INFORMED CONSENT FOR TREATMENT WITH CJC 1295 and Ipamorelin
I seek the medical services of insert ______________ of ____________________ and their employees
(collectively ______________________ ). I am executing this consent to confirm my discussion with
insert Physician name and my understanding of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to treatment
with CJC 1295 and Ipamorelin. The goal and possible benefits of this therapy are to try and
prevent, reduce or control the dysfunction associated with the aging process, through hormonal
balancing, control of oxidative stress, and other clinically significant therapeutic agents. However,
I understand that this treatment may be viewed by the mainstream medical community as new,
controversial, and unnecessary by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).
Benefits and General Information
CJC 1295 is an analog of the growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) which increases
endogenous growth hormone release. Ipamorelin is a selective ghrelin secretagogue which also
encourages endogenous growth hormone release. Together, these two peptides are synergistic to
increase serum growth hormone levels and thereby increase serum levels of IGF1 and IGFBP3.
2 . Risks
The following are examples of some of the possible specific risks/adverse reactions reported for
therapy that may be prescribed for me. Some of these risks/adverse reactions are for prescription
drugs derived from the official FDA labeling requirements for these drugs. At physiological blood
levels, there are not expected to be any significant risks/adverse reactions as long as full medical
disclosure is achieved from the patient during the total time of therapy.
By signing this form, I understand the possible risks associated with this treatment. For CJC 1295
and Ipamorelin adverse reactions include injection site redness, transient high blood sugar,
development of antibodies to CJC 1295, and water retention. These side effects are dose related
and usually eliminated by adjusting the dosage. This drug should not be used in patients with
I understand that _____________________ will monitor my treatment in an effort to prevent any side
effects, but cannot guarantee that I will not experience any side effects or adverse reactions. I
understand that, as with any health treatment, there is no guarantee I will obtain satisfactory
results through the use of this therapy. I understand the use of this treatment does not preclude
me from using other treatments as well, though I recognize that I should inform any practitioners I
am seeing about the various treatments I am using.
NOTE: DO NOT SIGN THIS FORM UNLESS YOU HAVE READ IT AND FEEL THAT YOU UNDERSTAND IT.
ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE BEFORE SIGNING THIS FORM. DO NOT SIGN THIS FORM IF
YOU HAVE TAKEN MEDICATIONS WHICH MAY IMPAIR YOUR MENTAL ABILITIES OR IF YOU FEEL
RUSHED OR UNDER PRESSURE.
I certify that I have read the foregoing Informed Consent, discussed the issues noted above, had
opportunities to ask questions, and agree and accept all of the terms above.
Patient Name: ________________________________________________________
Patient Signature X_____________________________________ Date:________
If someone other than the patient is signing this form, indicate the name of the person, title, and
authority to sign this form below.
Title/Relationship to Patient: ______________________________
Please provide authority to sign document: _______________________________________
I have explained this Informed Consent and answered all questions, and informed the patient of
the available alternatives and of the potential risks. To the best of my knowledge, the patient has

She is caring ,as she spends time ,explains test result and she is thorough ,I do not mind waiting for her as she spends time with patients ,every office has policies and making follow up appointment to discuss my test result is better than trying to solve things over the phone and dr explain everything to me in person ,I do not mind these office policies it keep everything in order .

If you, like many, are tired of Harambe, you can rest easy knowing that Harambe: The Next Generation, aka Harambe McHarambeface is in fact, not real.
The news of Harambe's reincarnation broke, or rather, was manufactured by a faux news site called The Boston Leader, that claimed China's Jinhua Zoo had held a naming contest for its baby gorilla, and the winning name decided by public online poll was Harambe McHarambeface.
via Boston Leader
The Internet wanted to believe. The marriage of Harambe and Boaty McBoatface memes, packaged in what appeared to be a real news story, caused the fake article to rocket to the top of Reddit's r/UpliftingNews with just under 5,000 upvotes.
This led publications DailyMail, The Metro, and The Mirror to run stories on Harambe McHarambeface, without realizing that the source, The Boston Leader, was a fake site created on September 9, 2016. A fact which becomes more evident when you realize clicking 95% of the links on The Boston Leader site lead to this:
But by this point, it was too late. We had made our decision. We chose to believe Harambe McHarambeface, a non-existant baby monkey created to perpetuate the mock-honor of a real deceased monkey, was real and we were excited about it. Top of Reddit. Published by multiple publications. Trending on Twitter with over 35k tweets.
Harambe McHarambeFace is the greatest thing the internet has ever achieved.-- alex (@humantsnmi) September 13, 2016
This is why I love the internet. Good job, we have a baby monkey named Harambe McHarambeface! :D-- DarthReptile (@MrRepzion) September 13, 2016
Harambe McHarambeface is the greatest Internet accomplishment ever. Good Job everyone. Pack it up, we're going home-- Hammy Buscemi (@Hampton248) September 13, 2016

The Asus ZenScreen MB249C’s unusual design doesn’t come cheap but provides genuinely useful versatility.
Price When Reviewed
Best Prices Today: Asus ZenScreen MB249C
Portable monitors are advertised for travel but, in reality, most never leave the home or office they’re shipped to. Many purchase portable monitors not for their portability but instead their versatility and ease of use. The Asus ZenScreen MB249C leans into this, offering unique benefits alongside a 24-inch screen.
Further reading: See our roundup of the best portable monitors to learn about competing products.
What are the Asus ZenScreen MB249C specs?
Asus ZenScreen MB249C is marketed as “portable” but has a 23.8-inch display. Clearly, portability in this case isn’t about sticking the monitor in a suitcase but instead refers to moving it across a home or corporate office.
Display size: 23.8-inch widescreen
Native resolution: 1920×1080
Panel type: IPS LCD
Refresh rate: 75Hz
Adaptive Sync: Yes, AMD FreeSync
Ports: 1x USB-C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode and 60 watts Power Delivery, 1x HDMI 1.4, 1x 3.5mm audio out
Stand adjustment: Height, swivel, tilt
VESA mount: Yes, 100x100mm
Speakers: Yes, 2x 1-watt
The MB249C’s specifications are otherwise average for a 1080p office display. It does improve on the typical refresh rate of 60Hz, instead delivering up to 75Hz, and provides support for Adaptive Sync.
Asus ZenScreen MB249C design
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Asus’ ZenScreen MB249C is a portable monitor, yet it has a 24-inch display panel, measures 21 inches wide, and weighs over six pounds. So, what gives?
Asus imagines this monitor as a portable display for office and home office use. It may not be suited for travel, but there are still situations where it’s handy to move a display around a space. At home, it could let you have two home office setups without two monitors. In an office, it could be carried to meetings if you need to lead a presentation.
The ZenScreen ships with a stand that clips to the back of a desk instead of sitting on top of it, which makes the ZenScreen MB249C easy to use as a second monitor in any home office setup. The stand is small, yet functional, supporting adjustment for height, tilt, and swivel. It also rotates 90 degrees into portrait orientation.
It also comes with two alternative options to the stand: a folding kickstand and an unusual hanger. The kickstand flips out from the rear of the display to support it, as true of most portable monitor kickstands. The hanger, which Asus calls a “partition mount,” is designed to hang from a half-height cubicle partition and effectively functions as a wall mount, placing the display flush with a cubicle wall. I don’t have a cubicle in my home office, so I wasn’t able to give this option a try.
The MB249C’s design is unusual but clever. It’s a niche, but one that many will appreciate.
Asus ZenScreen MB249C features and menus
The Asus ZenScreen MB249C offers advantages to those who want to tweak the monitor’s settings. It ships with a reasonably capable menu that includes a variety of image mode presets and control over aspects of image quality such as color temperature and skin tone. Interestingly, it also has a “Shadow Boost” which can be used in games to make enemies in dark areas easier to notice.
That’s not to say image quality adjustments are extensive. There’s no gamma adjustment and the color temperature adjustment is slim. Still, many portable monitors only offer brightness and contrast adjustment, so the MB249C is above average.
Connectivity is more mundane. The monitor supports USB-C input through DisplayPort Alternate Mode alongside HDMI 1.4, but that’s it. Given the price, an additional video input would be appreciated. The monitor lacks USB-A, which feels like a missed opportunity—there’s room.
Those looking to connect over USB-C should note the monitor supports up to 60 watts of Power Delivery and, in my testing, will require that to operate solely over USB-C. The monitor will function with a USB-C laptop or desktop that lacks adequate USB Power Delivery when the monitor’s bundled power brick is connected. The power brick is also needed when only the HDMI video input is in use.
The monitor has built-in speakers, but you won’t want to rely on them. Volume is low and the speakers suffer distortion when playing music, movies, or anything more complicated than spoken dialogue and system messages. Weak speakers, though disappointing, are typical for an office monitor.
How is the Asus ZenScreen MB249C SDR image quality?
The Asus ZenScreen MB249C targets office productivity and makes few specific claims about its image quality. That left me with low expectations, which, to my surprise, the monitor easily beat.
Brightness comes in at a respectable 264 nits which, although not amazing, is mid-pack for a portable monitor and quite good for an office productivity monitor. This level of brightness is sufficient for use in any room with moderate light control. It may appear a bit dim near a sunlit window, however.
The monitor delivered a surprise in contrast with a maximum contrast ratio of 1380:1. That’s towards the high end of what I expect from monitors with an IPS display panel and no advanced backlight technology, such as Mini-LED.
Don’t get too excited. The monitor can still struggle with shadow detail, especially when viewing movies that have a dark palette like The Batman. Still, a contrast ratio of 1380:1 is higher than most competitors and it provides a better sense of depth. An alternative like the BenQ GW2785TC will appear flat and one-dimensional by comparison.
Color gamut isn’t bad, either, providing 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut and 81 percent of DCI-P3. This isn’t enough to be considered a “wide gamut” monitor, and not enough for many content creators looking to edit photos or video, but it’s a few percent better than most alternatives. The monitor has enjoyable, vibrant color.
It’s accurate, as well, achieving an average color error that’s just a tad worse than the Asus ProArt PA279CRV, a monitor specifically built for accurate and realistic color performance. The color error is worst in blue hues, which is often true of LED-backlit monitors, but it didn’t jump out in real-world use.
The monitor’s accuracy is further helped by a gamma reading of 2.1, which means that images appear just slightly brighter than they should. Color temperature came in at precisely the preferred target of 6500K, so it’s neither overly warm or too cool. To put it simply, the monitor appears extremely accurate in real-world use and is well suited to office productivity.
Sharpness is a downside, as the display provides only 1080p resolution with a pixel density of roughly 93 pixels per inch. Many office monitors in this price range can hit 4K resolution, which increase pixel density to 163 pixels per inch. It’s a noticeable gap and the Asus ZenScreen MB249C can look pixelated and soft next to 4K alternatives.
On the whole, Asus’ ZenScreen MB249C provides excellent image quality for its intended purpose. It’s bright enough and scores well in contrast, color gamut, and color accuracy, all while avoiding notable problems or pitfalls. The only caveat is resolution, as it’s possible to buy a similar 4K such as the Dell S2721QS for less—however, such alternatives lack the MB249C’s portability.
Asus ZenScreen MB249C HDR image quality
The Asus ZenScreen MB249C doesn’t support HDR. That’s to be expected, as the monitor’s maximum brightness is well below what’s needed for a passable HDR experience. Increasing brightness to levels suitable for HDR also increases power draw, which wouldn’t pair well with the monitor’s USB-C connectivity.
Asus ZenScreen MB249C motion performance
Though meant for productivity, the Asus ZenScreen MB249C offers a slightly improved refresh rate of 75Hz and Adaptive Sync support for smooth frame pacing in games. Adaptive Sync was functional with the monitor connected to an AMD video card. I wasn’t able to test the monitor with Nvidia G-Sync.
Is the Asus ZenScreen MB249c worth it?
The Asus ZenScreen MB249C is an unusual but useful home and office productivity monitor. Its odd design, which pairs a 24-inch screen with several stand options including a kickstand, makes it easy to tote around a house or corporate office. It also provides good image quality with adequate brightness and strong color performance. The $350 price is a bit much for a 1080p monitor and won’t make sense if you have no reason to use its unique features, but it’s not unreasonable. The MB249C is a great choice for a second monitor, too, as it offers multiple ways to mount and orient it alongside your primary monitor.

Description : Some fantasy themed stuff I'm working on, made almost exclusively with DJ4Real's recently uploaded string loops. I tried to give it a buildup, my primary problem being my lack of classical percussion loops to add.
Either way, nice loops DJ4Real!

The controversy began with a tweet, when Ingraham linked to an article from the Daily Wire about how David Hogg, an organizer for March for Our Lives, didn't get into UC Los Angeles, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, or UC Irvine despite his 4.2 GPA.
"It's been kind of annoying having to deal with that", Hogg, who has a 4.2 GPA, told TMZ of the four colleges that denied his application, adding, "we're changing the world", so it's been hard to focus on those rejection letters.
Hogg responded by tweeting a list of companies that advertise on Ingraham's show and encouraging them to yank their ads from her show.
"As a company, we support open dialogue and debate on issues", the statementsaid.
But on Thursday, as several companies announced they would pull ads from Ingraham's program, Ingraham tweeted an apology, stating "On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the fearless victims of Parkland". The Daily Beast reported that online retailer Wayfair has also chose to remove its ads from Ingraham's show. She linked to a story from a conservative news site that described Hogg as a "Gun Rights Provocateur".
Ever since the school shooting, David became a vocal advocate for gun control and reports state that he was attacked by Ingraham on Twitter for the same.
Nutrish, a pet food brand owned by Rachael Ray, said it was "in the process of removing our ads from Laura Ingraham's program".
Hogg tweeted, "Soooo @IngrahamAngle what are your biggest advertisers". "I'm going to go after her advertisers". US celebrity chef Rachael Ray's pet food line Nutrish, travel website TripAdvisor and online home furnishings seller Wayfair Inc all said they were canceling their advertisements.
Ms Ingraham also invited him to appear on her show "for a productive discussion", saying she had previously remarked how "poised he was given the tragedy". "Did you watch the video???" he posted.
This is not the first time a boycott has been brought against Fox News over the incendiary words of one of its hosts.
As much as Fox News will claim to be the embodiment of patriotism and American values, there's only one hero who exemplifies the power of truth, justice, and the American way: Captain America himself.
David told the celebrity gossip website he had been turned away from four colleges in the University of California system.
Judging by ratings, the " Roseanne " reboot was clearly the most popular of the past year's resurrected TV shows. Over 18 million people tuned in for the premiere of the " Roseanne " reboot Tuesday night on ABC .
The White House's military office, the Pentagon and a spokeswoman for Ryan did not immediately respond to requests to comment. Taking money from the current 2018 budget for the wall would require an act of Congress , said a senior Pentagon official.
Shabani, 25, was last seen on security camera around 1:15 p.m. on February 23 near her Hollywood home, police said. She came from Macedonia and had been in Los Angeles less than two years, according to her friends.
It is negative, as 39 investors sold MSFT shares while 1012 reduced holdings. 147 funds opened positions while 670 raised stakes. Joel Isaacson & Limited stated it has 0.45% in Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT). 16,624 are owned by Financial Consulate.
Thursday actually looks spectacular (you might be coming down with patio fever) with a forecast high of 12C and sunny skies. After any early morning precip, Wednesday will feature more clouds than sun... temps will peak near 50.
So in as much as stakeholders are heavily spending on ads, their audience is also responding very well to what they are offering. In addition to this, there’s a wide variety of games which the platform offers to cater for all types of gamers.
Some protesters in Moscow shouted slogans calling for the sacking of Kemerovo's region and for " Russia without Putin". Russian newspapers ran heart-wrenching accounts of children's last minute calls to their parents and relatives.

I have really enjoyed sewing over these last several months. I have sew many simple things including dresses for my girls, skirts, pillow covers for my boys and a Jeep pillow for my hubby. One of my most favorite items though is this cute little baby pillow case dress and diaper cover for a friend. The pillow case dress is using a pattern I found online (versus just a stand rectangle) at Pretty Prudent Pillow Case Dress, then I used a pattern a found on a website I have visited SO much since I started sewing for the diaper cover. It is Made Everyday by Dana diaper cover .
Today I was ready to mail the little outfit so I thought I would use my Cricut to make a cute quick card. I have not done this in a while but it turned out cute even though I did not have a light pink paper for the face :) I sure hope she loves it and her little girl looks adorable in it. I wish I had started sewing many years ago when my girls were small!
Here is the outfit and card:
Here are some of the other projects I have made since I last posted :)
|These are the dresses I made for the Father Daughter Dance that the girls attended with their stepdad :)|
For Valentine's Day I made my hubby a jeep card with an image I bought online from Apex I believe.
I made the girls skirts and we cut out images to iron on their shirts from my Cricut and I cut out Emoji's to put in as a surprise note for their lunch :)
|Easter T shirt dresses (I also made St. Patrick Days ones but no pictures for some reason)|
|Stars Wars fabric Easter basket for a friend's daughter :) Watched a video from The Crafty Gemini for this one. LOVE her.|
|Used my Cricut to cut out some iron on for a onesie and did a quick two fabric with edging baby blanket for a co-workers babyshower|
I made my hubby a cute little Jeep fabric pillow because he loves Jeeps and always steals my little pillow :)
I know this is a lot and is not everything I have created over these last 6+ months but just a snippet of what I have been up to craft wise :) I am hoping with summer and less evening activities I can make some more stuff soon.
Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting!

amounted to about 20,000, while General Lyon's command did not exceed one-quarter of that number.
The Federal loss was 223 killed, 721 wounded and 292 missing; the rebel loss, (McCulloch's report,) 205 killed, 800 wounded, 30 missing; Price's report of Missouri troops,' 156 killed and 517 wounded.
The death of the brav'e General Lyon was universally deplored. Countless were the tributes to his memory, and deep the sorrow when his body was borne homeward, surrounded with military honors. From amid the murky smoke and fearful glare of battle his soul was called home—the flashing eye dimmed—the good right hand unnerved, and the fiery spirit, that scorned danger and hated treason, was quenched forever.
SKETCH OF GENERAL LYON.
Brigadier-General Nathaniel Lyon was born in the State of Connecticut, in the year 1818, and entered the military academy at West Point in 1837, where he graduated four years afterwards with the rank of Second-Lieutenant of the Second Infantry. In February, 1847, he was made First-Lieutenant, and for gallant conduct in the battles of Contreras and Cherubusco, during the following August, was breveted Captain. On the 13th of September he was severely wounded in a most desperate assault, and in June, 1851, was promoted to a captaincy, •which rank he held at the time of the troubles in Kansas. As has been stated, he was in command of the Missouri Volunteers at the capture of Camp Jackson, and was for his well-proven bravery and eminent ability, promoted to the rank which he held at the time of his death. In personal appearance he was about five feet and eight inches in height, his frame wiry and muscular. His hair was long and thick, his whiskers sandy and heavy, and his eyes of a blueish gray. His forehead was high and broad, with a firm expression of the lips, and a countenance that indicated an intellect of no ordinary capacity. He was a strict disciplinarian,- endeared to his soldiers, and universally regretted by the whole country which followed him to the grave with deep and mourn- < ful affection. In his will, made before he started on his last campaign, he left his entire property to the country for which he gave his life.
RETREAT OF THE UNION ARMY.
The Federal troops remained in Springfield until Monday morning, and then started on their retreat towards Rolla, unmolested by the rebels. The enemy entered the town immediately after its evacuation by the Federal forces, having suffered the loss of a large portion of their tents, baggage and camp stores by the attack of Sigel.
Hundreds of the inhabitants of this section were now compelled to leave their homes, and the exiles were seen every day on the roads leading to St. Louis, fleeing for refuge beyond the lines of the insurgents, plundered of everything and destitute, having been forced to abandon their homes and property to save their lives.
The loyal people who remained were favored with proclamations by McCulloch and Price, which abounded in abuse and misrepresentation of the Federal army, and were filled with professions and promises which strikingly contrasted with their administration and conduct.
This calamity was not merely disastrous by its positive loss, but it gave a prestige of success to'the rebel leaders, and afforded an opportunity for them to increase the spirit of rebellion among the people, as well as to nerve themselves to other enterprises. On the 17th, fifteen hundred recruits had assembled in Saline county, and were preparing to join General Price, or to engage in Jocal operations in the surrounding counties. On the 18th, about one thousand men from Chariton county crossed the Missouri at Brunswick, with a large number of horses and wagons, on their march to join Price's division.
The rebels were so much elated with the death of General Lyon and the abandonment of Springfield by the Federal troops, that they became more reckless than ever in their depredations and persecutions of the loyal citizens. In St. Louj^ on the 14th, after the retreat became knownv they became eo bold and defiant that General Fremont proclaimed martial law, and appointed Major J. McKinstry as ProvostMarshal.
On the 20th, a train on the Hannibal and St. Joseph's railroad was fired into, and one soldier killed and flix wounded. The train was immediately stopped, and two of the guerrillas were killed and five captured.
Five days afterwards, on the 25th, Governor Gamble issued a proclamation calling for forty-two thousand volunteers to defend the State, restore peace and subdue the insurrection ; the term of service to be six months, unless sooner discharged.
Kentucky occupies a central position among the' States, and is about four hundred miles in length, by one hundred and.seventy in width at the widest point, where the State stretches from the boundary of Tennessee across to Covington, opposite Cincinnati, on the Ohio river. This river, from the Virginia line, follows a circuitous course along the Kentucky border, a distance of six hundred and thirty-seven miles, until it flows into the Mississippi at Cairo. The Cumberland and Tennessee rivers pass through the western part of the State, as jthey approach their confluence with the Ohio. Big Sandy river, two hundred and fifty miles in length, forms for a considerable distance the boundary between Kentucky and Virginia. The Kentucky river rises in the Cumberland Mountains and falls into the Ohio river fifty miles above Louisville. These geographical facts are necessary to a perfect understanding of the struggles in that State, and are worthy of remembrance.
When the President of the United States, on the 15th of April, 1861, issued his proclamation, in which the Governors of the States that had not already committed themselves to the cause of secession, were called upon to furnish their quota of seventy-five thousand men for the national defence, Beriah Magoffin, Governor of Kentucky, replied by saying, that, "Kentucky will furnish no troops for the wicked purpose of subduing her sister States."
This act was looked upon with both sorrow and surprise by the loyal people of that State, and was hailed with delight by the Confederate Government at Montgomery. The rebel Secretary of War congratulated Governor Magoffin on his "patriotic" response, informed him that Virginia needed aid, and requested him to send forward a regiment of infantry without delay to Harper's Ferry. Though sympathizing with the enemies of the Union, Governor Magoffin wan not prepared to Bet at defiance the wishes of 4he people of Kentucky, and commit himself unqualifiedly to the work of overthrowing the Federal Government.
Many of the prominent men of Kentucky, including a large number of the wealthy citizens, were zealous in the promotion of tho secession interests. The most indefatigable efforts were made by them to force the State into the ranks of the revolted States, and thousands of her young men were induced to enlist, and encamp on the adjoining borders of Tennessee, waiting for the hour when they could sweep Kentucky with the rush of armed battalions, and overwhelm her peace and pros-, perity with the clash of arms, and the thunders of artillery. The loyal sentiment was, however, in the ascendant, although it was subdued and overawed to a considerable extent. Between the two forces, therefore, it was deemed expedient by her rulers that Kentucky should hold a neutral position, and not ally herself with either the Federal or the Confederate interest.
To render this neutrality more certain, on the 8th of June, General S. B. Buckner, then the acknowledged commander of the State militia, entered into negotiations with General McClellan, at Cincinnati, the terms of which stipulated that Kentucky should protect the United States property, and enforce all the United States laws within her limits—that her neutrality should be respected by the Federal army, even though the Southern forces should occupy her soil; " but in the latter case General McClellan should call upon the authorities of the State to remove the said Southern forces from her territory;" if the State were unable to accomplish this, then the Federal forces might be called in.
This negative position was found, however, to be one of positive advantage and aid to the traitors. They desired to secure a "masterly inactivity" on the part of loyal men, of which they might avail themselves by secret organizations. Taking advantage of this confesses neutrality, large numbers of the young men of Kentucky were enticed into Buckner's camp; while bodies of men from Tennessee were thrown into several localities in the southern and western portions of the State, and boldly avowed their determination to march on Frankfort, the capital, and revolutionize the State. Home Guards were organized by the loyal men, and it became apparent, that if the tide were not resisted by active measures, there was no security for Kentucky.
The election for members of the Legislature, however, early in August, the result of which showed an overwhelming majority in favor of the Union, signed the death-warrant of neutrality, and thenceforth Kentucky 'was regarded as loyal to the Union. The Legislature assembled at Frankfort on the 5th of September, ordered the United States flag to be hoisted on the cou>"t-house, and proceeded to adopt various measures calculated to promote the Union cause in the State.

Mercedes unveils the F1 W05
Mercedes AMG Petronas unveiled the F1 W05 at Jerez today. Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton took the wraps off just before the start of the official winter testing. This new car marks an historic milestone in a landmark year when Mercedes-Benz celebrates 120 years of Motorsport and the 80th anniversary of the Silver Arrows.
The F1 W05 completed the first shakedown at Silverstone with Nico Rosberg during a filming day last Friday.
It looks just fantastic, so aggressive but full of really nice details as well. I am excited to find out how the new Power Unit feels to drive, to hear how it sounds from the cockpit and to compare the job we have done relative to the competition. I think this is probably the season with the most unknowns that I have faced in my career and that´s just so exciting for all of us. – said Lewis Hamilton.

A new CDC assessment has been published that found fully vaccinated adults 65 and older are 94 percent less likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19. The CDC says that both mRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna that are authorized and recommended in the US have been shown to protect against COVID-19 related hospitalizations among adults 65 and older.
The CDC found that fully vaccinated adults in that age range are 94 percent less likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than people of the same age who weren’t vaccinated. In the population 65 and older who were partially vaccinated, that group was 64 percent less likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than those who were not vaccinated. CDC considers people partially vaccinated two weeks after the first dose of vaccine and fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose.
These are the first real-world findings published in the US that confirm clinical trial data showing mRNA vaccines can prevent severe COVID-19 illness. The CDC says the findings provide support for its recommendation for vaccination among citizens 65 and older. CDC director Rochelle P. Walensky said that the findings are encouraging and welcome news for two-thirds of people 65 and over who were fully vaccinated.
Walensky said that COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective, and the real-world findings confirm benefits seen in clinical trials and prevent hospitalizations among the most vulnerable population. The director also notes that the findings are promising for communities and hospitals around the country as the vaccination efforts continue to expand. Effective vaccines mean COVID-19 patients won’t overwhelm the healthcare system preventing people suffering from other conditions from being treated, according to the CDC.
The CDC assessment looked at hospitalizations in two US hospital networks covering 24 hospitals across 14 states. Vaccine effectiveness was assessed by comparing the odds of COVID-19 vaccination among hospitalized people that tested positive for the virus causing COVID. There were 417 participants in the assessment, 187 case patients, and 230 controls, with roughly half the patients over 75 years old.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I find both comfort and uneasiness in that phrase. The way we move, communicate and perform simple tasks have gone through a metamorphosis throughout the decades. These advances are due to technology, environment, and the natural evolution of everything under the sun.
The writing industry has been flipped upside down as we propel forward into the digital age. People rarely get their news, scores, and updates from television, magazines, and newspapers like they did 15 years ago. The way things have taken shape—phones, tablets, and apps are the wave and everything else is slowly falling by the wayside.
Last Friday, Philadelphia was slammed with a winter storm, as rain, snow, high winds, and ice bombarded the city. Things were pretty hectic in my world to say the least, so I decided not to cover the game. This column doesn’t write itself, so I had some work to do. On Sunday afternoon I thought about who I could interview. I quickly decided on Dwight Howard, who was one of the people I was going to catch up with at the game.
Howard and I go back several years, as he has always been gracious with his time and availability. Outside of seeing him once a year, the only way I can contact him is through Snapchat. So that’s what I did.
I sent him a message, and let him know that I was writing a story, and I wanted to ask a few questions. Over the next 30-minutes or so, our conversation ranged from his favorite athlete growing up, to the 2008 summer games.
I didn’t make it to the game on Friday, I had a lot going on, plus the snow…I’m writing a story, can you answer a few questions?
I know man, I was looking for you.
Appreciate that man, always good to catch up. My first question is, when did you know that you could play in the NBA? Was there a moment, or specific game?
When I was 10 [years old]…I was playing with the high school guys, and I dominated them.
Man, that’s crazy. Who was your favorite athlete then?
Wilt Chamberlain. I had this talking robot and it always said Wilt Chamberlain, so I just did as much research on him as possible. I felt like I was him growing up.
That makes perfect sense because you’re always talking to Sonny Hill when you come to Philly.
Sonny [Hill] is the closest thing to Wilt [Chamberlain]. I would probably get starstruck over meeting Wilt, but never for anyone else.
You were a high school McDonald’s All-American, what was that experience like for you?
That was a great experience—you know, to be able to win the award during the game…MVP, but also the Naismith Award and all the awards that came withit was a great honor. I just remember having fun with all the guys. Candace Parker was there and some of the young ladies, I still have a connection to, to this day. It was a big honor and I’m happy to see how far the game has come…the atmosphere is crazy, and just watching those guys grow is great.
What was the recruiting process like for you, before you decided to go straight to the NBA?
It was crazy. It was unbelievable. I was getting literally, big bins of mail on a daily basis, you know. It’s an honor. Every piece of mail that I got, I was thankful. I said, “Thank you, Jesus,” for this moment. It was so much mail, so much, so many coaches calling and stuff like that, and coming to the games, and coming to our workouts…it was just a crazy experience, and I wish that all kids get an opportunity to feel that kind of love from an organization, or college, while they’re in that recruiting phase.
What school would you have gone to had you not entered the draft?
Everybody always asks me that, and I would probably go with UNC [University of North Carolina]. My dream was to always come out of high school and go to the NBA so that was always my plan, but if I would have had to go to college I probably would have went to UNC.
You played on the “Redeem Team” in the 2008 summer games, what was that experience like for you?
All of us were always together everyday: going to the gym, and then to McDonald’s—that was the biggest thing, that was the highlight of the day. After a hard day at practice we would go to McDonald’s and chill. That whole experience just brought us closer. It was just all about basketball. It was about life and developing friendships that last forever. I think me and Carlos [Boozer], and Chris Bosh really bonded. We talk a lot everyday, we’re always emailing each other, and checking up on one another and we need that. We have people going through the same stuff we’re going through and it makes it a lot better.
I always wanted to ask you what was it like at the time being the only adidas guy on Team USA?
You held it down for adidas.
I was a little bit upset because I was the only one with adidas on, and you know Nike…I love Nike though, [but] they didn’t want to put your boy nowhere. They tried to cover my feet up.
Yeah, I remember they hid your shoes in the team picture.
Yeah! It’s all good though. We won the gold and that’s what the experience was all about, winning the gold for our country and getting USA Basketball back to being No. 1.


energy storage system Solution
ESS can be used in conjunction with renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power to provide a stable and reliable source of electricity. It can also be used to reduce peak demand on the electrical grid, provide backup power during outages, and improve the overall efficiency of the energy system.
HIGH VOLTAGE DC CONTACTORS
High voltage DC relays are used in energy storage systems (ESS) to control the flow of high voltage DC power. They act as switches to connect or disconnect the energy storage system from the DC power source or load. This helps to protect the system from overloading and ensures efficient energy transfer.
HIGH VOLTAGE DC FUSE
The role of high-voltage DC fuses in energy storage systems is to protect the system from the effects of overcurrent and short circuits. Energy storage systems typically include battery packs, chargers, inverters, and electrical loads. The current transferred between these components must be controlled and protected, otherwise it may cause fires, explosions, or electrical failures. High-voltage DC fuses are a safety device that can quickly cut off the circuit in case of overcurrent or short circuit, preventing fires or equipment damage. They are used together with other power protection devices such as circuit breakers, fuses, or relays to ensure the long-term reliability and safety of the system.


Ghanaian actress and model Efia Odo has jabbed her critics on Twitter as they have also criticized her for the kind of life she lives on social media.
Efia Odo is a model and it’s obvious as a model she would have to show some flesh when it’s necessary because there are some costumes which demands that and that’s what some Ghanaians don’t understand.
On her Twitter page, she stated that those judging her have gays in their family but because they are afraid to be judged, they will rather do it in secret.
She added that Ghanaians should stop judging people and allow them live their lives in peace. After all everything in this world was created by God, good and bad.
“A lot of y’all have gay family members that are afraid to come out and live their life because they will be judged so they’ll rather do it in secret. let people live their own lives! Everything in this world was created by God, good bad and “devil” all comes from the creator” she angrily warned on Twitter.

Hot temperatures are impacting rice farmers
Some farmers and agriculture experts say scorching temperatures and drought are causing a strain on rice production.
Some farmers in Vermilion Parish are feeling the heat and the pinch from hot temperatures.
Christian Richard, Owner of Richard Farms said it hasn’t rained in nearly three months and Mother Nature is costing him a pretty penny.
“We’ve had water wells pumping that haven’t stopped pumping for two and a half, three months,” Richard said. “So, when we drain the fields, we were able to have a good harvest, a dry harvest.”
Richard said the weather right now is nothing like it was last year, so he has to come up with solutions to combat the drought.
“We were able to battle all of the mud or the elements and it’s totally opposite of what happened last year during the rice harvest,” Richard said. “It rained every, day, but now, we’re back to flooding the fields again to try and make the second crop [of rice].”
Michael Deliberto, Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics & Agribusiness said rice requires a certain amount of moisture in order to grow abundantly.
“A cool, seed bed with adequate soil moisture will let that seed get in the ground and have successful germination,” Deliberto said. “But, having enough residual moisture left in the soil so it can establish a good root for the plant to develop, throughout the growing season [is ideal].”
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), heat stress can be harmful to the quality of rice production.
The NIH reports water supply, crop transpiration and soil moisture all impact humidity levels.
If the drought across the state continues, Richard said consumers may be spending more money on rice over the next few months.

Get your Miami Dolphins tickets from Tickets For Less. View the Miami Dolphins upcoming schedule and the best seats available today. Find all Miami Dolphins tickets now and make memories for life.
The Miami Dolphins are based in Miami, Florida and play inside Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. The Dolphins were established in 1965 and played their first season in 1966 as members of the American Football League. After four seasons, the Dolphins joined the American Football Conference (AFC) as a full member of the National Football League as a result of the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
The Dolphins have a rich tradition in the NFL, with the team making three consecutive Super Bowl appearances in the early 1970s. The team made their first Super Bowl appearance in 1971, falling to the Cowboys. The following season, the Dolphins completed the only perfect season in NFL history. The team finished 14-0 in the regular season and won all three of their playoff games, including a victory in Super Bowl VII. The Dolphins would once again bring home a championship in 1973, winning Super Bowl VIII.
The Miami Dolphins would make the playoffs three more times in the 1970s and then make five more playoff appearances in the 1980s. The team made seven playoff appearances in the 1990s but have made the playoffs just four times since the turn of the century.
The Dolphins of the 1970s and 1980s were feared all over the league, and a lot of that fear stemmed from legendary head coach Don Shula. Shula coached the Dolphins from 1970-1995, coming over from the Baltimore Colts (1963-69). Shula had just two seasons in which his teams did not have a winning record, and he led the Dolphins to five Super Bowl appearances.
Despite not winning a Super Bowl, one of the most prolific players of the Shula era was quarterback Dan Marino. Marino threw for 5,084 yards and 48 touchdowns in 1984, but the Dolphins fell in his lone appearance in the Super Bowl. Marino went on to have a Hall of Fame career, passing for more than 61,000 yards and 420 touchdowns. When he retired, Marino held more than 40 single season and career passing records.
After drafting quarterback Tua Tagavailoa in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Dolphins are looking to build around him and create a playoff worthy team. With offseason additions such as Jaylen Waddle and Jason McCourty, the Dolphins are headed in the right direction during their rebuild.

text: In this paper we report the use of Fraunhofer Line Radiometry and the Fraunhofer Line Depth (FLD) method to measure the passive fluorescence of select, high quantum yield (> 0.7) fluorophores. The measurements we describe involved direct solar illumination of both a non-fluorescent standard material (NIST, Spectralon), and the fluorescent target materials (in solution) within several relevant Fraunhofer lines: 486 nm (H-beta), 518 nm (Mg), 589 nm (Na), and 656 nm (H-alpha). Of the selected labels, Rhodamine B demonstrated the highest fluorescence coefficient of 2.2, at 589 nm, and possessed a fluorescence intensity of 1.1 × 106 cps at an optical density of 1.0. These results show fluorescent labels can be selectively measured and observed passively in relevant Fraunhofer lines. The implications for such findings indicate the potential daytime measurement of environmental labels and probes as a promising sensing technology.

Last year and this year have illuminated the under-appreciated heroism of medical professionals. Thus it gives me great personal joy to suggest these six romance audios with characters or themes from the medical field. Perhaps their happy endings will provide listeners a little hope and a lot of gratitude for the workers who have gone beyond their oath of “do no harm” to actively ministering, comforting, and saving lives.
Shaun Taylor-Corbett shares his thoughts on narrating THE BRAVE, James Bird’s moving audiobook for young listeners, in this video. Twelve-year-old Collin has a form of OCD—he calls out the number of letters in all the words in a conversation. Eventually, his exasperated, distant father sends him from California to his Ojibwe mother (whom he’s never met) on a Minnesota reservation.
“You see an example in this book of how to walk in the world when you’re a young person and how to find your way, with family members who just have your back and love you.”—Narrator Shaun Taylor-Corbett
On December 12, 2020, spy thriller master John le Carré (actually the pen name for David Cornwell) passed away from pneumonia at the age of eighty-nine. After a year of daily announcements of thousands of deaths, the numbers always rising in incomprehensible ways, John le Carré’s passing caused me to pause, perhaps because I had recently listened to AGENT RUNNING IN THE FIELD, which le Carré narrated himself. While many nonfiction authors narrate their own works, it is less frequent for mystery-thriller writers to do so. But le Carré was a skilled narrator—he won Earphones Awards for narrating several of his spy novels, including A LEGACY OF SPIES and A DELICATE TRUTH, as well as his memoir, THE PIGEON TUNNEL. With le Carré’s audiobooks, listeners have the privilege of hearing his stories told by the master himself. Read more…
In his video, narrator Amir Abdullah shares why he connected with Ian K. Smith’s new mystery audiobook set in Chicago. In THE UNSPOKEN, Abdullah depicts Chicago’s wealthy enclaves, struggling neighborhoods, and mouthwatering foods while introducing Ashe Cayne, a private investigator who takes on a missing persons case.
“I had spent the last year and a half in Chicago working . . . the sights, the sounds, the tastes of Chicago, and knowing what that was like, it was really exciting to be able to bring that to life.—Narrator Amir Abdullah
Feel like escaping the confines of your second pandemic-winter without actually going anywhere until you can receive a vaccine? Me too. That’s why I’ve selected six new out-of-this-world audiobooks to take us far away in space and time while we wait for our jabs. Read more…

Where can you attend a conference keynoted by architect Rem Koolhaas, sample locally brewed kombucha under a colorful canopy, take a flashlight tour of metal plates engraved by Italian masters, see Chinatown by bike, check out a new mural by Mary Heilmann, and leave with a rooftop garden ready for planting? The Festival of Ideas for the New City, a collaborative initiative announced today by the New Museum of Contemporary Art and the hundreds of downtown New York organizations that have signed on to participate.
“Three years ago, when we moved to the Bowery, we witnessed a dramatic transformation of this neighborhood,” said New Museum director Lisa Phillips at a press briefing held this morning at the institution’s SANAA-designed home (which somehow manages to look even cooler beneath a steady drizzle). Conversations between Museum staffers and neighboring organizations including the Architectural League, the Cooper Union, the Drawing Center, and Storefront for Art and Architecture soon developed into the two-year planning process for a festival that would, according to Phillips, “harness the power of the creative community to reimagine the city.”
Artists, writers, architects, engineers, designers, urban farmers, and the public are invited to take part in the free festival, which will run from May 4 through May 8 in locations around downtown Manhattan. Things kick off with a three-day slate of symposia, lectures, and workshops exploring “big ideas that change the course of a city.” In addition to Koolhaas, the organizers have secured computer scientist Jaron Lanier and Antanas Mockus, a former mayor of Bogotá, Columbia, to give keynote addresses. Other panelists include architect Elizabeth Diller, Urban Genome Project founder Pedro Reyes, and Pennsylvania politician John Fetterman, who was recently dubbed “Mayor of Rust” by The New York Times Magazine. “Interestingly enough, he’ll be driving here, which I think is kind of great,” said New Museum curator Richard Flood at today’s press briefing.
Save Saturday, May 7 for the “innovative, minimal-waste” outdoor StreetFest, which will take place along the Bowery. “This is not a street fair for tube socks and sandwiches,” said Bob Holman, founder of the Bowery Potery Club. Expect local organizations presenting their wares, urban farmers offering cooking demos beneath innovative tented modules, exciting eats, and “outdoor living rooms.” Finally, the entire weekend will be a showcase for approximately 100 independent projects, exhibitions, and performances all over downtown. A few that caught our eye: the Art Production Fund, in partnership with Sotheby’s, will brighten up the dingy rolling gates of local businesses with murals by the likes of Glenn Ligon and Lawrence Weiner, artist Paul Villinski will welcome visitors to his Gulfstream trailer-turned-solar-powered mobile art studio, and Mott Street’s Church of the Transfiguration will host an all-night Pecha Kucha with a creative urban theme. Holman summed it up nicely: “It sounds like a party to me.”

Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch will be awarded an honorary degree at Duke University next month.
Lynch, who was born in Greensboro and grew up in Durham, will return to her hometown for commencement at Duke on May 7. She is one of seven honorary degree recipients, Duke announced Monday. The others are: Clayton Christensen, a professor of business administration at the Harvard Business School; George Church, a geneticist, molecular engineer and chemist; Deborah Lee James, former secretary of the Air Force; Stanley Nelson, documentarian; Marilynne Robinson, novelist and essayist, and Luis von Ahn, a computer scientist and entrepreneur.
Lynch served from 2015 to 2017 as the 83rd attorney general, the first African-American woman to serve in that role. She graduated from Durham High School, and her parents still live in Durham. Lynch, who will also speak at Duke Law School’s hooding ceremony during commencement weekend, previously served two separate stints as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York. While in private practice, she performed extensive pro bono work for the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
She was outspoken last year when the U.S. Justice Department sued North Carolina over HB2, the law that forbid local anti-discrimination protections for LGBT people and required people to use bathrooms that matched the gender on their birth certificates. Last week, a repeal compromise was reached on the controversial law.

K-Force WE makes its own history at La Vuelta!
Full Speed Ahead, the fourth electronic road groupsets producer in the world, has just debuted with its electronic-wireless K-Force WE groupset in a three-week Grand Tour with a historical triumph! The Spaniard rider of BH-Burgos team Angel Madrazo Ruiz, leader of KOM overall, has just claimed a spectacular stage win at the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory after his third long-range attack already in La Vuelta.
His breakaway companions dropped him three times in the gruelling final climb but the Spaniard came back inside the last kilometre to claim the biggest win of his career and the first one for the K-Force WE groupset.
The epic day for Full Speed Ahead has been completed with the second place of the Dutch rider Jetse Bol, racing with a BH G8 Disc Brake bike equipped with the K-Force WE Disc Brake version.
Over the latest years, Full Speed Ahead accepted the challenge and after years of study and development together with pro teams and athletes, the K-Force WE Groupset has just debuted in pro cycling with the combative BH-Burgos team.
An incredible day, already entered in the story of cycling and bike technology. The story about a challenge won.


The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in its latest report notes that while piracy incidents were down compared to the same period in 2016, there is continuing concern over attacks in the Gulf of Guinea among others in particular, Defence Web reports.
A total of 20 reports against all vessel types were received for Nigeria, 16 off the coast of Brass, Bonny and Bayelsa. Guns were reportedly used in 18 incidents, and vessels were underway in 17 of the 20 reports. Thirty-nine of the 49 crew members kidnapped in total occurred off Nigerian waters in seven separate incidents. Other crew kidnappings in 2017 were reported 60 nautical miles off the coast of Nigeria.
“In general, all waters in and off Nigeria remain risky, despite intervention in some cases by the Nigerian Navy. We advise vessels to be vigilant,” said Pottengal Mukundan, head of the IMB. “The number of attacks in the Gulf of Guinea could be even higher as many incidents continue to go unreported.”

Um, Camille?! Let me just start off by saying how much I heart your face! Your patterns and fabric are ever so lovely. I was singing your praises this week as I finished up a quilt using your Hopscotch pattern.
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo in love with this quilt. (I hope all those extra letters convey that.)
The quilt ended up being so thick (with fleece for the back) that the only practical quilting choice was to use a freehand machine-quilting method. Wahoo for swirlies. And yes, it's obvious that I need a stitch regulator. Oh well.
Check out the snuggly fleece. Yum.
By far one of my favorite patterns of all time. As is the case with all of Camille's patterns I've owned, they are delightfully simple and easy to make. Her explanations and diagrams are clear; you need not be a professional to tackle something like this. I admit when I first saw the pattern cover (which boasts of its lack of y-seams), I was thinking, "Y-seams? What the heck are those?!" (and doubly relieved that there wouldn't be any of them). Once I actually examined the pattern, I was happy to see how simple it was--much, much simpler than I ever would have guessed. I am already looking forward to making another in the future!

Things do not get better by leaving your finances alone. In fact, my experience is that the longer you ignore your financial circumstances, the worse things gets.
I’ve personally experienced the stress of financial struggle. I’ve also observed it in people I’ve worked with.
There’s absolutely nothing more grueling than dealing with financial hardship.
On the flip side, I’ve seen the immense relief that comes with finally facing reality and taking charge of your finances.
For women, the consequences of not dealing with our money is compounded in retirement.
By retirement age, the average working female has saved only fifty-nine percent of what her male counterpart has saved, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Which means nearly twice as many retired women live in poverty than men, according to WISER research.
Ladies, it is totally in our control to not become a statistic.
Just remember this:
Financial avoidance = stress.
Making a decision + taking action = financial peace.
So, go ahead, make a committed decision. Then take empowered action. I know you can do it!
You got this!
