Ex-Dolphin linebacker Edds claimed
Knee injury kept him out all of last season
The Patriots continue to tweak their roster, and yesterday they claimed linebacker A.J. Edds on waivers from the Dolphins, according to a league source.
Edds, who was cut Monday, was taken by the Dolphins in the fourth round of the 2010 draft but he did not play last season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the first week of training camp.
Edds, 6 foot 4 inches, 246 pounds, was a highly touted prospect out of Iowa. He returned to the field this preseason and had a couple of impressive games, including seven tackles and one sack against the Falcons.
At Iowa, Edds played strong-side linebacker in his final 38 starts and was a second-team All-Big Ten selection his senior season.
Two of a kind The Patriots may be ready to add another tight end before the season opener - one who has a brother on the team.
Dan Gronkowski, brother of tight end Rob Gronkowski, is expected to sign, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Dan Gronkowski, who was cut by the Broncos Saturday, was one of a few players the Patriots worked out yesterday.
The Patriots would have to make a move to add Gronkowski, who is not eligible for the practice squad.
Before reports of Dan Gronkowski's workout surfaced, coach Bill Belichick was asked during a conference call yesterday if he wanted to add a third tight end, after Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
"We'll do whatever we can on our roster to improve the team, at any position, whatever position that is,'' he said. "Wherever we get the opportunity to improve the team if we can, we'll try to do that.''
Dan Gronkowski had eight catches for 65 yards in 12 games with Denver last season. He is 6-5, 255, and considered more of a blocker. The Lions drafted him in the seventh round out of Maryland in 2009, and traded him to Denver last September.
On Saturday, Rob Gronkowski was asked how Dan felt after being cut by Denver. He said he was in touch with Dan and his other brother Chris Gronkowski, who is a fullback with the Colts, all weekend.
"I'm always cheering for my brothers, but the other one is still out there,'' Rob said. "He's definitely a good tight end, and I believe he's going to be picked up somewhere.''
Moss questionable Tom Brady stirred a world of "what ifs'' when he answered a question about Randy Moss during his weekly appearance on WEEI's "Dennis and Callahan Show'' yesterday.
Moss filed his retirement papers in the first week of August, but a recent report stated that he may consider coming back to the NFL if he could play for the Patriots.
Brady was asked if he would be surprised to find himself throwing to Moss again.
"You never know in the NFL,'' Brady said. "I talked to Randy just before training camp started. I love Randy, one of the greatest receivers in the history of the game. One of the greatest players I've ever had the chance to play with, and I love the guy, so . . .
"Unfortunately I don't make personnel decisions. I'd still have all my friends here. Troy [Brown] would still be here. David Patten would still be here. Deion [Branch] would never have left, but I've seen so many guys move on over the years, and then guys come back, so who knows? You never know what the situation will be next week for that matter.
"I can't get into his brain at all, but I love the guy. He's a friend of mine. If he ever did have the opportunity to come back, I'd certainly welcome him with open arms.''
Banking on Branch Branch may not have had a catch during the preseason, but Belichick considers him a key part of the offense and said he had a good camp.
"He hasn't missed any time at all, and that was something he wasn't able to do last year,'' Belichick said. "We had to manage him a little bit in practice but he was, I think, in good condition. He certainly took his share of reps out there in training camp and I thought he looked good doing it.
"Based on what I've seen so far and what he has done in training camp and preseason, I think he's ready to have a good year. Works hard, gives us good leadership at that position, very smart player, instinctive player, knows what to do, does the right thing and is very dependable.
"I think everybody in the organization feels good about counting on Deion. He's a very consistent guy every day. Every time the ball is snapped, he almost always does the right thing, does it the way you want him to do it. We all have a lot of confidence in Deion."
By invitation only Among the other players the Patriots worked out yesterday were former Dolphins defensive back Will Allen, former Titans safety Vincent Fuller, and tight end John Nalbone, who has played for the Dolphins and Bengals, among other teams.

Ben's school moved closer to our house., now it's only a bit over a mile away. This week I walked to pick him up in the afternoon and we've really enjoyed the walk back together. Today on my way to school it started to rain on me, I turned around and headed back to the house but 2 blocks away it stopped and the skies were blue again and the sun was out. I turned back towards school and continued the walk and dried off b/f I arrived, but on our way home pete calls to tell me the worse is headed straight for us. WE GOT SOAKED! for most of a mile it rained and rained HARD. We had fun stomping thru the puddles and singing in the rain.
I think Ben has plenty of dinos these days. HE LOVES THEM.. but I think he has 3 t-rexes, 2 steggies, and a million more. He wants me to play with him, but i get frustrated. Doesn't matter who I am, his T-Rex always wins.

RALEIGH — There is good news for on-the-go digital music lovers.
In-dash MP3 players are beginning to appear on the market. They cost about the same as a high-end car CD player and snap right into the dash.
The first MP3 products for the car are MP3 CD players. Instead of creating an audio CD with your MP3 files, you can put raw MP3 files on the CD. Instead of putting only a dozen or so songs on your CD, you can fill it with about 100 MP3 files.

Obvious question: why a novel about Nadya Krupskaya, Nadya's mother and Nadya's husband (Vladimir Lenin)?
A perplexed friend asked the same question back when I started the project. The justification that popped out of my mouth at the time was: "I admire their work ethic." Whatever else might be said of them, Krupskaya the younger and Lenin worked like dogs on behalf of their cause.

Key Tracks: "Near to the Wild Heart of Life","True Love and a Free Life of Free Will", "No Known Drink or Drug"
Japandroids have established themselves as one of the most universally loved alternative rock bands of the decade. Consisting of Brian King on guitar and vocals and David Prowse on drums, Japandroids' sound has always been impressively full. Since Celebration Rock's critical acclaim in 2012, the duo's next move has been nothing short of highly anticipated. Celebration Rock was a record filled with angst and hope; it evoked teenage feelings of invincibility and vulnerability with a rough around the edges delivery. Celebration Rock set the bar high for whatever followed. This is why Japandroids spent five years perfecting Near to the Wild Heart of Life, and the album that expands the band's sound while unfortunately abandoning its quirks.
Near to the Wild Heart of Life is more polished and easily digestible than past releases. Though evolving to a more professional sound benefits some, Japandroids is not that band. The sleeker production is too stark a contrast from the raw sound of previous tracks such as Post Nothing's "I Quit Girls" or Celebration Rock's "Adrenaline Nightshift." Near to the Wild Heart of Life is much more methodical than the organic sound Japandroids have become known for. "North East South West" specifically suffers from this overly sleek sound. The track has all components of a Japandroids song; it includes booming instrumentals, a catchy chorus and lyrics about love and getting drunk. However, the put-together sound somehow makes Japandroids sound like any other average rock band.
Despite the sleeker production, most tracks preserve the signature grand Japandroids chorus. Japandroids songs are meant to be yelled in a drunken haze among a crowd of people, and Near to the Wild Heart of Life does not disappoint in this respect. "Near to the Wild Heart of Life" has an infectiously catchy chorus with King yelling, "And it got me all fired up to go far away"; it's a song that begs you to belt along.
"No Known Drink or Drug" distinguishes itself as the album's high point. The track acts as an expansion of the band's already explosive sound. Over blaring guitar and drums king sings "No known drink, or no known drug, can ever hold a candle to your love." This track embodies everything great about Japandroids. Had more songs sounded like this, Near to the Wild Heart of Life could have been a much more satisfactory album.
Near to the Wild Heart of Life is by no means a bad album, it could have even been great. However, when put in the context of Japandroids' discography, it seems like a downgrade. Had it been released before Celebration Rock, there would have been a different reaction. Celebration Rock was a true triumph, and it seems near impossible for any follow-up to even come close to reaching its beautifully messy musical delivery. Near to the Wild Heart of Fire is not a failure, rather it cannot live up to Japandroids' past.

An important part of researching quality hospice care, is to make sure that your loved one isn't the victim of a scam. Unfortunately, scams are prevalent when it comes to end of life services. But we have helpful tips, so you'll know exactly what to look for in a hospice provider.
An easy way for a provider to scam patients is to simply cut back on services. This can be by reducing the number of visits by a home health care aide, or the RN case manager. In some cases, the RN will simply call the patient or the patient's family to get an update. This is in no way an acceptable substitution for an in-person visit. A hospice provider might also reduce other important services, such as the availability of counselors, bereavement staff, chaplains and social workers in an effort to reduce costs and make greater profits.
Another troubling way that some providers scam their clients is by cutting back on medications. Pain medications can be very expensive, and by not providing the amount of medication prescribed by the doctor, unscrupulous providers can pocket a lot of money. The same is true with oxygen, by limiting the patient's access to oxygen, the provider can save money.
Sometimes, an unethical hospice will refuse to provide round the clock care for patients who are in crisis. Your loved one deserves compassionate care by a hospice provider that is committed to ensuring quality end of life services. Be sure to ask questions relating to these scams to protect the people close to you.

sorry I think the Vikings are going 8-8 this year tbh.
Lack of pressure by the defensive line and Packer receivers getting wide open on the secondary all day.
Ya hate to see it.
That said, I think the game changer was Bonehead Zimmer making the call that led to the safety of Cousins. A successful drive there would've put the Packers on their heels and kept the defense off the field and allowed them some rest.
sorry I think the Vikings are going 8-8 this year tbh.
2020 Vikings
4-12. Maybe they'll draft another black QB, like that has ever worked for the Vikings in the past (not).
Dan Bailey doesn't miss much. But he always finds the worst time to miss. Had he made his 49 yarder, the ans would have had to go the length of the field for the TD.
Tavaris Jackson came along at the time of pioneering running black QB's. If he came along now, they'd see his nervous feet and lack of big playmaking much quicker IMO.
Donovan McNabb was the worst. Total cancer. I imagine he got away with stuff in his prime in Philly; though they hated his selfish ass most the time too. But doing the sh** he did in Minnie in the twilight of his career. Nobody loved him for it.
Teddy Bridgewater's ceiling was never that high. He was serviceable; but the Vikes were right to move on after he got injured.
Vikes have had plenty of bad luck with white QB's all the same. I don't see any sort of bad luck based on skin color or any major culture clash stuff. 2009 was the year for the Vikes with Favre summoning one last great year. League stole our ring. Simple as that.
maybe a repeat of the Bucs MRSA epidemic in 2013
From article https://www.si.com/nfl/vikings/news/...ainst-vikings:
The most important name out of that trio from the Vikings' perspective is (DaQuan) Jones. He played a total of 51 snaps (45 defense, six special teams) in the game last Sunday, recording three pressures, a QB hit, and two tackles. Due to the nature of his position, Jones made contact with at least one Vikings offensive lineman on every single one of those plays. In doing so, he was potentially exposing them to COVID-19.
Cousins at risk perhaps?!
I'm just saying that any "asymptomatic" player who needs to be rested can get one of those tests and make it happen.
Doubt they even have to test. They can just check a box.
0-3 Vikings vs. 0-3 Texans. Loser KO'd.
Though, Texans may have some leeway in their weak conference.

In the XXI century, intelligent technology has completely invaded all spheres of our daily lives, including, of course, that of sports. Despite maintaining the classic style of play that characterizes golf so much , this sport is one of those that has benefited the most from revolutionary technological advances in recent years, as we can observe today on any of the golf courses from the Costa del Sol .
Technology and golf: the most popular gadgets among players
GPS watches, sensors, connected gloves, software to measure the trajectory of the ball … the technology applied to golf is here to stay and is used by both professional and amateur players. We tell you what are some of the most popular gadgets in the world of golf.
Sensors in equipment and golf courses
When a player takes a shot, it takes a long time to figure out where the ball lands. For this reason, the implementation of sensors in golf equipment and courses, which allow us to demonstrate the exact point of fall , has been one of the greatest technological advances in this sport. In addition, sensor gloves, watches and clubs provide the ability for players and the public to rewatch each play accurately by analyzing different factors, such as the angle of the shot or the force of the club during the swing.
GPS technology
The GPS technology in golf clubs was the first step, but now also incorporates , sprinklers, golf carts and smart watches balls . This allows the status of the game to be followed and signaled with greater precision (and in real time) to the most distant viewers –among other uses-.
The scopes increase the quality of perception at the moment of a swing , as well as the fall or the trajectory of the ball. The latest technological advances in golf scopes offer a range of around 450 meters and options that even allow you to define the exact temperature on the course or the height the ball reaches .
The technology in 'Trackman' golf clubs has been one of the latest advancements in the world of golf. It is a light piece of equipment that resembles a telephone and consists of a double radar that will measure the trajectory and angle of the club at the moment of swinging . But it also offers other utilities, such as recording the ball's complete travel and speed .

Tagged with: awareness children disability exercise saftey sport
Keeping children safe and secure during sporting activities can sometimes be a difficult task – especially if the children in question have disabilities. This is due, in part, to a lack of adequate information concerning the risks involved with certain activities. But before we go into more specific advice (every child is different) on this issue, there are, firstly, general steps that all parents and carers should take to ensure the safety of their child.
These include: being aware of what risks are unique to the child; planning ways to protect the child from these and other risks (and sharing that plan with other relevant people and authorities); and, lastly, being aware that, over the course of time, the child's specific needs are likely to evolve.
Once you have this general 'protection plan' in place, you should also consider and factor in some of the following points which are more clear-cut.
1) Using safety equipment
For most organized sports and activities, safety equipment is geared towards the size and age of a child, and it may not take into consideration the fact they could have a disability.
Things to look out for, among others, may include: car seats (more information here or find a qualified CPS technician to assist), safety bars and handrails, life jackets in the case of water sports, and smoke alarms (if your child has problems hearing).
2) Understanding instructions
Many children with disabilities will have problems understanding instructions, which could put them in danger, especially if they have problems communicating as well.
Does your child have problems hearing or remembering?
If so, ensure that you communicate this to the relevant people, as many adults incorrectly assume that children with disabilities are fully self-aware of their issue, which is often not the case at all.
Steps to protect your child may include teaching them to use a special signal (such as a whistle) when they are in distress in order to alert others, and liaising with relevant authorities (leisure center management, local emergency services, etc) to inform them of your child's disability so they can act quicker in the case of emergency (more info here).
3) Handling unsafe objects
If your child has problems with handling objects and general movement/special awareness, especially if their pain receptors do not function as they should, then it is likely they may not realize a certain object is unsafe – and they may have problems getting away from the object as well.
To try and eliminate this threat, always scan the environment where they are partaking in the activity thoroughly to check that all areas within their reach are safe.
Also remember to check their clothing for potential hazards (loose strings, zips on a jacket, etc) that could arise when interacting with this environment.
Signing off
I hope this article has been of some use to parents and caregivers – but, above all, remember that every child – not only those with disabilities – is different and will have individual needs.
I would also advise consulting the child's doctor and/or teacher to seek further guidance with these matters, and where appropriate, seeking professional assistance from an approved child-minder or nanny agency.
In addition, I would also recommend having a look at SafeKids.org (an excellent resource) and this very helpful presentation from the Children's Hospital and Research Center in Oakland.
What advice do you have for keeping children with disabilities safe from injury when it comes to sport and other activities?
I'd love to hear from you in the comments section below!

Many dog owners work long hours and felt guilty for leaving their pets home alone. While dog walkers have become the choice for these people for a while, a new option is a doggie day care. Doggie daycare give older dogs a chance to feel like their dogs enjoy their day while they work hard. Socializing a dog is very important that some dogs go to dog daycare several times a week just to play with other dogs.
The goal of most dog daycare facilities is to provide a safe and healthy atmosphere for dogs that allows them a lot of interaction with both dogs and people. The first idea is rooted in California and rather quickly spread across the country. If you are looking for dog training in NC then you can navigate various online sources.
Many dogs daycare facility is a stand-alone business that is run by people who love dogs and wanted to spend their day with them. The facilities and services offered by the organization dog daycare are as vast and deep as the imagination of the owner of the facility. These organizations are often combined with overnight boarding, training, and maintenance.
Some facilities offer veterinary care for the exam by doing the dog and check-ups. In addition, canine massage and aromatherapy treatments are available. While this may sound strange, many people feel that their dogs, especially older dogs or those with health problems, aided by this choice. Also, many people feel that the dogs they deserve the same kind of treatment they get.

The Scripting Wife, Event 7, and Yoyo (2010)
Event 7: It is hard to believe that the 2010 Scripting Games are already up to Event 7! Time flies when you're sort of having fun. Take today's script, for example. The hard part was finding out how to find the administrative tools; the rest was not very hard at all. Maybe that is the way scripting really is. I don't know.
Anyway, I kind of cheated for today's script. I tried to do the right thing; I searched MSDN for "admin tools," "administrative tools," and even "administrative tools folder." None of those searches were enough to limit the results to what I needed. There are tons of stuff out there, such as how to install administrative tools and how to assign a folder to someone, but nothing even remotely connected to what I needed.
I then tried to ask the Microsoft Scripting Guy, but he was busy and simply said. "Yoyo."
"Yoyo," I echoed. "What in the world does yoyo mean?"
"You're on your own," he mirthlessly replied.
"Well, fine," I thought to myself. "If the Script Monkey will not help me directly, he can help me by proxy." I opened Internet Explorer and headed over to the Hey, Scripting Guy! Blog. Once again, I struck out. Then I thought about the Script Repository and boom there it was. I found exactly the script I needed. Of course, it was written in VBScript, but at least it identified the COM object that I needed to use. With that information, it took me about 15 minutes to write the script; however, I wasted an hour trying to search for the object I needed.
Oh, well, such are the trials of an everyday Scripting Wife. I am going to e-mail this to Ed so that he can get it to Craig, and I am going to get started baking a turkey I picked up at the grocery store yesterday.
Microsoft Scripting Guy Ed Wilson here. Check out the due dates page to see when the remaining scripts are due. Let me invite you again to keep up with the 2010 Scripting Games by following us on Twitter or Facebook. If you have any questions during the Games, send e-mail to us at firstname.lastname@example.com or post your questions on the 2010 Scripting Games Forum. See you tomorrow. Until then, peace.

In my recovery from toxic mold illness, no dietary changes have been more crucial to me than avoiding mold-containing foods. Once I learned that numerous foods could harbor mold, and thus worsen my symptoms, I became extremely vigilant about keeping these foods out of my diet. Below is a comprehensive list of foods that contain mold. You may want to avoid these foods if you are struggling with a chronic illness, as mold illness not only makes your body more sensitive to mold and mycotoxins in your environment, but it can also increase your sensitivity to the substances that you bring into your body as food.
Mold-Containing Foods:
All types of cheese
Vinegar and foods preserved in vinegar: Salad dressings, mustard, olives, white vinegar
Sour cream, sour milk, buttermilk, yogurt
Alcoholic beverages: Beer, wine
Sourdough bread
Sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables
Preserved meats: Jerky (even organic and grass-fed jerky), smoked meats, smoked fish, sausages, corned beef, ham, bacon
All dried fruits: Raisins, apricots, cranberries, figs, prunes
Canned juice
Canned tomatoes
Additional Information:
High-sugar foods and processed foods should be avoided, as sugar will feed the fungal infection.
Pineapple, melons, and citrus have a higher propensity for developing mold. Honeydew melon and cantaloupe are two prime examples; you can often see mold growing directly on the rind of these melons (unless a toxic fungicide has been applied, but it would be best to avoid that too!)
You may want to avoid eating canned foods, even if those foods are not on the "mold-containing foods" list. If any mold spores enter a vat of food before it is divided up and canned, the spores can replicate in the can to a degree significant enough to cause illness.
Coffee can contain mold spores; consider purchasing a mold-free brand of coffee, such as Bulletproof coffee. I love Bulletproof coffee, it goes through a special process to determine that it is free of mold and mycotoxins. You can purchase it via the link below.
Wash and peel fruits and vegetables that have grown from the ground before eating. Mold is present in the soil, and can contaminate the skins of fruits and vegetables.
Foods That Can Be Eaten:
Organic, pastured animal meats and poultry, wild-caught fish (fresh, not canned)
Non-Starchy Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussel sprouts, chard, onion, leek, garlic, asparagus
Moderate amounts of starchy vegetables: Potato, sweet potato, turnip, parsnip, squash
Low-sugar fruits: Apples, berries
Raw nuts and seeds (except for peanuts, which are high in aflatoxin, a mycotoxin produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus)
Healthy fats: Olive oil, coconut oil, pastured organic tallow, lard, duck fat, ghee, butter, coconut oil
Small amounts of gluten-free grains, if tolerated: Brown rice, wild rice, oats. Note that grains, even organic and gluten-free, are still likely to harbor some level of mold of mycotoxins simply due to the the methods by which they are stored and processed. It may require some self-experimentation to determine whether you can tolerate any grains in your low-mold diet.
Include Anti-fungal Foods in Your Diet!
Eliminating the foods listed above is important, but it is also crucial to incorporate anti-fungal foods into your diet. Examples of these would include garlic, onions, propolis, raw honey (the exception to the "no sugar" rule), coconut oil, and other coconut products.
Avoidance of Salicylates While Healing from Mold Illness:
Salicylates are chemicals that occur naturally in many plants, including numerous edible plants. Salicylates act as natural pesticides by protecting the plants against predation by other animals, and also defend the plants against disease. Salicylates are present in a number of the foods we eat and do not cause problems for the average person. However, it is possible for people to develop an intolerance to foods high in salicylates, especially if one has compromised gut health and a decreased ability to metabolize these substances, as may occur in the case of chronic infection and "leaky gut." I personally have dealt with a pretty severe salicylate intolerance. About a year into my journey with healing from toxic mold illness, I learned that fungi actually produce substances similar in structure to salicylates; this led me to discover that the fungal infection I was dealing with as a result of mold exposure was causing me to reach "salicylate overload" in my body, due to the salicylate-like compounds being produced by the fungi. This led to me developing a decreased ability to metabolize the salicylates (likely due to deficiencies of certain enzymes and cofactors needed to metabolize the compounds) and made it so that any additional salicylate intake from foods caused my body to go haywire and develop symptoms.
Over time, I found that by following a low-to-moderate salicylate diet, my salicylate intolerance symptoms improved dramatically. Thus, I have ultimately incorporated principles of the low-salicylate diet with the low-mold diet. This is the diet I have been following while recovering from toxic mold illness. Below is some information regarding symptoms of salicylate sensitivity, as well as a chart depicting levels of salicylates in various foods. Salicylate sensitivity symptoms usually occur upon ingestion of salicylate-rich foods. However, other products such as fragrances can also contain salicylates, and inhalation of those substances can trigger symptoms as well. Foods that are low-mold may still be moderate or high in salicylates, and potentially cause problems for those who are sensitive.
Symptoms of salicylate intolerance from the Food Intolerance Network (1)
Headaches and migraines
Itchy, inflamed skin rashes such as eczema
Irritable bowel symptoms – acid reflux, nausea, vomiting, bloating, gas diarrhea, constipation
Bedwetting, cystitis
Asthma, stuffy or runny nose, nasal polyps, frequent throat clearing
Behaviour problems such as irritability, restlessness, symptoms of ADHD
Sleep disturbance – difficulty falling asleep, night terrors, frequent night waking, sleep apnoea
Anxiety, depression, panic attacks
Rapid heart beat and arrythmias
Tinnitus, hyperacusis, hearing loss
Joint pain, arthritis
Salicylates in Foods (2,3,4,5):
Salicylates in Vegetables:
Salicylates in Fruits:
Salicylates in Nuts, Seeds, and Grains:
Salicylates in Fats:
Salicylates in Seasonings, Condiments, and Sugar:
As with mold-containing foods, preserved and canned foods are more likely to cause problems, as salicylates are increased in these types of foods. I recommend consuming primarily fresh foods, as these are likely to be the lowest in salicylates. Leftovers may be a problem for some people in regards to salicylates; I have found that I can tolerate food that is at the most 2 days old.
As a general rule, grains, meats, poultry, fish, and dairy products contain either no or negligible amounts of salicylates, unless they are preserved and contains spices, sauces, or preservative chemicals.
Note that levels of salicylates can also vary in produce depending on the season, whether or not the food was peeled, whether the food is cooked or raw, and how ripe the food was upon harvest. Since there are so many factors, I would suggest keeping a food journal to keep track of your reactions to various foods, and see if you can find a pattern between intake of certain foods, symptoms, and potential salicylate intolerance. This is how I determined that I had a salicylate intolerance, and it is how I finally developed a diet for myself.
Avoiding high-mold foods and high-salicylate foods can be a challenge, as it cuts out such a wide variety of foods. However, with salicylates, there are some strategies you can take to increase your ability to tolerate these substances in food. Metabolism of salicylates requires glycine, so you may want to try taking supplemental glycine. I recommend this brand:
Treating fungal infections and healing the gut are also key for reducing salicylate intolerance. Since fungi produce compounds similar in structure to salicylates, an untreated fungal infection can create a flood of salicylate-like compounds, overwhelming the body and leaving it unable to tolerate any additional salicylates in the form of foods. I have found that treating fungal infections and healing leaking gut has allowed me to slowly increase my intake of salicylates. To treat my fungal infection and heal my gut, I have used the following products:
Just Thrive: This is a probiotic with potent antifungal properties. I think this is an excellent antifungal product for those who cannot tolerate herbal antifungals due to the extent of their salicylate intolerance.
Prescript-Assist: A soil-based microorganism probiotic that can help restore a normal balance to the microbiome, eradicating pathogenic fungi.
Saccharomyces boulardii: An beneficial yeast that crowds out pathogenic microorganisms (including candida). Research also indicates that saccharomyces boulardii has the ability to bind mycotoxins, and thus faciliate their excretion from the body.
For more information about salicylates, you can read my previous post on phenol intolerance (another name for salicylate intolerance), "Phenol Intolerance: A Symptom of Mold-Induced Illness."
Final Note: If you decide to purchase any of the items mentioned in this post, I will receive a very small commission from Amazon. This helps to support my website and blog.

Jungle Jammin' [ Comment ]Monday, 28 September, 2009 at 6:29 PST | | Print NewsHeres something kool to take the nasty bite out of Monday, especially if youre having a bleak, rainy one like me. A new ET: QUAKE Wars beta map version has been released, and its Teamjungle by Splash Damage artist, MoP! The map was inspired by the map of the same name created for the Action Quake 2 mod by timm and offers a single objective round of action for about 4 people per team. Its in testing, so have at it and comment on it so the author can make it the best it can be.
This is "Teamjungle", a single-objective document grab/delivery map. Strogg are attacking, GDF defend the documents. The layout is based around an original Action Quake 2 map called "teamjungle" by timm from nearly 10 years ago! I always loved that map and wanted to try and recreate it in ETQW as an objective mission rather than the original team deathmatch.

|All About AAR/OUP Publications: The Academy Series
Kimberly Rae Connor, University of San Francisco
Kimberly Rae Connor teaches at the University of San Francisco. She is entering her tenth and final year as editor for the Academy Series.
The Academy Series is unique among the book series sponsored by the American Academy of Religion and published by Oxford University Press as the only series devoted to publishing books that originate as dissertations. The AAR takes seriously its role in promoting the development of emerging talent and has set aside the Academy Series to feature the best and most original work emerging from graduate programs in religious studies. Since the only criteria for consideration is that a work excels in scholarship that originates as a dissertation, the range of topics eligible for Academy Series recognition is very broad and inclusive of the diversity and vitality characteristic of the field.
Forty seven titles in the series are currently in print, including fifteen published in the last decade since AAR partnered with Oxford University Press; another fifteen or so manuscripts are in various stages of review and production, indicating how attractive the series remains to professional scholars beginning their careers. A quick glance at some recent titles gives one an idea of the scope of topics chosen for Academy Series recognition. Books by series authors range from Christian classics (The Concept of Divine Persons in Saint Gregory of Nyssa's Works and Paul in Israel's Story: Self and Community at the Cross) to contemporary Buddhism (Negotiating Race and Religion in American Buddhism: Burmese Buddhism in California); from feminist theology (Meeting God on the Cross: Feminist Contributions to Christology) to ancient Islam (Origin and Development of the Ibadi Imamate). Series authors have explored the religious dimensions of literary writers (Graham Greene's Catholic Imagination) and considered the relevance of neglected literary theorists (A Theology of Criticism: Balthasar, Postmodernism, and the Catholic Imagination); they have dived deeply into the spiritual aspects of personal and social challenges (Disability and Christian Theology: Embodied Limits and Constructive Possibilities; God and the Victim: Traumatic Intrusions on Grace and Freedom; and The Ethics of Animal Experimentation: A Critical Analysis and Constructive Christian Proposal) and considered the ways modern life is changing our religious practices (Crossing the Ethnic Divide: The Multiethnic Church on a Mission and Coming to the Edge of the Circle: A Wiccan Initiation Ritual).
The benefits for the editor in this scenario are substantial, ranging from the immediate pleasure of helping individuals establish their academic reputations and advance in their careers to the ongoing intellectual stimulation of participating in a larger conversation with people all over the world on topics of actual and lively concern to communities everywhere. Helping to shape conversations in the field in ways that are generative and make a lasting contribution to religious studies (and the lives of individual authors) is immensely gratifying. So, too, is encouraging and championing first-time authors, finding strategies to guide them to express their best thoughts and establish their careers through the publication of their first book. And for an educator like me who is teaching at a school without a graduate program in religious studies, reading the most recent work out of graduate school helps me to stay current and inspired by the developments in religious studies.
The main challenge for the Academy Series editor, as for most editorial positions, is identifying qualified peer readers and reminding them to fulfill their obligations. The stakes in publishing these days are very high and authors deserve to have their work reviewed in a timely manner, but often we find readers who are very recalcitrant or who make promises they find themselves simply unable to fulfill but reluctant to abandon. If nothing else, my experience with the Academy Series has strengthened my resolve to actively participate in the peer review process as long as I am an academic and to persuade my colleagues to do the same.
The demands of peer reviewing, like editing, cover a spectrum of possibilities and problems depending on many factors, including the editor's model for the job, the personality of the author, and the shape of the manuscripts. Some manuscripts arrive for publication consideration in immaculate condition, already well-revised and setting forth a compelling argument in clear prose. Others will be raw dissertations that require a substantial amount of revision before they can be sent out for review. Some authors simply want the editor to be a gatekeeper, while others want every line to be edited in every chapter. Some want encouragement and hand-holding, yet others want a simple business relationship. Sometimes I'll have a dozen manuscripts in the pipeline; other times I'll have none. There are few consistent patterns to observe or formulas to apply as the job is as varied and idiosyncratic as the manuscripts and authors themselves. Yet for every writer, I try to adopt a job description ably set forth by prose stylist James Thurber, "Editing should be a counseling rather than a collaborating task. The tendency of the writer-editor to collaborate is natural, but he should say to himself, 'How can I help this writer to say it better in his own style?' and avoid 'How can I show him how I would write it, if it were my piece?'"
This principle notwithstanding, there is one piece of advice I offer every writer, no matter how prepared. It is a simple dictum from Isaac Bashevis Singer, "The waste basket is a writer's best friend." In writing, as in much of life, less is more; yet this is a difficult principle to advance among recent graduate students who have sweated to become proficient in a content area and who are almost desperate to demonstrate that ability. But as Marianne Moore advocated, "a writer is unfair to himself when he is unable to be hard on himself." When authors understand and apply the power they have to shape their language towards simplicity and clarity, the editorial task becomes especially rewarding and like a good coach I can refrain from calling the play and simply sit back and enjoy the game. Play ball!

How government fails here before 'hang or help'?
The poverty which kills family; then what causes to torment the deceased is the flaws of government economic planning. The minimum daily wages which become the need to the livelihood here when be difficult to earn it or in spite of earning, slips from the hands result suicide.
The caliber to earn by muscles power is difficult nowadays to a man; and if so, mere meager amount is possible. This tension to daily wagers can be reducing, but the corruption endangers to their lives and they become the victim of non access of government welfare schemes.
'To find the death cause is continue' is in news line now, but after finding the reasons behind the incident be no news of Head-line. If the family dies in hunger or of lack in the access of medical support to the prolong illness of family member must be taken in cognizance by human right.
A report from Jodhpur is that four members of family committed suicide under pressure of poverty. That the family hanged his two children; then hanged themselves too because of poverty is shame incident. It was sensational incident of deaths in the area when the police recovered the four bodies.
The family was residing with 3 children in the room built in the fields near Jain temple of Bhkari village in Tanwada. The economic crunch of the family emerges in the preliminary investigation. The inquiry is continue and the police has registered the case.
Kanaram, 45, and his wife Pushpa Devi,40,with the two children were residing in their home built into the fields. The peasants told that Kanaram was suffering with the economic crunch, and his daughter and wife were suffering protracted illness.
They had no money for their treatment. One family member, son, who is alive, was out then. There were no essential food items found during the search operation of their home; consequently police estimated it about that the family may have taken this drastic step.

How comfortable can one live on $55k in blighty these days?
>>>professorial salaries in Cardiff are very good!
Any chance of a ball-park estimate? Just for long-term thinking about returning to blighty.
Here (@Sydney) professorial salaries are part of the union-university negotiations, but are pretty good (approaching $160k Aus – I think a squizz over 90k pounds) – but Sydney is a reasonably expensive city.
[…] two extremely positive items came to light. One is that we will shortly be interviewing for the extra physics posts we advertised some time ago. Hopefully there will be a new Professor and three new lecturers joining the staff in the very near […]

The Molinete. The word "Molinete" comes from the root Spanish word "Molino" which loosely translates to English as 'Grind', or more appropriately, 'Mill', as in a "Windmill". As far as Argentine Tango is concerned the word refers to what is common to most social dances, a 'Grapevine Turn'. This is Tango's version of that turn. 🙂 From a Tango perspective the turn consists of three steps: 1.) A disassociative Backstep. 2.) A circular Side step. 3.) A disassociative Forward step. Typically there is a Side step between the Back and Forward steps, and while you can start with Backstep, you can also start with a Forward step. The Molinete is usually the first turn structure that is taught to every dancer at the beginning as part of their Foundation.
Commonly there are two parts to the Molinete, one for each role. Depending on the disposition of the Molinete and how it's being invoked, there are also two different ways that it can be executed.
The common methodology (#1) is referred to as The Follower's Molinete, meaning that the Follower will take those 3 steps in a circular pattern of steps around their Lead, while the Lead would engage the Lead's Giro at the same time.
The less common methodology (#2) is referred to as The Lead's Molinete. And in this case the Lead (the person) would lead (the action) themselves to take those 3 circular steps around their Follower, while the Follower is free to embellish or adorn (depending on the music) or is being led (at the same time) to rotate over one or both feet.
The Molinete can be done in Open, Close, Vee, or Berlin Embrace. Shown below is the Open Embrace version.

Judge denies lower bond for Gray accomplice
A St. Johns County judge has denied a lower bond for a man charged with helping a Ponte Vedra Beach woman fake her kidnapping and try to extort $50,000 from her husband.
Jasmin Osmanovic, 26, of Jacksonville, has been held on $100,000 bond since he was arrested Sept. 14 and charged with the alleged plot to extort money from the husband of Quinn Hanna Gray.
The alleged victim was arrested two days later and charged with extortion.
Gray, 37, and Osmanovic face 15 years in prison for the second-degree felony.
Defense attorney Henry M. Coxe III, of Jacksonville, told Circuit Judge Wendy W. Berger on Monday that his client's "cooperation from the outset" of the investigation justified a reduced bond.
Osmanovic came in to the sheriff's office and agreed several times to be questioned, Coxe said. His client, an auto shop operator in Jacksonville, turned over records, including some "incriminating to (Gray)."
Quinn Gray's husband, Reid Gray, countered that Osmanovic "presents a clear and present danger to my family" and should remain in jail.
The defendant delivered a "death threat letter" to Gray's house, boasting of his skill as a sniper, Gray told the judge.
In light of the letter, he added, "I believe (Osmanovic) should stay in jail."
Coxe said Reid Gray should not fear his client because the entire plot, including the letter, came from his wife.
Assistant State Attorney Chris France did not specifically object to a lower bond, saying any added conditions would be an improvement.
Berger noted in her order, which was released Wednesday, that Reid Gray "testified that he is in fear of the Defendant and adamantly opposes any reduction in bail, regardless of the imposition of a number of special conditions."
She added that Osmanovic's family indicated they could pay the original $100,000 bond.
Accordingly, Berger wrote, the current bond is reasonable.
Bond for Quinn Gray originally was set at $1 million. Berger reduced the amount to $200,000 after an Oct. 2 hearing and added a host of conditions.
They included electronic GPS monitoring and treatment at an "acute care facility" in Georgia, where she is receiving mental health treatment.
No new court date has been set yet for either defendant.

Why did I write a blog on health privilege? Here's the story! Several months ago, John Novak (a colleague at Inspire) called with one of my favorite questions - "Will you write a guest blog?"
Inspire (an organization offering online patient support communities) and the Mayo Clinic Social Media Network collaborated to create a new blog series, Experts by Experience. He asked if I wanted to write a piece for it.
It was an easy and obvious "yes."
I brainstormed for several weeks looking for a topic to fall from the sky.
But I was stuck.
None of my brainstormed ideas took root. One day it hit me: I needed to search deeper.
Reflecting upon my patient experience and many counseling sessions, I identified an issue to write about. It was one I wrestle with privately, but never publicly - "health privilege."
What is Health Privilege?
Most people feel uncomfortable discussing privilege. Understanding and discussing it can be healing and helpful (for those who do and don't hold the privilege).
Privilege isn't only about the color of our skin. Privilege touches gender, income level, family structure and even our health (to name a few).
When I understood my struggles stemmed from losing my "health privilege" when I was diagnosed with cancer, the world made sense again.
I hope you'll read the post I wrote for Mayo Clinic - how I came to understand and cope with the loss of my "health privilege." And, leave a comment if you have a similar story!
Coping With Loss of the Health Privilege
Guest Blogging
If you'd like for me to write a guest blog for your website, please contact me! I focus my guest posts on topics involving all issues related to surviving cancer, adoption and infertility, and encouragement for others who believe and practice a Christian faith.

Shamsuddin's Grave :The Story of A Homeless by Paromita Goswami is a Literary Fiction. This book talks about the hardships a normal man goes through in order to survive in this money making world. The story of emotions, betrayal, struggles, love, friendship that moves the reader and all these emotions can be felt by him while reading this piece. I got this book as a part of blogtour The Book Club. Let me go into the lines for you guys:
Cover– The white colour cover along with an amazing picture fills the reader with curiosity to know more about it. While analysing, I could say that the cover looked sorted and from reading, it could be said that the story is sorted and to the point too.
Title– The title gives us a rough idea that the book would be related to history as the name Shamsuddin is mentioned. But, all our notions are proved wrong when we start reading the book.
Blurb– Latika's wrecked personal front leaves her completely shattered. So when her ailing father reveals his desire to go back home, she doesn't think twice and moves to her hometown. She joins an NGO and comes across a teenager rape victim. Much against her TL, Debjyoti's wish she sets out to trace the girl with Shamsuddin's help. Will she succeed or end up in big trouble?
Shamsuddin, a daily labourer, somehow manages to thrive in the city. Meanwhile, flood devastates his house in the village. His family takes refuge in a relative's place where his wife has a tough time resisting to the advances of her brother-in-law. Can Shamsuddin arrange for an accommodation before it is too late?
Set in Guwahati amid the backdrop of flood and ethnic turmoil,"Shamsuddin's Grave", is the story of migration towards big cities for a better life.
Plot– The plot of the story is well knit and the story revolves around Shamsuddin's Journey from his birth to his death and his struggle of surviving in the society is being delineated. Further, it also talks about Latika and Snehlata's life, who are the two most significant women protagonists in this novel.
Themes– There are variety of themes in this novel and it makes the reader love the book more. HUman trafficking is one of the significant theme of this novel. This novel highlights those stigmas that actually affect a person deeply. In these book, this concept is highlighted and a girl is shown as the victim of such injustice where she is molested and later on trafficked.
Poverty is another theme that is focussed. Shamsuddin is the victim of poverty who has to leave his family in search of job where he works hard but ends uo ruining his family.
Family breakups is another one where Shamsuddin's family is broken when he comes to know about Amina's marriage. Further, LAtika and her husband's breakup is also showcased.
Religion is also one of the theme where we come across Muslims who are ill treated and some of the people of different community are considered to be living illegally.
Illicit relations is one such theme which is not that important but can't be ignored at the same time. Shamsuddin's relation with Geeta and Amina's relation with her brother in law are being shown in the novel.
Characterisation– Usually an author selects his protagonist as a strong one who is financially stable or of middle class stature but Paromita seems to be exceptional in her choice of protagonist. She picked up a nobody from a lower strata who could hardly earn his bread and butter. Shamsuddin's life is a struggle and trust me guys, I could feel this struggle.I cried when he cried, I smiled when he smiled, I was hurt when he was hurt. So, yes, this is the magical iteration of the author who put soul to such a character that even the reader could feel those emotions.
Debjyoti's character was a roller coaster ride for me. I thought he was a professional freak but he came out to be a lover boy and that was not expected. So, it was a surprise element for me. He proved out to be an amazing father for Kuki and I loved the child's role.
The woman protagonists are no less. I really loved Latika's portrayal. The way she carried herself, the calm and composure, that break down was remarkable. Even Snehlata stood out to be a darling character.
I also loved the cameo role of the aunt who lived in Shillong. I could sense her emotions when she lamented for her children. A keen desire to meet her children is all that a mother wanted but died without even hearing a word from them. Maybe, The author wanted to show us this side of life too.
Inspired from Premchand's Godan– While reading this book, I could co- relate this book from Premchand's Godan who attempted a style of making a common farmer his protagonist and here we notice Shamsuddin, a common man is the protagonist. When I had a word with the author, she was surprised to know this as she has not read it.
Style– The author has a magical style of writing as it binds the readers to the end and we don't mind the length of the novel. The narration, descriptions were simply spectacular. Some lines touched my heart and especially the kiddish lines of KUki were icing on the cake. The author chose correct words for the emotions which came out to be fruitful. I would say this book didn't sound like the first attempt of the author.
As we know 'Every coin has a flip side', this book also had one. The names of Shamsuddin and Nayanmoni were mispelled at some places. But we can't forget the unique things of the book. So, for me this book is like a moon that has few spots, then do we stop admiring the moon? No.. So, give that love to this book also.

Are Your Plumbing Pipes In Good Condition?
It's not always easy to tell when your plumbing pipes are in trouble. Of course, a burst pipe or an intolerable sewage odor will leave you calling for plumbing service quickly. But you should also look out for some of the more subtle signs that a pipe may have a leak. Pay attention to the water pressure in your shower and from your sinks. If you notice a significant drop in water pressure, it may be due to a small leak in a pipe which is wasting water and could end up damaging the foundation of your home. You may also detect a leak if you notice water spots on the walls or ceilings or a musty smell in the home. Look for pooling water in the yard and areas where the grass seems unusually green.
We Offer Pipe Repair, Pipe Installation, and Repiping
As soon as you suspect that there may be a leak in your plumbing system, call one of our experts. Our plumbers carry leak detection equipment which can help them to track down the exact source of the problem. If it turns out that your older pipes are in need of replacement, we also offer professional repiping services. However, we only recommend repiping when it is absolutely necessary for the well-being of your plumbing pipes.
From small repairs to new pipe installation, our experts do it all. We know how important it is that all plumbing components are in top shape, which is why we take time with any installation or repair and look over our work carefully before we leave.

Collier County tourism numbers show a grim May. Why tourism officials are cautiously optimistic
The latest visitor statistics for Collier County are grim.
Numbers released Monday showed the severe impact of the coronavirus pandemic on tourism, one of the county's leading industries, with nearly 100,000 fewer visitors in May.
But tourism officials said they are an improvement from April, so there's reason for cautious optimism, with the economy opening back up in Florida.
Similar statistics aren't available in Lee County, but its tourism industry is also suffering from the impacts of the pandemic. The next report — done quarterly — won't be out for a few months.
The latest monthly report for Collier County from Tampa-based Research Data Services was shared during Monday's Tourist Development Council.
Collier saw a more than 66% drop in visitation in May, when compared to the same month last year.
The county reported 49,300 visitors staying in hotels or other vacation rentals last month, down from 146,400 a year ago.
Meanwhile, visitor spending fell by nearly 67% last month year over year — to less than $62 million from more than $188 million.
Occupancy came in at just 25.6% last month, with some of the county's resorts and hotels still closed — or seeing little to no business due to COVID-19, said Ann Wittine, director of data analysis for Research Data Services.
Why some restaurants have stayed closed:With lowered capacity and safety concerns, some SWFL restaurants choose to keep dining rooms closed amid pandemic
However, she pointed out that occupancy had improved markedly since April, when it stood at a mere 8.2%.
The average daily rate also improved in May, growing to $190.77, up from $173.98 the previous month, which Wittine described as a good sign.
Once prices drop, she said, it can be difficult to build them back up again.
In a survey, Research Data Services found that 40% of Collier's hotels and resorts were either closed or had no occupancy in April. That compared to 15% in May, when the state began easing its coronavirus-related restrictions, which encouraged Floridians to stay at home and closed or severely limited the operations of nonessential businesses for weeks.
While hotels were treated as essential businesses under the governor's order, many hoteliers in Collier County and across Southwest Florida interpreted it to mean they couldn't or shouldn't take any new reservations, while others shut down because business became so slow that it didn't make economic sense to keep the doors open.
While there were moves in the right direction, Collier tourism director Jack Wert said "one month doesn't make a trend," so he's feeling "cautiously optimistic right now," especially as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow in Southwest Florida — and statewide.
"We really need to see what effect on June numbers we might get from this uptick in the number of cases in Florida," he said.
On Monday, the state reached a grim milestone, hitting and surpassing 100,000, with nearly 3,000 new coronavirus cases reported.
The pandemic hasn't just stopped people from taking vacations, it's also led to cancellations of group meetings and events.
A separate report by tourism research firm STR showed how the coronavirus pandemic has hurt the groups and meetings business across Florida, especially in Southwest Florida.
In May, the occupancy for group business fell by 98.5% in Collier County — or the Naples area — and by 97.2% in the Fort Myers area — or Lee County — year over year. Competitive markets in Florida also saw huge declines, including Sarasota-Bradenton, Clearwater and St. Petersburg.
Will tourism rebound?:Tourists will return to Southwest Florida, but it will never be the same
Research Data Services also shared year-to-date statistics, for January through May, for Collier, showing the wider impacts from COVID-19 on the county.
Here's what the metrics look like for the first five months of this year, compared to the same months a year ago:
- 633,000 visitors, down 32.6%
- 821,300 room nights booked, down 31.9%
- $809,713,100 in total spending, down 36.6%
Another report by STR shows occupancy falling by 49 percent for the months of January to May in Collier year over year — and an even bigger drop in Lee County at 53.8%
Although Lee County's next report on visitor statistics won't be out for a few months, the most recent one for January through March, showed how a possible record quarter was ambushed by COVID-19, causing double-digit drops in visitor numbers, room nights booked and total tourism spending.
Lee and Collier have both launched phased marketing campaigns to help the tourism industry recover, but they're taking their messaging slow and easy.
Lee County has moved from the waiting to the ready phase, with plans to roll out a "Know the Feeling" marketing campaign over the next few weeks.
"It aims to provide vacation inspiration, as well as invoke feelings of hope and positivity for travelers looking to get away as the pandemic's effects begin to subside," said Timothy Engstrom, a county spokesman, via email.
In the campaign, he said, potential visitors will be reminded of the area's appeal — and desire to have them back when they're ready and feel safe to travel.
In late March, Collier launched a "soft messaging" campaign, primarily targeting drive markets in Florida — markets where visitors are likely to drive, rather than fly to Southwest Florida for a vacation — such as Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando and West Palm Beach. The digital campaign includes several videos, including one called "Let's Dine Out," encouraging locals and visitors alike to eat out (or at least order out for curb-side pick or delivery).
In early July, Collier will launch the second phase of its digital-only recovery campaign, designed to show how the destination has been preparing for the safe return of visitors to the area — also known as the Paradise Coast.
No emergency dollars have been tapped for special advertising or marketing yet in Lee or Collier counties to deal with the severe impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, but it may reach that point soon.
"We would anticipate the board of county commissioners considering additional marketing dollars when it makes sense and provides a good return on the investment," Engstrom said.
Flea markets see customers flee:After reopening to fewer customers, flea market vendors worry about sustaining business during pandemic
In Collier, Wert said, there are plans to ask county commissioners for $500,000 in emergency marketing dollars in mid-July to help pay for the second phase of the recovery campaign, which is expected to run until September.
Typically, both counties see more visitors coming from other parts of Florida in the summer. They expect to see more of that happening — and fewer visitors from out of state or out of the country than usual — over the coming months because of coronavirus fears and restrictions on travel that still exist elsewhere in the United States and abroad.
Southwest Florida International Airport has taken a big blow from the pandemic, due to travel restrictions and the slump in travel demand, leading to scores of empty seats on airplanes. Some startling statistics were shared at Monday's Tourist Development Council meeting.
In April, 53,379 passengers traveled through the airport — compared to more than 1.1 million in the same month a year ago.
Will jobs rebound?:Third-quarter jobs outlook gets grimmer for Cape Coral, Fort Myers
Numbers did improve in May, growing to a little over 143,000, but that was down from more than 725,000 passengers seen in the same month last year.
"All airlines are operating with the exception of the international carriers," said Victoria Moreland, a spokeswoman for the Fort Myers Airport, via email. "No flights are permitted transborder so Air Canada and WestJet are not flying to RSW and no flights from Germany, so Eurowings is not operating."
On Monday, the Lee County Port Authority, which owns and operates the airport, introduced the Stay Safe — RSW Cares About You program to spread the word about what it's doing to keep tourists, employees and other airport visitors safe.
Some of the most noticeable changes? The addition of hand sanitizer stations, social distancing signage, announcements and floor markers throughout the terminal and plexiglass shields at counters and other customer touchpoints.
"The Lee County Port Authority has always been committed to serving travelers with high standards of cleanliness, well-being and care, and now, more than ever, we are working with our airlines and business partners to develop enhanced standards for airport operations," said Ben Siegel, the authority's acting executive director, in a statement.
More details about the airport's new initiatives can be found at flylcpa.com, as well as on its social media platforms, including Facebook.

Copenhagen based multidisciplinary design studio SPACE has just finished their restaurant project Geist, which is the brain-child of Michelin starred chef Bo Bech. SPACE worked closely with the chef to make sure that the interior design of the restaurant reflected the relaxed nature of the cuisine, whilst capturing the wild and flamboyant universe of Bo Bech.
A typical part of the restaurant interior is the relaxed bar area where guests can enjoy an intimate supper. SPACE also created the Spine high chair especially for Geist.
We work very closely with every chef on our projects, and the interiors of Geist are wild and flamboyant. The design concept was all about contrasts. We wanted the restaurant to be dynamic & calm in both space , texture, color and materials. It is a modern design that has a nostalgic tone. It is an artistic space that retains its playfulness and is simultaneously rough and yet refined, says Signe Bindslev Henriksen and Peter Bundgaard Rützou of SPACE.
Geist is a wonderful example of SPACE'S intrinsic ability to combine traditional Danish design values into a modern arena.

A new study shows that injured workers who are receiving prescription medication directly from their physician are a much more common scenario than workers who use pharmacies for prescription drug purchases.
While the convenience of having necessary medicine dispensed by your doctor may be a good idea for some injured workers, the reality is that cost of doctor-dispensed pills is much more expensive for employers. The Workers Compensation Research Institute has found that doctors typically charge higher prices for medications than pharmacies do in many cases.
Research conducted by the Institute found one prescription drug example where costs were significantly higher. The price of Vicodin tablets quadrupled when patients received them directly from their doctor. An average cost of a Vicodin tablet at the pharmacy ranged around 36-cents for each pill compared to a $1.48 per pill price tag at a physician's office.
The Institutes study included workers compensation prescriptions for 23 states in the US where 5.7 million prescriptions were paid out of the workers comp system. Additional data learned from the study included the tendency for doctor-disbursed prescription increased over time while the prices for pharmacy prescriptions often fell for certain medications more often given out by doctors in-office.

Volkswagen Grille Guards
Volkswagen Model
Many accidents hit the road everyday, which do not only hurt lives, but also leave the vehicles dilapidated. If air bags are for people, then grille guard is for the cars or trucks. The majority of Volkswagen Grill Guards are made with stainless steel tubing, so they are light and they look great. Stainless steel is also great because it will stand up to the test of time and generally will not rust and is very resistant. Chrome grille guards are like a crown in many ways. They are a sign of royalty, they cover the head of your Volkswagen, they are powerful, and they let the masses know that you mean business. If you take your truck out on the trail, then grille guards may also be called brush guards or bull bar.
These are several names for the same purpose. Whether you drive in the woods or the highway, the most important thing is that you get a quality Bull Bars made out of chrome. Protecting your truck with quality parts will help you achieve the goal of duration and it will make your truck a unique king of the road for many years to come. When you're in the market for a truck grille guard, there are a few things to bear in mind. The first is that you should only purchase grille guards that are designed to fit your Volkswagen model. This eliminates the need for drilling new holes in the underside of the vehicle and provides a perfect fit for your new push bar. The second thing that you need to look for is a complete package, if you want your Volkswagen Grill Guards with all the options, including a skid plate as it provides protection below the engine, as well as in front of the truck.
About VOLKSWAGEN
As the 1980s settled in, the Golf (or Rabbit in North America) became the most visible Volkswagen vehicle on the market. Other models such as the already-established Passat and newcomers like the Jetta helped keep the VW name afloat during a period in which the company's sales rating would fluctuate. Sales were low in the US but actually improved in the UK. Come the nineties, the Beetle saw a sleek redesign of traditional Volkswagen parts, giving it smooth edges and contemporary appeal. As the '90s drew to a close, the resurgence of the Jetta along with acquisitions of elite luxury names Lamborghini, Bentley, and Bugatti gave the automaker more reach in a large variety of segments. The fifth-generation Golf was introduced in 2002 and the same year, the suave Touareg also rolled off the line as a fashionable, accommodating SUV. Volkswagen's numbers began a steady climb in the US, as well. With the release of the elegantly-styled Phaeton and the hardtop convertible Eos, VW has re-asserted itself as a brand-name that delivers classy vehicles which offer both smooth performance and reliability.
The infamous Volkswagen Beetle went into full production in the late '40s and would find its way to American shores in 1949. By 1955, over a million units of the vehicle and Volkswagen parts had been produced at the Wolfsburg factory, entrenching it as an overseas favorite. Shrewd advertising kept the Beetle surging as the '60s came into view and Volkswagen ads were as popular as the cars. This marketing campaign led to the company being able to attract a younger demographic who couldn't afford the more costly domestic full-size sedans or by this time, pony-cars that were also starting to become a presence. By the early '70s, the VW Beetle had topped the legendary Ford Model T in overall production. This decade also ushered in the premier of the Passat and the Golf (the Rabbit in North America). Sporting a front-mounted, water-cooled engine, these cars were compact, sporty, and reliable. With Beetle sales starting to lag, VW needed a boost and the arrivals of the Passat and Golf, respectively, provided it.
Designed by famed engineer Ferdinand Porsche, the very first Volkswagen was conceived to be a compact, economical answer for the everyday German citizen. Full-size luxury models were the norm in Germany during the 1930s, leaving many of the population unable to afford to a vehicle of their own. Hitler requested that a more consumer-friendly car be developed in order to stimulate the economy and started a state-sanctioned factory in order to proceed with production. It would be named the KdF-wagen, an abbreviation for "Joy through Strength", the Nazi party's slogan. However, production was delayed due to WWII, during which the factory took considerable damage. The British Army assumed command of the plant following the war as an occupying force. The facility would remain operational thanks in large part to British military interests, but as forces began to leave Europe, the company's situation was in doubt. Volkswagen was offered to France, Britain, and the US. All three rejected it.

what kind of filtering rule can achieve this ?
the only way I find out is to set firewall to low security
