Last night was one of those times when everything seems to fall into place. The Shining Light CD launch at The Grace Emily went like a song. Funny about that.
Good people, plenty of them, good music, good vibes and good pints (plenty of them, too).
The Grace is a terrific venue. Such a groovy room and, thankfully, it doesn't take too many bodies to fill it up nicely.
It's days (nights, actually) like yesterday that remind me why being a songer-singwriter is worthwhile.
Thank you, one and all.

The Ugly, Unfinished Fight for Suffrage
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- August 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which recognized women’s right to vote. The milestone conjures up sepia images of White women in white dresses carrying picket signs. Victory seems inevitable. After all, the arc of history bends towards justice, right? As the grandmother of the movement, Susan B. Anthony, said in her last major speech, “Failure is impossible.”
But a closer look at the fight for the vote reminds us: The arc of history bends only when it is forced to. And always, the work is contentious, progress is uncertain, and victory is incomplete.
Women today have the vote not because a bunch of Gibson girls politely asked for it. We have it because generations of women engaged in bitter and divisive trench warfare — sometimes with their opponents, and sometimes with one another — and because eventually they changed the minds of enough powerful men.
Anthony is often the only suffragist people have heard of, and even then they don’t know much about her. But she was a giant in her day. When, in old age, she collapsed while giving a speech, the Associated Press wired their reporter: “Send us 5,000 words if she is alive. Unlimited if she is dead.”
Even so, the work of suffrage wasn’t the work of one woman. It was the work of decades, and thousands of activists who didn’t always agree with one another’s principles, tactics or priorities.
The suffrage movement grew out of the anti-slavery movement, at a time when female voting was seen as even more radical than abolition. Activists who privately wished women could vote worried that a public campaign for suffrage would make their other progressive causes seem ridiculous by association. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the Thomas Jefferson of the suffrage movement, introduced 11 resolutions at the Seneca Falls women’s rights convention in 1848, and 10 were approved without argument — only suffrage was debated. It passed after Frederick Douglass voiced his support.
Reconstruction tore the suffrage movement in two. Before the Civil War, abolitionists had campaigned for universal suffrage. But when Congress introduced the 15th amendment, granting voting rights to Black men but not to women, the movement split. (The politicians in power calculated that freed slaves would vote loyally for whoever enfranchised them. But women, who knew what they’d do?)
Some progressives argued that this incremental victory was better than nothing; others wanted to hold out for the original goal of universal suffrage. Old allies became bitter enemies, and each side felt betrayed. What followed was 20 years of wandering in the wilderness for female voting rights, and the rise of Jim Crow laws disenfranchising Black men in the South.
Arguments over race and gender equality are always intertwined, and Jim Crow laws in part stemmed from a failed attempt to win women’s suffrage through the courts. In the 1874 decision Minor v. Happersett, the Supreme Court ruled that states could restrict the franchise, denying it to women if they wanted to. Southern states took this as an invitation to introduce new rules that stole the vote from generations of Black men.
With the old alliance between abolition and suffrage shattered, the suffrage movement began to attract outright racists. Some Southern suffragists began to argue that only by enfranchising White women could the South hope to have the votes needed to maintain White supremacy. Some Northern White suffragists privately agreed with them — but were happy to let the Southern women be the ones making the ugly argument. Even some former abolitionists, who had fought for years to end slavery, were enraged at being told they were “less than” the men they’d helped to enfranchise — not to mention the new immigrants coming into the country.
Activists who didn’t share these sentiments swallowed their disgust for the sake of forging a coalition broad enough to win the vote. Anthony, who fired her secretary on the spot for refusing to work with Black activist Ida B. Wells, would make common cause with almost anyone who supported women’s right to vote. This included polygamous Mormon women from Utah (to the horror of her East Coast allies). It included the highly controversial temperance movement. And it included White supremacist women who explicitly offered their vote as a way to negate Black ballots.
The result was a movement that often courted Black women, who were well-organized and fully committed to the cause, but then turned around and asked them to march at the back of the parade.
The women fighting for suffrage argued bitterly over these alliances, and over the best strategy for securing victory.
Mainstream suffragists distanced themselves from the tactics of radicals like Alice Paul, who was the first to organize protests in front of the White House (in, yes, Lafayette Square). Once President Wilson started having these women imprisoned for crimes such as “obstructing the sidewalk,” Paul and her picketers committed to hunger strikes.
Some suffragists wanted to focus only on winning the vote; others wanted a broader platform of reform. Stanton, for example, became more radical with age and published an egalitarian Bible. Younger activists were embarrassed, and in 1895, the organization Stanton had once presided over formally repudiated her. (Don’t let anyone tell you Twitter invented cancel culture.)
Some wanted a constitutional amendment; others preferred state-by-state laws. A federal amendment would settle the issue once and for all, but if it failed it would be a massive setback; the state strategy seemed to assure at least a partial victory. Again, race was a dividing line: A state-level strategy would leave out Southern Black women, which was precisely why some White suffragists preferred it. On the other hand, a federal amendment that enfranchised all women (at least in principle) would need to be ratified by some Southern states — which would give activists from the Jim Crow South a significant say in the movement.
As flawed and fractious as it was, the movement succeeded. The Anthony Amendment was ratified on Aug. 18, 1920 — squeaking through by a single vote in Tennessee — and became law on Aug. 26.
Anthony herself didn’t live to see it.
Most popular histories say it took 72 years for women to win the right to vote, dating the start of the movement to 1848, but in truth it took longer — the idea that women were full U.S. citizens who deserved the vote wasn’t born in Seneca Falls.
Eleanor Flexner’s seminal history of the suffrage movement is called “Century of Struggle.” From that perspective, women have now been voting as long as it took them to win the right to do so.
And that’s only White women. Black and Native Americans would not be able to exercise their right to vote, regardless of sex, until the Voting Rights Act passed 45 years later.
Nor is this long fight finished. Today, millions of people in the U.S. remain disenfranchised: 6 million who’ve been convicted of felonies, who are disproportionately Black; 4 million living in U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico and Guam; 74 million citizens under the age of 18; and 13 million taxpaying permanent legal residents. We might also count the 700,000 residents of Washington D.C., whose congressional representatives lack voting power.
As a practical matter, the disenfranchised also include anyone who can’t get time off from work to vote, anyone who is improperly turned away at the polls, anyone whose polling place is too crowded to let them vote in a reasonable amount of time, and anyone intentionally discouraged from voting by strict voter ID laws: More than 21 million Americans don’t have a photo ID, and most of them are Black. In this year’s election, the right to vote may be heavily determined by who can get a mail-in ballot.
If Anthony and her allies were alive today, they would surely celebrate a century of suffrage. But then they’d get back to work.
Several sources were helpful to me in researching this column. Here are a handful: “When and Where I Enter” by Paula Giddings and “African American Women in the Struggle for the Vote” by Rosalyn Terborg-Penn are required reading for understanding the racial politics of the movement. Susan Ware’s “Why They Marched” is thoroughly researched and highly entertaining (I read it on the beach). The podcast “She Votes!” by Ellen Goodman and Lynn Sherr is a delight. And the documentary “Not for Ourselves Alone” by Ken Burns is easy to find on streaming platforms and shockingly short (for Burns) at three hours.

Hair is primarily made of protein, so it makes sense to eat protein-rich foods if you’re trying to maintain healthy growth. Without adequate protein intake, the body can’t efficiently make new hair to replace the hair that’s shed. That said, eating a steak every day isn’t going to help you. High-fat diets result in increased testosterone levels, which have been linked to hair loss—so steaks are not among the foods that prevent hair loss. Stick to leaner proteins such as fish (which has myriad health benefits beyond just maintaining your hair), chicken, soy products, low-fat cheese, eggs, almonds, beans, and yogurt.

text: Most drugs are intended to act on molecular targets residing within a specific tissue or cell type. Therefore, the drug concentration within the target tissue or cells is most relevant to its pharmacological effect. Increasing evidences suggest that drug transporters not only play a significant role in governing systemic drug levels, but are also an important gate keeper for intra-tissue and intracellular drug concentrations. This review focuses on polyspecific organic cation transporters, which include the organic cation transporters 1–3 (OCT1-3), the multidrug and toxin extrusion proteins 1–2 (MATE1-2) and the plasma membrane monoamine transporter (PMAT). Following an overview of the tissue distribution, transport mechanisms, and functional characteristics of these transporters, we highlight the studies demonstrating the ability of locally expressed OCTs to impact intracellular drug concentrations and directly influence their pharmacological and toxicological activities. Specifically, OCT1-mediated metformin access to its site of action in the liver is impacted by genetic polymorphisms and chemical inhibition of OCT1. The impact of renal OCT2 and MATE1/2-K in cisplatin intrarenal accumulation and nephrotoxicity is reviewed. New data demonstrating the role of OCT3 in salivary drug accumulation and secretion is discussed. Whenever possible, the pharmacodynamic response and toxicological effects is presented and discussed in light of intra-tissue and intracellular drug exposure. Current challenges, knowledge gaps, and future research directions are discussed. Understanding the impact of transporters on intra-tissue and intracellular drug concentrations has important implications for rational-based optimization of drug efficacy and safety.

A TRUE STORY OF LOVE, BLUES, AND TERROR IN TEL AVIV
A Graphic Novel
Written by Jack Baxter and Joshua Faudem Illustrated by Koren Shadmi
There's a rule at Mike's Place: never, ever talk politics or religion. At this blues bar on the Tel Aviv beachfront, an international cast of characters mingles with the locals, and everyone is welcome to grab a beer and forget the conflict outside. At least, that's the story Jack and Joshua want to tell in their documentary.
But less than a month after they begin filming, Mike's Place is the target of a deadly suicide bombing. Jack, Joshua, and the Mike's Place family survive the only way they know how – by keeping the camera rolling.
Written by filmmakers Jack Baxter and Joshua Faudem and illustrated by award-winning cartoonist Koren Shadmi, Mike's Place chronicles the true story of an infamous terrorist attack in painstaking detail. Rarely has the slow build to tragedy, and the rebirth that follows, been captured with such a compassionate and unflinching eye.

For the last few years, CBD has been in the limelight, making headlines. But there is another cannabinoid flying low on the radar that very few people know about, and it is Delta 8 THC.
Though unknown to many, it has now slowly come out from hiding mainly because of the impressive list of positive effects and medicinal benefits that Delta 8 carries. With tons of research going on to find its full potential, there are already a few benefits that have come to light.
Experience Benefits without The High
Delta 9 THC is the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis plants. It is the compound that makes you feel high. Delta 8 THC has less harmful psychoactive effects compared to that of Delta 9.
Many researches show that Delta 8 can provide therapeutic effects similar to that of Delta 9 without the unwanted side effects. This lack of psychoactive property is significant as there are fewer chances of getting high, and instead, you get increased focus and concentration along with a calming effect.
It Has Cancer-Fighting Properties
Cannabis has always played an active role in fighting cancer. There are researches supporting this dating back to the 1970s with proofs and studies validating its potency. In 1974, government researchers worked on studying the properties of Delta 8 THC for cancer treatment.
They used mice for the research and discovered that those treated with Delta 8 had reduced tumor sizes. The survival time of those mice was also high.
Has Various Antiemetic Properties
Delta 8 decreases the chemotherapy side-effects like vomiting and nausea in cancer patients. The antiemetic property of the cannabis plants makes this possible. Israel conducted research in 1995 to back up this theory.
They administered Delta 8 to pediatric cancer patients who suffered from nausea after chemotherapy. The result showed dramatic improvements in those patients with a 100% success rate. Along with this, Delta 8 did not have any other side effects, including the psychoactive effects.
As a part of the research in the USA, delta 8 showed to be 200% effective as an antiemetic compared to Delta 9.
Improves Cognitive Functions
Delta 8 shows promising effects in treating Alzheimer’s and other cognitive issues. A study in 1987 on mice proved that delta 8 increases the acetylcholine levels in the hippocampus and cortex and decreases the hippocampus’s acetylcholine turnover. The declining level of acetylcholine in the brain is associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
Delta 8 also has appetite-stimulating properties. During a study in 2004 on rodents, researchers found that those treated with delta 8 THC seemed to have developed a good appetite compared to those treated with Delta 9.
Has Anti-Anxiety Properties
Delta 8 also exhibits positive effects when it comes to anxiety. Medications that impede anxiety are anxiolytics, and Delta 8 is said to be an effective anxiolytic agent. Even when taken in high doses, Delta 8 is less likely to bring on anxiety than Delta 9. It offers a better clear-minded experience with lesser anxiety.
To wrap it up, Delta 8 comes loaded with so many health benefits that Delta 9 THC may lack. So find the right retailer to buy pure Delta 8 products to experience its array of positive effects.

Our firm was hired last year to represent a Savannah man accused of being a co-conspirator in a major drug trafficking case. The alleged drug conspiracy involved 10 kilograms of cocaine that was being transported by van from Atlanta to Savannah.
After we successfully suppressed an illegal wiretap and our client’s statements, prosecutors agreed to drop all charges against our client. The dismissal was filed in open court yesterday.
The case began a couple of years ago when the Chatham Counter Narcotics Team placed a wiretap on an individual accused of trafficking cocaine from Atlanta to Savannah. Based on the tap and other information, the Chatham County Sheriff’s Department pulled over a van being driven by a different individual in November 2008. Inside the van, police found 10 kilos of cocaine. Police then began arresting individuals they believed they heard on the wire tap.
Our client was one of those individuals. Police interrogated our client without ever reading him his Miranda warnings in the hopes of eliciting incriminating statements. He was then indicted for conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance and trafficking in cocaine. The trafficking in cocaine charge alone carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in prison.
We fought and won a motion to suppress the statements our client made to police during his interrogation. Under Georgia and federal law, only voluntary statements may be used against a defendant in a criminal trial. For a statement during a custodial interrogation to be voluntary, police must first give the defendant his Miranda warnings. In this case, such a warning was not given, and as a result, our client’s statements were suppressed.
Along with a Savannah criminal lawyer who represented a co-defendant, we were also able to suppress all phone conversations recorded on the wiretap.
With the wiretap and statements suppressed, the state had no evidence which linked our client to the 10 kilos of cocaine, other than the fact that our client may have known some of the alleged co-conspirators.
We were fortunate to have been successful in our pretrial motions. Drug conspiracy cases like this one can lead to very long prison sentences if the person is convicted at trial, regardless of the person’s alleged role in the conspiracy.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Gay rights advocates are striking back against the so-called "Don't say gay" bill proposed in the Missouri house.
They’ve created the “It’s Okay to Say Gay” website ( http://oktosaygay.org ) in response to the law, which would outlaw any discussion of homosexuality and GLBT groups in public schools.
Many Missourians have already shared their experiences on the site – including some who say they were bullied in school for being gay.
A user named Cody wrote: "I was harassed all through high school. This did not occur on a weekly basis, or even a daily basis. No, harassment because of my perceived sexual orientation took place on an HOURLY basis… I seriously contemplated suicide, all based on the hateful and hurtful things I heard at school.”
The group has also started a petition to protest the bill.

Science fiction poses particular dilemmas for referential reading practices privileged in ethnic literary studies and African American literature. Because science fiction often requires the reader to discern the governing norms and values of its constructed, alternative world, it questions the traditional contexts and visual cues by which racial difference appears as racial difference at all. In this essay, Jerng first analyzes how race has been read in science fiction. Cataloging the practices of reading race in science fiction tells us a great deal about how we notice race and the underlying rules whereby racial markers are seen as significant or insignificant. Jerng then turns to the work of Samuel R. Delany, in particular his best-selling novel Dhalgren, to suggest how its narrative strategies lie in rewriting the readability of racial difference. By focusing on reading practices, Jerng turns the attention of critical race theory and SF studies toward the problem of how we notice and evaluate race within the social field. Drawing on frameworks from philosophies of imagination and perception, as well as theories of virtuality, the essay highlights the cognitive and perceptual strategies used to structure the appearance of race. In relocating the role of perception in the task of reading race, the observation of a conventional racial marker no longer serves as a starting point, as something already found in literary texts, but as the effect of a problem of world construction that reconfigures subjects and objects.

John Canaparius (German: Johannes Canaparius) was a Benedictine monk at the Aventine monastery in Rome. It had long been assumed that in the year 999 he wrote the first Vita sancti Adalberti episcopi Pragensis, or "Life of St. Adalbert of Prague" just two years after Adalbert's death.
Adalbert was sent by Pope Gregory V to convert the pagan Old Prussians to Christianity and had come to Prussia, apparently taking the route along the Vistula River to reach the Baltic Sea at „urbem Gyddanzyc“., which is identified with the later Gdańsk (Danzig). Then a small trading and fishing settlement with wooden buildings, it was anyway recorded by Canaparius as „urbs“, city.
It is, however, now assumed by Johannes Fried, that the 'Vita' was not written by Canaparius, but was written down in Liège, with the oldest traceable version having been at the imperial Adalbert shrine at Aachen. It was only recently recovered at the Marienstift, and is used to reconstruct the archetype of the 'Vita'. Bishop Notger of Liège, a hagiographer himself, apparently had knowledge of the earlier handwritten Vita from Aachen. The imperial court at Aachen had in 997 assembled immediately upon receiving word of Adalbert's death and had thereupon planning the upcoming events.
Another famous biographer of Adalbert was St. Bruno of Querfurt who wrote his hagiography in 1001-1004.

- The presidential candidate of Malawi's ruling United Democratic Front (UDF) party, Bingu Mutharika, has threatened to sue the 'Weekend Nation' and 'The Dispatch' newspapers for what he referred to as "defamatory" articles. The newspapers had referred to an inter-governmental report over Mr Mutharika's "abuse of office".
In early May, the two newspapers ran a series of stories alleging that Mr Mutharika was fired as Secretary-General of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) for "abuse of office" and "failure to motivate his management team".
The articles were published after President Bakili Muluzi publicly stated that Mr Mutharika was the only qualified candidate who can "scoop Malawi from its economic malaise."
The two Malawian newspapers quoted a report by a special committee that was set up to audit COMESA, according to reports from the Windhoek-based Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA). The COMESA committee's findings led to Mr Mutharika's dismissal from the group in 1997.
At a 10 May press conference in Blantyre, Malawi's second city, Mr Mutharika said the articles were "a devious fabrication" aimed at destroying his name. Controversial presidential candidate Mutharika, who only allowed two questions during the briefing, said the audit report was false and had not been signed.
However, Alfred Ntonga, editor-in-chief of Nation Publications Limited, which publishes the 'Nation' and 'Weekend Nation', said his company would stand by its story as its sources were reliable. 'The Dispatch' managing editor Martines Namingah also defended his newspaper.
President Muluzi is conducting a tour in the country, promoting his chosen successor as the only hope for the nation. In 1999, the President told Malawians that Mr Mutharika misused money at COMESA. Ironically, President Muluzi chaired COMESA at the time that Mr Mutharika was dismissed. He now claims that his protégé was fired because of office politics.
Following his dismissal from COMESA, Mr Mutharika hastily formed the United Party (UP) in 1999, at which time he was a candidate in the presidential elections. He emerged last out of five candidates and has since rejoined the ruling UDF. President Muluzi hand-picked Mr Mutharika as the UDF torchbearer, leading to a mass exodus of the party's founding members.

I am sure you’ll benefit from this whether you are a songwriter, a jazz guy or into speed metal. In the PDF file you’ll find some of the chords I show you in the video.

Ural-Press subscription and delivery agency
To develop a collective New Year gift for the clients of Ural-Press.
To create a “Every Day is a Holiday” tabletop game that can be played at corporate events and enjoyed in a family circle.
“Every Day is a Holiday” is a variation of a well-known game called “Crocodile”. The players draw cards and have to explain words from those cards with gestures. The goal is to name different traditional and contemporary holidays from around the world. We collected more than 600 holidays and picked 365 from them – one for each day of the year. Every card contains 1 holiday and 5 things associated with it. The total amount of cards in the game is 365, so the total amount of associations is 1825.The most important and interesting holidays are illustrated with colorful graphic stories – 21 in total. The gift set contains: a box, game field, chips, game instructions (which contain game rules and descriptions of the most interesting holidays) and game cards.

Top best answers to the question «Roundabouts are intersections that are controlled by a traffic officer»
- A roundabout is an uncontrolled intersection or an intersection controlled by road signs where traffic moves counterclockwise around a central island. Access to the roundabout is usually controlled by YIELD signs that may be duplicated with additional yield line pavement markings.


Double-engine helicopters have long been a staple of the Indian Army and Air Force but this one is the first of its kind in the world.
The Sukhoi Su-30MKI is the latest aircraft in the country’s indigenous design family and its development is credited with making it the world’s most advanced aircraft.
The aircraft is one of the most advanced in the Middle East and is considered to be one of its most important military capabilities.
The Su-32MKI, which was unveiled in March 2018, was also developed in India and its design has been adopted by the United States and Russia.
The US Navy has used the aircraft to conduct surveillance missions in the Arabian Gulf, as well as to conduct naval exercises.
A Sukhois fighter jet can carry an estimated 1,000kg of cargo, including ammunition and weapons.
The Indian government, however, has also said it would use the aircraft as a strike platform.
The plane has a range of 1,500km and is capable of taking off from an altitude of up to 20,000m.
Its radar, a twin-stream, three-element design, can detect targets from a distance of 2,000-3,000km and has a maximum speed of Mach 3.3.
Its engines are capable of operating up to 12,000rpm and it has a crew of up at least 12.
Its main rotor blades are 7.1m and its nose wheel is 2.7m long.
The plane is a twin fuselage aircraft, with two separate wings, a tail fin and a wingtip that can be used for a vertical take-off and landing.
The tail is made of composite materials and can be painted black or white depending on the mission.
Su-30A fighter aircraft – India’s Sukhoisan MiG-29K variant, which has been the backbone of the military since the 1980s, according to US Department of Defense.
Photo: US Air Force/Facebook The Sukhuis are designed to operate in remote areas, in a very dry environment and in hostile airspace, with a range that extends well beyond the Indian coast, making them ideally suited for operations that require precision strikes and to provide support to ground forces operating on the ground.
It can carry a range between 5,000 and 7,000 kilometres and can carry up to 1,200kg of payload.
The Su-29 and MiG29K variants are the mainstay of the Air Force’s fighter fleet and are also in service with the Indian Navy.
The MiG 29K, an upgrade to the MiG 30K that replaced it, was first delivered in 1994.
The Sukhoigas mainstay aircraft is a single fuselage, two-seater fighter jet.
It has a max speed of about Mach 2.6, and its range can reach up to 2,500 kilometres.
The jet can take off from a height of about 15,000 metres and carry up in excess of a tonne of munitions.
The wingspan of a single MiG jet can be as high as 10m, and the wingspan is about 5m wide.
MiG 29 and MiGG 29 are variants of the Mi-17 jet fighter jet that first appeared in the 1970s.
They are both based on the Mi G-17.
The two-seat fighter jet has a wingspan as high at 10m as the MiGs twin-seaters, and can operate from a range up to 5,800km.
The single-seat jet can also carry up a ton of munitions, but the wings and tail are much smaller.
The jets have been in service for almost 30 years and the US Navy’s first combat test was in 1996.
The MiG fighter jets of the Soviet Union were also among the most technologically advanced fighters in the World.
The fighters were designed to deliver a wide range of air-to-air, air-ground and air-sea attacks.
The Soviet MiG 27, a two-place fighter jet, is a successor of the aircraft that was designed in the early 1980s and is a mainstay in the military’s air force.
Its design was based on that of the Sukhoikis MiG 24 fighter jet and was built in the late 1990s.
The four-seat aircraft has a total range of 2.2-2.5 millionkm and can take-offs from a maximum altitude of 20,500m.
The aircraft has two engines, each powered by a single RD-250 turbojet.
The engines can deliver up to 3,000hp.
Its range can be up to 4,000kms.
The nose wing is made out of composite material and can make a nose wheel that can reach 7m.
The engine of the two-stage engine is mounted in a single wing, which can reach 3,800m.
It was the only aircraft to be built by Sukhoishin Aircraft Industries.The Tupole

A San Diego County resident who worked as a trust administrator for a retirement-age couple admitted Wednesday that he embezzled more than $1 million from them over an eight-year period.
Brian P. Lee, 44, pleaded guilty to wire fraud in connection with the theft, which began in 2004, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Lee admitted using interstate transactions to make unauthorized transfers of the couple’s funds into bank accounts he exclusively controlled and withdrawing funds for his personal use. Among the looted funds was money the couple had placed in trust for their grandchildren, prosecutors said.
Lee, who is scheduled to be sentenced May 16, faces up to 20 in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

The first novel in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, A Game of Thrones, was released in 1996. Less than three years later, fans were treated to A Clash of Kings, and a year-plus after that, A Storm of Swords. Martin was never exactly Stephen F*cking King in the first place, but his pace has dramatically slowed down ever since: A Feast for Crows, the slimmest book in the series, debuted in 2005, five years after Storm, but that’s nothing compared to the six years it took for readers to devour 1,056 pages of A Dance with Dragons. Since July 2011, there’s been silence from Camp Martin, outside of his appearing at every science-fiction convention, and writing multiple episodes of HBO’s Game of Thrones, and responding to controversies, and hating the New England Patriots, and updating his blog to let people know he’s, yup, still alive. So, he’s actually been super busy and living the good life, but still no The Winds of Winter. That’s a tough pill to swallow when paired with Game of Thrones not returning for seven season for awhile.
No wonder people are making up rumors about when book six is coming out.
According to The Independent, “Speculation is rife that the sixth installment in Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series could be released at the World Science Convention in August, where Martin will be taking part in panels, doing a reading, and signing books.” That’s a neat idea and all except, as Winter Is Coming points out, “The chances of that are next to nil, of course, as that would not only cause minor riots, but prevent pre-orders from such outlets like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, who depend on such things for their quarterly profits.” A Dance with Dragons sold a staggering 298,000 copies on its first day alone, and that’s before Game of Thrones was arguably the biggest show on television — Amazon’s going to want a piece of that. Also:
Some fans on Reddit have suggested that the wait for The Winds of Winter might have been longer than anticipated because Martin plans to surprise us all by dropping A Dream of Spring simultaneously. (Via)
Well, that would be one way to catch up to the HBO series, but it’s not going to happen. Martin, who’s pretty upfront when it comes to these things, has given no indication that he’s even thinking about A Dream of Spring yet, let alone readying it for release. Let the man finish The Winds of Winter first, then his 1,000 monkeys working on 1,000 typewriters can wrap up the series for him. “It was the best of Tyrion, it was the blurst of Tyrion?!?”

Russia and Vietnam signed a of $500 million agreement on the sale of eight Su-30MK2 fighters in January 2009.
"The contract was signed in January, and we will fulfill it in2009-2010," Alexander Mikheyev, deputy general director ofRosoboronexport said at the MAKS-2009 air show near Moscow.
Mikheyev said Vietnam had already made several advanced paymentsunder the contract and the deliveries would be made in two batches offour aircraft each.
electronics and capability to launch anti-ship missiles.
Russia's Federal Service for Military Cooperation said in June that Vietnam had expressed interest in buying additional Su-30MK2 fighters and talks on a new contract could start in the near future.
Military aircraft continue to dominate Russia's arms exports, and are expected to total about $2.6 billion in 2009 sales.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki was involved in multiple exchanges with reporters about the White House’s COVID-19 policy Wednesday, including one in which she contradicted Democratic governors who are backtracking on mask mandates.
A growing number of blue states have begun scaling back masking and vaccine requirements, including in indoor businesses and schools, in recent days. Psaki was asked whether Americans in these states should continue to follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, even if masks are no longer required.
“Yes,” Psaki answered. “This is where we would advise any American to follow the CDC guidelines … no parent who wants to send their kid with a mask should be penalized. No teacher who wants to wear a mask should be penalized, or school district who makes that choice should be penalized.”
States including New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Nevada have dropped or drastically scaled back their masking requirements just in the last several days. Democratic governors who were once staunch advocates of mask mandates have cited changing science and improving pandemic conditions as justification for their changes of heart.
The CDC still recommends that Americans wear masks in indoor spaces, including schools, even if vaccinated.
Psaki was also pressed on why Biden has not formally addressed the country on the issue of COVID-19 in nearly a month. Psaki pointed to Biden taking questions at a press conference less than two weeks ago. (RELATED: New York Rep. Maloney Says Government Is Ready ‘To Give People Their Lives Back,’ Thanks Biden)
“We’re currently, as I noted a little bit earlier, discussing what the next phase of the pandemic looks like,” she said. “That’s an ongoing process, and the American people can expect to continue to hear from the president on it.”

text: By Matt Leedham @worldofleedham09 Apr 2018This week, KARRYON Founder Matt heads off on an Arabian adventure to the desert Kingdom of Jordan via Abu Dhabi. Is he excited? Put it this this way – We’re already sick of him talking about it in the office.In these interesting times of ‘overtourism‘ and global Insta ‘hotspots’ being eroded by selfie obsessed visitors, it appears that the crowds have unwittingly left Jordan off their hit lists (so far).Which when you think about it, makes you scratch your head a little. Why is that?How does a country that features some of the world’s most ancient and epic World Heritage sites including the incredible red stone carved city of Petra, the famed deserts and Mars like terrain of Wadi Rum that once saw Lawrence of Arabia (and Matt Damon in the Martian) journeying through them, or the super salty Dead Sea not get more exposure?Traveller’s Corner, Wadi RumRoman Ampitheater, AmmamOf course, being sandwiched between troubled Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Israel in the Middle East hasn’t helped, but still, this is a small country the size of Portugal that has continually proven its stability and safety as the acting ‘Switzerland’ of the region.According to statistics site nationamster.com, Jordan was ranked only 54th in the world in 2014 for its crime rate with Australia ranked at #69 and the U.S listed far worse down at number 30, Brazil at #13 and South Africa at #6.Which only adds to Jordans understated popularity case mystery even more.The classic Dead Sea shot – It has to be doneThe ancient Greco-Roman ruins of JerashWhen it comes to visitors to Jordan today, zero crowds haven’t always been the case and it’s only eight years ago in 2010 that Jordan welcomed 1.6m visitors to sample its legendary hospitality and famous icons. In January 2018 meanwhile, visitors for the year were just over half a million.There are healthy signs though that the country is on the bounce again with visitors to Petra increasing by 50% to in March this year versus 2017. This is the highest increase in eight years according to Jordan Tourism with international visitors making up 60% of the total.Perceptions and confidence it seems, are beginning to change again.Scenic also recently announced that Jordan and Egypt are back on the map for them as increased traveller demand has led to creating new itineraries for 2018/19 and National Geographic also named Jordan on their Top 10 places to visit list in 2018.OUR HINT: Go there now BEFORE the crowds DO arrive.The amount of movies that have been made in Jordan have also probably helped further Jordan’s recent case for more fan arrivals. The Hurt locker, Zero Dark Thirty, Indian Jones and the Last Crusade, Lawrence of Arabia, Prometheus, The Martian, Transformers: Revenge of the fallen and X-men Apocalypse to name but a few movies were all shot across the country’s arid lands.Accessibility too from Australia to Jordan’s capital Amman is getting easier, with Etihad Airways connecting daily via Abu Dhabi and a three hour onward flight to get you there from around AU$1,700 return in total.The Louvre, Abu DhabiSo how easy is it to travel in Jordan? I’m about to find out and I CANNOT WAIT to share my experience with you.Over four days and three nights, i’ll travel to Amman and explore the ancient capital city before visiting the wonders of Petra, floating in the world’s lowest point on earth (and saltiest sea) – The Dead Sea (At 430m below sea level) and then travel on through the Greco-Roman ruins of Jerash, Ajloun and the desert and rock formations of Wadi Rum to go camel riding and 4WD driving through the dunes.Phew.My Petra aspirations… Look out IndyI’ll spend the last 36 hours of my whistle stop trip back in Abu Dhabi where I’ll be checking out the recently opened Louvre and some of the UAE capital city’s other latest highlights before flying back overnight to Australia.I’ll be reporting back on my journey throughout the trip so stay tuned across KARRYON and all of our Social Media channels for more along the way.In the meantime, you can find out more at: Jordan Tourism, Etihad Airways and Abu Dhabi Tourism.READ: Phillipines closes Boracay for rehabREAD: Thailand closes ‘Di Caprio’s beach’READ: Trending: Egypt and Jordan back on the map for ScenicWhat would you like to know about Jordan?

Hi, many thanks for your time.
I am a novice at ASP so any help would really be appreciated.
The pages I create currently include a header and footer.
However the issue I am having is how can I select through CSS what tab needs to be highlighted as the CSS is linked through the header.
I originally started thinking that the ACTIVE selection on the LI list needs to be replaced with a variable, and when that variable is called depending on the page, then that would select which menu needs to be active.
Unfortunately I am unsure on how to tackle this, any information would be really appreciated.

Despite the massive career strides women have made in recent decades, the choices still appear stark once babies land on the radar: Have children and hobble a promising career? Or put off motherhood until it may never happen? But, through more than 500 interviews nationwide, Toronto author Reva Seth discovered what she calls The MomShift - women who are living proof that a career and motherhood are not mutually exclusive. And they're not just making it work, Ms. Seth told the National Post‘s Sarah Boesveld this week before her book on the subject hits store shelves. They're finding fulfillment:
Q: Motherhood is often pegged as a career's dead end. But you argue it can actually boost a woman's career. How?
A: Some women found it made them take the leap to make them do the thing they wanted to do. When one woman in my book, lawyer Catherine McKenna, left her job [to start a family] everyone said ‘You've lost your ambition because of motherhood.' She said ‘I actually became more ambitious because I wanted to do something impactful.' She subsequently started Canadian Lawyers Abroad and she's actually running in Ottawa-Centre for the Liberals. For some women it was financial. A lot of women felt they worked better, that they were more efficient and just more focused.
Q: You have limited time.
A: Yes, you think ‘I actually have to do this.' People were more strategic. A lot of people took the leave and said they wanted more flexibility and they started a business. Some women just felt more like adults.
Q: Like they had more of a path in life?
A: I think so. Having a kid really focused me. I was really ambitious, but I was completely ‘Oh yeah, let's go for drinks.' I felt like I had unlimited time. And then suddenly having a child made me feel ‘Oh my god, I'm getting old! Pull it together, do something with myself.' You need to take yourself more seriously, and I think that makes other people take you more seriously. So there were a lot of good things that came from it.
Q: That stark messaging - that kids are career killers - is it powerful enough to turn ambitious women off of motherhood?
A: When people tell you children will end your career and you're pretty excited about your career, I wouldn't want to have a child. I didn't want to have children because that's the messaging I grew up with. Why would you, if you invest so much time and education wanting to do something? And then you think ‘But it's so untrue! Tons of women have great careers and children.'
Q: Here in Canada we have solid parental leave and public healthcare. What did you hear from Canadian moms in particular about the anxieties they have or their concerns about the system?
A: Childcare and flexibility. We're too focused on maternity leave right now. There's so much advice and counseling on how to do a good maternity leave, how to come back, what happens after. But once you're a parent, those issues don't go away once you return to work. What I heard a lot was we need flexibility, because the challenges for a lot of parents was the rigidness of the schedule. That was a real anxiety point for a lot of women, who said ‘I hadn't anticipated I would keep needing so much.'

A cute and fun way to learn about the city of New York. I now have a few more places I need to go in the city.
What a fabulous book! I am obsessed with LITTLE KID KIDS BIG CITY: NEW YORK. This chooses your own travel guide around NYC is so much fun. Kids and big kids like me will love every destination you visit.
The Little Kid Big City series is a wonderfully illustrated book series about the world's greatest cities, specifically written for children. I haven't visited New York with my kids but I thought I knew it quite well... well! this book taught me about Rockaway beach, Jane's carousel AND the bug carousel (and a few other places). I love they included other fantastic locations such as the One World Observatory and of course The Strand! I highly recommend the book if you travel to NY with kids!
A beautiful book with nice illustrations and interesting stories... I'm definitely not a little kid but I enjoyed this book so much that I ventured out and went "tourist mode" with just this book in my hands and I loved it!
Such a lovely book! This is the perfect guide for children to New York.
Full of interesting age-appropriate facts covering so many parts of New York. The choosing which page to visit next with questions on what the child may like to do next was such a great idea. Everything was covered from parks to bridges to funfair rides to theatres to food.
At the back there are more facts for young people to read and ideas on where to visit. This would be a perfect for a child travelling to New York to maybe pick up on the journey there.
The most beautiful illustrations! A lovely read
What a fun book! This travel book series is aimed a children but the graphics and extra details also make this a lovely little read for adults.
The first third of the book is designed as a 'choose your own adventure', where you are given two options of where to go to next - "Visit New York’s tallest building! Turn to page 10. Ride horseback through history! Turn to page 12! " It adds a wonderfully whimsical element to learning about the city and its sights and makes it more interactive for the smallies reading it.
The rest of the book is a more detailed look at each section of the city - giving more about the specific sites in an area as well as little facts and gems of information that would likely be more interesting to the older readers while still be written in a manner suitable for the kids reading too.
I really enjoyed the graphics (though felt they were more on the grown-up side than what I'd normally expect from a kid's book - but I guess this is aimed at both groups to a degree) and the book will have a fold-out, detailed map of New York as well. It should definitely pique the interest of younger travellers and was a lovely read for someone like myself who has not been there yet either! I'd like to think it would also appeal to those more familiar with the city too.
The illustrations are breathtaking and realistic, it is as if you are in New York eating the pizza and strolling through the beach!!!!
And the tiny little guides at the bottom which tell you where to explore more are so cute!!
They let you decide and explore to the parts you want to see, so you can travel the way you want!!!!!
I learnt so much about New York and now I HAVE to visit it!!
This book is so detailed and it describing the famous places beautifully!!!
This is a fun read and kids will love this, and its a great guide if you are planning a NY trip!!
My rating 4.5 out of 5
Kids local to NYC will wish for more coverage outside of Brooklyn and Manhattan, but kids visiting or reading about NYC will think this is great fun.
I love this book! (Although I think reading it after being stuck and unable to travel for over a year is probably making me a bit emotional, ha.)
Pandemic travel bug emotions aside, I thought that the illustrations and blurbs about the various attractions in the city is so lovely! I like that the book doesn't just cover the mainstream tourist attractions, but also includes gems like the lighthouse, the transit museums, Harlem, and the Prospect park. The way the book sort of "directs" you by telling you to jump into different pages based on your fancy makes it fun, as well. I can visualise my students enjoying this book, and exploring the city with it. I love it!
Like the London version of the book, I thought this was an excellent information text showing the key landmarks and destinations in New York, I found myself learning a great deal about things I didn't know! I know that my children would LOVE this book and would pour over the illustrations and facts, so I will definitely be buying a copy!
Thank you to Quirk Books and NetGalley for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
In this first book in the Little Kid, Big City series, kids are empowered to imagine, create, and explore their own routes through the world’s greatest cities.
I’ve never been to New York City but it’s definitely on my bucket list of places to go! In this illustrated guide, there’s a choose-your-own-adventure style element to it, which I thought was great for kids to have choices! This guide is great for kids, parents, and adults alike — I was able to learn some new facts and there’s a great resource section at the end! I think this is a great option for travelling as well as those experiencing a bit of wanderlust.
I enjoyed this book so much! I was born and raised in NYC and due to the pandemic I haven’t been to visit my family, the sights, and eat all the yummy food! And yes it is definitely the water that makes the bagels fluffy and oh so good! I read this book with my toddlers and it’s wonderful to see their reactions to the landmarks and answering their questions. I cannot wait to show them in person! Thank you to Quirk Books, NetGalley, and the author for a gifted copy. This is my honest review.
Little Kid, Big City!: New York was absolutely amazing – the perfect amount of information and eye catching illustrations! I read it several times and thought about my many travels to NYC…while also being sad as my teenage daughter and I had our first trip planned to NYC last March but cancelled due to COVID-19. I will definitely be purchasing this book when it is available and giving it to my daughter as a promise of our NYC some day soon. #LittleKidBigCityBook #NetGalley
This is an extremely cute little picture book/travel guide to New York City. It'll be a perfect educational read-aloud for kids who are interested in (or live in) New York. Although there are lots of facts, it doesn't feel overly pedantic, although I will say that it might be a bit too long to read all in one go, depending on the parent and kid. But it's written in a choose-your-own-adventure sort of style that I think is really clever, allowing for a slightly different reading experience each time. It's also a little eerie/bittersweet to read during a pandemic, when so many things are either closed or vastly different (I miss the Transit Museum!!). Also, I gotta give a shoutout to the "it's the water" bagels pages -- so good.
What a delightful book! Bursting with amazing facts about NYC and full of awesome, fun illustrations!
An enjoyable read which I wish actually existed a few years ago when I visited New York - I now feel like I missed out on seeing so much or was walking with my eyes closed! If I get to visit again this book will be coming with me as my guide!
Looking forward to reading more in the series.
I absolutely loved the illustrations! The choose-your-own story aspect was fun and honestly a little surprising (in a good way) because I hadn't expected it. The "story" of NYC was easy to follow and it gave a lot of great information for those not necessarily familiar with the city. I liked that it touched upon main tourist attractions but it would have been nice to see something not so typical, such as a less popular but equally illustrious museum. Overall, a great and easy to use guidebook for kids.
Fantastic! similar to a choose your own adventure, this book tours around New York with the reader picking where to go next. The illustrations are superb, painting the most beautiful picture of this amazing city. The ideas of places to visit are a mix of traditional and non-traditional, some are very unique which is fantastic. This would be the perfect gift for a child who was visiting New York or for those who just love looking at the world and different cities. I can’t wait to see the others in this collection and I’m sure I will end up buying this as a gift in the future.
My daughter loved looking through this book (she is just a few months shy of 4yo) and getting to know where her cousins live!
This is a beautifully illustrated "tour book" about NYC aimed for children. All of the sights, sounds and tastes of NY are covered from Pizza & Bagels to Coney Island and the Staten Island ferry, and much, much more. This book touches on different means of transportation, many different locations, and different foods of the area. It really is like a tourism book for kids filled with great information and facts as well as a map at the end.
There is a bit of a choose your own adventure, which really is a choice of what part of NY do you want to read about (or visit in the pages of a book) next?
I would recommend this to anyone with kids planning a trip to New York to get them a little familiar with all that the city has to offer and get excited, or to anyone with family in New York, like us!
I really enjoyed this book!
It would be great to give to a child ahead of any trip so that they can have a look at the sights ahead of the journey. I liked how the book was laid out and that there was a little more detail at the end too on the different places, or foods that are recommended!
It is 5 stars from me for this one, I loved the facts, it was a punchy read and the illustrations were great - very highly recommended!
I received an electronic ARC from Quirk Books through NetGalley.
Think Choose Your Own Adventure with actual locations in the beautiful city of New York. Readers plan their trip through this city by beginning at the Statue of Liberty and then following the suggestions to move to different pages and see other sites. I read through in order as I was reading an electronic version but readers will have fun picking where they want to go next. They can opt to see as many or as few sites as they want.
Terrific book to plan a visit and involve the whole family. Further information is provided about each point of interest along with short blurbs about other locations nearby. A city map will be included in the physical copies so readers can mark their destinations on it and practice map reading skills.

Today you can find me hanging out over at “My Repurposed Life” doing a guest post. Gail’s taken some time out for her daughter’s upcoming wedding and during her time-out she is having some of her friends fill in for her. If you haven’t been there yet, make sure you go see my newly finished nightstand! You might recognize it from a curbshopping expedition I took you on a year ago….Curbshop along with me today!, then again, maybe you won’t recognize it anymore, it’s really changed!
I’ve got a little re-do to show you here today. Remember how I’ve been trying to lighten up my very dark living room? I’ve been adding some white pieces to counter the dark brown sofa and my new dark stained coffee table.
This is the latest shot of the mantel, after adding the Nest sign and faux clock face.
Below it is the fireplace, and I needed something lighter to balance that side of the room.
I had this old card table in the living room, it’s not antique, but it is vintage….
I actually bought this years ago at an antique show for $5.
It comes in handy for putting out snacks when we have guests, and I like the fact that it stands against the wall the rest of the time, out of the way.
I loved the design on the top and the way the top (which is some kind of cardboard type material) is grained to look like fancy wood.
It stands up by itself when folded, so I decided to use it as a fireplace screen.
Of course I forgot to take a good before photo, so I searched through my albums and found this next picture. (yes, that’s the ironing on the hook waiting to be taken upstairs…)
See how the table is easily stored out of the way against the wall? That’s why I like it so much.
Way back in February I purchased several vinyl's from ‘Say it on the Wall’. Gail had a 30% off deal on her blog and I took full advantage.
They have great prices and a wonderful variety of vinyl sayings over there.
I bought this definition of CREATE, not knowing what I would use it for.\
It was so much bigger than I expected when I got it, it’s huge!
But it just so happens to be exactly the right size for the folding table. How ‘bout that?
I spray-painted the entire table with Heirloom White, then added the vinyl to the top. It wasn’t as hard to do as the first one, I knew enough this time to only remove a little bit of the backing at a time, sort of roll it down as I went.
Except- I started putting it on with the table opened up, then suddenly realized I should check to see which way it would stand up. Good thing I checked, because I was applying the vinyl on the wrong side. It would have been upside down when the table was standing!!!
I hadn’t gone too far, so was able to very carefully peel off the letters and start over, the right way!
After applying the vinyl I taped off a border along the outside of the definition and painted it black.
It was a little too stark, but that was an easy fix.
Just a little bit of sanding, some dabbing with gel stain to age it a bit and it was done!
I like the way it looks in front of the fireplace.
Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to go to “My Repurposed Life” and say Hi to me over there!

Students Pouring into Hawaii From all Over the World Need More Housing
Hawaii is one of the most famous places for a vacation, however, not many people know that itâ€™s also a great location to study.
Hawaii is such a unique, multi-cultural place that you can learn so much more. Students from all over the world, especially Asia,Â are coming to schools in Hawaii. Students from Japan are still strong, but also students from other Asian countries like Korea, China, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Cambodia are increasing rapidly. SoÂ are students from Europe.
The problem is that there are not enough dorms and student housing on the islands. Check out all the great investments around Oahu colleges in this gallery I’ve created.

Until you have explored this vast planet, how do you know you’re not meant for something or somewhere else?
I left my home on Auckland’s North Shore for the first time in 2012. It was a four-month stint to explore Europe and America and to fulfil my aching wanderlust and discover a little more about me. Cliché, I know, but by the time I left university, my direction lacked, and the thought of settling down in the same place I was raised filled me with anxiety. I needed to escape, explore, excite my world. So I booked my tickets and planned my ‘OE’ (Overseas Experience).
Four months of unrestrained adventure ensued, and my wanderlust was well and truly fed. My desire to see every corner of the globe overwhelmed the internal demons telling me to ‘settle down in Auckland’. I loved crossing borders to welcome new cultures. My trip flew by, and before I knew it, I was back doing the same thing I had been only months earlier. I felt I had barely scratched the surface of what was out there.
So I saved.
I saved all the money I could, so I could once again get that feeling of utter thrill, of bravery, of a challenge, of strength. I wanted to feel the fear of things not going to plan, vulnerability, and total independence. Travel is the only thing that forces you to feel all of this. Travelling teaches you more than all your schooling combined. It is everything your parents dream for you. It offers you the opportunity to find closure whether you settle back where you started or in a place you stumbled across. Until you have explored this vast planet, how do you know you’re not meant for something or somewhere else?
I had always envisaged my life would be full of travel with my roots firmly set in New Zealand. But now, four years since I first left New Zealand for my OE, I’ve not looked back. My roots are split across two places (London and Auckland), and wherever I land, I am never going to be complete. And, yet I feel more content with life than ever before. I have finally come to terms with the fact that wherever I settle, I am always going to have the feeling of missing someone or something. But doesn’t that make me so lucky? Like Winnie-the-Pooh said, “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard?” I am reminded of this quote every time I leave London for NZ and vice versa.
I think the misconception of travel or moving abroad is that you lose the connection with your home, but you don’t at all. If anything, I feel more appreciative of all I have there. You are only ever one plane ride away, and your friends and family are always ready and waiting for your visit. Real friendships never falter, no matter where you are in the world. If there is anything I know confidently about moving abroad, it is that.
Given how much I have learnt since I embarked on a life of travel, I now make it my goal to visit somewhere new every year. Last year I was lucky enough to visit Italy for the first time and return to beautiful Paris—the wonders of living in Europe where new countries are train rides away. This year I plan to travel up the Pacific Coast Highway in California and potentially visit a tropical location (and escape the often testing England winters), like Bali or Thailand.
But before this, I have a plane to catch somewhere I know better than anywhere and a trip I ensure I make every year—back to Aotearoa—to where my roots are still strong and always will be. No matter where my feet land.

Hierarchical Model Reduction Techniques for Incompressible Fluid Dynamics and Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems


Been doing some spinning lately now that my EMT course has finally concluded. In which, I brought my knitting to one day and my teacher noted my fiber obsession. So, I was inspired to combine my two passions, medicine and spinning.
It's a 2-ply yarn, measuring 11 yds, spun from gauze and wrap.
It is about 80 freakin 2 degrees here in Texas right now. So it feels more like autumn that winter, which explains the colorway. We're now just seeing the leaves drop.


(Editor’s Note: Apparently people have been calling the helpful and quite lovely PR folks at Continental after seeing the previous headline for this post, where I wrote “Continental Airlines Announces It Is Leaving Cleveland Hub.” Out of respect for the wonderful PR team down there who have better things to do than deal with misunderstandings stemming from the OTR, I have changed the title above. Carry on).
After years of speculation that it had outgrown the often chilly climate at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, Continental Airlines announced that it was leaving its Cleveland hub for the heat in Miami, opening a base there in a 3-way alliance with United and US Airways.
Continental had been in Cleveland for years, stretching all the way back to when it was a well-known Continental Express mini-hub serving only local destinations. But, although Cleveland was able to offer nonstop service to London, it could not provide all of the international opportunities that Miami could provide.
The move to the 3-way alliance in Miami was first broached during a layover in Beijing in 2008, when the three airlines came to a secret alliance where they said that no matter where they had hubs in 2010, they would leave for the opportunity to share a co-terminal arrangement in Miami.
Continental felt that although it was always the leading airline in Cleveland, it would never be a top global carrier without moving out of the Midwest.
Several other cities were in contention to lure Continental out of Cleveland, including Chicago. But many observers felt that the eternal shadow of Royal Jordanian, which doesn’t even serve Chicago anymore, would prevent Continental from laying down its roots in the Windy City.
Following this move, Continental announced that it was offering the Cleveland area bus service similar to what it offers travelers in the Allentown area.
Some critics contend that the airline has taken a rather cavalier attitude toward the departure after everything the city has offered the airline over the years. But, the move was not unexpected, as Continental told airport officials 6 years ago that it was not interested in signing a long-term lease at the facility because, as they said, who knows what is going to happen in 4 years.
Continental’s departure leaves Cleveland Hopkins with no nonstop air service.
