Prevention of symptomatic COVID-19 disease IS NOT equivalent to immunity. Therefore, those who are getting jabbed aren't getting a vaccine.
Thread starter shnarkle
shnarkle
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a vaccine is "a product that stimulates a person's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease." Immunity, in turn, is defined as "Protection from an infectious disease," meaning that "If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected."
Neither Moderna nor Pfizer claim this to be the case for their COVID-19 "vaccines." In fact, in their clinical trials, they specify that they will not even test for immunity.
Unlike real vaccines, which use an antigen of the disease you're trying to prevent, the COVID-19 injections contain synthetic RNA fragments encapsulated in a nanolipid carrier compound, the sole purpose of which is to lessen clinical symptoms associated with the S-1 spike protein, not the actual virus.
They do not actually impart immunity or inhibit transmissibility of the disease. In other words, they are not designed to keep you from getting sick with SARS-CoV-2; they only are supposed to lessen your infection symptoms if or when you do get infected.
As such, these products do not meet the legal or medical definition of a vaccine,
So, in summary, "vaccine" and "immunity" are well-defined terms that do not match the end points specified in COVID-19 vaccine trials. The primary end point in these trials is: "Prevention of symptomatic COVID-19 disease." Is that the same as "immunity"? No, it is not.

Reactions: evoguy313 and Roger Thornhill
Your argument is like saying wearing a seat belt in a car is a waste of time because they do not prevent car crashes. Surely the point here is that people are far less likely to get seriously ill.
If someone said they had a medicine that would stop cancer making you ill, but would not stop you getting the cancer, would you take it?

No. It's like pointing out that the automobile manufacturers just redefined a seat belt to include a rubber band.
Surely the point here is that people are far less likely to get seriously ill.
Except that isn't how the CDC defines a vaccine.
Of course not, especially given that everyone has cancer cells in their body, and most people aren't sick to begin with. Excellent analogy!
shnarkle said:
So earlier Fow Chee defined herd immunity as people who had been vaccinated and those which had antibodies. Then he pivoted to those who had been 2 dose vaccinated.
That also is a farce.
As ridiculous as this all has become, I'm starting to wonder what the possibility is of viral shedding from those who have been injected. I haven't considered practicing social distancing or wearing a mask since this all began, but I'm seriously thinking about purchasing a hazmat suit and a respirator now. I really don't want to be around anyone anymore, but especially anyone who has had their holy jab already.
Only if the rubber bnand is effective at prevent injuries.
The injection DOES stop people getting badly ill.
Okay... You are aware that a lot of people become very ill, and many die from cancer, right? But even so, you would still refuse a drug that would prevent that?
I think that sums up the difference in our positions.
Rubber bands are not seat belts.
So what? That's not the definition of a vaccine. The CDC clearly defines a vaccine as providing immunity. The injection has proven to actually make people sick, in some cases being exposed to the wild virus can have the exact opposite effect.
Okay... You are aware that a lot of people become very ill, and many die from cancer, right?
You are aware that everyone has cancer cells, and that cancer is easily controlled by diet, right?
But even so, you would still refuse a drug that would prevent that?
I don't need any drugs. I'm healthy. I've had cancer, but did some research and discovered how cancer cells function. Cancer prevents cellular death from oxygen deprivation. The caveat is that the more an environment becomes anaerobic the more cancer thrives; it's a catch 22 if one doesn't do anything to stop it. The simple fix is to move one's ph to a more alkaline level, and oxygenate the system. Viruses, harmful bacteria, parasites, and most especially cancer cannot live in an oxygenated environment.
When they injected their radioactive dye into my veins I asked them how does a radioactive dye light up cancer cells or tumors? They pointed out that they have to mix the dye with a "delivery mechanism". I then had to prod them for that ingredient as well which they then revealed was "glucose" aka Sugar. Cancer LOVES sugar, and the rate at which it uptakes sugar is significantly higher than normal cells so it lights up the cancer cells and tumors.
I stopped consuming sugar, and lo and behold; no more cancer. In addition to exercising regularly, I also found a great way to increase oxygen in my body which makes it impossible for me to get sick at all anymore. I boost my CO2 levels which automatically boosts oxygen levels as well. So I'm a major cause of global warming which is great for my vegetable garden as well; a win/win.
Holy Jab
Placebo?
How do you know?
People without "holy jab' that were infected ..many asymptomatic. The vaccine didn't make them asymptomatic.
Many infected didn't get "badly ill" who were not 'vaccinated."
You are not an infectious diseases expert.
It wouldn't surprise me if there were a lot of placebo injections out there. Now there's a shot I would go for. Have you seen the news footage of the doctor administering a shot to some politician with a syringe with no needle? They go through all the motions, but someone enhanced the picture and zoomed in revealing that there was no needle.
There has been a lot of testing to establish efficacy.
I have no idea what you point is. But then, nor do you.
I am also not the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, have an olympic daughter, 16 sloops, etc. Just like you.
The difference is that I do not feel a need to pretend I do.
There has been ZERO testing on ANY isolated sequences. The inventor of the PCR test admitted this. Even the pieces that they have used are mixed in with all sorts of other material; it's a soup.
Their point is that healthy people with no symptoms don't need to be vaccinated with an experimental gene therapy. Just sick people who are clearly insane are going to feel the need to do something like this to stem the fear porn that Big Pharma is peddling through the mainstream news outlets. The "fire and brimstone" preachers don't hold a candle to the fear mongering going on around the world nowadays. It's ironic how people who can see how wrong it is for Christians to preach the dangers of hell fire for rejecting the gospel message, are so quick to jump on the fear porn wagon and get their holy jab little knowing that this is only going to be the first of many of these sacramental holy jabs that await them for the rest of their lives.
It's no coincidence that the guy who stole, and then patented open source software from others, and continues to throw out "updates" would see the financial benefit of applying this same method to vaccines. The first one requires two shots, but of course just like the computer viruses that are released into the world wide web, genetic material can also be manipulated requiring more vaccines to deal with them.
How about we stop letting them create these new strains in the first place, or is that too simple of an idea?
J regia
So what is your point, and do you think that we shouldn't get annual flu vaccines and other vaccines either?
Electric Skeptic
Okay, so it's not technically a vaccine. So what?
Both of these 'treatments' for cancer - more oxygen and less sugar are pseudoscience at best with no proven benefit whatsoever.
LifeIn
The fact that cancer cells metabolize carbs faster than other cells is useful for detection only. It does not work as a treatment. No matter how much you cut down on sugar, the cancer cells will metabolize more of whatever there is than other cells. You will never get to the point of "starving" the cancer cells without starving (and killing) the rest of the body. What is true is that too much sugar can cause inflammation and that can lead to cancer. There are plenty of good reasons to cut down on sugar (for heart health, especially). But curing cancer is not one of them.
Note to readers: Do not take health advice from any anonymous internet source, including me. Talk to your doctor.
Reactions: inertia, Torin and The Pixie
Oh, this "old" thread. So they still insist people who have been vaccinated keep wearing masks.
LifeIn said:
You defend Fao Chi Min who gets his proclamations from the world wide web posts.
Just the other day..may have been yesterday or the day before Fai Chi was being interviewed and he said the vaccine will not prevent someone from getting the virus then asymptomatically spreading it.
Is this news to you?


Influence of Hypothermia on Pharmacokinetics of Vecuronium in Rat Livers Investigated.
Beaufort et al. used an isolated perfused rat liver model with a fairly constant perfusion rate to elucidate the influence of hypothermia on the uptake of vecuronium in the intact organ. The researchers divided each perfusion experiment into three phases: (1) a 950-μg bolus of vecuronium was administered, followed by a continuous infusion of vecuronium throughout the experiment; (2) temperature was reduced to 28°C; and (3) temperature was restored to 38°C. In control experiments, temperature was kept constant throughout the perfusion procedure. Concentrations of vecuronium and its metabolites were measured in the perfusion medium, in bile collected from the livers, and in liver homogenate.
The team found that hypothermia increased the amount of vecuronium in the perfusion medium and that, when normal temperatures were restored, this amount decreased. Although hypothermia reversibly reduced the net uptake of vecuronium to the liver, biliary excretion remained virtually intact. Hypothermia drastically reduced the biliary excretion rate of 3-desacetyl vecuronium in contrast to that of the parent compound. Researchers were able to measure metabolism of vecuronium in only one of three liver homogenate preparations, and they found in that case that hypothermia reduced the rate of conversion by a factor of 2. Pharmacokinetic analysis showed that the hypothermia-induced changes in the pharmacokinetics of vecuronium could be described adequately only by the combination of reduced hepatic net uptake and reduced metabolism. These results show the need for effective measurement of muscle relaxants during hypothermia to prevent overdosing.

Home Speakers Programme Workshops Partners About
Sharmila Tagore August 8, 2016
I received Mita Kapur's invitation to Bhutan's literature festival, Mountain Echoes with a lot of mixed feelings. Tiger and I had always wanted to visit Bhutan but never did. Now Tiger was not here and eight months on I was still struggling with his absence. Yet moved by all the things I had heard about Bhutan I felt irresistibly drawn towards this land of Gross National Happiness.
It was an early morning flight and I had dozed off. The announcement from the Druk Air cockpit alerting us about our descent woke me up. I opened my eyes to a different world. We were surrounded by a vast, undulating, lush green landscape of pine forests silently swaying against the soft blue of the sky watched over by serene and benevolent mountains. It was a magnificent sight and even my plateaued senses couldn't help but respond to its sheer beauty. The comforting pine scented air of Thimphu was just the tonic I needed. I felt at peace.
The four-day retreat at the literature festival remains a happy memory even three years later. I met so many old friends and made many new ones. The days were mostly spent on some very absorbing and interactive sessions. The ecological consequence of mountain tourism, in depth soul searching by Bollywood insiders, weaving, women's issues and traditions of Bhutan, a passionate reading by Vikram Seth of his latest work and Laila Tyabji's insightful discourse of textiles and costumes – all of these were a wonderful mix of learning and entertainment. The melodious music recitals by the Bhutanese musicians in between panels calmed and energized at the same time.
My own session was extremely well attended and it made me happy to see Bhutanese people were so well informed about an actor from India who had not been a part of mainstream cinema for a long while. Also there was enough time for meaningful sightseeing and discovering Bhutan's ancient monasteries and artefacts. Although I still didn't feel ready to attend any of the evening celebrations I found I could participate in the ones that took place at the Taj Tashi from my room that overlooked the hospitality area. I heard the music and saw the delegates come and go, hug each other and enjoy themselves. This made me feel a part of the festivities even when I was alone in my room.
Right from the opening ceremony where Her Majesty, the Royal Queen Mother Ashi Dorji Wangmo Wangchuck brought the house down with a mention of a "sapnon ki rani", the Royal Family welcomed me with a lot of warmth and affection. Pavan Varma who was our Ambassador then also made a special effort to make sure that my stay in Bhutan was a memorable experience.
I'm aware that change is the only constant and this beautiful hill kingdom cannot escape change and progress but I sincerely hope that it does so while preserving the values that so appealed to me during my stay. The attention to aesthetics, the natural beauty all around, the lack of clutter, the genteel way of life and the immense sensitivity and courtesy of its people must and should live on.
It gives me great pleasure to take this opportunity to wish His Majesty the fourth Druk Gyalpo Jigme Singye Wangchuck a very happy birthday and say how much I appreciate his compassion and vision. May he live long and continue to enrich his people with his grace and wisdom.

Description This was a verypleasant walk following Offa's Dyke over the Clwydian Hills.
Condition I am fairly fatigued after this walk and my calves continue to be tight, but aside from this I have had no problems.
Weather The day started off sunny but with a very cold wind that caused me to put my coat on before I set off. As I started the descent down off the hills the clouds started to gather, and after walking through drizel on the tops it started to rain propery. The heavy shower lasted for about an hour, but it was soon repaled by warm sunshine.
I awoke this morning very relaxed, and felt in absolutely no hurry to get up and do anything. Eventually I had a long shower and went out for breakfast to be greeted with some superb views over the plains to the west. Breakfast was a buffet-style affair, and I chatted to two other walkers as I ate and let the views sink in. It was tempting to go for another quick swim before I set off, but instead I slunk back to my room and watched some television, I was not in too much of a hurry as I am planning to camp about a mile away from Bodfari, and as there will be little to do at the campsite I do not want to arrive too early.
Eventually I started to pack up, and the other two walkers (who were heading off in the other direction to me) set off a few minutes before me. I thanked the lady who ran the motel - it had been a great place to stay and I had enjoyed myself in the pool and sauna immensely - and started off along the trail. Initially this followed the road, but it soon headed off along a track through a landscape filled with gorse. Due to the sunshine I had decided to start off without a fleece or coat on, but the chilly wind that had lapsed for the last couple of days was back with a vengeance and after a few minutes I was forced to stop to put my fleece on.
The track was level for the first mile or so and it was a very enjoyable walk, but the first climb of the day from Bwlch Crug-glas up towards Foel Fenlli was soon upon me. This was very steep and soon had me puffing; I was forced to take my time and stop occasionally, a fact that did not bother me unduly as it allowed me to take in the good views. The path did not go over the summit of the hill but instead followed the ramparts of the fort around the western flank, which again afforded me some good views. As soon as the path leveled out I soon recovered from the climb and enjoyed the walk, with the bank and ditch of the ramparts more than visible in places.
A steep descent took me down off the hill towards an obtrusive car park in Bwlch Penbarra, and passed several people walking up past me to visit the fort, which is apparently the highest of a chain of them in the Clywdian Hills. At the car park I stopped and took my rucksack off for a few minutes as I walked over to look at the nearby viewpoint. There was an information board here that pointed out various hills, and I believe that I could just make out the summit of Snowdon in the far distance. It was a really pleasant day for walking, and after basking in the sun for a few minutes a nearby refreshment van got my attention. A bacon sandwich was tempting but eventually I decided against it, and instead put my rucksack on and started off once more along the trail.
From the car park a wide track took me onwards, climbing so gently that I could spend most of my time looking at the views over to my left. After a short while the path was on the top of a wide ridge, rising and falling slightly as it headed northwards. There were many people out and about and the path seemed more like a motorway than a trail, and it is obviously a very popular place. A stiff climb took me up to the summit of Moel Fammau, and on the climb branches from conifers had been laid down to keep people from straying off the path and to allow the ground to recover.
The summit of Moel Fammau was notable for several reasons. Firstly were the remains of the Jubilee Tower, built in 1810 to commemorate the Jubilee of George III and which fell down shortly afterwars. The resultant pile of stones looked fairly ugly, but I can see why it is popular - the views from around it were absolutely superb. A second reason the summit is notable is that there is a trig pillar at the summit from which there were more good views, and the final reason is that it is the old county top of Flintshire, and is therefore one that I could tick off my list. I walked around for a while but did not bother to climb the steps up to the top of the tower; the views were good enough from the base and the wind was starting to make me feel chilly; indeed, I had planned to stop here for lunch, but the wind forced me to continue on.
A fairly long descent followed, and on the way an elderly gentleman joined me and we chatted away for about a mile. He has done much walking in this area, and knew it like the back of his hand. It was nice to have the company, but before the path started to climb up towards the summit of Moel Dywyll he peeled off to the right. There were less people around hare than there had been nearer the previous summit, and I took this as a sign that many people could not be bothered walking very far from their cars. This was their loss as what followed was a pleasant stroll along a ridge, slowly falling and rising onto Moel Llys-y-coed, a walk that was not too difficult and very enjoyable.
After a while the conical form of Moel Arthur became visible ahead of me, and this marked the part of the day's walk that I had not been looking forward to. Although the path on the flanks of Moel Arthur was lower than my current height, there was a very steep descent and ascent required to reach it. The descent itself was quite hard and I took my time, and by the road at the bottom I stopped and sheltered in a little hollow to have a break. I scoffed a chocolate bar in the sunshine, and after a while I decided to set off once again. From here the climb up the flanks of the hill did not seem too bad, and indeed ti was not; the ascent going the other way from the road would be much more strenuous, and before I knew it the gradient was slackening once again.
Another descent followed down to a road and yet another car park, after which the path climbed up westwards as it skirted the edge of some woodland up onto the large fort of Penycloddiau. This fort is much larger than any of the other Clywdian forts, and as I clambered across the moorland towards the ramparts it started to spit with rain. This was a surprise as no rain had been forecast, but as there were grey clouds all around I quickly stopped to put my coat on. This was a good thing as the cloud lowered as I climbed across the fort, and before I knew it I was in the cloud layer. As the wind was blowing from left to right my left-hand side was getting wet and my right-hand side was remaining dry, and it was only when I started the long descent down from the fort and I left the cloud layer that it started to rain properly.
On the way down I passed a nice lady who was walking the trail from north to south, and it looked as though she was finding the weather and terrain hard. We chatted for a few minutes and I felt slightly sorry for her - I was in a very different situation, having done many trails before and being very near the end of this one. There were a few more people about on the descent, but it continued to rain as a long descent started down from the hill range, passing a little farmstead at Ty Newydd and skirting along a track around the flanks of a hill. Next came a descent across a field that was covered in gorse that was in flower, and a lovely buttery smell wafted over me as I walked past, and finally the rain stopped.
Eventually I reached the road in Bodfari, and I immediately nipped into the post office to get myself a little food for the evening and a paper to read. A little further along the road was the Downing Arms, and as it was still early I nipped in for a while and was delighted when I saw that they had Abbot. I ordered a pint and a packet of crisps, and as my wallet was buried inside my coat I had to take my rucksack off in order to get it. Someone started humming the striptease theme tune, and I twirled my mapcase around in time, accidentally spraying one of the locals with water off it before pulling my coat open in two flashy moves.
The locals seemed to like this entrance and I sat down to sup my drink and have a look through the paper. Before long a group of walkers came in, and we started chatting for a while. When I said that I was camping at Fron Haul, a mile away up the hill, they started waxing lyrically about the food served there, and I started to feel upset that I was camping out rather than inside the house. By the time that the first pint was finished it was still early, so I nursed another pint for a while before putting my rucksack on and saying goodbye to the people in the pub. Outside I passed a group of people who were walking the half of the trail north from Knighton (they had down the first half from Chepstow the previous easter), and discovered they were staying at the same place as me.
A long haul ensued uphill, initially along a lane before heading off along footpaths. This skirted the flanks of the hill fort at Moel y Gaer before continuing on to meet a road. It was steep in places and I took my time, but the sun was out once again and I was continuing to dry out after the rain of the early afternoon. On a stile near the road I came across a hat that I recognised as bing Gary's, and I picked it up and carried it with me - one of the walkers in the other direction told me that he had lost it yesterday.
At the road I asked a homeowner where Fron Haul was, and he pointed me in the right direction. The lady who ran the place was very nice, and we chatted for a while before I slowly started putting my tent up in the sunshine, in a garden that was only just big enough for me to erect my tent (I could have orientated it differently, but I wanted to have my head uppermost),.
After a while the other walkers arrived from the pub, and the owner invited me in for a cup of tea with them. It was an enjoyable albeit brief chat, after which I had a shower and retired back to my tent and read the paper from cover to cover. It was tempting to go down to the pub for a meal as the food is meant to be particularly good, but I want to have a very early start in the morning and therefore I went to bed early, managing to drop off to sleep as soon as it got dark.
This makes a total distance of 13.0 miles, with 3261 feet of ascent and 3698 feet of descent.
I spent the night at Fron Haul,Sodom, Bodfari, Denbighshire LL16 4DY. Telephone (01745) 710301. This was a small campsite attached to what is apparently a superb B&B; the owner was very friendly and made me a cup of tea after I arrived, even though I was camping.

These mouthwatering short ribs are one of my go-to recipes when I know I'm going to have a busy day, but I want to enjoy a savory dish for dinner. They take just twenty minutes to prepare in the morning, and then I leave them in the slow cooker and let them cook all day until my family sits down to eat in the evening.
There are three ways to butcher short ribs: English, flanken, and boneless. It's cheaper to buy the cut with the bone still attached, and that's certainly nothing to complain about as the bones give the sauce added flavor. In the flanken style, the ribs are thinly cut across the bone. Each slice ends up having a few pieces of bone. Ribs butchered English style are cut parallel to the bone. The English style works best for this dish (flanken style ribs need to be cooked quickly over high heat).
I always recommend grass-fed beef as it's healthier and contains more nutrients than its grain-fed counterpart. However, it sometimes can be difficult to find grass-fed beef in supermarkets (and often I've seen supermarkets overpricing these meats). That's why I was delighted to discover US Wellness Meats. Their grass-fed beef is recognized for its exceptional taste, quality and health benefits, and you can order directly online from their website to have it delivered to your door. How easy is that?
Braising is one of the most popular ways to cook short ribs. It turns the toughest and most inexpensive cuts into the most succulent meats you've ever tasted. First, the ribs are seared in a pan until they're browned on either side. Searing the ribs extracts the collagen and breaks down the connective tissue, browning the outside and giving the meat an incredible depth of flavor. Then, the pot is covered, and the meat cooks in a sauce for several hours on the stove at a very low simmer, until it is soft and gently falls away from the bone when cut with a fork.
The braising process can be quite time-consuming so if you use a slow cooker for the second step it can be left unattended. (If you're looking to invest in a high-quality slow cooker, I recommend this one by Hamilton Beach). The ribs simmer slowly all day while you tackle the other things on your to-do list. When you Ireturn at the end of the day, the most delicious beef awaits you. Get the full recipe at The Gluten Free Homestead.

Re-framing China's environmental problems – jbs eek -mts
Patrick Miner
I spent fall term studying abroad in China. The language-immersion program in which I participated was based in Beijing, where I stayed for three months. I was also fortunate to be able to travel to Xi'an, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Guiyang, Zunyi, Chongqing, Yichang, Wuhan and Shanghai.
Before I arrived in the People's Republic of China, my expectations regarding China's environmental problems were largely based on a sort of caricature of their situation constructed out of misunderstanding by western media.
For example, in the lead up to the Beijing Olympics, U.S. media was obsessed with the idea that the air quality in the capital is horrendous and that the oh-so-unfortunate American athletes might perform poorly. They were partially correct — the air quality in Beijing is worse than that of any city in the U.S.
But the problem with "reporting" on such information without explaining the background is that it forms this caricature for the consumers of such media. If the only U.S. news agency allowed to air the Olympics — due to a contract involving NBC's parent company, General Electric — fails to explain the circumstances correctly, there is a good chance that the majority of viewers will accept what they are told and not think anything more of it.
By comparing Beijing to the only U.S. city that matches it in size, New York, it is easy to note the enormous differences in social, geographical and economic conditions that separate the two mega-cities.
Beijing is located in the arid north of China, receiving about 58 centimeters of rainfall annually. Only 37 percent of that rainfall is actually usable due to rapid evaporation. The city is also half-encircled by mountains and 90 miles away from the Pacific coast.
Beijing has no major river and it has had over one million residents for over 500 years. New York, on the other hand, receives 126 centimeters of rainfall per year, is located at the mouth of the Hudson River on the Atlantic coast, and its population passed the one million mark just 150 years ago.
Beijing's geographical conditions are perfect for keeping air pollution within the city. The mountains have a cradling effect on smog; the dry, sandy surroundings cause an increase in particles present in the air; the lack of rainfall prevents frequent breakup of the layer of smog that hovers over the capital.
Overall, there is simply too much pressure on Beijing's natural resources. While Beijing and New York are both important centers of culture, education, and economics, Beijing also has the role of capital of a nation four-and-a-half times as populous as the United States.
The story behind what NBC sensationalized is that the people of Beijing are in an extremely difficult position. The city's residents are contracting severe lung diseases and child asthma rates are off the charts. Water resources per capita amount to only 200 cubic meters per person, a figure 300 cubic meters below the U.N. figure that marks "Severe Water Shortage." Beijing is out of water.
What I hope to continue learning while at Lawrence and after I graduate is how to interpret a situation like this Olympics media misunderstanding. If we are hoping to work with other cultures and populations to solve the climate crisis, we should first understand conditions.

Blumenthal urges Wade to ban or restrict short-term health plans | HartfordBusiness.com . New to the site? Click here to register.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal has called on Connecticut's insurance commissioner to ban or restrict short-term health insurance plans, as other states have.
The Trump administration recently released new rules that would allow the sale of cheaper, skimpier health care plans that were originally intended for short-term use — not more than three months — but would now be available for nearly 12 months at a time. Under the new regulations, these plans could be renewed for up to three years.
Connecticut state law currently allows these plans for six months or less, and they are not renewable.
In a letter to Insurance Department Commissioner Katharine Wade, Blumenthal, D-Conn., said these plans are "inherently deceptive and fail to provide critically important coverage."
"Other states, including New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts have banned such 'junk plans' or put reasonable restrictions in place, recognizing that they are no more than a security blanket — providing a false sense of safety while offering little real protection," he wrote.
Donna Tommelleo, spokeswoman for the insurance department, said Tuesday that they had received the letter and will be responding to it.
Unlike Affordable Care Act plans, these plans, Blumenthal said, can exclude pre-existing conditions like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, mental health conditions and past pregnancies. Additionally, these plans aren't required to cover "common medical expenses," like maternity care, substance-use disorder treatment, preventive services, mental health treatment and prescription drugs.
"Connecticut should not aid the Trump administration's efforts to sabotage and undermine the ACA by luring consumers away from exchange policies with the false promise of low cost coverage," he said in his letter.


VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 27, 2018: Wildflower Marijuana Inc. (CSE: SUN) (FWB: RSP) ("Wildflower" or the "Company") has completed its due diligence and is on schedule for the purchase of multiple California cannabis licenses in the City of Los Angeles. This acquisition includes the ownership of a property with an operating dispensary and cultivation facility. These facilities are licensed to operate through LA's medical marijuana pre-interim control ordinance (pre-ICO).
The Los Angeles market has long been seen as the grand prize for legal cannabis in the United States and perhaps the world. With nearly 4 million people within the city limits, Los Angeles is by far the largest single potential market for cannabis sales in the U.S., an especially impressive number when you compare it to the 5.5 million people that constitute the population of the entire state of Colorado. The city of L.A. alone has as many tax-paying cannabis retailers as did the entire state of Colorado, which began adult-use sales in 2014. This does not even take into account the rest of the 88-city county of Los Angeles with a population of 18 million people.
While there may have been as many as 1,500 illegal dispensaries in L.A., all told, there are now only 47 businesses licensed by both the city and state to sell cannabis for recreational use in L.A. The number of cannabis shops that will eventually be allowed to operate within the city will be limited by land use requirements on where they're allowed to operate (for instance, stores can't open within 700 feet of schools, public parks or drug treatment centers). According to the planning department, these restrictions will effectively limit the number of storefronts carrying recreational cannabis to 390 citywide.
This purchase licenses Wildflower for cultivation, manufacturing, distribution and retail/delivery for both medical and adult-use cannabis from both the city of L.A. and the state of California. Currently, there are only 25 distribution licenses granted within the city of L.A., 49 manufacturing licenses and 110 cultivation licenses for the city of L.A.

It's like that y'all and you don't quit (x4)
Like Frankenstein or Count Dracula
I grab the mic and then I f*ck it up
I never settle for less and that's a fact
I'm lettin' you know we not the wack wack
We're nice and all that (c'mon) and I'm a keep goin' (yup)
Bound to make money off the shit that I'm growing
Like that y'all and you don't quit
Keep it on y'all rock the sure shit
I put the pen to the paper and I went off
I'm dropping knowledge and wisdom like a mad head dog
Step into the function 'cause I'm representing
Lyrics on the brain and they sit fermenting
I try to go and learn the give and the go
Free up my mind let loose with the lyric flow
Trying to get frank get back, get back, right
Trying to stay positive and feeling allright
It's like that y'all and ya don't quit
So pass the pen and then pass the pad
Like DJ Run there was nothin' ever like (??)
The sex rhyme kid is back in the panic
Gonna drop the ball on my damn mechanic
Fuckin' up my Nova, (naw) fuckin' up my life, (shit)
Fuckin' with my world, cause he's fuckin' with the pipe (aw damn)
Like the saying goes, you gotta call and duke it off
Ask Juanito, he'll tell you all about it
Gettin' rhymed in the mind, two hits in a car
Put my pager on private, jerk myself off,
Weight on my shoulders and now I'm stressin'
Gotta get back and count my blessings
Stuck on my cellular, I can't get off
This ride is in motion and I can't get let off
Get my penis stuck __(? in crack?)__ and my balls rotated
Realized I was trying to get my brain notated
It's like that y'all and ya don't quit (x4)

Architecture: Africa, your time is now
Graham Wood popped in to Architecture ZA 2018 to listen in on architects' conversations about the African city of the future, and heard some surprising things
28 June 2018 - 05:00 Graham Wood
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about last month's big architecture conference in Pretoria, Architecture ZA 2018 (AZA18), was that hardly anyone spoke about buildings. At least not in the ordinary, traditional sense of a building as a "thing". The talk was all about the spaces between them, and what happens there. As architect and urban designer Gerrit Jordaan put it in one talk on the day I attended: "The outside of the building is the inside of the city." And everyone, it seems, is preoccupied with the inside of the city. The conference's emphasis on cities is, of course, a response to the rapid urbanisation taking place around the world, and particularly in Africa. It's undoubtedly an urgent urban moment, placing some very real pressures on cities. But at the same time, there's a sense of excitement among architects and urban planners that the global city of the future is an African city, in the same way, perhaps, that the American city was definitive of the 20th century, and A...

So today is #worldadoptionday! While this day wouldn't have really meant much to me 4 or so years ago it is now a day I celebrate with my friends who have gone down the beautiful road of adoption and welcomed the most delightful little children into their lives.
They will tell me time and time again that adopting was one of the best things they have ever done. That their children are the most perfect fit for them and that their lives are fuller than they have ever been because of the wonderful gift that adoption is.
I look at their growing families and I feel so proud to know them, not because they should feel any different to a normal family with biological blood between them, but because I have seen them overcome challenges and face hurdles that we haven't needed to. On top of the hard work it takes to raise kids they have to deal with admin and paperwork and hours spent in courts. They have really gone the extra mile when it comes to forming/creating/growing the families they have.
My friends Sarah and Mike who adopted Phoenix 4 years ago are a true inspiration to us everyday. They went on to adopt Tatum almost 2 years ago and watching them fall in love with their children and take parenthood by the horns has been an amazing thing to witness. So often I find myself learning from these friends because they seem to have a deeper understanding of the true gift of parenthood. While I always realize how blessed I am, I realize they may offer a different perspective to our journey as parents.
My other friend who I can't boast enough about is my lovely friend Jules who writes a beautiful blog called Heart Mama Blog. Her and her husband Ryan began their adoption journey about 5 years ago and adopted their first son Ilan soon after. Since then they have added two more delicious babies to the mix, Kira and Judah who are only a few months apart!!
This chick is just incredible. Her capacity for her growing family is out of this world. Never mind the physical demands of raising three kids under 4, her heart capacity has simply expanded to accommodate the ever-growing love she has for her children. It's just too precious to see.
My friend Jane whose adoptive daughter Rachel is also in Ilan and Noah's class is another example of a love and connection made possible through adoption. Jane and her husband Mike adopted Rachel who is now 4 and have since had their own biological child Emma. This for me is also one of the most precious sides of adoption: Seeing two sisters of a different race, form an inseparable bond. They are SISTERS through and through in every sense of the word.
It really has shown me first hand how blood and race mean nothing when it comes to loving a child like your own. In fact their bond goes beyond biology and science, it's a spiritual connection made possible by God, the one whose very blood was shed for us! At the end of the day, its one person's blood that truly matters, Jesus himself. And his blood runs through all of us.
There are many other people whose stories i could share here too (Wendy and David Chong, Shawn and Nina, Sharryn and Sean and Ryan and Kate) and whose lives have been a true inspiration to me, not only as a mom but as someone who is always striving to seek Gods voice in my everyday life. I love that all these couples started off at the very same place: hearing God talking to them aboutHis plans for their lives.
So lets salute these people today, who have chosen to grow or expand their families this way, these couples who have brought awareness to us around the subject of adoption with grace and humility. Friends who have inspired us, coached us, encouraged us, showed the way, ignited a flame. Friends who have shown us first hand what it's all about.
Lets salute these people on #worldadoption day and every day after that.
If any of you would like to read more about Julie and Ryans's story go check out her blog and dig in.
Jules started this blog to connect with other adoptive moms and give them a place to share and feel like they were part of the mom community. She shares candidly her experiences of raising three children and LOVES talking to people who may be thinking of going down the very exciting road. So If you know anyone who is looking into adoption, this is the girl you want to speak to!
Here's her Facebook page to stay up to date with all things parenting and adoption.

Antonio Brown Patriots Rumors Swirl After NFL Star Shares Cryptic Post
By Dan Cancian On 7/9/20 at 7:42 AM EDT
Sports NFL New England Patriots Antonio Brown
The NFL season may be only two months away, but Antonio Brown has seemingly not given up hopes of returning to football.
On Wednesday, the star wideout shared a picture of him wearing the New England Patriots uniform, the latest entry in an ever-growing folder of cryptic social media posts Brown has shared as he looks to find a way back into the NFL.
Aside from a siren emoji, the receiver did not add a caption to the picture to elaborate on his feelings. While guessing Brown's intentions is a difficult exercise at the best of times, the picture was interpreted as yet another indication the former Central Michigan alumnus aims to return to professional football after his personal life descended into chaos last season.
🚨
A post shared by AB (@ab) on Jul 8, 2020 at 12:57pm PDT
Brown's nine-year spell with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the franchise that had drafted him in 2010, came to an end at the end of the 2018 season, when he demanded to leave Pittsburgh after his relationship with the franchise deteriorated beyond repair.

Washington Redskins Name Change: Which Alternatives Have Been Suggested?
The Steelers traded the seven-time Pro Bowl selection to Oakland in March last year, but Brown's stint with the Raiders was as short as it was disastrous.
missed most of training camp with frostbite on his feet, incurred after not wearing the appropriate footwear in a cryotherapy chamber.
He subsequently threatened to quit football if the NFL didn't allow him to wear the same helmet he's used for the last 10 years, before filing two grievances against the league.
Shortly before the start of last season, Brown got into a heated confrontation with general manager Mike Mayock after being fined for conduct detrimental to the team.
The Raiders subsequently suspended Brown, before naming in the team for the season opener against the Denver Broncos and ultimately released him a few days later.
Brown signed for the Patriots on September 9, but his adventure in New England lasted just two weeks, with the six-time Super Bowl winners cutting ties with him after he was accused of sexual assault by his former personal trainer Britney Taylor.
The wideout has since been accused of sexual misconduct by a different woman and had the police called on him after a domestic dispute with the mother of his children.
Last month, Brown pleaded no contest after in January he was charged with felony burglary with battery, burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and criminal mischief after attacking a moving truck driver outside his home in Hollywood, Florida.
While Brown will not face jail, he will be on probation for two years. Additionally, the NFL's investigation into his sexual assault and rape allegations remain ongoing, meaning that he may not be cleared to play even should he sign a deal with one of the 32 franchises.
Nevertheless Brown, who will turn 32 on Friday, has been busy trying to rebuild bridges with the NFL, Patriots owner Robert Kraft and the Steelers and their quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
He has also been actively working out with a host of different NFL quarterbacks.
In April he was spotted training with Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown and the following month he worked out with Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins.
Last week, meanwhile, Brown shared a video of himself on the field with Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
Speaking to Seattle-based radio 950 KJR last week, NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo indicated Brown had shown an interest in playing for the Seahawks this season.
"I spoke to someone close to Antonio Brown and that person said, 'All I know is he wants to go to Seattle,'" he explained.
"That's what I was told from someone close to him, that he wants to go to Seattle but they don't know if it's going to wind up happening."
Brown has also expressed his desire to be reunited with Tom Brady, with whom he played just one game for the Patriots last season, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians ruled out the possibility of the receiver joining Brady in Florida.
"It's not going to happen," Arians said in April. "There's no room. It's just not going to happen. It's just a not a fit here. I just know him and it's not a fit in our locker room."

Before SMG, moviegoers needed to choose a restaurant near the theater. Locating a parking space, a possible wait. Then drive to the theater, find a parking space and buy your ticket.
Should you arrive early you can start your meal in one room and take it to take it to your seats.
Or inside at the well stocked bar ,where you can watch sports as you wait.
I am large man 6 4 and found the seats usually comfortable.
The wait staff will swipe your card and open a tab for you. Press the button and they will bring anything from Milk Duds to a Long Island Iced Tea. The food quality is fair to good, SMG menu is limited. From salads,to burgers to pizza. The meals are precooked so the wait time is very short and patrons receive hot meals.
Soft Drinks and Popcorn are refilled at a push of a button. We suspect the pizza was frozen, however when we received it was hot.
Meal prices averaged $12.00. When you consider a large popcorn and two large drinks is usually $13 at area theaters The price isn't bad. If there was a take away at SMG, it was sound leakage, some theaters experience some sound leakage, but this was pronounced as we were sitting in the very last row. Not only could we hear the explosions we could feel them.
Studio Movie Grill is based in Dallas Texas. While I'm not sure if the theater dining experience concept began in Texas, it is the home of many theater dining chains (The Rocklin location is the second theater in California) Notably the Austin based, Alamo Drafthouse chain which has expanded nationwide, with a theater opening this fall in San Francisco.
Studio Movie Grill is a game changer for the region. Only three out of eleven people I spoke to were from Placer Country.

Q: Who executes first after fork() in Linux: parent or the child? I know that it can be either of these. But I always see that the parent executes first on my LINUX terminal.

*

*I used the same code on two different machine, one use kali Linux and the other Ubuntu , I got the same result.

*I searched for that and I got nothing.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<unistd.h>
#include<sys/wait.h>

int main(){
    int id = fork();
    if(id == -1) {
        printf("error!");
        return 1;
        }

    if(id == 0){
        printf("I'm the child\n");
        printf("child\n");
        return 2;
    }else{
        printf("I'm the parent\n");
        wait(NULL);
        printf("child has terminated\n");
        return 3;
    }
   return 0;

Sobre mimThis is really out of date now, just barely able to keep up with adding new and previously acquired books. I track the bookstores I have visited on "my locals" now.
Not so new now to LibraryThing, but have still been spending a lot of time here. Lifelong love of books, and even owned a little bookstore for a short time in an experiment in private enterprise. Some day, when I grow up, I may do it again, but not when I need to depend on it as a source of income, but rather as a self-sufficient and self-sustaining hobby.

Sobre a minha bibliotecaMy library is not fully input into LibraryThing yet, so the titles I have listed are not yet representative of my total collection.
It seems my wishlist is growing faster than entries for my library. Consolidating my numerous wishlists is working, I sorted by wishlist and then printed it out so I have a hardcopy of my wishlist to take with me as I make the rounds of bookstores across the country. My job has me traveling quite a bit, and everywhere I go I try to hit a used bookstore or two (or three or four) if time permits.

China foreign minister rejects hacking accusations
March 16, 2013 By Northwest Asian Weekly
Yang Jiechi
By Christopher Bodeen
BEIJING (AP) — China's foreign minister on Saturday, March 9 rejected accusations that the country's military was behind massive hacking attacks on the United States and other foreign targets and called for more international cooperation in policing the Internet.
Yang Jiechi is the highest-level Chinese official to comment on the claims made in a widely endorsed report last month by U.S. cybersecurity firm Mandiant, which traced hacking attacks to a Chinese military unit based in Shanghai.
Although he did not address specific accusations, Yang described the claims as a politically motivated smear campaign.
"Anyone who tries to fabricate or piece together a sensational story to serve their political motive will not be able to blacken the name of others or whitewash themselves," Yang told reporters at an annual news conference held on the sidelines of the national legislature's annual session. "We hope the relevant parties will stop irresponsible attacks or accusations."
China's Defense Ministry has also poured scorn on the accusations and denied ever supporting hacking attacks. It issued its own counter-claims last month, saying that overseas computer hackers targeted two of its websites at an average of 144,000 times per month last year, with almost two-thirds of the attacks originating in the United States.
Mandiant's report said that Chinese military-backed cyberspies infiltrated overseas networks and stole massive amounts of data from U.S. companies and other entities. The report was widely praised by cybersecurity professionals interviewed by The Associated Press, who said it provided the most detailed picture yet of China's state-sponsored hacking efforts.
Yang said that as a major target for hacking attacks, China supports international regulations under the United Nations to keep the Internet peaceful, free, and secure. Such initiatives have been met with a cool reception from the United States and other nations, largely because of China's reputation for maintaining the world's most thorough and sophisticated Internet censorship regimes.
In addition to patrolling the domestic Internet for signs of dissent, China blocks global websites, such as Facebook and Twitter, that it sees as providing a platform for organizing activities against the ruling Communist Party.
"We oppose turning cyberspace into a new battlefield or using the Internet as a new tool to interfere in other countries' internal affairs," Yang said. (end)

Fifteen EMD export locomotives destined for Egypt (plus one for France) will be passing through in the near future. This video shows them rolling through Guelph, Ontario fresh from the factory on Sunday.
Word has it they will probably pass through New Brunswick on Tuesday or Wednesday. They will pick up the six export locos that have been stored at IRSI in Moncton and then proceed to Halifax to be loaded onto a ship.
