The annual Rice Field Day is coming up on Wednesday, August 31 beginning at 7:30 a.m. The field day will give industry members an opportunity to learn about the research taking place at the Rice Experiment Station in Biggs, California. Rice Farm Advisor for Sutter, Yuba, Placer and Sacramento Counties, Whitney Brim-Deforest said there will be two main tours again at this year’s field day.
“We’ll have the weed management tour and the station tour happening simultaneously. It will cover similar things to what’s been covered in the past. We’ll have the poster viewing session in the morning before the tours start,” said Brim-Deforest. “We have a new Station Director, so lots of new stuff to see and lots of new people to meet.”

A collective sense of pride
As many schools around the world sprint to the finish of the school year, this month brings two powerful celebrations: Juneteenth and Pride Month. Both have enormous significance for educators in today’s international schools. In the United States, the Senate unanimously passed a resolution on June 15, 2021 to give Juneteenth legal holiday status. Short for June 19th, Juneteenth commemorates the day when federal troops arrived in Texas to ensure that all enslaved people would be freed, more than two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. During Pride Month around the world, activists, students and educators help raise awareness about diversity within school communities. Global celebrations encourage us to not only include but also take pride in all members of our families and communities, particularly those who in the past may have had to hide who they were.
Amid the joy of returning to in-person Pride parades and Juneteenth celebrations, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the most recent mass shootings are heartbreaking reminders that ignorance, hate, fear and violence persist in our world today. Oren Jay Sofer reminds us that “The pain is valid. The grief is valid. The anger, fear and emotional exhaustion are all valid. And making space for the truth of our feelings is essential for keeping the heart healthy and finding a wise response in this complex world.” So, even during the busy end of the school year, as educators, it is important to take a step back and reflect on notions of both diversity and inclusion in international school communities. We should ask ourselves:
To what extent are all humans welcome in our school?
When we discuss inclusion do we just consider linguistic or cultural identity?
Could we be part of the problem by perpetuating unjust systems, or part of the solution by challenging inequity and bias?
So what can international educators do? We need to recognize our own privilege and biases. I acknowledge as I write this – that as a white, cis gender, able bodied, English speaking, heterosexual, male U.S. citizen – I’ve almost certainly received unearned privilege in certain situations. We need to examine our schools through an equity lens. Shifting from a deficit orientation to an asset-based orientation is not enough because ignoring systemic inequity perpetuates practices that remain unchallenged, especially when these practices are ostensibly targeted as support. We need to continue to ask difficult questions, even if we can’t answer them. In fact, that’s the very reason we need to keep asking them.
Segregating students from mainstream classes fragments their learning and stigmatizes rather than celebrates cultural and linguistic diversity. Punishing students for using their entire linguistic repertoire as a tool for learning both marginalizes and silences them. Remaining apart from the host community reinforces rather than challenges the colonial legacy of international schools. Around the world, courageous educators are noticing, speaking up and taking action to create more inclusive and just schools. As we move towards the summer break, I hope you take the time to recharge: all educators need and deserve it. I also hope you can take time to reflect, and share a collective sense of pride in ongoing work to include ALL students and educators in the global community of schools.

Where God Was Born LP: A Journey by Land to the Roots of Religion
Where God Was Born combines the adventure of a wartime chronicle, the excitement of an archaeological detective story, and the insight of personal spiritual exploration. Taking readers to biblical sites not seen by Westerners for decades, Bruce Feiler's journey uncovers little-known details about the common roots of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and affirms the importance of the Bible in today's world.
In his intimate, accessible style, Feiler invites readers on a never-in-a-lifetime experience:
Where God Was Born is a daring quest that offers a rare, universal vision of God that can inspire different faiths to an allegiance of hope.

In the summer of 2009, I wrote at some length about the 2006 prose novel The Flock, in which writer James Robert Smith imagined a highly-evolved, relic population of giant, carnivorous ground-birds coming into contact with human beings for the first time in modern Florida.
At the time, the book had just been optioned to be made into a film, and I mentioned that there was already a film entitled The Flock, a 2007 drama by director Wai-keung Lau. During my last trip to the library, I saw a DVD for this The Flock on the just-returned shelf, so I picked it up to watch while drawing one night.
Sadly, it is 100% completely devoid of killer birds. In fact, I don't think there's a single bird in the entire movie. There are a couple of killers in it, though.
It's about a completely obsessed (to the point of being pretty much insane)registrant administrator of the Department of Public Safety, whose job it is to keep tabs on registered sex offenders (the title refers to the flock of registrants he tends). Forced into early retirement, he is partnered with his replacement for a while, in order to train her. Eventually, they stumble onto a case of a missing girl, and he's pretty much the only one who can solve it, but no one wants his help since he's cried wolf so many times. And is kind of insane.
It's basically a bit like an episode of Law and Order: SVU with higher production values, more disturbing imagery and scarier villains.
It stars Richard Gere and Claire Danes. I can watch pretty much anything with the latter in it, as I love looking at Claire Danes and the sound of her voice, and since my Summer of The Mothman, I've been particularly interested in Richard Gere movies. Like, I sometimes half-pretend in my head that he's John Keel when I see him now, so as I was watching this I imagined Claire Danes and John Keel teaming up to save a missing girl from scary corpse-porn pornographers/serial rapists/serial killers (Imagining that Gere is Keel can have interestingly transformative effects on a film; it certainly made Hachiko: A Dog's Tale a different viewing experience than it otherwise would have been, and I'm kinda curious to rewatch Pretty Woman now...).
KaDee Strickland plays one of the registrants, and she's scary as hell—particularly in the climactic scene. Laura Palmer's dad Ray Wise plays Richard Gere's boss, and Avril Lavigne plays an abused prostitute with a very chipped tooth.
But, again, no killer birds.

HOUSTON - "I've always loved going on solo trips and just seeing different countries and exploring different cultures," said Jordan Thornton.
Thornton says she was having a great time in Sri Lanka until she and a friend went to a club called Cheeky Monkey.
"This man approached us and demanded that we move, and that we needed to leave, and then he verbally started harassing us," Thornton said.
She says she would later learn that man is Nikolaj Omby Ibsen, a social media influencer from Denmark.
"I looked up and saw Nikolaj holding a glass, and he wound his arm back and threw it like it was a baseball, and he was standing right over me, and I was seated in a corner," said Thornton.
Thornton says Ibsen's girlfriend pushed her cell phone out of her hand. Then seconds later you can hear the glass shattering.
"I was in shock really. I knew I needed to get the glass out of my mouth, so I just started spitting the glass out, and just trying to get away from the situation," Thornton said. "My lip was basically hanging off my face in three different areas and that's when I really began to panic. I had to go to three different hospitals over the span of three hours."
"The second doctor who saw me pulled the ice bag away from my face, she screamed, and said no we can't help you. You need to go to a different hospital," said Thornton "I want to make sure no one else is going to go through what I went through, because of how violent this was, and because he ran away and left the country immediately and is denying responsibility. I think that proves he poses a threat to other people."
Thornton says Isben is named in an arrest warrant, and she fears law authorities in Sri Lanka and the U.S. Embassy there have lost interest in the case since her return to the United States.


(From Time magazine, US weekly, 11 August 2003.)
Need a Drummer? Dave Grohl's Your Man
by Josh Tyrangiel
Some kids dream about being
in a rock band. Dave Grohl dreamed of being in every rock band. "As a kid, my
fantasy was that I would go to a concert, any concert, and something would
happen to the drummer," says Grohl, 34. "The lead singer would look out into the
audience and say, 'Is there anyone out there who knows how to play our songs?'
And, of course, they'd have to pick me."
Now Grohl is another rock god living his dream. At 21 he was drumming for Nirvana, and after front man Kurt Cobain's suicide, he moved center stage as guitarist and lead singer for the Foo Fighters. In the past year, Grohl has also played drums on every track of acclaimed albums by heavy-metal rockers Queens of the Stone Age, female singer-songwriter Cat Power and goth princes Killing Joke (whose first album in seven years, Killing Joke, is out this week). Grohl has also released a platinum-selling Foo Fighters record, performed with Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello at the Grammys and been floated as a possible replacement for John Bonham on a Led Zeppelin reunion tour. "My everywhere-ness," Grohl says, "is kind of freakish--even to me."
Like most modern adventures in ubiquity, Grohl's begins with Puffy. In 1998, P. Diddy called Grohl and asked him to do a remix for his song It's All About the Benjamins. Grohl says, "I was like, 'Well, I don't know how to do a remix.' And he basically said, 'Do whatever you want.' So I got a drum set, a guitar and a bass and made some rock music, and they put it under the song. That was my first collaboration."
Since then Grohl has got dozens of calls from bands looking for an expert fill-in drummer (inexplicably, bands go through drummers as fast as drummers go through groupies) and the cachet of having a former member of Nirvana play on their album. Grohl doesn't ask for much cash, but he is moderately selective. "It's great to jam with other people; inevitably you learn something," he says. "But to make it more than just throwing Legos together to see what you can build...I try to work with people I respect."
Rather than bring his frenzied Nirvana style to each project, Grohl strives to blend in. He usually spends a week or two in the recording studio ("Anybody who spends more than a few days laying down drums is an idiot," he says) and takes his cues from his collaborators' melodies. On Queens of the Stone Age's throbbing, bass-driven Songs for the Deaf, Grohl set the frantic pace and then stayed out of the way, while on Cat Power's You Are Free his style is more impressionistic, adding a layer of sadness to the songs. For Killing Joke's reunion album, Grohl went back to his punk roots and banged away.
November brings yet another Grohl collaboration, a self-produced album called Probot, on which he plays all the instruments while his favorite heavy-metal singers get the glory. "It's not a platinum seller; it's not going to change the world," he says. "It's just my tribute to all those guys I worshipped when I was 16." Meanwhile, the biggest of all drum cameos is still out there. "I have John Bonham tattoos all over my arms," he says of the drummer, who died in 1980. "I learned to be a drummer by listening to the Zeppelin catalog." But Robert Plant hasn't called, and Grohl is no longer practicing the Zep canon. "The most important thing is that if they do a reunion tour, they find the person most capable of filling in for John Bonham. Of course, I would cut off my c___ to have that gig." The dream lives on.

Lakers grab playoff spot 0
The Nipissing Lakers men’s soccer team wrapped up a playoff spot Sunday, defeating the RMC Paladins 3-1 at Omischl Sports Field Complex.
The Lakers (4-4-4) have two games left in their season.
Saturday, Nipissing fell 2-0 against Queen’s in a game at R.J. Surtees Field at Nipissing.
“We came out flat yesterday,” coach Carlo DeVuono said following Sunday’s win. “We wanted to come out with some intensity today and we did. We didn’t give up too many scoring chances” in Sunday’s game, while the Lakers’ offence showed a potency lacking the Saturday’s game.
The Lady Lakers (0-11-3) tied RMC 3-3 Sunday, after falling to Queen’s 6-0 Saturday.
The men got off to a quick start Sunday, leading 2-0 at the end of the first period. Tyler Doell scored with a header off a corner kick in the 10th minute.
In the 21st minute, Ryan Mantle charged in from the side, slipping it past the Paladins’ keeper before he was aware of the danger.
RMC pulled within one in the second half with Yoon Su An taking advantage of a mass crowd in front of the Nipissing net to put one in, before Doell headed his second into the Paladins’ net on another corner kick.
Doell and Su An were named Lakers’ and Paladins’ MVPs respectively.
In the womens match, RMC got off to a quick start, with Michelle Hamilton scoring at the four-minute mark of the first period. Nipissing responded with Stefani Giftopoulos scoring in the 21st and 27th minutes, before Lisa Udegbunam tied it up for RMC in the 43rd minute.
Giftopoulos earned her hat trick in the 49th minute, before Hamilton got her second of the day in the 84th.
Giftopoulos was named home MVP, while Hamilton took visiting MVP honours.
The women’s team will be in action Saturday against the University of Toronto at Varsity Stadium at noon, with the men’s teams taking the field at 2:15 p.m.

Dante Zamboni was born in Modena in 1905. He was trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, where he studied under the sculptor and painter Giuseppe Graziosi, who introduced him to a balanced verism influenced by 15th-century Tuscan sculpture.
After completing his studies, he returned to Modena, where he began exhibiting a series of sculptures inspired by the world of everyday life and rural work, following the example of his master Graziosi.
Sculpture in the 1930s and 1940s: a refined reworking of ancient models
One of the works that immediately won the approval of the critics was Coutry Harmonies, whose success guaranteed him entry to the 1930 Venice Biennale, where he made his debut with a Monello.
The following year he exhibited at the I Quadriennale in Rome, presenting himself with the vibrant and realistic bronze Stone Cutter, and began a research increasingly akin to that of a return to order, based on the redefinition of ancient models, as can also be seen in the Bather exhibited at the Interprovincial Exhibition in Piacenza. The study of classical statuary, filtered through Donatello’s austere ponderation, is also revealed in other sculptures of the 1930s, including The Desperate, Christ at the Column and The Nativity, presented at the 1933 Florence Trade Union Exhibition.
His activity as an engraver
In the meantime, Dante Zamboni, still following the example of Giuseppe Graziosi, started a conspicuous production of engravings, beginning with The Stations of the Cross, presented at the 1934 Biennale and followed by the illustrations of the heroicomic poem La Secchia rapita by the Modenese poet Alessandro Tassoni, produced on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of his death, in 1935, and exhibited at the 1942 Biennale.
His intense exhibition activity reflected the growing approval of the regime’s critics, to whom Dante Zamboni also showed his affinity for the choice of certain subjects typically linked to Fascist rhetoric, such as The Winning Athlete, which appeared at the 1936 Biennial. In the field of engraving, however, he showed a marked closeness to the expressionist style, both in the prints dedicated to Dante’s Inferno and in those taken from Virgil.
His first public work dates back to 1938: the Allegory of Work executed for the lunette of the loggia of the Palazzo Comunale in Modena, in which he still respects the celebratory intent of the regime and stylistic affinities with the Novecento. In 1941, he was assistant to Italo Griselli’s chair of sculpture at the Accademia di Firenze and during the war years he continued to work hard, displaying the results at post-war exhibitions, including the 1956 Venice Biennale, where he presented Susanna. Active until the 1970s between Modena, Florence and Rome, especially in participating in competitions for public works, he died in Florence in 1981.

The Miami Heat defense impacts the Celtics offense like no other team has this season. Getting fewer looks and one-and-done trips down the floor got in the C’s heads, and this has made prop bet odds fly all over the map. The Heat on the other hand, seem to get better individual numbers when the Celtics are hitting shots because they push the ball more, in an effort to climb back in it, rather than burn clock.
So now that the Celtics aren’t dealing with the pressure of a sweep… should we expect better individual numbers for both teams and more prop bets going over? Let's take a look at today’s best Celtics/Heat prop bets!
Jayson Tatum Prop Bet: Over 30.5 points
Jayson Tatum registered a season-high (including the playoffs) 11 assists in the most recent 110-97 win over Miami. He was efficient from the field (50.0%) but attempted only 16 shots, his fewest attempts of the ECF series and the second-fewest of the postseason. It was the first time in the series that Tatum wasn’t the Celtics’ top scorer, but that shouldn’t be the case today in Game 6. The four-time All-Star scored more than 30 points in two of five games in this series but struggled from beyond the arc, shooting only 29%.
The C’s will need Tatum to go to the foul line frequently and score some easy ones, something he did successfully in the opening two games of the series (22 free throws made opposite just six in the last three games). The last time he faced Miami on the road, Tatum scored 33 points. I am looking for a similar scenario on Saturday. Look for the version of Jason Tatum who attacks the rim and gets to the line.
And if the Celtics do have a bad showing and are down 20 in the 4th, there is no reason to sit the starters or worry about extended minutes. Expect the starters to play even if they are down big.
My Prop bet Pick: Tatum over 30.5 points
Jaylen Brown Under 22.5 points
The Boston Celtics fans have been disappointed with Jaylen Brown’s playoff performance against the Heat... And rightfully so. Brown failed to score more than 22 points in five games and he reached 50.0% from the floor only once, in Game 5.
Brown did record five steals in the previous two games after going without a single steal or block in the opening three contests. However, he was held below 18 points in three out of five games. The second star of the C's needs to step up and help Tatum offensively, and although he could chip in a 20 spot in Game 6, the recent data suggests he will be held below 23 points. Jaylen was monstrous against Miami in three regular-season duels, averaging 33.7 ppg, but this is the playoffs and Miami knows how to defend him.
With near even money odds to make this bet I have to make my prop bet pick: Jaylen Brown under 22.5 points
Marcus Smart Over 5.5 assists
Boston’s point guard is averaging exactly 6.0 assists per contest in the ECF series. He had only two in the previous game but did score a series-high 23 points and tied the season-high in steals with five. Smart didn’t spend as much time on the floor though, logging just 30 minutes. The 2022 DOY had over 5 assists on three occasions during this series. In game 1, Smart recorded 11 dimes and had 6+ in two of the last three games.
As we mentioned we are looking for a big scoring outing from Tatum which bodes well for Smart’s assist numbers. This is my favorite prop bet for game 6!
My Prop bet Pick: Marcus Smart Over 5.5 assists
Jimmy Butler PTS+ASSTS Over 34.5
Jimmy Butler displayed a forgettable performance in Game 5 of the ECF. He scored only 14 points, a playoff-low, and had just ten attempts from the field (also playoff-low). After combining for 42 points and assists in Game 1, Butler failed to combine for more than 34 in the next four games. However, the Heat will need him badly on Saturday, and I am predicting Jimmy will respond with a big offensive showing. The Celtics will probably double him in the midrange, but look for Butler to find an open teammate and get a minimum of five assists.
Butler managed to get 5 dimes in each game this series, averaging 5.8 assists per contest. Butler is scoring 6.4 free throws per in this ECF series. We are counting on more trips to the line in a game the Celtics look to speed up. I am backing Jimmy to bounce back in Game 6.
This is not the strongest play at -125 at most sportsbooks. Keeping an eye on the odds across the market is smart. We need Jimmy to score about 29 points here to cover.
My Prop bet Pick: Jimmy Butler PTS+AST Over 34.5
Bam Adebayo to Record 1+ steals
Adebayo failed to register a steal in just four of 16 playoff games so far and in one of the five in this Celtics series. He also had at least a steal in each of four H2H duels in the regular season (two thefts in three of those games), which makes me back this as the slam dunk of best player props for Game 6.
Bam stole the ball twice in Game 5, and considering how the Heat are playing defense, especially at home, I don’t doubt that Adebayo will add a minimum of one steal this time out.
With a steal in 75% of his playoff games, the value is there at -180. The key to being up here long term is getting the best price. -160 at Fandual is a great bet.
My Prop bet Pick: Bam Adebayo to Record 1+ steals
Kevin Love Over 4.5 points
Kevin Love is not the player he used to be, but his experience makes him a valuable part of this Heat squad. He didn’t log more than 16 minutes per game in this series but managed to score more than 4 points in four of five games. On average, Love is making a three-pointer per contest in the series, and I expect he will hit at least one on Saturday.
Earlier in the season, when he played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Love faced the Celtics twice and scored nine and then eight points, respectively. In other words, the five-time All-Star scored 5+ points in six of seven games against Boston this year. Kevin even scored five points in a blowout Game 3 win when he played under five minutes.
At -120 and even at -140, this is a value play!
My Prop bet Pick: Kevin Love Over 4.5 points

Vicki on the Frontier
I have always been captivated by the history of the West. As a teenager I started reading books on pioneers and Native Americans and could easily lose myself for hours on end “in the past”. I’m one of those people who spend way more time thinking about the past than about the future and have the sense that, although a rugged and difficult life, I would have been at home on the frontier. I remember the first time I visited Ft. Laramie in Wyoming I felt a sense of homecoming. After reading about its role in frontier history for years I was finally there – and still today it is an awesome experience for me every time I visit the fort.
Nancy and I began our historic travels several years ago. We have covered much of the West but still have a lot to see in the East. It is great to have a sister who loves this history as much as I do. It has made for some incredible trips and a great many memories.
We cannot imagine traveling without historic destinations on the agenda. We are happiest with a walking stick and hiking shoes and our trip notebook that we make up before every trip which lists all of the places we do not want to miss.
We hope you enjoy riding the trail with us as we share the stories of the American Frontier.
(Vicki at the site of the Tom Jeffords Indian Agency, Ft. Bowie, AZ)
Nancy on the Frontier
I think being born in St. Joseph, Missouri – home of the Pony Express – probably accounts for my early fascination with history. That, and my grandmothers’ tales of their Civil War and pioneer ancestors. For me, genealogy and history always went hand-in-hand; you can’t really understand your ancestors until you understand the history that made up their everyday lives.
(Photo taken back in my skinny days. The “doctor” at Bent’s Old Fort offered to cure my ills by cutting off my fingers).
When my sister, Vicki, and I decided to create the Frontier Traveler site, we had already visited more of the historic sites of the West than most people will ever see in a lifetime. And, the more we saw the more we wanted to share.
I hope you enjoy browsing through our articles and photos – and maybe even meet up with us along the trail.


Opponents of a move to save money by ending Maryland's in-school driver education program warned today that it could result in significantly reduced job opportunities for teen-agers in families too poor to afford private driving lessons.
The program is the target of a group of state senators are seeking ways to cut the budget proposed in January by Gov. Marvin Mandel. They want to reduce next year's anticipated spending by enough to avoid a 1 per cent increase in the state sales tax That would raise $120 million.
Elimination of the $4.6 million in school driver education program is one of the major cuts they are hoping to effect. The program provides 30 hours of classroom training and six hours of behind-the-wheel training for students aged 15 years and older.
Maryland law provides that students who satisfactorily complete the program can obtain driver's licenses at age 16. Without completing a driver education course, Maryland residents are not eligible for driver's licenses until they are 18.
At a hearing today on a bill that would eliminate the driver education program, some senators and members of the public protested that an end to the program would reduce job opportunities for youths between 16 and 18 whose parents could not afford to send them to private driving schools.
"Many times students need a license to qualify for jobs," said Kitty Shoap, president of the Maryland Congress of PTA organisations.
"When kids go for a job, the first question people asked them is 'Do you have a driver's license,'" noted Sen. Clarence Blount (D-Baltimore). "If they don't have a driver's license, they might as well not waste the time to fill out an application."
There are only about 60 commercial driving schools in Maryland. In the Washington area such schools charge average of $91.50 for the six hours of behind-the-wheel training needed to get a driver's license at age 16, according to testimony at the hearing.
State Highway Administrator Ejner J. Johnson said the private schools cannot handle all the students in the state, and that poor students could not afford the schools in any case.
"For them, the effective age for a driver's license would be 18 rather than 16," Johnson said.
Today's hearing was a hastily called affair, held on less than one day's notice in response to a budget amendment offered Thursday on the Senate floor to delete from the budget the $4.6 million that funds the program.
The amendment, offered by Sen. John C. Coolahan (D-Baltimore County), appeared to have substantial support in the Senate. "What started out to be a well-intentioned program turned out to be a mess," declared Sen. John A. Cade (R-Anne Arundel). "Let's cut some of these frills we don't need," said Sen Frederick Malkus (D-Dorchester).
The Senate leadership, opposed to the amendment, deflected it late Thursday by pointing out that deleting the money from the budget would do no good unless legislation is passed to eliminate the program. Today's hearing was on a bill that would accomplish that purpose.
Virtually all of the state officials and members of local boards of education who appeared at the hearing - alerted by telegrams mailed by th Senate leadership early this morning - vigorously opposed ending the driver education program.
Highway Administrator Johnson said Maryland could lose as much as $18 million in federal highway safety and construction funds if the state ends the program because driver education is recommended in the federal highway safety law.
While all provisions of the law do not have to be met in order to qualify for federal funds, Johnson said, the federal government "expects the state to make a goodfaith movement toward compliance."
"We're very concerned that you do not cut this program," said Prince George's County school board member Maureen Steinecke.
The bill was defeated 7 to 4 in the Budget and Taxation Committee, but will be brought to the Senate floor, probably on Saturday, for action by the full body.
In other action, the first of several measures dealing with abortion cleared a key vote in the House. The bill, sponsored by Del. Leo E. Green (D-Prince George's), would change existing law by requiring physicians to notify parents before performing an abortion on an unmarried girl under 18.
Green, the father of five daughters, argued that it is "outrageous" that physicians now are required to notify parents before removing tonsils from a minor, but because of a 1972 law do not have to tell parents of an abortion.
Del. Torrey Brown (D-Baltimore), a physician, opposed the bill, saying it would force young girls to go to non-medical abortionists if they feared reprisals from their parents.
Debate on the death penalty was in its third day in the House, with members of the Black Caucus prepared to offer as many as 150 amendments in their effort to stall a vote.

CHAIN OF MERCY
They forgave him for the accident that killed their son, but he will never forgive himself.
Manhattan businessman Richard Brooks was at the top of the world, drunk with success, wealth, and women. And he proudly lived that prodigal lifestyle. Until one disastrous evening, when his world came crashing down.
Richard flees to Minneapolis where he repairs ancient boilers instead of solving corporate problems, and he s determined to live the solitary life he now deserves ...
Chained to his guilt. Blending in with the gray. No luxuries in sight.
But Executive Sheila Peterson has other plans for the handsome custodian. She s had it with serious relationships, and Richard appears to be the perfect match for the no-strings-attached romance she desires. Instead, she finds a man who is complex, brilliant, and shrouding a tormented past.
In her quest to uncover the secrets holding Richard captive, will her own secrets remain buried?
Stunning debut novel! An incredibly rich read that was hard to put down. Anderson has created a slice of real life within the pages of her book. Gritty, honest, heart-breaking. Packing an emotional punch that made it a struggle to read at times. Honestly, at one point I closed the book and tried to make up my own happily ever after without the angst. That lasted for all of about ten minutes. Then I gave in and opened the book again because I wanted to know what really happened to these amazingly flawed characters who had wormed their way into my affections.
Richard is the 'perfect' prodigal son. He's shucked the solid mid-Western values he's grown up with in favour of life in the fast lane. So, how does a boy who was raised so right go so wrong? It's a subject Anderson explores with unrelenting truthfulness. Richard's struggles, his self-condemnation and eventual triumph makes for a moving read.
Sheila is a lost soul who doesn't even realize that she's lost. A powerhouse executive, she has developed a hard edge that makes her difficult to like at first. But Anderson gradually uncovers a tale of loss and abuse that help make sense of the woman Sheila has become. The author artfully explores the whys behind the actions and then applies God's mercy in such a compassionate way I was left weeping.
A compelling story that celebrates the real meaning of grace with a unique perspective: accepting and receiving mercy creates a powerful chain reaction that spills over into the lives around you. What an awesome inspirational takeaway.

A research team from the Yale University School of Medicine has identified one of the most frequent gene mutations in melanoma skin cancer patients. The study entitled “Exome sequencing identifies recurrent mutations in NF1 and RASopathy genes in sun-exposed melanomas” appeared July 27, 2015 in Nature Genetics.
Melanoma is the most dangerous form of skin cancer caused by exposure to UV light from sunshine or tanning beds. Gene mutations, some of which are directly caused by UV exposure, have a crucial role in the development of melanoma (melanogenesis).
To gain a deeper knowledge of the gene mutations underlying melanoma development, researchers analyzed the DNA of 213 human melanoma samples. By using whole-exome sequencing, a technique that specifically sequences DNA regions in the genome coding for proteins, they identified mutations in the NF-1 gene, a tumor suppressor gene that is also a major player in melanogenesis. So far, the most known frequent mutations associated with malignant melanomas were in the BRAF and NRAS genes. “The key finding is that roughly 45% of melanomas that do not harbor the known BRAF or NRAS mutations display loss of NF1 function, which leads to activation of the same cancer-causing pathway,” said Michael Krauthammer, one of the corresponding authors of the study, in a press release.
Melanoma patients with NF-1 mutations were older and had a greater number of genetic alterations, including some in genes affecting the RAS–MAPK signalling pathway, known as RASopathy genes. These additional mutations may enhance melanogenesis of NF-1 since single alterations in the NF1 gene are not sufficient to cause skin cancer. “Loss of NF1 requires more accompanying changes to make a tumor,” Halaban explained. “Our study identified changes in about 100 genes that are present only in the malignant cells and are likely to be causative. This panel of genes can now be used in precision medicine to diagnose malignant lesions and can be applied to personalized cancer treatment.”
However, loss of NF1 function did not predict sensitivity to MEK or ERK inhibitors, two anti-melanoma drugs. Further research will hopefully contribute to elucidate the role of NF-1 in melanoma and may lead to the development of more targeted anti-cancer therapies.

Our Florida Neurofeedback Program helps assist in treating neurological damage in the brain without the use of medication. Because this process can help treat substance use disorders, neurofeedback addiction treatment is used by many medical professionals to help treat addiction to drugs and alcohol. Whether a person is new to recovery from their addiction or has tried to become sober before and relapsed, neurofeedback addiction treatment may provide a missing piece of the recovery puzzle.
How Neurofeedback Works
The origins of what became neurofeedback go back almost one hundred years, but it wasn’t until the 1960s that it was proven to be a way to help self-regulate the brain. It was applied to treat epilepsy and neuroses and help combat stress experienced by Vietnam veterans. Since then, its usage has become more common and is utilized to treat several conditions, including addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a subdivision of biofeedback treatment. Neurofeedback uses technological devices that gather information from a person’s brainwaves. The data is gathered through the use of monitoring devices, electronic sensors, and specialized software that interprets the information transmitted from the brain. Clinicians trained in neurofeedback then interpret the brain maps that were generated, which provides them with the ability to attempt to repair the damage done in the brain. It is a non-invasive procedure, meaning nothing is inserted into the head, and application of it does not require the use of drugs.
Neurofeedback treatment not only treats addiction to drugs and alcohol but also shows an ability to treat conditions including:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Sleep disorders
- Parkinson’s disease
- Concussions and traumatic brain injury
What Happens in a Neurofeedback Addiction Treatment Session
An individual with a substance use disorder consistently has cravings to use drugs or alcohol. This compulsion stems from a malfunction in the brain. Neurofeedback addiction treatment involves locating exactly where the structural damage is and attempting to repair it, thus helping reduce cravings for substances.
During the first appointment, an initial assessment of the patient will take place. It will typically involve learning their history with abuse, any treatment they’ve had in the past or are currently receiving, and deciding on goals to achieve. During sessions, a patient who receives neurofeedback treatment may dress however they wish and will sit comfortably in a chair. They remain awake for the entire session and are able to speak and otherwise interact with others.
The practitioner attaches electrodes to the person’s scalp that transmit data to a software program. It records the brain wave activity, allowing the practitioner to see where damage has occurred and formulate a plan to help alleviate it. Stimulus is introduced, such as music, other sounds, or a video game or activity the person will participate in.
The electrode sensors gather data from the person’s brain and display them so the practitioner can read and interpret them. How the person’s brain activity responded to the stimuli can tell a neurofeedback expert a lot. They can identify the parts of the brain related to addiction that involve underactivity, overactivity, or inactivity. Through guidance from the practitioner, a person can learn to help control their brain, resulting in healthier patterns that reduce the symptoms of addiction.
Common Questions About Neurofeedback
While any questions a person who is interested in neurofeedback addiction treatment has can be directed to the provider, here are some answers to some commonly asked questions:
Will the electrodes leave evidence?
The electrodes applied to the head are non-invasive and do not leave any punctures or bruising. The ones applied directly to the scalp will not leave any sticky residue. The electrodes are often attached to something similar to a swimmer’s cap that goes on the person’s head, which is simply removed after the session is completed.
How long does a session last?
A session typically lasts from 30-45 minutes.
How will I feel after a session?
Many people report feeling relaxed both during neurofeedback addiction treatment and in the time immediately following their appointments. A person who has received neurofeedback can drive themselves home and resume their normal activities.
Can I take medications while receiving neurofeedback?
Because neurofeedback itself does not involve taking any medications, it will not interfere with meds a person is already taking.
How long does it take to feel the effects of neurofeedback?
Several sessions are needed to achieve maximum effect, with the provider determining how many are needed and how often to have them. Most people report feeling a positive change after several weeks of sessions.
Side Effects of Neurofeedback
While most people have little or no side effects with neurofeedback addiction treatments, some can happen. This can include feeling anxious, headaches, feeling foggy-headed, nightmares, low energy, muscle tension, and difficulty sleeping. It’s important to let the practitioner know of any side effects experienced either during or after a session so any necessary adjustments can be made.

MEERUT, June 16 -- Long queues of tractors, full of wheat sacks, were seen at different wheat procurement centres in Bulandshahr district on the last day of the procurement on Tuesday.
Anxious over missing the deadline, farmers demanded the extension of date for procurement so that they are not compelled to sell their produce at much lower price than government declared minimum support price (MSP) of Rs 1,975 per quintal.
Bulandshahr is a major wheat producing district in the region and the administration has established 117 wheat procurement centres here.
District magistrate (DM) Ravindra Kumar claimed that 1.42 lakh metric ton of wheat was procured this year in comparison to 92,000 metric ton last year.

You may know from experience that the U.S. federal family leave program is dismal. In fact, the U.S. is the only industrialized country in the world without paid leave for the birth of a child. But although that may soon change under President Trump, a number of states have already stepped up and created their own paid family leave programs, including California, Rhode Island, New Jersey and, as of this month, Washington state. One of the latest states to join that group, New York, just released the official family leave regulations — and the state has set the bar high.
What New York’s program offers
New York’s paid family leave program was set in motion back in April 2016. This week, New York governor Andrew Cuomo has announced that as of January 2018, New York employees will be able to start taking advantage of it, including when they welcome a new baby or during pregnancy for health reasons.
For up to one year after the birth of a baby, New York employees will get 12 weeks of paid time off at two-thirds of their weekly salary, up to $875 (67 percent of the average weekly salary). What’s more, both parents get that guaranteed 12 weeks — so one parent could take 12 weeks, the other another 12 weeks, for a total of 24 weeks to care for a newborn.
Of course, there are a couple of caveats. If you work fewer than 20 hours per week, you must have worked at least 175 days on the job to be eligible, and if you work for more than 20 hours per week, you need to have been at your job for 26 consecutive weeks. The program will be eased in gradually, so workers won’t get the full 12 weeks at 67 percent of their salary until 2021. And employees need to give at least 30 days advance notice if the event (like the birth of a baby) is at all foreseeable. Those are pretty small requirements compared to the big benefits the program offers.
Better than other states’ programs
Compared to almost all of the other existing and proposed programs in the U.S., New York’s is a gem. President Trump’s proposed plan offers just six weeks of paid leave to both moms and dads, and because the details are fuzzy, it’s unclear how much of their salary people may receive or who qualifies. Other states also only offer between four and six weeks of paid leave, and with lower caps: California pays out 55 percent of your salary, while New Jersey caps their benefits at $604 per week and Rhode Island at $770. Only Washington surpasses New York’s offering, with a minimum of 12 weeks paid leave and up to 90 percent of workers’ weekly salary (max $1,000).
An affordable model?
Perhaps the most reassuring news for the rest of the country is the cost to New York residents is relatively reasonable. Employees foot the bill for the program, but there’s a cap, with a max contribution per employee of 0.126 percent up to the statewide weekly average salary of $1,305.92. If you earn less than that average, you pay less; if you earn more you pay a max of $1.65 per week.
Here’s to hoping that, as long as the program works, a similar one may be set up in other states and maybe even nationwide.

Misinformation, free attacks, hate spreading on the web, precisely to counter all this, at least apparently, a government had been established Task force composed of 16 “experts” with the function of identifying and contrasting episodes of this kind: Massimo Mantellini is also part of the team, finished in the last hours at the center of strong controversy for a comment on Twitter.
The writer from Forlì, born in 1961, is a well-known commentator on the printed press, since he collaborates with both Espresso and Il Post, but also online contributes to specialized sites such as “Punto Informatico” and “Eraclito”, dedicating himself to technology and internet.
During yesterday afternoon, really Mantellini he let himself go to a decidedly heavy and not “politically correct” comment, as the role assumed by him in the governmental control body created to fight hatred on the net should impose.“I’ll say it slowly: let’s close the Lombards in Lombardy. At least for this summer “.
Obviously, the writer’s tweet has triggered a real media ruckus, which is starting to find firm positions on the matter also in the political world. The leader of the Carroccio Matteo Salvini he entrusted Twitter with his spicy reply to reply to Mantellini:“The government-appointed” intellectual “expert for the online hate task force speaks. But do you realize? Disgusting.”
The secretary of the Lombard League Salvini premier Paolo Grimoldi increase the dose by replicating on Facebook.“I say it very softly: let’s close Mantellini (chosen by the Conte government) for the task force against hatred online in a mental hygiene center”.
“This government of incompetent over everything has managed to appoint this gentleman as an expert in the task force against online hatred”he added then, as reported by LaPresse.“In the face … Now Conte have at least the decency of to hunt immediately leave this Mantellini from the task force “.
The League asks to urgently summon the writer to the Chamber of Deputies.“Discriminating Lombardy and Lombardy, all the more so at the moment, is unbecoming. Even more serious, if this action is committed by one of the components, identified by the Government, of the task force set up to counter the rampant phenomenon ofhate online “, MEPs Giulio Centemero and Massimiliano Capitanio declare in a joint statement.“In respect for the victims and their families, as well as for all those who have struggled and worked to overcome the epidemic in recent months, we will convene Mr. Mantellini in the Chamber in Fake News Commission and then we will ask Minister Pisano to remove him from office. Thinking of closing the Lombards in Lombardy “, they continue,“is a clear provocative act towards the Region and a lack of respect towards all Italians for whom the Government should guarantee equal rights. looting the media that we have witnessed in recent months must have gotten out of hand to the Government, if even one of its representatives allows such outpourings “, they conclude.
And on the words of Mantellini, the MEP and coordinator of Forza Italia in Lombardy Massimiliano Salini also intervened: “It is grotesque that just a member of the working group on hatred on the net indulges in similar statements on social media. We need respect and support for the Lombards, who currently need everything except generic, inappropriate and bad taste jokes on the web “.

People who live in the United States live by the words of the Constitution of the United States, which states, “The Constitution recognizes a number of inalienable human rights, including freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, freedom from cruel and unusual punishment, and the right to a fair trial by jury.” That is why many people from foreign countries, including Africa, come to the United States to enjoy these freedoms and become the best they can be.
The people of Africa as well as other areas of the globe can enjoy some of the same freedoms as the people in the United States of America due to a London-based human rights organization known as Article 19. Article 19 was established in 1987. It takes its name from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states, ‘Everyone has the right of freedom of opinion and expression; the right includes the freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impact information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers.” Article 19 monitors threats to free expression around the globe and provides legal counsel for all whose rights have been violated.
Article 19 has a strong presence in Africa. Recently, it helped Kenya get a victory for freedom of speech. Here is what article 19 accomplished for the people of Kenya;
Article 19 welcomes the decision by the High Court, which declared eight sections of Security Laws (Amendment) Act 2014 unconstitutional. “Article 19 welcomes the decision by the High Court that several sections of the Security Laws (Amendment) Act 2014 are unconstitutional, in particular those which unduly restrict freedom of expression.
You may wonder how this helps Africans who already reside in the United States. The answer is simple. Having the peace of mind of knowing that being an African that once lived in Africa and now having the ability to learn all that is happening in their home country with very few restrictions, with the help of Article 19, gives them peace of mind and hope that things will continue to change for the better and that they can always stay in contact without restrictions.
