After spending three days in Buffalo, a deal has finally been reached between DE Mario Williams and the Buffalo Bills franchise. It was widely believed that Williams would ink the highest free agency contract for a defensive player, and he did. Buffalo committed $100 million dollars to the pass rushing specialist, with $50 million dollars in the contract guaranteed.
Usually, first-tier free agents get massively overpaid and that is exactly what has happened in this case. Buffalo utilized a 3-4 defensive scheme last season and now are going to switch back to a 4-3 alignment. Buffalo finished last season ranked 28th against the run and 19th against the pass in a division which features just one elite quarterback, Tom Brady. Was this the best use of money for the Buffalo Bills moving forward?


He said some of the mud houses were not strong enough to withstand the floods, adding that a command centre has been established at the rural administration

Probuphine is Titan’s novel subdermal implant formulation designed using its ProNeura technology to deliver six months of buprenorphine hydrochloride (“buprenorphine”) following a single treatment. Probuphine is being developed for the treatment of opioid dependence and is the first long acting product using buprenorphine, an approved daily dosed compound with U.S. sales of approximately $1.5 billion in 2013 that is designed to maintain a stable, round-the-clock blood level of the drug buprenorphine, for six months following a single treatment.
Probuphine has been shown to be effective with an acceptable safety profile in the following clinical studies:
The goal of any therapy for an addictive disorder is to reduce the use of the substance over time and to engage the patient in treatment long enough for therapeutic gains to be consolidated. In a clinical study, the effectiveness of a treatment for opioid dependence is primarily evaluated by testing a patient’s urine samples for the presence of opioids over the treatment period. In both placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies of Probuphine, every participant was required to provide urine samples three times a week, essentially on alternate days. Any missed sample was considered a positive result (i.e. urine testing positive for illicit opioid). In these studies, the primary effectiveness of the treatment with Probuphine (i.e. the primary endpoint) was established by statistically comparing the proportion of negative urine results (i.e. urine testing negative for illicit opioid) between the Probuphine and placebo arms. The patients in the Probuphine arm showed a clinically meaningful and statistically significant difference in the negative urines as compared to the placebo arm in both studies, with Probuphine treated patients being significantly more successful in reducing their usage of illicit opioids as compared to those treated with placebo implants. These favorable results for Probuphine were also confirmed by a significant difference over the placebo arm in other secondary measures such as retention in treatment, control of withdrawal symptoms and craving for opioids, all of which are monitored by clinicians to see if a treatment is providing clinically meaningful benefit to the patients.
Results for the first double-blind, placebo-controlled safety and efficacy study have been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA, October 2010), and results for the second controlled study have been published in the journal Addiction (Addiction, September 2013).
Patients who completed the controlled studies were eligible for enrollment in the six-month re-treatment studies, which provided important safety and efficacy data for up to one full year of treatment. The pharmacokinetic safety study has provided important data on the level of buprenorphine in the blood during the treatment period and demonstrated a good profile of the safety of Probuphine. Data from the clinical development program have been regularly presented at key medical and scientific meetings and congresses including the International Society of Addiction Medicine (ISAM), The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), The American Association of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP), The American Psychiatric Association (APA), The College on Problems of Drug Dependence (CPDD) and the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ACNP).
These studies are part of a registration-directed program intended to obtain marketing approval of Probuphine for the treatment of opioid dependence in the U.S. and in Europe. Following a review of the NDA submitted in October 2012, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) and requested one additional clinical study which is expected to be completed by mid 2015, followed by a resubmission of the NDA later in 2015.

The continuous drug delivery system consists of a small, solid rod made from a mixture of ethylene-vinyl acetate (“EVA”) and a drug substance. The resulting product is a solid matrix that is placed subcutaneously, normally in the inner part of the upper arm in a simple office procedure, and is removed in a similar manner at the end of the treatment period. The drug substance is released slowly, at continuous levels, through the process of dissolution. This results in a stable blood level similar to intravenous administration. Such long-term, linear release characteristics are generally desirable as this avoids peak and trough level dosing that poses problems for many Central Nervous System (“CNS”) and other disease settings.
This continuous drug delivery technology was developed to address the need for a simple, practical method to potentially provide continuous drug administration on an outpatient basis over extended periods of up to 6-12 months. In addition to Probuphine, which is the first product to complete clinical testing that has utilized this proprietary continuous drug delivery technology, Titan has conducted initial non-clinical studies with long-term delivery of dopamine agonists demonstrating the potential of this product in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in non-clinical models of the disease.
Fanapt (iloperidone) is an atypical antipsychotic approved by the FDA for the treatment of schizophrenia currently being marketed by Novartis Pharma AG (“Novartis”) in the U.S. Titan is entitled to a royalty of 8-10% of net sales of Fanapt under a sublicense agreement with Novartis that is based on a U.S. patent which expires in October 2016 (does not include a possible six-month pediatric extension).
Titan has entered into several agreements with Deerfield Management LP (“Deerfield”), which entitle Deerfield to most of the future royalty revenues related to Fanapt in exchange for cash and debt considerations, the proceeds of which have been used to advance the development of Probuphine and for general corporate purposes. Titan has retained a portion of the royalty revenue from net sales of Fanapt in excess of specified annual threshold levels; however, based on sales levels to date, it is unlikely that Titan will retain any revenue from Fanapt in the next several years, if ever. Titan does not incur any ongoing expenses associated with this product.

As President Barack Obama enters his second term, I believe it is safe to say that this is ideal for many reasons. Some of his plans include Obamacare, long-term economic plan, foreign policy, "all of the above" strategy, etc.
Obamacare protects families against insurance company abuses. It makes sure that people have health care when sick and coverage doesn't go away. Also, it makes sure women and men pay an equal amount if in the same situation.
His move toward tax cuts for the middle class is strongly in our favor. If this law passes before the end of the year, middle-class families and businesses (who make $250,000 or less a year) will not see their taxes go up.
Obama's energy act makes a stride to save Americans at least $8,000 when paying for gas, while also saving 12 billion barrels of oil.
Obama believes in equality and is trying to do his best to bring America together equally and not name classes such as rich and poor, black and white, or men and women. If society could step back and look at what he is trying to do, I think Obama's plan could take America a long way.

We race (electronically) and the loser has to bake a cake to feed the office.
Why? Because we like cake.
Who? Everyone in the office. No one gets out of it. When? 1st Monday of the month. The rules: you make the cake yourself, without any help. You can't 'repeat' a cake. Your cake will be judged on presentation, difficulty and taste, and marked out of 10 by each colleague. When you have baked 3 cakes, you are out of the competition for 1 year.
Raspberry Bakewell Cake by Callum.
Usually, people come in and describe how much of their Sunday was consumed by making the cake (and not in a good way). Callum hasn't made a cake before, but described the process as follows, "put all the stuff in the bowl, used one of those hand whizzers, put it in a baking tray and chucked in raspberries". It took an hour in total, 45 minutes of which, the cake was in the oven. Once baked, he placed almonds on the top and sprinkled on icing sugar. He was particularly pleased that the raspberries hadn't sunk. Job done.
Everyone enjoyed the cake, it was delicious. Callum had executed it well - only Sue complained of a soggy bottom. We liked the raspberries. We liked the flavour and texture. Simplicity was his downfall. He had overlooked the fact that cakes are marked for taste, difficulty, and presentation. Andrew complained of density and a burnt bit (but we all knew that the route of his complaint was really linked to the fact that the cake didn't contain chocolate), and whilst everyone scored it as highly as they could, there was a ceiling to those scores because of the processes involved (or lack of). That said, we must not forget that this is Callum's first ever cake and he nailed it, even if initially we were put off because it brought back memories of Jamie's dry fruit cake.
Raspberry Bakewell Cake Average Score: 7.2
Next time: Angry Adam. (The selection process was time consuming and then incredibly rushed).

Recently there has been a sufficient amount of literature regarding how clothing size affects the self-esteem of each gender in a variety of ways. The purpose of this literature review is to explore how standard clothing sizes affect the self-esteem of each gender, men and women, differently. The findings suggest a Eurocentric ideal that women are held to more of a thin ideal, while men are held to more of a muscular ideal. Additionally, when both women and men did not meet their expected ideals, it caused their self-esteem to become diminished. Overall, women cared more about the clothing size itself than men, but men’s self-esteem were still deeply affected by the clothing that they either chose or chose not to wear. The review first begins with an introduction section. Next, there are two broader sections describing the importance of self-esteem and the relationship between clothing size and self-esteem. Then, there are two sections describing the effects of standard clothing sizes on both men and women. Finally, there is one section that compares the effects of both men and women, together. This review concludes with a short overview of the literature, propositions for future research, and implications of the findings that were discovered.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has embarked on its annual desilting of drains across the city.
On Saturday,deputy mayor Mohan Mithbawkar,along with Antop Hill corporator Tamil Selvan,visited three locations where the work is being carried out Nehru Centre in Worli,Haji Ali stormwater pumping station,Dadar-Dharavi stretch and Rajiv Gandhi Nagar.
The stormwater drainage network,including 38 major nullahs measuring about 319 km,is maintained by the Stormwater Drainage department of the BMC.
The minor 119 nullahs across the city,measuring about 160 km,and the roadside nullahs about 2,000 km are maintained by ward offices. The nullah-cleaning work had begun towards the end of April last year. The work,which began on April 2,is expected to be completed by the first week of June.
Unlike last year,this time the nullah cleaning drive has begun early so that a proper assessment of the work can be done, says chief engineer (SWD) L S Wattkar.
The Haji Ali pumping station,which started functioning in the 2010 monsoon,has helped in curbing flooding in Worli,Dadar and Parel.
The civic body will complete 70 per cent of nullah cleaning before monsoon,20 per cent during monsoon and the remaining 10 per cent after monsoon.
The BMC has set aside Rs 75 crore for the work,as part of the Rs 152-crore two-year contract given last year.

It seems now, more than ever, we need to support the communities in which we live and work. That’s why Para Space Landscaping jumped at the idea of spreading some cheer to our dedicated frontline workers by giving away free spring clean-up services to deserving candidates.
Para Space selected 7 frontline workers who were in need of a garden makeover.
These hard working recipients of Para Space’s generous act include:
- The Nijjers who are a family of two frontline workers, a firefighter and pharmacist
- Nizbeth Ali, a nurse at Langley Memorial Hospital.
- Kellie Nehring, care worker at a senior’s home
- Dexter Ramos is an ICU nurse at Vancouver General Hospital
- Sue Wittrin has been working in Emergency at Delta Hospital for 21 years and is only one month away from her retirement
There are news reports currently circulating that state Mexico is halting temporary foreign workers travelling to Canada. The governments of Mexico and Canada are currently meeting to discuss the situation and will provide us an update when more information is available.
While still being confirmed, early indications are that this will likely not affect workers travelling to British Columbia. WALI will circulate additional information as soon as it is available.
JUNE 16 CLARIFICATION:
The clarification came through regarding what the Mexican government said about not sending SAWP workers to Canada – the actual information was that they would not allow workers onto any infected farms until they had confidence that the infection had been cleaned up.

Minister of Finance and the Public Service, Dr. the Hon. Nigel Clarke, tabled the Public Bodies Management and Accountability (Nomination, Selection and Appointment to Boards) Regulations, 2020 on Tuesday, July 7, 2020 in the House of Representatives. In addition to being consistent with the Corporate Governance Framework and vision of 2011, the legislation now provides for strong representation of both genders on the Board of each Public Body.
The proposed legislation now states that the total membership of the board of any public body shall comprise a minimum of 30 percent male and 30 percent female. The provision of a minimum gender representation requirement is consistent with global best practices, and furthers our national goals of diversity, and gender balance, where we can create a society in which women and men have equal opportunities to contribute to national development.
Dr. Clarke noted, “The Government of Jamaica through this proposed regulatory requirement is signalling the vital importance of gender equity in our society. Inclusion of sufficient numbers of women and men on all public body boards makes for a better Jamaica. The principles of public legitimacy, equality of opportunity, balanced decision-making and basic equity and fairness require this.”
The proposed regulations which benefited from the contribution and feedback from a wide cross section of stakeholders in the public, private and civil society sectors will also allow for the establishment of a secure, reliable and verified database of prospective directors; promote continuity through the compulsory reappointment of some members of an outgoing board; and require compulsory fit and proper testing for certain public boards.
The tabled regulations need to be passed in both Houses of Parliament before becoming effective.

Human and Minority Rights and Gender Equality Committee Chairman Meho Omerovic on International Day of Persons with Disabilities
We mark this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, 3 December, again aware of the fact that persons with disabilities are among the most vulnerable groups of people. Their difficult position is most often the result of unemployment, discrimination, physical barriers and the stereotypes and prejudice still rife in our society. That is why persons with disabilities and their families deserve our support.
It is the state’s duty to ensure them the environment and legal framework conducive to employment and social inclusion. However, everybody able to help promote and advance the skills of persons with disabilities should become engaged, and it is the task of each and every one of us to approach persons with disabilities without bias, mindful of their human rights.
That is why I would like to appeal to the relevant authorities, associations of persons with disabilities, NGOs, professional associations and other institutions to help us create a society of equal opportunities where persons with disabilities could be active citizens whose aptitudes and skills could contribute to social development. I hope the position of persons with disabilities improves in the coming period and that they join Serbia’s social and economic life as soon as possible.

Landon Hunt had always been a starting pitcher until playing last season for Long Beach State.
Hunt was used in a situational role out of the bullpen for the Dirtbags.
But the Moorpark High and Moorpark College product wants to get back to being a starter for his senior season, and is using this summer with the Conejo Oaks to improve his chances.
The left-hander is 2-1 with a 4.57 ERA and is leading the California Collegiate League in strikeouts with 34 in 21.2 innings pitched.
"I have a big desire to be a starter again and that has been fueling me," Hunt said. "I have the opportunity to compete for a starting spot in the fall and then into the season, so this summer is basically like an audition for me. It's helping to prepare myself to compete for it when I go back."
The 6-foot, 170-pound Hunt was a starter for the Oaks last summer, and Oaks head coach David Soliz has been impressed with his progress.
"He has made a significant jump in velocity from last summer and he is utilizing his fastball. That is making him much more successful," Soliz said. "He started off striking out a lot of guys and he has not looked back. He has taken his starting spot and run with it."
Hunt credits Long Beach State head coach Troy Buckley for helping improve his pitching. Buckley was the pitching coach at Long Beach State when Angels ace and Simi Valley High graduate Jered Weaver starred for the 49ers, who are also known unofficially as the Dirtbags.
"He has really helped me a lot with my mechanics and made it a lot easier for me to throw strikes," Hunt said. "He's really helped me develop more consistency and accuracy."
Soliz credits Hunt's early success with the Oaks to keeping hitters off balance.
"He is throwing all his pitches for strikes and what is even better is he is getting some guys to chase some pitches when he is ahead," Soliz said. "That is the biggest key — he gets ahead in the count early and has thrown more fastballs in off-speed counts."
As impressive as his strikeout total has been, Hunt is equally concerned with another statistic this summer.
"I really want to limit my walks," said Hunt, who has walked three batters. "I am trying to have a good walk number the rest of the season so when I get back to Long Beach State, I won't have to change too much going forward."
As he prepares for his senior season, Hunt knows time is dwindling to earn a starting spot at Long Beach State.
"This is it," he said. "I am going to give it everything I have and see what happens."
The Oaks are in the midst of a seven-game homestand at Cal Lutheran's Sparky Anderson Field. The Oaks host the So Cal Angels on Tuesday and Wednesday at 5 p.m. They host Las Vegas on Friday (5 p.m.), Saturday (5 p.m.) and Sunday (1 p.m.) and host the Santa Barbara Foresters on July 3 at 5. … Santa Barbara High graduate Denver Chavez is leading the Oaks in batting average (.441), doubles (5) and RBIs (10). Camarillo High and Oxnard College product Kevin Minjares is batting .354 with three triples. Oaks Christian graduate Evan Ocello is hitting .333 with eight stolen bases. … Newbury Park High graduate Luke Eubank has a 2.25 ERA in eight innings.

This novel about a 14-year-old boy is Amazon’s book of the year
And the Mountains Echoed, by Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner, came in second. Topping it is . . .

NEW YORK—Author Donna Tartt’s The Goldfinch, a novel about a 14-year-old boy surviving in Manhattan after the death of his mother, topped Amazon.com Inc’s list of 100 best books of 2013.
The list, released on Thursday, is compiled by editors at the online retailer. The top choices include fiction and non-fiction works, a collection of short stories, a young-adult novel and an account of being held captive in Somalia.
The Goldfinch is Tartt’s first book since The Little Friend in 2002, which followed her 1992 debut novel The Secret History.
“Our top choice, The Goldfinch, is an emotionally trenchant masterpiece and was hands down our team’s favourite book of the year,” said Sara Nelson, editorial director of books and Kindle at Amazon.
And the Mountains Echoed, by Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, came in second.
Amazon said the saga about a father in Kabul who gives his daughter to a wealthy man proved that lightening can strike not twice but three times.
“As a sweeping epic, family tale, it was best in show,” Nelson said in an interview.
Thank You for Your Service, a non-fiction book about soldiers returning home from war, by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Finkel, came in third.
“Finkel gets inside the families of these guys that have come back after horrible, horrible experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan,” said Nelson. “It is about their experience and how they readjust to life at home, but a lot of it is seen through the eyes of the people around them, the wives and children.”
The annual list is chosen from monthly favorites and any other noteworthy works. Amazon also compiled lists of 20 favourite books in more than two dozen categories such as mystery/thriller, biography/history, literature/fiction, non-fiction, humor/entertainment, young readers/teens, cookbook and lifestyle.

Inter-services Intelligence (ISI), the infamous Pakistani intelligence agency, has asked the Pakistani fighters who have crossed the border to fight alongside the Taliban, to destroy the development projects built by the Indian government in Afghanistan. So far, more than 10,000 Pakistani fighters from Pakistan have entered Afghanistan with instruction from ISI to destroy Indian assets.
“A large number of Pakistani fighters have joined the fight inside Afghanistan against the government there and supporting the Taliban. They have entered the arena with instructions to target Indian assets and buildings,” reported India Today.
INTEL INPUT: The Pakistan Spy Agency ISI has instructed Taliban and Aprox 10000 Pak Militia to Target Indian Built Assets in Afghanistan
— Megh Updates 🚨 (@MeghUpdates) July 18, 2021
In the last two decades, India has spent billions of dollars on development projects in Afghanistan. The 218-km road between Delaram and Zaranj Salma dam; and the Afghan Parliament building, which was inaugurated in 2015, are the biggest symbols of the Indian contribution to the Afghan people. And now Pakistan has set its eyes on these projects.
However, given the fact, Taliban wants to preserve these projects and it has repeatedly said that it has no problem with the Indian government and its projects, the Taliban and Pakistan-supported militia might end up fighting over these projects.
Taliban, although brutal, cruel, and inhuman, realizes the importance of these projects which have taken years to build and cost billions of dollars. Taliban also realizes that given its brutality, the international community would not give a single penny to rebuilt projects like parliament if they are destroyed.
Therefore, instead of destroying them, the Taliban wants to control these projects and buildings built by India. The construction of the dam began way back in 1976 as multiple roadblocks slowed down the process. Afghan Foreign Minister Mohammad Haneef Atmar and his Indian counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar signed a memorandum of understanding on the implementation of the project.
Since this project is funded and constructed by the Government of India as a part of the Indian aid project, the Afghan cabinet renamed the Salma Dam to the Afghan-India Friendship Dam as a gesture of appreciation to strengthen relations between the two countries, this dam has a lot of significance. Hailing India’s support for the reconstruction and development of the war-weary country, Ghani said a sovereign and united Afghanistan is essential to the prosperity, connectivity, and stability of the entire region. Expressing support for the “Afghan-led and Afghan-owned” peace process, Modi said, “Both India and Afghanistan want to see the region free from terrorism.”
India has been very smart from the beginning and built development projects instead of taking sides between the civilian government and the Taliban. Therefore, even when the Taliban government comes to power, these projects would be equally crucial, and the Taliban regime would prefer peace with India.
So, as far as India and its projects are concerned, the Taliban and Pakistan stand on opposite sides.
Taliban and Pakistan have many other issues that would ensure that they are friendly once the Taliban starts controlling the whole Afghani territory. While Pakistan’s government and its top parties continue to serenade the Afghan Taliban, another monster in its backyard has started making the lives of ordinary Pakistanis difficult. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) also referred to in the media as the ‘Pakistani Taliban’, which has fashioned itself on the lines of Afghan Taliban but is essentially anti-Pakistan in its stance is looking to assimilate the Pashtuns from across the border, refusing to acknowledge the Durand line.
It is pertinent to note that TTP has been involved in several of the goriest terrorist incidents to have taken place in Pakistan in the last few years. From the ghastly Peshawar school attack to the Hotel attack to routine roadside bombings, sniper attacks, ambushes, and the killing of residents accused of collaborating with government forces – TTP is all out to flush the Pakistani government and establish its dominance.
While Pakistan’s government harbours dream of ruling Afghanistan after the US troops started pulling out in May, earlier this year by helping the Afghan Taliban, what it doesn’t comprehend is that it is digging a grave for itself.

Title: A Functional Analysis of Safe Harbors Green
Bryan Quinn, an environmental designer and founder of One Nature, will lead a discussion about the ecological and community benefits of Safe Harbors Green, an urban park in Newburgh that incorporates green infrastructure for stormwater. In this talk, A Functional Analysis of Safe Harbors Green, Bryan will be joined by Anna Beeman and Elise Chessman from Vassar College. "Green design" is touted on almost every new large landscape construction project, but how often is that actually true? And how is it "measured"? In this 45 minute talk, join Bryan, Anna and Elise as they present their joint assessment of the environmental and community impacts created by Safe Harbors Green, a half-acre publicly accessible park in the heart of downtown Newburgh. Designed and built with sponsorship from Safe Harbors of the Hudson, an affordable housing and arts organization, the park was created to provide benefits to Newburgh residents and the surrounding environment. Over the past three months, One Nature has collaborated with Vassar College's Community Engaged Learning Program to develop an honest assessment of the park's environmental impact. Specific topics to be discussed will include: carbon sequestration, green infrastructure, habitat, and economic impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. Q&A will follow. This program will be followed by a guided tour of the park across the street from location of this program.
Hosted by the Hudson Valley Watershed Alliance at The Wherehouse in Newburgh, NY. The talk is on December 7th and starts at 12:30 pm, but please arrive early at 12 to meet and greet the speakers, order lunch, etc.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Older Adults
On July 26th, 2021 the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) celebrated its 31st year. This civil rights law was designed to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access to work, education, and their community. As we age our needs likely change. For many, this could lead to a decrease in mobility, vision, and/or hearing. From the ADA National Network*, “More than 30 percent of Americans over age 65 have some kind of disability and over 50 percent of those over age 75. These may range from difficulties seeing and hearing to walking and thinking. Under the ADA, it isn’t the cause of the disability that matters, but what it means in everyday life.” Therefore, many older adults are protected under ADA and can benefit from the support that is available to aid their daily living.
At the Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan (AAAWM), our mission is to provide older persons and persons with a disability an array of services designed to promote independence and dignity in their homes and communities. With a change in physical abilities, individuals likely feel discouraged if they experience limitations in their mobility, vision loss, or hearing impairment. Withdrawing from activities they used to enjoy or isolating themselves from family and friends is common. This doesn’t have to be the case, there are a number of services and community partners available to help individuals remain independent.
In fact, technology and resources continue to evolve to assist older adults and those with disabilities as they navigate their homes and communities. Assistive technology such as a Personal Emergency Response System (PERS) is available to communicate with and aid those who may require emergency assistance. Adaptive equipment such as an amplified phone, TV ears (voice clarifying headphones), and hearing aids are options for those with hearing impairments. Mobility equipment such as walkers, bath equipment, hoyer lifts, scooters, power and manual wheelchairs also are offered. Some of these items are available on loan or at a low cost through the Kent County Senior Millage and Older Americans Act funding. Home assessments are available to help identify barriers to independent living and, in some cases, can make this upgrade or repair for the homeowner, including ramps and grab bars, to ensure their homes meet their evolving needs.
Another important piece to supporting your loved one with mobility, vision, or hearing loss is to help them realize they are not alone. Education and support groups exist to emphasize comradery, education, and learning. For instance, the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired offers support groups for those with vision loss or blindness to assist these individuals and their family members in understanding and coping with a broad range of impairments. Disability Advocates of Kent County features Aging in Place classes on their YouTube page that highlight assistive technology and other tools you can use.
To get started and learn about available supports, call the Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan at (616) 456-5664. We’d be happy to hear about your needs and connect you to a service partner in your community. We currently partner with Alternatives in Motion, the Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Baldwin Family Health Care, Disability Advocates, Elders’ Helpers, Home Repair Services, and more.

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra Close Quarters interdisciplinary digital series melding musical and visual arts continues with Concertmaster Margaret Batjer leading a performance of Beethoven’s “Serioso” String Quartet in F minor, arranged for string ensemble by Mahler.
Close Quarters cinematographer Michael Elias Thomas films the orchestra with direction by LACO Creative Director of Digital Content James Darrah and audio production by Robert Wolff.
The new episode is available to the public at no cost and can be streamed on demand following its premiere on Friday, April 9, at 6:30 p.m. at laco.org/close-quarters, and LACO’s YouTube and Facebook live channels. A digital pre-concert conversation begins at 5:30 p.m.
“This episode is bursting at the seams with the brilliance of Beethoven,” LACO Executive Director Ben Cadwallader said. “Margaret Batjer’s extensive experience as a chamber musician shines through as she leads her LACO colleagues in a taut, fiery interpretation of Mahler’s elegant transcription of Beethoven’s masterpiece.”
Batjer, concertmaster of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra since 1998, has soloed with such major orchestras as the Philadelphia Orchestra and the St. Louis, Seattle and Dallas symphony orchestras, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Prague Chamber Orchestra and Berlin Symphony Orchestra. She appears regularly at the Marlboro Music Festival, La Jolla Summerfest, Salzburg Festival and Italy’s Naples and Cremona festivals.
Close Quarters’ “digitally native” programs, created specifically for streaming and hailed as “musically and artistically compelling” by Los Angeles Times, have drawn more than one million views to date since debuting in November. Between 30 and 40 minutes in length, they are safely filmed at The Colburn School’s Olive Rehearsal Hall.
Subsequent Close Quarters episodes premiere on Fridays, April 23, May 7 and 21, and June 4, 2021, at 6:30 p.m.

England and France worked their way through their respective groups and also the Round of 16 to qualify for the Quarter-finals of the World Cup. Both are highly motivated to continue their quest for the second World Cup title.
France arrive at their next away match as number four in the FIFA world ranking. Meanwhile, England are looking ahead to the game as number five in the standings.
France played an awesome game against Poland, disposing Lewandowski and co. without too much hassle in the end. It could have gotten hot, though, with the Poles missing a massive chance with the score 0-0. Lloris won't want to give away such chances against an in-form English side.
England played a dour 30 minutes against Senegal and then settled the game completely before half-time. With Harry Kane finally getting on the scoreboard, the result said 3-0 in the end with Senegal never finding a way back. We are in for a fantastic battle on Saturday.

Results have been up and down for France, who beat Denmark by 2-1. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 1-0 against Tunisia, before claiming three points in a 3-1 win against Poland. France claimed a modest four wins from their previous 10 matches across all tournaments. They drew two of the games, whilst losing four.
France are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 14 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.4 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 11 goals, and while France claimed a clean sheets one time, they conceded an average of 1.1 goals per match.

Minnesota veteran’s special flag honoring military members unveiled
A special American flag created by a Minnesota veteran and artist to honor military members has been unveiled.
Jeffrey Stenbom’s latest piece in his “Freedom’s Threads” series was unveiled Friday morning at San Antonio International Airport.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS caught up with Stenbom, an Iraq War veteran, earlier this week.
He says it took six months and more than 1,000 hours to create the 25- by 12-foot flag, and used 100 uniforms from all six branches of the military worn in every conflict since World War I. The oldest uniform he used came from 1911 and the newest was from 2021.
While most of the uniforms were donated by USAA employees, Stenbom said a few pieces were his grandfather’s and one was his own.
Additionally, more than one mile of parachute cord was used to create the loom.

The show will now be known as “Star Trek: Discovery.” The ‘Discovery’ part of the title is the name of the new Starship.
Posted below are three clips from the new film, which stars Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, and Karl Urban on McCoy. Justin Lin directs.
The entire cast from the previous two films return for this new entry in the franchise. Joining the cast this time around is Idris Elba as the primarily villain and Sofia Boutella in an unknown alien role.
Four years after the end of the Original Star Trek Series (1966-69), Paramount commissioned “Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973-74) to run Saturday mornings on NBC, with the first episode debuting September 8, 1973.
In the footage (and pics) shown, we get our first glimpse at the new Starfleet uniforms along with our first look at a new alien (played by Sofia Boutella of “Kingsmans: The Secret Service).
Benedict Cumberbatch was recently on “The Graham Norton Show.” Aside from doing a couple spot on voice impressions and talking about his fear of the word “Penguins,” he was asked if he was in the new “Star Trek” film. You’ll have to watch the video below for his answer. Don’t fear, it’s near the beginning. But the whole thing is worth a view. He also answers if he has a part in the new “Star Wars” film.
Original Story * Okay, so I changed my mind and decided to begin the contest with its own separate posting instead of hiding it inside a random posting. I just thought it was more fair that way. And if you’re saying ‘what?’ then don’t worry about it. It’s not important.
Many times since the beginning of this site, I’ve provided downloadable content such as TV and Movie Scripts, Photo Novels, Storyboards and such that you might not find elsewhere on the net. So for the remainder of the week I thought I’d throw up a bunch of various things from older and more popular films that you might not have seen before. Many of these things are in the forms of Press Books, Movie Souvenir Books and an occasional Press Kit or two (all downloadable).
What is a Fotonovel you ask? They are these cool little books with wall to wall photos and word balloons. They are very similar to comic books, only they are using real photos from television episodes or feature films and are presented in a paperback book format. And for some strange reason, I am absolutely fascinated by these things.

CTC: October 2014: high fives for Canada travel.
05-Jan-2015 CTC’s overseas markets drove upward momentum with a fifth consecutive month of double-digit growth in visitors to Canada, says new CTC Tourism Snapshot.
For travellers, there was no better place to be than Canada in October 2014. The mercury may have been falling, but there was a sharp rise on the traveller scale: 1.3 million international visitors made Canada their vacation destination, a robust 9% year-on-year rise, according to the latest Tourism Snapshot from the Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC)’s Research department.
More vital statistics:
- Year-to-date October 2014, Canada has welcomed 15.2 million international visitors, a 3% increase over the same period in 2013.
- CTC’s overseas markets were the trailblazers for the fifth month in a row, enticing 15% more travellers to Canada in October 2014.
- October was an auspicious month for five CTC overseas markets—Australia, China, France, India and South Korea—which enjoyed their highest-ever level of visitors.
- The US market soared into the stratosphere in October 2014: just over 900,000 Americans headed north over the 49th parallel, a 7% surge over October 2013.
- Arrivals by air (9%), other modes of transport (8%) and autos (5%) all played their part in fuelling the strong American uptick.
- The Mexico market goes from strength to strength. In October, it registered an impressive 25% increase in travellers to Canada.
- Elsewhere in Latin America, the Brazil market was reinvigorated by an 18% boost in traveller numbers to Canada.
- CTC’s European markets had a ruddy glow in October 2014, with the UK (9%), France (9%) and Germany (1%) all notching increases in visitors to Canada.
- The China market continued to hit the accelerator in October 2014, yielding an astonishing 36% surge in visitors to Canada, but South Korea (31%) is hot on its heels in Asia.
- CTC’s secondary markets continued to perform strongly in October 2014: traveller numbers to Canada rose from Taiwan (25%), Hong Kong (17%), Italy (15%), Switzerland (11%), Spain (7%) and the Netherlands (2%).
- Canadians took 2.4 million trips abroad in October 2014, a 2% year-on-year rise.
- Year-to-date October 2014, Canadians have taken 28.8 million outbound trips, 2% more than the same period in 2013.
- Current economic conditions were preying on Canadian consumers’ minds in October 2014. The Index of Consumer Confidence, released by The Conference Board of Canada, dropped 3.9 points to a total of 84.
- South of the border, Americans were wracked by indecision over their futures. The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index dipped 0.3 points to 88.7.
The Tourism Snapshot examines statistics and travel trends up to Oct. 31, 2014, in CTC’s—and partners’—key global markets.

“The Government You Elect Is The Government You Deserve.”
Forty three years ago this week the Watergate Saturday Night Massacre occurred. Most of us forget the details surrounding Watergate, but it has stayed alive for me because I was privileged to work for Archibald Cox, one of the main players, and a man who took seriously his sacred honor when he went to serve in Washington. On this anniversary of the massacre I have to wonder if there are any people of honor in our government today.
“One of the most controversial episodes of the Watergate scandal, the so-called “Saturday Night Massacre” came on October 20, 1973, when embattled President Richard Nixon fired Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and accepted the resignations of Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus.
The “massacre” stemmed from an inquiry into the notorious June 1972 break-in at the Watergate complex, in which five Nixon operatives were caught trying to bug the Democratic National Committee headquarters. Archibald Cox, a Harvard law professor and former U.S. Solicitor General, was tapped to investigate the incident in May 1973. ( I personally came to know Archibald Cox as a true man of honor). He soon clashed with the White House over Nixon’s refusal to release over 10 hours of secret Oval Office recordings, some of which implicated the president in the break-in. On October 20, 1973, in an unprecedented show of executive power, Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus to fire Cox, but both men refused and resigned their posts in protest. The role of attorney general then fell to Solicitor General Robert Bork, who reluctantly complied with Nixon’s request and dismissed Cox. Less than a half hour later, the White House dispatched FBI agents to close off the offices of the Special Prosecutor, Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General.
Nixon’s attack on his own Justice Department came with grave consequences. More than 50,000 concerned citizens sent telegrams to Washington, and 21 members of Congress introduced resolutions calling for Nixon’s impeachment. In the face of overwhelming protest, Nixon relented and appointed Leon Jaworski as the new Watergate prosecutor. Jaworski resumed the investigation and eventually secured the release of the Oval Office recordings in July 1974, when the Supreme Court ruled the tapes did not fall under executive privilege. Faced with the so-called “Smoking Gun” of his involvement in Watergate, Nixon resigned the presidency on August 8, 1974.”
What was the Saturday Night Massacre?
DECEMBER 4, 2013 By Evan Andrews
Given the history of ‘Watergate’ and the ‘Saturday Night Massacre’ one would hope our politicians would have learned from history. However, when faced with the abuse of power by our top elected and appointed officials, the Congress has not exercised their Constitutional authority. Case in point: The IRS scandal of working against Americans purely because of their political beliefs. Those illegal pursuits held no one accountable. The FBI is now a political pawn finding no one guilty of anything but ‘poor judgment’ while others have been put into jail for less than that. No Special Prosecutors. Hearings where answers are merely, “I don’t recall”, “I can’t answer that…” or the people being called before Congress pleading the 5th. If today’s political climate had been the same during Nixon’s Presidency Watergate, Nixon would not have needed to resign.
Just look at what has transpired in the last year. We have a woman running for office who seems to outsmart us all and ‘gets in front’ of any disaster to her personally or to ‘her’ DNC. The Country is accepting and we just roll our eyes. Further, if you look at her history and everything that points to her, we can wonder where we, as a country have gone wrong. Acceptance of skirting the law, skirting the basic fibers of morality of our country we all are going into the abyss where anything and everything does not shock us anymore!
In the 1970s the Democrats held the Congress and had the power to bring about the near impeachment of a Republican President. Americans were shocked that a President had overstepped his powers. Not so today. Today, even though the President has tread into waters that should not belong to him, nothing is done. It is ironic that the first article of impeachment against Nixon was for using the IRS for political purposes. During the time of this current administration the IRS suppressed the rights of conservative groups, the official in charge of the IRS operation pleaded the fifth, and retired with full pension. Proof is an arm’s length away and nothing ties the President to any wrongdoing. He claims that he learns about these abuses ‘in the news like everyone else’!! Remember………..Today, the IRS, the FBI and the entire Justice Department, are becoming institutions of the political left. There are clear abuses and nothing is done. No one is fired. Apart from Senate hearings, the ‘demands’ of documents, emails, etc. is ignored with no repercussions. The answer is ‘that’s politics’! We are not shocked about anything. Do we not have people of honor in our government today who would rather resign than break the sacred trust placed in them when they swore to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”.
We have sunk low and I fear we have lost what this country was built on. Yes, corruptness has been within politics since Washington became our President. However, we have sunk to a new low when our Supreme Court Justices want to give us their political bias and their views on candidates running for the highest office of the land rather than deciding on the merits of cases brought before them reciting the Constitution as the reason for their decisions. Justice Ginsburg is the prime example and her comment about moving out of the country if Trump is elected. Apology not accepted.
Today, we have two candidates running for President, who, in my opinion are unfit for the office. In my opinion, neither person will do our country good. Hard to swallow that one is better than the other. I think back and see 17 total people standing on a stage and many, unfortunately for them, were politicians. It is for that reason the people of this country brought forward a Republican who is NOT a politician. We, I believe, as a country were tired of it all. We were tired of the corruption. We were tired of the political elite who pass legislation but do not live by those very laws. Tired of the PACS, tired of the lies and just plain tired. So, here is a man who is not up to the task. And we have a woman who has been in politics her entire adult life who has used the media and is the very result of years of party politics and living above the law.
I keep thinking what Thomas Jefferson said: Many days it keeps me sane.
‘The Government You Elect Is The Government You Deserve.”
—I had the privilege of working for Archibald Cox the year that he returned post Watergate to Harvard Law School to teach. He was a humble man with a clear sense of right and wrong. He was kind, sensitive to others, shy, a hard worker and who seemed to have a great love of family. A man of greatness. A true PROFILE IN COURAGE. As he was humbled, I was also humbled working for him and sitting in his office watching his great mind think of the words he was about to dictate. A man of greatness at work. He was the bright spot out of the Watergate scandal.
Years after I left Cambridge, my husband and I went to a fundraiser in Phoenix for Common Cause and Archibald Cox was the Co-Chairman. What a gracious man he was and I remember he said to me that he remembered me with fondness and my days working for him.
I ask you who stands among us today as a man of greatness who would fight against the political elite because of the immorality and the illegality of it all? Who, also, would refuse to fire a man because it was just wrong despite a President’s orders? Attorney General Elliot Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus did. More than that they were honorable enough to resign. Cox, Ruckelshaus and Richardson. Men that I can admire. Imagine that today?
GOOD LUCK AMERICA. Scary times.

The proposed rule will not have an adverse impact on jobs. The proposed rule amends Part 324 of 12 NYCRR, known as the Medical Treatment Guidelines, and establishes the necessary processes to support the use of such guidelines.
The rule does not eliminate any existing process, procedure, or program. While the amendment to the Medical Treatment Guidelines adopted in 2010 should reduce medical disputes, including the need for prior approval for special services two procedures and for treatment consistent with the carpal tunnel syndrome Guidelined, such reductions will not result in an adverse impact on jobs.
