Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)
The Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is one of the best known of the cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises); a cosmopolitan species found in the coastal and offshore waters of the world's temperate to tropical seas. As in most other dolphin species, T. truncatus are social animals. While the typical social group consists of 10-20 individuals, larger aggregations can be found.
T. truncatus individuals can reach lengths of up to 4m and weigh 650 kg. Bottlenose dolphins feed on a variety of fish and squid and some populations in the world have learned to use tools (e.g, sponges, mollusk shells, others) to assist in food capture.
Their lifespan is about 17 years in the wild, and about 50 years in captivity. The age of first reproduction for female T. truncatus is 9.5 years, with an interbirth interval of 3.8 years, and the age of last reproduction is 48 years.
In the North Atlantic, during the summer T. truncatus can typically be found offshore as far north as Nova Scotia; and inshore, typically from Long Island southward.
In the waters of the Western North Atlantic two distinct types, the Northern Migratory Coastal Stock and the offshore stock have been identified. There are an estimated 11,548 Northern Coastal Migratory bottlenose dolphins and 77,532 Offshore bottlenose dolphins.
These types differ not only in their distribution (coastal morphotypes, in warmer, shallower near shore waters less than 7.5 km from shore; offshore morphotypes, in deeper, cooler waters greater than 35 km from shore); they also differ morphologically, differ in their diet, differ in their typical parasite loads, and they differ genetically (different mitochondrial DNA haplotypes).
It is thought that the coastal morphotype is distributed continuously along the Atlantic coast, from south of Long Island, around the Florida peninsula, and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Coastal T. truncatus from the Gulf of Mexico and the Western North Atlantic are known to belong to two different stocks, based on mitochondrial DNA differences. It wasn't until recently that an accurate delineation of the stock structure of the Western North Atlantic coastal morphotype had been developed. According to the NOAA Fisheries 2015, Stock Assessment Report (SAR), the Western North Atlantic Northern Migratory Coastal Stock is now considered to be composed of "a complex mosaic of coastal bottlenose dolphin stocks." NOAA Fisheries now recognizes 5 coastal stocks: the Northern Migratory Coastal stock, the Southern Migratory Coastal stock, the South Carolina/Georgia Coastal stock, and the Northern Florida Coastal and Central Florida Coastal stocks. The coastal bottlenose dolphins of NY and New England are members of the Northern Migratory Coastal Stock.
While the coastal morphotype had occasionally been seen north of New Jersey, sightings of large groups were rare. In late June 2009, a large group of bottlenose dolphins was sighted near Glenn Cove, NY, and through July 2009, a group of 200 coastal morphotype bottlenose dolphins was sighted in elsewhere in Western Long Island Sound (Cold Spring, Huntington, Northport, Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Smithtown and Rye). Over the next few weeks the group (or others like it) were seen further east in the Sound, and ultimately were sighted and photographed near Montauk Point in early August 2009 and again in early September 2009.
In 2011 and 2012, the summer sea surface temperatures around Long Island were the warmest, on average, ever recorded. Those two years saw a tremendous increase in the abundance and distribution of the inshore morphotype bottlenose dolphin, essentially found in larger aggregations along the entire south shore of LI. During the summer of 2013, sea surface temperatures were much cooler, and the inshore bottlenose dolphins were once again more limited in their distribution. Since 2014, coastal bottlenose dolphins have become a regular compenent of the cetacean fauna in the waters of NY.

Book Title: Toni Wolff & C.G. Jung: A Collaboration
Publisher: Tiberius Press
Pacifica Program: Myth
Toni Wolff & C.G. Jung: A Collaboration
Captivating, astute, and often endearing, Toni Wolff & C. G. Jung tells the story of the most enigmatic woman in the creative life of C. G. Jung–Toni Wolff. Wolff was Jung's primary collaborator during the formative years of his psychological investigations. From the start, their interests meshed, and they brought out the best in each other's thinking. Not afraid to challenge Jung's ideas, Wolff fueled his creativity. Her brilliant mind gave him focus, while her sensitive nature kindled his imagination. Together, they explored the uncharted regions of the psyche.
At the same time, she introduced Jung to the life of eros, that vibrancy of experience he would later describe as the inner daimon of relationship. She was his muse, his confidante, and his inspiratrice–the dark, inscrutable woman he would call his "other wife." Yet she remains virtually unknown, a mystery–at best a footnote to Jung.
Independently, Wolff was a scholar in her own right, creating an original model of the feminine psyche, memorialized in her landmark essay, "Structural Forms of the Feminine Psyche." This book examines her signature essay, along with her other essays–mostly unknown–which offer insight into her sentiments, beliefs, and life choices.
For the first time, the life and work of Toni Wolff along with her complex relationship with C. G. Jung comes to light through personal letters, archival documents, impressions from her family, insights from Wolff's personal diaries, and statements made by Wolff and Jung themselves.Further enriched by the inclusion of dozens of historic photographs, Toni Wolff & C. G. Jung tells the story of the love and genius behind analytical psychology.
About Nan Healy
I am an independent scholar published in the Jungian journal Psychological Perspectives and have taught at the C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles. I have lectured on a wide array of cultural, artistic, and depth psychological subjects. My groundbreaking research into the creative liaison between Toni Wolff and C. G. Jung was funded by grants from the Joseph Campbell Foundation and the Countway Library of Medicine at Harvard University.

Most devotees of his pen maybe surprised that Mark Twain, the man with the X-Ray Eyes, the literary genius who could see through to the bone of any false contraption, the Holy Dean of American Letters, the Christ of Cynicism, the Lincoln pf our literature, made exclusive use of homeopathically trained medical doctors.
"Aqua Limacum. Take a great Peck of Garden-snails, and wash them in a great deal of Beer, and make your Chimney very clean, and set a Bushel of Charcoal on Fire; and when they are thoroughly kindled, make a Hole in the Middle of the Fire, and put the Snails in, and scatter more Fire amongst them, and let them roast till they make a Noise; then take them out, and, with a Knife and coarse Cloth, pick and wipe away all the green froth: Then break them, Shells and all, in a Stone Mortar. Take also a Quart of Earth-worms, and scour them with Salt, divers times over. Then take two Handfuls of Angelica and lay them in the Bottom of the Still; next lay two Handfuls of Celandine; next a Quart of Rosemary-flowers; then two Handfuls of Bearsfoot and Agrimony; then Fenugreek; then Turmerick; of each one Ounce: Red Dock-root, Bark of Barberry-trees, Wood-sorrel, Betony, of each two Handfuls.—Then lay the Snails and Worms on the top of the Herbs; and then two Handfuls of Goose Dung, and two Handfuls of Sheep Dung. Then put in three Gallons of Strong Ale, and place the pot where you mean to set Fire under it: Let it stand all Night, or longer; in the Morning put in three Ounces of Cloves well beaten, and a small Quantity of Saffron, dry'd to Powder; then six Ounces of Shavings of Hartshorn, which must be uppermost. Fix on the Head and Refrigeratory, and distil according to Art.
"When you reflect that your own father had to take such (allopathic) medicines as the above, and that you would be taking them to-day yourself but for the introduction of homeopathy, which forced the old-school doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational nature about his business, you may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived the attempts of the allopathists to destroy it, even though you may never employ any physician but an allopathist while you live." – Mark Twain
Well, some might still be inclined to say allopathic crap isn't any better in the 21st than the kettle stirrings Twain described in the 19th, as the mortality rates and lawsuits reveal.
The skeptical cowards squeal like pigs at slaughter, in their vituperative blogs, in their cursing forums, that it isn't true, trying to convince one another homeopathy is false, trying to talk each other off of window ledges and down out of trees, saying things like "don't do it Joe, you still got something to live for . . don'tcha?"
"Mark Twain made a lifelong expenditure on these homeopathetic quacks?" you ask?
Yes, he even subjected his beloved family to their reputed canards. Now how can this be you ask? Wasn't this man a devout atheist, we know he had the analytic powers of a cold reader, a mentalist. The man was a human lie detector, and . . didn't he . . wasn't he . . a skeptic?
Allow me to take a little more time from your busy day and double down on this. Twain was not a Luddite and homeopathy did not escape his circumspective zeal.
New York Sunday Mercury
Official Physic
[http://www.twainquotes.com/mercury/OfficialPhysic.html]
Ed. T. T.: — It is one of the beauties of our advance consolidated and all-embracing government that questions which were left to puzzle the private judgment of the citizens under the old regime are now settled by the legislative powers authoritatively. Among other differences of opinion there has been always a variance of choice under which system a citizen preferred to find his way across the Styx, and he enjoyed in this State till now the privilege of choosing the rower who was to aid in ferrying him over in Charon's boat. In other words, if a citizen was inclined to take salts by the ton, ipecac by the barrel, mercury by the quart, or quinine by the load, and thus be cured of his ailment or his sublunary existence by the wholesale, he was at perfect liberty to invite the services of a medicus of the allopathic style; and if another citizen preferred to toy with death, and buy health in small parcels, to bribe death with a sugar pill to stay away, or go to the grave with all the original sweeteners undrenched out of him, then the individual adopted the "like cures like" system, and called in a homeopath physician as being a pleasant friend of death's. Citizens there were too, who liked to be washed into eternity, or soaked like over-salt mackerel before they were placed on purgatorial gridirons, and these, "of every rank and degree", had the right to pass their few remaining days in an element that they were not likely to see much of for some time. Then again there were those who saw "good in everything" and who believed that whatever is is right, and these last mixed the allopathic, homeopathic, and hydropathic systems, qualified each with each, and thus passed to their long homes, drenched, pickled, sweetened, and soaked. But all this is fast being changed. The highest power in our State has been forced to declare, through the workings of over-legislation, that the allopathic system is the only one at present recognized by the State, and so has reinstated in his position a noted allopathic physician in the Health Board. Before this decision of the Governor's was made known, there was a war of lancets, and many hard pills to swallow were administered by the rival homeopaths and allopaths. Among arguments used were those founded on the questionable statistics of the number of patients who recovered while being treated by the rival systems. Some sarcastic people, justified by the saying of the well-known Oliver Wendell Holmes, may be of the opinion that more people get well in spite of the doctors than by their help, and that a doctor is as likely to be famous from the number that he kills as from that which he cures. Something like this might have passed through the Governor's mind, for evidently he was undecided under which king death to speak or die, and showed that he is like most laymen, inclined to be eclectic; for immediately after the appointment of the allopath to that Board which will authoritatively recommend the kind of physic good for the public bowels in the event of the spread of an epidemic, and which poor patients will be forced to swallow, whatever their medical code may be, the Governor paid the high but rather sarcastic compliment to homeopathy of appointing one of its disciples to a place on the Board of Commissioners for the new State Lunatic Asylum to be located at Poughkeepsie. No doubt, the Governor thought that people divested of reason could offer no reasons against the appointment; and that if the lunatics were not improved by sugar pills, they would at least die sweetly — a lunatic more or less being of little account. Thus it is officially settled that allopathy is good for the sane and homeopathy for the insane. The famed "judgment of Solomon" dwindles to folly in comparison with this decision. But alas! for the changeableness of human affairs, an energetic Senator is determined to have the hydropaths officially recognized; and no doubt to satisfy the followers of that school, shower-baths, douches, and sitzes, will have to be ordered for the benefit of some class in the community. No persons need the cooling influences of cold water more than the small-fry of hot-tempered politicians who periodically increase our taxes at the State capitol. If, over each member's seat a shower-bath was contrived, and by some electric-telegraph means the check-strings could be placed at the control of the Speaker, then, when honorable members wax so hot in debate that they forget the rules of decorum and ignore the Speaker's gavel, the presiding officer could pull the check-strings, souse the offending members, and bring them to order and a frame of mind and body in which they would look at things coolly. Some such arrangement might be applied to caucuses and conventions, of which the members are troubled with superfluity of bile and too great a rush of blood to the head. Thus the hydropathists might be pacified by being allowed a share in public hygienics. But to return to the starting-point of this communication, the mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivalry of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose that independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in fine, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise.
– M.T.
If they had anything that wasn't already corrupted, I (John) would think that this information would tie the minds of pseudoskeptics into knots, and this is as it should be, as the spirit of homeopathy is a constant reminder of wit's end that what shouldn't work does anyway.
But the question remains, how could the unusually hardheaded Twain suddenly go soft on homeopathy, as the quote to the hard headed skeptic implies? Or was he a good disbeliever, like the skeptoids desperate grasping, with their arguments drowning in a thimble would demand, just making fun of it?
Or lacking that, is there a way to twist or interpolate it to make it sound like he is?
"Think! skeptos, think!" the real pseudoscientist cries. "To lose Twain, the ultimate skeptic on this one would be a crushing blow to our cause, and we skeptics must have him!"
Well, here are the damn facts, Jehosephat. Between 1870 . . and I am guessing his death in 1910 . . wherever he and his family went, Twain made EXCLUSIVE use of numerous medical doctors trained as homeopathic physicians, two of which became close, trusted friends of the family, such as Dr. Cincinatus Taft, MD and Dr. Howard Kellogg, MD.
Here's the reference in Ober's biography of Twain that proves he was an avid believer in homeopathic medicine: http://tinyurl.com/homtwainmum.
Let's see what lies the denialists will try to make out of that.
Despite his smoking and drinking Twain was the ripe old age of 75 when the man punched out in 1910, the year of the comet, the same year as the target of his real antagonism died at 89, another homeopath by the name of Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science.
These are unusually long drafts of life for their day. Could it be homeopathy kept them alive, or was it cigars, whiskey and Christian Science?
If Twain could have excoriated her for homeopathy, he wouldn't have hesitated, he would have floated her as a witch.
Too bad, Randi, you don't get Twain, not on this one either. And having spoken for Twain, as Twain, many times, in front of large crowds, I think I could honestly say my opinion is that if Twain was alive today, he would find James "the Amazing" Randi to be a truly disgusting human being. If not a rope, I suspect the only thing he would concede to Randi would be a blindfold and a cigarette.
Twain may have been a good liar, but as far as I have been able to tell he didn't take anything to be true or not just because it shouldn't be due to the standards of atheism, not until he could stick his own nose into it.
But isn't it grand, isn't it sweet, that the word's wealthiest man of all time (Rockefeller), and its greatest literary genius (Twain) and its most noted spirtual healer (Eddy), and its greatest revolutionary (Gandhi) were all ardent supporters of homeopathy in the 20th century?
I, John Benneth, laugh, lay back, sip my Scotch and smoke my cigar: What sweet revenge there is in the literature.
This leaves me to tell you of how I met Mark Twain and got entangled with him. I hope you may read about it in an upcoming submission to be entitled Homeopathy, Mark Twain and Me.

Secret Fears of Cannabis Indica
Jury mount and data long
With the exception of Vithoulkas, among homeopaths no discussion of the effects of cannabis exists in my memory, when in fact the Materia Medica provide comprehensive semiological registers to host such a discussion. Please add your own experience and information in the commentary below.0
Vithoulka video, Cannabis indica
Fear of losing control; delusions
Clarke:
Clinical.─Catalepsy. Chordee. Clairvoyance. Delirium tremens. Delusions. Epilepsy. Gonorrhœa. Headache. Mania. Menorrhagia. Paralysis. Prostatitis. Satyriasis. Stammering. Uræmia. Urinary disorders.
Characteristics.─The use of Cannabis ind. in the East as an intoxicant gives the leading note of its sphere of action. It produces a state of exaltation with sublime visions, delusions, and hallucinations in great variety. Time seems interminable, space illimitable. Imagines himself in a room of which the walls gradually close in upon him. Double consciousness. Fixed ideas. Apprehensive of approaching death; of becoming insane. Great agitation; anxiety; nervousness. Horror of darkness. Incoherent talking. Uncontrollable laughter. Inability to fix his thoughts on one subject. Forgets what he intends to write or speak. Can. ind. produces a sensation of levitation. Sensation as if in a dream. Vertigo on rising, with stunning pain in back part of head. (Can. ind. removed for me a vertigo in which the patient felt as if the house were falling in ruins about her.) Shocks through brain on regaining consciousness. Guided by this symptom, I removed with this remedy a "noise like a crash or explosion during sleep." Sensation as of brain boiling over and lifting cranial arch like a lid; opening and shutting sensation. Weight at occiput, from which pains start up sides of head to temples and vertex. Headache with flatulence; lasts till flatus can be passed up or down; throbbing of occiput. Scalp sore feeling; crawling on vertex; sensation as though skin tightly stretched over bones of face. Clairvoyance and clairaudience; extreme sensitiveness to noise. Grinds teeth whilst asleep. Stammering and stuttering. There is a sensation in anus as if sitting on a ball; as if anus and part of urethra were filled by a hard, round body. The urinary and generative organs are very strongly affected. There is constant dull pain in region of right kidney. Pains in kidneys when laughing. Urine loaded with slimy mucus after exposure to damp and cold. Frequent micturition with burning pain, in evening. Dribbling. Urging and straining, but cannot pass a drop. Burning, scalding, or stinging in urethra before, during, and after urination. Increased sexual desire, satyriasis, priapism. Erections: while riding, walking, or sitting still, not caused by amorous thoughts; violent; painful. Gonorrhœa; without pain; with light-headedness; very profuse yellowish-white discharge. Feeling as if discharge in urethra. Chordee. Very profuse, painful, dark menstruation, but without clots. Palpitation, awakens from sleep. Stitches in heart, with oppression, > deep breathing. Warmth of spine extending to head. Backache < during catamenia, which occur every two weeks and are scanty. Paralysis of lower limbs and right arm. Nash relates the case of a lady suffering from cardiac dropsy, who, when relieved of the latter, suddenly lost the power of speech. In answer to a question she could begin a sentence, but could not finish it, as she could not remember what she wished to say. She was very impatient about it; would cry, but could not finish the sentence, though she could signify assent if any one did finish it for her. Can. ind. cured rapidly. [In one case of over-dose the observer experienced a modification of this: Absolute forgetfulness of the thought, speech, or acts of the previous moment; startled by hearing the echo of the last words of a sentence he has just spoken. Having suggested a walk to a companion and meeting him at the street door, wondered why they were there. Afterwards he could remember everything. Walking about out of doors.] Can. i., like Bell., has: Wants to sleep but cannot. Very sleepy. During sleep: starting; talking; grinding teeth; nightmare. In paralysis there is tingling of the affected parts. The sensitiveness to noise is extreme; can hear a whisper in adjoining room and is irritated thereby. In some subjects a perfect condition of catalepsy is produced.

PROC BANDI: The Cryptopathology of Donald Trump
"I think I forgot it all after she stepped on my toes, and with a belly full of my wine wrapped a huge python snake around my neck like a collar and forcibly kissed me . . a big open mouth kiss, with lots of tongue."
This is a work of fiction. Except for historical and public figures, the resemblance of characters and businesses described here to anyone living or dead is purely coincidental and unintended. It is not to be mistaken for medical advice. If you have a medical condition, seek the advice of a certified professional practitioner.
From the transcribed case files of Dr. Proc Bandi, M.D., MHP (Master Homeopathic Physician)
"I had the privilege once of intimately knowing a clinically diagnosed narcissist when I was working in Virginia City, Nevada back in 2001. A Washoe Zephyr was beating up the Comstock when she phoned one night looking to do a story on me for the local newspaper. I had every reason to say yes, so she invited me over to her house for an interview and asked if I would bring a bottle of wine . . to her home . . down the road . . in Silver City. A Zephyr is not a steady wind, the violent smacking it was giving my car already had me spooked enough for what was turning into a not so steady episode in my life. Her modern ranch style house dead ended a blackout rambling dirt road on the side of a blind cliff. The door was answered by a frowsey looking blonde who invited me into what was looking like an office. On a shelf to my left was what looked like the skull of a Cayman . . or a baby crocodile . . and my thoughts of typology immediately went to Lachesis, the homeopathic snake remedy. I don't remember too much of the evening, none of the usual amenities. I think I forgot it all after she stepped on my toes, and with a belly full of my wine wrapped a huge python snake around my neck like a collar and forcibly kissed me . . a big open mouth kiss, with lots of tongue. As fond as I am of fiction, I tell no lies . . it could've been a boa, but the rest is as true as my recollection can make it for bona fides in the matter of narcissism. I know she was a narcissist because she later told me she was clinically diagnosed as such by a seemingly real doctor. You may think that the use of a constrictor for forcible osculation was confirmation of a brilliant call of the homeopathic remedy made from snake venom for a sexually tortured woman posing as a journalist, but it wasn't so. As it turned out, she wasn't a Lachesis at all, her constitutional remedy typology was Platina, same as high school mass murderers and the President of the United States, the homeopathic remedy for narcissism."
[N.B. A narcissist is someone defined by their unusual self centeredness and self interest, grandiosity, lack of empathy and manipulativeness, and people love them for it, it is the consumate style of self confidence. The homeopathic treatment of narcissism typically is Platina metallicum: Ionized platinum in solution. Platina, semiologically speaking of character type, is denoted by alienation, a disproportionate view of things around him, proclivity to terminate others, the desire to kill, lack of guilty conscience, view of others as little and inconsequential, erotomania, sexual perversion. Clarke says, "One characteristic symptom, either when found alone or in association with other conditions, has led to many cures with Plat.─Lost sense of proportion in both ocular and mental vision. Objects look small or the patient thinks them small. This becomes pride and hauteur in the mental sphere; the patient (generally a woman) looks down on everything and everybody. This is a keynote of Platina]
Proc Bandi: "The visual tipoff to a Platina is a tilted back head, literally looking down their noses at everyone and this is a common posture for Donald Trump. It fits my own experience that Platinas have been described as super-sexy Lycopodiums. suggesting that beneath the hard exoskeletal shell of a Platina lies the fearfulness of a Lycopodium, perhaps the next remedy after giving Platina. The functional use of platinum in modern industry I'll venture to say is the same as that in politics, as a catalyst. Like other substances in the homeopathic pharmacopeia, its properties are anthropomorphic, meaning that people affected by this remedy share its qualities, dense, malleable, ductile, and highly unreactive. It is a silverish-white transition metal, one of the rarer elements in Earth's crust. Transition metals and their compounds are known for their catalytic activity. It may be argumentative that Trump is dense, malleable, ductile, and highly unreactive, but I would proposition that outwardly he is, that is to say that it is an exoskeletal shell whether for the good or bad has had a catalytic effect on those around him, and in Trump's case this would be the entire world in transition, ruled by an openly Machiavellian character. –The Silver city woman was suffering from hepatitis, so I prefaced a course of Lycopodium with a dose of Platina 10M which, with orthomolecular supplementation, cured her of her liver problems.
[N.B. The fundamental basis of Machiavellianism is that a ruler is not bound by traditional ethical norms]

THE CANDLE BURNS LOW, the memento mori high upon the shelf grins down at me, I must now write hurriedly before my dimming faculties quit or time on trodden soil expires, for now I have the key to unlocking the most mysterious mechanism of science, its most baffling assembly: The Power of the Infinitesimal.
THE QUESTION HAS BEEN POSED: How is it that the mere taint of what should be pure water, presumably voided of an added solute by serial dilution, still retains the biochemical properties of the original solute, as is demonstrated in the medical doctrine of homeopathy?
NOW IF the FDA, FDCA and the clinical reports they reference are to be believed, answering this question would unleash a severity of charm the conventionally accepted history on this planet has not yet foreseen; as the law of homeopathy is the fundamental basis of the vaccine . . immunology, proven in epidemics from smallpox to Ebola and pandemic flu, but not accepted as possible. the testimonials of cure, dismissed by notional science (and the patents it serves) as coincidence . . or lies.
I EXPOSE HOMEOPATHY AS QUANTUM CHEMISTRY
In a previous entry I introduced quantum chemistry as the latest mount for homeopathy, as all paths in science lead there, for the enlightened > the newest Pauling's identification of contiguous electronic structuring from infinitesimal to atom to crystal. The triumph for homeopathy is confirming the specificity of the sub-atomic field, meaning that clathrates, liquid aqueous structuring (LAS) transcends H-bond breakage by movement of solute ions throughout the structure; the genesis of the architecture of clathrate, snowflake and crystal by electrons is of unfathomable depth. This is why the disassociated solute doesn't lose its properties in thousands of homeopathic dilutions.
In the Nov. 2nd entry you may notice along the way I am harried by cynics nipping at my pedagogues. Here is a troll who has harassed me on Twitter. Here, writing in my Journal, he is more respectful.
"Gold" (?) writes "If you really have finally explained the quantum chemistry of homeopathy in conventional ionic theory then the research must have been replicated by others. Can you provide links to the studies that validate this?"
A reasonable question for the uninformed . .
MY REPLY to "Gold."
The seminal work linking homeopathy with ionic theory is found in Royal S. Copeland, A.M., M.D.'s "The Scientific Reasonableness of Homeopathy" http://www.homeowatch.org/history/copeland.html
See "molecular dissociation"
"Gold" in reply to johnbenneth.
"I'd already found that. I'm actually interested in the replications. The strength in any scientific hypothesis is in the testing and failure to disprove it."
This gets so tiring, dragging out the boilerplate, setting up the type, firing up the kiln, lashing the horses to the mill, when will this Promethean task ever end? Copeland lists replicable tests at the end of the article. At the end I give these links to what they, the endless skeptic, take to be a journey to the unknown, a report in which they challenge every word, dot and comma to be fiction. I would simply ignore this half wit in favor of more productive activity, like smoking a cigarette, taking a nap, getting drunk, watching Trump blow up the World . . but others are might notice.
In reply to Gold.
Tests of specific molar conductance are relatively common and simple . . and have been performed on homeopathic dilutions. Here's an example: http://scienceofhomeopathy.com/brucato.html
Dielectric strength testing by Brucato and Stephenson was a replication of Gay and Boiron's conductance test of high dilutions, followed by four other similar published tests. I have counted a dozen other types of physical tests for homeopathic dilutions, such as NMR (18 replications), transmission electron microscopy, [plasma discharge] and beta scintillation of neutronic radiation. The work of the Yves Lasne Prize sponsors was primarily NMR and revealed new indices, such as effects of gravitation, UV and EM fields on homeopathic solutions. Read Theory of High Dilutions and experimental aspects by Rolland Conte, Yves Lasne, Henri Berliocchi and Gabriel Vernot.
Here's another review of tests supporting ionic theory for homeopathy:
'The "Ultra High Dilution 1994" project was an endeavour to take stock of the findings and theories on homeopathic extreme dilutions that were under research at the time in areas of biology, biophysics, physics and medicine. The project finally materialized into an anthology assembling contributions of leading scientists in the field. Over the following two decades, it became widely quoted within the homeopathic community and also known in other research communities. The aim of the present project was to re-visit and review the 1994 studies from the perspective of 2015.' http://www.homeopathyjournal.net/article/S1475-4916(15)00060-0/abstract?cc=y=
Here's another review of physical testing of homeopathic dilutions (of varying quality) showing evidence of the solute in post Avogadro solutions, what notional academia erroneously believes has to be pure solvents. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12676040
So if you still have doubts about an ionic asymptote in homeopathic dilutions, conduct your own tests, publish your findings and post YOUR links.
In a previous entry I also asked for $5 million, a quarter of what I want to open a clinic based on the work of Conte et al.

The Homeopathic Intuitive #1- Boils, Vertigo, Nephritic Syndrome
Regard with caution: What follows is a prologue to a remedy suggestion for a nephritic syndrome case. I don't know quite how to address this without sounding weird, but I'll give it a try anyway. This is not to be taken as medical advice. If you have a medical problem, consult the medical profession. Be skeptical.
Please excuse its length, but I think you'll find it interesting.
I had a difficult case once out of Pakistan where the patient had been to several homeopaths and tried a dozen different remedies for boils in his armpits and groin, to no success except suppuration, the flesh hanging down in shreds. It was a horrible mess and he had been suffering for a long time. I can't imagine what the pain must have been like.
After having tried several remedies to no avail I simply sat down and prayed for an answer that came to me in a flash: Arnica. I looked it up and there it was: Arnica . . for crops of boils!
I instructed the patient to obtain an Arnica 10M, crush the pill between two spoons, stir into water, take a teaspoon into his mouth and spit it out.
Two days later he contacted me from Karachi on Skype, in a panic, having turned bright red. I told him to be calm, it was a sign the remedy was working.
I didn't hear back from him for another week. When I did, he was ecstatic, he was overjoyed, he was cured. It had worked. The suppurated boils had shriveled up.
"You have done what others could not. You have healed me," he said. I talked to him again couple months later. What he said made me slap my head: "I am taking up homeopathy as a profession." The nature or will set you will will and will and are in a will and will not
I tried this method on other unfathomable cases and it has worked as well. In my mind I simply ask for the remedy and the answer comes immediately. Given my skeptical notions and absolute reliance on the literature I am highly suspicious of the phenomenon. I'm afraid to say I don't trust it without researching the answer. It could be coming out of my subconscious, having prior read about the remedy and consciously forgotten it, or it could be a coincidence given the extensive indications that the remedies have within the materia medica, but I am more favorable to another explanation, the answer coming to me in the putative form of a little-known remedy.
For example, the last time I used this procedure was for a case involving vertigo. The answer came back "mustard". I looked up the Latin for mustard, Synapis nigra, and found it as such in Clarke covering vertigo. Whether it worked or not is yet to be seen. Patient took it on the F scale, accidentally downed a whole bottle of water containing the final chord and aggravated.
I used this intuitive savant technique (IST) for the nephritic syndrome case and immediately the answer came back "marshmallow", i.e. Althea off.
So here is the epilogue to this essay using IST on the nephritic syndrome case.
I haven't been able to find much on Althea officianalis per se except it is indicated for bladder problems, but a little additional digging raises eyebrows. The Herb Wisdom site says
"Marshmallow works as a mucilage, producing a thick sticky substance that coats membranes. Marshmallow extract contains flavanoids, which contain anti-inflammatory properties. The flavanoids are able to reduce inflammation while the mucilage holds them in immediately place and prevents further damage. The extracts also induce phagocytosis, which is the process in which certain cells engulf bacteria, dead cell tissues or other solid particles. This helps speed up the healing process. The mucilage remains unaltered until it reaches the colon, which is why marshmallow works well on most inflammatory digestive disorders."
What I found out next was my big wow:
Marshmallow contains Asparagine, first identified in asparagus juice. Asparagine, according to a 2011 study done at the University of Dundee, is required for normal kidney physiology and homeostasis.
"Although protein recapture and catabolism is known as a key function of kidney proximal tubular cells (PTCs), to date, no single protease has been shown to be required. Asparagine endopeptidase (AEP) is an unusually specific endosomal and lysosomal cysteine protease, expressed at high levels in the PTCs of the mammalian kidney. We report that mice lacking AEP accumulate a discrete set of proteins in their PTC endosomes and lysosomes, which indicates a defect in the normal catabolism of proteins captured from the filtrate. Moreover, the mice develop progressive kidney pathology, including hyperplasia of PTCs, interstitial fibrosis, development of glomerular cysts, and renal pelvis dilation. By 6 mo of age, the glomerular filtration rate in AEP-null mice dropped by almost a factor of 2, and the mice developed proteinuria. We also show that EGF receptor levels are significantly higher in AEP-null PTCs, which likely explains the hyperplasia, and we show that chemical inhibition of AEP activity suppresses down-regulation of the EGF receptor in vitro. Thus, AEP is required for normal protein catabolism by PTCs, and its loss induces proliferative and other abnormalities in the murine kidney, at least in part through defective regulation of the EGF receptor."https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21292981

Homeopathy and the Secret Continuum
ZENOPHOBIA, fear of the Infinitesimal Dialectic. Revelation of ZENOs PARADOX of the Infinitesimal splits the mind into two camps of cut and measure Science and immeasurably subtle and profound homeopathic Philosophy.
"If being is many, it must be both like and unlike, and this is impossible, for neither can the like be unlike, nor the unlike like." -Zeno of Elea c. 490 BC
2016 AD – The trouble with science, the crack in their zenosphere, is the putative exclusion of electroplasma from the material phase continuum.
Nobelist Johannes Diderik van der Waals won the 1910 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the equation of state for gases and liquids, explains material phase changes to vectors of zenophobia.
Johannes Diderik van der Waals got the Nobel prize for making this point over a century ago, but apparently it either didn't get to, or stick with modern academic larvae – – the fact that material phase changes are contiguous, and that includes the ionic phase of matter . . plasma.
In the science of homeopathy, this ignorance of phase mechanics by modern academia is a keystone point, it's entirely overlooked, but . .
Like a guillotine it's statements like these that get me in trouble with the vectors of xenophobia, the butt boys of PC science that
145 CASE STUDIES show adjunctive use of supramolecular drugs to be effective in intensive care, most notably sepsis, but PAUL MORGAN, M.D. lead sepsis consultant at Cardiff Univ, Hospital and vector of zenophobia vehemently refuses to believe it or even put them to a test . .
dominate carpe diem Philosophy, egomaniacal biology Prof. P.Z. Meyer's of Pharyngula being once again today's featured example of one of them, a peddler selling millstones as charms to anyone who dares to stick his head through the stone's hole to examine the proofs.
His last blahagh was a churlish slapdash review of my last Journal entry, the one reporting that the FDCA has listed . . for a long time now . . 1,000 or more homeopathic pharmaceuticals as legal drugs . . which homeopathy debunker Myers et al, like sepsis fuck up pioneer Paul Morgan, M.D. . have failed to debunk.
All he can say is John Benneth is a kook, music to my ears,
PC MYERS . . vector of zenophobia, nutty Univ. of Minnesota Morris professor and homeopathy hater Paul Z. Myers calls it kooky.
for it shows the rebuttal from the highest eschelons of science is still nothing more than the Null Hypothesis; no criteria, assay, taste, test or trial, just name calling and the sotto voce command to "ruin his life."
Since someone already beat him to it (me) and as like cures like, the orders by iatrogenocidal maniac Morgan, pseudo scientist Myers and "Honest Liar"star stage magician James Randi to ruin my life should be welcome if the material mass of it could be stripped away and presented homeopathically . . I mean, it's the mere thought of it that counts.
CAN'T QUITE FIGURE IT OUT . . .
VOX POPULI, popular Vector Of Xenophobia, JAMES "The Amazing" RANDI offered me $1,000,000 of Rick Adams' money to prove homeopathy in 1999.
And if I am "a kook," as Myers points out, "daft" as Morgan says, or crazy, a fraud and a "fucking liar" as Randi insists . . after calling me that for my reporting the theory and proofs for homeopathy, then what appellations does that tribe have for Nobel scientists like Behring, Josephson and Montagnier; top physicists like Conte, Tiller and Roy; clinicians like Hahnemann, Kent and Clarke . . and a lawmaker like Copeland . . for creating the theory and assays, and the proofs I'm being blamed for?
But even more cogent, what about this Dr. John Clarke, the M.D. I brought up in my last entrée, referred to in the FDCA's statute as the primary authority on homeopathy?
If I am a kook to Myers, daft to Morgan and a fucking liar to Randi, then what is this FDA bastion of homeopathic science John Henry Clarke, M.D. in comparison to me?
Perhaps we can learn something more on this score in the next installment of the John Benneth Journal . the world's number one homeopathy blog..
"You look beautiful!"
Don't thank me, thank the magic of homeopathy, one of the John Benneth Journal's most popular entries, How Homeopathy Made Me Beautiful.

The Vindication of Jacques Benveniste
HOW THE HOMEOPATH BECAME KING , Chapter 2: The Vindication of Jacques Benveniste
In our last entry, amid some inflammatory allegations, we pointed out some salient facts.
Homeopathy has not been the sole domain of fools, as scientists-in-name-only (SINOs) would have us believe. After being informed by a failed stage magician that the materials used in homeopathy are nothing but plain water, SINOs get factamnesia; tritiated water, i.e. radioactive H2O, as used in medical isotopes for tracking, is also, by the same critieria, just plain water!
We know what the enemies of homeopathy want it to be: What they said it was. But it's not. What it really is threatens their dress code, which is, among SINOs, if you look right you will be right. Therefore, anything that threatens looking right, anything that threatens to desynchronize the lock step ridicule of what was touted "scientifically" wrong, has to be attacked, even though it is shown to be demonstrably right.
SINOs get factamnesia when it is pointed out that supporters of homeopathy include real scientists who have gone against the weathered tide, some of them Nobel laureates for physics and medicine, such as physicists Brian Josephson and Emil von Behring, and virologist Luc Montagnier, who recently replicated Jacques Benveniste's discovery that the supramolecular* medicines used by homeopaths have electromagnetic indices.
SINO's become amnesiacs after learning that among notable medical doctors like Mendelsohn and Menninger . . who have practiced homeopathy . . is Royal S. Copeland, MD, a US. Senator from New York , who taught it, and was chief sponsor of the Federal Drug and Cosmetics Act. Copeland was The Godfather of the FDA, the iatric who crowned the homeopath "king of physicians," from which this series takes it title.
I certainly can understand that it is a go-along to get-along world, and for this I give my errant siblings some slack. I confess homeopathy might not be all I crank it up to be; after dragged from the shuttered cave, a fraction my years spent in Parmenides' light, compelled I am to admit, it may be part illusion.
But I don't think so . .
Among the long list of notable users of homeopathic medicine were some arch-skeptics. Mark Twain, the world's most oft quoted man, dean of American letters, the Lincoln of her literature and author of the first "Great American novel" . . not because it was the first to be composed on a typewriter, but because of its insight into humanity. Twain was nobody's huckleberry, and Twain was a regular patron of homoeopathic physicians.
Whereas atheists are infamous homeopathy bashers, after ten years suffering from an incapacitating, unrelenting and mysterious stomach complaint, Atheist Jesus Charles Darwin was cured by Disraeli's homeopath, Dr. James Manby Gully, MD. And so the list of renowned users goes on and on. The richest man to have ever lived, John D. Rockefeller, was a lay homeopath who offered free homeopathic treatment to all his Standard Oil employees. He passed over at 97 with his own personal homoeopath by his side. Legendary songwriter (perhaps the greatest of all time) Paul McCartney of the Beatles is quoted as saying, "I can't manage without homeopathy. In fact, I never go anywhere without homeopathic remedies. I often make use of them."
Twain's great love/hate relationship was with a homeopath who also just happened to be, by Twain's account, one of , if not the most powerful, and perhaps the richest American woman of her time, Mary Baker Eddy, revelator of the new American Christian Science religion and founder of its church.
Her first marriage was to a homeopath, Daniel Patterson. Her son, Ebenezer Foster Eddy, was also a homeopath. The inability of physical science to explain the healing action of homeopathy was taken by her as proof of spiritual healing. It was homeopathy, she said, that led her to the discovery of Christian Science, by breaking the hold that materialism had laid hold on her mind.
Having witnessed cures that had no explanation in physical science, Eddy concluded that they had to have originated in the mind. The problem with this reasoning are the biochemical effects of homeopathy's supramolecular ionized materials, unless of course you are willing to extend psychokinesis to the petri dish and the effects of homoeopathy on plants and animals,
But this isn't good enough for SINOs.
Up until 1988 pre-clinical testing of high dilutions as used in homeopathy was simply ignored as being ridiculous. If there were no plausible explanations for the action of supramoleculars, then they had to be fictions. But that blew up in critics faces in 1988 with publication by Nature magazine (impact factor 30.98) of a trial by INSERM, the French medical research institution's replication of basophil degranulation by a dilute of histamine (Poitevin) that showed blood cells, in vitro, reacting to dilutions as used in homeopathy (Davenas).
Like Nobel laureate physicist von Behring's 1901 threat after receipt of the prize for the diptheria anti-toxin, stating that all vaccines are homoeopathic, the rule among the medical Illuminati of giving aid and comfort to the homeopaths had been broken. For this, the chief scientist at the French National Institute of Medical Research, INSERM, Jacques Benveniste, had to be punished. He was subsequently subjected to vigilante justice, an embarrassingly unscientific trial and patently phony "debunking" by thugs, a pederast magician and a sweating magazine editor, invading INSERM and playing sleight of hand with the results of the double-blind, random controlled trial (RCT), provided by Benveniste.
Knowing that simply trashing Davenas and it's director wasn't enough, Nature commissioned a highly reputable lab (Hirst) to replicate the test and prove there was no effect. This also blew up in their faces. When Hirst's results showed there were indeed biochemical reactions to supramoleculars, they had to be attributed to an unknown flaw in the equipment.
That the world's top science magazine would employ such blatant pseudo science is stunningly tragic. But for the plucky, it's suicidally depressing, like watching your parents fight, finding out you're adopted and then getting kicked out of the house before the age of majority in a world wide economic Depression under a 3-branch Republican administration with nowhere to go but God or Hades.
After almost 200 years, conventional science still hadn't caught up with homoeopathy.
But for a quiet, unassuming Nobel laureate there was a thin lifeline for Benveniste. He was an English physicist by the name of Brian Josephson. I have never been able to quite figure him out. The Josephson Effect and the Josephson Connection are his eponyms, exemplars of a supercurrent, a macroscopic quantum phenomenon, generally classified as such when the quantum state is occupied by a large number of particles . . typically 10^23, which is Avogadro's number! The emphasis here might seem meaningless, but in the case of Avogadro's number it is surprisingly relevant to homeopathy. Avogadro's number is the mark of the complete phase change between gas and plasma, i.e. the ionized primary, or fourth phase in the revolving door of matter. It is also the point of dilution, the 23rd, at which the homoeopathic dilution embarks into the non-material world. 10^23 stands for the Holy Grail of homeopathy, for it is the 23rd to 24th decimal dilution in homeopathy when all the original starting material has theoretically been diluted out. It is the stumbling point at which materialism goes off the tracks in trying to understand the physically identifiable component of supramoleculars.
Get this: The theoretical size of the Universe is calculated to be 10^23 times larger than the observable. The implication here is that 10^23 is the demonstrable connecting point between what appears to the atheist as the real and the unreal; to the theist it is the connection between the material and spiritual world, and here, the poor dog guarding this gate is the Cerberus of real science.
It is the point at which the homeopathy's dilute solution becomes ionized, purely supramolecular.
These are startling coincidences, or they should be to the non-opiated.
In other words, the critics of homeopathy are totally ignorant of an entire phase of matter!
And so this is why I find Josephson puzzling. The "effect" implies a "connection" if not an explanation for homeopathy, as if he is patiently waiting for someone else to make it. One of the observations of 1910 Dutch Nobel laureate Johannes Diderik van der Waals, was that phase changes are contiguous and the liquid and the gas phase of a substance merge into each other in a continuous manner and show that the two phases are of the same nature. One of the touted mysteries of water is the simultaneous appearances of what are generally recognized as its three phases, but as anyone with a connection to Wikipedia can see in reality there are four basic phases of matter and locally 18 in water. By van der Waals criteria, water could then be considered a cold plasma that carries along the specificity of it ionized solutes. If three phases can show specificity, why should there be any surprise in finding it in all four global and the 18 localized in water??
In addition to being multi-phasic, water shows several qualities of being a plasma. It is made of of two gasses, has a high electrical component, both in internal tension and supercurrent. It emits electromagnetic signal indices. And so you can see, within the Josephson effect is the connection between science and homeopathy.
In the 1990's French scientists Rolland Conte and Yves Lasne discovered that the materials used as medicine in homeopathy had extraordinary emissions of beta radiation. Beta radiation is in the quintillion Hertz frequency range, overlapping the higher end ultra violet range and the lower range of x-rays. They published their results with beta scintillation and nuclear magnetic resonance in a remarkable book entitled Theory of High Dilutions and experimental aspects. They proved their findings in a very simple test using hospital x-ray film. Laying a pattern of homeopathic Natrum muriaticum 30C in rectangular tablets on the film, they burned the image of two letters into it, an "H" and a "P", to stand for Hyper Proton, which Conte describes as the absence of matter, the opposite of a black hole, which coincidentally fits the definition of plasma!
This is truly a remarkable physical test of proof for the mechanism, mode of action and physical efficacy of the unexplained materials used in homeopathic medicine. It shows the presence of Tritium, as found in tritiated water. It should elicit a yeow from anyone with a discerning mind who can see that it leads to the natural conclusion . . that these highly diluted, or supramolecular substances used in the curative medical practice of homeopathy, are not only specific radiant emitters in the class of low energy radio pharmaceuticals and medical isotopes, it also leads to other conclusions. Homeopathy is, albeit unwittingly, nuclear medicine. It is the product not of a chemical but of a nuclear reaction. A change occurs in the nucleus rather than a rearrangement in the electron shell.
It means (at last) we have found the scientific grail for real medicine, real cures for what conventional "modern"medicine has profited on as "incurable." Like Linda Loman pleading for her husband Willie, "Homeopathy never made a lot of money, not like corporate medicine. It never had big ads in the newspaper or TV commercials showing people riding horses in fields of daisies or walking on the beach at sunset holding hands. It may not be able to cure everything, but it is real medicine, and a terrible thing is happening to it. So attention must be paid to it, it must not be allowed to fall to its grave like an old dog. Attention! Attention must finally be paid to such a medicine!"
LOL, she's right! And I would like to see the Lasne Conte beta scintillation film test replicated by American scientists in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, and published in a peer reviewed journal with high impact. In the name of real health care I call upon my colleagues and all science minded individuals and organizations to see this work done by the most credible workers available.
Please contact me if you think you can help to prove homeopathy in this way and vindicate one of the great scientists of all time, who stood up for homeopathy, and was shouted down.
In place of the letters "HP" I would prefer it to read "HOMEOPATHY WORKS."

* supramolecular means "beyond the molecule" and refers here to the high diluted . . beyond the molecular limit . . used in homeopathy, identified by structural analysis. Not well understood by traditional chemical analysis, but a legitimate branch of chemistry since the 1950's.

For decades, the treatment of juvenile offenders has been uneven across Georgia's counties. And the state violates federal law by locking up too many status offenders — kids who have committed offenses that are not crimes for adults, such as frequently running away or skipping school.
A proposal to overhaul Georgia's juvenile justice system that has passed the House and is expected to be before the Senate this week could be a way to deal with these issues.
Cost is one incentive to make a change: When a status offender is confined, it costs $247 for each day.
But there's also the long-term view. One of the goals of House Bill 242 is to treat status offenders not as criminals, but as children in need of services. Parents and guardians would be required to participate in prescribed programs as well.
"Those resources are not plentiful (at this time), and they are not as local as they need to be," said Melissa Carter, executive director of the Barton Child Law and Policy Center.
But where they are in place, they can make a difference.
R.L. got a life-changing break when he came to the attention of the juvenile court in Newton County.
In another county, R.L. very well could have been locked up by now, considering his long history in the juvenile court system. He first ran away from home when he was 12 and eventually started fighting at school and with his father. Instead, the now-15-year-old reports after school every day to a cinder block building where he and other teenagers spend the next four hours learning to control their emotions and to deal with dysfunctions at home.
"Me and my dad couldn't sit in the same room," R.L. said of the years before he started at the Newton County evening reporting center. His mother is in prison for drug trafficking.
"It's still bumpy" at home, he said.
Few programs such as this exist in Georgia. But the hope is that juvenile justice reform making its way through the General Assembly and $5 million the governor has said he wants to spend will be the impetus for steering more low-risk juvenile offenders away from detention and into community-based programs.
Not only would such programs redirect some would-be adult criminals, but taxpayers could save up to $88 million over the next five years.
Federal dollars that passed through the Governor's Office for Families and Children as grants have already funded 11 local programs for status offenders. There are also a few grant-funded programs for other low-risk offenders involved with drugs or alcohol or who have committed serious crimes but could still be saved.
Also, Carter said, truants and runaways locked up with the more dangerous juveniles often come out of their detention worse than when they went in. First, they are exposed to dangerous juveniles who continue to be violent while locked up. But they also sometimes succumb to peer pressure, learning new attitudes and adopting a delinquent lifestyle.
Federal law prohibits putting status offenders in secure lockups, but Georgia does it anyway, risking the loss of grant money. Federal rules say money can be withheld if a state locks up 20 percent of its status offenders, and so far the highest Georgia has gotten was 14 percent.
Status offenders are a very small segment of the criminal justice system. This past week, only 43 out of about 1,700 teenagers in the state's short- and long-term lockups were status offenders who cost $247 for each day each one is confined. In comparison, advocates point out, community-based program costs range from $1 a day to $77 a day for the most intensive approaches.
There are payoffs in human terms as well. According to state data, almost 70 percent of the kids locked up, even status offenders, will return to the juvenile justice system. The various local programs around the state report recidivism rates of 9 percent or less.
L.R. was a status offender, having been declared unruly and a runaway and eventually locked up for a year and a month. But so far, she has been the exception and did not learn bad lessons while at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center in southeast Atlanta.
Troubles with her mother started when she was 10 and got worse as she got older. Arguments would be followed with L.R. running away or the mother telling her daughter to leave.
"I became a little rebellious and a little rude and disrespectful," said L.R., now 20.
At 12, the state took her from her mother and gave custody to her father, a man she had not seen since she was 8. She continued to run away until eventually a Fulton County Juvenile Court judge decided she should be sent to a youth detention center.
If HB 242 becomes law, the solution for juveniles such as L.R. would never be to lock them up but to help them instead.
"We're going to need to expand services for these children. … You can put your money in the playpen or you can put your money in the state pen," said Rockdale County Juvenile Court Judge William Schneider.
According to a Pew Charitable Trust survey, 90 percent of Georgians want only higher-risk, dangerous juveniles locked up and the others put into programs that will teach them to think differently, give them skills and help them navigate their family dynamics.
And taxpayers would see a savings of $88 million over five years if HB 242 becomes law.
Ben Miller — a juvenile court judge in Fayette, Spalding, Pike and Upson counties — thinks it's best to keep status offenders out of secure lockups, but he foresees problems in circuits that have no services.
In total, nearly 5,300 truants, runaways and unruly juveniles have been locked up in a state facility since 2004. On any given day, the number of status offenders locked in a state facility may be few, but it adds up over 12 months.
A proposal to overhaul Georgia's juvenile justice system has passed the Georgia House and is expected to be before the Senate this week. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has chronicled the problems plaguing the system for years. In a series of articles last year, the newspaper exposed the system's struggles with inadequate staffing, violent conditions and children locked behind bars for relatively minor offenses. The AJC will continue to closely follow how Georgia punishes its youngest criminals.

Will Aid Get a Boost from Europe's New Financial Transaction Tax?
Mark Leon Goldberg February 14, 2013
Several European countries may adapt a new Financial Transaction Tax by January 2014. That could be a big boon for international health and development.
Here's the story. The European Commission is moving forward on small tax on financial transactions with the agreement of 11 key EU member states: Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia and Slovakia. This represents two thirds of the GDP of the EU. The proposed taxes range from 0.1% "for shares and bonds, units of collective investment funds, money market instruments, repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements, and 0.01% for derivative products." Typical consumer transactions, like credit card payments, mortgages and currency exchanges are excluded.
The European Commission expects about $30-$35 billion in new revenue through this scheme. So where would that go? That is for each individual member state to decide, but there is lots of discussion, and some momentum, that at least a portion of the revenue goes towards international development and global health.
During his United Nations speech in September, French president Francois Hollande, who commands the second largest economy of these 11 participating member states, explicitly called for the financial transaction tax to benefit international development.
Speaking of development, I also want us to take an honest look at reality. We will not achieve the Millennium Development Goals without new resources. We are all aware of our respective nations' budgetary constraints. That's why, here at this UN forum, I am issuing a call for innovative financing. It would give our organizations the resources to effectively fight diseases — HIV-AIDS, malaria etc. I want to applaud the success of UNITAID, which was financed by a tax on plane tickets. This is the path upon which we have embarked. Now we must take the next step, which I propose: establishing a financial transaction tax, to which several European countries have already agreed, so that capital movements can be reined in or, if they are not, can – through this tax – finance development and fight threats to public health. France has created such a tax. France has even made another commitment: to earmark at least 10% of this tax for development and for fighting public health threats and pandemics.
That is the message I wanted to send you today: let's ensure that a global financial transaction tax is instituted and its revenues are allocated to development and the fight against pandemics. It would be a fine example of what I call the globalization of solidarity. It is one of the most beautiful ideas that the world can uphold.
The phrase "Globilization of Solidarity" (which sounds much better in French) was coined by fellow Frenchman Philippe Douste-Blazy, who is the UN under-secretary General for innovative financing for development, the chair of UNITAID, and former foreign minister of France. In September 2011 UNITAID commissioned a feasibility study of implementing an FTT across all G20 member states and found that it could raise as much as 265 bn euros/year.
The politics here in the USA are very far from even considering an FTT as a source of revenue, let alone to support foreign aid. Still, it seems that there is momentum among some of the largest economies in the world to devote a portion of these revenues to international development. The press release from the European Commission explaining this new scheme says as much:
How much revenue is the FTT expected to generate? How will this be used?
The proposed FTT applied under enhanced cooperation is expected to generate €30-35 billion a year, corresponding to 1% of the participating Member States' tax revenues.
The Commission has proposed that a portion of the revenue could be used as an own resource for the EU budget, resulting in a corresponding reduction of the national GNI contributions of participating Member States. The money for the national budgets could be used to help consolidate public finances, invest in growth-promoting activity, or meet development aid commitments. Ultimately, it will be for participating Member States to decide how the revenues of the FTT should be used. (Emphasis added)
To put these numbers in context: The total money from all sources around the world to fight HIV/AIDS in 2011 was $16.8bn. UNAIDS says $22-$24bn is needed to fully fund a global AIDS response that treats every patient and implements every HIV prevention strategy. With about $7bn more every year we can end AIDS within a generation. But we need new funding sources, so opportunities for new revenue like an FTT are particularly attractive.
The estimated 35bn euros/year in FTT revenue roughly equals $47bn. If just a small portion of that goes to supporting global health and development we can go along way to making the world a healthier place for all.

Alternatively, you could calculate the next hour with three DateAdd functions:

Infrastrata PLC (LSE:INFA) provides an update on the final milestone for the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) of its Islandmagee gas storage project. The FEED and in-situ Downhole Testing programme for the project is co-financed by the European Union's 'Connecting Europe Facility' (CEF). The company confirms the FEED report has now been submitted to the European Union in accordance with the grant conditions.
Infrastrata's wholly owned subsidiary Islandmagee Storage Limited (IMSL) was granted planning permission for the natural gas storage facility at Islandmagee, Co Antrim, in October 2012. The plan is to create up to eight caverns, capable of storing a total of around 450 million cubic metres of gas in Permian salt beds approximately 1,300 metres below Larne Lough in the Islandmagee peninsula. The facility has the potential to provide 25% of the UK's natural gas storage capacity.
Adjacent to the proposed site is Northern Ireland's main gas-powered power station at Ballylumford. The station provides half of the province's power, and is also the terminating point of the existing Scotland-Northern Ireland gas pipeline, making it an ideal location for a project of this type.
The Islandmagee-1 well was successfully drilled in May/June 2015 and confirmed the feasibility of the project, by obtaining wireline data and core samples of the Permian salt.
The proposed facility is unique in being the only gas storage project in North West Europe to be awarded 'Project of Common Interest' (PCI) status by the European Union, confirming its strategic importance to the entire continent. PCI status unlocks EU grant funding and accelerated permitting procedures, as well as incentivised regulatory conditions.
The submitted FEED report will now be reviewed by the EU to ensure it complies with all the required conditions. InfraStrata expects it will receive its final payment from the EU sometime in the second quarter of 2019 after this verification process has been completed.
Now the report has been submitted, the company will concentrate on completing negotiations that are underway with three potential equity providers that have provided the company with term sheets for equity funding at Project or subsidiary level. The term sheets are currently non-binding, however, Infrastrata states discussions are detailed and advanced in today's update. The company expects to provide a further update before the year-end.
The next phase of the Project is planned enabling works, which are scheduled to start in January 2019. A couple of studies to develop the project further have been undertaken. The company has commissioned a Concept Development Study by Costain to assess the technical implications of twinning the pipeline that runs between Northern Ireland and Scotland. This includes investigating the restrictions of connecting any new pipeline into the existing network and the necessary regulatory framework.
In addition, the company has instructed Atkins to provide a Concept Development Study on developing additional caverns on Islandmagee, as previous advice received indicated that an additional 15 caverns could be possible on top of the 8 already planned. Infrastrata stresses in its update that there are no guarantees that it will be possible to develop any further caverns at this stage.

Watertown Passes 1,000 COVID-19 Cases, No New Deaths
More on Around Town
Subscribe to Around Town
Watertown's COVID-19 cases rose again in the most recent report from the Mass. Department of Public Health, adding more than 100 new cases to the total and moving the Town past the 1,000 mark.
According to the Dec. 17 report, which the DPH released on Dec. 27, Watertown has had a total of 1,023 COVID-19 cases during the pandemic, up 134 from the previous week. Over the previous 14 days, there have been 241 cases reported, up from 181 in the previous week's report.
The percent of positive tests in Watertown also rose. In this week's report, the positive rate was 4.35 percent. In previous report the rate was 3.66 percent. If the rate climbs above 5 percent, and the cases per 100,000 residents remains above 10 (Watertown is at 52.1), then Watertown will move into the red group, or high-risk. Watertown has not been higher that "yellow," or moderate risk, since the state created the COVID-19 community reporting system.
While the cases have risen, the Town of Watertown reported no new COVID-19 deaths in the Dec. 24 Town Manager's Coronavirus Update. Watertown has lost 28 people to the virus. The Town reported that 15 employees have tested positive for the virus.

Yikes, that's a lot of new cases in just a few weeks.
What changes will happen in Watertown if/when we get into the Red Group?
Charlie Breitrose on December 28, 2020 at 12:35 PM said:
Good question about going into the COVID Red group. There are no hard and fast requirements from the state. The Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Education recommends districts be in hybrid if they are in the red category. Watertown is currently running hybrid for elementary, middle and high schools.

It's 130 new cases in a week….bringing the total to 1000 total cases since the start of the pandemic. (Not 1000 a day)
John Graham on December 28, 2020 at 7:02 PM said:
1,000 cases in nine months out of about 33,000 residents. There have also been about 250,000 who caught the virus with most surviving. This means that in nine months, six million, 750 thousand people in this state HAVE NOT caught the virus. As my doctor told me last week, far too many people are panicking to the tenth degree by avoiding fresh air, driving their car with a mask on while alone, and acting as if it's the plague. Lighten up.

How do I force post-integration-test phase to be executed even when the pre-integration-test phase fails? Right now, if pre-integration-test phase fails the post-integration-test phase doesn't get executed.

A: Taken from http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/

If you use the Surefire Plugin for running tests, then when you have a
  test failure, the build will stop at the integration-test phase and
  your integration test environment will not have been torn down
  correctly.
The Failsafe Plugin is used during the integration-test and verify
  phases of the build lifecycle to execute the integration tests of an
  application. The Failsafe Plugin will not fail the build during the
  integration-test phase, thus enabling the post-integration-test phase
  to execute.

Nearly 80 brethren and companions attended the South Fylde Group dinner at St Annes Palace and that was no surprise with the Provincial Grand Master Tony Harrison being in attendance. This was a particularly poignant occasion however, as it marked the retirement of group chairman Ian Ward.

The evening began with attendees gathering in the finely decorated 'Blue Room' for tea, coffee and biscuits. It was here that members enjoyed the opportunity to meet with Tony in a 'getting to know you' environment. Also circulating amongst the members were Assistant Provincial Grand Masters David Winder and David Randerson, Assistant to the Provincial Grand Principals Duncan Smith, the Provincial Grand Wardens John Karran and Barry Dickinson, the Provincial Grand Chaplain Godfrey Hirst, the Provincial Grand Secretary Peter Taylor, the Provincial Grand Director of Ceremonies Keith Kemp with Deputy Director of Ceremonies Jason Dell. There were several other grand officers headed by Past Assistant Provincial Grand Master Steven Reid, along with several group officers; conversation was lively to say the least.
Everyone then moved to the main lodge room for the customary question and answer discussion with Tony Harrison in the chair, where he was supported by David Winder, Duncan Smith and Peter Taylor. A lively debate ensued covering subjects such as the needs and difficulties of communicating through newspapers and other forms of media, attitudes towards privacy and personal liberties, internet platforms such as Solomon, Membership Pathway and Facebook, with many views concerning recruitment and retention and the care of candidates.
Some interesting insights were offered from the chair and by speakers alike. John Topping of the Lodge of Triumph No 1061 opened with a question concerning our relationship with the press, stating that he had several links with local journalists through his work. Comments from Godfrey Hirst, David Winder and Ted Rhodes illuminated issues within religious organisations and within the police. In response to an enquiry by David Calvert of Tithebarn Lodge No 8446 regarding the internet platform Solomon, Peter Taylor advised that the majority of those logging into this are from outside the United Kingdom. Questions and comments by Chris Tittley and Geoff Fogden of the Lodge of Fidelity No 1256 were key to the debate on recruitment and retention with the need to interview members who resign from the Order to establish the reasons why people leave, it was stated that many people leave Freemasonry during the first two years of joining.
With dinner time looming, Tony Harrison brought the discussion to an end, thanking everyone who had contributed to the debate, many more than can be named in this short account. The next move was towards the bar and the banqueting suite, where a three-course meal had been arranged by group secretary Dave Barr. Following the meal several toasts were observed. That to the health of the Provincial Grand Master was proposed by Chris Thompson, WM of Landmark Lodge No 7273. In his speech Chris spoke of the admiration that everyone in the group and the Province of West Lancashire has for the work that Tony carries out on our behalf. Chris also thanked Tony for finding the time in an already busy diary to come and spend time talking individually to the brethren present.
In the foreground, pictured from left to right, are: Harry Davidson, Ken Oxley, Tom Dunne, Keith Jackson, Mike Heed, David Calvert and Grahame Whattam.
Having thanked Ian Ward for the invitation to the meeting and Chris Thompson for his toast, Tony continued by thanking all the South Fylde Group officers for the work they do. He went on to thank all the South Fylde brethren who supported him on his visit to the Emulation Lodge of Improvement in London, where he had been extended the honour of being their festival president. In all, over 150 West Lancashire brethren attended, making the biggest festival ever in terms of attendance. Tony continued by thanking Ian Ward for all the work he had carried out during his term of office, a comment that was well applauded by the audience. He then announced that Ian's successor would be the current group vice chairman, John-Robbie Porter, again to warm applause. Tony also announced that the new vice chairman would be Dave Barr.
In his general comments, Tony offered congratulations to all receiving honours at Provincial Grand Lodge, adding that he hoped that many will come and support them on the day. He also offered his best wishes to the many companions who will receive chapter honours in October.
Barry Dickinson followed with a toast to the South Fylde Group in which he congratulated many of its lodges on receiving certificates of Patronage to the MCF 2021 Festival. He also congratulated the members of the Fylde Group Lodge of Instruction on their support of Tony Harrison at the Lodge of Improvement Festival, particularly Arthur Lea, who had taken an active role by delivering one of the lectures to such a high standard. Barry also praised Ian Ward for his hard work as chairman of the group, at the same time acknowledging the support he had received from his group officers.
David Winder then rose to make a presentation to Ian Ward. David spoke of the appreciation felt by group members for Ian's long years of service, which had begun when he was appointed as group secretary in 2005, then vice chairman in 2009, culminating in five and a half years as chairman. David also thanked Ian for always being there when needed and the support and friendship he has always provided. David then presented Ian with a voucher for £250 to spend on the other passion in his life, that of cycling. Also, to Ian's great surprise, David presented him with a glossy booklet filled with a collection photographs from his life. At the end of the presentation, all present stood to deliver loud and lengthy applause.
The event was closed by a presentation of flowers to Tony Harrison for his wife Maureen and then the closing toast by Terry Stevens-Lewing of Fairhaven Lodge No 5076.

After Airport Shooting, UVM Swimmers Grateful for Safety
Published Jan 9, 2017 at 5:44 PM
Vermont Student Athletes Relive Airport Chaos
//www.necn.com/on-air/as-seen-on/WEB-Jack-Fort-Lauderdale-4pm_NECN-410156525.html
The team was in a different part of the Fort Lauderdale airport Friday when a shooting rampage erupted. (Published Monday, Jan. 9, 2017)
A group of Vermont college students who were at the airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, when a shooting rampage erupted Friday are expressing gratitude for their safety.
Members of the University of Vermont women's swimming and diving team were in a different part of the airport during the attack that left five people dead.
"It was amazing all 44 of us managed to stay together the entire time," said Kelly Lennon, a UVM junior, who is safe in Burlington and was swimming at the campus pool Monday.
Friday, Lennon, her teammates, coaches, a trainer, and some relatives were leaving a training trip in Florida when shooting erupted inside a different part of the airport.
Five people were killed and more were seriously wounded.
"There was some pushing and shoving and lots of crawling on top of people," Lennon recalled. "It was definitely chaotic. It went from very calm to very crazy really quickly."
The man accused in the attack, 26-year-old Esteban Santiago, made his first court appearance Monday.
The Iraq war veteran was told he could face the death penalty. He was charged with performing an act of violence against a person at an airport serving international civil aviation and two other counts, NBC News reported.
Santiago opened his attack after flying from Anchorage overnight, with a connection in Minneapolis, checking his gun and ammunition in a gun box, authorities said.
A news helicopter captured video of the UVM swimmers running on the airport's tarmac, in fear of a second attack. That turned out to be a false alarm.
"This is definitely the hardest and most trying thing we've gone through as a team," said Ali McClure, one of the team's captains.
About half the team returned to Burlington Sunday, said head coach Gerry Cournoyer.
Other students, including one who broke a foot in the chaotic evacuation, opted to stay with family a bit longer, the coach noted.
Normal practices are resuming this week and UVM's Spring semester starts next week, the team said.
"We definitely feel truly blessed," Cournoyer told necn Monday, expressing gratitude for the team's safety.
Cournoyer had nothing but praise for his team for the way they supported each other and even helped total strangers during that melee.
He said the lives lost in Florida provided somber perspective for the Catamounts, who considered themselves lucky to have only suffered a few minor injuries and lost some belongings.
"When you look at things in the big perspective, lost luggage, lost cell phones, those are things that can be replaced," Cournoyer said.
Lennon said she and her teammates are keeping the victims of Friday's shooting rampage in their thoughts and prayers.
A meet in Maryland this past Saturday that was canceled will not be rescheduled, Cournoyer said. A meet this Saturday at Northeastern University in Boston is still a go, he added.

Q: SenchaTouch2: Store "sync" Request data-format (Content-Type) I'am creating a simple app with ST2 and within my store I defined a proxy like this one:
    proxy: {
    type: 'rest',
    url : '/api/v1/posts',
    reader: {
        type: 'json'
    }
    },

Everything works as expected. If I call the sync method, the store sends a request to my api with the new data, json-encoded.
My question now is, if there is a way to send my data url-encoded. Do I have to override the sync method?
