In the field with Kosovo's "bomb hunters"
SUMMARY: "It's like working as an archaeologist: you need lots of attention, sensitivity and discipline." The man speaking is Avdul, a 48-year-old team leader with a Chuck Norris beard. He leads four men in a field very close to the local cemetery and to a public road often used by students in Kryshec, a small village in the south-west of Kosovo. The signs on the street, with a simple word and the iconic symbol of a skull, leave no room for doubt: "Mines".

Itanagar, May 19: It was a 'red letter day' for the Indian mountaineering fraternity as nine more climbers from North East India scaled the Mount Everest and raised the tricolor on Saturday.
Six climbers started their summit push from the South Col at 8 pm Friday night and climbed whole night to reach the roof top of the world at 5.50 am (Nepal standard time) yesterday, Tsering Wange, president of Arunachal Mountaineering and Adventure Sports Association (AMASA) informed today.
They are Anshu Jamsenpa (Arunachal Pradesh-AP), Tarun Saikia (Assam), David Zohmangaiha (Mizoram), Wangshuk Myrthong (Meghalaya), Kazi Sherpa (Sikkim) and Nameirakpam Chingkheinganba of Manipur who become the youngest Indian climber at the age of 16.
Earlier on Friday, Nima Lama from Arunachal Pradesh, Bidyapati Devi from Manipur and Anand Gurung from Sikkim scaled the world's highest peak.
Anshu Jamsenpa of Arunachal Pradesh, the deputy leader of the expedition, became the first Indian woman to summit the highest peak in the world thrice.
She already holds the record of being the only mother in the world to summit Mt Everest twice in 10 days.
Facing the deadly wind speed of 100 km per hour, they scaled the highest peak in a adverse weather condition.
Climber Manish Deka (Assam) and Athokpam Robert (Manipur) had to abort their summit push from South Col (26,200 ft) as climber Waribam James (Manipur) was evacuated by chopper due to worsening health problem while negotiating the climb between Camp 2 and Camp 3 (24500 ft).
The expedition, the first ever comprising exclusively of mountaineers from North East, is being executed under the leadership of Manipur Mountaineering and Trekking Association (MMTA), under the leadership of its president Dr L Surjit, and funded by North Eastern Council with support from Planning Department of Manipur.
During the acclimatisation, the expedition team had reached Camp-III on April 30 after which they returned and went with the final push for the summit.
President Pranab Mukherjee had flagged off the first ever north east Mt Everest expedition on March 20.

This piece comes to you from inside one of those new cafes where I can't recognize or pronounce anything on the menu, and the staff are clad in Avant- garde vintage threads whose price is anything but vintage. Due to my long suffering disappointment in ordering food with silly-hipster names from these types of establishments, I ended up ordering something familiar--A grapefruit juice. After all I was only here for the Wi-Fi.
I placed my order and asked the waiter for the Wi-Fi code in a way that would make Marshawn Lynch proud (You know why I'm here). To my dismay, this establishment did not have Wi-Fi, and buyer's remorse began to sink in. I quickly realized my dilemma and thought out my options: Do I leave and waste my $3.50 in search of a new Wi-Fi spot? Or do I stay, drink this little ass cup of juice, and attempt to produce something.
With Rick Ross reverberating out of my earbuds I decided to stay put.
After eating I was walking back to my crib, playing a game that I often play while in public. If you're a black man you should try it sometime. I call it the Eye-Contact Game or ECG for short. It's best played while by yourself on subways, walking, or even in the workplace, I like to count how many people intentionally attempt to avoid eye-contact with me. It's so comical. You know, that "I see you, but can't see you" thingy. In order to score a point you have to see with a level of certainty either a quick neck jerk, or look away—no maybes. I think I was somewhere around 15 points when my eyes got stuck on something lovingly familiar.
Through a crystal clear glass window, inside of the neighborhood's newest grocery store, sat my dear friend. The same friend whom I haven't seen in a few months. The same friend whose birthday was today. There she sat, crying; on her birthday. Although my pace slowed, I continued walking and did what most people do when they see things they don't want to. I tried to convince myself that the person I saw crying was not her. However, after a few more steps I was no longer convinced and decided to turn around and get a closer look.
In creep-like fashion I entered the grocery store and unlike when I was walking felt a lot of eyes on me, but no longer was I playing the ECG. As I tiptoed closer toward this beautiful silhouette, I was still a bit unsure if it was actually her. The biggest reason for doubt was that there was a brown-haired, curly-topped, middle aged, white man on her shoulder consoling her. Although I'm now only a trip-and-fall away from the two, my eyes are squinting. Not because I can't see, but because I can't make sense of what I'm seeing. I began to turn around and go home, and then my confirmation came. An unmistakable tattoo on her right wrist served as the giveaway. It was her, and I was concerned.
Now sitting beside the two she explained that she saw me from the window, but didn't explain why she didn't motion or wave to me. However, she did express gratitude that I had comeback to check on her. During the course of our two-and-a-half hour conversation she explained to me that she was feeling the weight of the world. As a local recognizable figure, she questioned the value of recognition when those who recognize your efforts are not connected to your purpose. Not wanting to sugarcoat things, yet wanting to speak from the heart, I told her that I was amazed that on her birthday she would be reflecting on the lives of others. I told her that her sensitivity was a gift. A gift that continues to motivate and inspire others; namely me, and that she couldn't possibly stop. Now preaching to myself through our talk, I reassured her that her tears were a good thing. Her understanding of purpose vs. pageantry is a gift, and the ones who have those two confused are the ones I worry about.
Our talk was coming to a close and she needed to get to her birthday dinner with family. We laughed, hugged and eventually saw each other off. About two days had passed and I received a text message from that same friend which read "I thanked GOD for you today". Which was especially touching because I had not been talking to GOD lately and had been feeling heavy.
Her text made me reflect on an idea I'd been given a few years back when trying to tell the difference between an angel and a friend. The saying goes: "The best way you can tell the difference between a friend and an angel is with a friend you can ask for a ride, and they will give you a ride. With a friend you can ask for $20 and they will give you $20. However, with an angel you won't even have to ask".
Today I'm thanking GOD for her Angelic presence. I love you… And ohh yeah, Happy Birthday.

Be a Safe Boater!
Being a strong swimmer doesn't make you drown proof! We recommend that everyone (even if you're an Olympic gold medal champion) wear a life jacket! Every person being towed behind the vessel must wear a lifejacket, at all times.
California law requires that every child under age 13 must wear a life jacket at all times while on a moving vessel of any length. (There are three exceptions: Children are not required to wear a life jacket when they are wearing a harness on a sailboat, when they are in an enclosed cabin, and when they are on a vessel during an emergency rescue.)
For more information, following this LINK and SAVE THE ONES YOU LOVE!
Boating Hours
Summer: 6:00 am - 8:30 pm
Winter: 6:00 am - 6:30 pm
Watercraft without running lights must be off the water by sunset.
Summer hours change with Daylight Savings Time.
Lake Perris allows power boats, personal watercraft (jet skis), and non-powered vessels (sail boat, canoe, kayak, stand up paddle boards, etc.) on the water. We accept both 2 and 4 stroke engines.
How to Pass the Quagga and Zebra Mussel Inspection
All vessels entering Lake Perris will be inspected for Quagga and Zebra Mussels. This includes all canoes, kayaks, sail boats, rubber rafts, fishing waders, scuba gear, etc.
Only boats and equipment which are clean, drained, and completely dry, will pass inspection. If you are coming from a known quagga-infected body of water, you must wait 8 calendar days before bringing it to Lake Perris or Silverwood Lake.
Information about Quagga infested lakes, as well as the effects of Quagga Mussels and Inspections.
If your boat or equipment, including but not limited to sails, life vests, and skis, are wet, damp, or moist, you will not pass inspection. Failure to pass inspection will result in a full 8 calendar day dry-out period before that failed vessel is allowed to launch at a State Park Reservoir.
Multiple watercraft: All vessels on a trailer will be automatically failed if one of the vessels fails inspection. For example, if there are two jet skis on the trailer, and one fails inspection, then the other vessel will be failed as well.
Do not wash, rinse, or hose your boat right before coming to Lake Perris. Your watercraft WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE PARK. Let the boat dry for 8 days minimum after washing. The mussel lives in fresh water, so tap water will not remove the mussel from your vessel. These animals are like barnacles, clams, and oysters and they attach themselves to any solid material and thrive in dark, stagnant environments. Rinsing with fresh water will not remove them. To KILL the animal, you must let your boat and equipment in or on the boat be completely dry.
Unfortunately there is no easy way for anyone to identify if a damp boat is infested with the mussels. All watercraft must go through inspection before they are allowed to enter the park.
We want you to pass inspection, but we all have a responsibility to protect California's waterways, drinking water supplies, and your watercraft from these destructive, invasive mussels.
Boat Reservations
Watercraft reservations are recommended for summer weekends (Saturday and Sunday) and major summer holidays. In the event of sell-out, only watercraft with reservations will be allowed into the park.
Reservations are generally not needed on weekdays and in the off season (between Memorial Day and Labor Day).
Reservations are required for each individual watercraft. Each reservation holds 1 space on the water. You will pay Vehicle and Boat Use fees on arrival.
Campers: If you are camping for multiple days and are arriving on Saturday, your watercraft only needs a reservation for your day of arrival. On arrival, you will pay full use fees for your watercraft for each day that the watercraft is in the park. (EXAMPLE: If you check in on Saturday afternoon and are checking out on Monday, you need a reservation for Saturday, and will pay boat use fees for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.)
Friday arrivals do not generally need a reservation unless Friday itself is a major Holiday.
Reservations can be made at www.reservecalifornia.com or by calling 1-800-444-7275 (TDD: 1-800-274-7275).
Sail boats, kayaks, canoes, and other hand launch vessels do not need a reservation.

Boat Rentals, Watercraft rentals, Wet and Dry Storage.
Store Hours: 7:00 am - 6:00 pm
Boat slip holders must purchase a California State Park Annual Day Use or Golden Poppy pass and a Boat Use pass, to enter in and out of the park with their vehicle and/or watercraft, otherwise they will be charged Day and Boat Use fees each day they enter the park.
Boat slip holders are allowed to enter the park during boat and day use closures, even without a reservation.
The area marked in red is CLOSED due to construction. NO SHORE ACCESS. NO VESSELS ON BEACH OR PEDESTRIAN ACCESS.

Many Pop Health readers could also be wondering- where is the brand new content? The reply- on Instagram ! Okay so cause and effect essays are written in numerous formats, but let me say in my faculty occupation for the essays to be written were to be in APA format, and it's fascinating when researching and writing whether it's from information you have got researched or if it free lance. I prefer to research topics before writing and likewise observe taking is efficient. The trigger is what causes the state of affairs and the effect is what it's important to take into accounts to the cause as we all know it.
Medicare now posts how much we do and what we're paid online. My #1 line merchandise was for knee injections with Synvisc. Synvisc is billed in units. A single syringe of Synvisc One is 96 units. I don't know how they got here up with this. The rationale this procedure is #1 on my checklist is that (1) Medicare counts each unit as a separate treatment, so if I do 100/yr Medicare experiences it as 9600 and (2) A syringe of these items prices greater than $500 so it seems to be like I am making a small fortune on it when really they are just reimbursing my cost.
Since the pancreas produces the enzymes wanted to breakdown a meal, I take digestive enzymes about quarter-hour before meals as nicely which appears to help probably because it takes some of the load of manufacturing enzymes off my pancreas. Identical to the maintenance doses of the grape seed, curcumin, and vitamin C you will at all times have to take enzymes.
I actually need to cut down on my coffee consumption, but I have found decaf is not one of the best. I'll check out your espresso substitute recommendations! In spite of a continued downward trend in grownup charges of smoking nationwide, the speed in Louisiana stays comparatively high. Consultants say this may be attributed to wealthier folks kicking the habit while poorer Americans are still lighting up.
Traditional Medicare lets you select your doctor and your hospital and it pays for all medically necessary companies. No commercial plan can say the identical except it's a type of platinum things no one can afford. Traditional Medicare can try this because it sets the costs for all well being care suppliers, instead of negotiating with a few most well-liked distributors. Medicare can take these liberties because it is sufficiently big and since it is a Federal program. However Medicare doesn't pay for every thing. That is why most seniors buy supplemental plans if they can afford them, and if they are poor sufficient, Medicaid kicks in as the secondary payer. Being the protection net for the fastened worth single-payer ought to be the only real function of a new and federally administered Medicaid.

The other day, Woman, Uncensored featured dryer balls in a giveaway. These were handmade wool balls, purported to work just like the plastic/rubber balls (but nicer on the environment), cut your drying time in half, absorb static and soften clothes. I'd never heard of plastic or wool dryer balls, but I was intrigued by the idea of cutting dryer time in half. On the other hand, I'm also convinced that you can't usually buy things to save money, so I didn't even want to enter the giveaway until I'd researched this idea.
Plastic/Rubber Dryer Balls
First I'll start with the dryer balls available from TV commercials and in large stores, since information on these is easier to find. The commercials for these products boast increased softness and fluffiness – showing a stack of towels twice as fluffy as the stack using only regular softener – and a decrease in static. Hmm. I'm already skeptical. I've never felt the need to use softener or dryer sheets with my laundry. I don't really understand the practice. I just don't have a burning issue of non-fluffy towels in my life that needs to be addressed.
The same goes for static, which I think is why some people use dryer sheets. Supposedly these balls reduce static, which I have never felt the need to reduce. What is it that is causing people's horrible static-y clothes that I'm somehow missing out on? I have clothes of varying materials – cotton, rayon, polyester, wool – and I've never had a huge fight with static. Once or twice in my life I remember owning a pair of pants with very thin material that would cling a bit, but I'd just sprinkle them very lightly with water, and it was fine. Much cheaper/easier than buying and keeping track of dryer balls and using them in every load. So, touting increased fluffiness and reduced static as the big selling point of your product makes me wary. It tells me you're trying to sell me something I don't need, which makes me doubt your other claims as well.
In any case, on both of these points, fluffiness and static, the reviews I initially found on the plastic dryer balls were horrible. Here are some snippets of different reviews I found:
- "My towels came out of the dryer feeling like sandpaper."
- "No they don't replace fabric softener – unless you like static."
- "They actually made my clothes more static-y!"
On the other hand, I found a handful of people saying they made everything fluffier and cut down on static. Some of the positive reviews were on public review sites, which, when next to so many completely opposite comments, always makes me wonder if they are posted by company representatives. Some of the glowing reviews even include enthusiastic "I bought mine here," with a link included, which increases my skepticism.
I was ready to write off the dryer balls, but in the interest of making this post complete, I kept digging around. Here's something that I learned: the balls are typically sold in packs of one or two, but the packaging says that you'll need 4-6 per load. People who reported buying and using more found that they did then see a great increase in the fluffiness and lack of static from their laundry. So that's good to know! If you do want to use these, get the recommended number.
Now, since I don't really care about static and fluffiness, how about reduced drying time? When I already don't use fabric sheets or softener, the only potential money-saver for me is in the reduced drying time. Almost all the consumer reviews say they achieved less drying time with the dryer balls. I read a few that said there was no difference, although it's possible that these people were using only one or two balls. Again, to achieve the benefits, the full 4-6 would probably have to be used.
One possible bonus to using these dryer balls came from pet owners. Several people with pets mentioned that with the plastic dryer balls, more of the pet hair came off their clothes in the dryer.
Possible Problems
I read a warning or two that you may not want to use these at a laundromat. First, there's the noise. The balls can be quite loud banging around in there. Second, given the greater speed of the commercial dryer, some people said the force of the balls against the door was enough to pop the door open and spill clothes out on the ground. Something to watch out for.
About the fluffiness: what causes the fluffiness? I read some suggestions that the increased fluffiness is due to the clothes being beaten up – not just the fact that they are separated from one another – gaining fluffiness through the tearing of fibers. That means you may be reducing the overall life of the cloth. I don't know if that's an accurate representation of what's really happening, but it's something to consider and keep in mind. Perhaps the balls could be used for blankets and towels, where an efficient dry is harder to achieve, but be left out for clothes, where decreased life-span could be an important factor.
Another issue with the commercial product is the materials used. Many are made of PVC. I'm not going to delve into the potential issues there, but it's something to consider.
Wool Dryer Balls
Next, I looked into wool dryer balls. This produced much fewer reviews, so it's harder to decide about their effectiveness. The wool dryer balls are made from wool yarn or roving that's felted, either by hand or through a washing and drying process.
The potential benefits of using wool dryer balls instead of the commercially available ones are many.
- You can buy them from an individual crafter instead of a large company.
- You can make them yourself.
- They can be upcycled (say, from an old wool sweater), rather than created from new material.
- They are more likely not to contain harmful or unknown materials.
- The banging sound is reported to be quieter.
- The potential reduction in clothing lifespan may not be a problem with wool balls, since they are a cloth product themselves, and not knobbly like the plastic/rubber balls.
A couple of potential downsides come to mind, as well.
- There may be an increase in static or transfer of fibers. This may vary depending on the thoroughness of the felting on the balls you choose or make.
- There may be color staining if you dry light clothes with dark balls, depending on whether dyes were used on the wool of your dryer balls.
I found a greater percentage of positive reviews amongst people using wool balls versus those using plastic/rubber balls. Part of the reason for this may be that the wool dryer ball sellers online seem to be louder in getting across the point that you need at least 4 balls and maybe even more depending on your load sizes. More people using more balls may account for the increase in positive reviews.
My Bottom Line
As always, I remain wary of the idea of spending money to try to save money. I think it's a losing proposition in general, over the course of all the things you might buy. In this case, I will refrain from buying the plastic/rubber balls.
However, I'm intrigued by the idea, especially of using the wool versions. I have a bit of wool yarn lying about from when I added yarn wraps to my dreadlocks. I think I'll try making a set of my own wool dryer balls. If I do, I probably won't have an opinion on the fluffiness/static, since that's just not something I'm looking for. However, I'll happily run some tests to see how the drying time works out. When I do, you'll be sure to see the results here.
Where To Get Your Own
If you're interested in trying out dryer balls, you've got a lot of options. For the plastic/rubber types, Amazon is a good choice, since you can find a variety, usually for cheaper than in a store.
For wool dryer balls, you have lots of online options:
- Wool Dryer Balls on Amazon
- High quality hand made dryer balls
- A search for "dryer balls" on Etsy turns up lots of beautiful results.
Plus, don't forget that you can try out making your own!
If you've tried either kind of dryer balls or have made your own, I'd love to hear about your experiences!

A 50 kb region of DNA fromStreptomyces violaceoruber Tü22, containing genes encoding proteins involved in the biosynthesis of granaticin, was isolated. The DNA sequence of a 7.3 kb fragment from this region, located approximately 10 kb from the genes that encode the polyketide synthetase responsible for formation of the benzoisochromane quinone skeleton, revealed five open reading frames (ORF1-ORF5). The deduced amino acid sequence of GraE, encoded by ORF2, shows 60.8% identity (75.2% similarity) to a dTDP-glucose dehydratase (StrE) fromStreptomyces griseus. Cultures ofEscherichia coli containing plasmids with ORF2, on a 2.1 kbBamHI fragment, were able to catalyze the formation of dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-glucose from dTDP-glucose at 5 times the rate of control cultures, confirming that ORF2 encodes a dTDP-glucose dehydratase. The amino acid sequence encoded by ORF3 (GraD) is 51.4% identical (69.9% similar) to that of StrD, a dTDP-glucose synthase fromStreptomyces griseus. The amino acid sequence encoded by ORF4 shares similarities with proteins that confer resistance to tetracycline and methylenomycin, and is suggested to be involved in transporting granaticin out of the cells by an active efflux mechanism.

This video shows the viewer how to give a lymphatic drainage massage of the head and neck. A pillow elevates the head slightly to help the drainage process. Using a light oil, she applies the oil to the neck and the face of the client. She puts her fingers inside the clavicle bone at the base of the neck and pumps to start the fluid moving down. Encourage the client to take deep breaths as this helps the fluid to move down. This is a great massage to get in the spring time when allergies are flaring. As long as you're always moving the fluid in the proper direction, you will not hurt the client.

Falty DL, meanwhile, gives us a hardcore schooling on "Limit Of Paradise" with its heavily layered breaks, wall of sound pads and dynamic drops into spacious hooks. Bad to the (clear vinyl) bone!

£1000 available to get more people active in LN6By NickiBlake on May 8th, 2014 -
Active Lincolnshire is offering grants of up to £1,000 for community groups that want to get more people active in the LN6 postcode area.
The grants are being offered to sports clubs, community groups, workplaces and groups of friends who want to keep fit and take part in more activity. The funding will cover revenue and capital costs, training, equipment purchase, facility hire and coach / instructor fees. Existing groups could run an event to raise the profile of their group or run a marketing campaign to encourage others to join in. The next closing deadline is June 29, 2014.
The funding is being provided through Access LN6, a £6.5million programme which aims to improve sustainable transport options in the LN6 area and increase opportunities to walk, cycle and use public transport, as well as improving health throughout the community.
Amy Story, Physical Activity Project Officer, said: "Ten groups within the LN6 area have already benefited from funding worth £7,792. Successful groups have included Lincoln U3A, Hartsholme Cricket Club, North Hykeham Croquet Club and Nicholsons Chartered Accountants. We welcome applications from all types of organisations and would encourage people in the LN6 area to start a new activity session in their community or workplace. It could be anything from yoga or badminton to Nordic walking or a jogging group."
In the last round Witham Runners received £950 to train more leaders for their running group. Michelle Mortimer, a member of Witham Runners, said: "The grant has allowed us to get two more leaders qualified and the extra leaders have been a great asset to the group."
Application forms can be found at www.lincolnshiresport.com/ln6active. For more information about the grants please contact Amy Story at email@example.com or 01522 585 580.

Limited to 6 participants. SIGN-UP ONLINE to reserve your space.
Small Group Training is the best way to learn Systema! Lots of personal attention, and a variety of people to work with. Learn in a safe and inclusive environment.
Please note this class may change location, but is always in the area of Van Vorst Park in Downtown Jersey City. Some classes are at a private residence, others in the park.
Systema builds its foundation on the principles of the physiological systems of the human body. The four major principles of study are Breathing, Relaxation, Structure, and Movement. Instead of teaching various techniques for various situations, Systema focuses on methods that develop movements that are explosive, effortless, spontaneous and unpredictable all while remaining free of excessive tension or emotion- the hallmarks of a true professional. The result is highly efficient, practical martial application that is both unpredictable and explosive. There are no competitions, no belts, no forms to memorize, or traditions to follow. Instead we focus on examining ourselves, the extent of our limitations, and to see how proud and weak we really are. Systema is also known by another name "poznai sebia" or "Know Yourself."

(As we're a blog run by two gals, we've indicated each person's answer by their first initial.)
Describe yourself in one word?
E: Unusual
N: Different
Are you a city or countryside person?
E: I don't think I could give a definite answer for this one! I'm defiantly a bit of both, I love the city and working in London is great when it comes to grabbing lunch, shopping and being social! On the other hand I also love visiting family that live in the countryside in wales, it's always peaceful, most people are friendly and the wildlife is beautiful!
N: Country!
Favourite quote?
E: This changes all the time! However, at the moment it's "She remembered who she was, and the game changed".
N: Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and looo around once in a while, you could miss it.
What is the most frustrating aspect of blogging?
E: Producing content that you're 100% happy with, especially when it comes to photography!
N: Writers block!
Do you have any hobbies?
E: Blogging! Other than that most of my time is spent at work or with friends!
N: Other than blogging? Makeup!
Which is your number one advice?
E: Everything happens for a reason. Every time something bad has happened or goes wrong I always end up looking back and realising that if that hadn't happened I wouldn't be in my current position.
N: It'll be ok eventually
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
E: Sydney, Australia
N: Sydney, Australia
Do you have any pets?
E: Yes! 1 Lhasa apso (aka the love of my life).
N: Three gorgeous little shitzus (hopefully a parrot one day)
How did you first get into blogging?
E: I had always been interested in the idea of blogging, through reading other blogs, Instagram and YouTube channels. I mentioned the idea to Naomi as I know she's always been interested in having a blog and then YounggWolves was created!
N: By reading other blogs
Is blogging your profession or hobby?
E: Hobby, but it's definitely my dream profession! Being able to do something that allows me to be creative has always been my goal!
N: Hobby but my dream profession

Maryland's minimum wage should be a living wage
An opinion writer in the UM student paper The Diamondback provides excellent background to the coming Maryland General Assembly debate on the Fight for $15 -- pushing the state's minimum wage much closer to a level that could provide working individuals and families the means for living above the poverty line.

If Maryland is changing politically, it's due to activists
"We are witnessing, in real time, the transformation of the Maryland General Assembly." So says Josh Kurtz in an interesting post on Maryland Matters. But Larry Stafford Jr. agrees "We are winning! -- What Kurtz's article doesn't mention, however, is what brought about this shift in the political landscape. This would not be possible without the dedication and hard work of progressive activists, organizers, and visionaries who were the force behind this shift in Annapolis."

Nationwide teacher strikes highlight charter schools' negative impact
Larry Hogan is trying to sneak more charter schools in as the education funding debate sharpens, draining money away from public schools. As Jeff Bryant shows in a Progressive Breakfast analysis, the LA teachers' strike was fought on the battleground of a huge charter school impact on their system -- and they won. Lessons for Maryland?

Progressive Maryland Weekly Memo for Monday, January 28, 2019
Several communities have urgent issues coming before local officials, where commercial interests -- that are trampling community interests -- MUST be opposed. In Baltimore, it's small cell wireless facilities; a hearing on the dangers is Thursday, Jan. 31. And in Prince George's, the concrete batch plant permit is back to threaten Bladensburg and its neighbors, with hearing Monday, Feb. 11. See more below.Read more
MD voters back statewide $15 minimum wage
In one of the top issues facing legislators in Annapolis this session, 61% of Maryland voters favor raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour, and almost half (47%) strongly favor the idea, according to a new poll for MarylandReporter.com by Gonzales Research & Media Services. Len Lazarick of Maryland Reporter has the story.

Assembly Black Caucus members express alarm about who Maglev project would serve
Residents along the proposed track of the high-speed Maglev project between Baltimore and Washington are showing increasing concerns about the effects on neighborhoods from Baltimore to Prince George's and the (likely ultra-rich) passengers who might breeze past them without serving their needs. Maryland Matters reports on the Assembly Black Caucus's skeptical response and concerns about the best use of transportation funds and what power the project has to disrupt those neighborhoods without their consent.

Hogan's proposed MoCo toll lanes get increasing pushback in Assembly
"Gov. Lawrence J. Hogan Jr.'s plan to widen the Capital Beltway and Interstate 270 could be pushed back for a year if the General Assembly adopts a bill that would require the state to complete an environmental assessment before moving forward," a report today in Maryland Matters details. As we see here, it's just the latest in a cascade of pushbacks against the proposed "Lexus Lanes."

You can check out a picture of Justin Chatwin as Goku from the upcoming Dragonball Z movie below.
I haven't talked about this one much because frankly I was just never into the cartoon, but from what I've seen so far it looks like they're really trying to capture the look of the characters (lots and lots of hair gel required, no doubt).
The movie is being directed by James Wong, and that's about all I know about it. :-)
I guess it'll have lots of martial arts action in it, and it'll be interesting to see if Wong tries to emulate the anime style of cinematography in a live action film. Of course we've seen how that might go over in Speed Racer's box office numbers...
Thanks to "Roman" for the shout.
Dragonball Z opens on April 10, 2009.

So what are your feelings about this? Are you guys looking forward to it?

These patients frequently exhibit several co-morbidities (e.g., COPD, osteoporosis, burns, organ transplants, cardio-pulmonary and neurological conditions) that may influence movement and exercise prescription. Some of these conditions may have conflicting treatment options (e.g., spinal stenosis vs osteoporosis) and some diagnoses may take precedence over others (e.g., COPD and breathing difficulties vs functional exercise).
Emphasis is placed on innovative techniques for strengthening of the core muscles: Diaphragm and other Breathing Muscles, Lower Abdominals, Pelvic Floor and Back Extensors and other "Fountain-of-Youth Muscles" such as the Gluteus Maximus and Medius.
Products to augment an exercise program will be introduced. Included are:
- The Spinomed IV spinal orthosis, which has been shown in research to strengthen the back extensors and abdominals, increase vital capacity, and relieve back pain, and can be used as an active, functional option for bracing.
- The Independence (Sit-To-Stand) Chair to improve this most functional of daily movements.
Included will be updated research evidence on physical frailty and osteoporosis and a successfully implemented protocol for the management of the patient with an acute spinal compression fracture. With an emphasis on alignment and safety, participants will learn to move from and for the bones in perch posture, sit-to-stand-to-sit and other movements.
In addition, participants will be introduced to:
- The Meeks Method breathing exercises that can be adapted even for critically-ill patients;
- The Re-Alignment Routine,™ a set of four (4) exercises that can be adapted for all populations and which gives a safe, stable and functional foundation in preparation for a more advanced exercise program;
- Exercise prescription in positions from least to most spinal compression.
- Sit-To-Stand-To-Sit
- Patterns of Postural Change
- Anatomy From and For The Bones
- Positioning
- Breath
- Re-Alignment Routine—Supine Isometric Strengthening
- Frailty
- Osteoporosis
- Postural Correction
- Balance
- Gait
- ADL's
- Bracing
- Exercise Classes
- Habitual vs non-Habitual Movement
- Discuss the conditions of physical frailty and osteoporosis as they pertain to patient populations which are being seen by rehab personnel in their own practices.
- Articulate the guidelines for management of the patient with acute spinal compression fracture.
- Discuss the principles of modification of an exercise program and specific exercises including breath and The Re-Alignment Routine to meet the needs of the individual patient including patients with conflicting diagnoses (e.g., spinal stenosis).
- Demonstrate movement from and for the bones which is designed to increase safety and strengthening of the bony structure of the body.
- Articulate the importance of optimal body alignment as it pertains to the effect of muscle contraction and weight-bearing forces in therapeutic exercise.
- Demonstrate Perch Posture, Safe Sit-To-Stand-To-Sit, 2 Visual Images for Postural Correction, Beginning Weight-Shifting Exercises for Balance, and 2 Different Visual Images for Improvement in Gait.
- Plan a beginning therapeutic exercise program for the physically frail or pre-frail patient and revise it as necessary using the principles of The Meeks' Method.
- Demonstrate elements of improved body mechanics during ADL's.
- Be able to discuss reasons for bracing with the Spinomed IV Spinal Orthosis and use of the Sit-To-Stand Independence Chair.

5 Questions You Should Ask When Thinking of Tattoo Removal
Melissa Vaughn
Making the decision to get a tattoo removed is a big deal. Understanding what to expect from the process doesn't have to be. Here's some straight talk from our team.
Some people say tattoo removal feels like a rubber band snap. Others say it's like an electric shock. Everyone's a little different so that's no surprise.
We recommend taking the edge off and provide all clients with an Rx-strength topical anesthetic cream pre-treatment and utilize a cooling system during treatment to keep skin nice and cool. We have detailed post-treatment instructions to help minimize pain throughout the whole process.
Expect to invest more than you did on that new pair of jeans or your last Botox® treatment. For a complete removal, most clients pay between $1,500-$3,000.
Huge disclaimer: No two tattoos are exactly the same. Depth, ink color and particle size, size of the tattoo and location on the body all contribute to cost. So, if you come in with a sleeve or a huge back piece with lots of dense ink, expect to pay more.
During our complimentary consul, we'll use our plastic surgeon-developed InkAnalytics® diagnostics platform to provide you with the most accurate quote that's in alignment with your goal.
Real talk: We're not going to be the cheapest in town, because you get what you pay for—25% of our clients started somewhere else and came to us because they want the best. And we tell people to shop around – it's a big decision (your skin!) and there's lots of emotion involved. We get that.
Integrity is our most important value as a company, so we promise to shoot straight and take good care of you.
More real talk: We're talking a year here, maybe more. But good things come to those who wait – and we pride ourselves on being the best.
Using our advanced PicoWay® Laser technology, most tattoos are removed in as few as 8 visits, with sessions scheduled 8 to 10 weeks apart. Successful removal requires treatment and healing – there's no benefit to rushing treatments. So, we'll use the time to get to know each other and enjoy the ride.
Like most things in life, you're going to get out what you put in. For example, stopping smoking (probably a good idea anyway) can shorten the treatment cycle because your body can use its natural devices to process the ink more efficiently when it's not wrestling with other stuff.
We see many clients who use tattoo removal as the start of a positive domino effect in other parts of their lives!
We're going to be upfront with you in the consultation process, and if we don't think we can remove your tattoo we'll tell you before we waste your time or money.
That said, most tattoos can be entirely removed using our array of PicoWay® laser wavelengths and hands-on experience from 60,000+ treatments.
The speed at which PicoWay® Laser technology works (we're talking one trillionth of a second) disrupts and removes ink at the molecular level. It's more effective and efficient – and safer for people with a variety of skin types.
Based on the specific characteristics of your tattoo and your skin, our laser professionals will be open with you about what level of removal is possible.
Here's our honest take. Sometimes it isn't too good to be true. Sometimes it's true.
- Integrity is our most important value, so we're going to be up front and honest with you about the process, pain and the price. We treat our clients like our friends and family.
- We offer InkAnalytics® diagnostics which let us be transparent about your expected outcome, how many sessions you'll need and how much it'll cost – again, totally up front.
- We work with the best technology: FDA-approved 3-wavelength PicoWay® lasers, that are safe for everyone.
- We have the country's most experienced laser managers in tattoo removal, with more than 60,000 successful treatments under our belts.
- All we do is tattoo removal. No hair removal, skin rejuvenation, fat melting or any of the other buffet of stuff you'll see elsewhere. We believe focus matters and makes us better! And we're not going to try to sell you a bunch of other stuff when you're here.
As you prepare for a consultation or treatment, don't be afraid to ask questions.
We promise to tell you the truth.

A Framework for Scaling Up Distributed Minds
An important topic in artificial intelligence is the modular decomposition of problems and solutions into smaller ones. Modular, "hybrid" solutions tend to be built from components mostly created by the same programmer or the same team. What if we already have many solutions online - programs created by a number of different authors and hosted as services - and wish to compose them into a larger, distributed hybrid program which performs better than the individual components? Can this be done automatically? The World-Wide Mind (W2M) project attempts to scale up artificial intelligence by distributing action-selecting agents (which we call "minds") and problem environments (which we call "worlds") as services on the internet, and by allowing minds to call other minds and thus facilitate building hybrid minds from many programs which may have been written by many authors. This paper gives a general overview of the W2M architecture and ongoing work examining the possibility of automatically constructing hybrid minds.

Our church recites the Apostles' Creed every other week. It's a beautiful, ancient creed. I love its Trinitarian formula: God the Father is maker of heaven and earth. Jesus Christ, the begotten-Son, is redeemer. The Holy Spirit brings the saints together into one holy catholic church.
As beautiful and ancient as it is, many people are thrown off by one line which comes under the office of the Son. It says that after Christ had died and was buried, that "He descended into hell".
Jesus descended into hell? What does that mean?
What usually comes to mind here is Christ dying and then going to the fires of hell to be further tormented by the devil. This imagery would reasonably detract many people. Is this what the creed really means by "he descended into hell"?
In this post I want to lay out the common historic understandings of this line. I will look at three views: The Reformed view, the Lutheran view, and the Roman Catholic view:
First, the Reformed churches have historically rejected any notion that Christ went to hell after his death and during his three days in the grave. Rather, the Reformed churches pose that Christ's descent into hell refers to the anguish he experienced on the cross. Christ, being separated from the Father, bearing the sins of the world, experienced eternal torment for mankind on the cross.
The Heidelberg Catechism, Question 44, says it this way:
Why is it added: "He descended into hell"?
That in my greatest temptations I may be assured that Christ my Lord, by his inexpressible anguish, pains, and terrors, which he suffered in his soul on the cross and before, has redeemed me from the anguish and torment of hell
Christ has experienced hell that I might not. And of course this is true.
The Luther church, however, would disagree with this understanding of the creed. The Lutherans understand Christ's descent into hell under the rubric of his victory over satan and demons.
Lutheran Henry Jacobs, in his Summary of Christian Doctrine, questions 39-43, says that "the Reformed Church regards 'the descent into hell' as a part of the humiliation; the Lutheran Church, as we shall see, regards it the first grade of the State of Exaltation".
Jacobs classifies Christ's descent into hell as part of his exaltation (i.e. victory over sin and death) as opposed to his humiliation (i.e. experience of wrath and the cross). How can this be so? Jacobs brings in 1 Peter 3:18-19 as proof that when Christ descended into hell, it was not to suffer, but rather to pronounce victory over the demonic spirits.
1 Peter 3:18-19 says,
Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison
Jacobs explains:
We simply believe that the entire person, God and man, after the burial descended into hell, conquered the devil, destroyed the power of hell, and took from the devil all his might. We should not, however, trouble ourselves with sublime and acute thoughts, as to how this occurred. (Formula of Concord, 643)
So, during the three days in the grave, Christ descended into hell to "destroy the power of hell". This was on the basis that Christ had defeated sin and death.
The Roman Catholic church differs only slightly from the Lutheran position. The Catholic catechism says:
The frequent New Testament affirmations that Jesus was "raised from the dead" presuppose that the crucified one sojourned in the realm of the dead prior to his resurrection. This was the first meaning given in the apostolic preaching to Christ's descent into hell: that Jesus, like all men, experienced death and in his soul joined the others in the realm of the dead. But he descended there as Savior, proclaiming the Good News to the spirits imprisoned there
Scripture calls the abode of the dead, to which the dead Christ went down, "hell" – Sheol in Hebrew or Hades in Greek – because those who are there are deprived of the vision of God. Such is the case for all the dead, whether evil or righteous, while they await the Redeemer: which does not mean that their lot is identical, as Jesus shows through the parable of the poor man Lazarus who was received into "Abraham's bosom": "It is precisely these holy souls, who awaited their Savior in Abraham's bosom, whom Christ the Lord delivered when he descended into hell." Jesus did not descend into hell to deliver the damned, nor to destroy the hell of damnation, but to free the just who had gone before him (632-33)
The Catholic church affirms with the Lutherans that Jesus went into hell, or Sheol, or the realm of the dead, however one sees it. But he went there "not…to deliver the damned, nor to destroy the hell of damnation, but to free the just". Meaning, Jesus went to release the Old Testament saints into the beatific vision. According to this view, the Old Testament faithful could not enter into the divine vision until justice had been satisfied — the cross did just that. And so Jesus went to Sheol to preach victory and to release the faithful to heaven.
The Catholic church provides 1 Peter 4:6 as proof of this: "the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does".
The catechism says:
The gospel was preached even to the dead." The descent into hell brings the Gospel message of salvation to complete fulfilment. This is the last phase of Jesus' messianic mission, a phase which is condensed in time but vast in its real significance: the spread of Christ's redemptive work to all men of all times and all places, for all who are saved have been made sharers in the redemption.
It is important to note that the Lutheran church doesn't deny that Christ released the faithful into the divine presence. Henry Jacobs explains that "we may regard it probable that the proclamation of victory announced to one class to their terror was made to another class, to their joy and triumph." However, he prefaces that "we dare not think of those who departed in faith as until then 'in prison.'" In other words, the Old Testaments saints may have been freed into the beatific vision, however, they were not in "prison" (1 Pet 3:19) as the demonic spirits were.
So these are the three main interpretations of Christ's descent into hell. While I do affirm the Reformed position, that Christ experienced hell on the cross, I must admit that that position has weaknesses. What about Peter's description of Christ's descent? What about "preaching to the dead"? For this reason, I also affirm that Christ did descend into Sheol, or hell, to pronounce his victory over sin and death. This pronouncement, I presume, both condemned the demonic spirits, and redeemed the Old Testament saints. It was the last phase of Christ's mission, after which he was resurrected and ascended to the right hand of the Father.

Der Aufbau der transatlantischen Zukunft: Fulbright Berlin Seminar 3
Olivia Wilkins
The Berlin Seminar ended on Thursday, March 24, and although I had a great time, ten days of travel around Deutschland (Hannover-Berlin-München) left me exhausted and eager to be home. After arriving home in Köln, Alex and I both felt like we were fighting off some sort of sickness. Thankfully, we didn't catch the flu unlike many of the other attendees at the seminar!
The last two days (I've already posted about the first two days, including a transcript of the talk I gave at the opening ceremony) of the Berlin Seminar were full of different perspectives, mostly from other Fulbrighters but also from a Berlin governement official.
On Tuesday morning, the American Fulbrighters were bussed to das Rotes Rathaus—a red brick building erected in the Mitte district of Berlin in the 1860s. Das Rotes Rathaus is home to the governing mayor of the city of Berlin, as well as the senate of the federal state of Berlin. Because it lies in the eastern part of the city, it served as the town hall of East Berlin after World War II; after German reunification, the reunified Berlin government officially moved into das Rotes Rathaus on 1. Oktober 1991.
The area surrounding das Rotes Rathaus is marked even today by relics of the Soviet occupation in East Berlin following World War II, although any differences between East and West Berlin are imperceptible. One such example is on the eastern bank of the Spree River: the Marx-Engels Forum, named for Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. (Marx and Engels authored The Communist Manifesto (1848) and are perhaps the two most influential people of the socialist movement, a trademark of the Soviet Union.) Inside the Rathaus, Berlin's divided past was mostly forgotten, and the progress of a new Berlin was celebrated.
The first session on Tuesday was the European Dimensions Panel featuring five Fulbrighters in other European countries (specifically France, Hungary, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Sweden) talking about their experiences in a different culture. One of the concepts that most impressed me was that of "Fika," a way of life presented by McKenzie K., grantee in Sweden. Fika, whick is derived from Swedish backslang of the 19th century by reversing the syllables in kaffi, is a coffee break, usually paired with sweet baked goods. However, as McKenzie learned from her advisor who decided to fika in the middle of fieldwork on top of a mountain, fika is not just a coffee break to the Swedes but a way of life. It is a value placed upon slowing down and enjoying life and the company of others. This is a concept I've observed even in Germany. On Thursdays, everyone in the I. Physikalisches Institut der Universität zu Köln is invited to Kaffeeklatsch for an hour to just sit and hang out and talk about anything non-work related. This contrasts significantly with my only previous experience with coffee breaks in which colleagues stand around a coffee urn and awkwardly update each other on the progress of their research project.
Other topics discussed at the European Dimensions Panel included:
- cultural politics in France (including the existence of discrimination despite an ideology of color-blindedness)
- working with the Roma (an ethnic minority) in Hungary
- nationalism in Hungary, a country that lost two-thirds of its land (including residents) following World War I
- living in Norway 200+ miles above the Arctic circle
- reindeer racing in Norway
- perceptions of the U.K. before and after living there as a professor
- the culture of London versus the culture of the rest of the U.K.
- the globalization of English as a means to learn about and accept others' cultures
After the European Dimensions Panel, the Fulbrighters had the opportunity to listen to Dr. Volker Pellet, Chief of Protocol and Foreign Policy Advisor to the Governing Mayor of Berlin, talk about Berlin as "a city that is constantly reinventing itself." Dr. Pellet described Berlin as a city of opportunity with increasing venture capital and a commitment to the arts. He also described investment in small initiatives to make ground in forging Berlin's identity, rather than large-scale projects that heed no results with changing governemnts. Regarding the arts in Berlin, Dr. Pellet described the city as having a "special spirit", but he acknowledged that perhaps there is too much opportunity in the arts, driving up competition and hence prices for spaces dedicated to creative works. Dr. Pellet also pulled from his previous experiences as a diplomat in New York City and Havana to comment on foreign relations (specifically those between the U.S. and Cuba).
After the welcome by the Berlin government, Alex and I had the afternoon off; we used this opportunity to walk down Unter den Linden, a boulevard through East Berlin crossing Museuminsel and ending at das Brandenburger Tor. From there, we walked to the Reichstag before heading back to the hotel.
The last day of the conference included a concluding panel of 12 project presentations spanning the humanities, arts and sciences. The Fulbrighters presenting talked about their work related to:
- using thermal gradiants to study prebiotic chemistry
- the global network of languages and the widespread use of English
- various methods used to restore art and cultural heritage
- needlework in Scotland
- nuerodegenderation and the role of microglia
- students' experiences with migration
- SpeechBanana—an auditory training app
- Turkish teachers and imams in Germany since 1961
- charge transport technology in solar energy
- Bulgarian culture
- the effect of urban noise on bats
- colonization of wood-decay fungi in living tree roots
This part of the seminar was a great showcase of the variety of projects and backgrounds of Fulbright grantees, showing a plethora of ways in which Fulbright lends to building a transatlantic future.
