text: http://stores.ebay.com/Black-Gaines-Toy-Store I've restocked a few items including High Brow, Brainstorm, Quickswitch, Metroplex, Trypticon, and a couple more. I've lowered the prices a bit on a lot of the model kits, too. People are probably wondering what happened to the Fort Max, Scorpinok and Sixshot kits; well, the company in China stopped making all of the model kits and, these 3, being the most popular ones, sold out the quickest. So I may have a couple more in the future, but they'll probably be going for about $20 each. Expensive, I know, but they've become impossible to find in China now. If I can't get that much for them, I'd rather just hang onto them for my own collection. Similarly, I only have a couple Optimus Primes, Sideswipes, Starscream, and Soundwaves left and, because the company stopped making them, I'm not getting any more. Because they're not as popular as Fort Max et. al., I haven't increased the prices, but they probably won't last long, so get them while you can. Luckilly, I was able to get a pretty large amount of all the other model kits (50 to 70 of each, I believe) to last me a while. And as I said before, I lowered some of the prices to help move them. Lastly, I'm getting some more WSTF-size kits in (the single-color ones that are very, very, very small) and restocks of Liokaiser and Deathsaurus soon, so watch for those in the next couple weeks. Thanks!!

Highpark is a new residential project located in the middle of San Pedro Garza García and described by Face – the agency behind the development’s visual identity, print work and website – as ‘arguably one of Latin America’s most affluent municipalities’ and widely credited as an “architectural masterpiece”.
Face go on to say that the “project needed to speak volumes about the brand’s commitment to creativity, sophistication, and quality of lifestyle. It was conceived by superstar Mexican architect Michel Rojkind, and envisioned as an urban development of luxury residences in northern Mexico’s most exclusive corner.” As such Face created a “clean, polished, unobtrusive aesthetic designed to beautifully showcase the project, using sharp, classic typography, and the fool-proof duo of black and gold.”
Metronet is an Oslo-based consultancy that provides strategic SEO, PPC, e-commerce, social media, web analytic, design and development services to a wide range of international clients. The consultancy’s visual identity, developed by Work In Progress, mixes the established technological conventions of simple geometric forms, fine line weights, grids and a mono-spaced typeface with abstract interior artwork and a retrospective undertone to convey digital networks, creative thought and experience. This extends across business cards, stationery and neon signage.

Announced in a recent Press Release, Binance has officially completed the intergration with Polygons’ (MATIC) mainnet wallet onto its platform. Binance users are now able to deposit and withdraw their Polygon using their Binance account and enjoy compatibility with decentralised applications (DApps) such as Sushiswap, Aave, Balancer and more.
With the integration now complete, it provides trades with the ability to use DApps cost-effectively and efficiently, without having to use any of the current Polygon Bridges.
Binance are set to increase their level of services for Polygon by offering MATIC-related ERC-20, BEP2, and BEP20 tokens. With Binance representing Polygon’s most recent integration, the network has already collaborated with other cryptocurrency exchange platforms such as Huobi and Coinbase as well as Ethereum based services.
Users familiar with DApps are looking with enthusiasm at the on-going Ethereum 2.0 update. The update represents solutions for the networks scaling difficulties, one of their core areas of concern. However, Polygon is temporarily assisting the Ethereum network in this capacity. The network allows developers to create sidechains with distinct features for their DApps, which may provide the required expansion capabilities for mainstream adoption.
Developers are already capitalising on these possibilities. Recently, the Polygon network launched a gaming-focused endeavor, Polygon Studios, to create decentralised games and employ the full utility of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT’s).
Despite these positive developments for Binance, Malaysia has recently forbid the worlds largest cryptocurrency exchange platform from operating in the country. Binance has been given a 14 day notice to conclude all ongoing operations in the area.
This development occurred after Binance had announced that it will discontinue its crypto derivatives trading in Europe, despite the platforms decreased withdrawal limitations and the implementation of tax report facilities.

The seat of Garfield County and terminus of a branch line of the Union Pacific, this was the center of the surrounding wheat, barley, and cattle country and for the irrigated acreage to the north, where quantities of beans, alfalfa, fruits, and vegetables were produced.
In 1864 Joseph M. Pomeroy came to this region from Ashtabula, Ohio, and started a blooded-stock farm on Pataha Creek, to supply the demand of stagecoach operators. In the late 1870s a flour mill was erected, rail connections were constructed, a bank established, a fire department formed, and the townsite platted. The town was then on the stage route to Lewiston, and old timers spoke of the St. George Hotel, where travelers swapped tall tales and stood each other up for drinks. Several times daily during these boom days six-horse coaches clattered into town, the animals in a lather, and dust clouds flying. In 1882, the town was named seat of the newly formed Garfield County.
During these frontier days Pomeroy was beset with gamblers, road agents, miners, and cattle rustlers. In an effort to maintain order and to control traffic in liquor and drunkenness, the town adopted a local option measure but this was soon declared unconstitutional. Recalling these boom days an old-timer said, “Main Street had 20 saloons and things were poppin’. The town ain’t bigger now an’ nothin’ is poppin’.”
Pomeroy, nevertheless, was a prosperous town with a compact business section, neat, shaded, residential districts, and a city park. Prior to 1864, the land was claimed by Walter Sunderland, who established a stock ranch. On December 8, 1864, he sold out to Joseph M. Pomeroy, who had been a mechanic for Wells, Fargo & Company and was a Civil War veteran. On May 28, 1878, Pomeroy platted the area as a town site and it was named for him. At one time the place supported 20 saloons; while the capacity of early-day miners was prodigious, this number appears to have been somewhat more than one small town could maintain.

Well this conversation pretty much confirms all the dreams I have been sharing with you about the all seeing all knowing mechanical eye and consciousness enhanced technology. Machines that are alive and can read your mind. I am convinced what I saw is the image of the beast (Revelation 13). It is a technologically conscious device that is in full control of the world. Its called Transhumanism, and they are literally transfering human souls into technological devices. This also confirms my matrix dream.

We are delighted to stock one of the newest breastplate designs on the market today
It's ideal for Drag queens, Crossdressers and Trans
Being made from 100% food grade silicone has many advantages over the oil based silicone normally used.
It’s soft to touch, odourless, tasteless and non-toxic.
It’s non oil based stops it from getting greasy, which mean it will not mark any fabrics or clothing that you wear over them.
With its extremely realistic skin tone and thin edge on the neck, shoulder and waist, makes it stand out from other products of its kind. It has the neck included which can be trimmed if you would prefer to have a lower cut.
It’s filled with elastic cotton which makes it much lighter than a liquid, therefore much more comfortable to wear. It's made from an amazingly elastic material, making it incredibly stretchy and therefore a lot easier to put on and take off without tearing it, unlike other products on the market.
This breastplate will not fade or stain and is super easy to look after. It comes in 6 different colours and we stock D, E and G cup.
How to look after your breastplate
Clean in warm water with a mild soap, always allow to air dry or very gently use a towel. Do not put in the washing machine and keep away from chemical materials, hot temperatures and strong sunlight.
Also keep it away from sharp objects too.
This product is easy dyeing, please wash separately from other clothing.
Use talcum powder to keep it dry and store in a plastic bag and box in a cool place.

And BTW, who is responsible for the Budget in our democracy?????
Hint: It's NOT the President!!
SPIN SPIN SPIN!!!!!!
From his budget (debt numbers starting in 2013)

Nancy Pelosi and her gun control allies in the U.S. House recently passed two gun control bills H.R. 8 and H.R. 1446. Now Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer are pushing these bills in the U.S. Senate, as well as calling for bans on lawfully-owned firearms! This legislation won’t have any impact on crime or criminals, doesn’t address America’s broken mental health system and doesn’t address the underlying causes of violence. The first bill, H.R. 8, would criminalize the private transfer of firearms and targets law-abiding gun owners for persecution. It would make criminals out of law-abiding gun owners for simply loaning a firearm to a friend or some family members. This bill would not stop criminals from obtaining guns because criminals do not comply with the law. And the legislation would be unenforceable without federal gun registration. The second bill, H.R. 1446, would allow unelected government bureaucrats to indefinitely delay firearm purchases for law-abiding Americans – depriving them of the ability to defend themselves and their families. Further, Joe Biden just recently called for banning commonly-owned firearms and magazines used for hunting, recreational shooting and self-defense! Again, please contact your U.S. Senators today and urge them to reject Biden and Schumer’s gun control! Thank you.

Budget Prioritizes Student Access and Success, Staff Compensation
The CSU’s budget plan—focused on student access and success, faculty and staff compensation, and mandatory costs—was presented to the Board of Trustees last week as a proposal for how to align spending with the governor’s proposed budget.
Gov. Brown’s budget includes an additional $125.1 million for the CSU, $10 million of which is earmarked for technology to address “bottleneck” courses. The CSU’s plan prioritizes funding for its most pressing needs, including:
- $21.7 million to address unprecedented enrollment demand, which will allow approximately 6,000 additional students to attend the CSU
- $7.2 million for student access and success initiatives to reduce time to degree, close the achievement gap and improve graduation rates
- $38 million for a modest compensation pool to recognize the work of faculty and staff
- $48.2 million for mandatory costs, including increased CSU costs for employee health benefits, operation and maintenance of new space, and energy costs.
This governor’s budget reverses the trend of dramatic declines that cut nearly $1 billion in annual state support from the CSU over the past five years.
The trustees also heard updates on the CSU’s Troops to College initiative, which offers opportunities to help veterans, active-duty service members and their families meet their educational goals, and the Center for Community Engagement’s 15-year milestone. National Teacher of the Year 2012 Rebecca Mieliwocki, an alumna of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and CSU Northridge, addressed the group, expressing her pride at being a CSU graduate and her belief in and commitment to California’s public education system. Read the agenda.
CSU Advocacy at Work in Sacramento, D.C.
In their ongoing effort to promote the California State University’s crucial role in the state and in the nation, CSU leaders met with members of the California Congressional delegation at the university’s annual Hill Day in Washington, D.C. and with state lawmakers at Legislative Day in Sacramento earlier this month. The chancellor, campus presidents, trustees, alumni and other representatives spoke with elected officials about improving student aid, increasing college access, preparing students for the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields and workforce readiness. The CSU also hosted more than 200 alumni at its third annual NY/Tri-State alumni reception in New York City. In addition to remarks by Chancellor Timothy P. White, the CSU debuted its 2013 Working for California campaign in which seven outstanding alumni were highlighted.
Cal State Online Announces Financial Support
Cal State Online recently announced it will provide financial support to new and existing fully online self-support programs that commit to join Cal State Online during the 2013 calendar year and begin offering courses by December 2014.
The initiative, which brings together many of the online programs available through the CSU and provides student support services, launched in January with early interest from students and strong support from CSU leadership. CSU Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Financial Officer Benjamin Quillian said, “We believe that Cal State Online will grow quickly and we want to provide the financial support to encourage additional programs to join the initiative so we can meet the needs of our students with a robust set of degree program offerings.”
Cal State Online currently focuses on degree completion programs for re-entry students and veterans, but will soon add courses and degrees in high-demand subject areas. Financial support will be allocated on a first-come basis until all funds are committed, or through December 2014. The funding is limited to degree programs. Learn more or contact Ruth Claire Black.
Academic Senate Celebrates 50 Years
The Academic Senate of the California State University (ASCSU) commemorated its 50th anniversary March 14 with an afternoon program at the Chancellor’s Office. Featured speakers reflected on the first decade of the ASCSU, its accomplishments and challenges across the years, and the future of shared governance. Attendees participated in discussion groups to envision the future of collegial governance. “We are celebrating the role of the Academic Senate in architecting the history and future of the CSU system in collaboration with all members of the CSU family,” said ASCSU Chair Dr. Diana Guerin.
According to its mission, the Academic Senate promotes academic excellence in the CSU, recommends policies to the Board of Trustees and the chancellor and is the primary consultative body on the academic implications of systemwide fiscal decisions.
CSU Students Excel at Service Learning
Nationally recognized as a leader in the field, the CSU’s Center for Community Engagement (CCE) celebrates 15 years of support for service learning this month.
Established in 1997, the CCE was a first-of-its-kind program in the country and now partners with close to 2,300 community organizations to enhance students’ academic experience through service to their communities. Nearly half of the CSU’s 437,000 students are engaged in community service, contributing 32 million hours of service annually to California communities—an annual economic impact of $697 million. Sixteen of the CSU’s 23 campuses were recognized in the 2013 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, which annually commends colleges and universities that achieve meaningful, measureable outcomes in the communities they serve. Two CSU campuses were honor roll finalists, three CSU campuses earned Honor Roll with Distinction, and 11 CSU campuses were honor roll recipients.

The second edition of made in Ghana Bazaar Extravaganza has been opened in Accra.
The program is hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration which is currently ongoing at the Accra International Conference Center.
Speaking to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey , she said the event is strategically designed to harness the efforts of our local industries, especially small and medium scale enterprises in Ghana to obtain global recognition.
According to her the Ministry seeks to achieve this goal, by using the network of diplomatic mission abroad and engagement with Foreign Diplomatic Missons resident in Ghana.
Mrs Shirley Ayorkor in an interview with Oman Fm, she said Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, to industrialise Ghana within the broader view of reducing our reliance on aid and placing the country on a pedestal that will enable Ghana effectively trade for gains with our trading partners.
Furthermore, Mrs Botchway said they envisage to use the Made in Ghana Bazaar Extravaganza to contribute positively towards achieving the Ghana Beyond Aid.

Oh Lord, I want You to know how much I love You. You have been so good to me, as to come to my needs and save me from my sins. I know that I am not perfect, but strive to live in Your righteousness, each day. When I slip into sin, it hurts me so much, that I broke Your laws and have sinned against You. Thank You for hearing prayers in these times and others and having had mercy upon my soul. I wish to always be faithful to You, but I know that the flesh is weak. Therefore, I plead for Your armor to take over my life. Forgive me when I am out of line and draw near unto You again for mercy. I know that You are the Messiah, which came into the world and sacrificed Yourself on the cross. You paid the ultimate price for sins, that we could never accomplish on our own. You freely took upon sin, so that we don't have to suffer for our sins in judgement. Thank You Lord. Thank You for freeing me my bondage, that I am no longer a slave to sin. Because of You, I have hope for this life and the next. There are still trials I have to face, but as I endure in this faith I know that all things will work out for my good. Lord, I wish that for the remaining days of my life, that I will be a viable witness for You. I wish that people would hear the gospel and come to You for salvation. I know that I am not always the best speaker, but You are able to take my weaknesses and make them strong. Surely, when You take over and start speaking through me, people are taught the truth and also convicted of their sins. May they these people turn from their sins and unto You, oh God. You are our redeemer and I trust in You. I love You Lord. Thank You for everything You do for me and through my life, for the good of others. Amen.
Daniel 9:24-26 (KJV)
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Jesus is the Messiah that was prophesied of old. He did come into the world and sacrificed Himself for the sins of this world.
It was after Daniel prayed that the angel Gabriel appeared unto Him. He then spoke of the time frame of when the Messiah would come into the world. Continue Reading

Apart from Apex and GO Rentals, most of our car rental partners don’t allow their vehicles to go on the ferries that run between New Zealand’s main islands. That being said, they may offer multi-hire deals, wherein you can drop off your rental car at the ferry terminal, then collect another on the other side.
If you're starting your journey in the North Island, you’ll need to return your first rental car to the Wellington Ferry Terminal. This terminal is close to the city centre—at Aotea Quay—and operates from 6:30am to 6:15pm. Once you've dropped off your rental car, you'll need to proceed to the Passenger Terminal.
The Picton Passenger Terminal generally operates from 8am to 8pm. If you’d like to travel from the South Island to the North Island to continue your road trip, you’ll need to drop your rental car off at the terminal; then, once you reach Wellington to collect your next rental car, you’ll find the car rental desks inside the terminal there.

Stoicism, a school of thought that flourished in Greek and Roman antiquity. It was one of the loftiest and most sublime philosophies in the record of Western civilization. In urging participation in human affairs, Stoics have always believed that the goal of all inquiry is to provide a mode of conduct characterized by tranquillity of mind and certainty of moral worth.
Nature and scope of Stoicism
For the early Stoic philosopher, as for all the post-Aristotelian schools, knowledge and its pursuit are no longer held to be ends in themselves. The Hellenistic Age was a time of transition, and the Stoic philosopher was perhaps its most influential representative. A new culture was in the making. The heritage of an earlier period, with Athens as its intellectual leader, was to continue, but to undergo many changes. If, as with Socrates, to know is to know oneself, rationality as the sole means by which something outside of the self might be achieved may be said to be the hallmark of Stoic belief. As a Hellenistic philosophy, Stoicism presented an ars vitae, a way of accommodation for people to whom the human condition no longer appeared as the mirror of a uniform, calm, and ordered cosmos. Reason alone could reveal the constancy of cosmic order and the originative source of unyielding value; thus, reason became the true model for human existence. To the Stoic, virtue is an inherent feature of the world, no less inexorable in relation to humans than are the laws of nature.
The Stoics believed that perception is the basis of true knowledge. In logic, their comprehensive presentation of the topic is derived from perception, yielding not only the judgment that knowledge is possible but also that certainty is possible, on the analogy of the incorrigibility of perceptual experience. To them, the world is composed of material things, with some few exceptions (e.g., meaning), and the irreducible element in all things is right reason, which pervades the world as divine fire. Things, such as material, or corporeal, bodies, are governed by this reason or fate, in which virtue is inherent. The world in its awesome entirety is so ruled as to exhibit a grandeur of orderly arrangement that can only serve as a standard for humankind in the regulation and ordering of life. Thus, the goal of humans is to live according to nature, in agreement with the world design.
Stoic moral theory is also based on the view that the world, as one great city, is a unity. Humans, as world citizens, have an obligation and loyalty to all things in that city. They must play an active role in world affairs, remembering that the world exemplifies virtue and right action. Thus, moral worth, duty, and justice are singularly Stoic emphases, together with a certain sternness of mind. For the moral person neither is merciful nor shows pity, because each suggests a deviation from duty and from the fated necessity that rules the world. Nonetheless—with its loftiness of spirit and its emphasis on the individual’s essential worth—the themes of universal brotherhood and the benevolence of divine nature make Stoicism one of the most appealing of philosophies.
Its chief competitors in antiquity were: (1) Epicureanism, with its doctrine of a life of withdrawal in contemplation and escape from worldly affairs and its belief that pleasure, as the absence of pain, is the goal of humans; (2) Skepticism, which rejected certain knowledge in favour of local beliefs and customs, in the expectation that those guides would provide the quietude and serenity that the dogmatic philosopher (e.g., the Stoic) could not hope to achieve; and (3) Christianity, with its hope of personal salvation provided by an appeal to faith as an immanent aid to human understanding and by the beneficent intervention of a merciful God.
Along with its rivals, Stoicism enabled the individual to better order his own life and to avoid the excesses of human nature that promote disquietude and anxiety. It was easily the most influential of the schools from the time of its founding through the first two centuries ce, and it continued to have a marked effect on later thought. During the late Roman and medieval periods, elements of Stoic moral theory were known and used in the formulation of Christian, Jewish, and Islamic theories of humanity and nature, of the state and society, and of law and sanctions—e.g., in the works of Cicero, Roman statesman and orator; in Lactantius, often called the “Christian Cicero”; and in Boethius, a scholar transitional to the Middle Ages. In the Renaissance, Stoic political and moral theory became more popular to theorists of natural law and political authority and of educational reform—e.g., in Hugo Grotius, a Dutch jurist and statesman, and in Philipp Melanchthon, a major Reformation scholar. In the 20th century, Stoicism became popular again for its insistence on the value of the individual and the place of value in a world of strife and uncertainty—e.g., in existentialism and in Neo-orthodox Protestant theology. Stoicism also played an important role in reassessments of the history of logic.

Peter Dundas designed one of Poppy Delevingne’s wedding dresses at 2014 (the other was a bespoke Chanel wedding dress) and here she returns the favor , starring in his new holiday look. Dundas was leading Emilio Pucci at the time, and now he is running his own label. There’s a consistent line—he’s always the one to go to when you want to be noticed—but his bourgeois bohemian looks are sexier these days. The two-piece, one-half cropped long-sleeve top reveals a hint of the underbust, and black leather hot pants paired with a leopard-print jacket are cut high on the sides for his ’70s style The pantsuit comes with a sheer bra and garter belts.
“She wants to be seen,” Dundas said by phone from Paris, while selling the collection. The understated luxury trend sweeping the industry doesn’t apply here. “To be honest, I didn’t think about it too much,” he said. “My woman is so defined.” Notable, since Gwyneth Paltrow stood out in a white dress with side and back ties (presumably referring to the sprained neck) , body-focused white dresses have long been a Dundas signature. One bite and one adjustment. This season’s silhouette was almost entirely backless, with the skirt dangling from a delicate cord. But overall, the front of the neck is the erogenous zone of this collection. His women could choose from a plunging V-neck mini caftan with allover crocodile embroidery, a stretch jersey with a peek-a-boo neckline and side cutouts, and a jumpsuit with a plunging scarf bodice.

When do problems with mail-in ballots become a problem for the media?
You almost cannot listen to the mainstream media discuss mail-in ballots without a reporter or news anchor prefacing his or her story by dismissing concerns about the reliability of mail-in ballots.
But they often fail to distinguish between absentee voting, which is generally safe and secure, and the newer and less-reliable practice of blanketing a region with mail-in ballots that voters may or may not expect, want or need — or know how to use.
Ironically, the same mainstream media frequently carry stories on mail-in ballot snafus.
So how many stories do the media have to run about problems with mail-in ballots before the media themselves see mail-in ballots as a problem?
For example, an August National Public Radio report begins, “An extraordinarily high number of ballots – more than 550,000 – have been rejected in this year’s presidential primaries, according to a new analysis by NPR.” The reporter adds, “That’s far more than the 318,728 ballots rejected in the 2016 general election.”
Those 550,000 rejected ballots came in during this year’s primaries, when far fewer people voted than voted in the 2016 general election. That distinction is important.
The 318,728 rejected mail-in ballots in the 2016 general election amounted to less than a quarter of a percent of the 137 million votes cast.
By contrast, there were some 58 million Republican and Democratic primary votes this year. If more than 550,000 mail-in ballots were rejected, that’s nearly 1 percent of the total primary votes.
Tens of millions of voters will vote by mail for the very first time in this election. And most states that are vastly expanding their mail-in ballot options have had little experience handling the expected increase.
Thus, a 1 percent rejection rate in November may be – and probably will be – on the low side.
The NPR story goes on to point out how close some of the 2016 votes were in key swing states. “For example, President Trump won Wisconsin in 2016 by almost 23,000 votes. More than 23,000 absentee ballots were rejected in the state’s presidential primary in April. More than 37,000 primary ballots were also rejected in June in Pennsylvania, a state Trump won by just over 44,000 votes.”
In other words, Trump won those states in 2016 by close to the same number of mail-in ballots that were rejected in the 2020 primary.
In the 2016 election, there were eight states where the vote spread between Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton was about 3 percentage points or less. Thus, an even closer 2020 election in those eight states, combined with potentially many more mail-in ballots, could leave several states undecided on Nov. 3 — and perhaps much later.
Several articles have explained that the decision over who wins the White House may ultimately be handed to the newly-elected members of the House of Representatives.
But that ignores the possibility that we may not know who won many of those House seats either, because the rejected ballots would include votes for people running for the House and perhaps the Senate and many other state and local races.
Such problems may hurt Democratic candidates more, since Democrats have been pushing for a widespread expansion of mail-in voting and appear more likely to vote that way.
A September NBCLX/YouGov poll found that 65 percent of Democrats said they would vote by mail in this election, verses 49 percent of independents and 35 percent of Republicans — nearly twice the number of Democrats as Republicans.
Of course, five states (Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Hawaii and Washington) have long had mail-in ballots only, and they seem to handle the process well — but they have had years of experience.
Another seven mostly Democratic-led states and Washington, D.C. are mailing ballots to all eligible voters for the first time, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. And many others are expanding mail-in vote options. According to the Washington Post, 84 percent of Americans will be able to vote by mail in this election.
It’s a near certainty that many of those opting for mail-in voting will make mistakes, as timelines, rules and requirements differ from state to state and in many cases have changed repeatedly and recently.
Given the potential for mismanagement, misinformation and unintended error – and we’re not even discussing the possibility of fraud – it’s astonishing that the media keep trying to reassure voters that mail-in ballots are a safe and secure way to ensure their vote is counted.
As for me, I’ll be voting early — and in person.

Less than a month before the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, long-distance bus drivers in Beijing reportedly have been told to wear wristbands to monitor their “psychological state” through “emotion-sensing technology.”
According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the state-run Beijing Public Transport Holding Group proposed the move. The company claims the plan is to protect and improve public safety.
The South China Morning Post cited Beijing Daily on Wednesday, September 21, reporting about 1,800 wristbands were given to bus drivers on inter-province and highway routes. The report said the devices were used to monitor drivers’ real-time vital signs and emotional states to improve safety.
The plan was carried out as a pilot program back in June for bus drivers in one of Beijing’s districts. The company said on its official social network platform Weibo at the time, “The provision of wristbands is a technological means to strengthen the physical and mental health management of drivers.”
However, legal experts have raised privacy concerns about wristband abuse. They said the device could cause bus drivers unnecessary stress when being monitored, which might lead to discrimination.
Electronic wristbands have been reportedly used to monitor people as part of China’s COVID-controlled measures.
SCMP reported that in July, a complex compound in Beijing required residents to wear electronic wristbands to track body temperature when they were under home COVID quarantine. One resident refused to do so and shared the requirement online. The incident caused a public outcry, leading to the stipulation being dropped.
The Chinese regime has long been known for conducting mass surveillance systems to monitor its citizens via the internet, camera, and technologies.
According to the New York Times, China is expanding its surveillance system to monitor the Chinese people in almost all aspects of life by collecting citizens’ personal data, phone tracking, cameras, even DNA, and other means.
The regime also uses its controversial Social Credit System to control its citizens further. The system comprises databases and initiatives that judge and grade citizens’ trustworthiness.
Each entity is accessed and then given a social credit score. The system rewards those with high ratings and punishes those with low scores.

Codemasters, the UK-based video game development company, has fallen foul of hackers, who have broken into their network and stolen customer information.
In an email sent to customers, Codemasters explained that the intrusion was detected on Friday June 3rd, and users are urged to change their online passwords and keep an eye open for scams which might exploit the stolen information.
Names, addresses, usernames, dates of birth, telephone numbers, gamer tags, and encrypted passwords are just some of the pieces of information stolen by the hackers. Fortunately, the firm assures customers that credit card information was not included in the hackers’ haul, but the data which was exposed would be of value to phishers and other online criminals.
It’s clearly a serious problem, even if some online gamers are trying to see the funny side:
I see Codemasters have been hacked now. Luckily the hackers already have all my details from my PS3…

Left ventricular false tendons are thin, fibromuscular structures which traverse the left ventricular cavity. They are thought to be intracavitary radiations of the bundle of His. Usually these tendons span between the interventricular septum and the lateral wall or a papillary muscle. They have been known to be a source of innocent and musical murmurs.
In this case report a peculiar left ventricular false tendon is shown—one extending between the two papillary muscles, giving the appearance of a musical note. During ventricular diastole the tendon is pulled taut between the two heads of the papillary muscles and during ventricular systole the tendon relaxes. The echocardiographic characteristics and possible long term implications are discussed.
Left ventricular myocardial bands—also called false tendons—are anomalous fibromuscular structures which traverse the left ventricular cavity.1 They originate in the interventricular septum and stretch across the left ventricular cavity, implanting in either the lateral wall or a papillary muscle.2
They may be associated with cardiac pathology or they may be an isolated finding.2
Echocardiographically these structures may mimic pathologic structures, such as intraventricular chorda rupture, vegetation or thrombus.3
These tendons may be a cause of murmurs—a musical murmur has been described when they are pulled taut by ventricular dilatation.4 A substudy from the Framingham Heart Study have confirmed the association of false tendons with innocent, precordial murmurs, but they were not associated with a risk of mortality.5
In this case report a peculiar left ventricular false tendon is shown—the tendon extends between the two papillary muscles, giving the papillary muscle-tendon complex the appearance of a musical note. During the cardiac cycle the tendon is continuously being pulled taut and relaxed during ventricular diastole and systole respectively, thus leading to the echocardiographical impression of the playing of a musical cord, thus the term the “violin heart”.
A 23-year old, healthy Caucasian male was referred for an echocardiogram by his primary care physician who suspected the presence of a prolapsing mitral valve, based on his auscultation of a midsystolic click.
The patient never had any previous medical or surgical problems and he was completely asymptomatic. The midsystolic click was heard during an examination done during a bout of flu.
During the clinical examination of the patient the midsystolic click was not audible. No clinical abnormalities were detected and theelectrocardiogram was normal.
Echocardiography revealed a peculiar left ventricular false tendon which was clearly visible on the parasternal, short-axis view between the two papillary muscles (see Fig. 1- the tendon is marked with +). Also note the clear relaxation of tension on the tendon during left ventricular contraction (see Fig. 2- the tendon is marked with +).
Supplementary Figure 1 is a movie clip which clearly demonstrates the continuous and rhythmic cycle of the tendon being pulled taut and relaxing during ventricular diastole and systole respectively. Supplementary Figure 2 is a movie clip which clearly demonstrates a structurally normal mitral valve.
In this case report a peculiar echocardiographical entity is described—the “violin heart”. This picture is the result of a false tendon extending between the two heads of the papillary muscles.
The differential diagnosis of ventricular false tendons include the following:1 isolated, left ventricular non-compaction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and levo-transposition of the great arteries.
The production of sound4,5 is not the only physiological action of tendons: Bhatt et al6 have demonstrated that patients with cardiomyopathy who have false tendons present in the left ventricular cavity have less severe mitral regurgitation. The mechanism for this reduction in functional mitral regurgitation is thought to be less severe mitral valve deformation when a false tendon is present.6 Long false tendons are also at risk for rupture and can then act as a nidus for infection or thrombus formation.1,7
The embryologic basis of left ventricular false tendons is unknown, but may be due to the extension of the cardiac conduction system into the left ventricular cavity.1,8 False tendons can be associated with ventricular septal defects, a bicuspid aortic valve and coarctation of the aorta.1,9
A substudy of the Framingham Heart Study5 have shown that these tendons are not associated with an increased mortality if no associated pathology is present and thus, the patient in this case report has a good prognosis.

Health care for farm workers injured in Canada again in limbo
Debbie-Ann Wright, News Editor - Radio
Health care coverage for two Jamaican farm workers who were injured in Canada is again in limbo as the province of Ontario makes another attempt to end the arrangement.
The case is to be heard today in Toronto.
The authorities are seeking to overturn a decision by the Health Services Appeal and Review Board to allow extended healthcare coverage for Denville Clarke and Kenroy Williams.
Williams and Clarke had been seriously injured in a road accident in August 2012.
However, as the two men were working under the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program, their Ontario Health Insurance Plan coverage was originally slated to expire on December 15, at the end of the agricultural season that year.
Their employer attempted to return them to Jamaica after the accident despite their serious medical conditions and before they could receive adequate health care.
However, the Health Services Appeal and Review Board ruled that extraordinary circumstances such as medical emergencies could prevent farm workers from returning to their country of origin at the end of their work permits.
Commenting on the latest court action, Chris Ramsaroop of lobby group, Justice for Migrant Workers said the Province's litigation is scapegoating migrants as drains on its resources.

An American family has filed a lawsuit against the nation’s public utility authorities, valued at $ 100 million, alleging that they caused the death of their 11-year-old son.
The lawsuit was charged with gross negligence that caused the death of a child, whose family suspects that he suffered from hypothermia when the heating and electricity of their caravan were cut off during the recent historical storm.
According to ABC News, the victim’s mother, Christian Pineda, filed a lawsuit in Jefferson County Courthouse against the Texas Electricity Reliability Board (ERCOT) and the Texas Energy Providers Entergy, claiming that the giants of public utilities. They accumulate profits at the expense of people’s well-being, ”by ignoring previous recommendations regarding the need to prepare their electricity network for the winter, which suffered a catastrophic failure last week and left more than 4 million customers without heating and electricity, as temperatures dropped in some parts of the state. To number one.
According to the lawsuit, the child, Christian, died last Tuesday in his family’s caravan of Conroy in Houston, while he was sharing a bed with his 3-year-old brother under a pile of blankets, in an attempt to stay warm.
“This boy died for no reason other than the company’s decisions,” said the Pineda family’s lawyer, Tony Bozbey. There are a lot of decisions taken long ago, which led to the death of this child, this is unacceptable.
Busby indicated that he now represents 7 families who lost loved ones as a result of the harsh weather, and said that more lawsuits will be filed against the electricity companies, adding that: “Christian’s lawsuit is the first and it should be the first, this child will change Texas, and God bless.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott confirmed today, Sunday, that tens of thousands of people are still without electricity in the state so far.
Abbott said, “About 30,000 people in Texas are still without electricity after an unprecedented and fatal polar storm.”

A very lucky tortoiseshell cat survived an hour in a sunken boat and was not discovered until the following day when a mechanic got the surprise of his life upon discovering her.
The Havasu News-Herald and other local media outlets reported on the story after River, as she is being called, was found in a small craft that sank in Lake Havasu, Arizona over the weekend.
The boat’s owner, who says she is not his cat and he had no idea she was aboard, hauled it from Southern California to the lake before taking it out on the water.
After being overcome by waves, the boat ended up submerged near a sandbar in about 15 feet of water, where it sat for nearly an hour before workmen who were already on the lake came to haul it out and away.
The kitty is thought to have survived, trapped in the ski locker compartment, thanks to an air bubble formed when the boat sank with the bow end pointing upwards.
She was taken by animal control and transferred to the Western Arizona Humane Society.
Kitty’s rescue was set into motion Saturday afternoon when the Mojave County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call from the boat’s passengers and Dive Time Recovery was contacted to haul the boat from the lake and take it to a mechanic’s shop.
Dive Time’s Jon Zuccala raised the boat with his son, pumped some water from the engine, then dropped it off at the mechanic’s. He spoke with reporters after the surprising discovery and said no one knew the cat was aboard.
“In the morning, the mechanic found the cat,” Zuccala told BuzzFeed for their story. “It scared him.”
“The cat was trapped, hungry, wet and scared,” Zucalla told the News-Heraldsaid. “I’ve been doing this for 15 years, and I’ve never found a live animal on a sunken boat. She was down there for an hour. It’s miraculous that she survived.”
“It was one of those old-style power boats, with a big compartment in the front end,” Zucalla said. “You pack your cooler and all of your supplies into the front end. The cat could have climbed in and gotten trapped there when [owner Genaro Rudaldava] left from Orange County, California on Friday or Saturday. This is a miracle — that we were on the lake when the Sheriff’s Department called us, and we found the wreck in time.”
“When she first came in, she was very scared,” Tasha Draper, from the Western Arizona Humane Society, said. “Now she’s started to open up. She got very lucky.”
River is not microchipped, so the shelter is waiting for five days before making her available for adoption.
Watch the KSAZ report on the story, below. Jon Zuccala tells about the surprising discovery of the trapped cat.

Ice Cream Party
Party, Styling, Text and Photos by Sara Schmutz of Confetti Sunshine
“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!”
Since we found ourselves singing that little tune every time we started planning this ice cream party, we ran with it and created an ice cream party theme based off of our favorite childhood tune. We created a fun free printable engineering print poster to help carry our ice cream theme to the party. Then, we bunched balloons in our party color palette (sky blue, yellow, coral, red, and ice cream scoop!) to frame our dessert table.
Create an ice cream bar where guests can create their own ice cream flavor. Download our free printable ice cream label to place on the ice cream containers that you can pick up at a local restaurant store.
- Download and print out the free printable on to sticker paper.
- Cut out the circles and stick them on each ice cream container. There is space for your guests to write their created ice cream “flavor” as well as their name in the white space of the sticker.
Some of the ingredients that we had on hand for our guests were: vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, mint ice cream, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, fudge syrup, caramel sauce, our favorite gummy candies, nuts, mini peanut butter cups, mint chips, and more! We also had a few little snacking candies on hand for our guests.
Find the step-by-step instructions on all the elements in this party here:
Note: Adult supervision is required when using balloons. Please read all warnings and precautions on the Balloon Time carton.

TalkTalk has joined forces with Get Safe Online in an effort to cut the number of people falling victim to scammers.
According to the two organisations, the number of telephone and internet scams are currently at a record high.
TalkTalk and Get Safe Online have therefore set up a new nationwide awareness and education drive called Beat the Scammers to help consumers better protect themselves.
This includes an online hub (talktalk.co.uk/beatthescammers) containing guidance and advice, as well as a video outlining common tactics used by scammers and an interactive quiz allowing people to test their ability to spot a deception.
TalkTalk has also reminded consumers about its list of things it would never do in customer communications.
For instance, it said it would never use a person's TalkTalk account number to prove a call is genuine or ask customers to provide their full password - instead they would only be asked for two digits in order to protect their security.
TalkTalk's guidelines also state that nobody will be asked for their bank details to process a refund, as this information is already registered on its systems.
Furthermore, it said it would never ask anybody to send it money through services such as Western Union or Moneygram, as scammers only do this to stop transactions from being traced back to them.
Tristia Harrison, Managing Director at TalkTalk's consumer division, commented: "We know we have a responsibility to help protect our customers and we’re determined to play our part in combating this growing problem. Traditionally the onus has been put on individuals to stay vigilant.
"But these increasingly sophisticated crimes are now affecting the whole country on an unprecedented scale - no one business, agency or individual can beat it on their own. We need nationwide action to take the fight to the scammers and make sure the online world is a safe place to play, work and stay connected."
Tony Neate, Chief Executive of Get Safe Online, added that many people fall victim to scams because they believe it will never happen to them.
This, he warned, is giving criminals the upper hand. Mr Neate said Get Safe Online is therefore very pleased to be working with TalkTalk to raise awareness of this "growing menace".
He urged anyone who is contacted out of the blue, seemingly by a company they trust, and asked to act urgently to be suspicious.
Mr Neate said criminals create panic in order to override people's common sense, which means consumers must trust their instincts and "think twice before handing over any information".

Background: With outbreaks of new respiratory viruses such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and swine-origin influenza A/H1N1, the nucleic acid-based amplification test was introduced to identify causative agents. Multiplex PCR, which can simultaneously detect various respiratory pathogens, is currently used worldwide. Recently, a new type of multiplexed molecular test using a fully automated workflow system was developed, which was also adapted to our laboratory. In this study, we assessed improvements in laboratory practice brought about by the implementation of the rapid test for the detection of respiratory viruses.
Methods: We investigated the number of routine and rapid tests conducted as well as the change in monthly test frequency of the routine test. We also analyzed the waiting time, turnaround time, and lead time for the routine and rapid tests. The Anyplex II RV16 detection kit (Seegene, Seoul, Korea) and Filmarray Respiratory Panel (BioFire Diagnostics, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT, USA) were used for the routine and rapid tests, respectively.
Results: Compared to the routine test, the rapid test significantly (p < 0.01) decreased the mean waiting time (1 hour 46 minutes), turnaround time (1 hour 45 minutes), and lead time (3 hours 32 minutes). After the implementation of the rapid test, the number of routine tests conducted was reduced over the 5-month period, from 13 times a month to 3 times a month.
Conclusions: The implementation of the rapid test for the detection of respiratory viruses improved the diagnostic efficiency of the laboratory and greatly reduced lead time.
