Back this crucial strike to stop NHS privatisation
by Tomáš Tengely-Evans
'We're staying in the NHS,' say Wigan strikers (Pic: Socialist Worker)
As tens of thousands of people from across Britain prepare to come to London this weekend and demonstrate for the NHS, health workers are readying themselves for more strikes.
Hospital porters, cleaners and support staff in Wigan were set to begin a five-day strike on Thursday this week. It marks a serious escalation in their fight against bosses' plans to outsource 900 jobs.
Edmund is a Unison union member in Wigan. "We can't wait for the five-day strike," he told Socialist Worker. "The mood is really good.
"We're all determined to win and stay in the NHS."
Bosses at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust want to outsource jobs to WWL Solutions Ltd.
It is one of a growing number of wholly-owned subsidiaries in NHS England.
While owned by the NHS trust—for the meantime—workers would no longer be on the NHS pay roll.
This means bosses could, in the future, slash their wages and terms and conditions and hire new starters on worse contracts.
There are rumours of discussions between unions and management about keeping the services in-house —but at a terrible cost of job losses and worse conditions.
That's blackmail, and will hit both the NHS and workers' lives.
There is no need for the unions to agree to a shoddy deal.
Solidarity has been pouring in to the Wigan fight from across the labour movement.
"We hear at strike committee meetings about the support we're getting in," said Edmund.
"Everyone is really overwhelmed by it.
"I heard we've had £5,000 from one donation."
Strikers were given a standing ovation and donations at the Unison union national conference in Brighton last week.
And workers were joined by Labour MP Yvonne Fovargue in Wigan town centre on Saturday as they collected money for their hardship fund.
Bosses were set to decide on their next steps at a board meeting on Wednesday.
Edmund explained, "The board meeting will decide if they still want to put us into a wholly-owned subsidiary or listen to the workforce.
"If they backed off we wouldn't be striking, but I know how hard-faced they are."
He added, "They don't want to save money—they want to make money."
Unite union members were set to walkout out separately on Wednesday—as well as for five days from Thursday.
Edmund said, "Us Unison members are going to go out on break times to support them. We've all got to stick together."
Unite wants to maximise turnout at the lobby of the board meeting but is not asking Unison to respect its picket lines.
However, picket lines aren't just another form of protest.
They are organised so strikers can argue with colleagues and other groups of workers not to go into work or to make deliveries in order to maximise the impact of strikes.
Workers' resistance has already forced back the implantation date from 1 April to 1 August—and they are set on winning.
As Edmund said, "Everyone is more determined than ever. If five days don't work, we will go to seven days."
Every trade unionist needs to build solidarity for their crucial fight.

In the scene in Aliens where Vasquez and Gorman get stuck in the tunnel, the face-shooting scene was actually performed by Producer and James Cameron's then-wife Gale Anne Hurd. Having grown up around guns, Cameron asked her to step in for the close-up weapon handling. If somebody like James Cameron is making such a specific request of you then respect is surely due.

What are the roles of instinct, experience, and gut in a data-driven innovation culture?
This sponsored story was produced in association with SAP, not by MIT Technology Review editorial staff.
In responding to a question of this nature, it's easy to pit human intuition against data, comparing and contrasting their relative strengths and arguing in favor of one over the other, the way one might argue for art over science. But while taking sides on this important issue generates interesting and passionate discussion, it fails to take into account a basic truth about decision-making: humans seamlessly combine instinct, gut, experience, and data in nearly every decision they make, both personal and professional. These capacities are not the least bit mutually exclusive.
We agree with this sentiment. However, the ascent of Big Data and the insight it affords does tip the balance. Data analytics brings new information to bear, exposes unseen patterns, answers unasked questions, and even predicts what will happen. In this way, it necessarily encroaches upon the role of gut in decision-making. And this has profound implications for corporate culture and leadership. At the very least, decision-makers will need to develop a more open, balanced approach to strategy, and they must be willing to accept data that contradicts established practices and long-held beliefs.
Indeed, innovation will always require risks, some that can't be quantified, and some that will demand imagination and insight on a very human level. Data will help shape and guide risk-taking, giving direction and clarity to innovative thinking. It provides a basis for the confidence that business leaders need in order to assess viable options, select the ones with the highest probability of success, and put them into action – quickly. But experience and instinct will continue to matter a great deal. In fact, some of our readers argued that experience and instinct are merely data in disguise: the long-term accumulation of both unstructured and structured information.
Ultimately, business leaders will need to decide in whatever scenario they encounter just how persuasive data is, how faithfully it can be followed, and how comfortable they are ignoring it. Those who master this delicate balance will be well positioned during this age of data-driven innovation.

Dan Prock survived some of the toughest fighting of the Vietnam War in the seven months before the day his platoon was ambushed in Quang Tri Province and he was killed.
Prock, a radio operator in the 26th Marines, was in the regiment that endured the siege of Khe Sanh in early 1968. He also fought at Phu Rai, Camp Carroll and Con Thien. He was wounded once earlier, sent to a hospital to recover and was sent out again.
War photographer David Douglas Duncan was with the Marines at Khe Sanh and later published two books, "War Without Heroes," and "Protest," that featured several pictures of Prock.
Dan Prock was born and raised in Gridley. He played football and basketball at Gridley High before graduating in 1966.
Prock and some buddies also formed a band in high school—he was the drummer—and played at local dances.
He enlisted in the Marines in June 1967, and was sent to Vietnam Dec. 5, 1967. He had planned a law enforcement career after the military.

If you're living in the north of Holland or around/below Paris it is far. It's easier to get there from southeast England. Still, (probably) closer than most gigs in Germany.

That's because everyone in North America is into gay top 40 shit and don't have an opinion/taste of their own regarding music.

Sacha Baron Cohen On 'Borat' Ethics And Why His Disguise Days Are Over
npr.org - Fresh Air
Originally published 22 Feb 21
On whether he thinks that there's an ethical gray area to bringing characters into the world and deceiving people
Those are the discussions that we have in the writers' room continually: Is this ethical? What's the purpose of this scene? Is it just to be funny? Is there some satire? Is that satire worth it? When you're doing stuff like a gun rally and you could get shot, then morally it's very clear. Or if you're undermining one of Trump's inner circle, whose sole aim is to undermine the legitimacy of the election, then, yeah, that's moral. I mean, look at what Rudy did post Borat coming out. He spread this big lie that Trump had won the election. And that lie is so dangerous and so misleading that it led to the attack on the Capitol — and it hasn't ended.
So the morality of seeing how Rudy would react when he was alone in a room with an attractive young woman, I think that morality is pretty clear. I think it's evidence of the misogyny that was trumpeted by the president and was almost a badge of honor with his inner circle. What we did with Rudy was crucial. I mean, we made the movie to have an impact on the election. ... So ethically, I can stand by that all day long.
Is the movie as a whole ethical? Yes. We did it because there was a deeply unethical government in power. And there was no question. ... We had to do what we could to inspire people to vote and remind people of the immorality of the government prior to the election. ... I have no doubt about the morality of this film. I'm very proud of it.

As the champion high-jumper clears the bar, the sportscaster cries out: איזה ביצוע! — which is to say, what a thing-doing. The English language has some theoretically fine translations for ביצוע, but connotations are a problem. You could say what an accomplishment, but that would express the connotation that he did something difficult, not that he did it well or elegantly.
This series of columns will be presenting one hard-to-translate Hebrew word at a time for discussion, and we'll start with ביצוע (or לבצע).
You're encouraged to add your comments at the end of the column, but please stick to the word currently under discussion. One word will likely remind you of another, but if you'd like to discuss another word, please write to me at Elephant — whystyle@elephant.org.il — and I'll present it with due credit in a future column. That way, we can not only conduct a nicely focused discussion but also leave behind a useful archive for future reference, one word at a time.
If you have a plan and what you're going to do with it is ביצוע, then in precise English you can say you will execute the plan. But executing and execution make some people think of capital punishment. The word executive does not, but curiously in the business world it has come to refer to the person who makes the plans for everyday work rather than the person who carries them out.
Carrying out is also an accurate translation of ביצוע, but its usefulness is limited. You can speak of carrying out a plan, but you can't speak of assigning carrying-out responsibility. Phrases like putting into effect and bringing into effect have the same problem.
Performance works sometimes. To assess the ביצוע of a plan is to assess the performance — but of the people responsible, not of the plan. The people did not perform the plan, they performed according to it. And you have to watch out for the theatrical connotation of performance.
Other definitions in the dictionaries are achievement, completion, and realization, but like accomplishment they focus on the arrival at the goal rather than on the effort along the way. Fulfillment can work sometimes and certainly ביצוע ההזמנה routinely becomes fulfilling the order in translation, but fulfillment too lacks the energetic connotation of ביצוע; it even smacks a little of a tranquil satisfaction.
Alcalay and Babylon list perpetration, which is a fine definition but only for crimes. And discharge is fine but only for responsibilities and obligations.
Implementation is a close equivalent, but we like to think of it as corresponding to יישום rather than to ביצוע. What's your opinion? English speakers as a people are proud of their culture's emphasis on getting things done. If it's a building, they set about construction. If it's a meal, they set about preparation. If it's a high jump, then the sportscaster yells What a jump! But what is it that English speakers do in general?
Remember, please restrict your comments to the word under discussion. If it reminds you of another word worth discussing, please write me at whystyle@elephant.org.il and I'll credit you when I bring it up in a future column.

"WP:NICE" redirects here. For the semi-automated tool, see User:EpochFail/NICE.
Participate in a respectful and considerate way, and avoid directing profane and offensive language at other users.
Try to discourage others from being uncivil, and avoid upsetting other editors whenever possible.
Civility is part of Wikipedia's code of conduct, and is one of Wikipedia's five pillars. The civility policy is a standard of conduct that sets out how Wikipedia editors should interact. Stated simply, editors should always treat each other with consideration and respect. In order to keep the focus on improving the encyclopedia and to help maintain a pleasant editing environment, editors should behave politely, calmly and reasonably, even during heated debates.
This policy describes the standards of behavior expected of users when they interact, and appropriate ways of dealing with problems that may arise. It applies to all interaction on Wikipedia, including on user and article talk pages, in edit summaries, and in any other discussion with or about fellow Wikipedians.
Incivility consists of personal attacks, rudeness, disrespectful comments, and aggressive behaviours that disrupt the project and lead to unproductive stress and conflict. Editors are human, capable of mistakes, so a few minor incidents of incivility are not in themselves a major concern. However, a studied pattern of incivility is disruptive and unacceptable, and may result in blocks if it rises to the level of harassment or egregious personal attacks. A single act of incivility can also cross the line if it is severe enough: for instance, extreme verbal abuse or profanity directed at another contributor, or a threat against another person can all result in blocks without consideration of a pattern.
In general, be understanding and non-retaliatory in dealing with incivility. If others are uncivil, be understanding (people do say things when they get upset) rather than judgmental, and do not respond in kind. If necessary, point out gently that you think the comment might be considered uncivil, and make it clear that you want to move on and focus on the content issue. Bear in mind that the editor may not have considered it uncivil - Wikipedia is edited by people from many different backgrounds, and standards vary. Consider too the option of ignoring isolated examples of incivility, and simply moving forward with the content issue. Only take things to dispute resolution (see below) if there is an ongoing problem you can't resolve.
Differences of opinion are inevitable in a collaborative project. When discussing these differences some editors can seem unnecessarily harsh, while simply trying to be forthright. Other editors may seem oversensitive when their views are challenged. Silent and faceless words on talk pages and in edit summaries do not transmit fully the nuances of verbal conversation, sometimes leading to misinterpretation of an editor's comments. An uncivil remark can escalate spirited discussion into a personal argument that no longer focuses objectively on the problem at hand. Such exchanges waste our efforts and undermine a positive, productive working environment. Resolve differences of opinion through civil discussion; disagree without being disagreeable. Discussion of other editors should be limited to polite discourse about their actions.
Editors are expected to be reasonably cooperative, to refrain from making personal attacks, to work within the scope of policies, and to be responsive to good-faith questions. Try to treat your fellow editors as respected colleagues with whom you are working on an important project. Be especially welcoming and patient towards new users. Welcome other people to edit the articles but do discourage non-constructive edits.
Editors are expected to avoid personal attacks and harassment of other Wikipedians. This applies equally to all Wikipedians: It is as unacceptable to attack a user who has a history of foolish or boorish behavior, or even one who has been subject to disciplinary action by the Arbitration Committee, as it is to attack any other user. Wikipedia encourages a positive online community: people make mistakes, but they are encouraged to learn from them and change their ways. Personal attacks and harassment are contrary to this spirit, damaging to the work of building an encyclopedia, and may result in blocks.
It is sometimes difficult to make a hard-and-fast judgement of what is uncivil and what is not. Such a judgement may need to take into account such matters as (i) the intensity of the language/behavior; (ii) whether the behavior has occurred on a single occasion, or is occasional or regular; (iii) whether a request has already been made to stop the behavior, and whether that request is recent; (iv) whether the behavior has been provoked; and (v) the extent to which the behavior of others need to be treated at the same time.
(e) quoting another editor out of context to give the impression they hold views they do not hold, or to malign them.
Unless there is strong evidence to the contrary, assume that editors are trying to help, not hurt the project.
The Assume Good Faith guideline does not require that editors continue to assume good faith in the presence of obvious contrary evidence; however, do not assume any more intentional wrongdoing than the evidence clearly supports, and given equally plausible interpretations of the evidence, choose the most positive one.
Administrator's Noticeboard Incidents page. For death threats, bigoted attacks, threats of violence, legal threats, and other cases where immediate action is required, use the Administrator's Noticeboard Incidents page to contact the site's admins.

Famous Style And Savings On U-Boat Watches
February 28, 2013 thewatchery Leave a comment
U-Boat Watches have a reputation for effectiveness and flare, and so do their namesakes. The fame of the U-Boat in the Western World is of course tied inextricably to the German submarine program of the first and second world war. The first submarine built in Germany was the two man submarine Brandtaucher, which sank to the bottom of Kiel harbor during its first test dive. Brandtaucher was later rediscovered during dredging operations in 1887, and subsequently raised sixteen years later and placed in a museum in Germany, where it remains today.
This was followed in 1890 by W1 and W2, and in 1903, the Germaniawerft dockyard in Kiel completed Germany's first fully functional submarine, Forelle, which was sold to Russia during the Russo-Japanese War. The German Navy's first U-boat design, U-1 was based, ironically enough, on the Russian export models bound for the Russo-Japanese War. U-1 was commissioned into the Imperial German Navy on 14 December 1906 and by World War I, Germany had twenty-nine U-boats; in the first ten weeks, five British cruisers had been lost to them.
U-Boat watches, however, come from Italy, giving them a no less precise but particularly stylish look. Take, for instance, this suave and minimalist U-Boat Men's Vintage Limited Edition Chronograph with a silver dial and genuine black leather straps. It may not sink ships, but is still an undeniably bold statement. Check out all our distinctive men's watches at TheWatchery.com.

Diamonds Watches On Sale, But Not Forever!
The value of diamonds—the creation of the idea that diamonds are rare and valuable, and are essential signs of love—is a relatively recent cultural development. Until the late nineteenth century, diamonds were scarce, found only occasionally in India and Brazil, and were relatively unknown to the Western world. Colorful gems like rubies and sapphires were more prized as accessory decorations.
In 1870, however, huge diamond mines were discovered in South Africa, where diamonds were soon being scooped out by the ton. Before too long, a canny slogan, "diamonds are forever," convinced us of their singular worth, and diamonds have become a feature of jewelry and luxury watches ever since. It is not impossible to acquire a diamond, though, especially since we are running a diamond watches sale right now at TheWatchery.com!
Take this stunning model, for instance. Created in 1945 and reintroduced into the GIRARD-PERREGAUX collection in 1995, the Vintage 1945 line is as alluring as ever with its strong lines, subtle retro appeal and curved ergonomic case. Every Girard-Perregaux Women's Vintage 1945 watch with mechanical movement, diamond and silver dial, an 18k rose gold case, and slate blue stain strap is brand new, never worn, with original factory parts and 100% authentic guaranteed. For a limited time, it is listed online at a staggering 60% off. Check out all the models available in our incomparable diamond sale right now at TheWatchery.com!

Amazing Sale On Breitling Watches
Continuing this week's focus on the love affair between sleek designer watches and fast and furious sports cars, one of our featured watches on sale for 36% off is the Breitling Bentley.
It is named, of course for Bentley Motors Limited, the legendary British manufacturer of luxury automobiles founded in 1919 by W. O. Bentley. Bentley had been previously known for his range of rotary aero-engines in World War I, but subsequently designed and made production cars that won the 24 hours of Le Mans race in 1924 and repeated those successes an absolutely absurd four more times in the same decade: 1927, 1928, 1929, and 1930.
Bentley was purchased by Rolls-Royce in 1931, and by the Volkswagen Group of Germany since 1998. But it has produced a number of truly iconic English cars since it stopped its racing program, including the Derby, the Cabriolet, the Continental, and the R Type. This combination of performance and style at Bentley perfectly matches the legacy of sophisticated watchmaking at Breitlling, and so it is only natural that they would create a line of men's watches to match the carmaker's chrome flair. Collectively matching anyone's style, this classy Breitling, with either automatic or manual movement, a chrono silver storm dial design and black genuine crocodile leather strap will elegantly go with any outfit and add a cool, bold flare in the bargain.

Star Savings On Glam Rock Watches
Whether you were cheering for Team Argo last night or not, 2012 was a great year for the movies. Judge the dresses, the picks and pans, the quite robust facial hair (there were like three winners with majestically flowing white locks), the lighting, whatever, but the Oscars, regardless of their choices or quality, did what they are supposed to do: provide us with a week's worth of gossip at the very least.
Today at the Watchery we have our own rewards on offer, up to 70% on many brand-name watches, including Breil Milano's Glam Rock brand. In a little bit of fun trivia, one of their two brand ambassadors is Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, who pulled double duty at the Academy Awards last night by presenting an award and doing an Astaire/Rogers dance number with Channing Tatum.
While Glam rock began as a style of rock and pop music as campy and extravagant as Hollywood itself, major exemplars of the style such as David Bowie, Iggy Pop, and later influences Elton John, Prince, and Madonna have since entered the mainstream. Glam rock watches capture the color of the movement without losing any of the elegance of more traditional watch design. You can add an understated look to your outfit with unique and detailed Glam Rock women's watches, like this Miami Beach model with a white dial and lilac silicone strap. For more, visit us online at TheWatchery.com!

Race Weekend Savings On Watches
Do you feel the need: the need for speed? You may not be able to climb into a stock car this Daytona 500 race weekend, but you can take advantage of the lightning savings on brand name watches here at The Watchery.
The Daytona 500 is regarded as the most important and prestigious race on the NASCAR calendar, carrying by far the largest purse. It is also the series' first race of the year; this phenomenon is virtually unique in sports, which tend to have championships or other major events at the end of the season rather than the start. Since 1995, U.S. television ratings for the Daytona 500 have been the highest for any auto race of the year, surpassing the traditional leader, the Indianapolis 500.
Sporting an intricate design and subdial system, this bold Tag Heuer Men's Formula 1 Chronograph with black dial and sleek stainless steel strap is precise as it is well crafted. It is now on sale for 32% only through the online offers available at TheWatchery.com, but hurry before this deal laps you and our Daytona Race weekend designer watches savings expire.

The Da Vinci Code Of Luxury Watches
If you think you think you never get a break from your work, how does this sound for a job description: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer. The genius of Leonardo Da Vinci, perhaps more than that of any other figure of his age, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man, a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination".He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. And now, much like one of his own incredible inventions, you can channel the spirit of this master Italian polymath on your wrist.
The International Watch Company, also known as IWC, is a high-end Swiss watch manufacturer located in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and is notable for being the only major Swiss watch factory located in eastern Switzerland, as the majority of the well-known Swiss watch manufacturers are located in western Switzerland. IWC's The Da Vinci is an epitome of elegance in men's watches, with silver dial and gold-toned hands, automatic movement, with a genuine alligator leather strap.

Swiss Military Calibre Watches Perform In Any Environment
We have talked more than once on this blog about Swiss Legend watches and extolled their unique heritage and technical virtues. But perhaps you are looking for something just a tad more exacting, built for function and endurance over pleasing aesthetics. Enter Swiss Military Caliber watches. These are built with all the timekeeping precision that all Swiss movements are famous for, and with the additional hardiness to meet the toughest Alpine conditions.
Now, the words "Swiss" and "military" may seem odd together considering Switzerland's reputation for neutrality. Only about 5% of the country's land and air forces are professional soldiers. The rest are ordinary citizens, who are compulsorily enlisted in the country's militia system. These citizen soldiers keep all their personal equipment, including weapons, with them at home. This requirement has resulted in the popularity of military-grade gear, including high-performance watches as well as the world-renowned 'Swiss army knife.'
This Swiss Military Calibre Men's Revolution watch with black dial, including large, readable numbers to help ease timekeeping while hiking or engaging in other outdoor pursuits where visibility may change, as well as a comfortable and functional black rubber is brand new and available for TheWatchery.com's signature free shipping. Come check out all our high-functioning and designer watches online today!

President's Day Blowout On Brand Name Watches
Happy President's Day from all of us here at The Watchery! Close as we are to the birthday of our very first President (unless you count John Hanson, who was the first congressional president under the Articles of Confederation) George Washington, there are all kinds of neat fun facts about our nation's leaders to brighten up your day.
For instance, Abraham Lincoln was our only president to also be a licensed bartender, and Grover Cleveland was the only president in history to hold the job of a hangman. Gerald Ford, despite his balance issues, was the lucky first person to be both vice president and president without being elected. He was appointed vice president when Spiro Agnew resigned and he succeeded to the presidency when Nixon resigned. He was once the sheriff of Erie County, New York, and twice had to spring the trap at a hanging. In terms of presidential money, William McKinley, Grover Cleveland, and James Madison are on the $500, $1000, and $5000 bill, respectively. The bills still count as legal tender but are no longer being printed. And, in the completely non sequitur department, every member of Teddy Roosevelt's family owned a pair of stilts, including the first lady.
Of course, what would really brighten your day is to get huge savings on one of many of our luxury watches, as much as 80% off great brand name watches like this elegant Invicta Women's Angel watch. Come check out all the watches in our blowout sale online at TheWatchery.com!

Girard-Perregaux has approximately 80 patents in the watch-making business and is the originator of many innovative concepts. For instance, in 1880 Constant Girard produced the first ever major commercial production of a wristwatch, made for German naval officers and ordered by German Kaiser Wilhelm I for his German naval officers. Two-thousand such watches were ordered and produced, which represents the first important commercialization of wristwatches. In 1965 Girard-Perregaux designed the first mechanic movement at high frequency, at which the balancer beats at 36,000 vibrations/hour and in 1970 Girard-Perregaux presented the world with the first wristwatch to be equipped with a quartz movement and the following year a second one which vibrates at 32,768 hertz, the frequency remaining the universal standard for quartz watches today.

Sombreiro (também conhecida por sombra-de-vaca ou palheteira; Clitoria fairchildiana R.A.Howard; família Fabaceae) é uma árvore presente no Brasil, com domínio fitogeográfico na floresta amazônica. É conhecida popularmente por sombreiro devido ao enorme tamanho e espessura de sua copa. O sombreiro é muito utilizado na arborização de estradas, praças, jardins e parques de estacionamento.

Características
O sombreiro é uma árvore de grande porte com uma altura que varia de 5 a 10 metros e de 10 a 15 metros, porém possui um tronco curto (de 30 a 40 cm de diâmetro). Floresce durante o verão, podendo prologar sua floração até os meses de abril e maio em algumas regiões. Seus frutos amadurecem no período entre os meses de maio e julho, quando se inicia a queda das folhas. Possui folhas brilhantes e é uma árvore frondosa.

Utilidades
Pelas características de sua copa, o sombreiro é muito utilizado na ornamentação de ambientes urbanos e é plantado em parques e jardins, com preferência para solos férteis e úmidos. Por possuir uma copa densa, o sombreiro é utilizado também para fazer uma ótima sombra - daí a origem de seu nome popular. Foi muito utilizado em projetos paisagísticos e de arborização urbana nas décadas de 70 e 80 e hoje não é mais tão utilizado por causa do pouco conhecimento dos profissionais atuais sobre a espécie. Pode ser testado na recuperação de áreas degradadas por seu rápido crescimento e sua fixação de nitrogênio no solo.

Taxonomia
Clitoria fairchildiana R.A.Howard é o nome aceito para a espécie. Existem pelo menos quatro outros sinónimos: Centrosema spicata Glaz., Clitoria racemosa Benth., Neurocarpum racemosum Pohl e Ternatea racemosa (Benth.) Kuntze.

Fitoquímica
O sombreiro contém rotenóides com capacidades anti-inflamatórias.

Árvores
Fabaceae
Espécies invasoras no Brasil
Plantas descritas em 1967

I've been neglecting my Blog here, yet I see I have some new subscribers! Welcome. I still have my 1996 Dodge Freedom Wide Leisure Travel Van that I sometimes call LT and at other times call Daisy. We have a good relationship now, Daisy and I, it wasn't always that way! I just returned from a quick jaunt up Hwy 101 from Santa Barbara to Vallejo CA. My Van ran great! There is one little problem that has been going on for a bit. As we climb hills and the fan turns on and we are chugging away … and it's already getting noisy, though the front end insulation I had installed last year is amazing … the belt begins to whine. I assume it's the large Serpentine belt. I've pointed this out to my mechanic several times but he generally feel it's not something to be concerned about. However, on this trip the whining was REALLY loud and when I down shifted to make it over the grade, I felt like I would need earplugs and some strong drug to steady my nerves. The dogs don't like the racket either as I'm driving stiff and worried, I let off on the accelerator, the van slows just when it needs power to keep up at least a bit of speed and the terrible whining stops. I can play a touch the accelerator gently game to make it over the pass without the noise, and this time I found I had to NOT downshift. This needs to be fixed even if nothing is really wrong. Something is rubbing the wrong way!
Sweet Daisy handled herself like a champ in the wind, the fog, the rain and even in gridlock. Remind me why I never enjoy the Bay Area any longer! Three hours of gridlock on the 680… yuck! I had to pee, the dogs needed a break, almost there…. almost there…almost there… nope. It's not possible to just get off and back on in thick gridlock. No one moves faster than a whopping 5 or 7 mph. If you do get off, good luck ever getting back on. Why has it come to this! For anyone still living in the Bay Area and elsewhere where this is the norm, REALLY! So, yep, I prefer a relaxed gentle flowing road. I don't blame the crazed motorist all their weird antics just as long as they don't hit anyone; unfortunately they often do which makes the gridlock even more tight.
One other gripe while I'm at it. Please Cal Trans let's surface the highways and freeways in California. If you see me and other trucks and big campers, RVs in the fast lane it's because we are trying to not have our brains and bodies and the insides of our homes on wheels shook to death as for some reason if there is a smoother lane of travel it's invariably the fast lane. Hey, why not both lanes?
I've been traveling around here and there since I last posted with my dogs. I even tried traveling with all four dogs; although three is easier, it's quite doable, everyone has their place. Sometime later I'll take a video so you can see the setup.
I want to close for now, but first am going to say don't ever expect me to return to Vallejo! I wound up staying at a Courtyard Marriott right next to the Fairgrounds where the dog show was being held. It's really a dog show hotel at least on Show weeks. It's not cheap and not particularly friendly, esp not the "surprise welcome" of…no, not a warm chocolate chip cookie, a cup of lemonade, some coffee, no nothing like that you get slammed by a neat $75 extra fee for room CLEANING because you will have a dog in it. My guess they do not clean the rooms for mere human visits and we all know how messy they can be. The rooms are small, so $75 what do they do for that? It's entirely unknown as my dogs with their noses discovered the room was not particularly clean when we got there …. hmmmm…. must not have been a dog staying in there for sometime so it didn't get cleaned??? I plan to boycott Marriott Courtyards in the future, if they insist on these charges along with a lack of hospitality. For example I asked for a map to my room and the nearest stairs so I could bring up my dogs and was blankly told, we don't have maps, the desk clerk could not even tell me for sure where to park or which way to go. I get it she never goes up to the rooms, why would she. Then she asked if I'd eaten yet, this after my almost 10 hrs on the road, so I said no, expecting a nice little treat… oh no… it was just a come on for the overpriced hotel restaurant but I could help myself to a piece of empty junk food for a high price. No free breakfast here, but you could buy one, so that was something. This place was kinda spooky, the parking lot security guard was mostly collapsed in an outside corner smoking – really I felt sorry for him out in the cold and then the rain. He did warn me of a large Great Dane rambling about by itself in the parking lot. Poor pup seemed his Show Handler forgot him? I do love Dog Show hotels, where everybody knows your name by your breed, just not this one, not this town. Turned out I had distressing memories of this hotel, I stayed there once before right before my father died, had a room facing the big carousel and roller coaster, Dad was interred by his wife in a miserable care center, his path of dying was wrenching, heartbreaking, lots of difficulties with, well everything. Just take my word for it. This was the beginning of the next 8 years of losses and falling aparts for me. The day I just stayed there was dad's birthday as well. I'm on the upswing now. I couldn't wait to get the hell out of that Marriott and away from Vallejo. I achieved my priority of visiting the traveling show veterinarian… BVS, then I was out of there!
For our Lagotto Romagnolo National Specialty a month ago we stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in Del Mar. Wow, was that a difference! Free food, super clean and comfortable, light and bright, no extra charges, tons of dog walking, even a trail to the beach!
I'll leave you with a few shots taken out the windshield of coastal CA on the 101. I wish California was in better shape. I don't want to become one of those always lamenting my youth type, but I did sincerely miss the open beauty of this state, the variety of its towns and friendliness of its people. Now the open road is still good but the traffic, lack of care, overcrowding, price gouging, infighting, decaying infrastructure, rules and more rules, fines and harassment spoils my California.
This is an addition to my post so some of you may not see it. As the rain came and I drove and drove and drove, tears just like rain fell out of my eyes. This happens to me. I do not weep. I do not cry. I do not face my sadness as that is behind me like the road traveled. It is only like the rain. It rains inside of me and feeds some thirsty ground. I have no awareness of why these tears fall, are there clouds inside my head that become full and rich? Are there wild things waiting for sustenance? It is okay with me that we all are the same and we all are unique. It is okay with me that change is normal. It is beginning to be okay with me that I am alive and my loves are dead, that people are forever violent and destructive that love is rare and yet everywhere, that no one knows what we are all here for nor how the universe exists. That we do not know simple things, like why or how. I think that everything we see or know is alive, even the road is alive and sometimes parts of whatever is me drifts off and becomes whatever is part of you and so on. Really there is a lot of time for one to drift as you drive. You can swallow up clouds, sky, landscapes, cars, towns, weather, whatever comes.

Bielema will speak at Mississippi Bowl Banquet
Posted on November 18, 2016 by Don Hammack
Bret Bielema FB 2013
University of Arkansas football coach Bret Bielema will be the speaker at this year's Mississippi Bowl Banquet. The event, which is closed to the public, will be hosted Dec. 2 at the MGCCC Hospitality & Resort Management Center on the Jefferson Davis Campus on the city line between Gulfport and Biloxi.
Bielema has been the Razorbacks head coach since 2012. He won three straight conference championships during his time as head coach at Wisconsin from 2006-12. He's coached 39 NFL Draft picks, including three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt, Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson and No. 1 overall draft pick and eight-time Pro Bowler Joe Thomas.
Backed by his "Five Edges" to success, Bielema represented the qualities Arkansas was looking for: a leader of young men who holds student-athletes responsible both on and off the field and a coach who has a proven record of winning championships.
Bielema's recruitment philosophy of building a program on "uncommon" men have yielded record-setting results in the classroom. Arkansas posted a 2.94 team GPA in the spring of 2015, the highest mark on record. Helping build the record-setting team GPA were 40 student-athletes on the Southeastern Conference Fall Academic Honor Roll, good for the most in the conference. During Bielema's three seasons, Arkansas leads the SEC with 100 student-athletes on the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll, while the 40 honorees in 2015 is the most by one school since he joined the league.
His previous coaching positions include being Wisconsin's defensive coordinator in 2004-05 under Barry Alvarez and holding the same position for Bill Snyder's Kansas teams in 2002-03. Bielema was a graduate assistant and then linebackers coach at Iowa between 1994 and 2001, working for Hayden Fry and Kirk Ferentz.
Bielema lettered at Iowa from 1989-92 after walking on. He played on Iowa's 1990 Big Ten championship team, started as a junior in 1991 and was a co-captain as a senior. He signed a free agent contract with the Seattle Seahawks and played in the Arena Football League.
A 1992 graduate of Iowa with a degree in marketing, Bielema married his wife, Jen, on March 10, 2012.

Filmmaking excellence (by mariaurne)
Probably no film deserves 10 points what film is perfect? , but I'm giving this maximum score to Red Lights because of its cinematic braveness and its improbable success at becoming a genre film an study of human contradiction. A mixture of The parallax view, Brian de Palma, Angel Heart, David Lynch and other perfect references, wisely mixed with a whole original personal voice, Red Lights is a unique cinema piece on its own with truly amazing performances. I still cannot understand how Rodrigo Cortés could do something this compelling and profound with the tools of a scientific <more>
supernatural thriller. It's shocking how small other good genre films look when they're compared to this one, that brings the genre back to its golden 70s years.
Underrated (by bentalbd)
I never thought I am about to watch such a spectacular film when I saw the low ratings it received.Seeing names such as Sigourney Weaver, Cillian Murphy and of course Robert De Niro made me reconsider and watch it anyways.The story is beautiful and the acting is just marvelous. What I like most about this one is that feeling you get of not knowing what's going on and then, seeing the twist point of the movie, you are shocked at the results. It even took me up to the end of the end titles to understand what went on.I truly recommend watching! Totally underrated on reviews!
Red Lights is a White-Knuckle Thriller (by brendanalpiner)
I hate the unoriginal decisions that are plaguing Hollywood. Every movie is a sequel, a prequel or something extremely unnecessary. So, when a film like RED LIGHTS comes out that has such a premise unlike anything before, I try to go out of way to see it.This is where some films fail. They try to be original, but to no avail. RED LIGHTS, on the other hand, is that rare movie that makes me love new creations.My main love for the film is the way it carries its mystery. It never hides itself to be a horror film and never disguises itself as something it isn't. The first scene before the <more>
credits beautifully illustrates what you are about to see: an exploration into fake mediums, human ignorance and parapsychology.I loved the ending to the movie, although I know some people will hate it. At the very least give it a shot and I guarantee that at some point during the film, your beliefs will be questioned.
Something new, something worth watching (by MaxGate)
I was not expecting this movie to be the awesomeness that it was. De Niro and Weaver were the only reason I wanted to watch this movie, but I am glad I did! This movie attacks the tired old concept of 'is ESP real?' with new vigour, new ideas and explanations. Not a single shot of the movie is unnecessary or a 'filler' shot. And none of the 'scary movie' theatrics to keep you on edge. It has the right story line, right people and the right scenes to take you where it wants to take you, without the additional drama, not that it doesn't have some clever twists. This <more>
is a 'clever' movie, doesn't spell out everything for you, makes you want to watch it carefully so as to not miss a thing. All in all, its one of the best thriller movies I have seen. I completely recommend watching it!
The most underrated movie in years. Spoiler Free (by InsurgentTurian)
Let me start this review by saying I went into this movie thinking it might be pretty good, I was excited to see Cillian Murphy because I love the man, but coming out of this film I was in complete shock at how good it was.The thing that makes this thriller so great, is that unlike most of the movies made under the genera, the first half doesn't suffer to make the final half that much more shocking/amazing. This movie had me hooked from the start until the end without wasting a moment. Each scene was tense and did its job and then some. The concept alone was enough to get me interested <more>
but they throw curve ball after curve ball to keep you that much more invested and it worked without fault. Nothing in the movie felt at all cheesy or forced. It had a very natural flow about it.Now if you have heard anything about the movie you probably know that people are loving the ending. I am without a doubt one of those people. I heard the ending was as good and surprising but that did not prepare me for it. Not just the very end/the reveal was amazing but the whole final 10-15 minutes was phenomenal and memorable. It felt so real and very satisfying.So please see this movie. It deserves so much more credit then its getting and I hope you will be able to see the movie for what it is and truly appreciate it like I do. Keep in mind the concept, actors, genera ext was right up my alley so I may like it more then most. The only reason I'm not giving a 10/10 is because very, very, minor faults caught my attention. They aren't even worth talking about. Nothing is perfect, but this movie gets scarily close.9/10
I am happy to watch Sigourney again. (by ouxhan)
After a long time I had a chance to watch Sigourney again and I am pleased. She is a highly talented actress so I want to watch more Sigourney movies soon. Pleasee.Robert Deniro was Robert Deniro, there is nothing I can say about him. He impressed everybody in the theatre as usual.Cillian Murphy is a great actor in every movie and he is always good in horror/thriller movies.I do not know anything about the director of the movie. I have not watched any of his movies before also he is quite young however I was impressed. I believe we will watch many good movies from him in the future. He is a <more>
promising talent.I have to say something about the music as well. It was just brilliant. Plot, directing, acting and music get along with each other smoothly.I gave 9 out of 10. I wish I could give 10 but I cannot and I cannot explain why I took 1 point because I do not want to spoil the movie.Just after the movie began I felt, I have not watched a movie like this for long time . Thank you.
An intelligent mystery (by snodlander)
I wasn't sure what to expect from the trailers. Gore and horror aren't my thing, unless it's done well, and so few are these days. However, I was pleasantly surprised. This has less to do with the supernatural and more to do with belief systems in a modern world.The story focuses upon two scientist professors that fill in the time between classes by investigating and exposing psychic frauds, be they petulant schoolgirls or venal evangelists. So when Murphy presses to investigate a famous mystic, why is Weaver so reluctant to agree? Is De Niro gifted with extraordinary powers, or a <more>
clever con artist? The atmosphere becomes more menacing and oppressive as the film progresses, leaving me wondering whether Murphy was becoming paranoid, or whether De Niro really was targeting him. The end, though not exactly the Sixth Sense ending some are proclaiming, was certainly unexpected.Great acting from the leads, as you would expect. Great dialogue. Not much in the way of action, nor thankfully schlock horror, but the tension mounted throughout the film. A clever and satisfying film.
The film left a new hope to us.. (by patyjchoi)
Post modernism has been prevalent across the world for decades, and now the world is getting into another new era - era of spirit. People are sick and tired of chasing materials and now seeking inner peace. But they are not turning back to ancient religions and gods..they seek something else. Psychic - which is a controversial concept - could be one of the object they seek and like in this time of chaos. We have known numerous paranormal psychics who bends metal spoons, predict the 3rd world war..So scientific debunker's' activity was so compatible with the psychics'. The film <more>
"Red lights" starts from "Is psychic real?" the cliché.The main narration of this film is debunking Silver's show and prove that he is also a fake. The plot runs to the end with this sole goal, and the last 10 minutes of the film shows a brilliant twist.The audience Me does not understand what the film tries to say to the audience, Is it that important to testify that there IS NOT a ghost and paranormal activity? Is that the subject of the film?The last twist deserves to be a savior for those who are so uncomfortable with this flatness of the script. Now we do not have to worry about it, yes, there is psychic in the world of movie. Silver was proved to be a swindler but still we have a new hope -.... Only in that point, this movie plays its role. This is a really well-made , intelligent, interesting thriller film.
The first film in years where I didn't see the ending coming. Utterly brilliant. (by The_Dead_See)
Red Lights follows two scientists who expose paranormal hoaxers the likes of Uri Geller or John Edwards. Their faith in their ability to disprove these frauds is tested when when they come up against paranormal celebrity, Simon Silver played perfectly by DeNiro in one of the few roles where I've ever seen him play, um, not DeNiro . Silver seems to possess some genuinely inexplicable talents. Is he the real deal? And more to the point, is he dangerous or even deadly to those who try to expose him? Reading through some of the other reviews on Red Lights has left me shaking my head in <more>
wonder. A 'twist that doesn't make sense' say a few of them, and that's complete hogwash. The twist here makes perfect sense, and it's genius in that it reflects the entire film in a different light. It makes you go all the way back to the beginning and re-examine everything you saw - everything a character said, every motivation, every occurrence - from a completely different perspective. Remember when you saw 'Fight Club' and the penny finally dropped as to what was going on and, if you're anything like me, you said to yourself "that's awesome!"? I'd go as far as to say Red Lights is even better than that, because the twist is not only cleverer, but it's also left right until the last scenes; whereas in Fight Club, most folks figured it out about halfway through.Don't worry by the way, the twist isn't the same as the one in Fight Club. The only reason I make that analogy is because, like Fight Club, this twist had me grinning from ear-to-ear because it actually got me... and not many do.Red Lights was one of those films that I hadn't heard of before and selected solely on the strength of its cast. I was not disappointed. The fact that one person wrote, directed and edited all this is almost as amazing as the powers of Simon Silver himself. It was a brilliantly structured, wildly intelligent ride along the boundaries between the fraudulent and the real. It's the most underrated film I've ever come across on IMDb. I'd recommend it to anyone who is fascinated by the ongoing battle between skeptics and believers, and to anyone who enjoys a well-directed, engaging thriller with an ending you will never see coming.


Elegant lighting, modern can not be ignored when it comes to creating a warm and welcoming. All fine furniture, decorative items and wall colors and materials of the same plant are accented by the soft glow, yet elegant radiant light. Often the devices from which light plays an equally important role in an atmosphere of the room selected to choose the right lighting to accommodate the light is as important as choosing the type of light and strength of what power is used .
If you provide a variety of moods is the goal, as in a living room, study or bedroom, then there are some lighting options that could be considered for these living spaces. Traditional lamps placed strategically around the room with different powers or bulb containing 3-way bulbs are a common choice. Other lights on the rise in popularity are applied and torchiere lamps that direct light from the light up, which reflects gently toward the ceiling.
Another option is to return, but technological advances are the runway lights. Running track lighting around a home bar or entertainment venue is very versatile because you can choose how many lights of the track contains, how many are at all times and in what areas are addressed. Another option would be to apply fluorescent tubes now come with peel and stick adhesive backing for extreme ease of installation.
If the goal is to provide bright illumination for home offices in the kitchen or workplace, garage and ceiling mounted lights traditional large would be the way forward. These are available in several stylish designs that add more excitement to any decor while providing plenty of nice to look at the light for the job at hand.
When light is blocked by the wall hung cabinets causing shadows in a workspace, a light source hidden, but can be added directly through cabinet lighting. This not only provides more light to the area, but also offers a touch of elegance to the room.
Of course, if you highlight some of the treasures, pictures or rewards is the goal, then install the washer lights, LED light strips or small the company can meet the need for perfection. These units direct their light source to a particular space to give the subject of lighting control complete and full attention.
The exterior of the house can also be accommodated with beautiful lighting, bright and elegant. Traditional car headlight bulbs or the more modern world, the options available to illuminate the exterior of the house offers a warm welcome to guests and deter intruders.

YourHeadacheSoultions.co.uk is one voice of the Watson Headache Institute.
The Watson Headache Institute was established to increase the awareness of cervicogenic (neck) disorders in headache and migraine by imparting my (and that of others) clinical experience and knowledge; to present and discuss past and present relevant research and to undertake and support rigorous clinical and scientific research in this specialty.
Appropriate and up-to-date knowledge is self-empowering; I believe that every headache sufferer has the right to know their headache diagnosis as precisely as possible (and what it means), to know the nature of their headache disorder, its outcome and possible types of treatment.
What has yet to gain acceptance is my (and that of others) belief, supported by my unparalleled clinical experience and a significant body of international research, that it is incorrect to consider headache and migraine types as totally different entities and that cervicogenic (neck) disorders can be instrumental in the headache and migraine process.
Although Physiotherapy, Chiropractic and Osteopathy are different disciplines, we are supporters of the idea that headache and migraine sufferers, no matter what their diagnoses, can be helped to live their lives more effectively through appropriate neck treatment. However, because treatment of the neck does not fit the medical model of headache and migraine, the model has demonstrated little interest in exploring this as an option. It is essential that all factors, which have the potential to sensitise the brainstem, be investigated equally. Currently this is not the situation – the neck is largely disregarded.
So, whilst YourHeadacheSolutions.com is also about Education, it is also a directory for headache and migraine sufferers to source practitioners who have advanced skills in the examination of the neck as a source of your headache or migraine – to create a more comprehensive approach and provide an alternative, medication-free treatment.
Experienced health practitioners trained in the Watson Headache Approach perform the examination and treatment techniques developed by Dean Watson. These techniques are based on his extensive experience of 7000 headache patients (21,000 hours) over 21 years and are now taught internationally.

Q: Nuances between "extenuate" and "palliate"? I'm looking for a word which defines the act of "making an offence look less severe". However, this can be done rightfully (because an offence might in reality be excusable because of unfavorable circumstances) or unrightfully (because there are no excuses for the offence, but the offender is trying to get away with it anyway, so this word is most likely pejorative).
Are there different words to describe each situation above, that I could use in everyday language, without sounding too formal?
What about 'extenuate' and 'palliate'? What other words are there, that have more exact definitions like these two?

A: I think the two words you're looking for are extenuating and mitigating -
From OED -

exˈtenuating, adj.
That extenuates in senses of the vb. Now chiefly in phrase extenuating circumstances: circumstances that tend to diminish culpability.
mitigating, adj.
That mitigates; alleviating, extenuating, moderating. Freq. in   mitigating circumstances n. (also in sing.) chiefly Law a fact or situation which reduces culpability for an offence and permits greater leniency in judgment or punishment;

A: Palliate hasn't meant "make an offense look less severe" for 200 years. I think you are looking for mitigate.
