Oklahoma activists filed a list of 2022 ballot initiatives for legalizing adult use of marijuana. They also filed a reform initiative to remodel the existing cannabis program in the state.
The measures were submitted formally to the Secretary of State office. This is a key step that sets the stage for signature gathering to qualify the proposed constitutional amendments.
Oklahomans for Responsible Cannabis Action (ORCA) made an announcement last month that it was close to soliciting feedback from a wide range of stakeholders and advocates.

Jed Green, the director of ORCA released an official press release stating that the initiatives would fix the issues that are being witnessed currently in the state's medical cannabis program. It is also said that it will result in the creation of a new industry opportunity with the legalization of adult-use cannabis.
As per the recreational legalization proposal, individuals 21 and older would be able to possess about eight ounces of marijuana that they can purchase from retailers and also from whatever they yield from growing up to 12 plants for personal use.
The sales would be subjected to 15 percent excise tax. The initiatives currently outline various programs that would benefit from the revenue collected in the form of taxes over the sale of recreational cannabis.
The money would initially be used to cover the implementation costs and would also be divided to support people with disabilities, cannabis research, law enforcement training, and substance misuse treatment.
Oklahoma voters approved the legalization of medical cannabis at the ballot in 2018. Unlike several state medical cannabis programs, it does not require the patients to have any specific health conditions to benefit from its use. Doctors can recommend it to any condition they find to be an appropriate recommendation.
While the new initiatives would appear separately on the ballot if they qualify, the activists however view them as complementary. The second new measure would establish the Oklahoma State Cannabis Commission (OSCC) to oversee all areas of the medical marijuana system.
It temporarily maintains a seven percent excise tax on medical cannabis sales with revenue supporting urban waste remediation, rural impact, marijuana research, mental health response programs, agriculture development, substance misuse treatment, and more.
Furthermore, the adult-use initiative consists of an appeal to lower medical marijuana tax gradually. Also, from just 60 days of enactment, the state's medical cannabis dispensaries would be permitted to sell to the recreational market.
Previously, Oklahoma activists had filed an attempt to qualify a legalization measure for the 2020 ballot. They filed a petition to legalize cannabis for adult use in December 2019. But they fell short of signature due to the coronavirus pandemic and procedural delays.

For the newly filed initiatives, the activists will need to collect at least 177,958 signatures from registered voters to qualify them for the ballot.
Oklahoma is one of the growing numbers of states where activists are working to place a solid drug policy reform before the voters next year. It is not just the marijuana measures that the activists are working towards.
Recently a campaign was cleared to begin collecting signatures for an initiative to legalize psilocybin. Advocates in the Washington State have announced a proposal to decriminalize all drugs before voters. Meanwhile, voters from several Ohio municipalities will decide on ballot measures to decriminalize marijuana next month.

When is the last time you waited in line for three hours? Given that we've been wrestling with a ferocious pandemic the past year, hopefully it wasn't recently, for Anthony Fauci's sake. But if you did, were you nervous the entire time? When I made the choice to come to Yale for my master of public health degree, I never expected that I'd end up waiting three hours to testify in a public hearing, let alone in support of a bill establishing the right to housing. As a medical student, I am intimately involved with health at the clinical interface. But what does housing have to do with health?
Housing policy is one of the frontiers of health for three key reasons I'll address: it addresses the social determinants of health, long term care, and could have the potential to aid Connecticut in controlling health care costs.
When I first started medical school, paralleling housing policy and health policy was not something I could substantiate confidently. Like myself, historically people have limited health to a silo of chronic and infectious diseases. But the signatures in the joint favorable report for SB-194 released recently paint a different picture.
The report contains over 160 signatures in support and less than 15 in opposition. The reasons listed in support include housing being a moral and human right as well as its positive effects on public health. Much of the latter idea could be explained by the international movement toward addressing social determinants of health. SDOH are social factors that affect an individual's health outside of the clinical interface and are key drivers of health inequities.
Over my years training at a safety net hospital in Nashville, I recall becoming familiar with patients in the emergency room largely driven by the social contextual factors like lack of access to stable housing and regular refills on anti-psychotics for their psychiatric diagnoses. Housing, climate, and transportation policy all have the potential to have adverse effects on population health.
But how could housing policy be implicated in the COVID-19 pandemic? Unfortunately, we've grown far too familiar with nursing home residents being among the hardest hit populations. According to the CDC, as of November 2020, among assisted living facility residents with COVID-19, 21% died compared to 3% in the general population. How many deaths could have been averted if more elderly citizens had access to affordable and sustainable placement in the community?
As a matter of fact, 78% of Baby Boomers prefer aging outside of these long term care facilities but only half believe it possible. Long term care policy is fraught with issues and by no means is housing a complete fix; reform is certainly long overdue. But a positive right to housing could facilitate the "aging in place" movement that so many Americans prefer but believe is out of reach.
A right to housing also has the potential to aid Connecticut in its cost containment strategies. A couple of months before the pandemic, Gov. Ned Lamont signed Executive Order No. 5 and Executive Order No. 6. The former directs the Office of Health Strategy (OHS) to annually report on public and private payer spending growth while the latter directs the Department of Social Services (DSS) to bolster efforts to control Medicaid costs. During my oral testimony in support of SB-194, I was questioned on the return on investment for housing. In the most recent issue of Health Affairs, authors found that a housing program in Baltimore generated between $1.30 and $1.92 of social return on value for every dollar spent. Similarly, UnitedHealth, one of the largest insurers in the U.S., is piloting a housing program called MyConnections. As of last year, they found reductions in ER visits and inpatient admissions.
To be sure, while establishing a right to housing is important, it is also important that landlords are heard out in conversations surrounding ensuring an adequate supply of housing. Proper incentives must be in place so that the supply of affordable housing dances in tandem with the demand. The majority of affordable units in Connecticut are in the middle to low-income band of the area median income range with relatively fewer units available at the ends of the spectrum. If high income residents don't have an adequate supply of units, they could potentially crowd out the lower area median income units. Thus, ensuring the proper incentives are in place for developers are imperative.
A quick look at Google trends data for people searching "health equity" in the past year reveals a positive trend. Health equity is a hot topic in many industries and current state and federal administration have vocally expressed its importance in decision-making. With SB-194 filed with the Legislative Commissioner's Office, we will see what the General Assembly decides. But make no mistake, a no for a right to housing is a no for health and equity.

More and more neural and behavioural data is being collected in increasingly complex settings, offering unique opportunities to study how brains control behaviours. A major challenge is to infer the computational and mechanistic principles underlying adaptive control from this ocean of data. Our lab tackles this puzzle in two ways:
- by building network-level theories of brain computation, with an emphasis on motor control
- by developing machine learning methodology for analysing complex datasets in light of these theories
At both levels, our work builds heavily upon engineering-related domains such as dynamical systems and control theory, probabilistic machine learning, and optimization.

The long-announced changes in the recording of transactions for VAT purposes have become a fact. On October 1st 2020, new regulations came into force, under which taxpayers will no longer submit separately VAT-7 and VAT-7K returns and the JPK file (Standard Audit File for Tax; SAF-T).
Download our News Flash or read more below.
Scope of changes
The current reporting process has been replaced by a new electronic document JPK_VAT with a return, which consists of two elements – the registration part and the return part. The new structure of JPK_V7M applies to taxpayers who settle monthly, while JPK_V7K applies to small taxpayers who use quarterly settlements.
All taxpayers, whether large, medium-sized, small or medium-sized enterprises, as well as micro-enterprises, are required to report transactions using the new structure of the JPK from 1 October of this year, in particular:
- Taxpayers who settle VAT liabilities on monthly basis are required to submit one file which is to contain both the recording and the return part.
Example: JPK for October to 25 November
- Taxpayers who settle VAT liabilities on quarterly basis are required to submit a JPK_VAT with only the completed recording section for the first 2 months of each quarter. After the end of a given quarter, however, they will be obliged to complete the recording part for the third month of the quarter and the return part of the JPK_VAT for the entire quarter.
Example: JPK for Q4, only the recording part of JPK until November 25th, only the recording part of JPK until December 25th, and the recording part for the last month and the return part for all quarter periods until January 25th 2021
The main core of changes in the entire process of recording business transactions is to extend the scope of information provided to tax authorities. The new structure of JPK provides for marking:
- selected categories of goods and services using the so-called GTU codes (10 for goods and 3 for services)
- type of transactions and specific procedures
- type of documents: evidence of sale and purchase.
Please refer to the summary of the markers in the section – Check how to apply new markers.
Adjustments to the settlements
In the case of an adjustment to the submitted records, a new, complete XML file containing the corrected data should be submitted. It is not acceptable to submit a file containing only corrected data.
In order to correct the new JPK_VAT, the taxpayer will be able to apply one of three options:
- adjustment of both the recording and the return part
- adjustment of the recording part only, the return part remains unchanged (in this case, the date of submission of the return remains unchanged);
- adjustment of the return part only (the effect is the same as for the current adjustment of the return).
The adjustment should be sent by the taxpayer within 14 days from the date on which it is noticed that the records contain mistakes or data which are not in accordance with the facts or when there is a change in the data covered by the records.
Fines provided for mistakes
According to the amended provisions of the VAT Act, the authority may impose on the taxpayer – by issuing a decision – a fine of PLN 500 for each mistake that makes it impossible to verify the correctness of transactions.
A financial fine may be imposed, in particular when:
- the taxpayer fails to send the adjusted records
- the taxpayer does not provide explanations
- the taxpayer submits the adjustment or explanations after the deadline
- the explanations of the taxpayer do not prove that the records are free of mistakes.
Furthermore, the new Article 61a added to the Penal and Fiscal Code provides for the imposition of fines on individuals engaged in economic activities who commit a fiscal petty offence or fiscal offence.
How to prepare for new challenges?
The implementation of the new JPK structure imposes a number of new tasks on entrepreneurs and brings with it numerous difficulties and the risk of severe sanctions, as well as the potential involvement of employees of many company departments.
Therefore, it is worthwhile to properly prepare your company for new challenges, in which Accace will be happy to support you. Our assistance will consist primarily in support you on the correct marking of transactions:
- Including assignment of the correct GTU code, classification under the correct CN code and PKWiU symbol.
- Including determining the obligation to apply a special settlement procedure.
- Including the confirmation of transactions by means of appropriate evidence.

PPA chief: We need to be prepared for mass border crossings from Russia
Mass border crossings from the Russian side of Estonia's eastern border is a very real risk for which preparedness is needed, head of the Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) Elmar Vaher says.
While most of Estonia's border with the Russian Federation follows water-courses, in the far southeast of Estonia, the border runs across land.
This frontier needs to be seen in the context of the recent Russian attempted mobilization of as many as 300,000 reservists, since the drive, aimed at making up for military setbacks Russia has been facing in its invasion of Ukraine, is likely to affect areas near the Estonian border, for instance the city of Pskov.
This picture is complicated by the fact that many people waiting in line for days on Russia's western borders are legitimate refugees from Ukraine, mixed in with draft-dodging Russian citizens, those seeking economic opportunity and even out-and-out criminals.
As a result, a large proportion of people are sent back from the border, by the PPA, Vaher added, appearing on ETV news show "Aktuaalne kaamera" (AK) Thursday evening – putting a figure of 50-60 on the previous evening alone – on the grounds that they have no legitimate reason to enter Estonia.
At the same time, many Ukrainian refugees attempting to enter Estonia are being prevented from doing so, and removed, by the FSB and other Russian state agencies.
That large lines developed was likely also due to Russian security services not being ready for the sheer numbers attempting to leave.
While the risk level is nonetheless currently low, Vaher said, it cannot be assessed in terms of months, but rather from the perspective of hours and days.
The situation on Russia's borders with the EU and on the border of nearby EU countries is tense, Vaher added
Vaher told "Esimene stuudio" that: "The kind of volumes or pressure that we saw last Friday or over the weekend has fallen a bit, but it is still there."
"For example, my partners in Poland and Lithuania are working each and every day in conditions where hundreds of people are trying to get across the border. Human shields are set up; border guards are being outwitted," he went on.
Poland and Lithuania do not border with the bulk of the Russian Federation, but do via the Kaliningrad exclave, a highly militarized zone sandwiched between the two EU states. They also both border with Russia's ally, Belarus.
While scenes on the borders of Poland and Lithuania have not yet been played out on Estonia's frontier, the PPA and other agencies are ready for such an eventuality, Vaher said.
He said: "We are continuing to guard the border with all the possibilities we have, and we have slightly increased our capabilities. But we have to be careful here; we don't have many border guard personnel, so we need to think carefully about what we do today so as not to tire ourselves."
No Russian citizen has yet presented at the Estonian border with call-up papers, following last month's mass mobilization, Vaher went on.
"There's a lot of talk about call-ups, but when we ask for proof of a call-up, we so far haven't received one," he added.
On the other hand, the prospect of a mass crossing of the border, for instance using children or the elderly as human shields, is a level which the Russian regime is more than capable of sinking to, Vaher went on, meaning being prepared on the Estonian side is essential.
This becomes even more poignant as colder weather approaches, and humanitarian rescue with, for instance the use of PPA or other vessels is one possible scenario, while border vigilance during the increasingly long nights is also in hand, Vaher went on.
At the same time, human traffickers and other unsavory elements must be combatted – here the experience of Lithuania and Poland on their border with Belarus is valuable, the PPA chief went on.
As to people who had already been waiting in the vicinity of the southeastern Estonian border, on the Russian side, according to some sources people have assembled at a monastery near Petseri, while sources have said that buses are moving towards Belarus, Vaher went on.
Since the number of people drafted into military service in areas closer to Estonia is likely to rise, Vaher went on, while numbers of Ukrainian refugees may rise as damaged homes become uninhabitable in colder weather, meaning extra preparedeness along these lines is needed to.
Vaher considers an organized hybrid operation to the Estonian border as probable. "I would say that I don't doubt if it will happen, I'm more concerned with when it will happen and how to be ready for it," he said.
Hybrid operations on the border, he added are also a possible development.
Estonian NGOs focused on aid to Ukraine have highlighted how people fleeing the war have been impeded once reaching the border with Estonia, while Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu (Isamaa) said Thursday that the reported removal of refugees from the border by Russian authorities on Wednesday is no coincidence.

MINISTER OF STATE for Disability Issues Finian McGrath has said that he won't be contesting this general election.
The Dublin Bay North TD is a member of the Independent Alliance, and first entered the Dáil in 2002.
In a statement released this afternoon following the confirmation of a general election on 8 February, McGrath said that he would not be standing for the 33rd Dáil.
"I have given this matter careful consideration and believe this is the correct decision for my family and me. I am far from retiring and will remain involved in political activism, supporting disability issues.
"I hope to spend time encouraging some of the 13% of Ireland's population who have some form of disability to get involved in politics at a local or national level," he said.
He thanked his late wife Anne, his two daughters Caoimhe and Cliodhna, and other members of his family for their support.
"Above all, it was a privilege to serve my constituents in Dublin Bay North and I would like to humbly send a heartfelt thank you to every person who voted for me at any time during my political career. Thank you. I did my best."
McGrath joined the government as a junior minister through the Independent Alliance, which supported the Fine Gael government since the 2016 general election. He became the first Minister of State for Disabilities in 2016.
In his statement where he confirmed the election date, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar thanked the Independent Alliance for "having the courage" to support Fine Gael in government.
Minister for Communications Richard Bruton tweeted out that McGrath "served our constituents well and been great to work with in and out of government".
His big heart, his playful personality, and his huge commitment enlivened many a Cabinet meeting. As the first ever Minister for Disabilities he brought a real change to people's lives.
"He was always a loyal colleague and at all times treated both supporters and opponents with fairness and respect," he said.
Health Minister Simon Harris said: "I would thank my colleague and friend Finian McGrath for all his work and effort over the last number of years. I have seen first hand his dedication and passion for public service. I wish him, his family and his supporters all the very best."

On This Date: Photo taken 8/4/2006
Downtown in Virginia, Minnesota. We were in Virginia for the annual meeting of the Missabe Railroad Historical Society, of which I've long been a member.
I used to attend MRHS conventions regularly, but I no longer do so. Somehow my summers have gotten busy.
My first visit to Virginia–and to what the locals call The Range–was with the Macalester College Concert Choir, during spring break of my senior year. I've been going back ever since.

These figures show that employers are still very reluctant to hire more workers. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan is optimistic that job growth will speed up. Job creation has become a critical issue for the Bush administration, as their record is being attacked by Democrats.

This here is my original character I use for roleplays on Hogwarts Extreme site. This text is here because I believe it would be better to throw a link rather than copypaste this grand wall of text in every RP thread I am interested in.
Name: Coenraad de Groot
Age: 13
Year: Third. House: Slytherin
Gender: Male
Blood Status: Mixed. Mother is a pure-blood English witch, father is a muggle-born Dutch wizard, both are loving and supportive.
Favourite subject: Charms
Worst subject: Muggle studies. Just boring, he had already been living in the Muggle world for the first ten years of his life.
On the outside, Coenraad looks like an average quiet boy with little to no personality; his voice is quiet, almost incapable of yelling, and he usually speaks in short phrases. During classes, he opens his mouth only to answer teacher's questions or to help his housemates with lessons, not to chat about something unrelated.
But should you get to his good side, and he will change completely. Coenraad will not hesitate to share even his boldest and maddest plans, if you are his friend. He also loves to throw in jokes from time to time. This half-dutch wizard loves to be a first or a second person in the company, constantly engaging his friends in actions and adventures. If his pals need help, he will try his best (and his best is a lot, given his wit, magical talent and not big respect for laws and regulations) to come up with a great plan how to fix everything.
Nonetheless, Coenraad doesn't really have much friends. Despite being a mixed-blood wizard, this fella still has a lot of infamous Slytherin haughtiness. No, of course it is not about his blood status, but he loves to judge people. If a person has problems learning, he sees that person "a fool", thus not worthy of time. If a person is afraid of magic or teachers, like Neville Longbottom, he sees that person as "a coward". People who hold pride for their pure magical blood mostly become his rivals. Coenraad is master when it comes to detecting flaws of other people, but blind to his own vices. This boy is not yet wise or adult enough to see that he hates a lot of people, and hates for all wrong reasons.
Coenraad's magical talent and disrespect for most people around led him to become a lover of duels. If there was (or is) a dueling club in Hogwarts, he would visit it a lot: to practise spells and to prove himself that he is indeed superior to others. Given that, defeats there would hurt him badly.
Plus, Coenraad is secretly afraid of broom flight, that's why he never even considered becoming a Quidditch player. He rarely attends Quidditch matches, even though he is just a viewer.
Physical Appearance:
Coenraad's appearance is rather common. His height is a bit below average for his age. Average constitution, not fat, not thin, not muscular. His hair are blond, but not as blond as Malfoy's. His skin is white, but not pale. Doesn't wear glasses. Most people would call that fella pretty, for he lacks flaws like acne, birthmarks or freckles, but he also lacks any good appearance features (including birthmarks or freckles).
Coenraad de Groot was born in Netherlands, in the family of a muggle-born wizard Lucas de Groot and a pure-blood English Witch Elizabeth Avery. Coenraad's parents were keeping him ignorant about the existence of Wizarding World, but some strange events happened in their house from time to time. Father's teacup which was always clean, a shoe horn which had always been found in new places around the house, plus Coenraad could swear he saw his teddy-bear fly when he was six. That's why he became very interested in everything supernatural. He made his tradition to try to catch Sinterklaas (Dutch Santa Claus) to prove his existence and, when being asked whom he wants to become when he grows up, Coenraad answered "ghostbuster" without any hesitation. When truth was revealed and Coenraad got his letter from Hogwarts, he had only said that he knew everything right from the start.
When the young wizard arrived in Hogwarts, he had been sorted out to the house of Slytherin. Coenraad himself was indifferent to this new, but his parents were grimly surprised.Add to favorites

The October 23rd event on Rotogravure will take place in Florence both with a live audience and in streaming.
The journey to Roto4All on October 23rd in Florence (Firenze Fiera, piazza Adua 1) begins with important news. The event on rotogravure will take place with a live audience, in total safety and in compliance with all anti-Covid protocols; given the reduced seating numbers and with the big success achieved by the launching webinar of April 28 (with 560 attendees, a third of which international), the Italian Rotogravure Group by Acimga decided to stream Roto4All globally, with simultaneous translation in English for the international audiences.
Matteo Bordone, journalist, and radio presenter of Radio2, will be hosting a day dense in content. The coordinator of Italian Rotogravure Group by Acimga Gianmatteo Maggioni will kick off the event by illustrating roles and activities of the Group. Professor Enzo Baglieri, from SDA Bocconi School of Management, will take us deep in the economic aspects of this printing technology with an analysis of investment opportunities and trends in rotogravure.
Project manager Julian Rotter will take stock of the European authorisation for hexavalent chromium. A very popular theme in the gravure world, with a strong debate taking place around the issue, to which Italy is bringing its contribution through the Rotogravure Group by Acimga. There will be a lot of space for roundtable discussions too, with testimonies and direct experiences from printers and brand owners who have chosen the rotogravure as their main technology. Elisabetta Bottazzoli, Sustainability and Circular Economy Manager, will close off the day with a speech on sustainability, considering both an environmental approach together with a corporate vision.
"Organizing a rotogravure event is essential to show the high level of competence and the great Italian know-how in such technology. Italy is one of the world's leading gravure manufacturers – explains Acimga's General Manager Andrea Briganti -. It took us a great organizational effort to give Italian Rotogravure the event it actually deserves, virtually opening the conference day in Florence to an international audience, with the possibility to follow the event in live streaming, with simultaneous translation in English. Roto4All is an addition to training webinars, publications, and technical tables on national and international regulations. A kind of work that as a trade association we are doing more and more for all printing, packaging and converting technologies".

On the beautiful Bodrum Peninsula, Amanruya sits on the side of a hill in a peaceful, sheltered position. The hotel is around 15 minutes' drive from the bustling Turkish resort of Bodrum, with its wide array of shops, eateries, bars and clubs. Amanruya Bodrum offers a large infinity pool, private beach, four restaurants and spa and fitness facilities, as well as a beach club.
Palatial Pavilions
Amanruya's 36 pavilions are built in traditional stone, yet within their interiors are modern and up-to-date. These Turkish pavilions with Mediterranean architectural influences all open out onto pretty gardens, some with breathtaking views over the Aegean sea. All come with private pools, outdoor pergolas, four-poster king-size beds, handmade kilim rugs, air-conditioning and underfloor heating. There is also Wi-Fi, as well as a Nespresso coffee machine and personal bar. From the bathtub, there are stunning garden views, and each bathroom also has a separate rainfall shower.
An eclectic local mix
A mix of Mediterranean styles is infused into Amanruya's unique, eclectic food. Choose to eat in the Dining Pavilion, in the Wine Cellar featuring stunning vaulted ceilings, or in your very own pavilion. You may also opt to take a table in any one of Amanruya's lounges. Fresh bread is baked on-site on a daily basis, and dishes make great use of locally grown organic produce and olive oils. Fish and seafood, of course, come straight to you from the Aegean Sea. Informal meze sharing platters are a huge part of the Turkish culinary way of life and make for a great indoor or outdoor picnic.
Ancient ruins, shopping and sandy beaches
There's plenty to explore in the local area, with the attractions of Bodrum and Gumbet - with its sandy beach - within easy reach. Ancient ruins abound on the Bodrum Peninsula. Otherwise, don't miss the fabulous spa, as well as the green marble lined swimming pool. A fitness room, yoga studio and tennis court are also available.

We have been using Azure to arrange our holidays for over 12 years. Every year usually twice a year, sometimes more, we rely on the experienced team at Chester to provide expert information on our chosen destinations. Be it a return to our established favorites in Barbados and Dubai or a new and exiting destination chosen from Azures brochure it is always handled in a friendly and competent manner. The small details are not missed such as do we need late check out or early arrival, which can make such a difference after sometimes long hours travelling. For us using Azure takes the uncertainty out of booking holidays.
We have been booking our holidays through Azure for 10 years and we can thoroughly recommend them. The Azure team arrange amazing holidays, well chosen destinations and hotels with a tailored itinerary that runs like clockwork with so many wonderful extras, it really takes the time and stress out of planning. When the weather has disrupted our journeys, their 24 hour service has provided us with 5* rescues! Nothing is too much trouble for Azure staff and the same goes for all the staff we have met on our Azure holidays which really are out of this world. We continue to recommend your company and all your wonderful team and look forward to our next holiday with you.
Well we are back in the UK after an amazing trip for a very special birthday and must thank Azure in Chester and Jayne O'Gorman for organising everything after we won the auction bid for this trip with SeaDream Yacht Club at Valerie's Summer Ball last year! We had the trip of a lifetime, met amazing people, visited fabulous places and befriended the superb crew aboard SeaDream I. We couldn't fault a single thing onboard - just amazing and hope we can meet the crew again at some future date! I even cried when i had to leave! Well done Azure and Jayne O'Gorman.
My first experience with Azure was when they came to my rescue when my family and I were stranded abroad on holiday without accommodation, their professionalism and ability to make things happen at very very short notice was second to none. They were very knowledgeable and were able to utilise their many relationships within the industry to get things resolved for me within an hour. I can't praise them enough for rescuing my family's holiday and making it a truly memorable time. Since then the team always do their best to make my holidays the best they can possibly be based on their own vast travel knowledge and experiences. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and wouldn't use anyone else for luxurious travel.

Say NO to F.E.A.R.
Category : Healing, Outreach, Testimonies
I was eating lunch at the mall when I looked up and saw an older gentleman eating at another table. I heard the Lord say, "He has arthritis and I want to heal him!" Immediately I felt fear and began to argue with myself as to whether or not I would go and talk to him. Usually I end up making excuses and talking myself out of it. Not this time! "I am going to do it!" I told myself. "I am not going to listen to fear!" I went over and introduced myself and asked the man if he had arthritis. He said yes, in his knees. He told me it was painful. I asked if I could pray for him. He said yes. I prayed for him and then asked him to check his knees. He said all the pain was gone! He had a big smile on his face and tears in his eyes. Later I remembered the acronym for F.E.A.R. = False Evidence Appearing Real. Say no to fear! Say yes to Jesus!

Someone who prefers to remain anonymous asks for my thoughts on this post by Michael Corrigan and Robert Whitaker, "Lancet Psychiatry Needs to Retract the ADHD-Enigma Study: Authors' conclusion that individuals with ADHD have smaller brains is belied by their own data," which begins:
Lancet Psychiatry, a UK-based medical journal, recently published a study titled Subcortical brain volume differences in participants with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children and adults: A cross-sectional mega-analysis. According to the paper's 82 authors, the study provides definitive evidence that individuals with ADHD have altered, smaller brains. But as the following detailed review reveals, the study does not come close to supporting such claims.
Below are tons of detail, so let me lead with my conclusion, which is that the criticisms coming from Corrigan and Whitaker seem reasonable to me. That is, based on my quick read, the 82 authors of that published paper seem to have made a big mistake in what they wrote.
I'd be interested to see if the authors have offered any reply to these criticisms. The article has just recently come out—the journal publication is dated April 2017—and I'd like to see what the authors have to say.
OK, on to the details. Here are Corrigan and Whitaker:
The study is beset by serious methodological shortcomings, missing data issues, and statistical reporting errors and omissions. The conclusion that individuals with ADHD have smaller brains is contradicted by the "effect-size" calculations that show individual brain volumes in the ADHD and control cohorts largely overlapped. . . .
Their results, the authors concluded, contained important messages for clinicians: "The data from our highly powered analysis confirm that patients with ADHD do have altered brains and therefore that ADHD is a disorder of the brain." . . .
The press releases sent to the media reflected the conclusions in the paper, and the headlines reported by the media, in turn, accurately summed up the press releases. Here is a sampling of headlines:
Given the implications of this study's claims, it deserves to be closely analyzed. Does the study support the conclusion that children and adults with ADHD have "altered brains," as evidenced by smaller volumes in different regions of the brain? . . .
Alternative Headline: Large Study Finds Children with ADHD Have Higher IQs!
To discover this finding, you need to spend $31.50 to purchase the article, and then make a special request to Lancet Psychiatry to send you the appendix. Then you will discover, on pages 7 to 9 in the appendix, a "Table 2" that provides IQ scores for both the ADHD cohort and the controls.
Although there were 23 clinical sites in the study, only 20 reported comparative IQ data. In 16 of the 20, the ADHD cohort had higher IQs on average than the control group. In the other four clinics, the ADHD and control groups had the same average IQ (with the mean IQ scores for both groups within two points of each other.) Thus, at all 20 sites, the ADHD group had a mean IQ score that was equal to, or higher than, the mean IQ score for the control group. . . .
And why didn't the authors discuss the IQ data in their paper, or utilize it in their analyses? . . . Indeed, if the IQ data had been promoted in the study's abstract and to the media, the public would now be having a new discussion: Is it possible that children diagnosed with ADHD are more intelligent than average? . . .
They Did Not Find That Children Diagnosed with ADHD Have Smaller Brain Volumes . . .
For instance, the authors reported a Cohen's d effect size of .19 for differences in the mean volume of the accumbens in children under 15. . . in this study, for youth under 15, it was the largest effect size of all the brain volume comparisons that were made. . . . Approximately 58% of the ADHD youth in this convenience sample had an accumbens volume below the average in the control group, while 42% of the ADHD youth had an accumbens volume above the average in the control group. Also, if you knew the accumbens volume of a child picked at random, you would have a 54% chance that you could correctly guess which of the two cohorts—ADHD or healthy control—the child belonged to. . . . The diagnostic value of an MRI brain scan, based on the findings in this study, would be of little more predictive value than the toss of a coin. . . .
The authors reported that the "volumes of the accumbens, amygdala, caudate, hippocampus, putamen, and intracranial volume were smaller in individuals with ADHD compared with controls in the mega-analysis" (p. 1). If this is true, then smaller brain volumes should show up in the data from most, if not all, of the 21 sites that had a control group. But that was not the case. . . . The problem here is obvious. If authors are claiming that smaller brain regions are a defining "abnormality" of ADHD, then such differences should be consistently found in mean volumes of ADHD cohorts at all sites. The fact that there was such variation in mean volume data is one more reason to see the authors' conclusions—that smaller brain volumes are a defining characteristic of ADHD—as unsupported by the data. . . .
And now here's what the original paper said:
We aimed to investigate whether there are structural differences in children and adults with ADHD compared with those without this diagnosis. In this cross-sectional mega-analysis [sic; see P.P.S. below], we used the data from the international ENIGMA Working Group collaboration, which in the present analysis was frozen at Feb 8, 2015. Individual sites analysed structural T1-weighted MRI brain scans with harmonised protocols of individuals with ADHD compared with those who do not have this diagnosis. . . .
Our sample comprised 1713 participants with ADHD and 1529 controls from 23 sites . . . The volumes of the accumbens (Cohen's d=–0·15), amygdala (d=–0·19), caudate (d=–0·11), hippocampus (d=–0·11), putamen (d=–0·14), and intracranial volume (d=–0·10) were smaller in individuals with ADHD compared with controls in the mega-analysis. There was no difference in volume size in the pallidum (p=0·95) and thalamus (p=0·39) between people with ADHD and controls.
The above demonstrates some forking paths, and there are a bunch more in the published paper, for example:
Exploratory lifespan modelling suggested a delay of maturation and a delay of degeneration, as e ect sizes were highest in most subgroups of children (<15 years) versus adults (>21 years): in the accumbens (Cohen's d=–0·19 vs –0·10), amygdala (d=–0·18 vs –0·14), caudate (d=–0·13 vs –0·07), hippocampus (d=–0·12 vs –0·06), putamen (d=–0·18 vs –0·08), and intracranial volume (d=–0·14 vs 0·01). There was no di erence between children and adults for the pallidum (p=0·79) or thalamus (p=0·89). Case-control differences in adults were non-signi cant (all p>0·03). Psychostimulant medication use (all p>0·15) or symptom scores (all p>0·02) did not in uence results, nor did the presence of comorbid psychiatric disorders (all p>0·5). . . .
Outliers were identified at above and below one and a half times the interquartile range per cohort and group (case and control) and were excluded . . . excluding collinearity of age, sex, and intracranial volume (variance in ation factor <1·2) . . . The model included diagnosis (case=1 and control=0) as a factor of interest, age, sex, and intracranial volume as fixed factors, and site as a random factor. In the analysis of intracranial volume, this variable was omitted as a covariate from the model. Handedness was added to the model to correct for possible effects of lateralisation, but was excluded from the model when there was no significant contribution of this factor. . . . stratified by age: in children aged 14 years or younger, adolescents aged 15–21 years, and adults aged 22 years and older. We removed samples that were left with ten patients or fewer because of the stratification. . . .
Forking paths are fine; I have forking paths in every analysis I've ever done. But forking paths render published p-values close to meaningless; in particular I have no reason to take seriously a statement such as, "p values were significant at the false discovery rate corrected threshold of p=0·0156," from the summary of the paper.
So let's forget about p-values and just look at the data graphs, which appear in the published paper:
Unfortunately these are not raw data or even raw averages for each age; instead they are "moving averages, corrected for age, sex, intracranial volume, and site for the subcortical volumes." But we'll take what we've got.
From the above graphs, it doesn't seem like much of anything is going on: the blue and red lines cross all over the place! So now I don't understand this summary graph from the paper:
I mean, sure, I see it for Accumbens, I guess, if you ignore the older people. But, for the others, the lines in the displayed age curves cross all over the place.
The article in question has the following list of authors: Martine Hoogman, Janita Bralten, Derrek P Hibar, Maarten Mennes, Marcel P Zwiers, Lizanne S J Schweren, Kimm J E van Hulzen, Sarah E Medland, Elena Shumskaya, Neda Jahanshad, Patrick de Zeeuw, Eszter Szekely, Gustavo Sudre, Thomas Wolfers, Alberdingk M H Onnink, Janneke T Dammers, Jeanette C Mostert, Yolanda Vives-Gilabert, Gregor Kohls, Eileen Oberwelland, Jochen Seitz, Martin Schulte-Rüther, Sara Ambrosino, Alysa E Doyle, Marie F Høvik, Margaretha Dramsdahl, Leanne Tamm, Theo G M van Erp, Anders Dale, Andrew Schork, Annette Conzelmann, Kathrin Zierhut, Ramona Baur, Hazel McCarthy, Yuliya N Yoncheva, Ana Cubillo, Kaylita Chantiluke, Mitul A Mehta, Yannis Paloyelis, Sarah Hohmann, Sarah Baumeister, Ivanei Bramati, Paulo Mattos, Fernanda Tovar-Moll, Pamela Douglas, Tobias Banaschewski, Daniel Brandeis, Jonna Kuntsi, Philip Asherson, Katya Rubia, Clare Kelly, Adriana Di Martino, Michael P Milham, Francisco X Castellanos, Thomas Frodl, Mariam Zentis, Klaus-Peter Lesch, Andreas Reif, Paul Pauli, Terry L Jernigan, Jan Haavik, Kerstin J Plessen, Astri J Lundervold, Kenneth Hugdahl, Larry J Seidman, Joseph Biederman, Nanda Rommelse, Dirk J Heslenfeld, Catharina A Hartman, Pieter J Hoekstra, Jaap Oosterlaan, Georg von Polier, Kerstin Konrad, Oscar Vilarroya, Josep Antoni Ramos-Quiroga, Joan Carles Soliva, Sarah Durston, Jan K Buitelaar, Stephen V Faraone, Philip Shaw, Paul M Thompson, Barbara Franke.
I also found a webpage for their research group, featuring this wonderful map:
The number of sites looks particularly impressive when you include each continent twice like that. But they should really do some studies in Antarctica, given how huge it appears to be!
P.S. Following the links, I see that Corrigan and Whitaker come into this with a particular view:
Mad in America's mission is to serve as a catalyst for rethinking psychiatric care in the United States (and abroad). We believe that the current drug-based paradigm of care has failed our society, and that scientific research, as well as the lived experience of those who have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, calls for profound change.
This does not mean that the critics are wrong—presumably the authors of the original paper came into their research with their own strong views—; it can just be helpful to know where they're coming from.
P.P.S. The paper discussed above uses the term "mega-analysis." At first I thought this might be some sort of typo, but apparently the expression does exist and has been around for awhile. From my quick search, it appears that the term was first used by James Dillon in a 1982 article, "Superanalysis," in Evaluation News, where he defined mega-analysis as "a method for synthesizing the results of a series of meta-analyses."
But in the current literature, "mega-analysis" seems to simply refer to a meta-anlaysis that uses the raw data from the original studies.
If so, I'm unhappy with the term "mega-analysis" because: (a) The "mega" seems a bit hypey, (b) What if the original studies are small? Then even all the data combined might not be so "mega"?, and (c) I don't like the implication that plain old "meta-analysis" doesn't use the raw data. I'm pretty sure that the vast majority of meta-analyses use only published summaries, but I've always thought of it as the preferred version of meta-anlaysis to use the original data.
I bring up this mega-analysis thing not as a criticism of the Hoogman et al. paper—they're just using what appears to be a standard term in their field—but just as an interesting side-note.
P.P.P.S. The above post represents my current impression. As I wrote, I'd be interested to see the original authors' reply to the criticism. Lancet does have a pretty bad reputation—it's known for publishing flawed, sensationalist work—but I'm sure they run the occasional good article too. So I wouldn't want to make any strong judgments in this case before hearing more.
P.P.P.P.S. Regarding the title of this post: No, I don't think Lancet would ever retract this paper, even if all the above criticisms are correct. It seems that retraction is used only in response to scientific misconduct, not in response to mere error. So when I say "retraction," I mean what one might call "conceptual retraction." The real question is: Will this new paper join the list of past Lancet papers which we would not want to take seriously, and which we regret were ever published?

When to perform:
This basic troubleshooting step should be the first thing you attempt when SIDD isn't working as expected. Some specific reasons to perform this:
- SIDD buttons are not showing
- SIDD consistently shows the message "Something went wrong" when analyzing cases
- SIDD consistently shows the message "Something went wrong" when exporting templates
- Open your Task Manager by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESC or press the Windows key on your keyboard & searching for 'Task Manager' in the bottom left search field of your screen.
- Click on the "Details" tab. If you do not see the details tab, first click the "More details" button at the bottom.
- Scroll down the list to processes starting with 'S' (or simply press the S key) and look for the SIDD/SiddNodeCore processes.
- End the SiddNodeCore.exe task by right clicking it then clicking "End Task". Doing this should refresh the connection between the various SIDD processes.
Note: It may take a minute or two for the connection to be corrected, and the buttons to start showing.
Is there anything we could do to improve this article? Did the above steps not answer your question or resolve your SIDD issue? If so, please reach out to us via Live Chat, submit a ticket or send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will assist as soon as possible!

Day 107: We Need a Theme Song
The story that kind of connects:
I'm sure you will be shocked to know that, outside of this blog, Lara and I lead intense email lives. In a recent hourly group exchange with friends, we batted the following question back and forth. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. And I laugh a lot. Laughing, like berries (remember that post?) is great for your health.
What is the most inappropriate song you can think of to play for a couple's first dance at a wedding?
Poppy and apparently upbeat ones:
That Boy is Mine, Brandy and Monica
Under Pressure, Queen/David Bowie
I'm a Slave For You, Britney Spears
Stuck in a Moment, U2
Love The One You're With, Crosby Stills & Nash
I Don't Want to be a Player No More, ?
Stan, Dido's remix with Eminem
I Touch Myself, Divinyls (?)
Goodbye Earl, Dixie Chicks
Inappropriate slow songs that would be funny and make people go "huh?":
She's Like the Wind, Patrick Swayze
Lady in Red, ?
I Do or Hallelujah, Jude covers
Behind the Wall, Tracey Chapman
Strong Enough, Sheryl Crow
Foolish Games, Jewel
Better Man, Pearl Jam
Both Sides Now, Joni Mitchell
We need your help. Think of more. And we also need a themesong. Why? Because maybe then the people who had this discussion (above) will be a bit more animated when they read this blog (see below for pic of non-animated non-enjoyable blog-reading due to lack of themesong).
9 comments:
During their most frenzied LSD period, the Grateful Dead used to perform a painfully loud, long "sound poem" consisting of guitar feedback, random drums and moaning. It was called "What Have They Done With the Baby?"
Uncle Paul recalls that at his brother's wedding, the bride and groom's first dance was to a Bob Dylan song, "You Ain't Going Nowhere." Paul's father comented, "That's appropriate!" (They later divorced.)
- Lana said...
wow, i laughed SO HARD at this post. i mean i was privvy to the initial emails before this post and i STILL laughed SO HARD. bc its THAT funny. i mean, she's like the wind??? i'm a slave for you? that's funny shit people. also funny is Uncle Paul's Bob Dylan marriage song.
i think that pic is when we're watching that one brit's performance where she strips. remember that? it was such a hot act. oh hot brit, where have you gone?
wait this is funny: there is crazy slang in london, and a "Britney" at a bar means a beer (think "we'll have a round of britney's!") because Britney, Britney Spears, Spear & Beers rhyme. yup, it's all about obscure rhymes here in london.
anyway, mmm a song for your blog... i'm thinking. maybe like:
1. Wasting Time - Jack Johnson. Appropriate (even though you're being productive) and very shill.
2. "Love" by Mos Def - seriously a great song. Upbeat, fantastic lyrics for you girls (bc its about positivity and LOVE!) and would be SO hot on a blog.
3. Island in the Sun by Weezer
4. Man! I feel like a Woman by Shania (i'm kidding).
5. All I Really Want - by Alanis. throwback to middle school angst, girl rage, girl power, and overall good shit. I HEART YOU ALANIS!
6. (i saved the best for last)if you just want a cool awesome chill song, go with "De Camino a la Vereda" by Ibrahim Ferre (it's from the Buena Vista Social Club soundtrack). it's perfect because it doesn't "mean" anything (lyrically) about your blog or what you do or whatever, and there aren't many lyrics so the song won't distract the reader as they chuckle over your day's antics. it's also not commercial at all.
- Sunshine said...
*Standing with my hand on my hips, making an appropriately pouty face* But I love Lady in Red. It's my favorite song, ever! T and I are going to dance to that when we get married. I don't care what y'all say - cheesy 80's music rocks!
- Claire and Lara said...
i(e)nquiring minds want to know...tell us about T, saavysunshine...
- Sarah said...
i nominate chris isaac's "wicked game" for HatetoHelp. maybe manu chau's "bongo bong" for this one? although the lyrics issue is a good one so maybe something without any would be best.
p.s. love your blog! very envious of your travels!!
- Mari said...
I think Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "What a wonderful world" is an obvious choice for Claire, in light of her self-proclaimed affinity for hawaiian music. Paul Simon would also be a good choice (Lana: he's a famous singer. Look it up). Don't know of any appropriate eukelele songs for HatetoHelp...
- Mari said...
another inappropriate marriage song would be "two person party" (also features eukelele). Lara, you remember don't you?
"It's a two person party toniiiiiight. Take off your clothes I'll turn out the light..."
Yesterday by the Beatles. This actually happened at my friend's wedding (in Turkey, and fortunately not too many people spoke English fluently enough).

BC Place Wins IES Lighting Control Innovation Award Of Merit
The Lighting Control Innovation Award was created in 2011 as part of the Illuminating Engineering Society's Illumination Awards program, which recognizes professionalism, ingenuity and originality in lighting design. BC Place has received the Lighting Control Innovation award for the month of March.
The lighting design focused on the façade, the roof and support structure. Using a sophisticated computer controls system capable of processing color and sequenced lighting shows the design provided preprogrammed and live control of the building façade and roof with the ability to change its appearance both statically and dynamically.
by どこでもいっしょ
BC Place is by far the best use of lighting in the city of Vancouver, with Science World and City Hall being other notable buildings with great lighting feature.
In a city that is dark and grey for six months of the year, one would think that the city's architecture would attempt to brighten up the night sky. However, in Vancouver, lighting features on buildings for the most part are non-existent or if they do feature great lighting features, neighbours will scream light pollution in an effort to protect their suburban dream in an urban setting. The most notable example of that would be the West Pender Place lighting battle.
