Institute of Development Studies, University of Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
In the attempt to move towards universal health coverage (UHC), many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are actively seeking to contract-out non-state providers (NSPs) to deliver health services to a specified population. Research on contracting-out has focused more on the impact of contracting-out than on the actual processes underlying the intervention and contextual factors that influence its performance. This paper reports on perceptions of stakeholders on contracting-out faith-based hospitals through service agreements (SAs) to provide primary healthcare services in Tanzania.
We adopted a qualitative descriptive case study design. Qualitative research tools included document review and in-depth interviews with key informants, and data were analysed using a thematic approach.
Stakeholders reported mixed perceptions on the SA. The government considered the SA as an important mechanism for improving access to primary healthcare services where there were no public hospitals. The faith-based hospitals viewed the SA as a means of overcoming serious budget and human resource constraints as a result of the tightening funding environment. However, constant delays in disbursement of funds, mistrust among partners, and ineffective contract enforcement mechanisms resulted into negative perceptions of the SA.
SAs between local governments and faith-based hospitals were perceived to be important by both parties. However, in order to implement SAs effectively, the districts should diversify the sources of financing the contracts. In addition, the government and the faith-based organizations should continually engage in dialogue so as to build more trust between the partners involved in the SA. Furthermore, the central government needs to play a greater role in building the capacity of district and regional level actors in monitoring the implementation of the SA.

What Motivates You?
By: Liz Moore
This morning I had a conversation with a client about motivation. She is on her own fitness journey, working hard, and wanted to know what motivates me in my fitness journey. Here is what I responded:
1. I love feeling the adrenaline in my veins. It reminds me of when I ran track in high school. I ran the 4×100 4×200 and 4×400 meter relays. The girls I ran these relays with, I will never forgot them, and I’m still friends with them today. I loved passing other runners and running the final 100 yards past the stands and hearing my teammates cheering. When I workout now, no one is cheering, but that same feeling I used to get running track is what I feel during a great workout. Sometimes I still get goosebumps. I love that adrenaline feeling.
2. I take pride in my body and how I feel. I like how my body looks and feels when I’m on a regular workout schedule. I have more energy and am confident in myself. The older I get, the harder it is to maintain my body. But I love the challenge and the time I spend training. I love the feeling after a workout: I feel a sense of accomplishment that I can’t find doing anything else. We only get one body and I want to look and feel the best I can with this one body.
3. Lastly, I love helping people and answering this question, “What motivates you?” I hope this message can inspire at least one of you to get in a great workout today or continue your healthy lifestyle!
So, what motivates YOU?!?

Meet ALEX: The Alabama Experience
In partnership with Atlas RFID Solutions, economic development leaders in Alabama created an interactive expo debuting at the 2022 World Games. RAIN RFID connectivity and the Impinj RAIN RFID readers were key to the automated, personalized experience.
Promoting Alabama career opportunities and lifestyle through engaging technology
When Birmingham, Alabama, was chosen to host the 2022 World Games that July, the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama (EDPA) and Mike Oatridge, President of Strategic Workforce Solutions, saw an opportunity to capture the attention of the 500,000-plus spectators expected to attend the Olympics-style sports event. The organization introduced ALEX: The Alabama Experience, an attraction that would showcase the U.S. state of Alabama as an appealing place to live, work and play through the use of technology delivered by one of Alabama’s own, Atlas RFID Solutions.
The mobile, immersive exhibit, in a large tent at World Games Plaza during the duration of the games, featured a collection of interactive kiosks and informational displays promoting every aspect of life in Alabama. Developed by Impinj gold partner and Alabama-based business Atlas RFID Solutions, it offered visitors an inside look at careers, educational opportunities, and cost of living comparisons between Alabama communities and those beyond the state. It included comparisons that enabled users to see how housing, transportation, groceries, entertainment, and health and wellness vary across the seven workforce regions in Alabama and other metropolitan cities in the country.
Powered by RAIN RFID, ALEX used visitor-supplied data and real-time input to create a “choose your own adventure” type of experience unique to each user through videos, graphics, virtual reality, and other media. For example, visitors could choose from 189 career paths in Alabama to explore, comparing and contrasting the cost of living and earnings potential in Alabama with other regions and cities in the country.
“Atlas is responsible for the visitor’s interactive journey that a user will experience when navigating through ALEX,” said Matt Pears, Director of Solutions for Atlas RFID Solutions. “This particular project includes elements that have interactivity, RFID hardware, custom software development, and other professional services – all required to facilitate the project’s success. The fact that the project location is in our backyard makes this partnership a great fit.”
Using RAIN RFID to personalize the experience
Atlas RFID Solutions served as ALEX’s technical user experience coordinator, leading the application development of ALEX and creating the technical framework, kiosk design, and software that guided visitors through the exhibits. The Atlas team provided the planning, hardware, and services, for the showcase, leveraging its vast experience in developing customized solutions.
"Atlas RFID Solutions provided an IoT solution using RFID technology to connect people and physical data points to the customer's digital system,” Pears said. “Using RFID, Atlas was able to provide a solution to deliver the vision of the EDPA and Strategic Workforce Solutions.”
RAIN RFID’s passive, battery-free connectivity was key to the automated, personalized experience, along with a system of visitor ID badges and Impinj RAIN RFID readers.
Here’s how it worked:
- Using an RFID-enabled badge, visitors interacted with kiosks throughout the ALEX exhibit.
- ALEX was laid out in sections with the kiosks set up in four stations, where each station educated visitors and then prompted them to continue to the next section in their journey.
- At the start of their journey, when visitors first walked inside the tent, they were handed a badge that allowed them to interact with the first set of kiosks - the Greeters. The greeter kiosks helped visitors register and set up their profiles, with the option to start the experience anonymously.
- The RFID tag was associated with the individual’s information so that whenever their badge was scanned, the kiosk automatically recognized their information and progress. After registering, the kiosk then guided visitors to the next station of awaiting kiosks - the Career section.
- When visitors scanned their badges at the career kiosk, they were free to choose the career path that interested them across industries. They were presented with information and data for the selected career path, such as salary ranges, companies hiring, and job openings for each of the seven regions in Alabama. Visitors were able to compare the different regions. After visitors learned about Alabama’s career options, they were directed to an Education kiosk.
- After finishing the various lifestyle kiosks, ALEX guests were directed to choose between two walkways - one to learn more about regions 1 - 4 and the other to learn more about regions 5-7. Along these walkways, visitors learned more about the region’s attractions, landmarks, and even famous celebrities from the area of their choice.
- While touring the interactive exhibit, RFID readers gathered data from their connected badges and presented personalized media and information tailored to the visitor’s selections, highlighting industries and opportunities related to their preferences.
- Once ALEX visitors completed the exhibit, they were guided to a representative who helped them further explore educational opportunities of interest.
Elevating ‘yesterday’s job fair’ with RAIN RFID
The Atlas RFID ALEX solution, featuring kiosks, Impinj RAIN RFID readers, Microsoft Surface Tablets, and additional RFID devices, was a reinvention of yesterday’s employee recruitment efforts, which relied on printed pamphlets and employer booths where job seekers visited with recruiters. The use of RAIN RFID at ALEX:
- Created a personalized experience for visitors, allowing them to streamline their job search and zero in on the careers, housing, and lifestyle opportunities that interested them the most.
- Provided key informational visitor data to employers and educational institutions so they could follow up and help visitors continue their workforce journey.
- Leveraged engaging technology that reached visitors more personally, far beyond how an “old-fashioned” job fair ever could.
Creating a framework for future deployments
More than 12,300 visitors experienced ALEX throughout the World Games’ 10-day run in Birmingham. Thousands of individuals provided crucial information, which organizers utilized to facilitate connections with employers.
Based on the success of ALEX at The World Games, the goal was to expand the reach of the experience beyond this event, and that has happened. ALEX has been showcased at the Indy Grand Prix, in Birmingham, Alabama, the 2nd Annual Governor’s Summit on Talent Retention and Work-Based Learning, in Mobile, Alabama, the Music City Grand Prix, in Nashville, TN, and more. ALEX is now a mobile 18-wheeler, completely built out to offer an on-the-move, interactive experience.

This Ganpati season actor Gavie Chehal has one fervent prayer towards Lord Ganesha, that he takes care of his dearest father.
Gavie tells us, "I'm right now at my native place in Punjab. My father is really down with prostate cancer and he has to be admitted in the hospital. So I'm really busy with all the formalities that need to be done before admitting him."
The actor has had to turn down all the invitations that he received from his friends in Mumbai. He says, "I've told all my friends who invited me to come for Ganpati darshan at their homes, to excuse me this year. But I requested that they pray for my father."
Gavie also has to keep aside all work for some time now. He tells us, "There were few projects that I was considering. But now due to such unexpected turn of events, I'll have to hold all my work. Let's hope I have the luxury of taking back my chosen projects when I return to Mumbai."
We lend our support and well wishes to Gavie's father in this hour of need!!

Is Jism 2 title track a copy?
While netizens are working overtime to point out how the title track of " Jism 2" starring Randeep Hooda, Sunny Leone and Arunoday Singh could be a copy of a Turkish song, what's giving an interesting spin to the copy-original debate is that there are actually two sources that are being spoken about in the context of this Hindi number.
While one is Kayahan's "Bizimkisi bir ask hikayesi", the other is Bengu's "Unut beni". In the midst of this confusion is composer Arko Pravo Mukherjee, who is making his Bollywood debut with "Jism 2".
For those not in the loop, Kayahan is a Turkish pop singer and composer, who has released more than eight bestselling albums during a career spanning 30 years. Bengu Erden, on the other hand, is a 33-year-old Turkish pop music singer with seven music albums to her credit.
When we got in touch with Arko about the controversy surrounding his Ali Azmat number, he said, "Every composer is inspired. There is no copyright to folk songs like "Dama dam mast kalandar". That's why we get so many versions of it. There are some West Asian tunes that have a generic melody. I have heard a lot of such tunes that could have inspired me both consciously or subconsciously. The opening melodies of many Turkish songs are similar. In fact, some of my friends have told me that they have come across at least four songs with similar opening melodies as that of "Yeh jism". I still feel people ought to hear my song in totality before jumping the gun."
As far as controversies are concerned, Arko said, "I don't really care. I make my music. The media writes. People listen and either like or don't like it. Let's do our jobs and get on with it. Pritam is an awesome composer and the media says I am another Pritam in the making, I take it as a compliment."

IPL 2023: RCB vs GT, Today Match Prediction - With their fate lying in the weather's hands, Royal Challengers Bangalore face defending champions Gujarat Titans in the final league stage game in IPL 2023. The game might not be of much importance for the table-toppers and already-qualified GT, but it is of great importance for their opponents. A win and RCB are all but through.
RCB's Big three face Big Challenge
RCB's big three - Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell have hit most of their team's runs this season. The batting revolves around them and one or two of these three have always scored runs in RCB's wins. But they face a big challenge of Rashid Khan and Mohammed Shami, the tournament's leading wicket-takers.
Will GT opt to rest a few players?
GT will remain on the top spot of the points table after the league stage as they have 18 points and are an unassailable gap from other teams. They will face Chennai in the first playoff on May 23. Considering this, they can opt to rest a few players. They might not consider rushing back Vijay Shankar, who missed the previous game due to injury.
Match: IPL 2023, Match 69
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Date & Time: Sunday, May 21, 3:30 PM IST
Broadcast and Live Streaming: Star Sports Network and JioCinema
Pitch and weather
The pitch at the at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium is a belter for the batters. The average first innings total here is 194 and there have been a few 200-plus scores already.
The weather is not good for the game. It has rained in Bengaluru on match day and the same is predicted for the evening too. We might have weather interruptions in the game.
Best batter Prediction: Glenn Maxwell can be a batter to watch out for. If the game is curtailed by rain, a batter like Maxwell is very crucial to help his team in a DLS situation.
Best bowler Predicition: Rashid Khan can be a bowler to watch out for. He has got Faf du Plessis out three times in 8 T20 innings. Rashid is also the joint-highest wicket-taker in the season with 23 scalps to his name.
Match winner Prediction: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

On 15th August 1947, the Indian flag fluttered in the horizon of Bharat to winds of freedom. India had finally broken the chains of British colonization. The British had left India scruffy with the pockmark of cruel blood-spattered partition. India and Pakistan were born as the eventual children of the divide and rule protocol that the British successfully implemented and left the Indian soil with sarcasm to mock and cradle.
The non-violent movement for freedom that had finally reaped the fruit of independence for India had for all times created customary cross-border violence with Pakistan. The partition of India and the creation of Pakistan was fodder for both the countries to engage in combat and an opportunity for other sly countries to profit from these warfare situations.
Post independence, both India and Pakistan struggled to establish themselves as new countries on the global map. The constitution was given shape to replace the Government of India Act 1935 adopted by the English crown. Ensuring constitutional autonomy, the prior Acts of the British parliament in Article 395 were revoked.
Bharat was to be governed on the terms and conditions put forward in the Constitution of India which was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26th November 1949 and came into force on 26th January 1950. Bharat became the Sovereign Socialist Democratic Republic with a parliamentary system of government. The word Secular was added much later in the year 1975 to the Preamble of the Indian constitution.
Recognizing the Gallants
On 26th January 1950 along with the Constitution of India, the first three gallantry awards of independent Bharat, namely Param Vir Chakra (PVC), Maha Vir Chakra (MVC), and Vir Chakra (VC) had been established.
These recognitions of gallantry and martyrdom were instituted by the Government of India on 26th January 1950 which were deemed to have effect from the 15th August 1947. Of the three gallantry awards instituted the highest gallantry award of Bharat was/is the Param Vir Chakra – The Wheel of the Ultimate Brave.
On 26th January 1950, the first Param Vir Chakra was posthumously awarded to Major Somnath Sharma for his supreme sacrifice in the battle of Badgam, Jammu, and Kashmir sector; in action on 3rd November 1947. Major General Amar Nath Sharma received India’s first and highest wartime gallantry medal, Param Vir Chakra, on behalf of his son.
The other gallants who were awarded with the PVC along with Major Somnath Sharma in India’s first Republic day Parade were Naik Jadunath Singh in action on 6 February 1948; Second Lieutenant Rama Raghoba Rane, in action on 8 April 1948; Company Havaldar Major Piru Singh in action on 17 July 1948; Lance Naik Karam Singh, 13th October 1948. All the gallants mentioned were martyred in action in the 1947 -48 Indo Pak war, Jammu and Kashmir sector.
Independent India’s first Param Vir Chakra
Major Somnath Sharma’s, martyrdom conveys the vigor and the steel he had in himself to hold on the post with his small platoon of soldiers. Major Somnath Sharma was killed by mortar fire. His unrecognizable body was received three days later, with a few pages of the Bhagavad Gita in his chest pocket.
The thunderbolt like the power he possessed while in ambush made him the recipient of the first and highest gallantry award of Independent India –The Param Vir Chakra. On 21 June 1950, Major Somnath Sharma’s Param Vir Chakra, for his actions on 3 November 1947 was gazetted.
The citation reads
On 3 November 1947, Major Somnath Sharma’s company was ordered on a fighting patrol to Badgam in the Kashmir Valley . He reached his objective at first light on 3 November and took up a position south of Badgam at 11:00 hours. The enemy, estimated at about 500 attacked his company position from three sides; the company began to sustain heavy casualties. Fully realizing the gravity of the situation and the direct threat that would result to both the aerodrome and Srinagar via Hum Hom, Major Somnath Sharma urged his company to fight the enemy tenaciously. With extreme bravery, he kept rushing across the open ground to his sections exposing himself to heavy and accurate fire to urge them to hold on. Keeping his nerve, he skillfully directed the fire of his sections into the ever-advancing enemy. He repeatedly exposed himself to the full fury of enemy fire and laid out cloth strips to guide our aircraft onto their targets in full view of the enemy. Realizing that casualties had affected the effectiveness of his light automatics, this officer whose left hand was in plaster, personally commenced filling magazines and issuing them to the light machine gunners. A mortar shell landed right in the middle of the ammunition resulting in an explosion that killed him. Major Sharma’s company held on to this position and the remnants withdrew only when almost completely surrounded. His inspiring example resulted in the enemy being delayed for six hours, thus gaining time for our reinforcements to get into position at Hum Hom to stem the tide of the enemy advance. His leadership, gallantry, and tenacious defense were such that his men were inspired to fight the enemy by seven to one, six hours after this gallant officer had been killed. He has set an example of courage and qualities seldom equaled in the history of the Indian Army. His last message to the Brigade Headquarters a few moments before he was killed was, ‘the enemy are only 50 yards from us. We are heavily outnumbered. We are under devastating fire. I shall not withdraw an inch but will fight to the last man and the last round.’
— Gazette Notification: 2 Pres /50, 21.6.50,
The extraordinary heroism displayed by Major Somnath Sharma was perhaps the reason for the design illustration of the Param Vir Chakra that was inspired by Indra’s unmatched weapon, Vajra- The thunderbolt.
The Legend of Indra’s Vajra
The ornamentation of the Param Vir Chakra symbolizes the sacrifice of Rishi Dadhichi, who dedicated his bones to the Devatas to create the vajra, the ultimate weapon used to kill Asura Vritra.
As per Puranic literature, Indra, the king of Swarga- heaven was once driven out of his kingdom by a demon named Vritra. Asura Vritra also stole all the water available in the world for his own use and for the use of his Asura army.
Asura Vritra aimed at finishing humankind leaving them to die of thirst and hunger. His motive was to allow no God or Demi-God to stay alive to challenge his place in Swarga.
Vritra had acquired a boon that he could not be killed by any known weapon in use. He would not be killed by anything that was either wet or dry or any weapon made of wood or metal. The boon made him imperishable.
With extreme nervousness and fear of Asura Vritra’s boon power, Indra approached Lord Vishnu for help. Shri Vishnu revealed to Indra that the only weapon that could kill Vritra Asura was a thunderbolt made from the bones of the Maharishi Dadhichi.
Indra then requested Maharishi Dadhichi to make the eventual sacrifice of laying down his life so that his skeleton could be used for making the thunderbolt. Maharishi Dadhichi accepted the request, but desired to first go on a pilgrimage to all the holy rivers. Indra then brought together all the waters of the holy rivers to Maharishi Dadhichi.
Maharishi Dadhichi fulfilled his last wish and then gave up his body. After Maharishi Dadhichi’s death Lord Vishnu relegated the Divine armourer, Tvashta to create a spectacular weapon for Indra using which he could annihilate the dreadful Asuras and their king Asura Vritra.
Thus the Vajra was made from Rishi Dadhichi’s bones. This Vajra was the ultimate weapon used by Indra to defeat Vritra Asura, allowing Indra to regain his place as the king of Indrapuri and also in releasing the water for all living beings.
वज्रस्य भारत् भुवनस्य गोप्ता वृत्रस्य हन्ता नमुचेर्निहन्ता ।
कृष्णे वसानो वसने महात्मा सत्यानृते यो विविनक्ति लोके ॥
vajrasya bhartā bhuvanasya goptā vṛtrasya hantā namucernihantā |
kṛṣṇe vasāno vasane mahātmā satyānṛte yo vivinakti loke ||
– The Mahābhārata
Meaning: O wielder of the Vajra, protector of the universe, the slayer of Vṛtra and Namuci. O illustrious one, who wears the black cloth, and displays the truth and untruth of the universe.
Design illustrations of the Param Vir Chakra
The Param Vir Chakra was designed by Shrimati Savitri Bai Khanolkar, born as Eve Yvonne Maday de Maros in Switzerland. She married an Indian Army Captain, Vikram Ramji Khanolkar in 1932.
Post marriage she changed her name to Savitri Bai Khanolkar, and acquired Indian citizenship. Post India’s independence in 1947, Adjutant General Major General Hira Lal Atal assigned Shrimati Savitri Bai the task to design India’s highest award for bravery in combat, the Param Vir Chakra.
Savitri Bai’s fascination towards Hindu scriptures, her knowledge of India’s ancient Puranic literature, history, and legends inspired her to create the design of the Param Vir Chakra. She drew inspiration from Indra’s Vajra that could only be crafted due to the sacrifice of Rishi Dadhichi who selflessly perished for saving Humankind. The same selflessness can be seen in all the Param Vir Chakra awardees.
The Param Vir Chakra is cast in bronze having a radius of 13/8 inch (41.275 mm). In the centre, on a raised circle, is the state emblem- The Ashoka Stambha, surrounded by four replicas of Indra’s Vajra, flanked by swords.
The decoration is suspended from a straight swiveling suspension bar and is held by a 32 mm purple ribbon. On the reverse, around a plain centre, are two lotus flowers. The words “Param Vir Chakra” are embossed both in Hindi and English.
The Param Vir Chakra is India’s utmost military ornamentation, awarded for the display of illustrious acts of bravery during wartime. It is an honor granted for – ‘the most conspicuous bravery in the presence of the enemy’. The Param Vir Chakra has been awarded 21 times, of which 14 were awarded posthumously. Of the 21 awardees, 20 have been from the Indian Army, and one has been from the Indian Air Force.
Every Indian soldier in uniform- olive, white and blue is a Vajra. Each one is a Dadhichi willing to give up his blood and bones to safeguard the soil of Bharat. Every soldier is a thunderbolt representing intensity towards duty, indestructible bravery, and immense dedication for the motherland.
“Some goals are so worthy, it’s glorious even to fail!”

‘Law And Order: SVU’ Season 19: Brooke Shields Lands Major Recurring Role, Shakes Up Olivia Benson’s World
Law & Order: SVU Season 19 will be adding some new cast members. As Yahoo! TV recently reported, one of those is Philip Winchester, who played Peter Stone on Chicago Justice. One more new cast member includes Brooke Shields, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The actress landed a major part that will be recurring throughout the upcoming season. Although there were few details about her character, one tidbit has fans talking.
Shields has a long history of being in front of the camera. She is a household name and has been in the entertainment business for many years. She has appeared in both film and television, including making appearances in Suddenly Susan, Lipstick Jungle, Army Wives, Nip/Tuck, and That ’70s Show. Out of all those parts, Brooke’s character on Law & Order: SVU will be very different from what she is used to.
“I play a very different character from any I have ever played. I’m excited to stir the SVU pot a bit.”
Not only will she be stirring the pot, she will shake up Olivia Benson‘s (Mariska Hargitay) world. It sounds interesting and fans are speculating on what kind of role Shields will play in the series. The fact that she has a major role and it is recurring makes it likely that she will either be part of the police department, district attorney’s office, or perhaps even an investigator. There is also the chance that she is someone who has some type of connection with Olivia outside of the Special Victims Unit.
It was recently reported that Philip Winchester will continue playing Peter Stone, just on a different show and in a new city. As fans may recall, he portrayed the assistant state’s attorney in Chicago Justice, which was canceled in the first season. Moving him to Law & Order: SVU won’t be too difficult since the character is the son of Benjamin Stone (Michael Moriarty). If that name sounds familiar, it is because Benjamin was the ADA during the first four seasons of the original Law & Order TV show.
The actress will be joining SVU cast members Mariska Hargitay, Kelli Giddish, Peter Scanavino, Raul Esparza, and Ice-T. In May, Entertainment Weekly reported that the show aired its 400th episode, making it the longest-running primetime television series in history.
What kind of character do you think Brooke Shields will play on the NBC crime drama? How will she shake up Olivia Benson’s world? Find out when Law & Order: SVU Season 19 premieres on September 27.

The first ever Motul Canada Cup MiniSBK season kicked off in thrilling fashion on Saturday, as rising star Vincent Lalande won the opening race of the feature series at the Lombardy Raceway, presented by the Super Sonic Road Race School.
The new championship sees the riders of the future battle on identical Ohvale machines mounted with Pirelli tires and backed by Motul oil, with the goal of producing top-level Canadian racers and improving their path to the world stage.
Lalande, just 14 years old, entered the inaugural round of the new MiniSBK series with no prior experience aboard his Ohvale, but that didn’t seem to faze him one bit as he nearly snatched the first ever pole position in Canada Cup history, an honour that ultimately went to fellow teenager Ben Hardwick by just 0.012 seconds early on Saturday afternoon.
The duo would have just mere hours to evaluate the 700m Lombardy circuit before returning for race one, but the best was still to come for their budding rivalry. After a spirited battle throughout the race, Hardwick entered the last lap with a slim advantage before he and Lalande exchanged the lead three more times, with Lalande making the decisive move in the final long, sweeping corner en route to a photo-finish victory by roughly a hundredth of a second.
The two were joined on the podium by Merick Summer, who rode an equally impressive race to complete the rostrum in the first half of the round one doubleheader. All three riders had high praise for one another on the post-race podium, but that didn’t distract from what is likely just the beginning of a long rivalry between a group of future stars in Canadian racing.
Outside of the feature category, Lalande and Hardwick had largely opposite days in their respective support classes, with Lalande claiming a pair of other victories on his Speed Factory-backed Buccimoto machine, while Hardwick crashed earlier in the day just prior to his thrilling Canada Cup battle.
Neither rider will have to wait long to renew their early championship duel, with the second half of the round one doubleheader getting underway at Lombardy on Sunday afternoon with another Canada Cup feature race and four more support contests.
Lombardy Raceway will be home to majority of the season slate, while the full schedule can be found on the series’ official website at www.supersonicschool.com/Race-Schedule/.

In the Pro category, the 24 riders will do four laps in qualifying heats and then eight laps in the big finals. The top six winners will in each category will share a prize purse totaling $8,550. For those whose endurocross skills are a little rusty, the event will be free to spectators to take in all the action. Infield standing room will be subject to capacity.

*If you didn't know it, the hardest working man in show business, James Brown, was also an accomplished producer. He produced and recorded a song for Yvonne Fair, one of his backup singers in 1962. And just 2 years later, he changed the title and tune a bit and recorded a classic, iconic version himself. What was the song?
*This great American duo struggled with their newfound fame back in the 80's, as they preferred privacy and more or less being "the strangers at any party". And these feelings came with a sense of alienation as they played to the masses. By 1983, they were darlings of MTV and 5, #1 hits to their credit. The song we'll play is their motivation for keeping their core identity with the masses wanting more. Name the artists and the song.
*A great 60's-70's band released a great, very popular song of theirs that told the tale of a government agent and a femme fatale. It also contains one of the classic indecipherable lyrics in rock history....Who was the band and what was the song? (Hint...had something to do with being 5'9")
*This band gave us a very cool collection of songs in their 1979 album. One song is about a guy who thinks he's really cool, but it seems that he's the only one who thinks that. Implied is the fact that our hero avoids getting home because when he's on the road, he has more moments of being alone with his dreams...where he is a superstar...Name the band and the song

@BrightonSpdwy •BRIGHTON, Ont. – September 2, 2016 – Mike Freeman finally conquered the Brighton Automotive Pro Stock division and earned his first career win last Saturday night. He started on the outside of the front row and maintained the lead to earn the victory and Campbellford Chrysler Driver of the Week honours.
“It was really nice. We started up front and I was able to get the lead and stay on the bottom,” an excited Freeman explained. “The car worked really well, the engine worked really well and we were able to stay out of trouble.”
Freeman has now earned one win, three top-5s and 12 top-10s in the ultra-competitive Pro Stock class. A handful of mechanical problems hinder that record and have likely kept him from a few more top-10 results. Freeman thought the same mechanical demons were going to resurface last Saturday.
“We’ve been struggling all year. It’s either been the suspension failing or mechanical failures and breakdowns or overheating,” he said. “On Saturday night, I didn’t think we were going to make it through the feature because we thought the engine was hurt, but we got through it.”
The 52-year-old Freeman is a sophomore Pro Stock drive, but has plenty more experience. He raced in the street stock class from the early 1980’s until 1986 before reviving his racing career in 2010 when the Stinger division was created.
“Back when I was about five year-olds, my dad took me to Brighton Speedway when it was the old paved track. I got hooked on it,” Freeman reflected. “I raced about six years full-time and then retired from it in 1986. I guess you never really seem to get it out of your system.”
Freeman raced three years in the Stinger division, winning a couple of features. In his free time he had begun piecing together a Pro Stock car. It took until the 2015 season for him to make it to the track. Freeman has tinkered with the car and learned each week with his Boyer Chevrolet/Hidden Gold Mine Bakery/BD Freeman Construction/Freeman Bus Lines/K-D Transmissions No.51 Camaro.
This year, most of his attention has been focused on perfecting the setup. It’s a long process that typically involves adjusting springs, shocks and weight placement, among other things.
“The car’s more predictable now than it was at the beginning of the year. It was hard to get a feel for what the car wanted to do,” Freeman said. “We’ve working on it all summer and making one change at a time so we can have an understanding of what each change is doing.”
Freeman currently sits seventh in the championship standings. He is now among a short list of seven drivers who have earned a win this season, an accomplishment he certainly takes pride in with the high level of competition.
“It’s a very competitive class and the speeds are up a lot from what they used to be. The competition is really close. It just seems like you could throw a blanket over the top six or seven cars,” Freeman explained.
The Trenton, Ont. native attributes a lot of his success to the help he receives behind the scenes. Like most drivers, Freeman is quick to shift the praise to his crew. Mike’s father, Don Freeman, is an instrumental part of the team as well as close friend and fabricator Dennis Walker, who helped build the car.
“He’s in the shop putting a lot of hours in keeping the car cleaned up. He tidies up the shop and gets everything organized. He’s a really huge supporter with my mom,” Freeman said of his father. “I’m happy he’s able to be there with me.”
Freeman’s daughter, Jaden, helps keep family and fans up to date through the team’s social media while his girlfriend Karen Gingirch and step-daughters Paige and Leah are also big supporters.
After a week to enjoy his victory, Freeman is back in to work mode. He had to make repairs to the motor this week after he found a damaged cam sprocket on Monday night. The car is back together and the driver of the No.51 is riding the high from last week’s win in to the Pro Stock doubleheader over the Labour Day Classic Weekend.
“A couple of weeks ago we won a qualifier and that seemed huge for us. Then to get a feature just put us right over the top. Everybody is so excited,” Freeman said. ““I’m really focusing on having a good weekend.”
A repeat performance would certainly make that easy to do.

You could search the world and still fail to find any country as charming as the Emerald Isle. From rolling green hills to dramatic wilderness, dynamic cities to sleepy, small-town streets strung with bunting – Ireland is as picturesque as it gets. But while it boasts some of the world’s great natural sites, including the famed Cliffs of Moher and Ring of Kerry, Ireland is best known for its friendly people.
Much like a pint of Guinness, Ireland is bold and complex. Many travel to the Republic for its postcard scenery, but are captivated by the lively spirit that pulses through the streets and rollicking pubs. Spend a night at Temple Bar, the cultural quarter, with the locals and belt out Irish classics at quaint pubs, or escape to the countryside for some R&R. Wherever your Irish journey takes you, the craic will be grand.

Peter Renn, project manager with Interior Health Capital Planning & Projects, in front of the new Phil & Jennie Gaglardi Tower at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.
When Peter Renn woke up from the second coma he had slipped into in two weeks, he was at Royal Inland Hospital (RIH) in Kamloops, disoriented, scared and, according to his physician, near death.
A Kamloops resident, Peter had cirrhosis of the liver, brought on by a rare, inherited disease. Without a transplant, he was told he would likely die.
It was 2018 and the end of a 10-year journey of visits to various hospitals. By his count, nine times he was close to death. However, this time, everything had gotten worse. Twice he slipped into a coma. Awake in RIH, he was disoriented and fearful for his life - scared of losing his wife and his two young children.
“At that point, I was rock bottom,” he says. “I didn’t know whether I would live or die.”
After he was transferred from the ICU, his care was supported by other Interior Health teams. First, a student nurse calmed his fears with compassion and caring. Like an angel, she asked him what his three wishes would be if he could have them. He replied that he wanted the feeding tube gone, he needed water and he wanted to return to his family.

It’s funny when you think back to when you left school and had that talk with a careers advisor who basically confused you even more and you walked away thinking now what am I to do.
You were hoping to walk in and walk out knowing exactly what you are going to be and they will have solved that for you.
What I have learnt along the way that pretty much most people don’t know what they want to do and they have just drifted into roles and that you have the choice to make your next steps.
Well this was me after university and I fell into retail and was there for about 15 years. I moved up the ladder successfully and had some big roles. I learnt so much and I am forever grateful for this and I will never take that back that experience.

Douglas Rich is the first to acknowledge his roots are in fine art and a lifelong study of history. His glass resonates with the echoes of antiquity amid an earthy palate. The written word suspended in time is a reoccurring theme. Glass tablets appear to be weathered stone, inscribed with the lost text of forgotten prophecy. Glass velum maps, stained, cracked & torn, arouse our curiosity and point to lands unknown. Expansive installations composed of suspended glass artifacts and glass medicine robes span entire walls. Glass & bronze prayer feathers hover motionless in the air while a companion glass medicine shield hangs vigilant in a home entryway.
Douglas Rich paintings always present a strong graphic image. Extraneous visual clutter is eliminated revealing a straightforward image. Reducing the subject to its purest form and punctuated with vibrant color are his signature traits. Mythic symbolism is ever present in his work.
Douglas has continuously pushed into uncharted artistic territory with his development and use of new materials. His acclaimed medicine bundles and war shirt installations employ aerospace materials to create a contemporary visage of ancient artifacts. His work brings to the surface the ancient lineage and memories we all subconsciously share within our spirit.

I can’t imagine why anyone would want to do this but this website offers help to those who want to turn their PC into a Mac Lookalike. Personally, I can’t see why you’d do this, as a PC is a far superior design in some respects, but a Mac is a far more personable PC in some other ways important to users. Would I like a Mac? Yes! Do I have a PC? Yes! Do I want to change a PC into a Mac? No! But it might be fun to do this.

When thinking of a historical figure, many imagine a president, king, or general that lead a country to greatness, but never realized some could be the ones who influence the minds of society. Although not thought of as anything, writers and poets hold the key to shaping the society’s mindset without even knowing it. Being a civil rights activist, social activist, and role model for women makes Maya Angelou a historical figure who has made a huge impact in American society and in American history.
“Today, Michelle and I join millions around the world in remembering one of the brightest lights of our time – a brilliant writer, a fierce friend, and a truly phenomenal woman.” (Online - White House). This memorial statement, by Barack Obama in 2014, encompasses how many felt towards Maya Angelou, one of the most influential writers and voices of her generation. Over the course of her lifetime, Maya Angelou was awarded over 50 honorary degrees and received the highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Angelou’s personal admiration and self-love that is reflected in her poetic works, specifically, “Phenomenal Woman,” is credited to the overcoming of her traumatic childhood and her work in activism.
Heroes in Medieval times were the men who fought wars to save their kingdom from the enemy. They were worshipped by their king, and received gifts such as treasure and land. Knights were said to be highest in rank, following after noblemen. Only a certain amount of men were ranked as knights because back then people believed in destiny. So many didn’t consider working up into a higher class. In present time, however, rules have changed. Heroes don’t have to be knights protecting their kingdom anymore. They can be activists, entertainers, authors, entrepreneurs, etc. It doesn’t matter their career, if they were to incorporate helping others it can show a great deal of heroism. Beowulf and Maya Angelou are both examples of heroes. Although they were born in different time periods, Beowulf and Maya Angelou
The leader I choose was Maya Angelou. Maya Angelou was an African American Civil Rights activist, Author, & poet who issued 7 autobiographies 3 essay books and various poetry books, and had done a number of plays. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri on April 4, 1928 and recently died on May 28, 2014. Some time during World War 2 Maya won a Scholarship to study acting and dance at the California Labor School, in San Francisco, California. At the time Maya became the first African American female cable car conductor(A job she had for a short amount of time). Other than that she was An author, poet , screenwriter, etc.
Once again, Maya Angelou manages to touch our hearts again with her poetic skills in Chapter 19 titled The Champion of the World in her autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. She recalls a time in her life where the African American community gathered at her grandmother's and uncle's store to hear a boxing match via radio. The boxing match was between the former champion Joe Louis and a white boxer. Maya Angelou takes the meaning of a simple boxing match into something more complex; she demonstrates the suffrage of her people fighting against oppression during that time period. She shows us that despite the injustices that may occur, there will always be victory for those who truly deserve it.
Freedom For All! Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt showed very similar objectives to a very similar cause. Both Paul and Catt wanted women’s suffrage, but both had a different point of view. Catt believed in a low-key strategy, but Paul believed in a more public protest ways. Catt showed that even a low-key strategy can prove to be more safe, and just as convincing as protesting was and probably even more. Catt overall shown that there are better ways to handle anything.
Angelou’s contribution to the Civil Rights Movement and her achievements as an activist were remarkable. While these achievements seem to be enough to last a lifetime, the Civil Rights Movement was only the beginning for Angelou. Angelou worked as an outspoken Civil Rights activist during the movement. But even after the Civil Rights Movement had ended, she continued to be a voice of humanity, speaking out against anything that harmed the human spirit. Angelou moved on to influence American society as a whole, from the 1970’s to the day she died, May 28, 2014. She was a multi-talented person as Toni Morrison, a friend and contemporary of Angelou, expressed: “She had 19 talents and used 10. And she was a real original.” (qtd, in Sherwell, 2014).
a. Maya Angelou was an avid writer, speaker, activist and teacher. As a result of the many hardships that she suffered while growing up as a poor black woman in the south she has used her own experiences as the subject matter of her written work. In doing this she effectively shows how she was able to overcome her personal obstacles. Her autobiography “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1970) tells the story of her life and how she overcame and moved forward triumphantly in spite of her circumstances. She asks her readers to rise above their defeats, to not allow anyone to stop their dreams. In demonstrating how she succeeded she has been a role model for women of all cultures and races. The “Phenomenal Women” poem is a celebration
The story Susan B. Anthony Dares to Vote and the life of Martin Luther Jr. can both be seen as representing the theme of overcoming obstacles. Both Susan B. Anthony and Martin Luther King Jr. were activists that "fought" for causes they strongly believed in. The actions they took to achieve their goal were more or less the same. However, Martin Luther King Jr. took a larger risk in pursuing his dreams compared to Susan B. Anthony.
Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou were African Americans alive during the period in American history when minority groups were fighting hard for their rights and respect among the country. These two authors used their writing skill to shed light on how African Americans felt throughout this period of time, opening many people’s eyes to how the oppressed truly felt. The civil rights movement could have had an entirely different outcome if it weren’t outspoken individuals such as these two.
During the 1900s, there were many famous authors who wrote about African Americans and Civil Rights. This was what was going on during this time period. Segregation and discrimination towards blacks was increasing. Two famous authors were Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou. Langston Hughes wrote the poem “I, Too, Sing America.” Maya Angelou wrote the poem “Still, I rise.” These two poems both have their own meaning but are still similar in many ways.
“A Caged Bird” is a poem by Maya Angelou, that describes the struggle of a bird ascending from the restrictions with adverse surroundings. The poem renders the oppression that has affected African Americans over the years. As Angelou explains, the bird fights its imprisonment even with fear, but rises above with the stance of freedom. “Phenomenal Women” by Maya Angelou discusses beauty being in the eye of the beholder. You don’t have to have a perfect physique or focus entirely on outer beauty. Inner beauty has more definition, she explains that women should appreciate their flaws. After all there is only one of you and everyone was created differently.
Maya Angelou was primarily a very versatile and talented person. This woman of African American origin wrote and published seven autobiographies that were very popular and highly-evaluated in the US. However, she is well-known not only for being an author but also for being an actress, poet, dancer, and screenwriter. And of course we must not forget activism in the field of civil rights conducted by Maya. Being of African American origin and having a very difficult background full of discrimination and racial prejudice, Maya Angelou was then acting to protect and defend rights of other. All the set of activities she carried out just proves how important she was in terms of development of the America society.

“Glee’s” writer and creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed that next season the show will feature Susan Boyle as a guest star, Paul McCartney as musical collaborators and a “Rocky Horror Picture Show” tribute episode.
Already confirmed for the upcoming series is a Britney Spears episode. This follows past successfully themed episodes such as Madonna and U2 episodes.
Over the Christmas holiday the show will welcome Susan Boyle to the cast. This will be Boyle’s acting debut. Boyle is set to launch an album at Christmas and she will sing a song from the new album on the show.
Sir Paul McCartney has apparently said in the past that he is a fan of the show. Apparently he sent 2 CD’s to Ryan Murphy. The CD’s contain some of his own original music and he suggested that Ryan Murphy use it in the show. It seems the plan is that he will collaborate with the show but it doesn’t seem likely he’ll do a full episode.
Sometime around Halloween “Glee” will get their kitsch on a roll out a “Rocky Horror Picture Show” tribute. The episode will of course include “The Time Warp”.

Once again, the community is coming together in a big way in the face of disaster. Hurricane Sandy impacted families from the tip of Long Island to the Jersey Shore and beyond, and these shore communities were populated by many Irish families that staked their corner of the sand to build their dream home by the sea.
A benefit concert organized by the lads in Jameson’s Revenge and the Mickey Finns is scheduled for Saturday, December 1. It has now taken on a life of it's own.
“We were in contact with Jameson’s Revenge, who are friends of ours, to play something together,” explains Brian Tracey of Mickey Finns.
“So we had booked Connolly’s to do something and when the hurricane hit, both bands at the same time made the suggestion to turn it into the benefit. This is our audience. These are our friends. Denny McCarthy (of Jameson’s Revenge) is a fireman and those guys have been seeing amazing destruction.”
What began as just an idea between two New York-based Irish bands to help so many in some small way the best way they know how is now quickly turning into something much bigger, with other bands signing on each day.
Plans to mushroom the concerts to other dates are in full swing as part of a series known as the Sandy Seisiun Relief Fund that targets people most in need throughout all the Irish communities in the New York area hit hardest by the storm.
GIRSA, Celtic Cross, Broken Banjo Strings, Seanchai are all part of the first concerts.
“The one thing this Irish community does well is come together and rally behind someone or an important cause when they need support,” says Kathleen Fee of Celtic Cross.
“We are all super excited to put on a great show for everyone and we are planning to jam together and sit in with each other’s bands for a good ol’ Irish seisiun! There will be lots of laughs, we will raise some spirits and money for our own here in New York and New Jersey.”
For Celtic Cross, the hurricane hit especially close to home. Guitarist Walter Ensor lives in Rockaway which was devastated from the storm.
“He watched his hometown get swept away, along with his two cars,” reports Fee. “When you cross the bridge to Rockaway, it's like entering into a third world country. They have seen the best and worst in people from the volunteers to all the armed forces.
“It will be months before power is restored there, and they are relying on FEMA trucks to charge up cell phones or use their Internet. Five days went by before Walter was able to contact us to let us know he was safe!”
Across the river in Hoboken, the band had been logging studio time to finish their upcoming CD, but Hoboken Recorders was flooded and is still closed.
The band hopes to finish their CD by Christmas.
Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon for this good cause. Tracey says there are restaurants and businesses coming out of the woodwork to donate, which has been humbling.
“There has been so many bands interested in helping that we can’t fit them onto the bill on December 1, so we are doing another one on the 21st,” Tracey says.
“We are hoping to do more shows in places like Breezy Point, the Jersey Shore and Long Beach. Many people don’t care about music, but I’m sure many people could just use a carefree night of good craic.”
Tracey reveals that a Sandy Seisiun charity is being established through the Emerald Isle Immigration Center, which is helping the bands organize these efforts to make sure all of the money raised goes to the right people, and there’s good accountancy on the back end.
“Denny says that we’re out to re-build this city one tune at a time, and that’s really what this feels like,” says Tracey.
Yours truly will be doing a read from This Is Your Brain on Shamrocks, with all profits from the book going to the evening’s efforts. Many of the bands will be selling their CDs that evening as well, so you could get a lot of Christmas shopping complete for those special Irish music and literature fans in your life!
The first Sandy Seisiun benefit concert will take place Saturday, December 1 at 7 p.m. at Connolly’s Klub 45, located in their Times Square location at 121 West 45th Street. If you’re on Facebook, you can “like” the Sandy Seisiun page.
If you want to rock for a good cause sooner than that, join A Band of Rogues when they pull into Karl's Klipper (Bay Street near the Staten Island Ferry) on Sunday, November for a fundraiser in Staten Island.
The event is sponsored by two NYFD charities, the Stephen Siller/Tunnel to Towers and the William Mooney Foundation.
There will be t-shirts, gift baskets and fun music from A Band of Rogues, Tommy O'Callaghan, Richmond Co. Pipes and Drums, the Recruders and Schlitzie and the Pool Boys.
Patrick Clifford will be joining the Narrowbacks and other guests for a benefit at Ulysses Folk House (95 Pearl Street, New York) this Saturday night. These Irish American rock and rollers are working with Viking Love NYC, a local charity, to deliver resources to those most in need.
Whether your tastes lie in tear-jerking pipes and drums or no-nonsense rock and roll, your palette will be quenched by the great music offered at these benefit gigs! Keep your eyes peeled to this space over the coming weeks, as more bands announce charitable events.

Why Working as a Gerontology Nurse Practitioner is More Than Just a Job
Published 12:01 am Wednesday, July 5, 2023
As we age, our health needs change and require specialized care. That’s where gerontology nurse practitioners come in – a profession that goes beyond just administering medical treatment. Working as a gerontology nurse practitioner is not just a job; it’s an opportunity to make an exceptional difference in someone’s life.
The Benefits of Working as a Gerontology Nurse Practitioner
The advantages of working as a GNP go beyond simply having a rewarding career. GNPs enjoy excellent job security and earn a competitive salary. Also, GNPs often have flexible schedules and can choose to work in various settings. They can work from hospitals, nursing homes to private practice.

GNPs must have a master’s degree or higher in nursing and complete a GNP-specific credentialing program. Looking at the gerontology nurse practitioner programs online will do the trick. The programs online are quite suitable if you are working and if you need to have more time on your plate so you can accomplish everything in your day-to-day life.
Working as a GNP also offers many personal rewards. For example, you will be satisfied knowing that you are helping people live longer, healthier lives. You will also gain valuable experience dealing with aging-related issues like chronic diseases, dementia, and end-of-life care.
Common Challenges Faced by Gerontology Nurse Practitioners
As our population ages, the demand for healthcare services specific to the needs of older adults is increasing. This means that there is a growing need for nurse practitioners who specialize in gerontology.
However, working as a gerontology nurse practitioner can be challenging for several reasons. Here are some of the most common challenges faced by those in this field:
1. Dealing with chronic diseases: Many older adults suffer from chronic diseases. This includes diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. As a result, gerontology nurse practitioners often have to deal with complex medical cases. They also need to manage multiple medications.
2. Addressing cognitive decline: A common challenge gerontology nurse practitioners face is addressing the cognitive decline in their patients. This can be difficult because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with this issue.
3. Managing frailty: Frailty is a common problem among older adults and can be difficult to manage. Gerontology nurse practitioners need to be able to assess a patient’s frailty. They also need to develop a plan to help them maintain their independence for as long as possible.
4. Caring for those with dementia: Dementia is another common issue among older adults. It can be very difficult to care for someone with this condition.
5. Providing end-of-life care: Gerontology nurse practitioners often need to provide end-of-life care for their patients. This can be difficult emotionally and physically. At the same time, it can be rewarding to give comfort and support during a difficult time.
These challenges can all take a toll on gerontology nurse practitioners. However, they can provide quality care to older patients with the right training and support.
Steps for Making the Most Out of Being a Gerontology Nurse Practitioner
As a gerontology nurse practitioner, you play an important role in the lives of older adults. Here are four steps to help you make the most out of your career:
1. Advocate for Your Patients
Advocating for your patients means being their voice when they can’t speak up for themselves. It can also mean educating family members about their loved one’s health conditions and care needs. When you advocate for your patients, you help them get the best possible care and improve their quality of life.
2. Promote Healthy Aging
Promoting healthy aging involves supporting patients to stay active and enjoy life as they grow older. This may include teaching about healthy choices like eating well, staying active and helping them find community resources to support their well-being.
3. Be a Partner in Their Care
Being a partner in your patient’s care means being there for them throughout their healthcare journey. This involves working with other healthcare providers to coordinate care and offer support and guidance to patients and their families. It also involves being a reliable source of information about aging and healthcare.
Your work will satisfy you by positively impacting people’s lives every day. By improving your skills and knowledge, you can reduce the suffering caused by age-related illnesses and disabilities.

They are a nationwide company serving students and school communities in 44 out of 50 states. In the upper Midwest, they have provided professional services to over 100 districts, completing nearly $2 Billion in construction value, with an annual construction average of $230 M. In Minnesota alone, during the 2021 school year, $100 M in projects were developed and will be implemented beginning during the summer of 2022.
The Midwest division of SitelogIQ consists of 100 employees working exclusively for schools. The company is comprised of architects, engineers, facility analysts, professional licensed educators, project managers, commissioning specialists, community engagement specialists, referendum support staff, and many more specific professionals. The organization provides all of these professional services under one umbrella and acts cohesively and synergistically in order to provide efficient and cost-effective services for our PreK-12 partners.
In February of 2022, Dassel-Cokato Schools partnered with SitelogIQ.
The District partnered with SitelogIQ who is currently conducting a comprehensive facility assessment study, from the rooftops to the pavement. This comprehensive study will include information about the life expectancy of the current equipment and infrastructure, including indoor air quality, temperature and humidity, lighting, acoustics, and utility usage. Results from the study will be presented to the school board in March of 2022.
While the facilities assessment study is being conducted, SitelogIQ community engagement team members are working to facilitate community facility groups to learn about, understand and help identify district needs. This process will ultimately become the project plan designed to fit our educational goals and facility needs. Upon completion, it will be presented to the school board for approval in order to bring a referendum to the voters.

Path of Exile players are starting to tire of Synthesis League, as is the norm for the timed challenge leagues in Path of Exile. The ARPG developer, Grinding Gear Games, is planning to bring back a popular event to celebrate the end of Synthesis, and it’s one that might just bring some players back into the fold.
And much like previous Flashback events, this round of league round-robin mechanics will cram multiple game mechanics into a single month-long run. The basic idea is to pack in multiple previous league mechanics into a single map, with tons more fun and chaos, and a much more engaging leveling process. The game maps will include a wide array of previous leagues. It’s a good idea to go take a look at the wiki page to learn a bit about these past leagues before the event kicks off.
The maps will include multiple league mechanics, all at turned up ratios, making them much more common: Anarchy, Invasion, Breach, Ambush, Torment, Perandus, Beyond, Nemesis, Bloodlines, Abyss and Harbinger. Delve, Incursion and Betrayal will still be present, but turned down to their normal levels of occurrence. Also, Memory Voids will not spawn Breaches or Abyss nodes.
Each area in the game will have three random mods active at a time, with the selection of which mods are active rotating each hour.
Here are the numbers of each possible league mechanics should they spawn in each area:
- 2 additional Rogue Exiles
- 2 additional Invasion Bosses
- 1 additional Breach
- 2 additional Strongboxes
- 3 Tormented Spirits
- 2 additional Perandus Chests and a 33% chance to spawn Cadiro
- 3 additional Rare Monster Packs with Nemesis Mods
- 3 additional Magic Monster Packs with Bloodlines
- 1 additional Abyss
- 2 additional Harbingers
The event begins 9 AM on May 11th and ends 10 AM on June 4th (NZT) The event will be available for everyone on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
And the same as with previous events of this kind, GGG is offering different special cosmetic rewards and bonuses for players that take part in the event. Check down below for the full details of all the rewards that you can earn, and how to earn them. It’s pretty simple, if you hit certain level marks, you’re entered into a random drawing to win some free MTX effects. And anyone who reaches level 35 gets a free MTX loot box, a Glimmerwood Mystery box. And every character that takes part can be entered, so you have an incentive to play the event quite a lot.

Jerusalem old city – holy for so many
Meeting: 8:30am outside the Jaffa Gate in the old city, Jerusalem.
The tour: we will walk all around the old city through the picturesque alleyways and the colorful bazaar. We will gain better understanding of the holiness of Jerusalem to the 3 religions by visiting the most holy sites of all 3 – the Kotel (wailing wall), Temple Mount (depending on police permission and security issues at the time - if not possible, we will go to a view point over temple mount instead) and the holy sepulcher church. Time permitting, we might visit the sites of Mt Zion – the last supper room and king David's tomb. The tour will be filled with stories and tails to explain what the eye cannot see.
Lunch will be in one of the unique Arab restaurants inside the old city.
End: 16:00pm (4pm) back at the starting point outside Jaffa gate
What to bring:
* comfortable shoes – a lot of walking in the alleys of Jerusalem

Pernod Ricard Winemakers selects Trellis to dynamically predict yield, quality and timing of grape harvest across Australia and New Zealand.
Pernod Ricard Winemakers, the premium wine division of wine, spirits and Champagne international company Pernod Ricard, will support its operations across Australia and New Zealand with smart predictions on grape yield, quality, harvest timing and procurement cost prediction from Trellis of Tel Aviv.
“As we continue to lead the wine industry into the digital era, we are committed to working with artificial intelligence innovators that are reimagining global supply chains,” said Alex Kahl, who is optimizing technology for Pernod Ricard Winemakers.
“We were impressed by Trellis’s expertise in the industry and proven ability to scale across complex business units and multiple geographies,” Kahl said.
Since 2017, Trellis has helped food and beverage producers and their suppliers — across the United States, Australia-New Zealand and Europe — to identify inefficiencies.
The food system intelligence company’s AI-powered platform integrates live data from throughout the supply chain to accurately predict quality, yield, timing of harvest and associated expenses.
Brett McKinnon, chief operations officer at Pernod Ricard Winemakers, said he expects Trellis “to help us significantly lower our procurement costs and overall production costs, while also ensuring a much more efficient harvest.”
Ilay Englard, founder and CEO of Trellis, called the traditional food and beverage supply chains “broken and volatile.”
“We look forward to helping Pernod Ricard Winemakers effectively navigate all of the challenges in the years ahead – from erratic weather and natural disasters driven by climate change, to surging international trade concerns, regulations and tariffs – to maintain their market leadership,” Englard said.

Wayland Dedicates ITC Pavilion
On November 20, Wayland Main Street/Downtown Development Authority (DDA) cut the ribbon at the newly constructed ITC Pavilion in DOWNTOWN WAYLAND. ITC provided support for the new open-air pavilion, as well as the design and creation of the downtown rain garden, which was completed in 2017.
Rain gardens provide a practical and visually appealing solution to the problem of water pollution caused by unfiltered storm water runoff in urban settings. The gardens are designed to intercept and absorb unfiltered storm water that would otherwise flow into storm drains and contribute to water pollution and degradation.
“The ITC Pavilion project is a testament to the community-driven, revitalization efforts at work in Downtown Wayland. With the support of multiple community partners, the pavilion is an added public asset for all to enjoy,” said Executive Director Ingrid Miller. “We look forward to adding new landscape features around the pavilion in the spring and are currently partnering with Wayland Union High School students to design and construct furniture for the space.”
ITC joined the DOWNTOWN WAYLAND MAIN STREET board and volunteers to cut the ribbon for the new ITC Rain Garden Pavilion.
The ITC Charitable Giving Program
The ITC Charitable Giving Program focuses on five key areas to help strengthen our communities and reflect the values of ITC. Those include education, environmental stewardship, social services, health & wellness and arts & culture.

Some strange behaviors of the power series ring R[[X]]
Fractional Calculus, Optimization and Algebra Research Group, Faculty of Mathematics and Statistics, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Corresponding author: email@example.com
Let R be a commutative ring with identity. Let R[X] and R[[X]] be the polynomial ring and the power series ring respectively over R. Being the completion of R[X] (under the X-adic topology), R[[X]] does not always share the same property with R[X]. In this paper, we present some known strange behaviors of R[[X]] compared to those of R[X].

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is one of the genetically passed on eye diseases which sometimes expresses itself from childhood, or might stay repressed for a good part of one’s life, till the later years. It is a degenerative condition usually leading to blindness, caused by the rod cells which lose their ability to respond to light. Ayurvedic treatment for Retinitis Pigmentosa is seen to be effective to a great extent in improving the quality of vision and preventing further deterioration along with treatment.
The most prominent system and generally seen as the most common is tunnel vision among affected eyes, with loss in peripheral vision coming a close second. Eyes affected with Retinitis Pigmentosa find it hard to see at night or in decreased light and have prominent color vision defects too. What is also observed that though symptoms do appear in the early years, difficulties in vision do not actually start affecting the persons till adulthood.
Observed as a cumulative effect of a lot of genetic defects which start with the night vision-cells being affected the most and the retinal cone cells are seen damaged. The main sign of the disease is the presence of dark deposits in the retina.

Responsive website design is increasingly seen as a real alternative to creating separate versions for devices with different screen sizes. But, if initially the ideas of adaptability carried opportunities for expanding access to the sites of the user audience, today they have turned into an integrated approach that allows you to make the resource convenient and convenient specifically for your target user.
And not the least role here is played by the download speed, in which the “mobile, variancetv” sites noticeably lose adaptively. But the “three seconds” rule, after which the visitor leaves, and without having to wait for the loading of his pages, even search engines take into account today.
But can responsive design serve as a universal solution to all problems? Of course not, because there is no universal scheme by which you can create the perfect website design or carry out its modernization.
What should you focus on when choosing a responsive design for your site?
1. User interests.
You can make an infinite number of versions “for browsers” and “for mobile”, but not achieve the desired result. And you can initially build upon the development of the design from the needs of the target audience of the site (statistics to help) and succeed.
2. Ease of loading
Responsive design sometimes leads to problems with loading various versions of the site. In particular, it takes too much time to adapt images targeted at desktop versions.
And this time does not play in favor of the web resource. As a result, it is sometimes easier to make two separate versions of the site – for mobile devices and ordinary computers, than to create an initially “heavy” responsive design for viewing on any screens.
3. Lack of alternatives
Most users of the web environment are already accustomed to having a choice: view the site in the desktop version or choose the mobile option. Responsive design robs users of this opportunity, offering a level playing field for everyone. And not always the lack of choice is the right decision.
4. Loss of performance
Conversions on a successful site that has a good conversion, traffic, which, in general, works quite successfully, can lead to a loss in performance. And in this case, the adaptive design will be more likely a flaw that can complicate the life of developers and optimizers. But for a not-so-successful site, adaptability can become a new stage in development, giving it more opportunities to reach a mobile audience.
5. Mobile traffic
Who is primarily shown responsive design? Sites whose share of mobile traffic is quite large. In this case, it makes sense to focus on adaptive versions.
Adaptation is also worthwhile if you plan to actively develop the resource in the direction of covering the mobile device market (an application is launched or it is planned to launch its service). But for successful desktop sites, the transition to adaptability is unlikely to be justified and advisable.
What else is important to consider when developing a responsive design?
When designing an interface, it is worth considering the capabilities of various screen sizes, placing its elements in such a way that important information does not turn out to be hidden.
Responsive design provides everything, including working with touch-screens. And the interface elements must comply with this fully.
When choosing typography, you should focus on the options that are most conveniently displayed on any screen.
Adaptive does not mean primitive. In any case, the design should correspond to the idea and theme of the resource itself and at the same time should not change depending on the screen size.
Focusing on mobile devices, do not forget about desktops. Otherwise, all the work may be in vain.
It is also important to leave the zoom function for the responsive site mocospace. The lack of opportunities to enlarge an image or text sometimes makes the site inconvenient for viewing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 15, 2021
CITY OF JACKSON ISSUES WATER CONTACT ADVISORY FOR SECTION OF EUBANKS CREEK
(JACKSON, Miss) – The City of Jackson is issuing a water contact advisory for a section of Eubanks Creek following a sanitary sewage overflow.
The advisory applies to the section of the creek from Interstate 55 to the Pearl River near LeFleur’s Bluff State Park.
The city is issuing the warning out of an abundance of caution, and has taken steps to fix the issue.
The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality notified the City about a possible sewage overflow, and a contractor currently working in the affected area has assisted with temporary repairs to contain it. The City will perform a permanent repair within the next few weeks – weather permitting.
The advisory will remain in effect until the repair is complete, and no additional overflows arise at the location.
The City is advising residents to stay away from the stretch of waterway to avoid possible contamination.
The creek, along with much of the Pearl River running through Jackson, is already under a contact advisory notice from the MDEQ. The department advises residents not to swim, wade or fish in the waters.

My beautiful new second Dell 2007WFP 20.1” widescreen DVI LCD monitor arrived. It is AWESOME! Seriously. It is beautiful.
But you know what would be even cooler? FOUR Dell 2007WFP’s. And I just might get my wish. I have a potential high-value transaction about to go through on one of my sites, and it would give me the means to buy two more monitors, another graphics card, and a four LCD stand, and still have a bunch of money left over.
Think about it: You could have Photoshop, Dreamweaver, the webpage you are working on, AND a TV show all going and visible at the same time. It would literally be FEET by FEET of LCD.
But anyways. I’m going to go fantasize about a quad monitor setup.

The world is facing a series of “wicked problems” – climate change, poverty alleviation, income inequality and persistent societal conflicts. And with the search on for new ways to combat them, social innovation – the process of developing and implementing novel solutions to social problems – is central to the ambitions of the corporate and public sectors, as well as the NGO/social sector.
“Social innovation is no longer the preserve of the social sector, it is also one of the most pressing needs for today’s corporate sector,” stresses Paul Tracey, Professor of Innovation & Organisation. And his colleague, Dr Neil Stott, Executive Director of the Centre for Social Innovation, adds that the common misconception about social innovation is that it is all about novelty. “It is about instigating change but that doesn’t have to mean wild big new ideas,” he says. “We are just as interested in the little things, the small but very important details.”
The Centre for Social Innovation already works with Cambridge Social Ventures on some 50 ventures, such as that for DNA Digests, a registered charity that enables the sharing of DNA data by both medical practitioners and the public in order to accelerate the diagnosis and treatment of genetic disease.
It’s evidence, says Stott, of the centre’s commitment to breed a new generation of researchers and practitioners. “The young of today aren’t interested in companies simply pretending to care about matters such as sustainability and social justice – they want to see them make measurable improvements to people’s way of life,” he says. “Corporate social responsibility as a separate arm of a company’s operations is a thing of the past; it has to be integral to their business. As much as anything else, this approach helps to limit business risk. And it is essential to both recruitment and customer satisfaction.”
To further its commitment, the Centre for Social Innovation is introducing a new masters degree in social innovation, an interactive, workshop-led approach with students both working on and learning from collaborative ventures. It is aimed at experienced individuals mid-career as well as those just starting out but, says Stott, “the most important qualification, high academic standards apart, is that they want to make a real difference in the world.”
That doesn’t, however, preclude making money. “Traditionally, social enterprise has been associated with not-for-profit organisations, the so-called third sector. But it matters all the way down to the bottom line. It is no good simply trying to be virtuous.” One multi-nation company which Stott believes has taken this lesson to heart is Unilever. “They are developing products which will make a profit but also do good, such as Lifebuoy, the germ protection soap.”
This approach is not just good business sense but is also expected by the new generation of millennials. He will therefore be “very disappointed” if the Master of Studies in Social Innovation only attracts applicants from the social sector (for whom there are a limited number of bursaries) but he certainly doesn’t expect that to happen. Instead feedback from the corporate sector indicates increasing recognition that social innovation is becoming an everyday factor in business life and there is a need for executives to receive training.
The intention is to have a mixed cohort of students, which will be further boosted by scholarships provided by the 30% Club for corporate women on the programme. And the intake will be international – Stott aims to attract “applicants from parts of the world where just a few years ago no one would even think of going to Cambridge.”
And when they get there, what will they find? First and foremost, “an open environment for critical dialogue”. The teaching will be highly interactive with input from people actively involved in the world of social innovation as well as the course leaders. Here Tracey, Stott and their colleagues will draw on the extensive network of both entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs the Centre has already built up, drawn from all ages, backgrounds and sectors.
“But I’m not one for holding up gurus,” says Stott. “This is too important for one or two people to stand out. The intention is that this new programme will help further collaborative work to address the challenges the world faces today.”

The 9 MPhil in Management core courses cover the full breadth of business and management. Eight are taught throughout the programme, providing a solid grounding in the key areas of management. The ninth, the Management Consulting Project, takes place in the final term.
Knowledge of accounting is essential for understanding the financial performance of any organisation. This introductory, user-focused course helps you become familiar with and draw inferences from financial statements that may affect your decisions to invest in, or otherwise contract with, the reporting institution. The course focuses on building a foundation to help understand accounting measurement and reporting. Accounting is, in essence, a method to record and present economic information that is summarised in a balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. This method has limitations and financial statement readers need to be aware that some information may be incomplete or misestimated. By the end of the course, you should be able to construct, understand, and interpret fundamental information from a set of financial statements.
This course provides a working knowledge of many basic quantitative techniques for understanding and analysing data. The course covers:
- Random variables, distributions of sample statistics, confidence intervals, estimating averages and percentages by sampling, and hypothesis testing
- Relationships, scatter plots, correlation, the line of best fit, and regression
- Monte-Carlo simulation and its application in analysing risk
- Decision trees, expected values, and risk
- Resource allocation and linear programming
- Portfolio analysis and efficient frontier
This course takes those of you with little or no economics up to a level where you are comfortable with the tools of economic analysis, and makes economics accessible to those whose primary interest is in its application to business.
The syllabus covers:
- Introduction to demand analysis
- Analysis of costs
- Markets and market failures
- Distribution and pricing policy
- Strategy and game theory
- Transaction costs
- Risk and uncertainty
- Information and incentives
The Finance course provides a solid grounding in finance, and develops your understanding of the tools necessary to make good financial decisions. The course focuses on corporate investment and corporate financing decisions. The concept of risk and return, the cost of debt, the cost of equity, and the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), as well as the issue of capital structure are examined in detail from the viewpoint of a financial manager. A good knowledge of the topics in this course is important for future advanced finance elective courses or for a career in investment banking, consulting and corporate management.
At the end of this module you’ll have learned how to identify the financial cash flows generated by the firm, and value the firm’s stock and bonds, as well as about the impact of financing decisions on firm and shareholder value. You’ll be able to make capital budgeting decisions and to calculate the appropriate risk-adjusted rate of return.
Among business disciplines, marketing is the primary contact point between a business and its customers. Nearly everybody will, at some point in their career, wear a marketing hat. Understanding marketing will help you whether you want to be an accountant, a movie producer, an engineer, a programmer, a banker, or a museum curator. Understanding customer needs and how to marshal the resources of an organisation to meet those needs will enhance students’ chances of career success. This course develops a general management viewpoint in planning and evaluating marketing decisions, from both strategic and tactical perspectives. This course also helps you understand how marketing decisions are affected by organisational and environmental influences.
All organisations provide goods and services of one form or another through the transformation of inputs into outputs; the business function which manages this delivery is known as “operations”. Operations management is concerned with the creation and improvement of manufacturing and service processes that are not only efficient, but also contribute effectively to the wider business strategy. This module explores the key trade-offs faced by operations managers, introduces the major tools and techniques of production, planning and control, provides experience of process improvement methodologies such as lean thinking and six sigma, while pointing out the wider links between operations, supply chain management and marketing, strategy and financial accounting.
Organisational analysis and behaviour is a very broad subject, concerned with the individual in the workplace, how work is structured and organised, and the experience of work and change within organisations.
To provide a framework to comprehend this breadth we investigate key themes in organisational analysis including the individual in the organisation, motivation, groups and teams, leadership, control and commitment, learning, culture, and change management.
Topics covered include:
- Organisations, individuals and management
- Motivation and performance
- Managing groups and teams
- Conflict and cooperation
- Control and commitment
- Learning and knowledge management
- Organisational culture
- Change management
Strategy is the field of management that has been developed to help general managers (as opposed to functional managers whose responsibilities focus on one particular function such as finance, production, marketing, human resources, IT, etc.), make better decisions that will improve the competitive position of the organisation in the long run and create value for its key stakeholders. The field of strategy is made up of all theories, concepts, methods and tools that top managers can use to ensure the profitable and long-term growth of their organisations. It divides into works on content of strategy (what activities and sectors the organisation will compete in and how it will compete in those) and process of strategy (the mechanisms by which organisations choose to compete in certain ways, activities and sectors and how they implement these choices). Both process and content approaches address issues of business and corporate-level strategy.
Topics covered include:
- Nature and context of strategic management
- Theories, concepts and models of strategic analysis
- Applications to strategic management practice

2019 - One for the books!
Updated: May 20, 2022
We are proud to serve McDowell County and all the surrounding counties bringing to you full line tree service, grading, excavating, demolition and construction services!
"The first week of January was the start of something great. Our JCP2 Crew started a process of self development as a group. Learning lessons together to grow in all aspects of our lives and I couldn’t be more proud standing in front of these guys as they all learn, grow and thrive together throughout the year." -John Seaman
We also announced that thanks to all of our loyal customers and the continuing flow of support we receive daily we were able to purchase a new property that has since allowed us to expand daily. Our new location is 1767 E Court st., Marion, NC. Here is a before picture of the property but in order to see all the update work going on you will need to come by and check it out yourself!!
Our Tree Service Crew spent a lot of time on Morgan Street in Marion, NC removing multiple trees on multiple properties that were a big concern to property owners. A large tree had fell on a home after all the constant rain and the other home owners eyes were opened to the threats their large trees held. The crew also spent some time at Lake James helping clear a view across the lake for a couple of homeowners.
By the end of April we had a major clean-up and grading job in Old Fort, NC. Big rocks made this job a little challenging but nothing our professionals couldn't handle.Then a metal roof was installed on the home on the Montreat College campus located in Montreat, NC and a new garage build by Lake James had the trimming added to the outside perimeter. All of the JCP2 crews have been working hard and staying focused to assure that each job we completed small and large was finished in exceptional timing as well as leaving no detail untouched.
To wrap up the first half of the year we acquired a new piece of equipment allowing us to have all the proper equipment needed to clear your lot, grade your lot and build you a beautiful custom home! Beautiful Properties Start Here!
The hurricane brought a little bit of wind to our area. It was just enough to cause trees that were barely hanging on from the last big storm to come crashing down. This homeowner found their tree had lost one whole side, thankfully it caused minimal damage to the home.
We spent the summer on Lake James covering a deck build. The upper of this old deck was falling apart and had to be demo'ed and rebuilt. Our construction crew came in and finished this deck build up with a rising sun overlooking the lake.
In August we helped out this property owner on Lake James with tree removal to clear this incredible view to see Table Rock. This tree removal required our tree climber to scale these tall pines bringing them down piece by piece.
NEW SKYSCRAPER COMING TO DOWNTOWN MARION?! Nope, that large crane towering over downtown was actually helping us bring life back to an old building. If you saw the post earlier you saw the extensive damage that was caused to the roofing structure over the years. The crane was needed to help us lift steel beams and new roofing trusses for us to rebuild the roofing structure that will allow this building to last many more years!
Our Construction Service Crew finished up a custom deck over looking the beautiful Lake
James. Followed by a deck for a property owner that was overlooking a mountain range. Both of these projects helped step their entertainment space up a level!
We finished up a full home rehab and we love looking back at what a project was like at the beginning! Everything in this home was touched. For some, it's hard to imagine what the after can look like but this property owner knew this old worn-out house could be her new home.
Our Grading and Demolition Crew cleaned house at the old Ethan Allen plant! Our Grading Crew is equipped to handle any demo and cleanup job large or small!
Christmas came early in November! We acquired a new John Deere 210 Excavator that allows us to take care of all of your grading, lot clearing, driveway and demolition needs!
In December, we spent some time in this new development in Nebo that comes with a pretty amazing view. ‼️ Our Grading Crew came in to clear the lot, install a septic tank, laid gravel and now the property owner is ready to start their new build!
At the end of December, we removed 4 large hemlocks from this property. Our crew worked together to make sure these trees came down safely and in a timely manner.
This lakeside home had a Japanese Maple Tree that needed to be moved, so we transplanted it to the front yard which will help give the house a little extra curb appeal come spring time. Have a favorite tree or plant you want to move? We can make that happen!
To finish off the year we are working on completing a large dirt project on some land in P.G.
This customer will have all the room he needs thanks to our 210 digging out some serious dirt! Our grading crew expanded the parking and put in a brand new driveway for this homeowner. There isn't any job too big for our 210 excavator!
2019 was a fantastic year! We are so thankful for all of our employees and amazing customers! Be sure to give us a call for any grading, construction or tree project you come across! Big things are coming in 2020 for JC Property Professionals, don't miss out! Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram as well.

This blog post is in partnership with Summersalt.
It’s no secret one piece bathing suits are always my pick for summer. My summer wardrobe goal is all about comfort and style (and avoiding wardrobe malfunctions). Summersalt is one of my favorite sustainable swimwear brands for that reason (Craig and I shot the campaign for their launch 5 years ago!). Their suits are incredible quality (the Sidestroke I got 5 years ago is still in great condition) and I love the medium/full coverage bottoms.
If you’re looking for a new one piece bathing suit or cover-up this summer, check out some of my favorites from Summersalt. From beach to backyard and everything in between they have versatile styles you can wear all summer long. Summersalt also gave me an exclusive code to share! Use code JESS10 for $10 towards purchase of $95+.
Chic One Piece Bathing Suits and Cover-Ups For Summer
The Ruched Backflip One Piece Bathing Suit
The Ruched Backflip one piece is one of my favorite styles. It’s really comfortable and such an easy style to wear. The spritz color is so fun for summer but I also love it in classic black. It has full butt coverage and built in cups for support. For sizing I always go up one size in Summersalt (compared to other brands) but going with my size using their size chart is accurate. This style looks gorgeous paired with the silky maxi skirt too (see below). Use code JESS10 for $10 towards a purchase of $95+.
The Marina One Piece Bathing Suit
The Marina is so chic (it comes in long torso too). It has color-blocking and diagonal seams with adjustable straps and built-in cups. You feel totally supported and comfy in this one piece. The Sky/Blue Mountain/White Sand is my favorite color, especially paired with the striped shirtdress. Use code JESS10 for $10 towards a purchase $95+.
The Silky Shirtdress
If you’re headed on a summer vacation, this shirtdress is a must. The perfect fabric to throw in your bag this shirtdress doesn’t get wrinkly and it’s so versatile. Throw it on for the beach as a cover-up, wear it gardening in the backyard or wear it to a lunch in town. The stripes are preppy and chic and the fit is breezy and comfortable.
The Wave One Piece Bathing Suit
The Wave one piece is a classic. It’s a v-neck style with adjustable straps and built in cups. If you are looking for a white suit this is a great option. It’s white on top (not see through even when wet) and black on the bottom. So comfortable and looks stunning with the silky wrap skirt. A combo you could totally wear for a dinner party at home in the backyard or a picnic on the beach. Use code JESS10 for $10 towards a purchase of $95+.
Silky Wrap Skirt
This wrap skirt is even more gorgeous in person! Wear it over your bathing suit or style it with a simple fitted tank. It’s so chic and comfortable in a flowy fabric that will keep you cool, and it’s made with 51% recycled materials. An adjustable tie at the waist and high-low hem this is a gorgeous skirt to dress up or down. Wear it out on the town, to an event or just hanging out at home. You’ll feel great in it no matter where you go.

One Canadian medical school is certainly not immune to the current epidemic of rising antisemitism, Dr. Ayelet Kuper has revealed.
Kuper, an associate professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto, last week published her findings from a year spent investigating antisemitism experienced by students and faculty.
On Dec. 5, her findings were published in the Canadian Medical Education Journal. In her article, Kuper describes antisemitic statements and viewpoints she experienced herself, and notes her family’s need to conceal their Jewish heritage when not in Jewish settings.
She writes, “My husband and I, as well as our three Jewish school-aged children, are white-passing in appearance; I increasingly use that privilege to hide our Jewish identities under professional and personal circumstances when we are outside the Jewish community, including on or near the U of T campus.”
Kuper relates how COVID-19 exacerbated antisemitic conspiracy theories, prompting antisemites to blame Jews both for the virus and for promoting vaccines.
However, she also cites another rationale: “I was told dozens of times that the current environment of growing antisemitism at TFOM was triggered by the war in Gaza in the spring of 2021, which implies (as was sometimes said to me explicitly) that the cause of TFOM’s ‘antisemitism problem’ is Israel government policy.”
Kuper disputes this timeline, pointing out that rising Canadian antisemitism preceded Israeli actions in Gaza. She writes, “From my personal experience and that of Jewish friends and colleagues at TFOM with whom I used to commiserate prior to taking on the Senior Advisor role, hateful attitudes about Jews have been on the rise at TFOM for at least three years.” Kuper links this rise in campus antisemitism to an increase in antisemitism in Canada as a whole. She points to the 2,799 reported antisemitic hate crimes in Canada in 2021 and notes this was the sixth year in a row to see an increase in incidents.
“I personally experienced many instances of antisemitism, including being told that all Jews are liars; that Jews lie to control the university or the faculty or the world, to oppress or hurt others, and/or for other forms of gain; and that antisemitism can’t exist because everything Jews say are lies, including any claims to have experienced discrimination,” Kuper writes.
She describes a “now-common strategy” in which Jews who counter antisemitism are accused of racism and lying in order to harm Palestinians. The term “Zionism,” she writes, is frequently redefined by opponents of the Jewish state as inherently racist—in an attempt to deny the belief held by 86% of Canadian Jews (according to her findings) that caring about Israel is either essential or important to being Jewish. Given this redefining of Jewish nationalism, Kuper identifies documented instances at the University of Toronto in which Jewish students were required to define their beliefs about Israel and Zionism before being permitted participation in campus activities.
She also points out the trend of some Jews at the university supporting antisemitism.
“Some of those self-identified Jews have said discriminatory things to me about Jews; some of them have also described to me a deep embarrassment at being Jewish,” she writes. Utilizing those of Jewish identity to launder racist sentiments is known as “Jew-washing,” as it enables a denial of antisemitism.
Conspiracist fantasies of Jewish power have also penetrated the university. Kuper reports, “I have heard it said (in person and on social media) within TFOM that Jews control CaRMS (the Canadian Residency Matching Service, which manages the residency selection process), Jews control faculty hiring, and Jews control TFOM’s promotion decisions.”
She also reveals antisemitic fears that “the Jews” can destroy faculty members’ careers. And what are those who stand up for Jews on campus hearing when they seek to counter these falsehoods? They are accused of being “bought by the Jews.”
David M. Litman, senior analyst at the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA), said, “Dr. Kuper’s reflections shed greater light on the extent of the problem that CAMERA’s Education Institute has been working to counter: the pervasive and deeply embedded antisemitic beliefs in academia. Instead of learning about the harms of antisemitic conspiracy theories, it is apparent that in places like the University of Toronto, community members are inculcated with new expressions and formulations of the same old antisemitic conspiracy theories.”
Kuper also documents that stereotypes of Jewish wealth are alive on campus, writing, “For example, almost all TFOM faculty members are physicians, and so by definition are some of the highest earners in Canadian society; nonetheless, it is my experience that Jewish physicians who have comfortable lifestyles are sometimes talked about by other faculty members (as I have sometimes been) as having those lifestyles because they are Jewish, not because they are physicians.”
She reports having personally experienced microaggressions of antisemitism, being told that Jews are “pushy,” “demanding,” “in charge” and only looking out for other Jews.
Kuper explains how academic theories of race and racism have been used to blunt claims of antisemitism.
“I have been repeatedly told by people who are otherwise well-versed in critical race theory and other forms of equity theory that my skin tone alone means I’m white,” she writes. “I therefore have all the same privilege and ease in the world as any white person, and that I therefore can’t possibly understand oppression.”
Kuper writes that colleagues have insisted that her refusal to denounce Israel as a Jewish state means that she is a racist and that any antisemitism she experiences is deserved. One faculty member even told her that Ontario’s Human Rights Code should not protect Jews from antisemitism, claiming the Jew-hatred “isn’t real.”
Another popular academic theory has been employed to silence Kuper and other Jews on campus—that of “cultural appropriation.” Kuper is a child and grandchild of Holocaust survivors, and she has “been berated over the past several years (by non-indigenous colleagues who claim to be acting as allies to indigenous people) for using the concept of intergenerational trauma and told that Jews are ‘appropriating’ the term.”
Such a broad range of arguments and ideas across the spectrum of antisemitic thought has left Kuper without easy solutions for countering hatred on campus. She concludes, “Even as an experienced educator, social justice scholar, and leader, I was frequently at a loss as to how to escape from the circular reasoning that dismissed my experience of discrimination while dehumanizing me, calling me out as racist for defending myself against racism, and ascribing to me sinister, hidden power.”
Jay Solomon, the chief communications and public affairs officer for Hillel Ontario, the largest regional Hillel system in the world, commented, “Hillel Ontario is aware of a Canadian Medical Education Journal article, written by Dr. Kuper. The article details disturbing and unacceptable challenges facing Jewish faculty, staff and learners at the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto. We commend Dr. Kuper for her willingness to give voice to examples of antisemitism that have become all too common on university campuses across the province.
“For some time, we have been working with U of T administrators to ensure meaningful action would be taken to counter antisemitism on campus. Those efforts are now more important than ever. To that end, we have communicated with the dean of TFOM, and expect to hear what steps the faculty will be taking to address Dr. Kuper’s findings,” Solomon said.
Jewish students on campus supported Kuper’s conclusions.
“It is the Jewish Student Alliance at the University of Toronto’s opinion that Dr. Ayelet Kuper’s experiences and reflections, as mentioned throughout her article, though extremely disheartening and nothing short of the truth, are not unique to U of T’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine,” said Maytal S. Lazarovic, founder and president of the group.
“Felt by Jewish students across the U of T campus, antisemitism is a pervasive poison which shapeshifts and molds to fit modern-day narratives. We hope that the lived experiences in this paper further encourage U of T students, staff and faculty to recognize the importance of listening to their Jewish counterparts, validating their experiences, and making sure not to define antisemitism or Jew-hatred on Jewish peoples’ behalf. As hate crimes against Jewish people in Canada continue to soar, breaking records year after year, we urge people to take on allyship in order to remind Jewish students, staff and faculty on campus that they are recognized, valued and protected,” Lazarovic said.
JNS reached out to the school’s administrators for comment but did not receive a response by press time.

When you are suffering through the bereavement in the aftermath of losing a loved one, navigating the murky waters of lawsuits and damages claims can seem all but impossible. That’s why The Stephens Law Firm is here to support you in your grief, and to do what it takes to get you on the road to financial and emotional recovery.
Wrongful death claims are designed to award families a level of remuneration in proportion to the losses they have endured as a result of the death of a loved one. They also aim to hold those responsible to account. Of course, monetary damages are a poor substitute for your lost loved one, but they can provide a bit of extra financial support during this difficult time.
What does “Wrongful Death” mean under Texas law?
Basically, “wrongful death” occurs when a victim dies as a direct result of another person or organization’s negligence. Chapter 71 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code outlines the categories for wrongful death claims as “wrongful act” (meaning intentional, or malicious), neglect, carelessness, unskillfulness or default.
Texas Statute of limitations for Wrongful Death Claims
According to Texas state law, a wrongful death claim MUST be made within two years of the death of your loved one. As stated by a top-rated accidental death law firm in West Houston, while there are very occasional exceptions to this rule, it is recommended that you work to this two year deadline.
Are siblings permitted to file a Wrongful Death Claim?
No, unfortunately neither biological or adopted siblings are permitted to file a wrongful death claim under Texas law.
Can I obtain punitive damages for my Wrongful Death Claim?
While compensatory damages are designed to provide a degree of recompense for both the financial and emotional losses resulting from the wrongful death, the aim of punitive damages is to hold the wrongdoer to account and to serve as a deterrent against repeat offences. In Texas, they are referred to as “exemplary damages.”
Though exemplary damages are by no means frequently awarded in wrongful death lawsuits, there is nothing to explicitly prevent them from being awarded if the death is proven to be a result of the defendant’s “willful act or omission.”
Can a Texas court handle the death of a Texas resident which occurred OUTSIDE Texas?
This depends on the individual circumstances, but it may be possible to file a wrongful death claim against a party whose behavior caused the loss of your loved one either outside of Texas or overseas.

What is the California earned income tax credit? Are you eligible? How much can you claim? In this latest post, we give you the answers.
The California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) is a state-level tax credit for low-income individuals and families who work and earn income. It is designed to supplement the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and provide additional financial support to those who need it most.
Commonly Asked Questions About CalEITC
Here are the answers to the questions most frequently asked about the California Earned Income Tax Credit.
Who Qualifies For CalEITC?
Eligibility for the CalEITC is based on a variety of factors, including income, number of children, and filing status. In general, to be eligible for the credit, individuals must have earned income from employment or self-employment and must meet certain income limits.
Additionally, to claim the credit, individuals must have a valid Social Security number and must not be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return. It’s also important to note that if the filer is not a U.S. citizen, they must have a valid Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) to claim the credit.
For tax year 2021, the income limits for the CalEITC are as follows:
- For individuals with no children, the income limit is $30,578
- For individuals with one child, the income limit is $38,952
- For individuals with two children, the income limit is $48,362
- For individuals with three or more children, the income limit is $54,884
What Is The Maximum Tax Refund You Can Get?
The maximum amount of California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) that a taxpayer can receive depends on several factors, including the number of children in the household, income level, and filing status.
For tax year 2021, the maximum credit amount for individuals with no children is $1,229, for one child is $2,472, for two children is $4,266 and for three or more children is $6,660.
It’s worth noting that the credit amount is based on a percentage of the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and it increases with the number of children and earned income. Also, the CalEITC is refundable, which means that even if you owe no taxes or the credit exceeds the amount of taxes owed, you can receive the difference as a refund.
It’s important to note that the maximum credit amount may change from year to year, so it’s recommended to check the California Franchise Tax Board website for the most up-to-date information.
When Can Taxpayers File A Claim?
Taxpayers can file a claim for the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) when they file their state taxes. The tax-filing season typically begins in late January and the deadline to file taxes is April 15th of each year.
File And Claim Your California Earned Income Tax Credit Now
To receive aid in filing your individual claim, the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) offers free tax preparation assistance through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program for individuals and families with incomes of $66,000 or less and for senior citizens. The assistance is provided by trained volunteers who can help taxpayers claim credits and deductions, including the CalEITC.
Additionally, FTB also offers an online tool called CalFile that allows taxpayers to file their state taxes electronically for free. This is a fast, secure and convenient way to file taxes and claim the CalEITC.

My youngest sister is now a senior, wild! Years ago she said she wanted me to capture her senior photos for her. I had agreed then, but as it got closer I debated actually taking them. There's a lot of pressure being family related, and my own desire to have them turn out perfect. Originally only wanting 3 photos, we turned that into a few more using a couple different locations. It turned out to be an easy session capturing her genuine smile. Enjoy!

Karora will host a call/webcast on May 7, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) to discuss the first quarter 2021 results. North American callers please dial: 1-888-231-8191, international callers please dial: (+1) 647-427-7450. For the webcast of this event click [here] (replay access information below).
TORONTO, May 7, 2021 /CNW/ - Karora Resources Inc. (TSX: KRR) ("Karora" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce its financial results and review of activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. For additional information please refer to Karora's Management's Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") and unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Paul Andre Huet, Chairman & CEO, commented: "I am pleased with Karora's first quarter performance, which places us on a very strong footing to achieve our full year 2021 gold production guidance of between 105,000 and 115,000 ounces and AISC1 of US$985-$1,085 per ounce sold. First quarter gold production of just under 25,000 ounces was right on budget as we prepared new higher grade mining areas at Higginsville Central. Over the course of 2021, as we have previously stated, we expect quarterly grade improvements resulting from Spargos and Two Boys to drive increased production towards the second half of the year.
After recently visiting site upon my relocation to Australia, I am extremely happy to announce that our Phase I mill expansion is proceeding well ahead of schedule. We have already achieved an annualized production rate of 1.5 million tonnes per annum. Once completed, as previously announced, the Phase I expansion will increase production capacity at our Higginsville mill in 2021 by approximately 15%, or 550 tonnes per day, to 1.6 million tonnes per annum from the prior capacity of 1.4 million tonnes per annum.
Karora delivered a solid financial performance in the first quarter of 2021 with adjusted EBITDA of $21 million or $0.15 per share, operating cash flow of $19 million or $0.13 per share and consolidated AISC1 of US$1,049 per ounce sold. Net earnings of $5.6 million or $0.04 per share were negatively impacted by an unrealized non-cash foreign exchange loss of $4.5 million or $0.03 per share, primarily related to intercompany loans due to quarter over quarter currency fluctuations. We reiterate that these are unrealized intercompany loans as we do not transfer cash out of the Australian business unit. Adjusted for these fluctuations, earnings were $8.1 million or $0.06 per share. On the cost front, despite planned lower grades during the first quarter, we recorded yet another strong three month period of disciplined cost control with AISC of US$1,049 per ounce well within our 2021 guidance range.
With Karora's strong cash balance of $76.7 million at the end of the first quarter, and much of the ground work to bring on higher grade mining areas over the balance of 2021 completed, we are in a very strong position to deliver on our 2021 organic growth commitments. In this regard, I am looking forward to delivering our multi-year growth profile to the market later in the second quarter."
In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Karora's protocols and contingency plans have mitigated impacts of the pandemic. Karora's operations continued at expected levels, consistent with the Corporation's full year 2021 guidance for the first quarter of 2021. Karora's ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to prioritize the safety of its workforce and host communities while mitigating potential operational impacts.
Results of Operations

Cash operating cost (US $/oz sold)1
For the first quarter of 2021, Karora's gold operations milled 371,000 of material at an average grade of 2.16 g/t to produce 24,694 ounces of gold, the Corporation's seventh consecutive quarter of consistent production of approximately 25,000 gold ounces since the acquisition of the Higginsville Mill in mid-2019. Cash operating costs for the first quarter were US$952 per ounce.
The mill feed was made up of approximately 63% material from Beta Hunt underground and 37% material from Higginsville Central open pit compared to an average 55% from Beta Hunt and 45% from HGO in 2020. The increased weighting of Beta Hunt material was due primarily to increased productivity at Beta Hunt and a lower contribution from Higginsville Central as part of the planned ongoing transition to higher grade mining areas throughout 2021.
Production for the first quarter of 2021 was 219,000 tonnes mined, a 33% increase over the first quarter of 2020, and 233,000 tonnes milled, a 25% increase over the first quarter of 2020. Gold production was 18,261 ounces and cash operating costs of US$899 per ounce sold.
The increased production is a direct reflection of improved mining techniques and a staged fleet replacement and upgrade program, including the addition of a CAT R2900 underground loader and two CAT AD60 trucks into the mining fleet. Two additional CAT R2900 underground loaders and two CAT AD60 trucks are planned for 2021 which are required as part of the continued production ramp up in 2021. The first of these two new trucks recently hauled its first load of ore at Beta Hunt in May.
Nickel production is currently limited to remnant nickel resources south of the Alpha Fault; however, recent drilling has identified a number of new areas including the high grade 30C Nickel Trough discovery where production can potentially be increased.
Furthermore, on April 6, 2021 Karora announced the second new high grade nickel discovery at Beta Hunt in the last six months, known as the "Gamma Zone - 50C", where 11.6% nickel over 4.6 metres, including 18.4% nickel over 2.2 metres was intersected in hole G50-22-005E. The drilling, which was targeting nickel, also intersected gold mineralization above and below the 50C trough and suggests the Beta Hunt gold mineralized system extends for over 3.5 kilometres of strike from the northern end of the A Zone.
Higginsville ("HGO") Central
During the first quarter, 138,000 of HGO material was milled at an average grade of 1.57 g/t to produce 6,433 ounces of gold and cash operating costs of US$1,100 per ounce sold.
In the first quarter of 2021 mine production from Hidden Secret totaled 141,078 tonnes and metallurgical recoveries were aligned with expectations at 92-93%. At Mousehollow, grade control work commenced during the quarter which will provide valuable additional operational flexibility for mill feed optimization.
With Higginsville Central mining primarily focused at Hidden Secret, minimal production occurred during the first quarter of 2021 at Baloo. Mine production from Baloo totaled 21,355 tonnes for the quarter. A re-optimization of the pit was completed with additional mineralization identified in the northern portion of the pit which has driven the development of a new ramp from the south to allow additional open pit material to be mined from the North eastern corner. Karora continues to evaluate the underground potential at Baloo.
At Two Boys dewatering and exploratory work was significantly advanced during the first quarter of 2021. Mining is on track to commence as planned in the second quarter of 2021.
Karora continues to target the development of a starter pit at the high-grade Aquarius deposit, located less than two kilometres from the HGO treatment plant. As previously reported, near surface drilling identified a number of high grade supergene gold intersections, including 43.5 g/t over 3.0 metres and 5.7 g/t over 6.0 metres (see Karora news release dated November 9, 2020). A starter pit will be developed to access the higher grade underground gold mineralization. Development of the Aquarius starter pit could commence as early as mid 2021.
The existing Aquarius historical resource1,2 is 20 kt @ 19.5 g/t (Measured and indicated) and 43 kt @ 4.2g/t (Inferred) will be updated as part of the Corporation's 2021 resource report.

A qualified person has not done sufficient work on behalf of Karora to classify the historical estimate noted as current mineral resources and Karora is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources.
Spargos Reward Gold Project
The first stage of a reverse circulation ("RC") drilling program designed to test the offset southerly strike extension of the main Spargos Reward zone was completed in the first quarter. This program was part of HGO's larger resource definition program with the aim of improving the confidence of the Spargos Reward main zone ahead of mining activities schedule to begin by mid-year. An updated gold Mineral Resource statement is expected later in the second quarter of 2021.
Results from the RC drilling program were reported in Karora news release dated March 1, 2021. The intersection of 6.1 g/t over 14.0 metres in diamond drill hole SPDD003 supports the interpretation of high grade gold mineralization extending over a down-plunge distance of over 300 metres. The down-plunge extension of this shoot remains open at depth and highlights the underground growth opportunity remaining to be tested.
Cash Operating Costs and AISC1
For the first quarter, consolidated cash operating costs1 and AISC1 were US$952 and US$1,049 per ounce sold, respectively (reductions of 1% and 5% compared to the first quarter of 2020). The first quarter cost performance is within full year 2021 AISC guidance range of US$985-$1,085 per ounce.
Karora is maintaining its previously announced full year consolidated 2021 production guidance of between 105,000 - 115,000 ounces of gold at an AISC range of US$985 to US$1,085 per ounce. The high-end of 2021 production guidance represents a 21% increase over the high-end of 2020 guidance (19% mid-point to mid-point). The mid-point of 2021 AISC cost guidance represents an 8% reduction when compared to the mid-point of 2020 guidance. The reduced AISC guidance reflects Karora's continued focus on cost reduction initiatives following a very successful year of reducing AISC during 2020.
The above guidance assumes no significant disruption in operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Karora has identified multiple high priority exploration targets for 2021 as part of its significantly expanded A$20 million exploration budget across its +1,900 km2 land package. The increase in the drilling and exploration budget was driven by Karora's strong success in 2020 in increasing consolidated Reserves and Resources. Exploration is separated into brown fields drilling which is predominantly aimed at upgrading and extending existing Mineral Resources and greenfields exploration, which is targeting new +250k oz discoveries.
At Beta Hunt, 7,837 metres of exploration drilling during the first quarter continued to focus on upgrading and extending the northern, up-plunge margin of the A Zone Mineral Resource and the recently discovered Larkin Gold Zone. Drill results from both these areas are planned to be incorporated in the upcoming Beta Hunt Mineral Resource update expected in later in 2021.
At Beta Hunt's Larkin Zone, drilling intersected 19.0 g/t gold over 9.0 metres, including 542 g/t over 0.3 metres in hole EL-EA2-023E with visible gold mineralization observed in the drill core (see Karora news release dated February 1, 2021). The results support the potential of this mineralization as a third gold resource area in addition to the A Zone and Western Flanks Mineral Resource. The Larkin Zone discovery was initially announced in September 2020.
The second new high grade nickel discovery at Beta Hunt at Beta in the last six months, known as the "Gamma Zone - 50C", was announced on April 6, 2021. Drill hole G50-22-005E intersected 1.6% nickel over 4.6 metres, including 18.4% nickel over 2.2 metres. These results are 140 metres from existing mine development and reinforce the potential for a repeat of the Beta style mineralization south of the Gamma Island Fault, potentially representing a significant growth opportunity for by-product nickel production at Beta Hunt. Current Beta Hunt Measured and Indicated Resources total 561 kt @ 2.9% Ni for 16,100 contained nickel tonnes (see Karora's Technical Report dated February 1, 2021 available under Karora's profile on Sedar.com).
The drilling in Beta Hunt's 50C discovery area, which was targeting nickel, also intersected gold mineralization above and below the 50C trough and suggests the Beta Hunt gold mineralized system extends for over 3.5 kilometres of strike from the northern end of the A Zone. Significant gold intersections included 2.7g/t over 12.0 meters, including 10.1g/t over 1.4 metres in hole G50-22-002E and 5.2 g/t over 3.2 metres in hole G50-22-005E.
At Higginsville, exploration efforts are focused on completing the scout lake aircore drilling program over the Lake Cowan dry salt lake area. Following the receipt of assays from this initial drilling program, Karora intends to prioritize targets generated with reverse circulation and diamond drill programs to further test geochemical anomalies and aircore results. The program is designed to test for anomalous gold (+0.02g/t), however Karora has already successfully identified several strong targets which exceeded expectations, including 3.65 g/t gold over 16 metres within an intersection of 1.35 g/t over 50 metres (see Karora news release, February 8, 2021).
Additional advanced targets for exploration during 2021 include the Spargos Project area, Mt Henry and the Sleuth trend which incorporates the Baloo deposit and the Nanook and Monsoon prospects. 2021 Resource Definition drilling will initially focus on testing targets within Higginsville Central, which includes the Aquarius, Two Boys and Trident deposits. In addition, further drilling is planned at Spargos to build upon the results from the Stage 1 drill program.

Revenue for the first quarter of 2021, was $59.3 million. During the comparable period in 2020, revenue of $54.3 million. The increase in revenue in 2021 was the result of a combination of higher gold ounces sold and higher realized prices which increased by 4% and 18%, respectively.
Net earnings for the first quarter of 2021 were $5.6 million (or $0.04 per share) compared to net earnings of $0.5 million (or $0.00 per share) for the comparable period in 2020. First quarter net earnings were negatively impacted by a non-cash (unrealized) foreign exchange loss of $4.5 million (or $0.03 per share).
Adjusted EBITDA1 for the first quarter of 2021 were $21.2 million (or $0.15 per share) compared to $19.4 million (or $0.14 per share) in the first quarter of 2021.

A whistleblower is $10 million richer, after providing the Securities and Exchange Commission with information and assistance that resulted in a substantial recovery of swindled funds. The SEC released a statement on October 31, 2022, revealing few details of the successful enforcement action, but praising the whistleblower for a significant contribution.
Securities fraud is big business that causes immense harm to honest investors and the overall economy. That’s why the SEC is always on the lookout for scams and market manipulations. But to catch fraudsters, the SEC relies heavily on insiders with knowledge of the scheme. To entice whistleblowers to come forward, Congress placed provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act, creating the SEC Whistleblower Program. The program allows the SEC to issue a reward of 10 to 30 percent of money collected whenever its enforcement efforts result in more than a $1 million recovery.
In roughly 10 years of the program’s existence, the SEC has recovered more than $5 billion and has issued rewards topping $1.3 billion. One of the great aspects of this program is that it pays for itself; whistleblowers are not paid with taxpayer funds, but with funds recovered from the offenders who violate U.S. securities law.
To be eligible as an SEC whistleblower, a person must:
- Come forward voluntarily
- Present unique information that is timely and credible
- Assist in the recovery of more than $1 million
According to the SEC, the whistleblower who earned the $10 million reward “provided important documents and met twice with Enforcement staff.” That’s not a lot of heavy lifting for such an immense payday.
Another advantage for whistleblowers is the legal protection they receive under the Dodd-Frank Act. They are able to remain anonymous throughout the process. SEC filings do not name the whistleblower. Plus, the law prohibits an employer from retaliating against a whistleblower. So, even if a whistleblower’s identity is discovered, their job is secure.
Finally, it’s important to note the positive results that flow from the SEC Whistleblower Program. The SEC can prosecute fraud cases they might never know about or wouldn’t be able to prove. Enhanced enforcement of SEC regulations makes it safer to invest, so legitimate businesses can raise capital more easily, which helps propel the economy. Moreover, depending on the size of the reward, 70 to 90 percent of the funds recovered go to reimburse cheated investors and to pay for future SEC enforcement actions.
In the decade since its inception, the SEC Whistleblower Program has been an unqualified success, and will continue to help keep the stock market honest as long as insiders with knowledge of fraud have the courage to come forward. But potential whistleblowers must be cautious. The SEC does not pursue every tip it receives, and does not pay a reward on every tip it pursues.
To protect your interests, it’s imperative that you speak to an experienced SEC whistleblower attorney. A knowledgeable lawyer can guide you through every step of the process, while protecting your rights, and enhancing your prospects of success.

“The stomach is a sac-like organ that holds food and starts to digest it by secreting gastric juice. The food and gastric juice are mixed and then emptied into the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
The stomach has 5 parts:
Cardia: The first portion (closest to the esophagus)
Fundus: The upper part of the stomach next to the cardia.
Body (corpus): The main part of the stomach, between the upper and lower parts
Antrum: The lower portion (near the intestine), where the food is mixed with gastric juice
Pylorus: The last part of the stomach, which acts as a valve to control emptying of the stomach contents into the small intestine.
The first 3 parts of the stomach (cardia, fundus, and body) are sometimes called the proximal stomach. Some cells in these parts of the stomach make acid and pepsin (a digestive enzyme), the parts of the gastric juice that help digest food. They also make a protein called intrinsic factor, which the body needs to absorb vitamin B12.
The lower 2 parts (antrum and pylorus) are called the distal stomach. The stomach has 2 curves, which form its inner and outer borders. They are called the lesser curvature and greater curvature, respectively.
Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is a cancer that starts in the stomach.
What is stomach cancer?
Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, is a cancer that starts in the stomach. To understand stomach cancer, it helps to know about the normal structure and function of the stomach.
After food is chewed and swallowed, it enters the esophagus, a tube that carries food through the neck and chest to the stomach. The esophagus joins the stomach at the gastroesophageal (GE) junction, which is just beneath the diaphragm (the thin sheet of breathing muscle under the lungs). The stomach is a sac-like organ that holds food and starts to digest it by secreting gastric juice. The food and gastric juice are mixed and then emptied into the first part of the small intestine called the duodenum.
Some people use the word stomach to refer to the area of the body between the chest and the pelvic area. The medical term for this area is the abdomen. For instance, some people with pain in this area would say they have a “stomachache,” when in fact the pain could be coming from the appendix, small intestine, colon (large intestine), or other organs in the area. Doctors would call this symptom abdominal pain, because the stomach is only one of many organs in the abdomen.
Stomach cancer should not be confused with other cancers that can occur in the abdomen, like cancer of the colon (large intestine), liver, pancreas, or small intestine because these cancers may have different symptoms, different outlooks, and different treatments.
The stomach wall has 5 layers:
The innermost layer is the mucosa. This is where stomach acid and digestive enzymes are made. Most stomach cancers start in this layer.
Next is a supporting layer called the submucosa.
Outside of this is the muscularis propria, a thick layer of muscle that moves and mixes the stomach contents.
The outer 2 layers, the subserosa and the outermost serosa, wrap the stomach.
The layers are important in determining the stage (extent) of the cancer and in helping to determine a person’s prognosis (outlook). As a cancer grows from the mucosa into deeper layers, the stage becomes more advanced and the prognosis is not as good.
Development of stomach cancer
Stomach cancers tend to develop slowly over many years. Before a true cancer develops, pre-cancerous changes often occur in the inner lining (mucosa) of the stomach. These early changes rarely cause symptoms and therefore often go undetected.
Cancers starting in different sections of the stomach may cause different symptoms and tend to have different outcomes. The cancer’s location can also affect the treatment options. For example, cancers that start at the GE junction are staged and treated the same as cancers of the esophagus. A cancer that starts in the cardia of the stomach but then grows into the GE junction is also staged and treated like a cancer of the esophagus. (For more information, see our document Esophagus Cancer.)
Stomach cancers can spread (metastasize) in different ways. They can grow through the wall of the stomach and invade nearby organs. They can also spread to the lymph vessels and nearby lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are bean-sized structures that help fight infections. The stomach has a very rich network of lymph vessels and nodes. As the stomach cancer becomes more advanced, it can travel through the bloodstream and spread to organs such as the liver, lungs, and bones. If cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or to other organs, the patient’s outlook is not as good.
Types of stomach cancers
Different types of stomach cancer include:
About 90% to 95% of cancers of the stomach are adenocarcinomas. When the term stomach cancer or gastric cancer is used, it almost always refers to an adenocarcinoma. These cancers develop from the cells that form the innermost lining of the stomach (known as the mucosa).
These are cancers of the immune system tissue that are sometimes found in the wall of the stomach. About 4% of stomach cancers are lymphomas. The treatment and outlook depend on the type of lymphoma.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)
These are rare tumors that start in very early forms of cells in the wall of the stomach called interstitial cells of Cajal. Some of these tumors are non-cancerous (benign); others are cancerous. Although GISTs can be found anywhere in the digestive tract, most are found in the stomach.
These are tumors that start in hormone-making cells of the stomach. Most of these tumors do not spread to other organs. About 3% of stomach cancers are carcinoid tumors. These tumors are discussed in more detail in our document
Other types of cancer, such as squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, and leiomyosarcoma, can also start in the stomach, but these cancers are very rare.
Physical exam: oncologist feels the abdomen of the patient for fluid, swelling, or other changes. They also will check for swollen lymph nodes.
Endoscopy: Surgical Oncologist uses a thin, lighted tube (endoscope) to look into the stomach after numbing the throat with an anesthetic spray. Patient may be given medicine to help him relax. The tube is passed through the mouth and esophagus (food pipe) to the stomach.
Biopsy: An endoscope has a tool for removing tissues. Surgical Oncologist uses the endoscope to remove tissue from the stomach. A pathologist checks the tissue under a microscope for cancer cells. A biopsy is the only sure way to know if cancer cells are present.
The primary treatments for gastric cancer (stomach cancer) include Surgery, Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy.
Surgery. Surgery offered for stomach cancer consists of some sort of resection which involves removal of a part or whole of stomach in block with surrounding tissues and lymph nodes, depending upon the extent of the disease. Gastrectomy is a technically demanding procedure and sometimes may require combined resection of surrounding organs like part of liver, pancreas, colon and spleen with complex reconstruction to restore the continuity of digestive tract
Radiation therapy. Doctors may recommend radiation therapy in combination with chemotherapy or surgery.
Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy involves the use of drugs to destroy cancer cells. It may be given before surgery, after surgery (to treat cancer that may remain), or during and following radiation. Chemotherapy may be the main treatment when the tumor can’t be surgically removed because the cancer has spread.”

“Employers are realizing times have changed. Just putting out a want ad and sitting back doesn’t work anymore.”
–John Stephany, Remolding and construction instructor, Madison, Wis.
John Stephany has spent much of his career teaching the skills and knowledge needed to get started in the trades. He grew up on a farm in central Wisconsin, where he learned about fixing and building—necessary skills for farm life. After college and a stint in the Peace Corps building low-income housing, he joined a fast-growing high-end remodeling company.
There, John found a love of teaching, which became an essential part of his role as the company grew from a three-person team to more than 20 employees. He started teaching classes through the local chapter of NARI before becoming a full-time instructor in the Construction and Remodeling Program at Madison Area Technical College, where he’s been teaching full time for the past 15 years. Each year, he and his counterparts take 34 students through a one-year diploma program, teaching them the basics of construction and remodeling. John also teaches non-credit classes for those working full time and considering a career change. Among its other courses, the school also offers classes for women—taught specifically by women—who want to gain experience and knowledge in the trades.
Not surprisingly, local companies have been very supportive and the demand for program graduates is high, especially in the current hiring environment. But John is very vocal about the need for businesses to make a cultural shift to match the demographics of his students.
“We had an African American student who graduated about three years ago—an excellent student,” says John. “He lasted about a month in his first job, where the crew worked alongside him but didn’t make him feel welcome. He was miserable.” The program helped him find another company where not only are there other employees who look like him, but where everyone welcomed him and gave him opportunities.
“Most people hiring in the construction industry look for someone who looks, talks, and acts like them,” John explains. “In order to shift some of these paradigms, the culture needs to change within the whole team.”
As a teacher, John spends a lot of his time advocating for folks of all backgrounds to enter the trades. He puts it simply: “People are happier when they’re building stuff with their hands.”

The family of Ben Savage have made an appeal for people stay safe during nights out on the three year anniversary of his disappearance.
The 18-year-old was reported missing by his family on December 6, 2016 after they found his bed untouched.
Ben, who lived in Strood, had been out with friends in Chatham the night prior.
He had been seen in the Tap N Tin in Railway Street, but after leaving alone he decided to walk home instead of getting a taxi.
But it was this decision that resulted in his death.
Police launched a widespread eight week search for the teenager, and his body was eventually found in the River Medway near Rochester Bridge on February 1, 2017.
One of the last known places he was seen was on Sun Pier, and while there was no CCTV capturing him falling into the river, it was ruled that Ben died from drowning.
'Ben was a very popular young man'
It is Ben's tragic death which has prompted a safety warning from Kent Fire and Rescue in a campaign supported by his family.
The Got Ducked Fell In campaign is urging others to stay safe, stay together and look out for their friends – raising awareness of the dangers of being near water after drinking alcohol.
Speaking on camera is his aunt Rita Hasemore who described her nephew as a "very popular young man" who was just finding his way as an adult.
She said: "Ben loved life, he was a very popular young man.
"He enjoyed socialising with his friends, he had just turned 18 and was out there, becoming a man, becoming an adult.
"December 6 was when it was alerted that Ben had gone missing.
"He had been to a number of bars and pubs, the last pub he entered was the Tap in Tin.
"He was there enjoying himself, dancing around, but he left alone that night.
"Rather than get a taxi he decided to walk home, and he walked home a slightly different route than what he normally would with his brother or his friends.
"His mum and dad raised the alarm when he wasn't in his room, and wasn't in bed.
"Ben was a creature of habit so therefore they knew something was wrong.
"The police immediately took it seriously and that's when they began their search."
She continued to describe the events that unfolded afterwards.
'Enjoy life, but stay safe'
"It was horrific, we were out searching - family, friends, colleagues, all just desperate to find him and bring him back.
"The search and rescue teams were out daily and at night doing all different searches.
"There were so many searches involved and we cannot thank you enough for that.
"So we are supporting Kent Fire and Rescue with the campaign of Got Ducked Fell In because again it is raising that awareness.
"Getting these campaigns out there, we do not want this happening to anyone else.
"Please, please, please talk to each other, look after each other, we all have that duty towards each other so it is about staying safe.
"Enjoy life but stay safe."
Kent Fire and Rescue Service said: "If you’re out drinking this festive season, make sure you and your friends get home safely by arranging a lift, ordering a taxi, or if you have to walk choose a well-lit route away from water.
"Don’t be the one who Got Ducked and Fell In."
Ben left behind his parents, his brother and a new born niece.

By Jackson Omondi
In Swahili linguistics lore, there is a saying that goes a little something like this: “funika kombe mwanaharamu apite,” which loosely translates to an act of hiding the truth so that ‘other’ folks cannot be in the know of what really obtains in a given sphere of influence.
The Jubilee propaganda machine uncorked all kinds of innuendo and gimmicks to mask the real pressing issues that have been sticking out like the proverbial sore thumb.
For starters, they didn’t have an answer to CORD’s push for dismantling the pliable IEBC. They never banked on the unanimity in CORD’s peaceful push for sending the political puppets occupying the nation’s electoral body packing. After feeble calls for counter-demonstrations, they resorted to spin.
Their spin doctors resorted to conjecture. Capitalizing on lack of video evidence showing one of CORD’s luminaries (Kalonzo Musyoka) in the thick of things! On cue, the coin-driven apparatus, claimed that Kalonzo conveniently gave the occasion a wide berth for fear of being tear-gased. That theory, fell flat when the Wiper Leader conspicuously featured in subsequent mêlées.
They were not done. The vocal and ever factual economic fact-checker Jacob Juma was felled by trigger-happy assassins and the propaganda machine went on overdrive! This time, the mission was to do everything in their power to divert attention from the public outrage and the morass occasioned by the demise of a substantive fraud-buster and boy did they pull all the stops!
From shamelessly heaping the blame on CORD leaders to mocking the deceased using a friendly media, the goal was to bastardize the legacy of the man who gave Wanjiku his all. Juma explained and broke down the Eurobond ABCs in layman’s lingo and exposed the sheer fraud that was hidden in hitherto complex monetary policy.
Wonder why he had to go? Not anymore.
And then another wave of peaceful protests blanketed the nation and the Utumishi Kwa Wote crew were unleashed to clobber Wanjiku whose ‘crime’ was simply exercising her constitutional right to picket! As images and footage of innocent civilians being brutally clobbered by police hit the blogosphere and international news cycles, Jubilee propaganda wizards threw a spanner!
Body doubles mushroomed from the thin air and the debate briskly turned to footwear, hoodies, hats and last names! All these were calculated efforts to divert attention from electoral reforms, assassinations and police brutality!
Those are the hallmarks of a failed and desperate regime. One would think that a regime led by folks who promised milk and honey to a gullible citizenry would be more than happy to talk about the spanking new five state-of-the-art stadia, wall-to-wall electrification, nominal unemployment rate, a secure Kenya, a booming economy and real free media instead of using pathetic diversionary tactics because none of the aforementioned accomplishments exist.
As CORD goes back to the original plan, Jubilants are anxiously harrumphing back to the drawing board searching for the next diversionary tactic. Granted, we CORDASHIANS felt a twinge when we lost a staunch comrade in JJ, its true that as you mirth on the temporary trance of teargas chaos, remember that we CORDASHIANS, are impervious to state bullying and nothing will stop the clamour for the greater good.
We know that you love to derisively refer to CORD leaders as “Raias,” well, those “raias” have all the time in the world to give you more sleepless nights and lest you forget; the other key actors in CORD are Senators who are virtually free to picket all day and consume all the teargas that you can muster!
There will be no kufunika kombe mwanaharamu apite. CORD has all the time and the human resources to keep on fighting. Program your stopwatches.

We have a lot of fun shopping for unique, modern furnishings for our interior design clients and wanted to expand our cool finds to the greater KC Metro through our new store!
INSPO is an expansion of the KHL Design Studio, established in Lee's Summit in 2007. Over the years, we are often asked where we discover our finds, so we felt that the Market was ready for an alternate to the common, big box stores. We go to several furniture Markets throughout the year and research smaller, unique brands. They must be a good fit for our store and clients who want something special and unlikely to be found elsewhere. When we select pieces for a residential or commercial project, we are conscious of current trends, but also seek timeless pieces with staying power, heirlooms.
INSPO will make our curated furnishings available to people who may not need design services, but want something cool for their home. We want design to be accessible and affordable to everyone. One unique piece can inspire a whole room; these are the finds we have in store. And if you are intimidated by the design process, we are here to help you! Interior design does not have to be for an elite group and uber expensive; good design should be available for all. Our design studio has a broad range in project scale and budgets. In store, we want to have good design for reasonable prices as well. Come see what we have in store and available to order!

In the current environment, children's outdoor playground is becoming more and more popular in the market. Whether it is a park or a shopping mall, there are kids playground. Below, we will provide you with the inspection, repair and maintenance methods of the kids playground equipment.
overhaul on time
Once a week, check whether the structure of each part of the equipment can still meet the playing requirements. If any screws are loose or damaged, they should be eliminated and improved immediately before playing.
Inspection of key components
Before each use, check all parts of the fastener that are prone to wear and loosening, the wire rope on the corresponding rod, the wire rope clip, the pulley parts, the turnbuckle for the wire rope, and the bow shackle. When the wear and tear of safety equipment exceeds one-tenth of the original number, it should be updated: if the wire rope has broken strands, it should be replaced, tightened and locked when the number of broken strands exceeds one-tenth of the total number of strands of the wire rope
Anti-corrosion treatment of metal parts
Columns and beams are subjected to anti-corrosion treatment every six months; the welded parts of the wire rope lugs should be inspected once a month; when the corrosion depth exceeds one-tenth of the steel pipe wall thickness, they should be replaced. The hoop of the horizontal bar should be checked before each training session to see if it is moving freely on the crossbar. If it is found that it is difficult to move, it should be lubricated in time.
Butter on time
Wire rope should be greased at least every six months. Expansion equipment manufacturers believe that the corners and welds of all equipment should be anti-corrosion treatment in spring and autumn every year, and anti-corrosion treatment in wet and rainy places before the rainy season. All instruments undergo anti-corrosion treatment every two years.

Winter sets in properly in Canada in December, with milder fall temperatures left behind. As a huge country with coastlines and landlocked areas, mountains, and plains, weather conditions vary throughout the country, even in winter. However, you can guarantee that temperatures will be cold, with northern and inland areas generally colder than their coastal counterparts, which are milder and wetter. Another consideration for travel in December is the short days, with the shortest being late in the month. The further north you travel, the shorter the days, which can limit your ability to get out and explore.
Wherever you travel in December, the temperatures will be cold, but some cities are colder than others. For example, eastern Québec City, not too far inland, has an average minimum temperature of 16°F (-9°C) and a maximum of 26°F (-3°C). Toronto, a little further inland but on Lake Ontario, is a little warmer, with a minimum temperature of 25°F (-4°C) and a maximum of 35°F (2°C). On the other side of Canada, inland Calgary is similarly cold, with a minimum of 14°F (-10°C) and a maximum of 30°F (-1°C). Coastal Vancouver, however, is milder and generally stays above freezing, with a low of 36°F (2°C) and a high of 43°F (6°C).
Crowds & Costs
December is the peak season for skiing and other winter sports in resort towns in Alberta and British Columbia and other smaller snow sports areas in Québec and Ontario. In popular resorts—such as Whistler, Revelstoke, Kicking Horse, and Banff—it's important to book accommodation in advance, especially if you're traveling later in the month when many people take Christmas and New Year vacations. Expect to pay high prices for accommodation in and transport to such areas.
Outside of ski resorts, December is the low season for travel, though the winter activities available in cities might come at a discounted rate. Note that smaller inland towns and cities that don't offer winter sports activities may not have many tourism facilities open this month. You're more likely to find a good deal on accommodation and decent winter conditions on the coast and in the big cities.
Where to Go
Despite the frigid temperatures, Toronto is lively in December as the city prepares for the holidays. The city's Distillery District hosts a winter market throughout December. Enjoy warming food and drink, shop for local crafts and souvenirs, and admire the huge lit-up Christmas tree. As well as the market, you can enjoy many other activities in Toronto, including city-center ice skating, views from the CN Tower, and galleries and museums, such as the Art Gallery of Ontario or the Royal Ontario Museum.
On the other side of Canada, Vancouver is a good base for travel in December. As well as experiencing milder (though still cold) temperatures, the city is near many great ski resorts in the mountains. Head north or southeast to Whistler, Grouse Mountain, or Cypress Mountain, among other popular ski resorts. When you're not hitting the slopes, enjoy Vancouver's city attractions, including the Museum of Anthropology and the Vancouver Aquarium.
Chat with a local specialist who can help organize your trip.
What to Do
You don't need to be into downhill skiing or snowboarding to make the most of the snowy conditions in December. Snowshoeing is a fun outdoor activity that gets you active and allows you to appreciate the winter landscape. Snowshoeing can be done in many places throughout Canada, and because it's done on flat land, you don't need to be in a mountain resort area. Some great places for snowshoeing adventures include Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park, Québec's Gatineau Park, and Saskatchewan's Moose Mountain Provincial Park.
If you have a generous budget and want to combine many winter activities into one epic adventure, consider taking a tour far north to the Yukon. This northwestern province is wild and sparsely populated. Visitors can go dog sledding, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing, watch the aurora borealis, spot wildlife such as bison and musk ox, and warm up in thermal springs. Fly to Yukon's capital, Whitehorse, from Vancouver.
Events in December
Distillery Winter Village, Toronto. Each year, starting in early November and continuing until late December, the Distillery District in Toronto hosts a festive winter market. As you stroll the vendors' market and art galleries, aromas of mulled wine and warm cooking infuse the crisp air.

If you are no longer willing to participate in the drama that accompanies your loved one's addiction, then you are ready to do a Kind Intervention.
YOUR HEART AND SOUL
You have spent tireless years raising your children with all your heart and soul. Then, something went wrong. Something you thought only happened to others became your reality. Alcohol, drugs, and other self-destructive behaviors entered your loved one’s life. Are you a hostage in your own home or are you tired of the drama or of walking on eggshells for fear of starting another argument as your loved one’s behaviors become more unstable?
It does not need to be this way. The picture on the left is me. Married, 36 years with 4 children. I am qualified to help you, having lived it myself. My / our guidance is not just theoretical. My colleagues and I will guide you and give you the information necessary to empower you to reclaim your life. Our solutions have helped hundreds of families in the last 15 years.
David Kaufman is a warm and outgoing Narrative and Solution Focused Therapist and Canadian Certified Addictions Counselor and Nationally Certified Interventionist Professional.
Today David is the Director of Group Counselling at JACS. He also facilitates three weekly support groups, lectures and counsels individuals and families.
As a counsellor, he is known for his light-hearted, empathetic and systematic practical approach.
“Addressing parent concerns in an action-oriented manner is important. Through education, skills development and action plans we can help parents better deal and cope with the many challenges they may be facing today.”
As a certified Intervention professional and a certified teacher with Specialist qualifications in Special Education, Cori brings 30 years of experience working with and teaching adolescents and twenty years of experience facilitating parenting groups. Through her experience as a teacher and administrator, she has developed her skills including conflict resolution and relationship building skills, as well a strong ability to conduct and manage groups dynamics. Cori utilizes practical skills, guidance, emotional support and strategic counselling to help those struggling with today’s family dynamics.
WHAT IS A KIND INTERVENTION?
Many people mistakenly believe and hope against experience that love will heal all. You believe, if you love your struggling addict enough, they will change.
Our job as parents is to be teachers. When we let our loved one’s continually treat themselves and us poorly, we are not teaching them the very life skills they need to live a happy and meaningful life.
You may feel that your actions or words are a demonstration of your love and therefore will help in your loved one’s healing and maturity. This is not true. Love needs boundaries.
For Example: Your loved one received a DUI. Your initial response may be to lessen the consequences of their actions by making sure their driver's licenses is not suspended. You hire a knowledgeable lawyer who specializes in avoiding legal charges or serious consequences. This is not love because by doing this you have prevented them from experiencing the consequences of their bad choices and from being a responsible and thoughtful person. Your love is supposed to help them be their best self. Sometimes the most loving thing a person can do is have firm boundaries.
A kind intervention is an action plan. We will help you create and implement the appropriate boundaries that you and your loved one need to establish a purposeful and happy life.
What to expect
Facing your fears
“The other kids and family”
If we metaphorically call the section on what is love and how not to enable as being the heart of a Kind Intervention, The Letter is the muscle that puts those ideas into a plan of action. We refer to The Letter as a declaration of independence for those who are dealing with someone struggling with an addiction. The letter gives one a moment to state his/her feelings and the boundaries that any meaningful relationship must include.
Writing the letter
Editing the letter
Presenting the letter
Overcoming Denial and breaking the silence.
Addicts are master manipulators
The 5 C's: Dealing with shame and guilt
You don’t have to be a hostage in your own home
Learn how to say “NO”
Boundaries: The gift of consequences
THE FOUR PART ACTION PLAN
Codependency refers to a pattern of behaviours and thoughts in which a person develops an unhealthy connection, often to the point of neglecting their own needs and well-being. This behaviour is often seen in relationships where one person has addictive problems and the other person takes on the role of fixer, caretaker or enabler.
Codependent individuals may have difficulty setting boundaries, saying no, and asserting or even knowing what are their own needs and desires. Codependents are often manipulated into doing things against everyone’s best interest. They may also experience feelings of confusion, guilt, shame, and anxiety when attempting to prioritize their own well-being. In extreme cases, codependency can lead to physical, emotional, and financial abuse.
A kind intervention is not for everyone. Mental health issues such as bipolar disorder, OCD severe anxiety, clinical depression, and other mood disorders require additional support.
IS A KIND INTERVENTION APPROPRIATE FOR US?
PART 4 - AFTER CARE
A Support Group can be defined as a gathering of people with common experiences and concerns who meet together to provide emotional and moral support for one another. The members of a support group often have similar feelings, worries, everyday problems, and/or decisions to make.
Our support groups offer a safe place where you can get information that’s practical, constructive, and helpful. You’ll have the benefit of encouragement, and you’ll learn more about coping with the problems you face through shared experiences. Hearing from others facing similar challenges can also make you feel less alone in your troubles.
As well our support groups encourage a sense of community, a source of empathetic understanding and provide an avenue for establishing social networks. Our meetings take place online. Some groups are ongoing, while others have a predetermined start and end or total number of sessions for the group.
“We are deeply indebted for the profound wisdom, non-judgmental support, and sense of community facilitated through the brilliance of David Kaufman. During the course of the evening, he weaves the experiences of recovered and recovering addicts and their families who share personal stories giving tools to cope with the many stages of the journey of addiction. It is raw and honest, heart-wrenching and heartwarming."
“We live in a world of challenges and many are beset with formidable life issues. What a relief to have such a positive and goal oriented therapist in our midst. David Kaufman is a highly reliable and successful therapist. I have referred patients to Mr. Kaufman for years. He is at once empathic, firm and able to create a secure environment for his clients. My patients have benefited tremendously from his brief therapy approaches. I fully endorse Mr. Kaufman as a top rate therapist.”
Dr. Michael Kirzner, M.D., CCFP, ISAM, CSAM,
Family and Addiction Medicine
"We leave each session with new insight that we can apply immediately into our lives with new strategies, empathy, and hope for ourselves and our addicted loved ones. There is no reason to walk this path alone. We urge anyone dealing with addiction in their family to reach out. “
“Thank you so much for sharing “The Letter,” with me. I read it over a couple of times yesterday and it is quite powerful. I can see how working towards clear, stronger boundaries is one of the major keys to change. “
"David Kaufman has been instrumental in supporting my partner, helping us navigate challenging times with his honest, sensitive guidance and education. David has become a mentor to us and we owe our success in large part to his patience and commitment to our journey. "
"David is truly gifted in his ‘what you need to hear’ communication skills. He calls it as it is and doesn’t allow for ‘excuses’ or ‘blame’...just ‘results’. The ‘group meetings’ on Thursday evening facilitated by both David and Cori have been so valuable as a parent of an ‘addict’..."
"There are very few people with the emotional depth and psychological insight as David. His ability to tap into the human psyche and provide people with the tools they need to have a better understanding of life and themselves. He offers a priceless gift for any growth-minded person."
Mark Halpern, CFP, TEP
CEO WEALTHinsurance.com Inc.
“I have personally referred numerous couples and individuals with difficult issues to David Kaufman… I greatly recommend him as someone to turn to for counseling… his clients achieve their goals and reach emotionally fulfilling, practical and satisfying solutions to their problems.”
Rabbi Yaakov Felder,
KShomrai Shabbos Chevrah Mishnayoth

Strong jobs report, strong economy?
Kitco Commentaries | Opinions, Ideas and Markets Talk
Featuring views and opinions written by market professionals, not staff journalists.
The downside scenario is playing out in the monetary metals. Gold lost support at its rising trendline. However, gold should find major support somewhere in the highlighted area, as sentiment in the sector continues its slide into outright depression. This may be the spot that long-term investors pick to add to existing holdings, especially in the physical form.
It’s no surprise that silver also continues its descent, having breached below $19 this week. As suggested on Monday morning, the downside target for silver remains in the $18.50 - 75 range. Of course, an overshoot to the downside on capitulative selling in the metals sector is extremely common; bottom pickers should expect to have their mental capital tested, even as the signs of an impending bottom pile up.
With employment data coming in stronger than expected this morning, the market will likely keep believing that the FED will continue to jawbone a sustained aggressive rate hike path, with the "strong economy" narrative as impetus.
Thanks, and have a great week.

This handsome loaf is George and he’s finally settled into his new home in the USA. Back at his old home George was the man of the house. He was a little uncertain if things would change after the move, but thankfully everyone has settled back into their old routines. And George is still the boss.

At each season of every year, the Lord provides his bounty and abundance. We have cold and rain which then brings seedtime in the Spring, and harvest in the Fall.
We may have rain and cold in our own lives, too...but God uses these times to prepare us by planting the 'seed' of his Word in our hearts.
He promises to bring a bountiful harvest in our lives, and the lives of others around us. Then our hearts also will 'sing and shout for joy!'
9 - Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 - Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 - Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 - They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 - The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

Steadfast preparation and an obsessive attention to detail are the keys to a successful personal injury and accident trial practice. Tom Koester has been one of the foremost plaintiff’s attorneys in Central Illinois for decades. His results speak volumes.
Mr. Koester has practiced law with a focus on personal injury in Champaign County for over 30 years following his graduation from Drake University Law School. His first 11 years of practice were at the Champaign County State’s Attorney’s Office where he prosecuted thousands of felony criminal cases including sexual assaults, child abuse and a number of Champaign County’s most infamous murder cases. He participated in the prosecution of the sexual assault case in which DNA evidence was used for the first time in the State of Illinois.
Since joining the firm in 1994, he has concentrated his practice in civil litigation to the areas of wrongful death and personal injuries including those resulting from medical negligence and automobile collisions. Tom has obtained the two largest medical malpractice recoveries in the firm’s 120 year history at $3,500,000.00 and $3,200,000.00 respectively. He has tried well over 100 jury trials in State and Federal courtrooms throughout Central Illinois.
Tom’s dedication to his clients and the Champaign-Urbana community is clear in all he does. This has led to him being regarded as one of the most talented trial attorneys in Central Illinois in a variety of practice areas. Mr. Koester’s prominence as a trial lawyer has been recognized nationally as well as by many organizations such as Martindale-Hubbell and a Top 100 ranking in the National Trial Lawyer’s Association.
In addition to his practice of law, Tom frequently serves as a guest lecturer at various bar association seminars including the Illinois State Bar Association, the Illinois Trial Lawyer’s Association and the Champaign County Bar Association. In addition, he has also been an invited speaker at the University of Illinois School of Nursing, and the Champaign-Urbana Rape Crisis Center. He has also given numerous trial demonstrations at the University of Illinois School of Law’s trial advocacy program.
Mr. Koester is an avid Big Ten sports fan and a well-known supporter of the local arts including the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and the Champaign-Urbana Ballet. Tom enjoys golf and spending time with his two grown children and his wife, Brenda.

Despite economic growth 40% of the population in Rwanda still lives below the absolute poverty line. The country ranks 157 out of 189 according to the United Nations Human Development Index. 60 percent of the population is under 26 years old. A major challenge is to train these young people in skilled trades or service industries.
Kolping in Rwanda
With 4,777 members in 96 Kolping Families the National Association of Rwanda has grown considerably since its foundation in 2008. Almost 90% of the population lives from subsistence farming. To make sure that the success is long-term, Kolping Rwanda places the focus on:
Kolping made me a rich man!
“After having joined Kolping, my life changed totally”, Fidèle, a 32-year-old father, tells relieved. “The assistance and trainings helped me a lot and I decided to remain at home in the countryside and to work very hard. In this way, I attained to buy a piece of land, I planted bananas, sugar cane und palms and finally I am able to feed my three children. You can see that they are strong and smart. From the Kolping goats, I am able to pay health insurance on time. In one word: Kolping made me a rich man.”

Punish ‘Moral Policing’
The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly condemns the Hindutva elements who sought to stir up trouble with the allegation of “beef” being served in the canteen at Kerala House in New Delhi. Firm action should be taken against them.
The CPI(M) condemns the raid conducted by Delhi Police at the Kerala House on the pretext of investigating whether beef was being served in the canteen. Everybody is aware that buffalo meat is allowed legally to be sold in Delhi and any preparation of such meat is not an illegality.
This raid conducted by the Delhi Police is, therefore, illegal. The Delhi Police is directly administered by the Union Home Minister. This comes in the background of a nationwide campaign unleashed by the RSS patronized by the Central Government led by Prime Minister Modi against alleged consumption of beef in various parts of the country. This is only a pretext to sharpen communal polarization across the country through which the BJP seeks to gain politically and electorally.
Initially the Kerala state government authorities appeared to have succumbed to this illegal pressure by the Delhi Police and removed beef preparations from the menu of the Kerala House canteen. This is highly deplorable.
This act by the Delhi Police is also a clear violation of the federal structure of the Indian Constitution and infringes upon the rights of the state governments on their property in the national capital.
This action by the Delhi Police is unacceptable. Government of Delhi must institute a proper probe into this incident and strict action must follow against those responsible.

CENTERFIELD -- A Sanpete County woman is in jail, accused in the death of her toddler. Police in Centerfield arrested Arial Hampton Friday afternoon.
On Thursday night, paramedics were called to Hampton's home on a report that her 2-year-old daughter, Kirsten, had drowned. The child was rushed to the Gunnison Valley Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Hampton was arrested after doctors found the cause of death was inconsistent with drowning. Her sister-in-law says there was a history of violence.
"We got up really fast to check on the baby, and she threw her across the room onto the couch saying she wanted to kill her. She is constantly hurting those children," Crystal Marie Brown said.
There was a candlelight vigil held Friday Night at Brown's home in American Fork. They say Kirsten, despite being abused, was always a smiling, happy little girl.

Can Austin area fish take the heat?
Thousands of dead fish washed up on Texas beaches in June, in part because warmer temperatures heated the waters and lowered the levels of dissolved oxygen fish need to survive.
While the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hasn’t found any “fish kills” — localized die-offs of fish — in Central Texas, Patrick Ireland, a fisheries biologist with the department, said there is a limit to how much heat any given species of fish can tolerate.
“In Texas, these fish have gotten used to these types of intense heat events throughout history," Ireland said. "But this is particularly hot.”
The National Weather Service issued several Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories for the Austin area as temperatures hit triple digits several days in a row in June.
Popular sport fish like largemouth bass and sunfish will seek deeper waters or shaded areas to try to keep cool and avoid the solar radiation. Those shaded areas can be near rocky shorelines, under docks or by man-made sunken brush piles. When the fish find a good spot, they can basically hover in a stationary position.
“That’s probably what they typically do in these summer months because the water is so hot that their metabolism’s really burning through energy,” Ireland said. “So, it behooves them to stay stationary in a shaded cooler area.”
But any fish, including the largemouth bass and sunfish, swimming through shallow streams won't have access to the cooler spots typically found in larger lakes or ponds.
“Obviously, shallow water’s going to heat up a lot faster," Ireland said. "I’d imagine in those streams, this is probably pretty extreme for a lot of those fish.”
Ireland said if the weather conditions continue, pockets of fish may die in some bodies of water. A combination of hot water temperatures, cloudy days preventing phytoplankton from producing dissolved oxygen, and no wind to stir the water could result in a rapid drop in dissolved oxygen levels leading some fish to die and others to flee in search of more oxygen-rich waters.
In the meantime, Texas Parks and Wildlife continues to stock local bodies of water with fish from its hatcheries. But the department is measuring water temperatures and dissolved oxygen levels first to ensure the fish can survive — at least until they are hooked by an angler.

Long Beach Suburbanization and Race – Historic Context Statement
This document represents the resolve of a city to capture the under-told story of the city’s diversity, housing segregation, and fight for civil rights—providing an important framework for evaluating historic places associated with its communities of color.
Historic context statements are studies that serve as tools to help inform planning efforts and evaluations of places of potential historical significance. In 2019, the City of Long Beach commissioned the context statement to capture the under-told story of the city’s diversity, housing segregation, and fight for civil rights.
In the post-World War II era, the city aggressively annexed adjacent farmland and orange groves in competition with new cities being established nearby, which resulted in a significant expansion of residential development, much of which was influenced by exclusionary practices. Because of this boom in the early 1950s of racially divided residential development, Long Beach become a central player in the fight for fair housing in Southern California.
Community outreach was the key component for the success of this project. Outreach activities included the creation of an advisory committee composed of historians, community advocates, and members of neighborhood organizations to provide guidance and input at key points of the project. A series of community meetings were held with specific geographic and ethnic/cultural groups to provide members of the community the opportunity to participate in the project to ensure that their story was accurately represented.
Documenting difficult history is challenging, but projects like this help advance historic preservation in Los Angeles County by actively promoting inclusion at the city level in preservation planning efforts and by opening doors for preservation incentives to previously underrepresented communities.
The City of Long Beach serves as an important example of how preservation planning needs to evolve to meet future need and the project received a Preservation Award from the L.A. Conservancy in 2023.
2023 Celebration Video
The L.A. Conservancy celebrated the 2023 Preservation Awards winners at the historic Television City in Hollywood with a video showcasing their stories. The program celebrated their hard work, dedication, and achievement. We’re thrilled to share Long Beach Suburbanization and Race – Historic Context Statement inspiring stories with you.

The past few years of the MLS Cup Playoffs have been...not fun.
This isn’t to discount the games themselves, which have been exhilarating at times. But the execution of the playoffs have been dire: Lower seeds have disproportionally upset the top teams, while the FIFA international break effectively kills the postseason’s momentum.
Luckily big changes are in store for 2019.
Obviously the biggest change is the elimination of a two-leg playoff series, set to be replaced by a single-elimination format with the higher seed hosting the match. Additionally the new format makes it much harder for teams to sneak into the playoffs on a hot streak and outperform better sides, bringing balance to a format that has favored the underdogs over the years.
The 2019 MLS Cup playoffs will also conclude before the international break, allowing the entirely of the tournament to take place within three weeks. (With better weather)
You can learn more about the new rules HERE.

Watch Now: The Christian Response to Terrorism and how we Respond Theologically
We were privileged to hear from Canon Andrew White at a public lecture on 6 November 2018 at Laidlaw’s Henderson campus.
For more than a decade Andrew pastored one of the largest churches in Iraq, St George’s Church in Baghdad, earning him the moniker “The Vicar of Baghad”. He is something of a legend: a man of great charm and energy, whose personal suffering has not deflected him from his internationally recognised relief and reconciliation work in Iraq and the Middle East. Since ordination, Andrew has had an extensive role in the work of reconciliation, bringing together Muslims and Christians, Israelis and Palestinians, Shia and Sunni – all of which have carried huge risks.
Andrew's current ministry is Jerusalem MERIT (Middle East Reconciliation International), dedicated to supporting the Iraqi refugee community in Jordan and to finding peaceful solutions to conflicts in the Middle East, promoting peace and reconciliation
He has written a number of books including: Iraq: Searching for Hope (2005), The Vicar of Baghdad (2009), Suffer the Children (2010), Faith Under Fire (2011), and Older Younger Brother: The Tragic Treatment by Christians of the Jews (2014). His most recent book is his autobiography, My Journey So Far (2015).
Andrew is a man who is unswervingly dedicated to the cause of reconciliation, despite his own personal struggles and sorrows (he suffers from MS and ME and is largely wheel-chair bound). His lecture was compelling, lively, inspiring and challenging. He spoke from a deep place of loving Jesus and loving people.

The cold really makes those Spring days seem pretty far away. One thing my family has looked forward to each June was the Fort Sisseton Historical Festival in Northeast South Dakota. It has always been an impromptu family reunion of sorts and one particular year, as a boy, I was allowed to bring one friend along. So that year my buddy Wade and I did the tough-guy camping-on-the-prairie with our sleeping bags next to the fire thing. We had had a long day of running around the fort, taking it all in, and pretty soon we were out like lights. My parents were tucked away in the camper and we were sleeping under the stars.... it was perfect... until the camper door came crashing open in the middle of the
night. It seems that sometime in the night Wade had kicked and rolled enough that the bottom end of the sleeping bag had gotten dangerously close to the fire, well close enough that it was on fire! The guy crashing out of the camper was my father who had just happened to take a look out the window to see if the fire was out yet... umm, not quite out, I guess. We had camped next the slough outside the fort this year so my dad was caught in a dilemma... do I drag the sleeping bag, kid and all, to the water to put it out, find other water or stomp it out. Seeing as putting someone with their legs and arms in a sleeping bag in a body of water doesn't sound like it has a good ending, he opted to smother the flames with another camp blanket. Of course this happened pretty fast, so I never even got out of my sleeping bag before it was over. Dad
went back inside, I went back to sleep and the funny part is the Wade never woke up during the whole thing. We had to tell him about it the next day. He did say his feet seemed a little colder later in the night, though.
Thanks again for picking up Tidbits... HAVE A SAFE WEEK!

Double thermal enjoyment
This is a rarity in Austria: experience sunshine moments times two at the two local thermal baths in Bad Kleinkirchheim.
While the Römerbad thermal baths will impress you with their incomparable sauna and wellness facilities, the St. Kathrein family & health thermal baths delight visitors with the largest water surface of all Carinthian thermal baths and an 86-metre-long slide, also among the longest in the country.
Family & health thermal spa St. Kathrein
As the St. Kathrein thermal baths have the largest water surface of all Carinthian thermal spas, you have plenty of space to swim your rounds in the sports pool. This is possible in both the indoor and outdoor pools. Especially after a day out and about in the surrounding mountain world - on foot or by bike - the pleasantly warm thermal water has a regenerating effect. Then you can treat yourself to a massage or beauty treatment.
You can enjoy relaxing in the sauna world, while your children make the most of the varied children's programme, splashing in the children's area or whizzing down the slide. Come and see the impressive thermal world for yourself. All ages will experience their personal sunshine moment at the St. Kathrein thermal baths. The integrated nock/MED health centre ensures that you will be fit again for the next day.
Römerbad thermal baths

Sports Desk, Jul 1 (EFE).- Points leader Max Verstappen (Red Bull) took top honors Saturday in the sprint event of the Formula One Grand Prix of Austria, ahead of Mexican teammate Sergio “Checo” Perez and Spaniard Carlos Sainz (Ferrari).
The Dutchman overcame losing the lead to Checo at the start and finished the race 21 seconds ahead of the other Red Bull driver to claim the 8 points and boost his total to 203 as he pursues a third consecutive F1 title.
The Aston Martin duo of Canadian Lance Stroll and Spanish two-time champion Fernando Alonso finished fourth and fifth, respectively, in wet-dry conditions at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.
Germany’s Nico Hülkenberg (Haas) was sixth and Frenchman Esteban Ocon (Alpine) took seventh place.
British driver George Russell, who started from 15th on the grid, made it all the way up to eighth and earned a point. Fellow Britons Lando Norris (McLaren) and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) completed the top 10.
Verstappen, winner in six of eight races this season, will start Sunday’s Grand Prix from pole, followed by Monaco’s Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), Sainz, and Norris.
Seven-time champion Hamilton and Stroll will share the third row, in front of Alonso (P7) and Hülkenberg (P8).
France’s Pierre Gasly (Alpine) and Thai driver Alex Albon (Williams) will start from the fifth row on the grid.
Checo Perez, the only other person besides Verstappen to see the checkered flag this season, fared badly in qualifying and had to settle for P15.
The Mexican has 133 points in the driver standings. Alonso is third with 121, followed by Hamilton (102) and Sainz (74).

Ok, event might be a stretch. The general committee has voted that we want to preserve our web domain of www.larphouse.org as well as expanding the site to be a functional tool for our organization. Features we would like to have on the site would include:
-A calendar of events and meetings
-A place to archive our events
-Easy access for anybody to view all of our current policies
-If possible, added features with social media including auto updating to our social media site (that would be extremely cool)
The always impressive Ben Francis has agreed to build our site, but we need to pay for a year’s worth of web hosting with a new company (since WordPress doesn’t support these features and our subscription is almost up anyhow). This will cost the organization a whopping $30 for this first year. If you can spare a few dollars to let our community have nice things, it would be a completely awesome thing to do. If you do then you can unofficially be the director nice things. At Larp House we like having nice things. Help us have nice things. If you can donate, please e-mail use at [email protected] and we’ll work out a way to pick up your generous donation (please no credit cards, checks, pay pal, bit coins, or rupees at this time).
Thanks for being awesome,

Cuba is going through one of its most difficult times in recent years. There is a growing economic crisis in addition to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In an unprecedented move, thousands of Cubans took to the streets on Sunday to protest the government of Miguel Díaz-Canel as well as U.S. policies against the country. The protests led to police action.
On Tuesday morning, Latino Rebels spoke with Claudia Genlui, art curator and leader of the San Isidro Movement, which in November 2020 held another unprecedented demonstration to demand the release of rapper Denis Solis. The leader of this movement and Claudia’s partner, Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara, was arrested on Sunday.
Latino Rebels: What has been happening since Sunday?
Claudia Genlui: Well, to understand a little bit of what is happening in Cuba, we have to understand the context. First of all, there is a worsening of the economic crisis caused by this pandemic and secondly, by bad management on the part of the government to satisfy the basic needs of the people in Cuba, something that has been happening for a long time. It has reached its peak because of everything with this pandemic that we are living.
LR: The pandemic was the catalyst…
CG: There has been an excessive increase of cases in the city of Matanzas. The situation got out of hand. There were people giving information about overcrowding in hospital corridors, people in their homes with the bodies of their dead relatives. The lack of medicine, although it is something that is not new, has been going on for almost a year. There is a great shortage of medicine in Cuba and I am talking about basic medicine, such as controlled medicine for people with hypertension or chronic diseases who need it.
LR: This is not the first time that Cuba has had a crisis. Why are people taking to the streets this time?
CG: We must also understand what happened in November 2020 in the protests of the San Isidro Movement in front of the Ministry of Culture. There were almost 600 people, which was unprecedented in recent years and we showed that we could take the public space spontaneously. I think that the worsening of this whole economic crisis made our discontent explode on Sunday. The Cuban people can’t take it anymore. We have nowhere to go. Every day that goes by, a measure is imposed that the only thing it does is to suffocate us more. And I believe that somehow the outbreak was totally spontaneous.
LR: No organization or leaders are behind this?
CG: For example, we are the San Isidro Movement, one of the movements with more voice among the people right now, with more reach and more influence. We knew nothing about it. I mean, Luis Manuel was here with me in the house and we woke up with the news. There were a lot of people in the street. We never imagined it.
It was something that emerged spontaneously. The fear was broken after the indoctrination we have been living through for years. It is not as Díaz-Canel says that the streets belong to the revolutionaries, that is a mistake. The streets are a public space belonging to the people…
LR: How was Luis Manuel arrested?
CG: We didn’t know anything. We were here in the house when we were woken up by a phone call and messages from people. Then, at the moment he gets super excited. Luis Manuel made a statement on behalf of the San Isidro Movement, saying that we should also go out to the streets peacefully to demand our rights. When he and other friends went out, they were stopped and detained. He is in Villa Marista prison and [Monday] they called his uncle to ask him to bring him some personal belongings. Something that worries me because this may be an indicator that they are planning to keep him detained.
LR: You can’t communicate either …
CG: We have very little access to information throughout the island because all communications have been cut off. We still do not have access to the internet. It has been very complicated to find out what is happening outside Havana. What worries me the most right now is the repressive wave that is coming especially on those political prisoners. I feel fear right now for what can happen to us because we are at risk right now. If the president has said they are going to increase repression—also that the protests are supported by imperialism. That is a lie.
LR: What are you asking of the United States?
CG: Support. Right now we need support. All of us who think differently, feel isolated and alone or that we have no more strength. We need to look after all the political prisoners, they are part of the civil society and they are fundamental pillars to continue with this struggle.
What is your dream for Cuba?
CG: Cuba needs a presidential and economic change. I imagine a democratic Cuba, a different Cuba where the rights of everyone are respected. We need freedom in the state, decentralization of power. Evidently, the Cuban government is not satisfying the political needs of a people who are sinking deeper into poverty every day.

On Jan. 1, 2020, AB 749 went into effect here in California, setting new guidelines for “no rehire” provisions often found in settlement agreements.
Traditionally, many workers who settled claims against their employers were required to agree they would never again work for that company, or its affiliates.
Written by Assemblymembers Lorena Gonzalez, Mark Stone and Eloise Reyes, the law states that employers may no longer reject an application if the applicant had a prior settlement with the company.
A few important notes: If the employee was involved in a sexual assault or harassment incident, business owners can take advantage of the no-rehire provision. Additionally, businesses have the power to terminate employees with a no-rehire provision “if there is a legitimate non-discriminatory or non-retaliatory reason for terminating the employment relationship or refusing to rehire the person.”

It’s day 4 of our 30 Day Brainstorm Challenge – Eliminate the Weight
Today was travel day.
My daughter just moved out to California from Illinois and it was time to make a visit. She lives by the beach – so hey…make room for Mom!
Anyway, today’s aha moment is based on what is commonly referred to as “Amateur Season” in the travel world – or otherwise known as Summertime. It’s when families who only travel once a year converge on Chicago O’Hare and the scare the bejeezus out of us business travelers. It’s from here, I had an important light bulb moment. Take a listen and let me know your thoughts about eliminating the weight in the comment section below.
NO! It’s not too late! See the original 30 Day Brainstorm Challenge post here
