It’s Fine Press Friday!

Today we present The Ballad of Lemon and Crow, a spooky Southern Gothic tale by Glenn Todd, with photogravure collaborations by Bruce Conner (1933-2008) and anonymous artists, published in San Francisco in 2002 at the Arion Press. Glen Todd began his career in printing in 1964, working for San Francisco publisher Grabhorn-Hoyem (formed by Robert Grabhorn of the iconic San Francisco fine printers Grabhorn Press and Andrew Hoyem of the Auerhahn Press), and later became an editor for Hoyem’s Arion Press (the successor to Grabhorn-Hoyem after Robert’s death in 1973), where he wrote introductory essays for several of its books. Todd first met the artist Bruce Conner in 1953, when Conner was a student of the University of Nebraska. They were both a part of a Midwestern literary and artist circle that moved to San Francisco in the early 1960s that was associated with the Beat Generation.

Writing in the Southern Gothic style of Tennessee Williams, Carson McCullers, and Eudora Welty, Todd’s story takes place is rural Oklahoma and chronicles the lives of three generations of neighboring families, one white and the other black. Old Lady Lemon and Granny Pearl Crow are the matriarchs of these families, and the story focuses on the interwoven lives of their children and grandchildren.

The Ballad of Lemon and Crow was produced in an edition of 326 signed copies. The book was designed and produced by Andrew Hoyem at the Arion Press in Monotype English Old Style type composed and cast at Mackenzie & Harris (also owned by Andrew Hoyem) and printed letterpress. The ink-blot patterns at the bottom of each page and the rebus on the title page were made from photopolymer plates. The photogravures were printed by R. E. Townsend in Georgetown, Massachusetts. Our copy is yet another donation from our friend Jerry Buff.

Hokaloh News Updated: Amerika penaja utama organisasi pengganas MEK - Berita Terkini

https://hokaloh.news/luar-negara/amerika-penaja-utama-organisasi-pengganas-mek-berita-terkini/

Web rasmi Mojahedeen-e Khalq (MEK atau MKO) telah mengumumkan bahawa organisasi itu dijadualkan mengadakan persidangan yang digelar “Free Iran” di Paris pada Sabtu, 30 Jun.

Organisasi pengganas Mojahideen-e Khalq (MEK atau MKO) menjemput tetamu bukan warga Iran, warga Afrika serta warga Eropah Timur pada persidangan baru-baru ini di Paris.

Sehubungan itu, akhbar Le Monde melaporkan pada persidangan yang sama pada 2017 bahawa dalam perhimpunan ini, ahli-ahli kumpulan Mojahideen datang dari seluruh Eropah dan pendatang Rusia dan Poland, yang kebanyakannya adalah bukan sebahagian daripada kempen mereka, tetapi mereka menghadiri perhimpunan itu dengan bas percuma dari Jerman, untuk menarik perhatian “ibu” puak tersebut dan Presiden NCRI.

Selepas Revolusi Islam, kumpulan Mojahideen-e Khalq (MKO) membunuh beribu-ribu rakyat Iran dan kemudian membentuk pakatan dengan bekas diktator Iraq Saddam Hussein untuk menyerang Iran dan menindas pihak lawan Kurdish dan Syiah Iraq. Juga perang Syria, dengan kerjasama dan sokongan Arab Saudi dan Amerika Syarikat, kumpulan itu bergegas untuk membantu al-Qaeda dan ISIS di negara ini, yang akhirnya mengakibatkan kematian anggotanya.

Media rasmi organisasi ini telah menyediakan senarai mereka yang hadir di Paris tahun ini seperti berikut:

Rudy Giuliani, Bekas Datuk Bandar New York.

Newt Gingrich, Bekas Kongres AS.

Senator Joseph Lieberman.

Jeneral James L. Jones, Bekas Penasihat Keselamatan Negara Obama.

Edward Rendell, bekas pemimpin demokrat.

Tom Ridge, Bekas Setiausaha Keselamatan Dalam Negeri Amerika Syarikat.

Bill Richardson, Bekas Duta Seorang A.S. ke Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu dan Setiausaha Tenaga

Jeneral Casey, Panglima Pasukan Kerajaan Campuran di Iraq dan Ketua Staf Angkatan Darat AS.

Frances Townsend, Bekas penasihat kepada presiden Amerika Syarikat

Louis Freeh, Pengarah FBI.

James T. Conway, General bersara Amerika Syarikat Korps Marin.

Ivan Sascha Sheehan.

Perlu dinyatakan bahawa Amerika Syarikat dan Arab Saudi yang menyedari sepenuhnya latar belakang organisasi pengganas ini dianggap sebagai penaja utamanya.

Menurut laman web Politico, mempercayai bahawa dua klien rapat Donald Trump sepatutnya menghadiri pertemuan kumpulan pembangkang kerajaan Iran (MKO) pada Sabtu tersebut. Menganggap usaha pemerintah Trump untuk memberi tekanan lebih terhadap Iran , dan pada masa yang sama, kehadiran pegawai rapat Trump dalam mesyuarat ini menimbulkan persoalan mengenai pengaruh kumpulan tersebut terhadap keputusan yang diambil oleh Washington.

Rudy Giuliani, peguam peribadi Trump dan Newt Gingrich, Penasihat Donald Trump, sepatutnya menghadiri mesyuarat kumpulan MKO pada Sabtu itu di Paris.

Daniel Benjamin, bekas Penyelaras Keganasan di Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat, menjadi pakar dalam urusan MEK menurut Politico: Kehadiran Giuliani dan Gingrich dalam perhimpunan ini sekali lagi menunjukkan bahawa beberapa ahli senior kerajaan Trump adalah penyokong perubahan rejim di Iran.

Terdahulu, terdapat laporan di media Barat yang memperlihatkan bagaimana ahli-ahli kumpulan MEK berinteraksi dengan ahli-ahli kerajaan Amerika Syarikat, yang menunjukkan bahawa orang-orang seperti Rudy Giuliani dan Newt Gingrich menerima sejumlah besar wang sebagai balasan untuk menghadiri setiap mesyuarat kumpulan dan seminar anti-Iran.

Walau bagaimanapun, sebelum ini, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Timbalan Menteri Luar Negeri Iran menulis di laman Twitternya: “mewujudkan jurang antara negara Iran dan Pertubuhan, menggalakkan rusuhan dan protes, mengaktifkan unsur pengganas ISIL dan pengganas Mojahideen Khalq, cubaan mengubah Iran seperti Syria dan Libya, mengubah geografi Iran, dan akhirnya membahagikan Iran, Turki, Mesir, Iraq, Arab Saudi, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yaman dan sebagainya. Plot yang direka oleh Presiden AS Trump dan rejim Zionis terhadap Republik Islam Iran. “

15 Things You Should Know About Blood Pressure

For diseases, science has come a long way, but there is still controversy as to optimal blood pressure values, how to control it and even how to measure it. When, in the 1970s, Raymond R. Townsend studied medicine, the formula for calculating blood pressure was simple. "We were taught that the normal upper value was 100 plus the person's age," recalls this professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. "Now we know that when that figure is very high, what happens over the years, involves danger." What no one argues is that hypertension can lead to heart attacks, strokes, or strokes, visual problems and even dementia. Here are 15 facts about blood pressure that could save your life: 1. Blood pressure is higher over the years At 76, Suzanne Oparil has excellent blood pressure. "Luckily, I have good genes," says the University of Alabama at Birmingham professor of medicine whose research has been instrumental in setting standards for hypertension. Like her, many will never suffer from this disease, but other people will see an increase in the upper value, or systolic pressure ( PS ), more or less after the age of 40. Hypertension is spoken when blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or greater. In part, this is because the arteries tend to tighten with age. 2. Hypertension is Usually Silent One can have blood pressure in the skies and not realize it , unless it is measured, and yet it is difficult to know the exact figures . According to Oparil, the values can vary between 30 and 40 points throughout the day, with descents at night and promotions in the morning. "Sometimes it rises when a doctor measures it, a phenomenon called 'white coat hypertension'." The best way to establish real values is to resort to a 24-hour test that measures pressure two, three or four times per hour during the day and every 30 minutes at night. The alternative is to buy a home blood pressure monitor with an arm cuff and measure it several times throughout the day. 3. Monitor the PS value after 50 years That number, PS, represents the force with which the heart pumps blood to the whole body when it contracts. Diastolic pressure ( PD ), the lower value, represents the pressure between one beat and another, when the heart relaxes. "The top figure is the most important because it indicates the maximum strength that arteries and vital organs support in each heartbeat," says Dr. Sheila Sahni, an expert in cardiovascular disorders at the Ronald Reagan Medical Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. "When the pressure is high, it can damage the kidneys, eyes, brain and even the walls of blood vessels . " PD numbers usually reach a maximum level around 55 years of age, and then gradually decline. 4. Experts Differ in Ideal Pressure Scientists are still debating about the ideal blood pressure of people over 50 years. Until recently it was advised to maintain PS below 140 mmHg, and below 150 mmHg after 60 years. In September of 2015, the findings from the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Study ( SPRINT ) put that recommendation down. The study involved more than 9,300 people who were or were at high risk for heart disease (almost 30 percent were 75 years or older), divided into two groups at random: the first was to reduce at any cost their PS to less than 120 mmHg, and the second, less than 140 mmHg. The risk of having a cardiovascular disease or stroke was only 25 percent lower in the first group during the three-year study. 5. Optimal figures vary from person to Person The official guidelines are just a guide for doctors and patients "because each person is different," says Dr. Townsend, a hypertension expert. In those with low cardiovascular risk, moderately high PS numbers may be acceptable. It is the same case of high-risk patients who do not tolerate the side effects of aggressive treatments. "With a 69-year-old who takes four different antihypertensives to have a PS of 135, one should carefully evaluate whether another drug is worth adding," says Townsend. The best advice is to ask your doctor what is appropriate for you.  6. A healthy lifestyle is as useful as medicine  Eating less salt and eating lots of fruits and vegetables can lower blood pressure by up to five points. Slimming also helps . Studies indicate that reducing five pounds of weight can lower the PS by more than four points. Swedish researchers recently concluded that regular physical activity can reduce the PS of hypertensive people by 11 points , on average. "If you have mildly or moderately high blood pressure, adopting healthy habits could free you from taking drugs," says Dr. Glenn M. Chertow, a professor at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. 7. Coffee ups the pressure, but do not be alarmed Researchers have long known that a loaded cup of coffee elevates blood pressure. As per an article published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the PS rises eight points on average after ingesting between 200 and 300 milligrams of caffeine (or between 1.5 and 3 cups of 240 milliliters of coffee). The pressure stays high for about three hours, but there seem to be no long-term effects. 8. Over-the-counter medications can raise blood pressure "Many anti-cold medicines contain pseudoephedrine, vasoconstrictor compound that raises blood pressure," warns Sahni. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as naproxen and ibuprofen, also raise blood pressure by three to six points. Regular use of these medications may increase cardiovascular risk . 9. Moderate ingestion of salt over the years Salty foods can raise blood pressure; however, the recommendation to moderate salt intake has been controversial for a long time. The reason? This seasoning does not affect everyone alike . We tend to consume more salt as we age because our sense of taste declines. The recommended maximum intake of sodium for adults over 50 is between 1,500 and 2,000 milligrams. Processed foods often contain lots of salt, so check the labels on the products and choose those that are low in sodium. When adding salt, remember that a quarter teaspoon contains 575 milligrams of sodium. 10. New drugs are not necessarily better Doctors often prescribe diuretics as the initial treatment of hypertension. These drugs, which help remove excess water and sodium from the body, were among the first remedies available against this condition. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors are other drugs that are less time consuming in the market and their function is to prevent the body from producing a known hormone that raises blood pressure. Angiotensin 2 receptor antagonists hinder the action of the same hormone. Several studies show that new drugs are no more effective than diuretics, but they usually cause fewer adverse reactions . 11. It is useful to strengthen the forearms According to a medical report published in 2013 on alternative ways to reduce blood pressure, tightening spring clips could lower this by as much as 10 percent. These effective accessories are sold in sporting goods stores. Keep the tweezers tight for two minutes in each repetition. Do a daily session of 12 to 15 minutes of this exercise, three times a week.  12. Taking deep breaths can help  Reducing the respiratory rate to six cycles of inhalation and exhalation every 30 seconds results in decreases of up to three points in PS, even temporarily. 13. Many people need to take more than one drug If your blood pressure is moderately high, an antihypertensive may be enough to reduce it; however, many people end up taking several. Separately, antihypertensives typically lower blood pressure by only a few points. And the time comes when the effect stabilizes even though the dose is increased. What we do is prescribe various types of drugs, according to the patient , to optimize the effects. 14. You can also bring pressure through the floors The greatest risk is that the person stands up and his blood pressure is so low that blood can not reach the brain (orthostatic hypotension). Older adults in particular are at risk of falling and fractured. If the antihypertensive makes you dizzy, go to your doctor. It may be wise to change the treatment. 15. It is essential not to discontinue treatment It is usually enough to adopt healthy habits and take drugs to reduce cardiovascular risk. But once you achieve this, you must stick to the treatment and those habits. "Many people forget to take the medicines or, if they have adverse reactions, stop taking them," says Sahni. If we stop the medication, the pressure will rise again . As PS tends to rise with age, measuring blood pressure regularly is also important. Most people with hypertension need a medication adjustment from time to time. Read the full article
