She & Him go back in time for the standards-filled ‘Classics’
She & Him
It’s really a wonder that She & Him didn’t record an album like this sooner. This is, after all, an outfit who have spent their existence fighting against the modern tide, with a transistor radio-ready pop and country throwback sound that should be familiar to anyone with a musty Burt Bacharach or Skeeter Davis record in their collections. What took Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward so long to do a full tribute to their varied influences?
The duo and their collaborators do themselves a great service by losing the stiffness that was evident through the first three Volumes of their recorded work. They accomplished this in the simplest fashion possible: by recording everything live. That decision helped bring a playful quality to many of the performances, particularly Deschanel who exhibits some audible delight at being able to coo her way through Dusty Springfield’s “Stay Awhile” and the jazz standard “Time After Time.” And the swinging arrangements that Ward & Co. cooked up for each tune feel as warm and lucid as a 45 pressed in the ’60s.
She & Him also make some smart choices with regards to song selection, avoiding any kitschy covers and completely eschew adapting any modern tunes to their aesthetic. In fact, the most current material they work with—Charles Aznavour’s “She”—is from 1974, and is a song that sounded almost nothing like the Anne Murray and John Denver track dominating the Adult Contemporary charts at the time. Beyond that, they stick to pop standards associated with your great-grandparents’ favorite singers like Jo Stafford, Ella Fitzgerald and Kay Starr.
Things get a little dicier when they dip into the ’60s, as Deschanel doesn’t have the pipes to match up with the likes of Maxine Brown and Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers (S&H covers their respective classics “Oh No Not My Baby” and “Unchained Melody”). They also make a complete muddle of Bacharach’s classic “This Guy’s In Love With You” by swapping the gender pronouns in the lyrics and giving it a uncomfortably peppy swing.
Throughout the rest of Classics, though, Deschanel is a delight, at times coy and romantic, and in other moments, moody and pensive. The live recording also puts some extra emphasis on her use of vibrato throughout, a bit of tonal color that adds richness and variety to her vocal performances and the album as a whole.


Arizona Bank Lets Sun Shine Through Skylights, Saves $74K in Electricity
3M Renewable Energy Division installed its 3M Sun Control Window Film at the National Bank of Arizona in Phoenix on the full-roof skylights of its 144,000-sq-foot headquarters to help the bank save in electricity costs. The 18,000 square feet of skylights allowed natural light to flood the premises. But with daily average high temperature in mid-summer of 102 degrees, and monthly rainfall averages under one inch, the skylights increased cooling costs.
The bank decided to take advantage of a comprehensive energy-efficiency rebate program being offered by its local electric utility, Salt River Project. With a grant, the bank installed 3M Window Film. The bank’s energy-efficiency makeover also included the installation of a new 250-ton chiller to supplement the old one, together with the addition of lighting sensors and new lighting technology. However, the full advantages of these upgrades would not be realized unless something was done to address the heat transmitted through the skylights.
The 3M Sun Control Window Film Prestige Exterior 40 was applied to the exterior of the glass. It reflects up to 97 percent of the sun’s heat-producing infrared light, and 99.9 percent of ultraviolet rays. The film is estimated to be saving the bank 249,000 kWh per year, and the total program is saving about 747,000 kWh per year, translating to more than $74,000 in electricity cost savings in the first year.

A sliding throw rug is one of my pet peeves. I have tried those rubber liners, that you put under the rug, but they don’t work well or very long. I came up with two solutions.
Throw Rug on Carpet
I attached several “Velcro” dots, the hook side, to the underside of my throw rug. The hook catches the loops of the carpet.
Throw Rug on Wood Floor
I have a small throw rug that I wanted by the back door, next to a matching 5’ X 8’ rug. I got out my upholstery needle and sewed them together with matching thread.
If all else fails, I try to anchor the rug under a piece of furniture.

National mentoring month urges citizens to get out and give back
COLUMBIA- January is a month dedicated to providing the youth of today with resources and support they need to be successful.
The National Mentoring Partnership or MENTOR, has been around for 25 years and aims to develop a national network that provides regional, state and local leadership and infrastructure to support quality mentoring relationships.
National Mentoring Month was joined and endorsed by President Barack Obama through a presidential proclamation in 2014, and is celebrating 15 years of connecting the nation’s youth with caring adult mentors.
“During National Mentoring Month, we honor all those who give of themselves to guide our young people, and we renew our commitment to realizing a future of opportunity for all,” Obama said.
Although Columbia recently released a report showing a gradual decline in volunteerism since 2012, this trend does not change the motivation of some Columbia residents.
MU senior Anthony Pendleton has volunteered at the Rainbow House since 2015 and acts as a mentor to many of the children at the center.
“A lot of these kids haven’t had a positive black male role model in their lives or any role model, and that’s what I am to them,” Pendleton said. “I show them that some of the behaviors they have seen or experienced aren’t right and that not everyone acts that way.”
The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics reported that only 25.3% of the national population volunteered in 2014, which was a 1.3% decline since 2012 when 26.5% of the population volunteered in their communities.
According to a report presented to the Columbia City Council, Columbia residents volunteered 33,864 hours of service in 2015, which is a significant decrease since a record high of 50,300 hours in 2012.
Marcus Williams is the Youth Specialist from Rainbow House and works with children firsthand. He said that mentorship is vital for communities.
“Mentorship is important because it provides people - children specifically, in this case - a support system outside of their home that can spur them on to do great things and make the right choices,” Williams said. “That relationship is often invaluable, and having it can make all the difference in the world.”
MU senior Deena Dalton volunteered at Columbia’s Boy’s and Girl’s club and even as a female Boy Scout leader. Dalton said that volunteering in your community is essential.
“If we want children to grow up to be behaved, contributing members to society, then we must install in them education and awareness today,” Dalton said. “It's important for kids to feel like they are being listened to and it's also important for kids to have someone they can look up to.”
According to MENTOR’s website, one in three children will grow up without a mentor in today’s society.
“Research confirms that quality mentoring relationships have powerful positive effects on young people in a variety of personal, academic, and professional situations,” MENTOR’s website states. “Ultimately, mentoring connects a young person to personal growth and development, and social and economic opportunity.”
The overall goal of National Mentoring Month is to build a movement of natural mentors like teachers, family friends and coaches who work to connect the youth with opportunities and networks.
In his proclamation, President Obama said he calls upon public officials, business and community leaders, educators and Americans to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies, activities and programs.


Samsung ST66 Overview
The Samsung ST66 digital camera is based around the pairing of a 16.1 megapixel image sensor and a 5x optical zoom lens, in a brushed metal body. On the rear panel is a 2.7-inch display.
The ST66's 5x zoom offers 35mm-equivalent focal lengths ranging from 25 to 125mm--a generous wide angle to a moderate telephoto--and has an f/2.5 maximum aperture at wide angle. There's no optical image stabilization on this model.
Features of the Samsung ST66 include a Live Panorama function similar to the sweep pano function found on some competing cameras, which automatically captures and stitches a panorama in-camera by simply sweeping the field of view across a scene while holding the shutter button. There's also a Smart Auto 2.0 mode which selects from a variety of scene modes, and identifies one that's closest to the current conditions, then configures the camera appropriately helping keep things simple for less experienced photographers.
Some more unusual features include a Magic Frame function (which overlays your image on a background, with options including Wall Art, Full Moon, Magazine, and Holiday), and a Picture-in-Picture mode that lets you overlay one shot on another, choosing an area where the second image should be visible. Perhaps most curious though is the Funny Face function, which uses face detection to locate facial features and then warps them in real time on the live preview. By using the multi-controller on the camera's rear, you can create effects such as making your subject's head or nose larger.
As well as still image capture, the Samsung ST66 can also record high definition movies. Videos are saved at 720p resolution--that's 1,280 x 720 pixels--with a frame rate of 30 frames per second.
Pricing for the Samsung ST66 is set at around US$120, with availability from March 2012.

Björn Albin, Katarina Hjelm, Jan Ekberg, Sölve Elmståhl, "County Differences in Mortality among Foreign-Born Compared to Native Swedes 1970–1999", Nursing Research and Practice, vol. 2012, Article ID 136581, 9 pages, 2012. https://doi.org/10.1155/2012/136581
County Differences in Mortality among Foreign-Born Compared to Native Swedes 1970–1999
Background. Regional variations in mortality and morbidity have been shown in Europe and USA. Longitudinal studies have found increased mortality, dissimilarities in mortality pattern, and differences in utilization of healthcare between foreign- and native-born Swedes. No study has been found comparing mortality among foreign-born and native-born Swedes in relation to catchment areas/counties. Methods. The aim was to describe and compare mortality among foreign-born persons and native Swedes during 1970–1999 in 24 counties in Sweden. Data from the Statistics Sweden and the National Board of Health and Welfare was used, and the database consisted of 723,948 persons, 361,974 foreign-born living in Sweden in 1970 and aged 16 years and above and 361,974 matched Swedish controls. Results. Latest county of residence independently explained higher mortality among foreign-born persons in all but four counties; OR varied from 1.01 to 1.29. Counties with a more rural structure showed the highest differences between foreign-born persons and native controls. Foreign-born persons had a lower mean age (1.0–4.3 years) at time of death. Conclusion. County of residence influences mortality; higher mortality is indicated among migrants than native Swedes in counties with a more rural structure. Further studies are needed to explore possible explanations.
Earlier studies have shown that mortality and morbidity vary in different parts of a country both in European countries and the US [1–4]. To our knowledge no study has compared mortality among foreign-born and native-born Swedes in relation to catchment areas such as counties. Geographical variation in mortality is due to influencing factors, in childhood and in adulthood, such as social class, employment status and social and physical environment , and unequal utilization of healthcare. Districts with high or low mortality could be identified in the UK . Another investigation showed an association between area of residence and stomach cancer or stroke . In Italy higher mortality for men was found in the north of the country compared to the south but the reversed pattern was evident for women .
Previous longitudinal studies of mortality, morbidity, and heath care utilization among foreign- and native-born Swedes during 1970–1999 have found increased mortality, dissimilarities in mortality pattern, and differences in utilization of hospital care [6–8]. The results showed higher mortality and a 2.5 to 2.8 years lower mean age at time of death for foreign-born persons compared to the Swedish controls. The mortality pattern showed a significantly higher number of deaths among foreign-born from neoplasm, diseases of the circulatory system, symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions, and injury and poisoning, according to the International Classification of Diseases, ranging from 1.0% to 5.3% higher prevalence . A tendency towards less healthcare utilization among migrants, especially men, as regards to the diagnosis groups symptoms, signs, and ill-defined conditions and injury and poisoning has been found .
In Sweden, geographical differences in mortality and morbidity of the total population have been described [9, 10]. The average lifetime was found to be longer in the southern part of Sweden. Cancer was more frequent in the three largest cities, whereas accident as cause of death was more often found in rural areas. Differences in utilization of healthcare in different age groups among elderly persons have been studied . The study found fewer days in hospital care and fewer visits to a general practitioner in the oldest age group, 80+, during the last year before death.
Swedish society has changed during the last century due to international migration and foreign-born people living in Sweden constituted 2004 11.5 percent of the total population . The population of foreign-born in Sweden shows a great mixture of different nationalities but is dominated by labour migrants from the Nordic countries, especially Finland, and European countries such as the former Yugoslavia, Germany, and Poland .
The differences in health found in previous investigations, among foreign-born and native Swedes, could be a general pattern or vary in different parts of Sweden. Whether differences in healthcare services between county council areas are related to mortality among foreign born is unknown. In accordance with the Swedish Health and Medical Services Act, there should be no differences in healthcare services . Earlier findings and the lack of studies in the area of geographical differences in mortality among foreign-born and native population warrant further studies.
The aim of this study was to describe and compare the county distribution of mortality among foreign- and Swedish-born persons during the years 1970–1999. The pattern will be discussed in relation to gender, year of birth, and age at death, testing the null hypothesis that no county differences in mortality exist between foreign-born and native Swedes.
2. Material and Methods
Data from Statistics Sweden (SCB) and the National Board of Health and Welfare Centre for Epidemiology covering the period 1970–1999 was analysed. The study population consisted of all 361,974 foreign-born persons aged 16 years and upward who were registered as living in Sweden in 1970, together with 361,974 matched Swedish controls for each person. The control was matched and was similar in age (±3 year), sex, occupation, type of employer, and lived in the same county in 1970. Type of employment was divided into three groups (government, municipal, or other employer). Occupation was coded according to the Nordic Occupation Classification System (NYK), and county represented all the 24 county council areas in Sweden. This data relates to the situation on 1 November 1970 and was taken from the National Census of 1970, which was a total census and checked against the National Population Register (RTB), which included data up to 31 December 1999. Each person was given a code if they were deceased, still living in Sweden, had emigrated, or if no information was available. Information from the National Board of Health and Welfare Centre for Epidemiology on date of death and death diagnosis was added to the database. In total 906,564 people were included, 50 percent foreign-born persons.
A Swedish matched control could not be found for 20,518 of the foreign-born persons due to the matching criteria. Exclusion criteria were as follows: if no information was available or if a person had emigrated or migrated back (“remigrated”), thus in total 163,896 persons were excluded from the database. Persons were then also excluded if the information from the control subject was missing due to migration. In total 182,614 persons, 109,458 men and 73,156 women, were excluded from the database; see Table 1.
The largest group of excluded foreign- born persons, 45,228 persons, consisted of persons born in Finland. In the original database 44,067 of them were coded as migrated (remigrated) and mortality among 37,904 (86%) of them could be analysed with data from the Population Register Centre in Finland. The analysis showed the same mortality risk among the excluded group as the Finnish-born persons who stayed in Sweden .
The database used for analysis finally consisted of 723,948 persons, 361,974 foreign-born and 361, 974 Swedish controls. Latest county of residence was used to distribute the study population in different geographical areas in Sweden. Mobility in Sweden between different counties showed a similar pattern. Among persons still living in 1990, 27.2% of foreign-born and 25.5% of Swedes had lived in the same county during 1970–1990 () and 81.1% versus 85.52% might have moved during the study period but were living the same county in 1990 as in 1970.
2.1. Characteristics of County Council Areas in Sweden
The 24 counties in Sweden differ with regard to population and area. The population varies from the largest one (Stockholm) with 1,860,872 inhabitants to the smallest (Gotland) with 57,535 inhabitants (SCB, 2004). The four most densely populated counties are, as in 1970, Stockholm, Göteborg och Bohus, Malmöhus, and Östergötland. Gotland, Blekinge, Kronoberg, and Kalmar represent the less populated and could be considered as more rural counties according to the national classification . The different counties also vary in terms of area, which tends to be larger in the north of Sweden, Norrbotten is the largest, covering an area of 98,249.5 km2. In contrast, the smallest county (Blekinge) has an area of 2,946.7 km2.
2.2. Statistical Analysis
Values from the total cohort sample are given as numbers, means, and percentages. Comparisons were made by tests of significance with Mann-Whitney U test and Chi-square test. A value of was considered statistically significant . Logistic regression analysis was performed and a model tested, adjusted for age and sex, with the two independent variables foreign-born and latest county of residence (categorical) and the dependent variable dead or alive. Uppsala County, with the lowest mortality, was used as reference.
Cox regression analysis was performed in two age groups: persons aged 60–69 years and 80 years or more. The analysis was adjusted for sex and age and tested the importance of being foreign born and latest county of residence (categorical). Uppsala was also in this analysis used as reference.
All analyses were performed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), version 11.5.
Approval of the study was granted from the Ethics Committee of Lund University, Sweden, after a reviewing process from all other university ethics committees in Sweden.
3.1. Characteristics of Counties and Differences in Mortality in relation to being a Foreign-Born Person
The study population was geographically distributed among the 24 different county council areas that made up the regional organization of Sweden in 1970. The major groups of foreign-born persons were found in the counties of Stockholm, Göteborg och Bohus, and Malmöhus; see Table 2. There were no significant differences between foreign- and Swedish-born persons in the different counties in relation to sex. In four counties (Stockholm, Göteborg & Bohus, Västmanland, and Norrbotten), foreign-born persons had a significantly lower mean age than Swedish-born persons. The mean age was significantly higher among foreign-born men than Swedish-born men in eight and significantly lower in three counties. Foreign-born women had a higher mean age in nine and a lower mean age in three compared to Swedish-born women (Table 3).
During the studied period 1970–1999, a total of 116,063 foreign-born and 104,865 Swedish control persons had died. There was significant higher mortality for foreign-born persons than native Swedes in all counties with one exception, Norrbotten. The highest percentage of deceased among foreign-born persons was found in Gotland (43%), Värmland (40.0%), and Jämtland (37.4%). The largest difference in deceased subjects, with higher mortality among foreign-born than Swedish-born persons, was found in the rural counties of Gotland (7.6%), Blekinge (7.1%), Kalmar (5.9%), and Kronoberg (5.7%).
3.2. Influence of Gender on Mortality
There was significant higher mortality in all counties for men and in 19 of the 24 counties for women (Tables 4(a) and 4(b)). The highest proportion of deceased foreign-born men was found in Gotland (49.7%), Värmland (45.3%), and Jämtland (41.3%), see Table 4(a). The largest difference in percentage between deceased foreign- and Swedish-born male persons was in Gotland (11.4%), Blekinge (9.0%), Jämtland (7.9%), and Jönköping (7.6%). Foreign-born women had the highest percentage of deceased in Gotland (39.3%), Värmland (36.0%), and Norrbotten (32.8%). The difference in percentage between foreign- and Swedish-born deceased female persons was largest in the rural counties of Kalmar (5.3%), Blekinge (5.2%), Kronoberg (4.8%), and Gotland (4.7%); see Table 4(b).
3.3. Influence of Age on Mortality
Mean age at time of death was significantly lower for foreign- than Swedish-born men in all counties, ranging from 1.0 to 4.4 years, except for Kalmar and Gotland (Table 5). For women significant differences in mean age at time of death were found in 19 counties. There was a larger difference in mean age at time of death between foreign- and Swedish-born men than between foreign- and Swedish-born women in all counties. Differences in survival time between foreign- and Swedish-born persons were studied in particular in two age groups of older persons, those aged 60–69 and 80+, using Cox regression analysis. In the age group 60–69 years, foreign-born persons had a significantly lower survival time in two counties, Norrbotten and Värmland. No difference was found in any of the other counties. In the age group 80+ no significant differences were found.
3.4. Multifactorial Influence on Mortality
Logistic regression analysis studying the influence of being foreign-born and latest county of residence on mortality showed that being foreign-born was, adjusted for age and sex, an independent influencing factor (, ), as was county, except in four county council areas (Kronoberg, Kalmar, Kristianstad, Halland and Skaraborg) and the OR varied from 1.01 to 1.29; see Table 6.
The major findings in this study were that latest county of residence was an independent factor influencing mortality and that a variation with significantly higher mortality was found in all but one Swedish county among foreign-born persons compared with native Swedes. The highest difference compared to native controls of deceased foreign-born was found in counties with a more rural structure. Several factors might explain the noted differences, such as the size of the foreign-born population, differences in the healthcare system’s ability to deliver healthcare, social network, stress, and economic resources.
5. Strengths and Limitations
The study of regional differences in mortality among foreign-born and native Swedes 1970–1999 was based on data from Statistics Sweden and from the National Board of Health and Welfare Centre for Epidemiology.
The data used to establish the database originated from the Population and Housing Census of 1970, which is considered to be a total census as it was compulsory by law to take part. The number of dropouts has not been estimated for the total census, only for some of the variables such as “occupation”, which Statistics Sweden estimates to be 3.5–4.5%. One can only speculate about whether participation in the census is related to health problems and whether dropout might differ between foreign-born and native healthy Swedes. It seems unlikely that the proportion of healthy foreign-born should be higher than native Swedes and thereby introduce selection bias. Another reason why migrants do not participate in the census could be language problems.
A Swedish matched control could not be found for 20,518 of the foreign-born persons due to the matching criteria. The geographical distribution of the excluded persons was not different from the distribution in the database used.
The excluded group varies in proportion with regard to country/region of birth. Excluded persons from Finland constitute the largest proportion (30.8%). A followup of Finns who had remigrated was performed and showed no differences in mortality from the group of Finns included in the study . Persons born in Finland constitute the largest group of migrants living in Sweden and were also the largest migrant group in the database used. There are no reasons to believe that “remigrants” born in other countries differ from the Finnish group.
Selection bias has to be considered. The excluded persons had a lower mean age than the persons in the database, with the exception of persons born in the former Yugoslavia, but their Swedish control person of the same age was also excluded. Only 8.1% of the excluded persons had reached the age of 60–69 and 2.6% the age of 80+. There is no reason to assume that the excluded persons influenced the survival analysis using these two age groups, due to the low proportion of excluded persons above 60 years of age.
Latest county of residence has been used as a variable. Migration within Sweden might have occurred and labour migration by healthier persons to urban areas could explain the higher mortality in rural counties. However, the pattern of internal migration within Sweden showed similarities between foreign-born and native Swedes. Among foreign-born persons still living in Sweden 1990, 53.9% had changed county of residence during 1979–1999 but moved back to the same county 1990 as the one they lived in 1970, corresponding proportion for native Swedes was 60%.
The rural counties had in common that the proportion of foreign-born persons in their populations was low compared to the more urban counties. For some ethnic groups higher density in an area of persons from the same ethnic group has been shown to have a positive effect on self-rated health, limiting long-standing illness , and reduce odds of infants mortality . Belonging to a small migrant group may be a risk factor; earlier studies have shown higher hospital rates for mental health problems in areas where migrants constitute a small proportion of the community . The result has been interpreted as showing that if you belong to a larger migrant group it is likely that the stress connected with being a migrant could be reduced due to stronger social network . Stress is also known to increase the susceptibility to other diseases such as diabetes and hypertension [19, 20]. Furthermore, the ability of the healthcare systems, both hospitals and outpatient facilities, to handle and to investigate symptoms and signs among migrants is most likely to be poorer in counties with few migrants. It could be hypothesized that delay or misunderstanding in diagnosis and treatment and healthcare staff with insufficient “language skills” and understanding of cultural differences could influence mortality. In a previous study it was shown that symptoms, signs, and ill-defined condition were more common as cause of death among foreign-born compared to native Swedish persons .
Another explanatory factor could be differences in social networks in different geographical areas . Poor social network and low social support are more common among foreign-born persons  and have been shown to influence and increase mortality .
Generally no significantly higher mortality among migrants was found in Norrbotten, but mortality was higher for men when men and women were analysed separately.
This county has close cultural contacts with Finland  and many inhabitants are bilingual. A short cultural distance between migrants and native population has been described as important for health .
The differences in mortality in all Swedish counties, with one exception, among foreign-born persons compared with native Swedes could indicate differences in economic resources and needs in the population. One measure of economic resources in the county was the local tax rate. In the middle of the studied period (1985), local tax per unit differed from 28.46% (Kristianstad) to 32.00% in Blekinge of taxable income , although the taxation differences were also equalized by a national taxation transfer system . Whether differences in economic resources between counties might influence the noted mortality differences in relation to foreign-born persons requires further analysis.
More healthcare needs are connected with an elderly population  and in 1985 the share of the population aged 80 years or more in the counties varied from 2.7% to 4.2% . The lowest percentage for this age group was found in Norrbotten. The counties of Gotland and Blekinge, with the largest proportion of deceased foreign-born persons, were also characterized in 1985 by a low percentage of foreign-born persons (2.3% and 5.1%) and average or higher than average percentage of the population 80 aged years or more (3.8% and 3.9%).
There are a strong connection between increased mortality and increased age [9, 10, 12]. A higher mean age in the foreign-born population could also explain the larger proportion of deceased foreign-born women in two counties (Kalmar and Gotland) but was not found in the counties of Kronoberg and Blekinge. Furthermore, the variation in mortality between counties with higher mortality among foreign-born remained after adjustment for age and gender.
Other explanatory factors could be work environment and type of employment. Foreign-born men have to a higher degree been employed in private manufacturing industry, which is often found in rural counties like Kronoberg, Kalmar, and Blekinge . Foreign-born women in Sweden could to a higher extent be exposed to shift work and physical and stressful work [29, 30].
In most counties and especially for men, the mean age at time of death is lower among foreign-born persons than native Swedes. The mean age at time of death of foreign- born men in the two counties Norrbotten and Värmland with highest OR was 2.4 to 3.7 years lower than native Swedes and correspondingly 1.3 to 1.8 years lower for women. Cox regression analysis also confirms a lower survival time for foreign-born persons in the counties of Norrbotten and Värmland for the age group 60–69.
In conclusion, county of residence influences mortality, and the study indicates a tendency to higher mortality among foreign-born persons than native Swedes in counties with a more rural structure. Further studies are needed to explore possible explanations and to establish the county-specific characteristics to explain variations between county council areas.

Well, let’s start with the basics. Thanks to comprehensive go-faster upgrades brought by Manthey-Racing, the Porsche GT4 Clubsport MR is an idea more extreme than its forefather. The battery, for example, is a lightweight unit developed specifically for racing cars. Then there’s the carbon fiber doors, the carbon fiber hood, and polycarbonate windscreen. Taken together, all these goodies account for a curb weight drop of 88 pounds (40 kilograms).
Peel off the race-ready skin and you’ll find a two-way adjustable race suspension with linear bearings and a similarly adjustable sway bar. The detail which rounds off the GT4 Clubsport MR nicely is a honking rear wing with extended wing brackets. It looks fast even when it’s sitting still, doesn’t it?
“We welcome the updated Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport package into our offerings for motorsport customers in North America,” tells Jens Walther, the president and CEO of Porsche Motorsport North America. “Customer racing is the structure on which all sports car racing is built, and as the GT3 and ACO classes become more manufacturer-oriented, the GT4 category provides a more attainable entry point to compete in sports car racing.”
And yes, this car is an SRO-homologized GT4 brute. Prospective customers will be happy to know that the GT4 Clubsport MR is eligible for the Pirelli World Challenge GTS class and IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge GS class. The Porsche GT4 Clubsport MR and the Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport are exclusively available through Porsche Motorsport North America.
Meanwhile, in Porsche land, word has it the road-going Cayman GT4 and the Boxster Spyder are due to be facelifted in the near future. The incoming revision to 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Boxster Spyder won’t see the two lose their naturally aspirated flat-six engine, which is jolly good news.

The Citizens’ Manifesto notes with grave concern the continued collapse of the Zimbabwean economy and the social crisis caused by the deterioration in the standards of living of citizens due erosion of incomes by incessant price hikes, coupled with attempts by the authorities to close the space for workers’ collective bargaining. Repeated calls for the authorities to address the situation have been met with reluctance, palpable lack of concern and lack of urgent action. Following the recent 2nd National Citizens Convention (NCC) on 24-25 September 2019, citizens expressed unequivocal calls for the government to act urgently on the issues they raised in the Convention’s widely circulated communique.
The Citizens’ Manifesto reiterates its call for an inclusive national dialogue which encompasses the aspirations of the nation in all its diversity. In a communique dated 6 February 2019 and a position paper of May 2019, titled: “Towards a Framework for Inclusive National Dialogue” which followed a national consultation meeting and engagements with the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC), the Citizens’ Manifesto has proposed a framework for an inclusive national dialogue, underpinned by the following eight (8) conditions:
- Informed Participation
- Safety and Security
- Neutral and Credible Convening
- Technically Competent Facilitation
- People Centered- Agenda
- International Mediation and Guarantee
- Independent Monitoring
In this regard, we note and welcome various efforts towards urging the nation to embrace national dialogue, including the recent call by the Heads of Christian Denominations for a National Sabbath. The Citizens’ Manifesto lauds and supports the ongoing efforts by the church to unlock the protracted crisis, but reiterates that any outcome of the envisaged inclusive national dialogue should not be prescribed ahead of time, but must emerge as a direct result of clearly outlined and transparent processes which are premised on broad-based consultation of citizens from all spheres of society. With all due respect to the positions taken by the churches, it falls short in pushing for an outcome without due process.
While there may be temptations, like in past political dialogues, to merely address the question of political power, Zimbabwe’s crisis has deep-seated social and economic dimensions which require urgent comprehensive redressing. Our multi-faceted crisis requires a broad-based approach to bring about a lasting and acceptable solution.
While Citizens’ Manifesto recognizes the urgency of our national crisis, and incessant attacks on citizens’ livelihoods and basic dignity, we emphasize the need to restrain from prescribing solutions which skirt around the wholesale brokenness of our system. Most importantly the Constitution, as the repository of the social contract, should never be made collateral damage in any search for solutions. Indeed, in the midst of this urgency, our search for solutions out of this impasse must be anchored on sacrosanct respect for Citizens, Country and Constitution.

Pathological processes observed in the stomatognathic systems of mammalian species are a useful source of information about the habits, evolution and general health of such animals. Studies of pathological conditions on teeth are common in humans and other primates, but rare in wild animals in general and marine mammals in particular. For cetaceans, previous studies provided scanty records of dental anomalies in a few species. This is the first broad and systematic inventory of dental pathology in dolphins. Specimens stored at scientific collections from the southern coast of Brazil were visually inspected under a stereoscopic microscope using a dental explorer. Diagnosis of lesions and anomalies followed literature descriptions. Abnormalities such as caries-like lesions, mineralized calculus deposits, dental erosion, enamel anomalies (hypoplasia and exogenous pigmentation), root resorption, germination and other shape anomalies, were diagnosed in the delphinids Sotalia guianensis, Delphinus capensis, Stenella frontalis, Stenella coeruleoalba, Lagenodelphis hosei, Pseudorca crassidens, Orcinus orca, Steno bredanensis and Tursiops truncatus. Endogenous causes may be related to the occurrence of certain conditions, but the aetiology of caries-like lesions and calculus accumulation is still unknown for cetaceans. The diagnosis of alveolar anomalies and other bone lesions in specimens with dental pathology lead us to believe these lesions modify the integrity of the periodontal ligament and bony tissues, adding to the burden of morbidity of affected animals.

PESHAWAR, 27 June: More than 50 clerics associated with Tanzeem Ittehad-e-Ummat Pakistan (TIUP) have jointly issued a decree that marriage with a transgender person was legal in accordance with the Sharia.
On the advice of chief of TIUP Muhammad Ziaul Haq Naqshbandi, Mufti Muhammad Imran Hanafi Qadri issued the decree after getting authenticated from the board of more than 50 clerics.
The decree said that a transgender person having signs of being a male may marry a transgender with signs of being a female and vice versa. Similarly normal men and women may also marry a transgender, the decree read. However, it ruled that a transgender having signs of both genders or intersex may not marry anyone.
It also declared that transgender people should not be deprived of family inheritance and that parents who drive transgender children out of their homes deserved the wrath of God.
The decree urged the government to take actions against such parents.
The fatwa further declared that humiliating, insulting or teasing transgender people was sinful act. They should be buried and thier funeral rituals be performed like other normal Mulsim men and women, it stated
The decree also asked the transgender people to refrain from doing sinful acts adding that Sharia laws were equally applicable to all Muslims including men, women and transgender people.

Last year when Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone paid $85 million for the Spelling mansion in Holmby Hills, it was one of the most expensive real estate transactions in recent memory.
Impressively, she pulled off the deal after just two days of negotiating and paid a $65 million discount off Candy Spelling's initial asking price of $150 million.
But it seems that Ecclestone has a certain Russian oligarch to thank for making her deal so sweet.
According to Alexei Barrionuevo of The New York Times, Dmitry Rybolovlev, the billionaire who bought his daughter an $88 million apartment on Central Park West, had negotiated to by the Spelling mansion several months earlier.
One interesting twist in the script is that the deal to buy the Manor from Ms. Spelling, the widow of the producer Aaron Spelling, would most likely not have been possible — especially in the mere 48 hours it took to finalize — without another prospective buyer's negotiation on the home with Ms. Spelling nine months earlier.
In late 2010 Dmitry Rybolovlev, the Russian potash fertilizer billionaire, quietly made a visit to Los Angeles with his eldest daughter, Ekaterina. He made offers on at least two of the most famous mansions in Beverly Hills and Holmby Hills, including the Spelling manor, before deciding not to buy a home on the West Coast, at least for now, according to people familiar with their deliberations who declined to be named for confidentiality reasons.
While Rybolovlev left the West Coast without buying any real estate, he appears to have primed Spelling for the sale to Ecclestone.
It seems that Ms. Spelling was eager to sell for that price because Mr. Rybolovlev had already negotiated with her down to that number in 2010, said one person familiar with the discussions.

One Of A Kind Handmade Creepy Rag Dolls
by Jodi Cain
The inspiration for my dolls comes from my interest in Macabre, Horror, Gore, and my intrigue with both Gothic, and Punk fashion.
My dolls are completely hand stitched, stand around 22 inches tall, and are made without patterns, making each of them unique and one of a kind.
I use only the finest quality supplies, I take pride in my work, detail is very important to me, and I continually strive to be a better artist.
I absolutely adore doll making, and I am always thrilled to ship them off to their new homes.

ACT branches out, targets adultsSeptember 27, 2013
By CANDY NEAL
Herald Staff Writer
A new theatrical experience will be available to Dubois County adults next weekend.
Hidden Masks, a new division of Actors Community Theatre, will perform the musical “Starting Here, Starting Now” next Friday and Saturday, Oct. 5, at Reflections in Huntingburg.
Hidden Masks productions are geared to a specific audience: patrons who are 18 or older.
“That doesn’t mean that the content is risque,” ACT President Jasmine Ruckriegel said. “It’s just something that you wouldn’t bring your entire family to.”
The idea for Hidden Masks came from theatergoers as well as actors.
“One of the things we were hearing from our patrons was that we don’t do anything outside of the children and family show realm,” Ruckriegel said. “The shows we do are always family-oriented.”
At the same time, the actors wanted to expand their repertoire. “We wanted to experiment a little more,” she said.
The Hidden Masks name was derived from the happy and sad face masks that are synonymous with the theater.
“We wanted to take the theater masks and give it a twist,” Ruckriegel said. “We want people to know that with Hidden Masks, the productions will be on an experimental level.”
“Starting Here, Starting Now” is a musical created by lyricist Richard Maltby Jr. and musician David Shire. The show focuses on young love and the confusion of growing up, with a six-member cast performing songs that relate to modern relationships.
“The show is a music revue,” Ruckriegel said. “There’s no story line per se. The show will feature songs about love, love lost, life and moving on. While that’s not risque, it’s not something you’d see in a show like ”˜Tom Sawyer.’”
The performances will be paired with dinner, with the meal served prior to the show. ACT is looking at making all Hidden Masks shows dinner theater.
“This is unique for our area,” Ruckriegel said. “Now, you have to go to Louisville or Indianapolis to do a dinner theater.”
ACT’s board hopes to have a Hidden Masks production each fall.
While adding the new type of production, the acting group assures its traditional audiences that it will continue providing entertainment that the entire family can enjoy.
“We want Hidden Masks to be something that is distinct and will stand on its own,” Ruckriegel said. “We want to explore a part of theater that is both thought-provoking and challenging.”

An Introduction to Ancient Mesopotamian Religion
In An Introduction to Mesopotamian Religion Tammi J. Schneider offers readers a basic guide to the religion of the peoples living in the region of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers from the beginning of the Bronze Age to the time of Alexander the Great and Darius III. Drawing from extant texts, artifacts, and architecture, Schneider reveals a complex, fluid, and highly ritualized polytheism and describes both its intriguing pantheon of deities and the religious experience of the people who spent their lives serving and appeasing them.

The healthcare group Fresenius has issued its first sustainability-linked Schuldschein loan with a volume of 850 million euros. It consists of 6 tranches with maturities of 3, 5 and 7 years, each offered with fixed and variable interest rates.
The margin of the Schuldschein loan is linked to the achievement of sustainability targets from two areas that are core to Fresenius as a healthcare group: treatment quality and product safety.
Sara Hennicken, CFO of Fresenius: “Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in financing. We are taking this into account with our first sustainable Schuldschein loan. With this transaction, we are diversifying our investor base and further strengthening our liquidity.”
The high investor demand significantly exceeded the originally intended volume of 300 million euros. This made it possible to set the pricing for each tranche at the tight end of the marketing range. In total, more than 50 institutional investors from Europe and Asia participated in the transaction.
The proceeds from the Schuldschein loan will be used for general corporate purposes, including the refinancing of existing financial liabilities. Settlement is scheduled for May 30, 2023.
The transaction was arranged by DZ BANK AG, Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale and ING. ING has acted as Sustainability Structuring Advisor to this transaction.
