Always take a good book to read.
Actually, I originally thought this recommendation was going to be the continuation of a running joke from previous holidays. I always think :- 'Mmmm, if I have a whole week of nothing planned, I could catch up on my Oracle reading list'. I pack several books, most of which are not about Oracle but there is always at least one. Once I'm on holiday, I sometimes devour one or two of the non-Oracle books (but never all of them) and barely touch anything Oracle-related.
One of this year's running jokes was to say regularly 'Perhaps I should read my indexing book', so I had planned a 'stunt shot' of me reading the book. Then something strange happened. I got a little bored on Thursday, picked it up and then couldn't put it down! I've only read about a quarter of it, so now isn't the time for a detailed review, but I'm really enjoying this one and found myself making little notes constantly for a future review. This is my kind of book. On that basis, thanks to Thomas P. for pointing me in it's direction and Marco for putting a pre-holiday reminder in my head.
P.S. I couldn't resist including one of the many Pineapple Trees on our little private island

The idea is to make organic food and products more affordable so that everyone benefits, and that it becomes accessible to more people.

Marjorie Liggett, a College of the Holy Cross senior majoring in biology and anthropology, can be said to be among the most socially conscious young adults in the country.
This is in no small measure because of her Holy Cross educational experience, which promotes service to others as a path to self-discovery and educational excellence. Ms. Liggett, for example, is an intern in the college�s Student Programs for Urban Development, a community service organization with 46 outreach programs and about 700 members.
But despite being involved in various social justice initiatives, Ms. Liggett was overwhelmed by a documentary on hunger in America called �A Place at the Table.�
The documentary, which has drawn the interest of a number of congressional lawmakers and is available on demand, was screened with the sponsorship of SPUD at Holy Cross Tuesday night.
�I have always known hunger was a big issue, but after hearing the statistics in the film, I realize that it was even bigger than I had anticipated,� Ms. Liggett said after the screening.
Those statistics include as many as 50 million Americans relying on charitable food programs and one out of every two kids in the United States at some point on food assistance.
Directed by Kristi Jacobson and Lori Silverbush, the film documents the impact of food shortage in the lives of three individuals � a single Philadelphia mother who grew up in poverty, a Colorado fifth-grader who often has to depend on friends and neighbors for food, and a Mississippi second-grader whose asthma and health issues are exacerbated by her sparse and poor diet.
More succinctly, Raj Patel, author of �Stuffed and Starved� and one of the experts providing commentary in the film, noted that �the reason people are going hungry is not because of a shortage of food, it is because of poverty.�
This point was echoed by Ms. Jacobson, who was at the film�s showing at Holy Cross.
She noted, for example, that obesity is linked to poverty, or as one of the film�s experts noted: �If you have a limited amount of money, you are going to spend it on the cheapest calories you can get and that is processed food.�
�Many people are aware of the obesity epidemic, but are unaware of the inextricable link between hunger and obesity, that many people who are obese are in fact malnourished,� Ms. Jacobson said.
Congressman Jim McGovern, who is also featured in the film, said he hopes it reinvigorates the country�s commitment to end hunger and poverty just as the 1968 CBS documentary, �Hunger in America,� opened the eyes of Americans to the impoverished status of millions of their countrymen and pushed the country to find solutions.
As a result of that documentary, he said, �we almost ended hunger in the 1970s.
�We came close to doing so, but we have backtracked. We are about to debate a farm bill in which Republicans are telling us they want to cut SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) by $20 billion.
�I don�t think people understand that words like �sequester� and �fiscal cliff� are about cutting programs for poor people. As we speak now, because of the sequester, food banks are shutting down across the country.
�Hunger is a political condition. We have the food. We have the infrastructure, and everything we need to end it. My hope is that when people see this film they will say to their elected leaders that we want you to solve the problem, not to make it worse.�
My guess, as exemplified by Ms. Liggett and many others like her, is the American people get it. The problem continues to be those congressional lawmakers, whether it is on gun control or help for the poor, who continue to place themselves above the will of the people.

February 2018 Stressful life events are associated with reductions in a person's chances of becoming or remaining abstinent from drugs for at least 3 years.
January 2014 Ketoprofen, an anti-inflammatory agent commonly prescribed to treat arthritis, reduces neuronal damage in rats that have been exposed to chronic stress and methamphetamine. If this finding of a recent NIDA-supported study extrapolates to humans, anti-inflammatory medications may gain a place in the treatment of methamphetamine addiction.
February 2013
Several factors contribute to treatment professionals' stress and burnout, including how much influence they feel they have in their organization and their caseload. Surprisingly, a NIDA-supported study found that the link between staff stress and burnout was weaker in programs with higher patient caseloads than those with lower caseloads. In addition, program administrators can help counselors reduce their stress by giving them a voice in organizational policies and procedures.
April 2012 Substance abuse counselors and clinical supervisors disclosed high job turnover rates in a survey of 27 treatment organizations.
July 2011 Summarizes a study to determine whether a stress-related biological marker in saliva can predict how long a drug user will remain in treatment.
July 2011 Reports on a new medication strategy under investigated in animal studies that shows promise for preventing relapse to drug abuse.

November 2009 Highlights the need for research to assess and find solutions to a potential rise in substance abuse among service men and women, veterans, and their families.
December 2008 Highlights results from a pilot study suggesting that lofexidine, an anti-hypertensive medication, can enhance success rates among patients taking maintenance naltrexone to avoid opioid relapse.
February 2007 Summarizes a study that analyzes factors associated with the risk of drug addiction among 19- to 21-year-old Hispanic women born in the United States as compared with immigrants.

The Chicago-Kent Intellectual Property program, under the direction of Professor Mickie Voges Piatt, has presented two successful programs this Winter. On 16 February, more than 200 people attended a public program on the move by the United States Patent and Trademark office to e-commerce. After plenary sessions in the auditorium, corporate and law firm attendees attended breakout sessions to discuss the effects on their organizations of electronic filing of trademark applications. On 1 March Chicago-Kent hosted a program at Rice Campus at which Professor Tim Holbrook analyzed the effects of the Festo case on the Doctrine of Equivalents. The presentation was followed by a lively debate among the participants. More than 40 people attended, and encouraged the Law School to do more programs in the West Suburbs on current IP issues. In late October, the Law School will host a symposium on international IP issues. Professor Dinwoodie is the organizer.

The Obama administration intensified its defense of the president's strategy against Islamic State militants Sunday, with Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter making a vigorous case that the terrorist group can only be defeated if the Iraqis "develop the will to fight."
In the wake of Islamic State victories in the Iraqi city of Ramadi and in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra last week, Carter fended off suggestions that it's time to position U.S. ground troops and troop air controllers near the trouble spots in an effort to contain the Islamic State.
Local officials and fighters must take responsibility, he said.
"They are the ones that have to beat ISIL and keep them...

LOS ANGELES — Much of Southern California is under a red-flag alert for high winds and hot, dry weather conditions that have dangerously raised the threat of wildfire.
The National Weather Service issued the alert Friday morning for much of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, as well as other areas. Winds in some high-desert areas and mountain passes had reached 30 to 40 miles per hour by early morning.
Forecasters say the conditions, including temperatures in the 90s, are expected to persist into Sunday.
The city of Pasadena announced Thursday night it is putting parking restrictions into effect for narrow and winding roads leading into and out of the San Gabriel Mountains that abut the city.
The restrictions make it easier for emergency vehicles to respond to a fire.
