The Monkees – The Good Earth lyrics

When I was a child and the road was dark and the way was long and alone,
My heart would lift as I turned the bend and saw the lights of home.
Now high above in a silent sky,
In a still and starry space,
A man looks down on the earth below,
And that blue and green and shining glow,
To him is the lights of home.

It's the good earth, yes the good earth.
It's a land of sun and rain and snow,
And mulberry trees and mistletoe,
And burning plains and raging seas,
And Sunday morning taking your ease,
Watching your children grow.

It's the good earth, yes the good earth,
Where we fought and loved and killed and died,
And ruined and ravished the countryside,
But now, from a million miles away,
From another world that's cold and gray,
Someone is able to look and say,
"That's the good earth."

So isn't it time we stopped the tears?
We've lived together for thousands of years,
And whether I'm wrong, and whether you're right,
Whether you're black, and whether I'm white,
One day we'll stand on the edge of the world,
And someone will ask us the land of our birth,
And we'll look into his eyes and quietly say:
"It's the good earth, yes the good earth."

Why can't we be good on the good earth?

Kofi Annan ’61—founding chair of the Kofi Annan Foundation, seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations, and 2001 Nobel Peace Prize winner—came back to campus in May. During his visit, the college unveiled the newly renamed Kofi Annan Institute for Global Citizenship in recognition of his global leadership and dedication to peace. Annan also spoke with President Brian Rosenberg in front of a large crowd of Mac community members. Their conversation, edited and condensed below, featured Annan’s reflections on current global challenges, leadership, and his own journey.

Brian Rosenberg: What are the essential qualities of a good leader?
Kofi Annan: A good leader must have good judgment—a keen sense of what is right and what is wrong. You need discipline. You need compassion. Good leaders must also be good listeners. Above all, a good leader must also be a good follower. It’s counterintuitive, but a good leader cannot always be right. You cannot win all the time. There are people around you with ideas—and if they are good ideas and they are right, you follow them. You have to follow them for [those people] to follow you tomorrow. But not many leaders understand this. They think that’s a sign of weakness and that they need to be tough and strong. That’s not leadership.

We seem to be living through a moment with a resurgence of leaders who perhaps have tendencies toward autocratic rule—and yet, many people seem to vote for them. What do you think is the attraction to that version of a strong leader?
I think the politicians who are populist and xenophobic and push nationalist ideas are tapping into something. They realize that there is a large segment of the population that’s unhappy. And the world is changing very fast, so these people are disoriented, and they are really not getting any expression of hope and help from their leaders. They are desperate, so they listen to the individual who comes up and promises easy solutions.

I have to blame, to some extent, the mainstream leaders who are not engaging with their people. There is a tendency for mainstream politicians sometimes to chase the extremist politicians on the right or on the left, thinking that’s where the votes are. And yet, if you speak to the people honestly, they will get it. You engage with the people and explain to them that, yes, the job you had is gone, it’s not coming back. Coal is not coming back. Some jobs went to China, but most of the jobs have been eliminated through innovation and technology. Tell them there will be new jobs coming, but they will require training—and that we will train you for it, and these are the plans. When they know there are plans and somebody’s working with them on their future, it gives hope.

But when that conversation is not taking place, there is a tendency to look for the savior who can come, in one form or the other, with loose promises that will never be fulfilled. I think the social contract between government and the people has broken down in many countries and it has to be reestablished. Trust is gone. Trust has to be reestablished.

With your foundation, you’ve focused on developing youth leadership. Is the best way to develop a new kind of leader to start with children when they’re very young and begin to teach them what leadership really means?
The young women and men of today are really people of their times. They have more knowledge than we had, and they understand their world. They know what is going on and what is likely to come. And I think we should encourage them to get involved and begin to take over.

I firmly believe that you are never too young to lead. And so I encourage young people with capacity and desire and willingness to play a role—and we should listen to them, because we have a tendency not always to listen to them. If I have a legal problem, I go to a lawyer. For an accounting problem, I go to an accountant. But until recently, if there is a youth problem, we make the decisions for them. We don’t consult them. I think that is beginning to change.

How do you feel about the role of social media both in the proper functioning of democracies and also just in the creation of culture?
I think social media has great potential. It can be used positively, but we have to admit it can be used negatively. If we have a system where people can be corralled into echo chambers and reinforce their prejudices. . . you are making it very difficult for democracy to work the way it should. It makes it difficult to have sensible conversation on issues of importance, to be able to come to a compromise.

And one has to have a system of weeding out the blatant lies that sometimes affect how people vote. If I’m a voter and I have a feeling that elections could be interfered with directly or indirectly by groups of people playing games with social media and influence, why should I go and vote? Even before this became a real issue, some people didn’t vote because they weren’t sure their votes would count. It is very important that we do.

At Macalester, you immersed yourself thoroughly not just on campus but around Minnesota and the United States. What importance did you see then in encountering people whose backgrounds, whose views, whose life experiences were different from your own?
I found it fascinating to be working with people from different countries, different cultures, different religions. I found it exciting and I was curious to learn from them, and I have not lost that curiosity. And so having lived on campus and worked with all these students, later on, when I joined the United Nations, the idea of working in an organization with over 180 different nationalities wasn’t so shocking or so strange.

This is a perfect competition for persons who have a beginner’s level understanding of various concepts of machine learning and data science, and are looking to polish their understanding and check how they stand against a larger community.

This hackathon with the prize money has ended on 21st July, 2018. But you can still practice with this problem and submit your solutions. The leaderboard will reflect your score.

Data scientists take their beer very seriously. Recommendations from friends? No thank you. Websites? Too many pop-ups. Ads? Yeah, as if. They can trust only true solid numbers. Here’s a fun fact: Last year, Indians drank a total of 4.7 million litres of beer and the number is expected to go up to 6.5 billion litres by 2022.

Newer brands are also entering the market — take Delhi-based startup Bira 91, for example. With the $50 million they have raised, Bira plans to flood India with more beer and fill in that gap between traditional inexpensive brands and expensive ones.

So how will data scientists choose their beer? Will they look at the combination of barley, water, hops and yeast arrived upon? There are many things to consider — a series of complex biochemical reactions need to take place to make the perfect beer.

That’s why, here at MachineHack, we have entrusted this very important job to the most trustworthy people in the world (especially when it comes to beer) to you, the data scientists.

The train and test data will consist of various features that describe a beer. In many beer cellars, important factors such as temperature and humidity are maintained by a climate control system. Hence features like Cellar Temperature and Serving Temperature become really important. This is an actual data set that is curated over months of primary and secondary research by our team. Each row contains fixed size object of features. There are nine features and each feature can be accessed by its name.

  • ABV – Alcohol By Volume
  • Brewing Company
  • Food Pairing – Perfect food to have with this beer
  • Glassware Used – Perfect glassware to use to enjoy this beer
  • Beer Name – Name of the beer
  • Ratings
  • Score (Predict) – Overall score of the beer
  • Style Name – Style in which the beer is prepared
  • Cellar Temperature
  • Serving Temperature

Problem Statement

With the given nine features (categorical and continuous) build a model to predict the score of the beer.

Troubleshooting your Apple products: The last word

troubleshoot wrench

Writer Chris Breen is looking at a big change and has something to say. He writes:

After decades of offering advice to Apple users in the pages of MacUser and then Macworld, I‘m making a career change and heading off to a fruit-flavored tech company sandwiched between Santa Clara and Sunnyvale. As this will be my last word from Mac 911, is there anything I can say to put this whole “Ack, my tech isn‘t working!” thing into perspective?

I’ve found these three broad principles to be the most helpful.

Don’t panic.

Puzzle it out.

Have faith.

Don’t panic

One of the dumbest brilliances I ever heard was this gem from a woman who‘d had one highball too many:

”Your odds of winning the lottery are actually 50/50. You either win, or you don’t.”

Those who’ve endured the first 15 pages of Statistics for the Inebriated might suggest that there’s a bit more to it than that, but you can‘t escape the core loveliness of the premise: It’s this or it’s that and nothing in between.

It’s a sentiment that I like so much, in fact, that I carry it with me whenever I’m faced with a hunk of misbehaving technology. I prefer to think of it this way:

It’s either broken or it isn’t. And it probably isn’t, so why not see if you can fix it?

When you accept that there’s either nothing or something you can do about the problem, it makes tackling it less stressful. If it’s busted you’re going to take it to the shop or replace it anyway. And unless you perform an entirely boneheaded operation in an attempt to correct it (and I’d suggest that introducing a Dremel into your solution counts in that regard), you can tackle the problem without making it worse.

Of course no one should work without a safety net. You’ll be far calmer if you know that you have a complete (and verified) backup of your most precious data. If a gadget has met its maker, you can always get another one (though the cost may be dear). But if something has vaporized the pictures of your daughter’s third birthday and you have no backup, you’re going to have to work up a pretty good excuse when, years later, she turns on the Margaret Keane eyes and asks “Daddy, why are there no pictures of me when I was a child? Didn’t you love me?”

verify time machine

With a verified backup in hand you have the safety net you need to troubleshoot your problems.

Puzzle it out

Each of us can be allotted several minutes of spicy language when a favorite gadget becomes unresponsive. But once you’ve thoroughly vented, it’s time to hitch up the overalls and have a good think about what might have gone wrong.

And the key here is to avoid looking into the abyss where anything could have gone wrong and you’re therefore helpless to troubleshoot and fix your problem. The truth is, it’s not anything. It’s something (or maybe a couple of somethings). And the only job you have is figuring out what that something is.

You can arrive at this answer by having a sense of how this bit of tech works, from the moment you started it to the point where The Bad Thing happened.

For instance, if your Mac or iPhone won’t start up, it’s likely you have a power issue. The Mac’s not plugged into a working outlet or an iPhone’s battery is wholly drained, for example. Investigating for minute signs of life (a quietly whirring fan, for instance) can provide more clues.

power strip

Mac won’t start? Perhaps it’s something really simple.

Or you’ve made some change—installed an operating system update or jacked in some new peripheral—and everything goes kablooey afterwards. Or this one app quits or locks up every single time you launch it. Or, good lord, your browser is so slooooooow.

Each behavior is a bit of evidence. And more often than not, you can come up with a short list of prime suspects based on the nature of the crime. If you can piece together that evidence and the likely cause, a web search can often give a clue as to where the problem lies (and what you can do about it). Sometimes a solution is as simple as undoing the last thing you’ve done, reinstalling an app, or plugging that thingamajig into a different port.

Have faith

Apple is not doing its current bang-up business simply because of its sleek designs and minty-fresh breath. People like Apple products because they famously “just work.”

Of course they don’t always (and thank heavens for that, as this column’s life would have been severely truncated if everything worked perfectly). However, the gist of this idea is that the operation of Apple’s hardware and software is predictable. Far more often than not, you perform tasks in a way that makes sense. You want to turn a page on an iPad? Swipe to the left, just as you would with a book. You’d like to zoom in on an image on your Mac? Place two fingers on the trackpad and spread them apart. You can’t close this window? Maybe there’s an active one somewhere else that has to be dealt with first.

Apple’s interface designers know their business (and honestly, I’d say this whether or not I was joining the company). When faced with a problem, meditate for a moment and try to think of the most obvious way to get out of it. Force-quitting apps is a common last-ish resort (though denying your device power of any kind is the ultimate last-ditch effort). But there are usually several steps in between—updating your operating system, downloading a more current version of an app, restarting your device, and so on.

It’s precisely because of Apple’s dedication to (mostly) consistent and intuitive design that I’ve been able to bang away on this column for these many years. I’m trained as a musician, for goodness sake. I couldn’t describe to you the precise mechanics of an integrated circuit nor program my way out of a cheesecloth sack. But the workings of Apple technology and design? That I get.

And if I can understand it, there’s no stopping you.

Posidonia meadows are said to be harmed by anchors.

Various organisations have raised a petition to urge the acceleration of approval for the regional environment ministry's decree for protecting posidonia sea grass. The petition consists of the signatures of over 200 people - national and international - who are specialists in marine science and research.

A presentation of a "manifesto" seeking the speeding-up of the decree was given on Thursday by Isabel Moreno of Amics de la Terra (Friends of the Earth), Toni Muñoz of GOB and Joan Moranta of fellow environmentalists Terraferida. A message was that the loss of posidonia meadows is a well-known fact so it is urgent that action is taken against anchoring and spillage.

Posidonia is said to be disappearing at an alarming rate in the Mediterranean. Fifty per cent of the sea grass in Spanish Mediterranean waters is around the Balearics. Factors causing the decline, other than anchoring and spillage, include sand extraction, coastal development and climate change. The consequences of the loss are a decrease in fishing areas, a deterioration in water quality, a loss of sand and greater coastal erosion.

In the bay of Pollensa, meanwhile, a project has been started to restore two hectares of posidonia meadow. It involves Red Electrica (the company equivalent to the National Grid in the UK) and the Mediterranean Institute of Advanced Studies, which is based in Majorca. Posidonia fragments are being planted in an area off Punta de l'Avançada on the Formentor promontory.

The project also has the backing of the regional government and the national ministry of defence, which is allowing facilities at the base in Puerto Pollensa to be used. Red Electrica is contributing half a million euros to a four-year scheme to plant almost 13,000 posidonia fragments.

“I got a bad feeling from him." Cate Blanchett says Weinstein was inappropriate with her.

Cate Blanchett has accused disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of behaving inappropriately towards her.

The Australian is the latest Hollywood star to make allegations of sexual misconduct against the producer, following claims by others including Rose McGowan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie.

Blanchett has appeared in a number of films produced by Weinstein, including The Talented Mr Ripley, Carol and The Aviator.

In an interview with trade publication Variety, the Australian star was asked if Weinstein sexually harassed or behaved inappropriately towards her.

“With me, yes,” Blanchett replied. “I got a bad feeling from him.”

She continued: “I think he really primarily preyed, like most predators, on the vulnerable. I mean. He would often say to me, ‘We’re not friends’.”

When asked what he meant by that, Blanchett replied: “Well, I wouldn’t do what he was asking me to do,” but declined to specify further.

“I’m really interested in the people who have transgressed in ways that are beyond the bounds of offensive, what people like Harvey have done, and there are men across many industries [who have done that],” she added.

LISTEN: Mia Freedman weighs on why the #metoo movement is so powerful. Post continues.

“He’s been held up as an exemplar because he’s unfortunately typical of certain men. I’m interested in those people being prosecuted. We have to set a legal precedent.

“Part of the mission of Time’s Up is to help those who do not have the capacity to raise the funds to defend themselves and to move toward workplace equality, fairness and safety.

“When legal precedent is set by people being actually convicted, then other people can benefit from that because those precedents have been set.

“But me fuelling the gossip and accounts? There’s enough out there.”

Weinstein has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women and is the subject of police investigations in London, New York and Los Angeles.

He has denied all allegations of non-consensual sex.

When asked if she thought Weinstein could go to jail, Blanchett responded: “Well, I hope so.”

Blanchett also spoke about the allegations of sexual abuse against director Woody Allen, made by his daughter Dylan and denied by Allen.

The actress won an Oscar for her role in Allen’s film Blue Jasmine.

“Obviously, Dylan Farrow has been living in a world of pain, and if the case has not been properly tried, then it needs to be reopened and go back into court, because that’s a place where those things get solved,” she said.

Asked if she would ever work with either of them, she said: “I don’t think Harvey will be making films with anybody. He was brought on as the producer on many films that I had absolutely no say on. I didn’t have a creative or functional relationship with him.

“Would I work with Woody again? I had a very productive time working with Woody, and he has written some of the most extraordinary roles for women.

“But at the time I worked with him I knew absolutely nothing about what was going on, and it came out subsequently.

“But, far more important than me adding to yet another headline, and finger-pointing is, if that issue has not been dealt with, I am absolutely for it to go back into the courts because there lies the solution.

“There are many male directors who I have heard about and have not necessarily had positive experiences with whom I would not work with again who didn’t lay a finger on me at all.

“There are many reasons why one doesn’t want to work with people again.”

Sarah Ferguson shares the Queen's hidden role in Princess Eugenie's wedding.

To catch up on all things royal family, make sure you check out our Royal Hub. We’ve got you completely covered.

We could be forgiven for thinking the Queen sits back now for family events and lets others take the reins.

But according to her ex-daughter-in-law, Sarah Ferguson, Queen Elizabeth played a significant role in the planning of Princess Eugenie’s wedding earlier this month.

In a chat to Hello! magazine about the royal wedding, Fergie gushed about the monarch.

“I cannot be more grateful to Eugenie’s grandmother for making this day so memorable,” she said.

“I am so grateful for all the hard work and kindness behind the scenes to make such a special day for our daughter.”

Fergie said the Queen played a big part in helping the day come together. Image: Getty

Ahead of the wedding, Prince Andrew explained to ITV's This Morning that it was in fact, his mother that insisted on Eugenie wedding Jack Brooksbank at one of the royal family's most prestigious churches, St George's Chapel.

"It doesn't make any difference who you are, all the approvals go through the Queen anyway," he told the hosts.

"The Queen very firmly said St George's is where you're having the wedding so I said aye aye mam, turn to the right, salute and carry on."

(Side note: That is probably the most British sentence we've ever heard.)

Perhaps the head of the royal family also wanted to disprove the idea she plays favourites with her grandchildren.

Many people suspect Prince Harry is the Queen's favourite grandchild. A theory strengthened when she gave him her blessing to marry divorcee Meghan Markle in May - a stark contrast to when she didn't attend Prince Charles' wedding to Camilla in 2005.

A New Kind Of Healthcare

Post Polio Syndrome (PPS)

post polio syndrome

Medical Marijuana and Post Polio Syndrome (PPS)

People have been using medical marijuana as medicine for a very long time. Patients using the herb find tremendous relief from a whole range of unpleasant symptoms, from chronic pain and severe nausea to inflammation and sleep problems and disorders. Now, patients can use cannabis for post-polio syndrome to find relief from its symptoms too.

What Is Polio?

Polio is an infectious disease caused by a virus. An infected person has the virus living in their throat and intestines. It’s usually spread when someone comes in contact with an infected person’s stool. If the infected person coughs or sneezes, you can become infected from the droplets. The infection can contaminate water and food as well when people don’t wash their hands.

Some individuals become paralyzed. Once paralyzed from polio, there’s no treatment to reverse it.

What is Post-Polio Syndrome?

Some individuals with polio develop post-polio syndrome (PPS) years later. It is rarely a life-threatening condition, but its symptoms can impact your quality of life and everyday independent functioning. PPS symptoms include:

  • Joint and muscle pain
  • New muscle weakness
  • Tiredness

When the symptoms first present, it typically begins with muscle weakness in the areas that were originally impacted by the polio infection. Post-polio syndrome is a nervous system condition you can develop 15 to 50 years after someone is infected with polio. The condition affects your nerves and muscles, causing you to experience:

  • Fatigue
  • Weakness
  • Joint pain
  • Muscle pain
  • Reduced tolerance to cold

Even though the illness often makes daily activities more challenging, you can usually control your symptoms with treatment to keep you staying active. Post-polio syndrome is a gradual progression, and your symptoms might not be bad for several years. In some cases, it can cause difficulties in breathing and sleeping if there is respiratory muscle weakness. If you develop weakness in your swallowing muscles, it can lead to you aspirating food into your lungs or developing pneumonia.

You can only develop post-polio syndrome if you’ve had polio. However, you won’t necessarily get polio again if you have post-polio syndrome. The condition also doesn’t spread between people as polio does. In the U.S. and most other countries, the vaccine for polio has wiped the disease out. Post-polio syndrome is not contagious, and only survivors of polio can develop it.

Causes of Post-Polio Syndrome

While nobody knows for sure what causes post-polio syndrome, there are a few theories.

When you get the polio infection, it affects your motor neurons (nerve cells), especially the ones located in your spinal cord that deliver electrical impulses or messages between your muscles and brain. There are three basic components of each neuron:

  1. An axon or major branching fiber
  2. A cell body
  3. Some dendrites or smaller branching fibers

The polio infection typically destroys or damages a lot of these motor neurons. The neurons that remain grow new fibers while the surviving motor units get larger.

This process helps you recover muscle use, and it works as a driving force pushing your nerve cell body to provide nourishment to the extra fibers. This stress, over the years, might be more to handle than the neuron can take, which can result in the growing fibers and neurons gradually deteriorating.

Types of Post-Polio Syndrome

Some other common names for post-polio syndrome include:

  • Post-polio sequelae
  • Polio, late effects
  • Post-polio muscular atrophy
  • Post-poliomyelitis syndrome

History of Post-Polio Syndrome

The U.S, from the early parts of the 20th century through the 1960s, has seen polio epidemics affect a lot of people. Vaccines for polio just about eliminated the disease in the U.S. as well as in many of the world’s developed nations. However, U.S. individuals and other people around the world infected with the virus before the creation of the vaccines may develop post-polio syndrome.

The diagnosis criteria for post-polio syndrome over the past 20 years have evolved. Diagnostic criteria include:

  • Motor neuron loss and evident prior paralytic poliomyelitis, as confirmed by signs of atrophy and residual weakness of muscles on a neuromuscular examination and the acute paralytic illness history. Signs on the electromyography (EMG) of nerve damage are also looked for.
  • A period of complete or partial functional recovery following acute paralytic poliomyelitis with an interval of stable neuromuscular function following after for typically 15 years or more.

Another symptom is the slow onset of persistent and progressive abnormal muscle fatigability or new muscle weakness with or without:

  • Joint and muscle pain
  • Muscle atrophy
  • Generalized fatigue

Onset can often appear suddenly and follow surgery, trauma or a period of inactivity. New issues with swallowing or breathing are less common but may occur due to PPS. Symptoms must last a minimum of a year and exclude other medical, orthopedic and neuromuscular issues as symptom causes.

Symptoms of Post-Polio Syndrome

With post-polio syndrome, you’ll experience a cluster of debilitating symptoms affecting you years after you have polio. These symptoms include:

  • Fatigue
  • Progressive joint or muscle pain and weakness
  • Swallowing or breathing problems
  • Atrophy or muscle wasting
  • Reduced tolerance to cold temperatures
  • Sleep apnea or other sleep-related breathing disorders

Consult with your physician before you travel to any area of the world where there is still naturally occurring polio or where people still use the oral polio vaccine (OPV), such as Africa, South and Central America and Asia. They may recommend you get a polio vaccination.

Effects of Polio

small number of people who have polio will also develop more severe symptoms affecting the spinal cord and brain, such as:

  • Weakness in the legs, arms or both
  • Paralysis
  • Meningitis — affects about one of 25 individuals with polio
  • Paresthesia, or feeling of needles and pins in the legs — affects about one of 200 individuals with polio

The most serious polio symptom is paralysis since it may result in permanent disability or even death.Out of 100 individuals with polio-related paralysis, between two and 10 die because polio affects their breathing muscles.

Mental Effects

Fatigue is a common symptom polio patients complain of, along with weakness and pain. Fatigue can also indicate depression. Depression can vary in its symptoms, form and severity. Common symptoms include:

  • Irritability
  • Fatigue
  • Difficulty remembering and concentrating

polio fatigue

Bipolar depression comes with both depressive and manic characteristics. All these symptoms may impair your health, functioning, financial stability and relationships and negatively affect your loved ones’ lives.

Being able to recognize and treat depression in polio survivors is imperative since depressive symptoms like sleep disturbances and fatigue will aggravate symptoms of polio’s late effects. According to one study, none of the survivors of polio with depressive disorders were taking antidepressant medication or were in counseling. Prognosis studies show that you can treat this depression, and the best improvements come from a pharmacology and psychotherapy combination.

Post-Polio Syndrome Statistics

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

  • Post-polio syndrome can affect survivors of polio decades after they’ve recovered from the original polio infection.
  • A set of health issues characterize PPS like fatigue, muscle weakness and joint deterioration pain that starts around 15 to 40 years following the original polio infection.
  • Out of every 100 survivors of polio, PPS affects around 25 to 40.

Current Treatments Available for Post-Polio Syndrome and Their Side Effects

The best medicine is prevention. Good hygiene and consistently washing your hands are best for avoiding contracting the condition. Increase calcium in your diet, and avoid sugar. Quarantine any individual suspected of being infected.

Vaccination is the best way of preventing polio. Most kids in the U.S. receive four shots of the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV). They receive a dose:

  • At the age of two months
  • At the age of four months
  • When they’re between the ages of six and 18 months
  • When they’re between the ages of four and six years and just starting school

polio vaccination

Individuals with weakened immune systems can receive IPV safely. However, how protective it is in people with severe immune deficiency is not known. Redness and pain at the injection site are the common side effects of the vaccine.

U.S. adults don’t receive the polio vaccine routinely since they’re likely already immune and have minimal risk of contracting the disease. But, those with a high risk of the disease who have already had their original IPV or OPV vaccination series should get a single IPV booster shot.

One IPV booster dose will last a lifetime. Adults who are at risk are those who travel to countries where polio still exists or individuals taking care of people with polio.

If you have an undocumented vaccination status or are not vaccinated, you should get a primary polio vaccination shot series. It will be two IPV doses at intervals of four to eight weeks, and then your third dose will be six months to one year after your second dose.

Energy Conservation

Energy conservation is a standard practice in treatment where you rest frequently and pace your physical activity to reduce fatigue. Devices like a walker, cane, motor scooter or wheelchair can assist you in conserving energy. A raised toilet or shower grab bar can also help. In addition, a therapist can offer you advice on how to breathe effectively to conserve energy.

Doctors focus on making you as comfortable as possible, preventing complications and speeding up your recovery. Your doctor may prescribe:

  • Portable breathing machines (ventilators) to help you breathe
  • Pain relievers
  • Physical therapy and light exercise to prevent muscle function loss and deformity

Contact your doctor if you’ve just gotten back from traveling abroad or if you begin experiencing any of the symptoms like those of post-polio syndrome.

Other Lifestyle Changes

You can do other things to help you manage your PPS symptoms too:

  • Keep yourself warm because you may have decreased tolerance to cold when you have PPS. Always keep a blanket, sweater or sweatshirt handy in case you become chilled.
  • Remove all scatter rugs that could potentially lead to you falling.
  • Consider light swimming to provide you with physical activity without straining or fatiguing yourself.
  • Use a sleep apnea device if diagnosed with the condition.
  • Work with a speech therapist if you have swallowing difficulties.

How/Why Marijuana Can Be an Effective Treatment for Post-Polio Syndrome

Medical cannabis could help you if you’re suffering from post-polio syndrome and are experiencing symptoms of fatigue and pain that go along with the syndrome. Unfortunately, if your symptoms are severe, you may end up living with substantial pain every day.

While narcotic painkillers help with the pain, they’re often contraindicated for post-polio syndrome patients because they can cause problems with breathing and slow your central nervous system down.

pps marijuana help

And, since you already have a high risk of developing breathing problems because of post-polio syndrome, it’s too much of a risk for doctors to prescribe you narcotics. Medical marijuana for polio treatment, however, will provide you with the same amount of pain relief as narcotics but without affecting your central nervous system.

What Side Effects/Symptoms of Post-Polio Syndrome Can Medical Marijuana Treat?

Medical marijuana for polio can help treat polio symptoms such as:

Medical pot can help patients with polio because its cannabinoids are:

  • Appetite stimulants
  • Anti-convulsive
  • Anti-microbial
  • Analgesics
  • Immunosuppressants
  • Also, the cannabinoids help with muscle spasms and neuropathy, and sativas work like anti-depressants.

Best Strains of Marijuana to Use for Post-Polio Syndrome Symptoms and Treatment Side Effects

Strains of medical cannabis for polio are plentiful. They each have their healing properties to tackle many of the symptoms of polio. Some good strains you’ll want to try to relieve your symptoms include:

Strains for Pain

  • Mango Tango (hybrid)
  • Platinum Purple Kush (indica)
  • Fruit Punch (sativa)

Strains for Fatigue

  • White Lavender (hybrid)
  • Black Diesel (sativa)
  • Skittles (indica)

Strains for Sleep

  • Godberry (indica)
  • Sour Banana Sherbert (hybrid)
  • Blueberry Dream (sativa)

Strains for Nausea and Vomiting

  • Dairy Queen (hybrid)
  • Cracker Jack (sativa)
  • King’s Kush (indica)

Strains for Depression and Anxiety

  • OG Cheese (hybrid)
  • Sour Amnesia (sativa)
  • Tiger’s Milk (indica)

Best Methods of Marijuana Treatment to Use to Treat Side Effects and Symptoms of Post-Polio Syndrome

Cannabis methods vary. For instance, if you’re looking to medicate discreetly and/or need long-lasting effects, you may want to try patches, edibles or tinctures. Those who can’t tolerate the THC in medical weed can try micro-dosed products rich in CBD. If your pain is more localized, transdermal patches and balms are ideal.

  • Of course, you always have the smoking option, but this delivery method may not be a good idea since post-polio syndrome already causes breathing problems. Vaporizers may be a better alternative.

Gold Slightly Lower as Fed Surprises With Upbeat Rate Statement

Gold has dipped in the Thursday session. In North American trade,  XAU/USD is down 0.40%, with spot gold trading at $1254.00 per ounce. On the release front, unemployment claims dipped to 237 thousand, marking a 3-week low. The Empire State Manufacturing Index rebounded with a strong gain of 19.8, crushing the estimate of 5.2 points. The Philly Fed Manufacturing Index dropped sharply to 27.6, but still beat the estimate of 25.5 points.

The markets had priced in a rate hike at almost 100%, and the Federal Reserve did not disappoint. After weeks of broad hints that a rate hike was coming, the Federal Reserve made a move at the June meeting, marking its second rate hike in 2017. The Fed increased rates by 25 basis points, to a target range of 1.00 percent to 1.25 percent. Fed policymakers sounded upbeat in the rate statement, which that was more hawkish than expected. The statement portrayed an optimistic picture, noting that the economy was growing and the labor market remained strong. Concerns over low inflation were brushed aside, as the statement noted that although inflation remains below the Fed’s target of 2.0%, it expected that target to be reached in the “medium term”. The Fed projected one more rate hike in 2017, and analysts were quick to circle December meeting as the most likely date. However, the markets don’t appear to share the Fed’s optimism as far as another rate hike this year. The odds for a September increase are at 18%, compared to 23% a week ago, according to the CME Group. As for a December increase, the odds  stand at just 38%.

Although the rate hike was practically a non-event, the Fed still managed to surprise the markets. Earlier in the year, the Fed mentioned its goal of reducing its $4.2 billion balance sheet (comprised of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities). Fed Chair Janet Yellen revisited this issue at her follow-up press conference on Wednesday. Yellen was short on specifics, saying that the goal was to begin the normalization “relatively soon”. The Fed balance sheet ballooned after the financial crisis in 2008, as the Fed implemented a massive quantitative easing program as part of its accommodative monetary policy, together with interest rates of zero. The gradual reduction in the purchase of these assets is significant for the markets, as signifies a vote of confidence in the strength of the US economy.

Capital One Venture card now has a new airline miles transfer option — is it worth it?

Published: Nov 16, 2018 9:03 a.m. ET

For a limited time, the card comes with a sign-up bonus worth $750

Bloomberg News
Capital One Venture customers will soon be able to convert the miles they earn with their credit card into airline miles for 12 travel loyalty programs.

Capital One Venture Rewards US:COF  cardholders will soon have another way to cash in the miles they earn with the card. The program could appeal to people who do a lot of overseas travel, but others may want to think twice.

Starting in December, Venture customers will be able to convert the miles they earn with their credit card into airline miles for 12 travel loyalty programs. They can then use those miles to book airline award tickets, get special deals, top off their mileage account and upgrade existing bookings. The miles transfer benefit will also be available for VentureOne, Spark Miles and Spark Miles Select cardholders.

The program comprises foreign airlines currently, though Capital One said there are plans to add more loyalty programs on an ongoing basis. Here are the participating programs and airlines:

Currently, Venture cardholders earn 2 miles for every purchase. When transferred to these loyalty partners though, those 2 Venture miles will only be worth 1.5 airline miles.

Venture customers will still have access to their other rewards options, including using their miles as cash to pay for previous travel expenses such as taxi fares or cruises or to put toward new bookings. There is no cap to the number of miles Venture cardholders can earn.

The card also comes without foreign transaction fees — which can make trips abroad unexpectedly expensive — and includes benefits such as travel accident insurance and rental car insurance. The card has no annual fee in the first year, and an annual fee of $95 after that. The card carries a variable annual percentage rate (APR) of between 14.74% and 24.74%. The average APR for airline cards is currently 17.12%, according to

Some argue that the new program may be of limited value to the average Venture customer. “There’s no doubt that expert travel hackers will find lucrative sweet spots on international carriers and transferring to their U.S.-based partners, but the typical consumer wants a much simpler approach,” said Ted Rossman, industry analyst at

Additionally, Capital One is running a limited-time offer in partnership with travel website The Points Guy through which new Venture customers can get 75,000 miles (the equivalent of $750) after spending $3,000 in the first three months. The card’s typical sign-up bonus is just 50,000 miles after $3,000 in spending.

Rossman called the sign-up bonus offer “astounding for a credit card with no annual fee in year one.” Still, frequent travelers might be better off opting for a card such as Chase Sapphire Reserve US:JPM he said, because of the other perks it comes with and the higher earn rate on travel and dining purchases.

“The average cardholder will get the most value from this card by using miles the traditional way – to cancel out travel purchases,” Rossman said. “That will yield an effective 2% return, which is in line with the best cash back credit cards. For most people, the Capital One Venture is a cash back card with a travel twist.”

Jobless claims stay low despite slower hiring

Published: June 9, 2016 10:10 a.m. ET

New filings fall 4,000 to 264,000, show no evidence of rising layoffs

Hiring in the U.S. slowed in the spring, but layoffs also remain low.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Initial U.S. jobless claims fell to the lowest level in six weeks, showing that layoffs remain low despite a nationwide slowdown in hiring.

New applications for unemployment benefits declined by 4,000 to 264,000 from a revised 268,000 in the prior week, the government said Thursday.

Also see: These five areas of the U.S. are adding jobs faster than anywhere else

Claims sit near the lowest level in decades and have barely budged even though the pace of job creation has cratered in the past two months. The economy added just 38,000 jobs in May after a mediocre 123,000 gain in April.

Many economists view the slowdown in job creation as temporary, though other labor-market indicators suggest hiring could be soft for months. Whatever the case, there’s little reason to believe companies are prepared to lay off more workers.

“”There is no evidence here that layoffs are picking up,” said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Amerst Pierpont Securities.

Also see: Fed’s job market index in negative territory for fifth month in a row

The average of new claims over the past month, meanwhile, fell by 7,500 to a seasonally adjusted 269,500, the Labor Department said. The four-week average smooths out fluctuations in the more volatile weekly report and is seen as a more accurate measure of labor-market trends.

Continuing jobless claims decreased by 77,000 to 2.09 million in the week ended May 28, marking the lowest level since October 2000.

These claims, reported with a one-week delay, reflect people already receiving unemployment checks.

New push to bring better, faster internet access to airplanes

Published: Feb 26, 2018 2:54 a.m. ET

Group including airlines, telecoms seek to upgrade customer experience

Getty Images/iStockphoto
The proposed internet upgrade could be especially beneficial to business travelers.

Airbus SE AIR, -1.44%  , Delta Air Lines Inc. DAL, -0.07%  , Sprint Corp. S, -1.65%   and two U.S. satellite-services providers have kicked off an initiative to enhance Internet access on airliners, inviting other companies to join voluntary efforts to upgrade global standards for airborne connectivity.

The concept, still in its early stages, likely will require time to gain traction and develop necessary hardware and software changes. It also hinges on technical approvals from government regulators and aviation groups, along with overcoming traditional rivalries between wireless and satellite-services companies.

But if enough carriers, plane makers, communications providers and equipment suppliers eventually sign on, it could usher in an entirely new approach to airborne connectivity: faster speeds plus an improved user experience because passengers wouldn’t have to pay separately for broadband services on board.

A group calling itself the Seamless Air Alliance spelled out benefits of the potential changes on Sunday in Barcelona in conjunction with the opening of the Mobile World Congress, the annual gathering of the telecommunications industry. Mobile operators worldwide would be able to extend service directly into airliner cabins, allowing passengers to use their phones, tablets or other devices to seamlessly connect to the web while airborne.

    How to Troubleshoot Your Hubspot Page Styling Woes

    Written by Brian Bicknell on August 25, 2016

    Has your template purchase turned into a hassle? Are you trying to make a landing page but are running into more styling obstacles than a Kardashian? Troubleshooting rendering issues on Hubspot pages is an interesting challenge due to all of the moving parts – you may have custom programming, purchased template CSS files, a Design Manager template, a page made from the DM template, and an end product to consider. If something looks wrong on the page, how the heck do you find out what’s going on when there are so many different parts? The guess-and-check method can leave you in the dark for hours with nothing to show for your work. Luckily, there’s a light shining in the darkness – “Inspect”.

    The Basics of “Inspect”
    Do you know how to use your browser’s inspect feature? You should – it’ll make troubleshooting your Hubspot pages a cinch. Basically, the inspect tool allows you to peep into the HTML and CSS that are at work on your page in a relatively intuitive way. Firefox, Chrome, and Explorer all have inspect features. For this tutorial, I’ll focus on Chrome’s version, but they are all similar. In Chrome, right click on the area in question on a webpage and click “Inspect.”

    This will bring up the windows you see at the bottom of the screenshot below. In the left hand pane you’ll see the html for the page, and in the right, you can get various perspectives on the CSS for the page.

    You can focus in on a specific div, text, image, etc. by hovering over different HTML lines in the left window. You’ll notice that as you hover over different lines of HTML, corresponding elements will highlight on the web page. Use this as your guide to finding the bit of HTML that is relevant to your issue. When the element you want to inspect becomes highlighted on the webpage, click on that line of code in the left window of the inspector (Tip: To see elements contained within other elements, click the little arrow to the left of the HTML line). In the right window, you’ll see the CSS styling that applies to that element.

    Using “Inspect” to Troubleshoot
    Now we can begin to solve our mystery. Scroll down the right window until you come across a word that looks like it could apply to the issue you’re experiencing. Words like “color” and “font-family” are pretty obvious. Others may require some quick research.

    Here’s the brilliant part: A style is crossed out in the right window when it is being overridden by another style. Chances are, if you are trying to style something, but it’s not rendering on the final page, you will notice that it is crossed out in the inspector.

    You can quickly see the styling that is overriding yours by clicking the “Computed” tab at the top of the right window. Scroll to the relevant CSS attribute, and click on it. To the right you will see the source of this style – often it will simply be a CSS file you didn’t know was hijacking your design. Sometimes, it will have something ambiguous or some strange developer-speak. Don’t worry - this is often a clue that the style is coming from one of Hubspot’s built-in design tools, such as the CTA builder.

    In the above example, the highlighted row is the text color of an element on the page (selected from the left window). You can see on the right that the source of this style is “setup-style.min.css.”

    Once you know where the styling is coming from, or at least have a good idea, you are then equipped to go to the source and change it. The “Inspect” feature has even more goodies than what’s described above, so spend some time and get to know it. You will more than likely find that it saves your page-builder butt at some point in the future!

Ataribox experiences technical issues, delaying Indiegogo launch

Publish date:

Atari, or the people currently responsible for the brand, has been forced to delay crowdfunding for their Ataribox console, citing a developmental delay.

The Ataribox is planned to be based on 'PC technology', and is an AMD processor with Radeon graphics and a Linux-based operating system. The machine is planned to play selected titles from Atari's history, which the new owners of the Atari brand have access to, but also functioning as a personal computer, which could in theory install third-party games and services like Steam.

This was unveiled in July, with the technology detailed in September, with plans for a Spring 2018 launch. However, it seems now that this is all scheduled to change as the run-up to Ataribox's Indiegogo campaign has now been officially paused.

While Atari didn't give a specific reason, they've attributed the delay to 'one key element' on their checklist that is holding things up. There's no word on when that'll get fixed, though, so fans looking to pick one up will need to cross their fingers and wait for more news.
