Cancer treatment in the time of Covid

So I have finished my second Chemo treatment 3 days ago? Why not blog after the first? Well cause I was a potato thats why. That is my new term for the overwhelming exhaustion that comes with my friend Chemotherapy. It is interesting but nothing I have experienced before. I lie, 10 years ago I was super ill and left Kingston Hospital 88 lbs. I know weak and it is a scary feeling and yeah I called them. I found out it is completely normal, give in to it. Ok will do don't have a choice because I don’t have the energy to do more than make myself a cup of tea. My daughter is doing the rest and doing it well. I can relax and just be a potato if I feel like one. So I was for about 3 days.

Around the same time my mouth started to get sore. First kind of coated then raw feeling and really chapped lips. My daughter went to pharmacy and got some special spray that is all natural and helped with the dry sore mouth quite well. She also got special mouthwash made for the same issue. It helped and it passed in about 4 days.

But that wasn’t the first side-effect. I had very mild “hand-foot syndrome” Google it because it is fascinating, and can at its worst be horrendous. It is extreme skin sensitivity to cold. First discovered when I got home from first Chemo and reached into the fridge for a pepsi. Zap, every finger touching the can starts to tingle intensely. You know that feeling when a limb or hand goes to sleep and I mean dead asleep no feeling and then it starts to wake and you hit a max on the tingly feeling? Yeah it feels like that. Not painful, disturbing definitely uncomfortable. Then I took a drink of the pepsi...OMFG my mouth and throat are tingling like crazy. The answer? Warmth. A tea, no cold drinks and don’t touch anything with your hands that is colder than body temp. Warm that water up before you wash your hands. Etc. It lasted a day and gradually improved.

The third and least noticeable side-effect is actually not due to the Chemotherapy but the high dose steroids that they give you before and during to help combat them. Steroids give you a false sense of wellness and I get very chatty to say the least. So yes I noticed this and the fact I felt pretty damn good the first 3 days after. But I know having been on steroids many times for my Colitis the fall going off them is kind of harsh so this probably adds to the chemo exhaustion that hits on day 4 and your done your 3 day steroid regime.

So lets look at the positives of this treatment shall we? I didn’t barf, not even once. Nor did I even get nauseated. I was terrified of this side-effect. I mean worse than hair loss by far. Like I said I know what it feels like to be 88 lbs when my good weight is 135. I weighed 137 when diagnosed, my weight at my first chemo was 112. I have lost 25 lbs already and the treatment hadn’t even started yet. What was I going to look like going into surgery, will it affect the outcome, will I be healthy enough to get it at all or will it have to be delayed risking my life? Yeah it was a great big fat hairy deal. And I didn’t get sick. Can I have a “Hell yeah”

The second side effect is just as exciting folks, I found my lost appetite and oh boy is it back with a vengeance. I fell like I did 10 years ago like I have an insatiable tape worm. It started to come back around day 5 post 1st chemo. And each day became stronger and stronger. I was eating bowls of ice cream at midnight and making bacon and eggs at 5AM. I even appealed to my friends who brought “Mac and Cheese” and “Oven pot pies” And I ate them all and at my weigh in before starting chemo I saw the beautful number 118.6 lbs. Omg the joy I felt I can’t tell you. The relief....1000 lbs literally off my shoulder. I am so holding on to the hope that it stays around. I expect during my potato days, it won’t be as good. But I will remain hopeful that the tapeworm stays awake and keeps eating.

But then I got my second treatment 3 days ago. It was different. The nausea? Nope its fine none of that at all. Appetite seems normal not bad but not ravenous. The hand/mouth, wow. It began as I arrived home from my treatment. My hands and feet and lower legs were tingling like crazy and I was touching nothing and fully dressed and had a coat on. The cold air, It was like minus 2 or something out. Wow what if it was in the middle of winter how would this feel? I come inside and its pretty intense. My daughter gets me a cup of hot tea and heats up my hot pack to put my hands in like I did first round. It helps. I put on my legs it helps them too.

I have a chemo bottle attached to my PICC line that goes into the large vein in my upper body into the upper vessel of the heart. Regular arm veins used for IV’s can't take chemo drugs, That chemo bottle is to drain over a period of 24 hours. I carry it around for those 24 hrs in a little bottle bag around my neck and navigate the tubing. Then the next day I get into the car and drive to Para-Med and they remove the chemo bottle, dispose into the toxic waste container and redo my dressing on my PICC line. I go home. Except two hours later I note the bottle of Chemo is not draining. I call, and they tell me I have to go back to hospital so they can fix. I did, it sucked, I tingled the whole way but did get to ask that nurse about it too. Yes it’s normal but yes we watch it some have a problem. Am I going to have a problem? I hope not she says. Yeah me too.

We drive home. I decide in case this gets worse I should take my shower while I am stable on my feet. I do so and it was glorious hot water. No tingling, until I stepped out. OMFG again. Bare feet on the floor, naked and shivering. Ok now its painful. This bloody sucks. Get dressed in flannel onesie right away. Get big winter socks on and get that hot pack. Ok I am good. How bad will this get? Is this something that could interfere with my ability to get regular prompt continued treatment so I can have surgery and be cancer free. Is this threatened? I have two more treatments and will have a long break in-between these treatments my surgery and my recovery and restarting again. It should get out of my system. But the effects are cumulative, how bad will it get? Can they give more steroids to counter act this effect and keep it controllable. You can bet I will be asking all those questions to my Oncologist when I see him before my next treatment. My daughter is going with me and will make sure I miss nothing with my hearing and that I get all my questions answered. Thats a very good thing to do together. And good news, the tingling is improving this morning. Whew!

I don’t know what the exhaustion will be like this time. I was what I called “baked” yesterday. Like you took that extra THC gummy at bedtime (oh chill its legal and I only take them for sleep) except they are always worn off by morning with zero hangover effect. Baked with a really clear logical mind and a mouth that just will not stop talking. Like there was no filter, if something ran though my head it came out my mouth. My daughter from previous experience with me realized it was the steroids! And then we laughed and laughed and laughed until our bellies hurt. The poor girl finally was able to retreat to the privacy of her room and I would still come down the hall to tell her more pearls of wisdom from my mind. I carried on a running commentary with my best friend over messenger from the early morning hours before the sun came up all the way to bedtime and yes she too finally just stopped answering me. I think its hysterical. But I get that it may be a tad annoying to others. So I went into my favourite facebook group for women over 40 that play the video game “Animal Crossing” Oh don’t judge that either, hottest selling game of the year last year, absolute record sales and got many of us through this damned pandemic. Just minding our islands and building homes and fishing etc. So peaceful, so non political and so damn cute. So yeah headed to that group and made two new online friends and yep they probably won't message again but they were kind to me. This side effect will pass today as the steroids wear off and the exhaustion kicks in. I suspect it may be little worse and last a little longer than last time. If you don’t see a new blog post till next treatment, thats why. See ya when I am no longer a potato.

How to Get Lasting Sciatica Relief

Sciatica is the title given to a painful situation that originates within the decrease again and triggers a “shooting” ache down the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve within the body1 and attaches at 5 factors within the decrease backbone. It runs down the whole leg to the foot—and consider me, it’s not a nerve you need to be enjoying up.

There are just a few extremes in sciatica, starting from a relentless annoyance that ruins your life as a result of you’ll be able to’t take into consideration something however how sore your again or butt is, proper as much as not with the ability to put one foot to the ground with out screaming in agonizing ache. In uncommon instances, each legs can have signs, and I can’t even comprehend how painful that might be.

If you could have had a fall or current lifting incident and that is your first expertise with sciatica then I’d suggest getting a medical skilled’s opinion to ensure there’s nothing structurally fallacious, however likelihood is if you’re studying this you’re a long run battler of indomitable sciatica—and also you’re getting fairly fed up with it!

What Are the Causes of Sciatica?

Loads of phrases like degenerative disc illnesses, compressed nerves, protrusions, and slips may be thrown about. They sound scary, however you really want to continuously remind your self that ache often will go away ultimately. The physique heals and adapts on a regular basis. A significant realization I had when finding out this topic was that if somebody may be in a automotive accident and have their backbone smashed to bits and ultimately be nice, then how is “a little bit of nerve ache” not in a position to be fastened?

Super Secret Sciatica Tip 1: Belittling ache is an efficient place to begin. Your angle and the best way you consider your ache is your first step. Don’t let it management you.

So, as an alternative of resigning ourselves to it’s simply a part of our anatomy now and that’s that, how about these extra workable causes:

Reason 1: Your hips are subtly twisted or misaligned.

Reason 2: You’re overly dominant to at least one facet.

Both these causes might lead to your discs or nerves being pissed off as a result of further stress on one facet. Simply having a significant imbalance in power can set off ache on the stronger or weaker facet as a result of your backbone being inadequately protected.

Yes, you possibly can have a structural concern or inside harm, however you’ll be able to’t change that. We now have two doable causes that we may be proactive about fixing. It has been estimated that as much as 50% of 40-year-olds have “bulging discs” and really feel no ache.2 Chances are that when you work on these imbalance points chances are you’ll do away with your signs anyway, so why fear?

Super Secret Sciatica Tip 2: Getting burdened about issues you’ll be able to’t change simply makes the ache worse.

How Do I Check For Imbalances?

First, get up, put your toes collectively then shut your eyes. Are you favoring one facet? Do you discover it simpler to lean into one leg or one hip than the opposite?

It may be apparent, or fairly delicate. Or doubtlessly as a result of you understand you’re checking your stability chances are you’ll subconsciously even your self up, however chances are you’ll discover a shift to at least one facet or the opposite.

Second, both in entrance of a mirror or document your self in your cellphone, simply transfer and down just a few instances to loosen up your physique and hips… then cease and see the place you stand. Does something look off? Visually is one hip increased than the opposite? Or one facet twisted extra ahead?

Both of those are “superficial” imbalances within the sense that you may simply repair them with some acutely aware motion. You can convey stability again into each legs or manually shift your hips in order that they sit straight. The problem is getting your physique to exist like that naturally. This is a comparatively straightforward, albeit doubtlessly gradual, repair. The mixture of fine facet stretches on your obliques and core activation drills just like the Copenhagen plank are a incredible strategy to right posture quirks.

The subsequent factor to verify is your single leg stability—a way more vital marker of unequal power and doubtlessly the reason for the above imbalances.

Provided you aren’t presently in lots of ache, stand on one leg. Then stand on the opposite. See how either side feels. Can you simply stand on one facet for a minute, however the different you’re wobbling round and barely lasting 10 seconds? If one facet is performing considerably totally different from the opposite (be aware that the more serious facet gained’t essentially be the facet of ache), then you’re missing a primary component of power and stability which could not be the only real reason for your ache, however undoubtedly gained’t be serving to.

Super Secret Sciatica Tip three: Get excited once you discover an imbalance or a “downside. This means you’ll be able to actively work on fixing it!

So, What Do I Need to Do?

The very first step is to get to know your hips. We’ve already touched on this with the three checks above, however this drill will assist strengthen your hips and improve your mobility. Watch the video beneath to see a drill we use known as the 90/90 place. It will get considered one of your hips into inside rotation, and the opposite in exterior rotation.

You need not know the names of muscle tissues or any fancy phrases to have the ability to do that, simply sit on the ground and see when you can replicate it. While within the place sit up as tall as you’ll be able to and see when you can take your fingers off the bottom and rotate your physique facet to facet unsupported. Does it really feel more difficult on one facet than the opposite? If sure, then work on it! Spend a bit extra time on that facet. Does your tighter facet correlate with the facet with poor stability? Or the facet you lean in direction of? Maybe it’s the alternative facet? Experiment and take an lively curiosity in what’s taking place in your hips.

Hit this 90/90 place as usually as you’ll be able to just a few instances a day for 10-15 minutes till you discover an enchancment. Not 5 minutes and say, “that’s quite hard.” Not just a few reps and say, “I don’t notice any difference.” See if you may make your self cramp, really feel what’s totally different backward and forward, and hold doing large deep enjoyable breaths. At first, it might really feel such as you’re aggravating issues, so watch out to not push it too far.

Working in your 90/90 and spending extra time on one leg will start to stability out your hips and construct stability. If you dedicate real-time to this, you will see your sciatica signs decreasing and even disappearing fully. Take it from somebody who’s been there.

What About Seeing the Physiotherapist/Chiropractor?

A click on can present aid briefly. If it’s a current harm and you’ve got solely simply introduced signs then that could possibly be all you might want to get all the pieces again in the fitting place. However, you probably have been struggling for a very long time then your muscle tissues are pulling your skeleton, any realignment could possibly be undone by the point you get again to your automotive.

An excellent physiotherapist will take a look at your complete physique and never simply your again or the positioning of ache. They will do an excellent job of easing signs that you may get again to shifting and dealing in your restoration.

The fundamental concern with getting exterior assistance is you solely have 30-60 minutes with this individual, presumably as soon as per week. So, what in regards to the different 167 hours? You reside along with your ache 24/7, and on the finish of the day, you’re the just one who can actually repair it. Act. Don’t simply settle for sciatica as your destiny.

Let us know when you wrestle with sciatica and different issues which have helped you alongside your journey!

Byju Raveendran: India’s Newest Billionaire

(Bloomberg) — India’s newest billionaire is a former classroom teacher who developed an education app that’s grown to a valuation of almost $6 billion in about seven years. Byju Raveendran joined the rarefied club after his Think & Learn Pvt scored $150 million in funding earlier this month.

That deal conferred a value of $5.7 billion on the company in which the founder owns more than 21%, people familiar with the matter said. Its closing coincided with the announcement that the company’s Byju’s app — named after the founder — will team up with Walt Disney Co. and taking its service to American shores by early 2020.

The 37-year-old entrepreneur — who has said he wants to do for Indian education what the Mouse House did for entertainment — is taking his biggest step yet geographically and creatively. In his new app, Disney staples from The Lion King’s Simba to Frozen’s Anna teach math and English to students from grades one through three. The same characters star in animated videos, games, stories and interactive quizzes.

“Kids everywhere relate to Disney’s Simba or Moana, who grip kids’ attention before we take them through the loop of learning,” said Raveendran, also chief executive officer.

Read more about the rise of India’s billionaires

India is going through a dramatic period of wealth creation — and destruction. A new breed of self-made entrepreneurs is joining the ranks of the well-heeled, helping the country’s ultra-rich population grow at the world’s fastest pace. Raveendran, at least on paper, assumes his place among those parvenus thanks to his effort in internet education.

Online learning is booming, perhaps nowhere more so than on Byju’s home turf, where internet usage is exploding because of the ubiquity of cheap smartphones and cut-price wireless plans.

India’s online learning market is expected to more than double to $5.7 billion by 2020, according to the government-backed India Brand Equity Foundation.

Education technology for kindergarten through 12th grade is one of the fastest-growing segments of the country’s internet market, said Anil Kumar, chief executive officer of Redseer Management Consulting Pvt. “Indian education startups are well set to seize the global opportunity given that they already cater to a large English-speaking base and have created unique education content,” he said.

Byju’s own fortunes have climbed alongside the market

Its revenues are expected to more than double to 30 billion rupees ($435 million) in the year ending March 2020, Raveendran said. That pace of growth has already caught the eye of some of the industry’s biggest investors from Naspers Ventures and Tencent Holdings Ltd. to Sequoia Capital and Facebook-founder Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan.

Those big-name backers buy Raveendran’s vision. The Byju’s founder grew up in a village on India’s southern coast where his parents were school-teachers. He was a reluctant pupil, playing hooky to frequent the football field, then learning on his own at home.

He became an engineer and then began helping friends crack entry exams to top Indian engineering and management schools. The classes swelled till he finally began teaching thousands in sports stadiums, becoming a celebrity tutor who commuted between multiple cities during weekends.

Think & Learn

He set up Think & Learn in 2011, offering online lessons before launching his main app in 2015. The business has signed up more than 35 million of whom about 2.4 million pay an annual fee of 10,000 to 12,000 rupees, helping it became profitable in the year ending March 2019.

That’s when Raveendran began courting long-term investors such as pension funds and sovereign wealth funds — his latest backer is the Qatar Investment Authority.

In Byju’s latest funding round, the entrepreneur bought shares to maintain his equity level. Along with his wife and brother, the Raveendran clan now holds a total stake of about 35%, said the people familiar, asking not to be quoted as the matter is private.

Byju’s approach is simple — captivate kids by transforming the content to fit short attention spans. Raveendran has always harbored ambitions to crack English-speaking countries, and has flown in YouTube stars to feature in his videos.

In Disney, he may have found a ready-made audience. All the lessons on the new service with Disney are set in the context of the entertainment giant’s classics and stay true to the narrative. To explain temperature, the app sets up a scene where Frozen’s Elsa falls ill because she constantly plays with snow. Anna gets out the thermometer to gauge her fever and a little story is then built around heat and cold. Or, to learn shapes, young learners dive into the story of Cars where they have to sort items like tires, traffic cones and billboards into buckets to learn about round, triangular and rectangular shapes.

“We are customizing Disney Byju’s to the American and British school curriculum,” Raveendran said. “The characters have universal appeal.”

“What Do I Do With My Life?”: 4 Steps to Hearing God's Will for Your Career, Relationships, and Future

image credit: James Whitley: The Gospel of Nintendo

"How can I hear God's direction for my life?"

That's one of the most common questions bedeviling young and old. Doubly-so during graduation season.

Cal Newport, a Computer Science professor who studies how people craft lives they are passionate about, has a lot of useful information on the subject:

On the "What should I study in college?" front, a few courses that can prepare you for life once you hit the real world:

http://justtaptheglass.com/post/6061662765/college-courses

But what do we do when we need specific direction on where to proceed next?

God can help with that.

Pastor Robert Morris shared a daily process for hearing God's direction for your life in his book, Frequency. A process he explored further in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IscKxdYtq9g

(Hat tip: Ifeoma O.)

I wrote up the following after listening to Morris' tutorial.....

Four Steps to Hearing God's Direction for Your Life:

1) Set a daily appointment with God.

2) Quiet yourself and worship him.

3) Read scripture and pray.

4) Listen and write down answers.

1) Set a daily appointment to with God.

We make appointments to see the doctor or meet friends for lunch. Carve out some alone time for God each day and you'll begin to hear his direction for your life.

2) Quiet yourself and worship him.

Sing praise songs to him during this reflection time. It doesn't have to be audible; If you're in a public place, you can cover these songs inside your head.

3) Read scripture and pray.

Open up a bible and read some scripture. Pick some verses or lean on a reading schedule that covers biblical narratives most enjoyable for you. Tell God what's on your heart and mind. Ask for his advice on situations you're facing.

4) Listen and write down answers.

Ruminate on the scripture you've read and listen to the thoughts that enter your mind. Write down answers to these two questions:

A) What is God saying to me through the scripture I just read?

B) What is God saying to me about the issues I've just prayed about?

When your focus is intentional, you would be surprised how much you can hear.

Recording thoughts on (digital) paper transforms abstract thoughts into concrete ones. It's much easier to discern God's direction and to act on it when you can see and read what you've just heard. With a ledger of God's specific direction, you've got something you can refer to again and again.

Here's an example of this process in action:

Say your reading during your appointment with God was Matthew 12:10-12 and you were praying for help dealing with a fear of standing up for something you believed in....

Matthew 12: 10-12:

"And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days."

A) What is God saying to me through the scripture I just read?

This verse is saying not to let the business of religion blind you to the essence of being a Christian. Act and think like Jesus would, instead of abiding by rules and formalities that govern behavior without considering ethos. The church was created to glorify God; man was not created to glorify the church.

B) What is God saying to me about the issues I've just prayed about?

God is saying I should not fear man. Be willing to take the right course of action even if I'm in the minority. In times of uncertainty, Christianity’s central tenets of loving God and one's fellow man, above all else, are the prime criteria for choosing a solution, not establishment hierarchy.

Remember, God loves you more than you could ever love yourself. He wants you to hear his voice and run towards him. If you really value God's word for your life, devote some time to listening to him. Give him the opportunity to lead you where you were meant to be.

Who better to receive counsel from?

There are a number of biblical examples of this routine bearing fruit...

The Rise of King David

Joshua and the Israelites (after leaving Egypt)

....and you can find a number of contemporary case studies on the value of seeking God's wisdom during times of uncertainty.

That sort of guidance---in your career, relationships, life in general---is invaluable.

If you don't hear much from God during this scheduled quiet time, It may be because you have yet to develop a relationship with him. Without an understanding of what God's voice sounds like, you will struggle to pluck his word from the sea of thoughts that flow through your mind every minute. Like a friend you've known for years, you get a sense of how they think and operate and what behaviors align with their personality through dedicated experience.

If you're looking for an immediate tailor-made answer from this post, I can't help you there. I'm not omniscient and there exists no cheat code to skip some of the levels required to attaining true categorical satisfaction.

And that's for the better, really, as the journey has as much value as the final destination.

If you're searching for direction on where to head next, you almost certainly need preparation before you're equipped to complete the journey. Given the precise answer to "What was I meant to be?", many of us might drop everything and attempt to make that a reality immediately. In our haste to live our best life now, we'd embark on an ill-fated quest, too green to navigate the hurdles required to get there.

Like any good prospect, you need to be molded. Push too fast and you strangle a promising future in the crib before it has a chance to blossom.

A tangent here....

We see this "Danger of Prematurity" on a smaller scale with lottery winners and professional athletes. Flush with cash---but not the experience and cognitive safeguards to protect and appreciate it---they fall prey to the wolves around them, frittering away what seems like an inexhaustible pile of riches. They never developed the systems to handle rapid changes in financial circumstance, a natural progression that (should) occur over time if you're moving through life with eyes wide open.

Lottery winners, more so than entertainers, are subject to this phenomenon because their wealth is unearned (unless you think number picking is a talent).

(Here’s a nice read on a man that did manage to hack the lottery: https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/lotto-winners/)

Though young and inexperienced with real money, the first round draft pick still had to nurture his talent to reach the pro ranks. He was born with some ability, yes, but years of hard work was needed to scale that mountain. Even if prone to poor financial decisions, those athletes and musicians can respect the underlying price of their windfall, providing at least some impetus to smarten up before the well dries up.

Not so with lottery winners, who didn't bear the struggles usually required to obtain wealth. When you fall in to money without developing the tools to manage it, foolishness is almost a given.

Genesis 3:19:

"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

Proverbs 12:27:

"The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious."

You get something without working for it and your sense of reality gets warped. Robs you of the satisfaction that comes from hard work as well.

That's another reason why the self-esteem movement in parenting is so dangerous.

The 45-year old who owns a chain of restaurants knows the years of backbreaking work it took to realize that wealth; He's less inclined to waste that cash when he gets it. The guy who lucked into ten million.....he's the dude who thinks putting a petting zoo in his living room is a good idea.

Or they jump into private equity, without the circumspection conferred by having limited resources. They think their dollars are a measure of their I.Q., so they swagger on down to the investment quadrant....and lose it all.

If you host demolition derbies in your backyard, you're probably a lottery winner. And maybe a redneck, too.

Rewards given before their time are more curse than blessing. A good God is wise enough to bring us along on a schedule.

God is not going to overwhelm you. Maybe you'll get an instruction to do "this" or go "there". He will not reveal more than you're ready to handle at the current time, as he doesn't want you to get in over your head. He'll start with a first step and then unveil more as you prove faithful.

Just as a new swimmer isn't immediately tossed in the deep end, it begins by dipping your toe in the water.

And even if you're agnostic or just not that attached to the idea of God or religion, the mere act of prioritizing regular contemplative alone time will generate forward momentum on the goals and problems you hold dear.

Give it a shot.

Rauner calls some other special session on education

New Post has been published on https://mediafocus.biz/rauner-calls-some-other-special-session-on-education/

Rauner calls some other special session on education

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Gov. Bruce Rauner called on Monday for a second unique legislative consultation in a month, this time after lawmakers left out his noon deadline for sending him public training-investment legislation with just weeks before the scheduled establishing of faculties.

Rauner issued the summons for lawmakers to go back to the Capitol starting Wednesday after he held a news convention in Chicago to accuse Democrats who manipulate the General Assembly of holding faculty kids “hostage” to their political time table.

“The Democrats in the majority are gambling political video games with our children’s schooling,” he told reporters, while again promising to alternate the law with an amendatory veto. “They appear to be intent on retaining up faculty funding till August when faculties need to open.”

For weary Illinois taxpayers, it’s simply the today’s flash point in an ongoing war between the primary-time period Republican government and majority legislative Democrats. A unique session earlier this month concluded with Democrats enacting an annual price range — fueled by a 32 percentage boom within the profits tax price — over Rauner vetoes. The finances turned into the primary when you consider that 2015, finishing the longest such stalemate of any country when you consider that at least the Great Depression.

It also consists of a provision that prohibits the state from issuing country useful resource to colleges until it’s completed via an “evidence-primarily based” method of the kind the General Assembly encouraged in May. But threatened with a veto, the Senate in no way sent Rauner that regulation, prompting the governor’s call for special session.

At stake is the Illinois State Board of Education’s capability to begin processing college-aid bills Aug. 1 and for the school bell to ring mid-month. Administrators at many schools say they have reserves or a different method of starting, however some question for the way lengthy.

Senate President John Cullerton of Chicago said in a statement Monday that Rauner is careworn approximately what the regulation does and has given conflicting messages approximately it.

“I’d want to have a verbal exchange with Gov. Rauner in hopes of having some clarity as to precisely what is going on,” Cullerton said in a statement. “We slowed down the process inside the Senate so that you can let anybody blow off a few steam, politically talking.”

The legislation would revise the way schools receive nation resource for the first time in two many years. The method funnels cash to the neediest college districts first after making sure that no district receives much less money than ultimate faculty 12 months. That consists of a $250 million-a-yr furnish for the financially-afflicted Chicago faculties for applications funded one at a time in other districts and a demand that the state picks out up the once a year, $215 million enterprise part of Chicago instructors’ pensions.

Rauner contends the $250 million furnish become intended to help pay retirement-account expenses — some thing Chicago officers and proponents of the plan reject — and so the extra cash is a “bailout” for beyond pension-charge shortfalls.

Democrats are conserving the degree to construct strain, according to House Republican Leader Jim Durkin of Westchester.

“The Democrats want to create and manufacture a college-funding disaster,” said Durkin, who seemed with Rauner in Chicago. “I need all faculties funded fairly. I want all colleges beginning on time. We are going to open colleges on time. The Democrats can’t stay silent on this issue. Send the invoice to the governor.”

Illinois is one in every of just seven states that give its governor the energy of amendatory veto. It lets in a governor to go back rules with “specific tips for change.” But in step with the nation Supreme Court, that does not include converting an invoice’s “essential cause” or making “significant or expensive” modifications.

Rauner has vowed to excise the Chicago pension charge from the measure. He produced a list ultimate week that confirmed an amendatory veto of the law, known as SB1, could reduce $145 million from Chicago faculties and distribute it to other districts throughout the kingdom. But he has no longer defined who did the evaluation or how the numbers have been crunched. He declined when asked on Monday, to give an explanation for what adjustments he would make with the amendatory veto.

“They (Democrats) need to create a crisis and simply say, ’There’s no discussion, there’s no extra time, there’s not anything to debate. It’s over. If faculties need to open on time, best SB1 in its contemporary form,’” Rauner said. “That’s unfair.”

2016: A Good Year

It took me more than a year to realize that I have not posted anything in my blog since Jan 2, 2016! Really? No posts, no updates, no reports whatsoever. It was such an active year! An year full of climbs, explorations and adventure. Yet, what was I thinking? Facebook of course. I was busy posting almost daily updates on that monstrous social network and getting sucked up in the process. Now, finally I have been able to ( at least I would like to think that I have) distance myself from Facebook a bit. It is now time for me to write down in brief about the things that happened in my life in 2016 ( as if that matters to someone). The first big adventure of 2016 for me was climbing the north face of Batian (Mt Kenya). Together with my good friend Martin Boner we gave big Batian a try. Here is a photo of the North face of Batian from near Shipton's Camp. We followed the standard route. Chris, our Kenyan friend also joined us in the climb at the last moment. Thus it was a party of 3 attempting the big wall.

But no, we could not reach the summit of Batian. We had to turn back due to poor visibility ( a few more complications). It was my first ever Big Wall climb and I must say I learned a lot and have become determined more than ever to go back and finish what we started. Here is a video clip taken from our turn around point. Here you see Martin starting to abseil. We abseiled till 9pm that day and only then could reach the safety of the valley.

In April 2016, the first thing I attempted in the Indian Himalaya was a solo climb in Garwal. I had my eyes set on a particular mountain (which I do not want to disclose now) and after walking two days from the road head I got to the base camp. After a couple of days of acclimatization and recce, as I was getting all set for the final push, it started snowing. And it snowed, and it snowed. By the time it stopped the slope was ripe for slab avalanches and I decided to quit this project.There will be a next time, I told myself and headed down. May 2016, did not turn out to be great either. I was fortunate enough to be a part of an Indo-Scotish expedition aiming to explore and do first ascents in alpine style. I was stoked but I got sick. The whole trip was foiled due to my illness and it felt really depressing. It was a small team of two. Susan Jensen and myself. Here is Susan's report (to the Alpine Club, London) of that trip: http://www.alpine-club.org.uk/ac2/documents/expeditions/reports/MEF_16_30.pdf Thankfully enough my lung did heal (over the next 4 weeks of rest and medication) and the next big adventure was an attempt on the 7134m high Peak Lenin in Kyrgyzstan. Once again we were a two men team. In July-August, 2016, Athol Jake Preston and myself had decided to climb the mountain unsupported and keeping it as pure as possible. We named our little expedition 'Friendship Expedition'. Two friends set out to climb a mountain in Central Asia, meeting people and making friends in the process. What could be more exciting and rewarding than that! After making 3 camps on the mountain we were stopped by a snowstorm ( and almost buried) that continued for 3 days. We had to turn back from 6134m (Razdelnaya) Camp 3. No we did not get to the summit, but we did give it a solid try and that too entirely by ourselves. No porters, no guides, no set up camps etc. The Base Camp and ABC facilities of our agent Ak-Sai was amazing though and if we come back (of which there is a high chance) it will definitely be with Ak-Sai. Here is a photo of my dearest buddy Jake in Camp 3 holding our team flag (and message: Stop Killing Start Climbing):

Right after our adventure on Peak Lenin it was time for me to head back to Garwal Himalaya to climb Satopanth (7075m). I was part of a Indo-German team that climbed Satopanth and another 6000m peak. No ropes were fixed beyond the col and Satopanth was climbed by Lakpa and Chris, while the 6000m was climbed by Aloke, and myself. Here is a view of Satopanth from the summit of the unnamed 6000er.

After spending 4 weeks on Satopanth I got a few weeks of rest with my family. It was nice as this was the time for festivities, Durga Puja and Diwali. A nice time to be with your near and dear ones. After Diwali, it was time for me to head back to mountains once again. This time to an exploratory expedition to North Sikkim with my old ( and new) Irish friends. During this expedition we explored Zumthul Phuk glacier and a few unnamed glaciers due north of it. We were rewarded with a few first ascents of peaks and passes and with that the active. Here is a photo from that trip:

And this sort of encapsulates the year 2016 for me. Some day soon a more detailed report of all of the above trips will be written and published. We live in hope. Till then have a great 2017 folks!
