Stadol (Butorphanol) Abuse, Addiction, And Treatment Options

Stadol abuse can cause shortness of breath and other serious side effects. The sedating and euphoric effects of this opioid medication can lead to dependence and addiction, which may require a combination of medication and therapy as effective treatment.

Stadol (Butorphanol) Abuse, Addiction, And Treatment Options

What Is Stadol?

Stadol was first approved for use in the United States in 1978. As a schedule IV controlled substance, Stadol has medicinal value and some potential for abuse and dependence. Although considered less addictive than other opioid medications, Stadol can cause life-threatening breathing problems when misused or mixed with other substances.

Stadol is the brand name for the generic drug butorphanol. Butorphanol is an opioid prescription medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. It acts on areas of the brain associated with pain and pleasure. Stadol is generally prescribed for pregnant women during labor or to reduce awareness during surgery.

Stadol comes as an injection or nasal spray. The injection is usually given once every 3-4 hours under medical supervision. The nasal spray can be used as needed, but no more than once every few hours. Both the nasal spray and injection of Stadol may be prescribed for use at home. If this is the case, the medication should be taken exactly as directed.

Taking Stadol in ways other than directed, or using someone else’s prescription, is suggestive of abuse. Abusing Stadol can lead to dependence and addiction, as butorphanol can be habit-forming. Taking too much Stadol may result in euphoria, sedation, and other signs and symptoms of abuse.

Signs And Symptoms Of Stadol Abuse

Both the Stadol injection and nasal spray can cause side effects. Abusing Stadol may result in increased side effects, which may include:

  • drowsiness
  • extreme tiredness
  • feeling of floating
  • hostility
  • insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep)
  • intense happiness
  • loss of coordination
  • mood changes
  • nervousness
  • unusual dreams

Because Stadol is an opioid, taking more of the drug than directed can intensify feelings of happiness or pleasure. If a person drinks alcohol, has a history of mental illness, or has ever used street drugs, they’re more likely to overuse Stadol and become addicted.

Once addicted, someone may show other signs of drug-seeking behavior. This may include compulsively using and craving Stadol, showing a lack of control and judgement relating to it, and continuing to use it despite harm to themselves or others. A person may neglect responsibilities at home, work, or school in favor of using Stadol, allowing relationships and obligations to deteriorate.

Butorphanol is a powerful opioid pain reliever that may cause a Stadol high when abused. Besides making someone feeling drowsy and sedated, overusing Stadol may lead to dangerous consequences.

The Dangers Of Stadol Addiction

Stadol addiction may cause an increase in serious side effects. Some serious side effects of the Stadol nasal spray or injection can include:

  • difficulty breathing
  • fast heartbeat
  • fever
  • hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t there)
  • hives
  • rash
  • vomiting

Taking Stadol may cause life-threatening breathing problems. The risk of experiencing breathing problems is increased when Stadol is mixed with other substances, like benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium), muscle relaxants (Flexeril), and other narcotic opioid pain relievers. Drinking alcohol or using street drugs also increase the risk of life-threatening side effects.

Overdose can occur when too much Stadol is taken or mixed with other substances. Symptoms of a Stadol overdose may include:

  • coma
  • death
  • slowed breathing

If a person is overdosing, 9-1-1 should be contacted immediately.

Although there are many dangers inherent to abusing Stadol, stopping use may be difficult because it can cause unpleasant symptoms of withdrawal.

Stadol (Butorphanol) Withdrawal And Detox

Suddenly stopping use of Stadol can cause uncomfortable symptoms of withdrawal. Withdrawal symptoms occur because the body and brain have developed a dependence to the drug. Drug dependence means the body must go through a period of adjustment after the drug is no longer used. This is called withdrawal, and symptoms of Stadol withdrawal may include:

  • agitation
  • chills
  • confusion
  • diarrhea
  • hallucinations
  • insomnia
  • loss of coordination
  • nervousness
  • shaking
  • sweats

Because symptoms of withdrawal can be intense and uncomfortable, people may use more Stadol or other substances to help alleviate symptoms. To avoid further drug use, and especially if symptoms are severe, a person can enter a medically-supervised detoxification, or detox, program. This generally takes place in a hospital or inpatient treatment center to provide a person with maximum comfort and safety during the worst of withdrawal.

During a detox program, staff can administer medications when necessary to help reduce drug cravings and alleviate symptoms of withdrawal. A detox program is not a cure for Stadol addiction, but is usually the first step in addiction treatment. Following detox, a person should immediately engage in further treatment options for the best results.

Treatment Options For Stadol Addiction

As an opioid, treatment for Stadol addiction will likely include a combination of medication and behavioral therapy. Currently, there are three government approved medications used for treating opioid addiction: methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. While each medication works differently, they may be used to reduce cravings, alleviate symptoms of withdrawal, and help a person engage in treatment.

Behavioral therapy is the most common form of addiction treatment and aims to change a person’s thinking and attitudes towards drugs. By changing attitudes towards drugs, a person can focus on learning the life skills needed to remain sober after treatment.

Treatment may take place in an outpatient or inpatient treatment center. Inpatient treatment, or residential rehab, can be effective for Stadol addiction because it can provide around-the-clock medical support, access to medication, and treatment for other mental health conditions. Staying at rehab can also provide withdrawal support during detox, peer support, a host of therapies, and a supportive community engaged in healing and recovery.

Oracle Midmarket—PRIMUS Global Technologies Success Story

PRIMUS Automates Hiring and Onboarding and Improves Performance Visibility by 50 Percent
PRIMUS Automates Hiring and Onboarding and Improves Performance Visibility by 50 Percent

Oracle Cloud enables us to identify talent faster

Oracle Cloud enables us to identify talent faster and support our business growth.

- Ramakrishna Challagulla, Business Operations, PRIMUS Global Technologies Pv

PRIMUS Global Technologies provides consulting services to a range of business sectors from its offices in India and the United States. One of its many services is IT staffing, and after a phase of sharp business growth, the company found itself handling up to 500 new hires a day, through 200 recruiters, for 100 clients.

Before implementing Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud, PRIMUS used separate processes to manage recruitment and onboarding, while data from 20 different account managers was habitually aggregated manually into one master spreadsheet to keep track of client staff requirements. There was no single view of candidate information, and it became challenging for recruiters to quickly identify the right talent and meet demands.

With Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud, the company now has a fully automated end-to-end recruitment and onboarding process. Job openings and candidate profiles are automatically imported onto a single platform, allowing top talent to be identified more quickly and improving business efficiency. Hiring status can be viewed and tracked from multiple devices, reports created in minutes, and visibility into recruiters’ performance has increased by 50 percent.

  • The need to meet the new-hire demands from more than 100 clients every day
  • Absence of one single view across the organisation’s global hiring status
  • Current processes resulted in duplication of data and hindered hiring efficiency and staff productivity

  • Oracle Talent Acquisition Cloud increased recruitment efficiency and staff productivity by automatically importing and organising candidate data on a single, easily accessible and secure platform
  • An integrated recruitment platform expanded recruitment channels and enabled rapid identification of talent to meet clients’ daily new-hire requirements
  • Increased visibility of individual recruiters’ performance by 50 percent, supporting business growth and ensuring high levels of service
  • Streamlined recruitment and onboarding processes enhanced the candidate experience and increased staff satisfaction

Enjoy your chocolate, but dark, in moderation

Question: I am trying to improve my eating habits, but one of my true weaknesses is chocolate. I can't imagine going a day without chocolate. Please don't tell me I have to give this up!

Answer: Given the state of the country, I'm happy to deliver some good news to start the year. However, like a lot of good news in the medical arena, it comes with some qualifications.

The cacao plant, native to Central America, is the source of chocolate. The Latin name for this plant means "food of the gods." It is believed the Aztecs may have valued cacao beans above gold.

Chocolate is nature's way of debunking the question, "Why does it seem that everything that tastes good turns out to be bad for you?" Chocolate, more specifically cacao, is one of the world's healthiest foods.

One characteristic that determines the health value of a food is its antioxidant content. Antioxidants are chemicals found in foods that remove "free radicals" from our bodies. These are byproducts of our metabolism, much like exhaust is a byproduct of internal combustion engines.

Free radicals are linked to everything from aging to cancer to heart disease to Alzheimer's disease. Antioxidants are found in many foods -- such as fresh fruits and vegetables -- and, surprise, cacao has a higher concentration of antioxidants than just about any other food, including "super foods" such as blueberries and acai berries.

Compared with other antioxidant sources, cacao has twice the antioxidant level of an equivalent amount of red wine and three times that of green tea. In addition, cacao is the best source of magnesium in the diet and contains several other minerals. It causes the release of endorphins in the brain, which may explain the pleasure we derive from eating it. Studies show cacao can lower blood pressure.

So, the more chocolate you eat, the healthier you get, right? Wrong.

Cacao is very high in calories. Depending on the source and how it is processed, cacao can contain 12 percent to 50 percent fat. The fats in cacao are the healthier, unsaturated types. These basically have a neutral effect health-wise, but their high calorie content means you cannot eat too much without risking major weight gain.

Pure cacao is too bitter for most tastes, so chocolate often consists of cacao mixed with sugar, milk and other ingredients. Milk chocolate contains more of the first two than cacao. Sugar and milk offset many, if not most, of cacao's benefits. The best form of cacao is pure cacao powder. This can be added to food and smoothies.

If you want your cacao a bit sweeter, then you should look for dark chocolate containing at least 70 percent cacao by weight. Most sources recommend limiting daily intake to six or seven grams -- about the size of 11/2 Hershey's Kisses.

Americans consume an average of 12 pounds of chocolate per person per year. That's more than double the amount recommended above, and most of it is the richer, unhealthy milk chocolate.

So, enjoy your chocolate, but do so in moderation and try to stick with healthy forms. The occasional piece of milk chocolate, candy bar or dish of chocolate ice cream won't hurt you if it is part of a balanced, otherwise healthy lifestyle.

Just don't kid yourself.

"Audacious Expressions on the Walls of the Temple": Adolph Gottlieb at The Jewish Museum

“How to get better religious art is very simple: just commission an artist. Then ask him to act as an artist, with imagination, with freedom, with vision, with daring.” So said the painter Adolph Gottlieb, one of three Modern artists who worked on an innovative Millburn, N.J., synagogue in the early 1950s. That Conservative synagogue — Congregation B’nai Israel — is now renovating and expanding, and has lent some of its art to the Jewish Museum for a small but transcendent exhibition. “Modern Art, Sacred Space: Motherwell, Ferber and Gottlieb” explores a postwar phenomenon, a meeting of secular and spiritual agendas that would be hard to convene today. Back then, artists, architects, dealers and rabbis shared progressive ideas about art’s place in the world. Today Abstract Expressionism is sacrosanct, and Modernist Reform and Conservative synagogues like Congregation B’nai Israel are the norm for suburban Jews. But at the time the Millburn synagogue was being constructed, both the building and the art in it were audacious. Congregation B’nai Israel, designed by the architect Percival Goodman and completed in 1951, marked a drastic change from the Old World architecture of earlier American synagogues. A set of low, sprawling boxes in glass, brick and light wood, it exemplified utopian Modernism and the aspirations of American Jewish communities after the war. Just as novel as the synagogue’s architecture was the fact that it incorporated cutting-edge art by abstract painters and sculptors. The art world at midcentury was full of Jewish artists and intellectuals: the painters Jack Tworkov, Ad Reinhardt and Barnett Newman, to name just a few. But it was more common to find Jewish theology in a museum or gallery than Abstract Expressionism in a place of worship. The synagogue’s three large artworks — Gottlieb’s Torah curtain, Herbert Ferber’s exterior sculpture and Robert Motherwell’s lobby mural — make up the bulk of “Modern Art, Sacred Space,” which was organized by Karen Levitov, associate curator at the museum. The Ferber and Motherwell are on loan from Millburn; the museum owns the Gottlieb, because its textiles are too fragile for ritual use. (The synagogue now uses a reproduction.) The artists were chosen by Goodman, who had the trust of the congregation and its rabbi, Max Grunewald. In his search, the architect consulted the dealer Samuel Kootz, whose gallery on Madison Avenue was at the vanguard of American Abstract Expressionism. (He showed Gottlieb and Motherwell; Ferber exhibited with Betty Parsons). All three artists already had a mystical/spiritual dimension to their work. Ephemera on view at the museum give you an idea of how important the B’nai Israel project was to the New York art world. René d’Harnoncourt, the director of the Museum of Modern Art, spoke at the dedication ceremony. Publications, including Time magazine and The New York Herald Tribune, weighed in on the building and its art. Gottlieb’s Torah curtain is the largest of the three works, and the most striking. Made with crimson and amber velvet and metallic thread, it’s a smooth adaptation of the artist’s Jung-inspired “pictograph” paintings. Symbols, including the Lion of Judah and the Tree of Life, occupy their own rectangular compartments. The curtain is recognizable as Gottlieb’s, but it’s also a collaboration. The artist worked closely with the rabbi on the choice of symbols, and the final piece was sewn by the women of the congregation under the direction of Gottlieb’s wife, Esther. Motherwell’s lobby mural, “The Wall of the Temple,” was also a team effort. Though he wasn’t Jewish, Motherwell had studied with one of the great rabbis of art history, the Columbia professor Meyer Schapiro. Schapiro encouraged Motherwell to switch his concentration from philosophy to painting, and continued to mentor him as he became a successful artist. When consulted on the Congregation B’nai Israel project, Schapiro gave Motherwell a long reading list and advised him to visit the Jewish Museum. He also encouraged him to use representational imagery (something Motherwell rarely did in his painting), despite the biblical prohibition of “graven” images. Motherwell also used Surrealist ideas about automatic drawing and the unconscious to facilitate his artistic “conversion.” He tried to surround himself with Jewish iconography, so that images that emerged during his drawing sessions, he told a reporter from The Herald Tribune, “had a tendency to be Jewish.” You can’t fault him for trying. He made more than 15 studies for the mural, moving abstracted versions of Jacob’s ladder, the tablets of Moses and other symbols into various positions. The finished project has some of the hallmarks of gestural abstraction — loose brushwork, rough outlines — but it looks far from spontaneous, and not all that much like a Motherwell. Ferber isn’t as well known today as Motherwell or Gottlieb, but he was successful enough to have been included in MoMA’s “Fifteen Americans” show of 1952. (The dedication of B’nai Israel was delayed by several months so that his sculpture for the synagogue could be seen at the museum.) He was also a multitasker, a working dentist who maintained a practice throughout his art career and published articles in scientific journals. In his 12-foot-high relief sculpture, “And the bush was not consumed ...,” spiky “flames” of lead-coated copper leap out from the wall. Unlike Gottlieb’s curtain or Motherwell’s mural, Ferber’s piece comes across as aggressive and even threatening. The rabbi, who had suggested the subject of the Burning Bush, was initially taken aback by the work’s appearance; drivers on Millburn Avenue, where the Ferber was installed on the synagogue’s facade, were reportedly distracted. Photographs by Hans Namuth, Ad Reinhardt and others of Ferber and his assistants making the sculpture reinforce the work’s Abstract Expressionist bravado. In one, Ferber leans over the piece, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking very much like Jackson Pollock in Namuth’s famous film. Congregation B’nai Israel isn’t the only example of a place of worship for which Modern art has been made. Matisse’s chapel in Vence, France, also from around 1950, comes to mind. So does the remarkable stained-glass window that Gerhard Richter created just a few years ago for the Cologne Cathedral. Neither artist could be called a practicing Roman Catholic. Their works, nevertheless, embrace and enhance spirituality. The same can be said of Motherwell, Ferber and Gottlieb, who had varied attitudes toward religion but an unshakable belief in the power of abstract art.

Mion Footwear - We Hardly Knew Ye

Monday, 14 April 2008
Mion Footwear

Timberland has just announced that after Spring 2008, they will be discontinuing their GoLite and Mion Footwear lines.

Timberland is working to refocus back to their core products so GoLite and Mion brands got the boot (sorry about that). According to Lindsey Hayes, vice president of global sales for Timberland, "We began evaluating our various brands and both GoLite and Mion stood out as too complex and were diverting our focus from our core business."

For those who don't know, Mion has been making fantastic footwear for paddlers who aren't interested in Crocs but still looking for water shoes that dry really fast.

The other thing that I liked about Mion footwear was their commitment to the environment. They worked really hard to make their manufacturing process as environmental as possible through carbon offsetting and solar power in their distribution centres.

Also, they just made really cool looking shoes.

So here is the pitch, I have two sweet pairs (slightly loved) shoes that I would sadly part with for $200 each. $200 each you say!? Well, they are collector items now...

Restoration of antique pool tables and repair of pool tables for commercial and residential insurance purposes

Restoration of antique pool tables, and repair of damaged billiard and snooker tables for home and commercial insurance purposes. Since 1975 Palason has been reparing, rebuilding, and restoring antique pool tables and refurbishing pool tables for insurance purposes after home or commercial fires and disasters.

At our workshop, the individual parts of the antique pool table are stripped of their worn, damaged and darkened lacquer, and then sanded carefully to preserve the intricate wood inlays. Our skilled wood craftsmen and paint specialists prepare the table to receive its new finish

3 )
Once the antique pool table has been refinished and the new rubber cushions have been installed on the rails, the installation technicians take the pool table to its new home for assembly. Each piece is unwrapped and the table is reassembled and levelled in order to place the slate on the frame. The level is checked again, and the cloth is then placed on the table to provide a new play surface. This antique pool table is now ready for many more decades or centuries of family fun.

Restauration de table de billard antique et réparation après sinistre - Image 5

The family that acquired this pool table decided to upcycle, reuse and repurpose an an antique versus buying a new table in order to minimize the processing of new fresh woods. For environmental purposes and for a green approach to their build, they took something old and made it new again. We thank them for trusting Palason for their project.

An antique pool table 's test of time - A family heirloom sees a whole
new life, restored for its new home

Purchasing a pool table can often provide many dilemmas, when it comes to choosing the quality, style, size, materials of construction, price range and many other possible options. With so many choices of manufacturers, brands and models on the market today, the possibilities are endless. However, one element of certainty that becomes timeless and offers more flexibility for decades to come, is selecting a table that’s made of a solid wood, coupled with a good structural integrity. This formula may often bring the buyer unforeseen advantages aside the obvious resale value retention and sturdiness of a quality durable construction.

The following story is a prime example of solid wood craftsmanship withstanding the test of time to provide decades (and who knows perhaps even a century or more) of game room fun for several generations of this one family. If you plan on eventually leaving your pool table to your children as a family heirloom, you may want to buy a more timeless quality built game room furniture piece, as opposed to a typical department store veneer or melamine covered pool table.

Palason was recently contracted to restore a local Montreal customer’s antique Brunswick billiard table. The customers’ mom was passing it down as a gift for her daughter’s and son-in-law’s new home. The table
was to be restored with a different finish in order to blend with the new home décor and to give it a fresh look.

After some investigation by the Palason team, it was discovered that this particular table has an interesting Canadian historical background. This table design originated from the Samuel May company, Canada’s largest billiard manufacturer based in Toronto Ontario at the time. The company was later purchased by the Brunswick company in 1910, but a handful of Samuel May designs remained in production for the next decade or so, until the factory was sold again.

As it turn’s out, this Brunswick table was purchased from St-Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church of Montreal, Quebec on Iberville street in 1982. The client’s mother had purchased it with her now ex-husband. It was moved to their home by Palason Billiards, and then serviced for cloth changes throughout its years of enjoyment. It remained in that particular home until September 2015. The table was then taken apart, piece-by-piece, stripped of it’s old darkened and damaged lacquer. It was entirely sanded, and a new lighter stain and finish were applied to enhance the tables’ intricate and beautiful elaborate inlays. In it’s previous condition, the unique looking quarter-sawn oak wood grain and detailed inlays
were barely visible.

  1. Hi all, I haven't posted on here in years but me & Kiwi are still doing well. Nice to see so many familiar names still on the site. Anyway, I'm pregnant with my 1st baby & am due in 2 months. I wonder if there's anything we can do to make Kiwi (4yr old male vos ekkie) accept his new baby brother as one of the family? Kiwi's really tame now, but the only person he bites is my young brother, John. This is because John is so obviously afraid of Kiwi, so I think Kiwi likes to keep John in his place & remind him who's boss. He doesn't dare do it with anyone who's confident around him. I guess what I'm really asking is what can we do to make Kiwi realise he's lower in the pecking order than the new baby? But at the same time I don't want to neglect Kiwi & make him resent the baby. My God! So many things to consider lol!
  2. Georgie, caique is pronounced ca-eek. Although having said that I have been made to feel stupid with 2 breeders of them when I have said this. Most people just pronounce it "cake". Me having OCD, I have to pronounce things the correct way always!! :roll:
  3. Why thank you very much! :wink:
  4. Kiwi's ok! ...and so am I! lol When you hold him up to the light you can see he has scratched the membrane in his eye but it doesn't seem to be bothering him anymore. Dave's dad took him to the vet (the one 40mins away), vet said it's nothing to worry about, gave him some drops, said he's in beautiful condition & said we should have just rang up & spoke to them rather than travel all that way! I bloody well did!! :x So I feel like a good caring mam again knowing that he's in "beautiful condition"!!
  5. lmao, yeah they will!! :oops:
  6. Dave's dad's gonna take him up to the avian vet tomorrow for us. Neither of us could get out of work. You're right Steve I probably am more stressed. I must have sounded like the worst parrot parent on the phone to the vet. I was saying "I can't come tonight I'm picking up my new car", "I can't bring him in the morning, I'm at work", "How much will it cost to keep him in overnight?", "Could I not just take him to my local vet?". God I'm cringing with shame! Poor Kiwi, what chance does he have with a mammy like me?! :roll:
  7. He's not off his food & is still his usual self. I was just thinking that surely it doesn't need a specialist avian vet to look at his eye & prescribe some ointment or something. Why do these things always happen at the most awkward time? Someone crashed into me 2 wks ago & my car's a write off. I've got a hire car & am supposed to be picking up new car tonight but garage have made a string of errors & I've got an uncle's funeral on thursday too. It's not poor Kiwi's fault but I could just cry because I dunno what to do!
  8. When I gave Kiwi his shower yesterday he started scratching his eye. Anyway he was still scratching it last night & trying to keep it closed. I tried rinsing it with cold water but it doesn't seem to have helped. I'm thinking maybe he got something in it. I thought if he slept on it it would be better in the morning, but it was just the same today. I've rang his vet & they can't see him til tomorrow but want him to stay overnight as it's about 40 mins away from here (1hr in rush hour) & I can't get there in the morning. (I also don't like the idea of him staying there overnight :cry: ) I just don't know what to do. Do you think it's worth just taking him to a normal local vet? Please help. I've had the most stressful 2 weeks & this is just something else that I'm worrying myself sick about!
  9. Haha Jem, have you been weighing them?!!!!!
  10. I dunno what this says about me Jem, but I've thought that before myself...
  11. lol stephie, we would just do it to your face! :wink: I agree with mmm, it doesn't matter that they have a private forum on that site, if it wasn't there they'd just be talking on msn, etc. I email & msn certain members on here privately, there's nothing wrong in that is there?
  12. Yeah Kiwi always does this when he's resting or sleeping. But hey, doesn't the fluffing up thing mean she's in lurrrrve.. :?: :!: Me thinks someone's getting their kicks from their mammy's kisses...
  13. No prob Ashantay, I hope he's feeling better soon!

  1. Hi all , just got DNA results back.....Ive got 2 girlies ! ( greys ) Thats a bit weird as i have 2 totally different birds . One is much bigger than the other and i was sure i had a pair. Never mind Zak will now be zakarina and charlie... well just plain old charlie . jan
  2. Hi all , Im also just setting up with an aviary for love birds . I have 2 greys which ive had for about 2yrs now , only just sent away for DNA test but not ready to put them together even if they are a pair..... they may hate each others guts LOL . Ive been given 5 love birds to start me of and will be on the lookout for any others in the Linc's region that need rehomeing . I have been reading all posts and have picked up some really good advice. Thanks to all for that ! jan
  3. As with all rescued animals and the amount of rescue homes i feel there are to many already wanting homes for whatever reason so i would say no, choose a bird/dog/cat from a rescue home and give it the life it deserves. We all choose to have pets and as the saying goes a pet is for life not just for the owner who once gets bored with it passes it over to the next person .

With Democrats taking control of the House in January, what is the outlook for progress on climate change?

"Being realistic, it may be tough for legislation to be approved by this administration, but there are many acts to building a legislative agenda,” said Congressman Paul Tonko (D-NY), who is likely to become chairman of the Environment Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

“We'll be looking into an agenda that would advance efficiency, grid modernization, and maybe rolling it into a larger infrastructure bill that addresses both improving resilience for adaptation and investing in our infrastructure with issues like [electric vehicle] charging deployment," he told POLITICO.

We can expect the full Energy and Commerce Committee to tackle this central challenge, too. Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ) is probably going to serve as chairman and said, if so, he'll examine the impacts of climate change on communities and the economy.

Come January, the House Science Committee no longer will be run by Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX), who publicly questioned the integrity of federal climate scientists and routinely questioned whether humans are contributing to climate change. He often spoke of what he considered the benefits of carbon dioxide emissions.  Smith’s likely successor is a rather different Texan, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, who released a statement promising to restore “the credibility of the Science Committee as a place where science is respected and recognized as a crucial input to good policymaking.”

On top of those switches, there are expectations that the Select Committee on Global Warming, which the Republicans abolished when they took control of the House in January 2011, will be brought back to life. That panel was not authorized to advance its own bills, but it used dozens of hearings to evaluate advancements in renewable power and the consequences of climate change.

In addition, there will be more oversight of EPA, Interior, and other government agencies, making it more difficult for the Trump administration to undo regulations that were put in place to fight climate change.

The GOP casualties of the midterm election included at least 14 members of the bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus. Eight others are retiring, so the 43-Republican roster has been cut in half. The most notable loss was Caucus Co-chairman Carlos Curbelo (R-FL).

Executive Director Mark Reynolds of the Citizens' Climate Lobby, which helped create and promote the caucus, issued a post-election statement insisting that "reports of the death of the Climate Solutions Caucus are greatly exaggerated… We’re confident other Republicans will step up to lead, and the existing and potential members are invested in continuing bipartisan work on climate.”

Florida Congressman Francis Rooney, a caucus member who was reelected, said, "I definitely want to see it continue. The ...caucus has brought some Republicans into the discussion of sea-level rise and climate change. It's healthy to have more people involved in that discussion."

Rooney told The Washington Post that he believes there would be bipartisan support for adaptation to sea-level rise. "There may be debate about long-term climate cycles and manmade CO2 and all that," he said. "But I don't know how you get around the fact that they've measured the change in the level of the seas."

Though the caucus has been criticized for failure to score any significant legislative points and has been mocked by some as primarily a “greenwashing” vehicle, its existence is crucial for depoliticizing the climate issue, according to Bob Inglis. The former Republican congressman from South Carolina now runs republicEn, a group seeking free-market solutions to climate change. "The thing to keep in mind is in order for climate action to be durable it has to be bipartisan," Inglis said in a Post interview.

Last summer Curbelo introduced a carbon tax bill, which was cosponsored by Rooney and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), a caucus member who barely survived a Democratic challenge last week. Rooney wants to reintroduce a version of that bill. "I'd like to see a way to roll it out with a little more fanfare and a little more media support," he told a Washington Post reporter.

The ice is finally melting. Not the Arctic ice, although that might be melting too. I mean the frozen position critics of the global warming hysterics have been taking. They disagree with Obama’s contention that the science of climate change is settled, and prefer reading actual temperatures recorded on thermometers to print-outs of assumption-ridden models. I am no fan of complex models, having watched the best and brightest model builders mis-measure risk before the recent financial upheaval, and more recently noticed that they failed to come close to predicting the 60% fall in oil prices. Against the certitude of those who believe the globe is warming and that human activity is the cause, we should set Bjorn Lomborg’s observation that temperatures in the past 15 years have risen 0.09 degrees Fahrenheit, 90% less than an average of all models predicted. So the planet might not be warming. And yet, and yet . . . I might be wrong, suggesting a bit of prudential action that is anyhow indicated by requirements other than a desire to keep cool.

The important point is that it is a long leap from climate-change skepticism -- I won’t use the inapt and offensive phrase “denial” -- to opposition to putting a price on, taxing if you prefer, carbon emissions. As we approach possible changes in our arcane tax structure, ask the wrong question, and you get a useless answer. For makers of fiscal policy, the wrong question is, “Is the planet warming?” The right question: “In formulating future tax policy, does it matter whether the earth is warming?” The answer is “no”. At least not when we are working to reform a sub-optimal tax structure.

Cold, hot or just right, we should be aiming for a tax structure that puts a greater burden on consumption than on work and risk-taking, thereby stimulating economic growth; reduces the burden of taxation on lower-income and middle-income tax payers by generating revenues that can reduce regressive payroll taxes without adding to our deficit or raising gasoline prices more than perhaps 18 cents per gallon, a figure well within the range of past fluctuations; makes it possible to dial back some of the subsidies and what have come to be called “loopholes” built into the current structure by leveling the playing field on which renewables and conservation compete with fossil fuels, making continued subsidies both uneconomic and unfair; and enables us to reduce the burden of regulation, especially on the energy sector, by internalizing externalities, making consumers of fossil fuels bear the full costs of their consumption, and allowing tax-inclusive prices to guide consumers’ decisions rather than tax-eating regulators.

That would seem to be a program with which politicians of all stripes, and ideologues of all sorts can agree. If you think the globe is warming, continue to think it, and focus on the fact that a carbon tax will have all of the benefits listed above, plus cutting carbon emissions; if you think it isn’t, retain your skepticism, and focus on the fact that these fiscal-policy advantages can be achieved by taxing, pricing if you prefer, carbon emissions, using free choices of consumers and producers to generate revenue to replace less efficient sources. Price carbon to save the planet if that pleases you; price carbon to permit growth-enhancing reforms to our tax code if that pleases you; price carbon both to save the planet and to reform the tax structure, if that is your pleasure. But price it.

Perhaps a realization of the tax-reform potential of a revenue-neutral carbon tax accounts for the melting of the ice in which conservative opponents to such a tax have so long been entombed. Now it is the turn of liberals to sign on in the interests of increasing the take-home pay of lower-paid workers, and having revenues available to ease the burdens on those families that have been the collateral damage of globalization.

Welding fume protection

Welding Fume – Changes to HSE Control Expectations

The Workplace Heath Expert Committee has endorsed the reclassification of mild steel welding fumes as a human carcinogen. Consequently, the HSE has strengthened its enforcement expectation for all welding fume, including mild steel welding and welding outdoors.

What does this mean for businesses?

General ventilation is no longer sufficient and changes are required with immediate effect. Previously welding fume extraction was not needed for outdoor welding or for short tasks such as tacking or minor repairs, however this is now no longer the case.

All businesses should ensure effective engineering controls are provided and correctly used to control fume arising from welding activities of any duration, including mild steel welding.

All exposure to any welding fume must be adequately controlled. Risk assessments should reflect the change to the expected control measures, and welders need to be suitably instructed and trained in the use of the controls. Where engineering control alone cannot control exposure, respiratory protection must be provided, for example in the form of a powered air respiratory system or a mask.

PAPR XR940A Welding Respiratory Protection
XR940A PAPR Welding Fume Respiratory Protection
Parweld’s XR940A Powered Air Purifying Respiratory System is ideal for situations where exposure risk still remains after other controls have been put in place, or for short-term or infrequent exposure such as outdoor welding.

It’s portable, compact and slim design offers comfortable, reliable protection, complete with a large view true colour welding helmet. Clever automatic control systems combined with three types of warning alarms ensure a safe, constant airflow for the operator.

Designed with the user in mind, the system features a simple one button control and clear user interface. The long life battery and the filter can be changed quickly and easily by hand.  A contoured outer surface help to prevent snagging on other objects. Additional shoulder straps reduce the leverage effect that can cause PAPRs to feel heavy and unwieldy. Importantly, the operator can sit or lie down without obstruction to airflow.

“Regardless of duration, HSE will no longer accept any welding undertaken without any suitable exposure control measures in place, as there is no known level of safe exposure”

Wakanda? -- Thanks, But No Thanks

            The apocalypse dawned for me in the summer of 1967.

             I was living on Detroit’s East Side when all hell broke loose. The angry white men sitting on their porches with shotguns on their laps blamed it in on the “niggers,” and promised to shoot first and ask questions later if the riots spilled into our neighborhood. It was terrifying. Race mattered, suddenly.

            Michael Eric Dyson was living in Detroit then, too.  He was nine in 1968, when Martin Luther King, Jr., was gunned down in Atlanta. Detroit again careened into violence. Dyson writes of learning to understand his blackness at about this time. “[W]hiteness,” he writes, in “What Truth Sounds Like,” “loomed as an unknowable force.” King’s death made him feel vulnerable, “the whiteness that had been shapeless lunged forward suddenly…. I was frightened for months.”

            Dyson’s overcome his fear with a sense of black triumphalism. Candidly, I find his belief that America’s “redemption would come through black moral genius” about as unnerving as I did the presence of armed paratroopers patrolling our neighborhood in those smoldering July nights of 1967.

            “What Truth Sounds Like” is a meditation on Robert F. Kennedy’s meeting with James Baldwin and other Black intellectuals and entertainment leaders  -- Kenneth Clark, Harry Belafonte, Lena Horne were among the other attendees -- in the spring of 1963. Kennedy was trying to understand the color line.  Things didn’t go well. Kennedy just couldn’t get it; the conversation is unfinished, Dyson contends.

            Dyson doesn’t advance the discussion; he announces its over. Shut up and listen, white America. The truth has arrived.

            Dyson cites with approval a debate between Baldwin and William F. Buckley , the founder of the National Review, at Cambridge University in 1965.  “I picked the cotton and I carried it to market and I built the railroads under someone else’s whip,” Baldwin said.  Of course, the claim is nonsense. Baldwin was born in 1924, long after slavery had been abolished and the railroads had been built.

            Had Buckely been on his toes, his response would have been. “Oh, well, I was scratching the earth in search of potatoes, starving. What do we have in common?” Buckley’s parents came into the United States in 1874 from Canada, after either they or their forebears left Ireland years earlier.

            (Play along: Where were you in 1850? I was in Crete, most likely a peasant working someone else’s land, or perhaps a clerk in a French shop. My father came to the United States sometime in the 1930s from Crete, an illegal immigrant who snuck into the country from Windsor, Ontario. Shortly thereafter, he met my mother, the daughter of a French Canadian drunk who came here with a thick French accent. Where were you?)

            What Baldwin did was choose to recast his identity in terms of a history he had to learn, choosing what served to advance his interests. It’s a form of race pandering that Dyson transforms into giddy triumphalism.

            “What Truth Sounds Like” was a holiday gift, something to help me sort out my dark suspicions about identity politics. Sadly, the book failed to do anything other than confirm my hunch that identity, a social construct, is the face we present to the world when we ask for our due. Black triumphalism announces “our time has come.” What’s that mean for the rest of us?  We’re in the last gasps of the old, and presumably white world – the old guard is dying, you see.

            As a certifiable member of the old guard, forgive me for saying: “not so fast.”

            You didn’t pick my cotton. You didn’t build my railroad. You didn’t pay my father’s freight when he sailed from Crete to the Canada. You don’t owe me respect on account of my race; I don’t owe you solicitude on account of yours. Integrity matters; race is the calling card presented when there’s not time enough to evaluate character.

            Dyson is downright giddy about race. Black “moral genius” will save the world. White folks need to listen, listen, listen to the likes of Dyson. “Whiteness continues to metastasize across the body politic like a cancer that only goes into remission, sporadically,…” My race is “an extravagant hoax.” White guilt is necessary. “[B]lackness brings greater humanity.” He cites with approval calls for reparations payments to people of color, a race-based tax that will require white guilt to pay for its sins by cash transfer payments to black innocence.

            By the time Dyson finishes his book he’s punch drunk. Reread Baldwin, go ahead, he exhorts. But first watch Black Panther. Watch it over and over again. It’s a place where blackness is destiny, in a place called “Wakanda.” (If you’ve not seen the movie, you’ve still heard reference to Wakanda in ads for products on television. “Wakanda,” the little black girl croons, and her parents beam with proud hopes.)

            “Wakanda is the place of our unapologetic blackness, a blackness that is beautiful and ugly, that is uplifting and destructive, that is peaceful and violent, that is, in a word, human in all its glory and grief, with no special pleading for its virtue, no excuses made for its wickedness, except that wickedness exists, and in its existence, we find it necessary to address it, to fight it, to remove it, but not to defend ourselves against the belief that it represents all black people,” he exclaims.

            Too prosaic?

            “Wakanda is necessary for us because our black lives are seen as anything but. Wakanda matters because black lives don’t.” He goes on and on in the book’s final chapter overcome by the beauty of it all.

            Wakanda is demographic destiny.

            I read Dyson and was all at once again a child in Detroit listening to radio reports about my city in flames. Would the fires reach my home? Would the angry white men shoot to kill the angry black men setting the city afire? I hear Wakanda, and I think of that Detroit.

            Michael Eric Dyson wants to talk about race. But his idea of the discussion is that I listen to what he has to say, accept my accidents of birth as a cancer, regard his as proof of prophetic destiny, and then move to Wakanda.

            I’m not making the trip, Mike.

            You lost me when Baldwin started talking about picking cotton and building railroads. If he did all that, then I did nothing that should matter to Baldwin– I was in Crete or France. What have we to talk about?

            Dyson’s a preacher with a Ph.D.  Surely he knows the New Testament. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. When the pot says to the potter, why makest me so, sin speaks. Reworking the world in our own image is the very definition of sin. Are white men sinners? I know it to be true from experience. Are black men sinners, I believe so. All are in need of grace. And grace will be found by transcending what divides us, and cleaving to something higher.

            Michael Eric Dyson is a race panderer. And Wakanda? Just another circle in Hell. But I will watch Black Panther; I hadn’t planned to – black superheroes seem about as silly as white ones. I outgrew all that about the time Detroit burst into flames. But Wakanda is a calling.

Teeth Whitening Kits For Home Use

Sweet smile

Professional dental treatment to whiten teeth can cost more than a thousand dollars. While professional teeth whitening can produce the best results, other options are also available. There are over-the-counter teeth whitening kits that can give great results but do not cost a fortune. You can whiten your teeth at home with these kits that come in the form of gels, strips, and trays. These whitening kits result in whiter teeth, but some work better than others.

Teeth Whitening Kits For Home Use

Teeth Whitening Trays

One type of kit for whitening teeth comes with a tray pre-filled with the whitening solution. All you have to do is place the trays on the top and bottom teeth for a specified amount of time. The whitening solution brightens and whitens teeth. Many consumers find this whitening kit to be very effective, although individuals with sensitive gag reflexes may find them uncomfortable.dfgdfgdfgdfg

Teeth Whitening Strips

Whitening kits can come in the form of a strip. Whitening chemical is applied on the strips, and they are placed on the top and bottom teeth. Strips are more comfortable than trays, but they may not cover all areas of the teeth, such as the back teeth. They only white the areas that they touch and may not be able to whiten the areas between the teeth.

Teeth Whitening Gels

Some teeth whitening kits have tubes which contain white gel. The gel works well when it dries completely on the teeth. This might be difficult because of saliva in the mouth. Although it is the quickest and possibly the most effective teeth whitening kit, you have to make sure that you reach all areas of the teeth. Only the areas applied with gel will be whitened.dfgdgdfgdg

How do these kits compare with a professional whitening treatment such as laser treatment? Obviously, you can get more dramatic results with an expensive laser whitening procedure that can brighten teeth by 7 or 8 shades. Realistically, you should expect the best whitening kits to brighten teeth by about 2 or 3 shades. Some people have experienced an improvement of 5 shades, but this is the exception, not the rule.

Choosing a teeth whitening kit depends on personal preference. One type of kit may give better results for one person than for another. As long as you realize that a kit can brighten your teeth by no more than three levels, you will be happy with the results.…
