I routinely see patients whose lives have been ruined by opioid painkillers — drugs like morphine, oxycodone and hydromorphone. Most of these patients started with back pain or arthritis; others were given a month's worth of pills after surgery and simply continued taking them.
With the passage of time, patients can become physically dependent on these drugs, and some end up on doses so high the drugs have paradoxically made their pain worse. Many physicians do not realize what pain specialists know all too well: high doses of opioids can actually worsen pain, a condition called opioid-induced hyperalgesia. I've seen countless patients who started opioids for back or hip pain, but after months or years of progressively higher doses find that their pain is everywhere. Sometimes, they wince when I take their hand.
This is just one reason people should appreciate that drugs like oxycodone and morphine can be dangerous. No one sets out to become dependent on these drugs, but few patients realize how fast it can happen. If you're going to take opioids for pain, especially chronic pain, it's essential to discuss with your physician what the goals of therapy are, and how long you can expect to be on them. Unlike other painkillers, it can be very difficult to stop taking opioids, even after their analgesic effects have waned.
There is a growing appreciation that the role of opioids in our management of pain needs to change. In North America, roughly 200,000 people have died from opioids over the past 20 years, and millions more grapple with addiction and other health problems. Opioids disproportionately claim the lives of young people in the prime of life, many of whom simply fall asleep and don't wake up. In a recent study conducted at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, my colleagues and I found that one of every eight deaths among Ontarians aged 25 to 34 is now opioid-related. This is a staggering, tragic statistic.
Other available medications don't lead to dependence or addiction, but they have their own side effects and aren't appropriate in certain patients. Too often, we overlook the role of non-drug therapies. For example, exercise can be a valuable intervention for patients with fibromyalgia, and weight loss can often improve low back pain or the pain of osteoarthritis. For some patients, medicinal cannabis may even be an option. It's not without its own side effects, but in the right patient and dosed judiciously, it can improve quality of life while avoiding the dangerous side effects of other painkillers.
Perhaps the most important suggestion is to be realistic about what pain medicines can accomplish. We live in a society that offers a pill for almost every ailment. Unfortunately, our tool box of medicines for pain is limited, and all of the drugs we might prescribe carry significant side effects. Much harm has been done by the over-prescribing of pain medicine. For some patients, the treatment becomes worse than the disease.
At the core of this discussion is a simple principle of medical practice: A drug's benefits should always exceed the risks, ideally by a large margin. Prescribed judiciously and with an appreciation for their toxicities, opioids can be appropriate for carefully selected patients with chronic pain. For others, however, the benefits decrease with time but the side effects do not. Frequently, this leads to an increase in dose, and the harms begin to mount. This should be acceptable to no one.
We need safer, more effective treatments for pain. Until we have them, everyone — doctors and patients alike — should approach long-term opioid therapy with caution

What to ask your care provider
When it comes to medicines for pain, what are the various options? What are the expected benefits of this medicine? Should I take this regularly, or only when I have pain? How and when will we judge whether it has helped? What are the expected side effects of this medicine? Is there any aspect of my medical or family history that makes this drug especially risky for me? Is it safe to take this drug with my other medications? What about alcohol?

Congratulations for the new job or the promotion! With this new job, your career is getting a headstart. But have you figured out everything before relocating for a job?
There are people who say yes to relocation in a blink of an eye while there are people who are scared with the idea of leaving their cocoon.
Moving for a new job brings along a big change, which can be wearying even when you are moving for your dream job. You need to get a new driver's license, get rid of old utilities, get new ones, search for a new place, sell your current one, and of course, the act of packing, moving, and unpacking. Even reading it is exhausting so imagine doing it.
Here are some things that you should figure out before relocating for a job and before you start packing your bags:
Making sure that the job is a terrific fit
Before giving a nod to the moving for a new job, you need to make sure that the job that is bringing the big change is a perfect fit for you. It makes no sense to move for a job which you'll leave within few months. You need to also see if the company which you are moving for is concerned about you and is willing to assist you with the relocation. You don't want to move for an organization that is least concerned about you from the very beginning. Also, analyze if the company is financially stable, don't move for a startup which is surviving on VC money or has lower revenues.
Considering your family and relationship
If you are single, you have a lot more flexibility because your moving decision affects only your life. But when you are in a relationship or are married or have kids, you have to think about your partner and your children before you take the big decision. Talk to your partner and see if they can get a job in the new location, or if they are really happy with their current one. If you get it figured out, you're good to go.
Visit the city before moving
Before you take that big step of relocating for a job, visit the city to know the place in a better way. The Internet has all the photos and maps, but visiting will give you an idea if you get along with the vibe of the new place. If you have a colleague who has already relocated to that place, ask him if the place is suitable and if the weather is good enough. You need to know if the job relocation will lead you to a better life.

Longevity Meme Newsletter, November 10 2008
November 10 2008
The Longevity Meme Newsletter is a weekly e-mail containing news, opinions and happenings for people interested in healthy life extension: making use of diet, lifestyle choices, technology and proven medical advances to live healthy, longer lives.
- Investigating Mitochondrial Uncoupling
- The Slow Diffusing of Transhumanist Ideals
- Linking Inflammation and Parkinson's Disease
- Discussion
- Latest Healthy Life Extension Headlines
As researchers seek the mechanisms by which natural longevity varies due to circumstances of diet and exercise, the process of mitochondrial uncoupling has attracted attention:
"Mitochondrial uncoupling is much as it sounds; a feedback mechanism in which processing of food within mitochondria is disconnected from ATP production; energy from food goes elsewhere, as heat for example. Because this affects free radical production, it seems to be important in tissue aging."
But the picture remains unclear. Studies show that uncoupling appears to increase during the practice of calorie restriction, but that inducing greater uncoupling through genetic engineering only seems to increase average life span in laboratory animals - unlike calorie restriction, which increases maximum life span as well. To add to the mystery, a drug that increases uncoupling does actually increase maximum life span in mice. It is unclear as to why one method produces different results from another.
Here we have a process emblematic of the state of calorie restriction research at the present time: scientists are documenting numerous mechanisms that show promise for engineered longevity, each discovered while investigating calorie restriction with the tools of modern biotechnology, but which are not yet fully understood.
Transhumanists organize and support many of the most interesting young initiatives of this new century. Some will go on to be the behemoths in their fields in years to come:
"If you look around at the serious efforts to make progress in longevity science or other means of postponing permanent death, you'll find members of the transhumanist community involved and amongst the most vocal supporters: the Methuselah Foundation; Alcor and the Cryonics Institute; the Immortality Institute. Similarly in the fields of strong artificial intelligence and advanced nanotechnology - organizations like the Singularity Institute, the Future of Humanity Institute and the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology are outgrowths of the transhumanist community of the 80s and 90s. Collectively these organizations and others have raised tens of millions of dollars over the years.
"All of these ideals - bioengineering, the defeat of aging, enormously lengthened healthy life spans, artificial beings, molecular manufacturing, and much more - will come to pass. Too many people are thinking about these goals now for any but the impossible to vanish from the horizon. It's just a question of when it all comes to pass - which is a very big question when it comes to the development of medical technologies that can rescue us from aging to death. Soon enough, or too late? What are you doing to help things along?"
More good reasons to try to reduce your burden of chronic inflammation:
"Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have elevated levels of the protein called alpha-synuclein in their brains. As the protein clumps, or aggregates, the resulting toxicity causes the death of neurons that produce the brain chemical dopamine. Consequently, nerves and muscles that control movement and coordination are destroyed. It looks possible that the reason behind all this clumping synuclein is chronic inflammation - that catch-all bugbear that appears to contribute to all the major diseases and degenerations of aging."
There exists more than enough evidence to demonstrate that chronic inflammation is bad for your health and longevity, even if this proposed link to Parkinson's is refuted. Making life choices to minimize inflammation as best you can seems a sensible response to the research findings amassed to date:
The highlights and headlines from the past week follow below.

The Most Important Research (November 07 2008)
From the ExchangeMorning Post, a statist, public funding viewpoint on longevity science: "Learning how to turn back time - or at least how to slow the aging process - may be more important for improving our overall health than the discovery of a cure for cancer ... there are real, tangible benefits, for society as well as individuals, to slowing down the aging process. 'By extending the life span, people would remain in the workforce longer, personal income and savings would increase, age entitlement programs would face less pressure from shifting demographics, and national economies would flourish' ... almost half of the current population over 75 years old is limited in their activity by chronic conditions, with costs to society set to rise dramatically ... Given the current predicament we face, we can't ignore the call to tackle aging more aggressively. To those who ask: 'Can we really afford to invest more in such research?' we can reply: 'Can we really afford not to tackle aging?' ... the greatest obstacle will be convincing the general public that slowing the aging process is both feasible and deserving of a larger share of the funds available for scientific research."
An Overview of Cryonics (November 07 2008)
A good article on cryonics from Engineering and Technology: "The field of cryonics, which made its debut in the 1960s, continues to push the envelope and search for a solution to death. The process consists of preserving legally dead humans or pets at very low temperature (below -130C) in the hope that future science can restore them to life, youth, and health. ...The advancement of medicine and science is so much faster than it used to be. Science fiction is becoming science fact on a daily basis. All of a sudden, cryonics doesn't look quite so far-fetched. ... Most cryonicists believe reanimations will occur within 50 to 100 years for those currently being cryopreserved. ... Within that time frame, virtually all current diseases should be curable and elderly people can probably be rejuvenated to a youthful condition. ... With full disclosures and signed consent, [cryonics] is highly ethical. When you think about the grand scheme of things, cryonics is a lot more conservative than burial or conventional cremation. ... Tissue preserved at the temperature of liquid nitrogen does not deteriorate, even after centuries of storage. Therefore, if current medical technology can't keep us alive, we can instead choose to be preserved in liquid nitrogen, with the expectation that future medical technology should be able to reverse any cryopreservation injury and restore good health. If sceptics don't want to pursue this area, that's fine, but I ask them not to interfere with my own efforts to save the lives of myself and the people I love."
Cells as Vectors For Targeted Therapies (November 06 2008)
The possibilities of bioengineering are endless, and one of the most energetic branches of the research community is involved in developing methods of precisely targeting therapies: "MIT engineers have outfitted cells with tiny 'backpacks' that could allow them to deliver chemotherapy agents, diagnose tumors or become building blocks for tissue engineering. ... The polymer backpacks allow researchers to use cells to ferry tiny cargoes and manipulate their movements using magnetic fields. Since each patch covers only a small portion of the cell surface, it does not interfere with the cell's normal functions or prevent it from interacting with the external environment. ... researchers worked with B and T cells, two types of immune cells that can home to various tissues in the body, including tumors, infection sites, and lymphoid tissues - a trait that could be exploited to achieve targeted drug or vaccine delivery. ... The researchers found that T cells with backpacks were able to perform their normal functions, including migrating across a surface, just as they would without anything attached. By loading the backpacks with magnetic nanoparticles, the researchers can control the cells' movement with a magnetic field."
Towards a Rejuvenated Thymus (November 06 2008)
One approach to the issue of declining naive T-cells with age - and consequence failure of the immune system - is to boost production by manipulating the thymus: "a key gene may be crucial to maintaining the production of the thymus and its disease-fighting T-cells after an animal's birth. The discovery could help scientists find out how to turn the thymus back on so it could produce T-cells long after it normally shuts down most of its function, which, for humans, occurs by early adulthood. If the finding leads to further ways to manipulate the gene, the result could be a new avenue for the body to fight disease more effectively as the body ages. ... Such things as infectious diseases, inflammation and heart problems are all related to immune response. You don't have to think far to see how understanding the effect of this gene could affect the quality of life for older people and others as well. ... If [physicians] were able selectively to turn T-cell production back on, then many diseases that currently afflict older people could become manageable if not, in cases, entirely absent."
Boosting the Aging Immune System (November 05 2008)
Many research groups are working on ways to boost the effectiveness of an exhausted immune system - due to either chronic viral infection or aging - without necessarily aiming to address the root causes: "In contrast to most normal somatic cells, which show little or no telomerase activity, immune cells up-regulate telomerase in concert with activation. Nevertheless, during aging and chronic HIV-1 infection, there are high proportions of dysfunctional [immune cells] with short telomeres ... exposure of CD8(+) T lymphocytes from HIV-infected human donors to a small molecule telomerase activator (TAT2) modestly retards telomere shortening, increases proliferative potential, and, importantly, enhances cytokine/chemokine production and antiviral activity. The enhanced antiviral effects were abrogated in the presence of a potent and specific telomerase inhibitor, suggesting that TAT2 acts primarily through telomerase activation. Our study is the first to use a pharmacological telomerase-based approach to enhance immune function."
How Inflammation Causes Cancer (November 05 2008)
Chronic inflammation, a source of age-related cellular and molecular damage, is linked to most of the common age-related conditions. It might be thought of as a form of rust that hastens the failure of the machinery. Here, researchers show how inflammation causes one specific form of cancer: "evated levels of a single proinflammatory cytokine, an immune system protein called interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta), can start the progression towards stomach cancer. ... accumulation of IL-1beta, which is induced by infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in the gastrointestinal tract, is a significant contributor to the onset of stomach cancer ... We show in this study that IL-1beta works by activating a type of white blood cell known as myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which in our study appeared to be strongly pro-inflammatory. Blocking IL-1beta or the myeloid (MDSCs) cells may represent a potential strategy to prevent stomach cancer ... these findings help to explain why only a small percentage of those with H. pylori infection go onto develop stomach cancer - a genetic predisposition for high expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines." So a ugly feedback loop of accelerating inflammation and damage is kicked off by an initial event and predisposition to reach the threshold that will activate that loop.
After Resveratrol, SRT1720 (November 04 2008)
From EurekAlert!: "A drug designed to specifically hit a protein linked to the life-extending benefits of a meager diet can essentially trick the body into believing food is scarce even when it isn't .. SRT1720, which acts through the protein SIRT1, enhances running endurance in exercised mice and protects the animals against weight gain and insulin resistance even when they eat a high-fat diet, the researchers report. The drug works by shifting the metabolism to a fat-burning mode that normally takes over only when energy levels are low. ... It also helps lay to rest a long-standing controversy in the scientific world over the metabolic benefits of [resveratrol]. Resveratrol also acts on SIRT1, but its influence on other metabolic actors had left room to question exactly how it works. .. There has been a lot of controversy in the field about resveratrol action. We find that the majority of the biology of resveratrol can be ascribed to SIRT1. ... While SIRT1 might not explain all of resveratrol's effects, the new results suggest that the central metabolic protein is responsible for about '80 percent of the picture.'" Which suggests that resveratrol and SRT1720 are not capturing all of the biochemical benefits of calorie restriction.
Posts Wanted For Hourglass V (November 04 2008)
The fifth Hourglass blog carnival on aging and longevity science draws near - remember to send in your submissions. "Hourglass is a monthly blog carnival devoted to biogerontology. Its main purpose is to provide a regular showcase for the growing number of excellent blog posts about the biology of aging. We are soliciting entries in the general subject area of aging and biogerontology: Topics of posts should have something to do with the biology of aging, broadly speaking - including fundamental research in biogerontology, age-related disease, ideas about life extension technologies, your personal experience with calorie restriction, maybe even something about the sociological implications of increased longevity. Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the management, so feel free to subvert the dominant paradigm. If in doubt, submit anyway. ... Just about the only sorts of things we'll turn away are quackery and promotions of commercial products (including brazenly for-profit websites of no redeeming scientific value). So, no growth hormone commercials or glowing reviews of your own book, please. ... Submissions should be emailed to [hourglass.host][at][gmail][dot][com]."
Incremental Improvements in Scaffolding (November 03 2008)
From the MIT Technology Review: "Engineering heart tissue presents particularly tough problems for researchers, since the heart is an active organ ... scaffolds designed for other kinds of tissues did not have the right mechanical properties for heart tissue. Heart tissue must be flexible enough to change shape as the heart contracts, but also strong enough to withstand the intense forces generated by these contractions. ... The researchers designed the scaffold to encourage cells to align themselves in the same direction to better mimic this property of natural heart muscle tissue. Using a laser cutting technique, they created a pattern of oblong holes in the polymer; the result is a flexible, honeycomb-like structure that is stiffer in one direction than another. ... just as rowers line up in one direction to propel a boat forward, 'all the heart muscle cells in a given region have to be lined up and contracting in the same direction' in order for the heart to beat efficiently. The honeycomb-like scaffold [represents] a 'substantial jump' toward that goal ... If we had a biodegradable biomaterial, which had beating heart cells, we might be able to return function to [damaged parts] of the heart."
A General Interest Calorie Restriction Article (November 03 2008)
As the science advances, these articles get more positive. Recall the ridicule heaped upon the practice of calorie restriction even just a few years ago. "Some people are doing it strictly to enhance longevity. Others do it to avoid age-related disease, or because they already have diabetes, high cholesterol or clogged arteries and want to clean up their bodies by using diet. ... In rich countries, 90 percent of the population probably eats, on average, about 50 percent too much. ven if they were to reduce their calorie intake by half, they would still only be at baseline ... A wealth of scientific evidence has confirmed that maintaining that balance helps prevent type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. But experiments with both animals and humans have also shown that pushing one's calorie intake 10 to 20 percent below that baseline threshold -- without lowering nutrients -- may provide additional health advantages. ... Will this add 10 years to your life? Nobody knows. But one thing is sure -- calorie restriction will help you reach your maximum lifespan potential, which is different for all of us depending on our genetic profile."

It's been difficult to figure out how to write about the tragedy caused by Elliot Rodger. I try to find some point of compassion as I analyze the meta-picture and unpack events, and Elliot makes that very difficult. Elliot's own words dehumanize women, turning them into objects without individual souls, and so it's very hard not to dehumanize him back. But then I remembered a conversation I was privy to back in my college days. In this conversation I saw how Elliot's views were not so much a cause, but a symptom of a larger problem. Because in that conversation, I saw men suffering from a related frustration, but who took their pain in the exact opposite direction. The difference was that they didn't want to kill others, rather they were looking to kill themselves. But like Elliot, they were looking for ways to go out in a blaze of glory.
The blaze of glory fantasies the men produced in this conversation focused around trying to figure out how to die a hero. They searched for the child in the road whom they could save at the last minute from a speeding car, getting hit themselves in the process. They sought that random bullet they could take so they could trade their lives for that of a random stranger. I also came to understand the level of pain that produced the desire for these glorious suicides: each of those men were forced to question their own masculinity in life, but a blaze of glory would forever seal their honor as men in death. One of those men was sexually assaulted for years by a family friend. One of those men was beaten throughout his childhood by his mother. One of those men had his high school sweet heart come out while they were dating, and while he understood and accepted her orientation on a conscious level, there was an unconscious fear that he had an inherent flaw that drove her away from men. And one of these men was bullied and mocked throughout his life, both at home and school. Like Elliot, each of these men was made to feel like they were less masculine, less deserving to be seen as men. The difference was that where Elliot took that shame and aimed it outwards to murder others, these men turned that shame inwards to fantasies of murdering themselves.
And before you belittle these fantasies as just that, I should also point out that these blaze of glory fantasies would serve as the gateway to more direct suicidal plans. When they realized they were willing to die one way, they were willing to die other ways when the pain became too much.
"I'm only alive today because the beam in the garage I tried to hang myself on didn't support my weight" I recall being told.
"I don't know how many nights I sat with a knife to my wrist debating if I should just make the cuts" another one said.
So as we explore what made Elliot a killer, I will be using that conversation and those men as the point of compassion. If you can't bring yourself to care about the forces that turned Elliot into the man he was (and that is an understandable anger for you to have) look to those other men to help you care about the problems that need to be addressed.
The problem originates in that humans are social creatures. Because we are social creatures, part of our identities and sense of worth are dependent on our various social roles. We have economic roles, we have family roles, we have community roles, and we have gender roles, to name a few. The way these roles are defined comes from a complex interplay of social pressures and personal beliefs. When a person cannot meet these roles, it creates a threat to his ability to be part of the greater society. When a person cannot meet these roles, it threatens his connections with others. This terrifies us on a fundamental level. In people, the common reaction to such a threat of disconnection is to feel shame. And this process, which starts in an inability to fill a role and ends in overwhelming shame, is commonly defined as "role strain."
Role strain has been connected to many societal problems. When analyzing the connections between wealth inequality and crime in his book The Spirit Level, Richard Wilkinson pointed towards economic role strain as the mechanisms that leads people into crime. When social worth is based on consumerism, the inability to be a good consumer and provide for others leads to a shame that can lead predictably to stealing to make up for the missing status symbols, or to externalizing their shame into interpersonal violence. Gender roles strain has been connected to a whole host of social problems including domestic violence, sexual assault, and homophobia. When a man holds a rigid definition of his masculinity, not having absolute control over his wife and children, being rejected sexually, or the threat to the gender hierarchy present in heterosexual relationships leads to a feeling of threat that gets answered with violence.
Firearms mix into the equation because of the power they represent to the threatened male. Modern gun culture hides behind ideas of "defense," but realistically, the types of firearms that they strongly defend (high caliber, high firing rates, high capacity clips, etc) are unnecessary in any realistic defense scenario. Unless you are expecting a small army to descend on you, there is no need for the kind of firepower people are flaunting today. But when the threat is not physical, when it is a threat to identity, the threat always escalates with the imagination of the one threatened, and so there is no upper limit to the power needed to feel safe again. As a result, gun fantasies blend with hyper-masculine themes, whether it is the magazines pairing firearms with sexualized women, male leads in movies armed with the biggest weapons available, internet memes featuring men controlling their daughter's sexuality with a gun (it is the daughter's decision to give or not to give consent afterall) and video game after video game is made that rewards points for each person shot. Threaten this ideal, and you get people who will bend over backwards to explain why tools designed for increased lethality aren't lethal, ask a person why they need to possess such high powered weapons (especially when crime is declining) and they will give responses ranging from a list of reasons to be terrified to statements of unrestrained entitlement, and when you point out that you are more likely to die from the gun in your home than to ever use it for defense, they will tell you all the reasons they are the exception. They won't admit their real motivation for wanting their ever increasing firepower, they won't admit it to themselves.
The consequences of this mix are being seen today. Gender role strain plus firearms results in five times the domestic violence fatalities. When role strain leads to depression, the addition of the lethality of the added firearm drastically increases the likelihood of a deadly conclusion to the suicide attempt.
And when the person is so threatened that he feels the need to take back his power in a way that cannot be challenged, you have the blaze of glory.
What do we do?
Currently, the trend to answer the violence and misogyny is to attack the entitlement that has become characteristic of those compensating from the gender role strain. This response is understandable, as anger is a natural reaction to the dehumanizations that these men commit. The problem is, for the man who has a rigid gender concept in a struggle to define his masculinity that includes attacking others, there is no reason to care what a woman or man who isn't "man enough" thinks. The discussion is disconnected, and you have the offended party shouting at the offenders, and the offenders not giving a damn because reclaiming their identity is the dominant drive.
Instead, the real task needs to be to start pushing a new narrative on masculinity. When we began the much needed discourse on feminism, we forgot to have a corresponding movement on masculinism. When we began to accept the changing definition of what it means to be a woman in society, we neglected to have a conversation on how the definition of manhood needed to change along side. As a result, men have had to choose between regressing to the old but well known identities, or venturing into the unknown and creating a new identity on their own. The political misogyny, the "Men's Rights" groups, and the idiocy from the mouths of many pundits that you see today is the response to this lack of adaptation. These stances, after all, are about returning to the older, regressed, but more comfortably known roles where the man is defined as the bread winning dominator, and the woman is the obedient mate/mother (Ever wonder why there is such a frenzy about abortion? Banning abortion punishes women for not taking up that motherhood role). We have had partial discussions, but the truth is these have been small whispers projected against a cacophony of screams endorsing the older regressed ideals. And we just can't talk about this, we have to back up our ideas with real, environment changing actions. We need to find new role models to act as guides, but we also need to endorse them over the old, regressed ideals when we consume our media. We need to not only to define the new enlighten male, but we also need to make sure we support those males in their vulnerability, even when we are the ones who are injuring them. We just can't tell men what not to do, but we also need to guide them to develop the skills to make them realistically assertive, powerful, and successful.
Because the alternative is frustration, shame, and a loss of manhood that can only be regained in a blaze of glory.

Provencal Artisan Traditions Fabrics and Lavender Fuseaux
Contributor blog post by Nutmeg:
The bright tablecloths and matching napkins that you see in most Provencal markets make for wonderful gifts, even if you keep them for yourself. Although today, many of these patterns are fabricated in factories, and not always in France (buyer beware) there is a strong tradition of textile printing in Provence. The history of Indian fabrics in the region began with fabric imports in the late 16th century. The brightly coloured, patterned cloths were cherished when they first arrived. French production of East Indian-inspired patterns started in Marseille in 1648. Read more about the Souleiado fabric museum in Tarascon here.
Lavender has been a mainstay in Provence since the time of the Romans, who were already convinced of the plant's beneficial qualities. During the peak of the lavender season (summer), you might be fortunate enough to stumble across someone in a market creating traditional lavender fuseaux. If so, make sure to stock up, this 18-century artisan craft – they are beautiful and last forever… Continue reading here for more information about the lavender fuseaux shaped like a baby's rattle.

| 12°C Dublin
EILEEN Lovett was all excited about buying her new 2010- registered car.
Almost as excited as when she bought her first one -- a mere 80 or so years ago.
Loyalty knows no bounds for her. This was her 23rd new Ford.
It was a little different this time, though.
She bought it for her daughter.
Eileen, originally Eileen Lydon from Clifden, Co Galway, thinks it's time she handed over the keys to someone else.
Born in November 1911, she turns 99 this year and has fond and vivid memories of all her cars down through the years.
She has bought 23 new cars from the same Galway outlet since 1929. Her 23rd is a 2010 Focus.
It is hard to imagine today, but Eileen began driving when just aged 12 in her home town of Clifden, where her family ran a bakery.
She was still at primary school when she undertook her first drive in 1923 after her mother asked her to collect some butter in the bakery van.
By the time she was 17 she had decided to buy her first car.
Back then, the dealership was Higgins Garage in Galway (it went on to become Motorpark). The 14.9 Ford model cost IR£198.
Eileen recalls how much she loved it from the first day she drove it.
And drive it she did. It clocked up thousands of miles with Eileen behind the wheel as she delivered goods from the bakery to schools around Galway and beyond.
Two years later she went to Dublin to train as a nurse in Jervis Street hospital. All through her long career in nursing, Eileen always went back to the same dealership to buy a new car. Now that's loyalty.
She can still rattle off the name and type of all the 22 Fords she owned.
Not alone that but she can tell you the registration number of each as well.
As she looks at the picture of herself and her car from 1930 she says: "That was the first 14.9 Ford that came into Galway that WP Higgins sold to me. The photograph was taken in June. Twelve months later I traded that one in and I got a new one."
And another one, and another one.
"I could give you a list of every single one of them, registration numbers and all, but I would have to sit down to write them."

Licensing and franchising
You will learn
- What the difference between licensing and franchising is
- What are the pros to developing your business in this way
- Where you can go for more support
If you're interested in becoming a franchise, you're essentially allowing someone else to open a business and sell your products or services using your brand. For example, Subway are a franchise business, meaning that a business owner can open a subway sandwich shop and sell Subway sandwiches. This means that you can have another shop run by someone else so you don't have to spread yourself to thin. You keep lots of control over the operations and processes of the new business, and take a percentage of the profits.
If you're looking to license your business, you lose a bit of this control. You sell your brand, designs and processes to usually smaller businesses for them to use. Microsoft Office is a great example of licensing, you buy their programmes and use it for your own purposes. It can be really great for your business though, because you can significantly increase the number of people who use your product or service and make bigger profits.
Licensing and franchising are both forms of selling your intellectual property: your products, how they're made, the service levels and training employees need to have, how your shops are decorated and set out to name just a few. You might not realise just how many assets you have in your business.
There are lots of reasons why you'd consider expanding your business through licensing or franchising:
Sharing risk
You'll being making profits from the person you've sold your intellectual property to without having to deal with the financial risks of manufacturing, promoting and selling your product.
However, if you're looking to develop new products or services, the person who's using your franchise or license won't need to worry about the risks associated with creating and marketing these. The risks are shared between you and your licensee or franchise owner.
Bigger profits and more customers
As the owner of your product or service, you'll be focused on your target market to ensure you're making a profit. If you branch out with a franchise or a license, you can increase the amount of profit you receive as your licensee or franchise owner can make profit from a market elsewhere. For example, if you run and own a bakery in Northallerton, someone else could open a bakery with your name and recipes in Selby to increase the number of people buying your products.
Reducing costs
Instead of selling your licenses, you could buy one from another business. Spending money to save money seems a little strange, but buying the right to use a more efficient production process will make your operations more cost effective and save you money in the long term.
Saving time
You could get your products or services to market faster by buying a license from another business. This means that by buying a production license from another business, you don't have to spend the time and money developing your own when an effective method already exists. You don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Become more competitive
If you can license or franchise your product or service, you can increase the number of customers who have access to them and increase your profits. You can then use the extra money to develop new ideas and beat your competition.
Further resources
The Intellectual Property Office is the best place for you to go when thinking about protecting your business. They have loads of great resources and lots of their advice is free.
You can attend their free events and workshops to learn all about your rights.
Their Youtube channel is full of really useful short videos which explain the basics.
You can access the IP health check tool completely free to see what you need to think about when protecting your business.

Benefits of Dingo Hire Services
With people becoming more and more dependent on technology, almost every individual now appears to be on the lookout for easier ways to get things done. The same applies to contractors and homeowners who want to get some or the other kind of construction work done in an effortless manner. Dingo mini digger proves to be a very useful and versatile machine for such people. However, it does not make sense to purchase such an expensive machine, especially when you need it for temporary work. This is where the role of dingo hire services comes into play.
There are some companies these days which are now offering Dingo mini diggers for rent. This has made things a lot simpler for all those homeowners and small scale factory owners who just cannot afford to purchase such expensive machines. Moreover, such a purchase also does not make sense to people who need it for temporary work such as trenching, leveling and other excavation related tasks.
By contacting Dingo hire services, such people can get all these tasks done at rates which are fraction of what they would have otherwise spent on the machine's purchase. All you need to do is just give them a call and the machine will be delivered right to your doorstep at your chosen time and day. One of the major benefits of such services is that you can hire them for any length of time you want, whether it is for just a few hours, the entire day or multiple days.
Such companies also provide onsite training so that you can learn to operate the machine like a professional in quick time. And in case you are not too sure about the idea of operating the machine all on your own, you can hire a driver along with Dingo. However, you will be required to pay some additional but nominal charges for such services.

Could This Be Proof of Reincarnation? | Collective-Evolution
Is reincarnation what happens to us when we die? Could this story being showing us the possibility of carrying memory and emotional attachments from one life to the next?
The story is about a little boy who vividly remembers a previous incarnation of being a soldier in World War II and how he had died. From the information provided, it is difficult to say how else the boy would have known the information he shares without actually having remembered it.
Interestingly, the boy also talks about how he remembers choosing the family that he incarnated with in his current lifetime, something that is a common claim amongst people who have had near death experiences and who have been regressed in the stages after death.
All in all this only shares a piece of anecdotal evidence to suggest reincarnation is what happens when we die. Of course, scientifically no one can…

Fracking Nightmare with Ian R Crane 9PM monday {uk time}
Did NY Gov's Office Edit 'Politically Inconvenient' Findings of Fracking Study?
Published on Monday, October 06, 2014 by Common DreamsInternal government documents show how state officials may have tried "to mitigate any political complication" the research may have caused for Governor Andrew Cuomo's gas drilling policies by Lauren McCauley, staff writer
The administration of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo altered and delayed the findings of a key federal fracking study commissioned by the state, according to a review of internal government documents published on Monday.
An original draft of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) study, obtained and reported on by the Albany newspaper Capital, reportedly contained descriptions of environmental and health risks posed by the shale gas drilling technique. However, following "extensive" email communication between the USGS representatives, study authors and state officials—also obtained in "heavily redacted form" through a Freedom of Information Act request—those details were either "played down or removed" from the final published report.

The Moringa tree is not known as the miracle tree for small benefits. The tree, native to Africa and parts of India, has more health benefits than almost any other natural occurring substance. The whole tree has uses for health, as well as other, benefits. There are not many things in this world that come to close to perfect as the Moringa tree. It is even being used in less fortunate areas in the world to help aid the recovery from malnutrition. The results are great! When I said the whole tree can be used, I wasn't exaggerating. The bark can be used to aid the in the healing of cuts, the roots can be made into a healthy tea, the leaves can be used for innumerable things, and the seeds/seed oil can be used for cooking and perfume. This article isn't long enough to list all of the benefits of the tree however!
Here are the top 5 health benefits of the Moringa tree:
1. Essential Amino Acids – Many plants and trees lack all of the essential amino acids in their protein, which make them incomplete proteins and not as beneficial as proteins found in things like chicken and fish. That is a let down of being a vegetarian or a vegan. Luckily for them, and other people lacking in complete protein intake, the Moringa tree products contain all of the essential amino acids.
2. Antioxidants – Antioxidants fight off free radicals, which can cause cancer and a more aged look to your body. Since antioxidants are so important to health, it is only natural that the miracle tree contains over 45 antioxidants in all!
3. Vitamins & Minerals – The leaf of the Moringa tree boasts high numbers of vitamins and minerals. It has 7 times more Vitamin C than an orange. It has 3 times as much potassium as a banana. The carrot is usually the face of Vitamin A, the Moringa tree boasts 4 times more. That is not the only vitamins and minerals it has in it however. It is also very rich in iron and calcium.
4. Natural Energy – In this day and age, natural energy is not something that most people look into. Most of the popular energy supplements are unhealthy and contain synthetic chemicals. Of course, the Moringa pulls off another miracle by boosting energy without any sugar at all! It is great for a sugar free metabolism boost, which is perfect for losing weight.
5. Overall Health – This isn't one thing that the Moringa tree can do. Instead, this is the list of what it can help with in your overall body. It serves as an anti-inflammatory, a cholesterol regulator, it's great defender against migraines, detoxification agent, a digestion support product, and a blood sugar regulator. I don't think there is anything else in the world naturally occurring that can stand up to what the Moringa supplement can do!
If you are wanting to take a venture in the world of natural health, Moringa should be at the top of your list. It can perform miracles! That is why the nickname of the miracle tree is so perfect! If you have any health situation, serious or minor, it will probably aid in the recovery. Definitely don't miss out on the Moringa tree and its supplements!

Rebirth of the Liberty
Tyler- The Liberty Theater in Tyler opened its doors during the 1930's. It was a grand place to take in a classic movie and a cornerstone of downtown Tyler. For the last several decades the theater has been a vacant eyesore in downtown, however, it is scheduled for a grand rebirth next month.
The Grand Opening Gala for Liberty Hall is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 10, and new life will be breathed into the Liberty. The East Texas Symphony Orchestra will perform.
The city of Tyler purchased the theater in 2008, for $180,000. The city then partnered with the East Texas Symphony Orchestra to raise more than a million dollars of private donations to restore the theater.
Many area residents have fond memories of the old theater and are anxious for its doors to reopen. As the Liberty makes a come back in a new century scores of people are waiting to get in line to get a seat at Liberty Hall. The Liberty marquee will soon be surging again on a regular basis, allowing nostalgia and memories to sweep over Tyler.
The newly remodeled Liberty Hall will boast more than 300 seats, as well as balcony and box seating for musical performances and other community entertainment events. The renovations have taken the theater back to the grandeur of its roots, from the 1930s.
Chamber music, quartets, recitals, and public meetings will all be held at Liberty Hall in the very near future. The Liberty will also be available to rent for lectures, conferences, classes, concerts and films.
Don't miss the grand re-opening of a historic theater in East Texas! Get dressed up and take your sweetheart on a date he or she will never forget and make new memories in an old place. Bring the Liberty back to life on Sept. 10.

Vermont Instruments, run by George Morris and Adam Buchwald, where I took my sabbatical and began the luthier journey (is it ever over?) has put up a new web site. Our class picture (Fall 2008) is on the home page, taken on the last day before we went our separate ways. My guitar was still in pieces after I put in the inlay on the headstock, so I held one of the tenor guitars that was hanging around (literally) the shop and Adam had just strung up.

Flowers at the Arnold Arboretum
Went for a walk in the Arboretum yesterday before the Lilac Sunday/Mother's Day crowd descends on JP today. Spectacular flowering trees and lilacs!! I posted a few of the best photos on picasa – click the image above to go there and see the full versions. You can almost smell the lilacs from these. Lots of happy birds were tweeting, too.

What's up with our kids breaking their wrists??
Did they not drink enough milk? Not enough sunshine?
Is frisbee really a dangerous game? You tell me.
Zach decided to join Lucas in the "wrist hit parade", and he's looking quite proud of his cast.
Luckily we had good care down the street and didn't have to suffer through the hospital system. He'll have the cast on for 4 weeks.

Rick's story is similar to hundreds of other stories. When Rick began his career as a police officer he was a young, suburban, middle class, idealistic kid. He wanted to change the world by making it a better and safer place for others to live. He couldn't get enough of law enforcement, and would even work voluntarily after spending a whole day in police academy. But twenty plus years later he was a different person. Years of exposure to criminals, stress, trauma, and some physical injuries from the job wore down his resilience to the point that one day, the day his best friend and police partner for 21 years committed suicide, Rick fell into the abyss of PTSD. Here's Rick's story of that day...
"I'm standing on the stage in a high school auditorium and it's a happy occasion. I love working with the 5 year olds at Safety City and tonight is their graduation. This is the good part of policing.
Suddenly I see my wife, Becky, coming down the aisle and I know right away that something is not right. She is as white as a ghost and comes up to the stage and tells me, "You have to go with me NOW!" She said my friend, Doug, called his wife and intends to commit suicide. I've kept the secret that for the last year or so he hasn't been doing well, and there was a failed suicide attempt with an overdose of pills that was swept under the rug. He's been distant and avoiding me the last few weeks.
I grab my cruiser and head to his house. My thoughts are racing and I can't catch my breath. This is my brother… We've worked together for 21 years; fatal crashes, murders, suicides, and our own personal struggles with family and life.
It's so hot out my vest is sticking to me. Several cruisers are already at the house when I pull up. Doug's wife rushes to me and tells me, "You have to talk to him, Rick. He'll listen to you." Everything slows way down and the officers and family friends at the scene fade into the background. Memories of Doug and the bond we share flood my mind. "This can't be real," I keep saying over and over to myself.
Police auto-pilot kicks in. We have to locate him. Let's call the phone company and find out what cell towers his phone is using. Let's check his credit cards and see where they are being used. I call him over and over. It's as if some detached stranger is on the other end of the phone. He says, "My life is over. I can't be a cop." I'm thinking, "This one is on you, Rick. You have to fix this!" My mind is racing through plan A, plan B, plan C…
His credit card has been used at a motel so we call the police department in that area. They are en route. We call the desk clerk and ask him to keep an eye on his room until the police arrive. The clerk tips him off. I'm furious! I want to crawl through the phone and beat this guy. I call Doug again and he says, "Nice try, Neeley. You almost had me." Doug knows I will do ANYTHING to get him home safely.
The back and forth, back and forth goes on for hours. I'm mentally exhausted. I'm so hot my under armor shirt is soaked and my body armor is stuck to me. I want to cry, but not now – not in front of all these people. This is my job.
The police move in. Doug calls me and tells me to get them to back off or he'll shoot himself in the head. I'm telling him to calm down, give me some time. My pulse is racing. The department psychologist thinks he won't shoot himself if he keeps talking to me. His life is in my hands. I'm overwhelmed. Doug's voice is foreign to me, and he yells, "They've deployed the stop sticks! This is it!" Boom…………………………………
My heart sinks. I know our H&K USP 40's sound all too well. "Shots fired! Shots fired!" comes from the Highway Partrol. People begin stepping out of the fog that surrounds me – the guys that have been keeping vigil. A death watch. I want to puke.
Doug's wife, who is also a police officer, is ranting and flipping out. Who can blame her? I calm her. It's my job. We have to wait to hear from the officers on the scene. This sucks big time. I see my wife and can't look at her or I will lose it. The fog closes in again.
"Rick, this is Captain… Doug is gone from a self-inflicted gunshot wound." Doug's wife screams, "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" It pierces the sky. I feel heavy, like I've been punched. I can't form words. Doug's wife grabs me and is punching me in the chest. I try to comfort her. How do you do that?
His family has to know – his parents, ex-wife and three boys. I know them all. I pull into his parents' driveway. What do I say? His mother is sobbing. His dad looks stunned. The apple of their eye is gone. When I pull into his ex-wife's driveway I want to cry. I can't cry, not now. I can't recall the words, but I can see the pain on his boys' faces. I hug them like I've never hugged anyone to comfort them. This is my responsibility.
I don't know how I got home. I'm drained. I can't talk anymore. I'm overwhelmed with shock and despair. This isn't real. I desperately want this to be a bad dream that I can wake up from, but I can't. This IS real. Doug is gone. I've bled with him, almost died with him, and now he's gone. I couldn't save him. I will never see him again. Not here.
I want to escape and be with God. I listen to a CD, communing with God. I try to let go of the world and its troubles and imagine that I'm in a large tent filled with oversized pillows, hand woven carpets, wonderful scents and the creator of the universe in the midst of it. That got me through the first night.
The next morning I go to the station and see my old sergeant who left my department years ago. I can't tell you how good it is to see him. He's a connection with the beginning of this journey – back to a time when everything seemed so black and white. We were the good guys and we got the bad people off the street. He has no words, but the fact that he is there speaks volumes.
Breakfast with guys from the department before the media circus and funeral arrangements begin gives me a good look at the shock on their faces. We decide to put Doug's patrol car on the front lawn of the station and drape it with a black runner and set up a makeshift memorial.
I'm detailed to go to the city where the suicide occurred and retrieve Doug's personal effects and possibly the firearm used to commit the suicide. A newspaper reporter is there and asks question after question expecting me to respond. I collect Doug's personal items that are still covered in blood. I can't see reissuing Doug's gun so I ask them to destroy it. I read Doug's suicide note which is oddly disconnected and rambling. We watch patrol car camera footage of the incident. I watch as Doug put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. I see his head explode like a pumpkin. (It was only shown once but I will see it over and over, tens of thousands of times in my head for years.) I want to cry but have to wear the mask of the disconnected, non-affected police officer. I feel sick. The room is spinning. I can't wait to get out of there.
I try to stay as busy as possible prior to the funeral to push all my emotions aside. I take care of every detail: honor guards, bagpipes, notifying other agencies, rider-less horse, a long procession to the cemetery, 21 gun salute, taps – all the trappings for a fallen officer. I want Doug to have the funeral I would want if I fell. Shame creeps into my thoughts when callous comments are made, like, "So what, the guy was crazy and shot himself." And then these same callous guys fake concern in the newspaper! I put in 20 hours a day, can't eat, and I look like a ghost with shock and terror imprinted on my face.
At the visitation, face after face comes up to me as if I am Doug and ask me WHY? Like somehow I am a part of Doug and I need to make them feel better about things – like there is no me, just the figure that connects them to Doug. I keep thinking Doug is around the corner and all of this is a nightmare. Exhaustion is welcome because it helps me feel numb.
The letter Doug wrote to me about his faith in God and his struggles is in the pocket of my leather uniform jacket and will remain there for years. Doug's church considers suicide a mortal sin, but I tell everyone that I'm sure he is in heaven regardless of any man-made rules. I know that Doug's battle was between good and evil and how evil thought it had triumphed, and I spoke against it. Afterwards, I wonder if I put a target on my back by saying that.
The day of the funeral is here. Thousands of people are packed into the high school auditorium to pay their respects. I am speaking to the audience and fear my knees are going to buckle at any minute. I share stories of the good times we had together, but inside something is changing. As they lower the coffin into the grave I know this is the end of my career as a police officer. I feel a wave of shame come over me as if I had failed and everybody knows it. I don't fit into the cop culture anymore. I'm angry that Doug left me to sort out this mess. His pain is over but mine is just starting."
This was the beginning of my journey with PTSD.
To hear the rest of my story and learn about the hope and healing that I've experienced please join me, and many other caring people, at a Resurrected Honor retreat.

Last Monday, our IGCSE 2 class went on a trip to the Kol Tor Lake. On the way to our guest house we stopped by the Burana Tower. The tower was pretty big, however, the staircase to the top was extremely narrow and steep which made the climb up challenging. A funny part of the trip would be when Mr. Jay got anxious when anyone got too close to the edge of the tower.
We then successfully returned to the ground and explored around theremains of the mosque. We looked at some tombstones and visited the museum, and then headed straight to the guest house. The place we were staying at was very cozy and spacious. Upon entering the house, we put on our 'GUCCI' (literally) flip flops and ate dinner. We played some charades and listened to Mr. Jay and Mr. Slava play their guitars, and then went to sleep. The next morning, we woke up to a beautiful view, had breakfast and headed out for our hike. Sadly, we did not get to the lake itself because it was snowing up there. Only five people (Gunnar, Riyan, Sean, Alexia and Amina) lead by Mr. Slava made it to the final destination of our hike - a beautiful plateau. We passed through forestsand jumped over rivers while observing the beautiful landscape. Once we returned to the house,we had lunch and headed back to Bishkek. The trip was really fun; we became friends and we finally managed to go on a field trip with almost the whole class. There was no cellular reception so everyone had to talk and no one was sitting on their phones.
We would like to thank, Ms. Saikal, Mr. Slava and Mr. Jason for making this trip possible.
Amina and Alexia, IGCSE2 students

| 5.8°C Dublin
Eliminating Real Madrid may prove to be beyond Tottenham Hotspur this evening, having lost the first leg in the Bernabeu 4-0 a week ago, but the experience of hosting the nine-times European Champions can serve as an incentive to ensure they are back in the competition next season.
The visit of Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid will in all likelihood draw Tottenham's exhilarating debut season in the Champions League to a glamourous, if anti-climactic, close.
The 4-0 drubbing Harry Redknapp's buccaneering side took in the Bernabeu a week ago leaves Tottenham keeping their fingers crossed for something outlandish, something that has never been done in the European Cup or Champions League, and has been accomplished just three times in all European competitions.
"Don't tell the players that," Redknapp joked. "They might call me up and say 'What is the use of me coming? Can I go shopping?'''
Faced with such a daunting proposition, Tottenham were understandably speaking of "miracles" yesterday.
"It's all right saying we're going to throw everything at them, but they have got amazing players on the break, with pace," said Redknapp. "You could end up getting ripped to pieces if you're too open. We want to win the game if we can and see what happens.
"Listen, we know that it would take a miracle, but miracles can happen. We have to believe that if we play very, very well you never know what can happen."
Playmaker Luka Modric was more upbeat about Tottenham's chances. "We don't have anything to lose. There's a big belief around the dressing-room we can produce a miracle," said the Croatian, who, as if to prove his point, was wearing a T-shirt bearing an image of the Virgin Mary.
Tottenham are praying for something miraculous, but are also preparing for more mundane, but more important, games to come, starting with next week's north London derby.
Liverpool's 3-0 victory over Manchester City leaves Tottenham, currently in fifth place, with a good chance of overhauling the big spenders from Eastlands before the season is out, and snatching fourth for the second season running.
Redknapp said that consistently reaching the Champions League is the goal, not making the odd appearance. "You've got to keep doing it. Tony Parkes (the club's goalkeeping coach) told me Tottenham have a year like that and it's another 12 years before you see them again. We don't want that."
Tottenham come into the game amid stories that key players like Gareth Bale, Rafael van der Vaart and Modric will leave should the team not qualify for the competition again next season.
Redknapp was quick to quash any such suggestion: "Not a chance. Absolutely rubbish. They've all got contracts, none of them are leaving."
More importantly, perhaps, Modric was just as forthright about the potential at Tottenham, and used a press conference yesterday to talk up the club's prospects of challenging for the Premier League title next season.
"We can become one of the best teams if we all stay together for a long time," said Modric. "We need to take the positives from the Champions League and try to put everything into next season, learn from our mistakes and try to fight to win the title."
Spurs' supporters will be monitored by one of Uefa's top disciplinary officials during tonight's game after Emmanuel Adebayor complained of being racially abused in the first leg in Madrid.
Spurs have appealed to supporters not to sing the offensive chant, and will be scanning the stands with CCTV cameras and stewards wearing head-cams. They will also urge fans to text the location of offenders to the police during the game. (© Independent News Service)

SQL CRUD is everywhere in the database world. Be it application development or ad-hoc queries in analysis, there is a strong chance you are executing one of the CRUD commands: Create, Read, Update, or Delete. Having written several blog posts in the past on MySQL CRUD, I feel you the readers deserve an easy means to access them all. Therefore, consider this post the MySQL CRUD Compilation post. Enjoy![Keep reading for more SQL database and Python-centric content >>>]
SUBSTRING_INDEX() function in MySQL – with examples.
I recently used the MySQL SUBSTRING_INDEX(), function for a requirement in a PHP/MySQL reporting dashboard I am developing, and thought to write about
SUBSTRING_INDEX() general usage. Although this post has arbitrary examples, I'm sure you can find a use for this function in specific cases. Continue reading and see basic queries including
SUBSTRING_INDEX in the
SELECT clause…
CSV to JSON with Python for MySQL upload
Admittedly, I have jumped head-first into the world of
JSON within MySQL. I also have a thing for Python, of which I find myself using a lot of in my day job as Pipeline Survey Data Analyst. CSV's are everywhere: in data at work, on the web, even in my personal life (as you'll see). Loading CSV data into MySQL is nothing new to anyone working with either of the technologies. As a matter of fact, there are several ways you can get your CSV data into MySQL. I wrote the post, Pyodbc SQL CRUD – Create: Examples with MySQL, you can read where I cover loading CSV data using the Python
pyodbc module. But, how about type-casting CSV data – which typically are strings – to a compatible
JSON data type? Then push the
JSON data to a MySQL
JSON column? And that my friends, is the focus of this post. Turns out, Python's
csv and
json standard libraries makes the whole process virtually painless. Keep reading and see a simple script I devised…
MySQL DATE Calculations using INTERVAL – with examples
Recently in my day job, while developing the back-end of a reporting dashboard with PHP and MySQL, I noticed some interesting differences in
DATE math calculations. The examples used in this post are purely arbitrary but stem from lessons learned, therefore, I feel they are definitely worth sharing…
CREATE TABLE using Python in the MySQL Shell – with examples.
Not only are basic SQL CRUD operations supported in MySQL Shell Python mode, but you can also execute DDL commands such as
CREATE TABLE. While there is not a specific create_table() method per se, there is a
sql() method for this – and other – types of commands that don't have an individual method such as those for each of the individual CRUD operations. Keep reading to see a simple example use of the
sql() method…

79. It will be asked: |In what sort was the Son begotten?| As one who is for ever, as the Word, as the brightness of eternal light, for brightness takes effect in the instant of its coming into existence. Which example is the Apostle's, not mine. Think not, then, that there was ever a moment of time when God was without wisdom, any more than that there was ever a time when light was without radiance. Judge not, Arian, divine things by human, but believe the divine where thou findest not the human.
80. The heathen king saw in the fire, together with the three Hebrew children, the form of a fourth, like as of an angel, and because he thought that this angel excelled all angels, he judged Him to be the Son of God, Whom he had not read of, but in Whom he believed. Abraham, also, saw Three, and adored One.
81. Peter, when he saw Moses and Elias on the mountain, with the Son of God, was not deceived as to their nature and glory. For he enquired, not of them, but of Christ, what he ought to do, inasmuch as though he prepared to do homage to all three, yet he waited for the command of one. But since he ignorantly thought that for three persons three tabernacles should be set up, he was corrected by the sovereign voice of God the Father, saying, |This is My dearly beloved Son: hear ye Him.| That is to say: |Why dost thou join thy fellow-servants in equality with thy Lord?| |This is My Son.| Not |Moses is My Son,| nor |Elias is My Son,| but |This is My Son.| The Apostle was not dull to understand the rebuke; he fell on his face, brought low by the Father's voice and the glorious beauty of the Son, but he was raised up by the Son, Whose wont it is to raise up them that are fallen. Then he saw one only, the Son of God alone, for the servants had withdrawn, that He might be seen to be Lord alone, Who alone was entitled Son.
82. What, then, was the purpose of that vision, which signified not that Christ and His servants were equal, but betokened a mystery, save that it should be made plain to us that the Law and the Prophets, in agreement with the Gospel, revealed as eternal the Son of God, Whom they had heralded. When we, therefore, hear of the Son coming forth of the womb, the Word from the heart, let us believe that the Son was not fashioned with hands but begotten of the Father, not the work of a craftsman but the offspring of a parent.
83. He, therefore, Who said, |This is My Son,| said not, |This is a creature of time,| nor |This being is of My creation, My making, My servant,| but |This is My Son, Whom ye see glorified.| This is the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, Who appeared to Moses in the bush, concerning Whom Moses saith, |He Who is hath sent me.| It was not the Father Who spake to Moses in the bush or in the desert, but the Son. It was of this Moses that Stephen said, |This is He Who was in the church, in the wilderness, with the Angel.| This, then, is He Who gave the Law, Who spake with Moses, saying, |I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.| This, then, is the God of the patriarchs, this is the God of the prophets.
84. It is of the Son, therefore, that we read, thy mind understandeth the reading, let thy tongue make confession. Away with arguments, where faith is required; now let dialectic hold her peace, even in the midst of her schools. I ask not what it is that philosophers say, but I would know what they do. They sit desolate in their schools. See the victory of faith over argument. They who dispute subtly are forsaken daily by their fellows; they who with simplicity believe are daily increased. Not philosophers but fishermen, not masters of dialectic but tax-gatherers, now find credence. The one sort, through pleasures and luxuries, have bound the world's burden upon themselves; the other, by fasting and mortification, have cast it off, and so doth sorrow now begin to win over more followers than pleasure.
85. Let us now see how far Arians and pagans do differ. The latter call upon gods, who are different in sex and unequal in power; the former affirm a Trinity where there is likewise inequality of power and diversity of Godhead. The pagans assert that their Gods began to exist once upon a time; the Arians lyingly declare that Christ began to exist in the course of time. Have they not all dyed their impiety in the vats of philosophy? But indeed the pagans do extol that which they worship, the Arians maintain that the Son of God, Who is God, is a creature.
