Home Medicine How do sugary beverages affect the liver?
How do sugary beverages affect the liver?
When people over-consume sugar-sweetened beverages, or SSBs, like soda, certain fruit juices, and some coffee and tea drinks, it can lead to many different health conditions, including obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, is the leading cause of liver disease in the United States, and it can be described as an unhealthy accumulation of liver fat that is not attributed to alcohol consumption.
And overindulging in SSBs can contribute to its development.
However, lifestyle modifications, like omitting these sugary beverages from your diet, are often recommended to patients with this condition.
"We know that SSBs are associated with NAFLD, but by cutting back, individuals can better manage the disease," said Cindy Leung, Sc.D., M.P.H., a nutrition epidemiologist at the University of Michigan.
"But to go a step further, I teamed up with Michigan Medicine liver specialist Elliot Tapper, M.D., to explore the association between these beverages and liver fat and fibrosis among healthy adults throughout the U.S.
Ultimately, we wanted to see the direct impact of consuming SSBs on developing liver disease."
The duo examined the 2017-2018 NHANES, which is a national survey conducted by the CDC.
They focused their study on healthy adults who do not have any significant medical conditions like liver disease, diabetes or cancer.
Each participant was also interviewed about key factors like their socioeconomic status and demographics.
"We restricted our study to 2,706 healthy adults with no underlying medical conditions," said Leung. "This was important because we didn't want to assess individuals who might be changing their diet as a result of another health condition.
In one of their more recent surveys, the NHANES assessed liver fat using ultrasounds, so this was extremely novel and helpful for our work."
On two separate days, the study participants completed detailed interviews about their food and drink intake.
Leung and Tapper then examined SSB consumption, measured in eight-ounce servings, in relation to liver fat and fibrosis, adjusting for socioeconomic and other health factors.
Leung noted that the more SSBs someone consumed, the higher their liver fat numbers presented.
"We observed a 'dose-response relationship' where higher consumption rates for SSBs were associated with high rates of elevated liver stiffness," she said.
"This was eye-opening because liver disease is traditionally associated with alcoholism, yet it is increasingly becoming more common in people who consume a lot of high-sugar products."
In the long run, Tapper added that the team hopes that their work will inform policy decisions about SSBs.
"We found that SSB consumption is strongly associated with liver fibrosis and fat, and these data clearly show that further studying SSB-focused interventions is warranted when looking to potentially reduce the burden of chronic liver disease," he said.
"Specifically, these data demonstrate a role for reducing sugary beverage consumption as a pillar of any intervention to reduce the burden of NAFLD."
Written by Jina Sawani.
If you care about liver health, please read studies about this painkiller may affect your liver health much more than expected and findings of many middle-aged people have this dangerous liver disease without knowing it.
For more information about liver disease prevention and treatment, please see recent studies about the key to stopping the silent killer of liver disease and results showing the cause of fatty liver disease.

Q: How to separate flask app.route order of events I have a small program that opens up an outlook email when a button is clicked on an html page. The problem is, I don't know the order of my app.route objects and the posted data from my html page.
My html (openemailJS.html):

my flask app:
import win32com.client
from flask import Flask, render_template, jsonify, json, url_for, request, redirect
import pythoncom, time, os, sys

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/',methods = ['POST', 'GET'])
def index():
   if request.method == 'POST':
       emailid = request.args.get('nm')
       time.sleep(1)
       pythoncom.CoInitialize()
       outlook = win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNameSpace('MAPI')
       inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
       sentbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(5)
       all_sentbox = sentbox.Items
       all_inbox = inbox.Items
       tryopen = outlook.GetItemFromID(emailid)
       tryopen.display()
       return render_template('openemailJS.html')
       print(emailid)
   else:
        time.sleep(1)
        emailid = request.args.get('nm')
        #emailid = request.form.get('nm')
        time.sleep(1)
        pythoncom.CoInitialize()
        outlook = win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch("Outlook.Application").GetNameSpace('MAPI')
        inbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(6)
        sentbox = outlook.GetDefaultFolder(5)
        all_sentbox = sentbox.Items
        all_inbox = inbox.Items
        tryopen = outlook.GetItemFromID(emailid)
        tryopen.display()
        print(user)
        return render_template('openemailJS.html')

I think I need to separate the ' return render_template('openemailJS.html') 'into its own app.route('/something here/') but I don't know how to do that.
Currently, when I run it how it is, the emailid does not get posted before the def index(): runs, causing a 'parameter not found' where it should be. If I comment out everything but the 'return render_template', run the program, and then uncommment it out and click the button, then it gets posted as it should.

A: I added an if statement to retrieve the data only if the form is posted. I still think it makes sense to render the template first before doing anything, but I don't know.

More Nova Scotians die because of COVID-19
Today, January 31, Nova Scotia is reporting 10 new hospital admissions and nine discharges.
Nova Scotia is also reporting three deaths related to COVID-19:
a man in his 70s in Central Zone
a woman in her 70s in Western Zone
a man in his 80s in Western Zone.
"It truly saddens me to have to report the loss of three more Nova Scotians. My thoughts are with their families and loved ones as they navigate through this tremendously difficult time," said Premier Tim Houston. "I hope they find some comfort in the warmth extended to them by their neighbours and fellow Nova Scotians. And I hope that Nova Scotians continue to come together and do all we can to prevent this from happening to another family."
There are 93 people in hospital who were admitted due to COVID-19 and are receiving specialized care in a COVID-19 designated unit.
That includes 15 people in ICU. The age range of those in hospital is 1-100 years old.
The average age is 68, and the average length of stay of people admitted to hospital due to COVID-19 is 7.6 days.
"Today, we are extending our sympathies to the family and friends of three more Nova Scotians who have lost their lives to this disease," said Dr. Robert Strang, Nova Scotia's Chief Medical Officer of Health. "I know that Nova Scotians are tired, but let this remind us all of how important it is that we remain diligent and follow public health measures so that no other family has to endure this loss."
Of the 93 people in hospital, 89 were admitted during the Omicron wave.
The vaccination status of those in hospital is:
18 (19.4 per cent) people have had a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine
54 (58.1 per cent) are fully vaccinated (two doses)
1 (1.1 per cent) is partially vaccinated
20 (21.5 per cent) are unvaccinated.
It is important to note that less than 10 per cent of Nova Scotians are unvaccinated.
There are also two other groups of people in hospital related to COVID-19:
116 people who were identified as positive upon arrival at hospital but were admitted for another medical reason, or were admitted for COVID-19 but no longer require specialized care
142 people who contracted COVID-19 after being admitted to hospital.
Vaccine Coverage:
As of January 30, 2,107,431 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered.
Of those, 91.2 per cent of Nova Scotians have received their first dose, and 83.7 per cent have received their second dose.
As well, 53.5 per cent of Nova Scotians 18 and older have received a booster dose, and 5.7 per cent have booked a booster dose appointment.
Cases and Testing:
On January 30, Nova Scotia Health Authority (NSHA) labs completed 1,721 tests.
An additional 256 new lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 are being reported.
There are 98 cases in Central Zone, 70 cases in Eastern Zone, 35 cases in Northern Zone and 53 cases in Western Zone.
From January 29 and 30, 31 of the 928 positive lab results were repeat positives.
As of today, there are an estimated 3,913 active cases of COVID-19 in Nova Scotia.


Interstate 65 South at the 17 Mile Marker has the left lane open for traffic.
Motorists are urged to use caution when travelling through the area due to the right lane remaining closed for cleanup.
The right lane of the roadway in that area will remain closed for several hours as the cleanup from this morning's fire continues.
This morning at approximately 6:40 am, The Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg received a 911 call that a semi-tractor and trailer was parked on the emergency strip at the pre-mentioned location with a trailer tire that was on fire. When troopers arrived the semi-trailer was completely engulfed in flames and a grass fire had started near the interstate.
Monroe Township and Sellersburg Fire were called to the scene to extinguish the flames. At this time Interstate #65 is closed south bound at Exit #16. All traffic is being re-routed to U.S. #31. The interstate will be closed for several hours for removal and clean up of the fire.
The semi-tractor and trailer was hauling scrap metals and no one was injured.

Military Launching Preemptive Strikes Against Mental Illness
Genetic testing and brain scans for new recruits attempt to cut out PTSD-prone soldiers
By Clay Dillow | Published Nov 24, 2009 3:49 AM
With nearly 1.8 million U.S. soldiers having rotated through Iraq and Afghanistan and another troop escalation expected in coming weeks, researchers are doing double-time to define the causes of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to better serve troops returning from war. With two wars going and no end in sight, scientists have quite an abundance of subjects on which to carry out their research.
Scientists and armed forces medical personnel have long been baffled by PTSD's seemingly arbitrary manifestation; a group of warfighters can experience the same battle with the same degree of intensity, yet some are able to continue their lives normally while others are not. Often PTSD can simmer below the surface, becoming symptomatic several years after the initial trauma. But while there's no cure for PTSD, prior studies have shown that strategies like having a reliable social net and a good coping strategy can be effective in warding off the symptoms of PTSD. The problem is identifying which soldiers may be quietly harboring PTSD without knowing it.
Therefore, the idea is not to cure PTSD outright but to identify predictors of the disorder — possibly genetic biomarkers or elevated stress hormone levels — that indicate a soldier's predisposition toward the disorder before he or she enters combat. Once understood, the presence of PTSD predictors won't allow soldiers to shirk combat duty, but it will give the armed services a chance to mitigate the effects of PTSD by getting soldiers into treatments early rather than waiting for the outward signs — outbursts, nightmares, flashbacks, social withdrawal — to manifest themselves.
At Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base in California, soldiers bound for combat are undergoing a battery of tests ranging from biomarker analysis to psychiatric image association tests in which soldiers are shown pictures of various stressful situations while their stress levels are measured. Another study by University of Texas researchers followed soldiers deployed from nearby Fort Bragg through their combat experiences. Soldiers also provided a DNA sample, an MRI brain scan and a CO2 inhalation test to evaluate their reactions to stress.
Unsurprisingly, preliminary findings in the UT study show that soldiers who reacted strongly to the carbon dioxide test also showed more prevalent symptoms of PTSD, which is exactly the kind of predictor researchers are looking for. It's a very military-esque way of dealing with an issue: assess the situation, locate the source of the problem, then contain its ability to render harm to our side. Given the narrow likelihood of either war coming to a close in the foreseeable future, hopefully this research will at least help more troops returning home return to normalcy as well.

Book Review: Peter King's Flying High
July 13, 2015 ·	by Matt P (movingtheriver.com, soundsofsurprise.com) ·	in Book Reviews, Peter King	· Leave a comment
The swing kings Duke Ellington and Count Basie had The Cotton Club, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and the legendary US beboppers had The Five Spot, Birdland and The Three Deuces. But a certain generation of UK jazz greats learnt their chops in the likes of The White Hart in Acton and The Bun Shop in Surbiton!
It takes guts to try and play the alto sax like Charlie Parker, especially if you're a 'white boy' (King's words) from Kingston in Surrey. He has carved out an illustrious career as one of the UK's foremost proponents of seat-of-the-pants, exciting bebop-tinged sax playing…at some cost. 'Flying High' is a gripping, unflinching account of a jazz life lived at the centre of the UK scene, fraught with uncertainties and but also triumphs. It's also a brutally honest book about the obsessions and insecurities of a top-draw jazz musician.
King decided to become a jazz musician when he saw 'The Benny Goodman Story' in the cinema – a decision which came as quite a shock to his family. As he memorably puts it, 'I would be a professional jazz clarinet player, shit or bust'! He studied his favourite records and embarked on a period of intense woodshedding. This was way before there was any formal jazz education as such; players would learn by studying records and teaching themselves how to read music. King got hold of a copy of 'Jazz: Its Evolution and Essence' by Andre Hodier and studied the solos of Charlie Parker, Lester Young and Louis Armstrong.
He met and played with British jazz legends like Ronnie Scott, Tubby Hayes, Joe Harriott, Don Rendell, Gordon Beck and Phil Seaman. Seaman in particular provides some very funny anecdotes, mainly unprintable here. King performed at the Ronnie Scott's opening night on 30th October 1959 with Jack Parnell on drums and observed the influx of American stars Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Benny Golson and Ben Webster at first hand. He also worked with the troubled but brilliant bebop pianist Bud Powell, a recollection that makes up the book's most gripping section, perfectly capturing the terror of sharing a stage with one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time – 'I was in a state of bliss, but tinged with abject terror.' King reports that Powell would simply repeat 'What do you want to play, Pete?' with a sweet smile. King also became great friends and performed with legendary drummers Elvin Jones and Max Roach.
His writing style is forthright with, at times, a shocking candidness. The accounts of his escalating drug use and various attempts to get off heroin are harrowing. He's particularly good at characterising the pressures on jazz musicians to improvise from scratch in front of an audience, night after night. But his sense of humour is never far from the surface, especially when discussing the machinations of the record industry. He struggled through the Fusion era of the early-'70s and Jazz Revival of the mid-1980s, watching on as contemporaries and young bucks cleaned up with the major labels, but survived thanks in no small part to the love of a good woman and a belief that his talent would prevail.
'Flying High' is one of the great jazz autobiographies and deserves a space on the shelf alongside Duke Ellington's 'Music Is My Mistress', Art Pepper's 'Straight Life' and Mingus's 'Beneath The Underdog'.
'Flying High' is available now from Northway Books.

Ohlone College Men's Basketball Honors
Ohlone College freshmen Kirmarje Trent and Aidan Graham earned basketball honors in the Coast-North Conference.
Trent, an Antioch High graduate, made second-team all-conference and Graham, of Brisbane, Australia, was an honorable mention pick.
Trent and Graham carved out strong seasons while being the focal point of the opposition. Trent led the young Renegades in scoring with 15.6 points a game and in assists with 4.4 a game. Graham averaged 10.8 points and had a team-high 5.2 rebounds a game.
"Trent was an explosive scorer and was very efficient," Ohlone coach Steve Kline said. "He shot a very good percentage and had a good assist-to-turnover ratio. Aidan was playing out of position for us. He's probably a 3 or a 4 and he was playing a 5."
Kline added that Trent and Graham were "the only true scorers we had, and every team knew it and they were able to score anyway."

Nobel Laureate Professor Wole Soyinka has called on the International Community to intervene in the series of herdsmen killings across the country to avoid a repeat of the Rwanda genocide in Nigeria.
This is not the first time Professor Soyinka is making this call. He had earlier warned that the country risked genocide if the Federal Government fails to put an end to these killings.
He also asked the Federal Government to take a decisive action to end what he described as the ongoing ethnic cleansing in some parts of the country.
The Nobel Laureate spoke about the killing on Thursday morning when he led a delegation of Association of Nigerian Authors to a meeting with the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, at the Government House in Makurdi, the state capital.
At the meeting which comes few days after two Catholic Priests and 17 parishioners killed by suspected herdsmen, were buried, Governor Ortom informed the literary icon that three persons were again killed along Naka road while returning from the burial of the priests.
On hearing this, Professor Soyinka faulted the Federal Government's response to the killings by suspected herdsmen, which he described as an ethnic cleansing agenda.
He accused the Federal Government of treating the killings like a 'malignant tumour with vaseline'.
At the end of the meeting, both leaders called for a quick military response, backed by the international community which can effectively end the herdsmen menace across the country.
The visit of the Nobel Laureate and ANA to the state is to commiserate with the state governor and people of the state over the killings there.


I try fairly hard to keep track of where I get maps from, but with so many random forums I'm on (+ the recent upsurge in maps being uploaded to Facebook) sometimes I get a little fuzzy on the where and who.
Probably fun for online play. If I were gonna use a weapon-mutator for this I'd go with something not too lethal to make it fair, like the Goa'uld staff weapons.

Reuters: 'Historic mistake' by Trump – But climate action will go on
By Laurie Goering, Reuters
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to pull his country out of the Paris Agreement on climate change will not derail action to curb one of the most serious problems facing the planet, political leaders, scientists, activists and other experts vowed on Thursday.
But they warned that the decision could slow the pace of a global switch to clean energy, putting more lives and billions of dollars in investment at risk as climate change impacts – from worsening droughts and floods to more rapid sea-level rise – pick up pace.
It also is likely to further erode U.S. leadership in the world, with China and the European Union expected to take the lead on global climate action – and will cost the United States jobs in surging clean energy businesses, they said.
But with much of the on-the-ground action on climate change taking place at the city and state level, as well as by companies, Trump's national decision may have less impact than expected, mayors and economists said.
What remains unclear is how much influence the Trump administration will now have on how the Paris Agreement is put into action, starting in 2018, given that the United States' exit from the accord cannot be immediate, experts said.
Here are key views on the decision from around the world:
ANDREW STEER, PRESIDENT, WORLD RESOURCES INSTITUTE
"Make no mistake: this is a reckless decision that is bad for the world and even worse for the United States … President Trump has flushed away years of hard work and skillful diplomacy, leaving Americans and future generations less secure and more isolated in the face of this great global challenge."
RAHM EMANUEL, MAYOR OF CHICAGO
"Reneging on the Paris Agreement is shortsighted and does not make climate change any less real. From reducing our energy use to expanding public transit, Chicago will not skirt our responsibility to act."
ANNE HIDALGO, MAYOR OF PARIS
"No matter what decision is made by the White House, cities are honoring their responsibilities to implement the Paris Agreement. There is no alternative for the future of our planet."
MICHAEL BRUNE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, SIERRA CLUB
"Donald Trump has made a historic mistake which our grandchildren will look back on with stunned dismay."
DAVE REAY, CHAIR IN CARBON MANAGEMENT, UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH
"The United States will come to rue this day … Climate change knows no borders, its impacts are blind to national flags. If global efforts to limit warming fail then we are all in trouble. From climate change, Mr. President, you can run but you can't hide."
CLOVER MOORE, LORD MAYOR OF SYDNEY
"This summer broke countless heat records in Sydney. We've seen coral bleaching in the harbor and the clock is ticking on climate change. We want governments working with our cities, supporting us, having policies of their own – but if not, we need them to get out of the way and let us do what has to be done."
PAUL COOK, HEAD OF ADVOCACY, UK-BASED CHARITY TEARFUND
"We are seeing over 16 million people facing starvation in the third year of drought in South Sudan and Ethiopia … It is disappointing that President Trump does not see the opportunity for economic growth which clean energy presents – emerging economies such as China and India are discovering how renewable energy can be a catalyst for a booming economy, creating green jobs and flourishing businesses, while reducing carbon emissions."
FRED KRUPP, PRESIDENT, ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND
"By abandoning our pledge, the president is lining up with Syria and Nicaragua, the only nations in the world that have refused to sign the agreement. He is giving away our good jobs to Europe and China. He is weakening our position in business deals and trade negotiations to come. And he is risking a global economic backlash that will hurt American workers and businesses even more."
TAYLOR DIMSDALE, HEAD OF RESEARCH AT E3G, AN ORGANIZATION PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
"Paris was a great deal for America. Pulling out of the agreement would put the U.S. at a disadvantage in the multi-trillion-dollar market for clean energy technologies, while at the same time making the U.S. look untrustworthy to its closest allies."
JAMES RUBIN, PARTNER IN INTERNATIONAL LAW FIRM DORSEY & WHITNEY, FORMERLY IN U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
"The decision to leave the Paris accords is essentially a political statement, and one that is completely unnecessary and very ill-advised … U.S. continued participation in the accord would basically come at no actual cost. The cost, however, for withdrawal would be considerable – great harm to U.S. diplomacy, trade and the global environment."
MARK MASLIN, PROFESSOR OF CLIMATOLOGY, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
"We have entered a world of fear and ignorance – when science and well-being of humanity is ignored by the President of the United States as it does not fit his world view … It shows a President out of touch with the exciting clean tech innovations and developments in his own country which could lead the world to a greener, cleaner, safer future."
GREGOR ROBERTSON, MAYOR OF VANCOUVER
"Vancouver has the fastest-growing, most diverse economy in Canada, and at the same time we're successfully cutting our climate pollution. We're attracting world-leading businesses and top talent thanks in part to our focus on building a 100 percent renewably powered future. I stand in solidarity with U.S. mayors as they continue working to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, regardless of the reckless actions against climate at the federal level."
ANDREAS GOLDTHAU, DIRECTOR OF THE CENTRE OF INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC POLICY, ROYAL HOLLOWAY, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON
"The Trump administration pulling out of the 2015 Paris accord is bad news for the climate. But the United States leaving the deal altogether is much better than staying in and pushing for renegotiation. This would have meant years of deadlock and lingering, with no global action on climate policy. Leadership will now come from the EU and China."
STEVE ADLER, MAYOR OF AUSTIN, TEXAS
"Austin will not stop fighting climate change. Worldwide, cities will lead in achieving climate treaty goals because so much of what's required happens at the local level."
NEIL THORNS, DIRECTOR OF ADVOCACY, CATHOLIC AID AGENCY CAFOD
"The plummeting cost of renewable energy, the growth of jobs in the renewable energy industry, and the unequivocal call for action from people worldwide mean that the momentum in the fight to protect our common home is unstoppable."
GABI HEGERL, CLIMATE SCIENCE PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH
"I fear for the future of our children. Even more, I fear for the future of children in developing countries, who have contributed little to the problem and will feel the impacts first. Where will they go?"
NICK DEARDEN, DIRECTOR, GLOBAL JUSTICE NOW
"(The United States) is now washing its hands of the situation while billions of the world's most vulnerable peoples will face the fatal consequences of rising sea levels, drought, desertification and failing crops. … Global leaders should be refusing to enter into trade negotiations with the United States as a proportionate response to this supremely reckless act of climate vandalism."
JONATHAN BAMBER, DIRECTOR OF THE BRISTOL GLACIOLOGY CENTRE, UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL
"The momentum is so great and supported by so many nations that it will be no more than an unwelcome bump in the road … Individual states such as California will carry on doing what the rest of the world knows is the right thing to do on combating climate change."
KELLE LOUAILLIER, PRESIDENT, CORPORATE ACCOUNTABILITY INTERNATIONAL
"Governments around the world must see the U.S. for what it is – a puppet of the fossil fuel industry."
FREDERIK DAHLMANN, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF GLOBAL ENERGY, WARWICK BUSINESS SCHOOL
"The President's decision ignores the very significant shifts occurring in the global energy system. Combined with other key economies' desire to accelerate rather than to stop these trends, politically the United States will find itself in growing isolation, and face accusations of scientific ignorance and moral irresponsibility."

A few years ago I wrote a post titled The Elegance of a Handwritten Note shortly after receiving not one (1), but two (2) handwritten notes in the same week. And, more special than the sentiment of each of the author's words, was the fact they each took the time to think about what they wanted to express and handwrite their notes.
Ever since that post I have had the idea of using different photos I have taken over the years and creating a line of greeting cards. They wouldn't be fancy, but the photos would somehow mirror the sender's thoughts behind their notes…..whether it be a simple "thanks," "just thinking of you," "congratulations" or whatever the purpose may be. I even thought about coming up with a unique package which would make them special enough to be given away as a gift set.
And so, after taking early retirement this year from Coca-Cola, I decided to bring my idea to life and created "The Art of a Handwritten Note" Greeting Card Collection. With eleven (11) unique designs available, each note card measures 3 1/2″ x 5″ and is blank inside for personalization. Each set consists of eight (8) cards/envelopes neatly packed in a drawstring organza bag.
This first collection (shown below) may be purchased on-line through my Etsy Shop at: DRPHOTOGSTUDIO . I welcome you to pop-over to my store and take a look around.
I hope you enjoy this collection…….please feel free to send questions via the comment box or via e-mail (contact info on home page).

Giant Freakin Robot > Sci-Fi
Shocker Of The Day: Ghostbusters Wants Melissa McCarthy In The Lead
By Brent McKnight | 5 years ago
This should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying even a modicum of attention, but Melissa McCarthy is reportedly in talks to star in director Paul Feig's upcoming, oft-discussed, frequently ranted about Ghostbusters reboot.
This bit of news, broken by The Hollywood Reporter, won't shock any of you out there because McCarthy is a name that has been bandied about since the first moment we learned that a female-fronted revamp is in store. Not to mention that she starred in Feig's last two directorial efforts, Bridesmaids and The Heat, as well as his next, Spy.
Scheduling could become something of an issue here however, as the Tammy star is all kinds of busy at the moment, but they're trying to work around that. Not only does she have a commitment to the CBS sitcom Mike & Molly, which I honestly forgot was still on the air (it's hard to have a show without one of the title characters, isn't it?), she's set to star in something called Michelle Darnell. While we've never heard of that, you can bet she won't back out because her husband, Ben Falcone, is the director. According to the report, that project is going to shoot in March, so they have an eye on possibly getting Ghostbusters rolling around June.
Though this choice seems obvious, that doesn't mean it's bad. Part of why McCarthy has been mentioned so many times is because she's damn funny and has a fantastic working relationship with Feig. At least they appear to, and as much as they've worked together recently, you hope they do. It's easy to imagine her as the wildcard member of the team, in one of those beige jumpsuits, running after ghosts, causing all kinds of ruckus.
There has been a lot of talk about other potential actresses, and names like Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, Lizzie Caplan, Amy Schumer, Rebel Wilson, and damn near every actress (and dudes) in Hollywood have been mentioned in the same breath at Ghostbusters. What's not clear is who has met with the creative team, who is on a dream wish list, and who has just mentioned that they're fans of Ghostbusters in passing and someone overheard. Even McCarthy is still preliminary, as the two sides are just talking and working out details at this point.
We'll see how all of this works out eventually, but they're working on a backup plan. THR also learned that Workaholics Jillian Bell and Cecily Strong from Saturday Night Live are scheduled to meet with Feig soon.
I still have wildly mixed feelings about this whole thing. The idea of Feig, a director I like, teaming with any of these actresses, most of whom I also like, for a paranormal comedy sounds awesome. It's just the Ghostbusters angle I have an issue with. Over all the years that there's been talk of a Ghostbusters 3, none of the ideas have ever been good. (And if those rumors we heard recently about this reboot making the team a sort of covert government agency, like Men in Black, that also sounds super shitty.) This just feels like starting over because you can't come up with any good ideas. Why not just let it rest and do something else?
I question whether or not the world actually needs another Ghostbusters movie, reboot, sequel, or otherwise. Then again, when has that ever stopped Hollywood from doing anything? For good or ill—we certainly hope good—this new Ghostbusters is happening. Do you think McCarthy is the right choice?

Q: AWS client VPN endpoint - some client ip's do not allow access to resources I am using AWS client VPN endpoint with 2 VPC's:

*

*VPN VPC (10.100.0.0/16)

*App VPC (10.200.0.0/16)

*VPC peering between the 2 VPC and Route table rules to communicate both.

My resources in the 'App VPC' are hosted in subnets that have route rules to the peering connection to the 'VPN VPC'.
The Security Group used by the resources in 'App VPC' allows traffic from 10.100.0.0/16
The problem is when I connect to the VPN and I get assigned IP's such as 10.100.20.132, 10.100.20.162, 10.100.20.165, 10.100.20.167 it is not able to reach the resources.
But when I get assigned IP's such as 10.100.20.2, 10.100.20.3, 10.100.20.6, 10.100.20.34 it does work.
I ran a few reachability Analyzer to validate traffic from the VPN is able to reach the resources which always shows success with the trace:
'VPC peering' -> 'NACL' -> 'SG(10.100.0.0/16)' -> 'ENI' - 'Instance'
Network is not my field, any insight on where to look is appreciated.

A: My mistake was in the routing tables from the 'Associations' subnets.
I have 2 subnets, for one I did add the route for CIDR block of the 'App VPC' in the Route Table:
Subnet 1

*

*10.200.0.0/16 -> VPC peering(VPN to APP)

*10.100.0.0/16 -> local

*0.0.0.0/0 -> igw

But I forgot to do it in the Route Table of the second Associated subnet.
Subnet 2

*

*10.100.0.0/16 -> local

*0.0.0.0/0 -> igw

I just added the missing route and it worked.

PALO ALTO (KCBS) — Stanford researchers have released a surprising new study revealing that California is sitting on top of a vast water resource that we didn't know was there, and it could hold as much as 700 trillion gallons.
But, water experts say the problem with all that water may be getting to it.
"A lot of this new groundwater that researchers have found is pretty deep, and some of it's salty, and it may be pretty hard to get to," water expert, and President of the Pacific Institute Peter Gleick told KCBS.
Desalination of the resource would likely be cheaper than cleaning up ocean water, but aside from being deep down, the water is also far from urban areas.
The search for other resources below the surface could make the water unusable, according to Gleick.
"Some of these groundwater resources may be at risk from oil and gas operations, from reinjection of the wastewater," Gleick said.
Farmers for the most part won't have the funds to pump that water up to the surface.
"The real question that this study doesn't answer is how much ultimately might actually be usable," Gleick said.

A sense of family led Haaroon from the football pitch to life in the construction industry – and he's flourishing.
Haaroon Belaid, Institute of Technology, Barking & Dagenham College, UK
Living with his mum and two little sisters, semi-professional footballer, Haaroon, had to weigh up his love of the game with supporting his family, and ultimately chose the latter.
Luckily, a curiosity for the mechanics behind buildings was just as attention-grabbing as football. Enter YouTube – staying up into the small hours to scour the furthest corners of its construction documentary collection, Haaroon's part-time passion became a full-time calling.
It's a different path to the one he imagined, but it's no less rewarding. Haaroon now studies the Built Environment at Barking & Dagenham College in the UK, a college where ISG transformed an old classroom block into one of the country's first Institute of Technology centres, taking education into the future of robotics, data and film production. ISG's relationship with the college has also resulted in building careers, with three students, including Haaroon, joining ISG to learn as they study.
Football isn't over for Haaroon but his future is his family, and he's also creating one in construction. "The future?" he asks. "I'd love to grow at ISG and manage a top-notch project like Barking & Dagenham College."
Every year over 12,000 students, like Haaroon, come through the doors of Barking & Dagenham College in the UK, to embark on the next chapter of their lives.
The college is a classic example of one that is central to its local community.
"It's hugely important," says Haaroon, who is studying the Built Environment at the college while learning his trade with ISG on its University College London Gower Street project – a role which came about as a result of ISG's project to deliver Barking & Dagenham College's brand-new Institute of Technology.
"It provides the most valuable thing anyone can receive – knowledge. It also gives young people like me an opportunity to start a career in an industry they're passionate about."
"The new space looks amazing as you come into the building – it's decked out in the college colours, and it just makes you want to learn."
- Haaroon Belaid
The college is now better equipped to cater for students like Haaroon, with its new high-tech learning hub – the last piece of the puzzle for the college's collection of buildings, and a scheme awarded to ISG via the influential Pagabo framework, which saw it transform an old classroom block into a state-of-the-art learning hub.
The all-new Institute of Technology, which will take the college's education offering into the future of robotics, data, engineering and TV and film production, has created new teaching spaces, high-tech laboratories, open-plan study areas and a café – it's a world away from the portacabins that housed students when the old block became redundant.
The acoustics have been upgraded, an issue of vital importance to the college prior to the start of the project. Externally, new glazing and cladding has been installed along with an eye-catching entrance area, which Haaroon believes is the perfect environment for learning. "The new space looks amazing as you come into the building – it's decked out in the college colours, and it just makes you want to learn," he says.
The college remained fully operational throughout the 30-week project, maintaining its curriculum – a factor which presented a number of challenges. "There were electrical services in the building that linked to other campuses at the college, which was a real challenge, and there was also damp present in the screed so we couldn't lay the floor," explains Dominic Camilleri, divisional director for ISG.
Collaboration with the supply chain got the team through those challenges, and it was another close relationship – this time with the college – that created learning opportunities for students, and in turn, additional value. For Barking & Dagenham College, it wasn't just about a new building – it was important for its students to be engaged and provided with learning opportunities.
"We worked with the college to give them not just a building to use, but to give students a chance to see what construction is all about."
- Dominic Camilleri, Divisional Director
Haaroon is one of three Barking & Dagenham College students to have felt that impact. Having been recruited off the back of the project, he is now learning the ropes with ISG as he completes his studies at the college.
"We worked with the college to give them not just a building to use, but to give students a chance to see what construction is all about," continues Dominic. "This wasn't just about pipes and wires, floors and ceilings, it was about showcasing the other side of construction – BIM modelling, 3D walkthroughs and virtual reality."
Senior project manager for ISG, John Lattimore, continues: "The relationship we have with the college has been fundamental. Packaging that up with the apprenticeships we've offered shows that we can deliver a fantastic project, and also go the extra mile. That's what's been great about this project – the impact beyond the building."
"The college provides the most valuable thing anyone can receive – knowledge. It also gives young people like me an opportunity to start a career in an industry they're passionate about."
It's a partnership which will continue, with the college signed up as one of ISG's Alliance Partners, who have all committed to collaborate and share knowledge into the future.
For Haaroon, he's relishing starting his new career: "At the moment I'm focused on learning from my studies and my time on site, but in the future, I'd love to grow at ISG and manage a top-notch project like Barking & Dagenham College."

The cytoplasmic domain of the integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 beta subunit: sites required for binding to intercellular adhesion molecule 1 and the phorbol ester-stimulated phosphorylation site.
We have defined the regions of the cytoplasmic domain of the leukocyte integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) that are required for active binding of its extracellular domain to intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). The NH2-terminal 28 amino acids in the cytoplasmic domain are dispensable, but a segment of 5 amino acids including three contiguous threonines (758-760) and Phe 766 in the COOH-terminal third of the cytoplasmic domain are required for binding to ICAM-1. Mutation and phosphoamino acid analysis show that Ser 756 is the major residue phosphorylated in response to phorbol ester. Furthermore, multiple mutations demonstrate that serine phosphorylation can be dissociated from phorbol ester-stimulated binding of LFA-1 to ICAM-1. The sites we have defined are previously unremarked, are well conserved in the beta 1, beta 3, and beta 7 integrin subunits, and may be of broad importance in regulating adhesiveness of integrins.

Electricity utility MSEDCL blocks Metro Rail's solar power plan
February 16, 2017 Anand Gupta
Mahametro's plan to meet 65% of Nagpur Metro Rail's energy needs through solar power has received a jolt as state-run discom MSEDCL has refused to relax its norms for the project. Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has asked the two agencies to hold a meeting and find a way out. MERC has also told Mahametro to file its say justifying its case as being unique and requiring a special dispensation considering the intent and purpose of the solar roof top policy.
The date of meeting between Mahametro and MSEDCL is to be finalized. A senior Mahametro official said that it would be held in the coming week.
Solarization is vital for the success of the Metro Rail project. The cost of MSEDCL power as per the Commission's latest tariff order is Rs7.33 per unit. This is exclusive of fuel surcharge and electricity duty. On the other hand, NMRCL can get solar power at between Rs5 and Rs6 per unit. The effective difference between the two tariffs is over Rs2 per unit, which is quite high.
Mahamemetro wanted to go for a mix of solar energy and MSEDCL power under the latter's solar roof top policy. The maximum load permitted under the policy is 1MW. However, Mahametro plans to generate 14MW through solar power and buy 9MW from MSEDCL. The discom has told MERC that as Mahametro's solar capacity was more than 1MW, it had to be considered as a captive plant.
"If the electricity cost is low then the fares will be low leading to higher ridership. This will make the project viable and is therefore in public interest. Moreover, solar energy is green and will lead to lower pollution. Foreign lenders have readily granted a loan to the project because of this aspect," a Mahametro official told TOI.
The solarization project has already been delayed due to heavy workload of the commission. "Our tender documents are ready since months. MERC did not accept our petition for two months saying that it was dealing with power tariff petitions of the power distribution companies," the official said.

Kimberly Bunker, BSN, RN, LNC is a legal nurse consultant at Southern Cross Mediation & Legal Nurse Consulting, LLC. She resides in Alpharetta, Ga., with her husband Don, and children Sara, 11, and Taylor, 8. Bunker is the incoming president of the Atlanta chapter of AALNC.
Legal Nurse Consultant Kimberly Bunker on Legal Nurse Consultant Practice & Nurse Education.
A: BSN, RN, LNC and Registered Mediator with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution.
Q: How many years clinical nursing practice do you have?
Q: What types of clinical nursing experience do you have?
A: Women's health and OB, surgical intensive care with the majority of patients being trauma and vascular patients and a smaller population of neurological patients, mobile intensive care, RN/EMT, ED and a short time in home health care.
Q: What is your current clinical focus?
A: Currently my clinical focus is on teaching. I am a trauma nurse instructor for the TNCC and the Course for Advanced Trauma Nursing, as well as ACLS.
A: No, my current focus is teaching others the clinical practice of beginning and advanced trauma nursing practices and concepts.
Q: How many years have you worked in LNC practice?
Q: In what LNC specialty areas do you work?
A: Personal injury, product liability and the general transfer of expert knowledge for appropriate record representation regardless of the legal issue.
Q: Are you a consulting expert and in what area?
A: Yes — trauma and intensive care concepts of injury, physiological response to injury and management of clinical symptoms and syndromes singularly and in the presence of co-morbidities and how the nursing standard of care is applied by the nurse in this role.
A: In 2004 I realized that I wanted to do more with my professional license to affect our healthcare environment and process by expanding into another arena where my knowledge and experience could serve as a foundation to advocate for patients and ultimately improve the outcomes of those patients who are entrusted to us. So, I began to research… and discovered legal nurse consulting and all the roles that provided the opportunity to do just that — and the future opportunities continue to grow with today's technology.
Q: What interested you most about legal nurse consulting?
A: The opportunity to transfer expert knowledge and provide a service that supports improvement of patient outcomes; the entrepreneurial aspect of forming relationships with my clients and working as a team on each project and creating a business that has a purpose — a service-based vision and significant social and global value.
A: The wonderful opportunity to work with other professions within the healthcare environment…. As an RN I, as well as all RNs, have the privilege of carrying the trust that we are given by our communities that lends us the authority to use our inherent professional value to influence practices, policies and legislation.
A: I had recently moved to Georgia and wasn't working clinically at the time. I began exploring the legal nurse role and decided to take the course, so for me it was a focused effort on transitioning to a legal nurse role. It was shortly after completion of the course and start of my business that I decided I wanted to go back to the ED environment to augment my expert role options.
Q: How hard was it for you to get started in LNC practice? What barriers did you face?
A: The only barrier I faced and continue to face is the lack of training in business and technology. Given today's business environment, technology is a must.
A: I completed the Canyon College Legal Nurse Consulting course. The national course wasn't in place when I started, but the course was the most comprehensive at the time.
A: It was a PI and premises liability case that had resulted in spinal cord injuries and life changing results.
A: A minor who received a depressed frontal skull fracture and because of the area of injury she is forever a different child — unable to function at the level where she once did. To look at her there is no obvious physical disability or injury, but she is forever altered.
A: A case of medical and nursing malpractice where a woman fell twice in the same shift as a result of overmedication and inappropriate monitoring. The second fall resulted in a significant facial bruise and subdural hematoma. There was inappropriate follow-up by the nurse and physician and the woman subsequently died hours later as result of the bleed and the inappropriate response to her injury.
The real difficulty comes in seeing the bias of us as caregivers, myself certainly not excluded, that affects our attitudes, which subsequently affects decisions made at the bedside — sometimes not for the better of the patient, which is why we see litigation.
Professionals make unintended mistakes but it's how we accept responsibility and address the problem that truly reveals our professional character and earns the trust of our communities as well as other professionals and professions. We must protect and honor that.
A: Yes, I have begun to recruit subcontractors. It is the other path besides technology that will create true growth for my company.
A: Entrepreneurial freedom, serving the vision of Southern Cross Mediation & Legal Nurse Consulting, seeing the results of faithfully sticking to the vision and philosophy in case outcomes, client relationships and community service, and influencing our professional value and expanding our influence throughout the healthcare community.
Q: How often do you market your LNC services?
A: Not often; I have a referral-based business.
A: Time, money and discerning what is or isn't most effective.
A: I am currently looking at multimedia-based options.
A: The strong transfer of knowledge that prepares my clients to represent the case in front of them.
Q: Where do you see yourself as an LNC in 5 years?
A: With a legal nurse consulting firm that is the go-to firm for expertise, relationship and service.
A: Yes, "Reflections of a Newbie" in the fall of 2007, and I am presenting to a regional RN group in Winston-Salem on the aspects of practice within the LNC profession.
A: Mediation, legal nursing's influence on patient outcomes, improvement and organizational performance and global health for women and children.

Watch House IV (1992) online for free full movie and streaming film in English with HD quality. Roger Cobb (William Katt) is now married to Kelly (Terri Treas), has a daughter, Laurel (Melissa Clayton), and often visits the old Cobb family house after his father has died and is located on a deserted and desolate shoreline. Roger's cynical step-brother Burke (Scott Burkholder) has been pestering him to sell the family mansion, edging Roger to break his oath with their father. Roger is soon killed in a bad car accident that leaves Laurel requiring a wheelchair, leaving the house over to Kelly. Burke is still unable to convince Kelly to sell the house. Unknown to Kelly, Burke wants to sell the house so that a seedy Mafia group can use the property to dump illegal waste. The head of the Mafia group suffers from dwarfism and suffers intense phlegm, but proves to be very powerful and influential. Various supernatural events start occurring in the house, and after Kelly consults with a Native American spiritual guide, she learns that the spirit of Roger and some Indians have been trying to warn Kelly that Roger's tragic car accident was in fact cold-blooded murder and that Burke is trying to sell the land to the Mafia so that it can be used for the illegal dumping of toxic waste.
