#369 - Chemicals and Health -- Part 1, 22-Dec-1993

Each year some 3.5 billion pounds of industrial toxins, and an
additional 1 to 2 billion pounds of pesticides are intentionally
released into the environment of the U.S., according to U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.
During the early 1990s it has became fashionable for the mass media to
portray these chemicals as having little effect on human or
environmental health.[1] However, in scientific and medical journals,
the evidence linking chemicals to ill health has continued to
accumulate.
Writing in the AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH in 1992, Philip J.
Landrigan, chairman of the department of community medicine at the
Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, said, "Disease caused
by toxic chemicals in the environment is a substantial... cause of
morbidity [illness] and mortality [death] in the United States and
around the world."[2] He went on to say, "Public health workers and the
makers of public policy must recognize that toxic chemicals in the
environment are important, widespread, proven causes of human disease.
Each year preventable exposures to chemical toxins sicken and kill
thousands of persons of all ages in the United States and around the
world. These hazards must be confronted. They cannot be wished away.
Reduction of exposures to chemical toxins will prevent thousands of
deaths and will improve the quality of hundreds of thousands of lives."
Is there any evidence that these claims are true?
LEAD POISONING: "Lead poisoning is epidemic among young U.S. children,"
Landrigan writes. "The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that
3 to 4 million American pre-school children have blood lead levels
above 10 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dl). Blood lead levels in this
range in young children have been shown to cause depression of
neurological and psychological function, effects that appear to be
permanent."
(In 1993, the National Research Council of the National Academy of
Sciences published the estimate that 6 million American children and
400,000 fetuses, at any given time, have 10 mcg/dl lead in their blood,
or more, and that this level of lead "places them at risk of adverse
health effects"--including reduced IQ and reduced ability to
concentrate.[3])
ASBESTOS: "Asbestos in the workplace has created an absolute disaster,"
says Landrigan. By the year 2000, an estimated 300,000 American workers
will have been killed by exposure to asbestos. Deaths will continue to
occur well into the 21st century. With the overseas spread of asbestos-
containing building materials, the pandemic [wide epidemic] is now
extending to the third world."
OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE: "Studies conducted in New York state have
estimated that 50,000 to 70,000 workers die each year from chronic
occupational diseases resulting from past exposures to toxic
substances," Landrigan writes. "Included are lung cancers and
mesothelioma [cancer of the lining of the chest cavity] from asbestos
exposure; bladder cancer among dye workers; leukemia and lymphoma in
workers exposed to benzene and ionizing radiation; chronic bronchitis
in workers exposed to dusts; disorders of the nervous system (including
possibly dementia, Parkinson's disease, and motoneuron disease [Lou
Gehrig's disease]) in workers exposed to pesticides, solvents, and
certain other neurotoxins; renal [kidney] failure in workers exposed to
lead; and cardiovascular disease in workers exposed to carbon monoxide
and carbon disulfide."
In addition to what is known, millions of American workers are being
exposed to chemicals whose effects are unknown because 80% [or 48,000]
of the 60,000 chemicals now in use have never been tested for their
carcinogenic [cancer-causing], neurotoxic, immunotoxic, or other toxic
effects, Landrigan says.
In addition to the 50,000 to 70,000 deaths cause by toxic exposures in
the workplace each year, an estimated 350,000 new cases of illness
occur among workers each year from toxic exposures on the job,
Landrigan says.
CANCER: Between 1950 and 1988, for U.S. whites, age-adjusted incidence
[occurrence] for all forms of cancer rose by 43.5% and age-adjusted
cancer mortality [deaths] increased by 2.9%.
"Explanations for these increases do not exist," says Landrigan. "They
do not appear to be attributable solely to changes in cigarette
smoking." Several of the cancers for which increased incidence at all
ages (and mortality above age 55) have been noted in a number of
industrialized nations are not known to be related to smoking: these
include multiple myeloma [cancer of the bone marrow], brain cancer,
cancer of the breast, testicular cancer, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
"Changes in competing causes of death, improved access to health care,
and alterations in diagnostic technology also do not appear to account
entirely for the observed changes in cancer incidence and mortality,"
says Landrigan.
During 1993, the relationship of toxic chemicals to breast cancer came
into sharp focus. Cancer of the female breast has increased 58% during
the past 35 years. Even when better diagnosis (mammography) is taken
into account, it appears that breast cancer is increasing at a steady
one percent per year. In 1940, an American woman's lifetime risk of
getting breast cancer was one in 16; today it is one in 8--a rate that
warrants the term "epidemic." A review of recent studies, by Devra Lee
Davis and others, appearing in ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES in
1993, offered many lines of evidence linking breast cancer to
"xenoestrogens"--xeno from the Greek word for "stranger or
foreigner."[4] Xenoestrogens are common toxic chemicals that mimic, or
interfere with, the body's natural estrogen. Estrogen is female sex
hormone--the chemical in blood that gives rise to a woman's monthly
cycle. In the 1990s, it has been discovered that many common industrial
chemicals and pesticides mimic hormones and thus can interfere with
fundamental bodily processes. (See RHWN #365.) DDT, methoxychlor,
chlordecone (kepone), PCBs, atrazine (and other triazines), benzene,
and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs], among others, can act like
sex hormones and interfere with fundamental biological processes, such
as reproduction, in wildlife and humans. PAHs are produced by
automobiles, by burning of fossil fuels, and by incinerators.
Pesticides and other xenoestrogens are manufactured by firms such as
DuPont, Monsanto, and Dow.
Davis and her colleagues revealed that xenoestrogens stimulate the
growth of cells in the breast, very possibly giving rise to cancer.
From studies of humans and laboratory animals Davis and her colleagues
found compelling evidence that estrogens lie at the heart of the breast
cancer problem, and that xenoestrogens very well may be causally
related to the epidemic.
From epidemiological studies, there is evidence that exposure of
females to xenoestrogens while in the womb can increase their risk of
breast cancer as adults. And in 1993, several studies raised the
possibility that exposure of males to xenoestrogens while in the womb
reduces their ability to produce sperm after they mature. The average
male today produces only half as much sperm as his grandfather did, and
exposure to environmental toxins may well be the cause of this decline.
[5] (If this decline were to continue at historical rates, humans in
industrialized countries would have difficulty reproducing themselves
by about the year 2020.) Furthermore, there is now evidence that
prostate cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths in U.S. men
(after lung cancer) is linked to xenoestrogens.
Journals published by the American Association for the Advancement of
Science, and the American Chemical Society, as well as the American
Public Health Association, in 1993 took official notice of this new
information about chlorinated chemicals and human health. Prime Time on
ABC TV aired an exploratory program on breast cancer and DDT. But for
the most part the mass media in 1993 continued to promote the view that
the connection between chemicals and ill health is imaginary and that
the public suffers from "chemophobia."
Without public understanding of current scientific and medical views,
public policy cannot very well protect public health. As Philip
Landrigan said in 1992, calling for a policy of "containment:"
"The tragedy of environmental diseases is that they are highly
preventable. Toxic environmental diseases arise as a direct consequence
of human activity and can therefore, in theory, be prevented through
modification of that activity. The control of toxic disease does not
require changing the behavior of millions of addicted or habituated
individuals, only the containment of common sources of exposure to
chemical toxins. Such containment is demonstrably achievable through
legislation, regulation, and other well-understood mechanisms of
communal action. Children must be protected from exposure to lead.
Automotive and industrial atmospheric emissions must be curbed.
Dangerous chemicals in the work environment must be replaced with safe
substitutes; hazardous processes must be enclosed and ventilated; and
workers and consumers must be provided with knowledge, training, and
protective equipment. Premarket testing of new chemicals and processes
constitutes a very effective approach to the prevention of toxic
disease."[2]

The Solow model is a great way to examine the inputs to economic growth. But the practice questions can be, well, tough! If you're stumped, you're not alone.
Since we're about halfway through our series on the Solow model, I wanted to address a couple of your questions before we move onto our next topic.
Country A has K=10,000 and produces GDP according to the following equation: GDP=5√K.
1) If the country devotes 25% of its GDP to making investment goods, how much is the country investing?
2) If 1% of all machines become worthless every year (they depreciate, in other words) in Country A, GDP is...?
Check out Marginal Revolution University's new Office Hours video and let me know what you think. Or, submit a different question and we just may cover it next time!

I recently acquired this bike from a good friend planning to use it as a template for a batch of Attitudes I'm getting repainted in Sunburst. I had no idea just how nice this fuselage was going to be. The colors are extremely vidvid, with minimal fade. There are only a couple small nicks here and there. The most unfortunate thing is a couple spots of under paint corrosion around the bottom bracket and down tube cable exits, otherwise it's nearly perfect.
Every now and then I have the pleasure of working on something really special. At the moment I'm assisting a friend with some minor restoration work on this beautiful 1986 Fat Chance Titanium. This is the first ever Fat Ti bike welded by Gary Helfrich before he left Fat Chance to start Merlin. Arguably, this is the first ever Titanium mountain bike, who knows. The geometry is identical to the Team Comp right down to the box crown fork. Gary built the bike to showcase what he could do in Titanium and when Chris said it wasn't something he was ready to do Gary left and started Merlin. The rest as they say is history.
Since the bike is in such good shape I'm merely assisting with some build details and component selection. As I mentioned the frame was welded up in 86, but the bike was assembled in 87. So, the parts are a bit of a mixed bag of M730 XT and some other bits. Planned changes include Specialized yellow label Ground Control tires, M730 XT front brakes, older Turbo or Avocet Racing seat, maybe black M730 cranks (doubt it though), some adjustment to housing lengths and a general tune up.
More pics to come when it's finished.


In the House of Commons on April 9th, 2008. See this statement in context.
April 9th, 2008 / 2:20 p.m.
Mr. Speaker, for half a century, Canada has pursued immigration goals based on fairness and objectivity. Why is the Prime Minister trying to get rid of these principles of fairness and objectivity? Why does he want to replace them with abusive powers in the hands of his minister, to replace open arms with closed doors?


The Winnipeg Jets, in conjunction with the National Hockey League, today announced that forward Kyle Connor has been named the NHL's First Star of the Week for the week ending March 24/19.
Connor, 22, opened the week with a goal and an assist in Winnipeg's 3-2 win over Los Angeles on Monday. On Wednesday, the product of Shelby Township, Mich. had another two-point effort (1G, 1A) in the Jets' 3-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. After he was held off the scoresheet on Thursday at Vegas, Connor recorded his first career hat trick and added an assist in Winnipeg's 5-0 win over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. His third goal against the Predators was his 32nd of the season to set a new career high. Connor led the NHL with five goals and was tied for top spot with eight points last week.
On the season, Connor has set new career highs for points (61), goals (32), and assists (29) in 75 games. He is the fifth player in franchise history to record multiple 30-goal seasons after tallying 31 in last year's rookie campaign and he's just the second player to do so in his first two full seasons, joining Patrik Laine.
This is the first time this season and the second time in his career that Connor has been selected in the NHL's Three Stars of the Week. He is the eighth Jets player to be selected in 2018-19 after Winnipeg had eight appearances in the Three Stars of the Week last season.

Why migrate from http to https? Four Compelling Reasons.
In today's climate of hackers and web security breaches, PLUS Google pushing sites to be more secure, it's more important than ever to make your WordPress website HTTPS.
Starting October 2017, Google Chrome is showing a "Not Secure" warning when users enter text in a form on an HTTP page? Is your website ready?
Before we jump into the main reasons why you should migrate from http to https, you might be wondering what is HTTPS.
HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure. It is a protocol used for secure communications over the internet. Communication over HTTPS is encrypted between the client and the server so no one can tamper with the data, and your website data isn't forged.
When you access most websites, the URL usually begins with HTTP. All of these sites are unsecured and it's a major problem.
Believe it or not, there are people out there making replicas of websites and diverting traffic in an effort to steal from you. It's important that you don't allow this to happen to you and your followers!
Check for the GREEN LOCK.
An HTTPS secure website shows a Green Lock in their browser. You (and everyone else on the internet) need to be checking for the Green Lock in their browser before entering personal information into the website.
Google has been pushing sites to be more secure and now they're saying it's past time to move your sites over to HTTPS. If your site is HTTPS, Google is giving an SEO ranking boost to secure sites. So— all those other websites, your competitors, competing for position on search engine results pages that aren't HTTPS, you can start ranking higher than them. Double bonus!
Simply put, you'll rank better in SEO being HTTPS!
SSL (which stands for Secure Sockets Layer) protects your site data and visitors. It is a protocol which creates a secure connection between a client and the server over which to send information.
In a nut shell, it encrypts data transferred over the web like form submissions and credit card transactions.
If you're taking any kind of payments on your website (think ecommerce and membership sites), you have to have SSL!
SSL certificates used to be quite expensive, but today switching to SSL is affordable and most hosting providers (like Bluehost) now offer this additional service.
What's the process of changing your WordPress site from HTTP to HTTPS?
At Your Marketing BFF, we are prepared to help our clients and readers make this transition as easy as possible with little to no interruption to your website.
Keep in mind that while the domain of your website is not changing, the address to get there is. There are a lot of minor but important details in moving sites from HTTP to HTTPS, so I wouldn't suggest this as a DIY.
Also, if you want to grow and make money from your site, this isn't a decision about if you should make the switch, but when. And I'd suggest contacting us sooner rather than later so you can stay ahead of the competition!


Whip up a batch of your famous cookies without using all your counter space! The KitchenAid mini artisan stand mixer gives you all the power of a larger stand mixer--all in a conveniently sized smaller package! From KitchenAid.
KitchenAid 3.5qt. Artisan Stand Mixer with Flex Edge Beater is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 110.
Rated 5 out of 5 by karensiraj from Love my mixer The perfect size and weight for everyday use. It can handle all non holiday cookies and cakes. Leaving the 6qt which is way too heavy in the cabinet except for Holiday baking. So far all KA power hub attachments have worked great. I got the Orange Sorbet Color but it's more Lemon Yellow in color. Brightens the whole kitchen up.
Rated 3 out of 5 by lanov from HAD TO RETURN .I bought this just before Christmas. I am 71 years old with back and hip issues. My large Kitchenaid stand mixer was too heavy for me to move around the kitchen, so with the mini being much lighter, figured it would be perfect. QVC advertised that all of the attachments for the larger stand mixer would fit the mini, however I tried to put the grinder attachment on the mini and it wouldn't go into the hub all the way. My husband tried it several times to no avail. I use my grinder attachment as well as the slicer attachment quite frequently on my large stand mixer so I know that I would have used them even more frequently on the mini. So I returned the mini and requested a replacement hoping that this defect on the mini was just a fluke on that one mixer and that the replacement I have requested will be correct.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good Things Come In Small Packages My old Sunbeam mixer quit working after many great years of service. Really wanted a KitchenAid, but they were all too big to fit on the storage shelf which lowers behind a cabinet door. When they came out with the mini I was thrilled. Though it is an investment, I have had the mixer for almost a year and have not experienced a problem or a moment of regret. It has performed beautifully. Quiet and powerful it has handled everything from delicate batters to pizza and bread dough. Even though the coated beaters are dishwasher safe, I find them to easy to wash by hand. I did purchase the handled bowl for the mixer and it is easier to use as well as giving me an additional bowl for icings, meringues and more involved recipes. If you are on the fence, my advice, don't hesitate. It's great!
Rated 5 out of 5 by tkbrad from Great Little Mixer This is a wonderful little mixer! I have downsized to a smaller home, which means less counter space. Which meant I had to downsize my large KitchenAid (which I have had for 30 years). This is a fantastic mixer,not as heavy, nice and compact, but still has the power I need for cakes, mashed potatoes, etc. Plus I enjoy that beater with the scraper and the glorious tabasco red color for a pop of color in my kitchen!
Rated 5 out of 5 by rocknbetty from Beautiful Red Mixer! I got this for Christmas and really like it. My grandson and I just made mashed potatoes and they were great. This size is perfect for me. I have the larger mixer but I think this smaller size will be used more. Please bring a glass bowl with a handle for the 3.5 qt.
Rated 3 out of 5 by rm86004 from Somewhat Disappointed Wife was excited to receive for Christmas, but it did not come with all the attachments. Missing the flex beater. A bit of a bummer.

Dr. Dre Possibly Teased GTA Online's Big Holiday DLC
by Aron Gerencser published 1 year ago 1 year ago
It looks like Dr. Dre is making a return to Grand Theft Auto Online in the next major DLC, whenever that will launch sometime this holiday season. In an Instagram post, it was teased that the artist is recording music for GTA, and since we get a huge annual update at the end of the year, it is easy to assume that's when we'll see him return.
Dr. Dre, real name Andre Romelle Young, is a prolific figure in the music industry and has tangled with Rockstar Games before. Having a cameo appearance as himself in The Cayo Perico Heist, Dr. Dre already canonically inhabits the GTA universe, and is an associate of the player character in Online.
Striking a deal with such a big name is something few studios could afford or negotiate, but Rockstar is the big leagues. Even so, once you've got Dr. Dre on board, you might as well get as much out of the partnership as you can, right?
In an Instagram post from travel blogger "gwil34" with whom Dr. Dre met, it was revealed that the artist is currently working on new music "for Grand Theft Auto game in December", as it was put. We know that GTA 5: Expanded and Enhanced is coming in March 2022, and the projected release for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition is late October or sometime in November, so that leaves some DLC.
Of course, there is a possibility that The Definitive Edition is coming later in the year. Why would it require new music though? Easy - licenses. Grand Theft Auto games have gradually lost real songs from the in-game radio stations over the years as licensing deals between Rockstar and various music labels lapsed. In some cases they were replaced, but often it ended with removals.
The Definitive Edition is definitely going to be missing a lot of the songs that were initially available in GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas, so it is possible that Rockstar is tapping talent they have current partnerships with to fill up those radio stations. It's also possible that these remasters will only launch in December, since we still don't have a release date.
Taking all of this into account, our bet still lies with the big end of year GTA Online DLC. Dr Dre already appeared in major DLC for the multiplayer mode, and having an artist like him show up in the next big DLC would be a great popularity booster - not that GTA Online is in any desperate need for one of those.
As is usually the case with these situations, we'll just have to wait and see.


La Musée du Louvre is home to a stunning collection of art: 60.000 square meters of display room house about 35.000 pieces art.
If you took one minute to appreciate each of them and worked your way through the museum for five full working days a week, it would take you about three months to see the whole collection on display. At which point you would still need to see the other 90% of the collection that is in storage.
It was originally built over 800 years ago to ward of Viking raids after which it served as France's national treasury and became the royal palace before finally being turned into a museum about 200 year ago. Its 2000 strong personnel work hard to attract nearly 8 million visitors per year at a budget of almost 200 million Euro. The Louvre is conveniently located in the centre of the universe: Paris.
All in all, the French have good reason to call it 'le Grand Louvre'.
It took plenty of resources such as money, time and talent to create something this grand. In an age of extreme affluence we could and should be building Louvres all over the globe. The United Arab Emirates are planning to do just that in Abu Dhabi.
I'm sure they will throw a lot of money in the effort to hire the worlds finest architects and to buy the worlds finest pieces of art. For starters they paid a whooping 500 million dollar just to use the name 'Louvre'. With their notoriously deep pockets, they seem to have ample resources at their disposal.
Impressive but not very imaginative.
Sometimes a lack of resources can be a infinite source for creative thought. It was the lack of bandwidth and storage capacity witch catapulted the development of good audio compression techniques, resulting in the invention of the MP3 format.
This ultimately lead to a nifty little devices like Apple's iPod. Interestingly the iPod lacks a lot of the buttons and options than most other MP3 players have on offer. It is by far the most popular digital music player on the planet.
So what kind of grand experience would you design if we took away half of the Louvres budget? How would you design the Louvre if an earthquake destroyed its majestic real estate? What if you had to move the Louvre to the moon? What if some thieve managed to steal all 300.000 pieces of art? Or a bit more cruel: what if some spell took away all of the Louvre's visitors ability to see?
What kind of Louvres can you come up with?

I think I'd ask other people who could still see to come in and explain what was on the paintings and how the sculptures feel. It'd make people experience the art in a much more interesting way.
Nice! Alternatively one could create a Museam that 'displays' sound (music!) instead of paintings and sculptures….
Oh la la! Bite your tongue! Such terrible misfortunes you speak of to befall the beloved Louvre of Paris……..:)! Good post, although I wish you told more about how you liked different pieces of work in the Louvre and your experience….Glad you enjoyed my post on the Louvre as well.
Hi Farnoosh…thanks for stopping by!

A closer look at Lamb Weston's new Innovation Center
Earlier this year, Lamb Weston's opened its new Innovation Center in Richland. Lamb Weston planned it as a state of the art, innovation center with co-creation spaces, fully functioning kitchens, pilot line, interactive areas and a resource for employees; in short a place where possibilities could become reality. Having already started the building phase for the project, Lamb Weston approached long time collaborating agency Williams Murray Hamm (WMH) in March 2016 to create the overall theme and interiors. The Center opened to employees on 24 June and to Lamb Weston customers soon after. WMH had previously helped Lamb Weston relaunch its new global positioning and identity: to be the most inventive potato company in the world. The Innovation Center would express this purpose and help find new, more inventive ways of collaboration between customers and Lamb Weston staff. Intended as a flagship Lamb Weston US building, the Innovation Center needed to be a place that captured the imagination and be worthy of the claim 'if you dream it, you can make it here'.
Using the playful design it had created for the brand identity, WMH produced a fully sensory experience for the many spaces in the Center. Bright and light, visitors encounter witty and striking wall graphics at every turn. Interactive areas have been created to bring to life the history of the business, its vision and values and to relate employee stories. Breakout rooms inspire new and innovative ways of working together. Deborah L. Dihel, Ph.D. senior director Research and Innovation at Lamb Weston:
"Our new Innovation Center is absolutely incredible. WMH was the perfect partner to help us communicate Lamb Weston's brand promise throughout the building in a distinctive and memorable way." "The design elements set the stage as soon as our visitors see us from the street, and their experiences are enhanced further as they enter and work in the space." "WMH's design communicates our history of successful innovation, yet at the same time, inspires all who enter to be futuristic, be inventive and make their potato dreams a reality."

For years people have coveted a healthy beautiful head of hair, but as time goes on some suffer from hair loss or inherit hereditary baldness. There is an estimated 80 million men and women in America that are affected by hair loss. Whatever the cause is, finding a solution is top priority for most people.
There are many temporary solutions that people can explore such as wigs or hairpieces to name a couple. Those options can be very expensive over time and even time consuming to install or wear daily. Many people want a more permanent yet natural solution but are unaware of their options. Hair Restoration is a great option for those who are suffering from hair loss. These various procedures can be tailored to meet your specific hair needs.
People who suffer from hair loss have many different options to restore their hair based on the severity and location of the hair loss. Our experienced hair restoration and plastic surgeons provide minimally invasive hair transplant treatments that usually avoid incisions, scars and stitches. Consult with your physician to choose the perfect procedure for your hair restoration needs, as they will be able to answer any questions and concerns that you may have.
•Improved Appearance: People who suffer from balding become less confident in their looks, which is why they initially seek procedures to rectify this issue. After they successfully go through with hair restoration, they feel much more confident with their improved looks.
•Immediate Solution: Many hair restoration procedures provide immediate results.
•Cost Effective: While there are various temporary solutions for hair loss like wigs and hairpieces, a hair transplant is a permanent, one-time cost.
At Lexington Plastic Surgeons, we have the nation's leading surgeons that specialize in Hair Restoration procedures, call us today to book your FREE consultation.


Without law there is no order or freedom. When is bankruptcy a law begins a process of deterioration of the living and the policy that leads to uncertain situations. It is so detrimental to break a law as used disproportionately to attack or destroy an adversary. The law must have a principle of generality in the sense that there are no laws against specific individuals or specific groups. It is always benefitial to have someone on your side who knows about laws, like VBB Abogados, in order to avoid problems and get to know politics a bit better.
The law on political parties, on which so much effort put Aznar while he ruled, was to leave out of combat to Herri Batasuna. He succeeded in a first attempt, but after a few years those stands that represented the political arm of ETA, they changed their name and today govern in some basque institutions. It ended with terrorism etarra, but those ideas were not suppressed by law, but are in force and subject to the public debate in the Basque country.
The law has to be objective and not manipulable. The whole law too broken is bad and it is for the legislator to abrogate the law or change it, so that the contempt in which it has fallen this ordinance manipulated does not extend to laws that are more fair. The conflict between the Government of Spain and the Government of Catalonia, that doesn't necessarily equate to a conflict between the Spanish and the catalans, should be channelled through the policy, long discussions, assignments and requirements, to find a point of agreement before it's too late.
How does political activism work?
It is easy to see the renewed activism of the judiciary in our country. When there are thousands of cases of political corruption pending trial endless is an indication that something substantial is failing in the system. It may be due to lack of resources. But it is also by the ease with which political power and civil society know how to interfere in the administration of justice. A society in which the law and the courts are exploited is a sick society that does not thrive and that has serious problems with freedom. The fulfillment of the law, I repeat, it is inevitable to live in a society minimally just. To circumvent a law by the State has dire consequences. But take refuge in the law to replace the action policy is also unfortunate.
No one was surprised the emergence of groups that they call the "laws unwritten of the gods" to end precisely as the Antigone, with the abuse of laws were violated or laws are used politically.

As you read this column for the second week of August, we are all anticipating the week ahead when school will begin again with all the practices and even homework soon. It will require some change in the way we have been during the summer when children may have slept late and then watched TV, or played electronic games part of the day. Now we will all be required to get up early and rush into the day. That will require some change ,which has been anticipated.
At the same time, those no longer children who have graduated from high school are going off to college, leaving us with one or more less people at home, and worries about how this change will play out as the youth grows up and becomes responsible for their own destiny. As much as we would like to keep them safe and secure forever, that is not why they were born. They must grow up. It reminds all of us that change in our lives is inevitable. Children grow up, we get older, we change jobs. Some change is welcome, but we fight against other changes in life.
The hymn is based on the words from Lamentations 3:22-23, a promise of God's faithfulness no matter what. God's mercies are new every morning as each day is a new day.


I have an EX3. Two years old, no problems. Do people send these to Sony periodically for "a check up"?
My personal feeling is that "If it ain't broke... keep it working"
Might want to do a Auto FB adjust once in a while if you're using the stock lens.
Never serviced any of my EX's other than a good clean with a paint brush to get dust and dirt out of all the little corners etc. Also as suggested above I always used to check the FB every month or so.


26/04/45 The Henderson Bros were a knockout. In the first place they were almost as amused and interested to meet me as I was to meet them. I mention this not only because of course I was pleased but also because it may have biassed me in their favour. The brother who didn't write the book was a real charmer – sense of humour and all – and the one who did was infinitely less intolerant and non-conformist than I expected. The whole farm was like a toy farm, green paint and tarmac roads and as neat and tidy as a doll's house. But the buildings weren't exceptional in any way. The non-writer met us and said to me "Well I know all about you because I've read about you" so I said "Well that's easy. I've read all about you." Then later the other one said "Well I've read and enjoyed both your books and I must tell you there's one thing I very much envy – your style." So I said "But Mr Henderson I thought your book was so nicely written." And Diana said "Look at the 2 authors – you ought to take a photograph." And the other brothers rushed off and got a camera and took 2. I shall be fearfully pleased if it comes out but he was rather slow and we both made fearful faces.
As to the actual farming – I could see no evidence that what he said in the book wasn't true and the farm certainly had an air which I have never seen on any other. He told me they carried 12 times the stock per acre, 7 times per man hour, and I'm not sure about these 2 figures but I think 9 times per capital invested and 8 times per valuation as the average for the district. I said "That seems to me to mean that you have no margin of error in war time. If you had even one crop failure you'd come rather badly unstuck." He said "That's exactly it. We can't have anything like a crop failure." You know it may be possible on 80 acres. They had one tractor and 25 acres of grass. That leaves 55 acres to cultivate. It seems to me that having built up fertility you could get round the 55 acres with one tractor even in the very worst seasons so that you didn't have failures from being late or skimping cultivations as people on larger acreages sometimes have to do.
Then he told me that when Rob (Hudson, Min of Ag) visited them he asked them a lot of questions like this "If you could keep your wheat how much would you make?" And they could always answer immediately from reference to their books. I believe they probably answered accurately too because all the food, etc., is weighed and fed to an ounce.
The sugar beet land is the great problem here at the moment. It's getting later and later and it won't rain and we've done every known cultivation and we can't get anything but knots and stones. I was seriously worried but Pat and Lilwell came over tonight and said theirs was much worse and Pat said Clyde Higgs told him he'd still got oats to get in. So obviously we aren't doing any worse than anyone else.
The baby is now an absolute certainty. I'm still not the least interested in it but fairly resigned and I'm feeling rather better.
The news is wonderful but it could still be quicker for my liking. The Germans must have more of an army than we say if they can hold us so long on the Elbe.
03/05/45 First Thomas. I took him to Bruce (Dr Bruce Scott Williamson a Harley Street specialist and brother of 'Dod', the Peckham doctor and friend) on his way to London the other day and he was quite openly very surprised. He said "I didn't expect him to look at all like this. I didn't expect him to be that colour." But after this he behaved with his usual gravity. I haven't any faith in Bruce and he himself admitted that the child was a complete surprise to him. If we had followed his advice from the beginning he would probably look as Bruce expected him to look. But anyway let me know what you think about it. O gosh I do hate writing letters. I've really got a lot to say but this makes my back, wrist and head ache and gives me indigestion. Why the hell don't you come home and save me all this trouble. Thomas had a lovely time in London – 3 ice creams, cinema and was very happy to go off to school. He is getting extremely good looking now his teeth are through. I had his hair cut at Trumpers and in his longs he looked awfully sweet. Everyone is always rather taken aback by his abrupt and rather ungracious way of talking.
08/05/45 V day. (Later known as VE day) It's awfully funny how little excitement one feels about the actual day – I suppose because it's been so long drawn out. But I have a deep feeling that one day this year you will now come home for good – which is something I can't visualise or believe in, but which I am very happy to think about. The curious thing is that Molly and Gib are here and it's really the first time they have stayed with us since the beginning. Together we heard Chamberlain announce it and Churchill end it. We are opening a bottle of champagne and then we are going to have a bonfire. The men will come and all the little boys in the village and the bonfire will be some hedge trimmings on the Pits and as they have been there for years we ought to get plenty of rabbits out too. I've got some beer to give them all to drink and Rose is home so she will stay up till 11 which will be very exciting.
Mrs Hig said this morning "Where's your flag?" I said I hadn't got one. So she said "Well you aren't patronising the boss much!" So I said "How d'you mean?" Mr. Donaldson, of course. You aren't patronising him much." So I thought I'd better have a bonfire.
09/05/45 The bonfire was a great success. All the men drank a lot of beer and then we made an effigy of 'old 'itler' out of a sack and marched up to the pits where we started a fire that burned for about 2 hours. All the little boys from the village were there and everybody stayed up late and it turned out to have been just the thing.
No other news really except I'm waiting to hear from you. It is rather exciting isn't it – only so awfully difficult to believe. One is always saying things like 'after the war'. But apart from anything else it's so wonderful to think the actual fighting is over.
11/05/45 I am feeling very happy and also very well. It has been a change having amusing guests and I'm feeling particularly well and energetic. I've lost my figure entirely (2 months) but I haven't yet got to the cumbersome stage at all. So I have a good excuse for never doing anything without yet being particularly incapacitated.
The weather is lovely though, our fortune depends on it raining soon and I have made some particularly delicious cream cheese.
13/05/45 In the Daily Express this morning it says demobilisation will start on June 18th and Groups 1-11 will come out then. One can't take too much notice of this because the Daily Express always likes to pretend knowledge no one has really got. But if it's about right it sounds as though you might be out some time in July even without compassionate leave. I wish I knew for certain when you would come. It's partly not being certain about things that make me apprehensive and easily depressed.
I'm feeling physically much fitter. I felt livery and apathetic for a couple of months. Now I feel pretty well.
You ask when harvest really begins. Well we generally start cutting the last week in July but usually there isn't much pressure until about the first week in August. This year the corn harvest should be comparatively easy but we hope to start lifting potatoes at the same time and that will be the horror. Ideally you ought to be here by about the 18th of July to get the hang of things, etc., before it becomes a whirl. But I don't suppose you'll manage that. Anyway I should wait till there's some definite news about demobilisation before you do anything because we ought to hear about that soon now. And by the way, don't spoil the Russian job for a ha'p'orth of tar because once I know you are coming I can always put up with an extra week or 2 if it's necessary and I want you to finish up well.
The toilet paper came two days ago. Thanks so much.
I've taken the line in my letter which I also take in my mind that you've got to get out by August and that's all there is to it. I prefer to take that line. But of course I know if you can't you can't. And so this is the other side in case you can't.
Mary may come in June. If she does that would at least be a help from the point of view of my living entirely alone here. If she doesn't I don't really know what to say about that side of it. I know all doctors, etc., think it impossible and fantastic but I do not know how to alter it. I'm not going to have any more landgirls. I'd sooner run any risk and I don't see who else there is to get.
As to the farm. As long as we can keep the 4 Germans (prisoners) (which costs £10 a week but might be justified even on financial grounds) all I really have to do is walk round and give orders. I did a bit of sob stuff on Clyde Higgs the other day and he promised me that if anyone looked like taking them away he'd interfere. The only real risk then is something unexpected. And probably God looks after his own. He did last time because he sent Jane here just the one night I had the miscarriage.
In any case as you want the baby I'm putting the baby first. If anything goes wrong you'll lose a lot of money but you probably won't lose anything more valuable.


Learning Foundation volunteers and staff were busy sorting through pens, pencils, crayons, lunch bags, etc., as they organize and pack for the Good Backpack Program on August 15th 2018. At the end of the day, over 500 backpacks were filled with school supplies for local students!
The purpose of the Good Backpack Program is to ensure that all children and youth have the opportunity to participate completely in their education, regardless of their family's financial status or means.
Schools in communities of greater need will receive a supply of backpacks in advance of the school year to assist students. This is done quietly and confidentially, and staff may have had conversations with families and students at the end of last school year to let them know that support would be provided.
In schools where backpacks have not been provided in advance, students can still access a backpack through discussion with school staff. These discussions can be quiet and confidential.
Since all of the supplies for the Good Backpack Program are purchased with donations, we'll have as many backpacks to hand out as our fundraising has been successful!
A thank you to our major sponsors of the program: The Belleville Senators, Staples, CLAC-Building Communities Together (Local Fire Fighters), and the United Way of Hastings and Prince Edward (final donation).
