Medication Summary
Drug treatment of sinus bradycardia is usually not indicated for asymptomatic patients. In symptomatic patients, underlying electrolyte or acid-base disorders or hypoxia should be corrected. Intravenous atropine may provide temporary improvement in symptomatic patients, although its use should be balanced by an appreciation of the increase in myocardial oxygen demand this agent causes. [10]
Although in the past, isoproterenol was used quite commonly in patients with bradycardia, further appreciation of its substantial risks has diminished its role. Temporary pacing is recommended in symptomatic patients who are unresponsive or only temporarily responsive to atropine, or in whom atropine therapy is contraindicated. Transcutaneous pacing, where available, is the initial procedure of choice.
Class Summary
These agents are indicated when symptoms of hypoperfusion exist. They are thought to work centrally by suppressing conduction in the vestibular cerebellar pathways. They may have an inhibitory effect on the parasympathetic nervous system.
Atropine IV/IM
Used to increase heart rate through vagolytic effects, causing increase in cardiac output.

The two individuals who were engaged in a conversation in a social media chat room which led to last Friday's incident on the Lawrence High School Campus have been identified, as a result of the investigation and subsequent comprehensive search of the buildings and grounds of the High School Campus. It is now clear that at no time was there any imminent threat to the Campus.
The safety and protection of the students and faculty of all of the City's schools is always of paramount concern for the Lawrence Police Department and the Lawrence School Department. This was evident by the large response of both local and state law enforcement resources. This matter is currently being reviewed by Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett's Office.

The 10 Most Asked Questions About Motor Vehicle Accidents
Frequent Questions following an Auto Collision
Keith Halperin DC: Interview with attorney Paul Ayan
1. I've been hurt in a collision that wasn't my fault. Will the other driver pay my medical bills?
The person at-fault is ultimately responsible to pay for all of your damages arising from the collision. However, the at-fault insurance company will normally not pay a dime until you settle your whole claim. You DO NOT want to settle your claim until you know the extent of your damages. You will not know a number of your damages until you have recovered and completed your medical treatment.
2. What is included in my bodily injury claim beyond the medical bills?
You are entitled to special damages and general damages. Special damages are quantifiable monetary losses, including but not limited to medical bills. General damages are essentially compensation for pain and suffering resulting from the collision.
3. Since the other insurance company won't pay my bills up front, who will?
If you bought Personal Injury Protection (PIP) under your auto insurance, your medical bills will be paid using your PIP.
4. What if I don't have PIP?
If you don't have PIP coverage but have health insurance, then your bills should be paid under your health insurance. If you have neither PIP nor health insurance, there are some providers that will work on a lien basis. In other words, the provider will wait to be paid until your claim settles. Otherwise, you may have to pay your medical bills up-front and then be reimbursed upon settlement of your claim.
5. What if I can't pay my bills up-front?
It is best to contact the health care provider as soon as possible and explain the situation. Many providers will allow you to set up a payment plan. Whatever you do, do not ignore the bill. It is worthwhile to make small payments. If you make no contact whatsoever, your bill is likely to be put into collections more quickly.
6. Not only am I not at fault, but the other driver does not have insurance; now what?
If you have Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UIM), (which you are STRONGLY encouraged to have) then your insurance company will handle your claim as if it were the at-fault party's insurance, and you will be able to recover all your damages. If you do not have UIM coverage, you will most likely be out of luck in recovering your damages.
7. Why is my insurance company forcing me to undergo a medical exam with a doctor who is not treating me?
Insurance companies use these exams to limit, reduce or stop your current treatment, thereby limiting, reducing or stopping the amount the company will pay out on your behalf. Rarely are these exams for your benefit.
8. Why is my own insurance company refusing to pay my medical bills?
The insurance industry is one of the few industries that make money by not paying for what you have purchased. Their profits are fueled by limiting, reducing and denying claims.
9. Is chiropractic treatment covered by PIP?
Yes, chiropractic care is covered, and unlike health insurance, a referral from your primary care doctor is not required. PIP also does not limit you to 12 chiropractic visits like some health insurance plans.
10. How much chiropractic treatment does PIP cover?
This answer depends on many factors and will be different in every case. Pursuant to the insurance policy language, PIP will only pay for treatment that is "reasonable and necessary" for injuries related to the collision. Again, insurance companies will use their own examiners to determine what is "reasonable and necessary." The amount of PIP coverage is also confined by the limits that you purchased. PIP policy limits are often $10,000, but higher limits can be purchased at a higher premium.

Missed op at laundromat. Mon, Jan 31, 2011.
01/31/2011. Journal entry. Missed opportunity. I wanted to do laundry before the big winter storm hit, because it looked like the roads would be bad for at least 3 days. I chose a laundromat which I haven't been to in a while because it's closer than my favorite one. I wanted to get back home in time, and I was cutting it close.
There was a Southeast Asian lady at the laundromat who was within conversation distance of me, and I did say something about the television that we were watching, but I procrastinated about asking where she was from, etc. I never got another (or made another) opportunity to speak with her.
The freezing rain started a few minutes before I got home, but I did make it back home before the roads iced up.

Fast And Furious Spinoff Gets Release Date
Universal may have pushed back the next Fast and Furious film by a whole year, but things are moving along swiftly for another of the franchise's flicks. The studio has stamped the upcoming Fast and Furious spinoff with an official release date.
The Hollywood Reporter announces that the movie, set to be a starring vehicle for Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, will ride into theaters on July 26, 2019.
Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley expressed enthusiasm about the news, telling the outlet, "Fast and Furious is one of Universal's most beloved properties, and we handle every decision we make surrounding this franchise with great care. The global brand of Fast and Furious is strong and full of iconic characters, and we look forward to continuing to build on the film that started it all, as well as expanding into different narratives beginning with our first spinoff."
Longtime franchise scribe Chris Morgan, who has been on script duty since 2006's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, is penning the spinoff. The story will focus on Johnson's character Luke Hobbs, a Diplomatic Security Service agent who flip-flopped between good guy and bad guy, and Statham's Deckard Shaw, the former British military officer turned assassin who was one of the series' villains before he was redeemed and ended up joining the motley crew of car enthusiasts.
Johnson first popped up in 2011's Fast Five, subsequently starring in four of the series' eight total films thus far. Statham joined the franchise with a cameo appearance in Fast & Furious 6 and co-starred in the two most recent installments. It was only in the last movie, The Fate of the Furious, that Universal noticed the actors' on-screen chemistry and began to consider a spinoff starring the two.
No deals have been made with the actors as of yet, but something tells us they won't turn down the opportunity.
Elsewhere in the Fast and Furious franchise, Fast 9 was reportedly delayed to make room for potential director scheduling. Sources state that filmmaker Justin Lin (who directed 2009's Fast & Furious, 2011's Fast Five, and 2013's Fast & Furious 6) could return to the series.
Sadly, one Fast and Furious actor isn't too happy about the upcoming spinoff, and even blames Johnson for the Fast 9 delay. A few weeks ago, Tyrese Gibson, who plays Roman Pearce, begged Johnson not to push back the movie with the planned Hobbs-Shaw spinoff.
"If you move forward with that Hobbs movie, you will have purposely ignored the heart-to-heart moment we had in my sprinter," Gibson wrote to Johnson on social media. "I don't wanna hear from you until you remember what we talked about. I'm on your timeline 'cause you're not responding to my text messages. Fast family is just that: a family. We don't fly solo."
Now that the film has actually been set until 2020, Gibson took to the public forums to pen a harsh message to Johnson. "Congratulations to The Rock and your brother-in-law a.k.a. 7 bucks producing partner [Hiram Garcia] for making the Fast and the Furious franchise about YOU. And like you, DJ, even if they call, I will not be deleting this post. [Goodnight], folks. See you in 2020 April. Fast family, right? Nah. It's about Team Dwayne. Three years. Will it be worth the wait? No Shaw, just Hobbs. Will this be another Baywatch? Guys, guys, just relax. I'm just a passionate film critic," Gibson wrote on Instagram.
Hopefully the Fast family can mend its broken bits before the series' spinoff hits theaters in 2019.

How can I install two switches that will be operating two separate sets of light fixtures? How to Wire Light Fixtures from Switches and Outlets, Example of Installing Wiring for Light Fixtures and Switches.© By: Dave Rongey
Guide for Wiring Switches and Outlets
Electrical Question: How can I install two switches that will be operating two separate sets of light fixtures?
- I need to wire two switches that will control two separate sets of light fixtures.
- The switches would be getting the power from a near by outlet.
- The power source will go to the switch box first, then to the light fixtures.
- I need a wiring diagram for switches and light fixtures.
This electrical question came from: Eric, a Handyman from Chatham, New Jersey.

Additional Comments: Love the web site. It helped with wiring some outlets. Very good diagrams, Thanks.
Dave's Reply:
Thanks for your electrical wiring question Eric.
How to Wire Light Fixtures from Switches and Outlets
Application: Wiring a Light Switch from a Wall Outlet.
Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced. This electrical work is best performed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor.
Tools Required: Specific to the scope of the work and the condition of the home and project. Electricians Tools, including Pouch of Hand Tools, Power Tools, Drill motor and Auger Drill Bits and Extension Cords, and a Voltage Tester.
Estimated Time: Depends on personal level experience, ability to work with tools and install electrical wiring.
Precaution: Identify the circuit power source at the panel, turn it OFF and Tag it with a Note before installing wiring or working or making connections.
Notice: Installing additional outlet wiring should be done through the local building authority, according to applicable local and national electrical codes, with a permit, and have required inspections.
Example of Installing Wiring for Light Fixtures and Switches
- Wiring Light Switches from an Outlet
With this wiring project, the outlet will provide the power source for the light fixtures which are controlled by the light switch, so the wire from the outlet leads to the switch location and then to the light fixture.
- Switch Box Wiring
At the switch box the white neutral wires are spliced together, and the ground wires are spliced and a pigtail wire is added and attached to the green ground screw on the light switch frame. The incoming power from the outlet is attached to one of the light switch screw terminals and the black wire of the cable leading to the light fixture is attached to the other light switch screw terminal. Connections to the outlet are basically color to color for the blacks, whites and green or bare ground wires.
- Wiring for Additional Light Switches to Control Separate Light Fixtures
The process for wiring one or more switches to control separate light fixtures is basically the same except that the incoming power is spliced with pigtails that will provide the power source to the additional light switches. The wiring leading to the light fixture is the same for one or more light switch and light fixture combination.

FAQs Frequently Asked Questions and Comments2 Responses to "How to Wire Light Switches From an Outlet"
Have a light switch that I am hooking up new recessed lights to. There is a 14/2 and 14/3 wire in the box. Only one hot wire 120v is present. I hooked the hot wire, neutral wire, and ground all from the 14/2 wire to the recessed light yet the light doesn't work. I tested the hot wire with my voltage tester and the 120v light on the tester came on. Any ideas on why the light doesn't work?

We made this change to equalize discounts between our in store and online customers.
I don't see gauge information anywhere, do you provide this?
I do not provide gauge information for a few reasons:
- Tension can vary greatly between people, and the same needle or hook size can result in significantly different gauge swatches.
- The same yarn in different patterns could use much different gauge - a drapey, lacy shawl will use a much loser gauge than a pair of socks, even though both may call for the same yarn.
Do you use dye lots?
While each skein is considered unique, I have been including a manufacturing code on yarn manufactured since about November 2021. These codes mean that the yarn was all dyed at the same time, so anything influencing the final product, such as water (which can sometimes change dye colour) or technique should be consistent.
This DOES NOT mean each skein will work up the same - we highly recommend changing skeins every 2 or so rows when using multiple skeins in a project to ensure the best blending.
Some skeins may have a coloured dot or may be missing the manufacturing code - this is because when we changed our labels in September 2022, it was too cumbersome to input each code. To simplify the process, if there were any yarns from a different dye lot than the majority, we added a coloured dot.
Do you make up samples of your colourways?
I don't and there are several reasons for this.
1. The cost associated with doing this would cause the costs of my products to go up. I have focused on creating a large variety of colourways, but this means my batches are often small, usually only 4 skeins of a new colour are dyed at one time. I simply can't afford to remove a skein for each new colourway to make into samples, even with volunteers knitting the samples (I don't have the time).
2. Factors such as gauge, needle size, circumference/width of project, starting point on the yarn, and knitting in the round versus knitting flat will affect how the colours may pool, especially with colourways that have a high likelihood of pooling. Different stitches will also affect the outcome.
3. As each batch, and even each skein within a batch, is unique to some degree, the sample done may differ from other skeins of the same colourway. This is why it's recommended to alternate skeins every few rows when using hand dyed yarns (if using more than one skein).
If you are uncertain about how to "read" a skein, feel free to send us a message. I've also included a generalization of how the colourway should behave in each listing: tonal, variegated, pooling, and gradient.
Are custom orders available?
Most repeatable colourways have an option to custom order 3, 4, or 5 skeins, so you can order the quantity needed (for example if you needed 9 skeins, you could order one each of the 4 and 5 skein options, or three of the 3 skein option).
I do custom orders of several colourways. This allows you to request the right number of skeins you need for your project, or select a different base than what is currently ready to ship. Custom orders will take between 4-6 weeks to be ready to ship out since yarn or dyes may also need to be ordered.

Last Sunday afternoon, most of Shimer College crowded into a small room to discuss the future of their school. The Assembly—a democratic body in which all students, faculty, staff, and trustees have equal votes—has traditionally been the moral authority of the college, while legal authority rests with the Board of Trustees. In last Sunday's special session, those two authorities clashed as the Assembly voted on resolutions condemning the Board's recent actions and the college's president.
The current conflict that threatens to rip Shimer apart is only the latest tribulation in the history of the tiny school, which bills itself as "Chicago's Great Books College" and has an enrollment of a little over 100 students. Founded in 1853 in bucolic Mount Carroll in western Illinois, the college faced mounting debts and declining enrollment in the 1970s. In 1978 the Board of Trustees voted to shut down the school, but the faculty and students wouldn't give up. They moved into a Victorian mansion in Waukegan at the mayor's invitation and remained there for almost 30 years with a communal government centered around the Assembly. In 2006, the college moved again to its present location in a few buildings on the Illinois Institute of Technology campus in the hope of attracting more students. Until recently it remained tucked away there, largely unnoticed by the outside world.
But then Thomas Lindsay came along. The school's new president was inaugurated last year and quickly stirred up opposition. "This thing really got going when President Lindsay fired the director of admissions without any internal consultation whatsoever," says Professor Albert Fernandez, who also serves as a trustee and the Speaker of the Assembly. Lindsay then chose a replacement whom a search committee had twice rejected. In a meeting on November 15, the Assembly passed several resolutions calling on Lindsay and the Board to respect Shimer's tradition of shared governance. In response, trustee Patrick Parker '54 wrote a letter to the Assembly informing them that financial donors like himself "expect, in return for our support, that the rest of the community will do its job, i.e. for the teachers to teach, the students to learn, and the managers to manage."
Parker's letter was accompanied by very similar ones from five other trustees, all of whom had several things in common. All had been appointed to the Board very recently. All had no previous ties to Shimer. All attacked the school's history of communal democracy. And almost all were prominent political conservatives, a point that articles in the Tribune and Chicago Reader have fixed on.
The letters caused an uproar among Assembly members, and tensions only rose over the following months. The next battle would be joined over the school's mission statement, which needed to be reviewed as part of the reaccreditation process. An online petition in support of the current mission statement, posted in December, received 144 signatures—almost one and a half times the size of the student body—but Lindsay made it clear that he wanted a new statement. On February 7, the Assembly voted to retain the current statement. Two days later, the faculty sat down for a meeting with Lindsay in which he informed them that he would be meeting with faculty members individually "to ascertain their commitment to the new mission statement," according to Professor and Dean of Students Stuart Patterson in an email interview. "To a person, the Faculty felt strongly that President Lindsay was indicating a linkage between commitment to his mission statement and employment at Shimer."
The faculty's response was a unanimous letter in support of the current mission statement that was read at the Board meeting on February 19 and 20, but to no effect. The vote, which was conducted by secret ballot for the first time Fernandez can remember, was 18 to 16 in favor of the new mission statement.
The resolution passed by the Assembly last Sunday took issue with the questionable process by which the Board had approved Lindsay's mission statement. The day before the Board vote, Parker had informed the trustees of an agreement signed three years before with a charitable foundation that he claimed required the school to adopt a new mission statement before the next Board meeting. When the Board's Executive Committee indicated its unanimous disapproval of the new statement, Lindsay had urged them to resign. In light of all this, the Assembly declared by an almost unanimous vote that it didn't recognize the "legitimacy or authority" of the new mission statement.
The other scheduled resolution, that the Assembly "has no confidence in the ability of President Thomas Lindsay to lead Shimer College," was tabled indefinitely after long and heated debate. "This is a very serious vote. It could well spell the death of the school," said Patterson. "If that's the will of the Assembly, then it's the will of the Assembly to strike out on their own as a new college." Owen Brugh '06, who attended the meeting, said that even considering the resolution sent a message to "the hardline Board members." "I don't think that they believe that this community is capable of this type of action," he says. "Are you really sure we're not capable of that?"

Buy Erimin 5 mg Tablet Online
Nimetazepam (marketed under brand name Erimin and Lavol) is an intermediate-acting hypnotic drug which is a benzodiazepine derivative. It was first synthesized by Buy Erimin 5 mg Tablet Online a team at Hoffmann-La Roche in 1962.It possesses hypnotic, anxiolytic, sedative, and skeletal muscle relaxant properties. Nimetazepam is also an anticonvulsant.It is sold in 5 mg tablets known as Erimin and Lavol. It is generally prescribed for the short-term treatment of severe insomnia in patients who have difficulty falling asleep or maintaining sleep. The sole global manufacturer of Nimetazepam (Sumitomo Japan) has ceased manufacturing Erimin since early November 2015. Patients being prescribed Erimin are being switched to Lavol and other hypnotics, e.g. estazolam, nitrazepam, flunitrazepam, etc.Taken orally, Nimetazepam has very good bioavailability with nearly 100% being absorbed from the gut. It is among the most rapidly absorbed and quickest acting oral benzodiazepines, and hypnotic effects are typically felt within 15–30 minutes after oral ingestion. The blood level decline of the parent drug was biphasic with the short half-life ranging from 0.5–0.7 hours and the terminal half-life from 8 to 26.5 hours (mean 17.25 hours).[citation needed] It is the N-methylated analogue Buy Erimin 5 mg tablets online of nitrazepam (Mogadon, Alodorm), to which it is partially metabolized. nitrazepam has a long elimination half-life, so effects of repeated dosage tend to be cumulative.There is a risk of misuse and dependence in both patients and non-medical users of Nimetazepam. The pharmacological properties of Nimetazepam such as high affinity binding, high potency, being short to intermediate – acting and having a rapid onset of action increase the abuse potential of Nimetazepam. The physical dependence and withdrawal syndrome of Nimetazepam also adds to the addictive nature of Nimetazepam.Nimetazepam has a particular reputation in South East Asia for recreational use, at around USD 7 per tab, and is particularly popular among persons addicted to amphetamines or opioids.Stimulant addicts do not have healthy coping mechanisms due to the nature of addiction, causing insomnia, depression and exhaustion. In addition, Nimetazepam has an anti-depressant and muscle relaxant effect.Nimetazepam also has withdrawal suppression effect and lower drug seeking versus nitrazepam in rhesus monkey (Macaca Mulatta).which might help stimulant addicts to overcome withdrawal symptoms.ERIMIN It is a benzodiazepine with hypnotic and anxiolytic properties and can usually be found in 5 mg individual foil wrap packets or strips. It is often called Erimin 5 on the streets. This is the box which Erimin comes from – it has the familiar red color scheme and the Sumitomo logo (looks like a four leaved clover) and each box contains 10 strips of 10 x 5 mg Erimin tablets.It is, however, just another benzodiazepine and is usually consumed with alcohol in recreational use circles and as a come down pill for Ecstasy (MDMA) users and also methamphetamine users.Buy Erimin 5 mg Tablet Online

As a staff, using SLLS, we can see which titles the children are reading, track who is regularly reading and those who might need some support in finding a genre or author to ignite their passion. Teachers can use the reports to track reading trends in the class, meaning we can prove our pupils have a love of reading and are accessing texts at the appropriate level to them. SLLS is simple to use but highly effective. We would highly recommend to anyone".

I do a waking hypnosis demonstration sometimes when I speak to groups. I ask a person to stand at a 90-degree angle to me (I'm standing also). I have them look straight up toward the ceiling and holding that position, close their eyes. I let them know that my hand is behind their back to support them, should they begin to fall backward. Then, I ask them to imagine that they are beginning to fall backward. I have them focus on what that looks like, feels like and sounds like. It usually just takes a few seconds before something happens. But what happens is interesting…
Typically, one of these three things happens:
- They don't move at all or more likely, they move a little bit one direction or the other but immediately quash it.
- They start to fall back, sometimes dramatically.
- They start to lean or fall over forward.
But each of those three things means the same thing. How can that be?
Perhaps The Biggest Misconception About Hypnosis
People think of hypnosis as something one person does to another. Some think of it as mind control. It is mind control in a way. When you get hypnotized, you're learning how to more effectively control yourself with your mind. It's what you think that dictates what happens. And what you think is your responsibility. If you want specific results, you've got to think specific things.
In other words, if I'm doing the above "fall over backward" exercise with you, the results you get depend on what you're thinking.
Hypnosis As A Critical Factor Bypass & Selective Thinking
In my previous article on waking hypnosis, I said that one definition of hypnosis is a bypass of the critical factor, plus selective thinking. A bypass of the critical factor simply means relaxing the analytical part of the mind. Selective thinking means concentrating on an idea. Relaxing the analytical part of the mind is a common thing. You do it when you allow yourself to accept the reality of a movie. Logically, you know the movie is a bunch of actors on a movie set. But you allow yourself to feel as if it's real — so you can get into the movie.
And you probably concentrate on a single idea multiple times each day. You know, when you're deeply engrossed enough to where everything else fades away a bit? That's it.
What You Think Determines What Happens In Hypnosis
Back to the three things that happen when people do the "fall over backward" exercise. Everybody gets results determined by their thinking. If they think, "This is silly, I'm not going to let him control me, I'll stand perfectly still," that's generally what happens. If they think, "He's going to make me fall over backward and I don't want that," sometimes they over-compensate and start to fall over forward. If they simply follow the instructions and concentrate on the idea and sensations of falling over backward, they usually start to fall (until I catch them or they catch themselves).
In other words, I don't control them beyond suggesting the idea. How they interpret the suggestion and respond to it is key. They control themselves. And that's the way it is with hypnosis.
What About Mind Control?
Listen, hypnosis requires wrapping the mind around an idea. Even in hypnosis, you can refuse to concentrate on an idea — you are free to reject any suggestion that comes in. And, in general, you won't follow suggestions that are against your morals or deeply held beliefs.
But it's possible to convince certain people to wrap their minds around ideas, even if they don't like those ideas or even if those ideas are unhealthy. If someone is convinced that a guru or spiritual leader has supernatural powers and that guru suggests the person feel compelled to do something, they just might. Why? Their critical factor is bypassed and the suggestion by the guru is accepted and the mind is wrapped around the idea. A lot of supernatural ideas fall into this category. Demonic possession, horoscopes, and the idea of hell can all be critical factor bypasses and if you let them, can lead to unhealthy selective thinking.
If you trust a doctor to the point where you substitute their analytical judgment for your own and the doctor says you're going to experience symptoms, you just might. If you wrap your mind around that idea you might make that happen, even if it was a misdiagnosis. A lot of uses of authority fall into this category.
Are these the kinds of hypnosis you want to be doing on yourself?
Do I Want This To Be True?
I think a good filter for protecting yourself against negative suggestion in the world is the "Do I want this to be true?" filter. I immediately reject any suggestion I receive that I don't want to be true. Then, I can consider the suggestion analytically to see if it has any merit. Here's an example. When she was in her late 70s, my mom was about to undergo heart surgery (she turns 91 soon). The surgeon came in and was chatting with her, pre-surgery. In the course of the conversation, he said, "As you get older, things break down." My mom said, "I don't like the way you're talking." He said, "It's true. We get older and things don't work so well anymore. Our bodies take on damage we can't repair." My mom said, "If my shoe were nearby, I'd pick it up and throw it at you."
She rejected his suggestion that her body was breaking down. She deliberately confronted his idea and rejected it. That's not how she chose to look at life.
But analytically, it makes sense to take getting older into account, doesn't it?
So, here's what I do. Anytime I hear a suggestion I don't want to be true ("You can't do that, it's not possible." "Things are getting worse in the world." "You have to be a jerk if you want to succeed."), I reject it outright. I hear a big "NO" inside my head.
Then, I make sure my analytical powers are engaged and check to see if there's any merit there. Feel free to use that for yourself 😉

Should parents be allowed to pick their children's sex for non-medical reasons?
Once upon
a time, there were a queen and a king who had three children, all of them boys.
They both loved their children dearly and made sure they had everything they
might need to flourish. Nevertheless, the queen and her husband still felt that
their family was incomplete without a daughter. They had hoped to have one
after the birth of their first son, but both of the queen's subsequent
pregnancies had produced boys. As she was now getting close to the age when she
could no longer reasonably hope to have more children, she and her husband were
worried that their wish for a daughter would never be fulfilled. Finally,
deciding not to leave what might be their last attempt to chance, they traveled through the
kingdom to solicit the assistance of an eminent enchanter. He was a wise man
renowned to have produced many miracles. Feeling sympathy for the royal couple,
the enchanter granted their request and prepared a special brew for them to
drink. Nine months later, the queen gave birth to a
beautiful daughter.
Few of
us, I assume, would find anything particularly objectionable about what the two
main protagonists of my tale choose to do. And obviously, the enchanter has a
real-life analogue in the modern world: fertility clinics, which allow
prospective parents to increase the likelihood of having a child of a
particular sex via procedures like IVF. More and more parents today are
expressing the desire to use sex selection for purposes similar to those of the
king and queen: this is generally referred to as "family balancing", i.e.
creating a more even male-to-female ratio among their children. In Australia, The
Health and Medical Research Council is currently reviewing whether to allow any
parents who use IVF to select their baby's gender. Just like in the UK, the
practice is currently only allowed in Australia when there is a risk that parents
will pass on genetic diseases.
Australian Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon declares herself "very
apprehensive" and "uncomfortable" about the prospect of a change to the current
laws towards greater permissiveness. But why such misgivings, if our intuition
in my fictional tale is that it is morally acceptable for the king and queen to
request the help of the enchanter in order to have a daughter while they still
can? IVF specialist Professor Gab Kovacs points out that the majority of couples
who ask for sex selection have family balancing as their motive, which suggests
that their case will typically be analogous to that of my fictional
possible objection to sex selection for non-medical reasons is that it is
likely to result in a significant gender imbalance at the level of the general
population, particularly in societies that display a cultural preference for
boys over girls. Whether or not such consequences would indeed obtain is an
empirical matter. There is evidence that such an outcome would not be a likely
one in countries like the UK (see e.g. Dahl 2005, pp.89-90; Wilkinson, 2008,
pp.381-82). Also, even it posed such a hazard, those who want to permit sex
selection for non-medical purposes have proposed various corrective measures
such as waiting lists for parents who desire a child of the most frequently
chosen sex (cf. Dahl, 2005, p.88).
possibility of creating a gender imbalance thus doesn't justify an outright
prohibition on sex selection for non-medical reasons. However, there is another
objection to allowing the practice, namely that doing so would give free reign
to questionable, because biased (esp. misogynistic) attitudes towards children of a certain
gender. Some parents might for instance want to use sex selection because they
disliked girls and only wanted to have boys. Whether these parents held
mistaken beliefs about the supposed intellectual or moral inferiority of women,
or whether they just had a personal preference for boys over girls would not
necessarily be of much moral significance. Imagine someone who dislikes girls
(and presumably also women) and avoids contact with them as much as possible,
and would feel great displeasure at the prospect of raising a daughter, but
acknowledges that girls are not in any way objectively inferior to boys and
is prepared to grant them the same rights. Such a person would not strike me as morally superior to
someone whose sexist attitude rested on the false belief inculcated to him that
women are all deceitful, cynical and manipulative. On the contrary, the latter
would seem morally preferable to the former, as his attitude would at least
make sense in the light of his beliefs and could be corrected by correcting
these beliefs, whereas the former's hostility to girls and women would be
entirely gratuitous.
second objection, however, only implies that sex selection for social purposes that
reflect biased attitudes towards the members of a certain gender might be morally suspicious. It doesn't call into question the permissibility of selection for motives such as those of the queen and king
in my story, which do not involve any biased attitude. On those
grounds, it seems to me that sex selection for purposes of family balancing
should be permitted. Wilkinson (2005, p.384) is right to point out that family
balancing is not in itself less sexist than sex selection for other non-medical
purposes. A parent who hated the fact that he had only had daughters so far
could wish to "balance" his family by at least having one member of the
"better", i.e. male sex. Still, it seems that parents who want to use sex
selection for family balancing are often, even typically, moved by
non-biased attitudes, and this speaks in favour of allowing the
practice. Sex selection that would lead to gender imbalance within the family
seems much more likely to involve biased attitudes towards one sex or
the other. Taking this consideration into account, as well as the current
disaffection of the general public towards sex selection for social purposes, the
reasonable option might be to allow sex selection for purposes of family
balancing while maintaining the ban on other non-medical uses of the practice.

5 Responses to Should parents be allowed to pick their children's sex for non-medical reasons?
So, it's ethically/morally ok to affect a child to serve the parents' ends. That covers pretty much everything about the looks, sex, personality, of a child. The child is a thing for the parents' pleasure. Actually, however awful that last sentence seems, it is probably the case that parents have children (when they plan to) for their own ends. So, that objection does not seem to hold up under current ethical norms or practices. It's a question similar to that of having a child to benefit another child. Somehow the latter (if it is not killed for organs) probably suffers as much as any younger sibling, and turns out as well. So, what's wrong with producing a blond, blue-eyed intelligent athlete, other than the numerous malpractice suits that will arise if one or another of the agreed-to characteristics doesn't come to pass.
My doubt, at least as to sex selection, is maintained even in the face of possible ways to avoid the imbalance that could result. I don't believe it. If there are too many unmarried heterosexual males in the population, there is a serious danger of increase in violence in the society and, perhaps aggression against other countries as well.
Good luck to us all; there is no doubt that it will happen despite all misgivings. We will have a glut of aryian males and females looking like last generation's heartthrobs.
Hi Alexander,
I pretty much agree with you. I'm certanly not a libertariam, but it seems to me that the reasons people generally present against sex selection are just rationalizations of preexisting anti-selectionists tendencies. There really is no evidence of prejudice against women in most countries (the exceptions are clearly known). Indeed, at least in my country, Brazil, we could see a bias toward having girls. Everyone one knows the strengh and the legitimacy of the interest a lot of couples have in parenting children of both sexes. My parents had three sons, the second and the third ones were attempts to have a daughter. My wife's parents had three daughters, the second and the third ones were attempts to have a son. I really don't see why not grant the parents the right not to be sex biased.
I would say that the comparison between current sex selection techniques (which, correct me if I'm wrong, all involve IVF) with "magically" conceiving a royal daughter has its flaws. IVF remains an invasive and expensive procedure, and creating multiple embryos with the intention of not using at least half of them is not morally neutral. If it were, ethical committees wouldn't see the need to place such strong restrictions on the list of hereditary diseases that are considered grave enough for embryo selection. We also see that many couples using IVF are not very eager to donate their "spare" embryos to science or infertile couples.
Until that "magical brew" had been scienced up, using terms like "balancing the family" glosses over the very real ethical problems contained in sex selection today.
And on a wholly different point, we are indeed talking "sex" here – what if the hard-won baby XX decides she identifies as male? (It's probably not significant enough to count in the considerations, but an amusing thought nonetheless.)
Dennis: parents' ends cannot all be put on the same moral plane. There seems to be a big moral difference between a couple's wish to have children of both sexes, and the wish to have a "blond, blue-eyed athlete". The former case is much more compatible with the quality of being a good, accepting parent than the latter, where the parents exhibit a much greater desire for control over their child's traits, to the point of commodification (besides the fact that the desire for the kind of traits you mention is associated with a specific, obnoxious ideology). I believe that we should make value judgments about people's ends and preferences, and that these judgments sometimes should influence regulation, e.g. in the case of selection for children's traits. Given that parental preferences are not all on an equal moral footing, we don't need to end up on the slippery slope that you are warning against. And I don't think we should completely rule out people's preferences as a legitimate influence in their decisions about having children: e.g. absent any foreseeable harmful consequences for others (i.e. the survival of the human species is not at risk, etc.) is a fertile couple doing something wrong if they decide not to have children because they want to devote their time to other commitments? Few of us would say so.
Anna: sex selection can also be achieved using artificial insemination. The considerations you raise might give us a reason to choose that procedure over IVF when we can. I agree about the existence of the disanalogy you mention between my fictional example and the use of IVF. I used that example because I think it helps us assess objections to sex selection that criticize the parents' aims and their attitude to their prospective children. I assume the point you're making only applies in cases where a fertile couple uses IVF for purposes of sex selection, and not to infertile couples who would have to resort to IVF anyway. The question will then be whether a fertile couple's interest in having children from both sexes does or not justify running the risk of creating embryos that will end up being destroyed.
Dennis, I am delighted to hear that Brazilians have a preference for girls. Do you happen to have any data I could use. Or do you happen to be involved in reproductive medicine so we could do a survey on gender preferences together?
Alexander: Splendid article!

Praise the futility of song.
—Ruth Schwartz, Versions of Ghalib: Ghazal 1,
And so today I praise
the mango that molders,
how sweet it is the moment just before
it is gone. I praise the shovel
for its valiant attempt
to make a clearing
even as snow continues
to fall. Praise the fire,
though it always goes out
when left untended.
Praise how easily I forget the lessons
I learned yesterday,
how this allows me to learn them again.
Praise the body that rises
and runs, though it knows
it will tire and ache. Praise
the innocent clock
which only does what it
was made to do. And praise
this longing to praise—
how it has never built
a single house nor fed a mouth
nor loaded a train,
but oh, the joy,
the aliveness in praising.

Commitment! A Q&A on Mentorship
Q. Hi! What is your name and what do you do?
A. Howdy. I'm Matthew Reiswig and I'm a UX Designer at Pivotal.
Q. What kind of people do you mentor?
A. Designers.
Q. Why do you mentor?
A. It feels good to help people, and it gives me a different path for growth.
Q. How do you find people to mentor? Or do they find you?
A. Usually, it's through word-of-mouth. Sometimes, it's connections made through my teaching opportunities or speaking engagements.
Q. How do you usually communicate with your mentee?
A. In-person meetings and Slack…occasionally email. For me, those work best. It's important to find something that works best for both of you.
Q. How do you find the time to schedule in mentees?
A. I make the time because I value mentorship equally with the other tasks in my day—it's important. And, I'm lucky to have a job where I have the flexibility and the autonomy to do so freely. I acknowledge that not everyone has that.
Q. Tell me about the last time you mentored someone.
A. Amanda and I have been working together for about 6 months—she was a student of mine earlier this year. We speak or meet once or twice a month but not on a schedule. Lately, she's been trying to upskill and find a new position, so we've been discussing emerging toolsets, skill development, and career paths. It's a great mentor relationship with an up-and-coming UX talent.
Q. What, in your opinion, makes a mentoring relationship successful and why?
A. I've seen people flame out of mentoring because they think it's one-way career heroics. What makes a mentoring relationship successful is a mentor who sees it as a two-way opportunity for collaboration and learning. If you do that, you learn from each other and end up making a new colleague and friend.
Q. What, in your opinion, causes some mentoring relationships fail and why?
A. Heroism and lack of commitment. If a mentor communicates in a way that portrays their career choices as infallible or lucky, a mentee can quickly lose hope. If a mentee worships the ground the mentor walks on, the relationship is doomed from the beginning. For a good mentor relationship to thrive, both parties have to truly believe that positive and achievable growth can realistically occur through their interaction—heroics of any kind are the antithesis to that. Lack of commitment is also a (quiet) killer. One of you misses an appointment. One of you doesn't prepare properly. One of you is late to a meeting. Call it respect, call it preparation, call it punctuality—I call it commitment. And when one or both of you lacks that, the relationship dies.
Q. Have you had a mentoring relationship you considered a failure? Tell me about it.
A. Yes. I've had a few mentees that just didn't make the commitment needed to be a good colleague. I found that they often were unprepared and/or late. They used me like a career therapist who was there only to listen to them complain—about "the job market," or their bosses, or their lack of resources. Does everyone have a bad day? Yes. But any good relationship has balance and commitment.
Q. What is the hardest part of being a mentor? Why?
A. Not being able to "make it happen" for them. Sometimes, people who are extremely talented and are doing all the right things just can't get to the next level. The timing is off, the market is tight, the company takes a turn…whatever it is, it just doesn't come together. That's a difficult thing to watch.
Q. What is the best part? Why?
A. When you unexpectedly catch them just being a good colleague. I've caught my mentees posting amazing advice in an industry Slack channel. I've run into them at an event I forgot I encouraged them to go to. I've heard about their promotion long after we've parted ways. It's such a cool experience to know you may have had the slightest positive influence toward making that happen.
Thanks for making this happen, Matt.
You're welcome. It's been fun!

A Long Island firefighter is taking his colleagues to court for what he says was incessant teasing about his weight.
The New York Post reported Saturday that John Munro filed a discrimination lawsuit in federal court against fellow firefighters in the Suffolk County hamlet of Hauppauge (HAW'-pawg).
The nearly 350-pound Munro says he was called names like "cow" and harangued for taking up two seats in the fire truck.
Munro's attorney, Joshua Frank, says that after his client asked for an investigation, somebody tampered with his rope and harness.
Munro is a volunteer at the Hauppauge Fire Department. He seeks unspecified damages.
The fire chief did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

If Cindy Sherman had turned her "Untitled Film Stills" into an actual film, the result might have been like a.k.a. Nikki S. Lee. Premiering at MoMA this week, it's the first feature-length movie by the 35-year-old Korean artist who explores identity and conformity by photographing herself as a member of various ethnic groups and subcultures (skateboarders, Latinas, Long Island housewives). The quasi-documentary follows her from the Venice Bienniale to a fashion shoot to the homes of people who've bought her art, watching her change characters all the while. The real story, though, is the delicate dance between Lee and her collectors, in which it's the patron, not the artist, who craves acceptance.

India is the gourmet's delight. Her culinary art developed in the temple kitchen, where expert chefs prepare a diverse spectrum of foods, associated with Gods and noted for their nutritive value. Taste some of them and you'll never be quite the same again.
Palani Panchāmirtam is the oldest form of jam or fruit mix and preserves very well, even for months. And the saying is that 'the olden it is, it tastes better'. The secret lies as much in the art of preparing it as in the quality of the fruit that is used as the basic ingredient. It is the small sized viruppāchchi plantains which account for it, the reason being that they have very little water content. Incidentally, Viruppāchchi is the name of a village (in the Palani Hills) where this particular variety of plantain is grown and marketed.
Crushed plantains apart, Panchāmirtam consists of kandasari sugar from Kangeyam area, dates, kismis, sugar candy (kalkandu), cardamom and ghee in proper proportions:
Panchamirtham of Palani
The plantain is crushed fully. Sugar is then mixed with it. Seedless dates, sugar candy and kismis are added in the third stage. The last items to go into the preparation are cardamom and ghee.
Panchāmirtam, collected after abhishekam, is not only a delicious and nourishing food; but also has astonishing properties which keep it in conditions suitable for consumption over a long period, without refrigeration. You are advised to buy all your requirements from the Devasthānam and to transfer the contents to your own containers for proper preservation. Interested persons may visit the Panchāmirtam making kitchen in the Devasthānam's choultry. The Devasthānam has now made arrangements to manufacture Panchamirtam by using electric utensils.

While the thought of a supermodel having plastic surgery isn't far-fetched, fans of media mogul Tyra Banks may not know the America's Next Top Model creator has had a bit of work done herself.
In a new interview with People, Banks keeps it real about beauty standards and how they affect self-esteem.
"Natural beauty is unfair. I get really uncomfortable when women who are these natural beauties judge anybody who does anything to themselves."
In her upcoming memoir, Perfect Is Boring, Banks admits that she had a nose job over 20 years ago.
"I had bones in my nose that were growing and itching. I could breathe fine, but I added cosmetic surgery. I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose. I feel I have a responsibility to tell the truth."
Banks also shared her thoughts on the "no makeup" movement, saying women shouldn't feel ashamed of rocking a full face if they need or want to.
"We place a lot of emphasis on that," she says. "As a model, I needed makeup. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It leveled my playing field. Gisele, you don't need it? I do! And we're both modeling for Victoria's Secret."

Before they offered various components for car construction.
When using engines of their own design the name changed to REX SIMPLEX.
They never sold much cars so you have to look years for a radiator emblem.
It is much easier to find a broche (as it was a public relation present ).

In 1921 the factory was bought by ELITE (another small German car maker ) and the type 13/40 was offered for one year as the Elite Wagen.
Here you see the ultra rare radiator emblem still showing the REX SIMPLEX crest.

Welcome to Polp!
Polp is not just an graphic t-shirt brand, Polp goes much further... Do you want to find out?
Polp is a lifestyle, a twist of expression, a call to action, but above all we are a community of people who are committed to both social and environmental issues. We believe in a more inclusive society in which art and equality cohabit. And we use our designs to spread the word.
What do we want to achieve?
Since the beginning of Polp we have always wanted to focus on a more sustainable production. In order to reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact we have been taking small steps from using recycled and reusable packaging as well as producing sweatshirts made of recycled materials to the big step of making all our products 100% organic.
With the aim of changing people's way of consumption we want to create a new collection of T-shirts and sweatshirts made of organic cotton and recycled materials. We try to reach the largest number of people possible and so influence them to consume more consciously.
Our process of creation
We set our heart on preparing our products in a traditional way using a silk-screen printing technique and eco-friendly inks. All social and environmental claims as well as our creative director's most crazy stories or ideas go directly from their mind to the canvas. Then we transfer our designs to a screen with which we print the given illustration on our garments one by one. The final touch consists of attaching our brand's name tag made of cork to the garment.This hand-made carefully-prepared process allows us to develop our work without using any kind of polluting machinery.
Do you know that moment when inspiration comes to you and you cannot let it go? When the brain lights up you have to keep it on ... 💡 And this is how our designs are born: creativity, art, a lot of inspiration and our secret, to see things from another perspective.
Following this approach every design tells its own story and so we create meaningful garments whose messages embrace a range of topics such as women's empowerment, environmental initiatives or music.
F*ck plastic! If the packaging is funky and recycled cardboard it's much better. 🍃 🤘
From the beginning we knew that we wanted a brand that was environmentally conscious so we refused to use plastics for the packaging of our T-shirts. But we wanted to be more unique and go further so instead of just using paper bags we came up with the idea of a reusable container.
Made of recycled materials it is waterproof and reusable so you can give it a second life since it is perfect for storing pencils, using it as a plant pot... because we give more value to the planet by reusing.
Our designs
These are the 12 designed T-shirts made of 100% organic cotton that we want to offer you.
6 illustrations in different colors, so you can choose the one you like the most.
And also 4 different designs for our sweatshirts made of 85% organic cotton and 15% recycled polyester.
All clothes are certified, as they respect the work of people and the planet.
Only for the campaign
We have exclusively created some prints for this campaign that you will get with your purchase so you can redecorate your walls matching your Polp T-shirt or sweatshirt.
Every print has its own story explained at the back so feel free to reinterpret the story and make it yours!
The rewards
You can choose the design and size of T-shirts and sweatshirts.
The prints will match the pack's T-shirt or sweatshirt.
All the information about your size, personal data and shipping details will be requested once the campaign is over and we have reached our goal.
All rewards include shipping to Spain.
If you are ordering from another European country you only have to acquire the "International shipping" reward.
What will we use your contributions for?
The budget obtained will be used for a more ecological change in the brand, as we could produce and launch the new totally organic t-shirt campaign, joining the sweatshirts of organic and recycled materials and the reusable packaging that we already have.
In addition, part of the contributions will be used for advertising aimed at making people aware of responsible and ethical consumption.
When will you receive the rewards?
As we screen-print all the t-shirts ourselves one by one, we would start preparing all the rewards once the campaign is finished in order to be able to send them in November.
So this year you have the opportunity to anticipate your Christmas shopping 😉
Do you want to meet us?
We are Andrea and Román, two fools who decided to start Polp when we joined forces with Roman's illustrations and Andrea's handmade technique.
We wanted to create a brand that represented us and many others who are passionate about music, reading, travelling and of course art. And at the same time, we wanted to represent people committed to the world who are concerned about how society works and how we all can contribute to make it a better place for us.
Are you joining our world?
We are pretty sure that if you all contribute we can start taking good care of our planet in the way that it deserves it since the Earth is not just a place for us to dwell but our home.
🍃 Thank you for helping us to be 100% eco! 🍃

Although rope access is not our main business, we actively engage in projects at height where rope access is required. These tasks include lighting, communication dishes, cabling and radio antenna's on cell towers, and other similar structures.
Not limiting jobs in the open air, clients sometimes need rigging installed on the inside of steel structure of buildings of which we install and remove. This includes repairing light fixtures, and bulb replacements in hard to reach ceiling.
There are many cases and reasons for rope access so give Gerry a call to discuss your project.

Our newest national monument recognizing labor rights hero César E. Chávez is the first of its kind, and the culmination of years of effort.
A sea of more than 6,000 school children, politicians, farm workers, National Park Service rangers, community members, journalists, and celebrities flooded the National Chávez Center at Nuestra Señora Reina de la Paz, or "La Paz," on Monday, October 8. My NPCA colleagues and I had also traveled to the Central Valley site for a moment we had been waiting for and working toward for more than a decade: a celebration to dedicate the site as the César E. Chávez National Monument, the 398th addition to our National Park System.
When President Obama walked up to the podium at La Paz, I thought about the arc of my own involvement and the significant impact that Chávez had on my life and the lives of millions of other young people back in the 1960s and 1970s. I also thought about my personal interaction with César Chávez in the 1980s, and my most recent involvement, advocating for the new national park site.
In the late 1960s I was still in high school, but I became involved with the grape boycott campaign designed to force grape growers to sign contracts with the United Farmworkers. Heck, I was still a pimply kid, but I recall standing out in front of a grocery store in Fredrick, Maryland, gathering commitment signatures from shoppers who said they would boycott grapes. It was the first time that I became involved in a national social justice issue. It is amazing how many people of my generation have told me how they, too, were involved in this boycott effort. It is no wonder why César Chávez and his co-leaders, like Dolores Huerta, were so successful. They were able to create a huge movement in spite of the fact that they had little means. This was, and is, a quintessential American story of how ordinary people can accomplish great things.
In the 1980s, I worked for the U.S. Catholic Conference's Campaign for Human Development, a program that provides grants and loans to projects in impoverished communities across the country. One day, I received a call from the United Farm Workers. Then César Chávez himself came on the phone. He requested a grant to help establish a better telecommunications system for the union. I remember thinking then, one of my greatest heroes, César Chávez, is calling me? I was honored to get that call and assist him in his efforts.
Over the years, Chávez rallied countless other partners and activists to help in his mission to improve the lives of farmworkers, and his legacy of nonviolent action resulted in more money, better benefits, safer working conditions, and legal protections for thousands of people. He's not just my hero: Chávez is now recognized as one of the most important labor leaders of the 20th century.
Fast-forward about 25 years, when I came to work for NPCA as the Pacific Regional Director. One of the first conversations I had was with Jon Jarvis, then the Pacific West Regional Director for the National Park Service. We spoke about the possibility of the Park Service eventually establishing a site to honor Chávez and tell the historically significant story of farmworker union organizing. Seeing that there was support for this idea in the Park Service, I then worked to support the legislative effort that eventually led to the special resources study, which concluded there were five sites, including "La Paz," that were indeed important and appropriate inclusions to the National Park System.
As I stood there at La Paz last Monday, with President Barack Obama in front of me announcing that he would use his power under the Antiquities Act to create the César E. Chávez National Monument, tears of joy welled up in me. Things had come full circle, I thought. César E. Chávez, my childhood hero and an iconic American historic figure, is finally getting the recognition that he and his fellow farm workers deserve.

The United Farm Workers of America motto, "Sí, se puede," is certainly echoing in many homes this week. It roughly translates into, "Yes, it can be done."
Now, people throughout our great country can say, "Sí lo hicimos," or, "Yes, we did it!"
