What is One Health?
One Health is an approach that acknowledges the interactions between human and animal health are inextricably linked, and interdependent to the health of the surrounding ecosystem. These interactions offer opportunities for the emergence and spread of disease agents, such as chemicals, pathogens, and toxins, that could adversely impact animal health, human health, or both.
In recent years, the One Health concept has gained more recognition in both public health and animal health communities. In 2008, it became an international political reality as a recommended approach for fighting emerging and zoonotic infectious diseases. And, although the buzzword "One Health" is fairly new, the concept has long been recognized, dating back to around 400 BC with Hippocrates' "On Airs, Waters, and Places". Predicting, preventing, and tracking infectious disease emergence is extremely difficult, but ultimately necessary: nearly 60% of human diseases originate in animals, including 75% of all diseases that have emerged in the last two decades.
Animals, humans, and diseases
In our more densely populated, globalized world, humans and animals interact with greater frequency and intimacy. Many familiar diseases posing a serious risk to public health, such as avian influenza, rabies, brucellosis, and Lyme disease, come from animals. Even diseases that are mainly transmitted from person to person circulate in animals or have an animal reservoir, such as the recent epidemic of Ebola virus.
Beyond infections, the biological similarities between people and animals mean that we also suffer from similar medical conditions such as heart disease and cancer. These similarities allow for the development of translational treatment approaches between animals and humans that are safe and beneficial for both species. For example, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a trial for experimental cancer therapy in children based on the success of a trial in dogs with the same type of cancer.
One Health isn't just relevant to shared illnesses, however. There are unique socioeconomic and sociopolitical dynamics surrounding each disease that we face. A One Health approach is necessary for improving the welfare of both animals and humans.
One of the most significant changes in our society is the need to rapidly increase our stock of food animals to feed the quickly expanding human population. Mankind is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050; as a result, the demand for animal protein will increase by 70%. This demand has led professionals involved in agriculture, veterinary medicine, and public health to recognize the field of "veterinary public health" as a key area for providing safe and reliable food sources to feed the world. This field is aimed at addressing the complexities of the human-animal interface, and controlling zoonotic pathogens at their animal source, which is the most effective and economic way of protecting people.
Recent news that the deadly, incurable disease African swine fever (ASF) has reached Belgium has put a renewed focus on the importance of animal health research. The discovery of this highly contagious disease in two wild boars found dead has sparked calls for a mass cull of the species to protect Western Europe's pork industry. To date, the virus has been confirmed in 75 wild boars. ASF was last seen in Belgium in 1985, which required the culling of 30,000 pigs in order to control the outbreak.
While ASF poses no direct risk to human health, its rapid spread will drive pork prices higher and may even cause a shortage. The virus can also survive in key feed ingredients, which often results in negative consequences to the cost and safety of pig feed. Ultimately, in an expanding global population, a single virus affecting a single species can have detrimental impacts on our food supply.
Moving One Health Forward
One Health requires a multidisciplinary and integrative effort to attain optimal health for people, animals, and the environment. This paradigm shift means education programs must facilitate collaboration across disciplines. Luckily, an increasing number of veterinary schools and animal science programs have dedicated veterinary public health and research programs. However, their visibility must increase, and funding agencies need to keep investing in this holistic approach.
One Health initiatives also need to engage and educate the public using easily communicable resources such as PreventEpidemics.org, a division of Resolve to Save Lives, an initiative of Vital Strategies led by Dr. Tom Frieden. This tool clearly displays each country's ability to find, stop and prevent epidemics, and aims to empower people who want to make their community safer.

I'm not usually very productive on a Saturday but today has been a day of firsts that's for sure. First of all I was up and dressed and out of the house by 9.15am to get to my very first sewing lesson. I went with some friends to the charming shop and workroom of Guthrie & Ghani in Moseley. We went to learn the basics but came away with rather beautiful and quite professional looking cushion covers. The actual workshop is totally stunning with high ceilings, exposed beams and lovely homemade decorations.
Afterwards we had lunch at Damascena which specialises in middle eastern food and pastries. Luckily we were all hungry as the food was plentiful and delicious. I intended to take two pieces of baklava home but ate them before we even left the shop.
I arrived home inspired by my creative morning but sadly lacking a sewing machine I couldn't practice my new skills, so returned to baking and made a little tray of baklava (another first). I adapted a recipe I found in one of my cook books and here it is.
150 g shelled pistachio nuts plus a few extra to scatter over the top
1 tsp ground cinnamon
200 g ready-made filo pastry
100 g butter, melted
150 ml water
175 g caster sugar
70 ml clear honey
1 sticks cinnamon, or 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Zest of an orange (I used a drop of orange essence as I didn't have an orange in the house)
1-2 tsp rose water
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4.
2. Grind the nuts in a food processor until coarsely ground, then mix in the ground cinnamon.
3. Using a pastry brush, lightly butter a 8" x 6" tin or ovenproof dish. Unfold the filo pastry, covering it immediately with a damp clean tea towel to stop it drying out and cracking.
4. Start layering the sheets of filo pastry into the dish, brushing each sheet with melted butter before placing the next layer on top. After five layers, scatter over one-third of the crushed pistachios.
5. Repeat step 4 another two times and add then cover with five more layers of pastry. Butter the top of the last layer and cut into small diamonds or squares.
6. Bake in the middle shelf of the oven for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp,reducing the temperature to 170C/gas 3 during cooking if the baklava looks as though it is browning too quickly.
7. For the syrup: place all the syrup ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced by one-third. Stir occasionally, then leave to cool.
8. Remove the baklava from the oven and spoon half the cooked syrup all over the top. Leave for five minutes, then spoon over the remaining syrup. Finely chop the remaining pistachio nuts and scatter over the top. Allow the baklava to cool completely before removing the individual pieces from the dish with a palette knife. Serve.
The bunnies also had a lovely day. They discovered my herb garden and sheared the tops off all the mint and the pretty little flowers. I spent all afternoon trying to stop them getting back in as now they know where all the good stuff is!

Who am I? – I keep asking myself this question.
I already saw my emotions rushing and subsiding, like waves of the sea. I saw my wounds and their guardians – my fears. They come to the surface for me to see them and pass away. They all have enormous amount of energy which sustains them and look so real to me sometimes. And though they seem so real in one moment, the other moment comes and they go away. Leaving a space. And a question arises again and again: who am I? Where is true me?
And I cant see an answer, I cant get hold of this… simply, cant identify it. I cant touch it, cant see it, cant feel it. What is it, this space of nothing? Unidentifiable nothingness…
And yet it is that space where I get renewed, its where I long to go back. This is the place where all my searching in my life leading me to. It seems all my challenges and my desires, my triumphs and failures point me to only one thing, this space inside me.

As millions of homeless keep craving for a refuge, home is, undeniably, one of the most basic human needs that demand a proper solution. Hoping to provide one to all, Fresno architect Art Dyson collaborates with California State University and has come up with emergency shelters made from recycled stuff.
A team of 50 interior design and construction management students created small houses with wood pallets, cardboard, scrap lumber and can lids, as part of their spring semester project. The house includes central bath and cooking facilities, and asks people to produce eatables or daily supplies. Thus, aside from providing shelter to those needy ones, the homeless shelter project also seeks to make them self-reliant and reduce trash from landfills.

And here we go again:
An idea liked by many? https://t.co/Ev9uqa1hoj
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2019
The tell, as always, is whenever our Stable Genius says that something is liked by many. Many being many members of the Trump Crime Family.
"But what is this thing," you ask.
The article that Prznint Stupid re-Tweeted from Steve Forbes is written by Grover Norquist an Ayatollah Ted Cruz. In the article, Norquist & Cruz (worst accounting firm ever) urge Prznint McDeals to bypass congress and just give rich people ANOTHER tax cut because: why not?
"How would this work?," you ask.
If you invest $1M Ameros (in stocks, real estate, even art) and cash out your ill-gotten gains five years later for $10 million, then you owe the government a capital gains tax based on the $9M Ameros you "earned." (And to paraphrase Fran Lebowitz, no one "earns" $9M — you steal it.)
Under the tax cut plan Trump tweeted, you would adjust the value of the initial investment (the $1M Ameros) for five years' worth of inflation. Let's say that inflation makes that initial $1M now worth $6M (for exaggeration purposes only)—now your capital gain is "only" $4M Ameros so you owe the government a lot less in taxes!
"I can now drown the gubmint in the bathtub," Grover did not giggle while playing with his rubber ducky.
"Can he do that," you ask incredulously.
"Efforts to peg gains from the sale of investments like stocks, artwork and real estate — which are currently taxed at a lower rate than other income — face one major hurdle in the form of a 1992 opinion by the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel that bars the executive branch from indexing on its own.
"The White House said last year that Trump had asked the Treasury to look into easing the capital gains tax, though the department has long maintained it does not have the legal authority to alter the tax.
"Trump said last week he believed that he could index capital gains unilaterally, "but I would need a letter from the attorney general."
So we're depending upon strategic hire AG Bill 'Low' Barr to say Nyet to our Grifter-in-Chief, the Chosen one, King of the Jews, Cheeto Christ Stupid-Czar? We're totally eff'ed in the dark.
And who would benefit, what would this do?
"A 2018 analysis by the University of Pennsylvania found that the majority of the benefits from indexing capital gains would go to the top 1 percent of earners.
"The senior administration official said the White House was being mindful of any perception they were trying to benefit the wealthy, in addition to any impact on the swelling federal deficit."
The economy is weakening, and all the Republicans can think to do to stimulate the economy is give their donors even more money. Of course, this is all that they think about, they have no other policies to speak of.
Even if Prznint Stupid is worried about the optics of this plan to do it before the 2020 Goat Rodeo, he's showing us that he likes the idea, and will do it if he wins a second term.
And you better believe that he'll cut the social safety net to pay for it. Afterall, it's gonna cost a lot of money to give Tiff the Ivanka-style plastic surgery she needs so he won't be so ashamed to be seen with her.

When you try to delete a big number of files in a directory of thousands using:
rm *
You'll get an error. Linux complains about "Argument list too long". Issue this command from a directory where files are located to get rid of them:
find . -exec rm {} \;
If you want to delete a large number of cache files, without deleting them all, the best way is to delete the files that were not recently accessed. Say you want to keep the popular cache hits which were accessed in the last 5 days and remove older files, your command would be:
find . -atime +5 -exec rm {} \;
If you try to use a wildcard when using find, you'll be limited to the maximum number of pages your argument list can accept, which is a kernel limit. So, to work around this, I created a subdirectory for each cache group so I can use a directory name as the first parameter of find. The following example deletes items from cache which were not accessed in more than 4 days. This Something like this:
find /www/site/ci/system/cache/khcache/ -atime +4 -exec rm {} \;
Previously, I was using a wildcarded 'find' which was failing:
find /www/site/ci/system/cache/khcache_* -atime +4 -exec rm {} \;
Don't forget to fix your cache directory setting in your configuration files.

Mario Kart 7[1] (previously titled Mario Kart) is a racing game for the Nintendo 3DS, and an installment in the Mario Kart series. Developed by Nintendo EAD and Retro Studios, the latter who helped on aspects such as character and course design [2], the game was released December 1, 2011 in Japan, December 2 in Europe, December 3 in Australia, and December 4 in North America.
It was later released as a digital download on the Nintendo eShop October 4, 2012 in Europe, October 18 in North America, and November 1 in Japan. [3] [4] As of January 26, 2012, the game has sold 4.5 million units globally, becoming the second best-selling 3DS game. [5] [6] [7] [8]
The title was promoted at the 2011 Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, where life-sized karts from the game, Mario's standard vehicle and Luigi's Bumble V were displayed for people to view and take photos with from November 18 through the 27th. [9] [10] An update for the game entitled "Mario Kart 7 Version 1.1" was released on the Nintendo eShop on May 15, 2012, fixing shortcut exploits found in 3 courses (online only). The patch is required in order to play online. [11] [12] [13] [14]
The game includes up to 8 player multiplayer play, both offline and online, with features like Grand Prix, Time Trials. Coin Runners and Balloon Battles. The graphics are also similar to Mario Kart Wii with the addition of the 3D stereoscopic capabilities, which enhance the depth while driving on racecourses. It also brings a "bunch of new elements" to the series. [15] Such new elements include the ability to use air gliders, which can be useful for navigating through the air, and the ability to drive underwater. Players can also change to first-person gameplay, which allows one to steer the kart using motion control by shifting the 3DS system.
Coins return, which have not been featured since Mario Kart: Super Circuit for Game Boy Advance. The option to select classic Mario Kart tracks is also available again in this game. In addition, players may now assemble their own karts, rather than select pre-set karts as in older Mario Kart games. Players can now select the body of the kart, the wheels, and other additional accessories such as the glider. Some parts need to be unlocked before they can be used.
Mario Kart 7 features sixteen new courses, but some of the past courses making a return have had the underwater sections added to them. StreetPass is used to exchange ghost data with people that you pass on the street. You also can use that data to register that person as your friend on the system itself and proceed to play online with them.
The new Community feature allows players to create groups with other Mario Kart fans while setting up specific rules to make customized racing environments. Easy setup allows players to quickly create a community and share with others via the StreetPass™ feature. Community leaderboards will also show the most up-to-date information from recent races. [16]
Walking by other Mario Kart 7 players in real life with StreetPass enabled allows gamers to exchange racing scores, win/loss records, number of collected coins and other game data. With SpotPass enabled, players will be able to receive ghost data to race against. Up to seven ghosts can be downloaded at the same time, allowing for a full eight-player race. [17]

Mario Kart 7 sold between 420,000 to 450,000 copies during its first week in Japan. These sales and Super Mario 3D Land's sales have impacted hardware sales too, as Nintendo reports the 3DS will soon cross three million hardware units sold in Japan and they expect it to reach the four million mark before its one year anniversary. [21]
The game has mainly received positive reviews from video game critics.
Famitsu gave the game its first review, a 37/40, saying "The game's made so you're always able to stage a comeback, making it approachable and enjoyable for anyone. Competing for time is also exciting, and there's more than enough room for hardcore play here. The Community feature makes netplay a lot more accessible than before, and finding opponents via StreetPass is also impressive. It's really exciting to think how the Community is going to unfold. There are a lot of changes here, but play it and it's definitely still Mario Kart. That goes to show how complete a game it's become. It's accessible enough that even new players can enjoy it, and when you get into it, you really get into it." [22]
Gameblog gave the game a 100, stating "With almost ten years of thrilling races behind them, even the most fine-tuned racing fireballs can show signs of fatigue. But rather than risking a break-down, Nintendo was smart enough to dismantle its Mario Kart core formula in order to correctly refreshen each and every one of its clogs before putting them back together. As an added bonus, the mechanic repainted it nicely and added some of the latest technologies. The end result roars at soon as the engine starts, and promises to run nicely for quite some time thanks to solid online features." [23]
Modojo too gave it the highest score they had, reason being "It's ... the greatest handheld Mario Kart yet, and a welcome addition to a phenomenal series." [24] Game Radar also gave it a 100, stating "Mario Kart 7 is THE game the 3DS has been in dire need of. Sadly, it raises the bar so high for almost everything else, most 3DS games don't even look like they belong on the same system." [25]
Computer and Video Games gave it a 94, stating "As complete a racing game as you could hope to play. All that's good about the previous Karts, distilled and mixed with a trillion ideas of its own. Excellent." [26] Official Nintendo Magazine gave it a 93, reason being "[It's] the best Mario Kart game yet with an online platform that'll keep you racing for years." [27]
Game Revolution, who gave it a 91, said "You've got to own this game if you've got a Nintendo 3DS. If you find a shiny new 3D handheld under the Christmas tree, don't hesitate to pick this game up. It'll surely prove to suck hours and hours of your system's diminutive battery life away, but once you plug in, you won't want to put it down." [28]
GamingXP gave it a 90, saying "After Super Mario 3D Land, Nintendo has another hardware seller in Mario Kart 7. While Super Mario 3D Land redefined 3D jump'n'runs, Mario Kart 7 sets also new standards for fun and arcade racers. Mario Kart 7 offers the deepest multiplayer experience in the franchise, but that's not all. It's the cool mix of good old features and fresh gameplay elements, which makes the game so cool." [29]
Cheat Code Central also gave it a 90, stating "With a good amount of unlockable content and plenty of multiplayer options, this is a biggest and deepest Mario Kart experience yet." [30] Nintendo Power gave it a 90, reason being "Mario Kart 7 certainly delivers on that [novelty] front with some excellent track design, the solid controls that we've come to expect from the series, and some worthwhile additions (like added items and the ability to fly.)"
Edge Magazine gave it a 90 as well, and said "Nintendo has clearly been experimenting with how to better exploit its system's obvious potential, and its solution is a natural, graceful implementation of 3D that complements and even improves its games, rather than feeling tacked on." [31] Joystiq called it "an exquisitely polished game with few flaws." [32]
In the "Maka Wuhu" course, there is a glitch that allows players to skip quite far ahead in a race, which has gained negative backlash from the community, as it presents an unfair advantage online when racing on this course. At first, Nintendo had no plans on fixing this glitch, but on May 15, 2012, Nintendo released a patch for Mario Kart 7 on the Nintendo eShop entitled "Mario Kart 7 Version 1.1," fixing the glitch alongside removing shortcut exploits from 2 other courses (applied only when racing those courses online, but however, you can still perform the shortcuts offline in Single Player mode). The update is required to play online.

Figured that I'd increase his capabilities by introducing a George Foreman grill. He was game. We took it on it's maiden voyage today for lunch. Figured I'd make a batch of my smash burgers and run it through it's paces. He was in the midst of each step. Small countertop...I manned the cutting board......he manned the grill. Usual suspects gathered.... He devoured the first thing to come off this grill.....to slices of bacon. More followed...... Ankle-biters emerged as soon as bacon started being cooked...... The smash burgers were too large for the Foreman.......made a mess of them. The thing cooks onions and bacon like a champ, though !!!!!!!! 7 KismetKamado, CeramicChef, freddyjbbq and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The goal is to design a program that can be a model for other churches and organizations to offer help for the hurting in every community.
Instead of offering ridicule, lets help those in need.
The Hope Initiative is a new ministry of Faith Church. We noticed a need in our community and we are responding to it. Please join us to learn more information, help us or get help.

Controversy surrounds new film about serial killer, Ted Bundy, starring Zac Efron.
February 4, 2019
With the recent release of Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapeson Netflix, and the premiere of Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile at the Sundance Film Festival at the end of January, it seems that no matter where you look, there is someone talking about the infamous killer. The biggest topic of conversation is about whether or not Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is a true-to-life biopic or an over-sexualized romanticizing of a man who has admitted to killing 30 people.
Seeing as how movies from Sundance usually aren't released to the general public until several months after the festival, most of the country has been required to form their judgements off the trailer alone – so that's what we'll be working with as well. For background, Extremely Wicked is based on a 1981 book called The Phantom Prince: My Life with Ted Bundy by Elizabeth Kendall – the pen name of Elizabeth Kloepfer. Kloepfer was Ted Bundy's lover and fiancé for over six years, and her book is a memoir of her time with him.
From what I've seen circling the internet, there seems to always be the same few arguments popping up from those with negative reactions to the trailer. The biggest, most often cited complaint against this movie is that it over-sexualizes Bundy. I think the popular theory is that this movie was made with the same mindset as the people behind Tumblr blogs who write about being in love with Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, the Columbine shooters. When critics of Extremely Wicked discussed the trailer, they often cited it being edited in such a way that it resembles a romantic-action-comedy with upbeat music and clips of Zac Efron, who plays Bundy, acting like your typical witty, nice-guy hero.
This is exactly the point, though. The movie is meant to show Bundy as a nice, attractive, everyday guy, because to most people, he was. By all accounts, Bundy only got away with what he did because of his looks and charm. He was the man you could take home to your parents: charming, career oriented, and ambitious. He didn't fit the police's profile for what a killer should look like. This whole scheme is the theme of the new movie, just as it was in Kloepfer's book. She's said that the purpose was to ask the question "Would you know if you were in bed with a monster?"
I've also seen it going around that people don't quite understand all of the talk about Bundy's attractiveness- they don't see him as looking good at all. Because of this, they feel that Zac Efron being cast to play the role is glamorizing the killer and playing off of Efron's existing fanbase. I disagree with this. I personally don't see him as anything special, and while Bundy may not fit the modern standard of male beauty compared to the standards of the 70's, he lived up to the expectations.
As someone who is fascinated by true crime and the psychology surrounding serial killers, I feel like Extremely Wicked is something that is needed. I believe that in the world of true crime media, there has been enough speculation done by special investigators and police. No matter how much research is done into the matter, there is nothing that will give quite the same look into the situation as a recalling from someone who lived through the situation. Elizabeth Kloepfer was one of the closest people to Bundy for over six years, and she has a unique perspective not only on the events of the time, but also into Bundy as a person. If she believed him to be warm and kind, at least partially, then that deserves to be publicized as much as his horrific half does. It serves as a needed warning to women today that no matter how someone may seem on the surface, you really do never know if you're sleeping with a monster.
As a medium, movies are, by design, glamorizing. It's hard to get around that, but as long as you go into it with the intention if portraying an accurate depiction of the events, everything should work out. Admittedly, the trailer could have been edited more faithfully to the motif of the movie, but as an adaptation, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile looks promising and I personally am excited to see it.

Queenstown's skifields are getting a $6 million upgrade.
NZSki, which operates The Remarkables and Coronet Peak in the resort, is forking out for a host of improvements.
They include a new $500,000 medical centre and patrol base at The Remarks, replacing facilities in the old base building demolished earlier this summer.
There'll also be a new transparent tunnel over the double conveyor belt on the learners' slope – the first double in New Zealand.
Curvey Basin trail benefits from 39 replacement snowmaking guns, and there's two new $500,000 Kassbohrer PB600 winch cats to groom the slopes.
About 5.5km of the access road gets a second and final coat of chip seal, sealing three-quarters of the road. It'll be managed with new snow-clearing equipment.
Across the valley at Coronet Peak, NZSki is doubling the snowmaking capacity directly outside the base building and in the beginners' fun zone.
It's upgrading the T-bar drive at Rocky Gully, upgrading the restaurant and cafe, and renewing its rental equipment.
And for thrillseekers, it plans new freestyle features under the Coronet Express chairlift.
That's a quiet year for NZSki compared to the previous two summers, when it splashed $45m on The Remarks alone for a new base building, chairlift and road seal.
NZSki boss Paul Anderson says: "It's still very significant though.
"Our focus is on improving the on-mountain product.
"We need to ensure the locals see [the fields] as the premium places to ski out of Queenstown – and that we stay the number one choice for ski holidays in Australasia, from Australia in particular."
Anderson says the company's lucky to have shareholders who are prepared to continue to invest.
Anderson says it's mulling over building a chairlift in 'the Doolans', over The Remarks saddle.
"We think the terrain is magnificent.
"The Remarkables offers some of the best hiking and backcountry skiing in NZ but we would love to make that more accessible by putting some lifts in."
That's a longer-term proposition though, he says. There are no immediate plans to seal the final quarter of The Remarks access road, either.
Another change is new freeski and snowboard development programmes, which are run in association with the newly-formed Queenstown Snow Sports Academy.
Meanwhile, The Kruiser school holiday programme at The Remarks will be canned in favour of a five-day mountain holiday programme at Coronet.

Day 899
The day started off easy enough with the early bus out of Managua. We had an easy border crossing into Honduras after a few hours. I found out that you don't even need to get your passport stamped for land crossings between Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, so my passport won't quite fill up so fast.
I was supposed to get off at a city near the border in Honduras and find another bus to take me north to Tegucigalpa, and I let the bus assistant know of my plans when he was loading my backpack in the storage compartment. The terrain outside appeared to be dry and barren with no human settlements in sight. Some Tom Hanks movie about the US secretly giving the Afghanis money during the cold war was playing, and before I knew it a couple hours had passed. All of a sudden we stopped, and I asked the assistant if we were in my city yet. He had an "oh shit" look of surprise on his face when he saw that I was still on the bus, and he broke the bad news to me that he had forgotten about me and we were, in fact, already crossing into El Salvador.
I thought briefly about getting off the bus and trying to make my way back through Honduras, but at that point I'd have to traverse the entire country to get to the Caribbean coast. I decided to continue to San Salvador instead. I was planning to go there eventually anyway, so I figured as long as I was in the country, I might as well stay a few days.
A few people had warned me not to go to El Salvador because of the extreme gang violence that was happening there. I met very few people who had actually been there, though, and that piqued my curiosity about the place. I started reading about the tiny, practically unknown country and discovered that like Nicaragua, there was a terrible civil war there that cost 75,000 lives, and of course the US government played a large role in prolonging it. Still, it ended in 1992, so the youngest generation wouldn't have any memories of it. Hopefully the country would be peaceful enough for the older generations to forgive and forget.
I found a place to sleep near the bus station in the capital of San Salvador, and when I looked around all I saw were a Wendy's, a Pizza Hut, and a street full of cars and devoid of people, much like I'd expect to see back home. Maybe the gangs were fighting on the other side of town. I told the desk worker at my hotel about how the bus didn't drop me off in Honduras, and she said it was divine intervention that I came to her country instead. Indeed, Holy Week had affected me deeply, whether I wanted it to or not.


text: I came here for my wisdom teeth surgery. About that time in my life where it was time to get my wisdom teeth removed. At first, I came in, I was pretty nervous. The staff was really kind, really nice to me. I felt welcomed when I came in here, so that made it a little bit easier. Dr. Marashi was a great doctor. The surgery went really well. It only took probably 30–45 minutes, got in the car, and I was out of here in no time. My friends and family from around the local areas — Charlotte, Pineville, Matthews — I definitely recommend them to come here and get their surgery done with Dr. Marashi.--Cameron

In just 15 years, there are expected to be more people renting than owning homes in the UK.
This widely-believed prediction is based on the demand for affordable 'built for sale' properties far outstripping supply. Just over a third of the estimated 300,000 new homes needed across the country are being built each year.
The picture looks pretty dire, and that's before you consider the Residential Lettings Association's recent finding that one in four landlords plans to sell at least one rental property in the coming year.
Build to rent looks set to make huge strides in easing the housing shortage and the government looks favourably upon it too.
So much so that in 2012, it announced it would offer up to £10bn of housing debt guarantees to encourage investment in the development of purpose built, professionally-managed rental homes that will improve options and standards for Generation Rent. Its separate Build to Rent fund provides construction loans for build to rent schemes.
But build to rent will only prove a success if developers are given the green light by local authorities to build the homes renters are searching for.
Planners think they know best but they don't - data does!
You'd be forgiven for thinking the role of a planning committee is to ascertain and deliver the kind of housing people are demanding in that area.
It certainly should be.
Instead, planners are letting their egos get the better of them, believing they know best based on experience in other housing sectors and forcing developers to adher to their rigid demands. There is a deep-rooted failure to analyse the rental market data that often suggests they are wrong.
Supply/demand mismatch makes renting unaffordable for many
There is already a problematic supply and demand imbalance in the rental market. In London, just 23 per cent of total rental demand is for two-bedroom flats. Despite this, two-bedroom flats make up nearly half the supply!
The ripple effect is tremendous. It drives up the price of smaller, more in-demand units. One-bedroom flats will cost a renter £51 per square foot, where a two-bedroom flat would cost £30.
Our recent market analysis of a north London postcode just south of regeneration hotspot Wembley Park and its leading build-to-rent scheme, Tipi, revealed strong demand from couples and single professionals.
However, the volume of Movebubble searches for the one-bed flats and studios they favour is far outstripping the relevant listings in almost all local markets.
This supply and demand mismatch is most acute for smaller units. In the last three months, a grand total of zero studios have been listed in Kilburn despite nearly 200 renters hunting for that type of property in the same time period.
Out-of-touch planning rules are failing renters
There's more to meeting demand than simply counting the number of rental households, then building the same number of rental homes. Renters' individual needs must be fulfilled for them to be satisfied enough to sign or renew a tenancy agreement.
The solo professional forced to fork out more than they can afford for a property that's bigger than they require, or move elsewhere, is a solo professional who has been failed. Ditto the growing family stuck in a pokey apartment due to an over supply of studios and an undersupply of five-bedroom homes.
Were planners not so out-of-touch with what demand actually looks like in their area, developers could be more efficient with their rents. The price of renting would fall and there would be fewer homes sitting empty or struggling to attract tenants.
The build to rent model is dependent upon longer term, stable income, rather than the bigger instant ROI of build to sell. These developments are liable to fail if occupancy levels drop, which they're at risk of doing if the homes on offer are not what renters want.
There's hope for build to rent if the industry changes with the times
Happily, excitement around the build to rent sector is building. Here at Movebubble, we've noticed that renters looking for a built to rent home are making an average of three more enquiries through our app than those seeking a traditional let.
This will surely lead to boroughs receiving more planning applications for these kind of developments. Unfortunately, planning departments are not prepared, with many yet to implement specific build to rent housing policies.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan's supplementary planning guidance on Affordable Housing and Viability acknowledges that build to rent developments differ from traditional build for sale models.
It advises planners that "local policies requiring a range of unit sizes should be applied flexibly to build to rent schemes" to reflect great demand for one- and two-bedroom properties than in the owner-occupied or affordable rented sector.
The Mayor's paper also states that local authorities should take the "distinct economies" of build to rent into account when considering applications, recognising that potential yields and investment risk can be affected when the number of large units in a scheme is upped.
Build to rent developers could compromise by incorporating some modular design, allowing for the moving about of non-load bearing walls to change, say, a studio and a one-bed into a two-bed, should demand change in the future.
With build to rent still so new, it's a controversial subject.
What's clear is that planning decisions taking too long has already slowed down the building of new homes to buy, contributing to the housing crisis. Here's hoping the often unnecessarily complicated process doesn't cripple build to rent, too.
Developers need permission to build the homes renters actually want, where they want them, based on cold, hard data - and make renting better for everybody.

A Restriction Point for Control of Normal Animal Cell Proliferation
This paper provides evidence that normal animal cells possess a unique regulatory mechanism to shift them between proliferative and quiescent states. Cells cease to increase in number under a diversity of suboptimal nutritional conditions, whereas a uniformity of metabolic changes follows these nutritional shifts. Evidence is given here that cells are put into the same quiescent state by each of these diverse blocks to proliferation and that cells escape at the same point in G1 of the cell cycle when nutrition is restored. The name restriction point is proposed for the specific time in the cell cycle at which this critical release event occurs.
The restriction point control is proposed to permit normal cells to retain viability by a shift to a minimal metabolism upon differentiation in vivo and in vitro when conditions are suboptimal for growth. Malignant cells are proposed to have lost their restriction point control. Hence, under very adverse conditions, as in the presence of antitumor agents, they stop randomly in their division cycle and die.

CHICAGO -- It is rare for a political campaign to release internal polling. They hold the number close to the vest. But this week two campaign leaked their numbers to influence the early campaign narrative.
It was an early skirmish in the what's likely to be a brutal campaign for Chicago mayor.
Lori Lightfoot released private campaign poll numbers that showed Mayor Emanuel in trouble.
Just a 32 percent approval rating for Emanuel and a 36 percent favorable rating.
Betty O'Shaughnessy, who co-authored the book "Winning Elections in the 21st Century" says Lightfoot put out her numbers hoping to influence campaign coverage.
"I think she wanted to show that he wasn't an invincible candidate," O'Shaughnessy said.
The mayor's campaign hit back Wednesday and released its own internal polling showing better numbers. They have the mayor's approval rating at 43 percent with a 45 percent favorable mark.
Experts say incumbents with an approval below 50 percent shows great weakness but longtime strategist Michael Golden said Emanuel remains formidable.
"I can tell you one thing about Rahm Emanuel having worked for him when he was national party chair in 2006 when Democrats took back the House and worked against him in 2011 in the mayoral race, you never count him out," said Michael Golden, President Golden Mean Strategies. "So no matter what those numbers are he is as cagey a politician as comes beyond just being the mayor and an elected official, he's his own best strategist."
So far it is a crowded field with 10 candidates. If no one gets a majority of votes during the February election there will be a runoff in April.
To survive until then, building a campaign infrastructure and courting voters, the challengers must compete with Emanuel's enormous fundraising edge. The mayor's campaign has more than $8 million in the bank.
"Ad campaigns cost a ton in this market," Golden said. "All of those candidates are going to have to raise a hell of a lot more money to compete with Rahm and get their message out if they want to get in the runoff."
O'Shaughnessy said the campaigns will employ traditional strategies trying to court African Americans and Latinos, but she thinks there will be a special interest in winning women.
"The more women you get the better off you're going to be because, I think, women right now are really pumped to get something done," she said. "I anticipate that Rahm Emanuel is going to come out with something that's going to make women very, very happy."
