As his twenty-sixth birthday approaches, Desta Joy Walker finds himself in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the one place he's been actively avoiding most of his life. For Desta, the East African capital encompasses some of the happiest and saddest parts of his life—his first home and the place where his father died. When an unavoidable work obligation lands him there for twelve weeks, he may finally have a chance for the closure he so desperately needs. What Desta never expected was to catch a glimpse of his future as he reconnects with the beautiful country and his family's past.
Elias Fikru has never met an opportunity he hasn't seized. Except, of course, for the life-changing one, he's stubbornly ignored for the past nine months. He'd be a fool not to accept the chance to pursue his doctoral studies in the U.S., but saying yes means leaving his homeland, and Elias isn't ready to make that commitment.
Meeting Desta, the Dominican-American emergency relief worker with the easy smile and sad eyes, makes Elias want things he's never envisioned for himself. Rediscovering his country through Desta's eyes emboldens Elias to reach for a future where he can be open about every part of himself. But when something threatens the future that's within their grasp, Elias and Desta must put it all on the line for love.
Take one heartbroken Chicago girl
Literary editor Antonia Harper had it all—the career, the man, the future. That was then. Now Antonia is jobless, alone and at a crossroads. What better time to travel the world? A solo honeymoon on the Emerald Isle will be like hitting the reset button. No distractions, no drama.
Add some luck o' the Irish
Aiden Byrnes may be a literature professor, but words fail him when he meets the woman staying in the cottage next door. Tully Cross is meant to be a sleepy little village, and he's meant to be on a working holiday—not a vacation, and most definitely not with his beautiful neighbor.
And you get some mighty good craic
They say laughter is the best medicine—and as it turns out, superhot sex isn't so bad either. Antonia and Aiden's spark quickly grows into what could be something special, if they're willing to take the leap. Ending up an ocean apart is unthinkable, and when real life comes calling, there's no ignoring that leap anymore…

Blocking a single tiny blood vessel in the brain can harm neural tissue and even alter behavior, a new study from the University of California, San Diego has shown. But these consequences can be mitigated by a drug already in use, suggesting treatment that could slow the progress of dementia associated with cumulative damage to miniscule blood vessels that feed brain cells.
The team reports their results in the Dec. 16 advance online edition of Nature Neuroscience.
"The brain is incredibly dense with vasculature. It was surprising that blocking one small vessel could have a discernible impact on the behavior of a rat," said Andy Y. Shih, lead author of the paper who completed this work as a postdoctoral fellow in physics at UC San Diego. Shih is now an assistant professor at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Working with rats, Shih and colleagues used laser light to clot blood at precise points within small blood vessels that dive from the surface of the brain to penetrate neural tissue. When they looked at the brains up to a week later, they saw tiny holes reminiscent of the widespread damage often seen when the brains of patients with dementia are examined as a part of an autopsy.
These micro-lesions are too small to be detected with conventional MRI scans, which have a resolution of about a millimeter. Nearly two dozen of these small vessels enter the brain from a square millimeter area of the surface of the brain.
"It's controversial whether that sort of damage has consequences, although the tide of evidence has been growing as human diagnostics improve," said David Kleinfeld, professor of physics and neurobiology, who leads the research group.
To see whether such minute damage could change behavior, the scientists trained thirsty rats to leap from one platform to another in the dark to get water.
The rats readily jump if they can reach the second platform with a paw or their snout, or stretch farther to touch it with their whiskers. Many rats can be trained to rely on a single whisker if the others are clipped, but if they can't feel the far platform, they won't budge.
"The whiskers line up in rows and each one is linked to a specific spot in the brain," Shih said. "By training them to use just one whisker, we were able to distill a behavior down to a very small part of the brain."
When Shih blocked single microvessels feeding a column of brain cells that respond to signals from the remaining whisker, the rats still crossed to the far platform when the gap was small. But when it widened beyond the reach of their snouts, they quit.
The FDA-approved drug memantine, prescribed to slow one aspect of memory decline associated with Alzheimer's disease, ameliorated these effects. Rats that received the drug jumped whisker-wide gaps, and their brains showed fewer signs of damage.
"This data shows us, for the first time, that even a tiny stroke can lead to disability," said Patrick D. Lyden, a co-author of the study and chair of the department of neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. "I am afraid that tiny strokes in our patients contribute — over the long term — to illness such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease," he said, adding that "better tools will be required to tell whether human patients suffer memory effects from the smallest strokes."
"We used powerful tools from biological physics, many developed in Kleinfeld's laboratory at UC San Diego, to link stroke to dementia on the unprecedented small scale of single vessels and cells," Shih said. "At my new position at MUSC, I plan to work on ways to improve the detection of micro-lesions in human patients with MRI. This way clinicians may be able to diagnose and treat dementia earlier."

I would like to ask you for a help in understanding the way in which OpenData API of the SCIHUB works.
Let me shortly describe the problem we discovered.
In our project we are developing an automatic metadata + data download from the OpenData API where we have a subtask to download the quicklooks for the Sentinel-2 products.
Our application fully relies on the API responses received from the OData API for individual Nodes as files (e.g. manifest.xml), subfolders (e.g. GRANULE, QI_DATA, etc.).
However, when we try to fetch the download URLs for the quicklooks from the QI_DATA Node API response as in this example (attached API response in JSON encoding):
We get no metadata values for *_PVI,jp2 quicklook file and thus our app does not download it.
However, when we download the whole product, the file is present in QI_DATA folder.
Is this an expected behavior of OpenData API? Shouldn't it be listing all the nodes present under a parent node?
We also spotted that apart of quicklook JP2 file there are missing also MSK_TECQUA_BXX.gml files in the API response.
Many thanks for any feedback on this,
Tomas Kliment

The Cribs: Wakefield brothers talk depression, rebirth and America

"I FOUND A GUY who was a fan of the band who ran a hotel in Ipswich," the Cribs' Ryan Jarman remembers of his living arrangements three years ago, "and he gave me the key to one of the rooms, so I'd just go back there sometimes. That was a low point. But I had nowhere else to go."

Goldman Sachs Says Curing Diseases Is Bad Business For Pharma
Goldman Sachs analysts are confirming what many people long believed to be a conspiracy theory. The analysts say that biotech companies are not incentivized to cure illnesses. In other words, the phrase 'there is no money in the cure' is being taken at face value.
The analysts published their findings in a report titled, "The Genome Revolution." In the report, analysts look to determine whether or not curing patients is a sustainable business model.
In short, the answer is no, it is not sustainable.
"The potential to deliver 'one shot cures' is one of the most attractive aspects of gene therapy, genetically-engineered cell therapy and gene editing. However, such treatments offer a very different outlook with regard to recurring revenue versus chronic therapies," analyst Salveen Richter noted in the report. "While this proposition carries tremendous value for patients and society, it could represent a challenge for genome medicine developers looking for sustained cash flow."
Richter used hepatitis C treatments for his example of curing gone wrong. Hep C treatments are 90% effective in terms of complete cure. But the Hep C business model is unsustainable. In 2015, Gilead Sciences, the maker of Hep C treatments, reported sales of $12.5 billion related to the medications. This year, Gilead Sciences will report in the $3 billion range. That's a drastic financial decline and the price the biotech company pays for curing an illness completely.
"GILD is a case in point, where the success of its hepatitis C franchise has gradually exhausted the available pool of treatable patients," the analyst wrote. "In the case of infectious diseases such as hepatitis C, curing existing patients also decreases the number of carriers able to transmit the virus to new patients, thus the incident pool also declines … Where an incident pool remains stable (eg, in cancer) the potential for a cure poses less risk to the sustainability of a franchise."
People have long suggested that pharmaceutical companies intentionally avoid eradicating illnesses for fear of lowered profits. Unless the cure can be tied to ongoing treatments, the pharmaceutical company loses financial incentives, many people have suggested. Others have pointed to vaccines as a counter-argument, although vaccines often require booster shots.
The Goldman Sachs report is certain to increase speculation that pharmaceutical companies knowingly and strategically avoid cures.
The report suggests three potential solutions.
"Solution 1: Address large markets: Hemophilia is a $9-10bn WW market (hemophilia A, B), growing at ~6-7% annually."
"Solution 2: Address disorders with high incidence: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) affects the cells (neurons) in the spinal cord, impacting the ability to walk, eat, or breathe."
"Solution 3: Constant innovation and portfolio expansion: There are hundreds of inherited retinal diseases (genetics forms of blindness) … Pace of innovation will also play a role as future programs can offset the declining revenue trajectory of prior assets."

A new notification system launched by Facebook is aimed at protecting user accounts, says Alex Stamos, the company's chief security officer.
If the social network giant thinks an account has been targeted by state-sponsored hackers, they will now let users know about it by sending a notification message.
Malicious activity
With online security now a major concern for internet users, companies of all types have had to address the issue of customer confidence and make sure that they respond to worries.
Facebook say that account security is "paramount" and that constant monitoring for "potentially malicious activity" takes place.
Now, any user the network thinks is being targeted or has been compromised by anyone working for a nation state will be notified.
The announcement was made in a blog post by Alex Stamos, who wrote: "While we have always taken steps to secure accounts that we believe to have been compromised, we decided to show this additional warning if we have a strong suspicion that an attack could be government-sponsored."
The post went on to explain that anyone receiving a notification shouldn't automatically assume that the Facebook's platform itself has been compromised. The problem could lie in the device or devices that the account holder uses to connect to the account in question, possibly caused by a malware infection.
"Ideally, people who see this message should take care to rebuild or replace these systems if possible," Stamos explained.
The company also pointed out that it will not reveal the process involved in discovering attacks as it wants to protect the methods so that hackers can't circumvent them.
The move by Facebook comes in response to continued public disquiet following a wave of revelations surrounding spy agencies snooping on people's social media profiles.
"That said, we plan to use this warning only in situations where the evidence strongly supports our conclusion," Stamos wrote in the post. "We hope that these warnings will assist those people in need of protection, and we will continue to improve our ability to prevent and detect attacks of all kinds against people on Facebook."

As I make my way down to the boardwalk, the susurrus of wind rustling the dried leaves still on the oaks and, especially, the ironwoods surrounds me with an aural reminder that winter now has us firmly in its grasp. A stiff breeze chills me whenever I'm out of the lee of the forest or tall marsh plants. Amazingly, the sun is quite hot when it's out.
Just a few birds around, the usual Downies and Nuthatches. So I turn my attention to the riot of mammal tracks around the bases of the trees and on the firm snowpack. We can learn much about their doings by observing them. As the Professor writes: "Every farm is a textbook of animal ecology; woodsmanship is the translation of the book."
A Deer Mouse has bounded over the snow, dragging its tail behind it. Perhaps it was being chased. Mice do walk but when they need to move, they hop like rabbits, two front feet, then two hind feet landing in the same impression.
A squirrel had a rather leisurely meal of Red Oak acorns perched on the bare, sunny edge of the boardwalk. This midden indicates his alfresco dinner had to be planned, as there aren't any acorns in the marsh, of course; they had to be brought here to be consumed.
Another lunch site. An ermine, called this when it's white in the winter, caught a deer mouse, whose tail markings can be seen at the scene. (I feel a bit shortsighted in that I'm not providing a measuring tape alongside the tracks, because my readers can't see how big they are, nor how far apart each set of tracks is, indicating the size of the animal that made them.)
The boardwalk becomes a thoroughfare above the snow. Here, an opossum has clambered along the edge. Note how its forefeet look like little hands. Opossums climb well with their opposable thumbs.
An Ironwood catches my attention. This is not the familiar pattern at all – they nearly always grow singly. What made this one send up several trunks from the same root system? Long winter nights are a good time to ponder such questions.

Gallery Neher, Essen
Today we have selected three paper works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Christian Modersohn and Siegward Sprotte to delight you. On display are beautiful landscapes.
Sprotte's painting's are figurative and abstract, the landscape remains recognizable and yet it is generalized and abstracted to the extent that it can be grasped and experienced as a general phenomenon of nature.
The "Island in the mudflats" illustrates this phenomenon especially in the juxtaposition of different shades of green and brown. It becomes obvious, that the artist does not intend the mere representation of meadow and earth – no specific island is meant here. Sprotte is interested in capturing the spirit, the energy, the structure of the natural landscape. The painter himself describes this goal in one of his aphorisms: "In his lost confessions to landscape painting Albrecht Dürer emphasizes that even a cloud, a tree or a rock is 'full of figure' for him. Dürer overcame even then the arbitrary distinction between figurative and non-figurative approaches, which has made art history in our century".
This landscape, which was created as an improvisation in the studio, shows delicate shades of green and little brown against a high sky in the mudflats. These studio works in particular make it clear that Sprotte does not want to reproduce nature. Rather, through intensive studies and observations in nature, he came to the realization of inner connections and immanent structures of nature itself.

Last week St Michael's participated in the popular Readathon week with the simple objective of encouraging children and staff to read more. Readathon 2019 is all about giving children the opportunity and space to develop their own love of reading. At St Michael's we understand the importance of reading, from hard copy books, rather than solely via devices. Research has suggested that children who spend time reading from a book rather than a tablet have a higher level of literacy and continue to read into adulthood, compared to those that don't. This blog post aims to outline how we encourage reading at St Michael's, beyond the above initiatives, and develop the reading habits of children throughout the school.
In the Nursery and Pre-Prep Department children take part in many varied activities to celebrate their love of reading including choosing a character to dress up as from a favourite book whilst sharing this text and their favourite characters/parts with their peers during a Big Book Breakfast. Each child in the Pre-Prep Department reads an appropriately levelled book several times a week. Members of staff across the whole school and the parent body are invited to share their love of reading with the children, sharing their own childhood stories and visiting authors are often invited to talk to the children about their creations. Year 2 enjoy an annual visit to the library itself and the Reception children are given books from the Time to Read Books campaign run each year.
In the Junior Department, children are heard to read at least once a week, either in groups or individually with some pupils being heard to read daily as required. Each pupil has a reading book that they are expected to read with their parents, discussing the text as part of the nightly reading. They are encouraged to try different types of library books from both the fiction and non-fiction sections of the library and the library of books in their resource rooms. The Weekly News magazine is delivered to the school, and the children enjoy keeping up to date with this and other magazines such as the National Geographic for Kids.
For World Book Day (UK) the children in the Junior Department pupils are encouraged to share storytelling with their class, year group and department with a Story Telling Competition. This encourages the children to really engage with the book and helps their confidence in performing to others. Further initiatives enjoyed include Reading Bingo, and extreme reading, where the pupils are asked to find extreme places to read their books at home.
During English lessons, senior pupils all have at least one reading lesson each week where they are reading and discussing a class reader – so all pupils read and study at least three books thoroughly every year in class. All novels studied open up opportunities for extended learning covering many subject areas such as Science, History, English, RS and Geography. We also encourage and present book reviews, both written and oral and there is always support in choosing a new book, if a child needs it.
Pupils know that books will be ordered in for them if we do not have what they want and they can make recommendations to the librarian, which will then be purchased. The library stock is constantly updated and replenished, and a sizeable quantity of books are purchased every year. This ensures that our pupils have access to a vast array of literature, ranging from pre-19th-century classics to the most recently released books.
Furthermore, all senior pupils are required to have a library book with them at all school at all times. This policy aims to encourage reading at opportune times including wet breaks and available prep time.
Books are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure they are appropriate for the age and reading age of the children as well as interesting to choose. Children also have the opportunity to contribute to their class libraries through our initiative of the 'Birthday Book' where children bring a book to school for their parent or carer to read and share with their class. From a young age, storytelling and reading with children is incredibly important. It allows the child to develop language skills, build their vocabulary, exercising your children's brain and introducing them to foreign cultures, learning styles and topics.
Children are exposed to a vast amount of literature whilst at St Michael's. The reading levels and interests of pupils here is fantastic and often very advanced. Reading is an integral part of life at school and that will always be the case. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with our office to arrange a meeting with me or a relevant teacher.

Diet and exercise can help you feel your best, but what can you do when they don't help you look your best? Despite all the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, sometimes our body shape can't be changed with workouts or diets. If you are frustrated by areas of fat that won't budge, liposuction may be the solution you're looking for. Little Rock Liposuction Specialist Dr. Melanie Prince can remove excess fat and provide expert body contouring to help you look as good as you feel.
Understanding What Liposuction Can and Can't Do
There is a sneaky myth that liposuction is a quick and easy weight loss fix, but that is not the case! Liposuction is a surgical procedure with many benefits, but it is not a treatment for obesity. The best candidates are at a stable, healthy weight, but have areas of fat that don't respond to diet or exercise. If you struggle with weight loss or are prone to yo-yo dieting, then lipo may not be right for you. If you have loose skin from pregnancy or weight loss, then a tummy tuck may be a better choice for you. Dr. Prince also specializes in mommy makeovers, which are customized to combine treatments including liposuction, tummy tuck, breast procedures, and more.
Areas that can be treated with liposuction:
- Abdomen
- Waist
- Arms
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Hips
- Bra Line
- Back
- Chin
- "Love Handles"
How Does Liposuction Work?
The first step is to schedule a consultation appointment at our Little Rock office. During your consultation, Dr. Prince will discuss your health and medical history and listen to your concerns and aesthetic goals in order to determine if you are a candidate for liposuction. She will also answer any questions you have and make sure that you are comfortable with your proposed treatment plan.
You will receive general anesthesia for your liposuction procedure. Dr. Prince will begin by making several very small incisions around your target areas. She will then insert a cannula, which is a thin, hollow tube, to remove excess fat. Dr. Prince uses power-assisted liposuction (PAL), which is an advanced method that breaks up fatty tissue and ensures that she is able to remove the desired amount of fat with precise contouring. If you are undergoing a fat transfer procedure, such as brazilian butt lift or fat transfer to breasts, your fat will be specially treated before being injected into the transfer site.
Dr. Prince and her staff – Kelsey and KeLee specifically – are the absolute best. Great office- they've got scheduled appointments down to a science and everyone is incredibly responsive for both pre and post surgical care. Dr. Prince is an outstanding surgeon!Robin
Liposuction Recovery
Your liposuction recovery can vary depending on the size and location of the areas you had treated. You can expect to experience some pain, discomfort, and bruising in the days after the procedure. You will need to wear a special compression garment for up to six weeks after treatment, which will minimize swelling and allow your skin to heal. Dr. Prince will give you detailed post-op guidelines, which will include 3 to 4 weeks of activity restriction. It is important to follow all instructions for optimal healing and results.
Liposuction Results
Dr. Prince will customize your liposuction treatment to deliver beautiful results that meet your goals. It can take several weeks for swelling to subside, at which point you will be able to notice a significant difference, but it can take several months until you are fully healed and can appreciate the complete effect of your results.
Why Choose Dr. Prince for Liposuction in Little Rock?
Patients feel comfortable with Dr. Prince because of her warm, open personality and they trust her because of her extensive experience and proven surgical skills. She will take the time to understand your goals and she will use advanced techniques and an artistic sensibility to deliver superior results. Dr. Prince is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a distinction that demonstrates her specialized training and her commitment to upholding the highest standards of patient safety.
Will the fat that is removed during liposuction come back?
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells and if you maintain a healthy lifestyle and a steady weight, your results will be permanent. Patients who have small fluctuations in weight after liposuction generally find that they maintain good proportions because of the body contouring provided by liposuction.
Can I get liposuction in multiple areas?
Yes, many patients choose to get multiple areas treated at once.
What are the risks of liposuction?
All surgical procedures carry some risk of side effects or complications. Risks of liposuction include fluid accumulation, change in sensation, contour irregularities, and infection.1 Dr. Prince is focused on your safety and will explain all possible risks during your consultation appointment.
Will I have scars from liposuction?
The incisions made for liposuction are very small (approximately 3mm) and Dr. Prince will place them strategically to be easily hidden. Patients have compared the size of the scars to bug bites.
Do men get liposuction?
Yes! Almost 30,000 American men got liposuction last year, making it the 3rd most popular cosmetic surgery among males.2 Liposuction on the chest, stomach, or love handles can help men achieve a leaner, more chiseled physique.
Am I a good candidate for liposuction?
If you would like to eliminate bulges or specific areas of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise, then liposuction may be right for you. Good candidates are adults who are in general good health and at a stable, healthy weight with good skin elasticity.

In Playwright Steven Dietz "Bloomsday", currently in a charming and reflective production at North Coast Repertory Theatre though Feb. 2nd, Robert (Martin Kildare), a handsome and rather distinguished fifty something year old former professor tells the audience 'that "Ulysses" is the most under-read and over praised piece of doggerel ever hemorrhaged onto the world! Don't take my word for it. Ask half the critics and every college sophomore on earth.'
Thank goodness I don't recall reading it from top to bottom and if I did, that memory is no longer available to me. And that's not to be confused with -of course I must have read it in my college days struggling through Greek Mythology. Let's face it folks, that was over fifty years ago and today I'm happy remembering going to college.
|Martin Kildare, Rachel Weck, Hunter Saling
Playwright Dietz last entered the scene at North Coast Rep's with this theatre's San Diego premiere of "This Random World" where it made an impact on audiences when we learned our leading lady, Scottie was dead, yet we can see her spirit living on in a series of short vignettes where she brings each of the surviving characters in her life closer to one another.
"This Random World" might be Beshert, or serendipity.
"Bloomsday", now in a regional premiere, might fit into the world of 'what was, what is, and what might have been'. Some might see it as a time travel story. (I'm fascinated with that whole concept.) Some might look at it as missed opportunities, others capricious and predictable. I'm satisfied with charming, excellently acted, with direction by seasoned and keen director Andrew Barnicle, intriguing, absorbing and left with a feeling that I could see it again.
Bloomsday, June 16, is when Dubliner's celebrate… a single day in the life of three residents of Dublin: a young writer named Stephen Dedalus; his friend Leopold Bloom and Blooms wife, Molly… and includes Leopold's walk through Dublin." It has become a tradition in Dublin and elsewhere to retrace protagonist Bloom's pilgrimage for those so inclined.
Back to Robert who, after twenty -five years of teaching Ulysses and thirty five years after meeting Caithleen, has returned to Dublin on Bloomsday. This time around he recalls a time when he was a mere pup, then known as Robbie (Hunter Saling) and in his twenties and of one who knew nothing of Ulysses or Joyce.
|Rachel Weck, Jacquelyn Ritz and Martin Kildare
Here and over the course of the play he remembers the circumstances when he happened on a tour lead by a beautiful young colleen, Caithleen (Rachel Weck). On that day, June 16, to be exact, superstitious Caithleen invited him to join the tour, "James Joyce's Dublin", so there wouldn't be thirteen in the group. He made up the fourteenth. By now he was almost smitten as was she.
And here's where we take off and head down the roads taken and not, to another time when the older Robert meets up with his younger self and Caithleen's or Cait's older self (Jacquelyn Ritz). What comes into play, in bits and pieces, are unknown revelations about her future, that might have been predictable had we seen it happen over the years, that proved to be right.
As narrator of his own story the focus on the four moves back and forth in time. Robert becomes the know all, tell all master of all that he remembers as having happened, what's left behind and possibly what could have been.
Dietz's idea of giving truth (or not) to a story as old as time where love is in bloom but goes unfulfilled and where love is found but through unpredictable circumstances is lost and faded memories can only recall what should have, could have, would have been, is enhanced by the first-rate ensemble work of the four actors on stage.
Sun tanned and appealing Martin Kildare won me over from the start. His relaxed, engaging and easy delivery and ability to know the future but unable to change it, convinced.
As his younger self, Hunter Saling's Robbie is the perfect choice; one with indifference to what might be ahead, the happy go lucky come what may attitude or 'whatever' brought a credibility to his character.
The two women Rachel Weck in perfect Irish accent, at least to my ears, again the exact right choice (a newcomer to NCR) to the serious, concerned about her future well being as Caithleen again won me over with her easy and persuasive style.
|Martin Kildare and Jacquelyn Ritz
Jacquelyn Ritz, no stranger to NCR serves up some beautiful and wistfulness and wish-fullness of the fate of her character.
What was present to yours truly was the overall feeling of sadness and yearning at stories end, especially for Robert, by wanting another ending yet knowing full well that life gets in the way even as we watch it happen, of some otherwise happy endings.
Marty Burnett designed the brick buildings with ivy- covering each wall. Benches and tables with chairs wheeled in serve as meeting places and different locations, alleyways etc. They are enhanced by Matt Novotny's lighting and Aaron Rumley's sound and projections designs. Renetta Lloyd's clothes are indicative of the moving time frames.
|Hunter Saling, Jacquelyn Ritx Martin Kildare and Rachel Weck
And on another note in the Playbill: "Bloomsday" is an annual pseudo-intellectual excuse to get hammered in the daytime".

Greg Abbott OKs Removal of Confederate Plaque From State CapitolPROGRESSOlivia MesserReporterPublished Jan. 11, 2019 2:29PM ET REUTERS/Lucas JacksonTexas Gov. Greg Abbott has finally agreed to remove a plaque that reportedly rejects slavery as the underlying cause of the Civil War from the state Capitol. The 60-year-old monument has been the source of debate for years, as Republican leaders have resisted removing it. Abbott's decision marked a change during the first week of the state's legislative session, following a unanimous vote by the State Preservation Board. The governor is chairman of that board. Even still, the plaque is just one of about a dozen Confederate plaques and monuments on the grounds of the Texas Capitol. Read it at AP

1-Man's Opinion on Sports–Wednesday "Baseball-So Where Are We Really?"
"Baseball-So Where Are We?"
These are truly the dog days of summer in baseball.
July grinds into August and spills into September, for cities and teams already out of the playoffs.
The Dodgers have pulled themselves up by the bootstraps, and have put themselves into the wildcard playoff race, with still plenty of time to chase down first place in the NL-West.
That is amazing when you consider, the top five starting pitchers have all been on the disabled list, some multiple times. And they lost their key guys in the infield, 2nd-SS-3B for extended periods of time with injuries.
Who could have forecast rookie Max Muncy would hit 20-home runs, Joc Pederson would find his hitting stroke again, and Yasiel Puig would go thru the first half of the season without any discipline issues.
So LA fans have something to look forward too, even if 60-percent of the fans still cannot see their games on TV in the LA market.
Down the 405, it has been one injury after another to the Angels, who are staggering in a very tough AL-West, the division owed by the Houston Astros.
No one cold forecast the Seattle Mariners would have this type of season, putting themselves in the wildcard race, and the very young Oakland A's would be so competitive.
Mike Trout is a superstar by himself, but seems to be wasting away another year, on a team that isn't hitting, and has more hurt pitchers than healthy arms.
When you pay 46-million this season and see a combined (.245) batting average from Justin Upton-Albert Pujols. 4-other starters in the lineup are hitting (.215) or worse.
And to compound it, the pitching staff is ailing again. Garrett Richards cannot do it by himself, and 3-other starters on the disabled list, won't be coming back this season.
Another lost year under the Arte Moreno-Mike Scoscia banner.
In San Diego, send the Padres mail in care of last place baseball.
You see flashes of specialness from the kid pitchers Joey Luchessi and Eric Lauer. They have a quality bullpen that is now borderline burned out. It's been a lost season for starters Luis Perdomo and Danilson Lamet.
Journeyman starters Clayton Richard and Tyson Ross sometimes don't get out of the 5th inning, other times do well without run support, and lose.
There's no one to protect first baseman Eric Hosmer in the batting order.
There is more streak hitting that trust-worthy hitting from Will Myers, Hunter Renfroe, Manny Margot.
The rest of the batting order shows little consistency. So all Padres fans can do is wait and hope more quality kids are coming from a blossoming minor league farm system.
But what is there to guarantee that the next young bat will be any more consistent than the other young bats, who struggle on Monday-Wednesday-Friday.
A low batting average, and a likely record setting strikeout mark, with few home run threats in the lineup. Doesn't sound like a playoff contender.of a franchise anytime in the near future.
Hot-humid summer weather, and the dogs days of the baseball season. Another summer in Southern California.

The Federal Government has rejected the 21-day ultimatum given to it by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) saying it is in direct collision with the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed on August 21.
The government reaction follows the NMA's support for the striking resident doctors and the threat to join the ongoing industrial action embarked upon by these doctors if the federal government does not resolve all the issues contained in the various agreements signed by affiliate unions.
The federal government's position was made known on Sunday evening by the Ministry of Labour and Employment through a statement titled, 'Labour Ministry to NMA: Your 21-Day Ultimatum in Collision with Our MoU,' in which it argued that the NMA's position was at variance with the timeline stated in the Memorandum of Agreement.
The ministry's Spokesperson, Charles Akpan, said the Federal Government is religiously implementing its own side of the agreement, with effective monitoring by the office of the Minister of Labour and Employment adding that the NMA was yet to move a needle on the roles assigned to it in the agreement.
What the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment is saying
The statement from the Labour Ministry reads, "First is that the NMA communique in Benin which issued a 21-day ultimatum is at variance with the timeline in article II, Vii, Vii, and X of the MOA.
"Importantly, article II on payment of the outstanding hazard allowance from the 2020 Medical Residency Training Fund states that the fund will be paid after verification and reconciliation of figures from the BOF. Till now, Both NARD/ Postgraduate Medical College are yet to submit the validated application for the eligible doctors missed out in 2020 to enable this payment.
"Article Vii on withdrawal of the circular from the Office of the Head of Service removing House and NYSC Doctors from the scheme of service says 'the NMA should submit her position immediately to the FMOH PS for onward transmission to the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation with a view to processing and issuance of clarification circular within two months.' The NMA is yet to comply with this."
Akpan further pointed out that the technical committee set up in article Vii to tackle the backlog of arrears on Government Integrated Financial Management Information System was given 4 weeks effective Monday, August 31, 2021, to round off its assignments, querying if this wasn't a collision with the 21-day ultimatum.
News continues after this ad
He added, "Also, article X of the MoU also states that the Nigerian Medical Association should facilitate the withdrawal of suits by Medical and Dental Doctors in Academics against the National Salaries Income and Wages Commission and the Accountant- General of the Federation to ensure the amicable resolution of the issues. The NMA is yet to do this, yet issuing a fresh ultimatum.
"It is, therefore, clear that the 21-day ultimatum will neither assist the NMA discharge the role assigned to it in the MoU nor facilitate the faithful implementation of the timeline which the federal government has given every attention."
The government admonished the NMA to play its role as the guardian of its affiliate associations instead of descending into the arena for needless fear of impeachment adding that it has by the communique issued in Benin abdicated the main role assigned to it in the August 21 MoU.
What you should know
- It can be recalled that on August 1, 2021, the resident doctors commenced a nationwide industrial action over the failure of the federal government to honour and implement the memorandum of understanding (MOU) that it signed with them some months back.
- Despite a series of meetings between the Federal Government and the striking doctors, no resolution has been reached.
- The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, had in the wake of the disagreement taken the resident doctors to the industrial court for the resolution of the dispute and threatened to invoke the "no-work, no pay" rule on NARD.
- The industrial court had a few days ago, ordered the striking resident doctors to resume work pending the determination of the case brought by the federal government.
- The 21-day ultimatum given by NMA was part of the resolutions reached during its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, held in Benin City last week.
- It said that it will summon an emergency delegate meeting if the Federal Government fails to implement the agreements after the expiration of the 21- day notice.

When the Artifex crew—most of them surfers—chose a location for the brewery, they settled for two miles from the ocean in San Clemente. The inspiration paid off. News of these IPA-heavy producers has traveled fast. Their beers are hoppy, and the tasting room is the size of a Twister mat, with just enough room to order a beer, spin the dial, put your left foot on red and your right hand on a Rye-Diculous IPA. I asked brewer Johur over a game of Jenga …
How did you get your start?
As bar manager for Pizza Port in Solana Beach in 2009. I was fortunate enough to also become the assistant brewer and learn on such a historic and award-winning system. The Pizza Port breweries have produced award-winning beers created by award-winning brewers for years, so I feel like I got my start at the right spot.
How did you land on the name Artifex?
This was one of the hardest parts of starting a company. Ultimately we chose it for its meaning. It's a Latin word for an artisan or craftsman; someone who carries out work that requires a certain specialty or skill. We felt that this described us as a company and as brewers.
Favorite pizza at Pizza Port?
Thin crust, lightly sauced Carlsbad pizza. I love pesto and artichoke hearts.
Do any San Diego beer travelers come up this way?
We definitely see them in our tasting room. A lot of them visit because they've had our beer at different bars and restaurants down south. Some come up because of recommendations from other breweries.
Describe the San Clemente food and beer scene.
Left Coast Brewing and Pizza Port put it on the map early. The food scene is great, too, with MRK Public (look for new table seating) and Barnoa serving killer food.

We are so immersed with technology; that often we take it for granted.
Take for example your smart phone, this device has replaced your calendar, watch, daily planner, alarm, portable music player and even your computer and what makes it so attractive is that it is at your fingertips. We have smart computers, internet and even satellite cable, we are all dependent of these luxuries.
But wait, think for a moment. Imagine if one day, we lost all of the privileges of using your phone or computer to send a text, to use Facebook or even to call someone. How would we connect then? One would say that would never happen! Oh but alas, it has and it happened much more recently than you think.
Remember Hurricane Katrina ?? During this crisis,
thousands of people were completely left without a means to communicate. Network communications tower sites were destroyed and network traffic overwhelmed the system that it was shut down! Power failure cut off the internet . During Hurricane Katrina, ham radios connected 200+ shelters and behind these were
a great number of 700 amateur radio operators. At this point, Amateur Radio became the only means of communication and it is because of this hobby, it became an essential tool to emergency services. It allowed for the proper coordination of necessary aid and supplies to where it was needed the most. The most beautiful part… It has no cost to the taxpayers.
Here is something to reflect on.
"At some point, our standard means of communications – cellphone, landline and Internet- will likely fail. When events like these, volunteer Ham Operators give themselves to save lives and property." – Bryce Anderson, member of the Los Angeles-based Topanga Disaster Radio Team (DRT)
If all of the above happened to a First World country, what makes you think that it cannot happen to Belize? Albeit we are a developing country, we are more prone to these situations, hence the importance to introduce Ham Radios to our youth, to our communities and to our districts!
So where is "Amateur Radio" going?
"Ham radio has worked in emergencies where nothing else gets through. It's been a critical part of emergency response when cellphones are overloaded or the infrastructure damaged,"
"It's also helping build basic skills — skills that are no longer taught in school — improving not only our ability to communicate in disasters, but adding back some of the 'lost tools' that Americans used to be famous for — the ability to do things ourselves," -Norm (K6YXH) Goodkin, MS, MBA, PMP
When all else fails….Amateur Radio works.

Judge Amy Coney Barrett is impressive. She is intelligent, articulate, confident and poised, and performed well in her public testimony over several days of lengthy proceedings last week before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. Barrett has served as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit for the past three years. She has outstanding credentials, and is President Donald Trump's nominee to fill the U.S. Supreme Court seat held by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Her nomination, hearing and anticipated Senate vote have been rushed by the administration and its Republican allies in an effort to seat Trump's third Supreme Court pick before next month's election.
In an unusual year marked by the chaos of the coronavirus and the heightened political posturing prompted by the impending national election, the Barrett nomination process stands out as a naked power move by politicians in a position to effect their will. And they have every right to do so.
But it was the political reality of the Barrett hearings, and the opposition's recognition that Republicans have the votes to elevate Barrett, that resulted in actual "questioning" at the hearing to be very limited. Instead, most of the time was spent by senators (on both sides) making speeches and pandering to their base, only asking questions designed to underline a particular political point. Not surprisingly, Barrett refused to take the bait. She was disciplined in her responses, yet polite and unemotional in the face of repeated challenges and attempted provocation.
There's a lot at stake. As another staunchly conservative justice on the Court, Barrett could pull decisions away from the 5-4 seesaw of recent decades and set it firmly on the conservative side. Democrats fear that could spell the end of the Affordable Care Act and return abortion rights to the whim of state government, where they were half a century ago.
Politics aside, there were revelatory moments during the hearings. On the second day, Barrett spent hours testifying — citing cases, and quoting from them — without using notes. Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas mentioned a small notepad Barrett had in front of her, and said: "You know, most of us have multiple notebooks and notes and books and things like that in front of us. Can you hold up what you've been referring to in answering our questions?" In response, Barrett smiled and lifted up and displayed a blank notepad. "That's impressive," Cornyn said. And it was.
Barrett is not a product of Ivy League schools or the Eastern establishment. She is devoutly religious. She favors an originalist, textualist approach to statutory and constitutional interpretation. All of that makes liberals uncomfortable. But Barrett will almost certainly be confirmed as the next justice on the Supreme Court. She has the necessary qualifications, and displayed the proper temperament for the job. We wish her well, and hope that she will bring balance, care and compassion to her new position.

3 Best Soft Packers on the Market Right Now
Ethan is a transgender male actively involved in his local LGBTQ+ community. He writes informative articles on his personal experiences.
Introduction and Disclaimer
Welcome back to my blog, lovelies! Today we are going to be talking about a very important transgender issue called packing. I am just going to drop a little disclaimer up here so you know that we will be talking about a not necessarily safe for work topic directed towards those who are 18 years old and up! If you don't want to read about this transgender issue, please feel free to read another article as I don't want to trigger anyone!
What is a Packer?
A packer is something you put in your underwear to look like you have a bulge in your pants. Packers come in many sizes, different materials, and colors to match different skin-tones.
There are some that can be held in place with special glue, such as packers from Emisil, who provide special prosthetics such as STPs and regular soft packers, there are also companies like Gendercat who also provide special adhesive strips to use on packers.
They are used to fight bottom dysphoria for many transgender people, as well as help people pass as male when they go to use the male bathroom. Bathrooms can be dangerous for transgender individuals, and thus I imagine this is why packers were first invented. Alas, no one knows because there is little to no history on why we started packing or when we started packing!
...There is little to no history on why we started packing or when we started packing!
So, How do we Pack?
As I can't speak for all transgender individuals, I can only give you an insight into how I pack. I started using a sock. Unfortunately, I have big feet and socks so it was quite awkward at first, especially around my family. A lot of people start with socks and then graduate from there! I now use Mr. Limpy Small as my packer because they are cheap and are a good starter packer. A lot of people use the Xtra Small, but I haven't tried them yet!
To pack, you can stick a sock down your underwear and mold it into the appropriate bulge that you are comfortable with, or you can pack left or right, which means you can adjust it to the side. Same with soft packers. You can wear them any way comfortable for you. Some of us use packing underwear that have specially designed pouches to keep your packer secure and in the right position, and some people use them in their regular underwear because packing underwear can be expensive. I try to pack either down or to my right side. I also use RodeoH packing boxers when I go into town or in public because they keep me from dropping my packer on the bathroom floor.
uppercaseCHASE1 from Youtube has a great series on packing and packers, he is good to check out if you need a more in depth explanation on the subject and he also goes in depth on what it's like to be trans-masculine!
The Packer List
So now I've explained all of this, I bet you want to get down to business. These are my favorite packers, listed from first to least favorite, with a little bit of information on each of them and where you can find them.
Mr. Limpy - Small
Mr. Limpy Small is my favorite packer thus far in my experimentation with packers. I love how it feels, which is especially squishy and real, it seems to hold your body heat which is really nice. I also like the bulge it creates too in my packer underwear. I've heard that this packer can get sticky, but I haven't had that problem because I wash mine every day with anti-bacterial hand-soap, and then pat it down with some cornstarch.
- Cheapest packer at $12.00 on RodeoH and most other sites.
- 5 inch length makes the right bulge for me, weighing at 245lbs and standing 5'6 tall.
- Compatible with most packing underwear (except for Jockmail).
- Easy to keep clean if you clean it every day in the way the instructions tell you to on either the site or the package insert if you get one.
- Feels real through your boxers/pants.
- Great for a first-time packer or those who are relatively new to the experience.
- It's a little tougher than silicone to keep clean unless you are like me and live in a group home where there is no dishwasher. Surprisingly this has fit into my lifestyle with the home-care routine but it may not be the same for everyone.
- Sometimes can give you the look of having a party in your pants.
- Doesn't last as long as silicone, even if you take care of it right.
- It doesn't look as realistic as more expensive packers when examined.
- Reportedly can cause breakouts in people sensitive to mineral oil when worn against the skin.
Mr. Limpy Line Reviewed by Deven Youandi
Basic Model - 3" Classic Packer by ReelMagik
I love this packer. The only reason I am putting it second is because it can make an awkward bulge if it's not worn right. They just came out with a newer model that is softer than the original, and it feels and looks very realistic other than being harder than the other packers I've reviewed. You also have to be careful with it. For some reason I've had to replace this packer twice, and no I am not using an O ring or harness. It is really nice to look at and to touch though, which puts this packer as my second favorite packer.
- Soft Silicone, feels real in your underwear and pants.
- Easy to clean.
- Doesn't require powdering.
- Very realistic looking.
- One of the cheaper options at 39$
- A little harder than my Mr. Limpy, and a little awkward to position to me.
- Is pretty delicate and can tear easy.
Archer Silicone Soft Packer by NYTC
Archer Silicone Soft Packer by the New York Toy Collective is my second favorite. Archer is a circumcised soft packer that runs about 45-55$ each, depending on which site you go to buy from. They are very good, durable packers, but a little less realistic looking than the Mr. Limpy, so for those who want a more detailed packer, you should probably look for companies such as Reel Magik 3" Packer that runs at around 39$ on the Reel Magik site. Archer is easy to keep clean, however, and creates a realistic bulge.
- Total length 5.25" with all parts in tact, from the back base to the tip of the prosthetic.
- Easy to clean silicone.
- Feels realistic through underwear.
- Creates nice looking bulge.
- To me, it just doesn't look very realistic. I am not a fan of the aesthetic of this prosthetic. However, it gets the job done when I need it to or my Mr. Limpy needs a rest.
- Can occasionally give the look of a tent, it isn't quite as soft and squishy as my main packer.
- Pretty expensive for a first packer, as it runs around 45-55$ depending where you buy it.
Which Packer Should I Choose?
In the end, packing is a personal subject and a personal preference. It's best to experiment a little with different soft packers to see which ones you like and which ones you don't. The three I mentioned above are just my personal preferences, your preferences may be much different! I hope this article was somewhat informative and helped you in some way!

Stronger impetus for an internationalization policy in Flemish schools (09/29/2016)
An internationalization policy in schools enriches the learning processes of the students. They expand their horizons, they acquire competences in other learning settings. Internationalization is at the same time a powerful lever to strengthen the policy within the school: the team can professionalize by reflecting on its own practice, through innovative projects, through contacts with policy experiences from other schools and other educational systems. This makes internationalization a unique opportunity to grow as a school team and to work on quality in the school.
A school policy for internationalization should be integrated in the regular school policy, so that there is the transfer of project work to regular school policy is guaranteed.
Internationalization can be realized in various dimensions: the curriculum, powerful classroom learning environments through internationalization @ home, mobility of learners, teamwork and dialogue in school about quality and about the policy choices that the school makes. In order to be able to manage and balance these dimensions, the Vlor insists on the importance of a strong support structure.
International projects provide a lot of learning opportunities for schools to shape innovations. It would be a missed opportunity if these insights were not adequately communicated to the various policy makers. It is thus absolutely necessary to seek a structural anchoring of the insights from international projects to education policy, both at local and Flemish level.
