Edward Kummer, appointed as Chief Digital Officer of General Motors in October 2021, is stepping down from his role following several months of software quality-related issues with a few GM vehicles.
According to a report from Detroit Free Press, the Detroit-based automaker stated last Tuesday that Kummer is leaving the company. Notably, no successor has been named as of the time of this writing.
“We wish Edward Kummer well and thank him for his years of contribution to GM,” a statement from General Motors read. “We have reorganized some of our teams supporting digital services and experiences to ensure the business continues to run efficiently. We have no further details to share at this time.”
It’s worth noting that Kummer isn’t the only high-profile GM personnel leaving recently. Executive Vice President of Software and Services Mike Abbott announced earlier this month that he was stepping down from his position due to health reasons. Additionally, the Detroit Free Press confirms that GM Vice President of Customer Experience Donald Chesnut is stepping down as well.
“The Digital Services & Experiences team, currently part of the Software & Services organization, is being reorganized within other areas of GM,” a GM spokesperson claimed in a prepared statement. “The goal is more consistency with revenue-generating, software, and marketing functions to make the groups work more efficiently while keeping customer experience and quality a top priority.”
As a reminder, the Cadillac Lyriq and Chevy Blazer EV were collectively subjected to a stop-sale order due to the aforementioned software quality-related problems. Lasting for roughly three months, sales of both all-electric crossovers were halted as General Motors worked out a solution. Finally, a Customer Satisfaction Program was issued in March 2024 that addressed these software issues and lifted the stop-sale order.

Shoulder Pain is a common condition after a car accident, and it's something that Dr. Robert Linton sees often in our Mt Sterling office. Why is shoulder pain such a common symptom after a car crash? How can chiropractic care help you get better?
There are at least two ways that you can get shoulder problems after a car crash: by direct injury to the shoulder or by radiating pain from the neck.
Direct injury can be caused by hitting your shoulder on a hard object in the car during the crash, or can occur if you have a tight grip on the steering wheel during a rear end crash. With this type of injury, you'll often be aware of the pain soon after the crash.
More frequently, Dr. Robert Linton finds that shoulder or arm pain doesn't immediately appear after a collision, but begins a few days or weeks after the accident. This type of shoulder discomfort actually starts in the cervical spine. Injured soft tissue in your neck can tweak nerves in your neck, causing tingling, numbness, or pain in your shoulder, elbow, or wrist.
We've treated both kinds of shoulder problems in our Mt Sterling office. This care involves chiropractic adjustments to restore your spine's natural mobility and exercises that strengthen your neck and shoulder.
Let us help you recover from shoulder pain. Dr. Robert Linton has helped many patients with the same problem, and we can probably help you, too. Dr. Robert Linton will first determine what's causing your pain and then work to restore your body to its natural functioning. Ready to make an appointment? Give us a call at (859) 499-1009 and we'll get you back on the road to health.

Despite how much humanity often gets distracted by it, this present world ISN’T all there is.
In fact, one day this present world will pass away, as will the material nonsense people are often so hooked into.
In the scope of eternity, our time here is a drop in the ocean. Just something worth keeping in mind.
The world has changed drastically from my teenhood to now. Chronic fighting like petulant school children has become commonplace among many adults who should know better, but who have the maturity level OF said school children.
It’s really a sad thing to see.
Many in my country don’t even have shared basic values anymore, and as we all know, a house divided cannot stand.

The Bulkley Valley Concert Association’s (BVCA) 2019/2020 second show of their season is coming up Oct. 24.
Their first show held earlier this month was incredible, according to BVCA arts director Miriam Colvin. Krystle DosSantos opened the season and Colvin was happy with the turnout.
“It was really great,” said Colvin. “There was an arc to the evening, her playing, her musicality, her voice warmed through out the night so by the end of the evening she was full on powerful and had the whole audience engaged and singing along.”
Jay Gilday is next on tap and will perform at the Della Herman Theatre on Thursday.
The singer-songwriter now lives in Edmonton but grew up in Yellowknife.
Gilday told BVCA board members he was excited to be returning to northern B.C., which he recalls fondly from his days of touring with his Juno award-winning sister, Leela Gilday. He also said that Witset was a favourite stop.
His website says his voice is a raw and gorgeous siren of the Canadian north, fusing hymnal anguish with driving rhythm and blues. He mixes Dene spirituals and Irish ballads with Canadian folk and rock.
“I found him to be very engaging with a very strong, sometimes raspy voice,” said Colvin. “He has a real range with his musicality.”
Jay will be joined on stage by Andrew Stewart on bass, Geoff OBrien on drums, David Aide on keys, and Edmonton jazz legend Dave Babcock.
“He [Gilday] calls himself folk and soul rock,” said Colvin. “He has an underlying rock edge. He is both an accomplished singer-songwriter and performs solo gigs, so I think that is where the folk rock comes into it and he performs with a full band so I think that is where we are going to get what he calls soul and his roots in blue.”
Colvin is also hoping he shows off his hidden talent and the story that goes along with it.
“When I heard him perform he said that somehow at every performance he gets asked to whistle. So in the showing of his work, of course we asked him to whistle. And he was a virtuoso of whistling,” she said. “He had this amazing tune that went all over the place.”
Tickets are now on sale at Mountain Eagle Books or available at the door. Adults are $28, $23 for seniors and $15 for students.

Mater Dei needs late push to beat JSerra
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO - In its first Trinity league game, top-ranked Mater Dei found itself locked in a battle with JSerra.
The Monarchs rallied in the fourth quarter to come out on top, 53-47, behind 19 points and 12 rebounds from Stanley Johnson on Wednesday night at JSerra High.
Mater Dei (15-0) closed out the game on a 17-8 run, including four clutch free throws from James McGee.
The first half saw Johnson score just three points, all coming from the free throw line, as Mater Dei trailed 20-19 at the break.
Monarchs coach Gary McKnight said with as difficult of a league that the Trinity is, his team needs to come out more focused to begin games.
“We need to come ready to play in the first half,” he said. “Our league is going to be so difficult, that when you go on the road it’s going to be tough for all of us.”
Sixteen of Johnson’s game-high 19 came in the second half, a half in which he took control of and dominated from the outset.
“Stanley is tough to deal with both inside and outside,” McKnight said. “He really stepped up in the second half.”
The JSerra team Mater Dei had to fight off was a far cry from the one that it defeated easily, 87-66, earlier this season at the Tournament of Champions at Ocean View.
McKnight said that the Lions (9-3) are a much better team than when they last played.
“They have a couple guys back who didn’t play last time because of injury,” he said. “They played very inspired tonight, and I thought we were very flat.”
Despite the less-than-convincing performance, McKnight said that he’s happy to get out of this one with a win.
"We didn’t shoot the ball very well, and that put us in a hole,” he said. “We didn’t do a couple things very well, but we got the win.”
Johnnie Vassar paced JSerra with 13 points, including three 3-pointers.

14-year old facing sexual assault charge following alleged incident at Fargo South, victim & family speaking out
A 14-year old boy is in juvenile detention. He's facing a charge of a sexual attack on a 16-year old girl during summer school. Valley News Live has confirmed with police the attack happened Monday at Fargo South. Now, the girl who says she was attacked and her mom are willingly speaking out exclusively to Valley News Live.
"You don't expect someone to follow you in the bathroom, period and it's just like, why would someone that young do it," says the 16-year old student.
The 16-year old says this has been a life-changing moment for her. We are not identifying the teen or her mom because of the allegations of the sexual assault. However they tell us, they wanted to speak out to make sure this never happens to anyone else again.
"When you're in that situation, you freeze. You don't know what to do. I was backing up because I wanted to get as far away as possible," says the student.
This 16-year old tell us her classes were wrapping up for the day and she was heading for the bathroom. That's when she says she was cornered and sexually assaulted by the boy.
Valley News Live: “Have you ever seen him before?”
"No, I just met him that day," says the student.
Eventually she tell us, she was able to get to her phone and ask a friend for help. She says there were no teachers or faculty around and that's what has this teenager and her mom so upset.
"O’h it makes me sick, it makes me sick because you don't want something like that to happen to your kid," says the Mother.
On top of that, this mom thinks this could have all been prevented if there was a teacher or school resource officer still at the school.
"If they're not watching the hallways and they don't have a resource officer, I need to do something to protect her," says the Mom.
We brought these concerns to Fargo Public Schools. A spokesperson there tell us, they do not have school resource officers at the schools in the summer months.
But this whole event as you might expect, traumatized this 16-year old.
"I’ve been having mental breakdowns at random points because people say certain things and it hits me all at once," says the student.
What's more, she tells us she's not really sure if she wants to keep going to Fargo South. But her mother has already made some decisions.
"To me, the school district failed and that's what I’m going to continue to say," says the Mother.
She says shes contacted an attorney and isn't going to stop fighting until something is changed.
Fargo Police tell us they are continuing to investigate the case and could not give further details since it involves minors. A spokesperson with the school district did tell us one student is no longer involved in summer school programming.

The Royal Irrigation Department is pressing ahead with the Mae Wong dam project, but opposition from environmentalists is also likely to be strong.
Please join us on our facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/bangkokpostlearning
The cabinet has approved the Mae Wong dam project which will inundate part of a national park and the Royal Irrigation Department is pressing ahead with its implementation, but environmentalists are also stepping up their efforts to oppose it. NATTHITI AMPRIWAN
RID defies activists, pushes for new dam
The Royal Irrigation Department will press ahead with the controversial Mae Wong dam project in Nakhon Sawan province despite growing protests from environmental groups.
The department, which is developing the dam, is expected to complete an environmental and health impact assessment of the project in July, Somkiat Prajamwong, director of the RID's project management office, told the Bangkok Post.
After that the department would submit the report to the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning, the Independent Commission on Environment and Health, and the National Environment Board for final approval, he said.
Mr Somkiat said the RID had started the EHIA study last September when about 4,000 residents of Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani and Kamphaeng Phet were invited to give their opinions on the dam's construction.
A final public review of the EHIA will be held in Nakhon Sawan next month.
"The report will cover all concerns about the dam's environmental impacts, especially the impact on wildlife and forest area," Mr Somkiat said.
"The department also set aside more than 500 million baht for environmental impact mitigation measures."
The cabinet on April 10 gave the green light to the dam's construction in Mae Wong district with a budget of 13.28 billion baht. The project is aimed at solving flood and water shortage problems in the Sakae Krang river basin which covers Uthai Thani, Nakhon Sawan, Chai Nat, and Kamphaeng Phet.
The dam would inundate about 13,260 rai of protected forest in the Mae Wong National Park.
Proposed in 1984, the dam has been delayed for many years as the project's environmental impact study had failed to get approval from the National Environment Board.
It also faced fierce protests from environmentalists, who said the project would damage one of the country's most pristine forests and home of rare wildlife species.
Mr Somkiat admitted that the RID had decided to build the dam in the forest because it did not want to encounter problems with local residents who might have to be evacuated to pave the way for the dam's construction.
"Building the dam inside the national park will cause damage to the ecological system, but it will increase the irrigation area and ease flood problems. It's a trade-off," he said.
Environmental groups, however, have stepped up their protests against the dam, which they said would not solve flood problems in the river basin.

We were excited to welcome dozens of MPs and House of Commons staff to a special event in the Houses of Parliament, which highlighted the benefits of the School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme (SFVS).
As a leading supplier to the scheme, which provides a Government-funded piece of fruit or vegetable each day to all Key Stage 1 (four to six year-old) children in state-funded English primary schools, we were keen to demonstrate just how youngsters are benefitting from it.
Each school year, the programme delivers more than 400 million pieces of fresh fruit and vegetables to more than 2.3 million children in 16,600 schools – statistics that surprised some of the people who attended the event.
Mark Driver, of Kids Fruit, said: “For many youngsters, the SFVS produce may be the only fresh fruit or vegetables they eat in a day. The scheme provides children with a healthy, mid-morning boost and it also offers a great opportunity for them to try new foods with their classmates, which in itself is a valuable social occasion.”
Kids Fruit also hosts classroom workshops with pupils at its partner schools, to educate them about the benefits of healthy eating and to introduce new fruit and vegetables into their diet – and pupils are always excited to try out different produce.
“Over the years we’ve worked with several MPs to raise awareness of the scheme, with a number of them coming along to our workshops to see the difference fresh produce makes to the pupils,” said Mark.
“We wanted to host this special event in the Houses of Parliament to update them on the scheme’s ongoing success and the fantastic impact it is having on the health and wellbeing of children in England, and it also gave some MPs the opportunity to try fruits that they hadn’t tried before.”

I AM SAM
Sean Penn and Michelle Pfeiffer star in I AM SAM as Sam Dawson and Rita Harrison, a mentally handicapped man and his lawyer who fight the legal system so that Sam can regain custody of his beautiful, intelligent daughter. Although laced with some foul language, I AM SAM is a moral, redemptive, entertaining, well-acted movie which shows that love can bring people together, even apparent enemies.
LES MISÉRABLES is a movie version of the beloved musical play of Victor Hugo’s novel about an ex-convict whose life is redeemed but is hounded anyway by a legalistic policeman. LES MISÉRABLES is a brilliant adaptation of this inspiring, spiritually uplifting Christian story that beautifully depicts God’s transformational powers though the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but it contains some harsh scenes showing the brokenness of humanity without God.
FIREPROOF is an incredibly gripping, compelling, heartrending, transformational story about saving a marriage between a small-town fire chief and his working wife that is on the rocks. Impeccably plotted, it is a stirring presentation of the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the power of God’s amazing grace.
SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
After two hundred years, Jane Austen has become one of the popular screenwriters in Hollywood. Her latest adaptation, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, showcases the Dashwood women as they are driven out of their home and seek true love. Though flamboyantly acted, it shows marvelous restraint, respects the church and faith and elevates good sense over the vagaries of unrestrained passion.
A MAN CALLED PETER
This fine movie demonstrates a contemporary champion of the faith, Scotsman Peter Marshall, who became clergyman and U. S. Senate chaplain.
DRIVING MISS DAISY
DRIVING MISS DAISY is a great character study with strong Christian values about a wealthy Jewish matron who’s befriended by her black chauffeur, a committed Christian full of wisdom. Beautifully acted by Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman and containing only two exclamatory curses, DRIVING MISS DAISY will not only fill you with joy and love, but also encourage you to follow Jesus Christ more closely.

It has long been held that cannabis has certain healing properties. It has also been known that cannabis can get you high. Over time, we have learned how to separate the two components of cannabis and isolate the healing properties known as cannabidiol (CBD).
As CBD becomes more and more popular, questions about how it’s prepared become more and more relevant.
One important question about CBD is “What’s the difference between Full Spectrum CBD and Isolate CBD?” The follow-up question is “Which one is better?”
In order to provide a proper answer, we must first answer the questions that define both Full Spectrum CBD and Isolate CBD.
WHAT IS FULL SPECTRUM CBD?
WHAT IS ISOLATE CBD?
Isolate CBD is created when the cannabidiol is separated and isolated from the other cannabis compounds of the source plant. It was previously believed that the isolated CBD was stronger and more concentrated than full spectrum CBD, and therefore more desirable, However, a 2015 study conducted by the Lautenberg Center for General Tumor Immunology in Jerusalem, Israel proved that full spectrum CBD offered greater relief when administered to mice in higher dosages. The study suggested that Isolate CBD is not able to offer the same relief as the Full Spectrum CBD.
WHICH IS BETTER: FULL SPECTRUM CBD OR ISOLATE CBD?
Based on the foregoing information, it is now widely believed that full spectrum CBD is more effective than isolate. Patients interested in a holistic approach to medicinal cannabis treatments are widely using full spectrum in one of itsmany form factors.

The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) Foundation has launched the #TableTennisUnited fundraising campaign for athletes, coaches, umpires, national associations and projects affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Powered by the ITTF Foundation, the donation campaign is supported by the ITTF and World Table Tennis (WTT), with both organisations donating more than $250,000 (£199,000/€222,000) to the fund.
It is set to help in a number of key areas following the suspension of sport due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The campaign will also be raising awareness by providing official information about suitable protective measures against COVID-19 through manuals and instructions.
A social media campaign has been launched to support #TableTennisUnited, which encourages ambassadors to record messages asking others to #PassTheBallOn.
A compilation video of the ambassadors' messages is currently on the ITTF and ITTF Foundation social platforms.
Olympic champion Ding Ning ?? invites you to join our fundraising campaign #TableTennisUnited to help members of the table tennis family during the #covid19 pandemic.#PassTheBallOn ➡ http://tabletennisunited.org
China's three-time world champion Ding Ning is one such player to be a campaign ambassador and has pledged her backing for the initiative.
"As long as I can remember playing table tennis, we have never faced such a global challenge in the world of sports," she said.
"I am firmly convinced that we can only overcome this crisis together as a team.
"I support our campaign #TableTennisUnited to do my part to help where our aid is most needed right now.
"Join us with your donation!"
The pandemic has wreaked havoc on this year's ITTF calendar, with the World Team Table Tennis Championships in Busan postponed three times.
It is hoped that "full open international events" can be held in the last quarter of 2020.


5.4 An arrow cutting two rings shall be scored in the ring of greater value. Scoring is
determined by the position of the shaft. In all NFAA Rounds, an arrow shaft need
only touch the line to be counted in the area of next higher value.
5.4.1 In the event the scoring ring has become distorted due to torn or missing paper,
the scorer shall visually reconstruct the natural arc of the scoring ring to
determine the value of the arrow(s).
5.5 Witnessed bounce outs or arrows passing completely through the target will be reshot.
5.6 Hits on the wrong target will be scored as misses.
5.7 When an arrow is dropped while the archer is in the act of shooting, he/she may
shoot another arrow in place of the dropped arrow if any portion of the dropped
arrow is within ten feet of the shooting line.
5.8 If an archer shoots more than the prescribed number of arrows in an end, the excess
arrow or arrows of higher value will not be scored. A penalty of one point will be
assessed for each arrow shot over the prescribed number of arrows.
5.9 If an archer shoots less than the prescribed number of arrows in one end he/she
may shoot his/her remaining arrows if the omission is discovered before the end is
officially completed; otherwise they shall be scored as misses.
5.10 When using the NFAA Indoor Five Spot Target:
5.10.1 An archer may shoot the 5 spot target in any order and shoot as many
arrows into any spot as the archer desires, not to exceed the prescribed
number of arrows per end.
5.10.2 Scoring shall be five points for the combined four cm. X-ring and 8 cm.
white ring and four points for the combined twelve cm. and sixteen cm.
55.12 The target group, which generally consists of four archers, will select a score
caller, two scorekeepers, and a target captain. The target captain shall be the judge

As more people want to grow their food the need for new methods and garden designs become more pressing. Niki Jabbour’s book, Groundbreaking Food Gardens, presents a collection of essays on garden design gathered from seventy three garden writers, professional horticulturists, garden bloggers, managers of botanical gardens, and university staff living across North America and the United Kingdom. No matter where you live, how big your patch of soil. or what your special interests are, Jabbour’s book will convince you that you can grow food plants. The sky is the limit when it comes to garden design and Jabbour’s book will stimulate your imagination and get your juices flowing.
A whole chapter is devoted to each of the seventy three garden designs provided by the contributors. Each chapter presents a different garden and includes a design plan, plant lists, and the motivations and rationales behind the decisions involved in designing the garden. The gardens cover a wide range of possible situations and address common garden problems like lack of light or space, as well as providing for the needs of traditional gardeners or those that want something wild, fun, or just plain off-beat. Gardeners with limited space can glean ideas from chapters with gardens designs for a patio, balcony, roof top, hanging gutter or palette. The Elizabethan garden, Italian heritage garden, formal kitchen garden, heirloom vegetables and others provide a plethora of ideas for traditional gardeners while the curiosity of those with special interests might be piqued by the gardens highlighting figs, beer, chickens, garlic, hotdogs, cocktails, or bees. The gardens for 52 weeks of salad, schoolyards, good bugs, and fall and winter vegetables, and were especially appealing.
Written in an easy conversational style, the text is enhanced by colorful illustrations and an attractive format. Insets provide additional practical information on gardening while one page special features treat topics on edible gardening like living walls and lasagna gardening. The book is packed with ideas and makes good reading for the novice, expert gardener, or someone just interested in garden design and the creativity go gardeners.

Here is the ending of my 8th Lament. Last year I composed rough drafts of twelve laments. I am currently going through and expanding them. I am currently through eight of them.
This one uses tapping with the right hand to play the bass part. Tapping is fun and is easier to get a good sound on an electric guitar than a classical. When you tap the bass strings on a classical there is a lot of noise. If you tap on the upper three strings it’s tough to get a loud enough sound. Here is the score for this section…
Tapping is an example of extended techniques. Extended techniques are just techniques to create sound on an instrument in an unorthodox way. I wrote a paper on it back in school. You can find that as well as a couple videos on my website.
Now on to Buckethead….
I ended up going to Cincinnati last week to see my second Buckethead concert in the last month. It was AMAZING. Here are a couple pics…

A new full trailer for Last Night in Soho has just been released, along with an official poster for the upcoming psychological horror movie. Starring acclaimed actress Anya Taylor-Joy (Emma, The Queen’s Gambit) in a lead role, the movie is the latest feature from director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver), who co-wrote the script with Krysty Wilson-Cairns. The movie will be released in theaters this fall, and you can watch the trailer below.
Wright, Nira Park, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, and Laura Richardson produced the movie. The official logline reads: “Edgar Wright’s psychological thriller about a young girl, passionate in fashion design, who is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it appears, and time seems to fall apart with shady consequences…”
Along with Anya Taylor-Joy, Last Night in Soho stars Thomasin McKenzie (Leave No Trace, Jojo Rabbit), Matt Smith (Doctor Who, House of the Dragon), Terence Stamp (Superman, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace), Jessie Mei Li (Shadow and Bone), Rita Tushingham (A Taste of Honey), Michael Ajao (Silent Witness), Synn&øve Karlsen (Clique), and Margaret Nolan (Goldfinger). Late Game of Thrones favorite and Bond girl Diana Rigg, who passed away in September, also stars in her final movie role.
This is certainly not Anya Taylor-Joy’s first foray into the horror genre. Her breakout role was as the lead in the 2015 horror flick The Witch, which earned her a Gotham Award and an Empire Award. M. Night Shyamalan would also bring in Taylor-Joy to star in the psychological horror movie Split in 2016, a role that she would reprise in the 2019 sequel Glass. The acclaimed actress was also featured in a starring role in the X-Men movie The New Mutants, which has been described as a “superhero horror movie.”
“Not to say much about the movie, but when I watch bits of it back in ADR or whatever I am disturbed,” Taylor-Joy said of Last Night in Soho on the Happy Sad Confused podcast last year. “It’s very claustrophobic. The colors are so intense. It’s a really well-directed acid trip. I think people will really like it. You definitely will not be bored.”
Speaking about what it was like to work with Edgar Wright, Anya Taylor-Joy added: “The man loves cinema. He loves any art form. It’s so fun to talk music with him. He just knows everything. I don’t know how he fits it all in his head. I loved it. As a dancer, he’s big on choreography, and things happen on beats. It’s not quite to the level of Baby Driver where you’re coordinating exact car chases to the beats of the music, but I sort of act in beats in my head. I count those out for myself, and he says them out loud. So it’s wonderful to do that.”
Last Night in Soho will be released in theaters on Oct. 22, 2021. Given the levels of talent involved on both sides of the camera, this will definitely be one for horror fans to watch out for this fall. The new official trailer comes to us from Focus Features.

The Ku Klux Klan in Northeast Ohio: The Crusade of White Supremacy in the 1920s by Steve Anthony Viglio, 2021, Master of Arts in History, Youngstown State University, Department of Humanities.
The link is here
The impact of the Ku Klux Klan in the twentieth century has been documented by many historians and scholars, from a national perspective. Local case studies are not quite as common. This thesis looks at two of the most important and popular chapters of the Ohio Ku Klux Klan, Akron and Youngstown. For Akron, I relied on thorough research of the Akron Beacon Journal newspaper archive. For Youngstown, I began research previously conducted by former Youngstown State University faculty Dr. William Jenkins’ Steel Valley Klan and branched from there. I used The Vindicator newspaper as a reliable source for Youngstown Klan history. Specifically, the Akron chapter of the KKK previously has not been researched besides a Master’s thesis several decades ago. Newspaper coverage was abundant in Akron and provided a clear, unbiased blueprint in order to perform the case study. Results of the case studies in Akron and Youngstown show mixed results in terms of the Klan’s effectiveness. In Akron, the Klan was able to infiltrate the Akron public school system for a period. Their ultimate goal of barring Catholic teachers, however, was not achieved. Their popularity peaked by 1925 which was a bit longer than the Youngstown Klan. In Youngstown, they showed moderate success in enforcing bootlegging laws but the 1924 Niles riots signaled the peak for the Klan. Ultimately, from a national viewpoint, the fates of both chapters were very similar. By the end of the 1920s, national Klan popularity had diminished in a similar fashion in Akron and Youngstown respectively.

Well, it’s nice to know the government has the backs of consumers.
It’s just too bad it took the government 20 years to notice that Canadians feel like they’re being held hostage by their cable, Internet and cellphone providers.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
In Wednesday’s Throne Speech, the Conservative government promised to take care of issues that have been nagging Canadian consumers for decades, such as sky-high roaming rates, and the fact most cable subscribers outside Quebec must buy their channels in bundles, rather than just choosing the channels they want.
But while the Conservatives think it will be good election posturing to champion consumers, let’s be clear: no government, Liberal or Conservative, has done anything but create a friendly climate for a small number of telecom companies to dominate the market with little or no real competition, and continuous price increases.
Make no mistake, this government is all talk when it comes to taking a hard line on cellphone companies. In the same week we heard the government wants to stand up for consumers, we also learned the same government rejected a bid by Egyptian investors to buy Manitoba Telecom’s Allstream service,which provides Fibre Optic Internet services to businesses.

Curiosity killed the cat they say – but we keep being curious. We are constantly asking questions about our practices, successes and failures, and the trends we see all around us. Often our curiosity brings us to a place of discovering a new tool, a new book, a new practise.
Our curiosity is often directed externally. Curiosity about oneself can be dismissed as navel-gazing or time-wasting; self-indulgent when there is so much to be done.
Take a moment to imagine yourself as an instrument. The product of a master craftsperson, a work of wonder and beauty. Capable – given the proper treatment – of producing the most beautiful and inspiring sounds. The catch? It takes practice to master such an instrument. Time to understand its unique nature and to become familiar with its peculiarities. You could potentially get a tune out of it after a short time of familiarisation, but to master, it will take a lifetime of focus and learning. Many of us settle for scratching out a recognisable melody when we could do much better with a bit of time invested.
As a coach, I spend a lot of time inviting people to be curious about themselves. You can’t facilitate that without having done it – and so I have tried to be more deliberate about noticing tendencies in myself. Sometimes I’m aided by people close to me calling things to my attention, sometimes to unpack powerful emotions or reactions. A really rich and productive seam for me came from using an assessment tool that captures a snapshot of emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is widely recognised as being why people with average IQ usually outperform those with very high IQ in the workplace. Unlike our IQ and personality, EQ (emotional intelligence) is malleable – we can change it by focusing and working on it. Let me give you one example.
One of the subscales in the EQi assessment is called Self Actualisation. It’s defined as ‘the willingness to persistently try to improve oneself and engage in the pursuit of personally relevant and meaningful objectives that lead to a rich and enjoyable life.’ My score in this was low, which surprised me. I thought of myself as motivated, and at that time, I was engaged in a lot of work I found satisfying. The low score didn’t make sense. On my own, I might have concluded it wasn’t a very good assessment, but my coach helped me to start asking questions.
Through that conversation, I realised that there were some important ones where I was stuck despite being motivated in many areas. Processes and systems beyond my control; a lack of allies and companions were taking their toll. We arrived at an experiment to try – being more assertive and vocal about some of the things I wanted to do. Speaking out the things which excited me; testing the water before assuming a negative answer might seem incredibly obvious – but I had told myself I was satisfied with what I had. It made an incredible difference very quickly, and it’s still a lesson I hold dear. The great thing about this EQi assessment is that this wasn’t the only breakthrough. I can only encourage you to try it for yourself and see.

You can’t cover the bills, afford a certain purchase, and so on. The most common reason for getting a cash advance loan is to pay the household bills. The second place goes to consumer goods. People also often request loans to pay off overdraft fees that came from essential purchases.
You need to get by until your payday. Tough times aren’t uncommon, and they’re always difficult to overcome; they can be devastating both financially and emotionally. If you find yourself panicking all the time about money, a loan might be your best option. It will allow you to return to your usual lifestyle and focus on improving your financial situation.
You don’t feel comfortable lending from your friends. Some people choose to solve their financial issues by borrowing from friends or loved ones, seeing this option as quick and safer. Others prefer working with lenders over bothering their families with their money worries and putting a strain on those relationships.
You need to cope with an unexpected emergency. Any physical accident will lead to big expenses. Whether you need to change the locks, or get diagnosed with a health problem, you must handle these issues on the spot.
When it comes to fast loans, the rates are the main reason to worry. But since there are no other types of loans available on the same day you apply, quick cash advances are always on the rise. Regardless of your reasons for obtaining quick cash, the advantages of cash advance loans still endure.
Even though quick loans aren’t a a fresh product on the market, the principles of their work are still a mystery to a whole lot of borrowers. Here’s what you should know about cash advance loans in Westminster (California).
A cash advance is a less complex loan designed to be issued quickly and online. A borrower gets a small amount of money for a short time (from three days to one month). Usually, the amount of money the lender takes ranges from $100 to $500 and gets repaid by the next payday.A cash advance is acquired in three stages:
The terms, costs, and rates of a normal cash advance in Westminster (California, CA), or any other city, in Westminster (CA) are almost the same:
Cash advance loans can be a challenge to get to grips with, because there are various loan types that are regulated individually and fall under lots of areas of law. Here are the salient facts to be aware of:If the cash advance amount isn’t larger than $30, the fees you pay can’t be higher than $1 per every $5 borrowed. If the borrowed cash advance in Westminster (CA) is between $30 and $100, the acquisition charge shouldn’t be more than one-tenth of the payday cash advance amount. If you borrow more than $100, the acquisition charge can’t exceed $10. The lender sets out the conditions of early repayment. In most cases, you can clear off the loan without incurring any additional costs.
You can obtain a cash advance online or through a office-based lender. The process of filling out an application form is convenient and simple. On the form, you provide your personal info and specify the cash amount, as well as the how you want the money sent to you, if your application is accepted.

Association Of Ugrp2 Gene Polymorphisms With Adenoid Hypertrophy In The Pediatric Population
Atilla, Mahmut Hunturk
Muz, Sami Engin
Babademez, Mehmet Ali
xmlui.mirage2.itemSummaryView.MetaDataShow full item record
Introduction: Adenoid hypertrophy is a condition that presents itself as the chronic enlargement of adenoid tissues; it is frequently observed in the pediatric population. The Ugrp2 gene, a member of the secretoglobin superfamily, encodes a low-molecular weight protein that functions in the differentiation of upper airway epithelial cells. However, little is known about the association of Ugrp2 genetic variations with adenoid hypertrophy. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Ugrp2 gene with adenoid hypertrophy and its related phenotypes. Methods: A total of 219 children, comprising 114 patients suffering from adenoid hypertrophy and 105 healthy patients without adenoid hypertrophy, were enrolled in this study. Genotypes of the Ugrp2 gene were determined by DNA sequencing. Results: We identified four single nucleotide polymorphisms (IVS1-189G>A, IVS1-89T>G, c.201delC, and IVS2-15G>A) in the Ugrp2 gene. Our genotype analysis showed that the Ugrp2 (IVS1-89T>G) TG and (c.201delC) CdelC genotypes and their minor alleles were associated with a considerable increase in the risk of adenoid hypertrophy compared with the controls (p = 0.012, p = 0.009, p = 0.013, and p = 0.037, respectively). Furthermore, Ugrp2 (GTdelCG, GTdelCA) haplotypes were significantly associated with adenoid hypertrophy (four single nucleotide polymorphisms ordered from 5' to 3'; p = 0.0001). Polymorfism-Polymorfism interaction analysis indicated a strong interaction between combined genotypes of the Ugrp2 gene contributing to adenoid hypertrophy, as well as an increased chance of its diagnosis (p < 0.0001). In addition, diplotypes carrying the mutant Ugrp2 (c.201delC) allele were strongly associated with an increased risk of adenoid hypertrophy with asthma and with allergies (p = 0.003 and p = 0.0007, respectively). Conclusion: Some single nucleotide polymorphisms and their combinations in the Ugrp2 gene are associated with an increased risk of developing adenoid hypertrophy. Therefore, we tried to underline the importance of genetic factors associated with adenoid hypertrophy and its related clinical phenotypes.

Released: Jan 1976
With guest appearances from members of the Faces and Fairport Convention, and a set of tunes about weathering the storms of bad love, Joan Armatrading's third, eponymous album has real swagger. Released in 1976, the record was Armatrading's biggest critical and popular hit, putting her on the map with an international audience and achieving respectable chart success in the U.K. Wah-wah guitar and unapologetic backbeats help make up-tempo tunes like "Water With the Wine" and "Join the Boys" funky and confident, but the most memorable stuff is in affecting, artful ballads like "Save Me."

Holy Trinity Church
'Gogmagog - The Voices of the Bells'
Artist: Matt Stokes
Holy Trinity is an impressive, eighteenth century Grade I listed church located in an historic area of Sunderland. The church is under the care and management of the Churches Conservation Trust. No longer used for regular worship, Holy Trinity is in the process of being developed as an important new creative venue for Sunderland.
The construction of Holy Trinity Church in 1719 marked the forging of Sunderland as a city. Originally at the heart of the busy port it played an important role in the community life of the area. As well as providing religious services the church also once housed the Town Hall and Magistrate’s Court, Sunderland’s first public library and even at one point the local fire service. Although once at the heart of Sunderland, Holy Trinity’s place changed as the centre of the city shifted to the west.
The exterior of the church reflects the transition between Queen Anne style and early Georgian architectural taste. Inside the church there is an elaborate font and a rather grand memorial to the Reverend Robert Gray (d. 1835) who was known for his work with Sunderland’s poor. In the entrance porch there is also a plaque commemorating local sailor Jack Crawford, known as the ‘Hero of Camperdown’ for his brave efforts at the Battle of Camperdown in 1797 when the English fleet defeated a Dutch fleet. Above the main part of the church there is a wooden gallery, the choir vestry and the old library which still has its original Georgian desks and bookcase.
For his commission, Matt worked with local musicians, singers, choirs and bell ringers to produce a new sound work based on the social history of the building and an original bell peal composition first performed at Holy Trinity Church in 1898.
'Gogmagog - The Voices of the Bells' was open on Saturdays and Sundays at Holy Trinity Church from 7 July to 23 September 2018.
Full details of Matt's composition and all the muscians and participants involved in the project are given in the Gogmagog Handbill. For more about the background research that went into Matt's commission, visit his project blog.
Matt Stokes is an artist whose works begin with an immersive research process that explores the history and social structures of the place he is working in, resulting in the production of films, installations and events. These outcomes hold collaboration at the centre of both their formation and philosophy, often being made directly with people from the communities they are celebrating. Stokes has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, including solo exhibitions at Matt's Gallery (London), CAAC (Seville, Spain), Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art (Gateshead), Kunsthalle Fridericianum (Kassel, Germany) and De Hallen (Haarlem, Netherlands). He is represented by Workplace Gallery, London/Gateshead and Markus Lüttgen, Cologne.

ACCIÓ awards the Institute’s Innovation Department with the quality seal TECNIO and two VALUNI grants for technology transfer projects
An innovative programme from IRB Barcelona’s Innovation Department enables researchers to explore how to implement their entrepreneurial ideas
How do you make a successful move from academia to industry? In March, Albert Farré, Brand Manager at Novartis Oncology, told IRB Barcelona scientists who attended the “Building Bridges in your network” workshop how he did it. And he has some good advice for budding entrepreneurs.
On the occasion of the BIO-Europe Spring 2017 event in Barcelona, the newspaper “La Vanguardia” has published an article about the campaign to host the new headquarters of the London-based European Medicines Agency (EMA) after Brexit.
The article also includes a reference to the participation of IRB Barcelona’s Innovation Department in this three-day partnering conference for the biotechnology industry.
The 11th international partnering conference comes to Barcelona from 20 to 22 March.
19 young researchers at IRB Barcelona will also be attending the three-day conference.
BIO-Europe Spring is the premier springtime partnering conference for the biotechnology industry.
IDIBAPS and IRB Barcelona researchers show the effectiveness of a new strategy to achieved genetically modified viruses that infect only tumor cells, thus preserving healthy tissues.
It is an innovative approach that exploits the different expression profiles of certain proteins between tumor and healthy cells, thus allowing the virus to infect only the former.
IRB Barcelona starts a project with the long-term goal to achieve an injectable frataxin treatment able to reach the brain.
Frataxin is the protein that is reduced in those affected by this rare and degenerative disease, which has no cure.
The patients’ associations Babel Family and ASOGAF in Granada provide the funding for the initial 18 months of this challenge.
The research collaboration will combine Merus’ Biclonics technology platform and unique cell and animal models at the Colorectal Cancer Laboratory led by Eduard Batlle to investigate the stroma.
Last year, CERCA, the Catalan Government institution that supervises, supports and facilitates the activities of research of research centres in Catalonia, set up a patent fund called Gínjol. This initiative aims to provide funding for knowledge transfer projects and to promote the regional economy.
According to CERCA Director Lluís Rovira, “the idea is not to increase the number of patents, but rather choose those that can really have a commercial impact, with subsequent profits.” Eleven scientific institutions contributed resources to the...
Patrick Aloy, ICREA researcher at IRB Barcelona, has told the programme 'L'Entrevista', broadcasted by “La Xarxa Televisió”, that research into Alzheimer’s disease is still unravelling the disease, how it starts and what would be a suitable approach to tackle it."
Because of the complexity of this condition, Aloy says, "we will not cure Alzheimer’s disease. We have to focus on halting its progression. The earlier we stop the development of this condition, the greater the improvement in the health of those who suffer from it."
"To halt its progression, we will be able to administer drugs when symptoms of the disease are detected, thereby...

In the warmest noonday, you may mount the steps, guarded by dragons on either side, one by one until you reach the zenith to find yourself in the presence of a massive golden Buddha, with eyes glazed in a silent reverie, gazing at the end of the world. Mesmerised you will be, once you turn your eyes toward the vista spread beneath your feet. Here in Samui, you will be stirred by sheer loveliness, again and yet again.
The Big Buddha statue is the most popular tourist destination of the island. The seemingly endless stretch of blue waters and the pristine beaches that these waters endlessly kiss, attract visitors from far and wide to this beautiful island too. The wonderful white beach is called by the one that watches over it, silently through stormy rain and scorching sun. The Big Buddha beach is one precious treasure waiting to be discovered indeed.
The beach is a quiet, peaceful haven for those who wish to cherish the hushed tranquillity, away from the fearful dutiful world. Although less frequently visited by tourists, this wonderful stretch of golden sands has quite as much to offer as any of the famous beaches around, that sun lovers frequent around the world.
The Big Buddha beach is slowly opening up to the bustling, dazzling nightlife that many tourists favour. Bars and pubs as well as supermarkets have slowly begun to appear on her shores while guest houses and hotels open friendly doors to anyone seeking shelter. British pubs such as Elephant & Castle and Brahms & Liszt, The BBC as well as many other pubs now hear friendly chatter over dim lights and brimming glass. This place that is conveniently located near the airport is now opening its doors wide to the visitors of the world.
In the Big Buddha beach, being one of the fastest developing areas of Samui hotel accommodation can be found to fit any and every budget. A Samui resort, such as the Anantara Bophut Koh Samui offering luxury and comforts that are unmatched, can be recommended to those who would love to indulge in the finest in hospitality, while also enjoying the magnificence of the sea that shines in the gaze of a golden Buddha.

It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Sometimes simple is good. That’s what we have here, a simple, boxy pullover, perfect over a tank top. The asymmetrical placement of the neck causes the hem to hang lower in the back than the front.
As shown, it uses Garden 10 mercerized Egyptian Giza cotton thread, loosely knitted on a US size 4 (3.5mm) needle. We think this piece would also look great in Flax Lace. Plant fibers provide a breathability and drape that work well with this sideways-knit top.
The body is knitted as a big rectangle, using intarsia for the color changes. Seam together the edges of the color blocks to create armholes. Easy work that’s good for knitting while chatting, but those color changes help keep things from getting dull.
This would be a great top to personalize with your own color choices. Black and blue? Peaches and cream? The sky’s the limit.

By Hans-Michael Koetzle
Published by Taschen, April 2011
12.8 x 10.2 x 1.7 inches, 444 pages
Reviewed by Geoff Wittig
Two idiosyncratic German publishers stand out in the photo book world. Steidl reflects its founder's passion for photography, exemplified by a range of beautifully produced books for connoisseurs, such as Mike's favorite Bruce Davidson opus, Outside Inside. A recent article on Gerhard Steidl in the New York Times reflected on his almost monastic lifestyle, devoted to his art. The other publisher is Taschen, at first glance the "anti-Steidl." Active members of the L.A. "glitterati," founder Benedikt Taschen and partner/wife Angelika seem to go out of their way to be provocative, with a goodly number of fetish- and sexually-themed titles. If the reflective Outside Inside exemplifies Steidl, Helmut Newton's brash and campy Sumo (the big one) may characterize Taschen. But giant expensive tomes like Sumo are matched by many more affordable titles. Taschen has published a range of very reasonably priced large monographs on photography icons from August Sander to Edward Weston to Paul Outerbridge. They also have released a range of modestly-sized and very inexpensive small softcover monographs. And $10.19 for a hardcover Atget, Paris? Hard to beat for pounds (or kilos) of book per dollar. Reproduction quality has varied from just okay to pretty good. More recent titles include Sebastião Salgado's beautiful book Africa [now out of print —Ed.], with reproductions that are very good indeed.
This is a long-winded preface to Taschen's recent encyclopedic survey of photographers past and present. Photographers A–Z (here's the U.K. link) is a large, heavy volume that provides brief but pithy coverage of literally hundreds of individuals. The author's explicitly stated criterion for inclusion is "those whose contribution to the culture of the photographic image is beyond question, whose work is internationally recognized, presented and discussed–even if controversial." Koetzle acknowledges a preponderance of Americans and Europeans, but there is also extensive representation of Asian and Latin American photographers.
The book's design is clean, slick, pure modernism (rather than post-modern). Most entries get a single page, with a select few extending across the gutter to a second. Each begins with a terse but spot-on summary of the photographer's work. For example, Annie Leibovitz is introduced with "Staged portraits of American celebrities from the worlds of (pop) culture, politics, and high society. Star photographer of the 1980s and 90s in two respects." This is followed by a dense chronological survey of the subject's career and important projects. Next is a telling quote from a photography critic, ranging from the well-known (Vicki Goldberg, A.D. Coleman) to the obscure. Finally there is a list of important exhibitions, followed by (Hallelujah!) a selected bibliography for each photographer, including monographs and projects as well as relevant anthologies containing the artist's work.
The photo reproductions included with each entry are not full-bleed large images. Instead, as with Errata Editions, you get reproductions of the covers and 2-page spreads of photo books. These provide you a sample of the photographer's work in book form. And this photo reproduction format spells out this volume's mission. It deliberately treats photo books as the primary location for significant and accessible photography. If you want large, high-quality, beautifully reproduced examples of each artist's work, you will not find them here—but this volume will tell you exactly where they can be found in book form.
This book is an irresistible browse. You can page through the entries and in just a few minutes reacquaint yourself with a dozen great photographers you're already familiar with, and find a bunch of great leads for books to seek out at the library or Amazon. Better yet, you'll get a tantalizing look at great talents you've never heard of, but may find well worth looking into. For me the biggest delight was being reminded of many wonderful photographers who had fallen off my radar screen, but whose work I love. Now I know where to find more of their best images in print.
There are some older books out there with a similar mission. Abrams' PHOTO:BOX featured one or two images from each of 200 famous photographers. Phaidon's Centurywas more explicitly a survey of the 20th century in photography, but covers some of the same ground, with a very well-chosen selection of images. Finally, Phaidon's The Photo Book is the closest equivalent, with "500 pages on 500 photographers," each represented by a single iconic good-quality reproduction. Taschen's new book has a rather more eclectic mix, with a wider selection of Asian and Latin American photographers. In customary Taschen style, there's also a larger representation of nude and erotic subjects—Araki gets two pages, Walker Evans only one. Overall it's a fascinating selection of styles and eras. And for the lover of photo books, the bibliography entries are priceless. Just be forewarned that this feature may end up costing you far more than the purchase price!

Police Officer Chen Ko-da from Jianan Police Station in Pingzhen District recalled that during a previous patrol at 2 AM, he found a car parked at the side of the road with the engine still running. His professional instinct warned him that something was seriously wrong. He approached to have a closer look, and noticed a woman slumped over the steering wheel with the smell of alcohol in the air and some burning charcoal next to her. He was very fortunate to be able to rescue her in time. In light of such situations, Taoyuan City Department of Public Health offers citizens free face-to-face counseling service. It also led the nation in providing the “24-hour all-day-round visitation of individuals with a record of attempted suicide.” Furthermore, this year (2017) the agency also drafted plans to set up “Locations for Face-to-face Counseling Services” at all 13 districts across the City. By timely speaking to trained counselors and experiencing the companionship and warmth of professionals, individuals will be able to think positively and approach issues from a different outlook. Tweaking the perspective on things can easily attract good fortune.
According to Taoyuan City Department of Public Health, the 2016 National Suicide Standardized Death Rate was 12.3 individuals per 100,000 people. The number for Taoyuan City is 11.9, showing a drop of 19% from 14.7 individuals per 100,000 people in 2012. It is also the only city among the six direct-rule municipalities to have successfully reduced the fatality rate of suicides for five consecutive years.
Taoyuan City Department of Public Health noted that people today often face depression and even helplessness and distress from multiple sources, such as relationships, workplace problems, family problems, or from chronic diseases. It released the “Taoyuan City Mental Health Promotion Film – Changing Views” to be broadcast at public places, frontline service agencies facing citizens, and YouTube. For those interested in watching the film, please look up the key words “Taoyuan City Changing Views.”
The Department of Public Health reminds the public that there are always low points in everyone’s life. Caring for each other, listening to each other and providing a helping hand at the right moments often help to save precious lives. For related information on mental health, please visit the website of Taoyuan City Mental Health Center ( https://dph.tycg.gov.tw/mental/ ) or call Lifeline (1995), Teacher Chang (1980) or the 24-hour Reassurance hotline (0800-788-995) for help.

. The company was awarded a contract with an initial one-year term, with four, single-year renewals.
On Oct. 7, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced plans to give carriers access to portions of the Motor Carrier Management Information System - the database that police and roadside inspectors use to check on drivers and carriers. The program is scheduled to begin in December.
The new service is designed to distribute commercial drivers' safety performance history as part of the pre-employment screening process. The system will assist the motor carrier industry in assessing individual operators' crash and serious safety violation inspection history as a pre-employment condition. Drivers will also be able to obtain their individual history from the service.
"Safety is our number one priority at the Department of Transportation," LaHood said. "This new initiative will help trucking companies ensure the safest drivers are behind the wheel of commercial trucks and buses. Making this information more transparent will make our roads and highways safer for everyone."
It is anticipated that users of the service will pay a subscription fee of $100 per year and a $10 transaction fee for each record pulled. There will be additional fees for records requested via fax or mail. Individual drivers requesting their own record will not be subject to any subscription fee.
The system will adhere to all other federal privacy requirements to ensure the privacy and security of a driver's personal information.
