Paint chip bookmarks
Looks like I'm on a bookmark kick. We had extra paint swatches lying around because, lo and behold, we painted our guest room orange over the Christmas break. (I'll show you after we get some stuff on the walls.) These paint chips were begging to be spared from the trash. Trim them to a size you like, paste two colors back-to-back with some rubber cement, attach a string or ribbon, and you're golden. They're especially sturdy because the paper stock they're printed on is very tough. Now I have no excuse for using a Kleenex or an extra book as a bookmark.

Spironolactone has caused tumors in laboratory animals. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication for your condition.
Why is this medication prescribed?
Spironolactone is used to treat certain patients with hyperaldosteronism (the body produces too much aldosterone, a naturally occurring hormone); low potassium levels; heart failure; and in patients with edema (fluid retention) caused by various conditions, including liver, or kidney disease. It is also used alone or with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Spironolactone is in a class of medications called aldosterone receptor antagonists. It causes the kidneys to eliminate unneeded water and sodium from the body into the urine but reduces the loss of potassium from the body.
High blood pressure is a common condition and when not treated, can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys and other parts of the body. Damage to these organs may cause heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems. In addition to taking medication, making lifestyle changes will also help to control your blood pressure. These changes include eating a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising at least 30 minutes most days, not smoking, and using alcohol in moderation.
How should this medicine be used?
Spironolactone comes as a tablet and suspension (liquid; Carospir) to take by mouth. It usually is taken once or twice a day. Take spironolactone suspension consistently either with food or without food each time. Take spironolactone at around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take spironolactone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Shake the oral suspension well before each use to mix the medication evenly.
Your doctor may start you on a low dose of spironolactone and gradually increase your dose.
Spironolactone tablets and suspension release the medication differently in your body and cannot be substituted for one another. Only take the spironolactone product prescribed by your doctor and do not switch to a different spironolactone product unless your doctor says that you should.
Spironolactone controls high blood pressure, edema, heart failure, and hyperaldosteronism but does not cure these conditions. It may take about 2 weeks or longer before the full effect of spironolactone occurs. Continue to take spironolactone even if you feel well. Do not stop taking spironolactone without talking to your doctor.
Other uses for this medicine
Spironolactone also is used in combination with other medicines to treat precocious puberty (a condition causing children to enter puberty too soon, resulting in the development of sexual characteristics in girls usually younger than 8 years of age and in boys usually younger than 9 years of age) or myasthenia gravis (MG, a disease in which the nerves do not function properly and patients may experience weakness; numbness; loss of muscle coordination; and problems with vision, speech, and bladder control). Spironolactone also may be used to treat certain female patients with abnormal facial hair. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this medication for your condition.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What special precautions should I follow?
Before taking spironolactone,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to spironolactone; any other medications; or any of the ingredients in spironolactone tablets. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
- tell your doctor if you are taking eplerenone (Inspra). Your doctor may tell you not to take spironolactone if you are taking this medication.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: aminoglycoside antibiotics such as amikacin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin (Neo-Rx, Neo-Fradin), streptomycin, and tobramycin (Tobi); angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors such as benazepril (Lotensin, in Lotrel), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril, lisinopril (in Prinzide, in Zestoretic), moexipril (Univasc, in Uniretic), perindopril, (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril, in Accuretic, in Quinaretic), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik, in Tarka); angiotensin II antagonists (angiotensin receptor blockers; ARBs) such as azilsartan (Edarbi, Edarbyclor), candesartan (Atacand, in Atacand HCT), eprosartan (Teveten, in Teveten HCT), irbesartan (Avapro, in Avalide), losartan (Cozaar, in Hyzaar), olmesartan (Benicar, in Azor, Benicar HCT, Tribenzor), telmisartan (Micardis, in Micardis HCT), and valsartan (Diovan, in Diovan HCT, Exforge); aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), indomethacin (Indocin, Tivorbex), and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn); barbiturates such as phenobarbital; cholestyramine (Prevalite); cisplatin; digoxin (Lanoxin); diuretics ('water pills') including potassium-sparing diuretics such as amiloride (Midamor) and triamterene (Dyrenium, in Dyazide, in Maxzide); heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin enoxaparin (Lovenox); lithium (Lithobid); medications to treat high blood pressure; narcotic medications for pain; oral steroids such as dexamethasone, methylprednisolone (Medrol), and prednisone (Rayos); potassium supplements; and trimethoprim (Primsol, in Bactrim).
- tell your doctor if you have Addison's disease or other conditions that may cause high blood levels of potassium, or kidney disease. Your doctor may tell you not to take spironolactone.
- tell your doctor if you have liver disease.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while taking spironolactone, call your doctor.
- if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are taking spironolactone.
- you should know that drinking alcohol with this medication may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting when you get up too quickly from a lying position. Talk to your doctor about drinking alcohol while you are taking spironolactone.
What special dietary instructions should I follow?
Follow your doctor's directions for your meals, including advice for a reduced-salt (sodium) diet and daily exercise program. Avoid potassium-containing salt substitutes while you are taking this medication. Talk with your doctor about the amount of potassium-rich foods (e.g., bananas, prunes, raisins, and orange juice) that you may have in your diet.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What side effects can this medication cause?
Spironolactone may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- stomach pain or cramps
- enlarged or painful breasts in men or women
- irregular menstrual periods
- vaginal bleeding in post-menopausal ('after the change of life', the end of monthly menstrual periods) women
- difficulty maintaining or achieving an erection
- deepening of voice
- increased hair growth on parts of the body
- drowsiness
- tiredness
- restlessness
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
- muscle weakness, pain, or cramps
- pain, burning, numbness, or tingling in the hands or feet
- inability to move arms or legs
- changes in heartbeat
- confusion
- nausea
- extreme tiredness
- dry mouth, thirst, dizziness, unsteadiness, headache, or other signs of dehydration
- unusual bleeding or bruising

If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online (http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
What should I know about storage and disposal of this medication?
Keep this medicine in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom).
It is important to keep all medication out of sight and reach of children as many containers (such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers) are not child-resistant and young children can open them easily. To protect young children from poisoning, always lock safety caps and immediately place the medication in a safe location – one that is up and away and out of their sight and reach. http://www.upandaway.org
Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them. However, you should not flush this medication down the toilet. Instead, the best way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take-back program. Talk to your pharmacist or contact your local garbage/recycling department to learn about take-back programs in your community. See the FDA's Safe Disposal of Medicines website (http://goo.gl/c4Rm4p) for more information if you do not have access to a take-back program.
In case of emergency/overdose
In case of overdose, call the poison control helpline at 1-800-222-1222. Information is also available online at https://www.poisonhelp.org/help. If the victim has collapsed, had a seizure, has trouble breathing, or can't be awakened, immediately call emergency services at 911.
Symptoms of overdose may include the following:
- drowsiness
- confusion
- rash
- nausea
- vomiting
- dizziness
- diarrhea
- tingling in arms and legs
- loss of muscle tone
- weakness or heaviness in legs
- irregular or slow heartbeat
What other information should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your body's response to spironolactone.
Before having any laboratory test, tell your doctor and the laboratory personnel that you are taking spironolactone.
Do not let anyone else take your medicine. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

Halloween is a time when ghosts and goblins are turned into fun. Haunting and being haunted are transformed into entertainment. But every other day of the year being haunted isn't fun at all … especially when we are haunted by our own history. Haunted by our own histories personally. And haunted by our own histories communally.
We are haunted by our own histories when we carry the wounding we experienced long ago consciously or unconsciously into our adult life, and act out what we suffered on those around us. In this way we impact our partners, our children, our friends and neighbors, those with whom we work, and others with whom we come in contact close by and far away. In this day and age we can have an effect globally through the internet without even leaving our homes. For example, cyber-bullying can hurt people right next door, beyond country borders, or across the earth.
Bullying* is a helpful, though painful, example of how we're haunted by our history. If we were bullied as children, it is traumatic. We struggle with the experience of the bullying and how to respond inside and out. We also try to repress the memories and feelings they evoke in us, often succeeding in pushing them away or numbing ourselves to them until someone can help us safely face them and work through them inside ourselves. That pushing away of the experience can save our sanity or even our lives originally. But there is a consequence: we will re-enact the original bullying experience within ourselves and with others. We may bully ourselves internally and sometimes even silently, or right out in the open. We may criticize or even shame ourselves inside ourselves or aloud for those around us to hear, perhaps never realizing we are saying to ourselves what our parents (or some other bully) said to us or even felt about us – as their parents said to or felt about them, and their parents before them, too, back many generations.
As we unconsciously draw to us or re-create the original scenarios in our current day lives, we may find ourselves bullied by others again and again, subtly or blatantly. Or we may become a bully and do to others what was originally done to us, whether in dreams, fantasy, or in our day-to-day reality, almost imperceptibly or audibly, visibly, and ever-so-palpably.
All of this can happen in our private lives right in our own homes, or in our public lives. Some but not all … spouses bully their partners … parents bully their children … teachers bully their students … clergy bully their parishioners … doctors bully their patients … police officers bully those in their communities … government officials abuse the citizens they are governing. And all of this because they are haunted by their own experiences from long, long ago.
Last month's blog article gave examples of how presidents and presidential candidates may have been haunted by their histories – affecting themselves and others nationwide and even globally. Many of the posts in PoliPsych show how this occurs and discuss how to heal the haunting. Without the healing, we will keep being haunted, not only on Halloween, but every single day. Without doing the inner work to heal our past traumas, we will keep being haunted ourselves and we will keep haunting those our own haunting trauma impacts, both up close and personal and far, far away.
George Santayana's wisdom could inspire and help us all at this time in history.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."**
Please join me in the work of remembering and working to heal your own past that is still alive inside you, whether you're conscious of it or not. Your own personal past. Your own familial past that gets passed down generation after generation. Please join me in healing your individual past and in so doing, join me in healing our communal past … the communal past that is showing up right out in the light of day, as well as the communal past that lives invisibly in the communal unconscious (also known as the collective unconscious.) ***
Every time we do our own inner healing work, we change our own inner lives, our own outer lives, the impact we have on those around us, and the communal unconscious itself.
Will you join me in healing the haunting we live with day by day by day?
Will you join me in healing the haunting that escalates until we finally heal it?
Will you join me in healing the haunting that is not fun at all – the haunting that multiplies itself until we finally heal, resolve, and transform it?

A look at what's happening around the majors today:
Recommended Videos
David Ortiz will certainly hear loud chants of "Big Papi!" as he's enshrined in the Hall of Fame during induction ceremonies at Cooperstown, New York.
Ortiz hit 541 home runs in 20 big league seasons and helped the Boston Red Sox win three World Series championhips.
Joining Ortiz on stage will be three-time batting champion Tony Oliva and 283-game winner Jim Kaat.
Also getting their due on induction day are: Dodgers great Gil Hodges, who managed the New York Mets to their first World Series title in 1969; Minnie Miñoso, a star with the Chicago White Sox in the 1950s; Buck O'Neil, who played for the Kansas City Monarchs in the Negro Leagues and was a tireless advocate for the game; and Bud Fowler, a pioneering Black player who grew up in Cooperstown in the 1860s and played in more than a dozen leagues.
Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara makes his first start since an impressive showing in the All-Star Game.
The 26-year-old righty faces the Pirates at PNC Park. He is 9-4 and his 1.76 ERA is second in the majors to Tampa Bay's Shane McClanahan at 1.71.
On Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, Alcantara pitched a perfect second inning. He struck out Giancarlo Stanton and Byron Buxton — in their next at-bats against Tony Gonsolin, they hit back-to-back home runs that powered the AL to a 3-2 win.
Clayton Kershaw faces a familiar foe when he starts against the Giants at Dodger Stadium.
The longtime Los Angeles ace is 24-15 with a 1.91 ERA vs. San Francisco in 53 games, 51 of them starts — that's the team he's seen the most often in his career.
Kershaw (7-2, 2.13) started the All-Star Game last Tuesday in his home park. He drew a lot of attention and did a live TV interview just moments before throwing his first pitch. Kershaw gave up a first-pitch single to Shohei Ohtani, then picked him off first base, and struck out Aaron Judge while working a scoreless first inning.
Daniel Vogelbach figures to make his Mets debut when the NL East leaders face All-Star righty Joe Musgrove (8-2, 2.42 ERA) and the San Diego Padres in prime time at Citi Field.
The beefy Vogelbach, a left-handed hitter with 12 home runs, was acquired Friday from Pittsburgh to provide much-needed pop at designated hitter. Rookie reliever Colin Holderman was traded to the Pirates.
New York has been outscored 6-2 in the first two games of the series and its division lead is down to a half-game over defending World Series champion Atlanta. The slumping Mets, who had a 10 1/2-game cushion on June 1, have lost three straight for the second time this year. They've managed only 10 runs in their last five games.
Carlos Carrasco (10-4, 4.27) tries to help New York prevent a three-game sweep.
Yankees lefty Nestor Cortes provided a fun, running commentary on his pitching during the All-Star Game when he was on a microphone with catcher Jose Trevino and the Fox announcers while on the mound.
Cortes and Trevino, his Yankees teammate, talked about what pitches were coming, working around a walk and a hit batter in a scorless sixth inning.
Known for his tricky motions, Cortes (7-3, 2.63 ERA) won't be giving away any secrets when he starts against Baltimore at Camden Yards.
The series finale for this weekend's Guardians-White Sox series in Chicago features an intriguing matchup of tough right-handers.
Dylan Cease (9-4, 2.15 ERA) is in the middle of a breakout season for the White Sox, going 5-1 with a sparkling 0.65 ERA in his past seven starts. He worked seven innings of one-hit ball in an 11-0 victory at Minnesota in his last outing before the All-Star break.
Shane Bieber (4-5, 3.24 ERA) gets the ball for Cleveland. The 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner tossed a three-hitter in a 4-1 victory over the White Sox in his last start on July 12.

I wanted to try something new for a family barbecue, but we didn't have very much time to do anything very different. Back in May, I saw a recipe on CES for a red onion sauce popular on hotdogs in New York City, so I ran with that (with a few changes of course). The sauce isn't made of onions, it's a red sauce with onions in it. Or, more accurately, onions covered in a reddish sauce.
The resulting sauce was very flavourful, and the cayenne added a good zing to it.
Red Onion Sauce
2 tbsp oil
2 onions, chopped
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
- In a medium saucepan, heat oil and on medium heat and saute onions until translucent.
- Add garam masala and chili powder and stir for one minute.
- Add remaining ingredients, stir, and let simmer, stirring frequently for 10-15 minutes, until mixture thickens.
- Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
- Serve at room temperature.
Note: this mixutre isn't a pickle like relish, so it must be refrigerated and eaten within 2-3 days.

King Arthur Flour has a White Whole Wheat that is really good and good for you. It doesn't have a really strong whole wheat flavor so you can sneak it into lots of things without your family knowing.

Yah on your early C gift!! Home made bread is the best. And if you gradually start adding more wheat and less white to your batch, your family will start to love the nutty yumminess of whole wheat bread.

Ohhhhh, so tempting!!! I had to STOP baking bread because I was helpless and could not resist eating it ALL - absolutely NO self control, and my Dh doesn't like much bread - what's wrong with that? But the image of that raspjelly might just take me over the edge of self control - and I don't have a Bosch! 8-)))

Creating New Pages
< Basic editing | Documentation Index | Links >
authors (basic)
The first step to create a new page is to edit an existing page and add a link to the page you want to create.
[[my new page]]
will create a link to my new page. There's a lot you can do with double bracket links.
You can see that the links to my new page all have question marks after them. That's because my new page hasn't been written yet. Clicking the link as second step will take you to an edit form where you could write and finally save the new page.
Another way to create a page: in your browser's address bar (where the page URL is), replace the name of the current page with the name of the page you wish to create, and hit Enter or do whatever you would normally do to go to a new location. PmWiki will then dutifully tell you that the page you entered doesn't exist, but you can click on the "Edit" link in order to create, edit, and save the new page.
The drawback to this method is that there are no links to your new page, so you're the only person who knows it exists. It will be an orphan, unread, unlinked, unloved. That's why adding a link to an existing page or to the SideBar is a better way to create a page.

How do I create a new page?
Typing [[my new page]]
will create a link to the new page. There's a lot you can do with double bracket links.
Why do some new pages have a title with spaces like "Creating New Pages" and others end up with a WikiWord-like title like "CreatingNewPages"?
The default page title is simply the name of page, which is normally stored as "CreatingNewPages." However, you can override a page's title by using the (:title Creating New Pages:)
directive. This is especially useful when there are special characters or capitalization that you want in the title that cannot be used in the page name.

Some employers are taking a tougher stance against workers' drug use since recreational marijuana became legal in Colorado, according to a new workplace survey.
One in five Colorado employers reported that they have implemented more stringent drug-testing policies in the wake of passage of Amendment 64 in 2012.
Only 2 percent of responding companies said they have relaxed their testing for marijuana; 71 percent reported no changes in screening since legalization.
The survey, by Denver-based Mountain States Employers Council, queried 1,648 members of the organization. Responses were sent by 334 companies.
"There seems to be a movement toward more testing," said Curtis Graves, a staff attorney with the employers group. "A lot of people are freaked out" about the prospects of employees' legal marijuana use.
Graves said increased testing may be a result of several factors, including aggressive marketing to Colorado employers by drug-test vendors and a campaign to make companies aware that costs for workers' compensation are lower for businesses that test.
Cannabist Q&A: Fielding queries from readers about all marijuana matters
Advocates for legal marijuana say it should be treated the same as alcohol, with no workplace sanctions if employees consume it responsibly off the job.
Despite marijuana's legal status in Colorado, courts have ruled that employers have the right to fire workers for using pot, even off-duty.
In a split decision last year, the Colorado Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of a Dish Network employee who admitted he used medical marijuana off the job but said he was never impaired at work.
The court said Colorado's Lawful Off-Duty Activities Statute, which protects workers from being fired for engaging in legal acts, did not apply because of marijuana's illegal status under federal law. That decision is under appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court.
Fairfield & Woods employment law attorney Michelle Magruder said the appeals-court ruling gave assurance to employers that their drug-testing policies are valid and enforceable. She said that may be reflected in the survey results indicating a more stringent testing approach.
The court case showed employers that "it's OK to continue your policies on drugs and alcohol, and to implement drug-free workplaces," Magruder said.
Strain reviews: Oaktown Crippler, Blue Dream, Tahoe OG, Death Star, Flo, and more
Among other findings of the Mountain States Employers Council survey:
• 77 percent of respondents said they test for drugs either in pre-employment screenings or during employment.
• Of those that test, 97 percent screen for marijuana and cocaine, 96 percent for opiates and 95 percent for amphetamines. Seven percent test for alcohol.
• 53 percent of testing employers said they would fire a worker for a first-time positive test for marijuana, and 12 percent would allow an employee to return under probationary conditions.
Mason Tvert, of the pro-legalization advocacy group Marijuana Policy Project, said the survey had suspect methodology that produced biased results.
He said the 20 percent response rate to the survey was "abysmal," and noted that members of the Mountain States Employers Council are more inclined to have stringent testing policies than employers in general.
Map: Colorado medical dispensaries and recreational marijuana centers
"The people most likely to respond to something like this are the ones that are far more likely to conduct testing in the first place," he said. "I don't think there should be a conclusion that businesses are cracking down more, based on a survey that has flawed methodology."
Graves, of the employers council, agreed that the group's membership is highly focused on workplace issues and may be predisposed toward drug testing.
Marijuana Industry Group executive director Michael Elliott said employers "continue to have the power to have any marijuana policy they want, including zero tolerance.
"Coloradans can be fired from their jobs for failing a drug test, even if the drug test reveals only trace amounts of marijuana that could have been consumed in a legal place outside of the workplace," he said. "The question remains whether employers are justified in having that much control over the private lives of their employees."

simulation has been busy working on his Doom 3 multi-player mod, Enhanced Militarized Zone (EMZ).Posted by ned
The EMZ mod give players and server admins a much more configurable version of Doom 3. What I like most is the server side of things. Server admins have greater control of the elements of Doom 3 multi-play thus making EMZ a great competition mod for any number of players and with all the gametypes.
updates are:
fall damage cvar for admins
increased functionality of the dedicated server console
Both of these updates get a big 'Thank You' from ned ;]

This document describes compatibility for ensembles of personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used by personnel where operating situations and processes require more than one piece of PPE. Where there is more than one risk to health and safety, it is necessary to wear or use more than one item of PPE at the same time. Such equipment should be compatible and continue to be effective to minimise the risks.
This document includes examples of interactions between items of PPE, between PPE and the operating environment and the effects of PPE on the correct functioning of integrated sensors and electronic devices.
This document provides suggestions of test procedures to assess the effects of any interactions and identify unacceptable restrictions to safe operations.
NOTE The principles of this document are also applicable to assessment of interactions with other items in an ensemble that are necessary to the work and that are not PPE, for example cap lamps, instruments, tools.
This document is also intended to be a general guideline for writers of performance requirements standards and test methods for PPE. This document can also be used by PPE manufacturers, distributors, solutions providers, purchasers, wearers and employers as guidance in PPE design and selection.

What is rabies?
Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the central nervous system. The virus is present primarily in the saliva, brain tissue and spinal fluid of a rabid animal.
What animals can get rabies?
Rabies can affect all mammals. Since 1995 in the United States, more than 7,000 animals per year--most of them wild--have been diagnosed as having the disease. The disease is found in all states except Hawaii, as well as in Canada, Mexico and most other countries around the world.
In wild animal species, rabies is more common in bats, skunks, raccoons, coyotes and foxes, but the disease also has been found in deer and in large rodents, such as woodchucks. Cats, dogs and livestock can get rabies, too, if they are not vaccinated. Some animals, including chipmunks, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, rabbits, rats and squirrels, rarely get rabies. Birds, fish, insects, lizards, snakes and turtles never get rabies.
Most of the recent cases of human rabies that have occurred in the United States have been caused by rabies virus from bats. In Illinois, rabid bats can be found anywhere. Awareness that bats can be a source of the rabies virus can help people protect themselves.
Although bats can carry the rabies virus, most bats are not infected with it. The only way rabies can be diagnosed in a bat, however, is by laboratory testing. There are several signs, though, that could indicate a bat is more likely to be infected with the rabies virus. Bats seen during the day, those found in a place where bats are usually not found (e.g., in a room in your home, on your lawn, etc.) or bats that are unable to fly are more likely to be infected than others. Bats, like all wild animals, should never be handled.
People usually know when they have been bitten by a bat, but there are instances when a bite may not be apparent. Bats have very small teeth and marks made by these teeth may not be easy to see. If you find yourself in close proximity to a bat and cannot assure you were not exposed to it, you should call your doctor or your local health department; they can help to determine if you could have been exposed to rabies. For example, if you awaken and find a bat in your bedroom, if you see a bat in the room of an unattended young child, or if you see a bat near a mentally impaired or intoxicated person, a doctor or local health department should be consulted. Do not discard the bat and do not damage the bat's head.
What are the signs of rabies in an animal?
The first sign of rabies is usually a change in the animal's behavior. An animal need not be "foaming at the mouth" to have rabies. Other signs include difficulty walking, a general appearance of sickness or a change in the animal's normal behavior. For example, if an animal that is normally wild and avoids contact with humans approaches a picnic area, campsite or home and appears tame or friendly, consider it rabid. Conversely, if a normally tame and friendly animal becomes hostile or aggressive without provocation, it too should be considered rabid. A rabid animal usually dies within one week after showing signs of the disease.
How are people exposed to rabies?
People usually are exposed to the rabies virus when an infected animal bites them. Exposure may occur if the animal's saliva enters an open cut or mucous membrane (nose, mouth, eyes). The presence of a bat in a home, or any contact with a bat, represents a possible hazard for rabies and should be reported to the local health department so that the circumstances can be evaluated. The last human case in Illinois was reported in 2021.
What should a person do if an animal bite occurs?
Wash the wound thoroughly with soap and water and seek medical attention immediately. The local health department or the county animal control office also should be notified immediately. The animal should be captured without damaging its head and only if direct contact with the animal can be avoided.
If an apparently healthy domestic dog, cat or ferret bites a human, it must be captured, confined and professionally observed for 10 days following the bite. If the animal remains healthy during this period, it would not have transmitted rabies at the time of the bite. There is no reliable observation period established for non-domestic animals. If a person is bitten by a non-domestic animal and it is available for testing, testing should be done immediately. All animal bites should be reported to the local animal control office.
If an animal suspected of having rabies cannot be observed or tested, or if it tests positive for rabies, treatment of the individual with rabies immune globulin and the vaccine series must begin immediately. Vaccine injections are given in the arm.
People in high-risk occupations--for example, veterinarians, wildlife biologists, wildlife rehabilitators, animal control officers and taxidermists--should consider getting the rabies vaccine to protect themselves from exposures that could occur in their work. This type of vaccination (pre-exposure vaccination) consists of three rabies vaccine injections. These vaccinated persons should have their rabies titers tested every two years. If their titer falls below 1:5 they should receive a booster vaccination. A person already vaccinated and later exposed to rabies must receive two booster injections three days apart immediately after exposure.
What if a pet is exposed to a rabid animal?
If your pet has been in a fight with another animal call your veterinarian. A vaccinated pet may need a booster dose of rabies vaccine as soon as possible. Unvaccinated animals exposed to a known rabid animal must be confined and professionally observed for six months or euthanized.
What can people do to protect themselves and their pets from rabies?
- Do not feed, touch or adopt wild animals or stray dogs or cats
- Vaccinated pets serve as a buffer between rabid wildlife and humans, so be sure dogs and cats are up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations. Consult with your veterinarian about when your pet needs to be vaccinated
- Do not allow pets to roam free
- Do not attract wild animals to your home or yard. Store bird seed or other animal feed in containers with tight-fitting lids. Feed pets indoors. Make sure garbage cans are tightly capped. Board up any openings to your attic, basement, porch or garage. Cap chimneys with screens
- Encourage children to immediately tell an adult if they are bitten or scratched by an animal. Teach children not to approach or to touch any animal they do not know
- Report all animal bites to the local animal control
If a wild animal comes on your property, let it wander away. Bring children and pets indoors and alert neighbors. If the animal is acting abnormally (nocturnal animal around during daylight hours, animal having trouble walking etc) you should contact your local animal control.

Jessica Burde of Polyamory on Purpose is in the midst of an IndieGoGo campaign to fund a book she's writing, the Polyamory on Purpose Guide to Pregnancy, which she plans to release in mid-March. With almost 10 years of polyamory and some pregnancies under her belt, she is uniquely qualified to dispense advice on the subject. And the subject is in dire need of an in-depth guide. Burde explains,
Pregnancy is a big deal for anyone, but there is a whole cultural and medical template to see monogamous couples through the challenges it creates. For poly-folk, pregnancy creates many challenges that monogamous couples never need to confront, from the unexpected pregnancy when you can't be sure who the bio-father is, to deciding if everyone in your polycule will be raising the child together. There are legal hoops, medical hassles, and relationship issues challenges every polycule will need to confront when someone in the polycule becomes pregnant.
. . . I want to create the guide that I wish I'd had during my pregnancies. I want to create a something that is a concise and complete guide to pregnancy in a polyamorous relationship, so that the information is out there for future poly-parents.
The funds gathered during the IndieGoGo campaign will pay for an editor and publishing expenses. This is a flexible funding campaign, so Burde will receive all money contributed by Monday, December 10th at 11:59 p.m. Pacific, even if it falls short of her $700 goal.
Contributor perks include a copy of the ebook, a signed paperback copy of the book, mentions in the book's acknowledgements, and a subscription to all future Polyamory on Purpose guides.
Burde asks that if you don't have the financial means to contribute, help spread the word about the campaign via social media, poly forums, and local meet-ups. If you do have the means, contribute now!

A new form of radiation was discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physicist. He called it X-radiation to denote its unknown nature. This mysterious radiation had the ability to pass through many materials that absorb visible light. X-rays also have the ability to knock electrons loose from atoms. Over the years these exceptional properties have made X-rays useful in many fields, such as medicine and research into the nature of the atom.
Eventually, X-rays were found to be another form of light. Light is the by-product of the constant jiggling, vibrating, hurly-burly of all matter.
Like a frisky puppy, matter cannot be still. The chair you are sitting in may look and feel motionless. But if you could see down to the atomic level you would see atoms and molecules vibrating hundreds of trillions of times a second and bumping into each other, while electrons zip around at speeds of about a million miles per hour.
When charged particles collide--or undergo sudden changes in their motion--they produce bundles of energy called photons that fly away from the scene of the accident at the speed of light. In fact they are light, or electromagnetic radiation, to use the technical term. Since electrons are the lightest known charged particle, they are most fidgety, so they are responsible for most of the photons produced in the universe.
Light can take on many forms. Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma radiation are all different forms of light.
The energy of the photon tells what kind of light it is. Radio waves are composed of low energy photons. Optical photons--the only photons perceived by the human eye--are a million times more energetic than the typical radio photon. The energies of X-ray photons range from hundreds to thousands of times higher than that of optical photons.
The speed of the particles when they collide or vibrate sets a limit on the energy of the photon. The speed is also a measure of temperature. (On a hot day, the particles in the air are moving faster than on a cold day.)
Very low temperatures (hundreds of degrees below zero Celsius) produce low energy radio and microwave photons, whereas cool bodies like ours (about 37 degrees Celsius) produce infrared radiation. Very high temperatures (millions of degrees Celsius) produce X-rays.
The photons themselves can also collide with electrons. If the electrons have more energy than the photons, the collision can boost the energy of the photons. In this way, photons can be changed from low-energy photons to high-energy photons. This process, called Compton scattering, is thought to be important around black holes, where matter is dense and has been heated to many millions of degrees.
The photons collected in space by X-ray telescopes reveal the hot spots in the universe--regions where particles have been energized or raised to high temperatures by gigantic explosions or intense gravitational fields.
Where do such conditions exist? In an astonishing variety of places, ranging from the vast spaces between galaxies to the bizarre, collapsed worlds of neutron stars and black holes.
Emission and Absorption Lines
When a free-ranging electron is accelerated by the electric field of a proton or charged atom (ion), the photons emitted can have a wide range of energies that depends on how fast the electrons are moving and how much they are accelerated. The distribution of photon energies due to this process is called a continuous spectrum, and can be graphed as a smooth curve.
In contrast, if the electron is in orbit around the nucleus of a neutral or charged atom (a.k.a. ion), the spectrum is a series of sharp peaks, or lines. This happens because the orbits of electrons in an atom are strictly regulated by the rules of quantum theory. These orbits, or more accurately, energy states, are separated by a specific amount of energy, just as stairs are separated by a specific height. Just as you cannot move to a position between stair steps, an electron in an atom cannot move to a position between energy states. The atoms for each element, such as oxygen, carbons, etc., have their own unique sets of energy states.
Normally the electrons in atoms are in the lowest energy state, at the bottom of the stairs. But if the atom has been excited by a collision with a free electron, another atom, or a photon, the lowest energy level will be unoccupied. One of the orbiting electrons will quickly jump down to this level, releasing energy in the form of a photon of a specific energy. These photons give rise to an emission line in the spectrum. A hot gas composed of many atoms will give off a spectrum composed of many emission lines due to the various elements that are present in the gas.
The opposite process can also occur. If a stream of photons encounters a gas, those photons whose energy corresponds to energy levels in an atom a step will be absorbed by the atom. This process gives rise to a series of absorption lines in the gas.
Careful studies of the energies of the photons emitted or absorbed by an atom of a particular element give a blueprint for the energy states of that atom. Knowing this blueprint, or energy spectrum, astronomers can look for it in the radiation from stars and gas, and determine the amount of each element present. In this way, astronomers have determined that stars are mostly made of hydrogen, with a mixture of helium and traces of heavier elements such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and so on.
X-ray fluorescence from atoms occurs when a high energy particle or X-ray knocks an electron free from the innermost energy level of an atom, creating an unstable atom. An electron from an outer energy level immediately jumps into a lower energy state, with the emission of an X-ray with a distinct energy specific to the atom. Around black holes this happens when high-energy X-rays produced by hot gas very near the black hole collide with iron atoms in cooler gas and dust in the vicinity.
Another process for producing emission lines is charge-exchange. A charged ion, for example, a carbon or oxygen ion, collides with a neutral atom or molecule and captures one of its electrons. A photon is emitted as the captured electron drops to a lower energy state. This process is called "charge exchange" because an electron is exchanged between a neutral atom and an ion. After such collisions, X-rays are emitted as the captured electrons move into tighter orbits. Charge exchange is especially important for comets, where ions in the solar wind collide with neutral atoms in the cometary atmospheres.
Synchrotron Radiation
But this is not the whole story. X-ray photons can also be created under different conditions. When physicists were operating the first particle accelerators, they discovered that electrons can produce photons without colliding at all. This was possible because the magnetic field in the accelerators was causing the electrons to move in large spirals around magnetic field lines of force. This process is called synchrotron radiation.
In the cosmos particles such as electrons can be accelerated to high energies– near the speed of light– by electric and magnetic fields. These high-energy particles can produce synchrotron photons with wavelengths ranging from radio up through X-ray and gamma-ray energies.
Synchrotron radiation from cosmic sources has a distinctive spectrum, or
distribution of photons with energy. The radiation falls off with energy less
rapidly than does the spectrum of radiation from a hot gas. When synchrotron
radiation is observed in supernova remnants, cosmic jets, or other sources, it
reveals information about the high-energy electrons and magnetic fields that are

Solaris 8 User Administration Tools
- Account Configuration Files
- Admintool
- User Administration Shell Commands
- Shells
- User Account Commands
- Chapter Summary
- Test Yourself
After completing this chapter, you'll be able to
Identify the following login procedures: log into a system, log out of a system, and change login passwords.
State the command used to identify which users are currently logged into the system.
State the steps required to create user accounts on the local system using the admintool utility.
State the command syntax to add, modify, or delete user/group accounts on the local system with the useradd, groupadd, usermod, groupmod, userdel, or groupdel commands.
Given a user's login shell, list the shell initialization files used to set up a user's work environment at login.
To fulfill these objectives, this chapter discusses:
User account configuration files;
Adding, modifying, and deleting user accounts with Admintool;
Adding, modifying, and deleting user accounts with shell commands;
User shells; and
User account commands.
5.1 Account Configuration Files
Three principal files define the identity of a user account: the password file, the shadow file, and the group file.
The Password File
The password file contains the basic identifying information for each user allowed to access a system. The system location of the password file is /etc/passwd. The format of the password file is:
These fields are:
usernamethe name that identifies the user account.
passwordin Solaris 8 an "x" in this field signifies that the corresponding shadow file contains the encrypted password string.
uidthe unique numerical ID assigned to the account. The maximum value for UID is 2147483647, but administrators are urged to use values less than 60,000 to ensure compatibility with all of the tools that are used to manage accounts or display information that includes usernames.
gidthe primary (default) numerical group ID assigned to the account. Like the UID field, the maximum value for GID is 2147483647, but a maximum of 60,000 is preferable.
gcos-fieldthis is the user's real name (the term "gcos-field" is the historical term for this field).
home-dirthe directory where the user is placed after logging in; this usually contains the user's own files and directories.
login-shellthe initial shell that is started on behalf of the user upon logging in. If this field is blank, then /usr/bin/sh is used.
The password file can be read by anyone on the system. There is no information that must be kept secret in this file. A sample password file looks like this:
root:x:0:1:Super-User:/:/sbin/sh daemon:x:1:1::/: bin:x:2:2::/usr/bin: sys:x:3:3::/: adm:x:4:4:Admin:/var/adm: lp:x:71:8:Line Printer Admin:/usr/spool/lp: uucp:x:5:5:uucp Admin:/usr/lib/uucp: nuucp:x:9:9:uucp Admin:/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lib/uucp/uucico listen:x:37:4:Network Admin:/usr/net/nls: pete:x:100:4:Peter Gregory:/export/home/pete:/bin/sh nobody:x:60001:60001:Nobody:/:
Fields in the password file are delimited by colons (":"), and blank fields are signified by two adjacent colons ("::"). For instance, note that the account name field for daemon is blankjust two colons. Also, daemon has no shell entry, so the last character for daemon is the colon delimiter.
The colon delimiter is also used in the shadow and group files, which are discussed in a later section.
It is possible and permissible to create more than one username in the password file with the same UID. Each username will have its own unique password. However, tools such as ls and ps, when used with options displaying username, will display the first username found in the password file matching the UID.
When a new account is added, changed, or removed with the useradd, usermod, or userdel commands (which are discussed later in this chapter), the system creates a backup copy of the password file, called /etc/opasswd.
The Shadow File
The shadow file contains each user account's encrypted password, as well as specific per-account parameters governing "password aging." The system location of the shadow file is /etc/shadow. The format of the shadow file is:
These fields are:
usernamethis is the same username found in the password file.
passworda 13-character encrypted password. If this field contains a lock string (e.g., "locked" or "NP"), the account is inaccessible; if blank, the account has no password.
lastchgdate of last password change (literally the number of days between January 1, 1970, and the date the password was last changed).
minminimum number of days allowed before the password can be changed.
maxmaximum number of days allowed before the password expires.
warnthe number of days prior to expiration that the user is warned.
inactivethe number of days of inactivity allowed for the account before the account is automatically locked.
expirethe date when the user account is deactivated.
flaga field reserved for future use.
The shadow file is restricted so that only the system administrator can read it. This is because an intruder could perform a "dictionary attack," using guessable passwords in an attempt to determine the passwords for one or more accounts. Programs that "crack" account passwords are available for this purpose; thus, the shadow file is not publicly readable.
A sample shadow file looks like this:
root:Pe0iQfp2LcAig:10528:::::: daemon:NP:6445:::::: bin:NP:6445:::::: sys:NP:6445:::::: adm:nIP3GPx2FIZYQ:11053:::::: lp:NP:6445:::::: uucp:NP:6445:::::: nuucp:NP:6445:::::: listen:*LK*::::::: pete:GSSUYVrJ8EKyA:11055:::::: nobody:NP:6445::::::
Note that some of the accounts in the example shadow file have "NP" ("no password") or "*LK*" (locked) in them. These are just two ways of signifying that the accounts are locked against login. There is nothing really magic about "NP" or "*LK*"they are just one way of easily showing that these accounts are locked and going to stay that way. You could put other text in the password field to suit your needs; for instance, a helpdesk ticket number or a date.
When a user changes his or her password, the system creates a backup copy of the shadow file, called /etc/oshadow. This also occurs if root changes a user's password.
Exam Notes
Think About It . . .
Why are encrypted passwords found in /etc/shadow and not in /etc/passwd?
For many commands (ps, ls, etc.) to work properly, /etc/passwd must be world readable. Prior to the use of /etc/shadow, all users' encrypted password strings were also publicly readable. This gave people with "password cracking" programs an opportunity to discover other users' passwords. By moving the encrypted password strings to /etc/shadow (which can be read only by root), the ability to access encrypted passwords is eliminated.
First, a bit of history. Older versions of UNIX did not have a shadow file; instead, the encrypted password string was found in the password file, in the second field that is usually filled with an "x" in Solaris. Solaris still supports the encrypted password appearing in the password file, although this is not advisable, since the password file is publicly readable.
Older versions of UNIX with no shadow file also had no password-aging capability.
The Network Information System (NIS) subsystem was designed around the old shadow-less architecture; this explains why NIS has no shadow map, nor does it support password aging.
The Group File
The group file contains a listing of all of the groups on the system, along with each group's numeric groupid and a list of each of the usernames that are secondary members of each group. The location of the group file is /etc/group. The format of the group file is:
These fields are:
groupnamethis is the name of the group.
passwordthis is an optional password for the group.
gidthe unique numerical ID assigned to the group. The maximum value for GID is 2147483647, but administrators are urged to use values less than 60,000 to ensure compatibility with all of the tools that are used to manage accounts or display information that includes group names.
user-lista comma-separated list of users allowed in the group. These groups are users' secondary group IDs.
A sample group file follows.
root::0:root other::1: bin::2:root,bin,daemon sys::3:root,bin,sys,adm adm::4:root,adm,daemon uucp::5:root,uucp mail::6:root tty::7:root,tty,adm lp::8:root,lp,adm nuucp::9:root,nuucp staff:GSSUYVrJ8EKyA:10:pete daemon::12:root,daemon sysadmin::14: nobody::60001: noaccess::60002: nogroup::65534:
Note the password field in the group "staff." Groups can be password protected by putting a password string into the password field. Note, though, that this is a completely manual process; there are no tools provided to put the group password in for you.
Hint: You can take a password string from the shadow file and use the vi editor to splice it into the group file. The group password will be the same as the account password from the shadow entry where you took the password string.
When a group is password protected, anyone who is not a member of the group will be challenged for the group's password when they have entered the newgrp command.
Primary and Secondary Groupids
Each user account has one primary groupidthis is the group defined in the password file. When a user logs on, this is his or her associated groupid.
Each user account also has zero or more secondary groupids. A user's secondary groups are those group entries that include the username in their lists of members.
There are some useful limitations of groupids. For example, each user account can be in no more than 16 groups, and a line in the group file cannot exceed 512 characters (including the newline character).
What happens if you need to add so many members to a group that you exceed the 512-character entry limit? You simply create another duplicate group entrysame name and group numberand list the additional members there.
The primary and secondary groupids directly impact file system access permissions, which is explored fully in Chapter 10.
Exam Notes
Think About It . . .
What would be the effect if a username were added to a group file entry when that group was the user's primary group?
The additional entry would have no effect, since the user is already configured for the primary group membership in the /etc/passwd file.
The Root Account
The root account has special privileges on a system: Root is permitted to read and write every file on a system, regardless of the file's ownership and permission settings. System administrators log in with the root account so that they can perform administrative tasks.
The root account gets its power and privilege from the value of its user number: Root is user number zero, defined in the password file.
Exam Notes
Think About It . . .
What would be the effects of changing an ordinary user's user number to zero? What advantage might there be of putting root's entry at the end of the passwd file (instead of the beginning)?
Changing an ordinary user's user number to zero gives the user root privileges.
One advantage of putting root at the end of the password file is that if an intruder is able to modify the password file to give another user root privilege (see the first question here), then output from commands such as ls and ps would show that other user as the owner of root processes and files.

Martin Luther King would have celebrated his 83rdbirthday last Saturday had he not been cut down in the prime of his life by an assassin's bullet in 1968.
Our nation has moved forward with giant steps to bridge the racial divide since King first began his non-violent protest against man's inhumanity to man.
Judging people and treating people by the color of their skin is past history as a result of his tremendous efforts for which he gave his life during one of the most turbulent eras in the nation's history.
We are today a nation that celebrates personal freedom. We are a nation today largely absent of racial segregation such as that which divided the nation by color for so many hundreds of years.
We are not absolutely one nation, under God with liberty and justice for all – but we are always coming closer to that.
On the occasion of his 83rdbirthday, we respectfully recall the great and powerful work of Martin Luther King and the sacrifice he made to bring freedom and equality to black people.
America today is a far better place than when King was born 83 years ago.
