Why Proteins Clump in Neurodegenerative Disease
News Dec 02, 2020 | Original story from Case Western Reserve University

A team of researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has taken a major step toward understanding the mechanisms involved in the formation of large clumps of tau protein, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease and several other neurodegenerative disorders.
Their findings may help to better understand the pathological process and possibly lead to developing medications to treat such devastating brain diseases.
The study, "Regulatory mechanisms of tau protein fibrillation under the conditions of liquid-liquid phase separation," was published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The senior author of the study is Witold Surewicz, a professor of physiology and biophysics at the School of Medicine. Solomiia Boyko, a graduate student, and Krystyna Surewicz, a senior research associate, co-authored the study, which was supported by the National Institute on Aging.
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the death of nerve cells in the brain, resulting in progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. More than 5 million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer's, and this number is projected to triple by 2050, according to the Alzheimer's Association. There is no cure for this devastating disease.
In Alzheimer's disease, clumps of a tau protein begin to form inside nerve cells in the brain. Brain accumulation of these aggregates are known as "neurofibrillary tangles."
Similar tangles of tau, which spread among nerve cells, are also associated with a host of other neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as "tauopathies." These include Pick's disease, frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy and chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
Recent studies have demonstrated that, like some other proteins, tau can undergo liquid-liquid phase separation, a process resulting in formation of liquid-like droplets containing highly concentrated protein. This phenomenon, similar to how oil and water separate when mixed, is believed to be important for normal functions of cells. However, under certain conditions, this separation within cells may also have pathological consequences.
The new study establishes a critical link between these two phenomena--tau liquid-liquid phase separation and tangle formation--demonstrating that the environment of liquid droplets greatly facilitates aggregation of tau into fibrillar structures similar to those found in the brain of someone with Alzheimer's disease.
The researchers also describe the mechanism by which this liquid-liquid phase separation regulates clumping when different variants of tau protein are present. In particular, the authors show that, because of the unique properties of liquid droplets, the presence of a shorter, slowly aggregating tau variant inhibits clumping of a longer, normally fast aggregating variant, slowing down the overall process of tangle formation.
This novel regulatory mechanism may play a major role in determining the clinical outcome of the disease, as the ratio of these two tau variants in brain varies substantially in different tauopathies.
For example, Alzheimer's disease is usually characterized by an equal proportion of both tau isoforms, whereas fibrillary tangles in progressive supranuclear palsy and Pick's disease consist largely of the longer and shorter variant, respectively.
"While the present results provide exciting new insights into formation of pathological clumps of tau protein," Surewicz said, "our study was limited to experiments with purified proteins in the test tube. The next step is to verify these findings in cell and animal models of the disease."

Scientists have demonstrated a novel personalized neuromodulation approach that – at least in one patient – was able to provide relief from symptoms of severe treatment-resistant depression within minutes.
Jekyll and Hyde Immune Cells Help and Hinder Brain Repair
Researchers from the National Institutes of Health have discovered "Jekyll and Hyde" immune cells in the brain that can cause fatal swelling in the hours after brain injury but ultimately assist in brain repair, suggesting that the timing of brain injury treatments is critical.

The hip-hop nostalgia trap
We should always be wary about nostalgia in any music genre, no matter how many times your mates post songs from their teenage years saying it used to be way better.
Still, the most scene with the biggest love pile-on for the past is hip-hop, with a 'Golden Age' of acts that's been scratched into stone tablets.
From the mid-late 80s to the early 90s, hip-hop went through a period of exponential innovation, which along with house and techno running parallel at the same time, laid the plans for hundreds of underground subgenres as well as the biggest pop artists of the current age.
The brazenly named Gods of Rap tour has rounded up three of hip-hop's most iconic legacy acts for a guilt-free nostalgia trip with an outright ban on trap hi-hats.
Both Public Enemy and De La Soul are Golden Age bullseyes, landing in the late 80s, while Wu-Tang Clan hit the scene like a petrol bomb in 1993 and helped splinter the scene into more hardcore factions.
Gods of Rap is loosely billed as anniversary shows for the three acts' most celebrated albums – Enter the Wu-Tang just turned 25 when the tour was announced, while it's 30 years since Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising.
A debate over the most influential LP between the three could go on all week, with each one socially conscious in diverse ways – from Public Enemy's militant political, confrontational sloganeering and De La Soul's jazzy, soulful positivity, to Wu-Tang's violent street reportage infused with a surreal kung fu mythology that portrayed Staten Island as the Slums of Shaolin. Just last week, the New York borough paid it back by renaming a Staten corner Wu-Tang District.
To tie it all together, one of the all-time greats, DJ Premier is the host and MC, spinning between acts – more than likely dropping cuts from his own productions with Nas, Gang Starr, Large Professor and many more.
Even if you're a disciple of one or all of the above, avoid the typical old skool vs new arguments by appreciating the timeline of an ever-evolving artform. Hear De La Soul's jazz flavours and social justice rallying explored deeper in Kendrick Lamar's landmark albums; Enjoy PE-style fist-up militancy and collage noise production in the likes of Clipping and ho99o9, or Wu-Tang's dusty, stark boom-bap minimalism from Joey Bada$$.
The unashamedly lofty Gods of Rap tag suggests an immortal vibe descending on the tour, and these legends aren't leaving the building yet.
Gods of Rap lands at 3Arena in Dublin tomorrow (Monday)

JTB Investigates Britons Holiday Spending Power
Britons are celebrating the welcome return of the sunshine by making holiday plans, with consumers intending to spend an average of £632 each over the next three months on a combination of long haul, city, short breaks and last-minute holidays.
ÊIn the quarterly report from the Jamaica Tourist Board, the survey examines in detail how much money people spend on travel abroad.
Visiting family and friends:
Coming top was a trip to visit family and friends, with 45% of people intending on spending £90.74 each on visiting in-laws over the next three months.ÊPeople in their 20s and 30s will be spending the most on their family visits (£106 each).
People in the South East region will spend more than any other region in the UK on travel to visit their friends and family, intending on spending and average of £176 each over the next three months.
Main holiday:
37% of people are intending on spending an average of £277.47 each on their main holiday of the year in the next three months.Ê People in the 40- 50 age group will be travelling (47%) and spending the most over the next three months (£386.29).
People living in the North East region are the UK's biggest spenders when it comes to splashing out on their main annual holiday - intending on spending £523 each over the next three months, compared with the Eastern region where people will be spending the least on their main holiday (£107 each).Ê
Long-haul trip:
Of the 16% of people planning a long-haul trip in the next three months, the average spend will be £121.50.
People in the South East are the most adventurous region, intending on spending more than any other region on long haul trips (£215 each).
Last minute:
People will spend an average of £128 every 3 months on last minute holidays andÊ£69.02 on city and short breaks. People in their 40s are the biggest spenders, intending on spending £101.63 each on last minute holidays over the next three months.
People in the North East are the biggest spenders on last minute and city breaks, spending an average of £176 each over the next three months.
Elizabeth Fox, spokesperson for the Jamaica Tourist Board, commented:
"It's understandable that after the winter months, people are keen to plan their holidays and take a break from the routine. When the sun is out, people are noticeably happier and are perhaps more likely to return from their breaks with a positive attitude.
With an average of eight hours of sunshine a day, Jamaica is the perfect destination for travellers and offers a diverse selection of accommodation and attractions that will appeal to everyone - from families with children to young people wanting to explore the beauty of Jamaica. "Ê

The neighborhood of Lavapies is outlined with the street Atocha to the East, the roundabout of Valencia to the south, Embajadores Street to the west and Magdalena Street to the north. The center being Plaza de Lavapiés (where the exit for Lavapies Metro is located).
During Madrid's inception, Lavapies was Madrid's most popular neighborhood. Though in the first half of the 20th century the neighborhood had fallen into decline and it was not until the 80's and 90's when the area became inhabited by artists and a youthful counterculture. From there it began a process of renewal that continues today and with this new found interest and appeal the area has started to regain some of it former glory. The neighborhood has a high imagrant population and is one of Madrid's most culturally diverse neighbourhoods with a uniqually alternative and bohemian character. In Lavapies there are a multitude of bars, cafes, restaurants and stores that reflect its multicultural character. There are many affordable restaurants and an extensive range of ethnic food - India, Pakistani, Cuban, Argentina, Chinese... In the neighborhood, especially in the part close to the Museum Reina Sofía, there are several important art galleries.
In the central and cosmopolitan neighborhood of Antón Martin you will find a pedestrian zone that is next to a traditional market from which you can experience Madrid as a local, this is located next to the Film Library so you can also enjoy a good movie.

Adolf Fredrik Church: Original 18th-Century Facade and a Long History
Adolf Fredrik Church was completed between 1768 and 1774
The cemetery surrounding the church was established in 1638
The exterior of the church is essentially original
In the interior, there are many historical artefacts to admire
A place that had stood in the location long before the arrival of the rush of the modern city. A place that has not only witnessed plentiful changes happening all around but also experienced major changes itself. All of this and much more, that is the Adolf Fredrik Church (Adolf Fredriks kyrka) in Stockholm.
The story begins in 1638 when a cemetery was established on the parcel west of Sveavägen, one of the modern-day main streets of Stockholm, by the Klara Parish. Unlike other cemeteries, this one stood at the edge of the city and as such was a place where only the poor would be buried.
Thirty-five years later, the parish realised that the place had more potential. If nothing else, it could help them improve their bottom line. By building a simple wooden chapel, they were able to perform burial services indoors and sell graves for profit.
St. Olof's Chapel (S:t Olofs kapell), as it used to be called, stood in the cemetery for about a century. However, its purpose has changed during its lifetime. As the parish and its population grew, services started to be performed there for a certain part of Stockholmers in the late 1600s.
As it was usually the case with old wooden chapels, the capacity of the St. Olof's Chapel was slowly becoming insufficient. Therefore, the authorities decided to replace it with a church.
Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz was tasked with designing the church. Adelcrantz is known for several of his works in and around Stockholm. Among them, the Norrbro bridge, the Chinese Pavilion as well as the theatre at Drottningholm, and the palace carrying his name located in Norrmalm.
One of the things Adelcrantz needed to keep in mind was the fact that the existing chapel was required to be functional until the church was completed. He designed a central plan church where the eastern and western cross arms were slightly longer than the other two.
It was King Adolf Frederick (Adolf Fredrik) who laid the foundation stone at a great ceremony in 1768. Afterwards, the construction took off but not for long. Around a year after it had started, the works were halted due to financial difficulties.
It was mainly thanks to the parish being given a part of customs duties received from importers of coffee that the construction was resumed a couple of years later. The same year, in 1773, the Adolf Fredrik Parish was officially established, too.
King Gustav III was the one who inaugurated the church named after his predecessor in 1774 although, at that point, the roof was not quite complete. It is also noteworthy that the church had no tower at the time of the inauguration.
This was added only in 1783 together with the copper roof at the remaining parts of the church after a decision to do so had been made some seven years earlier. In contrast with the rest of the building, which is made of brick, the tower has wooden construction.
Following the completion of the Adolf Fredrik Church, changes have been made mostly to its interior. First, the floor was altered in parts of the building. Then, in the 1860s, a set of more important modifications took place.
Brand new benches replaced the original ones, a new painting appeared over the altarpiece, and vaults and other rooms received stucco décor. The cupola was painted with biblical motives a few decades later and eventually, in the mid-1900s, most of the stucco décor was removed again.
From the outside, it is interesting to notice that all cross arms except the eastern one, where the chancel and sacristy reside, have their own entrances. Though you would find the main one on the west, surrounded by ionic columns.
At Adolf Fredrik Church, you also get a chance to admire a collection of historical clocks. In total, there are five of them, three of which come from 1674 and the remaining two are from 1727 and 1814 respectively.
Something to keep in mind when standing in the cemetery surrounding the church or passing by one of the streets in its neighbourhood is that the exterior of the church is essentially original.
Very few changes have been made to the façade since the tower topped with a lantern with a gilded spire was completed back in 1783.
Neither the columns dividing the façade nor the arched iron windows between them have been altered significantly.
Once you enter the elegant church, you will find yourself surrounded by historical artefacts. Several medieval objects are complemented by a wine bottle from the 1680s, a number of wine flagons from the 1760s, and numerous items preserved from the St. Olof's Chapel.
Moreover, a monument of Cartesius (René Descartes) made by artist Tobias Sergel awaits you in the southern cross arm. Descartes has historical connections to the place and is said to have been originally buried at the local cemetery after he died in Stockholm, where he lived as the queen's guest, under somewhat unclear circumstances.
The complete transformation of the cemetery is also documented by the fact that several important Swedish figures have been buried there over the years. For instance, the former prime ministers Olof Palme and Hjalmar Branting, and the aforementioned artist, Tobias Sergel.

Part 1 of this article some of the characteristics of hurricanes and the damage they can cause. In the days before high tech weather forecasting, well organized emergency services, and mandatory evacuation, major hurricanes resulted in death tolls in the hundreds, if not thousands.
Most deaths, much property damage, and significant financial loss are all preventable with sensible forward planning and early action. Let's have a look at how you can protect yourself, your family, and your property if a hurricane crosses the coast in your area.
This page will tell you more about Hurricanes.
The North American hurricane season starts on June 1st, reaches a peak in August and September, and fades out over the next two months. This doesn't mean that major hurricanes won't occur before or after the peak - July 2005 set new records for early hurricanes.
Unlike a tornado, a hurricane can be monitored and tracked for some time before its final landfall or decay. If you are a resident or visitor in a target area you will normally have considerable warning of hurricane's approach, and time to safeguard your home or prepare for evacuation.
Insuring your house and property to the maximum extent possible. An up to date inventory of your possessions is a smart move.
Storing important documents and valuable possessions in a secure place away from your home.
Checking with your local emergency co-ordinators on the risk of storm surges and flooding, and assessing your risks of damage from strong winds.
Preparing for evacuation if you live in a high risk coastal area. Familiarize yourself with evacuation routes, and put together an emergency kit which you can grab at short notice if you need to leave.
Owning a battery operated Weather Radio. This will provide you with warnings about the storm's location and time and location of landfall, and will also advise when the crisis has passed.
Considering strengthening your roof against lifting by severe winds - options include roof strapping or extra clips.
You may also consider reinforcing an internal room as a safe room, a practice recommended for tornado prone areas. A bathroom on the lower level of your house may be ideal, and would provide last resort protection for you and your family against destructive winds.
Preparing an emergency kit in case you lose power and water during the hurricane. This should contain basic food supplies, water, torches and battery operated radios, a portable bottled gas stove, and anything else that will make life a little more bearable.
Obviously most of the components of your kit will be somewhere around the house, but imagine how much easier it will be if everything you need is in the one place when the lights go out.
Listen out for hurricane watches, warnings and special bulletins on Weather Radio, normal radio and TV. A Hurricane Watch (which also covers slightly less severe tropical storms which can develop into hurricanes) means hurricane conditions are possible in the next 36 hours. Check for updates on radio, TV, or the internet.
A Hurricane Warning means a hurricane is expected within 24 hours.
Secure all outdoor and garden furniture - store in an enclosed area.
Evacuate if advised, or if you are threatened by flooding or storm surges, if you live in a mobile home or high rise, or if you feel unsafe. Leave as soon as you can. Turn off power, gas and water if advised.
If you are staying, assume power and water may be cut. Fill your bathtub and other containers with water, turn your refrigerator to its coldest setting and keep the door closed, and turn off propane gas.
Stay inside. The main dangers are flying debris and downed power lines. Listen to Weather Radio, and don't go outside until the hurricane has passed. If the eye passes over you, a deceptive period of calm will be followed by the return of strong winds and heavy rain.
Secure all doors and windows, close off windows with curtains or blinds, and close all internal doors.
At the peak of the hurricane, go to a safe room on lower floor - lie or crouch under a sturdy table or other piece of strong furniture.
With a little good fortune, these fairly simple precautions should get you through the hurricane safely. You will have done well, and will emerge healthy and fit enough to tackle the inevitable clean up. Good luck.
But always remember that hurricanes are short lived and are only likely to be a threat for a small part of the year. Think of them as an occasional tax to be paid for the benefits of an otherwise pleasant climate.

Translation:Which piece of clothing will you buy?
I don't think "garment" makes sense since no classifier is involved with that word. I just reported "Which article of clothing will you buy?" though, which is still rejected.
'piece of clothing' is grammatically fine but no one would ever say it because we would always refer to the type of clothing being considered. Who ever goes into a shop and says to the assistant, 'I want to buy some clothes'?
Article of clothing is better than piece of clothing.
"Which article of clothing will you buy" was just accepted for me.
Please define "衣服" in English. in some sentence, the answer should be "Clothing", the other is "Clothes".
The importance of "na" intonation!
Which clothing are you going to buy was marked wrong.
It should be. "Which clothes are you going to buy" is okay, but that's not how you use "clothing."
It's trying to make you use an English word for the measure word for clothing -件- even though it's unnecessary in English.
Couldn't this be "Which piece of clothing can you by"?
No, as buying is not considered a skill in general.
In this sentence, 会 refers to the future, which is why it says "are you going to," but in other sentences, yes, 会 can mean "able to."
What clothing do you will buy?
You can't use "do" and "will" together like this.
Is "pieces" not acceptable here?
Arguably no. In Chinese if we talk about pieces of clothes in 1 set we would say 一套衣服, rather than 一件衣服; For pieces of clothes to be worn separately, some clothes 一些衣服. So 哪件衣服 is most likely referring to 1 piece of clothes only.
Who uses 'garments' except for those in the garments industry?
Would the sentence "你会买什么件衣服?" be correct?
Haha, no. But it's creative.
"Which clothing item will you buy?" Why didn't that work?
"Which piece of clothing you are going to buy?" Should also be considered correct. But not accepted.
You can't reverse "you" and "are" like that in a question, it needs to be "...are you..."
In Taiwan, "yīfú" is much more common than "yīfu".
Item still not accepted after all this time. Stupid course.

NJ Woman's Anxiety Helps Spare Her from Jail for Serious Hit-run
Dino Flammia
Dino Flammia Published: February 20, 2020
Brittany Keifer was sentenced to probation for a hit-and-run crash in August 2018.
A woman who slammed a bicycling teenager onto her windshield — and then tried to cover up the crash instead of stopping to help the severely injured girl — avoided going to jail in part because she suffers from anxiety and mental health issues.
Prosecutors had asked a Superior Court judge to lock up Brittany Keifer for up to a year in county jail but the Point Pleasant woman instead got community service, a year's license suspension and probation after suffering what was described as a panic attack in the courtroom.
Her 14-year-old victim suffered traumatic brain injury and spent weeks in the hospital after the late-night crash in August 2018. The girl's mother, angered by the sentence handed down by Judge Wendel E. Daniels, says there doesn't appear to be real consequences for hitting a person with a car and driving away.
The lawyer for Keifer, however, says the judge had a number of good reasons to keep his 27-year-old client out of jail on the third-degree charge of leaving the scene of an accident with serious bodily injury, to which she pleaded guilty.
Thomas Campo said his client voluntarily surrendered her phone to authorities and gave a "full confession." According to Campo, investigating officers said if Keifer had just pulled over at the time of accident, which was "unavoidable," she would not have received a ticket. Emma-Mae Gnolfo was not wearing a helmet, as required by law, while riding across a 40 mph road at 10:30 at night, he said.
Keifer turned herself in a day after she hit Emma-Mae with her BMW on Route 88. Keifer had fled the scene in an attempt to hide her vehicle and her role in the accident.
Emma-Mae spent weeks in hospital care for a concussion, brain bleeding and a fractured skull.
"We pray that the worst is over and when she's older the brain trauma doesn't lead to something so much worse," Stephanie Gnolfo, Emma-Mae's mom, told New Jersey 101.5 on Thursday.
Gnolfo said that since the accident, her daughter "struggles every day" with anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. It feels like any emotional progress made in the several months since the incident was wiped away by a sentence far less severe than her family had hoped for, she said.

"I really thought that us reading our letters to the judge ... Emma standing up there, that it would have had some kind of impact, but we were very disappointed," Gnolfo said. "The minute Brittany started having this quote-unquote anxiety attack in the courtroom, I knew it wasn't going to be jail time."
Keifer's attorney confirmed that his client had an "anxiety/panic attack" during the sentencing. Balancing a number of aggravating and mitigating factors, the judge "found it was in the interest of justice" to not incarcerate his client, Campo said.
Gnolfo and her attorney said that the defendant's mental health was a major part of the sentencing.
"They talked a lot about anxiety and depression, but anxiety and depression doesn't cause someone to choose to leave a child on the side of the road after you hit that child," said Deborah Dunn, an attorney representing the Gnolfo family. "That's the act of a selfish person with a hardened heart."
"They pulled at the judge's heart strings and made Brittany out to be the victim," Gnolfo added.
According to Gnolfo, the judge was presented a "long list of medications" that Keifer is or had been taking, and was told about "bad things that happened in her life."
"I feel like if she was or is taking such heavy medication that maybe she shouldn't have been allowed to be behind the wheel of a vehicle to begin with," Gnolfo said.
Gnolfo is pushing for a new law that would require a mandatory three-year prison term for leaving the scene of an accident resulting in serious bodily injury. The measure, reintroduced in January, is under consideration by the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee.
Gnolfo is contemplating a lawsuit against Keifer on behalf of Emma-Mae.
Campo said his client has been "publicly harassed" on social media. Someone posted Keifer's number online and she received death threats as a result, he said.
"There's been a lot of negative press, but the reality is (Brittany) is a human being who made a very bad choice that day and was well aware of it, and did everything she could in her power to make it right," Campo said. "Perhaps much good can come from the lessons learned in this case. There is no doubt that the operator of a motor vehicle has an obligation to stop when involved in an accident."
After she struck Emma-Mae, Keifer contacted Kyle Ramos, of Seaside Heights, to pick her up several blocks away from the scene, according to police. Ramos assisted Keifer and attempted to have the vehicle repaired, and turned himself in to law enforcement the following day.
Ramos, 29, in December entered a guilty plea to hindering apprehension or prosecution and will be sentenced at a later date.

Biden Finds No Respite at Home after Returning from Europe
"Features"
https://english.aawsat.com/home/article/3558591/biden-finds-no-respite-home-after-returning-europe
President Joe Biden arrives on Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House, early Sunday, March 27, 2022, in Washington, after a four-day trip to Europe. (AP)
With the last nine, unscripted words of an impassioned speech about Russia's aggression in Ukraine, President Joe Biden created a troubling distraction, undermining his effectiveness as he returned home to face restive Americans who strongly disapprove of his performance on issues that matter most to them.
His comment that Russia's Vladimir Putin "cannot remain in power" — an assertion that his aides were forced to quickly clean up — overshadowed his larger message of solidifying the Western coalition that's confronting Moscow.
It punctuated another frustrating moment for an administration that's struggled to regain its footing — and the American electorate's support — in the face of an ongoing pandemic, escalating inflation and an increasingly complicated foreign policy crisis that raises the specter of nuclear conflict.
Although he's forged a united front to punish Russia with sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine, polls show Americans feel no better about his leadership as the bloody war continues. Meanwhile, Democrats are in danger of losing control of Congress in November's midterm elections, leaving Biden with limited opportunities to advance a progressive domestic agenda that remains stalled.
The president is on the verge of securing the confirmation of the first Black woman, Ketanji Brown Jackson, on the US Supreme Court, yet there's no clear path forward for him to fulfill other campaign promises around voting rights, criminal justice reform and fighting climate change. While polls show that Jackson is broadly supported by Americans, it hasn't helped improve Biden's standing with voters less than eight months before the midterms, which Republicans hope to frame as a referendum on the president.
The war in Russia has consumed much of the White House's messaging bandwidth, but Biden is looking to turn the spotlight onto some his domestic priorities this week.
He is expected to unveil a new budget proposal on Monday, which includes a renewed focus on cutting the federal deficit and a populist proposal to increase taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
If approved by Congress — far from a certainty — households worth more than $100 million — a measurement of wealth, not income — would have to pay a minimum tax of 20% on their earnings.
The added revenue could help keep the deficit in check and finance some of Biden's domestic priorities, including expanded safety net programs. There are few if any signs of Republican support for the proposal so far, and even some Democrats have been lukewarm to the idea.
Biden's case isn't helped by his approval ratings. A slim 34% of Americans think Biden is doing a good job handling the economy, which is normally the top issue for voters in an election year, according to a poll released Thursday by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
His contentious assertion about Putin in his Warsaw speech did little to help things. The White House rushed to clarify that Biden wasn't actually calling for "regime change," but by the next day it became clear that the dramatic statement had produced some of the first overt cracks in unity among NATO nations that had just convened in Brussels for an emergency meeting.
Some leading Western European allies, including France and Germany, tend to be more cautious than the US about how to confront Russia. Until Saturday night, Biden had calibrated his words carefully.
French President Emanuel Macron said Biden's remarks could make it harder to resolve the conflict.
"I wouldn't use those terms, because I continue to speak to President Putin, because what do we want to do collectively?" he said. "We want to stop the war that Russia launched in Ukraine, without waging war and without escalation."
In Berlin, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Sunday that neither NATO nor Biden seek regime change in Russia. Asked about Biden's remarks during an appearance on ARD television, Scholz also said Biden had not made a dangerous mistake. "We both agree completely that regime change is not an object and aim of policy that we pursue together," the chancellor said.
Biden has enjoyed some rare bipartisan support for his handling of the Ukraine crisis. But some Republicans who have been generally supportive of his approach to the crisis chided him for his comments.
Sen. James Risch of Idaho, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, dryly noted on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, "Please, Mr. President, stay on script."
Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, told NBC's "Meet the Press" that Biden's final comment "plays into the hands of the Russian propagandists and plays into the hands of Vladimir Putin."
Secretary of State Antony Blinken was forced to continue clarifying Biden's speech during a trip through the Middle East, where he had intended to focus on solidifying American partnerships as the administration seeks a renewed nuclear agreement with Iran.
Speaking at a news conference in Jerusalem, Blinken said Biden meant that "Putin cannot be empowered to wage war or engage in aggression against Ukraine or anyone else."
In case there was any doubt, Biden gave an emphatic "No!" when asked by a reporter outside of church Sunday if he was calling for regime change with the remark.
Even as Biden seemed to go too far for some allies with his speech, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy seemed to draw little comfort from it. He accused Western nations of lacking courage to confront Russia, and he said criticized their "ping-pong about who and how should hand over jets" and other weapons to the Ukrainian military.
The speech in Warsaw was the third, and by far most consequential, of instances from the trip where Biden's aides needed to clean up his comments.
During a news conference in Brussels on Thursday, he said the US would respond "in kind" if Putin used chemical weapons in Ukraine. The next day, national security advisor Jake Sullivan said the president meant that "we'll respond accordingly," not that the US would use chemical weapons of its own.
And then, while speaking to members of the 82nd Airborne Division soldiers recently deployed to Poland, Biden seemed to suggest they would be going to Ukraine. Speaking about the bravery of Ukrainians, Biden said: "Look at how they're stepping up. And you're going to see when you're there."
Afterward, the White House reiterated that Biden had no intention of sending troops into Ukraine, something the president has insisted since the beginning of the conflict.
While running for office two years ago, Biden repeatedly told voters that "the words of a president matter," and he promised that his foreign policy experience would serve the country well on the international stage.
There's little doubt that Biden has been able to maintain unusual unity among allies during this war. But by speaking with more passion than caution — particularly in his speech in Warsaw — Biden has also reminded Americans of his proclivity for misstatements at a precarious time for his presidency.
Just 26% of Americans have faith that Biden can manage a crisis or the military, according to last week's AP-NORC poll. There's also been a mixed response to Biden's approach to Russia. Although Americans have been skeptical of getting involved in another foreign crisis, they've also watched with horror as Putin continues to raze Ukrainian cities despite an array of punishing sanctions.
Only 36% said his approach has been "about right," while 56% said Biden has not been tough enough on Russia.

2008 Board Endorsed Resolutions
When OHALAH was a Branch of ALEPH, the OHALAH Board issued the following Board Statements:
We, caring citizens of the world, sign our names to the resolution below to raise consciousness concerning health care, the global economy and the need to care for the most vulnerable among us.
HEALTH CARE – We applaud governments who provide access to health care for all of their citizens and residents. We beseech countries that do not yet provide health care for all of their citizens and residents to make every effort to do so as soon as humanly possible. This includes providing health care facilities and health care services in such as way as to render them affordable and accessible.
GREEN MARKET ECONOMY – We call your attention to the realities of global economic interdependence. See for example http://www.economywatch.com/market-economy/global-market-economy.html. We call for access to investment opportunities that support socially conscious commodities, such as food grown through healthy and organic means, energies that are environmentally friendly, and products and technologies that do not fund war.
CARING FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US – We applaud the commitments of the world's wealthy nations that help to relieve the indebtedness of poor and developing nations and that provide foreign aid in times of both natural and human disaster. In addition to these efforts, we call for an annual contribution by wealthy nations to a fund that would be monitored by a non-governmental agency with representation from all contributing nations with the purpose of distributing the funds to non-governmental agencies in poor and developing nations and among poor and underserved populations in developing nations to provide basic nutrition, preventative health care and disease control and treatment.
As the calendar turns in each culture and corner of the globe, hope and celebration touch the hearts of those who celebrate. As the calendar turns in your part of the world, please take steps to help make the world a better place for all the inhabitants of the world.

OHALAH 2008 Board Statement Endorsing the Right to MarryMarriage has been a protected human right since time immemorial. The time has come to extend that right to same sex couples. We are inspired by the example of Canada, The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of California that extend the right of marriage to same sex couples. We applaud the leadership of Great Britain, Norway, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, Iceland, France, New Zealand and the States of Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Oregon, Maine, Washington, Hawaii and the District of Columbia that provide support for same sex couples by sanctioning same-sex registered partnerships or civil unions or by providing some form of spousal rights for gay and lesbian couples.
We call upon the people of California to vote in the November election in favor of same sex marriage, which is in danger of being outlawed once again in that state. We call upon Americans who live in other states where same sex marriage will be on the ballot to educate themselves, and to vote against measures that state that marriage is between a man and a woman because that language–although traditionally linguistically correct–denies the human rights of the gay, lesbian and bisexual members of the community.

2008 OHALAH Board Statement Concerngin Kosher Meat by Unkosher MeansTraditional Jewish Law prescribes precise actions and conditions required in order for food to bear a "Kosher" label. Likewise, Jewish Law has precise guidelines for allowed and forbidden actions and conditions for the treatment of workers, including immigrant workers. In situations where Jewish Law regarding the treatment of workers has been violated in the process of their preparing of food for "Kosher" certification, we believe that food must be denied "Kosher" certification.
In The Fire Within, a biography of Rabbi Yisroel Salanter, the book's author, Rabbi Hillel Goldberg, relates that Rabbi Salanter advised his students that when they were preparing matzot for Passover, they should not overwork themselves or make excessive demands of the female workers who were kneading the dough and otherwise preparing for the matzah baking. That same account appears in a Hebrew volume titled Bikkurei Shai, written by a modern Israeli rabbi who has served as Chief Rabbi of Givatayim, Israel. If Chassidim making matzot for their own use and the use of the community must pay attention to worker rights, it is also incumbent upon us to treat immigrants the same under the Torah based halachah of treating the stranger as the home-born.
Reports arising from the May 12, 2008 Department of Homeland Security raid at the AgriProcessors Kosher Meat Packing Plant in Postville, Iowa, establish that there are credible allegations that the owners and management of AgriProcessors committed serious violations of Jewish Law against scores of immigrant workers at the plant including sexual assault and harassment, rape, abuse, and use of child labor.
Under these circumstances and credible allegations, we call upon our fellow clergy who provide Kashruth certification to suspend the certification of "Kosher" meat from AgriProcessors until the truthfulness of these allegations are determined in a proper legal forum where the workers, and the owners and management, have a hearing that complies with the requirements of due process of civil and Jewish laws.
We also call upon our fellow Jews to boycott meat from AgriProcessors until this determination. If these allegations are determined to be true, the "Kosher" decertification and boycott should continue until full t'shuva and tikkun is done by the owners and management of AgriProcessors, including apologies to the workers, full compensation for their injuries, and the implementation of procedures and systems with effective monitoring to ensure that abuse of AgriProcessors workers never occurs again.

2008 Professional Ethics Statement of the OHALAH Board and Ethics CommitteeL'shem yichud kudsha brich hu ushechintey hamekadeshet umevarechet otanu beshalva vavetach. In the name of Oneness, blessed be, and the Shechina who blesses and sanctifies us with equanimity and safety.
There are people all over the world connected with one another through their professions and their faith in one another and in humanity. Doctors, nurses, therapists and others in the healing professions may work shoulder to shoulder to find cures at home and to treat patients on the front lines of disaster relief and human need. Teachers and clergy often reach across divides to help their students and congregants learn about others both at home and abroad.
All of us who work in these professions or enjoy the fruits of those who work in these professions can appreciate the importance of good boundaries to keep us safe and ensure that we and our loved ones are treated fairly.
Policies concerning privacy and confidentiality characterize the rights of students, congregants, patients and clients. The right to be treated fairly and honestly, equitably and respectfully is a right that is available in more and more venues and circumstances as professional standards evolve throughout the world.
OHALAH, the Association of Rabbis for Jewish Renewal, wishes to engage in consciousness-raising among our members and their congregants, constituents and students that one has recourse regarding the professionals in our lives, include the clergy in our lives, and also the professionals who treat us when we are ill and who teach and guide and counsel us and our children.
To this end, we have declared 2009 (5769) "THE YEAR OF PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS." We invite you to share the information in this brief article in your newsletter, on your website and/or as a handout available to those who visit your community or institution.
We invite you to schedule a workshop in your community to better educate yourselves in the professional boundaries extant in the state, region or nation where you live concerning medical treatment, education and the practice of your faith. Learn about the offices and agencies available to respond to questions and receive complaints and concerns. Find ways to make this information available to your constituents both now and in the future.
Like many rabbinic associations and other associations of professionals, OHALAH's governing policies are available to the public. OHALAH policies are on our website at www.ohalah.org/guidelinesohalah.htm, including our policy regarding membership standards and our clergy code regarding sexual and financial ethics.
May the professional standards that affect our lives be stepping-stones to a safer and more equitable future for all.
Keyn yehi ratzon. So may it be.
2008 OHALAH Board Statement Regarding Votes Rights in the United StatesWe urge the federal government and all state governments in the United States of America to be impeccable in ensuring that all registered voters are allowed to vote on November 4, 2008, to reverse any and all improper purging of voters from the voting roles, and any and all improper addition of voters to the voting roles, whether inadvertent or otherwise, and to prosecute all those found to be engaging in vote caging and other activities that would intimidate or otherwise thwart or prevent voters from exercising their right to vote.
"As a rabbinical association, we feel strongly that every voice must be heard in the upcoming election. This is a matter of tikkun olam, the repair of the world," says OHALAH President, Rabbi Yocheved Mintz, citing the Jewish idea that every human being plays a role in creating a more just and peaceful world.
We have been advised that Democratic and Republican Party officials have raised concerns about improper activity that each party alleges have been committed by supporters of the other party, including:
•Improper addition of voters to the voting rolls,
•Improper removal of qualified voters from the voting rolls,
•"Vote caging," by which a political party entraps voters into circumstances that the party then uses to challenge voting status on Election Day,
•Disseminating incorrect information, such as informing voters that they can be arrested at their polling place if their mortgage payments are in arrears or if they have outstanding parking tickets, and
•Other forms of intimidation and thwarting or preventing qualified voters from exercising their right to vote.

For our sixth episode of the Top Ten Morrowind Mods series, we're taking a look at the top ten dungeon mods made for Morrowind (as of 2017). Some of these will certainly be familiar to most of you, given their relative fame, and we've showcased most of them at some point in the past on the channel. As always with these top ten lists, this is based on my own personal preference, and I'm certainly missing a few dungeon mods that are probably worth mentioning, and given that the Morrowind dungeon-modding scene is very nearly evenly split between hand-built and randomly generated dungeons, it must be pointed out that all of the mods in today's top-ten list are hand-built and not randomly generated, so if you prefer that sort of thing you might be disappointed. In any event, feel free to share your own favorite dungeon mods in the comments below!

Morrowind Modding Podcasts aims to introduce a new kind of modding discussion, one never before seen in any modding community, featuring a casual yet intellectual series of podcasts based around a panel of five modders and a particular set of topics covered in each episode. Each podcast will be hosted by Darkelfguy (myself) and feature four modders from around the community, and we're aiming to get a diverse group for each episode, with new modders, popular modders, province modders, and modders from all walks of life contributing to a discussion on the state of modding, their creative practices, and much more in every podcast!
Welcome to the seventeenth episode of Morrowind Modding Interviews, a new podcast-like series interviewing modders from around the community! Have you ever wanted to hear your favorite mod authors answer your questions in a semi-conversational interview setting? Now's your chance!
Feel free to submit questions and suggestions for who to interview at [url=http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1515824-morrowind-modding-interviews-and-morrowind-modding-podcasts/]our forum thread[/url] or [url=https://twitter.com/MMSMods]on twitter[/url].
In this week's interview, we're talking with Trainwiz, the author behind Sotha Sil Expanded, Deus Ex Machina, and the beloved Racer Recursion mod. He's also well known in the Skyrim modding community for Really Useful Dragons, Blackreach Railroad, The Wheels of Lull, and the rather recent Funny Followers. In this interview, we talk about a number of Trainwiz's Morrowind and Skyrim mods, where he got his inspiration, and also talk about the game he's working on, Nanosteam.
Morrowind has been out for over 12 years now, but the Morrowind Modding scene has never truly died down, with many modders continuously uploading new mods all the time. The purpose of this series is to increase the visibility of the mods showcased, to increase the visibility of the Morrowind Modding Community, and to promote discussion of Morrowind mods and help people discover mods they didn't know about before.

London Sales Skewed By One Phone Bidder Again
Sotheby's Auction Site Opens To Mixed Reviews
Photo LA 2000 Venue Bigger, Better
Other Photo News:
London is at it again. Two more recent photographic-related auction sales have seen a lone phone bidder distort results and send prices to dizzying levels that bear no relationship to market values for the items.
After the Jammes sale and the impact of L080 buying three-quarters of the sale by pounds sterling value, some of us in the industry questioned the long-term effects of a dominant player/s on the auction market. Years ago, the Getty Museum determined it would not use its immense funding to distort auction markets--a wise move in my view.
Apparently there are wealthy individuals or organizations that don't share the Getty's philosophy. In November, I heard from a number of disgruntled attendees of Christie's London sale of Magic Lanterns, which was largely bought out by one phone bidder. I thought it was something in the water. But the silliness persists.
In the Christie's South Kensington sale of Photographica on January 27th, which included lower level images as well as equipment, items sold for astounding prices, in some cases 100 times estimates.
In one case, a lot of three daguerreotypes (Lot 16), which had no estimate--usually a sign that the house expected the item to fetch under £200, brought £54,300 or nearly $90,000!
I talked to English dealer Pierre Spake, who, while stunned by the prices, told me that he knew who the underbidder was on this lot and that they were just as capable of buying the lot. "It was just a question of two people with money meeting at the right time with a genuine interest to buy, even if there was no intrinsic value," says Spake.
Frankly, the lot wouldn't bring a thousand dollars in the real world and it wasn't the only aberration. How about £62,000 or over $101,000 for a group of roughly 1500 cdvs that was estimated at £600-800 and was expected to realistically bring about £1500 before the sale? Or £40,000 for 101 albumen prints of Middle Eastern and European albumen prints, also estimated at £600-800? That latter lot seemed to be driven up by an English underbidder in pure frustration over the sale. And the equipment side of the sale was equally skewed. The top lot was a 19th century lens that went for a world record price of £6900 or over $11,000. It was the kind of lens that I use to be able to buy for about $150 about 15 years ago, and today might bring about $1000-2000 but move very slowly. True, the estimate was closer to the price at £2500-3000, but most felt before the sale that the house estimate was "aggressive".
As Spake told me, "It became bloody annoying. If you would have normally bid £2000 on an item, you wound up taking it to £2500, or higher." A lot higher for some bidders.
London dealer Beryl Vosburgh also emailed me that the same thing happened at the earlier November Magic Lantern sale: "After a while when the rhythm had been established, people began to bid way beyond reason in the certainty that the Telephone would top whatever was being ventured."
Vosburgh, who has a shop in London, says she can't blame bidders, who she feels were being used cynically to establish a price. As she puts it with a sense of humor: "One bid above a collector or dealer must be a bargain, right?"
Before the sale it was expected to realize about 100,000 pounds sterling, instead it brought in 246,106 pounds, with many items going for 10 times estimates, most (about 85% by one observer's notes) bought by one anonymous bidder. Tongue-in-cheek, Vosburgh says she suggested those nearest to the phone banks "cut the wires, but they didn't."
Christie's camera specialist Michael Pritchard warns bidders: "Irrespective of the situation, bidders should intend to purchase the items they bid on and they should be fully prepared to pay for them." He notes that the mysterious bidder in the Magic Lantern sale did not buy all the items that were pushed up, leaving people in the room and other phone bidders to pay for their inflated bids.
Pritchard wouldn't confirm that the anonymous bidder was the same in both sales, but I got the impression they were none-the-less. And he used the pronoun "he" when referring to the anonymous bidder in both auctions. He also states he has "no idea whether the individual is prepared to bid again or has satisfied his needs."
Pritchard points to a sale in 1991 when two dominant bidders had a more permanent impact on the spy camera marketplace. He also notes that the sales totals (£248,565 or $406,000 in the morning image-related session and £245,082 or $401,000 in the afternoon equipment-related session) weren't very much in the context of what's happening in other markets, like fine or contemporary art, although he does say, "It seemed a lot in the context of a collectible sale." Pritchard also notes "cameras and optical equipment are very strong at the moment." And, as Pritchard points out, "Interest translates into a strong market, and strong prices and interest at auction effects the whole market, whatever it might be--Le Grays or Underwood stereo cards."
Pritchard says he has a "flood of consignments", but will not change his estimates--at least just yet. Whether or not the anonymous bidder is active again, Pritchard does expect strong bids because of the caliber of the material.
All the anonymous phone bidders get another two shots at Christie's South Kensington in May when there is a Photographs sale (May 5) and another Magic Lantern Sale (May 12).

AND THEIR MANAGERS ARE THEIR PARENTS.
Last weekend saw extensive coverage on the news about how children whose parents "find it difficult" to say no can be disruptive in the classroom...not really NEWs to most teachers I suspect.
In my (warped) mind this segued rather neatly into the RESPECT debate currently surrounding football in England. Last Wednesday we had the extraordinarily petulant behaviour of Ashley Cole on being punished for a dangerous tackle. How like some uppity teenager he was as he turned his back on the ref, unbelievable, yes. Unsurprising, sadly no. It was absolutely typical of many people in todays society who seem simply pathologically incapable of accepting responsibility for their actions. They obviously never listened in physics classes...for every action a reaction.
Fast forward to Sunday's North West derby, United vs Liverpool. Javier Mascherano gets booked for dissent. As the camera focussed on him after the booking you could see him shouting expletive after f-word at the ref. This went on until just before half time when (according to his manager) he again approached the ref (from 20m away) to "ask him a question". As a consequence he got a 2nd yellow followed by a red and had to go off...but he couldn't understand why because he only wanted to ask a question...GROW UP YOU OVERPAID FOOL.
Now did his manager, whose reaction in the dugout indicated that he knew that this would happen, come out and back the ref for taking this decision...NO. The player did nothing wrong. He had only been booked for dissent previously, he had only carried on a non stop torrent of abuse at the ref. I would like to think that if Rafa Benitez took a hard line with his player, in public, then that player would be very loath to commit a similar error in the future.
This brings me to the point of this post, and I'm not talking about the role model position that these footballers should occupy. How many of us teachers have taken some form of disciplinary action against a pupil to find that a parent takes exception to it. As teachers we are expected to take on the role "in loco parentis" yet as soon as the s**t hits the fan, it becomes our fault. It's never wee Johnny's. He was upstairs doing his homework all night etc, etc. . Surely if parents accept the discipline imposed on their kids at school then maybe discipline in society will start to improve.
To go back to football I used to enjoy running teams at school. I have refused to do for the last 3 years because I will not ref a match. Maybe I am being soft but I do not see why I should have to put up with insults from teen age players and from the sidelines, insults that would not be tolerated in class. My breaking point was being told to f-off by one of my own players and then being sworn at by his Dad because I subbed him for it. Makes you wonder doesn't it.

'Lord heals to Falcao', a prayer that caused a sensation in the internet
Bogota, Jan 29 (Entravision) .- The injury of Falcao, which has cast doubt on its participation in the world of Brazil, has been given for lament but also for songs as a prayer that has begun to make an impression on the internet.
The prayer "Lord heals to Falcao" was composed by the singer/songwriter of gospel music Santiago Benavides, a Bosa 36 years who, he says, he has dedicated his life to sing to God and life.
"Lord heals to Falcao, arreglale leg, that goal many goals with our selection, and to give you glory in front of the earth, and to which the injured … perdonalo Lord", said one of the stanzas of the prayer that Benavides interpreted with a guitar and that can be displayed in the portal Youtube and social networking.
Falcao, of 27 years, is recovering from an injury that he suffered last January 22 in the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a game against Chasselay by the French football cup, which will prevent play a minimum of four months.
"The truth was a song that was simply, without any pretense of generating this 'boom' media that has been, so I am pleasantly surprised," Benavides told EFE by telephone from Medellín, where it resides.
According to Benavides, the prayer was "asking God to heal this son of hers that is Falcao and to go to the world, not only for the happiness of all Colombians and of the choice itself, but also so that he may testify to his faith in God and the process that God has done in his life," said Benavides.
Despite the fact that they were not very fond of football, Benavides, which only follows the selection absolute, he believed that the last word in the recovery of Falcao has God.
"But it is our desire, is our prayer and we have faith that God can do a miracle in the life of Falcao", he stressed.


"Emily a tall who can play both forward or back, has a great leap and overhead mark. Another one of our young ones who came up thorugh the 17s."
