Västerhus kapell på Frösön var troligen den första kristna kyrkan i Jämtland. En stavkyrka byggdes sannolikt vid mitten av 1000-talet, i samband med kristnandet. På 1100-talet byggdes den första kyrkan i sten i byn Västerhus på den västligaste delen av Frösön. Den romanska kyrkan hade ett rektangulärt långhus med ett torn i väster och ett smalare rakt kor i öster, samt en aldrig helt färdigbyggd absid.
Västerhus församling införlivades sannolikt med Frösö församling under slutet av 1300-talet, men kyrkan verkar att ha använts ännu i slutet av 1400-talet.

Skola
På den danske kungen Fredrik II:s befallning grundade biskopen i Trondheim år 1578 Jämtlands första skola i Västerhus kapell, och  skolverksamheten pågick till omkring år 1597.

Ruinen
Kyrkoruinen frilades vid arkeologiska utgrävningar år 1947.
1952 revs ruinen av Flygvapnets flottilj F4 då man behövde utvidga landningsbanan. 364 skelett av medeltida jämtar forslades då bort från kyrkogården och skickades för undersökning till Osteologiska institutionen vid Stockholms universitet. Skeletten förvaras nu, trots flera vädjanden genom åren att återlämna dem för återbegravning på Frösön, på Statens historiska museum i Stockholm. De utgör ett klassiskt forskningsmaterial i svensk osteologi.

Ruinen har RAÄ nr 2528-K-0000-00-0010 hos Riksantikvarieämbetet.

Re: Hitch Pin Recovery Discussion
Ryan M wrote: For what it's worth, I'd never allow someone to be "recovered" via a tow-hitch pin. Not trying to be rude, just being honest. That will never be an acceptable form of recovery on an NSJ sponsored run.
Ideally, picking up a trailer hitch shackle receiver would be your best option for a cheap and quick method of reliable recovery.
A little off-topic, but there's some science to your concern, Ryan. If I may...
The significant force involved with towing a trailer is typically the tongue weight, which is not taken up by the hitch pin, but rather the receiver. This is a downward load, normal to the ground. The pin is put in shear during acceleration and deceleration. Technically, it's double shear. This is when the hitch wants to pull into or out of the receiver. Giggity. I'd venture a guess to say that braking produces a greater shear force in the pin, because generally speaking, you're taking it somewhat easy on the loud pedal when hauling a trailer. These are the loads that the hitch pin is designed for. It's actually a very simple calculation, when given input loads, because of the tight-fitting geometry of the hitch and receiver. HOWEVER, when you take the hitch out of the equation, and put a strap around the pin, the loading is entirely different, because now your hitch pin is in bending and you have to account for the shear strength of the cotter pin and the width of the strap, the angle at which you're pulling and a slew of other things. In short, the pin will be much weaker in this scenario as opposed to in double shear when the hitch is used properly.
It's scary stuff when you're working with such significant, dynamic and unpredictable loads. I just don't wanna see anyone getting hurt out there!
Tonellin 9/6/2013, 2:30 pm
Doesn't the hitch receiver utilize the same hitch pin?? It might have a d-ring to loop the strap through, but it's still connected to the tow hitch via a hitch pin.

Yea, I'd agree with that, the main thing is that you have the pin in bending rather than in shear when using a strap around the pin. The pin is way stronger in shear than in bending. Make it double shear and its twice as strongerer.
Because I'm bored at work I'm going to calculate the bending load that the pin could handle as well as the load in double shear. Will update in a tad.

The loops on the straps are typically ~1", even for a 2" wide strap.

Why is the hitch pin bending with the strap on it? Why does the cotter pin come into play with a strap but not a receiver? I understand pulling at an angle that is definitely different because you can't do that with a receiver but the other pieces are all equal
Also my 2" recovery strap is definitely 2" at the loop
[quote=Because I'm bored at work I'm going to calculate the bending load that the pin could handle as well as the load in double shear. Will update in a tad.[/quote]
Very interested in this
Its much easier for the pin the fail in bending, thus even with the load distributed by the eyelet of the strap, the pin is able to bend because you're loading it with a compliant material. It WILL bend before failing in shear when loaded by a strap. I think what Rob is getting after with the cotter pin is that in order for catastrophic failure to occur the pin would first have to bend to the point where the cotter pin was the only thing holding the pin onto the receiver. Thus the cotter pin gets loaded in shear and either prevents the pin from pulling out, or the cotter pin fails in shear allowing the pin to pull out and then badness happens.
Bending calculations are harder, and I haven't done one in a while so bear with me, but in double shear a 5/8" steel pin can handle around 50,000 lbs.

I didn't mean that the pin WILL bend, but the analysis is different because the loading is different. The cotter pin will be a factor because it will be put in shear as the hitch pin deflects along the direction of the load applied through the strap. The simplest approximation of the load being applied through a strap is a point load at the middle. It's very different than a shear load. Short of going through the equations step by step, I'm not sure of a better way to explain it, and I'm not sure this is the proper venue for it hahaha. I don't want to bore everyone else.
My strap loops are folded over. I assumed that was typical.

ahhhhh that makes sense. I wasn't thinking about the pin bending and then the cotter pin coming into play. Yes in the case I'd imagine the cotter pin would be as useless as a paperclip haha
@Rob I get what you mean now..this dynamic load/double shear/bending calculations conversation is over my head for hte most part..guess that's why I'm a finance nerd haha
This ^, we're thinking along the same lines, I was going to assume 3 point bending as a worst case, but the load distribution by the strap as well as the compliance of the strap makes it a little more complicated. Going to stop talking in this thread now and maybe continue elsewhere.. Btw, you an engineer Rob?
Sorry eldomi, I'm too new to Jeeps to be of much help.

You must also take into account the tensile strength of the pin itself. Without that your calculations are at best a rough estimate of the shear and bending force applied to it. The cotter pin is the weak point unless it's tensile strength is equal to that of the pins which I doubt it will be. I have 2 options for my receiver recovery. first is the shackle the second is a locking pintel hook. The pintel hook is much stronger since it's anywhere from 5 ton to 20 ton pull.

I'm not an engineer, but tend to think of everything in analogies.
If you have a 2x4 resting on cement blocks a few feet apart, would it be easier to break it stomping on the board right next to the blocks, or kicking it in half from the middle?
Jake 9/11/2013, 9:25 pm
CrawlingForward wrote: I'm not an engineer, but tend to think of everything in analogies.
Essentially that's what it comes down to. Got busy and forgot to post my results, but iirc my bending calcs came up with ~12,500 lbf to cause the pin the fail when loaded such that the strap was effectively applying a point load in the middle of the pin. Still a lot of force, but its a long shot from 50,000 lbf (aprox what the pins can handle in double shear).
Now whether the load distribution provided by the width of the strap takes away from that point load is debatable.. Regardless, using a shackle receiver is a safer way to recover.
Hitch pin recovery
White Buffalo 9/11/2013, 10:33 pm
Based on the ASME code the shear force on material is tested in single shear (elasticity) and compression. Double shear comes into play after those tests are performed. If your calculations say it's 12,500 in shear and 50,000 in double shear then it should be ok. Try to calculate th compression force since this is what the pin will likely fail from the bending force. Use the tensile strength of the metal and the thickness or diameter of the pin. Without those any calculations are best guess. It's been over 20 years since I played with that one.
Jake 9/11/2013, 10:37 pm
12500 was in 3 point bending. 50000 was the equivalent of shearing the pin in two locations simultaneously. Only been a year since I graduated but Im pretty rusty already lol

Why Homeopathy? If you are ill conventional medicine has so little to offer!
When I started to write my e-book, 'Why Homeopathy?', which involves comparing the conventional and homeopathic treatment of a variety of illnesses and diseases, I had to decide the best way of ascertaining what conventional medicine has to offer patients. I decided that the NHS website, 'NHS Choices' was the best way of doing so.
Why Homeopathy? now covers over 75 illness, from Acne to Whooping Cough, and the number of conditions is growing regularly. When writing each of these articles I have been astonished at the paucity of treatments available to conventional doctors. Indeed, there appears to be 4 main conventional medical responses to illness.
In these illnesses, it is often clear that conventional medicine has no treatment to offer, and the importance of the condition is usually downplayed. There may be good life style advice, but no actual treatment. They are not life-threatening conditions, and it is often said, quite correctly, that they will normally go away within a few days, or a few weeks. Yet for patients they can be annoying and/or disruptive conditions for the patient - and conventional medicine has nothing to offer!
There is no treatment for the condition, but the condition can be ameliorated.
I have been surprised how NHS Choices often admits that there is no treatment available for particular conditions, and then offers drugs that can ''ameliorate' it. Often this 'amelioration' is provided by pain killing drugs, which does nothing to treat the condition that is causing the pain! Usually they are conditions that will last only a few weeks, or a few months, but during this time they can be debilitating and distressing for the patient. Yet conventional medicine has nothing to offer the patient.
The main response of conventional medicine to most illnesses is to offer pharmaceutical drugs. Often NHS Choices will outline the side effects of these drugs, although usually only the milder, less serious ones, and rarely do they give a full list of the known side effects. And usually the seriousness of the adverse drug reactions are downplayed. We are told that not many people get them, they go away once the drug is stopped, and (of course) the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Most conventional treatment for most illnesses ends up on the operating table. Surgery is the 'when all else fails' option for conventional medicine.
Never, in any of these four responses, is there any mention of alternative medical therapies, even for those conditions where it is admitted openly that there is no effective conventional treatment available.
The NHS is Britain's national health service, established in 1947 to offer the best treatment available to all patients. What it actually offers patients is just one type of medicine,. It has created a monopoly. If the monopoly medicine it offered was able to offer us effective and safe treatments for illness that might just be acceptable. But conventional medicine does no such thing. The NHS Choices website shows that can offer four levels of treatment. Nothing. Next to nothing. Or something that is known to be potentially harmful to patients. Then it can offer surgical operations, largely as the treatment that has proceeded it has been ineffective.
Please do not take my word for this. It is my assessment. So look at my 'Why Homeopathy?' website. Or, regardless of where you live in the world, look at the NHS Choices website.
In Britain we spend over £100 billion annually on conventional medicine, that represents nearly 10% of all government spending. And yet the NHS, the monopoly supplier of conventional medicine, is on its knees, and demanding yet again a vast increase of resources.
No wonder it is difficult to get an appointment with a doctor!
No wonder Accident and Emergency departments cannot cope with the demand!
No wonder there is a shortage of hospital beds!
No wonder waiting times for operations are increasing!
Conventional drug-based medicine has so little to offer us.
Statins. An attempted rehabilitation by Big Pharma?
Most new pharmaceutical drugs are heralded as 'wonder cures' or 'main bullets', none more so than Statin drugs. When drug companies found that statins reduced cholesterol, they invented a connection between cholesterol and the heart. So taking statins reduced cholesterol and our hearts would benefit. Yet finding any real link between cholesterol of heart disease is proving difficult to find, other than its ability to sell the drugs!
However, statins, had arrived, and pharmaceutical companies proceeded to invent yet another lie. They were, they said, entirely safe! Indeed they were so safe we should ALL be taking them! So prescriptions for statins rocketed, and the pharmaceutical cash registers sang their songs of profit. The drug companies were delighted.
But then, as happens with all pharmaceutical 'wonder' drugs, problems began to emerge. Statin drugs were not 'entirely safe', although the drug companies, the drug regulators, our doctors, and the mainstream media, decided not to tell the general public. The usual mantra was recited. The benefits outweigh the advantages! But as the years passed, and the evidence increased, his was increasingly difficult to justify. Doubts began to multiply about just how bad cholesterol was for our health.
The study was a large one, covering over 2 million people in Britain. Yet the list of adverse reactions was even then not comprehensive. The link between Statin drugs and diabetes (now at epidemic levels and usually blamed on our diet) was now linked to this 'entirely safe' drug.
Worse was to follow. The FDA (the USA drug regulator) reported on its website in January 2015 that statins were also linked with memory loss, confusion and dementia. The FDA stated that "it has been been investigating reports of coagnitive impairment from statin use for several years" and that "the agency has reviewed databases that record reports of bad reactions to drugs and statin clinical trials that included assessments of cognitive function." The report stated that memory loss, forgetfulness and confusion spanned "all statin products and all age groups."
Even some doctors now became concerned, and there was an increasing reluctance to prescribe them. So the pharmaceutical industry began to worry about its profits. It needed to take action. And, as they normally do in such situations they turned to medical science to help them preserve their most successful and profitable drug.
Scientists were recruited, (very carefully as we will see) and they produced a report that was published in the Lancet on 1st September 2016. "to help clinicians, patients, and the public make informed decisions about statin therapy for the prevention of heart attacks and strokes."
Basically, the report said that the benefits of Statin drugs were being under-appreciated, and the side effects were being exaggerated. Indeed, they found that the RCT evidence of the benefits were strong, and that the adverse events attributed to statins were not actually caused by them!
These findings were reported without too much critical examination by the mainstream media, and no doubt many people were re-assured. After all, medical science had spoken!
Yet this is a typical response of the pharmaceutical industry when profitable drugs begin to decline, when patients become more resistant, when even doctors are no longer willing to take the reassurances of the drug companies at face value, and are increasingly reluctant to prescribe them.
It has happened in exactly the same way with HRT, and I wrote about it recently (August 2016) in this blog.
And it happened in exactly the same way with MMR, when the vaccine was linked with Autism in the early 2000's. I wrote about this in September 2015.
Find money for some more medical research on the drug.
Select the 'scientists' who are prepared to produce a report that refutes the doubts, and supports the efficacy of the drug.
Make sure that the academic foundations doing the work is well funded.
And make sure that their media allies publicise the new research!
"This still does not address the calls for a thorough, independent review of the evidence of statins. This is especially important in view of the guidance which recommends that large numbers of healthy people should take a tablet every day."
"There are serious question marks about the reliability of industry-sponsored studies on the side effects of statins, and essentially that's what this review is. And a lot of the scientists involved in the original studies were involved in this review. It is not an independent review."
The Huffington Post published an article in April 2016 by Dr Assem Malhotra, entitled "The Great Statin Con", and this is well worth reading as it contains more on his experience and criticism of Statin drugs. (And certainly the BBC is never likely to publish them)!
So only those people who bothered to read to the bottom, the small print, of the BBC article would have got this message. This is typical of BBC News, and the mainstream media generally. They exist to do the bidding of the conventional medical establishment!
And worse is likely to follow. This report will now be used by the media to stifle any further discussion. Medical science has spoken! No counter arguments will be allowed for several years, until the evidence of Statin harm becomes overwhelming, and impossible to ignore.
Meanwhile, patients who have not been properly informed, will continue to take Statin drugs; they will suffer their side effects,'the pharmaceutical companies will continue to profit from them; diabetes, dementia, and other statin 'side effects' will continue to increase; and the NHS will be moved another step towards bankruptcy!
Well, that's how the conventional medical establishment works!
Conventional medicine, based on pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines, if failing. Most of their drugs have been withdrawn or banned, most of those remaining either don't work or are harmful to patients or both, and they are so expensive they are bankrupting national health services throughout the developed world.
This is old news for readers of this blog. But now it is possible to watch conventional medicine failing in front of our eyes, in a video that takes just over 1 minute to play. The video can be found on this link.
"What you're seeing in the movie is a vivid depiction of a very real problem. Disease-causing bacteria and other microbes are increasingly evolving to resist our drugs; by 2050, these impervious infections could potentially kill ten million people a year. The problem of drug-resistant infections is terrifying but also abstract; by their nature, microbes are invisible to the naked eye, and the process by which they defy our drugs is even harder to visualise....... You're seeing evolution in action. You're watching living things facing down new challenges, dying, competing, thriving, invading, and adapting—all in a two-minute movie."
The root of the failure of conventional medicine lays in its methodology. It sets out to kill things, and to change the functioning of our body. Just look at the names given to pharmaceutical drugs.
The video show how the natural world fights back, how the common gut bacteria, E-Coli, is initially attacked, but then overcomes the ANTIbiotic drugs that are supposed to kill them.
"What you're seeing in the movie is a vivid depiction of a very real problem. Disease-causing bacteria and other microbes are increasingly evolving to resist our drugs; by 2050, these impervious infections could potentially kill ten million people a year."
people need to know that conventional, drug-based medicine, is failing.
everyone needs to realise that pharmaceutical drugs are vaccines are not the answer to illness and disease, and whatever the claims for ANTIbiotics and other drugs have been hitherto, they are failing, and pharmaceutical drug companies have no new 'solutions'.
we need have this information so that we can all move away from conventional drug treatment, and move to medical therapies that actually do work, and which can help us live with, and amongst bacteria that are an important part of our existence.
We also need to realise that whilst there are claims that ANTIbiotics have saved lives in the past, the problem with them is not just that they will be able to do so in the future. Few people, for instance, are aware of the damage they have caused to our health during the last 70 years. ANTIbiotics have had a devastating affect on the health of our stomachs because they kill both 'good' and 'bad' bacteria (although in truth we can live in harmony with both).
Professor Martin Blaser, of the New York University, in his research "Stop the killing of beneficial bacteria" said this.
"Early evidence from my lab and others hints that, sometimes, our friendly flora never fully recover.. . These long-term changes to the beneficial bacteria within people's bodies may even increase our susceptibility to infections and disease. Overuse of antibiotics could be fueling the dramatic increase in conditions such as obesity, type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, allergies and asthma, which have more than doubled in many populations."
So the demise of ANTIbiotics will be no greater loss to human health than the demise of HRT, painKILLERS, ANTIdepressants, et al.
That is, they will not be a great loss as long as we realise, and we are told, that there are safer and more effective medical therapies available to us that will maintain our health from threats which are, in effect, only threats to those who continue to believe that conventional, drug-based medicine has any answers to ill-health.
As readers of this blog will realise I don't engage in conversations with medical fundamentalists, for two main reasons. First, they have nothing useful to say on the health issues that are important to debate. And, like most fundamentalists, religious, medical or otherwise, their views are entirely fixed, unchanging, and unreasoning. There is also a third reason. They try to engage with me on Twitter, constantly, and invariably they are abusive. They are trolls. They are not interested in debate, only on propagating and enforcing their own views.
So how would a conversation with a medical fundamentalist go?
Homeopathy is a very effective medical therapy.
No, it's not! There is no evidence that homeopathy works! Only conventional medicine, and its pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines, are based on science!
Yet many millions of people have been cured of all kinds of diseases for over 220 years, all over the world, so it must be effective.
No no-one has been cured by homeopathy! It is the placebo effect! They just thought they got better! There is no evidence that homeopathy works! Only conventional medicine is based on science!
But I have been cured with homeopathy. How do you explain that?
You are mistaken! You are lying! It is just the placebo effect!
But homeopaths throughout the world are curing sick people every day. Can all these people be mistaken? Are they all lying?
Yes, there is no evidence that homeopathy works! Only conventional medicine works because it is based on science! It is just the placebo effect!
But homeopathy works with animals and plants, how can that be a placebo effect?
That's all nonsense, there is no evidence that homeopathy works with either animals or plants!
There are now nearly 500 studies that have demonstrated that homeopathy works, and here they are.
No, these a not proper studies! They do not prove anything, and I will no change my mind! There is no evidence that homeopathy works!
What sort of studies would demonstrate to you that homeopathy works?
RCT's, Randomised Controlled Tests. These are the 'Gold Standard' in scientific testing! And your studies are no good enough! There is no evidence that homeopathy works!
There are an increasing number of RCT's amongst the studies I have shown you. Why do you dismiss these?
They are not acceptable to me! All of them do not meet my criteria for acceptability! There is still no evidence that homeopathy works!
Is there not enough evidence, within the studies I have shown you, and patient experience through the last 220 years, to suggest that more research should be done on Homeopathy?
No! There is no evidence that homeopathy works! It cannot work! It is just the placebo effect! Homeopathy goes against all the known laws of science!
If RCT's are really so good, why is it that all conventional pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines have been tested, and pronounced to be effective and safe for patients, yet they have failed to pre-warn us about about the disease they have caused, and they serious harm they have done to patients?
(Silence)! Medical Fundamentalists never answer questions about the iatrogenic disease caused by pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines that they maintain are supported by their science.
This pharmaceutical drug, or this vaccine, which has been banned, or withdrawn, or about which there is increasing evidence that it is causing harm. Why is this, if conventional medicine is supposed to be 'scientific'?
(Silence)! Medical Fundamentalists may appear to support 'scientific' medicine, but they never explain or answer questions about either its ineffectiveness, or the harm it has consistently caused to patients.
Is not the first requirement of any medical therapy that first it should do no harm?
(An ongoing and almost deafening silence ensues)!
So would you, at least, agree that homeopathy is a safe form of medicine?
No, homeopathy is safe because there is no active ingredient! Remedies are no more than sugar pills! Homeopathy cannot work because no-one can explain its working mechanism! Homeopathy just cannot work!
Is it not the task of science to discover the working mechanism of Homeopathy?
There is no reason to look into this! As a scientist I know that homeopathy is against all the known laws of chemistry! So I know that it cannot work! And despite all the evidence you have given me I insist that I am right! And nothing will prove that I am wrong!
Okay, so we have different views, but we can at least agree that patients should have a choice of medical therapy when they are ill.
Certainly not, any money spent on homeopathy is a waste because it does not work. Homeopaths are quacks, charlatans, out to earn money from vulnerable, unsuspecting sick people.
Yet many people would want to choose homeopathy because they know it is both more effective, and safer. Would you deny them this choice?
Yes. By offering patients homeopathy you are causing them harm! There is no evidence that homeopathy works! Pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines are supported by science! So by offering patients homeopathy you are denying them medicine that is based on science!
But conventional medicine has a long history of banned and withdrawn drugs and vaccines that have harmed patients. Medical science has not protected them. So how can denying patients a safe and effective medicine be dangerous when you recommend that they accept conventional medicine?
So should everyone be forced to accept the medicine you advocate, despite the harm it has caused, and is causing to patients?
Yes, because pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines are based on real science! As a result everyone should be forced to accept the drugs and vaccines I believe in! Moreover, I campaign to ban homeopathy from the NHS as there is no evidence that homeopathy works!
Of course this is not what a real conversation would be like with a mental fundamentalist. I have not included all the personal abuse that they engage in when 'discussing' health matters. But for anyone interested in what medical fundamentalist trolls have to say, I have written about this abuse in several blogs I have published in the past.
I am usually critical of doctors, not least because they are the people who give patients ineffective and unsafe pharmaceutical drugs. However, occasionally a doctor is prepared to raise his head above the parapet. Dr Des Spence is a GP in Glasgow, and a tutor at Glasgow University, and he published a blog, "Gabapentinoids - the new diazepam?" in the Pulse magazine (9 September 2016). He talks of the advice of 'experts' and 'media doctors', who tell doctors what to think "however mindless it might be".
"We GPs are 'seen' to take on this advice, but then systematically ignore it. We won't prescribe statins to everyone because it is irrational and stupid. We don't accept that 'pain is what the patients says it is', because common sense dictates that it isn't. Regrettably the infallibility of NICE and the deference shown to the 'expert' is creating overtreatment, medicalisation and iatrogenic harm. And iatrogenic harm is the worst of all harms, for doctors are responsible and it is wholly preventable." (My emphasis).
A doctor who recognises the enormity of iatrogenic harm is an unusual doctor. This blog continually points out that the so-called 'side effects' of pharmaceutical drugs are for the patient new diseases, often diseases worse than the condition for which the drug is taken. My e-book, 'DIE's: The "Disease Inducing Effects" of Drugs and Vaccines' is looking at specific illnesses and diseases and examining the pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines known to cause the condition.
Dr Spence continues by comparing the use of the drug, Diazepam, and other benzodiazepine drugs (of which Valium and Librium are perhaps best known) "... peddled as a safe and effective treatment for anxiety by companies and experts alike", with Gabapentinoid drugs. He describes how, when he started work in the 1990s, he had struggled with the "consequences of ... thoughtless advice" that produced "herds of middle-aged patients zonked out and dependent on benzodiazepines", and that his surgeries were dominated with "dealing with the fall out of dependence and abuse", including "drug seeking behaviours, lies, confrontation, rebound agitation, insomnia and withdrawal seizures. Just chaos".
Dr Spence says that it took the medical establishment decades to realise the psychological and physical harm that was caused (but fails to mention that Benzodiazipine drugs are still prescribed today)! He does mention, however, that doctors are still dealing with the 'radioactive consequences' of the "rapid, widespread and poorly controlled prescribing of benzodiazepines in the 1970s and 1980s".
And Dr Spence abhors the thought that the medical establishment has not learnt a lesson from the Benzodiazepine scandal. I have written about Benzodiazepine drugs elsewhere. But Dr Spence brings us up to date with what is happening in the doctors surgeries today with another class of drug, Gabapentinoids, which he thinks are equally harmful.
"In the last five years my sensor has been off the scale with the gabapentinoids (gabapentin and pregabalin). Patients are actively seeking gabapentinoids using the familiar crude acting skills, that I had witnessed with benzodiazepines 20 years earlier. A cocktail of anger, tears and threats in equal measure. Constant requests for dose increases, fanciful stories of lost scripts and a tag team approach with friends who 'corroborate' stories. The signs and symptoms of a drug of abuse and stigmata of iatrogenic harm."
Gabapentinoids, of which the brand name Neurontin, is perhaps best known, is a drug used to treat epilepsy, neuropathic pain, hot flashes, restless leg syndrome, epilepsy, neuropathic pain, post-herpetic neuralgia, and central neuropathic pain. It has a considerable number of known side effects, including sleepiness, dizziness, drowsiness, ataxia, peripheral oedema, tremor, sexual dysfunction, suicide, and aggressive behaviour. It was first approved in 1993.
We live in a society in which conventional medicine encourages us to take drugs for our health. The difference between taking drugs for health, and taking drugs for recreation is small. Gabapentinoids have been described as the 'ideal psychotropic drug', producing 'great euphoria', 'disassociation', 'opiate buzz', and other mind enhancing effects so loved by those who crave to such mind-changing, but addictive effects. So prescriptions for these drugs are apparently soaring, doubling in just three years. De Spence says that many doctors prescribe them 'freely and loosely' on the basis of specialist endorsement, even though he claims there are more effective and less harmful alternatives.
Pregabalin is already a controlled medication in the USA (and there is debate about controls in the UK), the research base for the benefits of gabapentinoids is of a short duration and in a small, defined population where as few as one in 10 benefit .
Dr Spence ends his blog with an important question, do we want "another benzodiazepines-style disaster all over again?" The answer is, of course, 'NO'. Yet will we get suffer another one? The answer, from past experience, is that if pharmaceutical companies can profit from selling a drug, they will pressurise governments, health authorities, and drug regulators to approve it, and the medical establishment will press doctors to prescribe it. And they will continue to do so until it harms so many people that the media can no longer ignore it, and its dangerousness can not longer be kept from us. It is the way that the conventional medical establishment works!
And it is not just Gabapentinoids that will cause such disasters, iatrogenic disease is being caused daily by a multitude of pharmaceutical drugs.


July 23, 2018 – Charlotte Hornets President of Basketball Operations & General Manager Mitch Kupchak announced today that the team has free-agent guard Tony Parker. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Parker appeared in 55 games with San Antonio during the 2017-18 season, averaging 7.7 points and 3.5 assists in 19.5 minutes per game. The French native joins Charlotte after spending the past 17 seasons in San Antonio where he was originally drafted 28th overall in the 2001 NBA Draft. Parker holds career averages of 15.8 points, 5.7 assists and 2.8 rebounds per game in 1,198 regular-season contests. The 6-2 guard has received All-NBA honors four times in his career (2009, 2012, 2013 and 2014) and has been named an NBA All-Star six times (2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2014). Parker is the Spurs all-time leader in assists and ranks third among active players in the NBA with 6,829 career assists.
The 17-year NBA veteran ranks sixth in NBA history in playoff games played at 226 (second among active players: LeBron James, 239) and ranks fifth in NBA Playoffs history in total assists with 1,143 (second among active players: LeBron James: 1,687). Parker was a member of four NBA Championship teams in San Antonio (2003, 2005, 2007, 2014) and was named the 2007 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player. Parker joins the Hornets as one of only four players in NBA history to total 4,000 or more points and 1,000 or more assists in the postseason (Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James).
Parker has enjoyed a decorated international career. He played in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics for Team France and won a 2013 FIBA Eurobasket Gold Medal alongside fellow Charlotte teammate Nicolas Batum.

Wembley 2012 Country Music Festival Reviews
Wembley 2012 Country Music Festival Review & Highlights
Read and Listen to the Festival reviews by Douglas McPherson, Lee Williams (plus Ali Isabella interview), Jim Duncan. Watch the Youtube Festival highlights
The International Festival of Country Music at Wembley Arena was worth reviving - 4 STARS out of 5
Courtesy XTF www.xthefrog.com
 When the promoter Mervyn Conn proposed a country music festival at Wembley in 1969, the British music industry laughed. Country was old hat, they claimed, and he wouldn't get a big enough crowd to fill his living room.
Conn proved his critics wrong. Televised throughout the 70s and 80s, the now legendary Wembley festivals grew into a four-day annual pilgrimage that drew country fans from all over the UK. They made household names of Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and Don Williams.
With many of the stars of country's golden age now departed, Conn's decision to revive his festival this year, after a 21-year absence, appeared almost as risky as his decision to stage the first one 40 years ago.
Headliner Reba McEntire, for example, is huge is America, with 70 million album sales to her name. But country is so underexposed on this side of the Atlantic that her repertoire is almost unknown to the wider British public.
The British media's lack of interest in country, however, has always belied a healthy grassroots following. And with a mixture of aching ballads and punchy blues-rock, the current Queen of Country reigned over an adoring audience that was soon dancing in the seats and up and down the aisles.
Lonestar, remembered for their big international hit Amazed, got an even bigger welcome than McEntire. For much of their set they sounded like a rock band, even finishing with The Beatles' Get Back. But with the moving ballad I'm Already There they reminded us of country's greatest strength: picture-painting, story-based, tear-your-heart-out lyrics that are the most direct and lucid in popular music.
Elsewhere, the 10-hour show celebrated country's great variety of sub genres. Asleep at the Wheel provided slick western swing, Ricky Skaggs served bluegrass and Jo-el Sonnier added a fiery shot of Cajun rock.
Veteran crooner George Hamilton IV was a link to the very first Wembley country festival while young Briton Tim McKay proved capable of making the loud and rocking yet still lyrically clever country currently in vogue in Nashville.
Perhaps the most memorable moment found 23-year-old Texan Will Banister – who was almost the only man in the arena wearing a cowboy hat – wowing the crowd with a sublimely straightforward revival of Lovesick Blues. Sixty-three years after the father of country music, Hank Williams, yodelled his way through the same song, it was proof that country music, like rock'n'roll, will never die.

2 ) Lee Williams CMR Nashville Review & Interview (2 March 2012)
Ali Isabella

www.xthefrog.com
That's a great song from Ricky Skaggs called "Can't Shake Jesus" from an album called Mosaic that came out about 18 months ago but he sang it at Wembley and it really went down well and so did ALL the other acts that appeared. Reba McEntire was excellent, Asleep At the Wheel, you had Lonestar who came back with a vengence with Richie [McDonald] being back in the band, just so much going on.
There was a great crowd, great day, it started off about 2:30pm, the football was next door!
Lots of people enjoyed themselves, great acts all the way from 2 o'clock.
Ali Isabella Interview
This is an edited version of an interview with Ali Isabella conducted by Lee Williams for CMR Nashville (Europe's #1 Country Internet Station) which was recorded in a Wembley hotel just 2 days before Ali performed at The International Festival of Country Music held at the nearby Wembley Arena on Sunday February 26, 2012!
Ali talks about her time in the UK and preparations ahead of her big day. They discuss her new single release "What If" which has been included on the promotional Hotdisc #159 (March 2012) and tracks from her brand new album SAY YOU'LL BE MINE.
Tracks played on the show include "What If", "Say You'll Be Mine", "So Free" and "New York City Country Girl"

3 ) Jim Duncan Wolverhampton Community Radio Review (Thurs, 1 Mar 2012)
Country Radio presenter and WOLVESTOCK festival promoter Jim Duncan and Steve Morris from the show "Roots And Branches" chat briefly about the festival on WCR FM 101.8 (Wolverhampton Community Radio) http://www.wcrfm.com/cmsms/
Steve Morris - So does this mean though if this is the Wembley Festival again, does this mean we will see the resurgence of the big and good country music festivals, some big acts coming across?
Jim Duncan – No
Steve Morris - Right, well that a short answer!
Jim Duncan – Quite frankly NO. It was a big festival, half of Wembley was sheeted off, it wasn't used. VERY UNDER SOLD.
Steve Morris - In a sense unless you've got a long memory Reba McEntire is not a name to excite a kind of mass festival going audience.
Jim Duncan – That's the big problem, it's been 20 years since the Wembley festival stopped and he [Mervyn Conn] went to start them again and he went back to all the old acts that he knew he, didn't ask anyone what the new current acts were….

A: This error is generated by Redshift and in most cases it is when your query uses a leader-node only function (such as generater_series() - there are a number of these).  Look at your select_query code and check if the functions called are valid on compute nodes (run the query in a workbench).  Happy to help if you post the query.  The issue is the SQL, not the code you posted.
The root of the issue is that leader node information is needed by the compute nodes during execution and this route isn't supported. There can be several causes for this and each has work-arounds.

This rare 50p coin is worth a lot more - and there's only 400 of them out there
Have you got one in your spare change?
It is not supposed to be in general circulation, but 400 of the rare 50p Peter Rabbit 2019 coin have now made it out into the public domain thanks to a PR stunt from The Great British Coin Hunt (Image: The Great British Coin Hunt)
People are being urged to check their change for the rarest 50p coin in Britain.
The Royal Mint has released a special edition 2019 Peter Rabbit coin.
It is not supposed to be in general circulation, but 400 of them have now made it out into the public domain thanks to a PR stunt from The Great British Coin Hunt.
If you buy on from the Royal Mint, it will set you back £10 - quite a profit from 50p!
And the Mint is also selling Silver Proof and Gold Proof versions for £65 and £795 respectively.
Money, money, money!
5 coins that could bag you a fortune
Alphabet 10p coins
£2, 50p, 20p, 2p coins worth LOT more
Most sought-after 50p coin
The Royal Mint says: "The Peter Rabbit 2019 coin is a commemorative only coin. These will not be entering general circulation."
But Kellie, one of the Great British Coin Hunt team, said: "We are circulating the 2019 Peter Rabbit. We're hoping we're going to get 40 volunteers to help us do this around the country."
In a video, Kellie pays for her parking with one of the coins at an unspecified location.
Loot in the loft - unlikely treasure in your own home could net you a small fortune
The team say they hope to have all the coins out by the end of the month.
Updates on the Great British Coin Hunt's circulation of the Peter Rabbit coins can be found on their YouTube Channel here.

2012 was the 6th year for Light Hands Horsemanship (LHH) and like previous years it sold out early. The world is learning that Light Hands Horsemanship is an unequaled opportunity to learn from some of the top clinicians in the world. It spanned the globe again this year with attendees from Canada, Australia, Hungary, Mexico, Denmark, UK, Switzerland, Austria and Scotland. People attended from 16 states as well. It is a small, intimate event that gives attendees the chance to meet and talk one-on-one with the presenters, ask their individual questions and learn how to improve their communication with their horse.
All the presenters at Light Hands Horsemanship are unique in their background, their techniques and their approach. But they are very consistent in their focus and goal of creating "lightness" in their horses. Lightness is the cornerstone if this event. It is what each presenter strives for from the first time they touch a horse through that horse's advanced training. Attendees are taught about creating lightness in horses from beginning work, introductory work, advanced work and the finishing stages.
Featured this year were presenters Dr. Robert Miller and Rick Lamb. Both gave lectures throughout the event. Eitan Beth-Halachmy, Richard Winters, Jon Ensign, Lester Buckley and Jack Brainard returned. Each of these presenters is very accomplished and more information about each can be found at lighthandshorsemanship.com and at their individual websites (links can be found on the LHH site). More importantly, each presenter at Light Hands Horsemanship is an excellent teacher. They all have an innate ability to explain a concept, point out subtleties in movement and horse behavior, to simplify the complex and all with a sense of humor and lots of entertainment.
There is no doubt people come to Light Hands Horsemanship each year to learn how to create lightness in their horse too. But there's more to the event than horses. There is a Museum of the Cowboy Tour and a tour of the Intrepid Museum Collection. Every day features Santa Maria Style BBQ with treats like Kobe burgers, oak grilled prime rib, white cheddar and sage popovers and endless popcorn, tea, water and coffee.
Tall Tales is now an annual event where the presenters share stories, tell jokes and have fun with each other and the audience. There was also a sing-a-long this year. Richard Winters does a Sunday morning service each year as well.
The 7th Annual Light Hands Horsemanship is already scheduled for May 30 – June 2, 2013. The past years have sold out early so keep a close eye on lighthandshorsemanship.com and spalding-labs.com for registration information.
Spalding Labs has sponsored Light Hands Horsemanship since the very first year. Through products like Fly Predators, Fly Traps and Bye Bye Odor, Spalding Labs provides the tools needed for healthier and happier horses. Through ongoing support of Light Hands Horsemanship, Spalding Labs provides the means to a healthier and happier relationship too.
