Human bones grow continually from birth till our mid 20's. Our skeleton's bone mass is at its maximum density around the age of 30.
Oh my aching back! Most of us will say this several times over the course of our lifetime. Sometimes it's a chronic issue, a deep nagging ache that impacts daily activities. Other times, it's sudden and acute and amazingly painful, the result of a "wrong move" from lifting a small child, unloading groceries, or working around the yard. Back pain affects up to 80% of Americans annually and is the leading cause of disability worldwide.
Back muscles attach to the spine, neck, shoulders, ribs and hips, which means that nearly every movement requires use of the very muscles designed to support and protect the spine. When we experience pain, it's typically from a combination of factors: structural, lifestyle, work, stress, and previous or repetitive injuries.
To receive the terrific benefits of this vegetable, include it in your diet several times a week-an optimal amount would be about 6-10 cups a week. Be careful not to overcook these greens or you'll wind-up with a rotten egg odor, not to mention pungent-tasting collard greens.
For cooking, slice thin strips of the greens, rinse and drain; then proceed to steam or sauté. When adding chopped collard greens to a favorite vegetable or meat-based soup/stew, stir the steamed greens in during the final minutes of cooking. You can also add collard greens to spaghetti sauce or to a vegetable lasagna recipe, in place of spinach. For a flavorful side dish, sauté collard greens with yellow onions and fresh garlic (or shallots). For a zesty salsa, combine cooked collard greens with fresh tomatoes, onions, green peppers, and jalapenos.
A traditional Southern embellishment to soups, stews, and entrées, collard greens provide an impressive array of key vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, K, C, the B-vitamin folate, iron, calcium, and manganese. These nutrients play an important role in protecting our cells from damage and supporting the body's natural processes for controlling inflammation. Collard greens tend to be less expensive than other cruciferous vegetables so you can really get a nutritious bang for your buck. It's best to buy organic greens to avoid contamination from insecticides, an issue with conventionally grown produce.
Shake up your usual selection of healthy green veggies by sauteing collards and spinach. The robust "bite" of sauteed collards is complemented by milder spinach. Sunflower oil adds a delicate nutty flavor that pairs nicely with the garlic and lemon in this recipe.
In a large pot or pan, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat for about 7 min. Add sliced garlic and saute for 5 min stirring frequently. Add the fresh collard greens, spinach and water; saute, stirring frequently, until wilted – about 10-15 min. depending on desired tenderness. Remove from heat and add salt, pepper, and olive (or flax) oil. Squeeze the lemon/lime over the top of the greens and mix well.
There are different types of magnesium (e.g., citrate, glycinate) and various forms (pill, powder, liquid). Some forms may be better suited to different types of health issues. If you are concerned about magnesium deficiency due to dietary habits or physical symptoms, consult with your holistic practitioner to select the right type of magnesium supplement. Some forms of magnesium are poorly absorbed, so won't provide therapeutic benefit, and other forms can cause changes in bowel movements. If you are interested in discovering which nutrients- vitamins, minerals and antioxidants your body is deficient in, take a look at this micronutrient level test.
Devil's Claw is indigenous to southern Africa where, for thousands of years, tribes prepared the herb as an internal remedy for migraine and gastrointestinal problems and to reduce fever. Salves were also prepared to heal skin conditions. Today, Devil's Claw is a scientifically validated remedy for pain and inflammation associated with degenerative joint conditions and back pain, as well as arthritis-related pain, fibromyalgia, and headaches. A key compound called harpagoside inhibits chemicals in the body that create inflammation.
A key benefit of Devil's Claw is that it's safe and has few to no side effects for most people. Clinical trials have found Devil's Claw as effective as many prescription drugs. It has been found effective for relief of knee and hip pain associated with osteoarthritis – as much as a 35% improvement after eight weeks of treatment. Other studies have shown taking standardized extract of devil's claw provides moderate relief for mild-to-moderate back, neck, or shoulder muscle pain. In a study of chronic low back pain, men and women who took Devil's Claw every day for a month reported less pain and needed fewer painkillers than those who took a placebo (sugar pill).
Devil's Claw is available in tea and capsule form, as well as tincture and extract. Different forms are more suitable to different health concerns. Devil's Claw is not recommended during pregnancy as it may stimulate uterine contractions. Also, Devil's Claw can interact with other medications. It's important to talk with your personal physician before taking this herb.
A mind-body practice, Yoga combines physical poses called asanas, breathing exercises, and guided meditation in a session that is typically 75-minutes long. For many people, yoga is an effective way to reduce inflammation, relieve stress and muscle tension, and change habitual posture patterns that result in back pain.
While there are many styles of Yoga to choose from, Restorative Yoga is especially good for individuals with back pain because of its focus on supported poses rather than physical exertion through a sequence of poses. Restorative Yoga uses props – blocks, chairs, bars, cushions or blankets – to facilitate gentler movement of the body and proper alignment of joints and muscles. A Restorative Class makes yoga accessible to people with a wide range of physical challenges including arthritis, fibromyalgia, cancer and Multiple Sclerosis. When looking for a Restorative Class, ask about the instructor's certifications, as specialized training is necessary to teach classes for people experiencing chronic pain.
Recent studies conducted in the U.S., India, and the U.K. showed that over a 6-12 month period, practicing yoga reduced pain and enhanced functional ability in people with chronic non-specific lower back pain. Those practicing yoga were compared to groups who did not exercise at all, which is common among people with back pain. In another large study in the U.S., people who practiced yoga in weekly 75-min. classes had better back movement, used less pain medicine, and participants with moderate back pain experienced a reduction in pain symptoms. Also, there is compelling evidence that yoga and similar mind-body practices not only change physical patterns in the body, but also change the brain gray matter patterns associated with chronic pain. The National Institutes of Health recognizes yoga and similar mind-body practices for their protective effects on the mind, brain, and body.

Imagine Christmas without Dickens A Christmas Carol? Bah Humbug! According to Les Standiford book, The Man Who Invented Christmas, the holiday as we know it—not the religious holiday but the way we celebrate it on a secular level—was all but collapsing before the great writer breathed new life into it with his now Christmas classic.
'The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution. It was a harsh and dreary age, in desperate need of spiritual renewal, ready to embrace a book that ended with blessings for one and all.
The movie based on the book stars Dan Stevens as Dickens struggling to write his Christmas classic and bringing his creation Scrooge (Christopher Plummer) to life.
Is it a little schmaltzy? Maybe. But if we ever needed a little Christmas, I'd say we need it this year more than ever. The Man who Invented Christmas is set for release on November 22 here in the states, December 1 in the UK.

Does insistence on college degree overlook those with on-the-job skills?
The upward mobility once possible for workers who learned their skills on the job is now limited to those with college degrees BRANT SANDERLIN/BSANDERLIN@AJC.COM
Get Schooled Blog | Dec 18, 2020
By Maureen Downey, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Labor economists say push for education credentials ignores workers who gained valuable skills outside of a classroom
Labor economist Anthony Carnevale stepped outside the lexicon of science to summarize the dizzying expansion of education and training credentials, including industry certificates, diplomas, apprenticeships, degrees, certifications, licenses and digital badges. "We have credentialed the bejesus out of our economy," he said.
Americans earned 738,428 education credentials of some sort in 2018. Among them were 370,020 credentials from education institutions, 315,067 from non-academic organizations and 7,132 from massive open online courses or MOOCs, according to Scott Cheney, founding chief executive officer of Credential Engine, a nonprofit seeking to create credential transparency.
There is no standard or easily accessible way to weight the value and integrity of all these credentials and whether they pay off, according to experts at the Education Writers Association's recent seminar, "Pathways to Good Jobs — Higher Ed's Changing Role in Upward Mobility."
Cheney defines credentials as "everything that an individual is trying to use to convey their knowledge, skills and abilities, their capabilities in the marketplace." A new report Credential Engine will release in February will show there are nearly a million unique credentials in this country for which Americans spent more than $1.9 trillion to obtain.
"Not all credentials are created equally," said Amy Loyd, Jobs for the Future vice president of programs. Her organization is working to identify high-value credentials and quality training programs and connect displaced and underemployed workers with them.
What you choose to study matters, as does the institution issuing the credential, said Loyd. Geography is also a factor. "Even looking at something like nursing degrees from three different institutions in three different states led to first-year earnings that ranged from $26,000 to $61,000," she said.
"It is extremely difficult for employers to sort through thousands and thousands of different credentials," said economist Byron Auguste, president and co-founder of the nonprofit group Opportunity@Work. "They come from all different sources. And some of those credentials have local value. But there are only a handful, maybe 30, that really have consistent market value."
Employers have pushed more and more workers to seek academic credentials because of their hiring practices, said Auguste. "As a matter of convenience, employers have chosen to have one very predominant method of screening: Do you have a bachelor's degree?" said Auguste, who served for two years in the Obama White House as deputy assistant to the president for economic policy and deputy director of the National Economic Council.
The upward mobility once possible for workers who learned their skills on the job is becoming limited to those educated in a college classroom, said Auguste. A generic bachelor's degree requirement is routinely applied to jobs that people are doing very well without degrees, he said.
For example, Auguste said 75% of job listings today for administrative assistants insist on a bachelor's degree. Yet, only a third of the people in those jobs now hold a degree. "So, two-thirds of administrative assistants today can't apply for three-quarters of the jobs in their field," he said.
Why do employers do this? "The answer is because it is easy," said Carnevale, director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.
Faced with increased competition from Japan and Germany in manufacturing in the early 1980s, American companies looked at their production line workers, most of whom had only attended high school, and didn't see the agility and flexibility demanded in automation and innovation. "They were looking for a new set of skills, and they simply began to hire people who had more education than high school," said Carnevale.
"Employers say they want skills, but they hire for degrees," said Auguste. Now, regardless of a worker's skills, he said, "If you don't have this expensive-to-get college credential that you typically get in privileged settings, employers will not consider you for a career path job where they will invest behind you." That is a system that is going to create tremendous inequality, said Auguste.
And it has, according to Carnevale. Lower-income children with high test scores have a 30% chance of making it through a four-year college and into a good job by age 28, he said. Comparatively, low-scoring students from high-income households have a 70% chance of ending up with good job by age 28.
"This is a solvable problem," said Auguste. "Employers need to stop requiring a generic bachelor's degree as a prerequisite to the job."
Consider that most small businesses lack IT departments, but someone is doing that job, perhaps a receptionist or an office manager, said Auguste. Yet, if that person tried to take those skills and apply for a first-rung IT job, their lack of degree would shut them out of consideration, he said.
"Call it pedigree bias," said Auguste. "There is a lot higher education needs to do, but it absolutely cannot do it without a change in how employer demand is signaled."
Employers used to expect workers to come out of school training-ready with general skills. The workplace itself provided the specific training for the job. Now, Carnevale said, "Industry is aggressively demanding that the education system provide people with these skills on day one. We are relying on education to do the job."

Agro Block plans to expand into a number of new markets to meet rising demand for sustainable products.
Lars Carstensen, Managing Director of Agro Block Handel og Service ApS.
According to Managing Director Lars Carstensen of Agro Block Handel og Service ApS, a Denmark based manufacturer of planters from recycled material, the company is planning for cross-border expansion. "We are looking into expanding to a number of countries through partnerships with local corporations.", says Lars Carstensen and he continues: "The need for sustainable products like the ones Agro Block provides is global and knows no borders. Therefore the products must be available in all corners of the world."
The planning is in its final stages and already the first partnerships are underway. "We are met with a huge interest in our recycled products, because we produce premium products at a reasonable price", says Lars Carstensen.
For Agro Block the presentation of the planters in physical stores is important. Therefore the search for partners within import, distribution and retail has begun. Agro Block will release a statement at a later time with information on which market(s) will be first.
Agro BlockHandel og Service ApS is a Denmark based manufacturer of planters from recycled material. Agro Block's products are for sale on Amazon in the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy and France. Furthermore they are for sale at a number of retailers in Denmark.


Investing in a CRM should allow your business to improve on its customer service, marketing efforts and sales opportunities. However, simply implementing the software won't revolutionise your business. It's important that the CRM users know how to fully utilise the software and that the business is making the most of its automated processes to boost productivity and drive the business forward.
Understand how a CRM should benefit your business but you don't seem to be reaping those benefits? We've put together a list of things you can implement / change or test to get the most out of your CRM.
Without training and knowledge of the software's complete capabilities, it'll be impossible for your team to use the CRM to its full potential. Training doesn't always have to be for new users either. Often, when you first begin using a new software, you're bombarded with all the features and functionalities that it offers, and it can be a minefield to remember everything. So, it can usually be an advantage to have regular training sessions through the year to build on core skills. Once the team know the fundamentals, using the advanced features can sometimes take extra training sessions, so it's worth keeping on top of a training plan. Plus, business software programs are usually continually developed, so there may be new features that are released that are worth knowing and using.
For maximum effectiveness from your CRM there need to be company wide rules and guidelines that make the data uniform. For example, if you target the janitorial sector and you profile your customers based on their business type, the data will be disorganised if the key that everyone uses to segment customers is different. If one of the sectors you target is hotels, for instance, and sometimes people use the key: HTL but others use: HOT, then reports and analysis of the data will never be accurate.
Guidelines also need to be set based on processes and how the workload is managed. How do you make note of when to call customers, when do sales get involved in the marketing campaigns, what's the target of calls to be made a day, is everyone utilising the calendar in the same way?
Answering these questions and setting guidelines will ensure the whole team is working from the same place, making your data accurate and reliable.
With full visibility of your customer information, buying habits and sales reps figures, it's important to take advantage of the facts and figures presented to you in software. Without analysing the data and comparing it to past figures or viewing it against your goals, it'll be difficult to see if your CRM is helping you to achieve your aims and if there are any further areas for improvement.
Spotting weaknesses in your processes isn't a negative, it gives you the control to make improvements. To ensure you're on the right track, regularly plan to review your current processes, check back with your initial goals and set future tasks for improvement so you're constantly striving for the best results.
Analysing your customer data will not only give you the opportunity to improve company processes but it also gives you the opportunity to spot customer trends that will allow you to make better marketing and sales decisions. This information can provide you with marketing campaign ideas, better information for your sales reps when they're out visiting customers and buying trends for up-sell or promotion opportunities. Plan to pull regular reports, or create a reporting dashboard that will allow all managers across the sales, support and marketing teams to view the same data to set tasks and goals moving forward.
A good CRM software will allow all departments within your business to communicate effectively. It will provide a platform for team collaboration that can inspire ideas and open sales opportunities. Communications between your customers and any member of the business will be automatically stored in your CRM, giving all your team full visibility of the customer's journey including emails, phone calls, calendar appointments, marketing campaigns etc. Marketing, sales, and support can all access the same valuable information to improve customer service, help secure sales deals and ultimately improve the bottom line.
Are you using your CRM to its full potential so that all departments have total visibility of the data? A CRM should make collaboration easy and make the teams within your company function better as one in working towards the same goal.
No matter how long you've had your CRM system installed, it's always worth reviewing your current processes to see if you're getting the most out of your investment. Sometimes, it can simply involve checking that all staff members are using the company guidelines, making sure reports are regularly pulled and that all CRM users are fully trained to get the most out of your CRM.
However, if you find your CRM is creating limitations for your business and it's holding you back, it may be time to upgrade. If the software can't handle your growing database or it's not sophisticated enough in its reporting, or the system doesn't supply you with the functionality you need for your industry, it may be time to review what other CRM options are available in the market.
If you're a distributor, wholesaler or stockist looking for a complete ERP solution with fully integrated CRM, warehouse and stock management, finance and accounting plus digital integration options for your expanding eCommerce business, prof.ITplus may be the complete solution you're searching for.

I've used both wired and wireless mice in my computing lifetime. Since I switched to wireless, however, I've been much happier not worrying about the length of my cord, getting tangled with my other peripherals, or using up precious USB ports. My best investment was Apple's Magic Mouse, which is designed specifically for Mac and works like a mini trackpad. There are other great options out there, too. If you don't like the flat design of the Magic Mouse, check out the rest of our favorites below.
Also known as the Triathalon Mouse, Logitech's low-cost, high-powered wireless mouse is a great mid-range product. It's called the Triathalon Mouse because it has three Bluetooth device connections so you can use it with your iMac Pro at home, your MacBook Pro on the go, and your PC at work.
This vertical mouse has been specifically designed to relieve pain caused by resting your hand incorrectly on a traditional mouse. Its design positions your arm in its natural resting angle to improve comfort and help correct bad computer posture.
Logitech's G602 is the best wireless mouse for clicking with the speed and efficiency needed to get through the toughest dungeon, beat the baddest boss, or out-skill the most talented sporting opponent.
SteelSeries makes an impeccable gaming mouse with nearly zero lag, pinpoint accurate crosshair placement, and the lowest lift-off detection around. Its buttons and weight balance is highly customizable for even the pickiest gamer.
If you're just looking for a basic mouse with no bells-and-whistles, and you don't want to pay a lot for it, Amazon makes a solid, simple mouse with no frills. It also costs less than a large pizza.
Apple designed the Magic Mouse to work seamlessly with the Mac. Its multitouch surface lets you perform gestures like swiping to move between pages or scroll through websites, double-tapping with one finger to zoom, double-tapping with two fingers to call up Mission Control, and more.
There are all different types of mice on the market for every type of user. I find the MX720 to be the most well-rounded with great features at a great price, thought the Magic Mouse is truly perfect for gesture-based mousing around on the Mac.

Isn't she just! Clearly having a good time, too.
How is DDD Fishy one?
In deep mourning because her people have abandoned her to die alone in the wilderness… Except when she is on a walk, during which she is fine. She is at the moment refusing to eat because the food (which is the same in every respect as the food she has been getting at home, and from the same bowl) is clearly Poison, but that won't last. She will get hungry eventually.
Puir wee scone. She will quit the Greyfriars Bobby schtick quite soon, I suspect (and hope). Meanwhile it's miserable for you, a bit, watching her being Sad Abandoned Dog at you when she is more welcome than flowers in May.
Get a grip, DDD. There is a cave wherein reposes an magnificent hoard of cardboard boxes. Just sayin'.
However, she has just literally this minute decided that food is a necessary evil, which is a relief. Crunch, crunch, crunch. And I have remembered to take out of the freezer the mutton-bone which has been waiting for her, so that will probably help her aching soul to heal.
Yon Poodle seems to be a lot more sensible!
Yon Poodle has grown accustomed, from an early age, to People Less Worthy Than Her Chosen Ones, Fishers. Her Preferred Ones both w#rk full-time (one of them from home) and both of the buggas do shifts and training sessions for a charity. Poodle just gets on wivvit only partly because of her sunny (but not daft) personality. And also because her Dog-Minder is Great. After her Beloveds leave the hive and she is stuck with us, she exudes Sadness, but not for long. I miss her dreadfully (honestly) but she won't be missing me.
Anyhoo, I wish That Hound time to get used to stuff and that you enjoy her sojourn, Fishers. I think that Poodles are easier, in a way, as they are natural 'cuddlers' and will press themselves against you, at any given opportunity.
Tomorrow, we'll be off to East Lothian to have lunch with DD, Sis and their respective spouses. This is a part of the mahoosive birthday celebrations for March, with SiL being 40 on the 28th, DS being 30 on the 29th and BiL being 60 on the 30th. We have presents to offer and look forward to a good celebration. Without That Poodle (sadly) as she'll be with the Dog Minder, and won't give a hoot about any one ovvus, I suspect.
I hope that you enjoy this pan-festive occasion!
an Bee should be buzzed in by drones and acolytes and with due ceremony. I do hope protocol izz beeing obzerved.
We usually meet BristoI for1 night needing 2 rooms.It was their idea to rent a cottage.
There should be 9 ovvus, so cheaper than 5 rooms in an Hotel for 2 nights.
It was planned for earlier in the year, but waiting to hear about Victor's funeral scuppered that.
It was an accident on his part but I really don't recommend getting a cat claw hooked into your nose. Nostril. Inside. But it is funny how tears stream from the eye on just the one side.
You know what? I am going to bed.
How is the Gusly sneck this morning?
I'll await this with Queenly anticipation, Gus. Meanwhile, I'll have a shower. Oh, the fresh breeze forecast for today has morphed into 40 mph winds.
I know I am spoilt for nice fresh breezes here - them as have had no manners put on them by land!
g'wan then, you can do better than that yer big wimp.
And I even gave the Hairy Fool breakfast just as usual.
Strangely quiet: no wind at the moment. I like it, Carruthers.
It is definitely windy here. And I have the perfect hat for dogwalking in it: Finnish, felt, close to the head and over the ears so the wind can't catch it.
Can I find it? Can I hellaslike. My ears are still cold, and may be for an hour yet for all I know.
On return I gave DDD the mutton-bone which had been waiting in the freezer after a Big Roast and thawing overnight, and have persuaded her after a certain amount of discussion of the matter that the place to eat it is on the kitchen floor on a mat which can be picked up and put in the washeen, rather than on the best carpet in the main room. Her being there to eat it has the good effect of keeping a muddy dog off the carpet, too. She is drying nicely and cleaning as I type.
NO trouble from back or hip today, so far, hurrah!


Military programs are governed by federal law, Department of Defense policy and additional policies specific to the branches of service. Below are excerpts from federal laws that govern the Spouse Education and Career Opportunities program in the military.

The Brontës - 100 Years On TV Times, 29th September - 5th October, 1973
Working from contemporary pictures, in particular Branwell Brontë's famous portrait of his three sisters, and descriptions written at the time, Mary Griffiths, Yorkshire TV's make-up supervisor, set about bringing the Brontës back to life.
The Rev Patrick Brontë (Alfred Burke, far left). Mrs Gaskell, contemporary biographer of the Brontë family, said of the girls' father: "Even in his old age, Mr Brontë is a striking-looking man, above the common height, with a nobly-shaped head and erect carriage." Later, she wrote: "He is a tall, fine-looking old man with silver bristles all over his head."
"Alfred Burke," says Mary Griffiths, "was so obviously right for the part that he really didn't present any enormous make-up problems. He has to age from a man in his late 40's over a period of 30 years, so apart from lining his face, he had three different wigs to help him.
Charlotte Brontë (Vickery Turner, far left). In 1850, after meeting Charlotte for the first time, Mrs Gaskell wrote: "The little lady worked away and hardly spoke. She is, as she calls herself, under-developed, thin, more than half a head shorter than I am, with soft brown hair, not very dark eyes - very good and expressive, looking straight and open at you - a large mouth, the forehead square, broad and rather over-hanging."
"Charlotte," says Mary Griffiths, "was 4ft, 9in., whereas Vickery Turner is 5ft, 2in., but that was a problem for the wardrobe department. Vickery is a lot like Branwell's painting of Charlotte, we had little to do."
Emily Brontë (played by Rosemary McHale, far left). Ellen Nursey, a family friend, wrote of Emily: "She was the tallest, except for her father. Her hair was naturally as beautiful as Charlotte's, but it was worn in the same unbecoming light curls and frizz. There was the same want of complexion. She had very beautiful eyes, but she did not often look at you."
"I didn't reproduce Emily's bad complexion," syas Mary Griffiths, "I don't think you can go to the extent of putting spots on people's faces. Rosemary McHale looked right for the part without heavy make-up. She has a couple of wigs, one to resemble Emily in the portrait by Branwell (left) and another with ringlets."
Anne Brontë (played by Ann Penfold, far left). "Anne, dear gentle Anne," wrote Ellen Nursey, "was quite different in appearance from the others. Her hair was a very pretty light brown. She had lovely violet blue eyes, fine pencilled eyebrows, almost transparent complexion."
"We did not change the colour of Ann Penfold's eyes, which are hazel," says Mary Griffiths. "Apart from wigs there was very little that was needed to be done. Both Anne and Emily grow ill; this we dealt with by user paler and paler make-up. The important thing with all three girls was to keep the fragile look of the period; to stress the points of similarity, and minimise features less similar."
Branwell Brontë (played by Michael Kitchen, far left). Branwell Brontë's friend, Frances Grundy, said of him: "He was almost insignificantly small - one of life's trials. He had a mass of red hair which he wore brushed off his forehead to help his height, I fancy. He had a great, bumpy, intellectual forehead, small ferrety eyes, deep sunk and still further hidden by spectacles, a prominent nose but weak lower features."
"This unflattering description hardly applied to Michael Kitchen," says Mary Griffiths, "but once we dyed his hair and eyebrows red we had made a start. We didn't use a lot of make-up to produce that 'great bumpy forehead', because Michael would have to live with that while he was acting. Anyway, people end up gazing at what has been done in the make-up room instead of listening to what the actor is saying. Our main aim in make-up was to create an illusion, which we have done.
"In his decline through drink, drugs and tuberculosis, Branwell changes. There is a description of his sunken eyes 'glaring with the light of madness', and Branwell himself told how he had five months of 'utter sleeplessness' with a violent cough. We changed the flesh tints, making them paler, reddened his eyes and put heavier shadows around them. With opium poisoning, apparently, you have vivid lips and cold, clammy skin. That was easy enough for us to reproduce."

Oak Titmouse
In birds
Oak Titmouse in Iochroma Bush
The Oak Titmouse is a common resident of Northern California Oak woodlands. Typically monogamous throughout its short (about five-year) life, it nests in comfy moss-lined cavities. It is vocal, and its songs and calls are often heard when one is walking in our woods. Birds of Northern California describes its call as a nasal tsick-a-dee-dee, but as you can hear at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology website, its sounds are more varied than that suggests. A bit high-strung, it can often be seen hopping about in search of insects, nuts, berries, and seeds (it also frequents feeders). Though not brightly colored or patterned, it boasts a jaunty head tuft (hard to see here), and all in all is quite the charmer.
Plants live their lives just as we do, surrounded by loved ones, competitors.and enemies; seeking to find harmony and health; and hoping to leave behind a legacy of well-adjusted progeny capable of carrying on after their demise. Like us, they have evolved complicated pathways and behaviors to accomplish this. We are not really that different …

Planting Pak Choy for Winter Harvest
In whatever
Who doesn't love pak choy (bok choy)? It's a kind of Brassica rapa, a relative of turnip, mustard, cabbage, etc. In the past I've grown a variety called violetta, which is both beautiful and tasty. But this fall I felt I was a little too late to start a winter crop from seed, and I picked up some seedlings at a local nursery.
In our region we can grow cool-season vegetables as winter crops. Essentially there are two winter seasons, which are defined by the dormant months of December and January, when most plants shut down. There is an early winter crop, which can be planted in August or September and harvested in November (as a rule), and then there are others that take a little longer, getting started in the fall, shutting down in midwinter, and then maturing for harvest in February or March.
This pak choy is a small variety, growing to five inches tall, called Toy Choy. It's very early, being ready for harvest in just thirty days. So we will be harvesting this one in the late fall / early winter. Growing pak choy as a winter crop has advantages: less watering is needed because of rain and shorter, cooler days, and the plant is less likely to bolt since it's not subjected to summer heat.
Deleted comments
Sorry if I inadvertently deleted a valid comment. I have been dealing with a massive spam comment assault.
Limequat.
One pleasure of gardening in the San Francisco Bay Area is the ability to grow citrus. While we don't get the heat that produces the bountiful harvests of Southern California groves, we do have mild enough winters that we can grow many types of citrus and get a decent harvest from them (where I am anyway, maybe not in the sun- and heat-starved city). And citrus trees usually do well in containers, which provides great flexibility.
The latest addition is a Eustis Limequat (Citrofortunella japonica, I guess, though there seems to be a lack of consensus about the plant's botanical name). As the plant's common name suggests, this is a hybrid of kumquat and lime, specifically Key (Mexican) lime. It typically grows to about six to eight feet. The hybrid was created by Walter Swingle in Florida in 1909, and Florida remains the main area of its popularity. But the tree should be grown more widely, because from its kumquat parent it inherits greater cold tolerance that most limes. According to Gardening Know How, "It can usually survive temperatures as low as 22 F. (-6 C.), and it can sometimes survive as cold as 10 F. (-12 C.)."
In flowers
The brugmansia is having one of its moments.
Red-Flowering Currant
In flowers, fruit, native plants
The genus Ribes includes currants and gooseberries (the name is derived from a Farsi word meaning "acid-tasting"). Gooseberries bear thorns but currants are thornless. Gooseberry fruits are larger and sweeter, and more often eaten raw (though birds favor the small berries of currants).
Ribes sanguineum, Red-Flowering or Pink-Flowering Currant, is native to the Western US. It produces pendant flowers that are beloved by hummers, in late winter or early spring. This one began flowering in our garden around Groundhog's Day, that is, the cross-quarter known as Imbolc in the druidic calendar, which is the beginning of our spring here in the Bay Area. The flowers are long lasting, hanging on through our dry summer. Small blue berries appear in the fall, to the delight of birds.
I think we purchased this plant from Watershed nursery in Richmond last spring. It is now about five feet tall in a large container. In the ground it would probably get to be six to ten feet. It seems to like part sun rather than full, and is said to produce fruit even in nearly full shade. It is drought tolerant once established.
Ribes sanguineum has a bushier shape than Golden Currant, Ribes aureum, which is almost vinelike and in our garden seems happy against a fence. The red-flowering variety is also more deciduous, although this one never went fully deciduous. But the new leaves are glossier and greener, while last year's leaves are more mottled and tend toward yellow. In some situations the plant will produce excellent fall color as the leaves turn. The leaves are fragrant.
This is a great habitat plant for Bay Area gardens, and a real beauty besides.
Citrus infusions
These are a few of the infusions I'm preparing to be used in a new citrus amaro. I like the different colors. Left to right: Eureka Lemon, Satsuma Orange, Bearss Lime.
These are just infusing in vodka, so they will take a little longer than if I were using grain alcohol.
All of the citrus I use is from my garden and has not been treated with any pesticides or other nasties.
The January Garden
In gardens
We are fortunate in the Bay Area to be able to have decent-looking gardens in January. Using native plants as the bones of the garden helps.
This January has been a good one, with pretty steady rains but few sustained very strong storms.
After several years in the garden, the plant is starting to flower. Stay tuned.
In succulents
Wasp on Sedum
In insects
This wasp, which I believe is Prionyx thomae (P. parkeri and P. canadensis are similar), seemed very interested in a flowering sedum. It appeared to be collecting nectar, though conceivably it was just watching for prey.
Fairly common in the western U.S. and south to Argentina, Prionyx thomae is a solitary wasp. The female kills prey such as grasshoppers by injecting them with venom, then carries the remains back to a nest where it can serve as a host for its offspring. Because the stinger is not barbed like that of a bee, it doesn't break off in its victim, and the female can inflict multiple stings. (The male lacks a stinger entirely.)
If my insect identification skills were better I might be able to tell if this is a male or a female. Guidelines from Bohart, R.M., Menke, A.S., 1963, A Reclassification of the Sphecinae: With a Revision of the Nearctic Species of the Tribes Sceliphronini and Sphecini:
Male—Average length 12 mm; head and thorax black, gaster red, tergites rarely with darker markings; wing clear in cellular area, darker beyond; erect hair of head and thorax white; flagellum as in figure 103; sternite VII entire
Female—Average length 13 mm; pronotal lobe and vertex, scutal furrows, mesopleura behind pronotal lobe, and pleura above mid and hind coxae with appressed silvery pubescence; labial palpus generally not visible in museum specimens, much shorter than maxillary palpus
The female carries its prey, sometimes larger than itself, to a chamber it excavates at the end of a tunnel that it digs for the purpose, then lays its egg.
Bug Eric (my best source) describes such a wasp grappling with its grasshopper prey.
California Cleome
In native plants
Many California native plants have been given unloving common names, and Peritoma arborea — best known as Bladderpod — counts among them. More blandly called Californea Cleome, it is notable for its unusual yellow flowers, which bloom year-round, and its globular fruits, which rattle when shaken. Native to Southern California and Baja California deserts, it is extremely drought tolerant, without turning gray or silver like many such plants, but instead remaining cheerfully green.
Pomegranate Flower
This is the pomegranates' second summer here. They are growing in large containers. I think they were two years old when I purchased them. Now at last they are getting the large red flowers that presage fruit.
Iochroma cyanea 'Royal Blue'
One of the prettiest flowers in the garden. It seems to prefer a little more shade than Iochroma coccinea.
Grasses in the Point Pinole Meadow
In parks
The fishing pier is a popular destination at Point Pinole, as are the eucalyptus forests and the bluff overlooking San Pablo Bay and the salt marshes. But the grassy meadow in the middle of it all is one of my favorite spots, and many types of birds agree. I think most of the grasses are nonnative but, especially at this time of year, they are attractive, particularly in the slanted rosy evening light. P6175346.
Staghorn Fern and Tree Fern
In ferns
The Staghorn Fern is a kind of Platycerium; otherwise I'm not sure of the botanical names of these plants, which were in the Australasian area at the UC Botonaical Garden. P6165233
Salvia apiana (White Sage)
A California native plant. I wrote about this in "My Artemsia," an essay appearing soon.
Fuschia flowers
This fuschia plant was present on our property when we moved in. I don't know what kind of fuschia it might be. It has suffered considerable neglect, yet has survived. It doesn't seem susceptible to the mites that have devasted many Bay Area fuschias.*
*cf. Pam Peirce, "Fuchsias Rise Again in the Bay Area" (Pacific Horticulture).

Tyrannize ticking all the boxes
When trainer Danny O'Brien put in the winning bid at $155,000 for an O'Reilly colt in New Zealand two years ago, he didn't know exactly what he was taking home.
For O'Brien had enjoyed plenty of luck with the O'Reilly stock. He'd won a 2400-metre Caulfield Cup with Master O'Reilly back in 2007 and a 1200-metre Newmarket Handicap at Flemington in 2013 with Shamexpress.
"You can get one of two O'Reillys," he explained on Saturday at Flemington. "They can sprint and they can go a mile-and-a-quarter and further and seeing as though the mare is out of Savabeel, I suppose we expected him to be more of a mile-and-a-quarter horse."
But horseracing rarely fails to surprise and so it proved with this colt, who goes under the name of Tyrannize.
At just his fourth start at Flemington, Tyrannize sizzled up the straight 1200m course to win comfortably. The result was hardly a surprising one for O'Brien nor for punters, who backed him in from $10 to $7.
I thought he'd be near favourite in the race on what he'd done and I told the owners they (bookmakers) don't always get it right," O'Brien said.
The trainer said he would pick out a similar race for the three-year-old in coming weeks in the hope Tyrannize might improve further.
"It's a good time of year for these sort of lightly-raced horses to learn and maybe can bounce off some summer form into the autumn," he said.

Switch SUPERLOOP fiber network connects southern and northern Nevada.
In less than 48 hours of receiving an emergency call, Switch extends fiber Internet services into Mt. Grant General Hospital from the 500-mile SUPERLOOP high-speed backbone to keep one of the nation's top Critical Access Hospitals online.
Todd Radtke, CIO of Nevada Rural Hospital Partners (NRHP), received a call no CIO wants to get. Mt. Grant General Hospital, one of NRHP's member hospitals, would have its internet service shut down in less than one week due to its carrier's impending legal issues. To compound the situation, options for telecom providers in Hawthorne, NV where the hospital is situated, are extremely limited due to its rural setting. Faced with this situation, Radtke reached out to Switch for help.
Within minutes of receiving the call from Radtke, Switch mobilized a team to ensure the hospital's critical internet services remained operational.
Switch immediately set in motion a plan to extend fiber to the hospital from the SUPERLOOP – the circular fiber network connecting Switch's Tahoe Reno and Las Vegas data centers to San Francisco and Los Angeles. While this was no trivial task, Switch rose to the challenge. The work involved physically trenching 45 feet into the ground to access the fiber network, splicing fiber, installing new equipment and activating essential services – all in less than two days.
"We are very grateful Switch enabled this network through rural Nevada," said Todd Radtke. "With this amazing new SUPERLOOP fiber resource and Switch's ability to rally teams to help, our hospital was able to stay online and keep our patients safe. Our hospital, nursing home and clinic require constant access to the internet and Switch came to our rescue when we needed them." Stated Greg Schumann, the IT Manager for Mt. Grant General Hospital.
Switch founder and CEO, Rob Roy, created and fosters a unique client-oriented culture at every level of the company and it manifests as the industry's best customer service.
"We truly view our clients of all sizes as partners. Their success is so important to us particularly where human lives are at stake. We're very proud to have made a difference to Mt. Grant General Hospital and the community it serves by utilizing the power of the SUPERLOOP and our team members." Stated Scott Gutierrez, Vice President of Connectivity at Switch.
Part of the Switch SUPERLOOP is the 500-mile dedicated fiber network connecting its superscale data centers in Las Vegas and Tahoe Reno. In addition to being the ultra-high speed backbone for the world's largest active-active data center ecosystem, it enables rural towns along the fiber path in Nevada to connect to the global economy.

Movie News Trailers
Horror Icons Unite in 'Death House' Official Trailer
September 3, 2016 Matt Artz 0 Comments Bill Moseley, Death House, Dee Wallace, Gunnar Hansen, Tony Moran
Death House will be opening its doors very soon, and the official trailer for the all-star ensemble of horror icons and genre veterans has just dropped at Days of the Dead, and we have it for you to check out!
The highly anticipated film based on an original story written by Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre) features a killer ensemble of horror icons, including Tony Todd (Candyman, Final Destination), Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th VII-X, Hatchet), Danny Trejo (Machete, The Devil's Rejects, Halloween), R.A. Mihailoff (Texa Chainsaw Massacre 3, Smothered), and many more, including some notable former Haddonfield residents.
We have learned that Tony Moran plays a character named "Miguel", which is a direct homage to his appearance as Michael Myers in John Carpenter's Halloween, while Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs), who had a brief cameo in Rob Zombie's Halloween II, plays Satan, and Captain Spaulding himself Sid Haig (Halloween, House of 1,000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects) plays "Icicle Killer".
Our pal Bill Moseley (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, House of 1,000 Corpses), who also had a memorable cameo in the 2007 Halloween remake, talked to us earlier this year about Death House and his "satanic" character, which you can read all about in our interview here.
Dee Wallace (Halloween, Cujo, The Hills Have Eyes, E.T., The Howling) also stars in the film as the evil head of the Death House itself. You can learn all about her role in our interview here.
Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, You're Next), Adriene Barbeau (The Fog, Escape From New York), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes), Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp, Paranormal Halloween), Tiffany Shepis (Night of the Demons, Tales of Halloween), Debbie Rochon (Chainsaw Sally), Camille Keaton (I Spit on Your Grave), and Cortney Palm (Sushi Girl, Silent Night, Zombeavers) are just some of the genre vets that make up this amazing cast, which has been dubbed "the Expendables of horror".
Death House is written and directed by Harrison Smith (Camp Dread, Zombie Killers).
You can watch the official trailer for Death House in the player below, and then scroll down to check out some photos!

Tag: DP Act 4 – Penalty for Demanding Dowry
Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P, Hyd Vs Nese Jilakara Sreeramulu on 29 Aug 2003
Posted on August 1, 2021 by ShadesOfKnife
A Full Bench gave this decision upon a reference from a Division bench of AP High Court on the question as to whether the law laid down by a Division Bench of this Court in Ayyala Rambabu v. State of Andhra Pradesh, 1993 (1) Andh LT (Cri) 73 and by a learned single Judge of this Court in Nunna Venkateswarlu v. State of A. P., 1996 Cri LJ 108 is good law.
The answer was a NO.
From Paras 17-19,
17. The definition of "dowry", the object of the Act and the above decisions of the Apex Court clearly show that any property or valuable security given or agreed to be given comes within the purview of "dowry" on three occasions in which any property or valuable security comes within its purview. They are — (i) before the marriage, (ii) at the time of marriage, and (iii) "at any time" after the marriage. The third occasion may appear to be an unending period, but the crucial words are "in connection with the marriage of the parties". This means, giving or agreeing to give any property or valuable security on any of the above three stages should have been in connection with the marriage of the parties.
18. The Legislature in its wisdom while providing for the definition of "dowry" has emphasized that any money, property or valuable security given as consideration for marriage "before, at or any time after" the marriage would be covered by the expression "dowry", and this definition as contained in Section 2 of the Act has to be read whenever the expression "dowry" occurs in the Act, The meaning of expression "dowry" as commonly used and understood is different from the peculiar definition thereof under the Act.
19. Under Section 3 of the Act, if a person gives or takes are abets the giving or taking dowry shall be punished. Under Section 4 of the Act mere demand of dowry is sufficient to bring home the offence to an accused. Thus, any demand of money, property or valuable security, made from the bride or her parents or other relatives, or the bridegroom or his parents or other relatives, or vice versa, would fall within the mischief of "dowry" under the Act, where such demand is not properly referable to legally recognized claim and relatable only to the consideration of the marriage.

S.Gopal Reddy Vs State of Andhra Pradesh on 11 Jul 1996
Posted on June 28, 2021 by ShadesOfKnife
This a landmark judgment from a Division bench of the Supreme Court around section 2, 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act 1961.
Definition of Dowry and the offence of Demanding Dowry
The definition of the term 'dowry' under Section 2 of the Act shows that any property or valuable security given or "agreed to be given" either directly or indirectly by one party to the marriage to the other party to the marriage "at or before or after the marriage" as a "consideration for the marriage of the said parties" would become 'dowry' punishable under the Act. Property or valuable security so as to constitute 'dowry' within the meaning of the Act must therefore be given or demanded "as consideration for the marriage".
Section 4 of the Act aims at discouraging the very "demand" of "dowry" as a 'Consideration for the marriage' between the parties thereto and lays down that if any person after the commencement of the Act, "demands", directly or indirectly, from the parents or guardians of a 'bride' or 'bridegroom', as the case may be, any 'dowry', he shall be punishable with imprisonment which may extend to six months or with fine which may extend to Rs.5,000/- or with both.
Thus, it would be seen that section 4 makes punishable the very demand of property or valuable security as a consideration for marriage, which demand, if satisfied, would constitute the graver offence under section 3 of the Act punishable with imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than five years and with fine which shall not be less than fifteen thousand rupees or the amount of the value of such dowry whichever is more.
The definition of the expression 'dowry' contained in Section 2 of the Act cannot be confined merely to the 'demand' of money, property or valuable security 'made at or after the performance of marriage' as is urged by Mr. Rao. The legislature has in its wisdom while providing for the definition of 'dowry' emphasised that any money, property or valuable security given, as a consideration for marriage, 'before, at or after the marriage would be covered by the expression 'dowry' and this definition as contained in Section 2 has to be read wherever the expression 'dowry' occurs in the Act. Meaning of the expression 'dowry' as commonly used and understood is different than the peculiar definition thereof under the Act. Under Section 4 of the Act, mere demand of 'dowry' is sufficient to bring home the offence to an accused. Thus, any "demand" of money, property or valuable security made from the bride or her parents or other relatives by the bridegroom or his parents or other relatives or vice-versa would fall within the mischief of 'dowry' under the Act where such demand is not properly referable to any legally recognised claim and is consideration of marriage. Marriage in this context would include a proposed marriage also more particularly where the non-fulfilment of the "demand of dowry" leads to the ugly consequence of the marriage not taking place at all. The expression 'dowry' under the Act must be interpreted in the sense which the Statute wishes to attribute to it. Mr. P.P.Rao, learned senior counsel referred to various dictionaries for the meaning of 'dowry', 'bride' and 'bridegroom' and on the basis of those meanings submitted that 'dowry' must be construed only as such property, goods or valuable security which is given to a husband by and on behalf of the wife at marriage and any demand made prior to marriage would not amount to dowry. We cannot agree. Where definition has been given in a statute itself, it is neither proper nor desirable to look to the dictionaries etc. to find out the meaning of the expression. The definition given in the statute is the determinative- factor. The Act is a piece of social legislation which aims to check the growing menace of the social evil of dowry and it makes punishable not only the actual receiving of dowry but also the very demand of dowry made before or at the time or after the marriage where such demand is referable to the consideration of marriage. Dowry as a quid pro for marriage is prohibited and not the giving of traditional presents to the bride or the bride groom by friends and relatives. Thus, voluntary presents given at or before or after the marriage to the bride or the bridegroom, as the case may be, of a traditional nature, which are given not as a consideration for marriage but out of love, affection on regard, would not fall within the mischief of the expression 'dowry' mare punishable under the Act.
On the point of Interpretation of Statutes
It is a well known rule of interpretation of statutes that the text and the context of the entire Act must be looked into while interpreting any of the expressions used in a statute. The courts must look to the object which the statute seeks to achieve while interpreting any of the provisions of the Act. A purposive approach for interpreting the Act is necessary. We are unable to persuade ourselves to agree with Mr. Rao that it is only the property or valuable security given at the time of marriage which would bring the same within the definition of 'dowry' punishable under the Act, as such an interpretation would be defeating the very object for which the Act was enacted. Keeping in view the object of the Act, "demand of dowry" as a consideration for a proposed marriage would also come within the meaning of the expression dowry under the Act. If we were to agree with Mr. Rao that it is only the demand made at or after marriage which is punishable under Section 4 of the Act, Some serious consequences, which the legislature wanted to avoid, are bound to follow. Take for example a case where the bridegroom or his parents or other relatives make a 'demand' of dowry during marriage negotiations and later on after bringing the bridal party to the bride's house find that the bride or her parents or relative have not met the earlier 'demand' and call off the marriage and leave the bride house should they escape the punishment under the Act. The answer has to be an emphatic 'no'. It would be adding insult to injury if we were to countenance that their action would not attract the provisions of Section 4 of the Act. Such an interpretation would frustrate the very object of the Act and would also run contrary to the accepted principles relating to the interpretation of statutes.

Sunken 8L3B Engine Re-installed
After a very unexpected call earlier in the year from one of our clients explaining that his yacht had sunk, it was a race against time to try to save the single Gardner 8L3B from deteriorating any further due to sea water ingress.
The vessel, named "Ada Hardy" from Sydney, Australia, was half way through a round the world voyage and was in Barcelona, Spain when the incident happened after being launched by a local boatyard.
Due to the complete submersion of the engine, it was vital the the engine be stripped completely to remove any traces of water and restore the engine back to its original condition. Due to the scale of the work involved, and the small space in the engine room, it was recommended by us that the engine be removed from the vessel and returned to our works in the UK to strip and rebuilt.
Although the deckhead of the engine room could be cut out, the forward bulkhead of the saloon above could not be cut out fully, so the engine had to be partially stripped in order to remove it from the vessel.
We attended the vessel in Barcelona to remove the cylinder heads and cylinder block studs, flywheel and flywheel housing so the engine could be craned out.
On return to the UK, the engine was completely stripped, all parts overhauled including full crankshaft re-grind, before rebuilding the engine. We then full load tested the engine on our test bed before having to once again remove the newly installed cylinder heads ready for installation back into the vessel.
When the engine arrived on site in Barcelona, we flew down to meet it and once lowered into the engine room rebuilt the remaining parts before a full sea trial.
Her next stop is Gibraltar before continuing up to Northern Europe, Iceland, Greenland and beyond.
Hopefully keeping the water on the outside of the hull…
The engine just after being submersed in sea water:
Water damage to the internals of the engine:
The floor dismantled ready for removal:
Being restored and tested in our UK Works:
The engine safely back in the vessel:


Update: Maple's Gelato is no longer located on Middle St. in the Old Port. They have moved over to 14 Gary Maietta Parkway in South Portland, where you can visit them.
I went to Whole Foods yesterday for their pregame store-wide food sampling (which was a *tad* disappointing- is it me, or did Whole Foods used to have a lot more free samples? Another sign of the recession?), BUT I did have some good gelato at their gelateria. The raspberry sorbetto was great, with seeds and all, but the lavender honey gelato was kinda gross. Reminded me of a lavender creme brulee I had in Missouri... it was like chewing on one of those satchels from your underwear drawer.
So while I was out walking around today in the 40 degree heat (!!) I decided to stop into Maple's Organic Desserts.
I had the blueberry lemon sorbetto and the sea salt caramel-almond gelato (a small, at $3.25). The scooper explained the blueberry-lemon doesn't stay in scoop form, and when I asked what sorbetto was exactly, she said it's vegan! ...but that was all she knew about it. The sea salt caramel was awesome (duh). Like a dulce de leche, but richer. And with crunchy almonds.
They use all organic ingredients at Maple's, and many local ones. Their website promises to tell you the sources of their ingredients (when it's completed). Right now it just tells you that they get their milk from a family farm in Turner, ME. Yay! Oh, and their desserts are made here in Portland, at their other location on Forest Ave.
The retail store is located at 151 Middle Street, in the complex with Bull Moose's Music, Videoport, and Casablanca Comics. It's a really cute little space that they've decorated nicely.
I've decided that all this wintertime gelato eating is very important, because I need to find the best gelateria before the crowds of goobs show up this summer. After all, I wouldn't want to spend all that time waiting in line, only to find out that it's subpar gelato. So on with the research!
Oh that caramel sounds delicious! And I love the research expedition!


I'd like to add that this is also part of the long-time persecution of the syncretic resistance religions/cultures practiced by enslaved Africans in many parts of this hemisphere which continue to this day. They include names such as Vodun, Santeria, Palo, Obeah, Candomblé, etc. They have similarities but also vary by their African origin in the Fon, Yoruba, Kongo and other peoples as well as the Christian practices of the different colonial powers.
Thanks for reading, Marian. It's true, all of these traditions have been subjected to bias.
This is an excellent artiicle that has researched current biases labeled with current crimes. People need to identify the individual crime not with a culture of people.

Q: AWS Amplify Auth Errors I'm using the Android Amplify library.  I am having trouble finding out what kind of error would be passed back from the Amplify.Auth.signIn() function.  I'm not finding the documentation for this anywhere.  Right now I am just kind of guessing as to what it will return.  What I want is to tell the user how to recover from the error.  Does the username not exist, was the password incorrect, was it of bad format, etc.  Reading the source code I am given the impression that AmplifyException.recoveryMessage is what I want but that would still be problematic as it doesn't allow me to customize the message.
/**
 * Sign in the user to the back-end service and set the currentUser for this application
 * @param username User's username
 * @param password User's password
 */
override fun initiateSignin(username : String, password : String) {
    //Sign in the user to the AWS back-end
    Amplify.Auth.signIn(
        username,
        password,
        {result ->
            if (result.isSignInComplete) {
                Timber.tag(TAG).i("Sign in successful.")

                //Load the user if the sign in was successful
                loadUser()

            } else {
                Timber.tag(TAG).i("Sign in unsuccessful.")
                //TODO:  I think this will happen if the password is incorrect?

            }
        },
        {error ->
            Timber.tag(UserLogin.TAG).e(error.toString())
            authenticationRecoveryMessage.value = error.recoverySuggestion
        }
    )
}

Authentication recovery message is LiveData that I want to update a snackbar which will tell the user what they need to do for a successful login.  I feel there must be some way to get the error from this that I just haven't figured out yet.  The ideal way to handle messages to the user is with XML strings for translation possibilities so I would really like to use my own strings in the snackbar but I need to know the things that can go wrong with sign-up and what is being communicated to me through the error -> {} callback.

A: I couldn't find them in the documentation myself, so i decided to log the possibles cases.
 try {

        const signInResult = await Auth.signIn({
          username: emailOrPhoneNumber,
          password
        });

        const userId = signInResult.attributes.sub;
        const token =  (await Auth.currentSession()).getAccessToken().getJwtToken();
        console.log(userId, 'token: ', token);
        resolve(new AuthSession(userId, token, false));
      } catch (e) {
        switch (e.message) {
          case 'Username should be either an email or a phone number.':
            reject(`${AuthError.usernameInvalid}:  ${e.message}`);
            break;
          case 'Password did not conform with policy: Password not long enough':
            reject(`${AuthError.passwordTooShort}:  ${e.message}`);
            break;
          case 'User is not confirmed.':
            reject(`${AuthError.userIsNotConfirmed}:  ${e.message}`);
            break;
          case 'Incorrect username or password.':
            reject(`${AuthError.incorrectUsernameOrPassword}:  ${e.message}`);
            break;
          case 'User does not exist.':
            reject(`${AuthError.userDoesNotExist}:  ${e.message}`);
            break;
          default:
            reject(`${AuthError.unknownError}:  ${e.message}`);
        }
      }

A: SignIn uses Cognito's InitiateAuth under the hood, so error codes can be found here:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito-user-identity-pools/latest/APIReference/API_InitiateAuth.html#API_InitiateAuth_Errors
They are available in the code field of the error.

Transcription factor SOX-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOX4 gene.
This intronless gene encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional regulator after forming a protein complex with other proteins, such as syndecan binding protein (syntenin). The protein may function in the apoptosis pathway leading to cell death as well as to tumorigenesis and may mediate downstream effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH-related protein (PTHrP) in bone development. The solution structure has been resolved for the HMG-box of a similar mouse protein.
Sox4 is expressed in lymphocytes (B and T) and is required for B lymphocyte development.
SOX4 has been shown to interact with SDCBP.
