A massive dust cloud that had been journeying 5,000 miles from the Sahara Desert across the Atlantic Ocean since June 15, 2020, finally hit the United States mainland on June 26, 2020. Nicknamed "Godzilla," the 3,500 mile-long plume broke into two chunks, thanks to the split in the mid-levels of the atmosphere.
With less than 55,000 grizzly bears left in the wild across North America, the sighting of even one is a cause for celebration. Hence you can only imagine how delighted Cara Clarkson and her family were when they spotted two young grizzlies — one with rarely seen all-white fur— foraging alongside the Trans-Canada Highway near Banff, Canada, on April 26, 2020.
Given their reputation as solitary creatures that come together only to mate and hibernate, the notion of snakes hanging out in groups with their "best friends" may sound a little far-fetched. However, a recent study conducted by researchers from Canada's Wilfrid Laurier University asserts that the reptiles not only actively seek out socialization with their peers, but are also extremely particular about who they spend time with.
Since early May, visitors to the Padre Island National Seashore off the coast of South Texas have been discovering specimens of the rare blue dragon, or Glaucus atlanticus. Though the name evokes images of flying, fire breathing monsters, the delicate creatures are a type of sea slug that spend their lives in the temperate and tropical waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
The negative health impacts of plastic on both wildlife and humans have been well-documented. However, the versatile material, which is used for everything from grocery bags to drink bottles to food packaging, is hard to avoid. Experts estimate that of the 359 million tons of plastics produced annually worldwide, about 150–200 million tons end up in landfills or the environment. To make matters worse, the material derived from the small percentage of plastic that is recycled is of lower quality and can only be used a few times for items like clothing or carpets before it has to be discarded.
NASA's ambitious plans to land humans on the Moon by 2024 just got one step closer to becoming a reality thanks to the first comprehensive map of our satellite's surface. Unveiled on April 23, 2020, the colorful 1:5,000,000-scale "Unified Geologic Map of the Moon" is the result of decades of painstaking work by scientists from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), NASA, and the Lunar and Planetary Institute.
Earth Day, which is celebrated annually on April 22, is usually commemorated with outdoor activities demonstrating support for environmental protection. These include planting trees, collecting roadside or beach trash, and conducting, or participating in, recycling and conservation programs. While the coronavirus lockdowns will restrict some of the usual activities, organizations, educators, and activists worldwide have devised numerous ways to mark the 50th anniversary of this all-important holiday, which is dedicated to climate action this year, without leaving the comfort of your homes. Here are a few of the digital Earth Day celebrations planned for 2020.
Though many single-celled lifeforms have evolved to survive without oxygen, multicellular organisms have always been believed to need it to live. Now, scientists in Tel Aviv, Israel, have found that Henneguya salminicola, a parasite, which spends its life attached to the muscle tissue of fish, has adapted to living without oxygen.

Federal law frequently requires the owners and operators of property that is polluted with hazardous wastes to bear the cost of cleaning them up. This means that if you purchase a facility site that contains such pollutants, you may be forced to clean them up — and this could be enormously expensive. Although you would not be without defenses to such a government claim, merely proving that you in no way were the cause of the pollution is not enough. You must have had no knowledge of the condition, and you must have made a good faith effort to uncover any hazardous condition. Thus, it is vitally important that you avoid facility sites that may have been environmentally damaged by hazardous wastes.
Making sure that you won't be saddled with the expense of cleaning up someone
else's environmental mess is easier said than done. At a minimum, before you
sign a rental or sales contract for the property, you should ask your attorney
about the steps that he or she will take on your behalf to ensure that you won't
get hit with such a liability. One such step is to require the seller or
landlord to disclose in the contract whether there were prior uses that may have
had an environmental impact and any federal and state environmental notices or
investigations relating to the site. Your attorney can also advise you about
whether an environmental inspection of the site is advisable.

Test Bench: Atlantic Technology 6200e Home Theater Speakers
In the lab
Frequency response (at 2 meters) front left/right 71 Hz to 17.7 kHz ±3.7 dB center 85 Hz to 17.7 kHz ±2.3 dB surround 124 Hz to 17.1 kHz ±2.7 dB subwoofer 28 Hz to 100 Hz ±2.4 dB Sensitivity (SPL at 1 meter with 2.8 volts of pink-noise input) front left/right 90 dB center 91 dB surround 88 dB Impedance (minimum/nominal) front left/right 4.5/7 ohms center 4.3/7 ohms surround 4.2/6 ohms Bass limits (lowest frequency and maximum SPL with limit of 10% distortion at 2 meters in a large room) front left/right 40 Hz at 77 dB center 80 Hz at 91 dB surround 80 Hz at 77 dB subwoofer 20 Hz at 80 dB SPL 100 dB average SPL from 25 to 62 Hz 106 dB maximum SPL at 62 Hz bandwidth uniformity 95%
All of the curves in the frequency-response graph are weighted to reflect how sound arrives at a listener's ears with normal speaker placement. The curve for the left/right front channels reflects response of the 6200e LR with the speaker mounted on its' stand on the floor averaged over a ±30° window. The center-channel curve reflects response of the 6200e C averaged over ±45°, with double weight directly on-axis of the primary listener. The surround-channel curve shows the response of the 4200e averaged over ±60°.
Because the LR system will mostly be used with it mounted on its matching stand, which will be placed on a floor, measurements were taken with this system on the floor. Both the center and surround channel speakers were measured on a 6-foot stand, which gives anechoic results to approximately 200 Hz. All upper channel measurements are taken at a full 2 meters, which emulates a typical listening distance, allows larger speakers to fully integrate acoustically, and, unlike near-field measurements, fully includes front-panel reflections and cabinet diffraction. All basic measurements were made with all the THX Controls set to THX.
The 6200e LR with stand has a moderate 200 Hz floor bounce notch. There is also a 2 dB raised area between 1.3 and 2.5 kHz, followed by some relatively minor irregularities except for a 5 dB notch at 12.5 kHz. The 6200e C center channel begins off axis lobing at ±22.5° off axis, an effect that is basically hidden with our power averaging techniques. The center channel also has a very moderate downward sloping bass-to-treble balance as frequency is increased. The surround system has a fair degree of response notching and level changes depending on microphone position, which is usually regarded as desirable in a bi-directional surround speaker.
The operating controls on the LR and Center speakers functioned identically for all practical purposes. The Damped Room control increased response by just over 1 dB above 6 kHz; the Reverberated Room control cut response by just over a dB above 6 kHz while the Behind Screen switch increased response by just over 2 dB above 2.5 kHz. The Boundary Compensation control reduced low frequency output by approximately 6 dB-per-octave beginning at 200 Hz.
The 642e SB subwoofer's bass limits were measured with it set to maximum bandwidth and placed in the optimal corner of a 7,500-cubic-foot room. In a smaller room users can expect 2 to 3 Hz deeper extension and up to 3 dB higher sound-pressure level (SPL).
While the system has moderate overall dynamic capability, the sound pressure capability is evenly distributed, and the 642e SB will deliver 103 dB SPL or greater at any frequency above 25 Hz.
Although the crossover was rated from 40 to 140 Hz, the actual acoustic range only varied between 56 and 100 Hz. However intermediate marked settings were right on target, and there was no level/crossover function interaction.

The right to an HPV-free life
Erie County falls below national average in HPV vaccination rates – more education and promotion is needed
Teenagers in Erie County and across the United States have access to one of few vaccinations that can protect them against cancer. But in Buffalo, only around 30 percent of girls ages 13 to 17 have received the shot that can protect them from the human papillomavirus (HPV).
This rate is lower than the national average of 38 percent (only 14 percents of boys nationwide are vaccinated).
The vaccine, which protects individuals against HPV – the most common STI, which causes most cervical and other forms of cancer as well as genital warts – is only effective in preventing cervical cancer when females receive it between the ages of 10 and 25.
Essentially, the HPV vaccine is a limited-time offer, one which is all too often stymied by misinformation, fear and even mere inconvenience.
Officials are striving for an 80 percent vaccination rate by 2020, but the amount of parents choosing not to vaccinate their children is increasing. In 2008, 39.8 percent of parents didn’t vaccinate their children but by 2010, that number rose to 43.9 percent.
Vaccinations in general are a frustratingly controversial issue in the United States (who would have thought life-saving medications would still be a matter of contention in 2015?) but the HPV vaccine faces an additional hurdle because it protects against an STI.
Considering the vaccine is typically administered at around 11 or 12 years old, before most teenagers become sexually active, this often gives parents pause.
But the vaccine offers lifelong protection – receiving the shots in elementary school doesn’t encourage sixth-graders to start having sex.
Even the Catholic Medical Association supports the administration of the vaccine, which should certainly alleviate even the most conservative parents’ concerns.
The somewhat sensitive nature of the vaccine, however, is not the only challenge Erie County faces in raising its vaccination rates.
The Gardasil vaccine, one of the two HPV vaccinations available, also has a high rate of minor side effects, something that may deter teenagers and parents. About 80 percent of people experience pain and about 25 percent of people have redness or swelling after receiving the shot. Fevers are also not uncommon – 10 percent of people have fevers of about 100 degrees. Other symptoms include headaches (33 percent of people) and brief fainting spells, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The vaccine requires three separate shots, making it necessary for parents to make multiple trips to the doctor in a six-month span of time. For busy, working parents, this inconvenience may be the last straw, especially for those who are reluctant about the vaccine to begin with.
Without insurance, the vaccine is also prohibitively expensive, with each dose costing up to $170. Though services do offer reduced price for uninsured patients, these programs need to be more widespread – and better advertised.
To increase vaccination rates – and reduce fear mongering – the HPV vaccine needs to become part of everyday conversation.
Radio and television ads should be played frequently, explaining the benefits, offering solutions regarding the cost and debunking inaccurate claims about the vaccine’s risks.
And on a smaller-scale, physicians face the challenge of providing information to parents and offering encouragement while still respecting their right to make decisions for their children. Parents shouldn’t feel attacked in the doctor’s office, but medical professionals should do everything they can to promote the vaccination.
Fortunately, because the vaccination is effective on individuals up to 25 years old, outreach can also be directed at unvaccinated individuals once they’re old enough to make their own medical decisions.
It’s critical to encourage unvaccinated but independent young adults to get the shots, as these individuals only have a limited amount of time to get the vaccine and protect themselves. Reaching out to the young adults whose parents couldn’t be swayed is the last opportunity for medical professionals to help.
There should be specifically targeted outreach on college campuses and in the community to make the necessity and the availability of this vaccine known.
It’s not overly dramatic to state that receiving this vaccine is a matter of life and death – this is a life-saving measure that should never go to waste.

This is one of the illustrations I’ve created here at Zajno for Vidello, a video hosting and software built for marketing & eLearning to enhance websites conversions and help customers to learn better.
This particular illustration is visualizing one of the product’s key features which is fully customizeable video player. This allows Vidello’s customers to adjust the player in such a way so that it could better match their company’s brand and style. You can find the illustration on the Vidello website homepage.
Vidello decided to rebrand their website to mainly focus on people who run membership training sites, as well as targeting people who use video on their landing pages and sales funnels and want powerful marketing tools and secure hosting. Our task was to come up with fresh, warm and friendly human-centered illustrations.
The general concept was making the website look less corporate and more hipster largely by means of smart illustrations. Going off of this idea, we focused on creating expressive characters: nice, friendly and casual-looking folks that Vidello’s customers could easily relate to. We chose to use a pretty whimsical color palette giving preference to bright and bold colors. Besides shaping a hipster-look, we also paid great attention to making the visuals as intuitive and storytelling as possible, so that they cleverly illustrated the features being represented.
In our client’s words, the illustrations we ended up with are really smart, and we hit the nail on the head with the style as well, which is definitely good news. The work on the website is still in progress, not all of the illustrations are live yet. Stay tuned to see more! And share your feedback on this one!

Darkness, light, poetry, fantasy, beautiful naked women, Edgar Allen Poe, George R.R Martin, classic novels, Greek mythology, any mythology, science, I like comics , I don't read them like I should but I like the art work. I like imagination. I write short stories. A lot of them are fantasy based off mythology and noir elements. When I listen to music my imagination comes alive and I can visualize my fantasies. I play guitar. Smoke weed. I try to see both sides of every issue, I believe everything that ever was has both order and chaos inside of it but along with order and chaos all things have a scale that balances that order and chaos. And I'm a shy guy but if you talk to me I'll make an effort to keep interesting and entertaining conversation.

| Templars (the Knights Templar)
The Poor knights of Christ, Brothers - the Guards of the Temple.
The order of knights was formed in 1119 in the Holy Land by Hugo de Payns
to defend pilgrims from Saracens and robbers and to protect roads to Holy
Places. They received a residence from Jerusalem king Baldwin II which
was placed nearby the Temple of Salomon. Since that time they have been
called Knights of Temple - Templars.
Templars received the best bestowal in Poland from two great
antagonists. They were called: the Silesian prince Henry Brodaty and Władysław
Odonicz - the prince of Wielkopolska (middle part of Poland) and the prince
of Pomerania (north western region of Poland) - Barnim I. Beside them
other Templars'donors were princes from Poland and late bishopric of Lubusz:
Przemysl, Bolesław and Przemysl II from Wielkopolska, Bolesław from Mazowsze
(region in middle Poland), Bolesław II and Henryk III from Silesia, and
princes from Brandenburg: OttoIV, Konrad I, Otto V and Otto VI, Włost,
Mroczek from Pogorzela and the widow of Peter from Lank.
The chapel of Templars on Chwarszczany
Originally it was the castle chapel of Templars and then of Joanits. The building was erected in gothic style in 90s in 13th century. After the seven year war damages the chapel was rebuilt and restored in 1870-1899. The chapel includes relicts of earlier Roman chapels from the half of 13th century at the bottom part of fasade. It is the structure erected on a square plan closed to eastern side. The inside is covered with a cross-zebra vault supported on round wall little locks. The lump of temple is based on massive sluices substituted for cylindrical bonds covered with cupolas. The building comes from French castle chapels and is considered to stand for the copy of the Holy Grave of the Temple of Solomon. The inside is filled with gothic paintings from 1400 and restored nowadays.

80 Qi Baishi masterpieces on show at Museum of Art
About 80 works which highlight the achievements of Qi Baishi, the great master of modern Chinese painting, will be displayed at the Hong Kong Museum of Art from tomorrow (August 25) to November 26.
The exhibition, "Likeness and Unlikeness: A Selection of Works by Qi Baishi from the Liaoning Provincial Museum", featuring major areas of Qi's artistic output in ink paintings, calligraphy and seals, presents a retrospective on Qi's art.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the exhibition today (August 24), the Permanent Secretary for Home Affairs, Mrs Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, said the Liaoning Provincial Museum's predecessor - the Northeastern Museum - began strategically to build up a collection of Qi's works of various periods and themes in the 1950s when the artist was still alive. Its collections, thus, covered the artist's early and late styles that illustrate the different stages of Qi's artistic development.
"Qi was brought up in a peasant family and started off as a carpenter. His formative years coincided with the transformation of China through May Fourth Nationalist Movement, War of Resistance and the founding of a new China. Vexed by poverty and victimised by wars in his vagrant years, Qi, instead of allowing his passion for art to be eroded, intertwined his rural life with his works. In recognition, he was granted the title 'people's artist' and 'folk painter'.
"The exhibition title -- 'Likeness and Unlikeness' is taken from Qi's painting theory that 'The wonder of painting lies somewhere between likeness and unlikeness. Too much likeness would be fawning on the populace while too much unlikeness, deceiving the world.' This was the very realm that spurred Qi on with experimentations all his life," Mrs Lam said.
Born in Xiangtan, Hunan province, Qi Baishi (1864-1957) spent his childhood in the countryside. When he was 20, he came across "The Mustard Seed Garden Manual of Painting" and based his carvings and portraits on the figures in costume in the manual.
It was not until he became a student of Tan Pu (or Tan Lixian) through the introduction of Hu Qinyuan (1847-1914) that he began modelling on Wang Hui (1632-1717), who was bent on painting in the style of ancient masters.
Between 1902 and 1909, Qi's "five trips out and another five home" brought him to the northern and southern parts of the country, the sights of which stirred and inspired him. Besides painting what he saw on the way, Qi had the opportunity to view and copy many ancient masterpieces. In the process, he improved his landscape skills and eventually invented a unique style for "my own landscapes".
Proclaiming to "paint my own landscapes with my own brush and ink”, Qi liked to paint the "real mountains and rivers" that he saw back in his hometown or during his travels. Impressing the viewer with their simple beauty and straightforward composition, the landscapes were mostly done before the artist reached 60 after which he turned his attention to flowers, birds, fish and insects.
Qi was fond of painting objects commonly seen in everyday rural life such as rakes, fishing rods and bamboo baskets among a countryman's tools; reeds, hay and insects in the fields; fish, frogs, shrimps and crabs in the ponds; and sunrises and sunsets against the hills. For all the banality of the subjects, the pure and unaffected images shaped by the artist's brush and heart have a refreshing appeal to men of all tastes.
Among the wide-ranging themes in Qi's paintings, the shrimp was one of his signatures. Few people can resist the charm of the translucent shrimps that Qi brought to life with the least of brushstrokes and seemingly uncalculated interplay of light and dark ink on rice paper. They are also frequently used to expound the principle of "likeness and unlikeness", or Qi's most important discourse on painting.
In support of the exhibition, a fully illustrated catalogue will be published and available at the Gift Shop of the Museum of Art. An audio-guide to the exhibition is also available in the gallery.
The Museum of Art is located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It opens from 10am to 6pm from Sunday to Wednesday and Fridays, and from 10am to 8pm on Saturdays. It is closed on Thursdays (except public holidays). Admission is $10 and a half-price concession is available to full-time students, senior citizens and people with disabilities. Admission is free on Wednesdays.

I'm a freelance travel, lifestyle and content writer based in Melbourne. If you need the right words, I have them. Feel free to connect with me or have a look at my site https://www.clippings.me/users/daniellenorton for examples of my published work
Published July 2nd 2019
Flavours of Coburg, explore a new neighbourhood
Coburg is one of Melbourne's migrant areas and with people from other cultures come a myriad of stories and a rich heritage. Over the decades, people have come from Italy, Greece, Vietnam, the Middle East and India and they have brought the food and recipes of their mother countries to help lay the foundations for their new lives in Australia. Flavourhood Tours runs a three-hour foodie walking tour of this vibrant suburb. Participants get to experience the cultural delights of 6 different countries over 8 unique food stops.
I show up on a drizzly Melbourne morning with an umbrella in hand, ready to brave the elements. Raffaela Ceddia, the owner of the company and guide of this tour, had warned me that tours go ahead rain, hail or shine. She'd also advised me not to eat breakfast before the tour, despite the start time of 10am and by the time we finish the tour at 1pm, I'm very glad I'd listened to her.
Our first stop is Al Alamy, a Middle Eastern grocery which does a roaring breakfast trade as well as offering groceries from around the world. We are met by the shop's friendly owner, Ahmet. He's very proud of the business that he's owned for the last 14 years, and is passionate about the food. He describes the shop as "organised chaos all day long. 7am -7pm" but, from what I can see, things run very smoothly.
Our first meal of the day is a traditional Lebanese breakfast of labne pizza. A light base, slathered in labne and layered with tomato, olives, mint and chilli. I'm surprised to learn that in Turkish culture, they only eat olives in the morning. The pizza is fresh and tasty and a magical way to start the food tour.
To go with it, Ahmet brings out some warm bowls of Ful Medames (fave beans cooked with chickpeas, garlic and olive oil) and what is probably my favourite dish of the day: Fatteh, a dish of chickpeas cooked in yoghurt with butter, nuts and dry bread underneath.
Next, we head across the block to Flirting Shadows Cafe where Lucky teaches us how to make Turkish coffee. For those who don't drink caffeine, he has created the "Lucky special", a milky drink flavoured with orchid flower roots, mustik and cinnamon. Local legend has it that Lucky created this drink because a child wanted to order coffee from the shop and Lucky refused to serve it to him. Lucky' s conviction that coffee is not good for children is a demonstration of his passion for his product.
Liquid gold at Flirting Shadows
As we're nibbling Turkish delight and drinking our coffee from the miniature cups that the Turkish are so famous for, I watch as another customer requests a take away and Lucky refuses. "Turkish coffee needs to settle. If you walk around with it, it will all come up and ruin it". The customer agrees to drink it in-store.
Raffaela leads us out of the cafe and into the Walkers Arcade. It's a step back in time to the 1970s and 80s. "We're going to this lovely business called The Pie Place but we're not having pies," she says, smiling broadly. Before approaching the store, Raffaela gives her guests a history lesson about exactly how Coburg fits in to the development of Melbourne as a city.
The area was designed for farming and early in the 1800s, Pentridge Prison was constructed. The surrounding homes were occupied by wardens, guards, prison staff and their families, a mix of British and Irish settlers. After the Gold Rush in 1851, Melbourne became multicultural and, along with the Chinese settlers came Melbourne's first Chinese restaurant in the late 1800s.
Post World War II, Italian and Greek immigrants arrived in Australia and, because the land was cheap, it was great for immigrants. Lebanese and Vietnamese immigrants arrived in the seventies and the cultural mix of the suburb really started to develop. "You can literally find anything in Coburg", says Raffaela, as an elderly gent zooms past on covered scooter, like a Thai tuk tuk, tartan blanket on his legs, waving and greeting us a chirpy "good morning".
The Pie Place is now run by brothers, Justin and David. Started by their father in 1984, it has long been a favourite with locals for the Vanilla slice. The crispy pastry contrasts delicately with the creamy custard. As we stand in front of the shop, licking our fingers, a man pushing a bicycle walks past and yells out, "best pies in Coburg". I'm sure they are.
While our breakfast and breakfast dessert settle in our stomachs, we are are taken to Najaf Jewellers on Sydney Road and introduced to Hassan who explains to us that gold is a big part of middle eastern and Indian culture. Instead of property or shares, his customers prefer to invest in gold. The business sells so much gold that the owners must go to Dubai at least ten times a year to stock up on supplies.
While he's talking, I am admiring all the sparkling rings, earrings and bracelets but one item catches my eye; a 350g necklace which I later discover is worth $26,000.
Incredible, intricate pieces at Najaf Jewellery
The tour doesn't end here. We head to Victoria Mall which is like a local community European square on the Saturday morning. Men have gathered for coffee and a chat.
Raffaela recommends the Menemen at the Chorba cafe. It is the Turkish version of Shakashuka and, at $12, is a true bargain. However, we don't eat there.
Next door is the Half Moon Cafe, a halal cafe specialising in Egyptian style falafels. Instead of using chickpeas as the base for the falafel balls they use fava beans. Also added is coriander which makes the falafel bright green. It's a fresh twist on an old classic for me and, as I watch Sharif, the owner's son, scooping the mix into a spoon and frying the felafel in front of us, I know I'll be back to buy these again.
Fava Bean Felafel at Half Moon Cafe, Coburg.
It's time for another sweet, this time a Greek one, so we cross Sydney Road to enter Axilleon Caffe Cake Shop. The Pastry chef is from Thessaloniki and is one of the best chefs from the best area in Greece for cake baking. We learn a little about the different types of cakes baked and eaten by Greeks to celebrate Easter, Christmas and the New Year, then tuck in to a vegan baklava, a flaky, chewy, sweet mix of nuts and pastry that has a perfect mix of the elements that make up this Greek delight. One of my fellow tour participants declines her pastry, so I gladly eat hers too.
Baklava at Axilleon Cakes, Coburg.
The sweet tastes don't stop there. We next wander in to Trivelli Cakes, an Italian cake shop which has been located at the same site on Sydney Road for 53 years. We meet the owner, Grace, who tells us that her father started this business all those years ago and that her husband is now the chef. On the counter is a huge Cannoli cake which is filled with 50 individual cannoli. This is often ordered for parties and looks so spectacular that, while we are in the shop, no less than five people come in and ask how much it is.
The group is offered a selection of cannoli, sfogliatella, biscotti and shortbreads. My favourite is the brutto e buono. Raffaela translates the name as "ugly but good". It's crunchy on the outside and chewy inside.
This shop has anniversary celebrations every year. This year, head down on Sunday 15th September. All cannoli will be $1.50. It's too good to miss!
On our plates, we find tender beef brisket, roasted red peppers and a creole slaw. The beef has spent 18 hours in the smoker. Al, the pit master, has been bare queuing since he was a kid in Uruguay and a chef for 21 years. He has perfected the art of using apple and red gum wood to smoke the food at the Bluestone American BBQ. Applewood boosts the smoke, he says, and a branch of a living tree gives lots of green smoke, which is exactly what is needed to create tender meat. They're open all week but reserve your seat on a Tuesday night to receive a special $12.50 set meal.
Al, co-owner of Bluestone American BBQ, Coburg.
The final destination of the Flavours of Coburg tour is The Deli Coburg Cafe where we are offered an antipasto plate of prosciutto, a Western Australian salami, asiago, Tasmanian brie,
Italian olives as well as a glass of red or white wine. Italian groceries line the shop walls on one side, the other is dominated by the fridges containing hundreds of cheeses, meats, olives and delicacies from all over Italy.
The Deli Coburg Cafe
As I make my way back home, I am stuffed full of great food, brimming with new information about the history of this Melbourne suburb and armed with a list of delis, cafes, restaurants and shops to visit again in the near future.
Sometimes it really does pay to be a tourist in your own town.

Ever since being fired by the Detroit Lions as head coach, Matt Patricia has been passed around the NFL.
He cannot seem to find one place to stick or one role that fits his coaching prowess.
Last season, Patricia was the offensive play-caller for the New England Patriots.
That was a complete disaster.
Patricia has always been a defensive coach, and asking him to call plays on offense was never going to work.
That could be one of the reasons why we saw Mac Jones have a down year.
But, now a report has surfaced that Patricia has found a new home in Philadelphia.
According to Adam Schefter, the Eagles have hired Patricia as a senior defensive assistant.
And now it is official: Eagles have hired former Patriots’ assistant coach Matt Patricia as their new senior defensive assistant, per sources.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 20, 2023
This is quite a curious hire for the reigning NFC champions.
One reason is that Patricia and Eagles cornerback Darius Slay did not see eye to eye in Detroit.
The Eagles should be aware that is move could backfire on them.
— Annie Agar (@AnnieAgar) April 20, 2023
Even though Patricia will not have a major role with the Eagles, his presence could cause problems for their team.
Many fans seem to think this move will not turn out well for the Eagles.
Philly gets its first L of the season! 😂😂
— Steinmetz (@NelsonBrenner1) April 20, 2023
Also, Slay was set to leave the Eagles this offseason but re-signed with them at the last second.
Resigned slay to have him beefing with this dude all season https://t.co/SFLkJI6gXL

Nreal, a Beijing-based developer of ready-to-wear mixed reality glasses, has partnered with Qualcomm and LG Uplus.
Last week, Nreal announced it had raised an additional $16 million in funding to make its lightweight smart glasses into a powerful and immersive experience. The money came from China Everbright Limited New Economy Fund, iQiyi, Shunwei Capital, and China Growth Capital. The latest raise comes just one month after the company announced a $15 million round at the CES 2019 tech trade show in Las Vegas. That was where I saw a demo of its high-quality mixed reality glasses.
Nreal said at the Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona that it will have cross-platform compatibility with smartphones that use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 5G mobile platform. The smart glasses can be connected by a USB-C cable to a smartphone, tapping into the computing power of the phone.
The Nreal Light smart glasses will operate with low latency and high data throughput while on the go, allowing you to do things like seamlessly stream content from a smartphone to your glasses, where you can view the content. The glasses have a remarkably wide 52-degree field of view (FoV) and high-definition 1080p resolution. Nreal said they can be worn for hours at a time, since they only weigh 3 ounces (85 grams), not much more than ordinary glasses.
GamesBeat Next 2023
Join the GamesBeat community in San Francisco this October 24-25. You’ll hear from the brightest minds within the gaming industry on latest developments and their take on the future of gaming.
By partnering with smartphone brands, Nreal said it has opened up a new wave of possibilities for 5G wearables that interact with the virtual world. Whether you’re playing a mixed reality game with close to zero latency on your train ride home or conducting a buffer-free holographic video call with your colleague while out of the office, a smartphone will no longer be your sole interface to the internet, Nreal said.
Supported by 5G, Nreal said it is making access to a full mixed reality experience more available to mass consumers.
“Qualcomm is spearheading the next breakthrough in internet connectivity with 5G, while LG Uplus is forward-thinking by offering value-added compatible devices that extend the capability of smartphones,” said Nreal CEO Chi Xu in a statement. “With Qualcomm and LG Uplus’ support, Nreal will make it easier than ever to make mixed reality accessible by offering a platform that lowers the barriers to entry, through form factor, usability, and an affordable price.”
In collaboration with Qualcomm ecosystem partners, SenseTime and NetEase will develop the first set of mixed reality content for Nreal Light.
Nreal currently has 72 employees.

- Are we able to reduce the mortality and morbidity of oral cancer; Some considerations
- Medicina Oral Patologia Oral y Cirurgia Bucal

- Pages (from-to)

- Faculty of Dentistry (ACTA)
Oral cancer makes up 1%-2% of all cancers that may arise in the body. The majority of oral cancers consists of squamous cell carcinomas. Oral cancer carries a considerable mortality rate, being mainly dependent on the stage of the disease at admission. Worldwide some 50% of the patients with oral cancer present with advanced disease. There are several ways of trying to diagnose oral cancer in a lower tumor stage, being 1) mass screening or screening in selected patients, 2) reduction of patients' delay, and 3) reduction of doctors' delay. Oral cancer population-based screening ("mass screening") programs do not meet the guidelines for a successful outcome. There may be some benefit when focusing on high-risk groups, such as heavy smokers and heavy drinkers. Reported reasons for patients' delay range from fear of a diagnosis of cancer, limited accessibility of primary health care, to unawareness of the possibility of malignant oral diseases. Apparently, information campaigns in news programs and TV have little effect on patients' delay. Mouth self-examination may have some value in reducing patients'delay. Doctors' delay includes dentists' delay and diagnostic delay caused by other medical and dental health care professionals. Doctors' delay may vary from almost zero days up to more than six months. Usually, morbidity of cancer treatment is measured by quality of life (QoL) questionnaires. In the past decades this topic has drawn a lot of attention worldwide. It is a challenge to decrease the morbidity that is associated with the various treatment modalities that are used in oral cancer without substantially compromising the survival rate. Smoking cessation contributes to reducing the risk of oral cancers, with a 50% reduction in risk within five years. Indeed, risk factor reduction seems to be the most effective tool in an attempt to decrease the morbidity and mortality of oral cancer.

On January 8, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave their notice: They were to “step back” from royal life. When, exactly, was unclear. Was this immediate? Weeks from now? Months from now? The Queen of England later clarified it would be in the spring—but still, a season is pretty vague.
On Wednesday the couple officially announced a departure date: March 31.
They will give up public funding and many of their royal duties. (They’ll keep some private patronages, like the Prince Harry–founded charity Sentebale and the Invictus Games.) Much of their London-based staff was let go, suggesting that North America will essentially become their permanent base. They will live a private life. And a profitable one—the couple has expressed their desire to become financially independent.
But it’s still mid-February. What will happen between now and then?
For one, the Sussex couple will return to the United Kingdom, and soon: Prince Harry will team up with Jon Bon Jovi to rerecord “Unbroken” with the Invictus Games Choir on February 28. The couple announced the partnership on their Instagram account today.

What is the law relating to dog fouling?
Under the Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1996 it is an offence not to clean up after a dog has defecated on public land.
Where does the law apply?
Councils can order dog owners to clean up after their dogs in public area like:
- Parks/Recreation grounds/Children’s playgrounds/Sports grounds/Picnic sites
- Pedestrianised areas/Pavements/Verges/Footpaths/Carriageways
What are the penalties for dog fouling?
People who do not clean up after their dog can be given a £50 on-the-spot fine. If they refuse to pay the fine, they can be prosecuted and may face a court appearance with a maximum penalty of £1,000. Registered blind dog owners are exempt from penalties.
What if I know of someone allowing their dog to foul?
If you are aware of offenders causing a particular problem in your neighbourhood then contact the Broadland District Council’s Street Scene Team. Tel 01603 430534
What evidence does the council need?
For us to take formal action, someone has to see the dog(s) causing the fouling nuisance. That person will need to give a witness statement (available on Broadland’s website, Brundall Parish Council’s website, or by telephoning the Parish Clerk on 07809 144342) and may be required to go to Court as a witness on behalf of the Council.
What are the health risks associated with dog fouling?
Toxocara canis is a roundworm found in dogs. Roundworm eggs are found in dog mess, which can easily be picked up by young children. This causes stomach upsets, sore throats, asthma and in rare cases blindness. The eggs can remain active in the soil for many years, long after the dog mess has weathered away.
How do I clear up after my dog at home?
There are three disposal methods we would recommend for dog waste from the home:
- Most pet stores sell ‘Dog loos’. These are set into the ground and are supplied with a bioactivator to help break down dog faeces;
- The dog waste can be buried in your garden;
- The dog waste can be double wrapped in plastic bags and placed in your green wheeled bin (household rubbish).

A Cowboy's Joy Rancher Lonny Ellison has never known a woman like Joy Fuller. For one thing, she doesn't seem very interested in him, and as an ex-rodeo cowboy, Lonny's not used to that. Women mobbed the Wyoming Kid during his rodeo days! And another thing, he and Joy -- who's a schoolteacher and his sister Letty's best friend -- seem to argue constantly. But it doesn't matter, does it? Because he's not interested in Joy, either. Wait a minute. Maybe he is. At least that's what Letty seems to think their arguments are all about. Yup, she might have a point there. Now he has to convince Joy that marriage to the Wyoming Kid will be as exciting as an eight-second bull ride and as sweet as the cookies she loves to bake.

Are you looking for a natural cure for diabetes? The diagnosis of diabetes is a scary time in a person’s life. They are immediately filled with insights into lifelong insulin injections, constant blood sugar control, and gentle diets. These horrible visions often vibrate in the shoes. It’s true that it’s important to control your diet and blood sugar, but you don’t necessarily have to add daily insulin injections to your list of concerns.
What is Diabetes Codex Reviews?
The causes of diabetes are constantly changing and the list of causes is constantly growing. The cause of type 1 diabetes can be linked to the pancreas stopping insulin production, typically due to damage to the pancreas due to a serious disease in which the pancreas is attacked by the immune system, causing insulin deficiency. Diabetes Codex review The most common type of diabetes is type 2 diabetes, which is usually hereditary, but can also be caused by poor diet and lack of exercise. It is important to note that while not all diabetic parents will pass this on to their children, it is more because the lifestyle is passed on to younger generations, including poor nutrition and lack of exercise. Diabetes Codex free download It is important to understand the causes of diabetes because it can be prevented. Proper nutrition, daily exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent diabetes
Before the diagnosis of diabetes can be pre-diabetic. This diagnosis usually warns that diet and weight should be monitored to avoid a diagnosis of diabetes. If you have been diagnosed with diabetes or diabetes, you can easily get around your insulin needs. Medical studies have shown that there are a number of natural remedies that can be used to regulate and maintain adequate blood sugar levels. Diabetes Codex book These treatments include common, easy-to-find vitamin and herbal supplements.
What is inside Diabetes Codex ?
Natural remedies for diabetes include the following herbs and vitamins:
• Bitter Melon – Bitter melon is effective in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Some components of bitter melon help reduce and maintain adequate glucose levels in the body. Diabetes Codex org Diabetics are unable to properly absorb and use insulin, and bitter melon reduces the development of insulin resistance. In addition, scientists have found that bitter melon can actually increase the number of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, thereby helping the body to help itself in a natural way.
• Onions and Garlic: These delicious foods really help prevent heart disease. Diabetics are more likely to have heart disease due to a lack of insulin, which allows fat to float in the bloodstream for longer and at higher than normal levels. Onions and garlic are rich in antioxidants that help prevent fat oxidation and damage the artery wall, which can lead to plaque formation and heart disease.
• Cinnamon: Most people think of cinnamon as a seasoning for desserts or as a seasonal scent of candles. Diabetes Codex amazon However, this spice can do much more than make your home and sweets tasty and fragrant. Cinnamon has been shown to help lower blood sugar in type 2 diabetes.
Daily multivitamin supplementation is important for everyone, but it has benefits for diabetics, especially vitamins C, E, B6, B12, chromium, magnesium, zinc, ALA, and fenugreek.
How does Diabetes Codex works?
Before you start taking these supplements, it is important to do online research on the right amounts. Diabetes Codex advanced system Diabetes Codex main manual More importantly, if you are currently taking prescription medications, talk to your doctor before taking any of the above supplements to find out if there are any possible side effects.
A diagnosis of diabetes does not necessarily mean the death penalty. Proper diet, daily exercise, and consumption of any of the aforementioned dietary supplements can allow you to live a diabetes that is not insulin dependent.
In addition to the above, there are general lifestyle problems that can lead to the onset of diabetes or pre-diabetes symptoms. These include:
Benefits of Diabetes Codex
Symptoms of untreated diabetes
If the symptoms of diabetes are not treated, serious health complications can occur. Some of the following complications can last for years, while others can occur suddenly. Note: Not all subsequent complications may occur in all people.
Some eye diseases, such as glaucoma, can occur in people with diabetes. Cataracts and blurred vision also occur. Diabetes Codex customer reviews Some diabetics may experience foot problems. In its most severe form, it can lead to gangrene and possible amputation.
People with type 2 diabetes need to be especially careful when cutting nails or walking barefoot, as this can lead to sudden and virulent infections. Any foot injury should be reported to your doctor as soon as possible.
Pros of Diabetes Codex
Type 2 diabetes can also lead to high blood pressure and probable heart disease. Frequent inspections can help you avoid many of the hazards in this category. In addition, proper diet and exercise can greatly contribute to the prevention of high blood pressure and heart disease in the majority of diabetics.
Although the symptoms or signs of diabetes are often not easy to distinguish from other problems, they are well documented and reliable. If you or a family member experiences any of the above symptoms of diabetes, see your doctor. As mentioned above, the test is actually quite simple and can save your life.
Cons of Diabetes Codex
Diabetes affects many people today, even the younger generation. It’s mainly because of what we eat. Diabetes Codex manual Foods these days are full of too much sugar and too many preservatives. This is when diabetes strikes.
Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which a person has high blood sugar levels. There are two reasons: one, the body does not produce enough insulin, and two, the cells do not respond to the insulin produced. The classic symptoms of high blood sugar are frequent urination or polyuria, increased thirst or polydipsia, and increased hunger or polyphagia.
You should know about 3 types of diabetes: type I diabetes, II. Types and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce insulin and requires the person to inject insulin. Diabetes Codex website This type of diabetes causes about 10% of cases of diabetes mellitus in Europe and North America. Those most affected are those who are healthy and have a healthy weight. Type I diabetes is common in children and is therefore referred to as juvenile diabetes, but can also affect adults. Unfortunately, there is no preventive cure for this type of diabetes.
Price of Diabetes Codex
A II. A type of diabetes, on the other hand, is when cells in the body are unable to use insulin properly. The body is insulin resistant and is sometimes associated with absolute insulin deficiency. This is the most common type of diabetes. Decreased insulin sensitivity is the predominant disorder in the early stages of this type of diabetes. At this stage, hyperglycemia can be reversed by a variety of measures and medications that can improve insulin sensitivity or reduce liver glucose production.
Gestational diabetes comes from the word pregnancy, which means it occurs in pregnant women who have never had diabetes but developed high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. This type of diabetes is similar in some ways to type 2 diabetes. diabetes codex program This diabetes affects 2-5% of the entire pregnancy and may improve or disappear after childbirth. This is very manageable, but requires careful medical supervision during pregnancy. About 20-50% of them later develop type 2 diabetes. With this type of diabetes, it is not just the mother who is at risk or affected. It can also affect the health of the fetus.
Diabetes is fast becoming the deadliest disease in the world. It can affect anyone, especially those who don’t take care of their diet. Although it is not only diet that contributes to this disease, it is still one of the factors. The most important factor here is still genes. Most people with diabetes also have a parent with diabetes. Therefore, it is inherited and if not controlled or treated, it can be a lifelong problem.
You don’t have to be afraid of diabetes. We only need to equip us to fight the disease with the right information. Knowledge is the best way to fight any disease.

Bizarro Episode: The "Flying Bathtub" episode is notably weirder than the other episodes, and breaks the normal formula: Unlike normal episodes, it's Bello and Mina who have a wacky adventure together, not Bello and Goomo. There's a rap sung by the voice actors, not a pop number by Guille Milkyway like usual, the plot revolves around a literal flying bathtub and a brief scene involves a tap-dancing basketball.
Ear Worm: The theme song WILL get stuck in your head.
Les Yay: While you can interpret Bello's and Goomo's close relationship as just a friendship, it's really hard to deny the subtext between Mina and Rita in "Home, Flying Home", which included Mina moving into Rita's house for a while, them spooning in bed and Rita undressing Mina in her sleep to wash her shirt. What follows is them trying to live a week together, which goes horribly because of their different lifestyles. After getting into a big fight, Rita discovers that Mina tried the whole week to make a tea that changes colours specifically for Rita, and Mina realizes that despite their differences, she really likes Rita as well. They decide to spend another week together as roommates.

Angela Chao accompanied her father, Dr. James S.C. Chao, to Beijing in late October for the release of the biography of her late beloved mother, Mrs. Ruth Mulan Chu Chao. The book details the story of how the couple immigrated to America, founded Foremost Group, and raised six successful daughters.
Angela spoke about her parents’ emphasis on the importance of education, which is a value that her father also said he had been instilled with from his parents in addition to other lessons that would help him become successful. He added that Chinese philosophy also played a significant role in his success, particularly the value of not taking advantage of others, rather sharing the benefits for everyone’s gain.

This is a long term/permanent RV park, not a campground. The spots seem nice and they have covered metal awnings over them, but this is no place to set up camp for the weekend. Great spot close to fishing though if you are looking for long term.
We like the rustic campground here! Nice new bathhouse and playground area. They sell firewood! I do wish the campground was on the river or had water views, but it’s close by, so that’s okay.
There is a nice lodge with restaurant. The cabins here are extremely nice! They have views of the Tennessee River. Be sure to check out the wildlife rehab near the front office.
There are a few stores and restaurants close by in case you want to go out to eat if need to make a trip to the store.
We love Tennessee State Parks!
Another Mississippi State Park that has so much potential, but has been neglected. The bath house is nice, but most of the sites are extremely close together. Laundry facility’s and vending machines can be found in the bathroom.
The cove with sites 10-24 seem to be the better spots in my personal opinion. The sites on the water are nice (43,45,47).
They do have cabins for rent along with a lodge and a Marina on site. Most people that camp here are coming for the lake. This is a popular place during the summer.
We brought our small Aliner camper here to primitive camp for the first time and we couldn’t have picked a better place! The campsites have been redone in the last couple of years. Fresh gravel and wooden railing. The bathhouse is clean and easy access from all campsites.
There is a small playground close to the entrance. Lots of hiking trails and a fire tower that you can climb! We love the boardwalk trail! Unfortunately, this is our second time to visit the park and the visitors center has been closed both times. Kayaks and fishing boats available for rent.
You can’t go wrong tent camping or bringing a small RV here!
Bonus tip: This is a dark sky area, so come during the new moon phase for views of the Milky Way!
After the Covid lockdowns, this was the perfect getaway for our family. The bathrooms were clean, the campsites were a good size and well shaded. We went to the beach at Cub Lake for hours every day! There were several playgrounds around the campgrounds, I'm sure we tried them all. We had an electric site around the corner from the beach, near an older playground and bathrooms. The lake is BEAUTIFUL! The cabins looked wonderful, too. We liked that they had both a fire ring and grill. The lake water is pretty dirty, but we had plenty of fun. There was also a nice visitor's center and walking trails.
Spent 3 nights here in December, 9-12th. Only half the camp sights were open, loop 1 was closed, but that's normal for the season. There's plenty to do here, trails to hike, sights to see. Good restaurant, an old mill, waterfalls, and playgrounds for the kids. Has 50, 30, and 20 amp electric hookups and water at all sights, plus fire ring and table. Dump station in loop 2. Clean restrooms and showers are available. Sites are all paved and level, decent separation. Nice rolling hills all around, and lots of wildlife.
Camped here on Christmas Day 2020. It was very quiet and a little windy. I was the only camper but it’s on a disc golf course so I saw a couple of those guys. I went down to the parking lot so I could sleep in my car and have a fire by the water. It was great and quiet except there are parking lot lights which I didn’t see until they turned on. There are picnic tables, trash cans, and portable toilets. All in all a nice spot. I had Verizon and I think I had two bars of service. There’s also a spot a little east off an unmarked dirt road which was ok and had a fire pit. I checked it out but there was just too much litter and a half eaten deer carcass which I wasn’t vibing with.

Queen’s Baton Relay 2022
The Dutch then annexed the Island in 1633, but although they regarded it as their own, they did not establish a settlement, and left the door open for the East India Company to found the first official settlement – Jamestown – in 1659.
This gave rise to some aggressive tactics by both sides, but after a short occupation by the Dutch in 1673, which lasted but a few weeks, the East India Company went on to hold the Island under charter until 1834, when it was brought under the direct government of the Crown.
The people of the Island are UK citizens and are known as “Saints”.
They are of mixed origin, descended from British settlers sent out by the East India Company and from slaves or workers from the East Indies and Madagascar, as well as a number of Chinese and Africans.
The language of the Island has always been English. Locals have adapted the English into a “saint” dialect.
The 2021 Census, conducted in February, recorded 4,439 people living on the Island of which 4,114 are St Helenian. The Census registered 325 expatriates who are predominantly British and South African workers, along with partners and families.
An issue highlighted by the 2021 Census is the increasing number of St Helenians aged 65 years and over, which accounts for 26% of the whole St Helenian population. This is a rise of 18% more than the 2016 Census.

Moscow City Council appears to be sticking to its decision to ban a planned Gay Pride march next weekend for a sixth year in a row – despite continuing pressure from Russia’s gay movement including a protest march on Sunday.
At a press conference Pavel Samburov of the United Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rainbow Association explained why they wanted to hold the rally.
“We often can’t say who we are at work because they might not hire us, they might fire us, they can taunt us or not like us,” he said.
“The biggest sphere is society. As we have already said, LGBT people meet a huge amount of both verbal and physical violence.”
The European Union and human rights groups have been trying to overturn the ban.
But it is popular with many Muscovites who organised an anti-gay rally on Saturday.
And a recent poll reported 84 per cent of Russians believed homosexuality was immoral.

Having a child and bringing life into this world can be one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have. Becoming a parent and helping to raise someone will not only give you a sense of satisfaction, but can also be an opportunity for you to learn and grow as an individual.
However, while many parents will look forward to this journey when they are toddlers, the same cannot be said during the teenage years. Generally speaking, many parents are not well-prepared for dealing with those tough years where kids no longer listen to you in the same way they did when they were little children.
Once a child reaches adolescence, they begin to question their parents and think for themselves. This is the stage of their development where they want to begin making their own choices and you are no longer their parent but more of a guide helping them along their life journey. During this phase, it is important to keep these two things in mind:
- Structure & Discipline
“While your child may want to stand on their own two feet, do their own thing, and start making their own decisions, it is important that they still have a clear set of boundaries and that they are given structure and discipline” says Sam Miller, a teenage counselor.
When your teen reaches this stage of their life, they are going to want to test their boundaries and see what they can and cannot get away with. And while it is important for you to give your child some space so they can explore these things, it is important to remember that they are still at an age where they do not truly know what is best for them and that you may have to step in with some tough love.
“I always tell parents that when your child becomes a teenager, you may not be their best friend and that’s okay. You need to focus on being a strong role model and giving them the structure and discipline they need that will help shape them for the rest of their life. You can be their friend once they are grown up, but right now, they need you to be their parent.”
- Health Habits
One of the most important things to instill into your child is going to be a set of healthy habits. From simple things to brushing their teeth and doing their homework to more complex things like projects around the home and healthy eating, this is the stage of their life where having good habits will play a critical role in their well-being as they mature.
Many adults who struggle in life with their career, finances, health, relationships, and so on do so because they never learned how to create a set of healthy habits. Because of this, over time, their life enters into a downward spiral where they find themselves unhappy, depressed, and struggling to get by. To ensure your child does not struggle with these issues, take the time necessary to instill good habits that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

SEMO Food Bank hold holiday mobile food distributions in November, December
SOUTHEAST Mo. (KFVS) - The Southeast Missouri Food Bank will hold holiday mobile food distributions in each of its 16 counties in November and December.
According to a release from the food bank, they’ll distribute food families can use to make a traditional holiday meal, such as hams, potatoes, green beans, corn, stuffing, fruit and pie.
“We know rising food prices have made things harder for many families this year,” Joey Keys, chief executive officer of SEMO Food Bank, said. “The holidays can already be stressful, and when you’re worried about if you can afford lunch meat, how are you supposed to think about a holiday feast. We hope these holiday mobiles make it a little easier for some of our neighbors facing hunger.”
The holiday mobiles will be held in each county in the food bank’s service area in November and December, with each one having enough food to serve 200 families.
The schedule of all mobile pantries is available at www.semofoodbank.org/mobile-food-pantries/.
According to SEMO Food Bank, you may also sign up for text notifications of distributions in your county by texting the name of your county, followed by “co” with no spaces (i.e. scottco) to 51555.
Individuals are only allowed to receive food from mobile distributions in their county of residence and are asked to bring a photo ID or official piece of mail, like a utility bill, with their address for verification.

The new Republican majority in Congress has decided to remove the metal detectors that outgoing Speaker Nancy Pelosi installed outside the House chamber after the Capitol riot on January 6, according to Rep Lauren Boebert.
“When I arrived in Congress two years ago, Nancy Pelosi put this hunk of garbage outside of the House chambers for members of Congress to go through,” Ms Boebert of Colorado said in a video in front of a metal detector being hauled down on Tuesday. “Today, they are being removed and we are turning Pelosi’s house back into the People’s House.”
Republican members of the chamber chafed against the presence of the metal detectors, meant to keep members safe in the midst of an increase in political violence in the US and fears that Republican members were carrying weapons onto the floor.
On numerous occasions, Republican members of the House like Ms Boebert and Rep Matt Gaetz of Florida attempted to reach the House floor without going through the security checkpoints, in some cases pushing past Capitol police officers to get there.
We’re turning Pelosi’s House back into the People’s House. pic.twitter.com/xsnDw0kt9F
— Rep. Lauren Boebert (@RepBoebert) January 3, 2023
Democrats established fines for not going through the security checkpoints — $5,000 for a first offence, $10,000 for a second offence — and the House Ethics Committee ended up levying fines to six members in 2021 including Reps Louie Gohmert of Texas, Andrew Clyde of Georgia, and Rep Lloyd Smucker of Pennsylvania.
GOP lawmakers accused Ms Pelosi herself of failing to enter the chamber through a security checkpoint shortly after they were installed.
The conflict over the metal detectors was one of several issues Republicans took with the Democrats’ logistical operation of the House during the last Congress. Republicans also incurred fines for refusing to wear masks on the floor of the House, while police found a gun during a security screening of Rep Andy Harris of Maryland in January of 2021.
Now, though, House leadership is changing. The Republican Party retook control of the House following the November midterm elections, while Ms Pelosi stood down as Democratic leader and has been replaced by Rep Hakeem Jeffries of New York.
It is as of yet unclear who the next speaker will be, with Rep Kevin McCarthy struggling to unite the Republican caucus around his bid.
