ALBANY – Dr. Mary Bassett, a former New York City health commissioner, has been named to lead the state’s sprawling health department that has regulatory oversight over hospitals and nursing homes and runs everything from the Medicaid program to pandemic responses.
Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday confirmed that Bassett was the choice to replace Dr. Howard Zucker, who ran the state’s Covid-19 response efforts for more than a year and came under criticism for some of the decisions he made.
Bassett will start Dec. 1. Her appointment is subject to state Senate confirmation, which is expected given statements in her favor for the better part of a week now by Democrats who run the chamber.
"Our recovery from this pandemic requires tested leadership and experience to improve health equity and access across the state, and Dr. Bassett is perfectly equipped to lead the New York State Department of Health during this critical moment," Hochul said Wednesday morning in a statement.
Hochul called Bassett “both a highly regarded public health expert and an exemplary public servant, and I look forward to working with her to keep New Yorkers safe and healthy."
In her own statement, Bassett said the pandemic highlighted the importance of public health “while also revealing inequities driven by structural racism.”
“As we move to end the pandemic, we have a unique opportunity to create a state that is more equitable for all New Yorkers,’’ she said.
Bassett comes to the job from Harvard University’s Practice of Health and Human Rights division in the department of Social and Behavioral Sciences. Until 2018, she was the commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in the administration of Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Bassett grew up in New York City and has her medical degree from Columbia University.

This is an trip not to be missed.
You are picked up from your hotel, delivered to the Mary D which takes you out to the lighthouse (about 1 hour)
The trip includes fish feeding, snorkling, shark feeding out on the reef, a fantastic lunch with wine and a cultural show.
You can climb to the top of the lighthouse if you wish (I didn't, but I hear the views are spectacular)
The lighthouse was built in France, and shown in Paris. Then dismantled and shipped and re-erected on the attol.
- Arts and Culture
- Diving and Snorkeling
Ile Aux Canards
Getting the taxi boat over to Ile Aux Canards (Duck Island) was well worth it.
Good swimming, you can hire snorkels and get amongst it. Excellent snorkelling, and a great place to get away from it and relax.
It's a short taxi ride from Anse Vata.
Le Petit Train
A great way to discover Nouméa, these open-sided motorised “trains” depart regularly on a circle route that includes all of Nouméa’s major attractions, incl. the main shopping area, botanic gardens, beaches and Tijabou Cultural Centre.
Musée de la Ville de Noumea
This fine museum on the northern side of the square is devoted to the history of Noumea.
It is housed in a fine colonial building, and has varied and interesting exhibits ranging from the early life-style of the city dwellers to the varied cultural mix and even World War II!
Situated in Anse Vata. It contains rare and unusual marine life, from sponges and coral through to the big fish with sharp teeth. It probabaly is not the biggest aquarium in the world but it is very colourfull non the less and gives a wonderful indication as to what the wildlife in the south pacific has to offer, the marinelife anyway.
Place des Cocotiers
The main square of central Noumea is a very pretty place with fountains, statues and lots of shady trees. It seems to be a favourite with tourists and Kanaks alike. It is also surrounded by some of Noumea's best bookstores, cafes and souvenir shops, and is where the country's best tourist office is located, so should probably be your first port of call in the city.
Doniambo Nickel Smelter
Without a doubt the worst part of the city is its Nickel refinery. Its situated to the north of the city centre and unfortunately cant be missed. To many of Noumeas inhabitants it is decribed a an eyesore but brings lucrative revenue to the island. Its downright filthy and a blemish to this beautiful city.
The furnace of Doniambo', is a multi-chimney and is very large in size making it one of the largest nickel refinerys in the southern hemisphere
A day trip that i truly enjoyed was taking a bus to the lookouts on the hills surrounding Noumea. The give some wonderful views of the port and the city as well as some of the picturesque beaches and small islands that litter the sea near the port. In my opinion it is definately a must.
Baie des Citrons
OK, enough of sightseeing! :-)
For many visitors, Noumea's main attractions are the beaches.
There are several of them, but as I am not a fan of beaches, I only checked out the two most popular ones. I must admit they are very good for beaches in a major city!
Baie des Citrons is the shorter, quieter of the two main beaches. It is also the more sheltered one, usually better for swimming. It tends to attract a more "senior" crowd.
New Caledonia Museum
The "national" museum of New Caledonia is easily the best museum in the whole South Pacific. Its first floor houses a comprehensive array of traditional Kanak artefacts, complete with whole traditional houses and boats, while the second floor has good collections from the wider South Pacific region.
Not to be missed!
Definitely worth a visit. This facility holds a wonderful collection of cultural artifacts both from New Caledonia and other island nations of the Pacific, even Irian Jaya and Papua New Guinea. There are nguzunguzus from the Solomon Islands and some beautiful tamtam drums from Malekula and Ambrym Islands in Vanuatu. The only complaint is that the plaques were all in French without English translations. Quite a problem for those of us whose French is a little shakey.
Entrance at the time of my visit cost 200 CFP. Be sure to check on this--the currency in use has possibly changed by now.
- Historical Travel
- Arts and Culture
Take a tour.
I highly reccomend you take some sort of tour. There are many to choose from. You can go by bus, petit train, horse drawn carriage or even on a Harley Davidson. Noumea is relatively large and I don't reccomend driving around yourself. Alot of winding streets and people tend to put there foot down a bit. To get the most out of Nomea you really have to get out there and see the many sights. Taking a tour is the best and safest way. Some tours include pastries and drinks others champagne. Ours did and the pastries were delicious! I think I paid about $45 and it was well worth it. Pictures coming soon.
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
Just past the Protestant church is the plce where New Caledonia's 54 seat congress meets.
More of political than architectural interest, it is also supposed to house a small collection of local rocks and shells inside, which are open for public viewing.
The residence of the French High Commissioner is a beautiful, colonial-style villa nearby, which is of course not open for the public.
You can still get a decent view of the exterior across the fence from the western side.
Noumea's premier beach stretches in the south of the city, flanked by hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops and the like.
It is also the beach preferred by the younger, sportier crowd like surfers and topless sunbathers.

Amik Plain of Hatay province, one of the most important centres of agricultural production, has the first harvest of cotton planted in more than 300 thousand hectares area.
AK Party Hatay Deputy Hüseyin Yayman, Provincial Director of Agriculture and Forestry Ergün Çolakoğlu and farmers participated in the harvest carried out in the field of a producer in Topboğazı District of Kırıkhan district of Hatay.
Yayman, in his speech, said that cotton is one of Turkey’s strategic products.
Indicating that cotton is an indispensable product for the Amik Plain, Yayman said, “Turkey ranks 8th in cotton production and 4th in consumption across the world. This means that, we are importing cotton. We expect much more support to this strategic crop from our Agriculture and Forestry Minister.”
Yayman stated, “Cotton is so valuable for Turkey because of its usage both in textiles and livestock along with feed industry as well as in daily life. We have a request from our Minister concerning such an important crop. Actually this demand comes from our chambers of agriculture, farmers and all provincial non-govermental organizations.”
Provincial Director of Agriculture and Forestry Ergün Çolakoğlu pointed out that they expect high yields in cotton this year and 200 thousand tons of yield is expected from “white gold” planted in more than 300 thousand decares.

Join me for my rather warped idea of what it would sound like if you were sitting in the middle of an internal combustion engine. Best with headphones on….
All done on my Machine Mikro.
I’m sure they’re used for something…
A wheel that carries a considerable amount of weight.
The Bulbous Forefoot or, Bulbous Bow, greatly increases fuel efficiency and the fins help with stability. More about this technology (an American invention) here. The ‘snoot’ shown below belongs to a trawler but most ships are built with bulbous bows these days.
There was a time when aircraft flew without the aid of computers….
The innards of an aircraft engine. Kind of like human innards. There’s something very artistic about engines. Where would we be without heat engines?
They just don’t make them like they used to….
We live on a boat and people often ask us what happens to the human waste. Here’s the answer. The waste is sucked out of the boat’s holding tank and is taken away to be disposed of correctly (and legally). Devices such as these are known as [delightfully] ‘poo suckers.’ The poo sucking process is quick, easy and hygienic. The human waste in the holding tanks is often known as ‘black water’. Water from the shower and sinks is known as ‘grey water’.
People seem to have lost their way today. This will get you home. Steady as she goes!
This is not exactly what I was expecting when I opened my Dubai hotel bedroom curtains this morning. Nothing if not different!

DIY Hair Pins
No matter if it’s the holiday season or dead in the middle of the year- it’s always trendy to have fabulous hair! (Say’s the daughter of a hairstylist- tee hee). SO with that why not add some fun accessories to your do? I know it’s easy to plop on a hat or head scarf when you are having a bad hair day- but today we are going to make a few fun hair pins that are an easy way to zest up your hair accessories. (and look like you too the extra time and thought- even though it’s SO easy!) These hair pins would make for some great gift or stocking stuffer ideas too! I literally just walked around the house grabbing items that I thought might be cute in my hair, here are some ideas I came up with…
Buttons, leather, old earrings, pins, nail polish jewels,etc.
All you will need are some scissors, hot glue and bobby pins
I started to play with the leather, I love all things geometric so I began by cutting some fun shapes from the leather and gluing them to the bobby pins and layering….
Next I played with the buttons….
And then even the nail polish, I though red would really make a pop in my hair 🙂
Here is an old earring that I lost the pair too…
I simply bent the back down and broke it off and it was ready to glue to my pinsReady to see the creations??
And now to wrap up some gifts!!

Learn more about Solum
Environmental responsibility for a better world
Solum Ambiental is a company that aims at the processing and cogeneration of energy by means of solid wastes of any class, based on an innovative technology, not harming the environment, and with an economically-feasible and highly-efficient destination.
Solum also markets equipment for the processing of solid wastes and services for industries, companies, and public agencies, integrating the several components necessary for the provision of a full waste solution.
Learn more about the company and the innovative machine VORAX by accessing the menu.
Does not process the waste in the excessive presence of air, considerably reducing the production of pollutants that need to be treated.
Does not produce cancerous molecules that need a lot of oxygen to be formed and gases to be treated.
Does not form ashes, a toxic by-product that is always present in the conventional processes.
The process is fully automated, which makes the equipment operation very simple.
Understand the solution
Environmental responsibility and sustainability
Vorax - UTR DuoTherm, which is Solum main equipment, can process solid wastes of any class, based on an innovative technology that generates a temperature gradient produced by two thermal sources. It is a dry-distillation process that consists in heating the waste and resulting in three fractions of different physical states.Learn more
The machine can treat all types of waste, since they are tested and adjusted according to the necessity and the waste behavior, paying special attention to the 100%-liquid wastes, which will be treated in another reactor that is more appropriate for treatment of liquids.
As there is virtually no atmospheric air in the process, there is no formation of cancerous molecules such as dioxins and furans, which need oxygen to be formed. Besides, the gases to be treated (proportionally in a small quantity) suffer a treatment process that prevents the synthesis of harmful molecules such as dioxins and furans. Regarding ash formation, it is avoided due to the high temperature levels of the work process. Thus, there is no toxic by-product, differently from what happens in the incineration process. What does happen is the transformation of particulate residuals (like ash) in iron or ceramic matrices, not being necessary the use of other disposal methods.
This is a waste dry-distillation process, with absence of air and without waste combustion, which allows the extreme reduction of the quantity of exhausted gases, when compared to conventional processes.

High blood pressure (BP) is linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. High BP has been defined as any number larger than 140 to 160 /90 to 100 mmHg and as a result this range of BPs has become the standard blood pressure target for physicians and patients. Over the last five years a trend toward lower targets has been recommended by hypertension experts who set treatment guidelines. This trend is based on the assumption that the use of drugs to bring the BP lower than140/90 mmHg will reduce heart attack and stroke similar to that seen in some population studies. However, this approach is not proven.
This review was performed to find and assess all trials designed to answer whether lower blood pressure targets are better than standard blood pressure targets. Data from 7 trials in over 22,000 people were analysed. Using more drugs in the lower target groups did achieve modestly lower blood pressures. However, this strategy did not prolong survival or reduce stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure. More trials are needed, but at present there is no evidence to support aiming for a blood pressure target lower than 140/90 mmHg in any hypertensive patient.

Effect of Annealing Temperature on the Optical and Structural Properties of Ge Doped ZnO Films
Ge doped ZnO films were synthesized on silicon substrate via RF magnetron co-sputtering methods. The effects of annealing temperature on the optical and structural properties of the Ge doped ZnO films were investigated by means of photoluminescence spectra, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. The ultra-violet emission should be related with the free-exciton recombination, and blue and yellow emissions should be attributed to the defect state caused by Ge. The varieties of annealing temperature affect greatly the optical properties. The high annealing temperature leads to the oxidation of Ge and the formation of Zn2GeO4, which could lead to the change of PL spectra.

Ohio gamer pleads guilty in deadly Kansas 'swatting' case
An Ohio gamer has pleaded guilty to asking a prankster to make a
Nineteen-year-old Casey Viner of North College Hill, Ohio, changed his plea Wednesday to guilty on charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice. He's accused of trying to hide his involvement. Sentencing for Viner has been scheduled for June 26.
Viner became upset while playing Call of Duty: WWII online with 20-year-old Shane Gaskill of Wichita. Prosecutors say Viner then asked Tyler Barriss of Los Angeles to "swat" Gaskill. Police responding to the call shot the unarmed man, Andrew Finch, when he came to the door.
Swatting is sometimes used by gamers to send first responders to an opponent's address.
Barriss was sentenced last week to 20 years. Gaskill's trial is April 23.
The government says it will recommend two years' probation as a sentence for Viner. In court Wednesday, he agreed he did a factory reset on his phone to try to delete any evidence he was involved in the swatting.
Part of Viner's plea agreement is not to play any online games and not to go anywhere other than school, work or church. A judge would ultimately make the call regarding the conditions of Viner's probation.
Eyewitness News spoke with U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister after Wednesday's hearing and said there's a big difference between Barriss and Viner. McAllister says Barriss is a serial swatter while Viner made a bad choice one time.

Action and Adventure
Stories of a hero on a mission frequently fast-paced, action-packed, and set in exotic locales.
Keywords: Adventure, Spy, FBI agents, Assassins, Survival, Superheroes, Pirates, Spies, MI- 6, Adventure and adventurers — Fiction.
For each genre in this project I wrote a simple description and then brainstormed what I thought would be good keywords. I then selected books that seemed to be prime examples of the genre to see what keywords I could gather from their description in Destiny and on Novelist K-8.
One of my goals this year is to help my middle school students develop their skills in selecting books for reading. My plan is to genre sort the middle fiction portion of the library to help the students find more books they will enjoy reading. I asked the fifth grade students to take a survey about their interests to help me choose the genres I would focus on for the collection. Currently, I am working on checking all of the books for the Action and Adventure portion of the genre categories. I am using Destiny and Novelist k-8 to help me make my list of Action and Adventure books.
My limited amount of time towards the challenge makes me sad, 8 hours total. Finishing two books and starting on a third book makes me happy.
Hours reading = 7.5
Hours on internet doing twitter, Goodreads update, my blog=.5
Total hours on challenge = 8
Buddha in the Attic

This the first time I will be doing the challenge from my home in Shanghai. So I guess I will have to sneak into my work library tomorrow to checkout some books.

It is important to note that the Lexile measure of a book refers to its text difficulty only. A Lexile measure does not address the content or quality of the book. Lexile measures are based on two well-established predictors of how difficult a text is to comprehend: word frequency and sentence length. Many other factors affect the relationship between a reader and a book, including its content, the age and interests of the reader, and the design of the actual book. The Lexile measure is a good starting point in your book-selection process, but you should always consider these other factors when making a decision about which book to choose.
This a quote straight from www.lexile.com.
Things I love about Lexile:
- Quick computer based assessment
- Numeric reporting makes it easy to predict range of texts that students will comprehend
Things I hate about Lexile:
- Only tests two parts of reading: word frequency and sentence length
- People obsess on the number
- Not that many books have been measured (159,712 volumes)
Things I accept about Lexile:
- Lexile and its uses, misuses and abuses will be part of the library world for the foreseeable future
- Like any tool it is not the tool that is bad, it is how it used that makes it bad

course created awareness among our supervisory staff that trickled down to our college-aged counselors, especially the information about tipping points, what signs of distress to note, and the appropriate responses to MESH-related concerns.
First Class Supply director Steph Boulton said: "We have been working with health professionals in this area for some time now and we are pleased to be providing a nationally recognised mental health first aid programme, licenced by MHFA
England to our partner schools.
As a certified trainer, I and the 29 others who completed the program are now charged with teaching at least three eight-hour MHFA
courses within the next year to others in our communities.
King's Lynne was then built with support and financing provided by MHFA
and Corcoran Jennison was retained to manage the building process and the newly privatized community.
Virtually all the 439-plus properties under the jurisdiction of the MHFA
are managed by privately owned management companies selected by the developers, according to MHFA
spokesperson Martha Vaananen.
The CUSIP for the underlying MHFA

Cisco has continued its buying spree with the purchase of privately-held mobile telephony software company Orative for $31 million in cash.
Orative develops conferencing and collaboration software for mobile business users, and integrates those tools with users' existing communications systems. Cisco expects the transaction to close in the middle of next year.
This is Cisco's fourth acquisition in recent months. In August, it paid $50 million for 80 percent of data centre software developer Nuova Systems, and $92 million to acquire on-demand video company Arroyo Video Systems. In July, it bought security software vendor Meetinghouse for $43.7 million.

Police have been filmed pouring water over a barbecue after two people on a beach allegedly refused to leave during the coronavirus lockdown.
One yellow-jacketed officer can be seen tipping a helmet full of water onto the BBQ as a colleague watches on.
The incident appears to have taken place at Hove beach in Brighton, after Sussex Police tweeted on Saturday that two people had been “summonsed to attend court after breaching the Coronavirus Act 2020 by having a BBQ on Hove beach.”
The force added: “Thank you to everyone that stayed away from beauty spots and beaches today. We know it isn’t easy.”
People were warned over the weekend not to put lives at risk by visiting beaches, parks and other beauty spots during the warm weather.

Our national and provincial galleries need to show better leadership.
As Canadians, I believe that we have the collective responsibility to advance the current state of gender, race, sex, and cultural inequalities in our arts organizations. Please consider taking time over the coming week to write an email to your provincial galleries regarding this issue. The letters don’t have to be long, but we can take the opportunity to awakening our curators to the fact that so many of us are offended by the current status quo. Additionally, consider suggesting to curators names of the many talented, thought provoking, and underrepresented/under-celebrated Canadian artists who you would love to see exhibited and collected by these provincially and nationally funded galleries in the future. Please.
For more information, read this article from the current issue of Canadian Art.


Samsung J7 Prime Debuts in India
Samsung J7 Prime has quietly gone on sale in the Indian market for Rs. 18,790. Recently, we checked this information with a Mumbai based large retailer Mahesh Telecom. And they confirmed that the stock for the smartphone is already available for purchase.
Samsung has launched the smartphone on 19th September 2016 along with the Samsung J5 Prime.
The phone has an MRP of Rs. 19,400 but as per the retailer, it is available for Rs 18,790. Notably, the Samsung J7 Prime is the improved version of the Samsung J7 2016, launched in India in May 2016, priced at Rs. 15,990.
Notably, the J7 Prime comes with a fingerprint scanner embedded in the Home Button that was missing on the Samsung Galaxy J7 2016. Also, it comes with the S Bike Mode which sends automatic replies to incoming calls when you are driving a bike.
Key Spec and Details – Samsung J7 Prime
The internal storage on the Samsung J7 prime remains the same as the Samsung J7 2016 – both have 16 GB of internal storage. The storage is expandable to 256 GB using a micro-sd card. The Ram is increased from 2 GB to 3 GB.
Further, the phone is powered by a 1.6 GHz Octa-Core processor that is likely a Snapdragon 617 Chipset.
The Samsung J7 Prime comes with a 5.5 inch Full HD display (1920*1080) pixels with 401 PPI. Additionally, it also has the 2.5 D curved glass with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection to improve aesthetics and safety of the device.
Most of the other specs on the Samsung J7 Prime are similar to the Samsung J7 2016.
For photography, the J7 Prime has a 13-megapixel rear camera with led flash and auto-focus support. There is a decent 8 Megapixel wide angle front camera for clicking selfies. Both the cameras come with f /1.9 aperture lens to capture better images in low light conditions.
Furthermore, it comes with a micro USB port and does not have the futuristic USB Type C. Besides, the mobile has a thickness of 8.1 mm and is powered by a massive 3300 mAH battery capacity.
lastly, the J7 Prime comes with Dual Sim and 4G LTE support along with native connectivity options like 3G / 2G and WIFI.
In conclusion, it looks like a good option and much better compared to the Samsung J7 2016, but with a slightly higher price.

Unearthly by Cynthia Hand Book Review
Book Cover for Unearthly
Book Review of Unearthly by Cynthia Hand
Unearthly by Cynthia Hand is a fiction novel that is about supernatural beings living on the Earth. Clara is just a girl that has a vision. That is, a vision that was sent to her by God and tells her that she has a purpose to fulfill. Clara is an angel-blood. Her mother is half angel and she is one quarter angel. Each angel-blood has a purpose to complete that comes to them in a vision. When Clara receives her vision, her and her family must move to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Here Clara and her brother find people that are vastly different from those they knew in California. More importantly, Clara finds the boy that she sees in her vision, bringing her one step closer to fulfilling her purpose. Clara must discover what her vision really means, without jeopardizing her high school social life, her family relationships, and the life of the one she loves.
This book is a very good read. The characters are high school students and so it is an appropriate age range for the thoughts and actions of many of the characters. However, there are times when the actions of the characters do not fit in with their personalities. These occurrences are often dull aspects of the book and are unnecessary for the plot development. The book has character depth, great plot development, and will keep you guessing on what will happen next. I recommend this book to those interested in teen fantasy and romance novels. The teenage girls will love this one for sure!

CR struggles to set up system to monitor trains
Even after missing the June deadline, Central Railway authorities are still struggling with technicalities involved in installing the Train Management System (TMS) on Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST)-Kalyan stretch.
Railway authorities have been struggling with the mapping of the new fifth and sixth lines at Vidyavihar and the nearby yard.
Officials are trying to merge the existing two corridors and the new lines, with the TMS system.
Officials, however, claim that the main difficulty has been taken care of and that they are in process of procuring new indicators that can merge with the TMS system. There are other minor technical glitches that also have to be taken care of before it can be extended till Kalyan, officials added.
“We are in the final stages of starting the system and will introduce it soon,” said V Malegaonkar, chief PRO, Central Railway.
Sources said that even after installation, the system would take around four-six months to function smoothly. This system will ease travelling for commuters on CR because they will be able to see the precise time of a train’s arrival at the platform.
This system will also have an enhanced announcement system inside trains and will reduce the occurrences of wrong announcements made at platforms.
Commuters will also be informed of last-minute diversion at stations before hand. Officials monitoring the control room will know the exact location of a train at any given time.
Therefore, if a train as halted at a particular location because of technical errors such as a signal failure, the control room can quickly get in touch with the motorman and the stationmaster and get information.
“In such a situation, commuters will also be informed of the approximate time it would take to revive services,” said a senior CR official on condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to speak to the media.
A similar system was installed on the Western Railway in 2004, though the TMS on CR is advanced in nature.

|Ice got a bad rap.
Now it’s rapping back,

Ice got a bad rap,
conversationally people wanting to break the ice
instead of listening,
a lack of Arctic and Antarctic consciousness
wanting to break the ice
as if the frozen water was a problem
and now there is
some big-time ice-breaking,
but it is Mother Nature starting the conversation
because too many wouldn’t listen,
and now we have to listen!
“Russia sits on $8.5 trillion oil reserves.”
Polar Bear sits on a chunk of ice and it’s not a photo-op.
“The US, Canada, Denmark and Norway have their own claims...
The Arctic is believed to hold more than $22 trillion worth
of resources hidden beneath the ice,
including 90 billion barrels of oil and
47 trillion cubic meters of natural gas.”
“The Trump administration on Wednesday delivered
another major victory for Big Oil by quietly approving
a Texas company's plan to drill in federal Arctic waters
six miles off the coast of Alaska.”
Arctic waters aren’t really “federal”
and you can’t really “drill” water.
“Cooperating with each other is the only way to maintain safety
and regional order in the icy region. A coordinated regional approach
to Arctic governance under the framework of the Law of the
Sea Convention will build confidence and prevent militarization.
The time is right for the Arctic Council to turn into a
Cooperating with Mother Nature and the Original Peoples

“The Gwich’in people have relied on the Porcupine Caribou Herd

where they will give birth...
we must protect the special place for future generations,
so that all the animals that live and migrate to this area
will always be protected.” What the Gwich’in call the area
translates to “The Sacred Place Where Life Begins.”
There’s an old joke, the premise of which
is the comedian’s miserliness
(though actually a generous man),
Mugger: Your money or your life.
(long, awkward pause)
Mugger: Look bud. I said, your money or your life.
Jack Benny: I'm thinking it over!
Can you hear what’s being said in the ice-cracking?
(Odds are it’s not a joke.)
Can you see – instead of $ signs –
the sacredness of all Life?
Instead of measuring barrels and cubic meters,
can you feel

The Fuel Air Explosion Bomb (abbreviated FAEB) is an air-to-ground weapon featured in most Ace Combat games from Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies onwards. As evidenced by its name, it is a thermobaric weapon that spreads a highly flammable fuel over the impact area, which is ignited in a massive fireball upon impact.
Ace Combat 04: Shattered SkiesEdit
The FAEB is available exclusively to the F-15 ACTIVE for $286,000. The weapon is useful for taking out entire clusters of lightly armored targets, such as AA guns and tanks, since ground targets are present in larger groups than in future games. It's usefulness, however, is offset by the fact that the F-15 ACTIVE is limited to 8 FAEBs.
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung WarEdit
It is exclusive to the YA-10B, which carries 14 bombs.
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan WarEdit
- ADF-01 FALKEN: x08 bombs, $206,400.
- A-10A Thunderbolt II: x10 bombs, $19,400.
- X-29A: x04 bombs, $42,000.
- F-15S/MTD: x08 bombs. Comes with aircraft.
- Su-37 Terminator: x08 bombs.
Ace Combat 6: Fires of LiberationEdit
The FAEB in AC6 returns once again as an exclusive weapon of A-10A
Ace Combat X: Skies of DeceptionEdit
The Fuel-Air Explosive Bomb is first made available with the A-10A Thunderbolt II, which carries 10 bombs for $8,400. It is also one of the weapons compatible with the ADF-01 the YR-302 Fregata, the Su-37 Terminator and X-29A. It's large blast radius helps in missions heavy with ground targets, such as "Striking Point" and "Break In".

The truth behind Israel’s attack on Gaza Myths vs. Facts
Given the pervasive and one-sided Israeli narrative regarding “Operation Protective Edge,” Israel’s current assault on Gaza, AMP wishes to contextualize the issues in efforts to break through biased media reporting and Israeli propaganda. We hope this framework helps your discussions within your mosques, Islamic centers and with the media. The report is organized into two parts. Part I will be a list of brief talking points about Gaza. Part II will offer the historical and political context to the issue for those who want a deeper understanding.

Yotta is an online savings account that is 100% FREE! Your Funds are held with Evolve Bank & Trust which is FDIC insured for all you worry warts. Yotta combines savings with the lottery. Yes, you heard correctly, the freakin' lottery. But here’s the catch that's not actually a catch (think Sheepshead), if you fish you got that, if not, I'm this close to losing you, but you can’t lose! You win every time!
Check this, Yotta was founded to help Americans become more financially secure. According to the Federal Reserve, 40% of Americans can’t come up with $400 in an emergency but spend a mind boggling $80 billion on the lottery every year, which is the worst bet you can make. Yotta fixes this problem by making saving fun while giving you a chance to win big. Even in weeks where you don’t win a prize, your money still grows, instead of disappearing like in the lottery.
How it Works
Make a deposit: Every $25 saved gets you a recurring ticket into weekly number draws. For example, if you deposit $50 you get 2 tickets every week without needing to make new deposits. And, you can withdraw your funds any time up to 6x per month.
Pick your numbers: Every Monday, pick 7 numbers for each of your tickets, don't worry, if you don't make your picks, your tickets will be auto-picked.
Weekly drawings: Contests are weekly with one number drawn every night at 9pm EST. On Sunday, the 7th and final number is drawn and winnings for the week are determined.
Match numbers: The more numbers you match, the more money you win.
Match 7, win the $10 million dollar jackpot
Match 6, win a Tesla
Match 5, plus the Yotta ball (the Sunday number) win $5k
Match 5, win $1,500k
Match others and win as well
Match nothing, you still WIN a guaranteed .2% APR (Not the best rate but not the worst.
Total your earnings over a couple weeks/months/years and your rate can be higher than 4%, if you’re lucky. The more money you save the more tickets you get, which increases your odds of winning. I won $5 bucks one week, $10 bucks another, and a week high of $13. That being said, I opened my account about 2 months ago.
Want 100 FREE TICKETS?
Enter my referral code: RICHARD152 when/if you sign up and Yotta will deposit 100 free ticks to your account. Also, click HERE to learn more about Yotta and see if it’s right for you. It can't hurt to add an extra 100 tickets, that's a $2,500 dollar value for free! Well, you do have to sign up and at least deposit $25, but hey, still not bad.
One last thing, remember, this is a recurring drawing, you don't need to keep depositing $25 dollars a week to get a ticket. If you leave $25 in your account you will get 1 ticket every week. If you add money, you'll get multiple tickets a week.
Next on my list, T-Mobile Money. That’s right, the cell phone provider. WHaT!? Also FDIC insured with accounts held at Bank Mobile.
T-Mobile Money is an online checking account, I know I know, I said I would be reviewing savings accounts but bear with me, it earns you way more than a savings account does. Think about walking into a Chipotle and sayings "yes, I will pay the extra $1.95 for the guac". I'm talking guac money baby!
T-Mobile earns you 50x more than the average U.S. checking account. Some people earn 4% and everyone earns 1% on ALL balances which still Hulk crushes everything else out there, including High Yield Savings Accounts, which I also highly recommend. But wait, like every infomercial after 1am, there's more! The account includes:
No overdraft fees
No maintenance fees
No fees at Allpoint® ATMs (over 55k locations worldwide)
No minimum balance
How it Works
T-Mobile or Sprint wireless customers, yes Sprint, T-Mobile bought Sprint so they get to Pass Go too, can earn 4% ARP (these were the "some people" I was referring to). The Cristiano Ronaldo kicker is the 4% is ONLY on balances up to $3,000 (still isn't bad. $120 a year for doing nothing) and you have to be a T-Mobile or Sprint customer =(. What happens after $3k? You earn 1% on everything else. Hey Ya Outkast, that's still bonkers for a checking account!
What’s the catch? There is a minor one, or two...
Number one: You need to be a T-Mobile or Sprint customer, but only to earn the 4%. ANYONE can use this account to get 1% which still crushes any checking account I've ever seen. I can’t think of a savings account that beats it.
Number two: You need deposit a recurring $200 a month into the account to qualify for the 4%, but only for the 4%. You'll always get 1% no matter what (even if you are not a T-Mobile or Sprint customer and without the recurring $200 deposit). This can be a hassle but I solved the quadratic formula for you so you don't have to.
Automate the $200 from your primary checking account
Make this your primary checking account where your direct deposit comes straight to it
That’s it! 2 minor catches for 4% APR and 0 catches for 1%. The choice is yours!
I also pulled rates from BankRate.com to compare the above with current High Yield Savings Account. This is what I found as of 11/25/2020:
Citibank - 0.70% APY
Live Oak Bank - 0.70% APY
Vio Bank - 0.66% APY
PNC Bank - 0.65% APY
Popular Direct - 0.65% APY
CIBC Bank - 0.62% APY
Salem Five Direct - 0.61% APY
Ally Bank - 0.60% APY
American Express National Bank - 0.60% APY
Synchrony Bank - 0.60% APY
Pentagon Federal Credit Union - 0.60% APY
Comenity Direct - 0.60% APY
As you can see, for now, nothing comes close.

This page is about the meaning, origin and characteristic of the symbol, emblem, seal, sign, logo or flag: Chelsea F.C..
Since the club's foundation, Chelsea have had four main crests, though all underwent minor variations. In 1905, Chelsea adopted as their first crest the image of a Chelsea pensioner, which contributed to the "pensioner" nickname, and remained for the next half-century, though it never appeared on the shirts. As part of Ted Drake's modernisation of the club from 1952 onwards, he insisted that the pensioner badge be removed from the match day programme to change the club's image and that a new crest be adopted. As a stop-gap, a temporary emblem comprising simply the initials C.F.C. was adopted for one year. In 1953, Chelsea's crest was changed to an upright blue lion looking backwards and holding a staff, which was to endure for the next three decades. This crest was based on elements in the coat of arms of the Metropolitan Borough of Chelsea with the "lion rampant regardant" taken from the arms of then club president Viscount Chelsea and the staff from the Abbots of Westminster, former
In 1986, with Ken Bates now owner of the club, Chelsea's crest was changed again as part of another attempt to modernise and to capitalise on new marketing opportunities. The new badge featured a more naturalistic non-heraldic lion, in white and not blue, standing over the C.F.C. initials. It lasted for the next 19 years, with some modifications such as the use of different colours, including red from 1987 to 1995, and yellow from 1995 until 1999, before the white returned. With the new ownership of Roman Abramovich, and the club's centenary approaching, combined with demands from fans for the popular 1950s badge to be restored, it was decided that the crest should be changed again in 2005. The new crest was officially adopted for the start of the 2005–06 season and marked a return to the older design, used from 1953 to 1986, featuring a blue heraldic lion holding a staff. For the centenary season this was accompanied by the words '100 YEARS' and 'CENTENARY 2005–2006' on the top and bottom of the crest respectively.

A powerful earthquake rocked Morocco late Friday night, killing over 800 people and causing buildings to crumble across the Atlas Mountains to the ancient city of Marrakech.
The epicenter of the magnitude-6.8 quake struck the High Atlas Mountains around 2300 local time at a depth of about 11 miles, the United States Geological Survey stated in a preliminary report.
Millions across Marrakesh, Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, and several other cities felt the quake in the overnight hours.
USGS said the quake was the strongest in over a century:
Earthquakes of this size in the region are uncommon but not unexpected. Since 1900 there have been 9 M5 and larger earthquakes, none of which are over M6. Most of these events have occurred east of the September 8, 2023, earthquake.
Morocco’s state television, Al Aoula, reported that the death toll had risen to 820 on Saturday afternoon. Officials expect the number of deaths to continue climbing as rescue operations are underway.
Here’s footage of the destruction:

Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London, was quoted by NRP, who said:
“The problem is that where destructive earthquakes are rare, buildings are simply not constructed robustly enough to cope with strong ground shaking, so many collapse resulting in high casualties.
“I would expect the final death toll to climb into the thousands once more is known. As with any big quake, aftershocks are likely, which will lead to further casualties and hinder search and rescue.”
Leaders of G20 countries have offered Morocco support following the deadly quake.
French President Emmanuel Macron posted on X, “We are all shocked after the terrible earthquake in Morocco. France stands ready to help first aid responses.”
President Biden said he was “deeply saddened” by the quake: “We are working expeditiously to ensure American citizens in Morocco are safe, and stand ready to provide any necessary assistance for the Moroccan people.”
Morocco’s deadliest quake on record dates back to a magnitude 5.8 that struck Agadir in 1960 and killed about 12,000 people.

The Artichoke returns to the Howland
Storytelling is making a comeback at the Howland Cultural Center with the return of The Artichoke.
Hosted by Drew Prochaska, the series — which nearly always sold out — returns on Saturday (Nov. 14) as a livestream. The show will be performed before a small audience (the other storytellers and a few Howland staff members) and broadcast online, and also filmed and made available for a month to ticketholders.
Prochaska, who brought storytelling to the Howland in January 2019, is producing the show with John Blesso, a Beacon resident who, in addition to spinning a yarn, hosted his own storytelling nights at Dogwood and Oak Vino that are now on hiatus because of the pandemic shutdown.
Others on the Nov. 14 bill include Christian Finnegan, Michelle Carlo, Kambri Crews, Martin Dockery and Jim O’Grady.
Prochaska and Blesso met through Dogwood “and we hit it off and decided to space out our events so they didn’t conflict,” Blesso recalls. “Drew was deep into that world in the city. He got the very best from New York City to come to his shows. They also loved that Drew paid them, which is rare in the world of storytelling. Performers love it here.”
Prochaska has said he named his series The Artichoke as a metaphor for “performers who start out rough but blossom during the telling of their tale,” such as the bud, “a greyish green thistle with pointy leaves but a tender heart.”
Modeled after a storytelling series on National Public Radio called The Moth, performers present their tales extemporaneously in 10-minute blocks.
Blesso says he and Prochaska and other storytellers aren’t entirely comfortable telling stories on Zoom without any in-person spectators.
“Drew and I have both been invited to tell stories by Zoom, but being alone and telling your story to a wall feels edgy but not the good kind of performing edgy,” Blesso says. “I felt uncomfortable and anxious because I had no idea if what I was saying was landing. That’s why for us it was so important to do our livestream from an actual stage with all of the performers together in front of a socially distanced audience. We need that back-and-forth connection.”
Blesso moved to Beacon six years ago. He is a writer — he published a memoir in 2007 — and a landlord who renovated a mixed-use building in Brooklyn and a two-family house in Beacon.
He has been working on a second memoir for the past decade and that process turned him to storytelling, he says. “I was planning on publishing it in parts on Kindle, and I thought if I could turn some of the chapters into stories, it would help with the book,” he says. “That’s why I first began with storytelling.”
Blesso feels that some of the best stories are about mundane things.
“A lot of people think a good story has to involve armed conflict or beating cancer, or something like that, but that’s not true,” he says. “The story should have stakes and a beginning, middle, end. When I first started, there were so many things I didn’t properly respect about the form. I thought if you were a writer it would be like a major leaguer going to play softball, but they are different formats. The way that you write is not the way that people speak. If there’s not something that is actively advancing the action and supporting your story, you have to get rid of it. There may be things you think are compelling but don’t belong in the story.”
Asked what he would consider a great Beacon setting, he says: “I’m tempted to say Main Street. Somebody sets out to do something on Main, they run into somebody else and their day becomes very different.” A half-hour later, he provides more detail: “A great Beacon story would be getting dumped and then wanting nothing more than to console yourself on a Saturday morning with a Taylor ham-and-cheese from Mr. V’s, and then to meet the person who will become your next significant other while waiting in line…”
Tickets for the Nov. 14 livestream are $15 at theartichoke.ticketspice.com.

In the heartland of our society, where our sustenance takes root and grows, the practice of farming plays a pivotal role.
A critical component of successful farming involves the knowledgeable and careful use of fertilizers. Ensuring that our crops have the necessary nutrients to grow is an artful science, requiring a delicate balance between nature’s needs and human intervention.
It’s important to remember that the use of fertilizers is not just about boosting crop yields; it’s also about sustaining soil health and reducing the environmental impact of farming.
When used incorrectly, fertilizers can have adverse effects, such as contaminating groundwater or causing nutrient runoff into local water bodies. This makes understanding best practices for fertilizer use in farming crucial.
Section 1: Understanding Soil Health
Before delving into the specifics of fertilizer use, it’s important to grasp the significance of maintaining healthy soil. The condition of the soil largely determines how much and what type of fertilizer is needed.
Regular soil testing is recommended to understand the nutrient content, pH level, and other critical soil properties. This information can guide you in selecting the right type and amount of fertilizer to use.
Section 2: Choosing the Right Fertilizer
Not all fertilizers are created equal. They can differ in their nutrient composition and delivery methods. Some fertilizers may be high in nitrogen, beneficial for leafy growth, while others might have more phosphorus, which aids in root development.
Based on your soil test results and the crop you are growing, select a fertilizer that fills the nutrient gap.
Also, consider the delivery method. Granular fertilizers slowly release nutrients into the soil, while liquid fertilizers like foliage spray fertilizers provide nutrients directly to the plant’s leaves and are absorbed quickly.
Section 3: Applying Fertilizers Properly
The way fertilizers are applied can greatly impact their effectiveness and environmental implications. Here are some best practices:
1. Apply at the Right Time
Timing is critical when it comes to fertilizer application. Fertilizers should be applied when plants will get the most benefit. For most crops, this is at the start of the growing season when plants are developing roots and leaves.
2. Use the Right Amount
More is not always better. Over-application of fertilizers can lead to nutrient runoff and pollution of nearby water bodies. Use the recommended amounts based on your soil test results and the specific needs of your crop.
3. Even Distribution
To ensure all plants receive an equal amount of nutrients, it’s important to distribute the fertilizer evenly over your field. This is especially important when using a foliage spray fertilizer, as it directly feeds the leaves of your plants.
Section 4: Managing Fertilizer Runoff
Even with careful application, some amount of fertilizer runoff is inevitable, especially in regions with high rainfall. To minimize this, consider implementing farming practices that reduce runoff, such as contour plowing, buffer strips, and cover crops.
Section 5: Considering Organic Fertilizers
In addition to synthetic fertilizers, organic options like compost, manure, or bone meal can provide nutrients to your crops. These naturally derived fertilizers can also improve soil structure, promote beneficial soil microbes, and have less risk of nutrient runoff.
Section 6: Continual Monitoring and Adjustments
Fertilizer use is not a one-size-fits-all scenario. It requires continual monitoring of crop health, soil conditions, and weather patterns. Regular soil testing can help identify nutrient deficiencies or imbalances that can be adjusted in the next growing season.
Section 7: Exploring Precision Farming Techniques
With the advent of precision farming technologies, it’s possible to apply fertilizers more accurately and efficiently.
Tools such as GPS-guided spreaders and variable-rate technology allow for more precise fertilizer application, reducing waste and potential environmental impact.
Section 8: Understanding the Role of Micronutrients
While macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium often take center stage in fertilization plans, don’t overlook the importance of micronutrients like zinc, manganese, and iron.
Even though required in smaller amounts, these micronutrients play critical roles in plant health and development.
Section 9: Evaluating the Impact of Weather
Weather patterns significantly impact the efficacy of fertilizer use. For instance, heavy rain can wash away freshly applied fertilizers.
Conversely, drought conditions can impede nutrient uptake by plants. It’s crucial to factor in local weather conditions when planning your fertilization strategy.
Section 10: The Importance of a Balanced Nutrient Ratio
Applying the correct ratio of nutrients is key for plant health. An excess of one nutrient can inhibit the uptake of others, leading to deficiencies. For example, too much phosphorus can interfere with a plant’s ability to absorb zinc.
Section 11: Utilizing Foliage Spray Fertilizers
Foliage spray fertilizers are an excellent tool for giving crops a quick nutrient boost. They are particularly useful when rapid correction of nutrient deficiencies is needed. However, these should be used as a supplement to soil fertilization, not as a replacement.
Section 12: Emphasizing Sustainable Fertilizer Practices
Promoting sustainable farming practices goes hand in hand with responsible fertilizer use. This involves not only reducing nutrient runoff and promoting soil health but also considering the carbon footprint of fertilizer production.
By opting for locally produced or organic fertilizers, farmers can further reduce their environmental impact.
Section 13: Timing the Reapplication of Fertilizers
Determining when to reapply fertilizer is crucial for maintaining nutrient availability throughout the growing season. Over time, nutrients are consumed by crops or leached away by rainfall.
As such, farmers need to monitor plant health and soil nutrient levels to decide the optimal reapplication period.
Section 14: Training and Educating Farm Workers
It’s important to ensure all farm workers are properly trained in best practices for fertilizer use. This includes understanding the proper application techniques, safety measures, and environmental considerations.
Regular training sessions can help keep everyone updated and aligned with the farm’s fertilizer management strategies.
Section 15: Embracing Innovative Fertilizer Solutions
Lastly, keep an open mind toward innovative fertilizer solutions. This could include new types of slow-release fertilizers, precision agriculture technology, or even biofertilizers that enhance soil microbial activity.
These innovations could be game-changers in improving the efficiency and sustainability of fertilizer use.
In conclusion, the smart use of fertilizers in farming is a delicate balancing act, requiring ongoing education, careful planning, and responsible execution.
By taking steps to understand soil health, select the right type of fertilizer, employ proper application methods, and consider environmental impact, farmers can maximize crop yield while upholding sustainability.
In embracing this intelligent approach, we pave the way for a thriving agricultural future nourished by the wisdom of the past.

THE MUSLIM WORLD:
Part 1: Including The Searight Collection of Drawings and Prints and Material from The Drawings, Prints
and Drawings Department and The National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum
Spellings and Transliterations
The transliteration of Arabic, Persian and Turkish place and personal names is particularly difficult when dealing with writers and artists who transcribed names phonetically and variably. Except in titles and inscriptions, which have been transcribed literally, the widely accepted old British Museum system for Arabic transliteration, has generally been used, but without accents. (In certain cases, regional variations are adopted: eg. Jabal (mountain) is generally used, but Gabal is the form commonly found in Egyptian place names; in North African place names Sidi instead of the more widespread Sayyid (saint) is retained.) Turkish names and words are spelt according to the form nowadays adopted in Turkey, except where a Europeanised form has been established.
An important deviation from modern forms and spelling is in some well-known place names. In several cases the terms that were familiar to the writers and artists in this Catalogue have been used: for example, Persia for Iran; Mesopotamia for Iraq; Palestine or the Holy Land for Israel and Israeli Occupied Territory; Constantinople for Istanbul; Smyrna for Izmir; and so on. For the same reason, Near East is used in preference to Middle East, a term coined only in the early twentieth century. Orient or oriental refers to the area between North Africa and India, and does not include the Far East.
The changing boundaries and nomenclature of the countries in the area now called the Middle East have at times made accurate topographical cataloguing difficult. The terminology used is that generally recognised at the time of publication (1990).
The translation from the original print-based form of the catalogue to COMfiche has meant that a few features have been lost; smaller, super-scripted letters, italics, underlined and bold script now appear as normal type, and circumflex accents have been lost.
