The Drums’ Jonny Pierce Channels Purposeful Angst on BrutalismPhoto by Nicholas Moore Music Features The Drums
The Drums are a band with an unusual career trajectory. The New York City outfit were hailed as indie pop saviors at the start of the decade and with every subsequent album, an original band member departed the fold. The Drums’ last album—2017’s Abysmal Thoughts—was essentially a solo album for frontman Jonny Pierce, as he found himself the sole member of the band after the exit of close friend and co-songwriter Jacob Graham in 2016. Somehow through all the lineup changes, pressures that come with being a media-hyped buzz band and a few albums that diverted from their best-known pop sensibilities, The Drums have remained relevant and still boast a devoted fanbase.
They managed to prevent the unwavering rumble of similarly sad indie pop newcomers from drowning out the beat of The Drums. Perhaps it’s not in spite of these newbies, but rather, this recent crop of anxiety-ridden guitar bands and an infinite number of sad teenagers have contributed to The Drums’ continued relevance. Regardless, The Drums’ fifth album Brutalism, sees Jonny Pierce at his most lyrically honest and musically jarring.
Now in his 30s, Pierce is the literal embodiment of personal and professional upheaval. The blonde-haired, ever sweet and sensitive frontman was raised in upstate New York by strict Christian parents who prevented him from listening to secular music—not the ideal upbringing for a gay child who was falling in love with music—and he eventually moved to New York City to start The Drums. After dealing with a divorce, the exits of band members and the typical, emotional growing pains that come with being a person, Pierce moved to Los Angeles to make a new album, which is a milestone of sorts. Brutalism is the first Drums album with live drums, and it’s also the first time Pierce felt like he could relax some of his perfectionist tendencies and allow the help of outside collaborators.
“As long as I kept things as I understood them or how they worked for me, then I would feel safe,” Pierce says. “Letting go and letting influence in. All of that stuff was always my biggest fear. That A, I would dilute the sound of The Drums and B, that I would lose myself. What ended up happening was, it’s like being gay, once you let go, you’re like, ‘Okay I’m gay.’ You’re searching the beautiful sides of it. I don’t think I can ever go back to recording all on my own. I realized the power of being less of a control freak and letting go a little bit. By delegating the recording process a little bit, not fully, but just a bit here and there, and by bringing in my friends to write with me, it created space and time and reserved energy for me to be able to focus on what it was that I wanted to say.”
Abysmal Thoughts, Pierce’s previous album with The Drums, was a big step towards lyrical transparency. It was a clear abandonment of the band’s innocent pop romanticism and instead a display of unapologetic honesty and open sexuality. Songs like “Head of The Horse” detailed his painful upbringing and “Rich Kids” wagged a finger at well, rich kids. The album cover featured an erotic image of his then-boyfriend—a photo that would have never been used in previous iterations of The Drums. On Brutalism, Pierce takes it a step further by putting his heart on a platter and inviting listeners to take it or leave it. The album cover features a passionate photograph of Pierce with silky sheets in hand, and the songs contain a refreshing candidness—still rooted in sadness, but this time with a clearer objective.
“I think it’s angst with purpose now whereas before it was kind of blind angst,” Pierce says. “I was angry and upset and hurt and afraid, but I didn’t know where to place anything. I didn’t know the source of any of it. I’m in a place now where if I am upset, I know why I am usually and I’m able to do something about it. I don’t think you can be intelligent and not a little bit sad because if you carry awareness, you also hopefully carry a sensitivity, so you’re going to be affected by things that happen around you. I just can’t really write about happiness and it’s not because I’m trying to be angsty. It’s not because I have a role to fill or putting on a costume. I’m not trying to be Morrissey. I’m not trying to do any of that stuff. I’m just speaking from my heart and this is something that I deal with all the time.”
With Brutalism, Pierce is the sultan of focused wistfulness. On the lead single “Body Chemistry,” he ponders to what extent sadness stems from his own mistakes or whether it’s just in his DNA. Against propulsive electro-pop rhythms, Pierce asks, “Is my chemistry not forgiving me / Body chemistry / Unrelenting / Unforgiving.” On the tender “I Wanna Go Back,” Pierce justifies his emotional hesitancy with a memory of a past relationship. He sings, “If you could acknowledge / That you left me here guarding the door / And hold me like you used to / Then maybe I could feel less insecure.” On “Kiss It Away,” he sings of the battle between primal desire and romantic connection, “I’m not embarrassed to admit that / I need your physicality / Every human becomes weak.” And on “Loner,” he sings of a paralyzing no man’s land between fear and loneliness, “And I don’t want to be alone / And I am scared of all the people in the world / And I have never had a home / I am too afraid so I keep moving through the world.”
Though despair is aplenty, there’s no competition for the most sobering song on the album, “Nervous”—a dramatic shift for The Drums as it’s the first stripped-down acoustic track they’ve ever put out. The song discusses the aftermath of Pierce’s divorce. He sings, “Two years of laughter and one year of pain come crashing to a halt / To its final resting place.” He unspools a layer of honesty that many songwriters aren’t willing to expose, and he also reveals a side of his voice that he seldom uses. His voice climbs on the tail end of the chorus line, “And being nervous around you / Oh well that’s something new,” and it communicates a level of poignancy that could only come from a place of complex, deeply-rooted melancholia.
Pierce says of the song and his apprehension surrounding it, “I actually wrote that song during the making of Abysmal Thoughts. I had just gone through a divorce and the song is about the few days after we had met somewhere for dinner and decided that we would officially separate. I kind of wrote it for myself and I didn’t put it on Abysmal Thoughts because it was just too raw. And I was worried if I put it out, I would regret it. With Brutalism, enough time had passed where it felt like I was emotionally okay to do that. I didn’t use my usual framing for that song. I had my friend send me an acoustic guitar loop and I just sang over it. I had never done that before.”
A major theme of Brutalism is a love that’s too strong for its own good. It’s perhaps the most heartbreaking form of love and a counterintuitive idea. Despite the age-old phrase that says, “You can never have too much of a good thing,” love is a beast that doesn’t abide by the rules of logic or conventional wisdom. Love is a powerful force and even the most emotionally intelligent people aren’t safe from its vigorous, sometimes unhealthy stranglehold.
“I’ve got this huge amount of love inside of me,” Pierce says. “It always felt like an endless supply of love. So I would always get in these relationships, my latest included, where I just love this person so much and I just nurture and I’m wildly generous and I pour into this person and I hold their hand through every difficult moment and I drop anything for them. And because all of my focus is making sure that they’re okay and happy, I almost become blind to my own needs. I don’t even put them on the back burner. I kind of throw them in the trash. And it ultimately leads to the demise of the relationship and the demise of who I am as an individual.”
The lead track “Pretty Cloud” is a striking listen for those familiar with The Drums’ back catalogue. It opens with a glitching beat reminiscent of an 8-bit video game, and it’s one of the most overt pop songs The Drums have ever released. He uses changing weather patterns as a metaphor for the fickle nature of his former boyfriend, who according to Pierce, didn’t treat him very well. Pierce sings in reference to the behavior he put up with in order to preserve the relationship, “Still I am blissful / In whatever you give me.”
“[It’s] about my last relationship. Someone I moved all the way to Belgium for. I’m in my 30s now and you’d think I’d know not to do that. I barely knew this person, but like I said, I just fall hard for people and he ended up not being as kind as I had dreamt. And so that relationship fell apart and I’m still hurting from it. That song is basically about taking shit from someone. Taking the good shit and the bad shit and romanticizing the bad in order to stay in the relationship, which I did for so long. And tell myself, ‘Oh, but this is who I love. He’s a tortured soul and he’s frustrated, but he’s really beautiful when he’s angry.’”
While the intricacies of romantic and physical love are explored on Brutalism, it seems like there’s always a grey cloud hovering above or looming nearby. It’s not a miserable album, but sadness is certainly a lens through which you can view this record. Sadness, frustration, fear, self-sabotage and loneliness are pervasive in Pierce’s life, and he felt like it would be disingenuous not to reflect that in his music. “There’s so many layers of sadness,” Pierce says. “There’s so many beautiful aspects of it as well as some really ugly and painful ones. It’s such a well-rounded feeling I think. It’s really guttural and it almost feels tangible like you can touch it with your hands. Whereas happiness for me is in and out really quick. You don’t even have time to explore it. It’s like a vapor. It’s gone with the wind.”
For Pierce, happiness is a cherished, but far too infrequent visitor that passes through to raise his spirits and before he knows it, it’s out the door without waving goodbye. Though with Pierce’s infectious pop melodies, you won’t find yourself too bogged down by this album, especially with the boisterous closer and aptly titled “Blip of Joy.” “It does speak a little bit about finding these little bits of happiness spread throughout life, wishing there were more of them,” Pierce says. “But the lyrics talk about knowing this is a fleeting thing and you hold on for the next little blip that comes along and that’s how life strings you along.”
The Drums have written some of the most highly-concentrated pop songs of any act from the past decade, let alone a band primarily known for their guitar-based albums. Singles like “Best Friend” and “Forever and Ever, Amen” have some of the most ascending pop choruses that one could possibly muster, and because it’s The Drums, there’s always a lump in your throat as you dance awkwardly—Ian Curtis style—through the jangle pop angst. Though The Drums have continued this tradition on Abysmal Thoughts with tracks like “I’ll Fight For Your Life” and “Blood Under My Belt,” it also brought two big changes—songs with unconventional, static structures and the swapping of reverb-soaked guitars for bewitching synths. Brutalism is a more dramatic continuation of those two arcs with tracks like “Pretty Cloud” and “Brutalism,” but there are also a few nuggets of climbing pop euphoria, most prominently embodied by “626 Bedford Avenue,” which may rank alongside his most heady refrains to date.
“It used to be a real goal of mine to write really concise pop that mattered or that had a message,” Pierce says. “And the message is still really important to me but having a pop hit is less important to me. I’m at the point where I just want my music to be beautiful and sometimes that means a chorus that isn’t shooting from Mt. Everest. Sometimes it’s a bit more subtle and something that’s grazing in the meadows, but still very meaningful and beautiful. That feels much more adult to me and a little less scrappy little kid, like some of the songs on the first album for me. That song itself is the one song on the album that I kind of get shy about and I think it’s because the chorus really lifts. It’s this big poppy moment and I don’t even know if I’m in that space anymore. If I had to pick a song or two that is the cornerstone of the album, it would be ‘Body Chemistry’ or ‘Brutalism,’ which are a bit more even-keeled and linear you know? So I feel a little bit sheepish when we talk about ‘626.’”
It’s been just over 10 years since the start of The Drums and the now Los Angeles-based Pierce feels like he’s in a healthy, relaxed headspace. He refers to Brutalism as a “giant self-care bible,” which may have stemmed in part from the time he spent reflecting alone. He’s living by himself for the first time ever, but thriving creatively as he’s already begun work on his next record.
“What I’m finding with my time in Los Angeles is that I spend a lot of time being a bit more still than in New York,” Pierce says. “In New York, there’s just an abundance of energy. You walk out your door and there’s this instant friction in the air. It was easy to avoid exploring who I was. In a city like New York, there’s always an excuse to postpone that. I spend a lot of time in my apartment just being here alone. This is the first time I’ve ever actually lived alone. But for me, as difficult as this transition has been, it’s also been really fruitful in the sense that I’ve been able to sit there with myself and look at myself in the mirror, sometimes literally, and just feel like ‘Jonny this is you. You don’t have anywhere to go right now. Your record’s done. You’re not leaving for a press tour in a while. You have a month to just be in a space.’ And I can’t remember the last time I had a month to just be in one place. And so that was really really scary for me and really beneficial. I’ve been able to sort out some things that needed sorting out in my life and I think once you get through the initial shock of that change, you start to realize what a gift it is. That’s how I feel right now. It was a gift of self-care that was long overdue.”

Eyes on a Mysterious Star
by Steve Beyer on
Back in 2015, we hesitated a bit before posting our blog about a faint 12th magnitude star designated KIC 8462852, 1,400 light years from us in the constellation Cygnus. More commonly known as Tabby’s star, it’s a curious object, which in the past seven years was seen to be draped by a series of remarkable dimming episodes. Before our previous post, we wanted to be sure nothing in that report suggested an extraterrestrial civilization had been found. However speculation continues about Tabby’s star and interest has grown considerably. It’s time to revisit the story.
A strange phenomenon at KIC 8462852 was discovered by Darryll M. LaCourse, a citizen scientist volunteer with the Planet Hunters team scrutinizing data from the Kepler planet seeking mission. The star jumped out of the vast Kepler data set due to cycles of dramatic and inexplicable dimming noticed by the human eye, but missed by automated computer searches. A report describing the discovery was published in the April 2016 Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, authored by astronomer Tabetha S. Boyajian, now with Louisiana State University. She and Benjamin Montet summarize happenings regarding KIC 8462852 in the June 2017 issue of Sky and Telescope magazine.
If a Jupiter-sized exoplanet orbiting a host star the size of the Sun gets directly between us and the star, starlight would be reduced by about one percent. Observations from the Kepler mission revealed Tabby’s star demonstrated ten dips in brightness, ranging from 0.5% up to 20% over a period of about four years. In addition, analysis of astronomical photographs in the archive of Harvard Observatory show a 15% dimming of Tabby’s star between 1890 and 1989. Furthermore, data from Kepler indicate the star had an irregularly paced brightness loss of 3% during the four years of scrutiny beginning in 2009.
A number of explanations for the unique light variations of Tabby’s Star have been proposed, all of which have been questioned. Among suggested scenarios for the strange brightness changes are, an onset of giant starspots, or perhaps a huge swarm of orbiting comets or asteroids, and most recently, the possibility a large cloud of fragments left over after the star fractured, which was then absorbed by a circling planet during the past 10,000 years. Observations show no unusually high amounts of infrared radiation from the direction of Tabby’s star, and to avoid such an IR excess any combination of obscuring “stuff” would have to orbit a good distance from that star, at least as far as main belt asteroids are from the Sun. Another suggestion has been made that passing patches of interstellar dust might cause of the strange diming of Tabby’s star. But no comparable phenomena have been observed elsewhere in the sky.
By far, the most radical suggestion is that Tabby’s star may be providing evidence of a technologically advanced civilization, perhaps improving its quality of life by conserving energy from its native star. Such a plan was described in 1937 by science fiction writer Olaf Stapledon, who in turn inspired Freeman Dyson’s 1960 model. In 1964, Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev outlined a similar scenario with three levels of technological sophistication. Level II being characterized by a civilization’s ability to harness the entire energy output of its native star, perhaps by constructing a “Dyson Sphere.” This would be a gigantic structure encompassing the star, thereby conserving much of its radiant energy.
As intriguing as it is to ponder the possibility we may have some evidence we’re not alone in the universe, let’s consider several earlier speculations concerning civilizations beyond Earth.
During the autumn of 1892, English observer Alice Everett reported seeing a broad white band obscuring part of the well-known Martian surface feature Syrtis Major. A few weeks later she reported another site on the red planet, Mare Cimmerium, had temporarily become invisible. More reports of transient phenomena on Mars followed as telescopes improved in size and quality, and speculation began about the cause of those features.
During its 1956 opposition, when Mars was about as close as it ever gets to Earth, it was hoped large new telescopes might at last help solve the mystery of Martian canals. If they indeed existed, perhaps something might even be discerned about their origins. Were they natural features or dug by Martians?
At the McDonald Observatory, in Texas, astronomer Gerard P. Kuiper used a binocular eyepiece providing 900x magnification at the 82-inch telescope (stopped down to 28-inches for better sharpness) during a month of observations surrounding Mars’ closest approach on September 10. The instrument provided an apparent diameter of six angular degrees for Mars, an impressive view for that time, equivalent to seeing a quarter at the distance of 10 inches. Several observers, including Percival Lowell, believed they had seen Martian canals, and many believed the canals could well have been the work of intelligent beings on the red planet. On August 23, Kuiper reported “After prolonged examination of the Martian surface with seeing 4+ (nearly perfect images, at 900x magnification), the impression is recorded that the representation of canals so often seen is entirely incredible. The image of the planet was extraordinarily beautiful.”
It was very disappointing to observers that in late August a huge dust storm began to develop and eventually obscured most of the planet. Tongue in cheek speculations that “Martians” had somehow known Earth was watching and generated a vast smokescreen for privacy!
Modern space-based observations confirm that what Ms. Everett and many others had seen were Martian dust storms kicked up when the planet was at points of its orbit less distant to both Earth and wind-inducing warmth from the Sun. A high altitude cloud probably was responsible of an event widely and imaginatively reported in the late 19th century.
On August 2, 1894, the journal Nature noted that three days earlier, telegraph wires around the world were hot with news from the Central Bureau (for astronomical telegrams) about “A Strange Light On Mars.” The observation was attributed to astronomer M. Javelle at the Nice Observatory where on July 28 of that year he had seen a bright glow at the darkened western zone of the red planet’s gibbous phase. Nature noted: “…so it is to be expected that the old idea that the Martians are signaling to us will be revived.”
H.G. Wells happened to be working as a reviewer for Nature at that time, and the strange Martian light didn’t escape his notice. His subsequent story The War of the Worlds imagined such a light to be muzzle flash from a Martian civilization’s great cannon, launching craft toward Earth with no good intentions. Wells’ tale lived on in versions including Orson Welles’ 1938 radio broadcast (that induced thousands of Manhattanites to head for bridges and tunnels to escape before Martians arrived), a 1953 movie (that kept me awake), and Steven Spielberg’s 2005 production starring Tom Cruise.
Another episode that briefly associated perplexing astronomical observations with space aliens occurred after the 1967 discovery of pulsars by Jocelyn Bell, a student of Antony Hewish at the University of Cambridge. During November of that year she noticed an extraterrestrial radio source producing a series of short, less than 0.3 second, pulses each being separated by about 1.3 seconds. Nothing like it had ever been observed by astronomers and no known source initially explained the pulsations.
Some members of the discovery team, half in jest, referred to the object as “the LGM (Little Green Men) star.” Bell later recalled, “We did not really believe that we had picked up signals from an alien civilization, but obviously the idea crossed our minds, and we had no proof that it was an entirely natural radio emission.” There were suggestions the mysterious rapid flashes might even be navigational beacons guiding an advanced civilization’s star ships. Soon, the notion of pulsars constructed by LGM soon went the way of H. G. Wells’ Martian cannons.
In 1969, Jeremiah Ostriker and James Gunn suggested extremely rapid radio pulses recently discovered from supernova remnants in the constellation Vela and the Crab nebula were magnetically aligned beams emitted by fast rotating neutron stars. Their verifiable explanation linked pulsars to neutron stars and shut down speculation about possible encounters with alien beacons.
Now, let’s get back to Tabby’s star and extraterrestrials. There was a span of about two years between each of the most recently observed episodes of dimming. However, after the last observed event, the Kepler space observatory’s guidance system failed and its further searches of that part of the sky became impossible. The next go round of obscuring may have occurred in 2015, but then no one was watching. It’s now been about four years since the last set of strange events was recorded, and with new found keenness regarding its extraordinary characteristics, many eyes are alert and aimed at this remarkable object.
Amateur astronomers with the American Association of Variable Star Observers regularly point telescopes at Tabby’s star. Another outstanding project has begun thanks to a Kickstarter Campaign with 1,762 backers providing $107,000 worth of funding. Thereby, 24/7 observations of KIC 8462852 are being provided by the Las Cumbres Observatory, a global network of robotic telescopes.
Whatever the outcome of this quest to solve yet another celestial mystery generating sotto voce talk of extraterrestrials, we look forward to new insights directly from KIC 8462852.

The IHS Markit Egypt PMI was down to a five-month low of 48.7 in October 2021 from 46.9 in the previous month, amid a widening of the supply chain crisis. A lack of inputs led to a solid contraction in output and the sharpest increases in both costs and charges for just over three years. Meantime, export sales fell the most in 17 months on the back of a marginal drop in new orders as many firms continued to report an improvement in sales, particularly in tourism hotspots. On the positive side, employment numbers picked up to the greatest extent in two years. Despite this, backlogs of work increased for the third time in four months, on input shortages. Finally, confidence weakened substantially after climbing to a record high in September, due to concerns that high inflation could lead to a slump in demand and reverse the economic recovery. source: Markit Economics
Manufacturing PMI in Egypt averaged 47.99 points from 2012 until 2021, reaching an all time high of 52.50 points in November of 2013 and a record low of 29.70 points in April of 2020.

More pay-on-exit car parks are set to be introduced in an Oxfordshire area - as a car parking contract comes to an end. Two Cherwell District Council car parks are already pay on exit and another two are expected to switch to switch to pay on exit next year.
Cherwell District Council, which covers Banbury and Bicester, claims there are a number of advantages to the system. These include the fact they 'eliminate the need for pay and display' and 'cost the taxpayer less to enforce'.
The council's contract with current car park provider APCOA will expire in November. On September 5, the council's executive is set to approve plans which build on existing relationships with the county council, which took over enforcement of on-street parking in November 2021.
Councillor Dan Sames, Portfolio Holder for Cleaner and Greener Communities, said: “Drivers have benefitted from a number of improvements during the course of our existing contract with APCOA. These include the introduction of pay on exit at two car parks, the addition of electric vehicle chargers at five of them, and this autumn, LED lighting will follow. Our commitment under a new arrangement with Oxfordshire County Council will be to speed up payment machines and increase pay on exit, which I know is popular with drivers. We will retain cash payments so that users have a choice of how to pay.
“Since it was introduced nearly a year ago, the arrangement for enforcement of on-street parking we have with the county council seems to have been a success. It makes sense that enforcement in our car parks should be carried out by the same team, and this will cost the taxpayer less money too. At the same time, we at Cherwell will retain a large degree of control over our car parks, setting the overall enforcement strategy and monitoring their performance.”

It is difficult to self-diagnose the symptoms of lupus, as these symptoms are common to hundreds of disorders – for example, headaches, joint pain, rashes, fatigue – do not mean you have lupus. If you suspect that you have many of the symptoms of lupus, you should go for a medical test, where definite blood ‘markers’ will reveal whether you do or do not have lupus.
True symptoms of lupus
The most common cluster of symptoms of lupus are usually experienced simultaneously:
- a fatigue experienced, which feels way beyond everyday exhaustion
- skin rash
- joint pain, which is unrelated to anything you have done physically
There are other symptoms of lupus, such as severe headaches with or without memory loss, and shortness of breath with or without chest pain. These, however, should be assessed by a doctor immediately, as they are more serious.
Symptoms of lupus reflect inflammation
When one’s antibodies attack one’s own cells, then this a typical autoimmune disorder, which begins a chain reaction of inflammatory responses, causing symptoms of lupus.
The inflammation may be to a small degree, such as skin rash plus joint pain, or, it may be to a life-threatening degree, such as kidney failure plus brain complications.
Whatever the degree of inflammation in one’s symptoms of lupus, your doctor will want to treat them with the following kinds of drugs:
- NSAIDS – Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: For milder symptoms of lupus, Aleve or Advil can be used. For more severe symptoms of lupus, stronger NSAIDS need to be prescribed.
Please note that, the stronger the NSAIDS, the stronger the side effects. Strong side effects include: stomach bleeding, kidney problems, and heart changes.
- CORTICOSTEROIDS – for example, Prednisone is often prescribed, however be prepared for possible weight gain, swollen face, diabetes, bone-thinning, and lowered resistance to infection.
Alternative remedies for symptoms of lupus
Most doctors believe that the cause of lupus is unknown, however, Alternative Medicine Doctors, of which there are very few, know the cause, and will create a superhealthy physical condition within your body, via diet, exercise, and supplements. For details on this, read the resource below about the true cause of Lupis, and how to stop it.
Who would have thought that supplements such as ALA, DHEA, D3, and Omega 3, could produce such powerful anti-inflammatory responses in your body, with absolutely no side effects.
And who would have guessed that symptoms of lupus could disappear for up to six hours after having sex?
Or that eating a meal high in heated oils, refined flours, or sugars, could ignite a severe inflammatory response in the body, instantly.

The Garage Church
In 1966 a group of dedicated Christ followers gathered together in a garage in Waldorf to study the Bible and pray for God's will. Those faithful 30 people became Waldorf Wesleyan Church. As those 30 some people continued to pray and believe God for more, they outgrew their space. But without the resources to build a traditional church they expanded the garage, put in some stained glass, a pulpit and pews, and continued to pray for revival to happen in Southern Maryland. In 1997 they moved to La Plata, Maryland and changed their name to New Life Wesleyan Church. In 2006, New Life planted the Vine Church, and in 2008, the Garage Church. Knowing they could be stronger together, The Garage and The Vine merged together in 2012 to become LifePoint Church. LifePoint Church proudly opened its doors to Phase 1 on February 28, 2016 on Route 228. As the Lord leads, we long to reach more people with the love of God through church planting (in our local region) and campus expansion (with Phases 2 and 3 at our current location) .

Rapid and direct screening of H:C ratio in Archean kerogen via microRaman Spectroscopy
Wednesday, 16 December 2015
Poster Hall (Moscone South)
Rapid evaluation of the preservation of biosignatures in ancient kerogens is essential for the evaluation of the usability of Earth analogues as proxies of Martian geological materials. No single, non-destructive and non-invasive technique currently exists to rapidly determine such state of preservation of the organic matter in relation to its geological and mineral environment. Due to its non-invasive nature, microRaman spectroscopy is emerging as a candidate technique for the qualitative determination maturity of organic matter, by correlating Raman spectral features and aromatic carbon cluster size. Here we will present a novel quantitative method in which before-neglected Raman spectral features are correlated directly and with excellent accuracy with the H:C ratio. In addition to providing a chemical justification of the found direct correlation, we will show its applicability and predictive capabilities in evaluating H:C in Archean kerogens. This novel method opens new opportunities for the use of Raman spectroscopy and mapping. This includes the non-invasively determination of kerogen preservation and microscale chemical diversity within a particular Earth analogue, to be potentially extended to evaluate Raman spectra acquired directly on Mars.

Santa came. Team Canada started the World Juniors with a win.
A lineman threw a touchdown pass in the NFL.
All is right with your local world, no?
The Home Team
The Canucks aren’t back until tomorrow. Once upon a time, the Boxing Day game vs. the Flames seemed like a staple. Not any more.
Honestly, it’s nice getting a little break from the NHL. The season is so long, a chance to catch one’s breath and not even think about it is good.
But here we are, slowly dipping our feet back in it.
Meanwhile, JPat wrote about what he saw as the story of the year: the Canucks drafting Olli Juolevi, or, put another way, not (being able to) drafting one of the now-obvious studs in the top end.
I’m still on board with the Juolevi pick. He’s a great prospect on the blue line, the kind who is so hard to find. But man Matthew Tkachuk has turned heads in Calgary. Not sure anyone imagined him being this big a contributor already.
Speaking of contributors, colour me a touch surprised about Alex Biega’s success since he’s finally appeared in the Canucks lineup. As I wrote on Friday, with Nikita Tryamkin, he’s formed a very strong third unit partnership.
The Canucks aren’t flashy, but the work of the bottom end of the lineup in both limiting chances and generating offensive effort has been a boon to management’s playoff dreams.
The Canucks are no long mired in the depths of the expected goals for projections: they’re now pushing towards the middle of the pack.
The truth though, is tough: they’re now seven points back in the Pacific playoff push, with the Kings also holding a game in hand on the Canucks. The Flames are also sitting on 38 points, tied with the Kings, but they’ve actually played a game more than the Canucks at this point. So there’s chasing the moving target, and then there’s the three teams in front of the Canucks.
The Predators are fourth in the Central and are just four points ahead, but they’ve got two games in hand. You’d also, on paper, call the Preds the better team. The Stars and the Jets are also on 35 points, but have played the same number of games and one more respectively.
Also, hey quick: which team has given up the most goals in the NHL so far? Yes, you got it the team in blue and green and white.
So, yes, even with 47 games to play, the Canucks are up against it.
Here’s a World Juniors/Canucks connection: dman Philippe Myers is a strapping Acadian, much like Team Canada predecessor Luc Bourdon. A key difference is Bourdon was highly rated in his draft year, while Myers had a lot of learning to do. No one drafted him, but the Flyers saw some potential and signed him after they brought him in to training camp a year ago.
Scouts love size, and they love attitude. The comparison with Bourdon might seem a fit, but really, if we’re talking French Canadian Canucks, Alex Burrows might be a bit better, even if his story is still wildly divergent. Myers had at least played major junior when he was 18 — Burrows didn’t make Shawinigan until he was already 19. The rest of course is history, as Burrows took himself to the ECHL and just kept impressing; the parallel for both is they didn’t impress scouts in conventional fashion, they both are clear late bloomers.
Remember the Big Guy?
Terry Jones on Zack Kassian’s productive year in Edmonton, a fan base which used to hate him with a passion.
Here’s Steve Simmons’ effort at the best 100 players in NHL history. He’s gone with the Orr over Gretzky argument. I get it. Orr did fundamentally change the game.
Gretz dominated the league in a way no one else did and in his own weird way, probably forced a re-think of how to defend and play goal. Maybe they’re both examples of why it’s so hard to pick one over another?
Nice start by Canada last night.
Of course, goaltending is the worry. Again.
Most solutions seem to centre around how to change the development system.
Jim Matheson took a look at the last decade. There are a lot of familiar names in there. It’s a reminder of how hard it is to predict goalie development once they hit adulthood, let alone figuring out the progression of their skill from age 14,15,16 onwards…
I love this:
So, yes, the Cowboys won last night. (The big first half from Ezekiel Elliott won me my fantasy football semifinal. Yes, we play to week 17. Yes, I’m also now screwed since one of my two QBs is, yes, Derek Carr. Matt McGloin anyone? Yikes!)
This of course opens the door to a cross over sports commentary.
Also, how good was Emmitt Smith? This good.
Linemen throwing for touchdowns is a good enough reason to roll this out.
The Last Lap
This, from Rob Neyer on a bizarro set of 1980s baseball cards, is really fun.
As is this, which ponders new names for Major League teams.
Good for you, Chinanu Onuaku. Sometimes you just gotta do it your way.
Before Shaq, there was Wilt the Stilt.
Interesting discussion here between Richard Thaler and Malcolm Gladwell on this phenomenon.
Speaking of super-talent, here’s the latest reminder that most of making the elite end of the sports scale is innate ability.
Yeah. Another reminder: Andre de Grasse, 22, has only been sprinting for five years. So all that cash you’re splurging on extra hockey lessons for your seven year old? Stop it. Get them in a whole other sport. Get them in as many sports as possible. Drop them off at the park and tell them to figure it out.
Do anything but over specialize them before they’ve hit puberty.
Of course, there are exceptions to the rule, like Milos Raonic who has been a tennis obsessive since he was a little kid, though it’s probably worth noting that he picked tennis, with his parents’ support, rather than them choosing it for him.
George Michael’s passing brought a nice tribute yesterday by the fans of Manchester United.
Have a great day everyone!

Louis Friedman, Executive Director of The Planetary Society, testifies today to the President's Commission on Implementation of U.S. Space Exploration Policy, more commonly known as the Moon to Mars Commission. Simultaneously, the Society urges the world's public to join its Aim for Mars! campaign "to support the setting of a human exploration goal for all countries around the world."
As the largest space interest group in the world, the Society is addressing three main topics at the hearing: public interest, international cooperation and lunar missions.
"We believe that the new space exploration policy is extraordinarily well crafted, balancing the public interest in science and exploration with the practical need for changing America's human spaceflight program," said Friedman.
The Planetary Society recommends that the Moon to Mars Commission create "an international lunar way-station to prepare the way for human missions to explore Mars." A lunar way-station could serve as a test-bed for the technology and experience needed to create future outposts on Mars to sustain a robotic and human presence on the planet's surface.
The testimony also urges a re-examination of American policies about use of foreign launch vehicles and export control laws inhibiting international cooperation; the earliest possible retirement of the shuttle; and moving ahead with new transportation for exploration beyond Earth orbit.
The Planetary Society petition states, "Humanity has been stalled in Earth orbit for more than 30 years since the end of the Apollo program. The human spaceflight program needs a goal, and the goal is to Aim for Mars."
Promoting a bold new vision of human spaceflight, the Society asks the public to support the space initiative by signing its on-line petition to Senator John McCain, Chairman, and Members of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation and Representative Sherwood Boehlert and Members of the House Committee on Science. The petition will be delivered to Congress signed by US citizens.
The citizens of all countries are encouraged to Aim for Mars! by signing the petition. The Planetary Society will deliver the messages to the appropriate space authorities around the world.
Louis Friedman is testifying Monday, May 3rd, at commission hearings held at the Asia Society, 725 Park Avenue, New York City, NY between 3 and 4 PM. The commission is hearing testimony from invited speakers both May 3rd and 4th. Hearings are open to the public.
About The Planetary Society
The Planetary Society has inspired millions of people to explore other worlds and seek other life. With the mission to empower the world's citizens to advance space science and exploration, its international membership makes the non-governmental Planetary Society the largest space interest group in the world. Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray and Louis Friedman founded The Planetary Society in 1980. Bill Nye, a longtime member of The Planetary Society's Board, serves as CEO.

Rather than trying to alter your spouse, end up being the changes you want to read within partnership.
As opposed to attempting to improve your companion, be the modification you want to discover inside commitment.
Versus attempting to change your mate, end up being the change you wish to see within partnership.
Ben and Alicia become both waiting for the other person to change. I find it continuously inside my private training.
“I’ve started unhappy for many years,” complains Ben. “I’ve asked Alicia to give me personally room, but items don’t appear to be changing. It is like I can’t inhale.”
“Ben enjoys their friends over every week-end,” Alicia reflects. “the guy doesn’t give consideration to my personal goals and that I feeling so by yourself.”
If you would like your partner to improve, start by acknowledging them for who they are. Inside the Seven axioms for Making relationships efforts, Dr. John Gottman says, “People can alter on condition that they feel they are basically preferred and acknowledged how they is. When individuals believe slammed, disliked, and unappreciated they are struggling to alter. Instead, they think under siege and dig in to secure on their own.”
As opposed to criticizing your partner, tell yourself out of all the issues appreciate about them, and promote those actions together. End up being genuinely interested in researching precisely why they see or do something differently than you, and become open to respecting plus honoring the thing that makes each of you unique.
Definitely, there are some things that should never be tolerated in a partnership, like misuse, dependency, or cheating. These behaviour needs to be dealt with in a loving and direct means by using a professional. Even in those matters, you’ll be able to take anyone even though you dont take their own attitude.
Vulnerability and closeness get in conjunction
Exactly what Ben and Alicia don’t see is the fact that they aren’t actually arguing regarding amount of time they spend collectively. The root concern within their relationship is that neither lover can reveal their requirements in a non-blameful method.
That they had never ever talked about just what alone time and time along designed to each of them. By writing about this inside my company, Ben finally recognized Alicia’s fear of are alone. His knowing directed your to carve around time for you invest with each other throughout the vacations.
People seeking a much deeper psychological connection need to comprehend that susceptability and intimacy get hand-in-hand. This means, closeness could only take place when lovers were susceptible sufficient to promote their particular greatest dreams, anxieties, and fantasies without judgement.
Changes starts with you
Do you save money time questioning your partner’s keywords or behavior than examining yours?
Blaming your spouse can feel close from inside the minute, it’s dangerous as it can cause fury and resentment.
Dispute is certainly not a poor thing in relations. After viewing thousands of partners in the laboratory for over forty years, Dr. Gottman uncovered straightforward truth: all partners argue. The essential difference between the people that remain collectively and those who www.adultdatingwebsites.net/friend-finderx-review divorce could be the ways they fix after dispute. The professionals of relationships grab duty due to their character in the problem and alter their particular behavior.
Dr. Gottman describes, “The partners that do not repairs those hurts end up getting festering injuries that grow bigger daily, the period, therefore the year until they ultimately break the couple apart. Fix is absolutely vital in almost any sort of commitment, specially close relations.”
Listed below are four things you can do rather than wanting to replace your mate that will change your relationship for the best.
1. feel an improved partner many individuals stay-in poor relationships using the desire to change their unique lover. In-marriage regulations, Dr. Harriet Lerner produces, “If you don’t replace your part in a stuck routine, no changes arise. Changes arises from the base upwards: definitely from the individual that is in the most aches, or who’s got minimal electricity, or who’s destroyed or compromised excessively during the commitment.”
2. concentrate on the problem at hand When you consider changing your lover, your miss the chance to come together to come up with an answer. You’re no longer on a single group. As an alternative, focus on the problem in front of you to fulfill each of your preferences.
Outrage is usually an indicator of root harm, anxiety, and problems, so talk in we comments and focus on showing your emotions in a susceptible manner in which encourages your lover to know your own serious pain, versus forces them away.
3. bring responsibility the audience is in charge of just how all of our keywords and steps make the lover experience. Apologize your companion by using duty the problem, actually simply limited portion, which will confirm their particular emotions, encourage forgiveness, and enable you both to move on.
4. Complain without blame In Why Marriages triumph or crash, Dr. Gottman describes that criticizing your spouse is among the Four Horsemen that forecasts divorce. It is unlike supplying a critique or voicing a complaint. A criticism attacks the center of a person’s fictional character while a complaint targets a certain attitude.
Successful partners don’t forget to render one another the benefit of the doubt and consider that they’re both carrying out the most effective they can.
In The Science of Trust, Dr. Gottman advices lovers to share their attitude with respect to a positive requirement, rather than the things they’re doing not require. By being close friends, you’ll create a healthy bond that will help heal and browse complicated minutes together.
You will find a saying becoming the change you would like to see in the field. Gandhi suggests us, “If we’re able to transform ourselves, the inclinations in the arena would also alter. As one adjustment his or her own nature, thus does the attitude worldwide modification towards him.” I really believe this to be true in connections besides.
Rather than attempting to improve your companion, be the changes you intend to discover within union.

Over 40 years of study with a huge number of partners seems straightforward truth: small affairs frequently can make larger variations over time. Had gotten one minute? Register below.

BP is back – back in the Gulf of Mexico, that is. Wednesday, the federal government issued the international oil giant its first drilling permit since the company’s Macondo well blew out in 5,000 feet of water in April, 2010. That incident killed eleven, spawned the largest oil spill in U. S. history, and sent a drillship worth more than half a billion dollars to the bottom.
Like other permit applicants before it, BP was required to detail not just the company’s plan for preventing another Macondo-like blowout, but also provide a plan to contain and mitigate any spill that might result. Federal regulators at the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) issued the permit to drill at the company’s Kaskida field, about 200 miles off the Louisiana coastline in the Keathley Canyon block. The permitted site is in 6,034 feet of water, some 1,000 feet deeper than the Macondo site. With permit in hand, BP could be ready to begin drilling at the site in the next few weeks.
Last week the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) approved a seven-well development plan for Kaskida, which was discovered in 2006 by a wildcat well drilled from the Deepwater Horizon. BP’s Houston-based Gulf operations unit estimates that the field contains up to 3 billion barrels of crude, making it one of the company’s largest discoveries ever in U. S. waters. After buying out Devon’s 30% stake in the field last year, BP now holds 100% interest in Kaskida.
BP’s drilling and emergency plans exceed federal requirements, including such details as the installation of double shear rams on the well’s blowout preventer – the critical equipment whose failure is alleged to have contributed to the Macondo disaster. The company also filed a disaster plan, a key detail of which is the estimated 184 days needed to drill a relief well.
Despite federal regulators’ satisfaction with BP’s drilling and safety plan, some members of Congress and many environmentalists remain opposed to re-entry of the Gulf of Mexico by BP. Representative Ed Markey (D, MA), a ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee that oversees offshore exploration and production, suggests that BP should be barred from the Gulf until the company has paid any penalties owed for the Macondo spill. Nevertheless, BP has remained active in the offshore Gulf as a non-operating partner at several fields, including fields operated by Houston-based Hess and Australian oil and mining giant BHP Billiton.

Meta. Nicodemus (John 3:1-15) was not acquainted with the power of Spirit, and had no understanding of regeneration although he was a "teacher of Israel " Israel meaning thoughts pertaining to the religious department of the mind:
The new birth is a vague uncertainty to the intellectual Christian, hence there has gradually been evolved a popular belief in a change to come to the soul after death in those who have accepted the church creed and been counted Christians. But in his instructions to Nicodemus, Jesus makes no mention of a postmortem resurrection. He cites the blowing of the wind as an example of those who are born of Spirit. The new birth is a change that comes here and now. It has to do with the present man, the "Son of man," the real I AM in each of us. "And no one hath ascended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of man, who is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even BO must the Son of man be lifted up." This man in each of us is divine now, is in heaven now, but his manifestation is still in limbo. He must be lifted out of this condition into a spiritual one; this is being "born anew."
The two important factors in the new-birth process are to put away the old and to receive the new. Water is the natural and familiar symbol of cleansing from impurity, sin, and all its material filth. Spirit is the principle of the new life of harmony, the power from on high that puts in divine order both mind and body.
The Pharisees refused to be baptized by John. They did not consider that they needed the repentance that he demanded. They thought that they were good enough to take high places in the kingdom of God, because of their popularly accepted religious supremacy. Many people today refuse to deny their short-comings: they hold that they are now perfect in Divine Mind and that it is superfluous to deny that which has no existence. However, they are still subject to the appetites and passions of carnality, and will continue to be so until they are "born anew."
The new birth may be explained in a few words, as follows: It is the change from carnal to spiritual consciousness through the begetting and quickening power of the word of Truth. The begetting and quickening take place in man's inner consciousness, and the process of being born anew includes the whole of man--spirit, soul, and body. To be born again is to be made a "new creature," having "this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus," and a body like "the body of his glory."

(IFEX-TMG) - 8 March 2011 - To mark the occasion of the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, on 8 March 2011, members of the International Freedom of Expression Exchange Tunisia Monitoring Group (IFEX-TMG), a coalition of 20 IFEX members, commend the brave women journalists, activists, lawyers and judges who never stopped calling for greater freedom of expression and human rights in Tunisia, despite efforts by the government to silence them through any means possible.
IFEX-TMG members send a message of solidarity to partner organisation the Tunisian Association of Democratic Women (Association tunisienne des femmes democrats, ATFD) and congratulate ATFD President Sana Ben Achour for standing strong despite targeted and relentless harassment while she carried out important work such as monitoring the media during the elections. On the occasion of International Women's Day, IFEX-TMG members are sending symbolic roses to the ATFD, which is holding an event in Tunis on 12 and 13 March on "independent Tunisian women after the revolution".
"We were struck by the ATFD's dynamism, tenacity and sheer courage in speaking out against violence against women in the face of the extreme repression that Tunisian activists were facing at that time, weeks before the fall of Ben Ali," said Tamsin Mitchell of PEN International. A December visit to Tunisia by Mitchell and IFEX-TMG Chair Rohan Jayasekera of Index on Censorship was shrouded by security concerns and the shadow of an oppressive government, whose heavy-handed censorship made it hard for independent voices to be heard.
"Over the past years, we have used the occasion of International Women's Day to decry attacks on women in Tunisia, including slander and abuse faced by women journalists and activists in Tunisia," says Jayasekera. "Happily, this year, we are celebrating the brave Tunisians who have helped turn the page towards a democracy where women can speak freely without fear of reprisal."
In December, IFEX-TMG planned to work with the ATFD to address the sanctions against independent women judges from the Association of Tunisian Judges (AMT), such as secretary general Kalthoum Kennou, who were moved far away from their families and saw their salaries reduced as a result of their outspoken calls for an independent judiciary. Now we welcome the news that Kennou and other women judges have returned to their positions in Tunis, and we support them as they continue in their important work. In the past there have been myriad ways to silence free expression, like jailing outspoken journalists, but Kennou and her colleagues are committed to working to ensure judges are not compromised when dealing with criminal cases brought wrongfully against members of the media.
While Tunisia indeed has a long history of promoting women's rights since they were enshrined in the 1950s, they were not fully protected since the reign of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali began in 1987. Formal protections of women's rights under the constitution were used to disguise oppressive measures by the regime, even fooling Western diplomats into taking a more measured approach with the regime.
The country's poor treatment of outspoken women has made its advances in women's rights appear as empty rhetoric. Pro-government media were harnessed to abuse women journalists and activists since 2008, calling women who dared to criticise the Ben Ali regime "prostitutes" or "traitors on the payroll of foreign governments or groups". Among those persecuted have been women partners of the IFEX-TMG including journalists Sihem Bensedrine and Naziha Rejiba of Observatoire de la Liberté de la Presse, de L'Edition et de la Création (OLPEC), an IFEX member. One of the goals of the IFEX-TMG and its partners will be to work towards media reform where media act ethically and don't engage in slander and defamation.
"When a country goes through a momentous revolution such as Tunisia has just done, and benefited largely by women's participation, the new rulers should not ignore women's interests and variety of roles they could play in building a new country where free expression and human rights are enjoyed by all," comments writer Elisabeth Eide of Norwegian PEN. Women journalists should be able to write freely about new developments without fear of harassment, jail or other attacks.

Q: With plug-in hybrid and electric cars due to hit the roads sometime soon, will there be places to plug them in besides at home? And if so, how much will it cost to recharge them?
– Nicole Koslowsky, Pompano Beach, Fla.
A: Gasoline-electric hybrids, such as the Toyota Prius, are popular due to their fuel-efficiency, and consumers have been clamoring for carmakers to up the ante and give these vehicles a plug so the batteries can be charged at home and not just by the gas engine and other onboard features. That greatly reduces the need for gas except for long trips.
Although the all-electric Tesla reportedly went 241 miles on a charge in a recent European road rally, its everyday stop-and-go efficiency may be less, and drivers could need “pit stops” far from home.
So what’s a driver to do when he needs a charge and is nowhere near home? A few forward-thinking large companies have installed electric outlets accessible to employee parking, but most plug-in hybrid and electric-car drivers will be looking for help well beyond the scope of their commutes.
In the US, several cities in California, as well as Seattle, Chicago, Phoenix, and others are setting up recharging infrastructures. Paris already has more than 80 recharging stations throughout the city and suburbs. London is working to install more than 40 electric recharging stations.
According to the California Cars Initiative (CalCars), which promotes plug-in hybrids, Americans recharging their plug-ins via a regular 120V outlet should expect to pay about the equivalent of $1 per gallon of gas. “Using the average US electricity rate of nine cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), 30 miles of electric driving will cost 81 cents,” the group maintains. Assuming an average fuel economy of 25 miles per gallon and gasoline at $3 per gallon, “this equates to 75 cents a gallon for equivalent electricity.”
Toyota has already released a few hundred plug-in Priuses in the US to university and commercial fleet customers. The company will monitor the vehicles’ performance and use the data to tweak the design for a consumer-friendly version to be released sometime after 2010. Pricing on the vehicles, which are expected to get 65 m.p.g. or more in combined gas/electric mode and can run on electricity alone, is as yet undecided. But probably the car will command a premium of several thousand dollars over the cost of a regular hybrid Prius. The fact that such a feature might obviate the need for gasoline entirely – save for long trips – may well make it worth the extra upfront cost for some buyers.

Glaucoma is an eye disease that most often develops after the age of 60. It is believed to be hereditary, and there have been several genes identified that relate to the development of high internal eye pressure. The condition causes a buildup of fluid in the front part of the eye, which increases the pressure in the eye. When the pressure increases, it causes damage to the optic nerve.
Once this damage occurs, it cannot be reversed. This test is painless and relatively fast. It is either performed by blowing a puff of air into your eye or by touching a pen-like device to the front of your eye. If the latter test is used, numbing eye drops will be placed into your eyes in order to reduce discomfort.
Glaucoma Types and Symptoms
There are two types of glaucoma, including open-angle and closed-angle. In order to understand these two types, it’s important to understand how the fluid flows through the front of the eye. Your eyes create fluid that circulates internally. Once the circulation process is complete, it drains through an opening between the iris and cornea, called the trabecular meshwork. When the trabecular meshwork becomes partially or completely clogged, it results in higher than normal eye pressure.
Most individuals have open-angle glaucoma. This occurs when the trabecular meshwork is partially blocked. The decreased flow of fluid results in a gradual increase in eye pressure. The increase is usually so slight that individuals can have significant vision loss before they realize there is a problem. There are typically no other symptoms associated with this form of the disease.
Closed-angle glaucoma typically occurs after open-angle glaucoma. This stage of the eye disease is characterized by the complete closure of the trabecular meshwork. The closed-angle form is much more dangerous and can be considered an emergency situation. If your vision suddenly becomes blurry, have a sudden severe headache, eye pain, nausea or halos or colors around lights, it is important to call our office immediately to prevent blindness.
Risk Factors for Increased Eye Pressure
- 60 Years of Age or Older
- Have a History of Eye Surgery
- Have a Previous Eye Injury
- Having Extreme Nearsightedness or Farsightedness
- High Internal Eye Pressure
- Other People in the Family Have High Eye Pressure
Treatments for High Intraocular Eye Pressure
Glaucoma can be treated, and the inner pressure in your eye can be reduced in order to prevent damage to your optic nerve. Common treatments include medications and/or laser eye surgery, Our doctors will determine what type of treatment is needed.
The most common treatment used to reduce internal eye pressure is daily eye drops. These eye drops can either decrease the amount of fluid the eye produces, or they can increase the flow of fluid through the trabecular meshwork.
Laser Glaucoma Surgery
If the eye drops fail to adequately reduce the internal pressure in the eye, laser eye surgery may be needed. This surgery involves either opening the trabecular meshwork or creating a very small hole in the iris to increase fluid drainage.
