Shouts and sirens drowned the urgent chatter on Jeff Mutton's two-way. The diplomatic security agent shut his catalogue – women's footwear – and grabbed the phone. "What is it?" he demanded of the Marine standing post.
"National Guard up and down the street. I've zero visibility at Alpha gate."
"What's the problem?"
"Saudi troop transport parked in front of the camera."
The radio blasted static. More chatter. Mutton didn't understand the Arabic, not even after two years in the Kingdom. But he understood his crawling nerves and the prickling hairs on the back of his neck. He turned down the radio and paced like a bulldog, restrained by the phone's short leash. Squat, muscular, square-shouldered, Jeff Mutton resembled a bulldog: no neck, a glower, a crewcut.
"Lock us down now!" he ordered. "No one in or out. I want everyone under a desk." Everyone meant a score of souls at the American Consulate, a bitch of a situation in the bald desert heat, Saudi militants all around. "I'll get Hassan to work the truck. Give me one minute, then hit the duck and cover."
More sirens as Mutton dialed. Popping: gunfire. "What do you make of it?" he asked his deputy.
"Interior Ministry," said the cool Yemeni. "Going after their fifty most wanted."
Mutton knew the neighborhood. A maze of old buildings opposite his compound. "Can you reach Ghani? His truck's blocking our view at Alpha gate. We need –"
– the hi-low alarm wailed, obliterating all other sound, Mutton's voice included. "Dammit!" he shouted. "Meet me at Post One!"
Mutton crouched behind his desk and locked the footwear catalogue in a drawer with his Bible. He spider-crawled to the Mosler safe and grabbed his Sig Sauer P229. He eyed the shotgun rack, decided he was going outside, and grabbed his short-barreled Colt. He slid a polished black holster onto his belt and locked an 11-round clip in the Sig. He took his Kevlar vest off a peg and shouldered in.
Mutton pushed through the heavy door to the lobby. There stood Hassan, the big Yemeni majestic in his floor-length thobe. No Kevlar. Cool.
Mutton signaled and Decker released the locks on the heavy ballistic doors. Mutton pushed out. Shouts and sirens filled the afternoon. The heat pressed down as Mutton crouched along toward the gate. Hassan moved beside him, erect and unaffected.
"Not a drill," Mutton told the guards in the control room. He looked out the ballistic door separating his secure environment from the threat outside. National Guard lorry in front. Squad cars at either end of the street. Masked soldiers guarding an empty prison wagon. Up and down the street goons from Interior carried themselves like cops anywhere: glowering and severe, thick black mustaches drooping like frowns, sharp noses and heavy foreheads over thick-lidded eyes. They gathered in clusters and spoke into radios, handguns in black leather holsters, straps crossing at the back of their white thobes.
"What do you make of it?" he asked Hassan, stalling, unwilling to go out.
"Standard round up."
Mutton looked again. Up the street to the left the mosque, minaret peering over his wall. Behind the mosque the Kingdom Hospital, it's glass façade rising twenty stories above his 40-acre compound. Mutton looked for Ghani.
"There!" A Filipino guard pointed with his radio.
A line of bearded men, bound at wrist and ankle, marched toward the prison wagon. They wore short, dirty thobes. They walked in a hobbled line.
"Terrorists," Mutton said, unconvinced.
Hassan Ali lifted his chin. "Ghani."
Mutton saw the handsome commander emerge from Hajrayn. He moved fluidly, a man most at ease raiding terrorist safe houses.
Mutton radioed Post One to kill the alarm and unlock the door. An eerie silence settled. Ghani stepped in and the Marine locked it back down.
"My friend," Ghani said. He hadn't broken a sweat. "You like it?"
"Not in my front yard, no."
"Not to worry, my good friend. It is protection. To keep our best allies safe." Ghani's eyes twinkled. Stubble darkened his cheeks.
Mutton hated having to trust Ghani. "What's going on?"
"We had a tip."
"You couldn't warn me?"
Ghani shook his head. "I am sorry. Eyes and ears everywhere."
Mutton understood. He also eavesdropped. "What have you found besides prisoners?"
"My good friend. We will do forensics on the crime scene."
"Weapons? Explosives? Maps? Any leads on what they were watching?"
"We will persuade them to talk."
"The consulate?"
"As yet, I do not know. You can't rule it out."
"Commander Ghani, the truck –"
– Loud pops erupted. POP POP POP. Ministry agents rushed in packs toward the intersection, toward the gunfire. POP POP POP. Ghani whirled and pushed the door but it didn't budge. He pushed until Mutton pulled him back. Both men watched through the blast-resistant glass – agents rushing into Hajrayn, weapons drawn.
Mutton lost his breath before he heard the blast. They all hit the deck. On the street now agents ran from the intersection. A cloud of dust and smoke, then a thick plume, pushed out from the maze and up over the buildings opposite the consulate.

Grannom Sedge (Brachycentrus sp.)
This is widespread and abundant spring-time sedge from running waters. It hatches on the open water. Huge swarms can be seen above the high and mid altitude rivers. Waterside bushes and bridges can be buried with grannoms.
Length of the wings can vary between 6 to 11 millimeters. The body is grayish with green or brown tone. Characteristically, the female has a pouch with green eggs on the abdomen, which will lay walking under water.
Fly Fishing For Asp 1
The Loud Attacker
It's a fish that makes you really excited. When this predator attacks small fish, it looks like the two crocodiles are fighting on the water surface.
There are other predator-fish in Europe, but none of these can compare to the only cyprinid-fish-eater. Huchen, pike, wels, trout…they are too quiet, slow and unattractive attackers compares to asp.
"Crazy" asp is banging, twirling, jumping, tail-walking…and doing it very often. Sometimes, I can't understand how other fish in the pool can live with that hooligan.
The Fair Fighter
Asp don't use shelters to attack like other European predators. He grab the prey on the open water, chasing it in small groups and using special strategy and tactics. They are very fast, sharp-eyed and intelligent , so they use only that advantages to hunt.
So, asp is not insidious killer, but open fighter. It should be appreciated.
Good thing for us is that asp don't look for shelter neither when is hooked!
Asp is inhabitant of lowland mid to large rivers of European continent. Most people called him "warm water" species. This is an advantage for those who love heat. Wading in warm water, without waterproof equipment, is real pleasure. Exactly the same as wading tropical saltwater flats. Of course, it is possible only during the summer.
Fly Fishermen often make mistakes when choosing equipment for asp. The most common mistake is choosing heavy equipment. This fish doesn't require heavy flies and it's not a strong and explosive fighter on the hook. Sometimes it's good to cast further, but it can be done without problem with aftma class #5- #6 for single-handed rods and #6-#7 two-handed rods. As a matter of fact, asp is very scary and ware of rough presentation and line.
Believe it or not, my favorite fly rod for asp is 9 feet #5, the same rod I fish trout. Of course, my favorite rivers are wadeable and less then 50m wide.
Asp can be caught on all types of flies, but mostly on streamer. You can catch him on nymph, wet fly or dry fly, but if you are serious in intent to hook the big asp, streamer is the best choice.
Asp eats small white fish, so the best streamers are light colored. You can mix white with yellow, pink, chartreuse…but you won't miss if you tie a pure white streamer.
Size of the streamer may vary. It usually depends on the water level and color. Daytime, weather conditions, water and stripping speed… are important too. Smaller streamers in # 10 – 4 are better in low, clear water, sunny weather, quiet pools… Larger streamers are good for riffles, upstream casting, fast stripping, cloudy weather…
Streamers shouldn't be heavy. On the contrary, they should almost swim on the surface. During the summer, asp is surface hunter, and streamers should be just 10-20 cm under…

JACOB SOBOROFF: What's up, guys? Today is all about
pranks and whether or not they've gone too far. LIZZIE: Ye– MALE SPEAKER: Ohohoh! You just got pranked. JACOB SOBOROFF:
That's not a prank. LIZZIE: No, that was assault. MALE SPEAKER: No,
this is a salt. LIZZIE: That is pepper. MALE SPEAKER: Is it? Oh, double prank! JACOB SOBOROFF: Get out of here. [MUSIC PLAYING] There's a pretty major
YouTube prankster in the news right now. LIZZIE: Mhm. JACOB SOBOROFF: Sam Pepper went
to the Third Street Promenade, and he had a fake
arm that looked like his hand was in his pocket. But then with his real hand,
he would ask women questions to distract them, and then
reach over and grab their butts. Sam Pepper's prank was
immediately taken down, but What's Trending
posted this report on it. LIZZIE: He received a huge
backlash, immediately, on Twitter, and from a
bunch of different YouTubers calling it sexual abuse
because, of course. JACOB SOBOROFF:
Hank Green posted that he wouldn't be
welcome at VidCon. LIZZIE: He did post another
video, basically saying that, like, oh, of course
sexual abuse is not OK. It's not what I was doing. This was all scripted. And these people were actors. But I don't believe him. JACOB SOBOROFF: It just
doesn't make a lot of sense. LIZZIE: I just think this
clearly crosses the line. CARLY: We've seen what YouTube
pranks have evolved into, but now we're going
back to the old [BLEEP]. MILES: Hahaha. What? CARLY: This has
27 million views. It was uploaded in 2006. [SCREAM] -Ahhhh! MILES: Stop banging the monitor. CARLY: So this video sparks
thousands of imitations. And one, a guy even punched
his hand through the monitor. [CHILD CRYING] MILES: Hehehehe. You're crying. CARLY: Kids cry so ugly. MILES: I think he's saying dad. Like confused, like
why would you do this? Right here. -(CRYING) Dahahad. MILES: Dahahad. The one man to
protect you, right? And then he puts it on YouTube. CARLY: Yeah. MILES: When I was
a kid, my grandpa used to scare the
[BLEEP] out of me. And I think it made
me a jumpy person. At least the scary maze prank
was a little bit more brief than this next prank. This is the mafia murder prank. This poor man in
the leather jacket, he thinks he's just getting
a nice ride down the street. He was waiting at a bus
stop and talking to a guy. And he's like, hey, my
buddy will take you. Let's just hop in his
weird, nondescript Mercury. -Or like Cartoon Network
or something like that. [MUFFLED BANGING AND SCREAMING] -What is that? -Stay right here. MILES: Does this go too far? He tried to get out. But guess what, he couldn't
because the child safety locks were on the door. CARLY: It's not even a prank. MILES: You've got someone into
your car under false pretenses, then kept them from leaving. Kidnapping. Then you've terrorized them. I'm sure that's
some other thing. Emotional al-Qaeda. CARLY: My least favorite
part is, weirdly enough, the end, when the
guy is like, prank. Can you sign this consent form
so I can use this footage? And the kid's like, one, I'm
still in the middle of nowhere. -Feel better? -OK, yeah. -Yeah. We've got to take you
out to eat, like, buffet, or whatever you want, dude. All on me today. MILES: You like Pinkberry? Dude, come on. You like Pinkberry? Come on, buddy. ALEX: So if scary
pranks can go too far, can positive pranks go too far? EARNEST, SR: I think so. I know that they're
very popular. But sometimes I love them. Sometimes I just feel
awkward watching them. -Because if you
want it bad enough, and I want it bad
enough to tip you more– -OK. – –if we just go like this– -Oh my god. – –your tip can
actually turn into $100. ALEX: The exploitation
is what gets me. This is a guy who paid
$400, effectively. And he got 3.4 million views and
has ad revenue running on this. So therefore he has
made much more money than he gave out, just
to exploit someone who is– I think it's actually
a status thing, of saying, like, you lowly pizza
driver, I have this money. You need it. -That's awesome. -It is pretty awesome. -I teared up. -Oh, no. Don't. I'm sure you can use it. -Yeah, definitely. EARNEST, SR: I
was thinking of it as, for the five
minutes that they have to spend on the sidewalk,
they're getting $100. So you got a night's worth
of tips in one delivery. ALEX: There are 62,000
likes and only 726 dislikes. I might be in the wrong here. I'm not wrong. But people might
think I'm wrong. EARNEST, SR: You're
a little wrong. ALEX: I don't think I'm wrong. JACOB SOBOROFF: Since a lot
of what we've seen today deals with the invasion
of personal space, let's look at a far less
offensive prank, if you even want to call it that. This was inspired by a reddit
post about a commuter sleeping on the shoulder of somebody
else on a New York City subway. LIZZIE: Mmmmm. Noooooo. JACOB SOBOROFF:
Kind of like this. At first, people
weren't having it. Then, I guess, people
started to come around. It was made by the
marketing director of a nonprofit group
called Charidy, with a d. They basically help
nonprofits around the world get donations and
do things with them. That's what I would have done. I would have just
probably popped up. LIZZIE: I really
don't like this. JACOB SOBOROFF: Why? LIZZIE: This is framing it
as though the people who are, like, good people,
are the ones that allowed the invasion
of personal space of some strange bearded
man on the subway, leaning on my shoulder. Get off of me. JACOB SOBOROFF: I
mean, I don't think it's obviously on the same
scale as the Sam Pepper video. LIZZIE: No. Of course not. JACOB SOBOROFF: But do you
think it's on that spectrum? LIZZIE: He's not sexually
assaulting people with his head. I think it does live on the
same spectrum, to be honest. JACOB SOBOROFF: I
actually think that this shows that people are, for the
most part, caring and generous. LIZZIE: It doesn't make
me a better person, I don't think, to be like,
go ahead, sleep on me. So obviously, earlier we talked
about how Sam Pepper's video, he came out saying that
it was to raise awareness for sexual abuse. But I feel like there's
a better way to do that. And this video does it and
gives a really good idea of what it's like
to be the recipient of unwanted attention. This is from Fousey. Basically, he noticed that
guys stare at women's butts when they're wearing yoga
pants, because yoga pants are a magical thing. But it doesn't mean you get
to stare at them like that. And he decided to see what would
happen when he put on a pair. This video is his
biggest success. It's got, like,
24 million views. -Ali, tell me when he looks, OK? Yo. Did you just stare at my butt? -No, man. -You just stared at my butt. -Why would I want to be
looking at your butt? -I felt your eyes
glaring at my butt. LIZZIE: This one's my favorite. -Aw, man. Why the [BLEEP] do you
got on leggings, doo? -Why you staring
at my butt, doo? -Because I thought
you was a chick, doo. -I'm sorry, I though you were
a girl, so I was looking. -I thought you were a girl, man. LIZZIE: Isn't this awesome? JACOB SOBOROFF: This
is pretty genius. LIZZIE: It is. And I think it got shared
for all the right reasons. And I think it's fantastic. And I like that he bleeps things
out with Miley Cyrus's face. -Why [BLEEP] you walking away? -Cause I want you to spank it. -[BLEEP]. LIZZIE: His experiments like
this get a ton of traffic. He's actually been
discussed in college classes for social experiments like
this, which I think is great. JACOB SOBOROFF: Thank you
guys so much for watching. If you got any
questionable prank videos that you think we missed, drop
us a link in the comments. LIZZIE: Yeah, and
we also want to know what you think
about these, Where they great, terrible,
horrific, awesome? Let us know. JACOB SOBOROFF: We'll
see you guys on Monday. But now to play us out with one
of the weirdest birthday prank videos you have ever
seen– play us out– LIZZIE AND JACOB: Katy Perry. [MUSIC- KATY PERRY, "BIRTHDAY"]

Amidst the election fever, news is in that one biopic each on dramatis personae Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi is set for release right in the middle of the poll season. The biopic on Narendra Modi, titled rather disingenuously as 'PM Narendra Modi', directed by Omung Kumar (of the 'Mary Kom' fame) and produced by Sandip Ssingh, alongside Suresh Oberoi, Anand Pandit and Acharya Manish, is slated for release on April 5, with actor Vivek Oberoi in the title role. On the other hand, the release date of spoof-ish-sounding 'My Name is RaGa', directed and produced by little-known Malayalam director Rupesh Paul, starring equally unknown actor Aswini Kumar in the lead, has not been announced, but it is also expected to hit the theatres sometime in April.
The makers of 'PM Narendra Modi' claim the film traces the journey of Modi's humble beginnings to his years as Gujarat Chief Minister, on to his landmark win in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and his tenure as Prime Minister. Meanwhile, 'My Name is RaGa' apparently tells the personal and political story of Rahul Gandhi who becomes unstoppable after he overcomes catastrophic setbacks without glorifying him, according to its director.
Moreover, going by the gushing, fawning and obsequious comments of the entire film crew involved in making 'PM Narendra Modi', and the ridiculously melodramatic mushiness of the trailer of 'My Name is RaGa', any discerning observer can make out that the biopics are nothing but propaganda material to position their respective brands for the forthcoming elections.
Speculation has been rife that the Election Commission is examining the matter but may not be able to do much because technically and legally, the films are private, commercial productions, not directly funded or promoted by the political parties concerned. It is also being argued that the Election Commission has no power to stop their release because film certification is beyond its purview and is the exclusive remit of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). At the most, it seems, the Election Commission can request the CBFC to let it review the films to check for poll code violations or any content that might unfairly influence the electorate.
One of the immediate fallouts of the brewing controversy is that the makers of 'PM Narendra Modi' have suddenly announced that the release date of the film which was earlier slated for April 12, is now being advanced to April 5 'on public demand'. The hyper-patriotic trailer was also hastily released on March 20. This is, perhaps, a too-clever-by-half bid to pre-empt any action by the Election Commission, by creating the flimsy basis of a plausible deniability of the film influencing voters.
But will the Election Commission pretend to be satisfied by such maneouvres and allow itself to be rendered toothless? For, if it does so under the pretext that its hands are tied due to lack of technical and legal powers to combat this kind of surrogate publicity and proxy propaganda tools that exploit loopholes, a bad precedent will be set.
The chief guest at the release of the first poster of the Modi biopic in January was Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Phadnavis, while the second poster was to be unveiled by BJP President Amit Shah earlier this week, which had to be cancelled because of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar's demise. This clearly suggests that the BJP is associated with the film, even if there is yet no evidence that it has been funded by the party.
Still, if this is not proxy promotion, then what is? At the very least, it indicates that the film has the party's blessings or backing. So why shouldn't it attract the provisions of the Model Code of Conduct governing campaign films or Section 126 of the People's Representation Act, 1951 which prohibits canvassing 48 hours prior to elections? A similar connection might also exist in the case of the Rahul Gandhi film, although none has come to light yet.
There are, of course, many who will cite freedom of expression and creativity and the fact that a filmmaker has a right to make a film on political leaders or issues and release it at a time of his/her choosing for maximum political impact and commercial gains. The answer to that lies in postponing the release of both biopics to after the elections, so that reasonable restrictions on this freedom of expression are applied equally and fairly. As courts often say, the skies are not going to fall if both biopics are delayed by a few weeks, whereas creative freedom will remain intact. More importantly, the EC can send a message to parties that myth-making, at least through expensive biopics, cannot be used to dazzle voters during election time.

Another world
18 Dec 2012
|Uxmal ruins were an optional side trip that I was glad I took.
While there are other buildings within the Uxmal complex, it is dominated by the Temple of the Wizard which according to legend was built in one night.
The Temple of the Wizard is an oval temple, the only one known to exist in the Mayan world, and has three distinct periods of building.
The complex was also built on a number of platforms which meant that I definately did my 10,000 steps for the day. The Mayan were definately fit people.
We also stayed for a light show which was pretty disappointing and didn't photograph well.
The great thing about Uxmal is that it is not a popular as some of the other ruins and therefore felt more peaceful. It also helped that it was more connected than Chichen Itza which was quite spread out.

Game in one hour: CardJump
Developing a Card based Platformer Game
This weekend I participated again in the one-hour-game-jam, and created: CardJump, the card based platformer.
The theme of the jam was running, and I thought about developing a runner game where your actions are decided by cards.
Development process
When this idea came to me, I felt that it actually was a horrible idea. I felt that it's not going to work, that it's not going to be fun to play, and that it's not achievable in one hour. On the other hand I felt that it would be fun to try - that it could be a failure I will be proud to have for a one-hour-game-jam. After all, when else can I give such a crazy idea a shot if not in an 1-hour-jam?
In this video you can see my process while making this game in Unity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHR1IfU-Rc0
Results and conclusions
So, surprisingly I made it, surprisingly it's kind of fun. But I can see some issues with this game style: it's very hard to balance, and it becomes a bit too chaotic.
You might notice that the art took as much time as programming for this project. I learned how to use unity's new cinemachine 2d camera.
The project files are accessible as usual in github: https://github.com/idoadler/1hgj/releases/tag/1HGJ.211
I'm glad I made it, now I have new tools in my game design arsenal, and perhaps I'll come back to this idea one day.
Thoughts on how to develop this idea further:
- Deck building!
- Different weapons for different scenarios
- Different loading times for different cards
- Make it an endless runner instead of a platformer
- Make a pipe-dreams style game, where you put the card on the surface

It is widely believed that OxyContin is responsible for setting off the opioid epidemic that is considered the deadliest drug scourge in U.S. history. The highly potent and addictive oxycodone medication was once hailed as a medical breakthrough. Since its introduction in the mid-1990s, its makers have been named in multiple lawsuits and settlements. Many of them brought to bear by parties that have witnessed the drug's carnage — on individuals, families, and communities — firsthand.
This touching obituary of 30-year-old Madelyn Ellen Linsenmeir went viral because of how tenderly it portrayed the human toll of OxyContin addiction:
"It is impossible to capture a person in an obituary, and especially someone whose adult life was largely defined by drug addiction. To some, Maddie was just a junkie—when they saw her addiction, they stopped seeing her. And what a loss for them. Because Maddie was hilarious, and warm, and fearless, and resilient."
Since the late 1990s, OxyContin and other prescription opioid painkillers have snatched up thousands of lives from every ethnic category and socioeconomic background.
"Perfectly sane people become addicted to these medications and end up dead. Lawyers, plumbers, philosophers, celebrities — addiction doesn't care who you are," wrote Flea, a bassist with the storied rock band Red Hot Chilli Peppers, of the pervasive and wide-ranging nature of the opioid epidemic for Time magazine. Flea himself shared his struggles with OxyContin.
Despite the dangers of OxyContin misuse, users flock to it because of the way it profoundly impacts the brain and produces euphoric highs. Once users decline into addiction, they become locked in a destructive cycle where they are on the road toward life-threatening overdose.

How can you end addiction? Get a call from our experts and find out!
What Is OxyContin?
OxyContin is a time-release formula of oxycodone, a semi-synthetic opioid composed of natural and synthetic ingredients. OxyContin hit the U.S. market in 1995 after it was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat moderate-to-severe pain. Before OxyContin was introduced, narcotic pain medications were seen as niche drugs for the terminally ill, particularly cancer patients.
Thanks to an innovative marketing campaign, OxyContin makers were able to effectively change the prescribing patterns of doctors.
In effect, they influenced a large swath of the medical community to recommend OxyContin for a wider variety of common ailments like backaches and knee pain. The drugmakers relentlessly advertised OxyContin's efficacy in that users only needed to take one every 12 hours, although that claim had long been up for debate.
According to an October 2017 article in the TheNew Yorker, "Millions of patients found the drug to be a vital salve for excruciating pain. But many others grew so hooked on it that, between doses, they experienced debilitating withdrawal."
Nevertheless, OxyContin became a blockbuster drug many times over, generating billions of dollars in revenue.
What makes OxyContin and other drugs so relentlessly impactful is the way they bind to the opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, blocking pain signals in the process.
While the body performs this function naturally to regulate the sensation of pain, OxyContin continuously activates receptors to the point that the brain and nervous system become flooded. This action produces pain relief and sedation, but it also causes spikes in dopamine levels, producing a rush of pleasure and euphoria in users. This is what causes them to feel "high."
According to Flea, who was prescribed a two-month supply of OxyContin after a snowboarding accident, the effect that the medication produced appeared to be all-consuming.
"The bottle said to take four each day. I was high as hell when I took those things. It not only quelled my physical pain, but all my emotions as well. I only took one a day, but I was not present for my kids, my creative spirit went into decline, and I became depressed."
He stopped taking OxyContin after a month.
Countless others could not kick their OxyContin habit, however. The way the OxyContin rewires the brain with each use, people begin to associate it with the release of that feel-good dopamine. It's an association that fuels the cycle of dependence and addiction.
Signs of OxyContin Addiction
The signs and symptoms of an opioid addiction may not be readily observable in the beginning. They tend to subtly manifest over time. What's more, someone who is misusing or abusing OxyContin may not exhibit all the signs of addiction.
However, there are key indicators of dependence that will begin to show in a user. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that dependence occurs when neurons in the body adapt to the repeated introduction of a drug and can only function normally when the substance is present.
When someone engages in long-term OxyContin use, the person will eventually exhibit physical and mental side effects, which indicate a growing problem. Those effects include:
- Increased sensitivity to pain
- Depression
- Chronic constipation
- Anxiety
- Gastrointestinal issues
- Sexual dysfunction
- Dizziness
- Frequent drowsiness
- Bouts of nausea and vomiting
When OxyContin dependence has progressed into addiction, a user will exhibit compulsive and obsessive behaviors to the point where obtaining OxyContin becomes the main priority in their life.
Because the drug becomes the driving force behind nearly every action, that person will use OxyContin in the face of adverse situations, including job loss, legal woes, and strained personal relationships, or worse.
These are surefire behaviors that indicate OxyContin addiction. Among them are:
- Using OxyContin more often or in larger amounts
- Increasing tolerance to OxyContin's effects
- Experiencing cravings and withdrawal
- Using OxyContin without a prescription
- Forging prescriptions or "doctor shopping"
- Stealing money or valuables
- Noticeable decline in personal hygiene
- Becoming socially withdrawn and isolated
- Hiding OxyContin use from others
- Unable to function or be "normal" without it
- Inability to stop using OxyContin
If these signs look familiar in yourself or a loved one, then it is vital that you get professional treatment. Avoiding treatment or going "cold turkey" could introduce the risk of fatal overdose.
How Is Oxycontin Addiction Treated?
Opioid withdrawal symptoms tend to be mild when compared to the hazardous effects that result from benzodiazepines. Yet, an OxyContin detox should never be attempted alone because the symptoms are painful and uncomfortable enough to cause patients to relapse.
The first step in a professional opioid addiction treatment program is medically supervised detoxification, a four-to-seven-day process where the OxyContin and other toxins are flushed from your system. In some cases, replacement medications are used to help patients who are undergoing withdrawal.
During this phase, medical staff will administer around-the-clock care, and experienced clinicians will assess your best treatment options going forward.
After detox is completed, the next step in your recovery program is ongoing care at a treatment facility. For severe addictions, residential treatment, which typically lasts between 30 to 90 days, is highly recommended.
In residential treatment, you will stay at a facility away from home and receive individual, group, and family therapies daily. These therapies are arranged to help you identify and address the underlying issues, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that have fueled your addiction.
For people who have completed residential treatment or do not have the flexibility to live at the facility and receive therapy, there is outpatient care. In outpatient, you will have the ability to live at home (or at a sober living facility) and receive ongoing treatment daily or weekly at a designated center.
Ready to get help?Let our treatment experts call you today.
The advantage of outpatient care is that it allows you to remain connected to a recovery community, which can mean the difference between sustained sobriety and relapse.
How Dangerous Is OxyContin?
OxyContin is dangerous because it can produce life-threatening overdose symptoms like kidney or liver damage. Other overdose symptoms of OxyContin include:
- An extremely weak pulse
- Uncontrolled vomiting
- Dangerously shallow and slow breathing
- Bluish skin around lips and fingernails
- Impaired reflexes
- Difficulty moving
- Cold and clammy skin
- Slipping in and out of consciousness
- Coma
When OxyContin is consumed with alcohol or another drug, the risk of fatal overdose heightens. If someone is exhibiting signs of overdose, then it is vital that they immediately seek emergency medical attention. You should also be aware that even if emergency services are alerted in time to reverse an overdose and prevent death, severe and permanent brain damage is possible due to a lack of oxygen. This involves the following:
- Memory loss
- Impaired vision or hearing
- Difficulty processing complex thought
- Impaired coordination
- A nonresponsive, vegetative state
- Coma
OxyContin Abuse Statistics
- An estimated 2.4 million people in the U.S. had an opioid use disorder, including heroin and prescription opioids like OxyContin, says the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
- From 1999 to 2017, almost 218,000 people in the U.S. died from prescription opioid-related overdoses, including OxyContin, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
- In 2017, there were 17,087 deaths attributed to overdosing on commonly prescribed opioids, including OxyContin, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
- Nearly 80% of Americans who use heroin (including those in treatment) reported misusing prescription opioids like OxyContin first.

Airplane Airbus A330-300 (33K) Three Class Cathay Pacific with 3 classes and 251 seats on board. Use airplane seat map to find which ones are more comfortable and which should be avoided.
First time flying premium economy, will certainly do it again with Cathay Pacific
Very comfortable business class seat, full stretch, plenty of leg room, headphone jack tucked away at head height is good idea. Occasional waft from toilet, otherwise good location
very bothersome as it is close to the galley, cant store bags under the seat at take off and landing
Seats in economy are encased in a hard plastic shell in the back, which eliminated the soft-seatback problem endured on CX410 / Airbus A350 on the way HKG-ICN. Seat itself is pretty comfortable. However, A330 entertainment system is much more dated than the A350, screen size is tiny, buttons control not responsive and one has t...
My wife and I were in 16D&G on CX111 07/02 and though the seats are good in the sitting position they are not good when full flat bed position, the foot well is tiny and if you are tall with big feet like me it's a struggle, the window seats have a bigger foot well and longer seat belts.The food and staff especially the lady in ...
Premium economy on this rather old plane is not particularly premium, as the seats are worn and quite uncomfortable for an 8h+ flight. It was near impossible to sleep in the seat and I've sat in more comfortable economy seats. There's also quite a lot of through traffic here from business class by the flight attendants which mea...
Seat is angled as the cabin width is reduced from that row on this A330 version. Because of this angle, seat 69C has a much smaller pitch for the right knee and is very uncomfortable. The view on the screen is also angled which provide light reflection on it. Problem is the same for seat 69H on the other side of the cabin.
Very good seat - flight Shanghai to Hong Kong, excellent service - good entertainment - comfortable pitch - good stretch out space, Modern aircraft, no issues. CX very good airline.
Great configuration, plenty of room with very good comfort overall. Staff were responsive and friendly.
One of the best business class layouts we have experienced. The cabin is not cramped at all. The cabin service was very good as we have experienced previously. The quality of the food was great. Other airlines such as SWISS could learn much from Cathay.
Melbourne to Hong Kong. I had aisle seat 30D, P/E. Front row, good legroom, seats along the front row have leg rests, these can cut into your foot Excellent food, great choice on menu. Offered glass of bubbly or juice & hot towels as soon as you are seated. Would book P/E in future, well worth the extra cost.
Premium economy to get the leg room mainly. Seat is a little better and the food is a little better but the ticket prize is about double. I fly a mixture of all 3 classes and the Premium economy is a compromise.Entertainment guide looks a lot like the business class.
Very good seat, privacy, comfortable, good recline

We primarily use it for high-performance computing. Our customers really do like it because of the density they can achieve in the racks. Apollo provides so much compute power and storage as well.
It's performing extremely well.
It enables us to implement software defined solutions very easily, because Apollo servers are certified for use with Linux systems, which is really a big thing for us.
High compute density and high storage density at a reasonable cost
Obviously I would like to see the cost go down. That speaks for itself.
We would like to see improved cooling because that is quite an issue. If you put that much compute power into a single rack, cooling really becomes an issue. And there is room for improvement there.
Extremely reliable. We've been using it for three years now, and it's been in production without any downtime yet.
Especially if you use software defined storage, for instance, scalability is just great.
We have not use HPE support. We have our own engineers, so we're really proficient enough. And it's really easy to use. So it's not a big deal.
We actually had a business case. We were looking to address this business case with standard IT storage solutions but they were way too pricey for us. So we figured we needed a way to use a standard service, make the most of these standard services, and came across Apollo Systems. Apollo Systems provide stuff that standard services do not. More HTDs, more compute power, at very reasonable pricing.
It was straightforward.
We do look to Super Micro whenever price is king. But if we are looking for reliability, then HPE is the way to go.
Our most important criterion when selecting a vendor is reliability. We need a vendor to be there for us, even when the product is already three or four years old. That's a big thing for us.
I give it an eight out of 10. It does what we expect it to do. As I said, cooling is still an issue, you really have to keep that in mind if you implement the solution. But aside from that, we're really happy with it.
Talk to a partner who has implemented a solution with HPE Apollo, talk to customers who have actually used it in the field. It's really simple to do.

Generating Free Website Traffic for Your Online Business
To get visitors to your website you can use paid or free website traffic methods and every online business owner needs to know how to get web traffic. Without traffic to your website, you'll have no online business.
Paid website traffic will generate instant results but will end when you stop paying for it. Strategies for generating free website traffic take longer to generate results but can provide a steady flow of traffic for days, months or even years.
In this article, we'll look at 4 effective ways you can generate free website traffic.
4 Ways To Get Free Website Traffic
1. Content Creation
One of the simplest things you can do to get free website traffic is to post content regularly. Each time you publish a new post or article it will be found by Google's spiders and will be indexed in the search engines. This ranking will help your website get indexed quickly. What this basically means is that each time someone types in a search query in Google, your website is more likely to show up in the rankings. Higher rankings equates to more visitors to your website, which of course is what you want.
Creating a blogging calendar can help you stay on track and get those posts published regularly. Always write posts that are informative and helpful to your readers, this way they will return to read more at a later date. Try to post two to three times a week. Pick a schedule that you can stick to without overwhelming yourself.
2. Guest Blogging
Another method for generating free web traffic is to leave well thought out comments to questions on industry forums and related blogs. Both methods can work extremely effectively and provide you with a good source of new traffic. When leaving comments don't be spammy. Instead answer the question in a thoughtful manner. Leave helpful advice and information. Most blogs will allow you to link back to your last blog post. This way anyone interested in your comment can visit your blog.
3. Social Media
Websites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and Pinterest can open your online business to a whole new audience. Social media allows you to show off your best content, and highlight all your brand has to offer. But you have to give value to get value. Whether you use text, images or video, you need to provide engaging content that is related to your business, service, or product that people will want to share.
4. Video Marketing
Videos are a great way to get traffic to your website. People enjoy watching video and are more likely to share great videos with their friends. Videos can be produced simply and quickly. Two or three minutes is long enough. You can just record yourself reading your blog post if you don't know what to create a video about. You don't even need to be on camera. Screen capture software, like Jing, is free software that records what is on your computer screen and is a great way to show a presentation and share it online.
Want More Free Website Traffic?
Every online business owner needs to know how to get web traffic. If you don't have proven ways to get more traffic to your website or sales pages you won't get any customers and you won't make any money. Generating free website traffic is one thing but it needs to be targeted website traffic to turn it into profitable sales. In this video presentation you'll see how smart online entrepreneurs are generating a flood of free website traffic from Facebook.
