30-Day Residential Addiction Treatment Program at Duffy’s in Northern California

Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab offers a 30-day residential program designed to provide the life-changing services necessary for long-term recovery through expert 12-Step drug & alcohol addiction treatment in Northern California.

Residential Treatment

Learn More About Duffy’s 30-Day Residential Treatment Program

The Foundational Program at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California is our flagship treatment program, and many alumni over decades of our history have found long-term healing because of this program.

Designed for adult men and women ages 18 and older, the Foundational Program is a 30-day residential treatment program intended to help people who are struggling with substance use disorders. This program also features dual diagnosis support for individuals whose primary diagnosis of addiction is accompanied by certain co-occurring mental health conditions.

The drug & alcohol program is staffed by a team of caring and compassionate professionals, many of whom have personal experience with recovery. Our staff is kind-hearted, engaged, and dedicated to helping people recover, and they ensure that each guest who comes to heal with us truly feels that he or she belongs. Before coming to Duffy’s, many of our guests have never felt like they belong anywhere, but at Duffy’s, they are members of the family.

Furthermore, our residential treatment team works hard to practice what we preach about substance abuse. We work to maintain a high level of honesty and integrity in what we do and would not ask somebody to change a behavior or adopt a philosophy that we are not practicing ourselves.

The Foundational Residential Program includes a number of interventions designed to help individuals overcome substance use disorders. Some of these interventions include:

Many of our guests have found such success in treatment that they wish to continue to stay with us and build their recovery skills further. For these individuals, we are proud to provide our Partial Hospitalization Programming/Extended Care. Individuals in this program stay for an additional 30 to 60 days and continue to build upon the progress they have already made in treatment. Individuals in PHP continue to receive many of the same interventions provided in our residential program, such as individual therapy and many different types of group therapy. Guests in the extended care program are able to dive deeper into the 12- Step principles and holistic treatment while gaining a deeper understanding of their substance use disorder.

Individual Therapy

Learn More About Individual Therapy at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

Individual therapy is a key component of the Foundational Residential Program. During individual therapy, guests meet with their primary care counselor, a highly-trained and experienced clinician, for twice-weekly meetings. These sessions are a prime opportunity for individuals to process their successes and setbacks in treatment, receive individualized support, and discuss matters that they may not be comfortable bringing up during groups.

Group Therapy

Learn More About Group Therapy at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

Groups are the backbone of treatment at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab, and guests in the Foundational Residential Program spend much of their day participating in various groups. Groups allow guests to give and receive support, learn from their peers, and practice skills that they are learning in treatment. These groups are led by both counseling staff members and peers in the treatment program. Groups led by counseling staff members are gender-specific and often include a check-in as well as experiential training or processing. They also focus on mindfulness, responsibility, and self-awareness. Peer-led groups are specialty groups that focus on one of more than 50 different topics. These topics include relapse prevention, acceptance, powerless and unmanageability, and other recovery and self-reflective topics.

Experiential Therapy

Individuals who participate in treatment for substance use disorders often benefit from many different kinds of care. Experiential therapy is a type of care that allows guests to use not just their minds but also their bodies in their efforts to build sober living skills. We offer a range of experiential groups and processes, including:

  • Emotion-focused therapy
  • Meditation
  • Art therapy
  • Trusting the Process
  • Music and Recovery
  • Crossing the Line
  • Surrender falls and trust-building exercises

Family Therapy

Learn More About Family Therapy at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

Substance use disorders do not just affect individuals, but also entire families as the effects of one family member’s substance abuse ripples outward into the family system. As such, at Duffy’s, we are proud to provide family therapy sessions every week for our guests and their families. Family therapy is held on the weekends and includes educational groups that both family members and guests can attend. Lunch is included during these weekend sessions and guests may request a private session with his or her primary care counselor and their families if they would like. This session is usually completed during the last week of treatment, and it usually includes a discussion about the discharge plan.

Seeking Safety Model

Learn more about our seeking safety counseling model

Seeking Safety is an evidence-based, present-focused counseling model to help people attain safety from trauma and/or substance abuse. It can be conducted in group and/or individual modality. It is a safe model as it directly addresses both trauma and addiction, but without requiring clients to delve into the trauma narrative (the detailed account of disturbing trauma memories), thus making it relevant to a very broad range of clients and easy to implement.  At Duffy’s we have Seeking Safety group twice per week and also offer individual sessions to those interested.

Medication Management

Learn More About Medication Management at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab, in Northern California, has a psychiatrist on retainer to provide medication management services. Guests who would benefit from including medications as a part of their treatment program will interact with our Treatment Support Specialists staff members on a day-to-day basis to receive their medications. These staff members are trained to meet state standards and interact with an electronic system to ensure safety. They also ensure that guests are taking the correct medications and maintain electronic records of medication dosages and administration.

Discharge Planning

Learn More About Discharge Planning at Duffy’s Napa Valley Rehab in Northern California

We begin discharge planning from the very first day of treatment. A smooth discharge into the care of treatment professionals in an individual’s community can mean the difference between building on the progress that a person has made while in treatment or relapsing and having to start over again.

To that end, we meet regularly with each of our guests to discuss discharge plans. Some of our guests choose to discharge to sober living communities or into the care of their original referral sources, such as a therapist in their local community. No matter what each guest’s plans are, all discharge plans are discussed carefully and are designed with that person’s needs and desires at the forefront. All of our guests’ discharge plans are individualized and may include participation in 12-Step groups with a sponsor or a fellowship program like Refuge Recovery, SMART Recovery, Celebrate Recovery, LifeRing, etc.

Trusted by 38,000 families since 1967.

On July 26th, 2013, I entered Duffy’s after detoxing. Thanks to the good foundation I got here, I am still sober! I hope the first Monday’s activities are checking out what meetings you will go to after you leave Duffy’s. I am still going to the ones I wrote down 5 years ago. Thanks for being there for folks like me who could not stop drinking.

World ill-prepared for rising climate risks, but adaptation helps: IPCC report

1 April 2014

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The risks to people and the planet from climate change are growing, and the world is still poorly prepared to manage those risks even though it has learned more about how to adapt, a scientific report from the United Nations' climate panel said on Monday.

The report, issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), observed that, in recent decades, changes in climate have caused impacts on natural and human systems "on all continents and across the oceans". These range from melting glaciers to falling wheat and maize yields, food price spikes, deaths from heat waves, and harsh humanitarian consequences from climate-linked disasters. “We live in an era of man-made climate change.

In many cases, we are not prepared for the climate-related risks that we already face," said Vicente Barros, co-chair of Working Group II, a team of hundreds of scientists who produced the report. "Investments in better preparation can pay dividends both for the present and for the future,” he added in a statement. People who are marginalised socially, economically and politically are most vulnerable to climate change, including those who suffer discrimination due to gender, class, ethnicity, age and disability, the report said.

"Climate-related hazards affect poor people’s lives directly through impacts on livelihoods, reductions in crop yields, or destruction of homes, and indirectly through, for example, increased food prices and food insecurity," the report said.

At the same time, it outlined the advances that have been made in climate adaptation responses since the last major IPCC report in 2007, noting that experience is accumulating across regions, in the public and private sector and within communities.

The report gives examples of measures that are already being taken, including early warning systems, better water management, mangrove planting on coastlines, hardier crop varieties, protection for utilities and other public infrastructure, and planning for sea-level rise.

Chris Field, co-chair of Working Group II, said tackling climate challenges "creatively" can make adaptation "an important way to help build a more vibrant world in the near-term and beyond”. But the report also identified constraints to putting adaptation into practice. They include limited financial and human resources, poor coordination, uncertainties about climate impacts, differing perceptions of risks, and insufficient tools to monitor how well policies work. The report pointed to "a gap between global adaptation needs and the funds available for adaptation", adding that there is a need for better assessment of adaptation costs, funding and investment. The study is part of the IPCC’s fifth assessment of the scientific knowledge on climate change. A first report, released in September, looked at the physical science of climate change; a further one, due out in April, will examine efforts to mitigate climate change.

Lead authors of the report told Thomson Reuters Foundation it is now clear the risks from climate change will continue to rise in the next two decades or so, whether or not efforts are stepped up to cut the greenhouse gas emissions that are warming the Earth. "The projections into the future are looking a lot more alarming than they were before ... things are looking bleaker," said Saleemul Huq, director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development in Dhaka and a senior fellow with the London-based International Institute for Environment and Development.

For example, local floods and droughts might damage crop harvests in Asia or Russia which then push up international food prices, sparking riots in places like Egypt, Huq noted. "There is a new kind of global vulnerability, which is inherently unpredictable...when things happen in several places they can add up to much more than two and two being four," he said.

Some of the numbers included in an earlier draft summary of the report, prepared by scientists for policy makers to approve at a meeting in Japan last week, were removed from the final version - mainly because they were subject to a high level of uncertainty, or susceptible to misinterpretation, experts at the negotiations said.

The official summary warned, nonetheless, that a bigger proportion of the global population will experience water scarcity and river floods as temperatures rise this century.

A large fraction of animal, bird and fish species face higher extinction risk, and coastal systems and low-lying areas will experience worsening submergence, coastal flooding and erosion due to sea-level rise. More people, especially the poorest, will be displaced from their homes by extreme weather and longer-term climate shifts, the report predicted. Without adaptation, wheat, rice and maize production will decline in tropical and temperate regions where local temperatures rise 2 degrees Celsius or more above levels late last century, though some places may benefit, the report said. And climate change is expected to lead to increases in ill-health this century in many regions, especially in poor developing countries.

Global economic impacts are hard to estimate, but annual losses could range from 0.2 percent to 2 percent of income if the world’s temperatures rise around 2 degrees Celsius, the report said. Overall, climate change is expected to make poverty worse. "Throughout the 21st century, climate-change impacts are projected to slow down economic growth, make poverty reduction more difficult, further erode food security, and prolong existing and create new poverty traps, the latter particularly in urban areas and emerging hotspots of hunger," the report noted.

Humanitarian and development agencies said the IPCC's findings are worrying for the vulnerable people they assist. "From the Red Cross perspective, we are really concerned about what this report tells us about the potential long-term humanitarian consequences," said Maarten van Aalst, director of the Red Cross/Red Crescent Climate Centre. "If we go on with the 'business as usual' scenario (for emissions), which we are very much on...then we are indeed going to those very high temperature scenarios."

Huq said a key message from the report was that the world can more or less manage the threats from a 2-degree Celsius warmer world, which will mainly hit the poor. But if global temperature rise reaches 4 degrees, which many scientists predict will happen unless more mitigation occurs, then "it becomes a totally different picture". "Even the rich will be affected...and they will not escape anymore, so hopefully that will lead to a collective realisation we need to act now, and the window for opportunity is the next few decades to reduce emissions while at the same time enhancing adaptation," Huq said.

The report warned that greater rates and magnitude of climate change increase the likelihood of "exceeding adaptation limits", when the actions needed to avoid intolerable risks are not possible or available. That might include scenarios such as small Pacific nations being forced to abandon some of their islands due to rising seas, storms and saltwater intrusion. “With high levels of warming that result from continued growth in greenhouse gas emissions, risks will be challenging to manage, and even serious, sustained investments in adaptation will face limits,” Working Group II co-chair Field said.

Aid group Oxfam called on governments to respond by massively increasing investment in adaptation, and agreeing to cut emissions. "This report shows that we face a major reversal in the fight against hunger," said Tim Gore, Oxfam's head of policy for food and climate change. "Without urgent action on adaptation and emissions reduction, the goal of ensuring every person has enough to eat may be lost forever.Political leaders reading this report should ask themselves whether this will be the generation to let that happen."

Google Cloud NEXT 2018 Recap

Last week was Google Cloud NEXT, Google’s big show all about their cloud offerings.

I was there because Dynatrace made some announcements about our support for GCP, including Kubernetes and Stackdriver – You can read about those in this blog post I wrote.

As you’d expect from a show like this, there was lots of cool stuff going on. I wanted to use this post to share some of the news that got me really excited at the show.

attendees get a demo at the Dynatrace booth
We had a steady stream of traffic at our booth all show

The first thing I noticed was what a hot topic Kubernetes is. I tried to drop in on a few breakout sessions when I had a chance, but anything with Kubernetes in the title was packed. It shouldn’t be a surprise since Kubernetes started at Google before they released it as open source. It’s great to see the momentum it’s picked up in just a few short years. As one speaker said – “containers are the building blocks of the cloud, and Kubernetes is the way you orchestrate and manage them.” Google also announced that their cloud solution for Kubernetes, GKE, was also now available as an on-premises deployment.

That’s great for Dynatrace, because Kubernetes is a technology that we support and are actively building for. We announced OneAgent Operator for Kubernetes a few months ago and we’ve continued to enhance the solution based on customer feedback. You can use the OneAgent Operator to automate the rollout of OneAgent to your Kubernetes nodes, and provides a mechanism for automated updates of OneAgent. It’s more than that though – see my colleague Alois blog post about the latest updates to OneAgent Operator for Kubernetes

I also learned a little about Knative, a solution for serverless workloads that run on Kubernetes. It’s a way for developers to just focus on writing code, and not the boring-but-important tasks like getting your code into containers or configuring routing or autoscaling. You can find out more about it here.

There was lots of buzz for Istio, as the product came out of beta and officially reached version 1.0. Istio is designed to make it easier to deploy and manage microservices. When it’s deployed, it can automate load balancing of web traffic, and provides the ability to route traffic with access controls and rate limits. What made my ears perk up though was the ability for Istio to automatically determine relationships between services, and automatically create a dependency map of your services.

Istio diagram
an example of the Service Graph Istio can create of a deployment

That’s really similar to the smartscape technology that’s in Dynatrace, so I wanted to learn more about it.

Smartscape in Dynatrace shows relationships and dependencies at the Service, Process and Host levels

I’m still diving in to Istio to learn more, but it looks like it’s limited to services running on Kubernetes on Google Container Engine (GKE) or on premises, whereas Dynatrace can be deployed and used to monitor systems on any cloud platform, as well as on-premises and even legacy systems like mainframe. Istio also seems to only be able to automatically detect the services running at the container level – it can see what services talk to each other, and what the transaction times are, but it’s up to developers to do most of the instrumentation in their code for Istio to monitor, and then it’s up to devs to analyze that data too. Dynatrace can build relationship maps of not just services, but processes and hosts as well. And Dynatrace can automatically do all the tracing in your code, including analysis, without Devs having to change their code. I’ll have more to say about Istio after I’ve had a chance to kick the tires a little more.

Broader integration with Stackdriver was a pretty common theme in many of the sessions. This is great news for Dynatrace customers, because we have a remote plugin that will bring metrics from Stackdriver into Dynatrace, allowing Dynatrace to use that data as part of it’s analytics. As long as Google continues to support the Stackdriver API and makes those metrics available, we’ll be able to bring them in to Dynatrace. (We’re still finalizing and refining the metrics that will be included out-of-the-box with the Stackdriver plugin.  I’d love to get feedback on what some of those should be. Let me know what services you’re using on GCP, and what monitoring metrics you’d like to see from those. Ping me on twitter @adambomb00 or email me: .

A screenshot from Dynatrace showing how Stackdriver metrics can be imported and displayed

I did manage to catch a session about SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) that talked about a couple of interesting concepts. One of the things they talked about was how minutes of uptime is not the most effective way to measure the reliability of your services and suggested instead measuring successful interactions per minute.

Instead of % uptime, Google uses % good transactions to measure availability

This makes a lot of sense. If you’ve got a distributed app and one of your sites fails, but users aren’t impacted, it doesn’t really count as downtime. This is where Dynatrace RUM (Real User Monitoring) comes in to play – measuring user experience right from the end user’s device (Web, Mobile, Iot, etc.). They also talked about the concept of an error budget for your services as a way to determine how major the impact is – the faster an outage burns through your error budget, the bigger the impact on the business. They had some interesting data about “9’s” of uptime. If you’re at 99% uptime (that’s downtime of 7 hours per month) and want to go to 99.9% (that’s 43 minutes of downtime per month) , it costs 10x in operations costs, and every additional 9 you add that (99.99 is 4.3 minutes of downtime per month, 99.999 is 26 seconds) it adds another 10x in cost.

the closer you get to 100% uptime, the more expensive your operational costs

Dynatrace has functionality built in to enable this kind of metric – Dynatrace measures and reports on the number of users active on the system that are impacted by a problem, and because we’ve got instrumentation running at the code level, Dynatrace detects errors based on HTTP response and backend code errors like exceptions and error handler method execution  and can even calculate the cost of lost revenue as a result of an outage. Want to know more? My colleague Wolfgang talks about it here.

Dynatrace Business impact analysis shows how many users are impacted by a problem.

There were a couple of other announcements that I really liked. As seems to be the trend these days, everyone talks about their AI and Machine Learning solutions, and Google talked a lot about AutoML – new solutions that can be easy trained by mere mortals. They showed examples like AutoML Vision – where you can provide AutoML with some images that are tagged appropriately to teach AutoML what they are images of, and it will use that knowledge to identify future images. It reminded me of the “Not Hotdog” app from the TV show Silicon Valley – just provide AutoML with some pictures of hot dogs, and it will quickly learn to identify what’s a hot dog and what’s not, greatly speeding up your development process. If you prefer Schnitzel to Hotdogs, you might find the app “Schnitzel or Not” from my colleague Gergely Kalapos interesting. He showed it in Episode 15 of his .NET Concepts of the Week.

Because my team does a lot of work with DevOps and CI/CD, I made a trip through the expo hall and stopped and talked with some Google engineers about Cloud Build and Spinnaker and how we can integrate Dynatrace into that pipeline .

The CI/CD workflow for Google Cloud deployments

Did you know you can use Dynatrace to enable CI/CD? You can use Dynatrace to do automated validation on your builds and deployments, and have Dynatrace auto approve or reject releases, or even regress to previous builds if performance benchmarks aren’t met. You can use it to enable Shift-Left (earlier and automated feedback so bugs are found sooner) and Shift-Right (to understand performance in production). You can do all this with Dynatrace already on AWS (check out this great tutorial built by my boss, Andi), Visual Studio Team Server (thanks to Abel Wang and Donovan Brown) as well as Jenkins (See GitHub tutorial). It was great to confirm that all the building blocks are there to do the same on GCP.

This was my first Google Next conference, and I look forward to attending again. It’s great to see Google really getting parity (and in some cases surpassing) the offerings available from the other big cloud platform providers.  As they continue to expand their offering, Dynatrace will to continue to invest in expanding our support and capabilities too. See you NEXT year!

FORMER Rat Pack member Buddy Greco is leaving south Essex to move back to America, but says Southend is the best place he’s lived.

The Philadelphia-born 87-year-old jazz singer and pianist is moving back to the United States with his wife Lezlie Anders, 66, after living in Palmeira Avenue, Westcliff, since 2010.

The couple are moving to San Francisco with plans to finish Buddy’s autobiography and also perform gigs over there.

Despite the move, Lezlie said her and Buddy are looking to return to Southend next year.

She said: “The person who owns our flat is moving back in and after looking around a bit, we decided it was the most logical time to move back to the USA.

“But we love it here and next March we are going to move back.

“When Buddy does his shows he says how he’s lived in some of the great cities like New York, Chicago and Rome, but then he says he now lives in the greatest city of them all, Southend.

“Afterwards people ask us why, we say we love the beauty of the town and have thoroughly enjoyed living here.”

  5. Best...!!!

    Posted by Stephen on 31st Oct 2016

    Just got mine today and I'm loving it. I've been using it all day with a tfv8 and the time to ramp up compared to my old minos r150 is amazing. I haven't updated the firmware yet, but I've only had one misfire all day.

    It's a bit heavy, but I wouldn't consider that a con... it's like saying a con for a rolls royce is the weight.. it's just part of the style of the mod. I'd be worried if it was super light.

    Having a firm button is a pro, not a con. I don't want a loose button that feels cheap or can be pressed by accident. It's not like it takes a body builder to press it...

    This could be the best regulated mod on the market, and when you consider the price, it can't be beat.

Innovation Nonsense

We are awash in a world of absolute nonsense insofar as the word innovation is concerned. There exists a remarkable euphoria in education around the term, intertwined with an ignorance as to its meaning, and therefore, usage. What do I mean?

Future-Back Strategy

“Imagine getting in your car with the hope of getting to an exciting new destination. You strap on your seat belt, press the ignition button, and set off. You fix your eyes…to the rearview mirror. It doesn’t take long before you rear end another car or end up in a ditch. You can’t move forwards […]

Why Innovation Fails

As much as we talk about innovation in international schools today, we know there is plenty of apprehension to engage in innovation. Apprehension tends to centre on the notion of risk, and, given that boards tend to be conservative by nature, it is hardly a surprise that we’re not seeing more innovation.

The renegotiated NAFTA—rechristened USMCA (U.S-Mexico-Canada Agreement) presumably to allow Donald Trump to tell his followers that he has abolished what he had called the “single worst trade deal ever”—illustrates the poverty of protectionism as well as the dilemma of free trade supporters in matters of trade treaties.

The dilemma is that whatever is good in “free trade” agreements is not what they are officially meant to do. They are good to the extent that they liberate importers and lead to lower consumer prices through comparative advantage and specialization. But they are sold as government interventions in favor of domestic producers for whom “concessions” are obtained from foreign governments by taking domestic consumers hostage.

A free trader is tempted to support such agreements for the good they do, not for their bad justifications. But this imbroglio risks entrenching the idea that free trade is a privilege of domestic producers instead of the liberty of both domestic consumers and producers (or their intermediaries) to individually make the best deals they can find. Another danger is to reinforce the idea that free trade requires free trade agreements, while in reality unilateral free trade would produce most of the benefits. In truth, as free trade agreements are now as much about regulation of trade as about free trade, unilateral free trade would potentially be more beneficial.

The new USMCA is a similar but more regulated and less solid framework than NAFTA. Think of the strengthened rules of origin and the minimum wages imposed to Mexicans; and, for the better protection of Leviathan, the scaling back of the investor-state dispute settlement mechanism and the 16-year sunset clause for the treaty. Note that “free trade” has been removed from the name of the agreement. As the title of a post by Stan Veuger of the American Enterprise Institute asked a month ago, “All this for a Mexican minimum wage increase?” We could add: All this for selling more chickens to Canadians? Is this what making America great is about? (Granted that this small liberalization of agriculture will be good for Canadian consumers, as it will protect them from their domestic lobby and their governments.)

In an editorial of today, the Wall Street Journal writes:

The new deal also takes a giant step toward politically managed trade by imposing new rules of origin and labor regulations. …
The new trade deal could have been worse given Mr. Trump’s protectionist beliefs, but that’s about the best we can say for it.

Which leads me to the poverty of protectionism as a doctrine. Protectionism is difficult to defend either from an individualist or from a collectivist viewpoint. From an individualist viewpoint, protectionism prevents individuals from satisfying their own preferences by making their own bargains—which is the essence of the definition of economic efficiency. Protectionism cannot be coherently defended from a collectivist viewpoint either, as it glorifies the use of “our” collective resources for the benefit of foreigners, like using “our” American farms and farmers to feed Canadians.

To be defended in a coherent way, protectionism requires a sort of organicist and authoritarian nationalism; or an autarkic environmentalism; or a moral argument for coercive redistribution to a certain part of the public; or a very thin and naïve theory of the state—in which, for example, angelic politicians and omniscient bureaucrats calculate the “optimal tariff” to selflessly maximize the welfare of the populace. In most cases, the belief in protectionism may flow from a simple ignorance of the economic arguments for free trade.

Azoxymethane (AOM) is an oxidizing agent that is commonly used to induce cancer in rat colon. Experimental studies strongly suggest an association between glutathione (GSH) depletion and colon cancer. GSH is an essential intracellular antioxidant, where its de novo synthesis requires cyanocobalamin, vitamin B12, yet its role on the prevention of colon cancer pathogenesis was not well studied. This study was undertaken to investigate the dose-dependent effect of cyanocobalamin supplementation in relation to GSH biosynthesis as well as its protective effect against AOM-induced oxidative stress in rat colon. Twenty-eight adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (7 rats/group): Control group that fed standard diet with no AOM injection; and AOMtreated groups which received AOM injection and were fed one of three different diets supplemented with cyanocobalamin as follow: 25 μg, 125 μg, or 250 μg cyanocobalamin/kg of the standard diet. All rats were continuously fed with diet and watered ad libitum for 16 weeks, then they were sacrificed, and the colon tissues were examined microscopically for histological changes and homogenized for biochemical measurements of cellular oxidative stress markers (glutathione, and total antioxidant capacity). The results showed that AOM caused pathological changes in the colonic mucosal tissues and increased oxidative stress markers in rat colonic tissues. Cyanocobalamin, in a dose-dependent manner, has significantly ameliorated the AOM-mediated insults in rat colon. The results of this study provide in vivo evidence that cyanocobalamin supplementation protects against AOM-induced colonic cytotoxicity via abolishment of its colonic oxidative damage.

Well done OS ! derived rules clarified..

I could be snarky and say better late than never, however the guidelines and new licenses today published by Ordnance Survey are a really positive step forward.

As requested by many, myself included, the OS in their documents have tried to explain with examples what is now possible to create and then distribute in terms of new geospatial data.

This should solve the problem for many potential users of Google Maps, for example, who have been frightened off from using this great free resource  by previously aggressive if unclear guidelines.

Some key aspects..

  • As expected there are no restrictions on deriving or displaying data based on OS Opendata datasets.
  • Data collected by independent means (GPS, field survey) and then verified in relation to OS data is free of OS restrictions
  • The real innovation “Free to use” terms, means that organisations licensing data for business use, are able to infer the position or create new data without restrictions as long as the new data is not a direct copy of an existing feature in the OS product.

These  aspects of the new license/guidelines are illustrated with some rather cheesy but useful case studies.

There are however some more grey areas, which may still cause concern to some, around addressing (oh no !! the humanity) the creation of address centroids is seen as copying features!

I wonder a what level of abstraction this no longer the case, is a point representing a street range ok ? A neighbourhood ?

I fundamentally disagree with the example that a school catchment area is OS derived data, what intellectual effort has the OS contributed to it’s creation ?

Still overall this is a massive step forward and the OS should be congratulated on it’s effort in communicating their position clearly.

This is clearly one of the biggest news stories of the last few months for the UK, I can’t help but wonder while the announcements were not made in the public forum of the AGI conference.. Maybe this is the Macworld moment for Ordnance Survey ?

Written and submitted from home (51.425N, 0.331W)

7 Replies to “Well done OS ! derived rules clarified..”

  1. Hi Ed,

    Our team of open source developers are working on the completely free http://openplaques.org guide to blue (and other colour) plaques. We built this partly because of the lack of available geodata that devs can just play with, and it grew from there.

    Our geopoints are sourced from Creative Commons Licenced images on Flickr that have been user-positioned on a map. However, address geocoding tools and Google StreetView are also very good for confirming a position.

    Regarding the new OS rules, what would be the copyright over deriving points visually in StreetView? As the points we are creating are completely new and not part of any existing feature does this mean that we are covered under the ‘Free to Use Data’ description?

  2. Why on earth do OS say that you are free to use data “which copies in part a Feature” and then immediately go on in the example to make it clear that copying features in part is not allowed?!

    The adventure camp boundary would seem to me the perfect example of a NEW feature created from OS data that copies features in part but not in whole. The text seems to say that this is exactly the kind of thing that will be ‘Free to Use Data’ but the example says it is not.

    I think we now need OS to clarify what they consider to be a ‘Feature’ (and specify which existing feature they consider was copied whole to create the camp boundary) and give clear examples of where things copied in part ARE ‘Free to Use Data’.

    1. @John,

      I agree this does not seem to make much sense, I like the simplicity of “if the feature does not appear on the map, you can’t copy it” but maybe there are still existential lawyers at the OS ?

  3. Couldn’t help but notice that the DfT’s publication of the high-level HS2 route map at http://highspeedrail.dft.gov.uk/in-your-area uses Google maps, yet the underlying data (e.g. http://highspeedrail.dft.gov.uk/sites/highspeedrail.dft.gov.uk/files/HS2-ARP-00-DR-RW-04231.pdf) seems to be based on OS Mastermap.

    According to OS, this would be in breach of the PGA licence as since they argue that the Google licence means Google has re-use rights to the derived data … !

    1. Hi David,

      Well as is always the case you would need to talk to the OS to understand their position. I would say however as the route does not yet exist and therefore does not appear on any OS map it cannot be derived from OS data.

      In any case I don’t accept the OS interpretation of Google’s terms.

Here is a great short story by an unknown monk from 11 A.D. entitled “I Wanted To Change The World”

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.

I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.

When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.”

Many athletes worry about things that they cannot control, for instance, winning and losing, the weather, their opponents, the umpires, etc.

If you can’t control it, don’t worry about it.

Control the only thing you can…

Your actions.

Your reactions.

To the Editor:

Your article on Richard D. Kahlenberg’s recently published biography of Albert Shanker, Tough Liberal, gives short shrift to the effect that Ocean Hill-Brownsville had on Mr. Shanker and the largest local union in the AFL-CIO (“Shanker Biography Depicts Evolution of AFT Leader,” Oct. 3, 2007). In so doing, it leaves readers with an incomplete picture of Mr. Shanker’s place in public education.

Although remarkably street-savvy, Mr. Shanker was completely blindsided by the events that took place in 1967, when local residents demanded complete community control over their schools in a section of the borough of Brooklyn known as Ocean Hill-Brownsville. Always liberal, Mr. Shanker was particularly aghast to learn that community control meant that white teachers who were unacceptable to black leaders could be fired without cause with the complete support of the liberal New York City mayor, John V. Lindsay.

Mr. Shanker feared the implications for teachers and for the middle class. After leading his union in a series of crippling strikes despite the existence of the Taylor Law, which required two days of lost pay for every one day on strike, fines against the union, and jail sentences for union leaders, Mr. Shanker emerged as a powerful national figure. Eventually, a diluted form of school decentralization was adopted, albeit far different from what radicals advocated.

Why Call Campus Police?

Because the response will generally be faster.

If you call 911 from a campus landline phone, or 972-860-4290 from a cellphone, it will ring directly to DCCCD police dispatch.

If, however, you call 911 from a cellphone, it will connect you to the local municipal police department in your area.

City officers are not as familiar with college buildings as campus officers. If, for example, you call your campus police and say you need help in room L035, campus officers know exactly where you are.

So, they generally are able to respond more quickly.

Be prepared for emergencies: program the campus police dispatch phone number, 972-860-4290, into your cellphone.

Here's What You Missed At Poland's Avant-Underground Unsound Festival – Telekom Electronic Beats

Here’s What You Missed At Poland’s Avant-Underground Unsound Festival

One of the many daytime events at Kraków’s Unsound Festival 2017— Arturas Bumšteinas’ Bad Weather—epitomized this year’s festival. The performance art piece showed three times throughout the week and culled from esoteric Baroque sound composition techniques to recreate the sounds of wind, rain and thunder with machines that were directed by meteorologically-generated musical notation. The result was a beautiful and chaotic reflection on the implications of 2017’s “flower power” theme: ecological vulnerability and oppression as well as resistance and instability in the chaotic sociopolitical currents of today’s world. Since its inception 15 years ago, Unsound has been extolled as a pioneer in experimental underground music, and this year it further cemented its position as a leader and innovator in this forward-thinking scene.

As in previous iterations, Unsound events took place in myriad theaters and reappropriated spaces across the charming Polish city. The weekday schedule of political and academic panel discussions were held in the Main Square’s headquarters and touched upon the life and legacy of philosopher and EB contributor Mark Fisher and strategies for “techno activism.” Unsound’s clever selection of on-point, relevant topics made sure that the convention room was often pretty full, which testifies to its special status as not just one of the best parties of the year, but an essential gathering of the minds in the dance music underground.

As the weekend dawned, the program moved to more remote locations. For instance, an installation by Ben Frost followed by a concert from early German industrial legends Einstürzende Neubauten took place at Łaźnia Nowa Theater, a venue located in a barren neighborhood originally built during the Soviet realist period. True to Unsound 2017’s guiding theme, Frost’s luridly beautiful ambient set contrasted poignantly with the urbanism of the space in which it was set. Over the course of an hour, he emitted gales of white noise and melancholy analog collages against a billowing plastic sheet, pulling spectators into a peaceful subterranean dreamscape that was only intensified by soft blue lighting that bathed the space.

This natural imagery followed in Wolfgang Voigt’s performance as Gas on Sunday, where looping hypnotic reveries played against videos of the German forests that inspired his childhood trips and early psychedelic experiences. That each of these shows occurred in limited-capacity venues created an even stronger sense of intimacy despite the large and sprawling nature of the festival itself.

It was Friday’s event at the former administrative building at the Nowa Huta Steel Mill, however, that was widely regarded as the climax of the daytime programming. Rising star Lanark Artefax—who will play as part of our Telekom Electronic Beats Clubnight party series on October 30 at Blitz in Munich—debuted a live set that followed on the heels of his wildly successful EP for Whities. The young producer was followed by Lee Gamble, who returned to Unsound to celebrate the release of his new album on Hyperdub, Mnestic Pressure. Both filled the vaulted room with dense and deeply textural, breakbeat-indebted synths that stood in synergistic opposition to the room’s warm magenta lighting. Gamble’s hallucinogenic sound design—which shifted between discordant stabs and stuttering noise to the peaceful sounds of passing cars—was marred only by his visual projections of long and abstruse academic language. At times they came across contrived and overly or cloyingly intellectual for the context despite his known forays into the world of philosophy and hardcore political theory.

But despite the overall strength of this year’s daytime programming and A/V showcases, Unsound 2017’s most engaging performances primarily occurred throughout the weekend’s dance music-focused events. The Thursday, Friday and Saturday night parties happen annually at Hotel Forum, a Soviet-era modernist monolith that closed due to structural concerns in 2002 but never reopened. This year, the third room that formerly occupied the building’s front bar space was moved to a separate white-tiled annex, which created more dance floor space and a stronger sense of thematic separation from the venue’s two other main floors. On Thursday and Friday night it was home to styles that defy easy classification, like the juke or intentionally futuristic grime and R&B-beholden sounds of artists like Peverlist, Kowton and J.G. Biberkopf.

Many of the artists who performed on these opening nights also deliberately played outside of their typical musical purviews. Northern Electronics affiliate Varg seemed to poke fun at the serious nature of most experimental music festivals with a one-hour rap and hip-hop set. In fact, the more traditional sets, like those delivered by Nina Kraviz and DJ Bone b2b DJ Stingray, felt almost out of place. The latter’s highly-anticipated appearance pulled from their characteristic electro canon and arsenal of tracks Bone is known to play. This reached an uncomfortable zenith with the extremely, unforgivably rinsed classic that is Robert Hood’s “Never Grow Old”, which seemed too standard given the space that Unsound creates to allow artists to challenge normative dance floor expectations.

The narrative surrounding 2017’s “flower power” theme was a foil to prior years’ darker and more inward-looking tropes such as “horror,” “future shock” and “the end,” and its elegance permeated the festival’s programming in subtle and meaningful ways. It was particularly discernible in Saturday’s softer and more house-oriented lineup, which offset the sometimes-disconcerting sets from the festival’s previous two nights. DJ Sprinkles’ hazy and lush pads hung thick in the air, interplaying dense, groove-driven chords against Intergalactic Gary’s own pop-driven Italo in the room next door. The appearance of The Secret Lodge downstairs, an ‘80s-era strip club-turned-cocktail bar redolent of early Twin Peaks, heightened the night’s more lighthearted atmosphere and couched it within the whimsical percussive stylings of various unannounced Polish jazz and improv groups later revealed as Rychlicki Szpura Ayler, Artur Majewski, Zebry a Mit and Pilokatabaza.

This year’s Unsound was such a powerful cultural event in part because of its organizers’ attention to this kind of thoughtful, diverse and musically liberated programming. But its success was also due to the curators’ mindfulness towards demographic balance. Nearly each event showcased a strong contingent of local talent as well as a large number of female, queer and gender non-conforming artists, and women played headlining slots on each stage on both Friday and Saturday night. Despite the increasingly ubiquitous dialogue surrounding gender representation on festival lineups, it’s rare to find any organization championing these ideals to the extent that the Unsound team has. What’s equally if not more impressive is that they pay heed to local talent by acting as a platform for fledgling Polish artists to showcase their work.

This practice stands in opposition to many other popular electronic music festivals, and especially to those that have grown to the point that they’ve launched satellite locations in multiple international locations and colonize local lineups with artists imported from abroad. In its 15th edition, then, Unsound festival not only offers a challenging alternative to the many other festivals happening in Europe during this time; it continues to be underground music’s heavy, reassuring heartbeat.

Inner Solar Power: the Art of the Sun Salutation.

And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth,
“You owe me.”
Look what happens with love like that.
It lights up the sky.

~ Rumi

I have a love/hate relationship with Sun Salutations. Surya Namaskara is probably the single most common thing taught in modern yoga classes.

Many hatha yoga lineages have their own variation of the beloved sun salute, and they vary widely.

There was a time that I got so sick of teaching Sun Salutations, so I quit for awhile. But, nowadays, most of my classes do involve at least a few rounds of them (or Moon Salutations, if we’re feeling more mellow).

Here’s how:

Stand with your feet firmly planted on the ground.

Imagine roots growing down connecting you to the earth’s core.
Rise up through your bones.
Lift your crown to the sky.
Press your palms together and take this moment to set a silent intention.
Make a wish.
Dedicate your practice.

Inhale, lifting your arms and hands overhead.
Reach for the sun.
Exhale, diving forward.
Touch your legs, ankles, feet or the floor.

(It doesn’t matter where you reach.)
Bend your knees if your hamstrings are tight

Inhale, launching your right leg back into a runner’s lunge.
Gaze out toward the horizon.
Get ready for the race.
Only there’s no competition.
The goal is to let go of goals.

Breathe here, with awareness, with gratitude.

This is the first round.
Your body is still warming up.
Move your hips up and down several times.
Be gentle yet firm.
On an exhale, step your left foot back to meet the right.

Now we’re in plank pose (the top of a push-up).
The body is strong and straight, a line of energy from head to heels.
As slowly as you can, lower down to your belly.
Inhale, pressing into your palms and the tops of your pointed feet.

You are a striking cobra.
Roll your shoulders down away from your ears.
Open your heart and gaze to the sky.

With an exhale, find your way to downward dog—
lifting your pelvis up, lengthening your arms, legs and spine
It doesn’t matter if your heels won’t reach the ground
Wiggle in dog pose;
bend your knees and shimmy your hips or lift your legs.
Move however your body wants to move

Then be still.
Take four deep breaths in paired with four exhales full of ease,
Releasing tension, releasing effort, releasing worry, releasing judgement.

On your next inhale, step your right foot forward
(for the runner’s lunge on the opposite side).
Notice—with compassion, without self-judgement or self-righteousness—
if you are tighter on one side or the other.
(It doesn’t really matter.)
(Almost everybody is imbalanced.)
(Actually there no such thing as perfect balance.)

Just notice.

Step your left foot forward to meet your right.
Uttanasana—standing forward bend.
Send love to your hamstrings, whether or not they are your enemies.

Feel the energy of the ground beneath your feet, the earth.

inhale as you lift your torso back up to standing.
Lift your arms out to the sides and overhead.
Praise Ganesh!
Praise the Sun!
Bring your hands together and down in  front of your heart center, pressing the palms and fingers together vibrantly.

(This is one round… just 107 more to go! I like to mix in Warrior One, Warrior Two, Triangle, and lots of other lunge variations as I practice Sun Salutations. But to be perfectly honest, I’ve only done 108 rounds once in my life. Usually it’s more like four.)

The Best Protection is Early Detection

Did you know that about 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime?

Or, that there are currently over 3.1 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S.?

At Eagles Landing Family Practice, we follow the American Cancer Society’s recommendation that “all women over 40 years of age should have a mammogram performed annually” – one of the best ways for women to monitor their risk for breast cancer.

What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is a low-dose x-ray procedure of the breast that allows visualization of the internal structure. This plays a key role in early breast cancer detection and helps decrease breast cancer deaths – also being used for screenings or diagnostic purposes.

At ELFP, we also offer 3D mammograms – with our Pink Ribbon Imaging Facility being home to two of the state’s Genius 3D mammography machines. This advanced technology is proven to detect more invasive breast cancers and decrease inaccurate reports and false alarms. It is the single-most effective method of early breast cancer detection, since it can often identify cancer several years before physical symptoms develop.

Now… maybe you’re asking, “Why should I get a mammogram? I’m perfectly healthy”. Well, research has proven that after 40 years of age, the risk of breast cancer increases drastically. And sadly, 7 out of 10 women in their 40’s who died from breast cancer did not have a mammogram. On top of that, 25% of those who’ve suffered from breast cancer showed signs or symptoms – meaning 75% of women showed no noticeable signs of having breast cancer; such as lumps or tightened skin.

While these facts may seem a bit frightening, mammograms should not be. The issue for most life-threatening cases of breast cancer has been that it’s found too late, already spreading throughout the body. And besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women and is the second leading cause of death in women. Knowing it exists is just not enough. That’s why we want you to request your mammogram appointment as soon as possible, because the earlier you discover the unexpected, the better chance of overcoming it.

In the past, ELFP has given free 3D upgrades in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness month. However, this year we are choosing to give back and support the Breast Cancer Survivor’s Network by donating 20 dollars for every mammogram performed at our ELFP Imaging Center during the month of October (up to $10,000). Along with our donations, we will be giving away a free gift at checkout to our mammogram patients.

In 2018, an estimated 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 63,960 new cases of non-invasive (situ) breast cancer. And though death rates have been decreasing since 1989, an estimated 40,920 women in the U.S. are expected to lose their battle to breast cancer this year. But, together we can make a difference.

Eagles Landing Family Practice has designed a comprehensive women’s healthcare for the way you live, providing the protection you need– with mammograms now covered by most insurances at no cost to you (excluding 3D mammograms), and our convenient weekday hours and Saturday appointments.

So…schedule your mammogram today at our state-of-the art Imaging Center, knowing that you can rest easy while receiving the best care and fast results.

Why? Because early detection saves lives.

People Think Kim Kardashian's New Palette Ripped Off Kylie Cosmetics

Kim Kardashian copy Kylie Jenner eyeshadow palette Royal Peach

Yesterday, Kim Kardashian and her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic finally revealed their upcoming makeup collaboration to the world and to say we were left shaking is an understatement.

Not only does Kim look amazing in the campaign images, but the pigment on that eyeshadow palette left us practically drooling at the mouth.

KKW Beauty

As part of the collab, Mario and Kim have also teamed up to create two lip glosses and one lipstick but, let's be real here, all we care about is that eyeshadow palette.

Consisting of ten shades—all inspired by the looks Mario has created on Kim over the last ten years—the palette of dreams contains a mixture of matte and shimmer warm toned neutrals, with one pop of electric blue.

Of course, it wasn't long until people on the Internet started drawing comparisons to other palettes and Kim was being called out (yet again) for copying younger sister Kylie Jenner.

Earlier this month Kim was accused of following in Kylie's footsteps by releasing her own concealer range with KKW Beauty, not long after Kylie launched her range of Skin Concealers.

Now, people are dragging Kim on Twitter for supposedly copying Kylie's Royal Peach palette.

Kylie Cosmetics Royal Peach Palette

KKW Beauty x Mario Eyeshadow Palette
KKW Beauty

It wasn't just Twitter, either—people on Instagram were quick to voice their opinion on the similarities between the two palettes. These were some comments on the launch post:

"Looks like the royal palette from Kylie"

"Wish it just didn't look so similar to Kylie's."

"Instantly thought of the Kylie Royal Peach palette. Looks so similar with colours. She even has the blue in the same spot, just on the bottom row and not on the top like hers 😒 wish she could have been more original."

"This looks just like the Kylie palette."

"Looks exactly like Kylie's kit! And Kim usually does a nude eye look!"

"Is that not one of Kylie's palettes??"

To be fair to Kim, if it weren't for the blue shade I don't think anyone would draw these comparisons, but hey, all publicity is good publicity...right Kim?

Modern Americana

How do I wear Americana without looking like one of those Daughters of the American Revolution?

When it comes to pulling off looks inspired by our glorious nation, less is more. When wearing stars, stripes, and any sort of Native American feathers and fringe, you really need to take as much of the cliché factor out of it as you can. The best way to explain is to show an example of who did Americana right and why. So, example: William Rast fall 2009, look number 20. It's a basic T-shirt and jean-skirt ensemble touched with all sorts of Americana—the flag, the feather, the denim—and yet it looks totally modern. With all due respect to the nation, full-on red, white, and blue stars-and-stripes clothing looks best on small gold-medal-winning gymnasts on the front of Wheaties boxes. If you take a closer look at the T-shirt, you'll see that though the design is clearly American flag, it's a stripped-down, arty rendering of it—just the stripes. Even the dark heather-gray hue of the T-shirt feels cool and offhand, much cooler than classic white. The denim skirt has a high waist and a smattering of hefty, tough grommets, which makes the ordinary denim skirt much more stylish and interesting. An earthy bit of leather wrapped around the wrist and dangling from the neck with a feather is all the accessorizing needed—it feels a little spontaneous and is much easier to pull off than feather earrings. No matter how hard we try to like them, putting feathers on either side of our head makes us feel like some small fluffy animal. Stick with a necklace or bracelet. Then—that's it! Some classic booties or plain leather sandals and you're set.
