Avalanche Victory Over Predators Stirs Hope
By J.D. Killian November 10th, 2019
I apologize ahead of time if this goes in a weird direction for hockey. It’s the first thing I have written in two weeks. Writing, for me, comes from the heart. When my heart is hurting, as it is now, it’s hard to write. So please bear with me as I share the journey of the past couple weeks with you and one of the reasons why I love hockey.
I enjoy hockey – all the activity on the ice, the skill and athleticism as well as the grace, the sound of the skates on the ice, the players talking to each other, the hitting. One of the things I grew most fond of, was the fighting. Not the sucker punch, cheap, off the puck stuff. I liked the old school “you messed with my teammate, time to pay the piper” kind of fight. Whatever squabbles or injustices there were, they were settled on the ice. By the end of the game, everyone shook hands and moved on. There is beauty in that simplicity.
Background Before the Game
But my life, and the lives of my children, took a sudden turn two weeks ago. A young man who had been close friends to two of my children, died at the age of 17. We found out at the beginning of this past week he took his own life. Our hearts are broken.
There was nothing beautiful or just about losing this young man. He had gone on a Boy Scout sailing trip with my son. My daughter went on a special birthday tubing adventure with him last year. They all went to youth group together. They weathered highs and lows. For a few years, our families were intertwined, through times of joy and sorrow.

Over the last couple of years, life took the families on different paths. While the kids tried to stay in touch, the past year had seen little in the way of communication. But there was always the hope as they got older, as they each found their way through high school, they would re-connect and enjoy adulthood together.
That all changed. M., in a dark moment, took his own life. He was a bright kid, gawky and socially awkward, with a crooked smile. He also possessed a gentle heart. He could be kind and sensitive to others even when he didn’t understand what they were going through. He could get lost in a mathematics or engineering design problem for hours. M. was a powerful mix of brilliance and sensitivity, all of which were still struggling to find their balance.
What does this have to do with hockey, you might ask? Fair question. Just this. As our family struggled to wrap our minds around this tragedy, to remember, to reflect, to question, hockey offered a welcome distraction to the pain.
I couldn’t really focus enough to write as I wrestled to be available to my kids as they fought with their own issues. Could they have done more? How could they have helped M.? How could M. have made such a permanent decision to end a beautiful life? All the anger, the sorrow, the outrage, the fear, the memories. Walking through the process is exhausting. And draining.
But we could have brief conversations about how the Colorado Avalanche were doing, which offered a small reprieve. They weren’t doing well – they were in the middle of a five-game losing streak and were losing key players like the Titanic took on water. But it gave us something to think about that didn’t require much from us.

In fact, the team doing poorly actually felt appropriate. We were struggling. The Avalanche were struggling. There’s not a lot one can do about a series of freak injuries. And there wasn’t much we could do about M. But there we were, trying to muddle our way through, much like the Avalanche. It was comforting to know other people were trying to deal with issues beyond their power to control as well.
M.’s funeral service was this past Tuesday, so we missed that game, although we recorded it because, thank God, Altitude was finally able to work out a deal with DirecTV. As we left the service, we checked in on the score and it wasn’t good. That was fine with us, because we weren’t doing so good either.
Entering the Avalanche-Predators Matchup
But a funny thing happened just two days later. At Thursday night’s game, my son and I went to see the Avalanche take on the Nashville Predators. We had low expectations because of the losing streak and being moderately depressed about the loss of M.

When we got to the game, we saw our usher, who was his usual combination of stoicism and friendliness. As we headed to our seats, we got to see other season ticket holders, welcoming acquaintances, who knew nothing about our last two weeks. But they were happy to see us and we were relieved to see them.
We could talk about the game, the injuries, the questionable food and vendor changes at the Pepsi Center, and relief came rushing over us. We had a little pocket of time where we could forget about the rest of the world and just enjoy being.
We could watch the pre-game skate and wonder what the new jumble of line combinations would look like. We could talk about the impact of losing Philipp Grubauer with such short notice. These weren’t big, earth shattering things. They were just the stuff of everyday life. And it felt so – normal. I realized it was the first time I had felt ‘normal’ since we got the news of M.’s death.
When the arena DJ decided everyone needed to feel the music in their chests, we got ear plugs. We fussed over finding bottle caps for our drinks because our seats don’t really have cupholders and the vendors are prohibited from giving them to customers. Normally, we bring our own, but we were out of sorts and left them at home. When Jake Schroeder started singing the national anthem, we sang too, loudly.
An Avalanche of Scoring
As the game started, and the Avalanche started playing, all the familiar sounds swept us into their rushing current. A couple of friendly Predators fans were talking with the diehard Avalanche fans in front of us, telling the grandmother she must miss having Matt Duchene on the team. The normally very genial woman responded with “no, not a bit”. My son and I cracked up.

The little boy behind us kept trying to start the “let’s go, Avalanche” chant and we joined in. We picked up extra placards to smash during the rivalry night shenanigans and started occasionally bopping each other with them. And we laughed. Not because we were remembering some funny story about M., which we had done plenty of. Not because of some attempt to lighten a mood, which we had also done. But just because we were having fun with each other and the friends around us.
The Avalanche played well enough in the first period to engage the crowd. It was a pleasant surprise since all the lines had been scrambled. But trying to figure out who was skating with whom and watching if they worked together was an adventure. They ended the first period ahead 2-1 with power play time to start the second and everything looked more promising for the team than they had in six games. But they had blown a lead in the third already this season, at home, in the waning seconds of the game, so no one was getting ahead of themselves.
Then the second period started. After getting behind 3-2 in the first five minutes of the period and watching Duchene celebrate his go-ahead goal, the Avalanche found another gear. The team went on to score six goals in eight minutes. People were still celebrating Joonas Donskoi’s game-tying goal when defenseman Ryan Graves scored from the point to put the Avalanche up 4-3.

It was amazing to see the team come back so quickly. Everyone was cheering and looking at each other in surprise.
When Andre Burakovsky scored just a little over a minute later, the place erupted. The Avalanche had scored three goals in less than two minutes against the Predators, a team favored to go deep in the playoffs. That’s when Predators coach Peter Laviolette elected to pull Pekka Rinne from the net. Yes, the same Rinne who had yet to face a loss this season.
Shortly thereafter, the Avalanche ended up on the penalty kill and it looked like the momentum could shift again. And it did. J.T. Compher made a great play to get the puck into the Predator’s zone where he dished it to Matt Nieto, who scored the Avalanche’s sixth goal of the game, the fourth in less than three minutes of play.
The fans erupted like they were losing their minds, my son and I were high-fiving everyone who moved, people were rushing up and down the stairs to hug each other. One gentleman just covered his mouth with his eyes wide in disbelief. It was pandemonium.

I had forgotten how good it felt to have something to cheer for. Grief can do that. And the cheering was doing something healing for my soul.
But the Avalanche weren’t done yet. A little over two minutes later, Matt Calvert converted off a Nathan MacKinnon snipe to put the Avs up 7-3. And three minutes later, Donskoi scored the team’s sixth goal of the period, their eighth of the game. It was astounding. The Avalanche scored six goals in eight minutes. Was this the same team that got shut out by the Arizona Coyotes just a few days ago?
The adrenaline rush left fans breathless. The second period ended with the Avalanche up 8-3 after an incredibly exhilarating effort. Not once during that period had my son and I thought about anything other than hockey. It was a sweet relief.
But this is the Avalanche, after all, and the audience had suffered their share of disappointment over the years. They were excited but not counting the Predators out – yet.
The third period saw the Predators score midway through, and everyone waited to see if they were going to work their way back into the game. But the Avalanche, while not as offensively potent as in the previous frame, were still playing well enough to keep the lead. Then, with just a little over two minutes left, Donskoi scored on the power play, notching his third goal of the night and earning his first ever NHL hat trick. Once again, raucous celebrations ensued as people threw hats on the ice, some even fighting to get theirs through the gap in the netting on the ends.
His first career hatty!

When play resumed (after collecting all the hats off the ice), chants of “We want 10” filled the Can, echoing off the rafters. The Predators apparently thought losing 9-4 was enough, as they held the puck behind their net as the seconds ticked down.
As the buzzer finally sounded, the fans went wild, cheering the haphazard collection of remaining players as they lifted their sticks to the audience. It was a brief moment of joy and relief. The losing streak was over and the Avalanche had re-discovered their scoring touch.
For the moment, the concerns about Nikita Zadorov’s health (he left after taking a puck to the face) and MacKinnon’s status (he didn’t play in the third), were far at bay.

It was a win, and after a long drought, everyone was drinking it in. There would be plenty of time for worrying tomorrow.
The Game’s Lasting Impact
I know one win isn’t necessarily important in the grand scheme of an 82-game season. But remembering you still know how to score and win, despite what gets thrown at you, is important. The win reminded me and my son that there were still things to look forward to, surprises we couldn’t plan, good things to hope for.
I wish M. had that. I wish he was here so I could remind him that sometimes when things look their bleakest, it doesn’t mean there isn’t something wonderful right around the corner. I hope and pray that I remember to share that hope with those who cross my path, that I can find words to encourage those who are downhearted and may not be able to find their way out of their dark hole on their own. And I share our story of grief to let others know they really have no idea the impact their lives have on others. They are more important than they think. People matter.
Also, one other encouragement. We never really know what someone else is going through, what troubles may be weighing on their heart. Tread lightly and be kind.
A hockey game can’t fix the troubles of the world. But this night, the Avalanche game reminded my son and I there is still joy to be had, unexpected fun and silliness around the corner, and the occasional oasis to offer respite from the cares of the world.
Thank You, Colorado Avalanche
I want to thank hockey for disrupting my plans, winning my heart, and reminding me there is still life ahead. I want to thank our usher for his reassuring and welcoming presence. I want to thank all those season ticket holders who endured the catcalls during the 48-point season and who we celebrated with during the playoff runs for sharing their kindness and joy.
The Colorado Avalanche helped bring some happiness back into our lives in our sorrow. (Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports)
I want to thank the Avalanche for offering a little respite from the world, allowing me to re-connect with play and wonder in the company of others. Finally, I want to thank those of you who take the time out of your busy lives to actually read anything I might scratch out. I appreciate that investment and I endeavor to write something worthy of your attention.
Until the next time – hold those you love close, fight for your silver lining, and remember to keep your eyes open for those unexpected pockets of joy! They are out there, even if they seem delayed right now.
And one more thing – Go Avalanche!

Launch set for NASA’s next-generation Mars rover Perseverance
The U.S. space agency’s $2.4 billion mission is scheduled for launch at 7:50 a.m. ET (1150 GMT) and is expected to reach Mars next February.
The car-sized six-wheeled robotic rover, which will launch atop an Atlas 5 rocket from the Boeing-Lockheed joint venture United Launch Alliance, also is scheduled to deploy a mini helicopter on Mars and test out equipment for future human missions to the fourth planet from the sun.
The weather forecast from the Air Force’s 45th Weather Squadron put chances of an undisturbed liftoff at 80 percent, reporting a slim chance that thick clouds would form over the launchpad and delay the launch.
“This is the ninth time we’ve landed on Mars, so we do have experience with it,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in an interview on Wednesday.
Perseverance is due to land at the base of an 820-foot-deep (250 meters) crater called Jezero, a former lake from 3.5 billion years ago that scientists suspect could bear evidence of potential past microbial life on Mars. Scientists have long debated whether Mars – once a much more hospitable place than it is today – ever harbored life.
One of the most complex maneuvers in Perseverance’s journey will be what mission engineers call the “seven minutes of terror,” when the robot endures extreme heat and speeds during its descent through the Martian atmosphere, deploying a set of supersonic parachutes before igniting mini rocket engines to gently touch down on the planet’s surface.
It is the latest launch from Earth to Mars during a busy month of July, following probes sent by the United Arab Emirates and China.
Aboard Perseverance is a four-pound (1.8 kg) autonomous helicopter named Ingenuity that is due to test powered flight on Mars for the first time.
Since NASA’s first Mars rover Sojourner landed in 1997, the agency has sent two others – Spirit and Opportunity – that have explored the geology of expansive Martian plains and detected signs of past water formations, among other discoveries. NASA also has successfully sent three landers – Pathfinder, Phoenix, InSight.
The United States has plans to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s under a program that envisions using a return to the moon as a testing platform for human missions before making the more ambitious crewed journey to Mars.
Perseverance will conduct an experiment to convert elements of the carbon dioxide-rich Martian atmosphere into propellant for future rockets launching off the planet’s surface, or to produce breathable oxygen for future astronauts.

GPS-tagged Osprey meets an ignoble end
By Carrie Miller
COURTESY PHOTO | Cutch the osprey after he was captured at North Fork Country Club in Cutchogue.
After their winter in southern climes, the ospreys have returned, with one notable and unfortunate exception.
Cutch, an osprey tagged by an ornithologist at the University of North Carolina with a GPS device and tracked on his long migratory sojourns for the past few years, vanished last fall. He made it as far as Colombia, South America, where he died while doing what osprey’s instinctively do, that is hunt for fish.
Cutch, so named because he was caught and tagged behind the fifth hole of the North Fork Country Club in Cutchogue, met his demise when he was accidentally impaled on a piece of a tree protruding from a pond on the Chico Mono Ranch, said ornithologist Rob Bierregaard, who for 12 years has been tracking osprey’s flight paths to learn about their southern migration patterns,. He started tracking North Fork ospreys in 2010.
Ospreys fly south during their first autumn, spending their winters as juveniles in the warmer climate and building up strength to make their way north to breed. They return to the same area every winter.
Cutch, Mr. Bierregaard’s latest tagged osprey, left Long Island on Sept. 10 and followed the East Coast to North Carolina. In just one day, Cutch covered 286 miles to reach South Carolina, and he reached Florida by Sept. 18. He then zipped thorough Cuba, bypassing the first of many threats, according to flight path information on Mr. Bierregaard’s website.
“In Cuba they have to avoid fish farms, which is tough,” Mr. Bierregaard said. “It’s like telling me not to go to the all you-can-eat buffet. Fish farmers are not keen on sharing their fish with osprey.”
Next Cutch crossed the island of Hispaniola, through Haiti to the Dominican Republic, and from there across the Caribbean. He made landfall in Colombia southwest of the Guajira Peninsula, South America’s northernmost point, by Sept. 27.
The map shows Cutch’s long final flight from the North Fork to the tip of South America in the fall.
On Sept. 29 Cutch’s signal stopped moving, suggesting his untimely demise, Mr. Bierregaard said.
“I zoomed in on the Google search, I could see the transmitter was at a building on the edge of a town in Colombia,” Mr. Bierregaard said. “I thought he was shot and someone took the transmitter.”
Mr. Bierregaard said he posted the details on his website, asking if anyone knew anything about the area.
“Someone figured out that it was the office of the Colombian Fish and Wildlife Service,” he said. “They had the bird and they emailed me pictures within an hour and a half of my sending the notice out.”
The osprey’s story was just beginning to get out, and it soon went national, making the evening news on Colombia television, Mr. Bierregaard said.
The news reported that Cutch’s death was originally thought to be an “assassination” but turned out to be an “accidental suicide,” the ornithologist said.
He called Cutch’s demise “a total fluke. We’ve had fluke accidents before, but skewering yourself on a submerged snag is a new one.”
Cutch, he said, “was pretty neat. He was a young bird that I believe had been born two years before.”
The bird is likely the offspring of the osprey he tagged in 2011 and named Tucker, Mr. Bierregaard said.
“He would have been Tucker’s young. He was hanging around the nest and the parents didn’t seem to be vicious toward him. He came back to the nest and that’s the behavior of a bird on his first year.”
As luck would have it, Cutch’s father Tucker met a similar fate — he was killed after hitting a bus just a month after he was tagged in 2011, Mr. Bierregaard said. Tucker’s mate was able to raise Cutch solo.
Cutch was caught for tagging in the same fashion as Mr. Bierregaard’s other ospreys. He was tempted by a whole sea bass that researchers had put in a nest at the country club.
When Cutch dove to grab the fish, his talons became caught in what Mr. Bierregaard calls a noose blanket, fishing line and rubberized chicken wire.
“Once he was stuck in the nest, I put a hood over his head, and that actually calms him down,” Mr. Bierregaard said. “It takes me about 40 minutes to put on the transmitter.”
Mr. Bierregaard tagged his first North Fork bird, known as North Fork Bob, in early August 2010. Bob has been going strong ever since. Mr. Bierregaard said.
Bob hasn’t yet returned, but he’s on his way.
“He left five days earlier than prior years” said Mr. Bierregaard. “He left on the 15th and the previous years he left on the 20th. So my guess is he’ll be back around the first or second of April.”

Egypt’s Contempt for Press Freedom
Sisi has led a crackdown on any political dissent since Mohamad Morsi’s ousting by the military in July 2013. Islamists and Brotherhood supporters, prominent human rights advocates and protestors have all come under attack with an estimated 41,000 arrested since the military takeover. The al Jazeera verdicts surely highlight the reality of the current state of media freedom in Egypt and the grim continuation of the regime’s crackdown.
By Andrea Teti and Sarah Hynek | Via The Conversation
(Photo via Al Jazeera video stream)
Three Al Jazeera English journalists have been convicted in the Cairo Criminal Court of spreading false news, threatening national security and aiding the Muslim Brotherhood – previously Egypt’s first democratically elected government now deemed a terrorist organization.
The trial judge, Mohamed Nagy, handed Australian journalist, Peter Greste, and his Egyptian-Canadian colleague, Mohamad Fadel Fahmy, seven-year sentences in a maximum security prison. Egyptian Al Jazeera journalist Baher Mohamad was given an additional three years for being in possession of a spent bullet casing he picked up.
The “Al Jazeera Three” were tried with 20 other defendants – some of whom were students thought to be members of the Brotherhood – and other foreign correspondents, including the Dutch journalist Rena Netjes and British journalists Sue Turton and Dominic Kane, who were all tried in absentia and received ten-year sentences.
The international community has expressed its shock and outrage. Australia’s foreign minister, Julie Bishop, remarked on the appalling severity of the verdict while in the UK, both foreign minister, William Hague, and the prime minister, David Cameron, said they were “appalled” by the verdict. The EU has said it is “extremely concerned” and the US secretary of state, John Kerry, called the verdict “chilling and draconian”. Several Western countries have summoned Egyptian ambassadors. Amnesty International’s director, Steve Crawshaw, called the sentence “Outrageous … [an] absolute affront to justice.”
No credible evidence
The prosecution lacked any credible evidence in the case, producing an array of elements as evidentiary support ranging from the dubious to the surreal, including the playing of inaudible recordings in court, showing clips from networks other than Al Jazeera, and even a pop video by Gotye, an Australian singer.
These judgments are part of the new Egyptian government’s strategy to marginalize the influence of Qatar at the behest of the new Egyptian regime’s Saudi allies. Qatar, where Al Jazeera is headquartered, supports the Muslim Brotherhood. But the sentences also serve as a stark reminder of the intimidation experienced by journalists on the ground – whether foreign or Egyptian – and the dismal environment in which political dissent and opposition navigate at great personal risk. The judiciary has in recent months sentenced more than 1,000 Brotherhood supporters to death, including, just last week, Muslim Brotherhood’s general guide, Mohamad Badie, and at least 182 of the organization’s supporters.
No due process
The verdicts will still go through an appeals process, but given they came the day after Kerry’s personal meeting with Egypt’s recently elected president, Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, the Egyptian regime seems to have been callously heedless of guaranteeing due process in the trial.
Article 70 of Egypt’s new constitution guarantees freedom of expression and freedom of the press. However, prior to being elected Egypt’s president, Sisi made a statement to the editors of the nation’s primary newspapers that freedom of the press should be balanced with national security. Al Jazeera, in particular, has come under attack by the Egyptian regime for its supposed sympathies with the Muslim Brotherhood. This trial is a clear message that opposition voices, including journalists, may also fall victim to the state’s arbitrary security measures. Despite scant evidence, the judiciary appears all too willing to issue politically useful but legally nonsensical verdicts at the expense of any semblance of human rights or the rule of law.
These verdicts send a chilling message to all journalists, and particularly to Egyptian journalists trying to do their job, who cannot rely on the attention of the international media or the support of foreign governments.

Year after year, Moscow is moving east, enhancing its ties to China. Year after year, New Delhi is moving west, building stronger links to the US. If this trend continues into the mid-term future, the two friendly countries might ultimately find themselves in the opposite geopolitical and economic blocks, and the Eurasian space will split into two pieces. Over time, Moscow and New Delhi will find it more challenging to maintain their bilateral cooperation even at the current levels, not to mention it is further deepening and broadening.
It looks like the UK government will claim victory by arguing that it is now able to escape the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice while getting tariff and quota-free access for goods exported to the EU.

Humanitarian aid flown in for the people of Gaza
Roma 04 August 2014
"طائرة محملة بالمساعدات الإنسانية لأهالي غزة من إيطاليا"
A flight carrying humanitarian aid donated by the Italian Cooperation for the people of Gaza will leave the United Nations base in Brindisi tomorrow for Tel Aviv airport
The plane, which will also be carrying Deputy Foreign Minister Lapo Pistelli, will deliver 30 tonnes of emergency supplies include tents, blankets, emergency power generators, drinking water converters and healthcare and hygiene kits valued at an approximate overall 350,000 euro.
After arriving in Tel Aviv, the supplies will be distributed through the United Nations to the most vulnerable segments of the Palestinian population – women, children and the elderly – who are suffering the most serious consequences of the conflict under way.
“As we await the conditions for a permanent ceasefire”, Deputy Minister Pistelli stated, “Italy is making tangible its solidarity with the Palestinian people, who are paying the highest price for the hostilities”.
The humanitarian flight is part of the wider emergency aid plan for the people of Gaza, Minister Mogherini announced in Parliament this morning, the sum total of which has to date surpassed 2 million euro.
Italy will be launching new humanitarian initiatives in the near future, based on how the security situation in the Gaza Strip develops.
Ahead of the donors conference planned for Oslo in early September, it is Italy’s intention to earmark additional resources for the Gaza humanitarian crisis, equal to approximately 2.5 million euro.
Those funds will go to finance incisive social interventions on behalf of the Palestinian people, which are to be realised by Italian NGOs operating locally, as well as in collaboration with the Palestinian Red Crescent and agencies of the UN system.

Having signed with Miami’s 22 Entertainment, whose back catalogue includes Royce da 5’9″, Fashawn, Joe Budden, J-Kwon and KXNG Crooked, his first release on his new deal was the “Veteran” EP with long time sparring partner, east coast rapper Tone Chop, in November ’16.

This will be followed on October 20th with the “Rare Fabric” EP, a joint venture with Tragedy Khadafi. Meantime, he’s been recording new music with Horseshoe Gang, Royce da 5’9″ and is also near completion of a solo producer album “I Missed My Bus” which includes guest feature artists Ruste Juxx, Ras Kass, Skyzoo, Rah Digga, Guilty Simpson, KXNG Crooked and many more.

“A Rising Star In The North” – New feature on producer Frost Gamble in “British Hip Hop”
By urbanelitepr | August 16, 2017
In the past week, UK journalist Peter Johnstone chopped it up with eastcoast hip hop producer Frost Gamble in the lead up to his new album with rapper Tone Chop “Respect Is Earned Not Given” releasing on September 29th.
Relocated from NY State to Canada some years back, Frost discusses his earliest days in hip hop, from breakdancing to Mc-ing and ultimately crate digging and production. Having been a long time associate of Chop dating back to a friendly rap battle rivalry, he discusses the progression from their “Veteran” Ep of last year to the new album.
He then speaks on his general approach to production, the factors involved working with different artists, the various considerations when writing together, and explains why his greatest moment to date came via an endorsement by the legendary Rakim.
In addition to two albums this year with Detroit’s ZotheJerk and the new release with Chop, Frost has been much in demand. He has just wrapped a new project with Tragedy Khadafi, has recently remixed tracks for Royce da 5’9″ and Horseshoe Gang and during the interview reveals details of his new solo album nearing completion “I Missed My Bus” which includes guest artists Skyzoo, Ras Kass, KXNG Crooked, Ruste Juxx, Rah Digga and many more.

New Interview | Tone Chop & Frost Gamble speak with Sherron Shabazz for ‘The Real Hip Hop’
By urbanelitepr | November 21, 2016
In the lead up to the release of their new EP “Veteran”, NY State rapper Tone Chop and Winnipeg based producer Frost Gamble spoke with Chicago based journalist Sherron Shabazz, the editor of US online ‘The Real Hip Hop’.
The pair first met as rivals in Binghamton’s rap battle scene during the 90’s before eventually teaming up, however due to Frost’s re-location they then pursued solo careers while keeping in touch with the occasional collaboration. The EP represents the duo’s first official extended release, a warm up to an album scheduled for 2017.
The interview addresses the recording process of the EP and how they came to the decision to finally work on a more extensive project. The subject matters then broaden as they give their thoughts on the new wave of “drug rappers” and the effect on today’s youth, the issue of emcees using writers, educating the next generation of rappers about the pioneers, the benefit to the scene of contemporary artists such as Kendrick Lamar and J Cole and much more
It’s an interesting perspective on today’s hip hop by two artists who have put in the hard yards, and you can read the entire feature HERE
The EP was released on November 18th through Seven 13 Music & Entertainment and includes the single “Leave It Alone”, a tribute to Sean Price featuring Ruste Juxx which is also discussed during the interview.

New Tone Chop & Frost Gamble EP “Veteran” released today (November 18th) through Seven 13 Music & Ent [audio stream]
Once rivals in upstate NY’s rap battle scene, Binghamton rapper Tone Chop and Winnipeg based producer Frost Gamble have released their new EP “Veteran” today through Seven 13 Music & Entertainment.
Their first official collaborative project, the EP is a warm up for a new album planned in 2017 and includes the single “Leave It Alone” featuring Ruste Juxx and Nobi, a tribute to the late Sean Price.
The pair became partners in rhyme and tagging during the 90’s before Frost’s relocation saw them pursue solo careers. Collaborations with Tom Gist, Jinx da Juvy, Sadat-X, J-Ro and Rakim’s son Tahmell followed, while this year Frost contributed to Seven 13’s “God Bless Dope Rappers” compilation featuring Royce da 5’9″, Horseshoe Gang, Kid Vishis and Crooked I.
Armed with an MPC, Frost produces a classic soundscape of breaks, loops and turntablism over which Chop narrates his journey through life and hip hop. Lyrically on point through a series of punchline bars and hard hitting rhymes, dues are paid to the pioneers and a previous era while still embracing the future. 7 tracks deep, “Veteran” represents the true essence of a modern age and lays down a marker for next year.

'Game of Thrones' cameo of the week: Noah Syndergaard
Noah Syndergaard - Arturo Pardavila III via Wikimedia Commons
The New York Mets ace finally had a chance to live out his screen dreams
by Holden Walter-Warner (article) and Milos Kitanovic (video)
August 7, 2017 at 12:42 PM August 7, 2017 at 12:42 PM
"Game of Thrones" is officially at the point where cameos have become acceptable, even commonplace. Most people were waiting patiently for Ed Sheeran's cameo in the first episode of the season. Sports fans, however, knew there was a better cameo coming along. Sure enough, Sunday night marked the debut appearance on the show for New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard, a known fan of the show and all things action-adventure.
Awesome 'Game of Thrones' appearance
It was revealed back in March that the Mets ace would have a cameo in "Game of Thrones." Beyond that, however, the producers of the show did their usual excellent job in keeping details away from the public.
Therefore, if you blinked or had a hard time recognizing him, you may have missed him on Sunday's episode. There are some screen grabs, however, which show Syndergaard sticking out like a sore thumb in the biggest battle scene in the show's history.
Did you catch Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard as a Lannister solider? @GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/SO1HhAenIS
— James Hibberd (@JamesHibberd) August 7, 2017
Syndergaard played a member of Lannister's army during the climactic battle scene. He even had a chance to show off his powerful pitching arm, allowing him to throw a spear that clearly pierced someone. It's unclear what fate his character ultimately suffered, especially since the episode ended on a major cliffhanger. It's "Game of Thrones" - he probably died.
But not before making a much better cameo than the British singer/songwriter.
Tough season for Syndergaard
Syndergaard is better known as "Thor" from the Marvel Universe due to his flowing locks that resemble those of Chris Hemsworth. He has been anything but a superhero, though. The ace suffered a torn lat muscle early in the season, which was followed by controversy about his refusal to take an MRI.
He hasn't pitched since then and his return during this season is in doubt. Without Syndergaard, the Mets have collapsed, taking the team out of playoff contention.
Maybe his cameo on "Game of Thrones" will give him the strength to persevere, though. There's nothing more inspirational than picking up a spear in the midst of a major battle and tossing it like nobody's business.
Syndergaard just has to do the same with a baseball. If it doesn't come this season, he may have some more time to jump into cameos. It just might not be on "Game of Thrones," though. He should start to look for a show where characters die a little less often - maybe "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" or "The Bachelorette" would be better suited for his livelihood.

Iris Baumgartner
Iris Baumgartner, head of Angiology and director of Vascular Research, University Hospital, Bern, Switzerland, is a voice for the complementary use of surgery and endovascular therapy for the patient’s benefit. In this interview with Vascular News, she spoke on her career, lower limb revascularisation, and the development of a late passion for football, thanks to her son. One of the few women in a field dominated by men, Baumgartner says that women must stand up and speak loud “Yes, we can!”
When did you decide you wanted a career in medicine?
I never decided to have a career in medicine. Rather, my mentors (Largiader, Bollinger, Mahler, Isner) influenced me to keep on going, but I never felt forced or even stressed about it. Finally, I had some luck, good timing and probably some support as well. Not that I did not work hard – but 60- to 70-hour weeks never felt like that for me, I always had fun in what I was doing.
Why did you decide to specialise in angiology?
As a medical student, I did a four-month training in surgery and was mainly working in vascular surgery at the University Hospital, Zurich (1985/86). At that time, angiology and interventional therapy was still in its infancy. What I realised was that the vascular surgeon (Prof J Largiader) and the angiologist, one of the very early interventionalists (Dr E Schneider) worked in a complementary fashion, and even were friends. So instead of separating surgery and medicine from each other, they rather treated vascular diseases together, with a high level of expertise from both sides. That impressed me so much that I decided to become an angiologist working in collaboration with the surgical partner for the best interest of patients. Although the surgical side influenced me a lot, it was the interventional part that I was even more impressed with. When compared with surgery, the interventional part is very aesthetic, rather unbloody, highly efficient in skilled hands, and a bit of an artwork – wonderful to watch! (So, although I do not have time to do painting and drawing, because of my time constraints, I still have a bit of artwork in my daily cathlab work. If you have that feeling it will never become boring).
Who have been your greatest influences?
Prof J Largiader, vascular surgeon, influenced me with his lived concept of collaboration between vascular surgery and vascular medicine during my time as a medical student at the University Hospital Zürich. He had a very modern view of uniting medicine and surgery to solve problems of vascular patients in a best fit concept. And I am still convinced that this concept is for the good of patients.
Prof A Bollinger, angiologist, former head of Angiology, University Hospital Zürich, mentored and supported my first academic steps (1989/1990). Despite my very little knowledge on the academic side, he made me become critical and more analytic on the written word. The academic spirit of his clinic at that time made all of us fellows wishing to be involved, be part of the new rising discipline – angiology. Probably it was a combination of his charismatic, academic personality and the rise of the new discipline that influenced my career so strongly.
Prof F Mahler, cardiologist and angiologist, former head of Angiology at University Hospital Bern, also trained me in interventional angiology from scratch onwards. What kept me so long in his institution and still keeps me at this place, is the same point that influenced me initially – the fruitful and peaceful, complementary collaboration between vascular surgery and vascular medicine. Mahler also influenced me a lot with his willingness to step back if needed and to make commitments, important in every partnership. It worked while he was head of angiology and I continue on this, and am convinced that this is the way to a strong future for vascular specialists.
Another great influence was Prof J Isner (who died in 2001), a cardiologist, from Tufts University, Boston. Prof Isner gave me self-esteem and inspired me to continue in my own academic career (1996/97). I worked with him as a research fellow in Boston at the St Elisabeth’s Hospital (Tufts University) and I never in my life met such a charismatic person, positive, gentle and full of energy. This would be the best way of describing his philosophy in life.
What has been your proudest moment?
Becoming a mother.
How has angiology evolved since you began your career?
It started as a baby back in 1986/87 and has grown up in the meantime. However, being in the field for so long, I am worried about the destructive competition that is going on in the interventional field – that might become dangerous and it is highly influenced by the interests of the device industry.
You have been involved in the investigation of stem cell therapy for critical limb ischaemia. What are your expectations regarding this technique?
I am afraid it is not prime time for it yet. Too early, too many unsolved questions and it is too expensive to become a widely used therapy for patients.
How do you see below-the-knee angioplasty results so far?
This is a field that evolved so much over the last five to seven years that I would call it revolutionary. When I started as an interventional trainee below-the-knee interventions were reserved for high profile interventionalists as the material was so poor. There was indeed a high risk of failure and possibility of deteriorating the situation for the patient. Today low profile wires and balloons have opened up a door for highly successful procedures. Although it remains hard to compare angioplasty with surgery, there is common agreement that endovascular should even be the first choice treatment. With the low complication rates, no need for bypass veins, a wider spectrum of elderly, fragile patients can be treated. I think we will see decreasing amputation rates in the coming years. But I also have to raise my finger – it is like modern art, not everyone can do it. A fundamental caveat is that these techniques should be envisioned only in the hands of experienced operators capable of fast and proficient management of potential complications. Technically, the antegrade access is often preferable given the need for long device shafts to reach the foot safely and direct handling and torque of materials. Alternative techniques that should be considered if the antegrade approach has failed are, e.g. direct puncture of foot vessels and retrograde recanalisation of challenging occlusion, or tracking of guide wires and balloons through parallel collaterals that bypass the target lesion.
What would you say in order to persuade physicians about the advantages of endovascular approaches in the treatment of critical limb ischaemia?
Despite the merits of bypass surgery, the treatment requires excellent surgical skills and venous conduits to prove effective and safe in patients with below-the-knee lesions
PREVENT reflects contemporary results of limb salvage surgery, with its inherent medical and surgical complications (early occlusion of the index graft [5.2%], wound complications [4.8%], infections [2.8%], 30-day mortality [2.7%], myocardial infarctions [4.7%], cerebrovascular events [1.4%]).
BASIL has shown that endovascular revascularisation of critical limb ischaemia is equivalent to established standard care; i.e. bypass surgery, but at a significantly lower rate of infective, wound, and cardiovascular complications.
Endovascular treatment was shown to be equivalent to surgery in a large cohort of all-comers with critical limb ischaemia when treatment modality was chosen individually.
Plain old balloon angioplasty using low-profile balloons remains the basis of below-the-knee revascularisation with well established pros (ease of use, safety, cost-effectiveness) and limitations (risk of elastic-recoil, dissection, perforation, and abrupt closure).
Endovascular techniques to treat below-the-knee lesions should be envisioned only in the hands of experienced operators capable to manage potential complications.
Switzerland has had a successful experience with limb salvage. How can this model be exported to other countries?
The secret is the complementary use of surgery and endovascular therapy plus a careful follow-up on patients. Co-factors as wound care, secondary infection, and medical therapy need to be looked at as well, whether this is in collaboration with other specialities or by vascular surgery does not really matter, however, someone has to care for the patient. What makes the system successful in Switzerland is that we see endovascular therapy as important, but not the only thing that matters in critical limb ischaemia. If other specialists start treating these patients as they think it is done with endovascular… it will not work. It seems that we have this understanding in Switzerland.
What other areas of the vascular system are you interested in and why?
Venous disease – unmet needs to prevent post-thrombotic syndrome and mortality from pulmonary embolism.
Tell us about one of your most memorable clinical cases.
A 106-year old female with acute limb ischemia due to a cardiac embolus down to the trifurcation – we got her late in the evening, did an endovascular aspiration of the embolus under local anaesthesia. It was done within 30 minutes and she was at home next day without pain and with a warm foot.
What is the most interesting paper you have come across recently?
Renal denervation – The Lancet 2009.
In this field, you are still one of the few women among men. How do you feel and do you see that changing in the future?
I get this question quite often. There will be more women in the future; however, it will take time to cross the male-dominated hurdles. The other point is that there is a minimum number of females needed in the field to stimulate those still not sure that is possible to make a career. It is also up to females to stand up, like in politics and speak up loud – “Yes, we can” – as we will not get the red carpet from men to come into the job.
Outside of medicine, what other interests do you have?
Flora and fauna are my absolute favourites. I love visiting other countries, to see the zoo, the botanical gardens, the aquarium or just the countryside that is typical for the region. My dream is to sail the Amazon River. Not that I have a green thumb or a big garden, but I love to grow vegetables by myself as well.
My family is important. I have a 12-year-old boy and have been married for 24 years to a neurologist. Although football was never a sport I had a major interest in, this changed due to my son. He is a passionate football player and meanwhile even I am a football fan, not only watching my son playing, but even following Young Boys, when they have home games (YB is a first league football team from Bern, where I live). It is a way to take a step away from the hospital and to socialise with people who are not even close to medicine.
Finally, I do some jogging and am hopefully doing my first marathon this year (NY marathon). I do about 30 to 50km per week plus some gym in the evenings. While I am not particularly a sporty person, running calms me down and makes me feel better “afterwards”.
I love painting and drawing, but I have too little time to continue this hobby.

Also using the audio test to solve additional verification works with a screen reader. It worked especially well using the Chrome browser.
While we have a 'Skip to content' link on every page when new users access the website they will receive our cookie consent banner at the top of the page. This can't be skipped over as it's important to get consent for cookies to comply with the General Data Protection Regulations. We do not believe this to be an accessibility issue but it does mean that the site will fail some automated accessibility tests. Once a user has chosen their level of consent they will then be able to access the 'Skip to content' link.

Disproportionate burden
We are not currently claiming that any accessibility problems would be a disproportionate burden to fix.
Content that's not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards - for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value).

Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. We are currently conducting an audit to assess the accessibility of our PDFs and plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages. We will also try to ensure any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards and where we find any that are not accessible we will rectify this as soon as possible.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix archive material such as news articles published before 2018.

A project is currently in place to upgrade the software that runs the University website. During this process accessibility will be one of overarching principles and priorities. Some existing accessibility issues were resolved during this development work.
Support, guidance and training process in place for all University staff to increase awareness of accessibility and what our responsibilities are.
From May 2020 onwards the University's Information Services team have been running a series of workshops and campaigns to highlight the importance of Word and PDF accessibility and train users in how to audit and then improve the accessibility of these documents. We strongly encourage all of our website editors to attend these workshops.
Project in 2019 - 2020 to create a website design and development framework for the University where accessibility will be a priority.
This statement was prepared on 20 July 2020. It was last reviewed on 12 August 2020.
This website was last manually tested in August 2020. The test was carried out by the School of Informatics communications team.
While the website was last tested in August 2020 there is also a monthly auditing process. Tests are carried out using a set of automated auditing tools. The testing is followed by manual prioritisation of any issues. Accessibility improvements, bug fixes and development work to fix issues will be recorded to keep a record of work completed.
Design framework
The central University of Edinburgh website, on which the School of Informatics website is based, uses a design framework we call EdGEL. This framework was built with accessibility in mind from the outset. All the page and design elements for the website are run from the framework. However a major accessibility review was carried out in May 2017. A number of accessibility issues were found and corrected at that point. There have been no major changes to the design framework since that point.

TV Review: Lovecraft Country, 1x7 "I Am"
LV Taylor reviews the seventh episode of season one of Lovecraft Country, "I Am," which gives Aunjanue Ellis her time to shine.
LV Taylor September 29, 2020
Whew! Episode 7 of Lovecraft Country was a lot in all it’s splendid, multi-dimensional afro-futurism glory. “I Am” picks up right where episode 6 left off. The show opens with Hippolyta (Aunjanue Ellis) still trying to figure out Titus’ horary as she continues to get more and more frustrated. She feels defeated and whispers to George (Courtney B. Vance) that she can’t figure it out and has failed when — right at the moment when divine intervention hits and figures out how to unlock it. So get ready for a wild ride — she’s on a quest for answers.
On the other side of town, Ruby (Wunmi Mosaku) is still reeling from finding out William (Jordan Patrick Smith) has actually been Christina (Abbey Lee) the entire time and is pissed for being lied to, feeling used. But Christina finally opens up to her, and we find out why she did it (part revenge for her dead lover William and part wanting to prove her father and the order wrong about women). The episode then jumps over to Tic (Jonathan Majors) and Leti (Jurnee Smollett), who realize they have been having the same dream in the burning house. As they try to decipher the dream, they realize that while Christina is after the missing pages, they will need the entire book because it will tell them how to do the spells. But Atticus will need to find out more about his mother’s side of the family to find them, so they head to Montrose’s (Michael Kenneth Williams) for clues. As they approach Montrose’s place, he argues with Sammy (Jon Hudson Odom), and they catch them in the middle of it. Now, with Montrose’s secret out in the open, the father and son have an emotional and violent confrontation where Tic calls his father out by his name.
Atticus and Leti get there next clue and make plans to head to St. Louis to track down Atticus’ cousin; they rush to Hippolyta to see if they can borrow the car. Things are still icy between them because she now knows they are not telling the truth about her husband’s death. She says no and heads off on a “guide book trip,” forcing Tic and Leti to opt for plan b. Leti ends up staying behind to try and patch things up with her sister, Ruby, and ends up finding the horary, figuring out Hippolyta is in danger and that she might be pregnant. Atticus gets another clue in a matching birthmark and runs to aid Hippolyta (does Tic have Braithwhite magic and ancestor magic in his blood?). He shows up just in time as she has discovered a dimension altering machine, but two white cops have caught her. A scuffle ensues, and they accidentally open up a portal that sucks Hippolyta and Atticus in.
This is where things get trippy, and the episode’s title, “I Am,” comes into play. Hippolyta gets taken in by the futuristic Seraphina AKA Beyond C’est (Karen LeBlanc) and her amazing afro. She takes her on a time journey to find and free herself along the way. Hippolyta thinks she’s in a prison, but Beyond C’est (an ode to Beyoncé if you say it out loud…or beyond “it is” (c’est in French)) is really trying to free her from the prison she is already in. She tells Hippolyta she can be whoever she wants to be as she begins to live her dream of taking the stage in Paris in the 1920s with Josephine Baker (Carra Patterson). Her time in Paris frees her mind as she is opened up to a lifestyle and freedom she has never had before. Her time with Baker is not only eye-opening but also life-changing. There’s even a cameo by Frida Kahlo (Camila Canó-Falviá). It is a scene filled with feminine power in all its glory. As Baker and Hippolyta have an emotional heart to heart about Hippolyta’s hatred, rage, and anger towards white people, she exclaims “I AM HIPPOLYTA,” as she is transported in the world of the Dahomey warriors (the real-life, all-female tribe of African fighters who fought against white colonizers). It is here where she becomes a badass warrior and realizes her true power.
From there, Hippolyta takes her last journey to reconnect with her husband and really open up about how she felt. She tells him about her otherworldly travels and how she has finally found herself — she has named herself. She continues on with the uncomfortable, but needed conversation and finally tells George what it was that was eating away at her. She’s been angry all of this time because, for so much of her life, she has been shrinking herself — for society, for white America, for her husband — and George just stood by and let her shrink herself even more. It was like “being lynched without the noose” to have to dim yourself and not live your truth or be seen to fit into white society. But now, she is claiming herself, “I am Hippolyta, Discoverer.”
She then takes George to a different planet in a scene straight out of a campy 1950s B-movie, where she has to make a tough decision — does she stay traveling the dimensions and fully integrate into Beyond C’est’s society permanently, or does she go back home? She decides to return home to her daughter but is returning as a much different Hippolyta. The portal then shoots Atticus out, and he frantically searches for Hippolyta so that they can escape. He flees before the cops come, and then we pan up to the dead cop that Hippolyta shot, with Diana Freeman’s comic book laying in his puddle of blood. So we know that things are about to get a lot more serious and dangerous for all involved.
As usual, the episode keeps viewers intrigued and rapt in the story. “I Am” ends with so many questions and ways it could go. Leti and Tic’s unborn child is in danger as he could pose a threat to Christina. Where is Hippolyta, and how changed is she? Where did Tic go in the portal? And as usual, the “I Am” episode dropped lots of black history gems — Josephine Baker in Paris or Bessie Stringfield (the black female motorcyclist that passes Hippolyta on the road — she road alone across America in the 1930s).
There’s also a feminist bent (especially Black females) to this episode — it talks about women’s rage not being ladylike or how violence is not becoming, but this episode turns that on its head. And it can even be extrapolated out to Black people, in general. It is ok to be angry. We have a right to be. But we are no longer just a myth — we should live in our entire reality, be all the things that we are, and not shrink ourselves to fit into this society. It is about claiming your rightful space.
Black people, especially black women, are not usually seen in the fantasy genre space, but here it is in all its splendor and wonder — it is afro-futurism at its best. The show creates all of these epic worlds and lets us live vicariously through Hippolyta. And you gotta give it up to Aunjanue Ellis, for she was a beast in this episode — her unbridled confidence and feminine glory was inspiring.

After being assigned to the 752nd Squadron on July 31, 1944, George Koehn's Crew began their combat tour with a mission to Hamburg on August 6, 1944 - a tough one to start on. Their ninth (and what would prove to be their last) combat mission 36 days later was another tough one - Magdeburg. That mission, on September 11th was the last combat mission that the 458th would fly that month. The group, along with several other groups from the 2nd Bombardment Division, was pulled off of operations and assigned to fly gasoline to Patton's army in France. The 8th Air Force called these "Truckin' Missions", but aircrews received no mission credit.
On September 23rd Koehn and a skeleton crew boarded a Liberator borrowed from the 703BS 445BG, B-24H-15-FO 42-52348 named Lady Shamrock, and took off with their gasoline cargo. They arrived at their destination airfield, offloaded their cargo, and as it was too late to return to Horsham, spent the night in France. They were reported to have taken off the next morning, but never returned to Horsham. No one would know what happened to the crew until after the war. 2Lt Harold Coburn was aboard this flight as navigator. He was assigned to the 752nd Squadron on September 15, 1944 as navigator on the crew of 2Lt Clyde D. Simpson. He was listed as MIA (later DED) only nine days after arriving in theater.
Navigator, 2Lt Lawrence R. Fick flew the rest of his missions as a lead navigator with the crews of pilot's John Moran and Charles Lockridge. Sgt Robert Shea is shown flying missions with Lt Robert B. Lehr and crew who completed their tour in March 1945.

Plane took off from AAF Station 123 for St. Dizier, 23 Sep 44. No further definite information available. However it is assumed to have taken off on 24 Sep 44 for Home Station, AAF 123, and the only known information is that it did not return to AAF 123. Since A/C was temporarily assigned this Station for TD (Temporary Duty) and home station [for aircraft] is unknown the [serial] number of engines and armament is not available.

Capt Lawrence Fick
In early September 1944 the 458th Bomb Group was stood down from bombing missions and assigned to hauling gasoline to General Patton's rapidly advancing armored forces. The first planes were dispatched on September 12, 1944. Those planes were equipped with two of the large tanks in the front bomb bays that we had used when we flew across the Atlantic, some gas was stored in two of the wing tanks and five gallon Jeep cans were stored in the waist. The planes could only carry a little over 1,000 gallons in that configuration. During the next six days, trucks were sent to supply depots all over England to gather P-51 and P-38 drop tanks. The P-51 tanks were placed in the waist section of the planes and the large tanks remained in the front bomb bays. For the rest of the missions the planes were able to haul over 1,590 gallons per trip. The groups that were assigned to hauling gasoline were sent war weary B-24s from the other bases, so we were flying planes with all sorts of tail markings. We were not flying in formation so group identification was not important.
During the time of the gas haul missions, the lead crews were supposed to get some more training. Our crew was a lead crew just getting our start at deputy squadron leads.
The crews for gas hauls were made up of the pilot, co-pilot, navigator, flight engineer, and radio operator. The pilots were permitted to take two passengers on each trip. When I met Bob Shea, our tail gunner, at a reunion many years later, he told me that the non-essential members of the crew had drawn straws to see who could go as passengers. Jim Soesbe and Bob Shea drew the long straws. Bob did not want to go and gave his straw to Billie Hudson.
After a couple of days of dispatching the gas hauling crews, Colonel Williamson, the 752nd Squadron Commanding Officer, decided to go to the receiving bases to see if the unloading operation could be improved. Col. Williamson and the executive officer were both command pilots so they decided to make up an office crew rather than hitch a ride with one of the regular crews. The colonel flew as first pilot, the exec as co-pilot, I was the navigator, the squadron clerk (a flight engineer who had completed his tour) as flight engineer and a pick-up radio operator.
After six days of hauling gas, the group staff decided to send the lead crews on the gas haul too. Since I was in Lille, France with Col. Williamson when Koehn's crew was to take a load of gas, they assigned another navigator, 2Lt Harold Coburn, in my place. He may have just arrived at the base or he may have been from another crew that was not flying for some reason. If he was new to the way things worked in combat, he may not have had sufficient briefing. The briefings for the seventh day of gas hauls may not have been adequate for someone going on his first trip. Also, since we were using war weary ships from another base, the GEE box may not have been working. We were briefed to fly between 500 and 2,000 feet and that makes pilotage navigation a little difficult. You can't see as many check points as you can at much higher altitudes. The plane arrived at the designated destination in good shape, so the hardest part of navigation was done. The crew departed the next day for the return to Horsham.
On my return to base from Lille, I discovered that my crew was gone. After two days of checking and waiting, I convinced group communication to radio St. Dizier to see if they had arrived. The message I was given was that they had arrived safely and had departed on September 24th for their home base. The bases between St. Dizier and Horsham were contacted to see if they had landed at any of the old German airfields that were being used by the Allied Air Forces. There was no report of the ship landing at any of those facilities.
Based on what little information I had, I assumed that they had gone over one of the areas along the coast where German troops were still holding out and had been shot down, going into the Channel. A chart that I have for the November 25, 1944 mission still showed areas along the coast from Voorne (near Rotterdam) to the Zuider Zee where the Germans still had anti-aircraft guns capable of doing damage to a high flying formation. We were flying the gas hauls at very low altitudes easy targets for even small arms fire.
After a little time had passed, I started writing letters to Mrs. Koehn, Betty Soesbe, Betty's mother, and Dale Tucker. I felt I was not divulging any military secrets when I told them what I suspected. Betty always wanted to know why Jim (pictured at left) was with the crew [on that mission].
It was the mid-1960s before I had any more information about the crew. My family made a trip back east and we stopped to see Alma Koehn in Cleveland, Wisconsin. She had been in contact with Billie Hudson's sister and found out that Billie was badly burned and had been a prisoner of war. I was happy that he had survived, but was puzzled as to how he became a prisoner. Had the Germans taken a boat out and pulled him out of the Channel? I didn't ever consider that the plane had been shot down over dry land.
I had no more information until a few days ago when I got a phone call from Darin Scorza who lives in Overland Park, Kansas. His father was a navigator in the 458th Bomb Group and he is gathering material for a book. He was comparing the list of the names on the Missing Air Crew Report (MACR) for Koehn's crew and the crew list for Koehn's crew when it arrived at Horsham St. Faith, and he noticed the difference. He got my address from the 2nd ADA roster and gave me a call. He told me some interesting things that he had learned from the MACR on Koehn's plane, the casualty reports that Billie Hudson had filled out, the list of gas haul days, the destinations of the missions and from Jim Soesbe's brother, a report from the Dutch Coast Guard that wreckage of Koehn's plane had been found.
Based on information that I now have, I feel that the following is the story of George Koehn's crew activities from September 22nd to 24th. Koehn's crew was placed on the dispatch board on the night of September 22nd. They reported to briefing on the morning of September 23rd and were assigned a substitute navigator, 2Lt Harold Coburn (right).
The crew departed from Horsham St. Faith and arrived safely at the assigned destination of St. Dizier, which was not too far from the front lines. After off-loading their cargo of gasoline it was too late to return to Horsham, so the crew stayed the night. On the morning of September 24th, the crew departed from St. Dizier and headed for their home base. They would have been flying low over the approximate route that they had used on the trip the previous day. According to Hudson's casualty report, he heard Soesbe say, "The damn fools are shooting at us!" before the inter-phone was knocked out. The route back to Horsham should have crossed the coast line at the Belgian-Dutch border, but they may have drifted a little to the right of the direct route. Also, there may have been pockets of Germans that did not show up on any flak maps. No one will ever know for sure. Hudson could not contact the flight deck again and flames were apparently going through the fuselage. He bailed out of a waist window, but not before he was badly burned. After he bailed out the ship exploded. All of those empty drop tanks in the bomb bays made the returning planes flying bombs. His parachute apparently was not too badly burned and he landed in an area where he was taken prisoner. His burns were severe enough that he was treated at a German hospital.
Now we know the plane was still over Holland when it blew up and close enough to the coast for the wreckage to have been found by the Dutch Coast Guard so close to the safety of the English Channel.
The only questions that I still have are:
1.Was Coburn new to the operations of a combat bomb group, or was he from some crew that had flown several missions? [Updated above, Sept 2012]
2.Where was the hospital that provided medical care for Hudson?
3.Was Hudson a prisoner until the end of the war or did the area where he was held prisoner surrender before VE Day on May 7, 1945?
It has been almost 61 years since the crew went down. I think that the story is almost complete thanks to the radio report from St. Dizier, and information from Mrs. Koehn, Bob Shea, Robert Soesbe, and the research of Darin Scorza.

Fighting with My Family Review
*Caution: review contains spoilers*
The world of professional wrestling is one of peaks and plateaus. Depending on the quality of the in-ring action, promos and backstage segments, pro-wrestling is either monumentally entertaining, or so bad it’s cringeworthy. Middle ground is almost nonexistent.
This extreme contrast has seemingly found its way into movies based on professional wrestling. You either have the serious side of things which depict the hard lives professional wrestlers live (usually through documentaries), or the completely moronic comedies that insult the intelligence of their audience, seemingly because they assume wrestling fans are stupid (like Ready to Rumble).
Fighting with My Family is a pleasant surprise then, pulling off a feat which has previously seemed impossible: delivering an entertaining and heartfelt movie rooted in the world of professional wrestling. A family-based comedy/drama revolving around real life professional wrestler Paige (real name Saraya Bevis), and her journey to the WWE, which eventually lead to her to changing the company’s perception of women’s wrestling for the better.
Taking place in the early 2010s, Fighting with My Family follows Saraya/Paige (Florence Pugh) and her family of wrestlers: older brother Zak “Zodiac” (Jack Lowden), father Patrick “Rowdy Ricky Knight” (Nick Frost) and mother Julia “Sweet Saraya” (Lena Headey). You probably noticed that Paige’s real name is her mother’s ring-name. That’s how dedicated the family is to the sport.
Patrick and Julia own a small-town wrestling promotion, and have trained Zak and Saraya from an early age to follow in the family tradition as professional wrestlers, with Paige having had her first match at the age of thirteen. Both Paige and Zak have sent audition tapes to the WWE in hopes of making it big in the industry, and eventually NXT (WWE’s developmental brand) stops by their hometown looking for tryouts. Paige and Zak’s coach in NXT training is Hutch Morgan (Vince Vaughn), whose cold disposition emphasizes the rough road the siblings have ahead of them. And when Paige is eventually selected to move on to the NXT brand while Zak is denied, it creates a riff in the sibling’s relationship.
What caught me by surprise about Fighting with My Family is that it’s a genuinely good and entertaining – even inspiring – biopic whether you’re a wrestling fan (such as myself) or not. The film was written and directed by Stephen Merchant (best known as co-creator of The Office, but best known to me as the voice of Wheatley in Portal 2), and executive produced by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (who has a recurring role as himself in the film). Merchant’s writing and directing, in addition to the performances by the actors (especially Pugh, Lowden and Frost) help give the film a strong emotional weight, as well as a strong sense of humor (though not all of the jokes stick the landing).
Fighting with My Family is ultimately an underdog/rags-to-riches story, but one that feels pretty unique for two key reasons: one is the simple fact that it treats the world of professional wrestling as a serious and relatable backdrop for its story. Under less capable hands, the film may have aimed lower, given the popular misconceptions of the pro wrestling industry (news flash Hollywood, we all know it’s a show. That why we like it).
The other reason is its heroine. The pale-skinned, raven-haired Paige was as different as can be from the typical bleached blonde, spray-tanned, plastic-bodied “WWE Diva” that had been present in the company even before WWE’s wildly popular (but actually kind of crappy) Attitude Era sent things into overdrive. Though the film may suffer a tad from a mostly overly flattering portrayal of the WWE, it displays enough humility from the company to admit to its rampantly sexist past (a little eye candy and sex appeal is fine. But blatant sexual objectification is a problem, one which WWE indulged in for far too long). It’s pointed out in the film that every other female competitor training alongside Paige was either a model or a cheerleader hired for their looks, as opposed to a life-long wrestler like Paige.
The biopic chronicles Paige’s time in NXT and culminates with her debut on WWE’s main roster in 2014, in which she defeated AJ Lee to claim the WWE Divas Championship (at the time the company’s token attempt at a women’s title) to become the youngest women’s champion in company history. By ending the story when it does, the film ensures a happy, inspirational ending.
Though the sad truth is that Paige’s in-ring career has a more tragic ending. Despite being the primary centerpiece for WWE’s progressive evolution of its women’s division (though AJ Lee deserves some of the credit as well, she wasn’t the in-ring competitor Paige was), Paige barely got to see the fruits of her labor firsthand. Once she actually received some worthy competition on the roster with the likes of Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, Asuka, Bayley and Becky Lynch – as well as WWE dropping the “Divas” term entirely and introducing more serious women’s championships – a multitude of injuries saw Paige miss one opportunity after another, and shortly after a comeback in late 2017, forced her into an early retirement (she still makes various on-screen roles for the company, but can no longer compete in the ring). But I suppose it’s nice to see a wrestling movie have a happy ending for once.
As a wrestling nerd, I do have to nitpick some of the historical revisions the film makes, particularly in regards to NXT. In the film, NXT is presented as little more than a gym where wrestlers train for their WWE debut. While it’s true NXT serves as the company’s “developmental” brand, it is a fully-functioning brand in its own right, complete with championships and pay-per view events.
I only bring this up because the film skips over an important detail in Paige’s career as a consequence of this. Joining NXT in its early years, Paige was the inaugural NXT Women’s Champion, a title she held at the same time she won the WWE Divas Championship. I’m guessing the film was aiming to make the Divas Championship victory feel more important by removing a previous title victory. But considering Paige’s NXT Women’s Championship win was pretty much the first step in her changing women’s wrestling in WWE, it seems like a bizarre omission in the story.
Fighting with My Family is a pleasant surprise, a movie about professional wrestling that proves to be both entertaining and inspirational. Fans of professional wrestling will definitely enjoy it. And for a nice change, it’s a wrestling movie that you can enjoy even with no knowledge of the sport whatsoever. It may even get non-fans to tune into a professional wrestling show to see what all the fuss is about. I only hope that, should they tune in, it’s during one of its ‘peak’ moments…

Red Metal says:
I don’t know much about wrestling having not grown up with it, but I really enjoyed this film. I like how Paige’s father makes the point that while it is fixed, wrestling still requires a lot of hard work to pull off – as evidenced by the extreme training potentials have to do just to be eligible. There’s a distinction between fake and fixed, after all.
themancalledscott says:
Yeah, to pro wrestlers, ‘Fake’ is like the F-word. They will adamantly (and rightfully) refer to it as fixed or scripted. Because while it is all a show, they really do take big risks and often face serious injury. They have so many little cues they’re supposed to follow at any time (as the movie pointed out, simply looking at someone says which way they’re going to strike and how to take a move safely). Glad you enjoyed the movie.

MEET THE WOMEN
ROCK RESOURCES
The Rhythm is Gonna Get Ya
by Eliza Alys Young
One thing about Dominicans that endears me is their innate musical nature. They have an almost involuntary response to music — they simply must dance. But the musical culture is not contained merely within the Dominican Republic, it is indicative of the island as a whole – the island of Hispaniola – in which both the Dominican Republic and Haiti call their home. In fact, one could question which culture is more musical, Haitian or Dominican, much like one could wonder which came first, the chicken or the egg.
I love to dance too, always have, and I owe my first dance edification to this same island of Hispaniola. At the age of 9 during one of my visits to Haiti with my father, I learned to dance Merengue. I was in a big dance hall with my father and his friends. We were sitting up on the second floor balcony looking down upon a large dance floor below where many couples danced away. I remember the big, colorful skirts of the girls as they swayed to the up tempo music. The men wore straight slacks and short sleeve dress shirts. Some had white hats with a band on them. The music never stopped and the dancers never stopped dancing.
We had been at the club for hours. It was late. My father and his friends had been drinking, smoking, and ogling the girls. There were no other kids there. I was bored and all the fun was happening down below. I had never danced before but the temptation was irresistible and I’ve never been good at resisting temptation.

The adults weren’t paying any attention to me so I slipped downstairs by myself and onto the dance floor. I had a pretty pink dress with yellow flowers, gathered in the bust with a full skirt and spaghetti straps. I went out to dance by myself, the only kid on the dance floor, and after watching the couples for a while, taught myself to dance Merengue – or at least a close approximation of it. No one paid me any mind. They let me go and I had a blast.
It felt like I danced for hours. Back then, I had a significant limp when I walked (one leg was nearly 5 inches shorter than the other), but on the dance floor it felt like I flew. I was hooked.
Ever since then, I have loved to dance and Merengue, a musical style popular in both Haiti and the Dominican Republic, is a sentimental favorite. So it is no wonder that years later in my adulthood, when visiting the Dominican Republic, hearing Merengue triggered a visceral response, ending in me moving there.
Back in Santo Domingo after nearly 8 months, the music became my soundtrack, always on, always a part of life. But what I love the most is how the music moves its listeners into dance, no matter when, where or what they are doing.
The music: Merengue, Bachata, Salsa, Reggaeton or even just a couple of instruments played on the corner, all have same effect — the feet move in a slight shuffle, the hips sway and the hands tap.
When we were at a resort for our mini honeymoon, they had a local band, traditional style from the campo (country), which played music. One waiter was particularly moved by the music and was unable to contain himself. He cleared the tables with a sway in his hips, sometimes adding a spin. He clapped his hands when they were empty and burst out in enthusiastic hoots, all the while with a broad smile on his face. He was a middle aged man with the classic face of someone who works hard and enjoys the simple things in life. Music was one of them.
By contrast, our “cobrador” on the bus (the man who collects the money) looked about 19. He had the style popular with the urban hip hop crowd in the US — baggy jeans and backwards baseball cap — but when the driver put Salsa on, he slapped his hands against the side of the bus, shuffled his feet and sang along, just like the waiter had. Different walks of life, though sharing an almost reflexive response to music.
There are a lot of things that cause strife on this small island between the two cultures that call it home. Haitians and Dominicans are different in many ways but they share the love of music and the irrepressible urge to move to the beat. Music and dance happens spontaneously for short bursts and long stretches, in discos and street corners, in fancy dress and work clothes.
On this island which has so much poverty, corruption, inflation, and complication, music and dance are free to enjoy. By enjoying and even indulging in music, Dominicans and Haitians keep their spirits up as they move through their day. I love that. We Americans love our quiet, our silence and our space. There is none of that here. One is thrust into the rhythm and the best thing is to relax and let the music flow through you.

Island Girl Since:
Originally Hails From:
Eliza discovered she was an island girl at the tender age of 9 when she first visited Haiti, on the island of Hispaniola, with her father. From the first blast of the brilliant Caribbean sun to the sway of the dancers’ hips to Merengue music, she was hooked. Years later, Eliza had an opportunity to teach a class on the other half of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic, and her island girl spark was rekindled. Within a year she sold her home and moved to the capital, Santo Domingo. Living and working in the D.R. running a creative service company has taught her valuable new skills such as how to work al paso (slowly) and remain tranquila (relaxed). It is said that when a gringa lives in the Dominican Republic long enough she becomes aplatanada, which means she has eaten enough plantains to be considered Dominicana. Eliza has not only eaten her share of plantains, but she’s cooked them herself too! Currently she listens to Latin music all day long and continues to consume plantains in Dominicana quantities. She also blogs at Amor y Sabor.

'Like The Terminal': Aussies stranded in the US after plane breaks down
11:54am Nov 27, 2020
A group of Australians say they have been left stranded at a US airport after their plane broke down and they were unable to get a new flight because of coronavirus rules.
Several passengers told nine.com.au they had to get off the United Airlines plane set to depart San Francisco for Sydney last night, after the aircraft suffered a mechanical fault.
The passengers said they were told they were unable to transfer to the next available flight.
LIVE UPDATES: Victoria's 28-day virus milestone

The group had already been counted under Australia's strict 'flight caps' rule, which limits the numbers of people returning home.
They were then told they were not allowed on the next scheduled United flight.
Only 6290 people a week are allowed to fly into Australia, where they will then quarantine for two weeks, which costs around $3000 for an individual and $5000 for a family.
Ben Kalman, 34, a passenger on the plane, was told he had to pay more than $30,000 for business class tickets for him and his partner - or wait until next year to get an economy flight.
He told nine.com.au he has given up his home and tech job in San Francisco, where he has lived and worked for eight years, to move back to Sydney with his American girlfriend to be closer to family.
Mr Kalman said the airline told the passengers the Australian Government said were are not allowed to get the next flight.
How this morning, United Airlines said permission has been given for the stranded passengers to fly home today or tomorrow.
"Last night, United flight 863 from San Francisco to Sydney was cancelled due to a mechanical issue," a spokeswoman told nine.com.au.
"We received approval from the relevant government authorities to make an exemption to Australia's capacity restrictions.
"We are contacting the customers to notify them and assist in scheduling their journey home."

Mr Kalman said he was "exasperated and frustrated" by the ordeal.
"We sat on the runway for two hours, three hours, until 2am," he said.
"There was a mechanical failure. They took everyone off.
"They said they contacted the Australian Government to try to get 30 people special permission to be on the next United Flight.
"Eventually we heard the government had said no, they wouldn't give us special permission.
"There were a lot of angry people.
"I'm still processing how silly the situation is. I'm exasperated and frustrated."
Another Australian on the flight, Celia Mortlock, appealed on social media for help this morning.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison told a senate inquiry the return of Australians stranded overseas during the pandemic is a Federal Government priority but significant hurdles remain.
Up to 37,000 Australians stranded overseas because of the coronavirus pandemic are anxiously awaiting news about whether they'll be able to make it home in time for Christmas.
Mr Morrison admitted this may not be possible and said quarantine hotel capacity managed by state governments was proving a challenge.
Deputy Labor Leader Kristina Keneally, who has been campaigning to get more Aussies home, shared posts online about the flight.
"Hey, @ScottMorrisonMP @MarisePayne @M_McCormackMP all that nonsense from your departments yesterday regarding helping #strandedAussies?" she wrote.
"This failure appears to be happening live, right now, for 30 Aussies in San Francisco."
DFAT has been contacted for comment.

Torch saves South Australian mother on 'terrifying' night dive
A South Australian mother-of-two said the thought of her boys kept her alive after a strong current dragged her out to sea during a "terrifying" night dive.
Oksana Samkova was with a group of six on her first ever night scuba dive at Port Noarlunga Jetty on Monday night.
The 45-year-old and her group faced strong winds and giant swells as they descended into the dark waters.

"I was bobbing up and down and the surf was just taking me up again and I was trying to get down and it was taking me up again," Ms Samkova told 9News.
It was then that a strong rip pulled Ms Samkova away from her group and further into the abyss.
As she fought to stay afloat, Ms Samkova started to fatigue as the current got the better of her.
"I had to calm myself down and stop fighting the current because I was getting exhausted, I was getting so tired, I'm thinking 'I just can't go on anymore,'" she said.
The mother spent three agonising hours alone in the dark as search crews desperately tried to find her.
"It was scary because I wanted to see my children, I wanted to be alive for my children as well so that was quite emotional," she said.
Oksana Samkova says the experience was terrifying when she was pulled out to sea during her first night dive. (9News)

Luckily Ms Samkova had a torch with her which, although running low on battery, was how she eventually alerted search crews of her whereabouts.
"I was waving this torch frantically for three hours literally and praying for the torch not too die, it was scary, it was really scary," she said.
"Let's say the most terrifying experience of my life, I would say."
Ms Samkova was rushed to hospital where she spent two nights with water in her lungs.
She says although the experience was terrifying, she does eventually want to go back in the water again, but the conditions will need to be better and a night dive won't be on the cards for a while.
"I'm so grateful I'm alive and I'm so happy for everyone involved in my rescue, it's huge gratitude," she said.

Arseniy Neskhodimov wins Wellcome Photography Prize 2020
Moscow based photographer wins £15,000, plus an additional £1,250 for being the winner of the Mental Health series category, in prize designed to help combat health taboos.
Arseniy Neskhodimov has been announced as the overall winner of the Wellcome Photography Prize 2020, with his series of five images entitled Prozac. He is will receive £15,000, plus an additional £1,250 for being the winner of the Mental Health series category.
Returning for its second year, the prize helps combat health taboos, bringing complex health issues to life and showing how health affects society. The 2020 prize has a particular focus on mental health, an issue that has become even more urgent due to COVID-19, with the prize aiming to challenge preconceptions and stereotypes. It aims to provide a more authentic look at peoples’ experiences of mental health.
Moscow based photographer Neskhodimov was born in Samarkand, Uzbekistan and his work Prozac explores his experience with depression, which he has been prone to since the age of 20. His work often touches on issues of disillusionment and the sense of alienation felt by the generation born in early 1980s. This micro-generation, sometimes referred to as Xennials, are described as having had an analogue childhood followed by a digital adulthood.
Neskhodimov comments: “My self-portrait stories are a kind of therapy that help me fight off the attacks of despair and loss of meaning, especially in this difficult pandemic time. I’ve been trapped at home out of a job for three months and the only thing that brings some sense into my life is to keep taking pictures.”
His work has been exhibited internationally and he has been recognised by numerous awards, including this year’s Aesthetica Art Prize and the Annual Photo Awards.
Neskhodimov was selected by a panel of judges from across photography, medicine, media and science.
Miranda Wolpert, Head of Mental Health Priority Area at Wellcome, said: “This incredibly powerful series highlights the complexity of both emotions and coping mechanisms underpinning each person’s journey with their mental health. Neskhodimov’s visually arresting series manages to convey both the ongoing pain he experiences and the strategies to cope – including humour and creativity. More nuanced representations of individual’s experience of mental ill-health and their varied ways of coping help start conversations about what can help and hold back different individuals.
“Only by considering the interplay between individual context and proffered solutions can scientists discover the next generation of treatments and approaches that will enable fewer people to be held back in life by mental health problems.”
In addition, the judges also chose winners from four other categories from a shortlist of 44 photos taken by 25 professional, amateur and student photographers from 13 countries.
The other category winners, who each receive £1,250, are: Cards by Marijn Fidder, from Gieten, the Netherlands, has won the Social Perspectives category. The Dutch photographer’s image features 11-year old Sanne, who has a brain tumour, at home in her bedroom.
Nigeria based Jenevieve Aken has won the Hidden Worlds category for Monankim, a picture of a teenage girl from the Bakor community in a healing room following her circumcision. Meanwhile, South Sudan based Julia Gunther and Sophia Mohammed, Light for the World, have won the Medicine in Focus category for Hadia. The work shows community rehabilitation expert Mohammed demonstrating a treatment to the mother of fourmonth-old Hadia, who was born with spina bifida, hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain) and club foot.
Finally, Manchester based Benji Reid has won the Mental Health – single image category for Holding on to Daddy. The British Choreo-Photolist’s photograph is a ‘love note’ to his daughter. It shows him as a ‘broken astronaut’ tethered to her, and the simple, comforting fact of her presence keeps him in the real world.

Content Authority: Potential Measures of Authoritative Content - Whiteboard Friday
By James - April 24, 2020
Posted by rjonesx.
When it boils down to it, every idea in SEO can be understood as a set of measurements we use to rank one page over another. And that means that when it comes to measuring a concept like the authoritativeness of your content, there are almost certainly factors that you can analyze and tweak to improve it.
But if Google were to use a measure of content authority, what might go into it? Against what yardstick should SEOs be measuring their content's E-A-T? In this episode of Whiteboard Friday, Russ Jones walks us through a thought experiment as to what exactly might constitute a "content authority" score and how you can begin to understand your content's expertise like Google.
Click on the whiteboard image above to open a high-resolution version in a new tab!
Hey, folks, this is Russ Jones here with another Whiteboard Friday, and today we're going to have fun. Well, at least fun for me, because this is completely speculative. We're going to be talking about this concept of content authority and just some ideas around ways in which we might be able to measure it.
Maybe Google uses these ways to measure it, maybe not. But at the same time, hopefully what we'll be able to do is come up with a better concept of metrics we can use to get at content authority.
Now, we know there's a lot of controversy around this. Google has said quite clearly that expertise, authority, and trustworthiness are very important parts of their Quality Rater Guidelines, but the information has been pretty flimsy on exactly what part of the algorithm helps determine exactly this type of content.
We do know that they aren't using the quality rater data to train the algorithm, but they are using it to reject algorithm changes that don't actually meet these standards.
How do we measure the authoritativeness of content?
So how can we go about measuring content authority? Ultimately, any kind of idea that we talk about in search engine optimization has to boil down in some way, shape, or form to a set of measurements that are being made and in somehow shape or form being used to rank one page over another.
Now sometimes it makes sense just to kind of feel it, like if you're writing for humans, be a human. But authoritative content is a little bit more difficult than that. It's a little harder to just off the top of your head know that this content is authoritative and this isn't. In fact, the Quality Rater Guidelines are really clear in some of the examples of what would be considered really highly authoritative content, like, for example, in the News section they mention that it's written by a Pulitzer Prize winning author.
Well, I don't know how many of you have Pulitzer Prize winning authors on your staff or whose clients have Pulitzer Prize winning authors. So I don't exactly see how that's particularly helpful to individuals like ourselves who are trying to produce authoritative content from a position of not being an award-winning writer.
So today I want to just go through a whole bunch of ideas, that have been running through my head with the help of people from the community who've given me some ideas and bounced things off, that we might be able to use to do a better job of understanding authoritative content. All right.
1. ALBERT
So these are what I would consider some of the potential measures of authoritative content. The first one, and this is just going to open up a whole rat's nest I'm sure, but okay, ALBERT. We've talked about the use of BERT for understanding language by Google. Well, ALBERT, which stands for "a lighter BERT," is a similar model used by Google, and it's actually been trained in specific circumstances for the goal of answering questions.
Now that might not seem like a particularly big deal. We've been doing question answering for a whole long time. Featured snippets are exactly that. But ALBERT has jumped on the scene in such a dominant fashion as to have eclipsed anything we've really seen in this kind of NLP problem.
So if you were to go to the SQuAD dataset competition, which is Stanford's Question Answering competition, where they've got these giant set of questions and giant set of documents and then they had humans go in and find the answers in the documents and say which documents don't have answers and which do, and then all sorts of different organizations have produced models to try and automatically find the answers.
Well, this competition has just been going back and forth and back and forth for a really long time between a bunch of heavy hitters, like Google, Baidu, multiple Microsoft teams. We're talking the smartest people in the world, the Allen Institute, all fighting back and forth.
Well, right now, ALBERT or variations thereof have the top 5 positions and 9 of the top 10 positions, and all of them perform better than humans. That is dominance. So we've got right here this incredible technology for answering questions.
Well, what does this have to do with content authority? Why in the world would this matter? Well, if you think about a document, any kind of piece of content that we produce, the intention is that we're going to be answering the questions that our customers want answered. So any topic we start with, let's say the topic we started with was data science, well, there are probably a lot of questions people want to know about that topic.
They might want to know: What is a data scientist? How much money do they make? What kind of things do you need to know to be a data scientist? Well, this is where something like ALBERT could come in and be extremely valuable for measuring the authoritativeness of the content. You see, what if one of the measures of the authoritative content is how well that content answers all of the related questions to the topic?
So you could imagine Google looking at all of the pages that rank for data science, and they know the top 10 questions that are asked about it, and then seeing which piece of content answers those 10 questions best. If they were able to do that, that would be a pretty awesome metric for determining how thorough and how significant and valuable and useful and authoritative that content is.
So I think this one, the ALBERT algorithm really has a lot of potential. But let's move on from that. There are all sorts of other things that might have to do with content authority.
2. Information density
One that I really like is this idea of information density. So a lot of times when we're writing content, especially when we're not familiar with the topic, we end up writing a lot of fluff.
We kind of are just putting words in there to meet the word length that is expected by the contract, even though we know deep down that the number of words on the page really doesn't determine whether or not it's going to rank. So one of the ways that you can get at whether a piece of content is actually valuable or not or at least is providing important information is using natural language programs to extract information.
ReVerb + OpenIE
Well, the probably most popular NLP open source or at least openly available technology started as a project called ReVerb and now has merged into the Open IE project. But essentially, you can give it a piece of content, and it will extract out all of the factual claims made by that content.
So if I gave it a paragraph that said tennis is a sport that's played with a racket and a ball and today I'm having a lot of fun, something of that sort, it would be able to identify the factual claim, what tennis is, that it's a sport played with a racket and a ball.
But it would ignore the claim that I'm having a lot of fun today, because that's not really a piece of information, a factual claim that we're making. So the concept of information density would be the number of facts that can be extracted from a document versus the total number of words. All right.
If we had that measurement, then we could pretty easily sift through content that is just written for length versus content that is really information rich. Just imagine a Wikipedia article, how dense the information is in there relative to the type of content that most of us produce. So what are some other things?
3. Content style
Let's talk about content style.
This would be a really easy metric. We could talk about the use of in-line citations, which Wikipedia does, in which after stating a fact they then link to the bottom of the page where it shows you the citation, just like you would do if you were writing a paper in college or a thesis, something that would be authoritative. Or the use of fact lists or tables of contents, like Wikipedia does, or using datelines accurately or AP style formatting.
These are all really simple metrics that, if you think about it, the types of sites that are more trustworthy more often use. If that's the case, then they might be hints to Google that the content that you're producing is authoritative. So those aren't the only easy ones that we could look at.
4. Writing quality
There are a lot of other ones that are pretty straightforward, like dealing with writing quality.
How easy is it to make sure you are using correct spelling and correct grammar? But have you ever looked at the reading level? Has it ever occurred to you to make sure that the content that you're writing isn't written at a level so difficult that no one can understand it, or is written at a level so low as to be certainly not thorough and not authoritative? If your content is written at a third-grade level and the page is about some health issue, I imagine Google could use that metric pretty quickly to exclude your site.
There are also things like sentence length, which deals with readability, the uniqueness of the content, and also the word usage. This is a pretty straightforward one. Imagine that once again we're looking at data science, and Google looks at the words you use on your page. Then maybe instead of looking at all sites that mention data science, Google only looks at edu sites or Google only looks at published papers and then compares the language usage there.
That would be a pretty easy way for Google to identify a piece of content that's meant for consumers that is authoritative versus one that's meant for consumers and isn't.
5. Media styles
Another thing we can look at is media styles. This is something that is a little bit more difficult to understand how Google might actually be able to take advantage of.
But at the same time, I think that these are measurable and easy for search engine optimizers, like ourselves, to use.
Annotated graphs
One would be annotated graphs. I think we should move away from graph images and move more towards using open source graphing libraries. That way the actual factual information, the numbers can be provided to Google in the source code.
Unique imagery is obviously something that we would care about. In fact, it's actually listed in the Quality Rater Guidelines.
Then finally, accessibility matters. I know that accessibility doesn't make content authoritative, but it does say something about the degree to which a person has cared about the details of the site and of the page. There's a really famous story about, and I can't remember what the band's name was, but they wrote into their contracts that for every concert they needed to have a bowl of M&Ms, with all of the brown M&Ms removed, waiting for them in the room.
Now it wasn't because they had a problem with the brown M&Ms or they really liked M&Ms or anything of that sort. It was just to make sure that they read the contract. Accessibility is kind of one of those things of where they can tell if you sweat the details or not.
6. Clickbait titles, author quality, and Google Scholar
Now finally, there are a couple of others that I think are interesting and really have to be talked about. The first is clickbait titles.
Clickbait titles
This is explicitly identified as something that Google looks at or at least the quality raters look at in order to determine that content is not authoritative. Make your titles say what they mean, not try to exaggerate to get a click.
Author quality
Another thing they say specifically is do you mention your author qualifications. Sure, you don't have a Pulitzer Prize writer, but your writer has some sort of qualifications, at least hopefully, and those qualifications are going to be important for Google in assessing whether or not the author actually knows what they're talking about.
Another thing that I think we really ought to start looking at is Google Scholar. How much money do you think Google makes off of Google Scholar? Probably not very much. What's the point of having a giant database of academic information when you don't run ads on any of the pages? Well, maybe that academic information can be mined in a way so that they can judge the content that is made for consumers as to whether or not it is in line with, whether we're talking about facts or language or authoritativeness, with what academia is saying about that same topic.
Now, course, all of these ideas are just ideas. We've got a giant question mark sitting out there about exactly how Google gets at content authority. That doesn't mean we should ignore it. So hopefully these ideas will help you come up with some ideas to improve your own content, and maybe you could give me some more ideas in the comment section.
That would be great and we could talk more about how those might be measured. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks again.

Why Local Businesses Will Need Websites More than Ever in 2019

Posted by MiriamEllis 64% of 1,411 surveyed local business marketers agree that Google is becoming the new “homepage” for local businesses. Via Moz State of Local SEO Industry Report ...but please don’t come away with the wrong storyline from this statistic. As local brands and their marketers watch Google play Trojan horse, shifting from top benefactor to top competitor by replacing former “free” publicity with paid packs, Local Service Ads, zero-click SERPs, and related structures, it’s no surprise to see forum members asking, “Do I even need a website anymore?” Our answer to this question is,“Yes, you’ve never needed a website more than you will in 2019.” In this post, we’ll examine: Why it looks like local businesses don’t need websites Statistical proofs of why local businesses need websites now more than ever The current status of local business websites and most-needed improvements How Google stopped bearing so many gifts Within recent memory, a Google query with l
The Long-Term Link Acquisition Value of Content Marketing
By James - August 29, 2018
Posted by KristinTynski Recently, new internal analysis of our work here at Fractl has yielded a fascinating finding: Content marketing that generates mainstream press is likely 2X as effective as originally thought. Additionally, the long-term ROI is potentially many times higher than previously reported. I’ll caveat that by saying this applies only to content that can generate mainstream press attention. At Fractl, this is our primary focus as a content marketing agency. Our team, our process, and our research are all structured around figuring out ways to maximize the newsworthiness and promotional success of the content we create on behalf of our clients. Though data-driven content marketing paired with digital PR is on the rise, there is still a general lack of understanding around the long-term value of any individual content execution. In this exploration, we sought to answer the question: What link value does a successful campaign drive over the long term? What we found

18th SOS, Nakhon Phanom and Da Nang, 1972-73
I was born and raised in Chicago, IL and graduated from Fenger High School in 1970. While in high school, I participated in ROTC and became interested in becoming a warrant officer. I entered the Air Force in September 1970, completed weapons mechanics school, and headed to England AFB, LA to maintain A-37 mini-guns. I volunteered for gunships. I reported to the 18th SOS at NKP in April 1971 and flew missions from NKP and during August and October from Bien Hoa, before being transferred to Da Nang in November 1972. In February 1973, the Air Force was transferring the AC-119K to the Vietnamese Air Force. I was on the second to last military aircraft to land at Da Nang before the war ended in January 1973. Because I was one of the last to leave Da Nang, paper work for my “End of Tour” Distinguished Flying Cross was never processed and was lost. Thus, I never received the DFC.
From gunships, I was assigned to B-52s in Michigan, but ended up loading bombs in Guam. I earned the Missileman Badge working on B52D and H models. I left active duty in February 1974, entered college and joined the Air National Guard. I graduated from Chicago State University and, in 1979, was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army Guard, and retired a Major in January, 2000 after a variety of interesting assignments. In the Army, I served as a Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Warfare Specialist and Civil Affairs Officer. I was one of the first Army Reservists called to serve in Bosnia as a Civil Affairs Officer in 1995. I also served in Germany, Croatia, and Latvia during my stay in the Army.
One of my most exciting AC-119 missions occurred in October 1972 while I was scanning for AAA. A SAM-7 was fired at us. I yelled “SAM! SAM!” and fired my Very pistol (flare gun) and the pilot broke hard in the direction of the SAM. I suddenly found myself staring straight down at the ground. I had never seen an AC-119K bank as fast or as far. I heard the explosion and thought we were hit, but the copilot reported the SAM had locked onto my flare. A similarly hair-raising incident occurred one night on the trail when basketball-sized fireballs of AAA passed extremely close to the aircraft.
There are several things that always come to mind when I think about my time as a gunner in the AC-119K. The first concerns my parachute. Shortly after I began flying, I inspected my parachute and discovered a tag that read “CONDEMNED.” When I reported it to the equipment specialist, he looked at the tag and told me I was lucky because I had one of the newer chutes. I also remember mini-guns were difficult to maintain because the Air Force had few spare parts and they were hard to get. We were forced to swap parts from one gun to another and, on occasion, I went to downtown Da Nang to a local merchant who always had parts. Mostly, I remember the people I met. I still keep in touch with several of them.

PATRICK HENRY... "GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH"
September 1, 2018 | View PDF
The name of Patrick Henry comes to mind when we think of the American Revolutionary period. Every American over 50 has heard of his memorable words, "Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?" Recent generations in government schools have been deprived of true history and with that, we have lost much of the Liberty for which Patrick Henry gave his life.
There is no doubt that Patrick Henry was the most distinguished orator of the colonial South. He was born in Studley, Virginia, in 1736. He married at age 18, and tried several occupations before deciding on Law, where he practiced at Hanover. He was one of the first leaders to view the inevitable necessity of armed resistance to Great Britain. He was governor of his state for three terms, but turned down several offers by George Washington.
“Here he seized the occasion to introduce the first resolution relative to the British imposition of stamp duties and thus initiated the American Revolution. He was one of the first to see the inevitable necessity of armed resistance to Great Britain, and to advocate war preparations. He was successively governor of his state for three years, and member of the House of Burgesses. He declined the offer of Washington to appointments as Secretary of State and of Chief Justice of the United States, but would have acceded to Washington's appeal to reenter the State Legislature had not death, which came to him June 8, 1799, put an end to his activities."
Quoted from the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution.
Speaking to the Convention of Delegates at the First Continental Congress at Philadelphia, in 1775, he realized that destiny hung in the balance of the moment.
St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia
MR. PRESIDENT: No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this
country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves, and the House? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these war-like preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask, gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies?
No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing.
We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free - if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending - if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!
They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable - and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace - but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Let us close with a speech Patrick Henry made at St. John's Church in Richmond, on March 23rd, 1775. Present were many, including Washington and Jefferson, and many members of the Second Virginia Convention. In concluding his speech, we find the famous words:
"An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us... There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone, it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbit it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death."

Unpacking the Huawei Case: U.S., China and the Need for Digital Non-Alignment
As the digital era evolves, the recent blacklisting of Huawei by the US may turn out to be an event of historic significance.
Parminder Jeet Singh
Illustration By : Constanza Figueroa (CC:BY 4.0)
Over the last decade or so, a few US based Internet companies went beyond capturing our information and communication systems to begin dominating physical sectors such as retailing and transportation, and advancing into others like health and education. Just as mechanization left no process or sector untouched during the industrial revolution, with the digital economy, data based digital intelligence is radically reconfiguring all or most areas and sectors of economic activity.
Underpinned by a global Internet, the digital economy, with its largely border-less data flows, was born as one single digital space. While data based digital intelligence is its key driver, it builds upon many digital layers- from physical networks, computing chips and user devices, to software and applications. US companies have commanded almost all of these layers, whereby the US has been shaping up as the single centre around which the global digital economy is arranged. But then came along China to spoil US’s party!
China has emerged as a global force in the digital domain. What started as political panic over the disruptive potential of the internet, increasingly turned into thoughtful industrial policies aimed at promoting China’s domestic digital industry. A combination of varied factors - the great firewall of China, over a billion people unified by a single non-English language, China’s newly formed rich and entrepreneurial middle-class emerging from a very successful manufacturing revolution, close government support etc – resulted in the seemingly sudden emergence of huge Chinese digital companies in almost every sector. After successfully servicing the big Chinese market, they are well on their way towards global conquests. China’s manufacturing genius was already enabling it to capture the device and telco equipment market. Now, China’s data based digital platform companies are foraying into Asian markets and beyond, to challenge American digital domination.
With Amazon competing against Alibaba, and Uber with Didi, an interesting scene evolved. US digital monopolies were facing some competition, which was generally good. for the global market. US and Chinese digital companies competed as ferociously with their compatriot companies as they did with others. Both US and Chinese markets, as well as supply chains, were important for companies from either country. This also led to the formation of cross country digital alliances and networks, for instance Baidu has teamed up with Ford for its transportation application.
An emerging digital geo-split
The digital, however, is not just an ordinary sector. Rather, it is an economy and society wide paradigm. Competition over its control is simply too political and strategic for any kind of digital camaraderie across the two global superpowers to last. Global leadership in economic terms has been contentious enough, but implicated in the digital economy are also long-term strategic, security and even military interests.
Behind the scenes, the governments of the two digital superpowers are playing a kind of geopolitical chess. Companies like Google and Microsoft have been known to lend a hand to US’s geopolitical interests. Justifying its work with the US military, Amazon’s chief Jeff Bezos recently said that the US is a great country and it needed to be defended. Similarly, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai has assured that Google is committed to the US military, and not China’s. China’s state-driven capitalism and its global aspirations are no secret.
In 2017, when Google’s AI beat the world champion of Go- a Chinese game significantly more complex than chess, China’s public consciousness was deeply impacted. A few months later China’s AI strategy was released, declaring the country's intentions to gain AI supremacy by 2030. This may have appeared to be a rather extra-ordinary claim. Yet, soon enough, even the western press was full of China’s AI exploits and its AI race with the US.
As reported by Wired magazine, not only are there more AI research papers coming out of China as compared to the US, but even the quality of the former is projected to match that of the latter by 2020. This is an outstanding achievement for a country that had little world-class software or digital competency to speak of 15 years ago, and jokes about the quality of Chinese manufactured products are just only getting stale. Huawei’s telecom equipment today is not only cheaper, it holds more 5G patents than any other company, and is generally considered the world leader in 5G.If China dominates the telecommunications network industry, a leaked US National Security Council document says, it "will win politically, economically, and militarily."
Huawei’s blacklisting by the US hit the company’s two soft spots, generally shared by China’s digital value chains. Google will be withdrawing its android mobile operating system and allied services, while the UK based ARM, whose chips power most mobiles, is discontinuing delivery of its chips to Huawei.
The latter has put up a brave face. Huawei is already developing its own mobile operating software. It also claims that it has enough inventory of chips to last a long time. China noted its vulnerability regarding the chips part of its digital value chain a few years ago, and has been investing billions of public and private dollars into developing domestic capabilities. It cannot be long before China plugs these gaps in its end-to-end command over digital value chains. The Huawei incident will simply hasten the process, and provide China useful public justification for investing in developing world-class domestic capabilities, and to the US, in every single digital aspect.
Alibaba’s cloud computing services are already closing in to the world leader Amazon, while Baidu’s AI engines compete with the best from Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Facebook. Many say that the ferment and pace of digital innovation in China today quite exceeds that of the western world.
Resisting China’s emerging digital power, the Huawei’s case is just the latest in a long series of similar measures by the US. For instance, last year, it disallowed Alibaba from buying US’s MoneyGram, and embargoed US supplies for the Chinese mobile company ZTE. But this new incident may well represent an important point of inflection in global digital relationships.
Vertical integration in the digital space
The world of software and internet was built over different companies making chips, hardware, networks, software and applications. Today, Google, Amazon and Facebook are making their own chips, which is a telling story. Not just geopolitical rivals, even major digital corporations greatly fear dependence upon another company over critical links in the digital value chain. This reveals how high the digital stakes are, and how cut-throat the competition for digital supremacy can be.
A huge outcry has arisen lately in the west, including the US, for reining in the power of digital mega-corporations, possible also by breaking them up. The Chinese threat has come handy for the targeted corporations, who are claiming that any such move can scuttle US’s global digital domination. This is an open call by these corporations for the US to take a geopolitical, as opposed to national public interest based, approach to digital economy. China’s state-corporations nexus, meanwhile, is too well known to require elaboration. Global digital offerings are likely to organise and split, around the two global digital poles of US and China, while also becoming more integrated. This is an emergent but key structural logic of global digitalisation.
All countries other than the two digital superpowers face a dilemma of momentous proportions. As data driven digital intelligence, and the corresponding platforms, become key to the reorganization and control of almost all sectors, and the latter’s backbone is formed of digital artefacts – from chips, network equipment and personal devices to software and applications, these countries may have to make the decision to digitally align with either the US or China. A mixed basket may work initially for some time. But increasingly, with even technical standards getting split across the geopolitical divide, digital options will tend to close in to one or the other digital superpower becoming the principal choice.
As everything is digitalised, digital security applications become key to a nation’s overall security – every country’s priority concern. Much of digital security is integrated into a country’s choice of chips, devices, networks, software, applications, AI and the key sectoral platforms. And since security thinking and choices are geopolitically strategic, so will be the choice of the entire digital value chain. In a digital society’s regard, economic, social, cultural, political and security spheres all have common infrastructural bases, which renders the choice of digital geo-alignment somewhat integral and unitary.
Even if a temporary thaw is managed vis a vis Huawei and other current areas of digital contention between the US and China, a larger logic and set of forces are operating towards a digital chasm that are unlikely to be reversed.
What such a digitally split world would look like is scary to imagine. This is apart from the acute digital dependencies that countries will suffer vis a vis their respective digital overlord (US or China). Once the digital intelligence that runs a country’s sectors is owned and controlled by outside agents, countries will be in a helpless situation, quite worse than industrial age dependencies.
Digital Non-alignment and an Open Digital Ecology
In these circumstances, what are the options for all the non-digital-superpower countries- including European countries? It is a different matter that the latter remain a prisoner of some kind of nostalgic/ romantic notion that they hold some hidden advantages that will somehow, someday, catapult them to the digital front row.
The appropriate direction would be a combination of a geopolitical approach of digital non-alignment, and a practical one of diligently promoting and establishing open digital value chains and ecology. Taking inspiration from the cold war period’s non-alignment movement, digital non-alignment would mean deliberate economic and political investments to keep ones digital economy and society not too closely hooked to either of the digital superpower’s digital products and services.
Like with the original non-aligned movement, a very important aspect of this would be to employ collective strength to, firstly, resist the very formidable digital allurements and power that these countries will be subject to, and, second, to shape more mixed and open digital options on the ground. The latter will involve and require promoting strong domestic industry participation as well as retaining sufficient digital regulatory possibilities.
Establishing a more open digital ecology is the technical, policy-legal and business model complement to geopolitical digital non-alignment. There is an urgent need to promote public and open technical standards in all layers of the digital value chains. This should reverse the trend towards proprietary standards, which bear the risk of splitting – at least to some extent – across the US-China divide. Such open standards also help mitigate vertical integrations, which need to be further countered by explicit and strong regulatory measures. Templates for such regulations promoting digital openness should be built at the global level, so that it is convenient for all countries to implement them. Policy and legal support is required to protect and enable domestic digital industry, including through laws and means for local data ownership and sharing.
And finally, for cross-border and global digital business, more open and less extractive business models are needed. The latter would empower and build real digital capacities of domestic businesses and economies, rather than exploit them. Such open international models can be promoted, for a start, by countries with currently better digital competencies, like some European countries, as well as bigger developing countries like India.
Huawei and China have been preparing for such digital blackmail by the US, and may even employ it to their advantage. But down the line, other countries, with much of their society digitalized with deep dependencies vis a vis one or the other digital superpower, would find themselves completely helpless against a similar threat or blackmail. It is most likely that they will have to give in to whatever demands are made of them.
There may yet be time to anticipate and prepare for– or substantially avoid – such a dismal future, which happens to be closing in fast.

Jusuf Kalla was the catalyst and a visionary in the relationship between Indonesia and Israel
Steve Stein has been dealing with at least a hundred businessmen from Indonesia. He suggests Indonesian government to ease restrictions to restart direct private trade with Israel.

Jusuf Kalla Steve Stein Indonesia-Israel Relationship
Like many other Arab and muslim countries in the past, Indonesia had also trade relationship with Israel secretly. The private trade relationship between both countries were advanced and robust aftet the lifting of the ban for trade with Israel during Presiden Abdurrahman Wahid era.
Steve Stein, Israeli enterpreneur and also humanitarian activist, witnessed those development. He entered Indonesian markets in 1992 and since that has maintained his business in Indonesia. He has been dealing with at least a hundred businessmen from Indonesia.
Stein, who was the coordinatior for Israeli humanitarian assistance for the victims of the 2004 tsunami in Aceh, acknowledged former Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla aka JK played a key role in direct private trade relationship between Indonesia and Israel. As Trade Minister in 2000, Kalla issued a ministerial decree that lifted the ban for trade relationship between both countries.
"Pak JK was the catalyst and a visionary in the relationship," said Steve Stein in an exclusive interview with Faisal Assegaf from Albalad.co via WhatsApp last week. He also assisted Jusuf Kalla and Palang Merah Indonesia (PMI) team while they were travelling to Israel and Palestine ten years ago.
Stein can be called as Kalla's trusted person in Israel. He was contacted by Kalla to help two Indonesians who were also arrested after Israeli elite commandos stormed on Mavi Marmara humanitarian ship in 2010. That two Indonesians then deported via Amman.
Can you explain yoour personal experience while you were starting to do business with ur counterpart from Indonesia?
Because of my unique line of business It took me several years to develop a personal trust with my Indoneaia counter part/s. It wasn’t just buy or sell, my target was to build a solid bridge that will be able to facilitate any kind of challenges.
At every opportunity I made a point to invite Indonesians to visit Israel, meet locals including local Arab citizens. Such approach was instrumental in creating trust with suspicious Indonesians since 1992.
Who was your first counterpart from Indonesia?
Need to ask permission to use his or their names. One of them W.D, he is Javanese.
What did you offer to him?
Agriculture and water technologies.
What about his response?
Very positive because he already knew that Israel was the best in this field.
Until today, how many counterparts do you have in Indonesia?
Over a dozen active counterparts.
When did you meet Indonesian influential figures and government officials for first time?
Soon after December 26 2004 tsunami, I met Minister for Social Welfare Mr. Bachtiar Chamsyah to present him humanitarian aid offered by a Jerusalem based NGO, presenting him a list of aid to be sent to Indonesia, as promised 75 metric ton of aid was airlifted by the NGO on January 11, 2005.
Mr. Chamsyah was doubtfull we were going to deliver because so many NGO’s promised and failed, but I told him that we deliver on our promises and we did. I was at the airport to meet the Boeing 747-200 cargo aircraft.
Mr. Chamsyah was a member of the government emergency committee overseeing international aid in the aftermath of the tsunami.
Where did you meet Bachtiar Chamsyah and who did introduce you to him?
I met Bachtiar Chamsyah at his office at the Ministry for Social Affairs building in Jakarta. Through my associates in Jakarta relayed my offer to deliver aid. It was Jusuf Kalla who recommended for me to meet Bachtiar Chamsyah and present him with offer of assistance.
How could you meet Jusuf Kalla for first time? And how close both of you since that time?
In fact I met Jusuf Kalla when he was chairman of PMI. We communicate as needed as my additional activities representing Israel emergency national services MDA a member of the Red Cross. I always make sure to wish him health on his birthday.
How close your relationship with him now?
As close as it could be. As chairman of PMI, Pak JK called on me following the Mavi Marmara flotilla fiasco on May 31, 2010 attempting to breach Israel blockade of Gaza. In it two Indonesians where on board and arrested by Israeli authorities. One of them was wounded and recovering from surgery at Israel hospital.
Pak JK asked me to visit him and upon recovery to deport him to Indonesia via Amman. His wishes was carried out.
So it can be concluded that you are his trusted person in Israel?
Did you also advise him to visit Israel while he was serving as a vice president?
As you know, Pak JK served also as chairman of PMI. At this role he wanted to visit the Palestinian Red Crescent (PCRS). For this, he needed to enter Israel from Jordan. MDA Chairman Dr. Noam Yifrach and myself assisted with entry visas for Pak JK and PMI team.
Concerned for his safety, I was personally involved to oversee his crossing the Allenby Bridge from Jordan than being picked up by the vehicles of the PRCS to Ramallah which went very smoothly. I invited Pak JK and his PMI entourage to visit MDA facilities for overnight in Tel Aviv as guests of MDA and he agreed.
Again, concerned for his safety and comfort as well as following Red Cross protocol, we traveled to Jerusalem Olive Tree Hotel to meet PMI team with Red Cross representative who escorted the team from Ramallah to Jerusalem. From there together with MDA chairman, we traveled to Tel Aviv.
How was his response on MDA while he was visiting its headquarter?
Very positive, he knew about MDA from Red Cross in Geneva. This time he and team got to visit MDA blood bank, the largest and most modern facility in the Middle East.
Was there any discussion for possible cooperation between MDA and PMI at that time?
When meeting Pak JK first time at PMI headquarters in Jakarta, I suggested cooperation in various areas between PMI and MDA, after all MDA worked closely wth the Palestinian Red Crescent and the Red Cross charter calls for cooperation between national societies.
Can you tell me how did you meet Gus Dur for first time?
Yes, it was in February 2001 during team visit from Israel Ministry of Trade delegation headed by its director general. President Gus Dur hosted the delegation for lunch. This was possible because in Feb 2000, Pak JK as minister of industry and trade removed restrictions in the private sector for direct trade between Indonesia and Israel.
Pak JK was the catalyst and a visionary in the relationship.
Did you involve in any discussion with Jusuf Kalla and Gus Dur before Indonesia decided to lift ban on trade with Israel?
No I did not, it was Ran Cohen, Israel Minister of Industry and Trade in 1999 meet JK during international forum and suggested to allow direct private sector trade which he did. But to implement it on the ground requires believers on both side. That's where I got involved because I could rapidly travel between Israel and Indonesia to advanced Mr. JK ministerial decree.
I have to mentioned that it was not a one man show. Many supporters on both side assisted because they believed it was good for the people of Indonesia and vice versa.
So who did decide to lift ban on trade with Israel, Gus Dur or Jusuf Kalla?
You know Gus Dur had warm feelings about Israel before he became president. It was the authority of JK to lift the ban with the approval of Gus Dur.
Abdurrahman Wahid, former Indonesian President who was a champion of interfaith cooperation and positive relations between Indonesian and Israelis. In 1994, PM Yitzhak Rabin invited Gus Dur to witness the signing of a peace agreement between Israel and Jordan.
Alwi Shihab, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in 1999 revealed that there was a possibility to open trade relations with Israel, quoted by Kompas daily on Oct 26, 1999.
Gus Dur felt that this cooperation could be carried out without opening diplomatic relations.
Whose idea to open private trade relationship between Indonesia and Israel?
It was Gus Dur idea.
Did he ask your advise about that issue?
Does it mean yes?
So who did influence Gus Dur therefore he had an idea to lift the ban on trade with Israel?
Alwi Shihab adviced Gus Dur that there was a legal mechanism to remove the restrictions of trade with Israel. It was JK as a Minister of Trade had the power to revoke the trade restrictions.
Ministerial Decree No. 26/MPP/Kep/12/2000 concerning the cancellation of the Decree of Minister of straws No. 102/SK/VIII/1967, that there are no restrictions or impediments for Indonesian companies to trade with Israeli companies and vice versa.
After the lifting of that ban, how the trade between Indonesia and Israel has run?
As soon as trade restriction lifted.
Is it running well?
Banking and trade restrictions lifted on the Israeli side. We started to inform the business community such as investors, manufactures, bankers and commodity traders, through major seminars of the endless possibilities.
We got two insurance companies one from Indonesia (Asuransi Jasindo) and Israel Assure Ltd. to sign agreement to insure each side for non-performance insurance which is a major factor in dealings between countries.
Because there was no formal relations exist between the two countries, both sides agreed that in case of a dispute between the two sides, arbitration court would be the place to settle it. This mechanism was important to have in place before you start doing business.
Once MoU have been exchange between the ministries and published, we went to work. Before the agreement, trade between both countries in various sectors was US$ 50 to US$ 75 million. With our system in place, it went up to $350-$500 million in two years.
Just to remind you that the business community in Israel is fast moving, well connected and well respected internationally.
Travel to both countries was easy and efficient. We encouraged investors to travel to Indonesia to see firsthand the potentials. In fact, I was called Mr. Indonesia in Israel because my office provided all the answers and solutions of how to do business and to avoid pit-falls.
But then politics stepped in. Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs decided that they are more Palestinian than the Palestinians themselves. They made it difficult for business people to obtain visas for Indonesia even when Indonesia entity was the inviting host. So, frustration set in the business community, the news spread fast.
RI foreign affairs caused the fiasco and turned the visa obtaining process into a black market. Israeli passport holder had to pay up to US$ 700 to obtain a visa while Indonesia passport holder paid only US$ 36.
I warned officials in Jakarta that unless the business issue is properly addressed the trade agreement in place will fall apart. There was a momentum in place but it takes to to tango. If it is difficult to do business in Indonesia, the Israeli business community and bankers will go to other countries which are opening up for them.
Case in point which made me take a back seat promoting business with Indonesia. I convinced a first class Israeli business tycoon to come with me to Indonesia to check on a large business opportunity. He agreed and asked his international attorney to join him for the flight because he was willing to invest big in Indonesia.
Invitation was issued by a large Indonesia conglomerate. The process to obtain the visa was difficult and time consuming, at the end the trip was canceled.
The same businessman just signed a multi billion dollar deal with a large company in the United Arab Emirates.
Pak JK always believed that for Indonesia to have a role to play it must engage Israel through trade. When Gus Dur gave the green light, Pak JK found the solution and issued a ministerial decree.
As early as 1994, when I joined state owned insurance company Asuransi Jasindo as unpaid advicer, together with other associates our goal was "People making Peace (from) bottom up and not from top to bottom." We had the vision but then there are spoilers along the road.
What are the spoilers?
Indonesia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs was the main spoiler, even though other agencies where positive but it take a consensus to approve the visa process.
Who is that Israeli tycoon?
Chairman of Ampa Capital Ltd., Eilat sea port on the Read Sea, Israel Shipyards Ltd. Shlomi Fogel.
When did a large Indonesia conglomerate invite Shlomi Figel?
Checking my records (don’t ask me who was the Indonesian party).
Who was the Indonesian side?
I can not reveal at this time. The invitation was 26 July, 2012.
So how about the business circumstances between Indonesia and Israel today?
Before Covid-19 it is less than US$ 75 million, no new trade, investments or tourism. Unless changes are initiated in Jakarta, I see a bleak future, Israeli and Jewish enterprises invest elsewhere like in Dubai. Especially if you can fly directly, visa on arrival saving time and money.
Opportunities for Israel today are different. It's not like with Indonesia in 2000, 2016 or 2020, the world is moving forward.
Do you think a diplomatic relationship is the only solution to create a robust and advanced economic cooperation between two countries?
Not at all, recreate a friendly business environment which has been lost unfortunately, Israelis need to feel welcomed if they should bring investments, know-how and technologies and the world markets, this should not being taken lightly by the Indonesia public and the private sectors.
Do you think Jusuf Kalla will support for formal relationship with Israel?
Of course establishing formal relationship between countries has numerous advantages, in case of Indonesia a step by step approach should be considered. Pak JK has a role to play, experienced and respected politician by the masses in Indonesia, he will support any kind of relations, but now he has retired. I'm not of liberty of how he wants his legacy to be remembered.
Success in International relations requires boldness, motor a vision to the future and timing. It has been 20 years since Indonesia tried to open the door for direct trade without 3rd country involvement but then it was shut. Did Indonesia missed out with such approach? The answer is yes, it was the Indonesian people who lost out.
Is there any approachment from both sides to restart direct trade?
You need to understand that my activities was not only trade and investments, I developed programs to train medical doctors, paramedics in disaster management and how to handle mass casualty events. We had a training program for farmers in agriculture and water for food security, as well as relationships between universities. The support was great it was a win-win for all. But then the momentum was stoped, it wasn't the fault of the Israeli side.
Currently there is some interest for Israeli start-ups but the corona virus would make it a slow process to properly implement.
When did direct trade between Indonesia and Israel stop?
When it was noticeable in 2017 that the relationship is one sided.
Is there any official notice from Indonesian government?
No, the ministerial decree of Feb 2000 by Pak JK was never revoked. When visas became hard to obtain, we got the message. In June 2018, after Indonesia rejected 53 tourists visas, as a counter-attack Israel imposed a ban on Indonesian tourists to travel to Israel.
Do you think there is an opportunity to repair the relations between both countries?
Yes indeed, since I know both sides and can travel at moments notice before 2018 visa ban. I offered several solutions which are doable, but no one on the Indonesian side thought it is a pressing matter.
Listen, if we can do business with Vietnam, Cambodia, or China, we can do it with Indonesia, but it takes both sides to be engaged to resolve in advance sensitive issues.
Comparing with Soeharto era, how about the value of trade between Indonesia and Israel after Gus Dur era?
A big boost and increase in trade after Gus Dur era. His approach was a welcome in the business community on both sides.
Is there any Israel representative designated office in Indonesia?
Not that I'm aware.
Regarding normalisation process between Israel with UAE and Bahrain and likely followed by other Arab and muslim countries, do yu think Indonesia will take a more open approachment to Israel?
We certainly hope soon, so a more open approach by Indonesia towards Israel is required and needed.
Contrary to popular belief in the past, peace must first be established between the Arab states and Israel, and then the Palestinian issue may be included. Indonesia should adopt such approach now.
We can convince a generation of Palestinian politicians that the only way to get a state is through a deep and genuine understanding between people and cultures, and not just around territorial negotiations.
For your information, just before COVID-19 outbreak, my office has been approached by the Palestinian date growers association to assist them in entering the Indonesia market. It only showed you that politics was not an issue in this and other matters.
Do you have any documentation how many Indonesian businessmen have trade relations with their counterparts from Israel?
This info is not available by me never kept a list. I can tell you that I have been dealing with at least 100 + if not more.
Include tycoon?
"I think this would ultimately be good for Palestinians as well. Isolating Israel only compounds a situation of distress for them," said Rabbi David Rosen.
"These Arab dictators try to get US and Israeli support for their regime against Iran and their own people's democratic inspirations. Why should Indonesia join this trend of dictatorial betrayal?" said Ronen Skaletzky.
If you look at the trade between Israel and Turkey which is around US$ 6 billion, you can see what can be achieved. The biggest potential is in agriculture.

Biden Administration Tells Israel It Will Continue to Pursue Normalization With Arab Countries: Report
US to Move Israel Under Central Command, Alongside Arab States Facing Iran
‘Economic Relations With UAE Will Be Developed 10 Times Faster Than With Other Countries,’ Says Israeli Tech CEO
by Irit Avissar / CTech
An El Al plane is seen in the background landing at Abu Dhabi International Airport, in the United Arab Emirates, Aug. 31, 2020. Photo: Ministry of Presidential Affairs / WAM / Handout via Reuters.
CTech – “In the United Arab Emirates, many have understood that while oil is a good thing, it’s not something that can be relied on, because of its wavering price, and the fact that it won’t last forever. That’s why in the UAE many have taken a step forward to diversify the country’s revenues, and this was indeed successful. In Dubai, for example, oil is only 2% of the country’s revenues,” CEO of Leumitech Yifat Oron said during the Israel-UAE Conference organized by Calcalist, Bank Leumi, and Reshet 13.
Oron noted that Leumitech is accompanying many Israeli tech companies and helping them expand their operations overseas, and that Dubai is a significant potential destination for Israeli companies because of the processes that the UAE is undergoing.
“Dubai is becoming more technological, and less reliant on oil. Technology is the most important growth engine for the economy, but it is also an important engine for countries such as Israel and the Emirates. Technological development includes bringing talent, developing operations, and accelerating economic growth,” she said.
Oron was interviewed by CTech’s Ron Friedman and gave him her insight when asked what she had learned from these past three months since the Abraham Accords were signed. She noted something that she hadn’t realized before.
“At the beginning, we thought that cooperation with the UAE would include Emirati investments in Israeli startups and tech companies. Now we understand — including what we have heard this morning — that the local market actually wants a deeper and more mutual partnership. The Emirates don’t just want to invest in Israeli companies, and to see a return on that, they want complete, real, strategic cooperations, and mutual investments of Israelis in local companies here,” she said.

Paris Jackson Reveals She Underwent Emergency Surgery for a "Golf Ball–Sized" Abscess
Science of Beauty Podcast: LasersLISTEN NOW
surgery scare
It "was definitely the most pain that I've ever been through."
By Emma Sarran Webster
On Saturday, August 11, Paris Jackson performed a show with her band, The Soundflowers. The day before, she was in a hospital operating room undergoing surgery.
According to People, Jackson announced the operation in an Instagram stories video on The Soundflowers’s account. “So long story short, I had surgery yesterday," she explained, adding the surgery was to remove "an abscess that was almost the size of a golf ball." If it were to pop, she said, "you can go septic and die."
Fortunately, Jackson's abscess was removed before it could get worse. "But I didn't die," she said in the Instagram story video. "They operated immediately."
Per the National Library of Medicine, an abscess is a "pocket of pus" that can form almost anywhere on the body as a result of the immune system fighting an infection. When they’re on the skin, abscesses are typically raised, red, and painful; they can also form internally.
According to Mayo Clinic, sepsis is a complication that happens when chemicals enter the bloodstream to fight an infection — and it can, as Paris alluded to, be life-threatening, if not treated early. The symptoms of sepsis include a fever above 101 degrees or a body temperature below 96.8 degrees, a high heart rate, difficulty breathing, and abdominal pain, among others.
Jackson told followers that she declined anesthesia during her surgery and "was awake for all of it" — and it "was definitely the most pain that I've ever been through in my entire life," even considering the many tattoos she has.
But despite the pain, Jackson rallied for The Soundflowers concert; which, according to People, benefitted the organization F Cancer. "We played a show today, and we didn't completely suck, and my f*cking grandma was there, and I'm so relieved that she didn't hate it, that she actually liked it," Jackson said in the Instagram video. "And I don't know, that means the world to me."

Eat This, Not That | Metagenics | Blog
Your body is built to fight off anything that may harm it, from infections to injuries to toxins in the air. And when your body is in danger, your immune system to triggered to respond.1 That response is called inflammation—i.e., your body’s way of protecting and healing itself.2 Eventually, you become healthy again. But what if you don’t?
For some, inflammation can become chronic and persist; instead of becoming your ally, it becomes your worst nightmare.3 In fact, systemic inflammation is a known precursor to chronic illness.4,5
Unfortunately, chronic inflammation may be more common than you think. An otherwise healthy person can have a low to moderate amount of inflammation in his or her body and not even know it. The good news? There are plenty of foods you can eat that have been shown to help reduce chronic inflammation and can therefore promote overall health; there are also plenty of foods that have been linked to promoting inflammation which you can avoid. Keep these lists in mind at your next meal!
Do eat:
Leafy greens: Vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, and kale are packed with antioxidants that protect your body from foreign invaders.4,6
Berries: Varieties including blueberries, raspberries, cherries, and strawberries are high in protective compounds such as antioxidants and polyphenols.4,7
Nuts: Healthy snacks like almonds and walnuts have been associated with reduced markers of inflammation.4
Avocado: A superfood rich in monounsaturated fats as well as carotenoids and tocopherols, avocados can reduce your risk for chronic illness.9,10
Dark chocolate: A delicious treat with plenty of antioxidants to fight off inflammation. It may even lead to healthier aging.1
Green tea: Sip on this ultra-healthy drink for its antioxidative, anti-inflammatory properties, particularly its high levels of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). This substance inhibits proinflammatory cytokine production.12,13
Fatty fish: Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish (e.g., salmon) are metabolized into anti-inflammatory compounds called resolvins.4,14
Extra virgin olive oil: This kitchen staple is full of healthy monounsaturated fats and has been shown to reduce inflammatory markers.4
Turmeric: This beloved spice contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory nutrient.8
Coffee: Your favorite morning beverage contains polyphenols and other anti-inflammatory compounds.
Note: Many of the foods on this list make the cut in one of the most well-researched diets in the world—the Mediterranean diet. Overall, the plant-based combination of healthy fats, carbs, and protein is shown to reduce key markers of inflammation.4,15-18
Eat less:
Saturated fats: Found in virtually all processed, packaged junk foods as well as things like shortening and lard, saturated fats can throw off immune cells and trigger inflammation. Common culprits include pizza, pasta, cheese, and red meat products.19
Refined carbs: These include white flour (breads, rolls, and crackers), white potatoes (French fries), and many breakfast cereals, which contain a high glycemic index.4,21
Processed meats: Consumption of processed red meats (burgers, hot dogs, and sausage) has been associated with increased levels of inflammatory markers.4,22
Sugar: Forget anything that rhymes with gross (e.g. fructose, sucrose), as these can trigger the release of cytokines and lead to inflammation. 4,18
Found in corn, safflower, sunflower, peanuts, soy, vegetable oils, mayonnaise and many commercial salad dressings, these fatty acids may inhibit the anti-inflammatory effects of healthy omega-3s. 20
With this information in mind, incorporating more of these plant-based foods and healthy fats into your diet while cutting out sugar and processed foods can be a powerful strategy in supporting your long-term health.

Irish People Try Fried Chicken From Around The World [WATCH]
Post author By Peter Pham
There are few foods in the world that could best fried chicken. If clogged arteries weren’t an issue, we could honestly enjoy fried chicken for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Over at Facts, a lucky panel of Irish lads and lasses got to do what I’ve been dreaming of my entire adult life: try different kinds of fried chicken from around the world.
Dishes featured include Buttermilk Fried Chicken from the United States, Lollipop Chicken from India, Chicken Karaage from Japan, and Peppered Chicken from Nigeria.
Before biting into the crispy cuts of poultry, the group doesn’t actually know where the fried chicken comes from or what type it is. They’re gifted with the experience of trying completely new fried chicken fare utterly blind.
Check out the video to see what they thought of these variations of the iconic dish.

Tullamore D.E.W. Whiskey Gives You Access To Your Ancestry Through Limited-Edition DNA Kit
Post author By Rashaun Hall
Alcohol may be the reason that some of us are here, but now one whiskey brand is helping consumers figure out where they’re from — literally.
To celebrate the launch of “The Beauty of Blend” campaign, Irish blended whiskey Tullamore D.E.W. has partnered with MyHeritage DNA to create a limited-edition branded DNA kit which will allow people to “uncover their own unique blend” or learn about their own ancestry. The kits will be given away through a gifting program and the Tullamore D.E.W. social channels in the coming months.
“We are built on blend. It runs through every bottle of our original triple blend Irish whiskey,” says Caspar MacRae, Tullamore D.E.W.’s Global Brand Director, via a statement. “There are numerous examples in the worlds of food, music and beyond where something beautiful has been created because of the blending of different cultures or ideas, and we think that is worth celebrating. The Beauty of Blend celebrates our belief in the spirit of blend – from the original triple blend in our Irish whiskey to the blending of cultures, rooted in our historic association with Irish emigrants around the world.”
This partnership is part of Tullamore D.E.W.’s new global advertising campaign, “Beauty of Blend” which celebrates the unique spirit of the blend – whether it be the triple blend of pot still, malt and grain whiskies in Tullamore D.E.W. or the blending of cultures and ideas throughout history. Reviewing trends of DNA testing from around the world, Tullamore D.E.W. worked with MyHeritage DNA to uncover that 99.7% of people have a blend of multiple ethnicities, meaning that only 0.3% of individuals sampled are of only one ethnic background.
The “Beauty of Blend” campaign launches with two new films. “No Irish Need Apply” is a film showcasing the history of Irish immigration in the USA, while “Danny Boy” celebrates cultural diversity in a way that is authentically Irish.

Irish People Try American Pancakes For The First Time [WATCH]
The problem with American pancakes is that once you crave them, you’ll stop at nothing to get your hands on some. Once you take those first few fluffy bites drenched in maple syrup, however, you find yourself stuffed and can’t carry on any further. Or maybe that’s just us.
As part of a balanced breakfast, the folks over at Facts got a group of Irish folks together to try different kinds of American pancakes for the first time. Pancakes variations include blueberry, red velvet, strawberry cheesecake, and bacon & maple syrup.
Watch them try American pancakes in the below video:
Irish pancakes are described as more like crepes in the video, much thinner than their US counterparts. In other words, the US breakfast dish may be a tad more filling.
Check out the video above to see how the panel reacts to the different types of American pancakes. Actually, pancakes don’t sound too bad right now. Hopefully I can eat more than a couple bites before throwing in the towel, though.

Watch Irish People React To Trying American Peanut Butter For The First Time
Late-night hunger pangs can be a cruel mistress. You’re stuck in the twilight between nuking something in the microwave, or just going back to sleep. More often than not, sleep loses that battle and we end up making ourselves a sandwich. The quickest and quietest solution: a good old fashioned sandwich made with American peanut butter.
Facts, the YouTube channel behind Irish People trying American BBQ, is at it again.
The panel try the most popular peanut butter brands like Jif, Smuckers, Creamy Reese’s, and Skippy.
Check out the video below to see their different stances on American peanut butter brands and which ones they enjoyed the most. Personally, we were always partial to Skippy.
Watching these lads and lasses try all the American peanut butter we have at our disposal really makes us curious about the differences between them all. Perhaps on our next grocery run, we’ll pick up a few. Can’t hurt to grab some jelly either.

Irish People Try Jolly Ranchers For The First Time [WATCH]
When it comes to candy, Jolly Ranchers are one of the few we truly enjoy at any time of year. The fruit-flavored sweet comes in a variety of forms such as hard candy, jelly beans, lollipops, and gummies. If we had to pick, green apple Jolly Ranchers are the embodiment of candy itself.
The folks over at Facts decided to try the iconic confectionary for themselves, and rallied together a panel of lads and lasses to taste the sweets for the very first time.
Candy flavors include Fruit n’ Sour, Cinnamon Fire, Blue Raspberry Soda, and Awesome Twosome Bites.
Check out the video to see this group of Irish citizens get a sugar rush on camera and voice their opinions on the variety of Jolly Rancher flavors they toss in their mouths.
After all that candy, they’ll probably be wanting something pretty savory to even out all that sweetness. Might we recommend a heaping helping of shawarma fries?

Watch These Folks Try Alcohol For The First Time
Most of us of drinking age can remember that first experience with alcohol and whether or not we enjoyed the taste. As time went on, we got used to the strong flavor and welcomed the buzz that came with the drink. Sometimes we look back and wonder how we would handle our first alcoholic beverages if we could relive the experience again.
In their latest video, Facts found a trio who have never tried alcohol before to drink a variety of liquored up beverages for the first time. The drinks and cocktails they tried include cider, beer, alcopops (alcoholic soda), gin, and wine.
The panel seemed pretty unanimous about their dislike for nearly all of the alcoholic beverages placed in front of them. Hey, it’s not for everyone and that’s OK.
Check out the video and see if this experience triggers some of your first-time drinking memories.

Irish People Try Sushi For The First Time [WATCH]
The first time we tried sushi, many many years ago, we were pretty nervous about the idea of eating raw fish. Since that first experience, we’ve fallen in love with the iconic Japanese dish.
Over at Facts, the production company dug around and found six people who have yet to experience the bliss that comes from raw fish and vinegared rice.
Popular sushi items include Rainbow Rolls and Ebi Tempura Rolls with Masago. After the first two rolls, however, things take a pretty weird turn in the rolls that come out in front of them. The group tries a Mango California Roll, Charred Salmon and Strawberry Roll, and what they call a Jo Pineapple Roll.
Hang on a second… what? Maybe these are just popular over in Ireland.
If you want to see this group of lads and lasses eat strange sushi-fruit hybrids while struggling to get a grip on their chopsticks, check out the video above.
Man, sushi sounds pretty good for lunch right now. Especially since it’s a million degrees outside.

Watch Irish People Try American Doritos For The First Time
You’re either down with Hot Cheetos or you’re down with Doritos. There’s really not much of a middle ground when it comes with to a bag of chips here in the United States. Unlike Cheetos, however, Doritos has quite a few more fan-favorite flavors to choose from, complete with iconic packaging.
The folks over at Facts got a panel of Irish men and women together to try different flavors of American Doritos for the first time. These flavors include Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, Salsa Verde, and After Dark: Tacos at Midnight.
Check out the video and see whether or not these lads and lasses like the seasoned tortilla chips. Definitely makes us want to grab a bag on the way home.
So what’s your favorite Doritos flavor? Personally, we’re on the Cool Ranch train.

Asteroseismology & Exoplanets with the NASA TESS Mission, Sky in December
4 December 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Talk by Prof. William Chaplin, Professor of Astrophysics School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Birmingham
The NASA transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was launched in 2018. It is providing exquisite photometry to enable searches for new exoplanets and studies of stars and other objects. In this talk I will discuss how we are using these data to conduct asteroseismic studies of stars, by detecting intrinsic stellar pulsations, and providing detailed characterisations of host stars and hence their newly discovered planets.
We will also have a presentation on the Sky in December.
Members will join via Zoom and visitors are welcome on our YouTube channel.

opening online: Friday, September 18th 2020
Arch Enemy Arts presents Spectrum, a group show featuring new work from twenty-three artists, all tied together by one common theme—spectral color.
It's no secret that 2020 has been a roller-coaster of emotions for people all over the world, and so we figured it could be a welcome and refreshing visual to curate a show that focused on highly saturated and colorful works to shine a light and distract from these dark and uneasy times. Also taking into consideration the fact that there was a chance this exhibition wouldn't be able to be viewed in person (surprise, it is!), we started thinking of ways virtual exhibitions were presented and what we could do to create a visually pleasing online show. Eventually we arrived at the idea of creating an actual spectrum of colors, and how we could arrange them to flow seamlessly with no common theme other than the progression and graduation of color from one to the next. To make this happen for SPECTRUM each invited artist was asked to select a color with which they would create a near-monochromatic work of art. Once received, the pieces were then arranged physically to create the Spectrum. Not only is each piece a stand-out/stand-alone work in its own right, but the exhibition as a whole is an absolute beauty to behold. If you're local to or in town visiting Philadelphia we encourage you to stop by to see the show for yourself.
Featured artists: Alex Eckman-Lawn, Alex Kuno, Arthur Haywood, Brian Mashburn, Caitlin McCormack, Erich Moffitt, Eva Redamonti, Jessica Dalva, Jon Ching, Kate O’Hara, Kelly Vivanco, Kristen Reichart, Lori Nelson, Makoto Chi, Matt Ritchie, Micah Ofstedal, Nom Kinnear King, O’Neil Scott, Olivia Rose, Rae Klein, Sam Levson, Sapphire Trickett, and Wiley Wallace.
The SPECTRUM group show exhibition will be on the walls from September 18th - October 11th, 2020.
In an effort to keep ourselves and visitors safe, we're limiting the amount of people in the space to 5 at a time with masks required.
While walk-ins are welcome, we recommend making an appointment to reserve your time slot if you're able.
Doors are open 10am - 4pm, Monday through Friday, with private viewing appointments available to be schedule after hours, if needed.
Sold works will begin to ship the week of October 18th.

The 115th CBC in Montana
By Rose Leach
During CBC-115, 771 field birders and 168 feeder watchers surveyed 32 CBC circles in Montana, for a cumulative total of 142 bird species. Five additional species were seen just during count week (Osprey, Great Black-backed Gull, Barred Owl, Chipping Sparrow, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak). One new species was added to the cumulative MT count day and count week CBC list (Great Black-backed Gull). One circle had just one participant (Fritz Prellwitz in Little Rocky Mountains), while Missoula broke records with 93 field participants. The four next closest circles numbered field counters in the 40s (Billings, Bozeman Helena, Kalispell), so they have a way to go to catch up. In spite of fewer participants, Stevensville tallied the most species (87), with its historic rival Bigfork close behind (86). Missoula was the only other count to break 80, with 83. Other counts with at least 70 were Hamilton (77), Kalispell (74) and Eureka (72).
Canada Goose was the most numerous species in the state (83,857), and usually the most numerous for each circle. However, three counts had none on count day—Big Hole, Little Rocky Mountains, and McNeil Slough—while Bowdoin and Upper Swan Valley each had none except during count week. Mallards were the second most numerous species (28,429), and were present on all circles but three—Big Hole, Little Rocky Mountains, and Upper Swan Valley; totals ranged from two (Musselshell) to 8218 at Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge. Common Goldeneyes were widespread as well, totaling 4147 from 27 circles. Twelve documented Cackling Geese were reported from two circles, continuing similar numbers since CBC-112. The rarest waterfowl were both from Bigfork—not a surprise with the combination of many skilled observers and good access to Flathead and other lakes there. They found one each Red-breasted Merganser and Pacific Loon (with a photo and rare bird report). This is the 3rd CBC Pacific Loon, after CBC95 (also from Bigfork), and a count week bird from Glacier National Park during 2004.
Wild Turkey totaled 2424, reported from 18 circles. California Quail numbered 979, with most (757) from Stevensville (Hamilton had the remainder). Quail numbers have been steadily rising since CBC-105, and peaked at 1291 during CBC-113.
Bald Eagle was the most widespread species, helping to demonstrate its continued recovery since the banning of DDT. The bird was recorded on 31 of 32 circles, absent only from the Little Rocky Mountains site. Bald Eagle absence there is likely a result of only one observer for the circle, or perhaps less habitat (large rivers) is available there than is available at other sites. For context, Bald Eagles have been reported from the Little Rocky Mountains circle on seven of 24 previous counts.
There were slightly more Red-tailed (680) than Rough-legged (655) hawks, recorded from 24 and 27 circles respectively. There were 37 Harlan’s Hawks, which were counted from eight circles. This was close to the average (40) for the past five years.
Rare raptors included one Ferruginous Hawk at Lewistown and one Osprey reported during count week (and throughout December) in Bigfork. There were seven previous Osprey CBC records for the state. One Gyrfalcon (from Ninepipe) and one Peregrine Falcon (Bozeman) were reported, while 36 Prairie Falcons from 19 circles and 54 Merlins from 16 circles were reported. American Kestrel totaled 78, reported from 14 circles.
The rarest passerine was a Brambling on the Stevensville count. This would be the 8th state record if accepted by the Montana Bird Records Committee (Records Committee), although surprisingly, the species had been recorded during count week (Dec 1993) for CBC-94. The Stevensville bird was well documented on count day and was likely the same individual photographed earlier in December at the nearby MPG Ranch.
Missoula had a count week Rose-breasted Grosbeak (photos on eBird), which stayed in a yard through at least 18 January 2015. The only other recent winter record for this species was 30 Dec 1977 (CBC 78) at Ennis.
Stevensville had the only American Pipit, the 8th CBC record (photo available). A Great Falls Northern Mockingbird was the 9th CBC record (photos available). Billings had the only Yellow-rumped Warbler (3), which makes 16 records there since CBC 90.
Fort Peck had the only American White Pelican, and Billings had the only Double-crested Cormorant.
Four counts had Spotted Towhee (Bigfork, Missoula, Stevensville, Troy), for a total seven individuals. Bozeman had the only White-throated Sparrow (1). Two Swamp Sparrows, one each from Bigfork and Ninepipe were the 6th and 7th state records since CBC-91.
Kalispell had the only Yellow-headed Blackbird (1), the 7th CBC state record since 2000. Three circles (Ennis, Missoula, Stevensville) reported a total of five Rusty Blackbirds. Ennis also had the only Common Grackles (4).
Yellow-shafted Flicker (1) was reported from only one circle (Bowdoin). Red-shafted Flickers totaled 467, but 1070 Northern Flickers were not identified to subspecies. One Black-backed Woodpecker was reported from one circle (West Yellowstone), while three American Three-toed Woodpeckers were found, one each on Big Hole, Bozeman, and Missoula. While fires and beetle-affected forests occur throughout the state, the habitat does not always occur in our count circles.
Virginia Rails totaled nine, reported from four circles (Ennis, Missoula, Stevensville, Three Forks, and a count week bird from Bozeman). One Sandhill Crane was reported from Hamilton, which was the 11th year it has been reported for the state since CBC-94 (including a count week bird during CBC-108).
Six gull species were recorded, including numerous Ring-billed, California, and Herring gulls, and one each Mew Gull (from Eureka) and Iceland Gull (Fort Peck). The prize for most rare gull was at Fort Peck with a count week Great Black-backed Gull. The bird was found from 23 December 2014 through 19 January 2015, but alas, not on count day. This species has never been reported on a CBC for the state, and this would be the 4th state record if accepted by the Records Committee.
Eurasian Collared-Dove totaled 4158, reported from 24 circles. Their totals have leveled out for the last three CBCs, all near 4140. Mourning Dove totaled 857. Except for CBC-112, which totaled 586, their numbers have remained over 1000 during 11 of the last 12 CBCs, so no clear decreases are evident for the species in spite of increases in Eurasian Collared-Dove.
Barred Owl was only recorded during count week. There were three Snowy Owls, the same as last year but down from high numbers during CBC-112 (15) and CBC-113 (11). There were two Great Gray and three Northern Saw-whet owls (about average for both), three Western Screech-Owls (above the past average of 1), but 16 Northern Pygmy-Owls (above the recent average of 11).
Compilers generally reported average weather conditions and little wind, which helped provide good viewing conditions. Thanks to all of the compilers who round-up and organize the field observers, and then capture all of their data—including effort— for the Montana CBC-115. We couldn’t do it without you!

Magic Leap announces Figmin hologram creation platform is now live on Magic Leap World
April 7, 2020 2020, 3D Assets & Modeling, Collaborations & Partnerships, Creative, Mixed Reality News, News, Platform, Product Launch, Software
In Mixed Reality News
April 7, 2020 – Magic Leap has today announced that Figmin is now live on Magic Leap World. Figmin, which was developed by mixed reality company, Overlay, was created as part of Magic Leap’s Independent Creator Program.
According to a blog post by Magic Leap, Javier Davalos, founder of Overlay, applied his vision for spatial and imagination for design concepts to create Figmin, a multi-purpose platform for creating, collecting and playing with holograms.
Commenting on why he built the platform, Davalos said: “Making just an editor, or a game, would have been easier, but by building a platform we bring together people with different skill sets that synergize to create amazing experiences”.
With Figmin, Davalos hopes people will have more tools, another ecosystem and network to contribute to the growing world of spatial in a way that is both exciting and fun, but also helps accelerate adoption.
The platform allows anyone to begin creating with Magic Leap, regardless of their technical abilities. Figmin users can leverage its built-in 3D model editor to create custom holograms, and can then combine them together to enable complete spatial experiences. Users can also 3D-scan the geometry of real objects in a room, and turn those into holograms – which can be edited and modified directly within any of the built-in editors.
“Design wise, it was quite an adventure,” said Davalos. “There was a lot of experimenting and testing that took place to come up with a series of mechanics that would enable users to perform three specific activities – create, collect, and play – within the same application, in a way that was both simple and comprehensive.”
Figmin also introduces an innovative control mechanic that is designed to work with both Motion Controllers and Hand Tracking systems: The Contextual Hand User Interface “CHUI”. It consists of a UI element that is always in the user’s hands, but it’s content depends on what they are doing and what they are pointing at. For example, if a user is grabbing an object, they can transform it. But if a user is just pointing at it, they can open up a full menu of edit options.

Furthermore, Figmin grants users the ability to manipulate the physics of holograms to create unique experiences. With a built-in physics editor, users can bring models to life by adjusting properties such as mass, friction, drag – and even bounciness. Users can also build, test and play in zero-gravity environments for a new and unique design experience.
Above all else, Figmin is intended to foster community and inspiration, according to Magic Leap. Users are encouraged to exchange and collect digital content with other makers through QR codes generated for each Figmin creation – or by simply discovering content created by the community directly through the Figmin application.
Figmin’s 3D UI is built from the ground up, and the entire application was designed from inception to be an online shared experience.
In the coming months and years, the team at Overlay plans to continue developing Figmin and introduce new tools, editors, multiplayer access, and even freehand controls. The company has an aim of creating the tools, design capabilities, and community that will inspire people to change the world through spatial technology.

Exclusive: Biden campaign blasts Facebook for "regression"
Hans Nichols, author of Sneak Peek
An image of the letter Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon sent Mark Zuckerberg.
On the eve of the first presidential debate, the Biden campaign is pressing Facebook to remove posts by President Trump — and slamming the social media company as "the nation’s foremost propagator of disinformation about the voting process."
Why it matters: By publicly escalating the conflict, the campaign is pressing Facebook to enforce its policies against misinformation more aggressively.
Details: "Rather than seeing progress, we have seen regression," campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon wrote to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in a three-page letter obtained by Axios.
"Facebook’s continued promise of future action is serving as nothing more than an excuse for inaction," the letter says.
"We will be calling out those failures as they occur over the coming 36 days."
The other side: Andy Stone, a Facebook company spokesperson, tells Axios in a statement: "While many Republicans think we should take one course, many Democrats think we should do the exact opposite.
"We’ve faced criticism from Republicans for being biased against conservatives and Democrats for not taking more steps to restrict the exact same content," he said.
"We have rules in place to protect the integrity of the election and free expression, and we will continue to apply them impartially." -
The big picture: Trump has long used Facebook as well as Twitter to talk directly to supporters and encourage them to vote.
Trump has posted messages telling supporters to "go to your Polling Place to see whether or not your Mail In Vote has been Tabulated" and to demand to vote in person if their ballots haven't been counted.
In recent weeks, the president has also turned to Facebook to amplify doubts about the integrity of mail-in ballots.
The Biden campaign says that these posts encourage illegal behavior and should be taken down — and questions why Facebook is holding back.
"By now Mr. Trump clearly understands that Facebook will not hold him to their clearly stated policies," the letter states.
Flashback: In June, Biden's campaign published a petition and a letter to Zuckerberg demanding that the social media giant implement stronger misinformation rules and hold politicians, including President Trump, accountable for spreading lies.
Read the letter.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to include a statement from Facebook.

Facebook bans Trump from posting for 24 hours

Facebook on Wednesday banned President Trump from posting for 24 hours after finding two of his incendiary posts violated its policy. The move comes after CEO Mark Zuckerberg declared the situation in Washington, D.C., an "emergency" and said the company was considering "additional measures" to keep people safe, according to an internal memo obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: President Trump has been using social media, particularly Facebook and Twitter, to get out his message, which has included continued baseless claims of election fraud and praise for those who occupied the Capitol.
Twitter locks Trump out over election fraud tweets amid Capitol siege

After Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, Twitter removed three of the president's tweets and locked his account for 12 hours, saying it may ban him if he doesn't stop breaking its rules with his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
Why it matters: It's Twitter's strongest action against the president's account to date. A number of groups have called on Facebook and Twitter to fully suspend Trump's accounts.

Year-end sales numbers are telling Facebook executives that their big bet on hardware is starting to pay off.
Driving the news: Facebook's hardware team found itself just where it hoped to be for the holiday shopping season: under the Christmas tree, with both Quest 2 VR systems and Portal smart screens delivering better-than-expected sales.

BHOPAL: A nature healer from MP’s Chhindwara, who gets herbs from the legendary Patalkot region, is going to treat former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya, who is suffering from an acute knee ailment.
Dr Prakash Tata will leave for Sri Lanka on February 11, following a request from the legendary cricketer. Sources say it’s former India skipper Mohd Azharuddin, who introduced Tata to Sanath. “Azhar has been receiving consultation from Dr Tata for a couple of years. He asked Jayasuriya to consult Dr Tata,” said the doctor’s personal assistant, Tarun Tiwari.
About a month back, pictures surfaced in the media of Jayasuriya walking on crutches after a surgery in Australia. Jayasuriya had visited Dr Tata before the knee surgery. “He has not recovered fully after the knee surgery. Dr Tata will check Jayasuriya to get to the root of injury,” said Tiwari. TOI couldn’t speak with Dr Tata as he is travelling.
The Ayurveda practitioner is said to have several Bollywood stars and top cricketers on his patient list. What’s interesting about his method of treatment is that he collects herbs from the forests of Patalkot in Chhindwara district— his native place.
Patalkot is a valley in Tamia tehsil, and is the stuff of legends. Till not so long ago, the only way to reach parts of the valley was by rappelling hundreds of feet on rope. Now, there are steps cut into the rock. The hard-to-reach forest has some rare medicinal plants and herbs. It is said that nearly 220 plant species are used by local Bharia community to treat diseases. Some medicinal plants are highly endangered.

Walker Sands research shows B2B marketers value content that leads to sales over thought leadership
B2B Marketing News, Content Marketing, Latest B2B News, Top News March 22, 2019March 21, 2019 Shane Schick
Eighty three per cent of B2B marketers say the production of content is their top priority, and a nearly a third have driving sales and conversions as their primary goal, according to a study from Walker Sands released Thursday.
Based on a survey of approximately 300 marketers, the report from Chicago-based agency Walker Sands, titled The Future Of B2B Content 2019, also showed an overwhelming 98 per cent of professionals believe the cost of producing assets is justified. Besides the 29 per cent who said boosting sales was driving their efforts, 19 per cent cited “building relationships with new customers.” Thought leadership — where a brand becomes seen as a trusted expert on a given subject — ranked second-last, at only 12 per cent.
“In the not-so-distant past, B2B brands updated the company blog or developed value-rich content assets only when time and budget allowed,” Tim Morral, VP of editorial content at Walker Sands, wrote in the report. “Although brands recognized they should produce content (often because their competitors were doing it), relatively few expected content marketing investments to generate actual business outcome.”
The Walker Sands data also suggested that B2B marketers may be moving away from white papers, eBooks and other assets that offer a deep dive on a given topic. Instead, nearly half of those surveyed, or 48 per cent, said they were focusing on short-form content such as social media posts (72 per cent), versus case studies (38 per cent).
Earlier this month, on the other hand, a report from the Content Marketing Institute based on a survey of a similar sample size showed very different results. Although the research was focused more specifically on B2B tech companies, SEO and search algorithm changes were the primary focus for marketers in 2019, with 62 percent reporting it as their biggest concern, ahead of the ability to demonstrate content marketing as a revenue source, at 48 percent. The focus on social was consistent, however, with 63 per cent saying they have increased its use for content marketing purposes.
Within the next year, 69 per cent of those who responded to the Walker Sands survey cited video as the type of content they believe their audiences will prefer. The report’s author pointed out, however, that written content currently outpaces most of what’s produced in B2B marketing departments.
This disconnect raises a red flag about B2B organizations’ ability to connect with key audiences,” the report said. “Most B2B video/multimedia projects lack sophistication . . .To meet the expectations of today’s buyers, brands need to improve the quality of produced videos and approach all video/ multimedia projects from a more strategic perspective.”

Marcus Rashford: Manchester United forward’s campaign to make change happen
whatsupnews
It was on 19 March that Marcus Rashford first went on social media to highlight his fears about the impact that shutting schools would have on disadvantaged children.
He may be a high-profile Premier League footballer now, but it is only 11 years since the Manchester United and England striker needed breakfast clubs and free school meals to supplement what his mum could provide. She was the head of a single-parent family of five children, working full-time on the minimum wage.
When Prime Minister Boris Johnson stood before the nation on the evening of 18 March to tell the country schools had to help combat the spread of Covid-19, Rashford immediately knew what that would mean. While most parents wondered how they were going to manage childcare, Rashford wondered how kids growing up as he had would get fed.
“Guys, across the UK there are over 32,000 schools. Tomorrow all of these will close. Many of the children attending these schools rely on free meals, so I’ve spent the last few days talking to organisations to understand how this deficit is going to be filled,” he wrote.
The start of the six-post thread received 42,500 likes on Twitter. Just under 13 weeks later, Rashford posted again. A rather simpler message.
“I don’t even know what to say.” It received 709,000 likes.
In between, Rashford had helped supply the equivalent of three million meals. He had highlighted the damage caused by the ‘invisible issue of food insecurity’. He had received messages of support from Liverpool and Manchester City. He had changed government policy.
As Rashford returns to his day job, it is worth understanding why, at the age of 22, he has been so willing to step out of his comfort zone. It is worth understanding how he has ended up so revered and admired for his work away from the football field.
Rashford articulated his back story in the emotive letter he sent to MPs on Monday.
“As a family, we relied on breakfast clubs, free school meals, and the kind actions of neighbours and coaches,” he wrote. “Food banks and soup kitchens were not alien to us; I recall very clearly our visits to Northern Moor to collect our Christmas dinners every year. It’s only now that I really understand the enormous sacrifice my mum made in sending me away to live in digs aged 11, a decision no mother would ever make lightly.”
For one of the most recognisable sport stars in the country, this was a brave move. It opened the door on a life Rashford could, if he wished, now leave far behind. He is not far into his career but he has already earned enough to ensure none of his family need worry about their next meal ever again.
Yet that memory in itself does not tell the whole story.
Marcus Rashford: “I’m grateful the prime minister changed his decision”
It is informative to hear of the time Rashford spent, already then a highly-rated academy hopeful, kicking a ball about with his friends at public coaching sessions set up close to his home by the Manchester United Foundation. By that time, his promise as a footballer was already evident. If his coaches in the United youth set-up had known of these impromptu sessions, they would almost certainly have been stopped, in just the same way as then manager Louis van Gaal would have recoiled had he known Rashford went for a kick-about with mates at a Power League complex within hours of making his United first-team debut in 2016.
“There is an argument that these experiences humanised him more than would have been the case if he had just gone through the system,” says a club source, who has watched Rashford’s development from an early age.
“He has a strong family, who are very down to earth. His mother is a great role model. It is part of what keeps him grounded.”
Rashford’s willingness to help out with the wider community has been obvious for some time.
When volunteers were asked to attend Foundation events, Rashford was amongst those who regularly responded. It was soon obvious he was able to communicate with youngsters and make them feel at ease.
“Probably because of his background, there was an empathy and a rapport which the kids really responded to. Kids loved being in his company and Marcus seemed happy to be there. He still does,” says the United source.
This interaction should not be dismissed as insignificant.
For as Rashford’s career was progressing rather faster than many imagined, from England’s Under-16 team in November 2012 to selection for Roy Hodgson’s Euro 2016 squad three-and-a-half years later, he never lost touch with his roots.
“After he made his debut, we asked if he would come back to the school,” says Simon Pyne, a year three teacher at Rashford’s old school, Button Lane Primary in Northern Moor.
Rashford is a product of the Fletcher Moss Rangers junior club in Manchester
“We were having a school disco one night. I was in the office talking to one of the administration staff when a group of lads appeared at one of the doors and buzzed to see if they could come in because they were all former pupils. We didn’t recognise any of them at first but Marcus was there.
“He walked into the disco and all the kids were there. He was brilliant. He chatted to them, did a quick question and answer session with them and had photographs taken. He was absolutely amazing.”
Rashford has donated to the school. On another Christmas visit, he handed over £1,000 so the school could provide the children with a selection box each to take home. His ties to the area are so deep he has a tattoo of the house he lived in at that time on his stomach.
But it was an unrelated, unfortunate event last August that focused Rashford’s mind on what more he could do.
Self-driven, curious, humble: How Rashford rose to stardom
Rashford missed a penalty in a home defeat by Crystal Palace. The fall-out included a number of racist posts aimed at him on social media. Days earlier, his United team-mate Paul Pogba had been similarly abused.
Those close to Rashford said he had already started to become more inquisitive about how the public perceived him. After the Palace experience, he thought ‘this isn’t OK’ and started to take more control.
As a child at school Rashford had helped fill gift boxes to give to those in need. He remembered this. At Christmas 2018 he personally delivered items including thermal underwear, gloves, toothbrushes and toothpaste to homeless people in Manchester. Twelve months on he partnered with Selfridges for a similar campaign.
The gesture was well received. But for Rashford it was not enough.
Man Utd’s Rashford speaks about mother’s sacrifices in his bid to end food poverty
In January, he suffered a back injury against Wolves. It was feared it might end his season. Rashford and the people who work closely with him began to investigate suitable partners to help deal more comprehensively with the social issues affecting his home city.
The work was still in its infancy when it became obvious what a devastating toll Covid-19 was going to take. By the time the prime minister announced schools would shut, Rashford had told FareShare he wanted to make a donation – and he wanted to help.
A nationwide charity, FareShare collects surplus goods from the food industry. It might be from manufacturers or from farmers. It might be because orders have been cancelled, or mistakes in packaging have been made. Through their partners, Fare Share then divert the food to charities, including lunch clubs for the elderly or the kinds of breakfast club Rashford used to go to.
“Those sorts of organisations are about 25% of the 11,000 organisations FareShare supports across the UK,” says the charity’s commercial director Alyson Walsh.
“These are children who have potentially not eaten since the previous day’s free school meal, so getting breakfast to them is massive. Marcus knew about this because he had been to them.”
Rashford’s elevation to national hero had begun.
Rashford’s last match was on 15 January – when he was injured in an FA Cup win at home to Wolves
In his interview with the BBC after Johnson’s staggering U-turn, Rashford boldly declared: “I don’t want this to be the end of it because there are more steps that need to be taken. People are struggling all year round, so we need to learn more about the situation they are in and how we can help them best.”
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Thursday that Rashford’s impact has been “more important than any game of football”. But the reality is Rashford does play football for a living.
He does have a long-term desire to one day establish his own foundation, so he can be hands on in developing projects that would benefit the community, but for now, football must take priority again. And until the end of the European Championships in July 2021, Rashford is going to be quite busy.
So, for him, it is a question of identifying the projects and situations where he can help.
On 1 June, that meant a powerful social media statement in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Three days later it meant standing up for an autistic black boy shown in a video being bullied by two white youths in a park.
Since suffering racism himself, Rashford does not see why he should step away from subjects he cares about. As the past few days show, far more will embrace him for it than reject him. And, if they do, he reasons he doesn’t want that kind of person attaching themselves to him anyway.
Those at FareShare believe Rashford taking a stand can help drive lasting change, beyond what has already been achieved.
“Food insecurity is an invisible issue,” says Walsh.
“People talk about raising money for illnesses they have been affected by. There is not so much conversation around ‘I am raising money for a Foodbank because my sister skipped lunch three times last week’.
“People don’t talk about it because it can be a reflection on their circumstances.
“But the fact Marcus is doing so, not only shines a light on it, it also adds credibility because he has benefited from these clubs and seen how they work.”

CrimeStoppers: Police Seen Trend In Pharmacy Burglaries
by: Melissa Payne
Surveillance video catches some would-be criminals in action. One throws a brick into the window at Russellville Pharmacy. The alarm goes off, scaring the men away. But just last month, two other pharmacies in Russellville become the target of thieves. Then just days later, a pharmacy in Florence got hit.
Investigators say in all of the burglaries, the glass gets shattered by a brick so the thieves can get inside, and raid the stock of drugs.
Of the four recent pharmacy burglaries, suspects got away with pills in just one case, but still, officers say it`s a troubling trend they hope can end, with the public`s help.
“One of the things that assist us is a citizen that sees suspicious activity and calls it in,” said Russellville Police Chief Chris Hargett.
If you have any information about these burglaries give an anonymous call to the Shoals Area Crime Stoppers tipline at 256-386-8685.
If any of the suspects are arrested as a result of your call, it could be worth a cash reward.

Inspiration Landing construction continues after setbacks in 2020
by Jeremy Jackson / Jan 15, 2021
SHEFFIELD, Ala. - Inspiration Landing has been in the works in Sheffield since 2006, then only an idea. It was believed the project was dead once the Great Recession hit but it sprung back to life in 2015.
In 2021, progress is visible with newly paved roads and sidewalks that will lead to future businesses and attractions, although, Sheffield Mayor Steve Stanley said the project has seen its share of setbacks.
"Construction started last year and we expected it to be finished much sooner than it is,” the mayor said. “Of course, we had a pandemic and also record rainfall this spring that caused some delays."
Mayor Stanley said the excessive rainfall in early 2020 led to issues with inferior subsoil conditions on the roadbed.
During those delays, the mayor said construction loan interest charges accrued. To help cover those charges, this week, the city council approved a more than $400,000 cost overrun, but the mayor said that won't impact taxpayers because of savings and interest from a USDA loan.
"We're also in the process of refunding a 2013 bond issue that we can re-issue at a lower interest rate for substantial savings and we're going to get some additional funds on that new bond issue and structure it the same way as the USDA loans,” the mayor said.
Mayor Stanley said had the city council known the condition of the soil prior to construction, they would have borrowed the appropriate amount for the loan from the start. He said although the project is costing more than the city expected, it's not more than it can manage. He added the cost will not jeopardize the success of the project.

Eye on Money

NFL veteran quits, fearing future brain damage
Jacob Bell
(CBS News) LOS ANGELES -- More than 3,000 pro football players, past and present, are suing the National Football League, claiming the NFL deliberately concealed information about the long-term effects of repeated hits to the head.
Offensive lineman Jacob Bell is not part of that case, but he's so concerned about head trauma that he's giving up football.
After 8 years in the league, Bell retired in his prime.
These days, his focus is on staying fit, keeping healthy, and recovering from past injuries.
"The first time you sprain your ankle, you're thrown off," Bell says.
But the injury that concerns him most is one he's not even sure he has - an injury to his brain.
"We're now seeing that there is clear-cut proof that the trauma incurred during football leads to problems later in life," Bell says.
It takes a big man to walk away from the fame and fortune of pro football.
But at the age of 31, the six-foot-five, 270 pound guard is doing just that.
This year, after four seasons with the St. Louis Rams, Bell signed with the Cincinnati Bengals for nearly $1 million - a steep pay cut from the $3 million a year he was making with the Rams. But he was playing the game he loved.
Then, like the rest of the NFL, he was shocked by the suicide of former star linebacker Junior Seau.
Police report reveals details of Junior Seau's suicide
"It's kind of like an eye opener," Bell remarked. "We realized, you know, the game has an effect on you. And we don't know exactly all the things he was going through, his personal life or other factors that played into it, but we can imagine that football may have had some kind of a role in that."
Especially since scientists now link repetitive head injuries to chronic traumatic encephalopathy -- or CTE. The disease, which causes depression and early-onset dementia, was discovered in the brain of former Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson after he killed himself in the same manner as Seau -- a gunshot to his chest.
Junior Seau's death raises questions about brain trauma and CTE
In his suicide note, Duerson asked that his brain be donated to science to study whether the brutality of football was responsible for his mental problems.
Athletes donating their brains to science
Frank Gifford, Ken Stabler and Brandi Chastain, among others, have donated their brains to science to help researchers learn about CTE - a debili...
"We're like modern day gladiators," Bell observed. "We sell our soul to a game for money, for fame, for glory. And at some point, you've kind of got to sit there and say, 'Is this still worth what I'm doing?"'
Bell's answer was no.
One week after Seau's suicide, he became the first NFL player to announce his retirement because of fears playing the sport he loves would result in long-term brain damage.
"I'm giving up at this point because I feel like I've reached a point in my career where I've done enough. ... I think the risk outweighs the rewards"
Has he suffered any concussions?
"I would say anyone who's played football has suffered a concussion," Bell responded. "I remember one time I had a concussion, you know, the feeling in my head lasted two-to-three weeks, and it's hard to sit out. It's hard to say, 'Hey Coach, I've got to sit out. My head hurts. I can't play right now."'
Bell says the competitive culture of the NFL discourages that, while encouraging ever-harder hits and ever-more violent play.
"A lineman in the NFL or in college," Bell says, "at those two levels, incurs about a thousand to 1,500 hits at about 20 Gs. That's like running your car into a wall at about 30 miles an hour, 20 miles an house. So, you're doing that about 1,500 times in a season."
Bell concedes the league has started to address the issue, changing rules to cut down on helmet-to-helmet hits and even letting neurologists make the call on when players return following a concussion.
But research into CTE is in its infancy, and it's expensive.
The NFL has donated $1 million to the research. But Bell hopes the league will dig far deeper into its pockets.
"We may not be able to change the way the game is played," he says, "may not be able to change football. (But) what we could do is raise awareness and do research to maybe find a cure for the disease that's causing these problems."
Bell says he feels fine now. He hasn't sensed any long-term consequences from all the hits he took, but he knows that doesn't mean he won't in the future.
He hopes that, by walking away from the game he loves, he can be a voice for fallen "gladiators" like Dave Duerson and Junior Seau.

technical conference gathering users and developers working on and with
4.4BSD based operating systems family and related projects.
EuroBSDcon gives the exceptional opportunity to learn about latest news
from the BSD world, witness contemporary deployment case studies, and
meet personally other users and companies using BSD oriented
technologies. EuroBSDcon is also a boiler plate for ideas, discussions
and information exchange, which often turn into programming projects.
The conference has always attracted active programmers, administrators
and aspiring students, as well as IT companies at large, which found the
conference a convenient and quality training option for its staff. We
firmly believe that high profile education is vital to the future of
technology, and hence greatly welcome students and young people to this
regular meeting.

WUaS Idea- and Academic Resources
If you are a high school student actively interested in applying to MIT OCW-centric WUaS in English, or know of one, this autumn 2013 - with complete applications due by January 1, 2014, at 12 pm Pacific Time - please email WUaS now at worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com with a brief letter just saying you're interested. Here's the link to the developing Admissions at WUaS page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Admissions_at_World_University_and_School. International students are very welcome.
The admissions' process, to matriculate at World University and School, will resemble the admissions' process to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (http://web.mit.edu/admissions/). WUaS would also like its online students engaging MIT OCW to be able, as overachievers, to study for a year, on-the-ground, at MIT in Cambridge, MA, during their WUaS studies, and to increase academic collaboration with MIT in multiple ways.
Begin studying, teaching, learning or creating now at this online, free, wiki "College at WUaS," - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - or via this MIT Courses' page - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/.
WUaS plans to accredit on MIT OCW with WASC (WASCsenior.org), in California, for its first, matriculating, bachelor's degree class, in the U.S. and in English (to start), in 2014, and to graduate in 2018.
(Online, wiki, virtual World University & School, with its first, matriculating, bachelor's degree class in 2014, and with its free bachelor's, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees, accrediting on MIT Open Course Ware, will be able to STUDY HOW students learn, quite rigorously, - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Research - because this will be mediated by the internet, and WUaS is offering these degrees for free. Reed College's undergraduate degrees, with its required 1st year Humanities course, its junior qualifying exams, and its senior thesis, plus a required freshman, WUaS biology class with computer programming requirements, and further widespread computer programming requirements, the equivalent of 32 MIT/great (and rigorous) courses over approximately 4 years, and with a significant STEM science/mathematics/engineering/technology focus - is the main model for WUaS's undergraduate degrees presently. WUaS hopes to collaborate richly with MIT OCW - http://ocw.mit.edu/ - in the process).
WUaS plans to offer something like 36 majors, based on these MIT OCW 36 main subject areas - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/ - as well as excel in science, technology, engineering and mathematics' fields.
WUaS will eventually accredit in at least 50-100 languages/countries, and as many as possible, to offer free, online, MIT OCW-based degrees.
Accreditation to offer bachelor degrees is a 3 stage process, with WASC, with WUaS's first, matriculating, bachelor's degree class in 2014 (graduating in 2018). WUaS plans to graduate at least 1000 students, every year, with a bachelor's degree, in the online, free college.
WUaS is planning for a "Admitted Students' Day" for the first, matriculating bachelor's degree class, on or around Saturday, April 14th, 2014, and the second Saturday of April for other degrees in the future.
World University & School may target Android/iPhone/ smart phone mobile internet devices with video, and group text chat for the conference method - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - of teaching and learning, as the bare minimum hardware to begin to study for a MIT OCW-centric bachelor's degree.
Standardized tests in respective countries will be part of the admissions process at WUaS, so, for U.S. accredited degrees, SATs for 'The College at WUaS,' GREs for 'Ph.D. degrees at WUaS,' LSATs for the Law School at WUaS, and MCATs for the Medical School at WUaS.
WUaS may engage Harvard's approach to "Holistic Admissions" for an Online Startup University - see below.

Food Fight?
November 15, 2018 November 15, 2018 by Gary
Eventually most New Yorkers tire of the peacock fripperies of the gaudy cafes. There is something irritating to the true trencher man, about people who come to a restaurant to be seen more than to express a zest for food. Like that professional society party thrower who bounces from table to table, halooing across the room and otherwise trying to be the whole show! The practised gourmet studiously avoids such places. When he dines out you will find him at rendezvous rarely mentioned in society chit-chat. Dark-timbered sherry and beef havens with old prints, and perhaps a collection of steins racked around the wall. Instead of shrieking jazz, the clatter of knives and forks and the tinkle of glass. No roster of the “small hour” blades, but diners who know the cut of a steak and when a goblet of rare port or a tankard of nut brown ale are a help and not a refuge. These ancient, sturdy places keep their hold in the midst of eternal change.
The above was penned by Manhattan-based columnist O.O. McIntyre (1884-1938) in 1937, in the Endicott Daily Bulletin. McIntyre was Missouri-born and had a unique take on the Big Apple, never fully part of it, which accounted for his singular and appealing perspective.
The cultural references he is making pertain to my ongoing theme, which is the staying power of a certain idea of British eating and drinking place in North American life.
Even though in our day the steak house aka chop house goes in and out of fashion, the fundaments of what he is saying have a certain resonance. Think of the potency of the English/Irish/Scottish pub concept in the last 30 years. (To us it’s all the same thing really).
The dark timbers are still there, in other words. The nut-brown ale, too – it helped spawn craft beer by god. Both are frequently mass-produced somewhere, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s the symbolism that counts.
Due to population changes the restaurant standbys of 2018 can include Chinese, Middle East, Thai, Italian, curry, diner. But apart from the culinary base expanding, does the true eater enjoy his/her “old reliables” more than the name chefs, the new trends, the hot addresses?
I’m not sure about the binary he puts forth. Demographic counts, for one thing. But even for his target reader, the big city “sophisticate”, is what he says true? What do you think?
Obs. Note how McIntyre uses the compendious term “cafe” to describe the foreign and inauthentic in his eyes. As late as the 1940s the term still carried this connotation here.

Well, he is from Missouri and I will do him one better. I am from Arkansas. So yes, I used to go to more trendy places but I gravitate now towards to the old standbys (sometimes to the chagrin of my wife). Trencherman am I!
Very good, makes sense!
I love Keen’s Steakhouse in NYC, it is all dark timber, sherry (wine), whiskey, and their own ale. It is my favorite when I am in the city.
I have been there and can only agree. It was almost certainly one of the places McIntyre had in mind. It is “beyond fashion” really, but today many restaurant categories have a similar (in notion) iconic status, from delis to pizza and more. They are classic New York too, classic trencherman to use his telling term. I think though the fashionable end can define good food too, and he didn’t see that, due to his particular background perhaps.

What Bert Has To Say About San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara Metro Area
This large metro area covers the southern portion of the San Francisco Bay Area and is otherwise known as Santa Clara County, or more informally, as the “Silicon Valley.” Once a quiet agricultural valley of orchards and small towns and anchored by the indistinct processing and shipping point of San Jose, the area has completely transformed over a period of forty years into an economic and technology powerhouse and cultural crossroads between America and Asia.
Read More about San Jose
The small towns, which include the likes of Sunnyvale and Santa Clara, have completely grown together into a vast sprawl of residential and commercial spaces. Major high-tech manufacturers, research facilities and an enormous array of supporting small- and medium-size businesses fill the valley. Several defense technology suppliers are also present. The area has a distinct high-tech culture with its own lingo and architectural style of endless long, low, glass-fronted buildings in some way mimicking the circuit boards they produce.
Many settle in the area because of career opportunity and the excellent climate, and are rewarded so long as they are tolerant of crowding and high prices. Entertainment assets and cultural activities are abundant and varied, but some of the better activities fill quickly and hard to get into. Like many recent-growth places in California, San Jose suffers from overcrowding and sprawl. In fact, neighborhoods cover buildable land in all directions and traffic along main commute corridors is very bad.
Neighborhoods such as Los Gatos, Los Altos, and Palo Alto at the western edges adjacent to Coastal Range foothills feature exceptional housing and appealing, small downtowns, but homes under $1 million are rare.
The broad, flat valley narrows considerably but continues south toward Gilroy. The sheltered, coastal, Mediterranean climate is ideal. Summers are clear, dry, and sunny, with normal daytime highs in the low 80’s. In the evening, marine air often delivers low, stratus clouds, known locally as “fog,” which typically burns off by mid-morning the next day. Light jackets are usually required in summer. The valley location and stable, summer air produce some hazy or smoggy days. Hot, desert winds sometimes blow in late summer and fall, but temperatures seldom reach 100. Winter is typically mild with days in the 60’s and nights in the 40’s, with occasional lows in the 30’s or upper 20’s. Winter is the rainy season; most precipitation falls when steady Pacific storms enter the area, but the coastal mountains reduce the impact.

Battle Creek has 4,600 lead water service lines and 20 years to remove them
Kalea Hall
Battle Creek city officials believe there are about 4,600 lead service lines that bring water to homes throughout the city.
They need to be replaced.
The state's new Lead and Copper Rule requires the replacement of lead service lines, regardless of lead levels in the water, at an average rate of 5 percent a year. The state has given water suppliers 20 years to get the job done.
Removal is free, but some aren't interested
But getting the customers to cooperate with having their pipes replaced hasn't been easy,even though the work is paid for by the utility, not billed to individual property owners.
"We have to send out several notices," City Engineer and Assistant Director of Public Works Carl Fedders said. "They can decline but we are still responsible for the removal. The people who are willing to get it done at no cost are getting it done."
Before the city rolls out the removal program in earnest, officials have to take inventory of the lead service lines and relay that information to the state by January 2020.
Battle Creek received a $500,000 grant to help with the cost of updating the inventory list and for some lead line replacement, part of an 18-community pilot program set up to test the process of removing the lead service lines.
The cost to remove all the lead service lines in the city is estimated at $17 million over the next 20 years.
Once the grant runs out, Fedders said, the plan is to pay for the replacement with revenue from water rates.
Learning from the Flint water crisis
Michigan's old rule only required replacement when lead in the water supply exceeded allowable levels after a corrosion treatment was used.
It was changed, in part, because of what happened in Flint, where thousands of people were exposed to high lead levels after the city began drawing water from the Flint River and failed to treat it with an anti-corrosive agent. The polluted water damaged lead pipes, which leeched lead into the water system.
"We can have great corrosion control and we can coat the inside of these lead pipes, but there's always a possibility that an error [can] occur in the water plant or something is going to happen. Even construction near the pipes can jar this coating loose and expose people to lead," said Eric Oswald, Drinking Water and Municipal Assistance Division director for the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. "Really the only way to eliminate that exposure is to get rid of the lead service lines, to get rid of the lead in our water distribution systems."
The change also comes as the federal Environmental Protection Agency looks to change its rules on lead.
What you can do if you have lead lines
Susan Masten, an environmental engineering professor at Michigan State University who has done lead testing in Flint, said the change needed to happen.
Lead, she points out, is a "potent neurotoxin."
Lead poisoning in children can lead to developmental delays and learning difficulties and irritability. Babies exposed before birth can be born prematurely. In adults, the symptoms can include high blood pressure, joint and muscle pain and difficulties with memory or concentration.
The state's lead action level is 15 parts per billion currently, but will be reduced to 12 parts per billion by 2024. In 2017, the amount of lead detected in Battle Creek was 1 part per billion.
But Masten said there is really no amount of lead that is good for you and that lead accumulates in the body.
"It would be great if (the action level) were zero, but we can't make it zero," said Terese Olson, an environmental engineering professor at the University of Michigan.
Lead can be dangerous for small children or pregnant women, and officials and experts particularly encourage those households to get their service lines replaced.
"All of us should not want to be drinking lead," Olson said. "I think they should welcome the opportunity to get them replaced."
Olson noted that research done in Flint showed that, 11 months after a lead service line was removed, lead levels in the first 12 liters of water drawn in the morning dropped by 85 percent.
"You can get a pretty large improvement in how much lead you are exposed to," Olson said. "it's not good to be drinking lead, period."
Those concerned about having lead pipes can run water to flush the pipes for 30 seconds before use since lead levels increase if the water sits, Masten said. Using faucet filters can help, too. And diet is important.
"Eating green vegetables helps to absorbs metals," Masten said.
Going onto private property
Before the new rule was established, city workers did not go beyond the curb when replacing service lines at water mains because beyond the curb is private property.
But now the state says the water source provider has to replace those lines. It also has to replace galvanized pipes that have touched those lead pipes.
There are liability and legal issues with getting on the private property to remove the lines.
With the pilot program that Battle Creek is involved in, "we were looking to communities to help solve those kind of problems for the rest of the communities across the state," Oswald said.
Finding the pipes, getting access to them and, finally, replacing them is "a challenge," Oswald said, "but I think it's worth doing. It's going to have positive impact."
The city's Department of Public Works reviewed 24,000 tap slips, which show the type of pipe used for each service line. Of those, the Department found the about 4,600 with lead listed as the type of pipe used. Those pipes could be on public or private property.
In about one out of 10 cases, the lead pipes go up onto private property, Fedders said.
On the public side, the city has replaced more than 60 lead service lines since June 2018.
In February, Battle Creek City Commission approved a $311,670 contract with Hunter-Prell Co. of Battle Creek to replace lead service lines at 92 private homes. So far the company has worked on about 20 homes throughout the city.
"We will need some cooperation with the customers," Fedders said. "Ultimately we are trying to safeguard the system so any cooperation we get is appreciated."
Official: Water is safe
Fedders stressed that the replacement project doesn't mean the water isn't safe.
Battle Creek's system, which serves 55,000 customers in Battle Creek, Springfield and nearby townships, uses a corrosion control treatment to protect lead from getting into the drinking water.
"The city of Battle Creek has had a very successful treatment process," Battle Creek Utility Administrator Perry Hart said.

to Employee Benefits in the United States
What is the NCS?
What is the status of Locality Pay Surveys (LPS)?
What is the role of the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Federal pay administration process?
How can an aggregate ECI series be lower, or higher, than all of its component series? For example, the 3-month seasonally adjusted percent change for compensation, civilian workers in March 2012, was 0.4 percent. However, the change for its two components-wages and salaries and benefits-are both 0.5 percent.
Where can I find information about other NCS Products?
The NCS is a BLS establishment survey of employee salaries, wages, and benefits. The survey produces the Employment Cost Index (ECI) as well as the Employment Cost for Employee Compensation (ECEC) along with employee benefit incidence and provision data.
With the enactment of the Federal Government's 2011 budget, the Locality Pay Survey (LPS) portion of the National Compensation Survey (NCS) was eliminated. A complete set of historical publications on occupational wages for localities, broad geographic regions, and the nation are available. To meet the locality pay requirements of the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990, data from the BLS Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) and NCS programs will be used collaboratively. The OES program will provide wage data by occupation for all localities nationwide with the NCS providing detailed worker characteristics such as work levels, union status, and part time or full time work schedules. The Employment Cost Index (ECI) program will continue to provide detailed worker characteristics such as work level, union status, and part- or full-time work schedule. Together, these two programs allow the BLS to develop wage data by worker characteristics for many occupations and localities. For a history of how BLS occupational wage surveys were used for federal pay comparability, see http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2009/09/art3full.pdf.
For more than half a century, BLS has supplied data on non-Federal pay from its on-going survey programs to those agencies charged with Federal pay administration. To do this, BLS selects a sample of establishments; collects, reviews, and tabulates wage data; and transmits estimates to the appropriate authority (currently, the Office of Personnel Management) for its use in comparing Federal and private pay. Recommendations about adjustments to Federal pay are the responsibility of the President's Pay Agent and its advisory group, the Federal Salary Council. For a more detailed description of the Federal pay-setting process and the BLS role, refer to www.opm.gov/flsa/oca/pay/html/UsingBLSData.asp.
A September 2009 article in the Bureau's Monthly Labor Review, "Fifty years of BLS surveys on Federal employees' pay", (PDF) describes the changes in the Federal pay adjustment process over the years and how the changes affected the Bureau's occupational wage survey programs.
It is possible for an aggregate series' percent change to fall outside of its component series because the published index numbers, which are used to calculate the percent changes, are rounded (to one decimal place). We do this so that users can replicate our calculations of the published 3-month and 12-month percent changes. This effect is more likely to occur with seasonally adjusted series because of additional rounding that may occur in application of seasonal adjustment factors. In the example noted (March 2012), if the index number for the aggregate series' current reference period (in this case March 2012) was just 0.1 point higher (the smallest increment possible)-116.3 instead of 116.2-the 3-month percent change would round to 0.5 percent, just like its component series.

Singular Developments Advance TFF Technology
Cynthia A. Challener
Cynthia A. Challener, PhD, is a contributing editor to BioPharm International.
BioPharm International, BioPharm International-09-01-2017, Volume 30, Issue 9
Page Number: 28–31
Single-use and single-pass TFF devices are facilitating advances in biopharma manufacturing.
Purification and concentration of bioprocess fluids are crucial steps in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Normal-flow filtration (NFF), or dead-end filtration, involves passage of the fluid through a filter made of materials ranging from paper and glass fibers to membranes. These filters typically are used only for removal of undesired contaminants. Tangential-flow filtration (TFF), which involves gently sweeping the bioprocess fluid tangentially along the surface of a semi-permeable membrane, allows for collection and use of both the retentate and the permeate and can thus be used in more biomanufacturing operations. As a result, TFF is used today for both upstream and downstream processing of most biologic drugs.
The need to reduce costs and speed product development, combined with the shift in focus from blockbusters to orphan drugs; the rapid advancement of personalized medicines based on next-generation therapeutics; and growing interest in continuous processing have together driven membrane/equipment providers to introduce enhanced TFF devices that facilitate flexible, low-cost biomanufacturing.
Many applications
There are many different unit operations for which TFF has been proven useful, including cell harvesting and clarification in upstream perfusion processes and concentration, diafiltration (buffer exchange), and purification (product fractionation) via removal of various types of contaminants based on molecular size, which are common downstream processes. Most biologic drug substances, including monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccines, antibody conjugates, and next-generation products such as cell and gene therapies and nanoparticles, can be processed using TFF.
All unit operations are relevant because, by using TFF, the efficiency of the overall manufacturing processes and purity/concentration of biologic drug substances are improved, according to David Serway, vice-president of business development with Spectrum Laboratories.
“These applications are critical for meeting the stringent requirements for efficacy and safety of biopharmaceuticals,” states Andrew Bulpin, head of process solutions at MilliporeSigma, Ultimately, according to Kevin Marino, global product manager for continuous filtration with Pall Life Sciences, TFF technology helps ensure that final drug product is at the appropriate concentration and formulation for patient delivery.
Numerous advantages over NFF
The purification of biomolecules generally involves several tangential and/or normal flow filtration steps combined with chromatographic separations. Both filtration technologies purify bioprocess solutions by removing contaminates with a fixed porous medium, yet each format has unique advantages, according to Amit Sharma, an application scientist with GE Healthcare Life Sciences.
There are, he adds, three main differences between TFF and NFF: TFF filters are exclusively membranes, while NFF filters can be constructed of a variety of materials; TFF supports recirculation of the retentate solution, while the feed in NFF typically passes through the filter only once; and in TFF, the retentate remains a solution, allowing for direct recovery, whereas in NFF, solids are typically collected on the filter and must be resuspended for further processing.
In the majority of TFF applications, the product stays upstream of the membrane and passes over it multiple times until the desired concentration or buffer composition is achieved. An optimal pressure, referred to as the transmembrane pressure, is determined and maintained, allowing a large volume to be processed using an optimal membrane surface area, according to Serway. “This process allows achievement of a high concentration of the product without plugging the membrane or diafiltration without loss of any product,” Bulpin notes. Serway further points out that the design enables linear scale up; processes at the lab that are scaled to production volumes can be operated under similar conditions without the need to reinvestigate the operating conditions as long as the process material has not changed.
“Given these differences, NFF is used when clarification and/or bio-burden reduction is desired in relatively low-solid streams, for protecting or enhancing downstream operations, or when final polishing is required to achieve sterility. TFF is best suited for higher-solids, more viscous feed solutions, and/or where concentration or purification of cells or target species is desired,” Sharma observes. Bulpin adds that the process and economic benefits of TFF make it a necessary step in the manufacture of virtually all biopharmaceuticals.
Singular developments
Evolution in the biopharmaceutical market today is evidenced by the increasing numbers of biosimilars under development and the shift toward novel, next-generation therapies as alternatives to conventional monoclonal antibodies. “As a result, today there is greater need for higher and more effective facility utilization due to relentless cost pressures and, simultaneously, a growing requirement for drugs to be released more quickly to the market with short turn-around times,” Sharma observes. Several advances in TFF technology have helped answer the industry need for speed to market, novel therapies, and faster and more economical processing, according to Bulpin.
Single-use TFF assemblies and systems are one notable development. With disposable flow paths, single-use systems help minimize the risk for cross-contamination and reduce the time spent on cleaning and sanitization, according to Sharma. “Turnaround time between batches or products is improved and uptime is maximized, facilitating multiproduct and flexible manufacturing,” he notes.
Single-use TFF systems also facilitate the adoption of continuous manufacturing, such as perfusion processes, for which TFF is employed in continuous cell harvesting and clarification. “Although perfusion technology has been around for decades, the need to find more effective ways to reach extremely high cell densities and enable more efficient and flexible manufacturing has led to a surge in interest in continuous processing. Single-use TFF systems are ideally suited for continuous cell culture,” Serway explains.
Single-pass TFF (SPTFF) has also emerged as a critical enabler of intensified (faster, smaller, less expensive) processing, according to Bulpin. “Conventional TFF requires the fluid to be recirculated, typically for several hours, and the concentrated product is recovered from the feed tank and system at the end of the process, often resulting in less-than-desirable product yield due to inadequate recovery from the system/tank or product loss due to foaming, denaturization, or aggregate formation,” Marino says. “SPTFF allows for concentration with one pump pass and a single pass through the system using 5-10X lower feed flow rates compared to conventional TFF, resulting in smaller line sizes, significantly reduced hold up volumes, and subsequently increased product yield,” he adds.
In addition, the retentate is collected at the desired concentration throughout the process, eliminating the need to accumulate a batch, making it ideal for continuous bioprocessing. For instance, SPTFF enables ultrafiltration/diafiltration (UF/DF) in a continuous processing mode, according to Marino. Pall has an exclusive license to this patented SPTFF technology.
Other noteworthy advances in TFF technology, according to Bulpin, include TFF devices that are specifically designed for high-viscosity processing, allowing the production of drug formulations suitable for injection. Improvements in TFF manufacturing processes have also made it possible to produce membranes with better-defined pore sizes, leading to improved process yields and filtration selectivity.
Given the constant evolution of the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry and thus biomanufacturing, processing technologies must also constantly evolve. For TFF, the strong demand for single-use technologies and the emergence of novel therapeutic molecules requiring enclosed processing (e.g., antibody-drug conjugates) highlighted the limitations of the conventional open, flat-sheet cassette design, according to Bulpin. “We expect increased use of fully enclosed TFF devices that still offer the scalability and performance of cassettes,” he states.
For Bulpin, one exciting solution in development is an enclosed, high-performance TFF device format that does not require external holders for use, thus dramatically simplifying installation and removal. The new enclosed devices also come pre-sterilized, thus eliminating the need for flushing of storage solutions and sanitization, thereby significantly reducing cleaning time and buffer usage.
Serway would like to emphasize the advances in TFF devices using hollow fibers with the design needed to more effectively handle bioprocess fluids containing nanoparticles and cells, such as Spectrum’s 3D TFF (TFDF) device for cell-perfusion applications. “In addition to being pre-sterilized, hollow fibers perform under lower pressures and are easier to set up/use compared to cassette technology. They also outperform other TFF technologies due to their flow dynamics,” he explains.
Both Sharma and Marino are interested in developments that further facilitate continuous processing. “With bioreactor output increasing 5-10X in terms of volumetric productivity and titers, the same cell culture capacity is now being reached in a fraction of the floor space and is acting as a constraint for further processing. Current TFF technology can be improved upon to be used in perfusion mode so that high product quality/quantity can be achieved by maintaining homogeneity, providing for complete glycosylation, avoiding aggregate formation and deterioration, and enabling the use of low expression systems during development,” he explains.
Sharma further asserts that “continuous manufacturing is the new vision in biomanufacturing, so molding TFF to adapt to the continuous scenario is the new challenge.” To address this need, GE introduced AKTA readyflux, a single-use, automated TFF system that reduces operator dependency and adds consistency to the process.
Diafiltration is one important gap in the technology portfolio for a truly continuous bioprocess, according to Marino. Pall is currently developing a product to address this need. “The Cadence Inline Diafiltration device addresses this gap for the biopharmaceutical industry by completing the product/technology offering for the realization of continuous final formulation and brings manufacturers another step closer to the realization of an end-to-end integrated continuous bioprocessing platform,” he says.
Future needs
In fact, one of the biggest applications for TFF in the future will be in continuous processes. “I expect the use of SPTFF to become more widespread as the shift to continuous processing takes place,” Marino states. “Single-use TFF will be the future for clarification and concentration as an alternative to centrifugation in continuous bioprocessing, reducing capex expenses and improving process economies, as well as conserving water and reducing cleaning and validation costs,” agrees Sharma.
Bulpin adds that “fully enclosed, single-use TFF assemblies have the potential to dramatically change the way the technology is used in clinical and small manufacturing scale.” He also expects continued strong interest in using TFF for high viscosity formulations. There will also be a need for smaller-scale TFF devices than what is currently available in a truly scalable format for the processing of drugs for smaller population diseases and cell therapies, where the volume of product available for process development is too small for the existing TFF devices, according to Marino.

Ohio has reported yet another one-day spike in coronavirus cases as pandemic figures continue to rise day-by-day. The Health Department announced 987 cases on Friday, a figure not seen since April when the state was mass testing prisons. The daily number reflects tests done within the past 36 hours, but could include people with symptoms dating back several days. The spike comes as the average age of Ohioans getting the disease has dropped to around 42. Gov. Mike DeWine says Ohioans must continue to be vigilant about social distancing, mask-wearing and hand-washing.
Police solve the case of a girl abducted, raped, killed in 1982
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Columbus police say they have solved the nearly four-decade-old case of an 8-year-old girl abducted on the way home from school, then raped and killed. Authorities say the new investigative technique known as genetic genealogy testing led them to suspect Harold Warren Jarrell, who is now deceased. Columbus Cryptocurrency News Police announced the identification of Jarrell as the killer of 8-year-old Kelly Prosser at a Friday news conference. The girl was abducted on Sept. 20, 1982, and her body discovered in a Madison County cornfield two days later. Genetic genealogy testing allows investigators to trace suspects through family trees via DNA.
Rayshard Brooks struggled in system but didn't hide his past
ATLANTA (AP) — In his final months before he was killed by police outside an Atlanta Wendy's, Rayshard Brooks didn’t hide his history. In a video interview with the advocacy group Reconnect, Brooks talked openly of his prison time. Columbus Press Release Distribution He described a cycle of job rejection and shame. He talked of a system that takes millions of Americans, many of them Black like him, away from their families and treats them more like animals than individuals. Family and friends say when he died June 12, he was finally gaining firmer footing. He'd been working and taking care of his wife, three daughters and stepson. People describe him as a happy family man, always willing to be silly to make others laugh.
Mother files suit over son's suicide in Ohio county jail
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (AP) — The mother of a 20-year-old man who killed himself at an Ohio county jail has sued the sheriff's office claiming his suicide threats were ignored. The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in federal court in Columbus. Columbus Stock Market The lawsuit says Scott Coldren was sentenced in February to 30 days in the Ross County Jail for violating probation for a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia conviction. M. Shawn Dingus, Coldren's mother's attorney, says Coldren told her on the phone at a probation office he would kill himself if taken to jail. Messages seeking comment were left Friday with a law firm representing the Ross County sheriff.
U.S. Supreme Court move ends relaxed Ohio signature rules
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court has denied an effort by Ohio ballot campaigns to win access to more flexible signature-gathering rules during the coronavirus pandemic. The high court denied the campaigns’ application without comment Thursday. That leaves in place a decision by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals blocking relaxed restrictions on the signatures ordered by a lower court. Backers of the voting rights package suspended their campaign last week. Thursday’s decision gives little leeway to the remaining campaigns promoting a minimum wage increase and marijuana decriminalization ahead of the state’s now-unchanged signature deadline of June 30.
PENCE VISIT-OHIO
Pence says US economy bouncing back despite troubling signs
LORDSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence says the nation’s economy is rebounding well from the coronavirus pandemic. Pence says most states are now seeing their cases stabilize or decline. He says the positive signs are outweighing the rising outbreaks in several southern U.S. states. Those outbreaks are causing some states and companies to pull back their reopening plans as measures indicate the virus is making a comeback. Columbus Political News Pence is Ohio on Thursday for the unveiling of a new electric pickup truck that will be built by a start-up company near Youngstown. The truck will be made at a former General Motors factory closed last year.
'Worry about your grandparents': Ohio youth see virus surge
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohioans were cautioned Thursday to return to being vigilant about social distancing, mask-wearing and hand-washing, after cases of COVID-19 hit their highest mark since mid-April. According to figures from the Ohio Department of Health, the latest round of cases disproportionately struck younger Ohioans, with 60% being reported among people 20 to 49. The average age of Ohioans getting the disease once thought to be a particular threat to the elderly has now dropped to 42. Republican Gov. Mike DeWine called Thursday’s numbers, including 892 new cases and 17 more deaths, “chilling.” Increased testing doesn't entirely explain the increase.
Ohio Supreme Court upholds administrative foreclosures
CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that a foreclosure process that sells homes without compensating owners for their equity is legal. At issue before the court was a process known as administrative foreclosures, according to the Ohio Center for Investigative Journalism in an article transmitted via cleveland.com. Elliot Feltner, a Cleveland landowner, sued the Cuyahoga County Board of Revision in 2018 arguing that the process was an unconstitutional government seizure without compensation. Columbus Business News The court rejected Feltner’s argument “because the board of revision did not patently and unambiguously lack jurisdiction when it proceeded in the foreclosure action at issue.”
Father, adult son killed in separate Toledo shootings
A Toledo man was fatally shot in a parking lot two days after his father was killed in another shooting in the city. But authorities say it’s not yet known if the slayings are connected. Police responding to reports of shots fired on Wednesday afternoon found 19-year-old James Smith Jr. wounded in the parking lot. He was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead there a short time later. His 39-year-old father, James Smith Sr., was killed Monday night in a shooting at the Ravine Park Village housing complex that also left another city man dead. Motives for both shootings remain under investigation.

Venezuela, the Present as Struggle: Voices from the Bolivarian Revolution
Cira Pascual Marquina
Availability: Print on Demand, Firm Sale, 2-4 weeks for delivery.
RRP $56.99 | 4% OFF | SAVE $2.28
Description - Venezuela, the Present as Struggle: Voices from the Bolivarian Revolution by Cira Pascual Marquina
"Today more than ever, we need to listen to critical voices from the Venezuelan grassroots, and this is exactly what Venezuela, the Present as Struggle gives us. Cira Pascual Marquina and Chris Gilbert have gathered the tools we need to navigate the treacherous straits between state and movements, economic crisis and sanctions, and to chart a radical course toward socialism."
-George Ciccariello-Maher, author, Building the Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela
Venezuela has been the stuff of frontpage news extravaganzas, especially since the death of Hugo Chavez. With predictable bias, mainstream media focus on violent clashes between opposition and government, coup attempts, hyperinflation, U.S. sanctions, and massive immigration. What is less known, however, is the story of what the Venezuelan people - especially the Chavista masses - do and think in these times of social emergency. Denying us their stories comes at a high price to people everywhere, because the Chavista bases are the real motors of the Bolivarian revolution. This revolutionary grassroots movement still aspires to the communal path to socialism that Chavez refined in his last years. Venezuela, the Present as Struggle is an eloquent testament to their lives.
Comprised of a series of compelling interviews conducted by Cira Pascual Marquina, professor at the Bolivarian University, and contextualized by author Chris Gilbert, the book seeks to open a window on grassroots Chavismo itself in the wake of Chavez's death. Feminist and housing activists, communards, organic intellectuals, and campesinos from around the country speak up in their own voices, defending the socialist project and pointing to what they see as revolutionary solutions to Venezuela's current crisis. If the Venezuelan government has shown an impressive capacity to resist imperialism, it is the Chavista grassroots movement, as this book shows, that actually defends socialism as the only coherent project of national liberation.

A tiny home was stolen from a property in the Fraser Canyon as thieves made away with just about everything on the property in a brazen Christmas Day theft. (Submitted photo)
Tiny home plucked off B.C. property in brazen theft over Christmas
Emelie Peacock
Jan. 7, 2021 1:30 a.m.
After a week of police work and a family’s plea over social media, a tiny home stolen from a property in the Fraser Canyon has been recovered 100 kilometres north of the area, in Lillooet.
The theft happened on Christmas Day from a property near Boston Bar. Thieves used a U-Haul truck to cart away the entire tiny home and its contents, and just about anything else that could be stolen from the property.
After receiving a tip on New Years Eve about a suspect attempting to sell a tiny home to the tipster, police stated that they had recovered upwards of $80,000 worth of stolen property from a Lillooet home.
Boston Bar RCMP connected with neighbouring police detachments to track down the 8’x17’ tiny home. When a person reported that someone had attempted to sell them a tiny home in Lilloett, police were able to act.
A man was taken into custody and released. On Jan. 3, police returned to his property with a search warrant, seizing various items related to the home. A generator reported stolen from Coldstream in the North Okanagan was also recovered.
A 48-year-old Lilloet man faces charges in relation to the theft. His first court appearance is set for March 9 in Lillooet Provincial Court.

Domestic violence charity turns survivors’ stories of terror into messages of triumph
Loretta Ryan, presenter for ABC Radio Brisbane and Queensland proudly helps domestic violence survivors turned authors, who have penned their stories launch their book titled ‘Terror to Triumph Rebuilding Life After Domestic Violence’ on Saturday 24th November 1pm at Clovely Estate, Red Hill Queensland.
‘Loretta said, “I have heard about Broken to Brilliant’s work and I wanted to personally help, meet and congratulate the authors and Charity Directors on their life changing book project”.
Charity-Founders Andrea and Kate Smith, said, “When we saw the impact our first book, Broken to Brilliant, had on people’s lives – how the words breathed hope into people’s hearts. How the power of people’s stories created ripples of recovery and repair – we could not turn away and stop these ripples of healing. There had to be a second book”
Publishing Consultant, Belinda Pollard, Small Blue Dog Publishing, said, “It has been a privilege to be entrusted with each of the 12 authors stories to read and edit their heartfelt words”.
“The 11 women and 1 man have penned powerful stories of adversity, each with their own message of resilience and steps for recovery”, Belinda said.
Domestic violence survivors, soon to be anonymous published authors in the book Terror to Triumph are bravely stepping forward to share their experiences at the book launch.
Author and domestic violence survivor Amber said, “Sharing my story wasn’t easy, releasing it into the world with honesty and vulnerability for others to see was scary and confronting; but out of that rawness comes new life and hope and an even greater fortitude”
Author and domestic violence survivor Fiona said, “If nothing else, this journey has shown me that we are all stronger than we can ever imagine and finding my tribe has been a great blessing”.
Author and domestic violence survivor Colin said, “Breaking the shame of silence was hard, I didn't expect my journey in recovery to be even harder”
Author and domestic violence survivor Jill, said, “It was worth revisiting those years and reflecting on what I have achieved in order to guide another survivor on their journey of recovery. I was nervous but proud to share my story in the book”.
Broken to Brilliant LTD ™ is an Australian Not for Profit Charity where domestic violence survivors share stories of overcoming adversity to mentor other survivors to create a new chapter in their life.
The third book will be completed, published and launched within 12 months with funding from the Community Sector Banking, Australia’s specialist not-for-profit banking service.
Though the Give a Book Campaign, the Charity Broken to Brilliant donates copies of their two books to Domestic Violence Refuges to give hope, courage, inspiration and direction to domestic violence survivors.
You can support domestic violence survivors to rebuild their lives by Giving a copy of the books to services that support domestic violence survivors, including women's refuges.

A resilient Davos
Paddy McGuinness
Senior Advisor, London
It is a hard truth that it is State action which is most likely to cause catastrophic damage to critical national infrastructure and thus to wider business.
A noticeable difference at this year’s Davos, apart from the absence of the shutdown American Government contingent and of European leaders kept home by populism, is an emphasis on practical business resilience in the face of the many current uncertainties and its implication for how to be a responsible business.
The myriad Davos sessions and billboards on artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain (I wish I had a Swiss Frank for each of those) and automation only make sense if the networked technologies underneath them function reliably.
One much cited example of work on this resilience agenda is the World Economic Forum’s own center for cyber security, announced in years past but increasingly made real through the development of a skilled team. A driver for this effort is WEF’s own account of the top ten global risks for business on the basis of a poll of business leaders where the fourth global risk is seen as cyber-crime/fraud and the fifth is cyber attacks. In summary it is to foster global governance, stimulate work against cyber crime, facilitate global cyber crisis management, anticipate threats and risks, and develop the required global workforce.
This is commendable but risks only addressing part of the problem. The World Economic Forum as an organization and its attendees as a community will find it easy to agree on the commodity criminal threat which afflicts all businesses. Agreeing how to counter the action of States is more problematic for WEF as it strives to avoid taking sides (not least because those sides are present). It is a hard truth that it is State action which is most likely to cause catastrophic damage to critical national infrastructure and thus to wider business. A Davos discussion of data sharing in order to reduce harm from cyber events was high on aspiration but low on the practicalities of how this sharing might be made real given the lack of trust. If there was discussion of how business might call States out in order to change their behaviours it was muted.
The resilience theme spread significantly beyond the purely operational to the reputational. There were a number of fringe events on how to be a responsible business in the digital age with a focus on the future of work, the carbon footprint of online services and protecting the vulnerable from being exploited online. For me the strongest of these made the connection to cyber security where, if a service which is material to the well-being of the client or wider society is to be delivered online, it must be secure in an enduring way: secure by default.
US-UK Relations under Biden
As the world considers what a Joe Biden victory means for them, Anthony Gardner – former US Ambassador to the European Union and Brunswick Group Senior Advisor – looks at the future of US-UK relations and concludes that the bilateral relationship “will not only remain strong but in reality will be stronger” as sovereign interests have rarely been so aligned in a hostile world.

Lewis Ludlam reveals he almost quit rugby before making England World Cup squad
Ludlam is heading to Japan as one of five back row options for England.
World Cup-bound Lewis Ludlam was considering his options outside of rugby a year ago as he reflected on a career that was in danger of fading away.
Ludlam is among the surprise inclusions in England’s squad for Japan 2019 after an accomplished Test debut against Wales at Twickenham on Sunday propelled him into the final 31 ahead of Brad Shields.
A June camp was his first recognition by Eddie Jones yet after expecting to be jettisoned each time a new training group was announced, the openside flanker is instead heading to the Far East as one of five back row options.
At the last World Cup, he was even picking several of his new England team-mates in his fantasy team for the tournament.
But after starring at the World Rugby Under-20 Championship in 2015 when he was named his team’s most valuable player, his progress stalled back at his club Northampton due to a combination of injury and the competition from seasoned internationals.
“It has been a bizarre seven weeks. This time last year was like almost one last shot at it for me, trying to fight for another Saints contract,” Ludlam said.
“There were a lot of back rows and (director of rugby) Chris Boyd said to me when he came in that he could give me an opportunity but he didn’t really see where I fitted into his plans.
Ludlam shone on his England debut against Wales on Sunday (Nigel French/PA)
“I didn’t even know if I would get a contract renewal. I had one year left. I hadn’t played more than a handful of games since my the junior World Cup.
“You see a lot of stuff on social media – ‘Where’s Ludlam? What’s he doing? Hasn’t played since the junior World Cup.’ Chris Boyd said the same when he came in.
“It crossed my mind – what am I going to do post-rugby? But I couldn’t think of anything I wanted to do other than play rugby.
“Part of last year was about trying to play my way into a good highlights reel to get a gig at a smaller club than Northampton or potentially abroad. I was always thinking about other options.
Ludlam’s displays for Northampton has catapulted him into Eddie Jones’ World Cup squad (Nigel French/PA)
“But reading the stuff about me on social media made me want to prove people wrong and I’m just happy I got the opportunity to do that.
“Chris has given me that confidence. He told me to play my natural game and enjoy it. For a coach to put that sort of confidence into you as a young player really helped me push on.
“Eddie said exactly the same to me on Sunday – enjoy it, be natural, and the rest will follow.”
Apart from the maturity, resilience and physicality shown against Wales, Ludlam’s first Test appearance was notable for the passion evident when singing the national anthem.
He comes from a family of mixed heritage – dad Arron is of Palestinian and Egyptian origin while mum Dorinda hails from a Guyanese background.
It was glimpsing his father in the crowd at Twickenham and seeing him perform God Save The Queen with such gusto that inspired Ludlam.
“I’m not naturally very emotional. I like to get myself worked up before a game and play off that emotion, but not ever like that.” the 23-year-old said.
“Seeing my dad in the crowd while singing the anthems gave me goosebumps, gave that extra little bit of something. I wanted to sing it that little bit louder too.”

Great Paris 'hoods: Around the rue de Belleville
10/3/2012 — By Meg Zimbeck
Meg Zimbeck
Le Baratin restaurant
A funny thing happened last year while I was living on rue de Belleville. The street suddenly became hip. Not because of me, of course, but because Gourmet's correspondent in France, Alex Lobrano, penned a lengthy article spotlighting the lesser-known quarters of Eastern Paris. He wrote about Belleville with respect, or at the very least curiosity, and it was a source of some local pride. But it was the source of some anxiety, too. Would our cafés be overrun with tourists? Would we still be able to book a table at our favorite small bistro?
I needn't have worried, because the fact remains that very few visitors are willing to venture "all the way" to Belleville. Never mind that Belleville is only a ten-minute subway ride from the center. The perception remains that this neighborhood is far away. It also has a reputation for being filthy, a rep that dates back to Belleville's industrial days and that has persisted throughout waves of twentieth-century immigration. The accusation is not entirely untrue—sidewalks and garbage bins do, in outlying areas, receive less city attention than in the postcard center.
Some people also stay away from Belleville because it doesn't feel like Paris. On this hill, the geraniums have been replaced by graffiti, and bakeries are outnumbered by Chinese barbecue. The local faces reflect the country's immigration past: Greeks and Armenians from the 1920s, German Jews from the 1940s, Algerians and Tunisians from the 1960s, and most recently (and visibly), the Chinese. This sort of diversity makes some travelers feel insecure, but I can testify that Belleville is a safe and friendly place.
Belleville is unabashedly populaire—of the people—with a strong sense of working-class pride. Its legacy as a hotbed of rebellion and creativity survives today. The area is packed with musicians and there are more artists working here than in any other Paris quarter. (It's no surprise that the annual Portes Ouvertes festival is held here.)
To discover this neighborhood, I recommend taking the subway line 11 to Pyrénées. As you begin to descend the rue de Belleville, keep your eyes open for a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower twinkling in the distance. One of the first sights is on the southern side of the street at 72 rue de Belleville. Here, a plaque marks birthplace of the Edith Piaf, subject of last-year's Academy Award-winning film La Vie en Rose. Unveiled by cabaret star Maurice Chevalier, the plaque reads "On the steps of this house was born in the greatest destitution Edith Piaf whose world would later take the world by storm."
A few steps further down the hill, you'll see the rue de Rébeval snaking off on your right. This up-and-coming street is home to a growing number of good restaurants, my favorite of which is Le Chapeau Melon. Run by Olivier Camus, this wine shop and restaurant serves outstanding meals on Tuesday through Saturday nights. The four-course menu €29 ($40) offers no choices, so be prepared to put yourself in the capable hands of the chef. Pick a bottle of vin naturel (untreated organic wine) from the shelf, or ask them to pour you something by the glass (92 rue Rébeval, 19th arrondissement, 011-33/1-42-02-68-60). Zoë Bouillon, a cheap and cheerful lunch place, is further down the street at 66 rue Rébeval. This brightly-colored soup bar also serves fresh salads and desserts, along with wine and good coffee.
Coming back to the rue de Belleville, cross the street and then make an immediately left to find one of the best bistros in Paris. Le Baratin is a poorly kept secret that's frequented by journalists, chefs on their day off, and in-the-know food travelers. Their two-course lunch at €16 ($22) is one of the best deals in the city. Dinner a la carte is also outstanding—traditional bistro fare tweaked by the creative hand of Raquel Carena—but be prepared to spend closer to €45 ($61) per person. The bill at night has a tendency to climb because of their exceptional selection of natural wines (3 rue Jouye-Rouve, 20th arrondissement, 011-33/1-43-49-39-70).
Continue south along the rue Jouye-Rouve and you'll hit the Parc de Belleville, one of the city's more interesting parks. The panoramic view from the top (at rue Piat) is what earned this neighborhood the name of belle vue. In good weather, the park is filled with people reading, kissing, playing soccer, eating a picnic, or simply gazing out over the horizon. It's a long and sloping park, descending all the way to the bottom of the hill and dotted with fountains and flowering trees along the way.
When you exit the park (after a short nap in the grass), you'll want to check out large-scale murals in the place Fréhel at the intersection of rue de Belleville and rue Julien Lacroix. The one on the left was created in 1993 by Ben Vautier and depicts two workers lowering a giant blackboard that reads 'Il faut se méfier des mots' (beware of words). The other work—a painting by Jean Le Gac that's several stories tall—portrays a detective who's looking for clues along the rue Julien Lacroix.
Also in this place is the newly cool Culture Rapide, a bar that hosts an English-language Spoken Word night every other Monday (103 rue Julien Lacroix, 20th arrondissement, 011-33/1-46-36-08-04).
Continuing toward the bottom of the rue de Belleville, you'll see a pack of Chinese eateries and a good number of divey cafés. The most historic of these is La Vielleuse (2 rue de Belleville), but my favorite is Aux Folies. This building at 8 rue de Belleville used to host performances by Edith Piaf, Maurice Chevalier, and other stars of the cabaret scene. Its lively terrace today serves as a microcosm of the neighborhood, mixing old-timers, young hipsters, and plenty of middle-aged "bobos". Sitting here on a sunny day, drinking a cheap demi (small beer) and watching the motley procession of people along the rue de Belleville—this has come to feel utterly like Paris, and also a bit like home.

1997 Honda Integra specs, Engine size 1.8l., Fuel type Gasoline, Drive wheels FF, Transmission Gearbox Manual
The Honda Integra, a car sold as an Acura in North America and as a Honda elsewhere, is a sporty front-wheel drive vehicle sold both as a sedan and hatchback. In the Acura lineup it was the smallest, least expensive model, designed to offer a competitor to vehicles like the Volkswagen Golf GTI, which was the most well known and popular "hot hatch" of the late 1980s when the Integra was introduced. Although a sedan was available for the first three generations of the Integra, it was dropped when the vehicle transitioned to its fourth generation "DC5" platform, sold as the RSX in North America. The Acura TSX now takes the Integra sedan's spot in the lineup.
Used Honda Integra
Under the Honda lineup, the Integra was near the middle, slotting above smaller cars such as the Honda City, the Honda Civic, and the Honda Logo. The Honda Integra was considered to be mid-sized car by Japanese standards.
As of 2007, the fourth-generation Integra has been discontinued in North America and Australia, but is still sold in its home market of Japan. It was assembled in Sayama, Japan.
This vehicle debuted in Japan in 1985 as the Honda Quint Integra before going on sale a year later in North America as part of the then-new Acura lineup. Three and five-door hatchback bodies were available, with a 1.6L DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine powering both. The engine was the vehicle's most publicized feature, as DOHC, multi-valve engines were anything but commonplace in entry-level models at the time. The 5-door hatchback model was also sold in Australia but was rebadged as the Rover 416i.
The Integra was based on the less-sporty Civic, although it featured a small list of key upgrades over its lesser stablemate to help merit a price increase over the CRX Si, which was otherwise the sportiest compact vehicle being offered by Honda/ Acura; enlarged 4-wheel disc brakes replaced the small front-disc/ rear-drum setup used by the Civic and CRX, suspension calibration was re-worked, better tires were used and a 113hp DOHC fuel injected 16-valve engine was used in place of the SOHC unit from the CRX Si. Combined with sleeker styling and a nicer interior, buyers were effectively convinced that the Integra was worth the extra money, and nearly 228,000 units were sold during the four year run of the first generation model.

I sat at the giant wooden table that my dad had made to fit in my parents’ spacious kitchen area. My mom had decorated the house beautifully for Christmas—large ornaments, holly, and hurricane candles.adorned the oversized table. The babies were in bed, and I was grateful for some quiet time with my mom and dad.
I opened up the laptop and asked them if they would tell me again what it was like visiting the place of Jesus’s birth. They had made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land last year, and they both put their reading down immediately, eager to recall the special trip.
In Bethlehem, they explained, people used to live in caves with their animals until they had saved enough money to build a house on top of the cave. A second story, an upper room, would also be put in for visiting guests and relatives.
Dad, having returned from his bedroom with a big stack of pictures, looked through them carefully, searching for pictures of the Church of the Nativity, which had been built right on top of the cave where Jesus had been born.
Mom continued. “At the time of the census, the city was packed, and the inhabitants of Bethlehem either had their own families staying in their upper rooms or they had rented them out. So when Joseph went door to door, there honestly was no room—no one was being mean. Finally, someone let Joseph and Mary stay in their cave below with the animals for the night.”
Mom adjusted her glasses. “I always thought the cave would have been ten feet from the door, but it must’ve been one hundred feet back from the opening of the cave.” Being so deep the cave would have provided the Holy Family with protection at least from the elements. “Mary was given privacy in the back where maybe she could’ve started a fire.” Mom stopped and she and I both looked at each other and shook our heads. “Could you imagine?” she asked. No, no indeed—Our Lady had been such a trooper.
Dad had pulled out a picture of the place where Jesus was born. “The spot where Christ was born is marked here by a big brass star, in what looks like a fireplace. About six feet away is where the manger was.” I looked at the photograph and was floored and so grateful that the faithful over the centuries had been so careful about honoring and remembering the exact place where those events had occurred.
It was all so ordinary and yet it was the stage for one of the most outrageous acts of divine Love in all of history. What a beautiful God we have, being born in a cave, and what a beautiful identity we have in Him. Come, baby Jesus, come and bring peace and true humility to our too-proud hearts that we might be freed to love only You this Christmastime.

Death at a Funeral (2007) Blu-ray Review!
Victor Medina
BLU-RAY SPECS
ASPECT RATIO: 1.85:1 enhanced for widescreen televisions
AUDIO: English 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital, French 5.1 Dolby Digital
SUBTITLES: English Subtitles for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired, Spanish
AUDIO COMMENTARY: Two commentaries, one with director Frank Oz, one with writer Dean Craig and actors Alan Tudyk and Andy Nyman.
SPECIAL FEATURES: Gag reel
A dysfunctional family reuniting for their father’s funeral must face their personal issues, an angry little person, selfish relatives, and a naked man.
Starring: Ewen Bremner, Keeley Hawes, Peter Dinklage, Matthew MacFadyen, Kris Marshall, Alan Tudyk, Daisy Donovan
Director: Frank Oz
Screenplay: Dean Craig
Director Frank Oz has had an uneven history with comedies: for every Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, we got a Bowfinger. While Death at a Funeral has some nice moments, the whole tone is slightly off, and not in a funny way. Off-kilter comedies can be great, but Funeral doesn’t quite deliver on a great premise.
British comedy has different sensibilities than its American counterparts, which usually means they are funnier, but here, all of the great parts just do not work as a whole. Tudyk steals the show, and Dinklage is outstanding as usual. Daisy Donovan is funny as well, but overall the film feels like a bunch of nice bits mashed together. As a Frank Oz fan, I was really hoping to love this film. I just could not.
While it fluctuates between screwball and dark comedy, I also had an issue with the R-rated level of profanity. Usually an F-bomb does not bother me, and in the right moment can be funny, but the film is profane at all the wrong moments. The filmmakers would have been better served going for a PG-13 film, as the salty language added nothing to the proceedings.
There are many who absolutely love this film. I can see why: many of the characters are well-developed and often funny. With comedy being so subjective, there may be those who overlook the flaws and enjoy the film more than I did. If you really want to appreciate the film, try watching the wretched 2010 American remake with Chris Rock. It makes the original look like a masterpiece.
The video image is sharp, with bright colors and only some evidence of film grain. It is not a perfect image, but it is not distracting. The audio gives the dialouge priority in the center channels, and the music rarely overpowers it. There is a nice balance between the two that makes for a top-notch presentation.
The gag reel is pretty good, and at times was funnier than the movie in stretches. The commentaries are superb; Frank Oz is engaging and provides some nice insight. The Tudyk and Nyman commentary is very funny; as a Tudyk fan, I found it to be a real bonus to listen to him talk outside of a role.
BUY IT, REDBOX IT, OR NETFLIX IT?
MOVIE: B
VIDEO: A-
AUDIO: A
EXTRAS: B
Death at a Funeral is a mixed bag. It has so much going for it, including funny actors and a great director. However, an uneven script cannot decide between screwball, heartfelt, and black comedy, and it becomes obvious upon viewing the mix does not work. Casual viewers will enjoy it, just beware of the heavy language. It warrants a rent, while (or whilst) British comedy fans will probably want to add it to their collection.
Death at a Funeral is now available on Blu-ray from MGM/Fox Home Entertainment.

One X-Files Character Is Finally Getting An Origin Story In Season 11
Laura Hurley
Published: Oct. 12. 2017 2:51 PM
The X-Files is returning to television for a brand new batch of episodes in the not-too-distant future, and the trailer promises to deliver plenty of Mulder and Scully back in action. While we do know that a lot of focus in Season 11 will be on their absent son, it turns out that another character from The X-Files over the years will get a lot more focus in the new season. The long-suffering Walter Skinner will get more of an origin story than ever before. Actor Mitch Pileggi revealed some of what's in store, saying this:
You're going to find out a lot more about his past. Fans will find out who he is, where he comes from and why he is the way he is.
Walter Skinner has been around The X-Files from the very first season, and longtime fans have gotten to know at least a little bit about him. He fought in Vietnam when he was 18-years-old, and his experiences there shaped him in the rest of his life. Skinner also had a wife named Sharon, and he had the unfortunate habit of getting in over his head with bad people despite his intentions to do good.
At times an ally and at times an antagonist to Mulder and Scully, Skinner has been a key part of the series to date. Judging by Mitch Pileggi's comments to TVLine, we'll find out much more about the Skinman in Season 11, which should be great news for fans who didn't get as much Skinner as they wanted out of the six episodes of Season 10.
In fact, The X-Files Season 11 is giving Skinner an origin episode of his own. The sixth episode of the 10-episode season will be all about Skinner and the man he is when not attempting to keep Mulder and Scully under control. The trailer points toward some strife as the intrepid agents lose their trust in him, but Pileggi promises that Skinner ultimately "is their champion."
After all that Skinner did for the dynamic duo, ranging from selling his soul to the Cigarette-Smoking Man to try and save Scully from her cancer to pledging his support for the X-Files unit after Mulder's abduction and Scully's pregnancy, it will probably take something pretty huge for him to lose their trust. Dealings with the Cigarette-Smoking Man are a pretty solid way for folks to alienate Mulder and Scully, as Scully even turned on Monica Reyes in Season 10 when Monica revealed she'd been pressured to help the CSM after Scully left the FBI at the end of Season 9. Incidentally, Monica will be back in Season 11, so maybe we'll get to see her and Skinner together as a pair of former trusted allies whose loyalties are in question.
Personally, the news that we're getting more Skinner in Season 11 has me all the more excited about what's to come. Skinner has been one of the most intriguing characters of the series, and I'll admit that I laugh whenever he's faced with Mulder and Scully dragging him into their ridiculousness over and over again after the past 20+ years. More Skinner can only be a good things.
The X-Files will return for Season 11 at some point in 2018. Hopefully it will answer some of the biggest questions we're still asking about everything that has happened over the years. For what you can watch while we wait for more X, take a gander at our fall TV guide.

Transformers as Two-Port Devices
Section 8.5 explains the principle of operation of the ideal transformer. The relationship governing the terminal voltages
was found to be
are the number of turns in the associated coils and
is either
depending on the relative orientation of the windings; i.e., whether the reference direction of the associated fluxes is the same or opposite, respectively.
We shall now consider ratios of current and impedance in ideal transformers, using the two-port model shown in Figure 8.6.1. By virtue of the reference current directions and polarities chosen in this figure, the power delivered by the source
, and the power absorbed by the load
. Assuming the transformer windings have no resistance, and assuming the magnetic flux is perfectly contained within the core, the power absorbed by the load must equal the power provided by the source; i.e.,
. Thus, we have1
We can develop an impedance relationship for ideal transformers as follows. Let
be the input impedance of the transformer; that is, the impedance looking into port 1 from the source. Thus, we have
In Figure 8.6.1,
is the the output impedance of port 2; that is, the impedance looking out port 2 into the load. Therefore,
(once again the minus sign is a result of our choice of sign conventions in Figure 8.6.1). Substitution of this result into the above equation yields
Thus, we have demonstrated that a transformer scales impedance in proportion to the square of the turns ratio
. Remarkably, the impedance transformation depends only on the turns ratio, and is independent of the relative direction of the windings (
Figure 8.6.1: The transformer as a two-port circuit de-vice.
The relationships developed above should be viewed as AC expressions, and are not normally valid at DC. This is because transformers exhibit a fundamental limitation in their low-frequency performance. To see this, first recall Faraday’s Law:
If the magnetic flux
is not time-varying, then there is no induced electric potential, and subsequently no linking of the signals associated with the coils. At very low but non-zero frequencies, we encounter another problem that gets in the way – magnetic saturation. To see this, note we can obtain an expression for

depends on the frequency of
. If the frequency of
is very low, then
can become very large. Since the associated cross-sectional areas of the coils are presumably constant, this means that the magnetic field becomes very large. The problem with that is that most practical high-permeability materials suitable for use as transformer cores exhibit magnetic saturation; that is, the rate at which the magnetic field is able to increase decreases with increasing magnetic field magnitude (see Section 7.16). The result of all this is that a transformer may work fine at (say) 1 MHz, but at (say) 1 Hz the transformer may exhibit an apparent loss associated with this saturation. Thus, practical transformers exhibit highpass frequency response.
It should be noted that the highpass behavior of practical transistors can be useful. For example, a transformer can be used to isolate an undesired DC offset and/or low-frequency noise in the circuit attached to one coil from the circuit attached to the other coil.
The DC-isolating behavior of a transformer also allows the transformer to be used as a balun, as illustrated in Figure 8.6.2. A balun is a two-port device that transforms a single-ended (“unbalanced”) signal – that is, one having an explicit connection to a datum (e.g., ground) – into a differential (“balanced”) signal, for which there is no explicit connection to a datum. Differential signals have many benefits in circuit design, whereas inputs and outputs to devices must often be in single-ended form. Thus, a common use of transformers is to effect the conversion between single-ended and differential circuits. Although a transformer is certainly not the only device that can be used as a balun, it has one very big advantage, namely bandwidth.
Figure 8.6.2: Coulomb’s Law describes the force perceived by pairs of charged particles.. Image used with permission (CC BY SA 3.0; Spinning Spark).
The minus signs in this equation are a result of the referencepolarity and directions indicated in Figure 8.6.1. These are more-or-less standard in electrical two-port theory (see “Additional Reading”at the end of this section), but are certainly not the only reason-able choice. If you see these expressions without the minus signs,it probably means that a different combination of reference directions/polarities is in effect.

Lake Ontario 2017 Water Levels Only 4 centimetres Above 1973 Monthly Maximum. But well above average. Lake Deluge Exceeds Leaf Drought !
See May/June 2017 updates at end of this post.
See 2019 review here
Some records are made to be broken, whether its the Leaf's Stanley Cup drought or Lake Ontario flooding. At right are the Leaf logos over the years. See the top right logo they had in 1952? And see the current bottom right logo? Old is new again with the logo, right? Same thing with maximum water levels in Lake Ontario.
Back in 1952, from March to June monthly Lake Ontario levels hit records. In 1973 those April and May records were broken .. April 1973 was just 3 cm above May 1952 average, and May 1973 was a measley 1 cm above May 1952. It has taken 44 years to break the spring records again in 2017.
Below are historical average and maximum Lake Ontario water levels from the Departments of Fisheries and Oceans and Environment and Climate Change:
Lake Ontario Historical Water Levels - Average, Maximum and Minimum Monthly Elevations (right y-xis is elevation
above sea level, left y-axis is depth in metres above reference datum of 74.2 metres).
This is from the April 2017 bulletin available here at this link. The historical average, maximum, and minimum monthly values are shown in the table below (see full table here).
On May 28, 2017 the Lake Ontario Level is 1.69 metres above the reference datum elevation of 74.2 metres, meaning an actual water elevation of 74.2 + 1.69 = 75.79 metres above sea level. Hourly levels can be graphed or tabluated from this site. The graph below shows lake levels generally leveling off and rising slightly in the last weeks of May 2017 (y-axis is the depth above the datum):
Real time Lake Ontario water depth above reference datum of 74.2 metres up to May 28, 2017.
Relative to maximum historical values, the May 28, 2017 depth of 75.69 is 4 centimetres above the previous 1973 May monthly maximum of 75.65, and 4 cm below the previous June monthly maximum of 75.73 m. And 75.69 is just 7 centimetres above the 1952 May average. We visited the Outer Harbour Marina yesterday and levels have flooded the fixed perimeter dock / walkway so that temporary paths to the boat slips have been made - so yes, levels are above average and many fixed shore features have been built for the averages and not the maximum levels.
The current Lake Ontario levels are causing a higher erosion potential further inland with waves nearly undermining the boardwalk near Woodbine Beach as shown in this picture:
Beaches boardwalk erosion with above average Lake Ontario water levels 2017.
Gabion baskets (metal wire cages filled with stone), and armour stone (large boulders), are protecting the boardwalk in the Beaches from encroaching lake levels. Further west at Woodbine Beach "Puddlegeddon" is raging on, interfering with volleyball plans although the puddles are subsiding.
Woodbine Beach Puddle-geddon, Puddle-pocolypse, Puddle-o-rama, Puddle-nado, Puddle-duddle ... umm its a puddle and
Lake Ontario levels are a whopping 4 centimetres higher than a previous maximum monthly value.
While you could say water levels are high for volley ballers who have been playing in the Woodbine Beach league for almost 20 years, the levels are only 4 centimetres above the previous May maximum. So it is not unexpected that in a 100 year monitoring record, you exceed an earlier maximum every so often. That is what statistically is supposed to happen with observations of natural systems. Today's Lake Ontario levels are not significantly above the maximum values 65 years ago in 1952 or 44 years ago in 1973.
Need up to date Lake Ontario levels 24-7? You can call these numbers to get the current reading, and the maximum and minimum in the past 12 hours. That will include any short term effects from wind set-up (seiches) that tilt the lake higher on one side than another cool. Here are the numbers:

"By the end of April, Lake Ontario had risen to levels that haven’t been seen since 1993, and reached near record levels in the first week of May. By May 10 the daily average Lake Ontario water level was 75.80 m, only 2 cm below the highest level ever recorded (1918–2016) at the beginning of June 1952."
Lake Ontario Water Level
Near Woodbine Beach in Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood, the shore erosion has caused the boardwalk to now be fenced-off. Beyond the armour stone, gabion basket and rip rap revetement that has protected some portions of the boardwalk, the shore has washed away and the boardwalk is undermined, suspended and sagging, hence the barriers:
It makes you wonder what is more effective and reliable, the grey infrastructure in the distance (conventional Armour Stone, gabion baskets (not visible below the surface stones), "rip rap" limestone, or the softer treatment of green infrastructure soil and roots in the foreground that has all washed away due to the force of high water and waves. Basically, the boardwalk damage happened beyond where the conventional grey infrastructure ended, where the green infrastructure failed. This experience suggests that old-fashioned grey infrastructure is more reliable and effective at erosion protection than softer revetment. Certainly the green part of the shore was robust for low lake levels and erosion forces, but not strong enough for above average conditions like we see in Spring 2017 on Lake Ontario.
June 24, 2017 Update:
The erosion damage restoration (two layers of armour stone) has been installed along the boardwalk and will provide future erosion protection ... because water level records are made to be broken.
And further west Woodbine Beach has been drying up, and volleyball has returned to larger areas (in the background) now that Lake Ontario water levels are returning to their normal lower elevations. But there is still some evidence of spring 2017 Puddlegeddon.

Prime Minister Trudeau Makes False Statements on Extreme Weather - Says 100 Year Storms Happening Every Few Years Due To Climate Change - Contradicts Environment Canada Scientists and Published Research
Point-Gatineau Flooding in May 1974
Below are my comments sent today to iHeartRADIO given PM Trudeau stated that:
"The frequency of extreme weather events is increasing, and that's related to climate change," the prime minister said. "We're going to have to understand that bracing for a 100-year storm is maybe going to happen every 10 years. Or every few years."
Prime Minister Trudeau states storm frequency is increasing
and ignores issues of land use planning in historical floodplains
when trying to explain flooding in Gatineau in May 2017. Perhaps
our first official "Climate Ken"?
Prime Minister makes false statements in the news article:
http://www.iheartradio.ca/cjad/news/was-climate-change-responsible-for-the-floods-1.2603124
Environment Canada scientists has published rainfall trends in Atmosphere-Ocean in 2014 indicating that we are not having more extreme weather, or more frequent 100-year storms. This is link to the journal abstract which states that " The decreasing regional trends for the 5- to 15-minute duration amounts tend to be located in the St. Lawrence region of southern Quebec and in the Atlantic provinces" :
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/07055900.2014.969677?src=recsys&journalCode=tato20
The misconception that storm intensity or frequency is increasing can be traced back to disproved statements by the insurance industry that confused predictions with past observations as clearly shown here:
https://www.slideshare.net/RobertMuir3/storm-intensity-not-increasing-factual-review-of-engineering-datasets
This work exposed that the media has misreported the facts in the official federal Engineering Climate Datasets. This data - used by engineers to design infrastructure across the country - shows for example that there are twice as many statistically significant DECREASING extreme rainfall trends as increasing ones in southern Ontario. This is the official federal data. My work with Advertising Standards Canada over the past 1 1/2 years has corrected false advertising that storm intensity is increasing. The Prime Minister should educate himself on facts and data before making false statements on storm frequency. Environment Canada has often corrected false reporting by the insurance industry on this topic, for example CBC reporting:
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/more-than-half-of-homeowners-insurance-claims-stem-from-water-damage-broker-says-1.3291111
Or recent reporting in Canadian Underwriter:
http://www.canadianunderwriter.ca/insurance/new-ibc-flood-model-shows-1-8-million-canadian-households-at-very-high-risk-1004006457/
As Environment Canada states regarding the insurance industry "flub" that 40 year storms are happening every 6 years:
Associate Editor’s Note: In the 2012 report Telling the Weather Story, commissioned to the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction by the Insurance Bureau of Canada, Professor Gordon McBean writes: “Weather events that used to happen once every 40 years are now happening once every six years in some regions in the country.” A footnote cites “Environment Canada: Intensity-Duration-Frequency Tables and Graphs.” However, a spokesperson for Environment and Climate Change Canada told Canadian Underwriter that ECCC’s studies “have not shown evidence to support” this statement.
So nobel prize winning scientists have been making up a 'weather story', and the PM has been repeating it.
Many events that are now claimed to be unprecedented and due to climate change are in fact commonplace from a statistical point of view. Even the GO Train flood in Toronto at 2013 was not unprecedented - there was a larger flood 6 weeks before that missed the trains because it happened at night:
http://www.cityfloodmap.com/2015/12/stranded-metrolinx-go-train-avoidable.html
The same train was stranded in the same spot in 1981 when there was less pavement in the Don River watershed and less runoff, as shown in this photo:
http://www.cityfloodmap.com/2017/05/go-train-flooded-in-1981-too-media.html
Engineers, hydrologists, watershed managers, hydraulic engineers/modellers can explain flooding by increased hydrologic stresses (more pavement and more runoff). This is quantifiable and indisputable - here is some example mapping / calculations to show that for Toronto area watersheds:
http://www.cityfloodmap.com/2016/08/urbanization-and-runoff-explain.html
Mississauga-Toronto Flooding in 2013? Burlington flood in 2014? Climate change or a heck of a lot more pavement? Here are some maps to show the dramatic increase in pavement since the mid 1960's in those areas ... and the creeks are not any bigger than they used to be to convey the runoff:
http://www.cityfloodmap.com/2016/08/urbanization-runoff-overland-flow-and.html
Important public policies are being created based on mis-reported rainfall trends. This includes expensive climate mitigation plans and taxes to deal with rainfall intensity increases that have NOT occurred. While cheese-eating high school science teachers are making theoretical connections between temperature (global warming) and water vapour holding capacity/extreme rainfall, the real scientists like those at MIT or Columbia are studying the real science and saying these guesstimates of more extreme weather due to higher temperatures are not playing out in the real observations. This is a recent paper on that topic:
http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~clepore/publications_pdf/grl52319.pdf
Robert Muir, M.A.Sc., P.Eng.
PS - CBC has a nice summary of recurring flooding in Quebec since 1928 at this link
CBC has another great summary from @JudyTrinhCBC showing that this is about poor land use planning decisions (buildings in high risk zones) - 75 % of buildings has a 20% chance of flooding every year being in the 20-year floodplain. Thanks Judy for your stats:
Stats on homes flooded from @ville_gatineau
0 -20 year flood zone: 1428 properties (75% of total) - 20% chance of flooding every year
20 -100 year flood zone: 390 properties - 1-20% chance of flooding every year
outside 100 year flood zone : 70 properties - less than 1% chance of flooding every year
So Prime Minister Trudeau tells us that the storms that affect less than 4% of the properties will happen more often. How about insight on why the other 96% of properties flooded?
Update - after a year of waiting for a response from the PMO on my asking for data to support the PM's statements on past extreme weather trends, I was emailed a response that confused future predictions with past trends. When I pointed the out and asked for information on statements on past trends I was told the PMO's original answer was 'fulsome' - they cc'd the environment minister and closed the file. Environment minister did not respond but did acknowledge the PMO's forwarding of the request on June 1, 2018:
Like The Kinks I'm "Tired of Waiting" and as Mick Jagger sang "I can't get no satisfaction".
The CBC Ombudsman has recently ruled on the accuracy and impartiality of a CBC report on 100 year storm trends and wetland flood mitigation - in a rare decision, it found that CBC violated standards of journalistic integrity when it reported that 100 year storms were increasing and were the cause of more flooding - see details here: https://www.cityfloodmap.com/2019/01/cbc-ombudsman-decision-finds-lack-of.html. Justin Trudeau has made the same statements as the CBC that were deemed to be inaccurate. The PMO failed in the same way the CBC journalists did in trying to confuse the issue, pointing to predicted changes in rainfall instead of justifying past observations. As the CBC Ombudsman said in his 14 page ruling:
"Let us first examine the contentious sentence in question. It reads: “So called ‘100 year events’ are now occurring sometimes only a few years apart.” That would be an accurate statement if the article was considering all climate-related events – including tornadoes, droughts, heat waves, and forest fires – but that is clearly not the case here. First of all, the article is about flooding, as can be seen from the many photographs illustrating it; furthermore, the sentence immediately preceding the contentious sentence reads: “In recent years, the news has been full of stories of bigger and more violent storms, and massive rainfall and flooding.” Thus, when the article goes on to mention “so-called ‘100 year events,’” it is clear that the events being referred to are episodes of extreme rainfall. One only had to examine the official Environment Canada data for Ontario as well as for the entire country to acknowledge that the claim made in the article was inaccurate. Such acknowledgement would at the same time have addressed the complainant’s criticism regarding the lack of data to corroborate Dr. Feltmate’s claim about the increased frequency of extreme rainfall events in Canada. To make that correction, and for it to be meaningful, the writer would no doubt have had to change more than just the sentence in question – which, I admit, would have contradicted, in part, the theory described in the article and the accompanying interview with Dr. Feltmate. Thus the first two sentences in the article, after being amended transparently, per best practices, would have been replaced by something along these lines: “Although in recent years the news has been full of stories of bigger and more violent storms, and massive rainfall and flooding, there is nothing to prove that this type of precipitation event has been on the rise in Canada. Data compiled by Environment Canada since the 1950s show that there has been no significant change in their frequency.” An insert should then have been added, explaining that the previous version of the article, as well as part of the interview with Dr. Feltmate, contained inaccuracies in that respect, and that this prompted RCI to publish the clarification."
Also, the CBC journalist had elected to ignore Environment Canada data that contradicted it's original reporting, and instead attempted to discount questions on data. In another Ombudsman excerpt:
"He is, incidentally, one of the authors of the Environment Canada study cited above. Dr. Zhang wrote to journalist Marc Montgomery, while the latter was preparing his draft response to the complaint, that: “For Canada as a whole, observational evidence of changes in extreme precipitation is lacking.” I must take RCI to task for not having drawn the obvious conclusion regarding the truthfulness of the sentence that Mr. Muir complained about."
Environment and Climate Change Canada's new report confirms "There do not appear to be detectable trends ..." - see review of more relevant risk factors besides rain trends, consistent with the ECCC report.
Also, updated Engineering Climate Datasets (Version 3.0) show decreases in southern Ontario rainfall intensities based on analysis of observed rain at long term stations.

GO Train flooded in 1981 too. Media misses mark suggesting new normal for extreme weather and flooding.
Stranded GO Train on Richmond Hill line in 1981 in Don River flood plain.
Does this stranded GO Train in the Don River valley look familiar?:
It should. The same thing happened on July 8, 2013 in the same place.
Back when you were rocking to Queen/Bowie Under Pressure for the first time, Metrolinx was getting to know the flood risks for the Richmond Hill line that started in the late 1970's. These rain line flood risks were documented in the flood inquiry report for Premier Davis.
Fast forward to May 28-29, 2013 and there was a bigger flood in the same place. But it happened at night so no trains, no issue.
Fast forward a bit more to July 8, 2013 and we get this: another stranded GO Train in the same place. Exactly the same place? Wow!
Hello McFly! It's Back to the Future. Too bad GO Trains do not fly away like modified DeLorians do.
Metrolinx had to explain the 2013 incident as an unprecedented event. In fact, it was not unprecendented flooding, or rainfall, but unprecedented judgement to not monitor flood levels at the Todmonden river gauge beside the tracks. A sensor has been in place since 1962 and real time sensors were in place online for years (e.g., TRCA Todmorden gauge).
Under pressure no doubt to explain how known safety risks could be ignored for its workers and passengers, Metrolinx would take a page from Milli Vanilli and 'Blame it on the Rain".
Climate change, or extreme rainfall, is a quick and easy scapegoat for everything that has gone wrong in flood risk management or municipal drainage design over the past 50 to 100 years. But it does not explain incidents that should be managed as well-known operational risks. So 2013 was a big year for 'Blurred Lines", both for Robin Thicke and also for evidence-based, data-driven reporting on flood risk factors.
Today there is widespread misreporting that water level sensors were installed on the Don River after the flash flood of 2013. Perhaps extra sensors have been installed? The truth is that they have been in place for a long time.
If we are going to have effective solutions to flood risk mitigation, we have to accurate in characterization of flood causes, whether it was deficient Keating Channel dredging in the early 1980's or operational decisions in 2013. Otherwise we will "Blame it on the Rain" like Milli Vanilli and concoct misguided solutions to problems that do not exist. Solutions that could be worse than useless and miss real effective opportunities for risk mitigation.
PS - the maximum short term rainfall intensity recorded at the long term climate station / rain gauge in downtown Toronto was in 1962 (22.4 mm over 5 minutes). It caused widespread flooding even when the city was not a fully developed or intensified as it is now. Flooding blocked roads and in my neighbourhood there were hundreds of flooded basements as well:
So there is not really a new normal for rainfall and flooding, just more of yesterday's extremes, accentuated with 24-hour cable news, 24-7 weather reporting, and cell phone videos to capture every popped manhole, soggy underpass, or puddle that occurs in a big storm.

United Methodist Pastor Who Officiated Gay Wedding Found Guilty in Church Trial; Pro-LGBT Leader Says UMC Suffers Homophobia
CP Current Page: Church & Ministries | Tuesday, November 19, 2013 | Coronavirus →
By Michael Gryboski, Christian Post Reporter Follow | Tuesday, November 19, 2013
A United Methodist clergyman in Pennsylvania who officiated his son's same-sex wedding has been found guilty of violating the denomination's law that bans its reverends from performing such ceremonies.
The Rev. Frank Schaefer was found guilty by a 13-member jury of breaking his pastoral vows when he presided over a gay wedding ceremony in 2007.
"True love draws boundaries. Scripture says that true love does not rejoice in evil," said the Rev. Dr. Christopher Fisher, counsel for the church, in his closing argument. "Cheap grace does not lead to being conformed to the image and likeness of Christ. We ought not turn the grace of God into immorality. Is it true to tell young people that their identity can be determined by something like our sexuality?"
Schaefer serves as pastor of Zion United Methodist Church of Iona in Lebanon, Pa. A native of Germany, he was ordained as a deacon in 1996 and an elder in 1998.
In 2006, Schaefer's eldest son, who had come out to his parents about being gay while a teenager, became engaged to a man and asked his father to perform the ceremony.
The United Methodist Church forbids clergy from overseeing same-sex wedding ceremonies, and its Book of Discipline classifies homosexuality as "incompatible with Christian teaching." UMC clergy found guilty for violating the rules of the church regarding same-sex unions can lose their credentials as a cleric or other lesser punishments.
While the ceremony was performed in April 2007, it was not until about six years later that a member of Zion UMC filed a complaint against Schaefer over the ceremony.
The trial was set for November 18-19, with the jury finding Schaefer guilty Monday evening. With the decision, the jury will next determine the punishment in the "penalty phase" of the trial.
Many pro-LGBT Methodist groups came to Schaefer's support and denounced the church jury's guilty verdict as unjust.
Chett Pritchett, executive director of the Methodist Federation for Social Action, wrote in a blog entry Tuesday that the decision was an indicator as to how "sick" the denomination was in its policy regarding homosexuality.
"The body is sick, friends. Sick and tired. For over 40 years, our beloved United Methodist Church has suffered with an illness called bigotry and homophobia," wrote Pritchett.
"Good physicians know the first rule of medicine is always this: Do No Harm. Today's events have proven this: the body is sick, friends. Only Christ's healing can bring the comfort we truly need."
Schaefer is one of several cases in the United States of Methodist clergy opting to perform same-sex weddings in open defiance of their denomination's rules.

Sport Hotel Prodongo - Brallo di Pregola (PV)
Sport and relaxation in the high valleys of Pavia’s Oltrepò region
This thoughtfully restored hotel, located along the ancient salt road, far from the mass tourism routes, offers guests wellbeing and tranquillity
Santino Limonta
Studio Tecnico Tornari
Perched at 1250 metres above sea level, overlooking the Staffora valley to one side and the Trebbia valley to the other, Piani del Lesima gives way to a vast green plateau at the foot of Monte Lesima, at 1724 metres the highest peak in the Lombard Apennines. This typical mountain location is a paradise for anybody who loves the outdoor life. It is also home to the recently refurbished Sport Hotel Prodongo.
Before work commenced, the hotel consisted of a building with three floors above ground and a partly underground basement, plus a sports area alongside. The aim of the refurbishment, planned by Studio Tecnico Tornari, was to modernise the entire complex and bring it into line with the latest disabled access regulations and the latest trends in the hospitality market.
The first phase of work involved extending the building to add a new restaurant dining room, simultaneously renovating an existing room and its toilet facilities, creating a new hall and reception area, renewing the furnishings in the first floor bedrooms and installing a lift to provide disabled access between the various floors. This last aspect of the project proved the most challenging. The existing structure offered only one viable location for the lift: outside the building at the end of the first and second floor corridors. This meant enclosing the lift shaft in a new architectural element, built on to and supported by the main structure. This solution allowed the hotel entrance to be redesigned, making it more practical from an architectural point of view and more homogenous in terms of style.
In the second phase of work, the hotel’s facilities were upgraded by adding a brand-new Spa & Wellness Centre complete with indoor swimming pool and equipment typical of top-flight leisure destinations. The space for this was obtained by restructuring and extending the basement rooms previously used for storage. Large panoramic windows were also installed. A comfortable Junior Suite and a new conference room were fitted out at the same time.
Materials were selected primarily for compatibility with the hotel’s natural surroundings. The walls are therefore finished in local roughhewn stone; the load bearing structures in natural wood; the roof in antique effect, French style, cement roof tiles; the external doors and windows in wood; the window sills and door steps in naturally split serizzo granite; and the guttering in copper. Given this architectural context, grey Pietra di Combe porcelain tiles from Keope’s In&Out Percorsi Extra collection proved the perfect choice for the floors of the dining room and Spa & Wellness centre. The walls of the Turkish bath and showers are similarly finished in natural Pietra Dorica tiles from the In&Out Percorsi Style collection combined with Decoro Muretti Strutturato Sand tiles from the Percorsi Quartz collection.

Paradise, California, just beginning damage assessment, finding most homes destroyed
By Paul P. Murphy, CNN
Updated 10:12 AM EST, Thu November 15, 2018
An initial report from an ongoing field damage inspection in fire-ravaged Paradise, California, shows nearly all of the homes have been destroyed in an area surveyed.
As the Camp Fire roared through the Northern California town last week, people barely had enough time to escape much less take any of their belongings.
Officials say at least 48 people died in what’s now the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. Nearly a week later, more than 100 people remain missing.
More than 5,600 firefighters are working to contain the blaze, while teams have been deployed to survey some of the worst-hit areas.
Longtime fire official has never seen such destruction
Some 60 teams are out inspecting damage in Paradise and in nearby Concow and Magalia, also in Butte County. They’ve completed surveys for about 10% of the area, but the reports so far are chilling.
“I’ve never been to an incident with this much destruction and the complexity that’s tied to it,” says 30-year veteran Dave Russell of Cal Fire, the state’s forestry and fire protection agency.
An interactive map from Cal Fire shows the extent of damage in Paradise and surrounding areas.
Satellite images reveal houses in a green, tree-filled landscape – until the interactive map loads.
Cal Fire is publishing damage reports on an interactive map for areas affected by the Camp Fire.
PHOTO: CALFIRE
Red houses, indicating structures that were deemed more than 50% destroyed, fill an area on the map.
According to the latest incident report from Cal Fire, the Camp Fire has damaged an estimated 7,600 residences.
In some neighborhoods, all but a few houses were completely destroyed.
The fire burned so hot, and so close, to one house that its siding melted off, yet green vegetation is visible in some places of the yard.
PHOTO: Obtained by CNN
Another house in Paradise looks almost completely normal – except out front the remains of a burnt car sits in the driveway.
Evacuees can check on houses via map
The Cal Fire map gets updated as more reports come in, allowing evacuees a chance to see how their property fared.
In addition to the agency’s damage inspection assessment, the map includes photos of properties. Every single house indicator on the map has an accompanying photo.
These photos give residents and their families visual confirmation of the damage to their properties.

University Search: Beyond Rankings and Name Brands
Your international university list may only consist of schools with big names that you're familiar with. Read on to find out why that could be a big mistake.
Articles & Advice > International Students > Articles
by Reon Sines-Sheaff
Director of International Admissions, The College of Wooster
When you first start thinking about attending university, you’ll probably have a list of about a dozen well-known schools that spring to mind. Would it surprise you to learn that there are approximately 4,000 colleges and universities in North America?
Many students base their college search on the rankings provided by publications like U.S. News & World Report and Times Higher Education. These sources can be helpful in comparing universities based on a general overview and statistics; however, rankings often focus on criteria that may not apply to the distinctive wants and needs of each student.
Related: The Importance of Thinking Outside the Name-Brand Box
What to look for in a university…
As you craft your list of prospective institutions, you’ll want to look at the considerations that are most important to you and where you will fit best. Here are some factors and questions to consider:
It’s important to narrow down your search to schools that will be a good fit for your academic preparation and goals. Are you interested in research? Do you thrive in a challenging academic environment? Do you prefer independent learning or discussion-based classes, or are you most comfortable soaking up a lecture and processing the information on your own? What academic majors are you considering? What are the mid-ranges of test scores and GPAs for admission?
Diversity and global engagement
As an international student, find out where your classmates will be from (the United States? Other countries? How many and where?). Does the college cultivate a passion for study abroad? For cross-cultural communication? What is support like for international students: will you feel welcome there? Are there host families? Will you have access to an international student orientation?
Related: Exploring a College’s Cultural Fit
Location and size
Do you see yourself in a large city, a cozy suburban campus, or a sprawling campus in a small town? Does the idea of snow excite you or terrify you? What are the people like and how many of them are there: 1,000 other students…10,000…40,000?
If only I had a dollar for every university presentation that describes a campus as “just like Harry Potter!” This description is often used because it’s truly difficult to capture the campus experience through a PowerPoint presentation. But interactions with staff, faculty, alumni, and current students can help you find out what students do on weekends, how many students are typically in a class, what the residential experience is like, etc. Start thinking about what you want most from your college experience to help guide your research.
Are you an athlete, a musician, a dancer…a bagpipe player? If so, you’ll find it easy to narrow your list of schools based on whether you can pursue your passions there. But know that at many campuses, you may have the opportunity to create your own club or coordinate your own event if it’s not already offered.
Related: Campus Activities for International Students
…and where to find it
Once you’ve answered the questions above, the next step is to locate this information. Talking to your college counselor, attending free presentations by colleges that visit your school or city, and even utilizing college rankings and other well-known publications to find out about locations, number of students, and majors offered can be a great jumping-off point. Look at where alumni from your secondary school have attended and explore colleges attended by some of your role models.
One of my favorite resources is Colleges That Change Lives by Loren Pope. Mr. Pope, a former education editor at The New York Times, spent many years visiting colleges all around the United States and wrote about them in that book. It’s a great introduction to the considerations of what a “best fit” can look like for you and how you can go about finding it.
After you have added several colleges to your “maybe” list, you’ll need to start some in-depth analysis. See if there are any alumni in your area that you can connect with. Ask your admission counselor to put you in touch with a current student (by far the best way to find out about engagement and international life on campus!). Check out each school’s website and find out what graduates do. International students can’t always visit campus, and that’s okay! Get in touch any way you can.
Related: How to Build the Perfect College List
Can I really commit to a college abroad?
Studying in the United States—or in any foreign country—is an experience that brings both challenges and great benefits. Colleges and universities worldwide welcome students from across the globe and allow you to engage in respectful dialogue about politics, culture, economics, religion, and so much else with students from backgrounds that are entirely different from your own. US colleges and universities also encourage research, internships, and other experiential learning that allows you to put your theory into practice. The college experience is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that sets you up with the soft skills you’ll need for success after graduation, including creativity, communication skills, critical and analytical thinking, and leadership.
You may also be concerned about the cost of a college education. Universities know this, and because they want international students on their campuses, there are often many resources available to help make that cost more manageable. Ask your school counselor and admission officers at your prospective institutions about special scholarship funds, employment programs, or other financial aid opportunities available for international students.

In the end, it’s hard to make a “bad” choice when picking a university. There is no one “best fit” school for you—there are several. A school could be a great fit even if you don’t recognize it or it doesn’t appear on a national top 10 list. Doing the research and asking questions that are important to you will likely provide you with many solid options where you could happily spend the next four years of your life. Enjoy it!

Verge.FM offers a new, needed platform for marginalized voices
Andy Downing Editor, Columbus Alive @andydowning33
The streaming radio station, housed in 934 Gallery, begins broadcasting on Friday
While the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has shuttered countless businesses and operations, and significantly stunted the growth of others, there are new ventures that have begun to form amid the shutdowns. This includes the streaming radio station Verge.FM, based out of Columbus, which makes its online debut this Friday, Jan. 15.
Station cofounders Nadia Ayad, Lu Bird and Reg Zehner met briefly at a Skylab Gallery event prior to the shutdown, developing a friendship via Zoom hangouts, texts and group chats during the stay-at-home months that followed. Initially, the three bonded over DJing (an interest each had developed independently within the last year), which led to talks about access within the field, and which, over time, started to shape deeper discussions about creating a new streaming station that could better provide a platform for oft-marginalized artists.
“I think one way we also bonded is because of how weirdly exclusionary the DJ world still is, or even the dance scene in general,” said Zehner, who joined Ayad on a recent Zoom call. “Nonbinary DJs and women DJs, we all have to come together … because it’s still very male dominated.”
Verge.FM, which is housed within 934 Gallery in Milo-Grogan but has a national reach (DJs are based throughout the Midwest and the East Coast, including contributors from cities such as Chicago and Philadelphia), aims to help correct this imbalance, offering airtime to DJs and performers from a range of overlooked communities.

While the three quickly agreed on the station’s broader mission statement, everything else has been up for discussion. The trio cycled through myriad names before landing on Verge.FM, taken from an overdue library book Zehner checked out prior to the pandemic, and its programming focus is still in flux. At the moment, just a small percentage of its airtime will be dedicated to DJ mixes, with the rest drawing from a broad array of genres and performers. Podcasts, which did well during a successful December sneak peak, will also make up a portion of the programming.
“Starting out, I think we knew what we wanted it to be, but we were also being broad and thinking about a million different components that could be included, and which I still think we want to do,” Ayad said. “Those could include featuring visual artists, or having a blog written by different contributors.”
“I think we knew who we wanted to put on, which was marginalized and emerging artists, since we have those intersecting identities,” Zehner said, “but outside of that, we’d meet every week, and everything else has developed over time.”
Both Zehner and Bird also have past college radio experience, which has helped shape Verge.FM’s approach, with Zehner noting that the experience kept them accountable in terms of seeking out new music. The three envision the station’s roster of contributing DJs to maintain a similarly exploratory mindset.
Along with the creative aspects of founding a station, which is modeled in part on London-based NTS Radio, the three have also learned to navigate technical hurdles (a website is set to launch when the station goes on air Friday) and business demands, including applying for grants and raising capital via crowdfunding. (Verge.FM currently has an active Patreon account, in addition to an ongoing GoFundMe campaign.)
“Figuring out the website, what platform we were going to use to stream… there was so much,” Ayad said. “Thankfully Reg is a coder, or learning how to code, but at least knew enough of the basics to get us started.”
“There have definitely been times when we had mistakes, like the Sunday of our sneak peak, which was frustrating, but good for our learning curve,” said Zehner, who remained optimistic listeners will be more forgiving about technical hurdles as the station begins to find its feet in these early weeks (a virtual certainty, with many used to navigating the various technical pitfalls of the current work-from-home environment). “Even with our technical advances, Wi-Fi does cut out … and the website might crash. We’re not from money, and we are doing this by hand and with the help of others, so I hope people are empathetic and remain patient with us.”

When The Dog Dies
BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio 4 Extra sitcom. 24 episodes (4 series), 2010 - 2014. Stars Ronnie Corbett, Liza Tarbuck, Sally Grace, Tilly Vosburgh, Jonathan Aris, Daniel Bridle, Philip Bird and others.
When The Dog Dies Menu
Radio Times review
There's nothing wrong with a sitcom being gentle, especially if it is as well written and acted as this one. Ronnie Corbett returns as the OAP who is determined not to take his children's advice and downsize, at least not while his beloved dog Henry is still alive.
I am sorry to report that this is the final series, which I hope does not mean a sad ending for either man or dog. Make the most of this, while we still have the time.
Jane Anderson, Radio Times, 14th May 2014
A new year brings new resolutions, new plans and, thankfully, a new series of Sorry! writers Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent's charming Radio 4 sitcom. Ronnie Corbett reprises his role as ageing pensioner Sandy Hopper who, despite his children's best attempts, refuses to move out of the family home until his similarly ancient dog Henry has kicked the bucket.
Expertly weaving its way through themes of middle-class pretension and thinly veiled snobbery, this subtle comedy is a masterclass in the family sitcom viewed from a different perspective. It is also apparent that the gravelly yet mild-mannered Sandy was written with none other than Corbett in mind, and the veteran comic clearly relishes the performance.
Tom Goulding, Radio Times, 11th January 2013
Hats off to Ronnie Corbett and a cosy canine sitcom
Gillian Reynolds reviews the week in radio, including the second series of Ronnie Corbett's sitcom When the Dog Dies on Radio 4 Extra.
Gillian Reynolds, The Telegraph, 26th July 2011
Ronnie Corbett is back! Not in the outsized armchair, telling shaggy dog stories about his producer, but in series two of the cockle-warming sitcom by Sorry! scribes Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent. The deep-voiced micro-comic plays Sandy Hopper, still hunkering down in the family home until his ancient dog Henry expires. Daughter Ellie wants to get her reluctant son Tyson into an academy school, but Sandy doesn't know who to side with. A blizzard of comic detail peppers the tale of middle-class pretension, and it's a charming vehicle for Corbett. Liza Tarbuck channels the spirit of Pat Coombs as Sandy's lodger Dolores.
Mark Braxton, Radio Times, 25th July 2011
While Stephen Fry discourses on persuasive language (in advertising and so on) on Radio 4 here's an agreeable alternative, a brand new series of the sitcom where Ronnie Corbett plays a widower with a dog, a rather tarty lodger (Liza Tarbuck), a comfortable lifestyle - and a daughterwho wishes he'd hurry up and sell his house. Written by Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent who perfectly understand the way Corbett gently inflects a line into a joke. Produced by Liz Anstee for CPL Independent Productions Ltd. Don't worry. It'll be on Radio 4 before long.
Gillian Reynolds, The Telegraph, 22nd July 2011
When the Dog Dies, Radio 4 Extra, preview
Gillian Reynolds looks ahead to a new series of the gentle comedy starring Ronnie Corbett.
Gillian Reynolds, The Telegraph, 21st July 2011
Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent's delightful When the Dog Dies cast Ronnie Corbett as Sandy Hopper, a widower whose daughter and son-in-law are impatient for him to move out of his house - a move he has agreed to make "when the dog dies". The need, therefore, is to keep Henry - 116 in dog years - alive. This is a gentle, credit-crunch comedy for our times and Corbett is beautifully cast as the beleaguered oldie whose ungrateful offspring watch his every move like vultures. When he gets a sat-nav his daughter is horrified. "You shouldn't be spending money on that, there's already inheritance tax without you spending!" He is banned from burying the dog in the garden because, as his monstrous son-in-law tells him, "People won't buy the house with dead dogs everywhere". And when he graciously suggests, "we should all be singing from the same hymn sheet," the son-in-law ominously riposts, "We will soon Sandy."
Jane Thynne, The Independent, 6th May 2010
When the Dog Dies (Radio 4, Friday) is a situation comedy by Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent with Ronnie Corbett for whom, long ago, they wrote the TV sitcom Sorry! This is an old fashioned series, with characters like cartoons and situations like comic postcards. It is also funny because, as with the best cartoons and postcards, it is recognisably lifelike and (again with Liz Anstee directing) very neatly set out. It's good to have heard the ring of confident production so often this week.
Gillian Reynolds, The Telegraph, 5th May 2010
Radio Review: When The Dog Dies
Ronnie Corbett plays Sandy, who thwarts his children by refusing to sell the family home until his dog dies.

The sulphide phase of ore minerals is subject to passivation in oxidizing conditions. The kinetics of dissolution of polycrystalline sulfide minerals - the raw material of hydrometallurgy of molybdenum, copper, under conditions of variable hydrodynamics of interaction with the medium, is adequately described by the method of a rotating disk of dissolved material with a surface equally accessible to the diffusion of reagents. Overcoming the passivation of their surface is described by kinetic equations based on model representations. Objective: on the example of the behavior of Mo-concentrate in nitrate and hypochlorite electrolytes to describe the nature of the resulting products and the kinetics of their dissolution. Samples of Mo-concentrate (38% Mo in MoS2 phase) were used. The concentration of Cu (II), Fe (III), Mo (VI), Re (VII) ions in solutions was determined photocolorimetrically and spectrometrically (AAS Perkin-Elmer 3030B, ICP- Aligent 7500 ICP MS); thermal analysis was carried out by dilatography, and microscopy of samples was carried out on scanning electron microscopes: SEM-EDS EVO-MA (Carl Zeiss Instrum) and JCM – 6000 Neoscope II (JEOL); spectral analysis - on a Nicolet iS50 FT-IR spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, USA), diffuse reflection electronic spectra - on a UV-2600 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu); structural and phase analysis - on an XRD Empyrean X-ray diffractometer (PANalytical), kinetic measurements were performed on powder samples of sulfide concentrates, t:W = 1:7 and 1:75. For example, oxidation of Mo-concentrate samples in a sulfate-hypochlorite electrolyte, during 1800 seconds, the destruction of the phase of Mo, Cu sulfide compounds was established, with the transformation of their share into the oxide-sulfate phase. The kinetics of oxidation of a number of minerals in a sulfate-hypochlorite electrolyte was studied in the temperature range 20–40–70 °C, at atmospheric pressure. The samples of the solid phase after their leaching were studied by the methods of thermal analysis, optical, UV and IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and probe microanalysis of the surface areas of the grains.

Writer Warren Ellis Is A Creep, But His Victims Don't Want To Cancel Him
Maxwell Yezpitelok ·
Writer Warren Ellis is one of those figures everyone who likes comic books is automatically a fan of, even if you've never bothered to read his stuff. Over the years Cracked has gushed about Ellis for stuff like having a badass Twitter account, retelling amusing behind the scenes stories, or starring in amusing behind the scenes stories and his actual writing work (which includes every episode of Netflix's Castlevania and the comics Iron Man 3 and Red are based on). His constant support of other artists and justified grumpiness at the state of our shitty world have turned him into a beloved internet icon. Aaaaaand he's a serial sex pest, apparently.
During a wider conversation about the many, many nasty abusers lurking in the magical world of comics, a few women confessed that they felt groomed and sexually manipulated by Ellis. And then more popped up. And then more. And then more. Over 60 women and non-binary people have come forward to share eerily similar stories about good ol' Uncle Warren: he'd find them online while they were young (as young as 19) and/or vulnerable, shower them with praise and offer to help them professionally, initiate a secretive sexual relationship, and ghost them when they tried to dial back the sexting or he simply found a new target. Not that he had trouble juggling relationships, since he was reportedly involved with 19 women simultaneously during one mega-horny point in 2009.
Nothing Ellis did was illegal, but it's still disturbing as hell. Many of the women say they were led to believe they were his only partner, only to find out now that they all got the same weirdly specific compliments, habit-forming daily e-mails, and shirtless selfies. Dude had a whole elaborate system for squeezing nudes out of young women, as if he'd never heard of Pornhub. These people thought they were consensually entering into a relationship with a great man they deeply admired, but is it really "consent" if half of what they knew about him is fake? (Starting with the "great man" part.) The stories are hard to read because there's so goddamn many of them and they're so similar. In fact, that's the name of the remarkable website collecting these testimonies: SoManyOfUs.com.
But the point of that site isn't to get Ellis fired from all his jobs and launched out of town on a trebuchet. They don't want his books to be pulled and burned, because that would harm the other artists involved ... and, you know, a lot of them are actually pretty good. Whenever something like this happens there's an impulse to say "Well, I never liked his work!" as if that meant anything -- Woody Allen wouldn't be less of a creep if he was still making funny movies, guys. They won't let Bill Cosby out of prison if you admit Ghost Dad is a masterpiece. Let's not kid ourselves, it is.
No, what the SoManyOfUs website seeks is to 1) prevent more people from being groomed and manipulated, 2) support those harmed by Ellis' careless digital philandering, and 3) let the rest of us know that this is a thing that happens so that we learn to recognize (and hopefully stop) it. They even say they're open to joining forces with Ellis to raise awareness of this problem. Of course, the first step for that would be for him to release a more convincing apology than the one where he claims he just never considered himself "famous or powerful." After all, who among us has never written lines that ended up in the mouths of Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman?

Distance computation [NEW!]
This website extensively uses Javascript. It will not work properly with this feature disabled.
CsAuthors.net's shortest path algorithm
CsAuthors.net's algorithm finds the shortest co-authorship path between two authors. A co-authorship path is defined as a list of authors such that each pair of neighboring authors on that list co-authored at least a paper.
In cases where there exists different paths between two authors having a minimal length, the system will select the path such that the sum of the logarithms of the number of collaborations between authors is the highest.
In cases where no co-authorship path exists between two authors, the system reports an infinite distance between them (denoted using the mathematical symbol "∞"). This situation is relatively rare since currently 89.4% users are in the same connected subset of the graph.
Additional remarks about the dataset:
Most of the data is coming from the DBLP Computer Science Bibliography and the rest is coming from CsAuthors.net own database.
Hence the hard work being done to keep everything up-to-date, many papers are not yet included in CsAuthors's dataset.

Background 5 Apr 2016
Ukraine dairy industry struggles with oversupply
Last year Ukraine’s dairy industry had its toughest year yet since the country gained its independence, the Agricultural Ministry believes, with profits on milk production dropping by a third.
According to the index of professional production of milk, estimated by the government agencies, last year due to low purchasing prices and increases in feed prices, profitability of milk production in the country dropped by 31% compare to 2014, and by 36% compared to 2013.
According to Andriy Yarmak, economist at the investment department of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), this year Ukraine's market will have an excess of supply of 800,000 tonnes of milk. This amount had previously has been sold to Russia, Crimea and eastern regions of the country, but now all these markets are closed due to Russia's embargo on Ukrainian food products and the continuing armed conflict in east of Ukraine.
Impact of tax reform on dairy farmers
In addition there is the recent tax reform, which has abolished any preferences on payment of VAT for all categories of livestock production. Deputy chairman of the All-Ukrainian Agricultural Council, Mikhail Sokolov, believes that dairy farming in the country is in the worst situation compared to all other segments of the livestock industry, so tax reform will hit it the hardest.
Cancellation of tax preferences is connected with the harsh situation regarding the county's budget, but Mikhail Sokolov says that it is a real disaster for the sector and it is not actually clear, if manufacturers will be able to deal with it.
Need for export market development
According to Andriy Yarmak within the coming 3 years the development of the dairy industry in the country will be primarily associated with exports. He says that the most promising markets for Ukrainian dairy products are China and the African countries, but so far the process of export development has faltered, since Ukraine is not known in the world as an exporter of dairy production. Head of All-Ukrainian Agricultural Council, Andei Dikun, added that the current crisis will lead to the improvement of efficiency of the country's milk industry which would shift its focus to the production of dairy products of premium categories. However, according to him this will also be accompanied by a decrease in the dairy herd population and the overall milk production in the country.
Hopes for EU
Within the free trade zone agreement in 2016 - 10 Ukraine dairy producers received the right to export milk products into the European Union, duty free. However, duty-free supplies are carried out within quotas and Ukraine manufacturers complain that they are rather small. Quotas for the supply of milk, yoghurts and fermented dairy products account to only 8,000 tonnes, milk powder 1,500 tonnes and butter 1,500 tonnes. Olga Trofimtseva, head of the Ukrainian consulting group on agricultural trade within the free trade zone agreement with the EU, says that the quotas are extremely small, even ironical. At the same time, she added that the real free trade of Ukraine with Europe in dairy segment probably will not be really free for at least the next coming 5-7 years.

Duff & Phelps bolsters corporate finance capabilities in Asia
Duff & Phelps
Duff & Phelps Managing Director, James Cook, has been moved by the firm to its Asia-Pacific base in Hong Kong to bolster its restructuring practice. Restructuring demand is expected to increase in the region as more companies find themselves in distress on the back of an economic slowdown.
James Cook currently serves as Managing Director of Duff & Phelps’ Restructuring Practice in the UK. Cook previously worked at Zolfo Cooper (now AlixPartners), in his last role as a Director, following more than 11 years at the consultancy. Cook was educated at Loughborough University and is a Chartered Accountant. His more than 15 years of debt advisory and restructuring experience was developed across a range of cross-border operational issues.
The firm recently announced that it will be shifting Cook from his duties in the UK to bolster its corporate finance capabilities in Asia. In his new role, Cook will be working collaboratively with restructuring teams across key financial centres around the world, as well as the firm’s Asia-based valuation, disputes and investigations, M&A and fairness opinions practices. Recent analysis from AlixPartners found that company distress in Asia is on the rise, following the slowdown in key Asian economies.
David Lu, Head of Corporate Finance in Asia, says, “Duff & Phelps’ Asia Restructuring Advisory practice will complement our existing services in the region, particularly against the backdrop of rapid credit growth, higher default rates and a proliferation of cross-border stakeholder disputes in Asia. We look forward to leveraging our credibility, broad service offering and international expertise to assist our clients with turnaround and restructuring situations.”
Duff and Phelps’ presence in Asian currently spans 11 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hong Kong.

Avs’ Nathan MacKinnon, Penguins’ Sidney Crosby meet again on ice
The Avalanche’s Nathan MacKinnon, left, and the Pittsburgh Penguins’ Sidney Crosby, right are close friends off the ice.
By Terry Frei | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: December 8, 2015 at 1:40 p.m. | UPDATED: April 19, 2016 at 5:16 p.m.
In hockey’s offseason, as she was at the drive-thru screen of a Tim Hortons restaurant in the Dartmouth area of the Halifax Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia, a woman heard the young man taking her order ask her a strange question.
“Who would you rather be stranded on a desert island with? Sidney Crosby or Nathan Mac Kinnon?”
Reflectively, the woman answered: “I love ’em both, both hometown boys. But Nate’s a little young for me, so I guess I’ll go with Sidney.”
The Hortons worker retorted: “All right. I mean, young at heart, but I’m very mature for my age.”
Starting to put two and two together, the woman looked like she was suspicious. After she drove forward, reached the window and spotted MacKinnon and Crosby, she exclaimed, “Holy …” then added to MacKinnon, “You’re still too young for me.”
That was one scene in the funny footage shot early last summer for Tim Hortons commercials, featuring Crosby — the two-time winner of the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s MVP — and MacKinnon, the Avalanche’s third-year center and 2014 Calder Trophy winner as rookie of the year.
Both were raised in the Halifax area — MacKinnon in Dartmouth’s Bel Ayr Park neighborhood, Crosby in nearby Cole Harbour — and both played in the Cole Harbour Bel Ayr Minor Hockey Association programs.
The two, now close friends, meet on the ice Wednesday, when Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins face the Avalanche at the Pepsi Center. They were scheduled to have dinner together Tuesday, along with Avalanche defenseman Tyson Barrie, their teammate on gold medal-winning Team Canada in the world championships last spring.
“He came in the league when I was about 10,” MacKinnon said after practice Tuesday. “Being from the same hometown, it was exciting to have someone like that to look up to. Now it’s more of a friendship. It’s funny looking back that I idolized him. I consider him a buddy, one of my closest friends. We train together the majority of the summers and do golf trips and stuff like that. It’s different now, for sure.”
They’re linked even more now by the Tim Hortons shoot, well-known in Canada. The raw footage shows Crosby announcing: “Welcome to Hortons. May I take your order, please?” And the two local boys went from there.
They shouldn’t quit their night jobs.
“We were both terrible,” Mac Kinnon said. “They show the average time it should take for cars to come through. The normal was like 22 seconds, and we were over a minute. We were pretty bad. But we were giving out free stuff, so people enjoyed that.”
MacKinnon said he was at first a bit anxious.
“Everybody knew who Sid was, obviously, but I think the majority of people recognized me,” he said. “Which was nice, because I was a little nervous.”
At several points, Crosby asked customers — who still were at the ordering screen and couldn’t see the window workers — trivia questions.
One was: “Can you name a hockey player from the East Coast?”
“Uh, Sidney Crosby?” a woman answered
“Good answer, drive right through.”
When several answered Crosby, MacKinnon was exasperated.
Then Crosby tried to prompt a woman who had named him. “From Cole Harbour, who else comes to mind?” he asked.
“Oh!” the woman exclaimed. “There’s this guy, my God, he just got drafted a year ago! Oh, last name begins with an ‘M.’ Um … McGinnis!”
MacKinnon, as are many Canadians and U.S. residents in select markets, was raised on Tim Hortons.
“What do I like?” he asked. “Oh, a Boston Creme. It’s like a doughnut with white goo inside. My dad always took me there when I was a kid after my early-morning practices to get a Boston Creme.”

PITTSBURGH AT COLORADO 8 p.m. Wednesday, NBCSN; 950 AM
Spotlight on Sidney Crosby:
The two-time Hart Trophy winner is struggling — at least by his standards — so far this season, with only six goals and 18 points. He got off to a horrible start, with only one goal in October, and has just one goal in the Penguins’ past five games.
Penguins:
This is the last stop of a four-game road trip for the Penguins. They beat San Jose 5-1 then lost to Los Angeles 5-3 and Anaheim 2-1. … Uncharacteristically, Pittsburgh’s average of 2.3 goals per game and its 16.3 percent power play both were 26th in the NHL going into Tuesday’s games. … Winger Pascal Dupuis, who had played in 18 games this season, announced his retirement Tuesday. Blood clots forced him to miss most of last season, and he now has a medical condition related to that. … The Penguins practiced at Big Bear Arena in Denver on Tuesday.
Avalanche:
Coach Patrick Roy reconfirmed that Reto Berra will get the start in net against the Penguins and that Semyon Varlamov will play at Nashville on Saturday. … The Avs practiced Tuesday then made their annual visit to Children’s Hospital Colorado on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. … Roy said he thought Norwegian winger Andreas Martinsen, restored to the lineup Monday against Minnesota, played well against the Wild, but Roy wouldn’t commit to keeping him there. “We’re just going to take one game at a time with him now,” Roy said. … Earlier, Roy had indicated he planned to rotate the healthy defenseman scratch, but that scratch has been Zach Redmond in the past three games. Roy said he believed Nate Guenin had played well in two of the past three games and that Guenin was ” a good fit” to partner with Brandon Gormley.

KRISHNAGIRI: It was yet another day for 40-year-old K. Mallappan who entered the forest, a few years ago for livelihood and that was the most fortunate day in his life for being alive after being attacked by the wild bear.
Mallappa, a tribal of Melsaathanakal village, on Denaknnikottai-Panchapalli road in Denkannikottai taluk of Krishnagiri has joined the list of others who survived the wild animal attack.
With no source of income for them, the tribal people who have been pushed out of the forest for some reason have to continue their traditional activity of collecting honey and other produces from the forest by risking their life.
"Our people enter forest for collecting honey and other forest produce for our survival and it is not an easy job. Sometimes they are attacked by the wild animals as in my case," Mallappa said.
He recalled the incident with a smile and showing the injuries inflicted in his body by the wild bear; "I was returning home happily with a big honey comb that day. A wild bear caught the smell (honey) came out of the bush and attacked me. Luckily I escaped with injuries in the fight between us for food."
Henceforth, it is not necessary for Mallapan and his community people of his village to risk their life for survival. They have been trained to convert waste weed to wealth.
Around ten families are busy making furniture from the plant 'lantana camara', a poisonous weed that is widely found in the Krishnagiri forest region.
"The infamous weed has moved to more than fifty countries from its native Central and South America. It is a threat to the bio-diversity of the region where it grows due to its fast growing nature and covering the open lands quickly," says Vivek Garady of Kenneth Anderson nature society (KANS).
He added "Other problem with lantana is the forest fire and also poisonous to the wild animals and livestock if consumed. Every year the forest department puts efforts to clear the weed. Its regeneration is much faster that the speed of uprooting the bushes"
A joint study conducted by KANS and the district forest department of how to control the weed has taken them to MM Hill in Karnataka where the local people have been trained to make furniture and other crafts using lantana branches. This activity gave a permanent solution for the problem in the Karnataka forest region.
The KANS took the help of "Ashoka trust for research in ecology and environment (ATREE)", an NGO that has trained the local people in MM hills to convert the waste weed to wealth. Few artisans from ATREE came to Melsaathanakal village and have trained the local tribal people in making the furniture and other craft materials from the lantana branches.
"It is profitable, but have problem in marketing our goods. We invite orders from the people who are interested in saving bio-diversity of our forest region and give livelihood to poor people like us," Mallappa said.

The GI-MAP™ in Clinical Practice
by Dan Kalish, DC
Last summer, two different boys, a ten-year-old and a seventeen-year-old, presented to my clinic with similar GI complaints. The families were unrelated and located in different areas, but both boys had symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and heartburn that were accompanied by poor reactions to certain foods.
Ten-Year-Old Boy
The ten-year-old boy experienced a two-year period of deteriorating health. His hair was not growing well, and his nails had deep ridges that were almost deformed. His performance at school suffered so severely that he was pulled out of the regular classroom and instead received one-on-one education by tutors. While he’d once shined athletically, he was now so fatigued that running around the playground was difficult.
I performed a thorough patient history and discovered that his gastrointestinal symptoms had started immediately after a church picnic, where he’d eaten what may have been tainted potato salad. Other people who’d attended the picnic had also become sick, and his parents were able to date stamp his downward health spiral to the weekend of the picnic.
Seventeen-Year-Old Boy
Before his illness, the seventeen-year-old boy was an active teenager who played quarterback for his high school’s football team. He presented with symptoms of reoccurring nausea, very painful heartburn, and occasional vomiting in the morning. His gastrointestinal complaints were so severe that he began avoiding food for fear that even his favorite foods would cause him pain.
He had become too ill to play football. That loss was catastrophic for him; he felt like the world was crashing down around him.
GI-MAP Stool Testing Identified the Pathogen
I ordered a GI-MAP for both patients. In this instance and to my surprise, the test results showed that both boys were positive for the same pathogen - H. pylori.
When I shared the test results with the parents, both were amazed they finally had answers. They wanted to know why it had taken so long for a doctor to reach a diagnosis and why their regular pediatricians had not run a test like the GI-MAP.
Personalized Treatment Protocols and Follow-Up Results
I personalized treatment for each patient. One boy’s parents opted for prescription treatment followed by GI repair protocols. The others chose to use the herbal treatment for H. pylori which I’ve recommended for years – Mastica, at a high dose for two months.
Both patients recovered dramatically within 60 days of treatment. The ten-year old’s mom was crying when she told me that he would return to his regular classroom in the Fall. His focus and concentration were back, and his hair and nails were growing normally. His stomach pain was gone entirely.
The seventeen-year-old quarterback had an even faster recovery - weeks not months. His only residual complaint was occasional heartburn after eating junk food or dairy.
I find it particularly satisfying to resolve health complaints for children. It’s been quite rewarding to get to know these two boys and their families. In both cases, other family members have come in for functional medicine testing.
The GI MAP’s ability to test using PRC technology gives me a clinical advantage when facing challenging cases. Practicing good quality functional medicine provides emotional rewards for me and my patients. Also, positive outcomes generate referrals, allowing me to grow my practice, and help those in need. To learn more about incorporating functional medicine in clinical practice, join me for my 1-Year Mentorship Program that educates clinicians about functional medicine and the value of functional testing.
Dr. Daniel Kalish is dedicated to teaching doctors Functional Medicine philosophy and practices. He has trained over 1,000 practitioners worldwide in The Kalish Method, which solves patient challenges with a proven lab based approach through the Kalish Institute’s educational programs.
In May 2016, a research study published by two Mayo Clinic researchers confirmed the efficacy of The Kalish Method showing significant improvements in GI health, and quality of life in the study participants. The study was based on Dr. Kalish’s model of Functional Medicine based on 25 years of successful clinical results. Graduates of The Kalish Institute include practitioners ranging from Dr. Mercola’s medical staff, to Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic physicians.

Coronavirus puts back-to-school shopping on the ‘do it now’ list
Bloomberg News | Mar 12, 2020
Retailers are preparing orders for August as manufacturers in China cope with coronavirus shutdowns and delays, and there might not be enough goods to go around.
(Bloomberg)—While you’re hoarding wipes and toilet paper, you might want to stock up now on clothing and other supplies for the back-to-school season.
That’s because retailers are preparing orders for August as manufacturers in China cope with coronavirus shutdowns and delays, and there might not be enough goods to go around.
“Everybody will want to be back shopping, and that’s when the real inventory shortage will hit,” said Richard Maicki, a managing director at consulting firm Berkeley Research Group, who advises retail and consumer companies on turnaround plans. “That is not great timing.”
How the coronavirus is affecting online retailers
Stephanie Crets | Mar 12, 2020
The coronavirus outbreak has idled factories that produce the world’s clothing, shoes and electronics. Spring and summer goods were shipped before the disruptions began, but expect shelves to look leaner by early summer, Maicki said.
U.S. retailers are struggling to figure out how to predict the cadence of their business as the virus—and fears about its lethality—continues to spread. The World Health Organization on Wednesday designated the outbreak as a pandemic.
The upheaval comes as many retailers are already closing stores and facing bankruptcy under pressure from debt and changing consumer tastes. In response, retailers have lightened up on inventory in recent years to save costs and stay agile as trends change rapidly; that shift could now hurt as it leaves them without merchandise when new shipments dry up.
Lag times
Factories are coming back online in China, said Stephen Lamar, chief executive officer of the American Apparel & Footwear Association, a nonprofit organization for retailers and suppliers. The trouble lies in the lag created by their downtime. The National Retail Federation on Monday said the virus may have a longer and larger impact on imports at major U.S. retail container ports than previously believed.
“It’s a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day approach,” Lamar said. “What we’re looking at is how fast will these supply chains be able to come fully back up to speed” to support back-to-school and even the holiday season.
Ryan Mulcunry, a managing director at B. Riley Financial Inc.’s Great American Group, said he’s spoken with some retailers who are getting their factories back online and expect supply chain delays of only four to six weeks. That would give them a decent back-to-school season, he said. Anything over six weeks will mean trouble, especially for those retailers already struggling.
“You’re going to have empty shelves,” Mulcunry said. “Which, even if the demand doesn’t go down, you’re going to have negative sales because you’re not going to have anything to sell.”
Fast boats
Some vendors are assuming the additional cost of sending products via fast boats or air to speed them to retailers, said Michael Stanley, a managing director at Rosenthal & Rosenthal, a finance company. Vendors he works with are also speaking with retailers about widening the shipping windows for their goods, which can incur penalties if they’re late.
2019 Top Performers in Global Ecommerce
Retailers and manufacturers have worked to diversify where they make their goods in recent years, a process accelerated last year by U.S. tariff increases on Chinese goods. But many components like buttons and fuses are still primarily made in China, Maicki said, meaning the impact of even contained shutdowns can be broad.
“It could be the smallest fuse that’s part of a piece of electronics,” Maicki said. “It could be the specific denim material that you need to cut and sew a pair of pants; any of that can impact the delivery of the finished goods.”
It takes anywhere from two to six months to shift to another supplier, and many factories elsewhere “are not geared up to take the kind of potential capacity shift” needed, said Holly Etlin, a managing director at AlixPartners who works to turn around retailers and other troubled companies. She spoke Tuesday on a webinar hosted by the American Bankruptcy Institute about the effect of the virus on supply chains.
Other delays
Even if workers are getting back to factories in China, there are other delays, Etlin and Maicki said.
Manufacturers often need specialized equipment, so “it’s not as simple as work 20% more and we’ll catch up,” Maicki said. Creating samples, a process done in person, is another important step, and if workers can’t gather, “you’re changing your whole timeline in terms of hitting the dates that you need to hit.”
Retailers already have enough trouble grappling with tariffs on Chinese-made goods, according to Lamar. “Those tariffs are still very much part of the landscape of what our members are facing,” he said. “And now coronavirus is on top of it.”

Africa’s second half‐centenary: Sustainable human development/citizen security?

Africa faces an unanticipated ‘second chance’ at the start of the second decade of the 21st century: how many ‘developmental’ versus ‘fragile’ states by 2020? The interrelated prospects for both BRICs & the continent are being transformed by the current global financial crisis: as the South expands & the North contracts, what S‐N relations in future? The EU of 27 now includes the PIIGS: a disincentive to African regions to sign EPAs unlike the Caribbean? African political economies are now located in second, third & fourth worlds: will they identify with the G20 and/or the G192 (G193 once Southern Sudan independent at start 2011?). Half the dozen fastest growing countries identified in the Economist’s World in 2011 are African (Economist 2010a): from Ghana to Liberia; the CGD in DC now suggests that 17 African countries are ‘leading the way’ & the BCG has identified 40 African corporations as global ‘challengers’. To maximize its development & security, Africa would need to advance ‘network’ or ‘public’ rather than traditional ‘club’ diplomacy, involving civil society & private companies as well as states & intergovernmental agencies. But climate change may yet emerge as the spoiler, hence the importance of COP17 in Durban before the end of 2011! This paper has four parts which stake out paths to a brighter future for the continent, including its myriad diasporas. First: post‐Washington Consensus, ODA from the OECD is of declining importance or attraction. Rather, a range of ‘innovative sources of finance’ are appearing, encouraged by the ‘Leading Group’: global solidarity fund, currency transaction tax, carbon taxes/trading, climate change funds, controls on money laundering & remittance taxes etc. Plus emerging donors like the BRICs & Gulf states, some with SWFs; FBOs; & new private foundation like Gates, Clinton & Ibrahim leading to GAVI etc.Second, Africa has generated an innovative range of ‘new regionalisms’ involving non‐state actors: from Maputo Corridor & Kgalagadi trans‐frontier peace‐park to Nile Basin Initiative/Dialogue; and from International Conference on the GLR to corporate supply chains.Third, ‘new multilateralisms’ or ‘transnational governance’ with African dimensions, from ICBL & Ottawa Process & PAC/GW & Kimberley Process & now DDI to EITI, FCS & MCS to IANSA & ATT; yet coalitions over SALW & children/women’s security are stalled due to US vetoes. And finally, fourth, what implications of this trio of novel directions & players for our analyses & policies, state & non‐state: who are the ‘drivers’, innovators & animators? How to transit from dependency & neoliberalism towards a Beijing Consensus? Where ACBF & its partners in 2030/2040/2050?

The purpose of this paper is to examine the social opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men created through Men’s Groups/Sheds across urban, regional and remote areas of Australia. Men’s Sheds are a safe space, resembling a work-shop setting or backyard shed, where men are encouraged to socialise and participate in health promotion, informal learning and engage in meaningful tasks both individually and at the community level.
Explore five case study sites through Wenger’s (1998) active communities of practice (CoP). Qualitative methods are presented and analysed; methods comprise semi-structured interviews and yarning circles (focus groups). Five Indigenous leaders/coordinators participated in semi-structured interviews, as well as five yarning circles with a total of 61 Indigenous men.
In a societal context in which Indigenous men in Australia experience a number of social and health issues, impeding their quality of life and future opportunities, the central finding of the paper is that the effective development of social relations and socially designed programs through Men’s Groups, operating as CoP, may contribute to overcoming many social and health well-being concerns.
Contributions will provide a better understanding of how Indigenous men are engaging with Men’s Sheds, and through those interactions, are learning new skills and contributing to social change.

Innovation programs at the workplace for workers with an intellectual disability: Two case studies in large Australian organisations
Hannah Meacham, Jillian Cavanagh, Amie Shaw and Timothy Bartram
The purpose of this paper is to examine human resource management (HRM) innovation programs in the early stages of employment for workers with an intellectual disability (WWID).
The first case study was carried out at a large national courier company where a film innovation programme was used to enhance the socialisation process of WWID. The second case study was at a five-star hotel situated in a large city where a buddy system innovation programme was used in the induction and training process of WWID.
The overarching “life theme” created through these innovation programs was one of enhanced and creative opportunities for social inclusion. The participants displayed more confidence and independence in their ability and exhibited aspirations to advance and succeed in their roles.
The study argues that HR professionals need to be more proactive in finding innovative ways to engage WWID in the early stages of employment.
The qualitative study is underpinned by socialisation and career construction theory which provides the framework to discuss the ways in which socialisation and socially inclusive HRM practices enable participants and other WWID achieve success on their career paths. The key message of our research is that early vocational socialisation innovation programs can make a positive difference to the work experiences of WWID.

Research on the link between tourism and politics still remains relatively underdeveloped and more so when one considers the link between this phenomenon and the study of elections or psephology. This is despite the importance of elections to the democratic process and to considerations of the distribution of scarce resources particularly in countries heavily dependent on tourism. This chapter seeks to address this lacuna in scholarship through a theoretical explication of the nature of political issues and voter response. Applied to the development of a possible research agenda, this would aid in exploring the salience of tourism within electoral agendas from a relational perspective.

Discipline-specific competency-based curricula for leadership learning in medical specialty training: A critical review of the literature

Doctors play a central role in leading improvements to healthcare systems. Leadership knowledge and skills are not inherent, however, and need to be learned. General frameworks for medical leadership guide curriculum development in this area. Explicit discipline-linked competency sets and programmes provide context for learning and likely enhance specialty trainees’ capability for leadership at all levels. The aim of this review was to summarise the scholarly literature available around medical specialty-specific competency-based curricula for leadership in the post-graduate training space.
A systematic literature search method was applied using the Medline, EMBASE and ERIC (education) online databases. Documents were reviewed for a complete match to the research question. Partial matches to the study topic were noted for comparison.
In this study, 39 articles were retrieved in full text for detailed examination, of which 32 did not comply with the full inclusion criteria. Seven articles defining discipline-linked competencies/curricula specific to medical leadership training were identified. These related to the areas of emergency medicine, general practice, maternal and child health, obstetrics and gynaecology, pathology, radiology and radiation oncology. Leadership interventions were critiqued in relation to key features of their design, development and content, with reference to modern leadership concepts.
There is limited discipline-specific guidance for the learning and teaching of leadership within medical specialty training programmes. The competency sets identified through this review may aid the development of learning interventions and tools for other medical disciplines.
The findings of this study provide a baseline for the further development, implementation and evaluation work required to embed leadership learning across all medical specialty training programmes.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how HRM practices enhance and/or impede the employment, participation, and well-being of workers with intellectual disabilities in three hotels located in Australia.
The research employs a case study methodology, including interviews with three HR managers, three department managers, 17 workers with intellectual disabilities, and focus groups of 16 supervisors and 24 work colleagues.
The research found that the opportunities to participate in work are driven primarily by developing a social climate that enables social cohesion through the altruistic motives of managers/supervisors and reciprocal relationships.
The findings lend support for the importance of both formal and informal HR practices, such as inclusive recruitment and selection, mentoring, and training and development, as well as individualised day-to-day support provided by supervisors and colleagues, to improve the participation and well-being of workers with an intellectual disability.

Information and communication technology (ICT) usage is pervasive among present day youth, with about 95% of youth ages 12–17 years reporting use of the Internet. Due to the proliferation of ICT use among this generation, it is important to understand the impacts of ICT usage on well-being. The goal of this study was to determine the impact of ICT usage on psychological well-being among a sample of urban, predominately African American youth.
Methodology/approach
Paper and pencil surveys were administered to fourth and fifth grade students enrolled in 27 elementary schools in the southeastern United States. Relationships between hours using various types of ICTs and the frequency of Internet activities on depression, hopelessness, self-esteem, and belonging were examined using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression.
Results indicate that ICT usage has both positive and negative implications for psychological well-being, depending upon the type of ICT use and outcome being examined.
The proliferation of ICT usage among present day youth may actually lessen its impact on psychological well-being. Since the amount of ICT usage does not seem to influence psychological well-being, future research should examine the impact of ICT content on psychological well-being.

Judge Sends Seattle Back to Drawing Board on Math Materials
By Erik W. Robelen — February 10, 2010 1 min read
In what seems like an unusual step by the judiciary, a judge in Washington state has ordered the Seattle school board to reconsider its choice of math materials for high schools across the district, reports the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
“The court finds, based upon a review of the entire administrative record, that there is insufficient evidence for any reasonable board member to approve the selection of the Discovering Series,” writes Judge Julie Spector from the King County Superior Court in her Feb. 4 decision.
The Seattle newspaper explains that last May, the board implemented a districtwide math curriculum called Discovering Math. Shortly thereafter, two parents and a University of Washington professor went to the King County Superior Court to overturn the board’s decision and compel the district to consider other textbook options.
The plaintiffs argued that the curricular materials would do more harm than good by widening the achievement gap between middle-class and underprivileged children, the Seattle paper explained.
In her opinion, the judge noted that a review last year conducted for the state board of education found the Discovering Series, published by Key Curriculum Press, to be “mathematically unsound.”
The school district, in a press release, said it expected to appeal the ruling: “This is a very surprising decision, and the district is now evaluating its next steps. Seattle Public Schools followed an extensive process in adopting these materials, which were thoroughly vetted by a diverse group, including mathematicians and teaching professionals.”

The then 28 year old Uli Fahl, was living in Munich at the time, and working as a chemical engineer in a large manufacturing plant for lubrications. Uli and wife Gisela spent their weekends rock climbing in the near by Alps. As not every location in the mountains was accessible by car, one of the newest Kettler Mountainbikes was bought. With all the climbing equipment on his back, Uli set off into the mountains. The euphoria about his brand new acquisition quickly diminished when the first climb was reached and Uli felt like much more like a mule with the load on his back. The necessity for weight shedding could not be denied.
View the 2015 Tune cataloge
Simple things, such as the toothbrush was shortened. But grabbed by the drive to shed more weight, Uli, satisfied with himself, realized that there was not much more weight to be shed from the equipment on his back. The decision was made: own components had to be created, so that bikes could be improved, look more attractive and most of all become lighter. As he was not alone, and many people complained about the much too heavy bikes, Uli then in 1989 established the company Tune.
Just the right timing for the upcoming light-weight tuning craze, Uli presented a sensationally light-weight quick release.This quick release, together with a bag of aluminium screws became the first product range of Tune. Very quickly the components became a must-have for every ambitious rider, as everyone tried to break the 13kg mark.
The demand grew and Uli took the opportunity and gave up his secure chemical engineering job in order to create weight-optimized bicycle products.
In 1991 the first Titanium bottom bracket, the AC 11 was presented. The construction with outwardly placed bearings and long BB bolts became an industry benchmark. The image step from back yard tinkerer to accredited weight weenie specialist was herewith accomplished.The office/living room in Munich soon became too small, and an old farmhouse in South Baden was bought. The new weight-weenie mecca was now in the 100 resident community of Muggart.
After the quick rise and numerous accomplishments, it was also time to withstand some difficulties.
New materials proved to be not adequately developed: neither the super light weight BB with Ceramic
bearings of a cost price of 3000Deutsche Mark, nor the seat post made of an all-new alloy brought the
much anticipated big cash. However, the crisis was overcome and Uli was able to learn his lesson.
At the end of 1994 the new cranks (Big Foot) are the bomb par se. Tune is delivering BB’s to frame builder
Klein in the States, and establishes as the light-weight specialist, even internationally. Uli starts to focus more
and more on hubs and wheels. “Wheels are the best place to save weight. Through the rotating mass, every
saved gram becomes an evident improvement” says Uli Fahl. The result is real high-tech hubs that, according
to many of the competition are far ahead of their time, super light-weight, yet strong enough to withstand the
forces they are exposed to. The company Tune becomes one of the big names in the industry and is one of very
few to survive the big collapse at end of the 90’s.
Uli’s secret is simple “Nature dictates everything.”
The following years find several prominent followers. Bike pros such as Jan Ulrich, Mike Kluge, Sabine Spitz and the Fumic Brothers swear by the light-weight components. Even the light-weight critics were taught better. Equipped with Tune hubs, cranks, QR’s and seatpost, Markus Klausmann has been winning downhill races for years. The now 12 x German DH champion, and former junior world cup champion shows that the Tune components withstand the hardest of abuse.
In the meantime, Tune has become the Godfather of light-weight componentry and has celebrated their 20th Anniversary in 2008.
Tune - Born in the Black Forest… What’s behind the slogan?
“Born in the Black Forest…” can be taken literally by all means! But it won’t start with the birth. Naturally, it all begins with the generation process – and even this takes place in the famous halls of TUNE! Lets begin with our developers: every single employee is one of them, because all of them are infected by the bike-virus in one way or another, whether singlespeeder, trial rider, downhiller, enduro-enthusiast, all mountain pilot, cross-country and marathon racer, roadie – the diversity is big, and hence also the associated idea and concept generation capabilities are likewise huge. Two engineers are responsible for the virtual creation of the best ideas on the screen, and with aid of massive computer processing power and additional brainpower, the prototyping stage is initiated on one of our CNC milling machines… …at this point we are talking about “Born in the black forest…”
Which materials are used?
Whipped cream, cherries, biscuit and Black Forest Kirsch-Schnapps are the ingredients of one of the most popular Black Forest specialties – Tune's goodies are made of aluminium, steel, ceramics, carbon fibre and the finest grades of titanium.
What is produced in-house?
The question would be easier to answer if one would be asked which of the parts are NOT produced in-house: and at this stage we will confess that none of us can sew or knit a T-Shirt, wheel-bag or socks... The complete selection of, for example, the hubs or stems are milled by our CNC machines. The titanium axles and the carbon and aluminium parts are assembled to quick releases in our assembly department and our wheelsets are built by hand in any imaginable rim, spoke and hub combination!
Which production methods are employed?
Aluminium components are milled on our state of the art CNC milling machines. We have a barrel finishing
machine which looks like a washing machine. It is used to deburr and polish our aluminium-parts by means
of small ceramic particles. After anodizing, the components are labeled in our labeling-department by a laser
engraving machine. Carbon fiber components such as our saddle “Komm-Vor“ are laminated by hand and
baked in our carbon baking oven. (To defeat any possible rumors which may arise at this point, we would
like to clearly point out that we DO NOT bake Black Forest Cakes in the above mentioned oven –
there are other specialists for that...)

Urban Meyer Updates the Progress of Ohio State's Offensive Line, is 'Really Impressed' With True Freshman Michael Jordan
By Eric Seger on March 29, 2016 at 1:15 pm @ericseger33
Spring Practice 2016
OSU Football
Email this Article Share on Reddit Share on Twitter Share on Facebook
When Ohio State convened for its team portion of practice Tuesday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, one noticeable change in its offensive line became the talk of its sixth installment of the spring.
True freshman and early enrollee Michael Jordan trotted out of the huddle with the first-team offense at left guard.
"He just loves it," head coach Urban Meyer said after practice of the 6-foot-7, 316-pound freshman from Canton, Michigan. "He doesn't know if it’s right or left sometimes, but at this point, we don't care."
That's the point Meyer and his staff hope to stress to the 2016 edition of the Ohio State Buckeyes as the calendar readies to flip from March to April and the annual spring game sits on the horizon. It doesn't matter if you screw up a drill or miss a blocking assignment, as long as you do it as hard as you possibly can.
According to Meyer, the 18-year-old Jordan understands just that.
"Come in for extra work, enjoy the game, enjoy the practice — he's done all that," Meyer said. "Really impressed with him."
With redshirt junior and soon-to-be three-year starter Billy Price working at right guard and fifth-year senior captain Pat Elflein shifting from guard to center, there remains a significant vacancy on the interior of Ohio State's offensive line this spring. Tackles Chase Farris and Taylor Decker also graduated, part of a hefty turnover the offense endured following a 12-1 season a year ago.
“Whoever plays that position, we can't drop off. Went from (Andrew) Norwell, Marcus Hall to Billy Price and Pat Elflein. We're not going to drop off.”– Urban Meyer
And, it puts the onus on new offensive line coach Greg Studrawa.
"Whoever plays that position, we can't drop off," Meyer said. "Went from (Andrew) Norwell, Marcus Hall to Billy Price and Pat Elflein. We're not going to drop off."
That is loads of talent, considering Norwell started in Super Bowl 50 for the Carolina Panthers in February and Price and Elflein can definitely play at the next level. Hall earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors in 2013 when the Buckeyes set a program record with 6.8 yards per rush.
Decker is a likely first round pick next month, so there are big shoes to fill by the offensive linemen who sat behind him and others for two seasons.
"Isaiah Prince is doing better and better and so is Jamarco Jones," Meyer said. "Kind of solidified that. The backup tackles, we moved (Brandon) Bowen out there. He's doing OK."
Jones and Prince worked with the first team in the portion Ohio State allowed the media to watch practice Tuesday morning, but even they will have competition on the outside this fall once junior college transfer and 2016 commitment Malcolm Pridgeon arrives from New York.
Meyer also mentioned sophomore Demetrius Knox as "close" and junior Evan Lisle as "doing OK," with the former rolling his ankle during Saturday's scrimmage.
Meyer constantly prods the idea that Ohio State is "an offensive line-driven program." After the exit of three starters and Silver Football winner Ezekiel Elliott, work remains before kickoff against Bowling Green at Ohio Stadium Sept. 3.
"We're still trying to find that starting five," Meyer said.

2020 Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric P8 review
The quickest and most environmentally-friendly way to empty your bank balance
APPARENTLY this is Volvo’s first pure-electric production car. I had to double-check that because it seems like Volvo has been making electric vehicles for ages – a version of the big XC90 has been sold with a plug since 2016, and before that a plug-in version of the V60 estate was introduced to the world in 2011. But those were hybrids rather than fully electric models.
So here it is – the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, kicking off a new 100% electron-fuelled era for Volvo. It joins petrol, mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the compact SUV, meaning customers now have a wide choice of powertrains to suit their requirements.
It’s likely the Recharge Pure Electric will remain a niche choice at first, as the launch model – the P8 First Edition – is by some way the priciest XC40 you can buy, at an eye-watering £59,985 on the road. Yes, I know. But before you click away, you should know that there will be cheaper versions coming next year.
And actually, you get a serious bit of kit for your money: two electric motors – one on the front axle and one on the rear – producing a whopping 402bhp, which is the exact same figure as an Audi e-tron 55 quattro. Its 487 lb ft of torque – the twisting force, or punch, if you like – is near enough the same as the Audi’s, too. Yet the Volvo has it licked in a 0-62ph sprint, taking just 4.9secs compared to 5.7secs.
It’s not an ideal comparison because the e-tron is a bigger car, so you’d expect it to be a bit heavier and more expensive. But the fact that the Volvo can go further on a charge (280 miles versus 240) and the Audi costs upwards of £61,000 is food for thought. And the Jaguar I-Pace costs at least £65,000.
It may be harder to convince potential buyers not to have their heads turned by the Tesla Model 3, which is a different type of car altogether (a saloon) but can carry four in comfort, is quicker, goes further and costs less. The Volvo looks like crazy money, too, when you can pick up an entry-level Polestar 2 for around £46,000, and the two Swedish brands are actually stablemates, sharing much of the same technology.
Stay with me, though, as there’s still a lot going for the Volvo XC40 Recharge P8. Its shape and size may be ideal for many customers – a commanding driving position yet compact dimensions are likely to tick important boxes. It’s a cracking-looking car, too, with very few changes over the petrol XC40 (even the recharging socket is in the position as the petrol filler cap, on the left rear wing), other than the body colour-matched grille cover and a couple of unique and fetching paint colours.
The watchphrase of our press brief was “no compromises” – it was mentioned three or four times. It’s hard to disagree when you look at the size of the boot, which has the same 452-litre capacity (to the parcel shelf) as the petrol model. Space for front and rear passengers is the same, too, with no reduction in headroom or legroom. This is because, as you find in Teslas, the battery pack is stored under the floor. In fact there’s actually more luggage space in the pure-electric XC40 thanks to a 31-litre compartment under the bonnet, which is useful for charging cables.
It recharges fast, too – the XC40 Recharge P8 can take 150kW rapid charging, which means you can fill from empty to 80% in just 40 minutes, making long motorway journeys much less of a chore – a coffee and comfort break is enough time to put plenty of miles back in the battery, at a rate of around 50-60 miles every ten minutes. A full charge at home can be achieved overnight, of course, so you will have the maximum range every morning.
I did find one compromise, though, in that the wading depth drops in the electric model – customers are told that standing water must reach no higher than door sill, rather than the 450mm of the petrol models, and they mustn’t drive through any faster than walking pace. Oh, and the maximum towing weight is 1,500kg, whereas the other XC40s can pull 1,600-2,100kg, depending on which engine you go for.
Our test drive was on a rainy day and although there wasn’t standing water, the road surface was very wet. Grip was no problem for this four-wheel-drive version running on Continental-shod 19in wheels, though – roundabouts were dispatched with supreme confidence, the car showing little roll and all four wheels working in harmony to allow swift, safe pull away from tight turns, even under hard acceleration. Some understeer can be provoked if you stab the accelerator while turning the wheel on a slippery surface but even then the XC40 Recharge P8 never feels any less than under control.
It’s really quick, too – pushing the right pedal hard from any speed results in instant thrust, making overtakes extremely quick and easy from any speed.
Not that this is a car that urges you to drive fast. The calming, minimalist interior is a masterclass in decluttering and zen design that matches an electric powertrain perfectly. With an electric car, you enjoy the immediate turn of speed in the first few weeks of ownership before settling down into a rhythm of eking out every last mile from the battery. Before you realise it, you’ve become a hypermiler.
Dark materials were used predominantly on the inside of our test car but the ambience was lifted through the use of aluminium accents (the concave panel that runs horizontally across the dash is a classy touch) and contrast stitching, and there’s a solid feel to switches, knobs and dials.
Any driver fed up with the myriad driving modes found on modern cars will also appreciate the fact that there are no such options on the XC40 Recharge P8. There’s no Sport mode, no Comfort Setting, no Snow and Ice mode… you simply get in and drive. Literally, in fact, as the stripping away of interior distractions goes as far as to remove the Start/Stop button – the car switches on when you sit down, thanks to pressure sensors in the seat. To start driving, you simply slide the gear lever into D.
There are a couple of adjustments that can be made to the way the car feels, via the infotainment touchscreen – you can make the steering lighter and turn on “one pedal mode”, which increases the regenerative braking power – but that’s about it.
The touchscreen itself is a real highlight. It’s the first application in a Volvo of the Android operating system that debuted on the Polestar 2. It has four main areas – mapping, audio, phone and the last-used app – with the ability to add apps from the Google Play store. You can run Spotify, Audible or a podcasting app, for example. And iPhone users need not be put off – you will still be able to connect via Bluetooth for calls and to stream audio from the phone. It’s a highly responsive, easy to navigate system that really raises the infotainment game for Volvo.
The mapping is particularly smart, as it uses Google Navigation as the default, which is much better at negotiating traffic than many other in-built sat navs, and it integrates with the car’s onboard computer to tell you how much battery will be remaining when you reach your destination, and suggests where you might like to recharge if it’s required en route.
Our driving loop was 49 miles on mostly A and B roads with a decent amount of 50-70mph stretches. Starting with a full battery, the XC40 told me I’d have 72% range left at the end of it. Actually, at the end I had 73% battery remaining even though I hadn’t been particularly easy on the accelerator, which suggests the person who drove it before me was even more aggressive with the right foot. Being more eco-minded would extend the range further.
Another thing the XC40 Pure Electric has going for it is safety. In fact, Volvo claims it is one of the safest cars on the road, thanks to the removal of the engine allowing them to rethink the front crash structure entirely – there’s no big, solid lump of pistons and petrol there anymore, and the electric motors are attached to the axles rather than under the bonnet. We know from Tesla crash tests that this layout does hugely improve crash test results.
What’s more, the battery is contained in a bespoke safety cage, and the car is peppered with all-round “next gen” radars, cameras and ultrasonic sensors, to detect obstacles and even help avoid collisions at any speed (from standstill to highway). The Pilot Assist system definitely takes the strain out of motorway driving, while it’s god to know pedestrians and cyclists will be detected while motoring around town.
This Volvo XC40 Pure Electric P8 is undeniably a fabulous machine. It’s great to look at, sit in and drive, and the creature comforts (even rear passengers get heated seats) and technology are really first rate. Still, you can’t ignore the high price of the First Edition and even though its fully-loaded with tech, and company car drivers pay nothing in benefit-in-kind in the 2020/21 tax year (then 1% in 2021/22), most people will baulk at the near-£60,000 cost.
If it does put you off, the cheaper versions of the XC40 Pure Electric, available from the first half of next year, are arguably worth waiting for. Exactly what form they will take is still to be announced but it’s safe to assume there will be a single motor version as well as a lower-powered model, and perhaps one with a smaller battery.
All of those possibilities will change the character of the car and in the case of the single motor version no doubt to the detriment of its dynamic ability, but as the prices will be easier to swallow they may be compromises many customers are willing to accept.

Cannabidiol for Depression: Issues and Prospects
By William Kellogg
The recent observation of that Cannabidiol has an effect in reducing the symptoms of depression, and depressive disorders have led to the explosion of CBD products in the last decade. There many controversies including regulatory, safety and effectiveness surrounding its use.
In a translational investigation of the therapeutic potential of Cannabidiol (CBD), Jose et al. (2018) were able to discover that CBD has anxiolytic, antipsychotic and neuroprotective properties. The study was a non-systematic search for studies dealing with therapeutic applications of CBD, especially the ones conducted by Brazilian researchers.
CBD oil is essentially a natural product made from cannabidiol that has been diluted in some type of oil, usually essential oils or lipid soluble hydrophobic solvents. Cannabidiol is a cannabinoid derived from cannabis plants like marijuana or hemp. It has been reported that CBD oil does not produce the psychoactive side effects seen with the use of marijuana because the CBD has been isolated from the many other cannabinoids in the plant. THC (Tetrahydrocannabidiol) specifically, which is the cannabinoid that is associated with the “high” feeling many people experience following the use of this natural plant product, is not present in CBD oil products. Lately, CBD oil has emerged as a potential treatment option for a variety of conditions, including anxiety, epilepsy, depression, and pain disorders
The limited regulatory control over natural products including phytochemicals, the chemical variability, lack of harmonized approach to clinical trials and the limited evidence-based pharmaceutical solution that will prove that CBD treats depression for which physicians would prescribe with some level of confidence for the management of individuals living with depression. Despite the developments in the CBD market, a sound pharmaceutical approach would be needed to bring this product to hospital dispensaries. This requires that regulatory, quality and compliance issues of pharmaceutical product development must be complied with. Although plants have been historical sources of medicines since the time of Dioscorides and they account for over 25% of over-the-counter medicines even in the United States. And many more account for prescription medicines. Digoxin, for instance, is widely used for acute heart failure attacks. Artemisinin is widely used for the treatment of malaria in malaria-endemic regions such as sub-Saharan Africa and Some parts of Asia. It should be remembered that these products were subject to extensive research and pharmaceutical analysis from the identification of therapeutic target down to commercialization. The CBD market, on the other hand, is a lot different. From the standpoint of pharmaceutical development, it is difficult to produce adequate blinding in clinical trials of psychoactive drugs such as CBD. The product is psychoactive. This means that issues of dependency and precipitation of withdrawal symptoms following discontinuance of therapy cannot be ignored. Other cognitive problems that might result from the use of this natural product such as impairment of short term memory cannot be ignored. However, the use of Cannabinol for the treatment of depression appears promising although sufficient clinical trials and laboratory investigations are yet to commence. But the continuing popularity of CBD products for depression makes this subject worthy of investigation. For treatment of depression to be effective, psychotherapy and thorough monitoring must also be integrated. Conventional medications for the management of depression includes drugs such as Fluoxetine (Prozac), Citalopram, Amitriptyline, Imipramine, and Nortriptyline. These drugs have a uniform mechanism of action which is to increase the concentration of stimulant substances in the brain to improve the depressive symptoms.
Jose et al. concluded that more controlled clinical trials with different and larger neuropsychiatric populations will be required to bring important answers in the near future and support the translation of research findings to clinical settings which will be able to validate the therapeutic potentials of CBD.
