The didgeridoo is the instrument most associated with aboriginal Australian culture, predating the arrival of British colonialists by centuries. The instrument’s unique drone is immediately recognizable, but apparently the instrument by itself isn’t quite so easy to pick out.
A man in Tulsa was shot by a security guard stationed at a QuikTrip after waving the didgeridoo at the guard last week.
According to Tulsa World, a fight broke out inside the store and spilled out into the parking lot, and the security guard pulled the trigger on the man after he waved the didgeridoo — originally identified as a club — at the guard while also holding a knife.
The man was shot several times in the groin, which makes it an even worse evening than your casual “get shot” kind of night.
Witnesses told police that the suspect gave the knife to a homeless person before authorities arrived. The security guard was not charged in the shooting because security footage corroborated his claim of self-defense.
It’s easy to see why the didgeridoo was identified as a club because there were no dulcet tunes emanating from the instrument. Perhaps if the suspect had played the didgeridoo instead of swinging it around wildly, he could’ve avoided being shot.
It should serve as a reminder that the next time you’re in a gas station fight with a didgeridoo in hand, start blowing and you’ll quickly get everyone to calm down because it’s impossible to be angry with all that droning going on. That’s why it’s the perfect instrument for a bong circle.


It’s no secret that I love a marquee wedding. They really do offer a blank canvas (no pun intended) for couples wanting something a little more bespoke. But building a marquee isn’t a straightforward task. I’ve been on site for days, whilst teams of guys erect these incredible structures and then pull them down, ready to do it all over again the following week. From one-use carpets and power-hungry lighting, it’s easy to see how marquees could be un-environmentally friendly.
One of my favourite companies to work with is PapaKåta, who are the exclusive providers of Sperry tents and the leading Tipi company in the UK. So, I asked them what steps they are taking to become more sustainable.
Most marquee carpets are used once and then go straight to landfill… not PapaKåta’s. We use a coir effect matting (really unique, stylish and highly durable). Following an event, the matting is washed using recycled water and it’s ready to use again and again.
PapaKåta founders Amanda and Richard Monaghan made the astute decision to work with both Tentipi Tipis and Sperry® Tents. Both companies work with naturally formed materials, handmade to the highest specification. The wooden poles that create the structural supports within the tents are sustainably harvested to minimise the impact on the environment, as well as to future proof the business.
We’ve made the decision to swap to LED bulbs. LED bulbs are much more efficient (and effective) than florescent and incandescent lights, requiring less energy and therefore demand from power plants, decreasing greenhouse emissions. Importantly, there are also less breakages with LED bulbs and therefore much less waste at each and every event.
Even at PapaKåta’s home in York, we are aware of making small changes; things like keeping our warehouse lighting to a minimum, where possible being paperless – less printing and waste, and of course recycling the many milk cartons and diet coke cans essential for the working day of event planning!!!!!
We’re are moving away from gas guzzling older 4×4’s and replacing vehicles with those equipped with AdBlue in order to reduce the negative impact that mono-nitrogen oxide has on the environment.
The classic… location, location, location. There is no denying that car emissions are a top contributor to pollution. Although we are improving the way we travel around the UK, choosing a company like PapaKåta, who have bases in Scotland, the North and the South, means your dream supplier is never too far away.
WITH THANKS TO PAPAKATA

This Week’s Milestones: Sept. 22-28, 2019
A historical marker was built in the town of Daet, Camarines Norte province, to commemorate the life and legacy of resistance leader Wenceslao Vinzons.
Born in Indan (now named Vinzons after him) in Camarines Norte, Vinzons was a lawyer and politician who was the youngest delegate to the constitutional convention of 1934.
He was also the first editor of the Philippine Collegian, the official student publication of the University of the Philippines. Vinzons is best known as a guerilla leader.
He organized the first guerilla unit in Bicol, the Citizen’s Army, and his own guerilla unit during World War II, according to the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.
Sept. 28, 2016
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources stopped an alleged illegal treasure hunting activity at a coral rock formation near the Paoay sand dunes in Barangay Masintoc in Ilocos Norte province.
The operation was stopped by authorities because the excavation site, which was estimated to be 17 meters deep, did not have a permit from the local government.
The team of hunters showed only a photocopy of a supposed treasure hunting permit, but did not show any excavation permit.

Amazing hotel, very close to the beach. Staff are very helpful.
TEAM SOV & Reception team are very good people, they really give personnel touch and care. All the very best. Regards /Gattu Rambhav
Bed is nice. It has Chinese, indian , and Italian restaurants. Chinese and Indian are excellent. Breakfast is less than expected. Location is far from city center, though. Overall it’s ideal if you come for conference at the hotel itself.
Clean rooms, updated and renovated. Location is excellent.
Nice hotel close to beach. The staff were very friendly. Mr. Jitu at reception
Hotel staff were very helpful and extremely courteous. Housekeeping staff members especially Akshay and Ankush ensured that I had everything I needed for my stay. They were also helpful in providing the local Mumbai information. All in all a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

Piston and Engine parts ... for the TY 250 mono: no problem in Europe, the 350 wasn't much sold in Europe here parts for this model are not so easy to get.
To the question between the TY250 mono and the TY350 mono made in the mid 80's to end 80's.
If you can get the 250cc TY mono, the 250cc is for putting around but also for really challenging obstacles miles better.
The 350cc engine might have more grunth but it doesn't feel so, the 250cc engine is much more related to the throttle then the 350cc, still soft as most bikes of that era but will build up momentum and power really quick if in need while the 350 engine - due to the bigger masses - not have got in the "stockings" while the 250cc is already in boots.
As a hint all championship and from Yamaha equipped riders rode the 250cc in Europe:

More since 2009 began Intel Work in a formula that includes Processors Quad-core processors Core i5 andCore i7 processing intensities and various prices.
The improvement that has been made from generation to generation since the launch of the Sandy Bridge processors, which is remembered as the immortal 2000 series, is relatively small. It's no secret that since they came into the world Core i5 2500K andCore i7 2600K, it has become increasingly difficult to defeat them for certain purposes, especially in gaming.
Right, Core i7 6700K andCore Last year i7 7700K are the fastest gaming processors you can get, and there will be some games that differ from processors Sandy Bridge Could reach tens of percent, but this was not always the case.
These differences grow much more when you get discounted processors such as Pentium andCore i3. Where two processing cores are maintained but the action frequencies and architectural improvements become processor-like Core i3 7100 3.9Ghz significantly strengthen from-Core i3 2100 3.1Ghz. From my employers Pentium Like the simple G620 we have advanced a lot to G4560 at 3.5GHz speed with high processing improvements and HyperThreading addition to the parallel processing is significantly faster.
Upgrade processor from one generation to another generation in the core series of Intel He was always accompanied by serious doubts from the user. You should always upgrade to a panel, too זיכרון, And then the user wonders how much it will all really be worth him and if he wants to move forward and justify the investment he will have to go for the fastest in the new series.
In 2017 world desktop processors woke to thunder when the manufacturer decided to processors AMD To come out with a series that gives it all, without compromises and technological constraints. Ryzen processors first brought Processors Owners of 8 processing cores to the desktop market and did so at a fair price.
S programs Intel Stronger mainstream processors were on the table, and we certainly would have accepted them but it is doubtful whether this year. Well, Intel She also wakes up, runs the programs at an accelerated pace and what better way to have than with strong coffee.
Meet the Coffee Lake family
To date, the Coffee Lake family of Intel Includes six models from Core i3 to Core i7. For the first time, Core i3 processors are greatly enhanced and become processors with complete processing kernel 4. So far, Processors These contained 2 cores only and HyperThreading technology that simulates two more for general processing assistance.
Core i3 processors are 8100 and 8350K models, both of which contain 6 megabytes of cache and DDR4 memory support up to 2400 MHz. The main differences between the two are the frequency of operation and the possibility of executing the speed (K is an open symbol for the product to perform the quickening). These processors do not include turbo function Intel Thus operating at their stated maximum frequency, 3.6 and 4.0 GHz respectively.
These are not low operating frequencies at all and they will place the pair of processors Core i3 New Direct - Faced Processors Core i5 have previous processing power, such as Core i5 7500 andCore i7 7600K.
Core i5 processors are also leaping into power and becoming first-time cores. The standard model is Core i5 8400 and the advanced is Core i5 8600K which also contains the option to perform the fast. The operating frequencies are 2.8 and 3.6 GHz respectively. These processors do not have the HyperThreading function and thus differ from the Core i7 processors because they contain this power. You have to understand, there is room in the market for more expensive processors and to the extent that they contain this function, they will cancel the feasibility of Processors More precious than them.
Core Lake i7 processors include two models as well, at least as of now. Core i7 8700 and Core i7 8700K are two Processors With an operating frequency of 3.7 and 3.2 GHz respectively, and huge turbocharged frequencies of 4.7 and 4.6 GHz respectively.
These are without doubt the highest frequencies seen in my work Core i7 from the box, and the best part is that here they contain six processing cores together with the HyperThreading function. זיכרון The cache climbs from 8 megabytes in the previous generation to 12 megabytes. The ratio between זיכרון Cache to kernel remains 1.5 megabytes.
In this review we will look at the new LGA1151 platform Intel, For you LGA1151-v2 along with the new chipsets and everything needed to pick up such a system. The processors participating in the audit are theCore i7 8700K andCore i5 8400. One represents the best of the bracket, the other represents the contender for the king performance ratio to the new shekel.
The processor Core i7 8700K is a processor with 6 cores and 12 capillaries that reaches a default frequency of 3.7 GHz. Its turbo frequency is 4.7 GHz when Core Individual is in an effort. The processor heat envelope is only 95 watts in all of these modes.
The cache is 12 megabyte of third level and 1.5 of second level. This processor as the rest of the series is manufactured in 14 's advanced nm process Intel. This process has been in use for about three years and was first introduced in Broadwell series processors such as Core i7 Special 5775C.
The processor core is Intel UHD 630. This is actually the same graphics core we knew as HD 630 but Intel had a great desire to emphasize support for 4K content and therefore made it UHD. The graphic ability is the same as what you knew in processors like Core i7 7700K. This is not particularly bad, certainly not in the same production process. This core does what it takes to accelerate content and basic display. Do not expect to play more than simple indie games and games browser עם Core Graphically like this, maybe a little Minecraft. Processor price is 359 dollars, like 7700K so far.
This is how the processor looks through a microscope. With your permission, a small tour. What you see in yellow in the center are the six processing units that the processor contains, as well as the family Core i5. On the right are models such as the memory controller, the IO controller and other microcontrollers for traffic management. On the left is the graphics core, the UHD 630. What you see in Sandwich between the general processing cores, incidentally, is זיכרון Quick Cache. It is, of course, common to all of them and is therefore less required than it was in the past.
The second and no less interesting processor being tested today is the E-Core i5 8400. This is the first time that Intel has publicly promoted the launch of an 400 series processor Core i5. At first, I too could not help but raise an eyebrow at this decision. "What? Like Core i5 6400 andCore i5 7400? They are really not Intel pride "I said to myself.
This is because these processors have relatively low operating frequencies. For example Core The i5 6400 came at a terrible frequency of only 2.7 GHz, with a turbo that drew all of its cores to the 3 GHz in effort. There have been quite a few cases where even processors Core i3 bypassed it in games due to higher frequency of operation. Core i5 7400 is slightly more likely, with a nominal frequency of 3.0 GHz and turbo of 3.4 all cores.
So, I came up with Core i5 8400 for the exam system with many concerns. "Frequency of 2.8 GHz as a base? Sounds low." Well, later on in the review you will see why I was surprised when I started using this processor and testing it. nothing Core i5 8500, maybe that Core i5 8400 leaves him little room. This processor has only a heat envelope of 65 watts, to remind you.


What is a BTU and Why Do I Care?
Who knew that one day you would be here – in the market for a new air conditioner, reading a blog post about BTU and why it’s relevant to you. Those three letters have a significant meaning for your air conditioner and how efficiently it’s cooling your home. Let’s get into it!
What does BTU stand for?
BTU is an acronym standing for British Thermal Unit. Basically, it measures energy. A BTU rating indicates the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water by one degree fahrenheit. It is frequently used surrounding the topic of heating and air conditioning units.
So what does this mean for your HVAC system?
Every HVAC unit comes with a BTU rating, which lets people know the power and capability of the unit. BTU’s measure the amount of energy required to heat a pound of water, which makes sense regarding a heating unit. So when it comes to an air conditioner, how does it relate? Well, AC units remove heat from the air and circulate cool air back into the space. So instead of measuring how much heat is being added to your home, it measures the heat that is being removed.
How many BTUs will your home need?
The correct unit size doesn’t always mean dimensions, but does include choosing a unit with the best BTU rating for your particular needs. The first thing you’ll need to take note of is your home’s square footage. There are simple, free resources online with charts to show how many BTUs are required for the amount of space you have. You’ll also need to take the height of your ceilings into account, but the typical assumption is for homes with 8-foot high ceilings.
Other factors to take into account are things like your home’s insulation, where it’s located, and your floor plans/layout. The range of BTUs needed for your space will depend on these various factors and your personal needs. At the end of the day, what you don’t want is for your unit to constantly be running, which can cause faster wear and tear and higher utility bills.
If you’re ready to chat BTUs and which units would work best for your space, give our comfort specialists a call!

Durham Tech students embrace Nicaraguan New Year, explore health care
As the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, 15 students from Durham Technical Community College took a step back from a cracking bonfire in Nicaragua as “Año Viejo,” a large handmade doll stuffed with firecrackers, was thrown into the fire to represent the shedding of negativity from the past year.
“We waited with anticipation for the gunpowder to go off. It could not have been more perfect,” said Viviana Reyna, 19. “Everything was incredibly breathtaking and wonderful. My favorite part was the bonfire because it was a beautiful time to be involved in Nicaraguan tradition.”
It was second night of Durham Tech’s Comparative Health and Cultural Travel Program in Nicaragua, and it set the tone for what has been described as a life-changing experience.
One day earlier, Durham Tech students and one faculty member boarded a flight to explore the similarities and differences between health care in Nicaragua and health care in the United States.
In partnership with Sister Communities of San Ramon, a nonprofit ecotourism organization in Durham, students were led through the country with an itinerary that ranged from working on a coffee farm and making corn tortillas to visiting a live volcano and children’s hospitals.
“I found it especially rewarding that Sister Communities of San Ramon planned the entire experience around the learning outcomes we built as educators,” said Stephanie Dawson, faculty sponsor and Durham Tech instructor. “There was a great balance of experiences that focused on learning about Nicaraguan health care as well as cultural immersion and touristy fun.”
For most of their stay, students were divided into groups of three and placed with host families to gain firsthand experience of “Nica” life, as the locals call it.
“The most impactful part of our travels was having the opportunity to live with a Nicaraguan host family,” Dawson said. “Students spent four days and nights living with their new families, sharing living areas, eating meals with them, and learning about the warmth and generosity of their culture.”
Students raved about this opportunity.
“I loved living with another family. They were so kind to us,” said Mi Joi White, 20. “You’re knee deep in the experience when you live with a host family.”
“My host family was the most meaningful part of the entire experience,” said Angel Askew, 27. “I was able to live like I was a Nicaraguan. They cooked for us and washed our clothes. They made us feel like we were really a part of their family.”
The first of three stops was an hour drive to historic Granada, where the group enjoyed leisure activities like hiking, shopping, sunset boat tours, pottery lessons, and yoga classes overlooking the mountains.
“This was my first time out of the country, and it was so beautiful,” said Angel Askew, 27. “I felt like I was in a painting.”
The next stop was a three hour drive north to Finca Esperanza Verde, an organic coffee farm retreat, where they had the rare opportunity to pick coffee beans that are later roasted at Counter Culture in Durham. The beans are sold by Sister Communities of San Ramon to support sustainable farm workers and directly benefit residents of Nicaragua.
“The coffee farm was a great experience. I really enjoyed picking the beans as a group,” Reyna said. “We learned how they separated the good from the bad, peeled the skin, and prepared them to go to the mill. We took turns grinding the beans. I can truly say it was the best coffee ever.”
From Esperanza Verde they drove a half hour west to their final destination of San Ramon, where they explored health care. The Nicaraguan government guarantees free universal health care for its residents, the biggest contrast to the US, but it is limited in quality and accessibility.
Reyna was moved by the students’ visit to Los Pipitos Center for Children with Disabilities.
“There was a young girl with cerebral palsy that had to be carried everywhere by her parents because there was not enough money to provide her a wheelchair,” Reyna said. “I could not help but think about how simple it is to get a wheelchair in the US. It touched us deeply to see how happy these kids were despite how many needs they had.”
Students later visited La Casa Materna, a short-term residence for high-risk pregnant women, and Santa Fe Clinic, a public health center, before going to Casa del Niño to make natural medicinal products from local plants.
Several students expressed this exploration of Nicaraguan health care validated their career goals.
“Visiting Los Pipitos, La Casa Materna, and Santa Fe reaffirmed my desire to do pediatrics,” Reyna said. “Talking to the children and learning all of the different areas in the hospital there are for pediatrics made me realize how much I loved working to improve the quality of life for children.”
Askew’s desire to pursue nursing also was solidified.
“It made me realize that I’m in the right field because it’s my passion to help people,” Askew said. “Just seeing the children made me want to help people even more.”
Students reported having a new appreciation for other cultures and understand the importance of traveling abroad.
“Traveling abroad really opens your horizon,” White said. “It’s amazing that Durham Tech gives students an opportunity to travel the world.”
The next travel abroad opportunity is July 17-31 to French Canada. Durham Tech students who are interested in this opportunity are welcome to contact Heidi White, Director of International Student Services and Study Abroad in the Center for the Global Learner, at email@example.com or 919-536-7200 x4052 for more information.

Buying a stock at low prices would seem to be a no-brainer, the sure way to guarantee the best returns. However, most stocks that are priced low are down for a reason, and you’ll need to do your homework before buying in. Some of the reasons are generally neutral towards the quality of the company. If a firm issues a new release of shares, to raise capital, the effect may be to dilute the stock and lower the price. Or, a company may get caught up in an economic downturn, and sees its shares fall due to a lack of buyers generally.
Paysign, Inc. (PAYS) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.

Calamine lotion: it actually works better to use aveeno oatmeal bath in the bathtub rather than calamine lotion for itching. This comes in little packages at the drug store. Calamine lotion doesn't mix very well and causes a huge mess .

Happy Election Day, guys. We made it! Here’s something I’ve written to voice some of the frustration I’ve experienced during the Presidential Election of 2016. Remember, what you’re reading is just more discourse thrown out into cyberworld and by no means should you take what I’ve written to be unquestionably true. Read it with a healthy dose of skepticism, as you should with everything out in the world today. So without further ado, here’s my take on 2016.
You hear it all the time.
“Get informed”, “know the candidates on the issues”, “read this article”. Insert link to a completely random website. It’s hard not to get bombarded by political articles and videos while perusing through social media sites and newspapers.
Do you consider yourself to be an informed voter? The data says most likely, yes.
According to a study done by Rasmussen Reports conducted in September of 2013, their model showed that a whopping 83% of American Adults consider themselves to be informed citizens while just 12% admit they are not informed citizens.
It’s difficult to imagine not being informed at this point unless you’ve been living in a World War II bunker a mile under Earth’s surface.
However, the issue at hand is not whether voters are informed. It’s more so an issue of how badly informed and poorly equipped to use the information at our disposal they are, claims Art Carden, Associate Professor of Economics at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama.
I agree in many respects.
In 2012, he advised voters to stay off Facebook and Twitter and pick up a few books instead. We have a duty, Carden argues, to be informed voters and largely ignore the partisan propaganda that repeats “vacuous (or economically illiterate) platitudes for the umpteenth time”.
The same should be said for the 2016 election, an election taking place in a time characterized by clickbait, bad journalism, and biased data.
So what is one to do to become “informed”?
I wanted to find out.
I began this past January by trying my hardest to stay up date on the issues. I read countless books on economics that are far above my head and followed each state’s primary election and three major debates closely. Each day I began my day by reading the political news from NPR, New York Times, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, RealClear Politics, and FiveThirtyEight. I made sure to watch both Fox News and CNN’s headlines. What were the Democrats saying, what were the Independents and Republicans saying? I fact checked rigorously and tapped into what pollsters were saying in Podcasts. I spent an entire day teaching myself how polls work and how each poll determines the outcome of their data. I refused to let my upbringing and socioeconomic factors blind me from seeing the world through another person’s eyes. It’s nothing short of fascinating of everything I’ve learned in eleven months of following the election cycle.
And guess what?
The more I learn, the more I realize how little I truly know.
I am not an expert in economics, social issues, the national debt, and have no concrete plan on how to solve any of America’s problems. There are many schools of thought and methods political parties claim is most effective to make America successful, but historically, before any true results can be seen, a new president is elected or policy remains stuck in political gridlock in Congress.
What shocked me most was learning that often, presidents can be elected based on how the economy did under the previous president- whether or not the president realistically had control over the economy or not. We saw this after Bill Clinton was elected over incumbent president, George H.W. Bush (data from the renowned American Economist, Nate Silver here and here).
Furthermore, I can’t find any NONPARTISAN, raw data to conclusively prove that Keynesian economic policy is superior to Laissez-faire or vice versa. I don’t think there is a perfect answer to this problem as both have reliable evidence for and against them. Economic geniuses tout their preferred solutions, but who am I to determine what’s best for America? Which experts should I trust? I’m a 24 year old English major grad. Dream big.
Over the course of the past year, I’ve taken the “isidewith.com” quiz MULTIPLE times and have gotten highly frustrated trying to figure out what I think is best for America moving forward.
I collapsed into an existential crisis after being asked about whether or not I think fracking is okay or not.
How can we, experts in very little, expect to make an informed decision for the rest of America? I wasn’t an expert on fracking- in fact, who even is?
While my thumb hovered absentmindedly over the Fracking question, I realized I, and no one else, can truly claim they have EVERY solution guaranteed to work for any single issue. To further my personal crisis, I realized the most highly educated voter can vote for the same candidate as someone who decides to choose the candidate based on their hairstyle.
It’s completely and utterly absurd, but it’s part of our democratic system.
We have the freedom to vote for whichever candidate we’d like for based on whichever personal reasons or research we’ve done- whether the reason be we believe everything a certain set of news outlets report or what our own research shows.
That’s why candidates use certain tactics rather than others, they realize they can appeal to a portion of voters through specific tactics- some less noble than others.
Bottom Line? Not all hope is lost, of course. Through my search to become more educated on the issues, I’ve remembered two very important points that align with those of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU):
#1: Use reliable sources.
Remember in high school when you had to use research from scholarly sources and type a bunch of stuff into Easybib? Turns out this isn’t just something that’s valuable in the classroom, it’s something that is extremely important post-graduation. Here are some great links to reputable and informative sites from AASCU.
#2: LISTEN and RESEARCH.
Are you being persuaded through political rhetoric? If the candidate uses political rhetoric to avoid answering a question, your red flag should go up. Learn more about political rhetoric here.
See? Not all hope is lost. Election year is a reminder to all of us that we should strive to educate ourselves and not fall into the trap of only reading headlines. If you already do this, great. I challenge you to truly try to understand those who oppose your worldviews. Why do they think the way they do? What is their socioeconomic status compared to your’s and how does that affect their decision making process? Try not to dismiss others as simply, “dumb” or “crazy”. It’s sometimes hard as hell, but it’s a great mental exercise.
So even though 2016 was a grueling, long year filled with plenty of crazy moments (remember when Ted Cruz appointed Carly Fiorina his VP?) and utter terror at the thought of electing either major party nominee to be the 45th President of the United States, I think it’s time to appreciate our democracy for what it is: imperfect, just like us.
Get out there and vote!
As always, a public disclaimer on my political opinions: I identify as slightly left-of-center and am an Independent voter.

Is it too little, too late in a bid to keep an NFL team from moving?
FOX's Chris Hoenig reports:
Oakland's city council voting late Tuesday night to open negotiations with a group of investors who are looking to build a $1.3 billion football stadium, hoping that will prevent the Raiders from fleeing for Las Vegas.
Mayor Libby Schaaf has already announced a framework of a deal with the group, led by hall of famer and former Raider Ronnie Lott:
(Lott) "Right now we're in an opportunity to do something that a lot of people didn't think we could do."
Raiders owner Mark Davis has said he's committed to attempting a move to Las Vegas, which has already approved a $1.9 billion domed stadium for the team.
NFL and team executives met with Lott's group earlier this week, expressing concerns about how the funding would be divvied up for the Oakland plan.
NFL owners could vote on a potential move as early as January.

SAN JOSE – After scoring 13 runs on Wednesday, the Willow Glen baseball team showed Friday that it can win with station-to-station baseball also.
The Rams clinched their first Blossom Valley Athletic League Mt. Hamilton Division outright title since 2012 with a workmanlike effort, defeating host Leland 3-1.
“Situational baseball is something that we take a lot of pride in. We practice that,” said Willow Glen coach Sam Piraro, whose team won its seventh game in a row Friday. “We want to have ways to manufacture runs.”
The Rams, which ended the season with a 12-2 Mt. Hamilton record, also received good pitching and defense. Davis Miller pitched a seven-hitter with three strikeouts and no walks, and Noah Blom made a diving catch in center field in the sixth inning to take away a possible extra-base hit from Joey Taddie.
“I was being able to locate spots, keeping it down in the zone. They are a good-hitting team. You leave it up in the plate, up in the zone, they are going to hit it,” said Miller.
By winning the Mt. Hamilton title, Willow Glen earned a spot in the Central Coast Section Open Division playoffs. The seeding meeting will be Saturday afternoon.
Willow Glen, which had only five singles in the game, scored the game’s first run without a hit. In the second inning, Matt Miller was hit by a pitch, stole second, moved to third on an error, and scored before Isaac Munoz was tagged out in a rundown between first and second.
Leland, which finished the Mt. Hamilton Division season with a 10-4 record, tied the score in the fourth inning. Carson Yates led off with a single, stole second and scored on a single by Justin Kuhns.But after a double by Trevor Johannes put runners on second and third, Davis Miller retired three straight batters to strand those runners.
Willow Glen broke the tie with two runs in the fifth inning, aided by three of Leland’s four errors in the game. Joey Costantino broke the tie with an RBI single to right field and Davis Miller added another RBI single as the Rams sent eight batters to the plate.
Sal Munoz had two hits to lead Willow Glen, while Yates was 2 for 3 with a run scored.

Description: Music from Austrian Jewish composers forced to leave their homes after the Anschluss in 1938. Gál's relaxed, serene and pastoral sonata from 1941 belies his internment as an "enemy alien" in Britain; Weigl (1940) and Zeisl (1950) are more dramatic in tone and intense in expression (even if only in his first movement for Weigl). Zeisl's consciously foregrounds Jewish melodies while Weigl stays in his usual generalized late Romanticism. All are very attractive and easy to enjoy.

First and Last Name:
We (founders, John & Courtney) are inspired by the urban agriculture movement that is growing across the country, and the pioneering rooftop farmers who have begun paving the path in this industry. As long-time food lovers and sustainable food proponents with shared experience as farmers, restaurant employees, and advocates, we know we have the knowledge and connections to make our vision a reality. We especially enjoy inspiring others with prospect of our roof farm! Growing food and building community in underutilized urban space, while providing multiple environmental benefits! Win, win, win
We aim to be the first commercial rooftop farm in Boston, MA. We will organically grow fruits & vegetables on a 55,000 square foot roof, offering edible and educational evidence that local food systems lead to healthy communities. We will provide produce to community members through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares, to underserved populations through a non-profit partnership, and to Boston restaurants. As a green roof farm, we offer environmental benefits in addition to those of ground-level urban farms, including: lowering the building’s energy usage; absorbing atmospheric CO2; adding pervious surface area to absorb storm water; adding habitat; and reducing black (heat-absorbing) surface area, which mitigates the urban heat island effect.
Our impact is the essence of our business. We increase access to fresh, healthy food for urban residents while also teaching them about urban and rooftop farming. We are planning tours and classes on farming, green roofs, cooking, and preserving food. Our farm also reduces the effects of many urban environmental problems. Our green roof farm lowers energy usage through its insulating and evapotranspirative properties, while absorbing atmospheric carbon. Our farm will also retain stormwater, reducing combined sewer overflows, and it adds green space, reducing the urban heat island effect. As our business and acreage grows we’ll have a greater impact, while also providing green jobs.
We are stepping up to be a leader in urban and rooftop agriculture, helping the sector blossom locally through our produce distribution, educational programming, and a research partnership and information exchange with Tufts University. Our business model involves knitting ourselves into the community fabric, partnering with chefs, neighbors, and aspiring farmers looking to connect to the food system in meaningful ways. Over the next decade as we grow our business from 1 to 10 rooftop acres, improve our growing process, and establish lasting relationships, we'll directly impact local food security with our produce and trainings.
We'll track multiple measures of success. First and foremost is economic viability. We project that cash from our activities will sustain operations and allow for expansion, following a business model we've developed with roof farmers and financial planners. A second, yet related, success measure is our customer's happiness, tracked and measured as repeat customers over time. Finally, we'll measure our community impact by engaging with Tufts researchers to determine the stormwater we absorb, the energy we save our building, and the pounds of food we're able to provide. Reporting will be continuous, through our social media accounts and website.
The installation of cutting-edge agricultural green roof technology constitutes our largest expense. As a farm with a small return on investment, we are first pursuing sources such as crowdfunding and this to build our financial foundation, instead of seeking only traditional business investors and lenders. This $50,000 represents about 1/5 of our start-up costs. Having this piece secured will help us to install the farm, set up relationships with vendors, and attract additional funders, lenders and investors who want to see a certain threshold of capital raised before they buy in.

Background In the developed countries, uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Little is known about the epidemiological and geographical distribution of uveal melanoma in Canada.
Methods To determine the incidence patterns and geographical distribution of uveal melanoma cases in Canada, we conducted the first comprehensive, population-based national study of this malignancy across all Canadian provinces and territories during 1992–2010 years. We examined two independent population-based registries: the Canadian Cancer Registry and Le Registre Québécois du Cancer using corresponding International Classification of Diseases for Oncology-3rd edition codes for all histological subtypes of uveal melanoma.
Results We report that 2215 patients were diagnosed with uveal melanoma, of which 52.1% were males. The average -annual incidence rate of uveal melanoma in Canada was 3.75 cases per million individuals per year (95% CI 3.60 to 3.91). Overall, we report a steady increase in uveal melanoma incidence with an annual increase of 0.074 cases per million individuals per year. Significant differences in the incidence rates of uveal melanoma between Canadian provinces and territories were noted, where the highest crude incidence was in British Columbia and Saskatchewan with rates of 6.38 and 5.47 cases per million individuals per year, respectively.
Conclusions This work, for the first time, defines the disease burden of uveal melanoma in Canada and highlights important longitudinal, geographical and spatial differences in the distribution of uveal melanoma in Canada.

Background/Aim Molecular prognostication provides clinically applicable prognostic information for patients with uveal melanoma. Most ocular oncologists recommend intensive metastatic surveillance for patients with high-risk tumours. However, socioeconomic variables may limit a patient’s ability to adhere to recommended surveillance. We aim to analyse socioeconomic data from patients with uveal melanoma who underwent molecular prognostication to determine which variables influence adherence.
Methods This was a retrospective review of 107 consecutive patients who were diagnosed and treated for uveal melanoma from January 2014 to June 2015. Patients were categorised into low/unknown risk and high risk for metastasis. The low-risk group was followed with hepatic ultrasonography every 6 months. The high-risk group was followed with more frequent hepatic imaging or incorporation of hepatic CT/MRI into the surveillance protocol. Adherence to surveillance recommendations was recorded for the first 2 years following primary treatment. Socioeconomic data including age at diagnosis, baseline systemic staging, gene expression profile status, marital status, insurance, distance of primary residence, median household income and Charlson Comorbidity Index score were recorded. Frequency/modality of imaging and metastatic status were also recorded.
Results High-risk patients were more likely to develop metastasis than low-risk/unknown-risk patients (p<0.001). High-risk patients were more likely to have scans at baseline (p=0.008) and to have expected scans relative to low-risk/unknown-risk patients (p<0.001). There was no significant relationship between the likelihood of adhering to recommended surveillance and the other variables analysed.
Conclusions Prognostic risk level is a significant predictor of surveillance and remains significant after adjustment for socioeconomic variables. Adherence to surveillance recommendations for high-risk patients may translate into improved survival.

Background/aim To report the outcomes of retinoblastoma group E eyes with neovascular glaucoma (NVG) treated conservatively with intravenous chemotherapy and investigate factors associated with eye salvage and secondary enucleation.
Methods This is a retrospective, comparative, interventional case series. The outcome measures were life salvage, eye salvage and vision salvage.
Results Of the 37 eyes managed by intravenous chemotherapy, secondary enucleation was necessary in 21 eyes (group 1) and eye salvage was possible in 16 eyes (group 2). A comparison of both groups revealed significant difference with group 1 demonstrating greater duration of symptoms (18.8 weeks vs 5.4 weeks, p=0.016), greater intraocular pressure (IOP) at presentation (36 mm Hg vs 30 mm Hg, p=0.044), greater increase in corneal diameter (1.52 mm vs 0.50 mm, p=0.013) and the presence of sterile orbital cellulitis (9 vs 1, p=0.023). Further, the risk factors for secondary enucleation by univariate analysis were duration of symptoms >10 weeks (p=0.003), presenting IOP >26 mm Hg (p=0.045), buphthalmos (p=0.014) and sterile orbital cellulitis (p=0.023) and by multivariate analysis were age at presentation >6 months (p=0.012) and buphthalmos (p=0.017). At a mean follow-up of 20.5 months, none of the patients in either group developed systemic metastasis.
Conclusion For retinoblastoma group E eyes presenting with NVG, the chance of eye salvage with intravenous chemotherapy is better when the age at diagnosis is <6 months, duration of symptoms is <10 weeks, IOP is <26 mm Hg, and in the absence buphthalmos and sterile orbital inflammation.

Brazilian blues/rock guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Artur Menezes impresses on every level on his new record Fading Away, a super-hot eight-song set that comes out October 30th, 2020 on the VizzTone imprint. Produced by Josh Smith, the album features guest appearances by Smith as well as Joe Bonamassa. Menezes is a superior guitar slinger who combines vintage influences with his own contemporary style of songwriting that draws from soul, modern rock, and his personal take on blues-related music in the 21st Century. He uses complex arrangements, layered guitars, and background vocal tracks to set himself apart from the competition and creates a musical world with them that surpasses all expectations.
Fading Away is Artur’s fifth album, his second in the US, and is the sort of career-making effort that leads artists to the big time. Already, Menezes has won the Gibson/Albert King Award for Best Guitarist at the Blues Foundation’s 2018 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, where he also took third place in the overall competition. In 2019 he was the Grand Prize Winner in a contest promoted by Ernie Ball, winning the opportunity to perform at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival. He clearly has the skills that are required to get the right ears listening to him and this new record is likely to blow up everywhere great music is played. Menezes is a triple threat performer who does it all in an original style that’s respectful to the past but lives fully in the here and now.
Menezes leads us off with his title track “Fading Away.” The song starts with a heavy Hendrix/SRV guitar groove but quickly shifts into a more melodic verse and chorus. Artur’s vocals are smooth and easy and move us toward his crunchy guitar solo in the tune’s middle section. All this adds up to a memorable and accessible cut that will keep you listening from beginning to end. “Devil’s Own” is next and features a scary movie/sound effect intro and then turns into a slow and solid blues/rock number with a “Dazed and Confused” vibe. Menezes tells us a dramatic story here with his words and music and pulls so much emotion out of himself that every second of it seems tortured and real.
Listen to “Come On”
“Come On” is a ripping rock song that shows Menezes in top form and also features a guest appearance from Joe Bonamassa. Joe is his usual high-octane self when his solo comes in after Artur works out on a slower, half-time break and the combination of the two players is positively combustible. It’s one of the most happening moments captured on Fading Away and will have fans of hot guitar work smashing the “repeat” button.
Producer Josh Smith gets his turn to shine on the atmospherically funky “Free At Last.” Smith is an epic player in his own right and gives this more involved and intricate track all his soul has to give. The songwriting here is fresh and free of genre cliches, as well, which elevates the listening experience to an even higher place. Menezes unquestionably has his writing game on point and never comes off as typical or generic.
There are only eight songs on Fading Away but each one swings for the fences and gets there. Listen all the way through to catch the mellowness of “Until I Can See” and the roughed-up autobiographical closer “Green Card Blues.” Artur Menezes clearly has a way about him and seems destined for continually bigger things. Fading Away is a powerful statement of his intentions and abilities and will launch him to the top of the blues/rock universe. Don’t miss it.

Measles Count in U.S. This Year Already Exceeds Total for All of 2018
Samara Heisz / iStock / Getty Images Plus
The number of U.S. measles cases through the first three months of this year has surpassed the amount for all of last year, according to a recent report published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Since Jan. 1 of this year, there have been 387 reported cases in 15 states — the second greatest number of cases in the country since measles was declared eliminated in 2000. Last year, there were 372.
In a given year, the CDC reports that an uptick in measles cases can occur for a variety of reasons, such as an increase of travelers who get measles abroad or the spread of measles within unvaccinated communities at home. In both cases, people who opt out of receiving their vaccinations help facilitate the dangerous spread of a disease responsible for as many as 2.5 million deaths in a given year.
Dubbed a “regression in modern medicine,” recent trends in so-called antivaxxers refusing to vaccinate their children citing religious or philosophical concerns have led to the increase in the spread of infectious diseases, specifically MMR. (Despite the often-cited concern, vaccinations do not cause autism in young children.)
So far this year, six separate outbreaks have occurred in New York, Washington, California and New Jersey. Just last month, a county in New York announced an emergency ban on unvaccinated children from entering enclosed public spaces for 30 days or until unvaccinated children were administered with the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Confirmed cases have also been reported in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon and Texas.
The spread of measles and other diseases is curtailed by a concept known as herd immunity whereby a certain percentage of any given population is vaccinated in order to protect the broader population from contacting diseases. A highly contagious disease like MMR, which is spread through coughing and sneezing, requires between 90 and 95 percent of the population to be vaccinated. By having so much of the population vaccinated, it protects those who cannot be vaccinated for health concerns, such as children too young to receive their vaccinations, pregnant woman or immunosuppressant communities.
But when you have large communities that opt out of vaccinating, outbreaks occur. This was the case in Rockland County, New York where there are 158 confirmed reported cases of measles and around 17 percent of the population having received their MMR vaccination as of April 2.
There is no specific antiviral treatment for measles and the virus can be deadly once contracted, particularly in children.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Even though he turned 50 last summer and has been a Hollywood star for three decades, Tom Cruise says he still has fun making movies.
Cruise was in Seoul on Thursday to promote "Jack Reacher," a thriller adapting Lee Child's novel "One Shot," part of the best-selling series about a mysterious ex-military investigator.
Appearing at a news conference with director Christopher McQuarrie and co-star Rosamund Pike, Cruise said, "It was so much fun making the film."
Pike, who played Bond girl Miranda Frost in "Die Another Day" in 2002, said she and Cruise enjoyed good on-screen chemistry — something "she never thought" she'd say.
It was Cruise's fifth trip to South Korea, where "Jack Reacher" opens next Thursday. Cruise was in Tokyo on Wednesday for the film's Japan premiere.

A credit freeze, which is also sometimes called a security freeze, is a way of locking down your credit reports, which makes it nearly impossible for criminals to open new accounts in your name. This is because most creditors need to look at those reports to decide whether to extend credit to you.
We here at Team Clark know that thousands of you have already frozen your credit or are considering it, in part because of all of the questions we get from people related to credit freezes. Chief among those questions is: “Can freezing my credit hurt my credit score?”
Does Freezing Your Credit Hurt Your Credit Score?
Freezing your credit has no direct impact on your credit score. It certainly will not lower it. Indirectly, freezing your credit can actually help improve your credit score (or at least keep it from dropping), because it prevents unwanted credit lines from being opened in your name.
A credit freeze also does not “freeze” your credit score. It will continue to rise and fall depending on how responsible you are with your credit.
What a Credit Freeze Will Not Do
There are some other important things that freezing your credit will not change according to the Federal Trade Commission:
- It won’t prevent you from getting your free annual credit report.
- It won’t prevent you from opening new accounts yourself, applying for a job, renting an apartment, or getting insurance. However, to do any of these things you may need to lift the freeze temporarily and place it again when you’re finished accessing your credit. You can do all of this for free.
- It won’t stop criminals from accessing your existing accounts, so you need to continue to keep a close eye on your statements for fraudulent activity. The easiest way to monitor your accounts is to sign up for free credit monitoring with Credit Karma or Credit Sesame. (Note: You’ll have to thaw your credit temporarily to sign up for credit monitoring.)
- Freezing your credit won’t automatically stop you from getting pre-screened credit offers. Call 888-5OPTOUT (888-567-8688) or go to OptOutPrescreen.com to stop those offers.
When it comes to freezing your credit, there really isn’t any downside, and it won’t impact your credit score.
Even lifting the freeze when you need to access your credit and freezing it again takes mere minutes. And that’s certainly worth it for the peace of mind of knowing you’re protected from criminals who could ruin your financial life.

At the community meeting about the Active Transportation Plan last Saturday, residents who live along Jefferson Road near Sunset said traffic regularly zips by at 45 and 50 mph heading toward Clover St. Many of them don’t even bother sitting on their porches because it’s too darn loud. The village’s traffic calming study clocked the average speed outbound on Monroe between Main and the village line (where 20K vehicles traverse each day) at 38 mph, with 85% of the drivers going 44 mph.
Think 40 mph is reasonable? Let’s break that down.
The higher the vehicle speed, the greater the risk to a pedestrian or cyclist. Especially when speeds are above 30 mph. A pedestrian has a 90% chance of survival if he or she is hit by a car going 20 mph. At 40 mph? Only a 10% chance. That risk is heightened if that pedestrian is a child or older person.Let’s take it to a scarier place and examine why it’s so much deadlier at speeds above 30mph:
The human body can only take so much. Our organs, bones, skin and skull are not designed to land unbroken and unbattered after an impact with a vehicle at high speeds. And 30 mph is that threshold.
“The laws of physics and human anatomy translate to 30 mph being far deadlier than 25 mph. The difference in velocity translates to the car lifting pedestrians off the ground, and creating traumatic impacts against vital areas like the head.”
According to AAA, the median impact speed for pedestrian fatalities (not injuries) in this country is 35 mph, which makes sense given that our bodies just can’t take higher speeds. Unfortunately, we know 35 mph and higher are speeds common on our village streets.
A 13 year-old was injured in a recent hit and run on Main St. It was an alarming reminder that cars and drivers rule our village streets. Had that crash occurred on State, Monroe or Jefferson where speeds are much higher, the outcome would have been even more tragic.
Okay, okay. But I mostly drive. What’s in it for me?
Driving at more cautious speeds make streets safer for drivers too. Why? You have more reaction time as a driver. The higher your speed, the more time you need to react. If you are driving 40 mph and something appears in the road 100 feet ahead, you will crash into it still going 36 mph. No matter what the hazard is ahead (another car, trash can, pedestrian, child on a bike, deer…), you need 235 feet to stop if you are going 40 mph. At 25 mph? You can come to a full stop within 100 feet.
The more reaction time we as drivers have, the less likely we are to have a crash in the first place. And if a crash does happen, the severity will be much less (especially if there is a pedestrian or cyclist involved.)
Benefits to the community
How fast we drive through our village has a ripple effect beyond our own safety and those near us on the street.
Calmer traffic encourages more people to be out and about on their community streets. That means more people walking and biking to their neighbors’ and friends’ houses, more people supporting local businesses, more people getting more exercise and less fossil fuel being consumed to do those things.
- People notice local businesses more when they aren’t speeding by (and especially if they are walking and biking by).
- More people out engaging in their communities on the streets helps reduce crime
- Reduced speeds are better for property values.
- Safer streets help people foster everyday social connections, which helps increase levels of happiness and improves quality of life.
- People are healthier when they walk and bike more. In fact, people who live in walkable communities weigh 6-10 pounds less than those who live in communities designed for driving.
- More people walking and biking reduces public health costs. Obesity and other health issues tied to the sedentary lifestyles of its residents costs the state of New York billions annually. And traffic crashes cost the US economy more than $200B each year.
How fast we drive through our village streets does matter. It matters a lot. It matters for all of the people who live, work and play around here — regardless of whether they walk, roll, cycle or drive. And it impacts the livability of our community. Driving is a huge responsibility and each of us who drives is part of the solution to safer streets in our village.
There is currently a bill in the NYS Senate that authorizes the Village to lower the speed limit to 25 mph. This alone won’t make our streets safer, but it is an important part of the solution that also involves better design, enforcement and education.
