Self-organised European Citizens' Initiative against TTIP. Has the EU heard its citizens' voices?
The citizens' initiative is set out in Article 11(4) of the Treaty on the European Union.1 The European citizens' initiative allows one million EU citizens to participate directly in the development of EU policies, by calling on the European Commission to make a legislative proposal. Since the entry into force of the regulation on the European Citizens' Initiative on 1 April 2012, civil society organisations have criticised the many bureaucratic procedures ECI organisers are facing. Despite serious efforts of the European Parliament in 2015 to improve the ECI, many obstacles remain for the time being. Due to the very restrictive registration procedure used by the European Commission, nearly 40% of initiatives (20 of 53) were rejected. The usual reason for these rejections are related to the fact that the Commission has no competency to act. 33 European Citizens' Initiatives were registered (16 registrations in 2012, 9 in 2013, 5 in 2014 and only 3 in 2015). 18 registered initiatives have reached the end of their collection period2. Among the 33 officially registered European Citizens' Initiatives, only 'Right to Water', 'One of us' and 'Stop Vivisection' have collected over one million signatures.

COP21 in Paris: we must step out of our industrialised comfort zone
Early December, Paris will find itself with being the capital of heated politics.
Representatives from all over the world will come together in Le Bourget in the outskirts of the city, in order to achieve consensus and a legally binding agreement on battling climate change. The forum`s response to the ongoing global warming and its ability to effectively deal with the challenges ahead will not only have a tremendous effect on societies around the world, but also on future generations. Recent interest in establishing common goals may be somewhat overdue, though hopefully not too late. It has never been more important that we clean up our mess before a polluted mother earth retires.

What the EU is actually doing about Syria, the refugees & ISIS
by Doris Manu
With the refugee crisis being the major preoccupation and challenge in Europe this year, it is no wonder that a great part of the 2015 Berlin Foreign Policy Forum (BFPF) was dedicated to discussions about the future of the Middle East, Syria in particular, and about the refugees themselves.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German Foreign Minister, addressed these issues in his speech at BFPF. Talking about the diplomatic negotiations exploring a peaceful solution to the Syrian war, FM Steinmeier said that ''We need to be as ambitious as we can for Vienna talks on Syria to succeed'', signalling that Germany and its EU partners went beyond looking for short-term solutions to the refugee crisis and are now focused on addressing its roots. This is without a doubt a very good approach, especially now that refugees are faced with the European winter. The German commitment in this endeavour is extremely positive and leaves me hopeful that a solution will be found to end the war and stop the refugee flow.

'Stuck' in Dayton for twenty years?
When the Dayton Agreements were signed in October-November 1995, I was nine years old. I don't remember that much from those times, but what I do remember is the feeling of relief, which in my family's case was expressed by the "return" to the first floor of our house, up from the basement where we had spent the previous three years. The war was over! Now, there were no restrictions on where and when to play with the children from the neighbourhood and we could have regular classes in 'normal' schools and not in some neighbour's basement.

Why I didn't change my Facebook photo after the recent terrorist attacks in Paris
Personally, I will use every world's event to express my opinion about it, whether it was positive or negative event. Although longing to have only positive thoughts expressed in the article, photos, FB status, sadly negative events are much more present and current.
It hasn't even been a full year since I wrote my reaction to the Charlie Hebdo shooting in Paris, and now, after the city has been wounded once again by terrorists, I feel a need to react as well. And it's like déjà-vu; the killing, the bombings, the fear and prejudices… I have seen too much of it, starting with the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

- About this book
In this book we describe the basic principles, problems, and methods of cl- sical mechanics. Our main attention is devoted to the mathematical side of the subject. Although the physical background of the models considered here and the applied aspects of the phenomena studied in this book are explored to a considerably lesser extent, we have tried to set forth ?rst and foremost the "working" apparatus of classical mechanics. This apparatus is contained mainly in Chapters 1, 3, 5, 6, and 8. Chapter 1 is devoted to the basic mathematical models of classical - chanics that are usually used for describing the motion of real mechanical systems. Special attention is given to the study of motion with constraints and to the problems of realization of constraints in dynamics. In Chapter 3 we discuss symmetry groups of mechanical systems and the corresponding conservation laws. We also expound various aspects of ord- reduction theory for systems with symmetries, which is often used in appli- tions. Chapter 4 is devoted to variational principles and methods of classical mechanics. They allow one, in particular, to obtain non-trivial results on the existence of periodic trajectories. Special attention is given to the case where the region of possible motion has a non-empty boundary. Applications of the variational methods to the theory of stability of motion are indicated.

- Reviews
From the reviews of the previous editions: "... As an encyclopaedia article, this book does not seek to serve as a textbook, nor to replace the original articles whose results it describes. The book's goal is to provide an overview, pointing out highlights and unsolved problems, and putting individual results into a coherent context. It is full of historical nuggets, many of them surprising. ... The examples are especially helpful; if a particular topic seems difficult, a later example frequently tames it. The writing is refreshingly direct, never degenerating into a vocabulary lesson for its own sake. The book accomplishes the goals it has set for itself. While it is not an introduction to the field, it is an excellent overview. ..." American Mathematical Monthly, Nov. 1989 "This is a book to curl up with in front of a fire on a cold winter's evening. ..." SIAM Reviews, Sept. 1989
From the reviews of the third edition:
"Mathematical Aspects of Classical and Celestial Mechanics is the third volume of Dynamical Systems section of Springer's Encyclopaedia of Mathematical sciences. … if you wanted an idea of the broad scope of classical mechanics, this is a good place to visit. One advantage of the present book is that the authors are particularly skilled in balancing rigor with physical intuition. … The authors provide an extensive bibliography and a well-selected set of recommended readings. Overall, this is a thoroughly professional offering." (William J. Satzer, MathDL, January, 2007)
"The new edition is a considerable updating of the last. … it is a reference for experts that will pull them back from their narrow subarea of expertise, give them a vast overview of what other experts know, and send them to the references if they actually want to be able to use something. … In conclusion, this is a book that every mathematical library must own and that many experts will want to have on their shelves." (James Murdock, SIAM Review, Vol. 49 (4), 2007)
"This book is the third English edition of an already classical piece devoted to classical mechanics as a whole, in its traditional and contemporary aspects … . The book is significantly expanded with respect to its previous editions … enriching further its already important contribution of acquainting mathematicians, physicists and engineers with the subject. … New chapters on variational principles and tensor invariants were added, making the book more self-contained. … Its purpose is to serve as a detailed guide on the subject … ." (Ernesto A. Lacomba, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 a)

Introduction: Treatment options for recurrent C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) are not explored in large trials. Only Eculizumab has been successfully used to improve the renal function in patients with recurrent C3G. In the current report, we are sharing our experience with plasma exchange (PLEX) in the management of early recurrent C3G post-renal transplantation. Materials and Methods: A total of four patients underwent PLEX. Time to recur was less than two weeks in all the patients. Serology levels, autoantibody testing and limited genetic workup was done in all the four patients. The clinical details of patients were recorded. Results: All the patients underwent 5 PLEX (40 ml/kg/session) with fresh frozen plasma as the replacement. The median time for post-transplant recurrence was 3-days. Immediate reduction in serum creatinine was seen in three (75%) patients. After a median last follow-up of 8.5 (range: 4-18) months, two (50%) patients achieved remission and the other two (50%) had resistant disease resulting in graft loss. Three patients tested positive for autoantibodies (two cases had positive C3-nephritic factor and one had anti-complement factor-H autoantibodies. Complement factor H gene analysis revealed rs1061170; p.His402Tyr (missense variant), rs1061147; p.Ala307= (synonymous variant) and rs2274700; p.Ala473= (synonymous variant) in three cases. All the three patients who had immediate response to PLEX had positive autoantibodies against complement pathway regulators. Conclusion: In the present report, we performed extensive workup for complement pathway abnormality and found that patients with recurrent C3G following transplantation having autoantibodies benefited with PLEX.

When a gunman ambushed a practice for a charity congressional baseball game in Alexandria, Va., on Wednesday, at least five people were injured. And, witnesses have suggested, that number might have been higher had members of the U.S. Capitol Police not been there — as part of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise's security detail — to fire back.
"Without the Capitol Hill police, it would have been a massacre," Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul told the press.
As some speculate about whether partisan politics motivated the gunman — who reportedly asked one of the congressmen if Democrats or Republicans were playing — it can be noted that the U.S. Capitol Police force, which is charged with protecting Congress, was established after one particular assault that took place in the polarized political climate that was 1828.
At the time, "Jacksonian" politicians (supporters of Andrew Jackson, who had nearly become president in 1824) had secured a majority in Congress after the midterm elections. Sitting President John Quincy Adams could have expected he was going to have to fight Jackson for the White House in the upcoming 1828 presidential election — but he probably didn't expect his son to get into an actual physical fight with a Jacksonian before Election Day.
Russell Jarvis, a journalist for a pro-Jackson newspaper The Washington Telegraph, attended a New Year's Eve celebration at the White House with his wife and Boston relatives, when John Adams Jr., the president's son and personal secretary, made what Jarvis later described as a "grievous insult to the ladies of my family." Here's how a book that chronicled the political and social scene in mid-19th century Washington, D.C., Perley's Reminiscences of 60 Years in the National Metropolis, described the contretemps:
Jarvis is said to have been waiting for the right moment to seek revenge when he saw Adams in the Capitol Rotunda in April 1828. He said he asked the junior Adams if he would apologize, and when he didn't, "I was excited by his continued refusal, and by a recollection of the offense, to commit an assault upon his person, which consisted merely in pulling his nose and slapping one side of his face, with my open hand," Jarvis recalled, according to a personal account of the incident published in the newspaper Niles' Register.
Jarvis's actions have been described as "all standard and approved provocations for a duel," according to the biography of presidential families America's Royalty: All the Presidents' Children, "however, John Quincy Adams's disapproval for dueling was made evident when he responded for his son by sending a message to Congress…requesting that Congress provide funds to secure the way between the president's office and Congress so that future incidents could be prevented."
Congress passed the act creating the U.S. Capitol Police on May 2, 1828.

My son Neil has been saying for quite some time now that Daryl Janmaat shouldn't be sold because he would make an excellent right winger (midfielder) with his attacking abilities.
His defensive qualities are not as good as his attacking qualities when he plays at right back, although he would obviously be good at tracking back if he did play on the right wing.
Daryl Janmaat – would make a good right winger
Rafa also seems to have a number of right backs at Newcastle now including new boy Jesus Gamez, who will probably be the starting right-back although Vurnon Anita, Chancel Mbemba and young Jamie Sterry can also play there – which is one reason Daryl seemed expendable.
So it was interesting that Daryl played right wing today against Lokeren and scored the second goal with a terrific header into the far corner of the net from a free kick.
So Daryl could also get some goals for us as he proved against Tottenham in the last game of the season.
It was looking like he would leave before September if a club came in with a £10M bid for him, but maybe not, since Daryl could give us some attacking thrust down that wing.
It would be good if we can keep everybody we want to keep at the club right now – and that could include Daryl who has seems happy enough in preseason, although we have no idea what his thinking is about staying at Newcastle.
But it was certainly interesting that Rafa played him on the right wing at Lokeren on Saturday and it wouldn't be the first time Rafa has changed positions for a player.
He had Vurnon Anita playing right back at the end of last season as though he had played there all his life.
We should definitely try to offload Moussa Sissoko as soon as we can get £35M for him from some club (any club) – and also allow fringe players we don't need to move on before September.
Most importantly we need to bring in some new good players, all within a few weeks.
Then we will be all set and can go all out to get promotion next season, so we will be a Premier League club again come next May.
Howay The Lads!!

The rumours were he was trying to get to Juventus. ….They have loads of money now but still haven't come in ….Well nothing reported.
Watford were supposed to have shown an interest….
I am not sure about Janmaat. That Southampton game still annoys me.
But it's a new season I suppose, maybe it's a reality check for him that no major super club have come in for him.
If he stays and puts effort in….All will be happy
We don't definitely have to do any such thing. The squad as it is is capable. Moving on Sissoko for 35 mill, and allowing fringe players to leave and bringing a few more good players in, might be in our best interests, as might convincing Sissoko to stay, long shot that may be, and going with what we've got, and leaving the remaining reshaping till the end of the season when many of these fringe players come off contract. We will definitely need to replace any who actually do go. That much I agree with.
I like janmaat personally. I think alot of his inept performances was down to anger and frustration with some of the prima Donna's around him. I'm not totally excusing him, he's supposed to be a pro at the end of the day but when you have gini hiding, moussa waltzing around and colo not giving a stuff it must really get these foreign players in the why bother attitude.
We are nearly rid of the bad core in the team and replaced them with young hungry players. Yes some may say they won't cut it in the pl should we get there however, heart fight and passion can lift some average players. I'm really looking forward for the season to start and can't wait.
I think janmaat may stay unless a big euro team come in and even thauvin. If marseille have shot their load getting gomis they may not be able to afford him. This seasons a clean slate for me and I hope all the lads show what they can do and who knows if we get promoted we can finally become a top 8 side. Roll on the new season!
Munster, you speak with such certainty, yet surely you know no more about the realities of the situation than I do. I just keep an open mind about a player we know has real talent.
Of course I also recognise he's likely to go, and that it's possible that it would be the best outcome for the club and the player, but also that it's rarely good to lose your better players, particularly at the beginning of such a critical season. No pontificating, here or anywhere else. Just a counterpoint to a number of posts that strike me as too cut and dried.
I have to agree with anthc re: Janmaat's attittude suffering due to the malaise that took hold of the club first under Carver and then McClaren. It affected many of our senior players. But go back and read the summary from the home match against Watford last September. Although the rest of the team looked listless and inept, Darryl put in a full shift and was easily our MOTM, scoring our only goal that afternoon. He was trying to fire up the rest of the squad and was showing a huge amount of desire, all to fall on deaf ears – unfortunately.
It is true his defensive efforts declined in the games after that as did his spirt and desire. Same goes with the other players! So much for the motivational skills of Steve McClaren and Steve Black!!! Janmaat WAS our player of the season in 2014/2015. And I think under a great coach as Rafa clearly is, we may see the real Darryl come back to being the player he has shown that he can be!
Rafa clearly doesn't share such a jaundice view. He'll most likely go, he clearly wants to, but it'll only happen if Rafa sanctions it, and that will only be if the money is right, and if he believes he can't get the player to focus on and commit to the task. Benitez has done nothing other than say this, and has had nothing but praise for Sissoko, to add to making him Captain and giving him the prime position on the park. He's not likely to be thrilled with the come and get me stuff, but he won't write him off till he has to either.
Dont be so niave about Rafa. Jaundiced views in your opinion or not, facts speak for themselves and you are well within the minority in your support of this player.
Rafa would like to keep the player if the player were fully committed but he doesnt…..the player isnt…..and hasnt been for two years…..that hs clearly evident
Rafa is bigging him up to ensure the asking price is met….simple as…….deal with it.
MS is getting some stick off of Toon fans !

It was an early start this morning. A little after 5:30 I rose, attempted to shine, and after a short drive I was ready to serve the Lord for my church's annual golf tournament. As the morning stretched on I slipped into my role of helping each of the golfers and directing them on the rules of the tournament. By the end of the our each golfer was itching to get started and sped off to their tee box somewhere along the mountain course. Over the years I've tended to take the odd jobs serving in my church and this has been one of the oddest since I don't even play golf, nor watch it. Though the circumstances of servanthood tend to not be completely obvious at first glance.
In a nutshell, last year the tournament was dedicated and renamed for a brother in Christ who went home to be with the Lord. He was an incredible servant, much like my grandfather, and doing a small piece to follow in his example is what I do each and every year. Being a writer I enjoyed hearing the stories each Sunday morning, because it showed me that a transformed life in Christ is truly that transforming.
There is a Journey
Watching the golfers drive away was almost like watching a young believer take their faith seriously and with an extreme amount of enthusiasm. That fire one has for Christ is usually brightest the closer they are standing to God. That may sound cliché though the truth of the matter is that if you are dwelling and looking upon the face of God constantly then you can and are filled with the Spirit of God.
Being a writer I don't tend to live the stories, but I have the privilege of telling them. A writer is the storyteller. While the role has diminished in importance over the years it's still a crucial piece of showing the process of life. Ancient storytellers were the most important person in a village and had the historical records committed to memory. Back then either paper didn't exist or was incredibly expensive, so it was the only way to pass on information to future generations. Apprentices would spend most of their lives for the opportunity to be the one who could tell the stories taught to them by a master storyteller. It was considered an honor. What if we all learned to be servants in the same way? The state of the church would change if we cultivated those types of mentor/mentee relationships between believers.
In watching my grandfather before he passed away I saw a man who was willing to serve. I say that because he served, and it didn't matter where he served because each chance he got to serve was a chance to serve the Lord. If we looked at each chance to serve as the "honor of serving" our outlook would change so much. We wouldn't be the tired, broken, and beaten servants that wander through the church, but we would be the fire filled Christians who strive to serve more, in order to shine brighter for God.

World Events
No, this is not "World's" events. If you're looking for an article about the Cheerleading Worlds, you'll have to look elsewhere. I was not there. I spent most of the weekend doing yard work. But I spent the very last two hours or the weekend sharing the news with our country and the world as the President announced that Osama Bin Laden had been killed.
Before I go any farther, here is the disclaimer. This is a blog about cheerleading. I have no plans of turning this into a political site. However, sometimes something happens that is too big to be ignored. It transcends ordinary boundaries and spills into every aspect of life. For instance, last night during the NY Mets game, when word got out about Bin Laden, the crowd spontaneously burst into chants of "USA, USA, USA." Sports properly took a back seat, and a stadium of competing fans became united. So in this article, I mostly want to reflect on the current news. I have a few tie-ins to cheerleading stuff, but please forgive me that this is a little less grounded in cheering.
My parents say they will always remember where they were when they heard that President Kennedy was assassinated. My generations Kennedy moment was September 11. I was in an accounting class. I was running an all star program and had decided I needed some formal accounting training (which wound up being very beneficial). Anyway, I was on campus for 4 hours because I had 2 classes and some down time between them. My older brother was taking the same classes with me. We talked about what had happened. We observed everyone walking around. There was a lot of disbelief. There was a lot of anger. In our second class that day, our professor gave us an opportunity to spend a few minutes at the start of class talking about what had happened. Some fool raised his hand and said he thought we (The USA) "had it coming." If not for our level-headed professor the rest of the class might have run that guy right off the campus. It was around that time that I realized I had to figure out what to do with all star practices that night.
The gym was situated about 5 miles from a major Delta hub airport. Planes were landing and taking off literally non-stop to the point that you didn't even hear or notice them. Driving to the gym that day after class, the silence was deafening. All air traffic had been grounded. I was used to seeing the long lines of jet wash chris crossing the sky. On this day, the skies were perfectly blue and eerily still.
When I got to the gym, there were dozens of messages to be returned. It became clear that a lot of people were choosing to spend that evening together as families. That was actually great, as I intended to do the same thing. I made practice optional for kids that wanted to come. It turns out that everyone called and said they would miss practice. I got to close up early. I spent that night like most people I knew, watching the news with my family.
While I was glued to the TV, it occurred to me that the emotion that I was feeling most, and that I think moved people to cling to their families, was fear. I was used to feeling safe. I mean, I locked my front door when I left the house. It wasn't like things in the 50's and 60's. But I still basically felt like if a person was reasonably careful, they were unlikely to be a random victim of something horrible. Bin Laden changed that for me, and I think for a lot of us. He took the planes out of the sky and made the airspace around my gym a ghost town. He touched me with fear from all the way across the oceans in the Middle East, and I was angry that he had that power over me and the kids that I coached and their families. And the next day when I watched the President promise us justice, I was thankful that the person who caused my fear and caused so much pain to others would be punished.
And then, life went on. I got on a plane to coach my teams in Florida. People were still nervous. You noticed more security and more guns. They started checking our bags at the gates of the Magic Kingdom. People were a little nicer to strangers. I got on another plane a few weeks later to judge a competition. Life was moving on. People were getting less patient with long security lines. People were getting angry with the TSA and with each other. The great unity we all felt in the wake of 9/11 was dissipating.
Almost 10 years later, yesterday, we have come full circle. I now have another moment I will always remember. I was watching Donald Trump's show, Celebrity Apprentice. It's ironic since Trump and President Obama have been feuding in the media, that Trumps show got "trumped" by Obama's announcement about Bin Laden. I actually thought it might have been a prank in poor taste. But when the news actually came on, it made me incredibly reflective about what had just happened.
I did not feel personally safer. The fear that I felt in 2001 had long since faded away. So had most of the anger. The country has muddled through a difficult decade since then. Our economy has faltered. Our progress in the wars has been slow. Our reputation as a country that gets things done has been questioned. So news that WE, the USA, finally fulfilled a 10-year-old promise was strangely powerful to me. I do not know what this will do for our country. I hope it will give us back some of the confidence, pride and unity that was lost. I do not feel like celebrating death, but I do believe in celebrating justice fulfilled.
Thanks for indulging me on this more personal blog. I will get a cheer article out soon.Explore posts in the same categories: Stories and Opinions

ID:16991 Section: Health
Updated:Monday 13th October 2014
|An analog medical thermometer showing a temperature of 38.8 °C or 101.8 °F
Fever (also known as pyrexia or febrile response) is one of the most common medical signs and is characterized by an elevation of body temperature above the normal range of 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F) due to an increase in the temperature regulatory set-point. This increase in set-point triggers increased muscle tone and chills.
As a person''s temperature increases, there is, in general, a feeling of cold despite an increase in body temperature. Once body temperature has increased to the new set-point temperature, there is a feeling of warmth.
A fever can be caused by many medical conditions ranging from benign to potentially serious. Some studies suggest that fever is useful as a defense mechanism as the body''s immune response can be strengthened at higher temperatures; however, there are arguments for and against the usefulness of fever, and the issue is controversial. With the exception of very high temperatures, treatment to reduce fever is often not necessary; however, antipyretic medications can be effective at lowering the temperature, which may improve the affected person''s comfort.
Fever differs from uncontrolled hyperthermia, in that hyperthermia is an increase in body temperature over the body''s thermoregulatory set-point, due to excessive heat production or insufficient thermoregulation.Contents
|Core (rectal, esophageal, etc.)
|Note: The difference between fever and hyperthermia is the underlying mechanism.
A wide range for normal temperatures has been found. Fever is generally agreed to be present if the elevated temperature is caused by a raised set point and:
In healthy adult men and women, the range of normal, healthy temperatures for oral temperature is 33.2–38.2 °C (91.8–100.8 °F), for rectal it is 34.4–37.8 °C (93.9–100.0 °F), for tympanic membrane (the ear drum) it is 35.4–37.8 °C (95.7–100.0 °F), and for axillary (the armpit) it is 35.5–37.0 °C (95.9–98.6 °F). Harrison''s textbook of internal medicine defines a fever as a morning oral temperature of >37.2 °C (>98.9 °F) or an afternoon oral temperature of >37.7 °C (>99.9 °F) while the normal daily temperature variation is typically 0.5 °C (0.9 °F).
Normal body temperatures vary depending on many factors, including age, sex, time of day, ambient temperature, activity level, and more. A raised temperature is not always a fever. For example, the temperature of a healthy person rises when he or she exercises, but this is not considered a fever, as the set-point is normal. On the other hand, a "normal" temperature may be a fever, if it is unusually high for that person. For example, medically frail elderly people have a decreased ability to generate body heat, so a "normal" temperature of 37.3 °C (99.1 °F) may represent a clinically significant fever.TypesPerformance of the various types of fever a) Fever continues b) Fever continues to abrupt onset and remission c) Fever remittent d) Intermittent fever e) Undulant fever f) Relapsing fever
The pattern of temperature changes may occasionally hint at the diagnosis:
A neutropenic fever, also called febrile neutropenia, is a fever in the absence of normal immune system function. Because of the lack of infection-fighting neutrophils, a bacterial infection can spread rapidly; this fever is, therefore, usually considered to require urgent medical attention. This kind of fever is more commonly seen in people receiving immune-suppressing chemotherapy than in apparently healthy people.
Febricula is an old term for a low-grade fever, especially if the cause is unknown, no other symptoms are present, and the patient recovers fully in less than a week.Hyperpyrexia
Hyperpyrexia is a fever with an extreme elevation of body temperature greater than or equal to 41.5 °C (106.7 °F). Such a high temperature is considered a medical emergency as it may indicate a serious underlying condition or lead to significant side effects. The most common cause is an intracranial hemorrhage. Other possible causes include sepsis, Kawasaki syndrome, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, drug effects, serotonin syndrome, and thyroid storm. Infections are the most common cause of fevers, however as the temperature rises other causes become more common. Infections commonly associated with hyperpyrexia include roseola, rubeola and enteroviral infections. Immediate aggressive cooling to less than 38.9 °C (102.0 °F) has been found to improve survival. Hyperpyrexia differs from hyperthermia in that in hyperpyrexia the body''s temperature regulation mechanism sets the body temperature above the normal temperature, then generates heat to achieve this temperature, while in hyperthermia the body temperature rises above its set point due to an outside source.Hyperthermia
Hyperthermia is an example of a high temperature that is not a fever. It occurs from a number of causes including heatstroke, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, malignant hyperthermia, stimulants such as amphetamines and cocaine, idiosyncratic drug reactions, and serotonin syndrome.Signs and symptomsMichael Ancher, "The Sick Girl", 1882, Statens Museum for Kunst
A fever is usually accompanied by sickness behavior, which consists of lethargy, depression, anorexia, sleepiness, hyperalgesia, and the inability to concentrate.Differential diagnosis
Fever is a common symptom of many medical conditions:
Persistent fever that cannot be explained after repeated routine clinical inquiries is called fever of unknown origin.PathophysiologyHyperthermia: Characterized on the left. Normal body temperature (thermoregulatory set point) is shown in green, while the hyperthermic temperature is shown in red. As can be seen, hyperthermia can be conceptualized as an increase above the thermoregulatory set point. Hypothermia: Characterized in the center: Normal body temperature is shown in green, while the hypothermic temperature is shown in blue. As can be seen, hypothermia can be conceptualized as a decrease below the thermoregulatory set point. Fever: Characterized on the right: Normal body temperature is shown in green. It reads "New Normal" because the thermoregulatory set point has risen. This has caused what was the normal body temperature (in blue) to be considered hypothermic.
Temperature is ultimately regulated in the hypothalamus. A trigger of the fever, called a pyrogen, causes a release of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). PGE2 then in turn acts on the hypothalamus, which generates a systemic response back to the rest of the body, causing heat-creating effects to match a new temperature level.
In many respects, the hypothalamus works like a thermostat. When the set point is raised, the body increases its temperature through both active generation of heat and retaining heat. Vasoconstriction both reduces heat loss through the skin and causes the person to feel cold. If these measures are insufficient to make the blood temperature in the brain match the new setting in the hypothalamus, then shivering begins in order to use muscle movements to produce more heat. When the fever stops, and the hypothalamic setting is set lower; the reverse of these processes (vasodilation, end of shivering and nonshivering heat production) and sweating are used to cool the body to the new, lower setting.
This contrasts with hyperthermia, in which the normal setting remains, and the body overheats through undesirable retention of excess heat or over-production of heat. Hyperthermia is usually the result of an excessively hot environment (heat stroke) or an adverse reaction to drugs. Fever can be differentiated from hyperthermia by the circumstances surrounding it and its response to anti-pyretic medications.Pyrogens
A pyrogen is a substance that induces fever. These can be either internal (endogenous) or external (exogenous) to the body. The bacterial substance lipopolysaccharide (LPS), present in the cell wall of some bacteria, is an example of an exogenous pyrogen. Pyrogenicity can vary: In extreme examples, some bacterial pyrogens known as superantigens can cause rapid and dangerous fevers. Depyrogenation may be achieved through filtration, distillation, chromatography, or inactivation.Endogenous
In essence, all endogenous pyrogens are cytokines, molecules that are a part of the immune system. They are produced by activated immune cells and cause the increase in the thermoregulatory set point in the hypothalamus. Major endogenous pyrogens are interleukin 1 (α and β) and interleukin 6 (IL-6). Minor endogenous pyrogens include interleukin-8, tumor necrosis factor-β, macrophage inflammatory protein-α and macrophage inflammatory protein-β as well as interferon-α, interferon-β, and interferon-γ. Tumor necrosis factor-α also acts as a pyrogen. It is mediated by interleukin 1 (IL-1) release.
These cytokine factors are released into general circulation, where they migrate to the circumventricular organs of the brain due to easier absorption caused by the blood–brain barrier''s reduced filtration action there. The cytokine factors then bind with endothelial receptors on vessel walls, or interact with local microglial cells. When these cytokine factors bind, the arachidonic acid pathway is then activated.Exogenous
One model for the mechanism of fever caused by exogenous pyrogens includes LPS, which is a cell wall component of gram-negative bacteria. An immunological protein called lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) binds to LPS. The LBP–LPS complex then binds to the CD14 receptor of a nearby macrophage. This binding results in the synthesis and release of various endogenous cytokine factors, such as interleukin 1 (IL-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and the tumor necrosis factor-alpha. In other words, exogenous factors cause release of endogenous factors, which, in turn, activate the arachidonic acid pathway.PGE2 release
PGE2 release comes from the arachidonic acid pathway. This pathway (as it relates to fever), is mediated by the enzymes phospholipase A2 (PLA2), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and prostaglandin E2 synthase. These enzymes ultimately mediate the synthesis and release of PGE2.
PGE2 is the ultimate mediator of the febrile response. The set point temperature of the body will remain elevated until PGE2 is no longer present. PGE2 acts on neurons in the preoptic area (POA) through the prostaglandin E receptor 3 (EP3). EP3-expressing neurons in the POA innervate the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH), the rostral raphe pallidus nucleus in the medulla oblongata (rRPa), and the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus . Fever signals sent to the DMH and rRPa lead to stimulation of the sympathetic output system, which evokes non-shivering thermogenesis to produce body heat and skin vasoconstriction to decrease heat loss from the body surface. It is presumed that the innervation from the POA to the PVN mediates the neuroendocrine effects of fever through the pathway involving pituitary gland and various endocrine organs.Hypothalamus
The brain ultimately orchestrates heat effector mechanisms via the autonomic nervous system. These may be:
In infants, the autonomic nervous system may also activate brown adipose tissue to produce heat (non-exercise-associated thermogenesis, also known as non-shivering thermogenesis). Increased heart rate and vasoconstriction contribute to increased blood pressure in fever.Usefulness
There are arguments for and against the usefulness of fever, and the issue is controversial. There are studies using warm-blooded vertebrates and humans in vivo, with some suggesting that they recover more rapidly from infections or critical illness due to fever. A Finnish study suggested reduced mortality in bacterial infections when fever was present.
In theory, fever can aid in host defense. There are certainly some important immunological reactions that are sped up by temperature, and some pathogens with strict temperature preferences could be hindered.
Research has demonstrated that fever assists the healing process in several important ways:
Fever should not necessarily be treated. Most people recover without specific medical attention. Although it is unpleasant, fever rarely rises to a dangerous level even if untreated. Damage to the brain generally does not occur until temperatures reach 42 °C (107.6 °F), and it is rare for an untreated fever to exceed 40.6 °C (105 °F).Conservative measures
Some limited evidence supports sponging or bathing feverish children with tepid water. The use of a fan or air conditioning may somewhat reduce the temperature and increase comfort. If the temperature reaches the extremely high level of hyperpyrexia, aggressive cooling is required. In general, people are advised to keep adequately hydrated. Whether increased fluid intake improves symptoms or shortens respiratory illnesses such as the common cold is not known.Medications
Medications that lower fevers are called antipyretics. The antipyretic ibuprofen is effective in reducing fevers in children. It is more effective than acetaminophen (paracetamol) in children. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen may be safely used together in children with fevers. The efficacy of acetaminophen by itself in children with fevers has been questioned. Ibuprofen is also superior to aspirin in children with fevers. Additionally, aspirin is not recommended in children and young adults (those under the age of 16 or 19 depending on the country) due to the risk of Reye''s syndrome.
Using both paracetamol and ibuprofen at the same time or alternating between the two is more effective at decreasing fever than using only paracetamol or ibuprofen. It is not clear if it increases child comfort.Epidemiology
About 5% of people who go to an emergency room have a fever.History
A number of types of fever were known as early as 460 BC to 370 BC when Hippocrates was practicing medicine including that due to malaria (tertian or every 2 days and quartan or every 3 days). It also became clear around this time that fevers were a symptom of a disease rather than a disease in and of itself.Society and culture Etymology
Pyrexia is from the Greek pyr meaning fire. Febrile is from the Latin word febris, meaning fever, and archaically known as ague.Fever phobia
Fever phobia is the name given by medical experts to parents'' misconceptions about fever in their children. Among them, many parents incorrectly believe that fever is a disease rather than a medical sign, that even low fevers are harmful, and that any temperature even briefly or slightly above the oversimplified "normal" number marked on a thermometer is a clinically significant fever. They are also afraid of harmless side effects like febrile seizures and dramatically overestimate the likelihood of permanent damage from typical fevers. The underlying problem, according to professor of pediatrics Barton D. Schmitt, is "as parents we tend to suspect that our children's brains may melt."
As a result of these misconceptions parents are anxious, give the child fever-reducing medicine when the temperature is technically normal or only slightly elevated, and interfere with the child''s sleep to give the child more medicine.Other animals
Fever is an important feature for the diagnosis of disease in domestic animals. The body temperature of animals, which is taken rectally, is different from one species to another. For example, a horse is said to have a fever above 101 °F (38.3 °C). In species that allow the body to have a wide range of "normal" temperatures, such as camels, it is sometimes difficult to determine a febrile stage.
Fever can also be behaviorally induced by invertebrates that do not have immune-system based fever. For instance, some species of grasshopper will thermoregulate to achieve body temperatures that are 2 - 5 °C higher than normal in order to inhibit the growth of fungal pathogens such as Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium acridum. Honeybee colonies are also able to induce a fever in response to a fungal parasite Ascosphaera apis.

A Barrington Hills pedestrian accident has led to the death of a 28-year-old man. The accident occurred on Saturday (January 19, 2019) night.
Details on this Barrington Hills pedestrian accident appear to be somewhat limited at this time. The reason for the accident and the party at fault does not yet appear to be publicly disclosed.
An excerpt from the January 20, 2019 Chicago Tribune article titled "Pedestrian hit by car and killed in Barrington Hills late Saturday":
At about 11:50 p.m. Barrington Hills emergency responders were called to the intersection of Dundee Road and Potter Lane for a report that a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle.
Officers found a 28-year-old man who had been struck, according to the Barrington Hills Police Department. East Dundee Fire Department paramedics rushed the man to Sherman Hospital in Elgin, where he was pronounced dead, police said. The man's identity had not been released Sunday morning.
The man who was hit by the car was later identified as Michael Buchholz, 28, of Carpentersville. He was walking his dog at the time of the accident.
An accident investigation will determine the cause of the crash and the factors involved.
Additional details and possible updates concerning this Barrington Hills pedestrian accident can be seen in a variety of media sources, including the article mentioned above as well as the January 21 Daily Herald article titled "Man dies after being hit by car in Barrington Hills."

POSTS RESERVED for Scheduled Caste (SC) candidates will be reduced by half, those for Scheduled Tribe (ST) by almost 80 per cent and for OBC teachers by 30 per cent.
This is the unsettling projection made by Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Asia's largest residential varsity and among India's top ten institutions, if it were to implement the UGC's new formula for calculating reservation in teaching jobs.
According to data shared by the university administration, there were 1,930 faculty posts on May 12, 2017. If the institution were to implement reservation based on the old UGC formula, taking the university as a unit, 289 posts will be reserved for SCs, 143 for STs and 310 for OBCs. Under the new formula, which takes the department as a unit, the number of reserved positions drops to 119 for SCs, 29 for STs and 220 for OBCs.
Read | In lone central tribal university, only one out of 52 faculty posts for SC, ST, OBC
The central government has cited BHU's projection in its Special Leave Petition (SLP) filed with the Supreme Court last month to endorse its case that the Allahabad High Court judgment, which paved the way for the new UGC formula, "drastically reduces, and, in many departments completely wipes out, the representation of members of SC/ST community".
On March 5, the higher education regulator had issued a notification announcing that the number of reserved faculty posts across universities and colleges shall be calculated department-wise and not based on the aggregate vacant posts in a university.
The change, first reported by The Indian Express on October 23, 2017, was based on a verdict of the Allahabad High Court in April last year. While hearing a case on teachers' recruitment in BHU, the court held that reservation in teaching posts has to be applied department-wise by treating the department and not the university as a "unit".
Following a furore over UGC's order, the government had decided to file a SLP against the Allahabad High Court verdict in the Supreme Court. Although the UGC has informed all higher education institutions about the HRD Ministry's move to approach the top court, it hasn't withdrawn its March 5 order yet. According to sources, the regulator hasn't done so for the fear of being held in contempt of court.
Reservation based on department or subject as a unit, according to the notification last month, means that departments with single post cadres — usually the position of a professor — will be outside the purview of reservation.
Citing an example using the new formula, experts say departments with two or more faculty posts, but less than 15 in a cadre, will have only one reserved for an SC candidate at serial number 7 and for an ST candidate at serial number 14. So if a department has only six associate professor-level posts, none will be reserved for SC and ST candidates. Reservation will only be implemented through rotation, which experts say could take years.

Navarathri and other upwas/ vrat/fast days means that we cannot indulge in our usual dishes but also does not deter us from trying innovative ways to get around the rules and come up with winning dishes..
I am a South Indian but I also try the various Faraali dishes during Navarathri and try as I might it is difficult to lose the Southern taste buds and hence we come up with different combinations for having our Idlis, dosas and chutneys the Faraal way!!
It is not difficult to make small changes and one need not live on a diet of potatoes or sabudaana all the 9 days, with chnage of ingredients we can continue to have our favourite chutney smeared Idlis usign a spicy dry red chutney which goes well with parathas and rotis made with Faraal ingredients.
100 grams of peanuts
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1tbsp dhaniya seeds
4-6 tbsp dry coconut ( kopra)
1 tbsp sesame seeds
4-6 red round chillies ( boriya)
Sendha namak ( rock salt)
Roast all the ingredients separately without scorching . When cooled powder them finely.
Store in an air tight bottle and use during Vrat period or even on other days.
This goes well with Vrat ka idlis, dosas or parathas.
After the Vrat period, you can easily make this into a even more spicy delicious chutney powder by adding some garlic, 1 small bit of tamrind, roast and powder these and mix with the chutney powder.

Landscape Architecture and Small Spaces in DC
Landscape Architecture Month
To continue celebrating Landscape Architecure month, we're posting some excerpts from an interview Mark did with reporter Jay Bildstein about Landscape Architecture trends, designing roof top spaces, and how landscpae architecture can increase a home's value, among other topics.
Jay: If somebody from New York City, seeing you on television, seeing your work on HGTV on "Curb Appeal," if they said, "Mark you're the genius, you know, you're the guru. I want to fly you up to New York to design my very small 300 square foot terrace outside of my two bedroom apartment in Manhattan," could you then with your experience dealing with these more confined spaces, get up there and say this is what we're going to do, this is how we're going to blend the look in, as well as the view from your building.
Mark: Oh most definitely. I worked on a similar type of space in Arlington, VA, which is a mile from Washington, DC. The space has incredible views to the National Mall, the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial from the balcony. It's a very tight linear space, but in this case it was important to have every detail count. A lot of the plantings had to be put in large planters, so it was important for the pots, or planters, to have a one of a kind look. It's also has two very different water features which are elements that make the space so distinct and unforgettable. It's very important in a small space to have everything be cohesive so there aren't too many elements going on.
Jay: So let me ask you, by having in an expert like yourself involved, can homeowners beautify their home, and in beautifying their home, especially in a downturn real estate market, maybe increase the value of their home for a relatively modest investment and bring up the value of their home compared to let's say homes in their neighborhood that haven't been professionally landscaped?
Mark: Oh, yes. I've designed numerous gardens that have been featured in real estate brochures, showing that they're considered part of the livig space; it's particularly important in urban or city gardens to have these little oasises that serve as an extension of the house. An escape into a quiet and relaxing intimate garden area . It's been proven a minimum of 10% and as much 15% of the house's worth could be put into landscaping and you'll definitely see the return on your investment.

About 80% of us get it that we're going to die. We have done our will and other tasks such as end of life medical directives.
That's what the recent study by Bankers Life Center for Secure Retirement found.
Where we're dropping the ball is on financing our day to day lives.
For instance, the majority don't have a reserve fund for emergencies. The car requires a major repair. Our total financial situation can't absorb that expense. We are thrown into the scary darkness of debt. Or, there's a medical crisis or need for long-term care not covered by all our insurances. That could add up to six-figure bill.
That's why it make sense to continue to remain in the labor force, at least part-time, or to hold onto operating our own businesses. The income can be funneled into a reserve. According to the feds, one-third of those who retired have bounced back into the labor force.
Some of them found that they just can't make ends meet. Yes, inflation is low, but it's still going on. When I relocated to the Youngstown, Ohio Metro area in September 2016, ready-bagged iceberg lettuce sold at WalMart for $1.99. Now, it's $2.49. That's slo-mo inflation.
In addition, there are other ways to create a reserve fund.
One that those in Retirement Paradise Oro Valley, Arizona have been embracing is lowering their energy bills. A common tactic is switching to solar, which is easy in that sun-drenched part of the U.S.
Another is co-living. That has myriad versions. You can sell your house or stop renting your apartment. Instead move in with those in a house with private bedrooms but shared common facilities and areas. Or you can hold onto your house and rent out rooms to those whose skills can lower maintenance costs. You have a handyman move in and a woman who is an expert in landscaping.
A third is to relocate where there is plentiful public transportation. That facilitates ditching the financial burden of your own car. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has a wonderful system. So does Tucson, AZ.
The tough part about aging is the uncertainty. None of us knows what kind of change we will be wake up to. For instance, the results of the 2016 presidential campaign brought new threats to our entitlements such as Social Security and Medicare. That is part of what makes living more of a challenge than owning up to death.

Teddy Roosevelt's Nobel Prize: New Hampshire and the Portsmouth Peace Treaty
Theodore Roosevelt chose Portsmouth to be the site of the 1905 peace treaty negotiations between Russian and Japanese delegations to end the Russo-Japanese war. Charles Doleac's program first focuses on Roosevelt's multi-track diplomacy that included other world powers, the Russian and Japanese delegations, the US Navy, and New Hampshire hosts in 30 days of negotiations that resulted in the Portsmouth Peace Treaty and earned Roosevelt the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize. The program then focuses on how ordinary people from throughout New Hampshire positively affected the Portsmouth negotiations. The program customizes each presentation to the program site's local history at the time of the treaty to encourage audiences to join the annual statewide commemoration of "Portsmouth Peace Treaty Day" on Sept. 5.
This program is part of Diplomacy: Then and Now, a series that examines the history of some of the country's biggest diplomatic efforts and explores the importance of diplomacy in today's world. Diplomacy: Then and Now is presented by The Fells Historic Estate and Gardens and funded by a New Hampshire Humanities Community Project Grant.

Protocol: Acknowledgement that this performance was taking place on unceded Coast Salish land.
The performance started with Charles moulding clay on a pottery wheel while the three membered band, who remained on stage from the length of the play, played music. Projected behind him was footage from the documentary Bastardly that showed Charles shooting heroin. When the footage ended, the lights came on and revealed the stage. The stage was set up as if it were Charles's house or living area. There was a pottery area, a living room, and a kitchen area with a tea pot and kettle.
Right after the footage end, Charles stood up and started talking about his life. He started with his heritage and childhood and slowly went into talking about his acting career and his life of substance abuse and crime.
The play ended with Charles changing into formal clothes and addressing the audience as if he was in court and the audience was the judge. He was arguing for the right to have his criminal record cleared due to the fact that what led him into his life of crime was the physical, sexual, and mental abuse he faced from being taken from his family and put into residential school where he was isolated from his culture.
I attended the last performance of Jack Charles v. the Crown that showed in Vancouver on January 23, 2016. I really enjoy watching plays, but I did not know what to expect for this one because I have never watched a play where there was only one actor. From the first word Charles said, I knew that I would not have any difficultly watching only him for 75 minutes. Charles is a very animated, and captivating performer who has a stage presence that demands the attention of the audience. While he was talking about serious and upsetting issues, he did a brilliant job of bringing in humour without trivializing the topics being discussed.
After reading Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington, I was interested in listening to how Charles' experienced residential school in Australia, and how it compared/contrasted to residential schools in Canada. Yet, I learned very quickly that this play was not a history lesson. Charles gave a brief, but personal, account of his life and he did not dwell on the details of the abuse that he was subjected to in his past. In Medicine Shows, Nolan states how "good medicine" is about making connections and community (2) and it seems that Charles did this by making connections with Indigenous people in Australia and Canada.
The part of the play that intrigued me the most was the last section when Charles addressed the audience as if we were a judge or jury and he was arguing to have his criminal record erased. Due to the fact he was addressing the audience as if we were the Australian state, I could not help but feel uncomfortable and I was not sure why. When reflecting on this, I think it is because he broke the "fourth wall" and was speaking to us saying how "you did this". While he was talking about Australia, I could not help feel guilty as a settler here in Canada.
Overall, I really enjoyed this performance. I found it to be not only interesting and educational, but entertaining and beautiful to witness. I do wish that I could see it a second time though because I feel that I would get more out of it. There was a lot of speech through the play and it was difficult to catch everything.

By Ryan Miner
Karen Harshman's ejection from the Washington County Board of Education has set in motion a countywide nomination process that will ultimately be decided by the five Republican county commissioners.
Appointed by the radical, Trump-loving Washington County Republican Central Committee in 2016, Wayne Keefer, the fallback choice of Washington County Republicans after the late Vincent G. "Woody" Spong resigned from the Board of County Commissioners in January 2016, is, according to several Washington County political insiders and respected members of the community, courting Linda Murray as a potential replacement to fill Harshman's vacancy on the Board of Education and is rumored to be heralding her candidacy throughout the community.
Linda Murray, a retired Washington County Public Schools paraprofessional, finished in sixth place – behind Donna Brightman, the former Board of Education president – in the 2016 Washington County Board of Education general election. Murray was an ally and key proponent for Karen Harshman's agenda; she would have likely joined the Williams, Stouffer, Guessford and Harshman voting bloc had she been elected as a board member, an unsavory and well-known obstructionist board faction with a reputation for a lack of transparency, unbridled corruption, political chess playing and an inability to govern.
Supported heavily by both Neil Parrott's radical and uncompromising wing of the Tea Party as well as the Washington County Teachers' Association, Mrs. Murry, who is currently serving in an executive leadership role with the Washington County Republican Club, is rumored to be both Commissioner Keefer and Commissioner's President Terry Baker's first – and only – choice to fill Harshman's vacancy.
The Washington County Republican Central Committee held its annual Republican Lincoln- Reagan Dinner at Fountain Head Country Club earlier this week on Wednesday, May 3. After the dinner concluded, one dinner attendee wrote to me about Keefer:
"He [Keefer] and Baker were pushing her [Murry] at the Lincoln-Reagan dinner, and it pissed some people off."
I emailed Keefer yesterday morning, asking him point-blank if he is pushing Murray's candidacy for the BOE vacancy.
Keefer pushed back against the rumor, flatly denying that Murray is his first choice and that he's pushing her candidacy. Below is the unabridged email I wrote to Keefer:
Good Morning, Commissioner Keefer,
A series of rumors swirling suggest that you and Commissioner Baker are pushing former Washington County Board of Education candidate Linda Murray (should she apply) to fill the vacant seat on the Washington County Board of Education. I have heard from multiple community members that you have virtually promised Murray the seat.
I am writing a story for AMinerDetail.com and am requesting a comment from you.
Do you have a comment about the rumors percolating in the Washington County community about you committing to support Linda Murray for the Board of Education vacancy? Do you deny that you are pushing Murray for the appointment? And do you intend to fully weigh each applicant's merits before making a decision on whom to appoint?
I look forward to you answering my questions.
Keefer responded to my initial email yesterday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. Below is his complete and unedited response:
Hello Ryan,
As you might imagine will occur from time to time with major decisions which come before the BOCC, I am contacted by citizens who wish to express their support of, or objection to, proposed votes. This decision is of particular interest to the community, and it goes without saying that I have been contacted by numerous people urging me to support a number of different candidates for the BOE vacancy, including Linda Murray, but several others as well and in equal numbers. However, I have made no promises of support to any constituent or to any prospective applicant for the vacancy. Either your sources have been misinformed, a political adversary is concocting a story for personal gain, or my sincerity to each constituent and offer to carefully consider their request has been misinterpreted as a definitive answer.
Ryan, we met once, back in 2014 when I was President of the Hancock Chamber of Commerce and invited all candidates (Republican and Democrat and non partisan office seekers) to Hancock for a Candidates Forum. I made an effort during the forum to introduce myself to every candidate. I pushed for and promoted a fair opportunity for each to have their voice be heard, and opinions shared, so that the community could benefit from listening to all of the candidates. We gave everyone free speaking time….no questions so that we, the Chamber and Lions Club, weren't seen as partisan. No gotch'a questions from the moderator. I afforded each of my fellow sitting commissioners (unknown personally to me at the time) this opportunity, and their Democratic opponents, and they all attended. Ryan, I gave you that opportunity as a BOE candidate. I don't operate the way some have suggested to you, and have proven myself to be fair and honest in the past. I hope you will agree that I have shown nothing but since then.
Ryan, I appreciate your enthusiasm for blogging and writing. You often have interesting points of view worthy of consideration. I have great respect for my fellow commissioners. But, if there is any doubt in your mind of my independence from Commissioner Baker, I apologize and will take responsibility for not making myself available to you earlier. When we last communicated after the announcement of my selection to the BOCC…through email/ fb / or text…. I offered for the two of us to meet and chat over lunch or coffee. I never followed up in what was to become a hectic schedule during my first few months in office. I'd like to meet soon, if possible. The semester ends for me in two weeks. Give me another week so I can score papers and submit grades. Can we pick a day / location (Hagerstown area) after that?
Thank you,
Wayne Keefer
County Commissioner
Washington County, Maryland
I followed up with a second email to Keefer, pressing him again on the rumors that he is pushing Murray's candidacy, writing,
Several people who saw your last evening at the Washington County Lincoln/Reagan dinner reported to me that you were actively pushing Linda Murray as a candidate.
Do you deny this? Multiple people said they witnessed you and Commissioner Baker pushing Linda Murray's selection.
I sent my second email to Keefer last evening at 8:05 p.m. If or when Keefer responds, I will post his full, unabridged response as a follow-up to this story.

In the Life Through Design series, King Living explores the landscape of Australian design – both current and future – through the eyes of Australian designers, and how they interpret the Australian aesthetic in their work. In the second instalment, King Living interviews the award-winning architect, Andy Carson from Atelier Andy Carson. The architecture studio is one of the most exciting designers to come out of Sydney, with projects across Australia and internationally, establishing itself as a leader in high-end residential and commercial architecture.
King Living have extensively engaged with the breathtaking homes Carson designed for several of their campaigns – specifically the Range and the Headland both situated in the rolling hills of New South Wales' south coast, Gerringong.
The Headland - Photographed by Michael Nicholson, Tom Blanchford, Kate Ballis
The Headland was recently awarded the HIA-CSR Australian House of the Year 2019, a 400-square-metre residence consisting of three pavilions that form an open U-shape structure designed to embrace the challenging elements whilst protecting the central courtyard where a pool and fire pit resides. High atop the property, the minimalist-style home has a sharp angular façade clad twice in stone and zinc and cantilevered to create a gravity-defying illusion.
The Range - Photographed by Michael Nicholson, Tom Blanchford, Kate Ballis
King Living: Do you have a signature style?
Andy Carson: I wouldn't say I necessarily have a signature style, but I do have a specific approach. I use Modernism and Minimalism as a basis, but the designs are very much a reaction to the site conditions and client. I guess you could say modernism is a basis that is then distorted or manipulated toward particular problems and opportunities. I am always seeking to give clarity and a finer focus to the landscape, light, and passing of the day or season. I see Architecture as a filter for viewing the world and creating a calm sanctuary and point of reflection for the occupants.
Where does your inspiration come from?
AC: First and foremost, the site! Once I meet the client and visit the site, ideas naturally start to bubble up. It's really a mixture of instinct and experimentation and grappling with solving the puzzle. My biggest driver is not wanting to waste an opportunity and never wanting to feel we didn't ask enough 'what if?' questions. I am constantly inspired by other architects' and designers' work throughout history and of course from the natural environment.
What do you think defines Australian design?
AC: I think it's an interesting blend of European sensibilities with the more pragmatic concerns and a certain relaxed and informal approach. We have a great history of ingenuity and innovation, and there is a certain timelessness and restraint evident.
We have shot campaigns at the range and headland Dovecote properties you designed, what was the brief for that project and how did you approach it. Each building has a very distinct style.
AC: Both houses are a reinterpretation of the modern farmhouse but on different scales and with different objectives. The clients had quite a developed brief of what to accommodate, and they did stipulate that the guest house should be far simpler and have the appearance of a 'farm shed', but other than that we had much freedom to explore.
The Headland is the main 4-bedroom house and is perched high up on an exposed section of the property taking in all the expansive views, it was a no holds barred high-end reimagining of a modern farmhouse and gives a sense of being connected but floating within the landscape. It consists of three pavilions that form an open U-shape around a protected courtyard, which includes a pool and fire pit, it is set up so you can move around the space and always find a sheltered spot no matter what the season or conditions.
The Range is the smaller two-bedroom guest residence, a more simple rectangular form with a pitched roof mirroring the steel dairy sheds of the farm, it offers a completely different experience to anyone staying at the property, a more contained grounded connection to the farm with stunning sunset views of the Illawarra escarpment. Its palette is darker, moodier and it doesn't hide its steel framework, whereas Headland house is very clean and minimal and bright with nothing to detract from the outstanding views.
What do you think the future holds for Australian design?
AC: It's pretty bright currently. We are definitely part of the conversation internationally and there is a wave of interest and respect for our work. I'm often amazed at all the new designers and independent makers popping up all the time with a high calibre of design and craftsmanship. It's usually in international articles and journals that I see these fellow Australian designers for the first time – it's great to see. Not too long ago it seemed we were in a fishbowl looking out at the world and we often felt somewhat separate. I think there is some level of 'the exotic' or a specific defining character to our work that is appealing. It's not always easy to see from the inside!
Do you think this pandemic will change the way people view their homes? More integrated working from home solutions etc.
AC: Yes, I think it undoubtedly will, already I have had requests from clients to include more dedicated office and study areas in our projects. I do think we will still be working together in offices physically but the split between office and home will increase rather than being more rigid.
If you had to articulate the Australian Design aesthetic in 5 words, what would they be?
AC: Independent, Confident, Endemic, Pragmatic, Accessible!

How to remove Lyrics virus
If advertisement started to show up on all websites, and they are coming from Lyrics advertising utility – this guide might help you to cope with this problem. On this page, we've composed every single fact you should be aware of while facing Lyrics, its manners of penetration and techniques of its removal.
Our item is a useful guide for a beginner ad-hunter. Now we will teach you how to detect adware and hunt it down. We'll even give you the choice of armaments for this task! It could be a large-caliber antivirus, for the ones who favor the advanced way of hunting, or you can kill it with your own hands as the forefathers did from the rise of the Net. Don't hesitate to pick! If you are ready to uninstall Lyrics – ignore the informative parts and proceed to removal. If you wish to learn more on adware and its modus operandi – you'd better inspect the whole item. We will define for you the methods via which adware penetrated the machine, and how you need to act to prevent the similar situation in future. Besides this, we will tell you all you need to know about Lyrics's nature, and how perilous it could be if it's left unattended.
What is Lyrics. Removal reasons and methods
Lyrics is an advertising tool built to display banners to you and assure you that they're interesting enough to make a click. It's poor, irritating and nearly offenseless. If you have just Lyrics and nothing besides it – the OS might live a long time, but it won't happen, because advertising utilities usually engage their pals to the rave-up. Mind us, Lyrics wants to have a rave-up, and it'll be dizzying. Lyrics turns your PC vincible to outer hazards, and it can clog it with useless programs in a blink of an eye. In most cases, you'll receive other pieces of adware or basic viruses, but sometimes, you get ransomware as well, and, well, you'd better not to. Lyrics is a huge hole in the OS' defense, and you'd better close it in a timely manner.
We know lots of sorts of advertising utilities, and they could infect the device in lots of ways. They're all known to us, but some techniques are too obvious to put them on our list. Here we've listed the most effective ones:
- Sponsored installation, AKA "bundling" is the easiest way for Lyrics to penetrate customer's system. Its best advantage is simpleness, and its best aspect (for swindlers, of course) is that customer performs the whole process without any help. They only need to make a bundle with several advertising programs are combined with a program that people commonly like. A victim needs the utility, so he finds the package, launches the installation and in the end - gets all dangerous trash that's in it. To avoid it, you'd better read carefully all windows in which they offer you to place checkmarks. Don't click "agree" without thinking, because it causes big problems.
- Download from creators' web page. This method is not as effective as bundling, and usually, it succeeds when a virus is uploaded to some more or less well-known portal. Say, a dude wishes his web page on the first page of search results and creates a program that reminds you of updates, new content, and other stuff. The issue with these tools is that after a while it will begin showing you advertising links with annoying frequency. Fortunately, these tools could be deleted easily, and they won't come back again.
- Infection via an infested web page or from a direct link. It happens frequently with serious malware, but advertising utilities use this technique sometimes. We'd bet you've encountered it at least once. While you're on a web page, you see an ad, proposing you to download a highly useful tool to do faster than well-known search engines. Does it feel familiar? You pass the link and find yourself on a shiny modern site, convincing you that well-known search utilities are useless and tricky, yet Lyrics program is different. It is fair, fast, and won't pass your data to major corporate organizations. And that's the truth, as it will transfer them to small and cheap companies and groups of scammers, who will make use of it. These tools are also simple to beat: do not click on pop-up banners. It doesn't matter whether or not they look reliable – just don't. Ignore all invitations, originating from unknown sources, and the system will remain safe and fast.
We're assured that the virus penetrated the machine via one of those methods, and after reading the above list you're able to shield the computer against them. Let's just get rid of adware.
