Remember the Math Adventurer’s Rule: Figure it out for yourself! Whenever I give a problem in an Alexandria Jones story, I will try to post the answer soon afterward. But don’t peek! If I tell you the answer, you miss out on the fun of solving the puzzle. So if you haven’t worked these problems yet, go back to the original posts. Figure them out for yourself — and then check the answers just to prove that you got them right.
Leonhard’s Block Puzzles
Puzzle #1: Each block has 6 faces, 3 of which meet at every corner. Leon painted all his blocks the same way. He made the 3 sides that meet at one corner red and those that meet at the opposite corner forest green. When he puts the 8 blocks together, he can arrange them so that either the red or the green corners are showing.
Puzzle #2: As Alex and Leon calculated, there are 162 faces on the 27 small blocks. These are enough to cover the surface area of the larger cube 3 times. Therefore, at least in theory, there should be a way to paint these faces that would allow Alex to have her three-color puzzle cube. But how? Ah, that is puzzle #4…
Puzzle #3: Leon needed to cut a cube of wood into 27 smaller blocks to make the puzzle for his sister. If he carefully clamped the pieces back together after cutting them, the absolute minimum number of cuts he would have to make is 6, along the lines shown in the picture. In real life, it is easier to make a few extra cuts than to keep all the little pieces clamped.
Puzzle #4: Alex wanted to paint her puzzle teal, purple, and pale yellow. For each color, she will need 8 corner blocks with three faces painted, 12 edge blocks with two faces painted, and 6 blocks with one face painted. [Can you see each type of block on the cube above?) When a block has more than one face the same color, these faces must meet each other at an edge or corner.
This makes a total of 26 blocks for each color. The block in the very center of the cube will not show, so it will not have any faces painted in the exterior color. Alex and Leon will have to paint the blocks like this:
- 3 center blocks can be painted, each with 2 corner colors, as on Leon’s puzzle #1. The block that is painted with three teal faces and three yellow faces will go in the center of the purple puzzle cube, etc. This takes care of 2 out of the 8 corner cubes needed for each color.
- Each color needs 6 more corners, for a total of 18 blocks. On each of these blocks, paint the extra sides 2 of one color and 1 of the other. For instance, on the 6 blocks with a purple corner, paint 3 of them with a teal edge (2 faces) and a single yellow face. Paint the other 3 just the opposite, with two yellow faces that meet at an edge, plus single teal face. [Other combinations will also work. Just make sure to end up with 6 single faces and 6 edges of each color.] This finishes all the corner blocks, and it also supplies all the single-face blocks needed in each color.
- Finally, the last 6 blocks must each be painted as edgers in all 3 colors. Each of these will have 2 yellow sides, 2 purple sides, and 2 teal sides — and remember that the matching sides must meet at an edge!
Alex’s and Leon’s Homeschool Puzzle
The trick to solving this problem is to realize that the boy would not count himself among the brothers, nor the girl count herself as a sister. The new family has 7 children: 3 boys and 4 girls.

No mask mandate in La Crosse County at this time, health director says
The Coulee COVID-19 Collaborative addressed the public regarding the community's situation with COVID-19 Friday
LA CROSSE COUNTY (WKBT) – For the first time in months, the Coulee COVID-19 Collaborative held a media briefing addressing the public regarding the community’s situation with COVID-19.
Despite experts recommending masks, health director Audra Martine says La Crosse County will not mandate them inside public areas.
“At this time, it’s more common across the state of Wisconsin to not have a mask mandate,” Martine said.
But Martine does not rule it out.
“If we find that that’s something that we find is the best option for La Crosse, it would be considered,” Martine said.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, the current seven-day average of cases in La Crosse County is among the highest since the pandemic began.
Currently, the weekly average in the county stands at 197.
“Assume the people out there who feel fine walking around, at least 10 percent of those are infected,” Gundersen Health System CEO Dr. Scott Rathgaber said.
Health experts say they are not exactly sure when the Omicron variant will peak.
“I think there’s some hope that by mid-month, or towards the latter half of the month, we’ll see a peak and then a fall,” Mayo Clinic Health System Regional Vice President Dr. Paul Mueller said.
The surge is causing strain to area hospitals and schools.
La Crosse School District superintendent Aaron Engel says facilities are going through “significant absences” with both students and staff.
Logan Middle School paused in-person learning for part of the week due to a lack of substitute teachers.
“It is more and more challenging to keep our community and our schools running with these staffing shortages,” Engel said.
Engel says the district’s safety policies — including wearing masks — have led to very little virus transmission in schools.
“We feel comfortable with kids when they’re at school with the procedures that we have in place,” Engel said.
Engel also says virtual learning is still an option, but a last resort.
Officials will be evaluating each school on a case by case basis.
The plan is to keep kids in school because that’s where they learn best.
“We also know that when students are at home, it creates an additional burden for parents and leads to other staffing issues across our community,” Engel said.
Engel says La Crosse school leaders do not intend to close the entire district again unless there is a broader statewide shut down.
Both Gundersen and Mayo leaders say each healthcare system will not be requiring booster shots for staff at this time.

“I want you to have this.” He extended his hand. On his palm sat the beautiful butterfly he had carved. Silver spots on the wings glinted in the sunlight, and a silver chain hung from a small hole drilled into its body.
Valek looped the necklace around my neck. “When I carved this statue, I was thinking about you. Delicate in appearance, but with a strength unnoticed at first glance.” His eyes met mine.”

Newsmax TV – Former Ambassador Ric Grenell comments on Kamala Harris’ treatment by the media over the course of her career leading up to being in the Biden administration, and reacts to ‘jokes’ made by she and President Biden at the Naval Academy graduation which didn’t get responses they may have hoped for.
There is no way millions of Americans chose Biden and Harris. No way!
The only joke is that Kamala Harris is the first female Vice president of the United States.

Berlin (Reuters) – According to the German Energy Agency for the energy transition, the federal government must plan the lines for gas, hydrogen and electricity together in the future.
In a study published on Tuesday, the state agency Dena argued that integrated planning, together with the acceleration of permits, helps to develop the infrastructure efficiently . Ultimately, the long-distance and local heat supply in the regions must also be taken into account. This requires a system development plan (SEP), in which the federal government, the states, network operators, an expert committee and the citizens themselves should all participate. This SEP must be anchored in law. With the new government’s plans to shut down coal-fired power plants as early as 2030, the challenges are growing: “The pressure in the boiler is just very high,” said Dena boss Andreas Kuhlmann.
The Dena study also suggests that the existing natural gas network should be used primarily for transporting the increasing amounts of hydrogen, in which there will be more and more free capacity as a result of the switch to climate-friendly fuels. In order to make better use of all networks, the government must also reform taxes and duties. If, for example, charges were staggered more precisely according to the times the networks were used, lines could be utilized more efficiently. However, the focus of the burden on energy sources must always be on their greenhouse gas emissions. In order to secure the supply, additional incentives for those energy suppliers who compensate for fluctuating feed-ins, for example with wind or solar power, will be necessary in the future.
The conversion to the growing amounts of wind and solar power made it necessary to expand the transmission grids, especially from north to south. However, this one is making slow progress. With the planned faster phase-out of coal, the previous plans for several thousand kilometers of networks have to be accelerated.

If you live in Melbourne and love Ivy Style, the ACMI theatre is hosting a four-day screening of A Modernist, Jason Jules’ film about the life and times of John Simons. John Simons is often described as the patron saint of English Ivy for how he introduced traditional American clothes to English shores. For the last sixty years, he’s been a steadfast evangelist of things such as J. Keydge natural shouldered jackets, Florsheim Imperial brogues, Bass penny loafers, button-down shirts, and other things Ivy. And in doing so, he’s also made a big impact on British tastes. For the last three generations, mods, suedeheads, and skinheads (a term for a section of working class youths before the name became associated with racists) have gone to John Simons to look street-smart and well-heeled.
A Modernist has been tremendously popular since its release this past spring. “The film has sold pretty much everywhere however, which is both surprising and reassuring,” says Jules. “We always knew we were making a London film when we started the John Simons project, but also felt that, like his influence, the film would connect with people in other cities around the world too. So it’s satisfying to see it appealing to people not only up and down the UK, but also in places such as Paris, Tokyo, New York, Copenhagen and of course Melbourne. One thing that has been a surprise — to me at least — is the number of students who seem to be catching on to the film and getting inspired by John’s story.”
The Australian premiere is happening on Saturday, September 1st, at the ACMI theatre. Subsequent showings will happen on September 3rd, 6th, and 9th. Readers can check out the schedule at ACMI. Tickets are available for purchase online for $18, although you can knock that down to $12 with the checkout code Gerry. (Gerry, who’s one of our readers, is organizing the screening. We’ve featured him a few times in our Real People series).
Jason tells us he’s working on more international screenings, and they’ll be happening in the near future. Readers can keep up with the film’s schedule at Mono Media.
Lastly, ACMI is screening a bunch of other films related to fashion, including We Margiela, which looks at the enigmatic and somewhat secretive fashion house Maison Martin Margiela.


Though it has much to crow about in both sales and quality, Toyota may be stretching itself, according to some analysts. Recalls have been on the rise. To date, Toyota has received 20 reports of defects in the Tundra's 5.7-liter V8 due to a problem with the camshaft. This could be a blow to the company’s U.S. sales targets of some 200,000 trucks this year.

Protests planned against ASU smoking ban
Protests are planned at Arizona State University campuses over the school’s new proposed smoking ban.
The ban will go into place next year and restricts smoking throughout ASU’s various campuses.
A group called Students for Liberty is organizing the Nov. 14 protests, saying the smoking ban violates individual liberties.
The group hopes to get 400 students to their protests, which will occur at ASU campuses in Tempe, downtown Phoenix, west Phoenix and Mesa.
Maricopa Community Colleges and a number of other schools throughout the country have also instituted restrictive bans on smoking.

But Bell told his audience that he had been amazed at the reaction to his endorsement of Obama during Friday night's show. He was barraged with "intensely racial" fastblasts. Fastblasts are messages that can be sent through the Coast to Coast website to allow listeners to give feedback during the show. Bell said the response was "totally racial and bigoted beyond all belief."
He said it appears to be anonymity that gives listeners the nerve to make such comments.
Bell is raising a mixed race daughter, Asia, whom he had with his Filipino wife.
Friday, March 28, 2008
"I think I'm an Obama guy," Bell said during his opening remarks on the show. Then he repeated himself, explaining that after listening to the speeches and "watching the sparks fly" between Barack and Clinton, he believed himself to be "an Obama guy."
"I like Obama", Bell added later in the show. "I think Obama has the ability to bring this country together in a way that has not been done since John Kennedy."
Bell, a self-described Libertarian who had earlier in the primaries praised Republican Ron Paul for his "revolutionary" ideas, commented last night on John McCain becoming the Republican candidate for President. "I've always liked John McCain but would have liked him to achieve that last time."
Bell's endorsement of Obama carries weight, even though Bell now only does the occasional Coast to Coast show. Bell built up a loyal, almost cult-like, following during his years as regular host of the show which not only focuses on UFOs and the paranormal but has a steady stream of interviews with political authors and scientists.

But Wilders released Fitna today, a video warning that Islam and the Koran pose a threat to western freedoms and it is time to wake up. “Islam and the Koran are a danger for freedom in the Netherlands in the long term and I need to warn for that,” Wilders said on NOS television today.
Wilders, a critic of immigration, founded the increasingly popular Freedom Party under the slogan, "Stop the Islamization of The Netherlands.''
This video is of interest to Canadians watching the attempted Islamization of our tradition of free speech. Ezra Lavant, a former publisher hauled in front of the Alberta Human Rights Commission to face a complaint by a Muslim Iman for running cartoons of the prophet Mohammed, achieved hero status when he took on the Commission for "applying Saudi values in Canada".
Watch the video the Dutch government did not want you to see.

There were no Vancouver Police on the scene the entire time. At around 4 p.m., one police officer drove by in a squad car, turning toward the police station just around the corner on Main. He didn't seem concerned about the mayhem. "Shift change," said a bystander.
Multiple lanes of cars were headed in the direction of pedestrians walking in the crosswalks. One woman with her baby in a stroller was talking to a male friend on her left, not realizing that three cars were coming at her from her right. The drivers did see her and slowed as she suddenly saw them and darted to the safety of the sidwalk.
The drivers were actually quite courteous. The fact that they were crossing against red lights may have made them more willing to yield to pedestrians.
Where were the police?
Friday, March 21, 2008
The Vancouver Police Emergency Response Team entered Jubilee Rooms at 235 Main St. on the Downtown Eastside this Good Friday evening. Eighteen cops were in the building, the desk clerk told tenants standing outside. Jubilee Rooms, formerly known as New Zealand Rooms is on Main St., between Cordova and Powell St., across from the courthouse.
A man "somehow got a key" to the place, a witness said. "That place is locked 24 hours a day. They can't figure out how he got a key." He managed to get past the male desk clerk and beat up his ex-girlfriend who lives there. The desk clerk called the police.
The man then barricaded himself in the washroom on the 1st floor. A male cop on a cell phone on the scene said the man apparently had a long knife.
Police brought out the ex-girlfriend. She was holding her hand and wrist up, as though she were favoring them. "Maybe her wrist got twisted," a witness speculated. Police put her in the back of the squad car. She was not handcuffed. "She wasn't crying," says a witness, "but she did look a bit shocked." A witness who arrived at this point says this was about 5:50 p.m. and the incident "must have happened just before that." It would not end until 7:55 p.m.
A cop said on his cell phone that the suspect had threatened suicide. He had said he wanted to kill himself and had been thinking about it for a while.
A large white truck arrived carrying Emergency Response Team equipment in the back. Some police officers went to the trunks of their cars and suited up with body armour, others went to the white truck and suited up. A driver and passenger got out of the white truck and entered the building with guns that, according to a witness, "resembled miniature AK47s". "Are those bean bag guns?", a witness asked a female cop passing by on horseback and chatting with people on the street. She said they were, adding that police try to avoid using lethal force when possible.
"You should have seen the arsenol!", says a witness, "when the cops came back down [the stairs of the building] and they put all their weapons on the cars." The cops were laughing and joking as they came out of the Jubilee, possibly out of relief said the witness.
The suspect was brought out alive.

It happened this afternoon at around 3:30 when a bunch of Vancouver Police officers were standing in front of the Carnegie Center at Main and Hastings. A guy rode across the crosswalk on his bike and then west on Hastings St. on the sidewalk. A cop approached him, took out his ticket book and wrote down the guy's information. Then he handed him a ticket.
The bylaw probiting bicycling on the sidewalk needs to be enforced more often. Bicyclists are becoming an increasing menace on the sidewalk.
When I told a friend of mine this evening about police issuing the ticket, he told me what he had seen a bicyclist do on Main St. in Chinatown. A guy on a bike, wearing a blue helmet, rode fast toward a crowd of people waiting to board the bus. The people scurried out of the way.
"I saw the same thing! On Main Street in Chinatown!", I told him. "I just wrote about it today [in a draft of this post]. What did the guy look like?" He was middle aged, my friend told me.
The guy I saw didn't look more than 32 years old. It was a few months ago, about 5:30 a.m., and this guy, with his helmet on, was bicycling fast toward a cluster of people boarding a bus. They scattered like pigeons.
On three or four occasions, I have called out to bicyclists on Main St. not to ride on the sidewalk. One guy yelled in my face as he whizzed past me, "Fuck off!" I have resigned myself now to the fact that the bicyclists own the sidewalk. I just move over.
I am thinking along the same lines as a guy who was quoted in the "rant" section of the Westender newspaper advising pedestrians to get into the habit of walking along the curb so that bicyclists can have the sidewalk all to themselves.
It continues to amaze me that bicyclists put on their expensive gear so that they feel safe and confident riding their bikes . . . on the sidewalk. They think they're "green" but they're not; they're yellow cowards.

Believe it or not, they turned out the lights and locked the door.
After the door had been locked for a couple of hours, a volunteer opened it as a favor to people in a jam with no internet access. But he is not a regular volunteer in the computer room.
That's the problem at Carnegie with its multi-million dollar budget: the poor have to beg and cajole somebody into providing computer services that the Center is richly funded to provide.
Staff always have an excuse for not opening the doors. The current flavor of the week is that staff person Colleen Gorrie is off sick. They're like children; they must be watched constantly. The only excuse they haven't yet used is that the dog ate their homework.
Did I mention that the Sunday evening before last, the poor were locked out of the computer room as well?
The Great Taxpayer Rip-off at Carnegie continues. It is not only CUPE members who are responsible but the City's manager at Carnegie, Ethel Whitty, and her City Hall boss Jacquie Forbes-Roberts.
If you are even suspected of tattletaling to the taxpayer about locked doors by discussing the issue on the internet, Forbes-Roberts will succumb to pressure from Carnegie staff to bar you from the building. Don't believe me? Ask William Simpson who was barred "indefinitely" in a letter signed by Forbes-Roberts and hand delivered to him by Ethel Whitty and CUPE member Dan Tetrault.
Billionaire Jimmy Pattison, who has an office about ten blocks west of Carnegie, should now have spots for the likes of CUPE, Whitty, and Forbes-Roberts. He just bought "Ripley's Believe It Or Not".

Today there was a sign in the lobby of the Carnegie Community Center announcing that the Squamish Nation would be hosting a traditional native feast of salmon, bannock, and two types of soup at Oppenheimer Park at 2 p.m. on March 16.
Several people left Carnegie and walked over to the park, arriving at 2:20 p.m., but didn't find any sign of a traditional native feast.
I figured there had been a mistake. But a middle aged aboriginal man saw it differently: "Somebody must have pulled a prank," he said calmly. "to make the Squamish Nation look bad."
Christians were there though, giving out soup from there slightly corny white van (see top photo) with words painted in black across the side: "Jesus Loves You". When I see that van around the neighborhood, it reminds me of a woman from Nova Scotia interviewed on Coast to Coast radio about a near death experience in which a figure of light told her, "Don't ever think you're not loved."

A "Top Class Limousine" tour bus was at the bottom of it's class tonight when it had a pedestrian under it's wheel. The 68 year old pedestrian was struck by the bus shortly before 9 p.m. as it turned north off Hastings onto Main St., by the Pathways Job Search Center. A witness who passed by shortly after the accident, said, "They had to take him out from under the wheel." (The pedestrian can be seen lying under a white sheet at the left of the photo above.)
The bus appeared empty of passengers.
At least one security guard came to help from the Carnegie Community Center across the street. The pedestrian still had a pulse but as a police officer entering the Carnegie Center said, "It doesn't look good." He died shortly afterwards at the scene. He did not die enroute to hospital as CTV television reported. He was put into a wine colored body bag at the scene and loaded into the coroner's van.
A bearded VPD Constable wearing a turban (on right of photo above) stood behind the yellow tape across the street from the accident to make sure nobody violated that boundry. But his skills as a community-friendly cop were less than stellar; he was defensive and snooty when a local resident politely asked him if he could walk on the Main Street sidewalk to get home. That same Constable was standing by the yellow tape at the Cambie Hotel on February 15th, the night Steve Seymour was shot to death.
Carnegie's Director, Ethel Whitty, has an office just meters away. But she seems to do little to ensure that this taxpayer funded service remains open at all times.

On her radio show today, Dr. Laura Schlessinger was laughing. On the topic of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer being caught using a high-priced hooker service, The Today Show had interviewed a call girl to ask why husbands go to prostitutes. Dr. Laura was thrilled to learn that this "whore" gave the same advice she had been giving. It was advice Dr. Laura says she has been relentlessly attacked on blogs for daring to give.
According to Dr. Laura, the call girl said that if a woman doesn't want her guy to go to a prostitute, she should "put more energy into the relationship". The theme of Dr. Laura's book, "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands", is that the modern women is neglecting her husband and may live to regret it.Dr. Laura loves to give air time to anybody who antecdotally supports her book's thesis. Several times a week, she reads an email from a man who says he left his wife because she wasn't treating him like he had much value, and from a wife who says she regrets treating her husband like he was an afterthought, now that he has left.
Dr. Laura was giddy throughout her show today.
Dr. Laura and the call girl may have part of the truth, but only part in my opinion. I think there are a multitude of reasons why men use prostitutes, not the least of which is that men have trouble with monogomy because they're not hard-wired for it.

But what she and her federal government co-workers don't seem to have figured out is that verbal abuse is not an employable skill.

Last Friday evening and the Sunday evening before that, Carnegie staff locked Downtown Eastside residents out of the computer room which contains much-in-demand public access computers. That's two four hour shifts, a total of eight hours of computer services, lost. Sunday evenings are the busiest time for the computer room with people preparing to start the new week. This evening the room was open.
There is no excuse for those responsible for keeping the computer room open -- Colleen Gorrie and Sindi, along with Director Ethel Whitty -- to be operating by the seat of their pants. When they lock people out of services, they always have the same excuse: "No volunteer showed up." They have a multi-million dollar budget but they can't function without a volunteer. Why can't Colleen or Ethel sit in the computer room themselves? After all, they're getting a pay cheque to keep those services open. There are surprisingly few services at Carnegie considering the millions that the taxpayer sinks into that place. The third floor has only a computer room and a Learning Center, the latter being co-operated by Capilano College. The second floor has a gym which is generally deserted except for a volleyball game once or twice a week, and a cafeteria which gets a lot of traffic.
Even the cafeteria has a performance problem, although it is still one of the most reliable services in the building. It often has good soups and recently I was told they had a good roast beef dinner. But there have been times in recent weeks when the cupboards have been bare. I went in one evening after the dinner hour and all they had to feed the line up of people was breakfast cereal and a few pastries. No soups. No sandwiches. Then they ran out of cereal!
A friend of mine went into the cafeteria today to buy a muffin for fifty cents but they were out, so she bought a piece of chocolate cake for eighty cents. It was so stale, she couldn't eat it. I tasted it too. Deadly stale.
That is not to say there are not people working tirelessly behind the scenes at Carnegie. The Board of Directors recently arranged a secret meeting for which minutes, if they exist at all, are unavailable. And Board members won't say what the topic of the meeting was. Either the Carnegie Director or Assistant Director would have attended this on camera meeting, as a City representative attends all meetings involving Carnegie Board members.
Speculation is that the meeting was about Rachel Davis, a Board member who was not able to attend, but has irked Carnegie Board members and management by speaking up on behalf of low income Carnegie members who elected her. Davis has been ostracized for speaking up in defense of Bill Simpson when he was banned from this City building, accused of doing what we are doing here, tattletaling to the taxpayer via a blog about services that are paid for but not delivered.
A Downtown Eastside resident heard sirens and went over. There was a sign on the door saying that the bank was closed due to an "Emergency". A guy in a suit standing inside the door was telling customers they could not enter. The Downtown Eastside resident asked, "Was there a robbery?" "Yes", the man in the suit responded, "But we got the guy."
There were two police ghost cars there at the time the Downtown Eastside resident arrived. Police officers were inside.
Noory didn't mention the jam Brown had gotten into last year on his own show. I was listening to Brown on Coast to Coast when it happened. It was during a period when, if I remember correctly, there was a great deal of media attention on miners in the U.S. who were buried and rescuers were working to save them. Brown said -- my memory is not 100% on the details here -- that the miners were no longer alive. But a few minutes later news came in that the miners had been found alive. Noory pointed out to Brown that this news contradicted what she had said. She insisted that it was in fact what she had said. So Noory played the audio tape a few times for the audience and told us we could decide for ourselves. Although Brown's words had not been precise on the original tape, it seemed clear to me that she had been wrong.
There may be times when people have psychic moments. But I have never known what to make of Sylvia Brown. Terry Johnson, a bright guy and committed skeptic who lived on the Downtown Eastside who has since died of a heroin overdose, thought Sylvia Brown was a complete fake. I talked to him a few years ago about seeing her on Larry King Live and he said King was "gullible". I have a psychic prediction: Sylvia Brown is finished on Coast to Coast.

Grounding, also known as earthing, is an ancient practice which continues to be researched and applauded for several important health benefits. It is fast gaining scientific recognition in the mainstream.
There are many advocates, doctors and researchers who have continued to study grounding as a natural and free way to replenish electrons, enabling their flow back into one’s body. This balances one’s internal system and helps contribute to a more normal state of homeostasis. Dr. Stephen T. Sinatra is one such acclaimed physician who has studied and proven the positive impact of grounding. effects?
Who is Stephen Sinatra?
Stephen Sinatra, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.A.C.N., C.N.S., C.B.T, is a renowned, board-certified cardiologist, author of 22 books and one of the grounding pioneers. He has dedicated many years to research along with others. He believes and has stated enthusiastically that grounding / earthing is “the most important health discovery ever!"
Stephen’s grounding journey began many years ago and escalated when his son, Step Sinatra, was in the hospital for 40 days back in 2007 with debilitating pain, in failing health and fast losing battles to regain his robust stature. At the recommendation from his father, Step began grounding, daily – and among several other medical and alternative protocols, he noticed life-changing results. Fast forward to 2021. Step has become one of the top recognized spokespeople in the field of grounding. He has dedicated a large part of his life to research, studies and creating awareness, just as his father did. This led to their joint venture creating, grounded.com, a leading website with vast information on the amazing benefits of living a grounded lifestyle.
Dr. Sinatra has been in clinical practice for more than 40 years and has been praised for his integrative medical approach to treating even the most serious cardiovascular cases. He is a fellow of the American College of Nutrition and is critical of the “great cholesterol myth” – believing the real problem lies in the over-prescribing of statin drugs. He also created an amazing high vibrational food company, vervana (we love his tasty and very healthy offerings.)
Stephen has appeared on Dr. Oz, PBS, CNN, and a litany of other talk shows and publications.
He advocates for regular exercise, anti-inflammatory dietary patterns, supplementation, detoxification, and stress reduction. He also believes, that through grounding, one can optimize blood viscosity. High blood viscosity, simply stated in lay terms, can lead to an increased risk for cardiovascular issues, which can cause the heart to work harder to supply blood throughout the body. Before we can understand how grounding affects blood viscosity, we must first understand what it in fact is.
What is Blood Viscosity?
Blood viscosity is the thickness and stickiness of your blood. Think of molasses - a thick, sticky, viscous substance that does not flow easily. There is a reason it’s used in the adage “slower than molasses”. <
Imagine your blood being molasses. To push such a thick substance through your veins, your heart must work harder than it should. This can ultimately lead to serious complications, cardiac arrest, and in the worst cases, death.
How Can Grounding Help with Blood Viscosity?
Grounding is connecting with the earth to replenish and recharge our biological systems by enabling the flow of nourishing electrons back not one’s physical body. Electron charges from the earth can have a number of positive impacts on the body.
According to Cardiovascular Physiology Concepts, by Richard E. Klabunde, Ph.D., blood plasma is water, however, it carries other substances, like proteins, electrolytes, and electrons.
Consider one of the main benefits and science behind grounding; it is the utilization of free electrons from the earth to act as antioxidants in the body. It is not farfetched to conclude that by increasing that number of blood electrons, you then increase blood flow?
This study from the National Library of Medicine, conducted over the course of 15 years, showed that patients dealing with hypertension (high blood pressure) who took to grounding showed an average decrease of 14.3% in systolic (heart contractions to pump blood) rates.
The evidence further shows that grounding decreases the work rate of your heart. It stands to reason that if the heart is not working overtime, and functioning optimally, blood viscosity is maximized via the increase in electron activity.
How You Can Implement Grounding in Your Day-to-Day
The popularity of Grounding has made it a long way into the mainstream over the last decade. Skeptics still exist, however, despite a growing body of scientific evidence. Naysayers are often quick to deny the benefits of many things “natural” and also “free”.
Ready to try grounding for yourself? There are several ways, inside and outdoors. One of the best ways is to take your shoes and socks off and go sink your barefoot into the grass for 20-30 minutes. Bare skin, feet especially, on the ground, is the fastest way to get grounded.
There are several other free methods as well: work with bare hands, or on bare knees, while gardening – at least for a portion of the time. Wade in the water’s edge – be it the ocean, a lake, or a pond -- any body of water and you will benefit.
When indoors, take a bubble bath and let the water trickle in though the faucet. Hold your hand over a stainless kitchen sink faucet while running water. And for those of us who like a little pampering, a pedicure is also grounding if your tootsies are bathing in an electrically powered tub.
If you feel better, regardless of what your ailment(s) might be, you can try any of the following grounding equipment on the market and optimize your overall health, wellbeing, and yes, blood viscosity, improving your heart health. There is a range of interior products you can use indoors, plugging into a grounding port. That’s the single hole underneath the two electrical prong areas in an outlet. Grounding mats are perfect for the office under a computer; Grounding pads, patches, and bands also are helpful.
And of course, there are our shoes ---HARMONY783’s. They are stylish and extremely comfortable and are grounding when walking directly on an earth’s surface (grass, sand, soil, brick unsealed tile. And yes, concrete (as counter intuitive as this seems, concert is merely reconstituted sand and water.) Our shoes, we are told, are exclusively worn by Stephen and Step Sinatra – and Steve’s wife as well. We are proud of this accomplishment.
There are also new silver threaded grounding socks which enhance Harmony783’s grounding shoes. They can be effective independently when walking on the ground. HARMONY783.com is your go-to for grounding shoes and socks, while Grounded.com offers grounding mats, pads, sheets, blankets, patches, and bands.
Dr. Stephen T. Sinatra, renowned in his field of cardiology since the ’70s, continues to dedicate many of his years to the research, science, and workshop facilitation to educate the medical community and masses about the benefits of grounding. Thanks to him - and his son Step, too, more people are learning about the many health and wellness benefits of grounding, and making it a part of their daily practice.

A historic film biopic on the poignant life story of the last King of Punjab – Maharajah Duleep Singh – also known as THE BLACK PRINCE, is set for its international release in cinemas on 21st July 2017. See trailer
Produced by Brillstein Entertainment (Academy Award winning film 12 Years A Slave), THE BLACK PRINCE, a period drama written and directed by Hollywood filmmaker Kavi Raz and filmed widely across the UK and India, carefully captures the tragic, yet fascinating true story and legacy of Maharajah Duleep Singh, providing a visual narrative of one of India’s most noble kings, and his fragile relationship with, Queen Victoria, who was Godmother to his children. Acclaimed singer-poet Satinder Sartaaj marks his acting debut in THE BLACK PRINCE, essaying the character of Maharajah Duleep Singh with eloquence.
He is joined by an esteemed cast of acting stalwarts including Jason Flemyng (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch) as Dr. Login, the foster parent for the Maharajah, English stage, screen actress Amanda Root (The Iron Lady), who portrays the bold role of Queen Victoria; and veteran actress Shabana Azmi (City of Joy) as Rani Jindan, the exiled King’s mother. The film also features Keith Duffy, David Essex OBE, Canadian actor Rup Magon and Sophie Stevens in supporting roles.
As the last King of Punjab, THE BLACK PRINCE chronicles Maharajah Duleep Singh’s lifelong struggle and daring journey of self-discovery in order to reclaim his identity, his faith, and the Kingdom that was rightfully his. This ultimately leads him to meeting his mother after 13 years of her being in exile. THE BLACK PRINCE spotlights Queen Victoria’s cordial relationship with Maharajah Duleep Singh, as he begins adjusting and embracing the English culture he was drawn to at the age of 15. The film also sheds light into his upbringing as an aristocrat in the UK who converts to Christianity under the influence of his foster parents, but later longs to return to his Kingdom, mother and roots. His character, as it evolves is torn between two contrasting cultures – his royal ancestry from the Kingdom of Punjab as its last King, set against his upbringing in the UK as he embarks in a new journey of exile, away from his mother.
THE BLACK PRINCE is also poised to create a wave of intrigue in India and the UK as the story touches upon the historically significant and priceless Kohinoor diamond, which was purportedly gifted by a young 13-year-old Maharajah Duleep Singh to Queen Victoria in a ceremony held in 1850, at Buckingham Palace, London. The Black Prince releases internationally in cinemas on 21 st July 2017
Short Synopsis: The King, Maharajah Duleep Singh, was placed on the throne at the age of five only to be robbed of his throne by a bloody treason at the hands of trusted courtiers. He was then torn from his mother and taken to England by the British at age fifteen. While in England, he was introduced to Queen Victoria, who took an immediate liking to him, calling him ‘The Black Prince’. He was indoctrinated into Christianity and baptized, changing his life forever. Meeting his mother again after thirteen years, the Maharajah awakens to the realities of his former life in Punjab. He then begins the arduous journey to regain all that was lost, and re-embrace the faith of his birth, Sikhism. Maharajah Duleep Singh, his character as it evolves, torn between two cultures and facing constant dilemmas as a result. His relationship with Queen Victoria will be the most impactful relationship in the film, the Queen representing the English culture he was drawn into. His lifelong journey to regain his identity, dignity, and Kingdom took him across the world, but his struggle was not met with success, as he never won the chance to set foot again in his own land of Punjab. Maharajah Duleep Singh died in 1893 at the age of 55 years, a lonely pauper in a hotel in Paris. Though a reconverted Sikh, his final wishes were denied even in death as he was buried as a Christian in an English countryside. Efforts by his people to take his remains to the land he once ruled to be cremated as per Sikh rites continue today. Duleep’s devotion and faith inspired following generations to fight until India regained.

When three masked men armed with pistols entered the Luna Star Café in North Miami this past Saturday night, Ira Goldstein, a retired NYPD officer in his late 60s, intervened. Unfortunately Goldstein wound up in the hospital, and the robber made off with money from the cash register and valuables from several customers.
The three men entered the popular café and performance space, located at 775 NE 125th St., around 11:30 Saturday night. They ordered the seven people inside to hand over the cash in their wallets and then to drop to the floor. They also pocketed about $500 from the cash register.
"We kept saying, 'Don't hurt anybody; take what you want,' " owner Alexis Sanfield told the Miami Herald.

Goldstein, a regular at the café, began struggling with one of the crooks before a bullet was fired. He was rushed to Jackson's Ryder Trauma Center in stable condition. Doctors stapled a laceration on his head, and he was released Sunday.
The men took off on foot. No other details have been released. Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.

On Tuesday, The Recording Academy issued a statement ‘confirming’ that Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl will perform a very special collaboration at next week’s ceremony.
Dave, who sang a stunning acoustic version of The Beatles’ Blackbird at The Oscars last year, was apparently lined up to join forces with “Best New Artist contender Anderson .Paak and legendary hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest.”
However, in a hugely embarrassing press release, The Recording Academy have now said that Dave won’t be part of the performance and they “prematurely” and wrongly announced his involvement. Doh!
The full correction reads:
“Earlier this week, we announced that Dave Grohl would be performing with Anderson .Paak and A Tribe Called Quest prior to confirming all participants. Dave Grohl will not be part of this performance. Unfortunately, our announcement was made prematurely. On behalf of The Recording Academy and AEG Ehrlich Productions, we sincerely apologize to all parties involved for our error.”
A true darling of the Grammy Awards, Dave has won 11 gongs with Foo Fighters plus further honours as part of Nirvana (Best Alternative Music Album for MTV Unplugged in 1996) and for his Sound City: Real to Reel soundtrack (Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media and Best Rock Song for ‘Cut Me Some Slack’ in 2014).
The 59th annual Grammy Awards takes place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday 12th February.

Malé, Maldives – The Government of India has made exemptions to allow 7,460 MT of sugar and 12،722 of wheat flour to be delivered to the Maldives despite the export ban on the products as a price stabilization measure in May and June of 2022.
Keeping in view India’s close partnership with the Maldives and the special arrangement for restrictions-free export of staples, the above quantities – to be imported by State Trading Organisation (STO) from India over the next 3-6 months – have been granted the necessary clearances for export.
The Government of India extended the bi-lateral agreement exempting the Maldives from essential commodities export bans imposed by India in 2021 until 2024 in a measure to ensure food security to the island nation.
The Indian government first made the allowance in 2020 amid Covid-19 pandemic to ensure the undisrupted procurement and supply of essential commodities to the Maldives which depends largely on imported products.
The Government of India made exceptions to food items including eggs, potatoes, onions, rice, wheat flour, sugar and dal. Additionally, building materials such as stone aggregates and river sand were also exempted.
The agreement reads that the “export of the above items shall be exempted from any existing or future restriction/prohibition during the agreement period to the Maldives.”

Kings Mountain boy featured in Times Square presentation
Brandi Maples learned of her son Asher's diagnosis when she was 13 weeks pregnant.
"When you first look up Down syndrome on the internet, and you see all of these negative connotations with that," she said. "However, when we joined Facebook groups and got involved with groups like the National Down Syndrome Society, we were able to talk to other parents. And it was quite the opposite. They just felt completely blessed to have a child with Down syndrome."
Now 21-months-old, Asher is, indeed, a blessing, Maples said.
"There was no, Ooh well, he can't do this… He can't do that.' He does everything that every other 21-month-old does,'" she said. "Just like all individuals with Down syndrome, they reach those important milestones, just on a different time table. Our children are the same as typical developing children and deserve all of the inclusion that you would have normally."
In a step toward that inclusion, on Sept. 17, Asher's image will appear as part of the annual National Down Syndrome Society Times Square Video presentation in New York City. The one-hour video, which features around 500 photographs, includes people with Down syndrome from all 50 states.
"It just gives us more of an opportunity to promote inclusion, which is the ultimate goal. It's not so much just about Asher, but for all individuals with Down syndrome," Maples said.
The photo of Asher was selected from more than 2,400 entries, and his photo will be shown on two screens above Dos Caminos restaurant in Times Square. The presentation also will be live streamed on the NDSS Facebook page from 9:30-10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 17.

Concert #50 - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers at the Universal Amphitheater (July 30, 1989)
This time I sat closer to the stage, on the main floor, which they call "orchestra". Just like the first time, I was impressed by the quality of the band. Since then, Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench remained some of my favorite "unsung" musicians and it was a thrill to see them perform, many years later, on separate occasions, in the intimate confines of McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica.
The opening act was an old favorite of mine, Dion DiMucci, better known as Dion. His "Ruby Baby" was one of the earliest songs I remember listening to as a young kid. On stage, he wore a beret, just like the one in the picture. Sadly, I can't remember any of the songs he played that night and the Internet wasn't helpful either.

Australia’s Cable Ties have announced their new album, Far Enough. Ahead of its March 27th via Merge, the record is being previewed with lead single “Sandcastles” and an accompanying black-and-white music video.
Far Enough is the second album from the punk rockers. Armed with unrelenting proto-punk and ’70s hard-rock influences, Cable Ties charge through eight songs that set them up for an international breakthrough. “Sandcastles” is the second single to be released from the record, following “Tell Them Where to Go”, which appeared in a recent episode of 13 Reasons Why.
“Sandcastles” sounds like a crossover of Sleater-Kinney and Screaming Females. On it, the trio — Jenny McKechnie, Shauna Boyle, and Nick Brown — sprint at blistering speed, intercutting guitars and yells in a satisfying, nonstop tradeoff. According to McKechnie, the song is “a criticism of the idea that an effective activist community can be created by shouting down and casting out anyone who doesn’t abide by the social norms or language of an exclusive community or group.” No wonder “Sandcastles” sounds like a pent-up ball of energy exploding at the seams.
In the song’s music video, directed by Danny Cohen, all three members can be seen giving stern, locked-in stares at the camera through a sleek black-and-white visual. Apparently Cohen wanted the music video for “Sandcastles” to be “as clear and direct as possible” — hence the barebones visual comprised of close shots, facial expressions, and the warmth of 16mm. Watch it below.
Next month, Cable Ties will perform on select tour dates around the globe, including stops in Australia, Europe, and the US. Check out the full list of tour dates below.
Pre-orders for Far Enough are ongoing, including limited-edition translucent amber and black swirl vinyl. Underneath Cable Ties’ tour itinerary, check out the album artwork and full tracklist.

From a distance, the dwarf Orban Madaras may be mistaken as a human. Orban plays the intimidating part well. He wears a brigandine made decades ago with durable steel plates forged by the armorers of Mahakam, whose tradition dates back thousands of years. In this time, Orban has had to have the flexible armor repaired, replacing the heavy fabric but keeping the steel plates intact. Recently, Orban commissioned the armorer to add a secret pocket to the brigandine. A pocket where he could keep his lock pick tools. Orban also carried a poniard, a short blade, often confused as a dagger by those who were not familiar with Dwarven weapons. In truth, he rarely used the blade, preferring to dose his victims with chloroform before robbing them of their money pouch.

Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine loves UK game shows such as 'Deal or No Deal' and 'Countdown'.
Adam Levine loves British afternoon television game shows and says it is one of the best things about visiting the UK.
He told the Daily Star: ''Your daytime TV quiz shows like 'Deal or No Deal' and 'Countdown' are brilliant.''
He added: ''We don't have anything like that In America, grab some tea and slob out.''
It recently emerged the musician has a new underwear model girlfriend.
The two women reportedly know each other and starred in the same fashion show which Adam appeared at for the brand last November.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: ''Anne and Behati are good friends. Not best, but close enough.''
Namibian Behati was spotted talking and flirting with 'Moves Like Jagger' singer Adam, who had a big smile on his face at a friend's pre-wedding party earlier last week, before they went in for a kiss.

Jim Thome's wife Andrea is officially done as a Cleveland Browns fan.
She's asked the Browns to cancel the season tickets that she has with Jim following the Deshaun Watson sign-and-trade. She made the announcement on her Twitter following Watson's press conference last week.
"Very sad after 40 years as a fan, but this is my line in the sand," Andrea tweeted. "I believe women. Especially when there are 22 of them. That press conference did nothing to change my mind."
She later added that she has every right to make the decision after more than 20 female massage therapists said that Watson touched them inappropriately over the last couple of years.
"A final word. I never called anyone guilty. 22 accusers. That’s enough for me to make a decision that I have every right to make without being incessantly bullied by keyboard warriors," Andrea tweeted. "I’m stepping away for a week, but I wish you all peace. Grateful for all of the support."
The NFL world is applauding Thome's wife on social media.
Watson is still facing civil lawsuits from the accusers as an NFL investigation is still ongoing.

Ballymena police recovered cannabis with an estimated street value of £40,000 following an operation in the area on Thursday.
A 46 year old man was also arrested and has been charged with possession of class B drugs and possession of class B drugs with intent to supply.
Chief Inspector Stephen McCauley said: “The cannabis is thought be of the “skunk” variety. It is worth noting that while all illegal drugs are dangerous, “skunk” can be particularly dangerous because its use can increase the likelihood of a psychotic episode.
“The find comes during Operation Torus, aimed at street level drug dealers.
“I would ask that anyone in the community who has any information or concerns about drug supply in their community contacts police on the non-emergency number 101 or via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

The M1 Peer Pleasure Youth Theatre Festival has been one of the most significant avenues for youths to access and perform theatres over the last few years. Now fast approaching its 2020 edition this August, the beloved festival will draw to close with a last hurrah, with a line-up of programmes shedding light on the lives of the differently-abled in Singapore.
Themed around the issue of Disability, this year’s festival takes inspiration from the strange new way of life we’ve been presented with in 2020, and how we’ve had to adjust and adapt our ways of thinking, imagining the perspectives of people in our society who have had to live with a different perspective even before this. Besides featuring a number of student participants, this year’s festival is headlined by a new, devised work What If, produced by a diverse team that includes people who are differently-abled.
Speaking to producer Ngiam Su-Lin, Executive Director of ArtsWok Collaborative (who is co-organising the festival with Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay), we found out how determined the team was to ensure the festival went out with a bang, in spite of all the restrictions Covid-19 has caused. “We were tussling with the idea of whether to even go ahead with the festival or not,” says Su-Lin. “And especially considering that it’s the last year of the festival, we really wanted to present a live show in a physical venue. What If was in the works since last year, and our collaborators were initially very upset that they wouldn’t be able to present it in the form as planned, and that all those rehearsals and research would go to waste. Because it’s a work that has seen so much effort going into it, with a steep learning curve for everyone involved.”
“But eventually, they reasoned with themselves and we too decided to take the whole thing online,” she continues. “The Esplanade has been very supportive of our efforts to go digital, and we’re learning a lot along the way how to adapt to this new medium, not just for our practitioners, but how our differently-abled audiences can access it as well. If you’re blind, how will you see something on Zoom? If you have cerebral palsy, will you need someone to assist you? We eventually had to consult a new media director to help us figure all these out, and we really appreciate how our directors and performers rose to this challenge.”
During the performances themselves, the team wanted to empower audiences even in the digital realm, as opposed to making them feel as if they were being forced into a specific norm at play. When welcoming viewers into the space, the team will prepare instructions for how they would watch the performance, and what to expect, including post-show dialogue sessions and audience participation. “Because our festival this year is all about spotlighting disability, it was more important than ever to make sure we accommodated our audience members who are differently-abled,” says Su-Lin. “It really is all about finding that connection, as well as providing accessibility with captioning and audio description where possible. Everything we do is aimed at easing them into the space, and ensuring that this is a safe space. We take inclusivity seriously, which is why we need to put in the effort to be generous to each other, and make the attempt to understand and adjust ourselves and the medium to accommodate others.”
Other productions that will be presented include original student-devised plays The Other People and If These Wheels Could Speak, by Dunman High School and Tanjong Katong Girls’ School respectively; as well as multi-sensory interactive theatre piece Riley’s Rain, created and performed by Republic Polytechnic, and devised and directed by Gloria Tan and Samantha Bounaparte. “The productions we present all highlight how we as a society can continue to coexist in spite of our differences, and the production challenges we’ve faced, a way of rethinking how we can connect in spite of our distances,” says Su-Lin. “With the medium changed, we’re thinking of how we can still get audiences to watch together, like individuals watching the same stream together, or as a class, projected in a classroom. Our aim has always been to create genuine conversations, and we’ve done this by dedicating time for schools to engage with us using Facebook Live, and have exchanges with practitioners.”
“In part, that’s why we have such a long devising process with our participants. Over one year, our participants do intensive, extensive research into stories and information and the landscape that will inform their work,” Su-Lin adds. “It’s a process that enables and empowers, because it makes them think, and start asking the hard questions to themselves, where they’ve been lacking, and truly come to terms with what they feel are the kind of stories they want to tell, and if they’re worth telling.”
Throughout the five years that the festival has been around, ArtsWok has kept their modus operandi simple and sweet – to ensure that each festival stays in line with the theme, and to ensure participants are given a voice that is heard by others. “Rather than constantly being fed content, ArtsWok is constantly doing community engagement work that raises questions about community,” says Su-Lin. “This period has kept our minds so busy, and we’ve been reaching out more than ever to network and field discussions. In a time where nothing is normal, it becomes easier to ask difficult questions, and it’s an opportunity to bring our theme to the fore and question our ‘norms’.”
Speaking on this edition of the festival being the last, at least for now, Su-Lin concludes: “We’ve been doing the festival since 2015, and it’s been a good journey for all of us. It’s a good time to take a break, and use this moment to share all that we’ve learnt and our processes with others, particularly with youths who want to find another avenue for expressing their opinions and views. The festival is and always has been about its young participants, and despite us going fully digital this time around, we believe that we’ll still be able to bridge our distances with our art, that we’ve used this platform to build friendships and strengthen relationships, and that above all, we will have hope in our hearts as we move towards whatever lies ahead in the future.”
The M1 Peer Pleasure Youth Theatre Festival 2020 will take place from 4th to 16th August 2020. Tickets available here

Glycolic acid is a mild form of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). The presence of the word acid in the description may seem a bit alarming, but a mild acid can be very effective when it comes to skin care. Here's why: The surface of your skin is protected by a thin layer of moisture and oil. Your skin is also constantly shedding dead cells. The dead cells can sometimes become trapped under or settle onto the protective moisture layer instead of falling off. Accumulated dead skin cells can create big problems, especially when you don't cleanse your face regularly and well. It can block tiny pores in the skin that can become infected and painful. It may also be a contributing factor in the development of skin conditions like acne. When your skin begins to age, dead skin cells can also settle into lines and wrinkles, making them appear more pronounced than they actually are.
This coating of dead skin and oil can sometimes be hard to wash off, too. That's were a mild acid comes in very handy. Glycolic acid is stronger than the natural acid balance of your skin but not strong enough to be harmful. Applying it regularly for a prescribed period can help make skin look younger, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, reduce discoloration and help control breakouts by stripping away dead skin and stimulating the new skin underneath. This process of removing dead skin and other debris is called exfoliation. Glycolic acid is available in over the counter as well as in stronger prescription strength preparations for use as an exfoliant.
Where glycolic acid and other AHAs were originally used as exfoliants and in the treatment of acne and other skin conditions, it wasn't long before dermatologists discovered a side benefit. The use of AHAs also increased the production of collagen in the dermal layer of the skin. Collagen synthesis benefits are usually associated with more concentrated glycolic acid formulations like deep peels, though. Today, glycolic acid is used in varying concentrations in many skin care products.
Glycolic acid isn't for everyone. If you have a rash or damaged skin, consult a dermatologist before using any AHA product. If you're pregnant or nursing, glycolic acid preparations are generally safe to use. Read the informational material and instructions on the products you buy carefully, and discuss changes to your skin care regimen with your doctor.

Study and Assessment of Performance of Mobile Phones Base Stations Antennas Using MATLAB and TEAMS
The performance evaluation of a mobile base station antenna can be done by measurements on test routes or by calculations using measured direction-of-arrival distributions and the measured or calculated radiation pattern of the antenna. Measurements on antennas of mobile base stations require a lot of effort in cells used in the cities; therefore, a reliable calculation-based evaluation method would be useful. In this paper, a variety of operating conditions are considered in determining the antenna array pattern, such as the number of array elements and elements spacing. The objective of this paper is the introduction of some types of array antennas used in mobile communication systems, and discussing the suitability of array antenna for GSM base stations.

Ukraine: Russian troops forced out of key areas in Donbas

The Kazakhstani Ministry of Defence gave the official reason for the cancellation as budget savings and “other issues”.
However many believe it serves as a clear sign to Moscow, given the importance of the celebration to Russia and post-Soviet unity.
Political science professor Taras Kuzio wrote on Twitter: “Russia has lost support in its own backyard.
“Only Lukashenka [President of Belarus] still sits in Putin’s pocket (for now).”
The central Asian nation was part of the USSR and declared independence on December 16 1991, yet it has maintained links with Russia through the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, of which they are both members along with China, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
The Kazakhstan government has expressed their disapproval of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, with first deputy chief of staff of the Kazakhstani presidency Timur Suleimenov calling it a “war” and not a “special military operation” at an event in Washington DC.
The Atlantic Council described this statement as “meaningful” coming from a senior Kazakhstani official while in the US.
Kazakhstan has also sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine and has refused to recognise the Russian-separatist states in the Donbas.
Anti-war protests have taken place amongst citizens in the country’s most populous city Almaty, with five thousand individuals congregating to voice their anger on March 6.
However, Kazakhstan has stopped short of outright condemnation of the war and it was one of a number of central Asian countries that abstained in a UN General Assembly resolution condemning the invasion of Ukraine.
It also did not vote for a US-sponsored resolution which would have enabled Russia to be suspended from the UN Human Rights Council.
Prominent Russian figures have spoken out at Nur-Sultan’s decision to not support the invasion, with Russian TV presenter Tigran Keosayan threatening the nation with a “Ukrainian scenario”.

This puts Kazakhstan in a difficult position as they seek to show their support for Ukraine without angering their powerful neighbour and official ally.
According to Reuters, at least 46,000 people are thought to have perished in the war so far, with at least 400 people missing and at least 14 million displaced.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson travelled to Stockholm and Helsinki this week to sign agreements with Sweden and Finland, saying that the UK will come to their aid if they are attacked by Russia and vice versa.
The two Scandinavian countries have recently been considering joining NATO as a response to Putin’s ongoing aggression.
