Why Well-Designed Research is So Important

Arranging and completing large scale, long term research trials to study people’s lifestyle is a complex task. There are so many considerations to adjust for including variables such as age, gender, race, family history of health problems, smoking, income, and on and on. Also, finding an accurate cross sample of the population is key to any research. Even after all of this is accomplished there is always the question of whether the participants actually made a significant modification in their lifestyle during the study.

Three research papers were published recently reporting the data from the Women’s Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial. This was a trial with almost 50,000 women who were studied over eight years. One paper reported on whether there was a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke in those who ate a lower fat diet (JAMA 2006; 295:655-666). The other papers were concerned with the effect of a lower fat diet on breast cancer (JAMA 2006; 295:629-642) and colon cancer (JAMA 2006; 295:643-654). At first glance, the research doesn’t appear to show much difference between a low-fat diet and a conventional diet.

There has been criticism amongst scientists that this study wasn’t long enough to show significant change.

There were, however, many other difficulties encountered by the researchers during this trial.

The first flaw is that the participants in the study did not mirror what the typical American eats. In 2003 we ate, on average, 2,757 calories and 106 grams of fat per day. Interestingly, this represents a 63% increase in fat from 1970, when we ate 65 grams of fat per person per day. In 1970, 65 grams of fat represented only 26% of our diet, and we now eat 35% of our calories as fat.

At the beginning of the study, participants ate about 1800 calories per day (much less than a typical American). Of this, 37% was fat, or about 74 grams of fat (again, much less than the typical American). At the end of the study the women in the group eating a low-fat diet were consuming 46 grams of fat while the comparison group was eating 64 grams of fat.

So both groups ate healthier than the typical American at the beginning of the study and both ate healthier at the end of the study. Because there was a reduction in calories and fat consumed in both groups, the results of the study are questionable.

Secondly, there was not much of an increase in fruits and vegetables in the study group. We now know that this is critical to a healthy diet and to reducing heart disease.

A third consideration is that the goal of the study was to reduce fat to 20% of calories. This target was, however, not met. We have very good data that supports a low-fat diet as being effective in preventing heart disease and the goal set by researchers was a good one. Since this wasn’t met the study conclusions are uncertain.

There are other considerations about the results that don’t allow us to draw good conclusions from the information. The women were all over fifty and, while there is research that shows it’s never too late to make lifestyle changes, the follow up time may be to short to show changes in this group significant enough to prevent cardiovascular disease or cancer.

Most importantly, the study wasn’t designed to modify different types of fat. Between the time the study was started and now, we have come a long way in understanding that it is more than just reducing total fat that is important. We know that the type of fat one eats is a critical factor in improving health.

There is good news to be found in the study. When you look at those women who ate the least amount of saturated fat, trans fats and more fruits and vegetables, there was a reduction in the risk of heart attack. Those who ate less than 8.5% of their calories as saturated fat had significantly lower incidence of colon cancer. Likewise, the risk of a heart attack was reduced in those who ate lower amounts of saturated fat, trans fats, and more fruits and vegetables.

The imperfections experienced by scientists with this research don’t cancel out the fact that we have many excellent studies that prove eating fewer calories, less saturated fat, very little trans fats, more Omega-3 fats, more whole grains and more fruits and vegetables helps you live longer and live better.

Eat well, eat healthy, enjoy life!

Mediation and Arbitration

Indiana Arbitration and Mediation Attorneys

Lawyers for Arbitration and Mediation Matters in Indianapolis

Not every case is best suited to be resolved in the courtroom. For cases like this, there are alternative options to the traditional business litigation. These are known collectively as alternative dispute resolution and include resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration. Other forms of alternative dispute resolution include collaborative law, negotiation, and conciliation.

At Due Doyle Fanning & Alderfer, LLP, we are prepared to take any case to court when necessary. However, we recognize that this is not necessary for every case, and when alternative dispute resolution is the most appropriate method for resolving a dispute, our attorneys work with our clients to ensure they understand and take full advantage of the process to receive a fair settlement.

With mediation, both parties meet with a neutral third party, known as a mediator, to work through their dispute and reach a solution that meets both parties' needs. These meetings occur in private areas, such as the mediator's office, rather than in the courtroom.

The mediator guides the disputing parties through their issue by leading a dialogue and encouraging each to voice their thoughts about the dispute. This is so he or she can develop an understanding of the dispute and guide the parties toward a solution. Once the parties have reached a solution, they work with their attorneys to draft and sign a settlement.

Many individuals who resolve disputes through mediation report higher levels of satisfaction with their settlements than those who resolve them through litigation. This is because mediation allows the parties involved with the dispute to have more control over their dispute's resolution.

With arbitration, the disputing parties have much less control over their dispute's resolution. Instead, it is left up to the arbitrator, which can be an individual or a panel who examines every portion of the dispute to develop a fair settlement for the parties. Each party submits its position on an issue, either in writing or through a hearing, to the arbitrator for review. Arbitration can be much faster and cheaper than litigation.

A settlement reached through arbitration can be binding or non-binding. When a settlement is binding, all terms contained within it are final. With a non-binding settlement, the arbitrator merely states the parties' rights and may determine liability for damages caused when applicable, but does not finalize a settlement or issue an award.

We can also help you determine which of these resolution methods is the right method for your case.

Hyper IgE syndrome (HIES), a complex of primary immunodeficiencies manifesting during childhood, was named in 1966 by Davis et al., as Job's syndrome after the Biblical prophet Job who was "smote with sore boils. [1] Besides characteristic triad of high serum IgE (>2000 IU/ml), recurrent skin abscesses and pneumonia with pneumatocele formation, other common features are atopic dermatitis, scoliosis, fractures and dental abnormalities. [2] Sporadic as well as familial cases occur. [3] While multisystem involvement is the rule in sporadic and autosomal dominant (AD-HIES) types, autosomal recessive (AR-HIES) cases have severe viral infections and potentially lethal neurologic complications but lack skeletal and dental involvement. [3]

A 7-year-old female patient born of non-consanguineous marriage brought with severe impetiginized skin lesions, intertrigo and lymphadenopathy. History of recurrent skin/respiratory tract infections and three hospitalizations for 'pneumonia' since infancy, was reported. The patient was treated for pulmonary tuberculosis at the age of two years. The parents and siblings were unaffected.

General examination showed a pale poorly built/nourished child with coarse facies [Figure 1] and significant bilateral axillary and left inguinal lymphadenopathy [Figure 2]. Dermatological examination revealed generalized xerosis, lichenification, excoriations, angular cheilitis, perioral/pubic encrusted papuloplaques, axillary/inguinal intertrigo [Figure 1] and [Figure 2], non-exfoliation of the primary teeth, scrotal tongue and hyperpigmentation of gingiva and buccal/hard palatine mucosae [Figure 3].{Figure 1}{Figure 2}{Figure 3}

Investigation revealed increased eosinophilia (735/μL) and serum IgE (≥ 2500 IU/ml). Hemogloblin was 9.6 gm %. The chest X-ray showed pleural thickening and patchy consolidation of upper lung zones. Brain CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging were normal. Fine needle aspiration cytology of lymph nodes was non contributory. Skin biopsy revealed eosinophilic spongiotic dermatitis [Figure 4]. C3 and C4 levels were normal and nitroblue tetrazolium test negative. Absolute CD4 and CD8 T cells were 622 and 240/mm 3 respectively. The patient's score as per National Health Scoring was 32. [4]{Figure 4}

Based on the above, diagnosis of AD-HIES was made and the patient gradually improved with treatment consisting of antibiotics, antifungals, emollients and oral vitamin C.

After the initial description by Davis et al., of two patients with red hair, severe chronic dermatitis, cold abscesses and recurrent pneumonia, Buckley et al. in 1972 defined the classical triad of Job's syndrome comprising of extremely high IgE levels, eczema and recurrent skin and lung infections; hence the eponym of Buckley's syndrome for this entity. [2] Over 250 cases, occurring one in a million population, have since been reported in the world literature [1] Whereas, 10 (5 sporadic, 4 dominant and one recessive) have been from India after the first case report by Pherwani et al. in 1994. [5],[6],[7]

The pathophysiology of this diverse syndrome is not completely understood. [8] Three different gene defects have been related to lack of response/absence of Th17 cells and the resultant cytokine abnormalities. [3] AD-HIES is a result of mutations in the signal transducer and the activator of transcription 3 gene leading to neutrophil chemotactic defect or Th1/Th2 cytokine imbalance as a result Ig class switching towards IgE. [1],[2] AR-HIES results from mutation in TYK2 and defective dedicator of cytokinesis leading to disruptive production of a protein involved in the regulation of the actin skeleton. [8]

After the neonatal onset of pustular and eczematoid rash affecting the face and the scalp, the patient's infancy is characterized by recurrent staphylococcal infections of the skin, ear, sinuses, mastoid and lungs. [3] Characteristic facies include greater interalar width, longer outer canthal distance and prominent brows/supraorbital ridge with deep-seated eyes. [6] Intraorally, retention of primary dentition, high arched palate, central tongue depressions and recurrent oral candidiasis occur. [3],[8] Skeletal abnormalities include hyperextensibility of joints, scoliosis and osteoporosis. [3] Pneumonias are typically complicated by lung abscesses, bronchiectasis, bronchopleural fistulas and pneumatocele which predispose to opportunistic infections leading invariably to the development of chronic respiratory insufficiency. The main cause of mortality in HIES; hemoptysis complicating lung abscess and cystic lung disease being next common. [1],[9] Cranial abnormalities include Chiari 1 malformations and craniosynostosis. There is increased risk of Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. [1]

The more severe autosomal recessive form of the disease is often fatal in childhood due to sepsis. CNS vasculitic sequelae (facial paralysis, hemiplegia, ischemic infarction, and subarachnoid hemorrhages, etc.) are next common causes of its high mortality. [1],[2]

AD-HIES has serum IgE concentrations >2000 IU/ml and eosinophilia >700 cells/μL. In AR-HIES other immunoglobulin isotypes are also raised and there is severe eosinophilia (up to 17,500/μL). [2]

Prompt treatment of infections and drainage of abscesses is paramount. [2] In addition to topical antibacterials, emollients and corticosteroids, long term systemic antibiotics/antifungals can prevent infections and lung parenchymal damage. [8] Interferons, immunoglobulin supplementation, cyclosporine A, methotrexate, levamisole, cimetidine, ascorbic acid and transfer factor have occasionally been used. [6],[7]

Despite a diligent search of the literature, we have failed to find any previously reported association of scrotal tongue and intraoral hyperpigmentation in any case of AD-HIES which is present in our typical case of this entity.

RT139 - Sharing Experiences Among Development Studies Masters Accredited by the EADI International Accreditation Council
Convened by Joost Monks and Laura Camfield (both from International Accreditation Council – IAC-EADI)

Since 2011 EADI’s International Accreditation Council (IAC) has accredited and reaccredited a number of MA programmes in Development Studies, notably in China, Colombia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Samoa and the United Kingdom. The roundtable, featuring programme leaders and student delegates of the accredited programmes in question will highlight post-accreditation experiences on the 3 key areas of IAC’s accreditation, i.e. inter/multidisciplinarity, context-sensitivity and policy relevance paying particular attention to issues of solidarity, peace and social justice. The main entry points for debate are: • how they work on inter/multidisciplinarity on these issues • how they build in context-sensitivity • how they engage with the development process and find the balance between conceptual analysis and influencing policy processes and practice, • how they enhance critical thinking around student research, research methods in particular. • what are the possible areas of cooperation amongst accredited programmes

A Different Kind of Author Tour

Wednesday, June 28th, 2017

Bestselling author JD Vance and AOL co-founder Steve Case will travel together this fall reports USA Today, on the next wave of the Rise of the Rest program, a “campaign to drum up interest in tech start-ups not based in Silicon Valley, New York, Boston, Seattle and other coastal tech hubs.”

This is the fourth year of the project dreamed up by Case, although it is the first for Vance. After a whirlwind visit and a series of pitch meetings, Case invests $100,000 in one local start-up. Thus far he has visited 26 cities.

“The data is the data and last year the (National Venture Capital Association) said that 75% of venture capital went to just three states: California, New York and Massachusetts,” Case told the paper. His venture capital firm started the Rise of the Rest program to help correct that by identifying and supporting start-ups across the Rust Belt and Midwest.

Vance’s bestselling book Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis (Harper; HarperAudio; OverDrive Sample) is currently #7 on the NYT Hardback Nonfiction list after 47 straight weeks. Film rights have been acquired as well. The memoir arrived as the presidential campaign was heating up. The media embraced Vance’s sympathetic portrait of life in the Rust Belt as an explanation for the deep divides that drove the election.

Friday, June 16th, 2017

The book world has its own group of leakers. BuzzFeed News obtained a draft of Milo Yiannopoulos’s Dangerous as it was submitted to Simon and Schuster in January before the project was cancelled.

Yiannopoulos is now self-publishing the title, due out on July 4, but BuzzFeed says readers should not bother, calling it “terrible… no good by any measure … a staggering failure … To begin with, there is little news in the Dangerous draft, unless you believe the specifics of Yiannopoulos’s beauty regimen to be newsworthy.”

They also say that Yiannopoulos is clearly past his sell by date, concluding “Who cares if some English carpetbagger says mean things on the internet? The United States has bigger things to worry about than Milo Yiannopoulos now.”

Few libraries we checked had ordered copies. It has fallen from its #2 placement on Amazon to #94.

Behind Terrorist Lines

Monday, June 12th, 2017

I Was Told to Come Alone: My Journey Behind the Lines of Jihad by Souad Mekhennet (Macmillan/Henry Holt and Co.; Tantor Audio; OverDrive Sample) is rising on Amazon after the author was interviewed on CBS This Morning.

Mekhennet, a national security correspondent for The Washington Post is also interviewed in the NYTdescribing her book in ways sure to bring in readers:

“A combination of memoir and reportage, this book gives the reader unique access behind the lines of jihad. This is a book to understand what drives people into the hands of recruiters, and the nature of the threat that is facing the West today.”

Getting to YES

Monday, June 12th, 2017

Author and activist Naomi Klein appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe today to talk about her new book No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump’s Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need (Consortium Book Sales/Haymarket Books; OverDrive Sample).

It leaped on Amazon’s rankings as a result, moving from #98 to #36.

Taking a cue from the UK election, she says what helped Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party do so well and gain so many seats was that “he came out with a bold manifesto speaking to [voters’] better selves. He lead with ideas and that gave people hope.” She says the Democrats are missing a “tangible offer of how [they] are going to fix” what is wrong.

The new buzz adds to positive coverage in The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.

Driving While Female

Sunday, June 11th, 2017

Terry Gross talks to author Manal al-Sharif on Fresh Air about restrictions on women’s rights in Saudi Arabia. Sharif has just written Daring to Drive: A Saudi Woman’s Awakening (S&S; S&S Audio).

She was filmed while breaking a long held prohibition on women driving. The video went viral, leading to her arrest and was only released after worldwide protests. She has since moved to Australia.

Saudi women are assigned to a male guardian, she says, who must give permission for almost anything, including leaving the house. As women grow older, their guardianship simply changes from one man to another. It’s no wonder she wanted to tell Ivanka Trump to “just be quiet” when she praised Saudi for their progress on equal rights, while women sit in jail for trying to further those rights.

LJ gives it a starred review, writing it is “a striking, nuanced memoir of what it means to ‘drive while female’.”

Friday, June 9th, 2017

Dallas Police Chief David O. Brown riveted the nation with his humane response to the mass police shootings in his city last July.

Brown’s memoir, Called to Rise: A Life in Faithful Service to the Community That Made Me (PRH/Ballantine; RH Audio/BOT; OverDrive Sample) is getting strong media attention.

NPR’s All Things Considers has an interview in which he reflects on the lessons of his life and says the solution to the nation’s problems is “not yelling and screaming, but ‘let’s sit down and listen to each other and invite someone home for dinner.'” A notable touchstone from his own life occurred when a white student in his newly integrated grade school invited him home for dinner.

On The View he talks about people working together for a common aim, putting skin in the game if you want things to change, and the police officers who are not suited to do the job.

Brown has appeared on other ABC shows, including Good Morning America and Nightline. In November 2016, as he retired from the police force, Brown became an ABC News contributor. He has also been on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper, Fox & Friends, and MSNBC’s Morning Joe.

To Shelves After All: DANGEROUS Gets a Pub Date

Tuesday, June 6th, 2017

In the wake of his lost book deal, the self-styled right-wing “provocateur” Milo Yiannopoulos is self-publishing his book Dangerous. It is due out on July 4 as a hardcover and an ebook.

It is listed on Amazon where it instantly became a best seller and is currently at #2. In typical fashion, Yiannopoulos claims it is “the most controversial book of the decade.” The cover is now the banner on his facebook site where over 2 million have liked his page.

Simon and Schuster cancelled the book deal in February when, as the NYT reported, a video was released in which Yiannopoulos “condones sexual relations with boys as young as 13 and laughs off the seriousness of pedophilia by Roman Catholic priests.” He also lost his position as Senior Editor at Breitbart News in the uproar.

The self-publishing route had been predicted by book insiders according to EW, with one publisher telling the magazine, “with the hoopla around this book that might frighten a traditional publisher, I think if he wants it out, he’ll have to do it himself. He’s a marketing machine, albeit a negative publicity machine. But the question is: Will booksellers carry it?”

That remains an open question. Publishers Weekly reports that it is “unclear if Yiannopoulus has found a distributor to get the print edition of the book into brick and mortar retailers.”

Thursday, June 1st, 2017

An interview on NPR’s Morning Edition has sent Richard Reeves’s forthcoming book, Dream Hoarders: How the American Upper Middle Class Is Leaving Everyone Else in the Dust, Why That Is a Problem, and What to Do about It (Brookings Institution Press, June 13), soaring on Amazon. It is now ranked #27, up from a lowly #53,949.

The episode is part of the show’s “The History of Our Time” series. Steve Inskeep describes the series as investigating, the big trends “driving our history.” He interviews Reeves who says that the upper-middle class, those making six figure incomes and above, dominate the best schools, live in the best homes, and pass on the best futures to their children, at the cost of everyone else.

He calls this “opportunity hoarding.”

Reeves, now an American citizen but originally from the U.K., contends that the American class system is even worse than the system of royalty that rules his birth country. In the UK, they make no bones about the privileges of the aristocracy while in the US, we “have a class system that operates every bit as ruthlessly as the British class system but under the veneer of classless meritocracy. There isn’t even a self awareness.”

In the end, Reeves says, the upper-middle class have created a dangerous separation of themselves from the rest of society and that divide is ruinous, “They are also disproportionately powerful and the fact that they are not only separate but unaware of the degree to which the system works in their favor strikes me as one of the most dangerous political facts of our time.”

The book was not reviewed prepub and many libraries have not yet to ordered copies.

Possible TV Series: SHATTERED

Sunday, May 7th, 2017

9780553447088_1273bOne of the autopsies of the 2016 election might be made into a limited TV series reports the NYT.

Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes (PRH/Crown; RH Audio/BOT; OverDrive Sample) has been optioned by Sony’s TriStar Television.

The paper says it has become “a mainstay in dinner-party chatter in political circles since its publication.” In library circles it is doing well too, as we reported earlier, holds soared on light ordering.

It hit the  NYT  Hardcover Nonfiction list at #1 last week, slipping to #2 this week, displaced by Sheryl Sandberg’s Option B

The daily NYT‘s chief book critic Michiko Kakutani calls it “compelling”and The Globe and Mail writes that the authors “may be credited with banging the first hot-tipped galvanized spiral-shank nail into her historical coffin … [it is] an unfavourable – no, an unforgiving – look inside the Clinton presidential campaign of 2016.” Staff from the Clinton campaign are pushing back.

Deadline Hollywood reports that this would make the fourth TV project focused on the election. Mark Halperin and John Heilemann have a project with HBO. Annapurna and Mark Boal (Zero Dark Thirty) have one in the works they are keeping under wraps, saying only it will be “Trump-centric.” Tomorrow Studios is making what they hope will become an ongoing series, called Trump: It Happened Here.

The NYT says of this newest project that no writers or stars have been chosen for the project and a network “is not yet attached.”

SHATTERED Soars To Bestseller Status

Thursday, April 27th, 2017

9780553447088_1273bThe news media is focused on Trump’s first 100 days, but it seems people still want to know about the campaigns that preceded it. Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes (PRH/Crown; RH Audio/BOT; OverDrive Sample) hits the new USA Today bestseller list at number 3.

Library holds have grown dramatically since the book’s publication date, increasing ratios at impressive rates, albeit on cautious ordering. One library we checked has moved from a ratio of 1:1 to 53:1. Another jumped from 6:1 to 42:1.

As we noted earlier, NYT chief book critic Michiko Kakutani calls it “compelling” and says “Although the Clinton campaign was widely covered, and many autopsies have been conducted in the last several months, the blow-by-blow details in Shattered— and the observations made here by campaign and Democratic Party insiders — are nothing less than devastating … and while it’s clear that some of these people are spinning blame retroactively, many are surprisingly candid about the frustrations they experienced during the campaign.”

9781250120618_caadfA potential future female presidential candidate also debuts on the list. Landing at No. 8  is This Fight Is Our Fight: The Battle to Save America’s Middle Class by Elizabeth Warren (Macmillan/Metropolitan Books; Macmillan Audio; OverDrive Sample). She tells the paper’s Washington Bureau Chief, Susan Page, “The direction that Donald Trump and his team want to drive this country is a direction that I don’t think America’s middle class can survive.”

The authors of both books have been making the media rounds.

White House Insider

Wednesday, April 19th, 2017

9781455588220_ced4bTerry Gross interviewed Alyssa Mastromonaco yesterday on NPR’s Fresh Air, sending her memoir Who Thought This Was a Good Idea?: And Other Questions You Should Have Answers to When You Work in the White House (Hachette/Twelve; OverDrive Sample) into Amazon’s Top 50, currently at $37.

President Obama’s deputy chief of staff for operations. Mastromonaco shares insider details about his administration, often in contrast with Trump’s, including how the president’s personal travel budget works, the threats that face presidents in the post-9/11 world, and the selection process for Cabinet positions.

Seemingly small details underscore that women are still newcomers in the world of politics, such as the lack of women’s bathrooms in the West Wing.

The book spent two weeks on the NYT Hardcover Nonfiction list and got attention when it was published last month. People reviewed it, saying it is “brimming with … humorous, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, as well as up-close-and-personal moments with Obama that shed new light on who he is as a leader, man and friend.” New York Magazine ran an interview, as did USA Today.

Holds remain strong in most libraries we checked, several running at 4:1 and a few others topping 7:1.

SHATTERED Examines the Clinton Campaign

Tuesday, April 18th, 2017

9780553447088_1273bHeavy media attention is sending an account of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign soaring up the Amazon’s sales rankings to #3, Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes (PRH/Crown; RH Audio/BOT; OverDrive Sample).

In today’s NYT, chief book critic Michiko Kakutani calls it “compelling” and says “Although the Clinton campaign was widely covered, and many autopsies have been conducted in the last several months, the blow-by-blow details in ‘Shattered’— and the observations made here by campaign and Democratic Party insiders — are nothing less than devastating … and while it’s clear that some of these people are spinning blame retroactively, many are surprisingly candid about the frustrations they experienced during the campaign.”

Most other media sources assigned they political reporter to the book.  Having been closer to the campaign on a day-by-day basis, they offer a different take. NPR’s Washington desk correspondent, Ron Elving, says “There is no Big Reveal, no shocking secret answer. Instead we get a slow-building case against the concept and execution of the Clinton campaign, with plenty of fault falling squarely on the candidate herself.”

A Washington Post piece by senior politics editor Steven Ginsberg is even less positive: “the quick-fire version proves too limiting” he says noting there will  “surely be many books about what really happened inside the 2016 campaigns. Going first has its advantages — perhaps in sales and attention.”

Will Shattered be the next Game Change, the best selling analysis of the 2008 campaign by Mark Halperin and John Heinemann? Elving does not think so, saying the personalities involved in that campaign, Obama, John Edwards, John McCain, and Sarah Palin were “more compelling and telegenic, calling out to turn themselves into the TV movie they became,” adding, “Ultimately, Allen and Parnes get inside the campaign but not inside the mind of Hillary Clinton. Much the same seems to have been true for most of her staff and, ultimately, the voters.”

Halperin and Heinemann are working on their own book on the campaign, following up on their successful Showtime series, “The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth,” now in its third season, covering Trump’s first 100 days in office. As yet untitled, the book is expected to be published early next year. HBO has already acquired the rights to it.

Clinton will publish her own memoir in September. Described as a collection of her personal reflections on quotes and stories that have helped her “celebrate the good times, laugh at the absurd times, persevere during the hard times,” it doesn’t sound like it will delve deeply into the campaign.

There were no prepub reviews for Shattered, indicating it was embargoed, and libraries have ordered it very lightly, with some systems facing 5:1 ratios.

Partisan Politics

Tuesday, April 4th, 2017

9780812993523_c1502Rising to #75 on Amazon’s sales rankings today is the book We Do Our Part: Toward a Fairer and More Equal America by Charles Peters (PRH/RH; OverDrive Sample),

On the PBS News Hour last night Peters, a life-long democrat, a founder of the Peace Corps, and the founding editor of the nonprofit political magazine, The Washington Monthly, tells Judy Woodruff the book grew out of his worry that snobbery and greed have split the country. He blames his own party for becoming too involved in making money and too interested in status.

The book has also gotten coverage in the NYT, which calls it “a desperate plea to his country and party to resist the temptations of greed, materialism and elitism — vices he believes have corroded the civic culture and led to the Democrats’ failure last year.” The Atlantic says “it fills in a missing part in our current political discussion.”

Wednesday, March 29th, 2017

The trailer for Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power has been released:

As we posted earlier, the sequel to Gore’s Academy Award winning film, An Inconvenient Truth, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival where it received a standing ovation. It is now gearing up for its wide release, beginning with the politically pointed trailer.

Variety says the film depicts the “dire consequences of a warming earth — from flooding in Miami and the Philippines, to the worst drought on record in Syria, bringing human suffering there that predated the ongoing civil war, to air pollution so bad in some parts of China that life expectancy has declined by six years.”

A companion book will be published in May, An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, Al Gore (Macmillan/Rodale Books).

The documentary will open in theaters on July 28, 2017.

DARK MONEY Fills The Swamp

Thursday, March 23rd, 2017

9780307947901_fddd1Jane Mayer’s 2016 best seller, Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right (PRH/Doubleday; RH Large Print; RH Audio/BOT; trade paperback; OverDrive Sample) is back in the news, and rising again on Amazon, jumping from #468 to #48, after the author published a new piece for this week’s The New Yorker entitled “The Reclusive Hedge-Fund Tycoon Behind The Trump Presidency.”

Mayer was interviewed on NPR’s Fresh Air yesterday about the subjects of the story, Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah, who have “been major backers of Breitbart News and Steve Bannon’s other projects for years, and they were influential in getting Bannon and Kellyanne Conway into leadership positions in the Trump campaign.”

Dark Money was one of The New York Time’10 Best Books of 2016 and is currently a finalist for the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award, which recognizes a “book of extraordinary originality and lasting influence.” The winner of that award will be announced on Monday.

Most libraries we checked still have holds queues.

Scripture in Tradition: The Bible and Its Interpretation in the Orthodox Church

John Breck

“[...]Scripture is Tradition, in the sense that the New Testament writings are a part of Tradition and constitute its normative element. Those writings came forth from the Church’s life and proclamation, and they have continued through the ages to be the measure, rule or ‘canon’ of Christian faith. The purpose of this book is to describe and illustrate how Eastern patristic tradition interpreted the canonical writings, and how Orthodoxy continues even today to ground its theological reflection in Scripture as read through the lens of patristic theôria. That lens, as we shall see, provides a vision of God and his saving purpose as they are revealed to the Church, and through the Church to the world, by the ‘two hands of the Father’: Christ and the Holy Spirit.”

Part One: Aims and Methods of Orthodox Biblical Interpretation
   1 The Bible in the Orthodox Church
   2 Principles of Patristic Hermeneutics
   3 Examples of Patristic Exegesis
   4 In Quest of an Orthodox Lectio Divina
Part Two: Rediscovering Biblical Chiasmus
   5 Chiasmus as a Key to Biblical Interpretation
   6 John 21: Appendix, Epilogue or Conclusion?
   7 The Function of Πᾶς in 1 John 2:20
   8 Mary in the New Testament
Part Three: Christ and the Spirit in Scripture and Tradition
   9 Christ and the Spirit in Nicene Tradition
   10 Chalcedonian Christology and the Humanity of Christ
   11 Jesus Christ: The “Face” of the Spirit
   12 Prayer of the Heart: Sacrament of the Presence of God

The review of the pension reform has turned into a virtual deadlock in the National Assembly: on the third day of debates on Wednesday, reminders to the regulations and suspensions succeeded one another in great tension, preventing the progress of work on the thousands of amendments.

From the opening of the meeting, the tone was set with reminders to the LR regulations asking for clarification on the financing of the reform, and the left denouncing the rules in force for the examination of the 41,000 amendments.

In a stormy atmosphere, the three left-wing groups – PS, PCF, and LFI – contested the measures taken the previous day in a conference of the presidents of the Assembly to criss-cross the debate, notably providing for a single speaker on the identical amendments.

For the left, it is particularly unacceptable that amendments placed in different places of the text fall because they would have the same object.

“It is serious what is happening,” launched Sebastien Jumel (PCF), accusing the president of the Assembly of “authoritarianism”.

Also Read>> CGT slams the door of the financing conference on pension reform

At the perch, Richard Ferrand (LREM) defended the application of a “constant rule” and excluded any new conference of presidents because “moods would change”.

The boss of LR Christian Jacob said that with such a rule, “we arrive at something ridiculous”.

Several session suspensions followed, interspersed with the examination of a handful of amendments, recalling the paralysis of July 2018 during the examination of the draft constitutional revision, collateral victim of the Benalla affair.

During one of the multiple breaks, on the eve of a new inter-professional day of mobilization, several rebellious and communists sang the song of the yellow vests “here we are”.

-“play with fire”-

“What image do we give of our work? This is basic anti-parliamentarianism,” protested the co-rapporteur Nicolas Turquois (MoDem), applauded by the majority, standing, while the Secretary of State Laurent Pietraszewski pleaded to return to the debate.

On Twitter, elected officials said they were “ashamed” that the Assembly “was turning into a circus” or lamented “a sorry Lepine obstruction contest”.

“Be careful, you are playing with fire,” also launched LREM deputy leader Gilles Le Gendre to the opposition.

“The question is no longer that of the debate on pensions but that of the defense of institutions,” he said, in an intervention concluded by a standing ovation from the “walkers” and yet another suspension of the session.

Since Monday, the debates skate on this reform aiming to create a “universal” system of pensions by points. After long discussions on the very title of the bill, the deputies did not start until evening the examination of article 1, devoted to “general principles”.

With Annie Genevard (LR) at the perch, the tension is a little lessened, in a hemicycle always enough supplied. Right and left have disputed that the objectives of the reform are “equity”, “solidarity” or even “freedom of choice for the insured”, as put forward in the bill in a pure “literary gesture”, far from “reality”, in the words of Eric Woerth (LR).

While the co-rapporteur Corinne Vignon took advantage of the support for the reform of the French people encountered by the “walkers”, the communist Sebastien Jumel asked who she had been able to meet in these “Tupperware meetings”, attracting lectern clicks and accusations of sexism by the majority, with a new suspension of session at the end.

In the hope that the calendar can hold, the deputies will sit at least until March 6, with work this weekend.

The specter of the use of the “49-3”, a weapon of the Constitution which allows the government to shorten the debates and to have a bill passed without a vote, looms large.

“We are going towards the total unknown,” admits a government source, who says he is witnessing “this sad spectacle with swinging arms”.

Would the use of “49-3” be a defeat? “Not at all”, replies Florian Bachelier (LREM): “The majority must not be locked into the trap set by the extreme left” and “everyone will take their responsibilities”.

Monday evening, a “walker” predicted: “either it’s painful but we get there (…), or they make Benalla and it blocks completely …”

Nasya in Jwara – Nasal Drops for the Treatment of Fever

By Dr Raghuram Y.S. MD (Ay) & Dr Manasa, B.A.M.S

Nasya – nasal medication, is one among the Panchakarma therapies i.e. 5 cleansing therapies. Nasya includes medicines instilled through the nose. It is not just used as purification therapy. Nasya is of many kinds and different kinds of nasal medications have different types of action and benefits.

Can nasal medications be used in fevers?

Yes, nasal medications can be used in fevers but only in the conditions and stages wherein they are specified to be used.

Types of fever

Like in any other disease, nasya has its benefits in fever too. But it is definitely not a part of regular prescription. This means to say that nasal medicines are not advised to be done or not conducted in all kinds of fevers. It is also not done in all stages of a particular fever. Therefore we can understand that nasya is selective therapy in fevers and should be judiciously used only in the conditions mentioned in the treatises.

Read – Ayurveda Lifestyle and Diet For Fever – 45 Important Things To Know

Right conditions

Nasal medications shall be implemented in the jeerna jwara stage of fevers i.e. when the fevers have been ripened following the initial line of treatment.

Initially the lightning measures, mainly fasting shall be implemented. This will kindle the digestive fire and bring in lightness of the body.

Read – How To Do Fasting? A Step By Step Guide For You

Fasting, sudation, the first 8 days of the fever, gruels prepared with bitter tasting herbs – all these help in digesting the ama in acute fever (taruna jwara). Herbal decoctions shall be given on the 8th day.

After 10 days of onset of fever, gruels, ghee (for oral consumption), meat soup, light to digest foods, milk for drinking, purgation and enema should be given according to the condition of the fever, after accessing the presence or absence of ama.

Conditions for nasal medication – In spite of all these measures to digest ama in acute fevers, if the below mentioned symptoms are present in the fever, nasal medicines should be administered to combat the symptoms in mature fevers / ripened fevers. The symptoms are –

Heaviness of the head
Obstruction in the sense organs – inability of the sense organs to perceive their respective objects
These symptoms also indicate the presence of doshas in the head and the sense organs therein, even after the initial part of fever has been dealt with by above mentioned effective measures.

Objectives of nasal medicines, when they should be done and when not?

The objective of implementing the nasal medication is to flush off these doshas, to take the control of residue fever and combat the symptoms related to the head. If these symptoms are not taken care of, the doshas and the incompletely cured fever would damage the brain and sense organs and would prove fatal.

The indications of nasal medication also indicate that this therapy shall not be done in the first phase of fever (taruna jwara, first 8 days of the fever) and should be done only in the jirna jwara, when the entire ama has been digested and when the symptoms pertaining to the head and sense organs have manifested.

This also means that the nasal medication shall not be done if these symptoms are not manifested.

Shiro / Murdha Virechana – Master Charaka clearly mentions that murdhavirechana i.e. head purging / cleansing should be done in these conditions. This means to tell that head purging type of nasal medication shall be administered to flush off the doshas from the head.

Read – Use Of Water In Fever, Rules, Method, Ayurveda Perspective

The below mentioned are said to be best for administering nasal medications in fevers –

Medicines and formulations mentioned in the Bheshajadhyaya chapter (Apamargatanduliya chapter) of Charaka Sutrasthana

Medicines and formulations mentioned in the Roga Bheshaja Adhyaya chapter of Charaka Vimanasthana

The physician should skillfully make a choice of the errhines which are good for fever from the mentioned lot and administer them accordingly.

The below indicated formulations too shall be skillfully used –
Anutaila / Navanika Taila mentioned in Matrashitiya chapter of Charaka Sutrasthana
Medicated smoking wicks mentioned in the same chapter

EasyHostingASP.NET | Best and cheap WordPress 4.7.5 hosting in Australia. WordPress 4.7.5 is now available. This is a security release for all previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites immediately.

WordPress versions 4.7.5 and earlier are affected by three security issues:

  • Insufficient redirection validation in the HTTP class.
  • Lack of compatibility checks for post meta data in the XML – RPC API.
  • Improper of handling of post data values in the XML – RPC API.
  • A cross-site request forgery (CRSF) vulnerability was discovered in the file system credentials dialog.
  • A cross – site scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered when attempting to upload very large files.
  • A cross – site scripting vulnerability was discovered related to the customizer.

Choosing the best and cheap WordPress 4.7.5 hosting service for your site isn’t always as easy as it should be – and if you’re not sure where to start it can seem a pretty daunting task. It doesn’t have to be. In this short guide, we’ll detail the four main types of hosting available, recommend a few of the best and cheap WordPress hosting providers in the industry and finish up by putting you on the path to learning the ins-and-outs of using WordPress!

I’ve already bought a domain name from a particular hosting company. Do I need to buy my hosting from the same company?

Answer: The domain name is basically just a web address that can be easily directed to any web hosting service. When you buy a domain name, it’s by default almost always directed to point to hosting services offered by the company that sold it to you. However, redirecting it to another company’s hosting services is both common practice and something that’s relatively straightforward to do. Since each company does things a little differently, ask the company that sold you the domain for specific instructions.

Finding a trustworthy hosting company

For newcomers, part of the problem with finding great WordPress hosting is knowing who to trust. There are so many companies out there trying to make a quick buck from would-be WordPress users who can’t yet tell an honest, reliable web-hosting provider from a cowboy hosting company. Luckily, we know from personal experience – backed up by the general WordPress community consensus – exactly which web hosts to trust. Every one of the web hosts mentioned in this guide operates exactly the way any good web host should: with the utmost integrity and your best interests at heart!

If you’re looking for the best WordPress 4.7.5 web hosting provider for your WordPress-driven enterprise, choosing one of the providers listed in this guide will both set you off on the right foot and give you the freedom to customize your services at a later date (for example, upgrading servers specs etc as your business grows/expands) with relative ease. We’re not at all keen on web hosting companies that try to lock you into particular services with technical tricks! It will also connect you with the services of some of the very best, most-trustworthy WordPress-web-hosting hands in the industry.

How much does WordPress hosting cost?

Answer: Web hosting costs vary dramatically – from as little as just a few dollars a month (some web hosts will even offer you free hosting – usually under the proviso that they can display various different adverts on your website) to literally thousands of dollars a month (think websites with millions of visitors a day)! However, most privately-owned websites will usually be able to get by with a web hosting package costing somewhere in the region of about $5-10 a month – although, generally speaking, with web hosting you tend to get what you pay for. Depending on the importance of your website to the day-to-day running of your online business, it may well prove shrewd to pay a little more than the bare minimum and choose a web hosting company that cares about the reliability and performance of your website as much as you do!

What a Gigabit?

R. Kayne

A gigabit is a unit of measurement used in computers, equal to one billion bits of data. A bit is the smallest unit of data. It takes eight bits to form or store a single character of text. These 8-bit units are known as bytes. Hence, the difference between a gigabit and a gigabyte is that the latter is 8x greater, or eight billion bits.

USB 3.0 can transfer data at 5 gigabits per second (Gbit/s).
USB 3.0 can transfer data at 5 gigabits per second (Gbit/s).

Storage capacity is normally indicated in bytes rather than bits. You’ll probably not hear someone describe a 200-gigabyte drive as being 1,600 gigabits. Instead, bits are typically used to describe data transfer rates (DTRs), or how fast bits of information can move between devices, such as modems, Firewire, or Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports.

A gigabyte can hold the information equivalent of about 1,000 thick books.
A gigabyte can hold the information equivalent of about 1,000 thick books.

Two types of numerical systems used with computers are the decimal system and the binary system. The decimal system counts the kilo as 1000, while the binary system counts the kilo as 1024. This is because it takes an extra 24 bits of data to store 1000 bits of information on a hard drive or standard storage device. For simplicity, and when referring to data transfer speeds, the more typical designation is the decimal system as follows:

  • 1000 bits = 1 kilobit
  • 1000 kilobits = 1 megabit
  • 1000 megabits = 1 gigabit

  • 1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte
  • 1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
  • 1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte

As an aside, the binary system that uses 1024 bits instead also uses different terminology. The kilobit becomes the kibibit; the megabit, the mebabit; and the gigabit, the gibibit.

Getting back to our more familiar decimal designations, abbreviations can often cause confusion. For example, an Internet provider might advertise speeds of 1500 kbps, while a potential customer might assume the abbreviation refers to kilobytes. Typically, measurements in bytes are used with a capital letter, such as “kBps,” or “KBps.” If all of the abbreviated letters are small case, the reference should be to bits. However, kilobit, megabit and gigabit might also be abbreviated as Kbit, Mbit and Gbit.

The gigabit is not often used in data transmission rates, as most devices push information at slower kilobyte and megabyte speeds. A notable exception is fiber optic cable. In a Verizon press release dated 19 November 2007, the company announced successfully transmitting a video broadcast along fiber optic cable at a whopping 100 gigabits per second (gbps). For comparison, the fastest Ethernet networks have a maximum throughput of 100 megabits per second (mbps). As of winter 2007, Verizon is installing fiber optic service (FiOS) across the U.S. to provide television, digital phone and Internet services.

As technology advances and data transmission rates increase, the average computer user will no doubt become familiar with the gigabit. Until then, most of us will remain locked into slower kilobyte and megabyte speeds, looking forward to jumping that next hurdle.

I've only seen "terabyte" with one "r", "tera-" meaning 1 trillion (American numbering system).

Yes. 1,000 Gigabytes = 1 Terrabyte (decimal system)

or 1,024 Gigabytes = 1 Terrabyte (binary system)

i think 1000 gigabytes(gb)= 1 terrabyte(tb)

Greek FinMin welcomes completion of 9th enhanced surveillance report

The European Commission acknowledges the direct and correct intervention by the Greek government, from the beginning of the pandemic, to deal with the challenges, and welcomes the promotion of reforms and the implementation of structural changes despite adverse conditions, Greek Finance Minister Christos Staikouras said on Wednesday, commenting on the release of the 9th enhanced surveillance report on Greece.

In a statement, Staikouras said the report “ confirmed the efficiency of support measures for households and enterprises” worth 23.6 billion euros in 2020, of which 15.3 billion were fiscal interventions, to be followed by support measures worth 11.6 billion euros in 2021 exceeding an initial budget estimate of 7.5 billion euros.

The FinMin noted it was the 6th consecutive positive assessment report by the institutions during the New Democracy governance and the fourth successfully completed amid the turbulence created on global scale by the coronavirus pandemic. “ This is the fruit of hard and systematic work and the excellent cooperation of government members under the guidance of the Prime Minister,” Staikouras said.

He stressed that support measures were moving towards the right direction as shown by unemployment data and boosting liquidity for enteprirses. Also, the report welcomes the promotion of reforms and the implementation of structural changes despite the prevailing adverse conditions, in sectors such as privatizations, education, energy policy, civil administration and the accounting framework of the general government, including public investments.

It also welcomes progress made in the “ Hercules” programme to reduce non-performing loans and government plans for its expansion. It confirms progress made in submitting a National Plan for the exploitation of funds from the Recovery Fund through implementing reforms and investments that will give a significant boost to the country’s growth. The report has not taken into account the positive impact of these funds. Staikouras added that the report noted the preservation of cash reserves to safe levels, a result of a prudent and inisightful use of funds and the historic-low borrowing costs of the Greek state. The European Commission report also praised the government’s intention to repay in advance part of the remaining loan received from the International Monetary Fund.

“ As Finance minister, I am particularly satisfied that our effort is acknowledged by European institutions. In any case, the government is fully conscious of the difficulties, uncertainty and challenges lying ahead. With hard work, faith in our powers, adherence to our reform plans and supporting households and enterprises, we lay the foundations to overcome the current ordeal and to achieve, high, sustainable, smart and growth without social exclusions,” Staikouras said.
