Following the postponement of APLF until June 2020, the LWG Main Member Meeting will no longer take place in Hong Kong. As an alternative, we are investigation options for relocating the meeting.
At present, we are considering holding a Member Meeting in London on the same day (3rd April 2020).
As not all members will be able to travel to the UK for this meeting, we would aim to provide access via video conferencing and, post-meeting, we will make the video recording available for members who are unable to attend either in-person or remotely. The timing for the day would remain 09:00 to 16:30 (GMT).
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused as a result. We thank you for your patience at this time.
Further updates will follow shortly.

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart join Judy Woodruff to discuss the week in politics, including passing a COVID relief bill without a minimum wage increase, the prospects for President Biden's Cabinet nominations, and the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Judy Woodruff:
And now to the analysis of Brooks and Capehart. That's New York Times columnist David Brooks, and Jonathan Capehart, columnist for The Washington Post.
Hello to both of you. So good to see you on this Friday night.
While President Biden is in Texas, David, he's got some problems back here at home emerging. His COVID relief plan is moving through the House of Representatives, but, in the Senate, no Republicans seem to be on board. And then you have the minimum wage part of it knocked out.
Where does that leave the whole thing? Why have they had such a hard time getting Republicans on board?
David Brooks:
Well, $1.9 trillion is a lot of money. The Republican — 10 Republican senators came in with an 800 — a 600-some-odd billion bill, and that was just too wide a gap.
So, the Democrats decided, we need to do this fast moving, we need to do this big.
I'm going to interrupt you. David, I'm going to interrupt you because we're having a little difficulty with your camera. You're not in focus.
I see that.
We're going to give folks a chance to figure that out.
Apology. We're going to go to Jonathan first.
So, Jonathan, you get to go first on this. But with the president's COVID relief plan, where are we now?
Jonathan Capehart:
Well, right now, the big thing is that the minimum wage piece of it, the $15 minimum wage increase ,was stripped out of the bill by the Senate parliamentarian.
It is something, actually, that President Biden signaled was coming when he did that interview with Norah O'Donnell on CBS a few weeks back, where he mused that this probably isn't going to make it into the bill.
And, of course, he would think that and know that, given that he served more than three decades in the United States Senate. He is a creature of the Senate. He knows what the rules are.
And, so with the minimum wage piece out of the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package, I think it makes it easier to get it passed out of the Senate. Remember, both Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema were against, said they were against raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
And so now I think it now puts the focus on all the other pieces within the COVID relief package. That makes it easier, I think, for the Democrats to pass the bill with Democratic votes only. That's assuming no other Republicans sign on to the bill.
All right, David, I think we have got this straightened out, sort of almost. Yes, we can see you pretty clearly now, which is the way we like to see you.
Why do you think there have been problems getting Republicans on board with this COVID plan?
Well, I thought all my thoughts were blurry.
I think they — actually, can I just mention — Jonathan was talking about the minimum wage piece.
I think it has absolutely become a fascinating moment to see if — whether we can have compromise. So, the Democrats want 15. They're not going to get it. They're not — as Jonathan said, there may be 48 votes. They need 60.
And so Mitt Romney and Tom Cotton are for 10. Joe Manchin is for 11. So, can they cut a deal and get it to 12 or 13? And would that be good enough? And, to me, that would be good enough.
I personally think 15 is fine in places like New York and California, where the wage structure is high. But it's too high in a lot of other places. And the Congressional Budget Office estimates that it would eliminate 1.4 million jobs. That's a lot of jobs.
So, a $12 to $13 minimum wage would make more sense in more places. And — but we will see if the Democrats are in the mood to come down and if Republicans are in the mood to go up. To me, it's a crucial test of whether there even can be bipartisanship, because this is a pretty simple issue where you can split the difference.
And, Jonathan, do you think they can? Do you think they can come together on that?
I would hope that they could come together on this.
Look, I actually think it is a good thing and for the best that the minimum wage was stripped out of the COVID relief bill, simply because the nation needs to have the conversation about the minimum wage, how much it should be, how — over how much time it should it should be phased in.
With it stripped out, we can actually have this conversation and have the compromise — potentially have the compromise that David is talking about there.
You know, and to his point about the minimum wage being — meaning something different in other areas, you know, we have seen states raise the minimum wage by popular vote. We saw that happen in Florida in 2020, where the state went for President Trump. He won the state, but 60 percent of Floridians voted to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
I think it is a debate worth having in the country.
We shall see.
But, David, before I let you go on that, is it a problem for Joe Biden if this goes through, the COVID relief, on a party-line vote, without Republicans?
It's not ideal. He ran on — yes. He ran on bipartisanship.
But this bill has 70 percent support, or nearly 70 percent support. I'm really struck by how little Republicans are actually fighting this. They'd rather talk about something else or Neera Tanden or something than talk about this.
And I think that's because they have lost some of the big fight or the debate on fiscal — government spending and fiscal health. There used to be a strong — a large number of people who really did not like government spending programs. And Republicans could win elections on that.
After Donald Trump, that kind of conservative is much less significant. There are fewer of them. And so Republicans have lost the overall debate on spending. And they don't seem to be able to be even trying to defeat the COVID-19. They will it go through on reconciliation.
And, Jonathan, David raises Neera Tanden, the one nominee of President Biden's Cabinet who does seem to be running into real problems.
What do her prospects look like to you? She would be the director of Office of Management and Budget.
I think she absolutely should be the director of Office — the Office of Management and Budget. I think the fact that her nomination is still alive says a lot about her, but it says, I think, a lot more about President Biden and the Biden White House, and the fact that, when they put her up for nomination, it wasn't for show.
It wasn't as you know something to do. It's because the president thought she was the best person for the job and that the president is going to stick by her, until which time it becomes clear, if it becomes clear, that she cannot get the votes in committee.
But, look, the only thing Republicans are talking about when it comes to Neera Tanden are her tweets.
And after four years of President Trump and his incendiary tweets against elected officials, and private citizens on Twitter, tweeting things and saying things about people that were just uncalled for and unbecoming of a president, to then focus on tweets from Neera Tanden, Republicans, who would be — reporters would come up to them and say, what's your reaction to this latest tweet from President Trump, and they would feign ignorance: Oh, I have not seen it, I'm not paying attention to it.
All of a sudden, they're paying attention to tweets from Neera Tanden? It is not fair.
And I just have — I chuckle at now all the tender hearts out there and the tender feelings within the Republican Party about a strong — about a woman with a point of view and values and who was not afraid to defend them.
And I'm sure, David, you can explain that.
Oh, yes, Republicans have had a come-to-Jesus moment where incivility is completely offensive to them all of a sudden
No, I agree with Jonathan on that. I do — I follow — I know Neera a bit and I follow her Twitter presence. I thought, just as a think tank head, she was a little loose and raucous and inappropriate, frankly. It's certainly not enough to get rid of — or to not nominate her as OMB director.
I think there's a subtle thing going on here. For — since I have been covering politics, since David Stockman's days, if people remember as Reagan's budget director, there's been a certain sort of person who has been the budget — OMB director, and that person is a super wonky, dry personality, white male.
And Neera Tanden fits none of those categories. And so I think she just doesn't — people look at her and they don't see the normal OMB director. And that's part of the unconscious undertone of this whole thing.
But Republicans are certainly hyped up about it. I think it's the only battle they think they can win. I think they probably will. I think, once Joe Manchin said he was against her, I think it's very hard for any Republican suddenly to be for her.
So I think, hopefully, they will find another spot in the administration for her. She's a very talented version. And they will probably have to find somebody else for that job.
And, Jonathan, in the last minutes that we have, I want to ask you both about the Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC, taking place here near Washington.
The lineup of speakers, the messages coming through, what do you make of it? And President Trump will be there Sunday.
Right. President Trump will be…
Former President Trump.
Yes, former President Trump will be there Sunday.
The speakers, from what I have been able to see so far, are hewing to the conservative line — conservative line, as it has been expressed during the four years of President Trump.
Clearly, the — at least at CPAC, the far right of the Republican Party is in the hands of Donald Trump. We're going to know and find out for sure when he speaks on Sunday. But any thinking that, because they lost the Senate and because they lost the White House, that the Republican Party and the and the right wing of the Republican Party is going to somehow moderate itself and try to become a bigger tent, I mean, just disabuse yourself of that notion.
And what we saw today at the conference, among others, was Ted Cruz, who — as we mentioned earlier, senator from Texas, who flew off to Mexico during that terrible winter storm last week, he had some comments today.
He joked about the Texas trip, and then basically mocked the wearing of masks. Here's a little of what Ted Cruz had to say.
Sen. Ted Cruz:
Now they're saying, everybody can get immunized, we can have herd immunity everywhere, and we're going to wear masks for the next 300 years.
And, by the way, not just one mask, two, three, four. You can't have too many masks.
How much virtue do you want to signal? This is just dumb.
So, David, how winning an argument is that?
What really strikes me about CPAC is that it's not about government anymore. It's not even about politics anymore.
It's culture war issues. It's either the cancel culture they're against. They're against wokism. And I guess they're against mask-wearing.
And this is not about a normal political party that wants to pass an agenda. The agenda, political agenda, is off the table. And then, as far as the mask-wearing, they have made a hero of Governor DeSantis of Florida, maybe — making — maybe he will be the next Republican presidential nominee.
But when you actually look at the states and where they rank on effectiveness in preventing COVID infections, there's almost no correlation between the politics of the state and the infection rate of the state.
Florida's like 28th, which is pretty decent for a state with a lot of seniors. But it's right next to California. So, progressive and conservative states seem to be doing — it's just kind of random.
So, to turn this into an ideological issue, and to be anti-science about it, strikes me as kind of bizarre.
And just in a few seconds, Jonathan, we will see how far that takes Senator Cruz.
I found it interesting that he's railing against masks, when we spent all week watching him wheel his roller bag through an airport wearing a mask with the flag of Texas on it.
I agree with David. CPAC is no longer about policies and issues. It's culture wars. And the clip you just showed of Senator Cruz, it's as if they're all doing stand-up. There's no real vision for the country in anything that he said in that clip you showed us.
On that note, we will leave both of you. Thank you.
Jonathan Capehart, David Brooks, thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks, Judy.

The only thing spreading faster than coronavirus are the fake news stories about coronavirus! Three customers in the last week have brought their computers to my shop because they clicked on links that came up in search results that claimed to have new information about coronavirus. One customer clicked on a link in their email that claimed to have shocking information about coronavirus. They all had to have malware removal done.
Remember, cybercriminals always use the most sensational news stories as bait to get people to click on links in emails or search results in order to get malware installed onto the victim's computer.
It's safer to get coronavirus information only from legitimate news websites. Cybercriminals often use sensational headlines like:

The enzyme peptide: N-glycanase (EC 184.108.40.206) is an endoglycosidase which cleaves N-linked glycans from incorrectly folded glycoproteins exported from the endoplasmic reticulum during ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Clinical mutations in this enzyme (resulting in loss or decrease in function) are responsible for the rare congenital disorder termed N-GLY1. N-GLY1 disorder was first identified by next generation sequencing in 2012, and as such there exists little information as to the cellular effects of N-glycanase deficiency.
In this study, N-glycanase deficiency was examined in a well-characterised cell model (HEK-293). Cellular effects were examined following pharmacological inhibition of N-glycanase using carbobenzoxy-valyl-ananyl-aspartyl-[O-methyl]-fluoromethylketone (Z-VAD-fmk) and, genetic knockdown by siRNA. Attempts were also made to generate a knockout cell line using CRISPR/Cas9.
Using molecular and cellular techniques, this study has confirmed that in HEK-293, pharmacological N-glycanase inhibition or siRNA knockdown does not activate ER stress, oxidative stress or change the glycoprotein profile of the cell. Both treatments were associated with a small increase in ThT fluorescence associated with protein aggregates and identified that autophagy was increased in pharmacological N-glycanase inhibition and siRNA knockdown, and that this likely represents a protective measure. Autophagy dysregulation using ATG13 KO MEF cells found a change in the redox environment of the cell. This effect was further exacerbated in both HEK293, WT MEFs and ATG13 KO MEFs by growth in glucose-free media supplemented with galactose to reduce glycolysis as an energy source. This is suggestive of mitochondrial dysregulation, although no changes in mitochondrial membrane potential or mitochondrial content were identified. Proteomics analysis of immuno-precipitated autophagosomes induced under pharmacological N-glycanase inhibition and siRNA knockdown revealed increased intensity of mitochondrial proteins in these samples indicative of mitophagy which may play a role in the cellular response to impairments of N-glycanase function.

What Is Form 5500?
Also known as the Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan, Form 5500 is a filing required annually by the Department of Labor (DOL) & Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Form 5500 reports and discloses information on benefit plans to ensure:
- The operation and management of these plans comply with certain Titles outlined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
- Sufficient information is provided to regulators to effectively safeguard the rights and benefits of participants and beneficiaries.
Who Is Required To File?
Plan administrators who offer employee welfare benefit plans with 100+ covered employee participants at the beginning of the plan year are required to file a Form 5500. The filing must be completed within 7 months following the close of the same plan year unless you qualify for an exemption or file Form 5558 with the IRS and receive a one-time, 2 1/2 month extension.
What Happens If We Don't File?
Complete failure or refusal to file a Form 5500 within the specified time frame may result in a civil penalty of $2,140/day, if discovered. Penalties of $50 to $300/day (max of $30,000/year) may be assessed for late or non-filers.
What If I Haven't Filed In Years?
To encourage voluntary compliance, the DOL has established the Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance Program (DFVCP) which drastically reduces civil penalties for plan administrators who voluntarily comply with the annual Form 5500 filing requirement. Fines are lowered to $10 per calendar day of noncompliance with a $2,000 single plan year maximum and a total cap of $4,000 per plan regardless of the number of delinquent years.
Act Now!
With increased DOL compliance investigations, it is imperative you discover noncompliance before the DOL or IRS in order to avoid financial penalties.
If you administer a welfare benefit plan covering 100+ employees and are unsure of whether you have filed a Form 5500 previously, contact our Form 5500 procurement partners at ABV Advisors by emailing Anne Vandeveer at email@example.com or contacting your Gibson representative right away.

Maine snowmobiler dies of injuries from crash
Staff Writer
Fosters Daily Democrat
LILY BAY TOWNSHIP, Maine (AP) — A 68-year-old Maine man has died of injuries suffered in a weekend snowmobile accident on a trail four miles from Kokadjo.
The Maine Warden Service said Paul Tibbetts of Lily Bay was riding with his five nephews Sunday when he missed a turn on a groomed trail and struck a snow bank. Tibbetts, who was wearing a helmet, was thrown over the front of his machine and landed on his back.
Tibbetts' nephews transported him to a Greenville hospital. He was transferred to Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, where he died Tuesday.
The warden service said Tibbetts' death was the sixth snowmobile-related fatality of the season.

On Saturday, we went pumpkin pickin' in the Hudson Valley, one of the most beautiful places in the country.
The leaves hadn't really turned yet, but it was still fall up there.
We stopped a few farms, got pumpkins, apples, apple cider, apple cider doughnuts, you know, the works. We also got mums for the season.
Going pumpkin picking and the works is a new tradition – a great one.

The action of "Samurai Champloo" takes place in feudal Japan of the Edo era, however, the specific time is conditional, this world in Watanabe's version is filled with a huge number of anachronisms and references to modern culture. Thus, for example, some events speak of the middle of the 17th century, when such historical figures as Hisikawa Moronobu (episode 5) appear, while others point to the end of the 18th century, and in episode 19 even a glimpse of Eugene Delacroix's painting "Freedom, leading the people ", written in 1830.

The Flying Steamroller by the Artist Chris Burden is a twelve ton steamroller that is attached to a pivoting arm with a counterbalance weight. The steamroller is driven in a circle until its maximum speed is reached. At the same time, a hydraulic piston is activated and pushes up the beam from which the steamroller is suspended, causing the steamroller to lift off the ground. Because of the combined weight of the steamroller and the counterbalance, which is approximately 48 tons, the steamroller, once lifted off the ground, continues to spin, or "fly" for several minutes. As the steamroller nears the end of its circular motion, or when the spinning momentum is exhausted, the hydraulic piston is slowly retracted and the steamroller gently lands. I filmed this last Sunday outside Tate Britain.

H.S. Tennis: Montclair remains focused heading into Group 4 semifinals
Mounties tied with Newark Academy in conference standings
MONTCLAIR – Andrea Noyes has made it a point to let her Montclair High School boys' tennis team know that it's not the time of the year to start feeling overconfident and complacent.
With the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association team tournament in full swing and the top-seeded Mounties playing in Thursday's North 1 Group 4 semifinal round, the head coach wants to make sure her team remains focused and their eye on the prize.
"All your accomplishments and success before this doesn't guarantee you anything once you get to this point of the season," said Noyes, whose Mounties host fourth-seed Ridgewood in Thursday's semifinals. "Everyone is fighting for a team title and anyone can beat you at any time. It's important that we stay focused and concentrate on our next opponent."
After earning a first-round bye, Montclair (18-4) defeated No. 8 Clifton, 5-0 in the quarterfinals on Monday afternoon.
First singles standout Leo Kupferman defeated Clifton's Heath Patel in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0 and teammate Peter Messenger cruised past Leigh Wang, 6-0, 6-2 at second singles.
At third singles, Montclair's Charles Becker defeated Clifton's Kishan Mehta, 6-0, 6-0.
"Everyone contributed and that's how it's been for us all season," said Noyes.
Both doubles teams swept in straight sets as Calvin Alexander and Garrett Pahl won 6-0, 6-0 at first doubles as did the second doubles tandem of Aaron Reznik and Kevin Wallace by similar scores.
Last Friday, Montclair tuned-up for the state tournament with a 3-2 victory over rivals Livingston in a regular-season match. It was the second time this spring the Mounties defeated the Lancers after handing Livingston a 3-2 setback last month.
After beating Livingston ace Earl Hsieh in their first meeting, Kupferman dropped a 6-1, 6-3 match to Hsieh to split the season series with his rival. In their first encounter on April 23, Kupferman outlasted Hsieh in three sets, 6-4, 3-6, 10-6.
"They've built up a competitive rivalry," said Noyes. "They split this season and could end up facing each other down the road."
The Mounties hung on for the team victory as Messenger avenged a previous setback to Livingston's Jason Grant with a 6-2, 6-1 victory at second singles and Becker hung on to defeat Josh Meyers, 6-0, 6-4.
The Wallace twins, Kevin and Andrew, picked up a key victory at second doubles.
Ridgewood (16-3) finds themselves in Thursday's semifinal round after defeating No. 13 Union City, 5-0 in the opening round and No. 5 Kearny, 5-0 in this week's quarterfinals.
On the other side of the North 1 Group 4 bracket, second-seed Livingston advanced to Thursday's semifinals where they will host No. 3 Bergen Tech. The Lancers cruised past No. 15 Eastside, 5-0 and seventh-seed West Orange, 5-0.
"If the seeds hold true, we would face Livingston in the sectional final next week," said Noyes. "But like I said, you can't take anything for granted and anything can happen, especially this time of the year. We can't look ahead and we need to stay focused."
As of this week, Montclair and Newark Academy (17-5) are tied in the conference standings after the Minutemen stunned Livingston, 3-2 on Tuesday in a regular-season meeting.
"I want the team to give it their all in Thursday's semifinal match against Ridgewood, but I don't want them feeling overconfident. We've had a lot of success this season and we need to keep it going through the end of the year."

This is a bitter blow.
I never knew Jeremy Hardy personally. He performed here in Mid Wales several times (if I recall correctly) but I never got to see him due to my own poverty. I had other priorities and I think he would have sympathised with my choices.
Instead, I had to make do with enjoying his many appearances on radio shows including I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue and The News Quiz, in which we were privileged to hear a man with an incisive mind cut through the propaganda of right-wing politics and neoliberalism with biting wit.
You can tell the quality of the man by the roll call of famous names that have come out to give tribute. Here are just a few, in no particular order. Some have tweeted clips of the late Mr Hardy's legendary wit. Enjoy: – and feel free to leave your own tribute in the 'comment' box below:

"I think I'm best on the radio, really. I know my place. Me and Finisterre." In 2007, ISIHAC host Jack Dee interviewed Jeremy for Chain Reaction. It's a lovely piece, and a rare look at what made him tick. https://t.co/LmboZsWPia

As a near religious listener of the News Quiz, I'm so saddened to hear of Jeremy Hardy's death. I'll miss his beautifully crafted rants, steeped in social purpose, that so often turned comedy into poetry. #ripjeremy

Very sorry to hear that Jeremy Hardy has passed away. He was a stalwart at left wing benefit gigs and will be greatly missed by friends and fans. My thoughts are with his family. https://t.co/5tP7gviBC1

Utterly devastated to hear of Jeremy Hardy's death. He was such a wonderful guy, hilarious, full of humanity and heart, committed to fighting for a world without injustice. Just a lovely bloke. Fuck cancer. RIP Jeremy Hardy ❤
— Owen Jones 🌹 (@OwenJones84) February 1, 2019
I was very lucky to work with Jeremy Hardy early in my career. Every day was a masterclass, a privilege. He was so naturally and brilliantly funny, and a man who chose to use his comedy to change the world, rather than to fill stadia. A very sad day. #RIPJeremy
— Richard Osman (@richardosman) February 1, 2019
The following message is particularly touching for those of us who were devotees of The News Quiz when it's previous – legendary – mainstay, the late Alan Coren, was making it unmissable every week:
Jeremy Hardy was so special and brilliant and mischievous, a miracle of a person. I loved him a lot. He was so kind when my father died. My dad admired him enormously. It's so sad.
— Victoria Coren Mitchell (@VictoriaCoren) February 1, 2019
Sad beyond measure that Jeremy Hardy died this morning. Unfussy, unshowy, principled, self-deprecating, hugely loved & admired by his fellow comedians, and funnier than the lot of us put together. A unique comedian & a lovely man.
— Rory Bremner (@rorybremner) February 1, 2019
Rest In Power Jeremy Hardy – sticking it to the bourgeoisie with devastating wit for as long as I can remember – a hugely effective writer and activist for the left + the anti-war and Palestinian struggles. Always there, fearlessly, at the right time. Condolences to all…
— Paul Mason (@paulmasonnews) February 1, 2019
Saddened to lose our good & loyal friend Jeremy Hardy. As well as being a brilliant comedian, whenever the call for solidarity went out, Jeremy courageously supported campaigns for social justice from the Guildford 4, the miners strike to the plight of refugees. We all loved him.
— John McDonnell MP (@johnmcdonnellMP) February 1, 2019
Jeremy Hardy was a dear, lifelong friend. He always gave his all for everyone else and the campaigns for social justice.
You made us all smile. You made us all think.
Rest in peace, Jeremy. pic.twitter.com/9ClbaPyDO0

Here's my own little tribute:

Of course it wouldn't be a proper tribute without highlighting the fact that Mr Hardy spoke truth to power.

The media are labelling Jeremy Hardy "the left-wing comedian". Yes, he was left-wing but the more significant thing is that he was a FUNNY comedian, and there aren't too many of the current crop you can say that about.

Oh, and one serious note that certain followers of This Site need to take to heart:
Lovely to see so many people speaking well of Jeremy Hardy. He was indeed a tremendous person, and an honest one. I hope you'll do him the courtesy of heeding his words… https://t.co/G4F21gujrS
— Pete Sinclair (@pete_sinclair) February 1, 2019
One thing I hope won't happen – and we see it a lot with political comedy – is that Jeremy Hardy's insight will be laid to rest with him.
People die and life moves on, yes – but the issues he discussed are still with us. Just look at some of the examples above: the Middle East is still a bloodbath, privatisation is still a blot on our services and utilities, Brexit is an ongoing farce and Jeremy Corbyn is still regularly accused of racism and terrorism by people of bad faith. Jeremy Hardy's words put the opposing ideology in its proper context and I think those words should remain available as an antidote for when people on the other side try to present their nonsense to us.
Jeremy Hardy might have passed but his words should live on – because they are funny and true and they nourish us in hard times.

Tales From Beyond the Pale Volume 4 gets a spooky teaser
How many scares does the just-released fourth volume of spooky audio drama series Tales From Beyond the Pale contain? We wish we could tell you. But the intern who was tasked with finding out fled the building midway through the second yarn in this latest collection from filmmakers Larry Fessenden (Habit, The Last Winter) and Glenn McQuaid (I Sell the Dead). Kids, today! They've just got no sand.
We can reveal that these 10 new tales were recorded live in Los Angeles, Montreal, and Colorado and boast a combined cast which includes Fessenden, McQuaid, Martin Starr (Silicon Valley), AJ Bowen (You're Next) Pat Healy (Cheap Thrills), Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, We Are Still Here), Leon Vitali (Barry Lyndon), Tony Todd (Candyman), Shudder curator Samuel Zimmerman, directors Roxanne Benjamin (XX), Izzy Lee (Innsmouth), and author Clay McLeod Chapman (comic book Self Storage). The stories are written by Fessenden, McQuaid, Chapman, April Snellings, and Douglas Buck. Also? The two Tales your writer has heard — the Crampton-starring Cold Reading and its sequel, No Signal — are utterly terrifying. Hmm, maybe that intern wasn't such a scaredy-cat after all.
The 10 Tales are being released in an illustrated hardcover book with a USB key containing the stories and will be available as digital downloads on traditional platforms. All Season 4 poster images have been illustrated by artist Trevor Denham.
"From the mayhem of taking the show on the road, to the dusting off and mastering, these tales represent five years of blood, sweat and tears," said McQuaid in a statement. "This season was made possible by our friends at the various festivals who invited us out to play with them, and by the fans of the show who came out to hear us on tour."
"This season has a great diversity of subject matter because Glenn and I were trying to respond to the specific locations we were traveling to," said Fessenden. "We've assembled these tales to celebrate the live experience, and the season becomes a chronicle of our time on the road."
You can buy Tales From Beyond the Pale Volume 4 at the series' official website.

A collection of significant and strange cases decided by the federal courts of appeals this week. Each summary delivered in a minute or less: seven cases, seven minutes. On the docket this week was lots of stuff at SCOTUS, government speech, the Second Amendment, and lawn signs.
1. Supreme Court won't intervene in litigation over Texas abortion law.
Recall S.B. 8, a Texas law that bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. Last month the U.S. Supreme Court, voting 8:1, held that the law's opponents may get their day in court. Making an Erie guess, the Court found that certain medical licensing officials, whose job it is to review abortion providers' qualifications, are not immune from suit. The Court remanded to an appellate panel (here, a Fifth Circuit panel) "for further proceedings consistent with [the Court's] opinion." This is typical of every remand from the high court. What should've occurred next is the panel again remands to the district court, allowing for speedy proceedings in line with the Supreme Court's instructions. But that didn't happen. Instead, the Fifth Circuit panel "certified"—asked the Texas supreme court to decide—the question whether the Texas medical licensing officials may be sued. Sound familiar? That's because that's the same question the U.S. Supreme Court already decided. Judge Higginson, dissenting, argued the panel's certification "exceed[s] the scope of the Supreme Court's mandate." Rightfully so. He also pointed out that the defendants forwent certification earlier in litigation when it may have been appropriate. In the face of a loss at the high court, their choice to seek it now smacks of delay and subterfuge.
It gets weirder. Plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court. They sought a writ of mandamus, which would force the Fifth Circuit to remand to the district court. But of the eight Justices who had said the case may proceed, only three voted for the plaintiffs. We don't know why; the Court didn't give an explanation. Granted, writs of mandamus are quite rare. And any writ from the high court would suggest a breakdown in communications or even a rift with a lower court. Ultimately, we must leave the task of explaining—or rather speculating about—the Court's reasons to smarter legal minds.
2. Supreme Court won't block release of Trump administration records to Congressional committee.
Last month the D.C. Circuit refused to block the release of presidential records from Donald Trump's time in office to the Congressional committee investigating the January 6th riot. Mr. Trump appealed for a stay. The Supreme Court denied it this week. Justice Kavanaugh wrote a concurrence ruminating on the circumstances under which a former president may invoke executive privilege over administration documents. Justice Thomas was the only noted dissenter.
3. Supreme Court rules for defendant in criminal procedure appeal.
The last of the Supreme Court's decisions this week will appeal to criminal procedure wonks. The Sixth Amendment gives defendants the right to confront witnesses who testify against them in court. With that in mind, consider the facts of this case (all of which are important): A woman is shot and killed. Police recover the 9-milimeter murder weapon and detain two suspects. Call them Al and Bob. Al says Bob committed the murder, but he later recants and says a new individual, Zack, is guilty. Police search Bob's apartment. They find both a 9-milimeter cartridge(!) and .357-caliber bullets. Surprisingly, they offer Bob a deal under which he pleads guilty to possession of a .357 revolver—not the 9-milimeter—and his murder charges are dropped. Unsurprisingly, Bob accepts. Years pass. Police then arrest Zack and charge him with the murder. Police admit they found the 9-mil cartridge in Bob's apartment, and Zack's innocence therefore depends on Bob's testifying on the stand. But Bob is out of the country. So, the court, over Zack's objections, allows the prosecution to discuss Bob's plea allocution, that is, Bob's statement before he was sentenced for possessing the .357 revolver, not the 9-mil. Zack is then convicted of the murder.
Has the court deprived Zack of his right to confront witnesses against him? Yes, says the Supreme Court (voting 8:1). Justice Sotomayor, writing for the majority, rejected the argument that our "Zack" waived his right by "open[ing] the door" to discussion of Bob's plea allocution. Justices Alito and Kavanaugh, concurring, explored what suffices for a defendant to waive the right to confront witnesses. Justice Thomas, the lone dissenter, argued the case should've been dismissed on procedural grounds.
Now for the non-SCOTUS decisions:
4. Ninth Circuit says California county's shutdown order violates Second Amendment.
Ventura County, CA ordered gun shops and firing ranges to shut down temporarily due to COVID-19. But it didn't require the same of other businesses, like bicycle shops and real estate services. Does the county's shutdown order violate the Second Amendment? Yes, says a Ninth Circuit panel. Judge Kleinfeld, concurring: We don't need to debate whether strict scrutiny applies. Judge VanDyke, concurring in his own majority opinion: Oh yes we do. I already know the full Ninth Circuit—most of whose opinions I disagree with—will overturn my opinion. So I'm attaching a draft decision in which I impersonate my fellow judges and write their decision for them. They should just use that; they're busy, you see. And while I'm at it, I'll mock all their principles in footnotes, which I call "thought bubbles." (NB: This blog apologizes for the snark; we learned it from Judge VanDyke. We disapprove of the tone with which Judge VanDyke writes his opinions and, on occasion, describes his own colleagues. Causticity may be acceptable on a blog, but it belongs nowhere in a judge's writings.)
5. Tenth Circuit dismisses anti-immigrant group's lawsuit over canceled conference.
VDARE Foundation, a rightwing anti-immigration group, scheduled an event at a private resort near Colorado Springs. In the wake of the Charlottesville violence the city issued a public statement, which led to this lawsuit. It read: While the city doesn't have the power to "direct [the resort] as to which events [it] may host," the city "will not provide any support or resources to this event and does not condone hate speech in any fashion." The resort canceled VDARE's event soon thereafter. VDARE: The city violated our right to speak and associate freely. Tenth Circuit panel: No, it didn't. For one, there isn't a sufficient nexus between the city's statement and the resort's canceling your event. For another, the city's speech itself isn't beyond the pale. Finally, the mayor has qualified immunity. Judge Hartz, dissenting: I agree with much of the majority's reasoning, including the qualified immunity bit. But I think there's enough of a nexus to let VDARE at least argue its claims.
6. Fourth Circuit's ruling on U.S. Sentencing Guidelines creates circuit split.
In Stinson v. United States (1993) the Supreme Court held that courts generally must adhere to the official commentary on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, even if the guideline itself is unambiguous. But in Kisor v. Wilkie (2019) the Court held that courts should defer to an agency's interpretation of its own regulations only if the regulation is "genuinely ambiguous". Does Kisor overrule Stinson? Fourth Circuit panel: Nope. We recognize, though, that we've created a circuit split with the Third and Sixth Circuits. (For more on this open question of law, here are two law review articles.)
7. Eleventh Circuit greenlights private lawsuit against police officers over lawn signs.
Police officers in Butts County, GA plant signs on the lawns of registered sex offenders before Halloween. The signs warn passersby not to "trick-or-treat[] at this address." The county sheriff later goes on the department's public Facebook account and posts about why the signs are there. Eleventh Circuit panel: . . . all of which amounts to compelled government speech. The county undoubtedly has a compelling interest in protecting minors from sexual abuse, but there are ways to do that without forcing the homeowners to give up their First Amendment right not to say something with which they disagree.

Plucky Ashvin Sivakumar, 12, challenged judges to take the national spelling championship on Saturday.
He beat 30 other competitors after a full 10 rounds, finally leaving 10-year-old Kua Le Yi from Catholic High School (Primary) in second place and 11-year-old Loi Si Xian from Raffles Girls Primary School in third.
From the outset, the Primary 6 pupil from Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) was a standout at the microphone, towering a full-head above others and typically asking for a definition and root word.
Then, in a two-person fight for the winning word, Ashvin matched spirit to stature. When judges ruled that he had misspelt "pescatarian", as "pescetarian", he stood his ground, imploring them twice to make sure they had it right.
"I'm pretty sure it can also be spelt 'c-e', can you check please?" he asked. They did so, according to contest custom, referencing official contest texts the Oxford Dictionary of English and the Cambridge Pronouncing Dictionary. They then stayed with their call.
"But my mum tested that one on me," he argued. "I'm quite sure it can be spelt with an 'e'." That prompted them to consult the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, for American derivations, before finally awarding him the word.
For the championship, he spelt his next word "pulchritudinous", as the audience in a packed Raffles City Convention Centre held their breath. As soon as The Big Spell green lollipop rose to signal he'd got it right, the 400-strong crowd exhaled audibly, erupting into applause.
The word, which means physically beautiful, could just as well describe the portrait of his win - especially so, after a three-year quest. "I am very happy and elated. I finally got it on my third time," he told The Sunday Times after coming offstage.
Ashvin has made it to the finals for three years, but was unplaced in 2012 and 2011. On his unwavering stance in lodging a challenge, he said: "It's my opportunity. I had to grasp it. I had to make the best of it."
And that, he did.

Clark men's basketball falls to Gorman's 28 free throws, 61-55
February 1, 2018
Clark's varsity basketball team took a tough loss to their longtime rivals the Gorman Gaels Tuesday at home with a score of 61-55. The game brings Clark to second in the division and third in the state, with an overall record of 18-5 to Gorman's 19-4.
The game started out slow for the Chargers, with Gorman going on a strong 17-0 run before Clark's first score. By the end of the first half, Clark rallied to bring the score to 36-28, a manageable differential going into the third period.
Clark cut the lead to three points, led by key threes by three-star prospect and Gonzaga commit Greg Foster Jr. Ultimately, the game was a series of Clark and Gorman scoring runs, but it was capped off by half a dozen Gorman free throws. Clark was called for fifteen fouls by the end of the game to Gorman's seven, allowing the Gaels twenty-three points off of free throws to Clark's eight. Clark was called for three fouls in one Gorman offensive possession alone.
Despite hitting more threes, passing for more assists, and out-rebounding the Gaels, Clark fell to a tightly-officiated game supplemented by Gorman's impressive 82.14% free throw percentage. The Gorman effort was led by player of the game, 6-8 sophomore power forward Isaiah Cotrell, who led the game with 17 points, 12 rebounds, and a whopping 5 blocks.
For the Chargers, strong performances from Greg Foster Jr. and Jalen Hill kept Clark in the game. Foster Jr. had 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists with two key threes late in the game, and Hill had 13 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists.
To say the least, fans on the Clark side were not happy about the game. "The officiating was horrendous," said junior Vidhu Ramakrishnan. "It was actually insane how many fouls they were calling on us. A bunch of those were totally clean blocks."
"Clark couldn't get any defensive stops," says senior Victor Calderon. "When they were down by three twice, if we had gotten some stops, the game would've been ours. We were on an offensive roll, but the defense couldn't keep up."
At the end of the day, Clark stuck to its guns on in a nationally ranked matchup, getting the ball to top scorers in Foster Jr. and Hill.
Gorman moved up to 38 in the national rankings, and Clark fell to 67.

Interlaken is a traditional holiday resort in the mountainous Bernese Oberland in central Switzerland. The city is located in a narrow, long valley between the emerald-green Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. The Aare, which flows through the community, is lined on both banks of old wooden houses and parks. In the surrounding mountains, with their dense forests, alpine meadows and glaciers, there are numerous hiking trails and ski slopes.On the other bank of the Aare lies the village of Unterseen, on whose market square there is a late Gothic church with a stone tower. The funicular to the summit of Harder Kulm offers panoramic views of the lakes and mountains. A cog railway takes you to the Schynigen Platte, a plateau with a botanical alpine garden. Even higher up is the Jungfrau Railway to the Jungfraujoch, where the highest station in Europe (``Top of Europe``) is located at an altitude of 3,454 m. Interlaken also provides a good starting point for boat trips on the lakes as well as exploring the traditional high mountain villages and hiking trails for which the Bernese Oberland is known.
Paraglide above the Swiss Alp peaks on a tandem flight with transport from Interlaken. At the launch spot in Beatenberg, listen to a safety talk with a small group of no more than 10 people, and then take off with a guide. Gaze down at Lake Thun and the snowy summits of the Jungfrau as you soar above the alpine landscape; the views are as breathtaking as the flight.
Explore the mountain top of Karder Kulm, looking over Interlaken, on this half-day trip. From 4,337 feet (1,322 meters) above sea level, get views of Lake Brienz, Lake Thun, Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger. Cable car ticket included.

Russia's land forces in the Kaliningrad Oblast, a region on the border with Poland, are being reinforced with long-range scouts, Izvestia reported on Wednesday. The reconnaissance company will be part of the 18th mechanized division currently being formed in the region.
Soldiers of this formation "can gather information far behind enemy lines, penetrating there with helicopters and using parachutes.
The 18th mechanized division is being established in the Kaliningrad Oblast - a region where Russia has been systematically strengthening its armed forces - from the turn of 2019 and 2020. At the end of 2020, it was announced that the new formation would appear in 2021 and become part of the 11th Army Corps of Land Forces and Coastal Protection of the Baltic Fleet.

"The European Union must change pace, it must change its decision-making procedures and rules of the game to meet the challenges posed by global transformations, starting with its institutional edifice." Lisa Ferrarini, b. 1963, managing director of the agri-food Group Ferrarini, is the Vice-President for Europe of Confindustria. She shared across-the-board reflections on the economic and political integration process, Brexit ("an irresponsible crisis in the dark"), fake news and disinformation that she defines "propaganda."
In your view, a few weeks ahead of the vote for the renewal of the EU Parliament, what stage has been reached by the European integration process?
In more than sixty years the integration process has managed to guarantee peace and prosperity and to create an enviable development model. The Union has worked fruitfully in the preservation of peace and less fruitfully in terms of prosperity and protection. Today there is much talk of the future of the integration process while feelings of dissatisfaction for the bureaucratic and self-referential features of current European Union governance sparked off public debates in all member Countries, thereby uncovering widespread malaise of people left without a job or who strive to make ends meet, of people who suffer the burden of precariousness and put the blame also on migratory inflows. This shows that the goals achieved so far are no longer sufficient. The world has changed, challenges are of a global nature and needs have evolved. In recent years, we witnessed the emergence of the idea that the European Union is not able to protect its citizens from external threats and that it exposes them internally to fewer guarantees and rights, thereby causing impoverishment and precariousness. In this political, social and economic climate, the integration project seriously risks taking retrograde steps. This is worrying for us, since as entrepreneurs we are ontologically pro-European. For us, Europe is indispensable.
"To change Europe" is the recurring leitmotiv. Which reforms does the EU need? How can citizens be brought closer to the European project?
We can no longer afford to adopt the same policies or to follow the same procedures as if nothing had happened in the public arena, especially in the past years. The European Union must change its pace, it must change its decision-making procedures and the rules of the game to meet the challenges posed by global transformations, starting from its institutional structure – that makes it too slow and often inefficient – to the rules of competitors that hinder our businesses confronted with economic giants such as China and the United States. The intergovernmental method, based on the coordination and determination of national governments, especially the most powerful ones, has increased the mistrust between Countries, distancing citizens from the EU and increasing the perception of a technocratic and poorly democratic Europe. If we want to ensure that the European Union is not perceived as a mere bureaucracy it will be necessary to promote not only economic integration but also political and social integration. EU decision-making powers should be shifted to European institutions by adopting the Community method with the support of adequate democratic legitimacy, having as prime objective the real needs of citizens.
Disinformation and fake news are risks highlighted ahead of the European elections. Could populisms grow also through these "breeding grounds"? Moreover, the economic and migratory crises have left deep scars…
The European Union is in the throes of an identity crisis. This identity crisis is closely connected with a climate of mistrust, discontent and concern that affects first of all the so-called middle class. In recent years, all that citizens saw of the "Stability and Growth Pact" was a quasi-obsessive quest for stability. As a result of the crisis and the measures taken to limit its impact, they had a clear feeling that they were being excluded from crucial decisions for their future, thus fuelling the propaganda on a Europe of bureaucrats, of banks, of a Germany that controls Europe, and so on. Fake news exist and they can simply be defined "propaganda." In recent years we allowed a narrative on a "hostile, punitive and bureaucratic" European Union to be told, neglecting the positive aspects and failing to highlight the chain of political responsibilities of decisions or inactions. The challenge we are facing today is not to counter propaganda with other forms of propaganda but to reaffirm a narrative that reflects the truth. And the truth is that notwithstanding countless mistakes, living together for over sixty years has been propitious, it brought prosperity and peace to families and businesses. The idea of questioning the integration process by opening a crisis in the dark such as the one caused by the British people is utterly irresponsible!
Brexit nonetheless remains a political signal to the EU. But it could also bring economic and trade problems. What is the view of Confindustria?
We believe that the withdrawal agreement defined with the negotiators is the best possible compromise solution providing legal certainty, thereby mitigating the consequences of Brexit, enabling our enterprises to continue to invest and trade with an important partner such as the United Kingdom in a clearly defined context. We shall wait and see what happens in the coming weeks. Indeed, for us avoiding a no-deal scenario is of the essence, along with the guarantee of a transition period with a definite timeframe to orderly prepare for a future change in paradigm. Now the solution is in the hands of the political players, whose decisions are not always taken according to the same criteria adopted by the business world. That's why a no-deal exit from the EU cannot be ruled out, and it is therefore necessary to be prepared for any eventuality, making impact assessments and taking the necessary countermeasures to cushion the impact of a possible no-deal.
What are the business sector's requests to the European Union? What are the expectations for the future?
Since the outbreak of the economic crisis Europe's business world has been concerned about preserving societal social fabric. For years Confindustria – along with its major European partners such as Germany's BDI, or the French Medef, and in the context of BusinessEurope (the European Confindustria) – has been calling upon national Governments to adopt policies that give a central role to labour, young people and enterprises, policies that create job opportunities for the young generations and that represent a satisfactory response to the climate of mistrust, unhappiness and concern that afflicts European citizens, through the development of industrial policies. We also call for reforms of the institutional architecture and procedures to make the European Union more transparent, participatory and democratic. It must be understood that the challenge is not one among European countries: it involves Europe and the outside world. Only under the banner of Europe can individual countries have a say in the definition of global rules for the future. If we don't act soon by 2050 no country in the Union, not even Germany, will be part of the G7.

Guy Pearce and Monica Bellucci are set to co-star opposite Liam Neeson in Memory, the indie crime thriller from Black Bear Pictures and Casino Royale director Martin Campbell. Harold Torres (ZeroZeroZero), Taj Atwal (Line of Duty), and Ray Fearon (Beauty and the Beast) round out the cast of the film, which is currently shooting in Bulgaria.
The pic is based on the book De Zaak Alzheimer by Jef Geeraerts as well as the Belgian film The Memory of a Killer, directed by Erik Van Looy.
Dario Scardapane penned the adaptation, which follows Alex Lewis (Neeson), an expert assassin with a reputation for discreet precision. When Alex refuses to complete a job for a dangerous criminal organization, he becomes a target and must go on the hunt for those who want him dead. Veteran FBI agents Vincent Serra (Pearce), Linda Amistead (Atwal), and Mexican intelligence liaison Hugo Marquez (Torres) are brought in to investigate the trail of bodies, leading them closer to Alex, but also drawing the ire of local tech mogul Davana Sealman (Bellucci). With the crime syndicate and FBI in hot pursuit, Alex has the skills to stay ahead, except for one thing – he is struggling with severe memory loss, affecting his every move. As details blur and enemies close in, Alex must question his every action, and who he can ultimately trust.
Black Bear Pictures is financing the project, which is being produced by Oscar-winner Cathy Schulman, through her Welle Entertainment banner, Rupert Maconick, Black Bear's Michael Heimler, and Arthur Sarkissian. Black Bear's Teddy Schwarzman and Ben Stillman serve as executive producers along with Peter Bouckaert and Rudy Durand.
STXinternational will also distribute the film in the UK, Ireland, and India, with Black Bear's sister company, Elevation Pictures Corp, releasing in Canada. CAA Media Finance, which arranged the financing for the film, is handling domestic distribution rights.
Pearce, an Emmy winner for his role in the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce, will soon be seen in Amazon's Tom Clancy's Without Remorse, starring opposite Michael B. Jordan, and horror film, The Seventh Day. He is repped by CAA, Independent Talent Group, and Shanahan Management. Bellucci, known for appearing in The Matrix Reloaded, The Matrix Revolutions, and James Bond movie, Spectre, recently starred in the drama, The Man Who Sold His Skin, which is up for the Best International Film Oscar. Her reps are CAA, AS Talents, Do MGMT, and Officine Artistiche.
Torres is repped by ICM Partners and Mosaic; Atwal by Hamilton Hodell; Fearon by Markham, Froggatt, and Irwin.

The explicit impact of ionization dynamics on the non-hydrodynamic spatiotemporal development of electron swarms in gases under the influence of an electric field is considered using a Monte Carlo simulation technique. The existence and decay of spatially periodic structures in the electron energy distribution function and electron density profiles are observed. The sensitivity of the transient and steady-state phases of the development of the electron energy distribution function to post-ionization energy partitioning is studied by comparison of three ionization energy partitioning regimes for the ionization model of Lucas and Saelee.

Column: Read to avoid 'the summer slide'
I was having a conversation with a regular library visitor, and asked her what exciting summer plans her family had once school let out in late May. It may have been because we were standing in the library, but the first thing she told me was that she and her kids were discussing which day of the week they would visit the library during the summer. As you can imagine, it warmed my heart to know that some families planned a "library day" to come the library every week during the time when school is out for the summer. There are a lot of reasons for this. The Granville Public Library has a lot of activities going on during the summer for all ages, so that is one good reason. Another good reason is that it helps kids keep doing better and better in school.
In March of 2019, Scholastic, a company that is in its 99th year of providing schools and libraries with educational books and other materials, published its seventh Kids and Family Reading Report. This biennial, national survey of reading habits, literacy trends and public awareness of literacy issues, is shared freely with those of us in the business of providing reading materials to our communities but would never be able to conduct this level of research.
One section of this report is especially of interest to public libraries. It concerns the importance of reading over the school breaks to prevent what is called the "summer slide". This slide is a loss of academic skill during the time when school is not in session. The National Center for Educational Statistics estimates that a child can lose one to three months' worth of academic learning over the summer break. This concept is not new as research on it has been going on since I was in elementary school, but the awareness of it by those who need to know it, namely parents, is finally getting better. Over 50% of parents know of the summer slide concept.
But the issue is the difference between knowing about it and doing something about it. Although parents know this issue exists, less and less children are reading books over the summer. This study calculated that the average number of books read by children over the summer sits at about nine books. That sounds great until you factor in the reality that 20% of kids, aged 6-17 didn't read even one book over the summer. That means something most librarians already know; some kids read a ton of books, while some of them never do. There is a fair amount of research showing that those who read a lot, gain skills even when out of school, while those who don't read, lose skills. These gains and losses compound over time and make a real difference by the time high school starts. That 20% who don't read does trend higher as a child gets older. Thirty two percent of teens don't read anything during the summer, compared to 14% who don't when they are younger.
Public libraries have long presented summer library reading initiatives. The main impetus to do so is that one of the reasons kids don't read during the summer is the access to reading material. For all but the few of us with enough funds to buy all our reading material, the school and public library is the primary source for reading material for children. The school library, if there still is one, is likely locked up for the summer. So, the public library has what the kids need. And here is the good news, the increase in awareness of the summer slide results in parents taking action to do something about it. This shows in the increase in the number of young kids who participate and complete the summer reading initiatives here at the Granville Public Library, over 11% since 2015.
I say all this to remind everyone that in just a short time, the Granville Public Library will be kicking off their Summer Library Program for all ages. In honor of the anniversary of the 1969 moon landing, the theme is space-related, called "One Giant Leap into Summer."
As you head home from that last day of school on May 30, kids and teens can stop and get your reading/activity booklets to dive right in to what programs, initiatives and fun prizes are happening this summer at the Granville Public Library.
Your family can decide which day of the week is your "library day" and while you are here, grab a pile of books to get reading for the summer. If you are tired of the books in your home library, you can drop a few off to get tickets to come back on June 1 to swap them for new-to-you books at our second annual book swap.
Also, we are already stocking the free libraries at Raccoon Valley, Infirmary Mound and Wildwood parks. If there isn't a great selection, check back, they get filled regularly. Everything else kicks off in earnest on Monday, June 3.
Check our web site www.granvillelibrary.org for all the information, dates and times. Ask a staff member if you have any questions or want more information. Remember, our summer library initiative is for every single age group, baby on up, so there is no excuse for anyone in your household not read this summer. Let's make this the summer that no Granville kid suffers from the summer slide!
Anita Carroll is director of the Granville Public Library. Visit the library online at www.GranvilleLibrary.org and www.facebook.com/granville

JetBlue, which already flies out of Long Beach and Burbank, announced today it will start offering service to Boston and New York from Los Angeles International Airport in June.
The company said in a statement from its New York headquarters that it will offer two daily nonstop flights each way between LAX and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and two between LAX and Boston's Logan International Airport starting June 17, although service to and from Boston will not be provided on Saturdays.
The new flights will originate at Terminal 6 at LAX and rely on 150-seat Airbus A-320 jets, the company said, adding that tickets for those flights will be sold starting Feb. 4.
"…We've long had our eye on LAX, and this summer we're thrilled to finally be making our debut there," said JetBlue Chief Commercial Officer Robin Hayes.
"Last year, when we postponed plans to serve LAX, increasing fuel costs made launching a new destination prohibitively expensive. Fuel prices have now reduced and we continue to get overwhelming requests from our customers to serve this market."
Currently, JetBlue offers flights to the east coast and other locations from Long Beach Airport and Bob Hope Airport in Burbank. It said those schedules would remain unchanged, even after the introduction of service from LAX.
The addition of LAX will bring to 55 the number of airports served by JetBlue, according to the company.
"Even in these tough economic times, JetBlue is demonstrating that the road to recovery is through Los Angeles," said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. "We are thrilled that JetBlue is offering quality airline service from one of America's premier airports."
Two carriers — American and United — now offer four daily flights from LAX to Boston's Logan International Airport. A third airline, Virgin America, plans to begin Boston service next month, with fares starting at $149 one-way.
Four airlines currently operate 26 nonstop flights a day from LAX to New York.

Lawrence Township man wanted after selling stolen gun to informant
A Lawrence Township man is being sought by Canal Fulton police for allegedly selling a stolen gun to a police informant last month.
Court records show Tyler L. Crumbley, 20, of 8732 Erie Ave. N.W., sold a stolen Colt .357-caliber Magnum April 27 in the parking lot at Canal Fulton Provision, 2014 Locust St.
The transaction was recorded by police.
Crumbley was aware the informant was a convicted felon and admitted the firearm had been stolen from a gun store before it was registered, according to court records. Crumbley refused to disclose the name of the store to police.
Warrants for Crumbley's arrest were filed Wednesday in Massillon Municipal Court.
Crumbley is wanted on felony charges of having weapons while under disability; receiving stolen property; carrying a concealed weapon; and unlawful transaction in weapons and a misdemeanor count of improper handling firearms in a motor vehicle.
The carrying concealed weapon charge alleges Crumbley brandished a Colt .45-caliber during the sale of the stolen gun. Crumbley also is prohibited from carrying a gun because of a previous felony conviction.
Crumbley also sold 50 Ecstasy pills to another police informant on a separate occasion, court records show.
