Hidden Self harm Scars or Not
I have a lots of scars in various areas of my body, some exposed, some not, there is due to my self harm years when I was more younger or some in cause of my skin problems, I did post where I talk about my skin problems is here.
When I did it and I looked down at my arms, I thoughts about to hide them and I could not live in adult life with these scars, all peoples could look at me and say what are you to do on your arms? It's horrible!
The scars are in all sizes and sides on my arms. When I touch them with my fingers I feel good.
I have no problem for put a tshirt in summer and that everybody see them.
WEIRD, I have no problems now for accept scars that I did by myself but scars that I did not myself, I literally do not accept and refuse to show them, I feel in trouble when I must show them, very in trouble, I have some much difficults when I must to put me in swimsuit in public place.
I accept myself scars because I accept now that if these scars are here this is maybe because I had not choose the good manner for take out of my body my sufferings… for to be honest at one time, I choose selfharm for attract attention of peoples and show my sufferings and also for that peoples give attention to me cause I felt with no attention of persons, there is few months back I take conscience that this is in cause of borderline personality disorder, because I felt all time abandoned which I searched to attract attention with this attitude.
This was not maybe the good manner, but this was the mine.
This was the thing that I try for which peoples like me. Honestly, I know which it was not the good! I hated my self harm scars when I was practice it again. But now few years later I don't hate them, I don't see them as bad thing.
They are a part of my experience as a human being.
I think for accept self harm scars and of do not use again this manner for resolve her suffering, I do not think that us can accept self harm scars so that you think and try to use this manner for stop sufferings. I think it is not possible to accept them time that we are in practice.
Now… the mine, I accept them with me.
…But I do not accept my scars that I didn't do, I did not wanted who are to mines, I hate them, I did not want them,… I hate them.
I hope that in future years, I could to accept them, it could easiness my life, my self confidence, my adult life.

To be honest, it wasn't really that bad. Jason Davies led the switch to ibrowse with a patch back in January which made replication more reliable for him. Since then there's been a lot of work on improving the replicator's reliability in the face of unreliable links. It could be that inets would work just fine for us -- I certainly wouldn't say that its been ruled out. Best, Adam

Legionnaires' disease may be described as a rather severe version of pneumonia. It is a severe lung inflammation resulting from infection caused by legionella, a bacterium that you have to inhale. It is usually patients with weakened immune systems, smokers and older people who contract Legionnaires' disease by inhaling the bacteria.
This bacterium may even cause Pontiac fever that is much milder and resembles flu symptoms. Pontiac fever generally can clear up by itself, but untreated or undetected Legionnaires' disease may be extremely fatal. It requires quick treatment with antibiotics, but there are patients who continue to suffer long after treatment is initiated.
Can Work ACs cause Legionnaires' disease?
Legionella bacterium has the capacity to multiply rapidly indoors in any water system and this includes air conditioners. Many of the Legionnaires' disease outbreaks have been linked to the cooling towers in building air conditioning units.
Symptoms of Legionnaires' Disease
Symptoms can include mental changes, confusion, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, GI troubles, loss of appetite, fatigue, chest pain, shortness of breath, bloody cough and mucous, fever of 104 degrees Fahrenheit, chills, muscle pain and headache. The lungs are primarily affected by legionaries' disease, but sometimes wound infections and heart infections can result from this malady.
The best way to prevent the outbreak of these avoidable respiratory diseases is to ensure a safe and secure work environment inside the office. This includes checking the condition of the warm water systems and cooling towers and maintaining the AC system from time to time. Commercial air conditioning Brisbane should be consulted at regular intervals to fix all the commercial AC problems.

By Kelly
Most people share a house for at least part of their youth. I believe the experience is fundamental to the transition into adulthood. You learn that you have 'quirks' your family were too kind to tell you about, and that the 'quirks' of others aren't quirky at all. They are often just, bloody annoying.
Sharing lab space is very much like sharing house. For many of us it is a very important space, sacred even, where rituals and traditions can override common sense… During the last decade I have shared many a house, and many a lab for that matter, and there are distinct parallels between the two. If you are about to enter either tenancy, here's a list of a few things to avoid:
Don't use all the …..milk/nitrogen gas!
I like to have a bottle of UHT milk in the pantry for emergencies, in the same way that I have a spare bottle of high purity nitrogen in the courtyard. I can drink my coffee without milk, but I can't process my samples without nitrogen. So if you use the nitrogen/milk and it's getting low, order/buy more or at least tell me! Please. Imagine going to make your coffee and discovering it'll be 2 days before you can drink it!
Don't leave empty containers in fridge/store!
Even worse than simply using all the supplies is when the empty bottles are left giving the IMPRESSION you have enough milk/nitrogen only to open them and find you don't. To add insult to injury you then have to lug the empty bottle down to the courtyard (not so annoying with the milk carton, unless of course it weighs 20kg and you need a trolley to get it to the bin). Also, if things in the fridge go mouldy, please throw them out. This ACTUALLY happened in a lab I worked in once….the solution I used as a reference standard had something growing in it!!!
Do your dishes/dishes!
Whether it be glassware or beakers, it's just not polite to constantly leave dirty dishes in the sink. Particularly when glassware runs low and someone has to wash up before being able to quench thirst/reaction. Imagine you are just about to pour a glass of wine only to discover you need to soak your glass in detergent overnight, then in acid, then rinse and dry it before combusting it in the oven at 400C for three hours. Devastating.
Don't leave poison out!
Okay so perhaps not quite as applicable for house sharing but in a lab, for the love of Lionel, don't leave reagents/chemicals unlabeled. What looks like a harmless beaker of water may in fact be a not-so-harmless chemical. It's not only a potential health hazard but makes it rather difficult to dispose of correctly…like plastic without the recycling symbol on it that explodes if you put it in the wrong bin…
Try and keep your things in your own room/fumehood!
Most of the house/lab is common space so be respectful. Like my bedroom my fume hood and drawer are sometimes a bit of a mess, but that doesn't impinge on anyone elses space, so it's not the end of the world (so I tell myself). Having to eat standing up because someones left their food all over the dining table is not cool, particularly if the food is poisonous.
And lastly, if you borrow my tweezers MAKE SURE YOU RETURN THEM! I am lost without them. Not only do I contaminate my samples by touching them, but they are often so small I couldn't pick them up with my fingers even if I wanted to. That and I have eyebrows like my dad. There is an undesirable outcome in either case.

I'm a terrible mom and forgot to ask people all week long, but Ian is participating in a Trike-a-thon tomorrow at his school to raise money for St. Jude's. He is super about it. At school, they have learned all about bike safety and will be putting it to use tomorrow.
Ian's goal is to raise $100.00 total. And because I just remembered about this, we have raised $0. Anything would be appreciated, even $1.
Ian has his own personal donation site: Ian's Trike-a-thon.
Thanks in advance for your donation! I'll try and post pictures tomorrow of him riding.
Have a great night!

FCT Field Control Therapy Southern California, Orange County, CA 92780
Click the picture below to Watch Dr. Corey's Video
Diseases Addressed Successfully with FCT®
The following medical conditions have yielded good or excellent results in response to FCT in both children and adults.
Field Control Therapy (FCT) is a relatively new healthcare system that specifically addresses the illnesses of the 21st century. Modern lifestyle comes at a cost. Poor diet, increased exposure to radiation, environmental pollutants and toxic metals are creating a host of new health problems from chronic fatigue to immunodeficiency, autism and MS, to name a few. FCT identifies key toxins underlying illness and treats with 'causative homeopathy' to restore healthy cellular functioning.
FCT is a safe new innovative way to identify and treat the cause of any or all health deficits that deplete the energy of the body, while strengthening the immune system thereby preventing chronic illness.
FCT provides us with a window to see into the body to discover what's really there including virus, bacteria, yeast, mold, parasites, heavy metal toxicity, and much more. It gives us a blueprint for thoroughly and safely cleaning out all the pollution and debris which cause miscommunication not only between each cell, but between the master control center in the nucleus of each cell and all the cell workers. When this is achieved, the individual is then free to manifest his/her true potential in life. The unique design of FCT, allows it to be infinitely varied and fine-tuned for each person so that it can be applied safely with laser like accuracy.
FCT is an entirely new paradigm designed to provide a safe, effective way of restoring homeostasis to the body. The inherent design of this blueprint allows it to be infinitely varied and fine-tuned so that it can be tailor-made for each individual at each stage of their progress. This is not a one-size-fits-all method nor is it the shotgun approach of 'if you give enough pills and potions something might have an effect'! Instead, FCT employs bio-resonance testing to determine the individual's needs regarding treatment priority of each organ/body system, the level of involvement, the strength and timing of each remedy and additional life-style protocols to follow to enhance the benefit of the remedies.
The remedies themselves contain specially prepared water, using the principles of homeopathy. Unlike classical or complex homeopathy, these remedies are primarily designed to be taken only once in one-drop doses. This method is known as Causative Homeopathy. By using bio-resonance testing via the autonomic nervous system, the most effective treatment protocol can be discovered with laser-like accuracy.

For young collectors: János Arany was born 200 years ago. A miniature of four stamps introduced by Magyar Posta
FindYourStampsValue.com is excited to let our readers know that the Hungarian postal Service has issued a set of commemorative stamps in the form of a souvenir sheet to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of János Arany.
He is recognized as one of the most influential writers of all time in Hungary. One of the keys in his writing is his immensely impressive vocabulary.
In his combined works, János Arany used more than 60,000 different words, which easily wins him the title of being the Hungarian writer with the largest vocabulary. Apart from writing his own poetry, János Arany was also famous for his translations of classic pieces of literature into Hungarian. For instance he has translated three of the most well-known Shakespeare dramas into Hungarian - Hamlet, king John, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
The four stamps in the souvenir sheet depicts scenes from four of his most famous ballads, and a portrait of János Arany himself is shown on the souvenir sheet itself. The stamps are denominated at 120 Ft, and on two of the four stamps, there is a surcharge of 75 Ft. This surcharge goes to support Youth Philately, and it continues the Hungarian tradition of supporting this cause.

Claims timely filing guidelines FAQ
Q: What are the claims timely filing guidelines? How can I prevent claim denials and/or rejects for untimely filing?
A: Per Section 6404 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) claims for services furnished on or after January 1, 2010, must be filed within one calendar year from the date of service. Claims with dates of service January 1, 2010, and later, received more than one calendar year (12 months) from the date of service will be denied or rejected.
Key points to remember
For all claims:
• Claims with a date of service of February 29 must be filed by February 28 of the following year to be considered filed timely.
• Electronic claims -- The electronic data interchange (EDI) system accepts claims 24/7; however, claims received after 6 p.m. eastern time (ET) or on a weekend or holiday are considered received the next business day.
• Paper claims -- Timeliness is calculated based on contractor receipt date, not the postmark date of when the claims are mailed, so please allow time for mailing.
For claims with "span dates of service" ("from" and "through" date span on the claim):
• Part A institutional claims – "Through date" is used to determine the date of service for claim timely filing.
• Part B claims – "From date" is used to determine the date of service for claim timely filing.

[Thomas] "Jefferson insisted that 'every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another,' and therefore in the United States, 'the care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.'" (Larry J. Sabato, A More Perfect Constitution.)
America's economic system is one of capitalism. What is 'capitalism'? According to the American Heritage Dictionary (3rd edition), the general definition is an economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in the free market.
Adam Smith established the foundation of modern capitalism in his most notable work, The Wealth of Nations. Written in the same year British colonists living on the North American continent declared their independence, 1776. I believe and Humanistic Equalism: Philosophy for Ethical Government vigorously promotes the idea that capitalism is a solid proven economic system, perhaps the best ever organized for a free democracy or representative democracy.
Contemporary American capitalism, however, is an abomination. It is a misshapen and unnatural application of capitalism principles and theory aimed at achieving improper and immoral objectives. At the beginning of the 21st century the driving force of United States economic practice is not "free market" capitalism, but instead, it is "financial" capitalism and "disaster capitalism". What does that mean?
The over-simplified answer is that in a true "free market" capitalist economy profit and wealth are created and accumulated through one's merit, creativity, and ability. While in a "financial" capitalist economy, profit and wealth are generated and accumulated by speculation and manipulation. "Disaster" capitalism is a historically and relatively recent wild-west bastardization of the free market profit paradigm that exploits instability, terror, terrorism and the subsequent demand for increased 'security'. It is brilliant really. Brilliant, vulgar, cruel, and quite possibly the pinnacle of cynicism.
In the case of a true "free market" capitalist economy government assumes a very limited role in regulation and oversight. In our current "financial" capitalist economy government only gets involved when there is egregious malfeasance or wide spread harm caused by excessive greed and obviously unscrupulous behavior by financial speculators. Some examples include insider trading, fraudulent accounting practices, and inappropriate manipulation of stock prices.
As for "disaster" capitalism, government policy and agencies directly promote conditions favorable to what author Naomi Klein in her most recent work, "Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism," aptly redefines as "the disaster industrial complex". For example the Iraq war and our current financial meltdown. It is when the people of a nation are thrown into a state of extreme fear and shock that government can then institute policy changes that ultimately usurp the power of the people and increase the power of the elite ruling minority faction.
I am not an economist and it is not my intention to delve into or try to explain economic theory and principles. I have no intention of rehashing old debates that are no longer pertinent or relevant. My aim is to establish that Humanistic Equalism: Philosophy for Ethical Government economics is more like Adam Smith's free market capitalism and is not, as many will claim, about the redistribution of wealth. Humanistic Equalism economic policy is quite simple.
Government establishes the parameters and clearly defines the terms, conditions and rules regarding the conduct of business and the market. Government defends the lives and conditions of American citizens first, and then public and private property. All government activities and functions with regard to the workings of free markets will be based on serving the interests and needs required to provide all citizens equal access, opportunity, health, and safety. In other words, the well-being and benefit of average citizens-the people-are considered more important than profit, property, power and position.
There are basically two principles underlying our nations so-called "conservative" political doctrine. First, the smallest sized government possible and very little, if any, interference or regulation by government. From the Founding Fathers through the Whigs of the 19th century to the contemporary Republican Party, less government and less regulation has been the mantra. The caveat is that whatever oversight, regulation and government involvement that is absolutely necessary must exist to support, promote, and insure "free" markets and capitalist profit.
Second, government and law must be organized in such manner that the rich can depend on it to protect their profit and property regardless of the effect on citizens. Why is it governments business to get involved beyond the rules and regulations of conducting business that apply to all in order to provide something extra for the wealthy elite? I will tell you why. Because the rich could not remain rich and the powerful could not remain powerful without government support and protection.
As we watch the current economic crisis unfold I will ask you to think about this: What our president, congress and presidential candidates are doing is exhibiting the actions and attitude of aristocracy. That is to say, while they continue to tell citizens that they need to act in order to protect "main street" their actions are designed to do nothing more than maintain the status quo. Or, as long as the rich are allowed to remain rich and the powerful are allowed to keep their power the rest of us will be protected.
I will delve deeper into the difference between what our so-called "leaders" are trying to preserve and how Humanistic Equalism: Philosophy for Ethical Government economics will change our nation for the better next time. Until then Give Peace a chance.

Maintaining the status quo,that is, continuing the same actions based on flawed reasoning to achieve misguided ends, will only bring the same results we are experiencing today. Violence and war cannot resolve any issue, nor can they establish peace. The United States of America was born in blood, expanded by blood, industrialized and made wealthy with the blood of the poor, with that of slaves, women, immigrants and the weak. America's traditional philosophy of government is the same as every empire that ever was. Consequently, the results have been, and will be, the same as that of empires past. As long as our government makes law and conducts policy that value's property over citizens our future will be as violent and bloody and divided as our past. The cycle of momentary success followed by failure and violence will continue until the United States, as we now know it, is no more.
Many people argue with me about that statement, but they are wrong and the statement is true. Since becoming a legally established country in 1789 America has taken what it wanted by force. Our actions may be justified and rationalized, one can proclaim 'manifest destiny' and insist that what America has created, invented and given to the world far outweighs any of its minor indiscretions. Indeed, those protestations and claims might sustain that argument for a moment or two. However, if the quality of an action is determined by its consequences, I believe the historical and current evidence leaves no doubt that the status quo is a decisive failure. Is there any valid logic, reason or common sense in fighting so hard to keep doing something that always fails?
If the purpose of our government is to insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, and promote the general welfare, I ask, is our government doing it? Anyone that says yes, is, whether by nature, nurture or choice, cognitively disabled (retarded). Either that, or they are a bold-faced liar.
I ask, if our government is supposed to provide security to enable all citizens to pursue life, happiness, and property in a state of liberty, is it; has it ever done so? If one answers yes they must be brain dead, extremely wealthy, or they are a bold-faced liar.
Our government, the purveyor and symbol of the status quo, is incapable of securing anything except its own power and position. It does this by fomenting fear. Through propaganda we are convinced of a monstrous 'new' enemy. We imagine just who they might be, what they might do, and where they might strike. Citizens are constantly demoralized and terrorized by our government and Christian orthodoxy. Everyone foreign or with different convictions is a suspect. The status quo is thoroughly corrupt, its objectives amoral, and its power is held on to through intimidation, secret spying and by applying all the force and resources of state and federal police agencies against citizens in the name of protecting citizens.
Guardians of the status quo know full well that they cannot defeat so-called terrorism, they know that our citizens can never be safe. Ask yourself one question: "Who or what was really protected or profited by the more than one Trillion dollars spent by the United States government in FY2007?" Did you, your family or business become more wealthy or better off?
Terror and terrorism cannot now, nor will it ever, be defeated by any amount of force or money employed by the status quo. Why? Terrorism is a means driven by an idea to resolve an untenable condition. It is generally known and widely accepted that an idea can never be eliminated or beaten by oppression, faith, opposition or force. Terror and terrorism can be fought openly as with warfare, or covertly under cover of secrecy and blackness. Agents of terrorism can be bought or bribed. They can be cajoled, placated, even negotiated with. Terrorism can be supported if it serves our purpose, and denounced to establish our credibility or to gain an advantage.
Those among the status quo concerned with such matters know very well that terrorism and terror will, in the end, always win simply because it cannot be ignored. The status quo have accepted this reality and are now actively seeking avenues and opportunities to make terrorism and terror a profitable wealth generating multinational enterprise.
In practical terms this means that instead of attempting to establish genuine security for America and Americans, the machinery of the status quo has adopted the persistent nature and reality of terror and terrorism as a business model and marketing tool for a wide range of "security products". This is yet another exhibit in the already overwhelming mountain of evidence that our pseudo-aristocratic government, on behalf of elite minority faction rule, believes it is supported by a divinely inspired and therefore protected philosophy. It is a philosophy operating on principles of piety, profit, power, and with supreme control that places the highest and most desirable value on property, position, and wealth, while regarding human life as either a cheap commodity to be exploited or as a disposable tool.
Humanistic Equalism: Philosophy for Ethical Government appreciates the momentary pleasure and motivational value of personal achievement. It has great respect for creating wealth and actively encourages success, profit, power and position. There is no question that these are important goals and desires natural to human beings and the advance of civilization. However, Humanistic Equalism ultimately regards these and all exclusively self-aggrandizing materially motivated pursuits as secondary and subservient to the progress, happiness, and improved conditions in which all our citizens, and indeed all people everywhere should live and function.
Wealth, position, profit, and power in their proper context with relation to government and society are interim and immediate results that should serve as an additional means to loftier ends. Ends such as leading all citizens toward the long held commonly desired goal of accelerating human progress, happiness,prosperity and advancing civilization. Wealth, position, profit, and power should not be governments motivating purpose or function. The purpose and function of government is to guarantee equal access, equal opportunity, and equal consideration by hearing all and favoring none. Government must clearly define the rules and parameters regarding the products and wealth our citizens create and produce. The benefits of human ingenuity and labor are a society's common product resulting from common sense for the common good; they are not the property and machinery of an elite minority faction.
The point is that if wealth, position, profit, and power are prioritized properly and governed by a humane rather than ordained political philosophy, all citizens will have an equal shot at the brass ring. Those that start at birth in fortunate material circumstances will be able to achieve even greater heights. While those born with nothing more than a strong heart, strong intellect, and strong back will have just as much opportunity to accomplish something and rise above the circumstance of their birth. After all, is this not the American Dream?
The next natural evolution of political philosophy and systems of government can only be one where the entire reason for a government to exist is to make sure the playing field of public business and public interactivity is level and the rules apply equally to all citizens at all times. To make sure that no citizen is penalized for the course of their life by the circumstance of birth. In practical terms this means that no citizen should ever be kept down burdened with poor health, insufficient inadequate education, hunger or lack of shelter as a result of to whom and in what circumstance they were born.
I do not understand when anyone tries to argue that there is any other reason for government power than to defend and secure the basic necessities of life. In previous times that meant defense from invasion, food, clothing and shelter. In the 21st century it means good health, unlimited education, reasonably priced healthy food, and equal treatment by authority. It means equal access to process, equal opportunity with equal enforcement and equal justice. Government, though it is of society, cannot function or act like it. Society is brutal. Society is a buyer beware, every person for him or her self, I'm gonna get mine jungle; it is neither fair nor equal. And why should it be? Individuals make up a society and their primary concern is their own well being.
Government, on the other hand, must be the controlling authority and force of consistency guaranteeing every citizen absolutely equal status, privileges, and rights by the impartial and ethical conduct of all its action, function, and responsibility. Government must be the home-plate umpire calling balls and strikes, fouls and outs; a neutral objective third party whose only function is to enforce the rules that have been approved by all, for all.
There is no doubt or argument that government must assume the primary responsibility of defining and enforcing the law of contracts and use its full force and authority to protect private and personal property. Government must also define, enact, and enforce a civil and criminal code of laws; and it should be entrusted with all necessary power and authority to keep order through justice. But since all of these matters concern the affairs and effect the lives of all the people, it is they, and not property or other things, about which contracts are entered into, which are of the greatest value.
Government, first and foremost, must be base its action and function on human beings, their needs and progress. The proposed Humanistic Equalism system and process of government controlled by the objectively neutral Three-question Test process will accomplish something never before done by the status quo or any government thus far in history.
Humanistic Equalism: Philosophy for Ethical Government adopted as our government system and process will translate into real and substantial security for all America's citizens, for our homeland, and for our foreign interests by establishing absolutely equal status, privileges, and rights for every citizen in all matters by its ethical conduct of equal consideration and treatment. When United States citizens, and those of other nations are treated equally, with dignity, with respect and with consideration of their needs and progress; only then will security, prosperity, and hope prevail. Only then will human civilization advance beyond its historical and present condition of misery, decay, and terror.
In the case of continuing to uphold and support the institution and tradition of the status quo versus a second American's Revolution and shift of power to a government of Humanistic Equalism. I believe that I have presented sufficient evidence for a decision and ruling in favor of Humanistic Equalism: Philosophy for Ethical Government and radical change. If my fellow citizens will consider the testable and factual evidence on the merits and not whether this new philosophy and system of government will rock the boat, stir things up, or cause them to be uncomfortable and inconvenienced, there can only be one logical outcome.
If Humanistic Equalism is considered with intellectual and personal honesty, unfettered by shackles of dogma and creed, failed political ideology or the fraudulent prestidigitation of miracle our course of action is clear. One must consider the facts and evidence as a United States citizen by rising above petty selfish affection and attachment to inherited personal beliefs. When the evidence is weighed based only on that which is knowable and true, a citizen must decide in favor of Revolution, in favor of overthrowing the status quo.
This concludes our initial examination of the broad subject of "Security." On 15 October 2008 Blogger's Unite will sponsor another "blog-in." This time bloggers around the globe will be coming together to address the subject of poverty. I will be among those blogging about this egregious condition plaguing America and the world. So, in preparation for, and leading up to 15 October 2008 I will be discussing on this blog site economics as it is and as it could be under a government of Humanistic Equalism. Please come back soon and Give Peace a chance.

Because of the horrendous events of 11 September 2001
the United States is now spending nearly half its annual federal budget – more than one Trillion tax dollars – to manufacture and sustain a delusion of so-called National and Homeland Security. The status quo, in full support of the elite minority faction, keep telling us we can even more get security by invading and occupying some nations and threatening others. Pretending that America is safe and citizens are free, we are neither.
There is more than a general consensus in 2008 that real security in the United States is doubtful. In spite of all the borrowing and spending by congress and the executive, in spite of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, war, torture, degenerating civil rights and liberty. In spite of a vengeful fundamentalist unitary executive who acts like a king issuing decree by executive order and legislative signing statement, the United States is impotent against terrorists and terrorism.
The inadequacy and failure of the status quo model and minority faction rule is now being exposed. If we, as a nation, choose to pass up a rare historical opportunity to carry out another American's Revolution, make a new system of government, and cause an irreversible shift of power, the current status quo will be the condition and position of America until its demise. To establish what most citizens imagine and think about when discussing security terms must be redefined and our nation's means and objectives re-framed. Humanistic Equalism: Philosophy for Ethical Government is, for the moment, the only viable solution.
In his essay "The Ultimate Power," found in Passionate Declarations, Professor Howard Zinn discusses redefining terms and changing the framework of our objectives writing:
Statistics indicate that, of the industrialized nations, those that spend the least for military purposes show the greatest economic progress. … [The] habits of governments [are] so deeply dug into old policies of militarism and war … if a great popular movement should develop to insist on change, … if it became large enough to threaten the political power of government …[it] must be driven by a vision. … The vision in this case, for people all over the world, is the most inspiring of all, that of a world without war, without police states, … and with immense resources now free to be used for human needs. …It is, of course, an enormous job to be done. But never in history has there been one more worthwhile. … All we need to do is make the first moves, speak the first words.
…The conversion of resources requires a conversion of language. New definitions of old terms could become a part of the common vocabulary. The old definitions have misled us and caused monstrous harm.
The word for security, for instance, would take on a new meaning: the health and well being of people, which is the greatest strength and the most lasting security a nation can have. (A simple parable makes this clear: Would a family living in a high crime city feel more "secure" if it put machine guns in its windows, dynamite charges in the yard, and tripwires all around the house, at the cost of half the family income and less food for the children?) The analogy is not far fetched. It is an understatement of what nations do today.
Following up on Professor Zinn's ideas keep in mind that our nation is now spending more than one Trillion dollars annually to produce nothing more than the illusion and delusion of national and homeland security. Future spending is projected to be even higher. Citizens must ask and answer some simple but very serious questions.
Would we not in fact be substantially and measurably more secure if every citizen were guaranteed the best basic medical care from conception to coffin? Would we not be more secure if every citizen were guaranteed the best education and training throughout the course of their life? Would our discernible security not be more reliable if every citizen actively and willingly contributed to the nation through a brief period of useful work on its behalf? Would citizens not be more united and devoted to each other and America at large if every person, every business and every corporation that should pay taxes actually paid them? If all citizens had an opportunity to exercise authentic material control over government actions and spending would we not substantially increase the meaning and degree of national and domestic security? And finally, is it not undeniably obvious that America and American citizens would be infinitely more secure if every citizen were guaranteed that our United States government treats all living citizens in a truly equal way by establishing and maintaining absolutely equal status, privilege, and rights, and conducting its business in a consummate ethical manner?
As for national security with regard to foreign affairs, is it not reasonable to believe American security is more likely if our government does not invade and occupy other countries, or engage in constant bullying by threatening others? If leaders used our know-how and influence to aid and support those around the world that are struggling against totalitarian rulers, tyranny, ethnic cleansing, or religious genocide because it is the right and humane thing to do and without expecting anything in return, would we not be infinitely more secure? For example would we not be better off supporting Venezuela rather than Israel or Saudi Arabia?
If, instead of flouting our alleged superiority and very real military arsenal to force untenable Milton Friedman wild west capitalist economic terrorism and social changes upon places where they are unwelcome, unwarranted, and unwanted, would we not enhance our own reputation and thus our security? If we employed our ingenuity, technology, and authority exclusively to help others less fortunate, those mired in devastating poverty or oppression? If America helped them to rise up and determine their own destiny, while allowing them to remain true to their traditional beliefs and culture, instead of trying to make them more like Americans. If, instead "giving" Democracy to those that do not necessarily want it at gunpoint, or forcing the American way of life upon other cultures, the United States lived up to its own ideals, would we not find ourselves with greater demonstrable security?
America has always claimed and, until recently, always been believed by other nations to be the world's first and strongest protector of basic Human Rights. I ask, if our foreign policy were to be equal to our marketing and mythology what nation, what group or cause, what ideology or terrorist would have reason or grievance to attack the United States or any of its interests, facilities or territory? Honestly? Really think about the implications. Our hubris, ignorance, and cupidity – our hypocrisy – is the source and cause of any terrorism, any attack or disruption we are now experiencing or will face in the future.
If our nation acted as it spoke, practiced what it preaches, or did unto others, as it would have them do unto America, we would have no enemy. Only when someone is wronged, intentionally or otherwise, will they become an enemy.
Generally, people treated with common courtesy, respect, honesty and without deception will not and cannot become an enemy. They may still hurt you, but any such action would be motivated by something else; like greed or a need to dominate, something emotional or psychological but not the venom and vitriol that inspires terrorism and real enemies.
Imagine the United States being a humanitarian super power rather than a military super power. Imagine America being a facilitator and supporter of people and nations rather than an invader and occupier. Imagine being the world's healer and the planets' supreme protector rather than its interrogator, torturer and plunderer. Imagine if the United States government, its citizens and its corporations, were focused on and dedicated to improving human living conditions for all people around the world rather than increasing the wealth, position, and power of an elite minority faction. Imagine that human progress, happiness, good health, unlimited education, opportunity and absolute equality of status, privileges, rights and ethical conduct by government is the most important objective of United States citizens and government. More important than profit, wealth, conquest, oil, or even image and prestige; imagine that people are more valuable than anything of or beyond this world. If you can imagine these things, then you can imagine the true spirit and purpose of the United States of America and its aspiration as expressed in Declaration of Independence. Humanistic Equalism: Philosophy for Ethical Government will make it possible.
Can you imagine the United States of America being this kind of nation? Certainly the two major presidential candidates and the two ruling political parties do not and cannot inspire such high minded thoughts. Until we, the people, carry out another Revolution throwing out our bad government and instituting a new one based on Humanistic Equalism: Philosophy for Ethical Government our security and safety will remain as a source of fear, oppression, and profit.
Next time I will conclude my examination of security with an in depth look at terror and terrorism. Until then, Give Peace a chance.

BRISTOL PALIN-MAVERICK McCAIN-RNC-HANNA-IKE
Our in depth examination and discussion about the fallacy of security in the United States of America continues.
The deception of America's security begins in the words of the Declaration of Independence with the suggestion that "all are…equal." Recall Thomas Jefferson's meaning that all are equal in rights and not necessarily in abilities. Although this myth of equality was vital when instigating rebellion it was not considered important enough to be explicitly included as part of our Constitution. In the Preamble 'equality' is overtly implicit as a sub-text lending support to American security mythology.
The Preamble is unambiguous in its assertion that we, the people, did ordain and establish our constitutional framework. Principally for the purposes of organizing a system and process of government to provide security for life, liberty, and property. It is a legal and binding social contract. The framers agreed that the ends of government are to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, and promote the general welfare. All of which are aspects of either domestic or national security. They also pledged to devote resources to creating a more perfect union and ensuring liberty's blessings.
Citizens first learn about the American Revolution and the writing of the Constitution in school. This process generally includes memorizing the Preamble. As a result, the natural and logical inference one draws is that all this security, protection, justice, and the supposed blessings secured by government are for every member of the group. That is to say, Americans believe this Constitutional contract must apply equally to all citizens, private and corporate. Therein one discovers the fraud, the deception and ultimately, the myth.
The plain unvarnished non-mythologized truth is that our independence was declared, our Revolution instigated, and our United States Constitution was constructed and ratified by and for the benefit and protection of the property and interests of an elite wealthy minority faction; not for ALL. The only role common citizens and poor farmers had in establishing this nation was the actual fighting and winning of the Revolutionary War.
In Passionate Declarations, re-titled and re-published in 2003 by Perennial, an imprint of Harper Collins Publishers, Inc., New York, historian, activist, and author, Dr. Howard Zinn, discussing the opening phrase of our Constitution's Preamble writes:
"The Constitution thus looked as if it were written by all the people, representing their interests. … In fact, the Constitution was drawn up by fifty-five men, all white and mostly rich, who represented a certain elite group in the new nation."
Dr. Zinn also writes about this extensively in A People's History of the United States, first published in 1980 by Harper Collins Publishers, Inc., New York, and revised most recently in 2003. He notes that, "In Federalist Paper #10, James Madison argued that representative government was needed to maintain peace in a society ridden by factional disputes." Disputes caused from, as Madison says, "the various and unequal distribution of property."
According to Zinn, Madison saw the real problem threatening survival of the United States going forward as one of "minority faction." The solution offered by the Constitution was a large republic ranging over thirteen states. Madison then says: " It will be more difficult for all who feel it to discover their own strength, and to act in unison with each other… The influence of factious leaders may kindle a flame within their particular States, but [it] will be unable to spread a general conflagration through the other States." Madison reasoned that, any rabble-rousers, or even someone with a legitimate cause, if separated – isolated, could be controlled and ultimately shut down. Thereby keeping the peace and security for those with wealth and property.
But Professor Zinn asks, "[Is] it the aim of government simply to maintain order…? Or is it that government has some special interest in maintaining a certain kind of order, a certain distribution of power and wealth, a distribution in which government officials are not neutral… but participants?"
In Federalist #10, James Madison is direct about whose peace he supports. He remarks: "A rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the Union than a particular member of it." [Emphasis added.] James Madison impugns common citizens' redress for economic stimulus, for relief that had been assured, and a demand to have equal access, opportunity, and protection by designating our purported inalienable rights of citizenship to be both improper and wicked. This act exposes his true aristocratic nature and loyalty to the powerful status quo.
Madison was a member of the original American pseudo-aristocratic class that also included Hamilton, John Adams, Jefferson, and Washington. Most of our constitutional framers were an elite cohort of men that were already established in positions of wealth and power. The group also included lawyers, shipping tycoons, slave traders, speculators and moneychangers. This minority faction instigated rebellion and revolution for less than altruistic or compassionate ends. Upon attaining victory this minority acted to institutionalize its position, power, and priority interests as synonymous with our new nation's objectives by assigning exclusive authority and privilege to themselves and the minority faction they represented at the Constitutional Convention.
In A People's History of the United States, Professor Zinn refers to historian Charles Beard's early twentieth century book, An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution, in which Beard points out that, "for their own interest, the rich either have to directly control the government or the laws by which government operates." By studying the political ideas and economic backgrounds of the fifty-five men who assembled the Constitution, Charles Beard discovered that most of them were wealthy, and that most had some direct economic interest in establishing a strong federal government.
Mr. Beard also noted that four groups were not represented in the Constitutional Convention: slaves, indentured servants, women, and men without property. I would add native people to the list. Because those groups were not represented, the Constitution did not reflect their interests. But, according to Zinn, Beard wanted to make it clear that, "he [Beard] did not think the Constitution was written merely to benefit the Founding Fathers personally. Rather, it was to benefit the groups the Founders represented, the 'economic interests they understood and felt in concrete, definite form through their own personal experience.'" Charles Beard also warns us that government, including our own, is not neutral.Government always represents the dominant economic [and I would add religious] interests and shapes their constitutions to serve these interests.
By examining the political clauses of our Constitution and the economic interests that created them, it is very easy to recognize it for what it is. The United States Constitution is not the work of wise men simply trying to establish the security of a decent and orderly nation. The final draft language clearly demonstrates that certain parts of society arranged things for their security in order to hold on to their established privileges, power and wealth, while, as Dr. Zinn says, "giving just enough rights and liberties to enough of the people to ensure popular support." From the very beginning of our nation the government has been arranged to divide and control.
That ours is a nation dedicated to providing justice, domestic tranquility, common defense and general welfare for all citizens is the myth of America's security. The truth is that 'All' is narrowly defined and includes primarily wealthy and powerful religious, political, and corporate interests. The remaining 90%-plus of citizens must be content to rely on our rugged individualism and, in deference to our pseudo-aristocratic government and the wealthy donor-class, we should be grateful to live in the greatest, most powerful, most secure and free nation in the history of the world. The security objective of the elite status quo is to protect its own position, power and profit, not all the citizens of the United States.
This process of securing the wealth, powers and position of the American Ruling Class is maintained by granting – usually after much resistance – some number of limited, tightly restricted and controlled civil rights and liberties. All of which continually undergo further limitation and qualification upon review by the courts and legislative amendment. It is unpatriotic to complain about this because every citizen should know by now that, Freedom ain't Free.
We have traded our liberties for lawyers and our integrity for the myth of security. The illusion and structure of America's traditional Homeland and National Security model protected and defended thus far by the status quo offers some insight into the deleterious stupor of credulity and cupidity infecting the spirit and character of United States citizens.
Something for readers to consider. More to follow in my next posting. Until then...Give Peace a chance.

State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia
(formerly the Russian Museum of His Imperial Majesty Alexander III)
Valentin Aleksandrovich Serov (1865-1911) was a Russian painter, and one of the premier portrait artists of his era. In his childhood he studied in Paris and Moscow under Ilya Repin and in the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts under Pavel Chistyakov. His early creativity was sparked by the realistic art of Repin and strict pedagogical system of Chistyakov. Further influences on him were the old master paintings he viewed in the museums of Russia and Western Europe, and the creative atmosphere of the Abramtsevo Colony, to which he was closely connected.
He was born in St. Petersburg into the family of a famous Russian composer Alexander Serov, and his wife Valentina Bergman, a composer of German-Jewish and English background. In 1871 his father died, and in 1874, they moved to Paris, where he regularly visited the studio of Ilya Repin, who was very fond of the little boy. In 1875, the Serovs came to live at Abramtsevo, the estate of the industrial tycoon Savva Mamontov, and the cultural center of the time, where artists, musicians and actors were always welcome. He grew up in an atmosphere of constant creativity. He studied in Paris and Moscow under Ilya Repin in his childhoodand, and at the age of 15 he entered the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts.
The greatest works of his early period were portraits, and from 1890 on, the portrait became the basic genre in his art. In such paintings he concentrated on spontaneity of perception of the model and nature. In the development of light and color, the complex harmony of reflections, the sense of atmospheric saturation, and the fresh picturesque perception of the world, there appeared the features of early Russian impressionism. The girl with peaches (1887) was the painting that inaugurated Russian Impressionism. His favorite models were actors, artists, and writers.
From 1890 to 1900 he produced many landscape compositions on country themes, in which the artistic direction took a romantic turn. During his late period, at the start of the 20th century, he was at a stylistic turning point: features of impressionism disappeared from his work, and his modernistic style developed, but the characteristic truthful and realistic comprehension of the nature of his subjects remained constant. He created heroic portrait images, focusing on the dramatic depiction of creative artists, writers, actors, and musicians. The last years of his life were marked by works on themes from classical mythology. While addressing images from the ancient tradition, he endowed classical subject matter with a personal interpretation.
In 1903, he was elected the academician of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts. He became the most successful and brilliant portraitist in Russia of the 1890s and first decade of the 20th century.

About 500,000
Americans converged on Washington, DC, on Saturday, January 21, a day after the 45th president of the United States was inaugurated. The Women's March on Washington, along with satellite events across the country and around the world, gave citizens of all stripes an opportunity to voice their concerns over cuts to healthcare, the curtailing of women's reproductive health services and other policies promised by the new administration.
Among the marchers in the nation's capital was Elizabeth Richards, MD, a native New Yorker and a fourth-year pathology resident at Montefiore. Dr. Richards is currently doing a fellowship in gastrointestinal and hepatopathology
at the University of Washington, Seattle. In 2018-2019, she will be a fellow in general surgical pathology at Stanford.
Dr. Richards recently spoke with the Pathology News about her decision to become a health care and social justice activist.
Pathology News: Why did you decide to march?
Dr. Elizabeth Richards: The Women's March for me was not just about women's issues but about the broader goal of protecting the rights and freedoms of all oppressed groups. I felt it was important to show up and show that we're a country based on tolerance, acceptance and equality. So many groups came together for the march. It was beautiful to see us all standing up for each other's rights in solidarity.
PN: Whom did you march with?
ER: I marched with a group of friends, most of whom are returning Peace Corps volunteers and active in health care policy and development.
PN: What was the experience like for you?
ER: It was very positive and peaceful. Everyone was smiling and even though it was incredibly crowded, people would make way for each other and help each other out.
PN: Did the Women's March inspire you to get involved in other ways?
ER: Prior to the 2016 presidential election, I was not politically active. Going to the Women's March inspired me to become more engaged. I have now made it part of my daily routine to write to Congress every day. Midterm elections are coming up in two years and we must be ready. I've also made it a habit to donate to organizations that are fighting for the causes I care about such as the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. There are marches going on almost every day in New York City. I can't make it to most of them because of my work schedule, but if there is one on a weekend I try to
show up.
PN: As a healthcare professional, why has political activism become important to you?
ER:As a physician I feel that I have a special responsibility to stand up for my patients. The threats to the ACA (Affordable Care Act) and to Planned Parenthood would have a direct negative effect on the community we serve here at Montefiore. I feel it's important for all voices to contribute to the dialogue. As a physician, I can speak to some of the specific consequences these proposed policy changes would have on health care. I'm particularly concerned with women's access to reproductive health care. Planned Parenthood provides preventative care and cancer screenings for millions of women every year, many of whom would otherwise not have access to care or would be unable to afford it. I worry that if Planned Parenthood is defunded we'll see an increase in cervical and breast cancer and other serious medical conditions that affect women's health.
PN: Do you see your participation in the DC march, and the activities you're now involved in, as representative of Montefiore's long tradition of social justice advocacy?
ER: I can only speak for myself, but I hope this article inspires more people in the Montefiore community to get involved. There are many of us already. I urge everyone to reach out to their representatives in government on a regular basis. We need to let them know how we feel about issues that affect us and the communities we serve.
There's an app called "Countable." You enter your zip code and it connects you to your representatives. You can select the issues that are important to you, and you'll get a daily notification about what's going on in Congress. The app provides a summary of the issues and what the opposing sides have to say. After reviewing the information, you can send an email to your representatives via the app.

Tank Pumping is a very important part of regular maintenance on your Aerobic System.
High "Sludge" Levels
Testing sludge levels in the aerobic tank should be part of the septic system's routine maintenance. When the sludge reaches a level of roughly 50% to 60% of the aerobic tank, it is recommended that you have the system pumped. Sometimes sludge will collect inside the pump tank, this can mark water surges in the system. In such a case, we would recommend you schedule a tank pumping as soon as possible.
Reasons to keep tank pumping part of regular maintenance:
- Having too much sludge in the aerobic tank will reduce the percentage of wastewater treated.
- Without being pumped regularly solids can build up in the pump, resulting in pump failure.
- Spray lines and spray heads can even be clogged by too excess solids.
How often do I need to pump my Aerobic System?
Pumping frequency varies — the average is between 1 and 5 years depending upon, but not limited to, the following criteria:
- The size of the trash tank, pump tank, and aerobic tank.
- The number of members in the household.
- The items being put down drains or flushed down the toilet.
- The medications within the household.
- Excessive use of household cleaners.
- Hydraulic overloads on the system.

The head of the New Zealand First Party says the leaking of emails contemptuous of NZ's role in global diplomacy shows the country has not invested enough in its international presence.
WikiLeaks has made public thousands of emails from American intelligence group Stratfor, an organisation once known as the "shadow CIA".
In the emails, senior members of the think-tank are dismissive of New Zealand, with one describing it as "a piece of real estate of (no) particular importance".
New Zealand First's Winston Peters has told Radio Australia's Pacific Beat it is a different picture from the one painted by New Zealand governments.
"What it does show is that New Zealand, contrary to what it has been saying from successive governments about punching above our weight and the various statements that are made as a matter of national pride simply has not done as well as we should have," he said.
"And that's one of the problems. I mean you go back 40 years, where we were sort of number two or number three in the world economically, we would not be in this conversation.
"So the total picture of it of the slide of the country economically and then I think a failure to have put enough investment into his international presence which clearly is the case as we speak now."
Mr Peters, a former foreign minister, says New Zealand and Australia remain the most influential countries in the Pacific, but New Zealand has always struggled to gain broader recognition from the US.
"You would have to a fool as a New Zealander not to realise that something was untoward," he said.
"As a foreign minister, I did my best to identify why it should be there, because amongst other things, there was a serious lack of understanding of the part of the Americans when it came to New Zealand's historic contribution to issues of freedom and democracy.
"And we got to two wars two years before them on both occasions didn't we? And we were involved in all sorts of wars all over the world where we're miles and miles from our national interest and I think that Americans need to be reminded of that, and the number of people per capita that died here in those wars was actually astronomical, given the geographic distance from where we were engaged."

TX Sunday 7th October, BBC Two
Victorian Britain was famous for its magnificent feats of engineering, but over a century later our once groundbreaking systems are aged and creaking. In this two part series, Evan Davis will look at the importance of infrastructure – why it is needed, and some of the solutions being implemented to repair Britain's crumbling networks.
With fascinating insight into the parts of Britain that you hardly ever see - such as the guts of the Humber Bridge to the underground power cable tunnels housed below the Olympic park - Evan discovers why it is so essential that our infrastructure develops to keep up with our ever expanding and changing nation. Travelling across the country he meets some of the nation's best engineers and architects and examines the scale of the challenges we face in future proofing Britain.
Dr Leslie Budd, Reader in Social Enterprise at The Open University and one of Academic Advisors for the series said, "This series follows on from the previous co-production Made in Britain and challenges the conventional wisdom that the UK cannot design, build and manage large infrastructure projects. At a time of austerity, building new and improving existing infrastructure is being promoted as a possible solution to our economic problems. The analysis and insight of Built in Britain makes a major contribution to our understanding and education of the complex challenges we all face."
In episode one, Evan looks at the cost implications of updating our infrastructure and the complexities faced when trying to decide what to build today for the Britain of tomorrow. He meets Phyllis, one of the vast burrowing machines carving out the tunnels for London's Crossrail and visits the valve towers of Britain's biggest man made reservoir.
The final episode focuses on Britain's engineering triumphs - such as the Olympic Park and High Speed One, and examines what it takes to deliver a successful engineering project. Evan visits a site where new technology is being trialed to increase the efficiency of existing motorways and railways and asks – has Britain finally rediscovered its great tradition of epic engineering?
