I like to take pride in making my students feel secure and knowing and seeing the improvement they make within each session. I will be handing out a materials list prior to our lessons. Most students see a huge leap in drawing within the the first lesson! Class starts out usually with me giving a 1 hour demonstration on what I expect them to do as I cover and explain my entire process and thought and calculations that goes into drawing and painting. For the rest of the class I will be besides the student as they work giving them one on one pointers and as much help and explanation as they need in order to improve. Students start out with learning how to look and draw what they observe accurately by first working on simple geometric shapes such as spheres, cubes. We then will move on to Cast studies and after a few months of studying we will start on figures and portraits.

I've been doing water color painting for years and would love to help you.
For the basics of watercolor you'll learn color theory, how to use paint brushes, techniques etc. The beginner lessons are more organized lessons and structured to go over the basics.
But, the more advanced is where you come to me with what you'd like to paint, and I'll give you techniques and tips on your projects.
I've been sewing since I was 13. I've sewn things over the years such as dresses, pajamas. I do a lot of tailoring things too. I just love to sew, and I love teaching people to sew too! The way that I teach is to help the student develop their own style. I have students work on their own indivi

Teaches students 4 and up
Educated in Europe, I was always inspired by my teachers and travels to continue honing my artistic skills. With practice, anybody can develop their own style, and I believe it's my duty to pass on the knowledge that was instilled in me as a young artist.
Expression of one's soul in art may be sometimes stronger than words, something that psychologists have proven for years.
"Sip and paint" classes are available for groups.
Before reading about me, I'd like to share up front the honor that my newest student, R., has brought to me by choosing to learn Romanian. Nothing special so far except that he is 100 years old!!!! Yes, you read that correctly: a century old. He is the outmost inspiring person in my life by teachin

I can cover just the photo/camera end for you. And, or, can teach you the digital computer skills you need to bring you images to the next level.
I will teach you how to reveal your own photographic "eye". That is, now to use the camera as an extension of your expression, how to take what you see, and put inside a frame.
I teach photography concepts from the art form, and from basic through advanced technical and aesthetic.
You will learn how a camera lens is much much more than just a zoom closer/farther tool for your scene. The lens you choose is vital towards helping you achieve the vision you are bringing to your work. Camera exposure is similar.
I will also teach you how to "see" your scene or subject as "values" of shades of black, white, and the grays between. This ...
I can't wait to work with you! I am passionate about the subjects I teach, and find nothing can compare to seeing a student "get it", so they may too enjoy the passion that comes from learning and doing something they love. Everything I teach I've learned most completely by doing as a Profession
Thanks again for your time and info yesterday. I will email you soon, and we will figure out when we should meet for our next class.
Have a great day!

The MLB Draft is coming up and it is time to start looking at what positions each team is going to need to fill to help the future of their franchise. Last season we saw the LA Angels use every single pick they had on pitching, but this year won't be the same. These are the rankings of what positions the LA Angels should focus on and some prospects the organization could look to draft.
No. 1 position the LA Angels should focus on in 2022 MLB Draft: Pitching
Obviously, pitching has been a weakness for this team for most of the last decade and still needs to show it can compete against top tier teams. The LA Angels won't use every single pick on pitching like they did last season, but they still need to continue to funnel top pitching prospects into the minor league system that could possibly produce MLB stars. Regardless of if those pitchers end up playing for the LA Angels in the future, or end up somewhere else, the value good pitching prospects bring to the organization is always a positive since they come by so rarely.
With the 13th pick in the MLB Draft, the LA Angels should look for more pitching prospects because of all the position players expected to go in the top 10 picks. Look for them to possibly get Jackson Ferris, Connor Prielipp, or Brandon Barriera.

When he tweeted today (Jan. 8) that he’d just released a new acoustic video, we were stoked. It’s comprised of footage that documentary film makers captured during his first solo tour of the U.S. including snippets from studio sessions, concerts, and other sweet moments between these two amazing artists.
We also just adore the acoustic version of this already awesome dance track.

Bradykinesia is the most disabling motor symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD). The sequence effect (SE), a feature of bradykinesia, refers to the rapid decrement in amplitude and speed of repetitive movements (e.g., gait, handwriting) and is a major cause of morbidity in PD. Previous research has revealed mixed results regarding the role of dopaminergic treatment in the SE. However, external cueing has been shown to improve it. In this study, we aimed to characterize the SE systematically and relate this phenomenon to the energetic cost of movement within the context of cost-benefit framework of motor control. We used a dynamic isometric motor task with auditory pacing to assess the SE in motor output during a 15-s task segment in PD patients and matched controls. All participants performed the task with both hands, and without and with visual feedback (VF). Patients were also tested in "on"- and "off"-dopaminergic states. Patients in the "off" state did not show higher SE compared to controls, partly due to large variance in their performance. However, patients in the "on" state and in the absence of VF showed significantly higher SE compared to controls. Patients expended higher total motor energy compared to controls in all conditions and regardless of their medication status. In this experimental situation, the SE in PD is associated with the cumulative energetic cost of movement. Dopaminergic treatment, critical for internal triggering of movement, fails to maintain the motor vigor across responses. The high motor cost may be related to failure to incorporate limbic/motivational cues into the motor plan. VF may facilitate performance by shifting the driving of movement from internal to external or, alternatively, by functioning as a motivational cue.
Keywords: bradykinesia; cost–benefit; decrement; dopamine; fatigue; motor control; visual feedback.

Doctoral Thesis by Brent Daniel Mittelstadt.
Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility. De Montfort University, Leicester, UK.
Recent years have seen an influx of medical technologies capable of remotely monitoring the health and behaviours of individuals to detect, manage and prevent health problems. Known collectively as personal health monitoring (PHM), these systems are intended to supplement medical care with health monitoring outside traditional care environments such as hospitals, ranging in complexity from mobile devices to complex networks of sensors measuring physiological parameters and behaviours. This research project assesses the potential ethical implications of PHM as an emerging medical technology, amenable to anticipatory action intended to prevent or mitigate problematic ethical issues in the future.
PHM fundamentally changes how medical care can be delivered: patients can be monitored and consulted at a distance, eliminating opportunities for face-to-face actions and potentially undermining the importance of social, emotional and psychological aspects of medical care. The norms evident in this movement may clash with existing standards of ‘good’ medical practice from the perspective of patients, clinicians and institutions. By relating utilitarianism, virtue ethics and theories of surveillance to Habermas’ concept of colonisation of the lifeworld, a conceptual framework is created which can explain how PHM may be allowed to change medicine as a practice in an ethically problematic way. The framework relates the inhibition of virtuous behaviour among practitioners of medicine, understood as a moral practice, to the movement in medicine towards remote monitoring.
To assess the explanatory power of the conceptual framework and expand its borders, a qualitative interview empirical study with potential users of PHM in England is carried out. Recognising that the inherent uncertainty of the future undermines the validity of empirical research, a novel epistemological framework based in Habermas’ discourse ethics is created to justify the empirical study. By developing Habermas’ concept of translation into a procedure for assessing the credibility of uncertain normative claims about the future, a novel methodology for empirical ethical assessment of emerging technologies is created and tested. Various methods of analysis are employed, including review of academic discourses, empirical and theoretical analyses of the moral potential of PHM. Recommendations are made concerning ethical issues in the deployment and design of PHM systems, analysis and application of PHM data, and the shortcomings of existing research and protection mechanisms in responding to potential ethical implications of the technology.

WIF has demonstrated astonishing growth of over 50,000% since first launching in December 2023. Its recent all-time high of $1.01 showcases the market’s enthusiasm for dog-themed meme coins.
Major exchange Binance has already demonstrated interest by launching futures trading for WIF at 50x leverage. Many now predict listings on top exchanges like Coinbase could be imminent.
24 Hour WIF price, from Coingecko
The meme coin frenzy hasn’t been limited to WIF, however.
Top dog Dogecoin has itself gained 46% over the past week, reaching price levels not seen since the 2021 bull run.
Other meme coins have posted even more staggering numbers, like Shiba Inu‘s 38% weekly gain and Bonk’s 95% seven-day increase.
The surge extends beyond just dog coins as well. Crypto traders are seeking new high-risk, high-reward opportunities across the meme coin landscape. For example, the recent launch of Frogwifhat (FWIF) capitalized on the success of frog-themed meme coin Pepe Coin in 2023. FWIF achieved a $4 million market cap within hours of launching.
The robust health of the meme coin market points to traders looking beyond stagnating bluechip cryptos for big gains.
And there could be more room to run – with the anticipated 2024-2025 bull market expected to take the crypto market cap into the trillions, triple-digit returns from the likes of WIF, FWIF and other speculative plays could be on the cards.

(ORDO NEWS) — All people experience stress from time to time – since the 2020 pandemic, many men and women have been in this state.
When a person is under stress, a huge number of different processes take place in his body.
For example, his heart rate rises, various chemicals are released into the circulatory system, and much more.
Stress can be hidden from the people around you by putting on a smile and simply pulling yourself together.
However, there is no way to hide being under stress from dogs – this was proven in the process of a recent scientific experiment.
As it turned out, every stressed person releases specific odors into the surrounding space, which can only be detected by dogs with an excellent sense of smell.
Okay, let’s say this is true, but how can this discovery be useful to society?
Stress is the body’s defensive response to danger – to cope with the situation, whatever it may be, the hormones adrenaline and norepinephrine are injected into the bloodstream.
This phenomenon is especially important for animals, because after the injection of hormones, they have the strength to run or retaliate.
Stress was just as important to our distant ancestors, but today we do not have to be afraid of a sudden attack by predators.
Therefore, in most cases, the processes that occur during stress are largely in vain, simply warning us of some kind of danger, even a minor one.
As a result of the injection of hormones, a person’s heart rate increases and blood pressure rises. Breathing becomes frequent and very deep, and sometimes there is a spasm of the respiratory muscles.
From distant ancestors, we also inherited the expansion of the pupils, due to which vision is sharpened.
When all these processes occur frequently and for a very long time, people develop various diseases of the heart, blood vessels and other organs.
That is why frequent stress is considered dangerous for human health.
The fact that dogs have a keen sense of smell is not such a big discovery. After all, it is not in vain that they are used by the police to search for illegal substances and criminals?
In addition, scientists have previously proven that springer spaniels are able to diagnose malaria and other dangerous diseases like coronavirus – we talked about this in more detail here.
Recently, scientists set out to find out if dogs can detect stress. After all, if during stress many chemical processes occur inside a person, then a specific mixture of substances clearly comes out with air and sweat.
To test their hypothesis, the scientists assembled a group of four dogs: Treo, Fingal, Jester and Winnie.
Also, 36 people took part in the experiment – sweat samples were taken from them at rest and after solving a mathematical problem of increased complexity.
They were also asked to rate their stress levels. After trying to solve a difficult problem, they definitely had it, as evidenced by a rapid heartbeat.
After all this, the dogs were allowed to sniff sweat samples taken before and after the stress. To the surprise of scientists, they separated one sample from another without any problems – the accuracy was 94%.
It was quite surprising to see them so confidently tell me: “No, these two things definitely smell different,” said researcher Clara Wilson (Clara Wilson).
It is worth noting that dogs have no problem identifying stress in people completely unfamiliar to them. That’s the beauty of the results – scientists hope it will allow better training of dogs that are designed for psychological support.
The process of treating people for stress and other psychological problems is called canister therapy. In addition to stress, specially trained dogs are good at helping people develop their mental and emotional abilities.

As promised, here’s that black bean burger recipe, also from Everyday Food magazine. Can you tell it’s one of my favorite magazines?
Black Bean Burgers
(March 2012 issue, Everyday Food)
2 1/2 cups cooked black beans, drained
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
3/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans, drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
In a large bowl, mash 2 1/2 cups cooked black beans. Stir in red bell pepper, cilantro, breadcrumbs, egg, and remaining black beans. Season with salt and pepper. Form mixture into four patties. Heat oil over medium-high and cook patties until crisp on outside and heated through, about 5 minutes each side.
Although my black bean patties did not entirely keep their shape (flipping them was certainly tricky), they were absolutely delicious! The flavor was outstanding. I had mine without a bun on top of some spinach leaves with sauteed squash, zucchini, and roasted red pepper. If you are serving them on buns in true burger fashion, the magazine suggests topping them with a slice of avocado and cooked red onions. Yum!

The question last night was:
“In what new ways to you intend to rectify the inequalities in the workplace, specifically regarding females making only 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn?”
Part of Mr. Romney’s answer (talking about when he became Governor of Mass.):
And — and so we — we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet.
I went to a number of women’s groups and said, “Can you help us find folks,” and they brought us whole binders full of women.
Which sounds like Mr. Romney initiated a search for qualified women candidates, yes?
Not so much:
Mind the Binder via The Phoenix
What actually happened was that in 2002 — prior to the election, not even knowing yet whether it would be a Republican or Democratic administration — a bipartisan group of women in Massachusetts formed MassGAP to address the problem of few women in senior leadership positions in state government. There were more than 40 organizations involved with the Massachusetts Women’s Political Caucus (also bipartisan) as the lead sponsor.
They did the research and put together the binder full of women qualified for all the different cabinet positions, agency heads, and authorities and commissions. They presented this binder to Governor Romney when he was elected.


Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman countered fellow cornerback Jeremy Lane’s negative comments on New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.
Julian Edelman Seahawks – New England Patriots wide receiver calls Seattle Seahawks secondary “ferocious”
John Schneider Marshawn Lynch – Seahawks general manager says he kind of loves running back’s media act
Pete Carroll Earl Thomas – Seahawks head coach promises safety will be healthy for Super Bowl
The Seattle Seahawks defense is well-known for being the best in the NFL and possessing supreme confidence that gives them a brash persona.
Cornerback Jeremy Lane joined in on the Seahawks’ trash talking ways as he said that New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is not that good.
However, cornerback Richard Sherman somewhat unexpectedly strayed from his infamous trash talking and paid respect to the All-Pro tight end.
“(Lane is) entitled to his own opinion, but I think (Gronkowski) is pretty great,” the Seahawks cornerback said to NFL.com.
Sherman is wise to acknowledge Gronkowski’s skills as the tight end has been on the All-Pro first team three times in his five-year career.
Gronkowski has also caught 54 touchdown passes in his career and holds the record for touchdown catches in a season by a tight end with 17, which he achieved in 2011.
He also gives life to the Patriots offense, which scored 29.2 points per game this season. Quarterback Tom Brady also bounced back from an underwhelming 2013 season as Gronkowski was able to stay healthy, contrary to his previous seasons.

The Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Co. has signed an agreement with Spain's Union Fenosa allowing it to increase the price of natural gas to reflect soaring global crude oil prices, according to a report from Bloomberg.
The business channel also quotes a company spokesman, Enas El-Sheikh, as saying the two companies have agreed to eliminate the upper limit on gas prices. Union Fenosa is part of Barcelona's Gas Natural SDG SA, which owns a 50 per cent stake in an Egyptian gas-liquefaction factory.
The Egyptian state-run firm is also negotiating a hike in the price of gas it sells to Jordan. Its controversial agreement with Israel is also thought to be subject to change.
Egypt exported 650 billion cubic feet of gas in 2009, 30 per cent of which went to Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, as well as via the El Arish-Ashkelon pipeline to Israel.

If you would like to make sure that you are going to be able to keep your home nice and cool during the warmest months of the year, you are going to want to be as proactive as you can. As soon as you spot something that is amiss with your home cooling system, you will want to call for HVAC help. In order to know when it is time to place that call, you will want to read through the following signs that your central air conditioning system, or some part of the cooling system, is in need of repairs.
If you're a business owner, it is important for you to work with the right commercial HVAC contractor. Before hiring a commercial HVAC contractor, you should make sure that the company that you are hiring has a good reputation and has been in the business for a while. After all, it's critical to work with the right commercial HVAC contractor for the following reasons.
1. It's Important to Focus on Safety
Putting work into your heating system is something that you'll thank yourself for later on. It can be tough to get through any winter, but there have been some record lows in recent years that can be beyond brutal to get through. By taking the time to get the best heating installation and repair, you can make it through these temperatures even if they are record lows.
Follow these steps and make sure that you place some phone calls to heating contractors near you.
No matter what type of air conditioning unit you have in your household, it's important to take care of it correctly over the years. You then can keep it working efficiently and effectively, saving yourself a ton of stress on repairs. Residential AC maintenance should involve these steps.
Install a Quality Air Filter
One of the simplest and most important things you could ever do for your AC unit is upgrading the air filter.
Mold — the only place you really want to find it is in your blue cheese! But sadly, it tends to pop up in other unwanted places, like your attic and your basement. And mold is sneaky. When it takes up residence in these spaces, it does not always notify you boldly, so you need to be on the lookout for more subtle signs it might be present. Here are four such signs that should prompt you to call a mold inspection company.


More than half of Santa Ana residents are renters and there’s no question that many are struggling amidst coronavirus-related work shutdowns, rising rents and a lack of available properties. Instead of doing something that might help, City Council approved a plan last week that will make matters worse.
The council voted 4-3 to approve a strict rent-control law that imposes 3 percent annual caps on rent increases (or 80 percent of inflation) for older buildings and mobile-home parks, and limits landlords’ ability to evict tenants. The plan also funnels public dollars to an “eviction defense fund,” according to a Register report. It comes back for a final vote next month.
As the old economics saying goes, you get more of whatever you subsidize and less of whatever you tax (or punish through regulation). By punishing companies that provide apartments and rental houses, the city will get see its rental stock dry up – something that will only exacerbate the shortages.
With these price controls, fewer landlords will invest in housing and many will sell their properties for other uses (e.g., owner-occupied houses and condominiums). They will be less apt to upgrade older buildings and make necessary repairs. Misbehaving tenants will more easily evade eviction, which harms the city’s neighborhoods.
That’s not conjecture, but is based on empirical evidence. After observing rent control’s results in Stockholm, Swedish economist Assar Lindbeck famously said, “In many cases rent control appears to be the most efficient technique presently known to destroy a city – except for bombing.”
The council meeting was understandably contentious. Fortunately, three council members – Phil Becerra, David Penaloza and Nelida Mendoza – opposed the law, which meant it couldn’t be implemented immediately as an emergency measure. That provides several months for the city to craft the details of a rent-control board.
California already passed statewide rent-control regulations, but the council majority – Mayor Vicente Sarmiento, Thai Viet Phan, Jessie Lopez and Johnathan Hernandez – seemed more interested in grandstanding than problem-solving. At least we know whom to blame when worsening shortages lead to longer waiting lists and eroded neighborhoods.

Abigail (2023) Review
In 1976 Abigail (Ava Cantrell, Lights Out, Exit 13) and her mother Eve (Hermione Lynch, Laced, We Are CVNT5) arrive in East Nowhere Alabama. Eve tells their new neighbours Donna (Karimah Westbrook, Suburbicon, The Rum Diary) and her son Lucas (Tren Reed-Brown) that they moved there from California because it was time for a change.
Despite a rather rough first meeting, Abigail and Lucas become friends, and it becomes obvious that both of them are troubled but have taken different paths to dealing with their issues. It’s not long before she’s taking on Daniel (Trace Talbot, Apparition, White Terror) and his buddies who’ve been bullying Lucas.
But it soon becomes clear she’s got a dark side, and is willing to take thing way too far.
Director Melissa Vitello (Community Theater Christmas, The Sound of Settling) and writer Gunnar Garrett (In My Head, 22) get the film off to an attention grabbing start. In a scene that recalls The Town That Dreaded Sundown, a couple parked out in the middle of nowhere fall victim to a baseball bat wielding figure with a burlap sack mask.
But then after the credits, the story rewinds to a week before and the film’s pace is reduced to a slow boil. The next half hour or so is devoted to getting to know the leads and their situation. It soon becomes clear that Donna’s story about her husband’s departure may not be entirely true. And the truth may be connected to the bullying Lucas receives. Eve’s mention of “the incident with your father” tells us there’s a story there too. There’s definitely a story in their dysfunctional relationship and Abigail’s reaction to her mother’s threat to take her back “there”.
While the setup is nicely done, the answers are considerably less than surprising. In fact, it all follows a pretty standard template. That includes a final reveal that ties up some loose ends in a predictable, if improbable, manner. There is a mid-credits scene, but it adds nothing to the film. Which is too bad because Abigail desperately needed something to help it out.
One potential plot point that was surprisingly ignored given the film’s setting was Abigail being white and Lucas black. That was shocking enough at that point of time in most places, let alone in the “Heart of Dixie.” I expected it to add to some of the violence directed at the two, but it’s never mentioned.
The film’s violence is similarly unimpressive. Vitello and cinematographer Bryan Ricke (Adventures in Online Dating, End It Like Beckham) make them look good, an attack involving a fire extinguisher and an axe is visually striking, but the sound effects are the most gruesome thing about them and what we see barely rises to PG-13 levels of violent.
With its lack of gore and refusal to fully exploit some potentially disturbing themes, Abigail feels like it was meant as a horror thriller for younger audiences. Or perhaps for people who don’t usually watch horror films but would respond to its advertising that tries to sell it as another young female fronted action thriller like Becky. Although, anyone expecting that film’s level of gore will be sadly disappointed.
The acting is solid, especially Cantrell in the title role, she kept me guessing about her motivations up until the film finally reveals her true nature. Tren Reed-Brown, whose only previous credit is in a music video, does a good job opposite her as the highly conflicted Lucas. The only other cast member who has much to work with is Lynch, who does a decent job as a woman driven to the end of her rope.
So while I can’t say I was bored by Abigail, I can’t say it was particularly memorable or exciting either. It doesn’t help that by the time the film ends, most of the bodies are of people who pretty much deserved what they got.
Dark Star Pictures will release Abigail on DVD as well as to Digital and VOD Platforms on December 5th.

Trump’s $ 5,000 proposal to get money now from Social Security
As the US economy plunges into recession thanks, in part, to the coronavirus, President Donald Trump is looking for ways to stimulate the economy. One of his recent proposals calls for allowing people to claim some of their future social security benefits now. For the tens of millions of Americans currently unemployed, this money may seem like a godsend, but the long-term costs can weigh heavily on your retirement security.
If you were lucky enough to receive the original $ 1,200 stimulus check, that money is probably long gone. As the Democratic-led House of Representatives passed an additional $ 3 trillion coronavirus relief package on May 15eI expect some step back in trying to get this through the Republican-led Senate.
A Trump White House proposal would allow Americans to take out a $ 5,000 loan against their future Social Security benefits. Again, that wouldn’t be handouts; you will take out a loan that will be repaid when you eventually claim social security benefits. Currently, the earliest you can start receiving Social Security retirement income is at age 62.
The stimulus payment of $ 5,000 would be put in place as a loan. The federal government would set an interest rate on your loan which, in essence, would help repay the Social Security trust fund for the money you received. You wouldn’t have to pay the money back until you start claiming Social Security, which could be as late as 70. Once you have claimed Social Security, your entire benefit would be used to pay off the loan until it is fully paid off. From there, you will receive your regular social security benefit based on your age and work history.
Can You Afford To Take A Social Security Loan?
A check for $ 5,000 that you won’t have to pay off for years or decades? It would probably be too hard for many Americans to pass up at the best of times. Add in the fact that tens of millions of Americans are currently unemployed and millions more are underemployed or have seen their incomes drop, any seemingly “free” money would probably be too hard to pass up. for many.
As a financial planner, I need to share some thoughts on how serious this situation is for your standard of living. The average Social Security check costs just $ 1,503 a month in 2020, with millions of retirees needing every penny of benefits they can get. Additionally, over 50% of U.S. workers are likely to have to retire earlier than expected for reasons beyond their control.. Think about health issues, family issues, or an unexpected job loss. With 50% or more of Americans having absolutely nothing saved for retirement, even without the coronavirus, there will be a wave of Americans falling into poverty as they age.
My biggest concern with this Trump proposal is that people will take out this $ 5,000 loan and then be forced to retire earlier than expected. In this case, these people would not only end up with a smaller Social Security benefit (the sooner you claim benefits the lower your monthly income), they would also likely have several months without having any money from Social Security. . as they repaid the loan.
Social Security Loan Could Be Cheaper Than Other Options
The counter-argument, in favor of borrowing as proposed by Trump, would be if you try to pay off other high-interest debt. The Social Security loan would probably have a better rate than most credit card debt, maybe even some car loans or student loan debt.
It is not known if you would be able to repay the loan at some point in the future. If you are able to repay the loan and it has a lower interest rate than some of your other debts, it may be beneficial to take out the loan, while taking the necessary steps to repay your debt. most expensive debt as quickly as possible. .
How Much Should You Pay Back on a Social Security Loan?
The amount you eventually owe will depend on the interest rate set by the government, your age when you took out the loan, and when you finally claim Social Security.
Here’s what you should have if you took $ 5,000 today, assuming an interest rate of 4.53%, which happens to be the federally subsidized rate for student loans in 2020 (before Covid-19 containment).
Claim social security in 10 years = $ 7,787
Claim social security in 20 years = $ 12,128
Claim social security in 30 years = $ 18,888
While the dollars owed may not seem that large, they could mean several months without Social Security income once you enter retirement. For those who are well prepared to maintain their standard of living in retirement, it probably won’t matter much. When you talk about the people who need Social Security income the most, it could be a devastating way to step into your golden years. I’m talking about at least 50% of the American population here.

DENVER (CBS4)– Sen. Michael Bennet is calling for the resignation of the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Bennet, a Democrat representing Colorado on Capitol Hill, says EPA chief Scott Pruitt must respond to his unanswered ethical questions asked by taxpayers and lawmakers.
Bennet joined other Senate Democrats is asking for his resignation on Wednesday.
“Before he was confirmed, like my colleagues, I have voiced serious concerns about his failure to recognize climate change,” said Bennet.
They claim that he has put corporate profits ahead of guarding Americans’ health and safety while spending taxpayer money on himself.
“His tenure has only confirmed my fears and more. He has failed to implement EPA’s mission and protect Colorado’s kids and his actions also warrant ethical concerns,” said Bennet.

“Benjamin Herzl used the collaboration with the pianist Fazil Say to create a brilliant performance” (Salzburger Nachrichten)
Salzburg violinist Benjamin Herzl is one of the most versatile musicians of his generation. At the age of 13, he made his debut at the International Mozart Festival with the Kurpfälzische Kammerorchester in Mannheim. Since then, he has appeared on the most important stages as a soloist: Konzerthaus Dortmund, Wiener Musikverein, Festspielhaus Salzburg, Wiener Konzerthaus, San Felipe Neri Havana, among others. In 2019/20, Benjamin Herzl acted as a Featured Artist in numerous concerts in the jubilee season 70 Years of Jeunesse Musicales. Performances at the Brucknerhaus Linz (Bruckner Orchestra) and the Wiener Konzerthaus (Filharmonie Brno) under Dennis Russell Davies, or with the SOV (Bregenzer Festspielhaus) under Gérard Korsten fell victim to the Corona pandemic, but are being caught up.
Other highlights of the 20/21 season include appearances at the Grafenegg Festival, the Wiener Musikverein, the Mozarteum Salzburg and the International Music Festival Póvoa de Varzim in Portugal. His chamber music partners include Imogen Cooper, Julia Hagen, Ingmar Lazar, Beatrice Rana, Fazil Say and Thomas Zehetmair. Benjamin Herzl has performed at festivals such as Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, LOISIARTE, Julian Rachlin & Friends, Dialoge Salzburg, Internationale Nikolaus Harnoncourt Tage, Les Musicales de Redon and Mozart Festival Havana. The OeNB exclusively lends the artist the “ex Guilet” Joseph Guarnerius violin, year 1732, from its collection of valuable string instruments. This instrument was previously played by Daniel Guilet (Beaux Arts Trio), David Oistrach, Henriyk Szeryng and Joshua Bell.
The violinist first received his education at the Salzburg Mozarteum. Later he studied in Vienna with Christian Altenburger and in the soloist class with Julian Rachlin. He is a scholarship holder of the Mozart Society Dortmund, laureate of the International Brahms Competition and winner of the Mozart Prize donated by Vadim Repin.

India’s Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle MKIII-MI took off at 2.43 pm today in the quest for its central goal to turn into the fourth nation to prevail in a moon landing. The past endeavour seven days back was cancelled an hour prior to launch because of a technical obstacle. The lunar landing mission, Chandrayaan-2, is the most mind-boggling endeavor by ISRO. It is a mix of three undertakings, the orbiter pursued by the lander and inevitably the rover which will be set on the moon.
The size of unpredictability can be measured by the way that a technologically ahead country, Israel, was ineffective in its first endeavour at moon landing in April.
As indicated b ISRO, among the most critical difficulties ahead are to check the precision of the direction (the moon is 3,844 lakh km away) and the delicate landing on the lunar surface. ISRO’s point is to get its lunar meanderer to investigate the southern polar locale of the moon. Among the general points of this mission are to discover answers to some central inquiries of the solar system and goad advancement in India’s space research programme.
Notwithstanding these goals, ISRO’s constant flow of rocket launches has business implications for India. Over the most recent three years, ISRO launched 19 rockets which conveyed 239 satellites, of which a good number of satellites i.e. 212 were satellites from other countries.
This is how ISRO is also making our economy strong beside breaking records in the Space exploration.

We asked Jenny Helldahl at the Junibacken Fairy Tale house to write something about this year’s Children’s Culture Festival, which takes place just after the award week:
The Junibacken Children´s Culture Festival takes place on the 7th and 8th of June this year! It is the second year this event is organized for the purpose of highlighting children´s culture and promoting children´s literature.
The festival is being held on the island of Djurgården, just outside the Junibacken building itself. It is a lovely green spot in the heart of Stockholm, ideal for music performances, theatre plays, illustration workshops and much more. Some of Sweden´s most appreciated children´s book authors and illustrators will be conducting educational, inspiring, and most of all, fun, workshops for children between the age of 0 to 10. Our great international star this year is Chris Haughton, the author of, among other works, A Bit Lost, who will visit us with a reading and picture-showing event on the Sunday. Just before Mr Haughtons workshop, Boulevardteatern will perform the play Mamma borta, the Swedish translation of A Bit Lost, on the main stage. Other authors and illustrators are Stina Wirsén, Martin Widmark, Sara Lundberg, Sarah Sheppard, Johan Egerkrans and Maria Nilsson Thore, to mention a few, and on stage we welcome you to see, and dance and sing along with, Bröderna Lindgren (coincidentally two of the members are sons of this year´s ALMA- laureate Barbro Lindgren!), Prinsessans rockband, Oscar Danielsson as well as Junibacken´s own ensemble.
We are delighted to have such a grand line-up for this year´s festival and hope to see you there! More information and details can be found here.
ps. Did you know that there´s a spot in the Junibacken exhibitions where the new laureate of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award is presented? Do not miss during your visit!

A source close to the slain teacher's family said they were compelled to forgive the killer and pardon him under pressure from tribesmen and government officials
The case of a murdered school teacher in Sana'a ends quietly under Houthi-led mediation
Houthi authorities in Sana'a closed the case of a murdered school teacher in the capital following tribal mediation that compelled the victim’s family to waive their rights to revenge and pardon the killer unconditionally.
Faisal Saad Al-Raimi, a 42-year-old teacher at Al-Kayan private school, died on Dec. 18 after being beaten by gunmen led by Murad Nasser Al-Faqih, the owner of a car dealership in Sana’a.
The murder investigation, which drew widespread public attention, was closed over the weekend after three months of delays, apparent cover-up and regular sit-ins demanding the prosecution of Al-Faqih and an end to Houthi incursions into schools. Protesters at the sit-ins and Al-Raimi’s family warned that letting Al-Faqih off the hook sent the signal that influential Houthi loyalists can continue to commit crimes, even murder, with impunity.
Houthi authorities thwarted legal proceedings and quietly resolved the murder as a tribal affair, observers noted, despite promises from Minister of Education Yahya Al-Houthi and the Houthi-run interior ministry that the perpetrators would be arrested and face trial.
Since Al-Raimi’s murder, authorities in Sana'a have arrested a number of Al-Faqih’s family members, but not Al-Faqih himself.
An educational source close to the Houthis in Sana’a told Almasdar Online on condition of anonymity that Mohammed Hussein Al-Maqdashi, deputy minister of social affairs and labor in the Houthi-run government, has been sheltering Al-Faqih in his home.
Al-Maqdashi, who recently left his post as governor of Dhamar governorate for the role in Sana’a, led the tribal mediation with Raymah governorate tribes (where Al-Raimi is from) on behalf of Al-Faqih, who hails from Dhamar.
On Friday, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, a member of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, oversaw the tribal ruling and closure of the case.
The tribal reconciliation agreement concluded that the Al-Raimi family, tribal sheikhs and other leaders in Raymah must pardon the perpetrator, Al-Faqih, according to the Houthi-run Saba news agency.
At a ceremony thanking the sheikhs of Dhamar and Raymah, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi also thanked school teachers in general.
"Thanks to all the work that teachers give to our sons and daughters, you are offering hard work and jihad in preserving our children, and what you are doing is a struggle that must continue in the educational process despite the (Saudi-led coalition) blockade and the suspension of salaries.“
A source close to Al-Raimi's family told Almasdar Online that the family was compelled to forgive the killer and pardon him under pressure from tribesmen and government officials.
Another source familiar with the details of the mediation told Almasdar Online that the case ended with the payment of heavy compensation to Al-Raimi’s family and the Raymah tribes.
The family accepted the compensation, reasoning that the case would soon be forgotten in the current situation in the country, the source close to the mediation efforts said on condition of anonymity.
The decision of Raymah sheikhs and elders to organize sit-ins was a key factor in pressuring the Houthi authorities to take it seriously, as the rebels had initially tried to discredit the protestors in the media by suggesting that they were collaborating with the Saudi-led coalition.
Private and government schools in Houthi-controlled areas have been the target of constant incursions by Houthi militants, who have also targeted female students and teachers.
On Tuesday, the Yemeni Teachers Union accused Houthi fighters of kidnapping two teachers and blowing up two schools in northwest Marib governorate.
Last week, Houthi authorities broke into the home of a female professor at Sana’a University and evicted her and her family after a Houthi-run court sentenced her husband, a minister of parliament, to death on allegations of collaborating with the Saudi-led coalition.
In late February, a Houthi soldier stormed a school in Shar'b district in Taiz governorate and started shooting indiscriminately. The Houthi supervisor responsible for the soldier said the gunman was mentally ill and taking drugs.

Click on the link here for Audio Player – The Fratellis – Live At Pinkpop – VPRO-3FM – 2007
After a three year hiatus, The Fratellis got back together in June of last year, and as of a few days ago have released their third album We Need Medicine, embarking on a series of gigs to promote the album. They are heading to the U.S. in November, and by the looks of it, they are selling out quickly. They are slated to open at The Henry Fonda theatre in Hollywood on November 12th – if you’re in L.A. – get tickets . . . now!
As a refresher course over what you may have missed, or if you’re just getting acquainted with the band, here is a concert they did from the 2007 Pinkpop Festival in The Netherlands, recorded by the venerable VPRO and archived for posterity.
As you can hear, The Fratellis are a rather high-voltage band. It would no doubt do you a lot of good to crank this puppy up, since it is Friday night and all.
Get ready for the weekend – in the meantime, enjoy.


Our new EP “Live at Zaphod’s” is now available. You can pick it up on iTunes, Google Music, CdBaby, Amazon, and more. Physical copies of the album are also available.
This recording serves as a glimpse into us doing what we enjoy most of all. Being on stage and in front of a crowd. We hope you enjoy this EP and it helps tide you over while we continue to work on what’s next. Cheers!

A control evaluation was repeated after recovery. Findings: M. R. recovered from the left hemiparesis within 90 days of
the accident, which indicated a transient right brain impairment. One year later, neurobehavioral, language and memory evaluations strongly suggested a dissociative component in the mutism and ret-rograde amnesia. Investigations (including MRI, fMRI, diffusion tensor imaging, EEG and r-TMS) were normal. Twentyseven months after the electrical injury, M. R. had a very mild head injury which was followed by a rapid recovery of speech. However, the retrograde amnesia persisted. Discussion: This case indicates an interaction of both organic and dissociative mechanisms in order to explain the patient’s symptoms. The study also illustrates dissociation in the time course Barasertib molecular weight of the two different dissociative symptoms in the same patient. Copyright (C) 2011 S. Karger AG, Basel”
“The Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) elicits a variety of biological responses. Na+/I- NSC23766 inhibitor symporter (NIS)-mediated iodide uptake is the main rate-limiting step in thyroid hormonogenesis. We have recently reported that LPS stimulates TSH-induced iodide uptake. Here, we further analyzed the molecular mechanism involved in
the LPS-induced NIS expression in Fisher rat thyroid cell line 5 (FRTL-5) thyroid cells. We observed an increase in TSH-induced NIS mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner upon LPS treatment. LPS enhanced the TSH-stimulated NIS promoter activity
denoting the NIS-upstream enhancer region (NUE) as responsible for the stimulatory effects. We characterized a novel putative conserved kappa B site for the transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) within the NUE region. NUE contains two binding sites for the transcription factor paired box 8 (Pax8), main regulator of NIS transcription. A physical interaction was observed between the NF-kappa B p65 subunit and paired box 8 (Pax8), which appears to be responsible for the synergic effect displayed by these transcription factors on NIS gene transcription. Z-DEVD-FMK in vivo Moreover, functional blockage of NF-kappa B signaling and site-directed mutagenesis of the kappa B cis-acting element abrogated LPS stimulation. Silencing expression of p65 confirmed its participation as an effector of LPS-induced NIS stimulation. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation corroborated that NIS is a novel target gene for p65 transactivation in response to LPS. Moreover, we were able to corroborate the LPS-stimulatory effect on thyroid cells in vivo in LPS-treated rats, supporting that thyrocytes are capable of responding to systemic infections. In conclusion, our results reveal a new mechanism involving p65 in the LPS-induced NIS expression, denoting a novel aspect in thyroid cell differentiation.

17 TV Sisters Who Perfectly Captured What Sisterhood Is *Really* Like
Hilary and Ashley Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
The Banks sisters both grew up with a silver spoon on their mouths, but aside from that, they’re pretty much totally opposites. Hilary (Karyn Parsons) embraces her upbringing and is a complete spoiled brat. Ashley (Tatyana Ali) isn’t quite as snobbish as her older sister, mostly due to her parents raising her to be a bit more humble. The sisters did manage to bond as the two most stylish members of the Banks family! Plus, the fact that they can switch from making fun of each other to defending one another in a heartbeat is oh-so relatable! They don’t have much else in common besides their sisterly bond!

Developmental Brain Physiology and Pathology
Team Leader : Laurent GROC
Laurent GROC is Research Director (DR1 CNRS) at the CNRS and Université de Bordeaux, head of the team Development, and deputy director of the Interdisciplinary Institute for Neuroscience. His research focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the maturation of glutamate synapses in physiology and neuropsychiatric conditions, such as psychosis. He received his Ph.D. in Neurosciences in 2000 from Wayne State University (Michigan, USA) and Université de Lyon (France). He then joined the Department of Physiology at the University of Goteborg (Sweden) as a postdoctoral fellow to investigate the physiology of developing synapses. In 2004, he was appointed CNRS young investigator (CR) in Bordeaux to decrypt how excitatory synapses mature using an original combination of approaches. He received several prestigious awards, including the 2008 CNRS Young Investigator Award, 2009 Young Investigator Biology Award of the French Science Academy, 2015 Prix Foulon of the French Science Academy, 2015 Prix Dassault, and 2016 Human Frontier Science Program Award. In 2020, he has been nominated Guest Professor at the Sahlgrenska Academy in Sweden. Biosketch.
Our aim is to uncover the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the maturation of glutamatergic synapses and brain cell networks in a physiological condition as well as in models of neuropsychiatric disorders, such as psychosis. We focus our attention on the interplay between neurotransmitter (glutamatergic, GABAergic and monoaminergic) and immune systems. As an example, we dissect how autoantibodies directed against neurotransmitter receptors and purified from patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms alter synaptic, network and behavioural functions. To tackle these challenges, we develop and use different approaches, such as single molecule imaging in brain tissue, super-resolution imaging, FRET-FLIM, molecular biology, biochemistry, electrophysiology, and behavioural tests.

Human endogenous retroviral protein triggers deficit in glutamate synapse maturation and behaviors associated with psychosis
Mobile genetic elements, such as human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), produce proteins that regulate brain cell functions and synaptic transmission and have been implicated in the etiology of neurological and neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorders. However, the mechanisms by which these proteins of retroviral origin alter brain cell communication remain poorly understood. Here, we combined single-molecule tracking, calcium imaging, and behavioral approaches to demonstrate that the envelope protein (Env) of HERV type W, which is normally silenced but expressed in patients with neuropsychiatric conditions, alters the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)–mediated synaptic organization and plasticity through glia- and cytokine-dependent changes. Env expression in the developing hippocampus was sufficient to induce behavioral impairments at the adult stage that were prevented by Env neutralization or tuning of NMDAR trafficking. Thus, we show that a HERV gene product alters glutamate synapse maturation and generates behavioral deficits, further supporting the possible etiological interplay between genetic, immune, and synaptic factors in psychosis.

NMDA receptor along dendrites - PNAS, September 2020
Hippocampal pyramidal neurons are characterized by a unique arborization subdivided in segregated dendritic domains receiving distinct excitatory synaptic inputs with specific properties and plasticity rules that shape their respective contributions to synaptic integration and action potential firing. Although the basal regulation and plastic range of proximal and distal synapses are known to be different, the composition and nanoscale organization of key synaptic proteins at these inputs remains largely elusive. Here we used superresolution imaging and single nanoparticle tracking in rat hippocampal neurons to unveil the nanoscale topography of native GluN2A- and GluN2B-NMDA receptors (NMDARs) -which play key roles in the use-dependent adaptation of glutamatergic synapses- along the dendritic arbor. We report significant changes in the nanoscale organization of GluN2B-NMDARs between proximal and distal dendritic segments, whereas the topography of GluN2A-NMDARs remains similar along the dendritic tree. Remarkably, the nanoscale organization of GluN2B-NMDARs at proximal segments depends on their interaction with calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), which is not the case at distal segments. Collectively, our data reveal that the nanoscale organization of NMDARs changes along dendritic segments in a subtype-specific manner and is shaped by the interplay with CaMKII at proximal dendritic segments, shedding light on our understanding of the functional diversity of hippocampal glutamatergic synapses.

SpaceX recently tried for a second time to land its Falcon 9 rocket on a floating drone barge and for the second time, the experiment ended in explosive fashion. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said via Twitter that the rocket landed fine but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post-landing. That’s better than the January landing in which the rocket came down at an angle and violently exploded on impact.
The eventual goal is to be able to successfully land a rocket in order to reuse it. Musk previously said that if one can figure out how to effectively reuse rockets like we do airplanes, the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred.
No word yet on when SpaceX will try for a third time.

Courtesy of Ina Garten, this is a wonderful winter fruit crisp. I cut down on the sugar and added almonds (I also think pecans would be tasty), but after that it’s up to you to make the tough decision of ‘ice cream vs. whipped cream’ – enjoy!
Apple and Pear Crisp – this is a large one, good for a crowd!
2 lbs. ripe pears (I used Bartlet), cored and diced
2 lbs. firm apples (I used Granny Smith and Pink Lady), peeled, cored and diced
1 t. EACH grated orange zest AND lemon zest
2 T. EACH freshly squeezed orange juice AND lemon juice
1/4 c. EACH flour AND sugar
1 t. cinnamon AND 1/2 t. nutmeg
1 1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar AND 1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 t. kosher salt
1 c. large flake oatmeal
1/2 c. cold butter, diced
1 c. + chopped almonds or pecans (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 and place the prepared pears and apples in a large bowl. Add the zests, juices, flour, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, give it all a good stir to combine and then scrape the mix into a casserole dish that will hold it all.
For the topping, combine the flour, sugars, salt, oatmeal and butter in the bowl of your electric mixer and mix on low for a minute or 2 until the mix is in large crumbles. Stir in the nuts, if using, and then sprinkle all of the topping evenly over the fruit. Place the casserole on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes to an hour until the topping is a golden brown and the fruit is bubbling throughout. We enjoyed ours warm with vanilla ice cream.
