‘Gateway to Adventure’
— Charlene Pulsonetti
Driving into Ramona, you can’t miss the majestic mountains surrounding the Valley of the Sun. Combine this with beautiful rolling hills, abundant wildlife and star-speckled nights, and it is easy to see why the Ramona Chamber of Commerce calls this town the “Gateway to Adventure.”
The Chamber’s new location at 1306 Main St., Ste. 103, is a source of information for those looking to start their next adventure — whether that means launching a new business, making the move to town or just visiting for the day.
“The Chamber acts as a central hub providing information to the public and representing local business at the state government level,” says Joe Stupar, the Chamber’s executive director. “All the Chamber’s efforts — from organizing events, providing important resources and training seminars, to promoting tourism and business — help unite our community as a whole.”
The Chamber strives to build a strong business community by hosting regular mixers, coffee meet-ups, workshops and ribbon cuttings that raise awareness of the fantastic services Ramona has to offer. For locals, finding a great business within minutes of their doorstep makes all the difference, especially when they want to avoid
having to drive down the hill.
Annual events, such as the Christmas Tree Lighting, Taste of Ramona, Open Studios Tour and more, bring the community together while helping fund the Chamber’s scholarship and grant programs that students and nonprofits rely on to succeed.
As advocates for the people and businesses that call Ramona home, the Chamber is staffed year-round by a team of dedicated employees, with oversight by a board of directors who are equally committed to making this a great place to work, stay and play.
The Chamber of Commerce Office and Visitor Center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and is closed for lunch from noon to 1 p.m.
The visitor center features a wealth of information on local activities, events and businesses to help make your trip to Ramona one to remember.
Located within an hour’s drive of the desert, the mountains and the ocean, Ramona is also an ideal place to set up base camp when exploring all San Diego County has to offer. After a day of exploring, what better way to relax than by returning to the countryside.
With trails, wineries and serene spaces around every corner — and a Chamber eager to help you discover them — Ramona is your “Gateway to Adventure,” no matter how you define it.

The decision yesterday (13 October) on fishing quotas for the Baltic Sea disregards the scientific advice for several fish stocks, notably cod. Environmental groups now criticise fisheries ministers for not following the EU’s new rules on sustainable fishing.
For the western cod stock, scientists had advised that the total commercial catches should be no more than 8793 tonnes in 2015, according to the principle of maximum sustainable yield (MSY) set out in article 2 of the new common fisheries policy. This is also what the European Commission proposed earlier this year.
But fisheries ministers yesterday decided to set the quota at 15900 tonnes, i.e. almost twice as much as the recommended levels that would be in line with catch rates demanded by the new EU legislation.
The introductory text of the new common fisheries policy says that achieving MSY catch rates later than 2015 “should be allowed only if achieving them by 2015 would seriously jeopardise the social and economic sustainability of the fishing fleets involved.” However, in its press release about the quotas the Council does not motivate why the social and economic sustainability of the Baltic Sea fishermen would be seriously jeopardised.
Furthermore, although 15900 tonnes means a slight reduction compared to the 2014 quota, the quota for 2015 would probably not lead to any reduction in actual catches. For the last few years, catch statistics show that fishermen have not been able to catch the entire quota of baltic cod.
For the eastern cod stock and for sprat, ministers also set larger quotas for 2015 than recommended by scientists.
The Fisheries Secretariat tweeted: “We would like to see the socio-economic arguments for continued overfishing in Baltic waters.”
Greenpeace issued a statement in which Saskia Richartz said: “It is a scandal that ministers are still endorsing overfishing on depleted stocks, including cod. This will only prolong the degradation of the environment and the socio-economic hardship of fishermen. In the coming days, ministers must at least confirm publicly that, when allocating national quotas, they will give priority to fishermen who catch fish most selectively and with the smallest environmental impact”
The decision shows that “EU decision makers are inclined to make ambitious agreements, but fail when it comes to needed action”, said Hanna Paulomäki, Oceana Baltic Sea project manager.

Use any Zapier integration to connect QuickBooks Online to hundreds of other apps. The scoring formulas take into account multiple data points for each financial product and service. Offers four plans to accommodate a range of businesses with different needs; each plan limits the number of users, though. Many or all of the products featured here are from our partners who compensate us. This influences which products we write about and where and how the product appears on a page.
Manual data entry is not only tedious and time-consuming but also opens the door to human error that creates inaccuracies or redundancies in your books. The user pays a monthly subscription fee rather than an upfront fee and accesses the software exclusively through a secure logon via a Web browser. Intuit provides patches, and regularly upgrades the software automatically, but also includes pop-up ads within the application for additional paid services.
If you take this approach, you may find that a feature you need hasn’t been activated, or that you need to connect your bank accounts and set up a payment processor. The best course is to explore the Account and Settings area first, which has a series of tabs for Company, Billing & Subscription, Usage, Sales, Expenses, Payments, Time, and Advanced. Quickbooks Online offers integration with other third-party software and financial services, such as banks, payroll companies, and expense management software. To conclude, the limitations of QuickBooks Online can be potentially more costly over time. You don’t have to pay for upgraded versions or buy multiple licenses with QBO, but it can cost more than simply buying the Desktop version (a one-time purchase, rather than a regular monthly subscription). The software is not for beginners because there’s a learning curve that requires your patience and time, and you might feel confused at the interface at first.
This is important to note since you’ll want to make sure that it is capable of doing what you need in a manner that you understand and can digest. While QuickBooks Online is very popular among business owners, some have problems with the system. Problems stem from the complexity of making simple fixes, such as miscategorizations or duplicate entries. Support is limited, so users are left reading help articles rather than getting a live person to help. To find additional sales information, you click Get Paid & Pay in the navigation toolbar. There are several entries here that take you to various sections of the site, like Customers, Invoices, Estimates, and Products & services.

You might see one of the following errors when you try to connect Tableau to your QuickBooks Online data. For the QuickBooks Online transactions tables , join + + in the Sales and Expenses Line Items table to the equivalent fields in the transactions table. For example, if you create a join with the Bill transactions table, the field to join on for Bill is [ Bill]; the field to join on for Bill is [Line ID ], and so on. Using the Sales and Expenses Line Items table, you can join the Account and transactions tables with it to get the detailed information you need for the report you want to create. If this happens, follow the prompts to get a code to confirm your Intuit account. QuickBooks Online doesn’t support retrieving the Inventory Adjustment transactions.

Construction begins on new £20 million production facility
3 Minute Read
I’Anson Brothers Ltd. has begun work to construct a new £20m production facility, the largest investment in its 120-year history.
Work to construct the access road for the mill at Dalton New Bridge, the next phase of the Dalton Industrial Estate in North Yorkshire, has commenced after Hambleton District Council planning committee gave unanimous approval for the project earlier this year. The road construction contract has been awarded to the HACS construction group of nearby Harrogate.
The ultramodern facility has been designed to be as energy efficient as possible and will be one of the most technologically advanced feed mills in Europe. The increased production capacity will complement the firm’s existing plant at Masham and enable it to meet growing demand from existing customers, secure new orders, expand its export operations and continue to be a major supplier to the agriculture sector.
I’Anson currently employs 90 people from the local community and this latest investment will maintain the existing workforce and also create additional jobs at the new production facility with more expected to follow as the company grows in the future.
Chairman and Managing Director Chris I’Anson said today:
“We are delighted to have begun work on what represents a significant milestone in the history of the business and a continuation of our commitment to North Yorkshire.
This is a fitting way to celebrate our 120th anniversary as a business and as the single biggest investment in our history, lays down a marker for our ambition and future growth as a proud Yorkshire firm, exporter and employer.
Leader of Hambleton District Council, Cllr Mark Robson, commented:
“Having one of the most advanced feed mills in Europe based in Hambleton – on an expanding Dalton estate – is great news for the district.
Not only will it bring with it new jobs, it will also boost our local economy. Dalton Industrial Estate is an ideal location with its great transport links and access to world class businesses.
Construction of the mill itself is expected to last for 18 months, with completion and commissioning scheduled for the autumn of 2022.
Founded in Masham in 1900, I’Anson has grown to become a leader in the production of animal feeds and has been based at its current mill for the past six decades. It supports many customers regionally, nationally and internationally, exporting its specialist horse feed products to around 40 countries worldwide.
The business’s headquarters will remain in Masham, where it will continue to manufacture an extensive range of micronized feeds, specialty rations and horse feeds. The new facility will focus on the production of bulk farm feeds.

CHARLOTTE — Although one of the most outspoken members of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education has decided not to run again this year, Jennifer De La Jara isn’t ruling out another run for political office.
Last January, De La Jara announced she would not run for re-election after first joining the board in 2019.
Ahead of her last school board meeting at the end of December, education reporter Jonathan Lowe joined De La Jara at an Uptown restaurant owned by her and her husband.
During her four-year term, De La Jara was influential in many major decisions, from shutting down schools and enforcing remote learning during the pandemic to being involved in debates about book bans and issues surrounding LGBTQ+ students.
“Sometimes there are real reasons why school board members need to push back, and maybe vote no, or maybe offer amendments, and I think that that’s important work that needs to continue to happen,” De La Jara said, “I’m proud to have been part, particularly this past year to offer some thoughtful amendments because the public responds to that’s what we needed from our public officials.”
>>>In the video at the top of the story, De La Jara looks back at her time on the school board and looks forward to her next political endeavor.

We investigated the effect of the number of oxyethylene groups (polymer molecular weight) and the interchain binding and/or entanglements of methoxy-terminated-poly(ethylene glycol) (m-PEG) brushes on their ability to adsorb to living malignant melanoma B16F10 cells. We used the atomic force microscope colloid probe method to determine the adhering ability of the m-PEG brushes to the cells, as the magnitude of the adhesion force between the m-PEG modified particles and the living cells in a physiological buffer was related to the binding strength of the m-PEGs to the cells. We saw that m-PEG brushes (average molecular weights 330, 1900, and 5000g/mol), which were chemically attached to silica particles, may bind to living B16F10 cells. The binding of m-PEGs to living B16F10 cells increased as the oxyethylene chain length of the m-PEGs increased, if the m-PEGs had a low degree of entanglements or little inter-m-PEG chain binding. A high degree of entanglements or interchain binding decreased the ability of an m-PEG chain to bind to a living cell. The effect of m-PEG (molecular weight 1900g/mol) being present at cell surfaces for 24h was also seen not to induce the death of the cells or affect their growth.

To metastasize, a tumor cell must acquire abilities such as the capacity to colonize new tissue and evade immune surveillance. Recent evidence suggests that microRNAs can promote the evolution of malignant behaviors by regulating multiple targets. We performed a microRNA analysis of human melanoma, a highly invasive cancer, and found that miR-30b/30d upregulation correlates with stage, metastatic potential, shorter time to recurrence, and reduced overall survival. Ectopic expression of miR-30b/30d promoted the metastatic behavior of melanoma cells by directly targeting the GalNAc transferase GALNT7, resulted in increased synthesis of the immunosuppressive cytokine IL-10, and reduced immune cell activation and recruitment. These data support a key role of miR-30b/30d and GalNAc transferases in metastasis, by simultaneously promoting cellular invasion and immunosuppression.

It has been recently reported that treatment with an anti-placenta growth factor (PlGF) antibody inhibits metastasis and primary tumor growth. Here we show that, although anti-PlGF treatment inhibited wound healing, extravasation of B16F10 cells, and growth of a tumor engineered to overexpress the PlGF receptor (VEGFR-1), neutralization of PlGF using four novel blocking antibodies had no significant effect on tumor angiogenesis in 15 models. Also, genetic ablation of the tyrosine kinase domain of VEGFR-1 in the host did not result in growth inhibition of the anti-VEGF-A sensitive or resistant tumors tested. Furthermore, combination of anti-PlGF with anti-VEGF-A antibodies did not result in greater antitumor efficacy than anti-VEGF-A monotherapy. In conclusion, our data argue against an important role of PlGF during primary tumor growth in most models and suggest that clinical evaluation of anti-PlGF antibodies may be challenging.

We investigated the effect of the charge and the hydrophobicity of drug delivery system (DDS) carriers on their specificity to living malignant melanoma B16F10 cells with the atomic force microscope. To model various nanoparticle DDS carriers, we used silica particles that were modified with silane coupling agents. We then measured the compression and decompression forces between the modified colloid probes and the living B16F10 cell in a physiological buffer as a function of their separation distances. The maximum adhesive force on decompression was related to the strength of the specificity of the DDS to the malignant cell. A comparison of the average maximum adhesive force of each functionality group surprisingly showed that negatively charged surfaces and hydrophobic modified surfaces all had similar low values. Additionally, we saw the unexpected result that there was no observable dependence on the degree of hydrophobicity of the probe surface to a B16F10 cell. Only the positively charged particle gave a strong adhesive force with the B16F10 cell. This indicated that DDS carriers with positive charges appeared to have the highest affinity for malignant melanoma cells and that the use of hydrophobic materials unexpectedly did not improve their affinity.

Islamabad March 19 2023: As per the latest data released by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), Pakistan Petroleum imports witnessed a decrease of 8.2 percent with quantum of USD 11,876 million during the first eight months of the fiscal year 2023 due to economic slowdown and record high local oil prices.
The decline in Petroleum imports is witnessed due to 14.5 percent YoY decline in petroleum products and 17.2 percent decline in Liquified Natural Gas imports.
Petrol and High Speed Diesel prices increased by 69.8 percent and 81.4 percent to PKR 272.9 a liter and PKR 280.9 a liter during the last week of February, according to data compiled by PBS.
However, in February 2023, Petroleum imports increased by 1 percent YoY to USD 1,264 million due to higher petroleum prices, while it is down by 4.6 percent compared to January 2023.
The decline in imports on year on year basis due to a decline in quantity of petroleum products. However, Crude oil volumes increased by 5.9 percent, respectively.
During February 2023 volumetric imports of petroleum products decreased by 13.9 percent to 689 thousand tons.
Petroleum product imports during first eight months of fiscal year 2023 decreased by 14.5 percent to USD 5,352 million, 33 percent lower volumetric imports were the reasons behind this decrease.
Crude oil imports during the same period increased by 10.3 percent to USD 3,438 million. Higher prices was the main reasons behind this increase, however volumes decreased by 11.3 percent to USD 5,170 thousand tons.
Country imported Liquified Natural Gas of worth USD 2,550 million in February 2023, which is 17.2 percent lower when compared with the imports during the same month last year. However, Liquified Petroleum Gas imports increased by 8.2 percent during February 2023 to USD 489 million.


Forget Holiday Crowds: Practical Tips To Reduce Your Cell Phone Costs
Published 4:13 pm, Monday, December 31, 2012
There is a high chance that every single person you know has a cell phone. Even grandparents and great grandparents are commonly equipped with these useful devices. In today's world, peoples' entire schedules revolve around their mobile phones so losing it or breaking it can throw some rusty wrenches into the gears of productivity. A day or even an entire week without a cell phone can create serious problems, so it is advised to always have a spare charged and ready to go. Owning multiple phones on contract (especially smartphones) can get expensive very quickly. To combat this, wireless providers like T-Mobile, AT&T, and Virgin Mobile are selling pre-paid cell phone plans that don't require a contract. Instead of buying two or more expensive smartphones, customers can opt to buy one or two cheap cell phones as backup.
Backup cell phones are also a great safety measure to keep around the house. While some households are ripe with aged mobile phone technology, others are forced to turn in their old phones once they upgrade to new ones. Here are a few creative ways to obtain discounted cell phones to keep around the house as backups in case one is lost or damaged beyond repair.
Refurbished Phones: Refurbished phone dealers specialize in repairing floor model devices and slightly damaged phones into working condition. A few cosmetic flaws may be visible but what matters here is functionality. The fact that they have been broken in a past life is what drives the price down and makes them more affordable than buying from the major electronic stores. Refurbished dealers also have an expansive collection of cell phone models so it is very likely that you can find a similar model to your current device. If your phone has a SIM card then you can easily switch your contacts and data over to the phone. That is in a best-case scenario, where you have not lost your phone completely. Similar refurbished devices are also ideal because they do not require the purchase of a car charger or wall charger and the transition difficulty is minimal. Busy business people should keep a refurbished phone handy just in case their primary is lost before a flight across the country for an important pitch or meeting.
Online Stores / Auctions: The Black Friday crowd can be a relentless and unforgiving one, but luckily for shoppers there is now Cyber Monday, which offers the same and even some better deals from the comfort of your very own home. Cyber Monday is the biggest day of the year for ecommerce giants like Amazon , Ebay and NewEgg, and can reward vigilant shoppers with some great prices. Outside of Black Friday, eBay can be a useful method for finding phones at a bargain. Often times, consumers are left with extra phones from two-for-one deals that they never plan on using so they are sold at a discounted rate. Duplicate Christmas presents are also frequently resold through the massive online marketplaces. With some dedicated research and a little vigilance, you can find yourself a reliable backup phone at a much cheaper price than retail through either of these methods.

Campaigners have called on Scottish councils to spend more on local businesses as study reveals less than a fifth of their procurement budget goes on SMEs.
The Federation for Small Businesses (FSB) warned – quoting statistics collated by the Improvement Service - the average Scottish council spent only 19.7% of their procurement budget with small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in their area in 2015/16.
The data shows there’s variation across councils in relation to procurement spend. West Dunbartonshire council delivers just 5.8% of their budget with local firms, but Shetland Islands council uses more than half (53.6%) of its spending power boosting the local economy.
FSB said it understood why smaller councils were likely to have lower levels of local procurement. But it highlights that all of Scotland’s city councils, with the exception of Aberdeen, spent less than one pound in four with local SMEs.
‘Council budgets are under significant pressure. That’s why it is important that they squeeze every drop of value out of their spending power by targeting it on their local economies,’ Andy Willox, FSB’s Scottish policy convenor.
‘We’re calling on every Scottish council to increase their spending with local firms by two per cent per year, delivering a £600m boost to Scottish business by 2021.’
Scotland’s 32 local authorities spend over £6.1bn a year procuring goods and services. There are 348,000 SMEs operating in Scotland – accounting for 99.3% of all businesses and providing an estimated 1.2 million jobs.

Dalton police smash in door for wrong house during search
The Dalton Police Department is responding after forcing their way into the wrong home. Hear what those homeowners are saying about the mix-up.
UPDATE: Justin Faulknor is always going to remember what happened at his home on Tuesday night while he was relaxing with his wife after work.
"Is this real? Or is this really what they are doing?" said Faulknor.
Two nights ago Dalton PD was attempting to arrest a man by the name of Eric Ashton who is accused of selling drugs and lives at 1150 Whittle Drive, but they ended up going to the wrong house, two doors down.
"Once they entered the house they were able to determine by the people who lived there, that they were at the wrong location," said Jason Parker, Chief of Police, Dalton Police Department.
Because detectives made a mistake, the door to this home now sits in front of this house until it is disposed of. Faulknor and his wife now have to use this temporary door, the police department has promised to replace it.
"We've made arrangements with the residents there to replace that door right away," said Parker.
Though Faulknor says he was frightened, he says he understands the cops were just doing their job. Dalton PD apologized to Faulknor.
Thursday the chief of police told Channel 3 they are conducting an internal investigation to see if his detectives followed all the procedures when executing a search warrant. The chief tells Channel 3 some of those procedures include identifying the location, and pre-operation briefings.
“Will be reviewing that particular policy and procedure and measuring that against the actions of detectives, to see what may have led to this mistake," said Parker.
Eric Ashton the guy cops were looking for on Tuesday night was taken to jail Thursday morning. He is charged with two counts of selling marijuana, one count of possession of methamphetamine, one count of possession of marijuana, and one count of possession of tools for commission of a crime. Those detectives who executed that search warrant are still on the clock as of Thursday night.
PREVIOUS STORY: After a search warrant was served, the Dalton Police Department is in the process of reviewing how detectives went to the wrong house late Tuesday night.
Police were attempting to serve the search warrant, and two arrest warrants for Eric Ashton of 1150 Whittle Drive in Dalton.
In a news release, the Dalton Police Department says that drug investigators drug had previously purchased marijuana from Ashton on two separate occasions during an undercover operations.
Detectives spotted the suspect's vehicle in the driveway, and returned later Tuesday night to serve the warrants.
When they returned, detectives mistakenly approached the residence at 1138 Whittle Drive, which police say is nearly identical to the target house at 1150 Whittle Drive.
When no one answered the door, police waited several minutes and then smashed the door in using a battering ram.
Once inside, they learned they were in the wrong house.
Detectives apologized to the residents and the department has repaired damage caused to the residence's front door. A door matching the original door has been ordered and will be installed at the residence.
Nobody was hurt in the incident.
Ashton was later taken into custody Thursday morning on the two arrest warrants without incident.
He has been charged with two counts of selling marijuana, one count of possession of methamphetamine, one count of possession of marijuana, and one count of possession of tools for commission of a crime VGCSA (violation of Georgia Controlled Substances Act).
The Dalton Police Department says they have “policies and procedures in place to guide officers and detectives in conducting raids and executing search warrants. Officials are currently conducting a review of this incident to determine what procedural errors, if any, may have taken place and ensure that this type of mistake does not happen again.”

On Valentine’s Day, what could be more fitting than recalling the magic of the most romantic places you’ve ever been? We all have a different list, but here are my top five:
The Taj Mahal, Agra, India
“A story of eternal love and friendship such as the world has never known before, lies shrouded in the mists of history. Much of that story has been forgotten and become blurred in the memory of men, but it has left behind a symbol of such rare beauty and unwavering devotion that it can never be forgotten. That symbol is the Taj Mahal.” – Mantoshe Singh
The Taj Mahal, the breathtakingly beautiful monument to the love of Shah Jahan for his wife Mumtaz, is a wondrous site to behold. Yes, it may be crowded, and yes, at certain times of the year, such as in August when I went, it will be scorchingly hot. But seeing it with your own eyes is an experience of a lifetime.
See it at dawn, when the early light transforms the marble into shades of petal pink. At noon, the marble appears pearl white beneath the blazing sun. In the evening, darkness unfolds, casting silver shadows over the walls while delicate moonbeams dance overhead.
Aït Benhaddou, Morocco
Not far from ouarzazate, a honey-colored kasbah called Aït Benhaddou rises from the shimmering sand, resembling a palace out of the Arabian Nights.
Here, ancient camel caravans once plied the lonely road to the desert.
Park your car, your camel, or your donkey. Cross the shallow, reed-strewn river as the sun rises high in the sky, painting the landscape in the muted shades of the desert – salmon, dusty pink and tawny gold. The kasbah’s chaotic jumble of red-ochre dwellings seems to spill down the rocky bluff, coming to rest at the village’s outer walls.
Climb the narrow, rutted stairs to the turreted rooftops, where you can view the sun-kissed fields that stretch for miles to the desert beyond. high upon your turret, it’s not hard to daydream of the caliphs and sultans of the past, of veiled princesses and of the deeds of conquering tribes.
Down below in the alley, a man in a sapphire-blue robe leads his camel into the shadows. He dismounts and embraces a slender, dark-eyed woman. Reluctant to let go, they look around anxiously – then steal a lingering kiss in the dark.
The silence of the empty alleyway whispers of stolen kisses and secrets hidden amongst these ancient walls. A place for romantics, most definitely.
The Alhambra Palace, Granada, Spain
“It absolutely appears to me like a dream; or as if I am spellbound in some fairy palace.” – Washington Irving
Here, in this Moorish realm of legends and dreams, I sought refuge from a summer storm in the magnificent royal garden of the The Palacio de Generalife, once the summer palace and country estate of the Nasrid sultans of Granada.
On the Patio of the Sultana, I sheltered in the shadow of an ancient brick doorway. Gazing at the garden, an old, dead tree caught my eye. Held steady by an iron brace, I realized it is the Cypress tree where the Sultan’s wife, Sultana Zoraya hid, waiting for her lover. I wondered – how many people had sheltered here before me? So many people had lived and loved and dreamed here, in this garden meant for romance.
Sweetheart Abbey, New Abbey, Scotland
This beautiful Cistercian Abbey, just 8 miles south of Dumfries, was one of my favorite stops on a recent trip to Scotland.
The caretaker, an elderly gentleman with snow white hair, took some time to tell us a romantic tale.
Sweetheart Abbey was founded in 1273, he said, by Lady Devorgilla of Galloway, daughter of Alan, Lord of Galloway, in memory of her husband John de Balliol.
When her husband died, she had his heart embalmed and placed in a casket made of ivory and silver. She carried his heart with her everywhere, and, upon her death, she was laid to rest in front of the Abbey church’s high altar, holding her husband’s heart close to her own.
This graceful ruin is a peaceful place, lush and green and quiet. A perfect place to share with someone special.
Burns Country, Scotland
“O my Luve’s like a red, red rose, That’s newly sprung in June: O my Luve’s like the melodie, That’s sweetly play’d in tune.” – Robert Burns
It’s only fitting to include Burns country, Scotland, on my list, on this very romantic day. Visitors can follow in Burns’ footsteps from the humble cottage in Alloway where he was born to the medieval Brig O’Doon, setting for the climax of his famous tale, Tam O’Shanter. Then drive along the coast and settle down for a pint in the Globe, Burns’ favorite howff (pub) in Dumfries, the city where he spent his last years.

Autumn climate and phenology easy to induce allergic rhinitis — people.com.cn Health Channel – people.com.cn original title: autumn climate and phenology easy to induce allergic rhinitis after autumn, increase the pollen index forecast meteorological weather forecast program, attracting a lot of pollen allergy patients, among them, mostly in patients with allergic rhinitis. That day, when I was on duty, I received a phone call from a patient. Patient surnamed Chen, is a female lawyer, voice and tone are more comfortable. Ms. Chen is the first to thank our weather forecast, "pollen index" let her do have the pollen allergic patients before the trip. I also said a cliche: "this is what we should do." Then Ms. Chen told me that a few days ago went to a hospital, this is ready to look at rhinitis, but found too many patients in the consulting room. "Why are there so many patients? Rhinitis and climate is also a relationship?" Ms. Chen throws a problem. I replied, "yes, allergic rhinitis has a lot to do with the weather. A year after the beginning of autumn, the Department of ENT of the hospital admissions to a large number of rhinitis patients, about 80% of these patients are suffering from allergic rhinitis autumn pollen. Patients with complex symptoms, mainly nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes nose and large water, even cough. Severe cases of secondary infection (the course of disease will be greatly extended); a small number of patients may also be transformed into perennial rhinitis, in the case of hot or cold or stimulating odor will occur." "That’s a good idea. I didn’t expect you to be a health care professional." Ms. Chen gave me a verbal praise, but then, the question came again: "why is prone to allergic rhinitis pollen in autumn?" I told Ms. Chen, this is from the autumn climate and phenological characteristics. Because these two are my specialty, so it is very natural and easy to talk about it: "as everyone knows, the climate characteristics of autumn is be neither hot nor cold, the sky was clear, but the air is dry, the wind speed is larger. From the perspective of phenology, autumn is the season of crop maturity, but also a lot of herbaceous pollen pollination season. Dry air, greater wind speed, as well as a large number of plant pollen, including allergic rhinitis, including some allergic diseases, with the minimum conditions. In our country, the main cause of allergy rhinitis autumn plant has two kinds: one is the grass, one is the growth of ragweed wormwood is the most extensive area. From the beginning of autumn, the grass seeds with pollen spread in the air in the vicinity, with suitable weather conditions, it is easy to move pollen fly. In the process of migration, pollen, such as exposure to allergic constitution, it is easy to induce allergic rhinitis. In general, the pollen can be sensitized must have antigenicity, no antigenic pollen will not cause hay fever. But in recent years, the study found that due to the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the atmospheric concentration of dust, sulfur dioxide and other harmful substances, can cause the protein structure of pollen surface variation, make originally not pollen antigen makes people produce allergic reactions. This may be one of the main reasons for the significant increase in the incidence of allergic rhinitis of pollen in recent years (especially in industrial and mining cities)." "Oh, yes, we have a lot of smelting and chemical factories in this city."

The 20th Visa Pour L’Image, Perpignan, France
You often hears talk amongst photographers asking who’s going to Visa or Perpignan. This talk refers to Visa Pour L’Image which is an annual festival of photojournalism, which takes place in Perpignan in the south of France.
This year’s festival, the 20th, will run from the 30th of August until the 14th of September. During this two week period there will be some 30 exhibitions dotted around the beautiful city; the venues are very interesting in themselves – there is a convent and even a prison.
The professional week runs from the 1st to the 7th of September. This is open to professional photographers, newspaper and agency photographic staff and apart from the above exhibitions it incorporates talks and presentations, evening screenings (on a huge outdoor screen – this is also open to the public), a chance to show projects and portfolios to the agencies present and generally network.
This year will be the fifth time I’ll be attending the festival. If you’ve never been, take a week off and check it out. You’ll see some great work exhibited and if you’re a professional, getting accreditation will open up a whole lot more. The talks and presentations are given by photographers at the top of their game and its an ideal and unique opportunity to see the world’s picture editors all under one roof.
To top this off, the town is beautiful with some great restaurants. The social scene is one of the great things about the festival too. Just check out the Cafe de Post near the Castillet and you’ll see photographers and editors drinking and chatting the night away ’till the very early hours.
One tip – book your accommodation now as the town gets packed during the professional week.

Can travellers leave Canada before their 14-day quarantine period?
Travellers to Canada may be allowed to leave before the end of their 14-day quarantine period, but they are required to stay in quarantine until they travel.
Anyone traveling to Canada is required by law to quarantine themselves for a period of 14 days. This includes Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and is in effect as part of a measure to curb the spread of COVID-19.
According to an email sent to CTV News from a representative for the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), travellers may leave before the end of the two weeks if they remain in quarantine until they leave the country.
All travellers are required to have a quarantine plan. This plan must show how they intend to quarantine for 14 days when they arrive in Canada, and must detail how they will obtain essential items such as groceries or medicine during their quarantine period.
“If they don’t have a plan nor the intention to stay for 14 days, they should not travel to Canada as they may not be allowed to enter the country,” the email said.
Those who exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 may be turned away at the Canadian border, even if they are exempt from Canada’s travel restrictions.
However, this does not apply to Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and persons registered under the Indian Act. According to the PHAC website, they “may enter Canada by right and don’t need an exemption to border restrictions.”
Immediate family members of Canadian citizens and permanent residents who wish to come to Canada and stay less than 15 days must have a non-discretionary reason.
In some cases, the federal government may grant travellers in quarantine limited release for compassionate reasons, such as attending a funeral or a loved one’s final moments. However, these travellers must receive approval for the limited release, before travelling.
For travellers who wish to leave Canada before the end of their 14 day quarantine, but are showing COVID-19 symptoms, they must wait until they are asymptomatic, or hold a medical certificate that shows a negative COVID-19 result.
What does it mean to 'quarantine'?
All travellers to Canada who are granted entry must quarantine for 14 days. Failing to follow this procedure may result in six months in prison, or up to CAD $750,000 in fines.
Travellers must stay in their place of quarantine and self-isolate. They must have a plan to access necessary items, such as groceries, food and medicine, without leaving. They must also not use any common areas. In addition, they are not allowed to welcome guests, even if they stay two metres apart.
Those who are in quarantine may only leave if they had a medical emergency or if they had received pre-approval prior to travelling to Canada.
If travellers live with others, they must have their own bedroom and their own bathroom. They must also have limited interactions with people they live with, keep their distance, and clean common areas after every use. If they intend on having close contact, not wearing a mask and not practicing physical distancing with other members of the household, then other household members must also quarantine.

“Blistering sores so painful, I can’t even wear a shirt because it rubs against the affected area on my chest and midriff” is how my uncle described his recent case of shingles. Caused by the same virus as the chickenpox, shingles is a condition that typically affects older adults and involves a rash or blisters on the skin.
According to the CDC, symptoms of shingles often start with a tingling or itchy feeling under the skin, fever, chills and a headache. Then, a rash may appear around the waistline, face or body trunk. This rash eventually turns into painful, fluid-filled blisters that may last a few days or weeks depending upon your immune system. Anyone who has had chickenpox is at risk for developing shingles. Your risk, however, increases as with age – about half of all cases of shingles occur in adults over age 60 years.
My uncle explained that his treatment included an antiviral drug, pain killers and time. The antiviral drug doesn’t cure the shingles, but it can help to reduce the severity of the disease if taken in a timely manner. There is no cure for shingles, but you can prevent shingles by getting vaccinated. A vaccine for shingles is available for people ages 60 or older.
If you have questions about shingles, be sure to talk with your primary care doctor. They can tell you if you qualify for the vaccine.

Industrial capitalism was the most important factor that drew immigrants to the United States between 1880 and 1920. Immigrant workers labored in large industrial complexes producing goods such as steel, textiles, and food products, replacing smaller and more local workshops.
What factors drew immigrants to the United States?
Pull Factors (THE GOOD)…
- plentiful land and employment.
- hopes of becoming rich.
- joining of family and friends in America.
- religious and political freedom (worshiping and voting)
- safety and protection.
What pull factors drew immigrants to America in the 1800s?
In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity.
What brought immigrants to the United States between 1870 1920?
A second wave of immigration to the United States occurred from 1870 to WWI. … Immigrants during this period were motivated to immigrate due to shortages of land, cheaper transportation, and the hope of making money to send home. Between 1870 and 1920 some 11 million immigrants came to the United States.
What was a push factor for many immigrants moving to the United States?
Push factors may include conflict, drought, famine, or extreme religious activity. Poor economic activity and lack of job opportunities are also strong push factors for migration.
Why did the US ban Chinese immigration?
Many Americans on the West Coast attributed declining wages and economic ills to Chinese workers. Although the Chinese composed only . 002 percent of the nation’s population, Congress passed the exclusion act to placate worker demands and assuage prevalent concerns about maintaining white “racial purity.”
Where did most immigrants come from in the 1990s?
Since the mid-1960s, the share of U.S. immigrants who were of Latin American origin has been increasing (Borjas 1994). In 1990, 44 percent of all U.S. immigrants were from Latin America. For the Midwest, each state in 1990 showed an under representation of Latin- American origin immigrants relative to the U.S. average.
What was the US immigration policy in the 1920s?
The Immigration Act of 1924 limited the number of immigrants allowed entry into the United States through a national origins quota. … It also increased the tax paid by new immigrants upon arrival and allowed immigration officials to exercise more discretion in making decisions over whom to exclude.

President Shirley Ann Jackson “dispense[d] with a formal presentation” at the annual Fall Town Meeting on November 2. She took barely over 10 minutes to speak and show a short video that was also played at the capital campaign launch event before opening up to questions.
Jackson reiterated the three pillars of the capital campaign. She also explained that she has been conducting, and is almost finished with, a “listening tour,” which will include visiting every department in every school. The purpose has been to “find out how [departments] see themselves positioned” and to figure out “what they really feel they want to be known for,” while also trying to “identify gaps.”
Jackson ended her speaking portion, and microphones were then brought around the concert hall so that members of the audience could ask questions. “As you know, the director of the Union is funded by the students through a self-imposed tax—” began one audience member. Jackson interjected, “It’s funded by the university. Any money that is charged to matriculating students is money the university is charging them. That’s the legal thing. So, and when they have their proposed fees, those fees are reviewed through the finance office, so they go through a review and approval process, like the budgets for all other parts of the university. So, I think it’s very important that you understand that.”
The student thanked Jackson for clarification, and continued, “Why do the students not have a say in the job description in the performance management tool for the director of the Union position, and why aren’t students formally involved in the process of performance reviews?” Jackson referred to statements made in the question as “patently false” and then deferred to Vice President for Human Resources Curtis Powell for explanation.
“The Union’s just like a reality show, and I feel like I’m a part of it,” began Powell. He affirmed that the president of the Union has worked on the performance management tool, or PMT, and that president of the Union and the grand marshal have been involved in the process for finding a director of the Union. “In fact, we had 10 really viable candidates. Because of the press behind this, we’ve lost eight candidates,” explained Powell, before an audience member stated that was not true. Powell ignored the interruption, and stated that the Union Executive Board is involved in the process and will be interviewing the two remaining candidates when they are brought back to campus.
Bryan Johns ’19, a member of the Human Resources Interview Committee, then expressed that the committee was only presented with two candidates, and that those eight candidates dropped out before students were involved in the process. Johns was also part of the group that reviewed the PMT, and “to [his] understanding, all of the reviews that students made were actually rejected.”
Powell denied that statement, and called on President of the Union Matthew Rand ’19 for verification. Rand expressed that suggestions to the PMT were made, and “not all of the edits [they] suggested were accepted, but a number of them were.”
When The Poly inquired about the changes that required the increased security measures for the event, Jackson attributed them to “very vile, focused, threatening emails that [she’s] gotten because of the Union issue.”
“In 2014, [RPI’s Standard and Poor’s bond rating] fell to an A-, and in 2017, it fell to a BBB+. S&P has specifically cited the institute’s high debt burden and low available resources as the reason for this. What is RPI doing to improve its bond rating, and what in general is the plan going forward with that?” asked Johns.
Jackson said that there is more than one bond rating, and the one that determines what borrowing costs are is from Moody’s Investor Service, where RPI holds an A3 credit rating. This A3 rating is the seventh highest rating Moody’s provides; their rating symbols and definitions are outlined at poly.rpi.edu/s/t0vhr. It indicates that RPI is in the lower end of the A rank, which is judged to be upper-medium grade subject to low credit risk. Jackson attributed RPI’s decrease to S&P’s changing its factors for calculating ratings.
“It is true that Rensselaer has a fair amount of debt, but that debt occurs in two ways, and I think it’s something that people fully need to understand,” stated Jackson. The first is debt incurred for carrying out the Rensselaer Plan, which was supplemented by a previous capital campaign. “We’ve spent over $1.3 billion to upgrade the campus, to hire faculty, to make any number of changes. But that being said, we borrowed for Rensselaer Plan initiatives, for upgrades that needed to be made to the campus, and so on. But, about a $150 plus million of the debt relates to funding of a legacy defined-benefit pension plan that a number of people depend upon,” she explained. “Prior to the time I came to Rensselaer, for a decade before I came, no payments were made into that plan.”
Since Jackson has been at Rensselaer, over $215 million has been put into that payment plan. “So certainly, we have borrowed for that,” she said. “So, if you subtract that from our actual debt, long-term debt, what’s left is actually less than the endowment. So, if we didn’t have that additional debt, there would not—this probably would never have come up.” She claimed that RPI is on the path to the “cross-over,” where the long-term debt and the endowment will meet, and cross, each other.
“During Reunion & Homecoming Weekend, a wall was erected around a large portion of the academic campus. Students and alumni have stated that the administration’s intent was to prevent student protesters from being visible to potential donors. The administration has claimed it was an event barrier for fireworks safety. If this was in fact the case, would you please explain why [the Division of Strategic Communications and External Relations] had previously advertised the lawn adjacent to the [Voorhees Computing Center] as the best viewing location and announced that student groups would line a transformative walkway to the event, both of which were changed? I would also like to add that classes within this fenced-in barrier had to be cancelled after 2 pm on Friday,” inquired Mary Clare Crochiere ’19.
“There are things that we do whenever there are major events and when things happen, in a certain venue, so this is no different than that. To my knowledge, it was not a wall.” responded Jackson. She did not address the Strategic Communications advertisement, transformative walkway, or class cancellations specifically.
“Many people I know, and myself, and 5,363 members, specifically members of the RPI community and counting, have signed a petition in support of student-run Union. For a university that can’t even get that many Twitter followers, or that many people to show up to Reunion & Homecoming in any given year, isn’t that clearly indicating something the RPI community feels very strongly about supporting?” asked one audience member.
“Well, that reaffirms our support for the Union,” responded Jackson. “If you look today and ask how the Union runs versus how the Union ran two years ago or five years ago, nothing has changed. And so, the Union has always been a part of Rensselaer, and the director of the Union has always been an employee of Rensselaer.” She later expanded on how she expects the director to be an “advocate, a supporter, a coach, [and] a mentor.”
“A student group does not have the legal authority to hire an employee of the university. And so, you know, we go through the processes we’ve discussed, and we do these things because we are very supportive of the Union. And so, the Union’s not about to disappear, and it’s not about to disappear as a student-run entity,” she explained.
Graduate student Michael Gardner expressed concern to Jackson about the hiring of a director of the Union, particularly the case where there is a candidate to which the “students say no, and then you say yes.” Gardner then elaborated, “And to follow that, students asked, you said of course, you’re responsible, I always believe in the students, I would never go—”
“No, I said I would take very seriously the student input.” interrupted Jackson.
Gardner asked Jackson that, if she takes student input so seriously, what prevents her from having, in writing, her commitment to agreeing with students unless there is some “grave error.” Jackson said that she planned on leaving it to the judgment of those who “have the responsibility for hiring,” as these people have experience in this regard that students do not. Additionally, creating such a document would create inconsistencies between the Union’s and other hiring processes that take place on campus.
An audience member referred to CLASS as “a program created with good intent” that can often help students form communities, but expressed the concern that “lately it’s being used in such a fashion, perhaps unintentionally, to dismantle organically formed communities.” The speaker specified Ground Zero and the Rensselaer Science Fiction and Anime Association, also known as ARDA. Both of these organizations have recently been moved to new locations.
Assistant Vice President and Dean of Students Travis Apgar responded by saying that “we probably are giving those two organizations more support than maybe we have in the past,” including as a new space in a newer building for Ground Zero, and ARDA’s move to Blitman Residence Commons. “There’s maybe a perception of we’ve moved these folks, but yes we have. But, we’ve actually given them better spaces than they had previously and we continue to support them,” continued Apgar.
“Do you think if I asked members of those organizations, they would agree that it’s better? Because what I understand is that they’ve now moved to more outskirts locations on campus, and they were centralized in Warren and Nugent, now Blitman and I’m not sure.” responded the audience member.
Jackson stepped in and added that, “At any time that there’s a change, and people are accustomed to being in a certain space, it’s always difficult for people to contemplate moving.” She gave an example with the creation of the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies, and expressed that “the answer can’t be that one space stays what it is forever and ever.”
Dean of Student Living & Learning Cary Dresher expanded on how the move to Blitman has given ARDA more space for showing their films and having meetings, and that conversion of a jacket room has also given them a larger, nicer library. “We’ve actually only received positive comments from them,” expressed Dresher. The comments on Ground Zero were similar; Dresher said that he meets with them about twice a month and has received positive feedback.
Apgar then added that interests on campus fluctuate, and that they are working with the Student Life Committee of the Student Senate and the Resident Student Association to send out surveys to determine what students would like to see. “It’s not to say that we don’t support those groups that have been here, but we also wanna make sure that we’re paying attention to what students today and students tomorrow are looking for.”
The audience member that posed the question responded, “What I want to see is actually less of that, and more of you letting students build their own space.” She elaborated more on this, and Apgar clarified that “students are telling us that this is what they’re looking for, so we’re supporting them in that search. So we’re trying to do exactly what you’re describing.”
Vice President for Administration Claude Rounds added, “There’s a great effort that goes on, working with the student communities and student clubs to provide space. And it’s true that students sometimes like to build their own space, but in the particular case of Ground Zero, what’s not being discussed here is that Ground Zero was in the basement of Nugent, and the space that the students had built for themselves became a significant concern from a safety and security perspective.” He continued by saying that safety was the primary reason the space was vacated.
Another question was asked by Steven Sperazza ’18, on behalf of his mother, about Rensselaer being in the news regarding the recent Foundation for Individual Rights in Education articles—most notably regarding the “red-light” rating given to RPI. Secretary of the Institute and General Counsel Craig Cook responded to this, explaining that two policies were given the “red-light” rating. According to Cook, the first was part of the sexual misconduct policy, which has “prohibitions on harassing, intimidating, sexual innuendo—those sorts of things.”
Cook explained that “[FIRE’s] view, if you look at it carefully, is that that’s something that goes beyond protected—that should be protected speech.” He elaborated on the importance of these policies, and that RPI stands “very firmly behind” them in order to protect students. The other policy concerned cyber security, which states that people “cannot use RPI assets to harass or intimidate.” Cook then reaffirmed the commitment to protecting students, and explained that he doesn’t “put a lot of faith in their quote ratings of those policies in terms of protected speech.”
After Cook’s response, Gardner attempted to clarify the previous question. “I think his mother is probably referring to more of the recent articles about the protests being denied in the past couple years, and then I understand that the Dean of Students Office has their reasons for that, but the optics are bad. And I think his mother was also probably looking for a comment about that, as well as just my mother.”
Apgar responded and reiterated the focus on safety in the process of considering an application for a peaceful demonstration. With the most recent application, they “determined early on, weeks before, that [they] were going to be very hard pressed to be able to do any other large event, including a demonstration.” That particular demonstration was denied for its “very specific time period.” According to Apgar, the applicant was invited to talk about alternatives, and “that person refused to do that.”
“We do a lot to try to allow our students to have that freedom of speech and be able to demonstrate.” Apgar then briefly elaborated on RPI’s policies, comparing them to the restrictions many campuses, including some public universities, place on freedom of speech locations. “So when you look at our policy and our practices overall, I would say that we’re actually very flexible. I do understand some of the feedback we’ve received, but again—invited folks in to have a conversation about what alternatives may happen, and didn’t have any opportunity to interact with those folks based on their choices.” he continued.
Johns, the applicant referenced by Apgar, then introduced himself and provided his perspective. “I told [your secretary] that because there were to be no demonstrations at all that weekend, that I would no longer be pursuing my application, and she told me that you wished to meet with me regardless. I did not know why you still wanted to meet if I was not following with the application, so I asked her and she told me that you didn’t tell her and that she didn’t know. I stated to her that I would be happy to come in some other time, but that I am busy today; I have some commitments. She wished me a good weekend and I never heard back.”
“Well, thanks. I appreciate that. That’s not exactly what I had in terms of the response that you gave to her. Too bad we didn’t connect. But, it’s nice to finally meet you face-to-face. I did also kind of put it out there publicly that I would be happy to meet with anybody who’s interested. The only person who showed up was a recent alum, and actually did not even bring a proposal for an alternative. So, hopefully in the future, what I would suggest is that anybody who is interested, please do follow up,” responded Apgar.
“One of the pillars of the new capital campaign is to bring Rensselaer into the third century,” began an audience member. “I think a lot of parts of campus are still struggling to be in the second century, and I think ECAV doesn’t really need expanding when parts of campus are missing air conditioning, or, more importantly, accessibility access,” she later continued.
Jackson responded, stating that whenever major upgrades and renovations occur, they do also provide handicap accessibility. “I personally walk around campus to look for where there are opportunities to strengthen handicap accessibility,” she added. After elaborating on accessibility changes to the website and the “huge change” that has occurred since she got to Rensselaer, she deferred to Rounds.
Rounds spoke about how, over the next few years, “several million dollars” will be invested in preparing classrooms and dorms for the Arch, which will include air conditioning. According to Rounds, about $58 million has been spent on deferred maintenance, about $16 million has been spent on classrooms, and $500,000 to $1 million are spent per year to address accessibility requirements. In the past two years, $2 to $3 million a year have been spent on classroom upgrades to accommodate the expansion in enrollment, and this will continue as part of the “capital plan.”
One audience member addressed how Rensselaer decided not to participate in the Excelsior Scholarship—which provides a tuition-free college education to New York residents—while one of the pillars of the capital campaign is to bridge the gap of student need.
“Well, it turns out that, you know, we looked at that, and there are a lot of, you know, interesting things about the Excelsior Scholarships that most people don’t understand,” Jackson responded. They determined that the requirements attached to the program would not be beneficial to Rensselaer as a whole, and that they would rather better their financial aid independently of the scholarship. Jackson expanded on these efforts, stating that approximately $20 to $25 million has been added to the financial aid pool over the years, and that 95 percent of current students receive financial aid.
In response to a question about the lack of scholarship opportunities for international students, Jackson said that international undergraduate students aren’t given much financial aid because RPI doesn’t get much support from international alumni. However, the entire graduate population, of which about half are international students, gets support from Rensselaer in some way, she added.

Story: As two friends head to work for another day of routine construction, they have no idea they’re about to face an evil of epic proportions. The friends are part of a crew tasked to restore a cabin, but the process unearths a cursed book, which unleashes pure evil into the world. By the time the friends arrive at the worksite, it is already too late and one of their coworkers has been possessed. The possessed worker wields a machete and is butchering the others when the friends show up, though they’re able to fend off the blade swinging fiend. But with the evil loose and blood soaked violence on tap, can the friends find a way to suppress the book before it overtakes the world?
Entertainment Value: This is a fun one, a shot on video, micro budget bloodbath that has DIY magic and lo-fi charm to burn, a wild, over the top ride that is infectiously entertaining to watch. Slaughter Day is an obvious love letter of sorts to Evil Dead, with a narrative that shares common threads and a wacky, blood soaked approach to the horror elements. The sense of humor is here as well, with the story centering on an infected respirator and a host of moments that either pay to tribute to Evil Dead or that focus on a similar brand of humor within the horror framework. Not all the humor works, but the energy and passion is so strong in Slaughter Day, even the weaker moments worked well, as you can’t help but get pulled into by the spirit and charm of the low budget, but high energy production. That isn’t always the case with regional or super low budget projects, but this one shines in that regard and it elevates the entire movie, in my opinion. The movie runs under an hour and wastes little time, so the pace is frenetic and that also helps a lot, since there is no down time and when a scene doesn’t land as strong, the film never lingers, so we move to the next. I had a great time with Slaughter Day and anyone who appreciates DIY horror should make sure to check it out.
Aside from some brief shirtless shoveling, there’s no sleaze in this one, but Slaughter Day does deliver when it comes to the red stuff. I love this kind of cheap, over the top gore and the movie does it well, with a number of memorable scenes of violence. So yes, the bloodshed does look DIY, but this is good DIY and to me, it is a big part of the movie’s charm. Even minor wounds gush blood and pulse here, which means whenever the violence is uncorked, the crimson flows. We see scalp trauma, gaping torsos, ax driven dismemberment, impalement, goopy head trauma, vivid gunshot wounds, a nasty shin trauma, and someone is cleaved in ‘twain in one of the highlights, not to mention all the various stab wounds and other blood dripping mayhem. All of this and more is packed into an under an hour of cinema, so that’s a real testament to Slaughter Day. The dialogue is humorous for various reasons, but the impact comes from the facial expressions, which are outlandish here. I love how over the top and committed the actors are, this cast goes for broke and it is so fun to watch. As for wackiness, we have literary deep throating, oppression of the working class, the garbage bag treatment, amateur demonic hair styling, the one cop gratuitous sailing, audible instructions from the filmmakers, and some of the most hilarious, fun bad fight scenes you’ll find.
Overall Insanity: 6/10
The Disc: Visual Vengeance has released Slaughter Day on a deluxe Blu-ray platter, which starts with a transfer sourced from the archival master, which was sourced from the original tapes. As you’d expect, the shot on video material looks a little rough, but that is both an impassable technical issue and part of the charm of this genre. This looks as good as possible, all things considered and I think fans will be thrilled to have such a watchable version available. The disc is loaded with extras, including the short film Full Metal Platoon and three short film sequels to Slaughter Day, which are all excellent inclusions that add value to this release. Two audio commentary tracks are also on deck, one with two members of the Visual Vengeance staff and the other with Brent and Blake Cousins, who provide some first hand memories of the movie and their experiences. The extras also include the Slaughter Day theme song, alternate takes, a new interview with the Cousins, the film’s original trailer, and some Visual Vengeance physical goodies like a mini poster and some video store style stickers.
