Many members of the community are scared to call the police when they are needed, out of fear of having their immigration status scrutinized.
The Safe Communities Act (S.1401 and H.3573) aims to strengthen communities by barring Massachusetts police from questioning resident’s immigration status. It also protects due process, limits Massachusetts’ notifications to ICE, ends contracts redirecting MA state forces to act as federal immigration agents, and provides updated training for law enforcement agencies.

Physiotherapists are experts in improving mobility, motion, and pain-free movement which is crucial to your quality of daily life, your ability to earn a living, your ability to pursue your favourite leisure activities, and so much more. Self-management through completing your home exercise program is a vital part of your recovery and wellness. After an initial thorough assessment of your condition, we will provide you with an exercise program of specific exercises created just for you to help you meet your goals.
Therapeutic exercises are an important part of rehabilitation after injury. These exercises are designed to help restore strength, flexibility, range of motion, and function to the affected area of the body. Here are some ways in which therapeutic exercises can help with rehabilitation:
- Improve circulation and promote healing: Therapeutic exercises can help improve circulation to the injured area, which can speed up the healing process. Increased blood flow can deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissues, which can help them heal more quickly.
- Increase flexibility and range of motion: After an injury, the affected area of the body may become stiff and inflexible. Therapeutic exercises can help improve flexibility and range of motion by stretching and mobilizing the affected tissues.
- Build strength and endurance: Inactivity and immobilization after an injury can cause muscles to weaken and atrophy. Therapeutic exercises can help rebuild strength and endurance in the affected muscles by gradually increasing resistance and intensity.
- Prevent re-injury: Therapeutic exercises can also help prevent re-injury by improving overall strength, flexibility, and stability in the affected area.
- Provide pain relief: Therapeutic exercises can help alleviate pain by reducing inflammation, promoting circulation, and releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
Overall, therapeutic exercises can play a crucial role in the rehabilitation process by improving physical function, reducing pain, and preventing re-injury. However, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any exercise program, especially if you’re recovering from a serious injury or have a pre-existing medical condition.

Apple to release 'blocked mode' to protect iPhone and other devices from hackers
July 7, 2022
Core Tip: Apple Inc (AAPL.US) said on Wednesday local time that it will release a new feature called "Lockdown Mode" as part of the latest operating systems for iPhone, iPad and Mac computers to protect users from Attacked by some hackers.
Apple Inc (AAPL.US) said on Wednesday it will release a new feature called "Lockdown Mode" as part of its latest operating systems for iPhones, iPads and Macs to protect users from certain hacker attack.
The tech giant said in a statement on its website that the move was "an extreme, optional measure of protection for a very small number of users facing serious, targeted threats to digital security."
It is understood that Apple's iPhone devices have been repeatedly hacked by Israel's NSO Group, known primarily for its Pegasus spyware. Apple is currently suing NSO Group, which is currently blacklisted by the US government.
Incoming invitations and service requests (such as FaceTime calls) will be blocked if the iPhone user has not previously sent a call or request to the originator.
Finally, Apple says that when the iPhone is blocked, the wired connection to the computer or accessory is blocked. The tech giant also said that more features will go into lockdown mode over time.
In addition, Apple says it will pay $2 million for every bug found in lockdown mode, which is known as a "bug bounty." The company also said it will allocate $10 million and use all proceeds from the lawsuit against NSO Group to support groups that expose cyberattacks. The money will go to the Dignity and Justice Fund, set up and consulted by the Ford Foundation.
Separately, Apple recently slashed trade-in prices on some iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch versions, and the tech giant is now gearing up for a new product launch later this year.

2019 Season Auditions
March 6th and 10th
To schedule an audition time:
please call Flock Theatre at (860) 443 - 3119 or email at firstname.lastname@example.org.
NEW LONDON, CT - Flock Theatre will be holding auditions for their entire 2019 season on March 6th and 10th at the Thames Club in downtown New London. A selection of the shows to be cast are as follows, but auditionees will also be considered for various other projects.
Pride and Prejudice, adapted by Jon Jory, is a play adaptation of Jane Austen’s Regency era-set romance novel. Pride and Prejudice explores the importance of marrying for love at a time when society is pressuring young women to find profitable suitors. The story follows Mr. Bennet and his five unmarried daughters, focusing specifically on Elizabeth as she and the wealthy Mr. Darcy navigate their attraction. The play will run at the Shaw Mansion in downtown New London from May 10th to May 26th.
This summer, Flock will celebrate their 25th anniversary of Shakespeare and classical theatre in the Connecticut College Arboretum with The Comedy of Errors and Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex. The Comedy of Errors is a hilarious romp involving a pair of twins and their servants, also twins, who had been separated at birth. Upon meeting, a series of mishaps due to constant mistaken identities lead to farcical beatings, seduction, false accusations, and an arrest. The Comedy of Errors is one of Shakespeare’s finest and funniest comedies which everyone can enjoy. Oedipus Rex is Sophocles’ tragic epic detailing the fall of Oedipus, king of Thebes. A plague on the city of Thebes can only be stopped if the murderer of its previous king is found. Oedipus slowly finds out that he has unwittingly fulfilled a dark prophecy, and that he may be the man he is looking for. Both plays will also tour to Wilcox Park in Westerly, RI.
Also being produced this summer is Michael Bradford’s A Song of Bones. A Song of Bones is a play Flock commissioned Bradford to write after learning of the life of an African American soothsayer named Lil the Black who lived in New London, CT during the 1700s. Flock has mounted this play in the past, but new info from a 1790 census regarding northern household slaves is driving Flock to reexamine this piece, hopefully opening the eyes of those who engage with the piece in a way that resonates with contemporary racial struggles.
To schedule an audition slot, please call Flock Theatre at (860) 443 - 3119 or email at email@example.com.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle was launched on Friday from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota. The PSLV-C5, carrying 1360-kg satellite ‘Resourcesat -I’, took off at 1024 hours IST. The launch took place despite heavy downpour, which started around 1000 hours IST at Sriharikota. Since there were no gusty winds, the launch programme was not changed. The PSLV-C5 was on its eighth flight today. ‘Resourcesat -I’ (IRS-P6) is Indian Space Research Organisation’s most sophisticated and the heaviest satellite built so far. Since its first flight in 1993 the payload capability of the PSLV has been progressively improved by more than 600 kgs. About 18 minutes after the lift off, the satellite is scheduled to be injected into a Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO), 817 km above the earth. It was excitement all over the Satish Dhawan Space Centre where the entire ISRO team clapped their hands, cheered and hugged each other as the 44.4 metre tall workhorse weighing 294 tonnes, soared into the skies, leaving behind thick columns of flame and fumes. The satellite will make 14 orbits a day and the life of the mission is five years.
The IRS-P6 carries three cameras with vastly improved spatial resolutions. It also carries a Solid State Recorder with a capacity of 120 giga bits to store the images taken by its cameras which can be read out later to ground stations.


It took a season to get his message across, but, Shuaib Ahmed writes, it’s been smooth sailing for Guardiola at Manchester City this season
Both clubs believed in a short passing game. Both believed in entertaining. And both, above all, believed in winning trophies.
Barcelona and Bayern Munich were separated by tactics. Yet one man was able to instill a philosophy of football that both sides immediately adapted to. The ideology turned Pep Guardiola into the world’s most coveted coach.
He is now pulling off the same trick at Manchester City.
Following the 3-0 win over West Brom, Manchester City have regained their surely insurmountable 15-point gap at the top of the Premier League, and thoughts can turn to the Champions League round of 16 clash with Basel as well as the League Cup final showdown with Arsenal.
Yet half a season into his debut, it had become clear to Guardiola that England was different than Spain and Germany.
Unshakeable in his dedication to his methods, Guardiola ended up placing his credentials on the line, among anxious City supporters as well as the media. Fraud, claimed opposition fans.
One key criticism was the insistence that his defenders and goalkeeper play from the back regardless of the situation, a new way of playing that took time to instill.
His ability to keep calm under duress and stick to the plan is arguably what Manchester City needed, as the club had seen a number of managerial and tactical changes since its fortunes changed in 2008 after Abu Dhabi’s buyout. Despite winning two Premier league titles in three years, inconsistent performances were not uncommon.
In the Spaniard first season, while entertaining Guardiola-esque football was evident, the team was often punished for avoidable overindulgence at the back, particularly from John Stones. It was clear that Manchester City did not yet have a back line completely comfortable with the ball at their feet – something Guardiola did not have trouble with either in Barcelona or Munich.
Yet he persisted and continues to do so, insisting the need to play expansive, entertaining football is no less a priority than winning titles, as he stated in a May ‘17 interview with ESPN Brazil.
“…. the team played, like how we did at Barcelona and Bayern, how I always want my teams to play. It is more important to me than winning a trophy.”
Rejuvenation was in the making by bringing in quality players that are comfortable with the ball at their feet. Just as significant, new goalkeeper Ederson has proved his worth with his pinpoint passing accuracy. What we see today is a Premier League-experienced version of Guardiola intent on proving his methods right, and critics wrong.
Guardiola now has a squad truly his own and, more importantly, a strong defensive lineup he lacked last season. With City missing a leader like Vincent Kompany and the pace and wit of left back Benjamin Mendy, others have shown that they can more than hold their own. Despite the 4-3 loss to Liverpool, defensive mishaps have mostly been consigned to the past.
However, doubts linger that the Premier League can still throw up the odd curveball, and, after all, Guardiola has yet to win a trophy at Manchester City, though a league title is surely just a matter of time.
Will Guardiola, as seems inevitable at this point, end up being a trailblazer, relentlessly driving his team to honours as he did at Barcelona and Bayern? Or will his romanticism eventually prove his undoing in the long term as it did in his final season at Camp Nou?
What is beyond debate is that he has found his rhythm at Manchester City, yet anther club where that players have bought into his methods.
As the season progresses, it is clear that no one can outdo Guardiola except Guardiola himself.

Consciousness and Initial Causation Embodied by Physicalism.
By Richard J.R.Miles.
Although much has been written on embodiment, I have found it necessary to write this straightforward simplistic approach in an attempt to deter who the emeritus professor Peter Hacker refers to as brainsians. They continue to make the mistake in thinking that the brain is the initial causation of thought and action. So much so that they have become deluded by their mind body problem. They will eventually have to realise their error. As there is no apparent reason to involve anything other than physical processes in trying to understand any activity that occurs in humans, including all variations of consciousness. For example, inventing dualism or religious belief, and or pansychism. So why am I so sure? Unlike religious believers or pansychists, which includes many prominent philosophers of mind, psychologists and neuroscientists.
Tracing evolution back literally to its roots, we evolved from trees and plants that could both live in and out of the water. They lived with what I will repeatedly call their needs, deeds and seeds, which of course they still do today, satisfied by their fixed rooted location. From this, life evolved and lived by moving in their environment assisted by the elements, tides and currents. A Jelly fish which is moved around by the environment, could also move like flowers that open and close with light and dark. The Jelly fish could move up and down in its three dimensional world, assisting its functional needs, deeds and seeds. All this without a brain. Also without a brain was the Humped Bladderwort, a carnivorous plant like the Venus flytrap. Capable of catching and digesting things that came too close, and possibly over a billion years ago. The point is that we humans, like it or not, have evolved from these brainless lives. Lives that had evolved complex sensory nervous systems which were capable of reacting to their environment.
A life form with a nervous system that could evolve a brain to assist its movement in carrying out its established needs, deeds and seeds, would be more capable of surviving. Slowly but surely the brain and nervous system evolved to help the body survive. Evolving together as one complex being. At no time did the brain magically evolve to take complete control of the body as brainsians assume that it did.
So that there is no doubting of what I think, I will continue to repeat that the body was and is the driver and the initial causation of the needs, deeds and seeds, (rather than abbreviate it to n.d.a.s. which probably means something else). Without such or which the nervous system and brain would not have evolved at all.
Fairly obviously a mobile life with a brain and the ability to react to its moving environment would naturally be more able to survive than something that could not react. Again at no time during evolution through the Phylum Chordata (Vertebrates) that eventually led to humans, through natural selection did the job of the bodily needs, deeds and seeds become consciously initiated by the brain, as opposed to non-consciously by the body. There is no evidence to suggest that this has occurred or is likely to. So many people seem to have forgotten this or choose to ignore the fact of what has driven their evolution and continues to do so. Instead they think that it is all because of God or the brain. I do not need a belief so I will not bother with the God bit. However I will continue to explain why looking for initial causation from the brain alone is incorrect, although it is true that the brain can affect the bodies health.
So why is looking at the brain for initial causation (or the homunculus) a problem? This is simply because the body is as it has always continued through evolution without interruption, to have the physical systems necessary for survival, which of course are the needs, deeds and seeds. These function autonomically and non-consciously as they have done since life began without a brain. The brain senses the bodily needs when action is required in the environment. The nervous system and brain becomes aware of the needs via the senses. This is when interaction with the bodies somatic system needs to be activated for action in the environment. Ignore it with peril. Especially with drink, food or toilet needs. This vital interaction that the brain does in today’s civilised industrialised world is relatively easy, and most people take it for granted. But of course that has not always been so. Our body evolved for the need to survive by night and day, which for most today is not the problem it was say ten thousand years ago, where survival for most was a continuous 24/7 task to endure.
The mind body problem so called, is only a problem if you look for initial causation from the brain to the body. However not so the other way round. As I have said it is the body causation to the mind or brain is what then allows the brains function, which connects the relevant somatic action or not in the environment. The brains function is amazing and although so much is still unknown, I think it will be possible to fathom with the body/mind approach. As opposed to the usual incorrect mind/body approach, where initial causation from the brain is an immediate non-starter. As a simple example consider thirst. This is obvious but somehow it gets overlooked, that it is the body that causes the brain to sense the need for refreshment. Of course if this sensation is completely ignored death will result. At the other end, if sufficient has been drunk to satisfy the thirst then, the filling bladder will let the brain know through physical sensations that to avoid the inevitable, something needs to be taken care of.
The brain interacts with the body and the environment. Some life forms let the body decide when things need to happen autonomically (Little birdie flying by, dropped a message from the sky, farmer Brown wiped his eye, and said thank goodness cows can’t fly). The evolution of the body and brain can be explained by this approach, and just as physically evolved features are inherited, so too are some physical traits. One of many that has fascinated me is of a domesticated kitten, that when it grows up and does not finish all of its food, it makes an inherited move to cover up its food with pretend stuff before it leaves it. I am sure you can think of other examples with different kinds of life, including babies.
So why do we need consciousness? If you are a David Chalmers zombie then apparently you do not. I cannot see how such a zombie could evolve naturally, other than as a completely pre-programmed robot made from an existing program. This is a clue to understanding how consciousness has gradually evolved, through interaction between the body, brain and the environment. Tracing mature human evolution as opposed to a baby, who is not initially consciously aware of itself, it is possible with my approach of appreciating the importance of the body causation as the driver of needs, deeds and seeds. Then interaction and reaction that results in being conscious can be understood and eventually traced. The physical bodily causation to the brain enables action to occur in the environment. However, without the inherited and taught knowledge in the brain and body (nature nurture) we would not be aware of recognising anything. We have been programmed by our evolved past and what we have learnt. Consciousness is this continuing process of experiencing this interaction between our bodies needs, deeds and seeds plus how we manage them in the environment. We always need to be consciously aware of allowing action to take place. This action may not always be memorable, but never the less active no matter how slight or memorable. This is often overlooked but yes you do need to be conscious to partake in the well known Libet experiment.
Knowledge of physical interaction and reaction with the environment is necessary for the brain and body to be consciously aware of sensing itself. Ready to react and respond as necessary to changes.
Although a newly born baby has not yet mastered physical co-ordination with the environment, it does have evolved knowledge through nature of what it has been given. This will gradually be realised as it grows and matures. But as a baby it is very active with a lot going on when awake in trying to co-ordinate movement with physical mental activity, at a peak also during REM sleep. As a person it will start to realise it has physically inherited some of its parents and ancestors appearance and traits. Referred to by some psychologists as the human givens. These traits which have been so useful in past generations for survival, like cats covering food, become apparent as the individual progresses through life. They are of course driven by our bodies physical needs, deeds and seeds.
A huge amount is unknown about the interaction between the body its senses, the brain with memory and ability. However, I must repeatedly stress that it is the body that allows the senses, that sense the causation for the brain to function. A person who had their adrenal glands removed for a weight gain problem, found that when they had recovered from the operation that they no longer sensed a fear of heights.
Everything about being alive evolved from a body.
For some reason, unbeknown to me, people have found the need to invent the term Dualism which has been around apparently for about four hundred years. For me, like pansychism, it is completely unnecessary, as physicalism provides so many multifarious interacting systems that can function independently of one another, or be integrated, interactive or reactive. We have as humans physical abilities that can do so many different things, non-conscious through to conscious, awake or asleep. Everything we do can or will eventually be explainable through physical activity, from the body to the brain and vice versa. There is no reason to suppose otherwise, unless you need to try and justify an archaic anachronistic belief. A belief in something other than physicalism possibly led dictionary lexicographers to incorrectly describe physical as :- Relating to the body as opposed to the mind. Which wrongly suggests that there is something other than physics that relates to the mind?
A brain without a body that it initially evolved from would not be able to sense or do anything. I hope the ‘body/mind approach’ will end the so called ‘mind/body problem’ and eventually ‘the hard problem of consciousness’. It is time to stop looking for the magical homunculus in the brain, when it is the body that is the initial causation for the brain and body to work as one, with the entire spectrum of non-consciousness, to consciousness and all that may include.

Gone West: Pitts Test Pilot Mel Barron
By James Barron, EAA 205645
As a young man, Barron served with the Army Air Forces during World War II. One of his last assignments before war’s end was to B-29 flight engineer school. Barron flew with the Cleveland Air National Guard after the war, and was later recalled to active duty during the Korean War. Barron flew as an Alaskan bush pilot early on and was based in Kotzebue. Most of his flights were north of the Arctic Circle and were for the purpose of re-supplying mines. He flew singles and twins on skis and floats. He told stories of routinely getting caught in whiteouts and other challenging conditions. Landing sideways on the mountain slopes where the mines were located was also the norm.
Barron spent the majority of his career as a test pilot. He first began that endeavor in Fort Collins, Colorado, with the Silvaire Aircraft Company in the late 1950s where he test flew the last 75 Luscombes produced before they shut their doors due to bankruptcy. Following that he flew for the Colorado Game and Fish Department.
Next, Barron went to work for Piper Aircraft Corporation in the mid ’60s and became their chief experimental test pilot. He flew the test program that certified the Navajo line of aircraft. He ran a test flight program on that aircraft with turbine engines installed which was later to become the Cheyenne series. Barron transferred to Vero Beach, Florida, with Piper and continued production test flying there.
Upon leaving Piper, Barron became the first Pitts factory test pilot. He did both experimental and production test flying. It was called Aerotek then (1972) and Curtiss Pitts was a partner. He spent 14 years with them and loved “wringing” out the Pitts biplanes. He was a designated engineering representative and signed off on numerous modifications to the Pitts over the years. Barron’s last experimental test flight project with Pitts was flying the test flight certification program on the Husky.Barron was a diehard aerobatic pilot and owned a 1932 Great Lakes Special for 20 years after which time he donated it to the Antique Air Power Museum. It had its own unique story as it was once owned by legend Frank Price and flown by other notables of the time. He also took pleasure in flying gliders and earned two two-lennie pins for flights to 35,000 feet in mountain wave. Some other aircraft he owned over the years were a Bird biplane, a Waco UPF-7, a Naval N3N biplane, and a Vultee BT-13.
Along the way, Barron married and raised a family of six children. He is sorely missed by family and friends.
Submitted by his son, James.

How Mental Motivation Gets You Through Your Workout
Dec 30, 2016 22:38
Ever notice how some exercises seem tougher than others? Well that’s because they are and the reasons can vary from a change in the weather, our health, and our sleep cycle. However, if you’re feeling physically healthy, supple and fit it could be a mental barrier that’s stopping you from switching it up a gear in order to power through until the very end.
Don’t Stop The Music
One of the ways to overcome apathy, lethargy or fight the wall you’ve run up against by turning up the volume! Create an adrenaline pumping list of fun, fast and furious tracks, ‘eye of the tiger’ is a must, that’ll get you feeling positive, fired up and ready to tackle that last set of sprints. Have an emergency fitness playlist on standby that you can smoothly switch to when you feel like you’re flagging, as research shows that people run faster and harder to music that has an upbeat tempos or positive, happy lyrics.
It doesn’t really matter what words you choose as long as they work for you and are short enough for you to repeat over and over instead of thinking what’s my mantra again? Which, in turn, will guarantee you’ll lose focus and probably stop altogether. Try to choose something quick, easy to remember and inspirational as well as having personal meaning for you. You’re looking for the words to light a fire inside you when you say them, as overtime mantras create resonance with the body, spurring it on when the words are repeated over and over again.
It’s difficult to see results straight away when exercising so it’s useful to visualise what you may look like after three months of running then six months and so on. Showing yourself mentally accomplishing a task can help you push forward into completing it for real, you just need to see yourself succeeding in order to believe you can. Lots of personal trainers learn advanced visualisation techniques on personal training courses that give them various psychological tools to help their clients achieve mental clarity and focus.
During a hard training session adjust your expectations and use a reward based theory the same way you might with a pet. Tell yourself that if you finish the workout strong you can watch a favourite TV show, buy yourself a new game or go shopping with a friend. Try to use non food rewards as it’s important you don’t build a connection between diet and success as that approach can lead to comfort eating over time.
Hold on to the sense of exhilaration, joy and excitement that you experienced when you completed your last workout. This way, when you’re struggling you can recall finishing a tough workout and how amazing you felt when you pushed through. Eventually, you’ll know that you can get through a tough cardio session or a challenging weight lifting class as you’ll remember completing the previous workout, the one before that and so on which maintains positive thinking that’ll help to boost your confidence and stamina.
You are going through an underappreciated transformation in your life if you are going through a breakup right now. Grieving might be sparked by losing the presence of a loved one who was integral to both your daily routines and daily life. In that regard, your body enters “mourning mode” when you depart from someone who had a voice you were accustomed to listening to before bed and waking up to. There may be numerous physiological alterations as a result. One of them is the inability to eat after a breakup. Read more

The US has found a large surge in scenarios of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, largely in youthful children. Two organizations intention to make vaccines for kids and aged persons obtainable future year
3 November 2022
A surge in circumstances of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), primarily amongst young little ones, has been overpowering hospitals throughout the US. But vaccines for the virus are in progress and two might be readily available in the place as soon as subsequent yr.
RSV is extremely prevalent, with most people today catching it by the time they are 2 several years previous, suggests Robert Frenck at Cincinnati Kid’s Hospital Health-related Centre in Ohio. It usually triggers moderate chilly-like signs or symptoms, but it can be lifestyle-threatening for little ones under the age of 5, older grownups and folks who are immunocompromised. Around the world, an approximated 160,000 folks die every yr from RSV.
“There’s no actual distinct treatment method for RSV, and suitable now, we have no vaccine,” states Frenck. But that might alter shortly.
On Tuesday, US pharmaceutical enterprise Pfizer reported it will submit its maternal RSV vaccine for acceptance from the US Meals and Drug Administration (Fda) by the conclusion of 2022. Pregnant persons specified the vaccine go antibodies via the placenta to their fetus.
A phase III trial uncovered that the vaccine was just about 82 for every cent helpful at stopping serious an infection in infants under 90 times outdated, and it remained pretty much 70 per cent successful by a kid’s initial 6 months of lifetime.
It ordinarily will take multiple vaccine doses and quite a few months for a youthful youngster to produce an suitable range of antibodies towards a condition, says Janet Englund at Seattle Children’s Medical center. “The gain of a maternal vaccine is that it begins operating the working day the baby’s born,” she suggests.
Also this week, Uk pharmaceutical firm GSK introduced that the Food and drug administration will review its RSV vaccine for older older people in just the next 6 months, The vaccine was over 82 per cent helpful at blocking RSV in a phase III trial of adults aged 60 and older.
In October, the hospitalization fee in the US for RSV was just about double what it was in Oct 2021. Other nations around the world, like Canada and the British islesare also looking at conditions increase.
The incidence of RSV ordinarily spikes each yr among November and March, claims Frenck. Although, for the reason that of covid-19 actions these as masking and social distancing, much less youngsters than usual have contracted RSV the previous two several years.
Now that this kind of actions have been lifted in the US, kids who weren’t earlier contaminated are slipping sick, most likely conveying the skyrocketing instances this yr. “Instead of looking at only young children under 1 coming into the healthcare facility, we are looking at people less than 2 or 3 coming in,” says Englund.
Researchers have been hoping to produce an RSV vaccine due to the fact the 1960s. The very first tries utilized the similar process as the polio vaccine, inoculating young children with a complete, inactive edition of the virus that couldn’t replicate in the human body.
Even so, this created these kinds of a potent immune response that young children fell ill, and some even died when they contracted RSV the next calendar year, states Englund.
About 10 many years back researchers discovered a precise protein on the RSV virus, named the prefusion protein, which permits RSV to attach to and infect cells, comparable to the spike protein on the covid-19 virus. Vaccines making use of only RSV’s prefusion protein make a robust – but not dangerously reactive – immune reaction, claims Englund.
Because an RSV vaccine is not going to be offered until upcoming year at the earliest, Englund says the most effective way to guard by yourself or your little one from slipping ill is by on a regular basis washing your palms to protect against the virus’s distribute.

The CK One Music Lounge was another go-to spot to be at for Lollapalooza weekend if you weren’t at the festival during the day. Exhibit A is this private performance from Eve, who performed a high-energy mix of classics and new cuts from her summer album, Lip Lock.
The intimate and exclusive setting allowed the crowd to interact with Eve in between songs, which gave the performance even more of a family feel. As a first-time viewer of Eve in person, I came away impressed with her engaging vibe and overall style. I was swept up with the crowd in all the fun when her classics came on like “Who’s That Girl and “Tambourine,” both documented above. Plus, I’m seeing more and more that her Lip Lock album is nothin’ to sleep on as the intro track “Eve,” which leads off the video above, really resonated in person too. All in all, it certainly sounds like I enjoyed the performance doesn’t it? So did the rest of our team and those in the CK One Music Lounge.
Give another one of our #GWHHVideos a look-see above and also browse below for a sampling of what the CK One Music Lounge was like. As Eve shouted out in the video too, shoutout to BMF Media once again for putting together the dope event and atmosphere.

Big Pharma hit the White House yesterday, with PhRMA president Billy Tauzin ushering CEOs into a meeting on the cost-saving agreement hammered out last month. While they were there, they discussed some other agenda items, too. Namely reimportation of prescription drugs, an idea President Obama endorsed during the campaign but drugmakers adamantly oppose.
And to hear Tauzin tell it, they got good news. Tauzin told the Wall Street Journal that White House officials assured him and the pharma execs that reimportation won't be necessary provided healthcare reform passes. That must have cheered the CEOs, who included Merck's Richard Clark (photo), Pfizer's Jeff Kindler (photo), Amgen's Kevin Sharer (photo), Abbott Laboratories' Miles White (photo), and last but not least, the current PhRMA chair and AstraZeneca chief David Brennan (photo).
As the New York Times reports today, this is just one example of the "assurances" lawmakers are giving healthcare companies that have ironed out cost-cutting deals to foster healthcare reform. The horse trading could end up backfiring, experts point out, if the money saved is offset by the cost of keeping those promises.

Harley-Davidson Buys Maker of Electric Bikes for Kids
Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson Inc. has acquired StaCyc Inc., a California-based producer of electric bicycles for children.
As a new subsidiary, the electric bike maker will offer special Harley-Davidson-branded versions of StaCyc’s low-rider bikes (pictured) this autumn.
Featuring 12- or 16-inch wheels and a low seat height, StaCyc’s bicycles are designed to be especially stable and easy for very young children to handle. The bikes are powered by a snap-on lithium-ion battery that takes 45-60 minutes to charge and provides 30-60 minutes of run time.
Harley-Davidson plans to introduce its first adult electric motorcycle, the high-performance LiveWire, this autumn. The company expects to add other electric models in 2021.
Chinese electric-car startup Nio Inc. is forming a manufacturing joint venture with Beijing E-Town International Investment and Development Co., which is investing 10 billion yuan ($1.5 billion) in the business.
I'm not talking about a plastic Revell model of a '57 Chevy, but a real vehicle, one that rolls off an assembly line in 1999 with another 99,999 just like it right behind. Is it possible, or is this just a fantasy of the marketing department at Elmer's?
The Lexus ES sedan is more than just an offering within the company’s lineup.

Escalating number of long-term unemployed young people in Plymouth
ESCALATING numbers of youngsters on the dole for more than a year in Plymouth have fuelled accusations that a flagship project to get the long-term jobless into work is failing.
It came as latest figures revealed an 84 per cent hike in claimants aged 24 and under who have been receiving jobless benefit for more than 12 months.
The number in that age range getting Jobseekers Allowance long-term had gone up from 225 in January to 415 last month.
Cornwall had also seen a similar rise over the period, from 260 to 430, although in the South Hams it had been more constant hovering at a monthly average of around 20.

The overall number of people in Plymouth signing on for more than 12 months has also risen from 1,120 at the start of the year to 1,750 in August.
In Cornwall it increased from 1,435 to 2,005, while in South Hams it stayed at around 130.
It comes as data from the Office for National Statistics shows Plymouth's jobless total fell slightly last month.
The number of unemployment claimants in the city dropped to 6,490 in August – down just 24 on July.
Unemployment across the South West fell by 9,000 in the quarter to July, to 153,000, giving a jobless rate of 5.7 per cent – the lowest in the UK.
And nationally, those out of work fell by 7,000 in the quarter to July, to 2.59million, an unemployment rate of 8.1 per cent. But during Prime Minister's Questions yesterday, Labour leader Ed Miliband pointed out the number of people who had been out of work for more than a year was now 904,000 – "its highest level for 17 years". Mr Cameron admitted there were "disturbing" figures on long-term unemployment but the Work Programme was designed to tackle it.
But Mr Miliband also said there had also been a 247 per cent rise over 12 months in the number of young people on the dole for more than a year. He claimed it was "the clearest evidence so far that the Work Programme isn't working".

IMAGE: US President Donald Trump together with Silicon Valley scion and Bilderberg member Peter Thiel.
As 21WIRE has pointed out in previous reports, in their response to the coronavirus, Western governments have consistently looked to and copied almost all of the authoritarian measures and tactics employed by the Chinese state. Amid this global panic atmosphere, Western governments seem as keen as ever to show their public and the international community that they have the crisis ‘under control’. However, few politicians or media pundits have bothered to stop and consider whether China’s authoritarian social control grid is both appropriate and practical for western democracies. Is this system really necessary considering that populations will normally achieve natural herd immunity?How will a total surveillance state imposed on citizens via a ‘virus’ tracking app’ impact the rights and civil liberties of individuals and families? Will this system be used to activate digital ID ‘immunity passports’ and be used to exclude and segregate people?
Clearly, political leaders are not asking any of these important questions right now. Leading the way in copying the Chinese system is US President Donald Trump, who has just hired the shadowy artificial intelligence firm Palantir in order to design and implement a total surveillance tracking system and COVID-19 ‘contact tracing’ app which looks set to be integrated with the Bill Gates mass-vaccination agenda.
In this way, by using Peter Thiel and Palantir to provide this A.I. led surveillance technology, Donald Trump and his federal government are effectively partnering with Bill Gates and the pharmaceutical industry to activate the Gates and WHO global vaccine plan for a big government and big pharma-driven ‘synthetic immunity’.
To fully understand the impersonal nature and brutality of the Chinese-style system which the US and its allied countries are currently attempting to rush through into implementation without any judicial review – please watch this harrowing WSJ report from China which accurately depicts how invasive this new technocracy actually is:
Make no mistake. These are the foundations of a new technocracy, anchored by a Chinese-style, digitally-driven system of ‘medical martial law‘ which is already being officially rolled-out in parts of the United States…
The Daily Beast reports…
A Silicon Valley company co-founded by a close ally of President Donald Trump will play a major new role in helping the government track the spread of the coronavirus, pulling information that is being used by top administration officials, including the president himself.
Palantir, the data-mining firm created by investor Peter Thiel, is best known for its work with global intelligence, military, and law enforcement agencies. Now, the company has a contract with the Department of Health and Human Services to help the federal government create a new data platform called HHS Protect Now.
The Daily Beast has confirmed that Palantir will provide a major aspect of the analytics platform. Sources familiar told The Daily Beast that Palantir’s data suites will be a primary contributor to HHS Protect Now, if not the core element of the tool.
Palantir’s involvement in the creation of a new government coronavirus data platform system underscores the Trump administration’s reliance on close political allies of the president to respond to the global pandemic. Thiel was Trump’s earliest and highest-profile backer in Silicon Valley, and delivered a prime-time speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention. A top donor to conservative causes and the first outside investor in Facebook, Thiel was, according to The Wall Street Journal, instrumental in pushing the social networking giant to allow politicians to lie in advertisements on the platform. It’s a policy that many outside observers believe will help the Trump campaign—which Thiel has again pledged to support.
Palantir, which Thiel helped found—and still retains a sizeable stake in —has watched its already-lucrative government business skyrocket in the Trump era. Palantir “provided digital profiling tools” to Immigration and Customs Enforcement “as it carried out President Trump’s increasingly controversial policies for apprehending and deporting undocumented immigrants,” according to The Washington Post. The firm had anticipated going public, although the coronavirus may have delayed plans for an IPO.
The HHS Protect Now platform, which is set to be unveiled later this week, pulls data from across the federal government, state and local governments, healthcare facilities, and colleges, to help administration officials determine how to “mitigate and prevent spread” of the coronavirus, according to a spokesperson for the department…

He's still on the job in Arizona, preparing for his fourth season in the dugout. But he has about as much shelf life as milk after confirming the SI.com report he tested positive for cocaine last season.
This is not a good thing for anybody — nor is the continued leaking of results from a supposedly confidential testing program — but it's the way it is.
Washington deserves a chance to get past what he calls "a terrible mistake,'' as there's no indication what he did affected his job performance. He did the exact right thing in telling the Rangers before test results were revealed.
Rangers President Nolan Ryan and general manager Jon Daniels should be applauded for standing behind Washington when he came to them in the middle of the 2009 season. But that was then. This is now.
Ryan said Tuesday that Washington initially offered to resign.
"He understood the consequences, and we had a lot of discussions and soul-searching, and we felt that we would treat him just as we would other employees through our Human Resources Department,'' the Hall of Fame pitcher said to reporters in Surprise, Ariz. "We chose to do that because he was sincere and forthright.''
Ryan hopes his organization's fans can be as forgiving.
"As far as our fans, we hope (they) understand we're very disappointed and upset we were put in this position,'' he said. "But we felt because of Ron's sincerity, we wanted to move forward with him as our manager. We feel he is very capable."
He's right about that. But the reality is Washington, who is signed only through this season, stands little chance in the court of public opinion in the Dallas area, where Major League Baseball remains a hard sell in its 39th season there.
It's one thing to support a center fielder trying to get past his well chronicled history of heavy drug use, as Rangers' fans do Josh Hamilton, but another thing again to have the guy calling the shots showing such horrible judgment. This dog ain't gonna hunt in Texas, where coaches know fans always will be behind them win or tie.
The bet here is that Washington won't open the season in the dugout. Club lawyers will cobble together a severance package and give former Rockies hitting coach Clint Hurdle, now Washington's hitting coach, a chance to manage in 2010 on an interim basis. Former Cub Steve Buechele, a Ryan favorite who has been promoted from Class A to Double-A, could be in the dugout next year.
"He's on ‘The Jeffersons' program,'' Ryan said about Buechele last week. "He's movin' on up.''
Uniform personnel and front-office staffers have been subject to MLB's testing program since 2008, when that level of testing was added after being recommended by George Mitchell, who led a study on steroid and drug use in baseball.
Washington, a loyal baseball lifer who finds positives with even someone as troubled as Bradley, is the first the program has ensnared. He joins Alex Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa and David Ortiz in being reported as dirty only because the system did not deliver the confidentiality it promised.
Unlike players, who through the MLB Players Association have agreed only to random testing for performance-enhancing substances, the MLB staffers are tested for cocaine and other recreational drugs.
Washington was subject only to a mandatory treatment program for his first offense. He had finished it earlier this spring, coincidentally, and vows never to slip again. It's a shame he has been embarrassed publicly. It would be a great story if he simply could survive, let alone thrive. But some jobs are just too tough, and his is one of those.

How To Paint The Background Of Your Fish Tank Black | My Aquarium Club.
Painted – The cheapest and one of the simplest ways to create aquarium backgrounds is to paint them yourself. This option is very popular with people who like plain backgrounds for their fish tanks as it’s inexpensive and quite easy to do. The most commonly used colors are darker colors such as black, dark blue and dark green, however this depends on the types of decorations and the colors of the fish in your tank, so experiment with different colors and choose one that you think will look best.
Answer: There are several options for a background on your tank, and what you choose depends on the look you are going for, painting the back of the tank a solid color such as black or blue will allow the fish to be the focal point of the tank, there are also the premade backgrounds that can be purchased at your local fish store, these can add a natural look to the tank, with pictures of rocks and plants. These come in self adhesive and non self adhesive, if you get the non stick kind a spray adhesive works great to attach it to the tank.

Black Background Amazing Fish Tank Setup ! - YouTube
Im a big fan of the black backgrounds, but I was thinking about it, it would probably look hot if you had an all white tank, background, sand and rocks and just colorful fish. Do you think the fish would stand out as much?This is a 3 feet by 1 feet fish tank with a new setup of black background & white sand with some artificial plants! Fishes including are Gold fish, Koi Fish, White Molly, Japanese Koi, Albino & black shark.Aquarium backgrounds offer an easy way to hide unsightly electrical cords plumbing and equipment subconsciously our eyes are drawn past the mini aquarium fish tank i am partial to the black background myself here is a pic of my tank with p1050793 jpg 11 16 12 jpgThe black backgrounds with black substrate look fabulous in my heavily planted tanks with moderate-high light. The greens really pop and my light colored fish look great.Please view in HD as this video was only filmed on my iPad.
I have just added a black background to the tank to help the fish stand out. It also works really well against the greenery of the plants. Very little expense for the background but a great impact on the overall look of the tank. Please let me know what you think! :)

I first came into contact with Brian McDermott after a press conference last May after a string of wins that took Reading into the play-offs after a poor start to the season. Asked to account for the turnaround, McDermott credited Bounce — my book on the science of success — as part of the explanation.

After initially sliding to session lows following the ECB’s announcement in which the ECB cautioned it could expand QE in size and duration, the European currency has spiked sharply on far more upbeat comments from Mario Draghi, who during his press conference said that data since the meeting in early March confirm that cyclical recovery of the euro-area is becoming “increasingly solid” a statement interpreted as broadly hawkish.
Among the other upbeat comments is that risks are moving closer to being “broadly balanced”, and that “downside risks have diminished”
That said, he notes that growth continues to be dampened by sluggish implementation of structural reforms, including product markets and speaking of risks, says that “while moving toward a more balanced configuration,” still tilted to downside.
Finally, on inflation Draghi said that the ECB’s “assessment of inflation outlook not really changed.”

Liverpool, UK—The family of a woman who recently died of the asbestos cancer mesothelioma is embroiled in a legal dispute over her death, but has been encouraged to “keep on fighting” by another woman whose life was affected by this deadly disease.
Dianne Willmore died in October, just one day after she was awarded a victory in the Court of Appeal in her case against her former employer, Bowring Comprehensive school in Huyton. Willmore was exposed to asbestos while working at the school, after reconstruction at the building released the toxic dust into the air.
The High Court had previously ruled that her mesothelioma cancer had been caused by that exposure. Yet in December, Knowsley council said that it was not “reasonably practicable” that Willmore could have been protected from the asbestos exposure that led to her cancer, and requested permission to appeal this ruling from the Supreme Court. This means that the damages awarded to Knowsley’s estate–£240,000 total—are now frozen pending the decision regarding the council’s request.
Willmore was just 49 at the time of her death. Her family, understandably, is not only grieving her death but frustrated by the delay in the court battle. Recently they have received support from an asbestos campaigner who lost her partner to mesothelioma at a similarly young age.
Ged Eden, who had been an electrician as well as a seaman in the Royal Navy, died at age 47 from mesothelioma. After a five-year legal battle, Eden’s widow Carole received an out-of-court settlement of £250,000 by the House of Lords as compensation for her husband’s untimely death.
“I would like to support the family of Mrs. Willmore anyway I can,” said Eden. “I hope the family fight all the way.”
Mesothelioma, a rare but aggressive cancer, affects nearly 3,000 new patients each year in the United Kingdom alone. Currently there is no cure for the disease, which typically carries a short life expectancy.

Jewelers are offering up to 50% discounts on their jewelry products in order to attract more consumers in the current festive season of the remaining months of the year. They hope that this will ensure a boost in demand from rural areas in light of the losses they’ve been hit by earlier this year. To be more specific, the gold sales of India has been affected by 10% to 20% due to the Indian Government mandating that PAN submission should be mandatory for jewelry purchases worth about 2 lakh and beyond back in January 1, 2017. Indeed, gold prices for 2016 were up 10% higher. This curbed demand along with a closer eye of taxation authorities in regards to gold sales and high import duties. The holiday surge is what the jewelers want to make up for this discrepancy.
The Current State of the Indian Jewelry Market
- Last month’s peak of 32,000 per 10 grams in terms of the gold price has lowered by 7% to 29,747 per 10 grams. The good news is that it’s 9.6% higher than last year’s price, but there’s still a bit of a discrepancy there that needs addressing. In the festive season, because there was a drop in gold price, there should be a boosted rate of demand for jewelry containing gold in the Indian market, particularly the rural market that usually can’t afford such important and precious ornamental assets.
- The World Gold Council India’s Managing Director, Somasundaram PR, agrees with the assessment that demand will be hopefully driven by the lower gold prices and the seasonal festive spirit of spending and buying around this most wonderful time of the year. Back in March 1, 2016 and onwards, demand was affected due to a 42-day strike around that time, the managing director takes note.
- There wasn’t much demand with AkshayaTritiya either because rural or provincial Indian purchasing power was disturbed by twin droughts that came one after another. Furthermore, aside from the strike and the lowered purchasing power, the market sentiment at the time was altogether poor, to say the least. They expect (or rather, hope for) a 10% to 20% higher festive demand for gold jewelry barring any unforeseen incidents down the line.

2013: The Year To Go For It
I just celebrated another birthday last week. I was so touched by all the joyful birthday wishes I received from people I’ve had the privilege to share time with in 2012. And so I begin 2013 feeling rich and inspired to use this year to really go for it in my life!
One of my favorite greetings I received came from an organization I belong to that routinely inspires and challenges me. It was a quote from Kurt Vonnegut.
So I share it with you now, because I can’t think of wiser words to begin this year with than these:
“Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow.
- Sing in the shower.
- Dance to the radio.
- Tell stories.
- Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem.
And you will get the enormous reward of having created something.”
– Kurt Vonnegut
What if your life were your greatest work of art?
- Every thought is a creative idea.
- Every feeling is a color, a texture, a line.
- Every action is a brush stroke.
- Every avoidance, a missed opportunity.
Why not make 2013 the year you finally go for it!
- Let go of who you were in 2012.
- Ask yourself what your soul needs most to grow.
- Schedule an hour a week to nourish yourself in that area.
- Try one new thing and do it (however well or badly).
- Discover the kind of life you will create as a result.
I’m so blessed to have another year to share this creative journey with you. Join me in making this year the best year ever! I’m always here to help!
Sign up for blog alerts so you don’t miss a drop of inspiration and encouragement to keep you moving forward on your 2013 creative journey.

As Greece waits for the release of 31 billion euros of emergency loans one top official has said the country will have to earn any, “haircut” on its debt.
Jens Weidman a member of the governing council of the European Central Bank believes a writedown of some of the debts will only make sense as a reward for completing a reform package that puts Greece’s finances on a sustainable basis.
The words come on a day there were hints the IMF and eurozone governments would work to overcome their differences at a crucial Eurogroup meeting next week.
“It is a question of working hard, putting our mind to it, making sure that we focus on the same objective which is that the country in particular, Greece, can operate on a sustainable basis, can recover, can get back on its feet, can re-access markets as early as possible,” Christine Lagarde, International Monetary Fund Managing Director told reporters during her tour of Asia.
Lagarde will cut short her tour to attend that meeting on Greece next week. At the heart of the disagreement over the bailout fund is the time the country should be given to lower its debt.
Eurozone finance ministers say the country should be given until 2022, Lagarde has insisted on the existing target of 2020.
Banks, insurers and other private sector investors holding about 206 billion euros of Greek bonds took a 53.5 percent reduction in the nominal value of their securities earlier this year.

John Peter Zenger, His Press, His Trial, and a Bibliography of Zenger Imprints
Reprint of the 1904 edition, which was limited to three hundred twenty five copies. The standard older account of the trial, it remains a valuable part of the Zenger bibliography. For many scholars the most valuable parts of this study are the "Literal Reprint of the First Edition of the Trial" and the descriptive bibliography of titles issued by the Zenger Press, the list of issues of the New York Weekly Journal and the bibliography of the trial. Taken together, these chapters provide an overview of Zenger's career, the works he printed and the historical reception of his trial to about 1900.

The Durban International Film Festival announced its award winners on Saturday 31 July during the live Facebook award ceremony of the festival’s 42nd edition, ahead of the screening of its closing documentary film, Threshold by Brazilian director Coraci Ruiz.
The announcement comes as the festival rounds off a very successful year, with a significant increase in online attendance. CCA Director Ismail Mahomed says of this year’s event: “I was delighted with the success of DIFF 2021, and it was very gratifying to view a large number of streams and also to see the huge enthusiasm from our South African audiences for the festival.”
In the spirit of being a champion for democracy, human rights, social justice, creative education and access to the arts for all, the festival introduced three new awards categories. “We want to award recognition to filmmakers, organisations, and institutions who share in our commitment to engage the cinematic arts to grow, mature and defend our democracy,” says Mahomed. The inaugural DIFF Promoting Access to Cinema Award was won by the mobile cinema project Sunshine Cinema for their outstanding work that brings sustainable and free screenings in predominantly communities. The inaugural DIFF Film in Education award was won by non-profit media company STEPS for producing over 100 documentaries for a diverse range of public education projects. The third inaugural award, the DIFF Human Rights Award, went to filmmaker Enver Samuels for creating documentaries that played a vital role in documenting the lives of South African human rights legends and unearthing the need for a thorough investigation into the deaths of assassinated political leaders such as Dulcie September and Ahmed Timol.
At the awards ceremony, the festival’s highest accolade of Best Feature Film went to Chinese director Shin Xin’s masterful A Little Bird Reminds Me, from a selection of competition films that the international jury described as “diverse in topics and styles”. The Best Feature Film award carries a cash prize of R50 000. Xin was also honoured with the award for Best Director, with the jury saying, “This director reminds us that sometimes less is more” The jury commended Xin’s film for “having a light touch, beautiful cinematography, and a story that refreshingly unfolds.”
The Best South African Feature Film award, which carries a prize of R25 000, was a challenging choice to make, as the circumstances could not be ignored. The jury emphasises that the films in competition were all by first filmmakers. Due to the pandemic, 2020 was a very difficult year for film in South Africa, which the jury did consider in making their choice. The award went to Cape Town production Sons of the Sea, directed by John Guttierez. The jury stated that they chose the film because it “poignantly displays the power of relationships for good and evil”.
Best Documentary was awarded to the Congolese director Dieudo Hamadi’s Downstream to Kinshasa. According to the jury, “We were taken by using the tool of theatre in this Documentary. It was beautifully expressed and conducted. We found the storytelling stylish, even though the subject matter was complicated.”
The accolade for Best South African Documentary had joint winners of I Am Here, directed by Jory Sank and Murder in Paris, directed by Enver Samuels. According to the jury, “both of these stories are unique stories about freedom and survival.”
This year’s festival had a powerful selection of 53 short films, and the shorts jury had the difficult task of choosing the winners.
The Best South African Short Film was awarded to the King Shaka themed animation Shaka Inkosi Yamakhosi directed by Manzini Zungu for its fresh, unique and decolonial take on history.
The best African Short Film went to the South African What Did You Dream? by Karabo Lediga. “We wanted to distinguish the film for its breath-taking mise-en-scene, magical realism and surprising ending, but also for the director’s great feel for working with children actors.” said the jury.
The Best Short Film unanimously went to Ala Kachuu-Take and Run by director Maria Brendle from Kyrgyzstan “all of us will remember this film for a very long time”, said the jury.
Aside from the winners, the jury added special mentions for Lakushon’ Ilanga, by which they were deeply touched; TukTuk was commended for the extraordinary acting, The World’s Best Orchestra, for its universal topic presented with an excellent sense of humour. Also, special mentions went to the animation TIO, which surprised the jury and Dustin for changing the way people look at the world.
