As COVID-19 cases continue their surge across Wisconsin, some school districts are feeling the pinch from a shrinking supply of tests for the infection.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) “has a very robust school-based testing program,” says Louise Wilson, a consultant in school nursing and health services at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI). “But … there just aren’t test kits available in the U.S. anywhere. School districts are finding that their supplies are dwindling.”
The shortage is reportedly most critical for antigen tests, Wilson says. Antigen tests for COVID-19 can be rapidly analyzed. The PCR test, which examines a specimen for the genetic material from the virus, can take one to three days to complete the analysis.
In the School District of the Menomonie Area in Dunn County, the administration told staff in a message sent Wednesday that the state had temporarily depleted its supply of COVID-19 antigen tests.
Wisconsin’s top health official confirmed Thursday that antigen tests have been in short supply nationally, but said that PCR tests remain available.
“We’re seeing many efforts coming from the federal government to increase the supply of antigen tests,” said Karen Timberlake, DHS secretary-designee, at a media briefing on the pandemic. At the briefing, Timberlake and Gov. Tony Evers also announced that Wisconsin National Guard troops would be deployed to serve as nursing assistants in skilled nursing homes.
The state’s resurgence of COVID-19, driven by the much more contagious omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, has ratcheted up demand for testing in schools. DHS funds its school testing program with federal pandemic relief money.
According to Timberlake, more than 78% of Wisconsin public school districts are participating in the program, along with 20% of private schools. “They are working with a wide network of vendors who offer principally PCR testing in schools,” she said.
The Menomonie school district memo told staff members that while it awaits a new supply of tests, “the district will accept the results of ‘at-home’ tests for identifying positive cases.” A call to the district for more information was not returned.
But Dr. Ryan Westergaard, chief medical officer in the DHS Bureau of Infectious Diseases, said Thursday that both DHS and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recommended against using at-home COVID-19 tests to determine if someone is clear to go back to work after isolating with the infection.
“They can provide information for individuals who want rapid results [to establish] whether they have COVID,” Westergaard said of the at-home tests — such as whether to take part in a group gathering. But for returning to work or school, “our recommendation is not to use that home test, but use ones that are done in a supervised setting, where we can be confident that the proper steps were followed and the interpretation is correct.”
For the PCR tests, Timberlake said that “the vast majority” of laboratories working with DHS are able to complete the analysis in one to two days. The volume of tests is the primary reason the analysis is sometimes slower, she said, and DHS is signing up more drugstores, clinics and other testing facilities.
She recommended that people who have gotten a test and waited longer than three days without a result contact the test provider. People who have been tested at a community testing site can call a hotline number provided on the DHS community testing web page if they have not received the results in three days.
For people who suspect they have COVID-19 and have taken a test but not yet received the result, Timberlake said, “We need you to act as though you have COVID while you are waiting for that test result.” That would include wearing a well-fitting mask “at all times,” she said, and for people with symptoms to stay isolated from other people.
The National Guard deployment to boost health care staff comes as hospitals continue to strain under a new influx of COVID-19 patients.
Evers said the initial training and deployment was expected to free up 200 or more nursing home beds by the end of February. The action is aimed at providing space for patients ready to leave acute hospital care and to recuperate in nursing care to provide more hospital capacity.
There are already 50 National Guard members in six skilled nursing facilities in Wisconsin, which Timberlake said will open up 78 beds for patients released from hospitals.
DHS has also placed 626 health care workers from contract agencies, including nurses and nursing assistants, in hospitals and residential facilities around the state since October.

Updated 18 June: Here’s a nice little video from Adeje Ayuntamiento about how the carpets are made, explaining how Corpus Christi was developed in the Middle Ages as a celebration of the Eucharist, and how the carpets are enjoyed and then used as a decorative pathway for the religious procession. In a way, it’s related to the tradition in ancient religion of laying out the carpets for the Gods: treading on them was sacriligeous because it likened the walker to a god … a tradition that in the secular world could be the origin of the red carpet that celebrities walk on as gods of film at premiers or awards ceremonies. In the Christian world, though, the Corpus Christi carpets are trodden underfoot not as an act of hubris but of honour for Christ’s sacrifice, and the provision of his body as the host in a religious Mass.
Original post 13 June: La Orotava’s Corpus Christi carpets are the famous ones, and this year’s display in the town will take place on Thursday next week, 22 June. Over recent years, however, Adeje’s has become just as unmissable and this weekend Calle Grande, the main street leading up from the post office to the town hall and church at the top of the town, will be filled with carpets of coloured salt. Anyone who wants to see how the carpets are made should get along to Calle Grande this Saturday from 5pm where groups of alfombristas (including this year one from the international community’s FOCUS group) will be working to create the displays for the religious programme and procession on Sunday.
In Arona, as usual, the celebration is divided into the municipality’s different barrios, with a religious Mass following the creation of the carpets. Times for all events is detailed by the Ayuntamiento HERE. Perhaps the most popular with tourists will be the one in Los Cristianos, which wil start at 5pm on Saturday in Church Square with the creation of the carpet, and then a Mass and procession at midday on Sunday.

These succulent stews, roasts, and piquantly spiced meat dishes are among our heartiest entrées. Slowly baked in casseroles or simmered in large stockpots, they'll suffuse your kitchen with wonderful aromas. Most of these well-stewed entrées were developed by Eastern European Jews, because the tough and sinewy cheaper cuts of meat they could afford required hours of cooking to become tender. But that's not the whole story; other meat recipes hail from the abundant sheep- producing regions of the Middle East, where lamb is traditional spring fare and the featured entrée at Sephardic Seders. Some entrées in this chapter are suitable for an elegant dinner party, while others consist of everyday dishes like meat loaf, corned beef hash, and potted meatballs.
- 3 tablespoons onion powder
- 3 tablespoons garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 4-pound brisket
- 4 tablespoons corn oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 cups chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped or crushed fresh garlic
- In a bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and celery salt; mix thoroughly. Dredge the brisket in this spice mixture making sure every part of it is well covered. Place in a deep dish covered with aluminum foil, and refrigerate for 1 or 2 days. Heat 2 tablespoons of the corn oil in a large skillet, and brown the meat on both sides. Transfer brisket to a Dutch oven, add 1/2 cup water, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- While meat is simmering, heat remaining 2 tablespoons corn oil in a large skillet, and sauté onions, stirring occasionally. When the onions are nicely browned, add garlic, which browns quickly. Add onions and garlic to brisket pot. Cover, and continue simmering for 2 1/2 hours, or until meat is fully cooked. To test for doneness, stick a fork in the leaner end of the brisket; when there is a slight pull on the fork as it is removed from the meat, it is done. Cook longer if necessary.Remove brisket to a plate, and trim all visible fat. Then place the brisket (with what was the fat side down) on a cutting board, and carve thin slices across the grain (the muscle lines of the brisket) with a sharp, thin-bladed knife. Serve hot with gravy from the pot or cold in sandwiches.

A12 road (Belgium)
The A12 is an incomplete motorway in Belgium. The road starts at the Dutch border near Zandvliet and goes to Antwerp. There the A12 goes onto the Antwerp ring road R1. Then the road goes via Wilrijk in the direction of Brussels (the traffic coming from Ghent takes the A112 via the Jan De Vos Tunnel). From here on, it has frontage roads on both sides. Between Wilrijk and Schelle, the A12 is an expressway with major at-grade intersections that contain also the frontage roads. There, from Schelle, it is again a motorway. Then, in Boom, a tunnel leads the A12 under the Rupel river, where the frontage roads take a bridge and then fuse with the motorway itself. Between Breendonk and Sint-Brixius-Rode, there are again at-grade intersections, and then it is again a motorway, until Brussels, where it ends onto the Brussels Ring.
|Maintained by the Roads and Traffic Agency of the Flemish government|
|Length||55 km (34 mi)|
|Motorways in Belgium|
There are plans to gradually convert the road into a full motorway. Therefore, exits would be built replacing the two intersections in Westrode/Londerzeel and a bridge replacing the intersection near Breendonk. However, in 2010, the intersections are being modernised instead and a frontage road is partially being built in the direction of Brussels.
Between Zandvliet and Stabroek (north of Antwerp), the railway runs on the central reservation.
Unusually for a motorway in Belgium, the A12 is not part of the E-road network. However, for much of its length it runs a few kilometers to the west of and parallel with the A1 which forms a part of the European route E19.

text: Le Vermont is designed as ski apartments. It is situated at Valmeinier 1800 at the far end of the village. This is important to know as the map shown on Hotels.com us inaccurate. The apartments were comfortable and for 2 people offered ample room. The bedroom was basic but sufficient and the kitchen provided the level of equipment you would expect.Check in was a little complicated, as reception was in another complex further down in the village although in height of season, reception is within Le Vermont. The surroundings are fantastic, and at the time we were there, the alpine meadows were in full flower and were amazing. It is fairly easy to walk to the heart of the village with it many shops, bars and restaurants, although the walk back up hill is challenging! However, there is a supermarket and bread shop nearer, just up the hill, so necessities are close at hand. There is plenty of walking and mountain biking possibilities in the near locality. Wifi is available in the lobby of Le Vermont, although can sometimes be temperamental. We booked this apartment in order to follow stages of the Tour de France and we had a great time!

Schaumburg, Ill. (Manufacturing.net) — Motorola Solutions, Inc. has today announced the RFD5500 UHF RFID sled, which can instantly turn the MC55N0, MC55A0, MC65 and MC67 mobile computers into lightweight, rugged, handheld RFID readers. These deliver fast read times and improved productivity for warehousing applications.
By using Motorola’s UHF RFID technology, the sled offers better read range and coverage area, with no need to precisely align the reader with the tag, and ensuring readability on more challenging items. In addition, the RFD5500 offers a combination of audible and visual cues to help guide the user toward the precise location of the desired item — as the device gets nearer, the tone beeps louder and faster, while a sliding graphical bar increases in size.
The RFD5500’s dual data capture functionality — via the RFID reader or manual entry — means that mobile workers can locate products, read non-line-of-sight RFID data and capture poor-quality bar codes without interruption workflows.

SACO, Maine — Feb. 22, 2024 —The Maine Water Company invites the public to tour its new $60 million Saco River Drinking Water Resource Center on South Street in Biddeford.
The Resource Center, which began service in the summer of 2022, supplies fire protection and high-quality drinking water to the communities of Biddeford, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, and the Pine Point area of Scarborough. The company is holding an open house on Wednesday, March 6th, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., at 16 Water Works Drive, which is just off South Street (about a mile west past the South Street bridge over the Maine Turnpike.) The event is free. Registration is not required, but guests 18 years old and over must bring a government-issued photo ID. Also required for safety reasons are flat, closed-toe shoes.
The company’s water professionals will discuss how they protect the water source as well as the technology that filters, treats and tests the quality of the water. In addition to tours, there will be interactive displays for children and adults to raise awareness about the importance of protecting and conserving water.
“Our employees are eager to meet their customers and show them the care and skill that goes into providing them with clean tap water,” said Mike Cummons, Vice President at Maine Water. “It is a privilege to serve the community, and we want people to understand how their water is transformed from its start in the Saco River to its end as high-quality water at the tap.”
A long-term infrastructure investment, the Saco River Drinking Water Resource Center replaced a facility that was 138 years old, built when Chester A. Arthur was President of the United States. The old building also sat exposed in the flood plain of the Saco River, and had been flooded at least three times in the last century. The new one is safely out of the flood plain.
Thanks largely to completing this complex 10-year project, Maine Water Company was recently named “Utility of the Year” by the New England Water Works Association (NEWWA.)


On 21 June, President Jokowi issued Government Regulation No. 24 of 2018 on Electronic Integrated Business Licensing Services (Regulation 24), which became effective on the same day. As a consequence, on 29 June, Thomas Lembong, the Chairman of the Capital Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) issued a press release stating that BKPM was temporarily suspending the processing and issuing of licenses as a transition to a nationwide business licenses process through an Online Single Submission (OSS) system.
Regulation 24 is issued to accelerate and improve capital investment and businesses. With this regulation, an electronic integrated business licensing services system is established, called an OSS system, which will be used nationwide. The OSS system will be run by the OSS agency. However, at the moment the OSS system will be run by the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs (CMEA), and will later be transitioned to BKPM (see below).
Regulation 24 attaches a comprehensive list of licenses that will be processed through the OSS system. The licenses are business licenses, or commercial or operational licenses, of various sectors, including electricity, healthcare, drugs and food, financial services, trade and employment.
BKPM Press Release
The BKPM press release states the following:
- On 29 June, BKPM temporarily stopped processing and issuing licenses. The licenses will shortly be processed and issued by the CMEA through the OSS system after the system is formally launched. The CMEA expects that the system will be launched within days.
- The Coordinating Minister of Economic Affairs directed BKPM to only gather all applications submitted to it, and then once the OSS system is launched, transfer the applications to the OSS system to be processed and issued.
- BKPM was informed that some applications will still be processed at BKPM even when Regulation 24 is effective. BKPM is still verifying which licenses are still under its authority.
- BKPM's One Stop Integrated Services (PTSP-BKPM) is still open as usual to take questions and gather applications.
- PTSP-BKPM is also preparing itself to take over the OSS system from the CMEA, expected to be five months from now.
The CMEA also issued a press release on the same day announcing the OSS system that will soon be launched. It is said that once the OSS system is launched, investors or business owners can process their licenses by coming to the OSS lounge or PTSP, or they can do it through www.oss.go.id(ekon).
Implementation - Status
Until this client alert is issued, the OSS system has not yet been launched. As such, it remains to be seen how it will be implemented. The OSS system will be a significant change for the licensing regime in Indonesia. However, we may expect some delays and intricacies for the first one or two weeks when the OSS system is first launched, and when the OSS system is transitioned from the CMEA to BKPM.
In its press release, BKPM indicated that any further developments will be announced. We are monitoring this closely, and we will issue updates if there are any further developments.

German opposition parties win in major state election
The Daily Briefing
Buckeye Forum Podcast
The Dispatch public affairs team talks politics and tackles state and federal government issues in the Buckeye Forum podcast.
Your Right to Know
BERLIN — Germany’s center-left opposition won a thin victory over Chancellor Angela Merkel’s
coalition in a major state election yesterday, dealing a setback as she seeks a third term at the
helm of Europe’s biggest economy.
The opposition Social Democrats and Greens won a single-seat majority in the state legislature in Lower Saxony, ousting the coalition of Merkel’s conservative Christian Democratic Union and the pro-market Free Democrats that has run the northwestern region for 10 years. The same parties form the national government.
Merkel, 58, will seek another four-year term in a national parliamentary election expected in September. Merkel and her party are riding high in polls, but yesterday’s outcome could boost what so far has been a sputtering campaign by her Social Democratic challenger, Peer Steinbrueck.

Historic Oliver Cromwell locomotive returns to Norwich
A steam locomotive which revolutionised train travel between Norwich and London 60 years ago made a return to the city at the weekend.
Train enthusiasts, former railway workers and members of the public got the chance to see The Norfolkman, hauled by Britannia Class Steam Locomotive 70013 Oliver Cromwell, as it arrived into Norwich on Saturday afternoon.
The engine Oliver Cromwell first started operating between Norwich and London in 1951 and knocked 20 minutes off the previous journey time.
Its introduction resulted in a journey of just two hours and 10 minutes to reach the capital – stopping just once en route – and later this was reduced further to two hours.
Some 60 years on, the average journey time to London is one hour 50 minutes, despite the line being electrified in 1986.

And the locomotive Oliver Cromwell's 60th anniversary visit on its old route has prompted fresh calls for a modern day revolution on the main line to the capital.
Graham Plant, Norfolk County Council's cabinet member for travel and transport, said: 'As talks regarding the Greater Anglia rail franchise continue, the return of the locomotive Oliver Cromwell to the line that it once revolutionised is poignant, not just for nostalgic reasons.

'In 1951, it cut the journey time from Norwich to London down, taking 20 minutes off the previous time. Sadly, despite many advances in technology, we haven't come as far as you would imagine in terms of improving our rail service over the last 60 years.
'We want to see enough investment in the new franchise and our local rail infrastructure in order to deliver us a modern service, that is reliable and which can do the journey from Norwich to London in 90 minutes.'
The locomotive's visit to the city, which formed part of a rail tour organised by the King's Lynn-based Railway Touring Company, also gave former train drivers and workers the chance to reminisce.
George Leman, 84, who lives in Keswick, near Norwich, and worked on the Britannia Class trains, said: 'It brings back lots of memories. I enjoyed every minute of working on the trains, it may not have been well paid but I enjoyed it.'

When Frank Lampard was announced as Chelsea boss on July 4, 2019, to succeed Maurizio Sarri ahead of the 2019-20 season, there were a lot of eyebrows raised with his appointment.
A lot of football fans wrote him off and believed he lacked the experience to manage a top club like Chelsea. However, against all the odds, Lampard proved his doubters wrong by securing a top-four finish and clinching a Champions League spot.
Chelsea secured Champions League qualification on the final day of the season courtesy of a 2-0 win against Wolves. Lampard achieved this remarkable feat with youngsters after the club was stung with a two-window transfer embargo. After an impressive first season at the Bridge as a Premier League manager, the Chelsea board have rewarded Lampard by throwing their weight behind him in the transfer market. Chelsea has been the busiest of the Premier League clubs in this summer transfer window. They have signed Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva, Malang Sarr, and Kai Havertz.
Chelsea has hugely strengthened their attacking force with this new look and expensively assembled squad. Many football fans out there are of the view that Lampard’s side can give champions Liverpool and Man City serious competition next season.
Why Chelsea look favorites to challenge for the title
With the kind of signings Chelsea has made so far, they look like a team going for the title next season. Last season Chelsea conceded 54 goals in the Premier League, which is astonishing by a team that ended up finishing in a top-four position. Lampard was desperate to add experience and leadership to his leaky defense and has gone in for the veteran Brazilian defender Thiago Silva. Silva is 35, but he still has plenty to offer. If you saw him in the just-ended Champions League, Thiago Silva showed that he can still cut it at the highest level. He coped well against players like Robert Lewandowski, who is arguably the best striker on this planet earth currently, Serge Gnabry and Yussuf Poulsen. One of Silva’s biggest weapon is organizing the back four very well and reading the game well. The way Silva reads the game is incredible. His positioning is pretty good. Silva’s attributes are what Lampard lacked in his defense last season.
Lampard has also addressed his left-back position by signing Ben Chilwell from Leicester City. Chilwell is a clear upgrade on Marcos Alonso and Emerson Palmieri. Chilwell has an unbelievable pace to get up and down the wing. In modern-day football, full-backs joining the attack is no longer an option but a priority. A typical example is what Liverpool’s Trent-Alexander Arnold and Andy Robertson are doing. In the Chelsea attacking department, Lampard now has the likes of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, and Kai Havertz. Lampard’s attacking signings show he is hungry for goals, and he means business come next season. The attacking trio of Wener, Ziyech, and Havertz recorded devastating numbers at their former clubs last season.
Last season, the likes of Christian Pulisic and Tammy Abraham were also in good shape, with only Man City and Liverpool scoring more goals than Chelsea. The new additions will make Lampard’s attacking department very solid and provide depth and competition for places in his attacking third. One area Lampard needs to tackle as a priority is his goalkeeping position. The writing was clearly on the wall after Kepa Arrizabalaga lost his place in the first-team to second-choice keeper Willy Caballero in their season-ending win over Wolves. Lampard appears to be unconvinced with the kind of errors his number one keeper is committing. Chelsea could either go in for a quality keeper or keep faith in Kepa and hope he learns from his mistakes.
With these big-money deals, Lampard knows he needs to deliver on Roman Abramovich’s expectations at Chelsea. Lampard’s debut season was a free hit, but this time, Abramovich wants results and trophies. He is known for sacking coaches who fail to deliver silverware for the club. The likes of Jose Mourinho, Felipe Scolari, Carlo Ancelloti, and Maurizio Sarri were all shown the exit door. The pressure for success will motivate Lampard, and with the kind of talent at his disposal, finding the right formula will make Chelsea serious contenders for the league title next season.
Although on paper, Chelsea looks favorite to challenge for the Premier League, their fans need to know that a lot of their new signings haven’t played in the Premier League before. These players came from different leagues, different teams, and a different brand of football with different managers. Although they are very talented, it will take time for some of them to adjust to the Premier League. Chelsea finished last season in the fourth position with 66 points, 33 points behind champions Liverpool. The points difference between them and Liverpool is a huge gap they need to bridge. Since it is football, anything can happen in the coming season. However, with the kind of squad they are parading, Chelsea will be a team to watch.


HUNTSVILLE, AL. -- A candidate for an open Huntsville state Senate seat won't be on the ballot because she doesn't live in the district.
Sherryl Snodgrass Caffey confirmed today a check of her residence near the Edgewater subdivision in west Huntsville shows she is not a resident of Senate District 7.

Esoteric is back after eight years, and back in a pretty big way. The band has announced a new double album titled A Pyrrhic Existence that stretches six tracks over the course of about 100 minutes. A Pyrrhic Existence was recorded at vocalist and guitarist Greg Chandler's Priory Recording Studios in Birmingham and was given artwork by Lisa Schubert.
Here's what the band had to say about the record.
"A Pyrrhic Existence is an album that deals with some of the darkest sides of the human psyche and the harsh realities of existence. The concepts of the lyrics deal with death, suffering, tragedy, lies and the breakdown of the human psyche. The title is a reference as to how existence can be perceived as something that inflicts so much devastation on the survivor, that it becomes tantamount to defeat. The music is a progression from previous albums, and is of an extremely psychedelic and experimental nature. It can be likened to a vicarious journey through the twisted passages of the broken mind."
Expect a single soon.

Asian equity markets ended mixed on Thursday as upbeat US data coupled with Fed Chair Janet Yellen's hawkish tone in her latest remarks on Capitol Hill helped spur expectations of a faster pace of Fed rate-hike in 2017. US retail sales rose more than expected in January and consumer prices rose at their fastest pace in nearly four years, boosting prospects of an interest rate hike as early as March. Chinese stocks ended up as higher commodity prices and media reports of a pick-up in spending on railways and other infrastructure this year boosted material stocks. Meanwhile, Japanese shares retreated as the dollar slipped against rivals, including the Japanese yen.

Manager Steve Bruce has been giving his thoughts ahead of the clash this weekend with Ipswich Town.
With football returning after the November international break, Bruce opened by commenting that he was pleased we’d started better after this break compared to the last.
Speaking to the Official Site as he met with the media in his pre game press conference, he explained.
‘We played very well at QPR and the other night we didn’t play as well. But we found a way to win and that’s important too. Sometimes you don’t play as well as you’d like but being able to win is a good trait to have. That was the case the other night and I was comfortable with us not reaching the heights of the QPR match. We were still comfortable. The only save Sam Johnstone made was their one shot on target. We got through it and it’s another tough game tomorrow now.’
Having admitted the midweek showing wasn’t as good as QPR, he went on to say.
‘Ideally, you always want to play the way we did against QPR. But that doesn’t happen, unfortunately. That’s football. That’s the Championship. Teams go up and down with their form very quickly so it’s important that we’ve found a resilience. Sometimes you’ve just got to do the basics and now we face another tough challenge against Ipswich, where we know what to expect. It’s our third game in a week and our last before December begins, which is going to be very important.’
Villa go into the Ipswich tie looking for three wins on the spin.
‘If you’re going to be there or thereabouts at the end of the season you’ve got to be putting runs together. Overall I’ve been delighted with our form, other than in the first two weeks of the season. We had two disappointing results at Reading and Cardiff, but since then there’s been a resilience about us and results wise it’s been very good. We’re making progress and there’s still a long way to go. We’re where we want to be.’
With the injury to John Terry, he went on to say of the defence.
‘We know what a big difference John Terry made and losing him was a big blow. But the reason we brought in Chris Samba was exactly for this situation we find ourselves in. That’s the beauty of having a squad. I keep saying to them the shirt stays with people if they’re playing well. There’s times when I’m thinking, ‘do I change it? Do I freshen it up?’ But I’d have been disappointed as a player if I played at QPR and then hadn’t been picked for Sunderland.’
With Jonathan Kodjia the latest injury blow, Bruce has welcomed a few back to fitness.
‘People like Jack Grealish and Henri Lansbury have come back and they’ve had to wait, but they’ll have a part to play and will get their chance. They’ve been brilliant coming back after nasty injuries – especially Jack’s, which was a freak one. He gave a cameo performance that showed what we’ve been missing the other day. He was even going into sliding tackles, which was nice to see. His big part of the season could be just upon us, and it’s the same with Lansbury.’
As for Ipswich more directly, he knew it would be a tough tie.
‘We know what to expect from a Mick McCarthy team – they’ve made a very good start. He’s been there five years or so now and in my opinion he’s very underrated. He’s a very capable, good manager who’s been around the block. You always know what you’re going to get when you face his sides – they’ll be up and at you. They’ll never give anything up, just like Mick himself. They’ll mirror him.’
He added about owner Dr Tony Xia and his visit this week.
‘The owner is right behind everything and leads from the front. It’ll be great if we can make it three out of three for him. I’m sure that would round his week off very well.’

This PCB is a small screen, a 5" screen/display .. If I were to turn it over you'd see a display
What is meant to be plugged into the USB connector labelled "Touch" on this screen?
(Excuse the fact that apparently it's on a fleece material, and not a good idea to put a PCB on a fleece).
If you connect this usb to a computer, it would allow touch controls.
Eg: This port is used to comminuciate touch capabilities of the screen. Usuaully this screen is an embedded screen on a device, and this wire is not shown to the user, but it connects internally to the pc so that it has an additional mouse so to speak.
note added by barlop
barlop: "so that connector would go to the computer and cause the device's panel to be both screen and touchpad?"
lpchip "yes , that's basically how it works."

This up-and-coming city lies north of Manhattan Beach and boasts a very successful business community on the Sepulveda corridor running north/south through the city. This little residential area with Mid-Western values and atmosphere is tucked in between the coast and its business community. El Segundo is located the furthest north in the South Bay making it a convenient commuter neighborhood to the rest of Los Angeles. It has become more and more desirable as part of the Silicon Beach growth. The city is known for 4th of July celebrations, farmers market, parades and little league games. This is a family oriented place to live.
Location within this residential city is extremely important since LAX, the Hyperion plant, commercial buildings and the Chevron refinery lie at the borders of El Segundo. However, in the heart of the city is a traditional Main Street, beautiful parks and recreation areas as well as a beautiful high school campus. A real mix of options exists in El Segundo including single-family homes, condos, townhomes apartments and income properties (duplex/triplex/etc.). The multi-family properties tend to lie at the outer boundaries and along Main St. In the recent years, new development has increased as more properties change hands.

Disney’s Captain Marvel released to theaters on March 9th earning a record-breaking $455M worldwide over the weekend. As a result, you can expect this to be one of the biggest home media releases of the year. And, Best Buy and Target have wasted no time making pre-orders available for exclusive Blu-ray editions. Here’s a look at all the disc variations of Captain Marvel available on June 11, 2019. (Order from Amazon)
Standard Blu-ray & 4k Blu-ray Editions
Captain Marvel will release to a “Multi-screen Edition” with Blu-ray and Digital Copy and a 2-disc “Cinematic Universe Edition” with 4k Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and Digital Copy. Both editions include English 2.0 Descriptive Audio, Spanish and French 5.1 Dolby Digital overdubbed tracks, and subtitles in English SDH, Spanish and French.
The film is presented in 2.39:1 widescreen at 1080p (Blu-ray) and 2160p (4k Blu-ray). The Ultra HD Blu-ray edition also features High Dynamic Range color with HDR10. For sound, the Blu-ray offers English DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 while the 4k Blu-ray adds more immersive sound with Dolby Atmos.
Bonus materials include deleted scenes, gag reel, featurettes Big Hero Moment, The Origin of Nick Fury, The Skrulls and the Kree, audio commentary and more. Captain Marvel is selling for $24.99 (Blu-ray) and $29.99 (Ultra HD Blu-ray).
Best Buy has a limited SteelBook edition of Captain Marvel with the hero herself on the cover, back and inside spread. The special aluminum case is a collectible item for many who still treasure packaged media, and this one comes in a combo edition with 4k Blu-ray, Blu-ray and a Digital Copy. Best Buy has pretty much foregone the Blu-ray/DVD combo in their limited editions, so if you’re looking for a DVD for your car player you’ll have to purchase separately. The 4k Blu-ray SteelBook edition of Captain Marvel sells for $34.99 at Best Buy.
Target’s exclusive 4k Blu-ray edition of Captain Marvel has custom artwork on the cover featuring Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law and “Goose” the cat.

The exclusive edition (only available in Ultra HD Blu-ray) sells for $34.99 at Target.
Walmart will likely be selling an exclusive edition of Captain Marvel and we’ll fill in the details here when we get them. [Update 5/14/19: No Walmart exclusives listed yet.]

Home Depot has been asked to pay a little less than $28 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the state of California over the illegal dumping of hazardous waste.
Inspections revealed that the retailer failed to follow state waste laws while disposing of harmful materials including batteries and aerosol cans. The company also allegedly failed to dispose of customer information properly leaving personal details visible to strangers.
Home Depot will have to pay $16 million in civil penalties and an additional $2 million for environmental protection projects. The retailer will also have to spend $6.8 million on stricter environmental compliance.
Remember, Home Depot was asked to pay $5.7 million by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission for selling the recalled products.
Environment protection issues are becoming extremely important and companies will have to go the extra mile to make sure they are doing their bit.
Last month, the 3M Company was asked to pay $850 million to settle an environmental issue lawsuit in Minnesota.
Home Depot has also announced a donation of $50 million to train people in the construction field in order to address a shortage in the home building sector. Around 20,000 people including veterans and students are expected to benefit from this effort.
The home improvement chain is making reparation by doing its bit to help with the labor shortage that is plaguing the residential construction industry.

Harve Presnell Timeline
1258One of Mr. Presnell's first recordings was with his church choir at Hollywood Presbyterian (RCA Victor LPM 1258). On their album he soloed on The Lord's Prayer and was part of the quartet featured on Come Thou Almighty King.
1956Presnell was once a soloist with the Roger Wagner Chorale. He soloed on the Christmas classic "O Holy Night" in their 1956 "Joy To The World" LP. This was one of Capitol Records earliest stereo efforts. In addition, he sang with Marilyn Horne in "He's Gone Away" and also soloed on "O, Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie," both of which can be found on the RWC album "Folk Songs Of The New World."
1960He is the outstanding baritone soloist in the spirited 1960 Columbia recording of Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, with Eugene Ormandy conducting the Rutgers University Choirs and the Philadephia Orchestra. The recording, still available, was reissued on CD in 1990 by Sony.
1992He was nominated for a 1992 Joseph Jefferson Award for Actor in a Principal Role in a Musical for "Annie Warbucks" at the Marriott Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.


Since deadly brew also applies other poisons, I would benefit from both the burst damage of having 2 instant poisons and deadly poison would always be up as well, which boosts mutilate damage by 50%, in addition to the 20% mutilate damage boost from opportunity in subtlety, along with a 30% mutilate crit damage boost from lethality. As far as upping the crit chances itself, you get a 26% passive critical hit chance boost for mutilate (assuming that someone, somewhere in your raid happens to dodge, block, or parry which is..likely.), and assuming the mobs are more than just one enemy, relentless strikes can help up the next mutilate crit chance to 66% which isn't bad, and killing an enemy in a raid isn't something out of the ordinary. As well, the instant poisons and deadly poisons get a 40% damage boost total from vile poisons and infectious poisons. I've played mutilate for a long time, I don't care if someone is like "noob roll combat swords its the only way kthnxbye". Let's try and keep it a discussion and not an argument.


text: 8465 Plaza Boulevard is now a new home for SMC Construction Inc, the building was a motorcycle parts store and it was dated a bit. So we decided to rip out the carpet, take down the old peg walls and bring in some life to the space. We started with a new rough-in of the future kitchen, and a layout to fit in four offices, kitchen, conference room and a receptionists / welcome area. For the flooring we chose polished concrete walls painted silver gray and the office doors were stained black with withe casing to have contrast. We custom built the receptionist’s desk and our conference table out of construction materials that were unique and interesting pieces not used as traditionally it would. We built our fireplace walls and installed cabinets throughout to showcase our work, and to act as office storage and reduced clutter. The new layout called out for 3 more windows so we decided to replace all of the windows in the building with Marvins Integrity fiberglass black windows, We painted the exterior brick and stucco gray and replaced the flat roof that was on the last leg. We hired a local sign company to design and fabricate a sign with our logo and our screen to be as a crain message center.

'West Brom are okay' – Ian Abrahams claims Leeds face big promotion problem if season ends late
talkSPORT journalist Ian Abrahams has said that Leeds United face a big problem if the season is resumed at a later date and they win promotion.
That’s one of the possible outcomes for the Championship after all football was suspended until April 3 at the earliest.
Talking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show (talkSPORT, Monday 7am), Abrahams said that his favoured option is to finish the current season but said if it went into the summer it would cause Leeds issues with Elland Road.
“I think you have to finish the current season however and whenever to protect the integrity of the season,” said Abrahams.
“Whether it’s in one month or two months time or in the summer.
“I hear the complications around payers’ contracts. And there are normally so many things you have to do to your ground to get it to Premier League level… and seriously if Leeds and West Brom got promoted… Actually, West Brom are okay because they’ve been in the Premier League recently.

“If Leeds got promoted there’s so much they have to do to Elland Road. Crazy amounts because of things like media and TV especially.
“There’s a lot that needs to be sorted even away from the football pitch.”
Playing the remaining games of the season is what everyone’s obsessing about at the moment but Abrahams makes a very good point here.
Leeds are holding a senior management meeting on Monday to discuss all the implications of the Coronavirus and issues around Elland Road will be one of the problems they’ll be aware of.
These are special times, though, and we can’t see the Premier League applying sanctions or even stopping teams getting promoted if stadiums aren’t up to scratch because of the season ending late.
It could all be academic at the moment. There’s no guarantee that this season will resume and no guarantee that Leeds will be promoted if that’s the case.
These are unprecedented times and while the public’s health is the most important thing, senior figures at Leeds will be busy on club and league logistics.

Voting in 1830sDuring the 1830s I would definitely join the Whig friendship formed in the era of capital of Mississippiian democracy . The fellowship opposed the policies and programs of Andrew capital of Mississippi , the seventh President of the USA and the republican Party . The positive moment is that the Whigs called for supremacy of the copulation , non administrator Branch . Moreover , they supported the ideas of stinting protectionism and modernisation . The Whigs claimed that Andrew Jackson was a dangerous individual who tended to oppose economic , clean-living and social modernization of the country . Therefore , they argued that the telling should consider the will of the people , not the President . I fully agree with such idea as a person will pursue his own interests and interest of his assort , whereas the Congress is the combination of different parties which represent all layers of cosmos . furthermore the Whigs supported protective tariffs in domestic manufacturing and growth-oriented financial polity . The Whigs supported also public schools , cultural institutions and benignity (Zinn 1999Administration of Andrew Jackson seems to be rather controversial issue and a field of study for debates . It is claimed that Andrew Jackson was such a personally that powerfully incorporated the development of the new mass democracy in the 1820s and 1830s . plainly I think that mass democracy would come come on even without Andrew Jackson .
Many historians claim ! that he was peremptory , selfish and egocentric thinking scarce himself and contradicting democratic perform he promoted and proclaimed . For example it is necessary to mention the removal of Cherokee Indians . I think that Andrew Jackson was filled with prejudice and was racialist in certain way Jackson intensified the furrow between the Indians and Americans by invading their lands . Jackson ignored the termination of the Supreme Court and gathered large army to conduct the Indians from their houses and to make them move westward . Such behavior could only be called democratic . Summing up , he was a true(a) leader during 1820-1840s , but I don t think that he was a true democrat (Zinn 1999Works CitedZinn , Howard .As Long as the hit Grows or Water Runs : A Peoples History of the United States : 1492 to put anterior .

Steven Saxby wants to paint the Cities of London and Westminster red.
Father Saxby is the Labour Party’s local parliamentary candidate for the next general election in 2021 and, if successful in his campaign, will become the first Anglican priest since 1801 to win a place in the house without resigning his orders.
Labour is a serious contender for the seat after incumbent Tory MP Mark Field saw his majority cut in the 2017 election.
“We are confident we can win it,” said Saxby, who believes his Conservative counterparts have taken the seat for granted in recent times.
He said life had become “a tale of two cities”, where obscene wealth and extreme poverty live side by side because of “Conservative chaos”.
“The Cities of London and Westminster have become a place where only a privileged few are comfortable but where a great many struggle,” he said.
Saxby, 47, has working-class roots in the City, having been born and raised in East London and Essex.
When he started his ordination training, he spent a year living with a community of Franciscan Friars in Barstow, where he helped them run a drop-in centre for homeless people and refugees.
“It was a great place to encounter other people and life experiences,” he said.
He’s now the parish priest of St Barnabas in the heart of Waltham Forest, having served congregations elsewhere in the borough for about seven years.
His religious calling and social campaigning are both drawn from the same concern for justice and equality.
“There is this sort of big tradition that says faith and politics don’t mix,” said Saxby. “For me, I grew up in a church which was always very socially active, politically aware. My first day out with a church was actually a lobby of Parliament. I was about 14 at the time.
“I came to faith and politics at the same time, and the church helped me to think about politics. For me they’ve always gone together. And everything I’ve done as a priest, as a vicar, has always been about the interaction between the church and wider society.”
Over the past 30 years, Saxby has led and won campaigns covering homelessness and supporting refugees.
He became attracted to the Labour Party and joined in early 2015 because of the “negative impact” Tory legislation was having on the people he was working with in his congregation and community.
“I thought we really do need to see a change of government and, obviously, Labour is the best chance of change,” said Saxby, though he admitted it was not easy for him to join.
He said: “To be honest, it was a bit of an internal struggle for me to join Labour, given the position the party had taken over many things over the last decades. But I am really happy now with the new direction of the party under Jeremy Corbyn.”
Saxby’s union, Unite The Union, encouraged him to rise up the ranks in an effort to represent the residents of the City of London who, he said, are often looked over.
“Labour wants the City of London to be a place that welcomes tourists and employees in the financial sector, but more consideration needs to be given to the residents,” he said. “There’s no lack of resources in the City of London and yet residents are subject to cuts to public services.
“It’s truly shocking that we have such levels of poverty and so much neglect. And in the City it’s not that there’s no money.
“If you go to many local boroughs they are really struggling to deliver basic services because they’ve been subject to so many cuts by the Conservatives, but the City of London is more than able to deliver much better quality of care to its residents.
“It does a brilliant job of keeping its streets clean. It’s got the cleanest streets in the country. Why doesn’t it deliver the best social care in the country? The City is always going to be the financial centre; it’s always going to be an historic centre. But if we lose the residents we’re going to lose the perspective, the experiences, the benefit of people living in the City.”

No clean fossil fuels
Some of the candidates for president say they want to limit big government, yet they turn around and say they will take actions to establish an “oilogarchy,” opening up a pipeline for tar-sands oil from Canada to Houston. The costs and risks of this and other dirty, unsafe energy programs will far outweigh the costs of investments in the transition to clean and safe energy for our future.
On a related point, Republican presidential candidates point to “cap and trade” as an example of big-government takeover, when it is only a penalty for pollution — the funds from which can be used to absorb the health-care costs resulting from the use of cheap, toxic energy.
There is no such thing as a clean fossil fuel, even though millions of tax dollars have been spent on this illusory goal. I’m in favor of a government that promotes the general welfare as well as providing for the common defense.

Climate change campaign launched by Slovenian Olympic Committee
Ljubljana, 17 December - The Slovenian Olympic Committee (OKS) launched on Friday a campaign to raise awareness about the need to preserve glaciers, in which a piece of the glacier from Mt Triglav will be brought to Beijing and displayed there during the Winter Olympic Games to warn of the impact of global warming on the Alps.
Over the next 36 days, the Slovenian automotive vlogger Ciril Komotar will transport a portion of the Triglav glacier, taken as part of regular sampling, across a large part of Europe, across Russia, and all the way to the border with China.
The idea is to display the piece of the Triglav glacier at the Winter Olympics centre in Beijing, thus sending a clear message about the rapid disappearance of the world's glaciers and the wider impact of climate change on humanity.
The impact of global warming on the glacier on Mt Triglav was also illustrated by Komotar at today's press conference. "The atmosphere is currently warming at such speed that the impact is equivalent to moving the glacier 100 metres lower every 15 years," he said.
From a size of around 40 hectares in the 19th century and just over 14 hectares 75 years ago, the Triglav glacier has shrunk in recent years to the size of just about a hectare, the equivalent of about one or two football pitches.
Franci Petek, former successful Slovenian ski jumper and current director of the Planica Nordic Centre, also spoke upon the start of the journey, touching on the dramatic impact of climate change.
For him, "the real challenge is how to accept the fact that we are witnessing a rapidly changing climate. This is an unprecedented rate of change given the long history of our planet". Petek pointed out that the Alps and the polar regions were hit hardest by global warming.
The project organised by the Slovenian Olympic Committee (OKS) also involves a number of companies, organisations and research institutes, and aims to highlight the need for urgent change.
"This is one of our first major projects for sustainable development and a unique story that will add great value to the upcoming Winter Olympic Games," said OKS President Bogdan Gabrovec.
The climate impact of the glacier's journey is to be offset by tree planting and other measures to remove its carbon footprint. The campaign team will visit Laško and Maribor today and will already be in Monaco tomorrow, where they will be received by Prince Albert, the president of the International Olympic Committee's Commission for Sustainable Solutions.

Out now from Bassman Books
When Flash the German Shepherd came into the life of two-year-old Iona Nicol it was the beginning of a lifelong passion for animals which in time led to the creation of Munlochy Animal Aid.
Folk We’ve Met is Iona’s story, told in her own words, of changing times and attitudes, the people who’ve supported her, and the hard work involved in building a charity now known and loved across the Highlands.
All profits from this book, which features photos of many of the animals to pass through her doors, will go towards the work of Munlochy Animal Aid.

At the end of the First World War, RAF Catfirth in Shetland was the most northerly air station in Britain, a flying boat station planned to house 450 men and 18 aircraft.
In RAF Catfirth 1918 Simon Gunn brings to life the remote base and the men who served there in the last months of the war, including its charismatic commanding officer, Lt Col Charles Finch Noyes, and Lt Arnold B Massey, the dashing Canadian pilot who in the summer of 1918 became the first man to fly to Shetland.
RAF Catfirth could easily be overlooked as no more than a historical footnote, but this book, illustrated with many period photographs, proves that even the most distant posting has a past to remember.
Take a look here at more titles to enjoy from Bassman Books - the publisher on the Black Isle.
