AIPH partners with 8 80 Cities in support of the world's first Global "Living Green" Awards
Phoenix Park - courtesy Irish Air Corps
The International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) is proud to announce their partnership with 8 80 Cities in support of the AIPH World Green City Awards.
Enhancing public space for the wellbeing of all urban residents is a common vision shared by both AIPH and 8 80 Cities. There is arguably no better way to enhance the public realm than by bringing plants and nature back into the everyday lives of urban citizens through the implementation of nature-based solutions and urban greening initiatives. Urban green spaces have the potential to significantly contribute to the building of healthy and cohesive urban communities and ensuring that our cities are resilient to the many shocks that we are increasingly projected to face. It is increasingly recognised that plants and nature play a critical role in enhancing the quality of life of urban residents. This partnership aligns the visions of both AIPH and 8 80 Cities in order to enable transformative action and accelerate the transition to greener, healthier, and more liveable cities.
"At AIPH, our ethos is one where partnerships are central to the success of our various programme areas. 8 80 Cities brings a wealth of expertise to the network of supporting partners for the AIPH World Green City Awards. We are thrilled to be working together to demonstrate best practice in greening urban public spaces in the hope of inspiring accelerated action by cities in the coming decade,"- Mr. Tim Briercliffe, Secretary General, AIPH
The AIPH World Green City Awards seek to recognise public initiatives relying on a greater use of plants and nature to create better city environments – helping to fulfil local aspirations for improved economic, social and environmental resilience. The awards celebrate innovation, achievement, and commitment to the globally recognised imperative to embrace nature-based solutions that harvest the power of plants and associated ecosystems services to help address the major challenges facing cities today – or tomorrow. With support from 8 80 Cities, the AIPH World Green City Awards will be strengthened and enhanced in terms of their capacity to attract local government leaders and invite high-quality entries from leading cities who are committed to taking action to harness the benefits of "living green."
"We're excited to support and partner with AIPH to amplify and highlight the importance of urban nature, plant life, and greenspace in creating healthier and more livable communities for all."- Amanda O'Rourke, Executive Director, 8 80 Cities
AIPH has, since 1948, united horticultural producers in an international community that thrives to this day. AIPH, as the world's champion for the power of plants, supports the work of their grower associations globally and together they champion a prosperous industry, growing plants that enhance lives, advance societies, and sustain our planet for this generation and the next. AIPH strives to reignite and uphold an appreciation of plants that they believe is a basic human instinct.
AIPH leads global thinking on the successful integration of nature into the built environment. The AIPH Green City programme promotes awareness of the urgent need for urban greening. Plants and nature form the foundation on which our increasingly urban lives depend. Through its Green City programme, AIPH advocates for the essential role of plants in creating vibrant urban areas and aim to develop an international standard for green cities as well as being a focal point for green city best practice and a source of expertise.
8 80 Cities is a non-profit organization which brings citizens together to enhance mobility and public space so that together they can create more vibrant, healthy, and equitable communities. 8 80 Cities if founded on the belief that if everything they do in our cities is great for an 8 year old and an 80 year old, then it will be great for all people. Thus, 8 80 Cities' vision is to create safe and happy cities that prioritize all people's well-being.
The goal of 8 80 Cities is to help create resilient communities where people are actively engaged and fairly represented in their city, while acknowledging that in order to do this they need to involve as many perspectives as possible in the process of city building. 8 80 Cities recognises that changing cities starts by harnessing exceptional new ideas and taking action. 8 80 Cities collaborates for impact and seeks to co-develop meaningful partnerships with diverse organizations looking to improve the quality of life in their community.
"We are excited to see 8 80 Cities come on board as a supporting partner for the inaugural edition of the AIPH World Green City Awards. Harnessing the power of plants in the urban context is perfectly suitable for 8 year olds and 80 year olds, and everyone around them in cities."- Dr. Audrey Timm, Technical Advisor, AIPH
As AIPH and 8 80 Cities come together to jointly support the ambitious actions of cities for nature, both organisations acknowledge the power of partnerships and the value in collaboration. By harnessing this power, they seek to inspire city authorities to transform urban areas for the benefit of plants, nature, humans, and ultimately the planet. This partnership lays the foundation for enhancing the potential of the AIPH World Green City Awards and paves the way for sustained collaboration in the future.
Does your city have a bold vision of being greener, healthier, and more liveable? Are you implementing urban nature-based solutions to enhance the public realm and build the resilience of your city in response to the growing urban challenges our urban areas face?

Students sue Creighton University over COVID vaccine mandate
The Jesuit-run university in Nebraska has a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy, which does not allow exemptions for sincerely held religious beliefs.

Four Creighton University students have sued the Jesuit-run university for its mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy, which does not allow exemptions for sincerely held religious beliefs. One of the students, the president of Creighton Students for Life, said she was expelled for refusing to take the shots.
The four students — Lauren Ramaekers, Patrice Quadrel, Sarah Sinsel and Jane Doe — filed suit Sept. 8 in District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska. Creighton's main campus is in Omaha. The women are seeking an injunction preventing the university from "un-enrolling" them for not taking the shots. Creighton policy requires proof of vaccination for all students, but not for staff. The students' legal filing asks for an expedited hearing on the matter.
"Many students and parents are disturbed that a religious institution is not allowing religious exemptions," said attorney Robert M. Sullivan of Wahoo, Neb., who represents the students. "The students suing Creighton have deeply and sincerely held opposition to the vaccine based on their religious beliefs."
Sullivan sent a letter to Creighton President Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson S.J. on Sept. 2, asking the school to make accommodations for his clients. Sullivan said he received no reply. "I must express the hope that instead of a summary denial, you can help these students continue their education at your institution, without forcing them to violate their own consciences, and without the unpleasant litigation which would follow," Sullivan stated in the letter.
Ramaekers, who said she was scheduled to graduate in December 2021, was informed Sept. 9 that she was expelled from fall classes as of 7:30 a.m. Sept. 10. A letter from Tanya Winegard, Creighton vice provost for student life, informed Ramaekers she is banned from the campus and barred from registering for future courses. Fall classes at the 9,000-student university began Aug. 18.
"Creighton University communicated to you that vaccination documentation of your first vaccine dose must be submitted by Sept. 7, 2021," Winegard wrote. "Student Health Education and Compliance (SHEC) records indicate that you have not submitted the required documentation. Therefore, you are in violation of the Creighton University Standards of Conduct."
The university announced a policy on July 7 requiring all students get the COVID shots. It offered a medical exemption and a temporary exemption while the shots were under emergency-use authorization from the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). No religious exemption was allowed.
Ramaekers was given a temporary exemption, a document that required her to get the vaccine once the FDA approved the shots. On Aug. 23, the FDA gave approval to the COVID-19 shot from Pfizer/BioNTech, which will be marketed under the name Comirnaty. The drug had been available since December 2020 under an FDA emergency-use authorization. The shots contain messenger RNA, a type of genetic material, to force the body to make a mimic of one of the proteins in the virus that causes COVID-19. On Aug. 31, Creighton reported that 93 percent of students were vaccinated against COVID.
In an affidavit, Ramaekers said as a Catholic, she finds "abhorrent" the use of fetal tissue, fetal cells or any product of abortion in the development or testing of a vaccine. "As part of my faith, I believe that abortion is an intrinsic evil, which must be avoided at all times and in all circumstances," she wrote. "Even remote cooperation with abortion would violate my conscience, as I believe human life is sacred and that only God has the authority to determine when a life will begin and when it will end."
A report from the Charlotte Lozier Institute said of the mRNA COVID vaccines developed under emergency authorization in the United States, those from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna used cell lines derived from abortions in some of the confirmatory lab testing. United States bishops have said those shots are morally permissible because of the remoteness of material cooperation in the evil of abortion. Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca used abortion-derived cell lines in their vaccine development and/or production, something much more morally problematic for Catholics.
Both Sinsel and Quadrel cited their opposition to abortion and its ties to the vaccine industry in the court filings. Sinsel identified herself as Catholic, while Quadrel said she is a Christian. Sinsel has completed 97 credits of coursework at Creighton, while Quadrel said she was scheduled to graduate from Creighton's dental school in May 2022.
The suit cited guidance from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), which said in a Dec. 21, 2020 document that "vaccination is not, as a rule, a moral obligation" and therefore "it must be voluntary." The CDF document said if no "ethically irreproachable" vaccines are available, it is morally acceptable to receive vaccines that used cells lines from aborted children in research or production. Receiving vaccines in this circumstance "does not constitute formal cooperation with the abortion…"
The Creighton case is the latest indicator of the clash between COVID-19 regulations and religious liberties. A federal judge in Kalamazoo, Mich., issued a preliminary injunction against Western Michigan University and its policy requiring student athletes to get the COVID-19 jab. Sixteen Christian Western Michigan athletes sued the university for denying their petitions for religious exemption from the vaccine mandate.
United States bishops have provided disparate guidance on COVID-19 shots. The five bishops of Wisconsin issued guidance in August that said, "Nobody should violate the sanctity of conscience by forcing a person to do something contrary to his or her conscience." The bishops of Colorado and South Dakota issued similar statements. Bishop Joseph E. Strickland of Tyler, Texas, condemned mandatory-vaccination edicts and said he will not take the COVID shots, no matter what mandates come along.
"I'm not going to take a vaccine that I believe is wrong," Bishop Strickland said Sept. 9 on his radio program. He said people should have a well-informed conscience on the issues, but it is critical that no coercion be used with vaccines.
"Everyone should have the freedom to do that, to use their free will," Strickland said. "If we enter into in any aspect of society where free will is taken away and mandates are just blanket, then we've lost something very important. More important than any specific vaccine or any specific question. We must stand for free will."
Strickland said society must demand that the pharmaceutical industry develop ethical vaccines that don't use the bodies of murdered children. "Aborted children have not just been aborted and slaughtered in the womb, but their bodies have been used over and over again and continue to be used for scientific research of all kinds," he said. "We've got to say, 'No.' "
A former deputy director of the federal Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights decried the COVID vaccine mandates issued by President Joe Biden. "Coercing individuals into making a medical intervention is unjust," said Louis Brown, now executive director of the Christ Medicus Foundation, in an interview with Catholic News Agency. "And a vaccine mandate that could cause millions of Americans to lose their jobs, to be excluded from large swathes of civil society – to become, effectively, second-class citizens – seriously undermines the principle of human dignity and the civil rights foundations of America."
On the issue's other extreme, Cardinal Blase Cupich said that all clergy and employees of the Archdiocese of Chicago must get the COVID shots. He instructed his priests not to issue religious-exemption letters to those requesting them.
Marquette University in Milwaukee, another Jesuit college, has a vaccine requirement for students, but it offers religious, medical and personal-conviction exemptions. Those who don't vaccinate under exemptions must undergo regular COVID screenings and observe all of Marquette's other mitigation protocols, according to the college's web site. Marquette reported 92 percent of students enrolled for the fall semester are fully vaccinated against COVID.
In his letter to Creighton President Hendrickson, attorney Sullivan said the lack of clarity from Church leaders does not mean vaccine mandates with no exceptions are legal. "…While the faithful are forced to discern many matters without unified clarity from the Church and in this case, the medical experts, we can still look to civil law, which prohibits discrimination based on a disability or a religious belief," Sullivan wrote, "and affords all of us equal protection under the law."

The governor in FL recently commented that vaccine mandates are unscientific, ineffective and fundamentally wrong.
On a campus with mostly young people that seems to ring especially true, moral issues with using sacrificial lambs for society's benefit aside.
Donna Jorgenson Farrell
Jesuits not allowing for religious exemptions from the morally compromised vaccines is regrettably not surprising. Many of their members (James Martin, notably) don't support Catholic teaching. I applaud the strength of conscience of the students suing Creighton for attempting to coerce them into violating their consciences. Until there is a morally acceptable vaccine, I will gladly be classified a second class citizen of the United States, because I refuse to support, even implicitly, the immoral medical research using human fetal cells going forward. Second class here. First class in eternity.
Gilberta
Interesting that vaccination is forced on students but not on staff.
Gary Lockhart
The Society of Jesus needs to be suppressed once again as Clement XIV did in July of 1773 and this time it should be permanent.
This should also be a "suit" under Canon Law
I have a heard time believing the objection to the use of the aborted fetal cells is in many cases the only strong motivation to staunchly resist the shots. The reason I say this is because unless we are willing to go off grid altogether we cannot but help drinking gallons of material cooperation in abortion and many other grave evils which contravene Catholic teaching. In short all of us, including vaccine objectors, are regularly materially cooperating in abortion or deriving some good or pleasure from products made in connection with these cells.
This does not mean we should never take a stand against material cooperation or forego a benefit from a product that has contact with evil. But if these people are willing to materially cooperate in evils in several areas of their lives which they could easily change through a boycott but don't then how am I to believe their claim that the aborted fetal cells are the sole or chief motivation in this vaccine boycott? So it seems to me there are other motives at play.
Charles Urban
Well, Timothy, it's a strong enough motivation for me (and millions of others) to avoid a tainted vax–whether made so by research, development or production. Beyond this current issue, can you cite actual examples of this alleged "cooperation" in terms of goods/pleasures?
Yes. I know someone who is firm in their opposition to vaccines and Starbucks on account of material connections to abortion. However, she is willing to buy from Starbucks at least on occasion. Many people who are taking this stance against the shots have iPhones, Facebook/Twitter accounts, IRA portfolios invested in Big Pharma, pay taxes, drink coke, shop Amazon, etc. etc. And I have read that these cells are used in the development and testing of many familiar products.

Computer Sims: A Better Nanoscience Tool?
Taking issue with the perception that computer models lack realism, a Sandia National Laboratories researcher told his audience that simulations of the nanoscale provide researchers more detailed results – not less – than experiments alone.
Fang derided the pejorative "garbage in, garbage out" description of computer modeling – the belief that inputs for computer simulations are so generic that outcomes fail to generate the unexpected details found only by actual experiment.
No one denies that experiments are as important as simulations – "equal partners, in fact," says Julia Phillips, director of Sandia's Physical, Chemical, and Nanosciences Center.

Troopers: 2 dead after vehicle flees 1 wreck, causes second on Cobbs Ford Road
Two people were killed in a crash on Cobbs Ford Road near Interstate 65 Thursday, authorities confirmed. (Source: ALDOT)
By WSFA Staff | December 17, 2020 at 10:33 AM CST - Updated December 17 at 5:43 PM
PRATTVILLE, Ala. (WSFA) - Alabama state troopers say their investigation into a wreck in Elmore County has determined a vehicle fleeing one crash was quickly involved in a second that turned fatal.
The crash happened on Cobbs Ford Road, about one-tenth of a mile west of Millbrook, near Exit 179 of Interstate 65.
Two people were killed and four others were injured as a result, according to ALEA State Trooper Joel J. Hart. Those killed included Ethel W. Harris, 73, of Selma, and Rashard T. Adkins, 36, of Jones (Autauga County).
Trooper Hart said Harris and Adkins were passengers in a 2006 Lincoln Mark LT when the vehicle collided with a 2018 Dodge Ram 2500 around 8:40 a.m. Neither passenger was wearing a seat belt and both were pronounced dead on the scene.
Among those injured were the driver of the Dodge, identified as Raymond Hawthorne Jr., 37, of Pike Road, as well as the driver of the Lincoln, Mary Adkins, 71, of Jones, and two other unnamed passengers in her vehicle. All four were taken to area hospitals for treatment.
Hart said the preliminary investigation shows the Lincoln was fleeing the scene of a crash that happened at the intersection of Cobbs Ford Road and U.S. Highway 82 when the second crash happened.
ALEA's Highway Patrol Division is still investigating and other other details were available for release.

The Ryk Mead Band
The Ryk Mead Band, are indeed a blues band but by definition a lot more. A Stunning Power Blues, Jazz, Rock Trio. Through playing many different styles of music it has always been the case that the blues has had a deep influence on whatever type of material I've played. As time progressed, so did the inclination to select the more obscure and less trodden path of song and material I wanted to play. It's hard to say whether this is my influence on the other members of the band or if the others have joined because they feel the same about the way music has influenced them. Whatever the case my band has developed a style of its own. When i play live the set may change from night to night. We might suddenly change an arrangement or change direction at any moment within a song. The basis of the song stays the same but things change, imagination and feel for the moment take over; something new is created. Not even the guy's in the band know when it's coming. This creates a tension and excitement that means things evolve and develop night by night. With hard work it becomes possible. This makes every gig potentially electrifying and new.
A howlin' blues three piece - harmonica, guitar, drums – modelled after acts on the Fat Possum label such as RL Burnside and T Model Ford and in the tradition of Hound Dog Taylor and the like. But we also throw in a good heap of Little Walter and New Orleans music, including Professor Longhair and James Booker, making for a unique mix. We've been featured in Blues in Britain and our debut CD, a mix of originals and covers, has been getting radio airplay on blues programmes around the country and the US. Our motto: "Work all day for money, fight all night for love."
SOLID ENTERTAINMENTS Presents... LINCOLN BLUES FESTIVAL


It had been unusually warm all week, as high as 60 degrees and lots of sunshine. But the evening before we sheared the temperatures dropped back down in the teens and our shearing day's high would not go much over the high 20's. Most of the day the sun poured in through the barn windows while we sheared and skirted; we were all more than comfortable, including the sheep. We had a lovely shearing day as we harvested our year's wool clip.
This year we invited Aaron Loux, a circuit shearer here on the east coast, to shear 61 of our purebred heritage Finnsheep. Aaron was gentle with our Finns, which was a priority for us. Finnsheep are very prolific, and the pregnant ewes are carrying multiple lambs each. The fleeces came off like butter under Aaron's shears. He was careful and conscientious of our hand spinning wool clip. After 61 sheared, he could have easily sheared more. Many of our finnsheep were coated all winter. It was important to keep the fleeces free of hay and straw, so we left the holding pen straw free. This year we built a raised platform for Aaron to shear on. Plywood on the ground does work fine, but using the platform kept the shearing area extra clean. We will use the raised platform again. Since Aaron was shearing all of our Finns in one day, I asked some friends to help me lightly skirt and bundle the fleeces. They were a big help and I was glad to offer them some beautiful Finn wool for their assistance.
One week later and the adult ewes already are growing their next fleece. Finn fleeces have a nice 5-6 inch staple after a year's growth. Nutrition is important at all stages of the sheep's cycle. Proper nutrition protects the fiber from breaking and helps maintain the Finn's silky, soft, crimpy wool that hand spinners covet.
Our yearling ewe's above are in top condition. I have already begun to skirt the fleeces. First clip lamb's wool is even softer and perfect for next to skin garments like scarves or baby products such as blankets, bibs, hats, and booties. More about the fleeces to come.
We had a second lambing period last year and these later born younger ewes will add to our flock of breeding ewes this fall. We plan to retain a few more ewe lambs due to start arriving in just a few days. Add these to our growing flock and I would say that Aaron will have a bigger group to shear next year. We may have to start a little earlier so that we can enjoy a nice lunch in the cabin again. Most shearer's welcome a meal, and it was nice to come into the cabin, sit buy the fire awhile and get to know Aaron.
Our next blog we will share our beautiful fleeces we are busy skirting; some of the fleeces will be sold to hand spinners and felters. Some fleeces will go to our mill to make top, roving and yarn.

Louisville Card File: Missouri-Kansas City
December 5, 2013 BasketballChane Behanan, College Hoops, Louisville Cardinals, Rick Pitino, Russ Smithseedyk
A few years ago, I started taking piano lessons..
Not long afterward — I still hadn't even learned all the major chords yet — I ran into an acquaintance, Pete, who has serious chops on the 88s and gigs around town regularly. He's a pro.
He looked at me, and advised, "Here's all you need to know.
"Inversions."
You know like the advice Mr. McGuire gave Benjamin Braddock in "The Graduate"
"I'm just going to say one word to you. Listening? Plastics."
Like Braddock, I didn't have a clue what Pete was talking about. But, had Benjamin followed that advice, he'd be a rich man today, whether he and Katharine Ross were still together. I have also come to understand the importance of inversions when plunking about on my Young Chang.
Yes, sports fans, Cardinal fans, I'm about to talk U of L hoops, and trust you'll soon understand the relevance of my extended prelude.
Lackluster is the best word to describe Louisville's W last night over Kareem Richardson's Missouri- Kansas City Kangaroos.
Like "plastics" and "inversions," I have one word for the Cardinals.
Rotations.
When the 'Roos were able to get the ball into front court, and the Cardinals were playing man, the visitors scored on more than half their possessions I'm sure, though I don't have the exact stats. Penetration to the hoop was way to easy for a team of M-KC's caliber.
The Rick was obviously not pleased: "We just got beat off of the dribble quite a bit. That is probably our biggest weakness to date, how often we get beat off the bounce. Whether it is the new rules or not, our better players are getting beat too much, and we have got to correct that the next few days, because this team was obviously very inferior to our athletic ability."
The answer. Rotation.
Or, play zone.
Anyhow, that failure by the Cards allowed the visitors to make almost half their shots. They were 23/50 from the field, 46%.
The numbers tell us the issue was indeed half court D. The Cards' press generated 20 turnovers, 14 steals. But forced to hunker down on D in the half court, U of L was way less than stellar.
My nemesis David, who matriculated decades back for a post-grad year at some little school in Cambridge, Mass., where he apparently spent more time in Boston Garden than class, never ceases reminding me of Red Auerbach's constant mantra, when a Celtic foe was zipping up court with the rock.
"Stop the ball."
Well, had Red been in the house last night, he could have put his shouted admonition on tape loop.1 U of L allowed the visitors quick guards to jitterbug relatively unimpeded to the hoop or passing point in the key all night long.
The Rick can say Chane was the only one who played well all he wants. I disagree.
Yet again, Russ Smith played a mature game. And a really good one.
In 12 first half minutes off the bench, Russ took only a single shot, but dished 5 assists and grabbed four boards. While committing nary a turnover. For the game, U of L's leader had 10 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and only 1 turnover.
Behanan was indeed stellar off the bench. 11 points, the same number of boards, 2 steals and a block.
The other Cardinal who grabbed my attention, who finally started showing something was Akoy Agau. He grabbed 5 boards and had a block in a very short stint. The Rick noted that AA is still in his adjustment period, but the freshman was obviously more aggressive on the hardwood last evening.
Louisville, despite its mediocrity against woeful foes, remains atop Ken Pomeroy's widely respected computerized standings.
The Cards do rank first in the land in turnover margin, and #5 in steals per game.
In the AAC, Russ Smith ranks second in scoring, 7th in assists, #10 in FT% and tenth in assist/turnover ratio. Silent L ranks #2 in rebounding and #6 in FG%. Luke Hancock ranks third in FT%, while Chris Jones ranks #15 in the same category. Wayne Blackshear ranks eighth in shooting from beyond the arc.
Next up: Louisiana Lafayette Saturday afternoon.
Get out your tire chains. It'll be interesting to see how many show up when the weather's frightful?
And don't forget to dig into your pocket for two large to buy one of those celebratory bottles of Maker's Mark.

Seedy…..not many of us are overly interested in hearing about you plunking about on your piano, man….stick to sports, please….
inversion is what Denny had as a scheme in th high post offense against man defense when he would bring the forwards out to the wings or out front with the guards posting down low. Had several different series to acomplish the inversion.
Couldn't agree more with our inability to guard off the dribble in the half court or stop the ball as UM-KC knew to break the press in the middle rather than the sideline; either way we hung our "5" out to dry whether it was SVT or double"M" or the Silent L
Keep working the ivories

Remember a game years ago at Freedom Hall when there was something like 8″ of snow and the place still had around 10,000. John Tong did his best Rod Roddy and invited everyone in the upper level to "Come on dowwwwnn."

Q: Find a solution of the polynomial Given $1<\beta<2$ and positive integer $n\geq2013$, then can we find a non-zero vector $(a_n\,,a_{n-1}\cdots\,a_1\,a_0 )$ where all $a_i\in\{-1\,,0\,,1\}$, such that $\sum\limits_{k=0}^{n-1}a_k\beta^k=0$

A: If $\beta\in\mathbb{Q}$ then doesn't exists.
Indeed, suppose $(a_n,\cdots,a_0)\ne0$ such that
$$
a_n\beta^n+\cdots+a_1\beta+a_0=0
$$
Let $m=\max\{i:a_i\ne0\}$. Then, we have
$$
a_m\beta^m+\cdots+a_0=0
$$
and we can suppose $a_0\ne0$, otherwise, if $r=\min\{i:a_i\ne0\}$, then $a_m\beta^m+\cdots+a_0=a_m\beta^m+\cdots+a_r\beta^r=\beta^r(a_m\beta^{m-r}\cdots+a_r)=0$, and since $\beta^r\ne0$, then $a_m\beta^{m-r}+\cdots+a_r=0$.
Multiplying by $-1$, if necessary, we can suppose $a_m=1$. Now, writing $\beta=\frac ab$, with $a,b\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $\gcd(a,b)=1$, and multiplying the equation by $b^m$, we obtain
$$
a^m+ba_{m-1}\left(\frac ab\right)^{m-1} + \cdots + b^{m}a_m=0
$$
letting $b$ in evidence, we obtain
$$
a^m=bq
$$
hence, since $\gcd(a,b)=1$, we have that $b$ divides $a$, but this implies $\beta=\frac ab\in\mathbb{Z}$, contradiction.

A: Even if $\beta \in \mathbb{Q}$, there are infinitely many rational numbers $\in (1, 2)$, and set of all $\beta$s are finite (there are $3^{n+1}$ such polynomials and maximum # of solutions is much less than $(n-1)3^n$).

…it really annoys me when writers twist the meaning of Bible verses to make them say what they want to fit their argument. For instance, Judges 1:1 clearly doesn't say what the OP claims it says if you take it on face value.
The point of contention then is whether Judges 1:1 marks the beginning of the campaign to conquer Canaan, or a point in time during a preexisting campaign which Joshua had previously started.
So, does Judges 1:1 say what I think it says or am I deliberately twisting the meaning to make it fit my argument?
Judges 1 describes how the Israelites went about conquering the land. The first 20 verses describe the adventures of Judah and Simeon taking their inheritance. Next we hear about Benjamin's inability to take Jerusalem, the House of Joseph's taking of Bethel, followed by Manasseh, Ephraim, Zebulun, Asher, and Naphtali's partial conquest of their inheritance, concluding with Dan's complete failure to do the same.
The events in the chapter cover the whole land of Canaan, from the Negev in the south (Jdg 1:9) to the northern reaches of Asher (Jdg 1:31). Given that Judah began proceedings (Jdg 1:2), and everything else in the chapter followed, the entire campaign is said to have happened after Joshua's death.
The context of Judges 1 is clear: it describes a failed attempt to conquer Canaan, an attempt that began after Joshua's death.
Specifically, we want to know what was intended to be understood by "first".
The Israelites aren't asking who is going to take over the leadership of an ongoing campaign, the narrative is clear – they're asking who is to be the first of the tribes to go and fight the Benjamites.
Judges 1 explains how after the death of Joshua the Israelites attempted to conquer the whole of Canaan. Judah is the first tribe to begin work on taking their inheritance; the rest of the tribes follow their example. Given that the tribes are attempting to take their inheritance after Joshua's death, it follows that they hadn't taken it before – there would be no need to take their inheritance if they'd previously taken it. Therefore, the starting position of Judges 1 is that none of Canaan had been conquered up to that point. And, since Joshua had just died, none of Canaan had been taken in Joshua's lifetime.
Yes, this flies in the face of what we read in Joshua 10 and 11. That's the point – we're not reading a nice, neat, historical record.
As a quick aside, the quoted comment shows why claiming to accept a face value reading doesn't really mean much. What may appear to be the obvious or "clear" meaning of a passage to one person may be a purposefully twisted interpretation to another. "Face value" reading isn't objective; it's unconscious and subjective interpretation that is the result of reading a text through lenses we don't acknowledge or even know exist.

Stray Bullet Misses Freestone County Man's Head by Mere Inches
Aaron Savage Updated: April 20, 2020
Let me preface this by saying that most gun owners I know are responsible people with good heads on their shoulders.
Sadly, not everyone with access to a firearm was blessed with common sense.
The Freestone County Sheriff's Office reported Monday that two men were arrested Saturday and charged with deadly conduct after they almost shot a neighbor in the head while target practicing.
Deputies were called to a home on Highway 179 near Teague, where a resident reported that he'd been sitting on his couch when a bullet flew through his window and hit an inner wall of his house. The bullet missed the person's head by about 10 inches.
FCSO Sgt. Martin located two men who were shooting at targets on a right-of-way property half a mile away on County Road 650. Their targets were set up so that they were shooting directly toward the near victim's house.
"We reside in a very rural area here in Freestone County," Sheriff J. Shipley wrote in a news release. "We love our freedoms and we love our guns. But, we must remember that we are responsible for where the projectile goes once it leaves our firearm. This could have been much worse and an unfortunate loss of life. Please, be very cautious of where you are, where others are, and be safe as to how you handle your target practice."
Who doesn't love to get in some target practice once in a while? However, if you're going to be shooting outdoors, it should go without saying that you need some sort of backstop. It could be a simple earthen bern or a more elaborate setup like the guy's in the video below.
Whatever you do, just be safe about it. It's the irresponsible, boneheaded gun owners who give the rest of us a bad name.

Well, I am still waiting for Jeff to come home. We thought it would be last week, but no. Then it was going to be over the weekend. Still no. And now the weekend is passing and we're still not sure when it will be. He did catch a flight to Manas, so he's officially out of Afghanistan, which is good news. Maybe within a few days or so, he'll be leaving there.
Meanwhile, I am doing everything possible to keep the house clean during this extended waiting period. Also, lots of wreaths are being made.
If Jeff doesn't get here soon, the whole house is going to be covered with them! Also, giving away a few here and there. Thinking of making a bunch of the red, white & blue ones to give to the wives whose husbands are deployed. At least it gives me something fun to do while I wait!
Now, hopefully the next post will be about his arrival to home sweet home!
Today, In addition to painting an accent wall, I baked three different types of cookies with Carrie! In the last week, I've looked through tons of dessert blogs trying to find the most delicious cookies to bake and send to Jeff, and the three recipes I chose all happened to come from the blog Lovin' from the Oven. This blog is fantastic, with super great photos of all the desserts created. For today, I chose Nutella Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodles, and - get ready for this - Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip! Yeah, you heard me, an Oreo inside a chocolate chip cookie.
Here's the Snickerdoodles and Nutella Chocolate Chip cookies. Even though they didn't get much photo love, they both turned out ah-ma-zing!
But the star of this show (mainly just because of size and originality) was the Oreo Stuffed CC cookies. Here they are in the making. And yes, the Oreo is inside there.
They turned out much bigger than I expected.
Well, hello. Time for taste test! And just so you know, they did taste as good as they look!
And before even cooling completely, we had them vacuum-packed, in a box and ready to ship! Because if they were if front of me any longer, the guys would end up with nothing. No more temptation here!
What a fun day! I'm sure the guys will LOVE their goody boxes!


The St John Paul II Baseball Team brought it's winning streak to 6, and district record to 7-4, behind the masterful pitching of Senior Elijah Ramos.
The Centurions provided two runs off of Holy Cross pitching on Friday, but that's all Ramos needed. Ramos threw 5-1/3 innings on his way to a 2-0 Win. Chris Sanchez closed it out for STJPII, throwing 1-2/3 innings for the Save.

Foreign body aspiration
Foreign body aspiration , A foreign body aspiration happens when a foreign object enters the airway, causing breathing difficulties or choking. Objects can enter the respiratory tract and digestive tract through the mouth and nose, but aspiration occurs when an object enters the respiratory tract. The foreign body can then become trapped in the trachea or further down the respiratory tract, in a bronchus, for example. Any aspiration, regardless of the type of object, can be a life-threatening event that requires prompt diagnosis and action to reduce the risk of consequences. While developments in the treatment of this illness have resulted in much better clinical results, In 2018, there were still 2,700 deaths due to foreign body aspiration. Choking on food kills about one child every five days in the United States, underlining the need for better education and prevention.
The entry of solid materials into the airway at the level of the glottal aperture, larynx, trachea, or bronchi is known as foreign body aspiration (FBA). FBA-related complications might be either immediate or delayed. When a foreign body becomes stuck in the glottal aperture, larynx, or trachea, it partially or totally obstructs the flow of air to both lungs, immediate difficulties develop. Respiratory arrest, negative-pressure pulmonary edema, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, subcutaneous emphysema, hypoxic neurologic injury are all immediate problems. as well as cardiac arrest When a foreign body lodges in one of the main or distal bronchi, it obstructs airflow to the lung distal to the blockage, causing delayed problems. Recurrent pneumonia, bronchiectasis, and pyelopneumothorax are among the delayed consequences.
Foreign body aspiration symptoms vary depending on the place of obstruction, the size of the foreign body, and the severity of the obstruction. 80% of foreign bodies become trapped in a bronchus, while 20% become lodged in the upper airway. Coughing, choking, and/or wheezing are common signs of foreign body aspiration; however, symptoms might develop more slowly if the foreign body does not produce a significant obstruction of the airway. Aspiration, on the other hand, can be asymptomatic in some cases.
Patients usually present with a sudden onset of choking. The obstruction is classified as partial or total in certain situations. Choking with drooling, stridor, and the patient's capacity to talk are all signs of partial obstruction. Choking with inability to speak or the absence of bilateral breath sounds, as well as other indicators of respiratory distress such as cyanosis, are all signs of total obstruction. It's possible that you have a fever. It's conceivable that the object is chemically irritating or polluted if this is the case.
Foreign bodies above the larynx frequently cause stridor, although items below the larynx rarely do.
Wheezing is present in the larynx. Swallowing difficulties and pain, as well as excessive drooling, are common symptoms of foreign bodies above the vocal chords. Pain and trouble speaking and breathing are common symptoms of foreign bodies beneath the vocal cords. In a youngster who is unable to communicate or report whether or not they have eaten a foreign body, an increased respiration rate may be the only indicator of aspiration.
Patients may appear with chronic cough, asymmetrical breath sounds on exam, or recurrent pneumonia of a specific lung lobe if the foreign body does not create a high degree of obstruction. If the aspiration happened weeks or months ago, The object may have caused obstructive pneumonia or possibly a lung abscess in the past. As a result, persistent foreign body aspiration should be considered in individuals who have had unexplained recurrent pneumonia or lung abscess with or without fever.
The right lower lobe of the lung is the most prevalent site of recurrent pneumonia in people who have aspirated a foreign body. This is due to the right major bronchus' anatomy being wider and steeper than the left main bronchus', allowing items to enter more easily than the left side. Unlike adults, children have only a modest proclivity for things lodged in the right bronchus. This is most likely owing to the symmetry of the bilateral bronchial angles until the aortic knob fully develops and displaces the left major bronchus around the age of 15 years.
Adults' signs and symptoms of foreign body aspiration can be confused with those of other lung diseases such asthma, COPD, and lung cancer.
Because children have a predisposition to put small things in their mouths and noses, the majority of instances of foreign body aspiration occur in children aged 6 months to 3 years. Because children of this age lack molars, they are unable to crush food into small enough bits for optimal swallowing. Foreign body aspiration is frequently caused by small, spherical objects such as nuts, hard sweets, popcorn kernels, beans, and berries. Latex balloons can potentially cause choking in youngsters, which can lead to death.
A latex balloon will adhere to the shape of the trachea, obstructing the airway and making the Heimlich maneuver harder to perform. Furthermore, if the foreign material, such as a bean, seed, or corn, can absorb water, it may enlarge with time, resulting in a more severe obstruction.
Adults with poor swallowing mechanisms, such as neurological illnesses, alcohol use, advanced age leading to senility (particularly common in the sixth decade of life), and loss of consciousness, are more likely to aspirate foreign bodies. It's also possible that poor airway protection is at blame. Dentition, seizure, general anesthesia, or sedative medication use are all factors to consider.
An accurate history provided by an incident witness is the most significant part of the assessment for a clinician. Regrettably, this isn't always possible.
Examination of the body
In addition to cardiac and pulmonary evaluations, a clinician's physical examination should include a general assessment. Breath sounds can provide additional information about the position of the object and the degree of airway obstruction. Drooling and dysphagia (drooling) should always be noticed in conjunction with the traditional indications of airway obstruction, as these can indicate esophageal involvement and have an impact on therapy.
Imaging for diagnostic purposes
The most common type of imaging employed in the first examination of a foreign body presentation is radiography. To determine the location of the foreign body, the majority of patients undergo a chest x-ray. Patients suspected of aspirating a foreign body should have lateral neck, chest, and bilateral decubitus end-expiratory chest x-rays taken. However, because not all objects can be seen on chest radiography, the presence of normal results does not rule out foreign body aspiration. In reality, radiography can reveal normal findings in up to 50% of instances. This is because the visibility of an object is determined by a variety of elements, including the object's substance, size, and shape. the patient's bodily habitus, as well as the anatomic position and surrounding structures [X-ray beams only show an object if its composition prevents the rays from passing through, rendering it radiopaque and making it look lighter or white on the image. This also necessitates it not being trapped behind something that stops the beams. Most metals, with the exception of aluminum, are radiopaque, as are bones, with the exception of most fish bones, and glass. The substance is called radiolucent if it does not block x-ray radiation and appears dark, preventing visibility. Most plastics, most fish bones, wood, and most aluminum objects fall into this category.
Other diagnostic imaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and ventilation perfusion scans, are only used in the diagnosis of foreign body aspiration to a limited extent.
Visualization of the foreign body or hyperinflation of the afflicted lung are two x-ray signs that are more prevalent than the object itself and can indicate foreign body aspiration. Obstructive emphysema, atelectasis, and consolidation are further x-ray abnormalities that can be detected with foreign body aspiration.
While an x-ray can be used to visualize the location and identification of a foreign body, it cannot be utilized to diagnose it. The gold standard for diagnosis is rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia, which allows the foreign body to be viewed and removed. When two of the following three criteria are met, rigid bronchoscopy is recommended: patient or witness account of foreign body aspiration, abnormal lung exam results, or abnormal chest x-ray findings.
Treatment for foreign body aspiration is dictated on the patient's age and the degree of the airway obstruction.
A partial or total obstruction of the airway is possible. When a foreign body is partially obstructed, the patient can usually clear it out by coughing. Complete occlusion necessitates immediate intervention to remove the foreign body.
Finger sweeping in the mouth is not indicated if foreign body aspiration is suspected because it increases the danger of moving the foreign object deeper into the airway.
If a kid under the age of one year is choking, the youngster should be placed face down over the rescuer's arm. Back strikes should be delivered with the heel of the hand, followed by the patient being turned face-up and chest thrusts. Until the object is cleared, the rescuer should alternate five back punches with five chest thrusts. To dislodge a foreign body in choking patients over the age of one year, the Heimlich maneuver should be employed. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) should be initiated if the patient falls unconscious during physical intervention.
High-level management
If the basic treatments fail to remove the foreign body and proper breathing cannot be restored, trained personnel will be required to treat the patient. If non-invasive airway clearance procedures fail in unresponsive individuals, laryngoscopy should be performed. Laryngoscopy is a procedure that involves inserting a device into the mouth to view the rear of the airway. Forceps can be used to remove the foreign body if it is visible. After that, an endotracheal tube should be inserted to prevent airway compromise caused by the inflammation.
following the procedure Intubation, tracheotomy, or needle cricothyrotomy can be used to restore an airway in patients who have become comatose owing to airway compromise if the foreign body cannot be seen.
If non-invasive techniques fail to dislodge the foreign substance and the patient is able to breathe normally, a rigid bronchoscopy under general anesthesia should be performed. The patient should be given extra oxygen, have their heart monitored, and have a pulse oximeter. To avoid further airway compromise, make every effort to keep the patient quiet and avoid upsetting them. When the diagnosis or location of an object requires flexible bronchoscopy rather than rigid bronchoscopy, it may be used.
are ambiguous When a flexible bronchoscope is utilized, a rigid bronchoscope is usually on hand and ready to use because it is the preferred method of removal. Rigid bronchoscopy provides for greater airway control, hemorrhage control, visibility, and manipulation of the aspirated object using a variety of forceps. When distal access is required and the operator is skilled in this technique, flexible bronchoscopy may be employed for extraction. [14] The ability to access subsegmental bronchi, which are smaller in diameter and located deeper down the bronchus, is one of the potential benefits.
The major bronchi are smaller than the rest of the respiratory system. [14] The biggest drawback of employing a flexible scope is the possibility of further dislodging the object and compromising the airway. Bronchoscopy is successful in removing the foreign body in roughly 95% of cases, with only 1% of cases resulting in complications.
Patients should get nebulized beta-adrenergic medicine and chest physiotherapy after the foreign body is removed to further protect the airway.
Except in exceptional circumstances, steroidal anti-inflammatories and antibiotics are not commonly used. These include circumstances where the foreign body is difficult or impossible to remove, or when a respiratory tract infection has been documented.
When an object is removed from the airway, it might cause inflammation and edema within the airway. When a foreign body is surrounded by inflammatory tissue and evacuation is difficult or impossible, glucocorticoids may be used.
In such circumstances, extraction may be postponed for a brief course of glucocorticoids to minimize inflammation before trying again. Because this practice can result in the foreign body being dislodged, these patients should be kept in the hospital until the extraction is successful. Antibiotics are necessary when an infection has formed, but they should not be used to postpone extraction. In fact, getting rid of The removal of the infectious source, as well as the use of cultures obtained during the bronchoscopy to guide antibiotic selection, may help to enhance infection management. [14] The patient may have stridor as a result of airway edema or swelling. Glucocorticoids, aerosolized epinephrine, or helium oxygen treatment may be used in these circumstances.
Patients who are clinically stable and do not require supplemental oxygen following extraction may be discharged the same day.
Routine imaging, such as a follow-up chest x-ray, isn't required unless symptoms persist or worsen, or if the patient has previously had imaging abnormalities that need to be verified. The majority of youngsters are released from the hospital within 24 hours of the treatment.
If a foreign body persists in the airway, it can cause a slew of problems. Depending on the timing of events, issues may arise after the object has been removed. If a sudden total obstruction occurs without prompt medical attention, cardiac arrest and death are probable outcomes. A pulmonary infection, such as pneumonia or a lung abscess, is the most common complication of a foreign body aspiration. In the aged, this can be more difficult to overcome, leading to even greater difficulties. Patients
A foreign body that remains in the airway may cause inflammation of the airway walls. Secretions from the airway might be trapped behind the obstruction, creating an excellent environment for bacterial proliferation. If the foreign body is not removed, hyperinflation of the airway distal to the obstruction can ensue. Recurrent episodes of pneumonia in the same lung region should prompt a search for a foreign body in the airway.
Chemical bronchitis, mucosal responses, and the development of granulation tissue are all possible consequences, regardless of whether the foreign body is removed.
Interventions used to remove a foreign body from the airway might also cause complications. The gold standard for removing a foreign body is rigid bronchoscopy, although this procedure is not without dangers. Damage to the patient's teeth is the most prevalent complication of rigid bronchoscopy. [15] Cuts to the mouth or esophagus, bronchial tree perforation, vocal cord injury, pneumothorax, atelectasis, stricture, and perforation are also less usual consequences.
When considering how to reduce the risk of aspiration, numerous aspects must be considered, especially in the very young and elderly populations.
Children's developmental level in terms of swallowing and protecting their airway via processes like as coughing and the gag reflex are the most important factors. Certain object properties, such as size, shape, and material, can also enhance the risk of choking in youngsters. When there are numerous children in a shared setting, toys and meals that are safe for older children can end up choking the smaller ones. Parental education When feasible, priority should be given to caregivers. This can happen through jobs like pediatricians, dentists, and instructors, as well as marketing in the media and written publications. Caretakers should be taught how to spot choking and administer first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as well as how to check for warning labels and toy recalls and avoid high-risk objects and foods.
Choking risks warning labels are needed on packaging for small balls, marbles, balloons, and toys with small parts, thanks to several public initiatives such as the Child Safety Protection Act and the Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA).
When they are designed for usage by youngsters in at-risk age groups, small pieces are required. In addition, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 updated the FHSA to require choking hazard warnings to be included in advertisements on websites, catalogues, and other printed materials.
One of the most common and dangerous pediatric surgical emergencies is foreign body aspiration into the airway or esophagus.
The rate of morbidity and mortality varies between 0 and 4.8 percent.
Risks Associated with Surgery
Aspiration is a possibility, but it's a minor one. The most dangerous time for vomiting or regurgitation with aspiration is during anesthesia induction and recovery.
If the patient's health status is stable, a transfer to a specialized facility should be considered.
Urgent cases should be taken to the OR right away.
Acute presentation, with a parent or caretaker witnessing the child swallowing or aspirating a foreign body and developing cough, dyspnea, and stridor almost immediately; • Delayed presentation, with prolonged and often unexplained respiratory symptoms, such as cough, wheezing, and recurrent respiratory tract infections
