Japan is indeed a very English-friendly country for one that does not have English has its official or government language. Bilingual street or transportation-related signs (Japanese-English) are the norm, not just in Tokyo, but in most Japanese cities.
If that is normal in almost any country in international airports, few European countries actually have street signs or maps in English. Government buildings, big shopping centres and some major companies also generally have bilingual signs. Amazon Japan has an English-version, but Amazon France and Amazon Germany don't, despite the fact that much more English speakers reside in France than in Japan. Budget business hotel chains like Toyoko-inn, have websites with complete English translation (not just a few practical pages like Amazon), and signs in the hotel both in Japanese and English too. Many restaurants (especially chains) have menus in English, which is rarely the case in most European countries.
Japanese people all have to learn English at school (and cannot choose another foreign language in most schools). There are more English conversation (Eikaiwa) schools per square metre in Japan than anywhere else on earth.
Movies in cinemas are usually in original version with subtitles, contrarily to big European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain) where they are dubbed. Even the national TV channel NHK provides bilingual programmes (including the news). All the major Japanese newspapers or news agencies (Asahi, Yomiuri, Mainichi, Kyodo...) have an English-translation of the major news, updated on a daily basis. There is even the Japan Times, written in English only, yet directed at both a foreign and Japanese audience. In comparison, European newspapers almost never have an English translation. France's great newspapers like Le Figaro or Le Monde are in French only. In a multilingual country like Belgium, rather than translate the news in both Dutch and French, newspapers are completely separated, and never have an English translation. In non-English speaking EU countries in general, the only English newspapers or news websites both in English and the country's languages are pan-European ones like EuroNews. I can only think of Deutsche Welle, which has news in both German and English (along 28 other languages !). In that sense, Japan is very English-friendly.
What I find somewhat odd is that the English craze has gone so far in Japan that many signs (and sometimes even ads) are provided in English only, despite being used mostly by Japanese people. I have created a special gallery of pictures to illustrate this phenomenon.
Has English become Japan's second language, like in Hong Kong (and somehow also Shanghai) ?

Just to add -
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) is really pushing to have all graduating high school seniors able to pass the ikkyu level of eiken and is (at least when I was in the system a year ago) sending officials out to proselytize their new "action plan" for English education in public schools.
I can't recall what the time frame was for their goals but not too far out there if I'm remembering things right (MEXT speakers tended to put most of the hall to sleep to begin with....)

Japan is indeed a very English-friendly country for one that does not have English has its official or government language.
Can one that speaks/reads Japanese make that call? I can't, b/c I already had a few years of university under my belt before arriving so could at least communicate, but all my friends that have visited have complained about it being English-unfriendly -- not even comprable to most places in Europe.
THe signs... yeah, sure. The people? I'd say not.

YET, there aren't so many signs, commercials or newspaper translations in English as in Japan. So from that point of view at least, they lose. As a short-term tourist, Northern European countries are probably easier for English-speakers, but the number of resources and services in English cannot compare to those found in Japan. The Japanese government even sends explanations in English to registered foreigners (automatically, without request) on how to pay taxes, how to fill out the population census form, etc. I get all my water bills in Tokyo (although not gas and electricity, probably because they are private companies, whereas water is still public) are bilingual Japanese-English. I don't think any (non English-speaking) European country provides all this in English. Even in multilingual Belgium with all its EU expats in Brussels.
I never got my bills in English except from Citibank. I'm not really talking to live though - I'm talking about visiting, which is what the majority of foreigners due (for any country). You can't really expect Japan to have everything easily accessible to the English speaking population though, like parts of Thailand or other sunny places. There's no tourist industry (Indonesia, Thailand, etc.) and despite have occupational forces present Japan wasn't a colony of an English speaking country (HK). I still don't know why they speak English in Singapore.
But simply mentioning those places, what parts of asia are less English friendly than Japan and are developed nations? Arguably Korea and China, but that's probably it.
Only Korea, Japan, Singapore and HK are considered "developed". I have been to all South-East Asian countries except Laos, Myanmar and Brunei, and there is not a single country more English-friendly than Japan (except Singapore which officially is an English-speaking country). Of course if you only stay in tourist resorts that does not count. I mean really going anywhere in the country like a local would.
I guess that's why visitors ***** and moan all the time about how they can't communicate with people. I even remember going to the immigration office when it was still in Shibuya and there not being a very strong English speaker in there.... or maybe it was his day off.

If we're just talking about the signs Maciamo posted a link to in his post, I'd say they're appallingly poor specimens for supporting his contention. Almost without exception the English on the signs serves no functional purpose whatsoever, being nothing more than decoration on the signs. The functional meaning is conveyed by images, context, sign placement, etc.

ditto, i thinks others would agree.....
And was it better in all the non-English-speaking countries where you lived ? Please tell me which one they were !
its strong arm to weave Maciamo, but im agreeing with you, you cant fault when a japanese person is speaking bad English, its the idea that hes trying to that counts.
If someone makes the effort to talk in your language you make the effort to listen.
That's because the few pictures I took were signs that were only in English. But you can't deny that almost all street signs (including romaji versions of street names and neighbourhood names), area maps, train and subway directions, etc. are bilingual. How many countries that do not have English as an official language do you know that do the same ? I admit that it was the case in Shanghai (but surely not in most of the rest of China), but even in Seoul or Bangkok, there weren't half as many English signs. Tokyo Metro even has its ads about train manners in both Japanese and English (and not Chinese or Korean, although there are much more speakers of these languages in Japan/Tokyo).
I mean, there is no reason for the Japanese government of private companies to translate all these signs in English, when countries like France or Spain that receive 16x to 10x more annual visitors (including proportionally much more English speakers) don't. Over half of all foreign residents and visitors in Japan are Korean or Chinese. So why are signs in Japanese and English, rather than Japanese and Korean or Chinese ? (some are in the 4 language, but they are few). Why are NHK's bilingual programmes translated in English and not Korean or Chinese ? I think it is pretty selfish for English-speakers to complain that Japan is not English-friendly, when it is more English-friendly than almost anywhere else, and much less Korean- or Chinese-friendly despite all good cause.
There are less than 100,000 native English-speakers residing in Japan out of 2 million registered foreigners, so only 5% of all foreigners, or 0.07% of the total Japanese population. According to the JNTO stats (pdf), visitors from English-speaking countries represent 1,345,000 people out of 6,137,000 visitors in 2004, or 21% of all visitors.
I say that proportionally to the number of native English speakers in Japan, and for a country that was not a British or American colony and does not have English as an official language, Japan is remarkably accommodating to English speakers.

Oh, I could deny it, but that would make the second time I have denied that particular contention of yours and, frankly, it isn't worth the effort.
That was not very convincing. If you are just referring to signs used by truck-drivers, then it's pretty normal that they are not in English, as you are one of the very few English-speakers to do this job in Japan. Anyway, I have expressedly said "street signs" and not "road signs" remembering your post. Not my fault if you can't differentiate a street (in a city) from a road or highway (between cities).
So why not just say "All bilingual signs are bilingual" if you're just going to conveniently ignore the bulk of signs which disprove your point anyway?
And I'm not referring to signs which apply only to truck drivers, either. There are tons of signs which apply to everybody in general and which are not bilingual.
And placing any sort of reliance on there being romaji on road/street signs (there is no distinction between the two, other than the artificial one you just made up) would be ill-advised. Very often along a route consistency of signage with regards to having or not having romaji is very spotty. One can follow the signs with romaji along the road and find that the place where one must turn in order to continue to one's destination is marked in kanji only. That's not as common as it used to be, but such quirks of the signage still exist. In fairness, though, compared to how signage was back when I first started out there has been an absolutely astounding improvement in the quality and consistency of signage. It used to be embarassingly abyssmal sometimes.
Perhaps the single largest improvement to come along in the last few years has been the numbering of roadways other than national highways. Navigating one's way around used to rely heavily on knowing the names of roads. For example, what we used to called the 前橋古河線 is now Gunma prefectural route 2. The 足利伊勢崎線 is now pref. route 39. I believe Tokyo's 環七 is 317. National hwy 15 is, in the Tokyo/Yokohama area, more commonly known as 第一京浜 while Hwy 1 is 第二京浜. Practically nobody knows that 山手通り is also 環六. It also has one of the newer numbers assigned to it, but I'll be hanged if I can recall it (despite driving it 6 days a week).
In other words, the signage is on the tail end of a transitional period, in a sense. People used to the old system still use the names of the roads, while people who started later on are more familiar with the number system. Getting romaji onto the signs is, likewise, still in a transitional phase. You see lots of them because your eyes/mind self-select them; they stand out more because of their romaji and make a larger impression in your consciousness. But the change is by no means complete, and I doubt that it ever will be.
Wow! I think that in the month or so that I've been a member of JREF, this is the longest post I can remember from mikecash!
I try to keep in mind that the longer the post, the less chance people will actually read it and the greater the chance of being misunderstood. Both of which make the act of typing overly windy posts an exercise in futility.
thats kinda of true the longer posts are daunting for some to read, but i very good at skim reading so im alright.

Well, I don't know if you have ever driven in Continental Europe, but there is still nothing in terms of English signs. You may think it's useless as it's in Latin characters anyway. Well, not so. In Belgium, most cities have different names in Dutch and French (and often also in German, English, Spanish or Italian). The problem is that signs are always written only in the language of the region where the road/highway's location. So signs in Dutch-speaking areas are in Dutch only, and those in French-speaking areas are in French only.
Some are fairly easy to guess. For example, 'Bruxelles' in French is 'Brussel' in Dutch, or 'Brussels' in English. Some are a bit less clear. Antwerpen in Dutch is
Anvers in French or Antwerp in English. But others are so different that if you don't know them, there is no chance you'd find your way. E.g. Mons in French is Bergen in Dutch, Liege in French is Luik in Dutch, Lille (in France) is Rijsel in Dutch, and Aachen (in Germany) is Aix-la-Chapelle in French (and Aken in Dutch).
Of course, there are also sign such as "slow down" or police annoucements about weather or traffic conditions, and they are also only in the area's language, and never in English, although Belgium is at the crossroad of all motorways between France, Germany, the Netherlands and even Britain (via ferry or Channel Tunnel). Depending on the day and place, 1/3 to 2/3 of all cars on the motorway are not Belgian. I wonder how Italian or Danish truck drivers that first come to Belgium manage to find some cities.
Coming from this background, you may understand better why I find Japan rather English-friendly.
In other words, the signage is on the tail end of a transitional period, in a sense. People used to the old system still use the names of the roads, while people who started later on are more familiar with the number system. Getting romaji onto the signs is, likewise, still in a transitional phase.
And when this transitional phase will be complete, Japan will effectively have bilingual signage, like no European country, even in their own official languages ! All that for 0.07% of English-speaking foreign residents. We are pampered by the Japanese government !
I'd be more tempted to attribute the replacement of the signs without romaji to a convenient way to provide sweetheart government contracts to industry under the camouflage of kokusaika.
You are correct; I have never driven in Europe. Nor do I ever wish to.
There's one important fact everyone seems to be overlooking. How many foreigners (even long term ones) drive in Japan? I don't know the exact number, but I'd bet my house it's no more than a small fraction. Even for the ones that do drive, I would assume driving signs would still be the least of their worries. What about finding a specific electrical part? Calling a locksmith when they get locked out of their house? Finding out the ingredients of the food they buy? Getting mustard on their french fries instead of catchup, or even ketsup for that matter?
Might I point out that you no longer live in Europe! (by your own choice I believe!)
As for other countries not using bilingual signage. In the US we tend to use International symbols and a numbering system so that you really don't need to be able to read English in order to drive. I mean...if you have a map, you really don't need to read the signs in order to know where you are going. Within the next few years I really don't think that you will need signs in Japan in order to get anywhere by car. I use my GPS in order to find places I'm not familiar with. I can just input the phone number of the location and it will direct me to the most direct route. I can effectively drive there without ever checking the signs on the road...or even the street!

What about finding a specific electrical part?
If you need something specific, it's very easy to check it first in a dictionary. That's just one word (or a few) to remember. Not a big deal, even for the least linguistically able person (people who can't do that shouldn't decide to live in another country in the firts place).
Calling a locksmith when they get locked out of their house?
And what if a tree fell on my house during a typhoon ? I have never been locked out of my house and neither do I know someone (close to me) who has. These are extremenly rare situations (I have never had to deal with a locksmith in my all life in any country). If it happens, it wouldn't be a big deal to ask a local friend for help, or again resort to an electronic dictionary (which you should always have on you if you live in a country where you don't speak the language, until you get reasonably fluent).
Finding out the ingredients of the food they buy?
Never had any problem with that. Just go to the supermarket and see by yourself what you need. If you need to read to name tag to know that a cabbage is a cabbage or a carton of milk is a carton of milk, then it is better to safely stay in your home country. My sister stayed one month in Japan this summer. She doesn't know a word of Japanese, but didn't have any problem to buy even Japanese ingredients. She could recognise the various kinds of sauces (bulldog, soy sauce, etc.) or guess from the image that one puding was "pumpkin" taste, while another was "mango". Even a child could do that.
Getting mustard on their french fries instead of catchup, or even ketsup for that matter?
Not sure what you mean. It's impossible to confuse in a supermarket (ketchup is red, FYI). In a McDonald or something, either ask (the Japanese words are the same : "masutaado" and "ketchappu") or see by yourself the colour of the package. What's more, most kinds of food having labelling in romaji - sometimes also in English. There are just so many imported products in Japanese supermarket. There is even Belgian jam (Materne) and chocolate (Cote d'Or), or French mustard and spices at my local supermarket, which isn't specialised in imports at all like Meiji-ya or Seijoishii !
A few more things you can now get in English in Japan (some were difficult a few years ago) : bilingual mobile phone, bilingual ATM, PC with keyboard and Windows in English (e.g. from a Dospara/Prime PC store nationwide or directly online), legal service in English (just check in JREF's directory), English-speaking emergency services (police, ambulance, medical information, foreign residents advisory, etc.), etc. I am sure that many people don't know about them (they might not know JREF), but they do exist. I have done a lot of research to gather information for this website, and done the same for Belgium. I can tell you that Japan has much more services, signs, etc. in English than cosmopolitan and multicultural Belgium. Apart from mobile phones that have dozens of languages so that the same model can be sold Europe-wide, and ATM's that usually have several languages, most of these things are not so easy to find in Belgium. You might be looking for the airport and not find the sign on the road because it's only written "luchthaven" in Dutch. That doesn't happen in Japan.
I also thing your disagreement about Japan being English-friendly are based on 2 things : 1) you confuse English-friendly with 'equal in convenience to an English-speaking country.', and 2) you forget that this is a compared to other countries in the world, not what you'd personally wish to find.

Q: ¿Cómo controlar varios eventos al mismo tiempo? En este sencillo proyecto de ejemplo, he incluido dos eventos click; uno para el div donde está el gráfico SVG, y otro para el rectángulo rojo. El problema es que cuando hago clic en el rectángulo rojo, genera los dos eventos, el del div y el del rectángulo rojo. Lo que quiero hacer es anular el evento del div sólamente cuando hago clic en el rectángulo rojo.
Otro problema añadido es que en mi proyecto real hay demasiados paths para poder compararlos uno a uno, es decir, en mi proyecto el rectángulo rojo, es un grupo con muchos paths donde se puede hacer clic en cualquiera de ellos dentro del rectángulo rojo.También necesito utilizar la misma función para ambos eventos.

A: La razón de tu problema es que los eventos hacen burbuja por lo que cuando haces click en el cuadro rojo también haces click en el cuadro rosa; también al tener un evento puesto en los dos es posible que los dos se ejecuten.
Para saber sobre que elemento se esta ejecutando el evento puedes usar event.currentTarget
para evitar que se siga propagando usa
event.stopPropagation()

When taking a look at hemp then it's the ones that are used as food. One of the most nutritious food that you can have is the hemp. You can have them different varieties. It is hemp that is considered to be the best source of vegetable protein. When looking at hemp then they are the ones that contain essential amino acids, essential fatty-acids. These are the ones that can help lower your blood cholesterol.
It is you that are as able to get body care products from hemp. Hemp does wonders in terms of hair and skin care. One of the best vegetable body care foundation that you can have is hemp due to its moisturizing and replenishing abilities. Hemp is considered to contain different elements like polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-3, omega-6, omega-9, linoleic acid, and gamma linoleic acids.
Another product that one can also get from hemp is paper. It is hemp that has three times more cellulose level compared to wood. Coampaered that of wood that it is hemp that is able to produce more paper. You will also need less process in making paper from hemp. It will also have no byproducts, not like wood.
Hemp is as great as a source of fuel. When taking a look at ethanol that it is the one that is derived from plants. Once you are able to make ethanol combust then that is also the time where you are able to create energy. It is with this process that ware vapor and carbon dioxide is being produced. It is these things that are being absorbed again by the plants to create more oxygen and cellulose. That is why it is considered to be a clean and sustainable energy source.


You're already helping to pay off deadbeats' homes. Why not help free them up to rack up some more credit-card debt too?
In many cultures, people offer "fair" (i.e., 50:50) splits, and offers of less than 20% are often rejected. Research on monozygotic and dizygotic twins has shown that individual variation in reactions to unfair offers is partly genetic.
To say that this arrangement is at least "partly genetic" is a way of returning to the concept of "natural law." Humans in many cultures will flatly reject an unfair split of free resources: A and B are both getting something for nothing, but B would rather get nothing at all than get only 19% while A takes 81%.
That's in a case where A is dividing spoils which are free to both parties -- neither one has any ownership of the spoils until they are divided. In the current case, A is proposing to take property that belongs to B and divide it between them. Because A controls the political branches, he is in charge of setting the terms of the division.
B, however, still has an option available, as the Randians keep reminding us. Doc Russia explores the question in depth.
It's still a good game. Many of us may have a lot more time to enjoy life, in the near future.
Other Muslim accounts note that the Franks not only killed civilians, but they tortured them to extort treasure and even ate them. According to Maalouf, Christian sources confirm that the Franks boiled and grilled adults as well as children so they could eat them. The local population quickly spread word of the atrocities that the Franks committed against the population of Ma'arrat. These stories reinforced the already prevalent image of the Franks as subhuman and further vilified them. What enemy could be worse, even in medieval times, than cannibals?
"They [Franks] aroused a mixture of fear and contempt, quite understandable on the part of an Arab nation which, while far superior in culture, had lost all combative spirit. The Turks would never forget the cannibalism of the Occidentals. Throughout their epic literature, the Franj are invariably described as anthropophagi." Muslims equate the conduct of the Franks during this siege to their true nature and eventually used this example to igncooperation between rival princes and emirs. In the near term, the conduct of the Franks benefited their campaign. In the long term, their conduct would eventually contribute to the loss of the war.
And 'gan to laugh as he were wode.
'What! is Saracen's flesh thus good?
That never erst I nought wist!
[And] Gnawen her flesh to the bones!
"Cannibalism is a mortal sin! You will burn in hellfire!"
"What about Confession? What do you think Confession's for?"

Kettlersteich war ein Ort im alten Kreis Soest, der im heutigen Möhnesee vollkommen  versunken ist. Er lag östlich der Heve und etwa 2 km südwestlich des heutigen Delecke. Nach der Fertigstellung der Möhnestaumauer im Jahr 1912 füllte sich der Stausee, und das Dorf verschwand völlig im Wasser. Die Gemeinde Kettlersteich wurde offiziell am 1. September 1925 aufgelöst. Ihr Gebiet kam zu Delecke.

Dear Santa: Canadiens' 2021 Christmas Wish List
December 23, 2021 by Trege Wilson
It's been a year of ups and downs for the Montreal Canadiens. They went from the Stanley Cup Final to being one of the worst teams in the league in less than six months. Well, the Christmas break is here, and the Canadiens could use some of Santa's magic to turn this awful season around and give them — and their fans — some hope. Here are some Christmas wishes the Habs would like Santa to help come true.
Canadiens Going on a Winning Streak
The Canadiens are the only team in the NHL who has yet to win more than one game in a row this season. With a record of 7-21-3, The Habs are the second-worst team in the NHL, yet even the worst team, the Arizona Coyotes, have won at least two games in a row. The Canadiens have had several losing streaks, which lasted more than two games, but no winning streaks as of yet. Head coach Dominique Ducharme has tried everything to get the team going, and nothing has worked. The Canadiens have played some good games in a row but could not play well enough to string any wins together.

Habs fans would enjoy a couple of wins in a row so that they can celebrate for more than a night or two. Canadiens fans shouldn't worry that the team is in a lose/win situation. If they keep only winning one out of three games, they have an excellent chance to get the first overall draft pick in an outstanding draft year, so not winning two in a row can't be all that bad this season.
Canadiens Players to Get Healthy
The season could be known as the Canadiens' worst season ever, or it could be known as the Canadiens' unhealthiest season ever. So far, they have had just about everyone on the injured reserve (IR), and now with a new COVID outbreak, several players have been put into COVID protocols. The season started with superstar goaltender Carey Price, forward Paul Byron and defencemen Joel Edmundson and Shea Weber on long-term injury reserve (LTIR). As the season went on, more players started getting injured, such as Josh Anderson, Tyler Toffoli, Jeff Petry, Mike Hoffman, Christian Dvorak, Matthieu Perrault, and Joel Armia.

Hoffman returned to play a couple of times, but is now in COVID protocol with Brendan Gallagher, Artturi Lehkonen, Sami Niku, and Laurent Dauphin. As you can see, the list is so long that even players called up from the Laval Rocket are on it. If the Canadiens could go a week without someone getting injured or falling sick, that would be one of their biggest wins of the season. Hopefully, some of the wounded will be ready to come back after the Christmas break. If the Habs can get anything from Santa, it would be to have a somewhat healthy team; if that happens, maybe the first wish I wrote about can come true.
Canadiens to Start Scoring
The Canadiens are not only having injury issues. They also are having scoring issues. So far this season, the highest-scoring player is Nick Suzuki with 18 points, and Anderson has the most goals with seven. The team is near the bottom of the league in almost all offensive categories: 31st in goals, 31st on the power play, 32nd in shooting percentage and 23rd in shots on goal.
Related: Are 2021-22 Canadiens the Worst Habs Team of All Time?
With players like Suzuki, Hoffman and young up-and-comer Cole Caufield, the Canadiens should have no problem scoring goals. Add on Toffoli, Gallagher and Anderson, and the Canadiens have several players who could score 20 goals or more. However, with the injuries and the inconsistent shooting the team has been plagued with, they will be lucky if they can get one 20-goal scorer. If Santa could give them better sticks or a targeting system, maybe they can start putting the pucks in the net.
Can Santa Deliver for the Canadiens?
The Canadiens have a tall order for Santa. They could use many things to turn their season around, and Santa may not have enough room on the sled. There is a way he could probably fix everything with one wish coming true. If the Canadiens can get healthy, their scoring could rise, and the wins will come, maybe even several in a row. So I guess there is only one wish the Canadiens need, and that's to get healthy. With COVID and all that's going on, everyone's health should be the biggest wish for anyone. Whatever Santa can do for the team will be greatly appreciated by everyone, and maybe, just maybe, there will be some hope in the air after the Christmas break. Until then, have a Merry Christmas and a safe holiday.

I have met Steve Lonegan. He is a fellow Republican and there are obvious areas of policy agreement. But many things trump party loyalty, with friendship being foremost among them.
I have known and loved Cory Booker for 21 years. Ever since he walked into our Jewish student facility in Oxford's ancient city center almost accidentally more than two decades ago on the Jewish festival of Simchas Torah, we have been soul friends. I was Rabbi to the students and he was an African-American Rhodes scholar. Within days we were studying Torah together several times a week and hosting other students at our "Kosher Soul Food" dinners that Cory made with my wife, Debbie, at our home. Within a year Cory was so popular among our thousands of student members that he became the first ever non-Jewish president of a major Jewish student organization, The L'Chaim Society at Oxford, which I had founded in 1989.
Inasmuch as I have written many articles about Cory and his relationship, as a Christian, with Judaism, there is no need to recount so many of the tales here that demonstrate what a special person he is. Suffice it so say that the attacks I am reading against him run utterly contrary to the truth.
What has always distinguished Cory, as I have always told him, is not his charisma, remarkable oratorical skills, or leadership qualities, impressive as they may be. Rather, it is his love for all of God's children. Cory was born with a unique sensitivity to the suffering of others. He has always placed himself among the underprivileged and those struggling to make ends meet. Even as a Rhodes scholar he would leave the ivory tower of Oxford academia and travel to Blackbird Leys, an economical depressed British housing estate, to organize programs for the youth. There were no press cameras on him and no votes to be had. Only his close friends knew of his work there.
The attacks on him about not caring enough about Newark are malicious and ignorant. Aside from all the positive information known to the public of how he has taken his city forward, there have been so many occasions that I have visited him privately in his office in Newark where he has been in the midst of conversations with underprivileged youth of the city whom he is mentoring. Criticism by his political adversaries about crime in Newark ignore the city's history prior to his taking office and the personal sacrifices he has made to keep all the residents of his city safe. A regular at Shabbat Friday night dinners at our home, there were endless occasions when he had to leave early with the Newark police so he could personally go out on patrols late at night to reduce crime, amid considerable risk to himself. How many other mayors can claim the same?
He has also been the most loving friend. When my daughter Mushki was getting married two years ago Cory called me and said, "Shmuley, I feel like your kids are my own. Please make the wedding on a night that I don't have city responsibilities. It's inconceivable that I would not be there." On the night of the wedding he was the first guest to arrive and danced up a storm.
The same was true for the celebrations of the birth of our three sons when a Jewish father is obligated to stay up the whole night studying Torah for spiritual protection before the circumcision-bris. Cory, a non-Jew facing his biggest exams as an Oxford student, stayed up with me the entire night and then repeated the exercise twice, first as a Newark councilman and then as a Mayoral candidate.
And, as a friend, he has so often agreed to participate in our organization's public events - obviously not earning a penny (indeed he's a financial supporter of our work to promote universal values, like having regular family dinners, in American society and culture). If he met wealthy donors at these events, he was always speaking to them about projects they could fund in Newark for the benefit of residents. Impressed as they were with his unbridled passion for his city, a great many got involved.
And how many times were we in his Suburban, driving through the city, when he would jump out of the car to personally meet residents who were just walking by, offering them his warm smile and hearing their concerns.
Those who now falsely attack Cory as more interested in his celebrity than people don't know the Oxford student who, at his graduation, was lovingly greeted by the middle-aged, mature students of Oxford whom the younger students ignored but Cory always befriended.
I am close with many leaders of the Republican party and I ran for Congress as a Republican. I believe in the party's message of dignity through self reliance, even as I have challenged the fixation on some of its social values. But in this age of hyper-partisanship it is incumbent upon us all to put principles before party, values before divisiveness, and truth over fiction.
Cory Booker is a special and unique man, a true friend, a devoted public servant, an inspiration to millions nationally, and someone who has taught me to be more caring of others. He will make the most incredible Senator for the residents of the state of New Jersey.

Over the last five years, UWSWMN has re-invested more than $2.3 million in the following areas: Health, Education and Financial Stability, Hunger and Safety & Well-Being. Last year alone, nearly 50,000 of our friends, family and neighbors benefitted from the United Way's internal programs and partnerships with community organizations.
This good work cannot continue without the support of our community. In less than two weeks, the United Way of Southwest Minnesota's annual campaign comes to a close and currently is $99,854.41 short of our campaign goal of $625,000 needed to support local programing and people in 2019-2020. If we are not able to correct this current shortfall, it will undoubtedly result in cutbacks in funding to programs on which are neighbors rely such as food shelves that in turn rely on the UWSWMN for support.

Chris Cornell dead at 52 But His Memories Will Remain Forever: "One Cover by Chris Cornell (U2 Music with Metallica Lyric)"
Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell has died at the age of 52, according to reports.
In a statement to the Associated Press, the singer's representative Brian Bumbery said Cornell died in Detroit while on tour on Wednesday night.
Bumbery reports that the death was "sudden and unexpected" and that the vocalist's family were in shock.
The statement goes on to say that the family would work closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause of death and have asked for privacy.
Cornell was born in 1964 in Seattle and formed Soundgarden in 1984. They went on to record six albums and had been working on their next record, which was expected to be released later this year.
Aside from Soundgarden, Cornell worked in various projects. In 1991, he, along with future Pearl Jam members Jeff Ament, Matt Cameron, Mike McCready and Stone Gossard formed Temple Of The Dog – releasing one album as a tribute to friend and late Mother Love Bone vocalist Andrew Wood.
In 2001, Cornell teamed up with Rage Against The Machine members Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk in supergroup Audioslave and released three albums. They split shortly after the launch of 2006's Revelations.
Cornell had also enjoyed a successful solo career, releasing four studio albums, his last being 2015's Higher Truth.

Abstract: We consider the ground state and the elementary excitations of an array of spin-Peierls chains coupled by elastic and magnetic interactions. It is expected that the effect of the magnetic interchain coupling will be to reduce the dimerization amplitude and that of the elastic coupling will be to confine the spin one-half solitons corresponding to each isolated chain. We show that this is the case when these interactions are not frustrated. On the other hand, in the frustrated case we show that the amplitude of dimerization in the ground state is independent of the strength of the interchain magnetic interaction in a broad range of values of this parameter. We also show that free solitons could be the elementary excitations when only nearest neighbor interactions are considered. The case of an elastic interchain coupling is analyzed on a general energetic consideration. To study the effect of the magnetic interchain interaction the problem is simplified to a two-leg ladder which is solved using DMRG calculations. We show that the deconfinement mechanism is effective even with a significantly strong antiferromagnetic interchain coupling.

Religious Freedom in the 2016 Election
By Benedictine College, October 12, 2015
As the political storm intensifies and churns, and in the wake of Pope Francis's message of the importance of religious freedom in America, more and more people are starting to consider religious liberty an important factor in their choice of presidential candidate.
We looked at what candidates Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Bernie Sanders have said about religious freedom in the past few months.
Trump said in an interview that while meeting with national security experts, he "learned that if you're a Christian living in Syria, you can't come into this country … We have Christians being beheaded all over the world by ISIS, in Syria and Iraq in particular, and those Christians can't come into this country. And that's a lack of respect for us … The Christians are being treated horribly because we have no one to represent the Christians. Believe me, if I run and I win, I will be the greatest representative that they've had in a long time."
In his latest book, One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future, Carson writes, "Whether or not one likes Christianity or any other religion is not the point. Our Constitutional Bill of Rights states that 'Congress can make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.' In other words, our government should not support particular denominations or religious groups, but neither should it prevent anyone from expressing their religion."
Rubio was instrumental in introducing the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act to Congress, which was passed in late September. Of the Act, Rubio said, "Religious freedom is under assault globally. Attacks on houses of worship, imprisonment and even death are daily realities for people of faith around the world. This is especially true for religious minorities in the Middle East who are facing genocidal onslaught. The Commission has been a steadfast champion of this 'first freedom' and a reliable voice for the oppressed and marginalized."
In an editorial he wrote for CNN just before the Pope's visit to America and Cuba, Rubio reemphasized his sentiment: "Religious freedom is often referred to as America's first freedom. Our country was founded by religious exiles and built on the belief that God has given all people certain inalienable rights. Government's role in society is to protect these rights and ensure that we are safe from religious persecution and discrimination."
When Fox News asked Fiorina about religious freedom, she responded, "It's clear that religious freedom is under assault in this country, which is why we have to put so much energy around protecting religious freedom."
She repeated her opinion in an interview with CNS News, saying, "I think that we must protect religious freedom with great passion and be willing to expend a lot of political capital to do so now, because it's clear religious freedom is under assault in many, many ways."
Speaking at the 2015 Faith and Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority Conference, Bush said, "My belief is that religious freedom is now under attack in ways that we've never seen before. Whether it's the Obama Administration, or just the general culture, it's important for us to recognize it's been a rough year for religious charities and their right of conscience in this country. There seems to be an attitude that when the prevailing government policy runs head-long into views of the faithful, the faithful must yield. I'm reminded of something Senator Clinton said, that when people that have religious beliefs run into conflict with the woman's right to choose, for example, the people that have religious conscience have to get over it, have to take a step back. Well, in a big, diverse country, we need to make sure we protect the right not just of having religious views but the right of acting on those views. Religious conscience is one of the first freedoms of our country … I'm betting that when it comes to doing the right and good thing, the Little Sisters of the Poor know better than the regulators of the department of Health and Human Services" Bush concluded with, "Christians around the world now are being targeted. As we pull back, and we don't stand up for religious freedom, then we see what happens," referring to ISIS and extremists.
Clinton hasn't spoken about religious freedom much, but she addressed the issue last week, briefly, to the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBT activist group, when she said that people are "denying service to LGBT customers under the guise of religious freedom."
Sanders likewise has not spoken much on the subject, but he did fight against Hobby Lobby in their Supreme Court case, and he stated that he believed the Indiana Religious Freedom law to be "a license to discriminate."
There are a lot of things to consider when choosing who to vote for – the defense and active promotion of religious liberty should be one of them.
While you're considering who to support in the upcoming election, join the Memorare Army and let your prayers help religious freedom until your vote can next year.
The Gregorian Institute is Benedictine College's initiative to promote Catholic identity in public life by equipping leaders (the Gregorian speech digest), training leaders (the Gregorian Fellows), defending the faith (the Memorare Army for Religious Freedom), and celebrating Catholic identity (the Catholic Hall of Fame).

Mechanisms of leukocyte production and release. XII. A comparative assay of the leukocytosis inducing factor (LIF) and the colony stimulating factor (CSF)
Hal Broxmeyer, G. van Zant, J. R. Zucali, J. LoBue, A. S. Gordon
Experiments are reported which suggest that separate physiologic regulators exist for neutrophil production and release. Sera obtained 2 hr post iv injection of 4.0 μg E. coli lipopolysaccharide contained both leukocytosis inducing factor (LIF) and colony stimulating factor (CSF) activity, whereas sera obtained 27 hr after the last of 2 and the last of 5 daily ip injections of 100.0 μg E. coli lipopolysaccharide demonstrated only LIF activity. Using the Etoxate test, it was established that neither LIF nor CSF activity could be attributed to endotoxin contamination of test sera.

Body Quotes
Diseases happen in acidic environments, so it's very important to keep your body alkaline. Keeping a diet high in leafy greens, spring water, fresh air, raw almonds, lemons, grapefruits, and warm water with juice from half a lemon helps lower acidity levels.
Bring Quotes
Vaccines don't cause autism. Vaccines, instead, prevent disease. Vaccines have wiped out a score of formerly deadly childhood diseases. Vaccine skepticism has helped to bring some of those diseases back from near extinction.
Obesity puts our children at risk of developing serious diseases - such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and depression. It keeps our children from performing their best at school.
Human Quotes
The stunning thing about the world as it is, is that we have a tremendously large problem in it: namely, one-third of all human deaths, 80-million every year from poverty-related causes, trivial diseases and so on, and stunningly, nobody is really paying attention to it.
Demand Quotes
Rising demand for animal products highlights microbiological risks, with animal-welfare measures sometimes creating new hazards. For example, open pens for poultry may increase the spread of communicable diseases like avian influenza.
Louise Fresco
Along Quotes
Left to their own devices, epidemic diseases tend to follow the same basic process: A virus or bacteria infects a host, who typically becomes sick and in many cases dies. Along the way, the host infects others.
Added Quotes
While eliminating smallpox and curtailing cholera added decades of life to vast populations, cures for the chronic diseases of old age cannot have the same effect on life expectancy. A cure for cancer would be miraculous and welcome, but it would lead to only a three-year increase in life expectancy at birth.
S. Jay Olshansky
Address Quotes
Science is one of the comparative advantages of our knowledge-based economy, and focusing on our prowess in providing better tools to address diseases of poverty is one of the best forms of foreign aid.
Seth Berkley
Obesity is awesome from a Wall Street perspective. It's not just one disease - there are all sorts of related diseases to profit from.
Anne Wojcicki
Allergy Quotes
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is an institute of the National Institutes of Health that is responsible predominantly for basic and clinical research in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of immunologic and infectious diseases.
Angeles Quotes
I support Children's Hospital of Los Angeles through Disney Channel and Britti Cares International in support of children with various diseases and illnesses and donate my time with pride and dignity.
Kyle Massey
Defeating Quotes
Retarding the aging process would be therapy and enhancement because it would mean defeating diseases and because it would extend our life span.
Gregory Stock
Based Quotes
Genome-based treatment, based on wider and cheaper availability of genome data, will provide new ways to customize the therapeutic protocol and enhance our control over diseases and medical treatment.
Nayef Al-Rodhan
Early Quotes
When I thought about having the greatest impact with my life, I thought about all the times people lose loved ones because diseases weren't detected early enough. I thought, 'I can play a role there.'
Moreover, health center services save money and lives by treating diseases before they become chronic conditions, require hospital care or require a trip to the emergency room.
Caused Quotes
In the real world, 90% of the money spent on medical research is focused on conditions that are responsible for just 10% of the deaths and disability caused by diseases globally.
Age Quotes
I think that protecting children at the age where they're most vulnerable against diseases that are highly contagious is prudent.
Across Quotes
People with water-borne diseases occupy more than 50% of hospital beds across the world. Does the answer lie in building more hospitals? Really, what is needed is to give them clean water.
Manoj Bhargava
Call Quotes
I think that there are cancers of the body, but I think they are what I would call cancer of the emotional system, too. These are the kind of diseases or illnesses or sicknesses of the emotional system that are as incurable as cancer.
Robert H. Schuller
The tremendous acquisition of basic knowledge will allow a much more rational treatment of cancer, viral infections, degenerative diseases and, most importantly, mental diseases.
Gunter Blobel
Brought Quotes
My mother was a nurse, and in her era, most diseases weren't understood; people put mustard plasters on knees and rubbed camphor on your chest if you had a cough and did funny things to you if you had tuberculosis - all these things that really made very little difference once proper treatments were brought in.
Barry Marshall
Close Quotes
We have lost close friends and relatives to cancer and Parkinson's disease, and the level of personal suffering inflicted on patients and their families by these diseases is horrific.
We are paying the price for living longer, collecting degenerative diseases along the way. Cancer is only one. Others are heart and brain diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinsons.
By the time I met Julia Child, her husband, Paul, was little more than a ghost of a man, so diminished by old age and its attendant diseases that it was impossible to discern the remarkable artist, photographer and poet he once had been.
The scientific community should work as hard as possible to address major issues that affect our everyday lives such as climate change, infectious diseases and counterterrorism; in particular, 'clean energy' research deserves far higher priority. And science and technology are the prime routes to tackling these issues.
Martin Rees
Collection Quotes
Cancer is a collection of many diseases with common principles, and each disease will have to be understood and more effectively controlled on its own terms.
Harold E. Varmus
Disease Quotes
Inflammation is the cornerstone of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis - all of the neurodegenerative diseases are really predicated on inflammation.
David Perlmutter
Guys Quotes
When I was doing 'Executive Orders,' I talked about Ebola to people who know about infectious diseases and their use as weapons of war, and guys told me that these weapons are more psychological than physical.
Chronic Quotes
I am not saying do not give people equal health services but do not pretend that giving more money for diabetes or chronic diseases means you are going to deal with the origins of health inequalities.
Beliefs Quotes
Most of us cluster somewhere in the middle of most statistical distributions. But there are lots of bell curves, and pretty much everyone is on a tail of at least one of them. We may collect strange memorabilia or read esoteric books, hold unusual religious beliefs or wear odd-sized shoes, suffer rare diseases or enjoy obscure movies.
Cell Quotes
Stem cell therapy has the potential to treat a multitude of diseases and illnesses, which up until now have been labelled 'incurable.'
Ahead Quotes
Americans think they're the leader of the world and yet can say that they're putting their economic interests ahead of the lives of - quite possibly - tens of millions of people who over the next 50 years will die because of floods or storms or tropical diseases or whatever. I guess that sort of thing makes me angry.
Adequate Quotes
If extreme poverty is allowed to increase, it will give rise to new problems, including new diseases that will spread from countries that cannot provide adequate healthcare to those that can. Poverty will lead to more migrants seeking to move, whether legally or not, to rich nations.
Conditions Quotes
We are preparing for the possibility of infectious diseases that could be spread under conditions of crowding in shelters,
Adult Quotes
There are currently 58 diseases that are being treated using adult stem cells so the issue of stems cells has a positive side, providing the cells are obtained ethically,
Josephine Quintavalle
Burden Quotes
Worldwide, the need for public health efforts to reduce the disease burden from infectious and emerging diseases is urgent and enormous.
Marc Schenker
We're starting to see young people with old people diseases. These diseases include hardening of the arteries, heart attacks, and diabetes.
David Wilson
Animals Quotes
There is a reduction in the diversity of breeds in order to have the fastest growth, and animals are becoming more susceptible to diseases because of the way they are bred and kept. The search for profits leads to animals and then humans becoming more vulnerable. Our current policies are encouraging farming that overlooks basic husbandry.
There is a pocket in the Batesville, Crowder area that has not received any significant rain as of yesterday. Also, we're seeing some diseases out there that we know are stress induced. Some of the plants had reached a point of no return. The time they were fixing to die coincided with the rain. We were in such bad a shape.
Environmental Quotes
There are environmental threats to health; there are internal threats to health - genetic conditions, viral threats, diseases like cancer and Parkinson's. And then there are societal and global ones, like poverty and lack of nutrition. And unknown viral threats - everything from a new kind of influenza to hemorrhagic fever.
Bill Maris
We hear much of Bolshevism, much of labor unrest; at times, we hear the word 'revolution.' But these are but contagious diseases in the body of civilization, and I believe that the antitoxins of good cheer, mutual confidence, fairness and justice will ultimately cure these ills and make the world healthy and strong again.
Charles M. Schwab
There are a lot of different diseases that look like CJD and it is so rare many doctors may never even see it in their years of practice. We don't have a lot of experience with it, so we're asking the CDC to review the cases where autopsies were not done to give us an expert opinion on whether they were likely CJD cases.
Tom Shanahan
Beginning Quotes
To prevent famine, one plow is worth a million sermons, and even patent medicines will cure more diseases than all the prayers uttered since the beginning of the world
Robert Ingersoll
We've never done anything on this scale before. This is a tremendous opportunity for us to treat one of the most disabling disfiguring diseases in the world.
We've never done anything on this scale before, ... This is a tremendous opportunity for us to treat one of the most disabling disfiguring diseases in the world.
Securing the long-term future of sustainable, welfare-friendly systems is essential if we are to build up over the longer-term livestock which are...resistant to the seemingly endless cycle of diseases that challenge our farming industry.
Patrick Holden
Aids Quotes
So many diseases that were once virtual death sentences, including AIDS and cancer, are now often chronic diseases.
Ken Johnson
Happened Quotes
Somebody like me doesn't get arthritis, doesn't get all the other diseases that come along. Well, it happened to me.
Donna Mills
Damage Quotes
Medicine has been successful by treating diseases in a very specific way once the damage is done. But telomere length integrates a lot of factors together and gives you an overall picture of risk for what is now emerging as a lot of diseases that tend to occur together, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Signs Quotes
Now there are more venereal diseases than there are signs of the zodiac.
Death Quotes
Natural disasters are terrible things, but what defines us is not what happens to us, but how we react to it. When you look at the number of people who die from the kind of diseases and poverty that the Gates and Bono are fighting, the death tolls are far greater than what occurs in natural disasters or wars.
Associated Quotes
One of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases is associated with mosquitoes West Nile virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis and St. Louis Encephalitis,
If we're soon going to be spending $100 billion a year, we'd better have treatments that work over a long period of time against diseases that are important today and will be more important tomorrow. If we don't know those conditions are satisfied, we can't judge whether we're getting our money's worth,
Caught Quotes
I have four different diseases I'm being treated for, and I got lucky. I caught it fairly early. Neurologically, it does stuff to people. It's really nasty.
Access Quotes
I became involved in helping those with arthritis - and those with other diseases that could benefit from access to self-injected medications - because I strongly believe people suffering from these illnesses should have access to the best medical care available today.
Kent Conrad
Based on the statistics, most of the charges saying that obesity caused various diseases or that obesity caused thousands of deaths were simply not supported.
Eric Oliver
I have mixed feelings about how fast things are changing as a result of technology. There's no denying that through technology there are amazing things being created that help people with diseases or help people's dreams come true. But there's also this obsession. Social media is the most dangerous of them all.
Cause Quotes
I feel for those people evacuated in Cincinnati, ... They say it doesn't cause any long-term illnesses, but who knows. There are a lot of modern diseases doctors can't explain.
Dorothy Brown
Point Quotes
I can't sit here and tell you today what diseases we're going to treat as a result of this research. All I can tell you is that we're never going to get to that point unless we can do the research.
Among Quotes
Great writers arrive among us like new diseases threatening, powerful, impatient for patients to pick up their virus, irresistible.
Craig Raine
Ability Quotes
Funding that is focused on the ability to diagnose diseases precisely will just have inestimable value because that's the gate through which precision medicine has to go. Unless you can diagnose the disease precisely, care has to remain in the hands of expensive institutions and expensive caregivers.
Alone Quotes
I don't think we have enough information based on this study alone to justify that sort of recommendation. I think the take-away message is that low vitamin D levels are not desirable. This doesn't just relate to lung function. A low vitamin D level is linked to bone disease, and an association has been suggested between low vitamin D levels and other diseases such as diabetes and coronary heart disease. The commonest reason for having a low vitamin D level is avoidance of sun exposure. While excessive sun exposure can cause damage to the skin, it is not desirable to completely avoid sun exposure if one is to maintain normal vitamin D levels.
Peter Black
Analyzing Quotes
We're pleased to extend our collaboration which combines our strengths in analyzing and understanding genetic variation associated with multiple common diseases with Merck's extensive knowledge of the biology underlying neurodegenerative diseases and its global leadership in the development of innovative therapeutics. This target validation program is one example of the value we're able to provide our therapeutic partners worldwide; other examples include identifying individuals who may benefit most from early therapeutic treatment and predict those individuals who will best respond to new therapies.
Thomas White
Carry Quotes
There are several patients - there are thousands of patients, tens of thousands of patients, that carry either a stimulator in the brain or in the periphery, in the inner ear, to restore neurological functions or to control diseases like Parkinson's disease.
Miguel Nicolelis
Answer Quotes
There aren't a lot of diseases where we can point to and say we have an answer today that we didn't have a decade ago.
Anywhere Quotes
Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the twentieth century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.
Controlled Quotes
Just think for how long humanity was controlled by mystical, magical thinking - the diseases and suffering that led to. We managed to survive, but just barely. It wasn't pretty.
Lacrosse is like one of those diseases that comes through the family and infects everybody. It caught every one of us.
Ted Wolford
Brain Quotes
I think it's one of the most devastating diseases on the planet. It robs you of the person one memory, one moment, one brain cell at a time.
Judy McKellar
It is obvious from this survey that Americans are uninformed when it comes to their susceptibility to chronic diseases as they age. Our society is both aging and living longer. Unfortunately, life after age 65 for most people means an increasing risk of developing age-related chronic diseases.
Daniel Perry
Looked Quotes
I think that some people looked for a scapegoat because we lost to Sunderland, and thats one of the diseases in football,
I was lucky to not have caught any sexual diseases , even though I worked without condoms for two years .
Ironically, these rains bring little respite. While they have alleviated the immediate need for water, there is increased risk of people falling sick from drinking contaminated water, while livestock deaths have continued because the animals are too weak and vulnerable to diseases such as pneumonia when temperatures drop at night.
Tesema Negash
Becoming Quotes
Paradoxically Americans are becoming both more obese and more nutrient deficient at the same time. Obese children eating processed foods are nutrient depleted and increasingly get scurvy and rickets, diseases we thought were left behind in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Mark Hyman
Our costliest health care problems -- in both economic and human measures -- are related to chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes. We know that many of the lifestyle choices we make every day can prevent or delay the onset of these diseases. Employers are learning that the more they help employees determine their health risks and the more opportunities they provide employees to make better choices, the greater the rewards -- a healthier, more productive workplace.
Gregg Lehman
Right now people are interested in genetic engineering to help the human race. That's a noble cause, and that's where we should be heading. But once we get past that - once we understand what genetic diseases we can deal with - when we start thinking about the future, there's an opportunity to create some new life-forms.
Jack Horner
Happening Quotes
Research in neglected diseases is happening and partnerships are working away on new products.
Diet Quotes
Researchers are finding more evidence that diet early in life could play a role in the development of diseases in women later in life,
Stem cell research is one of the greatest opportunities to improve the human condition. California will be America's leader in stem cell research, which will not only benefit the tremendous need of people suffering from debilitating diseases and conditions, but will also help the California economy immeasurably.
Eli Broad
Many diseases can be prevented or improved by personal lifestyle choices, ... Lifestyle Ladder will identify the specific health risks an employee faces, and give that individual the education and support needed to address those risks and improve their health.
Matt Blunt
African Quotes
It is doubly important for African American women to pay attention to heart disease and stroke risk factors because the prevalence of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases is 44.7 percent for African American women compared to 32.4 percent in white women. We want women to know their risk factors and support each other in making the right choices everyday to reduce their risks.
Anjanette Ferris
Addiction Quotes
That would make addiction more inheritable than diseases we commonly think of as genetic, such as adult onset diabetes or common hypertension.
Eric Nestler
Action Quotes
We can stop this global epidemic of chronic diseases if we take preventative action now. We estimate that 388 million people in the world are expected to die from chronic diseases in the world in the next 10 years, and everywhere the poor are the hardest hit.
Aware Quotes
Today, through the overuse of antibiotics, many of our most deadly diseases are showing significant resistance to our best line of defense antibiotics. It's critical that we find new ways to combat these diseases and ensure that doctors and patients are aware of the impact of over-prescribing on increasing antimicrobial resistance.
Bill Frist
Itch Quotes
Three diseases without shame: Love, itch and thirst.
Irish Sayings
Sports Quotes
Though sporting a hideous mustache is in no way comparable to the physical pain and mental suffering men with these diseases endure, Movember still forces participants to challenge their manhood on a daily basis. Growing a moustache for men's cancer isn't as feel-good an activity as running a marathon for a cure.
David Sax
Activities Quotes
There are other ways diseases move around the world.It could be that wildlife introduced the virus, but through our own activities of commerce, the disease spread.
Juan Lubroth
We are looking at an emergence of new diseases and a resurgence of old diseases, and redistribution of old diseases on a global scale.
Aim Quotes
We recognize that many diseases we aim to treat have a strong genetic component. Additionally, we know some patients taking medicines show efficacy or experience side-effects, while others do not. Our understanding of all this has improved greatly but these areas remain as significant challenges in drug development.
John LaMattina
Affect Quotes
There is a very pervasive misunderstanding that chronic diseases affect only wealthy men in wealthy countries.
Buried Quotes
Those other diseases didn't simply go away. They tended to be buried in at-risk populations who were the poorest and most marginalized.
Admission Quotes
This study provides strong evidence that daily hospital admission rates for cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases are higher when the fine particulate matter levels are increased from one day to the next.
Francesca Dominici
Emotional Quotes
This stimulation is similar to the way the nervous system normally increases heart function when triggered by emotional or exercise stress, or in diseases such as heart failure,
David Kass
Today, one of the most important means of spreading diseases around the globe is air travel.
David Heymann
Adverse Quotes
The real primary diseases of man are such defects as pride, cruelty, hate, self-love, ignorance, instability and greed; and each of these, if considered, will be found to be adverse to Unity.
Child Quotes
There are many other pediatric eye diseases as well that, if they are detected early, are preventable. Not one child should lose their eyesight.
Hunter Tylo
There are many other examples. West Nile virus spread from insects to humans; the avian flu we are now so worried about comes from birds. Diseases also jump to domesticated animals such as cows - the human variant of 'mad cow disease', from rodents, and from many different species.
Stanley Lemon
Affecting Quotes
When people think of the diseases affecting children most frequently, they often think of things like obesity or asthma. But dental disease is now the single most common chronic disease of childhood, and is seriously impairing the quality of life for thousands of children in California each year. That not only hurts our children, it hurts all of us.
Astrology Quotes
To the medical man, astrology is invaluable in diagnosing diseases and prescribing a remedy, for it reveals the hidden cause of all ailments.
Max Heindel
The problem is that people don't see these diseases and think they no longer exist. These viruses and diseases are still circulating around the world and are just a plane ride away, and they will return if we don't keep our vaccination rates up.
