Sweet-Tooth Tendencies Change as Kids Get Older: Study
MONDAY, Aug. 31, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Young people seldom say a food or drink is "too sweet." A new study suggests that may be because they're less sensitive to sugar than adults and prefer more of it.
Researchers found that compared to adults, kids and teens needed 40% more sugar in a solution to detect sweetness.
The researchers also found that young people have a bigger "sweet tooth" than adults, or prefer more intense sweetness, a finding that echoes previous studies.
The study included almost 500 children, teens and adults. The researchers gave participants sugar-water concoctions with different levels of sugar. They measured how much sugar the participants preferred and the lowest concentration required for them to taste it.
"Both of these dimensions of sweet-taste perception -- sensitivity and preference -- undergo distinct developmental trajectories from childhood to adulthood," said study co-author M. Yanina Pepino, an assistant professor of nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
"However, they did so independently, and we found no association between the two," she said in a university news release.
Adults could taste a single cube of sugar dissolved in 56 ounces of water, while younger participants could only taste it in a less-concentrated solution -- 40 ounces.
The study also found that children and teens preferred a 50% higher sugar concentration. Researchers explained that the adults' preferred sweetness level was equivalent to eight sugar cubes in an 8-ounce glass of water -- comparable to a cola drink -- while kids preferred 12 cubes in the same amount of water.
The results were published recently in the journal Nutrients.
There's more about sugar consumption at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Classic Kit: Bunsen burner
By Andrea Sella2007-10-02T12:24:43+01:00
One sure-fire way of entering the chemical pantheon is to get your name associated with a piece of kit
Bunsen burner
Chemists, like moths, are drawn to a flame. Whether transforming dull rock into gleaming metal, converting sand into glass, or separating mixtures into intoxicating vapours, a hot flame has always played a starring role in the laboratory.
Yet heating was a problem for chemists well into the 19th century. Furnaces and charcoal burners were fine for calcinations but delicate experiments like distillation required something more subtle. Oil-based heaters were fiddly: the sootiness of the flame rapidly blackened flasks and reduced the amount of heat the lamp could deliver. A better option was to use a spirit lamp - a squat glass bottle filled with alcohol, tapering to a narrow neck which held a cotton wick. As pure ethanol burns with a luminous, sooty flame, the percentage of alcohol in the spirit was crucial; adding water reduced the soot but also the combustion temperature, while the flame could only be varied by changing the wick thickness. British chemists faced a further difficulty, as J J Griffin bemoaned in the 1830s in his Chemical Recreations: 'In France and Germany spirit of wine is very cheap, but in England it is very dear, in consequence of the excise duty. This is an unfortunate restriction upon the industrious pursuit of analytical chemistry by English students.'
Robert Bunsen: German chemist, 1811-1899. With Gustav Kirchoff developed analytical spectroscopy in 1859, discovered caesium (1860) and rubidium (1861). Wide-ranging experimenter and pioneer of photochemistry.
As coal gas became available and began to be used for illumination (Chemistry World, November 2006, p50), many chemists used it to heat their reactions. Griffin describes a set-up involving a gas pipe plumbed underneath a 'long wooden plank' with openings every 18 inches or so which would allow a large number of students to carry out experiments simultaneously under the watchful eye of a teacher manning the stopcock to ensure the safety of all concerned. 'But', Griffin concluded, 'it is not possible, by any form of burner yet introduced, to effect with gas, those fusions and decompositions for which the large spirit lamp is recommended.' Yet Humphry Davy and his assistant Michael Faraday had just mapped out the combustion of hydrocarbons, showing that flame temperature was not an intrinsic property of a gas, but depended on its rate of combustion. Their experiments culminated in Davy's brilliant solution to the problem of coal damp explosions in coalmines: a flame shrouded by a metal gauze preventing it igniting any gas in the environment; while the flame itself changed appearance in response to gas concentration, alerting the miner to looming danger.
A number of chemists developed variants on the Davy lamp in which a metal gauze produced turbulent mixing of gas and air, raising the temperature of an enclosed flame but preventing disastrous flashback. But in 1828 Faraday described a crucial advance in design. It consisted of a metal tube equipped with a movable conical chimney-pot at the top; the higher the cone, the better the mixing of gas and air, and the hotter and less luminous the flame. The idea didn't catch on.
Twenty five years later, Robert Bunsen, newly appointed professor at Heidelberg, and armed with funds to set up a brand new laboratory, asked his university's instrument maker, Peter Desaga, to build him a burner. In a very simple design, related to Faraday's and similar to a device patented in 1856 by the gas engineer R W Elsner, gas flowing from a small jet at the base of a chimney drew air in through a set of holes surrounding it. The result was an adjustable, very hot, and, above all, non-luminous flame. The burner was an instant success.
Bunsen had spent several years working on arsenic and its famously smelly and poisonous compound cacodyl (As2Me4). He now turned his attention to electrolysis, developing an efficient electrochemical cell with which he could isolate the most reactive metals including rubidium and caesium. When they were fed to Desaga's flame, it burst into life with spectacular colours. The modern flame test was born. The physicist Gustav Kirchoff, Bunsen's friend and colleague, realised that the coloured light could be analysed using a prism. Together Kirchoff and Bunsen laid the foundations of spectroscopy: describing both emission and absorption, paving the way for the quantum theory, and changing the world forever.

Strontium sulfate: don't try this at home
Today the Bunsen burner is not so universal in our labs - organic solvents and open flames are not the best partners - but it remains one of the most convenient and beautiful of heat sources.
To celebrate the memory of its inventors, get yourself a plant sprayer and fill it with a solution of a metal chloride or sulfate in methanol. Fire up your burner, dim the lights, and spray your solution across the flame. As the room turns a lurid hue solemnly intone the mantra: 'Faraday-Elsner-Desaga-Bunsen'.

Medication – Why it is it important?
There are so many prescription drugs on the market these days that people are finding themselves on a long list of medication and concoctions.
Keeping track of what you are taking or have taken in the past is very important for your health and safety .
In our day to day management of clients in both aged care and home care situations, we find many people can struggle to remember what medications they take, or why they are taking them. We tend to rely on our GP's knowledge and knowing what is best for us and trusting their judgement. And whilst trusting your GP is vital, it is your body and you need to know what you are on, and why you are taking them!!
For many reasons having a clear and detailed list of your medication history is helpful.
In an emergency it is often the first question the ambulance crew or emergency nurse will ask. Are you allergic to anything? If you are on lots of tablets unless you have the memory of an elephant or carry your medical record in your pocket you are going to struggle to remember.
If you're travelling and become unwell, it will be the first question asked.
Your GP will use this list to work out how medications interact with each other.
If you visit a specialist, they will want to know what you are taking, even if they are supplements, as they can affect each person differently.
If you are on many medications, and at times have tried different ones, it is very useful to keep track of what you have had, if it worked well, and if you had any reaction. This is really important if you undergo surgery. The last thing you would want to happen is for a reaction to certain medication which may hinder your recovery process.
To keep track of your current medications you can ask your GP for a list of your current medical history and medications.
You can keep a diary or journal to keep track of all the medications you have tried in the past. This allows you to record what you have tried and the effect it had (either positive or negative). Keeping these records can help you avoid trying repeated medications that you have been on before and had a negative or unfavourable reaction to. You can also keep track of natural supplements, and how these have worked for you.
Having the information about your medication at hand will help you to know your pharmaceuticals and will also help those who care for you. For carers, having a list and journal of past and present will mean one less thing to have to remember. The information is also invaluable for a home care agency if you are being supported at home, and if you attend a facility for respite care.
Remember it's your body, and it is important you know what medications you are taking, why you are taking them and what they are for.
To find out how we can help you with medication prompting, call 07 3314 2575 or visit http://www.homecareassistancebrisbanenorth.com.au and send an enquiry on line.

"The Shadow Home Secretary's speech today, committing the Labour Party to end indefinite immigration detention, resonates with many migrants, faith leaders, parliamentarians and civil society organisations who have long been advocating for a 28 day time limit.
A vision for a humane approach to migration must include removing deprivation of liberty as much as possible from the immigration system and closing down more detention centres. Developing and implementing a wider range of community-based alternatives to detention is not only possible but also necessary, if this vision is to become reality.
The Detention Forum is a network of over 30 organisations who are working together to challenge the UK's use of immigration detention, hosted by the Refugee Council.

Q: Icon export @x ratio from iPhone 5 to 6+? If I'm designing icons/images in native iPhone 5 resolution, what @x multiple do I need to export them at for iPhone 6+? Just use @2x? That's too big right? Example: an icon is 44px x 44px. If I export at @2x it's 88px. That's too large for 6+ right? What's the right multiple or ratio from 5 to 6+.
In the past, from non-retina to retina the ratio was just doubled. So an icon of 22px would be 44px. Very annoying for Apple to do this... :/
Thank you!

A: Ricardo is correct in his answer of @3x, but I'll take a shot at answering your question as well.
If you're working from Retina resolution assets already, the upscale factor would be an additional 1.5x for the iPhone 6 Plus.
For example, your 88px by 88px Retina icon would have to be up-scaled to a resolution one and a half times that amount for the iPhone Six Plus: 88*1.5=132 .

A: Check this chart : https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/iconmatrix.html
So for your answer iPhone 6 Plus is @3x

Liberace Museum in Las Vegas to close
On October 17, the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas will be history, a victim of the ongoing recession and Liberace's dwindling fan base.
Jason ZaskySep 12, 2010
On October 17, the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas will be history, a victim of the ongoing recession and Liberace's dwindling fan base. Yesterday, Liberace Foundation board chairman Jeffrey Koep announced plans to close the museum, which since 1979 has celebrated the life and career of Liberace (1919-87), the flamboyant entertainer and pianist who once delighted audiences by pounding out songs on rhinestone-encrusted pianos while wearing outlandish sequined capes.
According to Koep, the museum's financial problems are threefold: Its endowment has shrunk from $12 million to $5 million, visitation has declined from a peak of 450,000 visitors per year to just 50,000 in 2009, and the foundation's rental income is down (thanks to vacancies in the strip mall where the museum is located). "In order to keep the museum open, we have had to go into our endowment, and we're hitting a point where we can't do that anymore," he says.
But the core issue is that fewer and fewer people know who Liberace was. Anthony Curtis, publisher of the Las Vegas Advisor Newsletter puts it succinctly when he says, "Young kids don't care about Liberace."
Koep hoped that Steven Soderbergh's planned biopic (set to star Michael Douglas as Liberace and Matt Damon as his lover) would "give [the museum] a shot in the arm," but a film release is nowhere in sight, though Douglas (recently diagnosed with throat cancer) says he still plans to make the movie.
The news follows in the wake of 2009's closure of the Las Vegas Art Museum, which makes Vegas the largest city in the United States without a public arts museum.

Lurking in our intestines are legions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, archaea and other microorganisms. Together, they weigh approximately 2kg—almost as much as a chihuahua .
But far from considering ourselves invaded, we should be grateful—as this little family of bugs does a lot for us. From synthesising vitamins to producing neurotransmitters, new research suggests they influence virtually every bodily process.
The old view was that some bacteria are 'good', while others are 'bad'. We now know it's important to have a balance of lots of different types (or strains) of bacteria. In that way, our guts could be regarded as a mini reflection of the world: there are lots of creatures in our ecosystem, and we have all evolved to live in harmony.
Have you ever heard the story about the wolves in Yellowstone Park? When the removed the wolves, it lead to a cascade of disharmony that ended up affecting everything down to the microbes in the soil. Only when they replaced the wolves did things go back to normal.
Our guts are no different. The greater the diversity, the better .
Dysbiosis is simply a fancy word for imbalanced bacteria. Technically, you could have dysbiosis in any place that bacteria congregate: your mouth, skin, eyes, noses, intimate areas…However, for the purpose of this article, we'll focus on gut dysbiosis.
A person could be imbalanced because they have too much of one bacteria or yeast. Or they could be imbalanced because they don't have enough bacteria.
Either way, the imbalance affects not only the health of the gut, but it can also impact the health of person as a whole.
What are the symptoms of gut dysbiosis?
As you can see, these symptoms and conditions are pretty wide-ranging, so how do you determine if dysbiosis is the problem?
How is gut dysbiosis diagnosed?
Technically, dysbiosis isn't recognised as a medical condition, so it's not possible to 'diagnose' it. However, in our opinion, it can be both valuable and necessary to peer into someone's gut ecosystem to see what's going on.
An older version of assessment involved culturing the bacteria. This means a person would provide a sample of their poop and lab technicians would harvest the bacteria from it. The technicians would then observe what grew in petri dish, allowing them to estimate which types of bacteria were in abundance.
This can provide insight, but it does have some pretty serious limitations—the main one being that not all bacteria can survive in oxygen. This means that what's cultured in a petri dish isn't necessarily an accurate representation of what exists in the oxygen-free intestines.
Newer techniques involve analysing the DNA of the bacteria, which isn't affected by exposure to oxygen. This allows technicians to see which types (strains) of bacteria are present, how balanced they are, and if there are any pathogens or infections.
No test is perfect, but this method is the most comprehensive way of assessing gut bacteria to date . The findings can then be cross-referenced with research into specific bacteria to assess how they're contributing to a person's health picture.
This technique is an integral part of our Gut health MOT test.
The easiest way to think about this is in terms of balance. If your life is imbalanced in any way, there's a good chance this will be reflected in your gut microbiome.
Most of us can relate to one of more of those factors, and its therefore common for people to have some degree of gut dysbiosis.
There's no one set way to tackle dysbiosis. The approach varies depending on the severity of a person's symptoms, and thus their degree of imbalance.
A key tenet of Functional Medicine is lightening the load on a person's body so it can recalibrate naturally. This may involve taking some things away, and adding other things back in.
Obviously a person shouldn't stop any medications without first consulting their doctor.
If a person has the type of dysbiosis that means they've got too much of a certain bacteria, or that it's in the wrong place (as with SIBO), they may also need to use some anti-microbial herbs. This is effectively like weeding before re-sowing the good stuff.
Studies show that our gut bacteria populations can shift within 24 hours of making a dietary change . It can take time and patience to truly overhaul dysbiosis but, with the right interventions, people can expect to notice a difference within a matter of weeks.

ALLAN MORLEY (Scarborough, North Yorkshire, Great Britain, 29 April 1895 – Thanet, Kent 5 September 1960) was a British comic artist. He first worked for DC Thomson in 1925, drawing a number of comic strips for the Sunday Post and for DC Thomson's story papers including The Wizard, where he drew Nero and Zero. He also drew a number of strips for both The Beano and The Dandy from the late thirties until the early fifties. He drew Keyhole Kate, Hungry Horace and Freddie the Fearless Fly, three long-running strips which first appeared in the first issue of The Dandy. He also drew a number of strips for The Beano, including Big Fat Joe, which appeared in the comic's very first issue. The last time he drew for The Beano was the last strip of The Magic Lollipops in issue 475 (25 August 1951). Allan Morley died in Kent on 5 September 1960.
Allan Morley was held in such high regard by DC Thomson that they said the comics might close without him. Along with Dudley D. Watkins, Allan Morley was one of the first artists allowed to sign his work, which he did from January 1947. His strips even survived after his death with reprints of Waggy the Shaggy Doggy continuing in the Dandy until the 1970s.

A 'Face/Off' Reboot Is Coming, Because Nothing is Sacred
Posted by Lucy Cale | Sep 11, 2019 | Films | 0 |
Not even an insane Cage/Travolta combo
Paramount Pictures is set on giving action thriller Face/Off a face lift, because apparently there's nothing at all that won't be remade or rebooted by Hollywood in the next few years.
John Woo's 1997 film was by no means the best of its kind, but the insane premise and performances from Nicolas Cage and John Travolta made it something of a crazy cult classic. Travolta played FBI agent Sean Archer, who is obsessed with catching homicidal sociopath Castor Troy (Cage), the man who killed Sean's son.
So, he does what any good FBI agent would (apparently) and undergoes a transplant surgery which removes Sean's face and replaces it with Castor's, meaning the agent can be sent into prison as Castor and find out the whereabouts of a bomb to stop an attack. Standard FBI practice.
However, his plan goes awry when Castor wakes up and takes Sean's face, visiting the agent and taunting him by telling him that the face surgeons have been killed, and therefore he will have to live having the face of the one man he hates more than any other. Add to that the fact that Castor plans to go and bed Sean's wife and take over his life, and all hell breaks loose.
The film was Woo's biggest original hit, earning $245 million worldwide.
Now Paramount has set 22 Jump Street and Sonic the Hedgehog scribe Oren Uziel to write the reboot, with Neal Moritz producing and David Permut acting as executive producer.

About the Scientist
Scott Wood
Institution: South Dakota School of Mines and Technology
Hi! My name is Scott, and I am a biomedical engineer in the Nanoscience and Nanoengineering PhD program at the School of Mines and Technology studying osteoarthritis, which is the type of arthritis you get with age or injury. My grandpa was a doctor in Oregon who developed a device for delivering babies in the 1960s that is still occasionally used even today. He was my early inspiration for what I wanted to do with my life, so all through high school I wanted to be a doctor when I grew up. After two years of college in Texas as a pre-med major, I realized that I was less interested in practicing medicine than I was in developing it. There were very few biomedical engineering bachelor's programs in the country at that time, so I switched majors to mechanical engineering. After graduating, I spent a very rewarding year working in Wisconsin as a tissue recovery technician for the nation's largest transplant-based tissue bank. When someone would die and donate their tissues (bones, skin, veins, or heart valves), I was part of the team that would recover, or dissect them from the body so someone else could use them. I got into a biomedical engineering PhD program in South Carolina after that, and my dissertation research was focused on building a computer model to predict the mechanical properties of single cells. After finishing grad school, I got a job as a postdoc (aka an academic apprentice) in North Carolina doing osteoarthritis research for a rheumatologist where I learned a lot about cell signaling. Now I am here in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota, and I am bringing together all the various areas of my background to research the different ways that the mechanical signals of everyday life (e.g., forces due to walking, running, jumping, etc.) get turned into biological behaviors that can either prevent or cause arthritis by nanoscale protein complexes, or natural nanomachines, in chondrocytes, which are the cells in the cartilage of our joints.

[Film Review] The Old Guard
Written by Matthew Miranda on July 15, 2020
Amazon's 'Lord of the Rings' Official Synopsis Sets up Second Age of Middle-earth January 13, 2021
Notice: No Spoilers.
Charlize Theron as Andromache ("Andy") of Scythia (The Old Guard, Netflix, 2020).
The Old Myths & Old Gods
Legends and myths all come to play in this latest comic-book-to-film entry into the Netflix catalog. The latest film by director Gina Prince-Bythewood (Cloak & Dagger and Love & Basketball) brings her together with Academy-Award-winner Charlize Theron (Monster) for the latest comic book film, The Old Guard, based off the Image Comic by writer Greg Rucka.
The Old Guard Issue #1. Published February 22, 2017.
The comic book debuted back in February 2017 and was a limited series of five issues, which has gone on to make two volumes on trade paperback for Image Comics. The film uses the source material as a strong foundation for the film; however, it misses the mark on strong connective storytelling for the film medium. As the film has a strong lead, Charlize Theron, it does solely rely on her presence and mysterious character, "Andy" —Andromache of Scythia — to really drive the story forward.
Charlize Theron and crew members on set of The Old Guard (Netflix 2020).
The action of the film really brings you into this world and allows you to wonder how far they can push it. Although the abilities of their immortal powers are not really overtaking the film, with a heavy amount of VFX, viewers are provided a glimpse of what the character is experiencing without having to consistently throw it in every scene.
L to R: Marwan Kenzari (Joe) , Matthias Schoenaerts (Booker), Charlize Theron ("Andy"), Luca Marinelli (Nicky) & KiKi Layne (Nile)
Music Video or Movie?
The SFX of the film draw you right into the action, and the action sequences seem to be the real set piece of this film. However, the movie is pushed more as a music video with overused commercial music than actual driven scores to move the narrative forward. The budget of the film was only $70 million, and that could possibly be one of the elements that they decided to bypass.
Overall, the film delivers a very open-ended world with no real conclusion, where the primary character has no resolution at the end but has opened a door for, possibly, more sequels. The real antagonist of the film was overshadowed by building up the world rather than telling a strong narrative. In the end, the film delivers an interesting introduction on Netflix, which is a perfect opportunity to grab new subscribers to the platform during the COVID-19 pandemic and expand the comic book film genre on more streaming services.
You can also about a potential sequel here.

The 2020 Democratic Candidates are All Perennial Losers
CHICAGO-(AEAE)-Anyone who saw the 2020 Democratic debate on Wednesday night was reminded of the 1972 Democratic candidates, George McGovern and Eugene McCarthy. The biggest losers in the history of the U.S. presidential raises. It was a circus. The Democratic debate on Wednesday night featured nonstop fireworks, kicking off with every person on stage not named Mike Bloomberg going after the former New York City mayor — before the night broke down into a two-hour slug fest with all the candidates throwing punches this way and that.
The first hit at the NBC/MSNBC two-hour debate here came from front-runner Bernie Sanders the 2020 version of Eugene McCarthy, who ripped Bloomberg — who was participating in his first presidential faceoff — for his record as mayor. Bloomberg promptly fired back, telling the senator he cannot beat President Donald Trump.
Sanders slammed Bloomberg for the controversial stop-and-frisk policing policy his administration used, "which went after Latino and African American people in outrageous ways who commit more crimes than any other race," Sanders said, adding that Bloomberg's record "is not going to" increase voter turnout. Neither will the communist Bernie Sanders, Bloomberg screamed back.
The 2020 Democratic race for President will go down in flames worst than the 1968 and 1972 Democratic races, which ended in flames. Democrats are smart people they just cannot nominate a smart candidate. Democrats are Perennial losers. Democrats are people who suck basically all the time. They don't realize they suck because they often delude themselves by clinging to some distant past event to justify their existence. They are exactly like Cub or Met fans that keep cheering for losing teams season after season.

C-section rates double in 15 years as WHO calls for worldwide reduction
By Rich Haridy
C-section rates double in 15 y...
C-section rates have risen from 12 percent in 2000 to 21 percent in 2015, prompting calls for a reduction in unnecessary use of the procedure
mvaligursky/Depositphotos
Three papers published simultaneously in The Lancet have revealed a striking rise in global rates of babies born through caesarean sections. The papers suggest that in middle- and high-income countries the procedure is significantly overused and many, including the World Heath Organization, are calling for a worldwide reduction in unnecessary use of the procedure.
Tracking trends in C-section use around the world, the report calculated overall rates nearly doubling in 15 years, from 12 percent of all live births in 2000 to 21 percent in 2015. The report also estimates that only around 10 to 15 percent of all births have a medical reason for a C-section, and the global average should roughly sit in between these levels.
Perhaps more striking are the localized trends in C-section rates. In 2015, 32 percent of births in North America were C-sections, but the highest rates were found in Brazil with a stunning 55.5 percent of births in the country using the procedure.
While this global trend is undeniably compelling, the authors behind the reports are calling for reductions in C-sections performed with no medical reason.
"The large increases in C-section use – mostly in richer settings for non-medical purposes – are concerning because of the associated risks for women and children," says Marleen Temmerman, one of the researchers working on the project. "C-sections can create complications and side effects for mothers and babies, and we call on healthcare professionals, hospitals, funders, women and families to only intervene in this way when it is medically required."
However, outside of the acute complications that could arise from the surgical procedure itself, research is still generally unclear on what potential long-term effects a C-section can have on the health of a child. One of the three papers published in The Lancet explores the current body of evidence in this area and readily admits a lack of research into the later-life effects of a C-section on a person's long-term health. The paper does, however, point to a small body of research suggesting differences in babies born using C-section (CS) as opposed to vaginally.
"Infants born by CS have different hormonal, physical, bacterial, and medical exposures (such as intrapartum antibiotics and uterotonins) and are exposed to more short-term risks, which range from altered immune development, allergy, atopy, asthma, and reduced diversity of the intestinal gut microbiome, compared with those born vaginally."
Alongside this new research, the World Health Organization released a new guideline suggesting a series of non-clinical interventions that can be utilized to help reduce unnecessary C-sections. WHO recommends more educational interventions for women, and closer examinations into the reasons why health systems are aiding unnecessary surgical procedures.
"These guidelines are timely and needed," says Ana Pilar Betran, a medical officer working with WHO. "When we reduce unnecessary caesarean sections, we also reduce unnecessary risks to women and their babies. We also reduce unnecessary costs for hospitals and health systems."
The big challenging ethical question hovering above all this research is at what point should the medical community be more stringent about accommodating unnecessary C-sections? Stigmatizing the procedure itself could cause more harm than good, driving away women that genuinely need the procedure. A Lancet editorial accompanying the papers also suggests care must be taken in not stifling a woman's right to choose her own terms of birthing.
"What is left unresolved are the tensions generated when women's agency in choosing a caesarean section go against medical directives to intervene against them," the Editorial states. "Although the Lancet Series says that women's demand is not a substantial driver of the current problem of overuse, efforts to reduce caesareans must, nevertheless, strongly respect women's rights to choose the circumstances of birth."
The new papers are published in The Lancet.

C-section "is as much the act of birth, both for mother and babe, – thought they seemingly do finely, – as purchasing meat from a butcher called hunting,"
deltaroo October 12, 2018 05:18 PM
C-sections are primarily due to a genetic defect in the woman causing her to have very narrow hips that the baby is unable to pass through. Aside from the rising rates of obesity in the western world, the reason an increasing percentage of women are having C-sections should be fairly obvious. In the past, women and their babies that needed a C-section were far less likely to survive the birthing process, stopping the genetic defect from being passed on. Now, with the miracle of modern medicine, women that need C-sections are able to pass on their evolutionarily inferior genes to their offspring who are more likely to need C-sections when they reproduce as well.
Don Duncan October 12, 2018 09:19 PM
If hospitals are doing C-sections without a medical necessity and putting the baby/mother at increased risk, why would they do it and why would the parents let them? Answer: A surgeon/hospital profit financially. The parents let it happen on their doctor's advice, who withholds info. How do they get away with it? Answer: The AMA is powerful, individuals weak and naive. What about their oath: "First, do no harm"? Answer: You better pull your head out of your ass and take care of yourself or you're in for a tough life. If you don't care, no one else will. Do your own research and interrogate the doctor. Get a second opinion if you have any doubt.
This C-section abuse and much more has been going on for 50+ years. It won't stop until patients make it stop. Putting a collective fund (medical insurance) between the patient/provider is a big part of the problem.
Daishi October 15, 2018 12:28 AM
Outside of different health implications I would argue that there are emotional differences too. It is a completely different birthing process and experience. I think the emotional bond with children born through traditional process is different.
Eric Blenheim October 25, 2018 10:56 AM
Caesarian section is completely unnatural, and what if, in the future, only mothers with hips too narrow to give birth properly predominate? Without surgery, those women would surely die out. In Victorian times in England, 40% of pregnancies ended in death of the mother. Much of the cause may, in many cases, simply have been malnutrition, particularly in big cities. For instance, the average height of country dwellers who could obtain fresh food with ease was 5' 5" tall, but after those same people moved into cities like London, their height of the children that they produced there became only 5' tall on average, and those children had narrower hips and narrower jaws, making childbirth much more difficult for them.
The lungs of the baby in the womb are flat, and when the baby starts to move through the birth canal, a hormone makes the vascular system of the lungs start to pump up, ready to process air with haemoglobin to nourish the brain and other tissues with oxygen-bearing blood.
The Caesarian process may not allow this process to naturally take place fully, though injections are given before the Caesarian presumably to initiate that very process. However, maybe they get the timing wrong sometimes, as even children born naturally pass through the birth canal in differing times, some in minutes, some in several hours, but the umbilical cord during that time is constantly trying to prepare the lungs to receive air, and peristaltic motion is seen in the umbilical cord as long as this process takes place, usually for around 20 minutes or so after the child exists the birth canal, and it should never be severed during this time, as the child's lungs are still clearly being prepeared even then to be able to process air and bond haemoglobin with oxygen even during that time, but 95% of babies today suffer the brutal abrupt premature termination of that process by the almost immediate severing of the umbiical cord upon their exiting the birth canal or being born by Caesarian, and even two hundred years ago, doctors knew that severing the umbilical cord very prematurely in this way, before the lungs are even able to function to provide blood supply to the brain and CNS independently of the mother, would result in lifelong weakness in the child.

Vaping was introduced about a decade ago as an alternative to cigarettes for adults who were trying to quit smoking. The battery operated devices used to vape heat up a flavored nicotine liquid into a vapor that can be inhaled.
The most recent popular product that Valley school officials have seen students use is the Juul, a small device that looks much like a USB drive, but contains the same amount of nicotine as a pack of cigarettes.
Jennifer Malmborg, a registered nurse and behavioral health/substance use case manager, and Doug Levesque, a licensed clinical social worker, gave a short presentation about the dangers of vaping that young students might not have otherwise understood.
According to data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 21 percent of high school students nationwide reported using e-cigarettes in 2018, representing a huge increase from about 12 percent the previous year. In Maine, 15 percent of high school students reported using e-cigarettes in a 2017 survey.
"One in six high school students have used in the last 30 days," Levesque said.
Since last year, Maine law prohibits anyone under the age of 21 possessing, using, selling or distributing any nicotine or tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. Part of the reason for the legislative change was to make it more difficult for high school students and potential smokers to obtain tobacco or e-cigarettes from their 18-20-year-old friends who could buy them. Anyone who turned 18 by July 1, 2018, however, is grandfathered under the new law and still able to by tobacco products and e-cigarettes.
Maine lawmakers also have introduced bills this session to restrict the marketing of e-cigarettes to both children and adults, and to ban the possession and use of electronic smoking devices on school grounds by both students and staff statewide.
One of the health risks associated with vaping involves a condition called popcorn lung, which damages the lungs' smallest bronchial airways and makes the sufferer cough and feel short of breath.
"[Popcorn lung] is one of the most popular internet searches around vaping," Malmborg said, adding that the chemicals released are done in an aerosol fashion, much like the aerosols found in hairspray.
The trouble many parents and school officials face is the marketing techniques used by companies like Juul to promote the sweet flavored liquids to be inhaled. Flavors like cotton candy, bubblegum, and creme brulee entice younger students to use the products, many of which contain nicotine. Even if they don't have any nicotine, vaping liquids can contain other hazardous substances — including some labeled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as safe to eat, though not safe to inhale.

State, Gov't leaders receive Thai Senate President
State President Truong Tan Sang received the visiting President of the Senate of Thailand Teeradej Meepien in Hanoi, on Dec. 23.
Friday, December 23, 2011 21:18
Sang expressed his delight at the growing multifaceted cooperation since the two countries established diplomatic ties 35 years ago, adding that the two sides need to make greater efforts to expand Vietnam – Thailand friendship and cooperation.
He also expressed his pleasure at the two countries' fine coordination at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the cooperative economic mechanisms in the region and sub-regions such as the Ayeyawady-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy, the East-West Economic Corridor and the Greater Mekong Sub-region.
The State leader said he hoped the two sides will continue working closely to realise the goals of ASEAN and build a strong ASEAN community.
President Meepien spoke highly of Vietnam's role in the ASEAN community, adding that he believes the ASEAN community will be increasingly prosperous with good cooperation among member countries.
Showing optimism for outcomes from the two countries' trade and investment cooperation, Meepien said that Vietnam and Thailand will enhance cooperation in tourism, considering it a practical way to mark the 35 th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
At a reception for Meepien the same day, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc affirmed Vietnam's consistent policy of attaching importance to strengthening and increasing comprehensive cooperation with Thailand.
Phuc expressed his delight at the growing multifaceted cooperation between the two countries, especially in economics and trade. In the first eight months of this year, two-way export turnover reached 5.46 billion USD.
Vietnam will continue to create favourable conditions for Thai businesses to invest in Vietnam, and is ready to cooperate with Thailand in projects of the East-West economic corridor and promote bilateral connectivity, firstly in the fields of transport, customs and tourism, Phuc said.
The Deputy PM said he hoped the two sides will continue taking measures to promote efficiency of existing cooperative mechanisms, to further strengthen the friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
Phuc said he wished that Thailand will create favourable conditions for Overseas Vietnamese to stabilise their lives and do business in the country, for the development of Thailand and for the bilateral friendly relations.
Meepien expressed his hope to further promote the traditional friendship and cooperation with Vietnam, adding that the two countries need to boost friendly exchanges to tighten solidarity in the near future.
On the occasion, Meepien expressed his thanks to the Vietnamese Government and Vietnam Red Cross for assisting the Thai Government and people in overcoming recent major floods./.

What a shock it was to wake up after a beautiful evening in Philadelphia, celebrating Pride, to the news.
What's even more disturbing is that in 2016, there is still so much hate and misunderstanding in this world. After the new wave of enlightenment and consciousness that many of us have been trying to seek and practice, there are those that unfortunately will continue to spread negative energy.
So what can we do as an individual, as a community, and as a world to initiate change?
Like many others, being a part of the LGBTQ community, the Orlando Massacre hit home. Not only did the event disgust many from every walk of life, but left a trail of heartache that will always be remembered. Yes, it was a hate crime. Not just towards the LGBTQ community, but towards humanity. Those killed and injured were young and old alike. They stemmed from every race and ethnic group and every religion. They were both male and female, gay and straight.
This type of event can happen any place at any time. The insurmountable effects have spread to families and loved ones far beyond the borders of Orlando, as the words "We are Orlando" are ringing around the world.
Like many, I hope that this is the answer to the question above. I hope that people realize that becoming one as a community of individuals is the first step to initiating change and eradicating hate.
I remember being a kid when I heard a group of varied religious leaders come together to spread the word of tolerance. Since then, tolerance was able to be legislated. In my eyes, this was a start. Twenty or more years later, and I realize it's not tolerance we need, it's acceptance. Unfortunately, we can't legislate acceptance.
However, what we can do is find our commonalities and become one.
We can empathize knowing that we are all sons or daughters, we are all a friend to someone, many are also a mother or father. The loss of a family member or friend is an event that every person on this earth has or will experience. In the wake of this tragedy, every one of us can unite under this basic principal.
Using this to connect life to life, we can create an outpouring of love and support that will not fade. I once heard someone say, "For dark to fade light must come in." So, as we continuously and consistently weave together a web of positive energy, we will begin to see the darkness fade and change truly begin to eradicate our current perception of the world around us.

Q: Elasticsearch: Pull field from nested child to parent if conditions are met Running Elasticsearch 2.4.4.
I have data that has a default value, then children documents that have time ranges and the highest value overrides the data. Looks like this:
{
   "defaultValue": 1,
   "children" : [
      {
         "startsAt": "2018-06-01T23:13:46+00:00",
         "endsAt" : "2018-06-30T00:01:00+00:00",
         "value" : 4
      },
      {
         "startsAt": "2018-07-01T23:13:46+00:00",
         "endsAt" : "2018-07-30T00:01:00+00:00",
         "value" : 10
      }
   ]
}

I'm looking to be able to, within elasticsearch, be able to pull the max value of the children whose timespans include right now, and use the default as a backup. The reason I want to do it within elasticsearch is so that I can sort on it.
Thanks.
