The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the CDC’s panel of independent vaccination advisers, yesterday recommended adding COVID-19 vaccines to the list of recommended vaccines in the routine immunization schedules for children and adults.
The recommendation is part of the updates to the 2023 childhood and adult immunization schedules and comes “almost two years since COVID-19 vaccines were first rolled out in the U.S., and nearly 630 million doses have been administered nationwide,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) said.
Per a CDC press release, the ACIP recommendation to add COVID-19 vaccines to the routine immunization schedules “represents another step in the nation’s recovery.”
CDC underscored that these are only “recommendations for use of vaccines, while school-entry vaccination requirements are determined by state or local jurisdictions.”
The latest recommendation “simply helps streamline clinical guidance for healthcare providers by including all currently licensed, authorized and routinely recommended vaccines in one document,” without changing the COVID-19 vaccine policy, CDC said.
“The updated schedules and program guidance will be published in early 2023,” CDC said.
Ensuring equitable access
Noting the ACIP meeting featured a presentation of the remarkable safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines in preventing severe outcomes, including hospitalization and death, American Medical Association (AMA) Board Chair Dr. Sandra Adamson Fryhofer emphasized the importance of the vaccine for children.
“AMA applauds ACIP for recommending the addition of the COVID-19 vaccines to the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. This step helps ensure equitable access to the vaccines as we transition COVID-19 countermeasures to the commercial marketplace,” she said. “This essential federally funded program provides no-cost vaccines to children who otherwise might not get vaccinated because of insurance status or inability to pay.”
Adding COVID vaccines to the immunization schedule is the first step in potentially having them “covered by the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program” (VICP), which allows those alleging vaccine injuries to pursue settlements from the federal government instead of vaccine manufacturers, according to Politico. “HHS would have to formally add COVID vaccines to the VICP, and Congress would have to pass legislation imposing excise taxes on COVID vaccine doses to be covered under the program,” Politico adds.
The CDC on Monday issued an interim immunization schedule for the COVID-19 vaccine for all Americans over six months old. The schedule includes recommendations on the number of doses, the interval between doses, and advice for those who are immunocompromised.
According to the National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP), 17 states have passed laws prohibiting COVID vaccine mandates for students. Although the CDC stresses that it is only making recommendations, “adding COVID vaccines to the immunization schedules could influence states that are inclined to require them for school entry to do so,” as many states use the schedules as guidance for requirements, according to vaccine law experts cited by Politico.

Alexandria is turning 271 years old next month, but due to coronavirus concerns the city’s annual massive birthday event will be virtual.
The event, which also celebrates the countrywide July 4 festivities, draws thousands of residents and visitors along Oronoco Bay Park to receive birthday cupcakes; listen to the city’s poet laureate; and ooh and ahh at a fireworks show over the Potomac River as the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra (ASO) plays the 1812 Overture — with actual howitzer blast punctuations by the Presidential Salute Battery of the 3d United States Infantry Regiment.
According to the city calendar, “Because all special events have been cancelled or postponed through August, the City of Alexandria’s annual Birthday Party and fireworks will not be held in person this year. The City will announce virtual alternatives for this celebration of Alexandria’s 271st and the USA’s 244th birthday.”
ASO Music Director James Ross said that last year’s event was a blast and that he has tried presenting an alternative concert to the city.
“All I know is that they cancelled the concert, so we aren’t participating,” Ross said. “We’re trying to propose what modular version of a concert that we can, even if it’s just 10 musicians… I had such fun leading the concert last year, and I hope that events with gatherings of thousands of people and fireworks will come back as we learn to live with the coronavirus.”
Old Town resident Hal Hardaway enjoys the annual event, but supports the cancellation.
“I think it’s probably a good idea,” Hardaway said. “I don’t go overboard about the coronavirus, but I do use caution. It is important (to cancel it), even though I’ve been going to that celebration for 21 years. I love the symphony and seeing the people, but it’s usually just packed, so it would be too close.”
Incidentally, Hardaway is a co-founder of the annual Old Town Festival of Speed & Style, which was rescheduled from June 7 to September 6.

Polls brought more bad news for U.S. President Donald Trump Monday, Time magazine reported.
After a Gallup poll of 1,500 telephone respondents released early Monday morning showed his job approval rating at 37 percent, a GenForward poll of 1,833 Americans taken Feb. 16 through March 6 and released later in the day Monday showed more than half of Americans age 18 to 30 view the presidency as “illegitimate.”
Fifty-seven percent of young adult respondents said they view Trump’s presidency in a negative way, the results revealed.
The poll showed large majorities of young Americans of color disapprove of a Trump presidency as 74 percent of black respondents, 60 percent of Asian-American respondents and 71 percent of Latino respondents expressed the opinion, the report said.
The Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago conducted the poll in cooperation with the Associated Press–NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Only 22% of young adults approve of Trump's performance as president, while 62% disapprove, the report said.

text: T. WILSON. 179 the pursuivant. And I did undertake for Mr. Wilson, that he should answer his accusers in any of the king's courts at Westminster. The bishop made me answer, ' I am sure that he will not be absent from his cure a twelvemonth together.' ". Upon the above resolution of the house, he was released from all his troubles, when he returned to his charge and wonted labours at Otham. In the year 1643, he was nomi- nated one of the assembly of divines ; and, though at so great a distance, he constantly attended. In the assembly he was much esteemed for his meek and humble deportment, and his grave and judicious counsels. Having continued some timeat Otham, he removed to Maidstone, where he remained to the day of his death. Here his first care was to promote the reformation of the church, and to administer the sacra- ments, according to his views of the word of God. To this end he preached upon the necessity of observing scriptural discipline, and the qualifications necessary to church-fellow- ship. At first he met with considerable opposition, but by prudence and perseverance things were brought to a favour- able issue. Mr. Wilson was indefatigable in his attendance upon his numerousduties, and usually observed the following method he protracted his studies on Saturdays nearly till midnight, and rose by two or three o'clockon a sabbath morning, being much displeased if he was later. About seven he came out of his study, and called his family together, when he 'read and expounded a portion of scripture, requiring those present to give some account of the exposition ; then sunga psalm, and concluded with prayer. At nine o'clock he went to church, and entered upon public worship by singing, then prayed for a blessing, and expounded out of the Old Testament about an hour; then, besides singing and prayer, he preached an hour, and concluded. Then, goinghome, he invariably prayed with his family before dinner. In the afternoon he observed the same method as in the morning, only his exposition was upon some part of the New Testament. The public services of the day being ended, he called his family together, when many neighbours attended ; then they repeated the sermons and expositions, sung a psalm, and concluded with prayer. After this he usually went to a friend's house in the town, where many attended, and did the same. He administered the Lord's supper regularly once a month, delivered weekly lectures, attended meetings for religious conference, and was Collection of Deering's Speeches, p. 9, 10. Edit. 1642.

If you are currently a parent to a young child and geek out over parenting books, you know that brain development is crucial during the first five years of life. Feed them whole milk yogurt, avocado, olive oil, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, organic! We try our best to feed our kids right, make sure they get enough activity and social interaction. Sometimes we may break the rules, but for the most part we do our best, with what we have.
What about the kids who aren’t as well off? How does stress from poverty – including experiencing homelessness, hunger, and lack of other basic needs, affect their development?
Over the weekend the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) held their annual meeting. Presented at the meeting was a panel on early childhood poverty and it’s long term affects.
Researchers presented findings that poverty-related stress from birth to age 5 can affect the neurobiology of the child – including how their genes are expressed, how their bodies release of hormones, both of which can have lasting results on physical and mental well being later in life.
One study looked at data from a 40-year demographic study on Americans from different household incomes:
They found “striking differences” in how the children’s lives turned out as adults, depending on whether they were poor or comfortably well-off before the age of six.
“Compared to children whose families had incomes of at least twice the poverty line during their early childhood, poor children complete two fewer years of schooling, work 451 fewer hours per year, earn less than half as much,” the study said.
They also received more than 800 dollars a year more in food stamps as adults, and were more than twice as likely to report poor overall health or high levels of psychological distress, the study said.
Poor children were also fatter than their more affluent counterparts, and were more likely to be overweight as adults.
Interestingly the study found that public policy matters.
The study also found that it was possible to positively shape the futures of poor children, by giving the families of under-fives additional income.
This was associated later in life with significantly higher adult earnings and work hours, and less need for state aid in the form of food stamps, the study found.
“The analysis indicates that policy makers might do well to focus on situations involving deep and persistent poverty early in childhood,” the study said.
We have acute problems today – the ranks of the “new poor” are rising, and family homelessness is on the brink of explosion. But the long term effects won’t be seen for quite some time. Affordable childcare and providing basic needs (food, shelter, healthcare, diapers!) for all children should matter to each and everyone of us.
The question remains, how much are we willing to act on it?

Недоурбанизированная идентичность: компаративный анализ медиапотребления сельских жителей Костромской и Ростовской областей
The article analyzes the specifics of urbanization dynamics in Egypt, which is noteworthy for a number of reasons. First, there was a shift from the logistic trend in the 1970s, and the share of urban population stopped growing. The UN data analysis shows that such a shift usually occurs against the background of very serious economic difficulties (and other problems associated with them). However, the urban population proportion stopped growing in Egypt when the country was experiencing a period of exceedingly rapid economic growth. We find labor migration of unprecedented scale to be the main reason which engendered this seemingly paradoxical situation. We further proceed to analyze the UN forecast on the dynamics of the Egyptian urban population proportion up to 2050, which implies a return to the logistic trend and rapid growth of the urban population share, which is fraught with socio-political instability risks. However, we present data proving that the logistic urbanization trajectory is not inevitable for Egypt, and the destabilization risks connected with the rapid increase of urban population share are largely irrelevant to Egypt in the forecasted period.
In this special session of the International Place Branding Conference in Utrecht, we reflected on the shared ideas of place branding and discussed conclusions that are debated among experts in the profession. The dialogue between the participants resulted in a common understanding that will function as the base for further discussions on place branding.
This book is a collection of all papers presented at the conference, with only a few exceptions. The authors have updated them and are responsible for their content and language, as very little editing was undertaken on our side. Some papers are more mature and fit for publication, while others are clearly “work in progress”. It was important for us to present them all here, thus encouraging the authors to work on them in the near future.
The article is concerned with results of content analysis of textbooks for high school in the area of social and human sciences. The author uses the typology of values introduced by S. Schwartz which consists of two value axes — “conservation — openness to change” and “selfassertion — caring about people and nature” — and describes values that underlie each subject area and then compares these values with results of mass surveys of the values of Russians.
This article defines the framework for identifying social and economic challenges that the timber industry currently faces in the regions of Northern European Russia. The analysis of identified problems on a regional and local scale for the case of Kostroma oblast is presented. The main institutional shifts during the
1990s–2000s are discussed, along with economic problems of regional timber industry systems and their social implications, as well as how companies and rural communities of Kostroma oblast have adapted to the challenges of the ongoing economic recession in 2009.

This eco village design concept was to facilitate permaculture style food production on the land, which is completely organic and zero waste. The development would be completely carbon neutral and off-grid by generating its own energy.
The local community would be invited to take part in activities such as permaculture gardening courses and cooking classes. People are encouraged to eat together and get involved in communal activities.
There are cabins on site for paying guests and also permanent accommodation for the owners and for refugees. The refugee accommodation and meals would be free in return for assistance with tending to the land. This concept of a cash free micro-economy would be applied to the wider community, where people could trade goods, time and skills with others in an informal and community minded way.

About Leil Lowndes
Leil has devoted her professional life to helping people become more effective communicators in business, social, and romantic relationships.
The passion she brings to her writing and speaking on communication skills can be traced to childhood when she suffered almost debilitating shyness which lasted right through college. After being a teacher for six years and still feeling socially insecure, she decided to leave the teaching profession and work only in situations which put her in constant touch with a wide variety of individuals. Here is a short history of how she gained her insights and share them with the world.
After working with elementary school children, she decided to take the first step toward her goal by becoming an international flight attendant to feel at ease speaking with adults from all over the world. Still shy in front of crowds, however, tried acting to become confident on stage in. But, although she was very successful (even starring in a Broadway show,) she wasn't satisfied simply speaking from a playwright's script. To become comfortable addressing large audiences with her own "script," she became a cruise director on ships traveling around the world. That exhausting experience of dealing with people almost 24 hours a day, she said, would cure anyone's shyness!
Between trips, Leil worked as substitute host on New York's #1 radio talk show. Interviewing celebrities and political figures is how she became confident talking to anybody about anything.
After decades of communicating with all types and ages of people, Leil decided to write and speak to groups to share her knowledge with the public. Leil now conducts seminars for Fortune 500 companies and speaks at conventions, but her favorite type of communicating is still one-on-one talking with people.
She has written ten books, many of which have been translated into 26 languages. The best selling ones include: "How to Talk to Anyone," "How to Instantly Connect with Anyone," Good-bye to Shy," "How to Be a People Magnet," and "How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You."

The neighborhood record store offers a necessary crutch-- a place to run with terminally unlistenable discs which one can trade in for something more worthy of aural ingestion. But what about all the used discs that you know in the bottom of your heart will never be sold? The bottomless $1.99 bins would surely be an intimidating reminder of cash spent lost to pimply-faced adolescents peddling Phatfunk discs. What to do with these materially valueless artifacts?
If you're Amsterdam record shop owner Elizabeth Esselink, you go through the racks, sample the best bits, and wage war with the Hitmeister. As Solex, Esselink assembles junk-pop symphonies from unwanted discs and lays distinctive Casio lines and sultry stream-of-consciousness storylines on top. But this is no dead-end process, as one might expect-- Pick Up is the second long-player of Esselink's distinctively bouncy, nonsensical songwriting, and takes several steps forward from her intriguing debut, Solex vs. the Hitmeister.
Esselink's accomplished sampler orchestrations are more self-assured this time around. The title track opens with a muted trumpet and a rapidly accelerating beat before blossoming into a sing-songy assemblage of portentous horn punctuations and guitar strummage. She displays a chaotic command of rhythm in propelling her pieces forward-- every musical snatch follows its own platonic beat but somehow results in an illogically swinging lilt. By the end of "Randy Costanza," for example, Esselink has managed to cram two repeating string motifs alongside a two-looped guitar chord structure, and throw a polyrhythmic shuffle in for good measure. The intrinsic tempos of each vie against the rest for cadenced domination, but the result is harmonious flow. It shouldn't work, but it does.
Esselink's vocals lend cohesion to the songs, and her lyrics give you something else to wrap your head around when following the musical free-association becomes too much. With song titles like "That's What You Get with People like That on Cruises like These...", "Another Tune Like 'Not Fade Away'," and "That'll Be $22.95," rest assured that her lyrical muse is as eccentric and far-reaching as her musical one.
Pick Up is hearty pop fun for the detritus age. Esselink's productions are so characteristic, however, that it's difficult not to feel bogged down by the musical cut-and-paste formulae. And though she enlisted some friends to flesh out assorted tracks with original instrumental contributions, one could hardly tell. Nevertheless, Pick Up is a strong developmental achievement in the right direction for Solex, and should stand as inspiration for used record store owners the world over.

“I dare you to read this novel and not fall in love with Arthur Truluv. His story will make you laugh and cry, and will show you a love that never ends, and what it means to be truly human.”—Fannie Flagg
An emotionally powerful novel about three people who each lose the one they love most, only to find second chances where they least expect them
“Fans of Meg Wolitzer, Emma Straub, or [Elizabeth] Berg’s previous novels will appreciate the richly complex characters and clear prose. Redemptive without being maudlin, this story of two misfits lucky to have found one another will tug at readers’ heartstrings.”—Booklist
For the past six months, Arthur Moses’s days have looked the same: He tends to his rose garden and to Gordon, his cat, then rides the bus to the cemetery to visit his beloved late wife for lunch. The last thing Arthur would imagine is for one unlikely encounter to utterly transform his life.
Eighteen-year-old Maddy Harris is an introspective girl who visits the cemetery to escape the other kids at school. One afternoon she joins Arthur—a gesture that begins a surprising friendship between two lonely souls. Moved by Arthur’s kindness and devotion, Maddy gives him the nickname “Truluv.” As Arthur’s neighbor Lucille moves into their orbit, the unlikely trio band together and, through heartache and hardships, help one another rediscover their own potential to start anew.
Wonderfully written and full of profound observations about life, The Story of Arthur Truluv is a beautiful and moving novel of compassion in the face of loss, of the small acts that turn friends into family, and of the possibilities to achieve happiness at any age.
Look for a sneak peek of Elizabeth Berg’s delightful new novel, Night of Miracles, in the back of the book.
“For several days after [finishing The Story of Arthur Truluv], I felt lifted by it, and I found myself telling friends, also feeling overwhelmed by 2017, about the book. Read this, I said, it will offer some balance to all that has happened, and it is a welcome reminder we’re all neighbors here.”—Chicago Tribune
“Not since Paul Zindel’s classic The Pigman have we seen such a unique bond between people who might not look twice at each other in real life. This small, mighty novel offers proof that they should.”—People, Book of the Week
Under the Cover
An excerpt from The Story of Arthur Truluv
In the six months since the November day that his wife, Nola, was buried, Arthur Moses has been having lunch with her every day. He rides the bus to the cemetery and when he gets there, he takes his sweet time walking over to her plot: she will be there no matter when he arrives. She will be there and be there and be there.
Today he lingers near the headstone of Adelaide Marsh, two rows over from Nola, ten markers down. Adelaide was born April 3, 1897, died November 18, 1929. Arthur does the math, slowly. Thirty-two. Then he calculates again, because he thinks it would be wrong to stand near someone’s grave thinking about how old they were the day they died and be off by a year. Or more. Math has always been difficult for Arthur, even on paper; he describes himself as numerically illiterate. Nola did the checkbook, but now he does. He tries, anyway; he gets out his giant-size calculator and pays a great deal of attention to what he’s doing, he doesn’t even keep the radio on, but more often than not he ends up with astronomically improbable sums. Sometimes he goes to the bank and they help him, but it’s an embarrassment and an inconvenience. “We all have our gifts,” Nola used to say, and she was right. Arthur’s gift is working the land; he was a groundskeeper for the parks before he retired many years ago. He still keeps a nice rose garden in the front of his house; the vegetable garden in the back he has let go.
But yes, thirty-two is how old Adelaide Marsh was when she died. Not as heartbreakingly young as the children buried here, but certainly not yet old. In the middle, that’s what she was. In the middle of raising her family (Beloved Mother on her tombstone) and then what? Death, of course, but how? Was it childbirth? He thinks that she was doing something in the service of her family, that she was healthy until the moment she died, and then succumbed to an accident or a sudden insult to the body. He also thinks she had bright red hair that she wore up, and tiny tendrils escaped to frame her face, which pleased both her and her husband. He feels he knows this.
It is happening more and more often, this kind of thing. It is happening more and more that when he stands beside a grave, his hat in his hand, part of a person’s life story reaches him like the yeasty scent from the bakery he passes every day on his way to the bus stop. He stares at the slightly depressed earth over Adelaide’s grave and here comes the pretty white lace dress she loved best, the inequality in the size of her eyes so light brown they were almost yellow. Tea-colored. It comes that her voice was high and clear, that she was shy to sing for her husband, but did so anyway. She did it at night, after they’d gone to bed; the night before she died, she lay in the darkness beside him and sang “Jeannine, I Dream of Lilac Time.”
And now this: she had a small diamond ring that was her mother’s engagement ring, and Adelaide wore it on a thin gold chain around her neck. It was too small for her finger, and besides, she wanted to keep it close to her heart. Her knuckles were reddened from bleach, her back bothered her from bending over the washtub to scrub her children clean, but she would let no one else do it; she loved the sight of them wet, their curly hair now plastered straight against their skulls, their cheeks pinkened by the warmth of the water; she loved the way she could hold them close for a long time, like babies, when they stepped out of the water and into her arms, into the blue towel she opened to them like a great bird spreading its wings. No. The towel was not blue. What color was it?
What color was it?
Nothing. That’s it for today. Arthur puts his hat back on his head, tips it toward Adelaide Marsh’s headstone, and moves along. Horace Newton. Estelle McNeil. Irene Sutter. Amos Hammer.
When he reaches Nola’s grave, Arthur opens his fold-up chair and gingerly sits down. The legs of the chair sink a little way into the earth, and he steadies himself, making sure the thing won’t move any more before he spreads his lunch out onto his lap. An egg salad sandwich he has today, real eggs and real mayonnaise, his doctor be damned. And a liberal sprinkling of salt, as long as he was at it.
Often his doctor can tell when he’s been cheating, but not always. Once Arthur ate a whole apple pie covered with vanilla ice cream, and at his appointment the next day, his doctor said, “I’m pleased with your progress, Arthur; whatever you’re doing, keep it up. You’ll live to be one hundred.”
Arthur is eighty-five years old. He guesses he does want to live to be one hundred, even without Nola. It’s not the same without her, though. Not one thing is the same. Even something as simple as looking at a daffodil, as he is doing now—someone has planted double-flowered daffodils at the base of a nearby headstone. But seeing that daffodil with Nola gone is not the same, it’s like he’s seeing only part of it.
The earth has begun softening because of spring. The earth is softening and the buds are all like tiny little pregnant women. Arthur wishes Nola were like spring; he wishes she would come back again and again. They wouldn’t even have to be together; he just wants her presence on Earth. She could be a baby reborn into a family far away from here, he wouldn’t even have to see her, ever; he would just like to know that she’d been put back where she belongs. Wherever she is now? That’s the wrong place for Nola Corrine, the Beauty Queen.
Arthur hears a crow call, and looks around to find the bird. It’s sitting on a headstone a few yards away, preening itself.
“Caw!” Arthur says back, taking conversation where he finds it, but the crow flies away.
Arthur straightens and regards the cloudless sky, a near-turquoise color today. He puts his hand to the back of his neck and squeezes it, it feels good to do that. He squeezes his neck and looks out over the acres and acres of graves, and nobody here but him. It makes him feel rich.
Arthur takes a bite of his sandwich. Then he gets off his chair and kneels before Nola’s headstone, presses his hand against it and closes his eyes. He cries a little, and then he gets back into his chair and finishes his sandwich.
He is folding up his chair, getting ready to go when he sees a young woman sitting on the ground, her back against a tree. Spiky black hair, pale skin, big eyes. Jeans all ripped like the kids do, T-shirt that looks like it’s on a hanger, the way it hangs on her. The girl ought to have a coat, or at least a sweater, it’s not that warm. She ought to be in school.
He’s seen her here before. She sits various places, never near any particular grave site. She never looks at him. She stares out ahead of herself, picking at her nails. That’s all she does. Fourteen? Fifteen? He tries waving at her today, but when she sees him she puts her hand to her mouth, as though she’s frightened. He thinks she’s ready to run, and so he turns away.
Maddy was half asleep when she saw that old man look over at her and wave. When he did, her hand flew up to her mouth and he turned away, then shuffled off with his little fold-up chair. She hadn’t meant to do that, make him think she was afraid. Things don’t come out right. If she sees him again, she’ll ask him who’s in the grave. His wife, she imagines, though you can’t be sure.
Maddy watches as the old man gets smaller in the distance. She sees him go to the bus stop outside the gate and stand still, staring straight ahead. He doesn’t crane his neck, looking to see if the bus is coming. He wouldn’t be one of those people who punch an elevator button over and over, Maddy thinks. He’d just wait.
She takes out her phone and snaps a close-up of a tuft of grass, a patch of bark. She loosens her shoelaces, steps out of her shoe, and photographs it lying on its side. She walks to a nearby grave and photographs the center of one of the lilies in the wilting bouquet placed over it, the gently arcing stamens, the upright pistil.
She looks at her watch: 1:40. She’ll stay here until school is over, then go home. Tonight, she’ll meet Anderson, after he’s done working. Anderson is so handsome, he makes you vacant-headed. She met him at the Walmart, where he works in the stockroom. She was leaving the store and he was coming out of the bathroom and he smiled at her and asked if she was Katy Perry. As if. She smiled back. He was on his way to get a hot dog and he asked her to join him. She was scared to, but she did. They didn’t talk much, but they agreed to meet later that night. Three months now. She knows some things about him: he was in the Army, he loves dogs, he plays guitar, a little. Once he brought her a gift: a pearl on a gold chain, which she never takes off.
She slides farther down on the tree she’s leaning against and makes the space between her knees an aperture. All those graves. Click.
Most people find graveyards sad. She finds them comforting. She wishes her mother had been buried here, and not cremated. Once she heard a guy on the radio say that the cities of the dead are busy places, and it was one of those moments when it felt like a key to a lock. They are busy places.
Last time she saw Anderson, she tried to tell him that. They were at a nearly deserted McDonald’s, and she spoke quietly. She told him about the old man she saw there all the time, about how he talked to dead people. She told him what the man on the radio had said. She told him she found it peaceful being in a cemetery with the dead. Beautiful, even. What did Anderson think?
“I think you’re fucking weird,” he said.
It made her go cold in the back. At first she sat motionless in the booth, watching him eat his fries. Then she said, “I know, right?” and barked out a kind of laugh. “Can I have one of your fries?” she asked, and he said, “If you want some, get some,” and shoved a couple of dollars over at her.
But there was the necklace. And one time right after he met her, he sent her a little poem in the mail: Hope this little note will do / To tell you that I’m missing you. Another time he kissed her from the top of her head all the way to her toes. All in a long line, kiss, kiss, kiss. She had thought of it the next night at dinner and had had to hide a shiver. “Eat,” her father had said. That was one of their chatty dinners, he talked to her. He said a word. Usually, they said nothing. Each had learned the peril of asking questions and getting answers that were essentially rebuffs. “How was work, Dad?” “Work is work.” “How was school, Maddy?” “Meh.” “Do you like this chicken?” “It’s fine.” “Want to watch Game of Thrones tonight?” “You can.”
She checks her watch again, and gets up to find another place to sit.
When Arthur gets home, he pulls the mail from the box, brings it into the kitchen to sort through it, then tosses it all in the trash: junk mail. A waste of the vision he has left, going through it.
He pours himself a cup of cold coffee from the pot on the stove and sits at the kitchen table to drink it, his long legs crossed. He and Nola, they drank coffee all day long. He pauses mid-sip, wondering suddenly if that helped do her in; she had at one time been warned against an excess of caffeine.
He finishes the coffee and rinses out his cup, turns it upside down in the drainer. He uses the same tan-colored cup with the green stripe all the time: for coffee, for water, for his occasional nip of Jack Daniel’s, even for his Metamucil. Nola liked variety in all things; he doesn’t care, when it comes to dishes. Or clothes. Get the job done, that’s all.
Here comes Gordon the cat, walking stiff-legged toward him but looking about for Nola. Still. “She’s not here,” Arthur tells him, and pats his lap, inviting the cat to jump up. Sometimes Gordon will come, but mostly he wanders off again. Arthur has heard that elephants grieve, seems like cats do, too. Houseplants, too, for that matter. Ironically, he has no luck with them. He looks over at the African violet on the windowsill. Past hope. Tomorrow, he’ll throw it away. He says that every day, that he’ll do it tomorrow. She had loved the ruffled petals. “Look,” she’d told him, when she brought it home, and she’d put a finger under one of the blossoms like it was a chin.
After a dinner of canned stew that looks like dog food, he heads upstairs to the unevenly made bed. She’d be pleased he does that, makes the bed. Here’s the big surprise: he’s pleased, too. A man doesn’t always make room in his life for appreciating certain things that seem to be under women’s auspices, but there’s a satisfaction in some of them. The toilet seat, though. Up. And there are other grim pleasures in doing things he didn’t used to get to do. Cigar right at the kitchen table. Slim Jims for dinner. What he wants on TV, all the time.
He lies down and thinks about that young girl. He feels bad for having scared her. A wave, and she seemed horrified. Seems like he understands more about the dead than the living these days, but he thinks he understands a little about her. If he sees her again, he’ll shout over, “Didn’t mean to scare you!” Maybe she’ll shout back, “I wasn’t scared! I wasn’t scared, get you!” The image of her sauntering over to him, her thumbs in her belt loops, looking to pass the time. They could talk. He could introduce her to a few of the folks underground—who he thinks they were—if she wouldn’t think he was crazy. Maybe she wouldn’t think he was crazy; from the looks of it, she has her own strange ways. He might ask her if it didn’t hurt, that ring in her nose, hanging out the bottom like a booger.

Re: modeling a crane question
Model Railroader had a two part article on modeling a "30 ton derrick" in Jan and Feb 1956.
It was similar to the C&IE folio sheet for their 100 ton crane.
There was also a similar crane on the SP de M ca 1929.

Changing Perceptions: From Generic to Gourmet
Historically, own-brand products were often associated with generic, low-quality alternatives to established brands. However, supermarkets in the UK have successfully dispelled this stereotype by investing heavily in research and development, transforming their own-brand offerings into high-quality, competitive alternatives.
Sainsbury’s, for instance, has made substantial strides in revamping its own-brand products. The retailer has collaborated with renowned chefs and food experts to elevate the taste and quality of its products. Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference range boasts an array of gourmet options, from artisanal cheeses to premium cuts of meat, challenging the notion that supermarket-branded goods are subpar.
Similarly, ASDA has focused on product innovation, introducing unique and diverse options under its own-brand umbrella. The Extra Special range at ASDA features a selection of premium products, including fine wines, exotic chocolates, and specialty cheeses. This strategic move has not only attracted discerning customers but has also positioned ASDA as a destination for affordable luxury.
Tesco and Morrisons: Meeting Diverse Tastes
Tesco and Morrisons have also embraced the trend, tailoring their own-brand offerings to cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences. Tesco’s Finest range is synonymous with quality and innovation, offering a variety of culinary delights, from international cuisines to specialty desserts. Morrisons, on the other hand, has focused on enhancing the nutritional profile of its own-brand products, aligning with the growing consumer interest in health and wellness.
ALDI: A Leader in Own-Brand Excellence
ALDI, often labeled as a discounter, has been a trailblazer in changing perceptions about store brands. While it is true that ALDI places a strong emphasis on affordability, the German retailer has also invested significantly in improving the quality and variety of its own-brand products. ALDI’s commitment to simplicity and efficiency extends to its food offerings, where customers can find a range of high-quality products at unbeatable prices.
The success of ALDI’s own-brand strategy lies in its meticulous selection of suppliers and a streamlined supply chain. By working closely with manufacturers and maintaining strict quality control, ALDI ensures that its products meet or exceed the standards set by leading national brands. This commitment to quality has resonated with consumers, making ALDI a go-to destination for those seeking value without compromising on taste.
The Savvy Shopper’s Choice
In the current economic climate, where consumers are increasingly price-conscious, the appeal of supermarket own-brand food as the savvy shopper’s choice has never been more pronounced. As household budgets tighten, discerning consumers recognise that choosing own-brand alternatives doesn’t mean sacrificing quality.
Supermarkets have not only improved the quality of their own-brand products but have also expanded their ranges to include organic, gluten-free, and vegan options. This diversity allows shoppers to find products that not only meet their budgetary constraints but also align with their dietary preferences and ethical considerations.
The Impact on Established Brands
The rise of supermarket own-brand success has undoubtedly posed challenges for established brands. As consumers become more confident in the quality of store-branded goods, they are increasingly willing to explore alternatives to traditional household names. This shift has forced established brands to reassess their pricing strategies and invest in product innovation to maintain their market share.
The evolution of supermarket own-brand food in the UK from generic alternatives to gourmet selections is a testament to the changing landscape of the grocery industry. Sainsbury’s, ASDA, Tesco, Morrisons, and ALDI have collectively reshaped consumer perceptions by investing in quality, variety, and affordability. Today, choosing own-brand products is not just a cost-saving measure but a conscious and savvy choice for shoppers who prioritise value without compromising on taste or quality. As supermarkets continue to innovate and adapt to consumer demands, the success of own-brand food seems poised to endure, making it an integral part of the modern shopping experience.

"Compensation" refers to money received for work, such as wages, salaries and tips, while the word "benefits" describes job extras provided by the employer. Benefits might include health, dental and life insurance and paid vacation time. Competitive compensation and appealing benefits attract employees to companies and positions. Some types of compensation depend on the employee's work performance while other compensation is a flat rate. Some workplace benefits are required by law and others are offered as a job perk.
Compensation is linked to the requirements of the job. Jobs that require an advanced skill set or a college degree often have higher compensation than jobs that require little or no skills and education. Compensation programs need to seem fair to employees. Workers in the same position should receive similar pay. The formula for salaries and wages should be uncomplicated. Most employees are paid by the hour, by the piece of work or on a weekly, biweekly or monthly schedule.
Benefit plans focus on employees' needs and the organization's overall objectives. Goals of benefit plans include improving employee satisfaction, keeping employees healthy, attracting new employees and motivating existing employees. Many different kinds of benefits exist, and employers choose which benefits to include in the package that they offer to employees.
Types of Benefits
Some benefits such as unemployment compensation, workers' compensation and family medical leave are required by law. Other benefits offer payment for time not worked. Although many employers offer unpaid time off, paid time off is an extra benefit. Paid time off can include holidays, sick leave and vacation.
Many benefits center on health. Medical benefits include medical and dental insurance, vision care and life insurance. Retirement benefits include pension plans, 401(k)s, stocks and retirement bonuses. Other benefits include severance pay, employee discounts, child care and payment for educational expenses.
A commission is compensation often used in sales that is based on a salesperson's volume of sales in a given time period. Some businesses offer their salespeople only commission as compensation while others offer a mix of commission and flat salary. Opponents of paying commissions argue that it makes salespeople too pushy, minimizes follow-up customer service and puts the emphasis on quantity over quality. Commission supporters argue that commissions are a good incentive that encourages salespeople to give their best to every sale.

“Fishing is the most complicated matter that we have left [por resolver]”, the head of the British negotiations with the EU, David Frost, has recently admitted before the parliament of his country.
It is a really thorny issue. The UK is determined to regain control of its waters, while the European Union is not willing to give in to the privileges that it has enjoyed in them during the last decades.
If you look at the statistics, fishing accounted for only 0.4% of the gross value added in the British economy in 2019, but this sector carries great symbolic weight for an island nation in its quest for independence from the rest of the continent. And it is that European vessels today depend on British waters to the point that 60% of what they catch comes from them.
This is possible thanks to Common Fisheries Policy, whose quotas allow a proportionate exploitation by the different member states of British waters that, for now, remain Community. But London has grown weary and aspires to emerge as an independent coastal state once its divorce from the EU is complete.
This would have a clear advantage for the country: it would finally have an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles. This brings with it a reduction in the volume of vessels that access these waters, and, in turn, a higher fishing quota for vessels flying the British flag. The less positive side is that whatever happens, the EU remains the UK’s main export market.
What is clear is that for now there is no agreement between the parties, and although London has suggested that an annual quota be introduced with the EU, as it has agreed with Norway, Brussels has not accepted. In seeking an agreement that satisfies the British partner, the Community authorities have to take into account the will of the coastal states with interests in the area.
One of them is France, which is particularly reluctant to make concessions to the United Kingdom to the detriment of its fishing interests. As Clement Beaune, the French Secretary of State for European Affairs, told Le Monde, “an agreement must respect our conditions, be it fishing, terms of competition or governance.”
For its part, Ireland fears that the reduced access of European vessels to UK waters will translate into greater exploitation of Irish waters.
In some cases, the positions taken by one or the other on this issue acquire electoral overtones. Be that as it may, it is a matter that will have to be resolved so that both parties are satisfied as much as possible, if greater tensions or even confrontations between London and Brussels are to be avoided.

Data breaching and other internet frauds have risen dramatically over the past few years. According to sources, organisations in India lost about ₹12.8 crore on average between July 2018 and April 2019. The global average total cost of data breach was USD 3.92 million (about ₹27.03 crore) with the average size of the breach being 25,575 records.
Data is an important information asset and a crucial part of organisation and big techs are striving hard to protect data from hackers. Cyber-attacks have become one of the top concerns among the big tech companies globally. It is essential for organisations to keep one step ahead of cyber attackers and hackers.
Recently, in our of our articles, we discussed steps taken to protect data by Confidential Computing Consortium created by the Linux Foundation. Tech giants like IBM, Intel, Google, Microsoft, Red Hat among others are members of this data safety consortium. These companies have contributed various toolkits and projects for confidential computing. Data is moving between various computing environments such as on-premises servers, public cloud, etc. and this consortium will assist those data to move freely with high security.
After the trade-ban with the US, China has upped its AIML game and is adopting AI not only in the organisations but also for integrating into educational purposes. In the last couple of months, Chinese researchers, as well as tech giants, have made several contributions in emerging technologies such as introducing hybrid chip known as Tianjic chip to stimulate AGI development, open sourcing Xuantie 910 which is a powerful RISC-V (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) processor.
With fast advancements in the field of emerging technologies, the fear of cyber attacks is also around the corner. For these security issues, Chinese tech giant, Alibaba has been trying to keep safe the data by ensuring data privacy and it has also recently become a member of the Confidential Computing Consortium.
A few days ago, Chinese commercial giant, Alibaba’s subsidiary Ant Financial introduced Shared Machine Learning (SML) as their solution for data privacy. SML is a combination of the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and Multiparty Computation (MPC) system. This solution includes Intel’s SGX technology in its foundation layer which is compatible with other TEE implementations and supports both online prediction and offline training. The TEE-based framework supports a variety of commonly used prediction algorithms including LR, GBDT, and Xgboost; and enables prediction on encrypted data from multiple parties while the MPC-based framework supports popular algorithms including LR, GBDT, GNN, etc. The framework is able to perform various tasks mentioned below:
- Solve the problems of load balancing, failover, dynamic expansion and shrinkage, and disaster recovery with the clustering solution
- Provide an easy-to-use development framework for users
- Reduce the user’s access cost through a built-in technology of ServiceProvider with SDK
- Solve problems such as code upgrade, grayscale publishing, and release rollback with multi-cluster management and SDK heartbeat mechanism
- Provide a provision agent mechanism to ensure that SGX does not need to connect to the external network, which improves system security
As consumers move towards a smart society data will be susceptible to breaches. In the digital era, every single important information is residing somewhere on-premise or in the cloud platform. Big tech organisations are trying hard to ensure privacy protection and strong security measures for all personal information.

A spectacular and colourful character of a top movie, Sharon Stone has starred in two more movies after her success in the current movie, "Debbie Does Dallas". More movies are on their way and this time she stars in another remake of a classic film, "Gone with the Wind". This time, the movie is a blockbuster and she is asked to play a different kind of role.
Online film fans have already started commenting about it. The director, whose name we won't mention here, hopes for reviews from other critics who haven't seen the film yet. But this writer knows all the best reviews and comments made on a review-site. One can deduce from her comments, if the reviewer really enjoyed the movie.
The film is not just for one reviewer only, but it was designed for several reviewers. So they can check it out separately and make a comparison, which is an important element in judging a movie. If the reviewer loves a movie, why not join the online community who feels the same way?
This reviewer was quite excited when she first saw the trailer, because this movie is another huge production like "Gia", a film made by Barry Lopez. The biggest movie from that director was the Oscar-winning, Oscar-nominated "Gia". In fact, he directed the films, "Her", "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints"The Candidate" and had only a few bad movies for his career.
Sharon Stone plays a police officer with a sexy body and a great attitude. Fans of her should get a kick out of her and will be amazed at how she turns into a female SWAT team member. Here's an excerpt from a review-site:
This movie, unlike its predecessors, does not center on its story exclusively on two female leads, Sharon Stone and Maggie Smith. The women are treated like human beings, and there is a great deal of chemistry between them. The relationship between the women is so believable that it would be a bit embarrassing to watch a three-minute, side-splitting montage showing two women having sex.
In my opinion, the reviews made by this reviewer are very honest. I agree with her that it is not a side-splitting montage, as some have said. While the acting is fantastic, the movie does not have the sense of music or great sets. Scenes, but scenes are dragged and there are a lot of scenes lacking action.
As a conclusion, this movie is great. It's safe and believable and the cinematography is very nice. The film's action scenes are well-executed and the fights are effective. But since the movie is called "Bombshell", and it features a stunning yet beautiful bombshell, it cannot deliver what the reviewers expect, which is the spicy sexy Scarlett Johansson's role in "Gone with the Wind".

thanks for understanding.. there are a few of us that ride around here on sundays if you want to come out to statesville.. that would be great, really good trails.. there are 8 farms here and we all ride.. so total there is like 180 acres with some really great trails. let me know and I will be sure you get directions .. send me a text if you want 615-663-6303
Heather,,, I am soooooo sorry that I didnt make it yesterday :( and I dont have your number eithor.. everything got all screwed up .... and I ended up working.. sorry... please send me your number again. I will call you and we will try again!!!!!I like you I moved here 4 years ago.. I love it here and I will never go back to Ohio.. I am excited to meet people who love to ride !!!!!!! look forward to meeting you soon!! Happy Trails :)
Welcome to the PWHAT Campfire group. I really would like to ride more in the rutherford county area. My brother rides with us some and he lives in Murfreesboro. I rode Walter Hill in early July and missed the ride we had at the East Fork boat dock last week. Let me know if there are any other group rides in that area. I will try to make them. Have fun on the trails and be safe.
Hi Heather, if I ride in this kind of weather I usually start real real early. Last week, Monday and Wednesday my husband went kyaking and I rode at Cordell Hull. We got there at 7:00am. I rode for about three hours (not long enough for me) but my horse was wringing wet so we called it quits. But still had a great time. I consider any time riding a great time. Since you live in Murfreesboro let's meet at Walter Hill when the weather gets better. I have spotted saddle horses, we're faster than quarters but we're not as fast as the Tenn Walkers. I like to gait, canter, when the terrain allows and just have fun.
It sounds like Normandy from what you said is 35 miles south of Murfreesboro. I look it up on the map. I'm looking forward to trying new places.
I have been to East Fork, it is about 3.5 hrs from here (Bradyville) and a great place to ride. Are you still thinking about riding this weekend at Walter Hill? I just wanted to let you know I have an older Appy and I don't want to slow you down. If you have a different group to go with I understand!
English riding is too damn difficult! On the trails, nobody cares how you ride unless you fall off! We don't care how you hold your reins. Or if you're posting. Or how your toes are pointing. Anything goes! Glad you came to the "other side"! It's much more enjoyable.

Middle East needs a new honest broker
In the wake of the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem and the deadly Gaza protests that followed, other nations must step forward to ease tensions and find a new direction
Israeli and American officials could not have been so wrong; on the 70th anniversary of the creation of Israel, they hailed the opening of the United States embassy in Jerusalem as a step towards peace.
But as the dignitaries smiled on Monday, their words were being proven false at the border wall to the Gaza Strip, where the worst fighting between Israeli troops and Palestinians in four years was under way.
US President Donald Trump claims he will be able to broker the “ultimate deal” between the sides. His actions could not be more damaging and it is time for global and regional powers to take charge.
China joined calls for restraint, especially by the Israeli side, after 58 Palestinians were killed and thousands injured by bullets and tear gas in the violence. There were heated exchanges between Israeli and Palestinian envoys at an emergency UN Security Council meeting, but a push for an inquiry was voted down by the United States.
Decades of efforts to find a solution have been led by the US, which has portrayed itself as an honest broker.
But right-wing Israeli governments and Palestinian extremists have pushed the limits and Trump has shown no desire for neutrality; he sided squarely with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by choosing to relocate the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, viewed by both Israelis and Palestinians as their capital.
In keeping with a decision by the international community, successive American administrations were careful not to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The peace processes they promoted hinged on the core issues of ensuring Israeli security, establishing boundaries between the separate states, deciding the future of refugees and when all else had been resolved, determining the status of Jerusalem.
Trump ignored all that with his decision and in doing so, has damaged his country’s ability to be seen by Palestinians as a fair and trustworthy negotiator.
Challenges to peace abound, as this week’s violence proves. Israeli settlement building in the Palestinian territories, illegal in the eyes of the UN, continues apace, and Hamas extremists in Gaza refuse to renounce violence against Israel. In the absence of US leadership, others have to step forward to ease tensions and find a new direction.
