IHeartMedia is teaming with esports organization Super League Gaming to offer metaverse ad opportunities for brands looking to court younger, digitally minded consumers.
The partnership will primarily serve iHeartMedia’s brand partners in Roblox and Minecraft, where Super League maintains ad tech solutions and creator networks. The esports company last year bought Bloxbiz, a platform that displays in-game ads in Roblox, such as on virtual billboards and the sides of buildings. Roblox has become the go-to metaverse destination for advertisers thanks to its near-50 million monthly users and open landscape where brands can build themed worlds to interact with players.
Super League also owns Minehut, a community on Minecraft that provides unlimited, free server hosting. Minecraft, owned by Microsoft, has been a favorite among young gamers for years, and has recently attracted brand activations from Lacoste and Dawn.
Beyond selling Super League’s ad inventory to advertisers, iHeartMedia will utilize the esports company’s guidance and resources for its own metaverse plans, specifically its “iHeartLand” virtual spaces. It will also help to distribute Super League’s new 3D and non-player character (NPC) ad units. State Farm used an NPC last fall to bring its Jake spokescharacter to the NBA2K video game.

Warning: This episode contains spoilers for season 2, episode 3 of ‘The Mandalorian’
“Star Wars: The Mandalorian” brought us some older characters in season 2’s third episode, and also a new one in the form of Sasha Banks.
- Banks — a professional wrestler — debuted on the show after much speculation about her role.
We don’t learn much about Reeves in this episode. She has a quick wit and offer some snappy remarks to Mando. Other than that, we’re clueless.
- Reeves will be teaming with Kryze to try and find the darksaber, which is currently with Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Espositio).
She briefly appeared in the first trailer for the second season. As she appeared, the voiceover text spoke about the Jedi, so there was some speculation that she would be a Jedi. There was some speculation she could be Ahsoka or Sabine Wren, one of the main characters in “Star Wars Rebels.” Instead, we learned she is Reeves.
Cageside Seats speculated there could more to come for the character.
- “We’ll see how big Sasha’s role is, but this does indicate she won’t be an extra or hidden under makeup for her first big acting gig.”

From time immemorial, man has sought to make a mark on the face of the world. That is art.
One of the oldest forms of art is rock drawing, where in Africa the heritage has been in existence for thousands of years.
The Trust for African Rock Art (Tara), a non-governmental organisation, which operates in more than 30 countries in the continent, says the art “helps us understand how our ancestors thought, saw and portrayed their world.”
In pre-historic times, artistic cave men adorned walls with paintings of animals.
However, groups hooked to preserving this wealth is raising the alarm the heritage is in danger, with a pointer that more focus on the monetary value in drawings may be chopping and chiselling it to death.
There is also the danger of defacing priceless and ageless paintings — graffiti.
“There is no known connection between the contemporary art and the rock art that dates to so many years ago. One has to start by understanding art and know rock art was neither for beauty nor for sale but mainly for spiritual and cultural beliefs,” says David Coulson, the executive chairman of Tara.
Random comments by artists that Africans did not appreciate the value of drawings, carvings, and other types of creatives and were offering a pittance for the collections is being challenged.
It contrasts with the argument that the art was helping the modern man to understand how ancestors thought about and perceived the world, now suffering vandalism.
Said Kofi Annan, the then UN secretary general in 2005: “Africa’s rock art is the common heritage of humanity. As populations increase and vandalism and theft of Africa’s rock art are on the rise, this irreplaceable resource is highly threatened.”
He urged the continent to “take a new and more active role [to] save this cultural heritage before it is too late.”
Fumiko Ohinata, a programme specialist for culture at Unesco is walking in tandem:
“Rock art is one of the most unappreciated types of heritage locally. Understanding the importance of the art is not a subject that is taken seriously in Kenya hence the poor knowledge.”
Tara has identified vandalism cases including the 10,000- year-old engraving of two mythical creatures in Libya, which now has a crack at the top while other engravings are threatened by vibrations from oil exploration.
In western Kenya, an international restoration expert was called in to work on defacing paintings; the site is now a national monument.
Rock art theft, says the Trust, represents “serious threats” to heritages in Algeria and Morocco.
In western Chad, there is a bullet-ridden painting of a camel.
While rock art is not widely appreciated in Kenya, it attracts attention of historians and sociologists.
The art is concentrated in the northern and western parts of the country and areas like Laikipia, Lukenya, Kisii, Ukambani and at the Nairobi National Museum.
Tara, which was founded in 1996 by Coulson under the patronage of renowned archaeologist Mary Leakey, is focused on promoting awareness on rock art.
“We manage rock art and promote its conservation in 30 countries in Africa, Kenya being one of them. We survey sites and document rock art alongside establishing community projects that seek to promote this piece of cultural heritage,” said Gloria Borona, the trust’s manager for community projects.
Tara in partnership with the National Museums of Kenya, the State institution mandated to preserve cultural and national heritage, is setting up community museums where the art is found and hold exhibitions to promote their use and conservation.
The ‘Dawn of Imagination’ exhibition, a two-year long parade that ran at the National Museum from March 2008, was one of the shows.
“By running such exhibitions, we link up with the government efforts towards conservation of the often neglected and vandalised form of art in Kenya,” said Ms Borona.
The missing link is the thread between present art forms and rock art as seen 7,000 years ago, she says.
Thanks to donor funding, Tara has been running campaigns to establish community museums and other programmes aimed at conservation.
The European Union has donated Sh14.5 million through the Tourist Trust Fund (TTF) towards promoting community tourist sites where rock art is found while Safaricom Foundation donated Sh1.2 million to help in restoring the Kikapel site in western Kenya under the National Museums of Kenya.
Apart from failing to appreciate the art, especially in the modern world where concentration is on the sciences, technology and business, vandalism is thriving partly because of failing to see the link between the genre and modernity.
People who visit rock art sites have been known to destroy the materials.
Tara asks tourists or people living in areas where the heritage is found “not to walk on, deface or touch rock art, or remove their parts.”
Says Ms Borona: “In the case of the Abasuba Community Peace Museum, the entry fees funds community projects while tour guide fees goes to the guides. We train them on how to guide the tourists to ensure the arts are not destroyed. This way, the community relates better with the art,” said Ms Borona.
The Abasuba museum on the Mfang’ano Island in Lake Victoria opened doors to the public in October 2008.
The Tara team says community involvement is one of the ways it is extending public education by helping residents to recognise the benefits including creating employment opportunities.
Conservation groups say giving residents a chance to experience the benefits of a project originating from their wealth is crucial to success.

When you find out you're pregnant for the first time, there is a wave of emotions that vary. For me it was sheer panic that eventually evolved into excitement. For others it's over-the-moon elation. And you have 9 months to gear up and get ready. I'm thankful that the Lord gives us 9 months, because for people like me, I needed every second of those 40 weeks....plus 2 days. And during those 40 weeks you do things differently, because you are already beginning to practice self-sacrificing love for the good of your baby. Like giving up caffeine (errr, mostly), unprocessed cheeses, sushi or your nightly glass of wine. That motherly instinct kicks in and is fierce even when you haven't met your baby.
When one of my best girlfriends was awaiting the arrival of her baby, we were talking about how excited she was to meet him and how she loves him already. And I told her, "just you wait! You think you love that baby now, and you do as much as you know how to....until you meet him." I told her how your heart grows 10 fold with that last push and doubles with every moment after. That definition of love changes so fast it will make your head spin and heart swell. It's truly unfathomable how much love you can have for a person. The current is strong and it runs deep. It's a love you can truly never dream up, unless you've known it before.
Enter baby #2 (or 3, or 4, or in my mom's case 5, 6, 7, and 8). While I "love" the baby that is growing in me now, I know it isn't a fraction of the love I will have when I push that baby out. But I do know, I will. I know lot's of mom's that worry about the birth of a second child and if they could possibly love another as much as they do their first. I'm not worried about that at all. I know I will. Just look around. Is there a mom on the planet who doesn't? I haven't seen a single one. No, I can hardly wait to do it again and for my heart to double in size. Because it will. While my first child made me a momma, and showed me how much I can love, baby #2 will show me how much more I can!
Wife of 4 years, mom to 1, oldest sister to 7...I'm striving to be an EXCELLENT wife, and not a perfect wife. Reading about the Prov. 31 woman is truly inspiring and something to strive for and to be encouraged by, not discouraged!

Stoltzfus is the drummer for Philly space cadets The Azusa Plane, but unlike that band's astral aspirations, WATCH IT HAPPEN is pop of the purest kind. Wonderful and sweet, it's capable of inducing a giddy, intoxicating high-if you love pop, that is. And this recording is impossible not to love. Beautiful ballads, gorgeous vocals, and catchy hooks careen and collide with one another like protons in a particle accelerator. And just like sub-atomic particles in a collision, these songs give off energy and light. Unlike the army of imitators who blindly ape the form of albums like The.

Cranky Goat cheese may not be world famous in Marlborough for much longer. What started as a low-key retirement side gig, has exploded to become one of the stars of Aotearoa’s burgeoning cheese scene, now making it world famous in New Zealand.
Simon and Hellene Lamb started making cheese as a hobby with milk from their neighbour’s goat farm over 8 years ago. The couple quickly saw potential for the goat cheese business. In 2014 they started out with plans of processing 60L of milk a day to make enough cheese to sell at the Nelson and Marlborough farmers markets. Unfortunately, the couple have been far too successful and have ended up processing 500L of creamy goat milk a day, producing 1.5 tonnes of cheese a month. To achieve this the Lamb’s work seven days a week, for nine months of the year. When asked if she’s having fun, Hellene said ’Absolutley!’.
Because working seven days a week, for nine months of the year isn’t hard enough work the Cranky Goat duo have diversified into cow’s cheese, the aptly named, Moody Cow and most recently Cranky Goat Yogurt.
In addition to this, a couple of years ago Simon was part of team of cheesemakers who worked with the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), providing input into the development of the Food Safety Template for Cheesemakers. As part of the Food Act 2014, MPI has to support New Zealand food businesses by developing and implementing easy-to-use and efficient regulations. The template is to help cheesemakers comply with both the Food Act. Hellene says that the template has cut both their paperwork and their compliance costs.
This diversification and volunteerism reflect the couple’s energy and passion for their business, craft and the artisan cheese sector…and that they are without doubt failing at having a quiet life in the Marlborough Sounds!

We are delighted to announce that Saltgate has committed £20,000 to the work and services of Mind Jersey during 2020. This significant and welcome donation is most timely, coming at a period of considerably increased uncertainty and heightened anxiety. It will enable our charity to expand its work in bringing additional support to islanders both during the crisis and in the aftermath.
James Le Feuvre, Mind Executive Director said: ‘Over the years we have established an excellent relationship with Saltgate and we are delighted to receive their support again, particularity at this difficult time when the income stream from our Nearly New shop has completely ceased and a range of other fundraising activities through the summer are in serious jeopardy’.
Hannah Culshaw, Group Chief Corporate Officer of Saltgate said, "We understand that the charities in our communities are going to struggle more than usual to find funding at this critical time. We want to enable these charities and their networks to be able to focus on delivering their often vital and key services, and to help relieve them of the worry of how they will be funded. The volunteers and charity workers are working so hard, and we want them to know that they are acknowledged and very much appreciated.”
Mind is not alone in recognising how existing and emerging technologies are transforming how we communicate with the broader community – especially in times of a ‘lockdown’. Whilst we are doing our very best in this new environment, and are investing considerable time and effort in promoting and managing our social media outlets, we have recognised that we need to invest in some equipment to facilitate more on-line individual and multi-lateral discussions, support groups and meetings.
We know that many young people actively prefer to communicate in this way and are confident that, given time, other demographic groups that are lonely, housebound or isolated might embrace this approach as well. Some may come to prefer the safety and confidentiality that they might feel in being able to talk to someone from the privacy and security of their own home. This, in no way, negates the benefits that accrue from face to face meetings which we know will resume once this is all over – but it offers up new possibilities and opportunities that we are keen to embrace.
Whilst we are still uncertain about how many islanders may be affected by the virus it is already evident that anxiety and distress is increasing. Some of this is based upon a feeling of helplessness and isolation from loved ones, friends and colleagues. This is compounded for those with elderly relatives whom they cannot visit and, especially, those with family elsewhere in the UK or further afield. Whilst we do not know the extent of this it is very likely that there will be a significant upsurge in islanders seeking support as the virus recedes.
We are already thinking about how we might meet this demand – particularly in delivering the low intensity and early interventions that we have always promoted. This means responding quickly to requests for support. Listening to people, guiding and signposting them on, if appropriate, to other services and generally helping ‘nip things in the bud’. This approach could help a significant number of islanders better manage their own mental health and also take pressure off more specialist services which would otherwise be inundated.

Man shot by police in West Valley charged in domestic dispute
WEST JORDAN — Charges have been filed against the man arrested for threatening officers with a gun this week in the lobby of the West Valley City Police Department, indicating he was involved in a dispute with his wife the night before.
Police say they responded Sunday to a domestic dispute between James Ramsey Kammeyer, 39, and his wife, the night before he entered the police station.
West Jordan police provided no information about the dispute, but Kammeyer has been charged with one count of criminal mischief and two counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child. All charges are class B misdemeanors.
Kammeyer entered the police department just before 8:30 a.m. Monday, asking that an officer come out from behind the lobby's protective glass and later drawing a weapon. An officer responding to the lobby fired multiple shots at Kammeyer from 15 to 20 feet away, hitting him twice in the arm.
Kammeyer was treated at an area hospital and later booked into Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of attempted murder, aggravated assault, possession of a weapon by a restricted person, aggravated burglary and threats against life or property.
In December 2012, officers responded to a report of a suicidal man. Kammeyer had cut his wrists and "told officers at that time that he wanted to die suicide by cop," said West Valley Police Sgt. Jason Hauer. The man said he was a registered sex offender and his wife was taking his children away from him.
Utah court records show Kammeyer was arrested by West Valley police in 1998. He pleaded guilty to sex abuse of a child, a second-degree felony, in 1999. Kammeyer received a suspended prison sentence and was placed on three years' probation.

text: Pope Francis stated that the changes in the process of securing a declaration of nullity were motivated by “concern for the salvation of souls,” and particularly “charity and mercy” toward those who feel alienated from the Church because of their marriage situations. It’s important to note that the new rules are about declaring the nullity of a marriage; declaring that it never existed as a valid sacrament, rather than about annulling marriages, hence affirming the Catholic teaching on marriage indissolubility. While the process still remains a judicial one, the need for review by a second judge will no longer be necessary, unless an appeal is made, therefore typically expediting the overall time involved. Additional procedural streamlining will mean that for most people the process will take less than a year.

We are very proud to announce that EKVALIS has been granted funds to implement the project “Peace Education for Inclusive Classrooms“ supported by the European Youth Foundation and the Council of Europe.
This project will be a cooperation with the local high school in Dracevo- Skopje “Braka Miladinovci“. Our partners in project are the Theater of Shadows and Clouds.
The project “Peace Education for Inclusive Classrooms“ targets young Macedonian and Albanian students from the rural areas in Skopje-Macedonia and enables them to share a joined collaborative future together instead of being victimized by the divided past.
With recognizing and introducing peace education as a powerful platform of inclusion inside a local multiethnic school in Skopje, the young students, teachers and youth workers will engage into a complex program of activities for empowering dialogue of understanding, encouraging peer empathy and decreasing frustration and aggression from ethnic origin. Through combination of topics for non-violent communication, conflict resolution, gendered and sexualised societies, initiating dialogue through theater, participating in study visits to relevant institutions and organisations that work in this field, the young people will experience the benefits of peace education as a first-hand experience. Moreover, this project includes teachers as relevant actors in the process of creating ethnically inclusive school environment and the teachers from the local school will participate in creating teaching work plans on peace education. The experiences from both the work with the students and the teachers will be published in a Manual for peace education that will give the opportunity to other teachers and youth workers to work with this platform.
In its follow-up phase, the project will address the effectiveness of peace education to relevant institutional actors in the country such as the Bureau of Educational Development and the Municipality of City of Skopje. Through institutional lobbying with best practices from this pilot project, peace education in conflict environments will be considered for future implementation by the state institutions.
The project “Peace Education for Inclusive Classrooms“ is focused on the third youth sector priority on “Inclusive and Peaceful Societies“ set by the European Youth Foundation and Council of Europe. As an organisation that works on educational development we strive to bring inclusion into schools where many conflicts occur and to maintaining peace through education.
Stay tuned for the various project activities starting in October!

British pop star Louis Tomlinson believes becoming a father at such a young age was a ''blessing''.
Louis Tomlinson believes becoming a father was a ''blessing''.
The 25-year-old singer-songwriter has an 18-month-old son called Freddie with his ex-girlfriend Briana Jungwirth and while Louis has admitted the pregnancy was unplanned, he's now thankful that it happened.
He shared: ''I wouldn't have made this decision if someone asked me on the day.
''But thank God that the decision was made for me because it's just a blessing to be this age and to be able to have a child.''
In fact, Louis drew a parallel between his situation and that of his mother Johannah, who died at the age of 43 in December last year.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, the One Direction star explained: ''What I loved about my relationship with my mum - she had me very young when she was 19 - is that it never felt like there was a generation gap.
''I witnessed that with so many of my friends. You know, 'My mum just doesn't get it'.
''Hopefully because of the closeness in age, I will be able to give that to Freddie, too.''
Louis also revealed that his mother's life experiences have helped to prepare him for fatherhood.
He said: ''There are a lot of men for who the idea of having a child is really intimidating but I've grown up around kids.
''My mum was a midwife, so I'd forever be holding kids if she wasn't popping them out herself.
''It took that kind of fear away from me because what I saw in my mum is that all it takes is relentless consideration and love.
''The actual science of it isn't too f*****g hard. Fundamentally it's about being as good as you possibly can.''

The Fresh Prince Reclaiming His Throne? Will Smith Working On New Music
Producer Mars of 1500 Or Nothin (catch them on Game’s The R.E.D. Album) recently say down with XXL to talk about what he’s been working on in the studio. Among the projects he discussed, one rang a huge bell: a possible Will Smith revival!
Mars said: “We’re working on Tip, we’re working on the High School movie with Snoop and Wiz Khalifa. We’re working on Will Smith, bringing him back. That’s actually him on the other line right now.”
Once the breadwinner of the Smith clan, Will’s been taking the backseat in recent times, while wifey Jada makes her return to TV and both Jaden and Willow become stars in their own right.
Can Will make that musical comeback? But more importantly, will you be checking for it? —Keenan Higgins

YOUR OPINION: Political Action Committee Put Brevard Kids First In Favor of New Property Tax To Fund CSC
By Jeff Kiel, Put Brevard Kids First co-chair // January 18, 2019
EDITOR’S NOTE: The following was submitted by Put Brevard Kids First co-chair Jeff Kiel in response to a recent opinion piece by Vic Luebker, an assistant to District 5 Brevard County Commissioner Kristine Isnardi. Put Brevard Kids First is a Florida Political Action Committee (PAC) created with the express purpose to raise funds and run a public education campaign to support funding the Children’s Services Council of Brevard.
As Vic Luebker states in his January 13th column, there is no question there is a great need in our community for services to help children.
BPS has reported the number of homeless children is on the rise, as are the number qualifying for free and reduced lunches; After a tragic school year when 7 BPS students committed suicide and then the devastating Parkland massacre, outcry is growing over the lack of services available to children in crisis.
Families across Brevard experience long waitlists or must drive long distances to access basic behavioral and mental health services for their children.
However, Mr. Luebker and his boss Commissioner Isnardi take issue with the independent taxing district known as a Children’s Services Council, as outlined by Statute 125.901 of Florida Law.
Florida Law allows counties to form either a dependent council, that reports to the county commission and is funded from the general fund tax revenues, or an independent council, where voters of a county must directly approve an ad valorem tax to be overseen by the independent council.
In 1990, the Brevard County Commission decided Brevard would operate with independent model, County Ordinance 90-41 and in 1992 the newly formed Children’s Services Council of Brevard went before voters to seek funding. The measure failed, and the council has been unfunded ever since.
However, as non-profits struggle to meet the growing demands of Brevard’s booming population, and as research shows Florida ranks 43 in the nation for children having access to care, many local child advocates believe it is time the county again consider investing in supporting and expanding services available to children here in Brevard.
Mr. Luebker’s statement that “Taxpayers are not, and should never be, the funding arm of charity,” is naive about the role many successful public-private partnerships play throughout our community.
There is a vast network of service providers that rely on state and federal grants and program funding to provide educational, medical, therapeutical and behavioral services to children. Their non-profit status allows private philanthropy to work hand in hand with government agencies to ensure the needs of local communities are being met.
Unfortunately, many of these providers are struggling to secure enough funding from private donors, state and federal budgets to meet the growing demands of our booming population.
While other counties support these efforts with dedicated funds – from either a dependent or independent Children’s Services Council – the Brevard County Commission is simply not at the table, contributing to the growing need.
Commissioner Isnardi has proposed completely dissolving the CSC without providing any plan or proposal to address the root issue: the growing gaps in services available to Brevard children.
While there is no disagreement that animal services are vital, what are parents to think when they see the County spending over $3,000,000 a year to fund animal services, but refuse to allow voters to even consider authorizing funding for the Children’s Services Council?
The two issues run parallel. Vibrant non-profits do a wonderful job of trying to help control the pet population, but it is in the interest of all residents that the County ensure services available meet the demand. Hence, dedicating millions of dollars a year to supplement and work in conjunction with existing non-profit network of providers.
That is exactly what child-welfare advocates are asking the County Commission and voters to recognize. Demand is surpassing the current capacity of local non-profits to provide services to Brevard children.
Just as all Brevard residents benefit from safe and effective animal control services, all Brevard residents benefit when we ensure children can grow up safe, healthy and ready to be productive members of society.
So if the Commission does indeed move forward with Commissioner Isnardi’s proposal to dissolve the CSC, what then is their plan to ensure that services for children in Brevard meet the demand?

California lawmakers continue to fine tune a plan to require Gardasil vaccinations against human papillomavirus, which is transmitted by sexual contact, for all pre-teen girls in both private and public schools in the state, worrying many parents due to California’s reputation as a leader in such decisions.
Assembly Bill 16, which would mandate injections of the Merck & Co. vaccine to protect against the sexually transmitted disease, remains under review at the Senate committee level, having been endorsed by both the Health and Education committees following its approval in the state Assembly.
As WND has reported, the effort to make the vaccine mandatory has been sweeping through state legislatures across the nation, largely pushed by women lawmakers who are part of the Women in Government organization, to which Merck contributed financially.
The campaign has been so widespread the National Conference of State Legislatures set up a special website just to track and update the various campaigns.
In California, Karen England, executive director of Capital Resource Institute, said the plan just isn’t right.
“It is terribly disappointing that the state assembly decided to force a dangerous, inadequately tested STD vaccine on 11 year-old girls,” she said.
Parents of autistic children also criticize the measure, citing studies that indicate childhood vaccination may be a contributing factor causing the debilitating disease.
WND also has reported that the Merck vaccine has been tied to three deaths, and more than 1,600 adverse reactions.
Since AB16 was introduced last year it has gone through several iterations, as amendments were added and dropped, mostly due to opposition from advocates of parental rights.
The latest version requires parents to be notified of opt-out rights, broadened the scope of the vaccine to include all federally required immunizations, and introduced a provision for all vaccines to be on the market at least five years prior to being considered for classification as “mandatory vaccines.” Previously, the bill did not require schools to notify parents of the vaccinations at all.
The changes have been enough to cause conservative public policy organization California Family Council to change its opinion of the bill: from negative to neutral. Now, the organization calls the bill “vastly improved, though not perfect” since “the best bills would always place children under the authority of their parents or guardian.”
Monetary costs are also significant – adding Gardasil to the list of required vaccines would make taxpayers contribute an extra $90 million to administer the vaccine to all Californian pre-teen girls.
Around the rest of the nation already, several states have adopted interim measures, such as making funding available for non-mandatory injections already. In Texas, Gov. Rick Perry made Gardasil a mandatory vaccination by executive order over the protests of the Texas State Legislature, which later overturned the order.
WND also reported earlier a researcher who worked on a vaccine for HPV is warning it hasn’t been tested on young girls, is “silly” for states to mandate, and in a worst-case scenario even could increase cervical cancer rates.
Researcher Diane M. Harper said giving such a vaccine to 11-year-olds “is a great big public health experiment.”
The target of the vaccine is cervical cancer, since studies show that those who have HPV have a higher chance of later developing cervical cancer. However, opponents note that such cancers develop most often in older women, while the plan is to require girls as young as 11 or 12 years old to be inoculated. They cite the lack of evidence that the vaccine would have an impact later in life.
They also question the imposition of a vaccine against a condition that is spread only by sexual contact.
Merck’s vaccine was approved last year by the Food and Drug Administration, but a doctor at the Centers for Disease Control’s advisory committee on immunizations has reported that while the vaccine may be helpful, it should not be mandatory.
Officials with the Abstinence Clearinghouse noted in a position paper that groups including the Texas Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, and the American Academy of Environmental Medicine have come out publicly against mandatory vaccination.
“The reasoning of these medical associations is clear. They are not opposed to medical progress, and certainly support all efforts to combat life-threatening diseases. The problem, as these organizations see it, lies in the fact that the drug only went through three and a half years of testing, leaving the medical community somewhat in the dark as to what serious adverse effects might result in the long term,” the group said.
“Along with the potential of serious adverse effects is the question of efficacy. There is evidence that after approximately four years, the vaccine’s potency significantly declines. The long-term value of the vaccine has yet to be determined; if it wears off within six years, will girls and women need to repeat the battery of injections they originally received?” the organization wondered.
“It is negligent to require any person, especially a child, to receive a treatment which might in the future prove to be dangerous,” the group said. “It is pertinent to note that by mandating a vaccine, the state assumes all liability. If it causes harm to patients, to whatever extent, Merck is immune to legal retribution. No state ought to be so ethically or fiscally irresponsible as to mandate this vaccine.”
Leslee Unruh, chief of the Abstinence Clearinghouse, told WND her organization’s research shows that such vaccines actually can increase cervical cancer rates, because women believe they are “protected” by the vaccine, and fail to follow up with their physicians for routine exams.
Michigan was the first state to introduce a plan to require the vaccine to be given to young girls, but the proposal failed. Ohio also considered a failed plan in 2006.
Then in 2007, after Merck’s aggressive lobbying campaign and contributions to WIG, lawmakers in at least 39 states and the District of Columbia worked on sponsoring such plans.
The Merck campaign’s results so far include New Hampshire and South Dakota, which have announced they will provide the vaccine on a voluntary basis, and Virginia’s requirement for the vaccine, although that was heavily marked up with exceptions.
The NCSL also confirms that Colorado also set up a fund to provide the vaccine, Indiana set up a plan to require the vaccinations and New Mexico is requiring that insurance plans cover the costs. A plan there to require the inoculations was vetoed.
In Maryland a plan to require the vaccine was withdrawn, and a similar proposal was killed Mississippi. Utah has approved an awareness campaign.

By Chung Ah-young
Science fiction (sci-fi) and fantasy novels have had a weak foothold on the Korean literature scene, but recently they have been widening their reach thanks to a slew of rising young authors dedicated to the genres.
The latest publications are drawing attention for their depth of insight into human nature that was believed to be mostly dealt with by pure literature; not to mention creative imagination.
Bae Myung-hoon, a well-known local sci-fi novelist, has released a new collection of short stories, "Hello, Artificial Being" that delve into the question of existence itself. The new book comes one year after his last work "Tower."
Known for his sharp social and humanistic approach, he writes about philosophical questions on life and the existence of human beings through scientific imagination.
The story revolves around a woman who invents a machine that creates "beings" but it doesn't work and she commits suicide. Her former boy friend tries to get the machine to create a "being" but finds no way to make it work. So he sends the machine into space.
However, the emptiness he feels after doing so eats deeply away at his heart. The story indicates that a "being" can be proved only through its absence. Other stories in the book also touch upon the essence of existence.
Bae studied at Seoul National University and debuted with ``Terrorist'' in 2004 after receiving the literary award organized by the university newspaper. The following year, he won the prize with ``Smart D'' in a science technology literary contest. He has written about 50 sci-fi short stories for Webzines and genre magazines.
Rising author Kim Bo-young's new short series collection "Evolving Myth" combines the mythical imagination and paradox of evolution through allegory. The story adopts a unique fantasy style based on historical facts from "Samguksagi" (History of the Three Kingdoms) mixed with the concept of evolution. Set in Goguryeo (37 B.C.-A.D. 668), Makgeun is the son of King Taejo but Taejo's brother seizes the throne and becomes a tyrannical ruler. Makgeun has to avoid him and while wandering around the mountains and rivers finally evolves into a goblin. This story and others, such as "Scripter" and "An Old Man and a Boy" in the same book, extend the horizon of the sci-fi and fantasy genres through diverse themes.
Kim came to the spotlight with "Experience of Touch" in 2002, which earned her recognition for originality of imagination and scientific insights. She has released numerous short stories and essays based on science and fantasy that show a sense of wonder and intense suspense.
Han Cha-hyun's fifth novel "Transformation" addresses the issue of religion and belief. The protagonist, a pastor, travels to space with his wife after accepting an alien's offer to explore the universe outside the earth. He returns alone, leaving his wife who gets caught up by a new religion in the alien world. Due to the bizarre adventure, he faces a crisis that drives him out of his church after being disciplined. While overcoming the crisis, he begins to convert to the new faith. The novel asks whether religious people are going in the right direction and questions the function of religion, specifically within churches.
Also, veteran sci-fi author Lee Do-hyung has published a new work "Mandid" for the first time in 10 years. The three-volume novel is a fantasy dealing with legends and mysteries using various subjects such as a flying saucer, the Bermuda Triangle and Atlantis.
Lee gained his popularity on the Chollian and Hitel networks around 2000. The protagonist adventures to save his kidnapped brother and his friend who is turned into a pig by a spell. He meets wizards in the legendary continent, Atlantis and finds out his father is actually a wizard warrior and gets involved in a huge conspiracy.
"Father's Space Travel," a collection of short stories jointly penned by 10 sci-fi writers, predicts the changes possibly brought by the future development of science and technology.
The recent trend of the sci-fi novels by the slew of young novelists shifts the focus from interest-provoking imagination to mature literature elements by exploring human nature and revealing modern societal ills.
The literary industry hails the trend as a good opportunity to widen diversity and elevate the quality of the genres.


City officials had to purchase the 250 front lights for approximately $6.50 each after a donation fell though.
“We had to make this event happen no matter what,” City of Tucson bike and pedestrian planner Jennifer Donofrio said. “It is really important for cyclists to be safe and visible at night. The city is willing to do whatever it takes.”
Chi Nakano attended the event to get a light for her bike.
“I usually wear a head lamp thing, but oftentimes I forget it,” Nakano said. “Having it on the bicycle helps.”
This year the city moved the event from Third Street and Treat Avenue to the Bike Church at Main and Sixth Street.
We wanted to pick a new location and the bike church is something that is an important part of the bike community,” Donofrio said. “It is a good symbol of bike safety so I thought it would be appropriate.”
Mallory Marks was excited to learn about the free bike lights because her light had stopped working.
“It would turn off if I over went over a bump,” Marks said.

Management of Common Opioid-Induced Adverse Effects JOHN M. SWEGLE, PHARM.D., Mercy Family Medicine Residency Program, Mason City, Iowa CRAIG LOGEMANN, PHARM.D., Urbandale Family Physicians, Urbandale, Iowa Opioid analgesics are useful agents for treating pain of various etiologies; however, adverse effects are potential limita- tions to their use. Strategies to minimize adverse effects of opioids include dose reduction, symptomatic management, opioid rotation, and changing the route of administration. Nausea occurs in approximately 25 percent of patients; pro- phylactic measures may not be required. Patients who do develop nausea will require antiemetic treatment with an anti- psychotic, prokinetic agent, or serotonin antagonist. Understanding the mechanism for opioid-induced nausea will aid in the selection of appropriate agents. Constipation is considered an expected side effect with chronic opioid use. Physi- cians should minimize the development of constipation using prophylactic measures. Monotherapy with stool softeners often is not effective; a stool softener combined with a stimulant laxative is preferred. Sedation and cognitive changes occur with initiation of therapy or dose escalation. Underlying disease states or other centrally acting medications often will compound the opioid’s adverse effects. Minimizing unnecessary medications and judicious use of stimulants and antipsychotics are used to manage the central nervous system side effects. Pruritus may develop, but it is generally not considered an allergic reaction. Antihistamines are the preferred management option should pharmacotherapy treat- ment be required.

Once again, the staff at Mövenpick Bangtao made our stay magical. The food has been fantastic, the rooms amazing and the atmosphere calm and relaxing.
It's the little things that make the difference - remembering from our last trip 3 years ago that we love fresh passion fruit and mango...... and on our first morning what was waiting for us but a full plate. Incredible.
The hotel manger would take the time to speak with us every day, checking that all was well, and that the chocolate fondant (a favourite of my fiancee) was as molten as ever :)
Highly, highly recommend a visit if you are thinking of spending a week in the paradise of Phuket.更多

Finnish defender Atte Ohtamaa scored his first goal of the KHL season on Thursday when Lokomotiv Yaroslavl overthrew Moscow’s Spartak 2-1.
Ohtamaa’s hit was a thumpback, as the national team pack just hit a decisive overtime hit. The entry point received Georgi Ivanov and Artur Kajumov.
Hits were a long wait in the match, as both teams only opened their goal accounts in the final round.
Spartak is one of the teams at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Lokomotiv fourth in a tie with Dinamo Moscow.
The Finns also got points in Ufa, where Salavat Yulayev faced Sibir Novosibirsk. Finnish striker Juuso Puustinen scored 2 – 0 for the visitors Mikael Ruohimaan from the input.
The match eventually dragged on until the winning goal competition. Puustinen and Ruohomaa both got to try the goal, but Ufa-veskari Aleksandr Skrynnik rejected the companies.
Ufa eventually took a 4-3 win Rodion amirovin thanks to the paint.
Puustinen has scored seven goals in ten matches and made two assists. The Finnish striker is in the fourth levels of the KHL paint exchange, among other things Teemu Hartikainen with.
He has scored ten goals at the top Dimitri Caves.
In addition to Puustinen and Ruohomaa, a Finnish goalkeeper also plays in Siberia Harri Säteri and defender Jyrki Jokipakka. In Ufa, on the other hand, there are four Finnish players and a head coach Tomi Lämsä.

For Bentley, the British town of Crewe began manufacturing recently introduced the updated model Bentayga. This was reported by the press service of the brand.
As noted in the Bentley, efficient provision of social distance due to the revision of some Assembly plants has enabled the company to increase its production capacity from 50 to 100%. In turn, the wearing of masks in the plant is mandatory.
It should be emphasized that on the production line Bentayga employs over 100 people, as the car gets 43 stage of production to ensure that product quality will meet the standards of Bentley.
In comparison with the predecessor, the redesigned Bentayga has modified the front part, rear lights, like the Continental GT and the new salon, which appeared to 10.9 inch screen infotainment complex, different steering wheel, door cards and seats.
The engine lineup remained unchanged, but in the first place, will fall on the conveyor model with a V8 engine. Before anyone updated the Bentayga will get European customers. By the way, the delivery of cars planned for the near future.
In addition, recently it was reported that Bentley introduced the 4-seater version of the Bentayga. It is worth saying that the new product developed in the Wake of the success of the previous four-seater model Bentayga, which sales accounted for 20% of the total sales of the cross.

The J34 was the only truly successful turbojet built by Westinghouse. The J34-WE-36 was used on the Douglas F3D-2 “Skynight”, and as an auxiliary power plant on Lockheed’s propeller-driven P2V-6F and PL2V-7 “Neptune” patrol bombers. In 1947, Westinghouse designed the 4,600 lb thrust J46-WE-3 to replace the smaller J34-WE-36. However, when the J46 failed to meet specifications, the J34 was updated as the J34-WE-36A and installed, despite its lower comparative static thrust. The only aircraft powered by the -36 was the F3D-2 “Skynight”, a night fighter used exclusively by the Marine Corps in the Korean War, which destroyed more enemy planes than any other Navy or Marine Corps type in use.
The engine on display was built by the Westinghouse Aviation Gas Turbine Division and was accepted on April 23, 1952. It was acquired in October 1998 on long term loan from the National Museum of the U.S. Marine Corps.

The memory of late Isaac Adaka Boro, regarded as one of the heroes of the Ijaw nation, reverberated as he is being honoured with a symbolic soccer tournament at Isaba Community in Warri South West local government area of Delta state.
The maiden edition of the tournament tagged “Isaac Adaka Boro Super Cup” is being hosted by the Jude Gbaboyor Football Academy, a new entrant into the NationWide League Division Two, which has drawn participation from clubs as Isaba United, Ogbe-Ijoh United, Dream Boys Academy, Odi in Bayelsa state, amongst others.
In a thriller played today (Monday) by Isaba United fc against Ogbe-Ijoh United fc, the spectators were held spell bound by the fireworks and prolific display of raw talents which ended in a 1-1 scoreline at regulation time. Penalty shootout gave Ogbe-Ijoh United fc a deserved two nil victory.
In the second game of the day, Jude Gbaboyor Football Academy( the host) traded tackles against Dream Boys fc based in Odi, the hometown of Isaac Adaka Boro, and was watched by a full capacity crowd at the Isaba Grammar School sports ground. First Half scores stood at 2-1 in favour of Isaba United fc.
At the resumption of hostilities in the second half, Dream Boys fc levelled up scores at the 62nd minutes of play through a defensive lapse which caught the goalkeeper of the homers flat footed. This was followed by many scoring chances missed by Isaba United fc, who put the visitors on edge. Scores stood at 2-2 at regulation time, as penalty shootout was deployed to determine the winner, which eventually stretched into “sudden death” kicks that saw the visiting Dream Boys fc of Odi carry the day.
The enthusiasm generated in the once sleepy coastal community of Isaba has reached a feverish pitch with the inauguration of the Jude Gbaboyor Football Academy barely two months ago. It does look as if a new “religion” has come to town. It is on record that both the young and old, boys and girls from even neighbouring communities have been trooping to the sports complex on daily basis to watch training sessions and competitive matches.
An indigene of Isaba community who spoke to our reporter and gave his name as Lelekumor Angadi described the founder and President of the Academy, Engr. Jude Gbaboyor” as a young man whose vision and passion for the beautiful game has made our community a tourist destination”
