This film — and a memoir of the same title — recount the story of how the filmmaker's father, Jack Kent, who is Catholic, put his life on the line and saved the filmmaker's mother, Roza Kent, who is Jewish, during the Holocaust. A few years ago, Jack Kent was awarded the same medal of heroism as Oskar Schindler.
Director Martin Kent (left) getting into a helicopter in New Orleans, about to fly 150 miles over the Gulf of Mexico to an offshore, deepwater oil-drilling rig.
Big Oil is drilling below 10,000 feet of water and 5 miles down attempting to recover badly-needed oil to meet the needs of America's energy crisis. The fact is, the age of oil is coming to an end. Unfortunately, there's no "Plan B."
Times are tough, and they're going to get tougher. If you missed OIL APOCALYPSE on the History Channel, CLICK HERE to purchase a copy of this important film.
Documentary Filmmaking has been my backstage pass to the world.


ALBION gave the European Champions a fright with a late rally but Demba's Ba's 28th-minute strike ultimately proved decisive at a ground where the Baggies have yet to earn a Barclays Premier League point in seven visits.
Chelsea dominated the first half and would have been further ahead at the break had it not been for another fine performance from Ben Foster.
The second 45 proved a scrappy affair but the Baggies grew in confidence during the closing stages and almost nicked an unlikely point, with Petr Cech twice having to be at his best to keep out a free-kick from sub Peter Odemwingie and an unwitting Cesar Azpilicueta header.
Fourth entertained seventh at Stamford Bridge as Steve Clarke made two enforced changes for his first return to his former club as a head coach.
Marc-Antoine Fortune and Graham Dorrans came in for on-loan Romelu Lukaku, who was ineligible to face his parent club, and injured skipper Chris Brunt.
There was a big moment for 16-year-old Academy midfielder Isaiah Brown, who was named on the bench for the first time.
Clarke was welcomed back to his former stomping ground by the on-pitch announcer as he emerged from the tunnel moments before kick-off and was given the warmest of welcomes by both sets of fans.
Albion made a bright enough start in West London but were grateful to a fine piece of goalkeeping by in-form Foster after just four minutes.
Oscar looked certain to score as he made contact with Ba's perfectly-placed centre but was brilliantly denied by Foster at point=blank range.
In the same minute, Oscar teed up Juan Mata and the Spanish international fizzed a fine volley just past the far post from an acute angle.
However, Albion soon had a shooting chance of their own when James Morrison was felled by Ramires 30 yards out. Steven Reid stepped up to the set-piece and unleashed a ferocious shot which Cech did well to push over.
The Baggies more than held their own for the next ten minutes as the teams enjoyed an equal share of possession.
But the visitors had another let off on 17. A flowing move resulted in Mata whipping in a cross from the right and the unmarked Oscar planted a free header straight at Foster.
Moments later, Ba drilled a fierce shot straight at Foster from the edge of the box.
Chelsea were now keeping Albion pegged back but Oscar was well off target from distance on 22.
There was also a nervy moment when Gareth McAuley attempted to shepherd a loose ball back to Foster, with Eden Hazard breathing down the centre-half's neck. Thankfully, the Albion No.1 was alert to the danger and hacked the ball out for a throw-in the nick of time.
The Blues pressure was mounting and Foster had to scamper across his goalline to push away a David Luiz free-kick which took a wicked deflection off Youssouf Mulumbu in the Albion wall.
However, Chelsea broke through Albion's resistance from the resulting, 28th-minute flag-kick. A short corner was fed to Oscar whose deep centre was headed back across goal by Luiz for Ba to tap home.
The hosts had deserved their lead and almost doubled it on the half-hour mark when Mata flashed a fine 18-yard volley a yard wide of the left-hand post.
Albion were struggling to get any forward momentum going and Liam Ridgewell did well in the 38th minute to deflect wide Oscar's 18-yard half-volley direct from Mata's corner.
The Baggies' defence showed they were willing to put their bodies on the line again two minutes later when Jonas Olsson and Ridgewell, again, threw themselves in the way of shots from Oscar and Azpilicueta to protect Foster's goal.
Albion didn't threaten again until three minutes before the break when Morrison volleyed wildly over from 25 yards.
That proved the final action of a half in which Chelsea's expensively assembled side had underlined their class.
It took both teams a while to get going after the break, but Foster was again the first keeper who was called into action when, on 55, he denied Ba at point-blank range inside his six-yard box.
But normal service soon resumed as Albion struggled to get out of their own half.
Chelsea were rightly denied a penalty by referee Kevin Friend when Hazard went to ground after going shoulder to shoulder with Olsson in the box before Clarke rang his first change, replacing Fortune with Odemwingie.
The second half had largely been incident-free and it wasn't until the 70th minute that Albion won their first corner. However, with the score only 1-0, they were surprisingly still in it.
Albion won another flag-kick on 72 but Olsson could not keep his near-post flick from Morrison's centre on target.
The Baggies were now growing in confidence and, 13 minutes from time, McAuley saw a deflected header from Morrison's free-kick loop just wide.
With his former boss and current England chief, Roy Hodgson, watching, Foster excelled again when he pulled off arguably his best save of the game to keep out Oscar's 15-yard volley from Ba's tee up. Moments later, he palmed away another strike inside the box from the same player.
But Albion hit back and began to put the Chelsea goal under concerted pressure.
Cech had to be at his best seven minutes from time to push over a stunning 30-yard free-kick from Odemwingie, who had caused real problems since coming off the bench.
From Morrison's resulting corner, Cech had to produce an equally fine reflex save after Azpilicueta inadvertently headed the ball towards his own net.
Albion just would not lie down and went close on two further occasions in stoppage time.
Morrison found Odemwingie just inside the box and Cech had to make a smart save at his near post to keep out the Nigerian's left-footed grass-cutter.
Then, in the fifth minute of stoppage time, there was real panic in the Chelsea box. Reid played Morrison's corner back into the danger-zone and Foster, who had come up for the flag-kick, came within inches of connecting with an ambitious scissor kick. The ball eventually fell to Olsson who miscued wide from 15 yards.
With that chance went Albion's hopes of bagging a point and the full-time whistle was greeted with a collective sigh of relief from the home fans.

My mom is up and moving away. I will miss her ever-changing flower beds the most, she calls it her "english garden"…aren't they gorgeous? She's moving to a beautiful beach community hours up the coast to retire in peace after 35 years of nursing in my hometown of Pasadena. We are going to miss having her local, especially Scarlet, but we are looking forward to spending some quality time vacationing together for weeks on the Pacific this summer. While I was packing up my childhood bedroom, my mom invited me into the special cabinet… the one I was never allowed near as a kid, filled with family heirloom china and all those magical beautiful fragile things that fascinated me back then and now.
Then she gave some of it to me! It's all so neat, I thought you might like to check it out. My absolute favorite? This gold flatware. It's five piece serving sets for 16. Isn't it stunning? I'd like to eat with it maybe on the holidays, but how would I clean it? I don't imagine you put gold in the dishwasher?
This set of 12 bejeweled Italian dessert plates from the 60's is just perfect.
And these matching gold plated coffee mugs come with a stunning coffee pot that plugs in and percolates the coffee.
I can't wait to serve a beautiful salad in these bowls, I'm thinking maybe a waldorf or fruit salad would be the way to go? What would you serve in them?
My parents always had a beautiful bar set up, with decanters on a fancy bar cart and these amazing glasses, that come in three different silhouettes in sets of 12. I think they are the most perfect pattern one could imagine drinking from.
And these pick-your-poison glasses are a lot of fun, right?
Mom also let me raid the liquor cabinet and wine closet. Creme de casis anyone?
These are so fascinating. If you already saw them on facebook, don't give away the secret! Can anyone guess what they are? Here's the deal, they came as part of my mother's 1968 wedding china. You place one flower and one leaf between each place setting. I've never seen anything like this before and I doubt I ever will again. I have 6 of them now, which is service for 12. Guess what they are in the comments!
…some of my childhood drawings of my favorite mask my mom brought me from Mardi Gras and my first dog, Fluffy. Fluffy was a great dog.
…20-year-old dried corsages. These I let go as they crumbled when I touched them.
My enlarger for black and white photos. My mom was so awesome to support my desire to learn to develop photos and help me set up a dark room. Time well spent, ha. Should I hang on to this? Will it ever be useful again? Will this skill become a cool thing to know when Scarlet is older? Doubtful, huh?
My mom has a collection of paintings by this artist whose name escapes me. My big brother requested them, but I had to snap a picture of this one because I love it so much. Seems like it would fit right into a modern home today.
So that's my vintage score from my mother's house. I am so sad she is moving away, but I am glad she is going to get the rest she deserves, and so thankful she, Scarlet, and I had the experience of sharing these things now. I love you mom, and thank you!
What amazing treasures! I love them all!
My MIL has the same gold flatware. We use it for holidays and family gatherings. We wash them by hand and make sure to dry them well with a soft cloth before returning them to their box to make sure that they stay nice and shiny. I'm really curious about those china things that go between your place settings. You must tell us what they are for.
Oh, I want to guess what the mystery items are! I would guess salt and sugar servers, but one of them has a lip on it, so I'm not really sure.
I can't guess what the flower is for but the leaf looks like a bone dish.
Do you put olive pits in the flower?
Salt and pepper dishes?? Or one a fingertip bowl for water?
What great treasures! I had those name your poison glasses! Got them when we got married in 1976. I must've given them away at some point! Too bad!!!


These prayer flags have a single design woodblock print reapeated 4 times on a single color background. There is a contrasting colored border and multicolored streamers. Available in 5 different design colors.
If you're interested in our flagpoles we recommend heights of 10' or 12'6".

US Patent and Trademark Office Issues Patent for Biometric Identification Between International Entities
The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a patent on Tuesday, July 20th (patent #11,068,732) to the CEO of Ideal Innovations, Inc. (I-3), called International Biometric Identification System (IBIS).
Press Release - updated: Aug 17, 2021
ARLINGTON, Va., August 17, 2021 (Newswire.com) - The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a patent on Tuesday, July 20 (patent #11,068,732) to the CEO of Ideal Innovations, Inc. (I-3), called International Biometric Identification System (IBIS). This patent may have a significant impact on the way in which international entities biometrically verify individuals from foreign countries without violating privacy in the process.
"IBIS is a significant step forward with regard to the use of biometrics internationally, in that it provides for identification verification of subjects from different countries without sharing of biometric information between those countries," noted Bob Kocher, CEO of I-3. "Privacy and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) disclosure are top-of-mind issues these days with respect to biometric use, and we specifically wanted to find a way to address that concern with IBIS."
IBIS encompasses a system and method for international biometric identity verification between two countries, without transferring biometric information between the two countries. It will replace the traditional approach of identification via uniforms and identification cards, which are easily compromised, into a secure approach of leveraging biometric information through a person's identity. This approach is consistent with the policy of not sharing any biometric information relating to verification of identification of individuals with other countries.
"We imagine applications where partner nations, working in international assistance, humanitarian, and even military operations domains, can rapidly and securely vet individuals from other countries biometrically, without compromising that individual's personal information," stated Kocher.
Ideal Innovations is an inventions company that develops innovative ways to solve difficult problems. It has additional experimental efforts underway, including developing methods for identifying potential elite future performers, rapid secure access systems, and early detection of viruses.
For any inquiries regarding IBIS, please contact Ideal Innovations at info@idealinnovations.com.

East Lansing Public Schools gives $390,000 in bonuses to teachers, staff
By Cryss Walker |
Posted: Tue 11:14 PM, Nov 19, 2019 |
Updated: Wed 5:45 AM, Nov 20, 2019
EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - East Lansing Public Schools is cutting a big check to employees after massing $687,000 in excess funds.
"Some of our operating expenses and some of our maintenance expenses were less than they anticipated and that created a larger surplus than usual," said Trustee Chris Martin.
The Board of Education accepted the superintendent's recommendation to use $390,000 towards bonuses for teachers and staff.
"I am very excited because I think this is a sign of us as a district investing in our people and the people who are in the classrooms in our schools each and every day," said Board President Erin Graham.
The one-time payment disbursed to 377 employees last Friday.
"I do think it's a token of appreciation," Graham said.
"I think there's always more that I and I know a lot of people would like to be able to do for our staff and our employees. I think this is a small token of our appreciation to show that we're thinking about them and we really appreciate the work that they do on a regular basis."
Employees who work 20 hours or more per week was granted $1,000.
Staff members who work fewer hours received $500.
"We are doing pretty good," said Trustee Hillary Henderson.
"That comes from you know a great central staff who's monitoring our spending and our finances."
School administrators they hope to continue their financial practices to further invest in their teachers and staff.
"A thousand dollars before the holiday is really nice and I'm hoping that it's something that we can do more of in the future not just in the form of bonuses but in the form of higher pay for our teachers and greater benefits," Martin explained.
A long-time employee told the superintendent, in the 39 years they've been with the district employees have never been presented with a bonus.

now, I have learned to get REALLY involved in se in Tennessee. It not only benifits my se son, but others. And the kicker is I learned that going on board meetings and confrences are a time for me to breathe, and that is awesome. I never took a deep breath until this past weekend. And I loved it!
Oh, the ever elusive "me time"! I find that the people who judge my version of free time are people who have no problem scheduling (or paying for) the traditional Me Time activities. You know, massages, mani-pedi's, quiet lunch with friends, etc. They also don't offer to come over and watch my crazy, imperfect bunch -o- kids.
That being said, I like to put in a solid hour of Facebook games, specifically my beloved Frontierville, after my son gets on the bus at 6:40 am. With a cup of coffee. Me with the coffee…not him :).

Papaya extract is derived from the fruit of the plant carica papaya, which is native to Central America. This tropical fruit is packed with valuable nutrients and antioxidants and contains powerful enzymes that are used in the treatment of some ailments. Consuming papaya extract is an excellent way to support your body with healthful benefits.
Like the fruit, the papaya leaf and papaya leaf extract contain high quantities of papain and chymopapain, aka enzymes responsible for overall health and well-being.
Papaya fruit is a rich source of valuable proteolytic enzymes, such as papain, that can greatly aid in the digestive process.
Proteolytic enzymes digest protein by aiding in the digestion process, breaking it down into amino acids. They can be taken as a supplement, but better yet, they can be found naturally in certain foods. A great example is papaya. Papain plays a key role in digestive processes involving breaking down tough protein fibers. For this reason, it has been commonly used in its native South America for digestive support when eating meat and even to tenderize meat before cooking.
Papayas are commonly consumed for proper digestion. The presence of papain, improves digestion by breaking down proteins and also cleanses the digestive tract. This ensures a reduced conversion of protein into body fat. If the protein in our diet is not digested properly, it may cause arthritis, constipation, diabetes, high blood pressure, and other related health conditions.
Chemicals in the enzyme papain may reduce overall inflammation. They also may decrease pain and inflammation experienced with rheumatoid arthritis and help improve healing of injuries and reduce swelling following surgery. An article published in "Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology" in July 2001 noted that papain shows strong anti-inflammatory activities in the treatment of infectious arthritis.
High concentrations of vitamin A and C in papaya leaves work to strengthen your immune system and keep colds and coughs from returning. A study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology also concluded that papaya leaf extracts can boost Th1 type cytokines in the immune system. These signaling molecules regulate the immune system, giving papaya more immunotherapeutic benefits and providing treatment and prevention of certain diseases and allergic disorders.

The above is my Categories create action. I am getting an exception on the save changes method.

It is just me working on the project so nobody else is updating my local db while trying to insert. I followed the link and it seems like there isn't a straight forward way to have this run without doing a try catch. What am I missing? What is the most effective way to do what I trying to do?

        DropForeignKey("dbo.Product", "Category_ID1", "dbo.Category");

Golos: Second statement of the Association GOLOS on the results of the long-term election monitoring of the local elections and the presidential elections which are scheduled for 4 th March 2012.
posted 2 Mar 2012, 09:18 by Rights in Russia [ updated 2 Mar 2012, 09:19 ]
The Association GOLOS is implementing a long-term monitoring mission of the events of the presidential elections. This will be carried out by 48 long-term observers, by correspondents from the newspaper "Grazhdanskij golos" [Eng.: Citizen's voice] and activists from the Association GOLOS who have completed an appropriate training programme. GOLOS sources its information from the media, from expert interviews with representatives of political parties, leaders of nongovernmental organisations and members of election commissions, as well as reports from citizens who have observed violations during the election process and informed representatives of GOLOS personally or via the "Map of violations", a project run by the Association GOLOS.
During the election monitoring, the association is focusing its attention above all on the following aspects:
1. Protecting citizens' electoral rights and ensuring conformity with the election procedures;
2. The work of the election commissions;
3. The use of administrative resources during the election process;
4. Guaranteeing equal opportunities for candidates and parties during the election campaign;
5. Adherence to the procedures for voting, vote-counting and the announcement of the election results.
This is the second or a series of statements, which should document the events of the election process. When the results of the elections are known, the Association GOLOS plans to present an analytical report, in which all documents and files received are to be compiled and analysed. In the reports, particular attention will be paid to violations of the principles of free and democratic elections during all phases of the election process. You are invited to familiarise yourself with the reports from GOLOS on previous elections at this address: http://www.golos.org/elections.
What distinguishes the present electoral campaign from that of the fall of 2011 is that the technologies for pressuring voters are more carefully organized, and they bring greater fears of publicity and public scandal. Furthermore, after the massive protests that arose from the 4 December 2011 State Duma elections, government officials seek on one hand to reduce the intensity of protest sentiments with promises to bring change to Russia's political system (draft legislation has been published on the law on political parties; the procedure for the electoral registration of candidates, specifically creating an
exemption from the required collection of signatures from representatives of political parties; the law on the election of governors; and a new draft law has been introduced on the elections of deputies of the State Duma) and on the other, to oppose representatives of the opposition by way of
a strong information campaign.
Isolated cases of open campaigning for Vladimir Putin by state officials have been documented, but it is significant that there are fewer examples of such in this campaign than there were in the fall 2011 campaign.
The main campaign is being conducted through the central television channels. This is where administrative resources are used to the maximum extent to indirectly campaign for Putin under the guise of covering his professional activities. At the same time, his refusal to participate in direct debates with his opponents creates an aura of singularity and detachment from the other electoral participants. All of the official privileges of being the prime minister have been fully utilized: a trip across the country, meetings with labor collectives, speeches on campaign matters and promises, media reports and coverage....
Undoubtedly, all of these privileges have been incorporated into Russian electoral legislation, as has been frequently discussed in GOLOS' reports. However, the administrative law clearly demarcates the limitations on the use of one's official position for personal gain. Just one example: was the rally that was held in Luzhniki Stadium exclusively as a campaign event for one candidate paid for by his election fund?!
Meanwhile, individual participants of protests have been subjected to pressure and intimidation. This is especially true in the regions, where independent media organizations, NGOs, and opposition representatives have all been subjected to pressure. Organized mass hysteria fueled by accusations that NGOs and opposition members have been working with foreign states has been widely broadcasted from the federal mass media to the regional level.
According to data coming in from the regions there remains a vicious practice of "planned targets," whereby the federal center informally sets goals for administrations on voter turnouts for the elections, and on the percentage of votes for the "necessary" candidate. Active signals are given for the compulsory participation of citizens in the elections, the receipt of absentee voter certificates, the organization of polling stations directly within businesses, and the declaration of 4 March as a working day... The electoral campaign in general is marked by many instances of "Black PR" against non-system opposition members, and against the registered presidential candidates. The Internet and city streets are replete with materials issued by citizens on their personal initiatives against Putin, the United Russia party, CEC chairman Vladimir Churov, etc.
Undoubtedly, this is the inverse side of the total official mass media domination of Putin's campaign and counter-campaign against the opposition.
In general, GOLOS Association believes that the negative tendencies of the fall 2011 campaign smoothly transitioned to the presidential election campaign, which was compounded by a harsh confrontation between adherents and opponents of one of the candidates and was deprived of normal political debates on the country's key problematic issues.

Rehab Bingo re-brands following ASA ruling
NEW Big Tease Bingo - Get 500% + 25 Free Spins!
The Advertising Standards Authority, or ASA for short, have been very busy clamping down on bingo sites these days. The latest one to fall into their view is Rehab Bingo and they have been quite harsh with this site. We've got the full information on this gossip, so keep reading if you want to know all about it!
Bye Bye Rehab Bingo
The ASA took a lens to this site and found that the name was problematic, as they think that it promotes gambling as an escape for other addictions. The name rehab could suggest that a user could use this as an escape from their day to day life, which is a big no no for bingo sites.
The name actually comes from their support of a charity, which is based in Ireland. The original owners of the site created it to support this charity, though it's not entirely clear if this was kept up by Broadway Gaming, who acquired the site some years later.
This, in itself, could be deemed to be a bit misleading, if players believed they were still supporting the charity. However, the ASA were more concerned about the other implications of the name. Thus Rehab bingo closes and Rosy Bingo was born!
To us, this seems like an exceptionally harsh ruling, used to make an example of this site. While the ASA acknowledged where the name came from, they seem more concerned with the potential way the word rehab could be taken by users. They said that the name was socially irresponsible, which feels like a bit of an overreaction.
This isn't the first time that we've seen a ruling along these lines, as another operator was fined for a story that one of their affiliates put out. In the article, the ASA deemed that the affiliate had advertised the operator as a way to escape normal life. Subsequently, the ad had to be taken down and the operator was fined, for the sake of a single sentence within the article.
What are your thoughts on this ruling, do you think this is a fair ruling?
(Click HERE for notes on Responsible Gambling)
Has Anything Changed?
A Rosy Bingo by any other name would smell as sweet it seems, as pretty much everything on the site is exactly the same. There's been a bit of a rebrand concerning the logo, but that's really where the big changes end. You'll notice a bit of a difference on the homepage, but everything in the lobby is just the same.
We're not sure why this operator plumped for the name Rosy Bingo instead, but we think it's a good alternative. It conjures up an idea of rose tinted glasses, spring gardens and more to us, so it's probably quite a positive name. We wonder if the brand could potentially lose some visibility, as it's been forced to change name.
Broadway Gaming clearly have to be careful with the ASA in future, as this isn't the first time they've gotten in hot water. They've been fined previously for a lack of clarity within their promotions, which has left them with serious bills to pay. It's also the motivation behind their sites becoming wagering requirement free, as this means less terms to inform their players about.
Players will know what to expect here, as there's really not much changed with this site. Aside from the name, you're in for exactly the same experience as what you're accustomed to. With so many sites to choose from, this could be a negative point against the site, as existing users might be a bit confused.

The following is adapted from Dario Nardi's, Character and Personality Type, Discovering Your Uniqueness for Career and Relationship Success *Used with permission.
All interpersonal relationships face similar challenges. It is how you respond that makes or breaks the bond. Relationships should be about two people. There must be a match somewhere-something to relate around-whether the commonality is values, life-theme, career, shared history, type, chemistry, or philosophy of life.
Each of us has our own definition of how to relate, and the language of love two people share so easily at some moments can unravel at others. Many times, two otherwise intelligent people believe they are blatantly and obviously communicating their needs and values, when in fact little gets through, because each is working from different core assumptions, interpreting remarks and gestures differently, or looking for an altogether different set of signals. Even seemingly self-explanatory words like passion and trust, intimacy and communication, and commitment and respect can actually hide tremendous differences. Each temperament has its own language.
What you can trust in a relationship is that people will act according to their temperament core needs and values, their type's themes, and the life-themes and attitudes and beliefs that flavor who they are. Even when people agree in principle they go on doing things differently! When there are problems, you do not always need to "fix" them or back off and distance yourself. You can simply give the other person more space to be who he or she is. And you do not need to change each other or yourself, only change what parts of yourselves you show to each other.
Use the guidelines below to help you understand and perhaps discover some strategies for your relationships. These are particularly useful in bringing together the four major ingredients on the previous page.
Idealists recognize the importance of sitting with and exploring their values and emotional needs. Insisting they always "be there" for you and not allowing them space to discover other parts of themselves may end your relationship. Idealists also need to allow others more emotional room than they themselves usually need–few people are as talented as Idealists in living with and resolving conflicting feelings. Support Idealists in any new quests or interests with the understanding that they will probably come around again in time to revisit and reintegrate the relationship. They will disassociate from a person they believe can't grow with them. Many Idealists are strong on intimacy and are able to "go there"–and stay there–more than most.
Guardians expect a physical space and time set aside-this shows you care and want to include them. This space in your shared lives should be appropriate and long term, not arbitrary, and time spent together should feel comfortable, not rushed or thoughtless. In their desire to monitor and lend a helping hand, Guardians can also leave others without enough privacy, independence, or responsibility for themselves. Reconfirm each other's roles and ask the Guardian to develop a new way to delegate responsibility in the relationship if you want more freedom for yourself. Guardians expectations are often quite traditional. Many Guardians' are strong on commitment and may be ready to commit sooner than others.
Rationals prefer time to think–a conceptual space to understand what's going on. Ignoring their ideas without listening or attacking reason as a way to understand interpersonal interactions, will leave them cold. Rationals also need to make allowances for others here. Most people do not have the same talent or get the same energizing feeling from analyzing, maximizing and redesigning a relationship. Engage the Rationals' ideas and explicitly ask them to come up with new ones if you disagree. They may not go somewhere in a relationship if they feel incompetent at it and detest when others try to think for them. Many Rationals are strong on compatibility–two people should fit into the big picture of each other's lives with a way to relate.
Artisans want space to act, and opportunities for freedom and spontaneity will keep them around. The Artisan who feels trapped or taken advantage of will be resistant and desire escape. Similarly, Artisans can become impatient when others do not act fast enough or act awkwardly, and in their desire to move forward they may end up going their own way or grabbing for themselves the very opportunities the other person needs. Artisans are keenly interested in your motives in a situation, and they want to know what you want in a relationship so they can give that to you. They experience arbitrary rules in relationships as unnecessary obstacles and enjoy surprises. Many Artisans are strong on passion and chemistry.


This bike was a visitor to Auguste Handmade in London for a refurbishment in April 2016.
Built with Prugnat lugs (model not yet identified) seen on a number of Major's bikes from this era through into the early 1970's, the frame, which is about 24″, is built for road competition use. The forks appear to have a shorter than normal relief, perhaps less than 2″ (5cm). They are elegant and fitted into a flat topped Vagner 12 + fausse' saignee', one of Major's favourites. There is a Reynolds 531 transfer which confirms double butted tubes. There are long panel full wrapover seatstays and their topeyes have the double fishtail motif in white. The curved reinforced seatstay and brake bridges are to carry centrepull brakes, in this case Universal Mod 61s. The chainstay bridge is curved. There are minimal brazeons, just rear derailleur BB cable guide and chainstay stop, typical of the period.
The frame has a particularly nice original finish in a delicious strawberry flam enamel with white head panel and two S/T panels. The lug lining is in black and gold. Interestingly the typical flag and shield 5 Reform Street transfers are different sizes, with smaller on the seat tube. There are standard 1″ gothic script transfers on the D/T and small gothic script transfers on the chainstays, which tends to be confirming a quality build. Both are white with black edge.
Auguste has provided sprints to replace rusted steel wheels. The Universal 61's have a hanger q/r which is a nice touch. Cinelli bars and stem, band on shifters, guides and pump pegs and a Brooks saddle on a plain alloy pin. Any ideas on mechs and chain set? Alvin thinks one of the later Williams C34s with the optional fluted cranks. We could use some decent photos if the owner is looking in! And if provided with the frame number we could perhaps add a bit of history and add to the legend too.
Thanks Felix for the tip off!


Speaking from experience, tough things rarely happen in isolation. I find that I am tested with not one challenge, but several at the same time. Much can be learned from these periods of time, so I'd like to share with you what I've gathered.
Do what feels good. Not what feels good at the time and will create sadness or guilt later, like swallowing an entire chocolate cake or watching 10 back-to-back movies. If you are honest with yourself, you'll know what I mean as this is different for everyone. And, avoid what feels bad. Perhaps you bump into a person in the grocery store. By their mere conversation, you get "down" and feel uncomfortable by their questions. Perhaps you are not ready to talk about matters, and feel negativity emanating from them. Perhaps you can't even figure out why, but you begin to feel better as you walk away from this person. Perhaps walking through a store brings back sad reminders. Avoid the store until you can handle it.
2. Good can come out of bad.
Spending the whole summer watching my grandfather slip downwards was a horrible, sad experience. But, during this time, family and friends came by to spend time with our family. My aunt and uncle stayed in the bedroom across the way like two peas in a pod, and we were brought back to times from all of our childhoods. And we recalled funny memories of my grandfather. So, the sad time brought us together. Sometimes the good is less tangible. Look for it because it is there.
If you are choosing a path that is hard (i.e., changing a secure but stressful job, leaving a bad marriage) or the change is not one by choice (i.e., getting sick, getting fired), just know that as acutely painful as this time is, it will get better. Time has a weird way of healing, if you are open to the change that will come. Dig up a time in your past that was difficult. Are you still feeling that pain? Perhaps yes, but I bet you that it has dulled somewhat. Perhaps you lost someone you love. You may never forget the sadness of the loss, but you are able to get through your days or can smile instead of cry when thinking of this loved one. This is progress.
Especially if you aren't used to asking for help and consider yourself tough enough, ask for help. You may not pay attention to your needs and push through rough times, but everyone has a breaking point. If you find yourself unable to eat or eating everything in sight, are staying in bed for days on end, and are crying for weeks, this is a sign you need help. It is normal to feel sad when times get rough, but if you find that your sadness is causing the rest of your life to come crashing down, there is no shame in getting a hand. Perhaps you just need a hug or a phone call. But you might need even more than this. Go make an appointment with a doctor or therapist to talk about what is going on.
5. Don't talk about anything you're not ready to talk about.
Often when people ask you questions, inappropriate, nosy ones or even simple ones with no evil intent, you can feel that you are obligated to answer. Perhaps you want to avoid uncomfortable silences or not insult your asking party. Well, newsflash, just because they are asking does not mean you have to answer. Especially if answering would upset you and force you to go down an emotional road you are not ready to travel. They are invading YOUR space, and it is your job to actively protect your own boundaries. There will always be rude, nosy people in the world. That you can't stop. But what you can do is to protect your privacy. How do you do this?
Well, once you look at invasions of your space as the aggressive action and not something you must comply with because you are supposed to…it will be far easier. The more control you have over your life, and the earlier you figure out that you can make changes, the happier you will be.
You could return with an equally invasive question. "So, how's your weight loss going?" "Did you know your husband pinched my behind last year at the Christmas party?" Here is the possible expression of Nibby Nora.
5. Hang out with supportive people.
I find it interesting how people spend tons of time complaining about their so-called friends, only to continually make plans with them. Or they are irritated with their ugly wardrobe, but are not saving money or buying bargains. Perhaps people like to complain, or they just feel powerless over their lives. Think about what you are getting out of the complaining. Are people running to your aid? Does the attention feel good? Or are you too lazy to do anything and it's habit complaining? Whatever it is, it's not worth it. And, examine your life. They say an unexamined life is not worth living. I don't know if I'd go that far, but it's hard to make changes if you don't spend the time to look at what is going wrong. That includes what you are doing too, as it's easier to change yourself than others. If you are know or live with someone who drives you mad, or needs help, you can only set a good example and make gentle reminders. But you will look like father time from the mere stress before this person chooses to see themselves in the mirror. In the meantime, do what you need to do, and you might inspire them along the way.
So, it is truly YOUR choice and well within your power to make your life happier. And one of the most important things you can do is to select supportive, positive people in your life. And there is no better way to find out than in hard times. The cream floats to the top.
The last thing in the world you might want to do is to get out of bed. But if you stay in bed all day, you know you will only feel worse. Ok, maybe you can do it a day or two, but eventually, you might create new problems, like getting canned from your job and now you have more to be depressed about. You may have no interest in going to the movies or listening to music. And maybe the first few times you go out with friends feels awful. But after a while, you will feel the positive effects. That goes for exercise, reaching out to friends and family, cooking a meal for yourself. Do the actions first and the feelings will follow later.
As odd as this sounds, doing good for other people is actually one of the MOST therapeutic ways of picking yourself up. Think about it. You feel like crap because you are spending all day thinking about your own problems. It's like having a gerbil on crack running on a neverending little wheel. It gets old and you are going no where. Jump off the train to nowhere and start helping someone else out. Or write a card to some older relative you have who lives alone. Take someone out to dinner who rarely goes out. Whatever it is, you are not focusing on yourself, you are taking a break from figuring out your own things, and you are getting positive feelings from doing a good deed.
Oddly, as I am living in the Northeast and just getting used to the onset of fall, I have just come across the most delightful discovery…the perfect sunscreen for one's countenance. I am a writer/editor, so I am always finding odd words that come to mind, so by countenance, I mean your gorgeous face. I was off for a walk (yes, for those have read my post about walking, I do follow my own advice!) and realized that the rays were pelting down on my pale skin. As I am acutely aware of the ozone thinning and the need to protect oneself, I went searching for an appropriate cream to slather on. As I'm home, my very hip mother showed me a new product she picked up. So, hence, my latest fab discovery: Glymed Plus Cell Science Proto-Age Protection Cream 30+. Geez, could this be any longer.
So, on to the product. I have immense lurking guilt about not wearing sunscreen. From billboards, commercials, and magazines, and the evil, pore-obsessed, confidence-crushing makeup ladies, I am acutely aware that I should be applying SPF on my face all the way down to my big toes.
Because clothing does not completely protect either. I am not extreme and due to laziness as well, I have settled for face coverage.
Also, the cream is a thicker cream, but you need far less for coverage. It also doubles as a moisturizer as well, so you can shave off that part of your routine. The cream blends into my skin, giving me an even rosy glow to my skin, but after hours of wear, I don't smell it, notice it, or have any excessive oiliness or irritation. And there is no sticky residue either. I am a believer.
Now for the medical aspect of this product. The days of tanning on the beach for hours are long gone. The suns rays are even more powerful, especially in portions of the world with increased ozone depletion, like Australia. However, the rest of the world is not safe either, as there is a generalized increase of SPF rays passing through our atmosphere and making contact with your delicate cheeks, eyelids and shoulders. This product is great as the protection is 30+, however you must apply especially if you are sweating, playing sports, or especially swimming.
UVA and UVB protection is important, as both lead to skin damage. UVA is particularly dangerous as it causes damage to your DNA within skin cells, increasing the risk of melanoma. From my clinical experience, melanoma is a frightening disease. While working in a specialized cancer center, oncologists were particularly impressed with melanoma's ability to defeat conventional medicine. A doctor may eradicate a seemingly simple skin lesion for it to return a year later affecting multiple internal organs. I witnessed a particularly sad case in this hospital. Wrinkles and sunspots are no treat, but melanoma can end your life. So, please cover up.
So, a few important things. This product is perfect for now. Buy it. But, as a new better ingredient (accepted in Europe first when was living in London), has just been approved by the FDA, look for ecamsule or Mexoryl (brand name) in sunscreens. It might not be out there yet, but it, along with zinc oxide and avobenzone are apparently the best active ingredients out there for full UVA/UVB coverage.
But titanium dioxide is still great, providing good coverage for both UVA and UVB, but reportedly doesn't cover the entire UVA spectrum.
Another important note. I hate being duped, so know that the company has downsized the product size, but kept the price the same. It's now 1.6 oz instead of 2oz. So, look online, perhaps on Ebay, for a 2oz size. If it's 1.6oz, look for a lower cost.
DO put sunscreen on your face in the morning and reapply several times a day if you can.
DO reapply more times if you are sweaty or working out or swimming.
DO NOT lay on the beach/at the pool at prime sun times, 12pm to 3pm. If you must, sit under an umbrella or put on a hat.
DO cover your little ones with hats and sunscreen.
DO make a yearly appointment with a dermatologist to do a skin check. I'm a BIG HUGE fan of prevention rather than treatment.


Today is the last day with our family. We were not too proactive in leaving as we were trying to spend as much time with Guy and Gigi (Noah's adorable cousins) as possible. Guy and I played our own version of angry birds in the living room with his stuffed bird we picked up while at Build a Bear yesterday. Sadie (Noah's aunt) let me rummage through a few more things before leaving.
Guy was pretty cute when we said goodbye. He was nice enough to sing Noah to sleep before we got in the car. He sang his favorite song, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". It worked like a charm. So we were off…or so we thought.
Rick and I are pretty good procrastinators. When looking at a 12 hour drive, one will come up with all sorts of excuses to avoid the excruciating drive which is Texas. So why not do a little shopping before we were staring at nothing but highway?!
We stopped in Castle Rock at the outlet mall just to look around.
Well…by the time we got in our car it was way past 2:00pm. Knowing that we were not going to make it home that night, we started contemplating where we wanted to sleep. We wanted it to be at least a little bit fun since we are on vacation. I don't know how many of you have made the trip between Texas and Colorado, but there is not a lot of fun between those two states.
This looks like a fun place to stay!
We drove about an hour (yes just an hour) and decided to stop in Colorado Springs for the night. We were now 1.5 hours from my brother's house. We are awesome, I know.
We checked out the Broadmoor but they were booked for the night (and possibly a bit out of price range) so we then looked at Cheyenne Mountain Resort. It was beautiful (and cheaper) so we decided to stay. It was a lot like summer camp in that the outside looked like cabins and there was a lake as well as a resort pool. The inside was nothing like summer camp and surprisingly nice. That night they were having a seafood buffet so Rick felt that God was looking out for us in our hotel choices.
We already know how much Noah enjoys swimming so we ventured down to the lake and Noah experienced sand for the first time. He wanted to put it in his mouth, as he does everything. He thought it was pretty cool and enjoyed the texture. He enjoyed rubbing his feet and hands on the sand. It also loved him, as we kept finding pieces of sand on him even after he got a bath.
We also played in the splash park and hung out in the pool. While we were in the pool, a woman came up to us and commented on how strong Noah was. This should have triggered my Down syndrome parent radar as Noah looks far from strong to other parents. When her 19 year old daughter Angie sat down, I got a little excited as Angie had Down syndrome. Angie had just graduated from high school (Woo Hoo! Go Angie!) and was enjoying her vacation. This mom had adopted Angie as well as another boy with Down syndrome. HOW AWESOME IS THAT??? This was a such an encouragement to us and we are very thankful we met them.
I think Rick ate his money's worth in snow crab.
Rick and I went to dinner, and Rick ate enough crab legs and shrimp to cover both of our dinners plus some. He is very smart about his choices at buffets and goes straight for the good stuff rather than wasting stomach space on things like salad. While we were sitting there, we made a very spontaneous decision. Why not continue our vacation here at this resort? We were planning on taking a separate vacation once we returned, but this would be much easier and cost effecient than what we were considering. Plus, Colorado Springs had a lot to offer and our hotel was pretty awesome. So, we decided to unload the car and enjoy a little more vacation.
Have you ever made a spontaneous decision to travel? What is one of your favorite vacation spots?
Love the pic of Noah in the tie, as well!!
Hey thanks! I really appreciate it.

Iconic Anthora™ Cup
Iconic Anthora™ Cup Featured on NYC's 2018 Bike Map
NYC Pays Homage to the Original NYC Coffee Cup
May 23, 2018, New York City, NY – The original Anthora™ cup – the on-the-go coffee cup that came to symbolize New York's active lifestyle – is now beckoning bicycles to hit NYC's streets, bike lanes and trails.
The paper cup The New York Times once called "perhaps the most successful cup in history" is making a special appearance on the cover of the New York City Department of Transportation 2018 NYC Bike Map.
On the map's cover, Anthora's familiar "We are happy to serve you" message has been modified to "We are happy to bike here," and the Greek-inspired key design and steaming coffee cups have been altered in favor of a biking motif. The modifications were made with permission from Dart Container Corporation and the Solo Cup Operating Corporation, which owns the Anthora™ cup trademarks.
"In the last few years, a daily bike ride has become a part of thousands of New Yorkers' daily routine," said DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. "This year's bike map recreates the iconic Anthora™ coffee cup, associated with the hustle, bustle and daily morning ritual of so many New Yorkers – repurposed into a bike-friendly message. We thank Dart Container and SOLO for allowing us to use their Anthora™ design this year to reach New York cyclists – whether they need a caffeine boost or not!"
The cup's time-honored design includes traditional Greek colors and an Amphora urn and gained popularity more than 50 years ago with the Greek immigrants who owned many NYC diners. It became so recognizable on the city's streets that it began appearing frequently in movies and television shows. Now, coffee from any movie or TV show set in New York has to be sipped from an Anthora™ cup. The cup has been filmed in the hands of Leonardo DiCaprio, Jon Hamm, Tommy Lee Jones and countless others.
The New York City bike map is an annual free publication of the NYCDOT. You can download a PDF of the map at www.nyc.gov/bikemap.
Find out more about NYC's favorite cup by visiting www.dartcontainer.com for more Anthora™ Cup Fun Facts.
The Anthora™ cup is not available for purchase by the general public but restaurants can order it through Dart's distributors in the region. Contact Dart Container at sales@dart.biz for more information.

"It was cold and she wasn't sure how the weather would affect her pipes." Or, if you prefer: "She didn't have time to rehearse." These are two of the explanations put forth by spokesmen for singer Beyoncé, who has confirmed suspicions that she lip-synched "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the presidential inauguration last week.
If you thought the matter was resolved, then you haven't been paying attention to Chuck Schumer. On Sunday, the senior senator from New York said he is still awaiting an apology from the songstress. During his regular Sunday press conference, the New York Post reports, Schumer told reporters, "I have not heard from her," adding, I "want an apology.
In case you're wondering why Schumer believes he personally is entitled to a mea culpa, it is because he is credited with having enlisted the services of the pop diva for the big swearing-in ceremony. In a snapshot taken during the performance, he can be seen standing behind her and beaming like a proud papa as she appeared to belt out the familiar strains.
For her part, Beyoncé is scheduled to perform during the Super Bowl halftime show next weekend, where she'll sing one of her own hits, "Crazy in Love." The game will take place in New Orleans, where the temperature shouldn't pose a problem. Will she know the words and tune to her own song? You'd have to ask her — or her buddy, Chuck Schumer.
Is the American flag on Sarah Palin's bus a violation of federal law?

Home > Your Council > Council News archive > 2022 News Archive > Solar panels another step towards net zero
Date Published: 14 April 2022
As part of its commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030, North Kesteven District Council plans to invest in more solar panels, cutting both carbon and electricity costs.
At a time when both the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the UK government are calling for an increase in renewables, NKDC is forging ahead with its plans to reduce its carbon footprint.
The installation is expected to reduce the Council's electricity bill by as much as 25% and save over 20 tons of C02 per year.
Upon completion, the project will see 230 solar panels installed on the Kesteven Street building at an estimated cost of £150,000, drawn from the Council's 'Invest to Save' reserve – a fund specifically ear-marked for projects that reduce NKDC's long-term overheads.
With the rising cost of energy impacting all organisations as well as individuals and families, the Council faces its electricity bill more than doubling. It is expected that the solar panels could pay for themselves in less than five years.
The new panels would add to an existing, smaller, installation that currently provides a modest contribution to the Council's energy usage and carbon footprint.
Council Leader Councillor Richard Wright said: "In line with our commitment to reach net zero carbon from energy by 2030 we're expanding our use of renewables. The plan is also a prudent move financially in this time of rising energy costs."
"Investing in projects like this is vital to maintaining a strong and resilient financial footing that allows us to protect and enhance public services. Money we save on running costs is ploughed back into our wider operations, and this will cut our costs and carbon footprint for years to come.
"As well as saving the Council money, we're doing everything we can to support families in the District with the rising cost of living. In addition to our key role in distributing the Government's forthcoming energy rebate, we offer discretionary and hardship payments depending on eligibility, and encourage anyone who's struggling to contact us.
"From an environmental perspective - for those who can afford to - it might now be worth considering household solar installations. With prices for solar panels dropping, and electricity from the grid increasing in cost, the scales are tipping more in favour of solar in terms of return on investment. You'd also be cutting your own carbon footprint hugely which we all need to do."
North Kesteven District Council's Executive Board unanimously agreed the plan at a recent meeting. The proposal will now go through the planning process, but it is hoped that the panels will be operational before next winter.

China > Mainland > Bullet train collision in Zhejiang
Crash relatives demand truth
2011-07-28 01:31:35 GMT2011-07-28 09:31:35(Beijing Time) Global Times
Relatives of the victims in a bullet train crash in Wenzhou protest the handling of the aftermath at Wenzhou South Railway Station on Wednesday.
More than 100 relatives of passengers killed in Saturday's bullet train crash in Zhejiang Province protested at Wenzhou South Railway Station on Wednesday, demanding to know the "true reason" behind the accident, as Premier Wen Jiabao called for a swift and transparent investigation.
"Help us and tell us what really happened," protesters shouted, demanding direct talks with officials from the Ministry of Railways (MOR).
They held a 15-meter-long banner reading, "Disclose the true reason behind the July 23 train crash and respect the dignity of victims."
"They claimed that the bullet trains were built with advanced technology. How could lightning paralyze them so easily?" Wang Hui, who lost her husband in the accident, said to the Global Times, referring to the authorities citing lightning as the cause of the disaster.
The State Grid said on Wednesday that power supplies were normal when the accident happened, refuting speculation that a power shortage was one of the reasons behind the crash.
"I believe there was human error behind the accident. The authorities should not hide anything from the public," said Wang, who now has to raise her 1-year-old daughter alone.
After several hours, an official from the railway station emerged and promised to forward their requests to relevant departments.
The relatives also complained about the compensation plans offered by the MOR, which came up to 500,000 yuan ($77,626.50).
"Many people here were angered by the offer, especially a maximum 50,000 yuan bonus for those who signed the agreement early, which is deemed insulting," Wang said.
However, the Wenzhou government on Wednesday issued a statement denying the offer of a bonus.
Most of the protesters also insisted that compensation should be discussed after the cause of the accident is determined and the people responsible are punished.
"I don't know the cause, so how can I talk about compensation?" a relative of Xiang Weiyi, a 2-year-old girl who lost both her parents in the accident, told the Xinhua News Agency.
"If they (the girl's parents) had been rescued earlier, they would have had a chance of survival," the relative said.
By on Wednesday afternoon, family members of only four victims had signed the compensation agreement, the Global Times learned. Two bodies were cremated after their relatives held a brief funeral at a morgue in Wenzhou.
According to the Regulation on the Emergency, Rescue, Investigation and Handling of Railway Accidents that has been effective since 2007, the basic compensation for a killed passenger is 172,000 yuan, which includes compulsory insurance of 20,000 yuan.
The Beijing News said that the amount of compulsory insurance was set in 1992.
Wang Guojun, a professor at the Insurance Institute of the University of International Business and Economics, told the People's Daily that the compensation regulation is outdated compared with the rapid development of railways.
"Now the trains run much faster, which means the risks are higher. If the railways are of international standard, then compensation rules should also be upgraded," Wang said, adding that the compensation offer in Wenzhou could be improved if authorities take into account the relatives' opinions.
Hao Yansu, head of the Insurance Department of the Central University of Finance, told the People's Daily that compensation work could use the Yichun plane crash in August as a reference, in which the standard was set at 960,000 yuan for each of the deceased.
Separately, the MOR said that bullet train services in Zhejiang had returned to normal.
Since operations resumed on Monday, a total of 135 trains have traveled past the accident site, transporting 156,253 passengers, with an average occupancy of 117.6 percent, said a press release sent by the MOR to the Global Times.
However, many bloggers, including Ma Hongtao, an anchor on China Central Television, questioned the rush to resume operation before finding out the cause of Saturday's crash.
A German passenger, who previously worked in a train company, told the Global Times on condition of anonymity that he is still worried about taking the bullet train.
"But I have no choice. The plane ticket is much more expensive, and the bus is time-consuming," he said. "It is rare that a train stops because of lightning, and the signal system should not be that vulnerable either."
The official death toll stayed at 39 on Wednesday, when Wenzhou police released the identities of seven passengers killed, after disclosing 28 Tuesday.
At an executive meeting of the State Council, Premier Wen Jiabao said on Wednesday that the investigation must be open and transparent, and the results must be honest and responsible, Xinhua reported.
While offering his "deep condolences" to the victims and their families, Wen called for all-out and unswerving efforts to treat the injured and the victims' relatives well.
The premier is due to visit the crash site today, according to BBC.

I completed the homework. I found my Latte Factor a few years ago after I read Smart Women Finish Rich. I am now working on my Double Latte Factor by trying to find a reduced cell phone rate and telephone rate.
I did find this process difficult because I do not spend without thinking about it. That doesn't mean I do not have fun i.e hang-gliding this weekend.
One of my accomplishments was transfering money from my savings account at my bank to an already existing ING account. Something that I had said I was going to do awhile ago but never got to it.


Does diabetes play a role in the decline of cognitive function in people living with HIV? Researchers at Inserm Unit 897, "Epidemiology and Biostatistics Inserm Research Centre" (Inserm/University of Bordeaux) and the CIC-1401 Clinical Investigation Centre, in collaboration with Bordeaux University Hospital, have shown for the first time that there is a relationship between diabetes and neurocognitive disorders in people living with HIV, regardless of age. These disorders mainly affect functions involving memory and reactivity, and appear as early as the prediabetic stage (hyperglycaemia). This work, funded by ANRS (French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis) and carried out within the ANRS Aquitaine cohort, is published in the journal Neurology.
In 20-50% of cases, people living with HIV show mild neurocognitive disorders, even when their viral load is well controlled by antiretroviral treatment. The causes of these disorders are still incompletely known: age or "traditional" risk factors (education level, vascular risk factors such as diabetes), HIV infection or antiretroviral treatment.
In the general population, several studies have shown that there is a link between diabetes and cognitive decline in older people. Since the prevalence of diabetes in people living with HIV is 5-10%, could diabetes be an explanation for cognitive disorders? A study conducted by Prof. Geneviève Chêne's team at Inserm Unit 897, "Epidemiology and Biostatistics Inserm Research Centre" (Inserm/University of Bordeaux) and the CIC-1401 Clinical Investigation Centre, together with Bordeaux University Hospital, drew upon the ANRS Aquitaine cohort to answer this question. It reveals for the first time that diabetes is associated with neurocognitive disorders in people living with HIV, regardless of age. This study, funded by ANRS (French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis), has just been published in the journal Neurology.
The Aquitaine cohort comprises nearly 9,000 patients distributed among 13 public hospital services, all located in the Aquitaine region of France. The objective of this cohort is to study the course of HIV-1 infection, both naturally and during treatment. For this study, which was carried out at 5 clinical centres of Bordeaux University Hospital between June 2007 and November 2009, 400 people living with HIV were enrolled. They were monitored for two years. Clinical tests (detection and validation of cerebrovascular and cardiac disease, treatments employed, and activities), blood samples, and 10 tests to evaluate cognitive and motor performance were carried out.
Of these 400 people, 39 were diabetic and 33 had hyperglycaemia indicating a "prediabetic" state.
Results show that diabetic patients performed less well than nondiabetic patients in tests involving memory, executive functions, attention, psychomotor speed, language and manual dexterity. Over these two years of monitoring, the researchers observed a slight decline in executive function and memory among these patients.
For people living with HIV who had hyperglycaemia (prediabetic state), overall performance was poorer than in nondiabetic people.
Taking other parameters such as cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, overweight, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertriglyceridaemia) into consideration does not change these results.
This study demonstrates for the first time the impact of diabetes and the prediabetic state on cognitive performance in people living with HIV. "Basic research should step in to explore the physiopathological mechanisms at play. In particular, to examine objectively whether the lesions created in the small blood vessels by chronic hyperglycaemia are exacerbated by the HIV virus itself. The consequences of HIV on immune activation, as well as certain genetic predispositions, must also be examined," explains Prof. Geneviève Chêne.
These results already show that active management is needed.


Another jaw dropping, eye popping rare, and near MINT Custom Colour bass. This time a super rare Fender Jazz Bass in Sonic Blue with matching headstock, original cloth, case, strap and mutes (in a bag).
The condition of this bass defies belief. Sonic Blue is a super rare custom colour that does not age well and most of them you see will have turned to Sonic Green or similar. Not this one. It is still has its original, vibrant, light Sonic Blue similar to how it left the factory back in 1965 and if you take a look at the under the guard pics you will see there is only a slight amount of fade and just the merest hint of slight green going on in a few places.
