Henry Waxman is a household name in pharmaceutical circles — during his three decades on Capitol Hill, he helped write the Affordable Care Act and expand Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. He sponsored the 1984 Hatch-Waxman Act, which set up the modern infrastructure for bringing generic drugs to market, and chaired the Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over health-related issues, from 2009 to 2011.
Since his retirement from Congress in 2015, Waxman has served as chairman of Waxman Strategies, a lobbying firm that has been active on health issues, especially the 340B drug discount program.
STAT recently sat down with Waxman to hear his thoughts on the current political landscape around drug pricing, and what his prescription is for change.
This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.
You've been working on drug pricing issues for at least three decades. What's different now?
In the 1980s, we tried to achieve a balance by giving incentives for pharmaceutical manufacturers to invest in developing new breakthrough medicines and rewarding them for that by extending their patent period and providing exclusivities — particularly in the case of orphan drugs — and then balance that out with the competition at the end of that period so we could get lower price. As a result of the Hatch-Waxman Act, the generic drug industry became a viable player.
That balance is out of kilter right now, and I think we've got to try to restore it.
In Washington, who do you think is running the show?
I think there's a strong interest by the public and by members of the House and the Senate to do something about high drug prices. Even President Trump has made this a high priority and said he wants to do more to hold down those prices and to protect people from having to forgo the use of drugs that may be lifesaving to them because they are unaffordable. So I think we have a unique time now when there's more pressure and more concern on policymakers to do something.
But it's not easy to move forward because there's no easy answer to the problem. Some people say we've got to have price controls, and I don't think there's support for price controls, but what I would hope they try to do is to restore that balance.
For example, there's a proposal that's been around for a number of years called the CREATES Act, that simply allows for competition by allowing the generic manufacturer to know what was in the original drug so they can compete. [Editor's note: The CREATES Act would empower companies that want to develop generic drugs to sue brand companies if the brand companies don't provide samples of the brand drugs for research.]
So why has it taken so long to get CREATES passed?
I think there are some misunderstandings about it. And, of course, PhRMA is opposing it, and they're very powerful. A lot of members haven't paid attention to it, to this issue itself. So there have been attempts to attach it to other bills like the budget act.
What do you think of what Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar have done about drug pricing so far?
I don't think that I can come to a conclusion at this point. I think that the fact I would want to emphasize is that they need to work on this issue, to focus on it, and to work with all the stakeholders to try and figure out what can be done.
The midterm elections are coming up. And we're soon going to see a new Democratic presidential candidate, or a handful of candidates. What drug pricing proposals do you think they'll get behind?
I think the key thing politically is not to wait for one party or the other to have control, but to recognize that this is an issue where Democrats and Republicans ought to put partisanship aside and work on the issue.
President Trump said that drug companies are 'getting away with murder' in January of last year. He suggested some small drug pricing reforms in his recent budget proposal, but no big reforms. What's the holdup?
There have been a lot of things going on this past year, and I don't think it's too late for this year to take some of these actions to lay the groundwork for further addressing the problem of high prices of drugs after the election. It doesn't make any difference whether Democrats or Republicans win the House or the Senate; it's a question of getting Democrats and Republicans to figure out where they can act and I'm hopeful they'll do some important things this year.
What do you think about the rhetoric from the president that it's unfair for our drug prices to be so high and other countries' to be so low — that the research and development here is subsidizing drug prices abroad? Do you think that's accurate?
I think other countries have gotten a better deal on the prices they pay for drugs. And the U.S. should get a better deal as well. I don't think we should say they ought to pay more elsewhere for us to benefit because we don't benefit if they pay more.
What do you think about Rep. Greg Walden's (R-Ore.) tenure as chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee?
I think the Energy and Commerce Committee has been pretty quiet on the issue of drug pricing.
What keeps you up at night regarding drug pricing?
I worry that if we produce more miracles that can save peoples lives, that it just won't be affordable and people will go without. I think we would be derelict in our responsibilities in this country if that happens, and I think it's happening, and it's going to get worse if we don't take action.
There have been proposals to do things like create a mortgage system to pay for drugs, or to only pay for drugs if they work. What do you think of these new payment models?
I think they ought to be on the table. People ought to look at them. There are suggestions, many from the Trump administration, that are good suggestions, in the budget proposal, that will hold down what people pay for drugs, but they don't hold down the prices. But those are good things, too.
So do you think it's a good idea to allow companies to continue to have high base prices, and then create these systems to bring down the actual cost to the patient? Or, in 10 years, will we be where we are now, where people have figured out how to circumvent those systems?
I've been amazed over the decades how creative some of the people in the industry have been to hold onto their ability to charge high prices. And it may make sense for their economic well-being, but I don't think it's doing anything for those who need those drugs.
And short of price controls, what sort of bigger solutions can we implement to prevent that creativity from harming consumers?
I think the only way we can get a bipartisan consensus … is to look to see where we can develop a consensus and tackle the issue bit by bit, not look for a magic solution, because there is none that I can think of that would make sense and that could pass.

<----insert realization here---> ok, so, this is really long. I thought of my cousin. She had once said that when I write her e-mails I should itemize em so she could read what she was interested and know where it was. Kind did that - put each thing as an LJ -cut. Hopefully it helps a bit. </-----insert>
OK, so yesterday was a very enjoyable day, though I think I am a bit sick today due to the gigantinamours amount of sugar I had between yesterday and Friday (I'm a sugar fiend what can I say?) and lacking of real food with substance.
- (not sure if I had one or two) crepe filled with banana custard style yogurt, strawberries, a little cinnamon, and topped with whipped cream
- warm vanilla soy milk with crepe thrown in and cinnamon and whipped cream on top
- 2 cupcakes
- a slice of chocolate cake
- some ice cream
- a "yo Plait" whipped yogurt orange cream flavor
I think that was it plus a granola cereal that has a ton more sugar than my normal cereal mix.
eep got distracted
soo much for straight uninterrupted progress
anyhow, so after pulling an all nighter Thursday night plus lots of sugar and a looong weekend I was a bit under the weather today and ready to go to sleep real soon. Which lead to just realizing my kitties are incredibly stubborn and I need to be even MORE creative (they are giving me a run for my brain power).
Saturday began with some friends sons birthday party which I thoroughly enjoyed! Everything from the grown ups, to the sugar, to introducing a newbie to an addictive game (*smirk* - minesweeper for those curious), to the kids. I got to be a kid "12 yrs old" apparently was the age designated for me - though for other reasons than how I was acting.
I loved being able to tickle one little girl in particular, or at some points "not" tickling her (you know, "I'm not going to touch you" and you don't, but the closer you get they scream giggly screams anyhow). So it was a wonderfully enjoyable party with great people - even the adults (teasing).
This was followed by a nice drive home (except the scary buses of which there were way too many lined up and not letting people into the lane - just because you are big does not give you the right to be rude and not play by the rules). I think I will always miss driving until I move to somewhere I can actually have a car and not have to pay almost another rent. It also gave me time to think and reflect on some stuff - which I came to a conclusion* today about.
When back in the city I got dropped off with lysabethnyc and another very nice woman namde Linda. We attempted to watch some fliming of the new spiderman movie. I wasn't as interested in the star searching as being out on a Saturday with good company. Though I do have to say there was one kewl thing about Spiderman. They had all these clothes lines with clothes on them between two buildings, you don't see that anymore - you'll see what I'm talking about once Lisa get's her photos up --- which btw I now SO want to go to the botanical gardens after seeing her photos of them!
We had a yummy dinner with a very gay waiter who teased me the entire time. It all started with a glass of "water? Oh, you're one of those girls" LOL. And continued with my getting an appetizer for a meal. What can I say, I was still full from all the sugar an snacks.
I then proceeded home. I was incredibl antsy due to being home and not completely drained of energy on a Saturday - this has not happened since, well probably December. needless to say much energy was sitting there.
After some randomness and getting settled with what I needed to accomplish I got a phone call from pamlin with whom I proceeded to join along with avhi, who btw, I still don't know ANY of the stories behind ANY of your nicknames *cough* *cough*, and even though we did not stay for too long, it was nice to be out with two more good ladies :)
I also added more to my reflecting for which I came to a conclusion* today
Needless to say I came home and CRASHED.
Today, I finished some b-day presents (more similar to the presents for me mum and sister, except I tried something new with two of them. Maybe I'll take pictures if I have time tomorrow) and some random presents. Which, btw, does anyone else randomly do art but not have any room to put it? If so, I would like to start a list of "random art attacks" or something like that. Cause, I'm not sure about you, but I know I love love, love randomly getting stuff from people for no reason. It makes me feel wamr and fuzzy (and hopefully the people getting the stuff will feel the same and not be like " umm, yeah, what's this for?"). Eh, who knows. I don't actually have time to set something like that up, but, I'm throwing the idea out there, maybe someone else will pick it up and be more organized.
ACtually, Quick Random Q - does anyone know where to get really big graph paper? Not the translucent paper that is really fragile, regular thickness but the size is really big (GRAPH PAPER. I repeat GRAPH PAPER - just for those , who, umm, yeeeeah).
Today my mind went through every possible thing I want to, need to, could possibly, and will do now, today, and the near distant future. It needs an off switch sometimes.
Kitties better learn soon. I'm sick of staying inside :P
Ok, so I've been e-mailing with this good person. Part of me, even wiith all the e-mails back and forth, is still holding back and continously telling me it's not true and not possible so don't believe it, etc. And every time said person proves this voice wrong again (yay for warm fuzzy soul). So recently I was thinking about my insecurities with the situation, and just insecurities in general.
While making all the presents today (the art in a box things, I'm too lazy to link to that entry right now, plus I really really really want to be in bed already. Look back if you want, it's only like 3 or 4 entries back I think) I made an extra one for warm fuzzy soul. Between that and some of the things I talk about and suggestions I make in our conversations, I kept thinking " eep, I'm doing too much. I'm going to scare this person away."
Basically, I know that I don't like when someone is too eager about knowing me or knowing me in a certain way or ways and what is to say this person does not feel the same or that they feel this way about me currently or that they will if I send them something?
Well for one it seems to be a mutual feeling, but even that is not a guarantee. There is a balance currently but something can offshoot it. I've seen it happen.
The bigger thing, which came to me today - and I could very well be wrong, and it still may mean nothing, but . . . -- while making all these suggestions and while putting together his fairy box --
I'm not doing this for the purpose of him liking me better.
I'm not doing it for the purpose that I'm insecure he may not like me if I don't do something nice for him.
I'm not doing this for the fear that if I don't do something for him to remember me by, I will be forgotten and mean nothing.
I am doing this because I like doing and and figured he might enjoy having it.
My suggestions are because I enjoy doing these things and think he might as well and if he does, kewl it's a bonding thing. If not, well, kewl, it's a learning thing.
That's all I'll say right now because that's all I know - I was going to say b/c I don't want to jynx it, but realize there is no jynxing or not jynxing, there's just dealing with what you have or don't have, nothing more nothing less.
-write notes to go with presents and go to post office to send them
-make phone calls I was sposed to make Friday
-call about audition appointment (hopefully slots still open)
-work on song for audition Tuesday (I'm crazy if I think I'll actually get the part, but I need to start getting into sing audition mode eventually)
-I'm sure there's other stuff
-meet love eh lee melebeth for the ballet *yay*
-possibly see a band that a friend in Cali recommended if I'm not drained
Some future stuff I'm excited about
-work more on business stuff : mock ups, business plan* (bp), patterns (hence big Graph paper)
-visit home - work on bp with my dad and see family and friends, plus free laundry *sigh*
-voice lessons soon
-see a friends band
-a trip to Chicago
-a trip to see warm fuzzy soul
OK, enough, I can't think straight anymore
OK I am going to SLEEP b/c I have a long day tomorrow - if you were curious you looked at that LJ cut
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and has just as wonderful a week
off to dreamland

Let me start off by saying I {love} black and white photography. My favorite images are taken on film, that are converted to a deep, raw, matte black and white finish. That being said, it takes a lot for me to convert an image to black and white and for me to truly love it and feel it. To make a photograph black and white I need to feel raw emotion, it is not just an image of a person, it is the feeling I get when I scroll through the images.
This family was different. I have never done so many black and whites and loved them so much! I always have a couple of them, and that being said I haven't done a family session in quite some time since becoming a newborn specialist, but I was fulfilling a package and I'm so glad I got to see them again! I photographed Hudson at just a week old (AND 8 days…don't ask lol) and now I get to photograph him again. I love it!
Here are ONLY the B&W images from there session that I thought I would share with you. Would love to hear your feedback!

A quick glance at the religious, political and socioeconomic landscapes of the United States easily reveals steeply increasing divisions and polarizations. Is your state blue or red? Do you identify yourself as "right" or "left," Republican or Democrat? Are you earning more than $1,000,000 or less than $200,000? Do you value more or less government regulation in health, finance, environment, and security?
In American Christianity, the trend of dichotomies is equally prevalent. Are you pro-gay or anti-gay, pro-life or pro-choice, conservative or progressive? Do you view science through the lens of evolution or creation? Are you more inclined to watch "Life of Brian" or "The Passion of the Christ"? Do you long for a Christian nation or for the separation of church and state? And so on.
Myself, I've come to believe that the differences among American Christians can be boiled down to one fundamental theological difference -- about hell. Specifically, do you believe that hell is a matter of the afterlife, or do you believe that hell is a reality in the earthly life? (Some of us believe in both, yet one or the other consistently takes precedence in our outlook on life.)
Those who believe that hell is a place or state of being in the afterlife tend to prioritize the spiritual salvation of souls (meaning the escape from eternal damnation) -- for one's own soul first and foremost, as well as the souls of one's family, and then for the poor unfortunate souls of the world who need Jesus. The practical implication of an eternal hell is the earthly responsibility to manage and mandate life according to moral codes that ensure one's acceptance into heaven rather than hell.
Those who believe that hell is already a reality on earth tend to value and pursue the physical salvation (meaning the salving or relieving) of persons who are "going through hell" -- sympathetic first to those in similar situations of hell as oneself, and then developing an understanding of other hells by inference. The practical implication of an earthly hell is the conviction to prevent or resolve tangible hellish circumstances.
So for example: by those Christians who believe in an eternal hell, homosexuality is viewed as an immoral activity that threatens one's eternal situation -- but by those Christians who believe in an earthly hell, homosexuality is understood to be a distinct identity that has been targeted and tormented by the real-life hell of discrimination.
The belief in hell on earth (or not) is especially evident in the platforms of politicians who reference faith among their significant influences. The instantly infamous Todd Akin, for example, whose professional and spiritual development includes a Master of Divinity degree, asserted that the earthly hell of rape should not take priority over the eternal status of a fetus' soul. Likewise Paul Ryan appears not to believe in the experience of hell on earth, as his "Path to Prosperity" budget proposal would aggravate the vicious hell of poverty. But with his belief in eternal hell -- and presumably his own salvation -- well settled, Ryan's primary moral task per his faith is to responsibly manage life (hence his focus on the national debt).
To be fair, there are many who believe in hell on earth who prioritize the relief of their own circumstances rather than engaging anyone else's hell. There are many who affirm an eternal hell who believe that easing another's affliction will be salvific to that person's soul in the afterlife. This dichotomy over hell can blur the boundaries of other theological and political dichotomies.
More importantly, both perspectives on hell hold the potential for challenging us to engage others. The Christian who believes fundamentally in eternal hell is prompted to see and consider an "other" to be a real person who is to be genuinely valued -- not only for having a soul but also for having a life. The Christian who believes in hell on earth is compelled to understand the systemic intricacies of earth's hells, to look truthfully at another's wounds, and to contribute wholeheartedly to the lessening of hell on earth.
In any case, I find myself wishing that more people would believe in hell.

It's no secret that Sea of Thieves launched to some mixed reviews in early 2018. Although the foundations were undeniably strong, criticism largely cited the 'lack of content' or 'things to do' as the deciding factor for their review scores.
Since launching, Sea of Thieves has received a series of major content updates mixed in with regular activity additions and a slew of Quality of Life improvements. The latest update, Shrouded Spoils, aims to be all three rolled into one magnificent bundle.
While Sea of Thieves has been fun to play since its launch almost a year ago, it's continued to evolve, improve, and get better – and Shrouded Spoils is the update that ties it all together.
What is Shrouded Spoils?
Released on November 28, Shrouded Spoils is Sea of Thieves' latest major title update that focuses heavily on improving existing features or gameplay elements introduced in previous updates.
While it included long-requested changes – such as a thick dynamic fog, and expanded ship customisation – the bread and butter of the update includes (but isn't limited to):
- Updating the Megaladon
- Now with multiple variations
- Rewards for defeating them (both in general and defeating each type), including loot per encounter and progress commendations/currency for defeating multiple
- Increased chance of an encounter
- Updating the Kraken
- Rewards for defeating it (again, per encounter and progress commendations/currency)
- New attack that does more damage and spins the ship around, changing the flow of the fight (forcing players to adjust their movement in order to hit with the cannon again, instead of sitting stationary and firing through the fight)
- Increased the chance of an encounter
- Free-roaming enemy Skeleton Ships
- Ships are from the Cursed Sails update (though the difficult raid-like encounters underneath the Ship Cloud still exist)
- All ships contain loot on board as a prize for defeating them (or boarding and escaping with the loot intact)
- Re-adding Mermaid Statues
- These statues spawn in water (deep or shallow) around islands and drop gems upon defeating them that are worth quite a bit of gold
- Similar to when they were first added, Mermaid Statues encourage players to actually explore during their voyage – an activity that ensures the underwater environments aren't wasted
- Increased the spawn rate of Skeleton Forts
- High-risk and high-reward, upping the spawn rate of Skeleton Forts has started pushing more players to complete them, and has subsequently upped the player encounter rate
There's a lot more that went into the update aside from the above – for the full list, check out the patch notes here.
How does this improve the game?
On paper, the additions above (and even the patch notes) may not seem like much; however, when everything comes together in-game, it's a whole other experience.
After the update, my Voyages rarely play out how I thought they would – for example, I've included two stories below of session summaries since the update.
Last week, I picked up a Gold Hoarders Voyage to dig up some treasure on a couple of nearby island. While stocking up at the Outpost, I found a treasure map in a barrel that pointed to an island in the opposite direction – not wanting to miss out on some extra loot, I set sail for the new island.
After fighting off some skeletons and digging up the treasure, I set course toward my original island, stopping along the way to dive down into a shipwreck submerged beneath the waves, grabbing some supplies and finding a few crates to deliver to the Merchant Alliance.
When I resurfaced, a thick eery fog had rolled in and surrounded my ship, forcing me to slowly navigate my way through the poor visibility and around the rocks and land masses that don't show up on the ship's map.
When the fog cleared I made it tho the first island on my Voyage, digging up treasure chests while being chased by explosive-barrel-welding skeletons. While on the island I happened across another message in a bottle buried in the sand, and another located in a barrel – one requesting a gunpowder barrel be delivered to an Outpost, and the requesting a crate of 50 cannonballs be delivered to a different Outpost. I started stocking up on cannonballs, and fought another gunpowder skeleton to steal its barrel.
Upon setting sail to my next destination, I came across a Skeleton Ship – a beefy Galleon, with 4 cannons on each side, a much bigger threat than my solo Sloop – that attacked me when I came too close. We circled and traded cannon shots with each other for a few minutes before it rammed into me, and I boarded. Knocking a couple of skeletons away from their cannons, I grabbed the first treasure chest I could see and jumped back onto my ship.
When I pulled away again the repair the damage in my hull, a Megaladon surfaced nearby and started circling – but instead of attacking me, it ended up taking a chunk out of the Skeleton Ship, and the two started fighting each other. Seizing the opportunity, I put a few more cannonballs into the ship and boarded again, dodging my way below deck to fight off any skeletons attempting to repair the damage.
After a quick death and a respawn, I found myself back on my ship circling the sinking Skeleton Ship, and the Megaladon was making its last dive back down to the depths.
After diving into the water and collecting the remaining loot that surfaced from the Skeleton Ship's wreckage, I had enough loot on my ship to make me nervous, so I made my way to the nearest Outpost and cashed out.
That was all before I started the second map in my initial Voyage.
Coming to the end of a session, I pulled into an Outpost to hand in the little loot I had. Upon unloading my loot I saw another ship approaching from the distance – unsure of their intentions, I pulled up anchor and sailed in the same direction.
When I was close enough, the duo Sloop cautiously explained they were heading to the nearby Skeleton Fort that had just opened up, and I was free to join them in an Alliance if I wanted to help.
Not wanting to wrap up just yet, I joined their Alliance and we set sail to the Skeleton Fort together, tackling one of the new forts that Shrouded Spoils had opened up (an adventure in itself).
When we had beaten the Fort and loaded our ships with as many goodies as we could carry, we set a course back to the Outpost, only to be stopped in our tracks by a black ink that filled the water.
The Kraken's tentacles rose out of the water and surrounded my new crew's ship, pounding it as they tried to fight it off. Caught just outside the ink that slows ships to a stop, I circled the outskirts and fired upon the tentacles closest to the other Sloop (accidentally putting one or two shots into them as well, but what can you do). Before I could do too much damage, however, a Megaladon showed up and started circling me.
Having to abandon my mates briefly, I fired upon the Megaladon only when I knew I could hit it (or if it started charging) to conserve my dwindling supply of cannonballs, and hoping that it didn't make it past my cannons to take a bite out of my ship (I only had a handful of wooden planks left).
Thankfully, my second crew managed to managed to defeat the last of the Kraken's tentacles in time to help me finish off the Megaladon, and we dove beneath the waves to scavenge for the rewards they left behind.
In the following half an hour, we fought 3 more Megaladons in a row before we were able to make it back to the Outpost, which proved difficult after I ran out of supplies (my new crewmates and I had to take turns shooting ourselves onto each others ships to transfer supplies back and forward while sharks continuously circled).
We finished the night by handing in the largest collection of loot I'd ever held on a Sloop (not record-breaking, but a personal best), and trading friend requests – almost 2 hours after I'd initially planned on logging off.
The beauty of the Shrouded Spoils update is that it makes the world feel so much more alive.
There's always a set of sails on the horizon, and the risk of not knowing who's friend or foe; always a new riddle to solve, or a detour to take on your Voyage; always giant sharks to hunt or escape, or volcanic debris to dodge while navigating treacherous waters – there's never a time when something else isn't going on.
While more things happening is always good, it would be pointless without incentive, which is another area where Shrouded Spoils shines.
Incentives Encourage Players to Engage More
While it doesn't sound like much on paper, having encounters like the Kraken or the Megaladon drop immediate and tangible rewards actually gives players a reason to interact with them.
So where the Kraken used to be a nuisance to sail through and the Megaladon was a big shark to ignore until it went away, these encounters now have purpose. They're also a lot of fun to take part in, and the game shines when they all come together (per the examples above).
These encounters have also been revamped to include commendations, where players can earn Doubloons to spend on time-limited cosmetics (now or in the future). This pushes players to complete these encounters beyond the first, and provides multiple layers of reward (immediate loot, first/second/third tier commendations).
Feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive. While it's only from personal experience, crews I found myself in pre-update would ignore a lot of those elements flat-out, while Voyages with crews post-update are much more dynamic.
What's Next?
With each update, Sea of Thieves continues to improve – the updates received through 2018 have added a considerable amount of timed and permanent content, with Shrouded Spoils wrapping everything up in a neat bow.
Now that the world is much more dynamic, and moment-to-moment gameplay contains more things to do, Rare is looking to 2019, with the release of a few major updates early in the year (The Arena being a PvP-only game mode, and the second major expansion aiming to expand on the quest/mission system to bring further lore and story to the game).
We eagerly await 2019's content schedule – if 2018 is anything to go by, we're going to be in for a great year of Sea of Thieves.

How Does Acupuncture Work??
Hmmmmm...How does acupuncture work?...
Acupuncture, in a nutshell, is perceived by the body as a "micro" trauma - a teeny, tiny exposure of your nicely sealed off inner elements to an external, unwanted foreign object. As a response to this foreign invasion, what your body does is send its defense team (first responders, EMTs perhaps?) to the scene(s) of the incident. Then, before you can blink an eye, all of body's vital systems become involved, together they work to "fix" & attend to the problem at hand.
How about I parallel this idea to something more understandable; when you fall and scrape your knee, what happens? Well first you feel pain...that's your body saying "Alert! Alert! Something happened and our clean, closed surface has been broken!" Your body then kicks into gear its repair action-plan and before you know it a scab has developed over the once exposed surface. Finally, after a brief period of time, your scab falls off to reveal a newly repaired, intact, once again closed surface. See, your body DOES know how to fix itself.
So back to "How does acupuncture work?"...
Now that you have an understanding that in essence it stimulates a response from your vital systems, I will explain to you (in another nutshell) how it works systemically to balance your whole body. Think of your body as one GIANT highway circuit with many stop-lights. Over time, some of those stop-lights have turned red, halting and congesting the flow of traffic...If the congestion persists for too long (and just like an actual traffic-jam), anger and irritation erupts - presents itself as a disease. The response acupuncture treatments produce is like that of turning all the red lights green and releasing the congested/stagnant traffic so that proper flow can be re-established (kind of like an acupuncture induced systemic cleanse).
Want a more physiological answer? How about this - Needling the pressure points sends a message to our hypothalamus, located at the base of the brain near the pituitary gland. Though its size is small, don't let its size fool you because it is an extremely elaborate and very important part of our human brain. One of its most important functions is to link-up your nervous system with your endocrine system (with the help of its next door neighbor, your pituitary gland).
Q: So what happens to the message?
The message, once received by your hypothalamus, gets internalized and translated into a response that is sent back out through your body's autonomic nervous system - the very system that is responsible for fight or flight and rest & digest. This physiological feedback is how acupuncture is able to stimulate your body's natural ability to heal.
A lot of information on "How does Acupuncture Work?" That's only the beginning!, but to sum it all up I will say to you what I often say to my patients in my Loveland acupuncture practice; Our bodies are not faulty by design, so unless absolutely necessary (and I mean ABSOLUTELY), it doesn't need to be "fixed" it simply needs to be reminded of what it should be doing...
laziness will never lead to the pathway of health.
Other Theories Explaining Acupuncture
Take A Look At 3 Other Theories Explaining Acupuncture & How it Works:
1. "Endorphin" Theory:
Studies have indicated that acupuncture causes a release of endorphins, which is the neurotransmitter responsible for pain relief and the "runner's high" post run. On the other hand, other studies have made no correlation between endorphin release and acupuncture. Either way, this theory only explains how acupuncture treats conditions of pain...
2. "Gate Control" Theory:
Another theory the explains how acupuncture treats pain is the "Gate Control" idea. This particular thought was developed by Ronald Melzack and Patrick Wall back in the 60s. They argued that the central nervous system (spinal cord) has a neurological "gate" that can allow or block the transmission of pain sensation to the brain. But unlike an actual gate, this spinal cord's "gate" does not just open and close - either allowing or preventing entrance...instead it permits passage of based on the size of the nerve fiber sending the signal. Small fiber signals are permitted to pass, while large ones are not. This theory is how some explain the phenomenon of phantom pain, as well as chronic lasting pain. Again, like the "Endorphin" Theory, the "Gate Control" Theory also only touches on how acupuncture hand help with pain management.
3. "Nerve-Reflex" Theory:
The "Nerve-Reflex" Theory suggests that there is a close relationship between the peripheral and autonomic nervous system - connecting the skin to the internal organs. Basically what this theory is trying to convey is that if you were to have some sort of internal-organ disease, it would manifest somehow/somewhere on your flesh. Therefore when an acupuncturist sees these tangible, physical changes on your skin, they can treat it to treat the distressed organ.
This theory in particular may explain how acupuncture/pressure points were established in the first place...

As coalitions, may we lobby? Should we? It all seems so unclear, and many coalitions struggle with the particulars of lobbying. By its nature, a coalition is the advocacy organization for the state or territory on issues related to sexual violence. Coalitions may and should lobby. This resource presents the current federal guidelines and limitations as they affect coalitions and any coalition staff responsible for lobbying. State provisions also apply and you will need to seek out resources and legal assistance in your state or territory to help your coalition navigate and maintain compliance with any restrictions on lobbying.

Baked Mexican Stuffed Shells are covered in a spicy, creamy homemade green chili sauce. Made in under an hour, this dish is perfect for weeknight dinners!
On the blog, I like to use the phrase "this is seriously the best thing I've ever made" a lot! I realize that I can't claim that everything I make is the best thing ever, so for this recipe I brought in reinforcements!
Both my roommate and a good friend ate this dish and said it was the best thing they've ever eaten. There you go, verified, best thing ever! 😉

The hall was already buzzing with animated chatter when my blog contest winner- Angela Lau and her friend, my hubby and I walked in at 8.20pm.
The stage was lit with lasers and some guests were busy taking photos near the stage. At 8.45pm, the lights dimmed and the sound of a landing helicopter filled the hall.
Arrival from Sweden decked in ABBA 1960's outfits warmed up the crowd with the opening number "That's Me" before getting us tapping our feet with "Knowing Me Knowing You".
The group comprised of founder Vicky Zetterberg (also known as Victoria Norback), Madelene Johansson, Jonas Karlsson and Rolf Ivraeus. But after some 22 years performing as Abba lookalikes, it somehow doesn't seem outlandish to identify them as their idols – Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad, Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, and Benny Andersson – respectively.
The LED screen and stage lights filled the hall with psychedelic colours creating a dancing ambiance that was hard to resist. Soon they were belting out "SOS" followed by "Fernando" which was first sung in Swedish before switching to English. Vicky and Rolf (on keyboard) kept the crowd engaged by sharing fun facts about ABBA and their songs.
What made their show in Kuala Lumpur (they previously performed in Genting Highlands) extra special was the presence of bass guitarist Mike Watson, who had played with the original band for 10 years, as well as two other backup musicians and two backup singers.
The KLCC Plenary Hall was soon ringing to the familiar tunes of Money Money Money, Honey Honey, 1974's Waterloo, and Mamma Mia (the sequel to the movie is set to be released in July 2018).
The audience couldn't get enough of them and no one could tie them to their seats so they made their way to the front of the stage, dancing the rest of the night away with encore numbers "Thank You for the Music" and "Dancing Queen".
The Arrival from Sweden shows in Kuala Lumpur on Sept 2 and 3 were organised by AC Music Entertainment.

Waves Exchange Volume – TAN: What Coin?
We would like to thank you for visiting our website in looking for "Waves Exchange Volume" online. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers claim that there is "actual" worth, even through there isn't any physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that's, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame that's worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some sort of reward to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin contains many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to a value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of trades dwells.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason for this could be simply that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. Additionally it is possible that the regulators simply do not understand the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a unique address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the exact same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is nothing more than a representation of worth, but there is no genuine tangible type of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal limitations imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of dynamics of the protocol by which it's transacted. All purchases over a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This is not something short-term wherever your customers may dispute or require a refunds, or employ illegal sleight of palm. In practice, most dealers will be wise to work with a payment processor, because of the permanent dynamics of crypto currency deals, you have to be sure that protection is hard. With any type of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially get access to your individual recommendations and so grab your money. However, you almost certainly will never obtain it back. It's quite crucial for you to undertake some great safe and secure methods when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing so may protect you from all of these unfavorable functions. In the event of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might even be exchanged being a product. Promoters of cryptocurrencies announce that kind of electronic income is not manipulated with a fundamental bank system and it is not therefore susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a limited amount of goods, this cash's price is founded on market forces, letting owners to deal over cryptocurrency trades. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll really get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have higher chance of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, according to the amount of "shares" won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it really is worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a steady stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the benefit.

What goes on if the price crashes? " So far, many POS programs provides free transformation of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, a lot of people is going to be unwilling to hold any. We need to discover a way to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too quickly, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based business that could lead to business being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network has become the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally links in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the right location at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these companies decide how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it mended. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are worked out.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any focused firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a devoted supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present inherent problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. Lots of people choose to use a currency deflation, especially those who want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary seclusion, for instance, is great for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you're living pay check to pay check, it'd take place within your wealth, with the rest earmarked for other currencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not necessary to understand how the procedure works in and of itself, but it is simply important to understand that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can simply choose to print endless amounts (I 'm not saying they are doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining software, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.

Waves Exchange Volume: Building Wealth At Every Level: TAN
As one of the earliest forms of making money is in cash lending, it really is true that you can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites now focus on business of Bitcoin, but I'm certain there will be one or two who will already have arrived in/nearby which will give other monies. Some sites are now outside: valves: these are sites where you fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a modest number of coins for that faucet. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of tap into the money of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some sites of tap comprise: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. The new ones are always popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite inferior liquidity too. The best way to develop a sensible plan and test it in the light of these complications? Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or another regulatory agencies. Therefore, it truly is more resistant to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and seclusion can readily be realized by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't place your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also be a part of more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.

Yes, that is another way to go. However, in the case where only one swap space is configured, I don't believe the kernel will allow it to be deactivated (I may be mis-remembering, or perhaps its the case in a UNIX SVR4 system?).HiThanks for the information, it has been interesting but is it not possible to start on the current kernel and do swapoff and then change the swap partition and then swapon again? Or comment it out in fstab and then reboot?Anyway, I have resized a swap partition some years ago that way. Regards Gudjon
So, it may be safer to boot from a rescue CD and work from that environment, than to try to use swapoff on a single swap space used by the currently running kernel. And, if you're going to edit fstab and reboot anyway, why not just do it from the CD and avoid the fstab edit step altogether?
FYI, you should reply to the full list, not to a poster only, as others may be interested in the question and answer.
So, I'm sending this to the list, with a CC to you as a courtesy. Bob

Without any additives, its purity captures the very essence of perfection through long tradition, supported by peak technology and gastronomical control. Our guarantee and promise resides within every single drop of 5 olive oil ready to ascent your taste to the next level of satisfaction.
Koroneiki Variety
In Greece there are unique cultivars of olive trees, such as the Koroneiki, which has its long history tied with Greece and did not grow in other olive oil producing countries until recently. The chemical composition of the Greek soil (rocky and dry) in combination with a climate favorable to olive oil (temperate climate, extensive sunlight and relatively stable temperatures without great fluctuations) enhance the olive oil's organoleptic characteristics leading to the production of olive oil of the finest quality.
Origin & History
A host of archaeological evidence reveals the existence of olive trees in the Hellenic territory since the Neolithic era, namely 7,000 years ago. The olive has been considered by Greeks a blessed fruit since antiquity: an emblem of knowledge, wisdom, abundance, health, power and beauty. Legends, traditions, religious and athletic ceremonies have relied upon it. The olive branch was awarded to the winners of the Olympic Games since 776 B.C. and in antiquity it symbolized the peace and mandatory truce all over the world throughout the duration of the Games.

Warm-up: 10 Glute Bridges (each leg), 10 Banded Good Mornings, 10 Serratus Push-Ups, 10 Hand Release Push-Ups, 10 Lunges w/ Twist
Squat: 1 RM
MetCon – For Reps:
Tabata V-Ups
Bottom-to-Bottom Tabata
(Score is lowest round of each)
If you didn't get to test out your 1 RM back squat today, no worries, it's on the agenda for tomorrow as well. For those of you who did squat today, then there is other strength in the works. Coach CBo has also written all the rules for the point system on the whiteboard at Ktown.
Biggest question on summer of squats I have gotten thus far (other than obvious points system)…
When can I squat?
Here are a couple options:
1) After a lighter volume day at Ktown while the next class is warming up. If the next class is busy/ crazy please don't do it. Also, you must ask a coach's permission to squat after class. If they think it won't work because of logistics for the next class then please respect his/her decision.
2) Come in on a Saturday morning at 9am or to the Olympic Lifting Class on Thursday nights at 7:30pm.
3) Use another facility. I know some of you have access to racks at another gym, your house, or work. This will obviously be based on the honor system. I don't think we will have any cheaters, so I'm not going to worry about it, but please have a firm grasp on the point system so you perform the right percentage correctly.
All for now,
<3 Coach Miss J

Sarah Kendzior, journalist and authoritarian expert, recently suggested that Trump could be blackmailing Republican lawmakers with the help of Russian secret services.
If you recall, Russian intelligence services hacked both the RNC and Lindsey Graham's personal emails.
Graham's tune has changed since the Republican primaries, when he referred to Donald Trump as a "kook":
"What concerns me about the American press is this endless, endless attempt to label the guy as some kind of kook not fit to be president," Graham told CNN. "It's pretty frustrating for most Republicans, quite frankly, that it's 24/7 attack on everything the president does or thinks. It gets a little old after a while."
"I told him that I'd had a healthy respect for the media. I deal with them all the time and, you know, to attack the media has not been something I've done. But I had a newfound empathy for him in watching how a totally debunked story" spread across the political media, the Tennessee Republican told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" as he recalled a recent conversation with the president.

Ahh! The never ending debate…
Which do you prefer? Comment down below if you prefer one over the other and why. I'd love to hear it.
I love books in any form or fashion but I do appreciate paper books and e-books in different ways.
Paper Books. Who doesn't love the smell or books, the feel and sound of a turning page? My dream is to own a library like the one in Beauty and the Beast…one where I need ladders on wheels. Ohhh the awesomeness! Unfortunately, I don't have that much shelf space where I live and at the rate of which I read, it's very costly to support my reading addiction. However paper books make it easier to lend, or borrow, to smell, to cuddle…nothing beats having an actual book on your shelf. Not to mention, when you're into the books, there's no distractions as with an e-reader.
E-books. The cost and space factor is why I mainly use my tablet for reading. I use the Kindle App and an .epub reader app. I also use iBooks on my phone. The storage is not only nice for saving space but your hundreds of books can travel with you all of the time. I mean, we have so much pending books to be read but still feel like there's a lack of content to choose from. Does this happen to anyone else? I spoke about the cost factor above, e-books are a little bit cheaper so there's that. It's comfortable to read on nowadays as technology is always advancing, there's night modes, you can change the text and brightness to suit your eyes. You can also highlight and takes notes. This is something I won't do on a paper book, it'd break my heart to damage such delicate things. On the negative side, your battery will die at some point, especially when you're in the middle of a really good story and you're not at home to plug it in right away to recharge. I also strongly suggest not downloading any social media apps or have a separate tablet entirely for reading, because you WILL get distracted. Some nights I plan to get at least fifty pages into a story then I get a message notification. Before I know it…three hours has passed and I'm exhausted and cursing myself. Ohhh the guilt! I don't really listen to audiobooks but there's a useful feature if it works for you.
In conclusion, I'd say the most important thing for me is the content of the book and not so much the delivery system.

All silliness aside, I had a super-good time. First, I picked her up from her house, and we went directly to the Prince movie theater. Since we expected there to be a large crowd, we arrived very early, then sat around and talked about movies. As it turned out, the crowd was pretty small, but we still got good seats as reward for our efforts. The films were "Son of Trailer Trash" and "Trailer Trash," which aren't actually films, but a collection of old, really bad, movie trailers. Movies with names like "Wild Rebels," "The Wild Wild Planet," "The Skull." Needless to say, it rocked. Between films, we decided that we MUST have an all-70's roller skating movie night sometime.
After the films, we decided to go to Nifty Fifty's, which is a really fun little diner that's open until 1am on weekends. My only objection was the over-abundance of mirrors combined with black and white tile was kind of disconcerning. I was glad I was sober.
Food was reasonably priced, and pretty tasty, although I don't think I'll be ordering spicy anything there ever again. Chilli Pepper was never meant to be sprinkled on fries in such large quantities. My lips still feel a little chapped!
We left the diner around 1:30am, and I knew I'd better go home soon or I'd fall asleep on the road, so I dropped off D and took off. I really enjoyed being able to drive on the 76 without crawling to a halt every 10 minutes. Perhaps I should drive around in the middle of the night more often?
As for today, I think I'll go see Signs with the hubby!

A retired music teacher who sexually abused two pupils 40 years ago has been jailed for four years.
William Wright, 78, preyed on the teenagers at a school in East Renfrewshire. One woman, now 54, told a jury that she was "terrified" of him.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said that she had felt helpless at being unable to object to the abuse because she needed his help to get through exams.
Judge Lord Arthurson told Wright in sentencing at the High Court in Edinburgh that he had no other option but to reject the request by Wright's lawyer for a non-custodial sentence.
He added: "Your behaviour has caused your victims, who are now aged in their fifties, significant and lasting…
