So, Subject A36 has been nominated for Best Indie Science Fiction book on ReadFREE.ly. Don't know how that happened, but I'm thrilled. Now I need favors from all of you – please vote for me! There are several different categories, but the direct link to the sci-fi category is HERE. Thanks so much!
If you haven't registered to win eighteen speculative fiction books, time is running out. Five winners will be chosen randomly on November 30th. Click HERE to enter!
I'm taking the week off to spend with family. The stars aligned, and we'll have both sons with us for Thanksgiving this year. Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday – see you next week!
Christmas Tree, #YallWrite, and #Giveaway
We put up our Christmas tree yesterday and I'm not embarrassed. We usually put it up the weekend before Thanksgiving because we travel over the holiday, but this year we did it even earlier. Judging by our neighborhood, we're not the only ones. 2020 has been _____ (choose your own adjective), so if Christmas lights bring joy to folks, I'm all for it. I always said I'd leave my tree up year round if I could get away with it.
I took advantage of the free Y'All Write master classes and author panels over the weekend. Watching Victoria Schwab teach a master class on The Story Corpse – her technique of building a story – was definitely a highlight. I'm such a fan of her work and came out of her class with a list of new ideas. Listening to other well-known authors with plenty of books under their belt talk about how they still deal with writing challenges and self-doubt sure made me feel better. Guess we all have days when we can't string enough words together to form even one sentence – and if we do, it sounds like crap.
The speculative fiction giveaway is still going on, so if you haven't entered yet, click HERE to enter and learn more about the featured books. Five random winners will be chosen November 30th!
WP Editor, Writer's Retreat, Y'All Write, and #GiveAway
So, fun fact. I'd procrastinated for months about learning the new WP editor, which is my own fault. We'd been traveling for the weekend and got home late on a Sunday night in early October, and I needed to prepare the Bad Moon Rising post for the next day. My classic editor was gone. Disappeared. Poof. Son of a %*#$@! I tried everything I could think of to get it back, locate it, beg for it – you get the picture. So that was my baptism into using Gutenberg. I've gotten the hang of it now, but hubby said even the neighbors heard my rants.
I mentioned last week I wasn't doing NaNo, but was participating in a four week virtual writing retreat hosted by authors C.J. Redwine and Mary Weber. It's been fantastic! Every Tuesday evening we have a virtual workshop and so far we've covered ideas, seven plotting methods, building an atmospheric world, authentic dialogue, and character webs. During the week there are writing sprints, prompts, Q&A, etc. I've "met" several other writers, one who actually lives in my town. My writing has been more disciplined, and I'm beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel for the first draft. Yay!
For all you YA fans and writers out there, November 13th and 14th is the Y'All Write book festival. It features some amazing authors, and I've already registered for nine panels – so that's my Friday and Saturday. Check out the website HERE.
Just a reminder about the giveaway I'm participating in. Eighteen speculative fiction books spanning loads of subgenres! Five random winners will be chosen November 30th. To enter and learn more about the featured books, click HERE. Good luck!
#BookPromo, #BadMoonRising, and #TheMandalorian
The Subject A36 ebook will be discounted to $0.99 for one day only on Friday, October 16th – mark your calendars! I spent hours yesterday submitting the info to various websites to promote it in newsletters, on their website, etc. My brain was mush by the time I finished. I probably could have listed it on more sites, but I just didn't have it in me. There has to be an easier way to do this. Any suggestions? Have any sites worked better for you than others?
If you're scheduled for Bad Moon Rising and haven't returned your information, the deadline was yesterday. I've received all except five, but I'll send out reminder emails today for those authors.
I have another trailer today! I adored the first season of The Mandalorian, and the trailer for season 2 dropped last week. This is the way. Take a look!
#AmWriting, #DuneTrailer, #AmWatching
I feel like I don't have much to report, but that doesn't mean nothing is going on. All the Bad Moon Rising spots are filled, and more than half of the authors have returned their info. You guys are in for such a treat this year! I've also been working on the sequel to Subject A36. Last week I mentioned that I write out of order, so I've been cutting, pasting, and rearranging files to look more like chapters. I know there's got to be an easier way to do this, but it's just the way my brain works. Must be a short in there somewhere.
Back in college, I started reading the Dune series by Frank Herbert and got to the fourth or fifth book. The 1984 movie was a disappointment, but the trailer for the new movie really has me excited. And the cast has some heavy hitters who seem perfect for the roles – take a look.
Shoutout to Priscilla and Staci (I think?) who recommended Lucifer. I started watching it last week and I'm loving it. Tom Ellis is hilarious along with his hints of darkness – I'm sorry I waited this long to give it a try. Thanks for the rec, guys!
Derby Fun and #AmWatching
Although four months late, this was a beautiful Derby weekend in KY and temps were pretty mild compared to what they've been. Hubby and I spent Derby day at a small gathering of friends and family. Lots of food, several varieties of bourbon, and many bets on horses that didn't pay off. We're not big gamblers, but hubby and sons (not me because I'm horrible at it) usually place a few bets througout the day for fun. Before the last race, we all draw numbers corresponding to the horses, and I came in third with Mr. Big News winning me the glass and mini bottle in the pic – woo hoo! It was a fun-filled day, and one I'm glad we were able to celebrate even four months late.
My oldest son was here for the weekend, as well as some of his friends who aren't local anymore, for an even more important event – fantasy football draft. They've been doing this together for years, even though one of them is now living in Australia. I have no idea what time it was in his part of the world when they began yesterday, but my son had plenty of lists and charts he'd made in preparation. I was just glad to have both sons here for lunch yesterday – it's a rare occasion these days.
If you ever watched The Karate Kid, you've probably seen ads for Cobra Kai on Netflix. It's incredibly difficult for me to find something hubby will watch, but I decided to spring this one on him – and he's hooked. Yes, it's cheesy and pretty laughable at times, but it's also full of Karate Kid Easter eggs you'll pick up on if you're a fan of the movie. Underlying themes of how to be a better dad/person/friend are often covered up by immature high school rivalries and alpha male crap, but if you look deeply – sometimes very deeply (you may need a shovel) – you'll discover them. The episodes are less than thirty minutes each, and there are two seasons. If you're a child of the 80s, you might enjoy it.
#AmWriting, #AmWatching, and #BadMoonRising
Question to the writers out there – do you write out of sequence? My brain tends to put a story together in a non-linear fashion and several years ago, I thought that was wrong. Books couldn't possibly be written that way. After reading an interview with a successful author who mentioned that was the technique she used, I suddenly felt validated. A whole new world opened up for me, and I thought maybe I could actually write a book. I'm working on my fourth novel and just figured out last week which file was my first chapter. I've got somewhere around 30K words for the sequel to Subject A36 spread across sixteen different files. What's your process?
After seeing several friends mention it and at the urging of my youngest son, I finally started watching The Umbrella Academy on Netflix (thanks, Tessa!). I'm absolutely hooked. Love the characters (I knew in the first ten minutes Klaus was my favorite) and their whole dysfunctional family dynamic, the time travel storyline, the powers they have – I'm already halfway through season one, and season two dropped recently, so I'm excited I have plenty of episodes ahead of me.
Only one spot remains for Bad Moon Rising – tell your horror, thriller, and supernatural author friends to contact me!
Writing Gods, #TheBatman Trailer, and #BadMoonRising
So, last Monday I'm working on the sequel to Subject A36, boosting the word count. All of a sudden, my laptop crashes, then starts up again. I try to open the file, which had around 2K words in it, and nothing. Says it's corrupt, and there's a little red X beside it. I take a deep, calming breath, tell myself it's Monday, I'd planned to get in a few hours of writing, and of course something had to go wrong. What else did I expect? The writing gods scoffed, much in the same vein as Soup Nazi on Seinfield – No word count for you! I Google what to do about this problem, read through solution after solution, try several options, but nothing works. Again – what else did I expect? I call my computer guru friend, who immediately abandons her couch-buying expedition and comes to my aid. Although I insisted she didn't need to drop everything, that's just the kind of friend she is – how lucky am I? After arriving and then doing some research of her own, she restored my file, with not one word lost. Woo-hoo! Thanks, Susan!
The trailer of The Batman dropped this weekend, and I'm loving this darker version – it can't release soon enough for me. Some fans are skeptical about Robert Pattinson as Batman, but I think he can pull it off. If you've only seen him in the Twilight movies, I understand your skepticism. But I've also seen several of his indie movies – don't underestimate him. I think you'll be surprised.
Very few spots remain open for Bad Moon Rising. If you're an indie horror, thriller, or supernatural/paranormal author looking for FREE book promotion, click HERE for details.
Chihuly and #BadMoonRising
Last week, a couple friends and I visited Cheekwood Estate and Gardens in Nashville where they're currently featuring a Chihuly exhibit. Until about two years ago, I was unfamiliar with this artist – then we visited another exhibition at Biltmore Estate in NC, which resulted in me becoming a big fan. I'd never been to Cheekwood, but the grounds are beautiful and the artwork speaks for itself, as you can tell by the pictures.
We enjoyed meandering through the gardens and gazing in awe at the outside sculptures first, then moved on into the mansion for a tour – just in time, because the rain started right as we entered. The library was my favorite room (duh) – all those old books, and such a fantastic collection! If I'd been the guide in that room, no doubt I'd be fired for sitting down and reading all day instead of doing my job.
We thought we'd seen all the Chihuly exhibits, but were surprised to find more in the gallery inside the mansion. None of us were aware he also did pedestal works, but as you can see from the first picture below, they're also gorgeous. It was nice to get away for a few hours and venture out into civilization. Other visitors maintained their distance, and every person we encountered was masked.
As a reminder, I still have spots available for Bad Moon Rising in October – free publicity! For more details, click HERE.

Hello friends!
We are like any other family, each one of us has it's own lacks, fears, opinions and doubts. Therefore, sometimes we argue, get estranged from one another and run away. But, we always gather back together, in a circle, and talk and put efforts to connect more than ever before! In this way, we are reconnecting and growing together all the time. We are learning how to listen, treat and love each other. We are learning about relationships, and what makes them such an important part in our lives.
We don't want to keep our experiences for ourselves, but rather, we want to share them with all of you. So come with us and discover how to connect the human in people!
Grandpa Alex
I am retired now, but I used to be a psychiatrist. I prefer to be alone in the company of books, rather than being in a crowd of people. I have always been this way, even as a young boy. I had friends, but I liked to stay in my room and read. Even now when I'm a grandfather, I like to talk to my grandchildren and other young people to find out what's on their minds and share with them some of my own concerns. I think we can learn a lot from each other, and that the age difference in such conversations can be an advantage, not an obstacle. Do you have someone older you like to talk to?
I go to elementary school. They call me "little scientist" because I'm interested in my surroundings and I ask countless questions. I am especially interested in nature and how we can live in harmony with it. I love to spend time with my friends and I always look for ways we can all play together, talk, and feel loved and accepted. What do you like to explore?
Mom Juno
I work as a teacher. I love to observe the world around me. That's why I make photographs. I like to record moments that are precious to me and the beauty I see around me. When I take photos, I share my feelings with others. I like to work with children and young people. I think kids understand the world we live in better than we adults think they do. What do you think?
Grandma Sofia
I am retired, like my husband. I used to be a teacher. Throughout my life, I have always been interested in a lot of things, which motivated me to travel a lot. I used to be a supporter of the hippy movement. I like nature, but I like people, too. Whenever I could, I fought against injustice. I've always been eager to help others. I still enjoy spending time with children and young people. I want to teach them how to hold a conversation and how to respect differences. I believe young people are ready to make this world a better and happier place in which they will also be happy. They tell me I'm a "cool" grandma because I'm still interested in whatever's new. Does injustice bother you? Have you ever experienced injustice?
I'm finishing high school. Like my dad, I like music very much, and I play guitar. I have also started working as a DJ and making my own money. I like to joke and have fun, but I also like moments of solitude to think about the world we live in and how we can make it a better place for us all. We young people like to talk and listen to each other in order to solve problems together and hopefully make this world even more beautiful. What do you like to talk about?
Dad Peter
I like to spend time with my friends. I love listening to music, so it's no surprise that I make music too. I play guitar and sometimes drums. When I play, I think about lots of things, and some of those thoughts are about the future. I work as a manager in a company. I always want to know where someone works and what their job is. I am especially interested in what my children want to be when they grow up. I would like to know if they will leave a mark in this world. What would you like to be when you grow up?
We are giving you a story on a topic from which we adults run away even more than kids. In this story, I touched the topic of aging, transience, and wisdom that only life can give us. I deeply hope that you and your kids will enjoy it. Take some time and talk about the beauty of time that is fleeting and how we can make the most of every moment.
I am as great as I make my friends great
A story of one teacher inspired me to make this picture book in which I touched the topic of bullying a bit and in which I tried to gently encourage a conversation about the motive of bullying and how we can openly talk about those kinds of motives. This storybook is an invitation to talk to each other about that part of our human nature, how to recognize it in ourselves, and how to get away from it. It's meant for everyone, big and small, those who are bullies and those who are victims of bullying, because after all, whether we like it or not, we're all stuck together.
I am as great as I make my friends great
I am as great as I make my friends great
"Stuck Together" is back in a new style with a new storybook "Far Away, Yet Together". This is not another story about coronavirus, this is a story about how connection does not know about the distances, how our thoughts and love in our hearts, transcend all the space with which we are sometimes separated in this state of corona crises. This is a story about today's times, in today's world and how to get the best out of it. About how our world has become very small, how with just a one click we can bring it closer to ourselves and, more importantly, that just with a click we can come closer to one another. In the story "Far Away, Yet Together" find out is it about a mouse and keyboard click, or a click we have to make in our heart…
It is the right time to talk about nature, how it affects us and how we affect it in return... For this reason, in the new storybook "Where all the fish have gone?", we are travelling to the seaside to talk about how there are less animals nowadays in contrast to the times when we, parents, were children, or even more so when our grandparents were children. This is the story about how, when we are dedicated to each other, all unnecessary things cease to be important and we no longer have to accumulate them to fill some empty space within ourselves. When we turn to each other, we can feel complete…
A storybook for kids (and adults as well…) about how to get along with your family, and with the world in general while being stuck with each other during these strange times. Establishing meaningful conversations and trying to feel each other are one of the main things that will enable us to get us through these strange times and help us to build a better world out of this mess. Mutual understanding and responsibility are gently described in this story book through the story, illustrations and workshop questions that can help a child to clarify the situation we are in and how to get the best out of it.
Why do some people have more, and some less?
"Why do some people have more, and some less?" is a story about how in life, we frequently, get to meet people who might have more than us, or on the other hand we meet people who have less than us, and how having more or less is not the main thing that should define the quality of our relationships. Life reminds us a lot of times and in many forms, that relationships are defined by much more deeper and important things. This is a storybook about how we shouldn't feel smaller around people who have more than us, but that we also shouldn't feel bigger around the people who have less than us, rather we should enjoy what we have and what makes us special.
My brother is growing up
As we grow, we change, want to learn new things and give up on some old habits and interests. This is a story about growing up and all the changes it brings into our lives, as well as lives of people around us. We have to learn how to change and develop together and how to help each other along the way. In this story we learn together how to grow into our best selves and help others do that as well.
new in class
We all found ourselves once or more times in life in a situation where we didn't know anybody around us. This is not an easy situation to find yourself in, especially if you are a kid. This is a story about the challenges we find ourselves in, being in a new place, and how to overcome them or help others to overcome them.
Set of playing cards: "Get to Know Me" The game is played in a circle, every player takes one card from the bunch of cards which are turned with their pictures bottom down. The players answer the question first which is on their card and ask every other player the same question which they answer to in a circle. You can ask sub-questions according to the main question in order to help the other players to feel warm and accepted in the circle. At tge end everyone in the circle should answer all the questions. The game can be played during the meal, on the beach, on the floor, practically anywhere where a circle can be formed.

The word Hepatitis means an inflammation of the liver. This condition can be self-limiting or can even progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis, or cancer of the liver.
Hepatitis viruses are the most common cause of hepatitis in the world but in addition to it, other infections, toxic substances (e.g. alcohol, certain drugs), and autoimmune diseases can also lead to hepatitis. There are 5 main hepatitis virus types which are A, B, C, D, and E. These 5 types are of a major cause of concern because of the potential for outbreaks and epidemic spread and the burden of illness and death they cause.
In particular, Hepatitis B and C are the most common cause of deaths, with 1.4 million lives lost each year and together, are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and cancer. Amidst the current pandemic, viral hepatitis continues to take thousands of lives each day.
Hepatitis A and E are generally caused by the ingestion of contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B, C, and D typically occur as a result of parenteral contact with infected body fluids. Common routes of transmission for these viruses include:
- Contaminated blood or blood products
- Invasive medical procedures using contaminated equipment and
- Hepatitis B transmission from mother to baby at birth or from a family member to child
- Sexual contact
Acute infection may occur with little or no symptoms or may include symptoms such as:
- Jaundice (yellowness of the skin and the white areas of the eyes)
- Dark urine
- Extreme fatigue
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
World Hepatitis Day is commemorated each year on the 28th of July to spread awareness of viral hepatitis. Around 290 million people over the world are living with viral hepatitis without being aware. If we do not find the undiagnosed ones and help them recuperate, millions will continue to lose their lives.
This year's theme is "Hepatitis-free future," with a major focus on preventing Hepatitis B (HBV) among mothers and newborns as HBV can be prevented among newborns through the use of safe and effective vaccines.
What Are the Signs & Symptoms of Hepatitis?
Some people with hepatitis show no signs of having the disease. Others may have these symptoms:
- Overly tired
- Flu-like symptoms
- Jaundice - Yellowing of skin and whites of eyes
- Stomach pain (especially on the upper right side)
- Dark brown pee
- Light-colored stools (poop)
- Poor appetite for days in a row or weight loss
Let's see what are the causative factors of Hepatitis A, B, C, and D in children.
What is Hepatitis A?
Hepatitis A is the most common type of hepatitis to contract in children. The virus generally lives in stools of the people who are already infected. Hence, it's important to wash your hands before eating and after going to the bathroom. If you don't and use the same hands to handle and eat food, Hepatitis A virus might end up in your food, and ultimately inside your body.
Fruits, vegetables, and shellfish (such as prawns and lobster) also can carry hepatitis if they were bred in contaminated water or in unsanitary conditions. Hepatitis A does affect people for a short time, but they recover and it does not come back.
Can Hepatitis A Be Prevented?
Yes, it can. But one needs to follow the following steps to help keep them safe from hepatitis A:
- Regular and thorough hand washing - especially after going to the bathroom or diapering a baby, and before eating
- Washing fruits and vegetables before eating them
- Do not eat raw shellfish
- Getting the vaccine for Hepatitis A - Getting vaccinated helps a person's body make antibodies that protect against hepatitis infection. The hepatitis A vaccine is now given to all kids when they're between 1 and 2 years old, and to people who are traveling to countries where the virus could get into the food and water supply.
What about Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C?
Although Hepatitis A is a short-term illness that goes away completely, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can turn into serious long-term illnesses for some people.
Teens and young adults are more at risk for getting these two viruses. Hepatitis B and C get passed from person to person the same ways that HIV does
- Through direct contact with infected body fluids. Hepatitis B and C are even more easily passed in fluids and needles than HIV
- Through sexual contact
- By sharing needles (used to inject illegal drugs) that have been contaminated with infected blood
- Even when infected people don't have any symptoms, they can still pass the disease on to others
Sometimes mothers with Hepatitis B or C pass the virus along to their babies when they're born. Hepatitis B and C also can get passed in ways you might not expect it to such as:
- Getting a manicure or pedicure with unsterilized nail clippers or other dirty instruments.
- Getting a tattoo, if dirty needles are used, is another way someone can get Hepatitis B or C
How to prevent Hepatitis B and C?
Nowadays, all babies get vaccinated against the hepatitis B virus in a series of three shots over a 6-month period. Doctors also recommend vaccination for all kids and teens younger than 19 years old that had not been vaccinated as babies or didn't receive all the three doses. Unfortunately, there's no vaccine for Hepatitis C yet.
What Do Doctors Do?
A doctor who thinks someone may have hepatitis may ask questions like these:
- Has the person been around any child who works in health care or childcare?
- Did the person stick him or herself with a dirty needle or get a tattoo with a dirty needle?
- Did the person have contact with the bodily fluids of someone who has hepatitis infection?
- Did the person have a blood transfusion when they were a baby?
- Have any of the person's family members had hepatitis?
- Could the person have eaten food that was contaminated?
- The doctor can order a blood test to see if someone has hepatitis and accordingly treat
How Is Hepatitis Treated?
- Drink enough fluids
- Eat healthy and fresh foods
- Get adequate rest
- Family members may need to get hepatitis vaccines if they haven't
- Get follow-up blood tests
- Sometimes, the blood tests may show that someone is a carrier of hepatitis but he or she won't have hepatitis symptoms but could pass the infection to other people
- Sometimes, blood tests will continue to show that some people still have Hepatitis B or C, which means they may have chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis. If so, they will need to eat healthy foods and take very good care of themselves by getting rest and visiting the doctor regularly.
- In some cases, someone with chronic hepatitis may get special medicine for the condition.
Let's keep our children and ourselves safe by using the above information. Let's take care of our liver health as well by washing our hands thoroughly.

text: Ingmar 0 Posted February 27, 2020 So, what an interesting surprise it has been, coming back and catching up on the Cakewalk news of the last 3 years after taking a long break from any sound and music production. I invested a lot on STEAM with Sonar, its upgrades, sample libraries and some plugins. When I originally saw that Cakewalk was acquired and that Sonar was being killed off, I basically came to terms and tried my best to forget about my investments and I have since distanced myself from any form of audio production, until now. Slowly getting back into this world and trying to piece back together the pieces... I was quite amazed to realize that Sonar Platinum has now basically been released for free with support. This excited me and I immediately started researching how to get my other Sonar Platinum related purchases on STEAM working with Cakewalk by Bandlab, but it feels messy and it might have been false hope... First off, I tried re-installing Sonar Platinum with a Lifetime pass on STEAM, but it requests my email address which is then rejected with this error message: Quote SteamReg The server rejected the E-mail: '***my email address***'. Verify that you are using the the E-mail associated with the product in your Cakewalk Account. At this point I discovered Cakewalk by Bandlab and how to install it. At first, I was satisfied with my loss with this replacement, but what about all of the plugins etc. ? I read on other forums that Cakewalk by Bandlab should easily discover and utilize your previous Sonar Platinum plugins, but it seems like it would only if you never uninstalled Steam Platinum after it died. I have not tried installing all of my purchases yet, but these are the issues I have encountered so far; CA-2A Leveling Amplifier: Quote CA-2A Leveling Amplifier Sorry, a fatal error occurred: Failed to locate resources folder. Rapture Session & Pro: Quote The following plug-in caused an error during load: Rapture x64 The failure point was reported as: Main Call Has anyone else here successfully migrated from STEAM with full use of their previous purchases? Should I give up, or is there a way to continue where I left off? Thanks for reading, I hope someone can have some useful feedback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The president made another pitch yesterday for his health care bill, which now teeters on the edge of well-deserved extinction. This time the venue was Ohio and the target audience nervous seniors who see their Medicare Advantage plans going up in smoke.
Well, at least this time Barack Obama didn't continue to perpetuate the fiction that "if you like your health plan you can keep it," since for 27 million seniors that simply won't be true.
Instead he insisted "this proposal adds almost a decade of solvency to Medicare." Of course, you cut it by $500 billion and that helps balance the books. No magic there.
And he touted the fact that it would help close a gap in prescription drug coverage known as a doughnut hole. Of course it does that over a decade, so seniors looking for immediate relief, well, let's just hope they're in reasonably good health today.
There is an air of increasing desperation around this bill, the president and those around him who will engage in all manner of distortion – all for the greater good of seeing it passed.
White House adviser David Axelrod suggested on ABC's "This Week" Sunday that Massachusetts "has a health care plan that is similar to one that we are trying to enact here."
Moments later Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) – who is becoming our new hero for his candor – called that exactly what is was, "spin," adding, "The American people are tired of this crap."
Wow, if that isn't the truth!
He pointed out, quite rightly, that "they didn't cut Medicare when they passed the bill in Massachusetts. They didn't raise $500 billion on the American people when they passed the bill in Massachusetts."
He might have added that it would not be feasible but for the federal government picking up half the cost of Medicaid – including all those people who were added to the MassHealth rolls under our bill.
Now THAT's the truth!

Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., slammed President Donald Trump's treatment of G-7 allies.
Cardin's comments came in a Monday interview on CNN's "New Day" morning program.
"I think President Trump is the one who's the outsider in the G-7," Cardin said. "The manner in which he has treated our closest allies has been really difficult to understand.
"We need Canada's help and support. We need support of the G-7. These are Democratic countries that share our values and yet the president seems to want to go it alone when it comes to working with our closest allies.
"Everything I've heard on the trade front is that the Canadians, the Mexicans, our European allies . . . all have been extremely disappointed by the way President Trump has brought up the trade issues.
"To say Canada stabbed the president in the back . . . I just think that's a creative criticism. It just doesn't exist."
He stressed the countries have to work together.
Trump "started criticizing our allies when he became president," he said.
Cardin maintained America's allies have made have helped make "America the great nation that it is."
Trump branded Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as "dishonest" and "weak" after the weekend's G-7 summit.

The Red Devils take on the Blues in the semi-final of the FA Cup and speaking before the match, Chelsea boss has clearly stated the major issue his side are going to face at Wembley.
The Red Devils front three along with Bruno Fernandes are easily playing some of the finest attacking football in the Premier League right now the Chelsea boss Lampard has admitted the fact that his players will have to sweat it out on Sunday.
'We know they're playing well,' he told in his press conference. 'They have a very potent front three, possibly the most potent front three in the country on pure numbers anyway and obviously [Bruno] Fernandes has made a big difference since arriving in January.
'You see the vitality that's brought to their team with individual quality but we know that.
'We have to be optimistic in ourselves, deal with their threats, and bother about us as well.'
There's no denying that if the likes of Rashford, Martial, and Fernandes can find their rhythm early on during the match then the Blues will be in big trouble at Wembley.
But while talking about this matter, Lampard has also hinted that he could try and dispute fire with fire(Christian Pulisic).
Frank Lampard added: 'Coming to the Premier League is very hard because of the physical nature of the league. We have to remember how young Pulisic is and also the summer that he had.
'I think he found those physical demands pretty tough in the beginning and now you're seeing him pact with those favorable.
'A lot of that is a credit to himself and how he's approached it – he's worked with our stability and overhauling coach Adam Burrows, who's tremendous, but they've worked together so it's Pulisic who has to take on that commitment and he has.
'Physically that's helped him but it's also just his talent is coming through. Looking ahead, I want to see more of what he's shown in current times which is goals and assists because that's what the best in the world do in that position.

- Butterbur is a perennial shrub, found throughout Europe as well as parts of Asia and North America. It is usually found in wet, marshy ground, in damp forests, and adjacent to rivers or streams. The leaves of the plant are responsible for its botanical and common names. The common name is attributed to the large leaves being used to wrap butter during warm weather.
- Butterbur has been traditionally used as an antispasmodic and analgesic (pain reliever), specifically for conditions afflicting the stomach, bile ducts, and duodenum (part of small intestine). Butterbur is believed to help strengthen digestion and improve obstructed bile flow. Butterbur has also been given for inflammation of the urinary tract and cramps. There is compelling initial evidence from human trials to suggest benefits in prevention of migraine headache. Evidence in support of use for allergic rhinitis prevention is also promising. Benefits have not been demonstrated scientifically for any other condition.
- Use should be limited to commercially available products free of pyrrolizidine alkaloids that are generally believed to be well-tolerated.
Evidence Table
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
B Allergic rhinitis prevention –
Comparisons of butterbur to prescription drugs such as fexofenadine (Allegra®) and cetirizine (Zyrtec®) have reported similar efficacy. These results suggest benefits of butterbur for prevention of allergic rhinitis. Additional study is warranted before a strong recommendation can be made.
Pain relief and headache prevention are traditional uses of butterbur. Current, available evidence is compelling enough to suggest benefits of butterbur for migraine prevention, although additional evidence is necessary before a strong recommendation can be made. Comparisons to other agents used for this purpose such as beta-blockers or feverfew have not been conducted.
There is limited human evidence in this area, although preliminary research suggests that butterbur may not suppress allergic skin reactions when compared to the prescription drug fexofenadine (Allegra®), which does suppress these reactions. Additional study is needed.
Butterbur was used historically to treat asthma, and initial human research suggests possible benefits. However, additional study is needed to make a firm recommendation.
*Key to grades:
The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Adults (18 years and older)
- Studies have reported safety and good tolerability of commercially available butterbur products (which are free of potentially carcinogenic pyrrolizidine alkaloid constituents), when used orally in recommended doses for up to 12-16 weeks.
- For allergic rhinitis, 50 milligrams of standardized butterbur (Petadolex®, standardized to contain 7.5 milligrams of petasin and isopetasin per 50-milligrams tablet) has been used twice daily. A large study used one tablet of carbon dioxide extract standardized to 8.0 milligrams of total petasin per tablet (Tesalin®), taken four times daily, while a smaller study reported that 2 standardized tablets taken three times daily was effective.
- Dosing for asthma is undefined due to a lack of evidence. However, 50 milligrams of standardized butterbur (Petaforce®), administered in two divided daily doses, in patients maintained on inhaled corticosteroids has been used. Petadolex® 150 milligrams daily in three divided daily doses for 2-4 months has also been studied.
- For migraine prophylaxis, 50-75 milligrams Petadolex® twice daily for up to four months has been studied. One study suggested that the 75-milligram dose but not the 50-milligram dose is effective.
Children (younger than 18 years)
- For asthma, 50-150 milligrams daily (depending on age) of a pyrrolizidine-free butterbur rhizome extract standardized to 7.5 milligrams of petasin and isopetasin per 50-milligram tablet (Petadolex®) may be effective. However, due to a lack of safety and efficacy data, butterbur cannot be recommended for this or any other use in children at this time.
The below doses are based on scientific research, publications, traditional use, or expert opinion. Many herbs and supplements have not been thoroughly tested, and safety and effectiveness may not be proven. Brands may be made differently, with variable ingredients, even within the same brand. The below doses may not apply to all products. You should read product labels, and discuss doses with a qualified healthcare provider before starting therapy.
- Avoid in individuals with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to Petasites hybridus or other plants from the Asteraceae/Compositae family such as ragweed, marigolds, daisies, and chrysanthemums.
Side Effects and Warnings
- Studies have reported safety and good tolerability of commercially available butterbur products (which are free of potentially carcinogenic pyrrolizidine alkaloid constituents), when used orally in recommended doses short-term. Raw, unprocessed butterbur plant should not be ingested due to the potential hepatotoxicity (liver damaging) of pyrrolizidine alkaloids with long-term use (specifically, concern of veno-occlusive disease). This includes any teas, capsules of raw herb, or unprocessed tinctures or extracts. Use should be limited to commercially available products that are free of pyrrolizidine alkaloids. The plant's pyrrolizidine alkaloids are also thought to be carcinogenic (cancer causing), mutagenic, and nephrotoxic (kidney damaging).
- When taken by mouth, butterbur may cause headache, drowsiness, fatigue, itchy eyes, eye discoloration, breathing difficulties, skin discoloration or pruritis (severe itching).
- Butterbur taken by mouth may also cause sustained constipation, discoloration of stool, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), severe nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach upset. Butterbur may increase liver enzyme levels.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
- Butterbur (Petasites hybridus) is not recommended in women who are pregnant or breastfeeding due to a lack of safety studies.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements. There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy. Consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience side effects.
Interactions with Drugs
- Administration of butterbur with anticholinergics may not be advisable. Numerous drugs and drug classes may interact with anticholinergic agents. Examples include: acetophenenazine, amantadine, amitriptyline, atropine, benztropine, bethanechol, biperiden, brompheniramine, carbinoxamine, chlorpromazine, clemastine, clindinium, clozapine, cyclopentolate, cyproheptadine, dicyclomine, diphenhydramine, dixyrazine, ethopropazine, fenotherol, fluphenazine, haloperidol, homatropine, hyosciamine, ipratropium, loxapine, mesoridazine, methdilazine, methotrimeprazine, olanzapine, oxybutynin, perazine, periciazine, perphenazine, pimozide, pipotiazine, prochlorperazine, procyclidine, promazine, promethazine, propiomazine, quinidine, scopolamine, thiethylperazine, thioridazine, thiothixene, trifluoperazine, triflupromazine, trihexyphenidyl, trimeprazine, triprolidine. Consult with a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, before taking butterbur preparations.
Interactions with Herbs and Dietary Supplements
- Raw, unprocessed butterbur may contain toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids, although commercially available products should be free of pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Nonetheless, concomitant use of other agents containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids should be avoided due to the potential for additive toxicity.
- Combination use with anticholinergic agents may potentiate therapeutic and adverse effects. Examples of anticholinergic herbs include belladonna, bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara), henbane (Hyoscyamus niger), and Jimson weed (Datura stramonium).
Most herbs and supplements have not been thoroughly tested for interactions with other herbs, supplements, drugs, or foods. The interactions listed below are based on reports in scientific publications, laboratory experiments, or traditional use. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy.

Text description provided by the architects. Another expanded site for the Starter Home* thesis, the 9th Street development is comprised of 12 homes, with 10 single-family and one two-family, occupying an existing warehouse and vacant parcel. The zoning for this transitioning industrial edge required abnormally large lot minimums for single-family structures. This mandated a tactic that leveraged the density allowed under multi-family developments but organized the site as a single-family assemblage.
The approach required a subversion of the conventional legal structure, which usually applies individual ownership to the interior of one unit, but in this case, creates provisional lots and realizes autonomous ownership as espoused by the Starter Home* agenda.
Historically a neighborhood home to both industry and low-density residential, the Irish Channel has precedent for the adjacencies created with the 9th Street scheme i.e. homes and industry occupying the same city block. Though each home spans three stories, the height of the buildings aligns with the industrial building context. Adjacencies not only appear natural but also are entirely relevant.

Friends, colleagues, and family mourn the passing of Thomas J. Mabry, PhD, a natural products chemist and biologist. He was 83 years old. Mabry spent his career in the department of botany at the University of Texas – Austin (UT), working from 1962 until his retirement as professor emeritus in 2006. During his tenure, Mabry mentored over 70 graduate students for both master's and doctoral degrees.
"Tom will always be remembered by the scientific community for his cutting-edge contributions to chemotaxonomy, structural elucidation of important medicinal and poisonous plant natural products, and insights into the biochemistry and evolution of the very unique pigments known as the betalains," wrote Eloy Rodriguez, PhD, who earned his doctorate under Mabry's supervision (email to M. Blumenthal, December 21, 2015). Mabry's research group was the first to identify the structures of various natural compounds known as betalains. These plant pigments are present in beets (Beta vulgaris, Chenopodiaceae), cacti (Opuntia spp., Cactaceae), and bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spp., Nyctaginaceae), but they are wholly separate from red-purple-blue anthocyanins.
Mabry was born in Commerce, Texas, and grew up on a farm. After graduating as his high school's valedictorian, he attended East Texas State College (now a part of the Texas A&M University system) and earned both his bachelor's and master's degrees in chemistry. In between earning his master's and his doctorate, he served two years in the Air Force as a commissioned research chemist. In 1956, he earned his doctorate in organic chemistry from Rice University in Houston. Among his numerous professional and organizational affiliations, Mabry served on the Advisory Board of the American Botanical Council (ABC).
During Mabry's postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Zurich's Organic Chemistry Institute, he worked under the supervision of Professor Andre Dreiding to determine the structure of betanin, which at the time was thought to be an anthocyanin pigment in red beets. Dreiding's group proved otherwise, recognizing a completely new class of pigments: the betalains.1
After Mabry joined the faculty at UT, he dedicated himself to both his students and his research. Shortly after, in 1966, he organized the Phytochemical Society of North America and served as its first president. Maureen Bonness, PhD, another doctoral student of Mabry's, recalled that he was awarded numerous grants and always made sure that his students had the funds they required (email to M. Blumenthal, January 2, 2016). "Tom sincerely cared about everyone in his group," she wrote. "We were the lucky ones, to be in the Tom Mabry group."
"I will always remember Tom for his grand generosity, his outstanding mentorship, and his willingness to find ways to support the large number of graduate students in his laboratory," wrote Rodriguez. "Many of the former students were, and are still, outstanding scientists in their respective fields."
"I am very fortunate and grateful for having crossed paths with Tom early in my life," wrote Barbara Timmermann, PhD, ABC Advisory Board member and Distinguished Professor at the University of Kansas (email to M. Blumenthal, January 21, 2016). "I learned a great deal from his teachings, perennial enthusiasm, and willingness to chart new territories in the interface of chemistry and botany…. Always generous with his time and ideas, he led by example and I'm glad I listened to him. When I thanked Tom on graduation day for giving me wings and teaching me how to fly, he replied simply, 'Pass it on,' and this I keep trying."
Mabry served as the chair of the botany department at UT from 1980-1986, and under his leadership, it gained national recognition and acclaim. "Tom was a major force in the botany department at UT and, with an array of gifted colleagues, ensured the department's status as the best botany department in the country until it was reorganized out of existence," wrote Beryl Simpson, PhD, C.L. Lundell Professor of Systematic Botany at UT, and author of a leading textbook, Economic Botany: Plants in Our World (email to M. Blumenthal, December 22, 2015). "He was a major factor in my deciding to join the faculty."
The University of Texas honored Mabry's achievements and leadership by appointing him as a Jack C. Wrather Centennial Endowed Fellow at the university's IC2 Institute in 1986, by bestowing upon him the UT-Austin Graduate School's Outstanding Doctoral Teaching Award in 1991, and, upon his retirement, by creating the Professor Tom J. Mabry Endowed Excellence Fund in Phytochemistry and Plant Biology. Ten years later, in 2001, Mabry received the Norman R. Farnsworth Research Achievement Award from the American Society of Pharmacognosy. During his acceptance speech, Mabry said:
I proudly report that my role in complex biological chemistry investigations, and my stimulating interactions with a large number of fascinating colleagues and special friends continue still today to be a great, exhilarating, 40-year ride! It is written that a man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams. Well, I'm pleased to start each sunrise with dreams filled with love and hope; happily, a few of the dreams are even realistic. Just as in my weekly card game with seven good friends, I urge each new day to cut the cards, deal me a hand, and let us play!
In addition to these honors, Mabry received numerous accolades, awards, and grants over his lengthy career: a Guggenheim Fellowship at the University of Freiburg, Germany; the Alexander von Humboldt Senior Scientist Award for research with Professor Dietmar Behnke at the University of Heidelberg, Germany; the American Chemical Society Award for the Application of Chemistry to Food and Agriculture; and the Pergamon Prize from the journal Phytochemistry.
"Tom figured out how to make things happen: how to be successful within phytochemical research, within scientific publishing, within academia, within the vagaries of funding, and across continents," wrote Bonness. "The nexus was his cultivation of a prodigious network of people who were not only collaborators, but also friends. All this was done with a certain gusto, calculated, yet willing to take risks, and a hint of mischievousness."
Memorial services for Mabry were held in Austin on December 29, 2015. He is survived by his wife, Helga Johanna Humm Mabry; daughter, Michele Mabry Cooley; son, Patrick Thomas Mabry; three grandchildren; and hundreds of deeply grateful mentees, both official and otherwise.
"The legacy of Tom Mabry will live on forever in his many books, publications, assays, and his students," Rodriguez concluded. "I can truly say that Tom will be greatly missed by family and the world community, and most especially by a former young undergraduate."

don't know if anyone cares, but my entire family lives in Baton rouge and in Morgan City, BR will be without power and land lines for 4-6 weeks. I have a direct line in if you need to get ahold of anyone, they are short on gasoline for generators, but they have running water. MC is not so lucky, no water,sewage,power, and it's flooded.

Wolf Gold Slot is the new online slot that runs on 5 reels and 25 paylines from Pragmatic Play. You will get to feel the spirit of the Native Americans that is woven into the reels and can be felt with every spin. Shaman's adored the wolves and their symbolism, and if you choose to spin these reels you will find out why. Roam the rocky terrain in search for all the rewarding features right here for fun, or at any Pragmatic Play Casino for real.
How to Play Wolf Gold Slot
Set your bets and you will get to learn how to howl at the moon.
- Hit +/- buttons will draw up a panel where you can increase or decrease coins per line and coin value that will constitute the bet, or you can simply increase the total bet value.
- Reels will start moving the moment you hit Spin button
- Autoplay opens up a panel where you can choose Turbo Spin, Quick Spin and the number of automated spins.
Slot Features
The first glimpse of the slot will tell you that apart from spinning the reels against the sun bathed terrain you will also learn to howl at the moon with a chance of winning one from the three jackpots whose values are displayed above the reels.
Lone Wolf is the Wild that can substitute for all the symbols in the game except for the Scatter and the Money Symbols. The loner can appear in pack as wolves usually do and appear stacked on the reels.
Blazin Free Spins
Scattered sun bathed landscape appears only on reels 1, 3 and 5. Landing 3 will get you into the Free Spins round that you will start with 5 spins. During the feature, the 3 middle reels will spin together as one Giant Symbol. If you land any Scatters during these 5 spins you will get additional spins. For additional 3 Scatters you get 3 additional spins, and there are no limits to the number of spins that can be won.
Money Respin
The night falls and the moon becomes the Money Symbol which can show up on all the reels. With each spin the Moon can take on a random value from a predefined set or Mini and Major Jackpot values. Land 6 or more Money Moons and you trigger the Respin feature.
When the feature kicks off, the normal symbols will fade away and only Moon symbols will be left on the reels. Norma reels get replaced with a different set with only Moons and empty spaces. You start with 3 respins, and each additional Moon you land will stay on the reels until the round ends. Landing at least one Moon during the feature will reset the counter back to 3.
With a bit of luck you can fill all 15 positions with the Moon symbols at which point you can start howling from joy because that will get you the Mega Jackpot.
Wolf Gold is a pretty colorful game but with some pretty basic artwork and animation. When it comes to the slot overall, there is nothing we haven't seen before from Pragmatic, both in feature and design departments. There is 96% RTP attached and seems to be pretty entertaining. So waste no more time and take a trip through the sun bathed Prairie.
