FreeBSD – Sendmail – Static relay

This is something I’m gonna forget, and as I use this blog as my personal notebook, I need to document this.

I’ve had strange issues not being able to send mail from my web server, to a specific domain. Been troubleshooting with the hosting company, and they have tried to whitelist me, but without any luck. They do however have another smtp server witch does not include the same spam filter. But how can I redirect traffic there, without changing public DNS?

Force sendmail to static relay to host for a spesfict domain.

root@xxx:/etc/mail # cat mailertable
# $FreeBSD: releng/10.1/etc/mail/mailertable.sample 58193 2000-03-18 06:38:23Z rwatson $
# List of domains (possibly wildcarded) and destination mailers

After modifying the file, run a “make” withing the /etc/mail directory.

root@xxx:/etc/mail # make
/usr/sbin/makemap hash mailertable.db < mailertable chmod 0640 mailertable.db

Perfect, looking at /var/log/maillog I can now see that the email is forward directly to my static relay server.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — An exhausted Alonzo Juan Jose sat still on a cot inside a shelter in southern New Mexico. For six days, the 24-year-old migrant from Huehuetenango, Guatemala, says he and his 5-month-old daughter, Allison Yajaira Juan Miguel, slept on a concrete floor while in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention.

Now they were moments away from a good night’s rest following a nearly monthlong journey through Mexico, to an El Paso Port of Entry, to the refuge of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Cathedral in Las Cruces.

“I just want her to sleep,” Juan Jose said in Spanish as he rocked his daughter.

More migrants like the father and daughter duo are coming. Shelters run by volunteers in the U.S. say they are getting hit with an expected surge of new migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. who need temporary housing. Nonprofit groups and churches — especially along the U.S.-Mexico border — are racing to get donated clothes, diapers, cots and meals for Central American migrants as the holidays approach and resources begin to dwindle.

The move comes as Trump administration in recent weeks has been releasing detained immigrants from Central America at a quicker pace than previously, putting a strain on shelters from San Diego to South Texas.

Shelters say ICE is no longer helping migrants with travel plans and is now releasing them from custody whether the migrants have places to stay or not.

In some case, volunteers are picking up migrants from train and bus stations after getting dropped off by immigration officials. Other times, shelters are getting surprised by busloads of migrants at their front doors.

A temporary shelter in San Diego has housed more than 1,500 asylum seekers since opening in October for people who are released by immigration authorities pending the outcome of their cases in immigration court, Kate Clark, an immigration attorney at Jewish Family Service of San Diego, said last week.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement began releasing more people before they could arrange travel to family and friends in other parts of the country, she said.

One day last week, ICE released nearly 100 people, bringing the number of migrants staying at the shelter to 178.

“We are responding to this crisis in real time,” California Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom said alongside Clark at a news conference.

Church leaders in the Phoenix say ICE has released about 5,000 migrants in the last two months to local churches. They say they have had to scramble to find diapers, clothing and food at the last minute. Most of the migrants dropped off at churches or shelters leave within a day or two.

ICE spokeswoman Leticia Zamarripa in El Paso said the agency doesn’t have family detention centers in the city. She did not respond to questions from The Associated Press.

Previously, ICE officials have said the agency lacks the resources to house the growing number of migrant families crossing into ports of entries in California, Arizona and Texas, and they have begun releasing them to nonprofit shelters and churches in the area.

Sylvia Corona, one of the volunteer coordinator at Immaculate Heart of Mary, said the network of shelters in southern New Mexico and West Texas believes the demand will continue to grow in the coming weeks.

“I think we’re going to see hundreds of families needing places to stay,” Corona said. “We’re opening up two more shelters soon. We’re letting them stay in our own homes if we have to, but we’ll find something.”

In the meantime, Immaculate Heart of Mary and others have set up registries to facilitate donations like baby clothes, paper plates and coats. Annunciation House, an immigrant shelter in El Paso, Texas, is asking for packets of underwear and socks.

The shelters house the migrants until they are able to make other travel arrangements.

The call for donations has hit communities far from the border and has used the migrant caravan to highlight the growing need, although not all migrants are connected to the caravan that has garnered international attention.

Last week, for example, the Berkeley City Council in Berkeley, California, voted to donate money to provide food, shelter and basic needs to caravan members detained at U.S. ports of entry or traveling to immigration hearings.

During a recent evening at Immaculate Heart of Mary, Cirila Alejandra Calelpu, 20, of Huehuetenango, Guatemala, selected donated clothes for her and her daughter Lucia Tojen Calel, 3. The pair had just been released from a ICE detention center following a monthlong journey north. Like Juan Jose, she was fleeing gang violence.

“I’m going to Florida tomorrow to be with my sister,” Calelpu said while fighting off a cold. Children around her played with donated toys while other mothers combed through piles of free clothes.

Juan Jose was headed to Birmingham, Alabama, to join his brother. “At least tonight, I get to take a shower,” Juan Jose said before closing his eyes.

His 5-month-old daughter then fell asleep in his arms as the pair lied on a cot. She began to snore. “Well,” he said. “Maybe I won’t.”

Excuse me for nit picking, but we aren't doing ALL that bad at UCLA. Of
the 50 some faculty members who applied for one in the English Dept.,
all but 2 received the computer of their choice. We have a ways to go,
but we are getting there. As to supporting computing in the humanities,
my staff consists of people with training and experience in both
computing and humanities and who have chosen to do so, not necessarily
as a second choice.

Perhaps it will take a lot of time, decades, and lots of
institutionalization of work categories, and the rest; but in Los
Angeles, auto mechanics are getting a minimum of 45-50$/hour. Beats
lots of humanist Ph.D. work. Or supporter work too. Librarians have
long complained about the poor treatment they get from the readers of
books, the professors. Etc. Kessler again. But I can say that some of
the supporters at UCLA are rather snooty towards the fairly ignorant
profs in my department, acting sometimes as if they are keepers of very
arcane secrets.

Subject: rude mechanicals

When I had a farm and had surplus firewood, I used to sell truckloads
occasionally to fancy folks in town. They wanted to treat me as an
ignorant yokel, but my air, and my L.L.Bean parka, were uppity, so they
did not know what to make of me and were very uncomfortable, especially
when they gave me money. In the early seventies a student of mine made
the strategic mistake of wearing a hat with a brim (the kind of hats
that often say CAT or Landmark in this part of Ohio) when he came out of
a university building on a snowy day. A professor going in took one
look at him and said "Why can't you people do something about the snow
on the stairs?" It must be something in human nature that always makes
us want to look down on somebody; thus the technicians, the carpenters,
the roofers, the butchers, the wood-splitters will always be looked down
upon, no matter how intelligent, sensitive, or even well-read they may
be. Only if you have been one of the rude mechanicals or technicians,
dish-washers or short-order cooks, can you understand what it is that
makes revolutions or makes the "little people" capable of hating the
"big people" quite so much. The same rule applies with teachers of
technical writing, botanists who teach how to grow food, or computer
technicians. Roy Flannagan

Humanists as Computer Support Professionals
Willard McCarty's recent posting turns a problem of market economics and
frustrated ambition into a theological and moral problem of the
sufferings of the Humanist as Job in a Satanic influenced Academia.

For the humanist as the computer support person who feels frustrated for
not having her work not considered of equal value with the publishing
academic, the best advice is to seek employment extra-academically.
There is a well-paying market for humanists with technical knowledge and
competence; though a free-market subject to two-weeks notice, at best.

However, David A. Bantz brings a bit of commonsense and reality into this
discussion in his suggestion that academia ensure that humanists as
computer support be treated as professionals. Professionals require
complete support in their tasks in terms of reimbursement for attendance
at conferences, and professional development courses.

I return to Willard's practical suggestion to ease the burden placed on
humanists as computer support persons:

Computer support persons should receive tenure for their efforts
regardless of lack of publications. Why tenure? What is so magic about
tenure? In the case of publishing academics, the argument,
traditionally is that the purpose of tenure is to ensure academic
freedom. How does that argument apply to non-academically functioning
humanists as computer support personnel?

Willard's argument seems to be that without the support of computer
professionals, the ethereal research work of traditional academics would
have no material realization; and, further, this material support is
somehow instrumental to creating new ideas. So, therefore without
computer support, the ideal world of ideas would float away. The
computer support people should, therefore, receive tenure.

Apart from the practical problems of determining how a noble tenure
committee could evaluate the contributions of individual computer support
people, Willard's argument also applies to non-humanists with junior
college degrees. Indeed, the janitorial and maintenance staff more so
deserve tenure. I don't know how many academics would fail to produce a
publishable work without their morning coffee served up by the
indefatigable cafeteria worker. He too should be eligible for tenure.

Willard's argument is the best reductio ad absurdum for the abolition of
tenure that I have seen, despite the fact that he did not intend it so.
Every staff member in the university, in one way or another, could be
instrumental to scholarly production, and so should be eligible for

This point introduced by Willard is a sub-set of the general question of
how humanists in the extra-academic world can be recognized as fully
fledged and contributing members to scholarship. The Ph.D. who happens
to drive taxis or work for IBM as a programmer has hardly any access to
the delights of academic privilege, such as free and open access to
university libraries, and computer networks. Some of these people even
publish once in awhile, and attempt to participate in conferences at
their own expense and on their own time. But they are treated as
outsiders because whevenever they happen to get some space at
conferences or in journals, their obtainment of this scarce resourse
reduces the opportunities of a young academic who might have used the
same quantity of space for tenure credits. Remember the Ph.D. taxi
drive won't gain tenure for publishing or presenting papers.

In this broader context, of extra-academically employed Ph.D.'s who
strive to maintain links to academia, the institution of tenure has
become an institution of sinecure. Moreover, the narrow problem of how
to invite humanist computer support personnel into the ranks of academia
as deserving of equal treatment with publishing professors, becomes
broadened to the problem of how to open the doors, including the
electronic ones, to humanists earning their living outside academia.

However, let us not turn an economic or market problem where worthy
ambitions are frustrated by the monopolistic access to scarce resources
by tenured and unionized professors, into a quasi-theological thesis
about Job-like computer support personnel suffering because of their
lack of recognition. Regardless of one's occupation in life, one often
finds oneself in situations where one is treated unfairly due to many
factors, the most cruel of which happens to be the blind workings of
market economics. Rather than shed tears and grumble about one's
plight, one might find it more useful to squeeze through the narrow
cracks in the walls of academia, and gain whatever access one can gain to
university resources. Though, admittedly, editorial and conference
boards could be more generous than they are to those whose mailing
address happens to be a private one rather than an institutional one.

Diabetes & Depression Create Adverse Synergy

There’s a clear increase in risk to your health and to your life when you have a combination of diabetes and depression

DIABETES and depression are conditions that can fuel each other. Symptoms of clinical depression include anxiety, feelings of hopelessness or guilt, sleeping or eating too much or too little, and loss of interest in life, people and activities. So, there’s a clear increase in risk to your health and to your life when you have a combination of diabetes and depression.

While diabetes can be a challenge to control, depression can be difficult to treat and keep in remission. Growing evidence suggests the combination can be especially problematic for patients. And as if this adverse synergy were not bad enough, having these two conditions more than doubles the likelihood that a patient will develop dementia.

What this means is that depression can affect blood sugar levels and insulin metabolism through increased cortisol, contributing to unhealthy eating habits, weight gain and diabetes. On the other hand, management of diabetes can cause chronic stress and strain, which in the long run, may increase risk of depression. The two are linked not only behaviorally, but biologically, says Dr. Frank B. Hu, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

However, doctors are unsure whether one condition causes the other or if a single underlying factor is responsible for both ailments. If a substantial causal connection is established between the two disorders, it would be rather novel and could potentially change how doctors understand and treat both disorders.

New research findings from the University of California at San Diego further reinforce the view that since depression and diabetes often co-occur, psychiatrists should be aware that depressed patients may be at risk of the metabolic disorder. The findings of the study were presented at the American Psychiatric Association’s 164th annual meeting in Honolulu last week.

In the San Diego study, reported the Los Angeles Times, researchers who reviewed the medical records of a group of 129 Hispanic diabetics discovered that diabetes was diagnosed first in 54 percent of men with both conditions, while depression was the initial diagnosis of 24 percent of men. Of women with both conditions, 59 percent were first discovered to have diabetes, while 29 percent were first diagnosed with depression.

While doctors are typically aware that someone with diabetes is at higher risk for depression, they may not look for mood disorders as a risk factor for developing diabetes, especially anxiety, the authors noted. Among men with diabetes and anxiety, 54% developed diabetes first and 45% developed anxiety first. Among women, 55% developed diabetes first and 39% developed anxiety first.

Latinos are known to have higher rates of type 2 diabetes than the general US population. Additionally, co-occurring mood disorders are common among these individuals. This made this group of patients an ideal population for studying the relationship between mood disorders and type 2 diabetes.

The San Diego researchers said it is unclear why there is this association between the two conditions, but said that their findings show that there is a strong need to monitor individuals with type 2 diabetes for future mental health issues as the metabolic condition appears to precede mood disorders.

Another research, conducted at Harvard University, found that study subjects who were depressed had a much higher risk of developing diabetes, and those with diabetes had a significantly higher risk of depression, compared to healthy study participants.

A study carried out by the German Diabetes Association (DDG) has also shown that depression can heighten the risk of developing type 2 diabetes as the mental illness also increases the likelihood of obesity and failing to take enough exercise.

The Chennai (India) Urban Rural Epidemiological Study involving around 23,000 participants found that depression can increase the risk of diabetes due to increased levels of counter-regulatory hormones, which can lead to obesity, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. “The lesson in this is that not only should we treat diabetics for depression, but that by treating depression, the person may actually be able to side-step diabetes,” said co-author Dr. V Mohan.

The American Diabetes Association advises that individuals with type 2 diabetes should consider seeking mental health help if they begin to feel three or more common symptoms of depression, which may include loss of pleasure, loss of appetite, sadness, trouble concentrating and suicidal thoughts.

The bottom line: Since diabetes and depression can influence each other and thus become a vicious cycle, primary prevention of diabetes is important for prevention of depression, and vice versa.

Diabetes Management: Telephonic CBT Counseling for Diabetics with Depression Can Improve Treatment Outcomes

A NEW investigative study by researchers at VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System and University of Michigan Health System shows that telephonic intervention can improve patients’ access to effective depression care, improve their cardiovascular health and get them moving again, reports Endocrine Web.

As is well known, depression is a common, treatable issue for many people who have diabetes but most busy clinics cannot provide the level of intensive care these patients need. In many cases this proves to be a major hurdle for diabetics in maintaining the strict medication regimen or exercise schedule.

Patients with diabetes and depression often have self-management needs that require between-visit support. The study evaluated the impact of telephone-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targeting patients’ management of depressive symptoms, physical activity levels, and diabetes-related outcomes.

3G Wireless Technology Delivers Diabetes Health Care In Innovative Project

The research team worked over a year to improve diabetes patients’ health by first addressing their depression. The program began with behavioral therapy sessions over the telephone with a specially trained nurse and later phased in a walking program. This was done because delivering therapy by telephone makes it feasible to reach large numbers of patients who may not attend traditional in-person appointments.

For the investigation, researchers divided a group of 291 participants with type 2 diabetes and significant depressive symptoms into two groups. One group received standard care, while the other segment was put through a year-long intervention program, which consisted of 12 weeks of cognitive behavioral therapy and nine months of supplemental phone checkups.

The findings ‒ published online ahead of print in Medical Care ‒ showed the intervention was successful in lowering patients’ blood pressure, increasing their physical activity by about four miles of walking per week and easing their depressive symptoms. At the end of the year, 58 percent of patients who received the intervention had depression symptoms that were in remission, compared to only 39 percent of the patients who did not receive counseling.

Even Telephonic Intervention Improves Diabetes Control

The cognitive behavior therapy helped the study participants address negative thought processes and behaviors that made it difficult for them to manage their diabetes and make healthy lifestyle choices.

The physical activity component of the program used pedometers to help patients set walking goals and monitor their progress. Earlier studies have shown that along with physical benefits, exercise also helps boost one’s mood.

Indeed, patients with depression and additional chronic medical conditions do better, as the study demonstrates, if their depression is addressed first, if it is addressed systematically, and if exercise is also encouraged.

Most patients entered the study with relatively good blood glucose control. So while the intervention did not lead to a drop in A1C ‒ a common measurement of blood glucose levels ‒ patients did see more than a 4-point improvement in their systolic blood pressure, walked about half a mile more per day and reported an improvement in their general quality of life.

“This study shows that telephone-delivered counseling can improve patients’ access to effective depression care, improve their cardiovascular health and get them moving again,” said lead author John Piette.

In view of this study, “health systems should consider routinely offering structured telephone psychotherapy to their patients with diabetes and depression,” concluded senior study author Marcia Valenstein.

(The research was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health, Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center and the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research.)

Don’t Take Diabetes Lightly ‒ It Can Even Lead To Suicide

There is a general attitude that diabetes is a treatable disease, that’s it’s no big deal, that you just take medicine and you have a normal life.

The truth is diabetics have a 2.5 increased rate of death, meaning people with diabetes are 80 percent more likely to die prematurely than those without the disease.

A new British analysis ‒ published in the March 3 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine ‒ confirms that diabetes is associated with higher mortality.

And it’s not just diabetes that’s killing them. Besides dying from vascular problems caused by diabetes, people with the blood sugar disease are also more likely to die prematurely from many other causes, including cancer, infections, falls, liver disease, mental disorders and even suicide.

Although all the reasons that result in the greater risk of death among diabetics aren’t known, high blood sugar and inflammation are key players. These can decrease the body’s ability to fight off infections and even cancer.

A team lead by John Danesh, a professor of epidemiology and medicine at the University of Cambridge in the UK analyzed deaths among 820,900 people who took part in 97 studies. Among those in these studies, 123,205 died.

The risk of premature death was closely associated with blood sugar levels, with an excess risk of death at blood glucose fasting levels exceeding 100 milligrams per deciliter. There was no excess risk of death at fasting levels of 70 to 100 mg per dL, the researchers found.

The risk of dying from vascular disease, not surprisingly, was much higher in people with diabetes. But people with diabetes were also at increased risk for death from liver and kidney disease, pneumonia, other infectious diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, among other ills.

Danesh’s team also found that people with diabetes were 25 percent more likely to die from cancer, with scientists finding a moderate association between the disease and death from liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, and lung, bladder or breast cancer. They were also 70 percent more likely to die from falls than people without diabetes.

In addition, diabetics were 64 percent more likely to die from mental disorders and 58 percent more likely to die from suicide, mostly because they were more likely to be depressed. Indeed, another study showed that management of diabetes can cause chronic stress and strain, which in the long run, may increase risk of depression – the two are linked not only behaviorally but biologically. (See my post ‘Diabetes, Depression Can be a Two-Way Street’ here.)

Broken down, the hazard ratios for people with diabetes vs. people without diabetes were:

  • 2.32 for death from vascular causes
  • 1.80 for death from any cause
  • 1.73 for death from other causes
  • 1.25 for death from cancer

Summing up, the study authors write: “These findings highlight the need to better understand and prevent the multi-system consequences of diabetes.”

The challenge before researchers therefore is to continue to find a cure and to prevent diabetes ‒ it cannot just be managed with drugs.

Diabetes May Be Caused By Depression

While it is common knowledge that having a chronic disease increases chances of depression in patients, here is evidence that indicates depression could also be a factor in causing chronic diseases such as diabetes.

A paper published in Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics, 2010, from Chennai showed higher levels of depression among those newly detected with diabetes and those with impaired glucose tolerance, as against those who had normal blood sugar levels.

Authored by S. Poongothai of Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, based in Chennai in south India, as part of a series of articles she worked on for her Ph.D, the paper is significant in that the tests were done in the community and the depression noted before blood sugar tests were done.

Co-author V. Mohan, who heads Dr. Mohan’s Diabetes Specialities Centre, says, “What this article flags off is the idea that depression itself may be a likely cause of diabetes.”

The subjects for the study were recruited from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiological Study. Of the total of over 23,000 persons tested, there were 1218 people with newly- detected Diabetes (NDD), 7,657 with impaired fasting glucose (IFG); and 14, 912 with normal fasting glucose (NFG).

While the overall prevalence of depression was 14.3 per cent, an increasing prevalence was seen with increasing grades of glucose tolerance: NFG (13.1 per cent), IFG (15.7 per cent) and NDD (19.7 per cent), being higher among women at all grades.

Depression can increase the risk of diabetes due to increased levels of counter-regulatory hormones, which can lead to obesity, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance, Dr. Poonothai says in the paper. “The lesson in this is that not only should we treat diabetics for depression, but that by treating depression, the person may actually be able to side-step diabetes,” Dr. Mohan explains.

His recommendation is also that everyone with depression must be screened for diabetes as well.

Depression Sufferers Live With Higher Risk of Diabetes

Depression can heighten the risk of developing type 2 diabetes as the mental illness also increases the likelihood of obesity and failing to take enough exercise, a study carried out by the German Diabetes Association (DDG) has shown, reports DPA.

Bouts of depression can also lead to higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the blood. Cortisol, also known as hydrocortisone, counteracts insulin and contributes to type 2 diabetes, which is characterized by high blood glucose in the context of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency.

It is recommended that those suffering from depression undergo tests for the disease as they are 11 times more likely to suffer vascular complications than people battling diabetes alone. The risk of damage to arteries, which could lead to a heart attack, is between two and five times as high.

According to the DDG, not only are people with depression at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, those with diabetes are also at increased risk of developing depression.

The consequences can be serious as treatment for diabetes requires the active involvement of the patient. “Depression is a major barrier in such instances,” explains Bernhard Kulzer, chairman of the DDG’s psychology council.

Complications that can result from improperly managed type 2 diabetes include renal failure, blindness and arterial disease, including coronary artery disease. The DDG recommends that diabetics suffering from depression undergo psychological treatment.

Preventing Diabetes And Literacy Key To Beat Dementia

According to a BBC report, preventing diabetes and depression could have a dramatic impact on cutting cases of dementia, a study suggests. Boosting levels of education and upping fruit and vegetable consumption would also have a big effect, the British Medical Journal said. It comes as another study showed dementia patients are missing out on vital early treatments because GPs are being slow to diagnose them.

Several risk factors for the disease have been identified, including obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. But British and French researchers wanted to assess what public health interventions could have the biggest impact on reducing the burden of dementia in the population.

They took a group of 1,400 elderly people and tested them for signs of dementia after two, four and seven years. Alongside this they recorded height, weight, education level, monthly income, mobility, dietary habits, alcohol consumption, and tobacco use and asked participants to do a reading test as a measure of intelligence.

Eliminating depression and diabetes and increasing fruit and vegetable consumption were estimated to lead to an overall 21% reduction in new cases of dementia. Increasing education would also lead to an estimated 18% reduction in new cases of dementia across the general population over the next seven years, they reported. By contrast, removing a gene linked with the disease would only cut new cases by 7%.

The team concluded that early screening for diabetes and treatment of depression would be the most useful approach for trying to reduce the future burden of dementia. And they added that encouraging literacy at all ages and trying to increase population intake of fruit and vegetables would also have an important effect but admitted that these aims were harder to achieve. Further studies including younger adults are needed to test the impact of such approaches, they added.

In the second study also in the BMJ, analysis of health records of over 135,000 people in the UK found that people with dementia were three times more likely to die in the first year after diagnosis than those without the condition.

That suggests that diagnoses are being made in the later stages of the disease.
Study leader Dr Greta Rait from the Medical Research Council said: “GPs are going to be dealing with more and more dementia cases in future and primary care must get better at detection.”

Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer’s Research Trust, said the links between depression, diabetes and dementia were well known. “Any policy that urges clear diagnosis and monitoring of these conditions could help make an impact on dementia.

“What is painfully evident from the study is the gaping hole that remains in our understanding and ability to diagnose or treat dementia effectively, a hole that can only be filled by more research.”

Professor Clive Ballard, director of research at the Alzheimer’s Society said a healthy lifestyle is key. “Effective prevention of diabetes, depression and heart disease could potentially improve the lives of millions of people affected by this cruel condition and reduce the billions spent on dementia care each year.”

Dr Victoria King, head of research at Diabetes UK, said there is a growing body of evidence suggesting links between diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. “Finding ways to stop the type 2 diabetes epidemic in its tracks can only be seen as a good thing – especially as this could prevent millions of people developing the serious complications of the condition, which include heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness and amputation.”

State Of Mind And Healing Linked In Diabetes Foot Ulcer Study

Scientists have found that healing of diabetes related foot ulcers differs depending on psychological state of mind. Researchers found a link between how patients with diabetes cope with potentially life threatening foot ulcers and rates of healing.

The results of the study showed that anger, frustration and depression over potentially life threatening wounds associated with microvascular diabetes complications slows the rate of healing.

Professor Kavita Vedhara from the University of Nottingham says, “My colleagues and I believe that this confrontational approach may, inadvertently, be unhelpful in this context because these ulcers take a long time to heal. As a result, individuals with confrontational coping may experience distress and frustration because their attempts to take control do not result in rapid improvements.” Depression was also linked to poor wound healing of diabetes related foot ulcers.

Patients with diabetics ulcers of the feet that can lead to amputation were monitored over a 24-week period. Researchers analysed psychological distress, coping style and levels of cortisol in saliva ( a stress hormone) among 93 men and women recruited form specialist podiatry clinics across the UK.

The results revealed a link between the way diabetics cope with foot ulcers and the way they heal. In a secondary analysis the scientists also found that depression also resulted in slower healing of foot ulcers.

The study suggests depression anger and frustration with diabetes related foot ulcers can delay wound healing. Diabetics with a desire to take control or who used a “confrontational” approach to managing foot ulcers were less likely to have healed at the end of the 24 weeks of monitoring, as were those with depression.

The findings are significant. Diabetic foot ulcers develop in up to 15 percent of patients with diabetes and can lead to early mortality. Treating depression and anxiety could have a significant impact on quality of life for patients with diabetes related foot ulcers, found in the study to heal at different rates, depending on how patients cope with the condition. Psychological state of mind was found to be a factor affecting healing of diabetes-related foot ulcers.

Support for stenciljs?

Are there any plans to support stenciljs?

I don’t use stenciljs, but assuming that it just uses the typescript compiler then we have support for Typescript. You might need some specific configuration in the tsconfig. If that is the case your can fork* it from this scope and change the config.

If no special configuration needed you can import the compiler directly as described in this doc and use it from there.

In case stenciljs requires special compilation phase on top of Typescript. It might require additional work to create a specific extension for it. This may be hard and requires some more discussion.

  • Fork means that you can import the component make changes and then export it to your own scope. Then (since this is a compiler) you will need to reimport the exported component as a compiler.

Being Productive While Feeling Like Death

For some odd reason I’m always getting sick…I don’t know how, I don’t know why, I kinda just go with it. Woke up this morning around 7 (thanks to my lovely puppy barking at me) barley able to breathe out my nose, coughing up a storm, and honestly felt like death. After I slugged down the steps to my living room and plopped down on the couch, I took a lovely 4 1/2 hour nap. I did not want to do anything today besides rest, but I guess my mind had other plans for me. I find that being sick can actually be beneficial to you if you really let yourself be productive. Since there was nothing to watch on TV, and had already finished all my shows I recorded the night before, I put on Deadpool and did a few productive things. Side note: if you don’t know me personally, you need to know that I’m obsessed with Deadpool. Okay, now back to my day. While I had my movie on in the background I sat back and thought, “when am I ever going to have this much time to get things done…never’. Made myself a lovely lunch (hot dog and fries) and started my math homework-all due tomorrow plus a test, cleaned up my room, cleared out some unwanted contacts in my phone, and still had free time left.

Honestly, if you’re like me and a college student who works on days that you don’t have school and you get sick, use that day off to your advantage. Get the tasks that you keep putting off last minute done. Although the constant need to clear my nose was the most annoying thing I’ve had to deal with today, I got to learn a helpful lesson. Next time I get sick, maybe it’s because I have a lot of catching up to do in my life that should have been a priority before getting sick.

Fun with Functions

Hello Please guys tell me what's wrong in this code

** :confused:

function Person(job, married) {
this.job = job;
this.married = married;
// add a "speak" method to Person!
var speak = new Person();

var user = new Person("Codecademy Student",false);

Add a speak method to the Person constructor. Whenever speak is called, it should print "Hello!" to the console.

// add a "speak" method to Person!

how to add a method:

this.someMethod = function() {

so you should do

What's stopping you from finding out?
Have you tested your code? Does it behave as described? Identify the problem.

thanks now it works :slight_smile:

Access by Offset

It says to log in the third element of the array and I think that it is javascript but when it shows this, it says to log on the third element.

var languages = ["HTML", "CSS", "JavaScript", "Python", "Ruby"];

if you need to log something to the console, i would use the appropriate function (console.log())

thanks for helping me

Trying to complete 5/7 breaks Codecademy

I've looked through every help thread on here to see what I could be doing wrong. Here is my code:
var myName='William';
var hits=[];
for(var i=0;i<text.length;i++){
for(var j=i;j<myName.length+i;i++){

When I run this, my browser tab freezes and I have to close/reopen it. I am using Chrome. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey this may be a bit late but what this also happened to me and what managed to fix it was to replace the "i++" with "j++". It may help stop your browser from crashing.

for(var j=i;j<myName.length+i;i++){
/*switch the "i++" to "j++"*/
for(var j=i;j<myName.length+i;j++){

What's the use of i++ in the second for statement if it states that j < myName.length + i?

Since there is no reason that i should stop in the for statement it is placed in, the i would just go on forever and ever and ever... crashing the browser.

Hope it helped!:smiley:

P.S. What @javarunner33393 said is the correct code to stop it from crashing.

    Lisa from VA Asked

    Can I activate my four day military passes at the water parks or Downtown Disney? Only the four main theme parks are listed on the ticket vouchers I purchased on my local base.

    Hi Lisa!

    You can most certainly activate your vouchers at Guest Relations at Downtown Disney or the water parks. We always visit Downtown Disney on our first night of vacation to eat, shop, and take care of our tickets. This way, we're ready to hit the parks first thing in the morning. Be sure to have your military ID with you when you activate the tickets.

    Enjoy your magical vacation, Lisa. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Have a magical day,

    Amy from RI Asked

    We are planning a trip for 4/15/16-4/23/16 and would like to split our stay. Should we start out at the BCV for 3 nights and then check in to GFV or BLT OR start out at the GFV or BLT and the finish our stay at BCV? Star Wars marathon make it crowed at BCV

    Hi Amy! Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel.  The "Force" will definitely be strong at Walt Disney World Resort next April as the Inaugural Star Wars Half Marathon – The Dark Side kicks off.

    If I had to choose, I'd probably go with Disney's Beach Club Villas first. With the excitement of arriving you can take part in some the galactic fun. After a few days of interstellar excitement you'll be ready for some R&R at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa or Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort. Both are beautifully elegant and conveniently on the monorail so you can't go wrong with either choice

    Wishing you a magical and memorable vacation!

    Sara from WI Asked

    We will be traveling in 2017. I know it's a ways off but we are traveling with 8 adults and 2 kids. We will be celebrating my sisters 3rd and 30th birthday. I want us to stay at least at the same resort. Maybe even a villa. Where would I start?

    Hi Sara! Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It's never too early to start the excitement of planning or a magical stay at Walt Disney World Resort! And because time flies when you're having fun, 2017 will be here before you know it.

    Celebrating a 3rd and 30th birthday...that's quite an age difference but you'll be able to make each sister feel like a special princess at Walt Disney World Resort.

    With a travel party of 10, you're planning to go big for your upcoming trip...which is no problem at all when you stay at Disney Vacation Club resort. You've got a number of available choices depending on the vacation experience you’d like to have.

    For a one of a kind vacation experience that keeps everyone together you’ll need a three-bedroom villa at one of the deluxe Disney Vacation Club resorts. Close to Magic Kingdom Park I suggest Bay Lake Tower at Disney's Contemporary Resort or The Villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa both will accommodate up to 12 guests and includes a full kitchen and washer/dryer. You'll have memories from this experience that will no doubt last a lifetime!

    The other option keeps everyone close but with some privacy in a separate 2-bedroom villa and a 1-bedroom villa at any of the Disney Vacation Club resorts. In total you’ll be able to accommodate up to 14 guests. Some of my favorites are Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village, Wilderness Lodge Villas and Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.

    You can book a room only reservation 499 days out, but you can only do so by contacting a Disney Cast Member (407) 939-1936

    Sending pixie dust your way as you plan your magical and memorable Disney Vacation!

    Rbyn Asked

    Hello, We will be WDW March 2-9, How difficult is the traveling between resorts? and how is the crowds and weather?

    Welcome back to the Moms Panel Robyn!  The beginning of March is a wonderful time to visit Walt Disney World, from my experience.  While there are a few schools that break that early, most have not, so you should find the crowd levels to be quite manageable.  The weather is usually very nice - in the high 70's or low 80's during the day.  I would suggest checking a reliable website, like, just prior to your visit so you will have a better idea of expected weather conditions for your trip.

    To travel between resorts you will need to catch a bus from your resort to Downtown Disney or one of the theme parks and transfer to the bus for the resort you wish to travel to.  This could take up to one hour, depending on frequency of buses and resort location.

    Thanks for asking your question at the Disney Parks Moms Panel.  I hope you have a sunny, fun-filled vacation at Walt Disney World!

    Will be at WDW 4/16-4/23 trying to get dinner resv at Be Our Guest for any day during our stay and was unable to do so, would like a table for 3 people to all 7 of us. Do they take reservations same day at the restaraunt or have standby waiting.

    Hello, Jay,

    I am in the exact same situation as you are; everyday I check for availability at Be Our Guest for dinner and haven't seen the slightest hint of an opening.  As a back-up plan, we are planning to eat lunch there since reservations aren't necessary.  If you do the same, don't be intimidated by a long line; it moves quickly.

    As for dinner, I am planning stop by the restaurant when it opens at 4:30 pm and check (maybe beg a little!) to see if there would be availability.  The cast members will be able to let you know how the evening looks and if there is any chance of being able to dine there for dinner.

Resolution Con Job Withdrawn!!! The San Diego Unified Board of Education/Supt. Marten Bullies Lose Their Nerve – Cancel Invitation Insult to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos !!!

, , , , , , ,

Apparently the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) Board of Education and Superintendent bullies lost their nerve, like most bullies do, when faced with the consequences of insulting and challenging a stronger foe.

A resolution simultaneously insulting, inviting and lying to Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has been withdrawn from tomorrow’s Board meeting agenda .

Historically, official Proclamations and Resolutions mean nothing to the current SDUSD Board of Education and Superintendent…but they DO have value in their multiple Con Jobs to distract and misinform SDUSD Stakeholders – Parents, Teachers, Students, Staff, Communities, Taxpayers and the Federal and State governments.

SDUSD Board Trustees Barrera, Beiser, McQuary, Evans and Payne along with Superintendent Cindy Marten LOVE the Proclamation/Resolution Con Job.

Barrera, Beiser, McQuary, Evans and Marten pulled the most outrageous Proclamation Con Job almost 1 ½ years ago with a Proclamation to honor disgraced former Trustee Marne Foster in the same meeting they were ordering an investigation into her corruption.

Barrera, Beiser, McQuary, Evans, Payne  and Marten taught new Trustee Payne the Resolution Con Job just 2 months ago to promote a phony public relations “Celebration of Light” event   “reaffirming values of peace, tolerance and respect” while allowing corporal punishment at a SDUSD Elementary school with a “Special Fright Inside Every Child”.

The newest SDUSD Resolution Con Job was even MORE ambitious…a Con Job on the new Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos…and apparently the Board and Marten were afraid to try and pull it off!

Here is the Resolution in item in item G1 on the agenda JUST WITHDRAWN for the Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Board of Education meeting tomorrow:

The G.1 Resolution is a typical jumble of insults and untruths by:

  • Insulting Secretary DeVos by refusing to even use her name in the Resolution
  • Insulting the Federal Administration by accusing their approach as bringing “into question the current administration’s commitment to public education”
  • Bragging about the fabricated SDUSD graduation rate which is just a Diploma Mill Scam.
  • Bragging about winning the runner-up Broad Prize for efforts implemented by former Supt. Bill Kowba that no longer exist under Marten and the current Board.

This “Resolution” document was obviously just another Barrera/Marten Con Job.

Marten and Barrera

Sending out an INSULTING invitation to Ms. DeVos which NEVER EVEN MENTIONED HER NAME, the politically motivated SDUSD Board of Education led by Union Leadership tool and Board President Richard Barrera and his inept “partner” Cindy Marten, expected that DeVos would decline the invitation through the threat of Board and Superintendent manipulated protests by anti-Trump Administration backers…but then realized it would just enrage the DeVos and the Trump administration…and chickened out.

Gutless bullies.

The purpose of this Resolution Con Job was that by INSULTING Secretary of Education DeVos, they REDUCED the risk of exposing the SDUSD Management dysfunction through an actual visit by DeVos while bowing to the SDEA leadership and INCREASING the impact value of their unethical public relations campaign featuring the phony support of immigrant students and their families.

And what better way to cover up the toxic SDUSD environment than to make it difficult to have Secretary DeVos actually witness the Marten Administration disaster in person!

Like most bullies, they lost their nerve at the last minute….they withdrew the Resolution on Sunday!

However they have not lost their taste for bullying the most vulnerable of SDUSD Stakeholders…ELL’s, Economically Disadvantaged Students/Families/Communities and the the less powerful non-SDEA District Employees.

The Board of Education and Superintendent Marten will need all the falsely acquired Positive Public relations support they can steal from selected local media flunkies when the neediest families and communities discover that the Board and Marten have CUT key English Language Learner (ELL) and economically disadvantaged Student supports due to their financial mismanagement that has resulted in a $124 MILLION dollar budget deficit!

The Solution!

District Deeds has a better way for Secretary of Education DeVos to “visit” the SDUSD Board and Marten using the same ruthless methods employed by the Board and Marten against Teachers, Administrators, Staff, and the families of sexually assaulted 5-year-old kindergartners …and AVOID protesters…here it is:

Have the Department of Education Auditors “visit” the books and interview (under oath) past and present employees of the San Diego Unified School District with a forensic audit:

  • Uncover and expose the ways that NCLB and ESSA federal funds have been unethically and improperly redirected away from the students the money was meant for.

  • Uncover and expose any and all the Marten administration Title IX sexual assault cover-ups

  • Uncover and expose any and all the FERPA violations complaints that teachers, administrators and staff were bullied and forced to drop by the Marten administration and Union leadership.

  • Uncover and expose all the REAL Graduation Rate numbers and fine the District for the errors

  • Uncover and expose all the past and present “Marne Foster Typr” Free and Reduced Lunch violations.

  • Uncover and Expose all the fake LCFF and LCAP initiatives and force the SDUSD to follow the rules or risk suspension of Federal Financial Support.

With the forensic audit and any luck, Secretary DeVos will solve two problems:

  1. Uncover and expose all the SDUSD corruption so ALL Stakeholders fully receive the educational funding, fairness and justice they deserve.
  2. Throw the SDUSD into financial default so the Board and Superintendent will have to be replaced.

We already know that Secretary DeVos and Superintendent Cindy Marten have a LOT in common…they are both BIG contributors to the growth of Charter Schools.

DeVos contributed by intentionally promoting Charter Schools in Michigan.

Marten contributed by being totally incompetent and unintentionally driving thousands of Students away from the SDUSD INTO Charter Schools in San Diego.

On second thought, maybe Promotion Hungry Marter should urge the Board to write a “Nice” Resolution and then send it to DeVos…with her resume!

    Thank you again District Deeds for your timely and well-researched post. Looks like the school district administration is afraid of the accountability that the new Education Secretary Betsy DeVos may be implementing. As a low income parent I have been silenced when standing up for my community and for all district students. I hope Ms. DeVos works hard to protect all K-12 and college students from corrupt administrations like the one at our district.

  2. “Political Ideology”?? The only one being promoted is Marten’s and The Board’s. Where’d these clowns come from? They want to “teach” DeVos how to run education? Are you kidding? They all need to stop running their personal agendas and represent ALL students interests. The narcissistic behavior of the District “leadership” is sickening. I was hopeful that Evans could be the voice of reason as a psychologist but no more…….

    Well done Frank. You’re so right about Cindy Martin’s incompetence causing not only a brain drain, but a drain of America’s future, the students, away from SDUSD and into charter schools.

Calpain-1 Contributes to Platelet Hyperactivity and Pain Sensitivity in a Humanized Mouse Model of Sickle Cell Disease.

Nwankwo, Jennifer.

Abstract: Sickle cell disease (SCD) was the first genetic disorder for which a molecular mechanism was identified. SCD is caused by a glutamic acid to valine substitution in the sixth codon of the beta-globin gene, resulting in sickle hemoglobin, which polymerizes under low oxygen conditions to form sickle red blood cells (sRBCs). Reduced deformability of sickle RBCs contributes to blood vessel oc... read more

Understand the default MySQL configuration

The grant tables define the initial MySQL user accounts and their access privileges. The default configuration consists of two user accounts:

  • root: This user has all privileges including remote access to the database.
  • repl: Has “Replication slave” privileges which enable replication slaves to read binary log events from the master.

Check our recommendations for a production server.

MySQL version

In order to see which MySQL version your system is running, execute the following command:

$ mysqld --version

MySQL configuration file

The MySQL configuration file is located at /opt/bitnami/mysql/conf/my.cnf.

The MySQL official documentation has more details about how to configure the MySQL database.

MySQL socket

On Unix, MySQL clients can connect to the server in the local machine using an Unix socket file at /opt/bitnami/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock.

MySQL port

The default port for MySQL is 3306.

MySQL Process Identification Number

The MySQL .pid file allows other programs to find out the PID (Process Identification Number) of a running script. Find it at /opt/bitnami/mysql/tmp/

MySQL error log

The error log file contains information indicating when MySQL was started and stopped and also any critical errors that occur while the server is running. If the MySQL server notices a table that needs to be automatically checked or repaired, it writes a message to the error log. Find it at /opt/bitnami/mysql/logs/mysqld.log.

Before running the commands shown on this page, you should load the Bitnami stack environment by executing the installdir/use_APPNAME script (Linux and Mac OS X) or by clicking the shortcut in the Start Menu under “Start -> Bitnami APPNAME Stack -> Application console” (Windows). Learn more.

The grant tables define the initial MySQL user accounts and their access privileges. The default configuration consists of:

  • A privileged account with a username of root. The root user has remote access to the database.
  • An anonymous user without remote access to the database server. This user can only connect from the local machine and it is only intended for testing.
  • A test database only intended for testing.

Clone an existing GoCD pipeline

Clone pipeline functionality helps you create a new pipeline from an existing pipeline by giving it a new name. Typically when setting up a pipeline for a new branch, it is very useful to take an existing pipeline and clone it.

If the user is a pipeline group admin, she can clone the new pipeline into a group that she has access to. If the user is an admin she can clone the pipeline into any group or give a new group name, in which case the group gets created.

  • Navigate to the Admin tab
  • Locate the pipeline that needs to be cloned
  • In that row, click on the "Clone" icon.
  • Fill in the name of the new pipeline
  • Select a pipeline group. If you are an admin, you will be able to enter the name of the pipeline group using the auto suggest or enter a new group name
  • Click "Save"
