A German soldier was charged on Tuesday (local time) with plotting to kill senior politicians because of their support for refugees and trying to make it look like asylum seekers carried out the murders.
The officer, named only as Franco Hans A., was arrested in April in a case that shocked Germans and stirred a debate about the depth of right-wing radicalism in the Bundeswehr military.
"Motivated by a nationalist attitude, he planned to carry out an attack at an unknown time on high-ranking politicians and public figures who stood up for what the accused regarded as an especially refugee-friendly policy," the federal prosecutor's office said.
"He wanted people to believe that his attacks were related to radical Islamist terrorism committed by somebody who had been granted asylum," it added.
The statement did not say whether the soldier had denied the charges or include any statement from his lawyer.
Among the targets were Justice Minister Heiko Maas, a senior Social Democrat, Greens politician Claudia Roth as well as human rights activists and journalists, the prosecutor's office added.
Prosecutors suspect that Franco Hans A., along with two accomplices, wanted to implicate refugees in their planned attack by posing as an asylum seeker.
The case had put pressure on centre-right Chancellor Angela Merkel's government - with her close ally Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen facing criticism for first failing to deal with right-wing extremism in the army and then implying that most soldiers were right-wing radicals.
The federal prosecutor's office said the soldier was accused of committing a serious act of violent subversion and violating the military weapons control law, as well as gun and explosives laws.
Franco Hans A., who served with an army battalion stationed in France, had used a fake identity to register as a Syrian refugee and moved into a shelter for migrants in Bavaria even though he speaks no Arabic, the prosecutors said.
The soldier had previously been detained in late January by Austrian authorities on suspicion of having hidden an illegal gun in a bathroom at Vienna's main airport, they added.

We've been keeping track of the best "Snakes on a Plane" parodies for months now so that we could compile them into this nifty little gallery for you. Now that it's finished, and we no longer have to watch these ever again, we feel a little like we just escaped some . . . well, we'd bet you can guess. (If you've managed to avoid this whole "Snakes On A Plane" thing, and don't know what we're referring to, read this fine piece.)
The first videos to appear on the Internet were fake trailers for a film we had only heard about, but had captured our imagination nonetheless:
The parody soon became more sophisticated, and this one by Doomed Planet," called "How Hollywood Reall Works," tried to answer the most pressing question about the whole phenomenon. Worth watching, especially for the line: "it's 'Schindler's List' meets 'Panic Room!'"
A rap song about "Snakes" should be as lame as it sounds, and yet this one, by The Zebro Show, has some inspired moments:
The reference-heavy world of video nerds hits its zenith with this spoof, "All Your Snakes Are Belong To Us," which marries one old Web fetish with this new one. (Tip: Five seconds, and you get the gist.):
This last one may be the true viral breakout of the bunch, with actor Dave Coyne showing us the lost auditions for "Snakes." Frankly, his Nicholson spooks us out too much for us to fully enjoy this one. But the guy does a mean Walken:
Are we missing a truly great one? Email us ([email protected]) and let us know, and if it's good enough, we'll post.

People with disabilities benefited significantly from the Affordable Care Act through both expanded access to Medicaid and being able to purchase private insurance, a Washington State University study found.
The paper, published in late 2017 in the journal Inquiry, compared both health coverage and access to care among working-age adults with and without disabilities, drawing on responses to the National Health Interview Survey.
Researchers found people with disabilities were far more likely to have insurance through a public health insurance program. Among those who had private insurance, people with disabilities were more likely to have a plan purchased on a state exchange, rather than through work.
And even when they had insurance, many people with disabilities reported delaying or not receiving needed medical care due to high cost.
Jae Kennedy, the lead author and a professor in WSU’s School of Health Policy and Administration, said the ACA was important because many people with disabilities are unable to work full-time. Since most working-age Americans receive insurance through work, that made coverage difficult.
“Nobody really made a formal decision to link health insurance to employment. It just kind of happened,” he said.
Most part-time workers can’t get insurance through work, and buying private health insurance wasn’t an option because pre-existing conditions precluded many disabled people from coverage. The ACA required insurers to cover pre-existing conditions, opening up the health care marketplace.
“People with chronic illness and disability, for the first time, really, in the history of health insurance in this country, could get private health insurance,” Kennedy said.
Miriam Hertz, an independent living advocate with Disability Action Center Northwest in Moscow, Idaho, said she’s seen that in both her own experience and her work with clients. She signed up for an exchange plan shortly after the ACA’s markets were established and said she has seen many people benefit from the pre-existing conditions protection.
“There was a time when I was told that because of my stuttering I would have a hard time getting private health care coverage,” she said.
But the benefits of Medicaid expansion have left her clients behind, since Idaho opted not to expand the program.
“The biggest plus for people with disabilities coming out of the ACA era is actually the expansion of Medicaid which is on a state-by-state basis,” she said.
And access remains a concern, she said. Beyond the cost of care, people with disabilities often have trouble getting rides to appointments or needed accommodations at doctor offices, like accessible entrances or sign language interpreters.
Because the study is based on survey data, it doesn’t show whether people who newly enrolled in Medicaid would have been eligible before the expansion. And Kennedy notes that other factors, like recovery from the Great Recession, may also play a role in expanded coverage.
Kennedy is the head of a five-institution Collaborative on Health Reform and Independent Living, which is looking into the effect of health reform on people with disabilities.
Liz Wood, a WSU research professor who’s finishing her doctorate at the University of North Carolina in health services research, said the hope is to focus more discussion on health coverage on some of the highest users of the medical system, who often aren’t specifically written about in research.
“They spend so much more on health care, and they earn so much less, on average,” she said.
CHRIL has published prior research showing people with disabilities were more likely to be employed following the ACA’s implementation in states that expanded Medicaid. About 38 percent of people with disabilities were working in Medicaid expansion states in 2014-15, versus 32 percent in nonMedicaid expansion states.
Kennedy said access to Medicaid or other public programs can actually help people with disabilities stay in part-time jobs, because it doesn’t tie their insurance to disability benefits.
When people are covered through federal disability programs, they can fall into a trap where they lose benefits if they have outside income. That means someone who is only able to work part-time at jobs that don’t offer coverage has an incentive not to work at all.
“If you have other options for health insurance, you don’t have this kind of existential crisis where you have to drop out” of the labor force, Kennedy said.

Maasi asking Tanvi to relax. Tanvi says I love you a lot, I won’t let anything happen to you. Maasi says Mohini would have exposed us if she wanted, I have seen her hatred for Prerna and family, we have sent Veena to jail, Mohini won’t tell anyone, you should be with Rishabh, calm down.
Prerna asks doctor is Mr. Bajaj fine. He says yes, there is small complication, he didn’t get conscious, there is nothing to worry, we have to give him specific medicine, does he have any allergy. She says I don’t know. He says fine, we have to do some tests to know it. She asks how much time will it take. He says I can’t tell this until we get test reports. She asks can I go. He says sure. She cries and thinks of Mr. Bajaj.
She says I have told you so much and misunderstood you, I just have mum, she is my mum and dad now, I can’t see wrong happening with her, like you tried to help her without hurting her esteem, its a big thing. She cries and says I had to leave Anurag, I had to sacrifice my love and marry you, I used to hate you, I won’t be able to hate you. She holds his hand and says get well soon, thanks. Tanvi looks on and thinks why is this happening, Prerna has to get back to Anurag, she can’t be with Rishabh.
Anurag is on the way. He thinks time is with me, it will happen what I want. He gets a call. Anurag says I had booked the tickets. Anupam asks did your meeting get over, I want you to come, but not by leaving things. Anurag says I have postponed the meeting, I should have not come, anyway, Mr. Bajaj is hospitalized, his family had sent Veena to jail. Anupam asks are you worried for Veena, you don’t need to come, I will help Veena. Anurag says I care for Prerna and her family, don’t try to stop me, I m on the way. Tanvi calls Maasi and says Rishabh is fine, Prerna is with him, everything is changing. Maasi says Prerna is his wife. Tanvi says I was so tensed, Prerna felt as if she doesn’t care, but when I came back, I have seen her touching his hand, she was seeing like she has feelings for him. She sees Prerna leaving and says if we don’t do anything, it will be too late. Maasi says don’t worry, that doesn’t matter, Prerna cares for him as he did many favors on her, she will come to us and try to free her mum, I will think what to do. She ends call.
She says Prerna would have known I have lodged complaint, she would ask me to take back complaint, what to do. Mohini says if I was in your place, I would have never taken the complaint back and let Veena be in jail. She goes. Nivedita says what’s going on between them. She comes to Mohini and asks why are you behaving sweet with Maasi. Mohini thinks Nivedita is soft hearted like Anurag, she thinks for Prerna’s family sometimes, I shouldn’t tell her.
Nivedita says you aren’t upset with her, you are advising her, what’s happening. Mohini says I felt if I can talk to her sweetly, it will be good, I don’t like arguing with her. Nivedita asks why do you think that you are talking sweetly as Maasi’s target is Veena. Mohini says so what’s wrong, I don’t know why Veena did this. Nivedita says why would she do this, it was just an accident. Mohini says I m happy, Veena deserves this. Prerna says Maasi, you got Veena arrested for attempt to murder. Maasi cries.
Prerna says mum will be punished, you didn’t think about her. Maasi says I accept to do this, mum is a mum, I m not Rishabh’s mum, Rishabh and Tanvi have no relations, a far relative had sent alliance for him, I regarded Tanvi as my daughter, she isn’t legally adopted, Rishabh respects me a lot, blood relations have rights, our relation is just of love, I know him, when he gets conscious, he will first file case on your mum, he will hire big lawyer. Prerna says no, he was trying to help mum.
Maasi says he isn’t bad until he gets angry, none can handle him, Kuki’s birthday got spoiled because of Veena, he won’t forgive Veena, I hired a lawyer who will prove that Veena is innocent, she just wanted to spoil the party, she will get little punishment and come out of jail, if Rishabh decides to punish her, none can stop him. Tanvi recalls Prerna. She gets a tissue and cleans Mr. Bajaj’s hand where Prerna touched him.
She says mom told me that you married Prerna to help her, don’t think she loves you, just I love you. Doctor comes and says we want to discuss his case, he should have recovered by now, I m going to discuss case with seniors. She asks can I go home, I can’t sleep in hospital. He says he can recover soon, he isn’t critically ill, you can go home. She says thanks. She says Rishabh, don’t die please, I m addicted to luxurious life, I will come to meet you tomorrow. She goes.
Maasi says if I didn’t do this, he would have ousted me and Tanvi, you know how stubborn he is, I hope you will understand my helplessness. Prerna says I can’t see my mum going to court. Maasi says fine, I will take back the case, I love Rishabh and you also, when you understand this later, you will know I did right. She asks Kuki is she getting bad dreams. Kuki hugs Prerna. Prerna says its fine. Maasi says its late, can you put her to sleep, whatever I did for Veena is right, you can go if you want, you won’t get any lawyer, I can give you the best lawyer’s number. Prerna says fine, give me the number, I will put Kuki to sleep. Maasi thinks accusation and lawyer are mind, you will get punishment.

We were staying near Lyon in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. The campsite was in the countryside a few miles from the village of Montrigaud. It was the weekend and the site was busy with laughing families enjoying the warm (hot) weather. The restaurant, with its wood fired pizza oven, was unsophisticated but popular with the locals and appeared to be open at all times. The site was attractive and very uncommercial, the owner found us to a shady pitch, secluded and surrounded by mature trees. There was a small swimming pool, well used by families staying on the site and a boules area where several groups were playing, while others were spectating enthusiastically.We spent two lazy days at the site and resolved to return when we were next in the area. Our next stop was Besançon, about four hours’ drive northeast. Motorways formed a triangle around our point of departure and we followed our satnav cross country through farmland and heading north to join up with the motorway towards Dijon. We didn’t realise we had taken a wrong turn until the satnav announced we should make a u turn, which we ignored. The drive was so beautiful, rolling hills with fields of wheat, lavender and sunflowers and deep forests of walnut trees. We drove for an hour and eventually reached a motorway and realised we had taken a huge detour and were further away from our destination that when we started out. Hey ho.

The debate over a proposed private prison in Evanston encapsulates the economic head scratching happening these days all over the country.
People need jobs, of that there’s no question. But what are communities willing to do, and to sacrifice, to create them? Are there any limits to what residents and their elected officials will accept or actively court to improve the local economy? At what point, and to what degree, does a populace abandon its principles for gainful employment?
These aren’t questions with easy answers.
One of the challenges comes in defining local control. The Evanston prison situation pits the economic values of a municipality against the cultural values of much of the rest of Wyoming’s citizenry.
Advocates of the proposed project prefer to call it an “immigration detention center,” but I will refer to it as a private prison, because that’s unquestionably what it is. There’s no reason to put lipstick on the proverbial pig.
A facility that keeps people locked inside, has guards to enforce the rules and is surrounded by high chain link fences and security cameras, is a prison.
Nevermind that most of the prisoners are not criminals, and have not been charged with any crime. Due process or not, imprisonment is imprisonment.
One of the fundamental questions in Evanston is whether it’s solely the state’s responsibility to supervise a portion of the populace that society deems necessary to lock up, or whether a private corporation can set up shop and run the place under federal rules without the state’s interference. Under Wyoming law, it’s not clear whether such a facility — under the guise of free enterprise — needs permission from anyone in the state.
Some Evanston residents admit that the prison isn’t the kind of economic diversity they want, but it’s what’s available. “When I first heard about it, I was pretty skeptical,” Uinta County Commissioner Wendell Fraughton told the Casper Star-Tribune. But after talking to company officials and doing his own research, he concluded, “I think it will be a good boost for the county.”
Management Training Center, a Utah-based company with private prisons operating in several states, is still far from closing a deal to build the 500-bed facility. First they have to win a contract with the U.S. Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain immigrants suspected of being in the United States illegally.
But the proposal already has the unanimous support of the Evanston City Council and Uinta County Board of Commissioners. At question, though, is whether the state has a role in reviewing the project. All prisons in Wyoming must be approved by a majority of the five elected state officials: the governor, secretary of state, auditor, treasurer and superintendent of public instruction. However, city and county officials contend that as a “detention center” the proposed compound isn’t subject to such pesky prison rules. There’s that pig again.
Local officials are gung-ho about the prison. They talk glowingly about MTC as the area’s economic savior, that will bring 100 to 120 jobs with starting wages around $21 an hour many of which only require a high school education.
Opponents, however, don’t see prison guard as a career aspiration for their children or grandchildren, and wonder if that’s the kind of work that’s likely keeping young people in Wyoming. They’ve organized under the banner of the WyoSayNo Coalition, which includes the ACLU of Wyoming, Juntos, The University of Wyoming group MEChA, the Equality State Policy Center and the Immigration Alliance of Casper. They argue that most of Wyoming is loath to relive the shame of confining Japanese-Americans at the Heart Mountain internment camp during World War II.
The WyoSayNo Coalition’s most compelling material may be MTC’s performance record elsewhere.
Here are just a few examples:
- The Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General Office made surprise visits to the MTC’s Otero, N.M., prison and discovered inmates being held in solitary confinement without explanation, a mechanism of appeal or documentation of why they were being punished.
- The Otero center allegedly had mold and peeling paint in restrooms, and spoiled food and moldy produce in the kitchen. An MTC prison in Texas has been accused of understaffing, serving tainted food and of the sexual abuse of inmates by two guards.
- In 2015 a riot broke out at an MTC prison in Raymondville, Texas, with nearly 2,400 inmates over what were described as “uninhabitable conditions.” Almost 400 jobs were lost by local residents when the prison was closed.
- In a national report the ACLU claimed MTC facilities lacked food, had long waits for medical attention, difficulty obtaining necessary medications and retaliation from guards for complaints. MTC has denied all charges of mistreating immigrant inmates and says it provides nutritious meals, timely medical and dental care and trains its staff “to respect detainees.”
Some officials have buried their heads in the sand about the complaints. “Undoubtedly with these kinds of things there will be issues that arise that will have to be dealt with,” Mayor Kent Williams told the Star-Tribune. “But I’m not going to judge them for that and trust that they will respond appropriately.
“Does that shine negatively on MTC in my mind?” he added. “No, it doesn’t.”
But it should. Elected officials have an obligation to put public safety concerns before profits. It’s outrageous for Williams to say he’s not going to judge a company with such a poor record and just trust MTC to do the right thing. Such an approach would never be satisfactory for an agreement between a municipality and a corporation contracting to provide services.
Not surprisingly, given the diverse opinions on the subject, the Uinta County Herald’s letter to the editors section has seen a spirited debate about the MTC proposal. I agree wholeheartedly with a UW student, Tyler Duncil, who wrote in a guest column, “Corrections should not be a for-profit model. It is a crime-and-punishment institution. The ‘solution’ that MTC is pushing forward should not be enacted.”
Applying the principles of private free market capitalism to the fundamentally public responsibilities of criminal justice and immigration perverts these complex functions into a single overarching goal: bring in more inmates and make more money. But given the volatility and divisiveness of the nation’s immigration policies, betting on a future of full ICE jails may not be financially prudent.
Approving a private prison to house illegal immigrants could bring more jobs into southwest Wyoming for a limited time, but the chance of long-term success is highly questionable. More likely, I think, officials would end up looking for a new tenant and a new use for a building they could regret throwing their weight and money — as well as a community’s economic hopes and dreams — behind.

It didn’t take the Groth family long to know that in buying the Oakville Estate, they had acquired a special property. The first recognition that immediately put Groth on the map and confirmed their credentials was when Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate gave the Groth 1985 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon the distinction of being the first 100-point wine from the United States. This sparked feverish demand for the wine.
The Groth family’s commitment to quality continues to draw recognition. Groth wines have been ranked on Wine Spectator’s prestigious Top 100 Wines list eight times in the winery’s history, most recently in 2019, when the 2016 Reserve Cabernet was No. 4.
Groth Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown in various microclimates of the Napa Valley. The warmer areas give grapes with melon and citrus characteristics in both aroma and flavor. The cooler areas of Napa Valley provide fruit with a solid, crisp backbone that gives the wine an exciting liveliness and balances the rich creaminess from "sur lie" aging. The Semillon is grown on the Groth Oakville Estate vineyard and is harvested with the Estate Sauvignon Blanc, contributing roundness and weight to the mouthfeel.
The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc has a brilliant pale gold in color with enticing aromas of jasmine, white peach, tropical mango and fresh-cut lemon. Opening with a juicy acidity, the palate is richly weighted, showing layers of pineapple, green melon, and a crisp, refreshing grapefruit finish.
92 Points - Wine Enthusiast With a hearty helping of 18% Sémillon, this white has a creamy, viscous entry adorned in jasmine. Lemon pith, grapefruit and tangerine present as lush and lengthy on the palate, balanced by fresh, persistent acidity.

Everyone who has ever even thought about having children has always thought about the baby names they would choose. I know me and my husband would discuss our favourite names well before we had decided to try for children. Both times I found out I was pregnant I couldn’t help having a sneaky look though the baby name books and even writing little lists of my favourites. This time the pressure is on, not only do we need two names for our identical twin boys but they need to sound good together. It feels like such a responsibility to get it right! You think about everything; will they like it as a teenager, as an adult? Will they get it shortened to something strange in school? Will the teacher be able to pronounce it on the register? More so now you have to wonder if they will get judged for it at each stage of their life, at job interviews or on application forms?
When I went into have Lucas we had picked out three baby boy names and we hadn’t told them to anyone beforehand. I remember the midwife asking me our names (this was post-epidural when I could talk sense!) and she told us she liked Lucas. When he was born they asked us what we were going to name him, I asked my husband to choose and it has always seemed just perfect for him.
I know everyone has different ways of choosing a name. Some people have them picked out from when they were young and it never changes, some have a family name that has a deep meaning to them, some choose a name because of their heritage and you always hear of people naming their children after cars etc…each to their own! Personally I like names that aren’t too popular but at the same time don’t make people pull a funny face when you say it. I like old fashioned names and I like modern names; some names I absolutely love but they just don’t sound right with our surname. Some of my favourite names get vetoed straight away by my husband; because he is a teacher inevitably some names remind him of certain children, for better or for worse!
This pregnancy I had so many girl names I loved but the boy names were a bit scarce. When we found out it was twins I thought I’d be set…if it was girls! My lists of girls names was out of control; there were so many I loved. Boys names I think I managed about 5 and even then I wasn’t too sure of them. The further through the pregnancy I went the more I thought it was boys and I started to leave my list of little girl names before I became too attached to any! And so, we are blessed with two little boys and choosing their names could not have been harder. We have both wrote our list and compared, but even when we have matching names one of us has dithered about whether we really like it. it has seemed so much more difficult this time, did anyone else find this with their second?
So, after much debate and list making we have managed to agree on a few names; we have two we are pretty certain on and a couple more just in case we change our minds when we see them! Incidentally neither of them are the other names we had picked out for Lucas and to be honest we could even change our minds again!
How did you choose names for your children? Were they names you always wanted, did you let your partner choose or were you swayed by someone else’s opinions?

Inter Allies suffered yet another away defeat to Wa All Stars at the Wa Sports Stadium in the Ghana Premier League week 9 clash on Sunday.
Two second half goals from Richard Arthur and Emmanuel Ocran were all what the home team needed to do the damage.
Sheriff Deo Mohammed came back from injury to make the bench for the first time this season.
Youngster Abdul Halik Hudu once again got a start in the team behind Ropapa Mensah upfront.
The ‘Eleven Is To One’ settled very quickly and warmed into the game very nicely and against all odds, Inter Allies were creating chances.
Isaac Twum got the chance to break the deadlock in the 21st minute, his final touch to a cross was very soft for Richard Ofori to collect.
In the 32nd minute Gockel Ahortor sneaked through a pass for Ibrahim Alhassan, but the latter’s final ball to Ropapa Mensah was blocked and cleared.
Both sides failed to add bite upfront until the end of the mandatory first half break.
It was a different side Inter Allies faced in the second half, Wa All Stars came in from the recess very purposeful and aggressive.
Their high pressure paid off in the 75th minute. Richard Arthur flied in to head home the opener leaving Osei Kwmae with no chance.
In added time, Emmanuel Ocran nailed it with a diving header to make it 2-0.
Yet another trip to Wa yielded no point.
Inter Allies XI: Osei Kwame, Ibrahim Alhassan, Abass Mohammed, Kingsley Nnamdi, Uriah Kporvi, Gockel Ahortor, Isaac Twum, Prince Baffoe, Abdul Halik Hudu & Evans Mensah.
Subs: Kwame Baah, Simon Martey, Chika Onu, Haruna Seidu, Emmanuel Nettey, Frederick Boateng and Sheriff Deo Mohammed.

In List interface implementations, before adding the data and to avoid duplication, we need to make a check whether already the data exist in the list. List implementation will nicely work <5000 entry, we do not see much of performance different, not more than milliseconds different.
Once we started adding more entries and started doing manipulations, we will be in position to ask questions and answer ourself, what went wrong, what could be the alternate. Cool..., Here you go.
Now, we think of Set interface and implementations. All the Set implementations avoids duplicate entries and also reports back to caller with boolean value - true, if this set did not already contain the specified element.
These Set interface implementation gives best performance in huge data and comes with different flavours
- No guarantee for order in which added,and no guarantee for order based on the value.
- Guaranteed order in which added.
- SortedSet Implementation - Guaranteed Ascending order on value.
HashSet = [9, 25, 4, 36, 100, 1, 49, 81, 16, 64] LinkedHashSet = [100, 81, 64, 49, 36, 25, 16, 9, 4, 1] TreeSet = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
Performance wise HashSet gives best ,and LinkedHashSet in second position, and TreeSet.
However, Based on the need/usage, any of these Set implementation has to be used :)

The Denver Broncos (4-1) have dropped in NFL power rankings across the web after falling 23-16 to the Atlanta Falcons (4-1) in Week 5. After being ranked No. 1 last week, the Broncos now have an average ranking of No. 5 going into Week 6 of the 2016 NFL season.
Here’s how the main eight NFL outlets have the team ranked:
USA TODAY: 5 (-3)
Their aggressive pass rush was turned against them Sunday, when Atlanta’s RBs had 180 yards receiving. A blueprint to tame Denver?
SB Nation: 4 (-3)
Even with the problems that the Broncos showed, the team is still going to be a tall order for any opponent to take down.
ESPN: 4 (-1)
Though [Gary Kubiak] be watching Thursday night’s game from home, he should rest easy: The Broncos have won eight of their past nine against the Chargers.
CBS Sports: 5 (-4)
Who knew they would miss Trevor Siemian so much? Paxton Lynch wasn’t as good as some expected.
FOX Sports: 5 (-4)
Trevor Siemian is obviously the better of the two [quarterbacks], and it’s not often Denver will face a high-powered offense like Atlanta’s.
NFL Media: 5 (-4)
Certainly not a team in disarray, but a drop is warranted for the Broncos.
Yahoo! Sports: 5 (-3)
Now the coaches will remember Lynch looking like he wasn’t ready yet against Atlanta, and probably will give Siemian a longer leash.
Pro Football Talk: 7 (-6)
Soon, they could be in third place in their own division.
On deck for Denver is a division bout with the San Diego Chargers on Thursday Night Football. That game will be streamed live on Twitter.

Historic Aus Mus partnership

Andrew Taylor, Westpac given naming rights to Australian Museum’s historic gallery, The Sydney Morning Herald, 16 December 2015
Westpac will be given naming rights to the Australian Museum’s Long Gallery after stumping up one-third of the $9 million cost of renovating the space.
Australian Museum director Kim McKay said it was “appropriate” to give naming rights to the bank for a 10-year period.
“To be honest, in these times you have to give the benefits to a sponsor as well,” she said. “It is not a straight philanthropic donation.”
The museum was also given $3 million by the NSW government, which was announced by Premier Mike Baird on Wednesday.
It will raise the remaining cost of the renovation by seeking philanthropic pledges for 200 items, including a thylacine pup specimen, that will be displayed in the Long Gallery once it reopens in 2017.
McKay and the Premier also paid tribute to the museum’s staff, whose numbers are being substantially reduced through a program of forced and voluntary redundancies.
The launch of the funding deal was also accompanied with the long-term loan of Australia’s first bank note and the Maitland Bar Gold Nugget.
The nugget, weighing more than 10 kilograms and worth $3.7 million, is on loan from the NSW Treasury, whose officials had been using the precious object in games of “hallway cricket”, Baird said.
McKay said the 12-month restoration of the Long Gallery – stage two of the museum’s major building plans – would make it the “must-see” exhibition space in Australia.
She said galleries and museums had to follow sport in seeking corporate sponsors as well as public funding.
“The days are long gone where a cultural institution can just survive on a government grant each year,” she said. “We have to be able to raise additional funds.”
Like other major state institutions, the Australian Museum is planning a major redevelopment of its CBD site to “deliver an iconic building project”, according to its annual report. It has been given $4.72 million to develop a master plan that will be submitted to the NSW government at the end of 2016.
McKay said she would like to open up the courtyard formed by the museum’s three historic sandstone buildings, and redevelop a 2700-square-metre parcel of land presently used as a car park.
The NSW government has pledged $600 million for cultural infrastructure from the sale of electricity assets, but has also promised more than half of that money to renovate Sydney Opera House ($202 million) and wharves at Walsh Bay ($139 million).
Several other major cultural institutions – Art Gallery of NSW, Powerhouse Museum – as well as arts centres in western Sydney are bidding for the rest of the money.

The Proprietary casino game developer is known for a number of different styles of games. These include casino sites, bingo games, and a range of different poker sites. In addition, Proprietary has a number of lottery sites that all players can access. What this means, is that if you really do enjoy what this developer has to offer, then chances are that you will be able to find a style of game that you really enjoy.
There are a number of Proprietary online casinos, all of which offer different bonuses to players. These bonuses are advertised as being free, but as is always the case, it is worth reading up on the terms and conditions that go with each bonus, just to make sure you know exactly what is involved. But whatever the fine print is all about, free bonuses are always worth trying to get your hands on. The 3Dice Casino that runs on Proprietary software is one site worth looking at.
The Bodog88 Casino is another good alternative, offering a free bonus of 100% up to $50. For full details about exactly what this bonus means, refer to the actual site for the information. Some of the other casino sites that you might like to look at include Fortune Jack Casino, Casino Atlanta, which is actually a no deposit casino, as well as Win Cake Casino and Slotser Casino, which is one of the newest casinos.
No Deposit Proprietary Sites
When looking at the Proprietary online casinos and games, take careful note of whether they are real money games, or whether the site only offers free or no deposit alternatives. In terms of no deposit games, players literally do not have to spend anything to play these games. You can just go to the site and start playing for the fun of it.
Of course the biggest implication of this is that while you will have no risk of losing any of your own money, you will also not be eligible to win any real money jackpot prizes. If you would like to actually win some real prizes, then you need to look for real money games like AU players looking for Skrill online casino. In order to enjoy these types of games, players will typically need to register and create a playing profile with the casino in question. Once this is complete, you will need to make a deposit into your virtual account. Typically there are a number of good payment options available for online players.
Proprietary Online Bingo Sites
Online bingo is a massive industry in and of itself. If you are a bingo fanatic, there are some Proprietary bingo sites that are worth looking at. At Gala Bingo, players can get a free bonus of 500% up to a certain amount. The Paf Bingo site offers loyalty point bonuses. Basically, the more time you come to play games on these sites, the more bonuses you can earn. Full details are available on the Paf Bingo site. Of course if you have never played online bingo before, these sites make it really easy to figure out how to go about it.

I'm wondering if it's possible to create a "double opt-in" to a mailing list group workflow using Caldera Forms CiviCRM integration. Where the user would enter an email address into a field, then gets sent an email with a link they need to click to confirm they want to be added to the mailing list, and on doing so they're added to the appropriate group in CiviCRM. Essentially the same workflow as using a profile to sign up for a mailing list with the "Enable Double Opt-in for Profile..." settings checked.
Yes, one could just use a profile for this (and have in the past) but would prefer not to deal with the added security risk of enabling external form submissions. The mailing list signup form is in a sidebar widget, not a page, so using a shortcode isn't an option that I'm aware of. Even shorcode widget plugins don't seems to work for this purpose.
So, how would we set up a workflow to use Caldera forms to do this? We have it set up now in such a way that the user inputs their email address, and we use the Contact processor to process their email address and add them to a specific group.

CAPS utilizes a short-term therapy model which focuses on helping you clarify your concerns and work towards the resolution of difficulties.
- Individual counseling sessions are 45-50 minutes in duration and scheduled with a specific staff clinician
- The frequency and total number of sessions are determined by clinical need and clinic policies.
- Counseling is provided by licensed psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, and licensed marriage and family therapists. Sessions are also provided by advanced unlicensed psychology and social work trainees who work under close supervision of our licensed staff.
- You and your clinician will discuss treatment goals, which may include referrals to CAPS psychiatric services or group treatment for comprehensive care.
- Couples counseling is available only if both parties are currently registered UCLA students. Students may not receive concurrent individual and couples therapy at CAPS.
- For a higher level of care, CAPS may coordinate referrals to Behavioral Health Services (BHS) at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, UC SHIP-Anthem community providers or providers in your private health insurance network.
Request for Documentation of CAPS Treatment
CAPS cannot provide documentation regarding diagnoses or treatment at the time of your Triage Assessment. Documentation may be provided at the discretion of the treating clinician during the course of therapy and with a signed CAPS Authorization for Release of Medical and Mental Health Information . After any visit with a staff clinician, students may request a Verification of Attendance, which only indicates the date of the student’s visit but not the nature of the visit. Requests for Verification of Attendance letters can be made to the Front Desk staff.
Request for ADHD or Psycho-Educational Testing
Students seeking an evaluation for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may present to CAPS for an assessment. See ADHD Services for further details.
More information about student resources related to psychoeducational assessment.
CAPS does not provide formal assessments requested solely for the purpose of accommodations on the MCAT, GMAT or LSAT, or for purposes of obtaining accommodations for professional credentialing. Students with SHIP insurance will be referred to providers in the community for comprehensive testing. Students without SHIP can receive assistance finding a psycho-educational testing provider using their private insurance. Visit CAPS for a Brief Screen for assistance.
The UCLA Psychology Clinic on campus also provides testing services for learning disabilities, behavioral and school problems, personality assessment, neuropsychological assessment and attention/concentration problems. They can usually provide testing for GRE, GMAT, LSAT and the Bar, but the MCAT and medical or dental board exams have more stringent requirements of testing administrators which clinicians at the Clinic may not have. The Clinic is open to the general public and UCLA faculty, staff and students receive a 10% discount on assessment services. Contact the UCLA Psychology Clinic for additional information: (310) 825-2305.
Request for UCEAP (Education Abroad Program) Medical Clearance
UCLA students who are currently receiving treatment services at CAPS, or who have received services at CAPS in the past, will need clearance from CAPS as part of the EAP clearance process. Students should initiate the EAP clearance process electronically, through the Ashe Health Center portal. Students should log into the Ashe portal, then select Messages, select send New Message, and select the choice that contains EAP Clearance to begin the online application.
The CAPS portion of the EAP clearance will be handled automatically as part of the EAP clearance process once initiated through the Ashe portal. No paper forms are required, and a visit to CAPS for clearance is not needed, in most cases.
Please note that CAPS cannot provide EAP clearance for students that have received mental health treatment from providers outside of CAPS, and students will need to have those providers fill out a paper EAP clearance form. Students will then need to take the completed paper EAP Clearance form to the Ashe Health Center. CAPS is not able to offer students appointments for the sole purpose of EAP clearance.

Having started as an IT hardware company 16 years ago, Rackmount has evolved to be “one of the few companies that provide a truly customized solution in the edge data center space. Most companies offer 3 or 4 pre-fabricated off the shelf products at set power designs (e.g. 100kw, 250kw or 500kw). We design and build to a customer’s specific needs taking into account potential future growth and scalability”. What sets the company apart from the competition is its approach. When designing MDCs, Rackmount’s design engineers work with the customer from the very beginning. Engineering the entire infrastructure—from the cooling solution, generators, power, UPS, racks and cabinets to interface overlay— Rackmount creates a containerized solution to be placed out in the field, closer to the edge. Being product agnostic, the firm delivers turnkey customized solutions with the best possible components in 12 weeks or less.
After reaching an agreement regarding the components and specifications, Rackmount goes through the manufacturing process. Starting from a sheet of steel—be it a UL certified or an ISO containerized solution—the designed components are built, and the final product goes through a series of comprehensive tests to ensure that all the criteria are met. The solution is then deployed on site, and alongside Rackmount offers a service contract in the customer desires.
“Once 5G is up and running it will take us through the next three to five years in terms of the offerings that we are bringing to market,” says Currier. With 5G’s promising speed and faster response rates, it will really be the catalyst, which will bring rapid deployment of MDCs over the next several years. Traditional large scale data centers have used AC power as their main source; Rackmount Solutions believes that future data centers will consider DC power and plans to evolve and focus on bringing more DC powered products—particularly in the 48-volt space—to market. “The efficiencies with DC power over AC are numerous, and we are seeing more and more equipment coming to the market being directly powered by DC”, says Rackmount’s VP – Business Development, John Baker. In the data center space, new technologies are on the horizon with better insulation methods, improved UPS and battery technologies for longer backup times. Rackmount Solutions promises always to be ahead of the market and at the forefront by offering technologies that are the cutting edge so that its customers can move away from traditional data centers.

A powerful force is waiting to be unleashed. Software defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) are already acknowledged as exciting possibilities in the world of telecom and media. Leading providers, such as Verizon Enterprise Solutions and My Republic, along with original equipment manufacturers including Cisco Systems and Ericsson, have unveiled their SDN-based services.
In the near future, all physical devices in the network will undoubtedly be replaced by SDN/NFV. Analysts predicted millions of additional devices on network because of the internet of things (IoT) and smart home intelligent devices, which necessitates the need to automate release and deployment on the networking layer to deploy components and upgrade patches to both the southbound network components and northbound applications. So far, release and deployment is successful on the application layer, but network administrators will be challenged in the near future to manage the surge in demand without a seamless automation solution to manage new devices on the network.
In this article, we’ll take a look at various real-life scenarios to build a business case to solve bigger problems in networking—including reducing overall provisioning time, mean time to recover from failure, round-trip time for a packet to enable a usable application or time to free up/repurpose a network resource—that apply to all edge technologies. The solution lies in leveraging DevOps container-based solutions and scaled agile and SDN/NFV controller engine module customizations, and a non-prescriptive approach to products or solutions.
These technologies are the new beasts in the market, but how can SDN go beyond merely saving money for telecom and media companies? How can it provide an enhanced, immersive digital experience, reduce customer churn rate and create new revenue streams? That is where DevOps steps in.
The DevOps Approach to SDN
With mobile, cloud, and IoT creating futuristic applications, consumers require strong underlying network speed and reliability.
The DevOps solution to SDN/NFV is an ideal means for network operators to transition seamlessly from physical networks to futuristic SDN/NFV networks, to provide uninterrupted digital experiences for users, and to achieve high customer retention. DevOps enables a close collaboration between developer and network operators to eliminate many of the pains of introducing new software and services to market. Similar to the system development life cycle, the automated release and deployment process of DevOps enables frequent and incremental updates of network components in near-real time.
The symbiotic relationship between SDN/NFV and DevOps is a dream. The software-defined and virtualized network elements remove the hassles of configuring and upgrading the physical networks’ devices. DevOps adds to this agility and programmability to streamline and shorten the implementation cycles, paving the way for automated service delivery. In turn, SDN and NFV create an elastic network environment, managed from a central location, to program and rapidly deploy new functionality on the network.
Service providers can drastically reduce the time it takes to create and provision those network services, gaining a significant time-to-market advantage that helps them acquire new customers and retain existing ones. In the process, they can achieve higher revenues and cost savings, too.
Creating New Dimensions in the Customer Experience
Tech support has moved from phone to video, but before long, a centralized monitoring system will be able to auto detect and self-heal all issues related to virtual assets on the network. This will provide a more continuous experience for customers. For example, in case of any unexpected service interruption, TV channel providers’ AI-enabled systems will be able to record live programs and play back those interrupted periods to their viewers.
Deploying a vendor-agnostic reliable SDN is a wait-and-watch situation for TV channel operators and telcos. Replacing their physical devices (including the conventional routers and switches) with software-enabled virtual devices will bring down printed circuit board (PCB) replacement costs and other associated maintenance fees. As reliable network bandwidth becomes all the more critical to improving channels’ television rating points (TRP), telecom carriers and TV channel operators are converging.
Digital operators looking beyond TV and telcos anticipate millions of smart home appliances (such as security systems, microwaves, refrigerators and temperature control devices) controlled through the network by users from any remote location. Network administrators want to apply patches and upgrades to any SDN/NFV device, and to proactively fix any network-related issues without bothering their customers. Consumers may be controlling those home appliances from connected cars using mobile devices, so they may not be available physically to read glowing and blinking lights or to reset undecipherable, hard-to-access conventional modems and routers. Network providers are expected to manage millions of devices and provide uninterrupted service, so this paradigm shift, aided by technology transformation, has become imperative not only to reduce the call volumes of help desks but also to retain customers and acquire new ones.
Future-proofing for Technology Shifts
It is important to realize that telco carriers and TV channel operators are no longer merely confined to the communication and entertainment industry. With their scope vastly expanding into managing and controlling millions of household devices on their networks, it is imperative to future-proof technology with automated release-and-deployment processes over the network to support those devices.
Some of the latest DevOps zero-touch release automation (RA) solutions can reduce the overall service provisioning time from months to a few hours. The scope is not just limited to configuring the southbound virtual software devices but may also be required to configure and manage northbound SDN/NFV applications to fulfill the ever-growing market. Having a graphical user interface (GUI)-based orchestration dashboard for network management can enable existing admins to continue without needing to acquire additional, niche skill sets to manage the new, massive networks.
While release automation has been successful on the application layer, it has yet to prove itself on the networking layer. For SDN/NFV, release automation is just an engine that can be fitted into any controller to do virtual local area network provisioning, virtual management of firewalls and network functionalities management. Since there will be a shift from physical devices, there will be a desperate need to automate release and deployment of software versions on such networks.
Adopting a DevOps strategy into SDN deployment requires a cultural shift from the traditional “big-lab,” acceptance-testing mindset to the “here-and-now” daily incremental changes in a live network. It calls for engineers to collaborate in managing the critical network-applications relationships. Consulting skillsets might be needed to assess the extent of customization required for legacy systems and to understand which technology solutions can deploy SDN, NFV and DevOps.
It is clear that this industry will undergo a paradigm shift, and this technology is just crossing the chasm. Early adopters can give themselves an edge by leveraging compelling value propositions.

A stunning early 20th century unmarked gold cabochon fire opal and white sapphire pendant. I love this piece, the central opal is so fiery, it is open to the back which allows the light to shine through creating a kaleidoscope effect. The photos do not do this piece justice. There is slight wear/dents to the gold on the back of the pendant, see pictures.
It measures 17.1mm high (including bail) by 2.5cm wide.

Japanese PM opens LatAm tour with Mexico energy deals 26 июля 2014, 13:59

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe struck a series of energy deals with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto at the start of a five-country Latin American tour, AFP reports.
Abe, whose visit to the region comes on the heels of Chinese President Xi Jinping's, met Pena Nieto at the presidential palace for talks that ended with the signing of a raft of deals.
The new agreements included one between Mexican state oil firm Pemex and Japan's development bank, and another between Pemex and the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation.
With Japan on the lookout for new power sources after the Fukushima disaster forced the shutdown of its nuclear reactors, energy is high on the prime minister's agenda for the trip.
Mexico is undergoing sweeping changes in its energy sector, with Congress poised to end struggling Pemex's 75-year monopoly and open up the oil and gas sectors to foreign investment.
The two leaders, both elected in 2012, took turns praising each other for the reforms they have implemented.
Pena Nieto hailed the "bold transformations" of Abe's fiscal stimulus and monetary easing programs, while Abe drew parallels between their leadership styles, saying both saw reform as a growth strategy.
Traveling with a delegation of Japanese executives and his wife Akie, Abe received a red-carpet greeting at Mexico City airport from Foreign Minister Jose Antonio Meade.
Pena Nieto and first lady Angelica Rivera then threw a welcome ceremony for them at the presidential palace.
Kenko Sone, an official traveling with Abe, mentioned the "special interest" of Japanese companies in Mexico's shale gas, though he said there were no firm investment plans yet.
Sone said that it would be cheaper for Japan to import gas from Mexico than from the United states. The American gas Japan currently buys comes from the eastern United States, and must be shipped through the busy Panama Canal.
Japan is Mexico's fourth trade partner, with total trade of $19.3 billion last year. There are some 800 Japanese companies that have investments in Mexico, especially automobile giants like Nissan, Mazda and Honda.
Abe is the first Japanese leader to visit Mexico since Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi in 2004.
Abe's nine-day trip -- which will also take him to Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, Chile and Brazil -- comes two days after China's Xi wrapped up his own four-country tour.
The interest of the rival powers underlines Asia's growing interest in the region's fast-growing economies and vast natural resources.
Announcing Abe's trip earlier this month, government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said Latin American countries "are increasingly important for the Japanese economy because of their growing economies and natural resources."
Japan, long one of the world's top exporting countries, has registered two consecutive years of trade deficits since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami triggered the Fukushima disaster.
With its emerging economies, Latin America holds promise as a relatively untapped market for Japanese exports, in addition to its coveted raw materials.
But Japan is not the only one showing growing interest in the region often considered the United States' back yard.
The back-to-back Chinese and Japanese visits come at a moment when territorial disputes between the Asian rivals have pushed their relations to a low point.
China's Xi headed home from his own trip to Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Cuba with dozens of deals in areas from oil to mining to agriculture.
Russian President Vladimir Putin also recently wrapped up a tour of the region, visiting Cuba, Nicaragua, Argentina and Brazil.
Xi and Putin, who overlapped in Brazil, played to Latin American resentment toward perceived dominance of the region by Japan's longtime ally the United States.
Together with Brazil, India and South Africa -- their partners in the BRICS group of emerging nations -- they announced a new $50 billion development bank and $100 billion reserve fund to rival the Western-dominated World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

By simulating minimally invasive kidney stone removal, the PCNL Trainer is the first of its kind—giving medical students and surgeons a hands-on, realistic training experience.
Training students, surgeons and medical sales reps on how to remove kidney stones can be a costly process. Current methods involve cadavers and animals, which can’t be reused, are heavily regulated and don’t travel well. There has to be a better option. We spoke with a number of instructors, surgeons, and medical professionals and one problem that continuously came up with previous kidney models was their “one-size-fits-all” methodology. The door was opened when we were approached by world-renowned surgeon, Dr. Giorgio Bozzini, who had invented a kidney trainer that would revolutionize the industry. We manufactured and tested the model, and focused on customizing a product that would open the doors to more lifelike and anatomically correct training.
Life-Like, Emulates Human Anatomy
The Encoris PCNL kidney trainer mimics renal access for common procedures in a urologic practice. The internal kidney anatomy is hollow, containing eight calyces with several embedded stones of assorted sizes and locations.
Additional features include removable skin and accurate anatomic landmarks. The trainer also comes with a reusable kidney cartridge insert that simulates different kidney stone conditions, including large staghorn, upper and lower caliceal stones, or hydronephrotic stones.
What makes this trainer so unique is that it gives you the ability to practice the removal of kidney stones from multiple angles with the use of X-ray and ultrasound. Because it’s reusable, you can do numerous test runs on a life-like model and gain valuable experience before performing the procedure in the real world.
Additional Benefits of the PCNL Kidney Trainer:
- Hands-on – Surgeons, instructors, and students can practice hands-on PCNL procedures, using either ultrasound or fluoroscopy.
- Reusable – You get multiple training sessions out of one unit.
- Clean – Unlike cadavers and animals, the trainer provides a clean operating environment.
- Orientation variety – Interchangeable kidney cartridges provide multiple orientations of the kidney and multi-surgical stone conditions.
- Can be used with water – Kidneys can be filled with water under slight pressure, providing a hydronephrotic condition as well as needle drip.
- Multi access points – You can access the kidney from different angles and entry points – percutaneously or through the ureter.
- Compatible – The model can be used with a wide variety urological instruments and ureteroscopes.

Latest Prevention & Wellness News
By Dennis Thompson
WEDNESDAY, July 22, 2020 (HealthDay News)
The COVID-19 pandemic has America’s hospitals on the fiscal ropes, with many facing financial ruin without continued aid from the federal government, a new report predicts.
Average hospital margins across the nation could sink to −7% in the second half of 2020 without further help, with half of all hospitals potentially operating in the red, the American Hospital Association’s new analysis estimates.
“The COVID crisis continues to cripple the financial health of hospitals and health systems,” said Rick Pollack, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association (AHA).
“As today’s analysis shows, this pandemic is the greatest financial threat in history for hospitals and health systems, and is a serious obstacle to keeping the doors open for many,” Pollack added.
U.S. hospitals have had to spend more on personal protective equipment to keep their employees safe from COVID-19, even as revenues have dropped due to state-level lockdowns that canceled all but the most desperately needed services and surgeries.
The analysis, prepared by the financial advisory firm Kaufman, Hall & Associates, considered two potential scenarios — an optimistic slow but steady decrease in COVID-19 cases, and a pessimistic outlook based on periodic surges in infections that would place additional stress on hospital operations.
U.S. hospitals typically operate at an average 3.5% annual profit, “which is very thin” compared with other industries, said Ken Kaufman, managing director and chair of Kaufman Hall.
“In the first quarter of 2020, which included basically maybe two to four weeks of the COVID cases, that median margin fell from 3.5% to a −2%,” Kaufman said. “And then in the second quarter, where COVID cases spread throughout the United States, that median margin for hospitals fell to a −3%.”
The CARES Act passed by Congress is the only reason this dire situation isn’t even worse, Kaufman noted. Without the act’s billions in federal aid, hospital margins would have been −15% in the second quarter of 2020, instead of −3%.
But that aid will end in July without Congressional action, even as COVID-19 continues to ravage U.S. communities.
Even with a slow but steady decline in COVID-19 cases, hospitals face an average loss of −1% for the fourth quarter of 2020, Kaufman said.
If there continues to be periodic surges in COVID-19 — which appears the more likely scenario, given what’s happening — hospitals will face devastating average −11% margins by the fourth quarter, Kaufman said.
“We believe half of America’s hospitals could have negative margins for the end of 2020 under the current circumstances,” Kaufman said.
Grady Health System in Atlanta currently is operating at 105% occupancy due to a COVID-19 surge in Georgia, said Grady CEO John Haupert.
Prior to the new spike, Grady had just started to claw its way back from the dark days of the March shutdown, where the health system saw a 50% reduction in surgeries, 38% fewer emergency visits and a 68% decline in outpatient care, Haupert said.
“With the CARES Act funding through July, we anticipate being at about break even,” Haupert said. “However, this latest surge in volume financially is going to have even more detrimental impact. Our original hope of breaking even now looks like a −3% margin without additional federal funding.”
SBH Health System in the Bronx, N.Y., is in even more dire straits, as it cares for a largely minority population covered by Medicaid and Medicare, said president and CEO Dr. David Perlstein.
Even before the pandemic, SBH was facing its most financially challenging year ever, expecting a 6% operating loss for 2020, Perlstein said.
“Without the CARES Act and the Medicare advance we were able to take, we would have been forced to close our doors during the pandemic,” Perlstein said. “Without the federal support, we would have run out of cash and been forced to shut down the hospital.”
Based on these bleak estimates, Pollack said the AHA is calling on Congress to:
Fully forgive the advanced Medicare payments that allowed hospital systems like SBH to stay afloat during the first half of this year.Provide additional funding for hospitals and emergency providers.Enact liability protection for front-line medical providers and facilities.Maintain and improve health benefits for all Americans, including more options for the uninsured.
Congress is now bickering over a new pandemic relief package, but negotiators are butting heads over other issues, such as unemployment benefits, a payroll tax cut, and more funding for testing and contact tracing.
“As an anchor institution, we’ve been there for our community through social unrest, through 9/11, through hurricanes, H1N1 and COVID,” Perlstein said of SBH Health System. “In fact, we lost many friends and neighbors, but we also saved many, many more. Without further investment, we will not be there for the next one, and there will be a next one.”

Our roots are firmly planted in the earth, with a farming culture that has taught us the most important value of all: respect. Respect of nature, its cycles, its fruits. Our challenge was to bring forth these ancient teachings into the present, in a perfect balance between agriculture and innovation, without ever betraying them.
Respecting the fruits of nature and the work of man means using 100% recyclable packaging. It means producing in Italy and using innovative technology that, reducing the cooking times to four times less, and correctly distributing the heat allows us to maintain the integrity and the flavors of the ingredients, as if our products were “just made”.
The exclamation point
An innovative idea that changes everything at the table! It’s called Fast & Fresco, and it is a line of ready-to-eat products, to eat well and healthy even when there is no time or desire to cook. This is because we believe that is possible to find a balance between life and quality of life.

The top Chinese smartphone brand, Huawei, just launched a mobile payment service
By Kevin McSpadden for e27,
Huawei Pay is only available in China, but with a growing market in Western Europe, it will be interesting to see how fast it looks abroad
China — not the US, not India, not Europe — has become ground zero in the global war for mobile payment dominance.
And now Huawei wants to enter the fray. According to Android News, the company this week announced the launch of its mobile payment service in China, called Huawei Pay.
It will be entering a dog-eat-dog world in which foreign brands are working hard to take a chunk out of the locally dominant companies WeChat and Alipay.
Let’s take a quick glance at the lion’s den Huawei just walked in to.
Apple Pay is finding moderate success, with three million cards being activated in the first two days. But, in order to make the service more palatable for vendors, Apple Pay cut its transaction fee in half to 0.7 per cent per transaction (as compared to o.15 per cent in the US).
Samsung entered the market less than a week after Apple as to not be left behind, globally the service lost US$16.8 million in its first year and the company has been silent on a post-launch update from China.
Alibaba’s Alipay arm is the dominant service. It is valued at US$60 billion and boasts 400 million verified users — which gives it an impressive 70 per cent market share. Also, the company has started to look beyond its home market, with the goal of being adopted by 500,000 overseas stores by the end of the year.
And lest we forget Tencent-owned WeChat’s mobile wallet, with a 19 per cent of the market it falls short of Alipay but potential reach of 650 million people is undeniable. The payment system has become an integral part of WeChat becoming the most important social media tool in China.
Zooming in on Huawei Pay
The product will come pre-installed in new Huawei phones and wearables — an effort to seemingly dissuade people to buy a Huawei device only to upload a service like WeChat.
Huawei’s has only inked the support of its lone local bank, the Bank of China — one of the ‘Big Five’ state-owned banks in China. BOC card holders will be able to integrate Huawei Pay with their accounts.
To put this in perspective, Huawei has a long way to go. While BOC is certainly a large client, Apple Pay can be used through 19 banks and WeChat simply requires a ‘top up’ via a debit card.
What Huawei has in its corner is the popularity of its hardware. In October 2015, the phone company passed Xiaomi as the most popular Chinese mobile brand, so preloading the service onto its phone means a lot of eyes will be seeing the app.
The company became the fourth company after Apple, Samsung and Nokia to ship 108 million phones in a year (albeit a good chunk of those left China) so if the company convince users to actually use the service it does have an almost-instant large market.
Specifics of the service, like the involvement of other banks or the rate of the transaction fee, were not revealed during the press conference.
Chinese media has reported on rumors that Lenovo, Xiaomi and ZTE are developing plans for their own mobile payment systems, but nothing substantial have come from those reports.
The final thing to watch out for is how quickly Huawei considers launching on the international market. Its phones are gaining traction among Western European customers and it has proven to be a key part of the company’s recent success.
Huawei is coming off a banner year in 2015, so if the company is going to take this risk, now is as good a time as any.

Donald Knuth said it best:
We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil.
Every programmer knows this in their head, but getting that through to their heart can be surprisingly difficult. When it comes to applying lessons like the one above, it’s easy to find yourself in the middle of a conflict between doing what you know you should do and doing what you want to do.
Here’s the thing. Most programmers like to optimize code. It makes us feel smart when we can take some code and, through sheer force of will and brainpower, make it magically run faster. In that sense, optimization is fun.
On the other hand, measuring code performance and benchmarking is not that fun. Done with any sort of rigor, it tends to be fairly labor intensive. Many programmers, especially the less-experienced ones, may start to wonder if the time spent measuring code wouldn’t be better spent writing code instead. After all, wouldn’t we rather all of our code be faster anyway? Why bother measuring code when we know that we can make it faster?
Well, no. Optimization costs time (money). Optimized code is generally harder to read and more bug-prone. Therefore it’s harder to maintain and more expensive. You don’t optimize all of your code because you can’t afford it. Jonathan Blow makes a strong case for this in his talk about independent game programming. That is why you need to make sure the code you’re going to optimize is actually causing a problem. Slow code doesn’t actually cause performance problems unless it is used in a way that makes it performance-sensitive.
You always want to measure your performance before you jump to conclusions about what to optimize. Chances are that the code you think needs optimization is not the primary performance sink in your game. Recently in one of my projects, I started running into performance problems with large numbers of actors on the screen. My mind immediately jumped to the rendering code I had written a few months earlier. There were some parts in there related to visibility handling that I was doing in a simple, but inefficient way. I had implemented it that way because it was faster to get working, but I always kept it in mind as a place where I was basically throwing away performance. I was tempted to go ahead and jump in and refactor that rendering code. After all, I KNEW it was inefficient.
Well, it turns out that it was a good thing I benchmarked my code first (using the benchmarking code from Box2D XNA, incidentally). Once I started measuring my performance, I found that my problems stemmed from my usage of Box2D bodies for collision. By default, my collision-enabled actors were creating their own Box2D bodies, even the money enemies dropped for the player to pick-up. The dropped cash didn’t need to have a sophisticated physics model so I just changed their collision logic to use a simple distance check instead of building Box2D bodies. Voila! Performance fixed. The inefficient rendering code I mentioned was still inefficient, but it accounted for less than 10% of the frametime. It got to live on to be optimized another day.
So, what’s the lesson here? In optimization, it’s best to follow the old proverb: “Measure twice and cut once.“

After going through some of the most important human time nodes in the 20th century, I began to think about the significance of our life, the significance of our growth, all these things we love.
When I think in the abstract reality in order to understand, I also think in the concrete reality in order to respond. In the abstract phenomenon, I can create a self, an insightful self; in the concrete reality, I am myself, a body, a vision, a voice. This is the basis of all independence, including the idea of independence.
I want to tell you a story. It may be a horror and horror story. It may be a love story or a story about a person's life. It has no voice, it does not move, it hangs there quietly to tell you its story.
I want to use photography to write a novel by imaginary writers, to put together the chapters and the contents of the story with different scenes. When we look at the literary works, we will have a sense of the content in our mind. If photography is the artistic form that catches the moment, the picture in our mind You can also catch it. When we face the noisy environment around us, I hope this photographer's novel can bring you some pressure to relax. It will bring you some belongings and satisfaction like your pillow book or a tired day's evening film, and sit down and open a chapter to read it because it tells you a story.
We have been discussing the relationship of space, such as square, cold and warm, plane and stereoscopic, flat and multi perspective. The world is the blending of three dimensions: image, literature and music. Words and music will express richer contents through image as a carrier. Similarly, experimental images can also get rid of traditional constraints on the plane by combining music and text. The digital transformation of the photographic age of the experimental image is playing its power.
Snow covers the beautiful Harbin in winter. I have been depicting this seasonal landscape in my home town for over five years. I go out, shoot in the snow and enjoy pleasant moments with the snowflakes. "Winter Surreal Fantasy" is a continuing series that I have been working on every winter, so that the audience will see variations and different ways of expressions. I intended to communicate myself in this way. My thinking and aesthetic change at times, but the snow covered winter remains the same still so beautiful and so solemn.
The image creation of traditional culture and the artistic description of mythology are the purposes of the series of "reincarnation". After repeated experiments, the seemingly simple and undisciplined lines bring me strong impact every time. I like nature, because the rules it formed is just like our hearts, which is uncontrollable and unavoidable. I always observe the natural environment such as trees, flowers and plants, Jiang Liu, mountains and rivers, ice and snow. I'll put them in the filming was late, every time I would be shocked by their inherent and obsession. It is a product of nature not deliberately to show themselves instead of waiting for you to discover it, it is natural to my art and express their inner Abstract interpretation.
The composition of life is complex and precise, and the interlaced transport of the arteries and veins is like the trunk's phloem fibrous tissue that carries water from the leaves. I love trees, worship of natural vitality and awe, as a witness to the evolution of all the trees into the relationship between man and nature, with the trees branches leaves and twigs to the human organs, as the human life in the most brilliant show of fine and return to the original worship of the nature of things.
Our life, our city has been integrated for a long time, every day will continue to stand up new high buildings, the development of the city for us to serve. The intersection point, our life is like this, in order to live every day to go to work, in order to dream. Our hearts, friendship, love, cause, also set up another city in our heart.
A ship full of clinical cases It's loaded with a hybrid fuel booster Transport all human pain and sorrow to the galaxy Waiting for fireworks that second is all human expectations If you can see it, it will cure you From now on, you will say goodbye to the bitter memories A ship full of clinical cases All the good and bad times are there They kept order and boarded the time machine This time they won't land A ship full of clinical cases All hope is loaded there

Would you say the following statement is true or false?
“If it’s online, it must be true…”
Or how about these statements?
“If it’s on TV, it must be true?”
“In a magazine?”
As you know, the answer is the same. Those statements are FALSE.
Why is that?
The goal of financial shows on TV is viewership, because advertisers pay for more viewers.
The goal of printed financial media is readership. Advertisers pay more for more readers.
The goal of financial radio is listenership – once again, advertisers demand listeners!
What’s the best way to drive engagement? The #1 way to drive viewership, readership, and listenership is creating fear and distrust.
The goal of mass media is not greater financial security, peace of mind, or freedom for YOU.
Many think the goal is show you how to enjoy a better lifestyle. This is FALSE.
The goal of this media is to sell more advertising by getting more viewers, readers and listeners.
Advice from the media. Advice from the Internet. Advice from friends and family. Unfortunately, even well-meaning advice can be dangerous. This certainly applies to financial advice.
Some people poll their friends and family. People who are well meaning, for sure, but haven’t been trained in creating wealth creation and preservation plans.
You only retire once.
Do you have enough confidence in your present plan to get a second opinion?
Talk with an expert who isn’t driven by advertisers. Get a custom-designed plan from someone who has successfully shown hundreds how to preserve, protect, and pass on their wealth so that you can retire abundantly.

Our club is friendly, the Krav Maga instruction is among the best you will find in the UK, and you will get fitter, stronger and more flexible along the way - what's not to like ?!
Self defence is the core framework of Krav Maga and as such, a large part of each class is based around what is called 'scenario based training', where a defence against a specific attack or threat type is demonstrated and then broken down slowly and practised - it is exactly this approach that makes krav maga different from a martial art - you should leave every class with realistic skills to better defend yourself.

We patriots all know by now that the ex- British spy Christopher Steele was the author of the fake dossier. I tell you, this dossier is making a fool of Hillary Clinton and her campaign who spent millions of dollars for this piece of crap but whats ironic about this document is the fact witch Hillary invested all that kind of money on a document to take then candidate Trump down which stayed active when Trump became President and the end result will be that it’s hopefully going to take Hillary down and all its participants and you dont have to be a rocket scientist to figure out who the participants are. Now with this new information that I am about to show it puts the FBI in even deeper crap.
The following was posted by Chuck Ross, published by The Daily Caller: “An FBI agent shared the name of former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos with Trump dossier author Christopher Steele during a meeting in early October 2016.”
“That new bit of information was revealed in a column published Wednesday by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius.”
“Ignatius reports that Steele, a former MI6 agent, met with an old FBI contact in Rome around Oct. 1, 2016 to share findings from his investigation into Donald Trump’s and the Trump campaign’s associations with the Russian government.”
“At this meeting, the FBI official asked Steele if he had ever heard of Papadopoulos,” reports Ignatius, who cited an official familiar with the meeting as his source.”
So what does this do? It confirms the fact that the FBI was communicating with Steele who was being paid by Clinton and her people to find dirt on Trump and the dossier in fact made up that false story of sexual intent. I also must stress that I am still not comfortable to verify that the FBI also paid Steele of which there are many sources that are stating as such, we can use the cliche where there’s a lot of smoke there has to be fire but I would like to read it or hear it on an official setting. This was from a previous Sean Hannity Show on Fox News :”Hannity believes it was either Comey or McCabe who paid for the discredited dossier. Carter agrees.” “I’m hearing from sources that either Comey or McCabe Paid,” Hannity said during last night’s broadcast. “Do you hear the same?”Carter responded, “I’m hearing both stories, Sean.” I even read one post that the FBI was ready to pay Steele and at the last moment Steele changed his mind. If any of you patriots can confirm FBI payment to Steele please comment on it but it cant be just hearsay. But lets say the FBI was possibly paying Steele wanting the same dirt as Hillary on Trump now you have an intelligence agency trying to take down a presidential candidate of which all this make Watergate look like sainthood and I believe with all the information we have to date it is so already.
Lets not forget what Chuck Schumer advised president elect Donald Trump the beginning of January, 2017 before Trump was sworn in and I must say I was astonished that Schumer could make a statement like this in public which convinces me the moron that he is: “New Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump is “being really dumb” by taking on the intelligence community and its assessments on Russia’s cyber activities.”
“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.”
“So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this.”
I guess Schumer is saying no president can control the intelligence agencies That just goes to show you how dangerous these agencies have become if you have a Senator from New York even though he’s a moron making a statement like that. Now you know Schumer is in the “in” crowd and for him to be talking like that it means that the same sentiment is floating around all over the place from these elites and when these intelligence agencies constantly hear Trump saying that he is going to drain the swamp they know darn well that imply’s to them.
We all know by now that Mueller and his many Clinton-Obama prosecutors who have donated big money to their campaigns were put there to take Trump down, after all they are the swamp and Trump has not changed his opinion of what he needs to do. This is all backfiring on them because of the stupidity of their scheming. There is so much more to come and I have even heard stories that when all this compiled mess comes out in its fullness to the American people the American people will throw a tamper tantrum that will create an earthquake of severe consequences that will vindicate President Trump for the duration of this term and his next one. The best thing that will come out of all this will be all the scum that will end up in prison, but thats another story for another day, isn’t it!

Today whistleblower and London metals trader Andrew Maguire told King World News that Western bullion banks are now close to panic as they take unprecedented action in paper gold and silver markets.
Strongest Physical Market Since $700 Gold
November 24 (King World News) – Andrew Maguire: “Eric, recently we have evidenced a slew of bearish commentary from respected analysts (I know many of them), calling for a gold and silver price crash into the end of the year. However, these bearish calls are reliant upon history repeating itself, while completely blinkered to the strongest physical market we have evidenced since November of 2008 when the price of gold was roughly $700…
Andrew Maguire continues: “As a wholesaler, I am absolutely certain the physical markets are collectively soaking up all of the ‘at the margin’ physical supply at current prices. It is this tightening physical supply that constrains the efforts of central planners wanting to continue capping the gold price.
Unprecedented Volume Of EFP’s
Recently, sovereign buyers have been waiting for the centrally planned pullback, at which point we immediately evidence strong spot index buying — locking in spot prices for delivery — as well as an unprecedented volume of Exchange of Futures for Physical (EFP) outflows related to undeliverable Comex short positions.
In simple terms, an EFP transaction constitutes the simultaneous execution of a Comex futures contract for an offsetting corresponding physical transaction or a forward contract on a physical transaction. What does that really mean? It provides a back door with which to move an undeliverable ‘reportable’ December Comex position into an opaque, unregulated over-the-counter marketplace where futures deals are settled off the books bilaterally.
Note the massive EFP Gold demand over the last month has now exceeded an unprecedented 650 tonnes of December gold futures outflows. To give an idea of just how much of a scramble there is to cover undeliverable shorts as we move into the largest delivery month of the year, since last Wednesday alone we have evidenced 73,205 Comex lots, (230 tonnes of contracts), exchanged or swapped for a ‘deliverable’ OTC London contract.
Banks Near Panic As Paper Leverage Skyrockets
During this same 6-day period, where over 73,000 gold futures contracts were swapped for so-called ‘physical’ over-the-counter positions, Comex Open Interest only fell by around 1,000 lots. What does this tell us? It tells us paper gold positions are being ‘hedged’ with paper gold over-the-counter positions. Given we have evidence from the Reserve Bank of India that the over-the-counter gold market in London trades at least 92 ounces of paper gold for every one ounce of physical gold held by the LBMA banks, this is clearly no hedge at all. It is a deliberate attempt to try to obscure brazen naked short undeliverable positions, which is not going unnoticed by the wholesale market participants. Deep backwardations between December gold and the cash spot market are bifurcating the paper vs. physical markets and accelerating these defensive flows.
Same Thing Taking Place In The Silver Market
During the same 6-day period leading into December expiry next week, silver also evidenced a ludicrous 1,375 tonnes of outflows, while during the same period Comex Open Interest barely moved. Given there is only around 700 tonnes of known silver (wholesale 1,000 ounce bars) collectively held by the LBMA banks, these EFP outflows scream tight supply and a desperate attempt to contain the price of silver in paper shackles. However, never before have we evidenced such enormous EFP volumes escalate into a delivery month. I expect these EFP outflows to increase all the way into December expiry and rollover next Thursday.
These EFP flows are all paper Comex lots draining out from a non-delivery market because increased reporting requirements forces CME members to prove gold and silver short positions are backed by physical. Deep backwardations between December gold and the cash spot market are bifurcating the paper vs. physical markets and accelerating these defensive flows. This unprecedented EFP action is all smoke and mirrors, fly-wheeled into unregulated paper gold and silver markets with Comex specs blinkered and wrong-footed into to a very strong physical market.
An Extraordinary Situation
I have been questioning the unprecedented escalation of these EFP flows with the CFTC. The recent escalation in these paper short outflows should raise a number of areas of concern for them. I believe these back door EFP flows are deliberately obscuring insiders’ footprints, and that it is obscuring a very tight physical market. This is the development of an extraordinary condition and clearly telegraphs a very tight physical market where conditions are so tight that insiders are forced…KWN has now released the powerful audio interview with London whistleblower and metals trader Andrew Maguire and you can listen to it by CLICKING HERE OR ON THE IMAGE BELOW.

In anticipation of the first Snow of this season, I set out late this morning to get some errands done before the snow began to fall. I got to Georgio’s Coffee Roasters a bit after noon and purchased some whole bean coffee for home, some ground coffee for a present, and a cup of their new Mexican Roast for the road, which turned out to be absolutely delicious (Coffee Without Equal)! From there I headed to Dick’s Sporting Goods to use up $20 in coupons on some additional Stocking Stuffers. There was a long line at the checkout, but it moved surprisingly quickly. I headed west and decided to take a chance, and try Trader Joe’s (always tough at midday, it has been impossible at any time during the pandemic). I figured it would put me in the neighborhood of The Butcher Place, hopefully, coinciding with my order being ready for pick up. The line to get in, was about 30 people. There was a time that I would have driven right past, but I had resolved that I would get on line (or is it “in” line?), regardless. I was inside within 15 minutes, and the kind of enjoyed the hustle and bustle, as it had a real Holiday Season feel. It didn’t take long to finish up, with every register open and all lines moving quickly (I do love that store). Back in the car, the Butcher informed that my order was ready – my plan had worked out. I was there within 5 minutes, picked up my order, and placed the all important Prime Rib order for dinner on Christmas Day (to be picked up next Wednesday).
By the time I got home, I had been in the car long enough to have listened to “A Very Special Christmas” and “A Very Special Christmas 2”. You know you are getting old, when the music you remember (and cherish) when it was new, is now considered “Classic”. I have them on CD’s! I guess even my car is kind of old now, since it has a CD Player. Alright, about the music. Since I lifted my self imposed moratorium on Christmas Music, last week, I have been listening to a whole lot of it. I have been impressed with some of the very new Christmas Music. Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, Dan and Shay, Kelly Clarkson and Brett Eldridge, Michael Buble (ehh), Sia (Candy Cane Lane) and Mariah Carey all have real good Christmas Music helping to fill up the air waves. BUT, both of those CD’s are still my favorite music for this time of year – and actually the only CD’s I still actually use (I found one of them in the car CD Player today – safely kept since last year).
As much as I love them both, there really is no comparing the two albums. There are only a couple of songs on the first one, that I ever look to skip. The 2nd volume has several, that I find it hard not to skip over. There is some original music (Run DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis”) but mostly it has great artists creating great versions of Christmas Classics. Take a look and you tell me, which one is better.
No Contest, really!
These were done in 1987 and 1992! Definitely Classics. There is certainly great Holiday Music that is not on either of these albums (The Waitresses, “Christmas Wrapping” and who doesn’t love Adam Sandler’s Hanukkah Songs), but these are the two that really get me there. If I had to choose only one Christmas Song to listen to, it would be the Grand Finale on “A Very Special Christmas”, Stevie Nicks singing “Silent Night”. If that song doesn’t put you in the Spirit, you didn’t listen well enough.
It did begin, and still is snowing!

While there were many success stories, there are still too many barriers for communities, particularly in some of the most deprived parts of the country.
What’s the future of localism?
We set up the Commission on the Future of Localism in 2017, in association with Power to Change, to reinvigorate the localism agenda and help communities take advantage of their rights.
The Commission was chaired by Lord Kerslake, former Head of the Civil Service and President of the Local Government Association. We gathered feedback from community organisations, parliamentarians, local government and policy experts.
What we’re calling for
Our Commission heard how too often communities are unable to affect the change they know their neighbourhood needs because ‘real power resides elsewhere’.
Our research found that:
- 80 per cent of people feel they have little or no control over decisions that affect their country
- 71 per cent feel they have little or no control over local decisions.
We created the People Power report that detailed our findings, and what we think would help communities going forward.
The People Power report calls for radical action to:
- Strengthen our local institutions
- Devolve tangible power resources and control to communities
- Ensure equality in community participation
- Deliver change in local government behaviour and practice to enable local initiatives to thrive.
We need a localism agenda which makes the case that power starts with people.
Read the People Power report
Find out in more detail the findings of the Localism Commission.

uh hyeh heh
Our Navajo word for today is Thank You.
It’s good to point out that the Navajo ‘h’ sound is a lot more exasperated when followed by a short (and a short high tone) ‘e’. The second ‘h’ is less pronounced, or more in line with normal English usage.
Here are a few examples that are useful for understanding expressions of thanks:
Baa ahééh nisin, díidí. (About it I feel grateful, this here.)
Bimá sání dóó bicheii ahéhee’ bidiní. (His grandma and his grandpa, thank you, you tell them.)
Ahéhee’ shikéí dóó shidine’é… (Thank you my friends/family and my people…) [in gatherings].

Methodist Healthcare Ministries Awards $1.1 million as part of COVID-19 Relief Efforts
Award is in addition to $32 million already provided to funded partners in 2020
San Antonio, TX (April 27, 2020)– Methodist Healthcare Ministries of South Texas, Inc.–a private, faith-based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to creating access to health care for low-income families and the uninsured—has awarded $1,151,443 million in emergency grant funding to 46 nonprofit, health and social service agencies in its 74-county service area for COVID-19 response and recovery efforts.
“During these unprecedented times, Methodist Healthcare Ministries remains committed to increasing access to care for the least served across South Texas,” said Jaime Wesolowski, President & CEO of Methodist Healthcare Ministries. “This investment ensures that our partners have additional support in continuing to provide critical physical and mental health care and essential resources for our friends and neighbors impacted by this pandemic. We are proud to stand with our communities who are hurting and need a little extra help today. We know that they are resilient and that by working together, we can ensure that everyone has access to the care and support they need.”
While $433,409 was awarded to agencies in and around Bexar County, special consideration was given to underserved communities that do not have the same degree of philanthropic support as San Antonio. To ensure there is equity in the accessibility to response and recovery resources in Methodist Healthcare Ministries’ 74-county service area, $718,034 is being awarded to agencies that primarily serve outside Bexar County.
Grants will cover a three-month period beginning April 1 through June 30. Some of the organizations receiving this funding include:
- Central Texas Food Bank (multiple counties), $50,000 for food assistance
- Christian Assistance Ministries (San Antonio), $35,500 to supply handwashing stations, showers and hygiene supplies for homeless people
- Coastal Bend Food Bank (multiple counties), $100,000 for food assistance
- Concho Valley Regional Food Bank (multiple counties), $25,000 for food assistance
- Food Bank of the Golden Crescent (multiple counties), $50,000 for food assistance
- Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley (multiple counties), $100,000 for food assistance
- Fuerza Unida (San Antonio), $7,425 for an emergency food pantry
- I Care San Antonio, $33,435 to continue operations during the crisis
- Jewish Family Service (San Antonio), $32,529 to support a collaborative six-agency mental health response to low-income students and families sheltering in place, through telehealth/mobile mental health resources.
- Mission 911 (Corpus Christi), $25,000to help isolate and care for homeless individuals who need to “shelter in place”
- Phoenix Center (multiple counties in Marble Falls area), $10,000 for telehealth services to provide trauma-informed care to underserved rural children and families
- San Antonio Food Bank (multiple counties), $200,000 for food assistance
- South Texas Food Bank (multiple counties), $75,000 for food assistance
- Texas Diaper Bank (multiple counties), $50,000 for families in need of diapers and other hygiene supplies
- The Children’s Shelter (San Antonio), $15,000 to meet increased demand and additional costs due to sheltering in place
Through this funding, Methodist Healthcare Ministries granted $600,000 to the seven Food Banks covering the 74-county service area, as a strategic emergency response, and $342,554 to 31 churches and church agencies to help respond to basic needs in urban and rural communities throughout South Texas.
This funding opportunity is in addition to the $32 million granted this year to over 90 agencies across South Texas which supports access to care, integrated delivery systems, patient-centered health models and other programs and services aimed at addressing the Social Determinants of Health that disproportionately impact the least served.” Details of this announcement to be released publicly soon.
Methodist Healthcare Ministries remains committed to provide safe, affordable health care to San Antonio’s low-income population through virtual medical and behavioral health care—including food and other emergency assistance during this pandemic.

A core set of modules have been created and integrated into AEM, each developed independently, before being introduced to an individual page context. Due to the very modular nature of the build I decided to used the BEM CSS methodology for isolated CSS into separate components. This has worked extremely well, although I do admit it isn’t exactly pleasing on the eye!
The site is in constant development with regular refinements and releases. This release process is all helped by using the full Atlassian suite (JIRA, Confluence, Bamboo, Stash), allowing seamless tracking of issues and improvements from realisation to the final release to the live website.
The website / platform has won the following awards:
- Deliverables - Bronze - Digital Impact Awards 2016
- Healthcare & pharmaceuticals - Silver - Digital Impact Awards 2016
- Top Digital Communications website FTSE 350 2016 - Radley Yeldar
- Client: AstraZeneca
- Media: Website
- Technology: Sass, Singularity, Breakpoint, Browserify, jQuery, Modernizer, Grunt, BrowserSync, Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)

Say it isn’t so.
— Edhat (@Edhat) September 12, 2017
A bronze statue of Catholic saint Father Junípero Serra at the Old Santa Barbara Mission was decapitated and splattered with red paint, Santa Barbara police said on Monday.
Saint Junipero Serra was a Spanish priest and friar of the Franciscan Order. He is credited with the foundation and spread of the Catholic Church on the West Coast of the United States from 1768 to 1784, when it was still mission territory.
Via SF Gate:
The statue, on the western side of the Central Coast property near the mission’s office, has since been covered with a tarp. The Santa Barbara mission has been called the “Queen of the Missions.”
The statue was vandalized in a similar fashion as another Father Serra statue in Monterey last year. That figure, which was beheaded but not painted, has since been repaired. Another, in Santa Cruz, was vandalized with the word “genocide” in late 2015.
Monica Orozco, executive director of the Santa Barbara Mission, told The Tribune they have not yet decided if the statue will be replaced.
“We will let people know once we know more information,” Orozco said. “We reported it to SBPD this morning. It likely happened during the night or early in the morning.”
Orozco said the William H. Hannon Foundation made the bronze statue of Serra, a Spanish Franciscan friar who founded nine California missions.
Serra, who died in 1784 at the age of 71, was canonized by Pope Francis in 2015.
The decision to name Serra a saint was controversial, since his critics point to a history of driving out thousands of Native Americans in his quest to spread Christianity.
The Los Angeles Times reported in August that a Serra statue in Mission Hills, across the street from the San Fernando Mission, had the word “murderer” painted on its base and its hands were painted red.

Critics and gamers were often at odds concerning this year's Prototype , which some absolutely adored while others found it to be a letdown in comparison to Sucker Punch's stellar inFamous .
But if you're in the former camp and you'd very much appreciate a sequel, you'll be happy to know that Radical Entertainment just might be working on Prototype 2 even as we speak. The evidence comes from designer Malcolm Wilson's LinkedIn page , where it states he's working on a currently "unannounced project" for Radical. The interesting part about this is that he started on the game the month after completing his work on Prototype – completed January 2009, new project started February 2009 – so that may be a good indication as to the identity of this mystery title. On the other hand, it's easy to just say, "well, duh, he finished one game and started working on another immediately after the first one was done. That's what work is." But those who have completed Prototype know the ending leaves plenty of room for a sequel, and considering the solid performance of the game on the sales charts, Radical could very well be pursuing a follow-up adventure for Alex Mercer. So would you like to see Prototype 2 or would you rather they focus their efforts elsewhere?
For our part, we still say inFamous was easily the better game, but we know of many people who enjoyed both. Playing as superhuman dudes typically has a positive effect.

I went outside to get the mail when i saw about 5 to 10 lights flashing very fast and very close together above the tree tops a few miles away, towards the east.They would flash very fast about 4 times, then another would flash. they were very close together. i tried to video them but couldn’t see the lights on the screen. i went inside to get my wife’s phone hoping it would pick them up and when i came out the lights were gone. some clouds or fog was moving in so they were probably just covered up.

I haven’t used it yet, but it will only be wise to link to Feed Wrangler for the majority of people showing up here in search of alternatives to Google Reader.
I heard of feed wrangler a few days back from Shawn blanc and I was curious to find out more about it and read this review of it by Viticci.
From the review, Feed Wrangler does feel like it is robust and has been built to last with a business model. You should read the review by Viticci if you are looking for an alternative for Google Reader.
For me though, i would prefer to run my servers and will be switching to Fever shortly.

MATS aims to identify key leverage points for changes in agricultural trade policy that foster the positive and reduce the negative impacts of trade on sustainable development and human rights. Particular attention is paid to SDG1 No Poverty, SDG2 Zero Hunger and SDG3 Good Health and Well-being, as well as SDG6 Clean Water, SDG13 Climate Action and SDG15 Life on Land.
Focus is on improving the governance, design and implementation of trade practices, regimes and policies at national, EU, African and global levels. In implementation, MATS develops and pilots new tools for a systemic analysis, and assessment, of the interactions between agricultural trade, investments, sustainability and development.
MATS has the ambition to set a new benchmark in trade policy analysis. It not only conducts orthodox quantitative analysis to identify major trends in international trade relations and their general effects, but also identifies impacts that trade agreements have by co-creating and applying new participatory tools and methods in trade-related analyses.
MATS seeks to transcend beyond previous quantitative, econometric and model-based analyses. Inter-disciplinary in approach, MATS combines analyses from agricultural economics, sustainable development research, and trade and market modelling with research on institutional, regulatory and legal frame-works to broaden and deepen earlier analyses and make policy recommendations. The project partners aim to inform relevant debates and policy developments based on this diverse portfolio of perspectives.
MATS wants to contribute to the development of a fair-trade system that supports local development and promote labour and human rights on a global level. International and national food security regulations are considered to study the relationship between possible conflicts amongst diverging policy objectives, measures and subsidies, and their respective impact on climate mitigation efforts and the economic development of poor countries.

Do You Leave Gaps Between Composite Decking Boards?
Installing Ultradecking is possible without any professional help, especially if you have prior experience and knowledge in building. However, in the construction process, there are many small yet crucial details that you have to observe and follow. These aspects will affect your decking, especially its longevity and durability. One of the most important things that many forget or don’t realize is to leave gaps between composite decking boards. But the question is, do you need to do it? And why is it so important?
Decking Spacing and Why It’s Important
When you install composite decking, especially if you do the DIY route, you have to remember to leave a gap between composite decking boards. Many people who try to build deckings for the first time often forget about this crucial detail. But the question is, why is it critical?
One of the main problems with decking is the expansion and shrinking of the decking boards. While not severe as wooden decking boards, some composites will still expand and shrink slightly under certain circumstances. Some boards do when exposed to high temperatures, while others are prone to moisture. However, the former is more common for composite decking boards.
When your decking shrinks, it can cause some accidents in your home. The gaps may become too big that some people may trip when walking on the decking. With too much air, it can also decrease your decking’s resistance to fire.
On the other hand, if there’s not much room for decking boards to expand, which they will eventually do, they can create friction and damage each other. Worst case scenario, due to the pressure from the expansion, the decking boards may warp.
Aside from that, decking boards that are too close to each other don’t drain water as fast as ones that have sufficient spacing. When cleaning the decking, dirt, pollen, and debris can also get stuck in between the tight spaces of your decking boards. Not only will it promotes the growth of moulds and mildew, but it can also be a cause of decking board warping.
For all the reasons mentioned above, leaving gaps in between your decking boards is critical. It can either damage your decking or preserve its life. By putting spaces in between the boards, you can improve your decking’s airflow, durability, ease of maintenance, and safety. But the question that follows is, how do you space your decking boards properly? And how can you tell how much space you’ll need to put in between the decking boards?
How to Space Your Decking Boards Properly
There are two types of spacing for your composite decking boards, namely side-to-side spacing and end-to-end spacing. For side-to-side, you will need to put anywhere from 1/8 inches (3 mm) to 5/16 inches (8 mm). As for the end-to-end spacing, you need to have 1/32 inches to 3/16 inches.
Of course, not all composite decking boards are equal. Because of this, you will need to put consideration on how you’ll space them, including how big the gaps between the decking boards will be. One of the things that you should consider is how much will they expand and shrink.
For instance, dark colours such as grey composite decking boards absorb more heat. When it comes to thermal expansion, they can increase in size faster than lighter-coloured ones. Depending on the brand you’ll be using, some may be more susceptible to expansion than others.
Lastly, when you are installing composite decking, you may need to consult with the boards’ manufacturers. They can give you clear and concise instructions on the building process, including how much gap you will have to put in between the decking boards. Some installation guides may not even require you to put spaces, especially considering how excellent composite decking materials are.
In any case, placing between composite decking boards can either make or break your decking. So you must remember to follow any instructions on how to do them properly.

Low Down and Dirty STRESS MANAGEMENT
Don’t you just hate those corporate, ego ingratiating, stress management seminars. The ones where you are bombarded with a truck load of “scientific data” that conveniently re-convolutes your life and quietly contradicts its self leaving you more knotty than before?
Or the mindless regurgitation of the same old blah balh schuwee feel good ideas like – eat healthier, sleep more, do yoga and wham-bam you will turn into a stress free green freak, munching on super organic – or was that orgasmic… zero polluting, everything free, tropical jungle lala-land wonder fruit?
……..Well, back in the real world, we realize that our stress is a complex and sometimes toxic combination of emotions, hormones, identity and survival responses that is perfectly tuned to get us through the day.
Yes the diet and the yoga and the sleep will all help and are worthy goals to achieve, but how can we even consider them when we are barely coping as we are now?
The only effective stress management system is one that will empower you to understand yourself better, bring your attention to yourself and your responses in the moment, and allow you to formulate a medium to long term strategy to direct you to your success.
Here are four simple things that you can do every day for 30 days.
WARNIG! Diligently following this system could just change your life!
Get yourself a diary and write in it 5 times a day.
Set an alarm on your phone to go off at 07h00, 10h00, 13h00, 16h00 and 18h00. When your alarm goes off, write down how you feel – ONE word, then three very short reasons WHY you feel like that.
As well as this, log your basic diet – what you eat and when, your coffee and tea consumption and your exercise done in the day. This forces your awareness to your self without any judgement or pre conceived ideas.
Learn to breath. Go to dance classes with your partner, try a few meditation classes to learn the techniques of meditation. Once you know how to do it, you can then apply your specific religious beliefs to your meditations. Remember that adding oxygen to your system will lower your blood pressure and will reduce your stress.
Daily exercise is important. Resistance exercise and interval training maintains a healthy body tone, fat levels and bone density and cardiovascular exercise – dancing and walking, maintain healthy cardiovascular system. Include your partner, family and friends in you exercise routine so you can help to motivate each other and build stronger social bonds.
Take some time to list your achievements and congratulate yourself for them. This will help you to define where you are in the moment and will also enable you to set and plan future goals. You will see your life more in perspective and will feel less overwhelmed.
After doing your diary observations for thirty days, take an hour or two and go through your diary. Find out for yourself how you have been living your life, what you have been eating, how your exercise regime is progressing.
Find three to five things that are negative and that are repeating in your life and write a short 300 word explanation or story around each one of those things so that you understand them fully . Then see what you can do to change those negatives into positive motivators in your life.
Your stress levels are a direct response to how you are operating in your world. Empower yourself and take charge of our life!
Here is an interesting concept!
The only purpose we have in life is to add value…
I have been toying with the idea of the meaning of life – heavy philosophical stuff you may think, but a perfectly natural occurrence or all of us, and I have observed that the only constant that permeates through out the whole of our existence, and in all spheres of our existence is the concept of value. The basic premise is;
How much value do I need to add to get the value I want out?
“RUBBISH, never – I am not that superficial, I’m a good person!” you may shout and you will be 100% correct, but (don’t you just hate those but’s?) the very concept of being a good person and striving to do your best is an act of adding value for a particular gain, even if the gain is just the satisfaction of facing responsibility, or the satisfaction of helping, or even experiencing religious reverence.
As a simple illustration, ask yourself;
Why do you shop at X store, or are friends with X person?
Because at some level the perceived value of your engagement with the store or the person adds value to your life.
Another aspect of this thought process occurs when you feel as if you are unable to perform a task, or to help someone. You feel bad, insecure, or embarrassed because you feel as if you are not able to add the necessary expected value.
The amount of perceived value that we add to life is directly responsible for how we feel about ourselves and our self worth.
I encourage you this week to go out there and add as much value to your customers, co workers, family and any other circumstance that you may find yourself in. Even in difficult circumstances, be firm and add value!
In so doing, everyone that you come into contact with has a better opportunity to thrive, and you have the opportunity to feel valued.
Humanity is a wonderful and complicated interconnection of “customer support” in which we play a crucial role, so go out there and be valuable and have fun!
Have you ever noticed that everyone but you seems to have their “act together”- that you look into others perfection and see your own miserable self reflected right back at you, then in a cacophony of safe insecurity you hit your bottom, bounce, and present that brave face, that arrogant smirk, that clubs that self righteous junk right back at those looking into your own miserable yet “I got my act together” veneer of perfection?
Have you ever sat at the feet of yet another self absorbed guru (like there is any other kind) and secretly wondered, while gaga grinning in inner peace, what it would be like if gaga grinning guru here were to self immolate, spontaneously, now, so that while he sizzled and greased up the floor with his holy oil, you could ease the cramp in your back, legs, bum and toes, that was gifted to you by the personal enlightenment pose of the now fast reducing master?
Have you ever instinctively felt that there was something out there, something greater than you, but have been unable to extract yourself form the whirlwind drama of life to look around to see what exactly it is that is disturbing your everyday mundane perfection?
Have you ever considered that you are prefect as you are?
Remember that what we do for a living is not who we are – it is an important and complex interpersonal and social means to a financial end. It is important to understand and work in harmony with those around us, but that title and position, no matter how lofty or lowly, is not you. It is just a transitory position in your journey through life.
While you are facing the responsibilities of life, don’t forget to take some time to be yourself – even if it means putting a picture of a dragon or a fairy on your desktop!
Always remember that you are unique, perfect whole and complete as you are – you are free to be you whenever you choose.
Remember those days as a child when the world was filled with possibility?
When a few bricks and a piece of card became a pirate ship or a space ship?
When there was no doubt in your mind that your newly imagined pirate ship could take you on an infinite adventure and that you would always be victorious!
You were always perfect in your own world.
Day dreaming is a unique behaviour that allows us to safely yet realistically explore possibility. It is closely linked to fantasy and the exploration there of, and a lot of our day dreaming may incorporate a large amount of fantasy. What day dreaming serves to do is to assimilate external experience and other peoples ideas , experiences and concepts into a single imaginary event which we then experience form our own unique perspective.
Day dreaming is a natural way of conditioning your subconscious mind to find something acceptable or unacceptable and there buy creating space or managing space in your life for the actual experience. There is also very little judgement of self or others in a day dream, and are few limitations to the imagined experience. By paying attention to our day dreams, deep insights can be gained into your self , motivations and expectations as well as into more negative areas of your personal limitations and inhibitions.
One can also re analyse trauma and other stress events in a day dream which allows us to create just the required degree of emotional separation for you from that event so we can cope better and eventually become stronger.
Dare to dream, indulge in that fantasy for a moment and alloy your mind to fine tune your experience in this wonderful reality!
What would it be like if…………?
We all want to do more, get more, achieve more….
But if we could allocate more time to X project, we would!
Most of us have already committed 100% of our valuable time to existing tasks at hand, so how do we grow our business, career and even social selves?
Have you ever played one of those slide the pieces puzzle games where you have to shuffle pieces around to get from A to B?
Becoming more efficient is a process just like that, we have to prioritise and schedule tasks in such a way so as to get all our stuff done and free up more time.
The best way to do this is to prioritise things in your life.
It is a given that you have responsibility to your family, friends and work, and would not jeopardise any of those. All we need to do is get the order right!
I like to divide my areas of influence into three categories.
Drop everything and run emergency response
Important to attend to before everything else
Not so important, but needs attention
See if you can categorise all areas of your life into similar categories – for the family area in my life, children are 1, siblings and parents 2, others 3. For work, imminent deadlines 1, next weeks projects 2, yearly goals 3. Even vehicle maintenance can be categorised in this way – a cam-belt replacement would be 1, then a service and tyres 2, then air-conditioner re-gas 3.
We are always going to have to deal with a curve ball or two, but if we can re calibrate ourselves regularly and re focus, we will become more efficient, more pro active, less reactive and more in charge of our lives.
How long did it take you to learn to ride a bicycle?
How many times did you fall off that bicycle before you got it right?
Why then do we expect that other areas of our lives will run smoothly and hassle free on the first try?
There are so many variables interacting and influencing our lives that is amazing that we get anything together at all!
It seems that the only way that we as humans can progress along a chosen path is to assess all the variables and order them in such a way that the transaction or set of actions progresses in a specific order to get us to our desired outcome. In most cases, if something goes wrong, the whole process stops and we have to re evaluate the order in which we placed the variables and try again. Success in life seems to be all about implementing the right formula with a compatible set of circumstances at the right time.
To get the timing right, you need to observe and be patient!
Observe the outcomes of your actions as they are today. Judge for yourself if the outcome is acceptable to you in relation to your expectation. If you are not satisfied, look at the actions that you took and see where your actions can be improved. Also look at the technology available and decide for yourself if you need to upgrade it or even adapt it to suit your purpose better. It is pointless inventing an iPod like device and not having access to suitable memory technology.
Don’t lose sight of your end goal. Be patient!
Allow other important variables to mature to a point where they are compatible and can add meaningful value to the action that you need to take to successfully achieve your goal.
In most cases you will notice that a lack of success is nothing more that a timing issue. Don’t be too hard on yourself, re assess your actions and try again!
Speed-bumps and Potholes
Have you ever been cruising comfortably through life, everything going according to plan when suddenly BAM!
You hit a speed-bump or pothole and your well made plans are lying in tatters at your feet leaving you struggling to cope?
Logically we know that life is carrying on, that we are alive and coping, but things are no longer working out as planned and the feelings of joy, happiness and freedom have gone!
In this type of situation, it is vital to keep our perspective flexible and mobile. We need to be able to quickly and efficiently zoom our perspective into and out of the situation and its results that are being currently experienced. Try this zooming for a moment.
Select a small problem that you are experiencing. Focus on the minute details of it, then imagine yourself zooming out and seeing you problem in relation to your co-workers, your family, your neighbourhood or even further out if you can.
Did you notice how the perceived severity of your problem changes?
This fluidity of perspective allows us to gain different understandings of the situation and there by enables us to make better decisions about what we need to do to regain our comfortable cruising along equilibrium.
Once our perspective begins to shift, we are able to make informed and good decisions and we should usually feel empowered enough to take decisive action to get ourselves back into equilibrium.
Remember to check your spare wheel occasionally…. always be aware of your financial, moral and emotional situation and use your speed-bumps and potholes to slow you down enough to prevent yourself over committing to things that may not be necessary or appropriate for you in you life as it is now.
Speed-bumps and potholes are a wonderful way for us to slow down, take stock of our position, appreciate what we have and move decisively into our future!
“The Lord helps those who help themselves”
Don’t you hate it when people lord this phrase over you?
I tend to immediately go on the defensive with phrases like “if only….” or “I’m trying”
Taking a long hard look at the basic fundamentals of life, I soon realised that there are so many variables to consider, so many different possibilities and interconnected options, the “if only…” reason is immediately invalidated. “If only…” is only a possibility once the action or outcome has occurred. The outcome is then not liked or accepted. This position of dislike is used as the premise for the “if only”. It can not therefore be used as an excuse for anything!
The essence of life is survival. “I’m trying” has no influence what so ever on our survival. We either survive or we don not, there is no trying involved at all, just decisive action. This seems to be a hard core, blunt observation, but it extrapolates out into every single thing that we do in our lives. We can not try to do things like eating, driving, loving or typing. We either do them, or we do not. The very first time that you got behind a steering wheel of a car and engaged the gears, you were driving… possibly not very well, but driving none the less.
Everything in life is a combination of our decisions and our actions. We decide something and then take the necessary action to achieve the desired outcome. To do this, we need to be able to analyse our environment, to anticipate possible outcomes, understand the personal responsibility that we have in those outcomes, and then to have the courage to take decisive action. No matter how subtle or complicated life becomes, this core principle holds true. Observation, anticipation, responsibility, action.
Look at your life and circumstances, take responsibility for where you are right now. Decide where you would like to be, be courageous and take decisive action to get you on the path to your success!
What is life all about?
What is the one thing that we have to do all the time?
How do we get ahead in our business careers, personal and spiritual lives?
The only answer to these questions is – Talking to People!
I had the morning off yesterday and I had some business to do at my local police station. I always dread going to a government office because of the perceived inefficiency, corruption and other horror stories which I am sure are more urban legends than general common experience!
I decided, as I was parking my car, to see how many people I could talk to. Not just ask questions about what I wanted to know, but actually engage with people, talk to them as fellow humans.
My experience was astounding!
I discussed the merits of drinking hot water with ginger, mint and lemon instead of coffee and tea to help people who are reporting traumatic incidents. An old and wise sergeant debated the stages of a personal relationship as his father taught it to him – in depth insights on infatuation, love, parenting and friendship. The cashier lady discussed concepts of honesty and integrity that they encourage at that station and how that has helped her teenage children, and I sat in on an impromptu lesson given to patrol officers by a private security officer on how to approach a suspicious vehicle!
Who would have thought that there was such a depth and diversity of knowledge and human experience at a simple community police station?
What other human insights are out there that we miss in the hustle and bustle of our daily grind?
As best you can, take some time to talk to the humans around you. You will be surprised at the depth and value that will be added to your life!

Most students would like to know how to make college essay stand out among other works from their peers, especially in regards to admissions essays. Though the task is really challenging, it’s not impossible. Just set a goal, take some time to prepare, and then you will definitely be able to write an attention grabbing essay.
Writing a Captivating Essay
Pay attention to these points:
1) The introduction. You’ve probably been told more than a hundred times about the importance of the beginning of your work. However, no one can actually give a clear piece of advice on how it should look. Some people say, since an essay is a formalized piece of writing, your introduction shouldn’t be too original. Others, on the contrary, say this is your only chance to be remembered. What should you do? The answer is simple: google the “how to start college essay examples” query, and go to official websites of major educational institutions and analyze essays published there as good examples. This way you will easily figure out to what extent you can be creative.
2) The length. Though this may sound surprising, the length of your essay may reveal a lot to the admission officers or your professor. If you write incredibly lengthy essays, what it means is that you are unable to concentrate on the central topic, and that you can’t cut out any side thoughts that come to your head. So how many words college essay should contain for admission officers to understand you are the right person to enter the college? For admission essays, it’s no more than 650 words. There’s no such restriction for the academic essays you write during courses, but the 650 word length is optimal.
3) The personality. This is quite tricky, since you have to be official and charming at the same time. Of course, you are not supposed to write slang words or jokes that are popular around the Internet, but try to be different from the thousands of applicants and their essays. How to make a college essay stand out? Be yourself and give your personal opinion. You can even avoid giving any arguments, if it’s an admission essay based on the narrative of your experiences. But remember to back up your point of view with ideas and quotations of famous people in the essays you will write during the studying process.
4) The language. This one is quite similar to the previous point, because these two pieces of advice have the same goal: to force you to show your personality. By saying you should use your language, we don’t encourage the use of slang and other lexis inappropriate for scientific writing, but we encourage you to show your style. You need to use every single opportunity to capture the admissions officer’s attention. And if you’ve forgotten how many words a college essay should contain, it’s only 650. Use them all for your benefit.

Investors may not be ready to break up with Abercrombie & Fitch for the longterm, although the fashion retailer’s stock declining as much as 34% this week might indicate otherwise.
The drop was an eye-opener, since the teen-to-young-adult Abercrombie chain, along with its surf-oriented Hollister stores, had been Wall Street sweethearts during an impressive two-year brand turnaround.
“I think the significant decline in stock price was just a normalization, closer to where their price should have been if it were not for the mask created by the success of Hollister over the past two years,” Tyler Higgins, leader of the retail practice at AArete, tells Fortune.
The company’s stock started its nosedive after a Wednesday earnings call announced same-store sales grew by 1%, rather than the 1.4% estimated by analysts. The company also stated its plans to close three of its flagship stores. In just over 24 hours, Abercrombie’s stock lost $441.5 million in market capitalization. By Thursday, share prices dropped to $16.92 from $25.64.
While Hollister is a major source of revenue for its parent company, and has largely been credited for Abercrombie’s recent growth, consumer interest has shown signs of leveling. Hollister’s same-store sales fell 1.4% short of analysts’ predictions, rising only 2% this quarter. This time last year, sales had grown 6%.
“What that trend did was mask the overall problem that has plagued all mall retailers,” Higgins says. “Abercrombie has a foot-traffic problem.”
This lackluster mall shopping was exacerbated by something as simple as bad weather.
“In the U.S., where the bulk of Abercrombie & Fitch’s business is, recent mall traffic trends deteriorated, in part reflecting a cooler spring versus last year,” Marie Driscoll, the managing director of Luxury & Fashion at Coresight Research, tells Fortune.
Although investors might be wary about the closure of a Hollister flagship store in New York and two Abercrombie & Fitch flagships in Japan and Italy, as CEO Fran Horowitz assured them Wednesday, “large format, expensive flagships are not part of our go- forward strategy,” since customers now prefer “smaller, more intimate, omni-channel focused spaces.”
For a couple years, Abercrombie has been investing in smaller locations to create more personalized and engaging experiences—like technologically savvy fitting rooms.
At the end of its first quarter, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. had 857 stores globally, with 660 in the United States. By the end of the year, it expects to close up to 40 Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch stores globally and open 85 “new experiences,” which includes new stores and remodels.
“Abercrombie is realizing what numerous others have and that is: Flagship stores can tax a retailer’s business, especially as they evaluate a major transformation,” Higgins says. “The upside of the transformation is that Abercrombie is becoming more nimble as they improve customer experience as well as productivity of their stores. The downside is that the smaller stores put a greater tax on operating costs for each store to maintain revenue growth in a small format.”
A Looming Trade War
A new round of U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, ordered by President Donald Trump, threaten additional costs of 25% on fashion apparel, which could take a toll on Abercrombie.
Horowitz told investors the company is “proactively reducing the amount of merchandise sourced from China.” While Abercrombie in 2017 imported approximately 40% of its U.S. merchandise from China, in 2018 it reduced imports to 25%, and hopes to lower its reliance to 20% by the end of 2019.
“Many apparel and retail executives have conservative outlooks near term as we work out trade and tariff issues,” Driscoll says. “The higher tariffs will impact margins and earnings near term for many. In tandem with other apparel brands and retailers, concerns about the U.S.-China tariff uncertainty has slowed purchases among the fast-growing Chinese middle class/luxury shopper, both in the U.S. and in China,” where Abercrombie has 12 stores.
The Good News?
While Abercrombie’s position might seem precarious with its stock declining and looming trade wars, it certainly isn’t the only fashion retailer taking a beating in the market. So does this seemingly ominous market response really represent a retreat from Abercrombie’s turnaround narrative, or is it another case of overhype?

The average gap between two periods is around 28 days. If your periods are often delayed by more than a week then you could be suffering from oligomenorrhea. This is the medical term for the common condition of irregular periods. The causes for irregular periods can be many – thyroid disorders, stress, travel, excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine, etc. Here are some foods that can help you treat irregular periods.
From getting rid of cold to improving digestion, ginger seems to be the number one health spice. But this Vitamin C and magnesium-rich food can come to your rescue in case of irregular periods too.Everyday indulges in some ginger tea if nibbling on ginger is too hard a task. It helps contracting the uterus which facilitates in kick-starting the period. Add a bit of jaggery as a sweetener to your ginger tea for better results.
Eating papaya on a regular basis too helps in contracting the uterus muscles. Apart from producing heat in the body, the fruit contains carotene. This substance stimulates or regulates that estrogen hormone levels in the body. Naturally, this induces periods or menses more frequently. No wonder, it is advised to abstain from this fleshy fruit during pregnancy.
Dr Vandana Khanijo, Vimannagar , Pune opines, “Apart from flushing out unfertilized eggs, menstrual blood is mainly the result of the uterus wall shedding. That is why eating foods that help shed the uterus lining or soften it are vital.” Pineapple is one such fruit as it contains the enzyme bromelain. Moreover, this tangy fruit also helps in the generation of red and white blood cells. This implies an improved blood flow.
This herb may be very similar to coriander but has slightly different properties. Since ages parsley has been used as an emmenagogue i.e. a herb that increases the profusion of blood flow in the pelvic area.Don’t forget to include boiled parsley water or parsley tea to your daily liquid diet.
Once again, apart from clearing your bowels, this is yet another spice that can work miracles with your menstrual cycle. Gulping down a glass of boiled water with carom seeds or ajwain, helps stimulate the uterus effectively. The best part is that its anti-spasmodic qualities help in preventing menstrual cramps and pains as well.
Apart from adopting these effective, easy and home-based methods, it is always advisable to consult a doctor. Getting medical treatment from an expert as per your unique body type and condition is vital. Moreover, the problem is half solved only when the root cause of the issue is diagnosed. Which is why we recommend you visit a renowned gynaecologist at Apollo Clinic for all problems or doubt you may have regarding periods.

“On Monday, the Government published its Industrial Strategy White Paper, and I’m delighted to say that Construction was included within the first wave of sector deals. The Construction Sector Deal two page overview is here.
Securing this deal is a reflection of how well the sector has come together over the last year – and spoken with one voice about where it wants to go, and what it needs to do to get there. This deal is also a reflection of the vital role we have to play in delivering the UK’s infrastructure and housing ambitions – and of Government’s commitment to working with us to deliver on them.
The deal also represents a golden opportunity to reap economic gains from improved productivity and constructing assets more efficiently, creating high-skilled, well-paid jobs in all parts of the UK and driving up exports to the global infrastructure market.
These are exciting times for Construction – and I look forward to working with colleagues in Government and across the sector to make this deal a reality over the coming weeks and months”.
A separate paper setting out the full details of the deal will be published in the coming weeks.

This is a late blog post. I attended and presented at the 2012 Thermal Management Systems Symposium in Scottsdale, AZ on Oct 31st and Nov 1st. It focused on the latest and most pertinent topics in the field of thermal systems technology today. These are my notes on three notable presentations (and my take always), specifically in engine thermal management and related fuel economy benefits.
It is interesting to note before I start that I saw a lot of commonality among car manufacturers in the technologies they were exploring for fuel economy improvements, generally combining many of strategies together to improve the fuel economy performance.
Fuel economy improvement during engine warm-up
The first presentation that I have copious notes written for was a presentation by BorgWarner on fuel economy improvement during engine warm-up. They talked about the use of a dual mode pump (electric and mechanical) which can reduce the parasitic loads and frictional losses of the engine. They presented a clever implementation of shutting off the coolant pump during the first few minutes of start-up, combined with running it on an electric mode when lighter work load was needed. They presented a case where the frictional losses were reduced by 2.9%. They showed a cold FTP 75 cycle fuel economy improvement of 1.13% and a cold NEDC fuel economy improvement of 1.9%. This is a space I would watch closely to see how much of this is materialized in the coming year(s).
Engine frictional losses during warm-up
Reducing the size of cooling circuits
The third paper of interest was a paper from Valeo (Dr. Azzouz) on the use of phase change materials (PCM) to reduce the size of low temperature cooling circuits. The premise here was that today’s cooling systems are generally designed for “excessive heat loads”, and hence are oversized for most driving modes. The idea is to use an accumulator filled with PCM (with exceptional high heat capacity, order of magnitude higher!) in series with the radiator that can store excessive heat generated during extreme operating condition and dissipate it during periods of low heat. The bottom-line impact was a radiator downsized by 20-30%, a volume savings of about 21% and weight savings of about 14%.
It is generally understood that all of the low hanging fruit to make big improvements in the fuel economy is already taken. The future strategy and roadmap lies in implementing many strategies with smaller benefits to fuel economy, and combining many (or all) of these strategies to achieve a better fuel economy performance. Many of these strategies don’t necessarily easily work together and the onus is on the vehicle integrators to analyze the interactions and trade-off among each of these strategies and devise an active control system to take advantage of many of the fuel economy improving strategies together.

Did my yearly reread of this story, and wanted to thank you. This fic continues to be my favorite Everlark fic, bar none, and I remain in awe of how beautifully written and excellently characterized it is, and how it just GRIPS my heart and grabs my focus any time I read it. All of the characters and the struggles they face are pitch perfect, and of every Everlark story, I think this one remains the one where I best loved seeing them fall in love. Thank you so much for writing it. *a thousand hearts*

Superb. Truly, from start to finish. Pacing, character archs, relationship development, canon parallels, just everything. You are an absolutely amazing author, and I'm glad have found all of your excellently crafted stories. Thank you for sharing!
| PM Addict chapter 1 . 1/27/2021
For some reason this site is not letting me login (yet I have access to my stuff. Go figure.) I am PM Addict on here. Every now and then I get in the mood for a specific Everlark fix and go back to my favorites. Gees, I can't begin to tell you how much I love this fic. It's just so well written. As I read, it's like there is a movie playing in my head, every detail and every gesture...I love it. I must also admit that, this is the only fic, the only occasion that Prim's death guts me the way this one does. It's like I'm right there with Katniss, trying to do anything to keep her sister alive. The tears were just rolling, it hurts, man! Thank you for this wonderful story. For this Peeta and this Katniss who just make me smile and binge on their adventure, even though I've read it so many times. Once I start KYFTM, I don't stop until I finish. Thank you.

This is without a doubt the best Hunger Games story that I’ve ever read. I adore your work, but this piece really stands out.
| Guest chapter 12 . 8/25/2020
You probably don’t check this anymore, but I just want to say that this is such a beautiful story. I remember 8 years ago reading this fic as you wrote it, waiting on each update... I was a 13 year old in high school, obsessed with THG...I’m not American, so I knew little to nothing about the Civil War, but I was so enthralled and captivated by this world you created. I recently got back into THG and Everlark about two years ago, and I’ve been reading and revisiting my favourite fics ever since. I re-read this fic last year, and I just re-read it again in one sitting. I don’t know what it is about this time...but it felt just as magical as the first. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, I wanted to throw my phone when things got intense, despite knowing the resolution. This is such beautiful and truly stands the test of time. Reading it felt like the first time. I will always be grateful for authors like you who have shaped my fanfiction experience since I was a young teen. Thank you for sharing your talent. I’m never really one to write reviews because I feel like I can never express myself well, but I’m feeling really emotional (it’s 5am and I haven’t slept yet, thank you very much). I’m rambling, and maybe it’s because I’m comforted by the fact that no one will read this so I can be free in my thoughts haha.
| Loti-miko chapter 12 . 3/19/2020
Holy shit. This is perfect.
I heave a headache because I just couldn’t put my phone down, I had to finish the story! I was hooked.
You have a way with words. You are one of the few people who understand what makes a good story. I swear I thought I was reading a book. I loved it.
I was so afraid for these characters. For so many moments I thought you would kill Rue or Finnick and I was so nervous. And it didn’t happen! But then poor, sweet Prim died and it was heartbreaking. And Rory too. Ugh. It was too sad.
The characters were spot on. I loved the friendship between Clove and Katniss. And of course, I adored the way she fell in love with Peeta. He’s always so sweet and charming.
I learned a lot of history too! I’m not American, so I was a bit confused at first but after some reading on Wikipedia I was able to follow the story!
This was wonderfully written! Thank you for sharing!

The ARC-170 is possibly my favorite ship to come out of the Clone Wars. Even though it didn’t get a lot of screen time in Revenge of the Sith it left enough of a good impression to warrant a redesign this year (OK, maybe the CW cartoon helped a bit).
First let me say that I never picked up the first version of the ARC-170, despite the fact that I like the ship. They just didn’t get it right in my eye. This starfighter’s appeal, to me, is how it pulls off the retro Rebel fighter look while being a clean modern design. It’s a sleek beast of a fighter and the older set didn’t really convey that well. Thankfully, this one did.
See what I mean? Nice sleek look, just as it ought to have. The bracketed stripe along the fuselage looks great and the SNOTed slopes round off the nose cleanly, unlike the older model that used sideways plates and failed miserably. The body panels around the cockpits are integrated well and the stickers look good (but they’re still stickers). The main canopy has some noticeable gaps, key of which being directly behind it. The one right above it needs that room to avoid trapping the pilot if his backseat driver hops out first so it can’t be helped.
The wings are impressively wide, and thanks to new parts since the old model they’re appropriately radiused. The under-slung guns look good & foreboding though not as accurate as I’d like. I can deal with it since the look is hard to nail at System scale (on that note, I would love to see a UCS ARC-170… You listening LEGO?). The rear gunner station could use some work, but again, it’s improved over the old set. The over/under connection is a fun feature but it can sort of get in the way… I’ll get back to that in a minute.
Overall the construction is pretty straight forward, no real surprises or weird landing gear like the V-19 had. That being said, it doesn’t actually have landing gear. That’s not a complaint. Just a point of interest. The underside and nose are in line and the blasters hold the wings level so there’s really no need. Just don’t try to park it with the S-Foils open (but we all knew that right? Only rookies attempt landing in attack configuration).
Speaking of the S-Foils, they work pretty much like the X-Wing sets: turn a Technic gear on the back to engage the hidden worm gear inside the ship and T-bars spread the little wings thanks to a slot in the main wing. It’s slow, but it works. The wings themselves suffer from the same droop issues as almost every other plate-wing starfigter, but considering the huge cannons on the tips and the big hole near the middle I expected much worse. Also, that gear is set up to slide back and forth, because hiding on the underside is everyone’s favorite play feature: flick fire missiles. The idea is you push the gear rod forward to launch them… but I think the feature planning only got to that stage, because they are literally right behind the nose. Either that or the set designer knew that those completely suck and being aimed directly at a fixed portion of the ship is an irrelevant detail but was required by contract to include them.
OK, so about the rear gun getting in the way: you know that little gear for the S-Foils and missiles? Yeah, guess where it is.
So that’s inconvenient. Also, when I grab this thing and swoosh it around (because we all know that’s the real reason to buy starfighters) they flop around wildly since the pivot is fairly loose. Given this, I think the set would be better off without the lower gun.
Now, who do we have to fly this sweet ship?
Who else than Captain Jag. I had no idea who that was to be honest, but with a name like Captain Jag I think it’s safe to assume he has the situation under control. Manning the rear gun is another generic Clone Pilot who clearly isn’t cool enough to be named, unlike Captain Jag. Up in the droid socket is R4-P44, a typical looking astromech with a dark green dome and highlights. Please, do not get me started on the inappropriateness of giving a domed astromech an R4 designation, I didn’t name the thing. Lastly, Kit Fisto is tagging along, I can only assume this because he’s green too and Jedi like to color coordinate with droids. I’m not complaining though, I’ve liked that tentacle headed alien since his crazy toothy grin in Attack of the Clones. So together I’d say that’s a pretty nice set of minifigures and those new helmets are slick. My only gripe is the lack of guns for the pilots. Captain Jag must just bee too cool to use a blaster and insists the same for his crew.
Retail price is $59.99 and for that you only get 396 parts. That’s pretty steep at 15.15 cents per brick. I know that sets across the board have gone up but I still judge sets against the golder rule (10 cents per brick) so despite the cool figures and cool ship I’m simply not satisfied with the price point. Maybe if the canopies were printed I wouldn’t complain so much (honestly, stickers on transparent elements and stickers on round elements are both terrible ideas – but at the same time? Really?). Oh, and just for reference, the old ARC-170 model from 2005 with the same piece count was $39.99. So there’s that. All things considered, this is a great set. There’s always room to improve on official designs and I’m sure I will always complain about the price of sets.
Price/Parts ratio: 5/10
Parts Selection: 8/10
Swoosh Factor: 8/10
Reviewer’s Tilt: 9/10

The Latest: Juventus and Real Madrid 1-1 at halftime
CARDIFF, Wales (AP) The latest from the Champions League final (all times local):
Cristiano Ronaldo put Real Madrid ahead in the Champions League final, but Juventus quickly hit back with a superb overhead shot by Mario Mandzukic to leave the teams level 1-1 at halftime.
After being set up with a touch pass by Gonzalo Higuain inside the area, Mandzukic used his chest to control the ball and sent a 27th-minute volley over goalkeeper Keylor Navas with his back to the goal.
Seven minutes earlier, Ronaldo scored with a low shot from just inside the box after a pass by defender Dani Carvajal from the right flank following a breakaway that started with Karim Benzema near midfield.
Juventus had started well, creating most of the chances, but Madrid steadily evened the action at the Millennium Stadium.
The teams had fewer chances going into halftime.
Mario Mandzukic scored with an amazing overhead shot from inside the area to put Juventus level with Real Madrid 1-1 in the Champions League final.
Gonzalo Higuain set up Mandzukic with a touch pass, and the Croatian forward controlled the ball with his chest and sent a volley over goalkeeper Keylor Navas with his back to the goal.
Earlier, Cristiano Ronaldo fed Dani Carvajal on the right flank and the defender sent a low cross back for Ronaldo inside the area. The Portugal forward scored with a low shot into the far corner, with Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon diving but not being able to reach the ball.
GOAL: Mario Mandzukic scores for Juventus in the 27th minute.
Juventus and Real Madrid are even at 1-1 in the Champions League final.
GOAL: Cristiano Ronaldo scores for Real Madrid in the 20th minute.
Madrid leads Juventus 1-0 in Champions League final.
After 10 minutes, it's still scoreless in the Champions League final and Juventus is still the better team.
Real Madrid has improved, making it harder for Juventus to get out its own area, but the chances in the match so far belong to the Italian team.
Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuain put two balls on target in the opening minutes of the Champions League final.
Higuain first sent a header toward the net that Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas easily controlled. A few seconds later, a shot from Higuain was fumbled briefly by Navas but he soon got a hold of it.
Two more attempts from Juventus soon followed, putting the Italian team in control at the start.
The Champions League final between Juventus and Real Madrid has started, a bit later than scheduled for the second year in a row.
Again because the opening ceremony ran long, the match started a short time after its 7:45 p.m. local time slot.
The Black Eyed Peas performed on a makeshift stage in the middle of the field before the Champions League final as part of the opening ceremony.
With pyrotechnics and dancers around the stage, the hip-hop group played for several minutes.
The dancers soon emerged on the field with huge flags for both teams, Juventus and Real Madrid.
The Champions League final is set to be viewed in more than 200 territories.
UEFA estimates a global television audience of more than 160 million.
With 15 minutes to go before kickoff in the Champions League final, the players have cleared the field and the opening ceremony is about to begin.
The players for Juventus and Real Madrid went back into the locker rooms as a giant tarp was pulled over the field by dozens of soldiers in uniform.
Real Madrid is practicing volleys akin to the one Zinedine Zidane scored for the team in the 2002 Champions League final.
Zidane scored one of the greatest goals in the competition's history when he volleyed in a shot against Bayer Leverkusen, giving Madrid its ninth European Cup.
The players lined up inside the area as a coach sent in volleys to kick on goal.
As the ''away'' team, Real Madrid will be wearing purple uniforms for the Champions League final.
Juventus, which is technically the ''home'' team, will be in its usual black-and-white striped shirts with white shorts.
Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of the players on Real Madrid and Juventus are on the field warming up for the Champions League final.
The players walked through the tunnel and onto the field to a huge roar from the thousands of Real Madrid and Juventus supporters already in the stadium with about 40 minutes to go before kickoff.
Juventus came out first, followed by Madrid.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas was one of the first players to run out on the field to warm up for the Champions League final against Juventus.
Navas and backup Kiko Casilla did some light runs and stretches as coaches set up some balls in the area.
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane will play with Francisco ''Isco'' Alarcon instead of Gareth Bale in the starting lineup.
Bale, who was born in Cardiff, was left out of the squad despite having fully recovered from injuries that had kept him sidelined for several months, including an ankle ailment that forced him to undergo surgery in November.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema were set to play up front, while Dani Carvajal, who missed some recent games because of a muscle injury, was set to start at right back in place of Danilo.
There were no surprises in the Juventus lineup, with Gonzalo Higuain leading the offense alongside Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic.
Lineups for the Champions League final:
Juventus: Gianluigi Buffon; Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli; Dani Alves, Alex Sandro, Miralem Pjanic, Sami Khedira; Mario Mandzukic, Paulo Dybala, Gonzalo Higuain.
Real Madrid: Keylor Navas; Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Marcelo, Dani Carvajal; Casemiro, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Francisco ''Isco'' Alarcon; Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema.
A handful of players from both Juventus and Real Madrid went straight onto the field after arriving for the Champions League final.
Still in street clothes, the Juventus players were loudly greeted by the Italian crowd.
A few steps away, some Real Madrid players were also lingering on the field.
And now the Juventus bus has arrived.
Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was one of the first to get off, leading the way as his team gets ready to face Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
The bus carrying Cristiano Ronaldo and his Real Madrid teammates has arrived at the Millennium Stadium for the Champions League final.
Madrid will take on Juventus in its quest to win a 12th European Cup. Madrid is also trying to become the first team in the Champions League era to win back-to-back titles.
The match officials are out inspecting the field at the Millennium Stadium for the Champions League final.
Dressed in green jackets and black pants, the group of officials checked the nets to make sure they were ready.
The referee for Saturday's match between Juventus and Real Madrid is Felix Brych of Germany.
Real Madrid fans who could not make the trip to Cardiff for the Champions League final will be able to watch the match on huge screens inside the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Four screens will be placed at midfield for fans willing to pay 10 euros ($11) to be at the stadium for Saturday's match against Juventus.
Several attractions will be organized before the game to keep the fans entertained.
Last year, when Madrid beat crosstown rival Atletico Madrid in the final in Milan, the club said nearly 80,000 fans watched the match at the Bernabeu.
If Madrid wins the title this season, the stadium is expected to host the team's celebrations on Sunday night.
The security at the Millennium Stadium received some praise from a few Juventus supporters.
Nicholas Borghi, a 51-year-old bar owner from Milan, said passing through security for the Champions League final between Juventus and Real Madrid was easy.
''In Italy, it's more difficult because Juventus is very strict. There are a lot of controls,'' said Borghi, who was at the match with his friend. ''When we go abroad, it's easier for us.''
Umberto Smiraglia, who was in Cardiff with his nephew, was impressed that things were so smooth considering the recent attack in Manchester.
''Great organization, to be honest,'' Smiraglia said. ''I expected it to be worse or at least to be tougher because of what happened in Manchester.''
The fans are starting to enter the Millennium Stadium for the Champions League final.
There's still about three hours until the match between Juventus and Real Madrid starts, but the doors have opened and some fans are getting in early to get their spots.
The side that will seat the Madrid fans is loaded with purple and white flags, the team's colors. The other side already has some Juventus banners lying on the seats ready to be deployed.
The scoreboards on either side of the stadium are ready, too, with the message of ''Welcome'' in English, Italian and Spanish flanked by the crests of the two clubs. Along the side of the screen is an image of the Champions League trophy, often referred to as the European Cup.
Members of Real Madrid's first team received 800 tickets to give away to guests for the final.
Madrid received 17,518 tickets for the final, with about 15,000 allocated to club members. The club conducted a lottery to accommodate the more than 44,000 requests it received for the tickets to Saturday's final.
With less than four hours to go before the Champions League final, the roof at the Millennium Stadium is being closed.
Saturday's match between Real Madrid and Juventus will be the first Champions League final played under a closed roof.
The match will be played indoors because of security fears.
The charter plane carrying relatives of Real Madrid players was delayed for more than an hour in Spain because of the high number of flights arriving at Cardiff's airport for the Champions League final against Juventus.
Players' relatives used social media to talk about the delay.
Spanish daily Marca said the flight was still expected to make it to Cardiff in good time for the final.
Cardiff Airport was at capacity because of the high influx of fans arriving from Spain and Italy.
Trains arriving at Cardiff were packed with Italian and Spanish fans who spent the night in nearby cities because of the limited hotel capacity in the Welsh capital.
Many fans were unable to find a place to stay in Cardiff and had to seek alternatives in neighboring cities, such as Bristol.
''It was impossible to find a place to stay in Cardiff, everything was booked well in advance,'' said Real Madrid fan Mario Herrero, who made the trip of about one hour from Bristol into Cardiff. ''We had to look for hotels in other cities, it was the only solution.''
Most trains were filled to capacity but there were no reports of problems for fans arriving at Cardiff's main station.
With a population of just 350,000, Cardiff is one of the smallest cities to host a Champions League final.
Fans still wanting to watch the Champions League final are being charged hefty amounts of money by ticket scalpers.
Tickets were going for up to 1,500 euros ($1,700) outside Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, ahead of the final between Juventus and Real Madrid.
Police were warning fans against the possibility of forged tickets.
The Black Eyed Peas are promising an energetic show when they perform at the Champions League final.
The Grammy Award-winning eclectic hip-hop group will be entertaining the Cardiff stadium crowd just before Juventus and Real Madrid meet in the biggest club game in world soccer.
Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am promised ''lots of energy.''
Will.i.am told The Associated Press that ''there's a lot of eyeballs, a lot of football fans and hopefully we can bring a lot of music fans to watch us too. So, unlike the Super Bowl and the World Cup, this is the second time we've had music at a UEFA opening ceremony, so we're happy to be number two.''
Alicia Keys performed before last season's final in Milan.
Saturday's Champions League final is the first being played under a closed roof due to security fears that intensified in the wake of the Manchester Arena attack last month that killed 22 people.
Will.i.am said: ''I try not to let fear govern where I go. I love this country and I will always.''
It's match day in Cardiff where Juventus and Real Madrid will face off in the Champions League final.
Madrid has featured in three finals in the past four seasons, winning in 2014 and 2016. Now, Madrid is looking to become the first team to retain a Champions League title and win a record-extending 12th European Cup.
Juventus is chasing its third title, having not won European soccer's top prize since 1996. The Italian side lost to Barcelona on its last visit to the final in 2015.
Ten of thousands of fans are descending on the Welsh capital for the match, with limited hotel capacity to accommodate them.
With a population of just 350,000, Cardiff is one of the smallest cities to host a Champions League final.

The perfect wedding look doesn't just happen overnight. In the final months leading up to the big day, it's time to start thinking about how to get photo-ready. From starting a skin care regime to having a trial run of your make-up, there's lots to fit in – and getting the timings right is crucial.
You need to book appointments well in advance, while also consider the last-minute preparations the week or night before. Read on for Hairtrade.com's ultimate wedding beauty timetable and find out when you should do what when...
Six months before:
Get serious about skin care... If you don't already have a skin care routine, start getting into the habit now. No more going to bed with your make-up still on. A simple cleanse, tone and moisturise regime will keep your skin in tip top condition.
Start exercising... Exercising is not just important for getting in shape but also for reducing stress levels. If you're prone to breakouts during hectic times try yoga to increase posture strength and relieve tension.
Three months before:
Book consultation appointments with make-up artists... If you're getting your make-up professionally done, consult with a few different make-up artists to see who you are happy with. Once you've found one that gets the look you want, book early to avoid disappointment.
Start experimenting with fake tan... You don't want to have a streaky fiasco on the big day so leave yourself plenty of time to get your bridal golden glow. Think about the neckline of your dress and any existing tan lines you'll need to even out.
Teeth whitening... Start an at-home teeth whitening routine to give you perfect pearly whites. Don't leave this to the last minute as you need to factor in sensitivity and you might not get the results you're after with a quick session a day or two before the wedding.
One month before:
Have a trial run of make-up for the big day... In your head trying Kim Kardashian-style contouring may be a good idea but practise it in advance, as the style might not suit you. If you're doing your own make-up, now's the time to buy the products you like. Ask for samples from beauty counters to give them a test run before you buy.
Get your eyebrows shaped... Leave plenty of time for getting your eyebrows shaped professionally. This will leave enough time to grow them out in places if needed.
Salon facial or facemask at home... Book in for a facial or start using facemasks at home. Do not do this the day before the wedding in case you have a reaction to the product.
Cut down on tea and coffee... You don't have to full on detox but cutting down on tea and coffee will reduce staining your teeth and flush your body of caffeine.
Two weeks before:
Exfoliate and moisturise... To get those silky soft elbows, hands and feet, start an exfoliating and moisturising treatment once or twice a week.
Drink lots of water... Staying hydrated is the cheapest and easiest beauty trick in the book. Aim to drink one and a half litres of water a day for clear skin.
One week before:
Bikini wax and shave legs... Make sure everything is silky smooth ready for your bikini on the honeymoon.
Splurge on a massage... You'll probably be under a lot of pressure the week leading up to the wedding so treat yourself to a relaxing massage with your maid of honour. It will relax your muscles and increase circulation.
One day before:
Pack an emergency make-up kit... Get all your essential make-up for touch ups packed and give it to a trusty bridesmaid.
Get a mani-pedi done... You'll be too excited to sit patiently and wait for your nails to dry on the big day so make this one of the last things you do the night before. Go gel with your manicure and pedicure to keep the colour lasting right through to your honeymoon.
Have a bath... Unwind in the tub to ease your mind of any pre-wedding jitters. Try adding some essential oils for luxuriously soft skin the next day.
Beauty sleep... They don't call it beauty sleep for nothing so get a good night's rest of eight to ten hours.

TUCSON, Ariz. (KSAZ) - At an immigration checkpoint near Tombstone, Arizona, Willcox Border Patrol Agents stopped a hearse and found more than 67 pounds of marijuana concealed in a casket.
A white hearse was traveling north of Tombstone when the agents conducted an immigration vehicle stop at the intersection of highway 90 and highway 82.
After several inconsistent statements with the driver and the overall unusual circumstance of a hearse being driven at night in the location, the agents had a Border Patrol canine unit check the hearse.
The canines detected an odor that led them to unload the casket and reveal multiple bricks of marijuana.
The marijuana in the casket is worth over $33,000.
Along with the bricks were several bags of manure in attempt to cover up the smell of marijuana.
The driver is a 28-year-old male U.S. citizen who was arrested for narcotics smuggling and is being processed for contraband smuggling per Tucson Sector guidelines. His name was not released.
The hearse and drugs were seized.

Some facts about Luleå
The municipality is to 75 per cent covered by woodland. Two rivers; Lule and Råne älv, are floating through the landscape. The name Luleå originates from an old Lule Sámi word for the eastern part of the river. The highest mountain is Storkrokberget in the northernmost point of the municipality, 307 metres above sea level.
There are 36 inhabitants per square kilometre. The population, about 78,000 inhabitants, is however highly concentrated to the city and its immediate surroundings. About 20,000 inhabitants are living in the countryside.
The city of Luleå was founded in 1621 in present Gammelstad. It was relocated in the middle of the 17th century to a peninsula at the outlet of the river. The municipality of today came into existence when Nederluleå, Råneå and Luleå City were united in 1969.
Luleå kommun (Luleå municipality) is situated just below the Arctic Circle. The land area is 2,100 sq.km – half a per cent of Sweden. As a result of the extensive isostatic uplift after the ice sheet, two square kilometres of land are yearly added. A rising sea level due to climate change is however reducing the isostatic uplift.
As a result of the location in the north, it is winter during half of the year. But sunny summers make the mean annual temperature only slightly lower than the Swedish average. The city of Luleå is also situated far east in Sweden. That is why the sun is at its highest level at 11.30 a.m in the winter (half past twelve in the summer).
Luleå archipelago consists of just over 1,300 islands and islets. The brackish water, between fresh and salt, makes the archipelago unique.

Plaza on Brickell Condo Tour January 2008
Today I had the opportunity to preview a few units at Plaza on Brickell and I have to say that I was quite impressed. The Plaza was built by the Related Group and I would consider it to be one of the better new buildings in South Florida which are "affordable luxury." The building features are full service with valet parking right off of Brickell Avenue, a concierge, high-speed elevators, two very large pools, two club/entertainment rooms, two fitness rooms and a wine celler. The units feature views of Brickell Avenue and Biscayne Bay. These photos were taken from the 20th floor and as you can see the views are not bad at all. I would expect clear bayviews from East facing units from the 25th floor and up. Overall, I would say that Plaza is a great option for anyone interested in purchasing a "Brickell Address" at a relatively low cost. The units come delivered ready to move in with a fairly nice grade carpet and nice kitchens and baths. This will be a great building for long term owner-occupants, investors and also tenants. If you are interested in purchasing a unit in Plaza or would like to tour the property give us a call.

And contrary to previous reports, the ultimate open-top Bugatti brings with it the full 1,200 horsepower and 1,106 pound-feet of torque of the Veyron Super Sport’s quad-turbocharged 8.0-liter W-16 engine.
This results in a top speed of 255 mph, 13 mph short of the world speed record for a production car.
The peak power is delivered at 6,400 rpm while the peak torque plateaus from about 3,000 all the way to 5,000 rpm. These figures allow the car to reach 60 mph from standing in just 2.6 seconds, pass 124 mph in 7.1 seconds, and continue all the way to its 255 mph top speed. That top speed is reached on closed tracks with special safety precautions. In “normal” handling mode, the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse is electronically limited to 233 mph.
The increased output is made possible by four enlarged turbochargers and intercoolers. The chassis has also been modified to support the power increase. The gearing of the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox in particular has been adapted to the new requirements.
Speaking at the unveiling of the new Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, Bugatti CEO Wolfgang Dürheimer said, “The rapid success of the Super Sport convinced us to increase the performance of the Bugatti roadster. Once again our engineers worked hard to demonstrate that Bugatti is able to constantly redefine the boundaries of what is technically feasible.”
Inside, carbon fiber is (along with stainless metals such as aluminum and magnesium) the dominant material in the interior of the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. Numerous interior parts are now made from carbon fiber, though the curb weight is still a substantial 4,387 pounds.
Bicolor black trim parts are new in the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, and so is a special seat design. The two-tone leather seat covers are enhanced by contrasting stitching between the seat base and the side sections. Contrasting stitching is also featured on the leather armrest between the seats, which comes without the typical quilting.
The Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse also features a roofless targa option rather than a full convertible top. This means that just like the Veyron Grand Sport, there’s no storage space within the car for the roof once it’s removed, so it has to be left at home.
In case you’re interested in one, pricing starts at $2.3 million.

In November 2020, the CFTC published two no-action letters extending previously granted no-action relief related to Brexit. The relief was intended to provide “greater certainty to the global marketplace” in connection with Brexit. The no-action letters, as discussed below, primarily address requirements applicable to swap dealers, but nevertheless may assuage concerns by end-users and other market participants over potential Brexit-related disruptions.
The UK left the EU on January 31, 2020 and entered into a transition period set to expire on December 31, 2020. (Notably, to prepare for the expiration of the transition period, the UK government passed the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, which, upon the expiration of the transition period, will “transpose” certain EU law and regulations into UK law and regulations, and grant authority vested in certain EU institutions to the Financial Conduct Authority and certain other UK institutions.) These recent no-action letters seek to ensure that certain longstanding no-action relief, “comparability determinations,” and exemptive orders originally issued for EU entities will be available for UK entities following the expiration of the transition period.
In particular, the first of these no-action letters, Letter 20-39 (November 24, 2020), addresses various “comparability determinations” by which the CFTC has recognized that compliance by swap dealers with certain EU laws and regulations constitutes compliance with corresponding CFTC requirements. Letter 20-39 also addresses a CFTC exemptive order from 2017 exempting certain EU trading facilities from registration with the CFTC as swap execution facilities. Upon the expiration of the Brexit transition period, Letter 20-39 will allow a swap dealer to comply with relevant UK laws and regulations in the same manner and subject to the same conditions contained in the relevant EU comparability determinations, and UK-authorized trading facilities identified in the 2017 CFTC exemptive order will be allowed to remain exempt from CFTC registration as swap execution facilities.
The second no-action letter, Letter 20-40 (November 24, 2020) will, upon the expiration of the transition period, cause certain existing no-action relief originally from 2012 and 2013 to apply to or reference UK laws, regulations, and entities as it does with respect to EU laws, regulations, and entities. The 2012 and 2013 no-action relief in question provides, among other things, (i) relief from required registration as an introducing broker or commodity trading advisor for certain swap dealer affiliates in the EU and their employees, and (ii) that a swap dealer may, subject to certain conditions, comply with the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) risk mitigation rules in lieu of the CFTC’s risk mitigation rules.
The CFTC has at various times indicated its desire to enhance certainty around the Brexit transition. These recent no-action letters note that CFTC staff “has been engaged with staff of the relevant UK authorities to learn about the regulatory and supervisory framework that will apply in the UK upon the expiration of the transition period.” Given the complexity of the Brexit transition, further CFTC relief and other pronouncements may be expected, including the no-action relief regarding margin and clearing requirements also discussed in this newsletter.

So far details regarding the PS3’s upcoming 3D capabilities have been scarce, however we have recently heard that adding 3D to an existing title will in fact cut the game’s resolution and frame rate.
Digital Foundry suggest that part of the process which Sony’s team undertake to add 3D output to a game will in fact be detrimental to the games output quaility (ignoring the added 3D support).
Apparently to add 3D to Wipeout it will cut content from its existing 2D 1080p at 60 frames per second to 3D 720p content at 30fps, from what we can see this will be the case with pretty much all existing titled, hwo do you feel about this news?
To be honest I think that the main interest will surround new titles with 3D support, therefore the content change in existing titles isn’t too much of a disappointment, lets just hope all of the upcoming 3D games run at the full 1080p resolution with 60fps framerate.

12 Restaurants Serving Up Fresh Seafood in San Francisco
Seafood. The word is vague, yet a catchall for everything that comes from the sea/ocean. However, the word conjures up images of succulent steamed shrimp and crab; buttery, red lobster, or savory pearls of oysters. Anyone featuring any of these items on their menu could be considered a seafood restaurant. Theoretically, that includes 95%* of the restaurants in San Francisco.
The point of this article is to answer the question: Who has the best seafood in San Francisco? To get to the bottom of this, we had to put in some rules, rules that will make the picture much clearer. Here are the rules we abided by to make this list:
- Seafood is technically any thing that is born in the sea/ocean.
- A restaurant’s specials, dishes they are known for, must be seafood. Emphasis on the plural.
- Seafood must be the star of the dish. This strikes out Chinese or Thai dishes that are noodle based. Sushi is a no-no, too.
- Any dish that makes seafood interchangeable with another protein was not considered.
Without further delay, here’s our list of the best seafood in San Francisco:
Cioppino’s (400 Jefferson St.)
There’s nothing better than a bowl of Cioppino with a stunning waterfront view of the San Francisco Bay. Don’t miss out on their signature Cioppino – a concoction of seafood favorites that will have you in seafood heaven until the very last bite. What to eat: Cioppino, Clam Chowder.
Fog Harbor Fish House (PIER 39)
Who doesn’t want to eat 100% sustainable seafood served with a side of the Golden Gate Bridge? Fog Harbor’s menus are ever-changing, as their chefs craft the menus based on what seafood is fresh and sustainably caught. What to eat: Baked Oysters, Garlic Roasted Dungeness Crab.
Tadich Grill (240 California St.)
This list has to start at the beginning. That means 1849, the year San Francisco grew from a gold nugget and the year Tadich Grill came into being. Imitated by many, but none better than Tadich Grill, this restaurant has been serving varieties of seafood forever. This needs to be on your bucket list. What to eat: Seafood Cioppino. Website
Hog Island Oyster Company (1 Ferry Building)
The freshest oysters in the Bay Area are at Tomales Bay, where the Hog Island Oyster Farm is located. If you can’t make it all the way up there, Hog Island Oyster Company in the Ferry Building is a great second option. Along with freshly shucked oysters, you get a gorgeous view of the bay. What to eat: Hog Island Sweetwater or Atlantic.
Scoma’s (Pier 47)
Once a little coffee shop on the pier in 1965, Scoma’s has become a force of buttery goodness today. There’s butter sauce and then there’s Scoma’s butter sauce. Nothing compares. What to eat: Shrimp and Scallop Alla Gannon. Website
Swan Oyster Depot (1517 Polk St.)
There are a few truths that ring free in San Francisco. A line out the door of Swan Oyster Depot is one of them. People have come from the farthest reaches of the country to suck down clams and oysters from this institution. Anthony Bourdain has been quoted, If god made anything better he kept it for himself." What to eat: Combo Salad.
Bar Crudo (655 Divisadero St.)
Bar Crudo is the first local’s place on this list. Many people hope it stays that way because the wait for a table is already long enough. If you have time to come here more than once, you should definitely make your way through the entire menu. However, if you come only once, you should always order the chowder. It’s legendary. What to eat: Seafood Chowder.
Woodhouse Fish Co. (1914 Fillmore St.)
Woodhouse Fish Co. is a neighborhood spot serving up quality seafood in a New England style atmosphere (think red-checkered paper mats). The clam chowder and sourdough bread is a match made in heaven and the Crab Melt should be on your list for next time. What to eat: Lobster Roll.
Anchor & Hope (83 Minna St).
If you find yourself wondering the streets of the SOMA neighborhood, Anchor & Hope is a great place to stop for lunch and dinner. Named to 7X7’s 2010 Big Eat list, Anchor & Hope hasn’t let the press get to its head. Come in for the $1 oysters and stay for much more. What to eat: Angels on Horseback.
The Codmother Fish & Chips (2824 Jones St.)
A place both locals and tourists can agree is delicious. This stationary food truck near Ghirardelli Square cooks up amazing fish and chips, shrimp and chips, and baja fish tacos. Since the inception of Yelp, Codmother has been named one of the best in the city. What to eat: Standard Fish and Chips
Anchor Oyster Bar (579 Castro St.)
With great food, comes great competition. In light of Swan Oyster Depot’s long lines, many imitators have come onto the scene, but none of them have been held in the same regard, except Anchor Oyster Bar. Since 1977 they have been serving fresh sustainably caught fish, shellfish, crab and delicious, simply prepared, seafood dishes. What to eat: Clam Chowder.
ATwater Tavern (295 Terry Francois Blvd.)
Steps away from the ballpark, ATwater Tavern is the perfect venue for to suck down oysters on the halfshell. The waterfront location features two levels of indoor and outdoor dining with incredible views of Oracle Park, the San Francisco Bay and the downtown skyline. What to eat: Atwater Cioppino. Website

Sir Ernest Shackleton’s 1914 voyage to the South Pole started out as an ambitious scientific expedition, but turned into one of the greatest survival stories of all time. Now, Maev Kennedy reports for The Guardian that descendants of Shackleton’s chief scientific officer, Sir James Wordie, want to finish what their famous relative started by walking and skiing the last 100 miles to the South Pole.
It’s an epic undertaking, even with 21st-century gear and plenty of training. Kennedy reports that by taking up the abandoned expedition, Wordie’s family want to commemorate the hardships suffered by the crew and draw attention to the legacy of their ancestor. The expedition will depart from southern Chile the last week of November and arrive at the South Pole after 100 grueling miles—a route that Wordie traveled 100 years ago.
In 1916, Wordie and most of the crew of Endurance stayed behind on a craggy, ice-covered island while Shackleton and five crew members set out in uncharted waters in a lifeboat to find help. The expedition, which began in 1914, was already an unmitigated disaster: The Endurance was trapped in ice for months before sinking; the crew was forced to eat their dogs; and the scientific journey was abandoned in favor of sheer survival. Wordie and his men stayed behind at Elephant Island for more than four months while Shackleton fought to save them. Despite the odds, they were eventually rescued.
A Scottish geologist, Wordie eventually became one of the world’s foremost polar experts. While waiting for Shackleton’s party to return, he studied everything from the contents of penguins’ stomachs to the environment around him. After being rescued, he mourned the loss of the specimens he collected on Elephant Island. “The end was rather a hurry,” he wrote. “It was best to cut and run. And so all my beach exotics are left behind; the only rocks I have are in situ. But can one complain? My notes are safe and every man is safe.”
There have already been attempts to recreate Shackleton’s expedition, but this one has special significance for Wordie’s family. They tell Kennedy that their trek represents “unfinished family business,” and that they want to make Wordie’s legacy available to more people by funding the digitization of his expedition journals. Like their ancestor, they’ll even perform scientific research on the trip.

My kids love Salmon and these little cakes are great for little hands, adults will love them too. They are great dipped in sweet chilli sauce or served just as they are.
Mini Salmon and Brown Rice Cakes
Makes approx 15 mini cakes
- 1 salmon fillet (approx 300g)
- 1/2 cup of brown rice
- 1/2 cup of frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons of wholegrain mustard
- 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- salt and black pepper
- juice from a fresh lemon
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Frylight or Pam spray
Preheat oven to 180c or 350f (gas mark 4)
Place salmon fillet on some aluminum foil in an oven proof dish, sprinkle with a little black pepper and squeeze a little bit of juice from a fresh lemon over it. Wrap up in the foil and bake for approx 15 mins.
Remove from dish, and flake into a bowl. Set aside.
Place the brown rice in a saucepan and cover with 2 cups of boiling hot water. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer. When water is almost absorbed, remove from heat, but leave still covered for about 10 mins, as the steam trapped under the lid will continue to cook the rice.
Allow to cool and then add to the salmon.
Add the mustard, mayonnaise, paprika, black pepper and frozen peas and mix thoroughly.
Add the 2 beaten eggs and form into 15 mini cakes. (I recommend doing this a few at a time, frying those ones and then making the others)
Add a little olive oil to a frying pan over a medium high heat and add about 3 to 4 mini cakes at a time and fry on each side until golden, carefully flip with a spatula.
Great served hot or cold.

Cases of babesiosis, transmitted by tick bites, increase over the spring months with the majority of affected people falling ill in June or July. The seasonal rise in this parasitic disease in the United States is likely well underway.
Babesia microti, the species responsible for most cases, is a microscopic protozoan parasite that lives inside red blood cells. While many people are unaware they’ve been infected, others suffer severe and prolonged illness, sometimes ending in death. Babesiosis causes flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, headache, fever, poor appetite, and body aches. Over time, as the parasites destroy red blood cells, anemia sets in. Symptomatic cases of babesiosis typically strike older people with an average age of about 70 years.
Most people catch babesiosis from the bite of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis. In the spring, tiny young ticks emerge and can feed on wild animals, pets, and humans. At this stage they are very small and often go unnoticed when they bite but they transmit Babesia microti and other disease-causing organisms. An incubation period of up to two months means that babesia infections acquired in the spring become apparent in the summer months.
Ticks transmit babesiosis in the United States in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin, but infected people who have no symptoms can transmit it to others through blood donation. Pregnant women can pass the parasite on to the fetus.
Avoiding tick bites is the best way to prevent babesiosis, along with prompt removal of any tick that is found already attached to the skin. Those who live in places where blacklegged ticks transmit babesiosis should be vigilant about checking for ticks, and watchful for symptoms of infection.

Renato Giuliani’s adaptation of the timeless Italian Poem of the 14th century shows that today’s world is not so different from the one 700 years ago
Life is a perpetual cycle, whether it concerns an individual or a society. When Dante Alighieri wrote his masterpiece Divina Commedia – one of the most influential literary works of all time – in the early 1300s, he did so at the height of a politically torn Italian State. Set against contemporary context, you would discover that the troubles that plagued society then, are still profoundly the same. The players and the issues may be different, but the cause has not changed. Evil, greed, and power struggle are still at the heart of all that is wrong with the world. Renato Giuliani, accomplished house comedian at the TNN, did in fact take a fresh look at the poem, and his adaptation, titled Dante, revisits the topic of rebirth after a painful trajectory through Hell and Purgatory to Paradise.
I woke to find myself in a dark wood,
for I had wandered off from the straight path.”
Dante is lost in the wilderness – representative of our current situation. Humanity is self-destructing on the altar of greed and money. We have lost the sense of what truly matters. How can we find a way out of this wheel that is going round and round faster and faster? In his quest to seek truth and authenticity Dante turns inward. Like Hercules, Ulysses and Orpheus before him, he struggles with challenges and endures hardships that cleanse him and finally lead him to the wisdom that lets him “see the light of day”. In Renato Giuliani’s version, the monsters of the darkness take on familiar contemporary forms representative of today’s confusion and disempowerment of the human race…. frenetic exploitation of resources, constant exposure to new environmental poisons, fear, dehumanization at the hand of multinationals corporations…
En route on this spiritual voyage we meet Virgil the Poet who walks by our side as we traverse Hell. He reinitiates our sense for the true values and leads us to Béatrice who accompanies us through Purgatory. Her beauty and spirituality save humanity, and she takes us to the doors of Paradise where philosopher-monk St. Bernard de Clairvaux welcomes us to the realm of peace, wisdom, and serenity.
Fascinated by the Divine Comedy ever since he was a young boy, Renato Giuliani sees a subversive force in this monumental, esoteric work. “If you look closely, this 14th century text holds up the mirror for us today. And it shows us a way… a road map. Relearning what it means to be human, reconnecting with nature, those are the first steps,” he says. Two remarkable Niçois musicians and actresses – Mari Laurila-Lili and Marjolaine Alziary – help Renato Giuliani build the bridge between medieval poetry and today’s frenzied world. In this reflective musical adaptation, the graphic and often cruel original poem takes on a tone of kindness and empathy as it reflects on the human condition through the lens of compassion. A metaphysical tale full of gentle humour and hope.
Now playing at the Théâtre National de Nice until Saturday, 13th May.

TACO BELL® LAUNCHES FIRST EVER GLOBAL CAMPAIGN,
ALL WITH THE HELP OF THE MOON
Fans can enjoy a free Crunchy Taco with any order on May 4th, from the safety of their homes
Around the world, the moon is known for some playful influences – from turning characters into wolves and witches, being the inspiration for some of India’s favorite Bollywood songs, to being the most awaited visual during major festivities. Now, Taco Bell, the world's leading Mexican-inspired restaurant brand, is harnessing lunar powers and the ‘Taco Moon’ to celebrate tacos with the world.
On May 4th, taco-loving fans in India and across the world may notice that the half moon will resemble the shape of an iconic, craveable taco. Taco Bell, in turn, will celebrate this ‘Taco Moon’ phenomenon by giving fans across the world free tacos on this special day.
Talking about the campaign, Gaurav Burman, Director, Burman Hospitality Private Limited, Taco Bell’s Master Franchise Partner in India said, “The moon is an integral part of Indian culture – whether it is via Bollywood songs and dialogues, or through our Indian festivals. We, at Burman Hospitality, are excited to celebrate the phenomenon of Taco Moon across the country and look forward to our customers witnessing the Taco Moon and enjoying their free tacos on May 4th. Taco Moon is our way of referencing Taco Bell to consumers across India in a highly engaging and unique manner. Once you see the resemblance of the half Moon to a Taco Bell taco, you will never be able to unsee it.”
Taco Moon is the launchpad of Taco Bell’s overarching global #ISeeATaco campaign that aims to invite consumers to start noticing the shape of a Taco in everyday life. Taco Moon giveaways will take place in more than 20 markets at participating restaurants for a limited time.
In India, fans can get a free Crunchy Taco on May 4th, with any purchase through delivery (via the Taco Bell app or through food-delivery aggregators Swiggy and Zomato). Taco Bell India is following hygiene and safety processes across all delivery and takeaway orders, as well as for in-store dining in states which allow the same. Measures include temperature checking of delivery executives at restaurants and ensuring pick up of orders from a demarcated area to ensure contactless- pickups. Moreover, all Taco Bell orders continue to be ‘double – packed’, where each item is wrapped in individual packets followed by an outer bag to ensure contactless transit of the order. ‘Safety Cards’ are also enclosed with each order, documenting hygiene and safety measures, along with the name and temperature of the delivery rider.
