JUUL vaping devices are the most popular form of electronic cigarette on the market in the United States today. While traditional cigarettes are primarily used by the older generation, JUUL products tend to be more prevalent among young adults.
Indeed, JUUL has been accused of deliberately targeting minors and young people with their advertising.

Why Are People Filing JUUL E-Cigarette Lawsuits?
There are many reasons why plaintiffs, law firms, and governmental agencies are choosing to file lawsuits against JUUL. Lawsuits against the company typically fall into one of the following two categories:
Targeting Young Adults
When JUUL first began marketing its products in 2016 and 2017, its advertisements portrayed young people using its pods. The company also used candy-like flavors such as mint and crème. This caused many to believe that the company was targeting its vaping products at minors and young adults. Put simply, this category of lawsuit alleges that JUUL is intentionally trying to put its product into the hands of kids.
Claims of Being Safer Than Traditional Cigarettes
Despite the efforts of big tobacco, everyone is aware of the harm caused by traditional cigarettes. Indeed, traditional options on the cigarette market can be extremely harmful to one's health. Through its marketing campaigns, JUUL Labs has claimed that its products are a safer nicotine delivery system than cigarettes.
As more and more medical evidence begins to show that their safety claims are false, many people are choosing to file suit against the company.

Juul Accused of Targeting Kids with Ads
Juul has been adamant that the company never marketed directly to teenagers. However, a lawsuit filed by the Attorney General of Massachusetts says otherwise. The lawsuit, which is based on evidence gathered during a lengthy investigation into Juul's marketing practices, proposes that Juul purchased and ran advertisements on websites that are primarily visited by children and teenagers, including Nickelodeon, the Cartoon Network, and Seventeen magazine. Several educational websites were also targeted by Juul. The lawsuit accuses Juul of intentionally rejecting an ad campaign geared towards adults in favor of marketing that would appeal to a younger crowd.

Juul MDL Underway in California
More than 300 Juul vape pen injury lawsuits have been consolidated into multi-district litigation (MDL) in the Northern District of California. A case management conference is scheduled for April 13, 2020. That conference, however, may be affected by the Coronavirus epidemic.

States, Cities, Schools Among Those Suing Juul
Lawsuits against Juul are mounting. As 2019 comes to a close, the company is reportedly facing more than 200 class action, multidistrict litigation, and personal injury lawsuits across the country. Plaintiffs include states (New York, California, North Carolina, and Illinois); Washington D.C.; counties and school boards (including those in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Florida, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois); as well as individual plaintiffs who have been injured or had a loved one die after using Juul's products. The number of plaintiffs is expected to grow substantially over the next year.

Teens Vaping More Thanks to Juul Campaign
Studies show that teenagers in the United States aren't drinking or smoking cigarettes as much as they used to. The number of teens experimenting with illegal drugs is also on the decline. However, that seems to be due to the fact that vaping is more popular than ever. One year ago, less than 8 percent of high school seniors vaped. Today, almost one out of every five percent of 12th graders surveyed admits to having vaped marijuana within the past month. Many believe this is a direct consequence of Juul's aggressive marketing tactics, which were aimed at young people.

Former Juul Executive Claims Company Knowingly Sold Defective Vape Pens
In October, a former Juul executive filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming that it sold about one million mint-flavored vape pods to consumers, despite having knowledge that they were tainted or defective in some way. In the lawsuit, several higher-ups at Juul are accused of shrugging off product safety concerns because the target consumers would be too drunk or high to notice any problems. The allegations will likely be investigated as part of the growing number of Juul vape pen lawsuits that are being filed by consumers and government bodies across the nation.

JUUL Vape Pen Settlements
The vast majority of JUUL lawsuits are still making their way through the court systems. As such, it is tough to find a trend or baseline which would indicate how much your JUUL lawsuit may be worth. However, if you have become addicted to nicotine through the use of JUUL products, you may be eligible to seek compensation for the following costs:
Loss of enjoyment of life
The best way to get a full understanding of the strength of your case is by speaking to one of the experienced attorneys here at Rosen Injury Lawyers. They will be able to let you know if you should file suit, how much you may be eligible to claim, and approximately how long the process will take.
Litigation Updates
If you are considering filing a JUUL lawsuit, you may be interested to know about some of the most recent updates and information. Let's take a look:
August 2019: The state of Illinois filed a lawsuit against JUUL Labsalleging that the company used their social media presence to influence teenagers to post selfies with their JUUL device. Lake County state's attorney Michael Nerheim stated that "Like dope dealers on a street corner, Juul intentionally created addicted teen customers, to get them to continuously come back for life."
June 2019: The United States Congress found that JUUL used youth prevention programs to introduce young people to their products. The House Subcommittee investigation found that on one occasion, a JUUL representative told a group of gathered students that traditional cigarettes were harmful but JUUL e-cigarettes were "totally safe."
May 2019: A federal judge ordered the fast-tracking of a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) safety review into vaping products. The decision was made as part of an ongoing lawsuit between the FDA and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
November 2018: JUUL stopped selling fruity flavors in stores and began deleting their social media accounts. These moves were carried out as a means to make it more difficult for minors to become aware of JUUL's products or access them for personal use. Mint, menthol, and tobacco flavors remained on sale in stores.
Studies Show JUUL E-Cigarettes Are Addictive
In recent years, multiple medical studies have shown that JUUL vaping products are addictive and in widespread use by young people. When researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine spoke with a group of 12th-grade students, they found that almost 16% of them used JUUL products – with another 30% using other e-cigarette devices.
The study indicated that students who use JUUL and other e-cigarette products often do not even realize that they are addicted. Lead researcher, Karma McKlkelvey, Ph.D. noted that, "We ask, 'Do you feel addicted?' And they say no, but a series of questions on a validated scale for assessing loss of autonomy over nicotine show that they're dependent."
The addictiveness of JUUL products is generally driven by the high levels of liquid nicotine contained in each pod and the fact that they are typically used by teenagers and young adults.
The Office of the Surgeon General of the United States explains that "addiction is a form of learning, adolescents can get addicted more easily than adults. The nicotine in e-cigarettes and other tobacco products can also prime the adolescent brain for addiction to other drugs such as cocaine."
Health Risks Associated with JUUL Vape Pens
Contrary to JUUL's claims that their products are "totally safe," there are several different ways your health can be negatively impacted by their devices.
Some of the most common injuries and health issues associated with JUUL vaping products include:
Nicotine Poisoning
The FDA has received complaints from JUUL users who have developed nicotine poisoning after vaping. Common symptoms of this serious illness include:
Embolisms
If you are a JUUL pod user and notice yourself developing any of these issues, you should get yourself to a doctor as quickly as possible.
Many people believe that JUUL pods and e-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes because they do not contain the same cancer-causing chemicals. Unfortunately, a study published in the Journal of Pediatrics by a team of researchers from the University of California – San Francisco in April of 2018 found that the chemicals which are used to add flavoring to e-cigarettes can lead to cancer.
Popcorn Lung
Chemicals such as formaldehyde, toluene, and diacetyl are all commonly used in vape juice. The prolonged use of these dangerous chemicals can lead to a serious and irreversible disease known as popcorn lung. If you develop this illness, you are likely to suffer from coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath for the rest of your life.
Can I File a JUUL Vape Pen Lawsuit?
If you have been negatively impacted by the use of JUUL vaping devices, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the company.
Generally speaking, your lawsuit is likely to fall into one of the following three categories:
As evidenced by multiple studies, JUUL vaping products can be highly addictive. Filing a lawsuit on the basis of addiction can go a long way toward helping you pay for your addiction treatment as well as any ongoing pain and suffering that you may endure.
If your use of JUUL vaping devices has led to you developing a serious illness such as popcorn lung, nicotine poisoning, or cancer, you should strongly consider filing suit against the company. The financial compensation you receive can be a huge help when it comes to paying your medical bills and other costs.
If you made the decision to start using JUUL products because it was advertised to you as being safer than traditional cigarettes, you can file a lawsuit. The same is true if you began using JUUL pods when you were a young adult, having been deliberately targeted by the company.
The best way to know if you should file a JUUL vape pen lawsuit is to speak with a skilled attorney. They will be able to give you all of the information you need to make the right decision for you and your future.

What's the Difference Between a Mass Tort and a Class Action?
Big cases with many plaintiffs are complicated. Sometimes these cases are treated as a mass tort, sometimes as a class action. The difference is meaningful in terms of how plaintiffs are grouped and treated. In both types of cases, there are a large number of plaintiffs usually suing one defendant.

'Licorice Pizza' Underscores The Lost Art Of Harmless Provocation
By: Emily Jashinsky
'Licorice Pizza' is a sweet coming-of-age story, set in a lost decade, with masterful performances from novice actors, told slowly but brilliantly by one of Hollywood's great directors.

Paul Thomas Anderson is only half right about "Licorice Pizza."
"There's no line that's crossed, and there's nothing but the right intentions," he told The New York Times this month, claiming, "There isn't a provocative bone in this film's body."
That's a false dichotomy. "Licorice Pizza" absolutely crosses lines but, as Anderson insists, with "the right intentions." If such a feat were impossible, we'd be left with Marvel movies.
Anderson's argument was prompted by a question from Kyle Buchanan, who asked, "Does it surprise you how some people are reacting to the age difference between Alana and Gary?"
Like "Phantom Thread," "Licorice Pizza" is a beautiful, slow burn. The simmering drama is a magnetic attachment between 15-year-old Gary and 25-year-old Alana, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman's son Cooper and Alana Haim. (In full disclosure, I am a Haim super fan and my biases will not be easily checked.) Writing in The New Yorker, Richard Brody felt compelled to say, "It's important to note that there's no sexual relationship between Gary and Alana."
(Spoilers ahead.)
That's relying on a narrow definition of sexuality. Alana begrudgingly shows Gary her breasts. His hand hovers over one of them. They kiss. The power of that kiss, by the way, is in its intensity. Brody is welcome to interpret it as a gesture of friendship, but that could have been accomplished with a nice, warm hug. Instead, it's a kiss. On the lips.
It's interesting, too. Cooper's entrepreneurial aggression electrifies Alana, who learns to love him through their mutually beneficial hustles. For him, it's a ticket to her heart. For her, it's a ticket out of the Valley. For both, it's confusing.
For the rest of us, it's only interesting because it's not merely a gesture of friendship and because the age difference is, to borrow a word, "provocative." Should a 25-year-old woman be kissing a 15-year-old kid? Probably not. Is it the same as a 25-year-old man kissing a 15-year-old girl?
Back in 2018, deep in the heart of Me Too, things got weird after Asia Argento was accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old actor when she was 37. Argento, one of Harvey Weinstein's accusers, had become one of Me Too's most visible spokespersons.
Argento had few defenders, perhaps both because of the big age gap and the ostensible hypocrisy. To be clear, this is not to draw a parallel with the relationship in "Licorice Pizza," but to say I'm not sure the film would have been received so well just a few years ago, when sensitivities were heightened.
That would have been too bad. It will be too bad if, after the film premieres on Christmas, people argue it shouldn't have been made. But it won't be too bad if people are provoked.
A thoughtful and languid film is precisely how we should be litigating our sexual politics. "Licorice Pizza" is not "Manhattan," not by a long shot. Its "intentions" are pure. The line that's crossed is hardly an endorsement of abuse, although recent revelations about Hollywood's track record on such matters have likely primed some moviegoers to be on high alert.
The Daily Beast breathlessly backed Anderson's assertion that "Licorice Pizza" crosses no lines. "It's not sexually charged at all," argues Marlow Stern, one of the media's most reliable opponents of free thought who had the audacity to say, "Audiences these days often make the mistake of allowing their personal politics to color their feelings toward a film or TV show—to the point where if a given film or series doesn't directly align with their current views, they deem it a moral failure of some kind."
"But movies hold a mirror to society," added Stern, "and should thus be afforded the opportunity to be messy, as life itself is very messy, assuming the picture doesn't veer into exploitation territory, which Licorice Pizza most certainly does not."
Applied consistently, of course, that's a great standard. But there's not much use in pretending "Licorice Pizza" is an edgeless story about friendship. It's also about friendship overcoming adolescent sexual attraction. A girl in her mid-twenties kisses a teenager on the lips. She shows him her breasts. That's sexual, whether she wants it to be or not. And it's okay—indeed it's necessary—to grapple with that.
"Licorice Pizza" is a sweet coming-of-age story, set in a lost decade, with masterful performances from novice actors, told slowly but brilliantly by one of Hollywood's great directors. It's a nostalgic romp through American culture in an era of big change. If it rankles people, Anderson should welcome their discomfort and they should too. At best, it's all fun and games; at worst, the question is murky. That's just fine.

Marvel announces live-action Secret Invasion, Ironheart, and Armor Wars series for Disney+
December 10, 2020, 8:50 PM ET
Credit: Marvel Comics
Even as we wait for the first of its Disney+ series to finally arrive this January, Marvel Studios is already laying out big streaming plans for the future, announcing three new live-action series during a Disney Investor presentation Thursday evening.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed during the presentation that an additional trio of live-action series, all with direct ties to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, are coming soon: Secret Invasion, Armor Wars, and perhaps most excitingly for fans who've been waiting to see the title character in action, Ironheart.
The Ironheart series will follow young inventor Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) as she develops her own version of Iron Man armor and soars into action as a hero in her own right. The Ironheart character debuted in 2016 as a teenage inventor who was eventually mentored by Tony Stark (including, for a time, when he was a sentient A.I. after his body died), and quickly became a new fan-favorite who joined the teen superhero team The Champions and played a role in this year's Iron Man 2020 event.

The other two series will focus on MCU characters we've already met, but that doesn't mean they'll be any less consequential. The Secret Invasion series will follow a storyline set up by the ending of Spider-Man: Far From Home, which revealed that Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) was actually working with the Skrull Talos (Ben Mendelsohn) on some sort of secret project that had taken Fury himself away from Earth. Both Jackson and Mendelsohn are set to return for the series, named for the 2008 Marvel Comics event which saw the Skrulls attempting to conquer Earth by impersonating various superheroes. It's not clear just how much the series will rely on the comic as source material, but the introduction of the Skrulls back in Captain Marvel meant the idea of the shapeshifting aliens posing as human heroes was ripe for the picking whenever Marvel wanted to get around to it.

Which brings us to Armor Wars, another series with ties to the legacy of Tony Stark. Don Cheadle is set to star in the series, reprising his role as Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes, aka War Machine. Billed as "a classic Marvel story about Tony Stark's worst fear coming true," the series is inspired by the 1987 Iron Man comics arc of the same name, which saw various armored antagonists using stolen Stark Industries technology for their own dangerous ends. Since Tony's not around anymore in the MCU, it falls to War Machine to make sure that doesn't happen in the live-action version, and gives Cheadle a showcase of his own, after years as a supporting Marvel character.

But wait, there's more! The world of Guardians of the Galaxy will also get a fresh exploration via Disney+ in the form of two new streaming entries. Everyone's favorite talking tree monster, Groot, is set to get his own series of no-doubt adorable short films on the streaming service. Titled (what else?) I Am Groot, the shorts will follow the baby version of the Guardians hero as he meets a variety of new characters.

The live-action Guardians will also have a presence on Disney+ courtesy of writer-director James Gunn. When Gunn finally heads back over to Marvel Studios to make the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, he and the cast will also team up for the first ever Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which will no doubt feature plenty of hilarious misunderstandings in which Star-Lord tries to teach Drax about Santa Claus. That will drop in 2022, probably with a great seasonal soundrack.

And of course, it's worth mentioning again that all of these shows are in addition to the things we've heard about but haven't seen yet, including Loki, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, next month's WandaVision, and more. The next few years are going to bring a streaming bounty for MCU fans.

Rendezvous comes of age 21 years after debut
The Stater Bros. Route 66 Rendezvous is all grown up now. It has turned 21. It officially has come of age.
Yes, the 21st annual edition of the late-summer classic is under way this weekend in the streets of downtown San Bernardino, with close to 2,000 classic cars and more than a half-million spectators.
My, how our Rendezvous has grown.
Some of us remember when it was only a baby.
Gosh, it seems like yesterday.
The skies were sunny and clear over San Bernardino on Sunday, Aug. 23, 1990. The high temperature that day was 79. A slight breeze picked up in the afternoon.
The first Route 66 Rendezvous took place that day at Glen Helen Regional Park in Devore, with vehicle registration starting at 7:30 a.m. Some of the show cars already were in the park. Their owners had paraded to the site the evening before, starting at the San Bernardino Auto Plaza on South E Street, continuing up E Street, turning west on Fifth Street, then north on Mount Vernon Avenue, where they followed old Route 66 up Mount Vernon and onto Cajon Boulevard leading to the park.
There was a little grumbling among some of the drivers once they got there, a little before 7 p.m. The dirt road they used to enter the park kicked up a lot of dust. The owners of pristine classic and custom cars don't like dust.
No worries, though. There still was a little daylight left for buffing and shining. And then everyone settled in for a party, starting at 7:30 p.m., that featured food, drink and a concert of '50s and '60s music performed by a local band, the Soul Survivors. A fun time was had by all, and many spent the night there, camping with their cars.
On Sunday, the actual day of the Rendezvous, additional show cars showed up, and by the time spectators started to arrive there were about 300 gleaming pre-1967 automobiles on hand, most of them from Southland car clubs.
Ron Mangus, of Bloomington, displayed the Model T roadster he had purchased earlier in the week. Cindy Thompson, of San Bernardino, showed off her 1956 Ford truck. She bought it in 1979 for $1,500, she told a Sun reporter.
Henry Grenier, of Yucaipa, brought his red 1964 El Camino. He reminisced about the glory days of cruising in downtown San Bernardino.
"There were drive-ins up and down E Street and lots of kids. We'd cruise from dark to 1 o'clock, even 2 o'clock in the morning," he said.
A few booths were set up in the park where vendors sold automobile gear and gadgets. Food and drinks also were available.
Unlike later editions of the Rendezvous, which moved to San Bernardino's National Orange Showgrounds for the following two years, then took over the city's downtown district starting in 1993, there was an admission fee that first year in 1990. Tickets were $3, with an additional charge of $3 to park.
The fees were no deterrent to spectators, though. More and more of them showed up as the day progressed. By the time the show's official closing time of 3 p.m. rolled around, the crowd had swelled to 4,000 people, and many of them stuck around for another hour or two.
The turnout was a happy surprise for event coordinators. In fact, they still talk about it today.
"We were overwhelmed at the response and the word-of-mouth," remembers John Coute, who sits on the San Bernardino Planning Commission and is a pioneer member of the Over the Hill Gang, the San Bernardino-based car club that put on that first Rendezvous.
"We didn't think it was going to be that big a deal. We were real casual about it. We just wanted to have a little fun," he said.
Coute was there that day with his maroon 1932 Ford roadster. He still owns the car, along with almost 20 others.
In fact, he's about to retire from the Snap-on Tools business he has run in San Bernardino for 35 years, so he can spend more time with his car collection.
"I'll be going from working a 12-hour day to working an 18-hour day," he said with a chuckle.

The sun will age your skin in a hurry. Your best defense? A good sunscreen.
Protecting your skin from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays is one of the best ways to prevent premature aging. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 25 to 30 for the best protection against both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. For those among us who want a little more from their sunscreen, some sunscreens contain skin-strengthening, collagen-regenerating ingredients such as vitamin E and soy isoflavones. Find the right sunscreen for you, and apply generously throughout the day.
And while sunscreen will help prevent premature wrinkling from the sun's UV rays, moisturizer can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles you may already have. Moisturizers have skin-plumping properties and temporarily fill in wrinkles with moisture (and some with proteins such as collagen or keratin) while improving the overall health of your skin.

I have to admit it's important to adapt one's thinking in accordance with modernity. Being a 60 something year old male who grew up in Farm country in Canada I always regarded the house sparrow as an invasive pest. They would take over my treasured Tree Swallow nest boxes, killing adults, young and destroying eggs to acquire the man made cavity for their own uses.


All the intellectual 'bushrangers', to use an Australian term, a la Stephen Walt and Steve Clemons, are once again picking up their cudgels to beat Bush. After using Bush/Cheney as scarecrows to terrify Americans during their administration, they are now using them as scapegoats for the failings of Obama. Even if one accepts their distorted facts as true, that Bush/Cheney dug the country into a hole from whose "gravitational pull" Obama cannot escape, that in itself incontrovertibly proves that Obama is too weak a president since he is pulled by this force and continues to function within these 'wrong' and 'disastrous' policies of the previous administration and cannot blaze his own course.
Yet Clemons and the "brilliant" Walt continue to believe that Obama still has the mettle and sagacity to "give America another chance at restoring its global leverage and purpose." Only die-hard fideists could look forward, after Obama's Calvary in the midterm elections, to his god-empowered resurrection.
No worries on Obama, kotz, but Bush was a disaster. Maybe not down under, but up top he was.
Just like that dog in the animated film "Up," who can talk but who cannot help interrupting himself and shouting "Squirrel!" every time he sees one, like drew and kotzabasis.
Yes, POA, these squirrels are as predictable as the tides.
You are forgetting or not knowing that a main characteristic of squirrels is that they have excellent vision and they can see through the splendidly crafted verbal arguments, of Left liberals like you and Kervick, their intellectual vacuity and moral bankruptcy.

When I woke up today, I was feeling ok. But my mind started turning as breakfast was burning. My soul slipped away to a red evening sky, and a lovers sweet sigh, in the wink of an eye. In the wink of an eye.
Just try not to think, cause it will drive you to drink. But I cannot forget the all the things that you said while when were high. I was flying too high, hung out to dry, in the wink of an eye.
What more can I say, why should I even try. After reading your letter, I don't know whether to laugh or to cry, or just say goodbye, just say goodbye. With a wink in my eye.

Explore Moving Beyond Mindfulness: Defining Equanimity as an Outcome Measure in Meditation and Contemplative Research
Moving Beyond Mindfulness: Defining Equanimity as an Outcome Measure in Meditation and Contemplative Research
Tim Gard (Author), Britta K. Hölzel (Author), Catherine Kerr (Author), Sara W. Lazar (Author), Andrew Olendzki (Author), David R. Vago (Author)
Zotero Collections: Contexts of Contemplation Project
Abstract: In light of a growing interest in contemplative practices such as meditation, the emerging field of contemplative science has been challenged to describe and objectively measure how these practices affect health and well-being. While "mindfulness" itself has been proposed as a measurable outcome of contemplative practices, this concept encompasses multiple components, some of which, as we review here, may be better characterized as equanimity. Equanimity can be defined as an even-minded mental state or dispositional tendency toward all experiences or objects, regardless of their origin or their affective valence (pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral). In this article, we propose that equanimity be used as an outcome measure in contemplative research. We first define and discuss the inter-relationship between mindfulness and equanimity from the perspectives of both classical Buddhism and modern psychology and present existing meditation techniques for cultivating equanimity. We then review psychological, physiological, and neuroimaging methods that have been used to assess equanimity either directly or indirectly. In conclusion, we propose that equanimity captures potentially the most important psychological element in the improvement of well-being, and therefore should be a focus in future research studies.

Here's a little slideshow documenting a fairly typical day in my life. I once saw a photo album one of my friends uploaded to his Facebook account for this same purpose, and I have wanted to do something similar since then. Wouldn't it be interesting to do this every year and see how life changes?
A couple of clarifications: 1) My mom appearing at my home at 11 pm is not typical. This just happened to be the night she arrived to stay with us for a month. 2) This was a weekday. Weekends are totally different; Joey takes care of Joaquin and I work on my handmaking projects a lot of the day. Yes… I have the best husband!
Beautiful!! What a great job and I LOVE the music!!
What a great idea and how wonderfully performed by sliding in to the frames. And of course so recognizable. A true treasure for Joachim.
(And Pelle like it a lot, too).

Scientists, scientific institutions, and government agencies need to consider how they can build scientific communication programs that provide both solid technical information and opportunities for input and dialogue with local communities.
Research suggests that public perceptions of science are highly contextual, with people making judgments about the relative trust to be placed in traditional scientific expertise (which often is generated by government institutions) and in local knowledge based in the local context.
The trustworthiness of the person or organization supplying technical information may affect its impact. Several studies have found that the public sees wide differences in the credibility of various institutions on environmental issues. Environmentalists are usually most credible, industry least credible, and government moderately credible.
Folk belief embedded in many parts of the African-American community attributes the AIDS epidemic to a deliberate attempt by the U.S. government to eradicate African-Americans; based on both general and specific instances of racism in the United States. This folk belief persists despite traditional scientific evidence pointing to a more natural origin of the disease.
The lack of a human and cultural message of science has definitely contributed to the estrangement and even the divorce of science from society.

Whaleoil transcript: The veracity of Mallard's sexual assault allegations
by Suze on May 29, 2019 at 8:00am
Newstalk ZB recording starts at 0.40 – Mike Hosking comments:
Let me just precis this for you. So, this bloke who's been stood down – here's what Mallard said: Quote.
"We are talking about serious sexual assault." End of quote.
Trevor Mallard
Well, that for me – that's rape, what Trevor Mallard said. He also said this. Quote.
"I am satisfied that the Parliamentary Services removed the threat to the safety of women working in the parliamentary complex. One of the key dangers is no longer in the building." End of quote.
So, what happened was, this was a complaint that happened, ah… one year ago, after an event that happened three years ago, and it was unsubstantiated – and that's the important point to remember here.
These things were investigated, they were unsubstantiated. No time was I spoken to by the Reviews head, Debbie Francis, so this recent Mallard enquiry, the person concerned was not spoken to at all, the complaint was ruled to be unsubstantiated last year – laid two years after the incident happened – it's a weird story.
Clipboards missing – they're all looking for it with great relief they find it. She gives him a high five, he goes and hugs her. That's it.
Two years later she lays the complaint, both of them were interviewed. Her claim was he hugged her from behind – that was found to be unsubstantiated, no further action was warranted.
After Mallard's call for the review, she comes forward again and says "Can you have a look at the complaint?" And that's where this whole thing starts to fall apart.
Another incident in which the same woman, was involved in another one of the complaints – he passed a comment about another woman's hair looking nice, the original complainant, clipboard woman, telling her he was looking at her breasts.
[The] third complaint followed a platonic friendship: woman turns up to his house with her son for a cup of tea with his wife. He says he kissed her on the cheek when she was leaving, and he suspects she was put up to the complaint by somebody else.
That's what you're dealing with – all unsubstantiated. Where's the rape? Where's the danger? And that's why Mallard is in a world of trouble because he's… there's no question he's defamed this person.
The subject evoked in the collage is the debating of political issues with friends in a public place

I used a #40 countersink bit and cage to clean up the dimpled holes in the rear spar. I attached the cage to my battery powered cordless drill. The lower rpm drill yields a better result when working with the countersink. Here is a pic from half way down the bottom side rear spar.

Q: Optimization of multiple functions I have 3 functions which consist of 6 variables (p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6). The value of each function is equal to x (say):
f1=
sgn(2-p1)*sqrt(abs(2-p1))+sgn(2-p2)*sqrt(abs(2-p2))+sgn(2-p3)*sqrt(abs(2-p3));

f2= sgn(p4-2)*sqrt(abs(p4-2))+sgn(p5-2)*sqrt(abs(p5-2))+sgn(p6-2)*sqrt(abs(p6-2));

f3=
sgn(p1-p4)*sqrt(abs(p1-p4))+sgn(p2-p5)*sqrt(abs(p2-p5))+sgn(p3-p6)*sqrt(abs(p3-p6));

I want to find the combination of values of p1,p2,p3,p4,p5 and p6 for which x is maximum. Constraints are:
0 <= p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6 <= 4
Simply varying every variable from 0 to 4 taking small steps is not a good solution. Can someone tell me an efficient method to optimise the solution (preferably in python).

A: This is a non-linear optimization problem without an obvious close form solution. Better ask this question in another forum.

Q: 3 column fit-fluid-fit layout with CSS How do I create a fit/fluid/fit column layout with CSS? By fit I mean the column width is that of the content in it. I do not want to set a pixel or percentage width for the outer columns, I want them to be the width of the content within them. I've resorted to using tables for the time being but it feels very wrong. Any suggestions?

A: Found a CSS only solution. Just tried it, works great.
http://www.thecssninja.com/xhtml/sangraal-layout
At first glance it seems like a 'fixed'-'fluid'-'fixed' layout, but you'll find if you remove the fixed widths on the right and left column that the columns 'fit' to the text you provide, and the center remains fluid without the center column or the container needing to know anything about the widths of the left and right columns.
Truly the Sangraal.

A: http://jsfiddle.net/Mutant_Tractor/bDdq9/1/

A: Not using table, but maybe you can have a look there http://www.alistapart.com/d/holygrail/example_4.html that seems to be very similar of what you need.

Family Remembers Father Who Drowned Saving His Son With Down Syndrome
National | Steven Ertelt | Apr 23, 2014 | 1:02PM | Washington, DC
Washington, DC (LiveActionFilms) – In a video memorializing the memory of Thomas Vander Woude, his family recalls his heroic sacrifice for his son Joseph. Vander Woude was the father of seven sons.
Five years ago, he died on his family farm after rescuing his drowning son, who has Down syndrome, from a septic tank into which he had fallen. Loved ones say that he died as he had lived: next to his son, and for his son. Thomas left behind a loving family, and last month Focus on the Family shared a video featuring his wife and sons remembering their father and his legacy of love.
In the video, Thomas's son Daniel shares a story of his father's love for Joseph – a love that was oblivious to human opinion or scrutiny, and simply focused on the good of his child:
Downs kids are delayed, so in order for their brain to develop properly, they have to go back and relive certain things that we just go through naturally for a quick period of time. Like normally, in your childhood development, the stage where you're crawling – that helps your brain develop. So dad made these really long socks for his arms, and he and Joseph would crawl around. Here's my dad, and he's raised all these kids, and he's crawling around outside on the ground. He's crawling around on the floor everywhere with my brother Joseph. So he just taught us an incredible example about, it doesn't matter what people think, it's all about just giving of yourself.
Thomas's wife recalled his selfless sacrifice in terms of the similarity he shares with the sacrifice of Christ:
He did mirror what Christ did for us on the cross. Christ died for us so that we, too, will be able to be in heaven someday.
His son Thomas is a priest. Fr. Thomas was called to the emergency room to anoint his dying father before he realized that the patient was actually his own dad. Fr. Thomas has carried on his father's pro-life legacy, and just last summer, he was instrumental in saving the life of a baby who had received a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. Given only one day to find an adoptive family – or else the biological parents would abort the baby – Father found three.

Should I change the stupid name of "Messenging"
Hey drjdpowell, Now when I think of this the Messenger Library, I think of it as specifically a framework for passing messages(a design pattern) to asynchronously running code(Actors), and I think of things like ZeroMQ and WAMP. This link to WAMP has diagrams that sorta show a portion of the Messenger Library operation: http://wamp.ws/why/ Also some zeroMQ info. http://zeromq.org/docs:the-ten-minute-talk What about a name like EMQueue (Event Messaging Queue) also, I pm'd.
How much does IMAQ use the GPU?
This is a good question, and I would be interested in if when using the External Display in IMAQ, if that vi uses the Graphics card at all to help display the Images.
How To Get Actual VI Execution State?
Interesting! I just ran into this. I was calling a vi Dynamically and I wanted to check to see if it was running before I called it. I thought I could just use Exec.State property, but that returns running, even if the SubVI is just loaded in memory and waiting to run. I'm searching for an easy way to tell if a VI is actually Running. If I cant find something soon, I'll probably just have to write code to track when the dynamically called VI starts or exits.
Perhaps OP lives in North Korea, and has been "tasked" with this project.
Yes, I like the way that this is flexible for any control, but my Multiple Actors individually need different control events. Polling is ok for me, because usually in the Proccess actors, the process is started on a timed basis, or is freerunning in a loop as fast as it can go. In these cases, I just want the latest or close to latest desired variable from the UI as parameters in the process math.
I understand that this can easily introduce race conditions. However, in my case where I used the DVR (as essentially a FGV by reference) , I only desired to have access to a recent image for viewing. I understand that this DVR method would not work effectively if I was trying to capture every single frame sent over the network, or if I needed to associate a real time parameter to an exactly timed image. Why would I simply not use the In-Place Structures? I have a Main UI actor that has subpanels, menus, right-click menus on the subpanels as well as the controls inside the subpanels. For charting, I mainly have Simple Vi's that only process and display a chart information. For example, the Main UI actor will get a Chart1 data message and this variant will be directly passed into a simple Charting vi that executes once and Updates the Chart control on the Front Panel, which is user selectable to be placed into a subpanel on the Main UI. So basicly I didn't see the point in making the simple VI another actor. However, I do also have other pop up windows that are actors in themselves that are launched by the Main UI. My Main problem is communicating the UI Variable information to the select locations / actors in the code where the processing happens. Currently, I am doing a mix of event messages, and DVR UI Variables that are polled by the processor when the select variable is needed. The thing is, I seem to be having to pass the DVR UI Variable Reference to almost every Actor, and I don't think that I should be doing that. Anyways, I am going to think on how my UI is laid out, and I am going to describe it more in this thread: http://lavag.org/topic/15438-re-designing-multi-instrument-multi-ui-executable/ I'll continue to comment on UI layout and communication with controls there to save this thread from going off topic too much.
drjdpowell, using your messaging framework, My main reasoning was using a DVR requires less code work to recieve the data in the Actors and there are no memory copies(granted, most UI settings are not very memory intensive): When not Using a DVR: -- one has to make sure that every actor recieves an update when the UI actor has a user change something. - This could be done easily enough with writing the variable to the Notify Observers (Event) in your messaging framework and having all actors that need to be updated register for this event. Then each Actor should contain the UI-Settings class stored in a shift register that is the same as the one in the UI actor. And as events happen, the UI-Settings class is updated with the new values. NOW, here is something that Gets me also....... Some of my actors have a communication loop AND a processing loop that Runs as fast as it can. Now i have to not only pass my UI-settings to the Communication loop, but also to the Processing Loop. So In this case, I am passing the UI-Settings between the two loops on the vi via Notifier, and the Notifier updates every time the Communication loop gets an update. Much like what you have in the Metronome Class. -- If Using a DVR, then the Reference is passed once, and every time a Process actor needs a parameter from the UI, it simply pulls the Correct value from the DVR. I am sure you may loose some encapsulation here, but the gain in coding speed from not having to register for all the events and no memory copies may be worth it? Granted if the UI-Settings needed to be shared over a network, the way to go would be not using a DVR. I started thinking about DVR's because i just used one in my code. Consider This Case: The User launched a TCP Client Actor from a setting on the UI. This TCP Actor was constantly fed an image. The way I handled this, was I created an Image DVR and put it in the class that launched the Actor. So i fed the Image DVR around to every Actor that needed it and as the TCP Actor Updated the Image, it was accessible everywhere very conveniently.
WOW, I had no idea that you could hook the DVR directly up to the Property node. Thanks for showing this here. I am trying to think of a good way to pass UI settings (i.e. On/Off switch states or User location) down to Data Processor Actors. I think I'll just create a UI-Real Time Variable Class, make a DVR then Send a Message to the Actors with the DVR. Then any Actor Process that needs these Real time Updateable Values set by a User can pull what it needs directly from the DVR. This method would be instead of Messaging each Actor with the new Value every time that the UI had a setting Change. Any Thoughts on this? Does this seem exactly what I should do? Should I just Use a <gasp> Global?
Yes, that is correct. I have written so many TCP servers and Clients, its not funny and I'm tired of writing them. So, A prebuilt Server or Client that I just drop on the diagram that Executes in parallel is awesome! And I'll just register the tcp message processing actor with the client. or for a server, the UI or processor simply sends a message to the TCP server actor. Usually there seems to be two ways that data is sent over a TCP to a client. one way is the TCP string is appended with the size of the string, and the other is no size information with the TCP string, the loop simply waits for data and timeouts if no data. so basically how it would work is one section of the actor will listen for connections/disconnects, and the other loop processes messages. really very similar to your TCP messaging framework that you've written. I will work on creating this drop in TCP server/client, i'll post it when im done... might be a little while though.
hey drjdpowell! So, I have downloaded your newest version of the messager library. I really like this library, and have been starting to use it. It has really helped me to understand the LVOOP. I really like the way that the Actors are Launched using the type 2 Actor, where simply the vi with the name of Actor is called in the Class; that Dynamic Launch Shell VI with the child class implementation is simply ingenious. I havent really played around with the Actor Manager much yet, I noticed that the file is missing in the VIPM distribution. That would be cool if you could add it! here is an idea for you regarding a usefull Parallel Process, you may have already thought of this, though. I have an actor TCP Client and and actor TCP Server that simply sets up the port with either a service name or a port number, and listens/sends TCP packets as strings. (I'm not trying to sent class messages over the TCP port.) So any Actor that registers its observer with the TCP Client will automatically recieve the message "TCP Packet" when there are bytes available at the port.

Roche scored a big win for its cancer franchise today, reporting that a key Phase III trial adding Perjeta to Herceptin and chemotherapy outperformed the two older standards alone in reducing the risk of death or relapse for early-stage breast cancer patients after surgery. Analysts crowed that the clinical victory signals a major advance for Roche, likely adding billions to its megablockbuster oncology franchise.
Shares of Roche jumped as much as 7% on Thursday morning, a rare spike for a Big Pharma like Roche.
Herceptin has played a huge role in combating HER2-positive breast cancer. But Roche is now facing generic competition on that front that could seriously erode sales. Adding Perjeta to their combo will make it a much tougher franchise to compete against.
Tim Anderson, who expects to see Perjeta worldwide sales double to more than $4 billion in the next five years, wants to see the data at ASCO. "Without full details of the data, however, some degree of hand-wringing will likely continue, in terms of just how big the clinical benefit is likely to be," he added.
That message was not lost on investors in Puma $PBYI. The biotech has been testing a combination of neratinib and chemo against the standard Herceptin matchup in breast cancer. And while it has produced positive data, neratinib is also linked closely with severe diarrhea.
"Following this morning's…positive top-line data in APHINITY, barring any unlikely and unexpected surprises when the full data are presented (most likely at ASCO), the commercial opportunity for neratinib in the extended adjuvant setting should be considered as eliminated," noted RBC's Simos Simeonidis.
Puma's shares tanked this morning, plunging 23% in pre-market trading.
The data from Roche's APHINITY study will have to wait for an upcoming conference, but analysts say that they're looking for a several point improvement in the percentage of women in this study whose breast cancer did not return within three years, beating a standard combo that already has scored a very high success rate in stopping cancer.

Donbass Battalion (Ukraine)
Keywords: donbass battalion |
Zoltan Horvath, 2 Jan 2015
The Donbass Batalion is a troop of voluntaries, who are fighting for the Ukraine government against the Russian separatists in East Ukraine. Here is a photo of the consecration ceremony of their flag in 2014.
Jan-Patrick Fischer, 1 Jan 2015
Please note that flag colours are reversed to compare with Ukrainian national flag, does it have any significance?
This battalion was established as an Ukrainian military volunteer unit (now incorporated) into the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as opposed to the "Donbass People's Militia"
Donbas Battalion, (Ukrainian: Батальйон "Донбас"), is a volunteered National Guard of Ukraine unit subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, based in Severodonetsk. The (military) formation was established in the Spring of 2014 during the 2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine, more precisely through a fundraiser in April 2014 by Semen Semenchenko (nom de guerre of Kostyantyn Hrishyn) (who claimed to be an ethnic Russian native of Donetsk and holds the rank of Major in the National Guard of Ukraine. The unit has been fully integrated into the armed forces of Ukraine and re-designated as the 3rd Reserve Battalion of the National Guard of Ukraine.
Semenchenko, a former Ukrainian reserve captain, claims that he and the other members of the Donbas Battalion gained combat experience in the Ukrainian Ground Forces or Soviet Army. According to him the all-volunteer Battalion was initially funded wholly by their own members savings and donations from individuals and "receiving zero salary from either the state or oligarchs". The Ukrainian Interior Ministry adopted Donbas Battalion as a National Guard of Ukraine unit thus allowing them to operate legally.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semen_Semenchenko
The flag is the emblem on a horizontal yellow over blue (equal stripes) flag, as seen here.
The emblem has the word Донбас (Donbass in Ukrainian) over the Donetsk County flag, above a diving black eagle.
The Donbass battalion is one of such "Territorial defense battalions" (Ukrainian: Батальйо́ни територіа́льної оборо́ни) which are non-professional (para)military units compounded of volunteers and they are under the command of Ukrainian Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defence created to combat Donetsk People's Republic and Lugansk People's Republic insurgents (and allegedly also regular Russian troops who later joined the conflict) during the War in Donbass. By late 2014 there were more than 50 of these units.

Hi Grommeteers! It's good to be here. FiftyP a socially conscious, money management website for kids; the only place where kids earn, invest, save, spend and share their own money – and have fun doing it. In short, we help kids develop a healthy relationship with money.
At FiftyP, it all starts with allowance - the best tool a parent has to teach kids about money. The good news is that most American families pay allowance. And yet recent studies show the rate of bankruptcy amongst 18-to-24-year-olds has grown faster than in any other age group! Why? Because paying allowance the old way - into the bank or piggy bank – doesn't teach them much.
At FiftyP, earnings are actively managed by the child in a 100% safe and structured environment. Only when kids make their own financial decisions in a community of like-minded kids, do healthy money habits stick.
I'd also like to mention that FiftyP gets kids talking – with family and friends: not about the brands they "need" to have, but about things that matter. Like financial goals, safe investments, and the future. We also get them talking about social causes that make a difference and we lead by example: FiftyP stands for 50% - as we donate 50% of our profit to charity. Because giving back is also part of a healthy relationship with money.
This is an AMAZING tool! I'm definitely going to get my daughters working with this! Thank You!
What a terrific tool for teaching kids about money management, particularly in today's economy!
FiftyP is clearly an excellent learning tool but feel strongly that it is unrealistic to be teaching children that they should be "giving back" fifty percent of what they earn. Even the strict old biblical rule only calls for 10%. My suggestion is that the percentage to "give back" also be a decision made by the kids but that a minimum of 10% is a requirement.
If we are teaching our children in a realistic structure, lets be consistent.
@Gary Sorry that 50% "giving back" point was probably confusing on the video. 50% is simply the % that the company FiftyP gives, from their own profits, to charity. They have no say or influence directly on what kids decide to do, with their own money. The families using the service can set any % they like... I agree...50% given to charity would not be realistic in any typical budget....from individual child to a full family! For a child, it could even be a deterrent to earning money. Too onerous.
I've been using FiftyP with my son and what I like about it is that you can talk to your kids about how much they want to save, spend, and share ... and make adjustments as frequently as you want.
So you can set it up to drop 70% of their allowance into their "spend" account, 20% into the "save" account and 10% into the "share" account, for example.
I once heard Dan Kindlon, child psychologist and author of "Too Much of A Good Thing" and "Raising Cain", speak about this type of allowance arrangement. I really like the idea, but struggle to implement it with all the other distractions in life. I think it's great that FiftyP has put some structure around this for busy families. I will check it out.
Thanks for the clarification Jules. One further point: FiftyP shares 50% of its profit because we want *all* kids to participate in "giving back" - even if they don't have their own Share Money. Charity is an important part of developing a healthy relationship with money.
Hi Aldagh - When we're ready to roll Ireland, you'll be the first to know! In the meantime, there's a lot your family can do with a Free Membership. p.s. my wife and I recently returned from County Cork and love your country!
Hi Jeff - You can conveniently load-up chores - as well as projects around the house, or special occasion gifts for each child upon sign-in. Print-out "Fridge View" for easy tracking of responsibilities by child. Allowance can be tied or untied to chores, at any time, at the click of a button. Enjoy!
This is a good find. Going to give it a shot w/ our kids. Will keep you posted on how we do.
Our name has changed…but our mission is the same!
We are now ThreeJars – think Save, Spend, and Share. ThreeJars transforms how kids think about and handle money.
Three Jars founder and CEO Anton Simunovic came up with the idea for this innovative, kid-friendly website after struggling with the challenge of helping his five children learn about responsible money management. Much more than a digital piggy bank, Three Jars helps teach kids about earning, saving, and spending money in a safe, easy-to-use environment controlled by their parents.
When parents sign up for a Three Jars membership, an account is also created for their child. Parents choose how much and how often to pay an allowance, and these payments — along with any gifted money — are posted to the child's Three Jars account. Parents hold the actual cash, while Three Jars tracks each child's earnings.
Kids choose what to do with their money: save it, spend it, or share it. There are several investment options, which allow a child to earn interest from their parents as though they had put their money in a bond, CD, or high-yield savings plan. Kids can spend their money by requesting cash or gift cards, and the sharing option allows kids to make donations to the charity of their choice. While kids manage their own accounts, all financial decisions require parental approval.
It's a fun and secure way to teach financial responsibility, and Three Jars makes monthly donations to causes chosen by the community of kids using the service.
