Q: python argparse : how to override all other parameters - like --help does in most programs? We have a bunch of scripts that use a standard set of parameters. These are defined in a class that all scripts use. Each scripts can add additional parameters as needed.
I'm trying to add a new parameter that should act like --help in that if present, all other parameters are ignored. When the new parameter (--doc_string) is given, I want all other parameters to be ignored, I will print a specific string and exit. Is there a way to do this with argparse?
I've looked at using groups like this:
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='PROG')
group1 = parser.add_argument_group('docs', 'doc printing')
group1.add_argument('--doc_string', action = 'store_true', help='print the doc string and exit')
group2 = parser.add_argument_group('group2', 'group2 description')
group2.add_argument('--bar', required=True, help='bar help')
group2.add_argument('--blah',required=True, help='url used to test.')
parser.parse_args()

But when run with just --doc_string, I still get the message --bar is required. Exclusive groups isn't right either.
I've also looked at subclassing argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter or argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter or argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter but can't get a handle on how to use those to accomplish what I'm trying to do.

A: Register your own action with the parser.  Then you can do it the same way --help, --version etc do it, i.e. by specifying the action.
import argparse

class DocstringAction(argparse.Action):

    def __call__(self, parser, namespace, values, option_string=None):
        print('see ya later alligator')
        parser.exit()

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='PROG')
parser.register('action', 'docstring', DocstringAction)
group1 = parser.add_argument_group('docs', 'doc printing')
group1.add_argument('--doc_string', nargs=0, action='docstring', help='print the doc string and exit')
group2 = parser.add_argument_group('group2', 'group2 description')
group2.add_argument('--bar', required=True, help='bar help')
group2.add_argument('--blah',required=True, help='url used to test.')
parser.parse_args()

If you don't need any arguments for the docstring action, then you could (should) push the nargs=0 into DocstringAction.__init__ so that it's not necessary to specify that.

Lloyd "Tud" Krohn has been building giant model airplanes out of metal and sticking them on poles in his yard for years.
Call ahead to ask permission from Tud before you visit. Northeast of Evansville. I-64 exit 29B onto I-164/Hwy 57 north. Make a quick right onto Nobles Chapel Rd. Drive one mile, then turn right onto North Rd. Drive south, and just before you cross over I-64 turn right onto Dassel Drive. This road will bend sharply to the left, which takes you to the yard full of airplanes.
I stopped by on my way to STL and met the owner of this roadside attraction. He goes by "Tud" -- Lloyd "Tud" Kohn. He was out waving to the traffic going by, and was very happy to see me when I stopped to snap some pics.
Tud loves to talk and show off his work. He welcomed me to come around and get really up close with them. If you've got time, Tud will talk your ear off. He would buy plastic model kits and then scale them up and make these out of metal from his shop. Amazingly enough, he doesn't even like the plastic model kits (He doesn't have the patience for them!). He's says he'll continue to add more as long as he feels up to it.
You can see them plenty well enough by running up to his backyard fence.
A home along I-64, outside Evansville, Indiana has several large model airplanes and helicopters in the back yard. They can be seen a couple miles east of the I-164 bypass exit on I-64. Very interesting and well done.
I've noticed this many times while passing by this particular Evansville, Indiana exit. Someone has lots of big model airplanes in their yard! They are amazing to see! It looks almost like these model planes just landed in the front yard. They can be seen from the interstate.

Installed the HD solo rack I had modified to haul my T-Bag Route 66. When using rear seat for the bag, you have to polish fender each time you remove the seat. I only have a seat on when hauling a bag. Now no need to put rear seat on. Rack will only be on with a bag on it.
So my Gunship grey FLHXSE was de-cat and baffles redone today. What do you guys think of the dyno graf?
I added the paint matched Headlight bezel trim piece to the front of the bike.
Installed aux. road lights. The kit is not designed to work with the CVO LED turn signals! But with a bit of cutting, splicing, and destroying the kits turn signal internals ……. she's ALIVE!
The view outside my Garage this morning.... O-H...I-O!
My view the same day you took that pix. Heading home today. Hope it's all gone.
King tour pak. Gotta have one.
Just picked up a 2019 FLHXSE. Added a color-matched, quick-detach King Tour Pak with lighting, luggage rack, speakers and a remote lock; CVO heated tour seat; Freedom Shield; highway pegs; garage door opener (not the $140 MoCo one); V&H headers, Neighbor Hater mufflers and tuned it; setup the headset; and connected the wireless remote module for my Gerbing clothing. Oh - and the kids named her Harley-quinn (after the super hero).
If anyone is interested in how I setup the garage door opener to operate by flashing the lights for $34 in parts, hit me up and I'll be happy to share the details. It's really easy.
I am interested in how you installed the electronic lock on the tour pack.
X2. I would like to put power locks on my dads 2019 triglide for him.

"The Woman in White: Joanna Hiffernan and James McNeill Whistler" by Margaret F. MacDonald
Welcome to Museum Reads, the Newport Art Museum's Art-Themed book group for adults. We meet monthly, at the Museum and virtually, for discussion, and frequently are joined by the author.
The 2022 Museum Reads calendar begins with a fascinating look at the partnership of artist James McNeill Whistler and his chief model, Joanna Hiffernan, and the iconic works of art resulting from their life together.
In 1860 James McNeill Whistler (1834–1903) and Joanna Hiffernan (1839–1886) met and began a significant professional and personal relationship. Hiffernan posed as a model for many of Whistler's works, including his controversial Symphony in White paintings, a trilogy that fascinated and challenged viewers with its complex associations with sex and morality, class and fashion, academic and realist art, Victorian popular fiction, aestheticism and spiritualism. This luxuriously illustrated volume provides the first comprehensive account of Hiffernan's partnership with Whistler throughout the 1860s and 1870s—a period when Whistler was forging a reputation as one of the most innovative and influential artists of his generation. A series of essays discusses how Hiffernan and Whistler overturned artistic conventions and sheds light on their interactions with contemporaries, including Gustave Courbet, for whom she also modeled. Packed with new insights into the creation, marketing, and cultural context of Whistler's iconic works, this study also traces their resonance for his fellow artists, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edgar Degas, John Singer Sargent, and Gustav Klimt.
We are delighted that author and curator Margaret F. MacDonald will join us in conversation via Zoom from Scotland!

Ajax Amsterdam have once again called for the KNVB to ban artificial surfaces for the next two years after talks at the general meeting of shareholders.
Leaders of the Dutch giants have often voiced their opinion over the use of astro turf for Eredivisie fixtures and training with PEC Zwolle, Excelsior, Heracles Almelo, ADO Den Haag, VVV-Venlo, Sparta Rotterdam and Roda JC all using the cost effective pitch.
De Joden have made a strong signal to the clubs by stating they will not loan any players to the seven clubs mentioned.
According to reports of Dutch media, Marc Overmars confirmed the rumours at the club's annual shareholder meeting where they mentioned the injury troubles the grass creates.


Berca Airfield is a former civil airport and military airfield, located in the Al Birkah suburb of Benghazi, Libya.
The facility appears to be a pre-World War II civil airport which may have also been used by the Italian Regia Aeronautica Air Force. After the Italian invasion of Egypt and the arrival of the German Luftwaffe in 1941, it was used by the Axis as a military airfield.
After the seizure of Bengazi by the British Eighth Army during the Western Desert Campaign in early 1943, it was used by the United States Army Air Force during the North African Campaign by the 98th Bombardment Group, which flew B-24 Liberator heavy bombers from the airfield between 26 March-4 April 1943.
In the 1950s and 1960s Berka II was Detachment 3 (a radar site ) of the 633rd Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, which had its main site at Wheelus Air Force Base at Tripoli and Detachment 2 at Misurata, both in Libya. Not sure when these were activated/ deactivated, but I was personally stationed in Benghazi from October 1956 until the beginning of December 1957. At the time, I seem to recall spelling Berka was with a 'k', not a 'c'.
Its subsequent postwar history is unknown, today the area has been rebuilt into part of the urban area of Benghazi.
From about 1960 to 1967 or thereabouts the airstrip was used as a base by World Wide Helicopters Ltd who were flying both small fixed wing aircraft and helicopters in support of oil exploration activity in the desert.


"I think the effectiveness was questionable when the ban was originated in 1994. It was intended to ban all different types of assault weapons. The manufacturers kind of circumvented those regulations with design modifications so these weapons that are still on the market today still have the ability to fire rapidly, still highly accurate, still can shoot over a tremendous distance and actually can carry a higher, more powerful caliber of bullet as well," said Rob Schrimshaw, Indiana Partnership to Prevent Firearm Violence.
The groups are holding a news conference Tuesday. They will focus on high-powered rifles like the SKS assault rifle used by Kenneth Anderson in last Wednesday's deadly gun battle.
The SKS??? First off the SKS is not an assault rifle (fully automatic). But that was the reporter saying that. I tend to give them some slack on that somewhat fine point. Every statement Mr. Schrimshaw made about this rifle is false. If he is to be taken seriously by anyone he should know something about what he is talking about. He doesn't appear to know anything.
It was not modified to avoid the "assault weapon ban". It was never covered by the Clinton Gun Ban. It was not specifically mentioned and it does not have the "ugly features" required by the ban to qualify.
It cannot be fired any more rapidly than any other semi-automatic firearm. In fact, it has such a long, hard trigger pull that it can't be fired as rapidly as most.
It is not "highly accurate". It is the most inaccurate rifle I know.
It cannot shoot over tremendous distance. It shoots a light weight (123 to 125 grain) .30 caliber bullet at a velocity that is on the low end of normal for a rifle (about 2300 fps). The light weight bullet, for that caliber, combined with a low velocity means the range is far below normal. And because it is so inaccurate as the range increases the usefulness of the rifle goes to zero.
It does not "carry a higher, more powerful caliber of bullet". .30 caliber bullets are very ordinary. The cartridge used by the SKS, 7.62×39, is considered medium-powered at best.
But what do you expect? The truth? If they were to tell the truth then no one be interested in their agenda. Only by telling falsehoods (I hesitate to say lie because he may simply be grossly ignorant) can they gain any traction.

Respublica Institute warns of widespread violations of the right of peaceful assembly
The Respublica Institute which has, since 2004, been carrying out monitoring of observance of the right of peaceful assembly, enshrined in Article 39 of the Constitution and Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights, has issued a statement indicating concern over widespread violations during March and April 2010.
The violations, they say, were most large-scale in Kyiv.
On 14 March the Special Force Berkut unit detained five activists of a peaceful civic action on Lesya Ukrainka Boulevard. A criminal investigation was initiated against one of them, a former National Deputy, Oleksandr Hudyma. Yet the court found no violation of Article 185 of the Code of Administrative Offences [CAO] which involves resisting the police, and they were released. After their released, the activists were examined in medical establishments which confirmed numerous bodily injuries
On 25 March a raid was carried out by police officers in civilian clothing on demonstrators demanding the dismissal of the Minister of Education D. Tabachnyk and their material was illegally removed. One of the protesters, Anatoly Pikul, was detained, though they confined themselves to a "preventive chat".
As reported here, on 27 March the police carried out a search of the journalist Olena Bilozerska and press photographer Olexiy Furman and removed photo footage with photos of a protest against the policy of the Kyiv City State Administration and against the sale of furs.
On 8 April the police and people in plain clothes, at the instruction of National Deputy from the Party of the Regions, Vadim Kolisnychenko, detained 13 individuals protesting against a rather controversial exhibition entitled "Polish and Jewish Victims of UPA". Violence was used against a journalist from Novy Kanal who was carrying out his professional duties. The court found no infringements in the activities of those detained.
On 9 April the police unlawfully search activists of a protest against the seizure of the book shop Syaivo. One of them on whom they found a spray paint canister was detained and charged under Article 173 of the CAO (petty offences). The court did not find any violation and the activist was released. In the actions against the protesters, the Berkut unit was enlisted.
On 13 April police officers detained 4 participants in a protest against the unlawful construction work on Honchar St (which has also elicited protest from the Prosecutor's Office), these including journalist Ihor Lutsenko. One of those detained received bodily injuries. At first the police tried to accuse the detained activists under Article 173 of the CAO, however clearly understanding how feeble this was, confined themselves to getting explanations. The police action led to the breaking up of the protest.
On 25 March the Cabinet of Ministers addressed Instruction No. 14678/1/1-10 to the Kyiv City State Administration "on using comprehensive measures on organizing work with citizens and their organizations, including on preventing and stopping in future the holding of protests near the premises of the President's Administration and the Cabinet of Ministers".
The appearance of such a government document, as well as the cases outlined above, point to negative trends emerging in the behaviour of the new regime. These present a threat to the right of citizens to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.

Identification strategies and patterns of visual inspection in relation to non-perceptual variables, rapport and discrimination set, were studied in 3 "autistic" Ss, using experimental materials relevant to various forms of visual perception. A qualitative, single case approach was followed, using as controls, individually matched Ss representing various points on a developmental continuum. Marked differences were found between 2 "autistic" Ss as compared with the third "autistic" S and the majority of control Ss in all variables, although 2 young normal Ss exhibited features similar to the 2 "autistic" Ss. It therefore appeared that in some "autistic" Ss, there was disturbance at selective and identifying levels of perception associated with deficiencies in non-perceptual factors. The disturbance appeared developmental rather than deviant in nature.

Vocational education and training programmes can help migrants connect with the labour market and find jobs matching their skills and qualifications. For this purpose, the survey has found, EU Member States have stepped up education and training provision and broadened access to it. Many countries have introduced new features to their systems, such as automated self-assessments, fast-track procedures and local community training supported by mentors.
Early support is critical to successful integration of refugees and asylum seekers. Besides language training, assessment and validation of migrants' skills, guidance and work placements play a crucial role. To be effective, information and guidance should start as early as possible, ideally before migrants reach their destination, especially in view of their (re)settlement within the European Union. This requires EU Member States to exchange information on their labour markets' needs and to put in place a system for the early skills profiling of migrants to ensure suitable matching, with the aim of rationalising the distribution of humanitarian migrants across the EU.

Choosing an assisted living facility, like Stonehill Care Center, for a loved one can be overwhelming if you consider all the many factors involved. How do you know that the choice you and your loved ones make is the right one? Here are some common pitfalls to avoid when choosing the right assisted living facility for that special family member.
No one wants to deal with the fact that aging is taking its toll on your loved one. Yet, you need to be realistic about specific needs that are clear now and could become a need in the future. Just because your family member seems strong and healthy now, consider possible future concerns and make sure your choice facility can accommodate your loved one for the rest of his or her life.
It would be wise to speak to your loved one's physician and compare that information with the assisted living facility before making your final decisions. This will help you avoid having to move your family member to various facilities, which can cost a lot of money and compromise his or her mental and physical health.
This old saying rings true for many things, especially when it comes to choosing an assisted living facility. Just because a facility appears to have nice furniture, landscaping, and decor doesn't mean its the best place for your loved one. A higher price doesn't always equal the best care available. During initial visits to the facility, try to talk to current residents or their families about their experience.
Also you pay close attention to the staff to make sure they are cheerful, compassionate, and competent in their job. Some facilities even allow you to stay over night to get a feel for the atmosphere and available care. The key is to take your time to choose the right place, not seek a quick but mediocre resolution for your loved one's living arrangements.
When choosing the facility that is right for your loved one, keep one thing in mind: he or she will live there - not you. Sometimes, a family member is too ill or suffering from dementia and is unable to participate in the choosing of a facility. However, you know the personality, interests, and preferences of that person. For example, if your parent comes from a small comfortable home, choosing a lavish facility may not be the way to go. Just because it seems nice to you doesn't mean your family member will be happy.
In most cases, an adult child wants to choose a facility that is in close proximity to allow for frequent visits. But, that's not always the best choice.

Camp insider: Diles to replace injured Cushing
Sports // Texans

Texans linebacker Zac Diles will be thrust in to a bigger role with the absence of Brian Cushing.Brett Coomer/Houston Chronicle
As soon as reporters got to the morning practice, they saw linebacker Brian Cushing on the sideline wearing a knee brace. Speculation began about what the injury was, would surgery be required, and how long would he be out. Turns out that Cushing will be out from two to three weeks with a sprained lateral collateral ligament. Zac Diles will replace him in the lineup. -JOHN McCLAIN
BIG HIT BUSING NEARLY GETS A PICK: On a pass thrown by backup quarterback Dan Orlovsky that was intended for tight end Joel Dreessen, safety John Busing nearly came up big. On a 30-yard pass straight up the middle of the field, Busing fully extended his body, leaping backwards into the air to deflect the pass and prevent Dreessen from making the catch. Busing has already earned a reputation around camp as a player who can make big hits and that trait would be very well complemented by quality pass coverage. Busing is primarily a special teams player but has been competing for a backup spot at safety. -JORDAN GODWIN
BROWN DELIVERS: Tight end Clark Harris provided quality snaps to holder Matt Turk during field goal drills, and it helped kicker Kris Brown. After a rough day on Tuesday, Brown made all six kicks from 38 yards. Several watching practice on Tuesday said they were concerned about Brown, who appeared to be limping after practice, but he seemed back to his usual self on Wednesday. Still, he got his groin wrapped in ice again and chalked it up to old age. -JORDAN GODWIN
JACK OF ALL TRADES: After Clark Harris, rookie tight end James Casey was the backup snapper on the field goal team. His first several snaps were right on target, but his final two snaps were on the ground. Special teams coach Joe Marciano said last week that he's behind. Casey has been a popular player in camp because of his ability to play several different offensive positions, and along with his usual tight end spot, he could see action in the preseason as a snapper. -JORDAN GODWIN
MCCAIN RUNS TIGHT RACE: Sixth-round pick Brice McCain has been the main man who has had to try to cover Andre Johnson. McCain said last week that it has helped him mature, and he seems to get better at staying close to Johnson on routes every day. On one play, McCain stayed within two feet of Johnson for 30 yards, but with his size advantage, Johnson still pulled off a leaping catch. McCain has been competing with fellow rookie cornerback Glover Quin, who is his roommate off the field but his main competition off. If McCain can continue to prove his close coverage, he'll be one up on Quin. -JORDAN GODWIN
HARD HIT BY HARRISON: The hardest hit of the day was turned in by 220-pound safety Brandon Harrison. When running back Ryan Moats came through the middle, Harrison was waiting for him. Even though they're not supposed to tackle, Harrison took down Moats like it was regular season. -ANNA-MEGAN RALEY
HE CAN CATCH, TOO: Rookie cornerback Brice McCain also made a terrific interception. He went deep down the middle and kept his eye on the ball thrown by Matt Schaub. McCain, the fastest player on the team who is clocked in the 40-yard dash in the 4.2s, turned on the jets going deep down the middle. He timed his leap just right and made an outstanding interception. -JOHN McCLAIN
HE CAN RUN, TOO?: When most tight ends make a reception, they use their physical size to muscle as far down the field as they can, usually not getting very far. But being the athlete he is, rookie tight end James Casey ran down a pass from Matt Schaub and turned it into a foot race down the sideline with speedy rookie cornerback Glover Quin. Quin eventually caught up to Casey about 15 yards down the field, but the coaches were impressed by Casey's free field speed. -JORDAN GODWIN
ALL BUSINESS, NOT ALL THE TIME: Rookie cornerback Glover Quin is expecting to get significant playing time during the Texans first preseason game against Kansas City. He was all business after the team's Wednesday morning practice when he discussed going up against big-time NFL receivers like Andre Johnson. He said the hardest thing to do right now is controlling his emotions, which he has been doing well. He did look like a kid on Christmas when talking about playing in his first NFL preseason game. -ANNA-MEGAN RALEY
PLAY OF THE DAY: It doesn't seem realistic considering how good he already is, but receiver Andre Johnson just keeps getting better. Johnson hasn't dropped a pass in camp. He's catching the ball all over the field. On one play, he went deep and was covered by three players. He went up with the defensive backs. Safety Eugene Wilson had a beat on him, but Johnson pulled down the ball and scored easily. -JOHN McCLAIN

"A Teen's Diary about Mental and Emotional Health"
🏆 Most Entertaining🏆
A Digital Art Project
By Litza
a High School Student from Mouse & DIIT Design League @ Bronx International HS
My mental and emotional health diary is a half book / half diary that has been made in order to tell the stories of those teenagers who wanted to share their experience and be heard. This diary covers topics such as depression, sadness and loneliness. The goal of this diary is to help teenagers who are going through a difficult moment, and to let them know that they're not alone.
Inspiration: This diary tells my story, as well as the stories of those close to me who have found themselves inside a dark path, which leads to misfortune and sadness. This has been made for those who have also fallen into this world of darkness. This is my way to tell you that you're not alone.
In order to make this diary, I had to capture what the mind of a teenager going through difficulties would look like, which is why I had to think of different designs that could represent those thoughts and feelings.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Nnf9Q0rfh2uLciwbQTboDJIkPEcNRMXn/view?usp=sharing
Carrie Wieteska 👏 Account Manager at Clark — Emoti-Con Judge
I love the idea of a diary that isn't just a diary. Especially for people who suffer from depression or anxiety, writing can be a fantastic outlet but a book of blank pages might be intimidating - this is a great way to combine writing with hearing other people's stories. I think something that might be beneficial is adding in information about what helped the other teens - e.g. coping strategies - or other resources to help. Overall I think it's a really strong project that could help a lot of people.
Kate Rosenbloom 👏 Director, Curriculum and Learning at 2U Inc. — Emoti-Con Judge
This is a very impressive project! I love the design and I love the idea of creating a diary for teens struggling with their mental health that is preceded by stories of other teens who have been through the same thing. I also think you're super brave to put your own story into this project. As someone who struggled with my mental health as a teenager, I could relate to all of the stories in here. In your next version, I would love to see the diary include a list of places that people can turn to for help and also some advice on each page that the person is writing on. The advice could be things like "Even if you feel alone, try confiding in someone you trust about how you are feeling. It might help you feel better to talk about it."
Larry Lieberman 👏 CEO at Mouse — Emoti-Con Judge
WOW! This project is an inspiring combination of artistry, personal insight, community support, and emotional wellness tactics that mental health professionals recommend. The presentation is smart and inviting. Litza has done what very few can do right now -- created a safe space where all emotions are welcome, respected, and validated. Writing down our dark emotions helps us validate their existence and process them so we can continue our forward journey in life. The design and sometimes whimsical use of typically dark iconography (black cats, dark clouds, crows) provide a glorious sense of companionship and hope for those sharing their stories of loneliness, self-doubt, and pain. The participating authors share deeply personal and compassionate words including very hopeful diary entries about living and laughing. This is a project of the highest quality and artistic integrity. It is ready to be published right now. Let's get this student an agent. It's beautiful!
Eddie Palacio III 👏 Admissions Counselor at University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design — Emoti-Con Judge
WOW! I felt this project. I was very lonesome as a teenager and I really could've used something like this growing up! This project speaks to a community and age group that is crucial to the future of our society. This also addresses the important discussion around mental health and healthy emotional expression. The design speaks to the tone of the subject, but I wonder what consideration there could be when it comes to the color scheme or theme? Would love to see how this resonates with a lighter color scheme! Overall, This is noteworthy design with a really nifty animated ad to boot! Kudos. #YouAreNotAlone<3
What I enjoyed most about this project was the design repetition. The monochromatic design - which echoes Rorschach inkblots - ties together all of the different design elements even as we progress through each of the four characters' complex stories. The result creates cohesiveness throughout the book. It also sets up an expectation when it comes time for the reader to become a writer. The relationship between design repetition and the repetition effect in human psychology seems intentional. When it is broken by blank pages, there is a need to want to fill it. I wonder if there's a way to sequence the book so that there is more reader/writer involvement throughout instead of the very end? Really impressed with this project. Great work!
E. 👏 a High School Student from BxIHS
Thank you for doing this it's inspirational and amazing!
Victor Pinnock 👏 a Teacher from Bronx International High School
Your work is amazing! 👏🏽
This project is so inspirational and filled with great art and relatable stories. I was happy to see your process and the iterations you did of your work. The animated video is amazing as well! great work!!
Ms. Julie 👏 a Community Member from BXIHS
This is really great Litza! I think young people would enjoy using an app like this.
Damaris 👏 a Teacher from NJ
This is a great tool for any age group but especially for a teenager!!!!
👏 a Middle School Student
I am very happy to see this approach to the topic but I agree. This project is amazing because it can allow people to feel connected to something and the fact that they can read stories about other people will help them less alone.
I would just like to add i feel very inspired by you project and i love it.
👏 a Parent
Laura Ogando 👏 a Technology Professional from NYC DOE, DIIT
I really love what this project is aimed at doing! Mental health, particularly for young people, is such an important topic and yet it's hard to come by resources specifically designed by and for this age group. I see the potential for this to be a great way for students to have an outlet and share their feelings. I'm wondering if the app could also include additional resources where teens can get help, access to free services, and opportunities to learn/connect. Overall, great project!

User interface update for SimScale for better simulation experience in the cloud
SimScale, the provider of the world's first production-ready SaaS application for engineering simulation (CAE), announced today the release of their new workbench.
The new and improved SimScale Workbench 2.0 was built entirely from scratch on the latest, state-of-the-art technology stack, with the goal of drastically improving user productivity by decreasing loading time and increasing interaction speed.
Screenshot of the SimScale Workbench 2.0
With this update, the SimScale web-based CAE platform is now as fast and interactive as a desktop application, while taking advantage of the unlimited computing power of the cloud. Furthermore, the new solution stack sets the stage for major new updates and features that are already in development and will be released in the coming months.
In addition, the latest release from SimScale introduces some fundamental changes to the overall user experience, making the SimScale Workbench 2.0 the most advanced, yet user-friendly simulation interface version ever created by the cloud simulation company.
Compared to the old workbench, with the new version the viewer takes up significantly more screen real estate, becoming the heart of the interface. To improve the overall user experience, the settings panels now 'float' on top of the viewer, reserving as much space as possible for visualization. Together with a new model color scheme—which preserves the original CAD coloring if possible—and a translucent render mode, interaction with the model has been made significantly more efficient.

SimScale's vision includes making engineering simulation as intuitive as possible. With the previous workbench, the meshing, simulation and post-processing steps were separated into three different tabs. The new version, on the other hand, consolidates the entire workflow into a single tree, helping users set up their projects faster and easier by following a straightforward, step-by-step approach, from top to bottom.
A third major change is the possibility for users to carry out a simulation directly on a CAD model. In practice, this means the user can now set up a complete simulation directly on their geometry with less exposure to mesh generation—something that will particularly help novice users to successfully simulate faster. The added benefit of this approach is that, in the case there is a need to change or refine the mesh, all settings and assignments will be kept.

Taiwanese have launched a sarcastic "Say sorry to China" contest on social media after a Chinese filmmaker replaced a local actor for allegedly supporting Taiwanese independence.
The contest on Facebook has attracted more than 24,000 followers and 6,000 posts since Saturday, organizers said.
Netizens have been apologizing to Beijing for a wide variety of reasons — from calling Taiwan a country to eating Japanese food and using iPhones.
"I suggest everybody say sorry to almighty China before dinner every night. We should all thank the Chinese for giving us food and letting us know China's greatness," read one scathing post.
The contest came after award-winning Taiwanese director and actor Leon Dai (戴立忍), a known supporter of the 2014 Sunflower movement, was dropped by Chinese director Zhao Wei (趙薇) from her movie No Other Love (沒有別的愛) for allegedly supporting Taiwan's independence.
Zhao said in a statement on a Chinese microblogging site that Dai was replaced for failing to clarify his political stance.
"We are all Chinese and we firmly uphold our mother country's unification objective... We cannot tolerate any falsity and ambiguity, especially regarding national interests," Zhao said.
Dai later issued a statement saying he is "deeply sorry" to the film's investors and crew for his past behavior causing controversy, adding that he does not advocate Taiwanese independence.
Wang Yi-kai (王奕凱), an active participant in the Sunflower movement protests, said he launched the Facebook contest "to mock China's suppression and bullying" of entertainers.
"I am a Chinese netizen. I am sorry that there are so many brain-damaged [people] in China, but most people are not like that and we support Chou Tzu-yu (周子瑜)," read one post.
Chou, a 16-year-old Taiwanese K-pop singer, was in January forced to apologize for waving a Republic of China (ROC) national flag during an Internet broadcast, which stoked online anger in China and accusations that she was a pro-independence advocate.
Her video apology went viral on Jan. 16, when Taiwan held its presidential and legislative elections. Some analysts believe it might have cost the Beijing-friendly Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) hundreds of thousands of votes.
Pop diva Madonna sparked anger in China after draping herself in an ROC flag during a concert in Taipei in February.

2018 marks the first year of an exciting collaboration between Fujifilm and Unseen, where an artist or collective is invited to research into the nature of Fujifilm Original Photo Paper. A summer of travel, intensive research and creative production has led the commissioned artist duo Niccolò Benetton (1986) and Simone Santilli (1987), who together form The Cool Couple, to Calabria, Tilburg and back again, as they unravel a narrative exploring the intricate paper creation process of Fujifilm and its rich history. We caught up with the pair ahead of their presentation at Unseen Amsterdam 2018 to hear about their process.
The Fujifilm commission asked you to research how photographic paper is made, and what processes are involved from photo taking to final print. Can you tell us how you went about your research for this?
Questions play a key role in our artistic research. They are not just starting points. They follow you all the way through the development of a project. On the one hand, we considered the nature of photo-paper in relation to its users (it has a fundamental tactile and interactive aspect, when it is considered as a stable and shareable image support); on the other, the role of paper in a world increasingly populated by screens was an open invitation to think about the different temporalities that characterise our lives.
Another element we paid particular attention to was the story and philosophy of Fujifilm. The questions we asked referred to the people behind the products, the people not only designing, testing, producing and distributing the paper, but also those involved in the process of developing and printing the pictures of people from all over Europe. The feeling we got from the visits at the production sites was that of a big and solid family, where human connections were literally overwhelming technology, in a kind of healthy inversion of the processes happening elsewhere, where we are becoming more connected and at the same time losing human contact. Fujifilm, however, is not naive about these transformations, that is why investing in photographic paper today is possible only if you have a lucid vision of the future.
This connection of past, present and future was particularly interesting for us and, combined with the interaction in the nature of the paper itself, helped in coming up with an idea. As we usually do, we tried to find a simple concept that could generate a whole exhibition. In this case, the concept is embodied in an object: a time capsule.
In what ways does the process of a commissioned project like this one differ from your self-initiated projects?
In our case, a commissioned project does not differ too much from our own work. We carry out research on the long-term, by which we mean, if we do not have a deadline, we can continue researching or brainstorming for long periods. When we initiate something on our own, we tend to write abstracts, organise moodboards and all the preparatory materials to present a project proposal to someone.
In the case of the Fujifilm commission, we did not feel any particular difference: we always tend to consider all the parties involved in a project, be they a company, a fair, a gallery, curators, other artists and so on. We are a collective and when the team grows in size it creates new opportunities to share and learn.
You've participated in Unseen Amsterdam's programme on more than one occasion. How important is it for you to collaborate with art and photography organisations?
It is the other side of the artistic production, we guess. You can choose to do art for yourself, without showing anything. But if you want to be an artist, working in the art system, you can't avoid entering a network of relations that goes far beyond your friends. Focusing on our relation with Unseen: it has been the first art fair we have ever attended as participating artists, and it was love at first sight.
What should guests expect to see at your exhibition at Unseen Amsterdam 2018?
We do not really know what to expect, because the project asks people to contribute actively and discuss the dynamics behind image-production, through very personal experiences. In every process of reciprocal exchange there is a lot to discover and this is probably the most exciting aspect.
Thank you Niccolò and Simone!

Do you take Glenn Beck's "new national movement" seriously?
In one sense, it's hard to take Glenn Beck and his hopes for the GOP very seriously in Washington, given that he has demonstrated nothing but the celebrity that Ross Douthat discusses—and virtually none of the responsibility required to engage in governance. Yet it's that same lack of responsibility that leads me to take him very seriously, and leads me and many others to be plenty concerned about the direction he's heading in.
As my organization and groups like Media Matters have said again and again, Beck engages in some deeply offensive and dangerous rhetoric, at (thus far) little cost to him. And watching Beck's rhetoric is important, because that's all he does—he talks for a living, period. Yet just in the past few months, he's repugnantly compared the Obama administration's dealings with Fox News to the way the Nazis treated Jews during the Holocaust; he's repeatedly compared Obama to Hitler and encouraged his listeners to "please read Mein Kampf" to learn from Germany's mistakes; he's suggested that health care reform plans would lead to Nazi-style eugenics; etc., etc. Whether it was the President's work on TARP, or the automobile industry bailout, or health insurance reform, Beck has shown he has a patently vile and ridiculous historical comparison to Hitler to go with it. And he's been condemned by the ADL and other religious organizations as a result.
The GOP establishment is clearly letting celebrities and stars set the party's agenda. When it comes to Glenn Beck, they couldn't do much worse. These fissures between thoughtful, responsible and perhaps more moderate forces in the Republican Party and these far-right media darlings like Beck may yield good electoral outcomes for Democrats, but the damage Beck and others do to the country—and to our political discourse—are what we should all take seriously, regardless of party.


I had noticed that my skin was getting a little dry from acne medicines I was using. This scrub effectively sloughs off those dead skin cells, along with other dirt and makeup that can clog pores. Also, when I rinse it off, there's a bit of a cool tingly feeling. Not overwhelming, just very light and refreshing. Will definitely repurchase this product.
This scrub for me is very effective. Living in hot, humid conditions in Charleston, SC calls for getting the dirt, the grime and just general crap off the skin on my face. I love that this product has little "scrubbies" in them, so it also effectively sloughs off my dead skin cells in the process, leaving my skin super clean but not stripped. It also has 2% Salicylic Acid, so to me that is an effective acne fighting ingredient on my skin along with my ProActive Cleanser and Repairing Lotion that I use at night on my face. (I use this product in the morning in the shower). Also, it comes in a handy flip top cap, so no messing around with unscrewing a cap with wet hands in the shower. All in all a winner for me, I will be repurchasing. I found mine at Walgreens.

Q: Homogenization of Dirichlet problem. I am studying asymptotic analysis of periodic medium. Epsi is the periodic parameter. aij are considered regular. Here I have $$a_{ij} ^\epsilon (x) = a_{ij} (\frac{x} {\epsilon}) $$
And it says that this function would has derivative of order $\frac{1} {\epsilon} $.
I think its like $x^3 $ has derivative of order three.
But if I consider $\frac{x} {4} $ it's seems wrong.
Also when we talk about x belongs bounded subset of $R^n *] 0,T[$
 This model turns into
$$ a_{ij} ^\epsilon (x, t) = a_ij ( x, \frac{x} {\epsilon} , t, \frac{t} {\epsilon^k)$$
And then says it not have bounded derivative with respect to t. (https://i.stack.imgur.com/uKVLW.jpg)
I want a clear idea so I can move further with clear concepts.

In 1979, Lauer attended an independent wrestling show at a circus in Pennsylvania. In exchange for helping to tear down the ring after the show, he was given free admission. He later joined the company and toured Ohio. During this time, The Royal Kangaroos' Jonathan Boyd became his mentor. Back in Pennsylvania, Geeto Mongol trained Lauer and gave him the ring name Dr. Lennerd Spazzinsky.

He then moved to Memphis, where he performed under the name Downtown Bruno. In 1986, he became the most prominent villainous manager in Memphis. In addition, wrestlers like Jerry Lawler and Sid Eudy helped his career. He continued to work in the Southern promotions for the rest of the late 1980s. In September 1989, he won the Continental Wrestling Federation's Southeastern United States Junior Heavyweight Championship and held it until the promotion closed in November. It was in Continental in 1987 that he first teamed with Eudy, while Eudy was under a mask as an incarnation of Lord Humongous.

World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (1991-present)

Manager (1991-1995)

In 1991, Sid Eudy helped bring Lauer to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). He debuted as Harvey Wippleman, a Pee-Wee Herman-like character wearing a pin-striped suit with slacks cut at his shins, a red bow-tie, and a flat cap.  He first managed Big Bully Busick.  When Busick left the company and Slick turned face, Wippleman took over managing The Warlord.  However, Wippleman's greatest acquisition was his real-life friend, Sid Justice. When Sid turned heel, working on a program with Hulk Hogan leading to Wrestlemania, Wippleman became Sid Justice's manager and became "Dr. Harvey Wippleman".  Wippleman would begin carrying a doctor's bag to the ring containing medical equipment.  After Sid's matches against jobbers, Wippleman would retrieve a stethoscope from his bag and listen to the defeated wrestler's hearts.

After Sid left the company, Wippleman managed Kamala, who was feuding with The Undertaker. After Kamala was defeated by Undertaker in a Coffin match at Survivor Series in 1992, Kamala left Wippleman and Reverend Slick became his new manager. Afterwards, Wippleman dropped the Dr. gimmick. He continued to feud with the Undertaker and brought a new wrestler to the WWF, the nearly eight-foot-tall Giant González. The feud culminated in a Rest in Peace match at SummerSlam, which Undertaker won.  During this period, Wippleman also briefly managed Mr. Hughes, who left the WWF after a few months. Wippleman was also the manager of Adam Bomb from October 1993 until June 1994, when Bomb turned face, and feuded with Kwang, who was also being managed by Wippleman. Wippleman also managed Well Dunn, who faced the Rock 'n' Roll Express in the RnR's WWF debut on October 10, 1993.

Since debuting in the WWF, Wippleman was always at odds with ring announcer Howard Finkel, whom Wippleman believed introduced him in a condescending manner. At WrestleMania X, Wippleman tore up Finkel's tuxedo, and Finkel shoved him to the mat. The feud culminated in a tuxedo match on the January 9, 1995 edition of Monday Night RAW, which Finkel won.

Wippleman's next high-profile storyline was later in 1995, when he managed his on-screen girlfriend Bertha Faye. Faye, with Wippleman in her corner, won the WWF Women's Championship by defeating Alundra Blayze at SummerSlam 1995. After losing the WWF Women's Championship in late 1995, Faye was dropped from the WWF roster and Wippleman disappeared from television. According to Lauer, he and Bertha didn't get along.

Referee and road agent (1996-present)
By spring 1996, Wippleman began making appearances on WWF Superstars, critiquing the referees during the matches in preparation to make a full report to WWF President Gorilla Monsoon about the apparent lack of consistency amongst the officials. Monsoon rewarded Wippleman for his efforts by making him an official referee. One of Wippleman's last appearances as a regular WWF referee during this time came on the March 10, 1997 episode of Raw when Chyna gorilla pressed him into a group of referees.
On the May 19, 1997 episode  of Raw Wippleman appeared in a backstage segment with Stone Cold Steve Austin telling Wippleman that he was going to be his tag team partner with Wippleman responding that he was scared. Wippleman also appeared as "Handsome Harvey," introducing D-Generation-X on Raw on November 24, 1997. This was to make fun of Rick Rude. Rude had been a member of DX and had just left the company a week earlier to go to WCW. This resulted in Rude being on both Raw and WCW Monday Nitro on the same night. (At the time, Raw was taped every other week while Nitro was live every week).

In June 1999, after another period of absence from television broadcasts, Wippleman resurfaced on the June 13 episode of Sunday Night Heat as a referee in a match between then-Intercontinental Champion Jeff Jarrett and Test.  Test won the match after outside interference, thus being named the new champion, but he was persuaded by Jarrett's valet Debra to overturn the result and return the belt.  He also served as a scab official during the WWF referee strike in September 1999, including at the Unforgiven PPV, again refereeing a match with Jarrett defending the Intercontinental title against Chyna.

On January 31, 2000, Wippleman won the WWF Women's Championship from The Kat while he was in a disguise and used the name "Hervina" in a "Lumberjill Snow Bunny" match, which took place in a snow-filled pool surrounded by female wrestlers who kept the competitors from leaving the pool. The win made him the first male to hold the Women's Championship. He lost the title the following day (but broadcast on February 3) to Jacqueline in a match that lasted under a minute, thus ending the shortest reign in the title's history.  Through the remainder of 2000, Wippleman appeared in backstage and non-match segments of the WWF's television programming, including a segment on the April 23, 2000 episode of Sunday Night Heat where he appeared dressed up as a rabbit as part of a segment with Al Snow and Steve Blackman.

At WrestleMania X-Seven on April 1, 2001, Wippleman managed Kamala during the gimmick battle royal.

At the point the Invasion storyline began in 2001, he had disappeared from WWF programming, and was then working as a road agent for the company.

On November 15, 2010, for WWE's old school episode of Raw, Wippleman returned to WWE, managing the Brooklyn Brawler in a squash loss to Ezekiel Jackson.

As of 2011, Lauer was working with the WWE in backstage roles at television and pay-per-view events.  In an interview with Jim Korderas, Lauer described his role as "concierge", taking care of details such as food, rental cars and the like.

On January 22, 2018, Harvey made a brief backstage appearance during Raw 25 Years.

In 2020, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson named Lauer as the "GOAT" (greatest of all time) for assisting Johnson early in his career and providing him a place to stay.

Personal life
Lauer grew up in Walls, Mississippi, near Memphis. According to Lauer, he spent his teenage years "sprawling on car hoods, smoking cigarettes, and drinking beer with no particular ambition in mind". His drinking eventually caused Lauer to serve jail time in Memphis.

In 1994, Lauer was in a car accident with Joey Marella, which claimed Marella's life and injured Lauer. The crash occurred as a result of Marella falling asleep at the wheel while driving on the way to Newark. Marella was not wearing his seat belt, but Lauer–the passenger–was wearing his. Because of the severity of his injuries, however, Lauer incurred approximately $10,000 in medical expenses. He wrote an autobiography Wrestling with the Truth, which was released in 2008. Lauer is Roman Catholic. Lauer was elected as a member of the board of aldermen for a four-year term on June 8, 2021, in his hometown of Walls, Mississippi.

FBO RIGA becomes IS-BAH registered company
The International Standard for Business Aircraft Handling (IS-BAH) was developed by IBAC and implemented in 2014 adding to the successful IS-BAO safety standard for business aviation. Currently 89 organizations are listed as IS-BAH registered.
FBO RIGA has become the first FBO in the Baltic States who demonstrated its conformity to the standard and who received the IS-BAH certificate.
"We are proud to announce that we have accomplished the IS-BAH registration. It has been a long way and we can say it was started already at the stage of the FBO projecting. Safety is one of the most important priorities in aviation. The audit took several days, but a several month preparation period had taken place before that. But the audit can be successful only in case the performance is realized with consideration of all safety aspects", comments Roman Starkov, co-owner of the Flight Consulting Group Holding, which comprises FBO RIGA.
Terry Yeomans, IS-BAH program director at IBAC welcomes this achievement: "We are very glad that FBO RIGA achieves IS-BAH registration joining those, who have already successfully implemented the standard. Now FBO RIGA is the only IS-BAH registered FBO in the Baltic States and we look forward to the development of the program in the region. FBO RIGA Quality manager Kristaps Freimanis and his team can be proud of their achievement!"

high weather | high road to..
… or at least racing towards the freezing point : night and day temperatures in Leh from leh.nic.in , March.
Night temperatures was around -15 in January , soaring close to the freezing point by mid-day in Leh : Ladakhs short hockey season in full swing on ponds , tokpos (small streams ) .. any piece of frozen water.
Hockey started to take off in Leh in the 90´s , before that winter sports were largely unknown : when I moved from the old town to a Changspa gusthouse in the mid-eighties they stopped the bus to watch , pointing excitedly at the goser on skis.
The 4th National Ice Hockey Championship ended on January 29th in Leh , amid controversy worthy of any big nation : Kargil and Indo Tibetan Border Police teams stepped out of the games , claiming rigged decisions by the judges. The growth womens hockey has also demanded a lot of courage both within and outside the rink : take any and all chance to see the infectiously enthusistic film Thin Ice on the subject.
SECMOL ( who provided the top image ) organise girls and boys hockey training , all winter visitors with experience of the game are welcome , BYOS (bring your own sticks and skates , even better leave them there) .
As I write this the Leh weather widget has started to show mild weather coming , -9 at night and dancing at thaw point in day time.
Here (since some has asked where I´m coming from ) we´ve finally had some decent winter weather. The annual winter fair in Jokkmokk (404th year ) started a couple of days ago , with day temperatures around -20. Down here -15 , and half a meter of snow. Nature stuck out it´s tongue at our local politicos who last year massacred the trees on Central Street , by building up a long series of mini kang ri´s , snow mountains , that were anchored by the cubistic benches and bike stands placed along the road. Nature will find a way . I´ll update with a few photos later.
"Thousands " (press figures ranging between 1000-3500) of tourists were trapped between Sherethang and Changu (Tsomgo ) Lake at 3745 meters as temperatures on Friday as temperatures plummeted to minus fifteen degrees and the road was buried in snow storm conditions.
"Army personnel have begun rescue operations for the tourists, mostly south Indians, and provided them shelter, food and medicine in Army transit camps and officers' quarters since yesterday," an Army spokesman was quoted to say.
Saturday saw many of the tourists , dressed mostly in in light jackets and scarves , returning to a frosty Gangtok : minus 7 degrees , coldest day of the year. Others still in treatment .

On the same day, the FDA sent McCain a warning letter that the HHA Web site was making illegal health claims for at least 12 products: "Citricidal™", "5-HTP Capsules", "MYOMIN", "STOPSMO", "SHARK CARTILAGE", "ASPARAGUS EXTRACT", "COQ10", "MSM SULPHUR", "INTESTINAL FREEDOM", "HHA GLUCOSAMINE/CHONDROITIN", "ST. JOHN'S WORT", and "HHA NATURAL RELIEF".
The defendants were improperly offering "accredited" degrees in naturopathic medicine through accelerated and/or correspondence courses.
Defendants falsely advertised that upon completion of consumers taking the "accredited two-week accelerated course of study", they will be able to practice naturopathic medicine. However, Arkansas does not license the practice of naturopathic medicine.
The practice of naturopathic medicine in other states requires at least a four-year, graduate-level course of study from nationally-recognized and/or regionally-accredited naturopathic medical institutions. Only students who graduate from such medical institutions are eligible to take the national licensing exam for practicing naturopathic physicians (NPLEX).
The defendants were holding themselves out to the public as being certified to diagnose, treat, and/or prevent various human diseases by the use of certain remedies and invasive medical procedures. These activities present an immediate and clear danger to Arkansas residents who may be deceived as to the defendants' qualifications to provide medical treatment.
Pryor's press release noted, "This is a matter of public safety. . . . The claims made by this group are alarming."
The Herbal Healer Academy is now registered registered as a division of the Universal Light Church. We have done this in order to protect your rights to receive valuable naturopathic information. There are a number of legislative disasters in place by the negative powers that be that will try to limit our scope of freedom and practice. If you are a student or a naturopathic doctor, by becoming an ordained minister and setting up a division of the Universal Light Church, your legal rights to preach and educate about the benefits of natural medicine will be protected! . . .
By covering yourself as a minister, a Doctor of Divinity and a Church, you separate yourself from the state laws and may preach the value of God's healing herbs from the roof tops!
It seems unlikely, however, that this "religious defense" can protect unlicensed practitioners from being prosecuted if they attempt to diagnose or treat people.
Represent that they can confer or assist people in obtaining degrees as "naturopathic doctors" or "naturopathic physicians."
Disseminate or represent that they can disseminate certificates stating that the holder is an "N.D., N.M.D," or similar designation that would indicate that the holder is a doctor or physician.
Engage in the unlicensed practice of naturopathy.
Make false representations about the quality or use of any HHA product .
The settlement agreement also permits McCain to describe her credentials without pointing out that they have no mainstream academic recognition or accreditation..
It appears to me that McCain is violating the injunction. The HHA site has more than 150 testimonials, most of which make disease-related claims about HHA's products . The description of the products themselves  contain many claims that are false or unsubstantiated. For example, she describes "HHA Formula 1 with EDTA" as a "heavy metal and arterial plaque chelator . . . for long term maintenance and arterial health," even though EDTA has no effect on arterial health.
Essiac is the name of nurse Rene CAISSE spelled backwards. A Canadian nurse named Rene Caisse first discovered this amazing herbal formula when one of the patients in the hospital where she worked was cured of cancer. The year was 1922! The patient had received the herbal preparation from an Ojibway herbalist. She began to experiment with the 4-HERB formula and found it to be very effective in helping many ailments including cancer. So startling were her results that the Ontario government of Canada became involved. By 1938, Essiac came within three votes of being legalized by the Ontario government as a treatment for terminal cancer patients. Unfortunately her work was destroyed and it took years to surface again.
The Herbal Healer Academy began researching the tea and found that many of nurse Caisse's claims were true. We do not and can not make any health claims regarding this formula, but we can supply you with the best herbs, instructions and our member testimonials. This tea is a nutritional supplement and is not recommended as the sole treatment for any ailment, especially life threatening ones. Please consult a health care practitioner for personalized care. This tea has been found helpful when used in conjunction with conventional medicine protocols .
I believe that this statement violates federal law as well as the Arkansas injunction against false representations. Although this statement contains disclaimers, it is clearly intended to indicate that Essiac is useful against cancer. There is no scientific evidence that Essiac is effective against cancer , and it cannot be legally marketed for that purpose in the United States.
Shortly afterward, the "Specific Ailments" page was replaced with a notice that "Herbal Healer is no longer allowed to provide you with our Specific Ailments page that contained valuable information regarding the use of supplements to help specific ailments. This page did contain our recommendation natural supplements for cancer, hepatitis, arthritis, candida, lupus, depression, infections, diabetes, thyroid problems, heart and arterial plaque problems, and so on... " This statemet is followed by an excerpt from the January 14 FDA warning letter that the claims were illegal. However, as of January 23, the other pages remain intact and the site still contains illegal claims made through testimonials.
