Richard Juan caught the attention of many netizens after he recreated a viral Instagram post of Park Seo-joon with his dog Simba and donned outfits inspired by Kim Soo-hyun's character in the hit K-Drama series It's Okay to Not Be Okay.
Richard shared a snapshot of what he dubbed as the #ParkSeoJoonChallenge on July 15, posing for the camera with his dog Riphie just like what Seo-joon did with his pet.
"Well, @bn_sj2013 (Park Seo-joon) got 4.1M in this IG post, I'm happy na with 4.1K hahahaha! BOYS, let's do the #ParkSeoJoonChallenge #PSJchallenge," Richard said on his Instagram.
The Instagram entry instantly amused many netizens, including celebrities.
"I can't life #pochola (his dog), she is 60 kilos," Nico Bolzico quipped.
"Let me do this, too!" Tim Yap commented.
Richard took on another "challenge" on Sunday, July 19, and recreated the look of Soo-hyun, who plays the character of Moon Gang-tae, in It's Okay to Not Be Okay.
"After #ParkSeoJoonChallenge, it's time for #MoonGangTaeChallenge," Richard posted on Instagram.
Fans and celebrities were quick to comment how Richard aced looking like the South Korean star.
"Richard, galing!" Katarina Rodriguez commented.
"Love it!" Lovi Poe said.

Richard is no stranger to the happenings in the Korean entertainment scene as he himself got to work with tvN in 2019.
Titled Create My Seoul, Richard had the chance to host the travel show with Korean stars Sandara Park and Joon Park last year.
This Korea work trip is definitely one for the books!It was an incredible privilege to work with two superstars, @godjp and @daraxxi! These two are literally the most genuine and humble artists that I've ever worked with! Thank you for also guiding me and also inspiring me. To my fellow castmates - @manttien @gonghivesalon24 and @yunyun_xyj - I had so much fun bonding with you guys througout the whole trip; will definitely be hitting you guys up when I visit your countries! And of course to the team behind the whole show (and all 20+ cameras haha), thank you for having me and thank you for the hardwork!!! Cant wait for this to come out!!! 🙏🙏🙏🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷 #CreateMySeoul #visitseoul #iseoulu
In a previous interview with PUSH, Richard shared how was it like working with the Korean celebrities.
"Joon Park was really a ball of energy. He kept everyone entertained and energized. It's that energy that he gives off that makes all of us bond naturally," he shared.
The actor-host added, "It's very important to be feeding off each other's energies when it comes to shoots like this. It's pretty amazing how at the end of our show, he was the one that asked for all our numbers because he wanted to create a Kakao talk group chat to keep in touch!"
Meanwhile, Richard described Sandara as "such a sweet girl."
He relayed, "From the start, we of course had an instant connection because of our Filipino background, and by the way, she still speaks good Tagalog! You really do not feel any awkwardness or wall during the whole shoot and they treated us as if we were one of them. She even asked for all our IGs and followed all of us!"

Intersections + Interpretations
Perspectives on Handmade and Fine Jewelry
Sunday, March 19th
West Elm Workspace | 105 Madison Avenue 14th Floor NYC
Refreshments will be served | RSVP required for entry
Join us as we chat with fine and handmade jewelry designers, buyers and curators - drawing perspectives on how we define both handmade and fine jewelry, and where the two intersect. What values do we place on materials in comparison to aesthetic, technical skill and culture?
We'll hear from different perspectives within the jewelry world, as well as talk about each designer's unique approach to their work.
Rae Hugh is the one-half duo of JoRaeGO, a new jewelry line specializing in statement necklaces inspired by the founder's roots in her Caribbean heritage. JoRaeGO started out as the brainchild of designers Rae Hugh and Jodi-Gaye Anderson who envisioned a collection of necklaces that compliment a woman's every day. With pieces inspired by the tropics to be worn on the world stage, the designs are effortless and chic.
With their debut collection in 2016, Salt + Fresh, they drew inspiration from the juxtaposing calm and chaos of the ocean and rivers from their childhood. This translated into one-of-a-kind pieces that were at opposite ends of the hue spectrum.
With the launch of their second collection, Wood + Water, they went home to their roots to the sunny island of Jamaica (the land of wood and water) and produced a collection that is rich and elegant in its designs.
Both girls aspire to inspire creatives. Their journey to partnership was fueled by the need to fulfill a creative destiny. Their tag line #GoAndBE is a note of encouragement to their customers to pursue with confidence, a mindset that showing up authentically is always enough. Each necklace is designed and carefully handcrafted in New York City and are available for sale on their website,
Passionate commitment to high quality work is the driving force behind Wendy's art. She believes that quality craftsmanship speaks for itself, that an eye for quality is one of the most invaluable skills that can be taught and learned. Perhaps typically, because so often we don't see the narrative of our own lives, Wendy doesn't see her own life as a story of any significance, that it's her jewelry that counts. But her journeys, choices and commitment, her dedication to and passion for beautiful, well-made things that have a meaningful origin, are inspirational and together craft a story that speaks clearly for itself and the character of its author.
PhaFa Roy
Stephanie PhaFa Roy was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1988. Her parents are Haitian immigrants that migrated to America in the 1960's. PhaFa is the youngest of five children and she comes from a family of artists and educators. At the age of four she began to copy drawings by her brother Stevey Ray Roy who would adjust her sketches and teach her new artistic techniques. In order to escape her reality from the impoverished community that she was raised in PhaFa began to create fashion illustrations of clothing that she was not allowed to wear and could not afford.
As her love for illustration grew so did her love for history and education. PhaFa attended the High School of Fashion Industries where she was able to develop her sewing and illustration skills. She also had the opportunity participate in and win the Teens in Fashion competition and intern in the boys department at Rocawear before the age of seventeen.
PhaFa then went on to graduate with honors from State University of New York Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T) with a Bachelor of Science degree in Art History & Museum Professions and a minor in Film & Media Studies. She also has an Associate degree in Fashion Design. PhaFa is an Artist and Creative Consultant. She uses her artistic talents to support social/civic issues and communities in need. Recently, she has collaborated on projects with the Queen Geniuses, The Office of Educational Opportunity at SUNY F.I.T, AFROPUNK, and the U.R.B.A.N Tattoo Convention, where she combined her creative instincts for product development and branding. Currently, PhaFa is the Visitor Services & Digital Content Manager at the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA), her primary focus is enhancing visitor engagement in the arts along with supporting brands in developing and selling their products in the MoCADA boutique.
PhaFa is committed to using art as a tool for inspiration and innovation. Her debut exhibition on June 6, 2014 of fashion illustrations, Women of the Diaspora: We Be Rational, showcased 60 illustrations of alternative women of color whose personal style does not conform to the social norms.
Stephanie PhaFa Roy continues to produce imaginative illustrations in Brooklyn, New York where she lives and works.
It was in the local craft markets of Jericoacoara, Brazil that Australian-born Scosha Woolridge sold her very first piece of handmade jewelry; this was the beginning of a passion for jewelry making that continues to this day. Being an avid traveler, Scosha draws her inspiration from the cultures she has observed on her expeditions through the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia and South America.
Scosha's continued exploration of cultures, colors and the bond of community has remained key in the communication of her brand . It is her deeply personal approach to design that continues to inform all of her pieces, giving them a sense of wonder, beauty, and timelessness.
SCOSHA has since established a flagship store and atelier in Williamsburg, the New York City borough she also calls home. She is a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), and has collaborated with many labels including Ralph Lauren, Club Monaco and Robert Geller. Scosha recently created a bracelet for Ralph Lauren as part of the official Team USA uniform for the Olympic Games in Rio.
Created in the SCOSHA atelier in Brooklyn, the line and its namesake designer are committed to environmentally sustainable and local production whenever possible. All SCOSHA jewelry is meticulously handcrafted, preserving ancient techniques for metalsmithing, stone setting and weaving, while also incorporating new and modern technologies to assist in the creative process.

Strep throat is inflammation of the throat, tonsils and lymph nodes due to infection with group A streptococcus bacteria. Strep throat is very common during the flu seasons and it can be preceded by mild symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing or cough. The incubation period of strep throat is around 3-5 days and most symptoms occur within this period of time. Common symptoms of strep throat are: throat inflammation and swelling, difficult swallowing, difficult breathing, mucus-producing cough, fatigue, body weakness, headache, nausea, poor appetite, enlargement of the lymph nodes and tonsils, excessive sweating and fever.
1. Home remedies for strep throat that can act as antibiotics are garlic, honey, olive leaf extract and tea tree oil. Such home remedies for strep throat can help in fighting infection and inflammation, but medical treatment shouldn't be ignored. In fact, most home remedies for strep throat should be used only in addition to medical treatment with antibiotics.
2. If you have strep throat you should get a lot of rest and sleep because the body can recover while it's rested. Hot tea and soup can do good to the irritated tissue inside the throat, and drinking a lot of water can relieve the pain when you swallow.
3. Tonsillitis is an infection on the tonsil. Sometimes, a doctor will suggest a tonsillectomy, but more often than not, you can also help relieve the symptoms at home. Drink a mixture of lime juice, salt, and boiled water. This will help to ease some of the pain in your throat. Over the counter medications will also help with the fever, as well as the sore throat.
4. A sore throat is usually the result of a chill. Milk, and milk products are harmful in such a condition. Take a glass of lukewarm water with a spoonful of honey in the morning and before sleep at night. Apply a cold compress to the throat and cover the compress with a woolen cloth. For a week take only bread, vegetables and fruits.
5. An infusion of cardamom (preferably with cinnamon) is used as a gargle for the treatment of sore throat problems. This infusion is good even if the sore throat is cause due to a serious condition such as influenza; in fact the infusion helps to prevent the influenza itself.
6. Usually a few gargle with a warm salt water solution will generally reduce any swelling and tends to relieve the discomfort that comes with sore throats. To be effective you should gargle at least one time every hour using one teaspoon of common table salt dissolved in approximately 8 ounces of warm water. In the event that you are bothered by postnasal drip you can safely gargle more often in order to prevent and additional throat irritation.
7. Make up a big pot of chicken broth. Load it up with lots of garlic, onion, ginger and turmeric to help thin and expel the mucus from your system. This is one of the natural sore throat remedies that can comfort your soul, particularly if it reminds you of your grandmother's home cooking!

The House of Representatives on Thursday voted against a motion seeking castration as a punishment for rapists.
In a motion moved by James Faleke, he recommended that persons found guilty of rape should be castrated. The House adopted the motion condemning sexual violence, but rejected his prayer on castration for rapists.
The prayer generated controversies, which lasted for about two hours.
House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila then asked to know what would happen to an older female who raped a younger male, before subjecting the prayer to a voice vote. The nays had it.
Yet, the lawmakers called for stiffer penalties against persons found guilty of rape, as did the Senate on Tuesday.
Contributors to the motion cited weak institutions, poor enforcement, poverty and unacceptable social practices as some of the reasons sexual violence against women is on the rise.
In honour of victims of sexual violence in Nigeria, the House resolved that members should be dressed in black on the next legislative day, next Tuesday.
The discussion around rape and sexual assaults came to the front burner over the week after reports of the murder of some women in Nigeria after being raped.
The police in Jigawa State on Sunday said it arrested 11 men who allegedly raped a 12-year-old.
On Monday, Nigerians expressed outrage over the rape and murder of a 23-year-old female 100-level Microbiology student of the University of Benin, Vera Omozuwa, inside a church in Edo State where she reportedly went to study on May 13.
She died 18 days later at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, the police said. While some reported she was raped, the police said they were waiting to be guided by her autopsy report.
Earlier this week also, a student of Science Laboratory Technology (SLT) at the Federal College of Animal Health and Production, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, was attacked, raped, and stabbed to death at Akinyele Kara Market along Old Oyo Road, Ibadan by unknown assailants.

As the Democrats gather for their quadrennial convention in Denver, it is clear that Sen. Barack Obama is on the ropes. After leading John McCain in presidential matchups for months, our new Reuters/Zogby poll this past week shows Obama trailing by 5 points nationally. This is a 12 point turnaround from the Reuters/Zogby poll in July, which showed Obama comfortably leading McCain 47%-40%. While it seems dramatic, we need to understand that this has been a slow and steady transition. And the reasons are clear.
Obama has clearly lost high levels of support from young voters and liberals. Many liberals are tough and demand purity and Obama has appeared to compromise on issues dear to their hearts like civil liberties, Iraq, and off-shore oil drilling. Similarly, some young people are beginning to question whether the compromising centrist Obama is the different sort of politician they were looking for.
I recall shocking reporters during the European portion of Obama's recent overseas trip, suggesting that the trip would actually benefit McCain because it would scare conservatives. For those on the right who were squidgy about McCain, seeing such adulation for Obama suggested that this liberal Democrat could win and it was time to rally around the Republican -- even if he wasn't their favorite. Adding insult to injury for conservatives, having Obama embraced by "Europeans" was just over the top.
McCain seized opportunities to display actionable leadership. A strong majority of Americans support off-shore oil drilling (the devil is certainly in the details, but Americans are hungry for action on energy) and McCain came out forthrightly in support while Obama vacillated. Then the Russian crisis in Georgia allowed McCain to display his tough side with clarity. It did not help Obama that he was on vacation and somewhat out of the loop in Hawaii. Speaking of vacation, McCain gave some hard punches to Obama on his "celebrity" status and inexperience, much of this while Obama was away.
Obama still has to contend with the Clintons and a new poll shows that only 56% of Clinton-backers would vote for Obama, while 21% intend to vote for McCain.
All and all, August has been rough for Sen. Obama and it has raised the issue that August has been a cruel month for Democratic nominees historically. Remember Jimmy Carter was leading Gerald Ford in 1976 by 30 points. His downward spiral began in August and Carter ultimately won by only one point. Michael Dukakis in 1988 was mauled by George H.W. Bush and squandered a 17-point lead in July to go down in defeat. John Kerry was famously "swiftboated" in August of 2004 and never recovered his image.
But this year could be different. The three previous Democrats suffered after their nomination convention. Arguably, Obama has taken his hits and now gets to refocus his campaign in late August. No doubt he has to have a great convention. Hillary Clinton must rally her supporters to Obama. She needs to do that as much for him as she does for her own future. And Obama has to redefine who he is and what he stands for in a brilliant convention speech. That's a tall order, but remember, all of this started for Sen. Obama with a brilliant convention speech four years ago.
What to look for beyond next week? Obama cannot buy enough "experience" between now and November, but he needs to be Jack Kennedy. He needs to clearly demonstrate "that the torch has passed to a new generation" and lay out a new, more positive image of America in the world of the 21st Century, a vision for hope and opportunity. He needs to show that his very presence at the podium is an immigrant success story, much like Kennedy's and millions of Americans. As for McCain, ironically, he has consolidated his Republican base. He now gets 83% of Republicans and over 80% of conservatives who support him against Obama. It's time for McCain to accentuate the fact that he's a maverick, a moderate, that he is anti-government, that he knows firsthand how dysfunctional Washington is and that he is the right man to clean it up. Sounds a lot like Harry Truman.
John Kennedy vs. Harry Truman in 2008. Now that's worth the price of admission.

West Side Representing: A Sharky School Visit
The West End of Grand Bahama Island is a far cry from the hustle and bustle of the island's major city-Freeport. Stacks of empty conch shells line the streets and potcakes dart around looking for a meal. The golden hour light drips over tiny fishing boats that have put in thousands of hours at sea; remodeled with the ingenuity of survival. Visitors to the island often overlook this community because it is not a cruise ship port of call, nor does it have a casino or square lined with shops and restaurants. West End, however, is the gateway to one of my favorite places on the planet-Tiger Beach.
Like many exotic dive destinations, the regular visitors are not from the local communities, but like myself, they travel thousands of miles to witness the natural wonders that lay in wait below the surface. There is no other place like Tiger Beach on the planet and everyone should put it on their, "bucket list," whether you are a certified diver or not. In all of my visits to the island, which number in the dozens no doubt, I had yet to visit one of the local schools. Inspired by the recent visits I did at schools in Maine, I decided that this had to change. I set about organizing a day and a time for Duncan and I to talk to the kids at the West End Primary about sharks.
The Bahamas has established a Shark Sanctuary thanks to the tireless efforts of many people and organizations, but it is the children of the Bahamas that will help ensure that sharks are a part of the future of the islands. Tiger Beach is in their back yard and I wanted the opportunity to share with them this amazing place and let them know that each and everyone of them could and should pay it a visit.
As Duncan and I walked through the door we were greeted with a dozen smiling faces. A young man took my bags for me and everyone was bouncing in their chairs. As we got the computer set with fingers crossed that it would project, more kids filed into the room with their chairs. Here I am, standing in front of 45 kids that will make a difference. They are the voice for our oceans. My shark talks are very interactive because I want the kids to know they have a voice and begin using it. I encourage questions and do my best to get to everyone. We talked about sharks, what they are and what they do and then I spent some time talking about Tiger Beach. I finished the hour talking about what they can do to help sharks and why sharks are so important to the Bahamas.
A lot of these kids have probably watched as tourists head out on boats to explore the pristine waters that surround their island, but I emphasized that they can do that too.
This presentation was emotional for me because I saw so much strength in these kids despite a lot of hard ships they have no doubt faced. The school is small and the desks are not lined with ipads or iphones. Technology or not these kids have heart and that will make a difference. They have the capacity to love and fight for the survival of their oceans. Our oceans.
Thanks West End Primary! I look forward to our next visit!

I am new to organic chemistry and was asked to rank the following materials according to energetic stability. I think I have understood that the way to do this is to count the amount of α-hydrogens: the more α-hydrogens, the more stable the molecule. However, the definition of an α-hydrogen is "a hydrogen that is attached to an α-carbon", where the α-carbon is the first carbon next to a functional group. In this case, it is not clear to me where the α-carbon is located: the only candidate for a functional group is the CH2/CH3 (depending on the case) at the very end of the chain, but then would the α-carbon be the very first one or the one next to it?
Any further general insight into the ranking of molecules according to energetic stability would also be very much appreciated… Many thanks!

The highest situated castle in the Czech Republic.
Vítkův Castle founded by the Vítkovci family dates back to the 13th century and is the highest situated castle in the Czech Republic. There is a residential tower called Donjon, which is open to the public and serves as a lookout tower. From the top of the tower you can see the Šumava, Lipno and, in good visibility, the Alps (Dachstein).
The castle is on a hill above the village of Svatý Tomáš with a church of the same name. It is a century younger than Vítkův Castle, however, the Romanesque sacristy on the north side of the shrine is even older, it was built in 1258 by Vítek of Krumlov. The church was renovated in 1991 as it was in danger of collapse.
In Svatý Tomáš, you can refresh yourself, have something to eat, and spend the night. It is a popular tourist destination with good hospitality and accommodation services.

Wheels up, off to California after adjourning the House until after Election Day. It's a shameful display of partisanship in the wake of our recovery from the coronavirus. Rather than help small businesses continue to access unused funds from the Paycheck Protection Program, Speaker Nancy PelosiNancy PelosiGOP lawmaker calls on Pelosi to apologize for response to Trump contracting coronavirus Pelosi: 'We're making progress' on coronavirus relief bill What President Trump's positive COVID test could mean for the markets MORE (D-Calif.) is willing to block reasonable relief efforts, all in the name of politics. She doesn't want to risk President TrumpDonald John TrumpQuestions remain unanswered as White House casts upbeat outlook on Trump's COVID-19 fight White House staffers get email saying to stay home if they experience coronavirus symptoms White House says 'appropriate precautions' were taken for Trump's outing to see supporters MORE and congressional Republicans getting an ounce of credit in the final weeks of this election.
Some things are simply more important than political posturing, like ensuring American small businesses can weather the storm of the coronavirus pandemic. We have unspent funds from the Paycheck Protection Program, a COVID relief program that saved 51 million jobs in the United States, 2 million in Ohio alone. Its authorization is expiring, meaning the program is closing up shop, despite $138 billion left in the coffers. My Ohio colleague, Rep Steve ChabotSteven (Steve) Joseph ChabotKate Schroder in Ohio among Democratic challengers squelching GOP hopes for the House Centrist Democrats 'strongly considering' discharge petition on GOP PPP bill Lawmakers call for expanded AI role in education, business to remain competitive MORE, has a simple, straightforward bill that reauthorizes the unspent funds through the end of the year, expands the eligible entities and expenses, and further protects the program so that businesses with fewer than 300 employees can get to the front of the line.
We are on the right path toward economic recovery, with more than 10 million jobs created or brought back after the worst of the pandemic. But as states re-open at different paces, we still have businesses struggling to adjust and keep their doors open. Mom and pop stores, those with just a handful of employees are bearing the brunt of the economic damage. That's why this PPP extension bill earmarks $25 billion for businesses with 10 or fewer employees and, if a business receives a second PPP loan, this bill ensures the total of those two loans cannot exceed $10 million.
Those businesses with just a few employees can make up a large number of loans in the program, but those loans will often be some of the smallest approved by the Small Business Administration. They are businesses that would struggle with the compliance and paperwork costs associated with byzantine processes mandated by federal regulators. This bill eliminates this problem: a simple form attesting that the business complied with the loan requirements is all that will be needed. It also requires them to keep records related to the loan on hand for three years in the case of an audit by the Small Business Administration.
A truly important aspect of this bill is transparency: The American people are sick and tired of the Washington insiders getting rich with inside information or by using taxpayer dollars as leverage. The people writing and enforcing the laws need to play by the same rules as those being governed, including their family members. This bill mandates the disclosure of a PPP loan made to the president, the vice president, members of the Cabinet, and members of Congress, as well as spouses and children.
These are commonsense proposals in legislation that has already been approved on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. Speaker Pelosi has held this bill hostage for nearly two months in an effort to extract as much of the Democrats' socialist agenda in any future relief packages. It is unconscionable that Congress' failure to act will result in even more hardships for Main Street businesses in our towns and cities.
I signed the discharge petition which, if having received enough signatures from congressional representatives, would force the bill to the House floor for a vote. Right now, there aren't enough Republicans in the House for that to happen. It's either going to take a bipartisan effort to force Speaker Pelosi's hand or a change in the House leadership this November, which doesn't help small businesses now. We have been willing to work across the aisle these last six months, and the relief packages previously passed prove that. We can do it one more time to extend relief we have already passed, if only Speaker Pelosi can set aside the desire to politically inure President Trump and Republicans before Nov. 3.

Local Sports Journal
There are three things spectators walked away with from the Henderson Memorial Match Play Championship at Lincoln Golf Club on Sunday: A stiff spine from a cold, driving wind and scattered rain, the golf shots of Ryan Mouw, and a finely manicured course at Lincoln.
Mouw made viewers forget about the cold with a chip-in birdie out of a sand trap on the 11th hole. He also showed on 14 why he's known for hitting big putts.
And that's why Mouw walked away champion of the Henderson Championship Flight by beating Travis Clarke 5 and 4 in the finals.
Digging himself into a sand trap behind the 11th green, Mouw was needing to keep ahead of a pesky and younger Clarke on the par 3. With deliberate thought, Mouw chipped in for birdie and kept his pace.
"I kept applying the pressure," said Mouw about his final against Clarke. "Making him beat me with birdies and I made my own share birdies as well. The whole thing with match play is keeping the pressure on them."
Mouw wrapped up the championship on the 14th hole with a 25-foot putt for par.
The driving wind seemed like it would never stop and on 10, it didn't.
"The hole was playing a real long ways," said Mouw about the 377-yard par-4 10th hole. "That's a very big turning point hole. Two of my matches over the weekend, two guys hit out of bounds because they used their driver."
"That's just giving me a hole and I'm just hitting into the fairway. It's a very very big hole to this golf tournament and in any tournament and especially in match play here."
Mouw was not shy to point out Clarke's tough game.
"This morning against (Jeff)Petroski was the first time I've ever seen him play and I was like whoa this kid is good," Mouw said. "He plays fast. Gets up over the putt, barely looks at it, gets up and goes and he makes it. I knew I was going to have my hands full."
Despite the rough weather conditions, Mouw was very comfortable at Lincoln. It's been his home course since he was a kid.
"I've played here my entire life so it's always going to be my home course," said Mouw. "I always feel comfortable here. Everybody here is good friends of mine. I never lose touch with them."
One close friend that Mouw had by his side the entire weekend was his girlfriend Caitlyn Gledhill.
"Caitlyn is a saint for following me around the last couple of days. Handling the nasty rain and cold and everything else. She's a trouper."
Speaking about the cold and rain, the 2013 Henderson champ does not favor the rough weather.
"I'll be the first to tell you that I am not a good rain and cold weather player," said Mouw. "But, I had a good mental attitude and felt ok the entire time. But I could really feel the weather was taking control of me the whole time."
Lincoln golf pro Colby Beckstrom had his say about the weather conditions too.
"I couldn't have asked for better weather," said Beckstrom. "It brings a certain element."
The Henderson brought that element on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Those who stuck around and fought off the weather will walk back to Lincoln next year where the Henderson will be hosted once again.

US government agency forces open gate in private border wall
A federal agency has forced open a gate in the privately funded wall near the US-Mexico border, saying the group that built it didn't follow proper permitting procedures.
The US section of the International Boundary and Water Commission says the gate was blocking a government-owned levee road, and that the group known as We Build the Wall constructed the gate on federal land without authority.
"It's not the border wall that we have a problem with," spokeswoman Lori Kuczmanski said. "The problem is the gate is on federal property. You just can't come in and build a gate on somebody's property without asking — especially not giving them the keys and walking away from it. It's not right."
Representatives of the commission removed a private lock and padlocked the gate open Monday afternoon, she said.
By Tuesday night, the agency's presidentially appointed commissioner had decided the gate would be closed at night due to security concerns, but kept open during the day, Kuczmanski said.
We Build the Wall founder Brian Kolfage slammed the commission in a series of social media posts Tuesday, accusing the federal agency of overreaching its authority and calling for its presidentially appointed commissioner to resign.
In a statement to CNN, Kolfage said his group's attorneys are working on the matter — comparing the situation to a permitting dispute with city officials in Sunland Park, New Mexico that was resolved after city officials issued a "cease and desist" notice temporarily blocking construction.
"Just like we saw with the City of Sunland Park, we will prevail," Kolfage said Tuesday. "Our lawyers have been working on this for weeks and we will regain control over the gate shortly."
On Wednesday, Kolfage told CNN the gate was back under his group's control.
"We are working with the water commission to schedule times to have it open for them," he said. "When they are not using it, it will remain locked and secure."
But Kuczmanski maintained that International Boundary and Water Commission personnel are controlling the gate.
Footage from CNN affiliate KVIA showed commission employees locking the gate shut Tuesday night.
"We are going to maintain operational control of the gate until the permit is processed. And we're still in the permitting process," Kuczmanski said.
A simmering dispute over access and security
The dispute pits We Build the Wall, an organization that raised more than $20 million for border wall construction in a GoFundMe campaign, against the US section of the International Boundary and Water Commission, a federal agency charged with applying boundary and water treaties between the US and Mexico.
The commission — which has US and Mexican counterparts — operates flood control levees, wastewater treatment plants and boundary monuments at numerous locations along the US-Mexico border, including the American Dam located near We Build the Wall's barrier. Its US section is headquartered in El Paso, Texas.
"The USIBWC is concerned about the safety and security of our employees and the infrastructure at the American Dam, which is next to the privately-constructed gate," the commission's US section said in a statement posted on its website. "Despite USIBWC requests to locate the gate further from American Dam, the private gate was constructed in a way that may channel undocumented immigrants into the American Dam area. When the proper documentation is received for the permit, USIBWC will continue to process the permit application."
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico had called for the commission to intervene last week, criticizing the fence for blocking access to Monument One, a historical marker at the US-Mexico border.
Kolfage told CNN a private property owner also owns part of the road leading to the monument and has the right to limit access.
"Access to the monument can ultimately be restricted indefinitely by the private property landowner if he deems it's necessary since he owns the road further up the way," he said.
He said the commission only became critical of the project after the ACLU raised concerns — an accusation the commission disputes. "That had no part in any decision-making process," said Kuczmanski, the commission spokeswoman.
Kuczmanski said concerns about access to the monument are also being considered as part of the permit application.
Permits can take up to six months to process, she said.
"They're lacking paperwork and information that we need to make a final determination," she said, including a hydrology study and a drainage report.
It's not typical for a project to move forward without a permit, she said.
"Usually everybody is very cooperative and they well in advance tell us their intent, and they give us all their plans, and all their specifications, and all their documents," she said. "And we say 'yea' or 'nay,' and we proceed from there."
CNN's Chris Boyette contributed to this report.

A plant pigment that gives color to many fruits and vegetables has multiple protective properties that could shield the brain from Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
Being natural, the compound can't be patented, so it's of no value to drug companies. But scientists have now developed a synthetic version of this plant pigment and are pushing for clinical trials.
Even if successful it could take many years before this treatment becomes FDA approved for use in Alzheimer's treatment and prevention. Meanwhile, the plant compound called fisetin is already available today in a juicy fruit or in a dietary supplement.
Fisetin is an antioxidant flavonol that gives many fruits and vegetables a yellow hue, such as onions, cucumbers, apples, persimmons and yes, even strawberries right before they fully ripen and turn red.
A Colorful Cornucopia of Brain Benefits
Dr. Pamela Maher from The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, La Jolla, California has been studying fisetin for two decades.
Her team's work has shown this remarkable antioxidant crosses the blood brain barrier. Once in the brain, it is. . .
- Neuroprotective — shields nerve cells from multiple toxic insults
- Neurotrophic — promotes the growth of neurons while slowing their death
- An antioxidant — induces the production of a variety of endogenous antioxidants, in particular glutathione, a key antioxidant enzyme system that protects against damage from free radicals
- Anti-inflammatory
- Memory boosting — enhances learning and memory, including long-term memory
- Immune modifying — positively influences pathways of the innate immune system that are involved in the progression of Alzheimer's
- Protective against Alzheimer's by reducing the brain cell damage caused by amyloid plaques and limiting the accumulation of tau tangles that cause the death of brain cells
- Disease modifying– reduces the impact and slows the progression of Huntington's disease
That's an awesome list of brain benefits.
But of course these benefits were all discovered in cell cultures and rodent studies. Fisetin can't be guaranteed to act in the same way in the human brain, since clinical trials are notably absent.
This may change, however, after promising findings of a new synthetic version of fisetin developed at the Salk Institute. A synthetic version can be patented, so lo and behold, the checkbooks come out and there's a willingness to fund expensive laboratory studies.
Reverses Memory Loss in Animal Studies
The Salk team had already tested the new version, called CMS121, and found it was effective at slowing the degeneration of brain cells and improving the memory of mice.
Following that, it was time for a bigger test using mice specially engineered to get the human equivalent of Alzheimer's. Some would get the drug while another group would not receive it. A third acted as healthy controls.
The scientists tried to replicate how a middle-aged patient might be treated. So at nine months, the equivalent of middle age in mice, when the mice were already beginning to develop learning and memory problems, the researchers gave the active group daily doses of CMS121.
Three months later, all groups were given a battery of cognitive and behavioral tests.
The result of their experiment was that the Alzheimer's mice taking the drug saw their memory improve. They performed just as well as the healthy control rodents. But the untreated Alzheimer's mice performed poorly.
In subsequent pathology analysis, the researchers discovered that the drug reduced neuro-inflammation. In addition, fat molecules called lipids, which play important roles in every cell in the body, differed in the mentally impaired mice who were not taking CMS121.
FASN – Exciting New Alzheimer's Target
In particular, the non-drug Alzheimer's group had higher levels of lipid peroxidation, the process by which free radicals damage lipids in cell membranes.
"That not only confirmed that lipid peroxidation is altered in Alzheimer's, but that this drug is actually normalizing those changes," said GamzeAtes, a member of the research team.
To discover why this occurred, additional research showed CMS121 lowered levels of fatty acid synthetase (FASN), an enzyme that can promote lipid peroxidation.
To see if this happens in humans, they examined brain samples of people who had died of Alzheimer's. Sure enough, they had higher levels of FASN compared to people of the same age who were cognitively healthy when they died.
Dr. Maher, who led the team, said that "identifying a new target…is really exciting and opens a lot of doors."
Getting Fisetin Naturally
While we await human trials of CMS121, fisetin, the natural version, is available. Unfortunately, it's found in meaningful quantities in just one food – strawberries – and you would have to eat a sizable amount each day to secure the benefits seen in animal studies.
Realistically, fisetin needs to be taken as a supplement.
Although there are no human trials, judging from the many years of work conducted on rodents, Dr. Maher believes fisetin is safe to take.
Even though people have been taking it for some years, "I haven't really heard of any negative reports," she said. "I think potentially, fisetin could be of benefit as a preventative." I've been takinfisetin for about the past year, although off and on. I haven't been consistent about it the entire time.

This study examined whether the market fully prices the reported Selling, General, and Administrative (SGA) expenses when this item includes an intangible investment component. For a sample of intangible investment-intensive firms, we showed that their SGA expenses benefit future operating performances. Evidence suggests some degree of market inefficiency in the pricing of SGA expenses and the intangible investment component. Furthermore, the financial analysts do not appear to appreciate fully the future benefits of the component in their earnings forecasts. Finally, the pertinent disclosures in firms' annual reports are so inadequate as to attenuate the market mispricing, suggesting a significant room for future improvement.

Advancements in social justice require several ingredients — and African-Americans are certainly familiar with the basics by virtue of our history: faith, leadership, moral courage. Certainly Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. embodied all of these. But he also understood the importance and value of narrative, and the art of framing issues for Americans of all stripes to appreciate and engage in the civil rights movement.
When Dr. King declared that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere", he was invoking the moral high ground of an inclusive framework for the civil rights movement in America. While the civil rights movement was principally about the plight of African-Americans, he connected our justice struggle to that of any oppressed group, anywhere across our nation and globe. The door swung wide open for partnership and inclusion in the struggle. It was about us, but it was also bigger and more than about us.
Narratives and frames can be deployed for negative and ill effects as well. The politics of exclusion and demagoguery that emerged from our nation's recent Presidential election is a painful reminder of this phenomenon. Anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim rhetoric promoted a narrative of "exclusion" rather than "inclusion", and has emboldened hate, white nationalist and supremacy groups in recent months – hate crimes and hate incidents are back on the rise.
I became smitten with the work of community health back in the mid-to-late 1980's, as a practicing pediatrician in communities in Camden and North Philadelphia. My wake-up call was the emergence of a truly evil and pervasive innovation: crack cocaine. Cocaine is a highly euphoric and addictive drug, but prior to the 1980's was generally too expensive for residents in low income communities to purchase – one needed at least $100 in cash flow to purchase the powdered form. When "Crack" burst upon the scene in 1984, suddenly folks with limited incomes and poor cash flow could purchase cocaine – Crack could be found and purchased on street corners for as little as five bucks. This highly addictive drug provided 20 minutes of well-being and euphoria for oppressed, depressed, marginalized, and struggling individuals — people lacking hope. It proved that the absence of hope, in fact, could be lethal.
The Crack cocaine epidemic was utterly devastating in its speed and in its reach. It swept across urban America, leaving wreckage and chaos in black families and communities in its wake. Rates of property crimes, sexually transmitted diseases, child abuse, premature births (known as "crack babies"), domestic violence, gun violence and gang violence all exploded.
As if the effects of crack cocaine weren't bad enough, our nation's response was nearly as harmful, and certainly more enduring. The crack epidemic led to a new criminal justice and public safety narrative called "Three Strikes and You're Out." It was a punishment and incarceration narrative, that quickly evolved from bumper-sticker to all manner of federal, state, and local policy changes in sentencing for drug-related crime use. Well-chronicled in Michelle Alexander's terrific book, The New Jim Crow, the legacy of racism was joined at the hip with the criminal justice system – all under the guise of effective Public Safety.
As a practicing pediatrician serving inner-city low income families at the height of the crack epidemic, I was equal parts mortified and outraged. The nation's response to the medical-health epidemic of crack addiction was to criminalize it. Instead of a substantial increase in access to community mental health and drug treatment services, our nation built jails. Dollars for prison construction climbed upwards in public budgets, as community organizations providing prevention services and youth supports pinched pennies. They still do – ask any executive director of a youth-serving organization in Watts or Inglewood.
The punishment narrative spilled over into our nation's public education system, as "Zero Tolerance" policies in schools exploded, following in the glide path set by Three Strikes and You're Out. Black and brown boys, in particular, experienced a more than 300% increase in school suspensions at the very same time that our nation's prison population increased by more than 400%. Message to our young men and women of color in our schools: we don't want you here if you act out.
Police departments and the LAPD now find themselves in a peculiar and uncomfortable position, with a crisis of legitimacy found in many urban communities across the nation. The narrative and punitive policies of Three Strikes and You're Out and a voracious school-to-prison pipeline leaves police departments perceived by many in our community as part of the problem. Add in the occasional tragic police shooting of unarmed African-American males, and we have the necessary ingredients of deep and profound civic and community distrust.
The matter of police shootings has now taken center stage in the discourse of race in America. Yes, it is absolutely clear that organizations like Black Lives Matters and others have every right to be outraged and aggrieved in asserting rights, justice, and accountability with police departments. But I offer two points of caution in hyper-focusing on police shootings as the prize for civil rights in Los Angeles, and the nation. The first is that even if we were to achieve the lofty objective of eliminating every police shooting of African-American males across the nation, this falls short of the real prize for justice: if we succeed in eliminating police shootings, but fail to improve graduation and employment rates in young black males, we still fall well short of meaningful justice and prosperity for our young people.
Secondly, we heap substantial outrage on police chiefs and police departments for failing young African-Americans at the flashpoint of a controversial police shooting – but at the very same time, express only tepid levels of disappointment when the systemic prevention and youth development supports our kids need and deserve go unattended – something is out of balance with our priorities. Abysmally, seventy-five percent of black boys in the third grade across the nation are not reading at grade level proficiency; black boys are being criminalized and suspended out of school at extraordinary rates; community-based mental health services and after-school programs seem to be a luxury rather than a standard of practice at the community level; state and local budgets heavily emphasize jails and prisons over gang prevention and youth development programs. Our outrage about these issues must match or exceed that which emerges after police shootings. Let's work to prevent the conditions that lead to police shootings in the first place.
Finally, what does this mean for the struggle for social justice in Los Angeles? It means the following:
As we recall the contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, our nation struggles with a paired set of narratives that stand in the way of progress for African-American communities specifically, and social justice generally. The first is the President-elect Trump-embraced narrative of exclusion. The second is the enduring narrative and policy environment of punishment and incarceration. Spurred on by the memory of Dr. King, we in Los Angeles must endeavor to provide our nation with a re-energized narrative of justice, inclusion – and prevention.

We reach out to our writers, subscribers, and followers to help us build our annual feature on brewery openings. This year, we've also included a number of Canadian breweries. Here are 50 of the most promising newcomers, as chosen by you.
Breweries around the globe are bucking the hazy, hoppy trend by devoting at least some of their energies to Gruit, a medieval ale made with a variety of botanicals. Although small, the worldwide movement to bring more attention to it has gained steam, and is recognized with International Gruit Day.
Strolling through Kassel, Germany, where the Grimm brothers grew up, illustrator Ola Volo started thinking about the history of the Doan's founders as a modern folklore tale.
After sweeping changes came to Alberta's brewing regulations in 2013, smaller breweries were soon on the rise, and today there are over 45 throughout the province, with Calgary at the center of the action.
The character on Muskoka Brewery's Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout label has taken on a life of its own, inspiring look-alike and beard-growing contests at the Ontario brewery.
Brothers Tomas and Julian Morana, who cut their teeth working at their father Ralph's famed Bar Volo, opened Birreria Volo in Toronto's Little Italy.
Restaurateur plans to open Rwanda's first local brewery; first US brewery medals in German-style Pilsner at European awards; changes in Oklahoma and Pennsylvania benefit beer drinkers; and Night Shift Brewery launches own wholesaler.
The five-employee, family-run Beau's All Natural Brewing Company began making beer in 2006. Since then, the company has grown to approximately 160 employees—about 40 percent of whom have a friend or family connection.
Thanks to Jon Downing's leadership, Niagara College Teaching Brewery won the first US Open College Beer Championship in July 2016, a competition among collegiate brewing programs.
The Pacific Northwest offers a multitude of options for thirsty beercationers, from Oregon's mountain biking brew tours to brewery cruises through Washington's San Juan Islands.
The popularity of British imports like Bass Pale Ale made India Pale Ale a popular style in Canada at the turn of the 20th century.
Two hours north of Montreal, this 5-barrel brewpub is housed in a 150-year-old building that once served as a general store. Its small town of Saint-Tite also hosts a rodeo every September.
In regions known for maple syrup production, brewers embrace the many flavors that come from brewing with liquid gold.
Pabst to open pilot brewery in Milwaukee; Norwegian brewers recreate Viking beer recipe; Ontario's Liquor Control Board introduces Craft Beer Zones; and breweries aid South Carolina flood victims.
The Canadian government has recently updated the country's "Beer Standards of Identity," the definition used to determine if a beverage can be labeled and sold as beer.
Glutenberg, based in Montreal, Québec has a simple, yet formidable, mission: to make beer that's not only good gluten-free beer, but good beer, period. This ambitious attitude drives the young brewery to experiment with new techniques and embrace and highlight gluten-free grains.
More celebrities collaborating with craft brewers; Coors causes controversy at Puerto Rican celebration; malfunctioning beer fridge responsible for Australian cellular network blackout; TTB opens door for beer, wine, spirits to add nutrition labels; and BrewDogs set to air Scottish founders' hijinx on US TV this fall.
Nearly 20 percent of Canadians live in the "Golden Horseshoe," a region that wraps around the southern tip of Lake Ontario. In the last decade, drinkers here have slowly been undergoing a craft beer conversion thanks to the appearance of new breweries, beer bars, festivals and even Canada's first brewing school.
The jump from employee to owner-brewer is an expensive one. But for Jason Meyer, co-founder of Driftwood Brewing Company in Victoria, British Columbia, the really hairy stuff came in the months after his brewhouse got cranking.
Adverse growing conditions impact the Canadian barley crop; archaeological site provides oldest evidence of brewing in France; non-alcoholic Weissbier's health benefits; New Century Brewing closes; and Charles Koch Jr. passes away at 88.
Québec's artisan beer revolution traces back to the Belgian-inflected brewing of Unibroue, which opened in 1992; 20 years later, the movement is entering its adolescence with confidence.
Switching from the once-ubiquitous brown bottles to cans may have been novel nine years ago, but today, it's just one way craft brewers are reexamining their relationship with the container industry in hopes of shaving costs and putting better beer on the shelves.
It's big and dense and modern, the people are welcoming, the food is fresh and tasty, and should you be inclined to venture outside—some pretty staggering natural sights are right outside the city limits. And here's where to drink while you're taking it all in.
Robot serves a cold one; BrewDog ends history, t' Koelchip starts the future; "Brewed" coming soon to a TV near you; Canadian football team eradicating beer snakes.

This is an interesting question that each person with a hearing loss asks. If not the person with the hearing loss, then surely a family member such as a daughter or son asks the question. It is a larger question than just googling an audiologist or hearing aid dispenser. There are many considerations: convenience to a person's home or work, confidence or trust in the provider, the issue of price and what is included in the price. But, ultimately, the choice lies in the face to face meeting face to face with the provider and having all your questions answered before you place the order.
Some consumers depend on their friends' experience and advice. Others depend on their primary care physician's recommendation. Others shop around and take the time to visit several offices before making a final determination. Others are limited to insurance coverage and contracts. Some unions will pay a portion of the hearing aids at certain offices. Overall, it is not an easy decision to make.
As a consumer, I want to be comfortable with the provider. I may be unusual, but I have "interviewed" physicians before I made my final decision on who I want to trust with my health. When I was told by one physician I couldn't do that because they couldn't bill for the appointment, I choose not to use that particular physician as my primary care doctor. I wanted someone who would take "extra time" with me, if my situation warranted it. I didn't want to be told that my seven minutes were up.
As an audiologist who sells hearing aids, I also want people to feel comfortable in my office. I do not want it to be so "medical" that it is off putting. I believe in taking the time to make sure a person is hearing well before they leave my office. Some people may perceive my "chit chat" as unnecessary. However, I usually do a number of tricks such as turn my back, and change the subject to see if the person responds appropriately and is still with the conversation. I turn my head, talk softly and ask a crazy question such as "What did you eat for breakfast?" This tells me several things. I am checking memory which will affect the details of my instructions to the person. It also tells me if they heard this off-beat question and can answer it. Even if they say, "Hmm, I don't remember what I had for breakfast", I know they heard the question and was thinking about it.
I want consumers to be referred by their family and friends who have found our services helpful, comfortable, and affordable. I want the primary care physicians to automatically refer every 50 year old for a baseline hearing test. I want pediatricians to refer children who failed their school hearing screening. I want patients to refer others to the practice.
Some insurance companies are aggressively encouraging people to purchase hearing aids through their discount programs. The implication is that hearing aids are devices that can be worn without any maintenance or follow-up care. Insurances are looking at hearing aids like an arm brace. You purchase it and use it.
Hearing aids are very sophisticated devices. Some insurance companies will sell you hearing aids "pre-programmed" to fit your hearing loss. The assumption is that the hearing aids are programmed to "correct" your hearing loss that is determined by the audiogram or hearing test. There are many other factors that determine how hearing aids should be programmed.
Most of the software designed to program hearing aids sets the hearing aids to "target" or the optimum hearing for a person's hearing loss. Personally, I have found that most first time hearing aid wearers find this setting too loud and uncomfortable. I know that hearing aid manufacturers do not believe that, based on their studies, but I have found this to be true of most of my first time wearers.
There is a well-documented phenomenon known as Uncomfortable Loudness Level. It is important to test this so the maximum gain can be reduced so environmental sounds will not exceed this level for the wearer. On most audiograms, the level is not routinely tested. Many seniors have "recruitment" or the abnormal growth in loudness. This affects the maximum gain output and needs to be adjusted on hearing aids for a person with recruitment.
These are just some of the factors that need to be considered by the audiologist and hearing aid dispenser as they are programming the hearing aids for the wearer. These are factors that a mail-order hearing aid do not take into consideration. And, for the adjustments to be made, the hearing aids would need to be mailed back to the factory for adjustments. How is the hearing aid wearer to know about these items and ask for those adjustments?
As a professional, I believe the patient receives the best care from a local office. Purchasing hearing aids via the mail is ultimately not in someone's best interest. Being able to have regular follow-ups and cleanings is key to the success of wearing hearing aids. Being able to talk about your experiences in different situations gives important information to the professional so they can re-program your hearing aid for better hearing and better clarity. Find a local provider who you feel comfortable with. Find a local provider who has good office hours to accommodate your schedule and who listens to you. Find a local provider who has experience fitting hearing aids. Hearing aids need regular professional cleanings. You will need an annual hearing test to monitor your hearing. If your hearing changes, you will need your hearing aids re-programmed.

The July 9 editorial, "Overhaul mental health treatment," suggested that the funding provided by the state's Mental Health Services Act (Proposition 63), approved by voters in November 2004, has been less than effective.
For the County of San Bernardino, the experience has been very positive and the "spirit" of the act has been realized. Over 104,700 individuals have received services tailored to be inclusive and to meet the needs of the diverse populations in this region.
Over the past six years, and with the use of MHSA funding, the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) has been able to implement over 30 significant programs that address issues such as crisis intervention, prevention and early intervention and homelessness. The following are six examples of programs put into place:
Community Crisis Response Teams (CCRT) that operate 24/7. The program, referred to as a godsend by Lt. Dale Mondary, crisis intervention training coordinator for the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department, consists of teams of specially trained mental health professionals who provide mobile crisis assessment and intervention for children and adults brought to the attention of law enforcement and other emergency responders. Due to the collaborative efforts of DBH, law enforcement and local hospitals in fiscal year 2009-10 CCRT received 7,344 calls for assistance, including 5,246 crisis calls. Of those 5,246 crisis calls 3,177 (61 percent) were diverted to more appropriate and less restrictive levels of care.
Three Crisis Walk-In Centers (CWICs) throughout the county. CWIC staff assess children and adults who are in need of urgent mental health services. The programs are outpatient models, which are used by law enforcement, CCRT and the community. In fiscal year 2009-10 CWIC staff were able to provide services to 6,020 clients. Of those, 5,708 (95 percent) were diverted from hospitalization.
A Psychiatric Diversion Program which offers community-based services to individuals who go to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC). Psychiatric Emergency Room for behavioral health services. Services provided by the program allow for treatment and care in an outpatient setting, thereby, avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations. In fiscal year 2009-10 the team was able to avoid hospitalization for 3,193 of the 4,434 consumers who presented at ARMC for behavioral health services by linking them to less restrictive and more appropriate care within the community.
Crisis Intervention Training. A community partnership that has resulted in 400 sheriff's deputies and police officers receiving behavioral health education intended to equip them with alternative methods of interaction when encountering individuals living with a mental illness.
Two Military Services and Family Support Centers. Funding provided by the Prevention and Early Intervention component of MHSA has made it possible for DBH to collaborate with two contracted providers, Victor Community Support Services and Morongo Basin Mental Health Services, to provide rehabilitative support for military service members and their families. The objectives of the programs are to improve access to behavioral health care; increase knowledge of social, emotional and behavioral issues and reduce stigma. Services include assessments; rehabilitative support; family services and in-home visits.
Transitional Age Youth (TAY) One Stop Centers. Through MHSA funding, DBH and its contracted providers Pacific Clinics and Victor Community Services, as well as other county partners are addressing the TAY, ages 16-25, throughout the county by providing coordinated and comprehensive support and direct services. Services include: housing (which includes for pregnant and parenting TAY), employment; educational opportunities; life skills; medication support; drug and alcohol services; domestic violence and physical, emotional and sexual abuse counseling, with a focus on wellness and recovery. TAY are encouraged to utilize the services to best maximize their individual potential.
MHSA funding has been used to develop new and expanded programs to address behavioral health needs in the County of San Bernardino. The approach to develop these programs has been innovative, culturally and linguistically competent, community-based and consumer and family driven.
In spite of a decline in realignment funding, which has affected the ability to continue to provide some very effective behavioral health services, one cannot deny the fact that the "spirit" of MHSA has been realized in the County of San Bernardino. The promise has been kept!
Allan Rawland is director of the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health.

K-12 Education To Evolve In 2018
Here are the five trends we expect to shape K-12 growth in 2018.

2018 will be one of the most exciting years for the education industry as rapidly changing technology continues to make its mark on K-12 learning. Here are the five trends we expect to shape K-12 growth in 2018.
1. Schools preferring Integrated and Interdisciplinary Resources:
Schools have, in the days gone by, relied on teachers to make the most appropriate choices on the textbooks and resources for various subjects. While this has served us reasonably well, it could have outlived its utility. As classrooms are becoming more and more digital, there is a need for digital and audio-visual resources to align with the content in the textbook. Further, there is a growing realization that real-life problem solving requires an interdisciplinary approach and that this has to be inculcated in children from an early age. There is growing trend for schools to prefer integrated solutions where textbooks, digital resources and assessments are all aligned to enable a superior and easier teaching-learning experience. Solutions like Pearson MyPedia have been preferred by hundreds of schools across the country owing to its integrated and interdisciplinary approach.
2. Portable learning:
Learning no longer needs to be confined to a place or time; anytime and anyplace that suits the student is a good time to learner. Smartphone technology and world of mobile applications has made it possible for services like MyPedia Home App and Byju's to be carried around on a mobile phone or a tablet.
3. Data driven instruction:
Just as it promises to revolutionize every sector in the future, data is set to change the face of education. Using technology and smart assessments it has now become possible to generate and analyses vast amounts of learner data and figure out learning gaps and opportunities. Teachers are increasingly able to access far deeper information about students than was ever possible even 3 years ago. This will give rise to smarter, more effective instruction in the future.
4. Parent unions
Social media has made it possible for parents to form strong networks and pressure groups. While this is a good development, we are seeing it taken to the extreme. Parents are mobilizing like unions and questioning everything that a school does from choice of uniforms and textbooks, fees and fee increases, extra curriculars, instruction strategies, etc. Some of this is surely well-intentioned and constructive; however parents have allowed politicians, the education bureaucracy and media enter this "battlefield". This is not going to end well for schools, parents or students.
5. Increased focus on Health and Safety:
The unfortunate incidents of violence and abuse against children in schools have made government and society sit up and take notice. Parents are far more demanding, and rightly so, of proper security protocols and policies. Regulations have also been brought in to control these incidents. However, with the exception of some schools, others have been found wanting.
