9/08/o9 High Zero Festival. Baltimore's High Zero Festival has begun to sprout in the North Station area (quickly becoming Baltimore's new Bohemia, with an assist from the expanding Maryland Institute and College of Art.) The installation-exhibit wing of the free improv sound festival opened tonight at the Load of Fun Gallery. In a conscious effort to out-avant the avant-garde, some of the installations are simply out there and not terribly enticing. Still, there is much to engage the contemplative gallery visitor. Top pics are Owen Gardner's "Space is Deep," where three electronically tuned guitars emit resonant sounds as they lie propped up on paperback classics of a vanished '60's counterculture, and Ayako Kataoka's "A Girl Said," an effort to capture sound visually in a wax-like medium. Hers is the quietist but most probing of the installations as it creates a Buddhist alternative to the audial score.

Nano materials are materials that have at least one dimension (0.1-100 nm) in the three-dimensional space or are made up of them as basic units, which are roughly equivalent to the size of the 10~100 atoms closely arranged together.
It can be divided into four categories: nano powder, nano fiber, nano film and nano block. The development time of nano powder is the longest and the technology is the most mature, which is the basis of the other three kinds of products. The research on the basic theory of nanotechnology and the development of new materials have been developed rapidly, and have been widely used in traditional materials, medical equipment, electronic equipment, coatings and other industries.

Drug and Alcohol Treatment Supported By New Program
The Imani Breakthrough Recovery Program is assisting persons seeking drug and alcohol treatment.
Dr. Ayana Jordan, who serves as the program's principal investigator and as an assistant professor at Yale University, founded the program with Dr. Chyrell Bellamy of the Yale Program for Recovery and Community Health.
The program is divided between group classes and wellness coaching. During group sessions, facilitators help participants consider how culture, trauma and spirituality play a part in drug and alcohol treatment and recovery. Weekly topics include relationships, self-care, financial health and stress management.
"We're dealing with the core medical illness of having a substance use disorder and connecting interested folks to medication-assisted treatment," Jordan said.
Additional wrap-around coaching helps individuals reach their addiction recovery goals.
Jordan said participants are receptive to the program.
"People are hungry to share their story," she said. "We tackle issues such as racism, discrimination, lack of self-worth, living in risk environments and a host of issues that are never discussed in traditional systems of care, but are necessary and integral to recovery from addiction."
The program has three additional locations in New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury.
Jordan hopes to introduce the program to different states in the near future.

I am pleased to introduce a new reviewer. I had all sorts of problems finding someone into the Punk scene in Calgary (a city of over 1 million people), little did I realize that all I had to do was move to Picayune, Mississippi, a town of 20,000, and I would walk right into a Punk aficionado. Welcome Damon!
When I first glanced at the cover of this former Los Angeles Misfits cover band, I thought what I was in for was a strictly gothic experience. What hit my ears was a well played mix of the punk and gothic genre’s. While Plan 9′s vocals (voiced by Aaron Fuller), are sung in a very punk style, the lyrics are definitely much darker than you’re average punk band. This came as no surprise when I learned that Glen Danzig wrote the lyrics for three out of the sixteen tracks on this macabre mix. Even the length of the songs are more to the punk side of the coin, giving you a quick hard dose of death rock.
Being a fan of goth music myself, I generally prefer a more etheric tone. One that set’s the mood of a nice moonlit dense, dark forest at night. On the other hand if I were more of a mosh pit type of angst goth, this CD would be right up my alley. Especially with Scary Only on bass, setting the mood of a both dark and very intense atmosphere. This is extremely evident on the tracks “Blood” and “Manmade Monster”. The one thing I have an issue with on the subject of punk music, is that from the beginning one song seems to flow into and sound like the previous song before it. I realize this is the nature of punk music, but with a hybrid like this I kinda expected a little more variety. Even so “Manmade Monster” is a very good mix of two different forms of rebellion.
On a sad note, lead singer Aaron Fuller died in an unfortunate motorcycle accident on September the 30th. Our sympathies go out to his family. The music world has lost a very fine performer.

Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries announced today the launch of its new AI Networks for AI Workloads Advanced Research Report. The first report will be released in December 2023.
“The AI industry is going through a major inflection point and a tectonic shift that some industry pioneers have dubbed the “iPhone moment of AI”,” said Sameh Boujelbene, Vice President at Dell’Oro Group. “What sets these emerging AI applications apart is the sheer number of parameters that they have to manage, which would require thousands or tens of thousands of accelerated servers. Connecting these accelerated servers in large clusters requires a data center-scale fabric, known as the AI back-end network, which differs from a traditional front-end network used to connect general-purpose servers. In addition, AI workloads have distinct attributes and characteristics that propel the need for an AI fabric specifically optimized and tuned to meet the requirements of AI workloads,” added Boujelbene.
The AI Networks for AI Workloads Advanced Research Report will address key topics, including:
- What are the unique requirements of AI Networks
- What are the various network design options and topologies to support AI workloads?
- What is the total market opportunity for AI Networks?
- How big is the Back-end network vs. Front-end network?
- What is the current and future share of Ethernet vs. InfiniBand and what are the use cases driving each one of these technologies?

An exclusive excerpt of Susan Mac Nicol's Saving Alexander (October 29, 2013) is available on Heroes and Heartbreakers to members. Please log in or register at right to read the full excerpt.
Punishing himself for a horrific past that is not his fault, bestselling author Alexander Montgomery seeks redemption and love—and perhaps he will find it.
Famous author though he may be, Alexander Montgomery is not someone you take home to meet your mother. Seriously flawed, damaged by a horrific past, he’s trying hard to claw his way back to normality. But how can anyone respect what he truly is? His therapy involves regular sessions at Study in Scarlet, an exclusive S&M club.
Then comes Sage. Tall, with black hair and blue eyes, an up-and-coming actor with impossible charm and boy-next-door good looks, he’s the perfect choice to play the leading man in a TV adaptation of Alex’s latest best-seller. Even more, he is a man you introduce to your family. Which Alex would do—if he weren’t taken by another man who offers the punishments Alex prays will wipe away the past and make him the person he wants to be. Yet, perhaps there is another path to redemption. If only the solution would reach out and touch him.
Sage was the last one leaving the television studio, exhausted after a long day of filming. Seeing a light on in the office, he went over to turn it off. As he got nearer, he saw Alex slumped over the desk, arms above his head as if sleeping. Alex’s coffee cup was overturned and there was liquid all over the desk and papers.
Alex Montgomery. One of the most beautiful men he’d ever seen. Sage carefully moved the empty coffee cup to the bin and mopped up the spill with tissues he found. He felt just enough charity that he couldn’t leave Alex like he was, despite the man’s recent less than amicable mood. These past two weeks Alex had kept very much to himself. Sage had asked what was wrong, but Alex looked at him stonily, saying it was none of his business and that he wanted to be left alone. Since then, things had become a little frosty.

Cloud-first? It’s going to be ‘cloud-only’ for most, says Gartner
By Digital News Asia June 24, 2016
- Today, most provider technology innovation is already cloud-centric
- The no-cloud position will become ‘increasingly untenable’
BY 2020, a corporate ‘no-cloud’ policy will be as rare as a ‘no-Internet’ policy is today, according to Gartner Inc.
READ ALSO: Singapore’s Internet cutoff (and the resounding silence from the industry)
Cloud-first, and even cloud-only, is replacing the defensive no-cloud stance that dominated many large providers in recent years.
Today, most provider technology innovation is cloud-centric, with the stated intent of retrofitting the technology to on-premises, the research and analyst firm said in a statement.
“Aside from the fact that many organisations with a no-cloud policy actually have some under-the-radar or unavoidable cloud usage, we believe that this position will become increasingly untenable,” Gartner research vice president Jeffrey Mann.
“The cloud will increasingly be the default option for software deployment. The same is true for custom software, which increasingly is designed for some variation of the public or private cloud,” he added.
This does not mean that everything will be cloud-based, and concern will remain valid in some cases, Gartner said. However, the extreme of having nothing cloud-based will largely disappear.
Hybrid will be the most common usage of the cloud, but this will require the public cloud to be part of the overall strategy.
Technology providers will increasingly be able to assume that their customers will be able to consume cloud capabilities.
Gartner made a number of further predictions, including:
1) By 2019, more than 30% of the 100 largest vendors’ new software investments will have shifted from cloud-first to cloud-only.
The now well-established stance of cloud-first in software design and planning is gradually being augmented or replaced by cloud-only. This also applies to both private and hybrid cloud scenarios.
“More leading-edge IT capabilities will be available only in the cloud, forcing reluctant organisations closer to cloud adoption,” said Gartner Fellow and vice president Yefim V. Natis.
“While some applications and data will remain locked in older technologies, more new solutions will be cloud-based, thus further increasing demand for integration infrastructure.
“Rigid organisations cannot produce agile IT solutions. As delivery shifts more to the cloud, most IT organisations will have to reorganise to reflect the business realities of cloud computing: Continuous innovation and change; pervasive integration; competing with cloud providers for some initiatives; and crucial prevalence of influence over control in IT’s relationship with lines of business.
“While historically the greatest competitor to external service providers has been internal IT, with spend shifts, structural reorganisations and the business realities mentioned above, cloud providers will be in the position to gain the upper hand,” he added.
2) By 2020, more compute power will have been sold by IaaS and PaaS cloud providers than sold and deployed into enterprise data centres.
The Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) market has been growing more than 40% in revenue per year since 2011, and it is projected to continue to grow more than 25% per year through 2019.
By 2019, the majority of virtual machines (VMs) will be delivered by IaaS providers. By 2020, the revenue for compute IaaS and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) will exceed US$55 billion – and likely pass the revenue for servers.
“With the growth of both bimodal computing and cloud provider offerings, software-defined enterprise data centres have become less centrally important than building a strong multiprovider management capability,” said Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst Thomas J. Bittman.
“Unless very small, most enterprises will continue to have an on-premises (or hosted) data centre capability.
“But with most compute power moving to IaaS providers, enterprises and vendors need to focus on managing and leveraging the hybrid combination of on-premises, off-premises, cloud and non-cloud architectures, with a focus on managing cloud-delivered capacity efficiently and effectively,” he added.
Additional information is available to Gartner clients in the report Market Insight: Cloud Computing’s Drive to Digital Business Creates Opportunities for Providers.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court was asked Tuesday to decide who should raise a 3 1/2-year-old girl who was given up by her single mother: the South Carolina couple who adopted her at birth or her biological father, who invoked his rights as a Cherokee Indian to claim his child. The justices spent part of the morning as family court judges, and they did not envy those who must decide such emotionally trying disputes every day. "Domestic relations pose the hardest problems for judges," said Justice Anthony M. Kennedy.

More than 200 million years ago, toothy crocodile-like creatures stalked a hot, dry mega-continent while squid-like mollusks with spiral shells drifted in the surrounding ocean. Then, in what passes for an instant in geologic time, they vanished - making way for the age of the dinosaurs. How some 50% of terrestrial vertebrates and an even larger share of marine life died off in the late Triassic period has become more clear from new research published online Thursday in the journal Science.

One of the most promising frontiers in healthcare is biologic medicines - complex substances derived from living cells that can help fight chronic diseases and cancers. To encourage investment in biologics, Congress in 2010 gave drug companies what amounts to a 12-year monopoly on the substances they developed. Now, supporters of biologics are pushing lawmakers in Sacramento and other state capitals to put new hurdles in the way of knock-off compounds, called "biosimilars. " The debate over biosimilars is grounded in doubts about their safety; none have yet been approved for use in the United States.

Re "War will be hell for women too," Opinion, Feb. 1 It's fine that Lee Siegel decries the "savagery of wars produced by male egos. " But he waxes sexist in concluding that biology dictates women's unsuitability for combat. Siegel ignores the fact that many women opt to avoid motherhood and instead pursue occupations once held exclusively by men. His argument that wars should be fought by men alone is as specious as his contention that women should by virtue of their being protest war. What Siegel apparently doesn't understand is that some women make superior soldiers, not to mention that some men can quite capably carry signs protesting war.

The materials are of particular interest to congressional investigators, in part because the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is pushing for a revamping of BioWatch that would cost taxpayers $3.1 billion in its first five years.

NIR-II Photoacoustic Reporter for Biopsy-Free and Real-Time Assessment of Wilson's Disease
Qinrui Fu, Jiamin Ye, Juejun Wang, Naishun Liao, Hongjuan Feng, Lichao Su, Xiaoguang Ge, Huanghao Yang, Jibin SongSmall2021
Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare inherited disorder of copper metabolism with pathological copper hyperaccumulation in some vital organs. However, the clinical diagnosis technique of WD is complicated, aggressive, and time-consuming. In this work, a novel ratiometric photoacoustic (PA) imaging nanoprobe in the NIR-II window is developed to achieve noninvasive, rapid, and accurate Cu2+ quantitative detection in vitro and in vivo. The nanoprobe consists of Cu2+-responsive IR970 dye and a nonresponsive palladium-coated gold nanorod (AuNR-Pd), achieving a concentration-dependent ratiometric PA970/PA1260 signal change. The urinary Cu2+ content is detectable within minutes down to a detection limit of 76 × 10−9 m. This report acquisition time is several orders of magnitude shorter than those of existing detection approaches requiring complex procedure. Moreover, utilizing the ratiometric PA nanoprobe, PA imaging enables biopsy-free measurement of the liver Cu2+ content and visualization of the liver Cu2+ biodistribution of WD patient, which avoid the body injury during the clinical Cu2+ test using liver biopsy method. The NIR-II ratiometric PA detection method is simple and noninvasive with super precision, celerity, and simplification, which holds great promise as an alternative to liver biopsy for clinical diagnosis of WD.

In Apex Predator, Lane and Macklin headed down to South Florida for a wild week in the sun, but now it’s time to return to reality. Things back home might feel a bit…unsettled…for both men, and even more so when they notice two apex predators on the prowl.
Ty and Walker will take it from here, boys.
The Game Series is a BDSM series where romance meets the reality of kink. Sometimes we fall for someone we don’t match with, sometimes vanilla business gets in the way of kinky pleasure, and sometimes we have to compromise and push ourselves to overcome trauma and insecurities. No matter what, one thing is certain. This is not a perfect world—and maybe that’s why the happily ever after feels so good.

When General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chief’s of Staff, announced that the U.S. wouldn’t let the cartels “get past jump street” after the Pentagon received intelligence that they were planning to exploit the coronavirus crisis, he was not just sending a message to the drug cartels, he was sending a “message to every enemy state actor across the globe that is thinking about taking advantage of this situation in the United States” amid the coronavirus outbreak, Sara A. Carter told listeners during her podcast “The Sara Carter Show” Thursday.
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Mark Milley says drug cartels will "try to take advantage” of coronavirus pandemic: “We’re at war with COVID-19, we’re at war with terrorists and we’re at war with the drug cartels … You will not penetrate this country.” https://t.co/07pnEZYTdy pic.twitter.com/JkQRsmk6X8
— ABC News (@ABC) April 1, 2020
One of those foreign adversaries is China, Carter explained. Not only is China the origin of the pandemic, it is responsible for the manufacturing of the illicit narcotic fentanyl that’s been the fuel behind the drug crisis in the U.S. and it’s been able to bring the drug into the country with the help of their distributors, the cartels.
“Remember, China imports so much fentanyl into the United States. And the reason we’re losing so many of our young lives, so many Americans in this drug war is because of that.” Carter said, “It is because of fentanyl. It is because of the amount of narcotics that are coming in through Mexico. Remember, China pushes them in through Mexico, Mexican drug cartels then push them into the United States. Although the cartels have taken over some of the production of fentanyl inside Mexico.”
Further exacerbating the problem is China’s push into South China Sea, rich in fossil fuel. In recent days the Chinese military has deployed large-scale military assets into the area and conducted military drills. The U.S. military is having to reshuffle its resources and assisting with transferring much needed medical equipment and deploying its medical personal and ships to aid in the coronavirus outbreak.
The U.S. Navy is doing its best in attempting to balance out the needs of fighting the COVID19 pandemic and keeping watch over enemy actors. For example, the New York Times reported that the Navy is “refusing to completely evacuate an aircraft carrier where 93 service members have been confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus.”
Moreover, China has still not been held accountable for the mass quantities of fentanyl being illegally shipped into the United States. Gordon Chang, a China Expert, agreed with her on the issue. He warned that China’s control of fentanyl trafficking into the U.S. is a major national security issue.
He said that the problem will only be resolved if the U.S. puts China in check.
“These fentanyl gangs are multinational,” said Chang. “They are large. They’re well organized and in a totalitarian surveillance society that China now runs, China has to know what’s going on, and, yet, these gangs continue to operate selling fentanyl into the United States and killing Americans by the tens of thousands every year.”
He continued, “So we have to, as the General (Milley) said, these gangs are killing Americans…And China is killing Americans and we’re not going to solve the fentanyl problem until we solve the China political problem. So this is all bound up together and we’ve got to recognize that this is part of an existential attack on American society where Americans are dying and Americans are not only dying.”

Shanghai: China’s Potemkin Village
Following a recent outbreak of COVID-19, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has imposed a month-long draconian lockdown on the residents of Shanghai. The CCP has used the outbreak to persecute its own citizens, including through forced evictions and quarantines, and placing alarms on doors to prevent COVID-19 people from leaving their homes. The harsh measures have resulted in food and healthcare shortages and separation of families.
But of course, we wouldn’t know that by reading the CCP-run press readily available in the United States. Instead of presenting the facts, the CCP engages in a comprehensive propaganda campaign that props up Shanghai as a Chinese Potemkin village. The CCP media asserts that China’s actions in Shanghai are benevolent and wise, while Western criticism is a product of malice. Chinese state-run media also insists that the Shanghai lockdown promotes economic stability in China and the world.
Claim 1: China Has the Best Policy for Combating COVID-19
The CCP media portray the Shanghai lockdown as the best and ideal policy. As cited by a XinhuaNet editorial, “China’s dynamic zero-COVID approach” is “the best option to save lives,” according to a “Rwandan researcher and publisher,” “…a miracle for us to learn,” according to a Kenyan scholar, and “a very ideal response,” according to Ethiopia’s National COVID-19 Response Task Force Coordinator. According to CCP media, Chinese citizens have greeted the Shanghai lockdown warmly, even with “[a] mixed sense of intensity, unity and hopefulness,” according to China Daily.
Claim 2: The West Hypocritically Defames China
The CCP press also accuses the West of lying about the Shanghai lockdown, and using COVID policies for nefarious ends. According to XinhuaNet, “Shanghai…has never imposed what Western media described as a ‘lockdown.’” Other CCP editorials actually accuse the West of malice. One Global Times editorial claims that the lockdown “has been deliberately exaggerated by the West.” Another Global Times editorial asserts that the Western approach of “coexisting with the virus” amounts to a way “…to drive out a large number of the vulnerable people with low immunity,” and a form of “cruel social Darwinism.”
Claim 3: China’s COVID Policies Result in an Economic Windfall to China and the World
The CCP also portrays the lockdown as necessary to achieve great economic growth in China and beyond. One Global Times editorial, while conceding that the lockdown amounted to a “sealing-off,” it is “a temporary measure to better resume work and production and to make the economy and society function more effectively. Its effectiveness has been proven.” According to another Global Times editorial, China’s policy is “widely considered to be the best strategy…to both contain the epidemic and ensure stable economic development.”
In an Orwellian fashion, Chinese press claims that China is solving, not causing, the world’s economic problems. According to XinhuaNet, “China has played a decisive role in stabilizing the global economy and resuming the supply chain disrupted by COVID-19.” Citing a Bloomberg article, the same XinhuaNet editorial claims that China “has prevented a huge number of deaths at home and ensured that everything from iPhones and Teslas to fertilizer and car parts continues to flow to the rest of the world.” Chinese citizens, of course, are collateral damage: Ji Qiwei, vice-general manager of SAIC Motor Passenger Vehicle, stated that “The domestic market may be impacted a little by the COVID-19 outbreak this year, but our export market will continue to see strong growth,” according to China Daily.
While the world continues to suffer economic and human damage as a result of COVID-19, China continues to revise history regarding its role. Through its propaganda in its English publications of Xinhua, China Daily, and Global Times, China seeks to portray itself as a benevolent force in the fight against the virus.

The original San Diego Padres team was not a member of Major League Baseball. They were founded in 1936 as a minor league team and were named after the Spanish friars who founded San Diego. The young team was headlined by future MLB Hall-of-Famer Ted Williams, who helped them win their first minor league title in 1937. In 1969 the Padres were invited to join the MLB alongside three other expansion teams, present day Washington Nationals, Kansas City Royals, and the Milwaukee Brewers. For the first six seasons in the National League, they finished in last place. Continuing to grow, they won the National League West title five times and appeared in two World Series, although they failed to secure the title both times.
The San Diego Padres are very supportive of the United States military, especially considering the many military bases in the San Diego area. In 1996 they became the first professional sports team to host a military appreciation event. Four seasons later in 2000 they adopted a camouflage uniform on that is worn for Sunday games as well as Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day.
Prior to the 2004 season the Padres played their home games in the multi-purpose stadium San Diego Stadium. It is the current home to the San Diego State Aztecs football team and the former home to the San Diego Chargers, known now as the Los Angeles Chargers. Now the Padres play their home games at Petco Park which is located in the downtown area of San Diego. The ball park hosts concerts, soccer, golf and rugby events. The park was designed to bring a retro feel to the fans that visit it, only one of few MLB stadiums to do so. It was also built in a way that restaurants, offices, and other amenities are not located within the seating bowl itself. HD televisions located throughout allow fans to watch the game even while grabbing a bite to eat.

'Ferguson Effect': FBI Says Biased Media Narratives Lead to Violence Against Police
Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 video
A recent FBI study showed that one-sided media reporting and social media posts about officer-involved shooting incidents lead to further episodes of violence against police.
"This is real," former secret service agent Dan Bongino said. "The Ferguson effect is very real."
Article continues below
The study said that in the aftermath of many officer-involved shootings, the suspect involved was found to have been subjected to reports of police misconduct by the press and on social media.
Bongino, a former Maryland congressional candidate, said he speaks with police officers regularly and they tell him they have become apprehensive because of the ongoing media narrative.
He said they are now less likely to intervene in situations unless they are expressly called by their dispatcher to do so, in case they should risk a "YouTube moment."
"If they're not called out on a radio run, they won't stop for a discretionary police action because they could end up on YouTube," he said.

Memo to the leaders: here are the mayors' priorities
In this edition: the mayors share their priorities, platforms dropped, Elman on why he's running in DVW, Liberal nomination troubles, Tory candidates face off
It’s Friday the 13th. Welcome to POLICORNER — your insider’s guide to Canadian politics, policy and power. If you’re counting: the province-wide leaders’ debate is 3 sleeps away.
In this 10 minute read, we asked some of Ontario’s mayors about their priorities in this election. Nomination woes hit the Liberals — three candidates out in a week. Platform drops. Education unions ramp up endorsements. A look at the first official Tory leadership debate. Plus, Irwin Elman on why he’s running for the NDP in DVW.
Ontario’s mayors are making their priorities loud and clear as we get into the thick of the campaign. With the party chiefs set to go head-to-head on Monday for a televised leaders’ debate, we asked some of Ontario’s mayors about their top priorities in this election. Here’s what we heard:
Toronto Mayor John Tory sent a letter to the party chiefs with his top priorities. Tory — who hopes to hear back in two weeks — highlighted his five major asks:
Supporting the HousingTO action plan and providing $48 million annually in ongoing operating funding for supportive housing beginning next year.
Provide the municipality — in collab with Ottawa — with relief funding to cover the remaining $875 million COVID-19 operating budget impacts.
Completing the four priority transit lines including the $11-billion Ontario Line, the Scarborough Subway Extension and the Eglinton Crosstown.
Working with the city on the SafeTO Plan — and possibly provide funding assistance to the city.
Creating a “more robust provincial mental health care system.”
Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie said her priorities are “housing affordability, public transit, funding for cities and support for our local economy are Mississauga’s priorities. These must also be the priorities of our next provincial government.”
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson had one major ask of the leaders and local candidates — “does your party commit to negotiating with the City regarding funding 50 per cent of Ottawa’s Stage 3 LRT project?”
Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati said the city’s priorities remain the critical projects it is part of with the province — including reinstating daily GO service to and from Niagara and opening the South Niagara Site of Niagara Health. Diodati is also looking for the opening of the Entertainment Centre with OLG and an international university in our downtown core.
Guelph Mayor Cam Guthrie listed his top priorities in a statement — including the renewing of the provincial infrastructure funding framework and delivering on interregional transportation. He also highlighted the need to ensure “housing affordability and attainability by working to increase supply while respecting local decision-making” and address “brownfield remediation with funding to unlock city managed sites for affordable housing and commercial opportunities.”
Burlington Mayor Marianne Meed Ward’s priorities include “a long-term, stable, allocation-based, infrastructure funding framework” and “a commitment to working together with municipalities and the federal government on innovative solutions and partnerships to increase attainable housing options for residents.”
Meed Ward says investment in broadband internet and increased funding for health care and hospital beds are part of her priorities.
Week one of the election campaign has ended. Here is what you need to know about the past week:
Platform drop — Liberals and Greens unveil their plan
Liberal leader Steven Del Duca unveiled his long-awaited costed platform on Monday. The document — which includes $16.4 billion in new spending — forecasts a deficit of $19.9 billion for this fiscal year (as was proposed in the PC budget). Front-and-center was a plan for buck-a-ride and a handgun ban.
The party is promising to build half-a-million new homes and reinstate rent control. “We’ll end the two-tiered rental market, bringing back rent control to all rental homes across Ontario,” the red blueprint reads.
Green Party chief Mike Schreiner launched a 64-page fully costed-platform yesterday. The party's plan focuses on six key priorities — including housing and the “new climate economy.” The green blueprint is proposing to cut carbon pollution “in half by 2030 and reach net zero by 2045,” by spending $17 billion.
The party is promising to rebrand Dr. Kieran Moore’s position — designating “the Chief Medical Officer of Health as an independent officer of the Legislature in a watchdog role.” A commitment to launch an "independent public inquiry" into the province’s pandemic response is in the plan.
On education: The party is pledging to cancel EQAO and cap class sizes for grades 4 to 8 and kindergarten. The party is no longer promising an end to public funding for Catholic schools — it’s a longstanding promise that is being dropped over pandemic learning disruption.
The deadline for candidate registration has passed. We have a final tally — with four parties running a full slate of candidates and one falling short:
NDP: 124 candidates
PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE: 124 candidates
GREEN PARTY: 124 candidates
NEW BLUE: 124 candidates
LIBERAL: 122 candidates
Liberal nomination woes — three candidates dropped
Nomination troubles hit the Grits — the party dropped three candidates in three days over previous comments and views uncovered.
Aidan Kallioinen — a high schooler from Sault Ste. Marie — was dropped as the Liberal candidate in the riding over “inappropriate comments in an online gaming forum.” Parry Sound-Muskoka candidate Barry Stanley was fired after the Toronto Star uncovered a self-published book baselessly claiming “that homosexuality is caused by infants ‘rebreathing’ their own air shortly after birth.” Alec Mazurek was removed as the party’s Chatham-Kent-Leamington candidate over comments made on social media.
“We were very clear in our statement that Steven Del Duca and the Ontario Liberal Party will not accept any candidates who have a track record of bigotry or homophobia. We would expect that every party takes a similar stance,” party spokesperson Andrea Ernesaks said in a statement to newsBeyond.
Liam Hancock — who was seeking the party's nomination in Etobicoke-Lakeshore — will run in the PC-held riding. The party will also have Audrey Rahn Festeryga rep them in Chatham Kent–Leamington, as we scooped.
We took the question of how rigorous the party’s vetting process is to the party chief. “I will say that in some cases this week, there was information that came to light that was not disclosed to our party. Some of the candidates who are no longer running explained that they didn't disclose these things. I believe that our process has been rigorous. Like any other process we have in the party, we will modernize and update as we go through this,” Del Duca said.
On the polling
PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE: 37.1% (-0.1)
LIBERAL: 28.6% (—)
NDP: 23.8% (-0.5)
GREEN PARTY: 4.9% (-0.2)
OTHER: 5.6% (+0.9)
The change since POLICORNER’s previous edition is represented in the bracket.
WHY THEY’RE RUNNING
He was Ontario’s Child Advocate. Now he’s hoping to paint Don Valley West — Kathleen Wynne territory — orange.
Irwin Elman says he is running to “create and influence change.” “One of the things I wanted to do is to ensure that people in this riding — who are not normally heard in an election — are heard,” he told newsBeyond in an interview.
“I'm thinking of people who I've already engaged with. They spoke about what they wanted and needed. They had a space in the election and I'll continue to run my campaign that way. That's why I think elections are important.”
Elman is carrying the orange banner in a riding that has never voted NDP. The idea of entering politics was previously discussed — he was approached by the federal party about throwing his hat into national politics but decided not to. Elman was later approached by the party and decided to run because “the party’s foundations align with my goals for the province and the riding.”
The star NDP candidate says he chose to run provincially because he “understands the province.” “I understand how both Liberal and Conservative governments have operated from inside. Something needed to change,” he said. His big goal is to “elevate the voices of people not usually heard and counter the ideology of the current government.” “I’ve seen it up close. It’s ugly,” he said.
Elman was fired by the Ford government at the start of its mandate after an 11-year tenure as Ontario’s Child Advocate. “I get a call from one of my staff asking if I heard that they’re closing our office,” he recounted. Elman recalls that he tried calling then-Minister Lisa MacLeod but could not reach her.
“I get a call back from the Minister's chief of staff at 11:30 AM. He told me that they’ll be tabling an Omnibus bill and repealing the act that created the office,” he explained. “You had a nice little runner,” Elman says he was told.
Losing the job wasn’t the reason he decided to run — but a motivating factor. “I didn't think that it was very democratic that you repeal an act that was passed unanimously by the Legislature in an omnibus bill and then don't have any debate about it. It was just another example of the way in which politics was being done.”
“If you'll notice in my campaign, I don't ever talk about this because I don't actually want the campaign to be about that. That was done. The government had the right to do it. I don't quibble with that. What I think about is that how things are done as is important and has as much consequence as what is done,” he said.
What issues are on the top of mind for voters in DVW? Elman says he’s heard a lot about housing affordability from his community. “That goes across class. People in Leaside worry about trying to make their mortgage. If I go to Thorncliffe Park, people are concerned about not being able to eat because they’re saving for rent. Housing is really something I hear about all the time.”
Elman — who will face two other star-candidates (financial executive Stephanie Bowman for the Liberals and former Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders for the PCs) says he’s been reaching out to them. “Are we heavyweight candidates with lots of experience and skills to bring to the table. Yeah. I think that is exciting. It should mean that more eyes are on us.”
Elman’s final thoughts: “I want to see change. I can't change the world. I can't wave a wand and fix all the buildings in Thorncliffe. I can't build housing tomorrow. I cannot. My mom said you have to remember that. But you also have to remember you're not exempt from trying. And that's what I believe. It's why I'm running. It's how I'm running. And it's what I'll do after I win as an MPP.”
POLICORNER will feature a local candidate running in the election each week. Check out the first installation — featuring Liberal candidate Jill Promoli — here.
First reported in POLICORNER: OSSTF — the union representing secondary school education staff — has endorsed a slate of NDP and Liberal candidates ahead of the June election. It is one of the unions that will endorse “education-friendly candidates on a riding-by-riding basis” instead of one party in this election. Catch up on our scoop here.
The second provincial leaders’ debate is on Monday. The four major party leaders will face off in a debate from the TVO Broadcast Centre in Toronto. Steve Paikin of The Agenda and Althia Raj of the Toronto Star will moderate the debate starting at 6:30 PM. We’ll have all the highlights in next week’s newsletter and keep an eye on our Twitter over the weekend for our leaders’ debate challenge.
Ontario's NDP uncovered at least two PC MPPs who pocketed top-ups from their riding association. The party said Tourism Minister Lisa MacLeod and Associate Digital Government Minister Kaleed Rasheed took $44,000 and $23,000 from their riding associations. Global News reported of at least eight MPPs who received an MPP allowance. “All riding association expenses are approved by the local riding association executive, audited by a licensed auditor, and all audited financial statements are reviewed and approved by Elections Ontario,” party spokesperson Ivana Yelich said in a statement to newsBeyond.
The first official Conservative leadership debate was held in Edmonton on Wednesday. The six approved candidates took to the stage for a debate centered around inflation, abortion and a no-fly zone in Ukraine. The biggest headline of the debate: a pledge from Pierre Poilievre to replace the governor of the Bank of Canada. Watch the debate here:
High-profile PC candidate Stephen Lecce is under hot water after PressProgress reported that he participated in a “slave auction” during his time as a fraternity leader at Western University. “The event from 2006 was inappropriate and in no way reflects who I am as a person, which is why I unreservedly apologize,” Lecce said in a statement. “We are calling on him to withdraw as a candidate for office,” three NDP candidates said.

In last week’s newsletter, we asked for the name of the person who said: “Here's the thing: we know that during the pandemic, ridership on both provincial and municipal transit systems has dropped. We understand that we can't leave these numbers as low as they are.” That would be Liberal leader Steven Del Duca — he was announcing his party’s promise for time-limited reduced transit fares.

Suspect apprehended for armed robbery
The Livingston County Sheriff's Department detectives investigating an armed robbery at a Tyrone Township store in November followed clues from a discarded sweatshirt to find their suspect.
Detectives believe Nicholas Matthew Smith, 20, is responsible for robbing the Runyan Lake Food Center at 10005 Hartland Road at knifepoint Nov. 14.
Smith, who is being held on a $250,000 bond for armed robbery, was in court Friday for an exam conference, but the outcome was not immediately available today.
Sheriff Bob Bezotte confirmed that detectives followed evidence from the crime scene along with multiple tips over the last two weeks to help identify and track down the suspect.
When asked what that evidence might be, Bezotte confirmed that the suspect discarded the sweatshirt he was wearing during the robbery as he fled. However, Bezotte declined to say what clues and how that led detectives to Smith's door.
Police responded to the Runyan Lake store around 8:25 p.m. Nov. 14 to find the store had been robbed of an undisclosed amount of money and the subject, who was armed with a knife, had fled, running northwest.
A clerk in the store said the bandit, who was covered from head to toe in clothing, walked into the store and "right up to the counter" when he demanded the cashier give him all the money.

So we don't do it that way anymore - everyone designs one card. Much better. But we still call it that, and Ruth very cleverly offered to host a 10-10-10 on 10-10-10. There were 10 of us there, although we did 11 cards (Cathie couldn't attend but sent hers).
|Ruth went monochromatic again, and did it very nicely. The fuzzy stuff is Mulberry paper, and it adds lovely texture. And I think this is a great use of the funky paper clip.|
|Nancy designed this card. It is very elegant and would make a smashing Christmas card. It's hard to see, but the deer is embossed with tinsel, so it has a lot of glitter. The gold layers are sparkly, too.|
|Sharon came up with this lovely, simple card. It's the sort of card that stands very well on its own, or is easy to bling up a bit. Again, a good use of an odd-shaped stamp that can be hard to build a card around.|
|This is Susan's card. She kept apologizing for how simple it is, but we all loved it. This is the sort of Christmas card that you can think about making for 50 people without having a nervous breakdown!|

The new office encompasses strong connections to Career Services and the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship Programs and was supported through the Invest Syracuse initiative to enhance the student experience.
“The integration of student employment into the Division of Enrollment and the Student Experience, coupled with the partnership opportunities with Career Services and Financial Aid, further amplifies our work in preparing our students for their future. By exercising an increased awareness of awarding federal and institutional work-study funding and providing learning experiences, together, we are working to position our students for a lifetime of career and personal success,” says Vice President for Enrollment Services Ryan Williams.
The Student Employment Office seeks to advance a student’s holistic experience through broader community interactions, firsthand learning opportunities and skill building, while also expanding financial support. Leading this facet of the student experience is seasoned student employment professional Camille Donabella. Following a national search, Donabella was named the new director of student employment strategy and operations within the Enrollment Services team. For several years, Donabella has supported the University in various roles in the Office of Human Resources. Her efforts have served as a catalyst in campuswide student employment efforts. She is a two-time Syracuse alumna, earning a bachelor’s degree in English and English education and a master’s degree in organizational communication. Donabella will work to expand student employment opportunities, implement training programs, and increase the support of student connections with on- and off-campus job experiences.
“Camille has helped connect countless departments and students through job opportunities, bringing incredible understanding of student employment here on campus, as well as issues in this area happening nationally and globally,” Williams says. “In this new capacity, whether a student is looking to meet a short-term employment need or build their resume in pursuit of long-term career aspirations, under Camille’s leadership, students will be provided a path that meets both needs.”

MOSCOW, December 6. /TASS/. Specialists of the state tech corporation Rostec are carrying out work to create a testing base for airborne launchers of the next-generation strategic missile-carrying bomber PAK DA, the Rostec press office announced on Wednesday.
The Russian state tech giant made this statement after the results of the contest for the Tikhomirov Industrial Construction and Design Award were announced.
"The staff of a Rostec enterprise composed of Semyon Startsev, Dmitry Pivovarov, Alexander Malanin and Nikita Sokratov won the award in the category: ‘For Contribution to Creating the Testing Base.’ Experts singled out their work for creating a set of bench equipment for testing airborne launchers. Under the Prospective Aviation Complex of Long-Range Aviation program, the specialists carried out a full cycle of R&D and experimental design work for creating the testing base and a set of test benches," Rostec said in a statement.
Russia’s new strategic bomber
Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexey Krivoruchko told the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper in December 2019 that the conceptual design of the PAK DA aircraft had been approved and the Tupolev Aircraft Company had begun developing its working design documentation.
In 2022, TASS reported that prototypes of the latest engine codenamed Izdeliye RF for the next-generation strategic missile-carrying bomber PAK DA had undergone bench tests.
The Prospective Aviation Complex of Long-Range Aviation (abbreviated as PAK DA in Russian) has its design based on the "flying wing" scheme. The next-generation bomber will feature technologies and materials that reduce its radar signature. The aircraft will be capable of carrying existing and future strategic cruise missiles, precision bombs and hypersonic weapons and will be outfitted with the latest communications and electronic warfare systems. The bomber will fly at a subsonic speed.

RPT-UPDATE 3-Trump threatens German carmakers with 35 pct U.S. import tariff
* FACTBOX-Global carmakers in Mexico (Repeats to add link to FACTBOX. Adds comment from General Motors CEO)
* Over 2 mln still powerless after weekend storms
* Heat wave again blanketing much of U.S. East
* Violent storms left 15 dead in their wake
By Scott DiSavino
July 2 More than 2.1 million people from Illinois to Virginia remained without power Monday morning after violent storms struck over the weekend, and a heat wave continued to blanket much of the region.
The storms left more than three million homes and businesses without the power needed to run air conditioners during the heat wave, and claimed at least 15 lives, mostly from falling trees and branches across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.

American Electric Power Co Inc said Monday morning that crews were working to restore power to 465,000 customers in Virginia and West Virginia, 416,000 in Ohio, 52,000 in Indiana and 14,000 in Kentucky.
Ohio-based AEP, which distributes power to 5 million customers in 11 states, said on its website it could take a few days to restore power to all.
Virginia power company Dominion Resources Inc said it still had over 270,000 customers without electricity in its Virginia and North Carolina service areas.
Dominion said it had restored power to more than 600,000 homes and businesses.
Temperatures in Richmond, the capital of Virginia, were expected to reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) on Monday, 98 on Tuesday and 100 again on Wednesday, the July 4th U.S. Independence Day holiday, before dipping to 92 on Thursday, according to AccuWeather.com.
FirstEnergy of Ohio said Sunday it had 314,000 customers out in its five-state service area of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and New Jersey. That was down from about the 566,000 affected by the storms.
Illinois-based Exelon said its Baltimore Gas & Electric (BG&E) unit in Maryland had about 233,000 customers out, down from about 600,000 homes and businesses affected.
Washington, DC-based Pepco Holdings said it had more than 235,000 customers out in the District of Columbia and Maryland and over 100,000 out in New Jersey.

Oskar Bohme had the most incredible trumpet performing career. He played in the Budapest Opera Orchestra and then moved to St. Petersburg to play cornet for 24 years in the Mariinsky Theatre. He eventually turned to studio teaching and composing at a music school on Vasilievsky Island in St. Petersburg for nine further years, and then returned to opera with the Leningrad Drama Theatre until being exiled by Stalin for his German heritage.
Bohme’s chamber studies and chamber music for trumpet are perfectly complemented by this collection of music for cornet. The same romantic nuance and melodically driven compositional style are present here, augmented by the thick and luscious piano accompaniment you would expect from solos of this era. If you haven’t had a chance to perform these, you are going to have such a blast going through them for the first time.
You will see some representative samples to the left. Give them a look then grab an immediate PDF download above.

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – The “Halloween Safe Night Out” will again be available for children in Albany on Halloween. Kids will have a chance to get candy while also being safe.
On Wednesday, October 27, a group of senior volunteers will help put together over 1000 bags full of Halloween candy. Almost $10,000 worth of candy and snacks will be available for kids.
Any child or teen can stop by two City locations from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and receive a bag filled with candy. This lets children be safe and go home with a large bag of candy during Halloween.
Children can come to the Albany Police Station on Henry Johnson Blvd. or the parking lot across from City Mission on South Pearl St.
This event has been with the City for the last 12 years, ensuring the welfare of children and teens living in the city. This year, more bags than previous years will be handed out and bags will be delivered to group homes throughout the city.
Pastor Charlie along with Albany DA and Albany Police officers will be handing out bags and interacting with parents and children.

Deep-ripping mechanically breaks up compacted soil layers using heavy tynes working at depth to break up compacted soil layers. Tyne spacing, working depth, shallow leading tynes or discs, soil moisture content, timing and soil type all need to be taken into account before deep-ripping is considered.
Not all soils and crops respond positively to deep-ripping every season. But when they do, benefits usually last for about three seasons, or much longer if a controlled-traffic system is in place.
Deep-ripping is most effective where roots need to grow deep to access subsoil moisture.
However, if the soil below the ripping contains other constraints, such as acidity, poor structure from sodicity or subsoil salinity, the deep-ripping benefits will be limited. The addition of soil ameliorants such as lime or gypsum may be required to stabilise the soil.
It is possible to inject lime into acidic subsurface soil behind deep ripping tynes, however, this is a slow operation and difficult to implement on a large scale.
Costs and benefits
Grain yield responses to deep-ripping on deep sands and sandy earths have tended to be large and reliable, especially in high and medium rainfall areas (more than 350 millimetres). Benefits to these soils appear to last for at least three years, depending on crop rotation and soil type.
Deep-ripping of heavier-textured soils such as the sandy clay loams, loams and even sodic clays has often been found to be less reliable. More recent research has shown that the yield responses to deep-ripping can be large in the year the soil is ripped, however the benefits can be short-lived in subsequent years on these soil types.
Incorporation of organic matter and gypsum, and minimising or avoiding recompaction by installing a controlled-traffic system, help maintain the benefits of deep-ripping.
Deep-ripping duplex soils can be beneficial when the loamy layer is shallower than the depth of ripping so clay soil can be mixed with sandy topsoil increasing surface soil cation exchange capacity and reducing water repellence.
The cost is $40 to $50 per hectare for deep-ripping sandplain soils. The main influences on cost are the draft force required to pull the deep working tynes and the impact this has on fuel use and power requirements.
This can be reduced by using a shallow leading tyne ripper, which can reduce the draft force required to pull a deep-ripper.
- The ripping tynes must be able to penetrate just below the compacted soil layer.
- Soil must be moist enough to allow penetration of the ripping tynes but not so moist that the tynes cause smearing rather than fracturing and shattering the soil.
- A roller or soil packer behind the deep-ripper or attaching wings behind the tynes can minimise the risk of a rough soil surface or soil softness that can cause uneven seeding depth.
- Loosened soils can be more susceptible to compaction after deep-ripping if not managed carefully. It is recommended to leave deep-ripped soil to settle for at least two weeks before sowing.
- Research has shown that single shallow leading tynes working in-line and ahead of the deep-ripping tyne reduce the draft force by up to 18 per cent with the leading tyne working at 10 centimetres on clay-textured soil.
- On sandy-textured soils with the leading tyne working at 10cm draft force is reduced by 10 per cent.
TimingTiming involves finding the appropriate window when the soil is moist, while not conflicting with seeding. Options include:
- deep-rip after seeding but early enough not to disturb establishing plants too much (generally within three days of seeding), although this can also reduce crop establishment;
- deep-rip in the inter-row of crops sown on wide rows during the growing season; or
- deep-rip opportunistically after significant out-of-season rains.
In some situations, such as a dry finish to the season, faster water use and increased vegetative biomass caused by deep-ripping can leave insufficient stored soil water for grain filling, resulting in haying-off and reduced yields.

I got a call from Victoria just a few days before her and Steve's wedding at the Pine Island Lodge in Corolla. She was looking for a last minute videographer to capture the day, and I was thrilled to be invited! Their personalities were so evident in every shot (am I right, Ryan and Rach?), and the toasts by friends and family made it even more clear just what an awesome couple the two make. This wedding was a whole lot of fun, and the day really couldn't have been more perfect.
Check out their highlight film...oh, and be sure to stick around after the credits. :)

Nepal, a sovereign located in South Asia between India and China, nestles into the world as one of the nations with the highest rates of malnutrition. According to the World Food Programme (WFP), approximately 40% of Nepal’s children under the age of five are underdeveloped. In regions near the mountains, this percentage increases to nearly 60%. Culturally, Nepal’s malnutrition problem is a product of the amount of uninformed people. Because many women don’t know that hygiene, and proper grain intake is essential to a child’s development during it’s first few months, many children are stunted. As explained within the article, Stunting: The Cruel Curse of Malnutrition in Nepal, Sadhana Ghimire says that she didn’t know how certain actions affected her child’s chances of being stunted. She explains how a female community health-worker stressed to her how important the first 1000 days of a child’s birth are the most important and that it therein made her change the way she fed her child. Preparing the proper meal, and “simple things like washing my hands,” were just a few of the actions that her social environment helped her understand what was important.
In order to help prevent this, the article explains that Nepal’s landscape is a major factor to the widespread malnutrition population. Because malnutrition is so widely spread amongst these regions that are separated as well, tackling the situation at different fronts seems to be the only way to help. The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) is a political organization that helps address issues involving children and their emerging health needs. The organization has helped prove that the issue needs to be targeted from all aspects, not just one at a time and in an organized fashion. Nepal’s government has also been a major contributor to aiding this now epidemic problem. As of 2012, five ministries in Nepal came together and formed the Multi-Sector Nutrition Plan (MSNP) and combined with SUN (Scaling up Nutrition), are providing interventions that aim at reducing the prevalence of malnutrition in Nepal’s various sectors. Even more recently, the WFP has started a five-year program that will tackle the food insecurity, concentrating it’s aid in regions where malnutrition is the highest.
Though it was hard to find an exact anthropologist that worked closely in Nepal in order to help fight this issue, I did find a final report conducted by UNICEF titled, “Evaluation of Community Management of Acute Malnutrition” where descriptions of acts that have been conducted in Nepal in order to target the issue of malnutrition were explained. An anthropologist by the name of Pushpa Kamal Subedi was listed amongst the contributors to the relief outreach. The report stated various object of the project, costs, etc… In the book The Anthropology of Health and Healing, written by Mari Womack, presents a non-profit organization, Bread for the World, which acknowledges that Nepal’s high malnutrition rates are a problem and of major need, includes a range of biomedical and anthropological approaches to the issue.
To say that nothing is being done in order to help Nepal would be incredibly incorrect. Though I didn’t find a specific anthropologist that has been working on Nepal’s malnutrition front, the organizations that are committed to solving the problem include specialists ranging from anthropologists, medical anthropologists, medical doctors, governmental/political influential leaders, and volunteers among many others. I definitely implore people to look into this issue and will definitely be doing more research to find an anthropologist who is involved closely with this case.
