The average life expectancy of a male in Mozambique is almost 56 and that of a female is 59.5. The country often gets hit by a number of epidemics, especially water-borne diseases such as cholera, which kills thousands of people each year. However, the biggest killed of all the diseases continues to remain HIV/AIDS.
Coronary Heart Disease: CHD, commonly known as atherosclerotic heart disease or CAD, is a disorder or disease of the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. Due to certain lifestyle and dietary habits, fats, oils and other material may deposit in the inner walls of the arteries, leading to formation of plaque. These plaques start to narrow the arteries, thus reducing the flow of blood in them. As a result, heart is deprived of proper amount of blood and this may result in chest pain or heart attack. CHD kills more than 4,500 people in Mozambique each year.
HIV/AIDS: HIV/AIDS kills more than 81,000 Mozambique nationals each year. It is the biggest killer in the country, with a majority of individuals getting killed because of an infection contracted due to compromised immune system. An individual gets HIV infection from another infected individual through exchange of body fluids. It later develops into AIDS, which is characterized by weight loss and flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills and night sweats.
Influenza: Pneumonia and influenza are two other causes that lead to death of more than 23,500 people in Mozambique. Commonly known as flu, influenza can prove fatal if not treated in time, especially in the high risk group. It is characterized by fever, runny nose, pain in the muscles, congestion, soreness, irritation, headache, nausea and body ache. It is a very common condition that affects older adults, children and pregnant women.
Stroke: This is a condition characterized by insufficient or no flow of blood to the brain. This cerebrovascular event is a kind of an emergency that required immediate treatment. A person suffering from stroke is experiences specific symptoms, such as problem in vision, numbness, muscle weakness, vertigo, fatigue, headache, balancing problems, reduced sensation and speech loss. Stroke kills more than 10,100 people in Zambia each year.
Meningitis: Meningitis kills almost 6,000 people in Mozambique in a year. It is characterized by inflammation of the membrane that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord, primarily because of a bacteria or viral infection. Meningitis may get cured by itself over a period of time or get worse, thus requiring immediate treatment. People suffering from meningitis may experience pain in the muscles, fever, chills, nausea, mental confusion, stiff neck, lethargy, shivering and sleeplessness.
Cervical Cancer: This form of cancer kills more than 3,500 women each year in Mozambique. Cervical cancer forms when the cancer cells invade or begin to grow in the lowermost part of the womb called cervix. The cancer of the cervix is usually removed with the help of a surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. A majority of women lose their ability to reproduce after surgery for cervical cancer.
Kidney Disease: Diseases that affect the functioning of the kidneys kills more than 4,100 people in Mozambique each year. These diseases affects individuals by impacting the filtration capacity of the kidney or by blocking the filtration process or excretion of waste materials from the body. Nephritis, chronic kidney disease, kidney failure, renal cyst, cystic kidney disease, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis and amyloidosis are some of the common kidney diseases.
Liver Disease: The conditions that damage the liver or prevent it from functioning properly kill almost 3,000 people in Mozambique each year. Hepatitis, fatty liver disease and cirrhosis are some of the common liver diseases that may prove fatal if not treated on time. Some of these diseases are caused by a viral attack, while others result because of an impact of alcohol and other toxic material on the liver.
Epilepsy: It is a common seizure disorder that kills more than 2,700 people in Mozambique each year. It is a disorder related to the nerves in the brain, which is marked by an excessive and abnormal electrical activity in the nerve cells of the brain. Epilepsy results because of a traumatic brain injury or due to genetic reason. An individual suffering from an epileptic episode suffers from amnesia, seizures and rhythmic muscle spasm or contractions.
Oesophagus Cancer: Esophagus Cancer cancer kills more than 1,000 people in Mozambique each year. It occurs when cancer cells appear in any part of the tube that runs down from the throat till the stomach. It is a rare form of cancer, which is treated with the help of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It affects the normal eating habits of the individual and may lead to coughing, heartburn, weight loss, indigestion, chest pain and change in voice.
Oral Cancer: Oral cancer kills more than 800 people in Mozambique each year and is characterized by development of cancer cells in any part of the oral cavity or mouth, including the tongue, gums, hard palate or soft palate. It is a common form of cancer that lead to formation of white or red lumps or patches inside the mouth. It is treated with the help of surgery and radiation therapy and by eliminating the risk factors such as HPV infection, smoking and alcohol use.
Lymphomas: It is the cancer of the lymphatic system that kills more than 700 people in Mozambique each year. It is of two types – Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is important to treat this cancer early with the help of medications, stem cell transplant, chemotherapy and radiation therapy because the disease-fighting ability of the body is hugely compromised in case of lymphoma. A person suffering from lymphoma may experience formation of a lump in the groin, neck or abdomen (key locations where lymph nodes are present), weight loss, shortness of breath and swollen lymph nodes.

Special Status Noose to Tighten Around Jagan's Neck?
Amid the rumors in a section media about the Central Government considering Special Status to Andhra Pradesh, Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal watered all the hopes. He advised the new government to forget about the Special Status and study Special Package to understand its worth.
The other day, Jagan met Home Minister Amit Shah and told the media that he urged for the Special Status to Andhra Pradesh. But it is more or less evident that all these are photo-ops. Also, this situation leaves CM Jagan in a Catch 22 situation. Jagan had promised the moon to come into Power and to fulfill all of them he needs money.
He may be tempted to take the Special Package to meet those expenses but then it will bring him a lot of political criticism as he portrayed himself as the Special Status Warrior. It has to be seen what Jagan decides on this issue which will have a significant bearing on his Political Future.
In his very Press Meet after meeting the Prime Minister after his electoral victory, Jagan told the media that there is very little he can do since BJP has got the majority on its own. He clarified that they can not demand the Special Status and can only request until they are moved.

Midwest still shakin' all over – 200 years later
By Will Parker on November 5, 2009 in News
New seismological research shows that the majority of modern earthquakes in the Midwest United States are merely aftershocks of a big quake that occurred two centuries ago. The study, conducted by researchers from Northwestern University and the University of Missouri-Columbia, appears in the latest issue of Nature.
"This sounds strange at first," said Northwestern's Seth Stein, who led the study. "On the San Andreas fault in California, aftershocks only continue for about 10 years. But in the middle of a continent, they go on much longer."
Stein explains that the difference is that the two sides of the San Andreas fault move past each other at a speed of about one and a half inches in a year – which is fast on a geologic scale. This motion "reloads" the fault by swamping the small changes caused by the last big earthquake, so aftershocks are suppressed after about 10 years. The New Madrid faults in the central US, however, move more than 100 times more slowly, so it takes hundreds of years to swamp the effects of a big earthquake.
"A number of us had suspected this," said co-researcher Mian Liu, "because many of the earthquakes we see today in the Midwest have patterns that look like aftershocks. They happen on the faults we think caused the big earthquakes in 1811 and 1812, and they've been getting smaller with time."
To test this idea, the researchers used results from lab experiments on how faults in rocks work to predict that aftershocks would extend much longer on slower moving faults. They then looked at data from faults around the world and found the expected pattern. For example, aftershocks continue today from the magnitude 7.2 Hebgen Lake earthquake that shook Montana, Idaho and Wyoming 50 years ago.
"This makes sense because the Hebgen Lake fault moves faster than the New Madrid faults but slower than the San Andreas," Stein noted. "The observations and theory came together the way we like but don't always get."
"Aftershocks go on for long times in other places inside continents," Stein added. "It even looks like we see small earthquakes today in the area along Canada's Saint Lawrence valley where a large earthquake occurred in 1663."
The new results will help investigators in both understanding earthquakes in continents and trying to assess earthquake hazards there. "Until now," Liu observed, "we've mostly tried to tell where large earthquakes will happen by looking at where small ones do. That's why many scientists were surprised by the disastrous May 2008 magnitude 7.9 earthquake in Sichuan, China – a place where there hadn't been many earthquakes in the past few hundred years."

Pictured above: the beginning of a delicious fresh pineapple salsa from the great blog Two Peas and their Pod. I love this recipe! I could happily eat a bowl of it, with chips. However, I put it over some fresh ahi that Mr. L. grilled (see below).
However, I have a cautionary tale about making this salsa. For the first time ever, I had a reaction to the jalapeno pepper. A couple of hours after I made it, I noticed that my hands were burning. I thought that was odd, and washed them again. And again. I had just done the dishes, and wondered if maybe the residue from the pepper got in some cuts, or something. I dried my burning paws and (painfully) typed the query into google. For Pete's sake! I could not believe what a commonplace occurrence this is. I have chopped jalapeno peppers for years and never once did they bother me. This time, one little pepper, and OW!
First, I tried some lotion. Big mistake - that just seemed to insulate the heat. I washed that off and next tried milk. That felt great. The post I was reading suggested that one should let the milk dry on your hands. I tried that, but sticky, milk-y hands are completely impractical. Besides, the burning started back up when the milk dried. Another suggestion was Benedryl. I was reluctant to try that, because at that point I'd had a glass and a half of wine, and figured the combination was probably a bad idea. Back to the internet, and this time I tried rubbing alcohol. Ahhhhhh. It did not completely alleviate the burning sensation, but it definitely helped.
The best thing to do? Wear food-handler gloves. I EVEN HAD THEM IN MY CUPBOARD. It's a good thing that dinner was absolutely delicious.

Ex-Halliwells partners win exemption from liquidator's claim
By Gazette newsdesk2014-10-30T10:34:00+00:00
Nine former partners of collapsed firm Halliwells have defeated a court bid by the firm's liquidator to claim back hundreds of thousands of pounds from them in allegedly overpaid drawings.
Halliwells, formerly one of the UK's biggest regional law firms with 100 partners and 600 staff, collapsed early in 2010 following a steep decline in profitability resulting from the recession. It was broken up and several other firms acquired parts of the business.
The case involved former partner Steven Fennell, who was used as a test case for eight other fixed-share members of the limited liability partnership. All left Halliwells for Kennedys, having entered into a retirement deed with the former.
BDO claimed that Fennell owed over £101,000 resulting from drawings having been made on account of profits that were never made. It claimed that because Halliwells made 'substantial losses' from May 2009 to April 30 2010 and thereafter until entering administration on 20 July 2010, Fennell was not entitled to take drawings as a fixed-share member.
In a written High Court judgment however, His Honour Judge Hodge ruled that 'the wording of the retirement deed, and its effect, are clear'.
He added: 'The LLP thereby waived and released any claim to pursue Mr Fennell (and the other departing fixed-share members) for any overpaid drawings and any overpaid tax.'
The judgment also updates other unresolved matters relating to Halliwells' collapse. Secured creditor Royal Bank of Scotland is owed £17.7m and unsecured creditors £203m.
Claims (or possible claims) against former LLP members include: claims for overdrawn current accounts and tax reserve accounts against 150 (the category into which this case falls); claims against 32 former members (not including Fennell) for recovery of a £20m 'reverse premium' which the partners shared when the firm moved into new premises in Manchester; and possible liquidators' claims against 150 members under the Insolvency Act 1986.
Dermot Power, joint liquidator of Halliwells LLP, said: 'The judgment is only relevant to a small number of fixed-share partners – nine out of a total of 150 – and relates narrowly to the provisions of their retirement deeds. The judgment ruled that the joint liquidators could not pursue claims against these partners to recover overdrawings.
'The decision has not been accepted by the liquidators' legal counsel.
'In the meantime, the joint liquidators continue to pursue multiple other avenues to maximise recoveries for creditors, including action against partners who have sought immunity from liquidation claims.'

The start of this weekend brought beautiful fall leaves so I decided to take advantage of them before meeting some friends. Saturday's and Sunday's during the fall mean frequent football watching and I decided to dress a little more festive for some of the college games. All of the most viewed games happen to be Big10 schools now that I'm back in the midwest, doesn't anyone here share my love for the pac 12? I figured if you can't beat em' join em. I love having a neutral outfit with a pop of color and this coral scarf was a great addition to spice it up a bit. Although the team your rooting for may not win, it's always nice to feel good in what you're wearing and rep them anyway. Even though it wasn't college football, let's just all forget about that Bears loss yesterday, yeah?
Hope you all have a great week a head!

Mars Just Got a Little More Life-Friendly
Water on the surface? Check. But that doesn't automatically make the planet habitable.
Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) appear as dark streaks on the slopes of Coprates Chasma on Mars.
Yesterday NASA held a press conference to announce new evidence for the presence of liquid water on Mars—not millions of years ago, but now—based on a paper published by Lujendra Ojha and co-authors in the journal Nature Geoscience.
The confirmation that liquid water exists on today's Mars was done based on spectral analysis of dark streaks observed on the slopes of Martian craters, called Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL), which grow larger during warmer seasons when water gets close to or exceeds its freezing point. Using data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the researchers determined that these streaks are composed of hydrated salts, particularly magnesium perchlorate, magnesium chlorate, and sodium perchlorate. All of these salts lower the melting point of water by huge amounts, up to 80 degrees Celsius.
The detected salts are also hygroscopic, meaning they can attract water directly from the atmosphere. Thus, the water within the RSL salts likely derives from the atmosphere. Alternatively, the dark streaks may also be seasonally fed by groundwater, though the distribution and pattern of the RSL seems to be more consistent with an atmospheric source.
Does that mean life exists within the dark streaks? That's a difficult call. Laboratory results and field studies (for example, from the Don Juan Pond in Antarctica) show that microbes have a difficult time living in brines, particularly brines enriched in calcium and magnesium. Perchlorate solutions, which remain liquid down to really low temperatures, would even be more difficult for microbes to handle (how difficult is a current subject of various laboratory investigations). On the other hand, research from the Atacama Desert shows that the driest habitats on Earth are salt crusts, in which salt-loving bacteria take up water directly from the atmosphere. Still, Mars is quite a bit drier than the driest desert on Earth, probably right at the limit of survivability for microorganisms. Only further research will clarify whether the RSL are habitable.
Unfortunately, it's unlikely that a space probe will land near these dark streaks to resolve the question any time soon. First, it would be a challenge to land on such a steep slope, and secondly, there are worries about contaminating these unique sites with microbes from Earth. According to planetary protection rules, any spacecraft going near the RSL would have to be thoroughly sterilized first.
As with most discoveries, more questions pop up than answers. However, this result is significant: We now have (indirect) evidence that liquid water does exist on present-day Mars, and the planet seems a bit more life-friendly than it did just a few days ago.

Fisker reveals affordable all-electric SUV
By Matt Ross on	 March 19, 2019 Industry News, Pure-electric Powertrain
Fisker has released early details of a new all-electric SUV design, priced below US$40,000 and set to launch in the second half of 2021.
Available in four-wheel drive with two electric motors – one at the front and one at the rear – the all-electric SUV will come with a standard extended range, targeted at approximately 300 miles (483km). This, Fisker claims, is made possible by an enhanced 80kWh+ lithium-ion battery pack. More details of the battery will be released closer to launch.
Fisker is currently finalizing the selection of a facility, within the USA, to produce the SUV. The company is currently developing a larger line-up of affordable, luxury electric vehicles – with the SUV the first to launch.
The previously unveiled Fisker EMotion sedan, the brand's low-volume flagship model, will now be introduced to the market after the affordable model becomes available.
"Our team set out on a mission to create an affordable EV that's more exciting and emotion-stirring than what the market has been offering," said chairman and CEO Henrik Fisker.
"We're now excited to be introducing a vehicle that truly reinvents the SUV. At an affordable price point, starting below US$40,000, we're delivering a desirable, luxuriously rugged and green vehicle – complete with unique new experiences and technologies – that's accessible to people across the USA and the world.

A PORTRAIT A DAY: ONE PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNEY, BY SIMONE SEVERO.
http://www.simonevision.com/storeThank you so much for all who were part of this year-long journey. 365 unique portraits, now in one place: my first book. To see the pictures of the book signing event click HERE.
I would like to let you know that there are TWO VERSIONS OF THIS BOOK.
The printed version is 200 pages long. It contains 76 portraits in full page with their stories on the opposite page. It also has all the 365 portraits in a smaller version so every portrait is represented in the book. The book is printed in high quality glossy 80 pound paper, and I am proud of it!
The digital version is a PDF file with 782 pages. It has every portrait in full page with its story on the opposite page. Due to the number of photographs in both versions, creating a digital e-book for Kindle, Nook or i-pad was not an option for me. Instead, I created a PDF file at high resolution, available for sale in my website.

Information and broadcasting secretary Amit Khare on Thursday said that the government has not received a single serious complaint where it had to intervene regarding content on over the top (OTT) platforms, such as Netflix and Hotstar, and digital news media outlets since the new intermediary and digital media rules came into effect on February 25.
"In the last five months, there has not been a single occasion when the oversight mechanism of the government was used to resolve any complaints," Khare said. "This was the purpose of creating a self regulating mechanism; it was always an enabling provision."
The last major complaint received by the ministry was respect to Amazon Prime original show Tandav. Complainants said the show disrespected religious sentiments, said an official familiar with the matter who asked not to be named. The government also sought a response from the makers of the show. The cast and crew have since apologised.
Khare added that the lack of complaints, however, did not obviate the need for the emergency powers possessed by the government to order a takedown of content. "The provision may be required at a later stage but only to enable the government to act in case of emergency. As you can see, the government has not had to intervene even once until now."
The new intermediary and digital media guidelines also institute a three-tier mechanism for grievance redressal with an inter-ministerial committee at its apex, require platforms to appoint grievance redressal officers in case of OTT and digital news media platforms, and give the I&B ministry takedown powers over the content circulated online.
The takedown powers, which for the first time covered news media outlets, are provided for under section 69(A) of the information technology act. A designated officer of the IT minister, at present joint secretary Vikram Sahay, can order takedown of content under the section in the interest of the integrity and sovereignty of India or if it is seen as a threat to public order.
The provision was a major cause of concern, with news media platforms raising their voice against the section stating that it will lead to censorship of content. The rules, which were notified in February, have been challenged in the court by some media companies.
"There was a misapprehension that the government will use the oversight mechanism for day-to-day business," Khare said. "But that is not the case."
While there is no requirement for the digital news media publishers to be registered with the ministry, information pertaining to their grievance redressal officer in India, self-regulating body of which the publisher is a member and the details of the editor were sought by the ministry on May 26. Nearly 1800 digital media outfits and 41 over the top platforms have already shared these.
The self regulating bodies of the platforms have also created their own oversight mechanism, which form the second tier of the self regulation system.

Downham Market Choir welcomes new members
Alvin M. Keeling March 8, 2022 1 min read
Members of Downham's community choir, Singers Inspired, are enjoying a return to regular rehearsals and learning songs together again.
Like all choirs, they were prohibited from doing so during the pandemic and their enthusiastic music director, Natalie O'Sullivan, offered virtual practice sessions over Zoom during this time.
But singing alone at home was a far cry from the jovial experience of a room full of voices.

The 18-year-old choir has seen a steady stream of new members since its in-person reboot last fall, but there's always room for more.
They meet weekly for two hours on Thursday evenings at Downham Methodist Church Hall.
The choir learns a wide range of music from gospel to pop, original arrangements and songs from around the world. Most are sung in four-part harmony, with all tunes learned by ear, so there is no requirement to read the music, and all are welcome without auditions.
Choir committee member Nix Marston said: "Members currently range in age from 18 to 92, with a balance of voices in the soprano, alto, tenor and bass sections, but a few extra sopranos and tenors would be nice.
"Singers Inspired are also looking to restart live performance, with bookings to sing at local festivals for charity.
"They will also learn the new song for the Commonwealth created to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee across the world.
"Anyone interested in joining the choir can email singersinspired.choir@gmail.com or phone 01366 384232 and the first two sessions are free as a taster."

Whether I am with someone or alone, Sunday brunch is something I always look forward to all week. The New York Times, WQXR Classical Music and brunch means a great day ahead. Here is a wonderful alternative for serving poached eggs.
Follow the instruction on the container and cook the bulgar wheat.
Blister the jalapenos by putting them directly on a gas flame or in a broiler.
When they are blackened, scrape the black off, cut the stem section off and with small sharp paring knife and cut the seeds away from the fruit.
Soften the onions, garlic and tomatillo in the olive oil and add the mixture to the bulgar wheat and mix it well. It should not be too loose.
Add the strawberries and mix again.
Holding the peppers in your hand so that your fingers wrap around the pepper, stuff the pepper with the mixture, pushing it down as you full. Be careful not to push it right through the pepper.
Put the peppers on a plate and refrigerate while you do the rest of the brunch.
Take the tortilla and soften it by putting it in hot oil or in the microwave.
Place it on the serving plate.
On top of the tortilla, spoon some warm ChileBoss™ Strawberry Amarillo and sprinkle a crumbling cheese on top of it. Use feta of Mexican fresca.
Fill a small sauce pan with water and a quarter cup of white vinegar and bring it to a boil.
Turn the heat down, crack the eggshell and slowly slip the egg into the water. You can get 2 eggs in a pan.
Cook for 3 minutes or a little less.
When the eggs are first in the pan, use a fork and swirl the water around the eggs. It will bring all the whites together instead of being spread out.
When the time is up, use a slotted spoon and remove them and put them on top of the avocado.
Take the peppers out of the fridge and cut them into rings of about 1/2 inch.
Put them on the plate, sprinkle the plate with the toasted pumpkin seeds and some cilantro and serve.


After 9/11 we were in a daze, a fog that wouldn't lift, as if the dust and debris of the towers had spread nationwide. It wasn't clear at the time whether this was an isolated attack, or the first of many.
As if in answer came the anthrax mailings, about a week or so later. That compounded the daze. It was a strange time, and we were all uneasy.
The terrorists only did a little of the job, you see. They killed a few thousand, traumatized a couple of cities. But to make it a really national event, a global event, that required the media and the government. Each in their own way opportunists, they were—and continue to be—complicit.
We were asked to be vigilant about suspicious packages. At the time, that seemed prudent, almost welcomed. There is such an urge to do something in response to an awful happening. It's an emotional need. A hunger that must be fed.
It was against this backdrop that I soon found a box hanging from my mailbox. Not in it. Just hanging from it. In a bag.
Never mind that I was no one anyone had ever heard of, living in a small town in the middle of nowhere anyone cared about. One's own life always seems so much bigger and more important than most lives probably are. We all need to feel important.
The package said it was from my health insurance carrier, which to some less vigilant soul might have seemed fine, but I wasn't taking "routine" for an answer. I hadn't asked them for anything. I had no reason to suppose they would send me anything. And we were admonished to be suspicious, so suspicious we were.
After all, only the post office is allowed to put something in my mailbox. And this package wasn't in the mailbox, just hung from it in a plastic bag, probably by someone willing to dispense anthrax but fearful of prosecution for improper use of a mailbox. That seemed to make sense. The kind of sense that people who live in fear are likely to make. The kind of sense that felt good to me. Never mind the fact that the package probably wouldn't have fit in the mailbox in the first place, if this manner of delivery wasn't an outright confession of guilt, it at least had "suspicious package" written all over it.
So I called the health insurance folks to check. "No," they said. They had not sent it. In fact, the return address was an office that was not even open any more.
I wanted to go to the FBI or something. But we had no such office in our tiny town. I wondered if perhaps they had trucks that went town to town, looking for possible anthrax mailings and carting them back to FBI Central. So I went to the post office and asked them. I don't think they were prepared. The government was prepared to scare us, but not to address our fears.
"Go to the fire department," they said. I shrugged and did.
They seemed as confused as the post office. They suggested the police department, and off I went.
So I followed as we walked outside to where some kids were playing basketball in an open area with lots of cement on the ground. The policeman shooed the kids away, taking control of the space for his own clever plan.
"Stand back," the policeman said, aiming a gun at the box.
I tried to explain that it was anthrax I was worried about, and that a gun seemed the wrong idea.
It was too late. He had shot it.
Fortunately, since we were standing much too close and the kids would have probably never gotten to come back to play, there was no explosion. Nor was there any powder.
We opened the box. It was a catalog.
I worry a lot about terrorism these days, but not always about what the terrorists will do to us. Now I have a new worry: What we'll do in response to the terror. What we'll let our government do in our name, just so they can feel good having done something. Seeing that event, and that pointless act, an act so stupid you'd think it was fiction if you hadn't been there to watch it, it was easier to understand how we started a pointless war.
And I don't know what's weirder—that he did that or that I stood by and let him. It was weird what they did, but it was also weird that I just went along with it. Looking back, I guess it was more caught up in that societal daze than I had realized.
But it's who we are, we human beings, all of us. We're easily afraid, and then more easily corralled. We need to know our propensities, and to recognize when they're overtaking us, lest the simple option of exercising sanity elude us at the most critical of times.
Author's Notes: If you got value from this post, please Share it.
I never got around to telling this story when it first happened, but in light of recent events in Paris, and my worry about the selfish manipulation of politics that will inevitably follow, I decided perhaps it was finally time. After more than a dozen years, one or two details might be off in small ways, but it's the moral that matters, that we're vulnerable in times like this—not just to terrorists, but to our own terrors and to those who would exploit them.
For more on the politics of preying on fear, I heartily recommend Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine.

News Economy Turkey sees nearly 1.5M housing sales in 2021
Turkey sees nearly 1.5M housing sales in 2021
Anadolu Agency ECONOMY
Published January 14,2022
A total of 1.49 million residential properties were sold in Turkey last year, the country's statistical authority said Friday.
This was slightly down by 0.5% from 2020, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) data showed.
Istanbul had the highest share with 18.5% or 276,223 house sales in 2021, followed by Ankara with 144,104 and Izmir with 86,722.
Some 461,523 new houses were sold across the country, while the rest were secondhand sales.
The mortgaged housing sales totaled at 294,530 in 2021, down 49% from the previous year.
SALES TO FOREIGNERS RISE SIGNIFICANTLY
Housing sales to foreigners jumped by 43.5% year-on-year to hit 58,576 units in 2021, TurkStat data showed.
Istanbul, the country's largest city by population, enjoyed the lion's share of those sales to foreigners, with 26,469 units.
It was followed by the Mediterranean resort city of Antalya with 12,384 properties, and the capital Ankara with 3,672.
The data showed that Iranian citizens made up the largest group of foreign sales according to nationality, as they bought 10,056 houses in Turkey.
Iraqis followed them with 8,661 housing units, Russians with 5,379, Afghans with 2,762 and Germans with 2,358.

Creeper Alert! Man pretends to be doctor, examines hospital patients
By Kevin Dharmawan Apr 17, 2015 | 7:42pm Hong Kong time
The police have arrested a man found loitering at a local hospital and posing as a fake physician.
The 24-year old "doctor" was stopped by security guards at the United Christian Hospital in Kwun Tong before he was apprehended by the police for the crime of being a super creepy-ass dude with misguided career fantasies.
Police reports say that the suspect managed to get his hands on a fashionable white coat and a stethoscope to fool hospital personnel and patients at least ten times since March (!), report the SCMP and Apple Daily.
He also borrowed a hospital card after telling staff that he had lost his card. Yes, it was that easy – who needs seven years of med school?
The man, who has not been identified by name, returned to Hong Kong from Australia last year after he failed his studies in medicine. However, he was apparently so hell bent on being a doctor that he decided to learn on the job.
He currently works as a financial investment agent.
Though he is not believed to have treated or given out medicines to patients, police sources say that he contacted two male patients and carried out "examinations." We shiver at the thought.
The police are still investigating the incident and scouring security footage to determine if he tampered with patient records.
In light of the arrest, hospital personnel have upped security and urged staff members to report mysterious individuals roaming hospital grounds.
As of this afternoon, the man was still in detention at the Sau Mau Ping police station. Though he has not been officially charged, he can face up to three years in prison for his offence. Maybe he can finish his degree while he's in jail.

Lana Del Rey Crafts A Hypnotic California Sound On 'Norman F****** Rockwell!'
By Ken Tucker • Sep 6, 2019
Originally published on September 10, 2019 12:23 pm
DAVE DAVIES, HOST:
This is FRESH AIR. Lana Del Rey is a singer and songwriter who, over the last decade, has released a string of recordings that have expanded our idea of what Los Angeles pop music sounds like. She's just released her first album in over two years. It's called "Norman Rockwell!" with an exuberant obscenity inserted between those two names. Rock critic Ken Tucker says the music on this album is some of the strongest of the year.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "F*** IT I LOVE YOU")
LANA DEL REY: (Singing) I like to see everything in neon, drink lime green, stay up till dawn. Maybe the way that I'm living is killing me. I like to light up the stage with a song, do [expletive] to keep me turned on. But one day, I woke up like, maybe I'll do it differently, so I moved to California, but it's just a state of mind.
KEN TUCKER, BYLINE: Lana Del Rey is guided by what the art critic Peter Plagens has called the sunshine muse, that bright clarity of California light that also illuminates darker impulses and bleak thoughts. The singer and songwriter's new album is a series of earthquakes and aftershocks rendered with supreme confidence and a steely assurance.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "HOPE IS A DANGEROUS THING FOR A WOMAN LIKE ME TO HAVE - BUT I HAVE IT")
DEL REY: (Singing) I was reading Slim Aarons, and I got to thinking that I thought maybe I'd get less stressed if I was tested less like all of these debutantes, smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on white yachts, but I'm not. Baby, I'm not. No, I'm not that. I'm not. I've been tearing around in my [expletive] nightgown 24/7, Sylvia Plath writing in blood on the walls 'cause the ink in my pen don't work in my notepad.
TUCKER: Del Rey constantly contrasts her tone of voice with the words she chooses. She creates drama by speaking bluntly through a hypnotic croon. She uses the F word a lot. Much harsher than her vocabulary, however, are her assessments of the men around her, many of them self-absorbed boobs who misunderstand or underestimate her.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "MARINERS APARTMENT COMPLEX")
DEL REY: (Singing) You took my sadness out of context at the Mariners Apartment Complex. I ain't no candle in the wind. I'm the board, the lightning, the thunder, kind of girl who's going to make you wonder who you are and who you've been. And who I've been is with you on these beaches, your Venice bitch, your die-hard, your weakness. Maybe I could save you from your sins. So kiss the sky and whisper to Jesus. My, my, my, you found this. You need this. Take a deep breath, baby. Let me in.
TUCKER: That's "Mariners Apartment Complex." "Norman F****** Rockwell" is an album of 14 songs spread over more than an hour. Songs regularly exceed four or five minutes. One goes on for more than nine, and Del Rey needs every second of them. She needs to set scenes, to make small jokes and to frame her observations about the various ways we sabotage ourselves and other people.
The album was produced by Jack Antonoff, who, in recent years, has worked with women including Taylor Swift, P!nk and St. Vincent. With Del Rey, Antonoff seems to think it best to step back and set off her vocals with piano and acoustic guitar. A few times, the two of them attempt something more grand, and the gamble pays off in the gleaming beauty of a song called "The Greatest."
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "THE GREATEST")
DEL REY: (Singing) I miss Long Beach, and I miss you, baby. I miss dancing with you the most of all. I miss the bar where the Beach Boys would go, Dennis' last stop before Kokomo. Those nights were on fire. We couldn't get higher. We didn't know that we had it all, but nobody warns you before the fall.
TUCKER: Lana Del Rey is very consciously a California artist, dotting these songs with references to appropriate LA musicians and visual artists. You get the feeling her sensibility has been shaped by riding in the car, listening to the brightness of the Beach Boys during the day and then holing up in bed at night, reading, perhaps, about the doomed families in Ross Macdonald's Santa Barbara detective stories.
There are songs in which Del Rey wants you to envision her unable to sleep, climbing into her truck to zoom down through Laurel Canyon, making a right on Sunset Boulevard, heading off to Santa Monica and Venice Beach, feeling a chill of melancholy.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "THE NEXT BEST AMERICAN RECORD")
DEL REY: (Singing) My baby used to dance underneath my architecture to the "Houses Of The Holy," smoking on them cigarettes. My baby used to dance underneath my architecture. He was cool as heck. He was cool as heck, and we were so obsessed with writing the next best American record.
TUCKER: One of the ultimate LA writers, Eve Babitz, made this observation in her 1974 book "Slow Days, Fast Company." Quote, "you can't write a story about LA that doesn't turn around in the middle or get lost." Indeed, many of Lana Del Rey's songs on this album take the same hairpin turns that Brad Pitt does driving down the canyon in Quentin Tarantino's recent "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood." The difference is, with Lana Del Rey at the wheel, you're never afraid you'll get lost or crack up.

Why are Caucasians vanishing in TV commercials?
Commercials take up 27% of commercial television screen time and are the main source of income for TV and radio stations. In most cases, advertisements on all channels appear simultaneously, so don't try to change the channel, there will be commercials elsewhere, too. Nowadays they have also taken over the Internet. For financial support, websites have to run ads on their pages, the largest share supplied and controlled by Google. Ads pry into your eyes, unceremoniously interfere with text, and on YouTube, in the most inappropriate places, they cut into the action of films, lectures, and concerts, tearing apart musical performances. There's no escaping commercials, we've grown accustomed to them, and they become almost as much a part of our lives as food, toilets, and sleep.
(Article by Jacob Fraden republished from AmericanThinker.com)
In the United States today, the White population (not including Hispanics) is 57.8%. In real life, Caucasians are still in the majority, but now on TV and the Internet, they are swept under the rug like trash. Blacks comprise 14% of the U.S. population but appear in 50% of commercials. White actors now appear to promote health insurance, gold, loans, and some medicines. Moreover, if a White person appears in a commercial, he/she is usually old, sick, a freak, or at the very least, an appendage to a Black partner. If there's a doctor on the screen, he's usually Black, while the patient is usually White. Caucasian young men appear in only 4% of the commercials! If some aliens began to study the population of Planet Earth through our TV commercials they would have a somewhat distorted picture of Americans, to put it mildly.

So why do advertisers ignore the long-standing rules of marketing, and to the detriment of their own financial interests, fill the media space with content that displaces and degrades its biggest market segment? The answer is simple. At the heart of this nonsense is political correctness in a form even an Orwell could not have foreseen. Business executives go out of their way to publicly show their conformity with the universal "diversity" and "critical racial theory" (CRT), demanding that the White man be blamed for all the sins one can imagine. Replacing ancient, long-vanished oppression of Blacks with real oppression of Whites, overcompensating and planting racism-in-reverse.
Why does the White population, which is still in the majority in the U.S., accept the banishing and belittling obediently and silently? Why is there no public criticism, much less resistance to the idiocy? Why don't people don't tell political correctness to go to hell? After all, the U.S. is not Stalin's USSR, and anyone who disagrees with the party is not yet sent to a camp or shot. Why is there such stifling conformity among the American people, formerly known for their independence and freedom of speech? The answer is simple and sad: the reason is fear, albeit on a more vegetarian level than it was under Soviet rule.
Ordinary people keep their mouths shut for fear of losing their jobs, not getting a holiday bonus, not getting promoted, or being socially ostracized. This is understandable, and I wouldn't blame them, although I wouldn't respect them either. But what are people of higher position afraid of — the heads and owners of businesses? What is threatening them? Indeed, nobody is going to drive them out of their positions or take their business, though fear of boycotts can be realistic. They are afraid of various inconveniences: negative articles in the leftist press, social shunning, frivolous lawsuits, loss of state and federal licenses, government contracts, unexpected audits by the IRS, fines for alleged violations of minorities' rights, and the like small and large troubles.
People think that if they keep quiet, then the pendulum will swing back and everything will sort itself out. But comfort kills the will to resist and produces conformism, which inevitably leads to stagnation, degradation of society, reduction of living standards and, finally, to loss of that very comfort.
So what are we to do? I am not calling anyone to the barricades but only ask: Don't live by lies. The least any of us can do today is not participate in lies of the CRT and other political correctness: not watch their movies, not read their newspapers, not vote for the conformist candidates, not support them financially, and certainly never buy anything that in a politically correct manner is singing and dancing on a TV or computer screen.
