FAYETTEVILLE — Even teams familiar with the spotlight get tense now and again.
They tend to figure out it eventually, though.
Northside did exactly that on its way to a 61-44 quarterfinals win against Rogers in the 7A State Tournament at Fayetteville High on Thursday. Olivia Hanson scored 18 points and Northside used a 13-0 run in the second quarter to overcome a sloppy start
With the win, Northside will make its 15th appearance in the semifinals in the last 16 years.
Almost a year ago Northside lost to Cabot by a single point in the state championship game. With nearly the entire team returning, Thursday marked the first real step back toward that destination and the pressure was evident early as Northside took a rare deficit into the second quarter.
Hanson came alive then, connecting on three 3s in the second quarter, including one from about 21 feet to end the half. She grinned slightly as her nerves were clearly calmed. She remained sly after the game.
“I heard a couple people in the stands say that (she traveled),” Hanson said. “I don’t know about it.”
Rogers didn’t dominate the first quarter despite taking an 11-9 lead into the second, but it was playing the down-tempo game it wanted. Northside wasn’t helping its cause by going 0-for-8 from the floor and committing three turnovers in the quarter’s final five minutes.
“Just hadn’t played. Rogers had already played. We weren’t playing bad, just weren’t hitting shots,” Northside coach Rickey Smith said. “That’s why I wasn’t panicking a lot. We were getting good looks, it was just a matter of hitting a shot or two.”
They did in the second. Northside outscored Rogers 21-8 in what turned out to be a decisive second quarter.
“It just kind of avalanched on us there in the second quarter,” Rogers coach Preston Early said. “We couldn’t get it stopped. We used three or four timeouts, but we just couldn’t get it stopped.”
Taylor Strickland did most of the Rogers damage, finishing with 17 points. She was the only Rogers player in double figures.
Smith was hoping he wouldn’t have to face Rogers and his pal, Early, in order to hopefully get back to Little Rock for the title game.
“Coach Early and I are very good friends. Thought we might make it a whole year without playing each other,” Smith said. “Give Rogers a lot of credit. Strickland has had a wonderful career. She’s dominated this league for a long time.”
Hanson and Co. are one game away from getting a chance at the elusive state title. Northside will play North Little Rock in the semifinals Saturday at noon. It’s the third straight year the teams have met in the semis.
Bentonville 79, Northside 56
BOYS — The Grizzlies season ended prematurely for coach Eric Burnett’s tastes. He was less disappointed in the loss than the way Northside lost.
Nick Smith scored 40 points, including 16 in the first quarter, and Burnett’s bunch never found the answer.
Northside never quite appeared ready as the Grizzlies missed several layups, free throws and generally allowed Smith to do whatever he felt on the offensive end.
“They came and got after us and we didn’t respond from start to finish,” Burnett said. “I always told them, ‘I can’t rebound for you, I can’t shoot for you. You have to mentally tough.’ And they weren’t tonight.”
The Tigers shot 53 percent from the field and outrebounded Northside 36-22.
At 6-foot-8, Smith was a matchup problem all game. He dominated the paint and had no trouble stepping out for 3-pointers, hitting 5 of 6 from beyond the arc. Stephon Barron, Northside’s tallest player, began the game guarding him. Benow Stevenson, the Grizzlies strongest player, switched midway through the first quarter. Whatever the Grizzlies threw at him, Smith shrugged away.
He finished with 40 points on 15-of-22 shooting and 11 rebounds.
Already leading by 15 after the first quarter, Bentonville just kept coming at Northside. Smith opened the second with a layup. Smith and Austin Haggard made a pair of inside hoops a couple possessions later and Smith swished a 3 during a 13-0 run and Bentonville built the lead as large as 26 points.
“When you come out and get beat like that, I question you being ready,” Burnett said. “This is do-or-die and you come out and lay an egg like that, something’s wrong. Mentally we weren’t ready to play.”
Northside was familiar with Smith’s skills, having played in 7A-West against him the past couple seasons. Burnett warned his team about what to expect, he said.
“Nick has gotten better each year. I’ve got to give that kid credit,” Burnett said. “He’s worked. And that’s one thing we’ve got to learn, how to work like him, get better each year and put in time. … We have to get tougher. Grow up a little bit.”
Jace Richardson was the most consistent player for Northside. He finished with 11 points on 5-of-8 from the field. Seniors Darrick Church and Stevenson finished with eight and four points.

July 1: Top ten Classics I want to read
This is a GREAT challenge list for me (no, really!). If you read this blog you’ll know I’m not a big fan of the Classics, not necessarily because I don’t want to read them but because I just can’t seem to buckle down and actually do it, not when there are all sorts of shiny new books coming at me every year! But really I feel like I have no valid excuse or reason not to read Classics, especially these that I’ve been curious about for years. In no particular order:
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
Honorable Mentions: The Feminine Mystique (Friedan), Slaughterhouse-Five (Vonnegut), The Grapes of Wrath (Steinbeck), The Metamorphosis (Kafka), As I Lay Dying (Faulkner),
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Joyce), Walden (Thoreau), Invisible Man (Ellison).

Your car’s battery is often an unsung hero, quietly working behind the scenes to power the electrical systems that make modern vehicles run. While you might not think about it often, the importance of your car’s battery cannot be overstated. We have compiled a comprehensive guide to have a quick look into the significance of your car’s battery, the signs that it’s time for a replacement, the battery maintenance checklist, and how to maintain it to make sure your vehicle starts reliably.
Your car’s battery is like its heart. It provides the initial burst of energy to crank the engine, powers the lights, stereo, air conditioning, and various electrical systems, and stores energy to keep everything functioning when the engine is off. In essence, without a functioning battery, your car won’t start; even if it does, many of its essential functions won’t work.
One of the primary functions of your car’s battery is to provide the power needed to start the engine. The battery sends electricity to the starter motor when you turn the key or push the ignition button. This, in turn, cranks the engine and sets the internal combustion process in motion. A healthy battery is essential for quick and reliable engine starts.
There are several telltale signs that suggest your battery might be on the decline. Let’s look at the signs that tell how to know if a car battery needs to be replaced.
One of the earliest signs of a failing battery is reduced cranking power. When you turn the key, if the engine cranks more slowly than usual or struggles to start, it’s a clear indicator that your battery might be losing its capacity to provide the necessary power.
When your battery is no longer holding a charge effectively, you might notice the lights in your vehicle dimming inside and outside. Dimming headlights, dashboard, or interior lights are common signs of a weakening battery.
As your battery weakens, you may experience malfunctions in various electrical components. These could include issues with the power windows, radio, air conditioning, or other accessories. If these problems appear when you turn on these components, your battery’s condition is worth considering.
Physically inspecting your battery can provide valuable information about its health. If you notice a swollen or bloated battery case, it’s a sign that it might be overheating and could be on the verge of failing. Additionally, corrosion around the battery terminals can hinder electrical connectivity and should be addressed.
If you find yourself needing frequent jump-starts to get your vehicle going, it’s a clear indication that your battery is struggling to maintain its charge. While jump-starting can temporarily revive a weak battery, it’s not a long-term solution.
The typical duration of a car battery’s life usually falls within 3 to 5 years. If your battery is reaching the end of this range, it’s wise to start considering a replacement, especially if you’ve experienced any of the above signs.
Proper maintenance can extend your car battery’s life and make sure it operates at its best. Here are some essential battery maintenance tips to keep your battery in good condition.
Always Keep the Terminals Clean
Regularly inspect and clean the battery terminals. Corrosion can develop on the terminals, hindering electrical connections. To clean them, disconnect the terminals, scrub them with a battery terminal brush, and rinse them with water and baking soda. Make sure to reattach them securely.
A loose battery can vibrate and damage the internal components. Make sure that your battery is securely fastened to prevent any movement. Check the bracket that holds the battery down and tighten it if necessary.
Electrical components left on when the engine is off can quickly drain the battery. Be sure to turn off all lights, the radio, and other accessories when you exit the vehicle. Also, avoid leaving your vehicle parked for extended periods without driving it.
If your battery has removable caps, you can check the electrolyte levels. The electrolyte should cover the lead plates. If it’s low, add distilled water to the appropriate level, but be cautious not to overfill.
Periodic battery testing can help identify issues before they become critical. Many car repair shops and auto parts stores offer battery testing services. These tests can assess the battery’s capacity and provide insights into its condition.
Extended periods of inactivity can lead to battery problems. If your vehicle is parked for a while, consider driving it at least once a week to keep the battery charged. If you have an unused secondary vehicle, a trickle charger or battery maintainer can help keep it in optimal condition.
Extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, can affect your battery’s performance. When possible, park your vehicle in a garage or a shaded area to shield it from extreme temperatures. If you live in an area with harsh winters, consider using a battery insulation kit or thermal blanket to maintain a moderate temperature.
While proper maintenance can extend your battery’s life, there will come a time when it needs to be replaced. Here are some key indicators that it’s time to consider a new battery.
- Ageing Of Battery: Car batteries typically last 3 to 5 years. If your battery is approaching this age range, it’s a good idea to consider a replacement, even if you have yet to experience any specific issues.
- Slow Engine Crank Sounds: If your engine cranks more slowly than usual or struggles to start, it’s a sign of a weakening battery. A new battery can provide the necessary power for quick and reliable starts.
- Frequent Jump-Starts: Relying on jump-starts to get your vehicle going is not a sustainable solution. If you find yourself needing frequent jump-starts, it’s time to invest in a new battery.
- Dimming Headlights and Electrical Issues: Dimming headlights, flickering dashboard lights, or electrical component malfunctions are signs of a battery no longer holding a charge effectively. A new battery can restore proper electrical performance.
- Swollen or Corroded Battery: A swollen or corroded battery indicates overheating and potential internal damage. It’s best to replace the battery to avoid further issues.
- Testing Indicates Battery Weakness: If a battery test reveals that your battery’s capacity is significantly diminished, it’s a clear indication that it’s time for a replacement.
Your car’s battery is an essential component that plays a vital role in the operation of your vehicle. Understanding the importance of your car battery, recognising signs of failure, and knowing how to maintain it can help you avoid unexpected breakdowns. Regular maintenance, proper charging, and timely replacement when necessary will ensure your car’s electrical system runs smoothly, providing reliable starts and preserving your vehicle’s performance. When you observe the signs indicating that your battery needs replacement, don’t hesitate to call Road Battery Replacement. We offer battery replacement in Sydney and surrounding areas through our skilled technicians.

Turkish missile manufacturer Roketsan displayed its newly developed Levent (‘Sea Soldier') close-in air defence system (CIADS) at the Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference (DIMDEX) 2022, held in Doha, Qatar.
The 21-cell missile system is designed to launch the naval version of the Sungur short-range anti-air missile, and is also capable of firing cruise missiles and sea-skimming missiles, a company spokesperson told
Levent has been developed to be fitted as an integrated CIADS on board the Turkish Navy's next-generation fast attack craft (FAC), to be designed by STM under a contract signed with the Turkish Presidency of Defence Industries (SSB) in August 2020. The 24-month FAC design phase (phase I) will be followed by the prototype production phase (phase II), which is expected to last 30 months under a separate contract.
Levent can operate as a standalone missile system or can optionally be integrated with the shipboard combat management system, depending on Turkish Navy requirements.

Irish Naval Service opts to mothball Roisin-class OPVs due to manning issues

The Irish Naval Service has decided to place its two 1,700 tonne Róisín (PV 80)-class OPVs into operational reserve as a result of ongoing staffing shortages. (Irish Navy)
The Irish Naval Service (INS) has been forced to mothball its two Róisín (PV 80)-class offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) as a result of ongoing recruitment and retention issues.
An Irish Defence Forces (IDF) spokesperson confirmed to Janes that LÉ Róisín (P 51) was placed into operational reserve with effect from 31 January and that LÉ Niamh (P 52) would be placed into operational reserve on the completion of its mid-life upgrade (MLU) later this year.
“The decision to place LÉ Róisín and LÉ Niamh into operational reserve is aimed at stabilising operational delivery and assisting in the Naval Service regeneration, which entails the prioritisation of personnel training and development of existing INS personnel,” the spokesperson said. “LÉ Róisín and LÉ Niamh will remain in operational reserve until such time as the Naval Service has sufficiently regenerated suitably qualified and experienced personnel.”
US Navy cannibalises more ships to make up for part shortfalls
03 February 2023
by Michael Fabey
Aircraft carrier combat-system part shortfalls are
forcing the US Navy to cannibalise parts from other Nimitz-class ships
The US Navy (USN) is cannibalising ships more often than in previous years to make up for part shortfalls and meet operational commitments, according to a recent report by the US Government Accountability Office (GAO).
“With the exception of fiscal year (FY) 2017, the average number of cannibalisations per ship increased every year from 2015 to 2021,” the GAO said in its report Weapon System Sustainment: Navy Ship Usage Has Decreased as Challenges and Costs Have Increased, released 31 January.
“We asked navy officials what drove these increases, and they told us ship cannibalisations often occur due to supply chain shortfalls for specific parts,” the GAO reported.

MeKenna Melvin is a genuine rising star who managed to quickly win over the hearts of the passionate fans of Chuck when she joined the cast of the NBC series for season four. Now that Chuck is back with season five (sadly, its’ final season) MeKenna will be gracing the small screen again as Alex Hugh, daughter to John Casey (Adam Baldwin) and girlfriend to Morgan Grimes (Joshua Gomez.)
She has also recently acted in and co-created the independent film “Amber Lake.” It’s a lot for this actress to digest, seeing as it wasn’t all that long ago that she was still waiting tables and dreaming of being able to do what she loved. Given her talent and the encouraging embrace that both fans and higher-up’s have for this skilled actress, you should expect to see plenty more from her in the future.
I was able to talk with Melvin about her present in an interview conducted on Thursday the 28th of October. Chuck spoilers were hard to come by, as she didn’t want to take anything away from the exciting premiere for tonight. However, we talked about the evolution of her character Alex, Alex’s relationship with Morgan, the interesting creative methods behind “Amber Lake”, her Halloween plans, and even her hair (which, if you hadn’t noticed, is fantastically shiny.)
The vibe I picked up from Melvin is that she is incredibly gracious and grateful (especially towards the Chuck fans – she can’t say enough nice things about them), sweet, intelligent (she’s not just a pretty face that shows up to read lines) and a strongly capable, humble actress that’s continuing to grow.
About the Chuck Experience
Jessica Rae (JR): Morgan has changed a lot for this season. Does Alex see the change in him, and what kind of reaction does she have to that?
MeKenna Melvin (MM): Well, I’m not going to give too much away. But I can say that Morgan has a lot of changes. (Laughs.) And there are a lot of Morgan moments in season 5 that are super funny, laugh out loud, amazing. It’s really fun, the journey that they all go on.
Will Alex be involved with Carmichael Industries in any way?
MM: I… have no comment. (Laughs.) I can’t give away too much of the juicy stuff!
Will Alex and Morgan celebrate any major relationship milestones this season?
MM: Their relationship does have a fun little journey that it goes on.
I know you have all of these martial arts skills. Will we see Alex doing any stunts, big or small before season 5 ends?
MM: I would always love that… But I’m not going to tell you. (Laughs)
Let’s move onto less spoilery things. Morgan hasn’t always had luck with ladies, what do you think has made Alex and Morgan so right for each other? What does she see in him that other’s haven’t?
MM: Morgan at the end of the day is a really sweet, wonderful guy who gets himself in a little bit of trouble with the ladies and everyone else in the show. But I think she sees who he really is, deep down. And that’s what she loves about him.
What kinds of other guys do you think Alex probably dated in the past? Bad boys, super smart ones? What do you think her relationships have been like?
I think she has probably dated not necessarily any “type.” I think she’s really down to earth and in-tune to people. So, with every one she dated she probably dated them for specific reasons about them and their character – not necessarily “the bad guy” or “the nerd.”
Can you talk about whether Alex will have scenes with Gertrude (Carrie Ann Moss)? I imagine that’ll affect the father/daughter dynamic.
MM: … Again, I can’t tell you. I will say that this season is so much fun. When I was reading the scripts I would laugh out loud, I was crying during one. I am really excited for this season. I think there are so many unexpected things that will happen. And I, and everyone else, hopes that the fans will love it.
Oh, definitely. I feel like it’s already a slam dunk. Can you talk about any blooper reel moments on set you’ve had recently?
MM: I feel like I’m constantly embarrassing myself, and I don’t know how often the camera is rolling to catch it. I personally have so much fun working. It’s hard to pinpoint one thing. But I’m sure when I see blooper reels at the end of the season I’ll be like, “Oh God, oh God…”
As you know, Chuck fans love to get creative with fan music mixes, videos, artwork, even carving pumpkins – do you have a your favorite type of creative work to see from fans?
MM: Well, they made us, this year, and I just got mine a couple weeks ago, Chuck vs the Scrapbook. And it was…I can’t even express how overwhelming it was for me to read all of these beautiful letters that people have sent to me. My whole life I’ve wanted to be an actress and didn’t know how it was gonna happen.
I was a waitress two years ago trying to make it work…and to get this book of people who have embraced me on this show, doing what I love to do, what I’ve always dreamed of doing…it was really amazing moment that was so special. And I was so incredibly grateful. And I think that was one of the coolest, most beautiful things that they’ve done for me personally.
Were you ever nervous, going into the show, seeing how passionate the fanbase is?
MM: I was very concerned that they like the character. I came in very late into the Chuck game, and my characters kind of evolved I didn’t even know she was gonna have this journey that she had., I thought I was gonna have one episode and be done. And even now I think “I hope they like it.” Because we make the show for you guys. And if you didn’t watch, then we wouldn’t have a show. I feel so lucky to have been embraced in the way that I was. So I want to do justice for your show.
Well, I think that you do. They wanted you back! So, as a final Chuck question, is there anything you can tease? More chocolate?
MM: Ooooooh, the chocolate scene. (Laughs) Ah, I don’t want to give anything away. It’s gonna be awesome. It’s gonna be a really fun season. I think I can say that Alex comes back for the first time in the third episode. But I can’t give you specifics because it’s not going to be fun, then.
About Creating Amber Lake
Let’s talk a little about Amber Lake. I only just saw it, but it was really fantastic. And I’m not just saying that. One of the things I was curious about was how you all picked disorders… what drew you to Borderline Personality Disorder to work with for your character in the movie?
MM: We all decided we were all going to choose a disorder. So we all had our individual homework and did our research and decided which one was gonna be the right one to do. So, I was doing all my research, and I came across all these different disorders, but for whatever reasons… and I don’t want to say that I ‘saw myself’ in that, because by no means am I Borderline, but for whatever reason something about it resonated with me.
And the interesting thing is that we all chose different ones. Since we weren’t talking about it we could have all chosen Histrionic Complex or whatever. But we didn’t. We all three chose such very different ones. And I think for some weird reason there were parts of our own personality that somehow we could find a way in to understand what our characters were going through – maybe.
Do you think that if two of you had picked the same disorder you would have run with that?
MM: You know, we had a long discussion about that. How it worked was that we all picked it, and we went to Joe (Robert Cole), individually. And he said, if I remember correctly, that had any of us both chosen one of the same he kind of would have let us run with it. The movie very much grew organically. What each one of us brought to the table informed one more aspect of the movie. We knew where we wanted to go. But then once we chose our character disorders and created backstories and a life from the day they were born to where they are now we did different exercises. So we met Joe, privately, in character at Coffee Bean. It was very awkward to be Amber Hannold and show up and order coffee. And he was late, so I had to come in character and I was being somebody very different from me, and seeing the way the world responded to me.
And Natalie (Smyka), who plays Amber Allen, had probably one of the most interesting experiences because her character is a little bit attention seeking and sexual, I guess, and Natalie is like baseball cap, Converse and jeans kind of girl. So when she showed up at the Coffee Bean she said ‘I’ve never been looked at like that before.’ But it really helped us in terms of who we were. And then we brought it all together and did all these improvs and taped it all to see how it played out.
It sounds like a lot of improv was done in the creation of Amber Lake, what are your feelings on that activity?
MM: I personally love improv. And maybe not in the sense of a lot of people think like comedy improv, which I think is so much fun but I am terrified of that. But when I’m trying to find a character I like to do that. It’s one of my favorite things to do. I feel like you find the unexpected sometimes. For me it’s something I really enjoy, and it’s kind of rare because you don’t always get as much prep time, or access to your fellow actors who are working. It’s not always possible.
And what was it like to see a therapist, in character? Was it a real therapist, and did she knew you were acting?
MM: She was a real therapist, and she knew we were actors. We had to sign paperwork, obviously, that said she knew we were coming in as characters and she was giving us a real analysis on the character we were coming in as. Everything was covered. So we signed all those waivers.
But on the day we came in, I drove there in character, I showed up at the office in character, I sat in the session as character. The whole thing was videotaped. It was probably one of those most awesome experiences I’ve ever had as an actress. And also one of the most nerve wracking because I spent so much time going, ‘okay this is a trait, how do I bring this in?’ And if anyone can tell me if I’m portraying someone who is seemingly borderline it would be a psychologist. So I felt like if she said, ‘oh that was terrible’ it was gonna be all over. But she was so helpful for each one of us. I think we all (Polly Cole plays the third sister in the movie) had similar experiences. She really supported us in the direction we were going and even helped us further.
About MeKenna in General
You consider yourself first to be a dramatic actress, but you have such a natural comedic charm. Are you hoping for more dramatic or comedic roles in the future? And does your comedic talent surprise you?
MM: I just don’t think of myself as funny. When I go to work very day, I’m working with people like Josh Gomez – who cracks you up every second. I have a hard time keeping a straight face sometimes because I’m laughing so hard at what he’s giving me. And Zac (Levi), and Vik (Sahay.) Everyone on that show is so hilarious. It’s hard for me to think that I make sense in that same kind of world cause I just don’t see myself that way. But I guess maybe I should open myself up… I’m having so much fun and I love it.
It’s really challenging for me. I’m not always super comfortable with my choices. But it’s exciting because I think you can really grow as a person if you put yourself outside of your comfort zone. And everything happens for a reason. I would have never said ‘yes, I’m gonna work on my comedy like that’, but it happened, and it’s been the most amazing experience. And I’ve surprised myself, I guess. Which is wonderful.
I love drama, still. I love everything. I just… Going forward, I just want to do… I wanna work. So somebody hire me! (Laughs) I just wanna do really fun projects, whether they be comedy, drama, whatever. I’m just excited to do projects that are challenging.
(Editor’s note: I love that she was a little bit flustered at being praised for having comedic talent. Of course, I think she does drama very well, too, as shown in Amber Lake. And I also adore that she doesn’t BS and added in, bluntly, that she really just wants to work. I think it’s classy when interview subjects aren’t just placating you and saying what they’re supposed to say.)
You have a puggle named Pennylane. How is she and what’s she up to? Are you going to buy her Christmas presents? (Editor’s note: I couldn’t have timed it any more perfectly that this is the moment my own dog barked a few times. Dogs are smart!)
MM: Pennylane is amazing. She’s a little butterball of joy with her snaggle tooth sticking out. And she will have a lot of presents. Trust me. She’s actually staying with my Mom and Dad right now, but we see each other all the time. She gets spoiled by her Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, me. Everybody loves her. She’s just amazing.
Do you ever dress her up for Halloween?
MM: Oh, yea. You know puggles. They’re like, kinda fat and they have a smushed face and curly tail. They look like pigs, kind of. So I got her this little pig costume with a little nose. Hilarious. She hated it and hated me for putting it on her. I think I had it on her for a second, for a picture.
Your hair is so amazing but you say you’re pretty low maintenance. And I love your hair! What kind of shampoo or products are you using to make it look so healthy and shiny?
MM: Well I have to thank Pamela Melvin, my Mom, for my hair. It’s genetic, as annoying as it sounds. On my Mom’s side of the family I’m Greek. I have really thick Greek hair, and it grows really fast. My nails grow really fast. I guess a lot of people would love it, but I find annoying because I feel like every week I’m having to get it cut so it’s not down to the floor. And I use a million different things, but not one specific product.
And for Halloween, are you going to dress up as anything?
MM: You know I just got back from the Halloween store and it was such an anxiety filled experience because I didn’t know what to get. I still don’t have a costume. But I am going to dress up, because I love it. But I don’t know what to be. And I hate how … why does everything have to be ‘slutty’ this? Slutty clown, I mean, really? Are you kidding me?
Don’t be a slutty clown. That’s too weird!
MM: Right? The weirdest things, they’ll put ‘slutty’ in front of. I saw Slutty Teletubies. I will not be anything like that. We’ll see. I’m probably just going to make something out of my closet, last minute. I’ll tweet it, I’m sure.
So, there you have it. She’s a relatable gal who mocks those ridiculous slutty Halloween costumes, adores both her dog and family, and maintains a level head where others might have let theirs inflate. Look for her tweets (MeKenna Melvin on twitter) and stick around Small Screen Scoop because she expressed an interest in doing another interview with Small Screen Scoop after Chuck season 5 has aired, so the spoilers don’t hinder her from being able to talk more freely about the show.
I know that I won’t be alone in continuing to follow MeKenna Melvin’s future projects. I am so glad that she was brought into Chuck and that it’s given us a chance to be exposed to what she has to offer this industry. I’m a pretty picky person (as loyal readers know), but she gets my full stamp of approval. And wouldn’t you know it, my current stamp of approval is shaped like the Nerd Herd logo.
Don’t forget to tune into Chuck at 9 pm EST on NBC on Fridays, or to watch Amber Lake the movie. You can read my glowing review of the movie here, with details on where and how to watch it for yourself. It’s the perfect kind of thriller you want to watch in this Halloween season!

Full movie description "Without a Trace The Calm Before":The disappearance of a Hurricane Katrina survivor now living in New York City is related to a mysterious gold watch and a tragic incident that took place during the rescues.
Reviews of the Without a Trace The Calm BeforeThis was an amazing episode of Without a Trace. It was cleverly written and had a very strong message. I am from New Orleans, and they not only had a very good missing person case, but they also made a strong statement about the condition down in New Orleans. Also, Roselyn Sanchez (Elena) wasn't in this show that much. I find her rather obnoxious, so I was glad to not see her in this episode.
The show, about an evacuee from New Orleans, Louisiana Post-Katrina, was a political statement. It was partially about a man who went missing in NYC after riding in a boat in the flooded part of New Orleans with his two children, but it was also about the condition of New Orleans. CBS made a statement about New Orleans so the country could know what's happening down here. I thought this was an excellent episode, and I advise you to watch it.

As I figure out the beginning of the story, I'd like to address the audience!
Hi! I'm Aeri! Yes, you may hear that name in the story, I robbed it off one of my characters.
Usually people write these at the end, but I'm impatient to introduce myself!
Um, I kind of wanted this to be a webcomic at some point because I feel I'm not the best writer - but turns out I can't draw people either, and I daresay that's probably important! That's a... Work in progress, anyway.
If you enjoy the story, feel free to support me! Yay! Follow me or subscribe to me or something of the sort, it'll keep me motivated to write!
But I hope you enjoy the story I'm trying so desperately to share! Bear with me!
The eyebags I have in the thumbnail are purely there to represent my sleep deprivation. I'm not that old! Also a pretty good drawing for 1am in the morning using my finger on my phone.
Have you ever wanted to live a simple life, only to have it all snatched away from you in an instant? Well, either answer goes - that's what happened to Salmu. But instead of giving up, she decides to rise to the challenge and control her own life.

This country gets exactly what it deserves, and so does Western North Carolina.
In the last decade, the United States — supposedly the freest country in the world — has made a terrible swing toward a deadly form of far-right-wing politics. Now, I don’t see where it makes too much difference whether someone is uncontrollably far-left-wing or unconscionably far-right-wing. But what makes all the difference is when one class of people (WASP and rich, mostly) is allowed to continually undermine and destroy the relationship/marriage rights of others, the bilingual-education rights of children, and the religious freedom of the non-Christian population.
These privileged people are willing to commit countless other social atrocities as well, in order to keep hold of the religious empire they envision. Christ would be appalled, I think — saddened to the point of tears. And with George W. “winning” the national election, the possibility of complete social and national collapse looms even larger.
Far too many people seem overly willing to support the Second Amendment at the expense of the First (in specific regard to poor whites and minorities, gays and immigrants). Even Western North Carolina doesn’t really stand for freedom and peace for everyone. Outside the Asheville area, WNC is just as quick to persecute gays as blacks and Jews. It has been made clear many times that the ruling religious right (with its inborn repression, fascist attitudes and conditional phony goodness) has every intention of turning this country into some sort of Christian Empire, with a far-right-wing president as its dictator. Only the rich and so-called Christians will have any kind of social position.
This is what I see: the far-right-wing government allowing cities to open up what Star Trek: Deep Space Nine called “Sanctuary Districts” (ST:DS9:”Past Tense, Parts I & II”). Whatever they’re called, such districts will be places where the poor and “undesirable” will be placed (forced) and left to rot, after being told that they’ll be given jobs — jobs that never come.
Unlikely, you say?
All right: I see laws being passed that will allow states to openly discriminate against immigrants, gays and the poor. Lines will be drawn in the sand, and the majority of the oppressed will refuse to pay their taxes and will take to the streets, demanding the respect due to every human being on this divinely given Earth. Violence will be the rule of the day as the disadvantaged rise up, saying they have a right to their beliefs and to have feelings for whomever they wish.
The big, rich churches will be seen for what they are: power-hungry encampments of Nazi-like religious sympathies. This nation is in for a long and terrible haul. The gap between the haves and have-nots will widen enormously, and the Ten Commandments will be used to put the common people to death (be it physically or socially).
One of the reasons I am lashing out like this is because of the lie told to some children I know by staffers at their former private Christian school in Western North Carolina (I won’t name names). These children were terribly harassed — by their teachers — because their parents are Pagans. The kids were told that both they and their parents were going to hell and that they had to pray to the Christian flag for the salvation of their souls. These poor children were scared out of their wits, and the principal of the school was not even made aware of the harassment.
What’s more, these same teachers told the kids that they were in the fifth and sixth grades, respectively. Yet when the parents moved the children to public school to escape the overwhelming harassment they’d been subjected to, their work — or, to be exact, the elementary-school-style religious pamphlets that passed for textbooks — was assessed at the third- and fourth-grade levels in reading, math and social studies! For all intents and purposes, the children were in the third and fourth grades at ages 10 and 11! And staff at their new schools mentioned that such low reassessment is a continuing problem with kids transferring from many private schools.
These kids are being dumbed down. That’s the first step in controlling the masses: You must make them IGNORANT! I am appalled that the public schools have been given a bad rap for countless years, while many private schools have intentionally dumbed down the youth under their care. For all schools, including private schools, we need some sort of state monitoring system, since such schools are putting out youngsters who are meant to contribute to the state and the nation. We need clear guidelines and strict regulations to ensure educational quality in both public and private schools.
But with our new president and the same old Congress, I fear such regulations will be nonexistent. We are headed into an educational dark age — and that, as I’ve said, is the first step toward disintegrating this weak and tired republic of derelict states.
Call this article a paranoid tirade; call it some sort of unfair, fear-based liberal tantrum. Fine. As a double minority, I don’t seem to have much choice. I realize that what we fear the most, we bring upon ourselves. And herein lies my fault. I just hope, now that the elections are over, there will be something that can offer the IGNORANT MASSES some sort of New Hope. Our federalist republic (We are NOT a true democracy) is becoming an imperial dominion, ready to outstretch its serpent arms and strangle all world peoples that oppose it.
As expected, this country has become its own worst enemy, and it doesn’t even know it. I offer a prayer that some New Hope will come, and our Jedi Knights may yet arrive and bring back the goodness, light and peace that we’ve all been robbed of.
Be Well and Go Carefully…

The customers visited our Warrington showroom looking for a modern handleless style kitchen, which would fit in well with their open plan living area, created with an extension a couple of years earlier. They settled on the ‘Remo’ style in ‘Cashmere Gloss’ as they felt the warmer colour of the Cashmere would suit the overall feel of the space.
For the design, they knew they wanted a tall bank of units along one wall, to house mainly appliances, and a peninsular area to separate the kitchen from the dining space. We decided that the peninsular would be a good place for the hob as it keeps that area social rather than being tucked away at the other end of the room.
The rest of the design was concentrated on making storage practical- we installed two Kesseboehmer LeMans corner solutions, deep pan drawers and bi-fold doors on the wall units. for ease of access over the peninsular.
The result is a kitchen that blends perfectly with the rest of the living space, with the wooden floor linking each space together and the ‘Hail Storm’ quartz complementing the cabinets beautifully.
Instead of thinking an American style fridge/freezer will offer maximum capacity, consider a tall integrated fridge and a tall integrated freezer. The capacity and practicality is off the scale.

Garcinia Cambogia’s reviews are filled with praises and admiration for those who have not yet tried the product. It’s the weight-loss treatment of choice among millions of users in over 90 countries who have discovered its effectiveness in helping them lose weight. But does it work? And is it all-natural, as people claim it to be?
Garcinia Cambogia is a natural, cholesterol-lowering, weight-loss supplement derived from Garcinia Cambogia’s young green fruit. It can reduce cholesterol levels and is considered to be beneficial for heart health. However, many users also report higher energy levels, clearer skin, and improved sleep. Some say it’s helped their love life, as well. It has been promoted as a wonder cure for impotence and sexual dysfunctions.
But why is it so popular? What’s it all about? Why have people been lining up for the potent Garcinia Cambogia extract? Here we take a quick look at Garcinia Cambogia extract, how it works, and the possible side effects of taking it.
As part of the research performed to evaluate Garcinia Cambogia, scientists performed controlled tests to see if the herb had any side effects. These included tests with lab animals and humans, both of whom were given different doses of the supplement. All were healthy, so it was concluded that there were no dangerous side effects. The only side effect they noticed was slightly higher blood sugar levels, which meant that people with diabetes shouldn’t take them.
This is one of the few products on the market that contains the natural ingredient HCA, which means it is strictly vegetarian. So, while it helps lower harmful cholesterol levels and increases good cholesterol levels, it doesn’t give your body fat to burn. Because of this, many people claim that Garcinia Cambogia does not affect weight loss. However, it may have a slight appetite-suppressing effect on people who are trying to lose weight, as well.
Many people take it as a daily supplement because it is so effective in helping their bodies convert stored fat into energy. It has also been found to boost the immune system and boost the body’s metabolism. However, this type of supplement should not be relied upon to control blood sugar levels because it can cause hypoglycemia if taken at the wrong times. It can also cause a rebound effect by causing blood sugar to drop after you stop taking it. Therefore, diabetics shouldn’t take it if they are hypoglycemic or need to monitor their blood sugar. This supplement may help shed a few pounds for people who exercise, but it isn’t recommended for long-term weight loss.
One of the significant side effects of Garcinia Cambogia is that it causes an increase in blood sugar. If you have diabetes, it can raise your blood sugar too much, causing dangerous fluctuations in your condition. People with hypoglycemia should also avoid taking this supplement because it can cause a severe drop in their blood sugar levels. In some cases, people with hypoglycemia have had problems sleeping at night and may feel exhausted because of it.
A few other conditions may be helped by Garcinia Cambogia, including liver diseases, pancreatitis, liver enlargement, oral cancers, and oral thrush. These benefits can generally be considered minor, as these side effects only occur in minimal amounts. But these aren’t the only conditions where supplementation of Garcinia Cambogia might be helpful. People suffering from depression, cancer, and diarrhea have all reported success with this supplement. If you suffer from any of these conditions, consult your doctor before taking this supplement.

Grey matter abnormalities within cortico-limbic-striatal circuits in acute and weight-restored anorexia nervosa patients
Department of General Internal Medicine and Psychosomatics, Centre for Psychosocial Medicine, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany. NeuroImage
(Impact Factor: 6.36).
09/2011; 59(2):1106-13. DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2011.09.042
Functional disturbances within cortico-striatal control systems have been implicated in the psychobiology (i.e. impaired cognitive-behavioral flexibility, perfectionist personality) of anorexia nervosa. The aim of the present study was to investigate the morphometry of brain regions within cortico-striatal networks in acute anorexia nervosa (AN) as well as long-term weight-restored anorexia nervosa (AN-WR) patients. A total of 39 participants: 12 AN, 13 AN-WR patients, and 14 healthy controls (HC) underwent high-resolution, T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a cognitive-behavioral flexibility task, and a psychometric assessment. Group differences in local grey matter volume (GMV) were analyzed using whole brain voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and brain-atlas based automatic volumetry computation (IBASPM). Individual differences in total GMV were considered as a covariate in all analyses. In the regional brain morphometry, AN patients, as compared to HC, showed decreased GMVs (VBM and volumetry) in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), the supplementary motor area (SMA), and in subcortical regions (amygdala, putamen: VBM only). AN-WR compared to HC showed decreased GMV (VBM and volumetry) in the ACC and SMA, whereas GMV of the subcortical region showed no differences. The findings of the study suggest that structural abnormalities of the ACC and SMA were independent of the disease stage, whereas subcortical limbic-striatal changes were state dependent.

- "Neuroimaging research has identified a variety of neuroanatomical substrates of ED pathophysiology. For example, on structural imaging, ED patients show reductions in gray matter volume in regions involved in reward, impulse control, and emotion regulation: the caudate nucleus, ventral striatum (VS), anterior cingulate (ACC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) (Friederich et al., 2012; Schäfer et al., 2010; Titova et al., 2013; Van den Eynde et al., 2012). Likewise, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies in ED reveal abnormal patterns of resting-state connectivity in the default-mode network (Cowdrey et al., 2014) and other intrinsic brain networks incorporating the ACC and insula (Amianto et al., 2013). "

Conventional treatments for eating disorders are associated with poor response rates and frequent relapse. Novel treatments are needed, in combination with markers to characterize and predict treatment response. Here, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) was used to identify predictors and correlates of response to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) at 10 Hz for eating disorders with refractory binge/purge symptomatology.
28 subjects with anorexia nervosa, binge-purge subtype or bulimia nervosa underwent 20-30 sessions of 10 Hz dmPFC rTMS. rs-fMRI data were collected before and after rTMS. Subjects were stratified into responder and nonresponder groups using a criterion of ≥50% reduction in weekly binge/purge frequency. Neural predictors and correlates of response were identified using seed-based functional connectivity (FC), using the dmPFC and adjacent dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) as regions of interest.
16 of 28 subjects met response criteria. Treatment responders had lower baseline FC from dmPFC to lateral orbitofrontal cortex and right posterior insula, and from dACC to right posterior insula and hippocampus. Responders had low baseline FC from the dACC to the ventral striatum and anterior insula; this connectivity increased over treatment. However, in nonresponders, frontostriatal FC was high at baseline, and dmPFC-rTMS suppressed FC in association with symptomatic worsening.
Enhanced frontostriatal connectivity was associated with responders to dmPFC-rTMS for binge/purge behavior. rTMS caused paradoxical suppression of frontostriatal connectivity in nonresponders. rs-fMRI could prove critical for optimizing stimulation parameters in a future sham-controlled trial of rTMS in disordered eating.
- "However, both differences were not statistically significant (Friederich et al., 2012; Nakazato et al., 2009; Roberts et al., 2010; Tchanturia et al., 2004; Tchanturia et al., 2011). In most of these studies, the sample size was rather small (13-30 recAN participants; Danner et al., 2012; Friederich et al., 2012; Holliday et al., 2005; Nakazato et al., 2009; Roberts et al., 2010; Tchanturia et al., 2004; Tchanturia et al., 2002). Tenconi et al. (2010) studied 63 weight recovered and 29 fully recovered AN patients and found no difference from the acutely ill AN patients, that is, the recAN patients showed inefficiencies in set-shifting compared with the healthy control group. "

First, this study aimed to explore whether set-shifting is inefficient after full recovery of anorexia nervosa (recAN). Second, this study wanted to explore the relation of set-shifting to clinical and personality variables.MethodA total of 100 recAN women were compared with 100 healthy women. Set-shifting was assessed with Berg's Card Sorting Test. Expert interviews yielded assessments for the inclusion/exclusion criteria, self-ratings for clinical and personality variables.ResultsCompared with the healthy control group, the recAN participants achieved fewer categories, showed more perseverations and spent less time for shifting set. Perfectionism is correlated with set-shifting but in converse directions in the two groups.DiscussionOur study supports the findings of inefficiencies in set-shifting after full recovery from AN. Higher perfectionism in the recAN group is associated with better set-shifting ability, whereas higher perfectionism in the healthy control group is related to worse set-shifting ability.

- "However, only a few studies have investigated brain structure in patients before and after weight restoration. Some studies report that the brain normalizes completely at both a global and regional level after weight restoration (Wagner et al., 2006) while other studies have reported nonreversible regional changes in gray matter in the anterior cingulate cortex (Friederich et al., 2012; Muhlau et al., 2007), supplementary motor area (Friederich et al., 2012), and precuneus (Joos et al., 2011). Collectively, these latter studies suggest that gray matter is more affected than white matter in patients with AN, and gray matter reductions may be only partially reversible. "

ABSTRACT: Structural brain changes associated with starvation and clinical measurements were explored in four females with anorexia nervosa with different clinical course, at baseline and 1-year follow-up, after receiving intensive inpatient treatment at a specialized eating disorder unit. Global volume alterations were associated with weight changes. Regional volume alterations were also associated with weight changes, with the largest changes occurring in the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, pallidum, and putamen. Largest changes in cortical thickness occurred in the frontal and temporal lobes. The results are preliminary; however, they show that fluctuations in weight are associated with brain volume alterations, especially gray matter. We suggest that these parts of the brain are vulnerable to starvation and malnutrition, and could be a part of the pathophysiology of AN.

Wet February Brings Montana Snowpack Up To Normal And Above
BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Mountain snow moisture is near to above normal in Montana.
Record-setting snow in February made up for dry weather in November and December, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reports.
Statewide, snow moisture was 137% of normal compared to just 93% of normal around this time last year, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Water Supply Outlook Report for March 1.
Precipitation and temperatures over the remainder of winter and into spring will be critical for determining how much water will be available for irrigation and other uses this year, NRCS water supply scientist Lucas Zukiewicz said.
“Streamflow prospects for spring and summer look to be near or slightly above average at this time due to the healthy snowpack totals we have in the mountains,” Zukiewicz said in a release.
Snowpack in the Gallatin River headwaters was 120% of normal, while snow feeding the Madison River was 99% of normal.
Snowpack for the Upper Yellowstone drainage was 115% of normal. Jefferson River basin snowpack was at 113%.

Marvin Rosen, the man behind Classical Discoveries, is a master at bringing to the public the music which best evidences its origins. So, what for this anniversary of 9/11?
The marathon starts: SATURDAY, September 10, 2011 – 7:00 PM and ends: SUNDAY, September 11, 2011 – 7:00 PM
on WPRB 103.3FM Princeton and on Internet at:
“For the 10th anniversary of September 11, Classical Discoveries with Marvin Rosen will present a 24 hour live radio marathon, totally devoted to music written by composers from many countries as a reaction to the unforgettable events of that day.”
“Marvin has a very special story regarding 9/11.
He was actually on the air with a special program titled EAST MEETS WEST promoting a mutual understanding of music by different cultures. What a weird coincidence this was.
Since no phone lines were working he did not know about the events until 10:00am. 10:00 to 11:00am was mentally the most difficult 1 hour on the air in his broadcasting years.
Two days later he presented his own memorial tribute and later at different anniversaries a few more. As time progresed more and more composers wrote music inspired by the tragedy.The 5th anniversary program was totaly compiled by works written in the 21st Century.”
Recently, Marvin wrote at his blog,
“During the 24 hours of the Marathon you will hear many works submitted by composers specifically for this event. I want to thank Sequenza 21 and International Alliance for Women Composers as well as other websites who supported this call for recordings.
During the marathon there will be some works being broadcast for the first time as well many works presented on my program before such as the September Symphony by Wojciech Kilar that I presented for the first time in June, 2004, Elodie Lauten’s complete electronic work S.O.S.W.T.C., and Stephen Hartke’s Symphony No. 3 just to mention a few as well as an encore presentation of Robert Moran’s Trinity Requiem.
I know that this event will be a very difficult for me and every one else, but I do not know any other way I could commemorate this tragic happening, but with music.”
These are my sources for music and information. If you have any suggestions for me, I would appreciate seeing them in Comments.

Latest JNLR listenership confirms huge audience numbers for radio with over 91% of adults listening to radio every week.
The JNLR report, covering the period July 2021 to June 2022 released today shows radio enjoys huge audience numbers with 91.2% of Irish adults and 87.1% of 15-34 year olds listening to radio every week. The report, released on 28th July 2022, also shows that Irish radio enjoys far higher daily audience levels compared to global social platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. Listeners tune in for on average 4 hours per day to radio across Ireland.
The daily listenership levels are also hugely impressive with 79% of adults and 69% of 15-34 year olds listening to radio each weekday. These listenership levels are all the more impressive when compared to daily user levels for the main tech platforms as reported by the Ipsos Social Media Tracker. It shows that Facebook only has 34% of adults using its platform daily, Instagram, 30% of adult users daily and Tik Tok with 12% using the platform each day.
Listening to live radio via FM/AM is still by far, the most popular form of listening accounting for 90% of all adult listening, 4% of listening is through a smart speaker and 3% through a mobile device. For younger cohorts, the pattern is a little different with 81% of 15-34 year olds listenership via FM/AM while a mobile device and a smart speaker account for 9% and 5% of their listening.
Ciaran Cunningham CEO Radiocentre Ireland said:
“I am delighted that the JNLR listenership data released today shows clearly the huge power and popularity of radio among the Irish population. Radio delivers unrivalled audience numbers on a daily and weekly basis. Radio listening is booming and today’s figures are a great reminder that Irish radio is a central part of people’s lives. As a commercial medium, radio gives brands a way to speak to millions of people every day”.


My aim of writing this article is to provide as much as information as I can related to engineering field. The field of mechanical engineering is one of the key departments in the engineering sector. There are several individuals who are hired by various companies dealing in mechanics and electronics as a profession. The hiring is done on the basis of pure merit and includes both indoor and out door activities for all the professionals. Even an entry level employment requires a very strong background in the subjects like mathematics and physics. This is because these subjects make the basics of the field of mechanical engineering.
This term paper is the all about engineering field and the most popular career of Mechanical Engineer. Today I will share some thoughts and ideas to write any sort of or research on this topic. I am sure each and every student at graduation level or master’s level is required to make a paper or dissertation. So those who opt for this topic or planning to make they can take help from this.
The cleverly tip here is to pick up any sub division of this filed and make main focus of your paper. Even for an entry level position as graduate degree is required. The most prolific degree in this connection is BE (Bachelors of engineering). The majors of this degree should be mechanics or physics. There is a predefined curriculum which is followed. The courses include mathematics, kinematics and principles of physics as the main constituents. Students after acquiring the relative education apply for a job which is small scaled and does not have too much employment pressure. It is a feasible option because this way they get a good market exposure and are able to concentrate on certain concrete tasks. Apart from this students can put some light on career importance of this field. As the world is getting change day by day and new fields are emerging so under this circumstances it is really difficult to keep students attractive on one career. It requires great amount of hard work by teachers at high school level and they can do the brain storming of the students to make them sure about the importance of engineering. All such kind of information can be collected practically and you need to do some survey or conduct any interview session to make your findings true.
52. I am an engineering student in Savannah, GA on track for a BS in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech. I have a question that you might be able to answer. I'm interested to know whether it would be beneficial for me to switch over to mechanical engineering. I am very interested in robotics engineering and human-machine interaction, specifically human exoskeletal research. It seems to me that these topics in engineering are more focused in the area of mechanical engineering. Although, I'm sure that many different types of engineers are involved in such research, my question is whether mechanical engineering is a better choice for me in terms of the area of study that I am interested in. Thank you for any input that you can offer me.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Whenever our elderly population experiences social anxiety, it increases the risk for them to develop mental health disorders like depression and anxiety. Covid-19 has also exacerbated this, posing several risks for our homebound friends.
“Their mental health often suffers,” said local Lubbock psychologist, Dr. Cheryl Hall.
Working throughout the pandemic with numerous homebound people, Dr. Hall explained how she has seen social isolation impact her patients.
“Some of my patients have clearly become more depressed, more anxious, some have had suicidal thinking,” said Dr. Hall. “And generally, they feel incredibly lonely–maybe they don’t eat well like they should, they don’t stay on the same healthy sleep schedule.”
As their mental health deteriorates, it can also take a toll on their physical well-being. Dr. Hall mentioned that patients could sometimes neglect to take necessary medications or schedule doctor’s appointments for fear of the coronavirus.
Adult Protective Services said this could also create a breeding ground for abuse and neglect.
“Once someone becomes isolated, it’s easier, because they’re not having contact with people on the outside, for people to take advantage of somebody,” said Lubbock APS supervisor, Danee Rino.
Rino said that if you notice something out of the norm with an elderly neighbor or friend, it may be a sign to call APS so they can do a welfare check.
“Maybe you’re used to seeing them go out and get their mail, and all a sudden, they’re not doing that anymore,” said Rino. “Or if they’ve lived alone, for the whole time you’ve known them, then all of a sudden, a family member shows up, and then that’s when you stop seeing them.”
To help our homebound neighbors feel less alone, it’s important to check in every so often so that they feel recognized and cared about.
“I think when you know that you have a neighbor that lives alone, I think it’s really going to be helpful to leave little notes on their doorstep,” said Dr. Hall. “Maybe bring them a treat, something to eat every now and then. It just lets them know that you’re thinking about them.”
If you’re concerned at all about the well-being of a neighbor, it’s never a bad idea to call APS so they can check in. You can call 1-800-252-5400 or online at TxAbuseHotline.org.

THE BISHOP of Reading has added her voice to those expressing concerns over Boris Johnson’s decision to defend Dominic Cummings’ decision to break lockdown rules.
At yesterday’s news conference, Boris Johnson said that his special adviser’s decision to drive to Durham while his wife had coronavirus was because he had been following “the instincts of every father and every parent – and I do not mark him down for that”.
The Government guidelines that Mr Cummings had had a hand in devising and that Mr Johnson had delivered to the nation on March 23, stated that families affected by the coronavirus should stay at home and self-isolate to avoid spreading the virus. The advice also said that households should not mix with other households and only essential journeys should be taken.
Despite this, Mr Cummings drove his family from London to Durham so they could be closer to his parents, who are both over 70 and in the government’s at-risk category due to age.
At yesterday’s press conference, Mr Johnson said that he had had extensive discussions with Mr Cummings and felt that the “severe childcare difficulties” was “totally understandable” and that he did the right thing by travelling to Durham.
“In every respect, he has acted responsibly, legally and with integrity,” Mr Johnson added.
The prime minister did not answer allegations that Mr Cummings had been seen in Barnard Castle after he had been in London.
The comments have gone down badly on social media, with many people angry at the decision not to dismiss Mr Cummings from his role.
The majority of people commenting on Wokingham.Today’s story on Saturday disagreed with Sir John Redwood’s stance.
The Wokingham MP had said that opposition politicians should “stop hounding Dominic Cummings”, saying that his children needed care.
And the Bishop of Reading, the Rt Revd Olivia Graham, has joined other senior clergy in expressing her concerns at the prime minister’s decisions. Her see includes Wokingham borough.
In a tweet, she said: “I find myself deeply worried by the PM’s judgement call on this one. Not from a political perspective but a moral one. His response lacks both integrity and respect and he has just made his task of leading us through this crisis much, much harder.”
Bracknell MP James Sunderland and Maidenhead MP Theresa May, both Conservatives, and Reading East MP Matt Rodda (Labour) have made no public comment.
