text: Hello, I've sent a previous e-mail entitled "newbie: rsh and pvm problems" that should be available in last week's mailings. With your help I've been able to solve the rsh problem. It turned out to be that the wrong permissions were set in a couple PAM files. However, pvm will not start on my nodes. These nodes use the etherboot package to boot from a floppy, and NFS mount their root filesystem from a server node. Each node has a unique filesystem with the exception of the /home directory, which they share with the server, all other nodes, and our development workstations. This helps make sure that user profiles and files are consistant within the cluster. Also, the /tmp directory has permissions 1777 so anyone can write to it. In testing I've set up my $PVM_TMP to point to /tmp/<username> so that I can avoid seeing other users pvmd and pvml files. This is all to describe my setup. Now to the problem. When I manually login (not remote, but with keyboard and monitor) a node and try to start pvm with just typing "pvm" it gives the following lines: libpvm [pid #] /tmp/<username>/pvmd.<uid>: No such file or directory libpvm [pid #]: Console: can't start pvmd My directory exists and there is not a thing there, which is verified because I just created it. Furthermore, my pvml.<uid> file is created with the following comments: pvmd[pid #] date time mksocs() socket loclsock: Invalid argument pvmd[pid #] date time pvmbailout(0) When starting pvm remotely by addining it into an already running daemon (say adding a node from our server node) I recieve the following messages: PVM Daemon Files Found on <node>! And it proceeds to tell me to delete any present pvmd.<uid> files or socket files. However, nothing is present in my /tmp/<username> directory or the /tmp directory (having been freshly deleted before trying this). Could these errors be the result of NFS, or is there another file that is causing the problems. I created the nodes from the /bin, /sbin, /lib, and other directories of our server node tar'ed into a template directory, the executables and libraries of which are hard linked by all other nodes. Additionally, I use the bash/bash2 shell and all of my pvm variables are declared in the .bashrc file in my $HOME directory. Any help or guidance is very much appreciated.

Dysfunctional Metabolism Issues
There are a few variations on the idea that allergies can create or activate autism. One popular form suggests that food allergies are responsible for autism. Traditionally, allergies are thought of as environmental sensitivities. Sensitive people's bodies are unable to handle contact with allergic substances, and a variety of symptoms of irritation may occur. Usually, allergies manifest as irritations of the body, but in the case of autism, it is proposed, that allergens irritate the mind or brain instead.
Some people have difficulty digesting various proteins found in a typical diet, for example, casein proteins (found in dairy products) and gluten proteins (found in wheat products), or, alternatively, refined sugars, additives and preservatives. The allergen model of autism suggests that undigested or partially digested proteins or other compounds from these or other sources set off a chain of events resulting in the production of psychoactive chemicals that affect brain function, possibly by creating opioid-like hallucinogenic substances that act on the brain in a toxic manner. In this model, allergens like various indigestible proteins function as sources of stress that release an underlying diathesis/vulnerability, which is probably the failure of the body to manufacture an enzyme capable of metabolizing the offending proteins in the first place. According to researcher Alan Friedman, the particular enzyme in question is dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DDP-IV), and autistic people either are incapable of manufacturing this enzyme, or manufacture it in inadequate amounts due either to a genetic malfunction, or an autoimmune problem. Despite the attractiveness of food allergy theories, there is no conclusive evidence to date that all autistic people have food allergies. At best, food allergy models may account for only a portion of autistim cases.
Gastrointestinal Issues
A variation on the food allergy theory was introduced by Dr. Andrew Wakefield in a famous 1998 study published in the Lancet, a prestigious British medical journal. Dr. Wakefield described a small number of children with pervasive developmental disorders who presented to his clinic with seriously inflamed bowels which he thought had occurred as a reaction to MMR vaccine exposure (e.g., mercury toxicity/sensitivity). Dr. Wakefield suggested that the intestinal problems he observed were somehow connected to an inflammatory process producing chemical imbalances in his patients' brains, resulting in autism. While other researchers have found limited support for the idea that a subset of patients with autism also have colon inflammation problems, or other gastrointestinal issues (e.g., "leaky gut" problems where undigested proteins leak out of the intestines before the process of digestion is complete), it is not clear at this time that there is any causative link between colon problems and autism itself. Some researchers have suggested that rather than gastrointestinal problems causing a chemical imbalance leading to autism, that the reverse might be true; pre-existing chemical imbalance (specifically a lack of Secretin; a hormone and neurotransmitter that controls digestion) might cause gastrointestinal problems. Still other researchers have suggested that gastrointestinal irritation actually disrupts the brain directly through nervous system hyper-stimulation rather than through chemical means. The jury is still out on this one; more research will have to be conducted before the respective roles of diet, food allergy, gastrointestinal problems and autism are sorted out.
Autoimmune Issues and Myelin Problems
Autoimmune theories suggest that children with autism develop an immune reaction to their brain's own myelin (the fatty insulating layer that covers neurons) early on in their development, perhaps in the wake of a viral infection, or even, it has been suggested, as a result of a reaction to vaccinations (quite independently of their mercury content). Myelin is essential for proper functioning of individual neurons and the brain as a whole. Damage to myelin interferes quite directly with proper brain functioning. Evidence for this autoimmune theory comes from several studies showing that autistic children have measurably more (up to eight times more) immune system antibodies for myelin basic protein and neuron-axon filament protein than typical children and children with mental retardation as well. It is hard to know exactly what to make of this finding, however. Further research will be necessary to illuminate whether autoimmune findings are meaningful with regard to autism.

Stay Tuned for Sports, Traffic, and Swine Flu
The dreaded Mexican Pig Flu will be back. Oh yes. Of that, there is no question. A few months from now, you will wake up to hear daily Swine Flu Reports sandwiched between weather and traffic. Not a joke!
A major focus of planning for the fall, officials say, is to avoid being swamped by a similar, possibly bigger, demand for emergency room services. Some hospital officials are advocating putting out daily swine flu bulletins - modeled after announcements on alternate-side parking or lottery numbers - about issues like when to seek treatment.
The future of New York City's health is in Pat Kiernan's able hands. Or maybe the hands of whoever's on at midnight, if the government decides to put you on a mandatory night shift at your job:
The city is considering, in a worst case, measures like canceling big gatherings and staggering work hours, said Dr. Isaac B. Weisfuse, the city's deputy health commissioner for disease control, who has been studying the flu pandemic of 1918.

The context for my comment was under your assumption that everyone uses MPI_Send(). These people, as I stated before, do not care about what the CPU does during their blocking calls. I was trying to point out that programs utilizing non-blocking IO may have work that will be adversely impacted by CPU utilization for messaging. These are the people who care about CPU utilization for messaging. This I hopes answers your prior question, at least partially. Perhaps your applications demand low latency with no concern for the CPU during the time spent blocking. That is fine. But some applications benefit from overlapping computation and communication, and the cycles not wasted by the CPU on communication can be used productively. Isaac Dooley

text: A Sinking Feeling January 25, 2013 08:13 PM Tweet Workers began removing 890 cubic yards of limestone from the navigation channel on the Mississippi River near Thebes, Ill., on Dec. 17. The rock is left over from blasting that occurred during the drought of 1988-89. © U.S. Army Corps of Engineers TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Farm Journal Editors Email Written by Nate Birt & Tyne Morgan Farmers, shippers worry about commerce with low Mississippi River levels As Mississippi River levels drop, it's no wonder farmers are getting a sinking feeling. "It's a Superhighway 101," says Steve Launius, a producer who grows wheat, soybeans and corn in Washington County, Ill., near the Mississippi River. Producers are using the river more now than 20 years ago because of international demand for U.S. agricultural products, he says. The drought-stressed river is threatening to halt barge traffic, putting a vital infrastructure vein at risk. It hasn't been this low since the winter of 1988-89. During that time, the Mississippi River shut down in the St. Louis area for nearly 30 days. So far this year, the U.S. Coast Guard hasn't closed the river. But sinking water levels pose a major threat to barge traffic because they expose rock pinnacles, a group of which are located near Thebes, Ill., south of St. Louis. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is required to maintain a 9' channel depth for shipping. It hopes to meet that stipulation in part by removing the rock formations. While the Army Corps originally planned to do that by bringing contractors to perform blasting, further assessment revealed that mechanical removal would be the most effective and safest option. As the river drops, it's a race against the clock. The shipping channel must be at least 9' deep and 300' wide for barges to travel safely. "If you ground on sand, that's a problem, but if you rip open on a rock, that's a serious issue, so we want to make sure we can keep commerce moving safely," says Mike Petersen, spokesman for the St. Louis branch of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The rocks are left over from the blasting that happened during the 1988-89 drought. During that time, about 125,000 cubic yards of rock were removed from the river at Thebes and Grand Tower. Pinnacle removal has gone better than expected, and the 10' deep channel of water is expected to facilitate shipping through at least the end of January, says Martin Hettel, senior manager of bulk sales with St. Louis-based AEP River Operations. Rain and snowfall in January contributed to the extra depth. Each month, 8.8 million tons of agricultural goods and other products are shipped between St. Louis and Cairo, Ill. "Economics is going to shut the river down," Hettel says. It would take 11,750 trucks per day or 3,000 rail cars per day to compensate for lost barge traffic, he says, and those quantities are impossible to achieve. He thinks the Corps of Engineers should do more to help ensure the river stays open. One suggestion from Hettel and farm groups such as the National Corn Growers Association is to release water from the Missouri River. Petersen says it's not that simple. "Once it's gone, it's gone," Petersen says. "We can't guarantee that it's going to get replaced by next year because right now, forecasts say we're going to have below-normal precipitation. We have to be very careful with what we do with our water." Hettel says nearly 10,000 jobs could be in jeopardy in Illinois and Missouri if river traffic grinds to a halt. "Add to that the dependency foreign countries have on our export products," Hettel says. "The grain that the farmer moves to the Gulf to go overseas, they need that for food. If we're not reliable and can't deliver, will they go to other countries such as South America to get their grains?" Getting products where they need to go and the cost of shipping are two top issues for Goat Patterson, president of Osage Marine Services Inc. The St. Louis-based shipping company transports agricultural goods such as grains and fertilizer, along with other products, up and down the Mississippi. While river levels in mid-January sat at -1.6' below normal stage at St. Louis, they are projected to fall to between -6.5' and -7' in mid-February. If that happens, shippers will be forced to load even less cargo to keep barges from scraping the river bottom. "It doesn't look very promising at all," Patterson says. For farmers, depending on the severity and duration, it's possible the economic repercussions of a long river shutdown could be greater than those of Hurricane Sandy, says Paul Rohde, vice president of Waterways Council, Inc. for the Midwest area. "We need to make the best of a bad situation and figure out a way to keep the river navigable for as long as possible," adds Veronica Nigh, economist with the American Farm Bureau Federation. Closing the river to barge traffic would likely raise prices for producers. Fertilizer, for example, would go up 10% to 15%. Corn, soybean and soft red winter wheat prices along the river are being affected, with farmers seeing drops between 15¢ to 30¢ per bushel as grain elevators either run out of storage space or fear doing so, Nigh says. In mid-January, the Mississippi River level at St. Louis was -1.6' below normal stage. It is projected to fall to between -6.5' and -7' below normal stage in mid-February, which would represent a low-water record for that location, according to National Weather Service data. Normally, corn comprises 75% of the total grain carried on the Mississippi. There is also concern that exporters who have already sold soybeans for January and March might have to pay extra to ensure shipments reach their destination via rail or truck. That won't hurt producers who've already sold grain at pre-negotiated rates, Nigh says, but it will affect the bottom line for grain-exporting companies. The solution. The ultimate fix is moisture. "Without significant and sustained rainfall, this isn't going anywhere anytime soon," Rohde says. A balanced approach is needed to maintain the river's flow, adds Illinois farmer Launius. Removal of rock formations and releases of water from upstream are all options to keep the river open for commerce, avoiding devastating economic impacts for the region and the agriculture industry.

Read an exclusive Royce Gracie interview!
"The idea of jiu jitsu is to give the little guy, a chance to beat the big guy."
Royce Gracie (here with Dan Severn).
Royce Gracie is a legend. He started the NHB world and ruled it as its king. Before his first fights in UFC 1, all traditional strike-oriented martial artists underestimated the importance of grappling. From the days of the first UFC to his return to the ring of Pride and his epic battle against the renowned champion Kazushi Sakuraba, Royce Gracie has lived to defend the family honour and name of Gracie and has managed to show everyone that martial arts can be effective.
Royce Gracie was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
After his victory in the first UFC 1, Gracie did not boast that his triumph had proved to the world the superiority of his family's style of jujutsu, nor did he brag that it had proved he was the toughest fighter in the world. Instead, he merely said: "It will open
everybody's eyes, especially the weaker guys, that you don't have to be a monster to be the champ. You don't have to be the biggest guy or the one who hits the hardest. And you don't have to get hurt in a fight." With those three sentences, Gracie gave hope to thousands of martial artists who, like him, may not be the biggest or the strongest in their dojo, but who depend on perfect technique to overcome their opponents in competition.
Royce seems very proud of the fact that his system of self-defense allows him to neutralize and control any
opponent without injury to either party.
Royce Gracie lost for the first time in a grappling-only match with another Brazilian-jujutsu expert, Wallid Ismail, at the Rio Oscars of Jiu-Jitsu at Copacobana Beach
on December 17, 1998.
Royce lost a second time (TKO - Towel Thrown Between Rounds) in Pride Grand Prix 2000 - Finals.
In this epic battle against the renowned champion Kazushi Sakuraba Royce fought
like a lion.
Royce Gracie lost these fights, proving that he is only human. He did not lose against any huge guys but against skilled martial artists, proving that he will not lose against brute force and muscles full of steroids. Even the great Muhammad Ali lost a few fights but he still is the greatest boxer of all time.
In the ring, the 180-pound Gracie exudes a confidence and single-minded intensity guaranteed to destroy the mind-set of even the burliest brawler. Yet once he steps outside the ring, he metamorphoses into one of the gentlest, friendliest men imaginable. But that unshakable confidence still shows through, at times even seeming like arrogance when Gracie's comments are translated into print.
See some pictures of Royce fighting Wallid Ismael (Thanks to Paulo Ruy Barbosa):

Beck, Meusburger reach Gastein Ladies quarters
BAD GASTEIN, Austria (AP) — Annika Beck of Germany came from behind to beat Mandy Minella of Luxembourg 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 and reach her fifth quarterfinal of the season at the Gastein Ladies on Thursday.
The second-seeded Beck double-faulted five times in the opening set and saved 12 break points in total. She will next play eighth-seeded Karin Knapp of Italy.
Also, 2007 finalist Yvonne Meusburger of Austria defeated third-seeded Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania 6-3, 6-3. Meusburger, who reached the final in Budapast last week, converted seven of 10 break points.
Meusburger will next play Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands, who rallied from a set and a break down to beat Estrella Cabeza Candela of Spain 5-7, 7-5, 6-3.
Elina Svitolina of Ukraine beat sixth-seeded Chanelle Scheepers of South Africa 7-5, 1-6, 6-1 and will face Patricia Mayr-Achleitner in the last eight. Svilotina scored just four points against Scheepers' serve in the second set but broke her opponent four times in the decider.
Mayr-Achleitner became the third Austrian player after Meusburger and Lisa-Maria Moser to reach the quarterfinals by defeating Petra Martic of Croatia 6-4, 6-4.

Clinically Proven Oral Chelation
By: Jon Barron
Heavy Metals are becoming such a major problem today that finding a formula that removes them has always been one of my top priorities. In 2003, I created an organic, oral chelation formula for Baseline Nutritionals®. It's one of my favorite formulas, but other than a handful of doctors who each regularly use nearly 100 bottles a month in their practices, very few people were aware of the power of this formula the first two years it was available. But, with the release of the clinical studies in 2005 proving its effectiveness, that changed.
Clinical studies completed in September 2005 prove that it's possible to naturally remove an average of 87% of Lead, 91% of Mercury, and 74% of Aluminum from the body within 42 days. The study was conducted by healthcare professionals at The Optimal Wellness Test Research Center in Nevada (not affiliated with Dr. Mercola's Optimal Wellness Center in Ilinois).
The problem with heavy metals is that they accumulate in the body causing numerous health problems that can seriously impact literally every major organ in the body. Studies show that heavy metals in the body may be implicated in everything from Alzheimer's to cardiovascular disease, from behavioral problems to kidney dysfunction, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, and even paralysis. The results of the clinical study on the formula should certainly be of interest to those looking for a proven, natural, affordable method for removing damaging heavy metals from the body.
Oral Chelation Study Summary
The study involved fifty subjects with various beginning wellness levels, age, exercise levels, race, sex, and health levels. Subjects were first tested with clean bodies -- meaning they consumed no prescription drugs, supplements, nor special diets for 1 week prior to their first use of said formula. Strict guidelines were followed during the study such as restrictions in using any other supplements, OTC drugs, or from altering their diets.
The results of the clinical study were stunning. Over the 42-day study, test subjects showed an average of 87% overall chelation of lead, 91% of mercury, and 74% overall chelation of aluminum. Five subjects showed a 100% reduction in their lead levels, seventeen subjects showed a 100% reduction in their mercury levels, and ten subjects showed a 92% reduction in their aluminum levels thereby reducing them to 0.0 µg/g creatinine for each metal.
The study also showed that nitrogen, nitrates, and ammonias increased overall to wellness numbers by 25%. This means that the product also decreased other toxic levels that are stored intra-cellular in the body. These toxins are often the cause of very low pH numbers that are difficult to move into normal wellness range. But while on the cilantro and chlorella formula, pH ranges moved an average of 33% into the wellness range. Eliminating the stored toxins and heavy metal toxins allows the cellular body to remove stored acids and other unbalancing fluids.
The researchers concluded that an organic herbal oral chelation formula of cilantro and chlorella is a very effective heavy metal chelator and a great product for those that have very acidic pH intra-cellular imbalances.
The Herbal Oral Chelation Formula
The formula is a tincture of cilantro and chlorella.
Why cilantro and chlorella?
Because cilantro changes the electric charge on intracellular deposits of heavy metals to a neutral state, which relaxes their tight bond to body tissue, freeing them up to be flushed from the body. Studies have shown that levels of mercury, lead, and aluminum in the urine increase significantly after consuming large amounts of cilantro.1 It seems that cilantro changes the electric charge on intracellular deposits of heavy metals to a neutral state, which relaxes their tight bond to body tissue, freeing them up to be flushed from the body2 -- exactly the results seen in the Clinical Study.
Once free, the next step is to actually facilitate the removal of the metals from the body. And here's where chlorella comes in. Chlorella possesses the capacity to absorb heavy metals. This property has been exploited as a means for treating industrial effluent that contains heavy metals before it is discharged, and to recover the bio-available fraction of the metal in the process. In studies undertaken in Germany, high doses of chlorella have been found to be very effective in eliminating heavy metals from the body – from the brain, intestinal wall, muscles, ligaments, connective tissue, and bone.3
Together, these herbs create a powerful oral chelation formula.
The bottom line is that this formula is now proven to be a major weapon in the fight against heavy metal toxicity. Once cleaned out after 42-days, a two week cleanse every 3-4 months should be enough to keep you relatively metal free – unless you eat a lot of high-mercury fish, or have more than a few amalgam fillings, in which case every 2 months is advisable. Incidentally, you do not want to use a chelation formula every day. Your body actually needs small amounts of some heavy metals.
Heavy Metal Toxicity
With the elimination of lead-based house-paint, and the increased use of lead-free gasoline, lead poisoning is certainly less prevalent. However, low-level toxicity is still an issue. Coal burning power plants still spew lead into the atmosphere, and like mercury and aluminum, the problem with lead is that it accumulates, unless you take active steps to remove it. The EPA estimates that 10 to 20 percent of human exposure to lead may come from lead in drinking water. Infants who consume mostly mixed formula can receive 40 to 60 percent of their exposure to lead from drinking water. The EPA warns that if lead is not detected early, children with high levels of lead in their bodies can suffer from damage to the brain and nervous system, behavior and learning problems (such as hyperactivity), slowed growth, headaches, and more. However, adults are still at risk and can suffer from reproductive problems (in both men and women), high blood pressure, digestive problems, nerve disorders, memory and concentration problems, and muscle and joint pain.
As for aluminum, it has been known for 20 years that once it enters your body, it accumulates in your brain, where it kills off neurons, leading to memory loss. And thanks to the significant amounts of aluminum found in food emulsifiers, antiperspirant deodorants, hair sprays, baking powder, many types of toothpaste, much of our drinking water, and most of our cookware, you are exposed to a lot of aluminum over the course of your life. There has been much speculation, therefore, that aluminum may be one of the prime factors in the onset of Alzheimer's disease. The connection between aluminum and Alzheimer's disease became even stronger when in 1995, Neurotoxicology reported that the widespread use of aluminum salts to purify water could account for the large numbers of people suffering from Alzheimer's.
And recently, the final piece of the puzzle may have fallen into place: the connection between aluminum and fluoride. New research has revealed that fluoride in drinking water makes the aluminum that we ingest more bio-available. As was reported in Brain Research, Vol.7 84:98, the combination of aluminum and fluoride causes the same pathological changes in brain tissue found in Alzheimer's patients.
Note: there is a significant difference between metallic aluminum and plant-derived aluminum, which is in the form of aluminum hydroxide. No studies have ever shown a connection between aluminum hydroxide and toxic levels of aluminum in the human body -- which is a good thing, because there is a lot of it in our food supply.
Like mercury, the danger from lead and aluminum is not the result of large doses, but the result of a steady accumulation over years -- as they do not easily clear from the body unless you take conscious steps to remove them.
Mercury, Deadly Beauty
People have known about the dangers of mercury since the days of the Roman Empire, when slaves who worked in the "quicksilver" mines died horribly after 2-3 years exposure. And in the 19th century, the workers who used mercury to make hats went bald and suffered from severe muscular tremors, dementia, and fits of wild, uncontrollable laughter. Thus the phrase: "Mad Hatter."
It's no secret that mercury is one of the most toxic metals known. Numerous studies have shown its impact on health. There is strong evidence that mercury lowers T-Cell counts. This, alone, implicates it in cancer, autoimmune diseases, allergies, Candida overgrowth, and multiple sclerosis. In fact, due to other studies that showed mercuric chloride increased several types of tumors in rats and mice, and methyl mercury caused kidney tumors in male mice, the EPA has determined that mercuric chloride and methyl mercury are possible human carcinogens. It has also been shown that mercury cuts the oxygen carrying capacity of blood by half. This would account for many instances of chronic fatigue.4
Mercury also has an affinity for brain tissue and is implicated in brain tumors and dementia. And, finally, mercury has an affinity for fetal tissue, which accounts for its implication in birth defects. In 2002, the National Academy of Sciences found strong evidence for the toxicity of methyl mercury to children's developing brains, even at low levels of exposure. A recent study from the Centers for Disease Controls found that as many as 637,233 American children are born each year with mercury levels of more than 5.8 µg/L (5.8 micrograms per liter), the level associated with brain damage and loss of IQ.
Today, we face two primary sources of exposure: our food supply and our dental fillings.
48 Tons of Toxins in Our Food and Water
There is nothing complex about the process. Mercury is a naturally occurring toxin, which is found in soil, rocks, wood, and fuels like coal and oil. Simple soil erosion deposits mercury in rivers and lakes, but concentrations remain low, unless, as has been discovered in the recently deforested regions of the Amazon, erosion reaches extraordinary levels. The burning of rainforests also releases mercury that has been taken up from the soil by the trees.
But the major source of mercury in our food chain, responsible for about 1/3 of the levels found in our bodies, is our burning of coal to generate electric power. That is the single greatest contributor to the problem. Mercury that naturally occurs in the coal is released during burning and enters the air; it is then precipitated into the oceans, lakes, and rivers by rain. According to the EPA, coal-fired power plants in the United States emit about 48 tons of mercury into the air every year -- and more than half of this mercury falls within 5 miles of the plant itself. When it reaches the water, microorganisms consume it and convert it into a substance called methyl mercury.
Mercury In the Food Chain
A study at the University of Tennessee recently rated methyl mercury among the most dangerous poisons on Earth (just behind plutonium). It has no known beneficial use in the body, and it accumulates in the muscle tissue of fish, animals, and humans. When minnows eat plankton or algae that is contaminated with methyl mercury, it is deposited in their flesh; larger fish prey upon the minnows, and the toxin travels straight up the food chain to the most prized game fish -- the big predators like bass, pike, walleyes, brown trout; and to all the finest food and sport fish of the seas -- tuna, swordfish, shark, roughy, marlin, and halibut. According to the EPA, fish at the top of the aquatic food chain bio-accumulate methyl mercury to a level approximately 1 million to 10 million times greater than dissolved concentrations found in surrounding waters.
Of course, when you climb one more rung up that food chain, you find us, the people who eat fish. Just like the predatory fish that we catch and eat, we store mercury in our tissues. Just like the ancient Romans, we know that high exposure to mercury is fatal. But…
Mercury Rising
In 1997, the EPA under the Clinton administration presented a detailed study that revealed the hazards of mercury contamination, pinpointed coal-fired power plants as the leading source of emissions, and promised action. But nothing was done. The EPA had begun work on a plan to address mercury pollution in December 2000 and in a 2001 presentation, the agency said that 90 percent of mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants could be cut, using what is known as the Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT), by 2008.
More recently, the Bush administration decided that the coal-fired power industry would be exempt. Therefore, levels will continue to climb -- not fall.
Mercury Fillings
The American Dental Association has resolutely maintained for years "when mercury is combined with the metals used in dental amalgam, its toxic properties are made harmless." If this were true, it would be miraculously fortuitous.
Dentists have used amalgam, which consists of mercury, silver, tin, copper, and zinc, for several hundred years. Here in the United States, it made its appearance in the early 1800s.
From the beginning, there were a number of dentists who were concerned by the presence of mercury, since by that time it was fairly well known that mercury was poisonous. In fact, these concerns were so strong, that by the mid-1940s, several dental societies, including the American Society of Dental Surgeons, had joined together to stop the use of amalgam fillings. But the problem all along has been that amalgam is just too easy to work with, and whatever ill effects people experience are too far down the road to matter; so dentists, as a group, have fought for its continued use. And, in fact, the American Dental Association was founded in 1859 -- primarily to promote the use of mercury amalgam as a safe and desirable tooth filling material. There were no tests done. No studies. Nothing! Amalgam was promoted because it was easy to work with. The reason mercury was used in it was because mercury serves to "dissolve" the other metals and make a homogenous whole.
The early position of the ADA was that mercury reacts with the other metals to form "a biologically inactive substance" so that none of it ever makes its way into your body.
Unfortunately, numerous studies conducted in the 1970s and 80s proved conclusively that the mercury from fillings (primarily from mercury vapor created when you chew) makes its way into your body, ending up in your lungs, heart, stomach, kidneys, endocrine glands, gastrointestinal tract, jaw tissue, and brain.
Once it became irrefutable that mercury from the fillings was ending up in your body, it then became mandatory that the ADA find a new defense. Again, not based on study, it became the position of the ADA that: Well yes, maybe some mercury does make its way into your body, but at levels that are so low it has no effect on your health. Unfortunately, that's just not true either. Like so many other toxic substances, the real problem with mercury is that it is a cumulative poison. The body holds onto a significant percentage of the mercury that enters it.
Note: There is no safe way to remove amalgam fillings. Recent studies showed that even with strong air and water suctioning, water rinses, and a rubber dental dam, significant amounts of mercury were later found in the individual's lungs, kidneys, endocrine organs, liver and heart, whereas no mercury was detected in those tissues prior to removal of the fillings.
Since the government is not going to help limit your exposure to mercury in your food supply, and since your dentist and the ADA are not going to limit your exposure in your amalgam fillings, there is only one place you can turn for help -- yourself. You need to regularly cleanse accumulated mercury from your body.
The Bottom Line on Heavy Metals
When it comes to heavy metals, there are three clear steps available to you.
- Avoid exposure. Say no to new amalgam fillings and, if possible, have a dentist who understands the process replace your existing fillings. (However, you will need to detox after removal.) Avoid aluminum cookware and aluminum based deodorants. Stop eating high-mercury fish such as swordfish, shark, roughly, and albacore tuna. And filter fluoride and lead out of your drinking water.
- Regularly sweep heavy metals from your colon and draw them from the tissue lining the walls of your intestinal tract using a powerful herbal colon detoxifier. (Note: colonic irrigation will not remove heavy metals from your intestinal walls.)
- Routinely cleanse heavy metals from your body -- since they will not leave on their own. And now, thanks to this chelation formula, you have an easy, no fuss, inexpensive way to do just that.
Addendum - 6 April 2013
For some years now, the heavy metal formula described above has been extremely popular. And why not? It's clinically tested and people love the results. Anecdotally, we've seen a steady stream of testimonials. Nevertheless, through the years, there have been two recurring problems experienced by a small percentage of people.
- Some people complained of getting slightly "spacey" while using the formula.
- And some people who relied on urine provocation testing to determine how well the formula worked for them would freak out when they saw higher numbers after using the formula—even though that would be expected and was a sign that metals were actually pulled out of the soft tissue and clearing the body.
As it turns out, these problems are related. What's happening is that the cilantro is unbinding and freeing up the heavy metals—particularly mercury—faster than the chlorella can escort it from the body. Eventually, the chlorella catches up, but until then, the temporarily higher levels of metals in the blood can make you feel a bit woozy. Also, this lag time will cause the numbers seen in provocation testing to remain higher for longer periods of time.
So, the question arose, was there any way to enhance the formula that could help at least mitigate these problems, understanding that they can never be totally eliminated since they are inherent in the detox process?
Humic and Fulvic Acid
Humic acid, fulvic acid, and humin are types of humic substances or humates that are the major components of organic matter found throughout nature as a result of the action of millions of beneficial microbes on decomposing plants—a process known as humification. Humic acid and fulvic acid are considered to be the chemically bioactive compounds. They are black or dark brown in color and are of high molecular weight. Humins are the brownish amorphous substance that is produced from acidic reactions on certain sugars, carbohydrates, or the remaining residue of humate extraction and are considered less biologically active.
Because humic and fulvic acid are actually large, heterogeneous collections of polyaromatic macromolecules, and because they are so complex and their sourcing components (the decaying plant and animal matter) so variable, their molecular structures are not precisely known—but are, rather, generalized.5 The hypothetical structure for humic acid, for example, contains free and bound phenolic OH groups, quinone structures, nitrogen and oxygen as bridge units, and COOH groups variously placed on aromatic rings.
The hypothetical model structure of fulvic acid contains both aromatic and aliphatic structures, both extensively substituted with oxygen-containing functional groups.
In addition, beyond their core structures, both humic and fulvic acid incorporate other molecules into their structure such as protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, vanillin, resorcinol, ferulic acid, benzoic acid, and other similarly structured polyphenols resulting from the breakdown of the structural lignans in plant cell walls. It's also important to note that the exact composition of humic and fulvic acid will vary according to its source. Different sources produce humic/fulvic acid of varying efficacy.
As you may have guessed from the description so far, any time you buy a humic or fulvic acid formula for human use, you're actually getting a mix of all three components. Theoretically, if something is called fulvic acid VS humic acid, it is merely indicative of the ratios involved in that blend. In other words, something called fulvic acid would have a higher proportion of fulvic acid than something labeled humic acid. Humic acid is naturally dominant, but the fulvic acid component can be concentrated during extraction. This is important since fulvic acid has more chelating potential than humic acid.
It is actually possible to obtain "organic" humic and fulvic acids. To call something "organic" in the U.S. requires approval by the National Organic Standard Board NOSB. In fact, it is possible to track down suppliers of high quality fulvic acid that not only matches the requirements of the USDA, but also of the European Union, and the Japanese Organic Standard Board. In addition, although there are humic and fulvic acids everywhere on the surface of the earth, only large deposits created via biotic and abiotic factors over 60 million years ago are of commercial value. In the U.S., such deposits are buried several feet below ground in pristine ancient lake beds that are known to be untouched by man until recently. These deposits are known to contain absolutely no heavy metals and were not exposed to GMOs. Thus, they're qualified to be classified as organic or natural and suitable for organic food production. Such deposits are also a rare find in the fulvic and humic acid industry.
Fulvic Acid and Chelation
There are many health benefits associated with the use of supplemental humic and fulvic acids, including:
- Control of inflammation
- Stimulating metabolism
- Working as powerful free radical scavengers
- Regulating the thyroid and thymus glands
- Oxygenating the blood
- Maintaining optimum alkalinity
But the one we are concerned with today is their ability--and especially that of fulvic acid—to chelate toxic and/or inorganic metals and escort them safely out of the body.
The word "chelate" itself is derived from the Greek word chela, which refers to the pincer-like claw of a crustacean or arachnid, such as a lobster, crab, or scorpion. The term chelate, then, suggests the way in which an organic compound grabs onto the cation elements (in this case, toxic heavy metals) and carries them to the liver for processing and out of the body through the urine or feces.
In order for a compound to be called a true chelating agent, it must have certain chemical characteristics. It must have at least two sites capable of donating electrons to the metal it chelates. For true chelation to occur, the donating atom(s) must also be in a position within the chelating molecule so that a formation of a ring with the metal ion can occur. Humic and fulvic acid both qualify as true chelating agents.6
Humic/fulvic acid has been extensively tested for its ability to chelate toxic heavy metals from the body. For example, in one study, oral consumption of humic/fulvic acid administered daily for six weeks significantly decreased blood cadmium levels and increased urine cadmium in 31 adult workers continuously exposed to occupational cadmium.7 In the majority of subjects, initial abnormally low serum iron levels increased, and markers of kidney and liver function improved. In other studies humic/fulvic acid has been shown to decrease the absorption of heavy metals in the intestinal tract and reduce their toxic effects.8
Other studies have indicated that humic/fulvic acid may also be beneficial in helping your body to rid itself of lead, strontium, and mercury.
Adding Fulvic Acid to the Existing Formula
The problem in enhancing any formula is that you can't just simply add something to the formula. There's only so much room you can work with. In a 2 oz bottle, there's only 2 ounces. If you add something, by definition, you have to take something out to make room for it, and if that something is a powerful bioactive, you have to be concerned that you're not losing more than you're gaining. On the other hand, in rare cases, you can find an ingredient that can be added that doesn't require you to remove an "active" ingredient. As it turns out, we could make room for adding a sizeable amount of pristine, organic, liquid humic/fulvic acid by dropping out some of the alcohol and water base in the tincture since they play no active role in the heavy metal chelation formula. Thus, we get to add a large amount of a powerful chelating agent to the formula without reducing the amount of bioactive cilantro or chlorella even one microgram. In formulation, this has to be considered the ultimate win/win scenario.
Humic/Fulvic Conclusion
When we tested the revised version of the heavy metal chelation formula with the added fulvic acid solution, the first thing that we noticed was that several people who had previously complained about feeling "off" or "spacey" when using the formula no longer had that complaint. They felt no dizziness or wooziness—indicating that the fulvic acid was working as expected. And under limited urine provocation testing, the numbers for heavy metals in the blood began to drop much more quickly in the days after using the formula than with previous versions. By all indications, the efficacy of the formula has been significantly enhanced.
In terms of color, smell, and taste, the new version is certainly interesting. There's no denying that it's now dark brown, bordering on black. Get any on your fingers and it temporarily stains them. You have to wash it off with soap and water; it won't just rinse off. As for smell, the aromatics in it, such as the vanillin, now give the formula a slightly sweet, earthy smell—almost like a rich loam soil laced with vanilla and spices. It's not strong, and it's not offensive. Consider it nostalgic—taking you back to your days on the farm…or at least in your patch of your local victory garden. As for taste, it's actually quite mild, surprisingly--when mixed with even a small amount of juice--almost non-existent.
In other words, because of the color, it's recommend that you mix it with 1-2 oz of a dark juice such as grape or pomegranate as opposed to something light and colorful like orange juice. The taste when combined with orange juice is actually quite okay, but somehow drinking black orange juice is disconcerting.
It's also recommended that you drink a glass of water after consuming a 4 mL serving of the formula.

Email Deliverability Spooks and Scares: Part 3Jillian Wohlfarth
A very Happy Halloween to our fellow costumed revelers! It's only fitting that we round out our Email Deliverability Spooks and Scares Series today. Following in the dreaded footsteps of Sloth and Wrath and Gluttony, Greed, and Lust, we have our final email sins of Pride (blacklists!) and Envy (lack of resources).
Let's take a look at how these two sins can affect your email deliverability rates.
PRIDE: Blacklists
Don't be too proud to admit a mistake if you find yourself on a blacklist. (What's a blacklist, you ask? This blog posts explains it all.)The email compliance community is small and dedicated, and is more likely to help you get out of a bad situation if you identify your mistake, take responsibility, and outline steps to reform your sending practices.
- Spam traps, high complaint rates, mass deletes, and more can land you on a dreaded blacklist. Find a tool that offers blacklist alerts and gives you real-time insight into your delivery failures so you can act quickly to resolve any issues.
- Know the key players in the anti-abuse community and stay up to date on industry trends and changes in communication practices.
ENVY: Lack of Resources
Maintaining a strong and reputable email program can be a lot of work. Don't be envious of the resources of your competitors, look at the long-term goals for your email program and prepare accordingly.
- Do you maintain your own in-house email infrastructure? If so, do you have the tools in place to scale your program and to keep tabs on reporting, outages, and deliverability?
- If not, look to a trusted third party like SendGrid. We can take care of all of that for you, so you can concentrate on your growing your business.
For a full overview of all of these spooky email obstacles, download our free guide Highway to Hell.
And, to all who are celebrating, have a very happy and safe Halloween from all of us at SendGrid!

theArtsweb.com Northwest Florida Events Calendar
Wednesday, June 8, 2011
Event Title:
Impression of a Moment: Paintings by John Metcalfe
Where: Artport Gallery
Wednesday, June 8, 2011
Import this event into your Outlook calendar
The Council on Culture & Arts is pleased to present
Impression of a Moment: Paintings by John Metcalfe
an exhibition at the Artport Gallery from May 25 - July 25, 2011 as part of the Arts in Public Places program.
From an early age, John Metcalfe was drawn to all things artistic. He studied architectural and mechanical drafting, which allowed him to develop an eye for perspective and form. As an adult, Metcalfe became an avid art collector and opened a Havana based gallery to house his ever expanding collection. In 2001, his love for collecting artwork turned into a love for creating it. Metcalfe started painting landscapes in a dramatic and impressionistic style. These unforgettable paintings are described by the artist as "confetti."
"I create my paintings completely from memory and imagination. Trees don't have to be green; water doesn't have to be blue. I've heard my work described as "if Monet were to meet Jackson Pollock."

Epic 12 hour party last night. Who needs sleep when you are wearing a party dress?
Almost all of our party photos were on Tiffaney's camera which disappeared somewhere after the sun came up this morning. Here's hoping it resurfaces somewhere within the massive vacation rental home we partied in.
I spent the majority of the night enjoying a fellow party goer's fedora. :)
I needs me one of those!
After watching the sun rise over Finlayson Arm we dragged our tired arses back into the city where I promptly put myself to bed around 11am.
The sun was setting when I decided to get up. Absolutely epic first sunset of 2011.
Cheers to a fabulous new decade!

Are there still miracles happening today? Saints are still being named.
I know a few good refutations, but am looking for a few more:
Cancer was cured for her! what about everyone else who wasn't? Coincidence.
You can claim anything was a miracle if you can't study it. These are not repeatable and not falsifiable.
anything else?

Now this was a rare 'Event'. A theist going away happy, and not condemning folks to hell.
Makes me wonder who Mike/Andrew really was?
Miracles = an event with no explanation + chinese whispers
Last season Fabrice Muamba, a footballer for Bolton Wanderers to all intents and purposes died on the pitch during a football match. He was clinically dead for 90 minutes or something.
One of the Bolton fans was highly trained in first aid, including the latest techniques to help a victim of such an attack, he came on, took over the proceedings and basically kept Muamba alive.
When Muamba was able to give interview all he could do was thank God for sending one of his angels.
No! Thank a good man, thank a good education, thank experience, and thank the luck that he happened to be a Bolton fan. Giving it to God was ignorant.

Android continued to gain market share during the third quarter, accounting for 75 percent of all smartphone shipments. That compared to 15 percent for Apple's iOS and 4.3 percent for BlackBerry, according to a report out from IDC. Windows Phone, while showing gains from the third quarter of 2011, still remains far behind at just two percent of worldwide smartphone shipments.
IDC noted that Microsoft has failed to "make a dent" in Android or iOS despite support from major handset makers. Could that trend change with the introduction of new Windows 8 phones?
Maybe. But the momentum is clearly behind Google and Apple, and as VentureBeat's John Koetsier notes market share does matter. That's because developers prefer to build products for platforms that have users.
"Some will say market share is irrelevant," writes Koetsier. "To them I say, go get a job at RIM. Or Nokia."
Android's rise over the past four years is nothing short of amazing, with IDC's Ramon Llamas noting that it "has effectively outpaced the market and taken market share from the competition" every year since it was introduced.
"The share decline of smartphone operating systems not named iOS since Android's introduction isn't a coincidence," added Kevin Restivo, a senior research analyst with IDC. "The smartphone operating system isn't an isolated product, it's a crucial part of a larger technology ecosystem. Google has a thriving, multi-faceted product portfolio. Many of its competitors, with weaker tie-ins to the mobile OS, do not. This factor and others have led to loss of share for competitors with few exceptions."
Separately, comScore today released its numbers for the U.S. Smartphone market. Here's a look at its numbers.

Repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms with aorto-uni-iliac stentgraft and femoro-femoral bypass

OBJECTIVES: Endovascular repair (EVAR) is accepted as effective treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) and has become the standard of care in many instances. The standard bifurcated stentgraft (BFG) is often not possible in patients with unfavourable aneurysm morphology. The aorto-uni-iliac (AUI) graft configuration with femoro-femoral bypass (FFBP) is a promising alternative which may extend the scope of EVAR for AAAs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and durability of AUI with FFBP.
DESIGN: The results of a single institution and a single surgeon were prospectively collected from January 2002 to August 2010. All patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months and then annually.
RESULTS: There were 33 patients (27 males) with a mean age of 71.7 years (range 46 - 84). Open surgery posed an unacceptably high risk to all patients owing to advanced age and/or American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification 3/4. Ineligibility for BFG was due to unfavourable anatomy or a combination of factors in most cases (31 patients). Two patients had anastomotic aneurysms after previous open surgery.
The technical success rate was 100%. One severe intra-operative complication occurred (perforated iliac artery). Two patients (ASA 4) died within 30 days (peri-operative mortality rate 6.1%). Seven patients (21.1%) developed postoperative wound complications. Eight patients died during follow-up of non-aneurysm-related conditions. Twenty-three patients are alive, with mean follow-up of 24.4 months and a survival rate of 69.7%. Two complications occurred during long-term follow-up, namely 1 case of graft sepsis and 1 of FFBP occlusion.
CONCLUSION: AUI with FFBP is a safe, effective and durable alternative in high-risk patients with AAAs where standard open repair is contraindicated and BFG repair is not possible owing to unfavourable aneurysm morphology.

This edition of "Makeup Wars" has us talking about out favorite mascaras. Now, anyone that knows me, or reads this site, will not be surprised in the least that I picked the Mally Beauty Volumizing Mascara. I really like this mascara for the main reason that it is a drier formula than a lot of other mascaras. It's dry almost as soon as it is applied, which makes it really easy to build up layers. The big, full brush gets more mascara on my lashes per swipe. It doesn't really separate lashes, it really goes more for the "drag queen" type of lashes. Even Mally would tell you that herself. 😉
The pic is of one of the smaller tubes, with a shorter brush handle than what comes in the full-size tube. I just happen to be using this one right now, so it's the one I took a picture of. You can pick these up on MallyBeauty.com and on QVC in a single tube, but if you pick up most any of Mally's kits, there is usually one included.
What kind of formula do you like? A wetter formula or a drier formula? Let me know and be sure to check out the favorite's of the other gals:
*Disclaimer: I really don't know where this tube came from. It may have come from things I received as a Mally Beauty Ambassador, or from one of the kits I've picked up for myself from QVC. It's def repurchaseable.Copyright secured by Digiprove

I planted a bunch of hedges along the front of the garden.
I started with small ones in 2010 but they took ages to do anything so I got in some bigger ones at Xmas.
Seem to be really starting to developing into a hedge line. Maybe next year I can start trimming it?
They are holding their own. I think once they establish themselves they might accelerate their growth. Initially they were a bit exposed nd sensitive to heat but as they get bigger they shade their location, plus, the garden is busier and there are more plants offering shade and breaks from constant direct sun. I can in theory already prune some of them but I dont want to yet as I dont want to cause undue shock.
These are often overlooked but are one of the most exciting parts of the garden. I started with lots of small ones because they were cheaper but they didnt really grow and so I got bigger ones and they were a bit slow, but they all look a bit more lively at the moment. I have just taken a picture of everyone of them in a row one after the other. In some shots its hard to spot the privet as its so small. I feel confident now that the hedge is established and im now looking forward to being able to work it as a whole hedge and not a bunch of individually struggling privet plants.
Hopefully they are still alive, this is one of the hottest areas of the garden.

Greece and its lenders are close to agreeing that Greece will achieve a primary budget surplus this year, a senior Finance Ministry official told reporters on Sunday after senior Greek and EU and IMF officials met.
Reuters reported that hitting a primary budget surplus, before interest payments, is key for Greece because it would trigger a clause in its EU/IMF bailout allowing it to seek further debt relief from its lenders.
"I think we are close to converging on a common, realistic estimate that there will be a small, viable primary budget surplus this year," the official said on condition of anonymity, after the first meeting in the latest review of Greece's bailout by its lenders.
"There are four or five budget items on which we still have to fully agree," the official added.
The latest review by officials from the "troika" of European Union, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank is expected to last at least until the end of next month.
Athens and its lenders are also very close to agreeing on a joint economic growth forecast for 2013 and 2014, the official said, without revealing the estimates.
Athens said on Thursday that it expected its economy to shrink by 3.8 per cent this year, less than a previous estimate of 4.2 per cent.
Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras said the economy may have bottomed out after a severe, six-year recession, citing government estimates that GDP had expanded on a quarter-on-quarter basis in the second quarter.

A Series Without Shame: Episodes and Interviews From HIV-Focused Telenovela Sin Vergüenza
January 25, 2013
Family secrets ... betrayed trust ... condom usage?
The classic, persistent themes of Spanish-language soap operas, also known as telenovelas, get a refreshing, enthralling update in Sin Vergüenza (Without Shame), the new telenovela that is taking the Internet by storm. Presented in English as well as Spanish, and imagined and realized by California's vast AltaMed health care network, the aim of the show is to "educate without being educational." The project is a unique endeavor -- it combines a fresh narrative format with the ability to tackle real-world issues such as HIV, stigma, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender (LGBT) issues, family issues, infidelity, shame, aging, dating and more.

Paul Gionfriddo was named President and CEO of Mental Health America on May 1, 2014. He has worked in a variety of health and mental-health related positions during a career spanning over thirty years. In 2013, he was appointed by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to a four-year term on the 12-member National Advisory Council to the SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services.
Prior to joining MHA, he was a consultant, speaker, and writer, and author of a popular weekly health policy blog entitled Our Health Policy Matters. His essay entitled How I Helped Create a Flawed Mental Health System That's Failed Millions – And My Son, was published as the Narrative Matters essay (and was the most-read article) in the September 2012 issue of Health Affairs and was also published in the Washington Post in October 2012. The full-length version of the story was published as a book, entitled Losing Tim: How Our Health and Education Systems Failed My Son with Schizophrenia, and was released by Columbia University Press in the fall of 2014.
Paul has also led nonprofit organizations in three states. He served as President of the Quantum Foundation, a private health foundation in Palm Beach County FL from 2007 to 2010 and as Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Community Health Alliance from 2005 to 2007.

He consulted for a number of Federal, State, and local agencies, private foundations, and nonprofits, including the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, the National Center for Health Statistics, the National Governors Association, and the National Conference of State Legislatures.
From 1978 through 1991, he served as a full-time elected official, the first eleven of those years in the Connecticut State Legislature, where he held several leadership positions, including Deputy Majority Leader and chair of the Public Health Committee and Health and Human Services Subcommittees of the Appropriations Committee. For the final two years, he served as Mayor of Middletown, Connecticut.
In addition to his governmental, private, and nonprofit work, Mr. Gionfriddo has been a member of the Adjunct Faculty of both Wesleyan University and Trinity College, where he developed and taught graduate-level courses in public policy. He was also a member of the faculty of the Applied Statistics Training Institute of the National Center for Health Statistics.
Mr. Gionfriddo has served on many local, state, and national nonprofit Boards, for organizations serving people with mental illness, substance use disorders, and/or developmental disabilities, and for others engaged in child advocacy and clean energy advocacy.
