“Survivorship is part of the continuum of care that we are committed to providing to all patients here at Summit Medical Group,” says Jeffrey Le Benger, MD, Chairman and CEO, Summit Medical Group.
Berkeley Heights, NJ (PRWEB) June 02, 2017
In support of National Cancer Survivors Day®, Summit Medical Group MD Anderson Cancer Center will host “The Art of Healing,” a special event honoring cancer survivors on Thursday, June 8, 5:30 – 8:00 PM at its 1 Diamond Hill Road campus in Berkeley Heights. The free event will feature inspiring stories of cancer survivorship, an uplifting concert by a chamber ensemble of the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, and an intimate meet and greet with artists of the “Visions of Hope” and “Voices of the Journey” art exhibits. Individual registration is required at http://www.survivors-thrive.com.
Anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life – is a cancer survivor, according to the National Cancer Survivors Day® Foundation. In the United States alone, there are more than 15.5 million people living with a history of cancer. This represents 4.8 percent of the population, as cited by the National Cancer Institute.
Community events across the globe during the first week of June will honor cancer survivors and show the world that life after a cancer diagnosis can be fruitful, rewarding, and inspiring.
“Survivorship is part of the continuum of care that we are committed to providing to all patients here at Summit Medical Group,” says Jeffrey Le Benger, MD, Chairman and CEO, Summit Medical Group. “Within our multidisciplinary patient-centered healthcare model, Summit Medical Group patients have access to enhanced cancer treatment, including MD Anderson’s world-renowned treatment protocols, extensive clinical trials and cutting edge research.”
“Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment have resulted in longer survival, and therefore, a growing number of cancer survivors,” says William T. DeRosa, DO, FACP, Chief of Oncology, Summit Medical Group MD Anderson Cancer Center. “As we carry out the mission to advance and integrate quality cancer care, we strive every day to transform how healthcare and cancer treatment is delivered to our patients and to increase the number of cancer survivors.”
“National Cancer Survivors Day reminds all of us at Summit Medical Group MD Anderson Cancer Center of our patient-centered mission,” adds Carol Boyer, RN, MSN, APN, CN-BP, AOCNS, Clinical Program Manager and a certified breast nurse patient navigator for Summit Medical Group MD Anderson Cancer Center. “Our event will be filled with joy, hope, camaraderie, and compassion as we acknowledge our community’s cancer survivors. We also will recognize the contributions of their families, friends, and healthcare providers and raise awareness of the ongoing challenges faced by many cancer survivors today.”
Cancer survivors will share their personal stories of how life after a cancer diagnosis can be beautiful, abundant and fulfilling. Shannon Vick, a young mom who was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 33-years-old and 27 weeks pregnant with her fourth child, will be among the survivors who will share their inspiring stories. “The integrated care and collaboration, as well as the seamless communication between my obstetrician and oncologist and the teams at Summit Medical Group was vital in getting me through my cancer journey,” shares Mrs. Vick.
The “Art of Healing” event will feature a special performance by a string quartet from the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra (NJSO), which is presented through the NJSO’s Music and Wellness Program and made possible by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey. The event will also present the acrylic paintings, photographs and sculptures by and for cancer survivors in “Visions of Hope” and “Voices of the Journey,” with several artists in attendance.
For a curated display to appear in the new Summit Medical Group MD Anderson Cancer Center in Florham Park, cancer survivors are invited to bring a keepsake from their journey – a note of encouragement, a photo, a favorite coffee/tea mug – to inspire others on their journey to healing.
Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served. The event is free and open to all cancer survivors, friends and family. To register, visit http://www.survivors-thrive.com or call the Summit Medical Group events hotline at 908-277-8889.
Visit NCSD.org for more information about National Cancer Survivors Day, and The National Cancer Institute for resources and information on survivorship.

FCC Chief Kevin Martin has announced
that the FCCs May agenda includes discussion of what to do with the D-Block spectrum which failed to sell at the 700 MHz auction earlier this year. The discussion will review all of the rules associated with auctioning the public safety spectrum including whether it is necessary to lower the reserve price in order for a sale to take place. It will also take a close look at allegations regarding pre-auction meetings that Cyren Call
(which is the Public Safety Spectrum Trusts advisor) reportedly engaged in, a matter that is also being reviewed by Congress. This discussion is the first step towards re-auctioning the D-block spectrum, a move which may happen later this year.

Tomorrow night’s Shamrock FC 276 card in Kansas City will feature a welterweight bout as Marques Jackson will look for his second career victory as he will meet Scott Heston on the fight card coming from the Ameristar Casino.
Jackson (1-5) enters this fight following a stoppage defeat in March against Gary Westphal and since that fight, he has been cross training at several places including Glory Fitness and American Top Team.
During Wednesday’s episode of “The MMA Report Podcast,” Jackson was a guest on the show to preview his fight tomorrow night against Heston. When he talked about his opponent, he proclaimed that “he has fought so many tomato cans, he can work for Campbell Soup.”
Take a listen to Jackson’s complete interview from “The MMA Report Podcast” below.


Created two years ago, District Heat has the streets talking, while growing viewers online. The series joins the list of several lesbian web series taking over the Internet. Shanovia McKenzie who has always had a passion for creative writing is the producer behind the new D.C. based web series.
“Since I was a child, writing has always been a passion of mine,” says McKenzie. So my creativity stemmed from my soul, not from school.”
As season one comes to an end, Tagg took the time to speak with McKenzie about creating a black lesbian web series and District Heat Productions future direction.
Besides yourself, are there other people that have played an important role in making District Heat come to fruition?
Definitely. When I first received this vision, I called one of my best friends. Chantise Martin who is the Director of Photography and Editor of District Heat. At the time, she had just graduated from the Art Institute of Washington. I asked her if I wrote a story, would she be able to film it for me. As you can see, she said “yes”. With no resources or connections, I had an audition call with hopes that I would find diligent people who believed in my dream.
I had absolutely no idea of what to expect. I felt like a blind man walking. I had absolutely no idea of how other web series operated. During the audition calls, my now Director of Marketing Deezal, came out to become a part of the production team as a second camerawoman. Deezal also became my biggest consultant. That was my crew. With this small team, and no make-up artist, stylist, wardrobe stylist, and money, we brought my story to life. Actually, let me take that back. I have a four-man team. God. He is the reason behind everything I do. Without him there is no me, and without me, there is no District Heat. I must give him all praises.
Why a web series? And why a black lesbian series based in Washington, D.C.?
I’m a storyteller, a dreamer, and a writer. But, to be able to display my stories, and my thoughts for the world to see were the best gift I could ever have. I’ve always been very private about my writings, and I finally reached a point in my life where I wanted to share them. I wanted to know if others experienced my pain, my struggles, my perceptions of things and my concerns in the black community. There are a few black lesbian web series, but not enough. Some people say lesbian web series are cliché. That comment always puzzles me. There are millions of heterosexual shows, movies, etc. Yet, that is not cliché. I want to be able to give my community a show that they can relate to or at least appreciate. We need options, and that is what District Heat is about. D.C is surrounded by so many artistic individuals. It saddens me when so many of these artists are not given the opportunity to showcase their talent. Now with District Heat, we give only LGBT independent artist air time on our show. I think it’s important to extend the hand to individuals who strive for a higher purpose. I’m a big supporter of my family.
What is the feedback you have received so far from viewers about the web series?
For the most part, all has been positive. The biggest issue I think for our fans is the length of time. Our audience wants more and they will receive that in season two. I check our YouTube comments on a daily basis to learn my audience, their opinions, and just to receive insight on the overall production of the show. It’s very informative and the feedback is always helpful in so many ways.
We noticed that there is a gritty street feel to the web series. The main characters are drug dealers. Why did you choose to go in this direction?
Actually, only one of the main characters is a drug dealer, which is Ali. The reason I chose the street aspect was because that’s the life I saw growing up as a kid. I grew up in Northeast D.C. and they were a part of my external environment. Choosing the street aspect was not me condoning that life, but to show people the other side to these characters who are people we actually know in the real world. Whether it’s a partner, friend, or family member. To understand why some choose this path and possibly grow from this life as they continue to experience the consequences behind the streets. It will either make you or break you.
Why did you decide for your characters to use the “N-word” in your episodes? Have you received any backlash over this decision?
I’ve actually received no backlash over the word “nigga.” Not, just yet. The reason I chose that word is because that is a part of the language for many drug dealers in the black community.
What’s in store for District Heat in the future?
Viewers should look out for season two. In between the conclusion of season two, we will give the viewers some extra content. Not a show, but some things to let people know we are more than just a show. District Heat is an umbrella for many future things to come.
What do you hope viewers will take away from the web series?
I hope the viewers understand my vision and can continue to be supportive. My biggest thing is for people to understand that I am in no way stereotyping all lesbians of color to be a certain way. Unfortunately, I couldn’t touch on other aspects, issues, or other scenarios or characters that others might relate to. With that being said, District Heat Productions has many future projects to come.
The cast will be making an appearance Sunday, July 27 for the White Magic Day Party at Stonefish Lounge located at 1708 L St NW, Washington, D.C. from 5 to 11 p.m. For more information on District Heat and their season finale party, visit the official District Heat Facebook page.

Nickelodeon Yanks Legend Of Korra Off TV, Shoves It Online
Y'know just today my whole family sat back to enjoy the last few episodes of Legend of Korra on our Tivo and EVERY time commercials showed up I repeated out-loud 'thank god my kids don't watch the other Nickelodeon shows' because everything looked like such ridiculous devoid-of-quality crap. Hearing Disney Channel blaring on the tvs in my house bugs me a lot, but compared to most Nickelodeon shows, they are AMC (wait, does Disney own AMC yet? I need to do some Walking Dead pin swapping!). I digress.
Legend of Korra, Nickelodeon was beneath you anyway.

The Kevlar/Dyneema Controversy: As some of you may have remembered, I did some real quick legwork and found “knife resistant” vests for sale made of Kevlar. I mentioned the Kevlar choice in the comic for the 27th and got a lot of email saying Kevlar wouldn’t work but some thoughts on Dyneema. So I “corrected it, only to get more email saying “no certain Kevlar vests ARE knife resistant”, “No, you need ceramic plating” , “Check out Turtle-wear” etc. etc.
So, to make things simple I’ve changed Nash’s dialogue to “Hence my choice for a Knife-Proof vest!” There! Whew!

A little song that I wrote about Pepper Clark. After a few lacklustre recordings where I was trying to find inspiration for new music (i'm sorry for the lousy Pinky's Wedding, I was trying to find myself musically) I decided to write/record this song and it turned out beautifully. My favourite song that i've recorded while at the Institute is 'A Picture Of Devin', as well as a few school projects that i'm tempted to post. This is probably a close second, for now at least.
Why does my voice sound different you might ask? Well, that's because I used my old built-in mic and built-in pre-amp instead of fooling around with the schools equipment. Maybe it's better for live recordings and certain artists, but not for me.

Tiny home options continue to grow in popularity thanks to high housing costs and lack of space for new ones to be built. California especially falls into this category causing great interest in building Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to rent out for extra income or for aging parents, adult children, students, or someone just starting out. Thanks to updates to California’s housing laws, new design ideas are popping up, including a collaboration between Swiss designer Yves Béhar and Plant Prefab that’s bringing LivingHomes YB1 to life. LivingHomes YB1 was recently unveiled at the Summit festival in Los Angeles displaying an example of high-quality, design-focused prefab and what’s possible for the future.
We are incredibly excited to partner with Yves Béhar on his first home product for a really critical, fast growing segment in housing: ADUs/Tiny Homes. Yves is one of the top designers in the world and the YB1, the

Grimshaw recently went small for a very good cause – preventing youth homelessness. The architecture practice designed its first tiny home for Nestd, a charitable organization of Kids Under Cover that supports homeless youth in Australia. The Peak, which spans 32.5-square-meters, is one of three tiny homes available and the prefab unit was designed to be affordable, sustainable, and able to move to a new location, all while containing everything one would need in a modern home.
The single-story house feels much larger thanks to a double-height corner entrance that’s outfitted with large windows that let in lots of natural light.
The exterior is clad in dark metal wall cladding and sustainably sourced timber LVL which offers a classic modern contrast.
Inside, the surfaces are clad in a natural finished wood for a warm, timeless finish. A cube-like structure houses a kitchen, bathroom, laundry, bedroom, and seating

Minarc has thrown their hat into the ring with their answer to California’s housing crisis – the Plús Hús, which is Icelandic for “plus house”. State regulations on ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units), or “Granny flats”, have been loosened, meaning tiny houses can exist, which sent LA architectural firm Minarc to the drawing board. Their 16′ x 20′ structures are detached private units that are completely customizable allowing the buyer to use them for personal use or to turn into a rental. The Icelandic-inspired homes come flat-packed helping to reduce the cost of your future home office, guest house, rental apartment, yoga studio, or artist space.

Local design studio Anne Rolland Architecte took on the ambitious task of converting a 17th-century horse stable into a small studio apartment in Paris, France.
The former stables were associated with a townhouse in Paris dating back to the 1600s, and had been left vacant and abandoned for more than 70 years. For this cozy 254-square-foot studio apartment, the task of making the tight space livable required the architect to think creatively to accommodate all of the necessities for apartment living.
Even though the space is tiny, all the essentials including a kitchen, full bathroom, lofted sleeping space and workspace are built into the design through the use of a partition. There are also custom-designed features for optimal organization and storage including shelves, drawers and cabinetry. The exposed stone walls covering the interior and colorful tiles in the bathroom are a nod to this studio’s rustic roots.

This tiny modern cabin by Lund Hagem Architects
was built among large rocks and dense vegetation in Sandefjord, Norway. The 322-square-foot retreat, an extension of an existing home on the site, replaces two old sheds.
The stepped, ramped roof allows the owners to climb atop the dwelling to contemplate distant sea views. Leading to the white concrete roof is a footpath that runs along the meandering wooded area on the site.
“The building occupies a small footprint, but the space expands vertically into three levels: the basement, the ground floor and the roof,” the architects said. “The annex contains a suspended bed, a small living space and a bathroom.”
A cozy atrium, the social core of the project, features a fireplace and walls of glass. The inclined ceiling, covered with woven oak strips, masks joints and adds a rustic touch. Out back is a small terrace with an outdoor fireplace.
A design highlight is the custom-built concrete bench/table, which

Architecture Open Form
recently completed the redesign of LeJeune Residence
, a circa-1890s home in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough of Montreal, Quebec.
Optimizing the 835-square-foot interior was a crucial part of the design process. In addition, the owners’ vision and lifestyle called for open living spaces on the ground floor and the interaction of the interior with the backyard.
“The owners’ desire to ‘live outside’ during the warmer seasons led to the extension of the interior living spaces onto a terrace that was designed with the same attention to comfort and quality as the home’s interior,” the architects said.
Instead of a typical dining room, there is an open area between the kitchen, living room and terrace. The furniture is tailored to the occupants’ needs.

Like many rapidly gentrifying urban areas, New Orleans is facing a crisis: In a city where lots of people want to live, where do you find space for single-family starter homes?
Fortunately, with crisis comes opportunity. Hundreds of unclaimed and unwanted odd lots end up between, behind and adjacent to existing and new construction. These lots, previously deemed too awkwardly shaped for anything but weeds, are being put to use in an innovative way by narrow, tall and surprisingly beautiful Starter Home*
concept houses, developed by architecture firm OJT
While only 10 feet wide, this Starter Home* makes good use of the neighborhood’s zoning laws with a sweeping 40-foot-high roofline tall enough to accommodate two bedrooms and three floors. Clean interior finishes such as hardwood and polished concrete work with floor-to-ceiling windows to invite light into the home, giving the space an expansive feel despite its narrow footprint.
French doors open onto

I just smoked a 13.5 pound brisket overnight. This has been the fastest brisket in history for me. I am already at 185 internal temp and about to check to see how tender it is so I can pull it from the smoker. Thing is, it has been just under 12 hours for the smoke time so you can imagine I was not planning on the brisket finishing this soon. I kept my temps at 235 or less the entire time and it is only 815 in the monring. Now I don't mind eating brisket this early but I don't think the family is that thrilled with the idea so I plan on keeping it in the cooler for a while. I usually do that anyway but I usually only let it sit in there for one or two hours before pulling it out and carving it up. Since we will now be eating a big lunch vs dinner would it hurt anything to let it sit in the cooler for four or five hours? If not should I take it out of the cooler and reheat it another way and if so what is the best way to reheat it. Thank you for the help and I apologize for the grammar, I have not had my coffee yet.

5. Psychological state out of Armenian Us americans
Although there be a little more than simply one million Armenians surviving in brand new United states (estimations is actually inexact as the Southwest Far-eastern and you can Northern African teams aren’t counted once the good racial class regarding Census and you may of numerous Armenians emigrated regarding other countries [age.g., Iran and Lebanon] towards the You), the realm of therapy has not yet purchased sufficient search so you can enhance energetic psychological state therapy and you can behavioural health properties with Armenian Americans. Ninety % of your own Armenian population in the united states were little ones away from genocide survivors . Also millennium after the Armenian Genocide, collective upheaval continues to impact the mental health from Armenian charmdate reviews anyone. Survivors of your 1988 quake within the Armenia commonly said nightmares that have pictures associated not only to the newest quake, but into Armenian Genocide you to definitely the forefathers got experienced . Such relationships train the latest noted similarities anywhere between both of these era out of cumulative injury, also size fatalities, interruption off community commitment, and disconnection throughout the motherland. On the other hand, this new disturbance survivors’ link with the fresh genocide reflects how Armenians contextualize the progressive experiences from the genocide. Karenian et al. unearthed that thirty five.7% away from Armenian People in the us declaration certain outward indications of shock, with significant feeling reported certainly one of females, the elderly, and those with familial effect of genocide. Specific members reported survivor shame, while others advertised serious pain associated with injustices, instance discrimination, prejudice, and you will shortage of identification. Concurrently, users with more serious harrowing experience claimed nearer ties to your society. Hence, there is certainly research one to Armenian Americans experience symptoms out of trauma associated on Armenian Genocide and you may ensuing displacement and unlawful death of social items. Likewise, modern contextual factors in the usa enjoy a cause of the introduction of mental health questions. Organization discrimination, xenophobia, and a hostile Western framework on the SWANA organizations is also then aggravate brand new feeling off historical community-established traumatization into the one another mental health and you will ethnic title innovation . Such, the latest backlash on the SWANA communities in the usa immediately after September 11th, as a result of improved security and you will targeted dislike crimes, triggered pervasive nervousness and you may alienation, a sense of victimization, and you will fears to own shelter Transgenerational upheaval is actually exacerbated of the stigma and you may discrimination to the descendants in the context of society.
Which have such as restricted lookup toward descendants of Armenian Genocide, the latest proceeded feeling of the Armenian Genocide into community’s intellectual fitness remains improperly checked out
Though some boffins claim that descendants that have direct familial publicity, meaning a direct mother or grandparent just who live the newest genocide, said notably high depression and you can nervousness reviews versus a low-direct familial publicity classification , others unearthed that imagined cultural feeling of the genocide and Armenian ethnic name, as opposed to understood familial impression, was in fact likely to exhibit second stress symptoms . Because of the good beliefs off both familism and collectivism, impacts ilial exposure and social title.
Another potential matter for the determining brand new impact off transgenerational indication away from genocide traumatization has defective medical analysis steps from injury-relevant distress certainly one of ethnic minority organizations. Psychological state studies have historically put players out-of West, educated, industrialized, steeped and democratic (WEIRD) communities, and then make broad generalizations in the mental health norms towards the complete the amount off peoples assortment . Although not, there is certainly essential differences in psychological state speech considering the latest expected different expressing stress in almost any societies, such as for example somatization off psychological state. Including, PTSD bodian genocide survivors on account of cultural dilemma when a western psychologist doesn’t be aware of the perspective off idioms out of stress or know somatic symptoms, such as sweating, faintness, and “weak cardiovascular system” because the culturally requested different mental worry [42,43].

Most behaviors can be turned around
Question: I’m wondering whether or not there’s such thing as a dog “turning” on you or someone else, and secondly, if you have an aggressive dog, can he be rehabilitated?
Answer: These are both excellent questions. The short answer for the first one is “no, not really.” I can pretty much guarantee that any dog who has allegedly “turned” on someone, showed signs of dominance as a little guy well before the incident. I have seen many times, dog owners actually notice or be aware of, what technically is a dominant behavior with their puppy, but because they didn’t really know what they were looking at, didn’t fully understand the ramifications, and how they could manifest moving forward, so their cute little puppy got a pass for something that ultimately turned out to be a real problem when he grew up. They just missed the indicators that spelled out a dominant tendency, but a dog always shows a propensity toward either dominance or submissiveness, and all dogs fall somewhere on that scale. You need to know what you’re looking for though. A dog who’s more dominant, essentially has a subconscious desire to attain rank and be the pack leader. As a little guy, he is clearly more pushy. A dog with submissive tendencies, more readily accepts a subordinate role, and after a couple of hard boundaries, is more likely to give up on mouthing you or jumping on you, for example. And although all dogs have different personalities for sure, dominance versus submissiveness, is one of the only true variables in their behavior and psychology. For the record, a more submissive dog is generally easier to train. Can a more dominant dog be trained? Absolutely, but because we must always meet and exceed our dog’s energy, a more dominant dog takes a bit more ‘intention.’ Energy equals dominance, so we basically have to be somewhat more dominant than our dominant dog, and we need to remember that communicating dominance or a more intense energy to your dog, doesn’t have anything to do with anger. Dogs don’t get “angry” and don’t understand it. As a matter of fact, “losing it” with your dog actually undermines your leadership position. That’s a topic for another column, though.
Whether you have a puppy or an older dog, it’s important to communicate appropriate messages to him about where he falls in the pack order. Dogs don’t have conversations about this sort of thing. Again, they communicate with energy and body language. Appropriate messages include not allowing your dog to jump on you or even put a paw on you. Max mustn’t growl or put his mouth on you in any fashion, either. These bad habits are easier to head off when he is little, but if you have a dog one year of age or older, who insists on the above behaviors, it’s important you try to turn them around, as they won’t just magically “get better,” and are a prelude to a potential lifetime of issues. Of course the above indicators aren’t the only ones. There are other pushy, dominant behavioral patterns too. But objectionable dog behaviors are more readily influenced and rehabilitated than those of humans, because their psychology isn’t as complicated.
Often when a dog owner tells me their dog is “aggressive,” usually in actuality, he’s just a little dominant. Truly aggressive dogs, although trainable, are a challenge and require the assistance of an expert to help you facilitate a shift in his persona. With a dog who’s just somewhat dominant, he can be turned around, but again, depending on the level of dominance, you may require help from someone who really knows what they’re doing.
When it comes down to it, (even though there is such a thing as a dog who simply has a “screw loose”), in almost all cases, unacceptable behaviors can be remediated. As always, the two main ingredients required in the rehabilitation process are time and patience.

Today we had a talk by the author and translator Allan Cameron on his new book ‘In Praise of the Garrulous‘. In it, he sings the praise of ‘Garrulousness’ or talkativeness, and rejects the idea that human languages were initially homogeneous. Indeed, he claimed that monolingualism is not our natural state, but we are designed to handle multiple languages, dialects and registers.
He also talked about the idea that there is a trade-off between linguistic diversity and the ability of a society to accumulate knowledge through technologies such as writing. Although he did acknowledge that some systems (e.g. Chinese) protect linguistic diversity by transcending exact phonetic representation.
The talk was illustrated by a wide range of sources – literary and historical – including the role of the printing industry in Venice on the standardisation and spread of modern day Italian. The book promises to be an interesting approach to language evolution that takes into account many aspects that current scientific researchers leave out such as how power and war influence how languages change.

Many people easily get sick and often they are told to have weak or low immunity system. If you are one of these people or you often find yourself catching cold or flu, then it’s time to make a decision and do something about your immune response. The immunity system is a complex and intricate system of biological structures and processes in the body that functions as a protection mechanism against diseases. Designed to defend against a host of bacteria, viruses, microbes, parasites, and toxins that invade the human body, the immune system which is made of specialized cells that move through blood and tissue has the ability to keep you away from getting sick or not.
It is said that over 80% of the condition of your immune function lies on the health of your gastrointestinal tract and/or digestive system where millions of living organisms – both good and bad – reside. The balance of these micro-organisms is highly essential otherwise, excessive amount of bad bacteria can cause inflammation, allergy, and diseases. To maintain balance between beneficial bacteria and bad bacteria, it is important to give your system a boost by taking more probiotics. These are good bacteria that defends your body from the harmful effects of bad bacteria. Consequently, probiotics strengthen your immune response and keep you from illnesses. Probiotics are actually already in your system but they can also be ingested in the form of various food sources, drinks, or supplements. If you want to make sure you’re taking probiotics everyday you can start taking supplements, check the best rated probiotics on www.probiotic-supplement.net here.
There are also other supplements that can help improve your immunity and prevent you from getting colds and flu. It is recommended to go for those made with safe and natural ingredients though.

President Trump’s contempt for the media, which he has dubbed the “enemy of the people,” is no secret. The president has also publicly criticized and insulted several prominent black women, including Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who he has described as having a “low IQ.”
This week Trump singled out three African-American female journalists for asking him questions — Abby Phillip, who Trump said asked “stupid” questions, April Ryan, whom he called “a loser,” and Yamiche Alcindor, who, according to Trump, asked “a racist question” about his white nationalist supporters during a press conference at the White House.
Reverends Irene Monroe and Emmett G. Price III joined Jim Braude and Margery Eagan on Boston Public Radio Monday for their weekly "All Revved Up" segment to discuss Trump’s relationship to women of color in the media.
“He has a tremendous contempt against women in general, and a particular spot for African-American women,” Monroe said. “What I like about all of them is that they didn’t allow Trump to exploit this racist trope of the ‘angry black woman’ ... they stayed very professional.”
“These women have such grace and are so polished,” Price said. “You look at these black women who are in the national media who are standing up, and they go back to their job and they ask the hard questions.”
Irene Monroe is a syndicated religion columnist, the Boston voice for Detour’s African American Heritage Trail, and a visiting researcher in the religion and conflict transformation program at Boston University’s School of Theology. Emmett G. Price III is a professor and founding executive director of the Institute for the Study of the Black Christian Experience at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Autoblog might obtain a share from acquisitions made by means of web links on this web page. Prices as well as schedule undergo transform. No contribution or settlement is required to win this drawing or go into. See official rules on Omaze.
The statistics: 641 horse power. 0–60 in simply over 3 secs. A full throttle of 190 miles per hr. Every one of those audio excellent in an efficiency vehicle, yet in a five-seat SUV, they’re bonkers. When you’re behind the wheel of the 2021 Lamborghini Urus, that kind of efficiency is what you obtain. Usually among these super-SUVs will certainly cost you right around a quarter of a million bucks, but also for those people that do not have that sort of money, simply directly over to Omaze, where they’re giving away a Urus, along with $20,000 in cash, with all tax obligations as well as distribution costs covered.
Right Here’s what we claimed regarding the Urus when we initially supported the wheel:
” With a complete day of dust, track as well as road driving in advance of us, our impressions show up rapid as well as difficult at the 2.54- mile Vallelunga circuit near Rome. It really feels weird to rest behind the wheel of a Lamborghini with a turbocharged V8 as well as space for 5, yet the whip-like velocity from a grinding halt leaves you completely satisfied as well as neck-strained. This point is wickedly fast, with a declared 0-to-62- miles per hour time of 3.6 secs. It may be quicker than that in the real life. That’s faster than a Gallardo, which isn’t encumbered a 4,843- extra pound visual weight. Go down the vehicle’s mathematical mass from your mind, as well as Urus additionally really feels amazingly active in edges. Assisted by energetic roll stablizing, an air shock absorber that can reduce the vehicle approximately 1.6 inches, energetic damping, torque vectoring, as well as sticky Pirelli Corsa rubber, the Urus takes care of to dance its means breezily via edges regardless of its family member heft. The criterion 10- piston carbon ceramic brakes supply incredible quiting power, though it occasionally seemed like there was some added brake help that was improving the stagnation initiatives, making it tough to carefully regulate brake launch throughout edge access.
” Dip the throttle as well as 641 horse power as well as 627 pound-feet of torque obtains set with a great deal helpful from the computer systems; there are some dilemmas at Vallelunga that would certainly have produced understeer from a much more analog automobile, yet the Urus’s four-wheel drive, four-wheel guiding as well as torque vectoring allow a point-and-shoot method at the track. Merely intend the guiding wheel in the preferred instructions, go down the hammer, as well as the vehicle barrels in the direction of its trajectory like a heat-seeking rocket. Whereas a supercar like the Huracan Performante utilizes mainly natural ways of obtaining its track good manners– assume, normally aspirated engine, no four-wheel guiding– the Urus has an intricate toolbox of electronic devices in its tools cache. The facility differential is a reasonably traditional mechanical Torsen device with a 40/60 power split, as well as Lamborghini’s initial usage of complete torque vectoring changes power left as well as.
” With a horse power height at 6,000 rpm as well as an indicated redline of 6,500, the Urus isn’t a high-revving error like Lamborghini’s normally aspirated mills (though it will gladly press past the redline right into a soft limiter). Instead, it’s a stubborn, torque-rich powerplant that generates burbly, low-frequency audios. There are couple of sonic fireworks, though Corsa setting does open the soundtrack a little bit. The leading audios are of the induction as well as low-pitched exhaust range, though driving alongside wall surfaces will certainly emphasize the off-throttle bangs as well as stands out. Principal Technical Policeman Maurizio Reggiani claims a sporting activity exhaust choice is being available in the future, as well as we assume it can not come quickly sufficient. The eight-speed automated transmission changes promptly as well as responsively, as well as suitably efficiently when not in its most hostile Corsa setup. Not rather as versatile as the Huracan’s arrangement, which can go from buttery smooth to extremely sharp, the Urus’s torque converter device really feels suitably tuned for a high-performance SUV, while using a completely reliable launch control that holds power at regarding 2,500 rpm, after that discards it to all 4 wheels.
” While the guiding really feels even more man-made than it does dynamic, as well as there’s a periodic sensation of uncertainty at the front end, the Urus’s efficiency envelope is impressive sufficient to make such quibbles petty. This is an insanely qualified automobile by any kind of procedure that can surpass supercars from simply a couple of years earlier, as well as really feels flawlessly in the house at the track.”
According to Omaze, “no contribution or settlement is required to win this drawing or go into.” If you do select to give away, $10 will certainly obtain you 100 entrances, while $50 will certainly obtain you 1,000 entrances as well as $100 will certainly obtain you 2,000 entrances. Contributions profit Pencils of Assurance. Per Omaze, “Pencils of Assurance (PoP) thinks every youngster must have accessibility to high quality education and learning. PoP has actually sustained over 540 college constructs, influencing greater than 110,000 trainees throughout Ghana, Guatemala as well as Laos. PoP offers high-grade Instructor Assistance (TS), Social-Emotional Knowing (SEL), as well as Health, cleanliness as well as water (CLEAN) programs. Your kindness sustains accessibility to high quality education and learning as well as improves the education and learning landscape as we understand it.”

Save the Oceans: Scientists accidentally create mutant enzyme that eats plastic bottles
David Attenborough's Blue Planet II brought to the attention of the public the terrible impact that human society is having on the world’s oceans and, in particular, the scourge of plastic in our oceans. An estimated one million plastic bottles are sold every minute around the globe, with many ending up in the oceans and harming marine life and making their way into the food-chain and potentially harming people who eat seafood. Every year an estimated eight million tonnes of the material flows into the oceans. New technologies are emerging and bioplastics, derived from renewable biomass sources and often (but not always!) more easily biodegradable, are becoming more widely used in bottles, containers and food wrappers among other applications. A major issue, nonetheless, is represented by all the plastic items already produced as plastic is a long-lasting pollutant. For this reason, today's news that scientists have developed a mutant enzyme that breaks down PET plastic* sounds like a very promising step towards a planet without plastic pollution.
* polyethylene terephthalate is plastic more commonly used for soft drink bottles.

Celebrities including James Corden and Bill Bailey have joined a campaign to lift the TV ban on Iceland’s Christmas ad about the plight of orangutans.
They joined the public outcry following a watchdog’s refusal to allow the 90 second weepie to air on mainstream channels on grounds it was too political.
Since Mirror Online revealed it had been barred by Clearcast, a petition launched on Change.org has been signed by almost 650,000 people.
The poignant animation has been seen by millions on YouTube and other social media channels and Late Late Show host Corden shared the link on Twitter and said: “This commercial was banned from TV for being too political. I think everyone should see it.”
Comedian and musician Bailey tweeted: “I am adding my voice to many who want this to be seen far and wide.”
Clearcast which gives the thumbs up to ads on behalf of the four major broadcasters, said it could not give the ad the green light as it breached Broadcast Code of Advertising Practice (BCAP) rules.
It said: “Clearcast and the broadcasters have to date been unable to clear this Iceland ad because we are concerned that it doesn’t comply with the political rules of the BCAP code.”
The cartoon, first created for environment group Greenpeace, was rebranded for Iceland as it reflected the frozen food store’s pledge to remove palm oil from all its own label products by the end of the year.
But it is the mini film’s association with Greenpeace - seen to be a political organisation - that has led to the ban.
Despite Clearcast’s stand, Brits are calling for a U-turn in an online petition started by Mark Topps, a 30-year-old care home manager of Chelmsford, Essex.
He said “I watched the ad with my daughter who’s five and she really like it.
“I didn’t see it as political at all and I just wanted to raise awareness for the next generation of deforestation and extinction - that’s why I stared it.
“Overall, I’d like to see that advert on TV.”
The animation called Rang-Tan tells how the destruction of rainforests is having a devastating effect on the creatures through the eyes of a baby orangutan.
In the film, the sad animal is found wrecking a girl’s bedroom and when asked why, the camera zooms through the young animals’ eyes to tell the story of how humans have come into her rainforest home and decimated it for palm oil to use in products like shampoo and chocolate.
Scenes show a digger ripping up trees as the baby orangutan flees for her life and she tells the girl: “There’s a human in my forest and I don’t know what to do.
“He took away my mother and I’m scared he’ll take me too.”
The emotive film ends with the words “Dedicated to the 25 orangutans we lose every day.”
Growing demand for controversial palm oil used in food production, cosmetics and biodiesel is devastating tropical rainforests across South East Asia and has put the future of creatures like orangutans at risk.
Neil Hayes, Iceland’s marketing director said: “We were devastated when we found out the advert wasn’t going to be approved, however we’re so pleased that the world has now been able to see our important message. There’s no doubt that Rang-Tan has well and truly captured the heart of the nation.
“Our aim with the advert was to highlight the impact that deforestation through the unsustainable sourcing of palm oil is having on orangutans and the environment they live in, which has been achieved by the outstanding response of the general public on social media and through the petition.”

Stuart McLean is Canada's Garrison Keillor wannabe. He does this show on CBC Radio One, on weekends, that is suspiciously like A Prairie Home Companion, except it's Canadian. He also reads these stories out to the live audience, just like Garrison Keillor. He even reads them in a Garrison Keillor voice. And then he publishes them, just like Garrison Keillor. But I'm assured that he is not in fact Garrison Keillor. Hmm. I've never seen either of them, so I will have to reserve judgement.
ANYway... these stories. They're really quite fun, and I'm often lucky enough to be in the car (the only place I listen to the radio) with the radio on at the right moment to hear one of them in its entirety. And every now and again, I'll notice one of these books in the library and will happily take it home and gobble it up. The stories are touching and funny, and revolve around the lives of a couple from Toronto called Dave and Morley, their two children, and their friends and neighbours. Some of the stories in this collection are merely cute, some don't quite work for me, but then there'll be a gem like "Galway", where Dave tries to toilet train his sister's cat, that had me laughing till tears were running down my face, and "Susan is Serious", where Morley comes to terms with the fact that she and a longtime friend have drifted too far apart to have anything in common. This book also contains a favourite story that McLean repeats fairly often around this time of year, "Christmas Presents", about the year when Morley convinced everyone in the family to do homemade Christmas gifts for one another. Morley decides to make her ten-year-old son a chair that he can keep forever, and signs up for an evening class to help her do so.
She loved going to her chair class. The only thing that spoiled it was that no one else in her family seemed to have embraced the holiday project. She was alone on this Christmas journey.
She asked Stephanie about it one night.
"You don't understand," said Stephanie. "We're different, Mom. You're into the spirit of Christmas. I like the other stuff."
"The other stuff?" asked Morley.
"The shopping," said Stephanie, "the clothes."
"Shopping and clothes?" said Morley.
"And the TV specials," said Stephanie.
Speaking of Christmas, I'd better quit reading all these books and get to work on this spirit of Christmas stuff I'm supposed to be doing.

When a tense casino scene unfolds in a movie, it can have many people gripping the edge of their seats in anticipation. The clinking of chips and the flipping of cards is just so alluring to watch. Regardless of whether the character on the screen is a suave 007 at the baccarat table or the everyday person striking gold on their first slot spin, the world of casinos has been glamorously depicted on the big screen. Yet, as https://bstcasinos.com/ points out, the true essence of gaming can be just as exhilarating online, where the blend of fortune and skill beckons to gamers and pop culture aficionados alike.
The crossover of casino lore in movies and shows
Have you ever noticed that casino scenes in movies tend to be symbolic of a turning point in the narrative flow? That’s no coincidence. It is a common tactic among filmmakers to leverage the suspense of a casino scene – especially one with high stakes – in order to heighten the drama that the audience feels. Some great exemplars include the poker scenes in “Casino Royale” or the shows of strategy in “Ocean’s Eleven.” The main focus of these scenes is not just about luck or the bling of Vegas-style showiness. Instead, the depictions are of a chess-like battle of wits, very familiar to real-world online gaming enthusiasts who navigate gaming platforms.
Learning the game one scene at a time
While James Bond makes it all seem like second nature, for many of us, poker comes with a bit of a learning curve. Thankfully, pop culture serves as an informal teacher. The silver screen inadvertently bridges the gap between neophyte and savant, granting us insights into gameplay and jargon that could otherwise be daunting. From “The Gambler” to “Rounders,” storylines rich with shrewdness and chance give us a basic primer into the world of gambling before we ever think to ante up online.
Online gaming: the new age of interactive entertainment
In today’s digital landscape, the thrills and spills of the casino floor are just a click away. Similar to binge-watching a gripping TV series, engaging in online casino games offers accessible excitement. In the past, taking part in the exhilaration of spinning the wheel or the excitement of winning a table game required players to physically travel to Las Vegas, Monte Carlo or a similar location. Today, online casino operators provide curated access to the best gaming options and bonuses, transforming your living room into the perfect place for your casino adventures.
Strategizing like a film protagonist
Casino sub-narratives tend to mimic the protagonist’s journey in that they display similar strategies and cunning that the protagonist uses in their everyday life. Take Poker as a good example of this. Poker is about more than just the hand you are dealt; it involves bluffing and taking calculated risks, which can also be key elements to the protagonist’s success in their narrative. Moreover, watching a calculated game unfold in a film can indirectly help prepare you for your own virtual game, which adds to your strategy and enjoyment.
When reels and pop icons collide
Online casino games have found ways to cleverly incorporate adored pop culture icons. This is done for the same reason that many people collect action figures or memorabilia; it appeals to their nostalgia. This infusion of pop culture in the online casino experiences enriches the game and it keeps players rooted in the same narratives that inspired their love for thrill-seeking and even casino games in the first place. So, as more new movies come out, especially those with casino themes, expect to see some of the characters pop up in popular casino games as well.
Overall, online gaming platforms offer more than just a chance to win. They bring players a story-rich environment where risk and reward are both exciting possibilities that toy with people. Each play, spin or bet, makes players part of an ongoing cultural tale, one roll of the dice at a time.

- pinch of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter
- Grind the oats with a food processor.
- Mix the egg with the yogurt, vanilla and honey in a small bowl.
- Add the oatmeal and baking soda.
- Preheat a non-stick pan; you’ll need a low to medium heat. Cover the surface with coconut oil or butter.
- Use a large spoon or a ladle to make small pancakes, leaving some space between them so you can easily flip them when they are done.
- When the edges of the pancakes appear cooked and bubbles rise to the top, it’s time to gently, but quickly flip the pancakes.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings!

The Meridian Star
Monday’s discussion about the controversial county bond issue took another turn when one of those objecting to it told the Lauderdale County Board of Supervisors that District Three Supervisor Josh Todd had threatened him prior to the meeting.
Todd denied threatening Williams.
During the citizens comments portion of the meeting, Tommy Williams, one of the objectors to the bond issue, said Todd had made a threatening remark.
“He said, ‘I’ll be your friend or I’ll be your enemy,’ Williams said. “I said, ‘Look I’m your enemy on this.’ He said, ‘You better watch your back.’”
During the meeting, Todd answered that accusation by saying, “I don’t make threats, I make promises.”
Following the board meeting, The Meridian Star asked Williams exactly what happened. Williams said prior to the board meeting, he was outside the board room in the lobby of the Raymond Davis Annex building. He said he was trying to ask Todd about money in the budget for the project.
The threat, Williams said, came after he told Todd “You need to get into the numbers since you are one of the ones who approved it,” referring to the $14 million bond issue.
It was then, according to Williams, Todd said he would be Williams’ friend or his enemy.
The following is what Williams said was stated between he and Todd.
“I said, ‘Look I’m your enemy on this.’ He said, ‘You better watch your back.’”
Asked about the exchange following the meeting, Todd said he did not threaten Williams.
The following is what Todd said was stated between he and Williams.
"I said, 'You can either be my enemy or my friend.' He said 'You already are my enemy. Then I said 'I'll watch my back. I didn't say, 'You watch your back.' I said 'I'll watch my back.'"
Late Monday afternoon, Williams said he had filed a report with the Meridian Police Department. He said he did not misunderstand what Todd said.
“I know what I heard,” Williams said.

The Navy also impounded three fibre boats with 200, 175 and 150 horsepower Yamaha outboard engines used by the suspects to ferry the contraband rice to Nigeria.
Other items seized include generator alongside other items used by the smugglers in their illegal operations. Addressing correspondents in Ibaka last weekend during the hand-over of the suspects and items to the Nigeria Customs Service the, Commanding Officer, FOB, Captain Yusuf Idris, represented by Captain Reginald Adoki said the Navy will not cease to apprehend smugglers and expose the new practice of splitting the smuggled rice into smaller boats to escape arrest.
He said the Nigerian Navy is committed to raiding the water ways of illegal activities particularly smuggling which he described as a perennial problem, noting that the authorities of the Navy has equipped the base with everything they need to check all forms of marine crimes.
“On behalf of the Commanding Officer of the base, I hand over these 4 suspects, all of them Nigerians and a total of 120 bags of 50kg rice, 4 Yamaha outboard engines which have 200 horsepower, 175 horsepower and 150 horsepower; there is also one defective generator and other items.” Mbo River close to the base loaded with 50kg of foreign rice suspected to have been smuggled into the country from the Republic of Cameroon.
“It is my wish to continue to reiterate the commitment of the Nigerian Navy to rid the waterways of illegal activities particularly smuggling which has been a perennial problem in their area.
We have observed the use of smaller boats by smugglers to converge the illegal products thinking that if it is put in bigger boats, it is easily detectable. “Their choice of using smaller boats and distributed the rice into three boats was a way of evading arrest. Despite all these tactics, the Navy has a more robust and intelligent arrangement that no matter how they try to evade detection, we will always detect them and bring them to book,” he said.
Receiving the suspects and items, the Chief Superintendent of Customs in charge of harbour, Ibrahim Adamu who represented the Controller, Eastern Marine Command, NCS, Port Harcourt, Elton Edorhe, appreciated the Nigerian Navy for the collaboration existing between them and appealed that it i should be sustained.
“On behalf of the Custom Area Commander, Elton Edorhe, we will like to use this opportunity to thank the Nigerian Navy, FOC Ibaka, for this wonderful seizure. We hope that this synergy and collaboration that has existed will be sustained.
“I use this opportunity to call on the smugglers, no matter the trick they would use in concealing these illegal items; definitely, the Navy will always fish them out. A word is enough for the wise; they should do the needful and desist from this economic sabotage,” he stated.
Two of the suspects, a driver of one of the boats and his assistant denied being part of the illegal trade, saying they were only doing their jobs to earn a living.
The driver, Asuquo Etim said, “I carry passengers to Cameroon but I used to ply the Bakassi route. I didn’t have passengers to bring back from Cameroon so I decided to bring the rice.
This is my first time of carrying rice; I am an indigene of Oron in Akwa Ibom State”. The driver assistant, Ezekiel Etim from Okobo local government area of the State, said he was a load carrier at the beach and just wanted to earn a living to support his mother and little siblings.
“This is my first time of joining the driver who I saw by the road side. I joined him to carry passengers but since we found none to carry, the owners of the rice pleaded with us to convey the rice and we did. I am the conductor of the boat and assist to remove water from the boat; this is my first time and I have not even been paid for the job I did,” he lamented.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Susan G. Komen Foundation is hoping to empower generations of Asian-American women at its annual breast health awareness event tomorrow.
Breast Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Asian women in the U.S. And for Asian women living in America, there’s a 60 percent higher chance of receiving the diagnosis than women living in Asia.
“Compared to other women, Asian American women are least likely to have a mammogram,” says Dr. Nina Ahmad, chair of the Mayor’s Commission on Asian Affairs. She will be speaking at tomorrow’s event at the Sheraton in Center City. “Anecdotally, one of the reasons is many Asian families don’t have health insurance because they run small businesses and they can’t afford it. One of the other reasons is that Asian women, like most women, put themselves last.”
“Statistics show that Asian women are sharing almost the same problems that Caucasian women are,” says Elaine Grobman, president of Komen Philadelphia. She says the goal of the event is to educate Asian American women about breast health by making the information more accessible.
“The information will be shared in 11 dialects, plus English,” says Grobman. “We will provide information and the opportunity for a free mammogram if needed.”
The free event will includes workshops, speakers and entertainment. It starts at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow, June 1st. For more info, KomenPhiladelphia.org.


Eat on a fancy plate!
I love this tip for turning a daily meal into a celebration. Making a colorful and tasty plate with food and enjoying the fun of cooking and eating are all ways to exercise conscious food. Studies suggest that the health benefits of Mediterranean-style foods, which include an abundance of vegetables, olive oil and seafood, are likely to be exacerbated by the tendency of people in the region to enjoy and enjoy their food and any meal. to transform into a party with friends and family.
No more multitasking while eating.
Many readers have discovered that they have a habit of looking at their phones, reading, doing work, or watching television while eating. While there is nothing wrong with enjoying your food while watching the Super Bowl or on the night of a family movie, conscious food is best achieved if your focus is on the meal.
“My biggest aha moment so far: slowing down and really being present while I eat,” a reader shared. “I put my phone or book somewhere else and just focus on the taste, smell, texture, appearance of my food. I enjoy the food so much more than I enjoy it!”
Put the fork down.
A number of readers shared this advice, noting that once they became more aware of their eating habits, they noticed that they had a tendency to shake off a new forkful of food before they were even ready to chew. Learning to put the fork down between the bites helped her focus on the taste and texture of her food, instead of the next bite. A consistent theme I heard from readers is that conscious food also helped them to slowly slow down at the dinner table, making them realize how quickly they swallowed their food, a habit that was often learned in childhood.
Use smaller plates.
A number of readers have told us that using smaller dishes has helped them to serve smaller portions and tune in to the hunger and satiety signals of their body. With smaller plates, seconds are still an option if you are still hungry.
“American tableware is enormous, and it’s really easy to fill the plate,” shared one reader. “Many of us were also trained by our parents to clean our plates, so we do not stop eating when we are full.”
Never shop while hungry.
By paying attention to hunger signals helped readers realize that it is better not to shop for food while they are hungry. Studies show that when people shop on an empty stomach, they do not buy more food – they buy higher-calorie, less healthy food. This happens because our brains are more reactive to “rewarding” sweet and salty foods when we are hungry.

Those involved in the citizens video patrol will have guidelines to follow.
By PEGGY SINKOVICH
VINDICATOR TRUMBULL STAFF
WARREN -- Thomas S. Conley, president and CEO of the Trumbull County Urban League, hopes a citizens video patrol will begin patrolling the streets in the next few weeks.
"We are interviewing and taking applications," Conley said. "We will have guidelines for people to follow and they will have to go over the rules with us before they start."
Conley asked for volunteers last week after allegations of police abuse against Warren officers.
The patrol will be asked to record activities of city police to document their actions.
No problem with taping
Police Chief John Mandopoulos has said he has no problem with people's videotaping police at the scene as long as the tape is not edited and portrays what actually happened.
The integrity of the tape is important, the chief said. If it is found to be altered, the people responsible could face penalties.
"The chief called me and said that if people are taking videotape, police officers can mark down their license plate," Conley said. "The chief said this would be done in the event that the police would need a copy of the videotape."
The chief could not be reached.
"I hope no good citizen would ever be intimated by any law enforcement officer while observing or video taping as long as they were in no way interfering with the officer while he or she is performing their duties," said Law Director Greg Hicks
"I can understand that a prosecutor or a defense attorney may want a tape of an arrest but I would hope that an officer would ask a person their name and address first before taking a license plate number. I would hope that this wouldn't be used as an intimidation tactic."
Thinks patrol will help
Conley noted he doesn't want to cause problems with the police but he feels the videotape patrol will help when allegations are made against police. He said several residents complained of police brutality last month. Police say about 100 to 150 people -- mostly teenagers -- spilled onto North Park Avenue early March 15 after a birthday party ended at the Comfort Inn downtown.
Police reports indicate there were many fights and yelling when officers arrived. Police arrested seven juveniles and one adult.
Conley said a 15-year-old girl told him she was slammed into a cruiser by an officer. A 19-year-old man said he was assaulted by police after being handcuffed.
The urban league has asked the Department of Justice to investigate.
Conley said a federal official contacted him and they plan to meet later this month.

Above: Jamaica Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller
By the Caribbean Journal staff
Caribbean banks must consistently adhere to international standards, according to Jamaica Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller.
The PM was making the call in an address to more than 200 delegates at the 39th Annual General Meeting and Conference of the Caribbean Association of Banks this week in Montego Bay.
Simpson Miller addressed the particular concern in the region for the upcoming implementation of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act in the United States, which will have a significant impact on the way regional banks operate.
The act is part of an effort by the United States to combat what it sees as tax evasion by US tax payers who hold offshore accounts.
“I do not need to tell a gathering of this nature about the increasing attention which has been paid to the financial services industry worldwide, particularly over the last four to five years,” she said. “In fact, some of the reactions to the sector from many governments can only be described as ‘hostile.’ It has been argued that the sector, in many instances, has been cavalier in the handling of funds of clients and depositors.”
Against that background, she said, she said she understood the need for the government to “ensure that taxation is equitable and those with the greatest income pay their fair share.
“From our vantage point, we have to make clear that even whilst recognizing their motivation, we should wish for consideration to be given to the possible negative repercussions on our institutions,” she said. “This is so, given the efforts which have been made to attract legal foreign exchange in our countries.”
It remained important that Caribbean institutions be required to meet international standards to avoid being labeled as the kind of centres which “accommodate” questionable financial transactions, she said.
“We in the Caribbean must never accept a label of being second best,” she said. “We have demonstrated that in certain fields, we are not only equal to anyone else in the world, but may I dare say, that we are superior to anyone else.”
She called on Caribbean banks to quickly identify their reservations, and then indicate the ways in which “we can assist with achieving the objectives of the FATCA legislation in ways which are not detrimental to the stability of our institutions.”
