For more than two decades, Pacific Northwest hotelier Gordon Sondland has been a prolific political donor, cultivating ties to successive GOP presidential contenders in part, associates say, to fulfill a dream of landing an ambassadorship.
But in 2016, when then-presidential nominee Donald Trump insulted the parents of a U.S. soldier killed in Iraq, Sondland decided it was a bridge too far. Although he was a state co-chair for the Trump campaign, Sondland repudiated the nominee and backed out of a high-dollar fundraiser scheduled in Seattle.
Then Trump won.
Just a few months after his disavowal, Sondland reversed course and gave Trump's inaugural committee $1 million, routed through four separate LLCs. A year later Trump rewarded Sondland, who had no prior diplomatic experience, naming him U.S. ambassador to the European Union.
Now Sondland, a Mercer Island native whose refugee parents ran a dry-cleaning business in West Seattle for a quarter-century, is at the center of the House impeachment inquiry of Trump. After building a successful business that gave him vast wealth and prestige as a philanthropist, Sondland, 62, is now embroiled in a scandal that risks defining his career.
He is named in the whistleblower report that led to the impeachment investigation into Trump's alleged abuse of power, and has been asked to testify before Congress this coming week.
Text messages released by House Democrats on Thursday show Sondland responding to another diplomat who objected to a seeming quid pro quo — linking U.S. foreign policy in Ukraine with Trump's political interests.
"As I said on the phone, I think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign," wrote veteran diplomat Bill Taylor on Sept. 9.
Sondland responded hours later, saying Taylor was "incorrect" and that the president had been "crystal clear no quid pro quo's of any kind." He added: "I suggest we stop texting back and forth."
Sondland is not a household name in Seattle, or even in state GOP politics, although he is a major civic and power player in Oregon. But he has long maintained his voter registration in downtown Seattle at Hotel Theodore, part of the Portland-based boutique hotel chain he founded.
"Always a quid pro quo"
Like many establishment Republican donors, Sondland was not originally a Trump supporter. He started out backing former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, donating $25,000 to his super PAC.
Sondland's political giving has been overwhelmingly to Republicans, with more than $420,000 going to GOP candidates for federal office since the late 1980s, versus about $25,000 for Democrats.
But he's maintained friendly ties to prominent Democrats. He was on the transition team of Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski, a Democrat, when he took office in 2003, and Kulongoski made him chairman of the Governor's Office of Film and Television. Sondland also served as a liaison between Kulongoski and George W. Bush's White House.
In a 2016 interview Sondland decried rising partisanship and looked back fondly on his days helping a liberal governor ask for aid from a conservative president. But his language — extolling the transactional nature of politics — is striking given the controversy he's involved in now.
"We would make these requests and they were done quietly, they were done with rifle precision and there was always a quid pro quo," Sondland said at an event for Portland business leaders in 2016. "The governor would help the president with something and the president would help the governor with something and it was very transactional."
Now, "there's less transactional, there's less comity, there's less ability to understand what someone else needs and figure out what you need and make a deal," he continued. "It's unfortunate because I think everyone loses in the process."
Sondland has not publicly addressed the Ukraine controversy and did not respond to a request for comment through the EU embassy in Brussels, Belgium.
While Sondland's alliances and political giving have trended heavily Republican in recent years, associates described him as more pragmatic than partisan, building relationships with whoever is in power.
"He was a cheerleader for incumbents, he became friends with people who were officeholders. That was his political ideology more than any bedrock conservatism," said Len Bergstein, a Portland political consultant who worked with Sondland during a long fight against a publicly owned convention center hotel in Portland.
Sondland became a campaign donation bundler for Mitt Romney's failed 2012 presidential campaign, in part to boost his chances of achieving his dream of a European ambassadorship, said David Nierenberg, an investment manager in Camas, Clark County, who helped lead Mitt Romney's national finance team.
Sondland "was not reticent" about his pursuit of a diplomatic post, preferring a German-speaking nation, which would have meant a son of Holocaust refugees "would have come full circle," Nierenberg said. "This is what he wanted and long sought."
Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden vouched for Sondland, known in Oregon as "Gordie," as "a really good fit" during his confirmation hearing last June for the EU ambassador post.
Wyden praised the hotelier's civic involvement, noting he'd known Sondland's family for years in Oregon's relatively small Jewish community. Sondland has frequently donated to his campaigns.
On Friday, Wyden issued a statement saying Sondland "and any official who has knowledge of Trump's schemes to get foreign leaders to interfere in our elections" should cooperate with the ongoing impeachment inquiry.
"Donald Trump has a long history of throwing his associates under the bus to protect his own skin, and I expect that any Trump official banking on this administration to protect them ought to think seriously about the prospect of major disappointment," Wyden warned.
Refugees' son to hotel magnate
Sondland grew up on Mercer Island, born to Jewish parents who married in Germany when his mother was 15 and then fled to escape the Holocaust.
His dad had been a fur trader, but that business didn't really exist in Seattle. Both his parents went to Seattle Community College for a year, where they learned the dry-cleaning business, his mother said in a University of Washington oral history project. They bought a West Seattle dry cleaner and ran Fauntleroy Cleaners until they retired in their 70s.
The family was "lower middle class," Sondland said in the 2016 interview, but lived amid great wealth on Mercer Island.
"You saw some kids on their 16th birthday with the new BMW that their parents bought them and some kids had to walk to school or take the bus," he said. "It created a lot of interesting dynamics that probably followed me for the rest of my life."
He went to the University of Washington and later started working in Seattle as a real estate broker. He sold apartment buildings, mainly, "a lot of the little brick buildings on Capitol Hill, Queen Anne Hill."
Around 1985, a broker who worked for him showed him a bankrupt hotel and asked about how to sell it. Sondland put together an investment group and bought the property himself, paying $7.8 million for the Roosevelt Hotel in downtown Seattle.
Now known as the Hotel Theodore, it's appraised at more than $52 million and is one of 14 hotels owned by Provenance Hotels, the boutique chain Sondland founded. The chain includes Seattle's Hotel Max, Tacoma's Hotel Murano and six hotels in Portland, including The Heathman.
As his wealth grew, Sondland and his wife, Katherine Durant, built an art collection valued at up to $25 million, according to federal financial disclosures. He's been a major donor to the Portland Art Museum and the Frye Art Museum in Seattle. Both museums have facilities named after Sondland's family.
He's also given to Washington politicians, including Democrats Norm Dicks and Maria Cantwell and Republicans Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Jaime Herrera Beutler in Congress, and Republican Dino Rossi's 2008 campaign for governor.
With Sondland facing intense scrutiny over his role in the Ukraine affair, his former associates fear his ambition to be a high-ranking diplomat could wind up permanently tarnishing his name.
Nierenberg said in the years he worked with Sondland on political fundraising, "he never said or did anything that gave me any question about his personal ethics."
But Nierenberg now said he feels "queasy" about what he is reading.
"If I were in a position to provide counsel to Gordon, I would say you are going to be testifying next week: Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

Finally, this doodle painting is completed. It took me almost a week to complete it. I was working on a commission portrait and had to put this aside. I fell sick several days ago and couldn't really work on anything and this piece was further delayed. I wrote about this doodle here: Doodle Painting | Orang Ulu Girl.
The Orang Ulu tribal groups are diverse, they typically live in longhouses elaborately decorated with murals and woodcarvings.They are also well known for their intricate beadwork detailed tattoos, rattan weaving, and other tribal crafts. The Orang Ulu tribes can also be identified by their unique music – distinctive sounds from their sapes, a plucked boat-shaped lute, formerly with two strings, nowadays usually with four strings. They also practice Kanjet, a form of traditional dance. ~ Wikipedia
I guess I could never stick to monochrome colors or at most 3 colors. Almost all of my paintings are colorful! LOL rainbow colors make me happy. This painting is no exception, something bright, cheerful happy!

When it comes to Gatlinburg Cabins or Pigeon Forge cabins, one of the best things to come out of humanity in the last generation or so is the increased social empathy and camaraderie we've had with our four (or sometimes more) legged friends. Today, you'll see people of nearly all generations treat their pets as if they really are fellow humans – they become brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, even niece, nephew and grandchildren for some families and for good reason! Even some of our most difficult animal wards truly love us the same way we love them, and at Bear Camp Cabins, we want you to have the opportunity to include them on your family vacation to the Smokies.
After all, they are family, aren't they?
Whereas most cabin companies in Sevier County only have a few accommodations available for pets, Bear Camp has more than 25 cabins that are pet-friendly. These cabins offer the same full amenities as our regular cabins and quality is not sacrificed to offer these special accommodations. Our list of pet-friendly cabins are as follows:
These cabins range from 1 bedroom honeymoon cabins to 5 bedrooms fit for larger families or reunions! They feature all the amenities you came to the Smokies to seek: hot tubs, jacuzzis, cable/satellite TV, convenience to attractions and views, views, views!
Our pet policy is as follows:
Max 40 Pounds and must be crated if left alone on property
"There is a non-refundable $75+tax per pet fee. Pets are only allowed in pet friendly cabins. This fee does not cover any damages to cabin or excess clean up in the form of carpet cleaning or spraying. If your pet sheds excessively, leaves behind fleas or damages to the property, you will be responsible for the cost of cleaning, spraying, repair or replacement. It is recommended that pets left alone in the cabin be crated. If a pet is found in a non pet friendly cabin a fine of up to $1000 cleaning fee will be charged to guest and guest will be escorted from the property immediately. All money paid by guest will be forfeited."
If that works for you, your pet is more than welcome to have fun with us at Bear Camp Cabins! We look forward to serving you and your group to the fullest extent of our customer service, whether you're human or not!
And if you're wondering if you can bring pets to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, see this link here: https://www.nps.gov/grsm/planyourvisit/pets.htm. We hope we get to see you and your pets this season at Bear Camp Cabins!

If your home is built using solid wall or hollow block construction methods, cavity fill insulation is not an option. Internal insulation (sometimes referred to as 'dry-lining') involves fixing insulation to the inner surfaces of your external walls. This usually involves fixing an insulation board to the walls and covering it with a vapour barrier layer and plasterboard.
At Kingdom installation we have a team of professional trades who will install the insulated plasterboard and skim finish your walls. The work is quite labour intensive, involving the repositioning of skirting boards, electrical sockets, Switches and any other wall attachments but the benefits are very rewarding in terms of annual savings. Savings of between €150 - €300 per year on your heating bills can be expected for a typical detached house.
Another big incentive is that there are grants in place of between €1500 - €4500 depending on your property type, for completing internal dry-lining works to an existing domestic house.

The Human Microbiome Reimagined as a Cut-Paper Coral Reef by Rogan Brown
Using the visual metaphor of a coral reef, artist Rogan Brown (previously) introduces his audience to the diverse bacteria, archaea, fungi found in the human body through paper-based sculptures. The detailed works are created after months of research and hunting for aesthetic parallels that might link the two surprisingly similar worlds.
His series Magical Circle Variations merge these sources of inspiration with a pastel color scheme that can also be found in a coral habitat. More

LHEF for Matching
From Wiki Les Houches 09
The Les Houches Event File accord (LHEF) was introduced in 2006 and was meant as a standard way of representing in an ASCII file the information in the old Les Houches common block accord from 2001. LHEF was constructed using XML tags to be easy to extend (although some additional structure is assumed inside some tags which is not formulated in XML). The standard has been extremely usefull, and has been used a lot to interface matrix element generators and parton shower programs.
The standards are found here:
* A standard format for Les Houches event files, hep-ph/0609017 * Generic User Process Interface for Event Generators, hep-ph/0109068
As the matching and merging of tree-level matrix elements and parton showers are now becoming the state-of-art, it is reasonable to let this be reflected in an updated file format to standardise how relevant information should be given by the matrix element generators (MEGs) in a usable fashion for the parton shower programs (PSGs). Furthermore, looking ahead towards the time when NLO matching and merging with parton showers hopefully will become the standard, it might be worth thinking about which additional information is needed for the parton showers in this case.
Below you will find a rough draft of additional XML tags suggsted to be included in the new standard (version 2.0).
Run information
This is information about all events in the file to be included inside the "init" tag after the compulsary block of parameters corresponding to the HEPRUP common block.
The xsecinfo tag (required)
The information in the HEPRUP common block is in principle sufficient to figure out the cross sections of the processes involved. However, the way things are specified is a bit confusing and complicated since it was assumed to be used to pass information between the MEG and PSG in both directions. For the event file, the communication is per definition one-way, and the information can be made more easily provided. The suggested attributes for the xsecinfo tag are as follows (R means the attribute is required. 'D=' means a default is assumed if the tag is absent).
* neve (R): the number of events in the file * totxsec (R): the total cross section (in units of pb) of all processes in the file * maxweight (D=1): the maximum weight of any event in the file (in arbitrary unit) * meanweight (D=1): The average weight of the events in the file (same unit as maxweight. * negweights (D=no): If yes, the file may contain events with negative weights. * varweights (D=no): If yes, the file may contain varying weights (if no, all events are weighted with maxweight=meanweight.
The information given per process in the HEPRUP common block can then safely be ignored and the cross section for each process is assumed to be sumprocw*totxsec/maxweight/neve.


text: The 2012 election is approaching fast and both parties are scrambling to find popular positions that will win the support of the public. The President himself, is desperately appealing to the American people to appreciate the progress that has occurred under his leadership. His campaign is feverishly trying to anticipate the next move of his republican opponents. However, the GOP's new "winning" position may not have been anticipated by anyone, let alone, the President and his minions. The GOP is preparing to pitch itself, as The Anti-War Party. The audacity of such a position is likely to be seen as so incredible that few in the belt way have been willing to consider it. The GOP promoted the war in Afghanistan and then the war in Iraq. Prior to leaving office, the GOP's pundits were clamoring for George W. Bush to strike against Iran. Despite it's willingness to fight overseas, the GOP has begun to parry, in order to foil President Obama. An increasing number of Republicans have come out, in direct opposition to the war effort in Afghanistan. The rumblings of this avalanche were initiated by the vehemently anti-war Ron Paul. Paul's sentiments were later seconded, by failed Presidential candidate, Jon Huntsman. Huntsman was ridiculed at the time and candidates like , Rick Perry suggested that they would double down in Afghanistan. But more Republicans have since adopted the Huntsman doctrine. Newt Gingrich is transitioning to a-"pull out now"-campaign position. Loud voices in the conservative movement like Sean Hannity are also beginning to call for retreat. Their new found distaste for the war they called for, is based on a series of events in Afghanistan. Afghans recently rioted over the unprovoked attack of a U.S. soldier. The potentially disturbed, 38 year old soldier (on his 4th tour), recently massacred 16 afghans in the dead of night. A series of fumbles have become convenient excuses for the GOP to abandon the war and lay blame for its very existence on President Obama! While calling for retreat, an increasing number of republicans are basing their opposition on President Obama's inability to fight the war effectively. By making themselves the party that wants to withdraw from Afghanistan and President Obama the defender of the decade long war, the GOP may have just stumbled upon a message more potent then the lack of job creation in the country.

Surely it has happened more than once, you access the social profile of some of the brands you follow and you find an endless series of messages that do not really tell you anything, just try to sell. What this timeline shows is not by far a conversation, but an endless number of promotional messages, one after another, with a clear commercial intentionality, without reflecting any hint of human life. Is there anyone there? Do you really expect to create a community with that behavior in social networks?
Nothing further from reality, Social Media is the realm of conversation, and this can only happen between people, nobody wants to talk to a robot or a real automaton. So here we show you some of the basic guidelines to prove that at the head of your social profiles there is someone of flesh and blood:
Make manual publications. Automation is a wonderful invention that helps you keep your timeline alive, even when you are not present. But managing your social networks can not be reduced to just that. The tools are to make your job easier, but they have no life of their own. Therefore, it is important that you make an appearance, publish on those topics that are relevant at that time and participate actively in the conversation.
Customize the RTs. Retuits are a way of sharing content that you find interesting, and in turn get the attention of the initial issuer. Do not limit yourself simply to retweeting, but you will get a better result if you enrich it with a personal comment or valuation.
A new follower is an opportunity for engagement. Do not send canned DMs. When someone begins to follow you, it is because you bet on your brand, because it wants to be in some way in touch with you. You can take the opportunity to approach your new contact and welcome him, thanking you for your vote of confidence; Offering you something special to become part of your community. But in no case you send him the well-known canned message, which you also wrote some time ago, and whose content is also obsolete. Be careful to know who he is and talk to him from you to him, you will aim a little.
Respond to your followers. Social networks are a space open to dialogue, where your users come when they have something to talk about, or need your help. Monitor this type of interactions and show your responsiveness, responding as soon as possible, with a useful and effective response. In this way you will show that there is really someone behind your social profile, who is willing to listen and attend to his followers.
Avoid redundancy. Let's not fool ourselves, the ultimate purpose of your presence in social networks is to sell; However, you can not drill your community always with the same message. It is seen that if you throw the same message several times, you have a better chance of reaching your audience, but you can say the same thing in many ways. A tweet is not a television spot, whose cost of production is very high; So you can compose many messages to convey the same main idea.
Mention your followers. Starting from the idea that Social Media is a space open to dialogue, we all like to be addressed to us, it makes us feel important. Here is the same. Study your audience and interact with them; Offer additional content on that topic they have just discussed, or answer them if they raise a question.
In the variety is the spice. Enrich your timeline with a wide variety of content. Do not stick to pure and hard text, share images and videos; Launch polls and, above all, listen to your audience, so you know what needs and how to satisfy them.
Watch what others do. Learn what really works and adapt those techniques that are applicable. Study the behavior of the great tweeters, when, how and what they share. Become a fan of those brands that have a dynamic community on Facebook, so you can know how they care for their fans to make them interact and want to stay with them.
Distribute the publications over time. The natural habit is to maintain a continuous presence, adjusted to the volume of followers, or to community activity. Do not post multiple hit updates, or be several days unpublished. That is not human.
Do not publish exactly the same on all social platforms. Each social platform has its own language, its own patterns of behavior. Users are not usually the same, but have different needs. The immediacy of Twitter has no place in Facebook, where more elaborate content is expected, with some added value, such as a playful component.
You definitely have to assume that promotions are not everything, or that your brand should be the center of attention; But social networks are to promote the rapprochement between the brand and the users. Your goal should be to create a living community, and that is only achieved between people, not between automata.

I am a second-year graduate student and I will be teaching first-year German courses for the academic year 2019-20. I joined the Department of Germanics in Fall 2018 after completing my BA in German, Scandinavian & Dutch at the University of Minnesota. My research interests are broad yet are almost entirely concerned with what it means to be human in various contexts (these include in the age of globalization and in the Anthropocene). With this in mind, I am interested in the theories and methodologies of ecocriticism, queer studies, and Jewish studies, among others. A large focus of my research is dedicated to German and Austrian writers, though I am also interested in various works from Dutch-, Norwegian-, and English-language writers.

The Rules documentation describes how rules work and how they are configured. Firewall uses rules to determine to block/pass the specific session, and if the sessions is flagged. Flagging a session marks it in the logs for reviewing in the event logs or reports, but has no direct effect on the network traffic.
Typically Untangle is installed as a NAT/gateway device, or behind another NAT/gateway device in bridge mode. In this scenario all inbound sessions are blocked by NAT except those explicitly allowed with port forwards. Because of this, the Firewall does not block anything by default.

Lifetime-optimized high-performance multiuse and modular battery system based on a design for easy renewability
- German - Korean joint project
- German project partners: Constin GmbH, TU Berlin

- Funded by ZIM
- Project duration: 01.11.2019 - 31.08.2022
increasing awareness of the environmental impact of vehicles with
combustion engine, electric mobility has increased significantly. A
widely used energy storage for electric vehicles are Lithium-ion
batteries which will be replaced after 5-8 years of use. These
batteries are not completely out of order, but less efficient compared
to new ones. Disposing of these batteries without testing if they can
be used in a 2nd-life version would be a waste of rare materials. The
recycling process of batteries is often tedious and less efficient.
Currently there are just a few companies that properly recycle their
batteries with little waste. This leads to the question if the reuse
of these batteries e.g. for stationary applications is more
This project
is concerned with the development of a 48V battery system which is
characterized by its life-time optimized and easy to disassemble
design. A conventional battery system usually consists of many single
cells which are welded together. If just one cell ages prematurely the
battery loses capacity very quickly and thus becomes prematurely
unusable. To equip the battery system partially or completely with new
cells the new design is free of any welded or soldered connections.
One of the research focus of the project is to determine the state of health (SOH) of the battery system and/or each single cell. Determining the SOH as accurately as possible can optimize the runtime of the battery system within the 1st-life application and also building the basis of the decision whether a cell is suitable for a 2nd-life application or not. Battery management systems (BMS) currently using model-based methods to determine the SOH online (during operation) which requires extensive preliminary investigations of the used cell type and does not take the individual aging of the cells into account. Common methods for offline SOH determination are capacitance measurements or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Both methods are quite exact but costly in terms of time and therefore not suitable for a fully automated sorting process. The aim of the research is the evaluation of alternative parameters to determine the SOH directly. Accelerated aging tests will be performed for selection and validation of these alternative parameters. Based on the results new methods and algorithms will be developed to determine the SOH in short time and with high accuracy.

After being trolled for carrying Vera Sidika, singer Otile Brown has finally responded to the trolls who called his woman plastic.
The whole drama begun on Tuesday July 10th when Vera shared a photo of Otile lifting her up on social media.
The curvaceous lass captioned the image saying, "Get you a strong man who can carry you like a baby."
Trolls however rushed into the comment section to remind her that plastic isn't heavy and anyone can lift it up.
Otile Brown later took to Instagram stories to respond to the cheeky comments by sharing a photo of him holding Vera's dearie.
"Some people's comments make us laugh." he wrote

FSU alumn Wayne Messam hoping for a 1 percent boost to be a viable presidential candidate
Undeterred by long odds, Wayne Messam rolled his six-week-old presidential campaign onto the campus of his alma mater Friday and asked for help.
The Mayor of Miramar, and a former Florida State University wide receiver, Messam spoke Friday to about 150 people at the Capital Tiger Bay Club. He said he embraces the challenge of running against former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, and 20 other candidates for the Democratic nomination.
Unlike Biden and Sanders, Messam hasn't spent decades in politics building lists with millions of names of contributors and volunteers. The 44-year-old Messam was first elected to the Miramar city council in 2011.
And while the two veteran politicians enjoy double digit leads on the candidates in a crowded Democratic field, Messam said if he can reach 1 percent of support in three polls by the time the debates begin, he'll make a competitive run.
Messam hits that mark in just one taken so far, a FOX poll of New Hampshire voters. He asked his Tallahassee audience to help him spread the word to get him eligible for the first two primary debates set for June and July.
"So, I say if you agree with this message help me get my message heard. How my message will be heard is on the debate stage," said Messam. "I have to get exposure to be heard by enough Americans to get to the point of viability."
Messam has a four-point platform that includes planks to reduce gun violence, health care costs, student loan debt, and mitigate the impact of climate change.
"We are not addressing these high-stakes problems," he tells supporters.
His Tallahassee appearance came on the heels of a six-day swing through Iowa and New Hampshire.
More:From football to politics: Former FSU receiver Wayne Messam to run for president
Unknown nationally, except to college football fans, Messam confessed his campaign is a leap of faith but adds that long odds are not something new to him.
He said that his story is an unlikely one as a child of Jamaican parents without a fifth grade education, who didn't even understand football. But he would attend FSU, be a part of the national championship team, and then go on to defeat a well-liked four-term incumbent to become Miramar's first black mayor.
His quest now, he said is, "to restore the promise of America."
"Because everything in the White House right now is the opposite of that," said Messam.
"I don't judge the health and strength of our economy by how well large corporations are doing," said Messam. "I judge the strength of our economy by how our seniors are doing. How hard working Americans are living. Do they have to work two and three jobs to make ends meet?"
As mayor of Florida's 13th largest city, Messam raised wages for city workers, sued the state over preemption of gun laws and navigated the aftermath of Hurricane Irma.
He was reelected mayor earlier this year with 86 percent of the vote.
Messam traveled to Tallahassee without any campaign staff, he said, because he considers it home. The Miami New Times reports the campaign underwent a shake-up recently with at least one worker complaining about missed paychecks.

COVID-19 cases pass 800 in Oakland County
Pontiac — Oakland County Executive David Coulter announced new COVID-19 statistics Friday in a live Facebook message while encouraging residents to "stay safe and stay at home."
As of Friday there have been 863 positive case related to the virus and 28 deaths in Oakland County. "These are not just numbers," Coulter said, noting they represent parents, grandparents, co-workers and neighbors.
He encouraged residents to follow all of the instructions to help isolate from the virus, especially practicing safe distancing from others. The county has ordered all essential businesses to screen employees for health concerns and encourage safe distancing — at least six feet — by the visiting public.
Coulter stressed besides the "somber" news, there were positive programs surfacing in the county such as a county-sponsored "Restaurant to Shelter" initiative to get food delivered to shelters with the help of businesses like Beans & Cornbread in Southfield and Lafayette Market in Pontiac.
Coulter said Garden Fresh creator Jack Aaronson also started an effort to distribute prepackaged meals this weekend.
Most of all, Coulter reminded county residents to take stock of their physical, emotional and mental health and to "take some time away from the news to pull out the puzzles and board games" and to reach out to family and neighbors by phone.
He encouraged residents to take advantage of the County Helpline at (248) 858-1000 for tips on handling health and non-health issues related to the virus.
"We're going to get through this together," he said.

Inhabiting the Skin: Bodily Histories in Colum McCann's Transatlantic
Palavras-chave:Transatlantic, Colum McCann, body, history, Frederick Douglass
This essay intends to analyze how the body is represented to signify History and histories through the characters in the novel Transatlantic (2013), written by acclaimed Irish author Colum McCann. On the one hand, taking into account the "political economy of the body" postulated by Michel Foucault, the body may be understood as a space of social, political and historical inscription. On the other, bringing the work of Didier Anzieu about the skin ego to a literary approach, the human corporeal presence may also be taken as the mediator between History and the subjective historical experience. In Transatlantic, more precisely on the chapter entitled "1845-46 – Freeman", McCann writes about the crossing of the Atlantic done by the orator, writer, and abolitionist Frederick Douglass, also a fugitive slave, to a famine-devastated Ireland, hoping to win his freedom in this journey. Douglass marveled at the whiteness of the Irish skin as much as he was estranged for his being black. Personal, social, and historical issues are learned and resignified by the protagonist in this encounter, which is precisely the discussion focus of the present work.

Good morning and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for House of Spines by Michael J Malone.
I am thrilled to be taking part in the tour and providing a review.
Michael J Malone is an author that I have admired from afar. Numerous book bloggers sing his praises and his book, A Suitable Lie, has been on my TBR pile anxiously awaiting me. From what I have been told, his writing is completely addictive and captivating. Now that I have finished House of Spines, I would have to say, I totally agree. Malone had me hooked from the moment I turned the first page and I was completely drawn into this dark, gothic world within the pages. I could not put it down.
I am a huge fan of any gothic literature, so I was extremely pleased when I read the synopsis of this book and I was even more impressed as I read the story to see all the classic elements of the gothic that Malone incorporates while bringing his own unique twists to the story. Centrally, the story surrounds Ran, a man whose world has been turned upside down. Suffering from his own mental issues and inheriting an old mansion (with some seriously creepy features), Ran soon realizes that everything is not as it seems.
Like the style I have come to known with Orenda titles, my favourite parts of the novel came down to the description of the setting, more specifically of Newton Hall. I loved the dark imagery and the ominous feel.
This is not the typical psychological thriller that one would be expecting: the pacing is pretty slow. However, I absolutely loved the unreliable narrator in Ran and the simplicity of a classic ghost story.
Truly, I believe this to be the perfect book to curl up with on a cool, autumn night. It won't just be the breeze that would send shivers down your spine!

Use of the respiratory stimulant doxapram in southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina)
Woods, R and McLean, SR and Nicol, SC and Slip, D and Burton, HR, Use of the respiratory stimulant doxapram in southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina), The Veterinary Record, 138, (21) pp. 514-517. ISSN 0042-4900 (1996) [Refereed Article]

DOI: doi:10.1136/vr.138.21.514
The use of doxapram to stimulate breathing was examined in southern elephant seals chemically restrained with ketamine and xylazine. Animals which were breathing spontaneously received doxapram (approximately 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 mg/kg) or saline into the extradural intravertebral vein. Doxapram caused a dose-dependent increase in the depth and rate of respiration which began within one minute, peaked after two minutes and lasted for up to five minutes. A dose of 2 mg/kg appeared to be safe and effective for the stimulation of respiration, while 4 mg/kg caused arousal and shaking. Doxapram (2 mg/kg) was tested on 14 occasions in animals which had developed apnoea during chemical restraint. Doxapram had no effect when administered into the extradural intravertebral vein and appeared to be of more benefit when administered directly into the lungs via an endotracheal tube, but it was not effective in all cases. There was evidence to suggest that the endotracheal tube prevented some of the animals from breathing. The effect of intubation and endotracheal doxapram administration was therefore examined in 19 apnoeic and 31 spontaneously breathing seals. Intubation induced apnoea in animals at low levels of chemical restraint and endotracheal doxapram was unreliable for the stimulation of breathing.

|Italeri 1/72 Ju-86 (Civil)
|$? Not in current (2004) catalogues
|Two options
|Scott Van Aken
The Ju-86 was, of course, developed primarily as a bomber. But in the climate of the 1930s, it was best for the Luftwaffe to have the pretense of the aircraft being a civil transport. This was basically an open secret as anyone familiar with aircraft design could see that these were not really what they were purported to be. Nonetheless, the Ju-86 was developed as a transport and as German airliners go, it was relatively successful, though not to the same degree as the company's Ju-52.
One of the more interesting developments was the use of diesel engines as the main power source. These engines put out a respectable amount of power, but were somewhat unreliable, and eventually the Ju-86 switched over to air cooled reciprocating engines. These diesel powered airliners were operated by both Lufthansa and by Swiss Air.
Italeri's kit basically uses the sprues from the Ju-86D bomber and incorporates a new fuselage for the civil airliner. The kit is of the raised detail gang, which does matter to some, but really, it is nicely done and should not detract in any way from the completed model. In addition, there is a new section to the clear sprue in the form of cabin windows. There is no cabin interior and the cockpit consists of a single seat, control column, and instrument panel with decal. In other words, what you get with the bomber kit. It seems to me that perhaps the civil version might have had a co-pilot and dual controls.
You'll need to install and fill in the bomb bay doors and lower gun position. All the gunners and guns will be surplus to requirements for this one. In general the kit is free of flash but does suffer somewhat from ejector pin marks in places that will be difficult to remove. There are also a few sink areas on thicker parts, but fixing those should be a breeze.
Instructions are quite good and well drawn with seven major construction steps. There are no options. Markings are for two aircraft, both in overall silver. The Lufthansa one has black engines while the Swiss Air version has red prop spinners. No swastika is provided on the decal sheet so you'll have to scrounge that from a spares sheet. Decals are well printed and very matte.
Having built one of the various bomber versions of this kit many years back, I can tell you that it goes together well with minimal problems. Now with the airliner option, those who don't normally do military aircraft, or those looking for something a bit different will have a nice model to add to their shelves.

Bisexual 19 Year Old Redheaded Twink Auditions For Gay Porn
Dirty Tony just released a new audition video featuring a sexy redheaded twink with a nice size cock. Max Breeker is a proud bisexual who loves being with both men and women, but admits that he does prefer a big hard cock over a tight juicy pussy. This sexy redhead is 19 years old and prefers his sexual male partners be at least 30 years old and up. During his audition video, Max talks about his first experience with another guy. Max was taking the train in California when another guy started eye fucking him. The guy whips out his cock and the two of them started masturbating together in the back of the train until both of them jizzed all over. After the interview is over, Max puts his hand down his pants and starts rubbing his cock. After a few moments, he unbuckles his belt and pulls out his hard cock which is buried in a mound of hot ginger pubes. Max starts stroking his cock until he has a throbbing boner. Once hard, he drops his pants and starts really jerking his big cock. As he strokes his cock, he turns around so that the camera can get a good look at his juicy ass. Max continues to stroke his big cock faster and faster. As the jerking grows faster, his breath quickens and his body starts to tighten up as he nears orgasm. He gives his cock a few more quick strokes and his toes start to curl and cum starts shooting out of his cock, landing all over his smooth chest. Wow!

I have missed hosting monthly book discussions at the library. We are taking our book discussions online, using Zoom. Our next book discussion is on Tuesday, May 26, at 7:00 pm. We will be talking about the novel America for Beginners, by Leah Franqui. My earlier review is here. This first novel, which is both poignant and funny, is about Pival Sengupta, a widow from Kolkata, India, who books a private tour from New York to California, to find out what happened to her estranged son, Rahi. Her tour guide, Satya, has never traveled west of New York City, and her companion, Rebecca, is an aspiring actress. Please register here. The book is available to download at Hoopla and from our Libby/Overdrive collection, Media on Demand.
Happy reading! Brenda

Afternoon all,
As the title gives away I am looking for a new place to call home and relax with some chilled people. I have a combat main and scanner/indy alt and would love to find a EU/UK based WH Corp looking for members!
Combat main can fly most subcap ships to a pretty darn good standard including Logi and T3s. Scanner alt is as it appears but can also run links and what not!
I have reasonable experience in WHs and just want to get back to enjoying the game in small/medium gang fights that are sought after for the fun!
I have discord, am active and willing to train into any doctrines etc!
Only things I ask is that EU TZ is the primary TZ, not a bit of EU and mainly US (no offence American friends) and that nothing is taken too seriously, better to have a laugh when whelping let's be fair!
Any queries give me a mail, or reply here!
Have a good weekend.
Cheers, S! o7

Chinese Officials Debate Whether to Allow First Public Address By HIV-Positive Person
According to the Beijing Morning Post, Chinese officials are debating whether to allow an unnamed person with HIV to address a national HIV prevention conference next month, Reuters reports. The state-run newspaper said that the address would mark the first time that someone with HIV has spoken publicly, as all people with HIV/AIDS depicted in the media have remained anonymous until now. However, officials are concerned about the "social repercussions" of the appearance. According to the Post, "Many AIDS sufferers are looked down on once they reveal their predicament, so organizers of the event have reason to worry. Someone trying to lead a brave life could meet many obstacles for revealing his situation." HIV/AIDS remains a "taboo" subject in China, where "widespread ignorance" about the disease remains. Those with HIV/AIDS are protected from job, education and marriage discrimination by law, but those laws are not always fully enforced, according to the paper. The government acknowledged in August that the nation is facing an epidemic, with 3,541 cases of HIV reported in the first six months of this year, and has outlined a plan to contain HIV infections to fewer than 1.5 million by 2010. U.N. experts estimate that the nation could have as many as 10 million infected people by that time if "decisiv[e]" actions are not taken (Vidaillet, Reuters, 10/15).This is part of the KHN Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

Here's who is getting rich from Slack's stock market debut
- Following a huge return from the CrowdStrike IPO last week, Accel is the biggest winner in Slack's direct listing.
- Accel owns 23.8% of Slack and Andreessen Horowitz owns 13.2% of the company.
- Slack Co-founder and CEO Stewart Butterfield controls 8.4%.
Venture firm Accel is known for making one of the most lucrative start-up bets in history, parlaying an early $12.2 million investment in Facebook into a stake worth over $9 billion at the time of the company's IPO in 2012.
Seven years later, Accel is enjoying a comparable stretch of success.
The firm is the biggest investor in Slack, owning a 23.8% stake as the messaging app hit the public market on Thursday. Based on an opening price of $38.50 on the New York Stock Exchange, Accel's shares are worth $4.6 billion.
That's a decade after the firm put $1.5 million into the seed round of a gaming company called Tiny Speck, which later morphed into Slack.
"As investors it is easy to get lost in the complexities of product market fit or connecting a young company to an established category," Accel's Andrew Braccia wrote in a blog post on Thursday. "Slack is a great reminder that the most interesting companies are often the ones whose courses aren't easily charted. The commonalities between those companies start and end with the drive, creativity and resilience of their founders and early team members."
The economy is booming:But are Americans' finances healthier because of it?
Braccia, who's a Slack board member, made similar comments in a 2015 interview with TechCrunch. He said he talked to Slack co-founder Stewart Butterfield at the time of the pivot about whether the company should return the money now that the gaming idea was clearly a flop.
"But the company we'd invested in was Tiny Speck, which produced the game," Braccia told TechCrunch. "And the reason we invested in Tiny Speck was because we were investing in that team. I told Stewart, 'If you want to continue to be an entrepreneur and build something, then I'm with you.'"
Butterfield is a billionaire
Slack's direct listing comes just over a week after the IPO of security software company CrowdStrike, which counts Accel as its second-biggest shareholder, owning stock worth $2.6 billion. In 2013, Accel led CrowdStrike's $30 million Series B financing round.
Those are huge hauls, particularly for a firm that has traditionally raised sub-billion-dollar funds, and they account for two of the biggest venture returns of 2019, a year that's included the debuts of Uber and Lyft. Unlike those high-profile IPOs, Slack chose to go public through a direct listing, meaning the company didn't raise fresh capital but is letting existing shareholders convert their shares into stock that can be traded.
Optimism on Wall Street:Stocks near new highs on hopes of US-China trade truce and prospect of Fed rate cuts
Accel isn't the only Silicon Valley firm poised to get rich off Slack. Andreessen Horowitz owns 13% (worth $2.6 billion at the open) and Social Capital controls 10% ($2 billion).
Butterfield is the biggest individual shareholder, with an 8.4% stake ($1.6 billion), followed by co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Cal Henderson at 3.3% ($639 million).
The NYSE gave a reference price for Slack on Wednesday night of $26 a share. When Spotify debuted in a similar fashion last year, its reference price was $132, but the stock opened at $165.90 the following day before closing at $149.01.
Slack's price was ultimately determined by the designated market maker, based off a calculation of a figure where buy orders could be met with sell orders.

Outdoor Learning is a wide term that includes: outside play in the early years, faculty grounds projects, and environmental education, leisure and adventure activities. In recent times, there has been a global shift towards technology and indoor classroom activities and recess and outdoor time has been cut short. With a lack of government funding on public parks and facilities, many children live what one play authority referred to as childhood imprisonment. Most young children spend their free time at home in front of televisions and screens, and the only opportunity they get to play outdoors is at schools.
According to LOTC – Council of Learning Outside the Classroom:
"It is essential that young children get frequent and regular opportunities to explore and learn in the outdoor environment and this should not be seen as an optional extra. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum, which covers children aged birth to the end of the Reception year, became statutory in September 2008 and places a strong emphasis on the importance and value of daily outdoor experiences for children's learning and development.
Some of the aspects that impact child development through outdoor play are as follows:
The sun's UV rays help the body make nutrients and it's extremely essential for growing bodies of young children. It also helps you take in and use certain minerals, like calcium and phosphorus.
Children who spend time playing outdoors use their gross motor muscles to run, skip, jump and use the outdoor equipment which further strengthens their balance, agility and overall health. The blood flow to the brain through exercise, helps children get smarter.
In fresh, outdoor air, children do not have to re-breathe the germs of the group, and the chance for spreading infection is reduced. Strengthen immune system Playing outside allows your child an escape from indoor germs and bacteria.
Outdoors are not structures like classrooms. A natural outdoor environment filled with intriguing natural material can boost creativity and imagination for children. Making mud pies, sandcastles and structures out of leaves can help young minds experiment with their ideas as well as provide a sensory encounter necessary for children.
Executive function
Spending time outdoors supports the development of executive functions in several ways. Developing executive function skills is a combination of brain development and life experience, for this the early years are crucial. Nature play focuses on problem-solving, creativity, and emotional and intellectual development
There is a bacterium in soil that has been found to increase serotonin in the brain and improve mood. We all do better when we are happy and feeling good. Lack of play hurts children. When children go outside and play, the develop skills like cooperation, it helps in language development and inquiry. Games like tag teach children rules and consequences. Any kind of imaginative play where children take up roles trains them for social skills in general.
Appreciation of Nature
Humans have evolved around nature. We are dependent on it. The sense of wonder and enjoyment nature provides is the same for adults as it is for children. Outdoor exposure helps children develop love and respect for nature. When they focus on tiny buds on growing plants and watch the ant march across the sand, it fills then with a sense of wonder, with modeling and guidance, children learn to appreciate nature. Hugging trees and watching the birds, they understand the beauty and building lasting connections.
"Movement through active free play, especially outside, improves everything from creativity to academic success to emotional stability. Ideally, kids should be playing outside for three hours each day, not including organized sports." – Angela Hanscom, a pediatric occupational therapist.
Children must play outside, every day, come rain or shine. It's recommended to play during all seasons. Children will allergies must spend time away from plants and trees that aggravate them, always wear Sun block in the sun. Connect with nature for a happier, healthier life.

The drug flecainide may change the way veterinarians treat atrial fibrillation in horses, according to veterinarians at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in Madison.
Large animal internal medicine veterinarians Ase Risberg and Sheila McQuirk administered the drug orally to resolve a chronic case of atrial fibrillation in a horse, the school reported.
Flecainide has been administered intravenously to horses in Japan and England, but Dr. Risberg believes this is the first time it has been administered orally or used in horses in the United States.

Practical tips for quick weight loss and free diet tips. Weight loss guidance and support for healthy diet. The sound body tells beauty tips and fitness tips for a youthful look. Look years younger by following right diet and weight loss regimes. These articles contain hundreds of valuable tips and ideas about losing weight.
Loosing Weight is not an easy task. Many people trying to lose weight have been on numerous diets and have tried just about every "fad diet" that has been around.
1. Exercise and eat right
And regular exercise not only helps you slim down your whole body, it actually shrinks the size of fat cells in your stomach
2. Get down to your healthy weight
Losing that gut isn't easy, but you can improve your contours (and lower your risk of heart disease and cancer) by lowering your overall body mass index.
3. Don't be a stress case
Scientists are studying the link between stress and belly fat. Heightened cortisol levels in blood, resulting from stress, seem to react with the body's insulin to create visceral abdominal fat -- and, in a double whammy, to also drive us toward fatty, sugary foods. Reducing stress may make it easier to say no to barbecue chips or chocolate truffles that go straight to the waistline. Try yoga as a way of cutting stress
4. Stop boozing, quit smoking
Both smoking and alcohol raise the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your body. See Tactic #3 for a refresher on what that means for your gut
5. Hire a personal trainer
Embarking on a fitness regime is more likely to be successful if you invest in some one-on-one workouts with a personal trainer.
6. Skip the Thai, meet for sushi instead
A recent Japanese study found that fucoxanthin, a compound in brown seaweed, shrank abdominal fat in lab animals, and encouraged a five to 10 per cent weight loss. Human studies are next, but the scientists are excited.
7. Avoid trans fats like the plague
A recent study found that not only do trans fats create excess visceral fat in the abdomen, they actually cause fat from other parts of the body to redistribute there.
8. Don't believe late-night infomercials
American Council on Exercise (ACE) found that expensive ab-targeting home-exercise equipment is no better than (and in some cases, is worse than) old-fashioned exercises.
