Passengers on planes, trains and buses will be required to wear masks for their journeys until at least Sept. 13, federal authorities announced Friday.
The Transportation Security Administration’s mask mandate went into effect Feb. 1 and was set to expire May 11, until the agency extended it.
“Masks remain an important tool in defeating this pandemic,” TSA official Darby LaJoye said in a press release. “We will continue to work closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to evaluate the need for these directives and recognize the significant level of compliance thus far.”
Former President Donald Trump resisted a federal transportation mask mandate, but President Joe Biden pushed for one shortly after taking office.
Airline executives and airline unions both supported the extension, the Associated Press reported. Children 2 years old and younger are exempt, along with anyone who has a disability or medical reason not to wear a mask.
More than 101 million U.S. residents are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to CDC data. However, another 58,000 Americans tested positive for the disease Thursday, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins.

At Least 150 Dead, 1.5 Million Impacted as Cyclone Idai Slams Mozambique, Malawi, Zimbabwe
At least 150 people have died in a cyclone that devastated parts of Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi over the weekend, The Associated Press reported Sunday. Cyclone Idai has affected more than 1.5 million people since it hit Mozambique's port city of Beira late Thursday, then traveled west to Zimbabwe and Malawi. Hundreds are still missing and tens of thousands are without access to roads or telephones.
"I think this is the biggest natural disaster Mozambique has ever faced. Everything is destroyed. Our priority now is to save human lives," Mozambique's Environment Minister Celso Correia said, as AFP reported.
The storm, which had wind speeds of more than 124 miles per hour before making landfall, was the worst to hit Mozambique in at least a decade, Bloomberg News reported. While the storm was less intense than cyclones that hit the country in 2000 and 2008, it may have more of an impact because more people now live in affected areas.
"Tropical cyclone damage is a function not only of the intensity of the storm, but also the population size, level of development, and adaptation that has been implemented," University of the Witwatersrand senior lecturer in physical geography Jennifer Fitchett told Bloomberg via email. "A decade or more makes a huge difference in terms of the number of people affected."
Mozambique is at risk from an increase in heavy rainfall and more intense cyclones due to climate change, according to its USAID Climate Risk Profile. However, a 2018 study published in Environmental Research Letters found that the number of tropical cyclones forming over the Southwest Indian Ocean to make landfall in Southern Africa could actually decrease with global warming of up to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Mozambique is also threatened by sea level rise, which can make flooding worse. Beira is already working to mitigate rising ocean levels with infrastructure projects, BBC News reported.
Beira was especially hard hit by the weekend's storm, according to an initial assessment by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
"The situation is terrible. The scale of devastation is enormous. It seems that 90 per cent of the area is completely destroyed." Beira IFRC assessment team leader Jamie LeSueur said.
The city's airport is closed and flooding has cut off all roads to the city, but LeSueur said that damage in surrounding areas could be even worse.
In Zimbabwe, the worst damage occurred in its Chimanimani district, where flooding washed away homes and bridges, AFP reported.
Among those killed in the region were two school children who died when a boulder carried by a landslide collided with their dormitory. Soldiers were able to rescue the rest of the nearly 200 students, teachers and staff trapped in the school Sunday.
Officials are also worried about the fate of government workers who lived in a complex that was entirely flooded.
"We are very worried because all these houses were just suddenly submerged under water and literally washed away and that is where we have about 147 missing," Chimanimani lawmaker Joshua Sacco said, according to AFP. "It's very sad and the situation is dire."
In Malawi, previous flooding has already displaced thousands. Communities are now threatened a second time with flooding caused by Idai, the IFRC tweeted Friday.

Planar bridging an atomically precise surface trench with a single molecular wire on an Au(1 1 1) surface
In a bridge configuration, a single graphene nanoribbon (GNR) is positioned with a picometer precision over a trench in between two monoatomic steps on an Au(1 1 1) surface. This GNR molecular wire adopts a deformed conformation towards the down terrace in between the two contact step edges. Using differential conductance dI/dV mapping from a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope, it is demonstrated how the electronic delocalization along GNR is cut at each contact by its down curvature. It points out the need to bring conductive nanocontacts backside of the support for preserving the front side GNR planar conformation.

This is the Statt Mann Baby. Time to Scatt a little bit.
Something new this week.
After watching Formula One for most of my life, I’ve come to believe the industry is turning into a Clown Show.
Let’s set aside the pure farce at Abu Dhabi in 2021 when officials stole an eighth championship from Lewis Hamilton.
Two weeks ago, F1’s former czar Bernie Ecclestone pleaded guilty to bank fraud while running the series in 2015. For that he was sentenced to 17 months but that was suspended largely because of his age. Ecclestone is 92.
And Ecclestone had to return nearly 800 million US dollars in the plea deal.
Then this week a story appears suggesting Formula One is lobbying General Motors to see if it would want to partner with another team in the F1 paddock. GM has cast its lot with
Michael Andretti so far.
But connecting some dots, GM and Cadillac won an IMSA championship this year with an engine that logically could be a prototype for the technology used in F1.
So, if you believe the story, not only are F1 teams rejecting Michael Andretti as an eleventh team in the paddock. They’re trying to back door a financial partner away from him.
A Clown Show.
In fact, I’m giving it two out of four clowns for the Scammy way F1 appears to be doing business these days.
A Clown Show…

When starting a business, an entrepreneur identifies the purpose of his or her business and its goals. The goals to be achieved are classified as either short-term or long-term. The business’s management is then tasked with guiding the business toward achieving the set objectives.
Every business hopes to grow. That is in terms of both its scale of operations and the value of its brand. Business expansion requires huge resources as it often involves the acquisition of more assets and an increase in the cost of operations. An organisation may be required to secure a business loan. Singapore is home to numerous financial institutions from which businesses of all sizes may secure their debt capital.
It is the major goal of any business organisation. They aim at facilitating one point of production with the aim of generating profits. A business may choose to be involved in production, that is, in the conversion of raw materials into finished products. They may also prefer to be a player in one or more channels of distribution from the manufacturers to the consumers. Charity organisations are a unique kind of business whose goal is to serve the public as opposed to profit generation.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is considered a business’s social duty to the community within which it operates. It is not a legal requirement. That means that it is the management’s decision as to whether to undertake it or not. There have been several arguments put forward both in support and against CSR. Some factions feel that it is illogical for a business to spend resources in non-profit generating activities.
Businesses are often started for many reasons. However, there are some that require to be fulfilled to ensure the survival of a business. For example, successful businesses have identified the essence of CSR as a means of endearing a brand to the public.

Located in the historic former Priory of St John of Jerusalem in Clerkenwell, this garden – despite its historic context – was planted out in the mid-1950s after the adjoining church was restored having suffered extensive damage from incendiary bombs in 1941.
The garden, which was created on the site of two former church buildings and was designed by Alison Wear, is planted with flowers and fragrant and medicinal herbs and features a 200-year-old olive tree brought from Jerusalem.
A quiet place of reflection, it serves as a memorial to those who died in the two World Wars.
The garden, which is maintained by volunteers, was redeveloped in 2009-10 – thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Wellcome Trust – with the addition of paving and beds for planting.
Alongside being a peaceful haven for a casual visit, the garden is also these days used as an event space.

TIPS – To Try on a Furnace That’s Not Working Before You Call For Service
No Heat? Don’t Panic the fix may be a simple one.
Try our TIPS to save some time and money by fixing it yourself.
If these don’t work, just call the experts at Cold Craft, Inc.
We can come out and find out what’s wrong.
Where To Go To Try To Jump Start Your Heating Without A Service Call
Before you call us with a no heat problem, here are some suggestions to try to fix your furnace.
Not having heat when it is cold is never convenient, but if you have children or older people in your home it can become a more urgent situation – even in the temperate Silicon Valley.
More times than not the solution to your heating problem is just a click or a battery change away. No need to call and pay for a professional heating expert before you rule out the more common issues. In the colder weather, heating companies receive more calls which means that you may be waiting for service. Try these tips and maybe you will have heat in a snap.
- Sometimes a battery operated thermostat has old or dead batteries. If your thermostat is battery operated, try replacing the batteries, one indication of a battery issue is a weak or missing display.
- Check if the thermostat is set higher than the current temperature (so it is asking the furnace for heat). If the setting is below the current temperature the furnace will not go on.
- If you turn off your heat in the summer or have air conditioning, it is possible that the thermostat is in the wrong mode. Make sure that the thermostat is in heat mode and not in A/C or off modes. Also try moving the temperature lever or dial of the thermostat up and down a couple of degrees to get it to kick on.
- Make sure that the switch to furnace (usually located on the wall next to the furnace) is in ‘on’ position. This switch can be accidently turned off if brushed against or perhaps it was purposely turned off for the summer. Many times this switch looks like a common light switch.
- It is possible that the circuit breaker was tripped. Try resetting the circuit breaker. ***A word of caution, if others are troubleshooting the furnace also make sure they are aware that you are turning the power back on to the furnace. If it trips again, it could indicate a serious problem and should be checked into. How to reset a breaker.
- If you have a pilot light make sure it is lit. Keep in mind many newer furnaces do not have a constant pilot light. It may be time
- As always change your filter regularly, it can cause the furnace to also shut down.
If these tips they don’t work it may indicate a more serious problem – please call Cold Craft, Inc. and our expertly trained NATE Certified Technicians can assist you in getting comfortable again – 408.374.7292 or email us at [email protected].

Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma’s upcoming film together with director Imtiaz Ali has been named Jab Harry Met Sejal. The film’s alleged title now suggests that superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s character is named Harry, while Anushka Sharma is named Sejal.
The longtime speculation around the title of superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma’s much-awaited collaboration with filmmaker Imtiaz Ali can be finally put to rest. All the conjectures around various titles like The Ring, Rehnuma and Raula, can now be thrown out of the window. The cat is out of the bag, as the makers have zeroed in on the title for the romantic film. ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ — that’s what the movie will be called, at least that’s what a report by DNA says.
The film has been in news more for its missing title than anything else. Wherever the film’s team went, it was hounded with only one question, ‘What is it named?’ especially because the movie is set to hit the theatres in August. And now that the title has been apparently been locked, one can’t help but analyse and debate as to why the makers opted for this. It can remind one of a lot of things like the 1989 cult romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally, which remains a favourite of many till today and Imtiaz’s own hit romantic comedy Jab We Met.
The film’s alleged title now suggests that Shah Rukh’s character is named Harry, while Anushka is called Sejal. Interestingly, with the new and apparently fixed title, the tone of this romance appears totally different. While Rehnuma, which got a thumbs-up from fans, lent a more profound, romantic vibe to the film, Jab Harry Met Sejal makes it sound like a frivolous, light-hearted, fun rom-com.
How the film turns out and whether the title justifies its story, only time will tell. But till then, fans can keep themselves engaged with arguments and theories about whether Jab Harry Met Sejal is actually worth the wait and all the hype. The film marks SRK and Anushka’s third film together, and their first one with director Imtiaz Ali

DES MOINES - Gov. Terry Branstad will sign legislation expanding low-income health care in Iowa.
Branstad spokesman Tim Albrecht said Monday the governor will sign the bill Thursday in Mason City. Branstad said the location was selected to acknowledge two lawmakers from the region - Republican House Majority Leader Linda Upmeyer and Democratic Sen. Amanda Ragan - who brokered the deal.
Under the plan, Iowa will accept federal dollars offered to states that expand Medicaid under President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. The state will use the funding to create a new health plan for some poor residents and will pay the premiums for other low-income Iowans to get plans on the new health care exchanges.
The plan will require federal approval. Branstad said he is optimistic that will happen.

I need to export the graphics and sound effects from Flash so I can use them in Construct 2. This will be a tutorial on exporting graphics from flash as a PNG as well as how to export audio as a WAV and then convert it to another format such as mp3. I will be using CS4, but later versions should not be too different.
Exporting Characters and Graphics
The first thing is to open your .fla file. Clear everything from the stage except for the graphic you are exporting. Click on File in the control panel and then Export > Export Image.
Choose the location and name you want the file to have. Be sure to set the “Save as type” field to PNG.
After you click Save the Export PNG panel will open. I used the default options except that I checked the option to make the PNG file interlaced. What is interlaced with PNG files? In short, it helps them appear to load faster.
That all there is to it for the graphics. You can then simply import them directly into Construct 2.
Export Sound Effects and Music
Exporting sound actually has two steps. Exporting it and then converting it to a different format. The easiest way is to make a new FLA file and import the music clip you want from your original. Place the music clip on the stage or in the first frame. Note, you must have enough frames for the clip to play completely. Too many frames, and your file will be excessively long. You may want to change the FPS to a much lower number such as five or even one so you don’t have to have as many frames.
Once you have the frames and audio clip in place, go to File > Export, but instead of Export Image select Export Movie. Select where you want it and the name and then set the Save as type to WAV Audio.
Be sure to listen to your file. You may need to add or remove frames to get the length of the audio file to match the length of the actual sounds.
Converting WAV to Another Format
I will be using Adobe Soundbooth because it came with my Web Premium CS4. Once you have Soundbooth open, click File > Import > Files. Alternatively, if you have used the file before within Soundbooth you can click File > Open.
Once you have your file imported it will appear in the Files section near the top left. Click and drag your file to the right into the Editor Panel.
From there you just have to save it. Click File > Save as and select the location, name and the new file type.
I am certainly a novice when it comes to Soundbooth, but it is necessary to know how to convert sound files. So now you have your graphics and your sound effects ready to use in Construct 2 or whatever method you choose to remake your game. You will need to do this for every sound effect as well as every frame in an animation individually.

Alzheimer’s disease: SMILES to preserve wisdom
Simplified molecular input-line entry systems (SMILES) is informative representation of molecules. This representation gives possibility to compare molecules in their architecture and in their action. Molecules characterized by good pharmaceutical action can be modified in order to improve their action.
Alzheimer’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system accompanied by memory deterioration, and progressive impairment of daily life activities. Aging of an organism is a biochemical process. Therefore, the injection of chemicals can influence this process.
There are collections of molecules, which have impact upon Alzheimer’s disease. However, the existence of more effective pharmaceutical agents is possible. How one can define these molecules?
One of the possible ways is the Monte Carlo method. The main idea can be represented by the following steps.
Step 1: Collecting of molecules, which can be utilized for treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
Step 2: Extraction of molecular features, which take place in molecules with very high impact upon treatment of Alzheimer disease.
Step 3: Extraction of molecular features, which take place in molecules with weak impact upon treatment of Alzheimer disease.
Step 4: Using computer one can build up random combinations of the above-mentioned fragments (this is essence of the Monte Carlo method).
Step 5: Experimentalist should define molecules, which can be synthesized and tested.
In fact, the above-mentioned steps contains many special operations. For instance, the fourth step is computational experiments, which can be carried out with the CORAL software, where the SMILES are start point.

Investigators with the Boise Fire Department have determined that Monday night’s fire at the Gene Harris Bandshell in Julia Davis Park in Boise was human-caused. The investigation has now been turned over to the Boise Police Department.
As for the future of the Bandshell, Boise Parks and Recreation Department officials say they will now hire a disaster cleanup crew to clean the interior and exterior of the historic structure.
Julia Davis Park remains open, but the Bandshell will be fenced off for the foreseeable future. Park users are asked to stay away from the structure and out of all closed areas.
“We are deeply saddened to see the damage done to this historic Boise landmark,” said Boise Parks and Recreation Director Doug Holloway. “We are hopeful the Gene Harris Bandshell can be restored so that we can continue to host community events and create lasting memories in Julia Davis Park for generations to come.”
The Gene Harris Bandshell is insured and the City of Boise intends to repairing the well-known community gathering place, but a damage assessment must be completed before a restoration plan can be determined.
The Boise City Department of Arts and History provided this information on the Gene Harris Bandshell:
The Bandshell was designed by the Wayland and Fennel architectural firm, and was constructed in a “mission revival style” with a stucco exterior, according to the Boise City Department of Arts and History. Its style was likely inspired by the construction of the Boise Depot in 1925. When the Depot was completed, it inspired a flurry of commercial and residential structures in a similar style.
The Bandshell was dedicated on Sunday, July 8, 1928 with remarks from former Boise City mayor Eugene B. Sherman and then-current Mayor Walter Hansen. This event included musical performances with a crowd of about 2,000 attending, either sitting on the grass or parked in their automobiles.
The Julia Davis Park Bandshell was renamed the Gene Harris Bandshell in 2000, in honor of the jazz musician, Gene Harris, who loved playing there.

The Science of Cacao
KAKAO isn't just a delicious beverage for the spiritually inclined. Though often mystical in nature, the scientific evidence backing cacao's blissful effects are far less speculative, yet just as profound. Cacao, when sourced properly, is loaded with unique plant compounds known for their beneficial effects on human physiology, especially the heart, brain, and body. These compounds have been well researched amongst scientists and academics. While they all work together to produce cacao's ceremonial effects, exploring these compounds individually is the best way to properly grasp just how profound ceremonial drinking chocolate can be.
1. Theobromine: hence the scientific name, theobroma cacao. Theobromine is one of the finest members of an alkaloid class of compounds known as xanthines. Theobromine has been proven to lower blood pressure, increase serum HDL cholesterol (the good kind), and enhance lung functioning by opening up air vessels via smooth muscle relaxation. Theobromine also enhances cognitive function by increasing blood flow and oxygenation to the brain and doubles as an antioxidant capable of mitigating oxidative stress and reducing inflammation. For those that love to exercise, theobromine also blocks adenosine receptors, enabling a short-term increase in muscular contractility.
2. Tryptophan: An essential amino acid and the sole precursor for the neurotransmitter serotonin, commonly known as the "feel-good chemical." Serotonin is well known for its ability to combat stress and improve our mood by promoting the feelings of comfort, contentment, happiness, and relaxation. Serotonin can also improve sleep, provide relief from the symptoms of depression and anxiety, modulate pain thresholds, and increase our sense of emotional well-being.
3. Phenylethylamine (PEA): better known as "the love drug" for its association with infatuation, this is the compound your brain releases naturally when you're falling in love. PEA stimulates the central nervous system to release the body's natural opium-like compounds called endorphins. This is somewhat similar to the sensation of orgasm. PEA also signals the body to promote the sensation of alertness, focus, and mental acuity, all while elevating one's mood, speeding up metabolism, and boosting memory.
4. Anandamide: Sanskrit word meaning the "bliss molecule," Anadamide is best known for its role in producing the feeling of happiness. Anandamide is an endogenous cannabinoid found naturally in cacao and the human brain. While anandamide won't leave you in a mind-altered state, its happiness producing effect does offer some protection against stress-related psychiatric diseases including major depression, generalized anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Anandamide also plays a role in memory, appetite, sleep, and pain relief.
5. Magnesium: every cell in the body contains this mineral and requires it to function. Magnesium helps increase energy, calms nerves, aids in digestion, and relieves muscle aches and pains (among a whole host of other benefits).
6. Copper: a mineral required for biological processes such as iron transport, glucose metabolism, and infant growth and brain development.
We could go on touting the health benefits of whole bean, heirloom drinking chocolate. It can all be summed up with this epic quote:
"After water, cacao is the single healthiest substance you can put in your mouth. It can easily replace a number of psychiatric drugs for mood, plus it produces the same chemistry in the brain that occurs when we fall in love." - Chris Kilham, WellBella

CBD oil is pretty amazing. In addition to all its benefits, it’s truly versatile in terms of how you take it. Whether you get your daily dose sublingually or by ingesting it, options are there. You can take it as is or add it to foods and beverages like your favorite coffee without any issue.
But all this begs the question “What does CBD oil taste like?” Well, raw CBD oil generally has a unique, earthy taste. But you’ll find many flavor profiles on the market. In addition, there are a few things that will affect CBD oil’s flavor, such as terpenes, carrier oils, and added flavorings. Let’s explore what CBD tastes like and what you might need to consider when consuming it!
Terpenes are natural compounds that create the unique flavor and aroma of hemp and other plants. You’ll often find the same terpenes in different plants, so that’s why sometimes specific flavor profiles might feel familiar to your taste buds, even if you’ve never had that particular food before. Terpenes have also been researched for their therapeutic benefits, such as aiding in sleep. They sometimes impart benefits when present in CBD drops.
Generally speaking, terpenes can be described as plant oils. Still, they’re actually tiny volatile organic molecules made from terpene alcohols and terpene acids, so it only takes a small amount of the compound to really change how you taste your CBD oil. There are a lot of terpenes in hemp. Some of the ones that may affect taste are :
Limonene: Citrus-like flavor and smell
Myrcene: Earthy and musky aroma and flavor
Pinene: Pine, fresh, woodsy scent and taste.
You’ll generally find terpenes in full spectrum and broad spectrum CBD products. These are CBD extracts that incorporate many of the terpenes, additional cannabinoids and other compounds found in hemp into the final CBD product. Full spectrum products will contain up to 0.3% THC, and broad spectrum will be THC-free. If you’re looking for pure CBD products, you’ll need to grab those made with CBD isolate. In these cases, you’re generally not getting any of the terpene flavorings, though. More on CBD isolate in a bit.
Carrier oils are used with CBD extract to create the tinctures that you buy in stores and online. Otherwise, the CBD extract would be too potent! Varying amounts of extract are combined with carrier oils, and that’s how you get different potencies. Carrier oils can impart a subtle flavor as opposed to terpenes, which can be powerful. Generally, carrier oils don’t have much taste themselves and the makers of CBD products like this. That’s because they don’t want to interfere with the CBD oil’s natural flavors by introducing anything too pungent, or they want their unique flavor combos to really shine through.
Popular carrier oils used for CBD products include hemp seed oil and MCT oil derived from coconuts. But pretty much every nut and seed oil works. For example, avocado oil, grape seed oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, almond oil, sesame oil, etc. As you can imagine, some of the other ones just mentioned would have a pretty strong taste if used. That’s why many manufacturers of CBD products keep it simple and stick to hemp seed and MCT oils.
Some CBD oils have added flavorings sourced from all natural fruits and vegetables. These are sometimes used to mask the natural hempy taste of full and broad spectrum products. Other times, they’re added to provide a flavor profile to CBD isolate products that are often relatively flavorless and dull.
These CBD oils can be delicious to take on their own and fun to use when cooking with CBD. The brilliant part about flavored CBD oil is it can easily be added to beverages such as tea, coffee or mocktails (cocktails if it’s been a super long day). You can also incorporate them into other things like salad dressings and sauces and smoothies.
Whenever you’re working on culinary creations with CBD oil, just be sure to not expose it to high temperatures. The reason for this is that the heat may affect the CBD negatively and diminish its effects.
A Flavorless CBD Experience
There are also those folks who might want a flavorless CBD experience. In this case, we recommend opting for CBD capsules instead of using oils. The added benefit is that various formulas exist that may offer extra help with sleep, immune system buffering and general relaxation. Whatever side you fall on when it comes to CBD flavors — natural, subtle, infused or flavorless — we know you’ll enjoy the benefits of your CBD products if you use them consistently.

Partnerships Between Resource Developers And Landowner Companies Crucial
Partnership between resource developers and landowner companies is crucial to the success of the industry, says Leon Buskens, senior vice president external affairs – community at Oil Search.
Mr Buskens was speaking at the welcome dinner for the second Oil Search landowner company leaders’ stakeholder engagement workshop last night, hosted by Peter Botten, managing director of Oil Search.
Held in Kokopo, East New Britain, the workshop brought together Oil Search’s senior management team, leaders from landowner companies operating in Oil Search project areas and invited guests to meet, share information and work together to discuss challenges and identify business optimisation opportunities.
It was held at the Gazelle International Hotel and attended by landowner company business leaders from Hides, Moran, Kutubu and Gobe, observers Laba from the plant site and IPI from Porgera, and key Oil Search senior representatives including Gerea Aopi, PNG country director, Oil Search.
“Oil Search has been here for more than 90 years and will continue to be here through the good times and the bad. We all need to work together and create a win-win situation because when landowner companies win, we win” said Mr Botten. This two-day workshop followed the success of the inaugural event in Goroka earlier this year.
“It is critical that resource companies and landowner companies work together in close partnership, especially during challenging times, and these structured workshops provide a great communication platform,” said Mr Buskens.
The dinner was immediately followed by the screening of an EMTV/EMTEK documentary titled “The Last Mile”.
The documentary told the story of the devastating earthquake that hit the southern highlands last year and highlighted the importance of partnerships and working in collaboration, especially during times of need.

The high number of infant deaths in mother and baby homes cannot be explained by infant mortality rates in Ireland at the time, according to an expert.
Prof Liam Delaney, the lead author on a 2010 study entitled From Angela's ashes to the Celtic tiger: Early life conditions and adult health in Ireland, said the rates of infant mortality in such homes deserve to be the subject of an investigation.
Infant mortality in Ireland in the 1930s and 1940s was in the region of 70 per 1,000 or 7 per cent, as high as countries in sub-Saharan Africa have now. It was higher in Dublin than in rural areas such as Tuam running at 10 per cent because of crowded conditions and poor sanitation.
The figures tailed off after that because of treatments for common childhood illnesses, and rising living standards.
Prof Delaney, who is professor of economics at Stirling University in Scotland, praised the work of Tuam woman Catherine Corless who has studied the excessive number of deaths at the mother and baby home in Tuam, Co Galway.
Prof Delaney said the rate of death at the mother and baby home in Tuam cannot also be explained by the significantly higher rate of infant mortality among children born out of wedlock.
“This points to something serious within these institutions,” he said. “Catherine Corless’s work points to the need for further investigation of these homes.”
He cited a statement made in the Oireachtas by Dr Conn Ward in 1934 who was parliamentary secretary to the minister for local government and public health, equivalent of a minister of State today.
Dr Ward said that mortality among “illegitimate children” in 1924 was five times that of the rest of the population. He went on to explain: “The illegitimate child being proof of the mother’s shame is, in most cases, sought to be hidden at all costs. What frequently happens is that the mother, or the mother’s family, at the time the mother leaves the hospital or home, make arrangements with someone to take the child, either paying a lump sum down or undertaking to pay something from time to time.
“These arrangements are often made or connived at by those who carry on the poorer class of maternity homes, and the results to the child can be read in the mortality rates.
“If a lump sum is paid or if the periodical payment lapses, the child becomes an encumbrance on the foster mother, who has no interest in keeping it alive.”

Tom Conroy (D-Wayland) reportedly will announce this morning his decision to drop out of the 2012 Massachusetts Senate race.
A press release from Conroy's camp said the third-term representative will hold a press conference at 10:30 a.m. outside the main entrance of the State House on Beacon Street.
Boston.com reports that Conroy cited Elizabeth Warren's name recognition and fundraising ability as reasons behind his decision to discontinue his bid. Warren is currently leading in the Democratic polls.
“I did not enter this race to run against Elizabeth Warren," Conroy told WBUR.
North Shore lawyer Marisa DeFranco, Newton resident Herb Robinson and lawyer James C. King remain in the Senate Democratic primary race now that Conroy, , Somerville resident and activist , and Brookline resident and City Year founder have dropped out.
Conroy announced his candidacy in June and kicked off his campaign with a hike throughout the state that in early July.
Conroy told Boston.com he plans to seek reelection to his current representative's seat.

Traditionally, purpose built “tack-off” machines have handled the painstaking task of removing dust and dirt particles from a vehicle before it is painted on an automotive assembly line. ABB’s FeatherDuster system replaces these one-dimensional machines with an unheard of level of precision, control and flexibility by combining a standard ABB IRB 6640 robot with an advanced rotating feather and vacuum tool to suck particles from the surface of the vehicle.
No traditional solution can match the unique 3D control provided by the duster head attached to the end of the long-arm of an IRB 6640. FeatherDuster is modular in nature and can be implemented in 2 or 3 robot layouts to accommodate the required speed of production. Not only can the robots closely follow the contours of each vehicle to ensure speedy and efficient dust removal, they can track the vehicles in complete synchronizations as they move along the conveyor, ensuring no stoppage is necessary for a thorough cleaning.
Implementing FeatherDuster in a new or existing system is incredibly easy. Familiar and time-tested user interfaces make for simple programming—whether directly on the FlexPendant attached to the reliable IRC5 robot controller or via the PC-based RobotStudio virtual programming tool. New vehicles can be added to, and taken away from, the system as required and without the need for specialists. While traditional tack-off equipment tends to take up a large amount of space, FeatherDuster has a very small footprint and can be fit into any station layout.
“ABB Robotics understands that the future of car manufacturing is tied to more flexible and efficient solutions that increase productivity and lower capital expenditure,” says Alan Stapelberg, ABB Robotics Body in White Product Manager. “FeatherDuster provides exactly that. It can be implemented quite easily and, just like our other automotive solutions based on our robust robots and controllers, it is incredibly reliable.”
When combined with its lower up-front investment and ease of programming, FeatherDuster’s modular and scalable approach means less money will be spent both in the commissioning phase and during build-out. The system also uses much less energy thanks to lower vacuum requirements and a reduced number of feather rollers.
All ABB Robotics' products are fully supported by the ABB Robotics’ global sales and service organization in 53 countries and over 100 locations—including comprehensive documentation, maintenance information and spare parts. This kind of support ensures that when replacement parts are needed, downtime will be minimized to the greatest extent possible.

Top performing Leigh Lavenders are ideally suited to New Zealand gardens with a range of rich colours, forms and fragrances. These long flowering plants love the hot dry Kiwi summer climate and will equally work well in pots or the garden.
These quick growing perennials are great in pots mixed with other perennials in the flower garden or even as a small clipped hedge. A great companion plant for a potager garden plant near a path or deck to enjoy the fragrance of the foliage and flowers.
Lavenders grow best in full sun in a well-drained position. A light trim or deadhead during spring and summer will encourage repeat flowering. Trim more vigorously at the end of summer to rejuvenate your plant for spring.

Everything You Need to Know About Leptospirosis In Small Dogs
Published on: December 21, 2022 | Author: Nicole McCray
It can be concerning once our little pup shows signs of depression, extreme tiredness, jaundice, or abnormal bleeding in the urine. There are many different possibilities and illnesses that this could be. But all signs could point to leptospirosis as well. Not many dog owners are aware of leptospirosis, what causes it, and how we can get help for it.
That’s why we go over everything you need to know about leptospirosis in small dogs right here. Let’s get into it.
What Is Leptospirosis?
Leptospirosis is a disease that is infectious. The bacteria leptospira can severely affect a dog's kidney and liver. Sadly if the infection goes untreated, it can cause death in some cases. It most commonly is spread through the urine of wild animals such as deer, raccoons, rats, etc. When they are infected and urinate into the soil, the bacteria can stay alive for a long time if the soil or water is warm.
Small dogs can get infected with either direct contact with the animal urine that is infected or with the water/area that is contaminated. It can enter through any open sores or cuts and through the nose, eyes, or mouth. Once this happens, the bacteria multiplies itself and moves through the bloodstream, causing the following effects.
How Can We Identify It In Small Dogs?
It’s important to remain on the lookout for the following as it can signify leptospirosis. Keep in mind that severe infections can develop rapidly with the threat of fatality. However, some mild or slight infections may not show any of the symptoms at all.
If your puppy usually loves to play and is high-energy, you may notice an extreme shift in energy. They may be tired a lot and have lost interest in playing. They are likely to have also lost their appetite and avoid eating. They may also seem stiff or like they are dealing with muscle pain.
When a small pup develops jaundice from this type of illness, you will notice the lining around its nose and mouth start to turn white/yellow. Their eyes also will have a yellow tint in them. The gums also are a good indicator as to whether your dog is experiencing jaundice symptoms.
If your dog has blood in its urine or stool, this could be a potentially life-threatening sign that your puppy has leptospirosis. Constant diarrhea is another thing to watch, especially if they are experiencing other symptoms.
Fever and vomiting can be added to the list. If your dog is constantly shivering, this is a sign that it might have a fever. This is especially true during warmer months of the year. Also, check for red or glossy eyes. While these types of symptoms may be attributed to something else, it’s also among the symptoms of this illness.
How is It Diagnosed?
Traditional blood tests are not the way the infection is detected. They can be a preliminary check to see if there are any abnormalities going on in the bloodstream of your small dog. But they can’t officially diagnose leptospirosis.
There are two tests for this.
- DNA-PCR acts as a rapid test to look for the DNA of Leptospira by looking at a urine sample. It costs less and is a quicker result than the alternative.
- The MAT stands for microscopic agglutination test and looks for antibodies in the dog's bloodstream for leptospira. The more antibodies, the easier it is to confirm the disease.
These tests are done at an animal hospital with a trained veterinarian. These aren’t tests you can do at home as a dog owner. Dog owners should be incredibly careful when dealing with sick animals for their safety and the dog's.
The Treatment Process
It’s totally normal to feel upset if your dog has been diagnosed with leptospira, but the good news is that you can do something about it. There are a few different approaches to treatment based on the severity of the condition.
- Antibiotics are the first approach and can significantly positively impact your dog's condition. Dogs also usually react immediately to the medication. There are two treatment phases, with the first targeting the acute infection. The second targets the infection as a carrier to eliminate the risk of continuing to spread the disease.
- Dogs who are dealing with life-threatening symptoms may be hospitalized and hooked up to IVs and other treatments to attack the virus even more immediately than antibiotics can. This keeps their vitals stable until they are ready to be on their own again.
Humans Need To Take Care
Sadly, humans can also contract Leptospirosis from dogs. It’s considered a zoonotic disease, meaning it can be passed between people and animals. Face masks, goggles, gloves, and extreme caution needs to be at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Once contracted, It can be incredibly dangerous to humans as well. That’s why getting the proper care is crucial.
According to professionals at the Bond Vet Clinic, “While there are ‘zoonotic’ diseases… that transmission is typically not likely. However, your odds do increase if you have a compromised immune system.”
You should also keep an eye on your dog at all times when outdoors to ensure they do not drink from still water like a puddle.
When In Doubt, Call A Vet
Leptospirosis is one of those illnesses that share a lot of symptoms with many other diseases. Some of them may be no big deal at all. In fact, sometimes Leptospirosis isn’t easy to detect at all in dogs. If you notice any symptoms above or feel like your pup has been acting differently, it is never a bad time to call a vet.
Not only can they reassure you that your dog is OK, but they can act swiftly if things don’t check out well. Most importantly, while it is not common for the disease to spread from animals to humans or vice versa, it is not impossible. Exercising increased caution when your dog isn’t feeling well protects you and everyone else.

Farm mechanization training brought to countryside via radio
THE Philippine Center for Postharvest Development and Mechanization (PhilMech) said it has commissioned radio programs to prepare farmers for the mechanization of rice cultivation, including post-harvest processing.
PhilMech said over the weekend that 11,682 farmer-beneficiaries affiliated with 892 cooperatives and associations are enrolled in the “Radyo Eskwela” program, created to support the mechanization component of the P10-billion Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF), which was created by Republic Act No. 11203 or the Rice Tariffication Law.
It added that enrollees go through six modules, with three to four lessons per module, on topics such as farm mechanization principles and machinery know-how.
Baldwin G. Jallorina, PhilMech executive director, said the program aims to help farmers who have received machinery to use and maintain their units effectively.
“There is a need to further educate and train farmers using various avenues like radio and social media to complement hands-on training,” Mr. Jallorina said.
“Eventually, those who finish the series can influence more farmers to be open… about farm mechanization,” he added.
According to PhilMech, the lessons are simultaneously aired in Tagalog, Hiligaynon, Cebuano, Waray, Chavacano, Bicolano, and Iloco by radio anchors and PhilMech technical experts in the field.
The radio program airs 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. every Wednesday and Saturday across 27 AM stations and six FM stations of the Radio Mindanao Network. Farmers can also access the program via its Facebook page and YouTube channel.
“Those who are not from the farmers’ cooperatives and associations can also listen to Radyo Eskwela by accessing its online platform,” PhilMech said. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave

Ariana Grande is moving up on the Billboard charts thanks to her new album Positions. Thanks to her latest saucy single “34+35,” the Grammy winner now has the second highest number of top 10 songs on the Billboard Streaming Songs chart.
“34+35” becomes Grande’s 20th top 10 hit, bowing at number 2 this week and shaking her free from a three-way-tie with Post Malone and The Weeknd. According to official data from Nielsen Music, “34+35” has been streamed a total of 21.7 times between October 30 and November 5.
With Grande’s impressive collection of 20 top 10 hits, she’s poised to take on Drake who sits atop the leaderboard.
The “Hotline Bling” rapper has a total of 48 top 10 songs while, in third, Posty and The Weeknd have 19 top 10 hits.
Grande’s single “Positions” currently rules the Billboard Streaming Songs chart, notching its second week in the number one spot. That song has clocked a total of 25.6 million streams last week, according to Nielsen data.
“Positions” and “34+35” aren’t the only songs off the Positions album to appear on the chart. In fact, the entire album — 14 singles in all — appeared on the chart. With that, Grande has collected her highest weekly total of song entries on that particular list.
Previously, her 2019 studio album Thank U, Next pushed 12 of its songs onto the Steaming Songs chart.
Elsewhere on Billboard, “34+35” debuted at number 8 on the Hot 100 while “Positions” slipped from the top spot and currently rests at number 2.
Also sliding into the top 50 on the Hot 100 are “Motive,” which features vocals from Doja Cat, “Off the Table,” “POV,” Just Like Magic,” “Shut Up” and “Nasty.”

To the editor:
My name is Bernadette Powis, and I am a candidate for Coroner in this November’s election. I have more than 35 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I am deeply committed to community service as a member of the Kinderhook Memorial Library Board of Trustees, the Columbia County Safe at Home Workgroup and as a volunteer with the Summer Lunch Program. My platform during my 2017 campaign for Kinderhook Town Board, called for a local response to the opioid crisis and improved services for the elderly. These are the reasons why I want to serve as Coroner.
First responders, law enforcement and coroners are called to unattended deaths to determine whether that death is natural or suspicious. My long career working on interdisciplinary teams with first responders, law enforcement and others, along with my medical knowledge, skilled observation and reporting expertise, crisis de-escalation ability, and years of experience supporting families facing sorrow and grief, are what I, as Coroner, will bring to this team.
My opponent in this race is Carmen Martino recently retired from a 23 year career in law enforcement. I commend him for his accomplished law enforcement resume. However, death scenes are already well represented by our highly skilled and professional representatives of law enforcement: the Sheriff’s Department and the State Police. The coroner’s position, independent of law enforcement, equal in importance, is best served by medical expertise and sensitivity.
Columbia County voters, please vote for me in November.
Bernadette M. Powis RN, FNP, NPP

What is self-rising flour?
Self-rising flour is a combination of all-purpose flour (also referred to as plain flour), baking powder, and salt. It’s often used in recipes with no leavening agents (such as baking powder, baking soda, or yeast) and reduces the number of ingredients needed.
What is the difference between regular all-purpose flour and self-rising flour?
The difference between the two flours is one already has the leavening agent included If you only have all-purpose flour on hand, you will need to add the leavener to it for it to rise. If you come across a recipe that uses self-rising flour, you can make it yourself quickly and easily using 3 simple ingredients that you most likely already have in your pantry.
What recipes use self-rising flour?
Self-rising flour is used in so many quick and easy southern recipes. It has become a staple ingredient in my kitchen for the perfect buttermilk biscuit, buttermilk pancakes, cinnamon roll biscuits, waffles, easy peach cobbler, quick breads, and more.

Thanks very helpful
I’m so glad these tips helped you, Jane.
If the recipe calls for 3 cups of self rising flour, should I mix 1 cup of regular flour with 1and 1/2 t baking powder and 1/4 t salt and call that 1 cup( even though it’s really more than a cup)
Yes, it equals more than a cup but that is the formula, Diana.
Great to know substitutions I hate running to the store thanks plus some said something about a lemon pound cake that sounds wonderful
Rebecca, I love to have substitutions such as this for the self-rising flour so I don’t have to make an extra trip to the store as well. This is my Lemon Pound Cake Recipe. I hope you try it sometime. Thanks!
Do you use kosher salt in all of your recipes? If yes, people using regular table salt could be adding up to twice as much salt/sodium than your recipes call for. I ask because on April 4 2022 you replied to a question & said you use kosher salt in this recipe. Kosher salt is lighter than regular table salt, so for instance 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt is about as “salty” as 1/8 teaspoon regular table salt (varies with kosher brands). So people using regular table salt (your recipe doesn’t specify) will make saltier self-rising flour than you make unless they reduce the salt measurement.
Would you consider noting the type of salt you mean? it’s part of the same issue as whether “butter” means salted or unsalted, which would also make a difference in any recipe’s salt measurement.
So just add more sale and try it out. Use the amount you like
Can you use Gluten Free Flour?
Yes, Robert, you can use gluten free flour to make self-rising flour.
Thanks your recipe works
Thanks for the recipe for self-rising flour, both small and large batch!
Is it possible to substitute a different flour (whole wheat, whole-wheat white, or quinoa, for example) for 1/4 or 1/3 of the all-purpose flour when making my own self-rising flour?
LK, I haven’t made self-rising flour with those combinations but it should work.
