Get a Glimpse of the Future: King Tides 2020
Surfrider Beach Third Point, Malibu. Photo by The California Coastal Commission
On January 10-12 and February 8-9, 2020, head to the beach during the King Tides to catch a glimpse of what our future coast will look like with sea level rise.
King Tides occur when the sun and moon align to exert the greatest gravitational pull on Earth, resulting in the most extreme high and low tides of the year. In California, experts say that King Tides today are what we can expect our daily high tide to look like in the next few decades under climate change and sea level rise predictions.
For many people, it's hard to see everyday impacts of climate change locally and difficult to understand real-life impacts that are here or coming. King Tides give us the opportunity to visualize firsthand what a higher sea level will be like. This is also an opportunity to get involved as a community scientist, document the King Tides through photos, and use #KingTides. These photos can be used by scientists, government agencies, and decision makers to understand, plan for, and educate about climate change impacts.
There are actions that we can all take today to minimize and prepare for coming climate change impacts. For instance, individuals can reduce their carbon footprint by driving less, adopting a plant-based diet, and demanding action from elected officials. Individuals and agencies can support and advocate for restoration of coastal wetlands, such as the Ballona Wetlands, which sequester carbon and buffer communities from sea level rise and storm surges. And governments can update their Local Coastal Programs (a planning document to guide development) to plan for sea level rise and climate change.
You can even participate in the University of Southern California Sea Grant beach walk on February 7 in Manhattan Beach, Ocean Institute's nature walks on February 8 and 9 at 10:30am in Dana Point, City of Oceanside's observation and discussion of King Tides on February 9 at 8:30am, or check out other local King Tides events.

The benefits of The Gospel are not applied based upon our performance…period. You are not saved through faithfulness. You are not saved through trust (where faithfulness and trust are understood as something other than propositional belief). Faithfulness and trust are words about your performance with respect to something. You are not saved by unmerited favor through your merited performance. However, here is a very interesting question: does Paul undercut his own message with the following warning?
"You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace." Galatians 5:4 NASB
Is Paul saying, "you who are mis-performing relative to The Gospel will not enjoy the benefits of The Gospel, benefits which are gifted and applied without regard to performance"?
Well, if Paul is telling us the truth, then the answer can't be "yes". If the answer is "yes", our benefiting from the gospel is determined by our performance. That is, there is some law according to which our performance relative to such a law determines our relationship to The Gospel's benefits. And if this is the case, then we would couldn't help but be mis-performing relative to The Gospel by seeking to ensure that we are appropriately performing relative to this law. A consequent of this reasoning is that those who would even appeal to Paul's warning here as a proof text that we can lose our salvation have already mis-performed relative to the gospel (or they are at least leading others to mis-perform). That which is behind the belief that one can lose their salvation is the belief or fear that our performance is in fact that through which we are justified. Our citing this verse as a proof text for our being able to lose our salvation only counts as proof that we don't get the gospel.
But if Paul is not undercutting his own message, the very message that he has been trying to drive home in Galatians, what is he saying? Why is he saying it? This is truly a brilliant passage. Paul is laying out the impossible gospel. What Paul is saying here in Galatians is equivalent to the claim that those who are trying to accomplish something by trying are destined to fail and have already done so. For example, if I told you to open some jar without trying to get it open, how would you begin your task? No matter what steps you take get that jar open, you have already failed the task. The lesson here is this: there is The Gospel and there is The Impossible Gospel and those who think that their performance matters are pursuing The Impossible Gospel; they are pursuing that which they cannot get by trying. And Paul is saying, "for those who want a gospel of works, a gospel of performance, here…here is your gospel of performance. And, by the way, it is impossible." There is only one rational response to Paul's words here: stop trying and wait for God (Galatians 5:5). The waiting, of course, is not performing. It's only what you can't help but do when you stop trying.
But, some will still persist, "But can't we lose our salvation? If a man can be severed from Christ, then a man can lose his salvation." One is not in a position to understand the warning language of the gospel of grace and liberty until they have grasped the weight of The Impossible Gospel. Go. Wrestle with The Impossible Gospel until you get it and do not stop until you do. And then and only then will you be in a position to make sense of such warnings.

Greeley's Battle
DURING THE THREE YEARS AFTER THE ELECTION of 1856, Greeley's life followed its usual strenuous pace, with multiple interests crowding in upon him at every hand. He continued the struggle against weeds and water on his farm, fought hard against the rising power of Fernando Wood in New York City politics, lectured, traveled across the continent, and presided jealously over the destinies of the Tribune. But his paramount interest, the subject to which he devoted himself over and above all else, was the battle that he had marked out against the Slave Power.
It was slavery, Greeley dinned into his readers, that was the great bar to the economic development of the West and of the South itself. It was the Slave Power, hostile alike to free labor and free land, opposed to protection for American industry, avid for expansion into new areas within and without the Union, that was the real threat to the safety and prosperity of the nation. National interest demanded that the power of the slavocracy be curbed, and that the institution itself be set on the high road to extinction. 1
The Slave Power, Greeley declared, had captured the party of Pierce and Douglas and Buchanan, making it more than ever a party of democracy in name only—a Sham Democracy. That party, as the subservient tool of the southern oligarchs, was eager to invade the rights of self government in countries to the south of the United States. It stood opposed to protection, to free land, even to land grant colleges, bound as it was hand and foot to the chariot wheels of the great planters. Left to work its will, the Sham Democracy would transform this democratic republic into a slaveholding oligarchy. 2
But, fortunately for the country, a new party had come into being at this critical juncture, a party that was committed to the true interests of the nation. Republicanism, as Greeley understood it

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Yale University is selling off its oil stocks linked to the African nation of Sudan because the country has been accused of genocide.
"The time-honored principles that Yale observes as an ethical institutional investor have guided us to take this strong action," Yale President Richard Levin said Wednesday in announcing the move.
He said he did not know the value of the stock, calling it "a small piece of a large fund."
Accused of genocide
The United States and international humanitarian groups have accused the Sudanese government of using its oil wealth to wage genocide against the people in the western Darfur region.
Levin said the university had stock in one of seven oil companies that it determined were providing "the lion's share of the revenue to the Sudanese government."
The Yale Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility, with help from Yale Law School's international human rights clinic, recommended the move, and Yale Corporation voted at a meeting last week to divest.

The employer's story
Company: WhyApply
How did you get involved?
I was introduced to Transitions via a mutual contact and was immediately struck by the work they were doing, and wanted to be involved. At a time when the construction industry is constantly claiming there is skills shortage, here is an excellent pool of talent waiting to be given the opportunity to show case their skills and are able to fill vacant positions. I couldn't understand why Transitions was finding it so difficult to get support from major employers and wanted to help promote what they do.
How successful was the placement?
We have made placements for internships in smaller engineering employers and in the public sector. Candidates have the opportunity to get valuable UK work experience and learn some of the "softer skills" of working in a UK office environment. Success from my perspective has been that candidates have worked in organisations that ordinarily may not have been on their radar, and now open to working in different types of organisational structures. They have had an opportunity to work on some interesting development projects and met a range of people from within the industry which I know will have increased their confidence, and to be part of that, has been very satisfying.
Why should commercial recruiters engage with Transitions?
It's simple – Employers need people who are ready for the new world of work; who have agile minds, can problem solve, and resilient. I believe candidates from Transitions have the right mindset and have experiences to demonstrate these skills; the technical skills can be taught.
The refugee professionals still meet the job criteria; they know they must compete and work hard. They do not want to be treated differently. If companies just give them a chance, they will be rewarded with loyalty and a strong work ethic. Where companies are working internationally, particularly post Brexit, it makes business sense to harness the knowledge these people have of new markets, to create new propositions.
Recruiters who are supplying to corporates need to help them to be open minded, imaginative and proactive. Fear and lack of knowledge of legislation around refugees' permission to work should not be an excuse not to hire from this community. Transitions are here to help and provide fantastic support to ensure compliance. Once recruiters and employers are more familiar with that, there's a gateway to talent that is currently being wasted.
Would you recommend the services of Transitions?
Transitions is a great organisation with candidates who are highly skilled, educated, and speak multiple languages. With a lot of commentators saying the industry is lacking skilled labour, it's a no brainer. I would absolutely recommend it to businesses of all sizes. On a more general level, we all have a role in society to help and welcome people into this country who have nothing and know nobody. We need labour and these people can work and want to work. Whilst it can be challenging for busy managers with a demanding workload assimilate and support these workers, Transitions have extensive on-boarding experience and offers a good after-care service. As long as there is commitment, organised plan, everything else can be overcome.

Reviewing and discussing on the more interesting horror manga I've read recently, "Zekkyou Gakkyuu", or "Screaming Lessons" by Ishikawa Kei. More within.
I stumbled across the manga after reading some pages of the chapter, "Friendly Apartment Complex", and immediately finished the manga in one sitting. While it did achieve horror through the sheer contrast between its cutesy, shoujo-style illustrations and its grim endings, the manga disappointed me numerous times due to its constant breaks away from its overall theme.
What is its overall theme, you ask? As the title implies, the stories serve as perhaps a twisted version of Aesop's Fables, each tale with its own moral and ending. Each tale seems to tell us a simple concept or lesson that children should know: don't waste food, be grateful to your parents et cetera. Even though the initial concept is novel, interesting and carried consistently throughout the first volume, Ishikawa seems to deviate from this and slowly move onwards to random, even cliche tales of horror or even sappy shoujo endings.
Admittedly, expecting Ibitsu-style horror from such a cutesy horror manga is a bit too much to ask for. However, it's not unfair to say that as much as Ishikawa attempts to stay focused on the theme of her comics, the links she builds get more and more tenuous, to the point where they seem almost arbitrary. Furthermore, the stories become less and less 'horror' manga altogether. In Volume 2, Ishikawa continues to attempt the same format of story. This is where it gradually seems to lose its focus: while chapter 9, "Kasako-San is Coming" is a short tale of the existential horror of the demons within us all, Chapters 10-11, "The Truth about Yomi" become a cheesy, cliche tale of school bullying, a theme seen throughout the manga itself. Chapters 12 , " The Endless Game of Tag" and 13 "Shii-chan's Diary" are similarly cliche, with the 'moral' being stretched to the point where it seems almost random and utterly pointless. Chapter 13 and Chapter 10 become much more 'shoujo' than 'horror' at all, with time skips and reversals and even explicit deus ex machinas for a happy ending.
Speaking of horror, a peeve I have with Ishikawa's work is that it can't decide on how to project horror onto the audience. What kind of horror is being aimed for? While at times Ishikawa chooses to incorporate grim endings to teach the readers the moral of the story, for instance in Chapter 3 where the protagonist and her doll, who she feeds, switch bodies forever, she suddenly switches to a kind of despairing horror which uses human nature as its medium. The manga becomes less a series, and more an anthology. Consistency in writing is a virtue, and same goes for manga writing. Why the constant deviation from your central theme?
As such, even though the concept of the manga was novel and interesting at first, I'm afraid its inability to be consistent in its delivery really dropped its value in my eyes, and I'd give it a 3/5 tops. For a manga titled after its core concept/gimmick of being nothing but moral lessons, the ideas for lessons seemed to run dry halfway through the manga itself. Ishikawa attempts to stand between two stools: attempting to write horror while teaching beneficial lessons, but she finds herself slipping between them. I guess the manga would do better if it focused more upon one aspect rather than attempt to achieve both at the same time, at the same levels.
Quick poll, readers: would you be ok if I started reviewing horror manga, but with more gore inside? I.E. graphic images, et cetera.
Please leave your opinion in the comment section below.

Hey everyone! Over the years working with brick exteriors, I have found my favorite color combination with red brick is dark gray:
Don't you agree the gray together with the brick looks beautiful?
Grays are tricky because of their undertones. The undertones of a color really stand out in the sunlight. The lighter grays have blue undertones, such as Boothbay Gray HC-165 and Stonington Gray HC-170. Here is a example photo:Read More

When Disney acquired Maker Studios three years ago, it felt as though the sky was the limit for creators but then things took a turn. After announcing they were cutting ties with the bulk of their YouTube creators and controversial gamer PewDie Pie, Disney and Maker showed off a new approach with all of Disney's digital businesses now under one brand: Disney Digital Network.
The new brand will cover Disney's editorial brands Babble, Polaris, and Oh My Disney, as well as over 300 social media channels based on their popular movie characters, and the new Maker creator network. It will also include the in-house branded content company Disney Co/Op. The combined brands total one billion total followers.
At today's NewFront presentation, Disney executive vice president Andrew Sugarman delved into the decision to downsize and how it will benefit advertisers and allow Disney to integrate more of their home talent. The discussion of how YouTube monitors ads has been a major part of the conversation at NewFronts after the recent boycott from some marketers who were upset that some ads were being run against extremist videos containing violence and hate-speech.
Finally, Disney unveiled their full programming slate below:
Science and Star Wars: An episodic series that explores, explains, and demonstrates the parallels between the science fantasy of Star Wars and the real-world scientific breakthroughs the saga has inspired. Join show host Anthony Carboni and his rotating roster of IBM researchers, scientific experts, guest stars, and Watson, to explore and experiment with technology that isn't so far, far away anymore.
Oh My Disney Show, Season 2: Comedy, news, trends, and sketches combine in this always-on show built for every Disney's fan's feed.
Club Mickey Mouse: Club Mickey Mouse is a digital-first variety show that celebrates the original show of yesteryear but brings it into the present-day with a diverse cast of talented young creators, and, of course, everyone's favorite mouse.
Disney IRL: Oh My Disney brings iconic animated Disney characters and moments to real life, surprising people on location and our viewers at home.
COIN: COIN is an animated action-comedy on Polaris with a distinct, game-inspired aesthetic that follows a team of misfits tasked to save their world. Brought together by time traveling robot Crohnobot, Donovan (a gruff plumber quick to anger), Kid Victory (a master of weaponry), and the Sisters Vicious (twin masters) of illusion who hate each other) must defeat super-villain Gamovah and retrieve the coin of Chorder before it's too late.
Disney Design Challenge: The best and brightest young designers are invited to push the boundaries of their art form to create beautiful, innovative, and memorable works inspired by Disney films. In the first season, we challenge students in the fashion design program at Otis College of Art and Design to create an eight-look clothing line inspired by Disney's Frozen.
Disney Magical Starts: This show is for the parents who want to spend more time creating experiences with their kids, but don't know where to start. Our host parents and their kids help you tackle every day, and every new season, from holidays to back-to-school, with meal ideas, activities, crafts, tips, and more. And with a little help from our beloved Disney characters, family time is even more magical.

We all have a couple of go to brands for types of products, over even any aspect of our lives. Brand loyalty matters a lot, but brand advocacy definitely benefits a brand in a deeper level. According to the latest statistics by analytics group YouGov, online store Lazada ranks on top in terms of brand advocacy.
The rankings were measured according "Recommend Scores" from customers of each brand. The scores were measured with questions "Would you recommend the brand to a friend or family member, or would you recommend that a friend or family member avoid the brand?" The final scores are then calculated by subtracting the negative responses from the positive ones.
Lazada is arguably one of the most popular e-commerce brands in Malaysia, if not the most popular, with a score of 76.6. The results by YouGov also shows the popularity of internet brands. WhatsApp and Facebook come in at 2nd and 8th places respectively. The two most advocated automotive brands are Toyota and Honda at 3rd and 5th places respectively. The Apple iPhone in particular makes it to the list, instead of Apple in general, coming in at fourth place. Chinese smartphone brand Huawei sits in 7th place, being the largest improver from 2016.
Ervin Ha, Head of Data of YouGov Brand Index stated that brand advocacy is the strongest ever vote of confidence possible to give to a brand. Brand advocacy entails recommendation from friends or family, which goes beyond consumers' favor over brands. Did any of your favorite brands make the list?

After a gunman killed five police in an ambush following a peaceful protest in downtown Dallas, some critics of Black Lives Matter began to blame the movement for the shootings.
CNN reported Friday morning that a gunman, who had nothing to do with the movement, was killed by an explosive device on a police robot. He was reportedly upset about recent police-involved shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota.
Still, critics blamed peaceful protesters for the senseless killings, reports The Daily Beast:
"Pop, pause, pop, pause. Then you see the first two officers go down," said Jamal Johnson, who attended the evening's rally and remained behind among bewildered protesters and gathering bystanders waiting for answers.
From The New York Daily News:
"This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you."
Even police have said the protest was peaceful, so why would Walsh blame protesters? Is it because they are trying to shake up the status quo by raising questions about police excessive force in communities of color?
Indeed, no one wants to see police shot and killed by a raving mad man – or anybody. And calling for the end of police excessive force is not the same as calling for the death of police officers. The issues are mutually exclusive.
Walsh needs to delete his Twitter account and learn the facts. Sound off in the comments.

Gilbert puts on a very high energy show in concert, but he admits that every once in a while his mind wanders from what he's doing and he says, "Forgetting the words is one of my biggest fears, I think. (Laughs) That'd be pretty embarrassing if I froze up cause a lot of my songs are wordy. I don"t know where I'd pick it back up at."
If he ever does forget the words to one of his songs Brantley jokes, " I'll figure something out. I'll fake a fall or a broke leg or something."
Fortunately his latest single, "You Don"t Know Her Like I Do," is a bit slower and might be easier to pick back up if he ever does draw a blank.

Research: Many MT Forests Not Coming Back After Fires
MISSOULA, Mont. – If climate change continues on its current trajectory, Montana forests are likely to look much different in the future, according to new analysis led by Colorado State University scientists.
Researchers looked at forests in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Washington and Wyoming after 52 wildfires over the past three decades, and found forests are losing their resilience because of the warming climate. In other words, the drier climate is hurting forests' chances of regrowing like they did before.
Phil Higuera is an associate professor of fire ecology at the University of Montana who worked on this study.
"The pattern that we document here - a lack of tree regeneration - this is exactly what we'd expect to see as conditions become warmer and drier," Higuera said. "And indeed, the data indicate that the conditions have been warmer and drier over the last 15 years than in the prior 15 years."
One of the most troubling findings was that, in one-third of the areas studied, researchers found forests aren't coming back at all.
Higuera stressed researchers are not saying there won't be any more forests after wildfires in the future. But this analysis did find the proportion of forests that aren't coming back is going up.
On the bright side, Higuera said this report shows the glass is two-thirds full, so to speak. He hopes officials can use it to better manage forests going forward.
"An important thing moving forward is for us to help identify where we expect tree regeneration to occur naturally after wildfires, and where we expect either lower tree regeneration or complete failure in tree generation," he said. "It's in those latter areas, if we want forests to come back there, that's where we need to be most proactive."
Higuera said the changing climate affected low-elevation forests more than high-elevation forests because conditions were drier there and harsher for seedlings.

The Uniqueness of Human
Female Sexuality vs Other Mammals
Highlights of Sex, Time and Power
By Leonard Shlain
Unique - Women's Hidden Ovulation
Unlike most other female specious females do not advertise their ovulatory burst. With very few exceptions, other species' females have a distinct period of sexual receptivity during which they experience a powerful instinctual drive to mate. To the males of her species, a female emanates a distinctive "green light," whether olfactory, visual, auditory, gestural, or some combination thereof. These episodic heights of female sexual desire are exquisitely timed to coincide with her ovulation. Previously uninterested males are alerted by her attention-grabbing signals.
Estrus, as this upsurge is called in female primates, promotes harmony between the sexes. When both male and female are equally excited about mating, it is likely that they will have an amicable and mutually rewarding encounter. Obviously, a considerable benefit accrues to the species if mating occurs in synchrony with ovulation. Sperm meets ovum, and conception occurs. Eve's daughters, however, lack this most basic sexual semaphore, having replaced it with concealed ovulation. Human ovulation is so cryptic that most women remain unaware when, precisely, their eggs have departed from their ovaries.
Unique - Women's Constant Sexual Ability
Further obscuring the timing of her ovulation, the human female acquired the potential to engage in sex, if she desired, 365 days of the year, during pregnancy, lactation, menstruation, and even after menopause. [Bonobos, a kind of chimpanzee, also engage in sex nearly continually. Nevertheless, females signal through smell and visual displays when they are in estrus, even if that estrus lasts two weeks of their six-week cycle. Ninety percent of bonobo sexual penetration take place within their estrual period.]
An alternative way to state this unusual condition would be to say that the human female does not experience a distinct period of estrus because she is in a state of constant estrus. Precious few other species' females could hold a candle to the human female in this department. No other species has so definitively uncoupled sex and reproduction as the human line. Since sex is so intricately intertwined with reproduction in the other three million sexually active species, what would have been the reason that Natural Selection abandoned this successful strategy in humans?
Unique - Women's Prolonged Orgasmic Response
Another innovation: Some human females experienced a prolonged orgasm capable of multiple sustained repeats. And yet no nonhuman female, in her observable behavior, comes anywhere near to attaining the heights of sexual pleasure manifested by a woman in the throes of her orgasm.
The male's orgasm, in human and other species, is a necessary component of his ejaculation. It is followed by his rapid withdrawal and prompt disengagement. Only in the human can the female notify the male through vocal or body language, after the completion of his delivery call, that she is not finished, and that she expects him to continue until further notice.
Unique - Variety in Human Sexual Positions
Moreover, the variety of sexual positions used in human intercourse exceeds that of virtually all other species. Women became the first land females to habitually copulate face to face with their partners, and they became the first females to increasingly take advantage of an alternative position: mounting a supine male. [Stump-tailed monkeys and bonobos also use these positions on occasion, but a male mounting from the rear of the female remains their preference.]
Unique - Human Foreplay
Another feature of human sexuality is the prolonged period of sexual foreplay that occurs prior to penetration. Many other species engage in elaborate mating and courting rituals. However, when they finally get down to business, sexual foreplay is virtually nonexistent. The human male, in contrast, seems to have grasped the key fact somewhere along the line that it was in his best interests to expend considerable time and effort preparing his partner so that she, too, could experience pleasure. Concern for the pleasure of the female he is preparing to penetrate is not a motive that one would impute to the amatory repertoires of any other species' males. [Again, male bonobos also exhibit this behavior to a limited degree, and chimpanzee males will groom a female who is pregnant or lactating in the expectation that when she comes into estrus again she will be more receptive to him.]
Unique - Women's Blood Loss
Biologists estimate that there are between ten million and thirty million different species of life-forms on earth today. Of these, four thousand are mammals. Only one among the four thousand experiences significant blood loss on a regular basis. If conception does not occur, a fertile human female sheds the lining of her uterus along with approximately forty to eighty milliliters (several tablespoons) of blood every four weeks. A few other mammals--for example, hedgehogs, bats, shrews and elephants--show signs of menses, but for all of them it is a relative nonevent. Primatologist Alison Jolly estimates that there are approximately 270 different species of primates. Only thirty-one species of primates menstruate. All of these but one, a human, lose an insignificant quantity of blood.
Unique - Menopause Period
Another anomaly of the human female's sexual life cycle is her menopause. A woman stops ovulating at an earlier point in her life than any other female mammal, while coincidentally acquiring the distinction of becoming the longest-lived terrestrial mammal. [Some bowhead whales have been estimated to live to 150 years.]
If she avoids maternal mortality and other female causes of an early demise, a woman can on rare occasions achieve a life span exceeding a hundred years. The human female was clearly built to last. At present in the United States, she outlives her male counterpart by an average of six years, while attaining an average life span of eighty-three years.
A postmenopausal woman possesses a longer period of life during which she is incapable of conceiving a new life than any other female mammals, even though she remains quite vigorous for most of these years. With very few exceptions, other mammalian females ovulate right up to the day they die. And a woman stands in stark contrast to a man, who, despite advanced age and many infirmities, usually can generate viable sperm far into his dotage. Another baffling feature of human menopause: Despite the early cutoff in their reproductive faculty, some menopausal women report an increased libido. If the purpose of sex is the continuation of the species through reproduction, why, only in the human line, did early cessation of ovarian function combine with longevity and increased libidinous desire?
Unique - Women's Willpower
The innovations distinguishing the human female from other mammalian females mentioned thus far pale when compared with her most spectacular new feature. She became the first species who possessed the willpower to refuse consistently to engage in sex around the time she was ovulating. For that matter, she was the first animal of either sex , of any species, capable of deciding to remain celibate if she so desired.
This resolve is the heart of Response W. This is the gift Natural Selection bestowed upon her for having to endure Factor X, high maternal mortality and painful childbirth. It is something that had heretofore never existed in the animal kingdom. Philosophers call it Free Will. And herein lies the crux of relations between the sexes. African Eve and her daughters developed the determination to choose consciously a course of action that overrode the instinctual circuits that drive every other species' females to copulate when they ovulate. Females of some other species may be able to choose which male among multiple suitors upon which they wish to confer their favors; an occasional female of any species may decide not to mate with anyone or at any time. But the human species was the first in which all the females evolved the capacity to decide consciously to refuse to mate during any one ovulation or all the time.

Struggle to replace Ryan could blow up US budget deal
Spending cuts being proposed by fiscal conservatives could scupper the truce agreed between the parties
A six-month budget truce stitched together by Congress in March could unravel if Republican leaders vying to replace US House of Representatives speaker Paul Ryan indulge party conservatives who want to renege on critical parts of the pact.
At issue is a resurgent move by conservative Republicans to rescind or cut about $60 billion in non-defence domestic spending increases that were key to winning Democratic votes. That deal also significantly raised US military spending this year as demanded by Republicans.
Those seeking the cuts would need the support of Republican House leaders, such as Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise, both seen as potential rivals to replace Ryan as the No. 1 House Republican and – if the party retains its majority in November elections – as speaker.
Mr McCarthy, the House majority leader, talked up the provocative spending cuts on Thursday. In a statement, he said Republicans were "looking at other tools to cut spending" and added: "We have nothing to lose by making big changes."
Read more:
US House Speaker won't seek re-election, will retire in January
One of several Republicans who will have a say in the budding battle, Mr McCarthy explicitly mentioned using a procedural tool known as rescissions in which president Donald Trump could team up with Republicans to kill off the non-military spending increases.
Allowing that to happen could rekindle the budget battles that consumed Congress for much of 2017 and early 2018, a scenario that lawmakers had hoped the $1.3 trillion March spending bill had averted through November's congressional elections.
Both Democrats and moderate Republicans warned against such an outcome. "Bad idea," said Republican representative Charlie Dent.
"If they want to go down this path, which won't be successful ... we wouldn't be able to pass an appropriations bill" for the fiscal year beginning on October 1, he said.
More broadly, he added, trashing the spending deal would "have a chilling effect" on all sorts of future legislation.
Mr Ryan and enough rank-and-file Republicans could link arms with Democrats to defend the spending deal enacted into law on March 23 and prevent a resumption of hostilities over the budget.
Doing so, however, could risk alienating Republican conservatives such as representative Jim Jordan, a leading member of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus, at a politically delicate time given the looming leadership shake-up in the house and November's elections that have Republicans struggling to persuade voters of their fiscal conservatism.
"Let's get aggressive," Mr Jordan told reporters just hours after Mr Ryan said on Wednesday that he would quit congress at the end of 2018, setting up an internal struggle to replace him.
Mr Jordan urged pushing for the cuts to Democrats' domestic priorities, along with welfare changes and tougher oversight of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has investigated Russia's role in the 2016 US presidential election.
Any ambitious house leader could help his or her cause by agreeing to the conservatives' demands, in part a response to the huge deficit expansion created by the spending deal and December's Republican tax overhaul package.

A federal judge who'd ruled health care reform was unconstitutional and that his decision as a federal judge was the equivalent of an injunction has relented. Health care reform can continue in the states, pending appellate and Supreme Court review.
"The sooner this issue is finally decided by the Supreme Court, the better off the entire nation will be," wrote federal judge Roger E. Vinson, who'd decided that the health care reform act's mandate that people buy insurance or face penalties overextended Congress' powers under the commerce clause of the constitution.
One reason for granting a stay, despite his previous clear intent that health care reform cease, includes his statement (on page 18) that:
"Can (or should) I enjoin and halt implementation of the Act in a state where one of its federal courts has held it to be Constitutional? In addition, many of the plaintiff states have publicly represented that they will immediately halt implementation of the Act in light of my declaratory judgment, while at least eight plaintiff states (as identified by the defendants in their motion and reply) have suggested that, in an abundance of caution, they will not stop implementing the Act pending appeal. In addition to these apparent disagreements among the plaintiff states, there is even disagreement within the plaintiff states as to whether the implementation should continue pending appeal. For example, while the plaintiffs (a group that includes the Attorney General of Washington) have requested that I enjoin the defendants from implementing the Act, the Governor of Washington has just filed an amicus brief specifically opposing that request."
The decision gives the Obama administration seven days to file an appeal against his decision, which a U.S. Department of Justice spokesperson said the administration intends to do.
The entire issue was a bit of game-playing by the different branches of government, explains ABC News. The judge's decision made his intent perfectly clear, yet the administration asked for clarification. The judge's latest decision called out the administration on its request, yet he issued a stay on his own order. Why? Because had the judge stuck to his guns, the administration could have gone to the appellate level and likely received the stay anyway.
It's not just a federal judge who finds the mandate unappealing. A new poll reveals that half of all Americans oppose an individual mandate. Confusingly, however, many people support the rationale behind it.
Only 22 percent support the individual mandate, reported a poll by Harris Interactive/HealthDay poll released March 1. But 71% said they agreed with the statement, "[F]or health insurance to work, it is necessary to include people who are healthy in order to help pay for those who are sick."
And, 56% of Americans agree that if everyone is required to have health insurance, including healthy people, it will make the average cost of insurance less expensive. Another point is that 51% agreed with the idea that requiring insurance companies to provide health insurance to people with preexisting conditions will not work unless everyone is required to have insurance.
It's the constitutionality of it all that gets respondents stuck. Half said the individual mandate was unconstitutional, 20% percent thought it was, and 30% weren't sure. Most felt that the Supreme Court would decide on the issue, but in a politically partisan way.
The poll included 3,419 adults who were surveyed online in February.

Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra issued a new executive order that, among other provisions, requires face coverings be worn in public. The new order closely models what several other Central Texas counties are implementing.
Effective Monday, June 22, Judge Becerra's new Order will accomplish three things:
Face coverings do not need to be worn in the following circumstances:
Please note: Face coverings are not a replacement for social distancing, frequent handwashing, and self-isolation when sick. All people should follow Centers for Disease Control recommendations for how to wear and take off a mask. Residents should employ the following habits while in public:
Consistent with Executive Order GA-26 issued by Governor Greg Abbott, no civil or criminal penalty will be imposed on individuals for failure to wear a face covering.
This Order expires July 20, 2020.
The San Marcos Public Library has canceled all programs, classes and events. All items currently checked out have been given a due date of June 1, 2020, so no fines will accrue.
Services the Library will provide:
1. Phone Service & Email: Beginning Wednesday, March 18, Library staff will answer emails and provide telephone reference from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. During these hours, patrons may request information including census and workforce assistance. Library staff will fill out resumes and job applications and email items to the patron. If email is not an option, the library will snail mail or arrange curbside pickup of the items. During this time, all printed items will be provided at no charge to the customer. Please call 512.393.8200 or email email@example.com for assistance.
2. Front Porch Pickup: This service will begin on Monday, March 23 and will be available from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Patrons must place materials on hold online at http://www.hank.ci.san-marcos.tx.us:8080/#section=home or via telephone 512.393.8200 or firstname.lastname@example.com prior to arrival and wait until they receive notification (via phone or email) that the items are available. When people arrive, they will call the library and we will verify identify, record on the curbside form, check out materials, and place on the table on the front porch.
3. People wanting to return items will need to walk them up to the outside book drops. Items returned through the book drop will be handled by staff wearing gloves and placed on a cart and wheeled to the learning center. Items will be quarantined by date then checked in and reshelved after 72 hours.
Best practices and helpful information is currently available on the City of San Marcos website at www.sanmarcostx.gov/covid19info and on the CDC website www.cdc.gov. This is a dedicated call center established by the Austin Public Health Department to answer non-life threatening questions for residents of Hays, Travis, Williamson, and Bastrop Counties.
Police officers have no legal requirement to request documentation from any individual about why they are traveling.
The City of San Marcos has canceled most community and public events, including Boards and Commission meetings, except for City Council Meetings, Planning and Zoning Commission meetings, and Historic Preservation Committee meetings. Future agendas for these meetings will be evaluated to determine if the meeting can be canceled. The public is able to watch the live stream of the meetings at www.sanmarcostx.gov/videos or on the Government channel on Grande channel 16 and Spectrum channel 10.
Many health care providers are equipped to administer the test.
However, there are a couple of critical things that people need to know.
1. First, the CDC and DSHS are not recommending that asymptomatic people seek testing.
2. Second, if a person believes they are infected, they should first call their health care provider for further guidance on seeking testing. If the person meets the criteria for testing, the provider will provide guidance on where to get tested and an order for the test.
There is currently not a public option for this, so members of the community are asked to utilize their social networks and help one another out in times of need. Good examples are churches, neighborhood groups, family and friends.
Under the current "Stay at Home, Stay Safe" order, daycare providers are allowed to remain open, but are limited to 10 children per room.
We should not need public space like this for mass testing. If we get to a point where widespread community transmission is occurring, we will evaluate all testing and treatment options as recommended by the CDC in cooperation with our local health care professionals and facilities. Regarding day care, members of the community are asked to utilize their social networks and help one another out in times of need.
We remain very hopeful that widespread community transmission of the disease will not affect our area. If that does happen, the City will collaborate with our local hospitals to provide the most effective processes for testing, quarantine, and treatment. Central Texas Medical Center is currently making arrangements for a temporary external structure for this purpose.
The answer to the question is not yet completely clear. Governor Abbott and the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) have asked health insurers and health maintenance organizations operating in Texas to waive costs associated with the testing and telemedicine visits for the diagnosis of coronavirus (COVID-19). Additionally, TDI is requesting that insurers report their actions related to consumer cost-sharing and access to services so that the department can ensure consumers are aware of their available benefits. Complete information may be found at https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-tdi-ask-health-insurance-providers-to-waive-costs-associated-with-coronavirus
• For Private Lab Testing - Cost depends on the lab.
• Can someone with no health insurance get tested for COVID-19? Yes, people with no health insurance have the option of getting tested at a public health lab or at a private lab.
You should call your health care provider or the local health department if you are experiencing fever above 100.4 along with cough, chest congestion, or shortness of breath. You will be asked a series of questions to determine whether you meet certain testing criteria before you can be tested.
Testing criteria includes having fever, cough, shortness of breath PLUS:
- having had close contact with a confirmed case,
- having traveled to a location with ongoing transmission of COVID-19,
- having risk factors for getting very sick from COVID-19, or
- being hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms even if you do not have any risk factors.
No travel restrictions have been implemented at the airport. However, the travel restrictions in place nationwide do apply to people traveling to and from our airport. We will provide ongoing updates.
Evictions are civil matters between landlord and tenant and are presided over by our local Justices of the Peace.
General information for tenants, including info on Justice of the Peace Courts placing all evictions on hold until after May 8th and how to work out accommodations with your landlord can be found here: http://www.sanmarcostx.gov/701/Neighborhood-Enhancement.
Lease-tenant resources: http://sanmarcostx.gov/2954/Documents-and-Resources.
On Tuesday, April 7, the San Marcos City Council passed an ordinance requiring a landlord to provide a Notice of Proposed Eviction prior to issuing an actual Notice to Vacate. The San Marcos ordinance gives tenants a 90-day period to cure any delinquency as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Read more about the ordinance here.
The best resource is still the CDC's site and the several pages they have created specifically to answer questions for various segments of our communities about the COVID-19 situation: www.cdc.gov. We also have helpful info on the city's website at www.sanmarcostx.gov/covid19info and at www.HaysInformed.com.
The WSRCA team is committed to meeting the needs of job seekers and employers in our nine-county region as a result of COVID-19, and want to ensure that the health and safety of our customers and staff are taken into consideration in these difficult times. Although the career centers currently remain open, there are several options you may choose to receive services: in person at our locations, by visiting our website at www.workforcesolutionsrca.com, logging in to www.workintexas.com, or via phone at 512.244.2207, or toll free at 1.866.518.0576.
San Marcos Area Chamber of Commerce is Seeking your Feedback. Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey to help us better understand how COVID-19 is impacting you: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XTDRC65

Produces nice chords, as expected, seems to work with modern stuff, too - A442 is close to modern concert pitch, currently in use by about half of all tunable instruments, as the modern concert pitch. ?.

HealthTap chosen for comprehensive digital primary care, including text and video visits and searchable content written by physicians
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Jan. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthTap, a leading virtual primary care provider, today announced a collaboration with Cerner Corporation (Nasdaq: CERN), a global health care technology company, to further extend health care experiences beyond on-site and near-site health and pharmacy centers. By combining digital technology with high-quality in-person care, employers can provide their employees with access to care anytime, anywhere through HealthTap's digital primary care physician network. The result of these collective capabilities is designed to help employers lessen expensive urgent care and ER visits.
As consumers increasingly turn to digital platforms from retail to banking, they expect similar conveniences and ease of access to health care. At the same time, health care costs are rising, driving the industry to seek more efficient ways to treat patients and keep people healthy. Digital care options can provide the opportunity to help consumers get convenient, cost-effective health care at the time they need it.

Bringing together Cerner's expertise in workforce health services with HealthTap's digital platform will support self-funded employers to offer end-to-end primary care services to their workforces, regardless of proximity to on-site and near-site health centers.
Cerner clients using HealthTap can offer their employees the ability to connect with a U.S.-based, board-certified physician 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on-demand. Additionally, through an AI-powered symptom checker, users can search physician-written answers to questions, post their own questions and receive personalized care guidance using HealthTap. Working with companies like HealthTap, Cerner is further expanding its portfolio and continuing to focus on meeting demands for affordable, flexible health care solutions.

Back in 2016, we were raving about Nimmo, just as much as everyone else. The band's exceptional sound managed to combine the thrills of city life with an almost melancholic charm that always kept them grounded. But in the last few years, the band has moved through many shifts that have completely transformed the direction and aesthetic of the group. After releasing a string of brilliant singles through major label Sony Music as a five-piece, now only two original members remain and their time on the label is now at an end. But not ones to leave anything unfinished, the two remaining members, Sarah Nimmo and Reva Gauntlett, return to deliver their long-awaited debut album 'The Power', a smooth and dark return for the duo.
Taking influence from the formative trip-hop and alt-pop sounds, 'The Power' instantly has this feeling of longing behind it. Rather than unleash a flurry of high-energy cuts as we might have expected, this new collection manages to blend and merge a diverse range of different inspirations all together, delivering a eclectic and exciting debut release. Essentially this is their rebranding record. Rather than rely on anything they produced at the start of their career, Nimmo have rebuilt themselves as an independent outfit looking to make the kind of music they want to hear, something that screams adventurous and risk-filled.
As a result, 'The Power' makes for a very enjoyable and cohesive listen, despite its multifaceted approach. With a sometimes euphoric pop direction that still has that rough-around-the-edges charm, their long-awaited debut LP has been well worth the wait, and more importantly, feels like something the pair were unstoppable in conceiving.

After having collected the data for the activity near the river Thames regarding the social media and the transportation with the boats we put together a comprehensive visualization in 3D. The groundwork for this was a model of the region of London that was our case study in the collection of data.
Building a detailed 3D model of London is a challenging task as it requires access to data and computing power resources. We used the data provided by the Ordnance Survey after applying for a student access. In order to make sense out of the dataset and work with the provided data we used Esri City Engine (which turned out to be the most feasible solution compared to other GIS software or the combination of Rhino and Grasshopper).The rest of the visualisation was created in Maya, where we used Python in order to animate the data that we had collected.
The scene resembles a night scene in the city of London. The boats, tweets and instagram uploads are represented as glowing balls that throw light in the rest of the city. Their size was decided based on the threshold of the illumination that they should have. They work as sources of light that by illuminating the scene provide a hint on where the activity is spotted in the city. The path of the camera was designed in order to follow the activity and provide multiple view-ports. This idea of the multiple viewpoints was the first step towards the completion of the Active Thames project that was realised with the augmented reality application "Liquid Thames".

As I drive down the road,
The lights jump out at me.
Reds, blues, oranges, and greens,
All shining so bright.
Some may twinkle, some stand still,
But they all bring Christmas into the night.
Their glow is heavenly to watch,
Flooding you with warm, happy thoughts.
Oh how I love seeing all the lights light up,
When the sunsets and people flip on that switch,
They come back alive into the night.

Experiencing Asia-Pacific Culture-2018 Asia-Pacific Culture Day

"Eko eado!" This motivational expression from the Nauruan language means "never give up." It may be used as a warning in calamitous situations, or in a positive sense as an expectation of oneself. Asia-Pacific Culture Day, held on October 27 and 28 of 2018 in the concourse of Taipei Railway Station, was organized by the ROC Ministry of Foreign Affairs in coordination with 18 foreign embassies and representative offices in Taiwan, and the local governments of seven Taiwanese cities and counties that have sister city or friendship agreements with localities in the partner countries of Taiwan's New Southbound Policy. With a theme of "Together Sparkling in Asia-Pacific," the event attracted over 100,000 visitors in two days.
After learning some words of Nauruan at the Asia–Pacific Culture Day, visitors received a specially made bilingual sticker.
The opening performance at Asia-Pacific Culture Day was a uniquely Taiwanese dance work by T.S.D. Dance Crew, which set an energetic tone for the event. It was followed by the traditional Te Mwaie dance of the Republic of Kiribati; Barong dance from Bali, Indonesia, as well as the Indonesian Penabalan (Tabal) dance; a performance on traditional instruments by Korea's Hanayeon musical group; and two types of dance performed by the Tuvalu Students Association in Taiwan—the fatele and the siva. The performances were very exciting, attracting people to crowd around the stage, and allowing them to feast their eyes on the art and culture of numerous countries in only two days.
The gorgeous clothing worn by dancers from Indonesia, who performed the Balinese Barong as well as the Penabalan (Tabal) dance, made for a powerful visual experience.
In the Te Mwaie traditional dance of Kiribati, dancers extend their arms outward like birds spreading their wings.
One of the ways that the hospitable people of Kiribati welcome guests from afar is to place handmade shell necklaces around their necks.

Although Nauru, a diplomatic partner of Taiwan in the South Pacific, did not put on a performance, they did set up a "parroting" language game at the venue. People received on-the-spot instruction, and if they could correctly pronounce commonly used terms like tarawong ("goodbye"), tubwa kor ("thank you"), and nga ebonw ("I love you"), they would receive a bilingual sticker to commemorate the event. The pronunciation of Nauruan is different from that of the Taiwanese and Mandarin normally spoken in Taiwan, so people had to practice numerous times to produce the correct sounds. The instruction provided by the young teachers was earnest and kind, and they never got impatient or frustrated.
Papua New Guinea provided one of the most dazzling highlights of this year's culture day. Using the painted-on designs of the Mt. Hagen Cultural Show as the theme, more than ten Papua New Guinean students studying in Taiwan, as well as officials stationed in Taiwan and their families—adults and infants alike—all painted their faces with colorful greasepaint. The contrast with their dark skin brought out the brilliance of the colors, arousing people's curiosity to approach for an up-close look.
Several Asia-Pacific countries including Kiribati, Tuvalu, and Papua New Guinea displayed natural tropical products such as coffee, seashells, and coconut as their "special local products." All of them displayed handicrafts made from shells or woven from grass, such as necklaces, baskets, and rugs.

Two tracks: Culture and business
Besides Taiwan's diplomatic partners in the South Pacific, Southeast-Asian countries also provided many highlights on Asia-Pacific Culture Day. The Taiwan office of the Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE Taipei), the official Malaysian organization for trade promotion in Taiwan, each year has invited authentic Malaysian restaurants in Taiwan to act as gustatory ambassadors, giving visitors memories of the flavors of Malaysia.
The Indian booth, surrounded by visitors, gave out travel maps of India, and also sold well-known Indian brands of cosmetics products. They also invited two Indian scientists doing postdoctoral research in Taiwan, Ravinder Singh and Samir Mehndiratte, to act as ambassadors for their culture by demonstrating how to wind turbans in accordance with Sikh religious traditions. People gathered round to watch as turn by turn, Ravinder Singh steadily and methodically wound a strip of cotton cloth more than ten meters long around the head of a visitor, to create a firm conical turban. It was a real eye-opener for those looking on.
Mehndi, a form of body art practiced in India and elsewhere, uses natural henna coloring to draw patterns on the hands and other parts of the body. The motifs often have a deeply mystical air and are very popular with women.
Taiwan cities also shine
For the past few years the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) has also invited several cities with close ties to Asia-Pacific countries, such as New Taipei City, Tainan, and Taoyuan, to join in the cultural exchanges of Asia-Pacific Culture Day. MOFA has invited these cities, which have sister city or friendship agreements with cities in partner countries for Taiwan's New Southbound Policy, to set up booths at the event to let more people appreciate Taiwan's cultural power.
Vice President Chen Chien-jen, accompanied by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Hsu Szu-chien and members of the foreign diplomatic corps in Taipei, visited the booths of participating countries. The photo shows a musical performance from the Philippines.
There is a passage in the book Our Struggle by the Indonesian writer Yohanes Arif Wibowo that reads: "Let us continually be aware of and remember our hopes and goals wherever we are, from Brunei to Taiwan / In order to achieve our myriad dreams / It is certainly very arduous / But everything must start from here." This quotation comes from a collection of bookmarks, compiled by the Taipei City Foreign and Disabled Labor Office, featuring selections drawn from works that have won the Taiwan Literature Award for Migrants over the years. The bookmarks were available free of charge at the booth of the Taipei City Government, adding a rich literary tone to Asia-Pacific Culture Day.
The theme adopted by the New Taipei City Cultural Affairs Department was even more unique. They used the slogan "mobile museums" to attract families to their booth next to the main stage. Activities on the first day were led by the Shihsanhang Museum of Archeology. They allowed children to reassemble broken pottery to get a feel for cultural restoration work, and even adults joined in the fun. The second day it was the turn of the Yingge Ceramics Museum, which entertained children enormously with its specially made mosaic puzzles.
Tainan, which greatly values exchanges with other cities, appeared at Asia-Pacific Culture Day for the third year running. Each year it has taken an important historic building in Tainan as its theme, from the Chikan Tower in 2016 and the Hayashi Department Store in 2017 to the Anping Tree House in 2018 (with a model of the house as installation art). The city's booth introduced Tainan's history, culture, and major tourist attractions in several languages including English and Japanese. There was also an activity on both afternoons in which people could get prizes for correctly answering questions about special features of Tainan. They could win such things as Cheng Gong potato chips, Tainan-themed wangzaibiao (round printed cards similar to those used in the milk caps game), and pencil cases in the shape of milkfish. There was great excitement at the scene, attracting not only large numbers of foreign tourists, but many Taiwanese as well.
Cultural outreach
In the last 15 years, besides economic and trade interactions, Taiwan has been gradually expanding cultural exchanges with Asia-Pacific countries. For example, since its founding the National Center for Traditional Culture, located in Yilan County, has held the Asia-Pacific Traditional Arts Festival annually. The area covered by this cultural exchange event has expanded from the Asia-Pacific region to include Northeast Asia, North Asia, and, in 2018, the international community as a whole.
But while the Asia-Pacific Traditional Arts Festival brings in artists and performers from outside Taiwan, MOFA's Asia-Pacific Culture Day draws on the talents of people already located here. Held in late summer or early autumn every year since 2012, it is seen as a major event by foreign embassies and representative offices in Taiwan. It mobilizes officials posted to Taiwan, their families, and overseas students studying in Taiwan, to sing or dance on stage or to set up booths selling authentic cuisine from back home, handicrafts and local specialties. These activities give visitors a chance to experience the rich cultures of Asia-Pacific countries using all of the five senses, including vision, hearing, and taste. Cultural exchange is by no means a one-way process of exporting culture outward, nor is it passive acceptance of outside cultural information. Rather, interaction provided by in-the-moment participation in activities is an even better way for people to experience the splendor and richness of Asia-Pacific cultures.

International NASH Day Draws Attention to Severe Liver Disease
(NewsUSA) - An advanced form of liver disease known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) affects more than 115 million people worldwide and is expected to double by 2030. If left untreated, NASH may result in serious outcomes, including cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver transplant, or death.
NASH is the advanced form of a chronic, progressive fatty liver disease called NAFLD (nonalcoholic fatty liver disease). NASH and NAFLD occur when fat accumulates in liver cells and causes cell inflammation and injury. Symptoms of NASH can be difficult to recognize and many people are unaware that they have the condition until it has progressed. NASH is the second leading cause of liver transplant in the US, and is predicted to become the leading cause. However, the early screening by a healthcare provider and the adoption of lifestyle changes can slow disease progression and may even reverse the condition if it is identified in early stages.
To raise awareness of NASH and NAFLD, the Global Liver Institute, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for greater awareness of liver health issues, hosts International NASH Day on June 12, convening more than 80 partners from around the world to draw attention to the most pressing topics in the fight against NASH.
This year the event is endorsed by the major hepatology organizations in both the United States and Europe: the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the European Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.
"International NASH Day unites and inspires a collective call to action, which is never more urgent than in 2020 when we are set to yield the harvest of years of diligence and investment in drug and diagnostic technology development and momentum in awareness and policy," says Donna R. Cryer, JD, founder and CEO of the Global Liver Institute. "We must make the most of this moment together."
Millions of people worldwide are at risk for the potentially fatal liver disease of NAFLD and its more severe form, NASH, which is expected to double by 2030. NASH is a major risk factor for many other health conditions. People living with NASH usually have one or more metabolic disorders (such as obesity, type II diabetes, or cardiovascular disease). Thirty-seven percent of people with obesity have NASH. Similarly, 37% of people with type 2 diabetes also have NASH. Under- identified and untreated, NASH may result in serious outcomes including cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver transplant, or death. Now more than ever, the COVID-19 pandemic adds additional risks for those with NASH.
This year's event includes virtual panels featuring 30 experts from around the world who will describe current challenges and collaborate on innovative cross-disciplinary solutions to prevent, identify, treat, and improve the lives of people living with NASH. The virtual panels are scheduled for 7 am-4:15 pm EDT on June 12. The event will also be posted on June 16 @gliliver, and on June 17 on GLI'S YouTube channel.
Topics include NASH as a global health crisis, as well as NASH in special populations, such as children and cancer patients. In addition, medical experts emphasize how factors that increase the risk of NASH, namely obesity, type II diabetes, and high blood pressure, also increase the risk of serious illness for individuals infected with the COVID-19 virus.
