a user-friendly interface in a time where physicians were just getting the hang of EHRs. Even though it was revamped in 2009, it was found that less than 10% of physicians were even using it. In 2016, CURES 2.0 was unveiled with a much-improved interface, but there was little luck getting providers to sign up for it. As the DOJ certified CURES 2.0 in April 2018, practices have six months to put the database to use.
CURES allows the psychiatrist to see what the primary care physician is doing and the emergency room physician to spot the prescriptions that an OB-GYN wrote. The law requires all healthcare providers to visit the database before issuing new prescriptions to patients, or once every four months if the prescription is a part of the care plan. There are certain exceptions such as EDs can prescribe non-refillable seven-day supply without consulting first or a five-day refillable prescription where consulting CURES is not possible.
Will the mandate be effective in controlling prescription drug abuse?
Despite the mandate for all California practitioners, some physicians are skeptical given the technical glitches CURES has shown in the past. After all, the hardly-user-friendly interface was the reason why providers skipped it back in '97, and the current format is bound to add extra, time-consuming steps to daily workflows.
CURES could still need some improvements though. Having the prescription insights pop right at the point of care could be useful. The information about a patient's past prescription as it was in the CURES database could be pushed directly to the physician as soon as they look a patient up in their EHR. All the prior information about a patient's prescription could be available to the physician right when they need it.
Will CURES 2.0 be enough?
CURES 2.0 is a powerful step by California, but it only addresses part of the problem. According to a federal survey in 2013, two-thirds of people misusing drugs have not been prescribed to them, so they won't be listed in the database. And the mandate to consult CURES wouldn't have teeth unless there's a hefty penalty on providers who don't comply.
More importantly, it's about the trust and the relationship that inevitably develops between the patient and the physician. As the level of trust increases between the physician and the patient, the patient is more likely to share their concerns and the physicians can evaluate the need for prescriptions.
With CURES 2.0, California will be among several other states such as New York, Kentucky, and Tennessee that require prior consultation with a database. And while these mandates have been known to reduce prescription drug abuse, the real challenge that needs to be addressed lies in how physicians access this data and leverage it to deliver care. Whether the patient is out getting doctor-to-doctor prescriptions or needs help, the physician should be the first one to know. It could also help doctors protect themselves against unwittingly feeding the habits of resourceful drug abusers. But it requires stepping up, and it requires stepping up now.
To learn more about how CURES 2.0 can be simplified to combat drug misuse and the opioid crisis, get a demo.


The Christmas Calendar that I designed was another project for TradaCasino and its success determined us to develop more this concept as an efficient promotion tool. So, later on I created the concept for Adventure Calendar but this is another story that I will tell you later. The mission was to create a responsive website that will be focused on promoting the Christmas promotions.
Oh, Christmas is the season of stories so I could tell you lots of them but the story of this layout is perhaps not so much interesting like the other stories that I know from when I was a child. This is perhaps more a technical story. Once, a guy asked me from where he should start learning about the web design. Hm, good question, isn't it? I told him: "go and read some semiotic studies." Perhaps it wasn't the right answer for him in that moment but it was related to a discussion that I had with someone a few minutes ago when I realised that most of the "communicators" knows about marketing but almost nothing about semiotics. Coming back to our story, Christmas is the event perhaps most charged with signification, symbolism. It's a cocktail I would say, using a word more related to our talk. Creating a concept for a casino promotion website themed for Christmas was, as you can see, very fun. Christmas is for presents. I would say that today Christmas is more a present season and its original meaning has less importance in an open world but giving a gift, a present to someone means to celebrate in the other your essence so its not too far away from the beginning.
Finally we had a fully responsive Christmas experience across all the devices. With lights and funny cartoons. And of course, with present, lots of presents for everybody. The feedback for this experience was amazing so I'm really proud of this product. And like most of my projects, perhaps this would be a starting point for another one that will focus more on the rich experience around the user. Oh, yes, and related to the semiotics, I would love to create a design version of Christmas Calendar for Australia.

Back to Men's Basketball coverage
Keegan
Tom Keegan: Devonté Graham and Frank Mason III driving KU's success
By Tom Keegan
Photo by Nick Krug
Kansas guard Devonte' Graham (4) reacts to being called for a foul after stripping the ball from Kansas State forward Wesley Iwundu (25) during the first half, Thursday, March 10, 2016 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.
Kansas City, Mo. — Nothing lasts forever. One of these decades, Bill Self will retire, an athletic director will botch the hire, and the once-proud Kansas University basketball program will have to cobble together a backcourt out of one player who committed to Towson, another to Appalachian State. And what will come of the Jayhawks then?
Wait, that's right, Frank Mason III originally committed to Towson, Devonté Graham to Appalachian State. They both found their way to Kansas to start their careers and they have developed into one of the top handful of backcourts in the nation.
"The reality is, when Devonté and Frank play well, they drive us more than anybody else," Kansas coach Bill Self said.
Both played exceptionally well Thursday in KU's 85-63 blowout of Kansas State in a Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal played in Sprint Center.
Kansas basketball v. Kansas State (Big 12 Tournament)
View a gallery of images from the Jayhawks' Thursday matchup against the Wildcats at Sprint Center.
Towson and Appalachian combined for 27 points, 15 assists and three turnovers in 66 minutes. Kansas State coach Bruce Weber tried to stop them with a mix of man-to-man and zone defenses with equal futility.
Graham and Mason are playing as aggressively as a tandem as at any point. Self keeps asking more of them and they consistently deliver. Early in the season, when we all marveled at their astronomical assists-to-turnover ratio, peered into the mouths of the gift horses and found the flaw to the numbers. The numbers, Self contended, meant they weren't aggressive enough, didn't force their way into the paint often enough.
So they became more aggressive, the turnovers went up and opposing defenses sweated more than anyone whoever stood behind a podium next to Donald Trump. In time, the turnovers came back down. That's how it goes with Self. He drags players out of their comfort zones, they get a little worse, get the hang of it, come out of it all a whole lot better.
Box score: Kansas 85, K-State 63 (Big 12 quarterfinal)
In the past three games, Mason has 18 assists and three turnovers. Graham has high turnover games here and there, but he had eight assists Thursday with one turnover and he really has turned up the defensive pressure. Graham was the most aggressive player on the floor at both ends in the first half, when he scored all of his 11 points.
"The guys expect me to be a defensive presence, pressuring the ball, getting deflections, steals," Graham said. "I come out and try to keep that energy up so we won't be flat on defense."
His coach's words no doubt bouncing around his brain, Graham spoke to his imbalanced game.
"In the second half, I was kind of lackadaisical on defense, as coach said, started getting lazy a little bit," Graham said. "In the first half I tried to get in the passing lanes, get steals, find the open man and knock down open shots."
Press Conferences & Post-Game Interviews
Self, Mason and Bragg discuss tourney win vs. KSU
Kansas basketball coach Bill Self, as well as Jayhawks Frank Mason III and Carlton Bragg Jr. answer questions from the media following KU's 85-63 victory over rival Kansas State at the Big 12 Tournament, in Kansas City, Mo.
As the season has progressed, Graham increasingly has made opposing guards pay for timid play, unsure passes.
"It's just anticipating them, reading a person's eyes and knowing where you think that next pass is going to go," Graham said. "Coach always stresses, get up in the passing lanes, deny, all that kind of stuff."
Kansas will have a chance to tidy up its zone offense today against Baylor. An experienced backcourt is so key in picking apart zones.
"It helps when you know where guys should be on the court, you know the spots that are going to be open on the zone. As a young guy you might not know where to attack the zone or know the things you need to do to get the ball to the spots that are open on the zone."
If Kansas faces a zone in the NCAA tournament, attacking Baylor's Friday will serve as valuable preparation.

That # Asts is impressive. But I expected it because they both are capable of doing that. And they are our answers to zone-D, too. It's very encouraging to see them sharing the ball like that. I just wish Selden will just take off anytime soon.
Jared Reeves 5 years, 10 months ago
I couldn't agree more.
Ron Sterling 5 years, 10 months ago
Does Devonte have a legit shot at the NBA? I know he's not a spectacularly athletic guard and just barely passes the height test at 6'1", but his efficiency numbers are right there with a lot of 1st rounders, and if he can defend a guy like Heild, he can defend in the league. He just hasn't been the take over the game type, largely because he hasn't needed to be.
Harlan Hobbs 5 years, 10 months ago
Good question, Ron. As you say, on the surface, the answer would be "no". However, I wouldn't count out anything with Devonte. He's just a sophomore, and assuming he completes two more years, who knows. However, even if a post-college playing career isn't in the cards, this young man has an extremely bright future, given his obvious leadership qualities. He seems mature beyond his years.
This entire article is very good, but the item I find most telling is how well Coach Self and his staff develop their players. The reference to their great "assist to turnover" ratio in the early season and the subsequent challenge of getting to those numbers again with far more aggressive play is a brilliant insight.
Freddie Garza 5 years, 10 months ago
....and to think our fanbase was all up in arms over not getting Kasey Hill, Tyus Jones and Emmanuel Mudiay.
Trust the coaching staff. They know more than we do.

Marissa López, English Associate Professor, named one of first-ever Mellon/ACLS Scholars & Society Fellow
Professor López's project is a collaboration between UCLA and the Los Angeles Public Library to bring Mexican America to life
Associate Professor Marissa López is one of the recipients of the inaugural 2019 American Council of Learned Society(ACLS)/Mellon Scholars & Society Fellowship. The fellowship provides faculty, who work with and advise graduate students, the opportunity to usher projects in the humanities beyond the academy as well as to work within their campuses to strengthen doctoral curricular innovation.
Professor López's project, Picturing Mexican America: A Digital, Visual, Networked History of the Future is a collaboration between the Los Angeles Public Library and UCLA to use geolocation technology to display historical images of Mexican Los Angeles relevant to a user's coordinates through a mobile app. Guided by librarians at both institutions, student researchers will comb LAPL and UCLA archives for photographs, maps, and historical documents. In consultation with public outreach staff at both UCLA and LAPL, this project is developing user engagement strategies that digital humanities staff at UCLA are bringing to technical fruition. Collaborators will work with LAPL event coordinators and branch librarians on events designed to introduce library users of all ages to the app, inviting their reflections on Los Angeles' rich, Mexican history and its relevance to both their own lives and contemporary politics.

Criminal statistics on sexual violence
Criminal statistical data included
Overview of sexual offending in England and Wales. Includes: the victim experience; the police role in recording and detecting the crimes; how the various criminal justice agencies deal with an offender once identified; and the criminal histories of sex offenders.
Reference period
It is presented either in terms of calendar years, financial years or other relevant time periods, reflecting the reporting cycles and data collection of the Departments contributing information for this publication.
Frequency of updating
This is the first time such report is released. Still unknown if this will be a annually bulletin.
Court data: Statistics on the duration of criminal cases completed in the criminal courts are sourced from linking together extracts taken from the Crown Court case management system (CREST) and the magistrates' court case management system (Libra MIS). The datasets are produced by firstly collecting all Crown Court cases disposed of in the specified quarter and looking for a match for the defendant with the same offence in the magistrates' court data. Records are linked based on a combination of variables including given name, middle name, family name, date of birth, sex, postcode, a committal date, and two identifiers: the Arrest/Summons Number (ASN) and Pre-Trials Issue Unique Reference Number (PTIURN). Where the case is fully disposed in the magistrates' courts during the specified time period, the timeliness data for such cases is collected from the Libra MIS extract and added to the dataset. Prison (offender management): Prison establishments record details for individual inmates on the prison IT system (either Prison-NOMIS or LIDS). The information recorded includes details such as date of birth, sex, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, custody type, offence, reception and discharge dates and, for sentenced prisoners, sentence length. The data from individual prison establishments then feeds through to a central computer database, called the Inmate Information System (IIS), from which data extracts are used to produce the various analyses of prison population, receptions, discharges and time served in custody.
Quality assurance process
Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, these data have been extracted from survey and large administrative data systems generated by the courts, police forces and other agencies. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure the limitations of these data are taken into account. The data presented is largely from published government statistical releases and reports, but on occasion has been supplied by criminal justice agency colleagues. Quality specified per source: Court data: A range of quality assurance measures have been carried out on the data. These include ensuring the data are complete, case events follow a logical date sequence with recorded offence information, and all breach cases are excluded. Times are analysed for anomalies or error, including the removal of cases with recorded durations of over ten years to ensure the average times reported are not distorted by incorrect data. Data cleaning is also carried out prior to matching the magistrates' court and the Crown Court datasets to ensure that minor differences between the recording of similar entries on the two systems do not materially affect the ability to match records. The CREST system and Libra MIS reports provide good quality data and a high rate of data linking, with typically around 95 per cent of Crown Court records on CREST being successfully linked to a defendant recorded at a magistrates' court case on the Libra MIS extract.
No information. The complexities of the criminal justice system and the constraints on resources in collating and processing data limit the amount of information collected routinely, so only the final outcome of proceedings at magistrates' courts and the Crown Court (where applicable) is recorded.
Limitations. When interpreting the flows of offences and offenders through the CJS, it is important to note the various stages of attrition and the inherent challenges associated with detection and prosecution of crime, in particular with sexual offences. Second, the issue of 'downgrading' of offences (when a decision is made by the Crown Prosecution Service, between the initial hearing at the magistrates' court and the first hearing at the Crown Court, that the initial charge is incorrect and should be changed to another offence) as they move through the system presents analytical challenges and requires careful consideration when interpreting the statistics. For example, one method of calculating rape conviction rates often used by commentators shows the number of people convicted of rape as a proportion of all rape crimes recorded. Given the different currencies of the two number and the effect of downgrading of offences through the CJS mentioned above, this method is incorrect and misleading in terms of presenting evidence on convictions for rape
Providing such an overview presents a number of challenges, not least that the available information comes from different sources that do not necessarily cover the same period, the same people (victims or offenders) or the same offences. For example, the results from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) are based on self completed questions from a representative sample of adults (aged 16 to 59), asking about an individual's experiences of sexual offences in the last 12 months. The police recorded and court information cover all sexual offences, as legislated for in law, committed against any individual irrespective of age or when the crime took place, but exclude the large volume of crimes not reported to the police.. Other issues that prevent direct comparisons include: the CSEW focusing on the most recent experience of adults as a victim of sexual offence in the previous 12 months (thus, for example, does not include sexual offences experienced by children or those aged 60 or over); police recorded crime figures being based on offences per victim (i.e. for each victim in a given incident, a crime is recorded) in the year the crime was reported, irrespective of when the offence took place; the criminal justice outcome information (e.g. cautions and convictions) being on an offender basis at the date of the final outcome, again irrespective of when the crime took place. The latter two points mean that figures between the police and court sources will differ, as there will be crimes involving more than one victim or more than one offender, or possibly multiple victims and offenders relating to a single crime. It is not currently feasible to track individual cases from initial recording by the police through the CJS.

Ready or not…here I come! Little ones love all of the extra playtime that comes with summer; unfortunately, that also means there is more dirt and bacteria to keep at bay. California Baby's Hand Sanitizer is the perfect product to have on hand– a quick spritz, and the lemon and lime essential oils will protect your children from any germs lurking on the playground. Keep it in your purse or diaper bag and continue with your fun uninterrupted by summer germs!
You know whose summer was interrupted by germs? Kids growing up before the Polio vaccine. Since we have vanquished that summer killjoy, I am not worried about playground germs and I am not interrupting anyone's play to swipe and wipe. I don't even believe in clean.
There. I've said it. I believe in being outside and not spritzing anti-bacterial spray on anything, unless it's a flesh wound. I almost believe that when your kid is at the playground, filthy, that's when you WANT her to lick her hands.
Don't tell me you touched that filthy slide? Let me wipe you down! Next time, too!
63 Responses to Your Kids Play OUTSIDE? Obsessively Spritz them with Child Hand Sanitizer!
Say hi but think twice before shaking hands, lol.
"Don't tell me you touched that filthy slide? Let me wipe you down! Next time, too!" Why not do something (more) useful and just wipe down the slide instead?
Michael, don't spread misinformation. Hand sanitizer generally doesn't contain antibacterial agents like triclosan, so it doesn't contribute to the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Most hand sanitizers use alcohol. Not sure whether this one uses alcohol or just the citrus oil, but I suspect the result is the same.
Dirt has actually been proven to be GOOD for kids, especially for allergies, and bacteria/germs/viruses are more prevalent to spread in winter months, when kids are confined indoors, like at school. Ins summer, don't fear the filthy slide, it's the kid who sits next to mine that sneezes and coughs non-stop that's the threat when indoors.
Meanwhile, I'm about ready to send a note home with my students to leave all the stupid glittery scented sanitizer keychain things home. The kids are obsessed with them. They interrupt class to sanitize. The hyper-obsessive one can't concentrate if he doesn't know where his is… worst trend ever.
There we go, our kids are all going to be alcoholics. But at least they'll be germ-free alcoholics.
So THAT's why they're licking their hands!
I know this is a small matter, but as a former schoolteacher whose primary-grade colleagues made hand-sanitizer mandatory for their young pupils, and as a mother of a child with such severe eczema that his skin reacts to any kind of soap, let alone liberal applications of rubbing alcohol, I'm not looking forward to this aspect of the school system. Any opinions from teachers here: do I have even the tiniest hope in hell at convincing my son's early-grade teachers that I object to him being slathered in hand-sanitizer?
Absolutely! I would have NO problem with a parent asking me not to have their child to use it at school. Most of the teachers I know would just put a little note on their chart or sub file that he is supposed to avoid it. Next to all the allergies, etc., it won't even be a blip.
I teach 2nd grade and yes, you can probably make a case just by mentioning in the skin condition. I don't encourage hand sanitizer in my classroom–and yes, I have several kids who just can't have it including one who is allergic. I teach proper handwashing as the ideal.
My kids just earned some Summer Camp Money getting their hands dirty in the yard. Oh. And they talked to some Neighbors walking their dogs by our House. Oops! Bad Parents! I Really want to Have a Neighborhood Feel so We are working on it!
The sanitizer no doubt was endorsed by the Howard Hughes estate?
There is a saying I have heard among expats in African countries: Shake a hand, pick your nose and die. Sanitizer can come in quite handy in some places.
If you are going to bring something to the playground to wash your child's hands I would suggest wet wipes. They are meant to get rid of dirt and that is what you mainly need. If you use hand sanitizer on dirty hands you will just move the dirt around. Sure, you might kill a few bacteria but wet wipes will probably do that as well by moving them away from the hands instead. Yes, there are brands of wet wipes that are terrible for your skin and the environment but there are also brands that are eco- and people friendly.
Kids should learn to wash their hands, with soap and water, after going to the bathroom and before eating, because that's what they'll need to do as adults to not spread colds and other diseases.
But they should get dirty, including dirty hands from being outside – psychologically and in terms of developing their immune system and not developing allergies.
I admit to be a little weird – I like the smell of hand sanitizer, especially the hospital strength stuff you're supposed to use evert time you open or close a door there (or so it seems ☺). So I use it whenever I pass one. Nothing at all to do with cleanliness, lol! Still, I get a kick out of the smell of petrol too….and anyone else sniffed Serbian whiskey? It's like jet fuel ☺.
Never bothered to get the kids to use it….even the immune deficient one only uses it in hospital, and never had any hassles with skin germs.
As full grown, healthy, or semi-healthy adults, please let us look back to our very own childhood. I do not remember ever using hand sanitizer, we didn't have it readily available. Nor do I recall frequently washing my hands in global fear of germs. I remember playing, getting filthy, eating after getting out of lake water (pretending to have "cleaned up"), and all other realities that send people today screaming into the night. We are still here, yes? We function everyday, yes? So will the now generation…relax…it's going to be okay. Hand sanitizer is a wonderful commodity, hand washing is a needed habit to form, however, neither can ever replace fun. Especially when you are five.
The playground that I found the need for hand sanitizer was the one at McDonalds. They never seem to clean those things down and if you live in a snowbound place, they are a nice activity to get the little kids moving for an extended time. (Outside is nice but little ones tend to not be able to stay out as much as older kids.) We washed hands and used the sanitizer before eating when we played on those things. If we didn't…we got sick.
Regular, outside park? Sunlight kills most of those germs. I didn't worry about the hand washing or sanitizer there. We often spent the afternoon at the park, with snacks, that kids could come get when they were hungry. We spent the time there because I needed time to socialize with other adults. I am glad the kids got to play, but I really needed that time to chat with others. The kids…they ran wild…hitting each other with pool noodle swords, rolling in the sand and grass, generally having a grand time with little parent intervention unless they got hurt and needed a kiss on the hurt.
We have 6 boys. A coworker once commented, "I don't know how your kids never get sick. I feel like I miss work all the time and I just have 2." I replied, "it's because they lick everything they see." She laughed. I was serious.
Not that I want them to kick everything, but there's 6 of them. I couldn't sanitize all of them even if I wanted to.
If you must sanitize — how about using a product that reflects the old-fashioned spirit of child raising.
My kid just developed one of the leading side effect for antibiotics (yuck). Her doctor recommended probiotics. Earlier this month her gastroenterologist asked if we had tried probiotics. So at the moment I am trying to feed my kid as much variety, and as many CFUs (colony forming units), of bacteria as I can. And I hand bottles of these bacterial sluries each morning to a teacher who is spraying the whole classroom with bleach water!
It feels like we are on the cusp of something revolutionary. The research about microbiomes is absolutely fascinating. The observed differences between sterile mice and regular mice. The evidence that mood disorders such as depression might be treatable by changing gut bacteria. It is all a little mind boggling. I wonder how far we are from the day when a new field of medicine opens in the treatment of the microbiome, when patients start getting lab work on their gut bacteria, maybe their household bacteria, and doctors prescribe bacterial cultures intended to create a healthy bacterial environment. An environment we would be warned against destroying with, bleach, alcohol, and anti-bacterials. No crystal ball here, but the potential changes seem vast, and the research seems sure to lead in a direction far from our current cultural obsession with sterilizing ourselves and our environments.
Is there a website where we can post videos and photos of our children doing things that the fear-mongers say are no-nos? We've discussed on this webiste how parents are afraid to, say, let their kids climb trees because they don't see anyone else doing it. Exposure therapy is one way that your fears can be reduced when you are exposed to the fear and no bad result occurs. Clinicians use videos and pictures as well as live events. Our gallery of "I let me kids to what???" could help.
Here's a pretty mild example of my children playing in the rain on a street. Sadly, we are the only family outside.
I went to a talk about this subject yesterday. So what I learned from actial praticing researchers and doctors: The anti bacterial soaps can do damage to our stomach bacteria. it's good for our immune system to get dirty. the fumes of cleaning agents and other crap can do way more damage to our health. There are more and more diseases that are linked to poor stomach flora.
One problem is that trees accessible to children (i.e., practically any tree not deep in a forest) has had the lower branches trimmed precisely to keep kids from climbing them (liability again). When the lowest branch is ten feet off the ground, it really isn't safe.
Indeed — the whole point of FRK is that the exceptions should not BE the rules.
At our last house, our neighbors were germ-phobes and ridiculous about letting their kids play outside (where they might get dirty). Once, their girls were over at our house and my kids were in the garden. My oldest pulled one out, wiped off the dirt on her pants, and took a bite. The look of horror on the dad's face was awesome. And it wasn't like mine was doing it to show off or anything…she just wanted a carrot, so she ate one. Offered some to the other girls, but they were taken home immediately.
My daughter's kindergarten class had giant bottles of the stuff everywhere. Remember when we simply washed our hands when we were ready for a snack?
When I was a kid, we could do things like that in De Verenigde Staten.
But now we're so "advanced" (rolls eyes).
One of my daughter's classmates collects hand sanitizers and has almost all of the different flavors/scents!
I think strawberry smells the best but we don't use the stuff. I do remember when we were that age and loved scratch and sniff books. Remember those.. also was a huge lover and sniffer of rubber cement. That was my favorite time of day, rubber cement -rolled bouncy balls we made for recess and sniffing that lovely chemical aroma! I wish they still used it and not the crappy/non-glue sticks. Bring back rubber cement!
Yet again we are being manipulated by fear/shame marketing techniques to buy a product. Fact: washing hands and the use of alcohol sanitizers can limit the spread of things like the common cold and certain infectious agents. This should be mandatory in THE HOSPITAL environment but for the rest of us just wash your hands before eating and/or touching your eyes/mouth/nose. (Good luck with getting small kids to do that.) Vaccinate your kids to help prevent serious illnesses and let biology and environment exposure take care of the rest.
Get a grip people! Even trying to seriously discuss the pros and cons of these issues helps to validate the faulty premise of these marketing ploys. Just realize that most of the time you are being played by someone and often just follow the money to find out why.
Ah, yes. What would they say to my growing up? My mother and father regularly hosed my brothers and me down BEFORE they would let us come in to take a bath. We had three classifications of clothes–school clothes (kept pristine as possible), play clothes (go be active and messy) and dirt clothes (not going in the washer until they were rinsed off…usually with us in them, see above). Getting dirty was one of the joys of our childhood.
Anna, with son with eczema: if a simple request doesn't work, a 504 for a medical condition would be possible. Also consider researching the instructions for your own homemade sanitizer with things like tea tea oil or lavender or whatever (probably garlic, too, but maybe not good for in public!).
Last year or so we had a 4 or 5 year old nearly die of alcohol poisoning b/c of these %$#@ scented and flavored hand sanitizers (they lick their hands and re-apply or something). I heard of a case somewhere else, too.
Anyone else think that a teaspoon of dirt a day keeps the germs at bay?
I grew up with this, raised my daughter with this, and yet we're still here to tell the tale. My kiddo has an iron clad immune system, and can kick any germ or virus within 24 hours.
And then keep some anti-itch cream on hand (ha! on HAND!), cause too much of that stuff irritates your skin.
Isn't this actually UNHEALTHY? Don't kids need to get a little bacteria in their lives in order to build up an immunity?
I don't think MichaelF was implying that the hand sanitizers contained antibacterial agents. But the article did say the purpose of slathering hand sanitizers all over your kids was to keep the bacteria away. The truth is, less bacteria in our children's lives mean less immunities too and I think that's what Michael was alluding to.
I am not a hand sanitizer fan, but it can be handy when your kids want to eat & the bathroom is not near by. Most of the time my kids don't get sanitized though.
There was an exhibit at the Museum of Natural History in New York about germs and bacteria (and also at the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey) and how most of them are healthy and good for you–so even my 6-year-old knows not to be paranoid about "germs and bacteria." This also applies to the craziness about peanuts, the very latest science is that kids should be exposed to nuts and peanuts as soon as possible to prevent allergies to them. Most of the the anti-peanut stuff is yuppie hysteria.
As a former teacher, I can tell you that you can exempt your kid from pretty much ANYTHING you dang well please, especially in the early grades. All it takes is a parental note to the school.
If the school gets up in arms about it because of hygiene or illness fears, get a note from your pediatrician explaining that hand sanitizer (or hanitizer, as my students used to call it), aggravates your son's skin condition, and that your boy will use soap and hot water to wash before lunch.
A 504 probably won't be necessary, but if it is, you can go that route too.
I can't help thinking that this fear of dirt is really a form of class-consciousness disguised as a health concern: "we're not like those peasants who need to toil in the soil". Obsessive cleanliness is often a form of middle-class virtue signaling.
Hand sanitizers do have their place in crowded indoor environments like classrooms. The bacteria and viruses that actually cause disease in people are overwhelmingly transmitted by (who would have guessed it?) people, not from the natural environment. Hand hygiene is important in environments where everything is being touched by everyone else. The outdoors generally isn't such an environment. About the only soil-borne disease of any significance that anyone is likely to be exposed to is tetanus, and what do you know, we've had a vaccine for that for more than 70 years.
Swopping microflora (germs if you will) is quite an essential method to develop a robust immune system. Clean babies have been linked to rising rates of allergy such as asthma. Even in polio, the problem of paralysis was when a child over the age of 3 got it. Exposure under 3 had a small fatality rate but the survivor's nervous system has a lot of redundancy below 3.
Do people actually make an effort to wash their hands before they eat?
Haven't done that since I was 6 years old.
@Warren — Depends on what we've been doing. If I was just scrubbing the bathroom or changing a diaper, I'm going to wash my hands. I do usually wash them before cooking though, so I guess I'm covered.
I was one of those sickly kids. I got EVERYTHING, and almost didn't pass 3rd grade because I was sick so much. This was in the early 70s, I played in the sandbox, ate food directly from the garden without washing, had cats and dog. Penicillin and vaccinations are things that helped to keep me alive.
My kids are the same way. They get most everything. They play in the dirt, have cats and dogs, ducks and geese, have eaten candy left behind at the playground in the sand…and one pretty much says the alphabet at light speed when he needs to wash his hand and most of the stuff ends up on the towel. Hand sanitizer is nice when we have to use a port-a-potty. That is pretty much the only time we use it.
I found out my daughter tested positive for MTHR (or something like that) a gene mutation that makes it hard to utilize foliate. One of other things that the mutation can do is to make people have a weak immune system. I am pretty sure she got it from me. We will continue on with the vaccination schedule because it makes sense to me to protect ourselves from the biggies if we can. Also flu shots so we don't have more hospital visits because of it. But otherwise, I want my kids to wash their hands when we get home from the grocery store, and before eating. Snacks…eh…eat them outside while you pet the ducks and geese. Come to the dinner table looking presentable.
Alcohol based hand sanitizers are fine. Though we don't use it often in our family. Usually for emergencies, like when we decide to eat out, and it's finger foods like burgers and fries. And there is no water and soap available. ie. Order fast food, then take it to a park to eat. But even then, there are times we still don't use it.
However, you will never find anything "antibacterial" in our home, except for cleaning supplies. Most antibacterial anything contains triclosan. Which, in long periods of use, can be harmful to the human body. If your going to use hand sanitizers stick with the alcohol based ones, and make sure it doesn't say "antibacterial". And make sure that it's unscented. Most scented sanitizers contain toxic chemicals.
Personally, I think it's good for kids to get dirty. Most of us here never used hand sanitizers growing up. I don't even remember them being around till the late 80's, early 90's. Kids immune systems are still developing, so you want them to be exposed to the daily "germs" they come across. Not saying eat with filthy hands. But if they just played in the playground, there's no need to be over vigilant and constantly getting them to sanitize their hands every 30 min. It becomes an unnecessary habit. And for some children, the fear their parents have about germs are automatically instilled in them. And they don't know why. So they just automatically reach for the sanitizers, just because.
I'm not a teacher, but I was so upset by the frequent use of hand sanitizer in my kids' classrooms, that I sent a note to school letting them know that I didn't want my children using the stuff.
Whatever happened to using soap and water? My guess is that having the kids make a pit stop at the sink to wash their hands was eating up too much classroom time. So much quicker to just squirt some sanitizer in their hands as they walk through the door.
This is mostly an aside but I just bought and am reading my way through "Free to Learn". What a great book suggestion Lenore! Parts really mesh with how I already thought children should play and learn and other parts are truly eye opening. I'm at a super boring conference exhibit booth and am almost done reading it.
And I don't use hand sanitizer unless forced to. Kids get dirty and should. I spent most of my childhood playing in the mud with my sister. We pretended it was a ritzy spa offering south carolina red clay masks.
Gah! Too much sanitizing is my pet peeve! Exposure to germs is one way to build up your immune system – why don't people understand that? Case in point – my boss and his family are sick all the time. He is huge believer in hand sanitizer, won't touch doorknobs, wipes down his desk with antibacterial wipes and washes his hands all the time. In fact, ironically, he washed his hands so much that they got dry and cracked and he developed a staph infection because of it, and ended up on IV antibiotics. His kids were "protected" from all the germs and they usually ended up as the kids hugging the toilet or getting strep throat.
We Americans are so neurotic about germs (though not as bad as the Japanese). Every time I see a parent wiping down the shopping cart or putting their babies in one of those cart covers, I feel bad for the overprotected kid.
Warren – I make an effort to wash my hands when I stop doing certain things. Often this is right before I eat. However, washing my hands just because I am about to start eating is not something I do.
Has anyone looked up the product?
Personally? I'm all about the hand sanitizer I don't really care about playground germs, but it's saved us from plenty of gross bugs that have gone around the school yard.
Same here for the most part. Then again there's been times I've left black fingerprints on sandwiches on busy days.
It felt good to read that.
P.S. For the past two years I have written notes to my kids' school specifically prohibiting them from using hand sanitizer. They have it in the classroom. I gave no reason, but told them it had to be soap and water. I wrote this on the medical disclosure form where they ask if they can give otc meds, in the additional notes section. I also told their main teacher via a personal note.
We use hand sanitizer at work (vision therapy office with lots of kids, elderly, and a good handful of immunocompromised patients). Personally, I don't use it; I prefer soap and water. I'm more concerned that surfaces (doorknobs etc) get wiped down because during flu season I've seen my whole staff get sick. I've caught Norwalk virus, swine flu, regular flu and some really nasty colds from my patients, even with reasonable precautions. However, after 12 years of patient contact, I get sick less and less often.
For my kids I only sanitize them (maybe) after using an indoor play area. Those places are germ havens.
Hand sanitizer is an absolute necessity for us (unscented, alcohol based).
Exactly 7 times a year for home football games after anyone uses the porta-potty.
For the bathroom at home, even after peeing, not usually. We know our own germs.


On Thursday, I finished my book. It's still -- tentatively -- titled "Love Chemistry," and I'm still looking for a good subtitle that explains that the book is about all the ways oxytocin lets us bond, trust and love.
Someone said to me recently, "I bet you'll be glad when it's finished." But I'm not. I loved writing it and wish I could have worked on it for six more months. I was finding new research on the very last day!
The manuscript is in the hands of my editors at Amacom books; I don't have a publication date yet. I can't wait.
Now, I'll shift the focus back to this blog, and keep reporting, explaining and ruminating. But now, I'm on vacation. I'm writing this in a wonderful old bed and breakfast in New Orleans, while lightning and thunder crash outside.

The Lancet's Slant
Epidemiology meets moral idiocy.
The word lancet means either an old-fashioned surgical knife used to open a vein for the once-popular cure-all remedy of "bleeding" or "bloodletting," or (in architecture, especially Gothic) a rather narrow window. Both metaphors seem apt for the British medical journal of the same name, which appears to be seeking a reputation for conjuring bloodbaths and then reviewing them through a slitlike aperture.
In its latest edition, the Lancet publishes the estimate of some researchers at Johns Hopkins University that there have been "654,965 excess Iraqi deaths as a consequence of the war." The figure is both oddly exact and strangely imprecise: It does not clearly state, for example, that all these people have actually been killed, but it does suggest a steep climb in the Iraqi death rate. In its attribution of cause, it is also more vague than it may appear. These deaths are the claimed result, be it noted, of "the war."
In December 1995, the Lancet published another equally disturbing document, this time a letter to the editor from Sarah Zaidi and Mary C. Smith Fawzi. They relayed the findings of a study they conducted for the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization that estimated that 567,000 Iraqi children had died "as a consequence" of sanctions imposed on Iraq by the United Nations in August 1990. Note, again, the slightly subjective definition of cause of death.
We haven't heard so much about the massacre of the innocents by sanctions of late, because the sanctions were lifted since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. But even before the invasion, the subject largely disappeared when "anti-war" forces suddenly decided that sanctions were permissible after all because they were helping to keep Saddam "in his box." The oil-for-food revelations also helped the complaints against sanctions go away by making it abundantly plain that those Iraqi children were dying because of sanctions-plus-Saddam. But it does seem, according to the Lancet, that hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were doomed to die, one way or another, in peace or in war, unless Saddam was left unmolested. Since the signature features of Iraq under the Saddam regime were the killing field abroad and the mass grave at home, this seems to leave few good options.
There have been several challenges to the epidemiology of the Lancet/Johns Hopkins team concerning their definition of a population sample. And it's been noticed that Dr. Richard Horton, the editor of the magazine, is a full-throated speaker at rallies of the Islamist-Leftist alliance that makes up the British Stop the War Coalition. But I see no reason in principle why anyone who endorsed the liberation of Iraq, and who opposes the death squads of the Baathist/jihadist "insurgency," should want or need to argue that the casualty figures are any lower. Let us assume, for the sake of argument, that they are correct. We then enter an area of evidence and reasoning where epidemiologists are not the experts.
If the cause of all this death is "the war," does that mean that the coalition has killed nearly 700,000 Iraqis? Of course it means nothing of the sort. Indeed, if you look more closely, you will see that less than one-third of the surplus deaths are attributed, even by this study, to "Allied" military action. Grant if you wish that this figure is likely to be more exact, since at least the coalition fights in uniform and issues regular statistics. That leaves, according to the Lancet, a pile of corpses nearly half a million high. Here, the cause of death becomes suddenly less precisely identifiable. We are told that 24 percent of the violent deaths were caused by "other" actors, and 45 percent of them by "unknown" ones. If there is any method of distinguishing between the "other" and the "unknown," we are not told of it.
Make the assumption that some percentage of those killed by the coalition are the sort of people who have been blowing up mosques, beheading captives on video, detonating rush-hour car bombs, destroying pipelines, murdering aid workers, bombing the headquarters of the United Nations, and inciting ethnic and sectarian warfare. Make the allowance for the number of bystanders and innocents who lost their lives in the combat against these fanatics (one or two, alas, in the single case of the precision bombing of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, just to take one instance). But who is to say how many people were saved from being murdered by the fact that the murderers were killed first?
Just in the last few days, we have read reports of a Sunni Muslim vice president of Iraq who has had three members of his family killed, and of the delightful insurgent practice of leaving "IEDs" in the mountains of garbage that bestrew Baghdad's slums so that ragpickers and garbage collectors can be randomly killed. No doubt the relatives of these victims report "excess deaths" in their family circle, as indeed they should. And it is true that some of the killers are sheltered within parties that have connections to the government. But the "tit for tat" confessional killings were and are a deliberate tactic of the insurgency and now threaten to spread into mass reprisals on both sides, while all the effort of the coalition is devoted to negotiating a compromise between the country's factions. It is simple moral idiocy to fail to distinguish between these phenomena.
The sanctions against Iraq were imposed because, for the second time in a decade, Saddam Hussein had forcibly occupied the territory of a neighboring state. (The number of Iranians and Kuwaitis killed as a result was quite horrifying.) In the meantime, his regime undertook a planned campaign of extermination in Kurdistan and conducted indiscriminate massacres in the south. Saddam laundered oil-for-food payments through the baby-formula market to help finance his palace-building, while Iraqi children were starved or stunted. His successors and allies did not allow one day of peace after the invasion before launching a hair-raising campaign of murder and sabotage and consciously inciting a civil war. The Lancet figures are almost certainly inflated, not least because they were taken from selective war-torn provinces. But there is no reason why they may not come to reflect reality more closely. It is a reminder of the nature of the enemy we face, and not only in Iraq, and a very clear picture of the sort of people who would have a free hand in Iraq if the coalition were to depart.

How much does it cost to install a home theater?
Home theatre installation cost depends on multiple factors and gross expenditures primary determined by home theater system prices and labor expenses to complete actual installation. There are multiple aspects should be taken into account while figuring out how much it costs to convert a room into a theatre. Contractor will issue an itemized estimate for completing the project only after analyzing scope of the work to perform and estimating work complexity.
Simple home theater which includes 5 subwoofer speakers with up to 100W power and 24" – 26" Plasma TV is very affordable option. Purchasing in-wall mount speakers, 3D LCD video projector and 16:9 106" motorized trap door screen with all necessary materials for proper installation of all theater components is quiet expensive solution. There is no average home theater price defined and difference in cost between basic cheapest and most expensive sophisticated system can easily exceed 900%.
Difficulty of work is an essential aspect in labor cost determination. Hanging flat screen TV on the wall and connecting all speakers is a simple task and cost of manpower for such work normally insignificant. Building custom home theater from scratch is much more expensive project. Labor expenses to frame new walls, complete wiring under the ceiling, finish and paint drywall could be more expensive than purchasing advanced system itself.
Home theater screen as well as projector can be easily bought online and delivered directly to your home address. If the budget is low always wait for seasonal sales and avoid purchasing latest system models which normally sold at highest price in first few months. Before making a purchase, always do research about a particular product.
Basic installation of simple home theater into 9' wide and 7' high entertainment center won't take longer than a few hours. But full conversion of any room or space in the house into custom home theater might take couple weeks to complete the work. It is impossible to define exact time or estimate number of man-hours with high accuracy before on-site inspection and defining all details.


The most frustrating question I get asked as an artist is, "How long did it take you to paint that?" It's a frustrating question, obviously asked by those with little artistic ability, and has no good answer. For the observer, it is an honest and easy question to ask, how else are they to gauge the monetary value of what they are looking at. But for the artist, it is not as easy to answer.
The greatest gift from the Magi was, and still is, the gift of hope. Whether you wish to believe the story or not, undeniably the story of the birth of Jesus Christ and the Magi has done more to influence history than any other singular event.

If Rube Goldberg were 1) still alive, and 2) looking for an apprentice, I'd be knocking on his door. Mechanical metal gear-y contraptions that do things make me happy. Whirligigs! Weathervanes! The "Perpetuball Motion Machine" at Salmon Run Mall in Watertown!
There is little time left to commission a pet portrait for a holiday gift, but gift certificates are available.
The Trash Transformer Project entered it's second year in 2010 with 8 artworks on exhibit representing the talents of 7 contemporary artists form the Central NY region. With a grant from the Cultural Resources Council, The Alchemical Nursery was able to provide these artists either $50 or $100 stipends for their pieces, and support their lifestyles while demonstrating our message in art.
I have always loved the beautiful old architecture of Downtown Syracuse.
There are so many unique buildings and styles; each a work of art.
I have been and probably always will be a landscape painter. I don't think there is ever a time when I am not noticing the landscape. Whether going to work, or to the store, or biking along the Erie Canal, I am always looking at the land, the sky and the water.

Margrét Erla Maack
Posted on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 by nannadis
It's the day after the night before; we're standing outside Ísafjörðurs old gymnasium and on our way to meet up with Margrét Erla Maack, television presenter and Bollywood dancer. She's here on unofficial business, in layman's terms she is on her holiday. Unlike the rest of us though, she is going about it in a slightly different manner. For the second year running she will be hosting a short introduction to Bollywood dancing. We are going to talk to her just before she takes to her craft.
How long have you actually been involved with dancing?
I've done belly dancing for around seven years and then Bollywood dancing for some four years now.
So you've been all in for the last four years?
Yeah, I've been teaching Bollywood for the last three years and belly dancing for the last six.
What got you started?
I had a really bad back, that got me started and then my master teacher in New York got me started on Bollywood dancing to increase my endurance levels.
I assume you have delved yourself into the phantasm that is the world of Bollywood films?
Yes, yes, you have to know what they are singing about, where the film comes from, whether context is one of sadness or joy. Also a lot of the dances we teach are straight from tape, otherwise I'd just be cheating.
This creative field is just immense, much larger than most people can imagine full of vibrant imagery and all manner of techniques, would you agree to that statement?
Definitely, and it shows when people are working with the style. Take La Boheme for instance, which is on at the Harpan. In one of the scenes, where they are introducing Musetta, it's supposed to be oriental and she is portrayed in a Mata Hari like manner. She is surrounded by a group of girls doing a mixture of belly- and Bollywood dancing and traditional hand symbols, but the one they are doing, means Devil or evil person!
That really was a bit of a shame, especially as there are quite few people that could have been called on to explain how they work and what they mean, it would just have been sorted there and then. I guess that to a lot of people, it's pretty much the same, but in truth that is as if you'd say Icelandic and German was one and the same language. You're sitting there going damn! This is the Icelandic opera, this shouldn't happen.
The reason there is such emphasis on dancing, is you cannot invest that much energy in the screenplay. There is a lot of illiteracy and such a plethora of languages within India that the plot cannot the overly complicated. What they do is keep the plot simple and go all in with everything else, especially the visuals and the sound. That's where their ambitions lie. In our "western" culture we place the emphasis on the storyline and the plot twists. If you where to take that angle you would lose a large portion of you audience. That is why you'll see them dancing the important message, over and over again, with slight variations in the words and the symbols, so that it reaches as many people as possible.
"I tend to use pop songs because they are fast and you can really dance to them"
The hand symbols are a lot like the deaf news, and that derives from the old story dancing where the dancers would tell a fairy tale with their movements and signs. They would gesture the symbol for dragon and a lot of it springs from Hindu mythology, where a number of the gods have more than two hands. (Margrét displays in one swift movement what is palpably a dragon with her hand and then she does a rapid movement with hear limbs that again visually portray the idea of a Hindu god) If you don't have these things 100% you can just forget about it!
When I create new dances of my own, I tend to use pop songs because they are fast and you can really dance to them. In the process I look at the lyrics in Hindi and then in the English translation. Then I move on to special websites that are just dedicated to hand signals.
In belly dancing it's a lot simpler, you dance softly to a harmonica whereas you up your tempo and dance hard to drums, it isn't a lot more complicated than that. This on the other hand has a lot of nuances you can really mess up so you have to be careful.
What has always got me, is the incredible escapism that they're selling!
Exactly! It's really no more than three major story lines and they are all on the line of "It will happen tomorrow, for you! You're next" The classic themes are: The guy that wins the lottery, but sill keeps his heart of gold and everyone thinks they didn't deserve it but he's such a nice guy. Then you'll have the Romeo and Juliet/West side story, where you have the lovers that can't be together. They meet the love of their life and they don't care if you're from another cast! That's where they're selling hopes to people.
Lastly you have the blockbusters that are set in a theatre or a movie set. The hook being that the lead actor dies, has an accident or gets stinking drunk even. The following scene will be on the set and there is high drama, with people shouting: What will we do now? Is there anyone that knows the score? Who could possibly jump into this role at this hour? And then all of a sudden the janitor with the broom steps up and goes: I'm pretty sure I can do it!
He will then go on to have a romance with the lead actress. In these scenarios the downtrodden character is always getting the chance of a lifetime and will always succeed on the purity of his heart. These movies are a sedative, a massive one! And that is kind of disturbing. We're sort of going ooh this is looks like such fun. When it's actually a tranquilizer on a national scale.
These are the major story lines that are going on, and in the ones that have a film within a film (the blockbusters), you might all of a sudden get a cowboy dance routine, it makes no sense whatsoever but it's in the movie that they are making in the film. They pull out all the stops, because it's the movie-making world and that is so exiting. This world is simply full of fakery. All the beautiful actresses never ever sing their lines and they don't hide it at all.
That's honest in a way?
True, wasn't it Julie Andrews that sang for Audrey Hepburn in My fair lady? So yes I guess so.
As a final note, I wanted to ask you why bring Bollywood to Aldrei fór ég Suður?
Well, I'm here anyway and this is my third year now coming to the festival. I really love what it stands for, and it's simply a case of wanting to give something back.
I phoned up the swimming hall and told them what this was about and they were nothing if not accommodating. They said you're doing this for free, have the gymnastics hall. And you know I've got a long summer holiday coming up and I might just come here and run a class, then people will know what it's all about.
I also feel strongly that this should be more than just the rock festival, that in the daytime there should be some other form of entertainment for the people that hadn't been out 'til one in the morning the night before.
It is obvious that Margrét works in television, for she is the perfect interviewee, she knows what you're looking for i.e. more than a simple yes or no answer, which is a nightmare scenario for anyone that has ever taken an interview. Her answers are filling and reach something deeper. You really get the notion that here is someone passionate about what she does and cares for how it is received.

What Do The Mariners Do Now?
Posted on July 18, 2014	by Megan Shear
I have been listening to the new-and-improved (I think, anyway), Brock and Salk show in the mornings, followed up by The Michael Gray show. This makes my mornings at work go a ton faster, and it has made Seattle sports radio a lot more fun than it was. After Mike Salk departed for Boston a few years ago, ESPN sort of lost its luster for me; not because of Salk specifically, but because his leaving basically "broke up the band", destroying a radio show that I just adored a few years ago. When working in the engineering department for Todd Shipyards, and then going to school, that show kept me sane. After they took the show off the air, I stopped listening to ESPN on any sort of regular basis, and started to feel very disconnected from the world of sports, particularly baseball. Brock and Salk talk about the Mariners with both a seriousness and lighthearted humor that you really only find in a fanbase itself, and made baesball fun to think about, regardless of how the team was doing at the time. So I was elated to find out that duo were coming back to the airwaves starting Monday of this week, and have been listening every day. I have enjoyed Gray as well, but am not as familiar with him just yet. So far so good, though! Makes the first five hours of work really breezy.
The most recent talk lighting everyone up, of course, are the rumors of the Mariners possibly obtaining both David Price and Ben Zobrist from the Tampa Bay Rays. The baseball fan in me sort of winces; Price and Zobrist have always been Rays, and it seems wrong to take them away from Tampa for 1) sooooo much money, and 2) possibly short-term (I am talking like a year or two, though admittedly I am not sure what either player's contract situation is, currently). But the Mariners fan in me is all about throwing as much cash and as many prospects at this problem as possible. I realize that is a very knee-jerk reaction to the rumor, and that there are many things to be considered here outside of the desire to winwinwin, but man do I really want to winwinwin right now.
So clearly for such a large deal, we need to consider what the trade would entail on our end. The names that have been brought up include Taijuan Walker, Nick Franklin, DJ Peterson, and I have even heard James Paxton's, Justin Smoak's, and Dustin Ackley's names being tossed into the mix from various sources (fans, mainly), along with Brad Miller's (on a personal note, nooooooooooo!!!) The Rays aren't stupid, though, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a team that would take a look at either Ackley or Smoak and hand over two major pieces like that, without a lot of other chips being thrown on the pile as well; and then at that point, you're just giving guys away for free, really, and there is no point in adding Ackley or Smoak to the deal, and we're still stuck with them and vice versa. Then again, this is just my impression from a Mariners standpoint; there are a lot of our ex-players who have found new life on other teams because those teams saw something we didn't or got lucky. You never know. Hear that, Tampa?! You never know!
In any event, a lot of feathers are being ruffled in a positive way, seeing the possibilities that might come with a Price/Felix/Iwakuma rotation (or a Felix/Price/Kuma rotation, or whatever combination you want to throw them into the mix in), and I have to admit it's ridiculously tempting to just give up prospects for this….
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The above paragraphs were written on my earlier break. I have now had the opportunity to finish listening to the Michael Gray show before lunch, and he had Scott Weber from Lookout Landing on to talk a little bit about the rumors floating around. Weber's on-air assessment featured something I had been mentally tossing around earlier today, but due to the nature of how I am having to write this while on breaks at work didn't get around to actually saying; that a Price/Zobrist deal now could actually mean being all in for 2015. I harbor no illusions that this Mariners team is going to the World Series. I believe they will come out above .500, and might even make a go at the division title, depending on what moves the front office makes in the next few weeks, but I just don't think that we make it past Oakland at this point in the year, and the Angels are reportedly heating up lately, with Mike Trout going nuts all over the place, so it would be a very difficult thing for us to do in 2014. But next year? A Price/Zobrist deal could definitely tip our hand.
Look, I'm as tired as anyone of the next year, next year mantra, but we are finally in a place where it might actually be true. Not Cliff Lee true, but for really real true. And while some others don't have a lot of faith in Jack Zduriencik, I think we might actually finally be seeing returns on what he promised us when he came onto the scene in 2009. The main problem might be the fact that Price is largely thought to have an anti-Mariners trade clause, but perhaps if we show him that we are absolutely serious about this move, he might change his mind? Seattle's really not a terrible place, Mr Price, and we'll love you like one of our own!
We shall see what has to happen. I am hoping it happens sooner rather than later, so that the fans know that Zduriencik is serious (and the team knows it too), and my fingers are crossed – as always – for the best possible outcome. Better writers than I have claimed that we now have something we haven't had for a long long time; hope. I think I'm feeling it a little bit, too, finally. Now let's play ball!

Fuck the archer bullshit!! Win the fuckn game!!


Fastest professional advertising localization services by 4000+ certified advertising localizers who offer accurate localization services in advertising for government, public and private sectors. Growing business in new markets, especially the global ones, is not an easy task. Amongst all killer business strategies, one thing that stands as the most important is, effective communication. Without this, you can never achieve international success, no matter how big brand you are, in your local market, or how big investment you made. Obviously, if your brand fails to communicate with the target audience, then why will they buy from you, or would they even bother to visit your website or read your advertisements. So, to be competitive in the global marketplace, you need to focus on localization, which will facilitate clear and smooth communication between your brand and the customers.
Every new market you target has a different preference for language and culture. Thus, you cannot persuade different markets with the same promotional material or message. The content must be in a localized version for every other market. This implies that the content must be adapted as per the language and culture of the target audience. As a result of this, more and more customers will get aware of your brand, and would clearly understand what your brand is trying to convey. Eventually, the communication barrier would be eliminated, giving a major hold on the target market.
☞ Boost Sales : One of the very obvious reasons to invest in localization is to get your sales graph rising. You can understand it this way that if you'll fail to communicate with your audience, you won't be able to persuade them; and no persuading means no sales. Thus, the advertising copy must be localized authentically, giving you huge opportunities in the foreign market. Similarly, with time passing by, you can localize other promotional materials as well, so that your competitors get no way left, to capture your audience.
☞ A Global Hit : Your desire to become a global hit is in itself a major need of outsourcing localization from a trustworthy service provider. Your brand may be doing pretty well in the domestic market. But, you cannot expect it to do the same globally, in the absence of authentic localization. You need to invest your time and money, just to ensure that the advertising copy is localized accurately and that the message gets straight to the hearts of the target masses.
☞ Better ROI : Again, one of the most important reasons why you should localize your advertisements and other allied materials. Investment in the overseas market would be much higher than that in the domestic one. Thus, the expectation regarding the returns will also be higher. But often, expectations fail to transform into reality, especially in the case of no or poor localized materials. So, if you want to get the success mantra, keep localization in mind at every step in the international market. The returns will improve, if every detail or info you provide is localized.
☞ Access to a Global Market : No one can ever stop you from entering the global market, if you have access to high quality localization services. This clearly indicates towards the effective communication facilitated between you and your customers. Hence, in simple words, you need localization to enter and capture the global market. Without it, transcending the linguistic and cultural barriers would be very difficult. Even translation would not be able to give you the desired results.
To get your message across and win over the hearts of your target customers, you need to take localization very seriously. Its absence can push you down, while its presence can make you the most loved brand on an international scale. So, decision is yours, whether you want to make it or break it. Ideally, you should invest in localization and choose the right vendor, so that there is no chance of error in the localized output. Your decision on choosing the service provider, will define your success in the target market, to some extent.
• We commit to offer superlative quality localization that no other company can offer. This is not a false claim; rather it is our promise that has transformed us in a trustworthy brand for more than 15 years, now.
• Our team consists of highly professional experts, who can handle even the bulkiest assignments with great ease. Also, we hold great expertise in localizing multiple types of projects (like website, apps, software etc.) as per different languages and cultures.
• We even assure 100% confidentiality for the localization project. Our team makes sure that none of the information in the original or localized content is disclosed to any outsider party.
In a nutshell, reaching out to new customers would be painless, if you hire us as the outsourcing partner. Not just you'll be able to eliminate the linguistic barriers, but also, get a golden chance to let your customers recognize you and convert into loyal consumers. Our team coordinates with you, understand your requirements and finally draft a perfectly localized content that connects your brand with the target masses. Also, we ensure that the message of your brand or advertisements do not get lost in localization process. Your message gets straight to the audience, in its purest form.
So, what are you waiting for? The business world waits for none. By the time, you are just searching and thinking about localization, your competitor might enter and capture your target market. Don't let this happen to you. Immediately decide on, what you want, how you want the strategies to be executed, outsource localization and dazzle the international market, like no one else. It's your time; let it be magnificent. For more details, you can contact our team and clear all of your doubts. Get started right at this moment!!

Ten women who redefined success in 2021
TechWomen
In a male-dominated world that is yet to break away from the conditioned rigidity of gender roles and stereotypes, a woman making her way to success is something to be applauded. In a society that tends to double marginalize women, it takes us extra effort to blend our efforts into a canvas of success, thereby moving away from the margins and taking up the spotlight that we deserve in all fairness. Particularly in the tech domain, a woman leaving her signature of success implies the potential we hold. It is also an indication that the echoes of change have become all the more profound. Here is a list of few women who made it to the top in the tech domain, redefining success with their stories forged with hard work and determination.
1.Gwynne Shotwell
Gwynne Shotwell, the president and COO of the renowned space exploration company SpaceX has a net worth of $460 million. Although it is unfair to count success in currency, one cannot help but be in awe of this skilled woman.
Gwynne Shotwell
She skillfully manages the operations of SpaceX. She has been working at SpaceX for the past 19 years. To be precise, when she joined the company in the year 2002, she was the eleventh employee and now, taking away a one from the eleven, we can say that she among the number one employees of the company. The role of president was indeed hard-earned. It was a reward for her brilliant negotiation with NASA in 2008. Shotwell has also held a place among the California Space Authority Board of Directors.
2.Alyssa Henry
Alyssa Henry is the head of the biggest branch at Square, in addition to being an executive vice president.
Alyssa Henry
Henry is worth $555 million and is one of the richest women in the tech industry who has left an indelible mark of her own. Prior to taking up the role in Square, Alyssa was an employee at Amazon. In addition, her work experience includes a period at Microsoft. She is also a part of the board of Intel and Unity Technologies.
3.Marissa Mayer
Marissa Meyer occupies a place in the list of the top ten richest women in tech with a total worth of $800 million. She is the co-founder of Sunshine Contact. Before Sunshine Contact, Marissa held the roles of president and CEO at Yahoo! for six years until she resigned in 2017.
Marissa Mayer
Another bright feather in her crown is being the first female engineer at Google, and the company's 20th employee handling a series of critical jobs. Following her term at Yahoo, Mayer founded Lumi Labs, the present-day Sunshine Contact.
4.Michelle Zatlyn
Michelle Zatlyn is the co-founder of Cloudfare, a web infrastructure, and security company.
Michelle Zatlyn
She is also the president and COO of the same. She is one of the richest women in the tech domain with a total worth of $980 million. In the year 2019, Cloudfare went public, touching an annual revenue of about $400 million. This was a milestone move since a sudden jump from $287 million to $400 million within a year requires some serious level of skill and determination.
5.Anne Wojcicki
With a total worth of $1.1 billion, Anne Wojcicki figures in the list of the top ten richest women in the world. She is the co-founder and CEO of a direct-to-consumer DNA testing firm that goes by the name, 23andMe.
Anne Wojcicki
Anne founded the company in the year 206, along with Linda Avey and Paul Cusenza. The idea behind the company was to help people by providing a solution for the problem that arises from the lack of access to genetic information. This could prove to be valuable information when it comes to treatments and cures for diseases. The company went public this year.
6.Whitney Wolfe Herd
If you have ever been grateful for the dating app, Bumble, that redefined dating amidst the pandemic, then you have Whitney Wolfe Herd to thank. Whitney founded the company in the year 2014,
Whitney Wolfe Herd
after gaining valuable insights from working at Tinder. Whitney deserves the title of "self-made billionaire" as she took her company public on NASDAQ. Whitney's total worth amounts to a whopping $1.2 billion.
7.Jenny Just
In the year 1997, Jenny Just embarked on her
Jenny Just
successful journey by co-founding PEAK6 Investment. What began in 1997 as a proprietary options trading firm, is a multibillion-dollar financial service and technology firm today. The company boasts of an average annual return of about 57%. She is one of the richest women in the tech industry with a worth of $1.5 billion.
8.Sheryl Sandberg
Anybody familiar with the tech world will not be a stranger to the name 'Sheryl Sandberg.' She is one of the powerful personalities of the tech world.
She brilliantly adorns the role of the chief operating officer at Facebook. And she has been a monumental cause in boosting the revenues of the firm. The American business executive and philanthropist is one of the richest women in the tech domain with a net worth of $1.9 billion.
9.Thai Lee
With a total worth of $4.1 billion, Thai Lee figures in the list of the top ten richest women in the world. She is the president and CEO of SHI International which has a strong customer base worldwide.
Thai Lee
What began as a software reseller in 1989, is today the largest minority or woman-owned business enterprise in the United States. The company's revenues crossed $11 billion for the very first time last year.
10.Meg Whitman
Silicon Valley veteran, Meg Whitman is one of the major reasons behind the success of eBay. While she worked as the CEO of the company, there was notable growth in sales from $5.7 million to $8 billion. When she left eBay in 2008, she was already a billionaire.

Q: Does this collection of faces generate the overall set? Let $S$ be a closed and bounded convex (not compact in general) subset of a Banach space, let $\{f_i\}_{i\in\mathcal I}$ be a (possibly uncountable) collection of affine continuous functions such that $\forall i\in\mathcal I, ~f_i(S)=[0,1]$. I want to know if
\begin{align*}
A\triangleq S\cap \bigcup_{i\in\mathcal I} f_i^{-1}(\{1\})=S\cap\bigcap_{n\in\mathbb N} \bigcup_{i\in \mathcal I} f_i^{-1}\left(\left] 1-\frac{1}{n},\infty \right[\right)\triangleq B
\end{align*}
This is usefull in my research for knowing if $A$ is measurable, indeed $B$ is clearly measurable since $S$ is closed, the intersection is countable and the union of open sets is open.

It is clear that $A\subseteq B$. Let now $x\in B$, for a fixed $n$, let $\mathcal J_n=\left\{ i\in\mathcal I : 1-\frac{1}{n}<f_i(x)\right\}$, then for $n<m$, $\mathcal J_m\subseteq \mathcal J_n$ and since $x\in B$, $\bigcap_{n\in\mathbb N} \mathcal J_n\neq \emptyset$ (I don't feel comfortable with that step), now it is clear that $\bigcap_{n\in\mathbb N}\mathcal J_n = \{ i\in \mathcal I : 1\leq f_i(x) \}$, take any element $j$ of that set, you get $x\in S\cap f_j^{-1}(\{1\})\subseteq A$. Is that correct or close to be correct ?
