TMJ or Migraine Headache?
Questions: Audrey from Danversport: My friend says she thinks my headaches are not migraines, she thinks they are from something she calls TMJ. My headaches are so intense I have to lie down and take some Percocets my husband got when he had his back pain and they barely help. She says it's TMJ because it's in the area of my temple and it's only on the left. Is there anything that can help?
A: The temporo-mandibular joint is where the jaw bone (the mandible) hinges to the skull (temporal bone). We call it TMJ for short and this joint can cause headache pain if it doesn't move properly or if some of the muscles that attach to the TMJ develop trigger points.
The intensity of the pain can be just as intense as a migraine headache. However, most people who suffering a TMJ caused headache don't see auras or feel as sensitive to light as a person who suffering migraine headache pain.
People who had braces as children are more prone to TMJ pain as are people who grind their teeth.
Chiropractic adjustments can help TMJ pain as well muscle work. I have also even seen TMJ headaches helped by straightening out a bad foot problem using orthotics and special exercises.
Percocets are an opioid drug that can be dangerous while doing nothing to promote healing or improvement of the underlying situation that caused your headache symptoms. Get healthy with care that finds the cause of your pain rather than merely masking the symptoms using all natural, drug-free chiropractic care.
Good Beginner Exercises?
Questions: Theresa from West Peabody: Now that my kids are old enough to go to school I want to start to get back in shape, but I don't have the money to go to aerobics classes. What do you recommend for someone who hasn't exercised in a few years?
A: You don't have to spend money or take the time to drive to aerobics class to get yourself to be healthier and more fit. Aerobic exercise really means anything that causes you to breathe hard. And that just means that you are doing something that makes you have to breathe through your mouth and not just through your nose. You could walk up a bunch of hills, or dance, run or bicycle or climb up and down stairs.
We also recommend the Foundation Training exercise for any fitness program because it helps strengthen muscles that need to be stronger and stretch muscles that are too tight. You can see some of the Foundation Training exercises at this URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOgxWp0WyiI
A better way to lose weight than skipping meals
Questions: Al from Middleton: I've been told I need to lose weight, so why shouldn't I skip a meal if I want to? I think that will help me lose weight quicker. Sometimes I skip lunch when I am at work because it gets so busy in the middle of the day, isn't that better than skipping breakfast?
A: The main thing that helps us lose weight is to avoid rapid swings in our blood sugar level. Eating carbohydrates is our worst enemy in that respect.
The rapid rise of your blood sugar when you eat carbs makes your pancreas put out insulin to drive it back down; but insulin also causes us to store fat.
Many people think that skipping a meal will help but it does not help you at all; because when our blood sugar falls below a certain level it makes our adrenal gland put out a hormone called cortisol which raises our blood sugar level back up. But cortisol causes us to break down muscle in order to raise our blood sugar.
So, skipping meals is not wise or healthy and won't help you lose weight. You will just get weaker. Eat every 3-4 hours, don't skip a meal, and use the glycemic index chart so that you can choose foods with a low glycemic index for better weight loss. We have included a glycemic index chart in this newsletter for your convenience.
What is a glycemic index?
Different carbohydrates raise your blood sugar at different rates. The faster something raises your blood sugar level the worse it is for you. Raising your blood sugar level too quickly strains your pancreas into putting out too much insulin. When insulin rushes into your bloodstream it causes many ill effects throughout your body. The measure of this effect is called the glycemic index. Numbers above 30 are not healthy foods for a person trying to lose weight to stay healthy.
High glycemic index foods cause a rapid high output of insulin. The most immediate ill effect is to drive your blood sugar level back down too quickly, to a lower than optimum level. This low blood sugar level then requires your adrenal gland to bring the blood sugar level back up once again by releasing cortisol. The hormone cortisol raises your blood sugar level once again by breaking down your muscle tissue. Cortisol will also do this if you do not eat healthy. You cannot be healthy or lose weight long term without keeping your carbohydrate intake down and making sure that you have protein each time you eat.
Here is a simple break-down of what works best to keep your energy levels steady and to lose or maintain your weight: Low glycemic carbohydrates (10-15%) with protein (30-35%) and fat (50-55%)

'Nitro' glistening
After landing on top of the stunt-jump world (i.e. upright) in July during his impressive daredevil salute to Evel Knievel, stunt biker/motorsports super-stud Travis Pastrana is bringing Nitro Circus, the 15-year-old "action sports collective" he co-founded, to town in a new resident production at Bally's next spring.
Taking over the theater that once housed the iconic, showgirl-a-whirl "Jubilee" — to be renamed the Nitro Circus Theater — the production is billed as featuring "the world's most talented action sports athletes performing spectacular feats and unbelievable stunts in a fully-choreographed, adrenaline-charged event." Expect the promotion engine to rev up when tickets go on sale in October.

Caraway is also used in veterinary medicine, but for animals the herb (Herba carvi) is a more popular remedy than the fruit. It contains a significant amount of essential oil and flavonoids. The decoction of the fruit and herb is used to cure gastrointestinal disorders like flatulence, indigestion, stomach aches and gripes. It promotes gastric secretion and stimulates appetite.
Caraway, like in humans, stimulates lactation in other mammals. Pulverised fruits or dry caraway herb are served mixed together with fodder to cows, mares in foal and other animals. Caraway as a galactagogue may also be of great importance for milk production. Voloshchuk et al. (1985) reported the significant increase of milk secretion in cows fed on pasture grounds enriched with caraway plants. The fat content in milk was lower in comparison with produced by cows fed on pastures without caraway.
The decoction from fruits or pulverised fruits are good remedies for rabbits, piglets and other animals against verminous disease. Gadzhiev and Eminov (1986) reported the effectiveness of caraway extract against trichostrongyle larvae in rams.
Caraway in veterinary medicine is also a remedy for external use. An ointment made from pulverised fruits mixed with vaseline is recommended against scabs, manges, mycosis and other dermal diseases. It may also be used to heal infected injuries or burns.

Lewis Hamilton topped the times in qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix with a last-gasp effort that edged him ahead of Force India's Adrian Sutil.
Seconds before Hamilton's time the Force India driver posted the fastest time of 1:24.261 on his final run, despite an error on the first Lesmo.
"It is a great moment, a great deal," said Sutil. "The whole weekend was a big success already. We did good work, and the car is amazing, really quick."
"It's unbelievable, it is so good for the team especially after the Spa success."
"We continued it here and just being competitive, it is such a different feeling in the car right now. You know you have a chance."
"It's a good feeling like the racing driver is back in me. I enjoyed every single moment."
Former Force India driver and Spa pole sitter Giancarlo Fisichella had a low-key start to his Ferrari career after he failed to make it past Q2
Hamilton was surprised at the pace of the McLaren cars and delighted to take the top spot alongside ex-F3 team-mate Sutil.
"It was very close qualifying session and very happy to see Adrian up here," said Hamilton. "It has probably not been since F3 that we were in a press conference together and qualifying together.
"They [Force India] are incredibly fast and competitive, but our team did a great job this weekend. I was able to put the lap together. It's such a great feeling to put that lap together, the public have to imagine what it is like, it is the most exciting exhilarating thing.
Another driver who was positive after qualifying was championship leader Jenson Button,"I'm happy," he said.
"All weekend I've been pretty happy with the car, and it got better in qualifying. It went well on both high fuel and low fuel."
"I think we can go well from there [sixth]. My team-mate slightly pipped me, by 15 hundredths, which is a pain, but we're in a good position.
"I want to go out there and win this race. We've done the best strategy not to just score points but to do the best job we can this weekend. I think our strategy is good and I'm looking forward to it."
Both BMW drivers experienced engine problems and pulled out of qualifying with in minutes of each other and BMW boss Mario Theissen explained "As far as we can see from the data they both had the same problem, the two engines were new, therefore the reason cannot be too much mileage or too high stress. A thorough analysis will only be possible once we have dismantled the engines.
"Of course, this has a negative effect on our race prospects. We expected good grid positions on this track. Obviously the failures also influence our engine planning for the remaining races of the season."

The farmstead is a place where many electric hand and power tools are used to make farming easier. Unfortunately, these wonderful aides can also be dangerous to those using them and those in proximity if used improperly.
All tools pose some amount of danger but electric hand tools have the added danger of speed, power, and electrical currents that can shock and even kill when not used properly.
Teaching proper use of hand tools and the precautions that are necessary for their safe use is critical for youth. Proper use of hammers, screwdrivers, and shovels teach children respect before they move on to using potentially more dangerous items like power tools.
Avoid accidents and health problems by:
• Picking the right tool for the job.
• Replacing or repair damaged tools.
• Making sure cords are in good repair when using electrical tools.
• Wearing personal protective equipment such as ear plugs, dust masks, and goggles.
• Making sure all shields are in good shape to protect from flying debris and moving parts.
• Making sure the area around tools is kept free from clutter to prevent falls.
Remember tools can be a real help when working on the farm. They can also be very harmful if not used with respect. Train young workers to do the same.

The Ford EcoSport was the vehicle that pretty much created the compact SUV segment in India, when it was launched in 2013. While it has seen a number of special editions and a mild facelift in the past, it is now that Ford India has introduced the new refreshed model of the EcoSport, with the biggest update being the addition of a new petrol power plant. The EcoSport had basked in its exclusivity for a while, before other manufacturers came hard with competing products. With the EcoSport 2017, will Ford be able to drive back the numbers? Let's find out…
The EcoSport has been one of Ford India's top performers, having sold over 200,000 units in India alone. India is one of the four manufacturing hubs for the production of the compact SUV, which is sold in over 50 markets across the globe. When launched in India, the Ford EcoSport had localisation content of about 60 %, which has now grown to over 85 %. Efforts are on to take the localisation level to over 90 % in the future, says Ford, confirming that India will continue to remain a major hub in manufacturing the EcoSport, as well as its other models.
During the drive of the refreshed EcoSport, we got to experience both the new three-cylinder petrol engine variant, as well as the existing diesel power plant. All exterior and interior features are identical in both variants, except the powertrains. Ford claims that the refreshed new EcoSport has over 1,600 new parts from its earlier model, but in this feature, we look at the most prominent and key updates to the segment-starter compact SUV.
The biggest highlight of the new Ford EcoSport is the new 1,497 cc, in-line three-cylinder, naturally aspirated, Twin independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT), 'Dragon' petrol engine, and the new six-speed automatic transmission. The petrol engine delivers maximum power of 121 hp at 6,500 rpm, along with peak torque of 150 Nm at 4,500 rpm. The engine is said to have been designed to improve performance and efficiency, while reducing size, weight and friction. This engine is offered with a five-speed manual transmission, as well as a new six-speed conventional torque-converter automatic transmission. The manual transmission version is said to offer fuel efficiency of 17 km/l, while the automatic variant claims to offer 14.8 km/l. India is the first country from where Ford is manufacturing and supplying this new Dragon petrol engine.
The new automatic transmission paired with the petrol engine is claimed to offer low NVH levels achieved through high powertrain bending frequency, with grader and softer gear shifts. This transmission also features a sport mode that has been offered with optimised calibration, along with steering-mounted paddle shifters. The Ti-VCT system in the new petrol engine allows each intake and exhaust cam to function independently of each other, as engine operating conditions change. It offers variable independent phasing for intake and exhaust, with improvements to volumetric efficiency at full load, claimed Ford.
The technology also provides for combustion stability at idle rpm and better fuel economy at partial loads. Ti-VCT is also claimed to deliver faster throttle response and enhanced fuel economy. Higher efficiency of this engine is also credited to features including exhaust manifold integrated into the cylinder head; double-stage variable oil pump operating at lower speeds; offset crankshaft and individual ignition coil-on-plug system.
The other engine option is the existing and proven 1,498 cc, in-line four-cylinder, turbocharged, TDCi diesel unit. This motor delivers 99 hp of power at 3,750 rpm, along with 205 Nm of torque available from 1,750 to 3,250 rpm. The diesel variant will be offered only with the five-speed manual transmission. This diesel engine is claimed to offer a fuel economy figure of 23 km/l.
Exterior looks or styling emerged as one of the most important reason for purchasing a vehicle, as per Ford's extensive customer research. In keeping with this information, Ford India has made the biggest change to the exterior of the new EcoSport with a completely-redesigned front facia. The compact SUV now features a single bigger trapezoidal grill that is moved right up to the bonnet, with the Ford symbol bang in the middle, making it unmistakeably Ford with a stronger stance. The front also comes with a completely new set of projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights (DRL), along with larger fog lamps that have the indicators integrated into them. The EcoSport also has a new front bumper that is sharper than before, but retains the original design cues of the older model, with the multi-layered material layout. There is also an opening in the lower part of the bumper to fulfil the air requirements of the radiator and intercooler.
When you look at the exterior of the refreshed EcoSport, the only other visible change are the new alloy wheels, which on closer inspection feature a new design and are larger in size than before. The new alloy wheels for the top-end Titanium+ variant alone are 17-inch in diameter, with a simple, yet interesting 10-spoke design. While the alloy wheels will be offered in plain silver colour, Ford could offer the EcoSport at a later stage in limited or special edition versions with dual-tone versions of the wheels. The design of the alloy wheels sure seem to look like ones that would be very smart in a dual finish of black and brushed chrome.
The side profile, as well as the rear view of the new EcoSport, remains unchanged, with the only exception being the new alloy wheels. However, from the side, the larger 17-inch wheels fill out the wheel wells appropriately, continuing to give the country's first compact SUV a solid stance and appearance. A design feature that also continues to build on the EcoSport's SUV character is the retention of the spare wheel mounted on the rear door. This feature is sure to go down well with a lot of buyers in this segment, especially since it is the only vehicle in its segment to offer a tailgate-mounted spare wheel.
There is quite a bit of change inside the new EcoSport, with the most obvious element being the new layout of the dashboard design that has an all-black colour theme, with very few silver accents. Within the dashboard, the highlight is the new floating 8-inch capacitive touchscreen that will be offered as part of the infotainment system on the Titanium and Titanium+ variants. The automatic climate control switches and AC vents are also completely re-designed, as are the instrument cluster and steering wheel. The EcoSport is also equipped with new seats to offer better comfort and bolstering, as well as new leather upholstery, and is also offered with multi-colour foot well ambient lighting.
The brand-new infotainment system comes with Ford's SYNC 3 connectivity system that offers hands-free operation with voice control. The new system offers fluid operations with seamless touch integration and simple access to all options within the system. The screen is placed in the line of sight of the driver, with a high regard to ergonomics in terms of the reach for easy access.
The new infotainment system offers an interface that is very similar to that of a smartphone, while supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone connectivity. The system itself does not offer navigation, but that can be accessed via phone integration. This infotainment system can be controlled only through touch, and some users may feel that the absence of a rotary dial control would make it tough to use, when the vehicle is being driven. The music system itself comes with six speakers, as well as audio playback with AM/FM, MP3, Aux-In and USB through two slots. Sound quality from the speakers is very good, with the ability to adjust the area of focus of the sound (front, rear, or towards any particular seat) being a smart touch.
The dashboard is well-appointed, with all the elements offering a good balance between ease-of-use and practicality. The AC vents are now placed more conventionally, thus offering better throw of air around the vehicle, which is especially important since the new EcoSport continues to come without rear AC vents. The company claims its automatic climate control has been designed to cut temperature from 50-25° C in just 15 minutes, and while we didn't experience 50° C, the climate control seemed to work well.
While all these new elements seem to add to the overall interior look and feel of the EcoSport, the redesigned instrument cluster seems to have become much simpler to look at, in terms of competitors in the segment, as well from that of the previous version. No doubt it is a cluster that offers all the necessary information to the driver about the vehicle in a clear format, but its overall design could have been made more exciting.
The steering wheel in the new EcoSport offers just the right amount of grip at various pressure points for all types of drivers, and its four-way adjustment for reach and angle ensure drivers of all sizes can find their optimal driving position. The steering features various controls for the audio, cruise control and multi-information display on the centre console, which have been placed in a non-obstructive fashion.
The EcoSport continues to offer a number of storage spaces around the car, with a cooled box under the front arm rest. The boot of the vehicle offers 352 l of space, which can be expanded to 1,178 l, with the rear seats folded down. Additionally, a smart feature in the boot is that of a small hidden compartment that can be created by sliding the floorboard into a slot on the back of the rear seat. This compartment can then be used to conceal valuables like laptops or similarly-shaped objects.
The new seats in the EcoSport seem to be on the softer side, with a high level of bolstering in the front to keep the driver and passenger in place at all times. The rear seats offer decent amount space, with under-thigh support being an area of lower rating, especially for taller passengers. The rear seat is best-suited to accommodate two adults only, with the centre seat having disadvantages in the form of the protruding front armrest, as well as harder back due to the enclosed centre armrest. When filled with four passengers, the EcoSport would be a good place to be on journeys short or long.
The new Ford EcoSport continues to be high on safety with standard equipment including dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, engine immobiliser and emergency brake light flashing. The top-end variant will get six airbags, in addition to features like rear-view camera, Traction Control System, Hill-Launch Assist, Cruise Control, Emergency Brake Assist, automatic headlamps and rain-sensing wipers. In terms of safety during a collision, the door panels have been designed to absorb and minimise transferring the effects of outside impact into the cabin. Likewise, the steering column has been designed to absorb majority of the frontal impact, making the cabin a very safe place.
We began our drive with the petrol variant of the EcoSport, with the new three-cylinder engine mated to the six-speed automatic transmission. The new engine does sound like a typical three-cylinder unit, but is highly-refined, when compared to other three-cylinder engine in general. Since the engine is naturally-aspirated, it has power and torque to offer in a very linear manner. The automatic transmission is quite supportive of the engine, and works along with it to offer a very smooth drive, when driven in the drive mode with a light foot. There is a very small lag, when the transmission shifts into higher gears, but that is hardly felt when driving in city conditions. It is this state of tune that seems to have helped Ford achieve an overall increase in fuel efficiency and reduction in emissions to the tune of 7 % in the new EcoSport petrol. The smooth ride of the three-cylinder petrol engine can be attributed to technologies like the balancer shaft being supported by hydrodynamic bearings, timing belt-in-oil primary drive system and an acoustic isolation system.
However, this sedate nature of the engine and transmission changes slightly, when the gear stick is pushed into sports mode. The transmission holds gears longer through the rev band to enable a more dynamic drive. However, the lag in upshifting via the paddle shifters increases as the vehicle is pushed further in this mode. Downshifts are much quicker, when the paddle shifter is used, making the drive around Goan ghats – our drive location – a very fun affair, which Ford vehicles are generally known for. The engine does get noisy when it surpasses the 2,500 rpm mark, spilling noise into the cabin. However, in our view this is a sound without harshness or vibrations, making one enjoy the drive and sometimes push the vehicle through a gear a bit longer. There is ample power in the engine to carry the SUV quite easily to triple digit speeds, but power seems to taper off somewhere around the 5,500 rpm mark.
The diesel engine is the same unit carried unchanged from the previous generation EcoSport, and it is one that definitely doesn't disappoint. The power delivery of this turbocharged power plant is extremely linear, meaning low-speed stop-and-go driving on city roads would not be a hassle. This is further enhanced by the light clutch that doesn't cause much strain, even when driven in conditions that demand frequent gear changes.
While Ford has not made any official claims to the state of tune of the suspension system, it felt as though the suspension had been softened up a bit. Even though we were driving on 17-inch wheels with 50 profile tyres, the ride never seemed hard or firm, which is generally the case with large diameter wheels with low profile tyres. The tyres were of 205 section width, which in fact provided additional grip, helping in keeping the SUV planted to the road even when being pushed hard around bends. The steering, while feeling light without much feedback of the road, was precise and aided in driving the new EcoSport more enthusiastically. One also has to credit the traction control system in the vehicle for quietly performing its duty, although in a very minimalistic manner, to provide a good level of grip while driving.
The new Ford EcoSport continues to be a true driver's vehicle. Both the engines offer great driveability, with varied focus on the ultimate driving patterns of owners. The EcoSport is also one of the most feature-filled vehicles in its segment, in terms of technologies concerning powertrains, infotainment and connectivity, as well as safety and convenience. These same factors could, however, lead to the EcoSport being priced at a premium over its competitors. Having said that, if Ford India manages to find the right price for the EcoSport, it sure will grab the customers' mind space all over again. Ford is expected to launch the new refreshed EcoSport later this month.

Musk: Ride Our Super Loop For $1
Musk: Ride Our Super Loop For $1
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk on Thursday showed off his concept for the Loop, a high-speed underground public transportation system that will carry up to 16 people and travel at 150 miles per hour.
At the Boring Company Information Session, Musk and project leader Steve Davis provided details of the vast, underground mass transit tunnels that the Boring Co. plans to build beneath Los Angeles. The underground network is expected to help alleviate traffic problems in large cities.
Boring Co. is an infrastructure and tunnel construction company founded in 2016 by Musk, who is also the chief executive officer of SpaceX and Telsa Inc. (TSLA).
According to Musk, the Loop will carry people from downtown Los Angeles to the city's international airport, a distance of eleven miles, in just eight minutes. His projected fare for the Loop system is only $1 per person.
In the Loop transportation system, passengers will be transported on autonomous electric skates traveling at 125 to 150 miles per hour. Electric skates will carry between 8 and 16 passengers in mass transit, or a single passenger vehicle.
Musk also revealed that the Loop will require 2.7 miles of tunnel running north to south parallel to the Interstate 405 freeway. It will be privately funded.
An hour before the event began, Musk retweeted a tweet from Metro Los Angeles that said it is coordinating with Boring Co. on its test.
"They will coordinate with us as they move ahead with their proof of concept tunnel under Sepulveda Boulevard to ensure it doesn't interfere with our Sepulveda Transit Corridor rail project. We'll be partners moving forward," Metro Los Angeles said in its tweet.

In part 1 of the article, which you can read by clicking here; Laws in IPC that could do with Amendment [Part-II/II]; I discussed two such laws which could fare better with some changes made to them. Listed below are three such more laws in the Indian Penal Code, which could do with a few alterations, or absolute state of non-existence in my opinion. As we move down this list, it would seem apparent to note that the laws mentioned herewith become tougher to deal with as one ponders over their scope of advancement or change in the current Indian socio-politico state of affairs.
iii) Defamation
It is defined as an act of injuring the reputation of someone. When a person commits such an act in writing, it would be defamatory libel. When defamatory things are spoken or verbal, it would amount to slander. The offence of defamation as described in the Indian Penal Code, however, incorporates further elements;
Section 499: The Indian Penal Code, 1860
Whoever, by words either spoken or intended to be read, or by signs or by visible representations, makes or publishes any imputation concerning any person intending to harm, or knowing or having reason to believe that such imputation will harm, the reputation of such person, is said, except in the cases hereinafter expected, to defame that person.
The 9 exceptions to this offence require either one of the two constituents: That the imputation made by the accused was in good faith, or that the imputation made was true. However, mere truth of the statement in question is not sufficient to safeguard a person from being held criminally liable.
Akin to the offence of sedition, this section falls within the exceptions to the fundamental right of freedom and speech and expression; (given under Article 19(2) of the Indian Constitution.) However, even the Supreme Court has observed in numerous cases that the constitutional validity of criminal defamation yet remains a question with considerable scope of debate. This is because, as aforementioned, even when a statement is true, if it's not required for the 'public good', a person can still be held liable for criminal defamation and be sentenced to imprisonment and/or fine.
Whether or not a statement is for the good of the public is a question of fact depending solely upon how the court deems it. This hinders a potential amount of facts from surfacing for many are unwilling to risk testing what court discretion amounts to as to the notion of 'public good.' Moreover, even a jest or an ironical remark can amount to defamation. For instance, if A says, 'B is an honest man, he would never steal C's car," to have it believed by others that B in fact stole C's car, A could be held liable under section 500.
MY TAKE: Article 19(2) of the Indian Constitution clarifies that exercise of the right conferred by article 19(1) can be restricted only up to a reasonable extent. Defamation as expounded under section 499 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code, in my opinion, is not in conformity with principles that would fairly go about determining the degree of reasonable restriction. Thus, defamation should be decriminalized and its two sections repealed. Moreover, a civil suit for defamation can also be filed, thus common law already equips one with legal remedy for injury caused to one's reputation. Also, in my opinion, the statement or imputation must be established to be false in order to attract liability, as is the case in the UK.
iv) Sedition
Sedition, in simple terms, means any conduct or language which is capable of inciting people to rebel against their government. However, the definition of it given in the Indian Penal Code is seemingly broader.
Section 124A: The Indian Penal Code, 1860
Whoever, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs, or by visible representation, or otherwise, brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards, the Government established by law in India, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, to which fine may be added, or with imprisonment which may extend to three years, to which fine may be added, or with fine.
The concept of disaffection has been touched upon under explanation 1, interpreted as disloyalty and feelings of enmity, used in contrast to the term 'disapprobation' used in explanation 2 and 3, which means 'mere disapproval.'
Section 124A: The Indian Penal Code, 1860
Explanation 2- Comments expressing disapprobation of the measures of the Government with a view to obtain their alteration by lawful means, without exciting or attempting to excite hatred, contempt or disaffection, do not constitute an offence under this section.
Explanation 3-Comments expressing disapprobation of the administrative or other action of the Government without exciting or attempting to excite hatred, contempt or disaffection, do not constitute an offence under this section.
The proponents of this section are perhaps as high as those who oppose sedition having the nature of an offence. However, though this fine line of difference (between disaffection and disapprobation), added by the 1891 amendment, so the section roughly falls in queue with the (later constitutional) right of freedom and speech and expression, sufficiently satisfies the staunch 'nationalists' as to the section's validity, majority agrees that this is but another highly misused provision mostly enacted to aid the personal interests of those who are in power.
Thus some are of the view that strict adherence of the provisions, or perhaps a more minute interpretation is likely to fix the problem, but sedition cannot be done away with altogether.
'The law of Sedition is absolutely necessary. If democracy has to survive, then there should be some restrictions on the people talking against the country. No country can ever compromise on its integrity'.- N. Santosh Hegde, the former Justice of the Supreme Court and former Solicitor General, making a comment on the JNU Sedition Case in 2016.
Others, on the contrary, are of the opinion that it should be completely scrapped, and find it an affront to the notion of democracy itself. Sedition was in fact introduced by the British at the time to keep the Indian population under control and avoid them from protesting against the Imperial rule. (Note that the provision shields against seditious acts with regard to the 'Government established by law in India' and not remarks against India itself.) This should be noted in purview of the overall rights that Indian citizens used to possess back then.
India, soon after its independence, was established as a democratic republic, not as an authoritarian government. Disagreement and conflict are the very foundation of what constitutes democracy. 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people' is meant to reiterate the idea that the supreme power vests with the nation's citizens, not that the Government stands superior to its people. Every learned opinion counts, and it's only by a healthy competition of ideas; by a democracy constantly transitioning and reinventing itself, that the latter can truly prosper.
Consider the case of Aseem Trivedi, who was slapped with sedition charges and sentenced to jail merely for drawing cartoons to satirise widespread corruption among the politically elite in India.
MY TAKE: It would perhaps be unwise to repeal the law altogether, if it already isn't seemingly impossible at this stage.
Simply put, people are unpredictable. A general comment on the state of affairs could lead to a constructive discussion, or it could lead to commotion and protests. Perhaps, the ambit of section 124A could be restricted to utterance or writing of words, capable of inciting violence, that relate explicitly to the overthrowing of the government (in other words, would be 'treasonous' and not merely marked by hate.) Or perhaps, the ambit of section 121 under the Indian Penal Code could be widened to incorporate this suggested form of seditious speech. However, in my opinion, the explanations to section 124A, in their present language, are too ambiguous to serve this goal.
The United Kingdom has a law essentially similar to the above suggestion, only it's termed as treason. Section 3 of the Treason Felony Act, 1848 lists the 'advocating of the abolition of the monarchy by any means' (printing, writing etc,) as a felony; (Though this hasn't been deployed since 1879.) The offence of seditious libel, on the other hand, was repealed in the UK in 2009.
The United States has restricted treason to the acts of waging war against the government and/or aiding others for the said purpose, but does not recognize seditious speech as an offence unless it indicates 'immediate threat.' Thus, sedition laws, though retained by developed nations, are barely put to use, and very narrowly construed. A slender, more precise interpretation of sedition in India as well may help in preventing misuse of it.
v) Blasphemy
Section 295A: The Indian Penal Code, 1860
Whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of any class of citizens of India, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs or by visible representations or otherwise, insults or attempts to insult the religion or the religious beliefs of that class, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both.
Indeed the term 'blasphemy' hasn't been used in the Indian Penal Code, which is essentially the act of saying things against God or religion that may be offensive to some. This section was, in fact, enacted by the British rulers after 1929's case of Rangila Rasul's publisher (unnamed and murdered; acquitted then for there existed no law against insult to religion,) who wrote this controversial book during the 1920's, inquiring into the sex life of Prophet Mohd.
In 1957, the constitutional validity of this section was upheld by a 5-judge bench in the Supreme Court case Ramji Lal Modi v State of UP, reinstated again in the 1960 case Superintendent, Central Prison, Fatehgarh v Ram Manohar Lohia, in which it was held that in order to attract liability as per the constituents of this section, there would have to be a proximate connection between the 'blasphemous speech/writing material' and 'public disorder,' and that such a connection should not be far-fetched. The court in Arup Bhuyan v State of Assam in 2011, however, held that only speech that amounted to 'incitement to imminent lawless action' would be punished. Not only does this uproot the section's constitutional foundation set forth in Ramji Lal Modi's case but makes possible for the terms and scope of this section to be interpreted in an even broader light, thus providing with a wider platform for this provision's exploitation. Moreover, under no interpretation can it be assuredly said that intentional insult to religion or religious feelings is necessarily equivalent to 'incitement'.
Consider the case of TV actor and comedian Kiku Sharda, who merely mimicked a scene from a film starring Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh and was slapped with charges under section 295A for outraging the 'religious feelings' of his followers. Or the case of Wendy Doniger, a renowned book publisher and author of 'The Hindu's-An Alternative History', against whom a case under 295A was filed for hurting religious sentiments.
MY TAKE: Even honest attempts at fighting superstition and prejudices can wind up as hugely detrimental to those who are merely intellectually or academically inclined. To criticize philosophies and existing beliefs is but an essential stepping stone towards further prosperity and growth of the nation. In the United States, many states have the law against blasphemy invalidated as it is in direct violation of the First Amendment to the US Constitution.
England and Wales had blasphemy laws repealed back in 2008. 'The little-used laws served no useful purpose, while allowing religious groups to try to censor artists," it was put forth by several prominent public figures in light of the first proposal to have the laws lifted in the UK.
If ideas or notions are let through without being challenged, the political and ideological realms are but going to remain resolutely wrought up with each other. India shall continue to remain weighed down with this oppressive system of subduing free thought and quenching true thirst for knowledge. In my opinion, this section should entirely be removed.

For the weather that effects crops(harvest).............turning much drier in 2 days.
Hurricane Michael:
Export sales for beans were huge last week:
Soybeans 10 year charts below.
Low for SX last month was 812.25 but we've bounced back! Current price is $872, 60c off the lows but $1.88 off the $10.60 highs at the end of May. Did we make an early season low?
Harvest pressure and negative seasonals have been offset by wet weather in the forecast for the past week. A pattern change to drier weather will kick in at mid week. Tariff news is an extreme wild card.
Soybeans: Wider perspective: Currently still close to 10 year lows !!!!!
Charts November contract.
Soybeans 3 months below......bottom in???
Soybeans 1 year chart below
Soybeans 5 years below
Soybeans10years-Wow, look at that high from the drought of 2012...and demand, Currently, we are still just below the 10 year lows!
Corn 10 year charts
CZ made new lows on September 18th at 342.5 but has bounced back to 368.5. Now 26c off the lows but 60c off the late May highs. Wet weather is slowing down the harvest in the WCB and helped provide price support the last week. More rain early this week........then it dries out.
Lows are likely in.
Corn historical perspective:

Workers are removing trees, foliage and other items lining South Florida's canal banks — concerned a hurricane could knock them into the water and pose a flood hazard.
Hurricane season began June 1. And the Lake Worth Drainage District, which manages 500 miles of canals across Palm Beach County, is removing trees and woods or anything else that could topple into waterways. There are 29 projects underway in several cities from Boca Raton to West Palm Beach to clear canal banks.
Some homeowners whose backyards overlook the canals have been surprised by the extent of work done. The district has sent out notification letters, but some residents say they were fond of the trees and vegetation. They considered them scenic, and it also blocked public access to their backyards.
Stacy Sipple, a 46-year Boca Raton resident, didn't expect trees to be removed along Palmetto Park Road east of the I-95 ramps. The district notified Sipple it would be clearing the banks, but all it did was trim in the past, she said. "I came home from work and all of it was missing," just short of her own home, she said.
With at least 20 canals wending their way through Boca Raton and West Boca, the Lake Worth Drainage District has miles of water to manage here daily, not to mention all 200 square miles covered in south Palm Beach County.
In 2015, the Lake Worth Drainage District completed an inventory of its canals and identified about 180 miles of district-owned land that was "encumbered with nuisance vegetation and other encroachments," said Rosemary Rayman, in charge of the district's public information and outreach.
The district has cleared about 55 miles of canals so far, removing anything encroaching on district-owned land. Cities "could be impacted if a nearby drainage canal is blocked by a fallen tree or debris," Rayman said.
Some homeowners don't realize strips of land along the canal fronts don't belong to them, she added. "Most of the time, we work with the homeowners if they're asking for additional time to comply," she said of residents contesting the removal of a fence, part of a home or even a swimming pool that's on district property.
The district estimates about 155 Boca Raton residents, such as Sipple, are directly impacted by projects along the L-48, L-49 and L-50 canals in the city. In Delray Beach, projects are planned on the E-4, L-34, L-35 and L37 canals with 100 properties impacted, Rayman said.
Another water management district started a canal bank clearing project in south Boca that extends into Deerfield Beach. The C-15 canal project will end in a month, said Randy Smith, spokesman for the South Florida Water Management District. No other Broward projects are planned by the district, he said.
In Boca Raton, Sipple notified the city, which worked with the Lake Worth Drainage District to help save some palm trees.
"On this project, after a walk-through with the city, the district agreed to allow some sabal and cabbage palms to remain, as well as a couple of oak trees," Rayman said.
Boca residents have been contacting the city, and "we take their concerns very seriously," said Chrissy Gibson, city spokeswoman. "We have an interest in preserving the aesthetics and character of neighborhoods, we share their environmental and conservation concerns."
"We've now gone to bat for residents along Royal Palm Road," Mayor Scott Singer said.
Sipple was also visited by Lake Sabal Palm residents Mike and Jane Jurus. The couple, as well as resident Karen Krumholtz, have pushed against the canal-bank clearing along their community's private lake. The Juruses are among homeowners who have hired a lawyer to dispute the claim that the district owns lakefront property.
"We moved here in 2001, and they've never been here before," Jane Jurus said, showing the district's ribbon marking the disputed property line on their lakefront backyard. "They're slicing to 10 feet outside our bedroom window."
There's a fee and procedure for making a claim with the Lake Worth Drainage District. For details, call 561-498-5363.

The competitive effects of telecommunications transactions and the related impact that they have on economic growth and employment are influenced by the regulatory environment that governs the sector. In South Africa, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) is responsible for implementing and enforcing ex ante regulation, while the Competition Commission's role is to identify and remedy anti-competitive behaviour. In this paper it is shown that a lack of clarity about the joint jurisdiction of ICASA and the Competition Commission has created an uncertain regulatory environment with high costs to the South African economy.

Fresh Nissan electric concept car to be the brand's Tokyo star, hinting at a new coupe-shaped SUV
Nissan looks poised to reveal a surprise SUV concept at this week's Tokyo Motor Show, and has now teased its latest creation on video ahead of the show's press day kicking off on Wednesday.
Following on from a snapshot taken by Auto Express editor-at-large James Batchelor, the teaser clip shows a polystyrene model of the new concept SUV being created by robots, dropping strong hints about the size and shape of the new crossover.
• Best electric cars on sale right now
There's no hiding the curved, coupe-like roofline of the SUV concept, while a Leaf-style floating roofline could appear, too. A wide front end is defined by square lines stretchig from the headlights to the bottom of the front bumper, and a trademark four-sided grille similar to the one seen on the new Leaf is also present around the front. In contrast the rear end appears cleaner, boasting horizontal taillights and a long and flat rear window. The car's svelte shape is hinted at in profile in a shadowy teaser towards the end of the video, too.
Electrification is expected to be a major theme for Nissan at the show, with the new Leaf set to be joined by a hot Nismo version with Ford Focus RS rivalling performance. The firm promises in the video description that the new concept will embody the firm's Intelligent Mobility ethos, dropping a strong hint that it'll make use of an electrified powertrain.
We'll find out more about the crossover when the Tokyo Motor Show gets underway in the early hours of Wednesday morning. We'll have a team of roving reporters at the show, too, ready to uncover all the latest industry news and gossip.

What's Donald Trump's Mental Health Really Like? Here's What a Psychiatrist's Evaluation Could Possibly Reveal
It's difficult — though not impossible — for a U.S. president to hide things from the world. We think we know everything about Donald Trump — his go-to McDonald's order, how often he golfs, even what he weighs. His mental state, however, remains a complicated mystery.
Donald Trump's mental health is on everyone's minds — especially the psychiatrists who insist he's unfit to serve. The evaluation his doctor gave him might not reveal enough — but would a more in-depth assessment really change that?
Is Trump healthy? His physician says so
Despite taking a few questionable medications and the public's speculation about Donald Trump's mental health, his doctor says he's fine. Physically, this might be true. Psychologically, no one really knows — not even Dr. Ronny L. Jackson.
Upon releasing the president's annual physical, Dr. Jackson said Trump did undergo a psychiatric test. How legitimate are those results, though?
Next: This is the test Donald Trump took to evaluate his mental well-being.
Was his psychiatric 'evaluation' legitimate?
Dr. Jackson put Trump through something called a cognitive test — something designed to detect mild cognitive impairment as an early intervention tool for dementia.
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment can tell a doctor whether or not a patient is experiencing any signs of cognitive decline. Experts say it isn't an effective tool to evaluate someone's mental health, however. It might not have been exactly the kind of evaluation the president could benefit from.
Next: Psychiatrists warn that Trump might not be mentally well.
Psychiatrists are already making claims
Experts don't all agree on the potential state of Trump's psychological health. Yale psychiatry professor Bandy X. Lee has warned officials that the president has shown signs of "decreasing mental health." Many use his tweets as possible evidence that something isn't right.
Some experts warn it's not appropriate for professionals to comment on the mental health of someone who isn't in their care. But would the president — and the rest of the world — really benefit from a more detailed evaluation?
Next: How do psychiatrists really evaluate patients?
Here's what a true evaluation entails
The same way a doctor might order an X-ray to check for broken bones, a licensed psychiatrist typically performs a series of tests and assessments in order to diagnose — or rule out — a mental health disorder.
Psychiatrists' public concerns about Trump's mental health are problematic because they don't take all aspects of his well-being into account. True evaluations take a person's full medical history into account in addition to one-on-one observations. Interviews, both of the patient and those close to them, are also commonly involved.
Next: Does the president need this kind of assessment?
A legitimate evaluation might reveal a lot
Donald Trump's mental health isn't only America's concern anymore. The whole world is watching — which may or may not be a good thing.
A psychiatrist can't diagnose someone from afar. If the president had a diagnosable disorder, a professional could only diagnose it and offer treatment options after performing the tests and assessments mentioned previously. That could confirm or deny speculation — but could it end his time in office?
Next: What would qualify for a removal from office?
Donald Trump and the 25th Amendment
Could a diagnosable mental health condition provide enough reason to implement involuntary removal for the first time in history? It's not likely.
The 25th Amendment specifies that the vice president and certain members of the president's Cabinet can, when appropriate, recommend the removal of Trump from office. Neither party has shown any sign they'll make this kind of recommendation.
Next: Other presidents have shown signs of illness in the past.
He wouldn't be the first ill president
Even if Trump did turn out to have a diagnosable condition — and we received credible confirmation of that fact — he wouldn't be the first U.S. president to have one. A handful of presidents have served their terms under poor physical health, many of them discretely.
Regardless, the president isn't required to disclose his full medical history to the public. There's a chance we'll never know any of this for sure.

Mike Kilgore: A familiar face in a new role
Here's to thirty-three years! That is the span in which Alan Ek served as Head of the Department of Resources, and what a run it was. Under Alan's leadership, our forestry program was consistently ranked as one of the top undergraduate forestry programs in the nation. He has taught hundreds of students and influenced countless others through his service to the University and the forestry profession. Personally, he has been a great mentor to me. This past June, Alan retired from the University, although you will still find him in Green Hall helping out with instruction and a few research projects. Alan was recognized at this year's Society of American Foresters National Convention for his leadership and dedication to the profession of forestry. Thank you Alan for your years of service.
In June, I was appointed by CFANS Dean Brian Buhr to serve as Interim Head of the Department of Forest Resources. It is a great honor and privilege to be asked to serve in this capacity. I am a three-time graduate of the University of Minnesota's forestry program. Like many forestry students, my decision to pursue studies in natural resources was strongly influenced by my passion for the outdoors, whether it be chasing ruffed grouse, casting a fly on a trout stream, or canoeing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I received my undergraduate degree in Recreation Resource Management in 1982, a Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Forestry in 1984 and 1990, respectively. In 2001, I joined the faculty of the Department of Forest Resources after seventeen years working outside academia. My teaching and research interests focus on the economic, policy, and administration aspects of forests and natural resource management. I teach a natural resources economics course and co-teach the orientation course for all incoming Forest and Natural Resource Management students. From 2008 until this past June, I served as Director of Graduate Studies for the University of Minnesota's Natural Resources Science and Management program. My wife Denise and I live in Lino Lakes, MN. We have three sons, two daughters-in-law, and a two-year-old English Setter who shows promise to be a wonderful upland bird dog.
With the help of our outstanding office staff, the transition to my role as Interim Head these past few months has been a lot smoother than I expected. Let me share with you a few observations I have had while serving in my new leadership role. I am continually amazed at the breadth and depth of our faculty's teaching, research, and outreach efforts. They are engaged in addressing some of the most pressing issues affecting the use, management, and protection of forests. They are truly looked to as the experts in their field, often asked to serve in leadership roles involving the science and management of forests. Additionally, our faculty and staff work closely with a range of stakeholders, including public land managers, private industry, private woodland owners, loggers, and non-governmental organizations, to support their efforts to manage the state's forest resources for important economic and ecological objectives. The Department's close working relationship with a number of external organizations has deep historical roots, serving as a key partner in many of the major forestry initiatives, from local to international, for over a century. These deep connections with stakeholders have been and continue to be a source of pride for us and are what distinguish the Department of Forest Resources from other forestry programs around the county.
I am excited to announce new additions to our faculty and staff. We recently completed a national search for a natural resource and environmental policy faculty position and are pleased that Dr. Forrest Fleischman has been hired to fill this position. We are eager to have Forrest become a member of our faculty later this year. Additionally, we are currently interviewing for a new forest biometrics faculty position, funded in part by the USDA-Forest Service's Northern Research Station. Here is an example of the strong partnership the Department has with this organization. We also hired a new administrative specialist, Kayla Olson, to work in the position previously held by Clara Schreiber. Kayla joined us from the Univeristy of Wisconsin in LaCrosse and is a great addition to our team. We thank Clara for her many years of service and wish her the best in retirement. In October, we hosted University of Minnesota Regent David McMillan at the Cloquet Forestry Center when he requested to see our facilities and several research projects. We are in the initial stages of developing a request to fund improvements at both the Cloquet Forestry Center and Hubachek Wilderness Research Center on Fall Lake near Ely. The funding would be used to expand our teaching and research capabilities. Watch for additional information on these funding initiatives in future newsletters. Please do not hesitate to stop by Green Hall and say "hi" the next time you are around campus. The door is always open.

"Amazing Cover Letter Creator"
Why Free Sample Cover Letters For Customer Service Jobs Aren't Worth
A Dime…
For a frazzled job-seeker trying to land a job fast, a free sample cover letter for a customer service position might sound like just what they need. After all, any cover letters and samples that are free have to be considered, right?
Well, not quite. There are lots of things in this world that are free... old candy wrappers, flu viruses, and worn-out shoes, for example! The old saying you get what you pay for will apply to a free sample cover letter for customer service jobs or any position for that matter.
Free sample cover letters for customer service jobs warning
Bad advice is not only free, but it's everywhere, especially if you are a job hunter. If you are looking for a job, it seems like everywhere you turn there is someone telling you a quicker, easier way to search. The only thing you should be concerned with is whether or not your efforts are EFFECTIVE at landing more quaility job interviews that in turn will lead to more job offers.
Copying a free sample letter for a customer service job might be a quicker and easier way to get something off in the mail to a hiring manager, but it's hardly the most effective way to get your phone ringing with interview requests.
The truth is, 99 times out of 100, the most effective way to get the interview is to write a clear and effective cover letter that GRABS the hiring manager's attention and SELLS you as a candidate. By the way, the other one time out of 100, the most effective way to get the interview is to be related to the employer in some way!
Forget The Free Samples: Why a Great Customer Service Cover Letter
Makes the Difference
E ffective cover letters work their magic when they show the hiring manager that you have the intelligence and communication skills to put your strongest points across to him or her in a clear, direct and convincing manner. This letter also conveys your sense of enthusiasm for the job and that you are eager to become part of the company team. Luckily for you, this type of cover letter isn't all that hard to craft. All it takes is a little bit of willingness to learn the principles of how to write amazing, interview-getting and job-landing description of your experience, your enthusiasm, and why you are simply perfect for this job.
Once you've mastered that, there's some icing to put on the cake --- simple tricks and tips that get the attention of whoever looks at the letter and makes them intrigued enough to keep reading.
A Little of This, A Little of That... Instant Interview!
Put the pieces together and before you know it, you'll be writing these attention-getting cover letters as naturally as you once downloaded those horrific free sample cover letters off the Internet.
Best of all, compared to the average stale and watery prose that most free sample cover letters for customer service jobs contain, your truly effective letter is going to make the other cover letters look pretty unappealing. Sort of like those old candy wrappers, flu viruses and worn out, dirty sneakers we mentioned earlier. :-)
