Evaluate the feasibility of HIV self-testing (HIVST) delivery by a private pharmacy network among men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) recruited through a classic and digital Respondent Driven Sampling method to improve HIV testing in Phnom Penh, Cambodia
- Evaluate the acceptability and appropriateness of the strategy
- Identify barriers and facilitators
- Estimate the linkage to confirmatory testing for those with a reactive test and linkage to HIV care and ART for those with a positive confirmatory HIV test
- Estimate linkage to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services for negative participants
- Estimate the characteristics of participants and compare to those reported in Integrated Biological and Behavioral Survey (IBBS 2019) for MSM and TGW in Cambodia
- Evaluate the adherence of participants to a 6-monthly repeated HIV testing
An interventional pilot study using a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach will be carried out in order to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and appropriateness of the strategy and to identify barriers and facilitators.
The participant recruitment method will be designed as a Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) by recruiting initial seeds both at hotspots and on social networks. Prior to seed recruitment, a consultative meeting will be conducted in order to optimise the selection criteria of the seeds. The seeds will then distribute electronic and paper coupons to their networks physically and via social media, messaging and calling applications such as Twitter, Whatapp and Telegram (e-coupons). Each recruited participant will bring the coupon to be scanned at partner pharmacies to receive direct and free access to one HIVST kit. Partner pharmacies with a proper dedicated room/space securing privacy and secrecy in Phnom Penh are the study sites. There, trained community workers who get notified by partner at each visit of participant will do the study visit including information/consent, e-CRF filling and give a link of an external website to send the HIV test results and receive information or advices. These recruited individuals will be considered as wave 1 of recruitment and will each receive 10 additional coupons to recruit the members of their networks. The next round of individuals recruited and enrolled will be considered as wave 2, and so on.
After 6 months, a qualitative assessment via focus groups will be conducted among MSM, TGW and pharmacists to evaluate feasibility, acceptability and appropriateness of the intervention and to identify barriers and facilitators.
Several ART sites/HIV clinics particularly in charge of key populations will be specifically selected as participating centers in order to collect information on linkage to care or prevention services for positive and negative participants, respectively.
Each participant will be followed during 18 months and encouraged to perform a 6-monthly HIV testing during this period.
A pragmatic approach is carried out in which the enrolment will be stopped at the end of the inclusion period or if the number of participants reaches a maximum of 1500.

This rollicking tune from Adelaide’s Donnarumma stands on uneven footing – yet, this is very much to its merit. In its three and a half minute run time, ‘Love Your Man’ warps and morphs between different stylistic iterations of itself. Beginning purely as a rock number, and then stretching out into other territories while retaining its core progression, ‘Love Your Man’ is aurally arresting simply on account of its sheer variance in tone, while retaining unification. The tasteful use of horns, claps, intriguing vocal inflections and guitar effects where necessary weave a dense and intricate tapestry. There are theatric, vaudeville elements side by side with elements of free form jazz, big band and reggae.
Donnarumma blur the edges of genre constraints on ‘Love Your Man’ in a truly enthralling way. Frontman Louis Donnarumma has said of the track “(it) travels back to a time where I felt betrayed by my partner. The video shows this toxic relationship where the girl goes insane, kidnaps her partner and tries to kill him.”

Ever since the first car theft was reported in 1896 the menace has plagued the automobile world. Car makers and individual electronics firms alike have been striving to create a foolproof anti-theft device since. A wide variety of car alarms are available on the market today.
To put simply, car alarms consist of a host of sensors that are connected to a siren. Sensors consist of switches, pressure sensors and motion detectors. These are connected to a computer which is part of the vehicle’s alarm system.
When a vehicle is locked and the computer detects an irregularity such as a door being unlocked, etc the sensors and switches transmit a message to the computer which then turns the siren on. Motion detectors consisting of mercury-based alarms turns the siren on when a vehicle starts shaking or vibrating in case of a tow away theft. Apart from the main car battery, the siren may also be connected to a hidden battery which powers the siren in case thieves disconnect the car battery which is the siren’s primary source of power.
Car alarms also have a radio signal receiver in the form of a key fob. Button(s) on the key fob that comes with the alarm system can arm or disarm the alarm system as and when the owner of the vehicles wants to do so.
Then there are Global Positioning System (GPS)-based car alarm systems that work in sync with a regular car alarm system, the vehicles on-board Electronic Combustion Unit (ECU). GPS-based car alarm systems also features SMS (Short Messaging System), Radio Frequency Identification Solution (RFID), memory settings on cars such as seat memory position out of place, car microphone monitors voice of the driver, etc.
If the car thief has managed to crack the car’s alarm system once, one of the other systems detects an irregularity and an SMS is sent to the owner of the vehicle warning him/her of the theft of their vehicle along with the location of the vehicle via GPS tracking. GPS-based anti theft systems can even cut off the fuel supply of the vehicle bringing the vehicle to a complete halt once theft has been detected. With car thieves always on the prowl, a car alarm system is definitely one of the best way to ward them off.
Car alarm systems start from Rs. 2,500 for remote central locking systems while GPS based car tracking security systems are priced around Rs. 10,000 depending on the brand. Autocop and Nippon are reliable aftermarket car security systems to name a few.

Generic Name: hydrochlorothiazide and aliskiren (HYE droe KLOR oh THYE a zide and a LIS ke rin)
Brand Names: Tekturna HCT
What is Tekturna HCT?
Tekturna HCT contains a combination of hydrochlorothiazide and aliskiren. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.
Aliskiren (Tekturna) is an anti-hypertensive (blood pressure lowering) medication. It works by decreasing substances in the body that narrow blood vessels and raise blood pressure.
Tekturna HCT is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
Tekturna HCT may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
You should not use Tekturna HCT if you are allergic to aliskiren or hydrochlorothiazide, if you are unable to urinate, or if you are also using itraconazole (Sporanox) or cyclosporine (Gengraf, Neoral, Sandimmune). FDA pregnancy category D. Do not use Tekturna HCT if you are pregnant. Stop using this medication and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant.

Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes while you are taking Tekturna HCT, unless your doctor has told you to. It may take up to 4 weeks for this medication to control your blood pressure. Keep using this medicine as directed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.

How should I take Tekturna HCT?

Conditions that may cause very low blood pressure include: vomiting, diarrhea, heavy sweating, heart disease, dialysis, a low salt diet, or taking diuretics (water pills). Tell your doctor if you have a prolonged illness that causes diarrhea or vomiting.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often. Visit your doctor regularly.
It may take up to 4 weeks for Tekturna HCT to control your blood pressure. Keep using this medicine as directed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.

Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes while you are taking Tekturna HCT, unless your doctor has told you to.

A U.S. District Court judge is temporarily preventing officials at the White House from meeting with tech companies about social media censorship and argues such actions in the past were likely violations of the First Amendment.
The injunction on Tuesday by Louisiana Judge Terry A. Doughty was in response to recent lawsuits from attorneys general from Missouri and Louisiana. The suits allege the White House “significantly encourage[d]” or coerced tech companies to suppress free speech during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Judge Doughty is barring several federal agencies and officials — including some of President Biden’s Cabinet members along with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre — from contacting social media companies in efforts to suppress speech. Twitter, Meta, and Google were all named in the lawsuits.
The injunction states that the government’s actions “likely violate the Free Speech Clause” and that the court “is not persuaded by Defendants’ arguments,” which is a significant blow to the White House.
“During the Covid-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian’ Ministry of Truth,'” wrote Doughty.
“If the allegations made by Plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in the United States’ history,” adds the injunction. “In their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation, the Federal Government, and particularly the Defendants named here, are alleged to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment’s right to free speech.”
The injunction claims that “the censorship alleged in this case almost exclusively targeted conservative speech” but that the issues raised by the case are “beyond party lines.”
“Viewpoint discrimination is an especially egregious form of content discrimination argued Doughty. “The government must abstain from regulating speech when the specific motivating ideology or the speaker’s perspective is the rationale for the restriction.”
The cases could mean that future interactions between government officials and tech companies may be significantly limited. Exceptions could include criminal matters or national security threats on social media.
Doughty: Attorneys have produced evidence of a massive effort to suppress speech based on content
In the injunction, Judge Doughty wrote that the GOP attorneys “have produced evidence of a massive effort by Defendants, from the White House to federal agencies, to suppress speech based on its content.”
The ruling has drastic implications for technology companies, which often speak with government officials throughout national emergencies and elections.
In the ruling, Judge Doughty — who was nominated to the bench by former President Donald Trump — carved out several exceptions allowing talks between companies and the government, which would include officials informing social media platforms of national security threats, foreign efforts, and criminal activity that could throw an election in the U.S.
The ruling is likely to be appealed by the Biden administration.

When the Stasey family had its large four-day reunion once again on its B-Bar-S Ranch near Chalk Mountain in eastern Erath County, some of the family’s distant roots got reconnected for the first time since the Civil War era.
Greg Trachta, whose mother’s maiden name was Stasey, drove in from Austin for the June 7-10 reunion weekend festivities with his wife Rita Schindeler-Trachta. But Trachta wasn’t one of the familiar faces among the dozens who show up each year for the Stasey’s reunion. He was joining in for the first time ever.
“As far as I know, it was the first time his branch of the family and our branch has gotten together since the Civil War,” said Chris Stasey, who now lives in Benbrook. “It was interesting. It was really neat. I think he had a great time.”
Shortly after arriving in Glen Rose on June 9, Trachta said, “It has been since some time in the 1870s that the two branches have met — the William Anderson Stasey branch and the Thomas Hart Stasey branch.”
Trachta said the Staseys moved to northern Missouri near Hannibal from Tennessee in 1830. He made a trip to Hannibal last year after he began research for a family history book.
While there, Trachta made an amazing discovery — the discarded gravestone of Thomas John Stasey, the ancestor shared by the two branches of the family. The marking shows that he died in 1854.
“Thomas Stasey is the common ancestor for Greg Trachta and the rest of us,” Chris Stasey said, adding that Thomas was the father of William Anderson Stasey and Thomas Hart Benton Stasey.
Trachta brought the gravestone with him and posed to take a photo with it along with Chris’s brother Chad and their father, Gary.
Trachta found the gravestone while visiting the former Stasey family farm and contacting a relative of the current resident.
“His headstone became separated from the grave at some time in the past, and was stored for many years in the barn of the current owner of the old Stasey homestead. It is now in the possession of the Stasey family,” Trachta stated in an email.
Thomas John Stasey, Trachta’s great-great-great grandfather, had three sons and three daughters. Two of his sons fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War. One of them, Thomas Hart Benton Stasey, was killed on a battlefield in Missouri.
“His son is my great-grandfather,” Trachta said. “His name was also Thomas Hart Benton Stasey.”
One of the brothers, William Anderson Stasey, moved to Texas to the Kopperl area in about 1875.
“He was the patriarch of the only living descendants,” Trachta said, noting that now, “There are no Staseys in Hannibal, but there are other family members, not related to the Stasey branch.
“I was surprised when I first learned. I didn’t know there was any surviving branch. My grandfather believed that when he died, he was the last person named Stasey. So I was pleasantly surprised.”
The majority of the Stasey family members in Texas now live in the San Angelo area and the DFW Metroplex, according to Chris Stacey.
Trachta said he first learned about the Stasey connection in Texas via an online conversation with another family member.
“I had been doing geneaology and I met a cousin online who is related,” Trachta explained.
Before he headed to the reunion, Trachta said it was going to be “very meaningful” to meet members of the Texas group.
“I’m looking forward to meeting them and I think it will feel like family,” Trachta said. “I feel like I’m stepping into history and reconnecting something that got broken … was killed. In a way, I feel kind of like an ambassador.”
Chris Stasey said he found out about the family book online before ever speaking to Trachta.
“I stumbled across a book he wrote about his second great-grandfather and my third great-grandfather,” Chris Stasey said. “My third great-grandfather (William Anderson Stasey) moved to Texas in about 1875. His son bought this place (B-Bar-S Ranch).
“I said, wow, this is incredible. I emailed (Trachta) back and forth, and this year he decided he’d brave the waters.”
Trachta said the family history, written by him and his siblings a few years ago, is available as an ebook online (http:www.thbstasey.com).
The Staseys do their reunion in style, including a fish fry, golf tournament, trap shooting, domino tournament and even a fireworks display. On average, about 100 people attend, but some years that number has grown to 150 or more.
The highlight for many of the family members is the Stasey Classic — a softball game played on the family-built Stasey Field. There are bleachers on the third-base side and a public address system.
In 2012, the Glen Rose Reporter published an article highlighting the 20th anniversary of Stasey Field. It was carved out of a pasture on the working cattle ranch in 1992. That article included a photo of five Stasey men — Chance, Gary, Billy Joe (aka B.J.), Chris and Chad. Gary is the father of Chance, Chris and Chad. He is also a son of B.J., who passed away in 2013.
The games match teams from B.J.’s family (B.J.’s Bombers) versus those of Pat’s (Pat’s Slammers).
“It’s a baseball-rich and softball-rich family,” said Chris, 43. “My granddad’s brother played in the minor leagues in the late 30s and 40s. He founded the Longhorn League, and was a player, owner and manager. My granddad chose to stay on the farm. He played semipro baseball.”

These matters, such as the interpretation of wills, aspects regarding the capacity to inherit, accrual and massing are also discussed.

All - We run Thingworx mashups as "dashboards" around our facilities quite frequently. What this basically means is that we have large flat screens mounted showing data that is pulled into Thingworx from various sources on a Thingworx mashups/webpage. We are embedding application keys in the URL to work around any sort of user having to login. The users just have to open a URL shortcut, or it's automatically launched when the device boots up. I understand this isn't best practice, but it works well for us and these app key accounts are very locked down.
One issue we've unable to overcome is that when the Thingworx server is restarted, or if just Tomcat is restarted, the browser client gets briefly disconnected and then it shows it's default login prompt. In our case we primarily use Chrome, so after a restart, all our users see is this:
The resolution is fairly simple, just close and re-open the browser shortcut, but in some cases, the devices running the browsers aren't easily accessible. I suspect this really happens because once a Thingworx Mashup URL is loaded, it changes from the entered URL to a runtime URL that no longer stores the embedded app key.
Is there anything that can be done from the server, or client, side to where these dashboard clients will just automatically reconnect to the Thingworx server?
Looking for any ideas. Only current one that is showing progress is running a schedule batch file that closes all instances of Chrome and re-opens Chrome to the Thingworx URL. While this is functional, it will leave gaps between scheduled runs where users will still get the login prompt.
Could you possibly provide the URL you are using (change the servername and appkey), so we can see all the parameters passed.
Also what is the version of ThingWorx used ?
The basic URL structure is below:
After a link that is opened, it goes to something like this:
Then when the server restarts and the client browser tries to use the "runtime" URL, it requires a user to login, and creates our situation.
Sorry for the delay.
Could you try using URL of type
This works for me while the ones you sent don't and request a login indeed.
Note the order of the parameters appears to be important
Hope this helps
Thank you Christophe for the suggestions.
I tried the suggested URL, but still ran into the same issue where a login was requested. In this case, though, I was able to hit the "Cancel" button and the mashup proceeded to open, which is an improvement.
Seems like when Tomcat Restarts, all connections are challenged for credentials.
Would it be possible you specify the exact version of ThingWorx you are using (under Help > About)
and the exact version of the browser you see this behaviour .
That might make a difference because that did work for me .
It may also help to know that the dashboard mashups have an AutoRefresh widget on them. Maybe it's the refresh mechanism that is making a call back to the server when the Tomcat service is down that is causing the login prompt..?

Why did President Kennedy want to go to the moon?
Immediately after Gagarin’s flight, President Kennedy wanted to know what the United States could do in space to take the lead from the Soviets. He reported that “with a strong effort” the United States “could conceivably” beat the Soviets in sending a man around the Moon or landing a man on the Moon.
Why is going to the moon so important?
By successfully establishing a presence on the Moon, we will enhance life on Earth and prepare to explore the rest of our solar system — and beyond! Keeping astronauts healthy in a lower-gravity and higher-radiation environment than Earth is an important challenge for medical researchers.
Why did we go to the moon in the first place?
Why did the US want to go to the Moon? A space race developed between the US and the then Soviet Union, after the 1957 launch of the first Soviet Sputnik satellite. When John F Kennedy became US President in 1961, many Americans believed they were losing the race for technological superiority to their Cold War enemy.
How much did it cost to go to Mars?
The mission is expected to cost $2.7 billion, rising to $2.9 billion when inflation is factored in.
How much did it cost to go to the moon in 1969?
I write about the future of science, technology, and culture. eaching the moon was a giant leap for mankind—and for the businesses behind the project. The Apollo program’s total cost was about $25.4 billion, about $152 billion in today’s dollars.
Are there astronauts in space right now 2020?
Currently there are only three astronauts aboard the International Space Station — two Russians, Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner, and one NASA astronaut, Christopher J. Cassidy. Three others — Jessica Meir and Andrew Morgan of NASA and Oleg Skripochka of Russia — returned to Earth safely on Friday morning.
Will SpaceX docking be televised?
NASA is providing round-the-clock coverage of the Crew Dragon’s mission right now, but things kick off this morning when Behnken and Hurley do a broadcast from inside the Crew Dragon. Docking will come about a few hours later at 10:29AM ET. All of the events will take place live on NASA’s TV stream above.

Just like France crawled back to the US after being backstabbed by it with AUKUS to do its geopolitical bidding against Russia in Ukraine, it’s now doing the same in Armenia after being backstabbed by the US in Niger just a few short months ago.
The US backstabbed France in West Africa after cutting a secret deal in Niger almost two years to the day after it backstabbed that same country in the Asia-Pacific.
AFRICOM is a tool of U.S. imperialism that goes largely under the radar. Its consequences are devastating for the people of Africa.
The main objective of Sahel Alliance is to bolster stability and promote overall development in the region.
Russia and China jointly are enabling what used to be called “the Third World countries” to stand up for their rights against their colonizer.
There’s never any benefit to be gained from sharing fake news, especially when it’s about a friendly country and their leader.
The French government persists in considering the junta in Niger as illegitimate, even though the US concluded an agreement with it.
Even diehard supporters of Ukraine in the western media and think tanks are admitting that a military victory over Russia is impossible.
France is forced to react to the latest trends of patriotic military coups and the US’ pragmatic response to the most recent one in Niger.
Nothing happens by chance in politics. The French don’t understand why French-speaking Africans suddenly reject them. They console themselves by accusing Russia of dark machinations. In reality, they are only reaping the rewards of what they have sown over the last 12 years. This has nothing to do with colonialism or Françafrique and everything to do with putting the French army at the service of U.S. strategy.
France fears a deal between the interim government in Niger and Russia to retain the US’ bases in exchange that ECOWAS doesn’t invade.
The tensions in Niger and the subregion are no doubt exacerbated by the geopolitical and economic rivalry between the East and the West.

Greetings fellow Olympia History Buffs:
At our March board meeting we elected a new slate of officers. I agreed to serve as president along with a great board that includes three new board members, Mark Derricott, Karen Bowen, and Sean Krier. Our website lists all with a little bio on each.
First I would like to thank outgoing President Lanny Weaver and outgoing board member Roger Easton for the great job they did over their years of service. Under Lanny’s leadership we helped with Olympia’s 150th year birthday celebration. And thanks to Roger Easton and his team as well for organizing festivities including the Priest Point Park historical celebration & educational effort.
The fun and learning about Olympia’s history we got during the sesquicentennial celebration gives us a good start for our future programs. Continuation and expansion of our collaborative work with other Thurston County historical groups brings valuable historical information to us and to the general public that will generate interest in our history. Please feel free to contact our board with any ideas you have for future events and activities, and celebrations of Olympia’s history. In the meantime, we encourage you to check our website, read our bimonthly bulletins and this newsletter to be kept up to date on the Society’s activities and other events and information about Olympia’s history.
Thanks to you all for your continued support and membership
Ralph Blankenship, President

CHIPPEWA FALLS — A Chippewa Falls man who was arrested for drunk driving in December 2017 in the town of Wheaton will serve one year in jail after being convicted of his fifth OWI.
Justin T. Runowski, 30, 1410 Eagle St., was sentenced Wednesday in Chippewa County Court.
Judge Steve Cray ordered the jail sentence, but gave Runowski Huber work release privileges. Runowski must pay $2,277 in court costs and his driver’s license will be revoked for 33 months. Runowski also will be probation for three years.
Court records show he had a .290 blood-alcohol level when arrested, which is more than three times the legal limit.
According to the criminal complaint, police were called to the area on Highway X/River Street, just outside city limits in the town of Wheaton on Dec. 15, 2017, because Runowski’s car had become disabled, partially in the lane of traffic, with both passenger tires “completely destroyed” and off the rims. It appears that Runowski hit something or over-corrected, causing the damage to his car. Officers observed signs of alcohol use and arrested Runowski.
Online court records show Runowski was convicted of his fourth drunk-driving offense in Eau Claire County Court in 2014.

The plaintiffs in a suit challenging Lake County early-voting satellite locations are appealing a special judge's order to keep the locations open to the Indiana Supreme Court.
John B. Curley, chairman of the Lake County, Indiana, Republican Central Committee, and Jim B. Brown, a member of the Lake County Board of Elections and Registration, want the Supreme Court to grant immediate transfer to the consolidated case, John B. Curley, et al. v. Lake County Board of Elections and Registration, et al., No. 45D01-0810-PL-82, so it can be resolved before the Nov. 4 election.
Special Judge Diane Kavadias Schneider of Lake Superior Court issued an order Oct. 22 to keep the early-voting satellite locations in East Chicago, Gary, and Hammond open. The plaintiffs argued Judge Schneider's decision implicitly determined the Indiana statute's requirement of a unanimous election board vote approving satellite offices is unconstitutional and thus unenforceable. They also argue the validity of the order may create a possible subsequent challenge to the validity of the absentee votes cast at the satellite offices.

Your smartphone's camera quality is limited for a number of reasons (sensor size, for example), but one of the biggest factors is optics: you need a lot of glass to deliver the pin-sharp photos of a DSLR or mirrorless camera. That's where Harvard researchers might help. They've developed a "metalens" that substitutes the usual glass with quartz plates full of microscopic titanium oxide structures, whose patterns guide light toward the camera sensor. The technology not only leads to a much smaller lens (it's just 0.08 inches across in testing), but focus that beats even the better lenses you find in stores -- it can resolve details 400 nanometers wide, or smaller than a wavelength of light.
It's much more affordable, too, since you don't need carefully polished, difficult-to-manufacture glass. You could make the metalenses in the same factories that produce semiconductors.
This doesn't mean that you'll be shooting gallery-worthy photos with your phone in the near future. While this is a breakthrough in using the technology for visible spectrum light, Popular Science says that the metalenses used in testing were only designed to refract light in specific colors. You'd clearly need a much wider color gamut for this to work. Still, it's a start. The scientists see a day when your phone camera can take professional-grade photos, and where dedicated cameras don't need big, heavy lenses to achieve top-notch results.

Fargo, North Dakota – Doug Goehring, the commissioner of agriculture, wants to remind people that although the sale of raw milk is now permitted, it is only for fluid milk.
“A farm may now sell raw milk directly to the end consumer for personal consumption,” Goehring said. “However, this does not include other milk products such as cream, yogurt or cheese.”
Only within the state may raw milk be sold; it may not be supplied to a wholesaler or retail establishment for mass consumption. You cannot donate raw milk.
Click here to access North Dakota Century Code 4.1-25-40.1, which permits the sale of raw milk.
Additionally, you can discover more about the dairy program and a consumer and producer’s guide to raw milk.

Christopher Street West hosted their 46th annual LA Pride Musical Festival & Parade this year. The festival took place over three consecutive days from June 10th through June 12th, 2016. In previous years, it was held on the grounds of West Hollywood Park with a plethora of live music, incredible artwork, and a float-filled parade on Sunday morning.
The music lineup was what really kicked off the festival, with Krewella headlining on Friday night, Charli XCX on Saturday night, and Carly Rae Jepsen closing out the festival on Sunday night. While the headliners certainly brought the majority of the crowd, they weren’t the only ones who stole the spotlight. Breakout acts such as Bebe Rexha, who has been featured on Billboard charts with artists like Nicki Minaj, Cash Cash, and G-Eazy, also took to the Main Stage over the weekend. Pop sensation Hailee Steinfield, R&B artist Gallant, dance-pop artist Daya, and electronic singer/songwriter Shamir also brought their energy to the festival.
Several artists took the time to honor the victims of the tragic shooting in Orlando on Sunday, June 12th, 2016, with moments of silence just before their sets and often times revisiting those moments between their sets when dedicating some of their hits. Shamir also took a moment on Saturday night to dedicate one of his songs to the late The Voice contestant Christina Grimmie, who passed away the night prior.
Charli XCX brought out a few special guests for her set on Saturday including music sensation Rita Ora and Pop artist JoJo. Her set was filled with fan-favorites, an abundance of pink lighting, and plenty of crowd interaction. Bringing her spunk with hits like “I Love It,” “Fancy,” and closing with “Boom Clap,” made for a perfect ending to the second night of the festival.
Carly Rae Jepsen’s set was nothing short of spectacular. She opened her set with her contagiously catchy hit off Emotion, “Run Away With Me,” followed by performances of songs off both This Kiss and Emotion, including “Boy Problems,” “Good Time,” “Your Type,” “I Really Like You,” and of course, the hit that launched her career, “Call Me Maybe.” She took several moments to interact with the crowd throughout her set, stepping off the stage and onto the speaker system for a personal VIP experience. A special shoutout to the lighting designer who truly showcased the artist that Carly is, as she owned the spotlight that was shone on her throughout her entire set.
Despite the tragedy and fear that struck some of the attendees on Sunday, the festival went on as scheduled, thrived significantly and showed just how strong the LGBT community and foundation is. Every year the organizers of LA Pride outdo themselves and this year was no exception. The staff and crew truly are passionate about putting on an event where everyone can enjoy themselves without any cares or judgments. One thing is clear, and that is that this community is about spreading love and acceptance, and LA Pride will continue to spread that mission for years to come.

Tonight the ladies of Real Housewives of Atlanta continue their adventure in Mexico. And by "adventure" I mean full-scale bitchtastic meltdown where the currency is not pesos but shade! Led by dictatress Kenya Moore it seems no one will escape the cartel as relationships are put to the ulitmate test.
In case you missed it, last week Porsha Stewart's "bearded" marriage was the topic of discussion as Peter Thomas and Kenya wondered just what happened between her and Kordell. And this week it is Phaedra Parks whose relationship is put under a microscope!
While Tony was fully prepared to end up in the middle of the pack for this season's eliminations, he says that after he started working with NeNe he believes they could go far. But it's going to take relying on NeNe's personality to get there!
"We know athletes have an advantage but I feel like personality takes you a long way," Tony explained. "As long as we can show NeNe’s personality in a positive way, we can have her connect with the audience at home.”
Her public denial is a good thing because Teodoro's actual girlfriend hasn't been too thrilled with the gossip surrounding her beau and Porsha. The dictator's son has been seeing Castle star Tamala Jones. The actress even took to Twitter to vent her frustrations about the whole debacle, and now Porsha is trying to clear up things on her end as well!
According to sources at TMZ, Porsha has been getting frisky with wealthy African dictator's son, 42-year-old Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, whose father is the ruler of Equatorial Guinea. Does that mean she'll be moving out of the country?
Without a doubt Kandi Burruss is one of the most successful housewives with a very full life. And after her engagement to Todd Tuckershe certainly lives one of the most dramatic ones!
Due to her family being unsupportive of her marriage, Kandi has been very evasive about whether or not she will feature her wedding on TV or go the way of many Housewives before her and do a wedding spinoff. Good lord Mama Joyce will be off the chain!
StraightFromTheA reports that a wedding spinoff for the Real Housewives of Atlanta star is a definite! They report that Kandi and Todd have set a date and a wedding spinoff has been filming for the past several weeks.
She begins her Bravo blog, "Hello everyone! Welcome back to another drama filled episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta! Let’s jump right on in! Peter has always maintained a friendly relationship with all the men that he has been introduced to through the ladies. He is cool with all of them. He calls them whenever he feels like it and is happy to answer the phone when they call him — Apollo, Gregg, Todd, Kordell, and of course Walter. The men have their own relationships, and I think it’s great that they all get along. It's seems pretty ridiculous to assume that the guys would stop being cool just because they are no longer in a relationship with one of the ladies or are having issues with them.
To promote Naomi's reality show 'The Face' (airing now on Oxygen), NeNe and Naomi filmed a funny bit in which Naomi taught NeNe how to runway walk. Hopefully that will come in handy for NeNe's appearance on Dancing With The Stars!
In exchange, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star teaches Naomi how to throw some good ol' fashioned Housewives shade. Bloop! A hilarious video of NeNe and Naomi: Together At Last (lets give them a friend name – how about Neomi), and a gif are below. Enjoy!

There’s an interesting atmospheric phenomenon called Fata Morgana that will make an appearance along the horizon over the Ross Sea and Ice Shelf every now and then, and it is quite an awesome sight when you can see it right from McMurdo Station! The first time I saw it I didn’t know what was going on, so I took the opportunity to educate myself about it, and I would like to share that with all of you in this post, along with some pictures, of course!
fa·ta mor·ga·na (fä’tә môr-gä’nә): n. (Physics/General Physics) a mirage, attributed to the sorcery of Morgan le Fay [Italian, mirage, Morgan le Fay (from the belief that the mirage was caused by her witchcraft): fata, fairy (from Vulgar Latin fāta, goddess of fate) + Morgana, Morgan (probably from Old Irish Morrigain).]
A Fata Morgana is a type of complex mirage in which objects that are far away (particularly along the horizon in your field of view) are either distorted, inverted, or stretched in the vertical direction (or sometimes all of the above at the same time) so as to appear larger than they actually are. This type of mirage is commonly seen in the Polar Regions on cold days, as well as out in the open sea. Here’s a mild example of it:
If you’re as curious as I am, at this point you’re probably asking yourself how this happens. I’ll do my best to simplify the explanation (it took me quite some time and a lot of reading the same thing over and over again before I got a good grasp on it).
First off, there are a couple atmospheric conditions that are needed before you can see a Fata Morgana. One of those is that, of course, it has to be a cold day. This is important for another one of the required conditions: the presence of a “thermal inversion.” The way our atmosphere works is that as you go higher and higher the air gets colder and thinner (it expands and loses energy). A thermal inversion simply means that this pattern is reversed (or inverted): you get hot air sitting on top of cold air. On a really cold day, you can get a layer of hot air that flows over a layer of cold air, and the hot air can stay on top because it is less dense than cold air. If the temperature gradient is sharp enough (it goes from cold air below to hot air above over a relatively short distance) it will create something called an “atmospheric duct,” or a horizontal layer, in the lower atmosphere that can guide (or “duct”) light rays when they pass through it, following the curvature of the Earth. Another way of thinking about it is that, because the optical density and therefore the optical properties of hot air is also lower than those of cold air, you essentially end up with an optical lens (much like a camera lens) that can bend and re-direct the light as it goes through it. The presence of this atmospheric duct is very important because this is what creates the Fata Morgana: light is bent in the duct and arrives at your eye from a different direction than that from which it originated, making it seem like there is an object there. Here are a couple of illustrations that might help you understand that:
These figures basically depict a single point of the mirage (only one reflection, in a perfect situation), but if you can imagine that if you look in-between the mirage and the actual object you will see many other mirages of the same object, then you’re essentially imagining what happens during the Fata Morgana: you end up with a lot of mirages stacked on top of each other filling up that space, stretched from the actual object upwards into the atmosphere (the larger the atmospheric duct, the larger the effect will be) and with alternating inverted and right-side-up images, giving you the final view of a Fata Morgana.
Below are some pictures of the Fata Morgana that we have seen across the McMurdo Sound. Pretty amazing!
I have been keeping an eye out across the McMurdo Sound, trying to capture other cool Fata Morgana, but it’s been quite warm these past few weeks that we haven’t really seen much of it. As we head into the end of summer we will start getting more cold days and hopefully we’ll see more Fata Morgana. I will do my best to add some more pictures to this post through the rest of our time here!
In the meantime, enjoy these other beautiful examples of Fata Morgana from around the world (click on images for source link):

The latest round of Better Buffalo Fund awards contained funding for previously known projects but there were a few surprises. Rocco Termini received a $359,000 boost to convert a former rooming house at 72 Sycamore Street into an arts hub with live/work units and office space. The future of the site was in a bit of doubt when a neighboring structure was torched and had to be demolished (below).
Also getting a boost was Cedarland Development’s redevelopment of the Eckhardt Building at the northwest corner of Broadway and Fillmore into a mix of uses (above). Cedarland is now proposing first floor commercial space and 26 apartments on the upper floors.
Two projects, both on the East Side, are new. ArchType LLC is proposing a four-unit apartment building at 65 Northland Avenue, two blocks east of Main Street and within walking distance to light rail. The $850,000 project would be built on a vacant lot.
Also new is a $5.9 million project to develop vacant lots at 647-51 East Delavan into a 13,000 sq.ft., three-story mixed-use building (entry image). The properties are located at the southwest corner of E. Delavan and Dutton Avenue, east of Fillmore. It would contain 12 mixed-income apartments and retail space. The developer, R Kyndall Development Group, LLC is based in Warrendale, PA:
R Kyndall Development Group is a real estate development and property management company specializing in high-end commercial and residential developments. We focus on new construction, renovation, restoration, and adaptive reuse projects throughout the diverse neighborhoods of Pittsburgh.
We focus on community revitalization efforts and emphasize responsible and sustainable urban renewal. We partner with well-respected architects, interior designers, and craftsmen to create superior living experiences. By combining utility with innovative design concepts, we create thought provoking, coveted spaces for all of our clients.
More on the project from their website:
Set to open in 2019, this infill community on an abandoned corner lot in East Buffalo will help team with the community to launch the community’s food hall / shared kitchens concept as well as access to healthy cooking classes. The developers believe “giving the community” what they need raises the value of the project as a whole, both making it more attractive and bringing in more community partners.
Design Synergies Architecture is designing the project.
