In November of each year we take the time to celebrate Thanksgiving. This year, the holiday holds special significance given that we remain in the midst of a global pandemic. With millions of individuals unemployed and food banks overwhelmed by the need, I'd like to point your attention to Thanksgiving economics.
The Hungry
Most people underestimate the power and impact of their monetary contribution to those struggling with food insecurities. Truthfully, one dollar can go a long way in making a difference. According to Feeding America, the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization, every dollar donated helps to secure and distribute meals to those facing hunger.
This is critical as a recent report indicated that 51% of low income families, particularly parents, are skipping meals so that their kids don't go hungry. The Education Trust-West supports this data documenting that 36% of parents have skipped meals in order to ensure that there is enough food for their kids. Now more than ever, thanksgiving economics matters.
In light of such, I want to encourage you to find an organization, church, or business that has committed to feeding those in need this thanksgiving. There's no shame in getting the help and support you need, but it's also important that we work together to help make a difference.
Thanksgiving is typically celebrated for 1-3 days, depending on your families traditions. However, this year, thanksgiving economics requires giving and thankfulness beyond this moment. Why? Because in thirty days or less many will face housing crisis and eviction notices. In case you are uninformed, federal and state unemployment benefits are set to expire on December 26, 2020. Additionally, the federal moratoriums against evictions are set to expire on December 31, 2020.
So, while you might be focusing on those without something to eat during this holiday season, let's not forget those facing evictions and homeless. In some shelters $25.00 can fund someone a night of safe shelter along with resident services. Again, I want to encourage you to find an organization, church, or business committed to reaching those in need this Thanksgiving and let's make a difference.
As we enter into this holiday season, think of Thanksgiving economics as a simple idea. Is there something you could do without for a day, week, month or even year in order to make a difference in the life of someone else? I'm not talking about some big ticket or costly item. Actually, to be honest, it might not even be a thing you have to sacrifice. Just remember understand that your small contribution of a few dollars during this pandemic can drastically change a life.

Great work done by these Bay Area high school kids. Here's more from the San Francisco Chronicle:
They weren't dealing with classroom pets. Instead, the 17-year-olds were taking care of some the state's last remaining coho salmon at a fish hatchery right on the school's campus. Last month, wildlife officials moved around 4,000 endangered coho to the school's cool, indoor tanks after conditions at a hatchery in nearby Lake Sonoma became unhealthy because of the drought. The high school will receive an additional 650 endangered coho trucked in from Santa Cruz in the coming weeks.
"We have this opportunity to save coho salmon, to see that we can do it, if people put their minds to it," said Cathryn Carlson, 17, president of a nonprofit called United Anglers of Casa Grande, which runs the hatchery. Carlson, who goes by Kate, had just put on boots and waders before hopping into one tank's chest-deep water to scrub its windows.

Documentary to premiere on National Coming Out Day
"Out here In Kansas" premiers in Wichita on National Coming Out Day
This year's National Coming Out Day will see the world premiere of "Out Here In Kansas," a documentary exploring the relationship between Christians and the gay community. The premier was originally planned for the Kansas International Film Festival in November, which is reflected in The Gayly October print issue (documentary review, page 30).
The premiere will be on Tues., Oct. 11 at Roxy's Downtown, 422 ½ E. Douglas in Wichita. Doors at Roxy's will open at 6 p.m. for those wishing to order dinner and drinks. A social hour begins at 6:30 and the half-hour documentary will be shown at 7:30, followed by a filmmakers Q&A around 8 p.m. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door.
"Out Here in Kansas" is based on a pair of news articles, published 14 years apart by longtime journalist Adam Knapp, who directed the film. It centers around three people:
• Burt Humburg, a fundamentalist Christian who realized he was gay as he was winding up his career as an All-American football player.
• Joe Wright, Burt and Adam's former pastor, who was instrumental in making gay marriage illegal in Kansas.
• Adam Knapp himself, who felt God put him in a unique position to seek answers from the polar opposites and tell their story.
Knapp arranged for Humburg and Wright to have a discussion. It was the first time they'd interacted in nearly 20 years. In the meantime, Knapp unexpectedly became part of the story.
"Out Here In Kansas" will appear in the Kansas International Film Festival Nov. 4-10 in Overland Park. For more information, or to see the trailer, visit OutHereInKansas.com.
About the director:Adam Knapp has been a journalist his entire adult life and has worked in all mediums of news: print, television, radio and online. He won three national sportswriting awards for the Wichita Eagle and has covered more than 300 Wichita State basketball games. He also created, edited and eventually sold a newspaper in Andover. His first attempt at screenwriting, a dark comedy called "Cinderella Boy," advanced to the worldwide quarterfinals of Final Draft's Big Break contest. "Out Here In Kansas" is the first film he's directed.Contact: Adam Knapp, (316) 390-0681

The White House has decided not to separate the National Security Agency and the U.S. Cyber Command after an interagency review found the current setup to be the "most effective approach to accomplishing both agencies' missions."
White House National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement that with Gen. Keith Alexander planning to retire this spring, it made sense to review the relationship between the two organizations and decide if having one dual-hatted leader continued to make sense.
"By virtue of their relationship, Cyber Command is able to fully leverage NSA's cryptologic enterprise to direct the operation and defense of DoD networks, enabling a more coordinate and rapid response to countering threats in cyberspace," Hayden said. "Without the dual-hat arrangement, elaborate procedures would have to be put in place to ensure that effective coordination continued and avoid creating duplicative capabilities in each organization."
The White House came under pressure to review this relationship in light of information released by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden about programs and initiatives to collect data.
Join us for a panel discussion on Oct. 10 with Tom Temin, agency leaders and Illumio's Gary Barlet who will discuss the latest thinking in achieving mission assurance and data protection using zero trust, segmentation and monitoring strategies. Register today!
A senior administration official added the White House is reviewing the government's processes around signals intelligence, but while this decision was related, it was not part of that effort. President Barack Obama called for this review in August. A report and recommendations are due to the President by Dec. 15. The recommendations will cover whether the U.S. "employs its technical collection capabilities in a manner that optimally protects our national security and advances our foreign policy while appropriately accounting for other policy considerations, such as the risk of unauthorized disclosure and our need to maintain the public trust."
The official said once Alexander retires, the NSA and Cyber Command leader will continue to be a military officer.
Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates created the Cyber Command in 2009 and ordered the NSA director to lead both organizations.
Hayden said the goal, at that time, was to unify the leadership of the organization responsible for signal intelligence and defending the nation in cyberspace.

Loom UX updates
We have been working on the next phase of Loom which will be live soon. Whilst we were on the tools pulling it together we thought it worthwhile to make small changes to improve the user experience. We have conducted some user testing and dug up a few pain points that we have addressed in this phase. This is what we have done:
Users wanted an understanding of what to expect when they landed in the experience. So we have changed the landing page from text about the project to include full screen images. A new image will load every time you refresh the page. As the first phase of Loom is all about the visual experience of the collection images we felt that full screen images should be visible at the start.
As the content loads there are a few quotes telling you what stage the loading is at. These are some examples:
Users were finding the navigation of the site difficult with information hierarchy unclear. The information about the project is now accessible via the tabs at the left: this includes copy for the four sections DATA, ABOUT, MAKERS and VIEWS. In the previous version the information about the project and the different views was only accessible on the landing page and via two small icons after users entered the data visualisation. Now that the site vitals are on the different tabs (top left) users can access this information easily whilst still maintaining a minimal design approach.
The next design change was to the information available at the back of the 'library card', previously this was flipped to view. There was something nice about the nostalgia associated with the library card but it was difficult for a user to access the information about the collection item. This information is now available right next to the image with all the same functionality of saving a favourite and linking off to the online catalogue. A user first approach means striving for an intuitive interface that requires less clicks.
We hope you enjoy these changes and stay tuned as we are getting ready to go live with the next and final phase for Loom.

A husband who tried to murder his wife by stabbing her after telling her he had 'a present' for her has been jailed for 13-and-a-half years.
Shaun May was said to be ashamed at having been caught stealing from his employer when he plunged a kitchen knife into Laura May within minutes of having sex at their home in Tunbridge Wells.
A court heard that as she lay on her back, May placed a tea towel over her eyes and invited her to guess what his 'gift' was.
He then slowly counted down from 10 before uttering 'Come on Shaun' to himself in encouragement and stabbing his wife of 14 months between her shoulder and neck.
Tunbridge Wells husband convicted of attempted murder after covering wife's eyes and stabbing her in bed
Such force was used that the blade penetrated through her body and the handle snapped off.
Mrs May, still with her eyes closed, initially thought the clamping-like sensation on her body was a puppy clawing at her.
But she then felt a cold, metallic sensation, Maidstone Crown Court, was told.
As she screamed, with blood trickling down her back, her husband chillingly told her: "This is real."
Mrs May managed to get out of bed, the knife having been removed, to see May with a knife in each hand threatening to stab himself.
When she asked why he had attacked her, he told her he had been fired over financial irregularities and was worried about paying the mortgage.
May, 34, denied attempted murder but the jury found him unanimously guilty at his trial last month.
He sat in the dock with his head bowed throughout Mrs May's evidence, but chose not to give his own account of what happened on the morning of October 9 last year.
On passing sentence, Judge Philip St.John-Stevens said that the stabbing of his wife, who he held 'almost on a pedestal', was part of a 'determination or decision' to kill himself resulting from the shame of being caught stealing at work.
But he added: "Why you were in that state of mind that you formed an intent to take the life of another, a person you were meant to love and still love it appears, is not clear."
"This was a violation of the trust and security that exists between people in an intimate relationship.
"Laura May lay in bed where she should feel safe and secure knowing that her husband is in that house. That trust has gone.
"You are struggling to understand yourself, that someone you had so much respect, devotion and admiration for and still do, that you could intend to take their own life."
The court heard Mrs May was seeking a divorce but as of March this year he was yet to agree.
Of her account to the jury, Judge St.John-Stevens said she had been 'brave, fair and objective'.
Prosecutor Robin Griffiths said it was 'sheer good fortune rather than fine judgment' that May did not inflict a life-threatening injury to his wife.
Although no bone, organ or vital blood vessels were penetrated, the blade was close to both a carotid artery and jugular vein.
The couple had been together for six years at the time of the murder bid at their home in Station Road.
Mrs May, who works in a school, told the court they enjoyed a good relationship and did not argue, other than 'to bicker over the washing up'.
"We really loved each other," she added.
Just five days earlier, they had returned from South Korea where they had attended the wedding of Mrs May's brother.
She said the early morning knife attack was 'totally unexpected and a complete shock'.
At one stage Mrs May had even asked her husband if she would like his gift and quizzed him as to what it might be.
Giving evidence for the prosecution, she told the court: "I said to him 'This had better be a puppy' because we had talked about having one but he said 'It's not a puppy'.
"Then it was just silent and I suddenly felt a pressure on my shoulder. I thought an animal had been thrown on me, something was clawing at me.
"I was screaming 'I can't get it off, I can't get it off'. I must have reached up there at some point and realised there was nothing there, no animal.
'This is real'
"But there was something rectangular in there. I thought it was a clamp or some kind of Halloween prop because I could feel blood trickling down.
"I said 'This isn't real' and he said 'This is real'. He was calm."
The court heard the couple had been to work on October 8 and shared a takeaway pizza while watching TV that evening.
She woke about 5am the next day to her husband coming into the bedroom, saying he had heard a noise downstairs.
They then became intimate before May told his wife he had a present for her, to close her eyes and to roll onto her back.
He then placed a tea towel over her eyes but left it untied.
Mrs May told the jury she believed her husband was kneeling next to her as his voice was very close.
She then recalled hearing a 'dinging' sound.
"I didn't know what it was and I think I said 'Is it a plate?' because I like having different plates, and he said 'No, it's not a plate'," Mrs May said.
Her phone then vibrated but she said May told her to ignore it.
'I won't make you wait any longer'
She continued to lay on the bed, her eyes closed and covered, waiting for 'her present' for about 10 minutes, she added.
"I think I kept asking him questions like 'Come on, what is it? Am I going to like this?' and he said 'Yes'.
"Then I got fed up of waiting, got angry and rolled over. I kept my eyes shut but flung off the tea towel.
"Shaun said 'I was going to do it then. I won't make you wait any longer. Come on, roll onto your back'.
"He then pulled the duvet covers down, exposing the top part of my shoulders. My eyes were still shut.
"The cloth had been put back on but I couldn't remember if I did that or he did.
"Because I had just got a bit annoyed he said 'Come on Shaun, come on Shaun' and then he started counting down from 10 very slowly.
"There would be a gap and the lower he got he went into decimals. I got annoyed because I was waiting.
"He counted down two or three times but he never reached zero."
Mrs May could not recall how or when the knife was removed.
She saw her husband standing with a knife in each hand, his arms by his sides and threatening to stab himself.
But despite her bleeding wound she screamed at him to put the knives down and asked why he had stabbed her.
May told his wife he had been fired from work the previous day after his boss had discovered he had used the company account to order personal goods from Amazon.
Asked about his demeanour, Mrs May told the jury: "He was upset about the fact he had lost his job and seemed more worried about that.
"He said something like 'You are not going to be with me now. Look what I've done'. I was in complete shock and said 'It's fine. We will get through this'."

May then drove his wife to the A&E department at the nearby Pembury Hospital where Mrs May, unaware how seriously she was injured, told staff she had tripped and fallen onto a knife.
However, when her account was challenged by a doctor she broke down in tears.
The court heard May stayed with his wife throughout her wait in hospital until police arrived to arrest him.
"They came and took Shaun. That's the last time I saw him," she added.
The court heard May told an officer at the hospital of his work problems before adding: "I picked up the knife and rather than injure myself I took it out on Laura."
While in custody he was seen by a psychiatric nurse and when asked about what had happened with his wife, May replied it was 'a sobering moment'.
He has since been diagnosed with a personality disorder brought on by the shame of losing his job.
The prosecutor told the jury May, who had admitted the less serious offence of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, had every intention to kill his wife when he stabbed her.
Mr Griffiths said the countdown and exhaltation 'Come on Shaun' meant he must have realised 'the enormity of what he was about to do'.
"What else could he have possibly have had in mind at that moment other than to kill her," added Mr Griffiths.

'the first true imperial theologian, Eusebius of Caesarea, who was promoted to Bishop by Constantine, described the unipolar world which the Christianisation of Rome was creating as the work of divine providence, which would bring the world through its singular sovereignty to an earthly and universal peace.1
In effect, Northcott argues:
The roots of Christian just-war theory may be traced to the new imperial theology that Christian bishops adumbrated in their new role as leaders of an imperial religion. When the Book of Revelation's prediction of the conversion of the Roman Empire to the cause of the Church eventually came true with the conversion of the Emperor Constantine in the third century, Christians found themselves in the strange position of being not an embattled minority but the majority, and this new majoritarian position had the tragic consequence of deforming the faith of the first Christians into a new cult of empire.2
However, there is another viewpoint which argues that the transition from being a supposedly pacifist religion to one that accepted and actively embraced the realities of war together with the necessity of promulgating theological arguments to support its new position was not such an abrupt one. As James Johnston argues:
The alternative picture is one that highlights the initial eschatological separatism of the earliest stages of the Christian movement, in which not violence as such but close involvement in the affairs of the world was to be shunned, followed by a gradual adjustment to such involvement in the wake of the realization that the new age was not immediately at hand – an adjustment that took place in different ways and at different rates among Christians in various parts of the empire, and one that did not compromise earlier moral purity but instead sought ways to direct it into life within the world at large.3
Furthermore if this 'interpretation of the development of early christian attitudes toward war and military service' is followed, one can avoid the necessity of hypothesizing that there was a 'revolutionary change in the attitudes in the time of Constantine'. Instead it becomes possible to imagine:
a 'gradual consolidation of a positive moral acceptance of participation in affairs of the state, including military service and war, which paralleled a rejection of violence in other parts of the Church that…rejected Christian involvement in the wider society in ways well beyond those associated with the military.'4
The reality probably lies somewhat between these two views. It is clear that Christianity in its early days was a religion which 'was far from monolithic, whether in doctrine, social make-up, language, cultural context, political preference, or virtually any other measure one might apply' and that it was also undergoing a period of serious change both in the definition of its theological tenets and its position in society. Therefore, it is only reasonable to expect that we would encounter a 'plurality of attitudes toward war and military service during the first four centuries, and not a universal pacifism that was subverted and compromised in the time of Constantine'. On the other hand, it would be unwise to underestimate the importance for christianity of having been promoted from a position as an outcast religion, which had often experienced persecution - even from Constantine's father - to being the official and dominant religion of the Roman Empire and to how this new status provides Christianity with distinct opportunities to spread its message throughout the Roman Empire, with a consequent increase in its influence and devotees as a result. Augustine The major theologian of this period is Augustine of Hippo and he also wrote fairly extensively on where and when it would be okay for a christian to engage in war. Augustine was of the opinion that sin played a significant role in history in relation to the fact that the kingdom of heaven on earth had not yet been realised. Augustine felt that war arose as a result of sin and was a 'tragic remedy' for sin in the world of politics. Although it arose from 'disordered ambitions it could in certain instances work to 'restrain evil and protect the innocent.':
"War and conquest are a sad necessity in the eyes of men of principle, yet it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men."5
The classic example of this was where lethal force was applied in order to deter attacks on innocent victims. When confronted with an assault on the innocent, 'the presumption that we do not do harm even to our enemy yielded to the command of love', which was 'understood as the need to restrain an enemy who would injure the innocent.' However, Augustine expanded from this particular narrow instance of where war might be justified in defence of the innocent to one where a city might after a certain amount of time 'seek recovery or reparation' of the losses it had suffered 'by initiating war'. Furthermore a city might be justified in going 'to war not only to defend itself and its friends, and to seek reparations, but also to punish other cities when those cities do wrong and then refuse to effect reparation.' In fact, the concept of punishment assumed an ever greater importance in this context. According to Jenny Teichman:
"Just wars are usually defined as those which punish wrongs, when the nation or a city that is the target of war has neglected either to punish what it has itself wrongly done or to return what was taken through its injustices."6
Teichman would even go as far as asserting that Augustine argues that punishment and war are essentially similar. Pangle and Ahrensdorf summarise Augustine's thinking in this area as follows:
The decent city, then, must look upon its war-making power as analogous to the police powers it exercises in domestic affairs. There is by nature, under the biblical God, a world community with a world order of peace; and in the absence of any other temporal government, each decent nation has a duty to try to enforce that just order in its part of the globe. If Christians go to war, they can and must believe that they are like judges and police while the enemy are like criminals; if they cannot in good conscience act as policemen, then they ought not to fight, even in defense.7
However, it is worth remembering though that Augustine, did not regard the resorting to violence as an ideal, as he preferred the 'world of the spirit to that of the flesh'. In effect, Augustine added a christian interpretation of moral virtue on to the concept of right intent and authority and the Helleno-Roman legal idea of right causes and ends. From his diffuse comments three familiar essentials emerged: just cause, defined as defensive or to recover rightful possession; legitimate authority; right intent by participants. Thus war, inherently sinful, could promote righteousness. These attributes form the basis of classic christian just war theory. Justification for War and Old Testament Augustine tried to find a justification for war by referring to the Old Testament (OT) and the dictum that 'the commandment forbidding killing was not broken by those who have waged war on the authority of God.' In the pre-christian era of the OT there was a rich vein of violence and war coursing through the OT emanating from the journey of the 'chosen people' right up until the time that Jesus supposedly walked amongst them. One reads how God led the Hebrews into battle, protecting them from their foes and granting them victory over the adversaries. It is hardly surprising therefore if many christians believed that the conduct of war had been permitted in the OT and it was only with the teaching of Jesus that it ceased to be allowed.8 However, John Howard Yoder in 'The Politics of Jesus' points out that in fact in the OT victory was usually awarded to the Israelites without their really having to engage too much in the actual conflict, as God would provide them with the victory. As Yoder puts it:
One of the traits of the Old Testament story, sometimes linked with bloody battles but also sometimes notably free of violence, is the identification of YHWH as the God who saves his people without their needing to act.9
Yoder goes on to claim that:
There is no notion of a warrior God who will lead the people in a historical victory over its enemies in the New Testament. The only war spoken of is found in apocalyptic images of the final moments, especially as they are depicted in the Book of Revelations. Here war stands as image of the eschatological struggle between (end p. 86) God and Satan. It is a war in which the Lamb is victorious (Rv. 17:14)10
As history progressed the concept of 'Just war' was heatedly debated though in time it did come, particularly in secular terms, to refer almost exclusively to the idea of self-defence. As Michael Walzer writes:
The wrong which war should attempt to right is the crime of aggression, and the only justification for going to war is therefore as defence against aggression.11
However, over the past couple of decades since the 'removal' of Iraqi forces from Kuwait, we would appear to be returning more to, at least in terms of the justifications being offered by the proponents of humanitarian interventions, the early christian justifications for war, self-defence (or at least defence of one's compatriots out of love for them), which has been ramped up into a far more aggressive and dangerous dictum of preventative war by the Bush administration, as well as for punitive purposes.

When it comes to how it affects health, there is almost nothing more controversial than alcohol. Some studies show that moderate occasional consumption can have cardiovascular, emotional, and mental benefits. Others flatly refute this, saying alcohol makes depression worse, impacts mental health, is bad for the heart, and causes cancer.
For example, a couple of recent studies produced conflicting results on the impact of alcohol. One found that alcohol lowers the risk of mortality for older Americans, thereby extending life. This echoes other studies that have shown it can benefit the heart, mind, and mood, while another study showed it can be dangerous for mental health. Both studies simultaneously re-enforce and refute previous research. So, what gives?
Like most things, the effects of alcohol are largely individualized. For example, if you eat a healthy diet and exercise while indulging in a daily glass of wine or a few drinks on special occasions, it may have benefits. These benefits can include lower blood pressure and perhaps a longer life. If the alcohol is enjoyed in the company of friends and enhances the experience, it can even benefit mental health and lower the risk of depression.
On the other hand, a moderate or occasional drinker who does not have a healthy lifestyle or nutrient-dense diet may not experience the same benefit. Alcohol may promote further inflammation, raise blood pressure, or enhance depression. This is especially true if alcohol is not used to celebrate or enjoy life, but rather as a form of coping.
Therefore, it's wise to take many of the findings about alcohol with a grain of salt. Rather, look at your life to see how alcohol might be impacting you. Are you eating a healthy diet and getting exercise every day? Do you drink to chat and have fun with family and friends, or are you drinking to deal with life's daily stresses? All of this may play a role in how alcohol influences your health.
And remember, all the potential benefits are thrown out the window if you're a heavy drinker. They are typically experienced by those who drink moderately—one per day for women and up to two for men—or occasionally, who drink once or less per week, up to three drinks.
Likely, there will never be a consensus on the health risks/benefits of drinking in advanced age. So, take a look at your life, how and why you drink, and determine whether it's helping or hurting you.

What are Hives?
Hives are swollen pink rashes that appear suddenly, as a result of certain allergens or for unknown reasons. These bumps usually itch, but may also burn or sting. Hives can pop up anywhere on the body, including the face, ears, lips, tongue, and throat. When you press on the center of the hives, it may turn white, which is called "blanching".
There are a variety of things that may trigger the onset of hives including certain foods, medications, insect bites or stings, latex, cold, heat, or exercise, pollen, pet dander, some plants, viral infections, bacterial infections, and more.
Who is a Good Candidate for Hives Treatment?
Individuals who have severe hives or hives that do not go away after several days should see a dermatologist for assessment. If you experience hives along with dizziness, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, or swelling of the tongue, lips, or face, call 9-1-1 and contact a doctor immediately, as these may be signs of a serious allergic reaction.
What to Expect During Hives Treatment?
In order to correctly diagnose your hives, your dermatologist may ask many questions to find the cause. Skin tests may be done to determine if you are allergic to anything that is causing hives. Routine blood tests may also be performed. The best treatment is to identify and remove the trigger that causes hives. In the meantime, there are a number of treatments that be used, including:
Antihistamines: These pills help to block the release of histamine, which causes symptoms.
Heartburn/GERD medications: Also known as H-2 receptor antagonists, these medications are taken orally to supplement the effects of H1 blockers.
Anti-inflammatory medications: Oral corticosteroids like prednisone can help to lessen redness, itching, and swelling. These medications are only used for a short time to control hives, as they can lead to side effects over time.
Immune-suppressing drugs: For cases of severe or chronic hives, these drugs may be recommended.
Biologic drug: Omalizumab (Xolair) has been approved to treat chronic hives in those 12 years of age and older.
For mild hives, there are some at-home treatments that can help to reduce symptoms, including applying cool compresses on the affected areas, wearing loose-fitting and light clothing, and trying to sleep and work in a cool room.
Hives FAQs
Can a blood test detect hives?
Yes, blood tests are often used as part of a diagnostic process to identify the cause of hives.
Can a dermatologist help with hives?
Yes, dermatologists routinely offer care for people with severe hives or hives that dont go away on their own. Dermatologists use the term urticaria to describe hives.
Can alcohol cause hives?
If you are alcohol intolerant or are allergic to alcohol, it can cause a reaction that can result in hives or other rashes.
Can anxiety cause hives?
Stress and anxiety are two factors that can cause hives when there is no other explanation.
Can high blood pressure cause hives?
Blood pressure medication can be the cause of hives, but high blood pressure on its own is not the cause.
Can hives be mistaken for eczema?
Hives are raised red welts on the skin that may itch or throb. Eczema develops more gradually and is usually scaly or crusty and not as swollen.
Can hives get infected?
Although viral and bacterial infections can cause hives, the hives themselves will not cause an infection.
Can hives look like bug bites?
Hives can be mistaken for bug bites. Hives are typically larger and more widespread or in different shapes.
Can hives not be itchy?
Hives are almost always itchy but they can also cause a throbbing or stinging sensation.
Does Benadryl help hives?
Benadryl is an antihistamine that can resolve itchiness and improve your hives.
Following Hives Treatment
Following treatment for hives, patients experience an improvement in their symptoms, as well as the disappearance of their hives over time. Your dermatologist will inform you if there are any steps that need to be taken following treatment.
In order to avoid hives in the future, it is best to avoid or eliminate the trigger. This may include avoiding certain foods, harsh soaps or lotions, harsh sunlight, certain medications, or tight clothing.

Reference Number 576078
as of 8/12/2019
The Model
In the postwar years, Fiat was working on an eight-cylinder engine which was internally known as Tipo 106. Dante Giacosa originally designed the engine for a luxury sedan, but then that project stopped. Rudolf Hruska, at the time working at S.I.A.T.A., was given the task to design a car around the V8 engine. Development took place in absolute secrecy. To not stress the experimental department of Fiat, S.I.A.T.A took up the production of the chassis. Styled by chief designer Fabio Luigi Rapi, the Fiat 8V or OttoVù was presented to the Italian press in February 1952 and first exhibited in the following March at the Geneva Motor Show. The prototype used an art deco grill that extended into the hood. A second series was made featuring four headlights with some of the later cars have a full-width windscreen. A high-performance coupé destined to compete in the GT class, the 2-litre 8V model, was a departure from the usual Fiat production. It was well accepted by Italian private drivers and tuners and was the car to beat in the 2-litre class, also thanks to the unique versions built by Zagato or Siata. The Fiat V8 had a 70-degree V configuration of up to a 1996 cc of volume, at 5600 rpm the engine produced 105 hp (78 kW) in standard form with two two-barrel Weber 36 DCS carburettors giving a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph). Some engines were fitted with substantial four-throat Weber 36 IF4/C carburettors offering 120 bhp, but the intake manifold was very rare. The Fiat 8V is the only eight-cylinder built by Fiat. The engine was connected to a four-speed gearbox. The shapes of the car have seen several changes over time: the prototype had an art deco grille that extended into the bonnet. A second series was made with four headlights; finally, some of the latest cars had a large windshield without divisions. Only 114 of this high-performance coupé were produced, 63 of which with a "Fiat Carrozzerie Speciali" body, 34 first-series and 29 second-series. It was made available in different body styles, offered by the factory and by various coachbuilders like Zagato, Pinin Farina, Ghia and Vignale. The production ceased in 1954.
The car
Chassis 106.000008 is the second 8V ever built, after the six pre-production ones, is the 8th of all the Fiat 8V produced, and is the oldest surviving car with this type of bodywork. 26 of 34 first-series cars retained the original shapes designed by Luigi Fabio Rapi and were not re-bodied or modified. Of these 26, there is specific news of only 7exemplars surviving to date, three were destroyed, and one was dismantled. There is no news about the remaining 15. The car came out of the factory on March 5, 1953, and it was meant for Emanuele Filiberto Nasi, son of lord Carlo Nasi and Tina Agnelli, grandson of Giovanni Agnelli, the late founder of Fiat and Gianni Agnellis cousin. The Nasi family was significant Fiat shareholders. Emanuele Filiberto Nasi ordered the car with out-of-series specifications, like the cloth interiors. On the original door panels is the name of the owner written inside. However, due to deterioration, those original panels had to be replaced while restoring the car, they are at auction with the car. Emanuele Filiberto Nasi was the president of the Automobile Club in Torino and a proper gentleman driver ranking 8th overall at the 1948 Mille Miglia with Emilio Christillin on a Fiat 1100 and 2nd overall at the 1950 Rallye del Sestriere on Fiat 1500. He raced 106.000008 at the uphill race of the Colli Torinesi, Sassi-Superga with 128 entry number (TO143309 plate), ranking 7th in class Turismo Internazionale - 2000cc. The car was sold in August 1956 to Benedetto Testa (plate BS38945) and Antonio Siddi, sprinter and bronze medal at the Olympic Games in London 1948, drove it during the 1957 Mille Miglia. Siddi with entry number 319 faced the race alone. He did not finish the race but bought the car in July 1957. The history of Siddi as a racing driver, at that time, is curiously linked to the 8V cars: the organisers of the Mille Miglia agreed with the Romanazzi body shop, owner and tuner of the Fiat 8V series II, chassis no. 106.000102, to entrust it to Siddi under the aegis of the Scuderia Tevere racing team, but he preferred the 106.000008 car - this lot even if it was an older car. Siddi had already participated in the Mille Miglia in 1954 with a Fiat 1100-103, ranking 92nd overall and his life as a racing driver saw him at the primary races in Italy like the 1963 Rally Internazionale della Sardegna with a Triumph TR4 and the 1964 Targa Florio at the wheel of an MG B. More recently, in its second life, the car's palmarés was included in the 1982 Mille Miglia and, later, in the 1993/1994/1995/1998 Mille Miglia, with a 16th place overall in 1994 (Saporetti/Montanari). The car also saw most of the 90s editions of the Coppa dOro delle Dolomiti, and it won the prize for the Gran Turismo category at the 2015 Vernasca Silver Flag, and the ASI award for the best restoration, at the 2017 Vernasca Silver Flag. The original engine mounted on chassis 106.000008 was substituted early in its life with a not matching but the precious unit, since it comes from the famous one-off Siata 208 Coupé Bertone CS068. Fiat 8V chassis 106.000008 has been owned by the renowned collector Mario Righini in the early seventies and then held for over forty years in the same familys collection. The car saw some documented changes. It is believed that it was born with the typical art-deco grille of all the first 8V, with a trim extending on the hood, while appears some years later in the picture at the 1957 Mille Miglia with a simpler grille. The car arrived at the 1980s with a new front nose, with a different opening without grille and streamlined, Plexiglas covered headlights, different taillights, no bumpers and painted in red. In the late 1980s, it was restored to perfect condition, again with the art-deco grille and all the accurate details, while deciding to maintain the red colour. Later, it was decided to achieve the pristine condition, painting the car in the original grigio bleu metallizzato (a kind of light blue, while the other two available colours were the Verde mare metallizzato and the grigio rosato). The car is eligible to participate in the Mille Miglia and other main events, from re-enactments to concourse delegance. Chassis 106.000008 has a bright future ahead. It is going to be featured in the book Mille Miglias Chassis - The Ultimate Opus, volume II, that will be published in late 2019 by Automotive Masterpieces. The car is going to be one of the crown jewels of the 24th Vernasca Silver Flag, on Fiats 120th anniversary. Chassis 106.000008 has already been accepted and registered and will participate in the event, from June 28 to 30. For this exceptional reason, the car will be delivered to the new buyer only after the race.

An Open Post to Former Agents of Landau Zeffertt Weir Solicitors LLP
On 22 October 2013, US citizen and sponsored Tier 2 visa worker Steven D. Kalavity (SDK) formally engaged Philip Landau, then with Landau Zeffertt Weir Solicitors (LZW), a London, England employment law firm. LZW was contacted to advise on a settlement agreement that had been proffered by SDKs employer, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited, 4 The Heights, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 0NY, England, on 10 October 2013. Since this date, SDK has felt like a man convicted for a crime that he never committed. It has been hell! After months of terrible workplace mobbing abuse by his employer, SDK sought redress through his proceeding through the legally and contractually guaranteed grievance process. However, LZW decided not represent the interests of client SDK, but instead aid the abusers. (SDK could have never even imagined such evil back then.) The LZW agents who SDK communicated with directly and principally facilitated the confidence fraud were Philip Landau and Holly Rushton (now Holly Hobson) who were professionally engaged as SDKs counsel through the eventual signing of a termination settlement contract agreement 5 December 2013 (10 October – 5 December 2013) [SCA]. The reason that SDK is able to publish articles disparaging his former counsel and employer is because the rendered SCA advised on by LZWs Landau – Hobson (Rushton) is an illegal contract supported by defamatory forged instruments. The conspirators were publicly exposed years ago (3 July 2015). Landau and Hobson have never advised that the online publications cease or denied accusations that they participated in a criminal conspiracy to defame and defraud their client. Landau and Hobson have remained silent. This is the main reason that justice has alluded SDK is because he never really ever had legal counsel representing his interests.
The voice of the lawyers involved with negotiating the actual terms and conditions of my termination were Philip Landau, from Landau Zeffertt Weir Solicitors LLP, representing me and Watson, Farley & Williams (WFW) which was enlisted by PGSUK. Every single one of these named individuals has a voice, access to legal counsel, and the capacity to respond and to clarify any of the issues brought-up in my posts. The base argument is that no settlement agreement contract can be applied to supersede the legal provisions afforded to each data subject through the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). The DPA does not allow inaccurate subject data to be fraudulently processed by a data controller, e.g., PGS. My contention, however, is that the aforementioned actors – and likely several others – have indeed conspired to accomplish just that.Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) Mob Gaslighting (22 June 2016)
Communications between SDK and Landau began on 10 October 2013. SDK had delivered a formal grievance to parent company, Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) management on 20 September 2013 to initiate the formal grievance process. The grievance was prompted by an ambush meeting that occurred on 13 June 2013. SDK had wanted to submit a grievance directly following that ambush meeting, but was obstructed from doing so. PGS refused to provide minutes, or any firm record, of that meeting to SDK as a basis for the grievance. Eventually, on 24 July 2013, PGS delivered, through PGS UK HR Manager, David Nicholson, a letter, Investigation for possible implementation of a Performance Improvement Plan. This ambush letter instead became the referenced basis for the grievance submitted 20 September 2020. The grievance had alleged the abuse of position, bullying / harassment, discrimination, and defamation of SDK mostly by three principals: David Nicholson, PGS UK HR Manager, Edward von Abendorff, SDKs supervisor and Simon Cather, von Abendorff's boss. A grievance hearing had been scheduled for 14 October 2013. On 10 October 2013 a termination settlement was proffered by the accused PGS perpetrator, Nicholson, to stop the grievance process, which SDK rejected. Following this, SDK did some online research, discovered and then contacted Landau / LZW.
In October 2014, I contacted Nicholson and Haswell to submit my SAR to PGS Exploration UK Limited. I contacted Landau, just so he would be aware. I also contacted Bjølseth. There was a brief acknowledgement from Landau. Bjølseth basically confirmed and approved that Nicholson et. al would address my SAR. I made it clear that I had many disagreements about my held subject data with the ICO caseworker, as well as with Nicholson and Haswell. The communications with PGS ended in late December 2014. Readers must understand that I knew immediately upon receiving my SAR data that something was awry.Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) Mob Values (14 June 2016)
Landau immediately recommended that an "enhanced" settlement agreement be sought, rather than continuing to proceed through the Company grievance procedures through conclusion and then possible appeal. SDK was motivated to extricate himself and his family from the health-harming work environment. However, SDK obviously wanted to do so with the most favorable financial and professional terms possible with his reputation and dignity intact. As a US citizen foreign worker, SDK had no ties nor interest in any prolonged battle or remaining in England. Reluctant to abandon the grievance procedures process, SDK paid Landau to negotiate the most favorable exit that he could, based on his experience and knowledge of UK employment law. SDK finally did act and place his confidence in Landau's advice to negotiate the "enhanced" termination settlement agreement. Landau was assisted by lawyer Holly Rushton (now Holly Hobson). PGS enlisted the services of law firm Watson Farley & Williams lawyer Rhodri Thomas. On 1 November 2013 settlement discussion began. An agreement was signed 5 December 2013. SDK was placed on garden leave from 5 – 31 December 2013 and did not return to PGS offices. SDK felt that the garden leave and isolation from office acquaintances was disparaging, especially around the holiday season, but PGS offered to pay an additional month salary if SDK agreed. SDK would have never agreed to such terms and conditions if he lived in England and not been a sponsored foreign worker. SDK and family departed England to the USA on 24 December 2013 never completely satisfied with the outcome, but out of harms way. Or so SDK hoped and believed at the time.
following the initial settlement proffered by one of the perpetrators which SDK rejected.
Diligence, Negligence, and Gross Negligence
Through a network of bribed and corrupt lawyers / solicitors and human resources personnel justice have perverted the course of justice and denied their victim of violent crimes an opportunity to fight back. PGS, along with their contracted counsel WFW plus LZWs crucial assistance formed an illegal termination settlement contract through gaslighting lies and manipulation. The abuse of SDK and his family has continued through their illegal silence. PGS, LZW and WFW fraud, defamation (blacklisting), harassment and abuse has never ceased. Once in the USA, in October 2014, SDK submitted a subject access request (SAR) citing the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) to receive copies of SDK personal data that PGS was processing. This included SDKs PGS professional personnel file and several other e-mails. (Landau was made aware that an SAR was submitted. ) The documents processed within SDKs PGS personnel file bore no subject SDK signature and were inaccurate and defamatory. SDK sent several complaints to both PGS as well as the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) in charge of DPA compliance. On 22 December 2014, PGS sent by e-mail and post mail a letter signed/endorsed by Nicholson "clarifying" issues that SDK had discovered following the receipt of data that PGS was processing as SDKs personal data (extortion letter).
PGS did concede to amend SDKs personnel file documents by including one 5 December 2014 complaint e-mail into SDKs PGS personnel file, but threatened legal action if SDK continued his questioning of the false instruments PGS had already illegally processed. In spite of the double-speak within the extortion letter, placing the 5 December 2014 e-mail highlighting issues with the contents of SDKs personnel file was an amendment/change of SDKs personal data after the fact. PGS essentially acknowledged that PGS, WFW and LZW had processed inaccurate personal data and their solution was to correct it. This was also an acknowledgement that PGS, WFW and LZW has all conspired to defraud SDK. As a condition of signing the termination settlement agreement, PGS, WFW and LZW promised that the contents would be true and accurate. PGS, WFW and LZW all gaslighted to induce SDK to sign the phony contract. Obviously, LZW participation in the fraud was pivotal to its "success." Records with no subject counter-signature cannot be verified for accuracy and would not be considered legal documents, except within this criminal conspiracy including corrupt lawyers and human resources employee's. Most documents are signed solely by accused harasser and defamer Nicholson!
PGS did not address that their concession to amend SDKs personal data meant that inaccurate/false personal data had been used to process the termination settlement agreement (fraud). Nevertheless, ICO was and has remained satisfied with this "solution."
A formal grievance had been delivered to parent company, Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) management on 20 September 2013 and a hearing had been scheduled for 14 October 2013. Landau recommended immediately recommended that he advise on negotiating an "enhanced" settlement agreement (payment) and discontinue the grievance process. Landau was assisted by lawyer Holly Rushton (now Hobson). PGS enlisted the services of law firm Watson Farley & Williams lawyer Rhodri Thomas. On 1 November 2013 settlement discussion began. An agreement was signed 5 December 2013. SDK was placed on garden leave from 5 – 31 December 2013 and did not return to PGS offices. SDK and family departed England 24 December 2013.
Because of the binding nature of settlement contracts, there was little more that SDK could do, even though the entire purpose of DPA is to ensure correct data is processed for data subjects. In July 2015, SDK published some of these issues online the LinkedIN™ Pulse platform expecting that the Confidentiality clauses would invoke some response (legal action) from PGS. Nothing happened. In August 2015, SDK submitted a report to UK ActionFraud (police). Neither ICO nor the police, to date, have ever thoroughly investigated SDK, claims. From September 2015 through August 2016, SDK published several more articles on LinkedIN™. SDK sent several complaints to PGS Compliance Hotline which were never answered. SDK also submitted several comments on the PGS LinkedIN™ space . These complaints were deleted. SDK even contacted Landau. Landau and Hobson (Rushton) were now with Landau Law. Landau and Hobson have never commented, but have essentially aided PGS in maintaining the false narrative. SDK believes that this silence and failure to clarify SDKs position is itself fraudulent and perverts the course of justice. It also confirms that Landau -Hobson were principle actors in the execution of a confidence fraud against their client. SDK, a USA citizen. SDK was denied due process under English law and contract. SDK was then sent back to the USA out of reach of English justice. This punctuates the claim of discrimination made against PGS. SDKs US citizenship made him vulnerable to such a confidence fraud.
Several e-mails between SDK and Landau-Hobson from 10 October 2013 – 5 December 2013 confirm that PGS is processing inaccurate defamatory data as SDKs personal data.orwegian company Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS) illegally harassed and discriminated against a US citizen foreign worker whistleblower. To avoid accountability for their violent crimes against US-Thai citizens under their contractual Duty of Care, they bribed lawyers, Philip Landau and Holly Hobson (Rushton) to defraud and professionally blacklist their client, Steven Kalavity (SDK). On 22 October 2013, Philip Landua, then with Landau Zeffert and Wier Solicitors (LZW) was paid money and formally engaged to represent SDK. (LZW later became Landau Law to scrub evidence and launder the bribe money.) SDK was sponsored to work in England by PGS' subsidiary in England, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited, 4 The Heights, Brooklands, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13 0NY. The criminal conspiracy to defraud foreign worker whistleblower, SDK, was only successful because SDK was a foreigner. Through bribing SDKs counsel, SDK was effectively denied his legal due process. Everything that I am writing can be confirmed or denied by Landau and Hobson. Landau and Hobson silence is fraud. Every question asked of PGS through the subject access request (SAR) sent to PGS October 2014 should have been confirmed by Landau and Hobson. However, since Landau and Hobson were indispensable actors in the criminal conspiracy confidence fraud, they have never come to the aid of their former client. They have allowed SDK to be defamed and defrauded. Landau and Hobson have been accused of criminal acts formally since 2016. Neither has ever protested their innocence. So, why doesn't UK ActionFraud (police) arrest them when they have never denied that they are criminals. The evidence that SDK has posted online since 3 July 2015 is irrefutable. But, it seems Sherlock Holmes inquisitiveness is only the thing of fiction in the UK.
Equinor should have addressed 'significant' problems in U.S. sooner -chairman (9 October 2020) – Norway covers-up their corruption and the PWC audit is meaningless. The same board that allowed the poor investments also selected Reinhadsen to be Chairman
SDK was a foreign worker in a foreign land under significant stress from the hostile work environment. The health and well-being of SDK and his family were continually jeopardized by the illegal workplace behaviors, continual lies and gaslighting. Things came to a head 13 June 2013 when SDK entered into an ambush meeting hosted by HR Manager, David Nicholson and attended by SDKs supervisor, Edward von Abendorff and his supervisor, Simon Cather. An ambush meeting is essentially when corrupt managers abuse their power and without legal license nor evidence threaten a hapless target of illegal harassment and discrimination livelihood and defame them. Following this meeting, SDK requested minutes of the meeting so that he could invoke his legal right under law and contract to submit a grievance. The trio of criminals, Nicholson, Cather, and von Abendorff breached SDKs contract and perverted the course of justice by obstructing this legal right under law and contract. SDK needed something in writing since minutes of the illegal ambush meeting were withheld. Eventually, Nicholson signed and delivered an illegal letter on behalf of the Company on 24 July 2013 that similarly threatened and defamed SDK. The trio of criminal cowards wanted to escape all responsibility for their illegal behavior and PGS upper management aided and abetted in the fraud and defamation of a foreign worker whistleblower.
SDK did not work directly for Nicholson. Further, since the requested grievance regarded the meeting that Nicholson hosted and participated in, he would not have any qualified privilege. Similarly, the directors and secretary of PGSUK, Jon Erik Reinhardsen, Gottfred Langseth, Christin Steen-Nilsen and Candida Pinto also held no direct knowledge of my work and also held no qualified privilege. They abused their power to intimidate their target of violent health harming harassment through endorsing an illegal and defamatory letter that they ultimately would be accountable. The letters subject line, Investigation for Possible Implementation of a Performance Improvement Plan was strategically named to obstruct SDKs legal and contractual right to submit a grievance which would have obviously revealed PGS breach of contract and defamation. The ambush letter scheduled a meeting for 11 September 2013. SDK had made his intentions clear that he intended to respond to the ambush letter with a grievance. PGS continued to illegally obstruct SDKs legal and contractual right under law and contract to submit a grievance. PGS never aided in the submission process as they are supposed to do. The 11 September 2013 meeting was rescheduled for 20 September 2013. On 13 September 2013, Pinto resigned as PGSUK secretary and Carl Richards assumed the role. From 24 July 2013 SDK had requested co-worker John Barnard to be his witness through the grievance process. Again, Nicholson made several attempts to obstruct the grievance process. However, on 20 September 2013 there was a meeting. PGS never provided any investigation report at the meeting. SDK delivered the grievance during the short meeting.
Again, PGS delayed. Nicholson was a named subject of the grievance citing bullying, harassment, and other contractual duty of care breaches (Health and Safety Act 1974), discrimination (Equality Act 2010), based on SDKs nationality protected class. Nicholson continued to be allowed to direct – or obstruct – SDKs legal grievance process. A meeting / hearing was scheduled for 14 October 2013. However, Nicholson – a named perpetrator within the grievance – proffered a settlement agreement 10 October 2013 stop SDKs legally guaranteed grievance process. SDK did not accept the settlement offer, but did decide to seek legal advice and came across Philip Landau. Landau immediately recommended seeking an "enhanced settlement." Email records show that Landau (and Hobson) were provided with both a summary of the grievance as well as the grievance document with names redacted. Landau never requested a copy of the employment contract, which was predicated on my Tier 2 visa sponsorship and also included reference to the disciplinary and grievance processes contained within the employee Handbook. (This would mean not following the grievance procedures would be a breach of contract.) The grievance hearing occurred on 14 October 2013 by video conference with myself and Barnard in England and Cather's superior, Per Arild Reksnes, and Nicholson's superior, Terje Bjolseth both in Norway. No minutes or decision from that meeting was ever provided to SDK. Impatient, on 22 October 2013, SDK officially engaged Landau to represent and advise in the grievance – settlement process. PGS had never provided any Performance Improvement Plan, only the grievance process was officially initiated.
I have signed a settlement agreement, or "NDA". Can I take my story to the media?
In most cases, no. If you have signed a valid settlement agreement containing a confidentiality clause this would usually be sufficient to stop you from taking a story to the media. It is possible (and likely) that your ex-employer could sue you for breach of contract and significant damages if you did so.
However, as mentioned above, a settlement agreement cannot prevent you from reporting crime to the police, whistleblowing to an appropriate authority (for example a regulator), or reporting anything that had not yet happened at the time you signed the settlement agreement, for example if you have stayed with your employer and the harassment has continued.
If you are concerned about the validity or enforceability of a settlement agreement you have signed, you should seek legal advice before taking any further steps.LANDAU LAW SOLICITORS

Settlement agreement discussions and section 111A of the ERA 1996
Section 111A of the ERA 1996 provides that offers to end the employment relationship on agreed terms (i.e. under a settlement agreement) can be made on a confidential basis which means that they cannot be used as evidence in an unfair dismissal claim to an employment tribunal.
Claims that relate to an automatically unfair reason for dismissal such as whistleblowing, union membership or asserting a statutory right are not covered by the confidentiality provisions set out in section 111A.
Neither are claims made on grounds other than unfair dismissal, such as claims of discrimination, harassment, victimisation or other behaviour prohibited by the Equality Act 2010, or claims relating to breach of contract or wrongful dismissal.Acas Code of Practice on settlement agreements
