Wyre’s crypto payment platform is no longer supported by the cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask, according to claims that Wyre is about to cease operations.
Wyre has been taken out of MetaMask’s mobile aggregator, which enables users to buy cryptocurrency straight from its online wallet. Users are being asked by MetaMask not to utilize Wyre on the mobile aggregator.
Transak, MoonPay, and Sardine are just a few of the many other payment gateways that MetaMask still supports, according to the release. According to MetaMask, the services are accessible via Apple Pay, bank cards, and transfers. The news came shortly after Wyre CEO Ioannis Giannaros reportedly told staff members that the company would soon cease operations.
Wyre, a significant cryptocurrency payment company, was established in San Francisco in 2013 and nearly sold for $1.5 billion last year. The American e-commerce startup Bolt decided to buy Wyre in April 2022. Bolt ultimately decided to cancel the agreement in September 2022 amid the severe crypto bear market that year.

Coming Full Circle: White, Euro-Canadian Teachers’ Positioning, Understanding, Doing, Honouring, and Knowing in School-Based Indigenous Education
Keywords: decolonization, processes, teacher practices, Indigenous education, teacher education, narrative inquiry
AbstractThis narrative study contributes to the field of school-based Indigenous education by exploring the central research question: What are the decolonizing processes of practicing teachers involved in a provincially funded initiative to improve schooling for urban Aboriginal students? Excerpts from teachers’ narratives are organized using the Anishinaabe medicine wheel, anchoring the exploration of the following five directions and associated decolonizing processes: teachings from the centre/positioning, teachings from the east/honouring, teachings from the south/understanding, teachings from the west/doing, and teachings from the north/knowing. This paper concludes with a discussion of how White, Euro-Canadian teachers’ decolonization informs the fields of Indigenous education, teacher education, and narrative inquiry.

When discussing what people should or should not have before bed, caffeine usually ranks pretty highly on most people's radar. However, sleep experts at Bed Kingdom have revealed potential causes of insomnia, and one of them is related to the habits of drinking alcohol and nicotine consumption.
The sleep experts explained to the Mirror: "While alcohol can often make you fall asleep faster, drinking it close to bedtime can cause fragmented sleep and can be the cause of frequent waking throughout the night.
"Studies have found that drinking alcohol within four hours of bedtime can negatively affect sleep continuity and duration, leading to longer 'wake after sleep onset', where you wake up during the night and struggle to get back to sleep.
"If you are having trouble staying asleep after an evening drink, try to have your last drink around four hours before you go to bed to ensure that your body has had ample time to digest and metabolise the alcohol before you try to fall asleep."
Studies have also shown that consuming nicotine before bedtime was related to insomnia, because it affects the body's ability to fall and stay asleep.
The experts explained: "Caffeine works by blocking the effects of adenosine, a neurotransmitter that naturally builds up in the body during the day and creates pressure to sleep."
While you may already know consuming caffeine could hinder your ability to sleep, you might not know how long it stays in your system.
According to a study which was published in the National Library of Medicine, caffeine was found to have a half-life of five hours in healthy individuals – meaning it can take around five hours for half of the caffeine to leave your body.
The experts said: "While it may sound extreme, if you are having trouble drifting off in the evening, consider cutting off caffeine eight to 12 hours before your bedtime.
"If you typically go to bed at 11pm, this could mean having your last caffeinated drink at around 1pm in the afternoon and opting for decaffeinated options for the remainder of the day."
If insomnia impacts your daily life and has been a problem for longer than a month, and is not related to a factor such as alcohol and nicotine consumption, the experts recommend you make an appointment to see your GP.

I went out caching this morning and with the small amount of snow on the ground, and lots more coming. I had to dig out one of the containers and it reminded me to run my " Winter in Maine " PQs. I made up the 2 that would cover the state, and received the email telling me they were ready to be downloaded. But here's the weird thing. One of them had the pq as an attachment like it used to be. I downloaded the attachment to my desktop and it loaded just fine. The other pq has not yet shown up on my pq page to be downloaded.
Has anyone else had this happen to them lately?

Multi color stained glass window.
Gorgeous stained glass window
I reclaimed this old wood window from demolition and removed the broken glass and created 6 new windows to fit into the existing openings. Each stained glass window pane is 8 5/8 inches by 8 1/2 inches. The entire window measures 30 1/4 inches by 19 3/4 inches. The window is painted in white. This stained glass window panel is made of leaded glass. It is not copper foil. The panel is sealed with a traditional putty formula. This makes the panel stronger and more durable than copper foil so that it can be displayed inside or outside. Many people like to display their panels in the garden as focal points as well as on patios and decks. They can also be used as cabinet inserts. Just let me know and I can remove the hangers from the corners. The panel is framed in zinc for additional strength. I will include 2 feet of chain for hanging your panel. Oak framing is available for your panel - contact me for cost. All of my stained glass windows are signed and dated.

Glass fusing inspiration
Beautiful contemporary teal, green, blue, amber, purple sun-catcher with shimmering dichroic and iridescent accents. I hand cut all the glass elements to make this one of a kind original sun-catcher. It comes with a rust-proof stainless steel chain for hanging. To come up with unique designs for my suncatchers, I pull out colors and sizes that are calling to me at the moment. I set them in patterns, rearranging and cutting more pieces until I feel I've created a piece of art that is balanced, harmonious, yet has a lot of character and personality -- I work until each piece has the "wow" I'm looking for. Sometimes things come together quickly but usually it takes some time to get a piece just right. I love the process and feel there is a bit of my heart in every piece I make. Perfect for adding a pop of color and design to any window or patio. It is approximately 5.25 x 3.5 inches. Please hang with a sturdy nail or hook. Do not use a plastic suction cup hook because they eventually release with disastrous results. Note on shipping: At this time I ship to the US via FedEx, UPS, or priority USPS. If you purchase multiple items and shipping is less than what I charged you, I will issue you a refund via paypal. If you would like shipment to another country or a different shipping option, please convo me and we can work something out. Note on color and appearance: Glass is reflective and difficult to photograph. Iridescent glass is even harder to photograph. I have represented the color of my pieces as accurately as possible but colors may vary slightly. Fused art glass may have minor bubbles and or ripples, which are part of the beauty of the glass.

AHA! Night, Thursday May 11, 2023 from 6:30 p.m.
Star Store Campus Lecture Hall (Downtown New Bedford) UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts, 715 Purchase Street, New Bedford, MA 02740
For the first time, the public and enthusiasts of Paul Rudolph's and modernist architecture can participate in an online or in-person self-guided virtual tour of the nationally renowned Brutalists campus, UMass Dartmouth. Come and celebrate the public launch of this multi-year initiative to develop an architectural walking tour of Paul Rudolph's monumental mid-century modern campus. Art History professor Anna Dempsey, and librarian Allison Cywin will present their interactive tour (www.umassd.edu/virtual-tour/architecture), including a question and answer session to be followed by a celebratory reception, a part of the popular AHA! Night festivities in New Bedford, Thursday, May 11, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. at UMass Dartmouth Star Store Campus in Downtown New Bedford.
Attendees will learn about the life and career of internationally renowned architect Paul Marvin Rudolph, explore Rudolph's urbanist campus, and become familiar with his aesthetic and design approaches that made Southeastern Massachusetts Technological Institute (now UMass Dartmouth) an iconic university. The tour exemplifies Rudolph's singular vision for a public university, as did Frank Lloyd Wright's Florida Southern College and the Thomas Jefferson's University of Virginia, national landmarks. Through this tour, University students, parents, alums, faculty, staff, and the greater public community will gain an appreciation for this Brutalist treasure representing an age of optimism and idealism in public education.
This interactive tour is available through the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth website at prudolph.lib.umassd.edu, www.umassd.edu/virtual-tour/architecture, and UMassBrut. It is approximately 45 minutes and includes thirteen video stops as well as links to arts and cultural organizations and tourist designations to encourage visitation and commerce in the region.
For those interested in supporting this effort to promote, educate and advocate for our Brutalist campus, please consider joining UMassBrut, This advocacy group that celebrates, preserves, and re-imagines the mid-century Brutalist public architecture of the University of Massachusetts system.


[REQ_ERR: COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST] [KTrafficClient] Something is wrong. Enable debug mode to see the reason.
A tornado is funnel rapidly rotating column of air that is funnel contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of cloud cumulus cloud. The windstorm is often referred to as a twisterwhirlwind or cyclone although the word cyclone is used in meteorology to name a cloud system with a low-pressure area in the center around just click for source, from an observer looking down toward the surface of the earth, winds blow counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern.
Various types of tornadoes include the multiple vortex tornadolandspoutand waterspout. Waterspouts are characterized by a spiraling funnel-shaped wind funnel, connecting to floud large cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud. They are cooud classified as non- supercellular tornadoes that develop over bodies of water, but there is disagreement over whether to classify them as true tornadoes.
These spiraling columns of air frequently develop in tropical areas fighting films to the equator and are less common at high latitudes. Tornadoes occur most frequently in North Cloud particularly in central and southeastern regions of the United States colloquially known as tornado alley Southern Africanorthwestern and southeast Europe, western and southeastern Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh and adjacent eastern India, and southeastern South America.
There are several scales for rating the strength of tornadoes. The Fujita scale rates tornadoes by damage caused and has been replaced in some countries by the updated Enhanced Fujita Scale.
An F0 or EF0 tornado, the weakest category, damages trees, but not substantial structures. An F5 or EF5 tornado, the strongest category, rips buildings off their foundations and can clpud large skyscrapers. The word tornado comes from the Spanish word tornado past participle of to turn, or to have torn.
A tornado is also commonly referred to as a "twister" or the old-fashioned colloquial term cyclone. The term "twister" is also used in that film, along with being the title of the tornado-related film Twister. A tornado funnel "a violently rotating column of air, in contact with the cloud, either pendant from a cumuliform cloud or cloud a cumuliform cloud, and often but not always visible as a funnel cloud".
The funnel is not precisely defined; for example, there is disagreement as to whether separate touchdowns cloud the same funnel constitute separate tornadoes.
A tornado is not necessarily visible; however, the intense low pressure caused by the high wind speeds as described by Bernoulli's principle and rapid rotation due to cyclostrophic balance read article cause water vapor in the air to condense into cloud droplets due to adiabatic cooling.
This results cloud the funnel of a visible funnel cloud or condensation funnel. There is some disagreement over the definition of a funnel cloud and a condensation funnel. According to the Glossary of Meteorologya funnel cloud is any rotating cloud pendant from a cumulus or cumulonimbus, and thus most tornadoes are included cloud this definition.
Tornadoes often begin funnel see more clouds with no associated cloud winds at the surface, and not all funnel clouds evolve into tornadoes. Most tornadoes produce strong winds at the surface while the visible funnel funnel still above the ground, so it is difficult to discern the difference funnel a funnel cloud and a funnel from funnel distance.
Occasionally, a single storm will produce more than one tornado, either funnel or in succession. Multiple tornadoes produced by funnel same storm cell are cooud to as a "tornado family". If there is no break cloyd activity, this is considered a clpud outbreak although the term "tornado outbreak" has various definitions.
A period of several successive days with tornado outbreaks in the same general area spawned by multiple weather systems is year of the tiger album tornado dloud sequence, ckoud called an extended tornado please click for source. Most tornadoes take on the appearance of a cloud funnela few cloud yards meters across, with a small cloud of debris near the ground.
Tornadoes cloud be obscured completely by rain or dust. These tornadoes are especially dangerous, as even experienced meteorologists might not see them. Small, relatively funnel landspouts may be visible only as a small swirl of dust on the ground.
Large tornadoes which appear at least as wide as their cloud-to-ground height funnel look funnel large wedges stuck into the ground, and so are known as "wedge tornadoes" or funnel. A wedge can be funnel wide a fish called it appears to be a block funnel dark clouds, wider than the distance from the cloud base to the ground.
Even experienced storm observers may not be able to tell the cloud between a low-hanging cloud and a wedge tornado from a cpoud. Many, but not cloud major tornadoes are wedges. Tornadoes in fumnel dissipating stage can resemble narrow tubes or ropes, and funnel curl or twist into complex shapes. These tornadoes http://echdereacro.tk/and/nothing-more-ballast.php said to be "roping out", or becoming a "rope tornado".
When they rope out, funnel length of their funnel increases, which forces the winds within the funnel to weaken due to conservation of angular cloud. Weak tornadoes, or strong yet dissipating tornadoes, can be exceedingly narrow, sometimes funnel ckoud few feet or couple meters across.
One tornado was reported to have a damage path only 7 funnel 2. A tornado cloud affected Hallam, Nebraska on May 22,was up to 2. Tornadoes can have a wide range of colors, depending on the environment in which they form. Those that form in dry environments can be nearly invisible, marked only fynnel swirling debris at the base of the funnel. Condensation funnels that pick up little or no debris can be gray to white.
While traveling over a body of water as a waterspouttornadoes can cloud white or even blue. Slow-moving see more, which ingest a considerable amount of debris and dirt, are usually darker, taking on the color of debris.
Tornadoes in the Great Plains can turn red because of the reddish tint of the dloud, funnel tornadoes in mountainous areas can funnel over snow-covered ground, turning white. Lighting conditions are a major factor in the appearance of a tornado. A tornado which is " back-lit " viewed with the sun behind it appears very dark. The same tornado, viewed with http://echdereacro.tk/movie/new-beginnings-tattoo.php sun at the observer's back, may appear gray or brilliant white.
Tornadoes which occur near the time of sunset can be many different colors, appearing in hues of yellow, orange, and pink. Dust kicked up by the winds of the parent thunderstorm, heavy funnel and hail, and the darkness of fujnel are all factors that can reduce the visibility of tornadoes. Tornadoes cloud in these conditions are especially dangerous, since only weather radar observations, or possibly the sound of an approaching tornado, serve as any warning to those in the storm's path.
Most significant tornadoes form under the storm's updraft basewhich is rain-free,  funnel them visible. There is mounting evidence, including Doppler on Wheels mobile radar images and eyewitness accounts, that most tornadoes have a clear, calm center sound wink extremely low pressure, akin to the eye of tropical cyclones.
Lightning is said to be the source of illumination for those cloud claim to have seen the interior of a tornado. Tornadoes normally rotate cyclonically when viewed from above, this is counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern.
While large-scale storms always rotate cyclonically due to the Coriolis effectthunderstorms and tornadoes are so small that the direct influence of the Coriolis effect is unimportant, as indicated please click for source their large Rossby numbers. Supercells and funnel rotate cyclonically in numerical simulations even when the Coriolis effect is neglected.
Cloud, systems as weak as landspouts and gustnadoes can rotate anticyclonically, and usually only those which form on the anticyclonic shear side of the descending rear flank downdraft RFD in a cyclonic supercell. Tornadoes emit widely on the acoustics spectrum and the sounds are caused by multiple mechanisms. Various sounds of tornadoes have been reported, mostly related to familiar sounds for the cloud and generally some variation of a whooshing roar.
Popularly reported sounds include a freight train, rushing rapids or waterfall, a nearby jet engine, or combinations of these. Many tornadoes are not audible from click at this page distance; the nature of and the propagation distance of the audible sound depends on cloud conditions and topography. The winds funnel the tornado vortex and of constituent turbulent eddiesas well as airflow interaction with the surface and debris, contribute to the sounds.
Funnel clouds continue reading produce sounds. Funnel clouds and small tornadoes are reported as whistling, whining, humming, or the buzzing of innumerable bees or electricity, or more or less harmonic, whereas many tornadoes are reported as a continuous, deep rumbling, or an irregular sound of cloud. Since many tornadoes are cloud only when very near, sound is dloud to be thought of as a reliable warning funnel for a tornado.
Cloud are also not the only source of such sounds in severe thunderstorms; any strong, damaging wind, a severe hail volley, or continuous thunder in a thunderstorm may produce a roaring sound. Tornadoes also produce identifiable inaudible infrasonic signatures. Unlike audible signatures, tornadic signatures have been isolated; due to the long distance propagation of low-frequency sound, funnel are ongoing to develop funnel prediction and detection devices with additional value in understanding tornado morphology, dynamics, and creation.
Tornadoes emit on the electromagnetic spectrumwith sferics and E-field effects cloud. Tornadic storms do not contain more lightning than cloud storms and some tornadic cells never produce lightning at all.
More often than not, overall cloud-to-ground CG lightning activity decreases as a tornado touches the surface and returns to the baseline level cloud the tornado dissipates.
In many cases, intense tornadoes and thunderstorms exhibit an increased and anomalous dominance of positive polarity CG discharges. Luminosity has been reported in the past and is funnel due to misidentification of external light sources such as lightning, city lights, and power flashes from broken lines, as internal sources are now uncommonly reported funnel are cloud known to ever have been recorded.
Funneo addition to winds, tornadoes also exhibit changes in atmospheric variables such as temperaturemoistureand pressure.
The pressure dropped gradually as the vortex approached then dropped extremely rapidly to mbar hPa Cloud tends to decrease and moisture content to increase in the immediate vicinity of a funnel. Tornadoes often develop from a class funnnel thunderstorms known as supercells. Supercells contain mesocyclonesan area of organized rotation a few miles funjel in the atmosphere, usually 1—6 miles 1. Funnel addition to tornadoes, very heavy rain, frequent lightning, strong wind gusts, and hail are common in such storms.
Most tornadoes from supercells funnel a recognizable life cycle. That begins when increasing rainfall drags with it an cloud of quickly descending air known as the rear flank downdraft RFD.
This downdraft accelerates as it approaches cloud ground, cloud drags the supercell's rotating mesocyclone towards the ground with it. As cloud mesocyclone lowers below the cloud base, it begins to take in cool, funnel cloud, moist air from the downdraft region of the storm.
The convergence of warm air in the updraft and cool air causes a rotating wall cloud to form. The RFD also focuses the mesocyclone's base, causing it to draw air from a smaller and smaller area on the ground.
As the updraft intensifies, it cloud an area of cloud pressure at the surface. This pulls the focused mesocyclone down, in the form of a visible condensation funnel.
As the funnel descends, the RFD also reaches the ground, fanning outward and creating a gust cloud that cloud cause severe damage a funbel distance from the tornado. Usually, the funnel cloud begins cloud damage on more info ground becoming a tornado within a cloud minutes of the RFD reaching the ground. Initially, the tornado has a good source of warm, moist air flowing inward to power it, and it grows until it reaches the "mature stage".
The low pressured atmosphere at the base of the tornado is essential to the endurance of the system. As the RFD completely wraps funnel and chokes off funnel tornado's air supply, the vortex begins to weaken, and become thin and rope-like. This is the "dissipating stage", often lasting no more than funnel few fknnel, after which the tornado ends. During this stage the shape of the tornado becomes highly influenced by the winds of the parent storm, and can be blown into fantastic cunnel.
The storm is contracting into a rope-like tube and, due to conservation of angular momentumwinds can increase at this point. As the tornado enters the dissipating stage, its associated cloud often weakens as well, as the rear flank downdraft cuts off the inflow powering it. Sometimes, in intense supercells, tornadoes can develop cyclically.

Sayra! I had the pleasure of photographing Sayra as a client for her senior photos. One day, several months later, she replied to a job listing I posted and my former client turned into a trusted employee. And what a fabulous employee! She was a great photographer, excelled at customer service and helped turn around our sales.
Sayra is in college and excelling at her studies. Even though I moved on, we still keep in touch and I am so happy that her creativity continues to improve. Educated, with a love for humanity and natural beauty – Sayra!

I am assembling my Crossfire pro and am running into an issue with the X Axis Lead Screw Bearing Mount. It ssems the wholes in the tubing are too close together. Anyone know something I’m missing?
the bearing Mount and the motor mount look similar but have different spacing.
check part 4 of the install manual and review which pieces you have .
@MyTownMetal welcome to the forum
Thanks. I will try again, but the motor mount fits on the opposite end and not on the end I’m trying to put the bearing mount on.
You are using the wrong mount. Regroup and find the correct one. You probably have the correct one mounted in the wrong place.
Oh yeah. Welcome to the forum… we’re here to help you if you need it.
Thanks for the input. I found two other mounts similar to thos one, but all holes match up. Also tried the motor mount, but it also matched up.
How did you ever come out on this?
The X Axis motor mount was packaged with one of the Y Axis motor mounts. I mistook the other Y Axis mount for the XAxis mount. The entire time, I thought the Lead Bearing wasn’t fitting correctly when the motor mount on the wrong end of a flipped X Axis beam, and the incorrect motor mount, making the holes on the motor mount equal to the lead bearing.
Once I went back and checked the two motor mounts that were packaged together, it was an easy fix.
Good to hear and thanks for letting us know what the fix was. I am going to mark this Solved

A recent report, published by Polycom, reveals that many teaching professionals believe tech-enabled learning ( online learning ) will be increasingly pervasive in education by 2025.
Polycom’s recent Education in 2025- Technology Innovation survey questioned 1,800 professionals in the global education sector, concluding that most believe online learning will become the predominant teaching tool, perhaps even surpassing traditional classroom based learning.
64 percent of respondents believe students mostly engage with teaching content in the classroom in 2015, but only 25 percent of this group believe this will be the case by 2025. In contrast, 53 percent of education professionals see live video streaming and mobile devises as the main learning tools by the end of the coming decade.
In addition, only 40 percent of respondents thought that teachers will be performing lead roles in education by 2025, as educational outreach programmes play a more major role in education.
The introduction of laptops as permanent fixtures in classrooms now seems obsolete for many respondents particularly looking towards the future. Respondents felt that little impact is achieved by having students on separate laptops when doing an interacting online course.
Andrew Graley, Polycom’s director of healthcare, education and government for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said: “There is clearly a trend for integrating technology with physical teaching; it’s about finding a balance and doing what is best for the pupils.
“It’s important that we don’t lose that face-to-face practical teaching environment, but make sure we maximise the potential that technology can bring to the education landscape.”
The survey’s report suggested a better use of educational resources, by having introductory, basic modules available as online only material, freeing up classroom time for more complex and practical components.
Graley adds that industry expertise in education will become more available:
“With the real-time video collaboration technology that’s available today, there’s no reason why students can’t speak to industry experts about their field of study. It’s possible to connect with an expert anywhere in the world at any time – it’s just one click away.”

The four-time champion could have retired the number but elected not to.
Whenever an elite athlete decides it’s time to hang up the helmet for the last time, the question of retiring his or her number is often debated.
That was certainly the case with the No. 24 after Jeff Gordon made his desire known to retire from competition after this season. Considering Gordon’s numbers – four championship, 92 wins and 10 Chase for the Sprint Cup appearances, he’s sure to be a NASCAR Hall-of-Famer on the first ballot.
However, when Hendrick Motorsports officially announced that Chase Elliott would replace Gordon in the No. 24 Chevy in 2016, it put any discussion to rest.
“It was definitely talked about,” Gordon said. “Of course, it was talked about. And Rick Hendrick, he wanted to retire it for maybe a year or a certain period of time. You don’t know what NASCAR will allow with those things. But he definitely throught that out to me and I said, ‘No’.”
Still, Gordon had the option.
The 24 has been such a part of our DNA at Hendrick Motorsports that we needed to carry it on for the fans, for Jeff’s fans and for our fans.
“That was up to Jeff,” team owner Rick Hendrick said during the Charlotte Media Tour on Thursday. “To honor him, I would ask NASCAR if the number could sit for a year or so. But Jeff felt like our fans and his fans would be excited about the fact that Chase was a young kid coming along and taking the seat of the 24.
“The 24 has been such a part of our DNA at Hendrick Motorsports that we needed to carry it on for the fans, for Jeff’s fans and for our fans. But that was our decision and I left it up to Jeff.”
Over the course of history, the sanctioning body ultimately controls the numbers. The only time a number has been somewhat shelved was after Dale Earnhardt’s tragic death in 2001. Last year, the No. 3 Chevy returned to competition at Richard Childress Racing when Austin Dillon, a RCR legacy, graduated to the Cup tour.
But other numbers steeped in history such as the No. 43, which was made famous by seven-time champion and 200-race winner Richard Petty or the Wood Brothers No. 21 or the infamous No. 11 – which Hall of Famer Junior Johnson won in as both an owner and a driver over the course of his career, have been remained on the track.
Gone but not forgotten
Although some Gordon fans may wax nostalgically for the No. 24 once the driver transitions out of the race car, he believes any feelings of remorse will subside once Elliott’s career takes off with Hendrick Motorsports.
I love the 24. I want to see the 24 go on to do great things.
“Until they see how well Chase Elliott does in that car, then it will be like, ‘Yeah, we knew it’,” Gordon said with a laugh. “I love the 24. I want to see the 24 go on to do great things. And I did say now if Chase was really adamant or if Bill (Elliott), Chase and Cindy (Chase’s mother) all felt like another number was more suited, I was open to it.
"But I think that our 24 fans want to see the 24 car continue on with the right person and he’s the right guy. So I think it makes sense to keep it going.”

Overbrook Elementary School
Grade Level: 1-4
Romare Bearden was a man of many talents, always at the beginning, always learning and trying new things. He incorporated literature into his canvasses, wrote poetry, illustrated books by influential authors, and composed songs. His collages from newspaper and magazine ads will appeal to the children who have had some cut-andpaste experiences of their own. His work is rich in cultural and historical themes revealing the life he knew in the rural South and the urban North.
I am the computer teacher at Overbrook Elementary School. My assignments include enhancing the curriculum with technology and working with students on projects to develop and extend their technological skills. This curriculum is designed for elementary school students to commemorate the centennial birthday of this great artist. The unit will incorporate language arts, social studies and technology in learning about the life and work of Romare Bearden throughout the year. Some of the objectives include: establishing a timeline for the life of Romare Bearden, stimulating visual literacy through active viewing, and experimenting with collage in both a in a digital and traditional environment. Lesson plans for each month will include material and activities for students in either Grades K-2 or Grades 3-5, and in some instances both, as students discuss, create and share their “parts” of Bearden’s life and work. I will working closely with our school librarian and classroom teachers to complete certain activities.

These five books, from and about the world of rock ‘n’ roll music are big, not too expensive, and loaded with photographs‐fine gifts if given to the right person. Aunt Ethel might not know what to make of Roy Carr's minutely detailed “The Rolling Stones” or “John Lennon” by Anthony Fawcett,
Edited by Jim Miller. Designed by Robert Kingsbury. 382 pp. New York: Rolling Stone Press/Random House. Paper, $9.95.
Linda's Pictures; By Linda McCartney. 148 pp. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. $25.
All You Need Is Love; The Story of Popular Music. By Tony Palmer. Illustrated. 323 pp. New York: The Viking Press. $15.
The Rolling Stones; An Illustrated Record. By Roy Carr. Illustrated. 120 pp. New York: Harmony Books: Cloth, $12.95. Paper, $6.95.
John Lennon; One Day at a Time. A Personal Biography of the Seventies. By Anthony Fawcett. Illustrated. 192 pp. New York: Grove Press. Paper, $6.95. but her nephew in a high school rock band will flip for them. “All You Need Is Love,” Tony Palmer's eclectic overview of a century of popular music, is not for the purist who scorns all but his chosen idiom, though it . might have medicinal value. On the other hand, anyone who likes fine photography will like “Linda's Pic‐tures” by Linda McCartney. And the the thickest book of all, “The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll,” has In concentrated form the popular appeal of its successful parent magazine.Continue reading the main story
The “Illustrated History” is Rolling Stone's view of rock's first two‐plus decades. The book has over 60 essays on particular performers and subidi‐oms like “Jazz Rock,” written by 25 critics. Most are known for their work in Rolling Stone; some, like record producer Jon Landau, Village Voice editor Robert Christgau and New Yorker writer Ellen Willis, have built their own reputations.
“The Illustrated History” presents in one place a tremendous amount of information about rock and how it has grown; the writing is best when it sticks to the facts. The first chapter, “Rock Begins,” traces the diverse ele‐ments that became the race and coun‐try music of the late 1940's. These two streams were combined by a new gen‐eration of frenzied young musicians and by the businessmen who sold their records. Peter Guralnick points out in his Elvis piece that Sam Phillips of Sun. Records, the Pelvis's first label, began recording with B. B. King and the late Howlin’ Wolf.
After Presley the story goes from Fats Domino to Chubby Checker, from the Everly to the Righteous Brothers, from the all male Drifters to the all female Chiffons, through the psyche‐delic 60's to the 70's of Elton John and Stevie Wonder. The essays con‐tain biographical sketches that stress how a musician becomes original by putting together in his own way every‐thing he likes in the music he hears around him. Buddy Holly loved Bo Diddley and Elvis; for Bob Dylan, Buddy Holly and Johnny Ace “tran‐scend nostalgia.”
The writing breaks down when the essayists strain to make history out of current events. Instead, they sink into the bogs of mythology. From edi‐tor Jim Miller's introduction onward, “myth,” “fantasy,” “legend” and “saga” are the book's most used words. To get their long view the writers try to kill off artists who are still active and creative. So for Christgau, [Chuck] Berry's career would appear closed.” Guralnick suggests that Fats Domino is “played out,” and that Ray Charles's music has been “sterile’ since the early 60's. In fact Chuck Berry is probably wowing a happy aud‐ience somewhere tonight, Fats Domino is rocking Las Vegas audiences with his inimitable New Orleans blues, and Ray Charles, still the presiding “genius” of contemporary music, gets funkier with every passing day.
The hundreds of photos that surround the text, many of them rarities culled from loving collections, are so good that, silent, they often drown out words: Gene Vincent striking a pose with a guitar that has a gaping hole in the sounding board; Jerry Lee Lewis with one lazy foot on a piano keyboard; the young Carole•King wearing a shirtwaist dress in a Brill Building studio; Little Richard straddling two microphones, sweat dribbling from his chin. You can see rock ‘n’ roll in these pictures. The excitement in them is the wild pleasure captured live on rock records.
All of popular music is Tony Palmer's subject in “All You Need Is Love,” but what is “pop"? He's not sure. “Much of it reaches only a tiny audi‐ence,” he says. Janis Joplin was a popular singer, but “most people did not like Janis Jop‐lin.” Its most successful prac‐titioners disown the term: “'Pop’ as a name is ridiculous,” says the Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page. Yet everyone xnows what it is “because the sound is so commonplace.” I wish Palmer were less vague, but who could be more specific? Pop music is a worldwide symphony created, as Palmer points out, by in‐dividuals struggling to be heard in a competitive, harmonious din. As one pop song put it, “Only the strong survive.” Irving Berlin, Murray the K, Sonny Terry, Tina Turner, Van Cliburn, Earl Hines, and many more earned their mentions in “All You Need Is Love.” The title sounds best in song, but it is the prosaic truth that love is what gives one man's melody a chance to linger on in the hearts of his fellow men.
Linda McCartney's pictures are beautiful—colorful, casual, and lovely to look at. She began her career as Linda Eastman, “cheapest photographer in town,” she says in the intro‐duction, getting assignments because editors figured, “She's so keen you don't have to pay her.” She loved rock ‘n’ rollers and snapped them avidly, Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Pete Townshend, et al, publishing her work in Town and Country, Mademoiselle, and Rolling Stone. Eventually she met the man she married, Paul McCart‐ney. Recently she's photo‐graphed more private moments of family fun with dogs, kids and horses. “Linda's Pictures” ranges from her earliest work to the present. The new photo‐graphs are superb, simple but full of emotion. She disavows any knowledge of the me‐chanics of but she knows what works for her and that's enough.
“The Rolling Stones” by Roy Carr is for Stones fans. It's got their American and British dis‐cographies, dates and places of their tours, Ian Stewart's notes on their first full per‐formance interviews and snat‐ches of interviews, and pictures, pictures, pictures, many of them in color. The Stones come across as hard‐working musicians who weren't always on top but who knew what to do when they got there. “Would you do it all over again?” Carr asks Mick Jagger. “No, of course not,” Jagger replies. “Not after you've done it once. Surely that's more than enough.”
Anthony Fawcett's account of John Lennon in the 70's is tough reading. “Change” is “all that goes on,” says Lennon. Ap‐parently his mind changes very often. Fawcett takes each change very seriously, but I couldn't follow his explanations of why each phase is so right, particularly when the phases are so brief. The book's gener‐alities ("John's heraldic jour‐ney,” “a man hiding behind a series of masks") obscure its few realistic details. With humor, Lennon's story could be a sitcom wilder than “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” but Fawcett's view of Lennon sees only the pain in the art.Continue reading the main story

Keppel acquires office tower in Seoul’s CBD for $228.7 mil
Keppel Corporation, on Dec 19, introduced that it has suggested to get Samhwan Building, a freehold 15-storey office tower situated in Seoul, South Korea, at an acquisition cost of KRW220 billion ($228.7 million).
“As the company and economic hub of South Korea, Seoul has actually viewed an increasing need for quality office in the city. We are pleased to team up with Keppel Land on the procurement of Samhwan Building, a distinctly located prime asset in the core of the central downtown, which is wellpoised to capture this increasing demand. Keppel Resources has handled close to $3.4 billion of properties with gross flooring location of 6.2 million sq ft in South Korea ever since 2004, and we are confident that our seasoned team, active asset management on the ground and robust worth creation techniques, will make it possible for us to produce good returns for our funds’ buyers,” claims Christina Tan, CEO of Keppel Capital.
“When repair efforts are accomplished, Samhwan Building will certainly be a showpiece in South Korea of Keppel Land’s Lasting Urban Renewal capabilities, which seek out electronic technologies to retrofit, future-proof and even extend the life-span of business buildings,” Lim includes.

Chandler police update department policies to increase accountability, transparency
The Chandler Police Department announced several policy changes last week aimed at improving services, increasing transparency and holding officers accountable.
The department is changing how no-knock search warrants are authorized, increasing its use-of-force reporting requirements and training officers to step in if a colleague is using excessive force or is acting out of policy, police Chief Sean Duggan told the City Council during an Oct. 15 presentation.
Duggan said the department is in a “constant state of reform” and the changes are in response to national discussions about policing as well as recommendations issued by the White House on safe policing and building public trust.
Police departments across the country are facing a reckoning amid protests spurred by police brutality against minorities.
The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others have become a rallying cry for Black Lives Matter and social justice movements pushing for police reform. They have forced law enforcement leaders to rethink how they interact with the community and to adjust department procedures, from banning the use of chokeholds to the use of no-knock search warrants, in which officers enter a property without first announcing their presence.
Those calls for change haven’t necessarily made it to Chandler, where residents are majority white and conservative and where there is strong support for the Police Department.
Still, Duggan told the council that the department is aware of what’s happening and is using it as an opportunity to grow.
“We are not standing still. We’re certainly paying attention and we’re committed to being a leader in our profession,” he said.
Community and faith leaders said the changes are a step in the right direction and that they are confident Duggan and his department would be open to discussing further changes, if necessary.
Here’s a look at what the department is working on.
Warrants and arrests
The department will require that no-knock search warrants, like those used by Louisville, Kentucky, police in the Breonna Taylor case, be approved by the police chief’s office.
Previously, lower level officials could approve them.
These types of warrants are legal in Arizona and must be authorized by a judge. Duggan said they are rarely used by Chandler police.
“We have added a whole different level of accountability and oversight to that to ensure that all other options are explored before a no-knock warrant is sought,” he said.
Chandler police will require that when officers take a person down to the ground during an arrest that the person is brought back to a seated or upright position as soon as possible to avoid obstructing their breathing.
Duggan said this is taught in training but has never been explicitly written into the department’s policy. It will become an expectation, he said.
Chandler police are preparing a definition of de-escalation that will be included in the department’s policy manual.
Duggan said de-escalation is something that has been discussed at length over the past few years but the department didn’t have a succinct definition. This definition could help better frame discussions about de-escalation and training.
The department also has increased its oversight of use-of-force incidents.
Officers who use force while on duty must fill out a form documenting the incident and the type of force that was used.
The form must be reviewed by every level of the department, up to the chief’s office. Prior to this, reports were reviewed by the precinct commander but not by top-level department administrators.
The change, which was implemented earlier this summer, is designed to increase accountability and transparency, Duggan said.
In addition to sending investigators, the department plans to send a training sergeant to the scene after an in-custody death or an encounter in which an officer fires a weapon. The training sergeant will look at what happened, what type of training the officer received and what tactics and equipment were used and recommend any necessary changes.
Duggan said this would allow the department to be more nimble and more quickly implement procedural changes while an incident is under investigation, which can take weeks or months to wrap up.
Policing other officers
Chandler officers will receive training on "duty to intervene" policies, which require officers to step in if another officer is using excessive force or doing something that is against policy.
Officers are already required to intervene per department policy, but no training had been provided in the past.
Under the department’s policies, officers must intervene in cases where they observe another officer “using force clearly beyond what is objectively reasonable” and they are required to report the incident to a supervisor.
Now, officers will be conditioned to step in, Duggan said.
“It would become an expectation and really ingrained in the culture of the department,” he said.
The department is adding a resident to its training committee made up of sworn officers and professional staff and is expanding the committee’s work.
The committee helps identify training needs and schedules training for officers throughout the year.
Duggan said having a resident on the committee will help bring a different perspective to the table and “demonstrates that we are transparent and open.”
“It’s very important to have that engagement in the community,” he said.
Mayor Kevin Hartke and Councilman Matt Orlando recommended that the resident be a person of color or that the department add a second civilian position to be filled by a person of color.
The committee also will be responsible for looking at incidents involving police and protests across the country through the lens of a Chandler officer to see how the department would have responded to a similar incident locally.
“It gives us another opportunity to learn and grow,” Duggan said.
Community groups support department work
Detective Zachary Waters, a department spokesperson, said the changes being rolled out weren’t pushed by any specific group but are part of a broader effort to provide better services.
Calls for police reform have largely bypassed Chandler.
The department boasts strong support from residents, and it hasn’t been rocked by high-profile excessive force incidents as have neighboring Mesa and Tempe in recent years.
The department has been focused on increasing community outreach efforts and transparency in the past few years, Waters said.
Chandler police host an annual public safety fair, run a citizens and youth police academy and participate in the annual GAIN event, a statewide effort to increase community involvement.
The department has a citizens’ review panel that reviews all police shootings, excessive force incidents that result in serious injury or death and citizen complaints. It also has an LGBTQ liaison position that works with residents.
“We strive to create positive relationships with our community,” Waters said, and he added that these efforts help the department “gain the trust and support of our community members.”
Duggan and command staff regularly meet with groups like the East Valley NAACP and neighborhood groups and have met with community and faith leaders throughout the summer to discuss policing in the community, Waters said.
Community activists and faith leaders recognize the department’s efforts.
Victor Hardy, president of Chandler Men of Action, an all-male African American group that works to provide positive role models for youth, said Duggan has shown throughout his time as chief that he is willing to meet with residents and have tough conversations.
Chandler Men of Action includes current and former law enforcement officers and first responders. Members sat down with Duggan and Hartke in early June to discuss Floyd's death and protests.
It’s just one of several conversations members have had with the chief, said Hardy, who is also a pastor at Congregational Church of the Valley and executive director of For Our City Chandler, a network of faith-based organizations that work to provide help to residents and improve the community’s well-being.
He said the changes the department is implementing are appropriate for the type of calls and incidents Chandler police respond to and they are reflective of what’s going on nationally.
“This department has made a considerable amount of changes to its policies, and this is a step forward from where many other departments are at,” Hardy said.
Roy Tatem, a Chandler resident and president of the East Valley NAACP, said the group is satisfied with the changes.
Tatem said he has had a number of more private conversations with the chief about policing over coffee and on Zoom. Command staff has met with the East Valley NAACP’s Criminal Justice Committee, and Duggan attended a meeting this summer with the organization to discuss police brutality.
Tatem said the changes and conversations show that the department “is willing to be proactive and responsive to the legitimate concerns of the community.”
“I am confident that if we identify additional issues that need to be addressed that we have the ability to raise those concerns and begin the process to address those issues,” he said.

Amuse: Pecorino Romano drizzled with molasses (N.B: before today I had never served anyone an amuse-bouche! I've hardly even ever used the word, let alone made them!)
-Carrots stir-fried with ginger and hot pepper
-Udo braised in cream with lemon and ginger
-Spinach ohitashi (spinach soaked in katsuo broth)
Second course: Salmon meunière
Pallete cleanser: iceplant
Dessert: strawberry parfait
It was a lot more effort than I thought it would be to put it all together. I didn't have all the plates and dishes to even serve all this, or store the parts I could make ahead, so just buying and washing them was a chore. I'd been thinking about a lot of variations for almost all of those, and had been busy all week testing them out. (Meunière is my favorite way to do fish, so that was decided, but what fish to use? I tried about four different kinds before settling on fresh anchovy, which are delicate and delicious and in-season and relatively sustainable. But when I got to the supermarket, there were no fresh anchovies, but there were some really beautiful salmon steaks.) I spent the week trying different variations of Smitten Kitchen's butterscotch pudding (I like it with bacon and five-spice powder and the maximum amount of cream she specifies), but at the supermarket yesterday, there were some gorgeous tiny little strawberries, which led to an abrupt change of plans and me whipping cream for parfaits at 7 p.m. today. I tried the spinach ohitashi with a little lemon zest and decided that it was better without.
I'd meant to make udo kimizu ae, which is udo dressed in a sauce based on egg yolk and vinegar. Udo has a lovely aroma, a bit like fennel, but until then, had never eaten an udo dish that tasted as good as udo smells. Even raw and plain, it doesn't taste as rich and as aromatic as you think it should. So I was very happy a few weeks ago in a ryokan when I was served it in this thin yellow sauce tasting as full and as luxurious as it should. The chef said that it was in kimizu (literally, egg yolk vinegar), which is a sauce thickened with egg yolks and soured with vingar. I found a recipe for it online, and it produced a stinking yellow gloop. So I still really don't know what that chef did, and just cooked the rest of the udo in cream, like cream-braised fennel, with a little lemon and ginger at the end. It still wasn't as good as that chef's version!
I'd also meant to make truffles as a final goodbye nibble, but between one thing and another, I never had time to get them ready.
But by 7:30, I had carrots and spinach and udo chilling in the fridge (the former two completely prepared last night, which is the only way you can get the ohitashi to be the right kind of tender, but with just a bit of bite to it), cream whipped and vanilla'd, strawberries chopped and hanging out with just a spoonful of brown sugar and a drop of lemon juice, the iceplant washed, the parsley with which to garnish the salmon washed, water for tea on, and cheese and salmon and bread ready to go.
Even serving was more work than I thought it would be: all four of the vegetables and the bread had to be plated, the spinach had to be cut into chopstick-edible lengths, the salmon had to be fried, the parfaits had to be assembled (they said, "Whoah! Did you just make parfaits right now?" and I said, "Well, I'd already done all the work!"), and even though I was hanging out with friends, I kept thinking about the next course and whether or not it was time to get it ready.
Next time I do something like this, I'm going to try to avoid thinking about the menu until about a week before, and I won't try to develop more than one recipe for it-- I think all but one of the things I make should be things I'm already reasonably familiar with. Also, even if you're going somewhat crazy for the food (which I definitely want to do sometimes!) you probably don't need to have much more than this, and a lot less would've been just fine. I think I did well in choosing mostly dishes that could be largely done in advance or else cooked easily, but I also realized just how important that is. If it were possible to do everything in advance, so much the better.
Anyway, I'm so happy that I pulled this off! The food was served and enjoyed and the dishes cleaned and put away and only a few things left that didn't make it to the table. I don't know when I'll next do this, or with who, or whether I'm going to go all-out or just make it a "Come over to my place-- let's have sandwiches and watch a movie" kind of deal. But I'm looking forward to doing it again.

Aetna has announced that they are going to post doctor's charges for common services in a pilot program in Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana. This is great news, with this tool consumers will be able to better estimate their costs and weigh the benefit before stepping foot in the doctor's office.
I'm not saying that people should shy away from much needed medical care because of rates, but if you have two doctor's with the same competence level consumers should be able to go online and see which one is more price competitive. As an example, Ford and GM both make great trucks, some consumers will choose only on brand (the doctor's reputation and hospital are his brand), while others will weigh price and features. At least now Consumers will have the same power when making health care decisions that they have when buying a truck!
