I Want To Be Honest, But Not Really
A lesson I learned early on as a young leader was this: "Be honest, but not really."
The truth is, I was naive. I hadn't learned the ropes yet. And I certainly didn't know all the written and unwritten rules.
So when my pastor, who was visibly thrilled about a ministry event that had just taken place asked me, "Wasn't that THE BEST EVER Brian?" I didn't know only one answer would be acceptable.
Stupid me. I actually thought he was asking for my opinion – so my logical brain immediately determined this event was NOT the best ever. I slowly attempted to answer the question honestly and tactfully. "It was really good. Maybe not THE BEST EVER, but I liked it. It was good…"
In my naivety, I wasn't prepared for his reaction. The look of visible excitement turned into disbelief, disgust, and anger. I was confused. He was acting as if I had just insulted his wife. My honest answer got me a lecture on the subject of bad attitudes.
This experience wasn't fun. I walked away feeling like an idiot.
And so I learned this lesson: "Be honest, but not really."
Now I'm paranoid, never sure if honesty will get me into trouble. I look for ways of giving safe, innocuous, non-answers. Honestly, I don't trust myself – I've thought it was safe to speak truthfully before, only to discover my friends or colleagues didn't really want that much truth.
I know there's much to be said about tact, diplomacy, and speaking the truth in love. These are all skills that I struggle with and need to grow in.
Although I've learned the unwritten rule, "Be honest, but not really," I still find myself being drawn to the unadorned truth. I like honesty without spin, and it scares me too.
Brennan Manning said, "There is a beautiful transparency to honest disciples who never wear a false face and do not pretend to be anything but who they are." I love this quote, and it also scares the hell out of me.
If I'm transparent, honest, never wear a false face, and do not pretend to be anything but who I am, people will see ME exposed. I don't know if I can handle the opinions and judgments and, here's the real issue, potential rejection.
Maybe I'm too afraid of rejection. Perhaps I care too much about what others think of me. It's possible that I spend far too much time creating my own spin, obsessing over image management to the point where the "public me" and the "real me" don't share any genetic code.
God has only ever seen the real me, and He loves me perfectly. That's pretty incredible.
I wish that was all I needed. But there are people in my world, so I must continue to wrestle with honesty and diplomacy, truth and love, being real and being tactful.
It's not as if we can only have one or the other. It's not truth or love. These things don't have to work against each other.
I do think the church community needs to become a safer place to lay down our masks and be transparent. We can learn a lot from Alcoholics Anonymous…
AA is not built on scapegoating, but rather on being honest and courageous about ones own struggles and brokenness. Those who attend do not find unity in hiding from their conflicts, but in bringing them to the full light of day in a place of grace and acceptance. —Peter Rollins
I'm not sure I have any real answers to my own internal wrestling match between honesty and image management. I am willing to take some risks though. I do want to lead the way by putting myself out there with greater transparency. As a leader in the church, I want to create an environment where people feel safe to be themselves – where spin isn't necessary, where grace and acceptance flow freely.
So I'm working on this. I'm trying to be more honest and vulnerable. I hope it helps, but I'm still nervous about the impressions and reactions. Just recently, I tweeted something honest:
I am a bundle of contradictions: grumpy yet full of hope, sinner & saint simultaneously, can't stand most pastors & I am one.
What do you think? Is it helpful or do I need another lecture on bad attitudes?
This is part 2 of 3 posts this week. Come back tomorrow for "The Honesty And B.S. Graph." Also, check out yesterday's post, "Honest People Scare Me (And I'm Starting To Like It)"
Have you wrestled with wanting to be honest, but not really? Have you taken hits for being "too honest?" I'd love to hear your stories…
15 Comments to I Want To Be Honest, But Not Really
Nice segway from the Welcome Home series.. Thinking this "truth" hits home to many of us- Thanks for keeping it real. Have a good day!
Yeah, I can relate for sure. I've given my share of sheepish, half-truthed replies to people I didn't want to upset. Sometimes I have a bit of internal monologue before I answer—"Yes, that dress does make you look fat…But say something nice, smile, and leave it alone." I think Thumper from Bambi left me messed up from childhood with the timeless, "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all." Crap, my lack of honesty has been dictated by a fictitious, cartoon rabbit. I'm not sure what to think anymore.
Speaking in cliches is so much easier yet not very genuine.
I try my best not to, but sometimes it's just too tempting.
I'm looking forward to creating a culture where speaking the truth in love is not just taught but practiced regularly.
Yes, I relate to this. There have been times I want to share what I really think but usually that desire is followed by thoughts of:
-what if this causes more hurt than help?
-what if I get yelled at/corrected for being honest?
-what if what I say causes people to tell me what they really think of me…do I want that?
-what if being honest leaves me on the outside looking in?
-what if people stop liking me?
-what if what I say causes me to look dumb?
There's something in all of us that wants to be transparent..to share what we really think and believe…but overcoming the obstacles detours our honesty into being shallow and fake. Being "yes" men/women seems easier than confrontation. Saying what people want to hear is less messy than what people need to hear. And the scary thing about this is…this honesty goes both ways…which terrifies me.
I've always been told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it all."
How do we do this while being honest and real? Is it possible? If so, how is it done?
Carefully…very careully. =)
Good stuff pb! Can't wait for tomorrows post.
Well, in one respect I feel like I'm being chased by a broom–but not totally in a bad way. I was raised in a home where one opinion ruled, and all others were wrong and invalid. To disagree or be honest brought on unpleasant lectures, correction and sometimes punishment. Even at an age I'd rather not admit, these big shadows of disapproval loom out of the closet when there's a call for "how I feel about something". It is always easier to keep my thoughts to myself, put-up-and-shut-up. Fear of rejection is the biggest hurdle I have to overcome when weighing an "honest answer". And there's always the question if the other person really wants an honest answer, or looking for affirmation. Or maybe I just think it over too much. I think it boils down to a daily (sometimes minute-by-minute) dependence on God, Holy Spirit guidance, soft heart and willingness to repent when we screw up. I kind of think that's where He wants us to be anyway.
It's when I've been faithful, given it my all, and felt like I've had everything invested – that's when it stings the worst. When I feel disappointed in myself or God, or when I've felt like crawling into a corner with a blanket, that's when HE finds me! He seeks me out, just like you found Ashah. He embraces as to say, 'I'm here, It's okay, I love you, you got this, I got you.'
I've held onto a tidbit from a sermon from a while back – hurting people help heal people (or something like that). We relate. God is right there with us, He understands pain, sorrow, and loss and yet He is the almighty healer – amazing .
Sometimes I just have to say the things which I think need to be said. Not because I am always objective and correct and everyone is entitled to my opinion (lol!) but because I am a person with a mind and a mouth like everyone else, and I have things on my heart to share, and discuss throughout my journey. Some people have applauded me for doing this, other people looked really confused, some disagreed, some felt empowered to say how they really felt in response. In any scenario, it has turned out good, bad, and ambiguously. Sometimes Ive gotten a big mouthful of my own foot, and had to take a long walk to let my ego air out. Haha. Oh well…
Regardless of what happens though, I think it is important for all of us to be honest about who we are, and what we experience and think. I'd rather feel like a fool for saying something stupid, than feel like a slave to a system which says I have no right to be real, or have an imperfect opinion.
I know huh! It's very burdensome.
Sorry, follow up on that last sentence… I didn't quite word it the way I was thinking it….
I'm looking for something more like, "It's ok with me that I might be considered a fool for expressing myself with authenticity. It seems better to feel judged for what I am, than to feel enslaved by a system which says there is no Need for me to be real, and nothing to be Learned from an imperfect opinion."
Yeah, that's a little more like it.
In my opinion it is a lack of honesty and authenticity in our world today that has kept many of us if not all bound in some way. Including at times the church. I read a book many years ago and in it, it stated that "feelings and emotions are neither right or wrong….they just are and they are real". But in order to be able to express them openly and freely an atmosphere of safety must be achieved first. The lack of self honesty in society is in relation to the lack of safe environments in which to express them. Heck there are some people that have a hard time being honest in their marriage because it's not safe…..lol
That is more than likely why in AA they set the foundation of safety first so surrender is easy. A surrendered life requires honesty. I often wonder about all the people in the bible that approached Jesus for a miracle and what their position on honesty and authenticity was in those moments. It would seem to me that each was willing to take the mask off as to say here I am this is me this is the truth of who I am, what I have done, what I am dealing with and what I am going through. So getting to Jesus required mask removal in that moment. When Jesus spoke the truth was He brutally honest at times? Yes. Did the truth hurt sometimes? Yes. Did the truth set many free? Yes. But, He was skillful at it. He created an environment of safety first so people felt at ease to approach Him.
He did this by:
1. Establishing relations by hanging out with them (sinners)
2. He did not judge or condemn (His opinion of their condition)
3. He healed them all (met their need)
4. And when He saw them He had compassion (His behavior toward them)
5. Feed them (cared for them)
I am sure there are more that I have missed but the point is He created an environment of safety through action where honesty and taking off the mask was not only OK but in some ways you could say was a required risk in order to approach and ask Him for something.
I am somewhat convinced that people that take issue with honest people are at times reacting negatively because the honest person is projecting to them their worst fear and that is if you take off the mask then that means I will have to take off mine and I don't want to reveal what is hidden so I am adverse to honesty and authenticity because it forces my hand to be played and for me to put my cards on the table. So keep your mask on so I can keep mine on.
Honesty is restorative when the environment of safety is present. The girl in the office felt she was in a safe place, free of judgement and fully accepted that allowed her to share and reveal her condition with honesty, authenticity and sincerity. Can honesty be brutal? absolutely but if you have the skill of Jesus telling the truth won't bother you nor will it be a problem when in the context of love and grace in a safe place. I can only imagine what the early church must have looked like as they practiced "confessing their sins one to another so that they may be healed". Maybe the world would come running to the church if they could see that that is who we really are. Just a thought.

Swedish pop singer/songwriter Tove Lo sat down to chat with us at Lollapalooza 2017 right before her day four set. Revealing how she plans to get ready for her Lolla set, Tove Lo says "breathing some steam, doing my vocal exercises...and dance around with my band!"
Tove Lo released her "Fairy Dust" short film last October, which served as a visual first chapter of her album Lady Wood. Back in June Tove Lo told Fuse a second chapter, "Fire Fade," was coming. This weekend at Lolla she gave us new details about what to expect when "Fire Fade" drops at the end of August!
"It's probably the most physically exhausting and challenging thing I've ever done." Think of the spinning room set from *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" video, "but way more intense," Tove says, giggling.
The singer also filled us in on her next album, Lady Wood (Phase Two), saying it will be out "later this year" and will be "a bit more all over the place, in a good way." Watch our full interview above, including Tove remembering being "starstruck" by Wiz Khalifa when she worked with him on their collab "Influence."
Don't miss all of Fuse's Lollapalooza 2017 coverage and interviews, and below watch a throwback Tove Lo interview with us at Bonnaroo 2015 where she talks about her style inspirations, festival style and more:

Glass drilling machines can be classified by their structural arrangement as horizontal and vertical drilling machines based on the position of processed glass sheets.
In the category of horizontal glass drilling machines, there are machines with one or two drilling heads. Single-head machines can be simple, manually operated, easy-to-carry hand-held, on site operated, fixed on glass sheet with vacuum pads type glass drilling machines, or floor standing machines that are non-portable and have a top drilling head. Two-head machines are non-portable, fixed workshop machines that ensure perfect holes with double-sided glass drilling.
In the case of vertical drilling machines the one-sided head version is pretty rare, and almost all of these machines are double-sided. These machines are more space-efficient than the horizontal versions, and there is no need to tilt glass sheets into horizontal position thanks to their vertical arrangement. They can be manual machines or NC, CNC controlled and the latest models can perform glass milling.

My youngest brother has been reading "healthy eating†books, and was telling me that wild animals don't get cancer. He wasn't content with my correction and wanted some evidence. Fair enough. Looking around online, I found a few references and was reminded of the Laetrile nonsense.
Laetrile was a quack cancer cure popular in the 70's. The tout was that sharks don't get cancer, and that taking pills made from ground up shark cartilage would cure cancer. This paragraph give a summary of the Laetrile cure fad:
Crude shark cartilage extract is not a cure for cancer in humans
Promotion of cartilage extracts from sharks has had two negative outcomes: a decline in shark populations, and a diversion of patients from effective cancer treatment. The argument has been that sharks don't get cancer. However, both malignant and benign neoplasms of sharks and their relatives were described by Gary Ostrander and associates at Johns Hopkins University (Maryland), Penn State College of Medicine, and Registry of Tumors in Lower Animals (Virginia). So far there is no evidence to support the use of crude cartilage nor any cartilage extract to reach and eradicate cancer cells. The authors see the use of shark cartilage extracts as another example of pseudoscience used in decision making where the facts are not considered. (Cancer Research 64: 8485-8491, 2004)
The reference to the Registry of Tumors in Lower Animals sounds intriguing so I looked it up. The collection is searchable online after registering, and I've included a link. The Registry includes many cases of cancer in wild animals.
Looking around a bit more, I find someone else has considerately done a search of the literature, and posted abstracts. I've includes them below (lost track of the original source). These reports come from journals indexed by Pubmed which indexes biomedical journals, so papers in ecological or field biology journals would be missed. As you can see, there are many reports describing cancer in wild animals. The list is long, but skimming shows that tumors in wild animals have been observed many times.
Next up, I'll look into the notion you've gotten that microwaving your food makes it dangerous to eat.

Wild animal tumours have not been much studied yet. Authors found six
mostly benign cases in Czech Republic in checking hunts between the years
1988 and 1993: Mature differentiated ovarian teratoma and apocrine skin
adenoma in field hare, intraductal mammary papillomatosis in a roe,
complex odontoma and pleomorphic mammary carcinoma (single malignancy in
the group) in fox. A soft tissue tumour in a fallow-buck's neck could not
be histogenetically classified. A high structural equivalence of animal
and human tumours allows using ICD-O classification as a whole.

Spontaneous gastric carcinoid tumors in the striped field mouse (Apodemus
Oh SW, Chae C, Jang D.
Department of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Seoul
National University, Suwon, Kyounggi-Do, Republic of Korea.
Gastric carcinoid tumors were found in seven of 135 striped field mice
(Apodemus agrarius) by routine histopathologic examination. All these
carcinoids occurred in mature striped field mice aged 72-100 weeks. Six
animals were females and only one was male. Only two of seven tumors were
detectable by gross examination. Grossly, tumors were located in the
fundus of the glandular stomach. All seven tumors were microscopically
single in the stomach and two mice exhibited extragastric metastasis.
Tumors from all the mice were characterized by densely packed sheets of
round to polygonal cells, subdivided into packets by a fine fibrovascular
stroma. The cytoplasm of all tumor cells from all the mice contained
argyrophil granules when stained by Grimelius and Sevier-Munger silver
procedures. All seven mice with gastric carcinoids exhibited positive
immunoreactivity to neuron specific enolase. Psammoma bodies,
concentrically laminated microcalcification, were characteristic findings
in gastric carcinoids from five mice. There were also a concomitant and
independent hepatocellular adenoma in one case and hepatocellular
carcinoma in two cases. The present cases provide the first description
of spontaneous gastric carcinoid tumors in the striped field mice.

Plasmacytoid leukemia of chinook salmon.
Kent ML, Eaton WD, Casey JW.
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo,
B.C., Canada.
Plasmacytoid leukemia is a common disease of seawater pen-reared chinook
salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in British Columbia, Canada, but has
also been detected in wild salmon, in freshwater-reared salmon in United
States, and in salmon from netpens in Chile. The disease can be
transmitted under laboratory conditions, and is associated with a
retrovirus, the salmon leukemia virus. However, the proliferating
plasmablasts are often infected with the microsporean Enterocytozoon
salmonis, which may be an important co-factor in the disease.

Diagnostic findings are presented on 139 sick or dead wild turkeys
examined during the period 1972 through 1984. Turkeys originated from
eight southeastern states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia) and included 31 turkeys
categorized as capture-related mortalities and 108 turkeys categorized as
natural mortalities. Frequent diagnoses (greater than or equal to 10% of
case accessions) in the natural mortality group were trauma, avian pox,
and histomoniasis. Less frequent diagnoses (less than or equal to 4% of
case accessions) included malnutrition/environmental stress syndrome,
coligranuloma-like condition, crop impaction, bumblefoot, organophosphate
toxicosis, infectious sinusitis, a lympho-proliferative disease,
salmonellosis, aspergillosis, toxoplasmosis, crop trichomoniasis, and

Natural killer cell activity in a population of leukemia-prone wild mice
(Mus musculus).
Scott JL, Pal BK, Rasheed S, Gardner MB.
Natural cell-mediated cytotoxicity against YAC-I targets was measured in
splenocytes from leukemia-prone wild mice trapped near Lake Casitas (LC)
in southern California. Cytotoxicity was mediated by cells that were
non-adherent to nylon wool, non-phagocytic and resistant to thy-1.2
antiserum plus complement. Natural MuLV viremia in LC mice did not impair
splenic cytotoxicity against TAC-I target cells, Cells infected with
amphotropic and ecotropic MuLV of wild mouse origin were not appreciably
lysed by LC splenic effectors. Although variable levels of cytotoxicity
were detected against TAC-1 by normal spleen cells, consistently low
levels of cytotoxicity against allogenic LC lymphoma, sarcoma and
carcinoma targets were found using the same splenocytes. These results
indicate that LC mice possess splenocytes with the characteristics of
natural killer (NK) cells as defined in inbred mice. The resistance of
LC-derived targets to lysis by LC NK cells suggests that NK cells may not
be involved in natural tumor immunosurveillance or that the development
of spontaneous tumors may involve escape from NK-mediated effector

Gynecologic pathology in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta). II. Findings in
laboratory and free-ranging monkeys.
DiGiacomo RF.
The most prevalent findings in reproductive tracts of 38 laboratory and
17 free-ranging Rhesus female monkeys were vaginitis, cervicitis,
metritis, pelvic endometriosis and uterine adenomyosis. Several monkeys
had cervical dysplasia and one had a serous cystadenoma. The findings in
the two groups were similar although prevalence for several diseases
differed. There was a significant relationship between the occurrence of
vaginitis, metritis, adenomyosis and endometriosis and gravidity, time
since last pregnancy, number of matings, hysterotomies, reproductive
ability and reproductive status.

Relating tumor score to hematology in green turtles with
fibropapillomatosis in Hawaii.
Work TM, Balazs GH.
U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resource Division, National Wildlife
Health Center, Honolulu Field Station, Hawaii 96850, USA.
The relationship between hematologic status and severity of tumor
affliction in green turtles (Chelonia mydas) with fibropapillomatosis
(FP) was examined. During 1 wk periods in July 1997 and July 1998, we
bled 108 free-ranging green turtles from Pala'au (Molokai, Hawaii, USA)
where FP is endemic. Blood was analyzed for hematocrit, estimated total
solids, total white blood cell (WBC) count and differential WBC count.
Each turtle was assigned a subjective tumor score ranging from 0 (no
visible external tumors) to 3 (heavily tumored) that indicated the
severity of FP. There was a progressive increase in monocytes and a
decrease in all other hematologic parameters except heterophils and total
numbers of white blood cells as tumor score increased. These data
indicate that tumor score can relate to physiologic status of green
turtles afflicted with FP, and that tumor score is a useful field monitor
of severity of FP in this species.

Descriptive epidemiology of roe deer mortality in Sweden.
Aguirre AA, Brojer C, Morner T.
Department of Wildlife, The National Veterinary Institute, Uppsala, Sweden.
A retrospective epidemiologic study was conducted to examine causes of
mortality of 985 wild roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) submitted to the
National Veterinary Institute (SVA; Uppsala, Sweden) from January 1986 to
December 1995. Age, sex, body condition, and geographic distribution as
related to disease conditions are reported herein. The most common causes
of mortality in roe deer were trauma (19%), winter starvation (18%),
gastritis/enteritis (15%), bacterial infections (11%), parasitic
infection (11%), systemic diseases (11%), neoplasia (2%), congenital
disorders (1%), and miscellaneous causes (6%). Cause of death was not
determined in 6% of the cases. The distribution of causes of death
reported in this study differ from previous works in Sweden in that
infectious and parasitic diseases were more common than winter
starvation. The pathologic findings in studies like this do not
necessarily represent what is occurring in the natural environment, but
they do provide a good indication of distribution of diseases over time
as well as age and sex structure in relation to disease conditions.
Further research and more detailed studies are in progress to better
understand specific mortality factors as well as etiologies of certain
described diseases in roe deer in Sweden.

Herpesvirus-associated papillomas in koi carp (Cyprinus carpio).
Calle PP, McNamara T, Kress Y.
Wildlife Health Sciences, Wildlife Conservation Society, Bronx, New York
From January through November 1994, 32% (7/22) of koi carp (Cyprinus
carpio) maintained in indoor aquariums developed proliferative cutaneous
lesions that consisted of single to multiple 2-10-mm whitish to pink
fleshy masses usually associated with fin rays. Although scaleless koi
were more commonly affected (3/6) than were normally scaled koi (4/16),
the difference in incidence rates was not significant (chi2 text, P >
0.05). Lesions typically resolved spontaneously in 1-3 wk, occasionally
persisted for >3 mo, and recurred in several fish after 2-5 mo. Fish were
otherwise asymptomatic. Wet mount preparations from lesions were densely
cellular and consisted of hyperplastic epidermal cells of normal
morphology without parasites or inflammatory cells. Histologically,
biopsies were consistent with papillomas and were characterized by a
marked benign epidermal hyperplasia without inclusion bodies or
inflammatory infiltrate. Transmission electron microscopic examination
revealed intranuclear and intracytoplasmic herpesvirus virions. Virus
isolation attempts were unsuccessful.

Adenocarcinoma of the mammary gland in a red fox from Austria.
Janovsky M, Steineck T.
Research Institute of Wildlife Ecology, University of Veterinary Medicine,
Vienna, Austria.
A mammary gland adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in an adult red fox (Vulpes
vulpes) which was shot in Austria in August 1995. Metastases were found
in the kidneys and liver. This is the first reported case of an
adenocarcinoma in a fox, and lack of mammary gland carcinoma in this
species may be age related.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Emerging-markets stocks and bonds have posted stunning returns this year, but foreign investors' access may be limited and more expensive as some governments impose taxes, restrictions and even outright bans on transactions to curb speculative activity.
The surging value of emerging-market currencies is the root of the problem. Government controls are designed to regulate, discourage or halt capital flows in an effort to counteract investments that can undermine a country's exchange rate or foreign-exchange reserves.
Brazil, China and Taiwan, for instance, have already put capital controls in place while officials in several other countries have hinted at similar moves.
Investors in countries with capital controls are finding it more costly to own shares. For example, in response to one of the two taxes Brazil recently levied on trading activity, Vanguard Group Inc. doubled the purchase fee for its emerging-markets mutual funds, including Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund
"As long as emerging markets rally, the more countries will succumb" to imposing limits, said Win Thin, senior currency strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman.
Investor interest in emerging markets remains strong, he added. "But if they start really punishing foreign investors, [investors] are going to think twice. It's very easy to lose market confidence and very difficult to get it back."
Commands and controls
Citigroup this week downgraded Colombia's equity market to neutral from overweight, saying that after meeting with the country's central bank, it has the "impression that capital controls could once again be imposed" to curb the appreciation of the Colombian peso. The peso is up about 14% against the U.S. dollar so far this year.
In China, the foreign exchange regulator tightened rules on cross-border money transfers by individuals, bolstering efforts to quell inflows of funds on speculation the yuan is undervalued. Read about China's new rule on money transfers.
Brazil, whose currency has jumped 35% so far this year, recently slapped a 2% tax on foreign purchases of Brazilian stocks and bonds. It also levied a 1.5% tax on purchases of U.S.-listed shares of Brazilian companies, which include heavyweights Petroleo Brasileiro
There are also "rumblings" from Russia, Thin said. The ruble is up about 28% as its economy remains in recession but is flashing signs of recovery.
The appreciation in the currencies and securities markets have been fueled by bets that emerging markets, particularly commodity-rich countries, will pace global economic recovery.
"It's cheap to fund in dollars right now and investors are looking for opportunities to put that money to work," said Norberto Zaeit, head of treasuries and trading at Espirito Santo Investments in New York. "They see emerging markets, especially those that have done a good job lately on monetary policy, on fiscal discipline, and curbing inflation," as good places to invest, he said.
But as values climb, governments become concerned that such activity will eventually hurt their economies, in large part by making their exports more expensive.
Also, "there's concern that sudden [currency] appreciation might increase imports, which damages current accounts," Zaeit said.
Even countries whose currencies haven't posted double-digit gains are taking action. Taiwanese officials earlier this month banned foreign investors from putting money in a certain type of deposit account. The New Taiwan Dollar is up about 8% since hitting a five-year low in February, but is just up 2% for the year. Read more about Taiwan's restriction.
Kazakhstan, whose currency has declined 19% against the greenback, has said it may impose a tax on short-term foreign investments.
Investors in emerging-market stock and bond funds will be the most affected by capital controls, particularly if they take the form of Brazil's 2% tax, said Bradley Kay, an analyst covering exchange-traded funds at investment researcher Morningstar Inc.
"That's generally going to cause larger bid/ask spreads, especially if you're talking about creation in new shares. That's something which you're going to need a bigger incentive to overcome the tax to buy in," said Kay.
The implementation of capital controls won't particularly affect fees for ETFs because there's no entry fee, Kay said. Investors pay a commission and trading firms, major investment banks and brokerages take those out of the premiums when they are creating new shares.
For example, iShares MSCI Brazil Index
Brazil funds during the week of Nov. 6 saw their first outflows in eight weeks, but then booked inflows the following week, according to EPFR Global, a provider of international fund flow data. Brazil funds had absorbed $3.39 billion this year through October.
Brazil's Bovespa equity index has shot up 79% in local currency terms and almost doubled in U.S. dollar terms since the end of last year.
Investors seeking an ETF alternative to Vanguard's Emerging Markets Stocks Index Fund can buy its Emerging Markets Stock ETF
Meanwhile, Colombia's IGBC General equity index has nearly doubled this year. Capital controls, if imposed, would hurt the market "as it effectively raises the required rate of return, or hurdle rate, for most foreign investors," wrote Geoffrey Dennis, global emerging markets strategist at Citigroup, in a note to clients following a research trip to Colombia, Chile and Peru.
Impact on investors
In his report, Dennis reminded investors that it wouldn't be the first time that Colombia has imposed capital controls. All foreign inflows between May 2007 and September 2008 were subjected to a 0% interest, six-month deposit requirement at the central bank.
Brazil, in March of last year, issued a 1.5% tax on fixed-income inflows to cool the real's surge. That tax was later dropped as the global financial crisis deepened.
Levying taxes is just one of many tools to implement capital controls, said Alfredo Coutino, director of Latin American research at Moody's Economy.com. Governments can also establish savings funds of sovereign wealth funds to keep companies from bringing back U.S. dollars, for example, into their respective countries.
The worst capital controls that foreign investors can face, Coutino said, "is tax on capital, because that represents a punishment of foreign investors by the government."
In contrast, he added, "The most acceptable measure is that the central bank accumulates more reserves. You can go to the country, you can put your dollars in the country."
Espirito Santo's Zaeit said periods of negative investor reaction will likely occur in the short-run in the wake of Brazil's taxation efforts. But from the standpoint of a medium- to long-term investor, "the 2% tax is not going to hurt as much," considering the growth prospects for Latin America's largest economy.
Investors should keep tabs on emerging markets that impose capital controls, paying close attention to the rules imposed and how long the restrictions might last, said Bill Rocco, a senior fund analyst at Morningstar. He added: "The devil is in the details."

LONDON (Reuters) - Profits at British utility Centrica CNA.L slumped 35% last year, hit by a government price cap on some energy bills and the impact of lower natural gas prices on its production business, sending its shares down as much as 17% on Thursday.
The company, whose British Gas unit is Britain's largest energy supplier, said adjusted operating profit fell to 901 million pounds from 1.39 billion pounds in 2018.
"2019 operating profit and earnings were materially impacted by a challenging environment, most significantly the implementation of the UK default tariff cap and falling natural gas prices," said chief executive Iain Conn in a statement.
"Looking to 2020, we expect to deliver earnings momentum relative to 2019 from our core customer divisions, but upstream (production) earnings are likely to be impacted by the lower commodity price environment."
Centrica shares traded as low as 69.84 pence, their weakest since mid-October.
The company said it expected 1.6-1.8 billion pounds of adjusted operating cash flow this year, down from 1.83 billion in 2019, due to low energy prices.
A cap on electricity and gas bills came into effect in January 2019 and was a flagship policy of former British Prime Minister Theresa May to end what she called "rip-off" prices.
Last week, energy regulator Ofgem reduced the cap from April 1 as wholesale prices had fallen between August 2019 and January 2020. Wholesale gas prices are around their lowest since 2009 due to oversupply and high storage levels.
"We are in a very over-supplied situation. Front-end (prices) will stay weak through this year. If it does so, we expect earnings to be broadly balanced," Conn said on a media call.
"Clearly if (wholesale) prices go back up, the upstream profit would go up and we get the value of our hedges back as we sell the gas to our customers."
Centrica said extended outages at two British nuclear power plants due to operational issues last year had also been a factor in the lower operating profit.
Nuclear generation volumes were down 14% to 10.2 terawatt hours in 2019 compared with 2018, due to outages at EDF Energy's Dungeness B and Hunterston B nuclear power stations.
Centrica has a 20% stake in Britain's nuclear fleet but has said it wants to sell that by the end of 2020.
"We can't be certain we will sell the whole thing this year. We may have to sell our interest in two tranches and may not get both of them away this year," Conn said.
Centrica's total customer accounts, which includes energy supply, home services and solutions in Britain, Ireland and North America, grew by 3%, or 722,000, last year.
UK home energy supply customer accounts fell by 286,000, although the rate of loss was less than 2018, even amid high price competition and customer switching, Centrica said.

Shadia El Dardiry
Although the Agency Worker Regulations 2010 (the Regulations) have been in force for almost a decade, there have been surprisingly few cases dealing with the enforceability of the rights they have introduced and how liability and compensation will be apportioned and awarded where these have been breached.
The recent case of London Underground Limited v Adelaide Amissah and others has made clear not only how powerful a tool the Regulations can be for agency workers looking to assert their rights, but also how costly a breach of these can be for businesses.
After 12 weeks of continuous employment in the same role, an agency worker assigned to a business is entitled to "the same basic working and employment conditions" as they would have been had they been directly recruited by the business. In practice this will often mean a salary increase for the agency worker at the 12-week mark.
One exemption to this right is where the agency worker has a permanent contract of employment with the temporary work agency and is therefore paid between assignments by the agency (called the "Swedish derogation"). This is what Trainpeople.co.uk believed applied to the agency workers it began supplying to London Underground Ltd (LUL) in October 2011. A few months later, LUL took it upon itself to re-visit the question and (correctly) concluded that the exemption didn't apply.
The parties consequently agreed that the agency workers were entitled to equalised rates, however:
Proceedings were first initiated by the agency workers against both parties in September 2012 but by the time any substantive hearing occurred trainpeople.co.uk had gone into involuntary liquidation, leaving LUL as the only respondent.
The Court of Appeal ruled that LUL and the agency were both equally liable for the breach that had occurred. This is neither controversial nor surprising – while the agency was the one who incorrectly believed the Swedish derogation applied, LUL contributed to the breach by failing to promptly provide the required information to the agency once the error had been discovered.
What is controversial, however, is the Court's decision that LUL would have to pay the agency workers its share of the compensation to which they were entitled (50%), even though it had already made payments to trainpeople.co.uk in respect of the under-payment they were seeking to recover.
In explaining its decision, the Court highlighted that the Regulations required compensation to be determined having regards to what was "just and equitable". Although it had sympathy for LUL, which would have to effectively pay twice, it was not in the circumstances just and equitable to leave the agency workers without any compensation, particularly when there had been no misconduct on their part.
Although the Swedish derogation principle will no longer apply as of April 2020, the Court's decision in the London Underground Ltd v Amissah is an important one for several reasons.
It has confirmed not only how courts will proceed to apportion liability, but also how they should approach the question of what is "just and equitable" when deciding compensation. It is clear that at the heart of this question is the agency worker whose rights have been breached, and that ensuring a just and equitable outcome for the agency worker will take priority – even if this results in a potentially unjust outcome for one of the jointly liable parties.
The decision – the first of its kind – has also confirmed that agency workers can rely on the Regulations directly to claim compensation where there has been a breach of the right to equal terms and conditions. The rights conferred are substantive and there is no need to make a separate claim for unlawful deduction of wages in order to secure compensation – something which LUL unsuccessfully attempted to argue.
Finally, in the context of complex agency working arrangements where responsibility is shared between two (and sometimes more) parties, the decision highlights just how important it is for businesses who recruit agency workers:
Otherwise, they might find themselves paying for their mistakes – twice.

Study No1 : South Africa
The first study takes a close look at the South African Wine Industry. As part of a four-edition series of studies on the global wine industry, this will showcase the sector's touchpoints across nations and countries' environmental performance in wine.
The first study in the series takes an in-depth look at South Africa and the growing importance of the wine industry nationally for the country. Over the autumn, we are looking forward to progressively publishing further national studies on wine. These studies form part of our continuous monitoring of the wine industry globally and will be part of a range of living documents we will continue to publish and update on the topic. A sneak peek of our analysis can be found below:
South African wine traditions date back to 1659, when the country's very first vintages were produced in Cape Town. Today, South Africa is the ninth-largest wine producing market globally. The country's agricultural area in terms of grape cultivation is around 93,021 hectares (930km2), with an even balance of red (44.8%) and white varieties (55.2%) grown across these vineyards.
While the wine industry in South Africa is one of the world's most famous and successful, it faces challenges. A good deal of these are threatened by current supply of resources such as water, as well as their subsequent misuse. Specifically, water shortages pose considerable challenges to the sustainability of the South African Wine industry, with dam levels at 21.5% capacity. Once water levels fall below 15% in the country, this water is unusable due to pollution. Similarly, the water that remains is at risk of contamination from wastewater sources produced from the winemaking process, causing infections or disease in humans.

Really good insightful advice. Super helpful in trying to find the right thing for the job. Very refreshing to find customer service that is not a sales pitch. I don't think I'll be going to any other outdoor shop again. Highly recommended.
Came here as a total beginner. Walked away with excellent quality gear for first trek I've done as an adult. I could really see the point of the suggestions once I talked to other campers on the trip. Everything was explained clearly and at length, and my budget taken into consideration. Highly recommend this independent outdoors shop!

The ProForm 480LE is out of manufacture. We suggest you to consider the Exerpeutic 1000XL Magnetic Elliptical Trainer, instead. It is a more quality machine, sold at similar price.
ProForm 480LE Elliptical Machine Review
The ProForm elliptical 480LE features iFit workout card technology and a music port compatibile with most of MP3 devices including iPod. It is designed with the innovative SpaceSaver technology with large, oversized non-slip pedals and 18" length stride. The console features blue-backlit display, AutoBreeze workout fan, odometer, EKG™ heart rate monitor and more.
Where to ProForm ellipticals at Best Price
You can buy ProForm elliptical machines in almost all mass department stores. The best prices and buying conditions you'll get if order online from Amazon and Hayneedle. However, we do not recommend ProForm elliptical machines. Their quality was always quationable. Rather get one of the more respected and longer-lasting elliptical machines that will be worth the money invested, such as: Horizon Fitness or Sole Fitness.

3 was initially something that we ourselves wanted to have on our shelf in the office. A collection that consists of samples of all the batches of teas that we are producing during season number three. So when we are older and wiser we could look back to see, taste and compare what we came up within 2020.
As we got a bit too excited with the idea, we thought that hey maybe our Renegade community also wants a few of these? So, instead of making this cool set just for ourselves, 12 collections of season three will also go for sale. With this collection you can walk through the whole Renegade season together with us :)
So why are those different batches special? Making tea is affected by many different factors - outside temperature, air humidity, pure luck sometimes. And as we do not blend our teas, it is almost impossible to achieve the exact same outcome with each tea making. Every batch is a little unique and has it's own characteristics even when using the same recipes. For example, in 2019 the Smooth Jazz came in 10 different batches and we made all together 34 different teas that were made in 164 batches.
The samples of each batch will come in 6g packages, which will mean:
- 2-3 cups per sample
- the total amount of tea around 900g (as we can't predict how many batches there will be exactly, then this can vary +- 100 grams)
- around 300-450 cups of tea
The set of teas will be sent out at the end of the season, just before Christmas. Shipping is for free.
NB! Only 12 collections available!

Kempinski Hotels says it has signed a deal to manage the 100-year-old Hotel Palace in the center of Portorož. The goal is to make the property, which will retain its historic center and boast a newly built section when it reopens in early October, the leading luxury hotel in Slovenia.
Portorož has long been known as a natural-spa destination and the Hotel Palace has hosted the VIPs who have visited the resort since 1910. History has it that when it opened, the Hotel Palace was, together with Hotel Excelsior in Venice, acclaimed as one of the most beautiful and biggest hotels on the Adriatic Coast. It has been declared a cultural monument, yet closed in 1990. It's been undergoing a total refurbishment since 2003 under the care of its owner, Istrabenz Hoteli Portorož. Its historic ballroom and Presidential Suite have also been restored.

From Team Bigfoot:
In observance of the tragic death of his brother John Mello, the cyclist killed by an errant driver last Sunday on Highway 101 North of Trinidad, Arcata auto mechanic Joe Mello built a metal cross and erected it at the site of his sibling's death. "Whenever something like this happens the cycling community will put out one of those ghost bike (a bicycle painted white) at the scene," Mello said, "But I wanted to make a stronger statement."
To make that statement Mello constructed a ten foot tall steel cross, painted it white and decorated with bicycle sprockets. "That ought to get people's attention!" he said. A metal bracket was also fashioned onto the cross where a plaque will be mounted, reading, John Mello, Lived To Ride. "And that's the truth about John," Joe said, "John was a quiet and sort of serious kind of guy who was happiest when he was on his bike." Evidence of that assessment is on the cross in the form of a laminated photograph of a smiling John Mello aboard his beloved Calfee bicycle. That very bicycle is also part of the memorial; Joe attached the broken and bent remains of John's bike permanently to the cross. "There's been a lot of back and forth since Sunday; people saying a lot of things about cyclists and safety. But the truth is, John was riding legally and in a way that should have been safe. Is it too much to ask that drivers have enough skill and concern to not steer over the fog line? I want people to see exactly what happens when someone doesn't pay attention to the very serious job of driving."

Finding, Motivating and Retaining Your Best Construction People
Finding great Construction talent is hard. Keeping them empowered, engaged and retaining them even harder.
I called it the perfect storm. 2008-2010 many long tenured successful construction men and women hung up their hammers and went home. At the very same time, the colleges and technical schools were at an all time low in enrollment into their Construction Management degreed programs. The kids were told that the jobs just weren't going to be there upon graduation. Fast forward six years and we now have a significant talent shortage.
Today, construction is busy and almost everyone needs more talent. After twenty years of running an Executive Search firm focused on Construction, it is by far the most challenging time to find great people at a somewhat reasonable price. A two-pronged approach (talent planning and retention strategies) is needed to not only solve this issue for today, but moving into the future as well.
Let's discuss one approach, retention. Having spent twenty plus years as a student of people, several things stand out. To retain top performers or top potential people, you must keep them motivated, engaged and show them how they can direct their future within your organization. You also must hire people who culturally fit and share your core values or they simply won't work out to begin with.
Let start with bad hires and how to avoid them. We've all done it – hired the fast talking, smart Project Manager/Superintendent who is an amazing interviewer. He or she promises all the right things. You check their references (or not) and it confirms their technical skills are sharp. But what about values?
Values are driven into an organization from the top leadership down. They not only tell us who will integrate into our company, but it also directs what is acceptable behavior on a daily basis. For example, if you value people who take calculated risks or are entrepreneurial and self-directed, hiring someone who needs constant attention and hand holding doesn't work past the first onboarding stage. Another example is a firm that values someone who doesn't punch a clock but gets the job done as needed (we call those half days 6:00am-6:00pm). They struggle with most Millennials who are ready to run out the door the minute they see the clock hand strike 5:00 because they focus on work-life balance!
As a solution to this challenge, we have been working with our clients on values alignment and career-pathing. Values alignment is done with the senior leadership team and is an exercise where the leaders must force rank values – all without talking!! Its some of the most rewarding work we do, because out of it comes alignment not only on the common core values, but we discuss how those values behave within the organization everyday. We also use this arsenal of information for interviewing (if the candidate's share many core values the likelihood of success is high). Ultimately we work with Supervisors to not only conduct performance reviews against the technical part of the job, but how the individual behaved against the values. From this we developed a scoring system which allows people to be identified a High Potential or High Performing.
Once identified, we focus energies with this group on Innovation Summits. High Potential employees are given critical thinking and problem solving exercises to develop stronger leadership skills. High Performers work on strategy and innovation. Not only are these filled with new ideas for leadership, but the employees are empowered and energized around new projects.
Career-pathing is another solution for retention. It's an exercise where the employee leads the performance review and ultimately set their own career-path. Goals are agreed upon and now it becomes the employee who "owns" the successful completion. No more micromanaging – they simply know what needs to be done to be promoted or receive the raise they would like. But the onus is on them…not the Manager or Supervisor. Employees certainly have reported feeling very empowered by this process.
Finally we recommend a stakeholder analysis against your strategic plan. The question you are looking to answer is, "do we have the team members in place to ensure we will accomplish our must do-can't fail goals for the year?" You can build a pro-active talent plan instead of reactionary hiring when in panic mode.
So in conclusion, it still is going to be hard to find and keep talent. But reality is, when a Headhunter calls and offers them a promotion – they now are armed in the knowledge that the same opportunity exists where they are and you seek their opinion. We have increased retention numbers that prove this process works.

Today more malpractice suits are being filed than ever before. Not only are more suits being filed but the amount of settlements and verdicts has significantly increased. Perhaps one of the primary reasons for this phenomenon is the consumerists movements. Obviously, the more consumer groups advocate consumer protection, and the more that juries render favorable verdicts, the better educated and aware of verdicts the consumer becomes. The result of this is that people become more litigation conscious. In Virginia, medical malpractice litigation appears to be just beginning to flourish in relation to other large urban areas in the North and Far West. Notwithstanding this, malpractice litigation in Virginia is increasing rapidly. For example over the past twenty years the number of medical malpractice claims in Virginia has increased from approximately 47 in 1955 to 272 so far in 1975, which represents an increase of almost 600%. Concurrently, the average cost of concluding a medical malpractice claim has increased from approximately $4,900 in 1969, to $10,600 in 1974, representing over a 100% increase in the past five years.

text: Jefa Marine produces a wide range of standard rudder blades for boats from 22 to 75 feet length. This unique product line offers the boat builder a modern rudder blade without investing in expensive molds. The rudders are made in our modern GRP factory and are available in many sizes depending on the boat size. What makes the Jefa rudder blades unique and distinct from all other rudder blade producers and yard made rudder blades is the production in solid aluminium molds. This unique production method allows very high pressures to be used in the gluing and foaming process and results in an extremely precise end shape. Traditional glass fiber molds don't allow any pressure from inside the blade, so one can't be sure of a good bonding of both sides and the final shape of the rudder.

Aortic Aneurysm with Complex Endovascular Repair
Stefanie Mangold, MD; Carlo N. De Cecco, MD; U. Joseph Schoepf, MD
Division of Cardiovascular Imaging, Department of Radiology and Radiological Science, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, SC, USA | 23-11-2015
A 66-year-old male patient, with a known history of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, had undergone multiple aneurysm repairs. Four months ago, a further aneurysm repair was performed on a contained rupture of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), which was secondary to a large endoleak following complex branched helical endovascular aneurysm repair. The patient was referred for a follow-up CT angiography (CTA) of the entire aorta. At admission, he was asymptomatic with a normal body mass index (22.1 kg/m2) and normal blood pressure (133/69 mmHg).

what is scala.js?
Hi all,
I want to confirm what I think.
Is scala.js can make server-side (Any example?) and client-side (based on node.js to generate javascript) scripts?
Actually I find more resource on client-side.
But on server-sider, it seems less. Whether scala.js having db connection framework? Or integrate with scala db connection? Or what is difference between scala.js and scala? is it similar to javascript and java??

Re: what is scala.js?
As far as I know, PHP+MySQL is server-side. JavaScript is client-side.
"A safer way to build robust
front-end web applications!"
So definalely for decorations, Or im missing something.
Re: what is scala.js?
Having a [L|W]AMP stack is getting vintage. It still works, but there are a lot more technologies available these days. So don't go shouting PHP+MySQL when you hear the term "server side".
@OP: Why not use Scala as a backend? You don't need scala.js for that. Give the Play Framework a go.

Re: what is scala.js?
As with any other web framework, you plug in the bits you need.
It does work best with Scala as the language. I got the impression that the Java side was a bit of an after thought when I worked on it.Please do not ask for code as refusal often offends.
** This space for rent **
Re: what is scala.js?
Maybe I´m half a year late. The main starting tutorial for Scala.js is this: Hands-on Scala.js. It´s also decribing client-server programming. Scala, like Java, is a JVM-language, but Scala.js compiles Scala into JavaScript instead. You can use almost all Scala-facilities, except the normal use of Java-libraries (it can´t translate those into JavaScript), and some things like reflection. So it's mostly but not only used for front-ends.
An client-server project will contain code for JS (client), code for the JVM (server, or (generated?) JS-servercode in node.js. I don´t have experience with this, but node.js is not needed for the client side as OP is suggesting), and shared code (JVM and JS). You can combine them in one project while developing (cross-compiling).
Bigger projects will use all kinds of libs (like jQuery or AngularJS on the client vs. DB- and other frameworks on the server), and shared code used on both sides.
But basically you can do without all this and make Java-applet-like applications for a website, programming in Scala, producing JavaScript.
And no, the relation Scala-Scala.js is in no way similar to the relation Java-JavaScript. Scala.js is pure scala, using a large subset of "scala.jvm".No bug ever had to calculate its fitnessfunction.

Minicraft 1/350th Deluxe RMS Titanic
9 Attachment(s)
Attachment 65688
Hi all. Normally just been posting in the Sci-fi area but had to re-visit this model. I had one of the original releases years ago and due to financial reasons let it go on ebay half finished.:mad: So here I am, a self confessed Titanic nutter about to be very happy with which will probably be a better end result than the first so all's good.
Getting in early on this thread though as I haven't received the model yet :wtf:or all the available photoetch and brass propellers that I ordered separately. I will be lighting this model as well.
So, in the mean time I got warmed up on this little number.
Wifey saw it at Aldi supermarket and thought I would like it for Fathers Day. I was quite surprised seeing my only real child is our cat but who can argue with a surprise present. :D
It's a 3D puzzle made of 397 pieces in 12 sheets of foam printed paper. (not really sure how else to describe it) The only brand name I can see is Charmland Culture Development Co Ltd. It measures 103cm L x 21cm H x 19cm W. Simply punch the pieces from the sheets and follow the printed numbers. Came with very basic instructions and is for ages 6+. (questionable):rolleyes:
Never really tried anything like this and really quite enjoyed it for something different.
Will be going over it again though to maybe remove or tidy up some of the protruding tabs and colour all the joins, creases and visible numbers. Probably going to glue some places as well that are a bit loose fitting as I won't be dismantling it like you would a jigsaw puzzle.
Not really a model as such but just thought I'd share and will post more pics when I've done the final details.

I reckon this style of manufacturing could be used to make sets/dioramas to use with our models. Would definitely buy BSG sets if they did them. Anyone out there hearing this that has the know how?
Please stay tuned for my build of the Minicraft Models version once it arrives. :hammer:
Thanks for looking.
Re: Minicraft 1/350th Deluxe RMS Titanic
That's just plain cool. You had fun (which is the number one aim of our hobby!) and it IS a model. It may not be styrene or resin, but who cares?
Mrs Cat may end up wanting one of those!
Re: Minicraft 1/350th Deluxe RMS Titanic
Thanks for that. And at a princely sum of only $10.00, bargain.:D

A minor heat wave is on its way this week in many parts of Spain. Temperatures of more than 10 degrees above normal for the season are expected.
In Madrid temperatures of 35 degrees are expected, in Seville and Cordoba 38-40 degrees. The heat wave is expected to start today and last until Friday, with its peak on Thursday afternoon.
It is above all the inner parts of Spain which are being affected. Along the coast it becomes considerably cooler with temperatures around 30 degrees. In northern Spain a storm with rain and thunderstorms is approaching making it much colder there. This storm front will also help to mitigate the heat in the central and southern Spain from the middle of next week. Sources: AccuWeather and eltiempo.es
What you should keep in mind when it gets scorching hot
When the temperature is rising rapidly, the body does manage to get used to it and it is especially important to be alert and be extra careful.
Pay particular attention to small children and the elderly. Children under five years and those over 65 are the most vulnerable as well as those who are overweight, ill or taking medications.
Stay as little as possible in the sun and use sun protection. Dress in bright and light clothes that cover most of the body – especially the head. Eat light foods that contain lots of fluids and minerals, such as fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water. Be restrictive with alcohol and coffee or avoid it altogether because it dries out the body. Pay particular attention to eyes, as the dry Sahara air can cause problems. Note if the urine is getting darker than usual or if you urinate less than usual – drink more water.
Avoid hard physical work or demanding sports, especially during the hottest time of day. Never leave anyone, neither man nor animals – in a parked car.
Heat stroke
Symptoms of heat stroke are mainly headaches and nausea, but can also be vomiting, visual disturbances, tremors, irritability and confusion. Heatstroke can be fatal, especially for children and seniors.
If you get heat stroke you need to get treatment as quickly as possible. You must immediately seek a cool place and get help to cool down the body, for example with a wet towel. You may also need to seek medical care where you will get a drip containing fluids and salts.

My furious roar could be heard all the way to China. Well that's what my wife sourly said, and as I looked at my slightly frightened children (who usually associate such anger with something they've done wrong …) I realised that this game was turning me into a monster. I couldn't remember being this frustrated since the old days of gaming when missing a jump meant certain death (even if the camera angle was at fault), or miss-timing pressing a button meant going back an hour of the game to do it over again and again…..
Just standing still can mean sudden death and a 5 min wait.
As can just walking, not thinking, not looking, not concentrating, rushing, not moving with your team etc. etc.
OK, it doesn't take you back an hour, but you can end up an hour ago, penniless and with nothing but a pea-shooter if you bodge up a couple of times in a row..
Easy? Hell even more recently go back and play CoD4 on Veterans. Trust me gaming is not getting easier, game makers are just making the "Normal" setting more friendly to the growing number of casual gamers. The hardcore gamers experience is as easy a cranking up the difficulty.
Normal single player modes may be getting easier or maybe were just getting better, but multiplayer against real people is about as challenging as it gets.
