Diabetes Risk With Antipsychotic Medications May be Offset by Vitamin D
Rehab Articles
Antipsychotic medications often carry a high risk for the development of new onset diabetes, but a recent study has shown that taking vitamin D could lower this risk for those who take these drugs. Zyprexa, Seroquel, and other atypical antipsychotics are generally prescribed for disorders which are severe, including bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and even autism. Kyoto University researchers have determined that vitamin D could help people with these disorders who must take these drugs minimize their risk of new onset diabetes. According to Takuya Nagashima, the lead author of the study, "Interestingly, vitamin D on its own doesn't lower diabetes risk, but it certainly defends against the insulin-lowering effects of quetiapine. We clarified the molecular mechanisms of how quetiapine causes hyperglycaemia using datasets in a genomics data repository. Through this we found that quetiapine reduces the amount of a key enzyme called PI3K that gets produced. Vitamin D stops quetiapine from lowering PI3K production."
Shuji Kaneko was the lead researcher on the study about antipsychotic medications, diabetes, and vitamin E. According to Kaneko "We found that patients who had coincidentally been prescribed vitamin D with quetiapine were less likely to have hyperglycaemia. It's unusual for vitamin D to be prescribed with quetiapine because it is typically prescribed to treat osteoporosis; in fact, there were only 1232 cases in the world where vitamin D was prescribed with quetiapine. Data mining proved helpful in locating these cases. Databases like FAERS aren't just for making drug regulations; they have so much potential for side-effect relief using pre-existing drugs. There's a lot we can hope for from reverse translational research like this."

Q: Port configuration and automatic port change on Wakanda When I run a solution on Wakanda there is a port by default, for example 8102, but when I reload it the port changes to 8104. I would have liked to know where the port configuration is and this operation is done? In which file, or option? Because I look for it, but I can't find it.
Thanks in advance.

A: Update: I have confirmed that when accessed remotely (from another computer), the admin dashboard is only available via HTTPS at port 4433. :8080/admin is available on localhost only.
In order for it to work, the CORS settings need to be enabled for port 4433 as well:
HostIPAddress:4433  POST / GET / PUT / DELETE
Note: From your earlier comment it seems you have admin dashboard working on port 4433. FYI the server has an updated admin certificate, which will come out in next release. In case you have any problem with it, please wait and test with next release.
-------------------------Original Post-----------------------------------------
The admin port is set to 8080 by default. If you would like to change the default value of admin port (typically for deployment), it can be changed using Command Line/ Terminal option "--admin-port=[number]", for example:
"C:\Wakanda\Wakanda Server.exe" "C:\solutions\invoices.waSolution" "--adminport=8090"

Will change solution invoices's admin port to 8090.
You can find more options in the documentation.

Q: How do I fix a Delphi installation when "repair" doesn't work? I have lost many settings of the IDE, the IDE is not compiling, and other issues. I wanted to repair the installed product (Delphi XE2 Architect). But when I did this, the installer removed lots of files in the installation folder, even bds.exe.
I don't want to uninstall and reinstall.
I have also Delphi XE3 installed, and had the same problem, but I uninstalled it and installed it again, and now it's working.
How do I repair this?

A: If you have attempted a repair install without success then you only have one option left. Uninstall and reinstall.

A: The repair works fine, and shouldn't interfere with your XE3 install. If your IDE is broken to the point that you can't compile, a reinstall is probably the only way to fix it.  A repair or reinstall should also leave your third-party components installed, as it doesn't replace anything in the registry.
(This is really a vendor support question, BTW, and since it's related to installation you can open a free support case at Embarcadero Support. The question isn't really appropriate for StackOverflow.)

More patients are considering dental implants as solutions for tooth loss because of the numerous benefits associated with this treatment method. While any tooth in the mouth can be replaced by a dental implant, the patient must be a suitable candidate for implant placement.
The main factor that determines the long term success and maximum benefit of dental implants is the quality of bone at the implant site. During your evaluation, your periodontist will examine the implant site and take x-rays to make sure that you have enough bone to support osseointegration, which is the process in which the bone fuses with the titanium dental implant, leaving it as a fixture in the mouth.
Patients do lose bone following tooth loss, so if you delay consulting a periodontist about dental implant treatment, you may experience enough bone loss to present a possible obstacle to implant placement. This is more likely to occur with the rearmost teeth on the upper jaw, as the bone under the sinus floor is thinner in that vicinity and wears away more quickly. Additionally, congenital defects can cause bone deficits that could compromise osseointegration.
Even if you don't initially have enough bone to support a dental implant, that doesn't mean that you'll never qualify for this treatment. A preliminary bone graft can supplement the bone tissue in the area, allowing patients to pursue dental implant placement after healing from that procedure. Your periodontist can give you guidance about this aspect of your treatment.
Patients who choose dental implants following tooth loss gain improved functionality and comfort from this treatment option. Because the dental implant acts like an artificial tooth root, it is the only structurally complete tooth replacement. It allows the prosthetic tooth to participate more completely and naturally in chewing and speaking, as well as keeping the appliance more secure than a conventional bridge or denture would be.
Any tooth in the mouth can be replaced with a dental implant under the right conditions. To learn if your case is suitable for dental implant placement, schedule an evaluation with our team at BC Perio.

Discover and read the best of Twitter Threads about #factsonmadrasas
@tequieremos
If the wealth of people today is measured by what fancy cars they own then the Muslims from the period between the 8th and 13th Century would have their wealth measured by what they own in terms of books and manuscripts.
#FactsOnMadrasas
Whereas 95 percent of residents in West during Middle Ages did not know how to read or write, the Islamic state established thousands of schools (Madaras) spread amongst cities and villages to teach people Qur'ān, accounting, history, biology, mathematics and geography.
Following is a list where I've named key Islamic Scientists and related writers produced by Madrassahs from the 8th to the end of the 13th century. By placing each writer in a historical context, this will help us understand the influences and borrowing of ideas.

Education holds the key for empowerment of Indian Muslims. Madrasas are centre sof free education; they are the nucleus of cultural & educational lives of Muslims.
#FactsAboutMadrasas
The Madrasas are an invaluable instrument of traditional education but they've also played a vital role in spreading literacy amongst the down trodden segments of Muslim society.
Several Madrasa not only offer free education but also free boarding & lodging.Madrasas serve as a vehicle for articulating Islamic cultural heritage & universal values that are deeply embedded in the tradition, consciousness & identity of the Muslim community.

Q: Racing condition in linq query I have a race condition with the items query below. The select miIds.ItemId doesn't wait for the allItemList database call to finish returning all of it's results. What would be the best way to address the problem? Should I pull the query out of the task and wait for it to return before kicking off the query, or is there something I can do within my query to make it wait?
Thank you.
    private async Task LoadData()
    {
        // Query Mission_Item Ids.
        var missionItemsList = await App.Database.GetTableAsync<Mission_Items_Model>();
        var missionItemIds = from missionItem in missionItemsList
                             where missionItem.MissionId == game.CurrentMissionId
                             select missionItem;

        // Query All Items, select item where item's itemIds match mission's itemIds.
        var allItemList = await App.Database.GetTableAsync<ItemModel>();
        var items = from item in allItemList
                    let mi = (from miIds in missionItemIds where miIds.ItemId == item.Id select miIds.ItemId)
                    where mi.Contains(item.Id)
                    select item;

        // Item list for mission.
        ItemsList = new List<ItemModel>(items);

        ...

    }

A: Your problem is simple, it is resulting from the usage of var that hides that the query missionItemIds is not being enumerated. To cause that query to actually execute, you need to use a call that materialize the sequence (.ToList() for example):
var missionItemIds = (from missionItem in missionItemsList
                     where missionItem.MissionId == game.CurrentMissionId
                     select missionItem).ToList();

It seems that game.CurrentMissionId is changing by the time your actually materialize the results.

Q: Display search results dynamically as typing I am trying to build a SharePoint 2007 web part in Visual Studio.
This web part should search a sharepoint list and display the results.
What I want to accomplish is to display the results as soon as the user stops typing, so no clicking button involved.
Probably, a combination of text_changed event and onkeydown javascript?
Any thought would be great.
This sharepoint site is "Ajax-enabled", btw.
Thanks

A: I would suggest using jquery and keyup:
$("input#txtid").keyup(function () {
                if (this.value.length < 8)
                    return false;

                $.get("ServiceUrl", { arg: this.value }, function (result) { $("#output").html(result); });

            });

A: The easiest way to take care of the UI part is to use the AjaxToolkit AutoCompleteExtender se MOSS, AJAX and the AutoCompleteExtender then all you have to do is decide how you want the searching inside the web service to work

A: I approached this by using an UpdatePanel in my webpart. Then I added a Button (more on this later) and a TextBox to the UpdatePanel.
I also have a JavaScript class which handles all of the logic for submitting a query after the user has paused while typing their query. It contains the event handler for the onkeyup event which is attached to the TextBox:
t.Attributes.Add("onkeyup", "javascript:oSearchClass.KeyUpEventHandler(event);");
I used setTimeout and clearTimeout to handle when the class should call a SubmitQuery function.
When SubmitQuery() is called, it makes the TextBox read only (so the user can't type anything while it is querying) and then "clicks" the button using click(). Since you're using a normal Button, you can handle the Button.click event like normal to re-query the list and display results.
If you don't want your user to see the button, you can simply put it inside a span WebControl that is hidden.

A: Have a look at this sample, it adds 'search as you type' to the standard SharePoint search box.
Automatically add 'Search As You Type' to every SharePoint page using Infuser.

How Greece's Alexis Tsipras went from firebrand to statesman
by Kerin Hope
Alexis Tsipras, Nobel laureate? The idea being touted for Greece's prime minister by some of his senior officials might seem far-fetched. But Mr Tsipras can certainly expect international acclaim if, as expected, Greek MPs ratify a deal to end one of Europe's longest bilateral disputes.
In a knife-edge vote, Greece is poised to sign off on Thursday on a plan for its neighbour, officially the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, to change its name to "North Macedonia". Zoran Zaev, the Macedonian premier, has already won his parliament's approval for the arrangement, which satisfies Athens by dropping an implied claim on the Greek region of the same name. The deal is strongly backed by the EU and Nato, which want to bring Macedonia into the western orbit.
Even if the Nobel committee does not consider Mr Tsipras and his Macedonian counterpart, the 44-year-old Greek prime minister is barely recognisable as the leftwing firebrand who threatened to denounce Greece's eurozone bailout, ban German politicians from visiting Athens and pull the country out of the euro if its creditors rejected his demands for debt forgiveness.

Detalhes sobre Final Fantasy XV da Famitsu
As described on an IGNboards last week , Detalhes sobre Final Fantasy XV from Famitsu
The Meteor of Lestallum is as old as the story of Genesis 15. It's not something that Noctis and his friends will be exploring on their journey. After all, the existence of the meteorite has been around since the "beginning of time" so to speak.
Car radio
Installing a car radio: To catch up on "researching it". He thinks of two things: playing his MP3s and playing Final Fantasy/Square Enix theme music. There are legal problems with the first (playing your own MP3s). On the latter, a team is working on it. In Japan and the US, car radio is certainly possible, but European laws are strict, says Tabata. The pop theme would not fit in the game world, so this idea is not being explored either.
Moogles
Tabata: "When I asked about Moogles, there wasn't enough response from the [TGS] audience, so in the end we didn't add them (laughter)." Famitsu: There was quite a lot of applause… How about if you could provide RT figures and show the actual opinion of users? "I'll think again," says Tabata.
Final Fantasy's main theme Shimomura's arrangement is much requested. Tabata wants to hear it too. Other themes, such as the chocolate theme, are progressing well.
FFXV keeps track of what species of fish have been caught. You can catch fish up to a metre long. You can fish in lakes, but at the moment the mini-game does not allow you to fish in the sea. Tataba thinks it would be cool to be included in the game while in the boat. How successful you are at fishing does not depend on your skill level, but on how well you use the lure.
Buddy stuff
Prompto takes photos with his smartphone, and for some reason he wants to keep photos of himself and his buddies during the trip. Gladiolus has been a fan of Coleman and nature since he was a child and has since collected a number of Coleman artefacts. Gladiolus also loves fighting, so he studies techniques and skills. The skills he learns he applies to attacks involving his friends.
Riding a Shokobo
Battles can also start on a chocobo. However, you do not fight on a chocobo. If your chocobo doesn't want to fight when the fight starts, he will run away. A chocobo's stamina depends on what you feed it. Good food means chocobos will avoid enemies, while bad food will make them betray you. Because black chocobos are fierce, you can't necessarily ride them.

Benghazi Attacks, Political Theatre and Wild Speculations
Richard Sawyer
Wed, 24 Oct 2012 04:38 UTC
© Koterda
"The simplest explanation for some phenomenon is more likely to be accurate than more complicated explanations." Occam's razor
For those of us keeping up-to-date in the alternative-news-a-sphere, political theatre has become increasingly predictable. Events occur, tragedies happen, 'evil' scapegoats are blamed, politicians say craftily scripted words and the media exalts them. Innocent victims suffer and the general 'herd' are delivered top-ups of fear to maintain their terror-anxiety levels and faith in Governments to protect them from non-existential threats. This process has played out time and time again, especially over the last decade in the wake of 9/11, and remains effective on an ill-informed populace that is unaware the FBI organizes almost all terror plots in the US.
In the run-up to elections, terror-related popularity-boosting events are laid out for politicians to capitalise on. They are normally precise and clearly orchestrated. Take the recent case of the FBI foiling their own terror plot against the New York Fed. This is a classic tried and tested method of framing a patsy in order to perpetuate the myth of Islamic extremists for political gain. However, when a terror attack happens that causes confusion and finger-pointing amongst the political elite in the run-up to a presidential election, then clearly something is not quite 'optimal'.
Five weeks after the assault on the US consulate in Benghazi resulted in the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, the way that the Obama administration, intelligence services and media have reacted has been somewhat perplexing. No elected official has yet to reveal with certainty who led the attack, and at times, both the White House and the US State Department have provided completely different explanations for the assumed motives of the attackers.
What on earth is going on?
The apparent indecision, side-tracking and confusion in the White House has led to a great deal of speculation as to who was really behind these attacks and what purpose they serve. All I can say for certain is that the Obama administration is not in control and at the mercy of information coming to them from competing sources within the intelligence services. Mitt Romney's election campaign has not been particularly effective in capitalising on it. Was the Benghazi attack pre-planned? Was it politically motivated? Was it allowed to happen?
Let's take a look one-by-one at five theories circulating the net on who was behind the attacks:
1. Mossad-instigated at the request of Netanyahu in a bid to interfere with the U.S. election
2. Collaboration between the Neocons, Mitt Romney presidential campaigners and the CIA Mormon Mafia
3. Team Obama plotting a heroic voter-rousing rescue of a kidnapped Ambassador that went badly wrong
4. Libya's Green Resistance with NATO cover-up
5. Resistance fighters after documents containing names of Libyans who are working with Americans
1. Mossad
The Israeli intelligence services are frequently implicated in staged terror attacks. Gordon Duff's theory is that:
"The attacks against the US consulate in Benghazi were, we believe, stimulated, paid for and organized by Israel's Mossad and they had nothing to do [with the Libyan people]," he added.
"All that Netanyahu has managed to convince is he has convinced the people of the United States that he is attempting to interfere in our election; we resent it," Duff noted.
Given their track record, we can't rule out Israeli intervention in such events. However, would such an attack guarantee a Republican win at the polls? Does it really matter either way to Netanyahu? Recently both Obama and Romney provided the American Jewish Committee with pledges to isolate Iran and support Israel. With no fundamental difference between Obama and Romney when it comes to attacking Iran (or anything else for that matter), is Netanyahu really concerned who wins? Having said that, there could be something to Netanyahu preferring Romney's support and therefore Mossad involvement: It is publicly known that Romney is a 'personal friend' of the Israeli Prime Minister. The emotive 9/11 date of the attack and timing of the release of the CIA/Mossad/MI5 anti-Islam video seem more than coincidental.
2. CIA Mormon Mafia
Webster Tarpley lays the blame at the door of the Neocon supporters of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign and what he calls the 'CIA Mormon Mafia'. He cites a rather questionable UK Daily Mail article claiming the 'al Qaeda' attack ringleader was 'former' al-Qaeda terrorist Sufyan Ben Qumu, who was reportedly once Osama bin Laden's chauffeur. The Mail claims Qumo had been released from Guantanamo in 2007, turned over to Gaddafi on the condition that he be kept in prison, but was released in 2010 by Gaddafi to celebrate the dictator's 41st year in power. Tarpley then speculates:
Clearly, the likely way somebody like Qumu could be released from Guantanamo would be if he had become a double agent working for the CIA in the overthrow of Qaddafi. We therefore have a situation in which a reputed CIA asset has carried out the assassination of the US ambassador. The existence of a Mormon Mafia within the CIA interested in staging an October surprise to help Romney get elected may provide the key to explaining these phenomena.
In his research Tarpley does provide some very interesting connections and information on Romney's relationship with the Morman Church. However, given the average American voter's knowledge and interest in foreign policy, it seems a rather convoluted method to alter the course of a US election. An example of voter indifference over Benghazi is illustrated by this video targeting the ignorance of 'Obama' voters. One would expect Republican voters not to fare much better:
The indecision and apparent 'weakness' the Benghazi incident invoked in the Obama administration could be favouring the Romney campaign. However, if that was the intention wouldn't something a bit closer to home, and delivering much clearer impact, have been orchestrated?
3. Team Obama
As an example of the more ludicrous and unsubstantiated claims, another theory begins with 'a call from a someone high up in White House circles' from an 'impeach Obama' website. I include it here just to illustrate how distorted and speculative theories can become:
According to her [some anonymous high-up insider lady], Barack Obama, wanting an "October Surprise," had secretly arranged with the Muslim Brotherhood for a kidnapping of our ambassador. Then sometime in October before the election Obama was to orchestrate some great military action to rescue Ambassador Stevens, causing all of America to cheer Obama's strong foreign policy and bravery and making him look like a hero. After all, his supposed killing of Osama Bin Laden bounce had long since faded. Thus, sweeping him to victory in November. Imagine the headlines and talking points.
10 out of 10 for creativity, but this hypothesis would elevate Obama to criminal master-mind status. He can just about read a Teleprompter and make witty one liners on the Daily Show, but to pull off a stunt such as this seems rather far-fetched. This theory also requires us to believe that the winner of the US election is undecided until the votes are 'counted' and that Obama or Romney have to use dirty tricks to actually try and win. The sad truth, however, is that the US presidential elections are a charade and nothing more, and the decision as to who will 'win' has already been made.
As a side note, the Daily Show episode provides an excellent example of just how the election campaigns and complicit media stage-manage events. To counter claims of the contenders not doing enough to appeal to female voters - and not to be outdone by Romney announcing his 'binders full of women' - Obama starts off by introducing a crowd of 'woman warriors' who just happen to be in the audience by accident.
4. Libya's Green Resistance
Mark Robertson and Finian Cunningham present compelling evidence of the attack not being politically motivated at all. Instead it is just one in a long series of strikes by a strong resistance force that Western powers refuse to acknowledge for fear of bursting the illusion that their occupation of Libya is wanted by the Libyan people:
In reality, the Resistance has been increasingly active since shortly after the murder of Muammar Gaddafi in October 2011, as will be shown below. They strike any NATO target they can, and they execute key Libyans who betrayed Gaddafi and sided with NATO. The Benghazi incident was merely their latest blow against what they see as NATO's illegal occupation of their country.[...]
The most obvious explanation is that cadres - the Green Resistance - loyal to Gaddafi and in opposition to the NATO-imposed regime carried out the attack. NATO and its Libyan quislings don't want to admit this subversive reality. The fact of a resistance - a potent and growing resistance at that - has to be denied, erased from the record.
5. Stolen Documents
John Robles provides a corroborative reason to the previous theory with the addition of a key piece of information that has received little attention:
What really happened in Benghazi was the result of long-running US meddling in the affairs of sovereign nations and in particular in the Muslim world, an area they have shown time and time they have no clear understanding of and even less respect for. The attack in Benghazi was an attack on one of the CIA's largest operations in the region. This is clear from the fact that Steven's death was a secondary event in the attack on the compound. The attackers were after what was in the compound, not Stevens.
This was also underscored by the fact that over half of the US personnel evacuated from Benghazi were CIA, the sheer number of them surprising even to Libyan officials and the fact that a CIA safe house was also attacked at the same time.
The most conclusive evidence we have as to the nature of the attack was what was taken from the embassy compound. The UK's Independent reported that: "... missing papers from the consulate are said to list names of Libyans who are working with Americans... while some of the other documents are said to relate to oil contracts." The same article states that the US knew 48 hours before the attack that American missions could be attacked but failed to do anything about it.
Supporting evidence for the security failure was reported by the Daily Telegraph in this remarkable admission:
Sources have told the Daily Telegraph that just five unarmed locally hired Libyans were placed on duty at the compound on eight-hour shifts under a deal that fell outside the State Department's global security contracting system.
Blue Mountain, the Camarthen [Wales,UK] firm that won a $387,000 (£241,000) one year contract from the US State Department to protect the compound in May, sent just one British employee, recruited from the celebrity bodyguard circuit, to oversee the work.[...]
Other firms in the security industry expressed surprise that Blue Mountain had won a large, high profile contract from the US government. One industry executive said the level of service Blue Mountain provided did not appear adequate to the risks presented by a lawless city.
With such ineffective and seemingly deliberate security choices, one can't help wondering whether the attack was indeed intended to happen. But would the US really want important documents to fall into the hands of an anti-US resistance force?
Occam's (or Ockham's) razor is a principle attributed to the 14th century logician and Franciscan friar William of Ockham. Derivatives of the theory include that "in choosing between competing hypotheses, the one which makes the fewest assumptions should be selected" or "The simplest explanation for some phenomenon is more likely to be accurate than more complicated explanations."
Using that principle to select the simplest explanation, it would appear that a combination of 4 and 5 are most probable. The resistance force in Libya against the US-led NATO occupation is much stronger than Western powers would care to admit. Documents containing names of which Libyans are working with American occupiers and oil contracts would be highly valuable to those wishing to destabilise the occupying force. The Western mainstream media, a dubious video and political debates play their role in spreading confusion and disinformation to cover-up continued anger over the mass-murder of innocent civilians with 'humanitarian' bombing campaigns.
However, in global geo-politics the simplest theory is not always the correct one. The waters muddy with competing imperialistic ideologies, political allegiances and corporate interests, such as security contractors vying for lucrative contracts,
Debate charade and non-election
The problem theories 1, 2 and 3 have is that in each case they assume that foreign policy is a decisive factor for voters in US elections. It isn't, not by a long shot. Voters are generally far more concerned about the economy, whether they have a job or not and to some where candidates stand on same-sex marriages. If Benghazi was going to be the deal-breaker for Romney, wouldn't he have been primed a little more thoroughly on what to say in the televised debates to captitalise on this? If Netanyahu, the Neocons or a 'CIA Mormon Mafia' were using this event to promote Romney, then wouldn't they have told him what to say?

The next president may just as well be 'Big Bird'
Judging by the way the debate charade concluded, it seems that all the Benghazi attack has accomplished is to provide candidates with something to talk about and has assisted in perpetuating the illusion that there is any difference between them. Whoever gets elected will surround themselves with their cronies while US taxpayers continue to see their wealth redistributed, not to social programs in support of the general welfare, but to competing in-favour companies who have sent them the largest campaign donations. The largest corporate entities, such as the banks, financially support both sides and care not whether they are red or blue. The financial elite will continue their imperialistic expansions, covert wars of regime change and overt military attacks regardless of which puppet gets to call himself the commander-in-chief. The next president may just as well be 'Big Bird' for all the influence and power he will wield to change anything other than inconsequential issues.
The tactic of dividing voters on trivial issues hasn't changed since the Bankers' Manifesto of 1892 was written:
History repeats itself in regular cycles. This truth is well known among our principal men who are engaged in forming an imperialism of the world. While they are doing this, the people must be kept in a state of political antagonism.[...]
By thus dividing voters, we can get them to expand their energies in fighting over questions of no importance to us, except as teachers to the common herd. Thus, by discrete action, we can secure all that has been so generously planned and successfully accomplished."
Perhaps we will never know exactly what happened in Benghazi and the reasons behind it. There isn't much hope for a Senate-led investigation providing the answers. Events such as these do, however, provide insight into how little control our elected officials have in a world dominated by unaccountable intelligence agencies operating at the bequest of corporate behemoths in oil, finance and military. Ultimately, politicians have little say in the direction of US foreign policy, which has been controlled by a wealthy financial elite comprising a shadow government for centuries. While Americans sit glued to their TV screens watching so-called leaders arguing in live televised 'debates', they are kept oblivious to events that will have far greater impact on their lives, such as the increasing signs of a celestial threat to humanity, arising from the increasing number of invading meteorites/comet fragments and a coming collapse of the global food supply.
Instead they are treated to a circus of distraction that cares nothing for the lives lost in maintaining the illusion of the American Dream.

Occam's razor.
The versions cited are not the only ones.
"We consider it a good principle to explain the phenomena by the simplest hypothesis possible." - Ptolemy. This quote predates Occam.
I also like the version that counts the number of assumptions required.
But, as mentioned, this may not even be a good way to judge these theories.
In my work in the design and repair of electronics equipment, I use the following dictum: "The truth is the idea, that when acted upon, produces the desired result." This is called the "workability" test.
The problem with all these theories, to a great extent, is that you can't test them. They could all, therefore, be nothing more than creations of a propaganda machine. It could even be the SAME machine producing all these different ideas.
We are left with logic and deductive reasoning; weak tools for these purposes.
But the reports concerning Benghazi now point to a "well-planned coordinated attack."
That means the attack had to be carried out by a group that:
1) Is trained to do such things. (Military or para-military.)
2) Had access to data needed for the planning. (Suggesting insider involvement.)
3) Had access to the resources (men, vehicles and weapons) necessary to implement the plan. (Suggesting financial and logistic strength.)
I go with the "Mossad" idea.
This is partly because I don't agree with the assumptions that are made to argue against that theory.
1) Mossad = Israeli. Seems like an "obvious" identity, but is it really? Does every action attributable to the CIA really represent "American" political intentions?
The intelligence community (IC) commands resources that a lot of people would like access to. And I see NO evidence that it has successfully secured those resources. None whatsoever. So when someone "wants something done" they contact "their people" in the IC and arrange it. The IC usually has access to ordinary criminals as well as special-purpose mercenaries, so there are a lot of options in how a given operation is actually manned up and run.
2) Netanyahu can tell Mossad what to do. Really? The same way the President "runs" the CIA? If that were the case, how could any CIA resources have been made available to the people who wanted to kill JKF?
Being the public "leader" does not make you the head honcho. It makes you the front man, the propagandist, and if need be, the fall guy. Such positions have prestige and prerogatives. But there's no way they call all the shots. No way.
It's not that a President, a Chancellor, a Prime Minister, a Prince, a Sultan, or a King cannot leave his (or her) mark on the world. It's just that there are other players in the game. They have names (I suppose) but they aren't public figures and there are probably only about 100 people on the planet who know for sure who the top people are. And we have no way of knowing which 100 people that is. You gain the status of "top dog" in these circles, apparently, by garnering the ability to threaten death for non-compliance and making that threat stick 100% of the time. And only a certain number of people on this planet would even aspire to such a position. I imagine any that do then discover they can't stomach it either quietly retire or otherwise vanish from the scene.
Yes, I'd like to know who these guys are and what the hell they think they are accomplishing on this planet. I'd like to stop them. But it's more realistic to aspire to protecting myself against them spiritually. That is plenty difficult enough.

There's a lot going on during the holiday season. You're busy buying gifts, making plans to visit loved ones or arranging to take time off. Perhaps all of the above. It may be that the last thing on your mind right now is hunting for a new job – after all, wouldn't it be better to leave that for the New Year once the 'December madness' has settled down? Maybe not. Let us tell you why the end of the year might just be the right time for you to make a fresh start.
Why should I be looking for work now?
Last year around this time, we released a blog titled 'December, The Best Time to Hire'. This blog encouraged companies and employers to continue hiring throughout December for several key reasons. If you're an employer considering hiring this month, check out that blog here.
One of the most salient points in that blog post was that we experienced a 60% increase in applications in December of 2017 compared to the following January. This a trend that appears to be continuing, and there may be good reasons for this. Take a look at this data supplied by LinkedIn.
This graph shows us a couple of things. Note that this is showing job changes, not applications submitted.
Firstly, people typically don't change jobs in December but when it comes to January, there's a huge spike of people switching roles. The reason for this is because job seekers are increasingly setting the 'wheels in motion' at the end of the year. In terms of approaching a recruitment consultancy such as Technical Recruitment Solutions, you'd do well to make contact in December and let us start setting you up with opportunities if you're looking to change jobs early next year.
January is clearly a busy month for recruiters. If you're only putting yourself out there in January, there's going to be a lot of other job seekers that we have to help as well so the process could take longer. Getting in early lets us put your name in front of companies before the January rush and therefore means you're going to be among the first that our clients consider when they return from their holiday breaks.
Data aside, why else might I want to start speaking to recruiters now?
The main reason why you'd want to be job searching now is that the holiday season draws the focus of many people in December – meaning you'll face less competition!
Seeing as the end of the year is when people often think about moving jobs, a lot of vacancies do open up around this time. Some sites online will tell you that recruitment offices tend to get quieter towards the end of the year, but don't take this at face value for every firm. The phones here are very much still in constant use.
Following on from the point above, many organisations with these end-of-year vacancies tend to want to fill them in time for the New Year. If a recruiter knows a company that's looking to fill a recently vacated position in December, you may find that the process moves very quickly.
Don't think for a second that you can't find a job this close to the holiday season – you'd be surprised how many employers are coming to us asking for assistance.
Okay, I'm sold. If I'm after a technical role, what do I do now?
Email us at wellington@trs.co.nz and tell us what you're after and make sure to include a CV and cover letter.
Using the CV Drop page on our website will achieve the above as well, letting us pass your CV on to the relevant team.
Check out our current vacancies here, and apply for the one that best suits you. Our specialist consultants will be in touch.
You can also call us directly on 0800 171 000 and discuss your requirements with a consultant, any time between 8.30am and 5pm weekdays.
Happy December from all of us here at Technical Recruitment Solutions, and all the best for the last month of the year!

Chicago Bears Legend Studied Medicine During NFL Career
Author: Jackson Michael Published on: December 20, 2021 Published in: Podcast Notes
The Game Before the Money Podcast takes a look at Bill McColl playing for George Halas and the Chicago Bears of the 1950s while enrolled in medical school in Episode 55.
Bill McColl Stanford Football and Med School
Bill McColl had many college offers and ultimately chose to attend Stanford on a football scholarship. He was very serious about his studies and wanted to become a doctor. McColl chose to focus on football and his education more than the social aspects of college.
The NCAA didn't allow freshmen to play varsity football at the time, but McColl immediately jumped into Stanford's starting lineup as a sophomore under head coach Marchy Schwartz, in 1949. McColl played both offense and defense for Stanford. Prior to the 1949 season, The Santa Cruz Sentinel called Bill McColl "One of the cleverest pass catchers to trod the sod this way in recent years."
McColl played a major role on Stanford's 1951 football team that played in the 1952 Rose Bowl.
Getting Drafted by the Chicago Bears
McColl was enrolled in pre-med at Stanford, and he was already a first-year med student after his senior season ended. Mccoll said he let NFL teams know that, and George Halas of the Chicago Bears understood. Halas selected McColl in the third round of the 1952 NFL Draft.
McColl said, "I wrote everybody and told them that I wasn't going to play football unless I could keep up my medical studies, and Halas was the only one who accepted that. He called me and said, 'You know, I think we can work it out.'"
McColl says that George Halas kept his word. He allowed McColl to prioritize his medical studies amidst his NFL career.
George Halas Keeps His Word
McColl told me what he told George Halas: "When I signed my contract with Halas, I said if medicine and football ever conflicted I'd have to be able to stick with the medicine. And so he said yes. I missed a lot of meetings and so forth. But one time, just before we were going to play the Rams, he said, "No, it's really important to come (to the meeting) because we're playing the Rams the next week.' I said, 'But George, you promised.'
"And he said, 'Yes, I did. You don't have to come.'"
More Chicago Bears Legends Had Med School Agreements
Dan Fortmann had a similar arrangement with Halas and the Bears. Fortmann also graduated from the University of Chicago's Medical School. A 1943 article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that Fortmann had played the 1943 season while he was a doctor in residence at Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh. Fortmann missed football practice during the week and flew to play games for the Chicago Bears on Sundays.
Halas also worked out an agreement with John Siegal to attend dental school at Northwestern during the 1940s.
Some of the Monsters of the Midway were also the medical practitioners of the Midway!
Bill McColl Retires from Football
The 1959 season was Bill McColl's eighth and final season in the NFL. He played sparingly in his final season and retired from pro football to practice medicine after finishing med school and his orthopedic residency. After retiring from football, Dr. McColl went to Korea to do missionary work as a doctor.
"Once I finished my education, I decided to spend two years over in Korea just after the Korean War, as a medical missionary of the Presbyterian Church. I did a lot of work with leprosy, which was one of the problems in Korea. I was also working in a hospital, a general hospital. Then there (also) was a special children's hospital and I did orthopedics, did operations, and so forth."
His Son Followed in His Footsteps
Another interesting fact about Dr. McColl is that one of his sons also played football at Stanford and in the NFL — and he also became a doctor. Milt McColl played linebacker for Stanford, and according to sports-reference.com, he played in 11 games in both the 1979 and 1980 seasons. He then played for the San Francisco 49ers, under Bill Walsh.
Bill McColl said, "He (Milt McColl) got accepted into Stanford Medical School the same week that he made the 49ers."
Now that is one heck of a week! Even better for Milt, the 49ers won the Super Bowl during rookie season. Milt McColl won two Super Bowls with San Francisco. He also played one season with the Raiders.
Like his father, Milt McColl balanced med school with playing in the NFL. Both Bill McColl and Milt McColl played eight seasons in the NFL.

Soul Purpose Designs Creates Mind-Blowing Custom Shoes Inspired by Rock Guitars and Comic Heroes
Kevin Ott
Louis Blaut, the founder of custom apparel company Soul Purpose Designs ("Kicks with Character"), clearly puts a lot of love into his custom shoes.
His four new custom shoe designs, for example–"The Ax" (inspired by a Gibson guitar), "The Etheria" (inspired by '80s superhero She-Ra), "The Mischief" (inspired by Disney's Maleficent), and "The Prince" (inspired by Aladdin's turban from Disney's "Aladdin")–are dedicated to his brother and three sisters.
(They must be one seriously cool, stylish family.)
But the love doesn't stop there. As he explains: "Soul Purpose Designs was built on a love for the arts and a desire to give back to the arts community."
Along that course, Soul Purpose Designs has pledged a portion of its profits to superb arts education organizations and has committed to manufacturing their products under fair trade certification guidelines.
While it's not unusual for companies like this to give back to their community, the one-of-a-kind products coming out of Soul Purpose Designs are not only improving lives, they're turning heads and dropping jaws.
And if you're a shoe lover–especially someone who loves creativity and comic book/film culture–your jaw will quickly drop when you see their latest creations.
Four Custom Kicks That Will Make Shoe Lovers Drool
One thing that's especially impressive about Soul Purpose Designs is their commitment to brainstorming concepts, as Louis explains: "We spent 365 days on 365 designs with a goal of creating unique wearable sneaker art inspired by Hip-Hop, pop culture, comic books, and cartoons of the 80's, 90's and beyond, as well as iconic objects like guitars, hot air balloons, and super cars."
With such a deep appreciation for pop culture and aesthetic variety, it's no wonder Soul Purpose came up with these unique shoe concepts:
1. The Ax
Soul Purpose's founder, Louis Blaut, learned to play guitar on a Gibson six-string. It's only fitting then that this shoe, appropriately named "The Ax," is modeled after the look of that rock guitar. It has:
Whiskey leather upper with embossed teardrop
Elastic guitar strings
Leather and elastic strap with actual fret bars
A heel tab with real guitar tuning pegs that will, as their Kickstarter page says, "Keep your step in 'tune.'"
The shoe is made in tribute to Louis's brother Scott, which adds a nice heart-warming touch to the shoe's backstory.

2. The Etheria
She-Ra, the glorious '80s Princess of Power, is given the star treatment in this shoe with design features all centered around her awesomeness (and in tribute to her famous tiara):
A gold molded leather heal tab
Royal blue lining
A gold leather and elastic strap
A ruby jewel
(Louis dedicated this shoe to his oldest sister Josephine.)

3. The Mischief
Maleficent, thanks in part to Angelina Jolie's semi-recent live-action incarnation of the classic Disney villain, has become prominent in recent pop culture. "The Mischief" promises to add even more intrigue to the legend of Disney's favorite witch:
Maleficent-shaded plush green suede
Red suede and lining
Smooth black leather with 3M piping for flash
(Louis dedicated this shoe to his middle sister Samantha.)

4. The Prince
Soul Purpose even delves into some serious '90s nostalgia with "The Prince." This shoe, if you can believe it, draws its design features from the turban worn by Aladdin in Disney's '90s classic "Aladdin."
And it works.
This "regal sneaker," as the company calls it, has:
A vacuum formed satin heal tab
Gold basket weave
Royal blue suede
Jeweled accents for shine
A feather to keep it "fly"
If this doesn't make you want to sing "A Whole New World," then nothing will.
(Louis dedicated this shoe design to his youngest sister Toniann.)

Soul Purpose Designs: Hip-Hop Apparel With a Positive Twist
Soul Purpose also has some unique accompanying apparel, including styles inspired by common Hip-Hop vernacular infused with positive messages.
With a clever use of acronyms, their H.Y.P.E. style is a great example. From their Kickstarter page:
H.Y.P.E. – Help Your People Excel shirts are inspired by the Dougie Fresh – the ultimate HypeMan. Like the others in the series, it was created using Hip-Hop culture's tradition of using Acronyms as word play with a custom graffiti style font. #FindYourSoulPurpose no matter what stands in your way. Made with 100% cotton triple stitched for durability and comfort.

One-of-a-Kind Fashion for Good Causes
What makes Soul Purpose feel authentic and made with love, however, is its diligent commitment to the arts and to giving back to the community. In fact, 15% of all profits will go to support arts education through:
Materials for the Arts
Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning
Urban Arts Partnership
All three organizations are doing exceptional work. Materials for the Arts, for example, are doing this amazing mission in New York City:
[Materials for the Arts] collects a wide variety of reusable materials from businesses and individuals and make them available for free to nonprofits and civic organizations with arts programming and public schools. By providing a way for people to donate their unneeded supplies to thousands of creative and educational activities across the five boroughs, MFTA diverts over 1 million pounds of materials from the landfill each year.
Soul Purpose's Kickstarter Campaign: Grab Your Own Pair of Custom Shoes
If you're eager to try on a pair of Soul Purpose sneakers, you can join their Kickstarter campaign. (And you better do it fast as it ends in two weeks, Saturday, April 8.) After the campaign ends and the development and production stages are completed, incentives and shoes will be delivered beginning September 2017.
The incentives of their campaign range from one-of-a-kind logo sticker packs to shoes custom-made for you. At the next to highest level of backing, Soul Purpose will actually make a custom version of a shoe design just for you that will never be made available to the public.
Of course, at the highest level–the top incentive–you can actually fly out to NYC, meet Louis the founder of Soul Purpose, collaborate with him on a new shoe design, and receive a custom pair made just for you. At that point, your shoes will be so rare that you might be tempted to put them in a display case instead of wearing them.
If my enthusiasm is boiling over too much in this article, I won't apologize for that because, frankly, companies (and sneakers) like Soul Purpose don't come around every day. When they do, it's worth trying them on–especially if they happen to be shoes inspired by a rock guitar.

Our predominately white Unitarian Universalist (UU) denomination has challenged its members to recognize and confront systemic racism and white supremacy in our society, our denomination, our churches, and ourselves. For UUs who are white, it can be difficult to acknowledge white privilege, white fragility, anti-blackness, and other common white racial patterns that prevent us all from reaching racial equity.
Also this Sunday, we Share The Plate with The Rose of Sharon Soup Kitchen and Thrift Store. For more about the program, see the article below.
We continue our Summer RE program MORSE CODE BRACELETS and LEGO, with le ad ers Sarah Kinley and Jennifer Garlen and helpe rs Erin Reid and Cate Sparks. The Sunday Supervisor is Heather Kyemba.

Whether you know how to sing or would like to learn, we would love for you to join us!

There were many others however for the sake of this article, we'll concentrate on those who played those role with the Cowboys
"I would say that all those guys that haven't been playing a lot that were forced to play competed well," coach Brian Dabollsaid on Friday
"They performed well. There are definitely areas we could improve upon however, these guys played with a lot of intensity."
Beginning with the secondary players starting with the secondary, here's how Pro Football Focus has to say regarding the performance of the substitutes.
