Historians of postwar American politics often identify race as a driving force in the dynamically shifting political culture. Joshua Zeitz instead places religion and ethnicity at the fore, arguing that ethnic conflict among Irish Catholics, Italian Catholics, and Jews in New York City had a decisive impact on the shape of liberal politics long before black-white racial identity politics.

I’m excited to feature a dynamic young knitter today! As a designer of adorable knitted toys who is just 15 years old, Cassidy Clark has wowed me with her talent, and after interviewing her, I’m even more charmed. I think you will be too!
You may have seen Cassidy’s designs on Ravelry. If you’re like me, you’re just as impressed by her photography skills as by her knitting.
Read the full interview after the jump!
Anna: You’re a prolific designer by any measure, and at 15 years old, your catalog of designs is especially impressive. How and when did you start designing?
Cassidy: Thanks so much! After the knitting bug hit (quite hard, if I may say) in mid-2009, I altered the patterns I used if I wanted something a tad different. After creating projects from already-made patterns, I started to understand the ins and outs of the craft and began coming up with my own ideas. My yarn stash and various pattern musings could be found all about the house in practically every room, and I’m not known to pick things up!
Anna: You have tons of likes and many projects listed for your designs. How do you spread the word about your patterns?
The Designers Challenge group (check it out!) on Ravelry.com is probably the area in which I most showcase my designs. I’ve also been lucky enough to be a featured designer on Knit Picks’ website. But other than sharing my project pages to groups, I don’t do much else in the way of advertising. I’m thrilled with how far my patterns have gotten.
Anna: My favorite of your designs has to be the rubber chicken. Hilarious! Can you tell me how the idea to knit that came to you? Are you a fan of old slapstick comedies?
It’s a strange story. At my school, we have an original way of welcoming new freshmen to their first year of high school—a game called “Chuck the Chicken”. Without going into all the details, it encompasses throwing rubber chickens, running in circles, and making a fool of oneself. To symbolically show my appreciation for my teachers at the end of that year, I knitted them little rubber chicken ornaments. I think they got a kick out of it!
As for the slapstick comedies, they’re before my time. I generally don’t watch too much TV—I prefer movies and audiobooks!
Anna: The shaping in your King Aroo pattern is really superb. Did you do a lot of sketching and swatching when designing that project, or was it more of a trial-and-error process?
I’m so glad you like it! Just by drawing out what I hope the finished product will look like, I can usually get my design how I want it the first time. When I was first starting out, I was enamored with knitting animals and toys and such (and spent nearly all of my free time doing so) and learned how increases and decreases can be used to make exactly the shape I’m looking for. As in the case of King Aroo, which involved many separate pieces, the limbs and accessories took more time to create in order to get what I was envisioning.
Anna: Since you’re 15, I assume you’re in high school. Do you do any knitting at school, or is it strictly an at-home activity for you? Are many of your friends into knitting too?
I try to carry around a knitting bag around with me at school so I can pull it out during dull parts of class. Although knitting isn’t altogether a “popular” pastime, I do have a few school friends who also enjoy it. We taught a knitting class to elementary school kids before this past winter break, so hopefully we will have increased our school’s knitting population a bit!
Anna: What are your hopes for a future career? Anything in the fiber arts?
As of the moment, I’m interested in far too many things to say for sure what my ideal career would be. Traveling, teaching, reading (can you read for a living?), eating, taking photos, and owning a cranberry farm are among the few I think would be fab. But whether it’s professionally or recreationally, the fiber arts will definitely be included in my future somehow!

Veggie Noodle Soup
My take on a classic Japanese dish, a warm bowl of goodness that doesn't cost a fortune
After spending a lovely amount of time in Japan, I got to taste the worlds best Ramen. Japanese cooking is truly delicious, using fantastic ingredients and fresh produce. Some of these lovely ingredients you can get in the UK and unfortunately right now, there is some that we can't.
So I thought I would create a healthy version that is plant based, where all the ingredients are easy to get in the supermarkets. So here it is, a warm bowl of goodness paying homage to my Japanese adventures.
How to make Veggie Noodle Soup...
Serves 5 Preparation: 15 minutes Cooking: 15 minutes
225g of Noodles (i used rice noodles as that's what was available)
5 florets of broccoli
10 green beans
2 large mushrooms
140g of tofu
Handful of assorted cabbage (optional)
Handful of sweetcorn
100g of miso paste
1 veggie stock cube
1.5L of water
5 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tbsp of chili powder
1 tbsp of paprika
1 tbsp of onion powder
1 tbsp of garlic
2 tbsp of sesame oil
1. Prepare your veggies, chop up your mushrooms into slices, top and tail the green beans and cut them in half, chop the carrot into sticks, cube the tofu and cut your brocolli into smaller pieces.
2. Start by placing a 1tbsp of sesame oil in a pan, heating up the pan over a medium heat. Add all your miso paste to the pan, warm up the miso paste to bring out the flavour. Once you can smell the miso paste, its time to add your water in. Mix together and bring to the boil.
3. Once your miso has boiled, add in the garlic powder, onion powder, chilli powder, paprika, soy sauce, veggie stock cube, the rest of your sesame oil and salt and pepper. Mix this through then turn your broth down to a low heat and add in your mushrooms. Cook on a low heat for a further 10 minutes.
4. While your broth simmers away, check the package recommendations for your noodles. Add them to your broth and allow them to cook for the recommended time
5. It's time now to prepare your vegetables and tofu. In a frying pan, add a tbsp of olive oil and warm the pan over a medium heat. Add in your tofu and cook until golden. Set the tofu aside in a dish.
6. Next add in the carrot, beans, broccoli and assorted greens, fry them until they are soft. You can add a tbsp of soy sauce here if you wish to give your veggies an extra bit of flavor.
7. Now its time to plate up your noodle soup. First add your both into your bowl with your mushrooms and noodles, then begin adding your toppings. I added a little sweetcorn, then my crispy tofu and finally my veggies. Finish off with a drizzle of sesame oil.
There you have it, a simple noodle soup in just 30 minutes. Really hope you like this one, its a little way for me to connect with the wonderful food from Japan just with a twist, using lots of lovely ingredients that are availble in the supermarkets.
Hope you like it, lots of love, G x

SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Both the Aloe Vera and Avocado lipsticks moisturise and adjust to your body's PH levels, altering their pigment and change from GREEN to PINK - so no need to worry about that!
The difference lies with you - more specifically, your lips!
If you have particularly dry or damaged lips, the linoleic acid, oleic acid, and other monosaturated fatty acids in avocado oil can speed up the healing process.
If you’re looking to maintain already healthy lips, while adding a splash of colour and wow factor, then why not try the Aloe?

How COVID-19 has rendered facilities managers indispensable
How can you send students back to a bustling college campus and keep them safe? How can you re-open gyms while maintaining proper COVID-19 protocols? How can offices safely reopen without disrupting the business? These are the questions that facilities managers must grapple with as COVID-19 continues to change the way the world operates. The enduring global pandemic is highlighting a crucial issue in many company’s boardrooms: facilities managers don’t have a seat at the table. However, many businesses, need facilities managers in order to operate.
Facilities managers must be allowed to step into crisis leadership roles and then retain permanent, strategic leadership positions in their organizations.
Shifting the facilities perspective
Facilities Management (FM) departments are often categorized as cost centers rather than strategic partners. Constrained by reactive maintenance and costly repairs, FMs have a huge opportunity to contribute value to the organization. Through proactive maintenance, energy management, and sustainability, FMs are able to save firms money while keeping occupants safe.
As local regulations allow for the gradual reopening of businesses, building occupants are starting to recognize just how critical their facilities teams are. While the CEO or company president may be the more vocal, front-facing figure of the company, the engineers working tirelessly behind the scenes are the ones making spaces safer.
Adapting to COVID-19
Beyond just getting a seat at the proverbial table, FM teams need to have their recommendations earnestly heard and adopted. While every facility, be it a hospital, grocery store, or gym, seems to have a different set of best practices for limiting the potential spread of COVID-19, there are only a few methods that facilities professionals truly endorse as best practices.
Air filtration – Though science is still catching up to the virus, it is best known that COVID-19 is transmitted through viral droplets which can be airborne. This means that a densely crowded office space is a highly conducive? environment for viral transmission. A 2016 analysis of various global research papers found that roughly 16 percent of flu transmission takes place in the office. The cost and logistics of getting a proper air filtration system that would be capable of pulling viral particles out of the air are prohibitive, so proper ventilation is a preferred mitigation strategy.
Ventilation – This is a simpler, though less comfortable option than air filtration. However, for ventilation to be effective in minimizing viral transmission, 100% ventilation is required. That means opening all doors, windows, and dampers to allow full ventilation. This means building occupants will likely be very uncomfortable in the hot and cold weather months, and there’s a risk to equipment (such as that found in call centers) that needs to be kept at a steady, cool temperature.
Adjusting operations – if air filtration and 100% ventilation aren’t realistic, then major adjustments will have to be made to how businesses operate in enclosed spaces. This may mean closing common spaces, staggering schedules, and only allowing a limited number of people in a designated facility at a given time.
While the path remains unclear, one thing is for certain: Facilities Managers are critical to the process. Institutions that open too quickly or without proper precautions may face serious consequences down the road. If it becomes clear that profits were put ahead of occupant safety, firms could suffer in terms of financial loss as well as loss of reputation. If Facilities Managers are treated as strategic partners and consulted every step of the way, it results in a safer environment for all.

"Functional" foods are poised to become the hottest trend in food marketing, but labeling remains an unresolved issue. The Food and Drug Administration says it is working on regulations for these loosely defined products that claim to offer a health benefit beyond basic nutrition, but offers no timetable.
Bombarded by more than 100ꯠ comments and a request from Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Tom Harkin (D-IA), the Food and Drug Administration extended the comment period and will further review its proposed labeling regulations for dietary supplements.

The tradition of the superhero crossover/team-up in comics was established in 1940 by Marvel’s Human Torch and Sub-Mariner, though MLJ’s Wizard and Shield were the first heroes to actually work as friends, not as — OH, WHO CARES, THAT ARROW/FLASH FIGHT WAS SPECTACULAR.
Everything about “Flash vs. Arrow” was on the money because it wasn’t simply a collision of heroes, it was a collision of worlds. The vigilante Oliver Queen, a.k.a. Arrow (star of his own CW series, now in its third year), didn’t just drop by Central City; he brought his own “dark retribution” modus operandi with him, and his presence in the story actually advanced Barry and his supporting cast as characters, forcing them to re-think and re-evaluate their own methods. (I wrote Flash adventures for the better part of a decade, and it never occurred to me that a speedster could stack the deck in any fight just by showing up early enough to case the venue at super-speed.)
There was just so much smart writing on the screen: the big brother/little brother dynamic between Arrow and Flash, the gravity of Oliver’s presence giving Barry a little more weight, the remarkable lack of contrivance to the whole team-up and ensuing battle. The only moment that felt a little too tongue-in-cheek was seeing Dr. Wells and Joe West slide up to in their Mystery Van to settle the fight with their Anti-Rage Machine, but it’s not like I have a better solution in mind. Plus, I’m willing to be less plot-critical when my inner 10-year-old is still buzzing.
In the comics, Barry and Ollie were allies but never friends. They served together on the Justice League during a time in DC publishing where everyone on that team had an interchangeable voice and one-dimensional, white-hat personality. More recently, writer Tom Peyer and I did a post-classic turn on Barry and Ollie in a comic called The Brave and the Bold, where we played up the natural tension between Green Arrow (comics’ original left-wing activist) and the Flash, a Midwestern cop. It made for a good comic, but it didn’t leave anywhere for their relationship to go. The TV dynamic is a lot less dead-end; Oliver as a sage, cool-headed mentor isn’t something I’d ever envisioned, but it’s a good fit. Hell, they worked together so well that they caught the villain during the commercial break. I’ll be tuning in tonight to see the second part of this team-up on Arrow; if it’s half as enjoyable as tonight’s Flash was, it’ll be time well spent.
Flash Facts (a.k.a. Easter Eggs):
Roy G. Bivolo (I know), code-named Rainbow Raider (I said I know, leave me alone, I just work here), was created by writer Cary Bates and artist Don Heck in Flash #286 (1980). Yes, both Roy’s puntastic civilian name and his nom du crime are too precious by a thousandfold, but comics has a long tradition of conveniently named arch-foes: Julian Day/Calendar Man. Bertram Larvan/Bug-Eyed Bandit. Victor von Doom/Dr. Doom. Did you know that The Riddler’s real name is E(dward) Nigma? You don’t give your kid a name like that and then expect him to pursue a career in air conditioner repair.
The weird weapon that brought Arrow’s crew to town heralds the arrival of another Flash rogue, Digger “Captain Boomerang” Harkness (created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino in Flash #117, 1960). All my life, I’ve never quite understood how a guy armed with boomerangs can be a serious threat, but I just saw a guy with a bow and arrow lay a smackdown on the fastest man alive, so I’ll reserve judgment.
And while he wasn’t outright named, I can’t imagine the flaming man at episode’s end wasn’t our first glimpse at the long-promised Firestorm, who we’ve discussed previously.

text: As usual, the style--rather than the plot--is the primary pleasure in this infectious new outing for Flaxborough's Inspector Purbright. . . who finds suspicious doings when he attends the funeral of ""Rich Dick"" Loughbury, lord of the Manor House at Mumblesby. To start with, Loughbury's brassy common-law widow has been locked in her bedroom, and someone has set a fire nearby. Furthermore, the Manor House seems to be teeming with art treasures--most of which were previously owned by Loughbury's neighbors. And Inspector P., with the customary assist from naughty, worldly Miss Lucilla Teatime, begins to suspect the late Mr. L. of blackmail--with connections to the somewhat bygone ""suicide"" of the widely promiscuous Mrs. Bernadette Croll. No great shakes as a mystery, then, but the comic characterizations--from the coarsely merry widow to a raunchy old pub-lecher--are grand; the wry narration is hilariously florid but never too arch; and this is vintage Watson drollery overall, required reading for devotees of fey/ribald, English-village doings.

“The United Outcomes team fully integrated with our teams – they helped ensure Open Water was a success.”
The unique challenge
In April 2017 the UK business and non-household water market underwent its biggest shake-up since privatisation in 1989 – Open Water.
Businesses and non-households were, for the first time, free to choose their water supplier from a range of companies across the country, no longer restricted by region.
For Thames Water, Open Water presented a step-change – an opportunity to reach customers across the UK.
More pressingly, the opportunity presented a challenge: to divert from Thames’ regional past and rebuild its processes and IT systems for a sustainable, national future.
Tools & thinking
Preparing for the Open Water programme was always going to be a demanding task for the UK’s water companies, but for a business that supplies 15 million customers (27% of the UK’s population) making it the largest water services company in the country, this was a doubly challenging task.
United Outcomes partnered with Thames to deliver a diagnostic of the programme – what were the benefits, what were the pitfalls, and where were the risks.
It became clear throughout this diagnostic that preparing for the Open Water programme was going to be a major change initiative for the business.
The headlines of our diagnostic were:-
- Siloed business units needed to work together – workshops engaged teams across the business, mapping interdependencies on a matrix across workstreams rather than business units. The Open Water programme would affect all teams at Thames and the approach needed to be unified.
- Business built to work as a regional operator – in particular, data management reflected this. Improved data governance, driven by a specific Data workstream, would provide greater visibility of legacy data issues and improved data capture as a result, would expand Thames’ ability to provide for their customers wherever they are.
- Improved knowledge transfer – best practice in one department should be mirrored in others, and knowledge transfer should be the necessary final step of any process improvement. By developing template artefacts and reusable methodologies for improved governance, Thames could use them to become better at knowledge sharing techniques and implement continuous improvement as part of Business as Usual.
Success is never a straight line
As with all engagements, not everything goes 100% to plan.
Thames’ business as usual involved running a high number of programmes run independently of each other, and firefighting within these programmes swallowed much of stakeholders’ time.
United Outcomes developed the dependency matrix mentioned above to enhance collaboration across workstreams.
This work in particular was crucial to enabling effective risk and issue management, allowing the teams to maintain a focus on delivery of the Open Water programme and drive the project toward success.
Building positive relationships is at the heart of fostering successful transformation.
When business units engage in a silo mentality, they are 37% less likely to share resources or ideas with their colleagues in other business units.
Working in isolation, in short, prevents natural cross-pollination of best practice.
From the beginning of the engagement we promoted collaboration across business units, bringing team members together in a series of workshops.
Emphasising a workstream, or issues-based strategy, United Outcomes developed an atmosphere of issue sharing; colleagues in a variety of business units faced the same concerns, and by sharing them within their themed workstreams they developed shared solutions.
The development of cross-unit relationships within Thames has proven invaluable to the continued success of the Open Water programme and the business as a whole.
We are now helping Thames Water implement our suggested improvements and build their own capability to continue to build solutions internally.

Rondom Unsuk Chin
Unsuk Chin was inspired by the street, Pierre-Laurent Aimard plays a 'classic' by György Ligeti and a new piece by Thomas van Dun has its premiere in the Royal Concertgebouw.
Unsuk Chin and the city
In 2008 and 2009, Unsuk Chin visited Hong Kong and Guangzhou. The atmosphere of the old residential areas with their narrow, winding alleys, marketplaces and food vendors reminded her of the Seoul of her youth, where itinerant street performers created a buzz with dance and music. In Gougalōn , Chin transformed those memories into a theatrical score, in which she has the ensemble play for a poor street orchestra. The percussionists use empty bottles and tin cans, among other things. Chin was also inspired by the street for her chamber orchestra work Graffiti . In the three-part work for chamber orchestra, layers of sound overlap like tags and pieces in a graffiti painting.
Pierre-Laurent Aimard plays Ligeti
Chin's teacher György Ligeti produces the masterful Piano Concerto , with none other than Ligeti specialist Pierre-Laurent Aimard as soloist. Asko|Schönberg opens with a new piece by the young Dutch composer and songwriter Thomas van Dun. His plans? At the time of writing, these are still in the future.

EC: Power Xpert Insight monitoring software
Power Xpert Insight is a power and energy monitoring software that can help industrial facilities proactively reduce energy consumption, control costs, and improve reliability by providing a comprehensive, real-time view into power and energy information.
In addition to real-time monitoring, the software allows users to view and compare trends from any number of channels across all devices. With the click of the mouse, users can generate bar charts or line graphs from the collected data, and configure data collection parameters over time to meet the needs of evolving energy management programs. That energy data can then be downloaded as a CSV-format file for deeper analysis.
These features help identify equipment or system issues before major problems occur and aid in troubleshooting or diagnosing reasons for equipment or system failures afterward. The data can also help ease decisions related to budget planning, capital equipment replacement or expansion, and production and operations scheduling.
Longer-term benefits allow users to develop and maintain energy budgets, extend equipment life through proactive maintenance, and reduce energy costs through the identification of the most power-hungry loads.
The product was first launched in April 2013. A March 2014 upgrade built upon these features with enhanced alarm notification and advanced building integration capabilities, as well as tools for simplified setup and commissioning.
The update included the Power Xpert Notify system, an integrated program that provides email notification of pre-configured alarms to help users remotely address potential power system issues before they result in unplanned downtime.
An enhanced Modbus protocol adapter was engineered into the software to strengthen communications with equipment from a variety of manufacturers. Providing a more unified view into building status, the upgraded protocol adapter can ease integration into building management systems for seamless and comprehensive oversight of facility energy consumption.

Rogue members of the JCF who’re working with criminals are undermining the efforts of the force to fight crime in St. James.
That’s the assessment of former Police Commissioner, Rear Admiral Hardley Lewin.
Admiral Lewin was speaking today with on Cliff Hughes Online on Power 106. He says his assessment is supported by “historical facts.”
He says the Police should place more focus on infiltrating criminals networks.
Meanwhile, Admiral Hardley Lewin, is calling for a radical overhaul of the command structure of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, JCF.
He says there are too many senior officers in the Force relative to the number of police officers.
He says the problems in the Constabulary Force cannot be corrected through reforms because they are too down the tube.

The jury is still out, however, given that any suspicion related to pain, swelling, or other symptoms will usually result in systematic removal of implants rather than lengthy investigations.
Rather than a clear rupture, a "perspiring" implant, where gel slowly leaks through the porous membrane, is the most common problem that surgeons report, according to Dr. Corinne Balleyguier, head of breast imaging in the department of radiology at the Institut Gustave Roussy (IGR)in Villejuif, France.
"Perspiration can't be confirmed or assessed by ultrasound, but it accounts for 60% of problems related to defective implants," she commented. "Ultrasound may depict a slight fluid slick around the implant, but this might be normal breast fluid or perspiring gel."
Top and bottom: Two breast MRI examinations acquired with a silicone dedicated sequence. Silicone gel appears bright, and fat and glandular tissue are dark. In cases of perspiration or rupture, an amount of bright fluid is seen outside of the implant (arrows), which facilitates diagnosis. Perspiration was not diagnosed on ultrasound in these two cases. Images courtesy of Dr. Corinne Balleyguier.
In research involving 270 implants removed at the IGR, MRI with dedicated silicone sequences was helpful in diagnosis of perspiration. In the 93 perspiring implants, 43 out of 49 ultrasound exams were normal, with six false positives for rupture. Sixteen MRI examinations were also performed on the 93 perspiring implants. Seven out of nine MRI exams showed perspiration because MRIs were acquired with silicone sequences; five out of seven MRI exams were normal, but these MRIs were acquired without silicone sequences.
Out of the 270 removed implants, there were 13 ruptures. Ultrasound was available for 12 of these, with six yielding normal imaging results and six abnormal. Only one MRI exam was available, and it was abnormal.
Because silicone was banned in France for many years, radiologists are not necessarily trained in imaging techniques for best depicting silicone implants, according to Dr. Anne Tardivon, breast imaging specialist in the department of radiology at the Curie Institute in Paris.
Where there are suspicious clinical symptoms but normal or equivocal ultrasound results, MRI may be used as a second line investigative tool. Access to MRI is problematic for French patients because there are proportionally fewer MRI units in France than in neighboring countries, such as Spain, Italy, and Belgium. A request for its inclusion in diagnosis depends largely on the discretion of the individual surgeon or clinician.
"French radiologists are better at performing ultrasound than they are MRI, and ultrasound will usually answer most questions. Given the high numbers of patients involved, using MRI highly selectively is a good compromise," she said, pointing to few diagnoses of implant abnormalities by MRI at the Curie Institute.
Tardivon has seen some of the hospital's 900 patients with PIP implants following surgery for breast cancer.
"We have simply added bi-yearly ultrasound and clinical examination to the yearly mammography. For patients with implants for cosmetic reasons, the follow-up may seem more burdensome. These women may be more likely to opt for surgery, to avoid the anxiety of 'waiting' for a rupture, or the risk of false negatives from ultrasound," noted Tardivon, who senses the French government would prefer all PIP implants to be removed over time, given its funding approval for explantation in all women who request it.
Using MRI highly selectively is a good compromise, according to Dr. Anne Tardivon.
Because the gel is locally aggressive, extracapsular rupture yields early and clear clinical signs such as pain and swelling, which are easy to spot on ultrasound. Axillary lymph nodes must also be checked by ultrasound for siliconoma in case the implant is only slightly compromised, leading to slow leakage or a "perspiring" capsule, which does not give any clear clinical symptoms or radiological evidence in breast ultrasound, she explained.
After explantation in asymptomatic patients, some surgeons have reported that their gloves bore traces of silicone gel, showing the imaging to be a false negative for leaks, according to Tardivon.
Following December's meeting between the French Ministry of Health, National Cancer Institute (INCa) and the national agency for medical devices (AFSSAPS), the government announced its official strategy 12 months after the first alerts of detective implants were released to the medical community.
Asymptomatic women with PIP implants may choose to have them removed free-of-charge or undergo six-monthly clinical and ultrasound examinations, to be funded indefinitely by the French government. For those who opt for surgery, only breast cancer patients will benefit from free replacement implants.
The French authorities maintain that while PIP implants seem to present no extra risk of causing breast cancer or lymphoma, there is an increased risk of rupture, estimated at 5%, compared to the industry standard of 1-2%. Meanwhile, doctors are creating an imaging and histological database to gather as much information as possible for prospective studies on associated cancer risks as well as local complications in women who undergo surgery and in those that choose to keep their implants.
Both Tardivon and Balleyguier were members of the expert panel at December's multistakeholder meeting, which helped shape the recommendations of AFSSAPS and the Ministry of Health.
Nobody has yet estimated the cost to the French health budget of imaging follow-up or surgical removal of the implants in the 30,000 French women affected. Ultrasound costs nearly 42 Euros per examination, and indefinite bi-yearly imaging will prove costly, as will systematic surgical removal. An initial 5,000 surgical interventions have been -- or are planned to be -- performed, and the remainder may be carried out over the coming years.

Release Date: January 22, 2019 Cover Design: Najla Qamber Designs
Anyone who was absolutely anyone knew the story of how Julie Anne Baptiste’s parents met: the blue-blood Union cavalry officer and the freedwoman on her way North fell madly in love at first sight, all in the midst of the Civil War. It was legendary within New York City’s Four Hundred, and from girlhood, Julie daydreamed of her finding own true love match. But now, as a well-seasoned debutante of twenty-one years, Julie only dreams of teaching and much prefers the vibrant world of her books over the company of society’s most eligible bachelors.
However, always the dutiful daughter, Julie performs the role of affluent debutante until she realizes all of her tomorrows have horrifyingly become occupied by a gamut of social engagements, and they will remain so until she marries. Desperate and knowing only a wedding will put a stop to the madness of living as a debutante, Julie does the unthinkable: she responds to a mail order advert in the Heart and Hand Matrimonial Times. No longer a girl fantasizing of love, Julie did not anticipate forming a genuine romantic connection with the man she corresponds with, but when ex-Union soldier Forrest Wickes proposes she readily accepts. All seems well until the society pages intercept one of her letters and within the hour all of New York knows of Julie’s decision to become a mail-order bride.
In fact, the New York City society pages don’t know they only reported half the truth about Julie Baptiste. The debutante intends to marry not only Forrest Wickes but also his best friend, William Barnes. Her secret of taking two husbands safe, Julie sets out for the Montana Territory before the papers can learn the truth. But how will a debutante-turned-teacher manage frontier life with two husbands? Doubts loom and Julie wrestles with how to tell her family the truth about her marriage. And then there’s the vivacious young widow who enjoys a close friendship with Will, who maliciously hints that all is not as it appears to be with Julie’s husbands.
In the midst of trying to help his best friend get his girl, Charlie was hit by cupid’s arrow, twice. He finds himself the perfect girl to bring home and a spare he wasn’t expecting.
Avery has never wanted the American Dream. She knows who and what she wants, and right now, it’s freedom and Amber. That is until these two tornadoes get a call from their best friend that turns both their lives upside down.
A wild ride of sex, love, and tequila teaches them that there is more to love than boy meets girl. Sometimes you have to get a little creative to find your happily ever after.
My Life of Crime, Murder, Missing People and such! Above all else, never forget the victim, that the victim lived, had a life and was loved. The victim and their loved ones deserve justice, as does society.

Whooping Cough: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment
Whooping cough, or Pertussis, is a highly contagious and severe infection which affects the respiratory tract. It’s caused by a bacterium known as Bordetella Pertussis.
How does someone get whooping cough?
A child may contract whooping cough by coming in direct contact with bacteria through secretions from the mouth or nose of an infected person, by directly touching this with their hands. They may also contract the illness by inhaling air droplets expelled by an infected person, usually when coughed or sneezed.
Who suffers from Whooping cough?
Whooping cough is typically present in babies under the age of twelve months, and children aged five to nine years of age.
However, this condition can affect anyone who lives in close proximity to an infected person. The majority of hospitalisations and deaths occur to children under the age of six months.
Once infected, it may take several months of proper treatment to completely recover from whooping cough. If not properly treated, children are at risk of developing serious complication such as pneumonia, fits, apnoea, brain damage and even death.
What are the signs and symptoms of whooping cough?
Initially, a person suffering from whooping cough goes through symptoms similar to the common cold including sore throat, sneezing, and fatigue. Later, symptoms usually associated with whooping cough become prominent, such as episodes of a severe cough, with the signature “whooping” sound during inhalation, which can often lead to the baby vomiting. The patient might also suffer from periods of lack of oxygen, and therefore turn blue.
How is whooping cough diagnosed?
Apart from the signs and symptoms, another way to diagnose whooping cough is to gather a sample of the secretions from the nose and mouth of the patient, and examine it for the presence of Bordetella Pertussis.
What is the treatment for Whooping cough?
Patients suffering from whooping cough are prescribed antibiotics, like azithromycin, to treat their condition. To be most effective, the antibiotics need to be given within the first 21 days of the general symptoms appearing, or the first two weeks of the cough.
Medication such as Paracetamol can also be administered to help treat symptoms of the diseases, like fever.
Those who come into close contact with an infected child may also need to take antibiotics to prevent infection, especially those at high risk of complications. This includes the elderly, anyone who works with young children, pregnant women, anyone with a suppressed immunity, or those with asthma.
How to prevent whooping cough?
Anyone with a weakened immune system such as babies, adults who work with babies and pregnant women are at a high risk of contracting whooping cough. Such individuals should be immunised against whooping cough when required to prevent the spread, as it’s a highly infectious disease which can transmit easily from one person to another.
Vaccination remains the most effective way to control whooping cough in Australia. Booster dose vaccinations are recommended to adults every ten years.
· Pregnant women should receive a Pertussis vaccination in their third trimester for each pregnancy as part of the National Immunisation Program Schedule. For each child, the vaccine is funded for:
o Infants aged 2 months
o Children aged 18 months
o Children aged 4 years
o Year 7 student booster dose
· In infants less than six months of age, whooping cough can be severe or life threatening. Seek urgent medical attention if your child’s lips or skin go blue, or if they have breathing difficulties associated with coughing


Fingernail Imaging for Touch Force Measurement
Stephen Mascaro, Associate Professor, University of Utah
Friday, May 2, 2014
Durham Language and Literature Building (LL) 2, Tempe Campus [map]
It has been demonstrated that the color pattern of the human fingernail changes in a predictable manner when the fingertip is pressed against a surface. This phenomenon was first exploited by Mascaro and Asada, who created photoplethysmograph fingernail sensors as a non-obtrusive means of measuring fingertip touch force. Since that time, Mascaro’s fingernail sensing research has diverged into two parallel efforts: 1) developing stretchable circuit technology that will improve the wearability of fingernail sensors, and 2) developing a system for imaging the fingernails with videocameras, which eliminates the need for any wearable technology.
This talk will present an overview of Mascaro’s work on fingernail sensing, with particular focus on recent work in fingernail imaging. Challenges including image registration and fingernail tracking will be discussed, as well as automated calibration for touch force prediction, which involves using a high-fidelity haptic interface to apply forces to the human fingertip. Results from full 3-D force magnitude prediction will be presented. By extending force prediction to multiple fingers, we can achieve totally unconstrained measurement of human grasp forces, with applications to robotics, rehabilitation and human-machine interaction.
Mascaro will also give a brief overview of other projects in his Biorobotics Lab, including bioinspired robot muscles, human finger kinematics and omnidirectional force-feedback joysticks.
Stephen A. Mascaro received a bachelor’s degree in physics from Houghton College, Houghton, NY, and a second bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Clarkson University, Potsdam, NY, both in 1995. He received his master’s and doctoral degrees in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, in 1997 and 2002, respectively. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, where he joined in 2005. His research interests include robotics and control, system dynamics, human-machine interaction, haptics, and bioinspired actuation. Mascaro received the Best Paper Award at the 1999 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation for his original work on fingernail sensors. His current research on fingernail imaging is supported by the National Science Foundation through the National Robotics Initiative. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society.

While some are more festive than others, each of these games embraces the holiday spirit in its own way. Whether they’re directly about Christmas or just set during the festive period, they use all the imagery and themes you could ask for from a Christmas game.
Alone in the Dark 2
You might think the scariest part of the holiday season is shopping, but you’d be wrong. While the franchise has had trouble expanding onto modern consoles, the second Alone in the Dark game is still one of the best horror games of the period. It doesn’t make the holiday central to the plot the way other games on this list do, but it sees investigator Edward Carnby solving a murder on Christmas Day, making it perfect for those who want something a bit different from the holiday.
Batman: Arkham Origins
Christmas has been a running theme in the Batman universe for generations, so it is no surprise that they set a video game during the Christmas period. While it isn’t our all-time favorite Batman game, Batman: Arkham Origins makes good use of the holiday setting to highlight the grim world that Batman inhabits. Seeing Batman and Bane face off against each other in the wintery backdrop is a beautiful set piece.
If you thought angels and demons took the holidays off, think again. This sequel starts with everyone’s favorite Umbra Witch finishing off her Christmas shopping only to have to stop a celestial invasion. Like the rest of the series, Bayonetta 2 is a fun, tongue-in-cheek take on the subject matter and is one of the most fun Christmas games you will ever play.
Dead Rising 4
We’re sure there is an allegory there between the waves of undead and Christmas shopping, but we were having too much fun with the series’ famous improvised weapon system to notice. Christmas songs are playing as you slaughter zombies with anything you can get your hands on, so what else could you want for the holiday season? There is no better way to get into the festive spirit.
Duke Nukem: Nuclear Winter
This one is an add-on rather than a full game, but it is still lots of fun to take control of Duke Nukem as he quips his way through the North Pole. Many of the series’ classic enemies have been reskinned for Christmas, allowing Duke to blow up evil snowmen and even Santa himself. It is silly fun, but that has always been what Duke Nukem did best.
Considering how deadly serious the game’s protagonist is, Agent 47 will take any excuse to spread a little Christmas cheer. Several missions in the games have a Christmas theme to them, but Holiday Hoarders is the one that embraces it the most. Dressing up as Santa to get close to his target might not be everyone’s idea of a feel-good holiday, but it is just an extra incentive not to get on his Naughty List this year.
Not everyone wants to be festive during the holiday season. Some people want to bring that Halloween vibe right through to the end of the year, which is where Parasite Eve comes in. The game opens on Christmas Eve and mostly takes place during that wonderful period between Christmas and New Year when the days all melt together, and we’ve all eaten a touch too much each day.
Saints Row 4: How The Saints Saved Christmas
What else is there to do when your series has elevated its hero to the role of President of the United States and had him use his superpowers to overthrow alien invaders? You send him and the other Saints into a computer simulation to save Santa Claus. Like the best parts of the series, this is a silly game that manages to embrace many Christmas traditions while also subverting them. The Saints Row series is at its best when it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that is on full display here.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Another superhero offering, this time on the Marvel side of things. The Miles Morales semi-sequel to 2018’s Spider-Man saw the younger web-slinger tackling a plot to destroy the city while also trying to spend Christmas with his friends and family. Insomniac’s recreation of Christmas in New York is stunning and worth playing just for those quests that take advantage of the seasonal sights and sounds.
The Escapists: Santa’s Sweatshop
Christmas might be all fun and games for us, but it is a lot of hard work for Santa’s elves. It is no surprise that they might start planning an escape. In this add-on for The Escapists, you help the workers in Santa’s workshop break out and escape the festive tyranny once and for all. It is a unique Christmas game that plays with the usual formula of holiday cheer effectively.

Florida’s Board of Education is expected to ratify a civics education rule change that will ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory in K-12 classrooms, but before that they’ll hear once more from the public.
MacClenny Elementary School in bucolic Baker County will host a listening tour event Wednesday evening, starting at 6 p.m. To be discussed: changes in standards.
The proposal will ban defining American history as “something other than the creation of a new nation based largely on universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence.” Teachers’ apparent efforts “to indoctrinate or persuade students to a particular point of view” will also be banned.
The meeting location tells a story of its own, meanwhile.
Though Baker County abuts Duval County and Jacksonville, it demographically resembles its rural neighbors to the west, and resists change. A mural in the county courthouse that depicted a Ku Klux Klan member was controversial years ago, and remains controversial to this day.
It was highly unlikely that the local school board would consider adopting the principles of Critical Race Theory, which contends that race as a social construct is used as a means of regimented oppression. But less than 24 hours before the final vote, Baker County citizens will have the final say from the public regarding standards that will affect all 67 counties.
Should they show up, that is.
A writeup from the Florida Phoenix suggests that attendance has fizzled at these confabs, which have included staffers and PowerPoints, and sparse representation from the public.
“I think it was intentionally done this way. I don’t think they want public comment,” a union leader from South Florida groused.
The Florida Education Association is balking at the proposed rule change, urging a study of more topics than the proposed rules change, including slavery, the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow.
“Students deserve the best education we can provide, and that means giving them a true picture of their world and our shared history as Americans. Hiding facts doesn’t change them. Give kids the whole truth and equip them to make up their own minds and think for themselves,” said FEA President Andrew Spar.
But the deal is likely done.
“Next week, I have my Commissioner of Education going to the Board of Education banning it … banning any departure from accurate history and following our standards. This is something we’ve got to stay on the forefront of,” DeSantis said on Fox News last weekend.
DeSantis also vowed to get his “political apparatus involved” in defeating candidates who deviate from the soon-to-be-official position.

“Was the location orchestrated?”
Are “rural voices” somehow less truthful in their opinions, less well-informed, less reasonable, ore more tendentious than, say, urban voices? Is this sort of discrimination between rural and urban one of those–what was your phrase–“social constructs” that are used as a means of regimented oppression? Tell me, A.G., are rural Floridians, well let’s face, insufficiently intellectual to have a valid opinion about race? Don’t we just love rhetorical questions, though?
June 9, 2021 at 8:00 am
Another biased and liberal posting by AJ – our very own “Poindexter”. Disparaging people in the panhandle – is pure jackassery not journalism. You should be ashamed.
June 9, 2021 at 2:10 pm
History is always written by the winning side , right or wrong. The history I learned about the world back in the day has proven to be pure fabrication. Programming and mind manipulation is key to controlling the narrative.
June 9, 2021 at 6:23 pm
Baker county is also a good place to sell confederate flags. And Charles, unless you are a carpetbagging Yankee, no offense, you’d know the panhandle is in the other direction.

It can be a very slippery slope: There is a fine line when considering the modern workplace plus the traveling employee and how the work comp insurance providers perceive these workers. Some of these issues have been mentioned at The Traveling Employee.
The creator of this post gets straight to the point: If an injury occurs to an employee that was breaking the law during the accident, then will the insurance company be responsible for the medical treatment reimbursements?
Specifically, this question arises from the challenges facing the responsibility of whom will pay when employees use their cellular phones illegally. Most importantly, who is responsible while traveling in a vehicle outside the normal space of the office walls and obtains injuries from an accident stemming from breaking the law. This claim has a ninety nine percent chance of being denied from the work comp insurance carrier provider.
It can easily be anticipated that insurance providers are constantly changing policy provisions to cover their positions. Again, one can almost guarantee that claims including injuries due to negligent actions that are illegal will be promptly denied many a time. Experienced Worker’s Compensation Physicians can assist. This is worth commenting below.
I was reviewing another worker’s compensation article that made a few great points. The posting at Washington and Business Costs should increase one’s concerns.
After businesses lobbied the DLI, which is the Department of Labor and Industries, they have considered a rate hike of no more than eight percent. It’s easy to suspect that the businesses being referred to in the article are insurance companies. The Labor groups take as much action as they can against the “Businesses” and the lawmakers with no success.
Among some of the changes other than increased rates include decreased payout amounts and lower settlements. If rates are increasing then why are the payouts decreasing? The only one that seems to be negatively affected is the injured worker. When an employee is injured at work, their income instantly drops sometimes by half. Now just imagine this extra burden. Who’s lobbying for the future injured? Nobody! It’s been mentioned many times, the representatives in the House look like they’re merely “Playing House”. Although Washington should be ashamed, there are still a few Work Comp Specialists and Physicians in your area.
Many are talking about the recent case in which a Florida judge awarded an illegal immigrant worker's compensation benefits even though the worker is an illegal alien. The on the job injury occurred at a construction company early last year. Lawmakers Concerned About Work Comp Case is just one of the articles that one could find explaining some of the details of this awkward case.
A panel of of three judges from the First District Court of Appeals found that the illegal worker, Luis Aragon, was entitled to the benefits that normal citizens would obtain after an on the job injury. The judges thought process was that it was the only right thing to do. The judges contend that the insurance company should pay for the medical care instead of the taxpayers amid unreimbursed medical treatment.
Many of Florida's state representatives disagree with the crazy decision including Ritch Workman. He believes, like most, that the insurance company should recoup all expenses involved in this case from the construction company. Sure, it's only a misdemeanor to hire an illegal immigrant in Florida but it should be a felony for both the employer and the employee. It is against the law to be an illegal alien. Florida has more strict laws than other states due to problems like these. Some suggest that the business license be revoked from the construction company or any other businesses that hire those that break the law right in front of your face without concern. Who would want to hire someone with these qualities and characteristics in the first place regardless of low wages?
To make things worse and to strain the court system furthermore, the lower court judge with all his pseudo wisdom awarded this same illegal alien permanent total disability benefits on a continuous basis because he felt that the law breaker was going to have great difficulty obtaining another job due to the lack of the English language. Are you kidding me? This judge gave a law breaker free money for life because he can't speak English. What? The illegal immigrant should have been given prompt medical care and then immediately deported.
Experienced Workers Comp Doctors and Physicians are available with some research regardless if the work comp system is being strained by the poor decisions like the judges mentioned above as well as the increased premiums because of the illegal workers like the one mentioned above. Where do you stand on this delicate problem? Comment below.
Many illegal immigrants and workers usually have a difficult time obtaining healthcare, especially worker's compensation. But there is hope for these types of employees when it comes to receiving medical services.
Federally funded clinics are starting to emerge in popularity for many reasons. Most importantly, these facilities provide free medical treatment for illegal workers that don't have the ability to leave the job site to visit the medical clinic. And these employees are further concerned to engage certain people due to their immigration status. Moreover, most cannot afford healthcare or even office visit charges.
These free clinics continue to increase in locations. Surprisingly, these federally funded physicians will travel to the immigrants work site and provide medical care before work, after work and sometimes during the workers' lunch breaks. Only approximately twenty percent of these illegal workers utilize the free program due to a variety reasons of mistrust and a history of racial allegations. If an illegal worker cannot afford healthcare for any type of symptom or cannot travel to a medical clinic, then this would be a great place to start.
Worker's compensation benefits don't compare to regular healthcare benefits. Since the insurance providers lobby congress to pass certain laws, the work comp system positively caters to the workman's compensation insurance carriers. Medical treatment is still difficult to get approved by these insurance companies and reimbursement rates continue to decline. However, there are a few Experienced Work Comp Physicians and Medical Clinics available for on the job injuries and more.
With all this said, illegal immigrant workers that are injured at work can bypass the entire worker's compensation system without paying a dime. Happily, the employers of these injured workers don't have to pay the overly expensive work comp insurance premiums. The company owners can just simply call out the free traveling mobile medical clinic. Perhaps, they should just have a monthly clinic day and schedule a few baby deliveries at the same time. This is a deal for employers and immigrant workers; they get immediate medical treatment without first going through the difficulties in locating a treating physician and also not having to wait for authorization. Comment below if you know more.
All the talk was about a one day event In a recent article over at The Examiner. Once you start reading this article it seems like a bit of an awkward idea but the reader will soon realize communities across the nation could emulate these events.
A local medical clinic held a one day event that encompassed a variety of assistance that provided the community with a "All in One Support the People Day". The event was fundamentally organized to provide a multitude of help.
The one day function was promoted and funded by church groups, donators and community volunteers. The event was sectioned off and booths were created around the campgrounds that individually provided different specifics. These booths ranged from social services, medical assistance, dental services, bible distributions (including multiple language distribution points), and hair cutting stations to mention a few. But the reader will most likely chuckle when the article further explains that the Cat Coalition has set up camp and provided pet care stations.
The community really came together on this one. Clinics and doctors can at times be difficult to locate based on the type of injury or insurance especially because events like these don't happen very often. However, there are Experienced Physicians and Medical Clinics that can provide these same treatments and services daily regardless of the injury, pain and (insurance; or the lack thereof.)

So that your puppy has somewhere warm and soft to sleep.
To keep your puppy safe and allow you to leave it for short periods of time. Remember that puppies grow, so ensure that crates are large enough for when the puppy becomes adult.
Heavy ones are best as they cannot be knocked over.
Try to feed your puppy the best quality food that you can - some dogs can react to flavourings, preservatives, colourings and additives. Talk to your breeder or vet for food advice.
These are essential to help with teething and to prevent puppies chewing your shoes. Rotate every few days for variety.
Toys that you and your puppy can play with together, such as balls and 'raggers', have an important role now. Squeaky toys are handy for distracting your puppy if it is doing something it shouldn't be.
Start to accustom your puppy to wearing a collar and being on the lead in the home and garden. It should help make those first walks out in the world much easier.
This replicates the mother's scent, calming and reassuring the puppy.
Helps to settle your puppy for the first few nights alone. WrapÂ in a blanket before placing in your puppy's bed.

PIKEVILLE — A commercial development is expected to bring several retailers and hundreds of jobs to Appalachia.
Pikeville City Manager Donovan Blackburn told the Appalachian News Express that construction on the project is expected to begin in the fall or next spring. He said that 10 "nationally recognized names" have agreed to locate in the development and that talks are ongoing with other businesses.
Blackburn told WYMT-TV that the development will hold 18 to 20 stores and restaurants and, although it will be built in two phases, the entire project is slated to be completed in about three years.
Officials in Pikeville have been working to make the project a reality for five years.
"Not only to improve the overall quality of life in the area but also provide quality shopping and to hopefully pull people from outlying markets into our community," Blackburn said.
He said the area already has stores like Wal-Mart and Lowe's nearby, and a Texas Roadhouse.
"It's already well known by the community and surrounding communities as being the retail hub of the area," he said.
He said he couldn't divulge the names of the retailers that plan to have a presence in the community but said they typically would be seen in bigger cities.


V.S. Filinov, Yu.B. Ivanov, M. Bonitz, P.R. Levashov, V.E. Fortov. Quantum simulations of thermodynamic properties of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma
Submitted on: Sep 13, 2012, 17:00:13
Natural Sciences / Physics / Nuclear physics
Description: A strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma (QGP) of heavy constituent quasi-particles is studied by a path-integral Monte-Carlo method. This approach is a quantum generalization of the model developed by Gelman, Shuryak and Zahed. It is shown that this method is able to reproduce the QCD lattice equation of state and also yields valuable insight into the internal structure of the QGP. The results indicate that the QGP reveals liquid-like rather than gas-like properties. At temperatures just above the critical one it was found that bound quark-antiquark states still survive. These states are bound by effective string-like forces and turns out to be colorless. At the temperature as large as twice the critical one no bound states are observed. Quantum effects turned out to be of prime importance in these simulations.

Just a curious guy that loves to fix fix and tinker.
Not much to say, just a young dude that has always had enjoyment fixing or learning how devices are pieced together.
Had the exact same problem, even tried the #000 screw driver too. Stripped the screws due to how tightly they are screwed in there and how easy they strip. I am now unsure what to do from here or if all I can do is give up.


OK is the router yours or your ISP's? If it is your ISP then contact them. IF it is yours take the cable out of the router and connect it to your laptop. When I say cable, I mean the one going frm the ISP modem or router, to your wireless gateway. not from the wall.

An elderly man in Louisiana had owned a large farm fer several years.
He had a large pond in the back. It was properly shaped fer swimming, so he fixed it up nice picnic
tables, horseshoe courts, and some apple and peach trees.
One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn' t been there fer a while, and
leeks it over. He grabbed a bucket to bring back some fruit.
As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee..
As he came closer, he saw it was a bunch deyoung women in his pond.
He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end.
One of the women shouted to him, ‘We' re not coming em until you leave!
The old man frowned, 'l didn' t come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get em
of the pond naked/
Helding the bucket up he said, Tm here to feed the alligator/
Some old men can still think fast.
