Cocaína en flor va ser una fragància femenina creada l'any 1933 per la marca de perfums catalana Parera (Badalona), que va esdevenir un dels seus productes estrella.

Els seus flascons eren d'un disseny exquisit que, segons Enric Satué, pràcticament eren «flascons sacralitzats que semblaven ofrenes votives paganes». Tan bon punt va ser creada va rebre una espectacular campanya de publicitat, va aparèixer a nombrosos anuncis a revistes il·lustrades com Estampa o Mundo Gráfico, i una presència continuada a diaris de tirada estatal com l'ABC. Alguns dels anuncis es dedicaven a aclarir que malgrat el seu nom la fragància no contenia drogues, tot i que el consum de cocaïna no estava mal vist a començaments del . Va comptar amb la mà de Pere Català i Pic per a cartells publicitaris i amb la veu de Carmencita Aubert a la ràdio, amb una cançó de Jaume Mestres. La publicitat descrivia les virtuts del perfum amb profusió i el presentaven com un «perfum misteriós» amb aires cosmopolites especialment dedicat per a la vida moderna amb la promesa al client d'un «exquisit aroma desconegut encara per allò modern, suau i maliciós, que proporcionava un gaudi nou i estrany, que subjuga, que atrau, que encisa».

In our prayers
We don't know why John Paul II wanted to hide this picture for years. The Vatican published this picture recently, for first time. This picture was taken by one of his security guards just when the Pope was attacked and was falling down in his Papamobil. You can see the pain in his face.
Take a look at the above picture. You can see Mother Mary holding John Paul II in Her arms when he was shot in 1981. This happened on May 13, 1981. Pope John Paul II was shot as he arrived in St. Peter's Square to speak to the people who had gathered there. When he was shot, he was holding the rosary, which he always carried. When he fell to the ground, out of nowhere, a woman rushed to his side and embraced him. That pic is shown above. The picture is said to have been taken by one of the gathered people who was busy taking Pope's pics with his camera. The woman vanished as quickly as she appeared.
The gunman was apprehended in the square and sentenced to life in prison. The pope was critically wounded but survived after surgery and a long recovery. The surprising fact is that all the bullets passed just past his vital internal organs. When he recovered finally, the first thing Pope asked for was his rosary. When he got it in his hands, he said that he felt Mother Mary directing the bullet's path through him. Sure, John Paul II was always in the habit of praying the rosary regularly. He had once said the best prayer I like is theRosary.
Joaquin Navarro Valls, who is the one spokesman from The Vatican, said that they made a lot of studies for years of this incredible picture and of course about the quality of the developing of the picture because when it was developed nobody could see very well because the image was not clear. Finally, and after so many controls and by looking and checking by all the experts in photography (around the world), they decided that there were no tricks in it and today they give us this beautiful gift from our Mother of God. You can see the Mother of God holding John Paul II in her arms. Beautiful right?
I don't know whether You will believe me or not. But many do.. and among those who believed, Bishop Thomas Wenski recreated the picture on a glass window at his Florida residence. You can see that below.
PLEASE READ WITH FAITH.
This is an awesome prayer.
Believe it and you shall be blessed.
The problem with many of us is that we don't believe that God will open a window and pour out blessings that we won't have room to receive them. I dare anyone to try God. He is true to His word. God cannot lie and His promises are sure.
Three things will happen to you this coming week:
(1) You will find favor with someone you don't expect;
(2) You will be too relevant to be ignored;
(3) You will encounter God and you will never remain the same again..
My prayer for you today:
The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hands that will send this message to others shall not labor in vain, the mouth saying Amen to this prayer shall laugh forever. Remain in God's love as you send this prayer to everybody on your list. Have a lovely journey of life! Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will never fail you because He is AWESOME !
If you truly need a blessing, continue reading this email:
Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to you that you abundantly bless my family and me. I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in you. Father, I send up a prayer request for blessings for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded this message on to.. And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything. I thank you in advance for your blessings.
Father God, deliver the person reading this right now from debt and debt's burdens. Release Your Godly wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that You have given me Father, for I know how wonderful and mighty You are and how if we just obey You and walk In Your word and have the faith of a mustard seed that You will pour out blessings. I thank You now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come because I know You are not done with me yet. In Jesus' name, I pray.

It's official: California submits its blueprint for its Exchange…
With last week's election result ensuring the continued implementation of the historic Affordable Care Act, the board of the newly-named "Covered California" Exchange met today to finalize its start-up operations and launch over the next two years. (We livetweeted the Board Meeting today @HealthAccess, transitioning from the #CAHBEx to #CoveredCA.)
Covered California will be the new marketplace under the Affordable Care Act to help California families and small businesses shop for health insurance and get subsidies to make such coverage affordable. The expansion of coverage through Medi-Cal and Covered California to millions of Californians starts January 1, 2014, with an "open enrollment" period to sign people up in the third-quarter of 2013.
The Board approved a grant application today that would request funding from the federal government to take the remaining steps to establish the Exchange. The previous 2 federal grants were for planning the Exchange, but this new establishment grant will fund the operations of Covered California for 2013 and through its first year of full operation in 2014. After this, Covered California will be self-sustaining through assessments on participating health plans of around 2-4%.
The application includes the basic blurprint of the Exchange's operations, including everything from information technology, a service center, to marketing and outreach efforts. Covered California will be requesting around $300 million per year through the end of 2014, with the total request at $706 million. Executive Director Peter Lee explained that this funding is the right amount to address the magnitude and diversity of California, and to incrementally invest in the building of a sustainable organization, not just operational funds for the three specific years. The staff plans to work toward creating a 3 month operating reserve by the end of 2014.
The Covered California Board also heard updates on a number of implementation issues:
CalHEERS Update – Staff reported that they have completed 83% of the 720 requirements they have laid out toward building the IT system. They will be releasing draft system requirements Friday, and stakeholders will be able to comment on these until November 30.
Service Center Update – Staff has begun searching for the physical spaces that will house service center sites, one in the Sacramento area, one in Southern or Central California. A third site will be housed in a county (counties have been invited to bid for this contract to be rewarded by January 31). Staff has also begin to recruit up to 850 positions for customer service.
Evaluation Plan – Staff has developed a logic model and are looking at data sources to work toward a comprehensive evaluation plan to ensure that Covered California operates as an evidence based organization.
Naming and Branding – Covered California has solidified a name, a logo, and a color scheme but staff are still focus group testing a tagline. This will be especially important when translation is necessary to reach limited English proficient customers.
Advisory Groups – Staff has extended deadline for nominations to the 3 stakeholder groups that will convene in January.
QHPs – Additionally the Board approved a notice of proposed rule making that will be release tomorrow in conjunction with the final solicitation for Qualified Health Plans (the plans that will be sold in the Exchange) that was released yesterday.
Finally, the Board also approved enhanced funding for contract organizations to provide Consumer Assistance and Obudsman services. There will be no new solicitations, but these funds will bolster capacity for organizations that already provide these services in partnership with the Department of Managed Health Care and the Department of Insurance.
Health Access California promotes quality, affordable health care for all Californians.

Global warming and hay fever in Ireland
By Dr Ranbir Kaulsay
Dr Ranbir Kaulsay gives a comprehensive update on the management of allergic rhinitis
This article's headline certainly sounds like a medical apocalypse indeed. But it is an undeniable fact that climate change and global warming are a reality.
The impact of such a change is wide and far-reaching and has even had an impact on our weather patterns. As far as Ireland is concerned, we have experienced milder winters and very pleasant summers over the last few years with some countries experiencing an increase in more extreme natural phenomena such as flooding unfortunately. Generally though it has resulted in much more pleasant weather in Ireland.
However, we have had some bizarre and unusual changes in our predicted weather patterns and these in turn have caused some differences in our flora and fauna. So all is not rosy, as we have seen a marked increase in CO2 temperature, which has led to a much longer and more intense pollen season.
There has also been a marked increase in temperature recently which has caused high levels of tree pollen to surge, and this has caused what is known as a 'pollen bomb' effect to occur. Dangerous increases in pollen levels have been noted to cause a lot of health concerns especially in patients who are asthmatic. Unfortunately, up to 80 per cent of patients with asthma also have coexisting hay fever and this may have detrimental effects on their health with sudden reductions in their lung function and an increase in bronchial hyper-responsiveness. This was recently seen in Melbourne, Australia, in November 2016 where an extreme weather event caused a spike in pollen which coincided with a thunderstorm that caused 35 patients to be admitted to intensive care units, 10 of whom died with previously undetected bronchial hyper responsiveness.
Ireland, our CO2 and pollen problem
Increased carbon dioxide levels, which are found to be higher in urban rather than rural areas, also cause pollen to increase in areas where there shouldn't be too high tree or grass pollen levels such as in cities. As we are all aware, CO2 levels continue to rise, especially in our cities, which is why there has been a global effort to try to reduce climate change.
In a recent article in the Irish Independent, it was pointed out that Ireland faces fines of €600m a year from the EU for failing to meet renewable energy targets and cutting carbon emissions by 2020.
Irish EU Commissioner Phil Hogan said there was confusion in some quarters that the 2020 targets under the EU Renewable Energy Directive would be merged into the more ambitious targets for 2030. This would give the Government some breathing space and lessen the risk of punitive fines.
"But that is not the case. The 2020 target must be adhered to," Mr Hogan said.
The Commissioner urged the Government to be more proactive in developing wind and wave energy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels in line with EU agreed targets.
Nonetheless, an increase in CO2 in general would be bad news for both the climate and will lead to an increase in our already increasing trend of hay fever.
Alan O'Reilly of Carlow Weather recently explained why pollen is on the rise, saying: "With high temperatures coming for the next few days the pollen will open up very quickly on the trees.
"Because it has been so wet people probably haven't been suffering. But the increase in temperatures will bring with it a sudden increase in pollen.
"Rain was keeping the pollen at bay, but with the dry, hot, sunny weather the trees will expose a lot more pollen. So, there will be a lot of pollen in the area for the next few days" (May 2019).
However, with the milder winter months just gone by, tree pollen started to pollinate early this year, with some patients already noted with tree pollen allergy in my clinics earlier than we would usually see them traditionally.
Useful tips for your patients from the Asthma Society of Ireland on how to survive hay fever season:
Talk to a doctor or pharmacist about taking medication to prevent/reduce symptoms. Don't wait until you feel unwell.
Keep an eye daily on our pollen tracker on asthma.ie.
Keep windows closed in your bedroom at night.
Keep windows and doors closed when the pollen count is high.
Stay indoors as much as possible on high pollen days.
Stay away from grassy areas, especially when grass is freshly cut.
Put Vaseline around your nostrils to trap pollen.
Wear wraparound sunglasses to stop pollen getting into your eyes.
Shower, wash your hair and change your clothes if you have been outside for an extended period.
Avoid drying clothes outdoors, or shake them outdoors before bringing them in.
Minimise your contact with pets who have been outdoors and are likely to be carrying pollen.
Consider a purifier with a built-in air quality sensor to remove allergens and pollutants from the air.
These are the usual tips that one would receive about practical suggestions, but very few of these work with a significant effect, especially during times of high pollen surges or high pollen seasons. It is imperative to plan ahead of time for patients who know that they suffer from hay fever so that optimum control can be attained early and well – especially for children and young adults sitting important exams during the summer months like the Junior Cert and Leaving Cert, not to mention all other summer university final examinations. An international study has shown that school children who suffer from hay fever are more likely to experience a noticeable drop in exam performance (ISAC study 1995/2007).
Unfortunately, it has been shown that most patients are unsatisfied with their current control of allergic rhinitis and many patients find themselves on multiple medications to control the disease process. It was found that the most common medications used were a combination of antihistamines and intranasal corticosteroids, still with less than adequate control.
Current guidelines for the treatment of allergic rhinitis based on the latest ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) criteria place intranasal corticosteroids as the first line of therapy for the treatment of the disease. Second generation antihistamines may be required as may ocular mast cell stabilisers (chromone medications). New combination intranasal antihistamine/corticosteroid sprays have proven effective in moderate to severe allergic rhinitis and several studies including a recent local study have found these an effective treatment.
Diagnosis of allergy
The definitive evidence of allergy, after appropriate history and examination, should be attained by either specific IgE measurements or by skin prick testing. There is little value of total IgE measurements and no role for non-medical tests such as kinesiology, VEGA testing or food intolerance testing for rhinitis.
The management of allergic rhinitis consists of four major categories of treatment, (1) environmental control measures and allergen avoidance, (2) pharmacological management, (3) immunotherapy, and (4) surgery.
Environmental control measures and allergen avoidance involve both the avoidance of known allergens (substances to which the patient has IgE-mediated hypersensitivity) and avoidance of non-specific, or irritant, triggers. Consider environmental control measures, when practical, in all cases of allergic rhinitis. This reinforces the need for proper and accurate allergy testing.
Pollens and outdoor moulds
Because of their widespread presence in the outdoor air, pollens can be difficult to avoid. Reduction of outdoor exposure during the season in which a particular type of pollen is present can be somewhat helpful. However, it is not ideal to restrict the movement of patients when the weather becomes better, nor is it possible in most cases.
In general, tree pollens are present in the spring, grass pollens from the late spring through summer (April to August), and weed pollens from late summer through autumn, but exceptions to these seasonal patterns exist. Particular area-specific pollens such as ragweed and rapeseed may also be of importance in certain parts of Ireland. Certain pollen counts tend to be higher on dry, sunny, windy days.
Outdoor exposure can be limited during this time, but this may not be reliable because pollen counts can also be influenced by a number of other factors. Keeping the windows and doors of the house and car closed as much as possible during the pollen season (with air conditioning, if necessary, on recirculation mode) can be helpful. Taking a shower after outdoor exposure can be helpful by removing pollen that is stuck to the hair and skin.
Despite these measures, patients who are allergic to pollens usually continue to be symptomatic during the pollen season and usually require some other form of management. As with pollens, avoidance of outdoor/seasonal moulds may be difficult. Symptomatic therapy with newer generation antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids and ideally immunotherapy for more severe cases may be necessary.
Depending on the allergen, environmental control measures for indoor allergens can be quite helpful. House dust mites are the most common cause of rhinitis throughout the world and this is also the case in Ireland where they are perennial allergens, however, they do tend to peak during the cooler months, when the windows are closed, and the central heating is on. This also coincides with a spike in rhinitis and asthma during the cooler months.
Covering the mattress and pillows with impermeable covers helps reduce exposure to dust mites. Bed linens should be washed every two weeks in hot water (60-90 ̊C) to kill any mites present. Thorough and efficient vacuum cleaning of carpets and rugs with a HEPA based vacuum can help, but, ideally, carpeting should be removed especially in the bedroom. The carpet can be treated with one of several chemical agents that kill the mites or denature the protein, but the efficacy of these agents does not appear to be dramatic.
Dust mites thrive when indoor humidity is above 50 per cent, so dehumidification is helpful, or better still opening the windows as much as possible. Indoor environmental control measures for mould allergy focus on reduction of excessive humidity. The environmental control measures for dust mites can also help reduce mould spores.
For animal allergy, depending on the strength of the allergy, complete avoidance is the best option. For patients who cannot or do not wish to avoid the pet, confinement of the animal in a non-carpeted room may be beneficial except for large animals where pre-dosing with antihistamines may be required for occasional contact, eg, horseriding classes, etc.
Washing a dog or cat with anti-allergy shampoo can help greatly. In all cases, immunotherapy is also available in respect to occupational allergy to animals, but this is normally restricted to occupational pet exposure due to costs (eg, veterinarians, jockeys).
Non-specific triggers
Exposure to smoke, strong perfumes and scents, fumes, rapid changes in temperature (vasomotor rhinitis), and outdoor pollution can be non-specific triggers in patients with allergic rhinitis. Consider avoidance of these situations or triggers if they seem to aggravate symptoms.
Antihistamines are the first line of treatment for most allergy symptoms and these medications have been in existence for over 60 years but have evolved slowly.
Older antihistamines such as chlorphenamine have significant side effects such as drowsiness and also have strong anti-cholinergic effects, eg, dry mouth, etc, and unfortunately these are still being used as first-line antihistamines today.
Loratadine, cetirizine and fexofenadine are newer antihistamines and these have evolved into levocetirizine and desloratadine, which are more effective and have fewer side effects. These preparations are available over-the-counter in some pharmacies with fexofenadine still needing a prescription.
One of the best and my personal new favourite is bilastine, because of its effectiveness, safety and non-drowsy property. As this is one of the newest antihistamines, it is still available only on prescription but is highly effective.
These nasal sprays remain the main treatments for rhinitis and are divided into:
1) Decongestant sprays – very effective over-the-counter medications but should never be used for more than five days continuously.
2) Intranasal corticosteroids – very effective in treating all the symptoms of rhinitis and can be used safely for prolonged treatment regimes.
3) Nasal saline washes and moisturisers – effective in washing out mucus and allergens and should be recommended.
4) Newer combination antihistamines and steroid therapy – extremely effective preparation available on prescription (Dymista) and has been proven to be effective for all types of rhinitis.
Intranasal ultraviolet phototherapy
The diagnosis and treatment of rhinitis has evolved and has improved the quality-of-life for our patients and their families, with a wide variety of options now available.
Rhinolight is a new and very impressive non-interventional and non-pharmacological treatment of rhinitis. This involves using set and safe ultraviolet lights that are administered into the nostrils for three minutes each time for up to six-to-eight sessions.
This is only done by trained medical personnel and reduces the mucus and allergy cells within the nostrils.
Effective, safe and a new treatment option for our patients. www.rhinolight.eu.
Immunotherapy (desensitisation)
A considerable body of clinical research has established the effectiveness of high-dose allergy subcutaneous injections in reducing symptoms and medication requirements. Success rates have been demonstrated to be as high as 80-90 per cent for certain allergens. It is a long-term process; noticeable improvement is often not observed for six-12 months, and, if helpful, therapy should be continued for three years.
Injectable immunotherapy is not without risk because severe systemic allergic reactions can sometimes occur. For these reasons, carefully consider the risks and benefits of immunotherapy in each patient and weigh the risks and benefits of immunotherapy against the risks and benefits of the other management options.
Indications: Immunotherapy may be considered more strongly with severe disease, poor response to other management options, and the presence of comorbid conditions or complications. Immunotherapy is often combined with pharmacotherapy and environmental control.
Administration: Administer immunotherapy with allergens to which the patient is known to be sensitive and that are present in the patient's environment (and cannot be easily avoided). The value of immunotherapy for pollens, dust mites, and cats is well established. The value of immunotherapy for dogs and mould is less well established.
Contraindication: Several potential contraindications to immunotherapy exist and need to be considered. Immunotherapy should only be performed by individuals who have been appropriately trained, who institute appropriate precautions, and who are equipped for potential adverse events. This route is still used extensively in the US and in other parts of Europe. In my allergy practices I use mostly sublingual immunotherapy.
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is currently increasing in use, particularly in Europe because of its safety and efficacy and the fact that it is licenced and reimbursable for some patients.
We have had two sublingual immunotherapy treatments for grass pollen registered and available to us (by GMS and on the Drugs Payment Scheme) since 2008.
Oralair (five-grass pollen extract) and Grazax (Timothy grass extract) have been used by me for patients with severe grass pollen allergy where standard antihistamine and other medicines fail to provide relief. We have many patients on or having completed three years of treatment.
It is then effective in dampening hay fever for at least five years after completion of treatment and as such may be considered to have a disease-modifying effect.
Sublingual immunotherapy for house dust mite allergy has been available and used for many years on an unlicensed 'named patient basis'. This has been used in liquid form as sublingual drops with good efficacy and safety, and the greatly anticipated tablet form of this treatment has recently been made available by a number of European allergy companies. One in particular has been manufactured and heavily researched for many years by the same company that makes Grazax and this is known as Acarizax. This tablet is composed of standardised extracts of the two most common species of dust mites, namely Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and D farina and is indicated for allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma due to house dust mite. It has also had a significant positive effect in reducing asthma exacerbations in patients with allergic asthma treated by this sublingual tablet. Hopefully this treatment will be registered by the HPRA and become available on the Drug Payment Scheme and GMS soon.
For some patients with recurrent sinusitis, nasal polyposis, septal deviation or refractory allergic rhinitis, nasal surgery will be necessary. Turbinoplasty or radiofrequency turbinoplasty may be the surgical procedure of choice to improve nasal congestion, and to improve ongoing symptoms of allergic rhinitis with or without intranasal medicated sprays and pharmacotherapy.
Nonetheless, control of rhinitis and allergies in general has improved significantly in recent years with many safe and effective treatments and options now available to our patients, young or old.

Battlefield LIVE Game: Team Death Match
TDM in The Battlefield LIVE Genre
Advanced Team Death Match in the Battlefield LIVE Theme
The Battlefield LIVE Death Match Game is a simple, eliminate the enemy LIVE PLAY. It is known as "Team Death Match." Gamers fight a battle of attrition. The Advanced TDM adds in a Mystery armor and Mystery Weapon box. Both teams can be allocated these extra props. Or you can run the mission twice, which one side getting the perks in each round. These are placed near the center of the battlefield equally distant from each team's base.
The mission for both teams is to find and kill as many of the enemy as possible while minimizing friendly casualties in close quarters fighting.
Delta Team Mission Briefing (TDM)
Because this game is great for CQB it can be played indoors or in a mobile field. But it also plays well outdoors. Teams receive unlimited respawns from their own team's Battle Box set as medic box (or as a combination box). The team with the least number of respawns plus any dead at mission end wins.
Game play includes basic gaming tactics or aiming and avoiding getting hit.
It is a great first game.
Just about everybody has an itchy trigger finger when they first arrive at a Battlefield LIVE™ venue.
The Team Death Match mission is perfect to release some tension.
Roughly equal team sizes.
Teams start at opposite ends of the battlefield.
Each team gets unlimited re-spawns from their base and everyone gets 3 hit points (hits they can take before they must go back and get a respawn).
Bravo Team Mission Briefing (TDM)
The battle box (set as a medic box) counts the number of respawns. The winning team is the one with less respawns.
You can also vary this mission by limiting the number of respawns.
The game usually goes for anywhere between 5 to 30 minutes, with an average of 15 minutes.
This mission is great warm-up/ice-breaker because every gamer, plays the whole mission and it is very forgiving of mistakes.
Suitable for beginners.
How To Integrate The Mystery Box Into the TDM Game Play
A good option, is to position a mystery armor box about 50 paces towards the opposition team.
Another 30 paces, towards the opposition team's base, place a mystery box.
The idea is the closer the gamer gets to the opposition team, the greater the potential rewards.
An Example Mission Briefing for the Advanced TDM
"Ok. Listen up. We are running a 15-minute team death match. You have 15 minutes to kill the opposite team as much as possible while ensuring your team doesn't die in the attempt. Keep your eyes up, hide and keep a look out for any and all opposition. You have unlimited re-spawns to assist you, but remember each time you are killed, is one more point to the opposition.To make life harder for you, everyone's hit points have been reduced to 12!
However, to give you a fighting chance of survival, a mystery armor box is close by. To trigger a random piece of body armor, push the green button on the box. Body armor absorbs damage.
Then, and this is only for the born gamblers, further towards the enemy is a mystery box, this will give you a random weapon emulation from a selection of over 100. If you're out of luck, you will end up with a terrible weapon like an axe or unarmed combat! For the lucky, however, there is a range of very powerful weapons like the MK 19 automatic grenade launcher or the 50-calibre machine gun.
The grenade launchers have an area effect, if you hit one of the opposition team, all the enemy gamers nearby receive damage as well! You must be alive to activate a mystery and you can only attempt a mystery once a minute. If you attempt to risk your luck again before the minute is out, your gaming gun will say "mystery lockout". Mystery upgrades are kept between respawns.
Let's move!"
Good source, excellent resources and backup. Easy people to deal with straight shooters (excuse the pun) inspire confidence. Product does what it's supposed to do... well.
Dave, Fiji

The Sunshine Coast has started a major promotional campaign in South Australia in advance of the start of Jetstar's direct service flights between Adelaide and Sunshine Coast Airport on 30 September.
The campaign includes promotions in cinemas, shopping centres, petrol stations and local media, and should be well received after Adelaide residents experienced one of the wettest and coolest winters in a number of years.
In the first ten weeks of winter, Adelaide's average temperature was just below 15C and there were 46 wet days out of 72 (up to 10 August). In contrast the Sunshine Coast averaged 22.5C for the same period with an average of over seven hours of sunshine per day.
Many webbed-feet Adelaide folk escaped to the Sunshine Coast via Brisbane over the winter, but for those wanting direct flights, Jetstar's flights will commence just in time for the South Australian spring school holidays.
Flights will will operate on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday each week and take just over two hours, arriving at Sunshine Coast Airport at 0850, just in time for a swim, spa or gourmet breakfast at one of the region's renowned markets.
The Jetstar flights will add to the record performance of Sunshine Coast Airport, which has led Australia's airport sector over the past year with ten successive months as Australia's fastest growing airport, according to official figures from the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE).
Commenting on the pre-launch campaign, CEO of Visit Sunshine Coast, Simon Latchford, said that many South Australians had visited the Sunshine Coast in recent years, but the trip was now easier and the destination offered even more attractions and activities.
"Our strategy has been to diversify our market base as widely as possible, and the start of direct Jetstar services from Adelaide complements significant growth in direct services from Sydney, Melbourne and across the Tasman," he said.
Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said that growing the interstate market was a key priority for the region.
Sunshine Coast Airport General Manager Peter Pallot welcomed news of the campaign.
"The new flights will make it so much easier for South Australian's to access the Sunshine Coast and we can't wait to see more of them enjoying their holidays in this beautiful region," he said.


We are constantly suppressing input from our senses, both consciously and unconsciously. When we take a moment to fully absorb what we see, hear, taste, touch, and smell, it brings us into the present moment. The resulting sense of presence and mindfulness empowers us to transcend distractions and appreciate where we are. If possible, follow along with this meditation outdoors!
Release the day's thoughts and worries; cultivate awareness and appreciation for the present moment. 10 minutes is all you need for this beginner-friendly practice that you can do anytime, anywhere.
We are part of nature and nature is part of us. This guided practice embraces and celebrates that connection. Even if you can't be outdoors for this practice, you can cultivate a sense of relaxed exhilaration just by mentally transporting yourself there.


Electric Cars: Are They Really A Dire Emissions Threat?
This seems to be our time for debunking dumb stories about plug-in electric cars.
First, we had to educate a Forbes columnist (and oil-industry consultant) about how the auto industry works.
Now, it's time to offer some gentle guidance to all those journalists who covered last month's release of a study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology that says, in essence, that plug-in cars are worse emitters of carbon dioxide on a wells-to-wheels basis than gasoline or diesel cars.
We were prompted by a piece on Jalopnik, but it was also covered in many other places.
In any case, we like data, we tend to like university studies, and we think that, if peer reviews of the Norwegian report hold up over time, it's a valuable contribution to the discussion.
But like all knowledge, there's some important context required to give media audiences a true sense of what it means.
The coverage of the Norwegian report highlights the reductionism often found in science coverage by quick-hit journalists, who take 20 minutes to cover the complex topics found at the intersection of energy policy and the global auto industry.
In almost all the coverage, there are a lot of qualifiers and caveats that reporters neglect in their eagerness to delineate the black and the white.
First, and by far most importantly, the study is more applicable to Europe than to the States.
Across Europe, the dominant fuel for electric grids is largely coal (with the exception of France, which has a huge amount of nuclear generation).
And in Europe, the baseline cars for comparison are much more efficient to start with: say, 40 mpg on average vs. 25 mpg for the States. Worse, differing test cycles between Europe and the U.S. make head-to-head comparisons quite challenging.
But about those grids: In the U.S., many electric utilities use more natural gas and--in some places--more renewables, including not only wind and solar but also hydro.
Thus the amount of carbon dioxide produced per kilowatt-hour across different U.S. grids varies by more than a factor of two, which makes it dangerous to generalize about the effect of electric cars.
And that's the biggest problem with the coverage, in our view: What's applicable in a comparison of far more fuel-efficient cars against electrics charged on European grids may be quite different from less efficient U.S. vehicles compared to plug-ins used in states with much cleaner grids.
A single coal plant in a particular grid may not make the plug-in emissions worse, but clearly electric cars are challenged in those states like North Dakota (the very worst) with 90-plus-percent coal.
On the other hand, California, which will buy more plug-ins than the next five states combined, has a grid that's somewhat cleaner than the U.S. average.
So how green your plug-in car is will vary considerably depending on where you plug it in.
Second, as a follow-on to the points above, how green your plug-in actually is depends not only on what grid you use, but what your comparison car is.
Jalopnik hedged somewhat in its piece by saying, "If you live somewhere with oil or coal-fired power plants, then having an electric car is actually far worse for the environment than a comparable gas or diesel car. This includes many areas of the U.S."
That's largely true, for some areas, if your comparison car is a 2012 Toyota Prius hybrid that gets a combined EPA gas mileage rating of 50 mpg.
It's not nearly as true if you're comparing to a more average U.S. vehicle, which gets 20 to 25 mpg.
A 2012 study by the Union of Concerned Scientists using the latest 2009 grid data has a nice map that breaks down the states into Good, Better, and Best areas for plug-in cars.
The group notes that almost half of Americans live in states where driving on grid power produces lower emissions than even the best hybrid vehicle (that Prius again).
While they're concentrated in a handful of states, it's far more people than you might guess just by looking at the list of states and their grid outputs.
A different study, the landmark 2007 effort jointly issued by the Electric Power Research Institute and the Natural Resources Defense Council, factors in estimates for improvements in the grid over time.
That means its conclusions are slightly more optimistic about plug-ins versus burning hydrocarbon fuels than the UCS study, which uses 2009 data only.
Finally, some number of electric-car drivers actually use renewable energy to recharge their cars--either through photovoltaic solar panels on their homes, or by purchasing electricity from a renewable energy company.
We're not aware of any data on that topic--we'd love to see it if it exists--but buying a plug-in car seems to spur some drivers to consider their total energy usage and its sources.
And this gets to the final big point: The grid in the U.S. and most likely much of the rest of the world will get greener over time.
No longer are utilities proposing to build dozens of new coal-fired power plants. Instead, growing supplies of inexpensive natural gas--which is less carbon-intensive than coal--are likely to make up an increasing proportion of electricity generation.
In addition, renewable portfolio standards are being enacted in more states, and energy storage (lithium-ion cells, imagine!) will get cheaper at large scale for utilities.
Those two developments, together, will let utilities buffer peaky renewable power generation that can occur at the wrong time in the demand cycle.
So plug-in vehicles will get cleaner over time. Gasoline cars burning dead dinosaurs won't.
There's been a small but vocal constituency that maintains the pollution and energy that results from mining and refining the minerals that go into batteries and electric equipment more than offsets the reduction in carbon from using electricity rather than gasoline.
The Norwegian report focuses on those issues as ancillary effects, but notes that "results are sensitive to assumptions regarding...vehicle lifetime, and battery replacement schedules."
It says that if you assume an electric car only lasts 60,000 miles, it's no better than a comparable European diesel car.
Given that Nissan assumes that its Leaf electric cars will still have 70 percent of their battery's energy capacity left after 10 years at 12,500 miles per year, that seems rather pessimstic.
The battery packs themselves, on the other hand, will not likely become a pollution issue.
Every maker of hybrids or plug-ins already has a recycling plan for old, damaged, or replaced packs in place.
Those packs are valuable--some contain precious metals--and in the case of the larger packs from battery electric vehicles, they will likely have a long post-automotive life in uses like home energy storage (especially when tied to photovoltaics).
In the end, we understand why journalists take this approach. Catchy headlines feed people's preconceptions, play against stereotypes, and--in some cases--play directly into audience stereotypes: Prius drivers are insufferable wimps and green posers, and plug-in electric car drivers are even worse.
And Jalopnik isn't New Scientist, nor should it be.
But its piece and the rest could have met its goal and been much better if it were a bit more technically informed.
It would have required a handful of wording changes from a position of knowledge--rather than taking a single study and generalizing madly.
Over time, we hope, more automotive journalists will acquire that knowledge and couch their articles accordingly.
We're here to help. Just drop us a line.

Q: Another if(!$scope.$$phase) $scope.$apply() szenario - need help for clearance I have an Angular form with dynamical many subforms. The first form won't get resetted after submit and the subforms will be resetted on every submit.
We can use this whole form more than once, if the user doesn't reload the page.
So after validation and submit, I don't reset the first form, but let the user click it through again and he can add some additional subforms (if nothing changes).
The validation only appears if the user clicks on submit, so the scope variable subFormSubmitted gets true and the required error is still true. e.g.
subForm.salutation.$error.required && subFormSubmitted

On first pageload - everything works fine. When I try to submit the subform, without entering something, the required validation gets shown.
The problem is, after he submitted the form the first time, and he doesn't change anything in the first form and he gets to the dynamical forms the second time, and just click on submit, without entering something, the model doesn't get updated and no validation is shown, although the scope variables has the right value.
The variables
subForm.salutation.$error.required && subFormSubmitted

evaluates to true when I check it in the webdeveloper. However, when I focus an input and type something in, the required validation immediately appears on the other inputs. Also, when I change something in the first form - and then enter the subforms, the validation shows correctly when I press submit.
So I thought, that could be a problem with applying the scope.
What I did after some try and errors, I got a solution that works:
I added
if (!$scope.$$phase) {
    $scope.$digest();
}

to the scope function that gets called when I press submit.
This works fine, but after some research, I found out that this is an anti pattern:
Why is using if(!$scope.$$phase) $scope.$apply() an anti-pattern?
So, can someone help me and tell me what's the "right" way to solve this problem?
Basically I controll the visibility of the forms with ng-show=firstFormSubmitted.
$scope.addSubForm = function() {
            $scope.firstFormSubmitted = true;

I hope you could understand my problem, sorry for the bad english

A: $scope.$apply and $scope.$digest are meant be executed in callbacks that run asynchronously (after the initial digest cycle): AJAX requests, setTimeout/setInterval/setImmediate, non-$q promises, DOM event listeners, etc.
It is Angular's job as a framework to do it automatically in all asynchronous built-ins ($http, $timeout, directives), and it handles the job. Well mannered third-party extensions do the same thing.
The reason why !$scope.$$phase && $scope.$digest() can be considered an antipattern is that in well-shaped app the developer always knows if the code is performed on digest or not, thus this check is redundant. And if it's not, this is the indicator of some flaws in application design.

The two split the season series this year
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 18, 2021) – The time has come. The quest to earn the Southern Conference's automatic qualifying bid to go to the NCAA Tournament begins tomorrow. The Bucs drew the #6 seed and will face the tournament-host Samford Bulldogs. Each team won their respective home game during the regular season.
Friday, Nov. 19 – East Tennessee State vs. Samford – 8:30 p.m. EST / ESPN+
ABOUT ETSU
After dropping their last four regular season matches, the Bucs (11-16, 7-9 SoCon) enter the conference tournament with the same conference record from last spring. This is the first time since 2009 that the Bucs finished a full fall season with a conference record under .500, when they were still in the Atlantic Sun conference. The Bucs are tasked with facing a hot Samford team that has won their last six matches, five of which came in Birmingham. The Bucs offense has continued to run through the combo of Josannah Vazquez (Mansfield, Texas) and Sara Esposito (Pianiga, Venezia, Italy). In her first season back from playing beach volleyball, Vazquez led the Bucs with 320 kills and 3.33 kills/set. Vazquez earned Second-Team All-Conference recognition for her performance. Esposito, in her final year, notched 307 kills on .228 hitting, the highest mark among hitters with at least 50 kills this season. This is Esposito's second season amassing 300 kills in a season, doing so in 2019 when she recorded 305. Esposito broke her career-high kills in a match twice this season, notching 22 kills in a four-set win over The Citadel on the road, and ended her fantastic year with 23 kills in the four-set loss to Wofford on senior night. Esposito earned First-Team All-Conference recognition, the only official right-side hitter to be named First-Team. Freshman phenom Caroline Dykes (Flower Mound, Texas) has continued to put up big numbers for the Bucs offensively and defensively. Dykes leads the team with 867 assists and 9.03 assists/set. Dykes posted a career-high 51 assists in the loss against UNCG, the highest mark for a freshman setter in the conference this season. The freshman also has 18 double-doubles this season, the most by a true freshman in the last decade. She has the fourth-most double-doubles in a season, behind ETSU Volleyball legend Megan Devine's 22 set her senior year. Dykes earned a spot on the All-Freshman team. Dykes is second on the team in digs behind Florida State transfer Taylor Roberts (Sneads, Fla.), who has been the starting libero all season. Roberts has enjoyed a career year, tallying 417 digs and 4.34 digs/set thus far, more than she put up in her three seasons down in Tallahassee. Vazquez joins the trio as the only three Bucs to have more than 200 digs this season. The Bucs rank fourth in the conference with 16.38 digs/set and first in assists/set with 12.14. At the net, Lundyn Coffman (Nolensville, Tenn.) has also seen a career year, putting up 14 solo blocks and 20 aces. The junior had nine solo blocks and four aces in her career entering this season. ETSU sits first in the conference in assists/set (12.54) and fourth in digs/set in conference-only matches (17.31).
SCOUTING SAMFORD
After a slow start to conference play and no road wins until their final match of the season, the Bulldogs have hit stride at the right time, winning their last six matches to end the regular season. In this run, the Bulldogs have only lost three sets, taking a 18-3 set differential into the tournament. The Bulldogs are coming off their first road victory of the season, downing Furman in straight sets.
The last time ETSU was in Birmingham, the Bulldogs took the match 3-1 to notch their fourth-straight four-set win. Vazquez led the Bucs with 21 kills, while Samford's Kenya McQuirter posted a match-high 22. The Bulldogs notched 14 blocks in the win while ETSU managed just five. The Bucs hit an even .150 on the afternoon, as Esposito was the only other Buccaneer in double figures in kills. The all-time series is tied at 10.

Science Loses in Budget Blueprint
by Audrey Lee '16 and ScM '17
Have you ever stopped to think about how medications, such as Advil and Tylenol, were developed? Or even how the fruits and vegetables you eat were produced? The answer to these questions (and many, many others) rests in the basic scientific and medical research performed in laboratories across the nation and around the world. It is hard to imagine that some of the greatest advances in medicine were serendipitously discovered at a small laboratory benchtop. However, it is even harder to imagine what the effects of President Trump's proposed budget cuts to basic scientific and medical research.
Former President Barack Obama visiting an oncology research laboratory at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
 The budget blueprint proposed earlier this month outlines reductions to many federal science agencies. Not surprisingly, among the hardest hit by the budget axe will be the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) [1]. Included in the proposed budget is an 18% cut from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), equivalent to $5.8 billion, and almost a 20% cut to the Department of Energy's Office of Science, equivalent to $900 million [2]. Although it may seem that these drastic reductions will only affect a handful of federal agencies, funding from the NIH trickles down to more than 2,600 institutions around the country [3]. Fortunately, scientific research has bipartisan defenders in Congress who are likely to oppose the deep cuts. However, unfortunately, the proposed budget is a reflection of the administration's lack of value for scientific research [4].
Some researchers noted that labs would have to abandon research projects and cut staff. In a typical laboratory, there is a principal investigator who is analogous to the general manager of a professional sports team. The principal investigator is responsible for hiring new researchers and obtaining funding for research projects, and serves as an essential resource for other laboratory members. Then there are postdoctoral researchers, graduate students and laboratory technicians who serve as the coaches of the team. Their knowledge and expertise guide the players of the team, or the research assistants, who are consistently learning by carrying out experiments.
To gain insight into the process of funding research, the importance of basic scientific research and the implications of the budget blueprint, I spoke to a senior scientist and professor, running her own laboratory at Brown University. In order to maintain privacy and confidentiality, I will refer to her as Professor Jane Doe, Ph.D. She explained that the majority of basic research is funded by the federal government. More specifically, in the biomedical sciences, most of research funding comes directly from the NIH. Professor Doe mentioned that there are other sources of funding, including charitable foundations such as the American Heart Association and the Susan Komen Foundation. However, these foundations are focused on particular diseases, and the level of funding does not match that of the federal government. She explained that before 1950, research was fairly inexpensive. Most laboratories were just one person with a research assistant. As a result, the cost of materials and salaries was low and endowments from universities and hospitals were sufficient to support research projects. Advancements in the scientific community, including the increased sophistication and complexity of equipment and experiments, the number of people on a laboratory team, research has become more expensive.
When asked about the significance of basic science research, Professor Doe raved about the effects of the polio vaccine, RNA interference (RNAi), and CRISPR/Cas9, among others. She explained:
The development of the polio vaccine involved over 125 different strains of viruses and various tissues [5]. The success of this vaccine saved millions of dollars for the country. Consider the permanent medical assistance needed or the work days lost by polio victims. The vaccine absolved these economic obstacles, having a massively positive effect on the country's economy.
RNAi was discovered using a clear roundworm. This technique allows harmful genes to be successful knocked out, thus preventing the deleterious effects of these genes from being expressed. The implications include furthering basic research in many fields and medical applications.
Finally, CRISPR/Cas9 was found in a bacterial strain. It is currently the gold standard for genetic manipulation, allowing researchers to easily and precisely edit parts of the genome by removing, adding or altering sections of DNA.
Each of these monumental discoveries were made in laboratory that likely received federal funding.
Professor Doe called the effects of the proposed budget buts "disastrous." She went on to describe these effects stating that universities and hospitals do not have the necessary funds to make up for the loss of research grants. If laboratories are unable to fund their research projects and support the salaries of paid laboratory members, then people are laid off and laboratories close down. Even if research funds do become available in the future, senior scientists will have to start building their laboratories from scratch all over again, having lost years of experience. Given the great effects that basic research has on the nation's health and economy, she pointed out that there will likely be setbacks nationwide in areas outside of just basic science research. Although there are nonfederal sources that support research funding too, these sources are a very small amount of the total.
Living in an advanced society, we have the knowledge, tools and motivation to make an everlasting impact on the nation through basic research. There is current research that needs to continue and much more that still needs to be discovered. Hopefully, the current administration and others will realize that, and make the upcoming budget and policies reflect this accordingly.

Taking wellness to another level, halotherapy—a.k.a. salt therapy—remains a top spa trend. (Halo is Greek for salt.) Salt therapy is similar to spending time in the salty sea air, which offers many more benefits than just relaxation on the beach.
Ancient healers and philosophers recommended salt inhalation for the respiratory system and health problems. Dry salt therapy originates from speleotherapy (cave therapy) and the Wieliczka salt cave in Poland, where workers exhibited fewer respiratory illnesses. There are thousands of salt rooms in Europe and beyond.
The benefits of salt therapy are wide-ranging. Salt levels affect our cell activity, energy and blood sugar levels. A natural disinfectant, salt is antimicrobial, and antibacterial. Salt comes in empty processed forms or healthier pure sea salt (Himalayan and Dead Sea salt) that contain 84 elements and trace elements found in the human body. Dry salt air is more powerful than moist air.
The negatively charged ions in salt improve our health and mood. Inhaling particles may reduce inflammation and mucus in the lungs, improving respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis, sinus congestion and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Scientific studies show that people with asthma and other ailments breath easier after halotherapy.
Spa experts note that the concentration of particles in halotherapy is about 10 to 15 times the concentration found by the sea. A 45-minute session is equal to three days by the sea. "Kinetically activated dry salt particles are like an army of janitors helping to detox the respiratory system," explains Ulle Pukk, founder of Salt Chamber Inc. In some facilities, a halogenator processes salt into microparticles dispersed in controled amounts.
There are close to 200 salt rooms or beds in the U.S. Some facilities offer massage and other treatments in the rooms so you can literally "recharge" from two treatments in one. Salt beds or booths only require 15 to 20 minute sessions as the salt concentration is higher. Spa packages include unlimited monthly visits and children's rooms. Testimonials from clients support the health claims and many say they have less need for inhalers and decongestants.
Similar to a meditation session, you breath deeply while listening to calming music and focusing on the natural beauty of the salt crystals. The pure environment is precisely balanced with 40 to 50 percent humidity and 70 to 75 degrees F temperatures. The average service costs $25 to $45 and lasts 45 minutes.
Breathing salty air is a refreshing ritual to add to your wellness routine. Experience natural detoxification and see for yourself if you breathe easier.

Looking to possibly contribute some Photoshop work here! Here is one of my planets, let me know what you think!
I was thinking of using free stock images from NASA to give a more realistic texture to the planets.
Would make a neat, unique class-D planet.
I used to be Areze. I lost access to my old account.
Just in case you didn't have it already, here's Lance Gharat's site, where you can find a great Fractal Planet Generator ! I used version 1.00 and now it's at 4.0b4 and it have vastly improved !
I accept my other planets were not good. Does this look decent?
I think the reflective spot is a bit too prominent though. Other than that the planet looks great.
I agree about the spot. Here is another render and two others to think about. I can do larger images if they are useful.
Very nice planets indeed !
I gave some of them urban lights on the dark side. I'm not sure if that fits with Naev.
I have some images of planets here, mostly public domain pics of the moon and mars that were edited in various programs by yours truly. Here's some and their negative images which I thought looked kind of cool as well. I have more too if you would like to see them.
I made some planet graphics some time ago wich maybe are usefull.
Just ask me if you need another lighting or more planets.
I uploaded some planets I found on public domain sources; some of them have been slightly altered by me, but not much. The planet class is written in the comment. All of the uploaded planets fall under WTFPL. The uploaded images are at the end of this post.
Other interesting planets I have found on the Internet, but all of them are small.
Only planet6.png (class D maybe?) looks useful, for a small "full city" planet, it reminds me a bit of Star Wars. . All other planets have a too large shadow IMO and they also look pretty bad compared to Naev's other planets.
They don't look too bad, but they really could use a shadow IMO.

The Good, Bad, Ugly and Awesome
Written by Ron Collins on September 17, 2013
Some good news in a bad world.
A new program for boys, Trail Life USA, was recently launched as an alternative to Boy Scouts. If your moral compass has a problem with sending your boy to an organization that after 100 years now supports the flagrant disregard of nature that exists with homosexuality, this program is for you. The motto for Trail Life is "Walk Worthy".
More than 1200 men from 44 states participated in the launch of the program. Former scouts and scout leaders are behind the effort, and with no shame announced "there's no mistake that Trail Life USA is based on the Bible" and "It's God-honoring. It's very Christ-centered." Click the link above for more information and to show your support for this organization.
Wrap your head around this logic.
Here is the headline: "Obama's Thoughtful Diplomatic Triumph on Syria Leaves His Critics Speechless".
The article claims, according to the White House, Obama has been working with Russia since last year on a diplomatic solution to Syria. It also claims that if somehow, someway Syria does not comply with said resolutions, its Russia's fault.
I believe the critics of Obama's foreign policy are speechless because it resembles the diplomatic actions taken by 2nd graders in a sandbox. The left has become absolutely intellectually dishonest. The right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing in Washington. A year-wide Red Line, a muddled purpose, no clear goals and all the while arming rebels that share the same ideology of those who perpetrated 9/11. Yes, we are speechless because we do not believe anyone can be this stupid.
Can't let it go.
Racism exists because_____________. You fill in the blank. A new "study" shows that counties with high concentrations of slavery 150 years ago are now filled with "conservatives that express colder feelings towards African Americans." That is to say if you live in a county that once held large slave populations, you will most likely "identify as a Republican, express opposition to race-coded policies such as affirmative action, and express greater racial resentment towards African Americans."
I have to wonder what the odds are of seven, eight or nine generations still living in the same county? With nothing scientific to back it up, I say its slim. My conclusion: it must be in the water. Water our government regulates, so its really the government's fault. That explanation is about as scientific as the ones these liberal researchers conducted. I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express.
So, lets finish out with some more good news.
House Republican leadership is furious with ultra-conservative Sens. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Ted Cruz (R-TX). These gentlemen must be doing something right because they are sure ticking off all the right, and left of right, congressional critters.
How far we have progressed and digressed at the same time from those things that matter. Following a document that was written to restrain government and ensure that the rights of the people are not infringed upon by a small group of know-it-alls gets you enemies on both sides of the aisle.

Our school Chaplain, Angus visits Carlisle Primary School each Monday & Tuesday.
Chaplains offer a formal Christian presence in the school community, representing the local churches in a broad non-sectarian sense, and are available to students, school staff and parents.
Chaplaincy can be different from school to school depending on the needs of the school and the particular skills and abilities of the Chaplain. One-on-one pastoral care of students is a part of all Chaplains' responsibilities and this often extends to the school employees and to the families of students in the school community. Many Chaplains are also involved in the running of programs which seek to address the needs of groups of students, such as grief and loss, anti-bullying, or self- esteem programs. These are often run in collaboration with members of the student services team. The range and scope of a Chaplain's role will be set out in the Chaplaincy Local Agreement.

Viral Images From Catalonia Referendum Vote Show Police Brutality
A vote on independence from Spain resulted in violence.

Grace Lisa Scott
10.1.2017 9:47 PM
In what will no doubt be remembered as a dramatic day in Spain's history, the Catalonian government says that over 761 people were injured when police attempted to prevent an independence vote from happening across the region on Sunday. Spanish officials also announced that 12 police officers had been hurt.
A backlash from the Spanish government had been anticipated, as Madrid had declared the vote illegitimate and illegal while Catalonians camped out in primary schools all weekend in order to use them as polling stations on Sunday.
But the aggressive police crackdown on voters Sunday seemed to surprise nearly everyone, including foreign officials. "Violence can never be the answer! We condemn all forms of violence and reaffirm our call for political dialogue," Charles Michel, the prime minister of Belgium said on Twitter.
"Increasingly concerned by images from Catalonia," Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted. "Regardless of views on independence, we should all condemn the scenes being witnessed and call on Spain to change course before someone is seriously hurt. Let people vote peacefully."
Images that surfaced on social media Sunday showed chaos and unrest as Catalonians continued to try to vote on a non-legally binding referendum, and police attempted to shut down polling stations and disrupt rallying.
This video of police attempting to eject Catalonians from what appeared to be a voting center was shared profusely on social media. The source of the video is unknown, but the graphic video was picked up and shared by the BBC and other news agencies.
Another video showed masked police coming into voting centers and disrupting the vote.
Although the Catalonian rallies and voting appeared to be largely peaceful, this video (posted by the ministry of the interior) from Sant Joan de Vilatorrada shows a Guardia Civil officer being hit with a chair after moving through a smashed window into a polling station.
Photos of injured civilians also surfaced online throughout the day.
Another video showed what The Guardian said was police removing voters near a polling station outside Guinardò market in Barcelona.
Several calls have now been made for the prime minister of Spain, Mariano Rajoy, to step down in the wake of the violence. Over in the capital of Madrid, there was a rally in support of Catalonians' right to vote, and calling for Rajoy's resignation.
The modern Catalonian independence movement dates pretty far back; the territory has its own language and cultural identity, both of which were aggressively repressed under the Franco regime. Since regaining some autonomy within the country following Franco's death, the movement gained significant traction again when the Spanish financial crisis hit in 2008, plunging the country into recession and unemployment.
But the independence referendum was in many ways more likely to be seen as symbolic than as a call to arms.
According to The Guardian, a recent Catalan poll found that 70 percent of Catalonians wanted a referendum on the region's future independence. However, support for actual independence was only around 41 percent. Following today's actions by the Spanish government, the country may have become more polarized.

Tokyo 2020 Olympics is Underway
It is always said that it is better late than never. The Olympics was originally scheduled to be held initially in the summer of 2020 in Tokyo, Japan. However, the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic postponed the mega event that occurs every 4 years. However, extensive research on Covid-19 and the invention of vaccines mean that the games could still be conducted amid strict pandemic protocols. Tokyo has taken the initiative to proceed with the Olympic games in July 2021.
As of now, only two countries have pulled out of the Tokyo Olympics – North Korea and Guinea. Some Czech, US, and British athletes have also pulled themselves out of the Olympics as they are infected with Covid-19. Covid-19 also showed its presence in the games village, where several athletes were found to be Covid-19 positive. Games related Covid-19 cases have till date shot off to 155, of which 20 are residing in the village. Some well-known athletes have also been affected by the deadly virus, including Czech beach volleyball player Ondrej Perusic, Dutch tennis player Jean-Julien Rojer, U.S. tennis player Coco Gauff, British shooter Amber Hill, and Russian swimmer Ilya Borodin.
Russian athletes will be participating in the Tokyo Olympics as ROC, or Russian Olympic Community. Russians are not allowed to use their flag or national anthem in the event as the World Anti-Doping Association, or WADA, has banned Russia from participating in Olympics for 4 years, which has now been cut down to 2 years. As a result, 335 Russian athletes, who have cleared themselves of being unaware of doping scandals, will now participate under the name ROC.
The tournament kicked off well for India, with Mirabai Chanu from Manipur, clinching the silver medal in women's weightlifting in the 49kg category. She became the second person to get an Olympic medal in weightlifting after Karnam Malleshwari's bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Mirabai lifted a total of 202kg to secure the second spot after China's Hou Zhizhi, who lifted 210kg in total, creating Olympic record. The veteran badmintonist and Rio Olympic's silver medallist, PV Sindhu, the boxing legend and London Olympic's bronze medallist, Mary Kom, and the Indian men's hockey team have started well in their Olympics campaign.
