Diet, Supplements Play Vital Role in Mitigating Parkinson's Symptoms, Speaker Says
by Emma Yasinski | January 28, 2018
Diet, supplements, and over-the-counter medications play a crucial role in mitigating the daily symptoms of Parkinson's, which can range from low energy levels to constipation to anxiety and depression, according to a presentation hosted by The Parkinson Voice Project.
Susan Imke, FNP, GNP-C, a certified gerontological nurse practitioner who focuses on families living with Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, talked about "Optimal Nutrition for Living Well with Parkinson's," in a free lecture on Jan. 12. A video of the presentation is available online, along with a flyer summarizing nutritional guidelines for patients.
The talk is part of the Parkinson's Lecture Series presented by disease experts in PVP's Clark and Brigid Lund Parkinson's Education Center. Presentations can be viewed in person or through the website.
Hydration, diet, and medication absorption
Staying hydrated and balancing protein consumption are important ways to ensure any patient taking carbidopa-levodopa gets the maximum benefit from the treatment, said Imke.
"Adequate hydration is essential for nutrient and medication absorption," she said, adding that water doesn't just make pills easier to swallow, it also facilitates absorption of both the treatment and nutrients from food, maximizing efficacy of each.
The Parkinson's Disease News Today forums are a place to connect with other patients, share tips and talk about the latest research. Join today!
Carbidopa-levodopa, one of the most commonly used treatments for the disease, should be taken with half a cup of nondairy liquid for proper absorption.
Doctors recommend patients take carbidopa-levodopa at least 15 to 30 minutes before eating when possible, so that food doesn't interfere with its effects.
Patients should continue to sip water throughout the day to prevent dehydration, which can lead to constipation, low energy, and even dangerous delirium.
Additionally, patients should pay close attention to their protein intake throughout the day. While protein is essential for a healthy diet, large neutral amino acids (LNAAs) in protein compete with carbidopa-levodopa — which is made up of two amino acids — for absorption.
To figure out if too much protein intake is affecting the body's ability to absorb of the medicine, Imke suggests patients try eating a vegetarian diet for 2 to 3 days; if mood and energy improve, patients should consider limiting protein consumption, or adjusting the timing of protein-heavy meals in the long term.
Managing gastrointestinal symptoms at home
While neurologists may not focus on them, gastrointestinal symptoms, such as constipation, are a "very big deal," said Imke, not a "second class worry."
Bowel impaction — when the bowel can no longer push out stool, which then needs to be removed manually — is the second most common reason Parkinson's patients are admitted to nursing homes.
There are options for patients to help manage these symptoms at home. Many stool softeners and laxatives come with warnings against using them for more than a week at a time without a doctor's permission, but it is common for a gastroenterologist to recommend long-term use.
Imke enthusiastically advised patients to use probiotic supplements. "Everyone should be taking probiotics," she said, explaining that Parkinson's medications are "hard on the gut," and supplements can help mitigate the damage more effectively than probiotic foods, such as yogurt.
Triphala, an ayurvedic tonic some people drink to help loosen stool, is also safe for patients, she said.
Sometimes patients may need more relief from gastrointestinal symptoms than oral options can provide. The evidence is limited, but many individuals like the Squatty Potty, a Shark Tank invention that claims to help reduce strain during bowel movements by encouraging a squat-like position on the toilet.
For those who need a little more assistance, infant-sized glycerin suppositories can help. Imke emphasized that the infant size is plenty for an adult, and even "leaves a little grease in the neighborhood" for the next bowel movement.
Mood symptoms
Apathy, depression, and anxiety are common symptoms in Parkinson's, and can be impacted by hydration and nutrition. Depression — a mood disorder that can be directly associated with the dopamine depletion in Parkinson's — is frequently diagnosed in patients, but Imke argues that anxiety, which is harder to recognize, can be just as agonizing for patients.
Anxiety may be triggered as medications wear off, when patients wait for another dose to kick in, causing them to hyperventilate and fear they won't be able to catch their breath. Telling patients it will get better won't help, but taking benzodiazepines can, Imke said.
It's imperative to recognize the difference between delirium and dementia, she added. Delirium, an emergency which can be caused by a change in medications, dehydration, or an infection, is characterized by sudden, out-of-character behavior, and generally requires a trip to the emergency room.
Dementia associated with Parkinson's is different from that of other diseases, and medications used for Alzheimer's won't help Parkinson's patients, Imke said. Parkinson's dementia is more subtle, comes on gradually, and tends to include confusion or difficulty finding words.
Supplements can help many patients, but it's important to avoid large doses, and prioritize the ones that make each patient feel best, Imke stated.
Some vitamins to consider are lutein for preventing macular degeneration, vitamin D3 for maintaining bone health, and magnesium which can act as a muscle relaxant.
Low levels of vitamin B12 may be associated with quicker motor and cognitive decline, according to a March 2018 study, which pointed to supplements as a possible solution.
Some research has suggested that vitamin B6 may improve cognition and mood in elderly patients. Studies in the past showed that vitamin B6 can interfere with carbidopa-levodopa, but Imke says this is no longer a concern at "reasonable doses."
While some doctors may recommend iron or calcium as patients age, these supplements can worsen constipation.
Other nutraceuticals that help some patients and are considered safe are crystallized ginger for nausea, gingko biloba for alertness, milk thistle for liver function, parsley for gastric reflux, St. John's Wort for depression, and valerian root for sleep issues.
Supplements and over-the-counter treatments can be pricier than patients realize. Imke recommends tracking spending for a month, and then deciding which supplements are worth the cost for each individual.
She cautioned that for all the benefits that supplements may provide, when taking supplements, a patient becomes "a research population of one."
Supplements are not tightly regulated, and "just because a supplement is all natural, doesn't mean you should take it home with you," Imke said. Therefore, patients should look for "reputable brands," and research the manufacturers.

Lovsin
Lovsin is a documentary short produced by Duncan McDowall, who I had met through a friend at a film screening. The subject is Louis Lovsin, otherwise known as Montreal Piano (on Rachel/Clark). This repair shop is a Montreal institution!
by Adam Daudrich
Cruz de Luz
I am really lucky to know Diego Briceno-Orduz, Columbian-born filmmaker, documentary specialist, now residing in Montréal. I met him because I taught his daughter piano, and I asked if he was looking for someone to do the score for "El Rastro de Camilo". He had found a composer already but asked that I re-arrange "Cruz de Luz" by Daniel Viglietti. The song is famous in Columbia, but because the film updates the story of Camilo Torres, he wanted a new version..
The film "El Rastro de Camillo" (The Path of Camillo) was scheduled to broadcast on Senal Columbia in February 2016, prime-time, at a period in which the country was changing, and ready to re-consider the story of a controversial figure Camilo Torres, who was accused of being a Guerilla and whose story was obscured for political reasons.
I developed 2 versions of the song for the film, one with solo piano and voice, the other with a full rock instrumental and vocal harmony backing. Some people have told me that the latter sounds like "Hotel California!"
I was equally lucky to get Isis Giraldo (another Columbian artist who performs under the name "Chiquita Magic") to sing this. And- she did it on the day before she was to go to Columbia! You can listen to the version in the film here, played during the credits with a drone shot over the city. I love the lyrics. The last line is very touching and inspired me to highlight its meaning musically. Diego later told me that while he showed the film in numerous venues in Columbia, the last line brought tears to the eyes of the audience.
Days of Eva
So, my friend Marc is an incredible thinker, artist, conversationalist, with impeccable taste. He also has a knack for bringing people together. That, and Montreal is a small place! So, one day he introduced me to an upright bassist bassist and we all jammed together a bit in Marc's loft space. She told us that she was going into the Mel Oppenheim School of Cinema. Around a year later, she got word that I had been doing some music production for film, and she put me in touch with a fellow student Vincent Réné-Lortie, who was in post-production for "Days of Eva," a sci-fi short. This was a pretty unique film, I was later told, because the school had not seen anything sci-fi in a long time. Under the surface of the obviously limited budget, I saw vision in his work, which inspired me to get into the cracks of the film, aiming for a sound-design-y approach. He had clear ideas of what he wanted and where. He was inspired by "Ex-Machina." Anyway, it all came together rather quickly. We did two spotting sessions, and a few edits and voilà we had a score.
I think it really came together when Vid Cousins did the audio post-production. The film did really well... amazingly well for Vincent's first film, and it was nominated for three awards at the school's own film fest, among them sound., and was featured in les Rendez-Vous du Cinéma Quebecois.
Silvia dans les Vagues
I was fortunate to get this unique project by Giovana Olmos. The film deals with the subject of gender transformation, death, and family dynamics and challenges narratives in the understanding of gender. It also used a great deal of underwater photography. A lot of bold images, colour, rich in symbolism. Giovana approached me with the reference of Simon and Garfunkel's El Condor Pasa (1970), which at first sounded to me like a dozen mandolins playing simultaneously in a village square, and then an additional guitar over dubbed on top drenched in reverb. I was like: "how am I going to re-produce this?"
Then I remembered that my Screen Composer's Guild Mentor Nicholas Schnier had a mandolin-like instrument called the Charango. So I guessed I could reproduce the ensemble effect through overdubbing. First, though, I would have to write the music using virtual instruments, get approval, then record.
We went through many iterations and finally settled on a final version with orchestral bass-section, felted piano, guitar, charango, and an organ pad to fill in some harmony. This score had somewhat of a classic approach to it in the sense that I composed a theme and used fragments of it all over. You can hear the complete theme in two different arrangements.
I called Réné Portillo to help me out with the score and he did a great job playing all the stringed instruments.
When I got to the end of the session I ran into a problem because despite our best efforts we could not get that sustained stream of sound out of the Charango. Dave Duong, the sound designer had been able to simulate it with guitar overdubs, but the Charango, no. I could try the guitar - it could be close, but not really. So I'll be honest I was in a panic. I needed something that sounded like a village square full of Charangos. So I typed "Charango ensemble" into Google and lo and behold, Spitfire Audio had such a thing! It sounded EXACTLY like what I wanted. Like, EXACTLY.
Here's the solo guitar version:
Boris: Portrait of an Artist
Disclaimer: I never finished this project. Due to a last minute change by the executive producer, the score went to Nina Simone's friend and Musical Director Al Shackman. However, team I worked with was very enthusiastic about my score, so I am sharing it!
For this I was inspired by the abstraction in the subject's art, and the period in which he became known, the sixties. They wanted a jazz score, influenced by Mel Tormés version of "Comin' Home Baby" as well as Nina Simone, whom the artist knew and whose portrait he painted.The film also contained some Thelonious Monk drum breaks, tightly edited to picture. So I borrowed the go-go beat from "Comin Home..." and brought some 60's jazz abstraction to it, à la Miles Davis, as well as film score elements that bring out the visuals.
For the rest of the film we went with a beat-poet jazz style bass and drum accompaniment, but not restricted to the period. We used some Afro-Brazilian elements as well as contemporary jazz.
Despite great enthusiasm for the score, the concept was shelved as the producers worked out an arrangement with Al Shackman, Nina Simone's Guitarist and Musical Director of three decades).
Math Expressions Games
Ok so a friend put me in the running for this project at Houghton Mifflin and Harcourt here in Montreal. I submitted a demo, and got the contract to do music and sound design for this set of children's math learning games.
I met with the design team and I was quite surprised to see that the contract said that I could not use any samples from any libraries at all. Which was weird. So you would think that I would just go ahead and create every single sound and record every instrument live. And if I were a brilliant percussionist and sound designer and foley person, then yes, I would have done that. Instead, we clarified the contract! Ha
So once that was cleared up, I worked with the design team to get references that might work across several different concepts for this game including a play on/ play off song for game play and a menu theme. Finally settling on a percussion-based piece that could be used for both the game intros and the game menu. Then came the win and lose jingles, then the sound fx.

On the heels of Math Expressions Games, HMH contacted me to work on an animation project based on Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe. Randall Munroe who used to work at NASA, and is now a best-selling author and cartoonist. His concept is to use a paired down vocabulary of 1000 words to describe phenomena such as planets, the growth of organisms, use of fire, etc... Animator André Navarre to animate the drawings from Thing Explainer.
https://soundcloud.com/adamdaudrich/tree
The music here had to be cute to match the look and feel of the animations. One of the producers selected a tempo... 120bpm and provided some references. Then I started to write to picture, collaborating with the producer by e-mail and file-exchange. The trick here was to develop simple melodies and meaningful chord changes, while having the flexibility to swap out / shorten / lengthen sections. As one piece of music was used for 4 videos per subject, I had to edit the music for different lengths... by sometimes as much as 20seconds...
Hectarium
Hectarium is a brain-child of Creator / Director Diego Briceno-Orduz. It deals with farming, land-use, agriculture, and expresses the challenges that we face as a humanity.
This is the first interactive-media project I have been involved with. Basically, I was asked to score 11 short films, plus a trailer. The films help you to understand the different options that you have as a user. I concentrated on creating short effective pieces. I did not score anything for the interactive interface, although there was some talk of it, for which I created a loop. The project was also released as a short film and is slated for release as a feature length documentary.
This concept was put together by a couple of teams. The film side was Makila.tv. The application technology side was Pliab. Diego went to the Banff Centre for innovative media technology to develop the interface side. I happened to be passing through on my way to Kelowna, so I was able to meet him there. We visited the centre then went out for dinner.
A few months later it was crunch time. I worked with Jesse Freeston who was in charge of editing, and I was lucky to get sound recordist and mix engineer Réné Portillo to record Cuatro (an instrument native to Columbia and Venezuela) for two of the episodes. That was super cool.
Saint-F*ck
This film came to me by way of a friend, who invited me to a BBQ where I had a chance to meet director Axel Laramée for the first time. He had just completed an edit for this short film, and he had some tracks from a couple of artists (Strand of Oaks and Ian Kelly), but he wanted more music to highlight certain feelings and aspects of the story. So he described the story to me: a cottage, a couple, a brother, a melée of emotions, the folly of youth, a lake, a dog, swimming across the lake to an island, a betrayal. I'm paraphrasing here, obviously. I was like: "sounds cool, I'd love to see it."
One aspect of Axel's vision was that he wanted the earthy folksy cottage elements to morph into a subtle distorted synth sound to represent the pending emotional turmoil lurking in the story. We referred to it as "the monster."
So, I was able to pull the background elements of the first cue (synth woodwinds) forward in the mix, and by modulating an analogue bass, get them to overpower the acoustic guitar to end the scene.
So this score was really all about bridging the sonic ground between the two songs, and realizing "the monster."

Of flesh, the alligator– all grin and fetor, ruthless.
Whose festering brain he consumed. On what was left, he pissed.
Be reminded: it was your will that made for all of this.

Newly weded Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupthi has an ugly tiff over Lara's ex-boyfriend Kelly Dorjee. It is heard that Lara is still in touch with her ex-flame Kelly which her hubby Mahesh did not like. Lara and Kelly dated for a long period.
The couple broke into heated argument when Bhupathi questioned Lara about her rapport with Kelly. Lara did not like Mahesh enquiring her about Dorjee and hence they broke into argument.
Hope, this is a simple tiff between husband and wife and not so severe and they sorted out the problem between them.

Kraken's game at Vancouver postponed as NHL extends COVID-19-related pause in play
Dec. 24, 2021 at 3:48 pm Updated Dec. 24, 2021 at 4:51 pm
A fourth Kraken game in eight days has been postponed, after the NHL on Friday announced its return to play has been delayed at least 24 hours until Tuesday to undertake further COVID-19 assessment.
That means the Kraken's road game Monday against the Vancouver Canucks is postponed, with no immediate makeup date announced. The team had already seen home games against Toronto and Arizona and a game at Calgary, all scheduled for earlier in the week, postponed due to COVID-19 outbreaks on the Kraken and opponents.
Kraken CEO Tod Leiweke said by text that the team expects to get an update on the situation Saturday.
It's unlikely the Kraken would play the Vancouver game Tuesday, given they have home contests scheduled with Philadelphia and Calgary on Wednesday and Thursday and NHL teams typically don't play on three consecutive days. The Canucks are in the same situation, with an open date Tuesday but games at Anaheim and Los Angeles the following two days.
The league issued a statement Friday saying the delay in restarting games was undertaken "in order to allow the League an adequate opportunity to analyze leaguewide testing results and to assess clubs' readiness to play." It added that further information would be provided by end of day Sunday, the same day teams are expected to resume on-ice workouts.
Sunday is also when teams are expected to resume COVID-19 testing of players. Once that happens, the full extent of roster availability should be better known. The Kraken have three players in COVID-19 protocol, defensemen Carson Soucy, Jamie Oleksiak and Adam Larsson.
But the status of forwards Yanni Gourde, Colin Blackwell and Riley Sheahan is also uncertain heading into possible games next week. All three had been released from COVID protocol early this week, just ahead of the NHL beginning its winter break two days early in the wake of several players testing positive and forcing the cancellation of a plethora of games.
Given their lack of skating and conditioning while in protocol and since leaving it, the availability of Gourde, Blackwell and Sheahan remains uncertain. Kraken forward Brandon Tanev, who suffered an undisclosed lower-body injury in the team's most recent game last Saturday against Edmonton, has since been placed on injured reserve.

Tel Yaqush is an Early Bronze Age village located in the Jordan Valley (Israel). The village was occupied from ca. 3700-2500 BCE, offering the opportunity to explore major social and political changes in the region, especially relating to urbanism and migration.
The ancient settlement at Tel Yaqush existed throughout the entire Early Bronze Age (3700-2500 BCE). The excavation focuses on the different phases of this period (namely Early Bronze Age I-III), which were exposed in various parts of the site.
Tel Yaqush is situated in the Jordan Valley (Israel), about seven miles south of the Sea of Galilee. The site is located next to the outlet of the Tabor stream into the Jordan River, facing the Jordan River to its east and backed by the dominating heights of the eastern Lower Galilee mountains to its west. It is easily accessed by a short dirt road, which exits off the main north-south road, Route 90, next to the modern Kibbutz Gesher.
Dr. Mark Iserlis, Post-Doctoral Researcher, German Archaeological Institute, Berlin.
Tel Yaqush was occupied during one of the most dynamic millennia in world history, when the first states were evolving in neighboring greater Mesopotamia and Egypt.
Its size (about 2.5 hectares) and the results of earlier excavations by the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago, indicate that it was likely a village within the sphere of influence of Tel Bet Yerah, a 30-hectare walled center on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.
The excellent preservation of Yaqush village and its occupation throughout the entire Early Bronze Age offer an opportunity to explore the major social and political changes taking place in this region over time, particularly relating to urbanization and migration.
In the Early Bronze Age, the first fortified cities were being constructed in the Southern Levant. These cities established a new form of political organization and created a centrally controlled economy. Yaqush, however, remained a small, unfortified village, in the shadow of the large city of Bet Yerah. The renewed excavations will focus on these relations between the sites, in this dramatic shift to urbanism in the region.
This period is also marked by the large-scale movement of people throughout the Middle East. Material associated with the so-called Kura-Araxes culture, which originated in the Southern Caucasus, has been found at Tel Yaqush, making it one of the southernmost sites this group occupied. Study of the distinctive material cultural of the Kura-Araxes newcomers found at Yaqush sheds light on their arrival and integration with local populations.
Project co-directors are planning a new field project at Tel Yaqush, beginning with a four-week pilot season in the summer of 2018, with plans for five excavation seasons and two study seasons. The first season is planned to include 25 personnel in total, including students and staff from the US, Germany, the UK, and Israel. In addition to gaining first-hand experience in excavation, students will learn from afternoon talks and lectures, and have opportunities to travel to other archaeological and historical sites in Israel.
Are you a Penn Student interested in participating in the excavation?

BBC, May 12: A major earthquake has struck eastern Nepal, near Mount Everest, two weeks after more than 8,000 died in a devastating quake.
At least 29 people have been killed and 1,006 injured, according to the Nepali government.
The latest earthquake hit near the town of Namche Bazaar, near Mount Everest.
The US Geological Survey said it had a magnitude of 7.3. An earthquake on 25 April, centred in western Nepal, had a magnitude of 7.8.
The latest tremor was also felt in northern India and Bangladesh, and was centred east of the Nepalese capital Kathmandu, in a rural area close to the Chinese border.
In Kathmandu, which was badly damaged last month, people rushed out of buildings as the quake struck at 12:35 local time (06:50 GMT).
Rescue helicopters have been sent to districts north-east of the capital, that are believed to be worst hit.
A spokesman for Nepal's government told the BBC that 31 of the country's 75 districts had been affected.
At the scene: Simon Cox, BBC, Kathmandu
You could feel it really strongly. It went on for about 25 seconds - the ground was shaking, the birds started squawking, you could feel the buildings shaking.
There was another aftershock and people were all out on the street. That aftershock really added anxiety and panic. People started crying.
They are calm but you can tell they are all scared.
The BBC's Yogita Limaye, who was in Nepal's mountains when the latest earthquake struck, said: "The earth shook and it shook for a pretty long time.
"I can completely understand the sense of panic. We have been seeing tremors: it's been two-and-a-half weeks since the first quake. But this one really felt like it went on for a really long time. People have been terrified."
At least four people were killed in the town of Chautara, east of Kathmandu, where a number of buildings are reported to have collapsed.
The International Organisation for Migration said bodies were being pulled from rubble there.
Krishna Gyawali, the chief district officer for Chautara, said there had been a number of landslides.
The quake struck at a depth of 15km (9.3 miles), according to the US Geological Survey - the same depth as the April 25 quake. Shallow earthquakes are more likely to cause more damage at the surface.
Tuesday's earthquake is likely to be one of the largest to hit Nepal, which has suffered hundreds of aftershocks since 25 April.
The 7.3 quake was followed by six aftershocks of magnitude 5.0 or higher.
One tremor that hit 30 minutes later, centred on the district of Ramechhap, east of Kathmandu, had a magnitude of 6.3.
Analysis: Jonathan Amos, science correspondent, BBC News
Scientists are already producing some preliminary analyses of Tuesday's quake.
The epicentre this time is about 80km (50 miles) east-north-east of Kathmandu, halfway to Everest. On 25 April, the big quake began 80km to the north-west of the capital.
In April, we saw the fault boundary rupture eastwards for 150km (93 miles). And the immediate assessment suggests Tuesday's tremor has occurred right at the eastern edge of this failure.
In that context, this second earthquake was almost certainly triggered by the stress changes caused by the first one. Indeed, the US Geological Survey had a forecast for an aftershock in this general area.
Its modelling suggested there was 1-in-200 chance of a M7-7.8 event occurring this week. So, not highly probable, but certainly possible.
Quake experts often talk about "seismic gaps", which refer to segments of faults that are, to some extent, overdue a quake. Tuesday's big tremor may well have filled a hole between what we saw on 25 April and some historic events - such as those in 1934, that occurred further still to the east.


People gather atop the second floor of Grand Central Coffee Company on March 16, 2017.
Now, thanks to Grand Central Coffee Company, students will have a place to study no matter the time of day.
On April 7, Grand Central Coffee will be having a variety of specials throughout the day to celebrate the beginning of being open 24 hours every day of the week.
Jonathan Vallo, the general manager, said being open 24 hours has always been a plan for the cafe and bar because Downtown does not have another place that is open as late and serves quality coffee.
"Our game plan from the start was to be 365 (days), for 24 hours a day," said Vallo.
The specials will include: free coffee, happy hour, five dollar hamburgers, Cronuts and discounted baked goods.
There will also be live music throughout the day by local performers, Johnny Rios, JAM NOW, Bella Canzano and Vintage Wednesday.
Sam Greaves, a barista at Grand Central Coffee, said he does not know what the foot traffic will be like late at night on weekdays, but he believes being open later will be great for the weekend.
"It will be really exciting if it works out," said Greaves.
Vallo also mentioned that a speakeasy and general store will soon be arriving to Grand Central Coffee in a few weeks. The speakeasy will have its own room and people who rent it out will have their own doorman and bartender. The general store will include gelato, overnight oats and a variety of different healthy to-go meals.
"It is not easy to find healthy food at three in the morning," said Vallo.
Nursing freshman Sarah McCall said she believes having a place nearby that is open all day is helpful for students because it gives them more study place options during late at night.
"If you are not in the dorms, there is Cronkite," McCall said. "But there is really nowhere else to go, so I think it's a good idea."
She added that the venue is a unique place for students to study.

Why We Need to End the "Tampon Tax"
In a previous post we talked about the "pink tax," an unjustifiable upcharge on products designed specifically for women. In this post we're zeroing in on the "tampon tax," a colloquialism for taxes on menstrual products. ________________________________________________________________________
Check out Tigress, a podcast hosted by menstrual equity and mental health activist Nadya Okamoto.
On any given day, 800,000 people on the planet are menstruating. Two-thirds of those individuals don't have adequate access to period supplies.
In the United States, dozens of states still apply sales tax to period necessities like tampons, pads, and period cups, adding to the cost burden of these products.
It's often referred to as a "luxury tax," but ask anyone who menstruates if they think it's a "luxury" to not have to worry about bleeding through their pants every month, and you can expect to get some serious side eye.
Period products are out of reach for too many people.
Making items like pads and tampons more expensive through taxation hurts everyone who menstruates, but especially those struggling with poverty. The impacts can be far-reaching.
Thousands of women, girls, and others who menstruate skip work or school every month simply because they can't afford tampons or pads.
For students, lack of period equity can mean lost educational opportunities. For working people, it can mean loss of income. For both, it's a blow to their dignity and humanity.
Women spend an average of $9 a month on period products, which may not sound like much. However, in a family where two, three, or more members get their periods every month, these numbers quickly add up.
People who can't afford tampons or pads often resort to using household items like socks, towels, or even newspapers to manage their periods. This is not only dehumanizing, but can also lead to dangerous infections.
The average American woman will experience 450 periods in her lifetime, which means she'll pay anywhere between $100 and $225 in taxes on menstrual products. Since women (especially women of color) are already at a disadvantage because of the gender pay gap, taxes on these essential items are yet another hit to a woman's finances.
A report published in Obstetrics and Gynecology found that two-thirds (64%) of women surveyed were unable to afford menstrual hygiene supplies during the previous year. One in five said they were unable to afford these products every month.
Lack of access hurts young people.
Not having access to period products like tampons and pads is especially hard on young people. One student described the stress of seeing their peers crying and having panic attacks in the school bathroom because of lack of access to pads.
Many schools don't stock bathrooms with menstrual hygiene products. Others keep them in the nurse's office, and some don't supply these essential items at all.
While states like California have passed legislation requiring schools in low-income districts to provide free period products in school bathrooms, others have turned a blind eye to the suffering of their own students.
Difficulty accessing period products at school only adds to the stigma around menstruation.
A study commissioned by Thinx and PERIOD reported that 70% of students said their school environment makes them especially self-conscious of their period. Two-thirds (65%) said they don't want to be at school when they have their periods, and nearly four in ten said they often or sometimes can't do their best school work due to lack of access to period products.
How can we turn this around?
First, we can abolish the "tampon tax" in all states. Menstruators shouldn't have to struggle to afford basic necessities. A tax on menstrual products is not only unfair, but some argue it's also unconstitutional.
Next, we can make period products free and easily accessible in all schools. Students shouldn't have to struggle or miss school simply because they don't have pads or tampons.
Write or call your state representatives and ask them to eliminate the tax on tampons and other menstrual necessities in your state.
Support initiatives to create menstrual equity and end period poverty.
Make a difference in your community. Call your local school district today and ask them to provide students with free menstrual products.
We all have a role to play in putting an end to the unfair and discriminatory tampon tax and creating period equity.

Patience, my friend! Patience… This is what adjusting to dentures is all about. As millions of denture wearers around the world know, it makes sense to go for it one bite at a time, slowly and steadily. Here's a month-long calendar.
Day 1 - Start by eating soft foods like mashed potatoes, puddings and ice cream that are gentle on your gums.
Day 2 to 14 – You are beginning to adjust to your dentures. Increased salivation and sore spots are perfectly normal, so don't worry. Try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water for increased comfort.
Day 15 to 29 – You're learning to talk and eat all over again, and the good news is that salivation and sore spots have lessened. Help your confidence by using a denture adhesive like Fixodent. It will immediately improve the fit of your denture giving you, in time, the possibility to enjoy even tough food.
Day 30 - After a month from your first denture experience, you should be ready to enjoy life to the fullest. And remember, if at any time of this adjustment period you're continuing to experience discomfort, please see your dentist who can check the fit of your dentures.
Go for it, slowly and steadily with our calendar. Go for it, thanks to the strength of Fixodent denture adhesive cream.


We are located about 5 mins from Junction 10 of the M20 near Ashford in Kent. We are not there every day so if you would like to come and look around give us a call on 07836 725668 to arrange a time, we are fairly flexible.
There is now a high speed train from St.Pancras to Ashford International which only takes 38 mins.
As Christmas approaches we get Pubs and Restaurants asking us for large tables, we always have a good selection in stock. Here are a few examples.
We often get asked for Old Pub Signs which are very hard to find these days, but luckily we have someone who can make Pub Signs and make them so they look like original ones.

Teranet: October gain for Canadian home prices undone in November
Monika Warzecha Dec 12, 2013
Photo: DCZwick/Flickr
The slight 0.1 per cent boost in Canadian home prices recorded in October was reversed last month as the Teranet-National Bank National Composite House Price Index slid down 0.1 per cent, month-to-month.
The latest report points out that because prices in November 2012 had declined by a greater margin, 12-month home price inflation accelerated to 3.4 per cent from 3.1 per cent in October. Five of the 11 major city markets studied saw a year-over-year rise in prices that was greater than the national average. Here's how the numbers played out:
Calgary led the pack with a 5.9 per cent rise, followed by Hamilton (5.2 per cent), Toronto (4.2 per cent), Vancouver (3.9 per cent), and Quebec City (3.7 per cent).
The cities that fell below the 3.4 per cent cross-country average were Edmonton (3.0 per cent), Winnipeg (2.8 per cent), Ottawa-Gatineau (1.2 per cent), and Halifax and Montreal (0.8 per cent).
Victoria recorded a price drop for the ninth consecutive month with a 1.4 per cent decline.
In terms of month-over-month gains, the 0.1 per cent decline of the index was the fourth November in a row to see a drop. Over 15 years of data collection, November prices have on average gained 0.1 per cent from the month before, suggesting that the drop isn't a buoying market. Prices were up in four of the 11 metros studied. Here's the breakdown:
Rising for seven straight months, Vancouver saw a 0.6 per cent gain in November, reaching a new record.
Halifax matched the British Columbian city with a 0.6 per cent gain of its own and was followed by Hamilton at 0.3 per cent and Winnipeg, which saw the first gain in five months with a 0.1 per cent increase.
Prices were down in Victoria (1.8 per cent), Montreal (0.6 per cent), Calgary (0.3 per cent) and in Edmonton, Quebec City, Ottawa-Gatineau and Toronto (0.2 per cent).
In terms of overall trends, six of the markets have seen prices decline:
Prices in six of the markets has been trending down: for four consecutive months in Quebec City (total 1.8 per cent), Montreal (1.4 per cent) and Edmonton (1.1 per cent) and for three consecutive months in Ottawa-Gatineau (total 0.8 per cent).
Prices have declined by 0.4 per cent in Toronto over the last three months and 2.4 per cent in Victoria in the last two months.
While Winnipeg saw a 0.1 per cent gain in November, prices are down 0.7 per cent over the last five months in Winnipeg.

They Call Me Coach
They call her coach! Coach McCrosky is an amazing person who has a mission of coaching high school Track & Field. From an athletes perspective, I can tell you that this coach is one of the most driven, caring and loving people you will ever meet. Her mission is to help young adults and athletes grow and mature by disciplining them with hard work and determination. She is a community icon and has touched hundreds of lives through the sport of Track & Field!
However, that's not all she does. Coach McCrosky is a teacher and mentor at a small middle school and high school in rural Missouri. She devotes hours of her time every single day to educate youth on being safe, pro-active and smart in their lives. She leads by example and is loved by everybody. From the moment she parks her vehicle at the school to the time that the day is over . . . she leaves a lasting impression on everyone around her that is truly priceless. Her life has not been easy, but it has only transformed her into one of the most inspiring people in our society.
As a track athlete from this small school in rural Missouri, I can say with complete confidence that this sport is not easy. This is not due to the overwhelming physical amount of running, jumping and passing out, it's because our school does not have a track or an adequate training facility. Therefore we are forced to run through town on backroads and highways, and to be quite honest this frustrating. What inspires me as well as the rest of our team, is that Coach McCrosky doesn't give this a second thought. She doesn't let this distract her from what matters most, training her athletes to the best of her abilities. I have never seen anyone else as passionate and dedicated to what they love as much Coach Jamminy McCrosky. It's her world and her mission and that alone leaves a lasting impression in my heart and hopefully yours as well. To the best coach out there, thank you Coach McCrosky!

Kolkata HC asks Mamata government to remove all anti-CAA, NRC ads
The court's order came after six petitions were filed accusing the state government of spending public money against an act passed in Parliament.
Published: 23rd December 2019 03:24 PM | Last Updated: 23rd December 2019 03:24 PM | A+A A-
West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee (File | PTI)
By Express News Service
KOLKATA: In an apparent setback to the West Bengal government, Kolkata High Court on Monday directed all the advertisements sponsored by Mamata Banerjee's government against Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) to be removed from public platforms.
In an interim order, the court asked the state government to withdraw all such advertisements till the next hearing on January 9.
In the advertisements, Mamata, who has been critical of CAA and NRC, assured the people of the state that her government would not allow the two issues in Bengal. The court's order came after six petitions were filed accusing the state government of spending public money against an act passed in Parliament.
Reacting to the high court's order, Union minister Babul Supriyo tweeted, "If only Mamata Banerjee had taken advice from the few educated MPs and MLAs she has in her party about she (A CM) not having any authority, as per our constitution, to block an ACT that's in the central List and anyone other than Didi would know that citizenship is Centre's prerogative.''
Criticising the government advertisements that were put out on news channels and other public platforms, earlier Bengal governor Jagdeep Dhankar had demanded immediate withdrawal of it saying that they were unconstitutional.

The National Computing Centre (NCC) was an independent not-for-profit membership and research organisation in the United Kingdom.

After the original organisation was liquidated in 2010, Redholt Limited changed its name to the National Computing Centre Limited (NCC Ltd) and acquired the assets of the original NCC through a pre-pack administration arrangement. This new for-profit company, formed in 2010, initially offered some of the same services as the original NCC but in 2012 became a shell company as it had to file for protection from its creditors and make most of its staff redundant.

Formation and early years
The National Computing Centre was founded on 10 June 1966 by the Labour government, as an autonomous not-for-profit organisation, in order to be the "voice of the computer user", encourage the growth of computer usage in the UK and ensure that the necessary education and training was made available. NCC was one of the visible outcomes from Harold Wilson's "White Heat of Technology" speech and the formation of a Ministry of Technology, the others being the computer company International Computers Limited (ICL) and chip maker Inmos (both now defunct).

Initially, most income came directly from government grants, but with the growth of NCC's commercial operations this ceased in 1989. During the 1970s and 1980s NCC had a joint venture with Blackwell Publishing (NCC Blackwell) which was a significant publisher of academic computing books.

Between 1989 and 1996 NCC operated with five main divisions – education, consulting, escrow, membership services, and system engineering deriving income from membership fees and its commercial activities.

A valued component was the Computer Validation Service, which ran Validation testing for Fortran 77 and Pascal. These validation tests were issued in accordance with a reciprocal agreement with General Services Administration in the United States.

NCC Education
In 1996, the National Computing Centre sold its overseas education business, NCC Education, to stave off a financial crisis that occurred when the company breached its borrowing limits.

MBO, NCC Services Ltd and NCC Group plc
In 1999, it sold its commercial divisions (turnover of less than £10 million), which provided escrow, consultancy, system engineering services to its existing management team supported by ECI Ventures for £5 million. This new company was named NCC Services Limited and later became NCC Group Limited  of which the National Computing Centre held a 20% share. John Perkins became the new managing director of National Computing Centre, which remained a not-for-profit membership organisation.

The NCC Services Ltd management team of Managing Director Chris Pearse and directors John Morris, Peter Bird, and Chris Sadler was strengthened in March 2000 by the appointment of Rob Cotton as Finance Director and who also took over control of the Escrow division in May of that year, with Morris leaving at that time. Following a substantial fall off of revenues as Y2K came and passed, and due to the failure of the company before this date to invest in its general consultancy, security, system engineering and escrow business during the Y2K period, the group began to make monthly losses before the benefits of the changes to the escrow business instigated by Rob Cotton were felt and the company returned to profitability.

Renamed NCC Group, in May 2000, and with escrow now the cornerstone of the group, Rob Cotton led a secondary management buy-out in 2003 valuing NCC Group at £30 million and supported by Barclays Private Equity. At this point, the National Computing Centre sold its shares in NCC Group as did Pearse, Bird and Sadler who left the business. The NCC Group subsequently floated on the AIM stock market in 2004 for £55 million and was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2007 with a market capitalisation of nearly £390 million as of June 2014.

21st Century
NCC received substantial proceeds from the sale of NCC Group Limited (circa £11 million between 2000 and 2003 plus dividends) and from the multi-million sale of its Manchester city centre buildings (Armstrong House and Oxford House) to Bruntwood Group. Following the retirement of Perkins, Michael Gough was appointed as CEO in 2000 and NCC pursued a new strategy of rapidly developing and expanding its membership services by acquisition.

After 2000, and particularly after the second sale of its shares in NCC Group in 2003, acquisitions accelerated to acquire a number of related companies, membership organisations, publications, publishing rights and to fund joint ventures. The acquisitions included: Management Consultancy News; Conspectus; CIO Connect; The Construction Industry Computing Association; Certus; The Evaluation Centre; Institute of IT Training; The Impact Programme; and PMP. Publishing rights acquired included the Naked Leader and joint ventures included: the NCC/Ashridge Business School MBA; NCC/AQA Applied ICT; and ProfIT.

Funds were spent attempting to develop new products and services including web hosting which did not prove commercially successful. In 2002 NCC adopted a policy of vigorous support for open-source software. Funds were also received from Microsoft towards a software evaluations centre.
Contracts were won to support the uptake of IT particularly amongst SMEs including open source software and the Open Source Academy, and the development of an accreditation standard for IT services which became operational in 2009.

There was a re-branding exercise in which NCC re-branded as Principia, a brand that was quickly dropped and the NCC brand resumed, a move that seemed to echo a similarly named and disastrous re-branding of the UK Royal Mail to Consignia.

These survival strategies failed and the National Computing Centre diminished rapidly in size and turnover. NCC continued to make unsustainable losses but there was no change in strategic direction. To stem the losses NCC was forced to rapidly close or dispose of many of the acquisitions at a loss to the organisation. Michael Gough left the business in February 2008. In March 2008, Steve Markwell was appointed as Chief Executive but there was no improvement in the company's fortunes or significant change in strategic direction.
One significant asset remaining, Filetab, was transferred in 2009 to a new company called NCC Filetab whose managing director was also managing director of NCC.
With losses and the size of the pension fund deficit increasing, the company was unable to meet its obligations and was placed into administration by its management.

Administration, liquidation and pre-pack
In February 2010, NCC went into administration and ultimately liquidation.  The few remaining assets and intellectual property rights were transferred in a "pre-pack" administration arrangement to Redholt Ltd a new private company, thus distancing the new company from the NCC creditors, which included a substantial pension fund liability resulting in the insolvency of the pension fund later that year. Redholt Ltd  was owned by a group of six shareholders, including former managers and two Directors of the insolvent National Computing Centre.

Redholt Ltd, was renamed as The National Computing Centre Limited (NCC Ltd) in Feb 2011. In 2011 NCC Ltd extended its portfolio of services to include IT consulting, mainly as a virtual organisation through the use of independent associate consultants. The 'new' NCC Ltd was not a mutual not-for-profit organisation, but retained some of the member organisations of the liquidated company and initially it delivered some of the same products and services.

By the end of 2011, the 'new' NCC Ltd once again faced financial difficulties and in 2012 it sought voluntary arrangements with its creditors to step away from its debts.  The company had run up substantial losses, had not paid suppliers and had not filed accounts. Nearly all staff were laid off and the business having already left its iconic building in 2010 it finally left Manchester. The company was formally recorded at Companies House as being insolvent and in a voluntary arrangement as of 2 March 2012. The insolvency practitioner dealing with the companies affairs was Wilkins Kennedy of London. It would appear that from this point NCC Ltd was no longer recognised by any trade body, association or any part of government as the "voice of the computer user" and offered no substantial services to its client base and became a shell company. In July 2013 the registered address was changed to an accommodation address  in London and between then and July 2017 the operational address was at times listed as Aston Abbotts in Buckinghamshire, Bournemouth and Welwyn Garden City.

In July 2017 NCC Ltd changed its name to IT Accreditations Limited and the ncc.co.uk domain name and company name became the property of NCC Group plc, so ending 50 years of an organisation trading as The National Computing Centre.

USA Basketball Doesn't Have C-List Players, Says Coach Gregg Popovich
August 6, 2019 By Nikola Velickovic Leave a Comment
Gregg Popovich, the head coach of the US basketball team told earlier today that he doesn't think his players are C level. The media and some of the experts are constantly claiming that USMNT doesn't have any elite players. They believe that the unit led by the Spurs coach is far away from the strongest one.
The United States team faced numerous withdrawals before the FIBA World Cup in China. Ten big names from the initial roster Popovich has made decided that it is better for them to focus on the upcoming NBA season than to play for the national team. All of those guys are the leaders in their franchises, James Harden, Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Tobias Harris, CJ McCollum.
Popovich and the coaching staff around him had a plan on how to cover up all these absences. But some of the players who were invited additionally refused to wear the national jersey. So now, Pop, Kerr and the rest of the staff turned to less sounding names. Guys like Thaddeus Young, Bam Adebayo, PJ Tucker, and Harrison Barnes are on the roster now, which caused for many to have serious doubt in the USA's strength.
A testy Gregg Popovich goes full Pop at USA Basketball practice: "Why don't you ask me how happy I am? Unbelievably happy. God, I'll be so glad when I don't have to do this any more. Does anyone else want to give it a shot?" pic.twitter.com/aTHYWpQRgh

For Popovich, however, there are no doubts. He still believes that this team will win the tournament in China.
"I've said that we're going to be fine and by that what I really meant is that we're blessed with a lot of depth in USA Basketball," he said.
What Pop emphasized is the fact that all of the players present at the minicamp wanted to play, which is very important.
"All of the players here want to be here; there's no question about it.":
Regarding the quality of the players, the 70-year old coach is absolutely positive that they aren't behind the ones who declined the invitation.
"These are not 'C' players. You've heard a lot of criticism about who isn't here, and I keep repeating that it's about who is here. There's some really good talent, and it's going to be difficult getting to a 12-man roster when you really think about it."
Still, there are lots of reasons to disagree with the five-time champ on this matter. For example, this roster has only one player who earned the spot in the All-NBA team, and that is Kemba Walker, who was in the third lineup. He and Khris Midleton are the only All-Stars from this team. If Kyle Lowry recovers soon enough that will make three of them.
Having in mind that some of the previous teams had even 10 All-Star players, Popovich's statements could be challenged.
What makes the fans in the USA confident is the coaching staff, which couldn't be better at this moment. Besides Pop, there is Steve Kerr, as well as Mike Krzyzewski, who is attending all the practices.
Training camp is underway for the #USABMNT, and two words are the focus for head coach Gregg Popovich:
Improvement and cohesivenesshttps://t.co/VmI4IhIXe7 | @usabasketball pic.twitter.com/cLk5cJX3Cs
— Team USA (@TeamUSA) August 6, 2019
These guys have a lot of work ahead of them, not only during the preparation period but also while scouting the potential opponents. And to be honest, there will be several teams who might surprise the USA.
For example, Canada. The NBA champion, Nick Nurse, leads this crew, and the northern neighbors are loaded with NBA quality. Even though Jamal Murray won't be involved in summer activities, Canada has one hell of a team.
Australia is solid as well, Greece comes to China with the NBA MVP Ginnis Antetokounmpo. Serbia is strong also, with the All-NBA first team center, Nikola Jokic.
All in all, defending the gold medal might be a very tough task for the American team.
Walker and the boys are starting the tournament against the Czech Republic on September 1.

Q: Groups with trivial outer automorphism group and prescribed center? Given an arbitrary abelian group $A$, can we find a group $G$ such that

*

*$\mathrm{Out}(G)=\mathrm{Aut}(G)/\mathrm{Inn}(G)=1$, and

*$Z(G)\simeq A$?

Why is this interesting?  Given a group $G$, we have its classifying space $BG$, which in turn has a topological monoid $h\mathrm{Aut}(BG)$ of self-homotopy equivalences.  It is straightforward to show that

*

*$\pi_0(h\mathrm{Aut}(BG)) = \mathrm{Out}(G)$,

*$\pi_1(h\mathrm{Aut}(BG))= Z(G)$, and

*$\pi_n(h\mathrm{Aut}(BG)) =0$ for $n\geq 2$.

Thus, I am asking: for which $A$ is $BA$ equivalent to the space of self-homotopy equivalences of some $BG$?
Here are the examples I think I know:

*

*$A=1$, from $G=1$.  (Or more generally, from any "complete" group.)

*$A=Z/2$, from $G=Z/2$.

[I had more, but they weren't correct, as pointed out by Ben Wieland in comments.]
I think you could construct more by the following procedure: every such $G$ is a central extension of some $K=G/A$ with $Z(K)=1$.  So given $A$, we can (I think) produce such a $G$ if we can find: a group $K$ with $Z(K)=1$ and $H^1(K,A)=0$, and an element $\kappa\in H^2(K,A)$ which is not fixed by any non-identity element of $\mathrm{Out}(K)\times \mathrm{Aut}(A)$.  (Is that right?)
Note that I'm notrequiring $G$ to be finite, or even finitely presented, and there are apparently many $G$ with trivial $\mathrm{Out}(G)$.  I have no idea what centers you can get this way.  (I don't know much group theory.)
(This question is a variant of Group with finite outer automorphism group and large center .)


The middle installment of the Selection Trilogy, America is among the last six competitors, or the elite. However, the closer she gets to Maxon, the more she fears the crown. And what about her feelings for Aspen? How could she possibly choose between the two? With a growing number of attacks from rebels, she must decide soon since her own safety is at stake.
This is definitely a middle book: it drags, it doesn't really seem to have its own plot, and it could have easily been condensed into the other two books. Overall, it was a bit hard to read in that America's indecision and angst over the whole competition becomes tiresome. The characters are shallow, too, flip-flopping in ways that don't make sense. Cass needs give them better depth.

Bow Hill Road Reconstruction - GeoTest, Inc.
This project consisted of the stabilization of the upper and lower slope of Bow Hill Road between Darrk Lane and Old Highway 99. Approximately 1860 feet of the lower slope and 1320 feet of the upper slope of this high traffic road needed stabilization and repair. This project included accompanying roadway and utility corridor improvements.
GeoTest provided geotechnical engineering services for this project including subsurface explorations within the right-of-way, upper and lower retaining wall system design and preparation of wall construction documents. Due to the high traffic volume of this stretch of road, our services were tightly integrated and carefully coordinated with the Skagit County and traffic safety teams.

Four Minutes Being Cool è uno split fra Silverstein ed August Burns Red, pubblicato il 20 aprile 2013 dalla Hopeless Records (etichetta dei Silverstein) in occasione del Record Store Day, la giornata mondiale in favore dei piccoli negozi di musica, minacciati dalle sempre crescenti vendite online.

Il disco
Per lo split le due band hanno realizzato una cover di uno dei gruppi che le hanno influenzate: i Silverstein hanno scelto Coming Clean dei The Get Up Kids, prima traccia del primo album della band, intitolato Four Minute Mile; gli August Burns Red hanno scelto You Vandal dei Saves the Day, seconda traccia dall'album Through Being Cool. Lo stesso titolo dello split è composto dai titoli dei due album dai quali sono state scelte le canzoni.

Il disco è disponibile unicamente in vinile arancione ed è prodotto in un'edizione limitata di 500 copie, acquistabili unicamente in alcuni negozi locali.

La copertina è la fotografia in azzurro, nero e bianco di una serie di quaderni, diari e raccoglitori impilati l'uno sull'altro, con la scritta Four Minutes Being Cool in arancione (lo stesso colore del vinile) e i nomi delle band in basso.

Critica
Killyourstereo giudica nel complesso buono lo split, evidenziando in particolar modo come la cover dei Silverstein sia particolarmente riuscita grazie all'abilità della band di interpretare al meglio un genere che non le è proprio pur rimanendo allo stesso tempo fedele al suo sound ordinario; la cover degli August Burns Red, invece, seppur decente, è giudicata un po' troppo heavy, specialmente nel cantato, cosa che tradisce la versione originale della canzone dei Saves the Day. Più positiva la critica di Propertyofzack, che spende parole di elogio tanto per la cover realizzata dai Silverstein quanto per quella degli August Burns Red, della quale apprezza come lo scream renda più moderna una canzone un po' datata (seppur sempre godibile). Nel complesso giudica che sia i fan delle due band del disco, sia i fan delle due band originali possono trovare qualcosa di estremamente gradevole in questo split.
