Professor Herold is a specialist in coloproctology at the internationally renowned clinic EDZ Mannheim. As an expert in this field, he advocates the use of water in toilet hygiene and advises against opting for treated toilet paper or wet wipes.
An expert's view: water is the only way to get clean
The only thorough way of cleaning your bottom is to use water – that is the firm belief of this particular expert. Find out more about toilet hygiene in an interview with Professor Alexander Herold.
Interview with Prof. Dr. med. Herold
Question: It is completely natural to use water for general body hygiene. So why is it not equally natural when it comes to toilet hygiene?
Answer Prof. Herold: Water is just as important in toilet hygiene as it is for body hygiene.In the past, people even made sacrifices in their general body hygiene in order to save water. Nowadays we shower almost daily, and this idea is practically inconceivable. When it comes to toilet hygiene, however, we are still lagging behind.
Which cleaning method would you recommend?
My answer to that question is very clear: pure water, either warm or cold, is always the most thorough and gentle cleaning method. I would steer clear of bleached, perfumed or coloured paper due to the risk of allergic reactions. I would also advise against using wet wipes. Some people can have allergic reactions to the chemicals that give wet wipes their long shelf lives or the substances which keep them moist.
What are the risks of incorrect toilet hygiene?
Incorrect toilet hygiene can cause allergies, skin irritation and eczema, in some cases accompanied by unbearable itching. The same can occur when cleaning is inadequate. Loose stools in particular can leave residues in the folds of the anus that cannot be completely removed with paper, thus increasing the risk of the aforementioned problems occurring.
What are the disadvantages of cleaning with water?
There isn't a single one. Water cleans your bottom thoroughly and gently and is one of the most hygienic cleaning agents.
Do you have a theory as to why most people in central Europe use toilet paper?
I believe it has to do with the historical development of the toilet. In the past, toilets had no flushing mechanism and as a result, there was no water in the toilet. Consequently, people clearly couldn't clean themselves with water, so it seems that old newspapers were the only option. This is how the use of toilet paper became established and survived to this day, even though it isn't the most thorough method.
Which toilet hygiene methods would you recommend for people on the move?
Cleaning with water is still the best method, even if you are on the move. If this isn't possible, I would recommend a compromise: wet some tissues under the tap and use them to clean before dabbing with a dry tissue.

Public Citizen Global Trade Watch Director
Free trade policies favor agribusiness corporations that own large factory farms around the word. In these confinement systems, pigs are often restricted in cramped crates.
The infamous 1999 World Trade Organization (WTO) ministerial meeting in Seattle, during which the world watched "turtles and teamsters" marching in protest together, highlighted the direct hit that animal welfare and wildlife conversation policies take from free "trade" policies. Over the years, the agriculture rules found in the WTO, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and now the more recent Central American Free Trade agreement (CAFTA) have promoted the intensification and spread worldwide of the factory farm model.
Communities seeking to counter the brutal factory farm system, with its documented abuse of animals in massive consolidated livestock operations, its wipeout of small farmers and its consolidation of livestock production, are finding the laws they pass locally are being attacked as trade illegal—even though they apply to local, domestic conduct rather than trade in anything. Indeed, WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA and the entire alphabet soup of "trade" agreements that deliver the corporate globalization system explicitly forbid the consideration of the processes of how animals are raised or how fish are harvested. Under these pacts, "process and production" standards, such as animal welfare laws or sustainable fishing rules, are dubbed "illegal discrimination," even through they treat domestic and foreign products the same.
Protesting the greed-driven free trade policies that may destroy their livelihood, independent Korean farmers drop to their knees on the streets of Hong Kong outside of the December 2005 WTO Ministerial Conference. Some activists experienced trouble with local police, and over a dozen Korean farmers were put in jail during the conference.
If this isn't troubling enough, recently passed trade agreements like CAFTA, a six-nation expansion of NAFTA to Costa Rica, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua, will make the situation worse. CAFTA's service sector rules gave away countries' control over marine exclusive boundaries—meaning Central American countries' laws limiting off-shore drilling and factory shop fishing in territorial waters are illegal under the agreement, except in Costa Rica, which took an exception. Moreover, under CAFTA, laws limiting or forbidding beachfront development are illegal, and the rise of hotels and tourism is likely to devastate remaining marine habitats. The agreement even excludes the very limited clause under NAFTA that gave precedence to certain Multilateral Environmental Agreements, including the vital Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna, when there is a conflict.
Unfortunately, since the landmark Public Citizen litigation in the early 1990s that allowed environmental and animal welfare groups to be included in the official US trade advisory system, the sorts of provisions being included in these "trade" agreements have only become more anti-animal and anti-habitat. How can we change this race to the bottom? Only by more intense campaigning to increase the accountability of US trade policymakers in Congress and the Administration.

Hebrews 1 Common English Bible (CEB)
The Son is God's ultimate messenger
1 In the past, God spoke through the prophets to our ancestors in many times and many ways. 2 In these final days, though, he spoke to us through a Son. God made his Son the heir of everything and created the world through him. 3 The Son is the light of God's glory and the imprint of God's being. He maintains everything with his powerful message. After he carried out the cleansing of people from their sins, he sat down at the right side of the highest majesty. 4 And the Son became so much greater than the other messengers, such as angels, that he received a more important title than theirs.
Speaking to the Son and angels
5 After all, when did God ever say to any of the angels:
You are my Son.
Or, even,
I will be his Father,
6 But then, when he brought his firstborn into the world, he said,
All of God's angels must worship him.[c]
7 He talks about the angels:
He's the one who uses the spirits for his messengers
8 But he says to his Son,
God, your throne is forever
10 And he says,
You, Lord, laid the earth's foundations in the beginning,
13 When has he ever said to any of the angels,
Sit at my right side
14 Aren't all the angels ministering spirits who are sent to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?

'Trojan Women' great despite interrupted rehearsals
Thursday evening, Feb 24, OCCC's theatrical department proved the old adage "the show must go on."
Despite interruption of rehearsals caused by recent snowstorms, and the last-minute replacement of one of the leading players, the production of "Trojan Women" took the stage at the Bruce Owen Theater.
The stage set with its strewn and broken porticos; classic music and ambient lighting were an effective way to set the atmosphere while the audience settled in.
A small distraction was one cast member dancing around and peeking from behind the curtain before the play began. That bit of unprofessional behavior changed the mood from serious to "seriously?"
Euripides wrote "Trojan Women" in 415BC. It was the third tragedy of a trilogy about the Trojan War. The Greek warriors have killed their men, their city is being burned, and the women of Troy are facing an uncertain future at the hands of their captors.
Hecuba is attempting to council the younger women although she herself is lamenting the loss of her husband and son.
Misty Red Elk gave strength and dignity to the role. Her extensive speeches were performed without a flaw, although in the first few moments, without much emotion. The wait was worth it, and as Red Elk settled comfortably into her role, the passion began to build. The perfectly timed chorus of "Trojan Women" joined in with her and all players seemed to hit their stride.
The masks worn by the cast members were an attractive and effective way of maintaining a blend of like expressions, familial intimacy, and anonymity. The costumes were very well done.
The cast did an excellent job in spite of the obstacles they faced.
Rachael Barry gave life to the betrayed Cassandra, and Amanda Edwards brought tears as Andromache saying goodbye to her child.
Kudos to Jolie Beth Boudreaux for doing so well after stepping into the role of Helen two weeks ago.
It is always a pleasure to watch Philip Aken perform, and his role as Menelaus was no exception.
Guest Director Rachel Irick is to be complimented on her success in putting this play together.

Published at Friday, January 25th, 2019 - 23:27:25 PM. Bedroom. By Alisz Schmitt.
Style and design will likely be the key factors for those who are looking to purchase lamps solely for the purpose of decorating their bedroom. Obviously, there are many styles of lamps out there and it's almost impossible to pinpoint which style (let alone lamp) is most suitable for you, your sense of style and the look of your bedroom. Despite what one's personal sense of style may be, the quality of the lamp is another important factor to consider when decorating. Obviously, the better the quality the more expensive it becomes so it's important to have the perfect balance between the two.
Even though this is a small bedroom, it has been beautifully decorated. We like its cozyness and the way everything fits without making it feel cramped. The modern bed is complemented by vintage-inspired bedding and decorative pillows. It's been placed in front of the window, leaving enough space for other essentials as well. The bedroom has a rich color palette complemented by various patterns and textures.

Le Mont Saint-Michel, one of the main tourist attractions in Normandy and UNESCO World Heritage Site (since 1979) as well and is also part of the French Jacob's Way.
The hill in the sea, situated very close to the coast line and close to the border between Normandy and Brittany.
Le Mont Saint-Michel dates back to to ancient times hand been the seat of a monastery since about 800 AD. More on the history of the hill will be in the next part of this special blog.
That hill in the sea is a complete tourist magnet. You cannot imagine how many people go there, unless you have been there yourself.
It is simply unbelievable. We are talking thousands a day. The tourist board published the annual number of visitors as being around 3,5 million people.
They used to have a dam there linking the mainland with the island. At the end of the dam / causeway they had had a visitor car park that lead visitors directly to the main gate. That was all discarded in 2009, when construction work began on a new dam and a bridge that connected the mainland with the island. The new bridge was opened to the public by its architect Dietmar Feichtinger on 22 July 2014. You can see part of the bridge in the above image.
They operate a free bus line between the hotels and the Le Mont. The bus goes every 15 minutes. You can also walk the distance from the hotels to the hill, which takes about 35 minutes, if you are not too slow.
Going to that place is a must.
Map location and route planner
It must be said that having not been there would have been a complete loss to myself, if not a personal desaster. In other words, going there is a complete MUST. When you just think about it, don't mess around, pack your bags, your camera, your video and off you go. This is a tremendously superb site with plenty to see. The following pictures were taken on Tuesday the 19 Dec 2017.
This image was taken at about 1000h in the morning, while standing below the ramparts of the monastery.

Saxophonist Kenny G has more to brag about than his world-class horn-playing. He's now the best golfer among music-makers, according to Golf Digest's ranking of the "Top 100 in Music."
The Grammy winner beats out country stars Vince Gill, Marty Roe and Steve Azar, and No Doubt drummer Adrian Young, who round out the top 5.
The list also includes Bob Dylan (No. 63), Snoop Dogg (No. 44) and fellow sax player Branford Marsalis (No. 29).
The list was to be published on Tuesday on the magazine's Web site, as well as in its December issue, on newsstands Nov. 7.
The ranking is based on handicaps, some official, some not-so-official. Kenny G's handicap is a plus-0.6, meaning his average score is better than par.
And he tells the magazine he still needs improvement.
"With the sax, I learned technique well enough so that it feels like part of my body and I just express myself," he said. "That's where I want to get in golf."
Gill, a scratch golfer (0 handicap), said, "musicians and golfers understand each other."
"We know what it takes to have to perform," he said. "We know there is a lot of alone time."
Rocker Alice Cooper, who ranked 11th on the list with a 5.3 handicap, said playing golf helped him kick his drug habit.
"Golf is the crack of sports," he told the magazine. "Once I took it seriously, I loved it. It absolutely saved my life."
Other stars on the Golf Digest rankings include Justin Timberlake (No. 15), Englebert Humperdinck (23), Celine Dion (62), Nick Lachey (95) and Pink (100).

The Ancient World
We in the West have been taught that all of the science we have today was developed by the Greeks. Through work in the last 50 years we now know that we owe almost all of the roots of modern science and the roots of Greek science to developments in India, China, and the Arab lands, developments that predated the Greeks. The Greeks did indeed carry forward many of the ideas and laid the foundations for our modern philosophy, physics, metaphysics, and mathematics, but they already had learned much from the world surrounding Greece.
For example, Babylonian mathematics in 3000 BCE ("before common era", or more commonly, "BC", or "before Christ") had developed a number system, or a "place system," based on the base 60. Our modern number system is based on 10 (the decimal system). Around 2000 BCE the astronomers of Mesopotamia used tables with squares of numbers, a system that came much, much later in the West. In 1800 BCE the Egyptians used equations to deal with food distribution. Even the earliest recording of the creation story came from India around 2000 BCE and was recorded in the Rig-veda, which evolved into Hinduism. More about the contributions of the non-Greek scientists can be found in the paperback, Lost Discoveries, by Dick Teresi.
The Abrahamic Genesis story was first written down around 1400-1200 BCE (before it was oral tradition), and around 1000 BCE the Sumarians and Babylonians were using a sophisticated algebra, millennia before algebra was introduced in Egypt and Greece by Hero of Alexandria.

Relative species richness and community completeness: avian communities and urbanization in the mid-Atlantic states
Ecological Applications
By: E. Cam, J.D. Nichols, J.R. Sauer, J.E. Hines, and C.H. Flather
- Document: Document (html)
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
The idea that local factors govern local richness has been dominant for years, but recent theoretical and empirical studies have stressed the influence of regional factors on local richness. Fewer species at a site could reflect not only the influence of local factors, but also a smaller regional pool. The possible dependency of local richness on the regional pool should be taken into account when addressing the influence of local factors on local richness. It is possible to account for this potential dependency by comparing relative species richness among sites, rather than species richness per se. We consider estimation of a metric permitting assessment of relative species richness in a typical situation in which not all species are detected during sampling sessions. In this situation, estimates of absolute or relative species richness need to account for variation in species detection probability if they are to be unbiased. We present a method to estimate relative species richness based on capture-recapture models. This approach involves definition of a species list from regional data, and estimation of the number of species in that list that are present at a site-year of interest. We use this approach to address the influence of urbanization on relative richness of avian communities in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. There is a negative relationship between relative richness and landscape variables describing the level of urban development. We believe that this metric should prove very useful for conservation and management purposes because it is based on an estimator of species richness that both accounts for potential variation in species detection probability and allows flexibility in the specification of a 'reference community.' This metric can be used to assess ecological integrity, the richness of the community of interest relative to that of the 'original' community, or to assess change since some previous time in a community.

Pozza di Fassa is located in the heart of the Val di Fassa immersed in the beautiful scenery of the Dolomites. The location in the center of the valley, ideal for every need, Pozza di Fassa makes it a prime location and very sunny. The variety of entertainment and paths, also, allows many tourists that visit each year, to juggle walks, hiking and climbing in summer and spectacular skiing in the winter.
The butcher shop Carpano is positioned at the beginning of the main street in via Meida 15. The selling point of Pozza stands, also, for the grandeur and elegance of the windows and the preparation of the bench is always rich and supplied with every delicacy to be enjoyed at any time of the day.

TLC has announced the full lineup of starpower on the fourth season of "Who Do You Think You Are?," which premiers Tuesday, July 23. TLC picked up the series after NBC dropped it last year.
These are the season's celebrity guests. I added a bit of info on where you might recognize them from and on their ancestry:
- Kelly Clarkson:The first winner of "American Idol" back in 2002, this singer-songwriter from Fort Worth has Greek and Welsh roots. A Clarkson sighting in Sumter County, Ga., in February prompted reports she was filming at the Andersonville National Historic Site.
- Zooey Deschanel: You may know this actress (she's pictured in the screenshot above) and musician as the quirky title character of "New Girl" on Fox. Her surname comes from her French paternal grandfather; she also has Swiss, Dutch, English and Irish roots.
- Chris O'Donnell: As his parents' surnames—O'Donnell and Rohs von Brecht—would suggest, this "NCIS: Los Angeles" actor (he also was on the big screen as Robin to batmen Val Kilmer and George Clooney) has Irish and German ancestry.
- Christina Applegate: This "Married … with Children," and "Samantha Who?" actress was born into the business: Her parents are record company executive Robert W. Applegate and singer and actress Nancy Lee Priddy
- Jim Parsons: The episode featuring this "Big Bang Theory" star (trademark line: "Bazinga!") is the one I'm most anticipating. BBT is a favorite in our house, and I'd love to see what Parsons is like when he steps out of the role of Sheldon Cooper. The Houston native reportedly has English, Scottish, French and German heritage.
- Cindy Crawford: German, English and French make up the bulk of this supermodel's ancestry. She was "discovered" by a newspaper photographer as she detasseled corn in her DeKalb, Ill., hometown. Her appearance at the Connecticut State Library in May clued us in that she was filming for WDYTYA?
- Trisha Yearwood: This country singer does it all: She's also an actress, cookbook author and host of her own cooking show on the Food Network. She was born in Monticello, Ga.
- Chelsea Handler:A comedian, actress and talk show host from Livingston, NJ, Handler has a German Mormon mother and a Jewish father.

I have always imagined that when the Bible described the "wailing and gnashing of teeth" of those cast away from the presence of God in the judgment that this was an expression of physical pain, sort of like when a linebacker pulls a hamstring (cf. Matt. 13:42, 50). But I was stunned to find the same word for "gnashing" used in Acts 7:54. The scene is the martyrdom of Stephen. The word of God says that after his testimony that "when they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth."
The context here is that they utterly despised Stephen and were enraged at the words which he spoke; his words were words of condemnation to them. I wonder now if that wailing and gnashing signifies something more than more pain at the torment they are enduring. I believe that it also signifies their continuing hatred of God, especially because they have been righteously judged for their sins.
It is incredible to imagine that after seeing the glory of God in Christ, and even after hearing a just and holy verdict, that those who are sentenced will feel, instead of remorse, even greater hate towards God. But I believe that this is entirely possible, and I believe that apart from the grace of God, such enmity is the natural response of the fallen heart. This makes the miracle of the newbirth and the staggering change that it brings in the human character all the more marvelous.
What say you? Do you believe that when the wicked are judged that they will be repentant, or that they will become even more recalcitrant than before? Will the gnashing of teeth be out of pain only, or will they gnash their teeth at the Sovereign God the way they did at His martyr Stephen?

Ok so Mr. Adult Beginner got me this fancy new stylus and fancy new drawing app.
And now I need to learn them up!
So 12 days of Christmas is gonna be my learning project.
I like counting songs.
So far learned: need to watch out for the little Memory icon, or else the app will quit unexpectedly and the drawing will be lost and I will Fly Into A Rage!!!!!
PS, did you know that the twelve days of Christmas isn't a count down to Christmas day? It's actually a count down to that day in January when someone brings a King Cake to work and everyone takes the tiniest piece possible in order to avoid the tiny plastic baby that is baked somewhere inside? And then somebody gets the baby and everyone yells Ooooh! You got the baby!!! You have to bring treats!!!!
PPS, speaking of drums, I just spent about twenty minutes watching clips of taiko drummers on YouTube. AWESOME. Awe-SOME.

Ever think of using black paint on your walls? Not many people do, but maybe we should. Let this article from Houzz inspired some more thought on the subject:
Black is the color of the night sky, ebony, caviar and coal. It was one of the first colors ever used in human art. It's classic, deep, simple and elegant. It is also associated with death, fear, mourning and evil.
But whatever your associations — from witches to fashion — black is a serious color. As Henri Matisse said, "Black is a force." And using it in decor is a statement unto itself. It's confident and self-assured. It's chic and mysterious. But most of all, black is beautiful.
Read the remainder of the article: Color Guide: How to Work With Black.
Olde Century Colors has a Lamp Black in Acrylic Latex Paint and Carriable Black in Simulated Milk Colors paints. Either would be perfect for any room. If you want to go really, really dark but not quite black, take a look at these colors: Greenbrier, Olde Navy, Dark Hunter Green, Candleberry Green and Salt Box Blue.

Controversial topic for research paper is the name chosen for this article about the cycle of change of power. The topic is very controversial because it challenges the power of the most powerful in society. To even discuss it is often quite difficult. The reality is that power supports power - and any questioning of it may lead people to realise that the present basis is not the best. The reality is ... the present basis is not the best. This is why this is a controversial topic for research paper. There is no easy way to the Nirvana Garden!
The two main items in this controversial topic for research paper are the length of time in any position of power and the basis for changing who the incumbent is. The two items are quite closely linked but it is best to separate them in order to get to the real issue. The best approach to this is to firstly consider the less contentious issue, that of the method of change. The level of controversy about the time in office starts to be understood when it is considered to be more controversial that the means of change. Systems of power are always a controversial topic for research paper.
While numerous methods have been used over time and there still are numerous methods around the world, there is significance acceptance that brute force, either physical or mental, is not the best predicator of a leader. There seems to be fairly general acceptance that some level election by voting is optimal. There are still many places where there are all sorts of restrictions on who can vote and under what pressure or persuasion. The extent to which the language, if not the actions, support popular voting would indicate that most of the world's population is of the view that election is best - even if they do not practice and support it publically.
If that is accepted, then the limitations and restrictions can be clearly seen as dishonest attempts to meet individuals' personal agendas.
The method of change should be by election. This in itself is a controversial topic for research paper. Eeven within the boundaries of election, there is controversy. Restrictions on elegible voters should be rational and realistic. For example, restrict the voters for a national role to those in that nation. Restrictions based on gender, wealth, race or perceived views are not acceptable.
The extent of this issue is best understood by the level of studies in this area compared with the publicity that it receives. In particular, those studies which have compared time in office with the effectiveness of government over time. The results of these studies are very clear. Those results are that, provided an incumbent remains in office for approximately one calendar year, then the shorter the pre-determined term of office, the greater the levels of operacy, effectiveness AND efficiency.
This is so important, it needs repaeating. Studies show that provided an incumbent remains in office for approximately one calendar year, then the shorter the term of office, the greater the levels of operacy, effectiveness AND efficiency.
The immediate response to that type of statement is to question why it might be so and why it has not been implemented. The answers are glaringly obvoius.
Why it might be so? The rationale is very simple. To survive in the absence of a dominant controller, decisions and priorities need to have a solid and understandable basis. Where power is based in the individual, there are no checks and balances and the misinterpretations and misunderstandings of the person in power are often implemented. Where power is transitory, much more is focused on solid information and solid decision making processes.
Why has it not be implemented? Those in power, and those who think they will be in power soon, are strongly opposed - because it will limit their power! Any systematic improvement that takes away from the most powerful will be opposed by the most powerful. To overcome something supported by almost all of the most powerful requires revolution! Revolutions are not really common - and require significant leaderships from outside of the "power group". Very few revolutions are focussed on changing the system. Most are merely about replacing one power group with another. Arguably the latest system change revolution was the French Revolution in 1789-1799!

We hired a private driver for the day—a random local hanging out by our hotel. With a great sense of humor and excellent English, we learned a lot about the real Bali. He agreed, Bali is building too many resorts and exploiting too much tourism, American politics is just, well, insane, and McDonald's is gross. So, first stop: Nusa Duo beach. We managed to acquire a slight sunburn and partial tan but more importantly, the ocean was calm and off to the east, a beautiful temple on a cliff. After grabbing some lunch at a local beachfront seafood café (splitting our meal due to cost) we headed off to the Cultural Park to view Bali's largest statue. Several, what seemed to be, high school students, who did not speak English, wanted their photo with us. We must look American? Moving on, after grabbing some bananas at a market, we headed to the one of Bali's oldest temples. Resting on the coast of the Indian Ocean, the Pura Luhur (Uluwatu) Temple sits on a cliff, 250 feet above water. It is best viewed at sunset and that is exactly what we did. After being fitted with a sarong and managing to dodge the mean monkeys, we made our way to the top of the cliff to view the temple. The views were incredible and Michael has the photos to prove it. And by mean monkeys, I mean, mean. These monkeys have adapted over the years with tourists. They steal anything they can get their little hairy hands on, such as eyeglasses, hats and cameras. We were lucky enough to witness their intelligent scam. As a monkey stole a pair of eyeglasses right off a man's face, a Balinese woman bribed the monkey with fruit. As the monkey gathered the fruit, he finally surrendered the eyeglasses to the woman. As she handed them to the man, she asked for money.
As the sun began to set we headed to a stage, where a traditional Kecak and Fire Dance was to be performed. The dance was beautiful. The story behind it and the chanting men are unexplainable and my best advice is that you must see at least one of Bali's greatest dances in your lifetime. I apologize but my own explanation of the dance will not do it justice. Photos to come.
I almost forgot… on our way to Uluwatu, as traffic commenced congestion, we asked our driver what was going on in the street, "they are freeing someone," he said. Michael and I looked at each other confused. After passing hundreds of people walking past our car in the street, we witnessed the elevated casket and realized we were a part of a traditional Balinese funeral. What our driver meant by freeing someone was just that. The Balinese believe that death itself is not the end of all matters but instead a new beginning. The soul must be freed for its journey into the next life, or existence. It is believed that failure to free the soul (roh) will result in the soul becoming a ghost causing havoc amongst the village. It is also believed that the soul cannot be freed as long as there is a body thus the destroying of the corpse by the elements of water, fire and earth is essential, i.e. cremation. Hours later, we made our way back to our hotel, driving past a traditional Muslim wedding.

Talk to kids and teens about drugs
It is important to talk to your teens about the dangers of prescription medicines and other drugs – Teens who continue to learn about the risks of drugs at home are up to 50 percent less likely to use drugs than those who are not taught about the dangers.
If you need to talk to your teen about their own drug use, follow these tips for how to prepare for the conversation. You can also download this e-book made just for families with teens or young adults who are struggling with drug use–like prescription pills, heroin, or fentanyl.
This short video can get you started by offering tips on how to talk to your kids about drugs at different ages. The host is Betsy Brown Braun, a child development and behavior specialist, who starts by saying "what you say to your kids, I'm happy to tell you, does make a difference."
Lock up your meds and get rid of them safely
It is important to keep all medicines, both prescription and over-the-counter, in a safe place, such as a locked cabinet or box — Nearly half of teens who have used prescription drugs reported getting them from their parent's medicine cabinet. Tell relatives, especially grandparents, to lock up their medicine or keep them in a safe place. Follow these three steps to safely store medications in your home.
If you're finished with a prescription medicine and you have pills left — or if you have any unused prescriptions around the house — The best thing to do is bring them to a drug disposal box or take-back event. Use our map to find a disposal box near you.
Call a Support Line and talk to a counselor or peer
You can connect with the Parent Support Network, where they specialize in support for children, families, and youth transitioning to adulthood. They also offer peer support for adults. You can call their Parent Line at , or read more about their supportive services on their website.
Rhode Island also has a Support Line for people who want to talk about substance use. If you think that your child may be abusing prescription drugs or if you simply just want to learn more, you can call 401-414-LINK (5465) to talk to a local licensed counselor for free. The Support Line is open all day, every day.
Talk to your students
Teens learn from what they are taught at school. This website from the National Institute on Drug Abuse offers short videos, infographics, and other resources that teachers can use in class to get their students involved and talking. The website also provides free activity plans for lessons on critical thinking, the body on drugs, media, peer pressure, friends and more.
Use an evidence-based teaching program
The Strengthening Families Program is for elementary school children and uses family systems and cognitive-behavioral approaches to improve family relationships, parenting skills, and youth's social and life skills.
The Botvin LifeSkills Training Middle School program helps middle school students develop personal self-management skills, general social skills, and drug resistance skills.
Get trained to use naloxone
In our state lawmakers require naloxone to be in all public middle, junior high and high schools. Talk to your school nurse or use our map to find out where you can get naloxone. When you buy naloxone at a pharmacy, the pharmacist will show you how to use it. You can also watch this video to see how to give nasal naloxone.

Info zu If the Moon Turns Green (Remastered)
Diana Panton's gifted voice has a direct penetrating power, full of an emotional conviction that her contemporaries lack. The combination of her ethereal and graceful singing skill, appealingly luscious voice and her ability to deliver the lyrics as a storyteller make Diana Panton simply irresistible.
Diana Panton has quietly become one of the brightest lights on the jazz scene today. Her work is consistently praised by listeners and music critics alike for her ethereal vocals, exceptional song selection and emotional intensity. "Her diaphanous vocal sound never insists and her high speed vibrato is like the beat of a hummingbird's heart - natural, untainted and pure." (Lesley Mitchell-Clarke, Wholenote Magazine)
Her keen aesthetic sense has attracted the attention of some of the jazz world's most respected masters.
"if the moon turns green ..." Diana's sophomore album won the first place jury-selection to perform at the 2007 Jazz at Juan, Revelations in France where she was voted Première Dauphine by the Juan public. CBC radio host Tim Tamashiro named her one of Canada's TOP 5 Jazz Vocalists.
"There has been a lot of buzz around Diana Panton since her first CD was released in 2005, and as all of us cynics know, sometimes buzz is justified and sometimes it isn't. In Panton's case, I am happy to add my voice to the chorus of praise and report that the buzz is utterly justified. Her second CD "If the Moon Turns Green" is a gorgeous collection of star-and –moon-themed standards." (Cathy Riches, WholeNote Magazine)

Diana Panton
Her keen aesthetic sense has attracted the attention of some of the jazz world's most respected masters. When Order of Canada and legendary multi-instrumentalist Don Thompson first heard Panton sing at age 19, he recommended she audition for the reputed jazz workshop at the Banff Center for the Arts (Canada). There, she studied under Norma Winstone (and in subsequent visits, Jay Clayton and Sheila Jordan). "When the great singer Sheila Jordan said Diana Panton 'sounds like the sweetest bird you'll ever hear', she helped define some of the ephemeral delicacy that marks Panton as unique." (Stuart Broomer, Toronto Life)
Before recording her first album, Panton completed an Honours Masters degree in French literature and fulfilled a teaching engagement at the University of Paris (France), followed by a position as a French Sessional Lecturer at McMaster University (Canada). She then completed a teaching degree in French, Visual and Dramatic Arts which would eventually lead to her current position at Westdale Secondary (Canada).
When the time finally arrived to go into the studio, national award-winning guitarist Reg Schwager was invited to join Don Thompson for some stellar accompaniment behind Panton's pure vocals. The late great Montreal jazz critic Len Dobbin called "...yesterday perhaps" one of the finest debut CDs he had heard in years! It landed Diana on the covers of VIEW and NOW Magazine and the album made NOW's TOP 10 Discs of the Year. The album was also awarded a Silver Disc Award upon its release in Japan in 2011.
Since her initial CD release, Panton's career has been gathering steady momentum. Her impressive catalogue of internationally acclaimed albums have garnered numerous honours, including a second Silver Disc Award in Japan, three JUNO nominations, 7 Hamilton Music Awards, a host of National Jazz Award nominations, Canadian and American Independent Music Award nominations. Her sophomore album, "if the moon turns green ..." was the first place jury-selection to perform at the Jazz à Juan Révélations where she was voted Première Dauphine by the Juan public. Most recently, she was named one of Canada's TOP 5 Jazz Vocalists by CBC radio host Tim Tamashiro.
One gets the feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg for Panton... this artist is on the brink of something big.

The Sand Ceremony is a popular unity ritual for outdoor weddings, particularly at the beach, and for obvious reasons. Sand. Beach. You get it, right? The symbolism is the same as the Unity Candle and captures the idea that two individuals are coming together to form an inseparable partnership.
Regular readers of this blog will not be surprised to see me say that this too is a ritual with plenty of customizable options.
Couples can include family representatives who present the bride and groom with their individual vases of sand and the officiant can broaden the meaning to include the joining of two families, not just two individuals. Children of blending families can be included to demonstrate that the marriage is the foundation of the family and the children will continue to be loved and nurtured within the new union.
Some couples opt to use two different colors of sand while others prefer to both use natural sand or a single color meaningful to them . The officiant can adapt the wording of the sand ceremony to best fit the particular circumstances, especially if the colors are not just reflective of the wedding theme, but are selected for symbolic reasons.
Sand ceremony kits are widely available on-line and in some craft stores in the wedding aisle and in some bridal salons. They are generally not terribly expensive. Making a sand ceremony kit as a do-it-yourself project is quite easy. Two smaller vases, one vase roughly double the volume, and craft sand. That's it! This can be done under $20.
I do recommend the vases/containers be well-balanced and a bit on the weighty side. I have seen light-weight glass vases go flying down the beach in windy conditions, and I do not mean gale force winds either.
I have had more than a few couples ask about music for the sand ceremony. Don't bother! Unless you choose a kit that includes a center vessel with a narrow opening (the shadow box frame for example), the ritual lasts perhaps a minute and a half. During that time, the officiant is explaining the symbolism and guiding the couple through the actions. Light instrumental background music might be fine, but a special song would not work well at all. If you have a piece of music important to you, I recommend finding other ways to incorporate it into your wedding ceremony.
Two Color Sand Ceremony (Couple Chose Colors for Symbolic Meanings)
(Names), you have just sealed your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings. Today this relationship is further symbolized through the pouring of these two individual containers of sand. (Name) has chosen blue sand as the color is symbolic of harmony, trust, security, and loyalty. (Name) has chosen brown sand as the color is symbolic of stability, hearth and home, reliability, and comfort. These two vases of sand represent (Names), and all they were, all they are, and all they will ever be.
(Names), I invite you to now pour your two containers of sand into the third container, where they shall be joined together as one. As the sand is blends, it flows together in a lovely pattern allowing us to see the individual colors while appreciating the creation of something new and beautiful—just as you encourage and support one another's individuality in the context of a strong union. Our hope for you today is that your lives together be longer than the time it would take to separate these individual grains of sand.
One Color Sand Ceremony (Couple Chose Sand from the Ceremony Site)
(Names), you have just sealed your relationship by the giving and receiving of rings. Today your relationship is further symbolized through the pouring of this sand. It represents the essence of who you are and the gifts you bring to this union. A
t this time I invite you to pour some sand from this beach into the center vessel. As your sands mix together they symbolize your bond of love and respect that can never be separated. May this sand from the very place you began your marriage always remind you of this moment and bring to mind the reasons you fell in love and why you chose to marry. Our prayer for you this day is that your lives together be longer than the time it would take to separate these individual grains of sand.

Who are we?
Stable Relationships is an organisation run by a sole trader (Debbie Woolfe).

As such Stable Relationships has a duty to abide by data protection law including both the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.
What is the purpose of this policy?
This policy is intended to provide information about how Stable Relationships will use (or 'process') personal data about individuals including: its current, past and prospective clients/students; and their key adults (the people who give us their information), eg schools, carers.
This information is provided because Data Protection Law gives individuals rights to understand how their data is used. Everyone who works with us, or has an interest in our organisation, is encouraged to read this Privacy Notice and understand our obligations.
This policy applies in addition to Stable Relationship's other relevant terms and conditions and policies. Anyone who works with us should also be aware of and comply more broadly with this policy and our other policies and procedures.
Why do we need to process your data?
In order to run our courses, programmes, and activities for children and young people, schools, teachers, and key adults, Stable Relationships needs to process a wide range of personal data about individuals as part of its daily operations.
We need to carry out some of this activity to fulfil our legal rights, duties or obligations, and some to ensure we provide as appropriate and high quality service as we possibly can, to meet the needs of our students/clients.
The table below shows our uses of personal data in accordance with the legal bases as outlined in the GDPR: Applicable Legal Basis

What information do we actually process?
This may include:
– Contact details and personal information
– Bank details and other financial information (of external service providers eg gardener)
– Operational information
– Images of individuals (in accordance with our Policies and Procedures)
How do we collect data?
Stable Relationships receives the majority of personal data from the individual directly (including, in the case of children and young people, from a key adult or school).
Who has access to your data and how do we share it?
For the vast majority of the time, the information you give us, is held by us, and not shared with anyone outside of Stable Relationships.
Very occasionally, we may need to share personal information with third parties, such as:
- Professional advisers (e.g. lawyers, insurers, and accountants);
- Government authorities (e.g. HMRC, police or the local authority);
- Appropriate regulatory bodies [e.g. Ofsted, ICO).
This will usually only happen as a result of a specific request from the relevant authority, or as a result of us needing to gain advice following a specific isolated incident. The information sharing under these circumstances will be in accordance with General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018.
We may collect your IP address and use cookies unless you configure your web browser not to accept them. At the time of writing the cookies used on the website are from Google Analytics.
How long do we keep your data for?
Stable Relationships will keep personal data from anyone who has booked onto a course, or programme for 7 years, in line with our insurance policy. After this time data will be shredded (if paper) or deleted (if electronic copy), and disposed of in a secure manner.
We will keep any other personal data indefinitely or until someone chooses to unsubscribe
If you have any specific queries about how our retention policy is applied, or wish to request that personal data that you no longer believe to be relevant is considered for erasure, please contact us, but bear in mind that we may have lawful and necessary reasons to hold onto some forms of data, even following such a request.
Keeping in touch
Stable Relationships will use the contact details of individuals, who have previously worked with us, to keep them updated about our services according to our 'legitimate interests.' Individuals have a right not to receive these messages and can inform us at any time of their wishes.
Your rights
Individuals have various rights to access and to understanding personal data about them, held by Stable Relationships. However, this is subject to certain exemptions and limitations. Individuals can exercise the following rights:
– To be informed about how it is used
– To request access to it
– To request that it is rectified
– To request erasure if there is no compelling reason for its continued processing
– To request that its processing is restricted
– To data portability
– To object to it being processed.
Any individual wishing to exercise their rights should put their request in writing to Debbie Woolfe (Manager of Stable Relationships). She will endeavour to respond to any such reasonable written requests as soon as is sensibly practicable and in any event within one month.
If the request for information is manifestly excessive or similar to previous requests, Stable Relationships may ask you to reconsider.
All information requests will be considered on a case by case basis.
We will sometimes have reasons to refuse specific requests such as when it falls within certain legal bases that we need to comply with. In this situation we will respond fully in writing, to the person who has made the request, detailing why we are unable to grant their request, in a timely manner.
The rights under Data Protection Law belong to the individual to whom the data relates. However, as we work predominantly with children and young people, we will often rely on key adult/school/social worker/carer notice to find out about the ways we processes personal data relating to any child or young person who we have worked with.
In cases where we are able to share information with the data subject (or key adult) this will be done either, in writing, or through a formal meeting.
All individuals are required to respect the personal data and privacy of others, and to comply with our Policies and Procedures.
Securing and maintaining data
Stable Relationships will endeavour to ensure that all personal data held in relation to an individual is as up to date and as accurate as possible.
Individuals must please notify us of any significant changes to important information held about them.
Stable Relationships takes appropriate technical and organisational steps to ensure the security of personal data about individuals. These include:
- Computer-Strong passwords, firewall installed & kept up to date, antivirus installed & kept up to date.
- Phones-Strong passwords; short lock out period (if not being used).
- Paper Documents-Stored and locked up
- Best Practice-Not to click on links unless they are a trusted source, not to open documents / attachments unless they are a trusted source, not to ignore warning boxes when surfing, being aware someone is trying to catch your data; turning or logging off from computers and phones when not in use, minimising windows and applications open at one time.
Updates to the policy
Stable Relationships will update this Privacy Policy from time to time, as we do with all our policies. Any substantial changes that affect your rights will be provided to you directly as far as is reasonably practicable.
Questions and Complaints
If an individual wishes to complain about any aspect of our service, including our privacy policy or privacy procedures, please follow Stable Relationships complaint procedure (section 5 of our policies and procedures). Policies and Procedures – Updated May 18
You can also make a referral to, or lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), if your complaints relates to privacy, although the ICO recommends that steps are taken to resolve the matter with us before involving them, as the regulator.
Data Breach Policy
Although we work hard to keep your data secure there is always a risk when collecting and retaining personal data. As a result we need a policy to say what we will do in the unlikely event
that we have a data breach. This policy explains what we will do if that occurs.
What is a personal data breach?
A personal data breach means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal data. This includes
breaches that are the result of both accidental and deliberate causes. It also means that a breach is more than just about losing personal data.
A personal data breach can be broadly defined as a security incident that has affected the confidentiality, integrity or availability of personal data. In short, there will be a personal data
breach whenever any personal data is lost, destroyed, corrupted or disclosed; if someone accesses the data or passes it on without proper authorisation; or if the data is made unavailable, for
example, when it has been encrypted by ransomware, or accidentally lost or destroyed.
If we know a breach has happened we will:
- -Investigate how the breach happened and what actions we can take immediately to minimise current and ongoing risk, and prevent the situation from becoming more serious.
- -Assess the likelihood and severity of risk to the individual rights and freedoms of the people who would be impacted by the breach
If there is a likely risk to those involved we will:
- – Notify the ICO within 72 hours by calling (0303 123 1113) and giving them:
- – A description of the event, including the number of people involved
- – The number of personal data records concerned
- – A description of the possible consequences of the breach
- – A description of the measures taken to deal with the breach
- -Notify the individual(s) concerned ASAP, by contacting them via phone or email and giving them:
- – A description of the event, including the number of people involved
- – The number of personal data records concerned
- – A description of the possible consequences of the breach
- – A description of the measures taken to deal with the breach
Following the notification of the necessary parties, and any initial actions to prevent the breach getting worse, we will:
- -Record the incident and include the following information:
- – The time and date of the breach
- – A description of the event
- – A description of how the event happened
- – A description of any actions taken to remedy the situation and prevent it from getting any worse
- -A description of any future actions that will be taken to prevent another incident occurring
- – Update policies and procedures, as a result of the breach, and associated learning, as needed
- -Inform any relevant parties of the updates and actions taken to prevent another similar incident from happening

Monica Lewis, Actress, Singer, Dies at 93
June 12, 2015
Monica Lewis, a former Benny Goodman vocalist who headlined the very first broadcast of "The Ed Sullivan Show," was the voice of the popular Chiquita Banana cartoons, clowned opposite Jerry Lewis, Red Skelton and Danny Kaye, and had co-starring roles in such films as "Earthquake," "Airport 1975" and "The Concorde — Airport '79," died on June 12 of natural causes at her apartment in Woodland Hills, Calif. She was 93.
Lewis was born in Chicago to a musical family headed by her father Leon Lewis, who was a symphonic composer and conductor. Her mother Jessica sang with the Chicago Opera Company and her sister Barbara was an accomplished classical pianist. Her brother Marlo became head of variety for CBS-TV and created Ed Sullivan's "Toast of the Town" show.
Monica studied voice with her mother from the time she was a toddler, but when the family lost everything during the Depression, they moved to New York to start over. Monica quit school when she was 17, took a job as a radio vocalist to supplement the family's income, and soon had own program on WMCA. This led to her debut at the Stork Club (though she was still too young to drink). In 1943, Benny Goodman's vocalist Peggy Lee eloped with guitarist Dave Barbour, and Goodman was frantically auditioning girls trying to find a replacement. Monica auditioned and got the job, performing with Goodman that same night on national radio. She finished out his New York engagements, but Monica's mother felt she was still too young to go out on the road with the band. She quickly went on to star on such national programs as "Beat The Band" and "The Revere Camera Show," and joined Frank Sinatra as co-star of "The Chesterfield Hour—Music That Satisfies."
In 1945, Lewis was briefly married to Bob Thiele, a former disc jockey who had started a small independent label, Signature Records. She scored a series of hits on Signature including "Put the Blame on Mame," "But Not for Me," "I'm Gonna Be a Bad Girl," and "The House I Live In," and when the company was bought by Decca Records, she continued her string of hits with "A Tree in the Meadow," "The Gentleman Is a Dope" and "The Bluest Kind of Blues."
In 1947 she introduced columnist Ed Sullivan to her brother Marlo and suggested they try to do a variety show for CBS, to complete with Milton Berle's "Texaco Star Theatre" on NBC. The result was "Toast of the Town," which made its debut on June 20, 1948, with Monica headlining alongside composers Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein and the comedy team of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
Records and television led to movies, and in 1950, Monica signed an exclusive contract with MGM for both films and recordings. Groomed by the studio's drama coach Lillian Burns, she was given singing, dancing and acting roles in such films as "Inside Straight" with Barry Sullivan, "The Strip" with Mickey Rooney, "Excuse My Dust" with Red Skelton, and "Everything I Have Is Yours," in which she got to dance with Gower Champion. Later film credits included "Affair With a Stranger" with Victor Mature and Jean Simmons and "The D.I." with Jack Webb.
In 1951, Lewis toured the front lines of Korea with Danny Kaye. Upon her return, she signed with Capitol Records, scoring a hit with "Autumn Leaves."
She also began a 14-year campaign as the voice of Chiquita Banana, a popular series of musical cartoons that were shown in movie theaters, and soon the entire country was singing along to "You should never put bananas in the refrigerator—No No, No No!"
Lewis had celebrated romances with Ronald Reagan (with whom she appears in the photo above), Kirk Douglas and writer Liam O'Brien. In 1956, she met and married widowed MCA/Universal production executive Jennings Lang, putting her own career on hold in order to become mother to his two young sons, Robert and Michael, whom she adopted. They were soon joined by a third son, Rocky, now a successful screenwriter, producer-director and author. The Langs also opened their Beverly Hills home for a series of major political and charitable causes, playing host to an array of notables that included Sen. Ted Kennedy, Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand and the Beatles (who performed a benefit show in their backyard).
As the children grew older, Lewis began accepting guest-star roles on such popular TV shows as "Wagon Train, "Night Gallery," "The Virginian," "Marcus Welby, M.D.," "Remington Steele," "Ironside" and "Falcon Crest." She also made cameo appearances in several of her husband's films, in order to accompany him on location: "Earthquake" with Charlton Heston and Ava Gardner, "Charley Varrick" with Walter Matthau, "Nunzio," "The Sting II" and the disaster epics "Rollercoaster," "Airport 1975" and "The Concorde—Airport '79".
She resumed her singing career in 1985, with appearances at such popular clubs as the Vine St. Bar and Grill and Hollywood Roosevelt Cinegrill in Los Angeles, and Danny's Skylight Room in New York. She also recorded several new albums, including "My Favorite Things," "Monica Lewis Swings Jule Styne," and "Never Let Me Go." Following her husband's death in 1996, she recorded a tribute album tracing their 40-year marriage, entitled "Why Did I Choose You?"
In 2014, she was approached by filmmaker Ned McNeilage to be among the veteran performers profiled in his documentary short "Showfolk," and she found herself back on the bigscreen at age 92. The film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York and went on to win awards on the festival circuit, including the Los Angeles Film Festival and the Palm Springs Film Festival, with Lewis usually taking a bow. In January 2015, she appeared at the Million Dollar Theatre with a screening of "Earthquake" for Vintage Los Angeles.
Lewis is survived by sons Rocky and Mike (the noted jazz pianist) and three grandchildren.

Discipline: Political Science
Theory of revolution of the Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky (1879-1940).
Socialist revolution and the overthrow of capitalism will only be complete when they are worldwide. There should therefore be no pause in revolutionary activity simply because power has been seized in a single country.
This theory is thus opposed to that of socialism in one country.

On the PBS Newshour tonight, there was a report about Mali. Some group calling itself Al-Qaida and the Tuareg, have taken over the northern part of the country.
If Al Quieda was not enough, the Tuareg are in on it; they are modern day slave holders.
This is not good.
Perhaps our CIA is busy — maybe the African Union will take notice. No wonder one of my student's mother told her not to come home — that was more than a year ago.
I can only hope someone in the State Department is doing something.

Yes, those who proclaim their Christianity behave similarly, no matter where you find them. In Egypt, Christians pelt Hilliary with tomatoes and shout the name "Monica." It doesn't even make sense. Our government is supporting all Egyptians, not just one group. And how is Monica Hillary's fault?
Of course, this behavior comes as no surprise. Our local Christians aren't much better.
But this behavior comes despite the outreach to the Egyptian Christians.
In the end, it is always the same: religion is a club — in both ways — one to belong to and one with which to pound others who are not in your club.

I'm sure all of the chicken-hawks crowing about Marines and their guns are fully behind Dick Cheney finding Canada too dangerous to visit.
Nonprofit technology that actually helps studenst around the world and is supportive of teachers is more beneficial and popular than Barbara Bush's son's software.
We actually had a Bush family mole in our program while we ill-advisedly were trying to get a government language project back in 2006. The mole left claiming he had cancer. He didn't as we found out later.
