Changing Your eID Username
Your eID username is automatically generated when you are initially affiliated with VCU. It is based on your legal name. Below are the only authorized reasons for obtaining a new eID.
- Your legal name has changed (e.g., after a marriage or divorce).
- The eID was created based on an incorrectly spelled name (e.g., your last name was initially accidentally entered as Smmith instead of Smith, resulting in an incorrectly spelled eID like smmithar).
To request a new eID for a reason listed above, please follow the instructions on a Request a Name Change ticket.
Particular Circumstances for an eID Change
Particular circumstances may require that an eID is changed due to an official name change. Because the eid is used as the "pass key" to many systems at the university, any change of the eID requires that your access is changed across systems. Since the change affects an individual's multiple electronic records and key systems, an eID change requires prior review and approval from University administrative officials.
Reasons for an eID change may include but are not limited to: changing the eid to avoid cultural offense, changing the eID for legal reasons, name of use preference (select Guide for Gender and Name of Use Notification for more information).
This procedure is to be used for all faculty, staff, students, and affiliates of the university using an eID.
- The individual shall make an official request describing the reason(s) in detail for the request. This request shall be submitted electronically via email to the individual's dean, equivalent administrative position (e.g., associate vice president, vice provost, vice president, etc.). The dean or administrative officer may delegate approval to a senior administrator in his or her unit. Note: this allows the individual schools to adjust their systems as well.
- If the dean or administrative officer approves the request, they shall submit the request electronically via email with the related information to the Chief Information Security Officer, Technology Services, for his approval. Note: this is to confirm that the request does not conflict with existing eIDs.
- If the request is approved, a support ticket is created to coordinate the change with the other system units at the university and will notify the user once the account has been changed.

On vacation
I find I have too much on my plate to keep this blog up to date with interesting things. So this is my official "I'm taking a break until I can re-prioritize things." I hate doing this and I will not wear my "busyness" as a badge of honor as if my life is somehow more meaningful because I have a lot of stuff going on, but something is slipping and this is it. Until next time, take care.

Good morning! Here's what you need to know.
Germany is taking its gold back. "In 2016, we brought back again substantially more gold to Germany than initially planned; by now, nearly half of the gold reserves are in Germany," Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann told the German tabloid Bild.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened corrupt government officials with the prospect of being thrown out of a helicopter mid-air. He warned he has done it himself before and had no qualms about doing it again.

SO after the week from hell, I thought I deserved a little bit of pampering. Tim's 4th year Pharmacy Ball was Saturday, and my hair needed a lot of work before then, so I went and got a moisturizing treatment and cut at Partner's Hair Salon at Canal Walk.
As soon as my hair dresser touched my hair she asked if I wanted the treatment and I'm so glad I did. My hair is soft and silky after all the stress it's been through thanks to me (whoops).
I asked for some blended in fringe bangs like Alexa Chung and I adore them (Evan calls it my haircute)! So easy to wear whether I blow dry them out or just brush them. I just need to be a little bit more handy with my hair tools to keep up this look.
On the day of the ball, I definitely needed to use the hairdryer to show off my new fringe, and I pulled it up for the start with a tiny braid on the side (Linda called me a little Swedish Princess when I came out)! I loooooved my hair on Saturday, and of course it felt amazing.
The theme was Coco Chanel but they decided that after I had already picked my dress and flown 7,000 miles 3 months ago so I stuck with what I brought and I'm very glad – I adore this dress. I wore it for graduation, my grandma's 100 birthday party and to a summer wedding – so versatile.
I hope you all had a lovely weekend/week and have another wonderful one coming up. Linda and I are going to play tourist on Sunday in Cape Town and take the big red bus tour since neither of us have done it before. I can't wait!

White Denim + Deathcrush at The Glee Club, Birmingham, UK – 26th May 2014Posted by Daron Billings on Monday May 26, 2014 Under Experimental, Garage Rock, Indie, Psychedelic, Rock
Gig Review by Daron Billings with Photography by John Bentley
With no less than half a dozen rocktastic albums under their belts and an enviable live reputation you'd think Austin four piece White Denim should be investing in a nice range of giant inflatable animals and playing stadiums the size of small African countries by now. But here they are in the relatively modest Glee Club which, although sold out and rammed to the rafters, is probably around the size of the average stadium dressing room. Still, it doesn't seem to bother them, nor opening band Deathcrush a raucous no wave trio from Oslo fronted by two ladies in cut off denim shorts (blue denim sadly, not white…they missed a trick there) and a dude on drums. Kicking off their set with the catchily titled Lesson #16 for Beatmaster V / Fun (at least that's what it seems to be called) they added a little punk, rap and screamcore to the no wave mix creating the kind of track that manages to be both sludgily head nodding and spikily head banging at the same time. Neat neat neat. By the next track lead singer Linn Nystadnes was out in the crowd screaming "put your hands on my shoulders" at people. No one did sadly, although you half expect she might have ripped 'em off and beaten the offender to death with 'em if they had but still, bonus points for leaving the relative safety of the stage this early on in the set. Older listeners may detect a Slits meets Nirvana vibe in amongst the edgier more experimental no wave sound and that's a pretty decent combination in my book. In the wrong hands this might come across a little contrived but Deathcrush pull it off remarkably well with none other than the genial great uncle of punk, Goldblade's John Robb calling their sound "a stunning and effective dissemination of the New York sassy cool trash aesthetic into a new century and with their own vital slant". Er…quite…I really couldn't have put it better myself.
White Denim may not be 'sassy' and I'm not convinced they bring a 'cool trash aesthetic' either but one thing they do do (not dodo, that's just a big extinct bird…) is…pause for dramatic effect…ROCK. Hell yeah! Ahem. In fact within just a couple of seconds of opening track Pretty Green they'd managed to blow a transformer. Now that's ROCK. Like much of White Denim's output there's a classic 70s feel to it and, like many of tonight's best bits (which was practically the whole TWO hour show…yep, TWO hours my friends, now that's value), it drifts off into a bit of a head melting jam that makes me wish I had looooooooooooong hair to shake. Happily some of the crowd did, losing several million braincells in the process no doubt, but once the Denim get in the groove resistance is frankly futile. Speaking of groove next track Corsicana Lemonade is such a prime slice of southern fried funk rock that even the clinically dead would end up shaking their hips a little. Topping off a trio of Denim classics (FYI both of the first tracks were culled from 2013's highly recommended Corsicana Lemonade) they travelled back to 2011's album D for a fabulously funked up version of River To Consider. It's got a kind of Steely Dan feel to it and at times this evening it doesn't take an overly fertile imagination to see White Denim as their natural heirs, especially given the band's musical prowess (Steely Dan were sticklers for musical perfection too).
With the aid of a sizeable collection of effects pedals (nice footwork there dude…Fred Astaire would be proud of you) lead singer James Petralli managed to tease some impressive sounds out of his guitar whilst drummer Joshua Block provided the meaty beats. As much as the two of them rock out the other 50% of the band, Terebecki on bass and Jenkins on guitar, are relative pictures of calm, keeping the whole thing grooving along the highway…albeit with the odd off road detour for some more funky/psychy jams. Highlights? Too many to note but Anvil Everything added a little Who style Pinball Wizard-ish riff to proceedings, I'd Have It Just The Way We Were invited Mssrs Jazz and Funk to the party and Shake Shake Shake summoned up the spirit of Jimi Hendrix jamming with Iggy and The Stooges.
By the time we got to the glam boogie of At Night In Dreams I…and many others…was a sweaty mess (serves me right for attempting to pogo in a waistcoat and tie I guess). It's a glorious track, catchy enough to bounce up and down to but with enough intricate riffs to please the beard strokers too, not an easy (Little) Feat to pull off. That's one of the really impressive things about the Denim, a seemingly effortless ability to embrace several different genres, often all at the same time, without it sounding like mushy mess. "This is the only band we go to see" yelled one particularly enthusiastic fan down my ear towards the end of the set. In fact she'd travelled all the way up from that there London town to see them (she's off to their London gig at the somewhat larger Shepherd's Bush Empire this Wednesday too). Can't say I blame her. In the absence of a time machine White Denim represents the best chance any of us will get to experiencing what many would consider to be rock's golden age, whilst still adding their own unique spin on things. "I want to give you a trip to remember" sang James on encore Tony Fatti. I'd say job done there my friend. White Denim…jean geniuses.

(HRW)- Human Rights Watch welcomes the Independent Expert's new report. As noted, much needs to be done to ensure that Somalia's state-building efforts improve civilian protection, respect basic rights, and tackle impunity.
Civilians continue to face a dire humanitarian and rights situation. Al-Shabab militants target civilians across the country, while Somali government forces and allied militia indiscriminately kill and on occasion unlawfully target civilians during military operations against Al-Shabab and clans fighting over resources and political power.
Recruitment and use of children as fighters, particularly by Al-Shabab, continues. Despite commitments by the federal government to rehabilitate children formerly associated with Al-Shabab, many are held for prolonged periods of time without access to relatives, lawyers, and on occasion sentenced to harsh prison terms by military courts.
Drought, clan conflict, the fighting with Al-Shabab and clan militia, and forced evictions, have resulted in hundreds of thousands displaced since late 2016, primarily into government-controlled urban centers. Many live in unsafe settlements where they face serious abuses, such as sexual violence, including by government soldiers and militia.
Federal and regional governments have adopted measures to improve accountability for sexual violence, but significant efforts and reforms are still needed to ensure fair and safe prosecutions.
We urge the independent expert to use his mandate to promote fair prosecutions of sexual violence and to ensure that children formerly associated with Al-Shabab are promptly supported and that detention be a measure of last resort.
Somalia's National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA) and its military courts, which have a broad mandate over alleged terrorism-related crimes, have repeatedly flouted due process rights, including in death penalty cases, with no accountability.
The government and its international partners need to prioritize efforts to address impunity through the establishment of effective civilian oversight mechanisms, vetting and fair prosecutions.
Journalists continue to be killed and face harassment and threats by all sides. Regular public reporting by UNSOM and the Independent Expert on the human rights situation and abuses by all parties to the conflict is therefore critical.
Human Rights Watch encourages the OHCHR to undertake an exercise to map and document serious international crimes committed by all sides in Somalia throughout the conflict and recommend measures to improve accountability.

Like any other art, architecture has its own language – architectural shapes that are closely associated with the world view. In the early C19th, art historians emphasised symbolism of the medieval architecture. Indeed, symbolic thinking was widespread in the Middle Ages. Look at the Church of the Ascension – there is a message in its every detail and architectural element. For instance, the church layout is based on an elabourate 12-pointed cross. It is associated with the Revelation's description of the twelve gates facing the four cardinal points in the Heavenly Jerusalem. The tent-shaped roof was associated with the description of the Heavenly City – 'the tabernacle of God is with men'. The word 'tabernacle' means 'a tent'.
Not infrequently, steep staircases were installed in old Russian temples. For example, Saint Basil's Cathedral in Red Square has a narrow winding staircase with very high stairs. It takes a lot of physical effort to climb to the top. And this climb is symbolic too, demonstrating the work to liberate the soul from earthly sins.
Kolomenskoye is a nice park and a former royal estate situated several kilometers to the southeast of the city center of Moscow, on the ancient road leading to the ancient picturesque town of Kolomna (hence the name).
The area overlooks the steep banks of the Moskva River. This fact will allow you to do a lot of great panoramic photos. This is also a place where seasonal folk festivals take place: honey and handicrafts trade-fairs, religious festivities and processions. If you fond of painting, this is the right place for drawing nature, city landscapes and churches.
The area is rich with cafes and restaurants offering traditional Russian cuisine in wooden houses. Try Russian pan-cakes with different filling, small and big pies, and honey cakes.
Kolomenskoye village was first mentioned in the testament of Ivan Kalita in 1339. As time went by, the village was developed as a favourite country estate of grand princes of Muscovy. The earliest existing structure is the exceptional Ascension church (1532), built in white stone to commemorate the long-awaited birth of an heir to the throne, the future Ivan the Terrible. Being the first stone church of tent-like variety, the uncanonical "White Column" (as it is sometimes referred to) marked a stunning break from the Byzantine tradition.
Recognizing its outstanding value for humanity, UNESCO decided to inscribe the church on the World Heritage List. The estate was one of the favourite places for Ivan the Terrible. He used to celebrate here his name-day in August. In XVI-XVII centuries there develops a unique architectural ensemble, subordinated to the idea of ceremonial royal residence, which is of great artistic and historical value. The heyday of Kolomenskoye is associated with the reign of Alexey Mikhailovich - Kolomenskoye was his favorite residence also. In 1667-1668 a magnificent wooden palace (the Eighth Wonder of the World) which had 250 rooms, was erected. The complex of the royal buildings was surrounded by the wall with three gates: Front, Back and Garden.
The future Empress Elizabeth Petrovna was born in the palace in 1709, and Tsar Peter the Great spent part of his youth here. Upon the departure of the court for St. Petersburg, the palace fell into disrepair, so that Catherine II refused to make it her Moscow residence. On her orders the wooden palace was demolished in 1768, and replaced with a much more modest stone-and-brick structure.
Fortunately, detailed plans of the 17th century palace survived and Moscow Government has completed a full-scale reconstruction in 2010.

Lucknow: After four consecutive losses on their home ground, the Uttar Pradesh Wizards finally broke the jinx, as they celebrated their solitary win on home turf defeating Jaypee Punjab Warriors 4-1 on Wednesday.
Incidentally this was also the last home game for the Wizards, who were playing their eighth match of the 4th Coal India Hockey India League today at the Major Dhyanchand Hockey Stadium, Lucknow. With this win Uttar Pradesh Wizards now jump to the third place of the 4th Coal India Hockey India League points table with 23 points to their kitty, keeping their hopes alive for a place in the semi-finals to be played in Ranchi on 20th February 2016.
The first quarter began with Jaypee Punjab Warriors pressing hard to take an upper hand in the match, but the hosts were well prepared to handle the pressure, not allowing the visitors any chances to score. Uttar Pradesh Wizards who have so far lost all their home games were playing carefully, but the visitors kept pressing hard and their efforts were finally rewarded through a penalty corner in the 10th minute.
Mark Gleghorne from the Jaypee Punjab Warriors made no mistakes in converting the penalty corner giving the visitors an early lead of 1-0 in the match. The rest of the quarter saw Uttar Pradesh Wizards trying to equalise but Jaypee Punjab Warriors held on to their lead successfully. The second quarter saw Uttar Pradesh Wizards entering the field charged up and making a few good moves. Their efforts finally saw results as Argentine Gonazlo Peillat scored the equaliser through a penalty corner in the 19th minute. The second quarter thereafter was majorly played on the midfield, and came to an end with one goal to both the sides.
The second half began with Uttar Pradesh Wizard entering the field charged up and that was visible through their attacking play. The hosts made some good moves and moved into the opponents circle and were awarded with another penalty corner within two minutes of play in the third quarter. Gonazlo Peillat made no mistakes in converting the penalty corner giving the hosts a much needed lead of 2-1 in the game. Uttar Pradesh Wizards seemed hungry for more and kept on pressing hard breaking through Jaypee Punjab Warriors defence line very often. After a series of unsuccessful attempts to score Uttar Pradesh Wizards finally scored again in the 43rd minute through a field goal from Agustin Mazilli, taking a comfortable lead of 4-1 in the game.
The final quarter of the match began with the energised Uttar Pradesh Wizards attacking to score. Most of the game now was taking place around the Jaypee Punjab Warriors circle but some missed traps and some good saves from Clemons Tristan ensured the hosts did not add on to their lead. The Warriors who looked tired, tried hard to score but could not find success in their endeavour. The match came to an end with Uttar Pradesh Wizards defeating Jaypee Punjab Warriors 4-1 in the 23rd match of the 4th Coal India Hockey India League.
The Coal India Goal of the Match award of INR 50,000 was presented by Shantilata Sahu, Director Personnel, NCL to Agustin Mazilli from Uttar Pradesh Wizards while team mate and Captain VR Raghunath walked away with the Most Entertaining Player of the Match award. Tobias Hauke from Uttar Pradesh Wizards won the Man of the Match award of INR 50,000 while his team mate Akashdeep Singh won the Hero Emerging Player of the Match award of INR 25,000.
The next match of the 4th edition of the Coal India Hockey India League will be played between Delhi Waveriders and league toppers Ranchi Rays at the Shivaji Stadium in New Delhi on the 11th February 2016.
The six team annual franchise based hockey league, the flagship event of Hockey India - the apex body governing the sport in the country and sanctioned by the International Hockey Federation (FIH) is being played across six venues in India from 18th January - 21st February 2016

What Does UDL Look Like?
I really struggle when someone asks me, "What does UDL look like?" It is not because I don't know the answer, in theory. It's because I don't know what it looks like for YOU. As the brilliant Dr. Liz Berquist explains in UDL: Moving from Exploration to Integration, "Because the implementation of UDL is variable and unique-in this sense it is a model of UDL itself. UDL looks different in every learning environment, just as it looks different in every school, district, and state. Although there are patterns to be found in this variability, there is no right way to implement the UDL framework."
So, maybe the better question to ask is, "What are the patterns of UDL?"
To put it simply, when teachers implement UDL, students have choices. And those choices allow all students to access rigorous, standards-based curriculum. What kind of choices? There are four interrelated components of a UDL curriculum and when implemented well, students have choice in all four areas. First, let's unpack those four areas.
Four Components of a UDL Curriculum
As CAST notes, "within the UDL framework, goals themselves are articulated in a way that acknowledges learner variability and differentiates goals from means." Oftentimes, teachers create goals that include embedded methods. For example, "All students will learn how to write arguments by giving a persuasive speech about which new club belongs in our school." When teachers can step back and see the goal, "Write arguments," they could provide numerous choices for students to achieve that goal that doesn't require all students to stand up in class and read a speech about a club. Ask yourself this: Is the standard actually requiring that students all do the exact same thing in the same way? (The answer is always no!)
The instructional decisions, approaches, procedures, or routines that expert teachers use to accelerate or enhance learning. Oftentimes, however, all students are expected to follow the same procedures in how they learn or express their knowledge (read a short blog on UDL and the Death of Lecturing).
Materials are usually seen as the media used to present learning content and what the learner uses to demonstrate knowledge, but oftentimes, the same materials are provided to all students. I call this "packet syndrome." CAST calls it, "one-size-fits-all," teaching and learning.
Assessments are an expression of student learning. When designing assessments, it's critical that teachers consider exactly what students need to know and do and then strip away any specific methods that have been tied to the goal. Essentially, when reviewing your standards, you will ask yourself, "How will students provide evidence that they met the goal? Can they have choices?"
Now that you have a better sense of the types of choices you're looking for, you may still be wondering how each of the principles of UDL translates into choices for students. The following may be helpful.
Visions of UDL in Each Principle
Content and skills are presented in multiple ways and students have a choice about which methods and materials to use to reach the goal.
What does this look like?
- Learning objective or standard is posted and visible to students so they know what the ultimate goal is. All students could tell an observer the goal of the lesson.
- More than one presentation method is apparent and students are accessing different experiences: lecture, reading text, audio, video, reciprocal teaching. If there is one predominant presentation method, there are additional representations embedded (i.e, teacher reads directions while projecting them with document camera, or students watch a video with closed captioning.)
- Teacher pre-teaches vocabulary and activates prior knowledge. May use Frayer models, vocabulary tables, images etc…
- Teacher provides opportunities or stations where students can learn information on their own (i.e, read a text, view a video, listen to audio, work in collaborative group, etc…)
- Allows students to access technology (IPads, Nooks, etc…) so they can customize the display of information.
Action and Expression
Students are provided with choices and/or scaffolding when expressing their knowledge in formative and summative assessments.
What does this look like?
- Not all students are completing the same assessments in the same way (but it's because they made the decision – not just the teacher). For example, if all students are asked to solve an equation, students may have the choice of using math reference sheets, manipulatives, calculators, scratch paper, in small groups, with a partner, etc….If students are working toward a written task, they may have the choice of writing on paper, using a device, accessing a graphic organizer, exemplar, rubric, etc…
- Teacher may offer engaging choices for assessments, so students can express their knowledge or skills in many different ways: simulations, mock interviews, poetry slams, blogs, debates, essays, multi-media presentations, etc…
- Teacher uses think-pair-share, private think time, partner tasks, exit tickets or other dipsticking method so all students are assessed daily.
- When teaching specific methods, such as solving an algebraic equation or writing an essay, teacher provides the following: Work exemplars, rubrics, frequent mastery-oriented feedback, and all necessary resources and materials necessary to complete assignment (i.e, textbooks, pencils, paper.) but not all students have to use the same methods or materials. It's up to them to self-reflect and create strategies that will allow them to meet the goal.
Students are engaged in authentic, relevant learning opportunities.
What does this look like?
- There is a clear culture that values creativity, risk-taking, growth mindset and the fact that there are many ways to arrive at the same destination but that journey is different from everyone.
- Students have an opportunity to personalize their goal. For example, if students are writing arguments, they are all writing about topics of interest to them, exploring the resources that work for them, and express what they know with an authentic product.
- Rich, mastery-oriented feedback is provided from teachers and peers consistently – including feedback from students to teachers so they can become an integral part of the design and delivery of their own instruction.
- There are many opportunities for students to self-assess their progress, make changes if necessary, and get feedback on how to continue to work toward their goals so they can make better decisions about methods and materials in the future.
- Teacher is monitoring the classroom to keep students on task, helping them stay organized and prevent frustration, but students also collaborate to push each other to continue to apply effort and persistence.
UDL in Action
- Crystal Morey, on the Teaching Channel, uses "Menus" to provide students with personalized opportunities to build their math understanding (MS math)
- Sean McComb, a national teacher of the year, uses the workshop model to implement UDL and foster personalized learning (HS ELA)
In UDL-topia, students have choices in all four interrelated components, and these choices are both engaging and accessible. But early UDL implementation may be only focused on providing choices in one or more areas, so when you're looking for the UDL principles in action, you may see glimpses in a class that is not yet universally designed for all learners to be able to personalize their learning experience in meaningful ways. So, how do you move from point A to point B? As with all things UDL, you need to personalize that process for you and your students, and that starts with asking them for their feedback.
In UDL, student voice is optimized. Strong UDL practice starts with collaborating with students to ask students what they need to be successful. David Rose once said, "Teaching, at its core, is emotional work." I truly believe that students know what they need to be successful and that everything that they need to follow their passion and achieve their dreams is inside of them. We as educators have a tremendous opportunity to learn more about our teaching from our students if we are open and ask the right questions and listen to their answers.
So, here is my official answer: If all students are working toward the same rigorous standards but making choices that allow them to honor their strengths, challenge themselves and follow their passions, then that's what UDL looks like.

Asbestos exposure not only causes mesothelioma cancer, but several other cancerous and non-cancerous conditions. While the only known cause of mesothelioma is exposure to asbestos, workers with a history of asbestos exposure may not realize that their colon cancer or lung cancer is not simply the result of bad luck. GPW's asbestos disease attorneys have represented many people who suffer from asbestos-related diseases beyond mesothelioma.
When airborne, lightweight asbestos fibres are easily inhaled by workers at construction sites and in industrial settings. The small, thin fibres are hard to filter out without high-quality (and expensive) filtering gear. Breathing protection on job sites for many years was lacking at best, and often non-existent. Many workers were heavily exposed to friable (easily crumbled or reduced to powder) asbestos for years and even decades. Heavy exposure to asbestos increases the risk of developing lung cancer five times.
Smokers with asbestos exposure have more than a 50 fold increase in their chance of getting lung cancer compared to people who have not smoked and been exposed to asbestos. A history of smoking does not preclude you from an asbestos-related lung cancer lawsuit. Our asbestos attorneys have tried cases for many former smokers diagnosed with lung cancer. Although smoking alone can cause lung cancer, asbestos has long been determined as a substantial contributing factor. Smoking cessation is therefore all the more important for those exposed to asbestos.
Learn more about asbestos lung cancer.
We have compiled a list of cancer treatment centers where victims of mesothelioma and other cancers can turn for treatment and medical attention.
If you would like to contact us for more information, or to seek the assistance of an asbestos personal injury lawyer, please call (800) 471-3980 or contact a mesothelioma lawyer online here.
Asbestosis is the scarring of the lung tissue that results when asbestos fibers become lodged in the lung. This disease causes shortness of breath by limiting the lung's ability to expand and contract. There is no treatment available for those suffering from this chronic disease. Since it takes at least 20 – 30 years from the initial exposure for asbestosis to develop, people with exposures to asbestos in the 1950's, 60's, and 70's are now being diagnosed.
This relatively rare cancer of the structure containing the vocal chords strikes just under 10,000 people each year. During a review of 50 epidemiological studies, the National Institutes of health found "compelling evidence that asbestos exposure is associated with an increased incidence of laryngeal cancer and that the risk increases with the intensity and duration of exposure." Asbestos exposure may increase the risk of developing cancer in the voice box by more than two and a half times. Like asbestos-related lung cancer, smoking may compound the effect of the asbestos fibers in the lining of the larynx.
Exposure to asbestos has the potential to lead to the development of other cancers, including esophageal cancer, colon cancer, and other cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. If you believe your cancer may be related to asbestos exposure, our asbestos lawyers may be able to help you recover damages as a result of your asbestos exposure-related disease; please contact us here.
After years of exposure without protection or warning, it is ironic that there is a sharply limited time to bring suit against those that injured you. Statutes of limitations (sometimes called statutes of repose) vary from state to state and put limitations from the time of diagnosis–or a similar event–to the time to file a lawsuit. In many states, there are only two years from the date of diagnosis in which you can file an asbestos lawsuit.
These time limitations mean researching and understanding your options early is instrumental in making sure your rights are not frustrated by an expiration date. GPW's asbestos attorneys have years of experience they can share with you regarding filing an asbestos lawsuit. Settlements in asbestos cases, legal processes, and understanding how long your legal battle might last are just a few of the questions our clients often have. Many general questions are answered in our Ask an Asbestos Attorney section; please contact us for answers to your specific questions or to discuss, with no obligation, your case.

Every child, every chance, every day
Writing is the longest distance a thought has to travel.
At Old Oak we recognise that equal importance needs to be placed on the study of speaking and listening, reading and writing.
Effective speaking and listening skills are essential for all children to express themselves creatively and to communicate with others. At Old Oak all children are confident and imaginative in their play and language skills. They are encouraged to discuss their ideas and work with adults and peers alike. We believe that drama, roleplay and discussion are an integral part of English learning.
At Old Oak we are dedicated to the practice of reading for pleasure. Through the development of a love for reading and of texts we are able to encourage all pupils to read with purpose and skill. Writing is essential across all areas of the curriculum and we encourage cross curricular writing at every opportunity. At Old Oak we are dedicated to ensuring that all our children are able to write with skill and enthusiasm.
To support children with their early reading skills we teach them the sounds of English, the 'phonics', using the Jolly Phonics programme. You can learn more about Jolly Phonics at
The Power of Reading:
Children develop their English language skills by incorporating the successful 'Power of Reading' and 'Power of Writing' programmes developed by the Centre for Literacy in the Primary Education (CLPE). We have used these programmes as the framework for our own curriculum which motivates and excites both staff and children alike. Teachers use quality texts as a basis for the literacy teaching, and have a range of exciting strategies and techniques to bring the texts to life and develop children's creativity. We have also introduced a writing book in which the children collect all their extended pieces of writing and teachers mark to support a dialogue between themselves and the child on how best to improve. This is coupled with a specially devised programme for spelling and punctuation.
Alongside this, the staff continue their guided reading regularly throughout the week.

Interviews by Jason Weigandt and Steve Matthes
Ryan Villopoto, Monster Energy Kawasaki, 2nd in 450SX
Racer X: Last week you said you were going to be happy with what you get, and try to have more fun with it. So, are you happy?
Second is good. Made two points on Davi [Millsaps]. He's kind of the guy that we need to concentrate on now. Stew is not really that guy. But man it would have been nice to win and get five points on Davi. It seems like every track we've been to, at this point, the track sets the limit on how hard you can ride. I was doing the rhythm section a little bit different than James and it was slower. I struggled in the turn after the rhythm section all day. I just felt doing that the way I was doing it was going to be consistent for 20 laps. It wasn't the dragon's back, it was that next turn after tripling in there. I just struggled in that turn all day, so.
Was there a point where you tried to turn it up, and then got sketchy?
I rode consistent through the whole time. I think on paper that was four tenths lower doing it that way [the dragon's back rhythm]. I was decent, pretty good or the best on that other part of the track, or a little bit quicker on the rest of the part of the track. So I would just give it up there and catch back up, give it up there… and just play cat and mouse type of deal. You know, when you gives James a lead like that you've got to pressure him into a mistake, especially on a track like this.
A lot of the guys I talked to tonight, they said you can only go so fast on this track. How do you make up time?
It's been rough this year. It's been tough, figuring out how to do that. The track was tight. Even if it would have been unbelievably tacky it was a tight track. The track itself just had a limit on it. We were at that limit but it wasn't the riders' limits, it was the track's limit. – Steve Matthes

Davi Millsaps, Rockstar Energy Racing, 3rd in 450SX
Racer X: How was it?
It was a long 20 laps, but it was a good twenty laps. I didn't get the best start, but I made my way through the pack and salvaged third place. So I'm pretty excited about that.
It looked like you actually closed in on Stewart and Villopoto at one point.
Yeah, they had a pretty good gap on me before I got into third, so it was kind of hard to catch up to them. But they were riding great. I'm pumped for James to get a win, especially the way his season has gone so far. I haven't really had much riding lately just to being sick, and bad weather and stuff. So I'm just trying to do what I can and take each race at a time.
And more rain in the forecast at your house this week?
Oh yeah.
What was this track like?
Really slick and awkward and all over the place. Very one-lined. If you don't get a good start, it's kind of hard.
Has it changed quite a bit since you first started racing here?
There were years where we had a lot of passing lines here. I think 2008, when I won, that had the tackiest dirt we've had here, and I really don't know why. I don't think it's the dirt, though, I think it's the track. They way they cross over the start, and the way they build 90 degree turns, it makes it really hard. – Jason Weigandt

Eli Tomac, GEICO Honda, 7th in 450SX
Racer X: You looked good in practice, but the starts, they have followed you from the 250s.
I had a good jump in the heat race. I had all the guys to my right beat but [Jake] Weimer got me on the inside. So I had to let off and then some guys went around me on the outside. And then I guess [in the] main, I was like 12th pick so I was outside the box. The gates were junk tonight. I got wheel spin really bad and then I just kind of had to fall in the middle of the pack. It was easy to spin and I spun a lot. I thought I had my weight back enough but it still spun.
What did you think of the class?
It's actually really surprising how much 200ccs is. I rode a little tight all day but just the way the thing's different for timing and leaning in your corners and the way the thing yanks on you out of the corners… I'm kind of smoked right now. I haven't been like that all year. I'll probably get better every race, it's just going to take a little bit of time. – Steve Matthes

Justin Brayton, JGR Toyota Yamaha, 13th in 450SX
Racer X: Looked like it was going to be great, good start, battling near third place, and then you went down.
Yeah, I had a little help from the number 51 on a red bike. A lot of help from him [in the crash]. But it's all good. Bummer. I had to get a good start. Obviously you had to tonight.
Once you get up after that crash, is it a different mentality.
Yeah, it's not great. There's eight guys that are really fast so you're probably not going to get top eight and it's not fun to get 10th. So you just basically salvage whatever you can. It's a bummer of a night, but looking ahead to St. Louis. Kind of a home race. I'm sick of getting these results.
Let's focus on the positives. It looks like you've been riding well.
I think so, for sure. What's a bummer is, last week was fifth. But fifth still isn't great, it's okay. With so many good guys… it's really fun to be a part of it because there are so many good guys, but then again it's like you could have an awesome night, any of us could have an awesome night and still get fifth. – Steve Matthes
"Yeah, I had a little help from the number 51 on a red bike. A lot of help from him [in the crash]. But it's all good." - Justin Brayton

Andrew Short, BTO Sports KTM, 14th in 450SX
Racer X: KTM debut, great heat race. Washed out the front in the main event like we've seen so many other guys do, but how was it?
It was good considering what we were up against. It was great to get a ride under the BTO Sports KTM and met everybody and interact with the whole group. So considering first race and all that it went pretty good.
My start was killer. The KTM gets out of the gate really good. I think that's key because the field is so deep right now in talent. Put yourself in a good position, you get sucked in and you separate yourself. I felt like I was having a great ride going until I lost the front and crashed, but new bike, new tires, new everything. So I think we have a great thing going and the next few weeks we'll be a lot more competitive. – Steve Matthes
"It was good considering what we were up against." - Andrew Short
Simon Cudby photo
Zach Bell, GEICO Honda, 10th in 250SX
Last weekend I dislocated my wrist and did some damage to it. This week I didn't ride any, just kind of stayed off the bike and came into this race healthy. I just wanted to go out there and race and have fun, stay on two wheels, and make it through the night. Next week, I want to do the same thing. I just want to make it through the season and have fun. I'm not the fastest guy out there right now so I'm not trying to push over the limits. I'm just riding in my comfort zone. I just happened to make a few mistakes and it's just turned out to be the worst crashes it could possibly be. But we're working on that. We're working on the hiccups and we're just driving forward to next year and this year. – Jason Weigandt

Jeremy Martin, MyPlash/Metal Mulisha/Yamaha/Star Racing, 5th in 250SXIt went good, better than last week! I qualified out of my heat race! I got third there and went into the main with a positive attitude and got a pretty good jump, sneaked around the inside and came out, I think around seventh or eighth. I made a few quick passes, I got around Gavin Faith, then I got behind Justin Hill and we battled, for like, four or five laps. Then I was able to get by him, and I had a little bit of a free track and I started catching Blake Wharton for fourth. We had a really good battle going for a little while, but I fell into his pace for a little bit instead of racing the track. So I've got a few things to work on, but other than that it's a big improvement from last week, where I didn't even qualify. It's nice to see that during the week everything I did paid off. We're going to work on a few things here and we're going to go into St. Louis and hopefully see improvements again.
Obviously you had some things go against you with bad starts last week, but how shocking was it for you to qualify third fastest last week and not make the main in Dallas?
To qualify third fastest and not make the main was embarrassing. It was a letdown for the team; they work really hard. I work really hard too. I've been training at the Carmichael farm, I believe in my program, and I believe I'm doing things right. It was just very disappointing to not qualify, and I was very disappointed. But I had to let it go. I had to let it go and move on. I learned from my mistakes, and as you can see this weekend, I progressed and got a solid top five.
"To qualify third fastest [in Dallas] and not make the main was embarrassing. It was a letdown for the team; they work really hard." - Jeremy Martin
Simon Cudby photo
How does it feel to bounce bike like this?
It feels good, fifth is good, but I want to do better than that. I want to be up front battling for a win, that's just kind of my mentality. Nothing is more fun than winning, and that's what the team and I both work for. I want to be up there in the hunt mixing it up and banging bars with Dean Wilson, Marvin Musquin and Wil Hahn. Hopefully we'll get to that point in the next few weekends and have some fun.
What'd you think of the track?
I thought the track was good. It was a lot more technical this weekend than last. The whoops were really big in practice, but they got beat down. I thought it was a really good racing track, and it was easier to make passes on, and hopefully St. Louis is going to be good.
What was the trickiest part of the track?
I'd say the trickiest part was after you did the sand section, you came over a big single, charged toward the starting gate, then made a 180 degree left where you had to triple into a rhythm section. It was hard, but when the corner was brand new, it was easy to triple. Once it started getting rutted up, the ruts would lead all the way up to the jump face. It was really technical because you had to carry good speed and commit to it. That made it pretty difficult. - Aaron Hansel

Quilt Pattern Releases
Hello Friends,
I have exciting news. For the next 12 weeks, MIB will be publishing a new quilting pattern each week. All of these quilt patterns use the strip piecing method to allow for a quicker and simpler construction process.
The strip piecing is a method where strips of fabric are cut and then pieced together to make strip units. These strip units are then subcut into smaller units. For example, a quilter could cut a bunch of 2" squares and then piece those squares together to make a block. Instead of piecing tiny piecing together one at a one, the strip piecing method makes piecing easier.
Follow me on instagram to keep up-to-date on the latest patterns.
Make your quilt making blossom.

Healthy & delicious!
By Amanda Birge | Guest Writer for The Snap Mom
Your entire family will enjoy these muffins – picky toddlers and skeptical husbands alike! Whether for breakfast or an after-dinner snack, you're able to enjoy these while knowing you're getting in a serving of spinach! I have a 1-year-old son, and I'm always looking for new ways to "sneak" in the greens. He LOVED the muffins! My husband, who hates spinach, ate them for "dessert."
Makes 15 muffins
- 1-10 oz bag of frozen spinach or 2 cups fresh spinach, pureed
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of oil (coconut, melted butter, or vegetable)
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce
- 2 cups of flour
- 1/3 – 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
· Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and grease muffin tins (I use coconut oil here too).
· Puree spinach if not already done (steam/boil first, add to blender/food processer)
· Mix wet ingredients to puree: eggs, oil, applesauce
· In a separate bowl, mix dry: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
· Add the wet to the dry, and combine thoroughly
· Fill muffin tins 2/3 full
· Bake for 20 minutes (or until toothpick comes out clean)
These are our new healthy anytime "go to." Eat your veggies!

Serena, a white collar worker in a company specializing in jade, had made a difference in her life with a state-of-the-art means of commuting completely applied in almost every aspect of her life. For those three months, she had already had a very wonderful time with her great partner-an Airwheel self-balancing scooter. Her feelings toward it and her inner voices about it will be explicitly illustrated in the succeeding paragraphs.
Three months ago, Serena's life was quite a mess. While she got no car of her own and cannot afford to take a taxi every day, her usual way of going to work was taking buses or taking a subway. While the former took much more time to get to the destination, she preferred to go to work by subway. Unfortunately, it was still time-consuming. About 50 minutes in the subway and another 50 minutes walking on the way home or to the office, for there was still a long distance between the entrance of the subway and her home and another between the entrance and the office. Consequently, she couldn't sleep well and was often reproached by her boss for being late.
Things started to change since she bought herself an Airwheel electric scooter as a birthday present. 50 minutes' walk time has been reduced to 15 minute or even less riding on a scooter. As for the extra 45 minutes, she could take 30 minutes of them for a good sleep and keep herself at a very good state of mind since the very beginning. And the other 15 minutes guaranteed that she won't be late, reprimanded by the boss time and time again and worried she might get sacked off at any time.
There has been a quite amount of workers who are faced with the similar condition as Serena. If you haven't found a better solution, possibly it is a good choice to try what an Airwheel intelligent scooter could offer you.

BE YOURSELFie
People get tired of violence. Anger, as a form of aggression, is the most difficult emotion, strength and experience. The lack of ability to cope with aggression leads to the breakdown of the individual, environment and state.
The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. … Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.
Martin Luther King

Worcestershire Supporters' Association celebrate seven decades
Worcestershire Supporters' Association are celebrating seven decades of providing financial support for Worcestershire CCC – including the purchase of Blackfinch New Road for the club.
The Association has raised millions of pounds since its formation in 1951, providing assistance in helping Worcestershire CCC to survive and thrive on and off the field at various times with its timely backing.
Terracing, scoreboards, various buildings including the Ladies Pavilion and Marquee, ground maintenance support, flood damage repairs, financing and running a 'club' shop, critical funds in cash-strapped times and grants for players to undertake winter coaching have been funded by the Association.
Two of the stands at New Road are named not after many of the famous ex players who have graced the county but key members of the Association in Bob Brookes and Pat-Ken Mills in recognition of their work spanning many years.
But perhaps the most important contribution of all happened in 1976 when, after paying the annual ground rent for 21 years, the Association bought New Road from landlords Worcester Cathedral Dean And Chapter for the county.
Today the Association's relationship with the county club is strong and healthy – and they remain as committed as ever to raising funds and lending support to a wide range of projects.
Current Chairman Andrew Jenkins said: "The Association was a pioneering venture when it was set up all those years ago.
"Of course, we recognise the financial landscape within cricket has changed and, with the professional set-up of the club now and the financial support of the ECB, the funds required from the Association are not as major as in past times.
"The club from this year are also running and staffing the club shop and, if they generate lots more money, we will be delighted because that will benefit Worcestershire CCC.
"But we are still keen to play as active a role as possible in raising funds for the Ground Improvement Fund which over many, many years has provided millions of pounds for the club.
"When you think back, purchasing New Road was a massive project but if you look around the ground there are many other reminders of what the Association have contributed like the ladies pavilion, the old scoreboard, the wicket covers, the groundsman's tractor, two stands, the marquee etc
"Local cricket clubs and schools have also benefitted from grants given them by the Association.
"We are still going, everyone on the committee is a die hard Worcestershire CCC supporter, and we will continue to do all we can to add to raise monies to aid the club in any way they want us to help.
"These are challenging times (COVID-19) but we have an excellent relationship with Fanos Hira (Chairman) and David Hoskins (Commercial Manager) – an off the field team the Association are confident are leading the club in the right direction."

What is Ultrasound Imaging of the Breast?
Ultrasound imaging, also called ultrasound scanning or sonography, involves the use of a small transducer (probe) and ultrasound gel to expose the body to high-Frequency sound waves. Ultrasound is safe and painless, and produces pictures of the inside of the body using sound waves. Ultrasound examinations do not use Ionizing radiation (as used in x-rays). Because ultrasound images are captured in real-time, they can show the structure and movement of the body's internal organs, As well as blood flowing through blood vessels.
During a breast ultrasound examination the sonographer or physician performing the test may use Doppler techniques to evaluate blood flow or lack of flow in any Breast mass. In some cases this may provide additional information as to the cause of the mass.
Why should I do it?
The primary use of breast ultrasound today is to help diagnose breast abnormalities detected by a physician during a physical exam (such as a lump or bloody or Spontaneous clear nipple discharge) and to characterize potential abnormalities seen on mammography or breast MRI.
Doppler ultrasound is used to assess blood supply in breast lesions.
Any preparations needed?
You will be asked to undress from the waist up and to wear a gown during the procedure.

Prosecutor Western Justice has an amusing – so amusing it's possibly fake? – video up on his website from a DWI arrest. Basically, it's the falling over type.
WJ introduces the video with this thought:
Defense attorneys always make a big deal that the walk and turn test is on an imaginary line! (gasp). Well, even though it really does not matter if it is an imaginary line or an actual line, here is another reason why some police officers use an imaginary line.
Well, yes, defense attorneys do 'make a big deal' about that, and let's talk about why.
Police officers come into court and testify that attending a Field Sobriety Testing course taught by another police officer makes them an expert in DWI, and juries generally believe them.
In return, DWI lawyers ask jurors to believe the manual from the training the officer received. Seems like a fair bargain.
One common misconception that I see over and over on the part of officers, up to and including some of the local Austin DWI task force officers, is the belief that book doesn't require that a designated actual line be used.
If asked why the defendant was asked to walk an imaginary line instead of an actual line, most officers reply – some smugly – that 'the manual', that is the NHTSA manual, doesn't require it. Some offer to show the defense lawyer exactly where in the book it says they don't have to use an actual line.
Invariably, the officer will flip the pages and find this portion of the manual:
Procedures for Walk and Turn Testing
1. Instructions Stage: Initial Positioning and Verbal Instructions
For standardization in the performance of this test, have the suspect assume the heel-to-toe stance by giving the following verbal instructions, accompanied by demonstrations:
"Place your left foot on the line" (real or imaginary). Demonstrate.
[I'm taking this from the February 2006 Edition, Student Manual, page VIII-9 from Session VIII: Concepts and Principles of the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. It should be in Chapter 8 of most or all other manuals.]
That certainly looks at first blush as if the manual says there's no difference between the difficulty between walking an actual line, or walking an imaginary line. Although, it literally begs the question, "Officer, how wide a line did my client imagine?"
But no. The officer who so testifies is wrong. (Sorry, WJ, you're wrong too.)
Flip the page once more – VIII-11 in the one I'm reading now – and you come to the part entitled:
4. Test Conditions
Walk-and-Turn test [sic] requires a designated straight line, and should be conducted on a reasonable dry, hard, level, nonslippery surface.
Requires. So, how to explain the seeming discrepancy? Easy.
The first section is talking about "Verbal Instructions" and is clearly labeled so. It is the Instructions Stage. That means… it is talking about the portion of the test where the officer demonstrates the Walk and Turn to the suspect.
So, going by the book, it's perfectly OK for the officer to show the defendant how to do the test on his own imaginary line if he wants to do it that way. Heck, we all know they don't even have to demonstrate all 9 steps. They are allowed to do it that way.
But the NHTSA Manual makes no bones about it: if this test is going to be administered properly, then the defendant is supposed to be afforded the opportunity to do it on an actual line. It is literally: required. And yes, that's a potentially reasonable explanation for someone stepping 'off the line' – it wasn't there in the first place.
Perhaps WJ's point was that sometimes the defendant is so obviously impaired that it wouldn't make any difference whether there was an actual line or not. And yes, I have represented more of my fair share of those types of cases.
But as for defense lawyers insisting that their DWI clients be graded properly… I don't see anything wrong with that.

Today I've ran into a problem when I tried to compare 2 paritions (they are mounted Macrium images).
WinMerge has stopped at the file named c:\Program Files\WindowsApps\microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_16005.11425.20190.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\en-gb\locimages\offsym.ttf
I only noticed it after a lot of time went by, and then I restarted the comparison because a few days earlier I've also run into this issue, but this time it stopped here again. I opened Total Commander to see what's the problem, and I wasn't able to open, delete, or copy it because of permission (or read-lock, although I couldn't find handle to it) issues, nor to open the context menu of the file because tcmd would always crash. I've finally solved it by starting a cmd with System privileges and running del /f [path].
This is the first time WinMerge stopped at a file every single time I tried again scanning, but there were other occasions where for the next scan it was fine.
I think stopping at a file without giving a notification can be considered a bug, even because I wasn't able to close WinMerge by traditional means (only by killing the process).
Please could you do something about it? I think it would be the best if it would display a generic Windows error dialog, and at the same time it would continue the scan on the next files. Also, it would be good if I could try again comparing individual files when the scan has finished.

How to Make It
Heat oven to 400° F.
Gently toss the tomatoes, beans, fennel, parsley, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Tear off four 15-inch squares of parchment paper and arrange on 2 baking sheets. Spoon some of the bean mixture into the center of each square. Place the scallops on top of the beans. Top with 4 more squares of parchment and fold the edges over several times to seal. Bake for 15 minutes. Transfer each packet to a plate. Serve with a knife to slit the package open, and be careful of the steam that will escape.

The politics of the class struggle must be primary in any analysis of the recent attack by the state on the supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood. Politics are always primary. A dialectical analysis of the situation illustrates a contradiction between two ideologies that both support Capitalism's ability to control the state and for different particular imperialists and regional powers to hold sway over whatever group of bosses emerges as the dominant group. Though it is a tragedy that hundreds of workers have been killed over the past two days, the real tragedy continues to be the fact that the working class is still being mislead into supporting one or another group of bosses' ideology.
The Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters have begun to shoot back and are coopting the language of the left as they try to paint their religious fundamentalism with a progressive veneer. They have regional allies with Turkey and Qatar, both hegemons that are arming and supporting one rebel faction in the imperialist proxy war in Syria. No religious ideology will ever emancipate the working class from exploitation, not Islam or Catholic based liberation theology. The politics that one particular mass is supporting and being killed for will only subjugate them further and empower regional players like Turkey.
This massacre further illustrates the hypocrisy of the US. The US is in a win win situation. If the state completely fails and chaos reigns, then they don't have to go through the hassle of bombing it into oblivion and then shrugging their shoulders as they say they have to carry on with the rebuilding and fight terrorism as their actions with their humanitarian imperialism has illustrated. If the state does not fail and the army maintains power, then they have an ally that will function as counter weight to the Saudi's rival, Qatar, and a loyal and submissive client state. Either way that his resolves, we will probably see US troops stationed in Egypt – either under the auspices of the UN, some ad hoc alliance, or outright as part of the over 1.3 Billion dollars in military aid they currently receive.
The Progressive Labor Party does grieve for the innocent workers who have been killed over the past few days by the state, but we do not support the political aim of those workers nor do we support their ideology. We are further grieved by the lack of a mass Communist Party capable of turning the tables on capitalism and beginning a Communist revolution for the true liberation of the working class by setting up a wageless egalitarian society. The friends and allies of PLP in that part of the world as well as anybody interested in creating a lasting change need to intensify the struggle for Communist revolution so that we can bring this dark night where hundreds of workers are slaughtered for false consciousness to a close.
