A great opinion piece from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editorial Board. It discusses our work with the Cover the Commonwealth Campaign. While Governor Corbett has proposed Healthy PA, we are advocating for full Medicaid Expansion to help the 500,000 uninsured people across PA.
Mr. Corbett, an early opponent of Obamacare, … proposed Healthy PA, which would allow those individuals to buy private insurance with help from federal subsidies. That plan depends on approval from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and, despite some adaptations made by the governor, it's still in limbo. And so are hundreds of thousands of families.
The measure approved by the state House committee meets in the middle. It would allow the federal expansion to go forward at the same time Mr. Corbett is trying to get the OK for his plan.
Likewise, the Cover the Commonwealth Campaign — made up of 130 organizations — today will announce a middle-ground proposal that would allow the expansion to go into effect at least until there is a verdict for Healthy PA.

Important fact about CLAYS
Clay is not just clay, there are various different sorts.
All types come from the transformation of metamorphous or eruptive parents rocks such as : granite, gneiss, trachyte.
The following is encountered :
- Transformed clay in situ, that is to say the parent rock has been turned into clay over thousands of years.
In this type of formation, the transformation is rarely complete, and often the presence of loose silicia, which can be inconvenient due to its abrasiveness, can be noted. This implies that if we treat by cleaning and spin separation, pratically all Kaolins undergo the treatment.
- Sedimentary types of clay which are formed by the erosion of older clay which is then washed away by water. The lightest parts are carried further than the heavier, and this causes a sort of natural purification, meaning that sedimentary clay is much less contaminated by silicia.
Clay is always a simple or complex silicate of aluminium, magnesium and iron.
Irrespective of the type it can be differently coloured.
In fact the colouring is due to the presence either of ferrous or ferric iron, or of other contaminants, albeit in very small quantities, which in no way affect the physico-chemical properties of the clay.
There are four big families :
Double layers : Kaolinites or Halloysites.
In this class electronic microscope show "plate stacks" for the kaolin. In the case of the Haloycite these same plates rolled up like a jam roll lend a fibric appearance.
Pseudo-layers ( fibric clay ), attapulgites, sepiolites.
Analysis by electronic microscope shows interwining of fibres with the following sizes : 2 to 5 µm ( µm = one millionth of a metre ) for attapulgite and 5 to 10 µm for sepiolites.
Triples layers, comprising two families :
Glauconites illites ( non gonflant because of the fixed inter reticular space ) and smectites ( montmorillonites/bentonites and beidellites ) which can be gonflant because the space between the layers is variable.
Looking at these two families under the electronic microscope one sees many rough layers.
Different types of clay cannot be identified precisely by classical chemical analysis. In fact, two sorts of clay can have the same type of chemical analysis whilst being in themselves completely different ( for example attapulgites and montmorillonites or bentonites in the same quarry at different heights in the stratigraphy can have exactly the same chemical analysis ).
The only precise way of identifying them is therefore X diffraction which in measuring the space between two layers lets us classify the mineral with confidence.

New Faces in the African Union
The African Union's 28th summit, held in Addis Ababa from 22 to 31 January 2017, saw the election of the organisation's new leadership team while Morocco controversially rejoined the pan-African body after a 30-year hiatus. The summit highlighted ongoing contestation of core African Union governance principles while offering a critique of President Trump's US travel ban on citizens of three African countries.
New African Union leadership finally elected
AU Commission (AUC) elections were six months overdue after the vote at the previous summit in Rwanda saw no candidate for chairperson secure the requisite two-thirds majority of AU members, a process also conditioned by sub-regional rivalries. The rescheduled vote attracted three additional—and more palatable—candidates, with Chad's Foreign Minister Moussa Faki Mahamat taking seven rounds to prevail as new AUC chairperson against fancied competitors from Kenya and Senegal.
Mr Faki—a former chair of the AU's Economic, Social and Cultural Council and a former prime minister of his country—will take up his four-year term at the AUC after a three-month transitional period. Chad has in recent years been proactive in tackling violent jihadism in the Sahel region, including contributions to regional military operations in Mali and, closer to home, against Boko Haram. Mr Faki's election will likely bring renewed AU focus to the Sahel's complex challenges.
Mr Faki replaces outgoing AUC Chair Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma of South Africa—the first woman to hold the position—who declined to run for a second term. She is expected to return home to contest the leadership of the ruling African National Congress and from there the South African presidential elections in 2019, where if successful she would succeed her ex-husband Jacob Zuma.
Dlamini-Zuma's record at the AUC is mixed following her controversial election in 2012. Her main achievements include producing the AU's long-term integration and development strategy, Agenda 2063, as well as strongly promoting the rights of women and girls across Africa. Yet she is also accused by critics of being a poor communicator, not leading effectively on a number of key crises and being pre-occupied with South African politics.
At the Summit, Dr Dlamini-Zuma criticised the Trump administration's 90-day travel ban on citizens from three Muslim-majority AU member states—Libya, Sudan and Somalia—by juxtaposing how "the very country to whom our people were taken as slaves during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, have now decided to ban refugees from some of our countries". In this unpredictable era, US-AU relations—particularly regarding trade, migration and counter-terrorism—will involve a difficult but intriguing set of negotiations for Mr Faki and his new AUC leadership team.
Morocco controversially rejoins
The AU's re-admittance of Morocco as its 55th member state further expands a regional organisation already comprising over one quarter of the world's states and housing over 1.2 billion people. Morocco had in 1984 withdrawn from the Organisation of African Unity, the AU's predecessor, in protest at that body's recognition of the independence of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) or Western Sahara—a disputed territory that Morocco annexed in 1975 claiming historical ownership. Western Sahara, a full AU member, is currently recognised by the UN as a non-self-governing territory.
The return of Morocco—the last major non-AU country in Africa—will likely bring much needed additional human and financial resources to the body and will further the AU's mandate of achieving continental unification and integration. But among some member states the move raised questions about the AU's commitment to its own principles of supporting the self-determination of colonised peoples in Africa. Ultimately, Morocco's return was supported by 39 AU members including the SADR government, with the move a potential circuit-breaker in resolving the long-running dispute.
The Gambia and ICC withdrawal
The summit revealed ongoing contestation of other core AU governance principles. The recent political crisis in The Gambia posed a clear test for the African Governance Architecture—the AU's framework for promoting democracy and potentially coercively supporting democratic transitions of power. Gambian President Yahya Jammeh, in power for 22 years and with a poor governance record, lost the December 2016 election but refused to cede power to winning opponent Adama Barrow. After a tense stand-off, a broken deadline and the swearing in of Mr Barrow in The Gambia's embassy in neighbouring Senegal, the sub-regional Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) succeeded—through a mixture of intense diplomacy and the imminent threat of military intervention—in having Mr Jammeh back down and go into exile, allowing Mr Barrow to assume power peacefully.
The AU and United Nations actively supported this West African-led intervention through the organisational frameworks of subsidiarity and regional integration. Mo Ibrahim, the Sudanese founder of the highly-regarded Ibrahim Index of African Governance, commended these collective actions because they "illustrate the value of meaningful regional integration on our continent". For the AU, this relative success for its emerging interventionist approach to the promotion of democratic change in Africa is contrasted with a number of other cases across the continent in which such an approach has not been applied robustly or consistently.
The AU Assembly also adopted a non-binding strategy for the collective withdrawal of African states from the International Criminal Court (ICC), following years of tension between the court and a number of African governments who oppose the court's ability to indict sitting African heads of state. This opposition also undermines the AU's own stated principles of human rights and accountable governance. Critics also cite the perceived 'African bias' of the court as a form of neo-colonialism. One proposed solution to this stand-off is the empowering of a competent AU legal mechanism—which would operate as a median between African states and the ICC—to try international crimes on the continent. While this resonates with the AU's position of finding 'African solutions' to regional crises, it would need to demonstrate a commitment to collectively holding African leaders accountable for their actions—perhaps following the example of the coercive African-led response to The Gambia.
Australia's AU engagement
For its part, Australia was represented at the Summit by Minister for International Development and the Pacific Islands, Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, who addressed the AU Executive Council's pledging AU$1 million towards developing a Gender Equality Observatory in partnership with the AUC. As with Labor governments' courting of the crucial African-bloc of UN votes during the recent campaign for a UN Security Council seat, Ms Fierravanti-Wells was too on a mission to present Australia's case for a 2018-20 seat on the UN Human Rights Council.
It will be interesting to see if this campaign is as successful, given the relative disengagement from Africa by Coalition governments since 2013. In a global environment in which traditional alliances and alignments are being fractured and potentially redrawn, Australia might be well advised to strengthen its partnerships with African states and regional institutions.

Pam Beesly: Villain
Oh Pam. Pam-a-lamma ding dong. The sweet receptionist that stole hearts with her witty shenanigans in The Office is one of the most beloved characters in television history…or is she actually a villain?
A self-proclaimed expert on a generation's best comedy, the thought never crossed my mind until today. I blame it all on Ryen Russillo.
Cheated on Roy
Led Jim on for years
Jealous of Katy
Back w/ Roy but awkward about Karen
Lied to coworkers and management about Office Administrator position
Jim supported her dream, she asked him to give up on his
Harrassed Danny
Had emotional connection w/ camera man…
— Russillo (@ryenarussillo) May 12, 2018
The revelation rocked my world. Is up actually down? Does Louisville actually have morals? Surely it cannot be!
The first show I ever binged through, the tension Pam created had me hooked from day one. A college freshman who was perpetually locked in the friend zone, I desperately sought to find a perfect connection with my Pam. But who wants to be a Toby Flenderson? Nobody. It turns out that it wasn't a me problem; it was a Pam problem.
Once a beloved fan favorite, Russillo exposed Beesly for the fraud she is. Beesly is a villain, one who deserves to fall down The Office Character Power Rankings:
1. Creed Bratton
2. Dwight Schrute
3. Michael Scott
4. Kevin Malone
5. Jim Halpert
6. Darryl Philbin
7. Meredith Palmer
8. Phyllis Vance
9. Ryan Howard
10. Kelly Kapoor
11. Stanley Hudson
12. Oscar Martinez
13. Pam Beesly
14. Angela Martin
15. Andy Bernard
16. Toby Flenderson
Feel free to disagree. Just know it's okay to let the hate out of your heart for Pamela Beesly Halpert.

I finally had a few minutes to carve two new blocks and print them onto fabric. I love birds, so I started with a sketch of a long legged bird I made the other day while waiting in the car for the middl'n to get out of school. I also have a (perhaps weird) fascination with/love of asterisks. So I drew up a funky one of those, too, and added it next to my bird.
I used black fabric paint to print the bird on natural, undyed linen. I did a test version on scrap first. After printing about two rows of the birds, I realized I wanted to add in a larger asterisk between the birds, so I carved a larger version of the asterisk. I stuck with black for printing that, too. I am very pleased with how this fat quarter turned out! I hope the recipient likes it, too.
I put my handprinted fabric in a muslin drawstring bag with a couple other handprinted goodies inside. I'll ship it off the next time I am near the post office.

Yoga has become a trend for the fitness conscious population especially woman and as a result various yoga training centers have mushroomed in every city and urban area. In order to be as light and comfortable as possible the right kind of yoga clothes are necessary.
Yoga clothes should be comfortable and should not be too revealing. It should cover the body modestly. The cotton blend tank tops which are stretchable and hug the torso region are suitable. The tops with loose necklines or collars are not desirable. Bra support should be built in a yoga top for women.
Yoga pant with an elastic waist is suitable. Yoga pants for women are also available in foldable waist version which imparts additional comfort. Yoga pants in Capri style are preferred by both men and women. Yoga clothing come in a variety of colours and prints.
Very loose pants should be avoided during yoga as they can slide off so should shorts because they tend to move up during inversion poses.
Some of the varieties of yoga clothes for woman are: Enhearten tank top, Enlighten tight and Wunder under pant.
Another important feature to be kept in mind is that the clothes should be worn in layers in order to keep warm. Yoga clothes such as pants made up of thick fabric can be worn to the office as they resemble leggings and are perfect for wearing to the office and even meetings.

As a community, we've got a lot to celebrate.
Big wins over the past few years have included marriage equality and increased transgender visibility.
Yet our march for equality and justice goes on. The question is: Will our lungs get us there?
The numbers paint a grim picture.
LGBTQ Coloradans are TWICE as likely to smoke compared to straight people. While the smoking rate for all Coloradans has decreased by nearly 5 percent from 2004 to 2014, the rate of smoking in our community remains the same.
Why are LGBTQ people so much more likely to use tobacco?
For the same reasons straight people smoke: stress, mostly. But our stress is different.
Many people can't relate to the stress of being discriminated against. The stress of not being accepted by your family. The stress of being singled out for abuse for who you are.
But we know all about that. It's no surprise that one in three of us seeks out a cigarette to relieve the stress.
But it's killing us–literally. Smoking-related disease claims the lives of 30,000 LGBTQ people every year.
You may not be used to asking for help. We didn't get to where we are today without fighting every step of the way.
But nicotine is different. It's one of the most addictive substances around. Most people try several times before they finally quit for good.
Whether you're ready to quit, just considering it, or you've tried to quit a dozen times, learn about resources to help you quit, get the facts about smoking in the LGBTQ community, and connect to others who share the struggle.
Because at the end of the day, it's our strength as a community that pushes us forward on tough social issues like equality, and tough personal ones, like tobacco.
Here's what you can do:
- Not a smoker? Talk to friends who are. No lectures, just offer the facts and tell them you'll support them when they're ready to quit. Tell them there are free resources–including coaching and medication–when they're ready.
- Stop smoking socially. You might think it's no big deal to bum a cig when you're out, but the truth is that it puts you on the path to addiction. It's a lot easier to stop now than when you become addicted.
- Learn how to quit. Maybe you're not ready to quit; that's OK. Even if you're just thinking about it, you can talk to someone for free about what to expect. The Colorado Quitline offers counseling and free quit medications like nicotine patches or gum.
- Ready to quit? With support, you can control the cravings and quit for good. The Colorado QuitLine offers free quit medication and coaching by phone. If that sounds old school, check out the This is Quitting app.
The fight–for equality and for the health of our community–continues.

Your application accepts customer orders via various ordering channels and forwards the transaction data (amount, name of service, phone number, etc.) to the mdex Mobile Payment Platform. It checks which network operator the customer belongs to and then requests authorisation for the transaction. Once authorised by the mobile network provider, the goods can be dispatched. The mobile customer is the charge via their mobile phone bill (post-paid) or immediately (pre-paid).
All the service features at a glance:
- Interfaces to all german networks
Telekom, Vodafone, Telefonica/O2/E-Plus
and Mobilcom/Debitel
- Best Revenue Routing
- Transaction overview (Telekom)
- Online statistics
- WEB- / WAP-Billing
- SMS-Billing
mdex mobile Payment solutions
Our solutions at a glance
Mobile Payment
Best Revenue
mdex mobile payment makes it possible to host pre-existing factoring contracts with network operators. To do so, mdex connects to the network operator on behalf of the service provider and assumes all technical processing. When it comes to hosting, the dividends remain with the service provider.
Mobile Payment Hosting
Mobile Payment
Best Revenue
The convenient way of billing with maximum revenue: The service provider provides mdex with the phone number of the end customer for the purposes of billing. The mdex Mobile Payment Platform uses the phone number to check via BRB not only the customer's network operator affiliation (MNP), but also whether they can be reached via a service provider. The billing solution also automatically determines which channel will generate the greatest revenue.
Best Revenue Billing
If the end customer can be reached via a service provider and if the returns are greater than they would be with billing via the network operator, the system enters a posting immediately. All that is required for billing via BRB is a corresponding billing contract with the service providers.
Billing Mediation
Development of innovative billing processes
Adjustments to billing processes normally take far more time than developing the actual services. This often leads to a requirement to outsource these billing processes. When it comes to this, mdex is a competent point of contact that can act as a bridge between innovative services and the billing system of the mobile network provider. This means adjustments to the existing core billing system can be avoided and the time-to-market accelerated as a result.
We add to your billing infrastructure
Thanks to pre-existing connections to the billing systems of network operators and GSM service providers, the required processes can be implemented there quickly and without any great loss of efficiency.
The postings necessary for the transactions (both accounts receivable/accounts payable as well as pre-paid/post-paid) are carried out by mdex directly and, thereby making a practical addition to the existing billing infrastructure of the mobile provider. One example of a such a billing mediation solution is the linking of various service providers to one mobile network operator mobile payment interface via mdex. The postings are made in relation to mdex billing system as opposed to that of the service provider, thereby guaranteeing increased security. The operator is relieved of the service provider technical support.

An Unnecessary Surgery: A Devastating Result
October 30-November 15, 2007
October 30, 2007, I went to an outpatient surgery center to have a sinus polyp removed. I hadn't known that I had a sinus polyp until the ENT I was seeing told me that I did. I had gone to see him for tinnitus (ear ringing). He had ordered some scans and had found a polyp. He had said that he'd fix that "deviated septum" while he was removing the polyp. I had not known that I had a deviated septum, either. I thought the septum was just that divider between the nostrils. I had envisioned Dr. S. clipping the polyp with a long wire snaked up my nose, as I slept on the operating table. Dr. S. had removed a cyst from my scalp the previous week, in the same surgery center, without knocking me out, or even cutting any hair.
Though Dr. S. had not mentioned it, there had been something on the surgery order about a turbinate reduction. I had tried to look that up on the Internet, and had not found a definition. The term appeared on sites having to do with sinus surgery, so I assumed it was something connected to removing a polyp—probably just trimming of a little swollen tissue right next to the polyp. It worried me enough that I called his office and asked his assistant what it was, but when she sucked in her breath, I said, "Never mind." I thought I was being difficult. Dr. S. had snapped at me, "Don't ask stupid questions!" the day that he had ordered the surgery, and I was still shaken and upset about it.
I know. Why didn't I walk out of his office when he spoke to me like that? The answer is that I had suffered a recent carbon monoxide exposure—hence, the ear ringing. I was not in my right mind. Dr. S. was informed of the CO poisoning.
After the surgery, I was sent home—driven there by a friend–with a prescription for painkillers and an instruction sheet, which I was in no shape to read. The next day, I drove myself back to Dr. S.'s office, in a drug haze, because one of his nasal splints had collapsed. He removed both splints. Normally, they are kept in for a week to maintain the shape of the nose. My nostrils have never matched since the surgery, I assume, because one of the splints collapsed that first night. I called the surgery center the next day because I noticed that my nostrils were pulled up. My nose had a porcine look which I hoped was temporary. Interestingly, when I later acquired my records from the surgery center, this call, and the reason for it, was notated in the tiniest hand printing I have ever seen.
I tried to follow the instructions and I slept. The instructions disturbed me. I was required to buy a bottle of nasal spray and use it daily, for a week. Wobbling through the drug store, I was dismayed to be searching for a product that I had never before, in my life, needed or used. It didn't seem right.
Sometime in the next two drowsy weeks, I woke up suffocating, my nose parched, my lungs unable to draw a satisfying breath. I called the doctor and made an appointment. He told me that everything looked fine. The next week, I called, again. And the week after that. "If you had atrophic rhinitis," he said. "You'd smell like a dead moose. I'd be able to smell you clear out in the waiting room."
Atrophic rhintis? What was that? I looked it up on the Internet, and found this site: http://www.utmb.edu/otoref/Grnds/Atrophic-Rhinitis-050330/Atrophic-Rhinitis-050330.htm. It describes an incurable rotting condition of the nasal cavity, involving crusts, bleeding, a purulent discharge and a nauseating stench. "Sinus surgery alone comprises 90% of secondary AR…" People with atrophic rhinitis can be smelled blocks away, but they cannot smell the odor themselves due to anosmia—loss of smell.
I was now in the stage of the instructions wherein I was irrigating my sinsuses with saline several times daily. This, too, unnerved me, when I read it—I was required to what? Make a solution of salt water, and squirt it up one nostril, and then the other, with a bulb syringe, and spit it out my mouth? Why should I be doing this? I had never had a sinus problem in my life! The irrigations were washing out blood, pus and crusts. The sight of this mess combined with my suffering was terrifying. What had this man done?
I was nauseous and weak, and I'd had diarrhea ever since the surgery. It was a struggle to stand up in the bathroom, and get through the irrigations. I couldn't get the hang of it. I was spitting the saline all over the bathroom mirror. I had to keep resting, and returning to the chore, before it was completed. Then I had to clean the bathroom. I felt that my conditions were unsanitary, and that I should be in a sterile environment. I felt that I should have help.
I was nauseous, and couldn't eat. I went to the grocery and bought loaves of French bread, which I gobbled down to kill off hunger pangs. A near-vegan before the surgery, now the only other thing I could eat was Wendy's hamburgers and chili. It passed right through me.
For the first time in my life, I had arthritis pain. It started the week after the surgery. I woke in the early morning hours with excruciating pain in my hips and lower back. My breathing was so compromised that I could sleep only a few hours, but the pain in my bones would have prevented sleep, anyway. When I went to the bathroom, in the night, my knees hurt so badly I couldn't get up.
I was in agony. The suffocation and nasal dryness were so intense, I felt my head would explode. The pain in my head was horrific. Every day—every minute—was a challenge to get through it. I couldn't speak for more than a few minutes. After that, I squeaked, whispered, or could make no sound. I cried often, though not for long, because it made my nose feel awful. I could not produce mucous, and my nose felt strained and puny.

Thank you all for sharing. I have fungal sinusitis and it is driving me crazy, but after reading the primary writer's story along with the stories from comments my heart is breaking for all of you.
Hardened sociopathic home invaders, serial killers, rapists, etc are less frightening than the crimes of some of our most respected doctors. And the doctors are doing more damage.
It makes me want to be a recluse.
Also, I noticed that only one person said "It was great surgery, Im so happy, blah blah blah"
I have recently learned from a confessed former hired "shill" that there are businesses who solicit people to post on websites trying to change opinions.
I think that is one of them and I am glad he was ignored. That is the best thing to do.
People reporting their true experience and then everyone talking about it is the only way to combat their secrecy and power.
For all of you that have suffered I hope you can see that you now have a mission to spread the word.
Still I am so sorry that everyone had to go through this. Prayers
I had a septoplasty, with turbinate reduction as well. I went to work the next day. Definitely didn't have any lingering issues. I did have to irrigate several times a day for the first few weeks, but I can breathe better now than I ever could before.
I guess surgery is different for everybody.
Use Ponaris, it is a nasal oil based lubricant. I also had a septoplasty and I suffer from very dry eyes and dry nose, also congested where the bony work was done on the right side. A spur was removed and the deviated septum was fixed. It had been eight months and I have trigeminal neuralgia, facial pain and cluster headache, never had these before, the neurologist put me on eiptol and verapamil. I am also on XIIdra eye drops and preservative free refresh tears. I hat this surgery, was the worst in my life….
Omgs! I had sinus surgery 8mths ago and experience same thg u went thru. I had blood clots filled my face and kept going back to Dr and she made me feel like i was making it up. I was n her office.at least 2-3 x's a week. She said it had scab over and that's why nothing was coming out. Every thg i was experiencing was normal! I would lay n bed and cry i hurt so bad! I lost my job cause i didn't know day by day if i could work. I was n so much pain and depressed i wanted to end my life !this went on 5 mths. She did CT and never saw it but got phone call from office saying there was a lot of mucous and put me on a machine with antibodies and steroids. Which cost me 200.00 a. Mth! So i called after a mth a said it wasn't working for me i was told i have allergies, ?,,?? Really, I've never had allergies before. So i switch Dr in Jan (working on mth 6) this Dr did 40 day antibiotics and CT on 30th and n his office that day. He didn't even have to enlarge CT to c my nose was zig zag up the right side where I've had nothing but problems. So within that mth I've had surgery done again. I just broke down and cried in his office. He worn me ill b in more pain recovering this time then last time because of the correction work he was going to have to do.it's been almost 2wks sense II've had this done. He said he had to remove a very large polyp and lots of small. Yes i have pain right now but it's nothing i went thru the 1st time. I've been up moving around and even went to the store yesterday: ) i just felt like i was alone in experiencing this, untill i read what you went thru. Thank you for sharing your story: )

Most sinus surgeries are a racket after my sinus surgery I knew something was very wrong so I took the scan I had of my sinuses before surgery to a top ENT. That doctor said, "Your sinuses did not warrant surgery!" I know a top surgeon that works in top facility in the world and he told me straight out 50% of what they do there is fix other doctors screw-ups! Mayo stated that 88%of initial diagnosis is incorrect. Think about that for second The surgeon that did my surgery said he sewed up some flaps in my nose what an idiot seriously these flaps are down for reason duh . Just venting here . I'm wearing a Woody Knows charcoal filter that fits into your nose got it on Amazons it filter the air (they have different types of filters I just chose this one ) if you order make sure you measure your nostril carefully. I also have a humidifier in out bedroom with where in the water I add a few drops pure organic eucalyptus and tea tree essential oil s The nose filters since 97% of viruses comes into through your nose so one needs to replace the bodies filter I think cutting away pieces of the nose is like getting rid of the guards that protect the entry of castle/ .We need a filter to protect us , and it warms the air so that is important. I could write forever on this subject , but here is the solution
The Solution is to find a doctor to fix Empty Nose Syndrome there is one back east, a another doctor in Los Angeles I have my sights set on him because it is a couple hours flight from where I live.
I was going to have inferior turbinate resection surgery in two days but am going to cancel now. I have vasomotor and allergic rhinitis. My turbinates constantly swell and unswell all day and especially at night, contributing to poor sleep. But after reading yours and others story about ens, I am terrified!! I already feel like I have a dry nose especially at night and have to cover my nose with my hand or a sheet during the night for humidification. With ens, feeling like that all day must be hellish. I already have fibromyalgia and arthritis and it becoming worse behind ens is scary. Thank you for sharing your story. I am so sorry you had to go through this terrible ordeal but your bravery and honesty in sharing gives others (me) the info necessary to know what could happen as a result of these nasal surgeries. Thank you again.
OMG! I had the same experience as yours. I was supposed to have a surgery for nasal polyps and sinusitis but it ended up with septoplasty and turbinectomy. I had no idea what turbinates were and I didn't know the guy removed the entire turbinates on my both nose cavity. I am so regret that I didn't do enough research before I proceed with the procedure. It is too late now. I have lost my health, job and family after this disaster. The only thing keeps me alive is the hope of stem cell that one day can all the ENS sufferers. God, please save us!
I don't know if u r still suffering with the nasal dryness but my nasal polyp rival surgery resulted in excessive dryness that necessitates me holding a plastic bottle of nasal solution because I get blocked nasal passages at night resulting in horrible sleep. Ponaris which is a nasal emollient ( look under Amazon. Com is not too bad along with a Allegra -D antihistamine pill in the morning. I truly empathize w u
My nose now sticks up and the nostrils are huge with one larger than other. Always crusty. Remember when you took a shower and after you can blow your nose. Don't even get moisuture in shower. I only can blow it if I cry and then I have some blood. Headaches in front and back of head. I am on phone so sorry for texting spelling. I hate surgeons mine lied about gall bladder he never said mine was functioning. Only odors I detect are bad, nothing tastes good — with teeth e wn water hurts. I wish I could share before and after photos with you. Are you on East Coast. I am in NJ and traveled 4 hours to try to get help. Dentist there wants 15000 no guarantee on pain relief and not addressing the 10 front teeth that have no fillings. I see you started this in 2007 are you better now??
Then… have You solved Your problems?

Dearest fear,
The more I get to know you, the more I get to know your other names. Some of them are obvious aliases. Imposter syndrome, for example, sounds every bit as menacing as you do. But it's your more innocent names that are the most insidious. Names like comfort, convenience, and convention.
I am journaling. I am in the kind of conversation that makes you lean forward and share a piece of your soul. I am so invigorated an idea that it feels like springtime in my mind. I try to sleep, but the thoughts keep blooming. I am awake and alive.
Now it's time to do the work. I package my grandiose vision into bite-sized next steps. You start to ask me questions.
Wouldn't it make more sense to do it this way? That's what everyone else does.
I nod my head in agreement and rework my plan to make it more conventional.
Should you really take on that risk? You're in your building years. Wait until you're completely comfortable. Then you can make this a reality.
I push my timeline back several years.
We go back and forth. You make your case. I acquiesce, letting you mold my life into what "should" be.
And your stroke of genius is that you allow me to do all this without once saying that I'm afraid. Prudent? Yes. Wise? Absolutely. Everything but fearful of what would happen if I actually went for it.
I'm calling both of us out. You don't get to hide behind docile names, and I don't get to give in. I will respond to your questions with questions. I will resist. I will take the best risk and bet on myself.
Kind regards,
P.S. Be the first to get these letters when you sign up for my newsletter.

On the 24th March I met a seven-strong group of Fellow Southamptoners from all backgrounds and Fanjie Meng, a Chinese teacher, at Heathrow, for a last-minute, eight-day trip to China.
Two weeks prior I had received an email about a delegation being sent to Xiamen university, to celebrate the partnership between the two institutions. 'Southampton Day' was to take place at Xiamen, to promote exchange and for the changing nature of the agreement (what this change is exactly I'm not sure, but its probably good).
I replied saying I was interested, and within a week I was told, hey – you can go to China! I just had to fill out the visa form, which took me three tries, and send a few documents.
How free it was, I underestimated. We were wined (extremely strong Chinese liqueur, bai jiu) and dined the whole week, and put up in the lovely campus hotel, which had a phenomenal breakfast.
The trip kicked off with the Southampton Day. There was an opening ceremony with dance, music and speeches. Though I confess, I struggled to stay awake because of my epic jet lag. We then had a campus tour of the very large and beautiful Xiamen campus, and a welcome banquet in the evening with the professors involved, who were all merrily tipsy by the end.
For the rest of the week we had a series of activites very kindly organised for us by the Confucious Institute at Xiamen. This included Tai Chi, Chinese calligraphy (so hard), Chinese knot and paper cut (my paper flower was a very sorry, pointy excuse for a decoration) and trips to nearby sites such as Gulangyu Island and Jimei.
We had a great time, especially with our amazing student volunteers, who were English students at Xiamen, who spoke incredible English and were a lot of fun. We out to a Chinese club, danced to Gangnam style and drunk the very deadly cocktails, all of which seemed to be a lot of spirits with some orange juice.
I'm now applying with vigour for a year-long scholarship to study at Xiamen next year. Xiamen is a stunning university, and one of the best in China. The Confucius institute at Southampton has many scholarships, and is keen to promote links to China, so get on the bandwagon – you could be on the next free trip!
China is an incredibly interesting place. You can really see the speed it's developing, and the insane amount of people there are. Chinese children work so, so hard, with high school starting at 8am and ending at 10pm sometimes, with ten lessons a day. China is so wonderfully different, and it's really worth exploring what possibilities could exist for you if you get involved with the Chinese department at Southampton. I did so by chance, after a 'curriculum innovation' fair last year, deciding to start Mandarin out of curiosity. Now I want to do a year abroad! So, get involved! Here is the website for the Confucius Institute at Southampton (building 58, room 4251), check them out.

Are you for against your state throwing out your vote and giving all of its electoral college votes to the national popular vote winner?
Why would any state agree to that scheme?
14 Answers
- abdulLv 79 months agoFavorite Answer
Against it. The electoral votes are supposed to represent the voters in each state, not the national majority which will always be high population states like NY and CA.
Then those ar 2 more states to add to the whole high population control that would be exerted if the electoral college simply went with majority rule in the national election.
- SkyLv 79 months ago
- Spock (rhp)Lv 79 months ago
no. and my state legislature won't agree to that anyway.
- u_bin_calledLv 79 months ago
this is really just one more thing to get people angry and not talking about jobs, the economy and national security...
the ones who have fought most against Electoral College reform have been the establishment Democrats who worked so hard to lock down group-think voting blocs in densely-populated urban area precisely so that they could out-vote the rest of their state's populations...
look at the voting map of Illinois, for example....Hillary won 10 or 11 of the state's 102 counties... think any of these "reformers" would want to go back and give Trump 8 of Illinois' 20 Electoral votes in the name of "fairness" and "a better reflection of the popular vote?"

A DeSoto woman will spend up to 20 years in prison for soliciting her lover to kill her husband, and then helping him to dispose of the body.
State's Attorney Mike Carr announced last week that Carmen G. Stonemark, 55, was sentenced to serve 17 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for solicitation to commit murder and three for concealment of a homicidal death.
Stonemark will have to serve at least about 16 years of the total sentence and will face four years of supervised release following her prison term.
The charges stemmed from the Oct. 29, 2017, death of her husband, Frank Stonemark of DeSoto. Carr says Carmen Stonemark solicited James Deese, her lover, to kill Frank Stonemark and then assisted him in hiding the body in a remote area of Jackson County.
They also dismembered the body with a chainsaw and burned the remains. In an effort to conceal her activity, Stonemark falsely reported to police that she had been in an argument with her husband and that he got mad and left home.
Last year, the other man, James M. Deese, pleaded guilty to killing and strangling Frank Stonemark.
Deese is scheduled to be sentenced next month.
Man guilty of stealing car in Carbondale last December
On Monday, an Anna man was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for stealing a vehicle in Carbondale.
Carr says that Brandon M. Leek, 28, pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawful possession of a stolen motor vehicle. Leek also faces two years of supervised release.
According to Carr, on Dec. 28, 2018, Carbondale Police responded to a reported vehicle theft in the parking lot area of a shopping center in Carbondale. Leek was seen by a witness stealing a 2003 Buick Regal and driving away.

Carr also announced last week that Kenneth Derossett, 43, of Wolf Lake pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated domestic battery and violating an order of protection.
Derossett was sentenced to serve four years in the Illinois Department of Corrections on the domestic battery charge, and one year for violating the order of protection. Both sentences will run concurrently. Four years of supervised release will follow.
Carr says that on Sept. 16, 2018, Derossett went to the victim's residence and engaged in an argument and altercation with her. During the altercation, he twisted her wrist, forced her to the ground, grabbed her by the neck and picked her up off of the ground, choking her.
Following the entry of an order of protection last October, Derossett was found to have been within 1,000 feet of the victim's residence after having been ordered to stay away.

Day 7: Tuesday, 7/17
Maliseet Trail
The last full day we were camping at Jellystone New Brunswick, I found a hike for us to do! It was less than a 20-minute drive from our campground called the Maliseet Trail, located in Meductic, New Brunswick. It was an out and back moderate trail to a waterfall.
Stanley did an amazing job on the hike. He loves hiking.
Kai's first real hike
It was supposed to take 1.5 hours in total. It took us just under 3 hours:) But we were very proud of Kai. He hiked the WHOLE way to the falls! All by himself. And, he only fell twice! No big gashes or anything. Just a few little scrapes.
We were happy to have made the decision to invest in this teal BabySteps carrier prior to our trip! When Kai was an infant we used the Baby Bjorn, but the max weight was about 25lbs. After he began taking his first steps, we just relied on the stroller and his legs/feet 🙂 This carrier was reasonably priced and holds toddlers up to 44lbs.
I carried the carrier without Kai while hiking, and Michael used it by strapping Kai on his back for hiking.
It was raining heavily so we were all covered in mud when we got back to the truck.
Lunch, Nap & Packing
We packed sandwiches for lunch and ate in the car on the way back to our campground. Kai took a long nap! We were able to transfer him from his car seat to the trailer without a problem.
It rained/thundered a lot that afternoon so we weren't able to go to the water park where we were staying. We were able to just relax inside our Airstream and pack up some stuff so we were ready for our next stop: Fundy National Park!

This year's Bilderberg summit is a council of war. On the agenda: Russia and Iran. In the conference room: the secretary general of Nato, the German defence minister, and the director of the French foreign intelligence service, DGSE.
They are joined in Turin, Italy, by a slew of academic strategists and military theorists, but for those countries in geopolitical hotspots there is nothing theoretical about these talks. Not when the prime ministers of Estonia and Serbia are discussing Russia, or Turkey's deputy PM is talking about Iran.
The clearest indication that some sort of US-led conflict is on the cards is the presence of the Pentagon's top war-gamer, James H Baker. He is an expert in military trends, and no trend is more trendy in the world of battle strategy than artificial intelligence. Bilderberg is devoting a whole session to AI this year – and has invited military theorist Michael C Horowitz, who has written extensively on its likely impact on the future of war.
Horowitz sees AI as "the ultimate enabler". In an article published just a few weeks ago in the Texas National Security Review, he quotes Putin's remark from 2017: "Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world."
Horowitz says "China, Russia, and others are investing significantly in AI to increase their relative military capabilities", because it offers "the ability to disrupt US military superiority". Global military domination is suddenly up for grabs – which brings us to the most intriguing item on this year's Bilderberg agenda: "US world leadership".
The White House is clearly concerned: sending to Bilderberg the National Security Council's director for China, Matthew Turpin. Not that this "gravity shift" to the east is something Turpin could talk about in earshot of Trump.
But here's the thing: this tectonic reshaping of power, in which "the centre of gravity of world affairs" moves from America to China, is a pre-AI concept. The chief executive of Google recently described AI as more significant for humanity than "electricity or fire". What this "all-encompassing revolution" means for traditional power structures is the possibility of utter transformation. It is not just that world leadership will be passed from the US to China like a baton. It is that the whole structure of world leadership might just melt away, or take a form that no one, not even Kissinger, could foresee.
