Potholes and paving projects reviewed
New equipment and state cost sharing will help Ruidoso in some upcoming road projects. Public works director says in-crews will be handling more or the work that previously had to be contracted
Saving roads before they deteriorate beyond repair and must be rebuilt is one of the major goals of the Ruidoso Street Department in choosing annual projects, Ruidoso Public Works Director J. R. Baumann told village councilors Tuesday.
Councilors approved participation in two cost-sharing programs with the state Department of Transportation. The municipal arterial program must be connected to a state highway and village officials chose the main streets within Camelot Subdivision, which are Crown Drive, Excalibur Road, Guinevere Avenue and Camelot Drive that connect to U.S.70.
"How do we decide which to do next?" he said. "Generally, we look at road condition. If it is moderate, now is the time to put a coat on to save it. If we wait, the cost could be five times as much. The other thing we look at is if all the utilities are in the ground already (to avoid future pavement cuts) and where we get the most bang for the buck."
The Camelot project covers six miles, but Baumann only can do half with the first allocation. He will try for the other half in the next round.
"The roadways are currently in bad disrepair due to many utility cuts and patching throughout the years," Baumann wrote in his memorandum to councilors. "The village plans to use its in-house street department to overlay portions of the project. When completed, the village also will use in-house crew to shoot oil for the chip seal portion (oil and rock mixture) and crews will spread the rock with out in-house spreader. Finally, the crew will fog seal the entire project. Upon completion, the roadway will be a complete 22 foot wide roadway with improved shoulders for the safety of the traveling public."
The cost to the village will be $84,583.79, representing 25 percent of the total project cost of $338,335.16, with the state picking up 75 percent.
The second category called a cooperative program is divided into two sections of town and the village can work on any targeted roads, Baumann said. The application approved focuses on roads within the Town & Country and Cree Meadows Heights subdivisions. The village's portion will be $115,781.
The two projects also tied into approval by the council to purchase a new bituminous asphalt distributor truck for $163,320.
"This puts the last tool in our tool box for the road department to maintain our paving program and chip sealing program," Baumann said. "Also with this truck, we can use the asphalt waste (to surface) roads that kind of look like paved roads, but are not, but they are black and people like them and its inexpensive for us to do that. We'll be able to get back into that program. We'll no longer have to (bid out) our chip seal programs. With the purchase of our asphalt paver last year, this is the final tool. We have new rollers. With this oil truck, we are ready to rock and roll."
The contract for the truck was awarded to Sierra Machinery, the sole bidder meeting specifications out of 14 companies that inquired, he said.
"This will allow us to fog seal any of the roads in town," Baumann said. "Most of the time we had to have oil imported into Ruidoso by a tanker truck, but with this 2,000 gallon truck, we can run to Artesia and pick up a load ourselves and come in and do some of these smaller projects without contracting any of it."
Pothole patching remains a daily priority, he said. On cold days, a crew goes out with cold mix and fills holes.
"We're trying to keep people from tearing up their cars, but it won't last long once a road grader or so comes back over it," he said. "When the weather warms up, we have two options. If we can fire up our hot plant and make hot mix. It is something that will stay there (when patched). Or a crew shoots oil in there and add chips until it is filled back up. We've had several successes. It's really working. It takes a lot of time to do it, but if you don't have to do it twice, it is time well spent."
The street department under Director Fred Payton has filled 50 to 60 potholes in the last couple weeks, he said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The number of Ohioans 50 and younger winding up in the hospital with COVID-19 has jumped over the last two months, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said Tuesday.
"The bottom line is that we're seeing our highest levels ever of hospitalizations among those under 50 years old. The clear difference between these younger Ohioans and older Ohioans is the rate of vaccination," he said during a coronavirus press briefing.
DeWine was joined by Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff as well as Dr. Alan Rivera with the Fulton County Health Center among other medical professionals dealing with the pandemic. All painted a similar picture of overwhelmed facilities with patients who are younger and generally sicker than seen in the pandemic's earlier stages.
Here is a breakdown of what was discussed.
On Tuesday, the Ohio Department of Health reported:
- 6,814 new cases of coronavirus, compared to the 21-day average of 6,572
- 459 new hospitalizations, compared to the 21-day average of 233
- 47 new ICU admissions, compared to the 21-day average of 21
- 125 new coronavirus-related deaths, compared to the 21-day average of 35
DeWine noted that Tuesday's 459 newly reported hospitalizations mark the highest 24-hour jump since January. He also said that more and more of Ohio's younger population are being admitted to the hospital with COVID-19.
During the week of Sept. 5, 239 people aged 39 and younger were hospitalized with the virus, a stark difference from the 32 documented during the week of July 4.
The current surge is being largely attributed to the highly contagious delta variant.
Terri Alexander, a nurse with Summa Health in Akron, said that right away her team could tell they were dealing with something different as delta started to gain prominence. She said patients were coming in sicker and staying sick longer.
"It's just a sad, sad situation that we're dealing with and I think everyone here is just emotionally exhausted," she said.
The solution, DeWine said, is to get more people vaccinated, as younger Ohioans are getting vaccinated at a lower rate than those over the age of 50. Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff jumped in on that point, saying that those who are unvaccinated are putting themselves at a greater risk of infection.
"If you are young and unvaccinated it's now probably only a question of when, not if, you get COVID-19. When you get COVID-19 without the protection of a vaccine, there is a very real risk you'll end up in the hospital or the obituary pages," Vanderhoff said.
Though many young adults are opting out of vaccination, the next phase could soon be on its way.
On Monday, Pfizer representatives said a recent trial found the company's COVID-19 vaccine to be effective in children ages 5-11. They are expected to petition for emergency use authorization from the FDA in the near future.
As the vaccine is expected to become available in the coming months for Ohio's youngest population, DeWine said his team is considering more vaccine incentives, though he did not elaborate on what those may look like.
Dr. Alan Rivera with the Fulton County Health Center joined in on Tuesday's briefing, saying the rural county is in a "crisis mode."
A major part of that, he said, is a staffing shortage.
Rivera said staffing in Fulton County is down about 50% compared to this time last year. Many nurses are leaving the industry or are retiring early as shifts become longer and the ongoing pandemic has put an emotional strain on those who do stick around, he told the governor.
At the same time staff is dwindling, case numbers are on the rise.
Rivera explained this combination has a ripple effect that impacts everyone, including those who go to the hospital with non-COVID issues.
For example, all Lucas County hospitals went on bypass at the same time last week, leading some patients from the area to be sent to Fulton County. However, the health center didn't have adequate beds because there were not enough staff to take care of those patients. Patients were then boarded into the emergency department and staying for two to three days, but the department is only equipped with 15 beds.
A big problem is that with COVID patients, they are staying for longer periods of time - often from two to three weeks. But when the hospital has an admission or two being added on every day, it doesn't give them the capability to then deal with patients coming in with acute appendicitis or heart failure.
Rivera detailed a situation he dealt with last week, in which a patient came in with renal failure. The small, rural health center does not have a nephrologist on staff. However, with all area hospitals full, there was no place to send them. As they worked to manage the patient's condition and continued to search, the situation got dire and the patient ultimately chose the route of Hospice care as they realized there was no way they would be able to get to a nephrologist.
"We are doing best we can, but we are crying for help from the community; help us help you by getting vaccinated," he said.
Rivera said the best way to help these hospitals that are overwhelmed is to practice prevention.
"We need people who could potentially not require hospitalization to get vaccinated. Vaccination is the best prevention we have against further hospitalization," he said.
The majority of the patients with COVID-19 in the Fulton County Health Center, Rivera said, are unvaccinated.

Written by Yamini Aiyar, Shrayana Bhattacharya & Lant Pritchett
Across successive governments, India has emerged as a pioneer in building digital tools to improve program governance at the state and national levels. Has all this technology helped? Robust evidence is mixed and limited.
Leveraging technology platforms for effective program delivery poses unique challenges. For citizens, the use of new tech-savvy tools can be alienating and intimidating. Using technology requires learning new ways to make demands and withdraw benefits, and new norms and modes of local behaviour.
Tech-optimists suggest that problems faced by local governments and citizens in using technology which manifest in reports of delays and exclusion due to poor infrastructure and connectivity are teething pains — side-effects of the transition to digital ways of interacting with government.
Others fear that the side-effect could become the outcome, seeing the rapid deployment of new technologies as attacks on past improvements in delivery and giving rise to new forms of corruption.
Should the state curb its enthusiasm for tech? Three design principles are key if technology is to truly and effectively help transform India's social protection systems.
* First, technology must be seen as a tool, not a solution. We need to be clear-eyed about what problem we expect a particular technology to solve, and consistently assess the efficacy of the tools deployed. Solutions such as Aadhaar and Direct Benefit Transfers (DBTs) are often touted as gamechangers for Indian social protection. Are they? Depends — what problem are they solving? If the problem is payment leakages emerging from "ghosts" or fake beneficiaries siphoning off monies, then as some early studies indicate, Aadhaar and DBT can make some difference.
However, evaluated from the perspective of inclusion and citizen satisfaction, the evidence paints a different picture. In particular, the role of Aadhaar in delivering benefit transfers has come under significant academic, legal and civil society scrutiny for privacy concerns, delayed payments, and triggering exclusion through authentication failures. Recent process assessments from Union Territories where governments are transferring food subsidies through electronic cash payments highlight the significant challenges posed by limited financial literacy and banking networks, even in urbanised environments.
Importantly, what Aadhaar-enabled digital payments cannot do is ensure that benefits reach the most needy citizen. The 2019 Budget announced the widely debated PM-KISAN scheme for farmers. But how will administrators identify and prioritise the small and marginalised farmers for whom the scheme is intended?
Reviews of various programs highlight how exclusion continues to plague cash transfer programs such as social pensions in India. Identification of the poor whom the social protection system seeks to prioritise has historically been problematic in India due to the poor design and execution of the BPL system. While biometrically authenticated DBTs can verify if a certain person received a certain amount with maximum accuracy and minimum leakage, these tools cannot tell us if the person receiving the benefit is most in need of it. Aadhaar is proof of identity, not eligibility or priority. DBT can only provide a secure pipeline to transfer payments. Neither solves questions on who should be given greater priority for transfers. The problem of eligibility determination requires a very different set of interventions such as social registries. Without clearly identifying the problem, we can't analyse performance of technology tools — as these are simply enablers, parts of a larger solution.
* Second, while technology is seen as a tool to enhance state capabilities, the effective use of technology requires a far more capable state. In social protection, a core motivation underpinning many tech-based reforms is the idea of removing the human interface from the delivery landscape by making processes as automated as possible. This idea is rooted in how Indian policymaking often casts 'last-mile' cadres as apathetic — powerful, corrupt entities who barely show up to work, are indifferent to the needs of citizens, dispense patronage, and use power for personal gain. Yet the experience with various IT innovations suggests that the skill sets, capabilities, and size of the local bureaucracy is critical to ensuring benefit transfer systems are inclusive, timely and citizen-friendly.
For example, within many poor states in India, the challenge of implementing electronic payments through DBT is exacerbated by weak last-mile capacities, reliance on paper registers in view of poor presence of reliable banking outlets in the interior rural areas. The four crucial steps to undertake DBT — digitising beneficiary databases, collecting the correct and functional financial address of a person, seeding the beneficiary database with identification information, and ensuring mechanisms which deliver payments to beneficiaries without exclusion or delays — are fairly transaction-intensive and non-trivial. Camps have to be organised, citizen information and consent for data sharing must be sought, program users need to be informed and counselled, bank accounts and identification proofs need to be produced — all these tasks require various agencies to coordinate at the local level.
In various states, private players and state IT cadres have emerged to support routinised aspects of this work such as data entry, system development, and digitisation. However, tackling citizen claims and disputes on personal authentication, financial address information, payment settlements, and other technology related pain-points rest with an understaffed, unmotivated, and overtasked Panchayat and block office.
Given the hetereogeneity across India's villages and cities, identifying problems clearly requires a state that is able to deliberate with local stakeholders, while capturing and absorbing citizen feedback. Countries such as Brazil and Mexico have invested in large cadres of social workers for case management and citizen interface. So, technology changes the requirements for human resources, but does not make the need for strong local staff obsolete.
* Third, policy makers need to be mindful of the new power asymmetries created by the use of technology. Programmers, government IT agencies, and system developers are increasingly powerful in the new tech-savvy welfare state. These agencies hold vast amounts of private data on transactions and attributes. At the same time, the very language, nature, and production of technology makes it opaque and distant from ordinary citizens, thus less tractable to local politics and activism.
Many of us are often bewildered at the acronyms and terminology used in discussions on social programs. While you can perhaps find the truck driver who has diverted the PDS ration truck and agitate against local shopkeepers or Panchayat officials, fighting against weak connectivity, a slow computer, or a malfunctioning point-of-sale device is an alien concept for many Indians. If you thought your local Panchayat official was corrupt, you can complain to his superiors or politicians. But complaints triggered by misuse or errors in the use of tech tools can be difficult to pick up, comprehend and process, even for the three of us, much more for citizens unfamiliar with technology.
Thus, it's critical that governments invest in methods to balance these asymmetries. Robust regulation and legal regimes, which are a main focus of the debate in India following the Aadhaar judgment, are only part of the solution. These laws must be complemented by systems that allow citizens to query and update their information through online and offline methods. For example, clearly codified data exchange, privacy and consent frameworks, are necessary prerequisites to safeguard largescale collation of private data. This also requires building systems that can help channel and absorb feedback from citizens and local administrators into the design process for tech tools.
Reaping maximum gains from digital resources needs complementary and fairly sophisticated investments in regulation, laws, and human resources. After all, program governance involves deeply political and peopled landscapes; these can't be engineered in a social vacuum.

For the second season in succesion the Dons were knocked out of the league cup on penalties at Pittodrie. It was St Mirren who were victors on this occasion- winning 4-2 on spot kicks after the game had ended 2-2 after extra time. The long wait for a trophy at Pittodrie goes on...
For this one Craig Brown made two changes from the side that started against Dundee with Josh Magennis and Jonny Hayes starting in place of Chris Clark and Ryan Fraser. This saw Isaac Osbourne return to midfield.
The Dons started brightly and created a few chances in the opening stages of the game. Niall McGinn had an early chance before Jonny Hayes won a corner kick after a good run down the right. The corner from Hayes was touched towards goal by Russell Anderson and Sampson palmed away before McAusland had to block Osbourne's effort on the rebound on 2 minutes.
It was St Mirren who took the lead though after 6 minutes. A cross by Imrie was met by Thompson whose header crashed off the bar and after Langfield had touched it onto the bar but Sam Parkin nodded in the first goal of the game.
The home side tried to respond and a McGinn cross was held well by Sampson before Scott Vernon's effort was blocked by McAusland. A short time later, a fantastic move by Aberdeen saw McGinn find Hayes who passed to Osbourne. Unfortunatley his chip over the top was a little too strong for Stephen Hughes who didnt have the pace to catch it.
Scott Vernon got the Dons level on 21 minutes- taking advantage of some slack goalkeeping by Samson. After a Hayes corner and another McAusland clearence, Vernon rose above the defence to head past the flaling goalkeeper and restore parity in the game.
Aberdeen looked to capitalise further and McGinn was next to have an effort at goal while Hayes continued to get the better of the St Mirren right back, Dummet who was struglling against the former Inverness player. Another fine cross from McGinn into the box went unrewarded when no red shirted payers were there to touch the ball into net.
At the other end Langfield had to punch away a Jim Goodwin free kick which looked like it might creep in at the keepers' left hand post.
A fantastic interception by Clark Robertson set Stephen Hughes off on a long run but the momentum ran out of the attack and Hughes fired his cross out of play. Langfield then had to make anoher save from Dougie Imrie as St Mirren again threatened on the break and McLean also fired in a shot that took a deflection and went out for a corner.
After the break the Dons started well and Magennis forced Sampson into an early save before there were appeals from the Red Army for a penalty as Thompson and Vernon clashed in the box but referee Crawford Allan waived play on. Samson was then forced into two saves in close succesion as the Buddies began to sit deeper in their own half.
A cross from Issac Osbourne was flciked on by Vernon but no one was there to take advantage for Aberdeen as the ball flashed across the front of goal. The same happened again a short while later, this time McGinn with the cross into a fantastic position. There was a reminder for the Dons of the Saints threat on the break when a shot from Thompson had to be saved by Langfield.
The Dons didn't heed the warning though and it was St Mirren who took the lead again on 69 minutes with a stunning strike. A long ball deflected off Russell Anderson and landed at the feet of Kenny McLean just outside the box and he unleashed a magnificent curling shot into the back of the net leaving Langfield helpless. The keeper had no chance with either goal.
Aberdeen, roared on by the Red Army, responded well to another set back and Gavin Rae eventually won a corner after a good run into the visitors' box but they could't take advanage. Scott Vernon was replaced by Ryan Fraser as Craig Brown shuffled the pack to try and get his side back into the game then Clark Robertson was replaced by Cammy Smith on 82minutes.
A good free kick from Hayes was delfelcted wide for a corner which came to no aviail while at the other end, Steven Thompson headed against the post and the Dons cleared. Then just as it looked like the Dons would be dumped out of the cup, Josh Magennis (by now playing up front) scored after Cammy Smith's shot had been blocked in the second minute of stoppage time.
In the first period of extra time, Ryan Fraser was again influential. Firstly his pass found Cammy Smith who in turn found McGinn but the Northern Irishman dragged his shot just wide of the far post. Then Paul Dummet became the 15th player to be booked for fouling Fraser as once again the youngster got the better of a defender.
Mark Reynolds had a shot which hit the side neting before a great cross from Fraser had to be headed behind for a corner with Camy Smith lurking inside the box. Smith did have a shot at Sampson a short time later but the goalkeeper made a comfortable save.
HT in ET 2-2
Gary Naysmith replaced Josh Magennis as the Dons shuffled around again and they continued to threaten the St Mirren goal. Issac Osbourne was another to hit the side netting before Hayes tried to find Smith in the box but the pass was cut out again by the stubborn Saints defence. Persistenet play by McGinn won Aberdeen another corner but like so many others on the night this one was wasted and Sampson held well.
Ryan Fraser was victim to yet another foul for which Van Zanten was booked by referee Allan, although this one didn't seem quite as brutal as some of the rest of the treatment the Dons star has been subjected too. More persistent and inventive play by McGinn won the Dons another corner before St Mirren broke with the games last real attack. Lewis Guy found himself through on goal and having slightly over hit the ball, went down with the presence of Jamie Langfield close by. Referee Allan decided that there was no infringement by the Dons goalie and booked the St Mirren Sub for simulation. Extra time ended with no furher change to the scoreline.
FT in ET 2-2
With the teams unable to be seperated over 120 minutes, the drama of penalties was up next. St Mirren scored their first penalty to put early pressure on the Dons and Stephen Hughes succumbed to the pressure and crashed his penalty off the cross bar. Gary Teale stepped up and scored the visitors' second before Nial McGinn scored a great kick to make it 2-1 St Mirren after 2 penalties each. Jim Goodwin and Jonny Hayes then converted their spot kicks and when McAusland made it 4-2 to St Mirren- Cammy Smith had to score.
Samson saved and the Dons were beaten yet again on penalties and exit the Communities League Cup at the Quarter Final stage. A positive response is now required in Dingwall to continue their superb run in the SPL and make up for the undoubted disappointment for fans, players and staff at Pittodrie at failing to make it to Hampden.

Ask And Ye Shall Receive
Gender equality could spell the end of female sports in Canada:
As two Winnipeg sisters find out Tuesday if they've made the boys' hockey team at their high school, their recent human-rights victory has spurred boys to try out for girls' sports teams.
"We have to see as a board what we want to do. Our big concern is how this whole thing could affect female participation in sport," he said.
"If we get four guys or five guys going out for the [girls'] basketball team, there's four or five females that won't make the team — and I dare say a bunch of other ones aren't going to compete — and we could end up with some female teams being made up of mostly men.
"We worked very, very hard to promote and build up female participation in sports," Glimcher added.
"Everything that our organization has done … is based gender-equal. And if we all of a sudden get an influx of males participating, it could affect female participation and that would be a travesty."
Yes, but the boys who might miss out on the hockey team in favour of girls can presumably go and get fucked? Where are all the people concerned about the boys who would obviously miss out on a spot in the boys gymnastics or diving teams?Explore posts in the same categories: Political Correctness, Sport

You failed to mention all the boys wanting places in such manly sports as synchronised swimming Olympic softball. Another case of women going too far. I have no problem with seeing Michelle Wie playing with the men. It's better than the fact that most women golfers play with the women, if you know what I mean.

I enjoyed reading this news report.
I get the impression that there are a lot of men who originally supported the feminist movement on the grounds of "fair go" only to see it become the avaricious power that it is today.
The backlash, or the pedulums swinging is the danger point. I hope that the change is done through the ballot box and not any unfortunate course of action.
A feminist website, Emily.com, adovcates women should only vote for women, this is the prededent that will allow men voting for men.
September 29, 2006 at 4:55 pm
A wise man (I think it was HG Nelson) once said: too much sport is never enough.
Why don't the schools/school districts in question offer both boys' and girls' teams in all these sports? You'd support that Yobbo?
AD: All them wimmin-dominated boardrooms, moneyed professions and judicial benches, the worldwide preponderance of femmynista government ministers and MPs… the avaricious power is ascendant! Dammit! Rwanda now has 49% of its parliament comprised of women, and look what happened there! I rest my case!
September 30, 2006 at 9:13 am
One thing that strikes me as odd is that no-where in the article was the idea of a "mixed" team suggested – only male teams with females in it and vice versa.
October 2, 2006 at 7:29 pm
oops, I misread the article — I thought it was an issue of the girls/boys not having a team of their own gender provided/supported by the school, in which case it seems vaguely reasonable for them to apply for the only existing team.

Applies to: Nerdio Manager for MSP (NMM) v2.0+
To begin using AppAttach in NMM you need to create a VHD(X) package containing the MSIX application. The process for creating such packages is documented here.
You will need the following items to get started:
- VHD(X) file containing the MSIX application - this is a file that you create (or obtain from app publisher) that is ready to be used for AppAttach.
- Application name - this is the name of the application as seen by Windows when it is installed. It is typically provided by the application publisher. As an example, Notepad++ app name is NotepadPP_184.108.40.206_x64__gz1by593hb2dw.
- Parent folder name - this is the name of the folder in the VHD(X) file that contains the expanded MSIX application. It is provided by the application publisher or something that you specify when creating the VHD(X) package.
- Volume GUID - VHD(X) packages are mounted on the AVD session host VMs as virtual disks and have GUIDs associated with them. This is something that is provided by the creator of the VHD(X) package.
- (Optional) Certificate - each VHD(X) package is signed with a digital cert. If you used a self-signed cert that was used to sign the VHD(X) package you will need to be sure that this cert is installed on the session host VMs. Have the .CER file handy.
To help you get you started, we created a few VHD(X) packages for some popular applications that you can download and start using in your AVD environment for testing purposes.
- Notepad++
- Mozilla Firefox
- Google Chrome
- Slack
Pre-requisites to use MSIX AppAttach with NMM
To get started with publishing MSIX AppAttach applications to your users' AVD sessions with NMM you will need the following four things.
- VHD(X) package with associated information listed above. Feel free to use our sample packages to get started.
- Azure Files share that is integrated with Active Directory and has the proper security configuration. More on this below.
- AVD host pool with session hosts running Windows 10 2004 or newer. MSIX AppAttach is not available in prior versions of Windows 10.
- Nerdio Manager for MSPs version 2.0 or later.
- App attach does not work on Windows 10 1909
Once you've created an Azure Files share and joined it to your AD domain, you must configure security settings on the share to allow session hosts and users to read the contents of the AppAttach packages. With Azure Files, there are two places where these security settings are configured.
- Azure Files Access Control
2. NTFS permissions
In these two places, both the session host VM computer and user who will use the application must have at least reader access. The good news is that the default NTFS permissions on newly created Azure Files shares already have the necessary configuration. However, Azure Files share Access Control still needs to be configured.
Recommended method
This is an easy method to give all current and future session host VMs access to the Azure Files shares.
- In Active Directory, create a new Global Security group in an OU that is being synched to Azure AD with ADConnect
- Add Domain Computers and Domain Users to the new group
- In Azure Portal, find your Azure Files share and go to Access Control
- Add the new security group with Storage File Data SMB Share Reader role (you may need to wait for the next sync cycle for new groups to be available in AzureAD)
The end result will be read-only access to the Azure Files share by all domain users and computers. Feel free to customize the above procedure to suite your organization's security policies.
You can upload MSIX App Attach images or certificates using NMM portal. Follow the steps given below:
- Login to NMM portal and from the main menu, select "Accounts" tab. Select "Manage" option on an account where you want to upload MSIX App Attach images/certificates:
- Inside the account, on the main menu, you will be able to find "MSIX App Attach" tab:
- Expand "MSIX App Attach" tab:
- There are two options under "MSIX App Attach" tab:
Uploading AppAttach VHD(X) packages and assigning users
Once you've added the AppAttach Storage Location on the SETTINGS page, you're ready to upload VHD(X) packages and assign them to users. Go to APPATTACH APPS menu and click Upload.
Once the package is uploaded, click on Assignments next to the app and assign users and groups.
NOTE: users will not see the application until it is assigned to them on this page

Oregon – Day 2 Itinerary & Travel
Hard to believe that I'm just starting Day 2! One of the fun things about keeping a blog or diary of some sort is that you realize how much you really do! And months/years later you can look back and remember in a way that would be impossible by just relying on memory alone.
As I mentioned in the Day 1 entry it rained and stormed most of Friday night and into Saturday morning. My plan had been to spend some time walking on the beach on Saturday but it was just too stormy – even for me. I packed up the car, turned in my yurt key and grabbed a cup of tea at the Nye Beach Café.
Then I hit the road for Corvallis. The road between Newport and Corvallis (Hwy 20) is one of those great windy roads that follows the curves of little creeks and rivers that dot the area. You cross through farmland, go over the Coast Range and back down into the Willamette Valley. When there is a ton of traffic it can be frustrating but on this morning I pretty much had the road to myself.
I got into Corvallis about 9:30 and went straight to the Oregon State (OSU) campus. At that time on a Saturday morning it was very, very quiet. :-) OSU has a really beautiful campus. At this time of year much of it is in bloom. It's filled with cherry and plum trees, and tons of rhododendrons and azaleas. I circled past all my old buildings and took some time to walk around the Memorial Union and the Quad. As would be expected many things have changed since I went to school there but many things seem exactly the same. I spent a little time in the bookstore and picked up some things like the lovely Beaver Mug seen in the photo. :-)
I then toured around town. When I was in school, Corvallis had a population of about 40,000 (it's now about 50,000). With the number of undergraduates at OSU at 20,000 you can understand why everything in town revolved around the university. It still does although there are now some large companies, like Hewlett-Packard, with facilities in the area. "Downtown" is still about the same size but I couldn't find many of the landmarks I remembered. I was specifically looking for a bakery where, for a year, I baked pies and bread for retail sale and to supply the attached restaurant.
I did however come across two places that brought back memories. One is The Beanery on the edge of campus. This was my first "real" coffee shop experience. I notice that they now are a chain with several locations. The second place was a pub called Murphy's. It was on the edge of town, not normally a student hangout, but we bought kegs there as they had great prices. I was once left there as "collateral" when we realized no one had brought a check for the deposit on the keg. Not wanting to mess up the party, I volunteered to stay at the pub until someone could come back with a check. Which thankfully, they actually did! :-) As I was leaving town I drove by it and noticed it is now "Murphy's Family Dining". :-)
Next I headed south back on 99W making my way to Junction City. This was several miles of farmland and lots of baby things: calves, sheep, horses. Also, tons of hawks circling and swooping. I got to my sister's, greeted her family and my Dad, who'd come down the night before. We had a little lunch and then set out for a couple more wineries. We visited:
Next stop – back to the house where we sampled some of our purchases outside on the front patio and had a great dinner my sister prepared, including steak and shrimp kabobs, a unique potato salad and blueberry pie with ice cream!

Swimming and thermoregulation in sharks and tuna
Thunniform swimming depends on a large, lunate tail that is joined to the rest of the body via a narrow peduncle. Whilst the tail flicks backwards and forwards, so propelling the animal, the rest of the body hardly moves sideways.
Flying through the air on a summer's evening or sparkling in the ocean you may see magical flashes of light that signal some of nature's most enchanting creatures, those that are bioluminescent.

Cichlids are one of the cause celebré of evolution, and rightly so because these freshwater fish show a remarkable diversity and exemplify many key aspects of adaptive radiation. But why so successful? The answer lies in the versatility of the jaws (and yes, they are convergent).
Lateral line system in fish and other animals
Some cavefish are completely blind, so how do they manage to navigate through their environment with astonishing ease?
Pufferfish (and inflation)
Pufferfish are some of the most extraordinary fish to have evolved, especially because of their capacity to swallow water and inflate themselves to something like a football. Not only that but some representatives can be deadly to the unwary diner...
Suction feeding in fish, amphibians, reptiles and aquatic mammals
Probably everyone is familiar with the walrus, but did you know that it generates a vacuum in its mouth to suck clams out of their shells? And this is just one example of suction feeding, the feeding mode typically used by bony fish…
Teeth in aquatic reptiles
Aquatic reptiles tend to display one of three dentition types, well adapted to either seize and slice large vertebrate prey, pierce and gouge slippery fish, or entrap small prey such as crustaceans.
Durophagy (hard prey-eating) in fish
Plenty of animals have an extraordinary capacity to crush hard prey and this has evolved independently many times in the vertebrates. If you suspect it is a durophage, watch your fingers!
Mammal-like placentation in skinks (and fish)
"Only two types of vertebrates [have] evolved a reproductive pattern in which the chorioallantoic placenta provides the nutrients for fetal development. One is [...] the eutherian mammals […], and the other, a few lineages of the family Scincidae." A.F. Flemming (2003) J Exp Zool 299A 33-47
Viviparity in sauropterygians
"The [fossilised] embryos are mostly in articulation and their distribution on each side indicates that female Keichousaurus hui had a pair of oviducts as in ichthyosaurs and many extant lizards." Y. Cheng et al. (2003) Nature vol. 432, p.383
Viviparity in mosasaurs
An exceptionally preserved gravid female of the aigalosaur Carsosaurus contains at least at least four advanced embryos […] Their orientation suggests that they were born tail-first […] to reduce the possibility of drowning, an adaptation shared with other other highly aquatic amniotes" M.W. Caldwell & M.S.Y. Lee (2001) Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B, vol. 268, p.2397
Viviparity in ichthyosaurs
"For me, the fossil is a transporting piece of evidence. It shows a female ichthyosaur that died late in pregnancy or perhaps while giving birth; the baby was entombed with its mother in the mud." J. Rennie (2000) Scientific American, vol. 283(6), p.8
Viviparity in lizards, snakes and mammals
"In over 100 lineages of […] squamates, the oviduct has been recruited for viviparous gestation of the embryos, representing a degree of evolutionary convergence that is unparalleled in vertebrate history." D. G. Blackburn (1998) Journal of Experimental Zoology, vol.282, p.560
Electric fish: insights into convergence
Ever seen an electric eel in an aquarium? Don't dare putting your hand in the tank...
Dolphin communication, cognition and sociality
Dolphins are one of the most intriguing sources of evolutionary convergence, having cognitive abilities that seem to find many parallels in the great apes, and rather remarkably even extend to tool use.
Electroreception in fish, amphibians and monotremes
From an evolutionary point of view, electroreception is particularly intriguing as a sense modality that has been repeatedly lost and reinvented again.

Where To Buy a Face Mask in Toronto
Why do I Need a Face Mask?Some people feel confused as to whether or not they should be wearing non medical face masks in the Toronto area right now. The Canadian Government and the CDC have put out recommendations that everyone should be wearing cloth masks when they go out into areas of the public where it may be more difficult to practice safe social distancing, like grocery stores or pharmacies. Wearing a mask can help protect you from exposure to unwanted particles, like exhaled particles from people who are sick with COVID-19 or another virus. They can also help protect the transmission to others from yourself if you are not feeling well. One of the main ways that coronavirus has been spreading is through droplets that are expelled from the mouths of those who are infected. So, using face coverings over your mouth and nose area is a smart idea to reduce your risk of exposure.
Where Can I Buy Face Masks in Toronto?At Chronic Ink Tattoo - in Toronto and Vancouver - our artists wanted to produce cloth face masks that you would be proud to wear when you have to go outside. Featuring one of a kind art our Chronic Ink washable and reuseable surgical style face masks will help you to protect your nose and mouth area from exposure to unwanted contaminants. Our masks are available in both adult sizes as well as sizing specifically for kids' face masks.
Are Face Masks in Style?Although it may be a trend that has been brought in by necessity, we do see that Fashionable Face Masks are on-trend right now. We all want a little style with our prevention, and our artists have realized that these medical masks can make a great canvas for their artwork.
How Much Is a Face Mask in Toronto?With the current push in the public health sector for people to wear masks, the costs for disposable medical masks, surgical masks and n95 masks have risen drastically. Some people have resorted to making masks themselves due to the pricing and general lack of availability. At Chronic Ink, we are working with our supplies to ensure our masks are as reasonably priced as possible. Currently, our washable face masks range from $20-45.
How Often Should Reusable Face Mask be Washed?Ideally, your face mask will be washed each time it is worn outside. Doing this will ensure that it is clean every time you place it on your face as particles and debris may linger on the fabric if it is not cleaned.
How To Wear a Cloth Face Covering?
- It should fit snugly to your face, but still, be comfortable
- It should be secured to your face with ear straps
- It should include multiple layers of fabric for protection and filtration
- It should not restrict your breathing at all
- Always remember to launder your mask after use so that it remains clean. Using a disinfecting cycle is recommended if possible.
How To Put on a Cloth Face Mask?
- Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching your face or mask.
- Remove your mask from its packaging and inspect it for any rips, tears, or holes that may affect the ability to protect you.
- Holding the mask by the ear loops, place the earloops behind your ears.
- Pull the bottom of the mask over your mouth and chin, ensuring the mask is fully covering your nose and mouth area.
How To Remove a Cloth Face Mask?
- Rember, just like putting the mask on, you should always wash your hands with soap and water before removing your mask as you may touch your face.
- Hold both ear loops and remove the loops from behind your ears.
- If you have disposable masks throw them in the garbage, if your mask is reusable, put it in the laundry to be cleaned.
- After removing your mask, please remember to re-wash your hands with soap and water.

ESC Students Embrace Time to Change!
Date: 28 April 2022
Students from a variety of departments at East Surrey College came together to experience impactful workshops exploring mental health by Time to Change Surrey.
Time to Change Surrey is a campaign and programme to raise awareness and reduce the stigma around mental health.
Professional actors gave powerful, interactive performances, acting out scenarios on topics that are very prevalent amongst students at the moment. These included post-pandemic stress, tutor-to-student relationships, peer pressure surrounding drugs, and anxiety.
|Students watching the performance about post-pandemic stress
|Professional actors displaying signs of post-pandemic stress
Enrichment & Wellbeing Officer, Harvey Kellard, commented:
"After what has felt like a crazy two years, this has been a great opportunity for students and tutors alike to learn more about these ongoing and important issues."
The workshops were a fantastic opportunity for students to get involved and say how they would like to be treated in these situations. For tutors, they gave a fascinating insight into how students are feeling about these topics.
At the end of the sessions, students were invited to stand. They were then asked to sit down if they had no mental health worries or didn't know anyone with them either. No one sat down – a moving illustration of young people's mental health today.
|Professional actors with our students at the end of the session

PUTRAJAYA — the Malaysian administrative capital — is on a journey towards sustainability and enhancing the city as a tourist destination.
The Covid-19 pandemic may have disrupted many planned events to commemorate its silver jubilee milestone, which fell on Aug 29 last year, but the city's achievements speak for themselves.
Perbadanan Putrajaya (PPj) president Datuk Muhammad Azmi Mohd Zain said Putrajaya was known for its elegance as well as its numerous immaculate government buildings, wide boulevards, impressive bridges and pockets of greenery.
"All ministries and government departments that were previously located in Kuala Lumpur had moved to Putrajaya, except for the Defence Ministry, International Trade and Industry Ministry and Public Works Department.
"There are plenty of green spaces — which is 40% of the 4,931ha city — for outdoor activities, and the Putrajaya Lake serves as a spot for water-based activities.
"Putrajaya is also a hotspot for national and international events with a record of between 120 and 250 events annually," he added.
Shifting focus
The next phase, Muhammad Azmi said, would focus on improving administrative efficiency within PPj, besides the environment, tourism, lifestyle of the city's residents as well as sustainability and service delivery, as stipulated in the Putrajaya Strategic Plan 2021-2025.
He said the city, with a population of 120,000 people comprising mostly civil servants and their families, was targeted to increase up to 350,000 people in the next 25 years while injecting more diversity.
"A dynamic population translates to better purchasing power that will further contribute to the city's growth.
"Therefore, we need to highlight Putrajaya's greatness and offerings while attracting more people to make this city their home.
"We are also striving to carve a name for Putrajaya as a world-class, sustainable administrative capital, and we have rolled out many smart and green initiatives over the past years," he said.
Green city
PPj has kicked off many green initiatives in its pursuit of a targeted reduction in carbon emissions, which it aims to achieve by 2025.
Muhammad Azmi said the organisation implemented low-carbon initiatives, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals promoted by the United Nations, in preparation for Putrajaya Green City 2025.
He revealed the seven focal areas — city planning and building; integrating nature into the urban fabric; transportation and mobility; energy usage; water usage; solid waste management; as well as city administration and management.
"The pandemic has not dampened our green efforts, including those that involve the community.
"For example, we have been conducting energy management training online.
"The Putrajaya Green Initiative Award (AIH Putrajaya), which began last year to recognise and reward city dwellers' green initiatives, continues this year too.
"We want the people to embrace a green lifestyle," he said.
Muhammad Azmi said PPj also focused on projects that would reduce the city's carbon footprint.
"Work is underway for the improvement of pedestrian walkways, bicycle lanes, the installation of bicycle access ramps at two Putrajaya bridges, retrofitting and installation of energy-saving lamps and the full operation of a new recycling innovation facility.
"Other than that, special education materials on green practices and a climate change adaptation programme for primary school children such as the Putrajaya Green Folio book and the Putrajaya Children Eco Stories series have been produced under the GreenROSE@Putrajaya Programme.
"For the adult and senior citizen groups, there is the CAREton@Putrajaya programme, which is based on the concept of circular economy.
"The programme aims to reduce solid waste such as used beverage cartons (UBC) and further develop green technology products based on UBC."
He said that since 2012, the city had also maintained its sustainable city status, based on the Murninet (Malaysian Urban Indicators Network) Sustainable City Index.
Last year was the second time Putrajaya came in third in the Murninet city/municipality category from over 100 local authorities that took part, he added.
Smart city
Seven bases are referred to in the city's smart initiatives, namely transportation and mobility; home and environment; government services; smart infrastructure and utilities; safety and security; economy; and community.
Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, about half of the targets in the Putrajaya Smart City 2020 Blueprint were successfully implemented by the end of last year, said Muhammad Azmi.
He noted that the most successful initiative was the government services with over 90% completion in moving governance-related matters onto a digital platform. "A notable achievement was the award-winning One-Stop Centre 3.0 Monitoring System, which enables all processes involving the issuance of development orders to be done digitally.
"The Putrajaya Command Centre (PCC) run by PPj is another thing we take pride in.
"Being a safety control centre, it is also used by the police, Hospital Putrajaya, Putrajaya Fire and Rescue Department and the Putrajaya Civil Defence Force to monitor safety, emergency response and traffic control, among others.
"It has been very useful, especially since the start of the movement control order, and has been in operation round the clock," he said.
Muhammad Azmi highlighted that last year alone, over 60km of fibre-optic cables were added to the city's network.
These, he elaborated, would be connected to closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras and panic buttons that would be installed at strategic spots within the city, as well as the PCC and other agencies.
"Usage of Intelligent Video Analytics, which automatically alerts the PCC of any danger, will be widened.
"Since last year, PCC staff had started disseminating information via push notifications on the Putrajaya mobile app and Centralised Electronic Bulletin Board," he said.
PCC also recently added a new agency partner, Road and Transport Department, as part of a road safety advocation programme.
In collaboration with Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Telekom Malaysia, PPj has developed Distributed Radio Access Network in multiple sites to increase mobile network quality to up to 100Mbps by 2022 and improve connectivity.
PPj also plans to increase the number of smart CCTV cameras to 1,000 units by 2025.
In addition, 5G network and services, set up in collaboration with Digital Nasional Bhd, will be ready by 2022.
Clean city
Putrajaya is also recognised as one of the cleanest cities in the region, having earned the Asean Clean Tourist City Standard award twice, in 2018-2020 and 2020-2022.
Vying for the award for the third time next year, Muhammad Azmi said PPj was hopeful that the city would continue to receive the recognition.
He said the award was given to South-East Asian cities that emphasised on beautifying public places, improving its environment and waste management, maintaining sustainability and enhancing tourists' experience, among others.
There were seven indicators weighed in for the award, he said, namely environmental management, cleanliness, waste management, promotion of civic awareness, green spaces, safety and tourism.
"PPj has also implemented and enforced the usage of biodegradable products and banned the usage of polystyrene, single-use plastic bags and straws.
"Receiving the international award again will definitely strengthen the city's name as one of the sustainable cities in the world and a tourist destination of choice," said Muhammad Azmi.
Recreation and leisureWhile Putrajaya has a lot of water bodies, greenery and beautiful architecture, it is still facing challenges in terms of tourists.
Muhammad Azmi said tourists were defined as visitors who stayed in the city for at least one night.
"The city welcomed many visitors during the pre-pandemic days, but not tourists.
"We want to change that. So our tourism products need to be intensified and diversified, to suit their tastes.
He added, "One way of putting Putrajaya on the map is by hosting national and international events. That will inadvertently promote our beautiful lake, parks and iconic buildings, which in turn will boost the local economy and attract the locals."
PPj is also serious about promoting cycling.
Muhammad Azmi said besides an 18km bicycle lane that was being tested on the roads, PPj also had 10 other routes for leisure cyclists to explore, three of which were categorised as scenic paths.
"These scenic trails are non-strenuous, perfect for families and people of all ages, with a majority of the route passing the Putrajaya promenade.
"These trails will be complemented by 12 pit stops, including a main one at PitStop@Floria for rest and toilet breaks, as well as directional signage to plan the ride," he added.

AbstractNew Anionic Annulation Reactions and Anion Accelerated Amino-Cope Rearrangement. This dissertation compiles asymmetric anionic reactions of chiral Ellman sulfinyl imines and dienolates to access diverse nitrogen-containing compounds. Chiral sulfinimines and dienolates derived from 𝛾-bromocrotonates reacted diastereoselectively forming 3-pyrrolines and 𝑐𝑖𝑠-vinyl aziridines via a formal [3+2]-annulation and vinylogous 𝑎𝑧𝑎-Darzens reactions respectively. Concise asymmetric syntheses of three natural products have been achieved demonstrating the power of the [3+2]-methodology. Reaction of conjugated sulfinimines with enolates derived from non-halogen containing crotonates, were found to undergo a tandem diastereoselective α,α-addition, and anionic [3,3]-rearrangement affording vinylogous amide products. Synthesis of aromatic imines via 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ) initiated oxidative aromatization highlights the synthetic value of the accelerated anion amino-Cope rearrangement.

Mother Barista ♥ Encouragement To Have Faith Your Intuition
Good afternoon! I hope you're having a positive and elevated day. Today I want to encourage you to follow your intuition. Personally, I see intuition as being apart of our subconscious. It is that that controls our dreams. When we sleep, we are submerged into it. In our subconscious, we are confronted with our greatest desires and our worst fears. It is there where we are confronted with our truths. Regardless of what we tell our reflections and what we tell others. Regardless of the deception that we speak and hear. Your intuition cannot be deceived. Yes, intuition can be defeated in the battle, but it will always win the war. We can ignore it and fight it tooth and nail. We can go against our best judgments. Inevitably, that feeling that held strong in our gut, our instincts, our intuition, that is what will be. The sooner you are able to have faith in your intuition, in your deeper self, in your truth, the sooner you will transcend. And the sooner you transcend above the world. The sooner you elevate and rise above all physically boundaries, the sooner you will manifest your purpose, and live.
Have a positive and elevated day.

(Photo: Since last winter, it's been a wild ride on a Lake Shore Drive express bus.)
The easiest jollies for eligible Chicagoans can be found on any Lake Shore Drive northbound express bus. If your knees and your bottom can stand it.
It's become a fact of life on every 140-something articulated express bus between Michigan Avenue and points nearer to the Arctic Circle (we downtowners peg that chilly latitude starting somewhere near Devon). From Belmont Avenue northward, the crowd on the CTA's long bendy buses positively bounces.
Thanks to Old Man Winter, who is obviously a dirty letch, a series of gravity-defying potholes has graced the northern end of Lake Shore Drive since the roadway heaved off its yard-thick coating of arctic ice and thawed out for the season.
As many a rider already knows, CTA drivers plying a busload of yuppies up and down the lakefront for a living tend to see things like potholes, speed limits, and vehicles in adjacent lanes as opportunities to ease the existential boredom of spending a lifetime plying a busload of yuppies up and down the lakefront.
Riders know this from the sore bottoms and bruised shins received from many a CTA express bus driver's decision to evilly grin and bear down on the perilously potholed northbound Lake Shore Drive Oak Street underpass at speed. (And don't think the State of Illinois has gotten around to repairing this sorry stretch of Route 41 in more than a year's time, either).
But that Swiss cheesed macadam is peanuts compared to the surface-of-the-moon badlands that has become Lake Shore Drive between Belmont and Hollywood. Recently riding in the rear half of a few bendy buses to experience North Side life, I was happy not to lose my own life as one jarring road hole after another repeatedly separated every seated bottom and standing foot from any contact with an actual piece of the bus by measurable margins.
Which brings us the leaping ladies of Lake Shore Drive. After particularly piqued pothole propulsion, heavier-set gentlemen, like Yours Truly, and matronly madams tend to come back to earth in much the same place as they left it. However, for more diaphanous females–the wispier women, slenderer sisters, and less-meaty mothers among the CTA's ridership–outright levitation is more the norm.
Imagine my surprise aboard a speedy 147 bus as I headed for Friday night's monthly Gapers Block get-together at Moody's Pub in Edgewater when, somewhere in the vicinity of Lake Shore and Roscoe, a young mom with a lovely son cradled in her arms came floating by, sideways, as if carried lazily along in the hidden stream of some midair river.
We waved to each other as she passed, as much out of amazement as simple good Midwestern manners, but before I witnessed her touchdown, I came nose to nose with the young Asian girl who was, at least until a markedly bombastic bump, seated across the aisle from me. I had been stealing glances at her 3G iPhone, so it was quite the convenience to get a close-up look at it. I told her I hoped it was still working as she plummeted to the ground somewhere around Addision.
It was the double piroutte that the long-legged ebony Diva next to me did upon being launched out of her seat as we passed Montrose Harbor, though, that garnered applause from the entire back half of the bus. So impressed was everyone, as soon as the violent bouncing settled down, we clamored over each other to be the first to pry the poor woman up off of the floor.
Apologies would come as we left the Drive at Foster. "I'm sorry I landed on your foot." "Forgive me for taking out your latte with my landing." Or my personal favorite said within earshot: "I'm sorry I bounced up and down on you all the way up the lakefront."
Unless Illinois DOT finds the wherewithal to act fast, with so little of summer left before the icy tendrils of another Great Lakes winter tighten their grip on the capital of the middle of America, the ride on a CTA Lake Shore Drive bendy bus can only get worse before anything gets better.
I don't know how much deeper the potholes on Lake Shore can get, but if those ladies get any more airborne, the cash-strapped CTA might consider charging a premium fare on these routes. I can see it now: ad wraps on the sides of bendy buses publicizing this lasciviously acrobatic aspect of Second City public transit; trapezes and safety nets installed inside.
Prurient minded Chicagoans might better prefer the CTA to install seatbelts. Or, as a last resort, to wrap the offending buses in plain brown paper bags.

Munich Nightlife, Germany
Nightlife in Munich is something you should not miss at all. The locale around the Munchener Freiheit is a well-known nightlife place with its countless cafes, bars, restaurants, dance clubs, jazz venues and horde of students and young people, particularly on Occamstrasse. Then, Haidhausen brings much more alternative sight. The Glockenbachviertel, found along Sendlinger Tor, is the center of gay view. Close by are a number of trendy bars along the streets that glow with Gartnerplatz.
Drink & Enjoy
Want to drink the night away? Munich takes pride in its array of clubs and bars that suits your own taste although the entrance fee and the drink prices could be surprisingly high. Bouncers are known here for being especially choosy. The Feierabend discos run between 1800-2200 hours weeknights and is ever more famous with a little older crowd, enjoying to the music of the 60s, 70s and the 80s. If you are looking for hip clubs, ask around, as they are mostly one-offs. The licensing laws in Munich are not preventive. The city's pubs and clubs are open until late night and the legal age of drinking is 18.
Munich Bars & Cafes
Among the nice cafes and bars is the Türkenstrasse, known for the place's links to the sardonic magazine Simplicissimus and retaining a bohemian feel. Tresznjewski, Theresienstrasse gives an imaginative flamboyance. After midnight, by the time it is full up, it turns into an enticing place where the concoctions are something that you can't get enough of. In the uber-hip Gartnerplatz district, cocktails inns like Müllerstrasse, Ksar Club, Holy Home, Reichenbachstrasse, Lizard Lounge and Corneliusstrasse are often jam-packed with hip crowd and make it impossible to grab a seat right away. The News Bar near the Ludwig Maximilian University is a well-liked hangout among students.
At Gartnerplatz, bars such as Morizz, Klenzestrasse, Café Gluck and Palmstrasse, initially opened as chic gay hang-out, were discovered and conquered by straight partygoers.
Searching for the newest trendy gay bars? Go to Mullerstrasse, serving up info and drinks. Kraftakt opens daily and free access of Wi-Fi. Head to Hofbrauhaus, Platz and to Augustiner Gaststatte, Neuhauser Strasse. Well, if you want your beer fresh, have breaks at the vibrant Viktualienmarkt beer garden. Or, head on to Pfalzer Weinprobierstube, Residenzstrasse for a nice choice of German wines as well as a perky ambiance.
Want to go clubbing? Best places are the Alabamahalle, Domagkstrasse with its different clubs in a huge space or Babylon-2, Rosenheimerstrasse, the biggest club in the city, with big, jam-packed dance floors as well as laser shows that's hard to miss.
Far more personal, the Atomic Café, Neuturmstrasse is a hip destination in Munich that features rock and pop music, DJs and live bands. And of course, New York, Sonnenstrasse is an unfailing gay scene. You can also go to Prinzregentenstrasse - an exclusive and luxurious club. Warm up Park-Cafe, Sophienstrasse has lost exclusivity over time.
Just for the Music Lovers
Experience live music at Muffathalle, Zellstrasse. A popular culture spot that offer live music, dance performances and theater. Its cafe offers foods and drinks at day time, turning into a cool and affable venue at night. Furthermore, Nachtcafé, Maximiliansplatz, brings you jazz, rock and blues. Entrance is free, but cocktails and foods are expensive. For western and country feel, go to Rattlesnake Saloon, Schneeglockchenstrasse while dig in to top-notch live jazz at Einsteinstrasse, Jazzkombinat, Unterfahrt im Einstein and Ainmillerstrasse.

City Mission Society has posted information about its annual Christmas Shop. Their press release follows.
For decades, the Boston City Mission Society Christmas Shop has served as a catalyst for people of faith to find ways to reach out to others. CMS's successful Christmas Shop brings hope and joy to children and families in the most need during the holiday season. CMS collects thousands of gift items, which are provided, collected, and sorted by volunteers from dozens of congregations, youth groups, college students, and several businesses. Over 300 volunteers contribute their time to make this program a success. We are also grateful to First Congregational Church in Winchester for their hospitality and generous gift of space to us for the Shop.
These clothes, toys, books, and household goods are then made available to our own Homelessness Prevention clients. In addition, we work with several other community partners who receive a portion of these donations and distribute them to their own clients. More than 4,000 people were served by this program in 2010.
Each year, people's generosity is only matched by their genuine enthusiasm for participating in the giving and volunteering that is essential to the Shop's success. The best stories of holiday giving are about hundreds of people who reach into their hearts, their pocketbooks, and their personal time to give and unconditionally care about people they have never met through the CMS Christmas Shop.
If you wish to give a gift or to volunteer, here are the dates and times.
