The flu season, and flu shot debate, persists
Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that flu activity is decreasing in many parts of the country, 47 states are still reporting widespread geographic influenza activity. The southern and southeastern parts of the country, along with New England and the Midwest, are seeing a decline in the number of flu cases, while populations in the Southwest and Northwest have seen an increase in activity. According to the CDC, more than 130 million doses of the flu vaccine have been distributed as of January 18, and state that there are sufficient vaccinations for those who have not yet received the flu shot.
Along with the flu, the debate rages on as to whether healthcare workers should be required to receive the vaccination. Last month, eight nurses at an Indiana hospital were fired for refusing the mandatory flu shots, causing both positive and negative reactions from the public and the healthcare community.
In a poll this month at StrategiesforNurseManagers.com, we asked readers whether or not nurses at their organizations are required to receive a flu shot. The results were almost evenly matched, with 58% saying flu shots are mandatory and 42% responding that the flu vaccination is optional.
How do you feel about mandatory flu shots? Do you agree with firing nurses who refuse, or do you feel that it is a right to refuse the vaccine? Weigh in on the issue in our comments section!
Proposed 2014 National Patient Safety Goal on alarm management
Editor's note: This post originally appeared on the Patient Safety Monitor blog.
On January 15, the Joint Commission issued a proposed National Patient Safety Goal (NPSG) on management of alarms. Alarms are intended to avert caregivers of potential patient problems, but if they are not properly managed, they can compromise patient safety, and there is a general agreement that this is an important safety issue, according to the release.
This proposed NPSG focuses on managing alarms that have the most direct relationship to patient safety. As alarm management solutions are identified, this proposed NPSG would be updated to reflect best practices. A survey in the release contains 15 questions and respondents will be able to offer their comments directly to the Joint Commission. The survey is open until February 26, 2013.
View the proposed NPSG requirements.
Review finds quality of NP care equal to physician care
Care provided by nurse practitioners (NP) is comparable to care provided by physicians in terms of patient satisfaction, prescribing accuracy, preventative education, and time spent with patients, according to a literature review conducted by the National Governors Association. The group examined 22 articles and studies regarding scope-of-practice for NPs.
The review found that NPs could successfully manage chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity, and rated favorably in gaining patients' compliance with recommendations and reductions in blood pressure and blood sugar. The report notes that patients often stated a preference for a care from a physician when it came to medical aspects, but had no preference with regards to nonmedical aspects of care.
NPs are currently allowed to practice and prescribe independently in 16 states and the District of Columbia, while NPs in the remaining 34 states must have some level of physician involvement in order to practice. The authors of the report note that expanding scope-of-practice laws for NPs could help states meet the increasing demands for primary care services. The debate over whether or not NPs should be allowed to practice independently has been ongoing for several years, with many physicians groups opposing NP independence. However, those states and healthcare systems that have expanded the role of NPs have reported positive results, according to the report.

Remember that all-consuming feeling of utter excitement that you used to have when you were young and opened your eyes in the morning? Like, you GET TO get up and go to school! You GET TO put on those cool new shoes! You GET TO play with your friends! You GET TO go ride your bike! You GET TO hug your baby sister or your new puppy! You GET TO go buy some candy with the change your grandma gave you! You GET TO go climb up into the treehouse! You GET TO help your mom make cookies! You GET TO, you absolutely do GET TO……..WAKE UP & LIVE LIFE.
Yes, this post is about GRATITUDE, in a way that captures that excitement that we all had as young children, before we understood tragedy and heartbreak and all that can go wrong with our day. I propose that we try to really remember that feeling of just jumping out of bed and being happy and thrilled to start the day — and try to re-capture that electric feeling and live it NOW.
I realized it had been a long time since I'd jumped out of bed in the morning. Even if the alarm went off and I had to get up early to do something special. I would gradually waken while laying there ruminating about: a) what happened yesterday, b) what do I have to do today, c) what did I eat yesterday, d) who am I going to have to see today that I don't want to, e) what do I have to accomplish today, f) did I exercise yesterday, g) what did I not finish yesterday, h) who is annoyed with me, i) who has betrayed me, j) and let's review all my embarrassing moments of the past 6 months, no the past 3 years, no………… well, you get the picture! The brooding can start to get pretty depressing if allowed to continue. And this might very well be a day filled with fun and good things to look forward to!
Whenever I get stuck in an emotional pattern that doesn't feel good, I try to go back to a place in my past, usually in young childhood, where the good feelings were pure and uncomplicated. Sun UP? Then, YAY! Let's get this show on the road! Why not jump up and look out the window and greet the sun? I confess I've done this lately and have even scared my husband out of his gradual awakening by my sudden leap from the bed and throwing up the window blinds!!! "Huh?!? What's wrong?", he says. "Nothing!", I reply, "I'm just excited!", then he looks at me with that silent quizzical eye and probably thinks "That's another one of those silly city girl things that she does…..well, if it makes her happy….cuckoo!!!" Yes, cuckoo for cocoa puffs, you gotta be a little crazy to ignore all the voices of "reason" and "logic" and "maturity" that are whispering to you to zip it up, get serious and don't be so naive. I mean, after all, think of all the drudgery that lays ahead today, the hard work, all the bad things going on in the world, how can you possibly be excited?
Because EACH DAY IS A GIFT. Am I breathing? Did I open my eyes? How lucky am I! Even if the day is going to be a tough challenge, let's say going to juvenile court with your son, for example, you GET TO. You GET TO put on those pretty new earrings! You GET TO drive a car! You GET TO see the enormous incredible sky! You GET TO have a tasty coffee! You GET TO help your child maneuver through this moment of his life! You GET TO see beautiful scenery and buildings! You GET TO listen to music! You GET TO reassure your child and listen to him confess his regret! You GET TO watch him grow! You GET TO hear and read love messages from family and friends on your iPhone! You GET TO hug your child and be hugged by your husband! All these things are there for the taking, the appreciating. Things that are the gifts to your own fabulous unique life. It's not crazy, it's hyper sane if you ask me. And it can turn your world upside down.
As we get older, our sense of time changes. It definitely feels like its speeding up. I think that's because at a certain point, we've been there, done that over and over and know what to expect. We take so much for granted because its not new anymore. Even if we haven't done that particular thing before or gone to that particular place before, we pretty much can predict what the experience will be like because of similar experiences in our past. But if we try to look at the situation in a new way, with gratitude eyes, looking for the silver lining, the true thing that we cynically ignored in the past, then suddenly it all slows down. We're not sleepwalking through life any more. PINCH ME! I get to LIVE, right now, right here!!!!!
Even in the worst predicaments, like major health problems, or being in an abusive situation that feels endless, you still GET TO have dreams and hope. And if you're stuck in a seemingly boring, routine life and work, pinch yourself to remind yourself you're alive and its STILL YOUR DAY. Always is.
So my 1.pinch 2.self 3.daily collage this week is a portrait of my hands. Pinching self and reaching toward the sun. I think this might be my new mantra. The sun and rays are a recurring motif in my art, I'm noticing. This collage another "assignment" from Brave Girls Art School (http://bravegirlsclub.com/wing-sessions), using a great technique for those of us who are challenged in the life drawing department! Take a photo of your hands, print it out and then paint over it and add whatever clothing or jewelry you want with other collage techniques. Easy! Really!
What are you pinching yourself about today? I'd love to here about instances where you've found the silver lining in a bad situation. Did it make it more bearable? Did it make you feel grateful, more alive and in the moment? Please don't hesitate to leave a reply comment!!! And make sure to check back if you do, because there just might be a reply to your reply.

Vagif Mustafazadeh
Vagif Mustafazadeh (Azerbaijani: Vaqif Mustafazadə; March 16, 1940 – December 16, 1979), also known as Vaqif Mustafa-Zadeh, was an Azerbaijani jazz pianist and composer, acclaimed for fusing jazz and the traditional Azerbaijani folk music known as mugham. According to many world famous jazz musicians,[1][2][3][4][5] Mustafazadeh is one of the pioneers and "the architect of jazz in Azerbaijan".[2]

|March 16, 1940

|December 16, 1979 (aged 39)
Tashkent, Uzbekistan SSR
|Composer, musician
|Years active
|13 years
Early lifeEdit
Mustafazadeh was born in Old City, the historic core of Baku, on March 16, 1940. His name was chosen by the renowned poet, Samed Vurgun, on the request of his mother, who was a piano teacher in local music school and played very influential and immeasurable role in his success.[6]
In 1963, he graduated from Baku State Musical School named after Asaf Zeynally and a year later accepted to Azerbaijan State Conservatoire. He first achieved fame at the Music School where he studied by giving concerts there, later on performing at the parties and evenings held at the universities and clubs, shortly after he became one of the most influential musical performers in Azerbaijan. While performing at the clubs, he mainly played classical jazz, as well as blues and dance music.
Soviet prohibitionEdit
Musical prohibitions during the 1940s and 1950s meant that the playing of jazz was banned in the USSR, including Azerbaijan. Since there was no opportunity to get jazz records from anywhere, Mustafazade listened to jazz pieces, learning from movies where he heard jazz music and BBC radio and sang Meykhana, rhythmic poetry, which had also been banned. After listening on the radio, he and his friend Vagif Samadoglu attempted to recreate the music on the piano.
Popularity and recognitionEdit
From the 1960s, prohibitions put on jazz music were gradually lifted and thus the late 1960s and 70s became a time when Baku was a real center of locally inspired jazz. By this time, Mustafazade was making his way to his audience and his popularity grew. His name was often mentioned among other jazz musicians and he participated in festivals held in his native land, as well as in and outside the Soviet countries. Since making a strong impression in his early years at college, his music progressed and popularity grew; he appeared in many festivals.
In 1966, Willis Conover, conductor of the "Jazz Time" radio program, even went as far as to say, "Vagif Mustafazadeh is an extraordinary pianist. It is impossible to identify his equal. He is the most lyrical pianist I have ever known.[2]
In 1965, he quit the conservatoire and went to Tbilisi to lead the "Orero" musical ensemble. Later he created the "Qafqaz" jazz trio at Georgian State Philarmony. In 1970 the "Leyli" women's quartet and in 1971 "Sevil" vocal-instrumental ensemble were assembled by him. Until 1977 he guided the groups. Between 1977-1979 until his death he led the "Mugham" instrumental ensemble which was also organized by him.Vagif attended "Tallinn-66" All-Soviet Union Jazz Festival and "Caz-69" Azerbaijani jazz festivals and was awarded as laureate there. Mustafazadeh was also elected as laureate at Donetsk All-Soviet Union Jazz Festival held in 1977. He was elected as the best pianist in "Tbilisi-78". He won first prize at the 8th International Competition of Jazz Composers for his composition "Waiting for Aziza" in Monaco in 1978, and was awarded a white grand piano, but died the next year. Vagif Mustafazadeh was named Honored Artist of Azerbaijan SSR and after his death was honoured with an Azerbaijani State Prize.
Jazz mughamEdit
Mustafazadeh is the founder of Azerbaijani jazz mugham movement that emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s in Baku, as a result of the mixture of these two styles. He began searching for new ways to structure his improvisations by exploring modal music. More innovative approaches were taken by him and its influence stretched into later developments of this style.
Mustafazadeh died of a heart attack shortly after a concert in Tashkent and also shortly before the birthdays of his wife (December 17) and daughter (December 19).
Personal lifeEdit
Mustafazadeh was married twice; from his first marriage he had a daughter named Lala, a talented classical pianist. She won the Grand Prize in the Epinal Piano Competition, France, in 1991. His second marriage was to Eliza, and from that union was born Aziza Mustafa Zadeh, also a jazz musician.[7]
His works and performance were praised by internationally known leading world musicians, such as Willis Conover and B.B. King. Once when King shared the same stage with Mustafazade, he heard him playing the blues piano and said nobody could play the blues like him and afterwards said to Vagif that "people call me the king of the blues, but if I could play the piano like you do, I would call myself God."[8]
More than three decades since Mustafazade's death, a larger number of his recordings from all periods of his career are more widely available in stores than at any time during his lifetime.
House museumEdit
With the initiative of Former Minister of Culture, Polad Bulbuloglu, Vagif Mustafazadeh's House museum was established. First, the museum was run by Jazzman's mother, Zivar khanum. Afterwards, she behested the museum to her niece, Afag. Afag Aliyeva has been head of the museum since 1997. In 2004, the expositions as well as the building of the museum was restored with her initiative. Beginning from 2004, the museum operates as a state museum under the control of Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan.[9]

What a lovely day. Sun was out, and what did I want to do go to the allotment.
Ah each time I take a peek into the greenhouse at the plot, I feed my soul with warm fuzzy feelings. Everything I have planted so far has germinated, the hispi and marner cabbages, white sprouting broccoli, even the parsnips which I sow in trays and then transplant into the ground have sprung from the soil. I have not yet succeeded with the method used by many growers, who dampen a tissue with the parsnip seeds and wait for them to germinate. I have tried this and been very patient, but the result has always been mould.
The peas I sowed in March are about two inches tall looking rather dainty. In my first year of allotment growing, I did grow some peas in guttering as recommended by the contributors of Gardeners World, but found it a hassle, so nowadays I grow the peas and the broad beans in saved toilet rolls; or tall slim pots. I know you can also buy these root trainer kits, but I have not yet purchased these as I think they are a bit expensive, so the toilet rolls it is for now. It's a good way to recycle and its environmentally friendly, as it also disintegrates quite quickly and naturally.
The broad beans are now plants in their own right, I think they are nearly ready to be planted out. They are about five inches tall and looking very grand. The tomato seedlings are starting to look sturdy. The one thing that should be transplanted out now and covered are the turnips. I know people sow such seeds directly into the grounds, but again I personally prefer to sow all my seeds in trays and then transplant them out. Why? Simply because that way I know they have germinated and have not been nabbed by some creature underground or bird above. I do this from experience.

Pupils interested in helping to run the Girls' Division student newspaper 'The View' or with an interest in journalism met with Saiqa Chaudhari, the Education Correspondent at The Bolton News, to pick up some great hints and tips.
Saiqa led an informal session, allowing the girls' interests to steer the conversation so that she could give them the best possible advice. She advocated the idea of using technology to get their voices out into the world: Creating a blog, and supplementing their written words with videos and photos, are valuable ways to gain experience and stretch their skills.
She also talked to the pupils about how to access a career in journalism and what kinds of postgraduate courses are sought after by potential employers. This was great advice for the girls, many of whom are currently considering university applications.
There was also more general conversation about the types of things Saiqa has had to do in her career, from the highs to the lows. She talked about the difficult experience of interviewing a murder victim's family on the night the murder took place, but also the fantastic opportunities she has had to talk to celebrities and sports stars and the thrill of breaking a story before anyone else. She was also able to tell them about the qualities a good journalist needs in order to succeed. The girls were really interested and used this opportunity to ask all of their questions about the world of journalism. One of the girls asked about writing for journals and industry magazines, and received some great tips about moving into this area. Saiqa suggested that, for those who are also interested in another career, pursuing that alternative and then writing articles for related magazines would be a great way to have the best of both worlds.
Saiqa was also able to look at the previous year's newspaper: she was very impressed with the style and content, and was able to give the girls some great hints about how to potentially improve in the future.

Strange Debate
My friend and I were having a conversation about chicken because I had brought up what I had for dinner last night. Dave likes roasted chicken and I DO NOT, on account of all the nasty bones and tendons and gristle and fat. Now I know this is cause for some debate because I KNOW that chicken on the bone has more flavour than just skinless boneless hunks of delicious poultry. So please do not think that I do not understand this, I do. Its just, to me, I get really sick to my stomach when you have to pop legs out of joints and scrape your teeth against wings and remove fat from your mouth while you are eating. I prefer my chicken to look like nothing other than a pretty pink NOTHING, a blank canvas if you will, something that allows me to add my own flavours to it that do not taste like rotting dead corpse. I mean, uhhh, right, I said that chicken with the bone in tastes good, right.
This not only goes for chicken, but for ALL types of meat. A hamburger doesn't look like a face, nor do I have to strip anything away from a carcass to enjoy the meat in my mouth (oh!). I obviously realize that SOMEONE had to do this before I was able to enjoy my faceless meat, but hey, that's their prerogative. I appreciate that I don't have to.
I guess this all stemmed from the fact that I didn't really enjoy meat when I was a kid. As soon as I was able to I started expressing the fact that I didn't like meat with fat or bones or any of that gory fun stuff. And then when I turned 15 I decided that I didn't want to eat it anymore (more for the fact that I felt bad about eating the animals but it helped that I didn't enjoy them). So I became a strict vegetarian for almost 15 years. My decision to eat meat again is just that, my own, but I am still unable to get away from the same things I found grody when I was a kid. Things that just like, totally gross me out the door and gag me with a spoon.
So yeah, that roasted chicken last night almost put me over the edge of not wanting to eat meat anymore. Not because I necessarily feel bad, but because I feel bad for my poor stomach when it tells me it wants to spread its contents all over my kitchen table.
So am I weird?

Ok, let's make some cat-persons seriously angry. Although we at Dog Notebook don't like to take sides as we love all animals equally, we do recognize certain benefits of having a canine friend over those bouncy but sly little furballs that are cats. Let's go over a few of them, one by one.
1. Dogs Are Smarter And Not As Clumsy
Although this one is often debated, majority of animal lovers consider dogs to be smarter and more brisk than cats.
Despite the fact that cats can do some seriously awesome stunts and jumps, dogs are overall much easier to train, teach them new tricks, and you don't exactly see them falling into fish tanks all the time.
You've probably seen our feline friends falling off couches, bookshelves, or running into glass doors. This is not the case with dogs.
Aside from learning tricks, being more obedient and less clumsy, dogs are actually proven to be as smart as 2-year-old children. Not to mention they work with the military, police department, and fire department, but more on that later in this article.

Anorexia struggle grows into in Edmonton-area support group
A Sherwood Park family's struggle with anorexia is now the inspiration behind a new support network.
Moyra McAllister, whose daughter Caitlin Holliday struggled with an eating disorder for several years before she began recovering, recently launched the Eating Disorder Support Network of Alberta.
During that time she spent endless hours online searching for ways to help Holliday, 22, she said.
"There are hundreds and hundreds of sites," McAllister said. "It's information overload. I was in a crisis mode. My child was extremely ill at that point. I wanted a simple answer."
Four years ago, Holliday's diet and exercise regime took a deadly turn. As the number on her weigh scale shrank, her heart rate became dangerously low.
"Even though you know it's bad and it's unhealthy and you know you could die ... it doesn't really cross your mind," she said.
Holliday is now back to a healthy weight and helping her mother with this new initiative — a hub of up-to-date treatment options and the latest research.

It can also be unknown whether or not the SUV driver was distracted while driving, drunk, or just just did not see the truck driver. What you may not get from any lawyer referral service, however, is insight into the lawyer's philosophy – as an illustration, whether or not the lawyer is willing to spend a couple of hours to be your legal coach or how aggressive the lawyer's character is. Don't make a decision a couple of bar referral lawyer till you've gotten met and interviewed her or him.
In most circumstances personal harm lawyers' charges are based mostly on a lot of elements akin to; time and energy spent on the case, the outcome of a case, the problem of a declare and the experience/prominence of a lawyer. The best thing to do in a situation like this is get in touch with an skilled private damage lawyer in your space. They fake to auto accident attorneys have experience and will assist victims to honest compensation.
Getting into any kind of motor vehicle accident is dangerous sufficient, but if you end up concerned in a crash that involves a tractor trailer or other commercial car, the repercussions can be devastating. If your worry is concerning the money it is advisable to pay for the profession payment of a Miami personal damage lawyer, then you may breathe nicely enough because a whole lot of this lawyers don't gather fees until they've represented you and until the case is close.

Fighting for the future of food / Deborah Koons Garcia's film documents how genetically engineered foods slipped into our supply
"Just about everybody is pretty serious about their chow," says Deborah Koons Garcia, enjoying the understatement. "Even if they don't eat good food, they're serious about their junk food."
No matter how serious they are, though, Garcia knows most people don't realize that genetically engineered foods have quietly slipped into much of the American food supply, mostly from corn and canola. They're in an estimated 60 percent of all processed foods.
She wants people to understand the risks, in her view, while there's still time.
"We are at a crossroads," says Garcia, fending off the wet affections of her three Dalmatians as she explains why she's spent the last three years and a chunk of what she calls her "Jerry money" making "The Future of Food," a documentary about GMO (genetically modified organism) foods. Though Garcia has made films all her life and runs her own production company, Lily Films, she is better known as the widow of Jerry Garcia, the legendary Grateful Dead lead singer and guitarist who died in 1995.
"Someone needed to make this film, because if this technology isn't challenged and if this corporatization of our whole food system isn't stopped, at some point it will be too late," says Garcia, her back to the sweeping ridgetop view from the Mill Valley home she and Jerry bought not long before he died. She went ahead with their plans to add on, and made her film with a staff of six in the vast downstairs room that would have been her husband's art studio.
"The Future of Food," finished in July, will get a special two-day screening at the Castro Theatre on Thursday and Friday.
The first night's showing is a benefit for Slow Food, the international society dedicated to wresting our breakfast, lunch and dinner back from industrialization. Introducing the film will be Alice Waters, local/seasonal food guru and a Slow Food International officer, and afterward, "Botany of Desire" author and UC Berkeley journalism professor Michael Pollan will lead a panel discussion on the issues it raises. Both Pollan and Waters are just back from Terra Madre, Slow Food's annual gathering in Turin, Italy, a center of organizing against GMO foods.
Appearing on the panel along with Garcia will be two of the anti-GMO authorities who appear in her film: Andrew Kimbrell, head of the Center for Food Safety in Washington, D.C., and Ignacio Chapela, an assistant professor at Berkeley, whose work tracking the invasion of American GMO corn into Mexico stirred a furor.
It will be the film's highest-profile showing in the Bay Area. It's been hot on the film festival circuit. And activists have been showing it all over the country, especially as part of campaigns to ban GMO crops in Marin, Butte and San Luis Obispo counties on Tuesday's ballot. Marin voters passed the ban, following Mendocino County's lead in March, but it went down in the other counties.
"The Future of Food" is Garcia's first major film project since regrouping from a barrage of lawsuits over her husband's estate. Jerry loved film, she said, and would approve of her using some of his money -- less than $1 million -- to make it. When they lived together in the '70s, he supported her craft and would take her around to see all the films "he considered must-sees for me as a filmmaker -- 'Shadows of Our Forgotten Houses,' 'The Thin Man.' "
"He was a closet director himself, and did do some rock-'n'-roll film directing of the Dead," she says. "A fact that almost no one knows is Jerry could sing many musicals literally from beginning to end -- 'Showboat,' 'South Pacific.' "
Telling the story of how she got to where she is, it's hard to believe she began making films more than 30 years ago, at the University of North Carolina, before heading to the Bay Area for a master's in fine arts from the San Francisco Art Institute. She looks a good decade younger than a child of the '60s, lithe with glossy dark hair, on this day wearing a simple white jersey pullover and white calf-length skirt over knee-high lavender Uggs.
Making films "was really just fun," she says. "I didn't think of it as a career."
She made "All About Babies," a series on early childhood development narrated by Jane Alexander, a feature film called "Poco Loco," and instigated and helped make "Grateful Dawg," about the musical collaboration of Jerry Garcia and David Grisman.
"The Future of Food" evolved out of her longtime interest in food and desire to make a "really serious film and do something that wasn't about me."
Garcia became a vegetarian when she was in college (she does eat fish now), and "became one of those organic people who are evangelical and totally boring -- you know, telling people every pound of beef takes 8,000 pounds of water. I'm better now."
But she's still hyperaware of the "consequences that certain food choices have on society and on the land and on people's health."
First, she thought about doing a film on pesticides. But her research led her to the genetic revolution of agriculture. Biotech breakthroughs allowed the gene-splicing of plants from different species or even plants and animals to create crops that resist disease or can withstand pesticides, even the "terminator" gene that kills off crop seeds after one season.
"It became clear that GMOs are really a much bigger issue ... And it was really clear that there hadn't been a really good film that told the whole story from the cellular, from the microscopic level, all the way up to the global, which was a huge challenge -- but I just thought that's what people need to know," Garcia says.
Her 90-minute documentary feels more educational than polemic -- though it expresses a strong point of view against letting new life forms loose on the land without long-term testing of the health effects and real government controls, especially labeling of foods.
It's an issue with special resonance in California, where the economy depends on agriculture and GMO crops are gaining a toehold. Test fields of grapes, cotton, rapeseed, alfalfa, wheat, onions, corn, rice and other fruits and vegetables have won permits for California. Nationally, 100 million acres of GMO crops -- mostly corn, soy, canola and cotton -- were under cultivation by 2003, according to the film.
The issues are complicated and technically daunting -- one reason people have a hard time grasping them. But Garcia threads a clear path through the history, science and politics of GMO foods to a clear call for action.
She sets her stage with nostalgic, black-and-white shots of traditional farming, before the "green revolution" of fertilizers, chemical pest-killers and mono-cropping grew out of World War II weapons research. Agriculture became industry, and then recombinant DNA technology upped the ante in the 1990s. Chemical companies like Monsanto created Roundup Ready canola, and Bt corn with a spliced-in gene that makes its own insecticide.
Garcia leads carefully from one point to the next -- showing how the chemical companies have succeeded in first patenting their own GMO seeds, and then slapping patents on a huge number of crop seeds, patenting life forms for the first time without a vote of the people or Congress.
To make the point, Garcia goes to Saskatchewan grain farmer Percy Schmeiser to tell his story. He's one of hundreds of grain farmers sued by Monsanto after the company's Roundup Ready canola drifted into his field.
Monsanto accused Schmeiser of violating its Roundup Ready patent, even though Schmeiser never planted the GMO canola and didn't want it in his field. He fought the suit where many other farmers settled, but lost, and must pay Monsanto to plant his next crop from his own seed.
Garcia travels with UC Berkeley's Ignacio Chapela to Mexico, where hundreds of varieties of corn thrive in different climates and soils, to show how GMO crops threaten such biodiversity. It was here that Chapela found controversial evidence that genes of GMO corn had already jumped the border to contaminate native species.
The uncontrolled spread of genetically engineered plants -- recently proven again with tests of GMO grasses -- far beyond the fields where they were planted is one of the strongest arguments the film makes for introducing safeguards.
The film questions why the U.S. government hasn't required GMO foods to undergo the rigorous testing required of medicines created by recombinant DNA technology, and why it has resisted efforts to require GMO labeling on foods, as Europe does.
Suggesting an answer, the film ticks off all the government officials who have links to Monsanto, including Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman and Attorney General John Ashcroft.
It also briefly debunks claims that GMO foods are the answer to world starvation.
Ultimately, the film is a call to action -- for people to think more about the consequences of their food choices and to use their consumer power to push for labeling and regulation.
While some people are seeking to ban GMOs, Garcia thinks labeling would drive GMO foods off the market, as it has in Europe.
"I want people to watch the film and say we have to stop this," says Garcia.
Long gone are the days when Garcia believed "we could have our healthy foods over here, and they could have their food over there. You do your thing and I do mine."
With genetic engineering, she says, "You can't drop out anymore -- it'll come and get us."
"The Future of Food," at the Castro Theatre, Thursday and Friday, Nov. 11- 12. Thursday's 7 p.m. screening is a benefit for Slow Food; tickets are $10, available in advance at the theater or at www.ticketweb.com . Panel discussion to follow with Michael Pollan, Deborah Koons Garcia, Andrew Kimbrell and Ignacio Chapela. Post-party hosted by Om Organics at Lime, 2247 Market St.; tastes of organic foods, wine, beer; $10 in advance from www.omorganics.org ; $15 at door if available. Benefit for Om Organics programs in the Bay Area.

Windows Thin PC: True benefit or more of the same?
Has the solution to the "Windows 7: To VDI or not to VDI" dilemma finally arrived? Suddenly Microsoft's July extension of VDI use rights as part of their Software Assurance licensing benefits comes into focus. With the release of Windows Thin PC, or WinTPC, Microsoft simplifies the debate for users already enrolled in the Software Assure Program.
Whereas other users have to pay an extra cost for Windows Virtual Desktop Access subscriptions to use thin-client devices, future users of WinTPC won't have to buy a VDA license, as explained by Gavriella Schuster, General Manager for the Windows Commercial business, in the Windows Team blog:
WinTPC is a smaller footprint, locked down version of Windows 7, designed to allow customers to repurpose their existing PCs as thin clients. PCs with WinTPC will not require the VDA license that regular thin clients will need to access VDI desktops. WinTPC is expected to be available for download from the Microsoft Connect Site in Q1 2011.
This benefit approach is Microsoft's way of helping companies maximize technology investments by lowering or eliminating the up-front costs of thin clients to be used for VDI as well as the cost of licensing. Another concern for Microsoft, as outlined by Karri Alexion-Tiernan in a blog post, is to address the shrinking budgets for new devices. Allowing customers to utilize existing PCs frees up some of that budget to be spent "towards devices that offer more functionality and flexibility, such as new Windows 7 PCs, tablets, or slates." While there is much skepticism from the experts, WinTPC is nonetheless slated to be released this month. More announcements are to be made tomorrow, so we'll update you on any news.
Is Microsoft going to be too late to the tablet party?
While the iPad infiltrated the consumer market before sneaking its way into the enterprise – to many people's chagrin and still only with a sliver of enterprise users – perhaps Microsoft is taking the backwards approach: Enter the enterprise market with Windows-equipped tablets after the market is full-fledged and saturated. Hey, it worked with their mobile timeline, right?
What do you think of WinTPC? Not impressed by Microsoft's unending attempts to lock users in? Let us know in the comments section or send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

LWF World Service in Angola supports refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Ongoing armed conflict between the government forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Kamuena Nsapu militia faction in Lunda Norte Province have triggered large displacements. As of April 2018, UNCHR reports that the population of concern in Angola reached 39,000 (primarily refugees and asylum seekers). In addition, 11,000 new arrivals are expected in 2018, mostly from the Kasai Region in DRC..
The situation in the camps is delicate as the access to basic services is limited. The situation is further compounded by the fact that the camps are over-crowded causing a lack of shelter, food, relief goods and poor sanitation. Protection is an issue as there are unaccompanied minors and violations of human rights, particularly with regards to the risk of repatriation.
ACT Angola Forum through the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) have responded to the ongoing crisis and provided basic needs such as shelter, water and sanitation, food, relief goods, protection of children, human rights and health care assistance for life-saving. UN Agencies such as UNHCR and UNICEF have already deployed their response, as have a number of other international NGOs.
We are proud to be the longest serving international NGO in the country since establishing relief operations in 1986. Since the 27-year civil war ended in 2002, the people of Angola have worked to rebuild their nation and resettle close to five million people who fled the conflict. While peace over the past decade has set the scene for development at the country level, LWF's priority in eastern Angola is helping the most vulnerable realize their most basic rights.
With the diversification of the Angolan economy, large land occupation is becoming a growing threat in Moxico province. LWF has been supporting 32 villages to raise their awareness on land laws and accompany them in registering their farmers' association lands as well as community land. LWF is following-up on cases of land conflicts, providing support to the communities and enhancing their means of getting their voice heard, up to the national level where needed. LWF has also started to play a crucial role in bringing together civil society organizations working on land issues to articulate their voice and work more closely with the relevant Ministries to bring about policy reforms and an effective implementation of the land laws for the benefit of communities.
One of the most promising aspects of the LWF's work is the long-term success found in creating village development committees.
Starting in 2006 – when no committees existed at the village level in LWF areas – we began working to organize communities to take responsibility for their own livelihoods and food security.
We facilitate opportunities for farmers' associations to access government micro-credit schemes and agricultural resources by creating connections between village committees and the local government. In addition, we train communities in new farming techniques, vegetable gardening, and small business practices.
We also combine this effort with literacy training and are proud that the majority of our literacy students are women.
In 2015, the LWF introduced a new community empowerment project focusing on safeguarding land rights - an important precondition for food security. In an attempt to resolve long-standing land issues in Angola resulting still from the country's colonial legacy, Angola enacted a new land law in 2004. More than 10 years later, the impact of the land is yet to be seen on the ground. Increased interest for agricultural land has complicated the situation for local communities, whose land largely remains subject to customary laws. LWF has started a project with communities in Moxico province, supporting people in the following areas:

Help us make a difference in the lives of people in need in Angola and other places throughout the world.

Cell polarity
Miguel Ángel Alonso
Research summary:
Cell polarity is fundamental to the functioning of most types of cell. Our group's aim is to advance our knowledge of the cell polarization process through the functional characterization of protein machinery involved in the generation and maintenance of cell polarization. Hepatocytes, T lymphocytes and epithelial cells are our preferred model cell systems. Special emphasis is placed on the functional characterization of the specialized transport pathways mediated by members of the MAL protein family and associated proteins in these cell types.
The primary cilium is a single appendage that projects from the cell surface of most vertebrate cells. One of the main features of primary cilia is that, unlike the motile cilia of multiciliary cells or of cells that use cilia or flagella for movement, they are non-motile. Important signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, survival and migration, such as Hedgehog, Wnt, Notch, signaling, are orchestrated in the primary cilium. Dysfunction of the cilium is associated with a long list of human developmental and degenerative disorders, collectively referred to as ciliopathies, that affect nearly every major body organ.
Our group has recently discovered that the remnant of the midbody, also known as the Flemming body, a structure that forms in the middle of the intercellular bridge during cytokinesis, plays an essential role in this process. In polarized epithelial cells, once the intercellular bridge is cleaved at one site, the midbody is inherited as a remnant by one of the daughter cells. The remnant moves along the apical membrane from a peripheral to a central position, where the centrosome has already docked. Once the two structures have met, the midbody enables the centrosome to form a primary cilium by a mechanism that is currently being investigated in our laboratory. In addition to developing a new model of primary cilium biogenesis, our work has established a functional connection between the three main microtubule-based cell compartments: the centrosome, the midbody and the primary cilium.
Figure 1. The midbody remnant enables the centrosome for primary cilium formation. (A) The images correspond to3D reconstructions of cells stably expressing cherry-tubulin that were filmed during cell division.The images were pseudocolored based on height using the color scale on the left to highlight that the intracellular bridge forms at the top of the cells and that the post-mitotic midbody remnant localizes after abcission at a peripheral position at the apical surface. The arrowhead points to the post-mitotic midbody. An enlargement of the boxed region at 0 min and 80 min is also shown. (B) Three-dimensional reconstruction of images obtained by videomicroscopic analysis of cells expressing GFP-tubulin (midbody remnant and primary cilium) and dsRed-centrin (centrosome) during the movement of the midbody to encounter the centrosome for primary cilium formation. The green and red arrowheads point to the midbody remnant and the centrosome, respectively.

I Need Less of a Life…
too busy.. TEW BUSY. aye…
You all would have seen this on facebook if you know me on that, but this will be re-post, AND a few extra (sorta long) updates.. What they are, you need to scroll down to see~
If Maya…
A humorous drabble compilation
[Introduced Klein and Cline]
[88 words]
The two stared intently at each other, studying, analyzing; concluding. They circled the room like hawks, one bearing an insincere smile and fox eyes, the other fine, black strands and intelligent glasses.
"So, your name's Klein hmm?"
"So, your name's Cline hmm?"
They both flashed a roguish grin and sat down on a conveniently placed couch, eyes shining with an unholy light when they started to chuckle to themselves.
"Introducing them was a bad idea, huh?"
So the two bystanders ran off into the distance.
[Was in a Fairy Tale]
[117 words]
The girl with long black hair and a red cloak walked down the forest path, carrying a basket covered with a red striped cloth. She hummed quietly to herself, not paying attention to her surroundings, and so, did not see the wolf that crept up beside her. Opening his mouth, the wolf was readying himself to ask a famous question.
"Where are you going, lit-"
He howled in pain, and looked at the oversized gun the girl in red produced from her basket.
"I'm not little, you overgrown excuse of a mutt."
The moral of the story is, carry firearms with you while frolicking in the forest. Oh, and of course, don't piss off little girls.
[Finally got a Sword]
[111 words]
Dem fruits better watch out then.
She swung the shiny sharp object around with movie sound effects, and the fruit splattered with a distinct squelsh. Red, orange, green, yellow, and plum coloured the fence and grass, and fruit carnage was spread through the entire yard. The neighbours cowered in fear of getting fruit flesh on their things, and every bird flew south in fear of getting their heads removed from their shoulders.
Maya was playing fruit ninja. IRL.
She blanched and ran off, escaping the wrath of Mom.
[Got Eaten]
[189 words]
She poked the side wall, then scrambled back when it twitched inward. The boat rocked dangerously in the acid, almost tipping its cargo into the bubbling concoction. (Actually, no one knows why the boat didn't melt, or why it was there in the first place.)
Getting a stupid idea, she reached into her jean pocket and produced…
A FREAKING HUGE PAINTBALL GUN. How she managed to store that in the pocket of girl-jeans, nobody knows. She claims it's because she's magical.
Then, going all trigger-happy and stuff, she spun in a circle and shot everything she could see. The lake convulsed, and moved upwards in a great heave.
"Ewww! I'm covered in dino stomach acid!"
She whipped around and shook her finger at the confusedly blinking t-rex.
"You! I'm taking you back to the Jurassic! They all told me it was a bad idea to get a pet dinosaur. But did I listen? Noooo! So then I get eaten" With a sparkly poof, the dinosaur was magiked back to its hole in the ground.
"What are you looking at, y'stupid reporters?!"
They all walked away, mumbling about pet dinosaurs.
[Was put in a Senior Home]
[111 words]
A soup bowl flew through the air, hitting the attendant square in the face with impeccable aim.
"YOU CALL THIS CHICKEN SOUP? WHERE THE HELL IS THE CHICKEN?!" An old lady stood with a scowl, "Bring back another with chicken in it!"
With a huff, she sat back down with a flurry of peppered long hair and waited with a deepening frown. When the poor girl came back bearing soup, the old lady took a sip, "Why is this cold? You useless child!" then flung the bowl onto the wall, staining the wallpaper a splotchy yellow.
Seventy years later, Maya is still terrorizing people.
[Was a Teacher]
[401 words]
Twenty-seven children waited silently in the classroom; at least half of them were trembling.
Someone was late.
Five and three quarter tense minutes ticked by since the first bell rang, five and three quarter minutes late. Neither teacher nor student showed.
Another four minutes passed.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and in came the teacher holding the offensive late child by her ponytail a foot off the ground. She glared down through black frame glasses with an impassive face.
Then she smiled; a sharp toothed, terrifying smile.
"All of you unconformable miscreants: get out and run thrice around the field. Anyone who is slower than five minutes won't like whatever is coming." Every single soul flew out the door, rushing past a visiting teacher coming to borrow supplies. He blinked at the leftover dust cloud and ran a hand through his mussed hair.
"Why are they all going outside? Isn't it Language Arts at the moment?"
Maya gave an honest looking smile, and answered. "I'm letting then expend their energy so they can focus better though the day, besides, it's a nice day outside; I think they deserve it." Then she feigned a distant glance out the window.
The other teacher laughed, "No wonder all of the students that are in your class do so well, not even a single one has had anything below excellence, in academics as well as in athletics! Even the parents are amazed by the changes!"
Glancing at the time, and seeing that it's been almost three minutes, she decided that it was time for the guest to leave. "Well, I believe that I should join them outside, I understand that you require the paints?" She walked to the back of the classroom, and handed the two stacked containers with art supplies to the taller man.
"Odd, I don't think I told her what I came here for… Oh well, must be a woman thing."
One by one the children trickled in, and three unfortunate students fell after the five minute mark.
"You three. You must not think that I'll actually punish you hmm?" She grabbed a ruler and brought it down hard on the three's heads, multiple times. "Everyone get back to work, and if you three don't finish each and every exercise, I'll be making you sit in a bath of icy water. The entire day."
No one dared to be late after that.
[Was a Teacher for 'Trouble Students']
[332 words]
A grey haired teacher stepped into the classroom full of thrown papers and loud voices screaming obscenities at each other. He ran a hand through his salt and pepper hair while turning to a shorter, younger instructor behind him. The door closed behind him and he heaved a sigh.
"Well, you'll be working with them for the rest of the year… I had gone grey because of them…" and indeed he had, because for someone to have a headful of grey hairs at the age of 30 isn't normal. "Good luck…"
Maya gave him a chilling grin, "don't worry, it's not for me you need to fear, it's for them." Then she laughed, pushed the door open, and stared at the children in the room, pinning them with a glare that said "if you all don't shut up right now I will use you for biology class' dissection unit".
The room fell into a hush, and all stared at the new addition to the class.
"What, do we have a new student?"
A tick appeared on Maya's head, "No, you bunch of maggots; I'm here to make you all listen to authority. If you don't listen to me, I will make you suffer." The tick became a twitch when the people in the room completely ignored her.
"Look, I don't give a shit about how teachers are not supposed to spew profanities, and I couldn't care less about the rule that says I can't harm students, because you'll have no proof." Her personality did a one-eighty and she grinned widely, "Now, get those textbooks out and we'll start with Mathematics. I don't care about how much you have not learned. If you sleep, you will fail. Now…page 193, unit four. If you don't understand, look it up tonight, if you don't know it next week, I'll whip you."
At the end of the year, everyone was stunned that each and every single one of them got full marks on their final exams.
Has it been forever? I think it has xD
HELLO! *echos*
I shall be doing (hopefully) a drabble series called "If Maya…" concerning what would happen if I was flung into different situations. They're not going to be longer than 200 words, I dun think.
It's going to be strange and badly written. BUT WHO CARES, 'TWAS STRESS RELIEF~
So far, my ideas include:
-was a teacher (hide your children xD)
-was transported into the naruto universe (sharp objects!)
-plotted to take over the world
-actually took over the world
-had a twin
-finally cracks
-could fly
-was an elder sister
-was a younger sister
-was a mother (O.o)
-didn't exist (nuuuu)
-was shrunk
-was taller (finally)
-ate too much sugar
-moved to a warmer place
-lived on the moon
-had a camera on the way to hell
-was a tree (wait, what?)
-divided by 0
-was a vampire
-gone to the D. Grey universe
-could jump roofs
-was not Maya (dun dun dun)
-got shorter
Add to the list xD
first in the "If Maya…" series: introduced Klein and Cline (former is my character, latter is a friend)
88 words. Props to Cline (whose last name shall remain undisclosed because he doesn't want stalkers, despite the fact that no one will want to stalk him)
The two stared intently at each other, studying, analyzing; concluding. They circled the room like hawks, one bearing an insincere smile and fox eyes, the other fine, black strands and intelligent glasses.
"So, your name's Klein hmm?"
"So, your name's Cline hmm?"
They both flashed a roguish grin and sat down on a conveniently placed couch, eyes shining with an unholy light when they started to chuckle to themselves.
"Introducing them was a bad idea, huh?"
So the two bystanders ran off into the distance.

"DON'T SELL US OUT" Declare LGBTQ Advocates Ask Allies To Reject Compromise Deal on HB2
(RALEIGH) The Human Rights Campaign and its North Carolina partner, Equality North Carolina, today urged North Carolina lawmakers to reject a backroom "deal" that would repeal North Carolina's HB2 law. This week GOP leaders and Governor Cooper have been in continued negotiations to draft compromise bill that would pass both chamber of the North Carolina General Assembly. LGBT advocates said that the most recent proposal would specifically prohibit cities from passing non-discrimination ordinances allowing people to access facilities in accordance with their gender identity, and it would further prohibit municipalities from passing other LGBTQ non-discrimination protections through 2020.

Life After Life
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
Hebrews 9:27
"And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."
Daniel 12:2
It is odd to me that people rarely speak plainly when it comes to talking about the judgement of Christ and what happens afterwards. It seems that some wish to make this event so awesome or so terrifying that the real facts of the matter are obscured. Here, briefly, is what is really going on.
The truth is that you are not mortal… only your body is. What is housed in your body is an eternal spirit (you) along with an eternal soul (also you.) The combination of your spirit and soul is the real you and it cannot die. When your body dies, your soul and spirit do not cease to exist, but rather you wait in a place called Sheol along with everyone else until the day of judgement. Just before the great judgement you are resurrected, reunited with your body (which is now glorified and made immortal too) and stand before the judgement seat of Christ to be weighed in the balances of God. No one escapes this, be they great or small, rich or poor, young or old. At this time you are judged according to the things that you have done, good or evil, during your lifetime. A record of everything you do has been kept and will be reviewed by Jesus to determine your degree of judgement or reward. Then, Jesus will check to see if your name is in the Lamb's book of life. If your name is found in the book, your sins will not be held against you and you will be accepted into heaven for eternity. If your name is not found listed in the Lamb's book of life, you must pay the penalty for your sins and you will be cast into the lake of fire forever.
The lake of fire was created to be a punishment for Lucifer (now called Satan) and the angels that rebelled against God in a time before this creation. Hell is eternal because it was created to punish eternal beings. It was never meant for mankind, but if a man chooses to rebel and serve Satan then he will suffer his same fate.
Conversely, the reason it is good to accept Jesus Christ is that you will be welcomed into heaven as a friend. You will live forever with Jesus, His Father God, and the other people who are saved. All the pain and suffering you have experienced in this world will fade from memory like a bad dream. There will be no sickness, no death, and no sorrow. You will experience total love and acceptance for eternity.
What is generally not known is that everyone will be resurrected and receive an immortal body…not only the just. Those who are taken to heaven will live forever in the New Heavens and New Earth and those who are cast into the lake of fire will live forever in eternal torment away from the presence of God. Once you are in either place that is it: your lot has been cast and you will forever live with that choice.
There are no second chances, no do-overs, no back doors. After judgement has been rendered there are only two possible outcomes. No one who goes to heaven will ever leave (of course, why would they) and no one who is cast into the lake of fire will ever escape that torment (for it is impossible to do so.) You only have this life to decide your fate and after that you cannot change that decision. If you die without accepting Christ, Hell is your only possible future. The choice is entirely yours. Their is no such thing as fate or predestination because God has given all men and women free will to decide to accept or reject His Son Jesus Christ.
Their are some who doubt that people are really cast into a literal lake of fire. I say this is moot point because if these descriptions are not literal it is only because our earthly language lacks the ability to describe their true horror. If it is not a "lake of fire" the reality of that place is actually much much worse…the only problem is we cannot imagine or describe it.
In conclusion, these are the facts of the matter. You cannot escape them for they will find you. You only have one life (what is left of it anyway) to accept or reject Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. All will find that there were no excuses for not accepting the free gift of God (His Son) given by His grace and love to anyone and everyone who will accept Him. Jesus choose to die in your place because He knew it was the only way that you could make heaven your home. He knew it was the only way He could save you from everlasting torment.
Here is a anonymous quote:
"The consequences of today are determined by the actions of the past. To change your future alter your decisions today."
As long as you are alive, the future (good or bad), is not set in stone. It is written,
"For God says, "Your cry came to me at a favorable time, when the doors of welcome were wide open. I helped you on a day when salvation was being offered." Right now God is ready to welcome you. Today he is ready to save you."
2 Corinthians 6:2 (the living bible)
God may know whether or not you will make heaven your home, but the decision to go there is strictly your own. If you have read this far then you now know the truth: what you do with it is up to you.

September 3, 2009, Moscow. – In compliance with the airworthiness directive by the European Aviation Security Agency effective as of September 07 2009, Aeroflot will, in four months' time, replace 2 out of 3 total pressure probes (air speed probes) manufactured by Thales to probes by Goodrich on three А330-200 aircrafts received in late 2008 – early 2009.
The new А330-200 airliners which are going to be received by the company after September 04 will be equipped with probes complying with the new technical requirements.
А330-200 aircrafts have a flying range of up to 1,500 km, can accommodate 241 passengers, and are used by the world's leading air carriers in the long-haul segment. The aircrafts are equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 772 engines.
The new А330-200 liners received by Aeroflot come in a two-class layout, with 34 business-class and 207 economy-class seats. The aircrafts are equipped with the IFE system Panasonic eX 2 with wide-screen video monitors 9'' to 16'' in size built in each chair, which allows using multi-channel video and audio programs. The business class compartments are equipped with foldable "cocoon" chairs. The economy-class has a larger inter-row space for a more comfortable accommodation of passengers.
The company intends to operate А330s on both international and domestic routes.
Currently, А330s fly to Beijing, Habana, Vladivostok, Tokyo and London.

Wow airlines was free
the best
I absolutely loved my wow airlines flight I can't even begin to describe; they were so welcoming and accommodating; I mean, a company the went bankrupt open up operations just for me to salvage a multi-thousand dollar trip I planned to Europe over 6 months ago, that otherwise would have left me without 60 percent of those funds and other investments i made into my trip otherwise non refundable! I'm so happy. Oh, wait... the former didn't happen and the latter did...
Thank you for holding the plane so we could make our connection after the strike in Brussels!
Great price
Staff was great and I loved the flight attendant uniforms.
I don't know why they have such bad ratings, everything was pretty clear on their site as to what you had to pay. We still got off cheaper than other airlines!
The one negative was having to pay for WATER on the plane. That's a basic human necessity...charging for it seems a bit greedy of the airline.

A few years ago, Bruce Springsteen came out with a song called "We Take Care of Our Own." The chorus's theme seemed upbeat and proud: We take care of the people closest to us. But like in a lot of Springsteen songs (including "Born in the U.S.A."), the lyrics in the verses sit in tension with the lyrics in the chorus.
In the verses, it's clear that taking care of our own also means not taking care of people who are not our own, like the victims of Katrina. Suddenly the phrase "We Take Care of Our Own" has an exclusivist, menacing and even racist tinge.
That phrase and the two different meanings it can have sit at the center of election 2016.
Donald Trump's supporters stand for the first meaning. America's first loyalty is to its own workers, its own culture, its own citizens.
This worldview is not just selfishness. For most of human history most people have prized coherent communities above all. They've built moral systems on loyalty and support for their own kin and fellow citizens. These bonds are not based on some abstract social contract. They are intimate bonds, born out of shared kinship, history, geography and common understandings of right and wrong.
People committed to coherent communities will fight to defend the norms that hold communities together. They accept immigrants who assimilate to existing culture, but they'll be suspicious of those who they feel bring in incompatible customs and tear at the social fabric.
For eons, this was more or less the traditional moral system for most of the human race. But as the N.Y.U. social psychologist Jonathan Haidt points out in an outstanding essay in The American Interest, over the past several decades a different mind-set has emerged.
People with this mind-set value the emancipated individual above the cohesive community. They value, or at least try to value, self-expression, social freedom and diversity. Their morality is not based on loyalty to people close to them; it's based on a universal equality for all humans everywhere.
People with this mind-set disdain the political or religious walls that divide people. In his essay, Haidt cites John Lennon's song "Imagine" as an expression of this worldview:
Imagine there's no countries; it isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.
People with this mind-set bridle at the exclusivist implications of the line "We Take Care of Our Own." It's fine to value Americans, but we should also take in the immigrant and be multilateral in our foreign relations.
Haidt argues that the division between these two camps is a division between the nationalists and the globalists. It's also between the moral particularists and the moral universalists, between those who believe that blood and historic ties take precedence and those who, like the philosopher Peter Singer, argue that you have the same moral obligation to a boy starving to death in South Sudan as to a boy drowning in the lake in front of you.
For decades the globalist/universalist mind-set — pro-immigration, pro-globalization — has been on the march. Now, with Trump, the particularists are striking back. Immigration is the subject that fuels their ire.
As Haidt writes, "By the summer of 2015 [when the Syrian refugee crisis hit] the nationalist side was already at the boiling point, shouting 'enough is enough, close the tap,' when the globalists proclaimed, 'let us open the floodgates, it's the compassionate thing to do, and if you oppose us you are a racist.' Might that not provoke even fairly reasonable people to rage?"
The fact is that both mind-sets have their virtues. The particularists emphasize the intimate love and loyalty that is the stuff of real community. The universalists are moved by injustices anywhere, and morally repulsed by inaction and indifference in the face of that suffering.
The tragedy of this election is that America already solved this problem. Unlike France and China, we were founded as a universalist nation. You can be fiercely patriotic and relatively open because America was founded to take in people from around the globe and unite them around something new.
Unfortunately, the forces of multiculturalism destroyed that commitment to cultural union. That has led to Trump, who has upended universalistic American nationalism and replaced it with European blood and soil nationalism in a stars and stripes disguise.
The way out of this debate is not to go nationalist or globalist. It's to return to American nationalism — espoused by people like Walt Whitman — which combines an inclusive definition of who is Our Own with a fervent commitment to assimilate and Take Care of them.

The Knot Prayer
Sometimes, worry and misplaced expectations can get us tangled up in knots. Here's a little prayer to help us to give all the the "nots" that "knot" us up to God.
Dear God,
Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart, and my life.
Remove the have nots, cannots, and the do nots.
Erase the will nots, may nots, might nots that may find a home in my heart.
Release me from the could nots, would nots, and should nots that obstruct my life.
And most of all, dear God, I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart, and my life all fo the "am nots" that I have allowed to hold me back. Especially the thought that I am not good enough.
