The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank has raised fears of a recurrence of the 2008 financial crisis. Fear of the next global recession was further compounded by the unhealed wounds associated with the coronavirus pandemic and the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Everything in the cities is designed to promote and perpetuate the constant flow of merchandize, be it human or not. Millions of pesos are invested in the remodeling of train stations or into the inauguration of new ones, in the construction and maintenance of motorways, in technological mechanisms of control and repression, in resources for the armed lackeys who are at the service of Power.
Having that in our mind, today we wanted to sabotage, if even only for an instant, the normal functioning of the cogs that maintain the structure of the domination, attacking the intersection that connects the Floresta and Villa Luro lines with an incendiary/explosive device.
We will not enter into the debate on whether these actions are only jeopardising workers. Today it is important to break with the asphyxiating normalcy that is being approved by the vast majority of the police society.
In direct solidarity and complicity with our brothers and sister of the Conspiracy of Cells of Fire, who are on a hunger strike in Greek prisons since March 2nd, demanding the immediate release of their close ones!
It is urgent to act, given the serious health condition of our comrades; a proof more than enough about it is the fact that 6 of them have been transferred to the hospital [actually 8 CCF members are being hospitalised].
Solidarity with Angeliki and the rest of the hunger strikers!
Strength to comrades in Chile ahead of a new anniversary of the Day of the Combatant Youth. Let’s extend the riots everywhere!
Let’s avenge our dead and those imprisoned and tortured because of their struggle against the rotten Argentinean state…

To a majority of people, music is a major part of their life. In looking up ‘Why is music important?’ on Google, you will turn up a vast multitude of results, none that are very conclusive. Everybody has their own explanations and their own experiences to color their answer to this question.
Just listening to a song can cause an immediate emotional reaction, exhibit A: Let It Go – James Bay. For me, this song causes my tears to start flowing automatically.
Sometimes you just need to cry and when that happens you turn off the lights and you turn on some Adele to let it all out. Maybe it has something to do with the emotional sound of the singer’s voice that just connects to a part of the brain. It feels like the singer is telling you their story, whatever it may be.
I, among many other people, listen to music everywhere I go. In the car, in the kitchen, in the shower, at work, on my runs, at the gym, at home, on public transportation…you name the place, I’m probably listening to music or wishing I was listening to music. As I am writing this right now, I’m listening to music.
People listen to music to avoid the real world. Taking that one step further, I listen to music as if each song is a theme to my life. If my life were a movie and I had to put a music track over the scene currently playing out, what song would I choose?
Music can be a passive or an active experience. When doing other tasks, like washing the dishes, or in my case right now, writing, music takes a slight backseat. It’s a passive experience, there in the background perhaps because I just can’t stand silence. But in moments of rest from whatever I’m doing, I can jump into the song and start dancing a little or maybe singing a little. It makes whatever I’m doing a better experience. It makes the most mundane tasks a little bit more interesting.
Music as an active experience can also come in many forms. You could be a dancer or choreographer that is intensely listening to the song to pick up on any faint beats or chimes in the melody; the bass hit that will bring your moves to the next level. You could be a musician, listening to music and dissecting each layer from the bass to the guitar to the singer’s voice as the melody in order to learn more about composition. Even just being present in the song, closing your eyes and listening. Just listening to the singer’s voice or the melody, maybe just trying to find the meaning behind the song. It’s amazing how you can experience one piece of music in multiple ways.
Music can influence how you feel and bring you into a completely different world. Listening to a movie’s theme song can bring you into the world of the film. Listening to songs can put you in a certain mood whether that’s angsty, flirty, or fun. I love listening to fierce songs (ala Beyonce) before a night out with my friends, I even have a GNO (Girl’s Night Out) playlist specifically to help get me ready.
You’d be very hard pressed to find somebody who says they do not like music in any form. Music is so vast and so universal, it’s something that ties us all together.
Think of what life would be like without music. Life would be so boring and if you have any doubts, think about what movies (a mimicry of real life) would be like without music. It would be so boring and quite awkward.
I love music and I’m sure you do too!

Thousands lose power as another blaze takes over Glasgow scrapyard
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) was called to Japanese Auto Parts in Helen Street, in the Govan district of the city, at 4.24pm on Sunday (5 March) afternoon and arrived to a ‘well-developed fire’ in a building and yard on the site.
An electrical substation, operated by Scottish Power, was involved in the fire and firefighters were forced to turn off power in the area as they dealt with the blaze. Power was restored to the 3,000 homes that had been without power at around 9.50pm.
At its height, around 50 firefighters were needed to tackle the blaze, which sent a huge column of smoke into the sky, and crews worked for several hours before bringing it under control in the early hours of Monday morning.
One engine remained on the site this morning to carry out dampening work on the fire.
Japanese Auto Parts is a SEPA (Scottish Environmental Protection Agency) authorised treatment facility for end of life vehicles, which are stored in a large yard at the back of the building that caught fire. SFRS Station Manager Gregg McKearney said: “Our crews have worked tirelessly to bring this fire under control. Firefighters remain at the scene as they carry out dampening down work and ensure the safety of the public.”
Fourth large waste fire in five days
The fire in Glasgow was the fourth large waste site fire to take place within the last five days.bring a ‘severe’ fire that started in one of paper packaging supplier and recycler DS Smith’s recycling depots in Willenhall near Wolverhampton on Wednesday (1 March) morning, causing operations to be suspended on site.
The same day, Exeter-based commercial waste firm Devon Contract Waste suffered a ‘devastating’ fire at its Envirohub site in Marsh Barton, where a blaze caused two-thirds of the roof of the building, which houses a materials recovery facility and the company’s headquarters, to collapse. Over 100 firefighters had to work to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby businesses, including Exeter City Council’s waste depot.
The following day (2 March), a large fire containing 2,000 tonnes of waste broke out at Siteserv in the Vale of Glamorgan, the third fire at the site in the last four years. The fire was still ongoing this morning (6 March), with crews monitoring the fire and advising local residents to keep doors and windows closed to protect them from the smoke.
Investigations into waste fire prevention
Waste fires are a problem that have been the focus of investigation by the Chief Fire Officers’ Association (CFOA) for the past year, as the industry and firefighting services seek to find greater evidence as to how fires comprising of waste materials can best be prevented and fought.
According to the CFOA, there have been around 250 incidents of waste fires per year for the last decade, with an estimated cost to fire and rescue services of around £16 million a year.
More information is available in a comment piece written by Mark Andrews, Waste Fires Lead, at the Chief Fire Officers’ Association, for Resource suggesting how the waste industry can reduce its fire risk.

The production method of Powder Coal Activated Carbon is divided into two methods: phosphoric acid production and zinc chloride production. The powdery carbon produced by the phosphoric acid method has a developed mesoporous structure and a developed specific surface area, and has large adsorption capacity, high filtration speed, and no zinc salt. It is widely used in the food industry for the decolorization and refining of sugars, glutamic acid and salt, lactic acid and salt, citric acid and salt, wine, condiments, animal and plant proteins, biochemical products, pharmaceutical intermediates, vitamins, antibiotics, etc. Deodorize and remove impurities. The powdery carbon produced by the zinc chloride method has a developed mesoporous structure, large adsorption capacity, and rapid filtration. It is mainly used in various amino acid industries, such as decolorization, purification, deodorization and impurity removal of high pigment solutions such as refined sugar decolorization, monosodium glutamate industry, glucose industry, starch sugar industry, chemical additives, dye intermediates, food additives and pharmaceutical preparations.
Powdered activated carbon can be made into different grades of activated carbon with different adsorptive capacity, different decolorizing ability and different fineness according to user requirements. The powdered carbon has a very fast adsorption speed, and has a flocculation effect and a filter aid effect. The use of the unit has less construction investment and lower operating costs, so it is favored in waterworks and sewage treatment plants. In food, medicine, decolorization, crystallization, filtration, substance purification and other fields have a wide range of uses.

End-Stage Renal Disease:
CMS Should Monitor Effect of Bundled Payment on Home Dialysis Utilization Rates
GAO-09-537: Published: May 22, 2009. Publicly Released: May 22, 2009.
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Medicare covers dialysis--a process that removes excess fluids and toxins from the bloodstream--for most individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a condition of permanent kidney failure. Most patients with ESRD receive dialysis in a facility, while some patients with ESRD are trained to self-perform dialysis in their homes. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)--the agency that administers the Medicare program--has taken steps to encourage home dialysis and is in the process of changing the way it pays for dialysis services. Effective 2011, CMS will pay for dialysis services using an expanded bundled payment. The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 required GAO to report on the costs of home dialysis treatments and training. GAO examined (1) the extent to which the costs of home dialysis differ from the costs of dialysis received in a facility, and (2) CMS's plans to account for home dialysis costs in the expanded bundled payment. GAO obtained information from CMS, the U.S. Renal Data System, ESRD experts, and self-reported cost information from six dialysis providers.
The self-reported cost information GAO obtained from dialysis providers--including a large chain provider, small nonprofit providers, and a hospital-based provider--indicated variation in the costs to provide home dialysis when compared with costs to provide dialysis in their facility. The six dialysis providers reported lower costs per treatment to provide home dialysis than to provide dialysis at a facility, though the amount by which home dialysis costs were lower varied widely among the providers. Because patients who dialyze at home typically receive dialysis treatments more than three times per week, some providers' costs to provide home dialysis on a weekly basis can be higher than their costs to provide dialysis at a facility. However, other dialysis providers reported lower costs per week to provide home dialysis compared with dialysis provided in a facility. Additionally, several dialysis providers indicated that, for home dialysis patients, the costs of a dialysis treatment with a training session were significantly higher than the costs of a dialysis treatment without a training session. At the time of GAO's review CMS officials said they are considering factoring the costs of home dialysis treatments and training into the expanded bundled payment, but the details for the expanded bundled payment are still under development and subject to change. CMS officials told GAO that the expanded bundled payment would create incentives for providers to offer home dialysis instead of dialysis at a facility, because although some costs associated with home dialysis may be higher for providers, other efficiencies will offset those costs. For example, although supply costs may be higher for home dialysis, other costs of providing home dialysis--such as drugs, staff, and overhead--will be lower, and thus, in CMS's view, will encourage providers to offer home dialysis. However, concerns have been raised that the way that CMS is considering accounting for the costs of home dialysis in the expanded bundled payment might not encourage providers to offer home dialysis, as CMS expects. For example, some dialysis providers raised concerns that because home dialysis generally consists of more than three dialysis treatments per week--which may result in higher weekly costs to provide home dialysis compared with dialysis received in a facility--providers may not be encouraged to offer home dialysis. CMS officials indicated that CMS intends to assess the effect of the expanded bundled payment on home dialysis utilization rates, but CMS has not established formal plans to monitor this effect.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Only July 1, 2013, CMS reported to us that it had established and implemented a monitoring system to review home dialysis utilization rates.
Recommendation: To determine the effect of the expanded bundled payment system on home dialysis utilization rates, CMS should establish and implement a formal plan to monitor the expanded bundled payment system's effect on home dialysis utilization rates to determine whether home dialysis utilization rates have increased as CMS expects.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Elegant white sheets draped the stage and a heavy fog slowly hovered around the band as Swedish disco queen, Robyn, sang softly offstage. The crowd waited anxiously until she finally emerged from behind a sculpture of ivory coloured, pleading hands, in a robotic silver dress. Her moves were equally mechanical, dancing simply and gracefully to the gentle tempo of the title track from her latest album, Honey.
As the beats grew faster and heavier, so too did the pulse of the Pacific Coliseum. Any and all vulnerabilities were completely shed as Robyn let the rhythms take complete control of her body and colossal voice.
The set focused heavily on Robyn’s new album, but it was certainly her smash hit, “Dancing on My Own,” that received the greatest uproar. Upon the first chorus, Robyn and her band completely cut out and let the audience harmoniously perform the hook — on their own; the likes of which had Robyn gushing.
Robyn has completely dissolved any hindrances of the fabricated pop icon persona that record companies failed to mold her into. She is in complete control of her ascension into the stars and on this particular evening she took us on a piece of that vibrant journey.

Boom Brigade from 10tons is a terrific little line drawing game hybrid that combines aspects of tower defense, a deep war plot, and detailed character building strategy to make one heck of a memorable iPhone gaming experience. Boom Brigade is the complete package and keeps getting better.
You are in charge of protecting your bunker from aliens who are attacking from left to right, in all shapes and sizes. You get to choose a trooper to start the game and you get an additional trooper each time you defeat a boss, ultimately having a total of four troopers fighting for you simultaneously. Each trooper has a set amount of powers which you can upgrade as you earn more money killing aliens. Each one also has their own strengths, and their specific weaknesses. The troopers are Minigun, Shotgu, Bazooka, and Pyro (flame thrower).
While your men will automatically fire upon the enemies, its your job to control their position in the game. You do this by drawing lines that order them where to go. You can draw lines in any shape or form on the screen, and they will follow. Don’t let the line drawing aspect fool you. Boom Brigade is a very challenging war game and requires repetitive play and practice to perfect your strategy. More points are awarded for longer survival times. During the game, as you nuke the aliens they will drop money which you then have to pick up. Build up your reserves and use it to buy all sorts of weapon upgrades, health boosts and more.
If this wasn’t enough, 10tons keeps adding more features to the game, such as a new comic strip based on the characters in the game, and new chapters with new aliens and bosses. There is a also a plethora of background information in the Xenopedia section that you can read about the different types of aliens you will be exterminating.
The line drawing controls are smooth and responsive. The sound effects are top of the line and the soundtrack feels like something out of a blockbuster action flick. The graphics are close to perfect with a fluid combination of a 2D battlefield and 3D characters. All this combined with the challenging gameplay loaded with a barrage of customizable artillery blasting deadly aliens on a futuristic battlefield, makes Boom Brigade one of the best and most original line drawing war games we’ve seen in some time that will keep you coming back for more.

Your finances can often become the root of your stress and problems. It's hard to maintain a positive outlook in life when your bank account is close to zero. However, there are several ways for you to attain a healthy mindset for that financial peace of mind. One of the best ways to ensure that you are stress-free financially is to take the time to prepare yourself.
Being prepared is key to becoming financially secure. While several people have different methods of doing so, they all essentially have basic steps in common. Achieving financial peace of mind requires building simple habits that have compounding positive effects in the long run.
Before we go over these habits, let's briefly talk about financial peace of mind: what it means and why it should be one of your personal finance goals.
What is Financial Peace of Mind?
The concept of having financial peace of mind is defined by how well you understand how your money impacts your relationships. It is also about how money affects you emotionally and spiritually.
To gain financial peace of mind, you must first find a balance between these aspects and avoid overlooking possible risks. There are several methods of doing this, but you can start with the steps indicated below.
1. Determine your current financial situation
Everyone's financial situation is different. Before you can balance your finances, you must determine your current financial situation and what causes you to stress over it. Common problems often include not having enough money to cover bills, not saving enough cash after expenses, etc.
2. Make smart management decisions with your debt
Make a list of what you usually spend every month and determine which of these are essential and not. Once you have this list, you can create a balanced budget to stick with to help you pay off any debt and avoid further problems in the future.
3. Beopen about financial talk with your partner
Financial problems can affect how your relationships play out. Talk to your partner about each other's finances and how both of you can manage them wisely. By doing so, you can determine a safe budget that will allow you to have financial peace of mind. Despite the difficulty, the habit will become easier over time and enable you to reach your goals.

4. Build a financial safety net and emergency fund
It would help to have a security net for your finances as early as possible because it takes time to build one. Standard methods include getting life insurance, buying a home, and developing an emergency fund. These savings should last you and your loved ones 3 to 6 months or as needed if you cannot attain regular income anymore.
5. Outline your goals for the future
Setting a plan without a goal can easily cause you to become unmotivated and inconsistent with your finances. Create a realistic goal for yourself, depending on your financial capabilities at the time. This will act as a reminder and motivator for you to gain financial peace of mind.
6. Make payments automatic (auto-debit)
Paying your bills as early as possible eliminates additional stress for you that can accumulate over time. If you have a credit card, consider setting automatic payments to essential factors such as home utilities and phone bills.
However, to do this regularly, you need to establish a safety cushion in your bank account, which may take a bit of time to pile up depending on your financial status.
7. Know where your money is going
Having a financial tracking app can help you easily determine your spending habits. This will help you better understand yourself and attain a sense of control over your money.
Small changes towards bigger impacts
Throughout human history, money has been a source of mixed emotions and problems for many. Because of the uncertainties in life, we cannot fully determine how much we need to keep aside for safety. As a result, we often become stressed and frustrated over situations we cannot control.
Adopting a healthy mindset towards your finances as early as possible is one of the best ways to stay stress-free when it comes to finances. This is because attaining financial peace of mind takes time and effort to achieve.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, you can still start making small steps towards financial peace of mind by making the right investments. Contact us today to find an easy way for you to get insured during these uncertain times.

Discussing the continuous case, Schengeli and Williams appear to have a great deal in run of the mill, with the two moms clearly overlooking their youngsters in the fury of different endeavors. The Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Schengeli’s four kids are currently held “in a protected climate” while she and Evans are as of now in prison.
There are not many subtleties accessible with regards to the two guardians in which they have been charged. Evans should be Schengeli’s beau and father of the newborn child and four-year-old twin young ladies. The dad of the eight-year-old, who called 911, is yet to be followed.
We were unable to observe any online media profiles for Schengeli or Evans, so it’s uncertain where they worked for sure they accomplished professionally. On December 22, the senior kid dialed 911 later Schengeli got unaware of savoring liquor greater amount. This prompted EMS arriving at the home, where they found a child in a den close to her bed.

There isn’t a lot of data accessible connected with this case however we will refresh all the data when we get any.

Since the initial descriptions of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in the 1960s, both the number of patients receiving transplants and the indications for the procedure have increased significantly. OLT represents the only treatment modality for many patients with a diverse spectrum of disease, with the predominant common factor end-stage liver failure. Advances in perioperative care of the donor and recipient, organ preservation methods, and surgical techniques have resulted in a 5 year overall survival of 78% for all recipients (Kim et al, 2015).
The first published description of human liver transplantation was by Starzl and colleagues in 1963 at the University of Colorado. In this seminal paper, the dismal outcomes of three OLT recipients were described, including one intraoperative death from uncorrectable coagulopathy and two survivors of 7 and 22 days. In addition to the pioneering conceptual framework and implementation of LT, the advanced techniques included grafts from non–heart-beating donors, venovenous bypass in the recipients, choledochocholedochostomy, and coagulation monitoring by using thromboelastography (TEG). Many of these concepts remain or have reentered the realm of LT more than 40 years after their initial description. Based largely on the initial body of work by Starzl and colleagues, this section describes the surgical procedures commonly used worlwide.
The typical deceased donor has had a catastrophic head injury or an intracerebral bleed, with brain death but without multisystem organ failure. Electrolyte imbalance and hepatic steatosis in the donor are predictors of graft nonfunction. A “donor risk index” has been derived to assess the likelihood of good graft function. Key adverse factors include older donor age (especially >60 years of age), use of a split or partial graft, and a non–heart-beating donor, from which the organs are harvested after the donor’s cardiac output ceases, in contrast to the more typical deceased donation in which the organs are harvested prior to cardiovascular collapse. Use of non–heart-beating donors is associated with reduced rates of long-term graft survival and increased risk of biliary complications, which correlate with the duration of “warm ischemia” after cardiovascular collapse and before retrieval of the organ. With the critical shortage of deceased organ donors, expansion of the donor pool has included acceptance of donors 70 years of age and older for selected recipients. Prior to hepatectomy, the harvesting team makes a visual and, if necessary, histologic assessment of the donor organ. Particular attention is paid to anatomic variants in the hepatic artery that may complicate the graft arterial anastomosis in the recipient. Once donor circulation is interrupted, the organ is rapidly infused with a cold preservation solution (e.g., University of Wisconsin, histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate, or Institut Georges Lopez solution). Donor iliac arteries and veins are also retrieved in case vascular grafting is required. After its arrival at the recipient institution, further vascular dissection, with arterial reconstruction if necessary, is performed before implantation.
Major challenges remain in LT, including the shortage of donor organs, threat of recurrent disease, and morbidity associated with lifelong therapeutic immunosuppression. Nevertheless, the availability of LT has transformed the lives of patients with advancing liver disease and their health care providers from an ultimately futile effort to manage the complications of cirrhosis into a life-prolonging and life-enhancing intervention.
The AGA recently published a Clinical Practice Update reviewing the best available evidence on pancreatic necrosis, regardless of cause. The update provides 15 best practice advice points that include the need for multidisciplinary care coordination and referral to a tertiary-care center as appropriate. The update describes supportive care, avoidance of prophylactic antibiotics, and optimization of nutrition. In addition, there is an included algorithm for the management of pancreatic necrosis requiring debridement. Debridement within the early acute phase of pancreatitis (within the first 2–4 weeks) should be avoided if possible secondary to increased morbidity and mortality. Intervention in the late phase (> 2–4 weeks) is indicated for patients with infected necrosis or persistent organ dysfunction and failure to thrive. Multiple approaches are available for the management of infected necrosis, including but not limited to percutaneous, endoscopic, or laparoscopic transgastric, or open debridement. In addition, a combination approach using percutaneous drainage followed by videoscopic retroperitoneal debridement or step-up approach can also be used. Since the publication of a multicenter RCT (PANTER) in 2010, the step-up approach for necrotizing pancreatitis has been increasingly used.
The step-up approach or video-assisted retroperitoneal debridement (VARD) is a minimally invasive technique that begins with percutaneous drain placement for necrotizing pancreatitis followed by a minimally invasive retroperitoneal necrosectomy. Patients who underwent the step-up approach versus open necrosectomy had less multiple-organ failure, incisional hernias, and newonset diabetes, but no difference in mortality. The 2020 AGA Clinical Practice Update on the management of pancreatic necrosis suggests that best practice is that ‘‘minimally invasive operative approaches to the debridement of acute necrotizing pancreatitis are preferred to open surgical necrosectomy when possible, given lower morbidity’’. However, the update also notes that open necrosectomy still has a role in the modern management of acute necrotizing pancreatitis, particularly for cases whereby less invasive techniques are not feasible.

Originally two stories published in the New Yorker, “Franny” and “Zooey” are combined here into one novel. This is the story of the two youngest of the seven Glass children. They are highly educated, intellectually superior children entering adulthood. All seven Glass children were child stars on a popular quiz show “It’s a Wise Child”. As the children mature, their genius and family prosperity does not combat their woes and questions about the larger world.
In the first part Franny is having dinner with her boyfriend Lane Coutell, in a fancy French restaurant. She is telling him about her recent spiritual crisis. Lane represents all that is elitist and materialistic, all that Franny has come to detest. Lane gorges himself on frog’s legs, as Franny is unable to eat her simple chicken sandwich. This piece of the novel ends with Franny blacking out in the restaurant.
The second part of the novel is Zooey, focusing on the youngest Glass son, actor Zachary. It is a few days later and Franny is home recuperating on the couch of the Glass family apartment in New York. Zooey is indulging in a bath, re-reading a four-year-old letter from brother Buddy. Constantly interrupted by his mother’s urging to see what’s wrong with his sister, Zooey erupts angrily at Bessie Glass. Here is where we learn all the “dirt” on the Glass family. Their parents’ roots in vaudeville, the children’s intelligence and proclivity towards the dramatic arts, and the suicide of eldest brother Seymour is explained through the narrative of Buddy’s letter to Zooey.
Bessie Glass appears confused over the fact that Franny doesn’t want to go back to college. What could be so wrong since she’s smart AND pretty? She won’t even have any chicken soup! You sense Zooey’s frustration towards his mother. The struggles to grow up, live up to expectations, and become self-actualized are themes still prevalent today.
Critics were not kind to Salinger’s work. Franny and Zooey has been dismissed as a self-indulgent work by an intelligent, reclusive artist (not unlike Buddy Glass). I view it as a timeless family drama about disenchanted youth. The Glass family may be pretentious and privileged, but they are human. Franny and Zooey are brother and sister, young adults, trying to find their niches in life and leave behind parental expectations.

My Brother Jordan — This Documentary Will Leave You Asking 'Why God?'
My Brother Jordan is the documentary that will break your heart, touch your life, and leave you asking: 'Why God?' It is a heartfelt tribute to a man, Jordan Robinson, from the younger brother who idolized him, filmmaker Justin Robinson. To the world, Jordan Robinson is no one famous, yet through Justin's eyes, we see the qualities and characteristics that Jordan possessed made him shine as bright (or brighter even) than the most celebrated movie stars and celebrities. Due to Justin Robinson's filmmaking and his parents' use of a home video camera, the world is able to see Jordan presented throughout his life and sadly, his death.
My Brother Jordan is more than a tribute film by a brother who is sharing his grief with the world, it is a testimony to the power that one life can have on others. It is also a sobering reminder that no one is promised tomorrow and how important it is to cherish our loved ones because no one is promised forever. It is the power that one life can have to impact those around them, even after they leave this earthly realm.
Though Jordan Robinson's life was cut short, Justin's documentary has brought Jordan to millions and through this film, Jordan's legacy lives on. The example he set for his friends and family is now reaching others through film.
His message of determination, kindness, humor, and most important of all love has reached the masses.
Justin Robinson shared an announcement on his official Instagram account that his documentary has surpassed four million views on YouTube. Though this film is a labor of love, it is also a strong pick for many film festivals competitions. For those who have watched it, My Brother Jordan is already a winner.
If you haven't seen My Brother Jordan , you may watch the full movie below.
Justin Robinson shared the following statement regarding My Brother Jordan reaching over four million views.
MBJ hit 4 million views last night. i’m so stoked the world is experiencing it but i’m also (nearly) overwhelmed by the loving and empathetic response to the documentary. if only that was the first reaction in day to day life... we’d be much better off. COVID-free hugs all around. i love you. ❤🙌🏼
God shared Jordan Robinson with his friends and family for only a short while. Now Justin Robinson is sharing him with the world — and we are better for it.

The Historic Westside Urban Farm is hosting its first farmers’ market next month.
The market is slated for Saturday, March 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at James Gay III Park, 197 Harrison Ave., according to the City of Las Vegas. Local vendors and the Obodo Collective, who operate the farm, will have fresh food for sale.
The farm, which opened in April 2023, grows fresh fruits and vegetables 11 months out of the year, including lemons, tomatoes and basil, among other produce.
Members of the Obodo Collective told the Review-Journal last year that they opened the farm with the goal of helping those struggling with food insecurity, and to give the Historic Westside community, which has long been a food desert, access to fresh produce.
“The entire community is invited to come out to the farmers’ market and enjoy produce from the urban farm as well as goods offered by community vendors,” Ward 5 Councilman Cedric Crear said in a news release.

North Korea has claimed to launch a spy satellite, according to the South Korean agency Yonhap. This comes after two failed attempts in May and August. The South Korean military reported the new launch heading south, but there are no details available at this time. The Japanese Kyodo agency also reported the launch of a missile by North Korea, presumably a ballistic missile, which triggered an alarm system in the Okinawa prefecture.
In the past few hours, Tokyo had announced that Pyongyang had signaled to Japan a nine-day timeframe for the launch of a satellite transport rocket, starting from midnight on Wednesday, local time, and through November 30. However, the reported launch occurred before that time frame, according to Kyodo. The South Korean military detected the launch from the Tongchang-ri area on the northwestern coast of North Korea at around 10:43pm local time.
The missile would have flown over the Pacific Ocean at around 10:55pm local time, triggering an alarm for the inhabitants of Okinawa. However, the measures were revoked shortly after.

Texas Rangers arrest Nixon city manager
Wilson County NewsAugust 11, 2016, 3:17pm 2,291 views | 6 comments
Manuel Zepeda, 66, of Nixon has been arrested on one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child and one count of improper relationship between educator and student in Gonzales County, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).
The charges against Zepeda stem from alleged incidents beginning in 2009 involving three juvenile girls. During this period, he was a substitute teacher for the Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District. Zepeda has served as Nixon’s city manager since 2014.
As the result of an investigation requested by the Gonzales County Attorney’s Office, the Texas Rangers took Zepeda into custody without incident at Nixon City Hall and then transported him to the Gonzales County Jail.
Texas DPS urges anyone with information regarding this case or potential victims to call 210-531-4341.

Authorities say they searched the Los Angeles home of rapper YG in connection with a deputy-involved shooting in Compton earlier this month.
A Sheriff’s Department spokesman says the rapper, whose real name is Keenon Jackson, has not been implicated in the shooting and was not home at the time of the search Thursday.
Authorities have said 65-year-old Ricky Cornell Starks was killed in the July 3 shooting, though it’s not clear if he was shot by a suspect — who was driving a Cadillac Escalade registered to Jackson and firing at deputies with an assault rifle — or by deputies.
Deputy Marvin Crowder says several people were detained Thursday but none has been arrested.
Crowder says there is “no concrete link” between Jackson and the shooting besides his vehicle.

Ultra Folic Acid from Vitabiotics is formulated with 400µg folic acid, carefully balanced with 5µg vitamin B12. Folic Acid, also known as folate or vitamin B9, is important before & during pregnancy and for men and women of all ages for general wellbeing.
Before and during pregnancy
The UK Department of Health recommends that women planning a baby should take a supplement containing 400µg of folic acid from the start of trying to conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy, as found in Ultra Folic Acid.
Supplemental folic acid† intake increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus.
Folic acid can also be used throughout pregnancy, as it contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Vitamin B12 has a role in the process of cell division and contributes to normal red blood cell formulation.
Folate and vitamin B12 contribute to the normal function of the immune system.

Here are the 5 iPhone apps I can’t live without
I spend the majority of my day on my iPhone, and I have the Screen Time reports to prove it. What am I doing all these hours, you ask? I try new applications, of course.
Some apps I use once and forget. Others become essential parts of my day, whether it’s working out, recovering, or controlling my smart home. I don’t know if I could call TikTok “essential,” but scrolling through my For You page is always entertaining and sometimes educational.
My favorite iPhone apps tend to change with the seasons, although there are some I couldn’t live without. You may know a few that I have listed below; if not, consider this my official recommendation to check them out. (Perhaps on your new iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro Max?) Just note that several are built into the hardware – you’ll see what I mean.
Headspace is one of the newer apps on my iPhone, although it has quickly become an important part of my day. Finding time to be mindful has never been easy for me, but the busier I am, the more I need to take care of my mental health. As one of the best relaxation apps and best sleep apps, Headspace makes meditation accessible and painless. I found it to be extremely welcoming to those with no previous meditation experience.
When I signed up for Headspace, I set myself some goals and have since benefited from guided meditation classes, as well as short daily sessions. I feel like my profile is really personalized based on my progress. Although there are free meditation apps, Headspace requires a subscription ($69.99/year) to use all features. Luckily, there’s a trial period to see how you like it first.
2. Apple Fitness Plus
My favorite app for working out right now is Apple Fitness Plus, which is integrated with the Fitness app on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. I’ve used Apple’s $9.99/month (or $79.99/year) fitness platform on and off since it launched in 2020, but found myself using it now more than ever. . The class catalog has expanded to include rowing, pilates, and audio workouts, in addition to workout collections with dedicated intentions.
I use my Apple Watch Series 8 to close my Apple Watch rings in Fitness Plus, but the service recently opened up to let those without an Apple Watch sweat it out. It’s ideal if I want to do a quick yoga practice while my Apple Watch is charging.
Download Fitness: iOS (opens in a new tab)
Speaking of clothes, my other favorite wellness app on my iPhone is Oura. The Oura app is paired with the Oura Ring Generation 3, a smart ring that tracks my sleep, activity, and recovery. The Oura Ring’s skin temperature sensor, SpO2 reader, and heart rate monitor are used to inform an extensive collection of health metrics.
The Oura app also gives me a boost to move and get ready for sleep. And unlike a traditional fitness tracker, the Oura Ring is discreet, but still lets me stay in tune with my body when I’m not wearing a smartwatch or activity band. The Oura Ring costs $299 while the full app experience costs $5.99/month.
Perhaps the number one culprit of my screen time is TikTok. The extremely addictive social media app became popular during the pandemic, but I remained a devoted user. From cute animal videos and DIY projects to recipe inspiration and travel hacks, TikTok manages to keep me entertained and teach me something new every once in a while.
That’s when I mention that I record and upload videos to TikTok daily. You can find me breaking down the latest tech announcements on Tom’s Guide TikTok account and diving deeper into products like the Apple Watch on my personal profile.
5. Amazon Alexa
When I’m not testing apps, I’m testing the best smart home devices. The way I keep all these connected products organized is to pair them with Amazon’s Alexa smart home platform. The Alexa app lets me create routines for my devices, control individual devices, and even use the best Alexa skills right from my iPhone.
The Alexa app is also handy for managing multiple residences, allowing me to keep tabs on my Alexa smart thermostat and all the other top Alexa-enabled devices in my home.

Bulk carrier JP Cosmos (IMO 9392248) was in collision with the oil products tanker Kiyosato Maru (IMO 9213181) in the Tokyo Bay southeast of Minami on the morning of May 31st. The port aft of the cargo ship which was loaded with 6220 tons of coal clashed with the bow of the tanker which was punctured above the water line. The tanker was loaded with 2000 tons of naphtha and had come from Nagoya. There was no spill. Both ships were anchored near the collision site off Yokohama.
2008-built 7,288 gt JP Cosmos is owned by Kawasaki Kinkai/JPEC and managed by Kawakin Ship Management, both of Tokyo, Japan.
1999-built, 3,491 gt Kiyosato Maru is owned by Nichiyo Kaiun/Nichiyo Marine and managed by Nichiyo Marine YK, both of Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi prefecture. http://www.asahi.com/articles/ASK503H4BK50ULOB007.html
The investigation into the collision between a CMA-CGM containership (previously reported as Centaurus (IMO:9410777)) and a quay crane at Terminal 1 in Jebel Ali, Dubai on May 4th will finish this month, DP World has told Port Technology. DP World said that the 10 people who sustained injuries when the crane collapsed onto the quay, narrowly missing an office block had all now been discharged. A second quay crane that was struck but not toppled remains out of use pending repair. A pilot with knowledge of berthing operations at the port has said elsewhere that the collision was probably the result of the ship not turning fast enough, with a manoeuvring plan being changed “half-way through” in an attempt to help a vessel outbound from the general cargo terminal.

'' this went on for about 10 minutes and she had me call the police. In those days you dialed zero and asked for the police to come. When they arrived there was no one in the house. Sometimes you could here walking in the halls too.
I drove by that house the other day, been sold for almost 4 years now - looking in the open front door you wouldn't catch me walking past the door jam. The feeling you get just walking in is overwhelming. .

I was at the apartments near Proctor and Gamble. I say two or three separate time something happen. One time I was out front of these apartments and I was living. When I turned around to leave I heard a voice say, ''leave the girl alone! '' I turned back and nothing was there.
I thought it might of been a noise or someone in a window, but I don't think so. Another time in the same place... This is what makes me believe it's all real! I saw two young girls appear out from my view holding hands and skipping.
It was almost like the were float skipping. But that's not what made me stop and think about all this. They were wearing silky nightgowns that's kind of out of the norm... They stopped and turned and looked straight forward at me for a few seconds before turning back the way they came..

Just in time for Valentine's Day, a new confectionery, Creative Cravings, is opening in Cudahy
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Cudahy is getting a “chocolate land” with a new confectionery called Creative Cravings.
The idea for the shop can be traced back to when Cassi Turner of Caledonia first started drawing on treats with edible paint for her daughter’s birthday parties.
“I consider myself creative, I can draw anything I look at,” she said.
From there, compliments started drizzling in on her displays — and how they good they tasted. Soon family and friends were asking her to create some custom confections for them. Turner decided to take a career turn and she left her job at We Energies to open the gourmet “chocolate land,” Creative Cravings, at 4770 S. Packard Ave.
“I just left my corporate nine-to-five,” she said. “I was so scared, but this is something I really love to do. It doesn’t feel like work to me.”
Creative Cravings will have a soft opening from 4-8 p.m., Feb. 4 and will follow normal business hours afterward of noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Turner said she will be open on holidays like Valentine’s Day if they fall on her normal off days.
Turner is the only decorator, but she will be working with her younger cousin at the shop and plans on training her.
What's for sale?
While there will be premade products for sale, Turner said she takes custom orders, too. A book of her past work is available to offer suggestions.
“I can literally make whatever you give me,” she said, recalling a recent order where she made mini tacos out of rice crispy treats for a fiesta party.
Prices range from $1 for pretzel rods up to $14 for a sharable cheesecake salad, which is a mix of strawberry slices, green and purple grapes and cheesecake bites covered in white chocolate drizzle. Turner will also be offering a loyalty program in which every tenth purchase earns a free cheesecake cup.
Other offerings include both caramel apples and stuffed apples, fruit cups, various other forms of cheesecake, chocolate bark and homemade lemonade.
'Premium, expensive chocolate'
Turner saw the location listed on Craigslist while searching for a space. At first, she thought it was a scam.
“It was like a too good to be true thing,” she said.
There are two parts to the building: the front end is a bakery shop and the back is a kitchen. Turner said she only uses premium chocolate, mainly Ghirardelli. The retail space is highlighted by a chocolate fountain with Belgian Sephra chocolate where customers can dip their own treats.
“It’s premium, more expensive chocolate,” Turner said. “I just want to have good quality.”
Turner also has a warehouse in the back of the building that she plans to make into a wholesale area of equipment and ingredients, as well as space for a classes on how to dip treats, for local bakers.
“A lot of people are interested to learn,” she said.
Cudahy 'needs more businesses'
Cudahy is “a community that needs more businesses,” Turner said. When she first announced she was coming to the city in a Facebook group the response was “super overwhelming.”
“I’ve had people stop at the shop in the last month every day they're asking when we’re opening,” she said.
Turner is exacting with her chocolate creation presentation and with the building which houses them. The structure sat vacant for a while and she said it needed a lot of money put into it.
“I did so much work to that building, it had to be perfect, or I’m not satisfied,” she said. “Multiple plumbers ran out with my money.”
Despite her contractors disappearing, Turner managed to get the space finished up to meet her ultimate deadline of opening by February 2022. She signed her lease in July 2021.
“That was the goal, open before Valentine’s Day,” she said, adding she was originally hoping to be open in December.
One big name in Cudahy when it comes to sweets is Jennifer Clark of Jen’s Sweet Treats, which is just down the road from Creative Cravings. Turner said before she signed her lease, she looked at Clark’s menu to make sure they didn’t sell the exact same things.
“We’ll feed off each other,” Turner said.

The U.S. Department of Energy has announced awards to two teams of industry experts to develop tools to transform the operations and maintenance of advanced nuclear reactors through the use of Artificial Intelligence-enabled digital twins using the GE Hitachi (GEH) BWRX-300 small modular reactor as a reference design.
GE Research and MIT have been awarded grants through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Generating Electricity Managed by Intelligent Nuclear Assets (GEMINA) program to lead the project teams that will develop digital twin technology for advanced nuclear reactors utilizing artificial intelligence and advanced modeling controls.
The GE Research-led team consisting of Exelon Generation, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and GEH will build a digital twin of BWRX-300 critical components and utilize artificial intelligence predictive technologies to make risk informed decisions. Exelon, which operates the largest U.S. fleet of nuclear power plants, will provide historical data based on significant experience to inform the model and targets which are aimed at reducing the operating and maintenance costs of advanced reactors.
The MIT-led team consisting of GE Research and GEH will advance and demonstrate new predictive maintenance approaches and model-based fault system detection techniques. The digital twins will address mechanical and thermal fatigue failure modes which drive operations and maintenance activities.
Abhinav Saxena, a Senior AI Scientist at GE Research and project leader on the AI-enabled predictive maintenance digital twins project, says GE has developed and deployed well over 1.2 million digital twins within an array of products and services that span the aviation, transportation and energy sectors, including in nuclear energy. He says the team is excited to expand its application in the nuclear energy sector through both projects.
Saxena noted that GE already has been piloting its Humble AI technology with wind turbines in the field and gas turbine combustion, which have both resulted in higher efficiency and energy output. The goal is to bring those same benefits, along with reduced operational and maintenance costs and more plant automation, to the nuclear sector. The Digital Twin and Humble AI technologies developed under this program will have similar impact in the nuclear sector, moving maintenance activities from time based to condition-based maintenance and paving the path towards autonomous operations.
The BWRX-300 is a 300 MWe water-cooled, natural circulation SMR with passive safety systems that leverages the design and licensing basis of GEH’s U.S. NRC-certified ESBWR. Through dramatic design simplification, GEH projects the BWRX-300 will require significantly less capital cost per MW when compared to other water-cooled SMR designs or existing large nuclear reactor designs.
By leveraging the existing ESBWR design certification, utilizing licensed and proven nuclear fuel designs, incorporating proven components and supply chains and implementing simplification innovations the BWRX-300 can, GEH believes, become cost-competitive with power generation from combined cycle gas plants and renewable energy platforms. As the tenth evolution of GE’s first Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) design, GEH’s BWRX-300 represents the simplest, yet most innovative BWR design since GE began commercializing nuclear reactors in 1955.
