Rewriting a Family Clubfoot Story: Christeni’s Treatment
When five-month-old Christeni was born with bilateral clubfoot, his parents knew they had a chance to do things differently. Christeni is the youngest of four children born to farmers in a remote village in Madagascar. In addition, he is the third child in his family to be born with clubfoot. Christeni’s older brother and sister were also born with this common birth defect that impacts an estimated 1 in 800 children worldwide.
His older brother received treatment, but his sister, who is now eighteen, did not. Christeni’s parents see firsthand the difficulties that their daughter must endure and are filled with regret that they did not seek treatment for her. Christeni’s brother, now ten years old, was the first child in the family to receive treatment for his clubfoot, and the family wants the same for Christeni.
Although the journey to the clinic is long and difficult, Christeni and his family are dedicated to treatment. They travel on foot, by cart, and by bush taxi on the nearly daylong journey to the MiracleFeet-sponsored clinic in Majunga. Christeni’s parents wish for a bright future for their boy, where he will be educated and able to achieve his dreams.

Observing a lack of security in something, and analyzing a thing as it is in the world can prove fruitful, as can the act of listening to an expert do so. Eventually this yields evidence to all that as imperfect as technology has become, it is all we have. As long as we are building new technologies (to make old technologies obsolete) at the same time this is happening, everyone gains. If anything else is going on (such as some of the shit I can see happening on an hourly basis but post no public article on MOCONDEMAND (yet…)) then only SOME gain, while others lose.
Joe Biden Stammers past his teleprompter’s lines and gets some of the UHHHHHHHH more concerned parties who are watching to raise their eyebrows a record-setting amount. Biden going “we know who they are” is of no assurance to me. No he does not. He is good at lists of suspects, and clearing some of them using 72 hour processes, while enduring undue scrutiny on other targets (uhhh, lesser ones) over 72+ month timelines instead.

Sicherheit und Freiheit
12. Deutsch-französisches Juristentreffen
Edited by Dominique Hascher, Peter Jung, Timothée Paris and Götz Schulze
[Security and Freedom. The Twelfth German-French Jurists Meeting at Potsdam University.]
2018. X, 151 pages. Published in German.
The subject matter for the talks given by jurists taking part in a colloquium held at Potsdam University in November 2016 was security and freedom. In light of acute threats of terrorism and new technical advances, the question is raised more than ever of how free societies can safeguard their citizens' safety without throwing constitutional principles overboard or violating civil rights and liberties.

On November 17, 2023, New York Governor Kathy Hochul approved a new law, Bill S4516, which amends Section 5-336 of the New York General Obligations Law and adds further restrictions on settlement agreements relating to discrimination claims. Both employers and employees should take care to familiarize themselves with their new rights and obligations under Bill S4516. If you have questions about how this law impacts you, a qualified employment attorney can help provide tailored guidance based on your circumstances.
Immediate Implementation: Applies to Agreements After November 17, 2023
The new law, effective immediately, applies to all agreements signed or entered into after November 17, 2023.
Expands the Scope of Employee Protection
Previously, New York law prohibited employers from including certain provisions in settlement agreements related to discrimination claims. With the passage of this new law, now these restrictions also apply to harassment and retaliation claims, including those made by independent contractors.
The law currently prohibits employers from including provisions in pre-litigation settlement agreements that prevent the disclosure of the facts and circumstances of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation claims unless the employee prefers confidentiality. Further, these confidentiality provisions are only valid in a settlement agreement if the employer presents them clearly to the employee in a separate agreement and gives the employee 21 days to consider signing. Under current law there is a requirement that the employee must wait a full 21 days before signing this separate agreement, but now the employee may waive the 21-day waiting period at any point within that timeframe.
It is important to note that the newly approved amendment does not apply to Section 5003-b of the Civil Practice Law and Rules, which requires that employees wait the full 21 days to confirm their preference for confidentiality in any settlement agreement resolving a claim that has been filed in court. In other words, the new law allows employees to waive the 21-day waiting period when signing a pre-litigation settlement agreement, but if the employee is seeking to settle a claim already filed in court, they must wait the 21 days before signing a settlement agreement with a confidentiality provision.
The employee may express their preference for confidentiality, as noted above, by signing a separate agreement, with a mandatory seven-day revocation period. This revocation period allows the employee to sign a confidentiality agreement or nondisclosure agreement in connection with their settlement agreement, and then revoke their consent to confidentiality within seven days from signing. If the employee revokes consent within the seven-day period, the employer must remove that clause from the settlement agreement.
Voiding Releases: Conditions for Invalidation
The law also voids releases of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation claims if the employee has to pay liquidated damages, forfeit consideration, or make an affirmative statement denying unlawful discrimination. In simpler terms, if these conditions are in the settlement agreement, the release becomes invalid.
Impact on Settlement Dynamics
This new law introduces more requirements for employers seeking confidentiality in settling discrimination, harassment, and retaliation cases. It may impact settlement dynamics, as the enforcement of non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses could be challenging without certain provisions. The law suggests that employers specify in these clauses how a breach would harm their business to strengthen claims for damages.
However, with the law voiding releases containing certain provisions, employers might be hesitant to pay for confidentiality or non-disparagement without clear enforcement mechanisms. This could lead employers to reconsider requesting these clauses, especially when such requests often result in reciprocal demands from employees.
This new law impacts both employees and employers in New York. Employees should consider what their New York discrimination claim is worth before signing a settlement agreement with their employer. Employers should review their standard settlement agreements, as certain provisions are prohibited under this new law. Because this new law applies as of November 17, 2023, it is a good time for employers to reevaluate their policies and handbook to ensure compliance. For more information about how Bill S4516 affects you, reach out to a member of our team.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

But if you’re just hearing about ‘podcast’ for the first time and you’re looking at me in confusion asking: ‘what is a podcast?’
Look no further:
- a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or portable media player, typically available as a series, new installments of which can be received by subscribers automatically.
In the simplest form a podcast is a ‘radio show’ you can download or stream to your computer or phone.
You can start a podcast without breaking the bank.
Here are the tools we used to create Seachanges?
– A microphone.
Or in our case: a headset with a microphone. There are a lot of professional grade microphones you can use but if you just want to start, even the audio recorder in your phone can work.
We used Quicktime to record our conversation. I’m not sure what the equivalent is for Windows but on a Mac, Quicktime is already bundled in.
We recorded the first few episodes together but since Maria lives in Indonesia (now in London!), Skype is really essential for us!
This is the free audio editing program Maria uses to edit the program. Did I mention Maria is the best?
There are several places where you can use free music for you podcast, even Garage Band (if you’re on a mac) has some music you can use.
This is where our podcast is hosted. We haven’t gotten around to having it hosted in iTunes but Soundcloud is good because its free and aesthetically speaking? Pretty.
Since we’re only just starting out Seachanges’ site is hosted on tumblr with an awesome theme Maria designed.
I think for a first effort Seachanges is okay, there is room for improvement but we’re all works in progress so I think that’s a good thing.
I really love the freedom of creating something without waiting for someone else’s permission. All we needed to do was show up and because I enjoyed making the podcast so much I will be starting a new podcast about creativity and entrepreneurship.
Interested? Sign up to get notified!
I’ve also compiled a list of ‘how to start your own podcast’ resources below.
Will you be starting a podcast too? If you are, can you tell me what it will be about?
If you’re not but you want to, what’s stopping you?

As anticipated, the highly contagious Omicron BA.2 variant is now present in Monroe County and we are experiencing a rising number of COVID-19 cases. Today, we are reporting 108 new lab-confirmed cases and 111 new positive home test results. This is the second day in a row that new cases have surpassed 200, and we expect this upward trend to continue.
This is not cause for panic. Most individuals who have been vaccinated and boosted, or who have previously been infected with COVID, will probably not experience severe illness from this variant. However, some people remain at higher risk. An increase in hospitalizations tends to lag behind increases in case numbers, so we are issuing the following reminders for all Monroe County residents:
- Anyone who is eligible, but not yet vaccinated or boosted, should get immunized now.
- Individuals who are at higher risk for severe illness should consider wearing an N95 or KN95 mask when in public spaces and maintain social distancing as much as possible.
- Stay home if you are sick and get tested for COVID-19.
Monroe County will continue to monitor the situation, and we will provide further guidance if warranted.

Mikel Bezuidenhout returns to Rotax karting this weekend as Round 4 of the Gauteng-based regional karting championship commences at Zwartkops Kart Raceway.
Following a challenging start to his 2024 Northern Regions Rotax Kart Championship campaign, which saw the Johannesburg driver finish 10th overall, Mikel bounced back in fine form to finish as the overall runner-up at Round 2. The MTN Cosmo-net-supported teenager also recorded his maiden victory. Round 3 was again hosted at the Vereeniging Raceway, where Mikel finished fourth overall. Mikel heads into this weekend ranked third in the championship, eight points off the leader.
“Having just returned from Port Elizabeth for the ROK National, it will be a nice change to get back into the Senior MAX around Zwartkops. It’s a greater challenge with a larger field but also closer racing. So the margin for error is tiny as a mistake can cost you several places,” said Mikel.
While drivers will take to the circuit on Friday for practice, the action starts on Saturday with a Warm-Up Session (08:30) followed by a Qualifying Session (10:10). Three heats conclude the day’s racing with the first heat commencing at 11:34. Spectators are welcome, and entry is free.
Mikel is backed by MTN Cosmo-Net and Vivo Mobile South Africa.

Marc Mayer and Stacey Chuvaieva Featured in Law360
Marc Mayer and Stacey Chuvaieva were featured in Law360 for authoring the article, "How to Prep For Calif. Social Media Content Moderation Law," published on November 21, 2022. The article discusses a new content moderation law targeting social media companies, A.B. 587, and provides information on how social media companies can begin preparing to comply with the new law, which goes into effect January 1, 2024.
From the article...
"In order to comply with the new law, affected social media companies should review and clearly articulate their content moderation practices and establish tracking mechanisms to collect data required for the reports.
Even though many big tech companies already conduct content moderation in some form, A.B. 587 requires that all companies that meet the threshold requirements develop and be ready to make available consistent content moderation practices regarding content categories.
Additionally, affected social media companies should start building internal processes for tracking and documenting any actions taken concerning such content."

Retirement signifies a well-deserved achievement, a significant turning point in life. It should be a period of anticipation and joy, an opportunity to indulge in activities that bring happiness and contentment. Currently, retirement is marked by increased flexibility in accessing your pension savings. While this offers many choices, it also gives rise to numerous queries.
Significant reforms and rates cut for millions of workers
National Insurance is a cornerstone of the welfare and benefits system. As a citizen, your contributions will likely play a significant role in funding state provisions such as pensions, maternity leave, and bereavement support. If you’re over 16, under the state pension age, and either employed or self-employed, chances are you’re making National Insurance Contributions (NICs).
A Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is more than just a pension. It’s a gateway to financial freedom, offering you an unparalleled level of control. With a SIPP, you are at the helm of your investment decisions, determining how your money is invested and your pension pot grows. Whether you make regular contributions or occasional lump-sum deposits, even a modest start can significantly impact your retirement nest egg.
What actions to review before the 2023/24 year-end?
Have you recently evaluated your personal tax situation? Is your tax structure optimised for efficiency? As we approach the end of the tax year on April 5, 2024, it presents an ideal opportunity to assess and leverage the various allowances and reliefs available to enhance your tax profile. Allocating time for this review can provide valuable insight into potential opportunities for you and your family.
Striving to use impact to boost investment returns
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, a socially responsible investing approach, seeks to harmonise financial returns with a company’s environmental impact, stakeholder relationships, and global footprint. Our planet faces numerous challenges, from climate change to a rapidly growing and ageing population.
Time is running out to use your 2023/24 ISA allowance
Investing in an Individual Savings Account (ISA) is a tax-efficient, flexible method for future planning. One of the most attractive features of an ISA is its tax benefits – it’s immune to both Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax on any growth within the fund or on income you withdraw. This makes contributing to an ISA an intelligent decision for those looking to grow their wealth while minimising tax liabilities.
A delicate process that requires clear communication and effective planning
Transferring wealth within a family is a delicate process that requires clear communication and effective planning. Otherwise, it could lead to a potentially large tax bill and bad feelings in the family.
How to devise a robust plan for wealth accumulation and protection
Understanding your financial situation is crucial to achieving both short-term and
long-term objectives. With a detailed insight into your finances, you can maximise your assets and devise a robust plan for wealth accumulation and protection.
For many individuals, their pension investments are allocated to funds. These could be funds selected by their pension provider or ones they’ve chosen independently. Traditionally, retirement planning has centred around investing in shares-based funds during one’s younger years. As retirement approaches, the strategy typically shifts to de-risking the portfolio, diversifying into bonds, cash, and shares.

The project Museo Facile
“Museo Facile” is a pilot project regarding communication and cultural accessibility, promoted in 2012 by the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio (idea and scientific manager: Ivana Bruno, associate professor of Museology, art criticism and restoration), in collaboration with the Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali (MIBAC), Center for Educational Services of the Museum and the Territory (SED).
The project aims to promote and implement cultural access to museums thanks to an integrated communication system which is dynamic and understandable to a diversified audiences, with particular attention to people with disabilities.
This system—combining traditional tools and new technologies (virtual, 3D reconstructions, QR-Code, etc.)—sees to the design and implementation of communication and multimedia contents based on principles of clarity, readability, graphic consistency and accessibility, and in keeping with national standards, as well as the European Union’s goals in the cultural sector.
The project’s methodology assumes interdisciplinary comparison and participatory planning. Through this modus operandi, the deliverables that make up Museo Facile’s tools have been created, redesigned and rethought starting from elementary interpretive materials for visitors (labels, information panels, gallery cards, signs, etc.) which keep in line with tradition while presenting important innovations in components like text, support, graphics. These materials gain in functionality and communicative effectiveness. Particular attention was paid to the text and to language simplification, as well as the study of their graphic design and structure which were informed by principles of Universal Design.
Specific materials were integrated into the apparatus—in particular tactile panels and other typhlodidactic materials, videos in Italian Sign Language (LIS)—also favor an accessible and direct approach to museum collections for visitors with visual and auditory disabilities in order to facilitate integration and active participation of different audiences.
The institutions that collaborate in the project are the MIBAC Museum of Lazio, the University of Diversely Skilled Research and Innovation of the University of Cassino, the Federazione Nazionale delle Istituzioni Pro Ciechi and the Istituto Statale per Sordi di Roma. University students are also actively involved through practical training experiences are proposed and work forced integration projects with higher education institutions. The Museum Hendrik Christian Andersen of Rome (MIBAC, Polo Museale del Lazio) hosted initial experiments with new communication devices placed there in 2014.
In 2016 a similar communication system was created for the medieval art section of the Museum of the Abbey of Montecassino (MIBAC, Polo Museale of Lazio), following participation in a national competition organized by the Ministero dell’istruzione, dell’università e della ricerca.
Recently the project has been revived for Luoghi del Contemporaneo a Cassino in Cassino, a museum spread across the Cassinate area, realized within the initiative “Itinerario dei luoghi del Contemporaneo a Cassino. Da Sol Lewitt a Mimmo Paladino”, funded by the Regione Lazio (October 2017).
“Museo Facile” is currently being applied to the Collezione Civica Giuseppe Albano, exhibited in the Museo Romanazzi Carducci, Putignano (Bari) (October 2018).

My latest obsession has been Salsa Verde, aka green salsa! I love to put a tablespoon or two on my low carb wraps, taco salads, and just about anything else I can find. This recipe is my version of that tart and wonderful condiment.
Recently I shared my Salsa Verde Chicken recipe on the blog and it was even shared over on the Trim Healthy Mama Fan Page. If you are new to the blog or if you missed that post you can find it here! This is the Salsa Verde that I use in that recipe. No need for store-bought any longer!
It is so good you guys, and it is the latest recipe in my Simple Suppers Series, where I focus on tasty family-friendly meals that are easy and quick to make!
A lot of those recipes require no special ingredients and can be ready in an hour or less. Let me know if you have tried any of my recipes in that series.
The recipes I share in that section are some of my main go-to recipes for a full-time working and homeschooling mom. I am a huge fan of easy go-to meals that are tasty!
How To Make a No Sugar Added Salsa Verde.
This Salsa Verde recipe is a simple mix of 6 basic ingredients and some added water to thin it to your preferred thickness. All of the ingredients can be found at most groceries stores.
The most time-consuming part is roasting the ingredients before tossing them all in the blender to finish it off with a little water to thin the mixture out.
To make this recipe you will need:
1 lb of Tomatillos
1/2 small onion
1/2 small jalapeno
1 small can of green chilis
3 Tbsp chopped cilantro
1 Tbsp Lime Juice
*1/4-1/2 cup of water as needed
Hidden Sugars in Store Brands
The star of any Salsa Verde, including my version, is the tomatillo. If you have never had one, the tomatillo looks like a small green tomato but they each have a papery husk that is removed before eating or cooking.
These little beauties are tart and tangy, which works well in this salsa and many other Latin-inspired dishes. They can be found in most produce sections in your local grocery stores.
I have always purchased my Salsa Verde at the store but with those brands, you have to watch the added sugars in them, so I am so glad that it is so easy to make at home without any sugar or sweetener.
If you are a fan of Salsa Verde like I am saving every little carb from added sugar is a must!
But thankfully both are super easy to make at home, so I like to keep both versions (red and green salsa) on hand for recipes and just for snacking with raw veggies too.
A delicious green salsa made from scratch and no added sugar. This easy Salsa Verde is a great compliment to any Mexican Inspired recipe.
- 1 pound of Tomatillos
- 1/2 small onion
- 1/2 small jalapeno
- 1 small can of green chilies
- 3 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Remove the paper-like husk from the tomatillos and rinse them well.
- Chop the tomatillos, onions, jalapeno into smaller chunks and place them on a baking sheet and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Place in the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes before removing the sheet pan and letting it cool completely.
- Once cooled add the tomatillo mix to a blender along with the can of green chilies, cilantro, and lime juice.
- Blend on high to reach your desired consistency.
Store in a mason jar with a lid in the refrigerator for up to a week.
I am a southern girl through and through that loves to laugh, cook, read and spend time with family. My passions outside of home schooling my son are ministering to those in need and creating art in the kitchen! Every day is an adventure in our little house and I wouldn’t trade it or the chance to share here with you for anything!

DRYDEN – Hydro One now reports that power is back on in Dryden. About 4,200 customers have been impacted by the outage.
Hydro One says it could be 17:00CDT at the earliest before power will be restored. They were able to get power restored far faster.
The outage runs in the east from Dyment all the way to Dryden including both sides of the Trans-Canada Highway. If you are planning travel to Dryden either from the east or the west, it is likely a good idea to fuel up in Vermillion Bay, if you are headed east, or Ignace if you are headed west.
The outage had Dryden Radio CKDR off the air.

Researchers are getting closer to a vaccine against Zika virus, which causes severe birth defects in the babies of women who become infected while pregnant.
The experimental Zika vaccine being worked on by researchers at the National Institutes of Health is a newer generation of vaccine, which uses DNA technology to trigger the body’s immune response.
That is a different approach than traditional vaccines take. They use weakened or killed viruses to stimulate an immune response against the targeted disease.
DNA vaccines use copies of genetic material from a pathogen’s outer coat. This DNA is introduced into cells in the lab, which then replicate proteins from the virus but don’t cause the disease. Injected into a patient, the synthetic DNA fragments mimic the disease-causing pathogen.
Barney Graham, Deputy Director of the Vaccine Research Center at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, explains “What we want is to present the outer surface of the virus to the immune system so that it can recognize that with antibodies and make more of those antibodies. So, that if you see the real virus, those antibodies can block it from infecting.”
Finding an effective dose
Because of the urgency of the Zika epidemic, early clinical trials of DNA vaccines are underway. So far, none have been approved for human use in the United States but Graham’s lab is trying to establish an effective dose for full protection.
In a study published in the journal Science involving rhesus macaques, investigators report that 17 of the 18 monkeys that got two doses of the vaccine were completely protected . All six monkeys that got a single, weaker dose became infected with Zika, but still had less of the virus in their system than the control group of animals that received no treatment.
Graham points to a big advantage of the DNA vaccine. “Because it’s become a standard platform technology that we can manufacture ourselves and move it through the system very quickly, even through the regulatory process and get it into trials quickly, this is the rapid response hoping to get into the field trials quickly enough before the epidemic wanes and we can actually get an answer, ‘Does this vaccine work? If it does work, what is the antibody response level needed to protect people?’”
Graham said the DNA approach has become standard in attempting to develop vaccines for other diseases including Ebola, West Nile virus, SARS, influenza and AIDS.

“Sooley,” by John Grisham (Doubleday)
When you’ve written 35 novels and are working on a streak of 43 consecutive No. 1 New York Times bestsellers, you can write about whatever you want. That’s probably the simplest way to explain why John Grisham’s latest is a basketball story and doesn’t feature a single courtroom scene.
It’s not the first sports book for Grisham, of course, but it’s the first set in the big-time world of college hoops. Samuel Sooleymon, nicknamed Sooley, is a 17-year-old playing on dirt courts in his native South Sudan when we first meet him. Growing like a weed and with an infectious passion for the game, soon he’s in Orlando playing on a team of traveling Sudanese all-stars, showcasing his skills for college coaches.
The joy of a Grisham novel is turning the pages as the plot propels you forward, so I’ll avoid revealing too much. Suffice it to say “Sooley” follows the familiar Grisham playbook — short chapters, plenty of foreshadowing, and a rapid-fire prose that’s easy to read and hard to put down.
Grisham seems to enjoy moonlighting as a sportswriter. There are entire paragraphs that read like AP game recaps: “Central ripped off a 14-0 run and led by 15 at the half… Sooley grabbed 11 rebounds, for his first double-double… Sooley, still coming off the bench but playing 29 minutes, scored 31 and blocked four shots.” He relishes putting words in the mouth of Sooley’s fictional coach, who tells his team before their first-ever NCAA tournament game: “Men, we don’t deserve respect. Yet. Respect is out there on the floor, just waiting for us to go get it.” If they can get the casting right, it’ll make an action-packed sports movie.
Harder to recreate in a film adaptation will be the secondary plot of the novel, which focuses on the family Sooley leaves behind in Sudan. When a rebel group burns their village, they join millions of fellow refugees fleeing the country, eventually finding food and shelter in a Ugandan camp. They’re never far from Sooley’s mind as his basketball career takes flight in America and the juxtaposition of his fame and celebrity with his family’s plight back home is the heart of the story.
One quibble that probably won’t bother many other readers: In a work of fiction set in a world of fact — these are all real schools, but with made-up players — Grisham sometimes confuses the two. When Sooley’s college team, North Carolina Central, qualifies for March Madness, Grisham offends all University of Maryland, Baltimore County fans by writing, “Never in the tournament’s storied history had a No. 16 beaten a No. 1.” Maybe it’s just coincidence that UMBC upset Grisham’s favorite team, No. 1-ranked Virginia, in 2018, or maybe the author is having some fun by ignoring that fact in his fictional universe?
Either way, it’s not spoiling too much to say that Sooley’s team makes history in Grisham’s world and their dream season continues. The pages turn even more quickly after that, building to a climax that won’t leave readers doubting whether this is a John Grisham novel.

Earlier this year, Kneron launched an AI processor, the KL520 SoC, which combines proprietary software and hardware technologies and is able to achieve very high AI performance while maintaining low power operation. According to Winbond, the KL520, in use today in battery-powered applications such as smart locks and drones, includes a 512Mb LPDDR2 from the company.
Kneron’s KL720 SoC looks to open up a new set of low-power/high-performance applications for AI and machine learning technology, offering a higher maximum output of 1.4 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second), and performance efficiency of 0.9 TOPS/W.
Winbond’s LPDDR3 DRAM is supplied as a Known Good Die (KGD) and co-packaged with a new Kneron neural processing unit (NPU) in the KL720. Supporting the high throughput and performance efficiency of the KL720, Winbond’s LPDDR3 DRAM offers a maximum bandwidth 8.5GB/s, operates from a dual 1.2V/1.8V supply, and includes power-saving features such as Deep Power-Down mode and a Clock Stop capability.
The KL720 is capable of processing 4K, Full HD or 3D sensor video images in real time to support AI applications such as face recognition in security cameras or gesture control in public kiosks. It can also perform natural language processing, so allows for intuitive speech recognition and eliminates the need for pre-defined keywords. The 1.4 TOPS performance is also fast enough to support concurrent real-time video and natural language processing.
According to Albert Liu, founder and CEO of Kneron, “Winbond’s LPDDR3 offers the best combination of high bandwidth and low power consumption for the demanding new edge AI applications that the KL720 enables. Just as important as the performance of the silicon, however, is the support that Winbond has given us to help us optimise the interface between our NPU and the DRAM.”
Winbond responded commenting that the KL720 had set a new benchmark for performance and efficiency that no other chip manufacturer, even the giants of our industry, were able to match and was "excited to see a new generation of AI-enabled products come to market based on the KL720 with Winbond DRAM inside.".

He intended to create his dream home but discovered he must share the kitchen with two neighbors who have access rights. Despite confirming ownership details with his lawyer and the seller, Najda found strangers entering his kitchen. He has faced additional issues, including theft and unauthorized water connections, leading to significant financial and emotional stress. Najda has spent around €20,000 on repairs and improvements, but he feels overwhelmed by the situation. He now visits the property less frequently due to the ongoing challenges.

Did Niagara Falls Ever Stop Flowing?
Yes, just before midnight on March 29, 1848, Niagara residents accustomed to the flow of the Niagara River were awakened when the Niagara River ceased to flow. The reason - a strong south-west wind pushed the ice in Lake Erie in motion. Millions of tonnes of ice became lodged at the mouth of the Niagara River at Lake Erie blocking the channel completely. The self-made dam held the water for approximately thirty hours until the wind shifted and the pent-up weight of the water broke, forcing the Niagara River to flow again.
To prevent this from happening again and to maintain the flow of the Falls for hydro purposes, each year a nearly 3km ice boom is installed at the mouth of the Niagara River at Fort Erie. Consisting of 22 connected steel pontoons that are anchored to the bottom of the river, the boom greatly reduces the amount of ice that enters the river.
There was only one other time the Falls stopped flowing, from June to November of 1969. The American Falls were stopped by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers in order to study what actions, if any, should be taken to remove the debris at the base of the American Falls. Upon completion of the study, it was decided to let nature take its course and to do nothing about rock removal.
Above you can see on the left, what the American Falls looked like when they were turned off, and then on the right what the American Falls look like today.

The Mycoplasma bovis response continues, with 41 properties currently listed as infected.
Minister for Agriculture Damien O'Connor spoke to The Country's Jamie Mackay about the response, saying that although the pattern of spread is "as we predicted" it is still a learning experience for everyone involved.
"We are learning all the time. We are finding new properties. [There are] discoveries all the time, but we believe we're on track for that eradication. It won't happen over night, but it will happen over time."
O'Connor defends the performance of the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), saying "they're learning every day," with "robust discussions ... on the ground with ICP managers all the way through to Wellington."
"It's a stretch for everyone but we've got to give this the best shot and we're doing as much as we can."

SL releases 74 TN men, 20 to be freed today
Following an order issued by Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa to release all Indian fishermen in custody as a gesture of goodwill to mark India’s 68th Independence Day, 74 fishermen were released in Jaffna on Thursday.
Indian Consulate officials in Jaffna told Express that 20 more will be released at Mannar on Friday.
All the 94 fishermen are likely to be repatriated to India by sea on Saturday or Sunday after the Lankan navy and the Indian Coast Guard make the necessary arrangements, officials said.
At present the fishermen are being looked after by the Jaffna-based Indian Consulate General.
The Lankan authorities are, however, retaining the 63 boats they had seized from the intruding Indian fishermen since June.
Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa on Thursday called for a permanent solution to the problem of the fishermen of India and Sri Lanka. The president made this plea when the Indian High Commissioner, Y K Sinha, called on him to thank for releasing all the 94 fishermen in Lankan custody to mark India’s Independence Day.
Mahinda Rajapaksa told the Indian High Commissioner that he is “concerned “about the impact of the current situation on the lives of the fishermen, and also the environment, and called for a “permanent solution” of the problem for the betterment of the livelihood of the fishermen and the marine environment.
The Indian High Commissioner told the President that the Sri Lankan government’s policies are “very investor-friendly,” and that there is a “lot” of Indo-Lankan economic cooperation.

What makes you get up in the morning? Most likely the alarm clock, and more realistically a long list of things which need to get done. But I bet you always find time in the day to dream.
And so, the real question is: what do you dream about doing?
What things do you keep thinking about, but haven’t yet done? What's holding you back?
Lots, I'm sure. Yet, sometimes there is nothing holding us back but the worries inside ourselves.
It's good to have a little fear, but it should only be used to propel us forward, not hold us back (unless you’re sitting at the edge of a cliff, maybe).
It should be only an information signpost, a guide to help you on your way - not a chain that prevents you from doing the things you want to do.
But what can you do in the face of it all?
Try writing down one thing you want to do, and see what happens from there.
My biggest fear is not doing the things I love, so here I am trying my best to do it.
While sitting here drawing I dropped the pencil you can see (as I wasn't using a pen loop); in most situations it would hit the floor, but here it disappeared down to the body of water, and I really had to stop the grabbing instinct and just let it go.
There are a lot of things of which we should let go.
Yours in dreaming,
Everything Digital Officer
p.s for those who are interested in patinas: I use a chestnut [xl] I've had for over a year which is treated "badly" and has aged nicely into its current dark colour, and a newer, usually "indoors" petrol blue [xl]. I have an extra ribbon in both to hold 3 notebooks. But recently with the addition of the 2021 planner and drawing book, I find it easier not to hold them in with a ribbon - simply close them within the leather cover and let the external closure ribbon hold it in place with the pressure. It usually works well as I take them out and lay them flat. My chestnut [xl] has a pen loop, my petrol blue doesn't...bye bye, pencil.

Falling Asleep at the Wheel–The Shock of a Near-Miss
Dear Nicholas, Mid-day today, driving to the grocery store, I hit the wall of an underpass. The sound of metal against concrete and Bob yelling my name woke me. I yanked the car back into the lane and kept going. I’d fallen asleep at the wheel.
We were not hurt: the car scraped the middle of the wall, didn’t slam into the end. Not hurt, but badly shaken. Now, hours later, I hesitate to write about it.
What I Always Told Myself
I’d always thought that I would know seconds in advance when I was about to fall asleep and then wake myself up. That was foolish because I don’t know in advance when I’m falling asleep at night. Instead, it’s suddenly morning.
Today it was suddenly horrifying.
So how to deal with such a failure of competence?
*Get more sleep
*Stop driving if I feel at all sleepy
*Forgive myself? (I’m getting better at that and not a moment too soon.)
*Let time take me back to my usual feeling of immortality?
What Happened Next?
In the grocery, I found that I was leaking tears as I hunted for the cherry tomatoes. The sudden harsh awareness of how close death sits to us all the time–and my own shocking fallibility–was hard to take.
After our shopping, Bob drove us home. Twice on that ride, I gasped in fright because I thought another car was too close. That hyper-vigilance may linger for a few days.
What To Do?
I’ve resolved to get more sleep. The light must go out by 1 a.m. I’m a night owl, but I need to set a limit. I hope I’ll stick to this resolution. I fear I might not as time passes and I tell myself that it only happened once in all these years and probably won’t again.
I’ll probably forget the nearness of death. Maybe that’s not so bad. Living with that sharp knowledge would make me continuously jumpy and probably less safe.
Surprise– I think I nodded off again for ten seconds just now. More sleep, that’s the answer!. Then at least if I cause a disaster I’ll know I did what I could to prevent it.
My psychologist husband Bob suggested a reframe of the event: that I “saved us from a wreck today.” Actually he saved us, by yelling. If he hadn’t been watching….
The whole incident is humbling. I think it will come to mind when I feel rising exasperation at anyone else’s mistake.
I may be thinking about this for a while.

The Associated Press
SPOKANE — Several school districts in Washington state and Idaho have chosen not to report COVID-19 cases at their schools since opening in August, painting an incomplete picture of how the virus is affecting students.
Among the largest districts in Spokane County and Kootenai County in Idaho, only Coeur d’Alene, Central Valley and Mead are reporting newly confirmed cases in a daily dashboard, The Spokesman-Review reported Friday.
Spokane Public Schools and others are posting weekly updates.
District officials say Spokane had a spike with 10 confirmed COVID-19 cases compared to two last week, and 45 people in quarantine.
The cases affected five buildings, including four cases at Bemiss Elementary and two cases each at Ferris High School and Franklin Elementary.
The Coeur d’Alene School District also saw a surge in cases with 19 positive tests as of Friday and about 300 people in quarantine, including one out of every seven students at Lake City High School.
Superintendent Steven Cook said as of Monday students at Coeur d’Alene, Lake City and Venture high schools must return to their previous schedule of attending classes in-person two days a week and remotely the other three days.
The district is scheduled to meet to discuss plans for other schools in the district. Any approved changes will be implemented Oct. 26.
Central Valley School District reported six cases in the last two weeks, resulting in 48 people being quarantined, officials said. Of those, three positive tests and 15 quarantines occurred at Central Valley High School.
Mead School District reported 11 cases and 116 people quarantined in the last two weeks as of Thursday.
The number of infections is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some — especially older adults and people with existing health problems — it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death.

“I want to the thank the Australian Government for working with the NSW Government to bring these projects to life and easing the burden that our roads in Western Sydney are being put under.
“Funding vital transport links like Mulgoa and Mamre Roads means our city will be better equipped to deal with the opening of Western Sydney International Airport. It will ease congestion as our city grows through future housing and will give a better quality of life for people living close to their work.
“Not only are projects being funded in this announcement, but we are also seeing funding for coordinated planning which is welcomed. The Western Sydney Roads Future Planning and Western Sydney Freight
Line are integral projects that will play their role in the transport of good and services, and allowing the residents of Western Sydney to move around uninhibited.
“I’m looking forward to working with the Australian Government on how Penrith City Council can aid the rollout of the projects and ensuring their success.”

The influence of a high-protein (HP) diet on energy balance was evaluated in obese cats allowed ad libitum access to food. Energy intake, body weight, body composition, energy expenditure and concentrations of hormones and metabolites associated with carbohydrate and lipid metabolism (glucose, insulin, free fatty acids, triglycerides and leptin) were measured in cats after consuming either a moderate protein (MP) or HP diet for four months.
Resting and total energy expenditure adjusted for either body weight or lean body mass was increased in cats consuming the HP in relation to MP diets. However, voluntary energy intake also was increased in the HP treatment; thus, there was no difference in body weight between animals consuming the two diets. Dietary protein content did not alter amounts of either lean body mass or fat mass. No significant differences were observed between the two treatment groups for blood glucose, free fatty acid or leptin concentrations, although there was a trend toward an increase of serum insulin concentrations in the cats eating the HP diet.
Short-term ad libitum feeding of an HP diet did not reduce food intake or promote weight loss in obese cats, but energy expenditure was increased. This effect might help promote weight loss when energy intake is restricted.

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS FOR YOU:
If your subject is an animal, you don’t want to get too close. However, if you’re too far away, you will be left with mostly foreground and background in your photo. So, what do you do? The best compromise is to get as close to the subject as possible without scaring it away. Nature photography tip: select a telephoto lens with a focal length between 100mm and 400mm. This range will give you a good starting point. If you’re shooting closeups, consider a quality macro lens. It will pick up every detail of a sunflower or a praying mantis eating its lunch. However, keep in mind that the minimum focusing distance for some of these specialized lenses can put you uncomfortably close to your subject. To avoid this problem, choose a macro lens with a focal length between 90mm and 105mm.

Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act
Advocating for Patients
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons supports this bipartisan legislation, which requires all group and individual health plans to cover medically necessary reconstructive procedures to treat congenital anomalies.
Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act
ASPS is leading the fight to pass the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act, federal legislation that would require all group and individual health plans to cover medically necessary reconstructive procedures to treat a patient's congenital anomaly. In February 2019, Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Joni Ernst (R-IA) reintroduced the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act in the Senate, and shortly after Representatives Collin Peterson (D-MN) and Denver Riggleman (R-VA) reintroduced the bill in the House. The Society first pledged its support for the bill when introduced in 2018 and will continue to advocate for passage of this legislation in the 116th Congress.
The Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act is bipartisan legislation in Congress that would:
- Ensure that all private group and individual health care plans cover medically necessary services including reconstructive surgeries as a result of congenital anomalies;
- Require that insurance coverage includes services and procedures that repair function or restore any missing body part that is medically necessary to achieve a normal appearance or function of the body;
- Protect patients against increased insurance premiums by clearly stipulating that coverage may be subject to limits, such as pre-authorization or pre-certification, as long as those limits are no more restrictive than for any other injury or sickness
- Exclude health care coverage for cosmetic surgery to reshape normal structures of the body to improve physical appearance
Why is legislation needed?
Insurance companies regularly cover the preliminary procedures to treat congenital anomalies, but often deny and delay follow-up reconstructive procedures, claiming they are cosmetic in nature. This places a significant burden on patients and their families who are often forced to resort to paying huge out-of-pocket costs, Medicaid for treatment coverage or, in worst case scenarios, terminate treatment.
In the United States, there are 25 states that require at least a minimum level of coverage for individuals with a craniofacial anomaly to address that significant, but very specific issue. However, these laws vary in requirements, and most are limited to craniofacial conditions. Currently, there is no federal requirement for coverage and a patchwork of different state policies on coverage. That is why federal legislation such as the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act is needed to ensure uniform coverage for patients with all congenital anomalies.

For most people, breast surgery is associated with women. Although breast augmentation remains a top procedure in Roswell, GA, and throughout the nation, I want to use this blog post to reduce some of the stigma and mystery around male breast surgery. Namely, male breast reduction surgery, a procedure that my colleagues and I perform with some frequency.
Gynecomastia, the benign enlargement of male breast tissue, is very common. In fact, many studies state that more than half of all men have gynecomastia to some degree. Although the condition may be related to weight or an underlying medical issue, often it develops without any clear cause.
Gynecomastia surgery, or male breast reduction, is an outpatient procedure that may be accomplished with liposuction, resection of excess tissue, or a combination of both procedures. In its more severe forms, excessive skin may also be a concern.
Generally speaking, male breast reduction patients are extremely pleased with their surgical results, just as their female counterparts are after breast augmentation. They no longer feel embarrassed by their bodies or reluctant to take off their shirts at the beach or pool. The key difference is that men are much more private about discussing the procedure.
I occasionally see patients who weren’t even aware that corrective surgery of this nature existed. They had resigned themselves to a lifetime of embarrassment, when in reality the procedure is straightforward and typically minor. In fact, most patients are back to work after only a couple of days. You can see a good example of the results that are possible in our before-and-after gallery.
Whether you want larger breasts, smaller breasts, or no breasts at all, it’s important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon to help you achieve your goals.

The NZ Transport Agency, in co-operation with the Police, will lower the speed limit on the Brynderwyn Hills from 100km/h to 80km/h to improve safety on this section of State Highway One in Northland.
The 80k speed limit will be in force from Thursday, May 27, 1.3 km south of Waipu Gorge Road to the southern end of the Piroa Stream Bridge adjacent to the quarry – a distance of 5.9km
The NZTA’s State Highways Manager for Northland Tommy Parker says the Transport Agency has introduced the lower speed limit to make it safer for everyone using a challenging section of SH1 because of its narrow lanes, tight corners and limited visibility.
“It is a section of highway that demands full driver attention. Many people have been caught out and crossed the centre line or left the road with disastrous results.”
In the past five years there have been 79 crashes on this section of road. Two of these were serious injury crashes and three were fatal crashes resulting in four deaths.
Mr Parker says the NZTA welcomes Police support for the 80km/h limit.
Northland Road Policing Manager Inspector Clifford Paxton says his officers are all too familiar with the results of driver inattention on the Brynderwyns.
“In many of the crashes we’re called to, motorists have not necessarily exceeded the speed limit, but have been driving just too fast for the conditions.”
Both Police and the NZTA believe the lower speed limit should reduce serious crashes on the Brynderwyns.
The speed limit on SH1 in the Dome Valley, between Wellsford and Warkworth, was lowered to 80km/h in December 2007. In the three years prior to lowering the speed limit, there were 36 crashes and seven fatalities in the Dome Valley. After the introduction of the lower limit, there have been 23 crashes and three fatalities.
“Those are the kind of statistics that the NZTA and the Police hope will be produced on the Brynderwyns by this safety initiative,” says Mr Parker.
Due to the winding nature of the highway over the Brynderwyns, lowering the speed limit from 100km/h to 80km/h is not likely to add significant travelling time for drivers.
“What it will do, at the end of the day, is improve safety for everyone crossing the Brynderwyns,” say Inspector Paxton and Mr Parker.
“However, we continue to strongly advise everyone using this section of SH1, even with the 80km/h speed limit, to drive to the conditions to ensure that they reach their destinations safely.”

The federal government of Tajikistan is outlining plans to build six small-scale hydropower plants in the country by the end of 2013.
The planned projects are expected to have a power generation capacity range between 300 kW and 1 MW, alongside a cumulative capacity of 2MW, the Ministry of Energy and Industry reported.
The Ministry has planned to locate the projects within Tajikistan’s mountainous Gorno-Badakhsha region, according to hydroworld.com.
Meanwhile, the government is seeking funds from a mixture of domestic and foreign investments for the development of projects.
Currently, Tajikistan houses more than 300 small hydro projects, including the 9.5MW Varjob plant completed recently in January 2013.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) has denounced the Egyptian military’s ongoing demolitions and forced evictions in the restive North Sinai region, saying the practices constitute “violations of international humanitarian law” and likely amount to “war crimes.”
“Over the past seven years in North Sinai, the Egyptian army has unlawfully evicted tens of thousands of residents, destroying their homes, farms, and livelihoods,” Joe Stork, the deputy Middle East and North Africa director of the New York-based rights organization, said on Wednesday.
“The demolitions and evictions reflect an abusive official mentality that dismisses the well-being of Sinai residents, which is key to the region’s security and stability,” he said.
The remarks came after HRW analysis of satellite imagery revealed that the Egyptian army had destroyed over 12,000 buildings — mostly homes — in the conflict-ridden North Sinai Province between 2013 and 2020. It also found widespread house demolitions, farmland loss, and the construction of security installations and resettlement sites.
The rights group also found that the compensation process had been opaque, slow, and lacking independent review or appeal mechanisms. Thousands of people were never listed for compensation or have yet to receive any.
“The Egyptian government should end abusive evictions and demolitions, accelerate fair, transparent compensation for everyone possible, and provide assurances that evicted residents can return home as soon as and whenever possible,” Stork said.
Egyptian authorities did not respond to questions sent by Human Rights Watch in January regarding the developments in Sinai. Egyptian officials routinely deny the forced nature of evictions there.
Last October, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi claimed that the evictions in Sinai were a matter of national security, and that his government had paid billions in compensation to the residents.
“We didn’t evict anyone... We gave residents money and razed the buildings and farms because it’s national security,” he said.
The Egyptian military’s home demolitions and forced evictions have been a main grievance of residents in North Sinai, who have also experienced other abuses at the hands of both the military and armed groups.
Recent analysis of a time series of dozens of high-resolution commercial satellite images recorded between December 4, 2017 and July 1, 2020 also found that, during that period, the military demolished about 4,000 buildings in and around the North Sinai provincial capital of el-Arish, mainly to build a buffer zone surrounding the formerly civilian airport south of the city, used since 2013 for military purposes.
In addition, between December 2017 and July 2020, the Egyptian army destroyed about 700 shacks and temporary structures within the el-Arish buffer zone, and dozens of shacks outside it.
The military frequently claims that those makeshift communities are infiltrated by armed groups.
The Sinai Peninsula has been under a state of emergency since October 2014, after a deadly terrorist attack left 33 Egyptian soldiers dead.
Over the past few years, terrorists have been engaged in anti-government activities and fatal attacks in Egypt, taking advantage of the turmoil that erupted after the country’s first democratically-elected president, Mohamed Morsi, was ousted in a military coup staged by Sisi in July 2013.
The Velayat Sinai group, which is affiliated with Daesh, has claimed responsibility for most of the assaults.
Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch has documented that as of mid-2018, the Egyptian military has razed to the ground over 12,000 buildings in Rafah, near the border with the southern Gaza Strip, to create a buffer zone with the blockaded Palestinian territory.
Satellite imagery as recent as December 2020 shows that demolitions continued outside the buffer zone south and west of Rafah City.
Amnesty International has also condemned Egypt for razing to the ground hundreds of homes in Rafah, calling on Egyptian authorities to put an end to the “unlawful evictions” of residents to create the buffer zone.

ALEXANDRIA 8836 BR
Alexandria 8836BR is a terrible scenario for humanity, we created an imaginary place where human beings are deprived of deeper affections and relationships”, explains director Rodrigo Hayalla, about what the public can expect from this show. On stage, the actress Fabiane de Czaro lives an exemplary employee of this fictional space called “Alexandria”, it is not by chance that the name refers to the old library that kept a collection of human knowledge. This Alexandria is a bunker that protects the world's archives and works of art for this “new humanity” that is to come.
In times of Pandemic, the group builds bridges between theater and cinema, displaying a fragmented narrative that builds a dystopian universe that mocks the current Brazilian political scenario. To reach this result, the group members carried out several remote rehearsals through videoconferences producing scenes and themes for the creation of the dramaturgy.
“In this turbulent process of debating with electronic equipment and the internet, the first sketches of scenes and characters were born”, comments the director of the Alexandria 8836BR show, which debuts in the midst of the III Mostra Move – Grupos de Teatro, an audacious project by the Grupo Work that, as a result of the pandemic, will be carried out online. The pieces are being broadcast live, on Saturdays, one a week, until November 21, showing the language of group works in Curitiba. The premiere of PUTO is scheduled for November 7 at 8 pm.

Job description: Krueger is a mechanical engineer. He tests and evaluates many parts of the railroad, from alternative fuels to hand tools. He also works on derailment investigation and cause-finding. Education: Auburn University, B.S. and M.S. in mechanical engineering Nominator’s quote: “Mr. Krueger is a truly talented engineering professional and master of many trades that are of practical importance to the continued advancement of railroad science and technology.” — Bruce Siebold, BNSF
How did you end up in railroading? I have always been fascinated with the depth and breadth of the railroad from an economic and historical perspective. A friend from Auburn suggested I contact Rail Sciences in Atlanta. I was offered an engineer position and soon learned how to perform derailment investigations, field tests, simulations and support other projects.
Our clients ranged from Class I railroads, regional and short-line railroads, transit agencies, car builders, and shippers. In 2012, a position opened up at the BNSF research lab — one of my clients at the time — and I was able to jump in and get to work.
What career accomplishment are you most proud of? I take pride in the fact that my work directly helps improve safety for railroaders on the ground, and improves service to our customers on a daily basis. Of late, I am most proud of the work I have accomplished on the BNSF LNG (liquified natural gas) program and for the Association of American Railroads (AAR) LNG TAG (Technical Advisory Group). A recent accomplishment was being issued a patent for a track tool I designed and built last year. I am also proud of some recent work designing fixtures and equipment to improve safety and efficiency for the mechanical team at the Topeka shops.
What inspires you? I am inspired by two things: first is the camaraderie of railroaders. Everybody has your back and wants you to make it home safe at the end of each day. Second is the can-do attitude of old-time engineers who got their hands dirty, worked with slide rules and designed things we still stand in awe of today.
What is a little-known fact about you? I have a background in off-road racing, which comes in handy when designing things that need to survive in the railroad environment. I still volunteer as a technical inspector for the Baja SAE series, a collegiate off-road design-build-race series put on by the Society of Automotive Engineers.
What do you enjoy doing when you're off the clock? I enjoy working in the garage on my truck and motorcycle. I like woodworking, metalworking and motorsports. I also enjoy photography and cooking. My wife and I also volunteer at our church.
What advice would you share with a first-year railroader? Get out and see how the railroad runs in the field. Talk with people who make things happen on the ground. You'll meet some fantastic people and learn things first-hand, which will help you cement what you learn in training classes.
What would you say to encourage someone to consider railroading as a career? Railroads need everyone from engineers to accountants to lawyers. There is a place for you in the railroad industry.

More than 200 people attended the hearing on the proposed ordinance and zoning change held on Dec. 20, 2018, held at Elizabeth Forward Middle School.
Despite listening to more than three hours of public comment in opposition to the proposal, the Elizabeth Township Commissioners voted 4-3 to pass a controversial ordinance and zoning change that would allow construction of a power plant in a rural and residential neighborhood.
The proposed zoning text and map revisions were written by the Chicago-based energy company Invenergy LLC and rezones nearly 147 acres from rural and residential land to light industrial. The new industrial district would be located near the Youghiogheny River, Great Allegheny Passage, and neighborhood of Smithdale. The revision allows gas-fired power plants as a ‘permitted use’ in all industrial zones.
Permitted uses require the least review of any zoning permit approval process and are usually reserved for development that is unlikely to impact the surrounding community. Larger, and potentially more impactful operations, such as a power plant, often require a conditional use or special exception approval after review by entities such as a zoning hearing board, planning commission, or board of commissioners and must provide opportunities for public comment. On the other hand, permitted uses generally only require approval by the zoning officer and the public is never alerted of the proposed development.
Following the Commissioners’ vote, it is now as easy to build a gas-fired power plant in Elizabeth Township as it is to build a facility like a garden center, which is listed as another ‘permitted use’ in Elizabeth Township’s M-1 (light industrial) District.
All together, Invenergy is hoping the rezoning will allow them to build a 550-megawatt gas-fired power plant known as the Allegheny Energy Center in the newly designated industrial zone.
Over 200 people attended the public hearing, despite being held just 5 days before Christmas. More than 40 people testified in opposition to the proposed ordinance and zoning changes, with only 3 testifying in support. In addition, more than 15 residents from neighboring municipalities such as Sutersville and West Newton attempted to speak in opposition. However, all non-residents of Elizabeth Township were denied the chance to speak because of a public participation policy that the Commissioners voted in just 3 days before the hearing. Many of these community members live as close as ½ a mile away from the site of the proposed power plant.
Residents raised many concerns, including: changing the residential character of the township; hindering growth from tourism by creating an industrial zone along the GAP Trail; potential health risks from power plant emissions; impacts on the Youghiogheny River; risks of property subsidence from building on a heavily undermined area; declining property values; and the inability of the township to properly oversee such a large industrial operation. Those in attendance were also concerned that the Commissioners weren’t acting in the best interests of the community.
“You are supposed to represent your constituents – not private industry,” stated one resident, and the room erupted in applause.
In addition, attorney Dwight Ferguson received a standing ovation after his comments on behalf of several residents who would be impacted by the proposed changes. Notably, he pointed out that there have been no meeting minutes recorded where the Commissioners have discussed the proposal at hand, despite having been submitted in June of this year. As a result, said Ferguson, the Commissioners were violating the rights of their constituents by not meeting their fiduciary responsibility to inform themselves about the proposal and its potential impacts.
One legal challenge was immediately filed the following day, objecting to the Commissioner’s decision. The suit was brought on behalf of neighboring landowners and lists an array of statutory, common law, and constitutional violations they believe have been committed by the adoption of the new ordinance. If successful, the suit would invalidate the Commissioner’s decision entirely and no industrial development would be allowed at the site.

To keep everyone working at optimal levels, a workplace needs to be equipped with the proper tools and procedures to handle an emergency. Only then can an employer make their workers feel safe in that environment. It’s for this reason that, in order to maintain functional and safe working conditions, each business must ensure that they hold up to inspections. A regular external inspection process not only ensures that working conditions are meeting legal standards, but also that they continue to do so for years to come. These are the different types of inspections in the workplace that keep all workers protected—no matter the industry.
Formal inspections are planned in advance to highlight specific aspects of the workplace and scrutinize them for inconsistencies with formal standards. This allows employers to see whether all precautions are in place and discover what resources they may need for the future. As such, planned inspections are often performed with a written checklist of guidelines and carried out regularly by a designated team. This way, they can ensure that nothing gets missed.
Also known as on-the-spot inspections, informal inspections are done by a company’s management to assess the general knowledge of their employees. Performing these inspections helps them diagnose any weak spots in their employee training and supplies them with the tools to make training better in the future. These quizzes or forms, filled out by the workforce, usually cover topics such as project procedures, workplace safety standards, and general workflow expectations.
Unlike the other two types of workplace inspections, specialized inspections are conducted by specialists in specific industries to ensure that your equipment is in good condition. For many companies, this will involve having their electrical equipment, boilers, and mechanical systems checked for malfunctions and hazards. Those who also deal with manufacturing may need to call their suppliers in for regular checks as well.
Lastly, regulatory inspections deal with nationwide standards such as safety and business liability. Typically, surprise OSHA inspections fall under this category, as they require spontaneity to be the most effective. If a workplace is allowed to prepare for these inspections, then it defeats the purpose of monitoring an authentic environment. As such, this requires the inspected workplace to be functioning as they normally would in order for them to be accurately assessed.

Work at the basis or Students' Scientific Groups Activity
In the article, the author looks for the reasons for the insignificant contribution of Polish scientists to the theory of logistics or transport economics, seeing them in the strong dispersion of scientific research and the lack of cooperation between Polish academic centers. The author points out the importance of self-organization, involvement in scientific work and undertaking joint initiatives by students and young scientists, because these young staff will soon decide about the future of Polish logistics.

You might have heard that the holidays are the worst time of the year for your dental health. It isn’t a rumor. The season can lead to bad news the next time you visit your dentist. You don’t have to miss out on the festivities to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Here are 5 reasons your dental health can decline and what you can do to keep your mouth healthy during the holidays.
1. Snacking More Often
The holidays mean sweet treats and salty snacks galore. You are surrounded by many delicious snacks that can be impossible to resist. You may snack more during the holidays. Not only will this add inches to your waistline, but it also increases your risk of tooth decay. Your teeth will be exposed to cavity-causing bacteria more often.
It’s better to choose nutritious snacks, like fresh fruits and vegetables. You’ll keep your mouth and body healthy to start the new year looking and feeling your best.
2. More Sugars and Starches
Holiday favorites, like cranberry sauce, stuffing, and eggnog, can be a recipe for disaster. Sugars and starches feed bacteria that can erode your enamel over time. Once your enamel is gone, it won’t grow back.
It’s important to moderate sugars and starches. Drink plenty of water along with your meal to help rinse your mouth. Don’t forget to brush your teeth after you finish.
3. Drinking Alcohol
Red wine and other alcoholic beverages can be included in seasonal get-togethers. Alcohol can affect your smile in many ways, like causing a dry mouth from dehydration. This can allow bacteria levels to get out of control quickly, which can lead to cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. If the beverage is dark, it can also stain your teeth. No amount of brushing improves tooth discoloration.
Water is always the best choice. It keeps your body hydrated and your mouth moist. Every sip also cleanses your mouth to reduce food residue and bacteria.
4. Poor Oral Hygiene Habits
The holidays can be a busy time of the year, especially if you’re traveling. It’s not unusual for dental hygiene to slip. Even though it may only be for a few weeks, inadequate brushing and flossing can cause dental problems.
You can protect against decay and infections by brushing your teeth at least twice daily, if not after every meal. Floss your teeth every day and use a daily mouthwash.
5. Skipping Dental Checkups
Skipping your semi-annual dental checkup can affect your oral health. Routine appointments prevent common issues from occurring, like tooth decay.
As you shop for gifts and plan for meals, make the time to visit your dentist for a cleaning and checkup. They’ll keep your mouth healthy and your smile looking its best.
About Dr. Renee Corbitt
Dr. Corbitt earned her dental degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Dental School and has regularly continued her education in various specialties, including orofacial pain disorders, sleep medicine, and general dentistry.

Tackling grand challenges beyond dyads and networks: developing a stakeholder systems view using the metaphor of ballet
Tackling grand challenges requires coordination and sustained effort among multiple organizations and stakeholders. Yet research on stakeholder theory has been conceptually constrained in capturing this complexity: existing accounts tend to focus either on dyadic level firm-stakeholder ties, or on stakeholder networks within which the focal organization is embedded. We suggest that addressing grand challenges requires a more generative conceptualization of organizations and their constituents as stakeholder systems. Using the metaphor of ballet and insights from Dance Theory, we highlight four defining dimensions of stakeholder systems (two structural and two dyadic); we proceed to offer a dynamic model of how those dimensions may interact and co-evolve. Our metaphor and resulting theory of stakeholder systems are thereby well-equipped to incorporate the complexity of tackling grand challenges, where many contemporary stakeholder arrangements are oriented around issues rather than firms.

Should I Upgrade My CPU or GPU? This question is very common and I hope that this article will clarify all your confusion about upgrading your CPU or GPU.
Over time, games, applications and software get better and come with more enhanced new features and that’s why the upgrading of CPU and GPU is necessary.
I will discuss with you today when to upgrade your CPU or GPU and which component needs to be upgraded first.
Introduction of CPU
A central processing unit (CPU) is the main part of any electronic device such as Mobiles, Laptops and PCs and this component plays an important role and manage your system data
The CPU is also called the brain and heart of the computer and this is the reason that the central processing unit is considered a primary component of a PC and consists of the Arithmetic and Logic Unit.
Types of CPUs
- Single Core
- Dual Core
- Quad Core
- Hexa Core
- Octa Core
- Deca Core
3 Reasons for Upgrading CPU
1. Enhance Performance
PC performance is directly related to CPU performance, and a better processor means better performance.
To increase your computer power and performance, you must upgrade your processor and if your performance is better, then you can do your work quickly. Your productivity will also increase because of low speed, a computer with too much lag, and programs that don’t work properly.
2. Improve Gaming Performance
We think that CPU does not matter in gaming performance but it is not true.
Yes, GPU matters a lot in gaming performance, but CPU also smoothes your gaming experience. If you want to play games at high FPS and 4K resolution then upgrading the CPU is recommended.
3. PC Slowing Down
When your PC slows down and applications don’t work correctly, you need to check your processor speed and find the cause of the slowdown. Most of cases the main reason for slowing down a computer is the processor because the CPU does not enough power to provide your PC and then your system shuts down and overheats.
Introduction of GPU
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is the main component of PCs, laptops and mobile devices because it handles all things related to graphics or visuals.
Graphics Card is another name for GPU and we know that graphics card plays a vital role in gaming performance, video editing and 3D animations.
Machine Learning is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence and this field requires a high level GPU because without a graphics card your system will not work properly.
Types of Graphics Card
The integrated graphics card is attached to the same motherboard as the CPU and both components work together to provide better performance and graphics. These types of graphics cards come in PCs, laptops and smartphones.
A dedicated GPU has its own memory and it is also good to increase graphics performance in PC. It is ideal for gamers, heavy video editors, and other high level visual works.
3 Reasons for Upgrading GPU
1. Boost Graphics Performance
Graphics cards increase your graphics performance on a PC or laptop and you can complete your video editing, architecture and 3D animation projects without any lag or glitch. You need to upgrade your GPU if your system struggles to provide you high visual performance.
2. Increase Gaming Performance
Most people don’t play games on their computers because they lack a high quality graphics card on their PC. You will need to upgrade your graphic card and install the right card to play high quality games.
The GPU is not only beneficial for your gaming but also affects your speed because better graphics cards have high memory and they are not dependent on your system memory (RAM)
3. Better 3D Animation Performance
GPU plays an important role in 3D animations or 3D video editing and this is also a major reason that people upgrade graphics cards because their graphics card is not enough to provide them better performance in 3D work.
Which should you upgrade first, CPU or GPU?
Reasons for Upgrade CPU First
1. Your system is running slow or continuously lagging, and you’d like to fix this issue, maybe there are issues with your processor. This is because the processor is responsible for your PC’s performance, so upgrading the CPU will be a better solution.
2. If you want to improve the overall speed and performance of your PC then you need to upgrade the processor first.
3. The third reason for changing the processor first, is that new applications, software and other programs are not compatible with your CPU.
Reasons for Upgrade GPU First
1. If you are an active gamer or plan to become a gamer then you need to first change your graphics card because upgrading GPU first is a better option for you.
2. Second reason for installing a new graphics card is that you are a high level video editor or 3D animator and your GPU does not work properly and the editing software hanging and glitching.

New Butler Matrix for MT8000A Creates Efficient Solution for 5G UE Throughput Tests
Anritsu Company introduces its Butler Matrix 8x8 MA8118A module that simulates 8x8 MIMO connections for efficient 5G UE throughput tests. Designed for use with the industry-leading Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A, the MA8118A Butler Matrix is a transmission path with 8 input and 8 output ports and supports the 0.6 GHz to 7.125 GHz 5G Frequency Range (FR 1) bands, expanding the MT8000A’s ability to conduct efficient tests on 5G FR1 UEs.
The 8x8 MA8118A augments the existing Anritsu ACC-380 Butler Matrix 8x8 module to provide full coverage of the 5G FR1 band. The MA8118A’s fixed 8x8 MIMO transmission path divides one input signal into 8 output ports, minimizing re-cabling when changing test conditions, creating time efficiencies, as well as improving accuracy and repeatability.
In addition, expanding the frequencies to cover 0.6 GHz to 7.125 GHz supports the 5G NR unlicensed band and licensed 6 GHz band specified by 3GPP Release 16 and 17, respectively. With the introduction, Anritsu continues to support 5G and addresses the need for test solutions to address the increased number of 5G FR1 frequency band combinations resulting from advanced Carrier Aggregation (CA).
With a 5G base station emulation function, the Radio Communication Test Station MT8000A provides all-in-one support for RF measurements, protocol tests, and applications tests in FR1 (to 7.125 GHz) and Frequency Range (FR) 2 Millimeter-Wave (mmWave) bands. An intuitive GUI supports various application measurements, such as handover tests, and quasi-normal and abnormal network tests. Maximum IP data throughput can be measured for a wide variety of band, CA, and MIMO combinations. Integrating it with an OTA chamber enables mmWave-band RF measurements and beamforming tests using call connections specified by 3GPP.
Anritsu is a provider of innovative communications test and measurement solutions. Anritsu engages customers as true partners to help develop wireless, optical, microwave/RF, and digital solutions for R&D, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance applications, as well as multidimensional service assurance solutions for network monitoring and optimization. Anritsu also provides precision microwave/RF components, optical devices, and high-speed electrical devices for communication products and systems. The company develops advanced solutions for emerging and legacy wireline and wireless technologies used in commercial, private, military/aerospace, government, and other markets.

Given that Platinum make some of the finest action games going and that only some of them make it to PC, one of them (temporarily?) vanishing from sale on PC should get me all het up. But eh, it's only Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan [official site] that has vanished from stores, and that's a bit bum - certainly no Metal Gear Rising. Besides, this happens all the time with licensed games published by Activision, and they often return just as unexpectedly as they vanished.
Let's barrel on through this so we can gab about Platinum's Nier: Automata, which is coming to PC and looks totally wizzo.
Right! As Eurogamer note, Mutants in Manhattan has been pulled from sale on Steam and is gone from console virtuastores too. SteamDB tracks Activision fiddling with the Steam page's guts on Wednesday. This happens a fair bit with Activison games based on licensed properties but sheesh, Mutants in Manhattan only launched in May. Some of Activision's Spider-Man games have vanished too.
Activision haven't said anything about this - and tend not to, on the many times it's happened before - but it seems likely it's down to licenses expiring rather than a whim of Ian Activision to spite people who wish to give him money. Sometimes these games return to sale, sometimes they... who knows where they go?
Activision's Deadpool game, for example, vanished from sale at the end of 2013 before returning in 2015. Though then they may have been extra-motivated by the Deadpool movie coming up on the horizon. Point is, these games come and go, and everyone who bought TMNT can still play it - it's not removed from their libraries. Fingers crossed that, should it return, TMNT won't be muffed up like the Marvel: Ultimate Alliance re-releases.
Anyway, stuff that, let's talk Nier: Automata. Platinum have joined up with Square Enix to work on the sequel to the unconventional 2010 console action-RPG. It's due this year and looks weird/wild. Platinum's work with other people's stuff can be great - look at Revengeance! - or bland - look at TMNT or Legend of Korra - and thankfully Nier seems another good'un.
Here, check out this video with prolific Platinum Let's Play man Chip Cheezum going through the demo that's out on PlayStation 4. You get to whack a massive deathbot with its own arm.
I did e-mail Squeenix's marketingmen last year to ask if the NieR demo was coming to PC; I never heard back. O-kay.
But TMNT? Ooh, coo, who knows? Clap your hands and chant "I believe in faeries" and maybe it'll return one day.

It’s Deus Ex Day, and the press is full of smog and people with knife-elbows. So here’s something to bring you back to nature. Lost Ember [official site] is an upcoming adventure that lets you walk in the paws of a possessive wolf. That is, a wolf who can possess other animals. He can leap into parrots and fly through the canopy, or dive into a fish and swim around in murky water. There's some mysterious ruins of an ancient race littering the world, crumbling and overgrown, and the wolf wants to know where all the people went. It’s all very pretty, so come and take a gander at the teaser trailer.
That music is very Coldplay. Ot is it Keane-ish? I honestly don’t know anymore. But it looks rather soothing, especially the chance to flap around in a big flock of colourful parrots. There’s also a mole that can dig from one place to another, and the ‘ember’ of the title, a companion that will float around with you and do special tricks, suggesting some form of mild puzzling as you travel through the ruins of the old world. A people known as the Inrahsi once lived here, raising arrogant temples and building a once-thriving capital city, only to pull a major Ozymandias. Which definitely grants the game a bit of a Journey vibe.
The developers, Mooneye Studios, are planning a Kickstarter soon but are asking folks to subscribe to their own newsletter first.
RPS is obliged to add, for the record, that the best possession mechanics were those of Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus, a game which allowed the player to psychically possess their own farts. That's all, carry on.

Continue ShoppingThe natural beauty movement is changing the face of the beauty industry. Consumers are rejecting chemical filled cosmetics for natural beauty products that work with your skin rather than against it, and not forgetting they are also a lot better for the environment.
At Rohr Remedy we have embraced this trend by responding to the demand for integrity in the formulation of skin care products and use only wild-harvested native plant extracts and other natural ingredients rich in essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, antibacterials, enzymes and folates. However, we still always get asked, why choose Rohr Remedy?

They also contain the blueprint for collagen production and vital enzymes which repair and restore the skin naturally. Rohr Remedy is a pioneering natural skin care brand that focuses exclusively on the bioactivity of Australian botanicals.
2. All our products contain highly concentrated extracts, achieved using a patented technique, that keeps 100% of the plant material. This means the key actives are supported to prevent any breakdown and enables better absorption. In fact, we have had our extracts tested one and two years after production, and the actives remain constant in concentration and efficacy.
3. All Rohr Remedy products are cruelty-free and free from added parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, propylene glycol, sulphates, synthetic fragrances, Bisphenol A (BPA), artificial colours, artificial perfumes, aluminium, and silicone.
4. Rohr Remedy has curated a range with flexibility, we advocate a radical new approach to skin care which empowers individuals to determine their own daily regime, that can be easily varied and tailored.
5. Our key raw ingredients are sourced ethically and sustainably in regional Australia. Wild harvested through Indigenous traditional owners or from small specialist, passionate farmers.
6. We do not use fillers, our formulations are highly concentrated, creating a better result.
7. Unisex, our brand has been designed for the whole family. With light natural perfumes it is gentle enough for children, but rich enough for men and women of all ages.
8. Our packaging is artist-designed, so looks great, with minimal branding. After all your bathroom is about you, not us. It is also designed for flexibility and is easy to travel with and use. Our plastics are BPA free, and we use recycled cardboard for our boxes.

“I am loving the Kakadu Plum Face Serum with Vit C so much! I do not usually use a lot of products because I do not like all the chemicals. However, I have been using this on my skin and love it. It feels amazing and I am getting so many comments… In fact, I love it so much I got the Rosalina Face Cleanser for my teenage daughter (amazing results) and the Boab and Rosehip with Vit E Oil for a pregnant friend and now keep the Gumbi Gumbi Lip Balm on hand for presents. I suspect Rohr products may end up being the only ones in our house. Thank you!”
“I simply can not believe how good native botanical skin care can be. My skin has never felt so clean and fresh. The Boab and Rosehip with Vit E Oil leaves my skin feeling silky, smooth and combined with the Lilly Pilly Face Moisturiser it leaves my skin feeling hydrated. The Kakadu Plum Face Serum with Vit C is a standout for me. Absolutely loving this brand!”

Sheering out of the sea just off the far end of the Sorrentine peninsula, the island of Capri has long been the most sought-after part of the Bay of Naples. During Roman times Augustus retreated to the island’s gorgeous cliff bound scenery to escape the cares of office; later Tiberius moved the imperial capital here, indulging himself in legendarily debauched antics until his death in 37 AD. After the Romans left, Capri was rather neglected until the early nineteenth century, when the discovery of the Blue Grotto and the island’s remarkable natural landscape coincided nicely with the rise of tourism. The English especially have always flocked here: D.H. Lawrence and George Bernard Shaw were among its more illustrious visitors; Graham Greene and Gracie Fields had houses here; and even Lenin visited for a time after the failure of the 1905 uprising.
Capri tends to get a mixed press these days, the consensus being that while it might have been an attractive place once, it’s been pretty much ruined by the crowds and the prices. And Capri is crowded, to the degree that in July and August, and on all summer weekends, you might want to give it a miss, though the island does still have a unique charm, and it would be hard to find a place with more inspiring views.

It’s a short walk from Piazza della Vittoria, past a long gauntlet of souvenir stalls, to Axel Munthe’s Villa San Michele, a light, airy house with lush and fragrant gardens that is one of the highlights of the island. A nineteenth-century Swedish writer and physician to the elite, Munthe lived here for a number of years, and the place is filled with his furniture and knick-knacks, as well as Roman artefacts and columns plundered from a ruined villa on the site. There’s also an attractive, small natural history exhibition in the gardens, which fills you in on local flora and fauna.
