Mobile Health Activity Spreads to Over 4 in 5 Countries, but Remains Limited to Small Scale and Single Issue Projects
Cape Town, South Africa (PRWEB) June 07, 2011
Eighty-three per cent of governments surveyed report at least one use of mobile phones to support health activities in their country, yet the majority of mHealth activities are limited in size and scope, according to a new World Health Organization (WHO) report launched today with support from the mHealth Alliance, the United Nations Foundation and the Vodafone Foundation at the GSMA and mHealth Alliance Mobile Health Summit.
Kathy Calvin, CEO of the UN Foundation, a founding member and host of the mHealth Alliance, welcomed the report saying, "Wireless technologies have enormous potential to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of health programs as they grow beyond the pilot programs common in most of the world. This report provides the data that can help accelerate the strategic use and evaluation of mobile technologies as mHealth is taken to scale to help meet health needs."
The study, mHealth: New Horizons for Health through Mobile Technologies, is the most comprehensive global study of mHealth activity to date. Written by WHO's Global Observatory for eHealth, the report analyzes data from 112 countries by 14 mHealth activity types, as well as WHO region and World Bank income group. The report also documents the maturity of mHealth activities, and barriers to mHealth adoption and scale.
Although the report shows a groundswell of mHealth activity globally, the majority of these projects are still in pilot phase. Two-thirds of countries surveyed reported between one and three mHealth activities, yet only 12% of reported efforts to evaluate their mHealth activities.
The four most frequently reported mHealth initiatives were health call centres (59%), emergency toll-free telephone services (55%), managing emergencies and disasters (54%), and mobile telemedicine (49%). mHealth initiatives varied by region and income group, with health survey initiatives, for example, being among the most commonly reported mHealth activities in low income countries, yet among the least commonly reported mHealth activities globally.
The 14 mHealth activity types include: appointment reminders, community mobilization and health promotion, decision support systems, emergency toll-free telephone services, health call centers/health care telephone helplines, health surveillance, health surveys, information initiatives, mobile telemedicine, patient monitoring, patient records, public health emergencies, raising awareness, and treatment compliance.
The complete report is available on the WHO website http://www.who.int/goe/publications.

Wallaceburg man designs adapter so snorkel masks can be used by medical workers
Jake Romphf
Wallaceburg's Justin Everaert, a mechanical engineering technology student, holds a full-face snorkelling mask he's equipped with his 3D-printed adapter to connect the mask to a highly efficient P100 filter. Everaert and his project partner want to donate the masks to medical and at risk workers in Ontario to protect them from COVID-19. Submitted jpg, WC
A Wallaceburg man is hoping his 3D-printed adapter prototype can be used to help convert full-face snorkelling masks into reusable protective equipment for front-line medical workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Justin Everaert, a mechanical engineering technology student, said his 3D-printing adapter connects an airtight snorkelling mask to a P100 respiratory filter. The masks could not only help alleviate worries about health-care and essential workers not having the personal protective equipment they need to prevent getting infected, but they might also offer more protection than N95 masks, he suggested.
Wallaceburg man designs adapter so snorkel masks can be used by medical workers Back to video
N95 respirators create a seal around the nose and mouth to filter out 95 per cent of airborne particles and are a critical tool of medical workers. A P100 filter blocks out 99.9 per cent of particles 0.3 microns or larger. Everaert's adapters take the place of the tube that would normally stick out of the water, and attaches the P100 filter to the mask.
"Making these adapters to be able to fit commercially available, professional-grade filters to these (masks) would offer superior protection to the standard face masks that these medical professionals are given," he said. "I'm making enormous progress. I think I'm at a point where I'm ready to hand them out to people."
Everaert is making the adapters in his Wallaceburg home. The Mohawk College student is still in the middle of test finals, but said beyond school, he's spending all his time on the adapter project.
He's also teamed with his project partner, Adam Ruppel, to share the idea on their Facebook page, Help Fix Ontario's Mask Shortage.
Everaert and Ruppel are using the Facebook page to get the word out about the GoFundMe account they're using to buy all the necessary supplies – filters, 3D-printing material and the masks – for the respirators. Their plan is to donate the masks to at-risk workers across Ontario who want to use them. Ruppel has already had interested people reach out to him.
Other teams around the world are working on the snorkel respirators. A Czech team has produced its own model and is trying to make over 10,000 for a Prague hospital.
Everaert was contacted by a team at Stanford University's Prakash Lab and is working with them to deploy the respirators globally.
The Prakash Lab's model is called the Pneumask. The Prakash team says its masks function properly but are awaiting FDA approval in the United States. The Pneumask's reusability has also been proven, the lab says, as it can be disinfected through steam sterilization or with a chlorine solution bath.
Everaert said he was on a video conference with the Prakash team and 30 medical industry professionals from across the globe who were interested in the snorkel respirators.
Everaert said their lack of certification is a barrier to get the respirators into certain medical environments. In the U.S., however, the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization allows the use of unapproved medical products if no approved ones are available.
Everaert said Canadian workers could likely use the respirators but would be liable for their own health.
"With the research-based resources of the international community, I can prove this is a viable solution for medical professionals," he said.
Everaert and Ruppel are keeping their efforts local, so 100 per cent of the GoFundMe donations go toward making the respirators just for Ontario.
"I feel like I have the responsibility to do something," Everaert said. "I feel like I have to help."

1916 – what are they celebrating?
There is something very odd with the official commemoration of 1916. The same government which is celebrating an insurrection against imperialism 90 years ago is today – against the wishes of the majority of the Irish people – allowing Irish airports to be used in support of an imperialist war. And whereas the 1916 proclamation referred to "the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland" successive southern governments have shown themselves to be on the side of international corporations. Most recently this has shown itself in the manner in which the Corrib gas fields of Co' Mayo were handed over to the Shell corporation.
1916: 90 Years on - Gombeen Nation
Date: Mon, 2006-04-10 14:22
This Easter marks the ninetieth anniversary of the 1916 rising. There is an unedifying scrabble by every politician in the state to wrap the green flag around themselves and stake their claim to be the inheritors of the tradition.
The Only Hope of Ireland
Writing shortly after the execution of James Connolly for his part in the 1916 rising the Russian/US anarchist Alexander Berkman published 'The only hope of Ireland' in his paper 'The Blast'. He argues that British policy towards the leaders of the rising was typical of British policy elsewhere and in particular in India. He also attacks the timidity of Irish American who only organised protest meetings against the executions suggesting that instead "A British Consul ornamenting a lamppost in San Francisco or New York would quickly secure the respectful attention of the British lion".
1916: What are you celebrating?
Date: Sat, 1991-03-16 17:08
THIS YEAR marks the 75th anniversary of the Easter Rising. There will be all sorts of commemorations throughout the country, organised by forces ranging from Fianna Fáil to Sinn Féin. We will hear a lot of talk about the "spirit of 1916", what does it mean today? The rising was heroic. Some would even say stupid. It had little popular support. Most Irish people at the time believed that Irish men should be off fighting the Germans. It was widely thought that in return Home Rule would become a reality. The leaders of the rising were not too worried about this. They believed that the blood sacrifice was all that was needed to inspire future generations.

Home Old_Posts Columbus Day …White America's way of throwing mud in the...
Columbus Day …White America's way of throwing mud in the face of native Americans
CHRISTOPHER Columbus reminds me of David Livingstone.
David Livingstone did not discover the Victoria Falls, he was the first Anglo Saxon to be shown the Mosi-oa-Tunya and he renamed it the Victoria Falls in honour of his British Queen.
The same goes for Christopher Columbus.
He did not discover America, America had long been discovered by those who inhabited it.
Christopher Columbus is often portrayed as the first European to sail to the Americas.
He is sometimes portrayed as the discoverer of the New World.
Yet there is evidence that the first Europeans to sail across the Atlantic were Viking explorers from Scandinavia.
In addition, the land was already populated by indigenous peoples, who had 'discovered' the Americas thousands of years before.
Columbus Day originated as a celebration of Italian-American heritage and was first held in San Francisco in 1869.
The first state-wide celebration was held in Colorado in 1907.
In 1937, Columbus Day became a holiday across the United States.
Since 1971, it has been celebrated on the second Monday in October.
The date on which Columbus arrived in the Americas is also celebrated as the Día de la Raza (Day of the Race) in Latin America and some Latino communities in the USA. However, it is a controversial holiday in some countries and has been re-named in others.
Columbus Day celebrations are controversial because the settlement of Europeans in the Americas led to the deaths of a very large proportion of the native people.
It has been argued that this was a direct result of Columbus' actions.
It is clear that the arrival of the European settlers led to the demise of a large proportion of the history and culture of the indigenous peoples of the Americas.
It has also been argued that Columbus should not be honoured for 'discovering' North America, as he only went as far as some islands in the Caribbean and never got as far as mainland America.
The indigenous population collapse was a direct result of Columbus's so-called 'discovery'.
Some, such as the American Indian Movement, have argued that the responsibility of contemporary governments and their citizens for allegedly ongoing acts of genocide against native Americans are masked by positive Columbus myths and celebrations.
They argue that a particular understanding of the legacy of Columbus has been used to legitimise their actions, and it is this misuse of history that must be exposed.
David Peat asserts that many cultural myths of North America exclude or diminish the culture and myths of native Americans.
These cultural myths include ideas expressed by Michael Berliner of the Ayn Rand Institute claiming that Western civilisation brought 'reason, science, self-reliance, individualism, ambition, and productive achievement' to a people who were based in 'primitivism, mysticism, and collectivism', and to a land that was 'sparsely inhabited, unused, and underdeveloped'.
American anthropologist Jack Weatherford says that on Columbus Day, Americans celebrate the greatest waves of genocide of the Indians known in history.
American Indian Movement of Colorado leader and activist Ward Churchill takes this argument further, contending that the mythologising and celebration of the European settlement of the Americas in Columbus Day make it easier for people today to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions, or the actions of their governments regarding indigenous populations.
He wrote in his book Bringing the Law Back Home:
Very high on the list of those expressions of non-indigenous sensibility (that) contribute to the perpetuation of genocidal policies against Indians are the annual Columbus Day celebration, events in which it is baldly asserted that the process, events, and circumstances described above are, at best, either acceptable or unimportant.
More often, the sentiments expressed by the participants are, quite frankly, that the fate of Native America embodied in Columbus and the Columbian legacy is a matter to be openly and enthusiastically applauded as an unrivalled 'boon to all mankind'.
Undeniably, the situation of American Indians will not — in fact cannot — change for the better so long as such attitudes are deemed socially acceptable by the mainstream populace.
Hence, such celebrations as Columbus Day must be stopped.
Observance of Columbus Day varies in different parts of the United States, ranging from large-scale parades and events to complete non-observance.
Most states celebrate Columbus Day as an official state holiday, though many mark it as a 'Day of Observance' or 'Recognition' and at least four do not recognise it at all. San Francisco claims the nation's oldest continuously existing celebration with the Italian-American community's annual Columbus Day Parade, which was established by Nicola Larco in 1868, while New York City boasts the largest celebration and parade.
Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, and South Dakota are US states that do not recognise Columbus Day at all, though Hawaii and South Dakota mark the day with an alternative holiday or observance.
Hawaii celebrates Discoverers' Day, which commemorates the Polynesian discoverers of Hawaii on the same date, the second Monday of October, though the name change has not ended protest related to the observance of Columbus' discovery.
South Dakota celebrates the day as an official state holiday known as 'Native American Day' rather than Columbus Day.
Oregon does not recognise Columbus Day, neither as a holiday nor a commemoration; schools and public offices remain open.
Iowa and Nevada do not celebrate Columbus Day as an official holiday; however, the governor is 'authorised and requested' by statute to proclaim the day each year.
The city of Berkeley, California, has replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day since 1992, a move which has been replicated by several other localities including Sebastopol, Santa Cruz and Dane County, Wisconsin.
Interestingly, Harvard remains the only Ivy League College, which celebrates Columbus Day.
Several students organisations at the prestigious college have, however, advocated the school to rename the holiday 'Indigenous People's Day'.
There are serious implications to this, as one of the top elite schools in the world, which churns out world leaders, politicians, business leaders, court judges, and many other influential individuals who shape not just America, but the world, the continued celebration of Columbus Day by Harvard serves as an indication that the American Establishment will never acknowledge its nasty history but continue to whitewash it, teaching its people that only others have to be held accountable and assume responsibility while it goes scot-free.
I identify with Native Americans because for me, Columbus Day would be like celebrating Rhodes and Founders weekend.

Dayam, the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is an individual right. And all the worlds in all the universes were saved, or so many seem to feel on this frabjous day. I know, I know: historic, first time the Supremes said it, yeah, I get it. I said it was a frabjous day. Whaddayouse want from me?
The Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures is an individual right. And we know what that's worth. Yeah, baby.
Given prevailing notions of statecraft, to recognize that a right is an individual one tells you nothing. It should also be observed that only individual rights exist, unless you believe in the "right" of 51% of the population to enslave the remaining 49%. That's not a right: that's power. Not the same. In any event, almost everyone believes that you have x, y and z individual rights -- until and unless they are trumped by some other consideration. That other consideration inevitably is tied to some claim relating to the "public welfare," the "public good," the public this, that and the other thing. Who is this all-powerful public anyway? Is it you? Assuredly not, after all it's your individual right that's about to be trumped. And who determines who's a member of this public that will define the limits of your not-so-inviolable individual rights? Why, those members of the public who happen to be in some branch of the government -- which is to say, the state will define the limits of your liberty.
Who's gonna win that battle, your individual right or the state? Hmm?
Dream of a stateless world. Don't vote.
Live dangerously. Dare to dare.

Last year I ran in the Whistling Pines 112 mile relay race. It was super fun! Our team won first place. Here we go again!
The weather is less than awesome this year, but you'll have that. It has been raining all morning, and it is SLICK!
Our team is not the same as last year, but we are hoping to be competitive. I think we have a chance at winning, but we'll have to run really well.
Each loop is 6.2 miles (10k). There are six runners per team, so we will all run 3 loops. I just finished my first leg. I was slipping everywhere and my hopes of finishing in 45 minutes slipped away from me. I finished my first loop in 47:50. I am cold, wet, muddy, and tired.
Now it's time to stand by the fire and cheer on my teammates. I will probably run again around 2 or 3pm. Hopefully I can warm up by then!

Why Ontario should privatize its liquor stores
Appeared in the Winnipeg Free Press
When Ontario opposition leader Tim Hudak recently released a position paper that mused about reforming how Ontarians buy their beer, wine and spirits, the usual nonsensical non sequiturs were quickly offered up by those opposed to private liquor stores.
I'll get to the myths about private booze shortly. In general though, state-owned enterprises almost invariably mean losses for taxpayers, consumers or both.
A good example of the latter is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) itself, which runs the Ontario government liquor stores.
In 2011, Ontario's provincial auditor general, Jim McCarter, expressed amazement at how the LCBO doesn't drive a tougher bargain with suppliers and demand cheaper wholesale prices. As McCarter told the Toronto Star, "A Walmart would certainly go back to their supplier and say: 'Would you sell it to us cheaper?'"
That lack of attention to cutting deals for consumer is unsurprising. When state-owned businesses are sheltered from true competition, they face no pressure to offer competitive prices since the consumers have no other option but to buy from their stores.
There are many reasons why Ontarians shouldn't buy the myths about liquor store privatization.
One fable is that if Ontario privatized liquor stores, the provincial treasury would lose billions in revenue. The LCBO regularly touts how it transfers $1.6 billion to the provincial treasury. In public interviews, its communications staff hint that such revenue would be at risk if the LCBO was shuttered.
That's false. A government can keep the liquor mark-up without owning retail stores.
This is exactly what occurred in Alberta. After Alberta privatized every single government liquor store by the spring of 1994, Alberta's government kept the mark-up (sales tax) in place. In total, between privatization and the end of this budget year, Alberta's treasury will have reaped $10.5 billion in such markups, including an estimated $700 million this year.
Another myth about government liquor stores is that they will have better selection than private retailers.
Actually, whether government or private, individual store selection will of course vary. But in terms of overall provincial selection, in Alberta, product selection has exploded since privatization.
There are now more than 18,200 varieties of beer, wine and spirits available in Alberta. That compares to just 2,200 products before privatization.
Competition has also increased in Alberta. Just prior to privatization, Alberta had 208 government liquor stores and 65 private retailers.
Nineteen years later, Alberta has 1,313 private liquor stores and another 93 general merchandise stores that can carry alcohol beverages (usually in small towns). All those stores can import whatever they want through a wholesaler (no government bureaucrats need approve) and all set their own prices.
On prices across Canada, they fluctuate widely depending on a province's mark-ups and taxes on alcohol. However, when I compared Alberta to British Columbia in a 2002 study, and subtracted taxes and markups in both provinces, Alberta's system was far better for consumers on price and selection.
I have seen more recent studies that try and argue Alberta has high prices. But such surveys invariably ignore Alberta's big box stores and their cut-rate prices.
Critically, those big-box liquor stores guarantee no retailer or wholesaler—say unlike the LCBO's approach—can have fat margins. Competition in Alberta is too intense. That's great for consumers.
There's another myth circulated by anti-competition, anti-private liquor store opponents: that private retailing of beer, wine and spirits will lead to more alcohol abuse or to more crime.
That is incorrect. A 2009 study by the Frontier Centre compared Saskatchewan (dominated by government liquor stores) and Alberta. It found no link between private retail stores and an increase in crime, based on two reports from Calgary Police Services.
That Frontier Centre study also found that the number of drinkers increased faster in Saskatchewan and Quebec (up 5.2 per cent and nearly 10 per cent respectively) between 1994 and 2004, when compared with Alberta (up by 3.1 per cent).
In Alberta, the prohibition on beer, wine and spirits began in 1916 courtesy of a referendum but that was reversed in 1924. That year, the first government liquor stores were created.
Seventy years later, Albertans returned the province to the state it was pre-1916, where private liquor stores were the norm.
Alberta's liquor privatization has made consumers better off through lower prices, convenience because of a vastly higher numbers of stores—and in dramatic contrast to Ontario, a larger selection. Also, social problems and crime are no worse. But in Ontario, and weirdly for a province where many people likely despise Prohibition-era prudishness, the approach to selling booze, wine and spirits is still that of circa 1924.

Samantha Randolph – Beyond the Bleach
As an antsy teenager who hated sitting at a desk all day, Sam opted to attend cosmetology school through her high school way back in 2001. Starting as a shampoo girl at a local salon after school with a work permit as a 14 year old only allowed to work a few hours a week. Sam was able to get a jumpstart on her career by graduating high school as a licensed professional. Mentoring, managing, and training stylist brand new to the industry by the young age of 18 really put her career into overdrive. After 10 years at one of Pittsburgh's local hair salons, Philip Pelusi, Samantha had celebrated number one stylist for sales and retail in competition with over 200 stylist. It was time for a change and more creative freedom so she took a job in the city with hope to grow her career. Back at the bottom Samantha assisted again as if she was days out of school until she was able to slowly establish herself in a new area. By 2015 she and her husband welcomed a son into the world and it was time for another change. This time looking for a small salon with a lot of social media usage, education opportunities, and flexibility with her schedule. In 2018 Samantha moved into salon manager position learning all of the ins and outs of the industry. Just a few months before the March 2019 Covid shut downs Samantha had made the decision with the salon owner she was working for to take over the space. Through the global shut down she worked away behind the scenes creating Beyond The Bleach. Opening the doors in June of 2020 with a full staff and plans to develop a super team lead to some disappointments. Unfortunately the pandemic had chewed up the industry and spit it put and everything was haywire. By September of 2021 Samantha decided she was burnt out on mentoring 1 on 1 for years and turned the salon into a studio for herself. Currently operating by herself Samantha says you never know where you will end up but right now spending time to grow myself is most important.
"for the first time in 18 years its just me focusing on my client and giving them the experience they deserve. I love educating and I think I will always have my hands in education but right now is about me and what is best for me."

"Washing salad might in fact be riskier than not washing it"
Most people give a bagged salad a quick rinse with tap water before they eat it, just to get rid of pesticides or bugs. But according to new research, washing a salad might be making you more likely to get ill, not less.
The Istituto Superiore di Sanità, the research arm of the Italian National Health Service, had researcher Dr Elisabetta Delibato deliberately spike lettuce with both salmonella and Yersinia enterocolitica – a bacteria that attacks the gut and can cause sepsis. The lettuce was then kept in a fridge at 4oC for a week and washed in both tap water and water containing chlorine.
Dr Delibato found the washing does nothing to eradicate the bacteria. "The recent knowledge about vegetables, as a vehicle of foodborne illnesses, has led to increase the research on the persistence of different pathogenic microorganisms on leafy green vegetables. In this work we have demonstrated that salmonella and Y. enterocolitica could survive in fresh produce for all their shelf life without any substantial reduction of their microbial loads.
However, there is currently no safer way to wash salad in a domestic kitchen. So despite this, the researchers still advise consumers to give their salad an extremely thorough wash (not just a quick rinse under the tap).


Triceratops. The horns are too long and straight, and the back leg is absurdly stocky. But deep in my heart, this is still what I believe Triceratops looked like. Or at least, what it should have looked like.

They voted 65/35 against last time. Something like 236,000 other EU citizens in Scotland. So 153,000 No voters abd 83,000 Yes voters. Either we get all of those 153,000 this time or none of them vote leaving us better off by a net 70,000 over last time. Fairly backwards looking analysis obviously.
Or disenfranchised. Either way is a net gain for Yes.
Yeah, think their 34% never figure is reasonably accurate to be fair to them. Probably in line with the British Not Scottish Census answer. I've honestly never seen the point of splitting the referendum timing question up, other than for mischief. If you want a referendum, then even if you think the timing is wrong, you'll still bloody vote in it. Indeed, I'd go further and suggest that asking people if they want a referendum at all is pointless. Ask people if they want a GE tomorrow and they'd likely balk at it, yet they'd still vote in it. Folk in the UK are fairly disengaged from politics. They want someone, somewhere to be doing something about "it" but they don't want to be bothered at all by the process. Cynically I think that the only reason authoritarianism wouldn't or hasn't worked is that it suppresses criticism and free speech. I suspect that so long as you let people complain about the person in charge they honestly wouldn't care that it was always the same person in charge.... And yeah, standard SIU tactics regarding the polling question. Wings asked a similarly non standard question last month and produced a 53% in favour of independence.
It's not about "being in a position to select", it's about having a strategy that affords you the outcome you want, and a strategy for a 50%+1 is probably different from that of trying for a 60%+ outcome, for example.
Yeah, but who wants to try and get by with a 50% + 1 result now? There is certainly a minimum result possible but reasonably we would need a bigger margin to put it beyond challenge at the ballot box.
Yup. Albeit EU nationals voted 65/35 against last time, either that number will push 90% Yes next time or they'll be disenfranchised entirely. Either way it's a net gain for Yes of something like 150,000 votes already.
Careful what you wish for: Dunfermline fans down here with the Falkirk fans...... would make match threads between Rovers and the Fife look positively civil and intelligent.
Always have felt thats the natural boundary for asking the question anyway.
Wasn't just the mix up between the two. Chance looked gone after the Morton guy didn't immediately cut the ball back into the middle. Defender in the centre should've covered it but it seemed to pass right behind him. No matter, we'll manage to top it at some point soon.
I think players in higher leagues will be stronger, faster and probably but not necessarily better technically (the lower leagues are full of can't tackle, can't run midfielders who get stuck out wide but have an absolute wand of a foot). The Full time vs. Part time fitness debate I think is not the main thing. Modern Part Timers look after themselves with access to decent facilities. McGlynn's last teams down here weren't fitter because of any full timers we had, but because McGlynn utterly beasted them in the Summer time: Even with out hybrid system we were fitter than a number of better teams once we were up. The main thing about FT vs PT should actually be in terms of organisation and drills. We do fall down on that to a degree: We play pretty enough football that you couldn't really do without a decent appreciation of where everyone is going to be on a pitch and it's a sign of well drilled tidyness, but middle to back we're a disaster. Partly that's personnel: Wedderburn can't run, Benedictus has been making mistakes all season, Crane has been getting worse as the season wore on, Davo is Davo. none of them trust the keeper. Partly it's the aforementioned injuries - not being able to play guys like Vaughan, Duggan and Hendry (let alone guys we've sold over the last two seasons like Cal and Armstrong) means more pressure on the backline as we don't hold the ball well enough further up the pitch. I do think McGlynn has made mistakes, some aren't new - a predilection for sticking with guys even though their match form alone wouldn't recommend them for a game - Benedictus above all this season, but also thinking back to him shoehorning Campbell into a defence in 2010/11 that was perfectly settled and one of the stingiest in Europe. Aye, he's conservative with youth and always has been - then again I don't think Watson is the best example as he's looked out of his depth in most games he's played. He has given game time to Jack Smith and Bowie though. As for Barjonas I'd only disagree to the extant that 'bang average' is doing the lad a favour, but we needed the body in and we don't know how the loan arrangements work: Celtic were certainly pissed that Hendry came in and sat on the bench for a couple of months under Smith. Flanagan does look like an example of rushing in without taking time to assess him properly but then again would he have done that now? Bear in mind Flanagan was on a 6 month contract, Armstong on a 3 month contract and the window was looming.... Commercially they've been trialling buying tickets on line which is a start. Starks is not well suited to getting a big bar in, really anywhere in the current facilities. Not sure what we'd do with that. The lack of even any boozer, let alone one the club owns next to the ground is a major downer for your match day experience if your out for the day. As long shot as it seems, we still get another go at promotion. So it's not all doom and gloom yet.
Injuries have played a role though. Firstly, regardless of scoring a good few goals, the simple fact is that having a guy like Vaughan fit adds more creativity to the team, gives you a willing outball which will reduce pressure on the midfield and defence and yes, will also score many more goals. Being able to take off a striker or midfielder and replace them with another fit body would also help us in cutting down on mistakes, not to mention the cohesiveness that comes with being able to pick a consistent 11. That doesn't mean it's the sole or even the chief reason for our issues. I have written before and will reiterate here: The board's big mistake was on keeping Smith in the first place and then not trusting him sufficiently to fund a decent team. We ended up with a bunch of guys from the last chance saloon and on top of that couldn't field a specialist senior full back. The team brought in over the summer was woefully unbalanced and lacking in technical ability in key areas. If you don't get the Summer recruitment right, and that goes for the board selection of coaches as much as the coache's selection of players, then your season is fucked from the get go. Coming in 8 games into the season with the window shutting on him, there was a very limited amount that McGlynn could do, and he actually did react to try and shore up our midfield and full back options. Crane has not really put in the performances he did for Alloa last year, but to claim that this is all down to who's coaching the boy is to deny Crane any agency of his own, people have good spells and bad. The board just gone should shoulder some of the blame on where we currently find ourselves. No doubt Sim has made mistakes - recruiting and then keeping Smith would be top of that list. Not sure about the zero commercial sense as they seem to have done wonders on trying to reign in costs and find new avenues of revenue. It's on the footballing side they've been naive. I don't particularly care if we're part time or not, it's not some terrible stigma, it's just a decision we'll need to make. We've been there before and did fine if that's what it eventually comes down to.

Black Bush triple murder- Wife's ex-lover in custody
By Editor On Jul 26, 2016 Last updated Jul 26, 2016
By Malisa Playter Harry
As investigations into the triple murder which occurred at Kookrit Creek, savannah, Black Bush Polder, investigators attached to 'B' Division have concluded that seven persons in custody played a part in the senseless killing of the teenager and the two men, however, they are yet to determine who pulled the trigger.
Ranks of 'B' Division during a meeting with relatives of the deceased
Divisional Commander, Ian Amsterdam during a press briefing on Monday, outlined that investigators have been following some leads that may eventually crack the case sooner than expected.
"We are learning that a number of persons played some role, not the actual killing, however, " the Commander said. However, he indicated that there are no actual suspects as it relates to who would have pulled the trigger.
Naresh Rooplall, Jaikarran Chandradai and Pawan Chandradai
The bodies of 33-year-old Naresh Rooplall, 37-year-old Pawan Chandradai aka Suresh and his 15-year-old son, Jaikarran Chandradai aka Kevin were discovered on Friday morning, each bearing one gunshot wound.
Investigations have revealed that one person in custody; a man who works with the owner of the land where the bodies were found; who goes by the name of 'Francis' previously shared a relationship with Pawan Chandradai's wife.
News Room understands that 'Francis' works on the land and lives at the camp located a short distance from where the bodies were discovered. It was also revealed that 'Francis' is the person who invited the trio to go fishing.
The Commander also said, "so I don't know if he would have lured them to the point there and knowing that Mr. King don't like anybody in his rice field catching fish, he could have called him."
"He apparently was with them a certain point, he was with them and he is saying that he left them due to the mosquitoes and went somewhere out to the Koker" he added. He noted that investigators are hoping that 'Francis' can provide more information on what took place on Friday.
Meanwhile, a Post-Mortem that was conducted on Monday revealed that 15-year-old Jaikarran Chandradai and Naresh Rooplall both died of shock and haemorrhage due to a gunshot wound whilst Pawan Chandradai died of a fractured skull, lacerations to the brain and shock and haemorrhage.
The weapon used to commit the murder has not yet been recovered. The Commander stated that all persons in custody were swabbed for gunpowder residue.
Investigations reveal that none of the persons in custody are licensed firearm holders.
The funeral for Jaikarran Chandradai, Pawan Chandradai and Naresh Rooplall is expected to take place on Wednesday 27th July 2016.

This information appeared as an article in the AGLBIC National Newsletter, written by Frank Hrabe and Glenda Elliott, August 23, 2005.
For at least the last decade, individual members of the Alabama Counseling Association (ALCA) have presented content sessions at the annual fall conference on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) issues. There were also informal networks of members who were sensitive to these issues.
During 2004, under the Presidency of Michael Lebeau, the focus of the Current Issues Committee was gay, lesbian and bisexual concerns. This was part of the 2004 theme of "The Counselor as a Leader: Courage – Compassion – Character." Dr. Glenda Elliott served as chair of the committee and solicited membership. Over sixty people became regular members of the list serve of the current issues committee. Considerable support for the efforts of the Committee came from members of ALACES and ALMHCA. The committee began work encouraging members to submit program proposals for the fall conference, and was successful with 10 of the 75 content sessions devoted to sexual minority topics.
Articles about the work of the Committee were written by Dr. Elliott and published in all issues of the 2004-05 ALCA newsletter, The Quarterly, along with an article for the winter issue of the ALSCA newsletter. An article was also written by Dr. Elliott on "GLBT Issues in Counselor Education and Supervision" for the winter issue of the ALACES newsletter.
At the 2005 winter meeting of the ALCA executive council, as part of the report of the Committee on Current Issues, a motion was made and passed to establish a Gay, Lesbian Bisexual Issues in Counseling Interest Section. Under the bylaws of the State Association, an Interest Section is the first step toward formal recognition. Interest Sections are formed when at least 50 professional and regular members of ALCA sign a petition seeking recognition. An interest section may conduct business and meet during the fall conference. Also an interest section has non-voting representation on the ALCA Executive Council.
The section began work immediately holding several planning meeting during the spring. A formal governance structure was approved, bylaws written by Frank Hrabe also received approval, and fundraising activities began. Dr. Glenda Elliott and Frank Hrabe were selected co-chairs of the interest section. Also the section decided to seek formal division status during the summer Executive Council meeting of ALCA.
During this period of activity, the GLBIC Interest Section began to gather resources to assist the membership of the Alabama Counseling Association. Lists of publications, website resources, and individuals willing to speak on GLBT related subjects were developed. Almost immediately, requests for speakers and counselors familiar with GLBT issues were received. The interest section was able assist in numerous ways: providing contact information and making referrals for counselors sensitive to the issue in the geographic area; making presentations to professional groups, schools, and university classes; and, in many cases, directing counselors to resource materials. Requests were also received from community agencies, including the Jefferson County Family Court, the Crisis Center, and the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
During this same period, on behalf of the Interest Section, Frank Hrabe petitioned the Association for Gay Lesbian & Bisexual Issues in Counseling (AGLBIC) of the American Counseling Association for official recognition as a division of AGLBIC. This petition will be considered at the fall meeting of the AGLBIC Board of Directors.
A full slate of officers was elected to AGLBICAL, with Donna Melder becoming the first president of the division. The officers not only assumed the position with approval of the division status, but immediately became active taking part in the fall conference program selection process and the awards process for ALCA.

With the Queen's Cup coming up fast we take a look at some of those power combos which are sure to be earning you big points when the first of the UK high goal tournaments gets underway. Although Fantasy points are earned on an individual basis, players often shine best when paired with another player who helps them to increase their point scoring opportunities.
Today we focus on the power pair that is the Pieres brothers. Gonzalo and Facundo Pieres are well known for their sibling symbiosis and their brotherly connection that allows them to dominate the field and create power polo plays left, right and centre.
In last year's Queen's Cup it was Gonzalo who came out as the FP number 1 with a huge 189.75 points despite playing 1 match fewer than the finalists (Dubai and La Indiana) and the sub finalists (Sifani and HB). Having had a somewhat lacklustre US season in terms of Fantasy points (he scored just 74.5 points throughout the US Open), it is clear that Gonzalo thrives in his position of complimenting forward running Facundo, rather than the more defensive brother Nico with whom he played in the US. Having a teammate to compliment him means Gonzalo comes in to his own as a fantasy contender rather than taking a slightly back seat to his more attacking brother.
With the handicap structure of King Power, this partnership will be key to their success and although all eyes are normally on superstar Facundo, we look to his brother Gonzalo to be raking in the points.

Obituary for Arlene E. Teut
Arlene Eleonora Teut was born on May 11, 1921, the daughter of John and Emma (Schoenfeld) Christiansen. ξShe was born on the family farm in Crawford County, Soldier Township. ξShe was baptized, confirmed and married at Immanuel Lutheran Church - Soldier Township. Arlene attended country school at Soldier #3, parochial school at Immanuel Lutheran Church - Soldier Township, and graduated with the class of 1940 from Mapleton High School. On December 14, 1941, Arlene and Herbert Teut were married; they were blessed with the birth of four children, Judith, Gary, David, and Nancy. ξThey farmed in Soldier Township north of Ricketts prior to retiring and moving to Mapleton in 1975. Arlene and Herb were charter members of St. Luke Lutheran Church in Ricketts. ξAfter moving to Mapleton, they joined St. Matthew Lutheran Church. ξArlene was a strong Christian woman and very active in the church that she attended. ξShe served as a Sunday School and Confirmation teacher, participated in Bible studies, and was a very active member of the Ladies Aid Society and the Lutheran Woman's Mission League, serving in many capacities, including district offices. Her passions in her life were her Lord, her family and her friends. ξShe especially enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and working in her garden and flower beds. ξShe had a strong interest in genealogy and collected a great deal of information about the Schoenfeld, Christiansen, Wiedemann, and Teut families. Arlene was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Herbert, daughter Judith Glover, grandson Jason Teut, and sisters Evelyn Teut and Betty Weifenbach. Left to cherish her memory are her sons, Gary Teut (Kandi) of Schleswig and David Teut of Brainerd, Minnesota; daughter Nancy Bielenberg of Schleswig; son-in-law Fred Glover of South Sioux City, Nebraska; 9 grandchildren; 6 great grandchildren; her sister Marilyn Neddermeyer (Herman) of Ute; and brother-in-law Gilbert Nihsen of Charter Oak.

Der Marstall in Leipzig (auch des Raths Marstall oder Städtischer Marstall) war eine historische Einrichtung des Rates der Stadt zur Wahrnehmung kommunaler Transportaufgaben und Dienstleistungen. Im Marstall befanden sich die notwendigen Pferde, Wagen und Gerätschaften.

Lage und Gestalt
Der Marstall befand sich von 1575 bis 1867 am südlichen Ende des Neumarkts (bis 1839 Neuer Neumarkt) Ecke Peterskirchhof. Das Anwesen war ein Vierseithof mit Toreinfahrten von  beiden angrenzenden Straßen. Entlang des Neumarkts erstreckte sich ein auch zu Wohnzwecken dienender zweigeschossiger Bau mit einem Renaissance-Zwerchgiebel über der Toreinfahrt. Zur Straße hatte er weitere Türen, und im Hof führte eine überdachte Außentreppe zum Obergeschoss. Das Satteldach trug zahlreiche Schleppgauben. Der Flügel längs des Peterskirchhofs war ein Geschoss höher und besaß ein Mansardwalmdach.

Johann Jakob Vogel beschreibt in seinem Leipzigischen Geschicht-Buch von 1756 den Marstall so:
Zun gemeinen Gebäuden gehöret auch das grosse steinerne Gebäude auf dem Neumarckt / welches Der Marstall heisset / darinnen E. E. RathsPferde / sammt denen zugehörigen Zeug und Wagen gehalten werden.

Geschichte
Bevor er seinen Platz am Neumarkt einnahm, befand sich der städtische Marstall auf einem Grundstück an der Ostseite der Ritterstraße. Diese Lage wurde für 1426 erwähnt. Als zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts eine Reform der Leipziger Universität erfolgte, ordnete 1502 Herzog Georg den Bau eines neuen Gebäudes für die Artistenfakultät an, und zwar zwischen Kleinem und Großem Fürstenkolleg, der bisherigen Lage des Marstalls. Später wurde daraus das Rote Kolleg. Die Stadt erhielt für den Platz in der Ritterstraße im Gegenzug ein Grundstück am Südende des Neuen Neumarkts. Die Fertigstellung des Marstalls an dieser Stelle erfolgte allerdings erst 1575.

Der Marstall als Einrichtung hatte zahlreiche Aufgaben zu erfüllen. Zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde begonnen, den bisher offen über die Straßen abfließenden "Unflat" in Kanälen unter der Straße in den Pleißemühlgraben abzuleiten. Die Wartung und Reinigung dieses Kanalsystems oblag dem städtischen Marstall. Um 1800 war in Leipzig vorgeschrieben, die Straße mittwochs und sonnabends zu kehren und den "Koth in Haufen zu werfen, der dann durch 12 einspännige Karren (des Marstalls) zu bestimmten einbezirkten Plätzen außerhalb der Stadt gefahren wird"; der Marstall war also als Vorläufer der Stadtreinigung.

Im Zuge der Bautätigkeit in der Leipziger Innenstadt in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde das Gebäude des Marstalls 1867 abgerissen und das Gelände parzelliert. Es entstanden Wohn- und Geschäftshäuser, von denen einige 1912 für die Errichtung des Kaufhauses Althoff wieder abgetragen wurden.

Most Americans in Weed-Legal States Do Not Regret Voting in Favor of Legalization
If you feel good about buying legal weed in your state, you are not alone — in fact, you're among the majority of fellow citizens. Further, the longer that weed has been legal where you live, it's likely you feel even happier about it.
According to a new study published in the journal Addictive Behaviors, most residents in weed-legal states hold a "positive perception" of the commercial cannabis trade. Respondents also said they're happy to patronize legal pot business over having to rely on illicit dealers.
The study further concluded that these good feelings held especially true in places where pot has been legal the longest.
To gather the data, researchers from the University of Waterloo, School of Public Health surveyed 5,530 adults presently living in the weed-legal states of Alaska, California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.
"The current findings suggest generally positive perceptions of the legal cannabis market," the study states. "Most respondents, including frequent cannabis consumers, perceived legal cannabis to be of equal or greater quality and convenience, and safer to buy and use than cannabis from illegal sources."
Higher prices for legal weed came up as a concern, but even a majority of those who mentioned price acknowledged that consumer costs usually drop once the market has time to develop.
"This data once again affirms that most voters do not experience 'buyer's remorse' following marijuana legalization," NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said in a statement. "In the minds of most Americans, these laws are operating as voters intended and in a manner that is consistent with their expectations."
Armentano pointed out, as well, that no state that has legalized cannabis has ever repealed its decision to do so.
We can now add this study to the ever heightening heap of data clearly indicating that the people want legalization and the overwhelming majority of us feel lit AF about it.
In fact, a November 2019 Pew Research study found that two-thirds of all U.S. citizens favor full legalization, with the opposition dropping from 52 percent in 2010 to just 32 percent today.
More recently, a June 2020 Gallup poll determined that 70 percent of U.S. citizens found smoking weed to be morally righteous — and 50 percent of those responding even identified themselves as Republicans. Now that is progress.
Look, Uncle Sam: The public has spoken. We just want to light up in peace and not get in trouble for it. So, it's time for our lawmakers to get with the program and entirely legalize weed ASAP.

Q: How to print each element of a list of lists in python using the specific elements I am trying to print a list of lists in python using for loops.  I am having  issues doing so.  Ive tried a couple of approaches.  Here is what I have:
for r in range(len(priceChart)-1):
    for c in range(len(priceChart[0])):
        print(priceChart[r][c], end= " ")
    print()

I just want each element of the list of lists to be printed out without the brackets or spaces.  Thanks!
Please note:  I need to use for loops!
Thanks so much!

A: Easiest to use for-each loops:
for l in priceChart:
    for c in l:
        print(c, end= " ")
    print()

If you have to use indexes:
for r in range(len(priceChart)):  # no '- 1' here, range(x) loops from 0 to x-1
    for c in range(len(priceChart[r])):  # use 'r', not 0
        print(priceChart[r][c], end= " ")
    print()
