|# Farm loan waivers
# Fiscal prudence
|• Governments should resist farm loan waivers as it often goes to the best connected rather than to the poorest. It also creates fiscal problems for the State. Government-imposed credit targets are often achieved by abandoning appropriate due diligence, creating the environment for future NPAs.
|# Saving Indigenous breeds
|• Punganur cow, considered one of the world's smallest breeds of cattle, is said to be on the verge of extinction due to cross-breeding conducted by farmers, according to livestock journals. (also read Gokul Mission).
|# Technology for farmers
|• TN government is distributing satellite phones to fishermen involved in deep sea fishing to assist in their navigation while in the high seas. ISRO has designed the NaVIC (Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System) receivers.
|# Illegal mining
|• Collapse of a coal mine in Meghalaya's East Jaintia Hills, trapping at least 15 workers, has thrown spotlight on "rat-hole mining". Although banned, it remains the prevalent procedure for coal mining in Meghalaya.
1. Rat hole mining involves digging of very small tunnels, usually only 3-4 feet high, which workers (often children) enter and extract coal.
2. NGT banned it in 2014, and retained the ban in 2015, on grounds of it being unscientific and unsafe for workers.
3. It had also caused the water in the Kopili river (it flows through Meghalaya and Assam) to turn acidic.
|# Inclusive Growth
# Rural Industrialization
|• India Post launched its own e-commerce website to help sellers, particularly rural artisans and SHGs sell their products across the country by leveraging the vast physical and lT network of the Department of Posts.
|# Promoting Startups
# Job Creation
|• SEBI has lined up relaxations for new-age ventures in sectors like e-commerce and data analytics to raise funds and get their shares listed on stock exchanges.
1. The proposals include renaming the 'Institutional Trading Platform' that the regulator had created for such listings as 'Innovators Growth Platform.'
• SEBI is coming up with a 'sandbox' policy to support development of financial technologies for the capital market.
1. Sandbox policy will allow companies to test products in a closed environment, a particular geography or among a set of users, before they are allowed roll out commercially meeting all regulations.
|# Employment
# Labor vs. Technology
|• Employment challenge that India faces — close to 15 million waiting to be absorbed in the industrial and services sectors every year — is possibly bigger than that faced by any other country (except China) in the world.
• It cannot be resolved with the technologies that foreign companies bring into India, which tend to be labor saving. What India requires, on the other hand, are technological advances that create new economic opportunities and absorb — not displace — labor.
|# Responsible Capitalism
|• Chanel said it would no longer use exotic animal pelts, making it the first luxury fashion house to turn its back on crocodile and lizard skin, a move hailed by animal rights groups. It was becoming difficult to source high-quality pelts ethically.
• Dozens of top fashion industry firms have pledged at the UN climate talks to reduce their combined greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030.
|# Digital Currency
|• At least 15 central banks are interested in national digital currencies, according to a recent report from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
1. Digital money means people are using less physical cash, and so the banks could reduce costs by replacing physical banknotes with digital ones.
2. Central banks will need to decide if their system should function like a decentralized cryptocurrency—or not.
|# Gender budgeting
|• India began gender budgeting in 2004 and currently 16 states undertake this exercise which is aimed at reducing gender inequalities at scale. It has been found:
1. States with gender budgeting showed significantly greater reduction in spousal violence between 2005-'06 and 2015-'16 than those without it, according to a study using data from NFHS 3 (2005-'06) and 4 (2015-'16).
2. Gender budgeting is linked to improvements in girl education, especially in the field of primary education.

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
Talk about being at the right place at the right time. I took my picture and pulled out of this old gas station in Driftwood, when I saw an elder man pull up in this classic truck. He told me he traveled many miles just to see his prized possession in front of the old Texaco. I asked him if he wouldn't mind me snapping a picture as well. The man lit up with pride and said, "It would be my pleasure" This old station is one of the few remnants of a bygone time.
I stumbled across this old, beaten up "Wash Wonderful Detailing" carwash in the quiet little town of Littig, Texas. I wonder how good of a job they do?
The trees surrounding this abandoned home in Giddings, Texas whisper their secrets about what lies inside. If only these old walls could talk.
Old buildings have many lives. The Walburg State Bank, c. 1913, has been inactive since 2000.
This is an old storefront in Walburg, Texas that's long been closed for business.
Settlers of the small town Manda arrived in the late 1800s, and its population was only recorded as 20 people. Today, only the Manda Cemetery and this school remain.
There is no evidence of any survivors. Bastrop, Texas
I drove past this old dancehall/bar off of Highway 71 near Smithville, Texas, and then, I decided to trespass and wander in to see what they had on tap. It was my first experience entering an abandoned spot and I learned the importance of having a flashlight handy, real quick! Searching abandoned places is fun until you remember how fast you have to sprint once you turn out the lights.
I spotted this old, empty house off a road in Manor, Texas. It was breathtaking, as the golden hour was approaching, but I was alone and too afraid to enter (and had no flashlight!) so I knew I had to come back another day.
I finally convinced my best friend to take the trip back with me so we could do some further exploring.
It makes you wonder why these homes are left to rot and decay when there once was so much beauty. It's as if the owners left suddenly without looking back. Perhaps they only meant to leave for a short time, only to have it unexpectedly stretch into eternity.
Lorraine Ghost Town is a re-created version of the original J. Lorraine that stood just a few miles from present day Manor, Texas. The town was a neutral territory for outlaws and lawmen alike, until it was burned by outraged moral citizens from nearby.
This old gas station now lies on private property in Burnet, Texas.
I found this little barn off a county road close by Giddings, Texas. The cow appears to be the only resident.

Using Kaiser Permanente Insurance to Pay for Drug Rehab
American Addiction Centers has a relationship with Kaiser Permantente and may be able to help you get into one of our facilities. Give us a call 888-966-8152 , or use our online insurance checker to see if there is coverage for you.
What Is Kaiser Permanente?
With 11.8 million members in 2017, approximately 22,000 doctors, 57,000 nurses, 39 hospitals, and 682 medical offices and other facilities, Kaiser Permanente is a top-tier, not-for-profit health plan service and healthcare provider.1
Kaiser Permanente has close ties to local communities, investing large amounts of money and expertise into community outreach. Kaiser also creates new technology, conducts extensive medical research, and focuses on ensuring the overall well-being of members to create a healthier society.
As a company, Kaiser Permanente boasts high-quality ratings by providing comprehensive, competent, and affordable healthcare to as many people as possible. Kaiser offers health insurance plans to employers as group coverage, as well as to families and individuals as private insurance. The company also provides Medicare coverage for seniors age 65 or older or people with a disability that qualifies them for Medicare.
Offering coverage in 8 states (Washington, Oregon, Colorado, California, Hawaii, Georgia, Virginia, and Maryland), as well as the District of Columbia, Kaiser Permanente is one of the primary healthcare providers in the United States.2
How to Use Kaiser Permanente Coverage for Rehab?
Individuals who live within a Kaiser Permanente coverage area, and have a Kaiser Permanente healthcare plan, may choose a Kaiser Permanente healthcare provider at kp.org and may change doctors at any time. Appointments can be made online or over the phone. Nonurgent health concerns may be addressed via email communication with a doctor's office; lab results may be viewed online; prescriptions can also be refilled online; and nurses are available for medical advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.3,4
The first step to seeking treatment for a substance abuse or dependency concern is often an initial meeting and conversation with your primary Kaiser Permanente doctor. Individuals can set up this meeting or appointment over the phone or online, or email the doctor's office.
Depending on medical necessity, a primary care physician may refer or authorize individuals for further treatment.
Depending on medical necessity, a primary care physician (PCP) may refer or authorize individuals for further treatment, after an initial assessment, in a specialized substance abuse treatment facility. Drug and alcohol treatment centers often have professionals who understand the complexities of insurance and how to help individuals use their coverage to pay for services. When treatment is not entirely covered, these same professionals are likely to have suggestions on alternate funding.
Individuals can find covered treatment providers for counseling or therapy services using the locator tool. An advice nurse is also available by phone around the clock, as is a wellness coach between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, for discussion about individual mental health goals and options; the numbers for both can be found on the website. Kaiser Permanente medical centers also provide classes and programs as well as support groups on a variety of mental health topics, including chemical dependency.
Scope of Coverage
What is specifically covered depends on the individual plan. Some of the typical treatment services for substance abuse may include:
- Detox.
- Outpatient treatment.
- Intensive outpatient treatment.
- Inpatient or residential treatment.
- Transitional recovery services.
One example of standard coverage is the Kaiser Permanente Platinum HMO plan for California. This plan covers inpatient detox to manage medical withdrawal from drugs or alcohol in a plan hospital and with plan physician services. Room and board, medical services, medications, education, recovery services, and counseling may all be included. Individuals will pay a copay of $250 per day, up to a maximum of $1,250 per stay under this plan.5
Covered outpatient services, where the individual attends treatment during the day and goes home at night, may include intensive outpatient programs, day treatment programs, medical withdrawal treatment, and chemical dependency counseling in a group and/or individual setting for a copay of $15 per visit for individual treatment and $5 per group session.5
Coverage may also include residential treatment at a $100 copay per admission. The services must be provided in a licensed facility that provides 24-hour care, and can include individual and group counseling, medical services and monitoring, room and board, social services, medications, and aftercare planning.5
Substance abuse treatment is a wise investment. When you add up alcohol, drug, and tobacco dependence costs to society as a whole, it comes to more than $740 billion per year in healthcare costs, lost workplace production, and law enforcement and legal costs, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.6
Specific Plan Details
There are 3 main types of health plans offered by Kaiser Permanente: group or employer-based plans, family and individual plans, and Medicare plans. Plans may vary from region to region and state to state.
Employer-based or group plans are offered to businesses that provide health insurance to their employees, often with premiums directly deducted from paychecks. Group plans through Kaiser Permanente may include:
- Traditional or deductible plans: Fees may be paid by the plan participant until deductibles are met, and generally, there is an out-of-pocket annual maximum amount. Copays may be necessary.
- Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans: These plans may be optimal for individuals who don't reside in a Kaiser Permanente service region or who wish to use out-of-network providers. Coverage can be maintained at a higher rate when non-preferred physicians are used, and in-network coverage costs less.
- Point-of-Service Plans: This type of comprehensive coverage plan allows individuals to use in-network Kaiser Permanente providers and network-contracted providers, or pay more for out-of-network providers. It is a combination of an HMO and PPO plan.
- Out-of-Area Plans: Individuals living outside of a Kaiser Permanente coverage area can receive healthcare services without a referral. Preventative services are typically covered, and other services may be subject to cost-sharing or a deductible amount.
- Consumer-Directed Health Plans: Several options are available, including a health reimbursement account (HRA) plan where employers contribute for qualified medical expenses, a health savings account (HSA) plan that is a tax-free account set up by individuals to pay for medical expenses, and a flexible savings account (FSA) where individuals make contributions that are considered pre-tax, toward many different medical expenses.
Individual plans range between Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Platinum, depending on the maximum out-of-pocket fees, deductible, and copay amounts as well as monthly premiums. The plans may differ depending on the coverage area. In general, the following types of plans are available:
- Deductible plans: With maximum caps, services are provided for a fee until the deductible is met, and many services have a copay as well. Preventative services may be completely covered.
- Copay plans: Preventative services are covered, and there is no deductible amount for these services, though they are subject to a copay for office visits and services rendered. This is a comprehensive coverage plan that may incur higher monthly premiums.
- Health Savings Account (HSA) plans: These plans have a combined pharmacy and medical cost deductible, and all costs are out of pocket until the deductible is reached. Costs are then covered at a percentage until the maximum out-of-pocket cap is reached. A health savings account can be set up for a tax break on medical costs.
- Deductible catastrophic: Individuals with financial hardship or younger than 30 may qualify for this plan in most coverage regions. It covers up to 3 doctor's visits a year. All additional fees are out-of-pocket expenses until the annual maximum deductible amount is reached. Many preventative services are covered at no charge as well.
Medicare is federal insurance coverage for adults over the age of 65, and Kaiser Permanente Medicare plans may provide more options than standard Medicare. Plans include the Kaiser Permanente Senior Advantage and the Senior Advantage Basic, which are HMO plans that vary according to the coverage region and plan selected. Most coverage will have low copays for services and prescriptions, with no copay for most preventative services.
For seniors seeking substance abuse treatment, a trained insurance professional at a specialized treatment center can help individuals understand their coverage and how it may be used to pay for services.

text: There are a lot of items that could muddy the main thread on the transcripts. However, there are things that stand out. I'll start, shall I? After the video of (presumably) Bang-Bang Muhammad making gun gestures and grabbing Sparrow's camera, Ms. Belotte denies knowing him, stating, "These people come and go." "These people." Not part of her church, she claims. They come and go. I'm sure NOI would like to hear what the Executive Director of the DC Org really thinks of them. "These people." Heh. Next, the delicious testimony of a Moxon-coached witness and co-worker of Belotte. She proceeds to perjure herself on the stand, claiming she saw with her own eyes Sparrow trespass onto cult property to prevent Ms. Belotte from getting in her car. Unfortunately, as Mr. Key pointed out, Ms. Belotte also stated that Sparrow never left public property during protests. It was all very embarrassing for the little clammie, I'm sure. Kim never came up with the "erection and blocking car" story until after she made a police report. Her long email to a detective the next day also failed to mention these things. Surely a man with an erection approaching you or preventing you from getting in your car would sort of, excuse the pun, STAND OUT? Yet poor little Kim's brain was full. Remembering is HARD! Even when you're a Clear with perfect recall, as Mr. Key pointed out. I liked the part of the trial where Mr. Key leads Kim down memory lane, to a day when coworker Vickie was out with a video camera, and another Scilon was out with pad and pencil. Kim deliberately walks past Sparrow, ostensibly to get coffee, changes her mind, walks past him again. Clearly, they were hoping to get video of Sparrow "doing something." The judge noticed that, more than once, Ms. Belotte goes out of her way to engage Sparrow and call him names. Surely this is not the act of a terrorized woman? "I just wanted to make him leave me alone," she tells the judge. Yeah. Marching out and calling someone "Scarecrow" works well. With all these allegations of stalking and erections, Ms. Belotte took no measures to protect herself. She failed to bring keys to the side door, even though she knew he'd probably be out front. She never asked to see video from either security cameras or her fellow Scilons. She never asked anyone to escort her to her car. She never asked anyone to bring a camera out while she walked to her car. She didn't do any of these things, because none of this ever happened. You can see when her TR-L drills fail, and she retreats to "I don't know. I don't know what that is. I don't know. I don't know." Doesn't play well in court. She can't explain why her husband threatens Radio Paul with the Brian Treatment. Nor can she explain what the Brian Treatment is, but it sounds like hubby is threatening a law abiding protester with it. Some humor, Mr Keys, "I haven't read Dianetics, but I saw Battlefield Earth." Judge, "He's wearing another tie that defies easy description." This just shows what a sharp, well-informed lawyer and a whole pile of video can do.

United States District Court, D. Hawaii
May 13, 2019
MICHAEL C. GREENSPON, Plaintiff,v.AIG SPECIALTY INSURANCE CO F/K/A CHARTIS SPECIALTY INSURANCE CO.; AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC.; PROMMIS SOLUTIONS HOLDING CORP. N/K/A OLD ALABAMA CLOSING COPR.; MCCORRISTON MILLER MUKAI MACKINNON LLP; and DOES 10-30, Defendants.
the Court is pro se Plaintiff Michael Greenspon's motion
for reconsideration of the denial of remand or to stay
proceedings. Dkt. No. 38. The Court finds these matters
suitable for disposition without a hearing, pursuant to Local
Rule 7.2(d). For the reasons discussed below, Greenspon's
alternative requests are DENIED.
Complaint, originally filed in state court, seeks a
declaratory judgment regarding AIG's and AIG
Specialty's insurance coverage obligations with respect
to a default judgment entered in Greenspon's favor in a
2014 state-court lawsuit (2014 Lawsuit) against AIG's
insured, Prommis Solutions Holding Corp (PSHC), and
Prommis' wholly owned subsidiary, Cal Western.
Id., Ex. 1.
November 2018, Defendants American International Group (AIG),
AIG Specialty, and McCorriston, Miller, Mukai, MacKinnon LLP
(M4) removed this action to this Court. Dkt. No. 1. Greenspon
filed a Motion to Remand based on: (1) lack of jurisdiction
because of the incomplete diversity of the parties and (2)
discretionary considerations, including the existence of
duplicative, intertwined state-court matters. Dkt. No. 10. On
February 25, 2019, this Court denied Greenspon's Motion
for Remand (February 2019 Order), concluding, inter
alia, that (1) Greenspon had not asserted a claim
against the sole in-state party, M4, rendering the law
firm's presence as a defendant improper and resulting in
its exclusion when determining diversity; and (2)
Greenspon's pending state-court matters against
defendants other than those named here did not relate
directly to the declaratory judgment action before this
Court, and the only possibly related state-court matter, the
2014 Lawsuit, was no longer pending, having concluded with
the entry of default judgment. Dkt. No. 22.
March 13, 2019, Greenspon moved in state court to amend the
findings of facts and conclusions of law in the
previously-concluded 2014 Lawsuit. Defendant's Opposition
to Motion to Remand (Opp.), Dkt. No. 45, at 4. The state
court promptly denied the motion to amend. Id. at 5.
On March 25, 2019, Defendant AIG, who was not party to the
2014 Lawsuit, initiated a Special Proceeding (2019 Special
Proceeding) in state court to set aside the default judgment
in the 2014 Lawsuit as it relates to Cal-Western.
Id. Greenspon thereafter counterclaimed against AIG
in the 2019 Special Proceeding asserting some claims similar
to those in the declaratory judgment action before this
Court. Id. at 6. The state court consolidated the
2014 lawsuit with the 2019 Special Proceeding (Consolidated
State Court Proceeding). Id. at 7.
in the Consolidated State Court Proceeding are
Greenspon's motion for summary judgment as to AIG's
complaint seeking to set aside the default judgement against
Cal Western and AIG's Motion to Dismiss Greenspon's
counterclaims. Id. On April 18, 2019, Greenspon
filed the instant "Motion to 1) Reconsider Motion to
Remand or 2) to Stay Proceedings Pending State Court
Action" (Motion). Dkt. No. 38.
for Reconsideration
to LR60.1, motions seeking reconsideration of interlocutory
orders may only be brought on the basis of newly discovered
material facts not previously available, an intervening
change in law, or manifest error of law or fact. Where
reconsideration is sought based on manifest error, the motion
must be brought within 14 days of the order it challenges.
for Stay
power to stay proceedings is incidental to the power inherent
in every court to control disposition of the cases on its
docket with economy of time and effort for itself, for
counsel, and for litigants." Landis v. N. Am.
Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254 (1936). "The exertion of
this power calls for the exercise of sound discretion."
CMAX, Inc. v. Hall, 300 F.2d 265, 268 (9th Cir.
1962); see Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 706
(1997) ("The District Court has broad discretion to
stay proceedings as an incident to its power to control its
own docket."); Lockyer v. Mirant Corp., 398
F.3d 1098, 1109 (9th Cir. 2005) ("A district court has
discretionary power to stay proceedings in its own
court[.]"). When a stay is requested because of pending
proceedings that bear on the case, the Court may grant a stay
in the interests of the efficiency of its own docket and
fairness to the parties. See Leyva v. Certified Grocers
of Cal. Ltd., 593 F.2d 857, 863 (9th Cir. 1979); see
also Mediterranean Enters., Inc. v. Sangyong Corp., 708
F.2d 1458, 1465 (9th Cir. 1983) ("A trial court may,
with propriety, find it is efficient for its own docket and
the fairest course for the parties to enter a stay of an
action before it, pending resolution of independent
proceedings which bear upon the case.").
Ninth Circuit has set out the following framework for
analyzing motions to stay, pending resolution of related
Where it is proposed that a pending proceeding be stayed, the
competing interests which will be affected by the granting or
refusal to grant a stay must be weighed. Among those
competing interests are the possible damage which may result
from the granting of a stay, the hardship or inequity which a
party may suffer in being required to go forward, and the
orderly course of justice measured in terms of the

Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just change, transform.
Don't just relate, advocate.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just criticize, encourage.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don't just see, feel.
Don't just dream, do.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just tell, show.
Don't just exist, live.
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
On the canvas of live, we all are different. We all evolve as individuals. The only thing that we share in common is the fact that we all exist. We exist together. We have our own struggles. Our own stories. All stories but emerge from one single story—that of living.
Existential Expressions is a space where I share my thoughts on living, feeling, thinking, reflecting, discovering, and existing. It is a space where I endeavor to connect with you through my words.
I invite you to join me in this existential journey and explore through my stories, write-ups, poetry, letters, and quotes.

Founded in 2002 by a charismatic adventurer named Nick Woodman, GoPro (GPRO - Free Report) briefly became one of the market's hottest IPOs, quadrupling in price in the four months after its June 2014 offering.
GoPro's action cameras fit perfectly with the desires of millennials (and many older customers) who wanted to document the fun they were having and share it with their friends and social media followers.
Though GoPro's flagship "Hero" product was a fairly non-traditional digital camera with limited device playback capability, a suite of accessories that allowed it to be mounted virtually anywhere – including on bicycles, surfboards, dogs(!) and pretty much anything else that moves – made it a favorite of the thrill-seeking crowd.
The ability to add a wide variety of special effects allowed users to easily create their own professional looking adventure films. Early on, Woodman envisioned GoPro as not simply a camera manufacturer, but also the creator and curator of digital entertainment. The promise of that idea was obvious – the company would reap initial revenues from hardware sales and then recurring sales as customers who already owned the device continued to pay for apps, software and services.
Companies like Apple (AAPL) have become the giants of modern industry on the same premise -a "sticky" ecosystem in which selling the initial hardware pieces also keeps customers coming back over and over for higher-margin services.
Unfortunately, the target audience is a fickle crowd and most of that potential never materialized. Stagnant revenues and an ill-timed investment in photographic drone technology (that performed poorly and resulted in mass-refunds and roughly $80 million in losses before being discontinued altogether) took GoPro shares from an all-time high of $87 in 2016 to recent lows below $5.
Part of the problem is a lack of barriers to entry in the digital photography industry. The cameras and related software on ordinary smartphones have continued to evolve, giving would-be adventure photographers a large number of options when it comes to creating and editing photographic content. Mounts and other accessories that are readily available for smartphones made the once-innovative GoPro technology seem ordinary - and the company never delivered on the promise of becoming a media and content giant.
Social media sites like Instagram an Snapchat offer young users filters and editing tricks for free that allow them to create, edit and share their own content.
Despite a recent bump in GoPro shares because of optimism about recently announced new product lines, it looks unlikely that GoPro will ever live up to the early enthusiasm it enjoyed after going public.
Flat revenue and earnings estimates earn GoPro a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). There's not much to be gained from shorting a stock at $5/share, so GoPro isn't necessarily a selling opportunity, but it's also not a good place to allocate capital in a diversified portfolio.

May I suggest one of my favorite books: "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. This is an enchanting book I read years ago, taking place in none other than Barcelona. It takes place in 1945; the protagonist is a young man named Daniel who takes you on a thrilling adventure throughout the city on his quest to solve a mystery. The author's descriptions of the city were so intoxicating that I couldn't wait to visit someday. [Read More]
Southern Spain
Please sir, may I have some Moor?
Ryan and I left lovely Porto and headed for southern Spain. Luckily for this portion of our trip my brother, Grant, and his girlfriend, Lili, came to visit! We met in Malaga, rented a car, and drove to Granada. Granada Granada is a small city located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range (not to be confused with the Sierra Nevada in California) which has been heavily influenced by the Moors, and is home to the famous Alhambra. [Read More]
Drinking port in Porto, Portugal, near the port
Porto was a mere three hour train ride north of Lisbon, but the much colder weather we encountered felt more Baltic than Mediterranean. It was smaller and gave us a cozier vibe. Just like Lisbon, we had no problem communicating in English here and quickly established a favorite coffee shop that wasn't far from our Airbnb. On the first day of good weather, we utilized our time by exploring Porto's namesake port tasting- more specifically, at Vasques De Carvalho. [Read More]
Lisbon and Sintra
Black and White and Colorful All Over
Rather than risking another unpleasant night train all the way from France to Portugal, we opted to take a cheap RyanAir flight from Marseilles to Lisbon. After grabbing a bite to eat and settling in at our Airbnb, we busted out the Rick Steves Europe app, and began the audio tour for Lisbon. It began at the enormous Praça do Comércio... ...and continued along a scenic pedestrian path through the middle of the city. [Read More]
Trading One Riviera for Another
A Nice Time in Nice
After spending over a month in Italy, it was finally time to go. We boarded the train from Genoa and started making our way along the coast into France- specifically the French Riviera. Nice We arrived in Nice in the late afternoon and checked into our new Airbnb a block away from the train station. Unfortunately it was raining as we arrived, and continued to do so for the remainder of the day. [Read More]
The Colors of Liguria
Primarily green- it's all about the pesto
Leaving Amalfi The day prior to us leaving the Amalfi Coast was the final day the ferry to Salerno would be operating earlier than 10:00 AM. This was very unfortunate for us because it meant we'd have to take a bus to Salerno in order to catch our 10:00 AM train. Up to this point, we had managed to avoid taking the bus during our time in Amalfi, save one reasonably unpleasant experience. [Read More]
The Amalfi Coast
Sunshine and Lemon Groves
We took our second (and mercifully last) night train from Siracusa to Salerno- ending up with not much more sleep than our first time, but thankfully there was running water and electricity this time around. Once in Salerno, we boarded the ferry to Amalfi. We spent the better part of the day exploring the town of Amalfi, with a brief visit to Atrani- a much smaller and more relaxed version of Amalfi.

Land of Granita and Mandarinetto
We left Arezzo by train at 8:30 AM to Rome, dropped off our bags, explored Rome all day (by walking over 18 miles), then hopped on the night train bound for Sicily at 11:00 PM. Yes, you read that right: you can take a train to the ISLAND of Sicily. There are no bridges from the mainland. The train gets taken apart, car by car, and loaded onto a ferry for a short 50 minute boat ride, to then be reassembled onto the other side. [Read More]

Jenna and Jason shared many things in common. One is that they are from Easton PA. Another is that they were both baptized in the same church, 1 year and 1 day apart! Of course they were going to get married in that church, St Bernard's on 5th Street.
The day started at The Grand Eastonian for hair, makeup and great memories with family and loved ones. Then to St Bernard's for a beautiful ceremony (the same church the bride's parents were married in) before an amazing celebration at the State Theater. What a day!
A big thanks to Becky Groller for shooting with me!

HOSPITAL chiefs have thanked those waiting for non-urgent operations for their patience during the pandemic but said rescheduling was 'not straightforward' and warned the NHS was still feeling the impact of coronavirus.
It comes after Henry John Blowfield contacted the Oxford Mail about a 'complete lack of information' for his hip replacement operation at Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, run by Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH).
The 71-year-old, from Grove, near Wantage, who has been waiting since January for the surgery, said shortly before lockdown he had been 'next on the list' but 'understandably' heard nothing once the trust turned its focus to Covid-19.
He said: "However, since the easing of lockdown, I've made contact with the hospital twice to ask what timescale I can expect my procedure to occur and got none. I understand the pressure the NHS is under but I just want to know if it'll be a month or a year which I don't think is too much to ask."
ALSO READ: 'No upsurge' at A&E on Super Saturday in Oxfordshire
According to NHS rules, patients referred for non-urgent consultant-led elective care should start treatment within 18 weeks.
But the latest NHS figures shows 36 per cent of patients on the waiting list at OUH at the end of April had been waiting for more than 18 weeks – up from 17 per cent in the same month last year.
NHS trusts are normally expected to make sure no more than eight per cent of patients are left waiting beyond the 18-week maximum target.
But non-urgent elective operations – such as hip and knee replacements – were suspended from mid-April to free up beds for coronavirus patients, leading to delayed care for many patients across England.
Sara Randall, Chief Operating Officer at OUH, said: "We are grateful for the patience that people have shown when waiting for their routine procedures and outpatient appointments.
ALSO READ: Electro shock therapy used on Oxfordshire patients
"Our goal is to keep patient and staff safety at the forefront of all of our plans, and make sure that we reinstate services in a safe and effective way.
"Unfortunately, this is not straightforward. Our consultants are giving priority to those patients who have the greatest clinical urgency and they will be seen first."
She added: "While we may be past the peak of the Covid pandemic, the impact is still being felt across the NHS. To help mitigate this, we are working closely with all of our partners to maximise all available capacity for our patients.
"We are also continuing to work with the independent sector, which has provided much-needed additional capacity."
Professor Derek Alderson, president of the Royal College of Surgeons of England said the NHS has coped well with the Covid-19 crisis, but has had to 'hollow out' its routine care to do so.
He said: "Patients who have been waiting through the pandemic will very often have been in pain, and the longer some of them wait, the worse their conditions become.
"Elective operations cover not only essential orthopaedic work – giving relief to people in need of new hips, knees and other joints – but life-saving treatment for cancer, heart problems, and neurological disorders."

Last Updated on
Web-based applications are brilliantly replacing desktop apps. With impressive features, user-friendliness & affordability, they're taking over almost all niches & we wonder how!
Needless to say, the limitations of desktop apps fueled the idea of web-based applications. Not only it is benefiting businesses but broadened the vision of any individual towards web exposure.
This blog is a complete guide on web-based applications, their uses, benefits & much more. Let us introduce you to one of the best gifts of technology.
Web-based application Meaning
The web-based application simply refers to application software that's OS-independent. Web-based apps run on a web server & not rely on computer-based software programs.
Users can access web application software via browsers (Eg: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc) with an active internet connection.
List of Web-based applications examples
Here is a list of web-based applications examples for you:
- Online fillable forms
- Shopping Carts
- Photo & Video Editing Apps
- File Conversion Functionalities
- Google Web Apps (Gmail, Sheets, Slides, Google Drive & more)
We have been using such feasible web apps in day-to-day life, all thanks to web-based applications.
Web Application vs. Website
Since websites are also a type of web application, most people are likely to confuse web application vs. website. Let us make it clear for you here.
As mentioned above, web applications are software or programs that are accessible via any web browsers. They ease your tasks & overcome the complexities of native apps.
Websites are simply a group of interlinked WebPages under a single domain name that is globally accessible. A website is a web-app that is created with a specific purpose, maybe branding, e-commerce, or anything else.
We hope you got the basics cleared. Let's move ahead.
10 Advantages of Web-based Application
No Installation required
You don't need to install any kind of software to run web-based applications. As the name suggests, they will run effectively on any web browser of your choice.
Most web-based apps are designed to run successfully on any type of browsers with seamless performance. This makes it very convenient for users to utilize the functions of web applications to the fullest.
Highly Scalable
As web-based applications need not be installed on a device, it is likely to attract many users regardless of them being laptop, desktop, or web-based mobile application users. Even if thousands of users are accessing the web-based application at a time, they can still run smoothly & efficiently.
Centralized Data Controlling
Let's understand this with an example of Google. Once you are registered with Google, you can access its web-based applications. Be it Google Drive, Google Docs, or any other services offered by Google, they're controlled by one owner i.e. Google. Similarly, you have full control over the data created & saved from your end.

Broader Outreach
Once a web-based application is made available on the web, it can be easily accessed by anyone from anywhere on the globe. That's true. There are no limitations or boundaries of accessibility when you operate web-apps.
Round-the-clock Availability
Web-based applications are available & accessible 24*7. Even if you have something to do outside of your business hours, you can simply login at home & accomplish the task.
Universal Compatibility
The best part of web-based applications is that they are universally compatible. Regardless of the device, they're being accessed from, they'll run seamlessly. It can be your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, expect web-based apps to be a stunner.
High ROI
No matter if you're using web-based applications for business or personal use, they're very promising. You will definitely get high conversions & save time by using them. Less to no money goes into using Web-based applications that are pre-available on the web. Until you get one designed for you, you don't have to invest at all.
Data Storage & Security
Knowing the importance of data security & the needs of tremendous data storage, the servers are capable enough to take care of both. Web-based applications are designed for massive data storage capabilities, thanks to powerful sever. Also, they are highly secured to safeguard your data from any type of cyber threat.
Faster-loading with better performance
The scripts & data files are called from the web server backed by cloud storage. This makes it easier for users to access web-based applications with the speed of the internet they have. Most web-based apps are now designed to be lightweight & speed-optimized for an unbelievably wonderful performance.
Feasible to Update & Maintain
Web-based application development is carried out keeping updates & maintenance in mind. As the developers find the need, they can roll-out new features for the respective web apps & they are made available to all the users at the same time.
Besides being feasible for users, they're also hassle-free for application owners to maintain. The downtime is minimized to a great extent for users to experience clutter-free apps.
How does web-based application work?
Client requests (end-user) are handled by the web server to return any data requested via a web-based application.
Here is what happens in the backend when the user interacts with web-based applications:
- A request is triggered to the web server via a web browser on any device
- The web service request is forwarded to a respective web application server
- Data processing or request handling is accomplished by the web application server to return the requested data. Database access can also happen, based on the query
- The requested data is forwarded to the web-server by the web application server
- Web server thus returns the data to the client & requested information is displayed on the screen
The Takeaway
Web-based applications are far better than traditional apps & we don't need proof. They not only elevate business standards but also affect productivity, thus satisfying any requirements gracefully.
If you have more to share on web-based applications, leave your suggestions in the comments.
Stay tuned for more of such useful reads.

Eric Chu to attend KMT-CCP forum
The China Post news staff and CNA
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Ruling Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Eric Chu said on Sunday that he plans to lead his party's delegation to an annual forum with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) early next month in Shanghai but deferred on whether he will meet with mainland Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The 10th KMT-CCP forum, called the ��Cross-Strait Economic, Trade and Culture Forum,�� was scheduled for last year but postponed for various reasons, until May 2-3, sources told reporters on Thursday.
The plan is to discuss issues related to youth, culture and economic interactions between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, Chu said.
On the question of whether his schedule will include a meeting with Xi, who is general secretary of the CCP, Chu said that is another issue and will be dealt with later.
The 53-year-old mayor of New Taipei, Taiwan's most populous municipality, is seen as the KMT's best chance of winning the presidential election in 2016.
The upcoming KMT-CCP forum has been a point of contention between Taiwan's two major political parties, the KMT and the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Chu said on Sunday that it is in Taiwan's best interests not to link party ideology to cross-strait affairs.
��Cross-strait relations should not be constrained by ideology, and should be free from party or individual maneuvering,�� Chu said, when asked to comment on a recent statement on the issue by the DPP Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen.
Tsai, who is seeking the DPP's nomination to run in the 2016 presidential election, said Saturday that President Ma Ying-jeou's government has been conflating relations between the KMT and the CCP with cross-strait ties.
Tsai said people in Taiwan are unhappy with the way the KMT has been handling cross-strait ties because it tends not to distinguish between KMT-CCP relations and cross-strait relations.
In response, Chu said cross-strait relations mean relations between Taiwan and mainland China.
KMT-CCP relations are ties between the two political parties, similar to the links between civil groups and between cities on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, he said. People should not confuse the ties or try to ��discredit�� the KMT-CCP links, Chu added.
He said it is in Taiwan's best interests for cross-strait relations to be free from party ideology.
The DPP chairwoman said that cross-strait relations should not be limited to the scope of political parties, but must be defined as relations between governments that fully reflect the will and expectations of the people.
Tsai was elaborating on her statement the previous day when she said that cross-strait relations should not be defined by the agenda of the KMT.
She said that since the KMT came to power, it has been compromising in its cross-strait negotiations on behalf of Taiwan.
The ruling party has been first reaching agreements with China, then seeking the approval of the Taiwan people through various maneuvering, Tsai said at a softball event in New Taipei organized by her supporters.
Cross-strait agreements must be negotiated at a government-to-government level to ensure adequate representation, transparency, and oversight by the Legislature and the people, she said.
��Taiwan is a democratic nation, and the democratic process must be upheld,�� Tsai stressed.
She further said that cross-strait relations will progress only when the required democratic procedures are observed to ensure that the will and expectations of the people are met.
��I believe that our expectations of government-to-government level negotiations are shared by the public,�� Tsai said.

Greta Van Fleet brings the "March Of The Peaceful Army World Tour" back to the U.S
"It's the best rock and roll I've heard in 20 f**king years.
These guys are so talented, they take my breath away."— Sir Elton John
One of rock's most headline-making bands of the last year is on the road again, heading to Charlotte Metro Credit Union Amphitheatre 5/15. After non-stop touring in 2018 across the States and internationally in early 2019, with a majority of sold-out dates, Greta Van Fleet brings the "March Of The Peaceful Army World Tour" back to the U.S. with 18 stops, from Miami to Madison, including festival appearances at Boston Calling and Bunbury. It's been a wild few months for the four-piece from Frankenmuth, Michigan, after the release of their debut album, "Anthem of the Peaceful Army"(Lava/Republic) in October, has continued to dominate charts. Their latest single, "You're The One" is the band's fourth No. 1 entrance onto the Billboard charts and the album in full landed at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart when it was released.
"Anthem of the Peaceful Army" was collectively written by all four band members, producing ten original songs that explore a variety of topics that include fresh starts, love, integrity, innocence, adventure, diversity and peace, the life cycle and its inherent responsibilities, courage, masked deceptions, revolution and truth. Blending rock, soul and blues, Jake's blazing guitar riffs, Josh's soaring, powerful vocals, Danny's thunderous drums, and Sam's swaggering basslines and keys, it creates a menagerie of musical elements.
In addition to their debut performance on "Saturday Night Live" in January, Greta Van Fleet was honored with fourGrammy Award nominations for "Best Rock Song," "Best Rock Performance," "Best New Artist" and ultimately winning the award for "Best Rock Album" at the February award show, for their sophomore EP, "From The Fires" that birthed the hit "Highway Tune." The Pollstar Awards also named the band the "2019 Best New Headliner."

So I just got my blood test results in, and they don't look so great :( it says I'm at risk for coronary heart disease. I do not have tests prior to starting this lifestyle but I was at a normal weight, 135lbs 5'7" and I climbed maybe 5 hours a week.
I've been raw till 4 for about 7 months now and I don't own a scale but I have gained maybe 20lbs (not sure if water or fat) I feel healthier besides feeling puffy and heavier, and my skin has cleared up nicely. I get at least 9 or more hours of sleep and I eat 2500-3000 calories everyday. I also started walking 30 minutes a day and biked 2 or 3 times a week and cut climbing to once a week. I stay hydrated and drink the recommended amount of water. I was also fasted for 12 hours prior to this test since it was required.
I would love some insight on my test and suggestions on what I should be doing, thanks!

Coronary heart disease can have many causes, not just eating animal or high fat products.
I looked at your results and you seem to have a thyroid and iron deficiency anemia going on. These can cause imbalances in other areas of your body. I am not sure you had a liver function test, but perhaps get that tested too.
Continue to consult with your doctor regarding your treatment.
I am not sure if you simply have a thyroid problem, or may be have been undereating or have an underlying eating disorder.
Cliche I know, but to improve iron naturally, increase caloric intake over all, and eat 1/2-2 heads of lettuce greens a day, eat nutrient dense fruits like oranges, and a handful of nuts or seeds a day or avocado.
You might need to eat low oxalate foods:
And or follow a goitrogenic diet and avoid foods high in goitrogens for your thyroid. This might mean elminating grains, potatoes, and again high oxalate foods like kale, chard, and spinach.
High oxalate foods and foods high in antinutrients like phytates may also interfere with nutrient absorption.
Cholesterol and Triglycerides
We really do not need cholesterol in diet because as you can see, the human body is capable of making its own:-D
Our own cholesterol is more body friendly, so I would not panic immediately about it, and just troubleshoot as to reasons why and how to improve it.
Some people recovering from standards diets may continue to have elevated levels for a few months as arteries heal and deposits break off.
Sometimes liver is malfunctioning. Sometimes medications, drugs, alcohol can cause issues.
Cholesterol can act, just like a bar bouncer, as an escort of bad particles in the system. Some people eating grains who are wheat and gluten sensitive might have higher natural cholesterol levels.
Starchy foods promote chronically high glucose levels and or high insulin levels. The glucose our bodies do not use could be changed to triglycerides.
Forcus more on foods with simple sugars like fructose found in oranges.
Starchy Foods vs Fruit n Lettuce
Give yourself time to heal and follow the rest of the things we recommend like sunshine and early nights and enough sleep.
Retest in three-six months for signs of improvement.
99-100% Raw Long Term Success
Eat a raw frugivorous diet where most carbohydrates and calories come from whole, raw, ripe, sweet, and juicy fruits like oranges, papaya, or mangoes, supplemented with about ½-2 heads of lettuce greens a day ,(not high oxalate veggies like kale, chard, and spinach), and about a handful of raw nuts or seeds a day. Eat simple meals (like mono meals, or only use a few ingredients) but a rainbow of foods over a period of time.
Eat enough on a daily basis with at least 2500 calories for females and at least 3000 calories for males. Drink 8 or more cups of water a day and pee clear. Get 8-12 hours of sleep as needed. Exercise about 30 minutes a day 5-6 days a week with at least one day off for rest and repairs. Get about 30 minutes of sunshine a day on your skin for vitamin D, mental health, eye health, and healthy bones and teeth.
For more science behind how a raw foods diet optimally for long term success:
Aloha to 30BaD's Welcome Wagon! - 30 Bananas a Day!
My test said I had low t3 uptake and maybe slightly low t4, but the others normal. I'm not sure what that means even after googling. Before this lifestyle I did have a problem with purging, but not severe, it was very occasional. I also had a very stressful breakup about 2 years ago which caused a dramatic weightloss then I started staying up to go drinking a lot for a year and eating SAD diet things and gained 20-30lbs. For a period I also did cocaine and adderall. I met my current boyfriend and started rock climbing and trying to look for ways to get healthier, I wanted to try paleo but I couldn't seem to ever leave out rice and bread so I knew it would never work out. So about 7 months I decided to try high carb since it seemed so easy.
I understand and I might need a long time to heal since I obviously abused myself quite a bit. I do feel much happier and content than I did before.
Could you also help me with my iron issue? I don't have a problem with any eating disorder anymore, it's just that I become very full easily and I have to try very hard to stuff myself sometimes. I admit I don't always eat a head of lettuce a day, I maybe have half a head. I have read that beets are good source of iron, should I start having more of those?
Thank you!!!
@whitney, I seem to be having some tech difficulties with computer and my font is doing weird things plus I have things to do and need to log off. I will try to catch up with you more in the next day or two.
Keep following some of the suggestions posted here and yes, give body time to heal.
I am happy you have blood work done because now you have a benchmark of healing. And on days you might not feel good, you know its not in your head:-D
I will have to look up Dr. Gregers red cabbage method lol.
In the mean time, for more sterile and consistent results, you might want to get urinalyses strips like these:
Some stores in USA sell them OTC, or you might have to ask at pharmacy desk. You probably do not need a prescription to buy them.
I recommend these because with food stuffs, there is often inconsistencies in how food is grown, soil, nutrient content, and or who has handled the food ie is it sterile, are you getting a true result or contaminants from someone's hand etc.
These strips will just provide a guideline though. They are fascinating to use and watch how foods you eat affect PH. They may not give perfect results, so any doubts, you can visit your doctor again and have a sterile and more precise test done.
Peace, PK
Thank you PK! I did look up a symptom I have been experiencing which is my stamina seems to have gone down which can be from iron deficiency.
I will look into buying the test strips!
30BaD recommends getting one right away and then as you like. Blood tests can vary greatly depending on time of day, what you are currently eating, your level of rest and exercise.
Here is what DR says on topic:
One blood test doesnt mean much. Good or bad. What matters is a pattern of testing over at least 5 years. Plus athletic performances. If you can't run around the block at a decent clap then you got some things to work on. :)
Most pro athletes test their blood daily to weekly. This is to see how the drugs and training are affecting their biochemistry. Calcium, sugar, tri's, hct etc can change in minutes. Get at least 10 tests done over time before you jump to any conclusions. :)
Its like doing a time lapse video. One frame doesnt tell us much at all.
Definitely not bashing the lifestyle, I don't think I've been eating as optimally as I should which is my own fault. I understand certain things can change in the body but does everything change so rapidly? My triglycerides were really high for being in a fasted state, and I'm not sure how iron levels work in the body and if the low number was only temporary.
I had had my blood drawn around 10am as well.
Thank you for replying!
I am no expert but I can tell you there was a member last year who had been on 100% HCRV for over a year and tested high in triglycerides. He did a consult with Dr. Doug and was told to get more sleep. He did and his triglycerides went down to normal. I would just keep working on all my lifestyle factors and test regularly to see how things go. 32 Elements of Health: How Round is Your Wheel?
Also do searches on 30BaD for threads on your topic of interest, a good one here: http://www.30bananasaday.com/profiles/blogs/higher-triglycerides-af...
Thank you for the link! I have been searching but sometimes I'm not keen on what I'm supposed to type in. I also should have checked my vitamin D as well which I see can also cause high triglycerides. Thanks again!
sure thing! :) ya I usually have an idea of a particular thread or answer I'm looking for from previous reading so that helps! ;)
Hey Whitney - don't panic! Without previous test results you can't which direction your blood values are headed in. Just keep doing what you're doing and get some more tests in a few months. Maybe add B12 and vitD to your next tests.
You have a mild iron deficiency but not iron deficiency anaemia (yet). You might consider a gentle iron supplement like iron bisglycinate or Spatone (but don't be tempted to take a high dose). Otherwise, eating vitamin C-rich and acidic foods alongside iron-rich foods like greens and pulses will improve absorption. The more greens you can eat the better, darker greens usually have a higher iron content - personally I don't think there's any need to avoid kale and spinach because of their oxalate content. Even small amounts of red onion with meals can also improve iron absorption. Avoid teas & coffee, and maybe limit wholegrains in favour of tubers. Iron levels usually take a long time to improve.
Your uric acid and liver function tests are fine but still a little higher than you might expect on a high-fruit diet. This might be because of the alcohol/drugs you mentioned? They should continue to improve if you avoid alcohol, drugs, and high protein foods.
Your HDL (good cholesterol) is quite low - slightly low HDL seems to be common for low fat vegans. Your LDL (bad cholesterol) is also low though so I wouldn't worry about heart disease, maybe get another test in the future and keep an eye on the HDL. I've heard that eating more omega-3's (greens, walnuts, hemp, flax, chia) can boost HDL?
Lots of the blood results I've seen posted on here show raised triglycerides, although yours are higher than most. You're still below the 'dangerous' level of 500 though. Triglycerides are a consequence of fructose metabolism so you'd expect them to go up a bit from eating fruit. DR and other long-termers seem to have trigs in-range so maybe it's just a temporary thing? Maybe if you've had issues with your liver in the past (impossible to say without a previous blood test) it could explain the high trigs.
I don't know much about the thyroid stuff. Your T4 levels are perhaps a bit less than ideal, and TSH is a little bit high. Perhaps suggestive of v. mild hypothyroidism. Except for iodine supplementation I don't know what else you can do to boost the thyroid. And iodine supplements can be risky - they might cause or worsen hashimoto's thyroiditis. Don Bennett was big on iodine supps until DR banned him.

After an educational training in Physics and Biophysics, I gained strong technical and analytical skills in Software Development thanks to 5+ years of IT experience in the banking sector. Then, I decided to apply this experience to one of my passions, Biology. So I studied a master's degree in Bioinformatics, which drove me to Marseille where I conducted my Master Thesis under the supervision of Dr. Anaïs Baudot in the Institut de Mathématiques de Marseille. During my master research stay, I carried out statistical analyses over omics data derived from different prostate cancer cell lines. Subsequently, Dr. Anaïs Baudot and Prof. Pierre Cau gave me the opportunity to undertake a doctoral thesis under their guidance. My PhD project was focused on both the development of mathematical and computational tools grounded on network theory and their application to biological questions. In particular, we aimed at exploring the molecular mechanisms underlying the complex phenotype of some rare human disorders characterized by accelerated aging. In 2019, I joined the Saez-Rodriguez's group at Heidelberg University as a postdoctoral researcher to work in the integration of omics data and biological networks.
I have always been fascinated by the complexity of biological systems. In a human being, a huge number of cells must communicate and work in a coordinated manner to ensure the proper functioning of our body. Moreover, thousands of different proteins interact among them and with other molecules inside every cell to keep us alive. In this context, I am interested in the different techniques, data and research topics that can help us to understand what is actually happening inside cells under different states. We can nowadays take advantage of the massive amount of biological data supplied by the new high-throughput technologies. These data can be inspected from a Systems Biology perspective, aiming at deciphering how a system operates by analyzing it as a whole, not just as a collection of parts. We should therefore look at multiple interacting components simultaneously, purpose for which network theory seems to be a suitable tool.

Sanders and Schumer push for new round of coronavirus economic relief
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Monday called for Congress to "act with a fierce sense of urgency" and pass a new round of coronavirus relief legislation in light of a newly released report on the pandemic's expected economic impact.
Meantime, U.S. public health officials are warning that the massive countrywide demonstrations against police brutality, which show no sign of abating, could be followed by a sudden increase in novel coronavirus cases. Black people have been affected by the virus at higher rates than other demographics, and they are among those out in force protesting.
The rules of the covid-19 pandemic, so recently learned at considerable inconvenience, have been discarded on the streets in recent days. Protesters frequently find it impossible to stay six feet apart, to avoid hand-to-hand contact or to dodge the respiratory droplets of their shouting, chanting comrades amid the swirling chaos. Because the virus can be spread by people with no symptoms, it can be impossible to figure out whom to avoid.
On Capitol Hill, the Congressional Budget Office projects that the U.S. gross domestic product will lose nearly $16 trillion over the next decade because of the pandemic.
"How can Senator McConnell look at these catastrophic economic numbers and believe there is no 'urgency' to protect America's working families?" Sanders and Schumer said in their statement, referring to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "At a time of massive wealth and income inequality, how can President Trump believe that what this country needs is another huge tax break for the top one percent?"
They added: "The American people cannot afford to wait another month for the Senate to pass legislation. They need our help now."
Stocks began June with a pop Monday as investors looked past weekend protests, growing U.S.-China tensions and the coronavirus pandemic, putting the Standard & Poor's 500 index on track for its best quarter since December 1998.
Shares of cruise lines, airlines and hotels did well as investors bet that sectors hard hit by the coronavirus recession will revive as the economy continues to emerge from hibernation. The S&P 500 closed Monday at 3,055.73, up 0.4%p. It is up 18% this quarter, which ends June 30. Utilities and real estate, considered safe harbors in times of uncertainty, helped lead the broad market.
The Dow Jones industrial average gained 92 points, or 0.4 percent, to settle at 25,475.02. Financial and energy sectors had a good day, led by Boeing, Travelers, ExxonMobil and American Express. The tech-centric Nasdaq jumped 0.7 percent, to 9,552.05.
In Michigan, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Monday lifted the state's stay-at-home order and will allow additional businesses to reopen within seven days.
Retailers will be permitted to open their doors Thursday, and restaurants and bars will be able to serve customers on-site starting next Monday. Both will face capacity limits.
Effective immediately, up to 100 people will be allowed to gather outdoors, though with distancing. Restrictions on indoor gatherings remain in place, with no more than 10 people permitted. Public swimming pools and day camps can open next Monday.
Face masks are still required in enclosed public spaces, and the state is encouraging people to work from home.
"The data has shown that we are ready to carefully move our state into the next phase . . . but we owe it to our brave front-line heroes to get this right," said Whitmer, who has received favorable reviews from residents about her pandemic response but also faced criticism from armed protesters at the State Capitol.
"We must all continue to be smart and practice social distancing. . . . If we all do our part, our goal is to announce a shift to Phase 5 for the entire state prior to the Fourth of July."
Salons and barber shops across the country are reopening their doors to clients, and according to cellphone data analyzed by The Washington Post, they are among the businesses seeing a surge of returning customers. But the experience, especially in salons, will not be the same as it was before the coronavirus forced a nationwide lockdown. Shop owners, barbers and stylists are instituting procedures in accordance with state and local guidelines to keep themselves and clients safe in an industry where social distancing is not possible.
Many state reopening protocols list similar precautions. In addition to checking workers for symptoms, salons are making face masks mandatory; requiring stylists to thoroughly wash their hands and disinfect tools and surfaces between clients; asking customers to come the salon alone and wait in their cars until their appointment time; and limiting or discontinuing the use of blow dryers for fear the devices may spread respiratory droplets through the air.
Still, some salon owners question whether the guidance is sufficient. "The ongoing recommendations from medical professionals for six-feet distancing makes me, and those who see it the way I do, wonder at how we can be guided to open at all," said Rachel Palmer, an owner in Longmont, Colorado, who decided to keep her shop closed.

The water temperature in the North East of the continental shelf has reached a record high of Scientists prove
In the first six months of 2012 the sea surface temperature in the large marine ecosystems of the North-eastern shelf, situated between the Gulf of Maine and Cape Hatteras, rose to a record high. In all parts of the ecosystem from the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the observed values above the norm, the shelf area on the border with the Gulf Stream temperature increase was even more pronounced.
Flowering Time / reproduction of plankton in 2012 started earlier, was much more intense the previous years and the average is longer. This fact could not affect the character of the marine life, such as Atlantic cod was to migrate further north of its usual habitat. Biological clocks of many other species are also on the verge of modifications due to changes in the life cycle of the plankton, and some of them have already retired deep ocean, where the water is not as warm as in the offshore zone.
Thus, the average surface temperature of the water ecosystem in the first half of this year has exceeded 10,5 ° C, which broke the record set in 1951, the year. Normal rate, fixed for about three decades in a row, is 9 ° C. Measurements are based on satellite observations and data collected from moored ships. Start of data collection refers to the 1854-th year.
It is noteworthy that in the vicinity of Delaware and Shakespeare Basil temperature exceeded the average by more than 6 ° C on the surface of the water, and 5 ° at the bottom of the ocean. In the Gulf of Maine grew by 1-2 ° C. Since then (2001), was launched as a special measuring system of the fence of the temperature of water in the bottom of the sea, the temperature indicators relating to 2012, showed the highest values.
Home study of the state large marine ecosystem of the North-eastern shelf began in 1977, is actively going on in 1987, in the 1990s interest in several dropped and resumed today. During this time, scientists have a huge amount of evidence that the oceanic change orders, and people only remains that keep a close watch and start to get used to the new.
