Bay County Health Officials Confirm Fourth West Nile Virus Case
Bay County now has a fourth human case of West Nile Virus.
County Health Department spokeswoman Heather Kretzer says older residents who are particularly at risk for the mosquito-borne disease need to take serious precautions to avoid the West Nile Virus.
“Those symptoms include a high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, and paralysis,” she said.
Kretzer says people should remember to drain any standing water to stop mosquitoes from multiplying, cover skin with clothing or repellent, as well as cover screens and doors. Last week, Bay county health officials confirmed a case of the West Nile virus. Two more were discovered in July.

A four-year-old boy in the southern Chinese province of Guandong has died after receiving a vaccination, sparking further public anger as Beijing gave orders for a nationwide probe into the unfolding scandal.
The boy, a resident of Guangdong's Zijin county near Heyuan city, was identified only by his surname Shen, the Southern Daily newspaper reported.
He died on March 8 in the Heyuan People's Hospital after being given a group A + C meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine and a live attenuated polio vaccine at the Zhongba Huanle Kindergarten on March 4, the paper said.
Calls to the Guangdong provincial health and family planning department resulted in a continual busy signal on Tuesday, while calls to the Zijin country Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) rang unanswered during office hours.
Chinese authorities this week launched a nationwide investigation into a substandard vaccines scandal that has sparked widespread public anger over the country's appalling safety record, official media reported.
Illegal vaccine traders
China's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given local governments until Friday to trace the buyers of illegal vaccines after police in the eastern province of Shandong uncovered an illegal vaccine-trading ring worth around U.S.$88 million, state media reported.
The Shandong government said on Saturday it had evidence linking some 300 suspects to illegal vaccine sales transactions in 24 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions.
Among those formally arrested in 21 cases spanning Inner Mongolia, Henan, Hebei and Shandong were a mother surnamed Pang and her daughter, who are being held on suspicion of selling vaccines that were past their expiry or that had been improperly refrigerated.
China's FDA said it has identified nine vaccine wholesalers suspected of filing fraudulent reports of buyers' identities, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Online comments suggested widespread public anger at the latest in a long line of food and drug safety disasters to hit the unsuspecting Chinese public.
"When will there be supervision of this dynasty?" Sina Weibo user @xiaoyaxiaopingguoer55555 commented on a post that garned more than 12,000 comments on the Twitter-like service on Tuesday, in a satirical reference to the ruling Chinese Communist Party.
"Where is the hope for the citizens under a government like this?"
User @mangmangmangmonster linked the scandal ironically to the relaxation of population controls to a "two-child" policy.
"No wonder they want to let everyone have a second kid; they've poisoned all the first-born children," the user wrote. Another, @Dear_ZJy-, added: "It's chilling to think that a country can't even guarantee the safety of its children, who are poisoned with formula milk and vaccines, and who have to worry about being stolen by traffickers."
At least 300,000 babies and infants were made ill by infant formula milk laced with the industrial chemical melamine, which saw a total of 21 people convicted for their roles in the 2008 scandal, since when reports of melamine-laced products continued to emerge.
User @maomaoshanshangdedawang appeared to agree, commenting: "And they still want us to have kids for this country?"
Other comments called for better accountability.
"All I want to say is that they should be accountable to these children, and not let them lose faith in their own country," user @xuanbaobei1 wrote.
And a user from cell phone number 2215977033 wrote: "So much for public trust, haha."
Tip of the iceberg?
Henan-based Yang Fan, whose child was affected by a substandard vaccine, said the Heyuan boy's death is likely the tip of the iceberg.
"There have been a great number of reports of adverse reactions to vaccines all around the country, but we only hear about a few of them," Yang said.
"We are in a very frightening situation right now in which nobody dares to get their kid vaccinated."
Guangdong parent Cai Shibin, whose child was also affected by a vaccine, agreed.
"There have been so many problems with vaccines, but they've all been swept under the rug," Cai told RFA on Tuesday. "We really need freedom of information for these problems to come to light."
Rights activist Yang Zhanqing, who has taken a long-running interest in families hit by vaccine safety issues, said there should be a more robust process in place to ensure quality.
"There should be a process in place to determine adverse reactions or quality problems, and the authorities should call in experts to investigate," Yang Zhanqing said.
Vaccine activist Yu Tong'an said parents are currently planning to mobilize in response to the renewed scandal.
"We are planning to hold a demonstration in Beijing on April 14," Yu said.
Meanwhile, police in Shandong have detained a 47-year-old former doctor for allegedly selling substandard hepatitis B, rabies, mumps and Japanese encephalitis vaccines to nationwide distributors.
The woman surnamed Pang detained last week had allegedly sold about two million doses of suspect vaccines, state media reported.
Reported by Wen Yuqing for RFA's Cantonese Service, and by Xin Lin for the Mandarin Service. Translated and written in English by Luisetta Mudie.

Tuesday April 26, 2022 – The future is near. Nearer than we think. Advances in Blockchain technology – and its integration in the Internet are about to change the way we live and work, and how we interact with others.
The emergence of Web 3.0 – using Blockchain technology – promises to take control of private data away from the Big Tech companies and place it in the hands of End users, who directly manage and control their own data and information.
To get to Web 3.0 the Blockchain has some growing to do. Remember, the Blockchain is more than Bitcoin, Ethereum or any single cryptocurrency – layer 1. layer 2 is a collective term used to describe blockchain scaling solutions. These solutions are built on top of the layer 1 blockchain and help improve the network’s scalability and transaction processing speed.
Attorney Steven A. Leahy reports on the exciting world of Blockchain, Internet and the Future.

When we think about the things that others have done to us or our loved ones that caused us great pain we naturally have feelings of anger, hurt, rage, disappointment, and such negative emotions. We have bad thoughts about the person and may wish harm to them for the pain that they caused us. We wonder how someone could do the acts that they did. We want them to hurt like we hurt. And the truth is that they may actually have the same pain in their hearts that we do. It may be caused by something totally different than what has caused our pain, but the pain still runs deep.
When I learned the truth that I am about to share with you it caused a great deal of freedom and healing that I much needed. It did not make it all go away, as if it never happened, and the pain was still real. But it gave me the “reason” behind it all. It helped me to free myself from the thoughts of, “what did I do to deserve it, what’s wrong with me, why me” that consumed me for years. And that truth is, hurting people hurt people. Pain causes pain. And it is a vicious cycle that is causing more and more people to cause pain to each other. When someone does something that hurts another person it is likely that they are acting out of their own pain. You”ve probably heard about rape or abuse cases where the defendant had the same or similar things happen to them when they were younger. Maybe you have said some really hurtful things to someone that you care deeply about all because they said hurtful things to you. Or have you ever known someone that has a lot of anger inside and they are not a very nice person? All these situations are mostly caused by someone that has a lot of pain in their heart. And because of that pain they either want someone to feel their pain or they never learned to redo a learned behavior from childhood.
This is not an excuse for the person that has caused you so much pain but it very well may be the reason why they did it. It does not make what they did okay but maybe it will help you to know that it had nothing to do with you at all. You did not do anything to deserve what happened to you. The person that caused you all that pain has something seriously wrong with them rather it be a mental or emotional thing. And you did not do anything to cause that so don’t let yourself think that it is somehow your fault.
We all have reasons behind our actions rather they be good or bad. Thoughts, beliefs, and emotions cause us to act in certain ways. If we have bad thoughts, wrong beliefs, or negative emotions we are going to act bad and do wrong things. It is not an excuse to act that way but it is the reason. In order to assure that you will not cause others the pain that was caused to you make sure that you properly heal from your experience and do not hold onto the pain. If you were verbally, mentally, emotionally, or physically abused as a child you have to make sure that you heal from it and learn how to do differently. We can not control the pain that others cause but we can make sure that we are not the ones causing it. Many times the person that has caused you pain is in a turmoil of pain themselves and unfortunately they act upon that pain. Like I said before, it is not an excuse but it very well may be the reason.
I hope that you find some freedom from this. I pray that this help you to heal in some way. And I hope that it helps you to be conscious of your actions towards others so that you can break the pain cycle.

Miranda Lambert Rolls Up Shirt Sleeves for Adoption Drive [Pictures]
Country music's reigning Female Vocalist of the Year got her hands dirty helping out at a pet adoption on Friday in Madill, Okla. From the looks of things, Miranda Lambert wouldn't haven't spent the sunny day any other way.
Lambert teamed up with the Animal League's Tour for Life at an area Walmart. She shared pictures of all the successful adoptions on her newly created Instagram page. Check out a few of her success stories below.
Dressed in just t-shirt and jeans -- with an stylish turquoise flower belt buckle and bright yellow shades -- Lambert did more than just lend her celebrity. The 'Automatic' singer regularly turns up for adoption events, occasionally taking home a pet or two that she couldn't stand to see go home alone. That didn't happen this time.
"Still only have 6! Didn't bring any home today! Thanks to everyone who adopted! #tourforlife," she wrote. The singer splits her time between homes in Nashville, Oklahoma and Los Angeles were husband Blake Shelton shoots 'The Voice.'


As we plunge forth into Industry 4.0, we discover new ways to take advantage of our existing infrastructures. Nature is often inspiration, but what’s more uncommon is rediscovering lost knowledge. As we use our bones as inspiration for crack-proof metal materials, we discover that we once had already mastered a similar technique.
A team of MIT, Japanese, and German researchers significantly reduced metal fatigue by inserting laminated nanostructures into steel. Much like the microstructures within our bones, this biomimicry will eventually allow metals to be lighter and more resistant to wear and tear.MIT, Japanese, and German researchers used nanostructures to reduce metal fatigue.Click To Tweet
Steel is an alloy, and alloys are mixtures of different metals in different quantities. Alloys are subsequently stronger overall but if the carbon-slag ratio is off, they are susceptible to weak points.
For example, think swords. Steel is resilient and swords could be resharpened again and again without altering the metal’s mechanical structure. However, many medieval smelting techniques and unpurified ore created pockets of slag in the sword that created weak points that when struck, further weakened the sword and eventually led to a structural break.
Improvements came during the High Medieval period, when, similarly to the nanostructures added to the steel in the MIT study, some versions of the super strong Viking sword called the Ulfberht were made of a higher-quality crucible (Damascus) steel imported from Asia that reinforced the steel to increase its resistance.
Ulfberht, Damascene, and Wootz Steel
In an intriguing Gizmodo article we learned that ancient Damascus swords took advantage of microstructures–carbon nanotubes produced by exacting steel making–to produce lighter, sharper, more durable weapons than we have been producing since.
In the early 2000s, scientists found nanowires and nanotubes embedded in these weapons. Like the bone-inspired nanostructured steel we’ll cover next, these weapons had sophisticated nanostructures.
Originally, Wootz steel (as it’s called) comes from India. It has a low, 1.5% carbon impurity level. It forms a banded structure with the following components:
- A core of Fe3C, or cementite, a carbon-iron composite.
- A criss-crossed exterior of softer steel, laid by the craftsman to form a strong, flexible matrix.
- Acid is poured on the steel, eating away at the softer materials but leaving the microstructure firmly intact.
No one knows exactly why this steel production process fell out of our collective knowledge. Yet, as scientists rediscovered the methodology, we see that microstructures have played an important role in technological advancement even before the current era.
New Laminated Nanostructures Mitigate Metal Fatigue
The metal materials used to create aircraft and roadway infrastructures experience constant stress. Often, metal fatigue can lead to catastrophic failure of these materials, as stress patterns are repetitive and cyclical.
Detailed in the journal Science, C. Cem Tasan, Professor of Metallurgy at MIT, Meimei Wang, and collaborators from Kyushu University in Japan and the Max Planck Institute used a layered microstructure to give steel a bone-like integrity.
Due to regular expanding and contracting of conventional metal materials, microcracks slowly form over time and can eventually lead to sudden failure. Tasan asked the researchers, “Can we design a material with a microstructure that makes it most difficult for cracks to propagate, even if they nucleate?”
In response, the team developed a steel material with three major components:
- A layered structure that traps microcracks in the originating layer.
- Phases of materials exhibiting increasing hardness which support one another and greatly reduce the spread of microcracks.
- A mestastable composition: small sections are positioned between different stable states (some flexible, some rigid) that help absorb the energy of crack spreading.
A First Step
Tasan explains “the extreme sensitivity of these materials to surface defects. If you scratch it, it’s going to fail much faster.” This makes their new material incredibly difficult to test in a practical setting. Yet, testing in controlled environments with be crucial to the scalability of this new material.
Tasan adds that, “This is an alloy that would be more expensive than a basic low-carbon steel, but the property benefits have been shown to be quite exceptional, and it’s with much lower amounts of alloying metals (and hence, costs) than other proposed materials.”
Although different techniques and composites created Tasan’s material and Damascene steel, microstructures are an element of construction that could apply to many different scientific fields. Where best do you think these materials should be applied?

I just love the short stories in this book. You can read one or two at a time. You can pick up where you left off, because they are different stories from different people. A nice, relaxing way to spend a few minutes ...
Soup for the Soul
Love these books. Short and sweet stories with great insight into the cat mind that don't take long to read. I have a busy schedule, so the short stories are great. I can read one or two while taking a break and then go back to work refreshed!

Premier League footballers ‘taking a knee’ came in at the tail end of the 2019-20 season, when stadiums were empty because of the first Covid lockdown. Thus were the game’s moneyed elite spared having to initiate the fad in front of full houses. By the time supporters returned it was a fait accompli, normalised by endless self-righteous newspaper columns and political speeches on air by TV football pundits.
Only one view of the matter was permitted. Any supporter who expressed dissent about the gesture of support for the Black Lives Matter campaign risked being branded a knuckle-scraping racist.
Given that the gesture emerged in the United States as a show of outright rejection towards society – and given that British BLM supporters were at the time merrily defacing the Cenotaph and Churchill’s statue in Parliament Square during their ‘mostly peaceful’ riots – this demand for universal acquiescence was outrageous. While the players may have been down on one knee, the fans were being brought to heel.
Two years on, we learn that knee-taking is to be curtailed in the Premier League. Now it will only be deployed on high days and holidays after being judged to have lost impact and outlived its usefulness.
But the conceit encapsulated by players being allowed to make a political gesture, while paying punters were simultaneously prohibited from expressing disapproval of it, told many match-going supporters all they needed to know about their place in the new football pecking order: right at the bottom of the heap.
There were other clues around to be fair: the last-minute rescheduling of games because of the demands of TV paymasters; the perennial pressure for a contrived ’39th round’ of matches to be staged in the Premier League’s various emerging markets overseas; and most of all the attempt by the ‘big six’ clubs to slam the door on the last vestiges of open competition by awarding themselves permanent places in a proposed new European Super League.
Yet knee-taking was the thing that caused me to bring to an end my eight years as a holder of two season tickets at West Ham. I figured that I would travel to see more of my real team – Cambridge United – instead. But that option disappeared when the powers-that-be at the Abbey Stadium threatened to ban supporters who booed when players performed the knee-taking ceremony. While I would have confined my own response to sullen silence, I messaged the club’s Twitter account to say this proposal was a ridiculous infringement of the rights of supporters to freedom of expression. For that I was blocked. This ended more than 40 years of following the U’s home and away as well.
In the absence of an apology, I don’t propose to go back to matchday Saturdays. I know plenty of supporters who feel the same way. It will be interesting to see how the Premier League fares this season expecting fans to stump up £50 a match and more during a cost-of-living crisis to watch a competition that has become ever-more skewed in favour of the richest clubs.
Gardening and coastal weekend walks have more than filled the gap for me. I wouldn’t trade either in for a return to being taken for granted by a once beautiful game that has morphed into the spoiled sport. I enjoy watching the women’s super league on the TV and may seek out a few non-league matches (‘there’s none of that knee-taking rubbish there’, a mate told me in the pub the other night), but the spell is broken.
English men’s professional football came to regard itself as a matter of life and death for supporters who would, in consequence, put up with any indignity foisted upon them. I have belatedly come to realise that it is a lot less important than that.
The players may no longer be on their knees nearly so often from now on, but don’t be surprised if the finances of plenty of clubs are reduced to that state given the contempt they have shown towards their fan bases.

Mary Whipple | New England | 08/18/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Basing this autobiographical play on the story of his parents' marriage and his own turbulent early years, D. H. Lawrence creates a study of a bad marriage and the rippling effects it has on the entire family. Like Lawrence's father, main character Holroyd (masterfully portrayed by Rex Robbins) is a miner whose constant drinking and carousing with women make him a poor father and worse husband. He is determined to control every aspect of his poor family, however, while they survive in a drafty house in which they must compete with rats for space.
Mrs. Holroyd (Lizzie), played with enormous sensitivity and restraint by Joyce Ebert, is described by her mother-in-law as very "clever," above Holroyd in achievement, and she is resented because of it. Lizzie married Holroyd to escape her own family situation, and though she has worked to be a good wife, she admits she never loved Holroyd. Their two children hate the constant upheavals, with the young son declaring, "I hate him. I wish he'd fall down a pit shaft." The only bright spots in the family's life occur when another miner, Blackmore (Frank Converse), whose attraction to Lizzie Holroyd cannot be kept hidden, occasionally visits, often carrying home the unconscious, drunk Holroyd. His kindness to the children offer them brief glimpses of the kind of attention they might have found with a "real" father.
Lizzie Holroyd's "widowing" has started early in the marriage, as communication has dwindled and Holroyd's exercise of raw power has become more insistent--and dangerous. After his wife declares, privately, that she considers the marriage over, she and Blackmore plan an escape to Spain with the children. Holroyd's death in a mine collapse, however, leaves all of them blaming themselves for their evil thoughts and their belief that they have caused his death.
Geraldine Fitzgerald, as Holroyd's mother, absolutely brilliant in this 1974 production, stands up for her son and attempts to justify his abusive behavior when his dead body is brought back to the house for preparation for burial. Castigating the new widow for not having been a good enough wife, she epitomizes the agony which miners' families must endure as husbands and sons die in the mine. At the same time, she also epitomizes the strengths with which these families endure. Naturalistic in its presentation, the play is also filled with tearful moments of great power. The fine cast and simple set of this Broadway Theatre Archive production emphasize the drama of a marriage that has failed and the horrors of life in the mines. n Mary Whipple

In the bustling city of Alexandria, Virginia, ensuring quality care for yourself or your loved ones is a top priority. Home health services offer a valuable solution, providing personalized care and support in the comfort of your own home. Whether recovering from an illness, managing a chronic condition, or simply needing assistance with daily tasks, choosing the right home health service provider is essential for maintaining your health and well-being.
Understanding Home Health Services
Home health services encompass a wide range of medical and non-medical care provided in the home setting. These services are designed to meet patients’ needs and promote independence and wellness. From skilled nursing care and therapy services to assistance with activities of daily living, home health agencies offer comprehensive support tailored to each person’s unique situation.
The Benefits of Home Health Services
One of the key benefits of home health services is the personalized care provided to each individual. Care plans are customized to address specific health concerns and goals, ensuring patients receive the support they need to thrive at home.
Comfort and Convenience:
Providing care at home offers comfort and convenience that is unmatched in other care settings. Patients can remain in familiar surroundings, surrounded by loved ones, contributing to faster recovery and improved overall well-being.
Reduced Risk of Infections: Hospitals and other healthcare facilities can be breeding grounds for infections. By receiving care at home, patients are exposed to fewer germs and have a lower risk of developing healthcare-associated infections, promoting better health outcomes.
Home health services are designed to help patients maintain their independence for as long as possible. Caregivers assist with bathing, dressing, and meal preparation, empowering individuals to continue living on their own terms.
Cost-Effectiveness: Home health services can be more cost-effective than prolonged hospital stays or residential care facilities. Patients and their families can save on healthcare expenses by avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations and utilizing resources more efficiently.
Choosing the Right Home Health Service Provider
With so many home health agencies, selecting the right provider can seem overwhelming. Here are some factors to consider when making your decision:
Credentials and Accreditation:
Ensure the home health agency is licensed and accredited by relevant regulatory bodies. This ensures that the agency meets established standards of care and adheres to best practices.
Experience and Expertise:
Look for a provider with extensive experience delivering home health services, particularly in your area of need. Experienced caregivers are better equipped to handle complex medical conditions and provide high-quality care.
Range of Services: Consider the agency’s services and whether they align with your needs. From skilled nursing and therapy services to personal care and companionship, choose a provider that provides comprehensive support tailored to your unique requirements.
Quality of Care:
Research the provider’s reputation and read reviews from other clients to gauge their quality of care. A reputable agency will prioritize patient satisfaction and employ compassionate, skilled caregivers.
Communication and Collaboration:
Effective communication between caregivers, patients, and their families is essential for ensuring continuity of care. Choose a provider that values communication and encourages collaboration in care planning.
The Importance of Quality Care
When it comes to home health services in Alexandria, VA, quality care is paramount. Quality care goes beyond just meeting patients’ basic needs; it encompasses compassion, empathy, and a commitment to enhancing the overall quality of life for those under care. Here’s why quality care matters:
Improved Health Outcomes:
High-quality care delivered by skilled professionals can improve patient health outcomes. Whether managing chronic conditions, recovering from surgery, or receiving rehabilitative therapy, the level of care provided directly impacts the patient’s recovery and overall well-being.
Enhanced Patient Satisfaction:
Quality care is synonymous with patient satisfaction. When patients feel valued, respected, and well-cared for, they are more likely to experience higher satisfaction with their care experience. This, in turn, fosters trust and confidence in the healthcare provider and promotes better adherence to treatment plans.
Safety and Reliability:
Quality care ensures that patients receive safe and reliable services that meet established standards of practice. From medication management to infection control measures, caregivers prioritize patient safety at every step, minimizing the risk of adverse events and complications.
Home health services offer a valuable solution for individuals seeking quality care in Alexandria, VA. By choosing the right provider, like Red Sea Homecare Agency, and actively participating in your care, you can enjoy the benefits of personalized support, increased independence, and improved overall well-being. Whether recovering from an illness, managing a chronic condition, or simply needing assistance with daily tasks, home health services empower you to live life to the fullest in the comfort of your home.

TOKYO – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he agreed with President Donald Trump during a telephone call on Tuesday that their top priority on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) was to do what they could to halt its missile launches.
"Through a firm partnership between Japan and the US and cooperating with China, Russia and the international community we agreed that our priority was to work to ensure that North Korea doesn't launch more missiles," Abe told reporter after he spoke to Trump.

The DPRK is also referred to as North Korea.
Abe said he also praised a commitment by Trump that the United States would ensure the security of US allies in the region as threats from the DPRK intensify.
"President Trump reaffirmed that the United States stands ready to defend and respond to any threat or actions taken by North Korea against the United States or its allies, South Korea and Japan," the White House said in a statement.
Under Japan's alliance treaty with the US, Washington has pledged to defend Japan. It has put Japan under its nuclear umbrella, meaning it could respond to any attack on Japan with atomic weapons.
Trump and Abe discussed a range of other regional and global issues of mutual interest, the White House said.
Japan's defense chief and foreign minister will meet their US counterparts on Thursday to reaffirm Washington's commitment to defending Japan, including the use of its nuclear deterrent.
The Japanese government announced on Tuesday that Japan's Minister of Defence, Itsunori Onodera, and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Taro Kono, travel to the US capital this week for "two-plus-two" meetings with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
The meetings come with tensions high in East Asia with the DPRK threatening to fire missiles into the waters close to the US Pacific territory of Guam. The missiles would have to fly over Japan to reach their target worrying Tokyo that warheads or missile debris could fall on its territory.
US President Donald Trump has warned of "fire and fury" if the DPRK threatens the US, and said the US military is "locked and loaded".
"The strategic environment is becoming harsher and we need to discuss how we will respond to that," a Japanese foreign ministry official said in a briefing in Tokyo. "We will look for the US to reaffirm it defense commitment, including the nuclear deterrent," he added.
Talking to reporters in Tokyo on Tuesday, Japan’s Economy Minister Toshimitsu Motegi said the threat posed by the DPRK has entered a new stage and that Japan wants to work with the US and other relevant countries to respond.
Motegi said he wants to monitor the situation in case of any impact on Japan's economy.
He declined to comment on any financial market moves related to DPRK tensions.


Saft, a designer and manufacturer of industrial batteries, has inaugurated an automated lithium-ion battery factory in Jacksonville, Fla.
This production facility is dedicated to building advanced lithium-ion cells and batteries for energy storage for renewable energy, smart grid support, broadband back-up power, transportation and defense, the company says.
The factory, Saft's 16th facility worldwide, features a 1 MW solar power rooftop photovoltaic system and fully automated, totally flexible production lines capable of building new lithium-ion technologies.
Saft says it was presented with incentives from the State of Florida and the City of Jacksonville to build the plant. Construction of the 235,000 square-foot facility was further funded by a $95.5 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Energy under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Happy Turkey Day!
I'm up unnaturally early, since I passed out at the unheard of 2130 hours last night. I thoroughly wore myself out by completing the Vespa leg yesterday, and taking back the scooter from Fremont to Tarzana in one fell swoop - 400 miles in a straight shot running 9 hours. The route I took was straightforward along the 101, with a small bisection of CA-25 around Hollister and back on the 101 around San Miguel. All back in one piece!
The rear wheel is starting to square off again. I got the Continental Zippy 1's after reading all the fanfare on the forums of Modern Vespa, but am not quite impressed how it handles the rain grooves on highways while carrying a load. It seems very skippy and squirrelly, but it could be that maybe I shouldn't be on rain grooves in the first place ;)
Tempted to get a vintage small frame. Ride it coast to coast? Pan-America? This is getting too crazy in my head. Crazy, crazy, where the rabbit hole may lead.
The total cost of gasoline to traverse a little under 1,700 miles on a 150cc Vespa?
Under 100 dollars. :)
It's been 1,692 miles on the Vespa since I left my house more than a week ago. I want to blog about the specifics (routes taken, mileage between points, camping outtakes), but I need to go to bed. In a few hours, I hitch a ride via car with my brother and sister-in-law back to SoCal.
In the meantime, I've posted links to the photo albums below. I'll probably include more detail of the trips in the following days. Until then, "tcheuss out!"
Yosemite National Park. Photo set is here.
Greetings, from Death Valley. Photo set is here.
Star trails from Red Rock Canyon National Park. Photo set is here.
Kat at Big Sur. Photo set is here.
I'm back in one piece. Albeit, in San Francisco.
The best adventures that my life offers have been those planned in short notice, or best, the ones that are never planned at all. There remains an irresistible urge to beckon after a calling, a special kind of calling, that can only be found deep within yourself. The rest of the world may think you are crazy, some smirk in bemusement, whilst others shake their heads in worry. Yet at the end of the day, your life is only yours to live and to experience, and I feel that we owe it to ourselves to take that first step and turn wonder and curiosity into something more tangible. Something that you own. And the sense of accomplishment means more than simply reaching your destination, but being able to recount the validity of your experience by really understanding the journey, and each step that you took in order to reach where you are.
A silly red scooter, is only silly when you laugh at it from the other side. And not when you experience what it's really like to get from point A, to point B.
More descriptive updates and pictures to follow. :)


Yes, but it's pretty complicated when you take online figures into account. I mean, what articles are they actually reading? What other sites do they visit?
Here are some online figures that suggest that the BBC is far and away the most influential online news source (with five times the viewing figures of DMG Media, the Daily Mail's parent group).
https://www.theguardian.com/media/gr...ine-news-viewsA survey reveals that the top 10 biggest media publishers are responsible for nearly two-thirds of the news consumed by British people online.
An analysis, based on the desktop and mobile page views in the UK in 2015, shows that they generated 65.1% of the traffic share compared to the next 140 biggest publishers.
And the study, conducted by the digital market intelligence company, SimilarWeb, found that the BBC dominated digital news last year by generating a 30% market share.
The corporationís two sites, bbc.co.uk and bbc.com, secured 18.9bn page views, more than three times the traffic of its nearest competitor, msn.com, with 5.6bn.
In third place was DMG Media, whose sites include Mail Online, generated a 6.6% market share (4.1bn page views). Fourth was Trinity Mirror, which has 31 news sites, and in fifth place was theguardian.com.
In any case, what about the need successive Prime Ministers have felt to pander to Murdoch? They must have considerable influence for politicians to be so eager to suck up to them, no?
Whereas they constantly beat the BBC with a big stick.
I think it's less obvious for print because people will flick through a newspaper from start to finish, whereas I expect they just go direct to articles of interest online.
Anyway, if you mean that online market-share makes up for dwindling print circulation, perhaps it does to an extent (if you're the Daily Mail or the Guardian), but it's not a market dominated by the tabloids.
You can't compare the BBC with newspapers - print or online editions - because it doesn't deal in big, bold, single-message headlines like the tabloids (and often even the broadsheets) do.
Surely if the Leave campaign earlier this year and Trump's candidacy and then election campaign going on right this second have taught us anything, it's that the most effective message is the loudest and simplest? A semi-nuanced article on the 'magazine' section of the BBC News website about EU migrants working as NHS nurses or whatever is as nothing next to a headline in huge black block capitals about TEN MILLION BULGARIANS LINING UP TO STEAL YOUR JOB AND SHIT IN YOUR FRONT GARDEN or whatever.
the mail/sun are pure propaganda/incitement, how useful is it to compare their readership with that of the bbc? it's not 'news' in the same way so they don't influence in the same way, so im not sure a comparison of the numbers can do this conversation justice
Lol at you lot. Why are you letting him lead you by the nose?
some very small circulation publications such as the weekly standard or national review have had substantial impact in the past by pushing out ideology and influencing the political dialogue.
obviously this is slightly different from what you're discussing, since those journals are read by a small number of elites/wonks and not a general consumer audience, but one could argue that aspects of those journals' ideology make their way into general news publications/websites through their influence.
If you've watched game of thrones you know one thing. Power is perception. So that's a starting point. Deny him his premise. That influence is measured in sales figures.
And Corpsey you gestured towards this. Everyone from the prime minister down acts as though rothermere, Dacre, Murdoch are powerful. Turn the question around. Why?

COVID-19 cases remain on the rise in Southside
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said the earliest the state would consider entering Phase II in its reopening process would be this Friday, June 5, but in the Southside, COVID-19 positive numbers still continue to rise.
As of Tuesday morning, June 2, Mecklenburg County reported 218 cases of the virus and 22 deaths. The majority of these cases are stemming from outbreaks at long-term health care facilities.
In Charlotte County, which is part of the Piedmont Health District, the numbers have continued to rise as well, but not to the degree that neighboring Mecklenburg is seeing.
On Tuesday, The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) reported 25 positive cases of COVID-19 in Charlotte County with no deaths.
Halifax County’s caseload was at 30 on Tuesday.
Statewide there are 46,239 cases of COVID-19 as reported by the VDH with a statewide death toll now at 1,407.
The Virginia Hospitals and Healthcare Association reported that more than 6,000 people with the virus had been released from the hospital. The VDH does not report recoveries.
Piedmont Health District Dr. Robert Nash said, “It appears as though Virginia still has increasing case numbers on a daily and weekly basis,” he said. “Therefore, we should not be considering relaxing any mitigation measures at this point.”


The bitcoin (BTC) mining industry is facing a major test of its resilience in the coming months, as several key factors, including the potential approval of a spot BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF), record hashrates, and the impending block reward halving, are set to converge, according to a research report by JPMorgan on Wednesday.
The bank favors mining operators that offer the best relative value in light of their “existing hashrate, operational efficiency, power contracts, funded growth plans and liquidity,” analysts Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce wrote.
What is a Bitcoin Mining ETF?
A spot BTC ETF is a type of ETF that tracks the price of bitcoin directly, as opposed to futures contracts. If approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a spot BTC ETF would be a major milestone for the cryptocurrency industry, as it would provide investors with a more regulated and convenient way to invest in bitcoin.
How could a Spot BTC ETF Impact the Bitcoin Mining Industry?
The approval of a spot BTC ETF could have a significant impact on the bitcoin mining industry. On the one hand, it could lead to a rally in the price of bitcoin, which would boost the profitability of miners. On the other hand, it could also lead to increased competition in the mining industry, as more investors enter the market.
Record Hashrates and Impending Block Reward Halving
The bitcoin mining industry is also facing some challenges. The hashrate, which is a measure of the computing power used to mine bitcoin, has reached record highs. This means that it is becoming more difficult and expensive to mine bitcoin.
Additionally, the bitcoin block reward is scheduled to halve in May 2024. This means that the amount of bitcoin that miners receive for each block that they mine will be reduced by half. This could further reduce the profitability of mining.
JPMorgan favors mining operators that offer the best relative value in light of their “existing hashrate, operational efficiency, power contracts, funded growth plans and liquidity.”
The bank recommends Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA), Riot Blockchain (RIOT), and Bitfarms (BITF). These companies have all invested heavily in mining infrastructure and have strong balance sheets.
The bitcoin mining industry is at a crossroads. The approval of a spot BTC ETF could catalyze a rally, but record hashrates and the impending block reward halving threaten the industry’s revenues and profitability.
Investors who are interested in investing in the bitcoin mining industry should carefully consider the risks and rewards involved. They should also do their research to identify mining operators that offer the best relative value.

Review: Running Straight For Hell In ‘Bitter Root #9’
by Malissa White
Buckle up! ‘Bitter Root #9’ amps up the action (and metaphors) in the fourth installment of the ‘Rage and Redemption’ arc.
While Issue #8 separated the Sangeryes, Issue #9 finds us fighting for survival, but far from safe. The Jinoo of Harlem take to carving mysterious symbols into the ground at the Harlem precinct. Blink and Uncle Enoch, fresh from their treatment at Sweet Pickin’ go in search of aid. In Georgia, a separated Sangerye clan finds themselves converging against the Jinoo in a burning church. And Dr. Sylvester runs from Adro right into his destiny.
Writers David F. Walker and Chuck Brown hit us again with powerful metaphors as nascent today as they were in 1924. In Issue #9 change is a fire, coming whether we’re ready or not. This feels especially true today, and like our characters, it doesn’t matter whether we’re prepared.
Fittingly, Walker and Brown tie Ma Etta’s wisdom into the literal church fire Nora, Ford and Cullen are trapped in. Set by the Jinoo-turned townfolk, the fire also serves as a rallying call for the separated Johnnie-Ray and Berg who join the trio to take on the Jinoo.
I also need to point out Johnnie-Ray’s naivety at the Jinoo’s willingness to burn a church, with his dawning awareness and strengthening allyship. Walker and Brown’s use of fire here works as metaphor, reflection, and call to action done with artistic style few comics can truly bring.
Of course, I can’t escape this ‘Bitter Root’ issue without speaking about colorist Sofie Dodgson. Overall, the color balance is elegant. Dodgson doesn’t allow a single bit of Sanford Greene’s art to go unnoticed. Especially, in a sweeping double page spread in which Greene deftly cuts between action and character perspectives.
It’s an interesting choice for Dodgson to color the Jinoo in pinks that are later cast on Nora, Ford and Cullen. The green of Berg matches the green suited Johnnie-Ray. More than that, the visual metaphors for transformation in Berg/Johnnie-Ray and overwhelming Jinno presence in the trio speak to Dodgson’s mindful, bold work embodying each page.
Of course there are more treats. You’ll just have to find them for yourselves. Published by Image Comics, ‘Bitter Root #9’ is written by David F. Walker and Chuck Brown, Sanford Green provides art with Sofie Dodgson on colors and Clayton Cowles as letterer. Find it on Image Comics, Comixology, or in your local shop.
