Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which skeletal muscle tissue dies, releasing substances into the blood that cause kidney failure.
Rhabdomyolysis is usually caused by a specific event. This is most commonly injury, overexertion, infection, drug use, or the use of certain medications.
The condition is fairly rare, with roughly 26,000 new cases in the United States each year. In most cases, the first recommended line of treatment is giving fluids directly through the veins. Severe symptoms may require kidney dialysis and blood filtration.
When skeletal muscle tissues are damaged or die, their components are broken down. These components are then released into the bloodstream to be filtered and removed from the body.
Several of these components can lead to kidney damage, with the most common being the protein pigment myoglobin.
Myoglobin can block the complex tubing system of the kidney. If blockages become severe enough, kidney damage and failure can occur. Other cellular enzymes, especially creatine kinase (CK), also put stress on the kidney.
Damaged muscle tissues also retain body fluids. This can cause dehydration as well as reduce the flow of blood to the kidney, thereby increasing the risk of organ damage.
The complications associated with rhabdomyolysis depend on the severity of the case and on several individual factors. Minor cases may not cause any noticeable symptoms and might only be spotted with blood serum tests. Severe cases often cause severe muscle pain, however, and can be life-threatening.
Most cases of rhabdomyolysis are considered a part of crush syndrome, a condition that occurs as the result of traumatic skeletal muscle injury. But generally, anything that causes muscle injury, dehydration, or kidney injury increases a person's chances of developing the condition.
Many cases not caused by direct trauma are considered to be the result of several different factors.
Researchers are still exploring the full range of factors that may influence the risk of rhabdomyolysis. Currently, cases of rhabdomyolysis are classified as one of the following:
- acquired
- the result of external injury, infection, or substances
- inherited, caused by genetic conditions such as muscular myopathies
There are many causes and risk factors for rhabdomyolysis that are currently recognized. These include the following:
- crushing damage to skeletal muscle tissues
- not being able to move for a prolonged period of time
- overexertion of muscles
- heatstroke or overexertion in extreme environments
- hypothermia
- extensive burns that cause muscle damage
- hereditary muscle disorders known as metabolic myopathies
- dietary supplements or weight-loss supplements, especially those containing ephedra and creatine
- infections, in particular bacterial and viral infections that cause blood infections
- electrolyte disorders, especially those affecting potassium and calcium
- endocrine disorders, such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
- kidney disease or disorders
- heart attack or stroke, which can lead to muscle injury and not being able to move
- vascular or cardiac surgery, which often causes muscle damage and requires long periods of immobilization during and after it
- sickle cell anemia
- inflammatory muscle conditions
Another possible cause is exposure to toxins, such as excessive or long-term alcohol or drug use. This also includes exposure to environmental toxins, including reptile or insect venom, mold, and carbon monoxide.
Certain medications can also lead to rhabdomylosis. For example, the condition is estimated to arise in an estimated
Although mild cases may not cause symptoms, most people with rhabdomyolysis experience a common set of complaints. Most symptoms first appear within hours to days after the condition develops or a cause has occurred.
Common early symptoms of rhabdomyolysis include:
- muscle pain, often extremely painful aching and throbbing
- muscle weakness
- muscle swelling or inflammation
- dark-, cola-, or tea-colored urine
- general exhaustion or fatigue
- irregular heartbeat
- dizziness, light-headed, or feeling faint
- confusion or disorientation
- nausea or vomiting
Medical attention should be sought any time that symptoms of rhabdomylosis occur. Untreated cases can become serious and may cause life-threatening complications such as kidney failure.
Most physicians begin by reviewing patient medical history, considering factors including injury, overexertion, medication use, and other health conditions or symptoms.
To make a diagnosis, laboratory confirmation is normally required. This tends to involve detection of elevated CK levels in the blood and the presence of myoglobin in the urine.
In many instances, muscle biopsies are also carried out to confirm and assess muscle damage.
CK levels that are
Activity or physical exertion may raise CK levels temporarily. As a result, tests should be done after avoiding rigorous activity for roughly 7 days.
Genetic testing may also be performed in people with suspected cases of rhabdomyolysis, in order to check for the presence of inherited muscle conditions. Once additional conditions are confirmed, they can be treated, thereby reducing symptoms and the likelihood of the condition returning.
Treatment depends on the severity of the case, symptoms, and presence of additional health complications that may increase the risk of kidney damage. In severe cases, kidney damage can be irreversible without early treatment.
One treatment method is intravenous fluid therapy. Large volumes of water are often administered to the veins for long time in order to rehydrate the body and flush out any myoglobin.
Other treatment options for severe rhabdomyolysis include:
- urine alkalization
- dialysis
- filtration of the blood (in very severe cases)
The easiest way to prevent rhabdomyolysis is to avoid prolonged periods of immobilization, stay hydrated, and exercise within healthy limits.
Other common tips to help prevent the condition include:
- avoiding weight-loss, muscle gain, or performance-enhancing dietary supplements, especially those containing creatine, ephedrine, ephedra, or high levels of caffeine
- listening to one's body when exercising and not going beyond what feels comfortable or natural to do
- seeking training advice if attempting a major physical event (such as running a marathon)
- increasing workout intensity and frequency slowly
- treating conditions or complications that are considered to be risk factors
- seeking immediate medical attention as soon as symptoms occur or if the condition is suspected

Full Text: Yes
Provider: University of Nebraska - Lincoln
The Treaty of Fort Laramie with Sioux, etc., 1851 was an important transaction formed by the federal government with a number of prominent American Indian tribes of the Great Plains. Its creation and provisions were a demonstration of the growing need for less animosity among the tribes themselves, in part to yield increased security for an ever-growing flow of settlers into the western United States who traversed in the process the tribes' historical lands. However, over the years, a true version of the final transaction — reflecting intervention by the Senate after the original signing — has never been published. A proposed correct text is presented here.

The formal timber sector employs more than 13.2 million people. It also produces more than 5,000 types of wood-based products, and generates a gross value added of over $600 billion each year. But the timber sector's economic contribution is much larger-- the sector is mainly informal and its value remains largely unreported. Including the informal sector in GDP calculations could double the contribution of the timber sector and quadruple the number of related full-time jobs. In addition, the wood fuel industry creates jobs for tens of millions of households in the form of small-scale wood collection, charcoal production, transportation, and retail. The Sub-Saharan Africa charcoal sector alone employs an estimated 7 million people.
Forests Create Jobs and Wealth
Economic development, population growth and urbanization are increasing the demand for forest products, which is projected to grow dramatically in the coming decades. Demand for global industrial roundwood alone is predicted to quadruple by 2050. Natural forests will never meet these demands, nor should they—as this would severely limit their delivery of essential social and ecosystem services. At the same time, it is estimated that worldwide about two billion hectares of forest landscapes have been degraded or even lost. These could be restored through reforestation and tree planting.
The required funding for sustainable forest management is estimated to be between $70 billion and $160 billion per year globally (World Bank 2014). Mobilizing adequate financing for the forest sector remains a challenge. While private financing is promising, it is not yet distributed evenly across regions. In many developing countries it has yet to materialize.
The World Bank Group supports countries to sustainably manage natural forests, expand forest cover and develop sustainable forest industry value chains to create jobs and contribute to sustainable growth.
The Bank supports strengthening forest institutions' ability to manage forests by building national and local capacity, enhancing forest management practices, and investing in pest management and fire control. Building sound forest resource databases and robust monitoring systems are also areas of focus. Tapping into new information and communications technology solutions, the Bank also works to increase transparency and accountability of forest resource management.
The Bank aims to unlock the potential of small- and medium- forest enterprises (SMFEs) to generate wealth and jobs. SMFEs are the primary source of forest sector employment in most developing countries. They account for 80–90 % of formal and informal employment in all forest enterprises, and meet a large share of domestic timber demand. Organizing efficient and sustainable value chains, better linking products to markets, and supporting a good business environment are some steps to sustainably unlocking the economic potential of forests.
Another priority is helping countries overcome barriers that limit plantations so that they can meet the growing demand for forest products and services. Examples of such work include: Clarifying land tenure rights, improving smallholders' technical and financial knowledge, and providing access to market information. The Bank also supports public-private initiatives to establish, manage and harvest plantations and orchards on government-owned land.
The Bank Group contributes to building an attractive business climate for private investors while setting high standards for responsible investments. The Bank works with governments to define a regulatory framework that enables investors to conduct economically, socially and environmentally sound activities in the forest sector. The IFC encourages investments from responsible private operators, and ensures that they are economically viable, profitable and measurably "pro poor." MIGA can unlock potential investments by reducing risks associated with them.
The European Neighborhood and Partnership Instrument Forest Law Enforcement and Governance (ENPI-FLEG) Program, is an initiative funded by the EU and implemented by the Bank, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and World Wide Fund for Nature. It helps participating countries, including Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine, develop sustainable forest sector policies and plans. These plans identify forest sector reforms that attract investment in sustainable forest management and drive economic growth.
In Liberia, the World Bank, through the Program on Forests, co-financed a system that tracks timber from forests to the point of export through barcodes and data forms. That system helped secure more than $27 million in net tax revenue for the state in 2008–2012.
In Mexico, numerous forest communities have developed successful commercial community forestry enterprises around timber and non-timber products. Some of these are among the world's most advanced examples of commercial community forestry.
In Vietnam, a project to develop environmentally and economically sustainable smallholder tree plantations led 43,000 households to cultivate 76,500 hectares of previously non-forested land. 29,000 households received land use rights certification. Loans managed by a Vietnamese state-owned development bank were extended to more than 28,000 farmer households.
In Belarus, investment in better forest management practices is building capacity, increasing the efficient use of felling residues, and improving forest fire prevention, monitoring, detection, and suppression.

As the saga continues over revelations that the New York City Housing Authority lied about lead paint in thousands of apartments, tenants' complaints about longtime issues are pouring in. A Department of Investigations report revealed that over the past four years NYCHA failed to conduct lead paint safety inspections on 55,000 apartments. The agency also lied to the federal government about conducting the inspections.
Lead paint has harmful effects on health, according to experts. Children can suffer permanent adverse health effects, including brain development issues and nervous system issues. In adults, lead causes increased risk of high blood pressure and kidney damage.
Officials say that so far, four children have shown high levels of lead who were living in NYCHA apartments. More than 4,200 of NYCHA's lead-based apartments have children under the age of six.
In a televised interview, NYCHA Chair and CEO Shola Olatoye said in 2012, under a different NYCHA administration, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development told NYCHA to suspend annual inspections. Olatoye said the direction was misinterpreted.
"Inspections started again in 2014," Olatoye said. "I did not understand at that time that even the restarting of those inspections to get into apartments every two years still fell short of the federal and the local obligation."
She has since faced backlash and even calls for her to step down over the controversy. Olatoye said that she has no plans to leave.
"I am not planning to resign," she said. "I serve at the pleasure of the mayor and as long as he has confidence in the work and the plan that I'm toward, I will continue to work for the one in 14 New Yorkers who call [NYCHA] home."
Mayor Bill de Blasio weighed in on the situation this week, maintaining that he stands by Olatoye. Reports indicate that he knew about the lead paint issue for a year and a half.
"In retrospect, it would have been better to say, 'Hey, we also need to go back and correct that record,'" de Blasio said. "But actions speak louder than words. Thank God, no lasting health impact that we can find at this point."
Elected officials across the city have voiced their outrage over the DOI's findings. Public Advocate Letitia James is one of many who are calling for a change in leadership at NYCHA.
"It has become clear to me that it is time for sweeping operational changes, independent monitoring and transparency at the City's housing authority," she said in a statement. "Most importantly, it's time for new leadership and a fresh start at NYCHA. The circumstances surrounding the city's failure to conduct lead inspections and the false reporting that followed are simply unacceptable."
Brooklyn City Council Member Inez Barron and Assemblyman Charles Barron released a joint statement saying that "heads should roll" over the latest scandal.
"The fact that NYCHA did not have protocols to ensure that the inspection did in fact take place and that there was no mechanism to record such occurrence of inspections and to verify the accuracy of the reporting to HUD is totally unacceptable," they said. "The serious life-altering health hazards that are related to ingestion of lead include irreversible brain damage."
On Monday, the Bronx Public Housing Task Force—made up of Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark and City Council Members Ritchie Torres and Vanessa Gibson—issued a report, titled "Safe at Home?" outlining solutions to the numerous safety and quality of life issues currently facing New York City Housing Authority tenants.
"The findings of this report make it clear that NYCHA is in need of immediate reforms from the ground up," said Torres, chair of the Council's Committee on Public Housing. "The recommendations offered here can improve the quality of life for all residents and ensure that public safety is maintained at all developments."
In a letter to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, Diaz called on the state government to appoint a monitor to oversee NYCHA.

5 Things Every Writer Should Know About Rights
Most writers I know fall into 1 of 2 camps: people who are (overly) concerned that someone will steal their work, and innocents who don't take time to learn what rights they ought to be protecting.
So I'd like to outline the 5 things every writer should know about their rights (and, by extension, other people's rights).
1. Your work is protected under copyright as soon as you put it in tangible form.
Your work doesn't need to be published to be protected, and you do not have to display the copyright symbol on your manuscript to have it protected. (One of the reasons there is so much confusion surrounding this issue is that the law changed in the 1970s.)
Since your work is copyrighted from the moment you create it, the existence or validity of your copyright will not be affected if you don't register the work with the U.S. Copyright Office. (And, in fact, you can register the work after you find infringement and still be afforded all the protections as if you had registered it earlier.)
2. For shorter works (non-books), publications automatically acquire one-time rights unless specified otherwise in the contract.
The current law puts the burden on the publication to notify the author in writing if it wants to acquire any rights other than one-time rights (that is, the right to publish the work one time). The law also contains termination provisions that allow an author to regain rights she assigned to others, after a specific period.
3. Your work cannot accidentally fall into the public domain.
Any published or distributed material on which a copyright has expired is considered to be in the public domain—that is, available for use by any member of the general public without payment to, or permission from, the original author.
It used to be that your work might accidentally fall into the public domain if not protected under copyright or published with the copyright symbol. This is not the case any longer.
4. Selling various rights to your work doesn't affect your ownership of the copyright.
Various rights are all part of your copyright, but selling them in no way diminishes your ownership of the actual work. The only way you can give up copyright entirely is if you sign a contract or agreement that stipulates it is a "work for hire."
5. You can quote other people's work in your own work, without permission, as long as you abide by fair use guidelines.
The downside here is that there are no hard-and-fast rules as to what constitutes fair use of a copyrighted work.
The law says that four factors should be considered in determining if a use is fair:
- the purpose and character of the use (commercial vs. not-for-profit/educational)
- the nature of the copyrighted work
- the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the entire quoted work
- the effect of the use on the potential market for or value of the quoted work
Most publishers have their own fair-use guidelines that they ask their own authors to abide by. But, if you're picking up only a few hundred words from a full-length book, it's probably fair use. Always be extremely careful when quoting poetry or song lyrics—ANY use at all usually requires permission (and a fee).
For more authoritative info on this topic, I highly recommend signing up for an online educational session next week, with lawyer Amy Cook, who specializes in publishing law. You'll be able to ask questions live: Copyright and Contracts
Alternatively, you can read more from these authoritative sources:
- Stanford University Library has an extensive online FAQ on copyright and fair use (from NOLO)
- Also check the Citizen Media Law project for a primer
If you know of any good resources on copyright and fair use, please share them in the comments!

2016 Trends: Go from Blank to Beautiful with Fabric Wall Art
Just moved into a new apartment? Upgraded to a bigger house? Take a moment to congratulate yourself—moving is a big deal! Okay, now that you've patted yourself on the back, it's time to get down to business. After all, that blank wall space isn't going to decorate itself!
Fabric wall art, however, comes pretty close to that—it's faster than painting and covers a lot of space in a pinch. Plus it's pretty easy on the funds, so it's great if you're still reeling from moving expenses. And we're not talking about turning your home into a head shop here—there are as many different looks as there are fabric patterns, no matter whether your style of choice is boho or French rococo. To get you started, we've put together a sampling of some of the best ideas we've seen.
But first, a quick note on pattern mixing. If you get really into this project and want to pair seven different fabrics, by all means, let your designing imagination run wild! However, there are a couple of guidelines you can use to keep things from feeling too intense. First, make sure to match your whites—don't mix a pattern with ivory accents with one with cream, for instance. And consider color intensities—for example, pastel pink doesn't pair well with lime green. That being said, let's get started!
Canvas Panels
Fabric stapled around a piece of foam board or artist's canvas can fill up a wall in a way that's both graceful and quick. In fact, looking at this photo, we're thinking that it might make a creative bedboard too, as long as you nailed it down. Three is the magic number here—it adds a feeling of harmonious balance.
Not into the orderly museum look of a row of fabric panels? An asymmetrical pairing can take things up a notch on the edginess scale. This is a good option if you're in love with a single fabric.
Embroidery Hoops
Too hip to be square? Embroidery hoops easily lend a whimsical touch to your decor, especially in these fun patterns—which makes them perfect for a nursery or kid's room! We also love how these floral patterns give the beadboard background a vintage wallpaper feel.
As a Gallery Wall
We dig a good gallery wall—and fabric art is a great way to do it on the cheap (all those frames can add up!). The layering in this one is a new twist—one that absolutely works for this space.
As a Vertical Quilt
While a rewarding hobby, not all of us have time to spend hand-making a quilt. This idea—framed squares of complementary fabric—lets you get all the crafty coziness of a quilted wall hanging with none of the time spent slaving over the sewing machine.
As a Grown-up Mobile
With hip geometric shapes and sophisticated unpredictable color palettes, mobiles are moving out of nurseries and finding their place in grown-up rooms. Fabric scraps are held together here by one straight line of stitches sewn through the middle of the pieces. This strategy would probably make a great garland for a doorway as well—so many decorating possibilities in one simple idea!

'Twilight' Plans To Go Out In Record-Breaking Style
"New Moon" had the biggest opening weekend of any films in "The Twilight Saga" when it opened to $142.8 million in 2009. But as the epic series draws to a close riding a crest of pop-culture relevance, that record could easily be shattered this weekend with the arrival of
/moviemain.jhtml">"Breaking Dawn - Part 2."
How big of a bite will the final "Twilight" film take out of the box office? The final "Harry Potter" film, "Deathly Hallows, Part 2," smashed the franchise's record when it debuted to $169 million. The eight-part "Harry Potter" series has made more than $2.4 billion worldwide, while the first four films in "The Twilight Saga" have racked up $1.1 billion.
Fandango.com reported that 92 percent of ticket sales on Thursday were for the final installment of the franchise that made stars out of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" is the best reviewed of the entire series, with a (still rotten) 56 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes at press time. ("New Moon" had a series low of 28 percent.) "Part 2" opened in theaters at 10 p.m. on Thursday, which is a couple of hours earlier than the last installment, which opened at midnight on a Friday.
Box-office experts predicted "Breaking Dawn - Part 2" will crack the top 10 biggest openings list. "It's doubtful it will see a $44 million injection between final installments like 'Harry Potter,' but 'Part 2' will easily surpass the $138 million opening of 'Part 1,'" said Jeff Bock, box-office analyst for Exhibitor Relations. "In 4,070 theaters, expect $150 million plus, which would place it #7 on the best openings of all time list."
Speaking of all-time lists, last weekend's "Skyfall" posted the biggest debut of any James Bond film, even when adjusted for ticket price inflation. "Breaking Dawn" will of course knock Daniel Craig's latest turn as 007 from the top spot, but it should still take in upwards of $40 million. "For most films, that would be a great opening weekend," noted Bock. MovieFanatic.com's Joel Amos suggested "Skyfall" could return to #1 Thanksgiving weekend.
Disney Animation will continue to have the kids' market cornered for a few more days with "Wreck-It Ralph," which should collect another $20 million or so as the arcade-themed cartoon braces for the arrival of "Rise of the Guardians" on November 26.
Amid the romantic/vampiric saga, the action/espionage thrills of Her Majesty's most famous spy and the modern-but-vintage animated romp, there's plenty of period of drama and award-bait fare for audiences this weekend, too, including Stephen Spielberg's "Lincoln," which will expand into wider release. "Expect Disney to spin their straw polls into gold and stump up $15 million in 1,775 theaters," Bock said of the 13th Amendment drama. "Expect 'Lincoln' to be a slow burn, but if awards nominations are showered upon it, this could easily end up being the #1 Lincoln film of the year, surpassing 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,' which has taken in $114 million worldwide so far."
Amos noted there will also be "two movies debuting in limited release that have the potential to do strong per-screen business." IMDB.com's Keith Simanton predicted that "Silver Linings Playbook" "should begin its long, garland-strewn march to the Oscars, including a Best Picture nom and maybe a Best Director, Actor and Actress nod as well." The "Pride and Prejudice" team of Joe Wright and Keira Knightly reunited for another literary adaptation, "Anna Karenina," which Simanton said "will begin its long, polite applause march to nominations in the technical award categories."

A friend of the man who police say shot two relatives and killed his 3-year-old daughter says Frederick Roy Miller is "not a monster."
Prince George's County police said Miller, 38, shot two of his relatives at a home on Farmer Place in Fort Washington Saturday afternoon. A police pursuit began shortly after on Branch Avenue, where Miller was shot and killed after exchanging gunfire with officers.
Miller's 3-year-old daughter was found inside his car suffering from trauma to the upper body, and died later that evening. Police say Miller stabbed and shot her prior to his own death.
"What I want people to understand is that Frederick was not a monster," Tori Bramble said. "He was very upset because his daughter had been, as he had said, 'Taken away from me.' He could not have contact with her."
The child's maternal grandfather and great grandmother remain in critical condition.
"I can't even imagine how the families are dealing with the emotional trauma of losing a 3-year-old," Chief Mark McGaw with Prince George's County police said.
Miller worked as a technician for Verizon, and was also a rapper in his spare time. His friends say he hasn't been the same since suffering head trauma in a serious car crash several years ago, during which he spent nine days in a coma.

Although I was invited to the inaugural Avon Valley Writer's Festival last year, to speak and workshop with my screenwriter's hat on, I wanted something tangible for the audience to purchase so (as mentioned previously) self-published three small books.
Since writing the poems in 1998-2000 on the train between the Northern Suburbs, to the City of Perth then on to University in Mt Lawley, they appeared in my first book published in Ireland 'Hidden Capacity ~ a poet's journey' and more recently re-assessed and 'tweaked' to appear in the stand-alone chapbook for sale. Some pieces have also appeared variously in publications and on the net.
Now I'm hoping to give it yet another life, to convert the chapbook to an e-book for purchase on-line. Any suggestions? The service at Amazon has been recommended although I've been told not to expect 'many dollars' it's a chance for many to see the poems and a whole new experience for me so I'll have a look at it. As I'm not really clever technically, I'm looking for something laywoman easy 😮
Meantime I thought I'd share a story and poem from the book just in case you wanted to investigate further either by purchasing a hard copy from me or perhaps later an e-book from Blurb, Issuu or Amazon. These are the first couple of pages:
Edgewater Station, 7.45am.
The first time I climbed the ramp to cross the empty freeway I thanked my daughter's advice for nervous, first-time train-travel.
"Don't make eye-contact and take something to read."
Embarrassingly unfit; I was truly unworthy of riding to city steeples and naked greed. However, I was able to slow my breathing before reaching the platform, populated by corporate black.
Like others in smart casual I waited unprepared, searching and praying that I had correct change. No way would I approach anyone to help if my Target Special revealed only notes. An extra minute to read the zones and I felt their impatience stab my shoulder blades.
First rule: be prepared. Why doesn't someone press the 'Next Train to Perth' button? How long have I got? Finally, the clunking use of coins and metal spit of ticket, loudly confirmed my lack of railway sophistication.
As I claimed my waiting spot, the gentle morning sun warmed my arms and I began to relax.
My head moved left to spy an approaching train. Then swung right, to relax the tension. The violent clash of eyes focussed on the anticipated train, brought heat and colour flooding to my face. Have I broken another rule?
I turned away. Moved left and slid around to a corner bench, hiding under graffiti steps.
A cleaner diligently wiped the dead remains of habit from a shiny steel surface. As our eyes met, she smiled in understanding. My isolation lifted with the corners of my mouth. "Good morning."
A distant sparkle from Joondalup Tunnel caught my attention. Although I had lost my place for the central carriages, I joined the stragglers just as the last door swept toward my flat comfortable-s.
The unsmiling silent wave surged toward the precipice, eager to rest their feet or continue sleep. We were swallowed with a whoosh.
All around people take off their Sunnis and don clear glass, casually opening their oft-thumbed pages: Time magazine, corporate handouts, New Idea, 'Bondage – a love story' the latest Patricia Cornwell…
I am starting my own new adventure – a new life.
No husband ~ he's decided to share his bacon with a younger model.
No children to care for – they've all moved out, no-one who needs me, just me.
So I'm dealing with the empty nest, taking my new life into a different direction ~ a city job direction.
The first day of my new life: new job; new me. Is it obvious?
No one speaks, except the odd un-sophisticate, who broadcasts gossip as if it elevates them.
I lose myself in Harry Potter and block out the other occupants, cocooned against intimidation.
Priority Seating.
Chivalry's not dead.
Young man offers an older
person his seat, but
not the young lady. He stands
silently, matching her sway.
Freeway Sprawl.
relaxed – half asleep
compassionately floating past
overheated motors crawling
without air-conditioned silence
forced to queue as road workers
widen a future path.

Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway and Governor Steve Beshear are attempting to assert their role in a pending hospital merger.
Questions have been growing around the proposed merger of University of Louisville Hospital, Jewish Hospital and Catholic Health Initiatives. The merged hospitals will have to follow Catholic health directives. That means University Hospital would have to change how it handles reproductive health issues and end-of-life care.
Conway previously announced his intentions to look into the merger to make sure services will be protected after CHI takes 70 percent ownership of the hospital. He told WFPL last week he couldn't stop the merger, but could recommend that the Federal Trade Commission not allow it to go forward. After reviewing the merger documents, Conway now says the state Finance and Administration Cabinet and Beshear's office must approve the merger. Governor Beshear issued a statement saying his approval relies on all services currently offered still being offered after the merger. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer has taken a similar stance. Last year, University Hospital received $61 million from the state and $7 million from the city.
U of L officials say no care will be compromised, but have not explained how that's possible. The School of Medicine will not be part of the merger, and it's possible that school-run care facilities will take over banned procedures. A similar solution was used in a merger in Austin, Texas.
Earlier this week, state Representative Tom Burch of Louisville asked U of L President James Ramsey to address the General Assembly's Health and Welfare Committee about the merger. Ramsey agreed to do so today and will address the committee on August 17 along with representatives from the other parties involved in the merger.
Conway is seeking re-election. His opponent, Republican Todd P'Pool, recently criticized Conway for focusing on the potential loss of an abortion provider in the merger, rather than the fact that a for-profit company would own a majority of a public university's hospital.

I just want to take a minute to brag about my housemates.
I always thought after graduation I'd want to live alone. Freshman year I lived in the dorm and then spent the next 3 years living in my sorority house. I was never more than a few yards away from somebody. I thought I'd want my space, no one to question where I was, or why I wanted to eat Eggo waffles at 10pm sober on a Tuesday, or to share the hot water with. I am young and single and free, so obviously I wanted to live alone.
Well graduation came and no job offers came with it, so my dreams of living the good life in my own apartment were diminished. I quickly realized the only way I was going to be able to stretch my meager little budget across the month was by having housemates.
Enter my current housemates to save the day. They had an extra room in a house with a pool and the rent was perfect. After kissing my dream of living alone good bye for the time being I quickly took their offer and moved in. And I have to tell you, living in a house with 4 other people has been better than I could have ever expected.
The rent is dirt cheap, it's almost like I don't pay anything at all, and all my utilities are included. They always make sure the fridge is stocked and the liquor cabinet is full. Most nights one of them will cook for all of us, and nights when I cook for us someone else will pay for all the groceries. Sometimes we'll even all go out to eat and one of them will pay. I never have to nag someone to be quiet or do their share of the house cleaning. They've been known to go fill my car up with gas without me even asking. And will buy me presents just because. They've been very supportive throughout my job search. Really they've been so great I'm happy to extend my rental period for another 6 months.
So here's to you my fabulous housemates. Thanks for making unemployment not so miserable and life always exciting.
Oh and where'd I manage to find such fabulous housemates you ask? Well they also double as my parents and two sisters. Life is all about looking on the sunny side, so I don't live with my parents, I live with the best housemates a girl could ever hope for.

Heritage Lesson at Port Sunlight
Thursday, 16 October 2014
Shortly after the Junior Girls arrived in School on Thursday morning, Hesketh House emptied once again as the whole school left to visit Port Sunlight. The village was created by Bolton School benefactor William Hesketh Lever for his Sunlight Soap factory workers in 1888, and remains a fine example of early urban planning in the UK.
The girls visited Port Sunlight Museum, where they learned more about the 'Soap King' who went on to jointly endow the girls' and boys' schools of Bolton to create the Bolton School Foundation in April 1915, and later became the Viscount Leverhulme. They were given information about the building of the village and the factory where the original inhabitants worked, as well as what their lives would have been like in the Edwardian and Victorian periods.
The girls also visited the Lady Lever Art Gallery, where they could peruse the many paintings and pieces of art that were in her collection. This was a great opportunity for them to learn more about Lady Lever herself.
As part of the visit, the girls were able to try on period costumes and handle different artefacts. They also completed a village walk and saw the Port Sunlight War Memorial, which is one of the largest and grandest in the country.
The girls had a fantastic time on the trip and really enjoyed the whole of the day. Here are some of their comments:
"I really loved our visit to Port Sunlight. I loved the village, it really captured my attention."
"I loved the paintings in the Lady Lever Art Gallery. I learnt that William Hesketh Lever used some of them to advertise his soap."
"I was fascinated by the soap factory. I didn't realise that the factory had two doors for its workers – one for the men and one for the women."
"I loved looking at the architecture in Port Sunlight Village. Every chimney pot was different and quirky!"

In the deck of cards are some Exploding Kittens. You play the game by putting the deck face down and taking turns drawing cards until someone draws an Exploding Kitten.
When that happens, that person explodes. They are now dead and out of the game.
This process continues until there's only 1 player left, who wins the game.
The more cards you draw, the greater your chances of drawing an Exploding Kitten.
if you explode, you lose.
and you are full of incendiary loser sadsauce.
If you DON'T explode, you win!
and you are full of greatness. good job, buddy.
And all of the other cards
will lessen your chances of getting exploded by Exploding Kittens.
For Example
You could use a See the Future Card to peek at the top few cards in the Draw Pile. If that reveals an Exploding Kitten you could then use a Skip Card to end your
turn and avoid drawing it.
To start, remove all the Exploding Kittens (9) from the deck and set them aside.
Now, look through the remaining deck and based on the number of players, use the following cards:
2 - 3 players: Use only the cards WITH a paw print in the corner (44).
4 - 7 players: Use only the cards WITHOUT a paw print in the corner (69).
8 - 10 players: Use all of the cards (113).
Remove all of the Defuse Cards from the deck and deal 1 to each player.
Insert any extra Defuse Cards back in the deck (if there are any).
Defuse Cards
Each player starts with a Defuse Card; the most powerful card in the game. These are the only cards that can save you from Exploding Kittens. If you draw an Exploding Kitten, instead of dying, you can play the Defuse Card and reinsert the Kitten back into the Draw Pile anywhere you'd like in secret.
Try to get as many Defuse Cards as possible.
For a 4 player game, insert 3 Kittens.
For a 3 player game, insert 2 Kittens.
This ensures that everyone eventually explodes except for 1 person.
Note: For a 2 - 3 player game, the Exploding Kittens you insert will be the only cards that do not have paw prints.
Gather all 8 of your cards into your hand and look at them. Do one of the following:
Play no cards.
Play a card by placing it FACE UP on top of the Discard Pile and following the instructions on the card.
After you follow the instructions on the card, you can play more cards. You can play as many cards as you'd like.
End your turn by drawing a card from the top of the Draw Pile into your hand and hoping it's not an Exploding Kitten. (This is different from most games in that you END YOUR TURN by drawing a card.)
Play continues clockwise around the table.
Play as many or as few cards as you'd like, then draw a card to end your turn.
The last player who hasn't exploded wins the game.
You won't ever run out of cards in the Draw Pile because you inserted enough Exploding Kittens to kill all but 1 player.
Three More Things
You must show this card immediately. Unless you have a Defuse Card, you're dead. Discard all of your cards, including the Exploding Kitten.
If you drew an Exploding Kitten, you can play this card instead of dying. Place your Defuse Card in the Discard Pile.
Then take the Exploding Kitten, and without reordering or viewing the other cards, secretly put it back in the Draw Pile anywhere you'd like.
Want to screw over the player right after you? Put the Kitten right on top of the deck. If you'd like, hold the deck under the table so that no one else can see where you put it.
Your turn is over after playing this card.
Immediately end your turn(s) without drawing and force the next player to take 2 turns in a row. The victim of this card takes a turn as normal (play-or-pass then draw). Then, when their first turn is over, it's their turn again.
If the victim of an Attack Card plays an Attack Card, their turns are immediately over, and the next player must take any remaining turns plus 2 more; e.g. 4 turns, then 6, and so on.
Immediately end your turn without drawing a card. If you play a Skip Card in response to a Attack Card, it only ends 1 of the 2 turns. Playing 2 Skip Cards would end both turns.
Privately view the top 3 cards from the Draw Pile and put them back in the same order. Don't show the cards to the other players.
Privately view the top 3 cards from the Draw Pile and rearrange them in any order you'd like. Return them to the top of the Draw Pile face down, then continue with your turn.
Shuffle the Draw Pile without viewing the cards until told to stop. (Useful when you know there's an Exploding Kitten coming.)
End your turn by drawing the bottom card from the Draw Pile.
Force any other player to give you 1 card from their hand. They choose which card to give you.
Stop any action except for an Exploding Kitten or a Defuse Card. Imagine that any card beneath a Nope Card never existed.
You can also play a Nope on another Nope to negate it and create a Yup, and so on.
You can play a Nope Card at any time before an action has begun, even if it's not your turn. Any cards that have been noped are lost. Leave them in the Discard Pile.
You can even play a Nope on a Special Combo (below).
Use as any Cat Card (any of the cards with no instructions on them). This card cannot be used as a non-Cat Card (Shuffle, Double Slap, etc).
These cards are powerless on their own, but if you collect any 2 matching Cat Cards, you can play them as a Pair to steal a random card from any player. They can also be used in Special Combos.
End your turn without drawing a card and force any other player to take 2 turns in a row.
This is not the same as drawing 2 cards in a row! The target of this card should take their first turn (play cards and/or draw). When their turn is over, it's their turn again.
If the targeted player plays a Slap Card in return, they pick a player to take ALL remaining turns (4 turns, then 6, and so on). Play always continues from the targeted player.
If you draw and defuse an Exploding Kitten during a series of turns, you must continue taking your remaining turns after you reinsert the Kitten.
Triple Slap 1 card with paw, 1 without
Triple Slap works the same way as Double Slap, but adds 3 turns instead of 2.
Reverse the order of play and end your turn without drawing.
If you play this card after you've been SLAPPED, the order of play is reversed, but you've only ended 1 of your turns.
Special Combos
(Read this after you've played your first game)
Two of a Kind
Playing matching Pairs of Cat Cards (where you get to steal a random card from another player) no longer only applies to Cat Cards, it now applies to ANY cards in the deck with the same title (a pair of Shuffle Cards, a pair of Skip Cards, etc).
Three of a Kind
Exactly the same as Two of a Kind, but you get to name the card you want from the other player. If they have it, you get to take it. If not, you get nothing.

27 Interesting Facts About Rivers
All civilizations on Earth were born around rivers, so their importance for humanity can't be overestimated.

And people, perhaps, should treat these veins of our planet more carefully…
Top facts about rivers

- The length of the world's shortest river is only 118 feet (36 meters). It's called D River and it's located in Oregon, United States.
- Saudi Arabia is the only modern state that is not located on the island and at the same time doesn't have any permanent river on its territory. All local rivers dry out in summer.
- The most meandering river in the world called Pyana flows through Russia. The distance from the source to the mouth in a straight line does not exceed 16.6 miles (30 km), but thanks to the bends of the river bed the length of Pyana reaches 250 miles (400 km).
- Another Russian river, the Ural, divides Europe and Asia, and its left and right banks belong to different parts of the world.
- Only one bridge was built across the Amazon.
- The Catatumbo River in Venezuela attracts a huge number of lightning strikes for some unknown reasons. Up to 450,000 lightning strikes fall at its mouth annually, and that's a real phenomenon.
- The Nile River flowing through Africa was frozen and covered with ice twice in the entire history of observations.
- La Plata is the widest river in the world if we talk about the maximum width at least in one place. The width of La Plata reaches 137 miles (220 km).
- The Arctic ocean would be much colder if it were not for the heat brought into it by the waters of Siberian rivers.
- USSR authorities have had a plan to reverse some of the rivers of Siberia. Fortunately, the project was never implemented.
- Once during the powerful earthquake waters of the Mississippi River started to flow in the opposite direction for a while.
- During the rainy season, the Indian river Kosi is paving a new riverbed annually, crushing everything in its path.
- The length of the Nile and Amazon exceeds 3700 miles (6000 km).

- The Congo River in Africa is the deepest one, with a maximum depth of 755 feet (230 meters).
- The country with the largest number of rivers flowing through its lands is Finland, where there are more than 650 ones.
- World rivers carry about 16 billion tons of rocks and debris into the seas and oceans annually.
- More rivers flow into the Atlantic than into any other one.
- Congo is the only river that crosses the equator twice.
- During the full moon due to the influence of tidal forces on the Amazon, waves up to 4 meters (13 feet) high can be observed.
- In the early 20th century, American engineers turned back the Chicago river.
- The Royal River in Australia is the dirtiest one in the world. All organic life here is extinct.
- In some countries, such as Malta, rivers arise only temporarily, after heavy rains, for example, but they dry up quickly.
- The Nile is the oldest river on Earth.
- Every year for several days in the evenings you can watch the fireballs flying out of the waters of the Mekong river, rushing into the sky. The reason for their occurrence is still not clear.
