Sonowal reviews flood situation
Guwahati, July 11: Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal Thursday reviewed the prevailing flood situation which has claimed three lives and affected 2.5 lakh people in 11 districts of the state, officials said.
The chief minister interacted through video conferencing with deputy commissioners and senior officials of different government departments of the affected districts and directed them to remain fully alert and be prepared to tackle the situation promptly and effectively.
Sonowal directed the deputy commissioners to activate 24×7 control room to ensure that people in distress get adequate care and immediate response when faced with an emergency situation during floods, the officials said.
The current wave of flood has claimed three lives so far while more than 2.5 lakh population have been affected in the districts of Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Biswanath, Darrang, Barpeta, Nalbari, Chirang, Golaghat, Majuli, Jorhat and Dibrugarh.
Embankments, roads, bridges, culverts and other infrastructure have been also damaged at various places in Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Hojai, Barpeta, Golaghat, Majuli and Jorhat districts.
Several rivers, including the Brahmaputra, the Dikhow, the Dhansiri, the Jia Bharali, the Puthimari and the Beki, are flowing above the danger level at various districts.
The chief minister reviewed the status of relief camps, distribution of relief material to marooned people and measures adopted for safety and security of animals in the flood affected districts, an official spokesperson said.
Sonowal further directed that adequate medical services be provided to flood affected people and asked the deputy commissioners to contact immediately the Director of Health Services, if there is any shortage of doctors in their respective districts.
The chief minister also directed the Health department personnel to collect blood sample of relief camp inmates to contain Japanese Encephalitis and Malaria diseases which has seen a spurt during the last month.
He also instructed them to take steps for adequate care for animals affected by flood and arrange fodder for them.
The district administrations should also be in close touch with NDRF and SDRF personnel stationed in the affected districts, Sonowal said.
He directed the police force to carry out regular patrolling in flood affected areas to ensure safety and security of property of the flood hit people.
The CM also directed the deputy commissioners to release immediately the one time financial assistance to the next of kin of victims who have lost their lives in the flood.
Sonowal also reviewed the prevailing situation in Kaziranga and Manas National Parks along with the preparedness of Kamrup (Metro) district administration in responding to incidents of landslides in the district.
Chief secretary Alok Kumar, additional chief secretary Kumar Sanjay Krishna, Special DGP Bhaskarjyoti Mahanta, principal secretary to Chief Minister Sanjay Lohiya and other senior officials of state government also attended the video conferencing. (PTI)

Although large scale offshore wind may be at the cutting edge of the renewables scene in Scotland it is still very much a technology in development, with serious storage and distribution issues to be resolved. Community wind on the other hand, where the power is used locally and a modest surplus exported to the grid, is seen by many as a better use of the technology. Many farms and businesses in Scotland operate their own wind turbines now, but this section concentrates on community or co-operatively owned windpower projects.
Boyndie Wind Farm is built on a former World War II airfield in Banffshire is owned by a co-opeative with 16 members. The wind farm has 8 turbines and when it's operating fully it generates 16.30 MW of electricity.
Energy4All delivers community ownership of renewables through co-operatives and is actively seeking new opportunities for community ownership of renewables in Scotland. Responsible for the Boyndie co-op (see above).
The Findhorn wind park began in 1989 with a single 75KW turbine. Three second-hand Vestas V29 225kW turbines now give a total installed capacity of 750 kW, making the commnity a net exporter of electricity.
Three Vestas V27 turbines were commissioned in January 2005 and are capable of generating up to 675 kW of power. Gigha residents control the whole project and profits are reinvested in the community.
Tiree has installed an 950kw Enercon E44 wind turbine in the east of the island. The single turbine, owned by Tiree Renewable Energy Ltd. is expected to generate revenues for the island's community of around £100,000 a year.
Westray Development Trust have installed an Enercon E44 turbine rated at 900Kw. The energy is sold to SmarterEnergy. Westray is a windy place and the turbine has shown some impressive load factors.

Want a healthier gut? Get a dog!
Tony Webster | Flickr CC
Calah Alexander - published on 06/21/17
New research suggests that animal bacteria may trigger beneficial changes in human gut bacteria.
When our daughter was a year old, we took her to see my in-laws' new puppy. I will never forget my mother-in-law's peal of laughter at the expression of horror on my face when the puppy licked the baby — right in her mouth.
"It's okay, Calah," she said. "Dogs have cleaner mouths than humans."
Why you need to walk barefoot more often
I doubt it, I thought dubiously, watching the puppy transition between licking my baby's face and licking its own butt.
Weirdly, though, she was kind of right — dogs carry the same (enormous) load of bacteria in their mouths as humans do, but most of it is species-specific – -meaning that the bacteria thriving in Fido's mouth likely won't survive in yours.
But scientists are starting to realize that focusing on cleanliness is exactly the wrong way to measure health, and our obsession with sanitation may have backfired spectacularly.
The hygiene hypothesis, first postulated in the late '80s, claims that spending most of our lives indoors (particularly in sanitized, bacteria-poor environments) fails to give our immune system a chance to develop properly. That's why it overreacts when introduced to harmless substances like pollen, triggering inflammatory responses like asthma.
Luckily, research has found that there's an easy — and adorable — way to help train our immune systems properly: get a dog.
Indoor dogs raise the level of 56 different classes of bacterial species in the home, while cleaner (and crankier) cats only boost the levels of 24 bacterial species. But the benefits of dogs may go further than simply bolstering our immune system — dogs may be the new probiotic.
The New York Times recently spoke with Dr. Jack Gilbert, the director of the University of Chicago's Microbiome Center, about the interaction between animal bacteria and human gut bacteria:
"Some intriguing early research suggests links between the microbes that our animal companions bring into our homes — and that we breathe in and swallow — and the microbes that thrive in our digestive tract. 'Exposure to animal bacteria may trigger bacteria in our gut to change how they metabolize the neurotransmitters that have an impact on mood and other mental functions,' Dr. Gilbert said, although he cautioned that research into how pet microbes affect the human gut microbiome remains at an early stage."
Dr. Gilbert co-authored a study last year comparing the health of Amish children in Indiana who grew up close to barnyard animals, versus the Hutterite children of North Dakota, who spent their childhood apart from animals on large mechanized farms. The study found that the Amish children had far lower rates of asthma and fewer immune-related illnesses precisely because of the childrens' proximity to livestock and the bacteria they host.
Here's the daily meal plan of a busy nutritionist mom
We still don't know the extent of how our bodies interact with bacteria — training the immune system could be just the tip of the iceberg. Animal bacteria could impact our gut bacteria in ways that not only made us healthier physically, but also mentally and emotionally.
Unfortunately most of us don't grow up milking cows and feeding chickens, but according to Dr. Gilbert, cohabitation with pets is the next best thing: "If we can't bring our kids to the farm, maybe we can bring the farm to kids."
So the next time your child begs for a dog, surprise them by saying yes. It'll be good for both of you.

Peninsula Rail Task Force
Peninsula Rail Task Force/
Statement: Peninsula Rail Task Force
Mon, Jan 26, 2015 12:51 CET
As the latest report from the Transport Select Committee, "investing in the Railways' acknowledges the South West has been 'starved of investment', the South West Peninsula Rail Task Force has queried the 'Long Term Economic Plan' announced by the Chancellor and Prime Minister today.
The Peninsula Rail Task Force, a partnership of local authorities from Cornwall, Devon, Plymouth, Somerset and Torbay, the SW Chamber of Commerce and both LEPs has been campaigning for greater investment into the region's rail and road networks following the severe weather incidents of 2012.
Chair of the Task Force, Councillor Andrew Leadbetter said: 'Since the line was severed at Dawlish, and the floods caused major disruption across our rail and road networks last year, we have been making the point to Government that the South West has a legacy of underinvestment.
"It's not just new schemes that have fallen by the wayside - maintenance is also a problem. For every £545 the Government spends in London, it is just £41 in the South West. That is simply not acceptable.
"Our communities deserve and need a functioning railway. Whilst we see investment going into the North and Midlands, we are not even in the position where Dawlish is resilient and that's our lifeline. We urge the Government to heed the Select Committee report and start a serious programme of investment into our peninsula. It's not enough to say it will be 'planned for' - we need greater certainty for our businesses to grow and expand. Warm words are not going to pay for our rail.
"As local authorities and LEPs, we are working with the train operators to develop our stations and make small improvements but this rail network needs a significant injection of funds to transform it and that is not something that we can do without the Government's help. We await their response."
More about the work of the Peninsula Rail Task Force is on www.resiliencesouthwest.co.uk


1. First cut the butternut squash into small cutes toss over a little olive oil and bake for 25 minutes at 180c meanwhile, grate the carrot and parsnip; I used a grater attachment of my food processor for quickness.
2. Chop the onion and sautée and chop the chestnut mushrooms and then pulse and few times in a food processor with the herbs to chop really finely. Once the onion has softened add the mushrooms and chopped herbs and sautée then remove from the heat add the grated carrot/parsnip.
3. Then add the nuts into the food processor and chop up and add that to the pan with the pumpkin seeds, bread crumbs and then add the cooked rice, squash and cheddar and mix.
4. In a bowl add the water, stock cubes, wine, miso, mustard and dried porcini, let stand for 5 minutes then remove the mushrooms and chop up then add back in and pour this into the pan and mix (you can use your hands if it's easier) line a large angel food cake style tin that has a removable base and press in the mixture then bake for 50 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes then gently remove from the tin on to a plate, you can put it back in for 10 minutes to brown the outside if you wish but I found it best to slice it before serving and baking it on a baking tray for 15 minutes to make it nice and crispy.


My friend Julie, whom I have known for 30 years, and I recently reflected on how friendships evolve and change over the years, even decades. Some grow closer, some farther, and a lucky few are circular. Various tangible or intangible circumstances in life push and pull friendships in different directions, usually in gentle imperceptible ways. If you are blessed, the foundation on which an original friendship was built is strong enough to withstand any internal or external assault; however, the mere history of a friendship is not enough to sustain one in the present or future.
Speaking of friends, I am lucky to have my good friend Erik (with a "k") return home to Vancouver after almost ten years in Edmonton. Did I just say ten years? After medical school, we both were matched to University of Alberta residency programs in 1999 but I only survived five long cold Edmonton winters. He must be much tougher than I am.
This simple dark chocolate hazelnut tart was a small house-warming gift for Erik and his family to enjoy. A pâte sucrée crust was baked with a thin layer of hazelnut cream before pouring a dark chocolate hazelnut ganache over top. I do love the initial smooth mirror-like appearance of a still warm and fluid dark chocolate ganache, which eventually dulls slightly as it sets. Welcome home!

I am the "Erik" of note. Yes, it was tasty. As soon as the chef left our home, my wife and I polished off the 2 leftover pieces.
Stay tuned...I will hopefully be making many more appearances on the blog.

Politics New York City
Cuomo names Kenneth Adams as tax commissioner
Gatling, Hynes-era ADA, Also Gets New Post
January 12, 2015 By Raanan Geberer Special to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle
Kenneth Adams, veteran government and business administrator with Brooklyn roots. Eagle file photo by John Calabrese
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday named Kenneth Adams, veteran business and economic development administrator from Brooklyn, as the commissioner of the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance.
Adams' appointment was announced as part of a large group of appointments that also included Patricia Gatling, former first assistant district attorney for Kings County, who will become Cuomo's deputy secretary for civil rights.
While Adams has held a half-dozen leadership positions over the years, in Brooklyn he is perhaps best known for his tenure as president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce during the early and mid-2000s.
Adams grew up in Brooklyn, the son of lawyer and community activist Murray Adams, who served as former president of the Cobble Hill Association. Murray Adams was well known in his own right as a leader of the ultimately unsuccessful fight to save Long Island College Hospital.
"Congratulations to my good friend Kenneth Adams on his appointment as Commissioner of the State Department of Taxation and Finance," said Brooklyn Chamber President and CEO Carlo A. Scissura. "I know very well what incredible things Ken is capable of, from my time working with him in his most recent positions as President and CEO of Empire State Development and Commissioner of the New York State Department of Economic Development. Governor Cuomo could not have chosen a better person for the job, and I am confident Ken will continue to do amazing things in his new role to improve the lives of New Yorkers."
Before being named to lead the Chamber, Kenneth Adams became familiar to observers of the Downtown Brooklyn scene as head of the MetroTech Business Improvement District (BID). The BID provides public safety, street cleaning and business development services in the area surrounding MetroTech.
Under Adams' leadership, the Chamber enjoyed steady growth. During those years, the Eagle often quoted him on various news events.
For example, in 2006, when the New York Fire Patrol, a specialized unit formed to protect property as opposed to lives, was being dismantled, Adams said, "We recently had a fire in our building at 25 Elm Place. Fire Patrol responded to this fire. We were relieved and gratified to know Fire Patrol was here, in our building, willing to protect our office, our computers."
In 2006, Adams left the Chamber to become president and CEO of The Business Council of New York State, an advocacy organization that represents 2,400 private-sector businesses. When Adams was president, the 100-year-old Business Council made its first-ever endorsement for governor: Andrew Cuomo.
In 2011, Cuomo appointed Adams as president, CEO and commissioner of the Empire State Development Corp. At the time, the Eagle ran an article featuring the reaction of prominent Brooklynites to Adams' appointment.
Then-Borough President Marty Markowitz said, "Ken is superbly qualified for this new role — he is an innovative trailblazer who made a huge and lasting impact on Brooklyn's business community while president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce."
And Carl Hum, then president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, said, "The governor did a great job by choosing Kenneth to head the ESCD. Because of his experience in Brooklyn and Albany, he understands both upstate and downstate concerns."
In 2012, when longtime Eagle columnist Dennis Holt died, Adams contacted the paper and said, "Dennis was the very best of community journalists — experienced, thoughtful and judicious as a reporter, and, at the same time, loyal and devoted to the many Brooklyn people, places, causes and organizations about which he wrote."
As for Gatling, she joins the Cuomo administration from the New York City Commission on Human Rights, where she served as commissioner and chair since 2002. Previously, she served as first assistant district attorney under then-Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes and as special assistant attorney general at the Office to Investigate Corruption in New York City.
In 2013, Hynes named Gatling as part of a team to probe several murder cases that were investigated by controversial former NYPD Detective Louis Scarcella, who has been accused of browbeating suspects and railroading witnesses.
Later that year, Hynes appointed Gatling to a "transition team" after he lost the Democratic nomination for district attorney to Kenneth Thompson, who eventually was elected as the new Brooklyn D.A.

Early Help refers to the offer of any support, advice or information we can give to children and their families as soon as possible to help prevent probkems from escalating or when issues begin to emerge.
Miss Leah our Pastoral leader is on the playground every morning and is available to talk to parents/carers when you drop your children at school to discuss any concerns you may have regarding behaviour, learning or any other support you require. She is also available during morning sessions and parents can speak to her directly, telephone or make an appointment.
Miss Leah can support parents/carers to complete forms and other paperwork such as high school admissions, as well signpost or direct you to relevant agencies who may also be able to support.
Meetings with Miss Leah are available to meet with parents/carers to discuss any concerns you may have regarding your child's behaviour or learning. You can also speak to your child's teacher, Mrs Wilding, our Deputy Head teacher, Mrs Moore, our SENCO or Mrs Briggs, our Headteacher.
Referrals to outside agencies such as: the Children's Centre, the Family Outreach Team, parenting courses, our School Health Advisor, St Joseph's Family Centre, Play/Art Therapy and local children's centres can also be made.
We can also complete Early Help Assessment (EHA) with families to access further support. These involve listening carefully to you, discussing what help you need and talking about what is working well in your life. Based on the conversations and information gathered, alongside what help you would like, a plan is put together so that professionals can work together to make sure you get the right sort of help at the right time.
Our Safeguarding Team meet every two weeks to identify any children and families who would benefit from early help. This allows them to access services in the school and beyond to support identified vulnerable pupils and families.
What is an Early Help Assessment Form?
An Early Help Assessment is a way of noting down what is going well in your family, what the worries are and what needs to happen to help things improve. Together you will then agree the best way to make this happen; this will be written into a Family Plan. Lots of differnt agencies can be accessed to support the differnt needs.
If you have worries about your family, then ask a professional who's working with you or your children for an Early Help assessment. Also a professional connected to your family who has concerns may suggest to you that together you do an Early Help Assessment to see how your family can be supported.

Q: Determine the invariant factors of $\mathbb{Z^2}$ I want to show that $(G,.)$ is a finitely generated abelian group and determine its invariant factor, where $G=\mathbb{Z}^2$ and the binary operation is $(x_1,y_1).(x_2,y_2):=(x_1+x_2,y_1+y_2+x_1x_2)$.
It is easy to show that "$.$" is associative and commutative. The identity element is $(0,0)$, and the inverse is $(-x,x^2-y)$. Thus, $G$ is an abelian group.
Furthermore, $G=\langle (1,0),(0,1) \rangle$, so it is finitely generated.
What I am struggling with is the invariant factors part. I know that it would be something like
$\mathbb{Z}/n_1 \times … \times \mathbb{Z}/n_s \times \mathbb{Z}^r$
Where $n_1,…,n_s$ are the invariant factors and $r$ is the free rank. However, I am not sure how to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

A: We have a short exact sequence
$$0 \to \mathbb{Z} \overset{y \mapsto (0, y)}{\longrightarrow} G \overset{(x, y) \mapsto x}{\longrightarrow} \mathbb{Z} \to 0.$$
Moreover, since $\mathbb{Z}$ is a free abelian group, this sequence automatically splits.  Therefore, $G \simeq \mathbb{Z}^2$.

A: For a response that doesn't use exact sequences (although this is the simplest way to get the answer if you have learned them):
First, note that there is no torsion, since the first coordinate of $n(x,y)$ is $nx$, and thus any torsion point must have $x = 0$. But if $x = 0$, then the second coordinate of $n(x,y)$ is $ny$, as can be seen by induction. Thus $y = 0$ as well, so the identity is the only point of finite order.
Next, check that $n(0,1) = (0,n)$ and $n(1,0) = (n, (n(n-1))/2)$ for any $n \in \mathbb{Z}$. Thus if $n(1,0) = (0,m)$ for any $n$, we must have that $n = 0$, so $m = 0$, and the subgroups $\langle (0,1) \rangle$ and $\langle (1,0) \rangle$, intersect trivially. Since, as you noted, $(0,1)$ and $(1,0)$ generate $G$, we get that $G \cong \langle (0,1) \rangle \times \langle (1,0) \rangle \cong \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}$.

LETTER: Sell hotel to fund work in our area
The imminent closure of the Meden Centre and the concern of the residents of Warsop has resulted in the mayor calling for non-political commission of interested parties into the future of Warsop.
The group is to meet regularly and report by the end of 2018. A true politician's solution – an 18-month talking shop by which time, I believe, the hope is any of those who were concerned about the loss of the Meden Centre will have forgotten, or become frustrated with inaction.
A talking shop which promises good intentions but after much hot air and expenditure will produce a final report for "consideration by local authorities", no promises of any actions. Of course, everything will be guided by finance and it is more than likely the excuse to do nothing is already written: "We would like to carry out the recommendations but the economic situation and budget cuts from central Government mean we will not be able to implement the details of the report."
Eighteen months of talk, while in the meantime the Meden Centre will be closed and this valuable local asset lost. There are a couple of questions about the Warsop situation which I and possibly the Warsop electorate deserve an answer. Firstly, who was the council official/ portfolio holder who allowed the Meden Centre to get into a situation where it would require more than £1 million to repair and refurbish this facility?
The very least the people of Warsop deserve is a public apology from the council and, dare I say, the cabinet member with responsibility for leisure facilities resign over, in my view, their lack of supervision.
The second point is the district council's statement that the £1m required for repairs is not available in the budget. Why was provision not made annually for repair of the Meden Centre as everyone knows that any facility is going to reach a point where more than cosmetic repair is required and it is prudent to make financial provision for such events? Having said this, I recall that a number of years ago when economics were better, there was a surplus in the district council's finances. The mayor and the cabinet decided to invest these surpluses in property with no recourse to the electorate to whom the surplus belonged. One of the properties purchased was an hotel in Edinburgh for about £7m. Now, when a homeowner is faced with a necessary repair to a house, that if not done would result in losing the house, but have no money in the bank but have a valuable asset that if sold would bring in the necessary cash and a surplus, what would the homeowner do? I think there is no contest, sell the asset and do the necessary repairs and re-invest any surplus. Might I suggest the people of the district need help and so the council should sell the hotel and use the money to repair and refurbish the Meden Centre and then reinvest any surplus to help Mansfield residents.
Could the council invest in new local businesses in a Dragon's Den-style of investment taking equity in the company? The council will say the hotel brings in revenue which helps them to continue to not increase the council tax, but when you have an open wound in your area it needs action not hot air.
It needs that surplus which was collected in good times to be returned to help the district, now that the economic situation is more difficult.

Below we've gathered ideas for the ways in which you can commemorate this momentous occasion throughout the couple's wedding journey.
Let it glow - Celebrate the excitement of an engagement with a sentiment that captures the couple's glowing feelings and encourages them to continue basking in the warmth. Also great for newlyweds or new parents!
By your side, always - Now that the excitement of the engagement has settled reach out and let them know you'd love to help with whatever they may need. Weddings are a big undertaking and they'll be grateful to know you are by their side and willing to lend a hand.
It's your day! - The big day has arrived and the couple has so much to keep track of. Use this card to help them pause, embrace the fact that most importantly the day is for them, and appreciate the once-in-a-lifetime magic this day brings.
Post Script - It's the week after the wedding and you're still feeling the love. Don't keep those good vibes to yourself...jot them down and send your reflection off to the couple. It will likely be the BEST gift they'll receive.
Thank You - It takes a village. The couple likely did not pull off the wedding all on their own. Take a moment to reflect on all the people who made this celebration happen, the parents of the couple, the bridal party, perhaps some notable family members. Now write a note expressing your gratitude to them for all they did to make the event so welcoming and wonderful.
We hope these suggestions help you give in more fully to the celebration of the momentous occasion.
Getting married soon? Or looking for another way to support the couple on their wedding day? Stay tuned for our next post!

The excitement of online gambling is tough to withstand. Online casinos have the music, graphics, and sound effects to make you seem like you're in the middle of a real gambling establishment, with all the possibility that the next bet will be the big win! Some online casinos even let you use a webcam to see and talk to a live dealership and other gamers while you do your gambling. With all this enjoyment, you may be tempted to leap in to the first casino that appears like enjoyable, but don't do it! You have to read this casino guide initially, designed to be like a jump-start to the online casino betting world.
But if you in fact desire to make money you have to share a technique. For more recent gamers I would recommend poker online a Tight Aggressive technique. As you get more advance you can utilise a Loose Aggressive technique.
Now, thanks to the Web, Americans who wish to gamble can do so from the comfort of their own house. A lot of them are doing it. It has actually likewise been reported that $35.80 million was invested on online gambling in 2012.
When they get great hands or good wagering results, it is natural for players to smile. When that strong hand comes, a bad player will frequently attempt to mask these responses by putting his hand over his face.
There are various methods that you can make some loan playing no limitation hold em poker uang asli. Trapping hands in one such way. When you have a strong hand and your opponent has a comparatively weaker hand, this is. Big pair over huge set, small pots, wagering in the back, drawing hands, bluffing -these are the various methods you can win money playing this video game.
But exactly what about the so called live roulette flaw in modern-day online gambling establishments? Some lead characters of this say: To avoid the suspicion of scams, some casino software application is programmed, that for example every dozen will come at least one time in 16 rounds. So, with a variation of the martingale (see above) you can win guaranteed. And naturally these people deliver their affiliate-link to these gambling establishments. Do not think it. The casino owners are laughing about such "secrets".
I headed over to the ATM, steaming and on tilt and took out another $100, that really ended up being $103 after being evaluated ATM charges. Entering into a limitation video game, I rapidly lost another $100, including much more insult to injury when I realized that this table made their loan off newbies who were on tilt after losing in the tournament. So much for my fun $10 day. Hey, there's constantly blackjack.

What did we learn from the largest psilocybin trial?
While the use of psychedelics and the development of psychedelic-based medicines and therapies are on the rise, evidence around how they work and affect us is still relatively under-researched, thanks to decades of prohibition.
However, the recent publication of the results from the largest psilocybin study ever completed may help us to better understand the potential of this substance.
Compass Pathways has revealed that these results demonstrated a "rapid and sustained response" for patients receiving a psychedelic-based medicine.
According to the company, the medicine could reduce symptoms of treatment-resistant depression after three weeks, making it a potentially useful therapeutic option for the treatment of the condition.
What is psilocybin?
Psilocybin is a psychedelic substance that is found in a small number of fungi, often referred to as 'magic mushrooms'.
These mushrooms have become well-known, however for the past half-decade, they have largely been associated with recreational drug use, hippy culture and anti-establishment groups.
There is comparatively little awareness of the health and therapeutic potential of the substance.
About treatment-resistant depression (TRD)
More than 320 million people globally suffer from major depressive disorder (MDD), the leading cause of disability worldwide and one of the fastest-growing mental health illnesses.
About a third of these patients – roughly 100 million people – aren't helped by existing therapies and suffer from treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
TRD carries two to three times the medical costs of the treatment of non-TRD MDD, and patients with TRD have higher all-cause mortality compared with non-TRD MDD patients.
So what did the study say?
In this recent randomised, controlled, double-blind trial, a single dose of investigational psilocybin-based medicine was given to 233 patients in conjunction with psychological support from specially trained therapists.
The trial aimed to compare two active doses of COMP360, the medicine, 25mg and 10mg, against 1mg dose of a comparator.
The results are telling: the 25mg group vs the 1mg group – basically the placebo group – showed a -6.6 difference on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) depression scale at week three.
However, there was no real difference between those given 10mg of COMP360 and 1mg comparator.
Furthermore, almost a third (29%) of the 25mg group reported some sort of remission after three weeks – with almost a quarter of the same group still in remission 12 weeks after administration.
These are promising results, to say the least.
David J Hellerstein MD, a Principal Investigator on the trial and Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, said: "Treatment-resistant depression is a common and devastating condition, affecting tens of millions of people, with few effective treatments.
"This is the largest modern study of a psychedelic drug, combined with psychological support, enrolling over 200 people with TRD. In this groundbreaking study, a single dose of psilocybin, given in conjunction with psychological support, generated a rapid response that lasted up to 12 weeks.
"Remission rates appear to be higher than seen in traditional medication studies. We now have evidence from a large well-designed trial that psilocybin may be effective for people with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.
"These findings suggest that COMP360 psilocybin therapy could play a major role in psychiatric care if approved."

Rasmussen, Vinokourov shine in important time trial at Tour de France
JAMEY KEATEN
ALBI, France — At the Tour de France, timing is everything.
Michael Rasmussen of Denmark, dogged by new doping accusations, turned in the time trial of his life Saturday to keep the race leader's yellow jersey heading into three mountain stages, his specialty.
He needed the all-out effort after Alexandre Vinokourov powered to the day's best ride, showing that he's feeling much better after crashing and injuring his knees a week ago.
The Kazakh rider, baring his teeth, outclassed rivals as he finished the 13th stage in 1 hour, 6 minutes, 34 seconds in the 33.6-mile race against the clock in and around Albi.
"Now I think I can attack in the mountains with the legs I have," said Vinokourov, who jumped to ninth place and is 5:10 behind Rasmussen. He entered the day 8:05 behind Rasmussen in 19th place.
It was an impressive turnaround for the one-time favorite as the pivotal final week of racing begins. Saturday's shakeout could be a harbinger for how riders will fare on the more important time trial — a 34.5-mile 19th stage from Cognac to Angouleme on the day before the July 29 finish in Paris.
"For us, the Tour starts today," Vinokourov said. "It was important to me to show myself and to the other riders who had counted me out that it was too early for the general classification to be decided.
"It's not at all over."
But the mountains are where Rasmussen has dominated. He was the Tour's best climber for the last two years and first donned yellow this year after winning the second stage in the Alps last Sunday.
Rasmussen surprised himself with his strong ride in the time trial, which isn't his strength, but had several explanations.
Roads began to dry out at the end of the stage, in which riders set off one by one in reverse order. Rasmussen, as overall leader, started last and benefited from tips his Rabobank teammates gave about the dangerous patches on the winding, hilly course.
And "obviously, the yellow jersey is a very big motivation factor," he said.
Rasmussen didn't have answers for the firestorm of questions he has faced about his removal from Denmark's national team after missing surprise anti-doping checks before the Tour, and new claims that he asked an acquaintance to carry doping materials into Italy five years ago.
Doping rumors — compounded by recent admissions, investigations and scandals — are a constant in cycling. Floyd Landis, who won the Tour last year, is awaiting an arbitration panel's verdict on a proposed two-year ban after testing positive for synthetic testosterone.
Rasmussen refused to answer questions about allegations by a former amateur mountain bike racer from Boulder, Colo., that the Dane had tried to trick him into carrying doping materials into Italy in March 2002.
"I only answer questions regarding the race," he said, explaining how he remained motivated despite the controversy. "I decided to put the last couple of days behind me."
He'll need to stay motivated to hold off the new set of rivals he faces after Saturday's stage.
Cadel Evans is in second place 1 minute behind Rasmussen. The well-rounded Aussie rider finished second in the stage, 1:14 behind Vinokourov. Discovery Channel rider Alberto Contador of Spain moved into third overall, 2:31 behind.
Alejandro Valverde had begun the day 2:35 back in second, and fellow Spaniard Iban Mayo had been third, 2:39 behind. They struggled and each fell to 5:28 back.
"I am surprised to keep the jersey with that much of an advantage," Rasmussen said. "I guess this was the time-trial of my life. ... I was in better condition than some of my competitors."
He also avoided the pitfalls. Time-trial ace Andreas Kloeden and his Astana teammate Andrey Kashechkin were among many riders who crashed on the rain-slickened roads. Kloeden still managed to place third in the stage 1:39 back, crossing the finish line with road rash on his hip.
The three-week race returns to the mountains Sunday, with the 122.4-mile 14th stage from Mazamet to Plateau-de-Beille — the first of three punishing rides in the Pyrenees.

Café Society: Conflict Diamonds: Are They Forever?
Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Diamonds are forever. Diamonds are a multi-million dollar industry.
In the early 1990's, conflict diamondsor "blood diamonds" first met the world's attention during a violent conflict in Sierra Leone.According to the United Nations, a diamond graduates to a conflict diamond when it "originates from areas controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and internationally recognized governments and is used to fund military action in opposition to those governments, or in contravention of the decisions of the Security Council."The illicit sale of these gems has funded conflicts in Angola, Ivory Coast, Liberia, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as al-Qaeda.Who is it that has profited from blood diamonds: African nations, the diamond industry, the consumer?
The De Beers Group, a diamond mining and trading corporation, presently controls an estimated 40% of the world's diamond trade.The United States accounts for half of the world's diamond jewelry purchases.Is this industry to blame for the exploitation of countless families in Africa?Is the legacy of imperialism responsible for giving power to unprincipled governments and guerrilla forces?Should the American public be responsible for holding the diamond industry accountable?
The less than sparkling reputation of the diamond industry has becomethe focus of Hollywood.The New York Times called it "Hollywood's multifaceted cause du jour."Most recently, the film Blood Diamond has drawn attention to the impact this illegal trade has had on the many people living in regions exploited by Westerners' lust for these tokens of love.The film has been criticized for misleading the public.According to the diamond industry, blood diamonds only represent a small percentage of those on the market.Has the film given the consumers the wrong impression?Is a more stringent and costly certification process truly merited?
Join us this week at Café Society to discuss how far you are willing to go to make sure your next ring is conflict free.

It's official… and I'm sooo ready for it! I hope the shadows are changing and the foliage has color wherever you are!
I love everything about fall: the pumpkins, the leaves, football games, the weather. It puts me in a more creative mood, too! And that's a good thing, because it's time for the monthly DIY Days Blog Hop with Lowe's and Hometalk! As I was perusing (have you noticed I like to use that word?) the aisles at Lowe's, I saw this 16 x 16″ square of tile that had awesome texture – like a painter's canvas – in the prettiest shade of gray!
It is sold only by the carton, but in speaking with the floor manager in the tile section, we discovered there was a broken carton, so he let me purchase a single tile. Lowe's is the best!
The pumpkins are painted, but the 'fall' lettering is in chalk. I might want to change my typography for different occasions. For Thanksgiving, I might letter 'Give Thanks'!
And here's a pinnable image, if you'd like to pin it! And, by the way, you can follow me on Pinterest HERE!
September 2015 DIY Days Blog Hop!
fabulous blogs to see their Lowe's DIY Days Projects!!
Beautiful! I love that tile, and what you did with it is just so creative!
I had no idea the had tiles like these …very interesting! I love what you did with it along with your beautiful painting! Beautiful!
AO creative! I love the tile as well. The texture is perfect for a Fall craft!
Sondra Lyn this is gorgeous! I can't believe you were allowed to buy a single tile. I think Lowes is very happy they made that decision since you did an amazing job upcycling that single tile. Bravo!
Love this creative projective! I'll have to check out the tile section at Lowe's!


Well, they are 62x50, but you can easily trim them for TS/RA2. This thread will be a work in progress, as I will add in more when I get to them. Secondary abilities I will see what I can do with, but as of now the buttons are too small. But I bet you guys can find a use for these, so here. I will also map the image for you (whoever is a generals modder here) when I fill the sheet.
Great but what about the big unit portrait? Honestly, kinda useless without one.
The "big" unit portrait (of ra3) is actually smaller than the big portrait of Generals. So I'm gonna go and try to find as much concept art as I possible can and work with that to make the big portraits.
I added the allies, and I fit some jappanese ones in the room that was left. Don't expect the rest of the jappanese ones anytime soon though.
They look pretty good.. but, something bothers me. why make ra3 cameos for use in an obvious ra3 generals mod when the ra3 engine is obviously better?
And don't say it's because ra3 lacks a SDK, because we sure as hell didn't get one for ra2..
But anyways, again nice cameo's Dafool.
Thanks. I mod generals because i's like the intro games into the 3d realm. It's probably a halfway between say Ra2 and Ra3, and there are abundant tools for modding generals. You can also mod generals with like, just XCC Mixer and and notepad, no need to complie or anything.
Anyways, these cameos can be used for generals, and they are sized close enough (62x50) that if someone trimmed them down a little bit they can be used for Ra2/TS. So I thought these be very useful to post.
bump, added the uprising cameos, along with a few action ones I missed.


I don't want it, I need it.
Although summer isn't officially here yet, we all have a mental checklist of things we absolutely need to fill our beach bags with: Pool floats, sunscreen, a good book, and, of course—a giant water bottle that can hold two and a half bottles of wine. Trust me, it's a necessity.
Twitter user earthifulmama discovered the insane product by HydraPeak at her local TJ Maxx, and thankfully shared her discovery with the rest of the internet. The bottle is advertised as being able to hold eight glasses of water, but more importantly, it can also hold all the wine you'd ever need for an outdoor picnic. Or hold five and a half cans of beer, if that's more your thing. What more could you ask for?
The tweet spread far and wide, inspiring other Maxxinistas to ascend upon their local department store to take advantage of the deal. According to Twitter user genesis, these water bottles are available at TJ Maxx for only $20 apiece—so of course she bought two of them.
If you're worried about this giant bottle not being able to fit into cupholders, have no fear—another tweet made its rounds from a dedicated HydraPeak owner revealing their secret to getting the 67oz bottle to fit every time.
While TJ Maxx doesn't appear to be selling these gamechanging bottles online, you can find them on the brand's website at HydraPeak.com, or enjoy a cheap dupe on Amazon—whatever your heart desires. Wine not?!

My first taste of Real Estate began over 15 years ago as an executive assistant for a partner of Canada's largest Commercial purchasing, leasing and land development company. Upon the retirement of the partner and with full support I leaped into a new direction cofounding a successful action sports Distribution Company. Over the next 10 years I had personally purchased new home builds, investment and waterfront properties to keep in touch with my passion for Real Estate.
There is something to be said for local representation …. my experience and attention to detail nature, allows me to navigate clients through the unique challenges that properties in Blue Mountain-Collingwood to Muskoka can bring.
