Smoking and IBD
If you have Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease and are a smoker, you may wonder whether this has an effect on your disease.
The relationship between smoking and Crohn's and Colitis is complex. Many studies have shown that people who smoke are more likely to develop Crohn's Disease, and research suggests that smoking increases the severity of the disease. In contrast, smoking appears to decrease the severity of Ulcerative Colitis, although it still carries many other health risks.
This information looks at the evidence for the different effects of smoking on these two conditions, and what it may mean for people with Crohn's or Colitis. It also looks at ways to help you give up smoking.
The relationship between smoking and Crohn's Disease and Ulceratice Colitis (the two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease - IBD) is complex. Many studies have shown that people who smoke are more likely to develop Crohn's Disease, and research suggests that smoking increases the severity of the disease. In contrast, people who smoke are less likely to develop Ulcerative Colitis, although it's important to remember that smoking still carries many other health risks.
This information looks at the evidence for the different effects of tobacco smoking on these two conditions and what it may mean for people with Crohn's or Colitis. It also looks at ways to help you stop smoking.

Smoking and Crohn's Disease
How does smoking affect Crohn's?
Smoking increases the risk of developing Crohn's Disease. Research also suggests that smoking can make Crohn's worse.
People with Crohn's who smoke may find that they:
• have more severe symptoms and complications such as strictures, or narrowings in the bowel that can cause dangerous blockages
• are more likely to develop fistulas, abnormal passageways in the body that often require surgery
• have more flare-ups
• require more immunosuppressant drugs, such as steroids, and biologic drugs – and sometimes these drugs are not as effective in people who smoke
• are more likely to need surgery and to have to return for further surgery
• are more likely to develop extraintestinal manifestations – additional complications in other parts of the body – such as osteoporosis (weak bones), arthritis, skin disorders and eye disorders
Research suggests that women who smoke are more likely to develop Crohn's Disease, and to require surgery, than men who smoke.
How does smoking make you susceptible to Crohn's?
We do not know, although there are lots of theories. Tobacco smoke contains more than 1,000 chemicals including nicotine, carbon monoxide and free radicals. There are a number of ways in which these chemicals may affect the gut. Smoking can change the bacteria that live in the gut, influence how a person's genes function and cause changes to the immune system – all of which may make a person more likely to develop Crohn's.
What about the risk of passive smoking?
Studies into the effect of passive smoking on Crohn's Disease are inconclusive. Some studies suggest babies and children exposed to cigarette smoke may be more likely to develop Crohn's. Another study suggests that adults with Crohn's who are exposed to passive cigarette smoke may need more drug treatments, but more research is needed to determine whether these relationships are true.
The lack of understanding between passive smoking and Crohn's may in part be due to difficulties in measuring how much smoke someone is exposed to through passive smoking.
Smoking during pregnancy is not advised for anyone, whether or not they have Crohn's, due to the risks to the unborn baby.
If I am a smoker now, is it worth giving up?
Researchers and health professionals agree that giving up smoking is beneficial for people with Crohn's Disease. UK and European guidelines strongly recommend that people with Crohn's do not smoke.
In the non-smoker, Crohn's appears milder. Once you have stopped smoking for one year, the chances of a flare-up may be as low as for someone with Crohn's who has never smoked. People who continue to smoke are more than twice as likely to have a flare-up compared to people who have stopped smoking.
Smokers are also more than twice as likely to need surgery, to experience a recurrence of disease after surgery and to need a second surgery. However, stopping smoking can reduce these risks to the rates of people who have never smoked.
Even reducing the amount you smoke may have a positive effect on your symptoms. Studies have shown that heavy smokers develop more extraintestinal manifestations (additional complications in other parts of the body), have more strictures, and are more likely to need to have part of their intestine removed than people who do not smoke as much. This suggests that, although completely stopping smoking has the best outcome, reducing the amount you smoke can also help. However, even light smokers with Crohn's have more active disease on average, a greater hospitalisation rate and a higher likelihood of needing surgery.
Considering all available evidence, it is widely advised that people with Crohn's disease stop smoking. See Can I get help to give up smoking? for further information.
I have Crohn's Disease and I smoke. I have tried to give it up but I find it really hard as it is part of my daily routine. My consultant always advises me of the detrimental effect it can have on my condition, which does make me think a bit more about giving up.
Ann , age 52
Diagnosed with Crohn's in 1995
Smoking and Ulcerative Colitis
How does smoking affect Ulcerative Colitis?
Research shows that Ulcerative Colitis is less common in smokers than non-smokers. Some people have developed Colitis once they have given up smoking.
While most studies show that smoking may delay or prevent a person from developing Colitis, it is still unclear whether smoking affects the progression or course the disease takes. Some studies show that smokers with Colitis suffer a milder form of the condition. Flare-ups, hospitalisation rates, the need for oral steroids or immunosuppressants, and colectomy rates have all been reported to be lower in people with Colitis who smoke.
However, not all studies agree with this. One study found that people with Colitis who smoked had an increased risk of developing joint and skin problems. A study that analysed data from 16 previous studies found no difference in risk of colectomy, flare-ups or pouchitis in those with Colitis who smoked, compared to those who didn't.
It is important to consider the harmful effects of smoking. Smoking is a known cause of at least 13 types of cancer, including bowel, lung, stomach and ovarian. Smoking is also a known cause of cardiovascular disease – with smokers almost twice as likely to have a heart attack compared to those who have never smoked. In general, health professionals consider that the risks of smoking greatly outweigh any benefits seen in Colitis, and strongly discourage smoking in everyone, whether or not they have Crohn's or Colitis.
Why may smoking have a protective effect against Ulcerative Colitis?
We don't really understand why smoking has a protective effect against Colitis. There are many chemicals in cigarettes that could be contributing to this effect. Nicotine is the most widely studied and is likely to be having an impact.
People with Colitis may have a thinner mucus layer in the colon and rectum when compared to healthy people. Nicotine may increase the production of this mucus. Nicotine may also suppress the immune system and prevent inflammation in the colon. Another theory is that nitric oxide, released by nicotine, may reduce muscle activity in the colon and so reduce the need to go the toilet urgently.
We know that the genes a person has inherited can contribute to developing Colitis. Smoking can change how a person's genes are expressed – providing another potential mechanism for how smoking may influence the development of Crohn's or Colitis.
So do I need to give up smoking?
It may be tempting to continue or even take up smoking to help your Colitis. However, research findings on smoking and Crohn's or Colitis are mixed. We know that smoking increases your risk of chronic bronchitis, lung cancer, other cancers and heart diseases, and is not recommended by health professionals, even for people with Colitis. There are many treatments that are much safer than smoking that can be explored. For more information on drug therapies, please see our drug treatment information sheets and our information sheet Other Treatments for IBD.
Can nicotine replacement therapy help Colitis?
Some people have found that using nicotine replacement therapies, such as nicotine patches or chewing gum, is helpful in managing their Colitis. Results from research studies are inconclusive. This may be because other elements of cigarette smoke could be contributing.
The use of nicotine patches in people with mild or moderately active Colitis has been shown to be more effective than a placebo (a blank patch with no nicotine) in inducing remission. However, nicotine isn't more effective than conventional Crohn's or Colitis drug treatments, such as aminosalicylates (5-ASAs) and steroids, in inducing remission. It is not yet known whether nicotine is more effective as a therapy in those who are ex-smokers compared to those who have never smoked. Although nicotine replacement therapies are much safer than smoking, not everybody can tolerate nicotine. Nicotine is highly addictive – and can have other effects, such as increasing heart rate and blood pressure. In several studies, people who tried nicotine therapy for Crohn's or Colitis suffered side effects such as dermatitis, nausea, headaches or sleep disturbance.
As yet, there has been no research into the effect of electronic cigarette usage on Ulcerative Colitis. Public Health England has reported that e-cigarettes are 95% less harmful than smoking cigarettes. However, e-cigarettes are only recommended for those who wish to give up smoking, or reduce the amount they smoke, rather than by people who want to start smoking.
If you wish to try a nicotine replacement therapy, discuss it with your specialist doctor or IBD team.
With the money I saved, I treated myself to a new laptop. I felt that it was important to treat myself in recognition of giving up what had been a major habit in my life.
Carol , age 52
Can I get help to give up smoking?
The NHS has a programme to help people stop smoking. For more information see smokefree.nhs.uk. Your doctor or any other healthcare professional should also be able to help you. Some pharmacists, private health insurers, employers and local governments offer programmes to help you stop smoking.
If you have Colitis and are interested in giving up smoking, you are advised to discuss this with your IBD team. Some people with Colitis may find that their symptoms worsen when they stop smoking, so it could be helpful to have a plan in place in case this happens.
The NHS can help with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), which includes patches, gum, lozenges and inhalers. NRT gets nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking and its harmful side effects. Medicines such as bupropion or varenicline can be used to manage withdrawal symptoms.
You may like to consider including counselling as part of your programme to stop smoking. Research has found that a combination of medication and counselling can be more effective than a single approach.
I was a smoker for 30 years, but when I was diagnosed with Crohn's, my consultant advised me to give up. I tried, and managed to give up after a bowel resection operation.

The Decision Review Officer Process
Once the NOD is filed, a claimant may request that his rating decision be reviewed by a senior VA employee known as a Decision Review Officer, or DRO. The review of a DRO is de novo. It is important to remember that the DRO process is optional and is available for any rating decision where less than the full benefit has been awarded.
If the claimant does not elect the DRO, his case will proceed as a traditional appeal. There is a window of opportunity for electing the DRO. It is recommended that if the claimant wishes DRO review, he should request it in his NOD. Otherwise, VA will send the claimant an election letter, advising him of the option for DRO review and affording him 60 days to make an election. If the claimant does nothing within the 60-day period, the appeal will automatically proceed as a traditional appeal.
The traditional appeal process involves the issuance of a Statement of the Case and a substantive appeal to the BVA.
If the DRO has been selected he or she will review the evidence and applicable laws de novo and make a new decision. The DRO should not give deference to the previous rating decision. The DRO also has the authority to order additional development, conduct a hearing, if requested, or hold an informal conference. See 38 C.F.R. § 3.2600(a).
The DRO cannot overturn the favorable portion of the previous rating decision, unless the favorable portion of the prior decision contained clear and unmistakable error ("CUE"). Under the CAVC's jurisprudence, evidence that is "clear and unmistakable" must be undebatable. See Quirin v. Shinseki, 22 Vet. App. 390, 396 (2009).
Limitations on the DRO
The DRO cannot "bargain" with the claimant. The VA adjudications manual states in relevant part:
A DRO cannot make a bargain with an appellant or his/her representative by requesting or requiring him/her to withdraw a claim or take any action in exchange for the granting of any benefit.
Manual M21-1MR, Part I, 5.C.12.h.
Note: The DRO's know the people from the rating team. They generally will not overturn their colleague unless you give them something different to form the basis of a new decision. We recommend additional development of evidence and argument at the DRO stage.
The DRO Hearing
Some attorneys view the hearing as an important strategic tool in personalizing the claim before the VA adjudicators. It provides the VA adjudicators with an in-person opportunity to assess the claimant's credibility. In practice, however, if any aspect of the claim is predicated on the credibility of a claimant (absent a combat veteran situation under 38 U.S.C. § 1154(b)), then as a practitioner you must be realistic about the chances of success. The VA does not like to grant claims based solely on veteran's lay statements.
If the claimant wishes a hearing, then it should be done after the initial rating decision but before the Substantive Appeal (VA Form 9) is filed.
The VA hearings are informal, and take place in a non-descript room with microphones and a tape recorder. The decision maker, the claimant, his representative and any witnesses are usually the only ones allowed into the room. Others may be present upon consent of the claimant. The DRO generally does not ask too many questions, but he/she has a duty to explain the law or suggest the introduction of missing evidence. See 38 C.F.R. § 3.103(c).
The Statement of the Case
The next step in the process after the NOD and DRO review is the VA's issuance of a Statement of the Case ("SOC"). Unless the disagreement is resolved in the claimant's favor, the VA must issue an SOC. When the VA sends the SOC it is accompanied by information as to how to file a Substantive Appeal.
The SOC is intended to afford the claimant with an understanding of the reasons for the VA's decision. The idea is that a detailed understanding of the basis for the prior denial will assist the claimant in preparing his Substantive Appeal. In essence, the SOC is a readjudication of the claim.
According to the 2011 Fiscal Year report of the Chairman of the Board of Veterans Appeals, it takes an average of 257 days after the NOD is filed for the VA to issue the SOC.
The SOC is often many pages of boilerplate law and regulations. The SOC is required to include a summary of the applicable laws and regulations, as well as a summary of the evidence. The SOC should include an application of the laws to the facts.
The SOC should be compared with the evidence of record. It's not always accurate.

The month before Deb and Jeff had gone up to NY to visit Bob and Carol.
My memory is not the one I had hoped for at this time. I don't recall much, let alone what I ate for breakfast. I'm glad to see someone is reading what's been written. I too followed Jack;s writing and he inspired me to write what I could, when I get the time. I'm sorry for your loss with your sister. It must have been quite difficult.
Where do you live now? I see you bike. If you're ever in the Doylestown area, we have some HUGE riders here, including my son Zac who works and rides for the local bike shop...Cycle Sports. He's 15 going on 35! He owns a number of cycles and does it all. He leads rides on weekends over to NJ from here.
We're just back from a the Jersey shore...another Worthington reunion in Stone Harbor. I hope this finds you well and I look forward to hearing from you.


Schemes of Arrangement ("Schemes"), employed in the U.K and former British Commonwealth countries to restructure funded debt, regularly provide so-called third-party releases – non-consensual releases by creditors of persons in addition to the debtor. In plenary U.S. cases, third-party releases are rare and subject to rigorous standards; some judicial circuits (the 5th, 9th an 10th) prohibit them entirely. See, e.g. Resorts International v. Lowenschuss, 67 F. 3d 1394 (9th Cir. 1995), cert. denied 517 U.S. 1243, 116 S.Ct. 2497 (1996). However, in chapter 15 cases that recognize Schemes, courts often also grant comity to the foreign court to enforce the third-party releases, giving priority to this overriding policy of chapter 15. See In re Metcalfe & Mansfield Alternative Investments, 421 B.R. 685 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2010); see also Order Granting Verified Petiton for Recognition of Foreign Proceeding, Winsway Enterprises Holdings Limited, Case No. 16-10833 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2016).
The logic of the cases enforcing third-party releases granted in foreign proceedings would seem to escape this ruling since those cases rely on adjudicatory power of the foreign court not the bankruptcy court. Nonetheless, the Millennium decision provides ammunition to a party objecting to recognition and enforcement of a scheme of arrangement that includes, as is typical, broad third-party releases. New York might now be a safer venue choice than Delaware for chapter 15 proceedings that seek recognition and enforcement of schemes of arrangement.

It's awards season in Hollywood. Around this time of year, big studios premiere the movies they think have the best chance of bringing home awards from the various events. But perhaps some of the most exciting contenders are the independent movies with tiny budgets. These releases occasionally surprise people by being dark-horse contenders to the big blockbusters.
Part of what's so alluring about filmmaking is the relative accessibility. Even on a very limited budget, anyone with a camera and a vision can make something that has a big impact on people.
Until recently, smartphones were only used for found footage or shaky cam shots. The idea of shooting a professional-looking film entirely on a phone seemed dubious. Now, with the popularity of smartphones and the marked increase in their cameras' quality, audiences have been stunned by critically acclaimed films shot on tiny cellular devices.
Harness the power of your tiny portable camera! Here's what you'll need if you want to try your hand at filmmaking with the same tool you trust to snap your selfies.
You can't make a movie without a script. There are plenty of mobile writing apps available for free, but you may want a more specialized app.
A screenwriting app will have more helpful editing and formatting tools for the filmwriting process. Some even include sharing options that help you collect feedback from others online. A good screenwriting app will run somewhere around $15.
Once you finish your script, you're going to want to storyboard your scenes. Again, there are plenty of high-quality drawing apps that would work for this, but for organization tools specifically for filmmaking, you'll want to invest in a storyboarding app. An app like this will cost you around $20.
Of all the things to save for, this is the big one. With this lens, your phone can capture a wide, cinema-quality shot.
Anamorphic adapter lenses fit over the top of your phone, resting in front of the camera. They shoot in 16:9 aspect ratio without cropping your video, meaning you can use all of your phone's sensor to capture every shot.
The lens squeezes your video to fit on the smaller sensor, but you can "de-squeeze" video in post-production. This gives you a look similar to that provided by the anamorphic lenses used on some Hollywood productions, including unique distortion, blurring, and horizontal lens flares.
There are several camera apps that help you record with far more precision than the default app that comes with your phone. If you are going to use an anamorphic lens, you are going to need an app that can convert the resulting 4:3 squeezed video to 16:9 video. These apps include this "de-squeezing feature" as well as the ability to manually control exposure, tint, color, audio gain, and other features that help you get the exact feel you're looking for with limited editing in post-production.
These apps are fairly cheap. There are ones available for free, but you are going to want to do your research and find a higher-quality app for around $10. Paid apps tend to have more options and better interfaces.
To get a steady shot, you'll need a stabilizing video mount. Without one, your footage is still going to be shaky regardless of your lens quality or amount of time you spend tweaking effects in post-production.
There are professional stabilizing video mounts available for smartphones, but they can be quite expensive, ranging from $70 for off-brand options to $180 for name-brand models. The problem with these is that they aren't future-proof. As the shapes and sizes of smartphones have changed, mount manufacturers have been slow to adapt. Professional stabilizing mounts that are compatible with newer, larger smartphones (the ones with superior cameras) are few and far between.
If you have a newer phone, you may want to make a stabilizing mount yourself. By installing a skateboard bearing inside PVC pipe couplings, you can create what's called a gimbal—the heart of any stabilizing mount. From here, there are a number of ways to attach a run-of-the-mill smartphone mount and a counterweight. There are several DIY projects you can find online, and most won't require much more than an aluminum rod, smartphone mount, PVC couplings, nuts, and bolts. The specific list of materials will change based on which project you decide to build, but collectively they shouldn't run more than $30.

SPLIT SUPPORT OVER HOGAN ROAD PLANS: A clear majority of Washington-area residents favor adding express toll lanes to Interstate 270 and Maryland's part of the Capital Beltway, a centerpiece of Gov. Larry Hogan's traffic relief plans, according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll. However, Katherine Shaver and Emily Guskin of the Post report, support is uneven in the Maryland suburbs, and most residents regionwide say they are concerned about tolls being too expensive, the lanes failing to reduce traffic and nearby homes being destroyed by wider highways.
ELRICH ASKS COMMISSION TO NOT CEDE LAND FOR ROAD PLAN: Dan Schere of Bethesda Beat reports that Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich is asking the region's planning commission not to cede any land to the state for Gov. Larry Hogan's plans to add toll lanes to the Capital Beltway. "Many of our parks, trees and streams are in an increasingly fragile state. We should take all necessary steps to protect these resources as part of our efforts to maintain clean water and air and to mitigate the devastating effects of climate change," Elrich wrote in a letter to the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.
OPINION: FIXING CONGESTION A TWO-WAY STREET: The editorial board for the Post opines that it is folly to consider projected growth in the Washington region's population — more than 1 million new jobs and people by 2045 — and conclude that the existing, badly congested road network will be adequate. Improving and expanding mass transit options will be essential. But so will improving and expanding major highways.
HEALTH, ED BILLS TO BE SIGNED: Gov. Larry Hogan and legislative leaders will sign dozens of bills into law on Monday, including measures to ease health care enrollment and raise the legal age to buy tobacco products in the state. Monday's list of bill signings is dominated by health and education-related measures, but the governor will also sign into law several measures to change criminal law and reform government, Danielle Gaines of Maryland Matters writes.
Starting in October, you'll need to be 21 to buy tobacco and nicotine products in Maryland, under a bill that Gov. Larry Hogan plans to sign into law on Monday, Pamela Wood of the Sun reports. The law is intended to cut down on the access that teenagers have to cigarettes, e-cigarettes and other tobacco and nicotine products. It contains a key exception: People age 18 to 20 with a military identification can still buy tobacco and nicotine products.
PELVIC EXAM CONSENT BILL: Bills introduced in roughly a dozen states this year would require that women undergoing gynecological surgeries give explicit approval to a pelvic exam beforehand. The Maryland legislature unanimously sent legislation to Gov. Larry Hogan, who is expected to sign it, Jennifer McDermott and Carla K. Johnson report for the Associated Press.
MD TO JOIN DRUG PRICE FIXING SUIT: Steve LeBlanc and Martin Crutsinger of the Associated Press report that Attorney General Brian Frosh announced Sunday Maryland will join more than 40 other states that are alleging the nation's largest generic drug manufacturers conspired to artificially inflate and manipulate prices for more than 100 generic drugs, including treatments for diabetes, cancer, arthritis and other medical conditions.
OPINION: RELEASE MONEY FOR FREDERICK PROJECT: In urging Gov. Larry Hogan to release the money appropriated for a downtown Frederick hotel and conference center, the editorial board for the Frederick News Post opines that Frederick's Republican delegation to the Maryland General Assembly got an earful of criticism from an unusual source — the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce. Generally speaking, Republicans and chambers of commerce go hand-in-glove on public policy.
INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE MARKET STABILIZING: Carriers in Maryland's individual health market have requested average rate decreases for the second straight year, signaling that after several years of steep rate increases a reinsurance program has stabilized the market, Tim Curtis of the Daily Record reports.
MVA PUSHES REAL ID DEADLINE COMPLIANCE: Imagine it's sometime in June and you're rushing to the airport to catch a flight for your vacation. In the rearview mirror, you see a police car flashing its lights to pull you over, Jean Marbella writes in the Sun. You might get a speeding ticket — and worse, if you are one of some 66,300 Maryland drivers whose license needs to be updated to comply with federal REAL ID laws by June, but you missed the deadline. The officer will confiscate your license, which of course you need to board the plane.
STATE REPUBLICANS SUPPORT BOSSIE: A Maryland Matters analysis of the financial activities of David Bossie's Presidential Coalition found that a substantial portion of its overall direct political spending went to Bossie's home state of Maryland, where prominent Republicans are standing behind him, reports Danielle Gaines. Bossie, the head of the controversial conservative group Citizens United and a Republican National committeeman from Maryland, is under scrutiny for collecting $18 million over the last two years, but directing only a small portion, about 3%, to direct political activity, using most the rest of the money to solicit more funds.
OPINION: WAY TO GO KKT: The editorial board for the Sun gives a shoutout to former Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend for her stand against her brother's anti-vaccination campaign, opining that Townsend is remembered for several things: her two terms as lieutenant governor under Parris Glendening, her subsequent failed gubernatorial bid and, in more recent years, her advocacy for retirement savings plans. But this week, she graduated from Free State political footnote to courageous truth-teller on the national stage by challenging her own brother and his Alternative Fact of the Week-worthy approach to vaccines.
SMALL COLLEGES ADAPT LIBERAL ARTS PROGRAMS: Responding to a growing national debate over the relevance of a traditional liberal arts education, Goucher and other small, private liberal arts colleges in Maryland are adapting quickly. They have adjusted course offerings, lowered their tuition, added graduate classes that lead to employment and developed other strategies to attract students, Liz Bowie of the Sun reports.
ACTING UMMS CEO PROMISES SWIFT ACCOUNTABILITY: John Ashworth, the acting CEO of the University of Maryland Medical System, said Friday that he is prepared to act "swiftly and properly" upon completion of an internal review to hold staff accountable for any problems with contracts the system had with a third of its board members, Kevin Rector of the Sun reports.
MARYLAND LAWMAKERS CRITICIZE TRUMP JULY 4 PLAN: President Trump's plan to tweak Washington, D.C.'s traditional July 4 celebration on the National Mall isn't playing well with political leaders in neighboring Maryland, Bruce DePuty writes in Maryland Matters. "Most presidents have celebrated the Fourth of July without trying to corrupt it with propaganda and monarchical pageantry, but that's obviously not his style," said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) in an interview.
BALL TO UNVEIL ELLICOTT CITY PLAN: Howard County Executive Calvin Ball is slated to reveal Monday his plan to protect Ellicott City's flood-prone Main Street, Adam Bednar reports in the Daily Record. Options available to Ball involve razing as many as six buildings in historic Ellicott City. The cost of implementing the proposals could be as high as $175 million. The decision comes after Ball vowed in April to make a selection following a transparent process with robust community input.
MAYOR YOUNG's NEW, OLD TEAM: Baltimore Mayor Jack Young on Friday announced his executive leadership team for his new administration — selecting five top lieutenants with decades of experience in government, including several who held posts under former Mayor Catherine Pugh, Luke Broadwater of the Sun reports.
CARROLL TO EXPLORE OTHER FORMS OF GOV'T: Commissioner, home rule or charter? The Carroll County Board of Commissioners represent the first form of county government in Maryland, but on June 11, they will be briefed on all the options, Jon Kelvey reports in the Carroll County Times. Carroll County's commissioner system of government has five commissioners making budget and other decisions, but they unable to pass legislation on their own, instead relying on Carroll's delegation in the General Assembly to get laws passed. Charter government for the county is being pushed by Commissioner Eric Bouchat.

A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, at Olive Branch Cemetery in the City Park of Portsmouth, Virginia.
Dr. Wood joined the Baylor faculty in 1955 as an associate professor of religious history and became known as one of the most active faculty members on campus, emphasizing mission work in his courses. After publishing the landmark book "Church and State in Scripture, History, and Constitutional Law" in 1958 with Baylor professors Dr. E. Bruce Thompson in history and Dr. Robert T. Miller in political science, Dr. Wood became the first director of the Dawson Institute.
Under Dr. Wood's leadership of nearly 30 years, Baylor's J.M. Dawson Institute for Church-State Studies emerged as an internationally known center exclusively devoted to research in the broad area of religion, politics and society and committed to the separation of church and state and the advancement of religious liberty around the world. During his first tenure as director, the Institute developed several undergraduate and graduate courses, culminating in a Ph.D. program, launched the Journal of Church and State, the only academic journal dedicated to church-state issues at the time, and opened the J.M. Dawson Church-State Research Center in Carroll Library.
In 1972, he left Baylor to become executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee, where he served until 1980, expanding the mission of the organization and emphasizing a range of policy issues, including international human rights and ending the nuclear arms race. After eight years with BJC, he returned to Baylor, serving again as director of the Dawson Institute until 1995.
Dr. Wood was internationally renowned for his knowledge on issues dealing with church and state. As a result, his expertise was requested to help with various national and international issues. Wood served on various religious liberties committees, such as the World Council of Churches Committee on Religious Liberty, the First World Congress on Religious Liberty and the International Academy for Freedom of Religion and Belief, of which he was president. He served as a consultant to many Eastern European countries following the collapse of the Soviet Union, advising them on the creation of new religious freedom laws. He received many awards, including the Religious Liberty Award by the Alliance for the Preservation of Religious Liberty.
The Baptist Joint Committee also remembered Dr. Wood in a tribute on its website.
He was predeceased by his wife of 58 years, Alma McKenzie Wood. He was a devoted father to his son, James E. Wood III, and also is survived by many family members and friends.

Great Alne Primary is a mainstream school. All classrooms are on one level with ramps to an outside classroom. There are disabled toilet facilities.
Children are assessed on entry and monitored and observed carefully in each term of schooling. Teachers meet to discuss the progress of pupils, including any concerns, formally once a term. However, where a there is a cause for concern, discussions will take place between the class teacher and the SENCO (Mrs Lesley Hendrie) at any point in the term. Parents may be consulted in a variety of ways: at Parent Evenings, informal discussions, specific meetings following targeted assessments.
The school uses specialist provision from Round Oak School. A teacher from Round Oak visits regularly to assist in making assessments, advising the school on strategies and interventions and monitoring the progress of children on the SEN register. Additionally the specialist teacher may also meet with parents to discuss the results of assessments and the provision the school may make as a result.
The Educational Pyschologist may also be involved in the assessment of children. She also monitors the progress of children on the SEN register and attends Statement reviews where appropriate.
Children are fully involved in discussions about their learning. For example, they are invited to contribute to Statement reviews and to IEP reviews. The school is moving towards using time limited Intervention Plans and pupils will be asked to help assess how successful their plan has been. Our marking policy ensures children are given time to reflect on their learning and to respond to comments and advice.
Before children begin school there are Induction sessions for Foundation Stage pupils. These provide an opportunity for puils to become familiar with the school environment and their classroom. They meet the adults who will support them in their first year of schooling.
In the September of the Reception Year we have a phased entry to school, with most pupils attending full time by the third week. However, where there are particular needs we take a flexible approach, and some pupils may attend part time for a longer period.
We prepare pupils for the secondary phase in a variety of ways. These may include arranging additional visits to their future setting, accompanied by a trusted adult. Key adults from secondary provision may visit our setting to meet groups of pupils or individuals. Preparation may be personalised depending on the needs of the pupil and may be a gradual process over their last academic year at Primary school.
Teachers work with teaching assistants to plan the best use of time to support children with specific needs. This may include providing timetables for daily interventions, one to one reading and in class support.
In class lessons children on the SEN register may be supported in a number of ways, including one to one support from a teaching assistant or teacher and tailored resources.
Visual support, such as visual timetables, reminders about 'good' behaviours etc. are available in all classrooms and in dedicated work spaces.
Time limited Interventions are planned to address specific areas, for example number bonds. A six week Intervention using Precision Teaching may be planned as the result of assessment and reviewed at the end of that period. We follow the ASSESS, DO, REVIEW approach.
Where a child has specific needs, they may require an individually tailored timetable to ensure they are fully engaged in the learning process. Some children may also require a 'space' to work in which is specifically for them. This is most likely to be a dedicated area in the classroom, but may also be a 'safe space' out of the classroom.
The Head Teacher and SENCO is Mrs Lesley Hendrie. Mrs Hendrie has been a SENCO for 17 years and has experience of coordinating SEN provision for children with a wide range of needs.
Mrs Hendrie meets with the SENCOS of local schools on a regular basis to discuss current issues and share good practice.
We use Warwickshire Educational Psychology support and Round Oak School to assist in the assessment and monitoring of children on the SEN register.
The Educational Psychology service also provide training to all staff. Recent training has included Attachment Disorder and ADHD.
Individual staff have attended training on ASD and other training specific to the needs of children in school.
We use IDS (Integrated Disability Service) to support the needs of children with ASD and other area such as hearing.
The ASSESS, DO, REVIEW process ensure that we regularly assess our provision.
Termly Pupil Progress meeting ensure we look carefully at the progress of all pupils and ask challenging questions about their progress and whether our provision is appropriate and effective.
We meet at least twice a year with parents of pupils on the SEN register to review progress, discuss sucessses and concerns. Children are asked to give their views, either in the meetings themselves or by questionnaire completed with their parents. The views of all parties are important in evaluating provision.
Discussion about the effectiveness of our provision take place at the regular visits from specialist providers i.e Round Oak, IDS, Educational Psychology.
Wherever possible school activities are available to all children.
There may be specific support provided for pupils to fully participate in lunch and break times and after school clubs. These may include one to one support, small group play, paired play, access to ICT facilities for small groups.
On trips out of school and residential trips, support may be one to one and parents may also take part . Seating on coaches may be considered and plans put in place to address situations of anxiety out of achool.
School Council provide opportunities for children to express their views and ideas about how to improve their experience in school.
Circle time is used in classess to share ideas, worries and fears.
Lego Therapy is used in small groups to learn about sharing, listening to others and turn taking.
Y6 children act as buddies to Reception pupils, emsuring their needs and worries are listened to.
There is a Friendship Stop in the playground.
Trusted adults work one to one with children on the SEN register on exploring feelings.
The school has close links with the School Nurse and she may be involved in reviews and in work with parents as well as giving advice.
The school buys in support from Round Oak, IDS and Educational Psychology.
The school has had some Family Support Worker help, but this is dependant on the service funding.
If a parent has a concern or complaint, in the first instance they would speak to the class teacher. If matters are not resolved then they can speak to The Head Teacher/SENCO. The next step would be to speak to the Chair of Governors, Mrs Lorraine Armstrong who can be contacted via the school office.
The needs of pupils across the school are well catered for in a warm and nurturing environment. This is particularly true for those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, including social, emotional and mental health needs.

Special Lecture Series
Every January, Mote hosts its Special Lecture Series featuring Mote scientists who share their world-class research on Monday evenings. Each lecture takes place from 6–7:30 p.m. in the Wave Center on the main aquarium campus (doors open at 5 p.m.) and include a live presentation followed by a Q&A session. Lectures are also live-streamed for those who cannot attend in person.
This event usually sells out, reserve your tickets early!
2023 Special Lecture Series Lineup
Dr. Jason Spadaro, Coral Reef Restoration
Rising to the challenge of coral reef restoration
Coral reefs are in trouble. Mote Marine Laboratory is not just a pioneer in coral reef restoration science, but a pillar of the coral restoration community. Mote scientists actively propagate and restore corals to degraded reef structures, but Mote actively selects the most resilient and robust corals with the goal of creating a strong and resilient community of restored corals.
Recently, Mote has also invested in the restoration of critical ecosystem functions, such as grazing. Mote scientists are engaged in the aquaculture of a large crab species that consumes many of the algae that otherwise would compete with corals for space on the reef. Tying all of these intricate and complex components together is nothing short of challenging. However, Mote scientists are more than up to the challenge with cutting-edge science guiding the way.
Thank you to those who attended January 9, 2023! Be sure to check out the upcoming lectures below.
Miss the lecture? Watch Here!
Dr. Emily Hall, Ocean Acidification & Jim Culter, Benthic Ecology
Diving deep to explore the Gulf of Mexico blue holes
WHAT ARE BLUE HOLES?
Mote Scientists embark on journeys to the "deep" to explore blue holes. Blue holes are underwater sinkholes, similar to sinkholes on land. Underwater sinkholes, springs, and caverns are karst (calcium carbonate rock) features that are scattered across Florida's shelf floor. They vary in size, shape and depth, but most are ecological hot spots. A blue hole can be an oasis in an otherwise barren seafloor. Please join Dr. Emily Hall and Jim Culter as they take you with them on a journey and explore these beautiful and mystery filled holes in our own Gulf of Mexico!
Thank you to those who attended January 16, 2023! Be sure to check out the upcoming lectures below.
Dr. Pierce, Ecotoxicology & Dr. Heil, Red Tide Institute
Red tide demise: Mitigation Initiative update
Florida Red Tide causes severe negative impacts on the environment, economies and human health along Florida's west coast, and periodically the Atlantic coast. As a result of the severe 2018-2019 Red Tide, The Florida Legislature, Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission initiated the 6 year Red Tide Mitigation and Technology Development Initiative. This Initiative provides funding for Mote scientists to partner with other institutions and companies to conduct extensive laboratory and field research on the efficacy of a variety of potential products and technologies to mitigate the adverse effects of Red Tide, some of which you will hear about during this presentation.
Dr. Nicole Rhody, Marine & Freshwater Aquaculture
Farming the future: Aquaculture's role in the global food security agenda
Aquaculture is currently the fastest-growing food production sector globally and a sustainable option for attaining food security. Sustainable aquaculture methods can protect our oceans and help meet the increasing demand for seafood. Expanding our ability to cultivate aquatic animals and plants will be critical to sustainable human food production in the future. Join us to discover the new and innovative ways Mote's aquaculture research scientists are working to ensure global access to healthy and sustainable protein options.

Margaret had taken a redundancy package and this was her last week at work. She couldn't wait for the first day of the rest of her life! This evening she was meeting her work mates for a pub meal, there would be some sad farewells then her new life would begin.
A couple of months ago when voluntary redundancy was announced she had decided to make her long-held dream a reality. She would move to Spain. Her boys were grown up with lives of their own, she was free now to make it happen.
But first she would need a home business to support her, her redundancy money would be her security, the money from her house sale would buy her somewhere in Spain. She had spent many holidays there and prices were cheaper than in England, that would give her spare cash. She couldn't wait to see the sun virtually every day, what a difference it would make to her SAD disorder that made her so depressed in the dark days of winter.
Margaret had been scouring the internet for home based business ideas for ages. She was reasonably competent on a computer and loved writing stories as a hobby but had never managed to get anything published, but now with Kindle, maybe there was a chance.
Her friend Madge had recently started a small business in her spare time, something called affiliate marketing, where she sold other peoples' products. It was early days but she had made a few sales, this gave Margaret confidence that a home business could work. The company that had set Margaret up had other business start-up plans. She was lucky to have found one that would show her how to market eBooks and embrace her love of writing, and create a business. She had already started the course and couldn't wait to work on it full-time.
Her plans were to build her business over the next year or two, she had already arranged a part-time job at the local pub a few evenings a week. That would give her time to decide where in Spain she would like to live. Time to find a perfect little house there, maybe start to learn the language, and soon she would be able to move to Spain.
She couldn't wait to start living her dream!
So if you have a dream, don't let it waste away, with careful planning belief in yourself and determination you too can live your dream!

For decades, hypothyroid patients have been placed on thryoxine-only medications. Since 1973, patients have been dosed according to the TSH. And after years of misery and inadequate treatment side effects, patients are stepping up to the plate to defy and give witness to the failure of both thyroxine-only and the TSH lab, in their health and well-being.
We, as patients, think the time is ripe, and change is overdue, to reevaluate decades-only concepts on medications and lab ranges which are not working.
The International Hormone Society
Consensus Group of Experts on Hormone Therapies
Consensus # 1
Thyroid Hormone Therapy of Hypothyroidism� of September 29, 2005
After having reviewed the scientific literature and exchanged experiences with physicians from all over the world who are competent in hormone therapies, we, members of the Consensus Group of Experts of the International Hormone Society, think the time is ripe to reconsider current concepts on thyroid treatment of hypothyroidism. The view that hypothyroidism is best treated by thyroxin alone is not based on solid scientific evidence. The studies comparing the efficacy of thyroxin alone versus that of combination thyroxin and triiodothyronine medications have in general not shown superiority of thyroxin alone above the combination of thyroxin with a smaller dose of triiodothyronine. On the contrary, a few studies have shown a significantly greater efficacy of combined thyroxin-triiodothyronine medications compared to the use of thyroxin alone in humans on such divergent parameters as serum cholesterol, mental and physical symptoms, and in animals on goitre formation and intracellular triiodothyronine(T3)-euthyroidism, just to name some of the greater benefits. The facts that T3 is the major intracellular thyroid hormone, and that a low serum level of T3 is more often than a low serum T4 (thyroxin) or a high TSH, the critical parameter in mortality studies, especially cardiovascular, and that the absorption of T3 is much more efficient and stable than that of T4, give credibility to the view that a combination of thyroxin with triiodothyronine may be better for the hypothyroid patient. The evidence is sufficient to guarantee the physician a freedom of choice in thyroid medication: either thyroxin alone or thyroxin and triiodothyronine. As hypothyroidism has serious adverse consequences on the quality of life and health of patients, we recommend that physicians, in light of the solid evidence here collected, should first try to treat hypothyroid patients with a combined thyroxin and triiodothyronine preparation. As the combination treatment contains the immediately active triiodothyronine, we recommend that physicians follow some safety guidelines, in addition to the obvious one of avoiding overdoses when they administer thyroxin and triiodothyronine medications.
Following the measures listed below increases the safety and tolerance of the treatment:
1. The first guideline is to start the treatment at very low doses and then to slowly and gradually increase the dose until clinical euthyroidism is reached.
2. The second guideline is to tell the patient to avoid all caffeinated and similar stimulating drinks that may increase the orthosympathic activity.
3. The third guideline is to regularly follow-up the patient with a good clinical interview and examination and laboratory tests every two to twelve months depending on the patient's needs.
4. The fourth guideline is to carefully screen for adrenal deficiency in hypothyroid patients, as some patients with low or borderline low cortisol levels may poorly tolerate any type of thyroid medication, and in particular thyroxin-triiodothyronine combinations.
The intolerance may come from over-activity of the orthosympathic nervous system that often accompanies states of low Cortisol, and an excessive and rapid conversion of thyroxin to triiodothyronine that puts these patients easily into a state of excess T3 and thus hyperthyroidism, and further increases the orthosympathic activity. In patients with Cortisol deficiency, we recommend the physician to treat the low cortisol state prior to or simultaneously with the thyroid treatment. If not, thyroxin alone may be the better treatment of hypothyroidism in the presence of an untreated cortisol deficiency. In most other instances, thyroxin and triiodothyronine remains the first, but not exclusive, choice for treatment of hypothyroidism for the International Hormone Society's Consensus Group. Concerning the debate about which combination treatment works best: synthetic T3-T4 or desiccated thyroid, the Consensus Group states the following:
Reports of patients feeling better on desiccated thyroid may have scientific evidence as these preparations contain along with T3 and T4 a number of other substances that may have some thyroid activity as diiodo-and monoiodo-thyronines. In addition, the binding of much of the thyroid hormones to the bigger thyroglobulin molecule allows a slower intestinal absorption and, later, once arrived in the bloodstream, a slower release of thyroid hormones in the blood, thereby insuring a more persistent action and a better tolerance by spreading the action over a longer period of time. Thus, desiccated thyroid may work better. The view that the potency of thyroid preparations of animal origin may have more fluctuations has arguments. For this reason, preference is given to preparations that are officially registered and well-controlled. It must be said that the frequent FDA-recalls of poorly reliable, less potent than announced thyroxin preparations of various pharmaceutical firms in the USA, makes thyroxin not a better alternative. In the light of the Mad Cow's Disease, the International Hormone Society does not recommend the use of desiccated thyroid of beef origin. For these reasons, the position adopted by the Consensus Group members of The International Hormone Society is that both type of T3-T4 preparations have their pros and cons, and the freedom of choice between these two should be left to the physician.

There is no proper or exact definition of crime. Criminologists try to define crime with their own perspective. According to some criminologists, criminals are born criminals and their gestures and posture are different from others. While some criticized such views. But when we delve into the sociological view of crime, it depends upon the Society. What is Crime today, may not be tomorrow. For instance - White-collar crime was not prevailing earlier but due to the corruption and greed nature of human beings. There was a need to enforce the law against white-collar crime. Another example is Medical negligence. This term wasn't even prevailing earlier because doctors were treated like a God. People were having blind faith in doctors, but with the passage of time, everything changed.
According to Roscoe Pound - Crime is a social phenomenon and criminal law protects various social interests. This has been believed because the change in society directly or indirectly led to an amendment in the law. Adultery (Section 497 of Indian Penal Code) was a crime but it was declared unconstitutional by the five-judge bench of the Supreme Court on September 27, 2018. Hence, social change doesn't depend on anyone's factor which determines crime. But it depends on various factors that affected human behaviors such as cultural change, regional change, economic change, and so on. According to the criminologists Russia - Crimes are basically the creation of criminal policy, adopted from time to time by those sections of the community who are powerful or astute enough to safeguard their own security and comfort bi causing sovereign power of the state to repress the conduct which they feel may endanger their position. He basically wanted to explain that law was framed as per the need and comfort of the ruling class.

1 - Retail shops: Where should they be? How many does Sechelt want? Who should get a license?
2 - Production: Are the existing regulations too restrictive? Where should the be permitted to operate? Will the provide jobs?
Oils and extracts, dried product, and seeds can be purchased from a licenced retailer. Cannabis food and drink products, body lotions, etc. are not yet legal. Medical cannabis products are not available in any retail operation in Canada.
Four unlicensed retailers exist in Sechelt and have been granted temporary use permits for a 2 year period. BC has brought in a retail licence procedure that includes public consultation and municipal approval of each licence.
Should retail sales be allowed in Sechelt through a general zoning amendment? If so, where should they be allowed? In the C-2 Commercial 2 zone (Sechelt downtown and Wilson Creek Plaza)?
Or should each retailer have to go through a site-specific rezoning application along with their BC licence application review?
Should there be a maximum number of licenced retailers in the District?
Or should there be a minimum separation distance between these types of businesses?
The provincial government is currently accepting applications for provincial retail cannabis licenses. When an application is received, the Province will contact the applicable municipality and request municipal approval of the site location and to ensure compliance with all municipal bylaws and regulations. The Province has indicated that applications for provincial retail cannabis licenses will not be approved without prior support from the applicable municipality. If the municipality refuses to accept the application, the Province will deny the license.
What citizens are asked to consider now is, under what circumstances should an application be approved or denied.
What are the current zoning regulations?
The District adopted new use definitions for the zoning bylaw (Bylaw 25-288, 2018), but these uses are not currently applied to the any zone.Unless regulated under a TUP, non-medical marijuana retail is prohibited in all zones. The Council will seek community input prior to passing zoning use regulations pertaining to retail cannabis operations.
Cannabis means a cannabis plant as defined in the Federal Government's Cannabis Act, as amended from time to time.
Medical Marijuana means cannabis, pursuant to the Federal Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations, as amended from time to time, but does not include "Personal Non-Medical Marijuana" or "Non-medical Marijuana".
Personal Non-Medical Marijuana means the use of land, buildings or structures on a lot for the cultivation of not more than 4 cannabis plants per dwelling situated on the same lot, for consumption by the dwelling's residents, and no other persons.
