Encinitas council cancels E-Town Hall contract
E-Town Hall, a method of collecting public feedback online, was recently scrapped.
The Encinitas City Council voted 4-1 on Feb. 26 to terminate the E-Town Hall contract and set up a subcommittee to explore other virtual outreach options.
E-Town Hall, powered by the company Peak Democracy, allowed residents to comment on topics such as the housing element, a plan outlining future growth. The city signed up for the service last year to reach those who haven’t historically attended council meetings.
Mayor Kristin Gaspar said the city promised a community-centric approach to the housing element. She said E-Town Hall failed in this goal, largely because commenters weren’t required to display their names or indicate which Encinitas community they reside in.
“The problem is Peak Democracy was selected as the primary tool to be used on the most critical task that our city will face,” Gaspar said, referring to the housing element. She also said she’s doubtful the service could be improved to address her concerns.
Councilman Mark Muir said instead of E-Town Hall, the housing element warranted a scientific survey to capture feedback.
“I proposed that from the beginning,” Muir said.
Muir and Gaspar initially supported canceling the E-Town Hall contract, having the city’s communications officer present an overview of the city’s outreach strategy at a later council meeting and looking at alternatives from there.
Ultimately, Muir and Gaspar agreed on the subcommittee process, which will explore virtual engagement tools in the context of the city’s communications plan. City staff will help the subcommittee develop ideas, and the public will have the chance to weigh in during subcommittee meetings.
Deputy Mayor Catherine Blakespear said Muir and Gaspar have voiced concerns with E-Town Hall in the past, so they should take a more active role in finding an online alternative to engage residents. She added at least one of them should serve on the subcommittee.
“From my perspective this has become a partisan lightning rod and we should move on from it immediately and have a subcommittee,” Blakespear said.
Blakespear added a subcommittee is important because she doesn’t want the council to be split on future issues because it can’t agree on an outreach strategy.
During a Feb. 5 meeting dedicated to the housing element, Blakespear sided with Gaspar and Muir in bringing back an agenda item to consider canceling E-Town Hall. That compromise vote paved the way for unanimous council agreement on three housing element maps, which will soon undergo environmental review.
Gaspar will serve on the communications subcommittee with Councilman Tony Kranz.
Kranz said E-Town Hall is valuable for gaining feedback. He later added the service had some functionality issues that should have been worked out before the housing element launched.
He also said citizen engagement software shouldn’t be a sore subject for the council, stating he’s in favor of getting rid of the service and identifying an alternative.
Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer, the lone vote against the motion, said the E-Town Hall comments people posted on the housing element were very helpful and informative. She added the service allowed residents to not only weigh in on their own time, but also learn more about topics.
“Is there any reason to think some other tool is going to be any better?” Shaffer asked.
The E-Town Hall contract allows for cancellation at any point with 30-days notice.
Annually, the fee is $9,000, with the city making two $4,500 payments. The city in January put down a payment for the term from Feb. 13 to Aug. 12 and will be refunded a prorated amount of $3,375.

“’Behind the other door’
There is always something hiding
that we’ll never know for sure was
better or worse. Maybe tickets
to a play or ride in a Hearse,
so don’t curse if the day doesn’t
go according to your plans. Be
glad you’re vertical and able
to say you had a good or bad
or even mediocre day.”
– Robert Lee Brewer, http://www.writersdigest.com
I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about plot twists in our lives. I stumbled across this poem and it got me thinking about how I handle plot twists in my life; as I’ve had more than a few, some recently. I feel as though the first sentence of this poem does a splendid job expressing the fear that many, if not most, of us have surrounding change.
The second part: “… so don’t curse if the day doesn’t go according to your plans.” speaks to me in two ways. My first reaction is that it’s telling me not to be upset if my life, or my day, doesn’t go the way I planned it to; which I do often and have been doing recently. My plans for the next few years have had to adjust and change and that has been a source of great frustration and annoyance to me. Because money runs the world, generally speaking, I am having to take a job to help pay for me to finish my degree and monthly expenses. Which, in turn, will slow down my writing and completion of my degree. (Insert annoyed emoticon here).
The second part of the poem also tells me something else. It tells me not to be afraid of opportunity. Don’t be afraid of “something hiding”, because how is that living? Now if it’s a spider, I’ll be screaming and booking it out of that joint. BUT, it could be a great opportunity, or it could be a huge fuck-off spider wanting to eat you. Chances are it’s an opportunity. Change is good. Change is scary as hell sometimes, but it’s necessary to grow as a human, and it’s good.
The last part of the poem was the most poignant to me. As my parents can attest, I spend a lot of time daydreaming. I spend a lot of time thinking about the future, and thinking about the past, I sometimes (oftentimes) forget to be in the present. I also forget to be grateful that I could have a shitty day. I know that sounds… odd or peculiar, but think about it. Sometimes, most of the time, it’s ok to have a bad day, it makes the good days that much sweeter. Furthermore, it’s ok to have a mediocre day, and it’s ok to just… be. I know I’m starting to sound like a cliché so I’ll quit while I’m ahead on this topic.
As I was writing this post, the song “Hope There’s Someone” by Antony and the Johnsons played. This song was played in my favorite episode of the television show “Torchwood”. The episode is entitled “Random Shoes”, basically the plot is this young man dies by getting hit by a car, just prior to that he consumed an alien artifact that allows a person to gain a fresh perspective on their past life. I think the episode initially struck a cord with me based on the scene of young man’s mother sobbing as Torchwood left his house with some of his belongings to investigate his death. I have not had a child die, but I’ve had a niece die and that death has reverberated through my life in more ways than I expected and continues to do so.
However, I think, in addition to that subplot, the episode strikes a cord with me because it allows Eugene (the young man) to see his life, especially the days and months leading up to his death, in a new perspective. Thankfully, we don’t have to die to have this experience. I encourage everyone to take time to look at your life. It’s amazing how different your life experiences might look once you have some time to look at them objectively. But don’t spend all your time rethinking and reliving your past. Don’t forget to live; be present, be IN the present.
So to sum up this post: I’m looking for work in the Des Moines area, I’m not moving anytime soon. I’m still working on my book, and my courses to complete my bachelor’s degree in the meantime.
I hope this post finds you all well my lovelies. Be present, live your life. Don’t be afraid of change or what’s around the corner; if there’s a huge fuck-off spider around the corner, just run like your life depended on it, because it probably does.
All my love,
PS: Don’t forget to follow my social media, and donate (if you can afford it) to my Patreon page (to help fund my book), and don’t hesitate to leave comments here or on social media.

The two acre Mississippi John Hurt Museum site in Avalon, MS is where the Mississippi John Hurt Music Festival is held once a year, on Labor Day weekend. The festival is emceed by Mary Frances Hurt, Mississippi John Hurt's granddaughter. The late Art Browning, musician and Carroll County native, was also instrumental in the creation of the festival, serving as co-organizer and Museum curator for many years.
One of the enduring stories of the Mississippi John Hurt legend took place in 1964. The Newport Folk Festival, fresh on the heels of John's resounding success at the 63' Festival, took John to Manny's Music in Manhattan and told him to pick out any guitar he wanted, recommending to him an expensive pre-war Martin. Hurt declined and picked a modest Guild F-30, not wanting to take advantage of his hosts. Mississippi John Hurt never liked for too big of a fuss to be made over him- as such, the Mississippi John Hurt Foundation, established in 1999, has held a yearly festival uniquely suited to honoring this humble songster. The festival resembles closely the country dances and fish fries John would play in his formative years as a musician.
The Festival is split over two days, Saturday being devoted to Hurt's blues music, and Sunday being devoted to his gospel work. John never differentiated between sacred and secular in his playing and singing, and a two day gathering is the best way to honor the full spectrum of the man and his music. The blues Festival, held on the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend, begins at noon and continues until six. Professional and amateur musicians take turns sharing the wooden outdoor stage, performing John Hurt songs such as Spike Driver Blues and Candy Man Blues under the shade of tall Mississippi pines.
The special guest list is a revolving list of musicians who knew and sometimes even played with Mississippi John Hurt. John Sebastian, of Lovin' Spoonful fame, named his famous 60's band after a lyric in John Hurt's Coffee Blues and was present at the Museum's ribbon cutting ceremony in 1999. Other notable guests include modern blues musician Alvin Youngblood Hart, Chicago musician and educator Eric Noden, and Gene Bush, another guest who personally knew and played with Mississippi John Hurt.
While the professional musicians always put on a great show, many would agree that the real heart of that Mississippi John Hurt Music Festival is the impromptu guitar sessions. Festival attendees are invited to enjoy barbeque and a cold drink, while musicians sit in the shade with their guitars, picking and singing John's repertoire. For those who wish to play, musicians of all walks of life and skill levels are welcome. Nowhere else will a budding guitarist find a more accepting, gracious audience. In addition, the Museum doors are left open, and any Festival attendee is welcome to peruse the items left in memoriam of John Hurt. In fact, many fans, upon Mary Hurt's request, sign the rough-hewn wooden walls inside the house's front room. No greater tribute could be made to Mississippi John Hurt.
When the sun begins to set on Saturday's festivities, guests begin their slow procession out of Avalon, passing the site where John's home originally stood, and the Valley Store. Before leaving, everyone is invited to climb the steep hill leading to the Hurt family cemetery. Here fans gather to pay their respects to John, who is buried in a peaceful spot in the back of the cemetery. His tombstone simply reads "John S. Hurt", followed by his birth and death dates. A special honor to some fans, Mary Frances Hurt often asks a select few to bring their guitars to the cemetery to play a song in tribute to the man who inspired them to travel many miles to rural Mississippi.
Sunday's Gospel Festival continues in much the same way as the blues festival. After a headlining performance by that year's Gospel act, fans are once again invited to participate in an open jam, or to play the open mic. While John Hurt's gospel music is the focus, the day always progresses organically, with musicians switching freely between gospel and more bawdy blues material. John Hurt would approve wholeheartedly.
The ending of the festival is a bittersweet affair. Attendees are often found idling, finding reasons to not leave. Pure kinship of this type is rarely found this day and age, and it is a testament to Hurt's character that more than forty years after his death, people are still united by the strength and kindness of his spirit. Phone numbers and e-mail addresses are exchanged, and plans are made for visiting next year's Festival. In addition, one of a kind Mississippi John Hurt T-Shirts and memorabilia are available, with proceeds going directly to the Foundation. Walking in the footsteps of Mississippi John Hurt is a joyous musical experience. Whether it is your first festival or your tenth, it is impossible to return home not having been touched by John Hurt's spirit and the hospitality of Mary Frances Hurt.

Rents are rising across Australia but at a slower pace than they were 12 months ago,
Across the nation, rents remained unchanged for the month of June.
However, they were 0.3 per cent higher over the second quarter of 2018 and 1.8 per cent higher over the 12 months to June 2018.
The growth in rental prices is less than half what it was over the same period in 2017, when rents climbed by 0.7 per cent.
Rental growth over the second quarter is slightly higher in the combined regions (+0.4 per cent) than in the combined capital cities (+0.3 per cent).
Over the past 12 months, regional rents climbed 3.1 per cent compared to 1.4 per cent growth across the capitals.
In the second quarter, rents climbed in all capital cities except for Darwin (-1.0 per cent) and Sydney (- 0.3 per cent). Darwin (-0.6 per cent) and Sydney (-0.2 per cent) were also the only capitals to experience a fall in median rent in June.
Hobart reported the highest quarterly rental increase (+1.9 per cent), followed by Canberra (+1.3 per cent).
Canberra was the next strongest performer (+4.5 per cent).
Rents climbed higher in all capital cities except Perth (-0.2 per cent) and Darwin (-1.7 per cent).
Over the past 10 years, national weekly rents for both houses and units have increased by 25.7 per cent.
House rents increased by 1.9 per cent over the past 12 months, while units increased by 1.7 per cent.
This compares to a 0.2 per cent increase in national house rents over the June quarter, and a 0.5 per cent increase in unit rents.
The national median rent is $429 per week ($427 for houses and $434 for units).
Across the capital cities, the average median rental is $462 per week.
The median house rental in the capital cities is $464 compared to $458 for units.
Across the regions, both houses and units averaged $356 per week.
The Sydney property market continues its run as Australia’s most expensive capital city to rent in, with a median rent of $583.
Despite its significant rental growth, Hobart has one of the lowest average rents across all the capitals at $418 per week.
This makes it third only to Perth ($377) and Adelaide ($375) which has the cheapest weekly rent out of all Australian capital cities.
Rental yields have increased nationally by 0.6 per cent over the past 12 months to 3.7 per cent.
The average rental yield is 3.4 per cent across the combined capitals (+0.1 per cent).
In comparison, yields across the combined regions fell slightly (-0.1 per cent) to 4.9 per cent.
Annual rental yields increased in Sydney (+0.1 per cent), Darwin (+0.3 per cent) and Canberra (+0.1 per cent). Yields remained static in Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne, and declined slightly in Hobart (- 0.2 per cent) and Perth (-0.1 per cent).
Darwin has both the highest growth in rental yields (+0.3 per cent) as well as the highest yield (+5.7 per cent).
Hobart has the second highest yield (+4.9 per cent) followed by Canberra (+4.6 per cent).
Melbourne (+3.0 per cent) has the lowest rental yields, followed by Sydney (+3.2 per cent).

Be healthy – an idea for a delicious nutrition plan, York
A good nutritionist is one who is able to motivate one to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I compose nutrition plan and cook with passion, and for that very reason, I know that a healthy diet does not have to be boring at all! With my help, you will learn to compose a delicious and inventive menu, customized with your individual needs and preferences in terms of eating in mind.
Apart from an extensive knowledge in the realm of healthy eating, I have as well education and experience in the catering industry, and for that very reason, I find it easy to prepare interesting and tasty menus, which may include different kinds of dishes, commencing with traditional English cuisine, the gluten-free and vegetarian ones, and also those representing fusion cuisine. Variety of the diet will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle prices, and I can assure you that thanks to that you will start to enjoy your life more every day.
My education has made it possible for me to commence my adventure with planning customized nutrition plans – I studied dietetics at Medical University in Poznań and graduated with bachelor degree and also in the major of the hotel management and catering from the Academy of Hotel Management and Catering Industry in that same city. The latter field of study has taught me how to adopt a customized approach to the needs of my customers.
I underwent internship, and also acquired professional experience, providing customized consultations at various catering establishments, in schools, nursery schools, dietary clinics and in restaurants. In addition to that, I have conducted numerous trainings in the realm of healthy eating habits, and also organized culinary workshops for individuals at various ages, commencing with children and the young, and including the elderly. However, first and foremost, I have acquired a practical knowledge relevant to preparing tried-out recipes for tasty and original dishes – I have worked as a chef in several restaurants in Poznań, for example, in the elegant Villa Magnolia, or in the inventive Dark Restaurant, at which I perfected my cooking abilities.
Motivation for change
I believe that delicious and tried-out dishes included in the nutritional plan prepared by me will inspire you to change your eating habits effectively.
But, there will be more to that! By means of providing consultations, I also try to motivate people to change their entire lifestyle making it better. I prove that it is worth trying – I lead an active lifestyle myself. Together with my husband, have already crossed the region of North Yorkshire on bicycles. Adventures, and sometimes enormous effort, are worthwhile because it is not nearly every day that we have something to reminisce upon, which gives us a lot of strength for at least a couple of months. And this is me and my precious family

PPI by Commodity in China
Gloria Van Rees
We often discuss metals and their impact on China’s economy, but in the figure below the influence of metals is pronounced. Metal products decreased slightly MoM, but is still the highest at just over 4 points. In a rolling 12 month view, metals decreased from 7 to just under 5 points. We believe the decrease in metals is from stabilizing YoY prices. General machinery, transportation, and automobiles are all stable if flat. Computers & electronics increased to -1 in August, but that increase is not enough to shift the commodity into the positive.


Our PolicyMelbourne Cricket Club (MCC) recognises that the MCG, its associated events and operations and other MCC managed venues, have the potential to impact the environment.
Accordingly, the club is committed to identifying and minimising these impacts through our Environmental Management System (EMS), prepared in accordance with the Australian/International Standard AS/NZS ISO 14001:2004.
In line with this, MCC is committed to:
- Ensure the EMS includes documented information as required for applicable legal and regulatory requiremens, and for the effective operation of the EMS;
- Continual improvement of environmental performance and best practice in environmental management through the implementation of our EMS;
- The prevention of pollution by managing stadium events and activities in an environmentally responsible manner;
- Measurement and minimising of resource consumption; specifically water and energy use associated with stadium processes and operations;
- Waste management practices that identify opportunities to reduce, reuse and recycle;
- Climate change mitigation through avoiding or reducing emissions of greenhouse gasses in developments, activities and events at our venues;
- Communicating this policy and the procedures in our EMS to staff, contractors, suppliers and stakeholders, as well as promoting the adoption of environmentally sound practices;
- Conduct periodic reviews to evaluate the performance of this policy and our EMS, reporting to MCC Committee and ELT.
These commitments provide a framework to set environmental objectives and targets that form the basis for our EMS.
We encourage our staff, contractors, suppliers and stakeholders to similarly adopt these good business practices and make the success of this policy part of their goals.
The MCC is a signatory to the United Nations Sports for Climate Action Framework. This commitment ensures the MCC is an advocate for climate action, taking on a greater environmental responsibility in the community as an educator for a sustainable future. As part of our commitment to the United Nations Sports for Climate action Framework, we're pleased to promote the initiatives the MCC has implemented in order to reduce our emissions. Take a look at some of our milestones here:
MCC Sustainability Plan 2022-25The Melbourne Cricket Club is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and addressing climate change.
As the ground manager of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the MCC is committed to reducing its environmental impact and in doing so contribute to and promote the development of a sustainable environment.
The MCC has created a Sustainability Plan to ensure we exceed community, stakeholder and member expectations while achieving required targets to tackle climate change.
WasteMCC adheres to five key guiding principles to continually improve its performance in waste management:
• Reduce unrecyclable waste.
• Reuse materials where possible.
• Promote recycling by providing appropriate infrastructure.
• Educate employees, patrons and contractors.
• Use landfill as a last resort.
The MCC co-ordinates its employees, contractors and patrons so as to maintain the maximum effectiveness of the waste management strategy. The club is also an active participant in the Closed Loop recycling program.
WaterDespite its commitments to the upkeep of the MCG turf and stadium for the hosting of major events, MCC has operated under a water conservation plan for some time.
The sand profile on the ground has helped reduce water usage by more than one million litres annually without reducing turf quality.
The MCC is conscious of its social and community responsibility towards the use of water. There are a number of measures either in place or being examined to ensure the MCC remains a responsible user of this precious resource.
One of the most significant water saving projects in the club’s history involved the installation of a water recycling plant in Yarra Park that has reduced consumption of potable water by up to 50 per cent.
Other water-saving measures being used include the harvesting of rainwater from the northern stand roof (via a 1.5 million-litre storage tank) to clean the seating bowl and concourse, re-engineering the end of hose pipes to increase pressure, implementing toilet flush reduction techniques and the installation of water-saving shower heads and timer controlled taps.
EnergyWorking in tandem with Siemens, MCC has undertaken an energy efficiency upgrade that has converted the MCG into one of the most environmentally sustainable stadia in the world – and saved enough electricity to power the light towers for nearly six years.
The program of works have resulted in the MCG generating enough energy savings annually to power 835 houses.
Examples of the work involved include:
• Replacing the existing lighting systems with low-energy lighting technologies.
• Installing a new building management system.
• Implementing changes to heating and ventilation systems.
• Installing new chilled water systems and modernised room control systems.
In November 2017, the MCG and Siemens work was judged Best Commercial Energy Efficiency Project at the National Energy Efficiency Awards.

Sky Sports is actually British Sky Broadcasting’s premier 24 hour sports news channel throughout England as well as Ireland. British Sky Broadcasting is a satellite pay TV corporation and together with Sky Sports additionally, it offers Sky Sports 1, 2, 3 and Xtra that are available as a Premium package over the standard Sky Sports. Since their creation in 1990, Sky Sports has played a very dominant part in commercializing Uk sport. This channel has also also been a key player in making an important paradigm transfer within the organizational framework of sports broadcasting by being the very first to aid and inspire the Premier League to break from the Football League in 1992.
Sky Sports began as being the Sports Channel during March 1990 since Sky Television didn’t have an exclusive sports channel in the beginning. Sports services had been transmitted occasionally by this channel but instead of starting a new sports channel of their own, Sky Television chose to invest in Eurosport. Upon the release of Sky Television in February 1989, Eurosport was marketed as one of their 4 channels.
British Sky Broadcasting along with Sky Television declared a merger during the year 1990. Originally launched as British Sky Broadcasting, the Sports Channel ended up being rebranded Sky Sports when it had been eventually introduced in April, 1991 on the SES Astra IB Satellite television. Eurosport discontinued its collaboration together with Sky Television on the release of Sky Sports yet remained available on the SES Astra platform.
Sky Sports soon turned out to be just about the most successful channels of the Sky system. It had been through September 1992, that Sky commenced marketing Sky Sports as being a subscription tv channel. After Sky Movies, this was the second tv channel in the Sky structure that was encrypted by way of the Video Crypt system. Though Sky Sports began by way of airing sports activities like golf as well as rugby, it quickly acquired the rights to air Italian as well as German League Football thereby boosting its popularity base.
During 1992/93, together with the formation of the Premier League, Sky Sports became the most famous sports channel following the purchase of the highly sought after broadcasting rights associated with Premier League Football within England and Ireland for a period of five years.
Sky Sports additionally manages Sky Sports news, the TWENTY-FOUR hour sports news channel that was introduced during 1998. The look of this news channel was overhauled during the year 2007. This was simply in time with the football season. Though the primary structure associated with presentation had been maintained, the color exhibits of the information box, the actual ticker at the bottom of the screen and the breaking news ticker had been modified. A brand new studio, new theme melody and fresh title sequences were also a part of the actual revamping. Nevertheless the broadcasting format continued to be on a 4: 3 and didn’t become upgraded on the Widescreen 16: 9 formats.
Till date Sky Sports is connected more together with football than with any other sports. It really is possibly because of this factor that this channel does often suffer from some loss in viewership in the summers whenever no football is actually played out.

-The alt-financial dreams of collapse face a harsh reality. This monetary system is increasingly empowering the ruling class in a similar fashion to the way the ruling Hindu Brahmin class has been.
-80% of the Indian population does not matter and it has been that way for 5,000 years. Christianity in the West has been replaced by new-age doctrine that closely resembles air-brushed Hinduism. A similar societal structure based on debt slavery is being established in the West and the ruling elite are using their monetary system to achieve their goals.
-The NWO elites have been force-feeding us new-age Hindu ideas for 60 years for a reason. They are telling us we are the useless bottom class. Individual rights and personal freedoms don’t matter anymore. Most people see nothing wrong with exploiting others for personal gain.
-The repo market is already being viewed in the rear-view mirror as the Fed quickly ramps up permanent operations.
-We only need about $60 billion a month in longer-dated QE to keep this system moving forward for years.
-It doesn’t matter how large the alt-financial media have become; those with the assets rule. Those without the assets mean nothing to the world. The poor class are like the laborers or outcasts in the Hindu society. Most of the alt-finance followers fall into these categories.
-The alt-finance crowd are similar to the alt-Christian crowd. Both are looking for a divine intervention and expect imminent collapse. Both have been sorely disappointed and impoverished.
-Nationalist movements, populism, Brexit, trade tensions, geopolitical frictions, repo-market madness, impeachment diversions all serve one function; They all provide excuses for the central banks to empower the ruling class. I think of the Movie, Elysium.
-Our investment and trade decisions need to be keyed off of Fed and central bank policy changes.

A total of 94, 6561 cases have been attended by the Guanajuato’s Health System for acute respiratory infections, at hospitals in charge of the Ministry of Health, IMSS and ISSSTE.
However, the area of social communication of Guanajuato’s Secretariat of Health reported that: “since 2009 absolutely no cases of H1N1 influenza have been registered in the state, although a few months ago the drug to treat this condition was exhausted in health centers and hospitals”.
“People must take some recommendations, such as the annual vaccination”, said Antonio Escobar, head of Sanitary Jurisdiction Number VII.
On the other hand, the Civil Protection Department of León declared that: “the people should be alert, due to the expected extreme cold weather in the municipality, and especially in some rural communities where residents are not used to such low temperatures”.
Influenza A (H1N1) virus is a subtype of influenza A virus that was the most common cause of human influenza (flu) in 2009, and is associated with the 1918 outbreak known as the Spanish Flu.
It is an orthomyxovirus that contains the glycoproteins haemagglutinin and neuraminidase. For this reason, they are described as H1N1, H1N2 etc. depending on the type of H or N antigens they express with metabolic synergy. Haemagglutinin causes red blood cells to clump together and binds the virus to the infected cell. Neuraminidase are a type of glycoside hydrolase enzyme which help to move the virus particles through the infected cell and assist in budding from the host cells.

I haven't been this giddy about a project, maybe ever. I first saw this crocheted bracelet on From Glitter to Gumdrops. Christy does a fabulous job explaining all of the steps and made me want to try this. I'm so glad she did.
She has done a great (and amusing) tutorial so please do check out her tutorial - it's great. I started with a 30-gauge wire and H8/5.0 mm crochet hook. I've had this crochet hook forever, don't even remember where I got it but that is the description on the hook itself.
So, you start by stringing on your beads. The first bracelet I used 10 beads which ended up being too long for my wrist (the blue and pink one). The second bracelet I only used 8 beads and it was a better fit (turquoise and white). I also made a sequin bracelet with only 6 beads, thinking that a certain little niece might like that one (the hot pink and sequin one).
So string on your beads, then make a twisty loop.
Crochet 3 chains, and then start to incorporate the beads into the crocheting. Add 1 bead, then just chain. Add 1 bead, then just chain.
Keep going until you've added all of the beads, then make 3 more chains. Cut the wire from the spool and thread back through the last chain. Remove the hook and tie off.
Make 6 of these. You can use whatever bead arrangement you like. All the same. All different. Whatever combination you like. For this particular bracelet, I did a bead and a sequin in each loop.
Attach them by twisting the wire ends together at ONE end (not that anyone would have twisted BOTH ends together and then had to try hard not to swear while unraveling them).
So twist one end, separate into three strands with two chains in each, and then braid them. When you get to the end, twist again (now is the time to twist the second end).
Add findings of some sort by threading the twisted end through the loop.
Fold the wire back onto itself to seal the finding. Repeat at the other end and you're done.
I love these. I think they look a little edgy and interesting and as I said, they are entirely addictive to make. (Sorry about the tea towel in the background.)
I had to wait until the next morning to get help from hubbie to put these on. Try as I might I was not able to fasten then by myself. Here's the shot:

Being solo was no reason for me to give up my beloved Taco Tuesday. In fact, with my beau out playing in a softball tourney, it gave me the chance to try one of the veggie taco recipes I’ve had on my to-do list for a while. I’m not one for fully vegetarian meals, but sometimes I like to try it out as a way to test myself and see if I can handle being meat-free…is that weird? After watching Chanie make refried bean tacos on her Instagram Stories feed, I decided to give the recipe a try…with a few changes.
The first and biggest change was the main ingredient. I’m not really into refried beans. So why make a recipe based around them, you ask? Well I had a theory that I didn’t love refried beans because I’m not a huge pinto bean fan. I do, however, like black beans so I thought it could work to use the same process on a more preferable bean. And it worked, my friends.
First, prep your ingredients. Chop one small onion, mince one large clove of garlic, and drain/rinse one can of black beans. Now it’s time to start cooking. Start by sauteing the onion in some olive oil until it’s nice and soft. You’ll want it to really soften so it will be easier to smash later. Since it takes a minute to get to that stage, this is a good point to prep your star topping: slaw.
Adding slaw as a topping is my other big adaptation to this dish. Since your protein doesn’t have much bite, you need something crunchy to help give this dish some substance. Mix red cabbage (or any slaw – I used a kale/cabbage mix that was the only thing left in the store and it was great) with equal parts mayo and sour cream. Stir in hot sauce to taste. Set aside.
Now, back to that onion. Once it’s good and translucent, add the garlic, saute for about 30 seconds more, and then add your black beans. Sprinkle in taco-y spices (chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika) and add 1/2-3/4 c. water and simmer a few minutes til the beans have softened and the liquid has reduced. Now just mash away with a potato masher til it gets to the desired consistency. If you like it extra smooth, you can always use an immersion blender – that’s your prerogative. I like it to retain some texture. If it looks too dried out, simply add a bit more water. Once they look good, squeeze the juice of half a lime over the whole thing.
Now it’s time to assemble these puppies and I highly recommend you do it right in the pan. Simply place a tortilla in a dry pan, top with the bean mixture, and sprinkle on some shredded cheese. Tent with some foil until the cheese melts (before and after shots below). Remove the tacos from the pan and top with remaining ingredients (that slaw you made before and some chopped tomato).
Straight in the pan is the best and only way to make these tacos for three reasons: 1) it gets the tortilla (especially corn ones) to the proper texture 2) it keeps the beans warm (room temp beans taste like they’ve been sitting out for a while – no bueno) and 3) it melts the cheese, which just seems preferable.
These tacos were totally filling for something that contained zero meat. That said, when Albert’s game ended early and he made a surprise appearance at the supper table, I simply added some rotisserie chicken to his taco and he was a happy guy. It’s Taco Tuesday…what’s there to be unhappy about?!

Our oceans are in danger, deteriorating as a result of human activity, and yet they are precious, serving as sources of food and energy, spiritual inspiration, and means of transportation. In a roundtable discussion between New York City and Beirut, researchers sounded the alarm on the current state of the Mediterranean Sea and our oceans at large.
Marwa Elshakry is an associate professor in the Department of History at Columbia University. Her work specializes in the history of science, technology, and medicine in the modern Middle East. “The sea can be thought of as one of the last earthly commons,” she began, “and it is now under threat.” Our atmosphere and climate rely heavily on the oceans, with more than half the oxygen we breathe being produced by them alone. It is for this reason that Elshakry became involved with the development of FLOATS.
FLOATS, the Floating Laboratory of Action and Theory at Sea, is an international experimental platform aiming to generate, and popularize social-scientific knowledge of the seas through research, teaching, public campaigns and community work. Their mission is to offer a continuous critical commentary on the perils of the current, worldwide domination of territorial and terrestrial frameworks. Bringing together academics, artists, activists and others, FLOATS rotates through various seas, islands and port cities.
Yaser Abunnasr, an Associate Professor at the Department of Landscape Design and Ecosystem Management at the American University of Beirut, is also involved in the development of this project. He built upon Elshakry’s concept of the ocean and the imaginative space it contains. "The shoreline is a space of flow, of materials, energy, and waste. These linear corridors act as connectors. It is a habitat and a conduit,” he said. He fears attempts to commodify our oceans.
Jina Talj, an environmental scientist and marine ecologist, and Nikolas Kosmatopoulos, an assistant professor at the Departments of Political Studies and Public Administration and Sociology at the American University of Beirut, spoke about ocean’s importance as a life-giving
“More than 70% of the earth’s surface is ocean,” says Talj, “with 95% of living creatures on the planet living within the ocean.” Her work as a scientist and activist has been to both protect marine biodiversity and advocate for global policy change. She emphasized, “politics is a fundamental issue in addressing our most pressing issues when it comes to marine conservancy.”
Kosmatopoulos’ time working with aid ships attempting to breach the Israeli blockade into Gaza taught him the political nature of our oceans. “The militarization of our oceans is symptomatic of how we treat marine space,” he noted. The humanitarian crisis facing Gaza and the use of public space – our oceans – as a tool for occupation is an example of the multifaceted ways our seas are exploited.
The discussants engaged with the audience members on the work they had presented. Many around the table asked how they could help in addressing these issues. The discussants expressed multiple actionable items such as aggressive recycling programs, carbon taxes, pollution control, but the unanimous and most central action they emphasized was holding governments accountable for preserving our shared oceans.
Abunnasr closed the discussion and left the group with a final statement: “we truly take the sea for granted. We depend on the sea for mobility, economy, oxygen and life. It is critical that we all understand this if we are to save our seas for future generations.”

Alvaro Fernandez scores on under-18s debut as four United youngsters net for first time
Manchester United’s first team were not the only Red Devils’ side to earn three points at the weekend.
United’s talented under-18 side made light work of opponents Burnley, winning the match by a 5-1 scoreline.
United took the lead after just six minutes and never looked back.
There were four scorers for United, with each of them netting their first ever competitive goals for the under-18 side.
Mateo Mejia’s first under-18 goal
Mateo Mejia has finally scored his first goal for United’s under-18 side.
Mejia joined last season from Real Zaragoza but got injured early on and then found chances limited.
He led the line against Burnley with Joe Hugill promoted to the under-23s.
Mejia took full advantage, scoring after a good run and pass from Dillon Hoogewerf.
He was unlucky not to have had another minutes earlier, and this is just the start for him.
Alvaro Fernandez Carreras’ debut, and first goal
Alvaro looked fantastic on his first appearance for United’s under-18 side since his move from Real Madrid.
He created two second half opportunities with crosses after overlapping from left-back and his attacking intent became even clearer minutes later.
After neat work down the left, he linked up well with Forson before lashing the ball with his right foot across the goalkeeper into the top corner.
This was the perfect way for the Spaniard to mark his debut, and his runs forward were a noticeable part of the team’s play.
Omari Forson’s first goals
Young attacker Omari Forson was a substitute in United’s under-18 side in the FA Youth Cup last season.
He began this match in a central attacking role, just his third start for the 18s.
Forson’s first goal was an impressive strike drilled into the net from the edge of the box.
His second goal was a more instinctive strike after Burnley cleared an effort from Mejia.
Forson had three more opportunities and on another day he could have ended up with a hat-trick, while it should also be noted he had an assist for Alvaro’s goal.
Noam Emeran’s first goal
Noam Emeran is a player who like Mejia lost last season at United due to injury.
Now the French forward is fully fit and beginning to show what he is capable of.
Emeran was lively all game and got his reward late on when he scored a free-kick.
It took a deflection on the way in, but Emeran deserved his goal. This was a big moment for him.

I’m a bit of a yarn hoarder. I cannot lie. Particularly the good stuff. Posh yarn, hand-dyed by small scale work-at-home producers is a vice of mine. But it’s so SO lovely I have a tendancy to keep it and not use it. I just get it all out once in a while to look at and stroke … like a total yarny loon pot!
My new year’s resolution was to force myself to use more of my posh yarn. And I’m doing ok! I’ve made a few things to sell and it’s always such a joy to crochet with such great quality yarn. Having a really lush colourway with different tones and shades makes it more interesting to work with too.
One of those dyers is Karen at Shamu Makes. We spoke a while ago about working together on a blog post. Ages ago, before Christmas in fact. But we were both busy and things got in the way and it was put on the back burner.
Then a few weeks ago, Karen announced on her Facebook page that she was looking for knitters and hookers to test some yarn that she’d been experimenting on with a new dyeing technique. I saw photos of some of her early attempts and practically chewed her fist off to volunteer!
The colours are just stunning. Karen calls it a ‘dappled faux gradient’. A traditional gradient is usually made using a ‘blank’ of pre-woven yarn that can then be dyed to form a gradual colour change. Karen’s faux gradient is different. She created it by caking the yarn and inserting dye into the centre of the cake with a syringe to form the denser block of colour. The rest of the yarn is spotted with tiny flashes of colour for a dappled effect. It’s really very beautiful. Here it is set against a traditional gradient (also dyed by Karen) for comparison:
I couldn’t wait to re-cake it and get going. It’s a blend of Araucania Ranco merino and nylon. Surprisingly soft for a sock yarn. The central colour block is a deep, rich burgundy. This fades out and becomes mixed with bluish purple splashes. It’s a really pretty effect.
It can be tricky finding things to make with one skein of yarn. I chose the Elise shawl pattern. It’s delicate and not too heavy for springtime but intricate enough to show off the yarn. I knew I wanted the darker block of colour to be at the centre of the shawl so that the gradient faded outwards as the pattern grew, with the paler more dappled effect at the outer edge. So far, so good…
It’s quite addictive to work with. I stayed up far too late last night working on it because I wanted to get past the darkest bit, then I wanted to get past the semi-dark bit. I kept doing “one more row”, just so I could get to the dappled bit! This is why hand-dyed yarn is such a joy to use. There’s always a splodge of colour, or a change of tone, or something else to keep my interest going. It never gets boring!
The finished shawl almost doubled in size after being blocked. And here it is:
Absolutely stunning yarn to work with. The pattern shows off the gradient perfectly. Head over to Shamu Makes for more information about dappled faux gradients. Tell Karen I sent you!
Meanwhile, I’ll be GIVING THIS SHAWL AWAY! Yep, that’s right. This stunning ‘Elise’ shawl could be yours. A beautiful, delicate accessory for wedding season or a perfect cover-up for spring/summer. Head over to The Pie Patch Shop on Facebook to enter.
I was not paid for this post. I was sent a free skein of tester yarn in return for some honest feedback.

Lauro Rizzatti, formerly VP of Marketing at verification-centric EVE, thought he was going to move to Oregon last year and retire, but he was wrong. Instead he is busier than ever, hard at work both in the EDA tech sector and in the larger world of venture capital.
Lauro is consulting with Mentor Graphics to promote the company’s ever-expanding presence in the world of emulation, and he is also involved with the Oregon Angel Fund, a group of investors led by Eric Rosenfeld and former SpringSoft USA President Scott Sandler, also busy residents of Oregon.
Mentor is one of the top two emulation companies in the world, along with Cadence. Synopsys also has a foot in the door of that market thanks to their 2012 acquisition of EVE, which brings us back to Lauro. It was after his year spent at Synopsys following the acquisition that he ‘retired’ to Oregon. Clearly, however, it was a waste of his 30+ years of experience in verification to not have him continue contributing to the conversation around that technology, hence his consulting work at Mentor.
I had a chance to talk with Lauro about all of this in a recent phone call, a discussion in which he celebrated the green of Oregon while also gently chiding the endless rain that makes that lushness possible.

The Angels announced that X-rays taken on Trout's hand were negative for any fracture.

EB-5 visa fund sues developers of MetLoft Bronxville condos
A visa investment fund is suing the developers of the MetLoft Bronxville condominiums for $5 million, claiming the project is in default.
The allegations, at first glance, are simple: The loan was guaranteed by the developers. Now that the project is in default, they must repay the loan.
But the MetLoft developers are also embroiled in a messy series of lawsuits, bankruptcies and dueling allegations of fraud.
The $5 million came from a fund operated by Advantage America EB5 Group in Manhattan, a firm that finances real estate projects with money from foreign nationals. Foreigners who invest $500,000 to $1 million in projects that create jobs in the U.S. can obtain EB-5 visas and permanent residency.
Advantage America loaned $5 million to the condo project in 2015, according to the complaint filed this month in New York County Supreme Court. The loan was allegedly guaranteed by the developers: Donald F. Wellington, his daughter Kerry Wellington, her former husband Michael Yanko, and WY Hospitality and Real Estate Group LLC in Nyack.
The condos are being built in a former Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. records warehouse at 759 Palmer Road in Yonkers. The plan was to build 61 loft-style, luxury apartments with indoor parking, an indoor pool and a fitness center.
But MetLoft, now known as EMC Bronxville Metropolitan LLC, defaulted on its loan obligations last year, according to the complaint.
Attempts to reach a lawyer who has previously represented the developers for comment failed.
On June 22, Thomas E. Haynes Architect in Yonkers, Werner E. Tietjen PE Consulting Engineers in Rye and Hall Heating & Cooling Service Inc. in White Plains petitioned bankruptcy court to force EMC into Chapter 7 liquidation. They claim EMC owes them nearly $202,000.
That’s where the story gets complicated.
Four days before that action, another group petitioned the court to force EMC Hotels & Resorts LLC, operator of the Time Nyack Hotel, into liquidation. The Wellingtons and Yanko also invested in that project.
The petitioners in both bankruptcy cases are asking the court to appoint a trustee to protect their interests. They claim that Edgar Melo Costa, “a known fraudster,” has taken over both projects.
Court filings allege that Costa, a Portuguese national, claimed he had sold a private jet company for $450 million but actually owes $1.5 million to companies in Portugal “that he cheated out of money.”
Costa, the court filings stated, is associated with Brent Borland, who allegedly brokered MetLoft’s EB-5 financing. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Borland in May for misappropriation of $6 million in an airport project in Belize.
A trustee must be appointed in the MetLoft bankruptcy, the petitioners said, to protect creditors from Costa.
Neither Costa nor Borland were named as defendants in Advantage America’s lawsuit.
Costa has hired Mercury LLC, a Manhattan “high-stakes public strategy firm,” to defend his reputation.
“We work for Edgar Costa,” spokesman Chapin Fay wrote in an email, “who has been the target of a smear campaign by former business associates.”
The PR firm claims that the Wellingtons mismanaged the condo and hotel projects and that Costa discovered “several instances of possible illegal activity” that contributed to the poor financial performance on the hotel project.

Buried Lead? MSNBC’s Ari Melber Uncovers Key Impeachment Report Info: U.S. Still Withholding $35M in Ukraine Aid
It’s hardly shocking, given its 300-page length, that not every bit of newsworthy information has been unearthed from the newly-released House impeachment report. But one MSNBC host and his team did a deep dive — and found a potentially crucial nugget.
Thursday night on The Beat, Ari Melber took aim at a crucial Republican talking point against impeachment — that President Donald Trump could not have engaged in a quid pro quo with Ukraine on military aid because Ukraine ultimately got the money without delivering on an investigation of Joe Biden. Melber asserted that, in the first place, attempted bribery is still a crime. But beyond that, the MSNBC host also — citing page 145 of the impeachment report — showed that Ukraine has, in fact, not yet gotten all of the money. And that President Donald Trump is responsible.
“[T]his report … cuts into Trump’s defense on the facts,” Melber said. “Because for all the talk … about the White House releasing all the Ukraine money, Trump’s actions have denied Ukraine not a dollar, or a hundred thousand dollars, or a million dollars. But $35 million of that aid — the report noting Pentagon officials confirming Ukraine still has not received 35 million in security assistance yet to be dispersed. Meaning those funds which were approved under U.S. Law have not gone out.”
From the report:
Prior to the release of the funds, DOD’s internal analysis raised concerns that up to $100 million of military assistance could go unspent as a result of the hold imposed by the
President. Ultimately, approximately $35 million of Ukraine military assistance — 14% of the
total funds — remained unspent by the end of fiscal year 2019. Typically, DOD averages
between 2 and 5 percent unspent funds for similar programs, substantially less than the 14
percent left unspent in this case.
In order to ensure that Ukraine did not permanently lose $35 million of the critical
military assistance frozen by the White House, Congress passed a provision on September
27 — three days before funds were set to expire — to ensure that the remaining $35 million in
2019 military assistance to Ukraine could be spent. Ms. Cooper testified that such an act of
Congress was unusual — indeed, she had never heard of funding being extended in this
As of November 2019, Pentagon officials confirmed that the $35 million in security
assistance originally held by the President and extended by Congress had still yet to be
disbursed. When asked for an explanation, the Pentagon only confirmed that the funds had not
yet been spent but declined to say why.
Melber called this, “new evidence against Donald Trump for his potential impeachment.”
“Any time you hear this defense that actually all the money went to Ukraine — the kind of ‘no harm, no foul’ defense — the news is … that is factually false,” he said. “Not all the money went to Ukraine. And as of tonight, the Trump Administration still doesn’t have a good reason as to why.”

Faecal incontinence – also known as bowel incontinence – is more common than you would think. Unfortunately, it is a subject which is still not as openly talked about as it should be. Bowel incontinence affects over 53 million people in Europe making it more prevalent than many well-known diseases such as asthma or diabetes.
What is Faecal Incontinence?
If you are unable to control a liquid stool (diarrhoea) or a solid motion, then you have faecal incontinence. This may be a daily problem or happen from time to time. You may also experience involuntary passage or loss of wind.
Bowel Incontinence Causes
There are several causes of bowel incontinence, or faecal incontinence and some are more common than others. The most common cause of faecal incontinence is damage to one or both of the anal sphincter muscles. Causes of anal sphincter damage can include tears to the anal sphincter during childbirth.
The external anal sphincter is responsible for delaying bowel emptying once the rectum fills and the urge to empty the bowel is felt. People with a weak or damaged external sphincter muscle typically experience urgency and if they can’t reach a toilet in time, they become incontinent.
Bowel Incontinence Symptoms
People with a damaged internal anal sphincter usually complain of ‘passive soiling’. Soft stool or small pellets of stool just leak out without the person realising it is happening.
Other common causes are;
- Constipation can be both a cause of faecal incontinence and also a symptom of faecal incontinence. You can become constipated if you have difficulty emptying your bowel
- Diarrhoea can be a cause of faecal incontinence and also a symptom of faecal incontinence. Diarrhoea can be chronic, i.e. on-going and reoccurring, or acute, i.e. sudden and unexpected
- People with disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, spinal cord injury and Alzheimer’s can sometimes develop faecal incontinence that is associated with their illness
- Some medications like antibiotics can cause loose stools /diarrhoea which may make symptoms worse
- People with inflammatory bowel diseases which can cause diarrhoea and an urgent need to go to the toilet.
Sometimes reading a patient story can help you more than reading an information sheet. We currently have a faecal incontinence patient story available. If you would like read this real life account of living with faecal incontinence and the treatments used to manage the symptoms, please visit our Patient Stories section and look for Adam’s Story.
We have a information sheet on faecal incontinence which contains further information.
If you are concerned about your problem and it is starting to affect your day to day life make an appointment to see your doctor, continence nurse, specialist physiotherapist or colorectal nurse specialist. A continence nurse and specialist physiotherapist are healthcare professionals who specialise in bladder and bowel problems.
Before you see you’re GP, It is useful to keep a Bowel Diary for a week or so before your appointment to record things such as how many times you go to the toilet, any accidents you have and what you eat or drink. This will be useful for the Doctor as it may highlight an underlying cause of your symptoms.

Nitish Kumar ignores BJP, takes 8 JD(U) ministers in team
Patna: In a surprise move, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday inducted eight JD(U) legislators into his Cabinet, overlooking NDA allies BJP and LJP in an expansion exercise that came just three days after differences forced the JD(U) to opt out of the Narendra Modi Cabinet.
Though seen as a snub to the BJP, the chief minister sought to play down the rift in the NDA. “There is no trouble with the BJP and everything is fine in NDA,” he told reporters.
He said that one berth was offered to the BJP but the party didn’t look too keen on joining the Cabinet.
This is the second time in two years when Mr Kumar has expanded his Cabinet. On July 29, 2017, he had inducted 27 ministers from all three NDA constituents — the JD(U), the BJP and the LJP.
The ministers inducted on Sunday included Shyam Rajak, Ashok Chaudhary, Sanjay Jha, Laxmeshwar Prasad, Bima Bharti, Ram Sevak Singh Kushwaha, Neeraj Kumar and Narendra Narayan Yadav. Five of them are MLAs while three are MLCs. With the latest expansion, the Cabinet’s strength had reached 33 against the permitted 36 in the 243-member Assembly.
Political analysts claim that the berths have been allocated keeping 2020 Assembly elections in mind. In the expanded Cabinet, Mr Kumar has included two from the upper caste, two from extremely backward caste, two from mahadalit and one each from Yadav and Kushwaha communities.
After the Cabinet expansion, Mr Kumar said, “Posts were lying vacant and since Assembly session is also likely to commence soon we decided to induct ministers into the state Cabinet.”
BJP leader and Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi, who was also present during the oath ceremony at the governor house, tweeted, “Nitish Kumar has offered the BJP to fill the vacant seat. The BJP decided to fill it in the future.”
Most of the state Cabinet vacancies were created by JD(U) ministers resigning from their posts for various reasons. Fresh vacancies were created after ministers Dinesh Chandra Yadav and Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh won Lok Sabha polls from Madhepura and Munger seats.
The development comes amid reports of a rift between the JD(U) and the BJP over-allotment of berths in the Union Cabinet.
Sources said that JD(U) opted out of the Union Cabinet to express its displeasure over being offered only one seat as part of “symbolic representation”.
The JD(U) is the third largest NDA ally with 16 Lok Sabha seats. The party was eyeing for “proportional representation” in the Union Cabinet but was disappointed over being offered on berth.
Political analysts are of the opinion that simmering discontent over the issue may cause unease among the two allies ahead of Bihar Assembly election which is due in 2020.
