Every year Philadelphia makes the most of Independence Day, scheduling all sorts of free and ticketed events throughout the city to celebrate. As a newbie to the whole situation, I found almost everything delightful! I attended the parade from 11:00 AM to about 1:00 PM and saw hundreds of people doing the same. The participants and the audience were all just as excited as me to be in the streets of Philadelphia. Immediately after the parade, I went to "Party on the Parkway," which had lovely young women and men doing great dance routines on stage, tons of food vendors, Wawa giveaway tents (they gave away a great iced tea lemonade drink), and some commercial spaces as well. Next on the schedule was a free concert with performers such as Kevin Hart, J. Cole, and Ne-yo. Conceptually this was a great event, but the amount of people that showed up made it unenjoyable with no room to breath, and (with my height) no view of the stage or anyone on it. The performers were also very hard to hear if you were outside concert seating. If you are thinking about coming to Philadelphia for next year's events please do spend the money to get a seat for the concert(s); they will be much more enjoyable that way. Finally, I made it to the fireworks (which, may I say, were the highlight of the evening!) Growing up in a small town didn't allow for many awe-inspiring shows, but let me tell you, Philly's fireworks are the best I've seen yet. Anyway, what I believe made July 4th even better was the diversity of event attendees; people of all ages, colors, and cultures were celebrating together as a family. Philly's truly the city of brotherly (and sisterly) love!

Originally created in 1956 for engineers and technicians who are exposed to magnetic fields which disrupt the watch accuracy, the Milgauss was designed to resist magnetic interference up to 1,000 gauss, hence the name “mille” which is French for “thousand.”
The big Milgauss news for 2014 is the new Z blue dial — combined with the green sapphire crystal and orange lightning-bolt shaped seconds hand. The name “Z Blue” comes from the zirconium content in the alloy of the dial.
The Milgauss is presented in a 40 mm 904L stainless steel case with a ferromagnetic alloy shield that surrounds the movement inside the case (an invention that was patented by Rolex is 1954). In addition, the caliber 3131’s oscillator and escapement are made of paramagnetic materials that have been used in Rolex movements since the 2000s.
According to Rolex, “The escapement of the Milgauss features a paramagnetic escape wheel made of a nickel-phosphorus alloy. This component is produced using a micromanufacturing technology (UV-LiGA) that is entirely mastered in-house. The oscillator, the true heart of the watch, has a blue Parachrom hairspring patented and manufactured by Rolex in an exclusive alloy of niobium and zirconium. Insensitive to magnetic fields, the Parachrom hairspring offers great stability when exposed to temperature variations and remains up to 10 times more precise than a traditional hairspring in case of shocks.”
The caseback is solid and screwed in with a special tool. The crown features a patented Twinlock system, good for 100 meters of water resistance.
The steel bracelet features a Rolex-patented Easylink rapid extension system that allows the wearer to easily increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, for additional comfort. (Ref. 116400 GV)

“delivery certificates, which the federal government had accepted from these immigrants when they had applied for transient criminal popularity under previous presidents, were now deemed inadequate,” ProPublica studies. “So had been expired Liberian passports—besides the fact that they were being provided as proof of nationality, which doesn’t expire.” in fact, USCIS’ rules had been so doubtful that even following an informational webinar by using felony advocates this past summer, “[n]o one became bound what proof the U.S. govt was accepting to prove that an applicant became basically Liberian.”
That’s not by mistake, with the agency well-nigh furloughing 70% of its work drive this year over supposed funding issues that I bet didn’t turn out to be concerns at the least in the interim after drive from federal legislators and advocates?
“On properly of locking out immigrants, USCIS has done little to nothing to handle many concerns related to the Covid-19 pandemic that may well be conveniently addressed and keep the agency funds or usher in further funding,” DHS Watch Director Ur Jaddou pointed out prior this year, “including digital naturalization oath ceremonies, cut-off date extensions, computerized extensions, and deferred action for standard workers.” definitely, immigrants who were nearing the naturalization technique needed to sue USCIS to be able to complete the process.
Trump officers, including unlawfully appointed performing USCIS Director Ken Cuccinelli, additionally defied court order and refused to reopen the Deferred motion for Childhood Arrivals program to new applicants (and the further costs that could then roll in), eventually reinstating the application this month. The month prior, USCIS officials reportedly ordered agency team of workers to now not speak with President-elect Joe Biden’s transition group, days after it had already been clear he’d gained.
It’s estimated that anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 Liberian immigrants may be eligible for green playing cards, with Lind reporting that more than 1,000 had utilized by the time officials instituted their intellect-boggling guidelines that are actually coupled with some outrageous state of being inactive from the agency. “a few lawyers brought up to ProPublica that USCIS already had hundreds of home addresses of eligible immigrants from their newest filings for temporary status, and will have despatched them letters informing them of the brand new software; it didn’t,” the document persisted.
The software length for eligible immigrants is now closing in exactly days on Dec. 20. Even that’s coming with best print, as a result of USCIS is announcing that applications have to be received through that date, when during the past it has accepted a postmark for a certain date. “Some contributors of Congress are working so as to add an extension to the conclusion-of-yr omnibus spending invoice,” the file spoke of, however may come to be coming all the way down to the incoming Biden administration to do that, including to the mountain of anti-immigrant and anti-asylum guidelines it already has to clean up.

Quality of health care is a big topic these days; with the majority of news stories covering how we are all going to get our hospital bills paid and our prescriptions filled. But there is a conspicuous absence of any discussion of over-treatment and the over-selling of false diagnoses and dangerous prescription drugs. Once you find out about the diagnosis, tests and treatments that are offered, you can make decisions about accepting it, or not. This is called Informed Consent.
In the case of medications, the minimum your doctor should tell you is based on the information made generally available by the drug manufacturers. However, you should expect that your doctor is aware of any pertinent medical issues beyond what the pharmaceutical companies tend to provide.
This is the minimum your doctor should explain so you can give informed consent:
- What is the evidence for the diagnosis?
- How does the treatment affect the body?
- How does the treatment affect the mind?
- What unwanted effects may occur?
- Is it approved by the FDA for your condition?
- What is known and not known about how safe it is and how well it works?
- What are the alternatives, including the option of no treatment?
- Does your doctor or the clinic have a financial interest in pushing the diagnosis or treatment?
You can make your doctor work for you. Demand information and get key questions answered. Doctors are supposed to give every bit of this full information to each patient they diagnose, test, operate on or prescribe for, so that the patient can give informed consent. In fact, they are required to do so by federal guidelines, state statutes and medical society ethics codes.
Your role in the process is to get any questions answered. Then you can carefully consider the information you have been given.
You may feel more comfortable taking the information home before making a decision about agreeing to the proposed treatment.
Be a part of the decision-making process when your doctor offers a drug:
Get a thorough understanding of what he or she is prescribing and why.
Ask exactly what the drug is and why it has been chosen for your condition. How does it work?
Find out if it is new on the market. If so, why was it chosen over older drugs?
Find out if the drug is safe to take:
How will this drug interact with your other medications or over-the-counter drugs or natural remedies you are taking?
What does your doctor personally know about the safety of the drug? How long was it tested? How long were patients followed after taking it to determine if they developed bad effects? Has the FDA published any reports of adverse effects?
Why is a new drug being prescribed instead of an older similar drug with a proven safety record?
Ask about how well it works:
Has the proposed drug been proven to be effective for your particular condition?
What is the drug effectiveness in comparison to no treatment; in comparison to older drugs; in comparison to alternate drugs; in comparison to non-drug treatments such as diet, rest, and vitamins; in comparison to herbal or natural remedies?
If your doctor provides any of the following answers, it should give you strong reservations about giving informed consent and accepting the diagnosis or taking the drug:
There is only a checklist of symptoms or other peoples’ opinions to make the diagnosis. There is no abnormality of blood, tissue or biochemistry that can be shown to you.
Your doctor is unclear about the mechanism of action of a drug (what it is doing inside the body). Either the mechanism is not known and only guessed at, or your doctor doesn’t understand it.
The drug was approved within the last two years. Thus it lacks an extensive safety record in the general population.
Your doctor doesn’t know of any adverse effects aside from what he reads along with you in the package insert. Since your doctor has not looked at the FDA website of adverse drug events he or she knows of no warnings to give you. This is something you will have to question carefully to see if your doctor is saying, “I know there are no special warnings to give you” or if your doctor is actually expressing, “I don’t know of any special precautions (because I haven’t bothered to look, all my data comes from the manufacturer’s glossy brochures).”
Your doctor is writing with a drug-maker emblazoned pen, jotting on a note pad sporting the logo of the drug manufacturer or carrying a coffee mug advertising the latest. These are indications of a heavily drug salesman-infiltrated office, and may well reflect an inordinate reliance on sales talk in the absence of careful review of the scientific pharmacologic information.
The drug is a look-alike version of an older drug. This is offered to you at much greater expense without obvious medical advantage.
On occasion your doctor may have to honestly say, “I don’t know, I’ll go find out some answers for myself and for you.” However, be alert if your doctor is offended or becomes patronizing. In that case you can expect that you have tread into some areas in which he or she feels challenged or uncomfortable, and may not be ready to be thoroughly frank with you. Then again, sometimes the answer to these questions remains some version of, “I don’t know about the details of safety and effectiveness,” but he or she still feels you should take the drug. In this case you will have to carefully consider the unknowns and make your decision.
You can only really be in charge of the quality of your health care when you have the opportunity for full informed consent.

Car producer :
Levassor Type X14 20CV Torpedo by Vanvooren
Panhard is a French manufacturer of light tactical and military vehicles. Its current incarnation, now owned by Renault Trucks Defense, was formed by the acquisition of Panhard by Auverland in 2005. Panhard had been under Citroën ownership, then PSA (Peugeot société anonyme) after the 1974 takeover of Citroën by Peugeot, for 40 years. The combined company now uses the Panhard name; this was decided based on studies indicating that the Panhard name had better brand recognition worldwide than the Auverland name. Panhard once built innovative civilian cars but ceased production of those in 1968. Many of its military products however end up on the civilian market via third sources and as military/government surplus vehicles. Panhard also built railbuses between the wars.
Panhard was originally called Panhard et Levassor, and was established as a car manufacturing concern by René Panhard and Émile Levassor in 1887.
Panhard et Levassor sold their first automobile in 1890, based on a Daimler engine license. Levassor obtained his licence from Paris lawyer Edouard Sarazin, a friend and representative of Gottlieb Daimler's interests in France. Following Sarazin's 1887 death, Daimler commissioned Sarazin's widow Louise to carry on her late husband's agency. The Panhard et Levassor license was finalised by Louise, who married Levassor in 1890. Daimler and Levassor became fast friends, and shared improvements with one another.
These first vehicles set many modern standards, but each was a one-off design. They used a clutch pedal to operate a chain-driven gearbox. The vehicle also featured a front-mounted radiator. An 1895 Panhard et Levassor is credited with the first modern transmission. For the 1894 Paris–Rouen Rally, Alfred Vacheron equipped his 4 horsepower (3.0 kW; 4.1 PS) with a steering wheel, believed to be one of the earliest employments of the principle.
In 1891, the company built its first all-Levassor design, a "state of the art" model: the Système Panhard consisted of four wheels, a front-mounted engine with rear wheel drive, and a crude sliding-gear transmission, sold at 3500 francs. This was to become the standard layout for automobiles for most of the next century. The same year, Panhard et Levassor shared their Daimler engine license with bicycle maker Armand Peugeot, who formed his own car company.
In 1895, 1,205 cc Panhard et Levassor vehicles finished first and second in the Paris–Bordeaux–Paris race, one piloted solo by Levassor, for 48¾hr. However, during the 1896 Paris–Marseille–Paris race, Levassor was fatally injured due to a crash while trying to avoid hitting a dog, and died in Paris the following year. Arthur Krebs succeeded Levassor as General Manager in 1897, and held the job until 1916. He turned the Panhard et Levassor Company into one of the largest and most profitable manufacturers of automobiles before World War I.
After Emile Levassor's death in 1897, René Panhard re-organised his company as a joint stock corporation to attract wealthy investors, while Commandant Arthur Constantin Krebs succeeded Levassor as technical and production manager. Krebs began work by designing a series of four-cylinder engines with nominal power outputs ranging from 8CV to 20CV. His Paris-Amsterdam racer of 1898 featured a tilted (as opposed to vertical) steering column and this innovation was soon carried over to the production cars. Racing developments continued to influence the production Panhards, which soon featured front-mounted radiators, first seen on the Paris-Bordeaux racer of 1899. Battery/coil ignition and Krebs' own diaphragm carburettor were features of Panhard et Levassor engines by the end of 1901, and during that year he introduced the first power units, known as the Centaure family, to depart from the original Daimler design.
Krebs pressed ahead with developing his new Centaure engines, and in 1902 adopted individual cylinders instead of the previous cast-in-pairs arrangement. A five-bearing crankshaft and three valves per cylinder were advanced features of the Centaure Leger (Lightweight) unit. The Centaure range soon expanded to incorporate three-cylinder engines alongside the existing parallel twins and fours, an early example of modular construction. For 1903 Krebs introduced the Centaure S family of T-head fours with magneto ignition, which ranged in size from a 2.4-litre 10CV up to a 5.3-litre 23CV.
Panhards won numerous races from 1895 to 1903. Panhard et Levassor developed the Panhard rod, which came to be used in many other types of automobiles as well.
Panhard held a special place amongst the earliest makes of cars. It was at the forefront of designing a " modern " car, with a layout of mechanical components that went on to become the norm. The marque was always on the look out for the latest innovations, and in 1909 Panhard became interested in Charles Knight's development of an engine where the conventional valves had been replaced with sleeve valves. Impressed by the silent and smooth running of this system, Panhard bought the licence and started to develop its own " valveless " engines. The first chassis to benefit was the Type X7, presented at the 1910 Motor Show, and from that date on, this engine was fitted to the marque's high-end models for many years. The Type 14 was one such model, equipped in 1911 with a four-cylinder 4 398cc valveless engine that also had a better braking system than the X7.
From 1910 Panhard worked to develop engines without conventional valves, using under license the sleeve valve technology that had been patented by the American Charles Yale Knight. Between 1910 and 1924 the Panhard & Levassor catalogue listed plenty of models with conventional valve engines, but these were offered alongside cars powered by sleeve valve power units. Following various detailed improvements to the sleeve valve technology by Panhard's own engineering department, from 1924 till 1940 all Panhard cars used sleeve valve engines.
Under the presidency of Raymond Poincaré, which ran from 1913 till 1920, Panhard & Levassor's 18CV and 20CV models were the official presidential cars.
Following the outbreak of peace in 1918, Panhard resumed passenger car production in March 1919 with the 10HP Panhard Type X19 which used a 4-cylinder 2,140cc engine. This was followed three months later by three more 4-cylinder models which will have been familiar to any customers whose memories pre-dated the war, but they now incorporated ungraded electrics and a number of other modifications. For the 15th Paris Motor Show, in October 1919, Panhard were displaying four models, all with four cylinder engines, as follows:
By 1925, all Panhard's cars were powered by Knight sleeve valve engines that used steel sleeves. The steel sleeves were thinner and lighter than the cast iron ones that had been fitted in Panhard sleeve valve engines since 1910, and this already gave rise to an improved friction coefficient permitting engines to run at higher speeds. To reduce further the risk of engines jamming, the outer sleeves, which are less thermally stressed than the inner sleeves, were coated on their inner sides with an anti-friction material, employing a patented technique with which Panhard engineers had been working since 1923. This was one of several improvements applied by Panhard engineers to the basic Knight sleeve-valve engine concept.
In 1925 a 4.8 litre (292ci) model set the world record for the fastest hour run, an average of 185.51 km/h (115.26 mph).
A surprise appeared on the Panhard stand at the 20th Paris Motor Show in October 1926, in the shape of the manufacturer's first six-cylinder model since before the war. The new Panhard 16CV "Six" came with a 3445cc engine and sat on a 3540 mm wheelbase. At the show it was priced, in bare chassis form, at 58,000 francs. Of the nine models displayed for the 1927 model year, seven featured four cylinder engines, ranging in capacity from 1480cc (10CV) to 4845cc (20CV), and in price from 31,000 francs to 75,000 francs (all in bare chassis form). Also on show was an example of the 8-cylinder 6350cc (35CV) "Huit" model which Panhard had offered since 1921 and which at the 1926 show was priced by the manufacturer in bare chassis form at 99,000 francs.
When Panhard presented their 1931 line-up at the Paris Motor Show in October 1930, their last two four cylinder models had been withdrawn, along with the 10CV 6-cylider Type X59. Instead they concentrated on their "S-series" cars, designated "Panhard CS" and "Panhard DS" according to engine size, and introduced a year earlier. Publicity of the time indicated the "S" stood for "Voitures surbaissées" (cars having an "underslung" chassis,) but, clearly captivated by the power of alliteration, added that "S" also indicated cars that were "...souples, supérieures, stables, spacieuses, silencieuses, sans soupapes (ie using valveless cylinders)...". Four of the five Panhards exhibited featured increasingly lavish and pricey 6-cylinder engined cars, their engine sizes ranging from 2.35-litres to 3.5-litres. There was also an 8-cylinder 5.1-litre Panhard Type X67 on display, with a generous 3,590 mm (141.3 in) wheelbase and listed, even in bare chassis form, at 85,000 francs.
Panhard et Levassor's last pre-war car was the unusually styled monocoque Dynamic series, first introduced in 1936.

|Lily and my mom 2001|
So many times I think to myself, what would my mom do? Or, I'll call my mom and get her advice. On a daily basis, when I have these moments it is sometimes so difficult to go about the day to day activities. But, I do. We all do. All of our family members are doing well and living their life to the fullest. Just exactly as my mother would want us to do.
|Me and my mom 1969|
I've mentioned it other times, but my mom lived her life to the fullest each and every day. She married a man she loved, had three daughters she cherished, and had a happy and fulfilling career as a teacher. In her retirement years, she and my father traveled and did things that made them happy.
|Dad and mom 2006|
And, there is the key to life. Be happy and filled with love. The best advice my mother could give us was through her example of living well. So, as I go throughout this day, I want to remember to live my life more like she did. Being happy.

U.S. - A study performed by Pew Research Center found a strong link between happiness and not knowing who Chrissy Teigen is.
"We found that people who do not know who Chrissy Teigen is or why there is a controversy around her are up to 850% happier than those who know anything about the woman at all," read the study. "It seems there is a very strong correlation and possible causation here. People who don't know about her enjoy life much more and have a really optimistic disposition about humanity."
The study found that people who don't know who Chrissy Teigen is are more likely to be outside, playing in the sunshine, whistling in pure blissful ignorance, enjoying their family and friends -- while those who do know who Chrissy Teigen is are much more likely to currently be on Twitter staring into the abyss.
"For your own mental health, we can't recommend not knowing anything about Chrissy Teigen any more emphatically," said head researcher Dr. Ryan Arthur. "Seriously -- it does wonders for your wellbeing."
"BUT BEWARE! THOSE WHO KNOW WHO CHRISSY TEIGEN IS ARE LIKELY TO GO THE WAY OF MADNESS!"
At publishing time, you had googled "who is Chrissy Teigen" after reading this article and are now much less happy with your life.


General Linux c programming questions
- From: je <te@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 23:10:51 -0800 (PST)
I have to port an embedded controller firmware to embedded Linux
(PPC). Both systems are/ will be in c. I use a phyCORE MPC5200
evaluation board for the port.
The embedded controller FW didn't have an operating system. The idea
is that I split the firmware program into serveral tasks (one for
example application logic, and another /several? for I/O). I wonder if
I should use Processes or PThreads (or whatelse) for this. I don't
have Linux programming experience, but experience in programming the
controller in c, and Windows programming experience. I know Windows
I do not have to deal with the drivers, I have to do the upper layers.
At the moment, I seek more advice in the architecture.
Also I am looking for libraries for socket programming, and for
CANopen. I have heard that the CANbus is treated as a socket nowadays,
and that there is something called CANfestival.
Is there perhaps a better group to ask these questions? Also, if
someone knows of good ressources for Linux programming (newsgroups,
sites, books, whatever), these are welcome.

The Catholic Church, which has opposed the use of condoms for contraceptive or safe-sex purposes, is now considering endorsing their use by married couples in which one partner has HIV/AIDS. Pope Benedict XVI, who was a strict enforcer of church doctrine under Pope John-Paul II, has requested a report on the issue, surprising many Catholics and safe-sex advocates. Rev. Jon Fuller, a Jesuit physician, told the New York Times that “In some ways, maybe he has got the greatest capacity to do it because there is no doubt about his orthodoxy.”
Considering limited endorsement of condoms may also bring the Vatican more in line with its own clergy. The Telegraph reports that two-thirds of priests in the United Kingdom considered it “morally defensible to use condoms in order to curb the spread of HIV.” HIV/AIDS has proven a hurdle for the Catholic Church, as the Church expands in Africa and encounters the issue of marriages affected by the disease, where abstinence and fidelity do not offer sufficient protection.

HIT-and-run accidents involving pedestrians in Hammersmith and Fulham rose for the second successive year.
Greater London Authority figures show there were 105 people injured in collisions with cars in 2011, up from 94 in 2010 and 81 in 2009. Police said many of the injuries were at the hands of illegal drivers.
Accidents are split into three categories; fatal, serious and slight. The majority of the borough's 2011 incidents were deemed to have resulted in slight injuries, with 10 serious. There have been no fatalities in the last three years.
London Assembly member Jenny Jones said the figures were 'concerning' and called for a crackdown on rogue car users. She said: "The Met has made a lot of progress in tackling the problem of hit-and-run drivers in recent years by removing thousands of uninsured and unlicensed drivers from our streets. But the number of hit-and-runs in London remains at a high level which is incredibly concerning.
"We need the police to crack down on these illegal drivers urgently by redoubling their efforts and taking 100,000 uninsured drivers off our roads every year. We urgently need to make our streets safer and to send a clear message that illegal drivers will not be tolerated."
According to the figures, on average 68 people per week were injured in traffic collisions last year, which rose from 3,090 incidents in 2009 to 3,535 last year. There were 14 fatal accidents.
The most dangerous borough was Westminster with 218 incidents, while there were 108 in Kensington and Chelsea.


Fined: Willesden shop caught selling illegal cigarettes and tobacco
- Credit: Archant
A convenience store in Willesden and its company director have been fined for selling illegal cigarettes and tobacco products.
Al Amirat in High Road and Sabah Ziyagham were taken to court after trading officers found the goods on sale without the mandatory health warnings displayed.
The officers seized a total of 352 packets of cigarettes, eight packets of hand rolling tobacco and eight packets of shisha tobacco molasses.
Al Amirat Lit was ordered to pay a total of £1,010 in fines and Ziyagham who lives in Notting Hill, must pay £1,000.60.
Cllr James Denselow, Brent Council’s cabinet member responsible for trading standards, said: “To sell illegal cigarettes which don’t carry the proper health warnings to make a few extra pounds amounts to putting profit before consumer safety, which is something that we will never tolerate in Brent.”

25 May BiotechDispatch: US clearance for 4DMedical’s lung imaging product
Australian medical technology company 4DMedical (formerly known as 4Dx) says it has received clearance from the FDA to market its four-dimensional XV Technology lung imaging product – XV Lung Ventilation Analysis Software.
4DMedical Founder and CEO Dr Andreas Fouras said, “XV Technology is a valuable respiratory diagnostic tool that provides critical information about the functional state of a patient’s lungs in the treatment of all illnesses of the lungs, such as asthma, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer.”
The company said its XV Technology is designed to provide essential quantitative support for diagnosis and follow up examinations.
“XV can provide real benefits to lung patients and to the healthcare system. In the case of COVID-19, XV can be used to triage patients into the right treatment setting and to quickly determine how well a treatment is working,” said Dr Fouras.
“The FDA clearance we have received means that we can now launch our product in the US, to ensure American hospitals and doctors have access to potentially life-saving insight into the lung function of their patients.”
The company said the XV Technology can be implemented immediately, utilising existing hospital and clinical infrastructure with no capital expenditure or training required, and is available through secure cloud subscription.
Imaging departments undertake an X-ray sequence using existing fluoroscopy equipment. 4DMedical software then identifies and quantifies any functional impairment. A report is sent to the hospital to enable clinicians to determine the most effective treatment course of action. The end-to-end process can be completed and a report generated within three hours.

Florida's pre-k program would see big changes under this bill. Here's what it would do:
A proposal that would revamp Florida’s voluntary pre-kindergarten program was approved by a Senate panel on Monday as Democrats expressed concern about “high-stakes” testing for the state’s youngest learners.
The proposal, sponsored by Sen. Gayle Harrell, R-Stuart, emerged after Gov. Ron DeSantis said last year the education quality offered to kids in Florida’s voluntary prekindergarten program was “not good enough.”
His disappointment stemmed from a report released by the Florida Department of Education showing 42 percent of children who participated in the program were not prepared to enter kindergarten.
The governor called the failure rate “simply not defendable” and called on state leaders to come up with a new plan.
Harrell on Monday pitched the Senate Education Committee a proposal (SB 1688) that would bring major changes to how providers are measured and reprimanded if they fall short.
The proposal was unanimously approved by the committee and would require the education commissioner to develop a standardized test for pre-K students.
What are the major changes proposed?
The new assessment would be taken by kids three times a school year from pre-K through third grade, and the test results would be used to judge the effectiveness of pre-K providers.
Currently, pre-K providers are assessed on results of tests students take within 30 days of entering kindergarten.
Harrell is also proposing setting up a metric to grade providers on an A-to-F scale. Providers who earn high marks, the bill says, would get more funding.
But the impact the assessment would have on children garnered pushback from Democrats and parents during Monday’s hearing.
Sen. Lori Berman, D-Lantana, said she viewed the new assessment requirements as adding “high-stakes” testing for young children.
Harrell, however, maintained test results are meant to measure pre-K programs’ effectiveness rather than to hold kids accountable for grades they receive.
“It’s not high-stakes testing for our kids,” Harrell argued. “It’s a way of not evaluating the kid but evaluating the provider and what we’re getting for our money.”
Should a 4-year-old have to take a test? Some say no
A provision in the bill that would require kids with “substantial early literacy deficiency” to be referred for intensive reading interventions before participation in kindergarten also garnered some backlash.
“Labeling a preschooler as having a ‘substantial deficiency in early literacy’ is ludicrous,” said Mindy Gould, a representative of the Miami-Dade County Council of PTAs.
She also asked the Senate panel to remember all children are not “great test-takers” and that many preschoolers learn better “through play.”
Senate Education Chairman Manny Diaz Jr., R-Hialeah, said he and other members of the committee have been “torn” about the proposal, particularly when it comes to the metrics used to assess kids’ progress.
“People are a little bit queasy about testing,” Diaz said. “I think it is all in finding what the solution is. You start thinking of those kids who are 3 or 4 years old, and you’re like, were going to put them through a test?”
Part of the new performance standards in the tests would deal with mathematical thinking and early math skills, the bill says.
The new test, along with a new program to monitor pre-K providers, would be estimated to cost the state a combined $22 million a year, according to the bill analysis.
Bill would create new Division of Early Learning
In addition to more testing, Harrell’s proposal is also restructuring oversight of the pre-kindergarten program by creating a new Division of Early Learning within the Florida Department of Education. The bill would get rid of the Office of Early Learning, an agency that oversees the voluntary pre-kindergarten program, and the new Division of Early Learning would have oversight over 30 regional early learning coalitions.
David Daniel, a lobbyist for the Florida Association for Child Care Management, said the accountability system for the voluntary pre-kindergarten program was “broken.”
In Florida, every 4-year-old is eligible for free, state-funded pre-kindergarten under the voluntary pre-kindergarten program, which was approved by voters in 2002. Private child-care facilities can be paid on a per-student basis by the state if a parent chooses their program.
But Daniel warned that the grading scale for providers could lead them to opt out of the state-funded program to serve parents who pay privately.
What happens next?
The Senate bill would need to clear two more committees before it could get a full vote in the Senate. Its next stop is before the Senate Education Appropriations Subcommittee, chaired by Sen. Kelli Stargel, R-Lakeland.
Stargel told The News Service of Florida after Monday’s meeting that she has concerns about provisions in the bill, including the proposals to grade providers on an A-to-F scale and the assessments for kids.
“That’s been the challenge we’ve had all along,” Stargel said.
A House version of the proposal (HB 1013), sponsored by Rep. Erin Grall, R-Vero Beach, is scheduled for its first hearing Tuesday at the House PreK-12 Innovation Subcommittee.


text: Our group has proposed that low-density granulocytes (LDGs) play an important role in lupus pathogenesis, as they can damage endothelial cells and synthesize increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferons. LDGs have a heightened capacity to synthesize neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs from LDGs display increased levels of bactericidal and immunostimulatory proteins, such as the cathelicidin LL37 and externalize double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Lupus netting LDGs have increased capacity to kill endothelial cells and expose IL-17. Through NETosis, lupus neutrophils stimulate plasmacytoid DCs to synthesize IFN-. Our results further expand the potential pathogenic role of aberrant lupus neutrophils through a NET-mediated effect.

Last week, a Fort bend County man was forced to pay thousands of dollars to repair his SUV after getting trampled by a group of wild animals.
“I come out here, I see the damage to my car, and they took off down the block,” said Jose Gonzalez in an interview with Click2Houston.
Gonzalez said he didn’t get a clear glimpse of the animals, they could have been coyotes or just a pack of stray dogs.
He then told the newspaper the damage to his car had been about $3,500. Also stating that in addition to the cost of his SUV, his wife’s car had also been clawed at and needed to be taken into the shop.
Gonzalez hopes the pack of animals is found and relocated so they won’t be able to cause more harm in the neighborhood. To achieve that he filed a police report with the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s office.

At a number of publications I worked at, an editor would come up to me and say, "Some guy came in and talked my ear off." And right away, I would know it was Jim Wong-Chu.
As the founder of the Asian Canadian Writers Workshop (ACWW) and Ricepaper magazine, the passionate way Wong-Chu spoke reflected the unstoppable, boundless drive he had for Asian Canadian communities and culture.
If you traced his efforts, which spanned numerous decades, that helped to propel or even provide a start for writers, authors, poets, artists, and more, you would have a comprehensive who's who of Asian Canadian literary and artistic talents, including Madeleine Thien, Kevin Chong, Evelyn Lau, Rita Wong, Alan Woo, and countless others.
He also helped to foster connections between various Asian Canadian communities, including people from Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino, Vietnamese, Malaysian, and numerous other ethnic groups.
Sadly, Wong-Chu, who came to Canada from Hong Kong at age four, died on July 11. But his legacy lives on.
Remembering Jim Wong-Chu: Celebration of Life, organized by the ACWW, will be held at 6:30 p.m. on September 11 at Pink Pearl Chinese Restaurant (1132 East Hastings Street). The event is free. To register, visit the event webpage on Eventbrite.
Anyone interested in giving a speech can contact LiterAsian, the literary festival founded by Wong-Chu.


Perhaps the funniest video of the week (for the three of you out there that haven't seen it yet) is the SNL appearance of Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton (see it here).
I was worried about posting, thinking some might view this as a partisan attack against the Republicans - despite SNL being very careful to skewer both sides .
But Sarah Palin said in her Hannity interview that she thought the piece was hilarious, so there you go.
Of course, she watched it with the sound turned off, so heard none of the substance of the piece.
But who needs knowledge to make a definite opinion in this day and age?
Just my thoughts,


Live From The Abyss is the latest single from US rapper Denzel Curry. The song is a slow paced, but hard hitting, political bomb of a track and until the end of October all net sales from the single will go directly to Dream Defenders, a community group that fights “for a world without prisons, policing, surveillance and punishment”.
Curry, a young artist who is very vocal about the state of affairs in his home country, holds nothing back on the track:
“I don’t fuck with my president
Tried to block all Mexicans
If he hear this message
Please don’t send swat to my residence”
Check out the song below.

EuroCommerce Partners With European Business Summit On E-Commerce
EuroCommerce, the EU trade representative group for retail and wholesale, has announced that it has formed a partnership with the European Business Summit in a special session entitled ‘Tapping the Potential of the E-Commerce Market for Europe’.
EuroCommerce director-general Christian Verschueren used this as an opportunity to remind retailers and wholesalers about the important changes facing the industry, as the market sees consumers ‘shift dramatically’ to online shopping.
Verschueren made a direct request to EU policy makers to prepare the sector with rules which would make it possible to respond to these changes, and to ‘face down increasing protectionist tendencies in national markets across Europe’.
Harmonised Single Market
He highlighted once more the importance of working properly with the digital single market, claiming it is vital for the future of retail and wholesale.
“Europe needs to harness the power of the largest market in the developed world in order to compete with other rapidly growing digital economies worldwide," he said. "While digital content is an important part of e-commerce, tangible goods remain the most important element of online selling for our sector."
"The digital single market can therefore only function if we have a harmonised and workable single market for goods, and one fit for the digital age. The barriers that still exist, and a worrying tendency by many member states to create new ones, are a priority for all three EU institutions and national governments to tackle, either by enforcing existing rules or agreeing new rules when this makes sense. Europe needs action to allow consumers and traders to make the most of the potential of a market of 500 million Europeans, and we need this now.”
Last week, Verschueren responded to what he believed to be a positive mid-term review of the Digital Market Strategy from the EU Commission.
He said that the representative group was happy to see the Commission take action on a number of shared interests. However, he stressed the need for clarity, and laid out a series of key priorities for EU decision makers to consider.

A versatile plant, cultivated for generations
Hemp is a staple crop, some 10,000 years old and originally from Asia. The plant was originally grown for its fiber and seeds and was used to make pottery, lamp oil, rope clothing and shoes. Known as “Sacred Grass” and “King of Seeds”, hemp was used to produce sails and ropes for the ships exploring new lands. In 1606, hemp plants were introduced to North America and became a new staple crop. Hemp holds an interesting place in our history since the fiber was used to make the American Flag, paper for our money and it’s said that drafts of the Declaration of Independence were printed on hemp paper.
Industrial Hemp vs Marijuana
In more recent times, the United States government created the Marijuana Act of 1937 to control the drug use in the United States by levying a tax on the plants. They combined Hemp with Marijuana in the act and due to perceived competition, the cotton and tobacco industries became major players in shutting down the hemp industry. Hemp made a comeback during World War II and our government promoted the slogan “Hemp for Victory”. American farmers again began to grow hemp for war efforts to make uniforms, canvas and rope. The legality of growing hemp has come and gone over the years. In 1970, it became illegal to grow hemp in the United States, but by 2004, imports of hemp seed and oil for food consumption was allowed again. In 2007, hemp licenses were granted to two farmers in North Dakota. In 2015, The Industrial Hemp Farming Act, which separates industrial hemp from Marijuana, was introduced into legislation and the 2018 Farm Bill now legalizes the (regulated) production of hemp and allows hemp to be grown legally with hemp licenses granted by each state.

As we predicted, Iggy Azalea’s ‘Fancy’, Ariana Grande’s ‘Problem’, MAGIC!’s ‘Rude’, Calvin Harris’ ‘Summer’, and a handful of others have burned their way in to our collective consciousness and dominated our airwaves up to this point of the summer.
BUT, summer is only half way over…it’s time to freshen up those playlists!
We’ve put together a list of 10 potential smash hits that could make a late push for the coveted ‘song of the summer’ title.
This isn’t the first time Nick Jonas has ventured away from his other brothers, musically speaking, but this might be his best solo effort. The song was produced by Jason Evigan (his credits include Demi Lovato‘s “Heart Attack” and David Guetta‘s new hit“Lovers On The Sun”).
Platinum song writer and singer, Sia, typically likes to shy away from the camera, and often performs with her back to the audience or with a paper bag over her head.
Well, it’s going to be a lot harder for her to hide from the lime light now, as her new album ’1000 Forms of Fear’ is #1 on the Billboard charts, and the first single ‘Chandelier’ is burning up the KiSS 92.5 airwaves.
Listen to the song now and check out the incredible video…


Every component, line of code, and product decision was built on our passion and determination to deliver the best NAS experience. The next generation of WD Red hard drives delivers on this promise with massive capacity and NASware 2.0, which further improves drive reliability and protects your data in the event of a power loss or power disruption.
WD's exclusive NASware technology, built into every WD Red hard drive.
WD's exclusive NASware 2.0 technology, which is built into every WD Red hard drive, improves NAS storage performance by reducing common hard drive concerns in NAS systems. They include concerns for things like compatibility, integration, upgradeability, reliability and cost-of-ownership that are experienced with a hard drive designed for desktop computers.
Desktop hard drives are designed for desktop computers.
WD Red is for NAS.
Desktop hard drives are designed for optimum performance and reliability in a desktop personal computer. Although they are an affordable alternative to enterprise-class drives, desktop drives have a higher level of risk for potential data loss and failure in an always-on RAID configured NAS system. Specific issues that you may experience using desktop drives in a NAS or RAID environment include:
Compatibility - Desktop hard drives are not always tested for compatibility in NAS and can present problems during integration.
Reliability - Most desktop drives are not designed for the high operating temperatures or always on, 24x7 operating environments making them less reliable when used in a NAS system.
Error recovery controls - Desktop drives are not traditionally designed for RAID environments and have controls that prevent the RAID controller from assisting in the event of an error which can cause the hard drive to drop off the RAID after a period of time. Rebuilding a RAID often requires several hours and can have a significant impact on downtime and productivity.
Noise and vibration - Typically designed for single drive applications, average desktop drives are not optimized for multi-drive systems which have higher noise and vibration levels. When these drives are added to a NAS, the additional vibration can reduce the reliability and life span of the drive.
Save power and money
NASware 2.0 further improves drive reliability and protects your data in the event of a power loss or power disruption. WD Red's optimized power usage results in significant power savings and lower hard drive operating temperatures within a small NAS environment, improving the overall reliability and performance of the drive and reduces the NAS cost of ownership.
Beyond the Desktop with NASware 2.0
WD Red drives include WD's exclusive NASware 2.0 technology that addresses many of the challenges a traditional desktop hard drive has in a NAS system. WD works directly with our partners to test compatibility and reduce our customer's guess work as to which drive is right for their NAS system. Designed to deliver a better customer experience in small NAS systems, this innovative firmware finely balances the most important attributes of performance, power, and reliability in multiple drive environments. The unique algorithms in NASware 2.0 optimize power and performance without compromising on the attributes that NAS-system owner's value.
Intelligent error recovery
With built in intelligent error recovery controls, NASware 2.0 also prevents hard drives from being dropped off the RAID due to extended error recovery. This feature provides more availability and less down time when rebuilding the RAID.
3D Active Balance Plus
Our enhanced dual-plane balance control technology significantly improves the overall drive performance and reliability. Hard drives that are not properly balanced may cause excessive vibration and noise in a multi-drive system, reduce the hard drive life span, and degrade the performance over time
Longer warranty coverage.
WD Red hard drives are backed by a 3-year limited warranty for greater peace of mind.
Specifically designed and tested for small office and home office, 1-5 bay NAS systems, small media servers and PCs with RAID.

This year marks director Luke Thornborough’s first foray into the New Zealand International Film Festival. Hot off the heels of Cannes where he presented Numb at the Short Film Corner, Luke now brings Skin to local audiences. Using a young man’s struggle to come to terms with his personal flaws as a lens through which to explore the age-old idea of nature vs nurture, Skin was a very personal project for Luke. Check out our resident movie-buff Shawn’s interview with him here:
Skin has been paired by the Festival with the feature The Wounded Angel. Set in Kazakhstan during the 90’s, Emir Baigazin’s film is a unique observation of male adolescence told through four separate stories and characters; so it’ll be interesting to see how the two films compliment one another given the broad themes of youthful masculinity and the struggles of identity that young people face. This is made even more interesting by the fact that the two films are from such disparate locales. Definitely not one to miss, The Wounded Angel will be screening in Auckland on July 30th where Luke Thornborough will also give the audience an exclusive talk about Skin.
When: 30th July
Where: Event Cinemas, Queen Street, Auckland (For Wellington screenings of The Wounded Angel, check out the NZIFF page here).


It happens every year.
Come Halloween, a number of automobiles once touted as the latest and greatest pass into the history books, either fondly remembered or ridiculed and reviled. And so, it's time to mourn the vehicles whose time has come and gone, passing into the great beyond for the 2018 model year.
Were they tricks or treats? You're about to find out, with wishes for a happy Halloween.
Buick Verano: Sold in China as the Excelle GT and in Europe as the Astra, the Verano compact sedan isn't particularly fuel-efficient, nor is it particularly fast. Although offered with turbocharged engines and manual transmissions, it was never the sports sedan the brand so eagerly wanted it to be. Instead, it was a compact, comfy cruiser, sold in an age in which such values aren't always highly valued.
Chevrolet SS: What a pity that few drivers ever got the chance to savor the scintillating Chevrolet SS. Built by GM's Holden division, this aggressive Australian sedan unleashes 415 horsepower from its naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V-8 and channels it through a six-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. Few automakers build cars like this and if they do, they come from the Fatherland and cost twice as much.
Chrysler 200: While the Chrysler 200's 2015 redesign was an enormous improvement from the models that previously wore the name, it still earned the wrath of Consumer Reports, which rated it one of the seven cars owners regret purchasing. "It would be generous to say Chrysler's 200 is mediocre," the editors wrote in April 2017. That alone is enough to seal its fate with potential buyers.
Dodge Viper: For 25 years, the Dodge Viper was a 10-cylinder fire-breathing hellion, eschewing niceties to prove its machismo to those with Y chromosomes. While born with no outside door handles, no side windows, and no air bags, later models would make concessions to civilization. Unrepentant to the end, its home was the track, where its fierce abilities proved its name was no marketing exercise.
Hyundai Azera: Initially sold as Hyundai's flagship in 2006, its position as Hyundai's finest ride was pre-empted in 2008 by the rear-wheel-drive Hyundai Genesis. When the Azera was redesigned for 2012, it was repositioned as a Toyota Avalon competitor in the large car category. But its lackluster demeanor won few friends. With demand declining for large sedans, the Azera bids the U.S. arrivederci.
Infiniti QX70: Like all great sporting machines, the QX70's styling ensures that it's more sport than utility. For some drivers -- especially those whose spouses pine for an SUV -- it makes the sacrifice of driving one instead of a sports sedan easier to take. Always a fun drive, the QX70's look hasn't changed in a decade. And with newer, sportier competitors on the market, the QX70 lingered a few years too long.
Jeep Patriot: For the past 11 years, the Patriot was the cheapest Jeep you could buy. Performance, both on-road and off, was modest at best, as was refinement. Ultimately, the Patriot was replaced the redesigned 2018 Compass, which inherited the Patriot's saving grace: it looks like a Jeep, in this case, much like the Grand Cherokee's little brother.

Ormolu – (from French ‘or moulu’, signifying ground or pounded gold) is an 18th-century English term for applying finely ground, high-carat gold in a mercury amalgam to an object of bronze.The mercury is driven off in a kiln leaving behind a gold-coloured veneer known as ‘gilt bronze’.
The manufacture of true ormolu employs a process known as mercury-gilding or fire-gilding, in which a solution of nitrate of mercury is applied to a piece of copper, brass, or bronze, followed by the application of an amalgam of gold and mercury. The item was then exposed to extreme heat until the mercury burned off and the gold remained, adhered to the metal object.
No true ormolu was produced in France after around 1830 because legislation had outlawed the use of mercury. Therefore, other techniques were used instead but nothing surpasses the original mercury-firing ormolu method for sheer beauty and richness of colour. Electroplating is the most common modern technique. Ormolu techniques are essentially the same as those used on silver, to produce silver-gilt (also known as vermeil).
16th century fashion for men was just as elaborate as any other century. Hats were mandatory and a man could face a fine if seen without one. Materials included cotton, velvet and satin. It was mostly flannel for lower class men. White shirts were billowy with long puffy sleeves. Worn over the shirts was the doublet, a fancy type of vest that was usually tied on both the front and sometimes the back man. The doublet came in all kinds of rich patterns and came to define the Renaissance man.
Lower class men wore a type of trousers called trews that were loose fitting. Upper class men wore puffy breeches, sometimes called Venetian breeches. 16th century fashion for men also saw the use of the trunkhouse which were puffy-like breeches with slits revealing contrasting colors. These types of breeches would be toned down in later centuries, but would come to the standard of a man’s wardrobe for the next few centuries. Men wore hose at this time, often made of wool, but sometimes silk for men who could afford it. Both short and long boots were available, but regular shoes made of leather were also an option. It was also popular in the 16th century fashion period for men to wear capes which was also a nice accessory that usually stopped around the back of the waist and sometimes sported over one shoulder.

Meanwhile, there was this time in my life where I was living in Washington, DC. Nothing policy-wonky; as a matter of fact I was a mouse-killer. I lived in a seventh floor studio apartment; it was mostly a pretty lonely year. I was buying music to pass the time, and somehow got into this one song on one French house music compilation (Respect is Burning, Part 2). "Casa Campo", by Clement, somehow grabbed me, and I've had a soft spot for that track ever since. And it wasn't like I was going to clubs or meeting people at that point. I was sitting in this seventh floor apartment, watching planes in the distance flying into National, listening to house music for no especially good reason. This is music for dancing and having sex and taking drugs, not sitting around your apartment being a stone-cold-sober mope-tastic pre-med. So, I can't explain why I was buying that kind of record, or why on that kind of record, it was this particular song at that time.
But even though now I can't find the CD in my stuff, every now and then I go find the song on the internet. I've never known anything about the person who made it--though you can look that up these days--and I can't even say why this la-de-da chill-out kinda song makes me happy. Especially with the little guitar bit at 0:27, it starts like something that should be playing at the pool bar in some kind of boutique hotel where probably nothing good ever happens and a lot of money changes hands to make those nothing-goods happen.
But, the pleasures of music can't always be explained, and the moment where a little synthesizer riff starts dancing around at about 3:33, with the bass kicking in a few seconds later, makes me inexplicably happy, moving my shoulders at my desk, as if somehow I was like, some Parisian getting ready to go to le discotheque.
Which is probably at least as inexplicable as, why there's still no CHIP fix, but there you have it.

CO2 LASER RESURFACING IN HOUSTON, TX
Dr. Joseph Perlman offers CO2 laser resurfacing to patients throughout Spring, Houston, The Woodlands, Atascocita, Conroe, Pasadena, Baytown, and the surrounding areas.

What Is CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
I am thrilled to announce that I can now offer my patients the remarkable benefits of fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. The Active FX™ and Deep FX™ treatment systems are single-session procedures that require minimal downtime. They can be conveniently performed in-office with the use of a topical anesthetic. These treatments effectively reduce wrinkles and fine lines, enhance skin tone and texture, diminish hyperpigmentation, and promote the generation of new collagen, resulting in a revitalized complexion. The entire procedure typically lasts around 45 minutes. For individuals with more profound wrinkles, the Deep FX™ treatment provides intensified correction. Furthermore, it stands out as the most effective option I have come across for addressing acne scarring.
To ensure the best possible outcomes, I advise my patients to begin skin treatments with my skilled aesthetician two weeks prior to the laser resurfacing. This approach guarantees consistent and optimal results.
New Laser Technology
A groundbreaking laser therapy treatment has emerged, offering a solution to eliminate fine lines and unsightly aging spots. The secret lies in inducing low-level skin damage through micro-beams, which in turn stimulates collagen growth and prompts the skin’s natural repair process.
The desire to counter the effects of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone, is prevalent among millions of Americans. However, with today’s active lifestyle, the extended recovery time associated with traditional laser treatments or facelift surgeries is not practical or desirable.
What Is the Process for CO2 Laser Resurfacing?
Dr. Perlman’s Advanced Plastic Surgery Centre presents an exciting solution for patients seeking a highly effective skin rejuvenation treatment that is minimally invasive. Introducing the UltraPulseEncore™, a cutting-edge skin resurfacing laser equipped with a unique CO2 Lite™ setting. This innovative feature allows for the treatment of fine lines and mild pigment disorders with just one pass, resulting in a quicker recovery period.
Unlike other non-invasive technologies that address wrinkles and spots individually and gradually over time, a single session with the UltraPulseEncore™ delivers immediate and remarkable results. The resurfacing process goes beyond merely softening imperfections; it actively eradicates signs of sun damage and aging, offering a comprehensive and enduring solution to skin-related concerns.
What Are Skin Improvements?
Patients are experiencing a multitude of skin improvements with minimal downtime and outstanding results. The remarkable beauty of this technology lies in its ability to achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance without the high costs, risks, and lengthy recovery associated with conventional cosmetic surgery or deep laser resurfacing.
The development of UltraPulseEncore™ featuring CO2 Lite™ was a response to the growing demand for less invasive resurfacing procedures. As the latest CO2 laser introduced by Lumenis Ltd., it follows the success of the UltraPulse5000C, a widely acclaimed gold standard for laser facial resurfacing in the industry, introduced seven years ago. With this advancement, patients can now enjoy the benefits of cutting-edge technology for achieving their desired results with greater ease and effectiveness.
