PRESENTATION: Report of Ukrainian Testimonies by Lemkin Centre
08.12.2022, 15:00 - 15:30 Main Stage - Level 0 Human security and transitional justice
Lemkin Centre
In response to the Russian aggression against Ukraine, the Pilecki Institute set up the Center for Documenting Russian Crimes in Ukraine under the name of Rafał Lemkin (Lemkin Center) already in the first days after the invasion. The mission of the Lemkin Center is to collect individual eyewitness accounts of the civilian population and create an archive established by scientists that will consolidate the accounts of crimes committed by the Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine
Testimonials in three forms – written questionnaires completed by refugees in Poland and film reports, most often recorded in Ukraine, as well as audio reports – are collected with absolute observance of data security standards and special care for the well-being of witnesses. The Lemkin Center has started cooperation with over a hundred volunteers and collaborators who speak Ukrainian and Russian languages, as well as with researchers of the crimes of 20th-century totalitarian regimes and experts in international law.
During the W4UA Summit, a report will be launched summarizing the work of the Lemkin Center so far. Prof Magdalena Gawin will present a brief information on why and for what purpose it was established, also talking about the methods of our work. Above all, however, the presentation will include information on the number of testimonies collected, detailed information on the number of individual crimes and manifestations of human rights violations, as well as a summary of which oblasts and cities in Ukraine are most numerously represented in the submitted testimonies. We will recall examples of specific crimes, as well as present examples of stories submitted in the form of accounts at the Lemkin Center. In addition, we will indicate some leading topics in the collected material. We will also try to briefly present the picture of the war that emerges from the collected accounts.

Archaeological Sites Worth Visiting in Costa Rica… Really? I mean, Costa Rica is about nature, and wildlife, and rainforest and all that, but there are no pyramids or such… Yes! But, still! There are some magnificent places, surrounded by extreme nature that can whisper stories of times long gone, but still here, living in the remaining rocks.
Costa Rica is famous for a lot of things; volcanoes, beaches, national parks teeming with life, zip lining, rafting, etc. Still, a lot of treasures in the country are often overlooked. Among the attractions, there are some unique archeological sites.
And although they are no rivel for places live Teotihuacan, Copan, or Machu Picchu, but still, there are at least two attractions worth the time and visit. Both of these sites are now accessible and ready to receive the amazement of travelers.
Guayabo has long been known as a national monument by the Costa Rican Government. It's located east of San José, north of the city of Turrialba.
There are tours, which take you into the National Monument and specialized guides that can explain the last detail of the place.
On the way in, you will find that the last few miles, before arriving to the monument, can be a bit bumpy, but completely accessible for any vehicle. The monument has been designated a World Heritage Civil Engineering site.
Lately, there has been a deep dig going on, with the purpose of learning about the ancient construction techniques. The goal is to allow for reconstruction and preservation in the most authentic manner conceivable. Recent dating with Carbon 14 indicates Guayabo was built between 900 and 1100 A.D. Which means that it is more than 900 hundred years old.
There is an easy 1-mile trail, called Sendero Los Montículos, that takes you through the forest, past mounds, walkways, aqueducts, stone stairs, water storage tanks, and rectangular stone tombs. The engineering, especially around the management of water resources, is remarkable. Don't miss the petroglyph (low relief carving in stone) in a small covered display area near the visitors' center.
And lately with the Turrialba Volcano erupting since 2014the combination can be magical. You cannot climb to the volcano, but if you are lucky you can witness some of its magnificent eruptions from anywhere in the nearby valley or mountains.
Archaeological Zone Ranch 6 is an unpolished name for a delightful site in Palmar Sur, the far south of Costa Rica. It is also known sometimes as the Parque Arqueológico, Las Esferas de Diquís, etc. If you mention "Las esferas," the spheres, any local will understand what you are talking about.
The site is located just a few miles south of Palmar Norte on the Inter-American Highway. The road is easily reached in any vehicle. There are a newly opened visitors' center and a transportation area to facilitate parking, buses, etc.
The spheres are pre-Columbian man-made stone balls. They range in size from 4 to 60 inches in diameter and up to 16 tons in weight. They are extraordinarily round and uniform. For a great number of years, this quality led many to question whether they were the result of some natural phenomenon. The four primary locations of the spheres were named by UNESCO as World Heritage sites in June of 2014.
The Park has well-marked trails with explanatory signs. The trails wind around past working plantain fields and through brush. There are some spheres and some mounds, and they are all in cleared grassy areas.
You may find interesting also: Is the Turrialba Volcano Region the new Arenal?
The spheres attract significant attention for their mystery. One Spanish astrologist tried to organize an international rock concert at the site. There was a lot of publicity and some talk of New Age mysticism, but they ended up wallowing in very earthy Costa Rican mud.
Dating the spheres is mostly a guessing game. There are starting dates as early as 300 B.C. and as late as 500 A.D. They were made for an extended period but were no longer being fabricated by 1500.
A trip to Finca 6 can easily be combined with travel to other stimulating destinations. It is not far from the main road leading to Puerto Jiménez, the jumping off point for the wilder areas of the Osa Penninsula. Just a couple miles south, you will find the lovely, and little known, town of Sierpe. Sierpe is one spot for pontoon boat tours of the mangrove swamps. Larger vessels take visitors to Isla del Caño, Corcovado, etc. It is also the point of embarkation for boat shuttles to Drake Bay.
There are a number of good hotels and great restaurants in Palmar Norte and Sierpe.

Waylon may be familiar to fans of Sara Pennypacker's well-regarded Clementine series, but now he has his own story. Straddling the line between young fiction and middle grade at 200 pages, this novel details some of the struggles of fourth grade, especially the growing sense of identity vs. the growing need to conform or at least consider the opinions of one's peers. Waylon also sees the ways his older sister, Neon, is changing, as she withdraws from the family and fully embraces her outsider-highschooler vibe.
I think this book will appeal to students who love mysteries, science, and stories about friendship issues. Throw in a new student and some critical scientific observations, and you have an entertaining and engaging story!

Just a Second (2011) by Steve Jenkins. This book takes time and makes it literal - sharing a variety of natural answers to how many X can happen in Y amounts of time (a second, a day, a week, etc.). I am hoping to use this as a mentor text to help kids wonder more about the world as they start thinking of ideas for their upcoming Passion Projects.
Why? (2005) by Lila Prap. I was hoping for a lot more with this book. Each page asks a question (Why do zebras have stripes? for example) and gives a series of goofy answers, along with the "scientific answer." The wonky formatting really bothered me, because sometimes you'd read the answers before you could find the question, and the silly answers just weren't that clever. I don't plan to use this one.
Daniel Finds a Poem (2016) by Micha Archer. Another miss for me. Daniel wants to write a poem for the upcoming poetry reading, so he asks all the animals in the park about poetry. He then knits all of their answers together into his poem. While I appreciate the idea that "poetry is everywhere," the fact that he simply plagiarizes his poem from others would really bother a lot of my literal, rule-following students.
P.S. Be Eleven (2013) by Rita Williams-Garcia. [Coretta Scott King Award Winner.] Book two in the Gaither sisters series picks up immediately where the One Crazy Summer left off. I enjoyed this book as well, though perhaps not quite as much as the first. It was interesting to see how the girls adjusted back to their "normal" lives after their time in CA visiting their mother. Looking forward to also reading book three!
The Collapse of Parenting: how we hurt our kids when we treat them like grown-ups (2015) by Dr. Leonard Sax. I had read some of Dr. Sax's writings on gender during my teacher training, so I was very interested in his newest book. So many of his case studies seemed to be pulled right from conversations that I have also had with parents who sometimes seem to expect school and teachers to handle some of what used to be parenting basics. Part 1 of the book lays out what he sees as the problems with current trends in parenting, while part 2 focuses on potential solutions. I have a lot of bookmarks to work through in trying to see how I can apply some of his advice to help my own students' parents!
I am launching a brand new book link up featuring Diverse Children's Books. It will run the first and third Saturdays of the month and be an opportunity for bloggers to share their links to reviews and posts about diverse books for children. I really hope you'll join us!
What is a Link-Up / Linky Party / Meme / Blog Hop?
There are many words for link parties (link-up, linkup, linky party, blog hop, blog meme, etc.) but the basic idea is the same: a site or group of sites hosts a regular event where other bloggers get together to share posts - often around a given topic or theme.
Interested bloggers will visit the main post, share their link in a linkup widget or a post comment, and visit other linked up blogs. These parties can be a great way to grow your blogging community, by finding like-minded bloggers with similar interests. Book-themed memes are also an incredible way to find out about new books or old favorites you might have missed!
The most important thing about sharing with a link-up is making sure that you share a permanent link to the specific post you are sharing - not just a general link to your blog. For example, http://www.thelogonauts.com/ is the main URL for this blog, while http://www.thelogonauts.com/2016/03/linky.html is the permanent link for this post. If you only share a link to your blog, people are going to be confused or disappointed and are far less likely to go looking around for your posts.
To find the permanent link for a post, click on the title of your post, and then copy and paste that URL into the link-up.
When sharing, please be sure that your post fits any theme or guidelines established by the hosts. Others will not click on spammy, off-topic posts or advertisements without any content. Don't post your favorite recipe to a photography link up, and don't post your review of a racy adult book on a children's book meme.
Link parties are a great way to drive traffic to your blog, but even more importantly, they are a wonderful way to find new resources and network with other bloggers! Put the time and effort in to read and comment on other posts in the linkup. Most linkups recommend commenting on at least three posts, but the more, the merrier. Follow up with folks who leave you comments too.
Hosts appreciate it when you follow them on social media, as well as when you share about the linkup as well. Tweet out about it, let your followers know you are sharing.
If the linkup has a button or logo, consider sharing it on your blog too. Some bloggers maintain a page for links to all the linkups they participate in, while others share the logo on every post that they write for a given meme. It's good practice to help others find these great communities too.
#IMWAYR - It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a blog meme where folks share about the books that they are reading. Jen of Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee of Unleashing Readers host a kidlit version every Monday.
#nfpbchallenge - The Nonfiction Picture Book Challenge is hosted by Alyson of Kid Lit Frenzy. Every Wednesday she shares great nonfiction resources for kids and invites other bloggers to share their favorite nonfiction posts too.
#PoetryFriday - Poetry Friday is a weekly roundup of great poetry and posts about poetry books and resources for teaching kids poetry. The host changes weekly, and you can find a full list of upcoming hosts here.
Other great teaching/children's book linkup communities include Marvelous Middle Grade Monday hosted by Shannon Messenger, Top Ten Tuesday hosted by the Broke and the Bookish, the Slice of Life Story Challenge (also on Tuesdays) hosted by Two Writing Teachers, and Celebrate This Week (Saturdays) hosted by Ruth Ayres. There are also many, many linkups open to bloggers more generally, but I have found that niche-specific linkups tend to generate more active communities and comments.
What are your favorite linkups?
India Opal Buloni is lonely. Her absentee preacher father has moved them to a new town, and her mama left them when Opal was only three. She rescues and befriends the titular Winn-Dixie in the first chapter, and her new dog helps teach her some lessons about love, loss, and friendship.
Friendships and relationships. Much of the book revolves around Opal's issues with friendships, as well as her growing relationship with Winn-Dixie. This also includes friendships across age lines (with the older Miss Franny), across backgrounds (Otis, who has been to jail), and with peers (boys and girls).
Loss. Opal deals with the absence of her mother by asking her father questions and trying to memorize and hold onto these facts about her mother. Other characters also open up about their own experiences with loss, as Opal learns more about empathy.
New Book Alert: Once Was a Time. This new middle grade novel comes out in April. Time travel, friendships, and mystery!

I read several new picture books for this week's featured diverse posts: Incredible South Asian Books, part 1: biographies and realistic fiction. See what makes these SABA winning-books so great!
Maybe a Fox (2016) by Kathi Appelt and Alison McGhee. New this month, Maybe a Fox is a tug-at-the-heartstrings kind of novel but in a soft and gentle kind of way. While I miss the lyricism and unconventional structure of The Underneath, Maybe a Fox is likely to be more approachable for its intended audience. Could also be a great book for a child that has experienced loss or death, as different characters experience and express their grief in different ways. A keeper.
Once Was a Time is the first middle grade offering from popular YA author Leila Sales, and she knocks it out of the park. The story revolves around two best friends, Lottie and Kitty, who are growing up in Bristol, England in 1940 under the ever-expanding shadow of Hilter. Lottie's father studies time travel, and his investigations have drawn interest from many sides. A dangerous situation forces Lottie to make a choice - does she trust her father and his research?
This is a surprising and engaging tale, and it is hard to write a review without jumping further into the twists and turns of this story. Suffice to say that time travel is not always what - or where - one expects. This book falls more into the realm of classic friendship and mystery tales and is not as "science fiction-y" as a story with a time travel premise might seem. I can see many different kinds of readers being attracted to this book, and I am looking forward to sharing it with my students.

Davis College started off red hot against visiting Cayuga Community College on Tuesday evening led by Jackson Henri's 29 points but a number of costly turnovers proved to be too much to overcome as the Falcons went down by a score of 103-85.
Henri led the early serge for Davis as he connected on 6 of 8 first half three pointers. The Falcons as a team connected on 10 of 22 first half triples as Ben Waterman hit 3 and his brother Josiah Waterman hit one of his own. Freshmen point guard Corban Usry dished out 7 assists in the first 20 minutes. Cayuga also came out strong on the offensive end as they converted several strong drives at the rim. Henri connected on his sixth three at the half time buzzer to cut the Cayuga lead to 53-49 at intermission.
In the second half Cayuga really turned up the defensive pressure and caused several Davis turnovers which led to easy fast break opportunities for the visitors. A decisive 15-4 run by Cayuga early in the second half proved to be the difference as they pulled out to a 70-55 advantage with 15:32 remaining in the contest. Davis committed a season high 27 turnovers as they were unable to handle Cayuga's pressure.
Henri's 29 points were a career high as he added 8 rebounds on the night. Ben Waterman poured in 16 points on 6-11 shooting and Anthony Gathings contributed 14 points. Usry finished with a career high 9 assists.
Next up for the Falcons (3-6) is a trip to Penn State Brandywine (3-1) on Thursday at 8:00 p.m.


India's "The Hindu" Newspaper Stops Printing for the First Time in 137 Years Due to Massive Floods | Democracy Now!
managing editor of The Hindu newspaper. The paper did not print today for the first time in its 137-year history due to massive floods.
AMY GOODMAN: We're broadcasting from COP21, from the U.N. climate summit. We'll be here for the full two weeks of the summit. Meanwhile, in India, one of the country's oldest newspapers was not printed for the first time in more than a century due to massive rains and floods in the southern city of Chennai. The daily newspaper, The Hindu, did not come out today, because workers couldn't access the press. The publisher said it was the first time this has happened in the entire 137-year history of the paper. The Indian government has deployed the army to rescue thousands of people stranded in Chennai as heavy flooding continues.
We're joined right now by the managing editor of the paper. We're joined by Ananthakrishnan.
AMY GOODMAN: So we were just talking yesterday in our office, and then we get this news. I know you just have a few minutes. Talk about the significance of what's happened to The Hindu, your newspaper, and where Chennai is in India.
G. ANANTHAKRISHNAN: Well, The Hindu is one of the oldest newspapers in India. It was started in 1878, and it's published all over the country. There's a long tradition of supporting liberal journalism and credible newsgathering. So, it's the first time that this has happened, due to circumstances entirely beyond our control. And we are on the southern east coast of the country, which is normally prone to hurricanes and cyclones, as we call them. And so, this is the first time that we have been hit by 50 centimeters of rain in one day. And we have found that the whole city, which is flatland basically, and which has gone completely under. It's the first time it's happened.
AMY GOODMAN: The reports are that at this point something like 188 people have died in recent weeks as a result of the floods.
G. ANANTHAKRISHNAN: We have had three spells of really bad rain in this season. And already we had information that 60-odd people had died in the past two instances, and I'm not surprised that more people have died. There's a lot of background to this, in the sense that, you know, the real estate development, which is uncontrolled, and the whole change in the climate and the intensification of the kind of weather that we are witnessing in Chennai and even some of the cities along the coast, in Tamil Nadu. It's a clear cause of worry.
AMY GOODMAN: It's—of course, the horror is how many people have died, but the irony of the newspaper not coming out as your team is here covering the climate summit, about what to do about climate change.
AMY GOODMAN: What happened at the presses? Did you have a description, report back from home?
G. ANANTHAKRISHNAN: Yes, some of the people were able to come into work, because some of the train lines that are running overhead, they're still continuing to operate. With great difficulty, a few staff have managed to come to the office, and we have the edition going for tomorrow. So, that's at least on the cards. But we don't know how we will distribute the paper tomorrow. It's going to be very difficult. And the presses are away from the actual printing center, the main center. So the printing center is away about 45 kilometers to the south, which is, again, along the coast. And it's very difficult to—you know, for people to reach when large swaths of the city and the surrounding areas are inundated. It's a deluge.
AMY GOODMAN: I want to thank you, Ananthakrishnan, Managing Editor of The Hindu, one of the largest daily newspapers in India. Again, The Hindu not printed for the first time in more than a century due to massive rains and flooding, which made the press inaccessible.

First and Last is a live album by saxophonist Glenn Spearman. It was recorded on July 25, 1998, at the Fire in the Valley Festival in Amherst, Massachusetts, and was released in 1999 by Eremite Records. On the album, Spearman is joined by pianist Matthew Goodheart and drummer Rashid Bakr. It was Spearman's last recording before his death less than three months later.

Reception

In a review for AllMusic, Steve Loewy wrote: "This is energetic music of the highest order, a fitting memorial to one the unsung jazz legends who could sing on his horn with the best of them, but who never entirely received his due during his lifetime. This recording should help to place his forceful and very spiritual spirit in proper perspective."

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the album "an unhappy affair... at moments barely coherent," and stated: "it weaves awkwardly between intense insight... and a prosy banality."

A reviewer for All About Jazz commented: "Playing melodic or howling freely, Spearman spans the emotional spectrum from quiet contemplation to uneasy tension to all-out screaming release. Plenty of post-Ayler playing... Fans of Frank Wright, Albert Ayler, or Jimmy Lyons should grab this record to hear one of the greatest exponents of this tradition."

Author Phil Freeman remarked: "Spearman is in full voice throughout, bellowing when he wants to, murmuring at other times, but never aiming for a note he's unable to reach. His disease never took away his voice until it stifled him for good... the sheer historic importance of the session makes it a must... It's Glenn Spearman's last gift to the world, and it's definitely worth keeping around."

Track listing

 "Intertextual Reference" (Goodheart) – 21:10
 "Under the Incalculable Sky, Listless, Diseased with Stars" (Spearman, Goodheart, Bakr) – 21:59

Personnel
 Glenn Spearman – tenor saxophone
 Matthew Goodheart – piano

Yale Will No Longer Require Early Applicants to Commit to Attend
Share this with Facebook Share this with Twitter Share this with LinkedIn Share this with Email Print this
Yale has announced that effective next year for the Class of 2008, it will no longer require college admissions applicants who are accepted early to commit to attend Yale at the time that they apply.
In recent years, Yale College has admitted part of its freshmen class through an early decision program, in which students apply and receive an early review of their application with the understanding that they are bound to attend the school if admitted.
Early decision, widely used at selective colleges and universities, has caused a rush toward early college application in the United States. Yale President Richard C. Levin spurred a nationwide debate on the merits of early decision when he spoke about the program's negative side effects in December 2001.
Levin noted that while the program works well for those students who know where they want to go to college, it has pushed many students to choose a favored college too early, before they had the chance to study other options and reflect on their choice. He also noted that it has led students to make their college choice more on strategic grounds and less on the basis of the kind of education a school offers. In addition, many students in need of financial aid have been uncomfortable with the early decision route because it does not allow them to see aid packages from different schools.
"Early decision programs help colleges more than applicants," Levin said. "It is our hope to take pressure off students in the early cycle and restore a measure of reasoned choice to college admissions. Our new early action program will allow students who are very confident of their preference to receive early word from Yale while still allowing ample time for further investigation and the thoughtful weighing of options."
Under Yale's new early action plan, students can seek an admissions decision from Yale only, in the early cycle, but are free to apply elsewhere during the regular application cycle before reaching a final decision. The new system was reviewed and approved by a committee of faculty and administrators responsible for admissions and financial aid policy, and the change was also recommended by the undergraduate student government, the Yale College Council.
In responding to today's announcement Yale College Dean Richard H. Brodhead commented, "We adopted early decision for the sake of the rare student who knows exactly where he or she wants to go by mid-fall of the senior year of high school. We never meant the early cycle to become the normal cycle. Today's announcement will allow applicants the freedom to give this decision the time and thought it deserves."
Last year, nearly 15,500 students applied for the 1,300 places in Yale College.
Under a need blind admissions policy Yale College admits students without regard to their ability to pay and then meets the full demonstrated need of all admitted students. In 2002-2003 students qualifying for grant aid received an average grant of more than $21,000 for each year in college, no portion of which must be repaid. In the current year Yale is spending $39.7 million on undergraduate financial aid.

Estonia 2021 🇪🇪 Uku Suviste will sing "The Lucky One" in Rotterdam
ESTONIA – The grand final of Eesti Laul 2021 has just been completed in Tallinn, Estonia! So, we all now know this year's representative of Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam! The winner of this year's Eesti Laul and the 27th representative of Estonia in the 65th Eurovision Song Contest was Uku Suviste with his song "The Lucky One". Twelve were the songs that claimed the ticket to the Netherlands and three were those that made it to the "super final" of the night after the vote of the jury and the television audience. Specifically the following:
1. Jury Pootsmann – "Magus melanhoolia"
2. Uku Suviste – "The Lucky One"
3. Sissi – "Time"
Then the floor was given exclusively to the audience, who decided that "The Lucky One" will be the one to compete in this year's Eurovision!
The evening went very nicely since the whole event was highly professional even though the stadium was absent! After the break with the news, the voting of the international jury started, in which Sissi won by a wide margin! During the new public voting in the Super Final, local artists (Liis Lemsalu & Stefan) took the stage and then the final result was announced!
ABOUT UKU SUVISTE
Born in the Estonian town of Võru, multi-talented Uku Suviste is a singer, pianist, composer and music producer. The entertainment industry flows through his veins as his father is a TV producer, and his mother a classically trained singer.
In 2018 he set his sights on international success and took part in The Voice (Russia), landing himself on the team of Ukrainian Eurovision icon Ani Lorak, and making it all the way to the semi-finals. The following year Uku competed in Eesti Laul, taking the silver medal with Pretty Little Liar before winning the contest in 2020 with What Love Is.
Readers of renowned Estonian magazine Kroonika voted Suviste 'Estonia's Sexiest Man'.
Wonder if it ever crossed your mind
That what we had was really unbelievable
Unbeatable, a miracle
Why'd you have to go and mess it up?
Why'd you have to make what was unbreakable
Shakable, unsavable?
And now it's too late to cross your fingers
I'm wide awake and not a dreamer
Hate it, but it seems the dreams were never true
For a little while the fates were with us
Wonder why they had to turn against us
I could make a wish, but there is no use
I can feel
Even though I'm numb
The change to come will hurt someone
I can see
This time it isn't me
I might be the lucky one
I don't need a crystal ball to show me
Baby, it's plain that you don't know me
When it comes to you, I'm better off alone (better off alone)
I don't need a crystal ball to make me
Realize that if I stay, you'll break me
Every sign is saying I should be gone
I should be gone
Thought I had a cloud over my head
It had to be my fault that it kept raining down
Until now, I figured out
That if I had the nerve to say goodbye
I could look for clearer skies up over head
Weather says sun instead
I can feel (even though I'm numb)
I can see (I can feel)

The BBC tries to make an austerity joke on Budget Day, and gets it painfully wrong
Elizabeth Mizon
Support us and go ad-free
On Budget Day 2016, the BBC Radio 4 Today programme reported that Matthew Price will be broadcasting from the Cheltenham Festival, adding a photo to their 'Budget 2016 Live' stream early in the morning titled "Champagne on ice".
Underneath the photo, the caption makes reference to the austerity budget to be outlined later that day by George Osborne. It goes on to report that a delivery of "more lobster and salmon" was appearing "as the sun rises, and 5,000 bottles of champagne are on ice."
The Today programme likely had its tongue firmly in its cheek when it captioned the image. Yet, their reluctance to make any comment on the disparity between the scenes they describe and the reality facing the rising number of people being plunged into poverty today, is a shame to witness.
Today's budget outlines the privatisation of all state schools in England and £4bn more in spending cuts, amongst other revelations on tax and pensions. This comes only a week after the Tories pushed through more welfare cuts for the disabled even though they were twice blocked by the House of Lords. The BBC also reported this morning that a leading economist has confirmed the Tories are ideologically opposed to public spending. They have also have sold off more public assets than any other government in history.
The Cheltenham Festival is one of the country's most elite and extravagant traditions. Millions of pounds will be bet over the course of the Festival, and 'free bets' are offered, encouraging people to part with as much money as possible in deals similar to supermarket 'buy one, get one free' deals. The festival highlights our country's love of gambling. The gambling industry, on the one hand, preys upon the poorest and most vulnerable. And on the other, is the mindset which led to the 2008 economic crisis.
The Jockey Club, which owns Cheltenham Racecourse, confirms that "the four-day event generates £100m for the local economy". This may be good news for the Cheltenham residents who can afford to participate in the festival. For the rest of the country, it is a sour reminder of just how much wealth exists in the country, and the fact that it remains concentrated in the top tier of companies and individuals while millions are desperately clutching at it.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers' Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we're all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn't have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian's. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers' support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.

Swedish researchers from University of Lunt, while testing antibiotics and using antimicrobrial agents found in breast milk accidently found some compounds in breast milk to directly target cancer cells! When breast milk hits the gut it produces a protein called alpha-lactalbumin. The compound derived from the protein, know as "Hamlet," is what targets cancer cells.
A thorough case study is just beginning but this could be a huge game changer for both the nursing mom community and patients going through chemo and radiation. Both common treatment practices have been known to deteriate the immune system causing a whole host of complications. This could perhaps be a safer way to treat cancer!

The Latest on Dialysis Access Maintenance Reporting
Comments Off on The Latest on Dialysis Access Maintenance Reporting
Understanding the procedures and patient scenarios will help you code this evolving specialty.
Dialysis access maintenance is one area of interventional radiology coding that always seems to be evolving. This can make it difficult to code these encounters. To be sure you are current with the latest changes, here is a refresher on how to report angioplasty, stent placement, thrombectomy, and embolization of hemodialysis arteriovenous grafts (AVG) and arteriovenous fistulae (AVF).
Hemodialysis Access
AVGs and AVFs are types of hemodialysis access. An AVF is a direct connection between an artery and a vein; and an AVG is an indirect connection between the artery and vein.
An AVG may consist of a plastic tube, or it may be made of cadaver arteries or veins. Often, grafts and fistulas develop occlusions (blockages) that require therapeutic intervention such as angioplasty, thrombectomy, stent placement, or embolization to restore proper flow within the graft.
When coding such services, AV dialysis shunts are considered one vessel. The AV shunt begins with the arterial anastomosis and extends to the right atrium. This definition includes both upper and lower extremity AVF/AVG (CPT® Professional Edition, 2016).
Fistulagrams
A physician most often gains access into the AVF/AVG by direct puncture; however, occassionally the physician chooses to access the AVF/AVG via the brachial artery or other point of access. After gaining access, the physician places the catheter at the desired position and injects contrast material to visualize the occlusion. This is called a fistulagram.
Dialysis Access Catheterization and Fistulagram Codes
36147 Introduction of needle and/or catheter, arteriovenous shunt created for dialysis (graft/fistula); initial access with complete radiological evaluation of dialysis access, including fluoroscopy, image documentation and report (includes access of shunt, injection[s] of contrast, and all necessary imaging from the arterial anastomosis and adjacent artery through entire venous outflow including the inferior or superior vena cava)
+36148 additional access for therapeutic intervention
75791 Angiography, arteriovenous shunt (eg, dialysis patient fistula/graft), complete evaluation of dialysis access, including fluoroscopy, image documentation and report (includes injection of all contrast and all necessary imaging from the arterial anastomosis and adjacent artery through the entire venous outflow including the inferior and superior vena cava), radiological supervision and interpretation
CPT® 36147 describes a direct puncture into the AVG/AVF followed by injection of contrast for evaluation of the hemodialysis access. This code not only includes imaging of the AVG/AVF, but also the venous outflow all the way to the superior and inferior vena cava.
Do not assign 75825 Venography, caval, inferior, with serialography, radiological supervision and interpretation and 75827 Venography, caval, superior, with serialography, radiological supervision and interpretation when only the hemodialysis access is evaluated.
Following imaging, the physician may elect to perform a therapeutic intervention through the existing access, used to perform the fistulagram, or a new access. Assign 36147 one time per encounter, regardless of the number of fistulagrams performed with or without performance of a therapeutic intervention.
If the therapeutic intervention is performed through a second direct puncture into the hemodialysis access, assign +36148 in addition to 36147. Report +36148 only when a therapeutic intervention is performed via the second access. If the second access is used only for additional imaging do not report +36148. You may report +36148 more than once if an additional access is required for a therapeutic intervention, but these cases are rare.
Report 75791 when the physician performs a fistulagram through a different means of access (other than direct puncture of the hemodialysis access), such as via an existing access or by an initial access in a lower extremity or upper extremity artery. Like 36147, 75791 includes imaging of the AVG/AVF and also the venous outflow all the way to the superior and inferior vena cava. In addition to 75791, report any applicable catheterization code(s).
General Rules for Therapeutic Interventions
Although AV dialysis shunts are considered one vessel for coding purposes, with the AV shunt beginning with the arterial anastomosis and extending to the right atrium for fistulagrams, when coding therapeutic interventions in AV shunts, this area is divided into two vessel segments. The two designated treatment zones are:
1. AVG/AVF: includes the area from the peri-arterial anastomosis all the way through the axillary vein or the entire cephalic vein in the case of a cephalic venous outflow.
2. Central segment: consists of the subclavian, innominate, and the vena cava. These three vessels make up their own vessel or "zone" when coding.
When procedures are performed outside of the graft in the separate, central segment, you may assign additional codes for the intervention performed in the central segment. Regardless of the number of lesions treated in each zone, you may report each therapeutic intervention only one time, per zone.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) eliminates areas of narrowing or occlusion in AV dialysis shunts. During a PTA, a balloon catheter is inserted through the skin into a vessel to the site of narrowing, and the balloon is inflated to restore flow to the vessel.
Dialysis Access Angioplasty Codes
35475 Transluminal balloon angioplasty, percutaneous; brachiocephalic trunk or branches, each vessel
75962 Transluminal balloon angioplasty, peripheral artery other than renal, or other visceral artery, iliac or lower extremity, radiological supervision and interpretation
35476 Transluminal balloon angioplasty, percutaneous; venous
75978 Transluminal balloon angioplasty, venous (eg, subclavian stenosis), radiological supervision and interpretation
Angioplasty is reported only one time, regardless of the number of lesions treated in a vessel. The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) has stated that all angioplasty performed within the hemodialysis access vessel is coded as a single angioplasty, regardless of the number of stenoses treated within the segment (from the level of the inflow artery, through the length of the graft to the venous outflow to the level of the axillary vein). This same logic applies to stent placement.
The AV dialysis shunt is considered to be a venous vessel and, therefore, most of these interventions are coded with the venous intervention codes. Report 35476 and 75978 once to describe all angioplasty within the AV dialysis shunt, regardless of the number of lesions treated within the segment or the number of balloon inflations. There are some exceptions to this rule:
Angioplasty is performed of the arterial anastomosis only: Report 35475 and 75962 instead of 35476 and 75978 because this is considered an arterial angioplasty.
Angioplasty is performed in both the arterial anastomosis and the venous anastomosis or within the graft: Assign 35475 and 75962 over the venous angioplasty codes, in accordance with National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edits.
When the AVG/AVF is present in the lower extremities, assign 37224 or 37220 for angioplasty at the arterial anastomosis, depending on the exact location, instead of 35475 and 75962, which are assigned for upper extremity angioplasty.
You may assign codes when angioplasty is performed in the central veins (subclavian/innominate/vena cava) or within a native artery. In addition to the codes used to describe the angioplasty of the graft, report either 35476/75978 or 35475/75962, depending on the location of the angioplasty. If one or more central venous stenoses are treated with angioplasty, report a single venous angioplasty, regardless of the number of lesions treated within the segment because the central veins are considered their own treatment "zone."
Dialysis Access Stent Codes
37236 Transcatheter placement of an intravascular stent(s) (except lower extremity artery(s) for occlusive disease, cervical carotid, extracranial vertebral or intrathoracic carotid, intracranial, or coronary), open or percutaneous, including radiological supervision and interpretation and including all angioplasty within the same vessel, when performed; initial artery
+37237 each additional artery
37238 Transcatheter placement of an intravascular stent(s), open or percutaneous, including radiological supervision and interpretation and including angioplasty within the same vessel, when performed; initial vein
+37239 each additional vein
Report stent placement only one time, regardless of the number of stents placed within the hemodialysis access vessel; the AV shunt is considered to be a venous vessel when selecting the stent placement code. Code 37238 describes a venous stent placement, and is reported once to describe all stents placed in the hemodialysis access segment, regardless of number of lesions treated within the segment. There are some exceptions to this rule:
A stent is placed at the arterial anastomosis only: Report 37236 instead of 37238 because this is considered an arterial stent placement.
A stent is placed at both the arterial anastomosis and the venous anastomosis or within the graft: Report 37236 over the venous stent code.
When the AVG/AVF is present in the lower extremities: Report 37226 or 37221 for stent placement at the arterial anastomosis depending upon the exact location, instead of 37236.
You may report stent placement in the central veins (subclavian/innominate/vena cava) in addition to stent placement in the graft. The correct code for stent placement in the central zone will depend on the code reported for the stent placed in the hemodialysis access vessel. If you assign 37236 for the graft stent placement, you should assign 37238 for the central segment stent (not 37239) because CPT® instructs to use 37239 with 37238 (not 37236). If you assign 37238 for the graft stent placement, assign +37239 for the central segment stenting.
Note that angioplasty is bundled with stent placement codes 37236-37239 when performed in the same vessel; therefore, the stent codes take precedence over the angioplasty codes. For example, when an angioplasty is performed at the arterial anastomosis and a stent is placed with the hemodialysis access vessel, assign 37238, with the arterial angioplasty bundled.
Thrombectomy
Dialysis Access Thrombectomy Codes
36870 Thrombectomy, percutaneous, arteriovenous fistula, autogenous or nonautogenous graft (includes mechanical thrombus extraction and intra-graft thrombolysis)
Thrombectomy is performed to remove a thrombus from an occluded AV dialysis shunt using a device such as an AngioJet®, Trerotola®, Amplatz®, or Fogarty® catheter, and is described by 36870.
Code 36870 includes all of the work necessary to remove the thrombus, both mechanical and pharmacological; therefore, thrombolysis of the shunt is also included in this code. The codes for thrombolysis (37211-37214) may only be assigned when thrombolysis is performed through a catheter in a separate and distinct vessel from the shunt. If a balloon is used to facilitate a thrombectomy, it is considered part of the thrombectomy and should not be coded separately. Angioplasty should only be reported additionally when an underlying stenosis is treated in addition to a thrombotic occlusion. A balloon catheter used for removal of an arterial plug should not be assigned a separate code.
Embolization
Dialysis Access Embolization Codes
37241 Vascular embolization or occlusion, inclusive of all radiological supervision and interpretation, intraprocedural roadmapping, and imaging guidance necessary to complete the intervention; venous, other than hemorrhage (eg, congenital or acquired venous malformations, venous and capillary hemangiomas, varices, varicoceles)
36011 Selective catheter placement, venous system; first order branch (eg, renal vein, jugular vein)
36012 second order, or more selective, branch (eg, left adrenal vein, petrosal sinus)
Although less common, a physician may need to perform embolization of a hemodialysis access. Assign 37241 to report venous embolization of hemodialysis access. Because the hemodialysis access and its branches are considered one operative field, assign 37241 only one time, regardless of the number of embolized branches.
When the embolization procedure requires catheterization of collateral veins (additional venous side branches), assign the selective venous catheterization codes 36011 and 36012, as appropriate. You may report codes in addition to 36147 and +36148 (SIR Interventional Radiology Coding Update 2015).
Coding Examples
Access is gained via direct puncture into the AVG. A fistulagram is performed. A second puncture is made at the opposite end of the AVG for therapeutic intervention. Angioplasty is performed at the venous anastomosis and the arterial anastomosis.

The crockpot is our not-so-secret weapon. We use it at least once a week, and it saves us time during the busy work week, so we can enjoy each other's company after work one night and have leftovers for lunches or dinner another night during the week. The best part is probably coming home to a house that smells like someone spent the entire day in the kitchen. It is so comforting and relaxing to come home to dinner being ready to be served. One of my favorite things to make in the slow cooker has turned out to be crockpot beef roast and veggies.
It is great because you can take a little bit of a tougher cut, or whatever is left in the freezer in our case, let it defrost, and then toss it in the crockpot with some bone broth, spices, and veggies, and you'll be pleasantly surprised by how tender and juicy it turns out to be. It is kind of like pulled pork and stew got married, and those are two of my favorite things. I can't think of a better marriage of my favorite meals actually. Anyway, it is simple, fresh and flavorful….and super easy to pull together. It is a no-brainer; you need to add this crockpot beef roast and veggies to your meal planner, and put it on repeat.
It is also very convenient that your entire meal is done in the crockpot. All of your meat and veggies in one pot, ready to be plated and eaten the moment you walk in the door. Only one real dish to wash is pretty fantastic, too! We usually throw onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, and celery in with our beef, but you can use whatever fresh veggies you have on hand. Mushrooms would be good; we'll have to try that next time. Or you can try it, and let us know how it goes in the comments below. We can't wait to hear about how you tailor our crockpot beef roast and veggies to fit your family.
Let us know how you like our crockpot beef roast and veggies by leaving a comment below. Also, take a picture and tag it on Instagram @realsimplegood so we can check it out!
If you have the time, cover and refrigerate the meat for 3 hours or as long as 24 to let the rub set in. If you don't have the time, just season the beef and start cooking.
Place the beef into the crockpot, pour the bone broth in around the beef without pouring it on the beef and removing the seasoning.
Do you think that if i cooked on high in the slow cooker i could reduce the time by a couple of hours? I find that the carrots are as cooked for this time on low.
Hi Tae – We haven't tried cooking it on high because we prefer to cook a roast "slow and low". However, you can generally half the cooking time when cooking on the high vs. low setting. Alternatively, you could cook it on low and just add the carrots in halfway through so they don't get cooked as much. If you try either way let us know how it turns out!
Any problem with searing the meet first? That's what I usually do when making a crock pot pot roast.
There's no problem with searing the meat first, we just didn't do it with this recipe to save time. We hope you like it!
Hi I would like to have hubby and I have a go at this for one dinner and then I could refrigerate the rest for lunch at work. Is this ok to do? Thanks!
Has anyone tried it with sirloin roast? That's all the store had so that's what I've had in for about three hours.
I've made a lot of crock pot/slow cooker roasts over the years, but this one was absolutely fantastic! I made it with a chuck roast. I've never used sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes for this before, and they were delicious. I didn't know if I should peel them before cutting them into cubes, but they were organically grown so I left them intact, which was a good decision. Your seasoning was perfect. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thank you.
Love it! Thanks for trying the recipe and coming back to leave a review :).

Beware of scams when donating during the holidays
By Matthew Grant, FOX 46 Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, NC (FOX 46 WJZY) - On this #GivingTuesday, many charities are asking for donations. So, how do you know who to give your heard-earned money to?
"Give," said Better Business Bureau president Tom Bartholomy. "But give wisely."
Bartholomy, with the BBB of Southern Piedmont and Western North Carolina, says more than half of all charitable contributions are made in November and December.
"There's an element out there that's trying to take advantage of that" giving spirit, he said.
That's why it's important to do your research first. The BBB is warning of e-mail and phone solicitation scams, especially ones claiming to be from police, fire or military charities.
You can verify if a charity is licensed by calling the North Carolina Secretary of State's office at (888) 830-4989 or by clicking here.
"It's even easier now to give wisely than it ever has been before," said Bartholomy. "With the internet and a couple clicks to a few websites you got the information you need."
North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein recommends:
Decide who you want to give to first and contact them directly.
Give to charities you know.
Ask to receive written material about a charity you're unfamiliar with.
Ask how much of your donation goes to the charity's mission, instead of fundraising.
Read more tips from the North Carolina Attorney General's office here.
Websites like Give, Guidestar, Charity Navigator and CharityWatch, all help you see how your money is being spent - so you can be confident your donation is getting results.

Ever feeling bored with the same activities over and over again? Why not come to Grand Cafe at Grand Hyatt Jakarta? Yes, as you saw from my Instastory last week, the Grand Hyatt Jakarta Hotel presents the latest concept of Grand Cafe to give visitors a brand new dining experience, unlike before. We're grateful to be part of the Grand Opening night of Grand Cafe on May 14, 2018, which located on the lobby level of Grand Hyatt Jakarta Hotel. As one of the top all-day dining casual restaurants in Jakarta, I must say that I was very impressed with the new face of Grand Cafe at Grand Hyatt Jakarta; now the decoration is more elegant with the nuances of the colonial-style house of Indonesia.
As you can see here from my pictures, the seating area is more spacious and more comfortable now, and it feels like home! The wood material becomes the dominant element, and you can find many Indonesian carvings and ceramics that emphasize the distinctive aspects of Indonesian-Peranakan. Each area is designed like the spaces at home, and they divided the seating area into seven different areas; from the terrace, living room, gallery, kitchen, lounge, study room, to balcony. Interesting!
The kitchen area becomes a central area where visitors can see the live presentation by the chef from 5 live cooking stations (wok, grill, soup, steam, and pastry) and showing their skills in front of the visitors. Of course, this concept allows us to see and know how to cook the food, interact directly with the chef, and we can even customize our order because everything here is made to order! From Sop Buntut (oxtail soup), Bakso (meatballs), Mie Ayam (noodle), Martabak Sapi, etc, we can find lots of classic Indonesian food in the kitchen. And since it's buffet style, we can take everything that we want. Yay!
We hopped across all the stations and tried almost everything, from the Oxtail Soup, Bebek Betutu, some classic Indonesian meat dishes such as Beef Rendang, Chicken Satay, Sate Maranggi, Fried Rice, etc. Every dish is freshly made, so flavorful, and most of them tasted like home-cooked dishes. We can also find traditional delicacies and favorites, where freshly made cakes, traditional snacks, Asinan, rujak, gado-gado, etc are also available here. Make sure to try their Asinan Kecombrang and some homemade ice cream before you leave this place; the Aceh Gayo Espresso Ice Cream, Durian Ice Cream, Single Origin Chocolate Ice Cream, and Mango Sorbet was all so good and refreshing!
Overall, it was a great buffet dinner experience, and we enjoyed everything at the newly renovated Grand Cafe, Grand Hyatt Jakarta. Whether you are there for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can always enjoy the Indonesian home-style dining in a comfy and relaxing vibe with good music playing. Booking in advance is recommended!

IF SOMETHING is already tried and well established, there must be a very strong reason to change it. For Bratislava Jazz Days (BJD), a festival that has traditionally been a three-day October event, the reason comes only once every five years when an extra day is added to present the creme de la creme of Slovak jazz.
The reason was even stronger in 2014 because the legendary festival, dubbed "džezáky" by Slovaks, celebrated its 40th anniversary. October 23 was the day when many local musicians and bands got their "10 minutes of glory" to show their mastery of the genre at the Old Market Hall in downtown Bratislava.
During the next three days the festival returned to its usual venue, to the Petržalka bank of the Danube River, albeit in a slightly modified part of the Incheba Expo Arena.
The October 24 concert kicked off with Maringotka, the winner of last year's Stage of Young Talents competition sponsored by the SPP Foundation, with its own version of Gypsy jazz. The four young musicians created an atmosphere of sitting by a fire under a starry sky with the caravan behind your back. The repertoire of the band is comprised of songs by Django Reinhardt performed between the 1930s and the 1950s.
The audience also welcomed the Hungarian band Djabe which returned to the BJD stage after 12 years.
"The Bratislava show was very memorable for us because this was our first ever gig outside of Hungary," Attila Égerházi, guitar player and percussionist, told The Slovak Spectator, adding that since then they have played in 42 countries around the world.
Though each band normally plays at BJD only once, Djabe returned this year on the 40th anniversary of the festival. This time they brought along a special guest: Icelandic drummer and percussionist Gulli Briem, one of the founding members of the Mezzoforte band. The performance was real pleasure for the senses as not only did the two drummers (Djabe's Szilárd Banai and Briem) play in perfect synergy, but Briem played various percussions that enriched the performance.
Toward the end of the group's performance, when almost every member of the band was playing the angklung, a bamboo musical instrument native to Sundanese people of West Java, they were joined by Peter Lipa, the festival's long-time organiser.
Composer and singer Hugh Masekela, who has been on the scene for more than 50 years and recorded 40 solo albums, brought South African rhythms with him and became the first performer who made the audience stand from their seats and dance. He vividly communicated with the audience – trying to convince them he was really a native of Bratislava.
The climax of the event came in the form of Robert Cray, a blues singer and guitar player from the US who has already won five Grammy awards. Not only was the beginning interesting, when Cray started playing with the lights off and then gradually coming on stage, but also the rest of the performance when he exchanged his guitar after every song.
The third day of BJD brought five concerts, including several very playful and live performances, as well as perhaps the biggest star of the whole event in the personage of John Scofield.
The first highlight of October 25 evening was when an American jazz composer and vibraphonist, Joe Locke, came to the stage along with singer Kenny Washington. He is widely considered to be one of the most skilful masters of the vibraphone and is well known for his live and communicative performances.
Then the audience welcomed one of the biggest names of the event, Scofield, famous for his improvisational guitar skills, who plays in a trio with percussionist Bill Stewart and bassist Steve Swallow. Often referred to as "Sco" he possesses stylistic diversity generally falling somewhere between post-bop, funk-edged jazz and R&B.
Scofield returned to Bratislava after first performing at BJD 24 years ago and he highly praised the audience.
Lillia Expósito, known as Bellita, one of the best known and most respected Cuban jazz pianists, embellished the night with her quartet called Bellita y Jazztumbatá. The quartet featured a special guest Glenda, Bellita's daughter who lives in Cuba and Slovakia, who made people take the floor and dance to their Afro-Cuban rhythms.
October 26, the last day of the festival, was opened by the Slovak band Galík-Hodek-Oravec-Ragan Group, who honourably mastered the sometimes unrewarding task of heating up the audience that was only starting to arrive for the evening.
After the performance by another band, the Ed Partyka Jazz Orchestra, the first big star was Mike Stern with his Band. Guitarist Stern had already played in Slovakia several times and in 2007 he gigged at BJD.
Stern said in an interview before the concert that he has been influenced by blues-rocker Eric Jones with whom he just now made an album and the influence could be heard in his selection of songs.
Vic (Victor) Wooten had a hard job capturing the audience after Stern's performance, but he managed to do so and even gave an encore. He was joined by his brothers Reginal "Reg" Wooten on guitar, Roy "The Future-Man" Wooten on drums and Karlton Taylor on keyboard.
Wooten did perform different music than Stern had before him but also did a great show, warming up the audience and improvising with help from saxophonist Franceschini he "borrowed" from Stern.
On the B-stage, the SPP Foundation Talent competition offered infill for the required technical breaks at the main stage, presenting young Slovak talents to the audience who could also cast a vote for their preferred band who will open next year's festival. That honour was won by the easy-going, Latino-impacted band Groove Hub.
The 2014 Bratislava Jazz Days proved as memorable as ever, being a meeting point for jazz performers (local and international alike, as jazz knows no borders or limits), dedicated jazz fans and for Bratislava bon vivants a "showcase of Slovak jazz". But most importantly it was a melting pot of various jazz styles, musicians and instruments – to the enormous delight of the audience every day of the festival.

Montreal man with 26 different names for own penis unhappy with new gender pronoun rules
by ELLIE MACDONALD
Government employees using people's chosen pronouns is a slippery slope (which is also Jeff's third favourite name for his penis).
A Montreal man is denouncing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's directive for Service Canada employees to address customers by their chosen pronouns, calling the move "a libcuck snowflake nightmare" and encouraging the Canadian government to "kiss my vertical bacon sandwich."
Jeff, 35, father to Prince Everhard of the Netherlands (his penis), believes the Liberals' action to accommodate individuals who identify outside the traditional gender binary makes a mockery of Canadian society.
"This government was bad enough before they started letting lunatics dictate what we can and can't call each other," said Jeff, whose girlfriend Anne has reluctantly addressed his genitalia as Herman Von Longschlongenstein in a German accent for the duration of their two-year relationship. "If we don't draw the line somewhere, we risk losing our dignity not only as Canadians, but as people."
Jeff, known as Rumpleforeskin to his 31 Twitter followers, explained that the the policy, meant to promote a more inclusive environment for all citizens as well as reflect the realities of modern Canadian families, is really just a sign of how sensitive people have become.
"Everyone is offended by everything nowadays," he remarked. "This generation is a bunch of triggered crybabies, plain and simple," added Jeff, who spent a year in counselling after his high school football teammates nicknamed his dick Pamela. "Anyone who isn't man enough to call me Mister is a total beta," he exclaimed suddenly, spit droplets spraying out of his mouth. "So triggered."
With the loss of common honorifics such as Mr. and Mrs., the Canadian population will eventually be lumped into an unidentifiable mass, warns Jeff "Girth Vader" McKinnon.
"If people keep clinging to these 'gender-neutral' words, pretty soon there'll be no way to tell any of us apart," said Jeff, clasping his hands behind his head to reveal the words "Clam Hammer" tattooed on his pubis in Edwardian script. "Do we really want to see identity politics go to that extreme?"
Perhaps the most worrisome detail of all is the suggestion that government employees avoid defaulting to the terms "mother" and "father," instead opting for the more widely applicable "parent", says Jeff. He says to do so is to start down a slippery slope, which is Jeff's third favourite name for his penis.
"Are we really going to insult mothers and fathers by reducing them to one generic word?" wondered Jeff, who imagines every penis aside from his own to be a blurry, hand-drawn stick figure line. "Good luck with that, Marxists."
At the end of the day, the problem isn't with the Canadian government, but with society in general, Jeff claimed.
"The pendulum has swung too far one way," said Jeff, adjusting his penis. "Also, people are becoming too liberal." ■

Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu on the film's Golden Globe nominations
Crazy Rich Asians just landed two Golden Globe nominations, a feat director Jon M. Chu considers, well, crazy — in a good way.
"It's insane," he says. "It's been a wild ride."
A wild ride indeed. Crazy Rich Asians faced seemingly insurmountable pressure from the beginning, as the first Hollywood film in 25 years to feature an all-Asian principal cast, with Asian-Americans in lead roles. But instead of being buried by that burden, the film became one of 2018's biggest, most critically acclaimed success stories of the year.
And now, it's officially entered the awards fray. Chu learned of the Golden Globe nominations while watching the live-stream from Vancouver, where he's filming a pilot. (He notes he'd been up since 4 a.m. anyway, thanks to his baby.) "We were literally screaming around the house," he confesses to hearing of their first nod, for star Constance Wu in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical, category. "I'm so excited for her. It's so well-deserved. She's been such a great leader and voice, not just in our movie but on TV."
The film itself was nominated a few minutes later for Best Picture, Comedy or Musical. To Chu, that honor further acknowledges the importance — and the arrival — of Asian representation in mainstream Hollywood after a decades-long drought. "What a movement, and to be honored by the very community we're trying to push the boundaries of, and to open their eyes to new types of stories, it means even more," Chu says. "I've been around long enough to know that moments like this don't come around all the time. It was going to happen — whether it's us or someone else — at some point, so I just feel blessed I got a front row seat to the change that's happening now."
In fact, Chu points out with a laugh, the feeling of being seen on the awards stage can be compared to Crazy Rich Asians' own message. "If the industry was Eleanor Young saying, 'No, you'll never be enough,' I think [these nominations] show that we were always enough, and I'm just really proud," he says. "I would have never predicted in a million years that we would get this far."
"This felt like the electricity turned on, and we could all connect," he adds of watching the Asian community respond to the film. "I think that's what I'm more blown away by than anything."
Now, after the success of Crazy Rich Asians, Chu has become busier than ever. He'll head to New York next to shoot In the Heights, the adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical, and then begin work on a slate of other projects, including the sequel to Crazy Rich Asians.
But before tackling any of that, he's got one more thing on his plate to handle first.
"I gotta call my parents," he admits, laughing. "I don't think they know what's happening."

News Coronavirus Health workers get more protective masks
7:14am, Jul 15, 2020 Updated: 8:06am, Jul 15
Health workers get more protective masks
Katina Curtis
An extra five million face masks will be given to health workers, aged care staff and pharmacists as the number of coronavirus cases in Australia tops 10,000.
The outbreak in Victoria continues to climb, with 270 more cases recorded on Tuesday.
Another two people died in the state, bringing the national toll to 110.
Health authorities are concerned that more than a quarter of people who have been hospitalised with the virus are in intensive care, with 21 needing ventilation in Victoria.
"Clearly if we continue to see community transmission we will see more older people, more people who are at serious risk if they contract COVID-19, being hospitalised," Deputy Chief Medical Officer Michael Kidd told reporters.
Related: Australians finally embrace face masks, as a fashion statement
He said all aged and home care workers in Victoria should wear surgical masks while at work.
Melburnians have previously been advised they should wear face masks outside of their homes if they are in situations where social distancing is not possible, such as on public transport or busy supermarkets.
Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, who lives in Sydney, said he was wearing a mask when in a "crowded situation" but was mostly avoiding crowds.
In NSW, there are now 28 cases linked to a pub in southwest Sydney, prompting the restrictions on gatherings at licensed venues to be tightened again.
Pubs will be allowed a maximum of 300 guests and group bookings will be capped at 10 people.
Venues will also be required to record contact details of every patron, rather than just the person who made the booking.
Anyone who attended the Crossroads Hotels in Casula between July 3 and 10 must get tested for coronavirus and self-isolate for 14 days even if the test is negative.
Queensland has added NSW cities of Campbelltown and Liverpool to its list of coronavirus hotspots, meaning anyone from there must spend 14 days in hotel quarantine if they want to enter the northern state.
It also wants to beef up the penalties for people caught flouting public health orders, with legislation put to the Queensland parliament to impose $4000 on-the-spot fines or six months behind bars.

As virus cases rise outside locked zones, here's why Melbourne and Sydney may be hit differently
