Review of Starcrash
Scifi Comments Off on Review of Starcrash
Starcrash seems to be something written by an immature Star Wars fanboy with 1,200 bucks and a couple of cameras. It somehow manages to have some measly starpower in a movie that is so wrought with poor special effects, low production values, and a convoluted plot born from the orifices of Alien: Ressurection. Starcrash is a terribly ill-conceived film, so it's no wonder it has established a steady cult following decades after its release. A group of starfighters are sent out to destroy the evil Count Zarth Arn and stop whatever bullshit he's up to. They fail miserably, but a survivor manages to meet up with a team of silly rogue-types and they ressurect the mission to take down the Count for good.
The plot is thin as 1% milk, and I can't even say it has a huge charming appeal. But it is terrible, and for cult film fans, that could be the only requirement. Starcrash is the poor man's Star Wars, 2 years after Star Wars became a thing. there were many of them around that time, Starcrash is the one most teetering between total hilarity and sheer awfulness.
Caroline Munro may not be a household name, but who cares. Her skimpy unproductive space fighting suit the "space-kini" and her overall badassery is enough to watch this thing three times over.
Starcrash is an awful awful movie but it does sort of sum up the entirety of late 70's action science-fiction flicks without all the overt presumptions following Star Wars.
Zarth Arn: By sunset I'll be the new emperor. And I'll be the master of the whole universe!
L: Circuits don't fail me now!
Emperor of the Galaxy: For the space of three minutes, every molecule on this planet will be immobilized. But after the third minute, the green ray loses it's power. Time will flow once more and everything will explode.
An appreciation for painful ear-splitting dialogue
The producers and studio executives told director Luigi Cozzi to make the film as much like Star Wars as physically possible without breaking legalities
There is known stateside DVD release of Starcrash.
Producers were extremely hesitant to show Starcrash to music composer John Barry fearing he will abandon the project
All of Christopher Plummer's shots for the Emperor were done in a single day
Robots dissolve as they die
The original attention for Caroline Munro was to have her in the scantily clad space-kini for the entirety of the film, but producers feared not getting a pass in American markets
Sometimes, a beautiful model in space underwear isn't enough to salvage a terrible movie

Review of Repo Man
Scifi Comments Off on Review of Repo Man
This is one ridiculously bizarre film. Repo Man stars Emilio Estevez is a troubled comically cliche punk rock heathen. Yet, after a series of events, he finds himself driving to drop off something that you wouldn't believe it if I told you items being carried in his trunk. The film really has two parts. The first is just a charming harmless little comedy flick. the second is a driveling borderline nonsensical series of science-fiction flair. Repo Man is dated and very much focused in its, umm, focus, but it is too over-the-top to pass up.
Emilio Estevez of The Breakfast Club fame is slowly turned insane by aliens. Yes, aliens. Sorry for the spoiler, but I couldn't hold that back.
Repo Man doesn't have much to say about life, reality, what have you, but it is just too ludicrous to not be watched at least once in passing. the dialogue is almost self-parody of the era, and if the trailer didn't clarify anything for you, the film sure as hell won't.
Debbi: Duke, let's go do some crimes.
Duke: Yeah. Let's go get sushi and not pay.
Duke: You say our names, we're going to have to kill all these people, Archie.
Bud: Look at those assholes, ordinary fucking people. I hate 'em.
A Netflix account, because you ain't going to find this bitch any other way.
You can see graffiti for the punk band The Circle Jerks, the same band that plays later in the film
The photo of aliens depicted in the film is actually condoms filled with water
Repo men have it hard and obtain greater success in proportion to the economy's failure
If you own an air freshener business, endorse a movie about cars
Aliens are wimps if you own a car or have even a few collective brain cells
For all the oddities and bizarre encounters and stupidly funny acting by Emilio Estevez and some other one shot characters, Repo Man is a terrible average movie.

Review of Baby Snakes
Documentary Comments Off on Review of Baby Snakes
Before 2003, baby Snakes was not an easy film to get a hold of. Frank Zappa had over 3 hours of film, some from backstage concerts, others short animation scenes, some interview segments, and some just pure absurd mayhem. The film Baby Snakes was long, meandering, and lacked a definitive plot. These all are typical attributes of a great cult film, which Baby Snakes has remained since its inception in 1979. Though Frank Zappa is dead, this wild film is a testament to his legacy as one of the wildest weirdest icons in music history. Part documentary, part concert film, part cartoon, Baby Snakes is a spectacle of film-making that is polarizing and odd beyond comprehension.
If you want to know anything about Frank Zappa, or are already a fan of Frank Zappa, that is enough of a reason to watch. To a greater extent, if you are in need of a film that you don't have to get up and replay manually ever hour during extended hallucinogenic mushroom sessions, this one will do just fine.
Baby Snakes is a film capstone to Frank Zappa's prime. If that does not intrigue you, move along please, nothing to see here.
Frank Zappa: Hey, this is Halloween, we don't fuck around!
Frank Zappa: God make three mistakes. First was the man, second was the wo-man. third was the poodle. He meant to make a German Shepard but he fucked up.
Hallucinogens. otherwise, this film is total dreck.
The film took years to find any sort of dsitribution, constantly being rejected. Zappa thought he would cut the film from 3 1/2 hours to 90 minutes, but still no distribution. he eventually distributed the film himself and screened it in New York, where it earned a modest profit and went on to obtain a cult status.
The film founds its first release 25 years after its debut in 2003.
With Frank Zappa, anything is possible. Literally. No, literally, anything- the guy's a God
Go figure- over 3 hours of Frank Zappa content and you get high just by watching
It's not a good film for anyone who isn't a diehard Frank Zappa fan, and for that, it will always remain a cult film. The rating is a reflection of its length, proving that anything, yes, even dancing monkeys, can be boring after 3 hours

Review of Night of the Comet
Drama Comments Off on Review of Night of the Comet
1984 is wholly drowning in science-fiction oddities. Some of them fail miserably and others are quaint and retreaded, though sort of intriguing. Night of the Comet is unabashedly open to taking in influences from many mediums and genres, sort of crafting a romance story around a science-fiction tale, capping it with humor and drama alike. Night of the Comet isn't particuarly good, but for what it does, you come to appreciation the seamlessness of making so many types of movies in one and having it turn less into a hodge podge mess and something not entirely pretentious. Night of the Comet is quiet for all its exaggerated tendencies, and the film comes and goes without making a huge splash, but a quiet simmer that will stick for some time. Like a slow kiss and not meaningless mediocre sex, Night of the Comet is pretty and interesting, and for sci-fi in the 80's, that's about as modest as it gets.
Night of the Comet does a lot right, and doesn't focus on one thing to drive the characters through their silly story.
The film's charming elements are helped further by a story that actually sort of makes sense, something akin to a god-like impossibility in mid-80's science-fiction realm.
Willy: You wouldn't believe what we want from you. In your worst nightmare you wouldn't believe.
Regina Belmont: C'mon Hector, the MAC-10 submachine gun was practically designed for housewives.
A nice cup of coffee and your viewing glasses, this contradicts the absurdity with a little bit of wholesome goodness
The original working title for the film was Teenage Mutant Horror Comet Zombies.
The Shopping Mall featured in Night of the Comet was the Sherman Oaks Galleria. The Galleria has been used for several movies including Terminator and Fast Times at Ridegmont High.
If famed gruesome horror/children's film director Robert Rodriguez likes something, it's probably good
Malls are creepy when empty
If Night of the Comet does something right, they remind you that Dawn of the Dead is a good movie
Unlike many cult films, Night of the Comet is a legitimate engrossing movie. it takes influences from many different sources, yet on its own, its a nice mix of many different things that work well together, as opposed to a blender of random items that make a chunky gross brown smoothie.

Review of This is Spinal Tap
Documentary Comments Off on Review of This is Spinal Tap
This is Spinal Tap is just as realistic of a portrayal as many legitimate documentaries, and yet this mockumentary is just about as fake as it gets. Confused? The premise is simple: create a fake documentary about a fake band and cover real topics such as band break-ups, band mismanagement, and stereos that go up to 11. This is Spinal Tap is only as real as you make it. Helmed by the tantalizingly weird Rob Reiner, the film documents a fake reality in a world where the fake is the real. It's also intensely enthralling, and has something to say about 80's music culture without getting all pretentious on us.
As a music fan, this is Spinal Tap is NOT to be missed. It's humor is original, defining, and the film encapsulates a certain era better than any legitimate documentary ever could. Maybe.
The stories being told aren't directly real, but there is a sort of odd realness and crudeness to the nature of the film. Over the jokes and comedy effects, you have a film that uses the design of human nature to say something about itself without getting loaded up with documentarian tripe.
Mick Shrimpton: As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.
Nigel Tufnel: It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.
Derek Smalls: We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.
A stereo playing the movie's volume unnecessarily loud is a necessity. Big hair. If you don't have big hair, a mullet wig will do. Knowledge that you are watching the best thing ever is also standard, though that goes without saying.
The actors are legitimate musicians, and performed on the Spinal Tap album
Spinal Tap named their fictitious album "The Black Album," and made the cover entirely black. 6 years later came Metallica's self-titled black album, whether as an homage or unrelated.
Much of the film was improv'd
Drummers and and will just randomly explode. Always have a back-up drummer on speed dial
There have been stereos made that dial to 11, as a direct homage to the film.
This movie is not a real documentary, so don't look dumb not laughing like Ossy Osbourne when first viewing it, thinking it is a real documentary
After contemplating the film, you come to realize that it isn't necessarily true in a linear sense, and it isn't exactly littered in high production values, but it is too smart for its own good and wraps up a time and a place with such specific elegance. It also remains purely entertaining for those in the know- the cult film status, I suppose.

Home India Do not want politics to shift to courts: Supreme Court
Do not want politics to shift to courts: Supreme Court
"We do not want politics to shift to the courts," the Supreme Court observed while hearing arguments on whether a political party can file and pursue a public interest litigation (PIL).
indiatoday.intoday.in
"The apprehension is that this will shift politics to the courts. We do not want this. We do not want politics to shift to the courts," a bench of Justices Madan B Lokur and N V Ramana said. The apex court's observation came after advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for NGO 'Swaraj Abhiyan' which has filed a PIL on the plight of farmers in 12 drought-hit states, said if a political party files a petition in public interest, the courts can hear it. The issue cropped up after Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi had told the bench that the NGO has made its intention clear to continue as a wing of a political party, if not a political party itself, and it should not be associated with this PIL.
During the arguments today, Rohatgi said the application filed by 'Swaraj India' before the Election Commission (EC) for registration as a political party was pending. "They (petitioner) have already formed a political party.
I will show what this political party does outside the court," he said, adding "just because they (Swaraj India) are not yet registered, does not mean they are not a political party". "If anyone is using court proceedings for political gain, then there is a political motive," Rohatgi said.
Bhushan, however, said 'Swaraj Abhiyan' and 'Swaraj India' were separate entities and the former is not a political party. "The point is whether the issue raised by a political party raises an issue of public interest. Swaraj Abhiyan has no political interest," he said, adding "if a political party files a petition which raises an issue of public interest and does not intend to gain any political mileage out of it, the courts should hear it".
The bench then asked Bhushan "how can the court separate it in parts, that this is for public interest and this is for interest of the political party?"
Responding to this, Bhushan said every act of a political party, if it is for public interest, should be appreciated and if it is not for public interest, courts can dismiss the plea. The bench said a political party has a platform like Parliament or the state assembly where it can raise its voice on a issue. To this, Bhushan said "merely because political party has a platform, it should not be stopped from doing it. Political parties should be encouraged for pursuing a PIL which is for public interest".
When the bench said that a political party can raise an issue in Parliament or assembly, he said they may not get redressal of their grievances there. "If it (political party) uses court's platform to settle political scores, the court could see it," he said while referring to the issue of demonetization raised by individuals as well as political parties. However, the bench said since the issue of registration of 'Swaraj India' as political party was pending before the EC, it would wait for the poll panel's decision in the matter.
During the hearing, Rohatgi placed before the bench the minutes of November 9 meeting held under the chairmanship of the Secretary, Department of Food and Public Distribution, in which issue of framing of rules under the National Food Security Act was discussed. The bench asked the Centre that constitution of state food commissions and the eligibility criteria of its members should be as per prescribed provisions of the National Food Security Act.
The apex court fixed the matter for further hearing on January 18 next year. Earlier, the court had asked the Centre to release all outstanding and necessary funds for MNREGA scheme to the states and directed it to pay compensation for delayed wages to the farmers in drought-affected areas. The PIL has alleged that parts of 12 states — Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, Haryana and Chhattisgarh — were hit by drought and the authorities were not providing adequate relief.
The petitioners had claimed before court that directions given by the apex court in this matter were not complied with by the states.

Welcome to the Depot Nurse Orientation Website!
This website is to help supplement what you will be learning on orientation day. We know there is limited time on orientation day, so this website was made for our nurse volunteers to be more readily prepared for the week of fun at camp! In no means do we expect you to know everything on this website, but please feel free to look around and learn as much as you can before you get to camp. It will definitely be helpful to you prior to your arrival at camp. Thanks and have fun exploring!
Many of our campers come to camp with an EpiPen. An EpiPen is used in the emergency treatment of an anaphylactic reaction. The cabin leaders are responsible for carrying the campers' EpiPens and other emergency medication to each program and activity they attend after collaboration with the cabin nurse. We also have extra EpiPens in the Depot in the Cor Cart and Jump bag. As nurses, we have the ability to draw up our own epinephrine and administer it that way. Please watch the below video to learn how to use an EpiPen in case one of your campers need it.
Another common emergency medication that our campers are to keep near them if needed is Diastat. Diastat is a rectal gel form of diazepam that is used to treat episodes of increased seizures. The order will typically say specific information of when to administer the medication (ex: after 5 minutes of seizure activity).
An ACE is an antegrade continence enema. Campers who have an ACE have a small opening on their abdomen that opens into the colon. A catheter is inserted into this opening and fluid is infused into the bowel to help produce a bowel movement. It is very similar to a regular enema except this procedure allows the camper to be more independent and have easier access to their bowels! Many of the campers are independent with this procedure, but may need some assistance. Also, once the fluid is in the bowel, the camper will most likely sit for 30 to 90 minutes until they produce a bowel movement. Below is a great video of a girl that has an ACE. She will show you how it typically works.
A Mitrofanoff is a small stoma in the abdomen created to pass a catheter through to drain urine. This procedure avoids the need to wear a urostomy pouch over the stoma. Many of our campers are independent on performing this procedure, but they often need reminders to do it. Typically, mitrofanoffs need to be drained every 4 hours and a little less often during the night.
Mitrofanoffs may need a "washout". This procedure is done every so often to clear any debris that may be blocking urine from exiting through the catheter.
Most of us already know what a urinary catheter is and what it does, but it may have been a while since you have done the procedure! Many of our campers that use this procedure are straight cathed and then the catheter is removed. We have some campers that sleep with a catheter so they do not have to wake up to be straight cathed. Below are videos of the proper technique for inserting a urinary catheter. The procedure is the same for straight cathing except that the catheter is removed once the urine is drained.
Our campers may be independent emptying the bags, but usually need help if they have to change the bag. Below is a video of how to change an ostomy bag. The steps/process can change depending on personal preference and different brands.
There are many different classifications of seizures. The video below will briefly explain the different types of seizures. We have seen all types of seizures at camp and some of our campers have multiple seizures a day, regularly. Treatment varies depending on the individual and their seizure disorder. Each camper with a seizure disorder will have a Seizure Action Plan from the doctor that will describe what needs to be done when they have a seizure. You will have a chance to review your camper's Seizure Action Plans when you get to camp. You can make a copy of it and have it with you for reference.
Perineal care: many of these campers have a lack of sensation; periodic checking for accidents is important to prevent skin breakdown/pressure ulcers.
Monitor O2 saturation on Sickle Cell campers upon arrival and as needed.
Campers with cancer may be immunocompromised so promote good hygiene to campers, staff, and volunteers.
Cover and protect ports/PICCS for boating and bathing.
Keep campers out of extreme temperatures (hot/cold). Avoid rain.
Campers should stay well hydrated, increase fluids while at camp.
Campers are at increased risk for sunburn-provide shade, sunblock, and hats.
Campers with cancer may have decreased immune systems so promote good hygiene to campers, staff, and volunteers.
Peritoneal Dialysis campers, protect catheter.
Campers with transplants may be immunocompromised so promote good hygiene to campers, staff, and volunteers.
Campers with transplants may have decreased immune systems so promote good hygiene to campers, staff, and volunteers.

ENGIE acquires Vol-V Biomasse and becomes France's leading biomethane producer
By ENGIE - 26 February 2019 - 14:02
The alliance between ENGIE and VOL-V Biomasse will bolster the sector's development across the region.
Vol-V Biomasse was founded in 2009 and is based in Rennes and Rouen. It operates along the entire biomethane value chain: origination, development, construction monitoring and operation. It is currently made up of seven units that are in operation and another three that are in the process of being built.
With this acquisition, ENGIE now has a portfolio of nearly 80 projects, thus supporting its aim of producing 5 TWh/year of biomethane by 2030.
ENGIE has committed to investing €800 million over the next five years and €2 billion by 2030 in developing its biomethane projects with farmers. ENGIE wants to support the sector's industrialisation to reduce costs and thereby achieve cost parity with natural gas.
"We are extremely proud to welcome VoL-V Biomasse's employees to our Group", said Isabelle Kocher, ENGIE's CEO. "Biomethane is an essential component of France's future energy mix. It is an excellent new sector that will create value and jobs in France".
Through this acquisition, ENGIE confirms its position as one of France's leading renewable energy companies – more than 70% of the Group's energy mix is made up of green energies (figures published at the end of December 2018):
Leading producer of solar power with more than 1200 MWc of raw power (target is 2.2 GWc for 2021),
Leading producer of onshore wind power with 2100 MW of installed capacity (target is 3 GW by 2021)
Leading producer of alternative hydroelectric power with 3900 MW of installed capacity.

Izba wytrzeźwień – placówka klasyfikowana niekiedy jako zakład administracyjny szczególnego rodzaju, wspomagająca działanie służb porządku publicznego, w której doprowadzane osoby będące w stanie nietrzeźwości mogą być umieszczane na czas niezbędny do wytrzeźwienia.

Instytucja izby wytrzeźwień powstała w Polsce w maju 1956 r. Początkowo były one uruchamiane przez miejskie rady narodowe. Od 1999 r. izby wytrzeźwień mogą być prowadzone przez organy samorządu terytorialnego w miastach liczących ponad 50 000 mieszkańców i organy powiatu.

Konstrukcja prawna
Podstawy prawne działania izb wytrzeźwień zawarte są w następujących aktach prawnych:
 Ustawa z dnia 26 października 1982 roku o wychowaniu w trzeźwości i przeciwdziałaniu alkoholizmowi ().
 Rozporządzenie Ministra Zdrowia z dnia 8 grudnia 2014 roku w sprawie izb wytrzeźwień i placówek wskazanych lub utworzonych przez jednostkę samorządu terytorialnego ().
 Statut izby wytrzeźwień, regulowany odpowiednią uchwałą właściwego samorządu.

Konstrukcja prawna izby zawiera liczne sprzeczności zarówno wewnętrzne jak i z innymi przepisami prawa, stanowiąc swego rodzaju archaizm prawny. Wyłączona jest spod przepisów ustawy o działalności leczniczej oraz przepisów o pomocy społecznej, a nie stanowiąc ani podmiotu wykonującego działalność leczniczą ani całodobowej jednostki organizacyjnej pomocy społecznej wyłączona jest w konsekwencji również spod przepisów ustawy o ochronie zdrowia psychicznego. Pomimo to:
 osobie doprowadzonej do niej podaje się, jeżeli wymaga tego jej stan zdrowia, produkty lecznicze, co stanowi działalność leczniczą
 podlega obowiązkowi zatrudniania osób wykonujących zawody medyczne, który z zasady dotyczy wyłącznie podmiotów wykonujących działalność leczniczą lub całodobowych jednostek organizacyjnych pomocy społecznej
 podlega obowiązkowi prowadzenia dokumentacji medycznej, już z samej swojej definicji związanej z działalnością leczniczą
 ma obowiązek posiadać gabinet diagnostyczno-zabiegowy, czyli komórkę wprost objętą ustawą o działalności leczniczej,
 ponadto pod pewnymi warunkami może być w niej prowadzona detoksykacja, jeżeli izba wytrzeźwień posiada odpowiednie pomieszczenie, urządzenia, wyposażenie i wykwalifikowany personel, co jest działalnością ściśle leczniczą, w dodatku zastrzeżoną dla niektórych tylko podmiotów leczniczych, objętych reżimem ustawy o ochronie zdrowia psychicznego.
 sprawuje całodobową opiekę nad osobami w stanie nietrzeźwości, znajdują się w okolicznościach zagrażających ich życiu lub zdrowiu, udzielając im świadczeń higienicznych i sanitarnych oraz pierwszej pomocy sanitarnej w nagłych przypadkach, co stanowi działalność z zakresu pomocy społecznej
 może stosować zatrzymanie i przymus bezpośredni (na przykład przypięcie do łóżka lub zapięcie w kaftan bezpieczeństwa).

Rodzi to liczne i daleko idące konsekwencje oznaczające, iż izba wytrzeźwień:
 stanowi jedyny w Polsce typ instytucji, który pomimo faktycznego całodobowego i stacjonarnego udzielania określonych świadczeń zdrowotnych stanowiących w innych sytuacjach działalność leczniczą (i to zastrzeżoną dla wybranych tylko podmiotów leczniczych), udzielania całodobowych usług opiekuńczych objętych w innych sytuacjach przepisami o pomocy społecznej, a także zatrudniania osób wykonujących zawody medyczne oraz obowiązku prowadzenia dokumentacji medycznej, nie ma statusu podmiotu wykonującego działalność leczniczą ani jednostki organizacyjnej pomocy społecznej, toteż jej działalność lecznicza i opiekuńcza oraz gospodarka lekami nie podlegają zupełnie kontroli:
 wojewody (sprawuje on jedynie nadzór nad zgodnością z prawem aktów prawa gminnego dotyczących izby),
 Ministra Zdrowia (istnieje jedynie obowiązek przedłożenia mu raz w roku sprawozdania, które nie podlega ocenie lub weryfikacji)
 Krajowego Centrum Przeciwdziałania Uzależnieniom,
 Państwowej Inspekcji Farmaceutycznej,
 Rzecznika Praw Pacjenta,
 konsultantów wojewódzkich i krajowych w ochronie zdrowia;
 Ministra Rodziny i Polityki Społecznej
 sądu rejonowego w oparciu o ustawę o wychowaniu w trzeźwości, na zasadach takich samych jak w przypadku kontroli legalności i zasadności skierowania i przebywania osoby przymusowo przebywającej w zakładzie leczniczym lub domu pomocy społecznej (możliwa jest jedynie kontrola następcza sądu wskutek zażalenia),
 sądu opiekuńczego w oparciu o ustawę o ochronie zdrowia psychicznego, na zasadach takich samych jak w przypadku kontroli legalności i zasadności skierowania i przebywania osoby przymusowo przebywającej w zakładzie leczniczym lub domu pomocy społecznej
 nadzorowi Państwowej Inspekcji Sanitarnej podlega natomiast w porównaniu do podmiotów wykonujących działalność leczniczą oraz jednostek organizacyjnych pomocy społecznej w ograniczonym tylko zakresie.
 nie będąc podmiotem leczniczym nie może udzielać zamówienia podwykonawstwa praktyce zawodowej lekarza lub pielęgniarki wykonywanej wyłącznie w podmiocie leczniczym, gdyż praktyka taka, jak samo określenie jej typu wskazuje, uprawniona jest wyłącznie do świadczenia usług w charakterze podwykonawcy na rzecz podmiotu leczniczego, niemniej pomimo rzekomo nieleczniczego charakteru działalności izby, pozaprawny proceder polegający na udzielaniu przez izbę wytrzeźwień zamówienia podwykonawstwa usług praktyce zawodowej lekarza lub pielęgniarki wykonywanej wyłącznie w podmiocie leczniczym jest powszechny i działalność praktyki podlega wówczas nadzorowi właściwego organu samorządu zawodowego, natomiast nie wiadomo:
czy pokrywa ją obowiązkowa polisa OC praktyki,
czy zwolniona jest z podatku od towarów i usług,
na jakich zasadach ponoszona jest wówczas ewentualna odpowiedzialność cywilna, gdyż odpowiednie przepisy ustawy o działalności leczniczej przewidujące solidarną odpowiedzialność udzielającego i przyjmującego zamówienie nie mają zastosowania.
 nie stanowi też jednostki Policji ani Służby Więziennej, toteż nie podlega nadzorowi tych służb, a przyjęta do niej osoba nie może korzystać ze środków ochrony praw zawartych w ustawie o Policji, ustawie o Służbie Więziennej, kodeksie karnym wykonawczym, ponadto pobytu w niej nie zalicza się na poczet ewentualnej kary za wykroczenie lub przestępstwo.

W praktyce sytuacja ta jest zatem równoznaczna z brakiem jakiegokolwiek nadzoru merytorycznego nad tymi placówkami.

Działalność
Pobyt w izbie wytrzeźwień opłaca osoba w niej zatrzymana (jest to zwykle znaczna kwota; wyjątkowo od 16 stycznia do 31 grudnia 2013 opłat nie pobierano).

Zgodnie z ustawą, do jej zadań należy:
 udzielanie osobom w stanie nietrzeźwości świadczeń higienicznych i sanitarnych,
 udzielanie osobom w stanie nietrzeźwości pierwszej pomocy sanitarnej w nagłych przypadkach,
 przyjmowanie osób w stanie nietrzeźwości, które swoim zachowaniem dają powód do zgorszenia w miejscu publicznym lub w zakładzie pracy, znajdują się w okolicznościach zagrażających ich życiu lub zdrowiu albo zagrażają życiu lub zdrowiu innych osób,
 informowanie o szkodliwości nadużywania alkoholu,
 zachęcanie i motywowanie do podjęcia leczenia odwykowego

How Long Does It Really Take to Think a Thought?
Neuron characteristics – The width of the neuron is important. Signals are carried more quickly in neurons with larger diameters than those that are narrower – a courier will generally travel faster on wide multi-lane highways than on narrow country roads. Nerve signals jump between the exposed areas between myelin sheathes. Neuron image via www.shutterstock.com How much myelination a neuron has is also important. Some nerve cells have myelin cells that wrap around the neuron to provide a type of insulation sheath. The myelin sheath isn't completely continuous along a neuron; there are small gaps in which the nerve cell is exposed. Nerve signals effectively jump from exposed section to exposed section instead of traveling the full extent of the neuronal surface. So signals move much faster in neurons that have myelin sheaths than in neurons that don't. The message will get to New York sooner if it passes from cellphone tower to cellphone tower than if the courier drives the message along each and every inch of the road. In the human context, the signals carried by the large-diameter, myelinated neurons that link the spinal cord to the muscles can travel at speeds ranging from 70-120 miles per second (m/s) (156-270 miles per hour[mph]), while signals traveling along the same paths carried by the small-diameter, unmyelinated fibers of the pain receptors travel at speeds ranging from 0.5-2 m/s (1.1-4.4 mph). That's quite a difference!

Aamir on intolerance: BJP critical, Congress backs; film fraternity split
Wednesday, November 25th, 2015 at 9:46 AM
New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan on Tuesday found himself in the centre of a political storm over his remarks on intolerance, with the BJP sharply criticising him and the Congress stoutly defending him. The actor-producer's candid remarks at an awards event in New Delhi the previous day set Twitter abuzz and left the film fraternity divided.
Aamir, 50, had said: "For the last six to eight months, there has been a growing despondency I would say. Kiran (wife Kiran Rao) and I have lived all our life in India. When I sit at home and talk to Kiran, for the first time she said, 'Should we move out of India?' Now that's a very disastrous and a big comment to make to me."
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju sought to contradict Aamir's assertion and said: "The record shows that the number of incidents of communal violence in the country have come down since NDA came to power. Just to make a blatant statement that during NDA rule, the country has become intolerant, it unnecessarily tarnishes the image of the country."
The Congress, however, supported Aamir, with party vice president Rahul Gandhi suggesting that the Narendra Modi government reach out to the people to know why they felt disturbed.
Rahul Gandhi tweeted: "Instead of branding all those who question the government and Modiji as unpatriotic, anti-national or 'motivated', the government would do better to reach out to people to understand what's disturbing them."
In a quick rebuttal, the BJP said Rahul Gandhi supporting Aamir's comment only reeks of a conspiracy to defame the nation.
"We completely reject the comment of Aamir Khan. He is not scared but he is trying to scare people. Aamir Khan makes a comment and Rahul Gandhi supports it. It becomes clear from Gandhi's comment that there is a conspiracy going on in the country to defame the nation," BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain told media persons in New Delhi.
"India gave him all the laurels and respect. He should not forget that India made him a star," Hussain said.
A complaint was lodged against the "PK" star by short filmmaker Ullhas PR with Delhi Police over the remarks. Meanwhile, hundreds of activists of the Hindu Sena on Tuesday staged a loud demonstration outside Khan's residence in Mumbai protesting against his statement on intolerance. They were detained by the police and security beefed up around Aamir's house.
And stoking further the ongoing debate on the rising intolerance in the country, BJP parliamentarian Yogi Adityanath said in New Delhi that people were free to leave as it will reduce the country's population.
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi, however, said the Muslims would not leave the country, come what may, and that they would continue to live here as "proud Indians".
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal supported the actor, and tweeted: "BJP should stop silencing voices through abuses and threats. It's high time that the central government took concrete steps to instill a sense of security amongst people."
Several members of the film fraternity, including Anupam Kher, Ram Gopal Varma and Ashoke Pandit, slammed Aamir, saying that he must spread hope and not fear.
Veteran actor Anupam also a BJP supporter questioned Aamir on Twitter if he had asked Kiran "which country would she like to move out to".
"When did 'Incredible India' become 'Intolerant India' for you? Only in the last seven to eight months? #AtithiDevoBhavah," Anupam tweeted.
Aamir, in 2008, was appointed to endorse the tourism ministry's Incredible India campaign.
Ram Gopal Varma, too, wanted to know that when "Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman the three biggest stars of the Hindu country India are Muslims, I don't understand where intolerance is?"
Veteran actor Paresh Rawal, who starred in "OMG: Oh My God!" which questioned the existence of blind faith in godmen much like Aamir's blockbuster "PK", commented: "'PK' did rattle the belief of Hindus, but Aamir didn't face the wrath of Hindu or THE MAJORITY… but was superhit and made crores."
There also were some who backed Aamir music composer Vishal Dadlani of the Vishal-Shekhar duo, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta and veteran award-winning director Saeed Mirza, to name a few.
Dadlani said: "More power to your voice, @aamir_khan Sir! This is OUR country, it belongs to ALL Indians. Not to rabid lunatics from any party/religion. Thanks to Aamir Sir, for speaking against intolerance! Proud to see the giants of film, use their voices for India."
"Look, you have points of view. Let them be heard. I heard about the statement of Aamir Khan this morning. In fact, I read about it. He has a point of view, let it be heard. We can debate it," veteran award-winning director Saeed Mirza told IANS on the sidelines of a parallel student's film festival organised by the students of the Film and Television Institute of India in Panaji.
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt told a television channel: "Whatever he said was in a simple manner and what his wife told him. If people have issues and are afraid to live in India, the government should come forward and address those issues. Yes, the situation of the country has changed, it is not a political statement, it is the government's duty to listen to such voices."
Pakistani filmmaker Jamshed Mahmood Raza said: "If Aamir Khan is speaking out about intolerance and facing a backlash, the Indian actor is probably right."

West Virginia coal company files for bankruptcy protection
By Chris Anderson Appalachian Newspapers
A major West Virginia coal company filed for bankruptcy protection this week in federal court.
According to court documents, Revelation Energy LLC and its Blackjewel LLC parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the Southern District of West Virginia. According to the filing, made under the Blackjewel name, the company listed estimated assets of between $10 million and $50 million while listing liabilities with between 200 and 999 creditors. According to the filing, the total estimated liabilities amount to between $100 million and half a billion dollars.
The filing also lists several subsidiaries seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Code. Those included Blackjewel Holdings LLC, Blackjewel LLC, Revelation Energy Holdings LLC and Revelation Management Corporation. According to court documents, the companies are owned by Jeff Hoops and employ about 1,700 employees in Central Appalachia and Wyoming.
Hoops said in court documents that declining demand for coal due to cheaper alternative sources of energy, as well as increased costs associated with several factors, including industry regulation, made the bankruptcy filing necessary.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2017 Annual Coal Report, Revelation Energy/Blackjewel was the sixth largest coal producer in the country, producing more than 37 million short tons of coal.
According to court documents, the company owes more than $233.7 million to its 30 creditors with the largest unsecured claims, which is required to be listed in the bankruptcy filing. Those creditors are spread across several states, including Kentucky, West Virginia and Tennessee, and also include a creditor in Germany which is owed nearly $5 million and one in London, England owed nearly $1.8 million, both in "trade" debts. The company, the filing shows, owes more than $60 million to the federal Office of Natural Resources Revenue, as well as more than $37 million in taxes to Campbell County in West Virginia; $10 million in taxes to the state of Wyoming; and $10 million to the federal Department of Revenue.

Other creditors in West Virginia include Contra Energy in Julian, owed $6.1 million, and Walker Machinery in Belle, owed $2.7 million, both of which are "trade" debts; and Triple H Real Estate in Milton, which is owed "royalties" totaling more than $2.54 million.
Blackjewel listed 27 "principal assets" in the fling, with the Pax Surface Mine in Scarbro in Fayette County as its only one in West Virginia. The filing listed several principal assets in Kentucky and Virginia and three in Wyoming.

GAME THEORY CONSULTING
Matching Markets and the Boston Mechanism
written by TWS Partners
Fun & everyday life
The study of matching markets has a long tradition in economics and is a major focus in the field of market design. Examples of matching markets are manifold, ranging from kidney exchange through to school selection and online dating. One common feature across most of these markets is that monetary payment is limited or infeasible.
Instead, people carry out transactions based on information. The focus of economic analysis is therefore set on developing systems to elicit people's preferences and efficiently allocate a typically "heterogenous but indivisible good".
Probably best known for his economic research on matching markets is economist Alvin E. Roth, co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in 2012. One of Roth's protégés, Parag A. Pathak, has also effectively contributed to the analysis of matching mechanisms and putting economic matching theory to practice.
A prime example for this is the allocation of school places at Boston Public Schools. Up until 2005, the allocation of school places was based on the so-called "Boston mechanism". As part of the mechanism students had to rank their school choices according to preference. Subsequently, as many students as possible would be matched with their first choices. Then, all remaining students would be matched with their second choice and so on.1 As a result, popular schools filled up quickly and there was a chance that students, who did not get their first choice, also failed to get their second or third choices as they were already filled up with students who had listed them as first choice. This induced some students to misrepresent their preferences to strategically manipulate the mechanism. In fact, some of the students' parents gathered regularly prior to admission time to strategise and give advice to other parents, leading them to misrepresent their preferences. For example, they recommended to either list an unpopular school as first choice or "safe" second choice, to avoid having solely popular schools listed and risking not being assigned a place at all.2
To deal with this problem, Mr. Pathak proposed a mechanism that also asks students to list schools according to preference. Schools then assign first choices initially on a tentative basis. All students that are rejected in the first round are then tentatively assigned to their second choice, and so on. Only once all students are allocated to a school, is the assignment final. This way it is weakly optimal for all students to report their true preferences, regardless of what other students do.3
Despite the benefits of the mechanism proposed my Mr. Pathak, not everybody was happy with it. In particular, the group of parents that had previously been known to strategise, opposed the mechanism. Pathak and Sönmez (2004) present a theoretical explanation for this, where strategising students actually benefit from the Boston mechanism at the expense of more sincere students.4
The Boston mechanism was successfully replaced in 2005 and Mr. Pathak, who was recently awarded the 2018 John Bates Clark Medal, has since moved on to study other school matching mechanisms, such as New York High Schools and Chicago Exam Schools.

Here are some of the Vintage Gowns I will be listing shortly. This pretty pink Tulle Prom Dress would also make a lovely Bridesmaid Dress ~ in a Vintage themed Wedding.
A sweet little lace jacket would work well with the Strapless Dress.
The dress has multiple layers of tulle in soft pale pink.
This white gown is so pretty. I think it is for a taller gal, however. Or someone that can manage high heels. My daughter is standing on a 7 inch wooden stool, LOL.
I picture a Bride at an Outdoor Wedding in the Caribbean . . . white sand and ocean breezes.
I found this lovely dress at the Vintage Clothing Show I went to last weekend.
It just needs a gentle soak and then I will list it on Etsy.
So pretty with the silk, organdy, embroidery and raised floral detail.
Definitely worth a tiny bit of TLC.
Cider update: Our dog Cider is doing very well. She either has the bandage off or the cone off. We keep rotating. Her healed leg is still thin new skin and can't be "cleaned" constantly like she seems to want to do. It has been 2 months after all ~ I am sure she thinks it needs a good wash. The daily cleanings by humans apparently do not count, LOL.
What fabulous gowns!! I am so glad that Cider is doing so well!!! Must be all that love!
I am so glad to hear that Cider is doing well! Yay!!!
Glad to hear that Cider is doing so well.
Those gowns are all beautiful - I really love the silk, organdy embroidered dress.
It must be neat that your daughter can model them for you.
Beautiful...I found your blog while browsing. I like what I see here!
