Coronavirus: Food, money, suicide-related calls for help surge, 2-1-1 Big Bend hotline says
As Florida teems with new COVID-19 cases, the 24-hour crisis hotline 2-1-1 Big Bend's March report shows the amount of calls for help have also surged.
In total, calls have increased by 69%, comparing last month to March 2019.
Food insecurity-related calls increased by a staggering six times — from 86 to 527, according to the report which was provided to the Democrat.
In addition, the hotline received 200 more calls related to financial strain.
And while general mental health calls remained in a similar ball park, suicide-related calls increased by seven times, from 16 calls received in March 2019 — to 115 in just the last month. The figure also surpasses the number of suicide-related calls in January and February 2020 combined.
Close to 400 calls were about COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus, according to the group's outreach department.
In total, the hotline had more than 2,000 calls for help last month alone.
The year before, that number was about 1,200.

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) - After some uncertainty, thousands of families in southern Arizona will continue to be covered under KidsCare after lawmakers approved funding for CHIP for the next six years.
The program provides low-cost healthcare for children whose parents make too much money to qualify for Medicaid but not enough to afford insurance.
Supporters of the program said it eases the burden for families who may be forced to choose between taking their child to the doctor or paying for their rent.
El Rio Health is one of Pima County's largest providers for KidsCare. Doctors there said families are still confused about what's going on with the program.
That's why doctors and staff are focusing on educating patients and letting them know they're still eligible for the program.
Dr. Doug Stegman, Clinical Chief Officer of Internal Medicine at El Rio, said families are relieved about the extension, but some are still uncertain and fearful.
They're worried about what happens after the six years are up. He said while they can't control what happens, providers and families can make sure lawmakers understand the need for the program.
"It's a time for the community and for us who see ourselves as voice for the people in the community to stand up to be clear about what is needed," he said.
Meanwhile, lawmakers have introduced a bill aimed at protecting the program. The idea is that KidsCare would be preserved even if federal funds for CHIP are pulled. HB 2127, however, is still being debated.

Winter triathlon raising funds for Winnipeg’s homeless
WINNIPEG -- Getting active and enjoying the winter weather can help vulnerable Winnipeggers find a warm place to sleep.
1JustCity, an organization that serves Winnipeg's homeless population, is asking Winnipeggers to join their annual winter triathlon fundraiser.
"We are really excited to be asking athletes of all kinds to join our virtual beat the cold triathlon," said Tess Whitecloud, executive director of the non-profit. "Here at The Forks for the last two years we've run an event with over 100 people gathered running and sweating."
The fundraiser usually includes about 180 athletes running a course at The Forks, something not possible during the pandemic. Due to current public health restrictions, the triathlon will mainly be held online.
People still wanting the old course will still be able to run it independently from February 5-15.
Since the triathlon is online this year, it can consist of any three sports, said Whitecloud. She gave the example of cross country skiing, snowshoeing and skating.
"We are really just encouraging people during the pandemic to still get outside and to still think about their neighbours who are experiencing life on the streets right now," Whitecloud said.
Whitecloud said the triathlon is one of 1JustCity's signature fundraisers and important to keeping the organization running.
The money raised from the triathlon will go towards 'Just a Warm Sleep,' an emergency warming centre that houses up to 30 people a night.
Along with the no barriers warming shelter, 1JustCity has extended its drop-in centre's hours to include weekends, a first in the 40 years it's been operating.
"We are recognizing that COVID is very hard on everyone and especially hard for our relatives living on the street," said Whitecloud.
You can find out more and register for the triathlon at 1JustCity's website.

Fertility rates in Western countries are near historic lows. Last year, not a single Western country was above the replacement level of 2.1 children per women.
Various factors have been proposed as potential causes of low fertility in the West, including female emancipation, the decline of religiosity and post-materialist values. One that has received little attention until recently is car seat laws.
In a fascinating preprint, Jordan Nickerson and David Solomon argue that car seat laws have prevented more than 130,000 births in the US since 2000. How have they done this? The proposed mechanism is simple. Since most cars cannot fit more than two child seats, if a couple with two children wants to have a third, they have to buy a much larger car. Yet doing so is impractical or unaffordable for many families, so they stop at two.
The authors begin by noting that car seat laws have become much more stringent over time. Between 1980 and 2020, the average age (depending on the state) when a child can ride without a car seat has increased from zero to eight, with most of most of the increase having occurred since the mid 1990s.
Note that in Europe, car seat laws are even more stringent: children must ride in a car seat until they are 1.5m – which corresponds to an age of about 12!
Nickerson and Solomon then report their main findings. Using data from the US census, they ran a model of the probability that a woman gives birth in a given year. The predictor of interest was an indicator for whether the woman had two children below the age mandate in the relevant year and state.
They found that compared to women who had at least one child above the age mandate, those who had two below were significantly less likely to give birth in a given year. Moreover, they effect was limited to households with a car – as you’d expect based on the proposed mechanism.
How large was the effect? Women with two children below the age mandate were 0.73 percentage points less likely to give birth in a given year, which represents a 7.8% drop relative to all women with two children. While this might not sound like much, it’s similar to other effects in the literature. For example, one study found that compulsory schooling reduces teen births by 8.8%.
Car seats clearly aren’t a major contributor to low fertility in the West, but it’s likely that fertility would be in their absence. Interestingly, the authors also examined their impact on car crash fatalities and found that it was small, amounting to only 57 in the year 2017. This means that for each life saved, 140 third births were prevented.
This comparison would suggest that stringent car seat laws may well fail a cost-benefit test. Like many policies, they sound good – but you always have to think about unintended consequences.


Written Question: Development of measures to stop electricity imports from unsafe nuclear facilities in third countries
(Source: European Parliament)
Date submitted: 26 March 2021
Question for written answer E-001704/2021
to the Commission
Liudas Mažylis (PPE)
Subject: Development of measures to stop electricity imports from unsafe nuclear facilities in third countries
On 3 March 2021, ENSREG experts endorsed a report on the peer review into the implementation of the Astravets stress test recommendations. Although it states that safety recommendations in priority areas have been addressed, my impression is that not all issues have been reviewed at this stage. The final report will be presented at a later stage. In the meantime, conflicting information is spreading on whether the recommendations have ‘taken into account’ possible safety incidents related to the first unit of the Astravets Nuclear Power Plant. On 10-11 December 2020, the European Council adopted conclusions calling for the examination of possible measures to prevent the commercial import of electricity from third countries generated in nuclear facilities that do not meet the safety level recognised by the EU. A similar request was made in a European Parliament resolution on the safety of the Astravets Nuclear Power Plant, which was adopted on 11 February 2021.
Could the Commission please answer the following questions?
- Which specific priority safety recommendations for the Astravets Nuclear Power Plant does the Commission consider to have been ‘implemented’, and what information backs this up?
- Does the Commission regularly analyse possible security incidents at the Astravets Nuclear Power Plant? Is the response of the Belarusian authorities that there have been no such incidents being evaluated critically?
- Has the Commission set specific deadlines for proposing measures to restrict imports of electricity from third country nuclear installations that do not meet EU safety requirements?


Nicholville, NY, Apr 05, 2012 — An artist with family roots in the Adirondacks has re-issued a book that pays tribute to her grandparents and the region. Leigh Chapman grew up on Long Island, but spent her childhood summers, and school vacations enjoying the outdoors near Nicholville. She recently returned to the North Country to teach art in Ogdensburg and Lisbon.
She told Todd Moe that riding horses, swimming and hikes through the woods were all part of her childhood that she re-created through stories and illustrations in her book.
She'll read from and sign copies of Over the River and Through the Woods on Saturday, April 14 at the Brewer Bookstore in Canton at 2 pm.

Protect Your Face: Body Art and Copyright (Part II)
April 18, 2016
By Samantha Elie
While some of us makeup challenged women consider it a feat of artistic brilliance when we achieve that perfect cat eye with our eyeliner, an individual’s makeup art is not protected under copyright law unless that cat eye is the final touch in a Cat’s stage makeup. In the landmark case Carell v. Shubert, 104 F.Supp.2d 236 (S.D.N.Y. 2000), the Southern District of New York held that the stage makeup featured in the Broadway musical Cats was protectable under copyright law. Even though the actors in the show changed, the court considered makeup to be sufficiently fixed in the same way they consider choreography (with its ever-changing dancers) to be fixed. The Cats makeup, which required up to eight layers of makeup and several hours of work each night, was found to be an original work of authorship that is fixed in a tangible medium, thereby satisfying the elements necessary for copyright protection under 17 U.S.C. § 102. Carell will
likely serve as an important precedent for Paramount Pictures and CBS, who filed a complaint in December 2015 claiming copyright infringement against Axanar, a Star Trek fan film. The complaint, Complaint, Paramount Pictures Co. v. Axanar Prod. Inc., No. 2:15-cv-09938-RGK-E (C.D.C.A. Dec. 29, 2015), alleges a wide variety of violations, ranging from copyright infringement of plot points to characters to cosmetic details. The complaint includes claims that Axanar infringed “Klingon’s spiky makeup and the Vulcans’ pointy ears and eyebrows.” Because each claim of infringement must be considered individually, the court should examine individual characters’ makeup separately not only from each other but also separate from the plot points and use of phrases such as “beam me up.” According to Carell, this original makeup, fixed in countless movies and television episodes, may also receive copyright protection. It is now up to the court to determine whether Axanar infringed on these distinctive character features.
The creative use of makeup may also garner IP protection under Trademark Law. When stage makeup is distinctive enough and used to identify a source, such as the black and white geometric full face makeup of the band KISS, it may be trademarked under the Lanham Act. While copyright protects original works of authorship, trademark protects distinctive pictures, words, or symbols used by businesses to identify goods or services in commercial activity. Registering a makeup design with the Patent and Trademark Office is uncommon, with the band KISS being the first to register a makeup-related trademark and subsequently holding most of the makeup registrations according to IPelton. Initially, the USPTO denied KISS’s application. However, the band’s lawyer, Raymond E. Scott, was able to persuade the trademark office to allow protection for the band’s makeup by proving that the distinctive makeup was more recognizable than the actual band members. To accomplish this, Scott “actually had somebody sit in for Peter Criss, the drummer, and wear the same make-up and nobody knew” the difference.
While extremely unique and time/labor intensive stage makeup may be protected by both copyright and trademark law, everyday makeup cannot be a source identifier protected by trademark law and lacks sufficient originality for copyright law. Everyday makeup may even be considered scènes à faire — an element of a creative work that is not protected under copyright law because it is customary to the genre (for example, a spy movie is expected to contain secret gadgets hidden in watches). So where on the spectrum from everyday makeup to the unique character makeup does the blurry line of copyright protection lie? Like everyday makeup, high fashion or ‘special day’ makeup — i.e. wedding, prom, red carpet, or any time a limo is involved — will not receive copyright protection. While it is customary for wedding or fashion photographers to credit makeup artists in their portfolios or magazines, it is unnecessary in the eyes of the law. The photographer retains full copyright of the finished photograph and the makeup artist has no legal recourse nor inherent right to use the photograph in their own portfolio. One way to avoid any confusion is for makeup artists to have a contract with the photographer setting out what is expected of both parties. Expectations may include the specific rights of each party, who will be credited for what, and where and how each party will receive credit.
The most recent question to arise in the realm of makeup art is whether a makeup artist can copy an avant garde artist’s dramatic facial implants without plagiarizing the original artist’s work. On January 6, 2016, c
ontemporary French artist Orlan requested subpoenas in Manhattan federal court intending to depose the creative team, including makeup artist Billy Brasfield, behind Lady Gaga’s video for “Born This Way.” The 2011 “Born This Way” video features Lady Gaga dancing around sporting what the media called “bizarre flesh-colored facial horns” accentuating her cheekbones and forehead. While Gaga’s face in the video seemed shocking to the American media, those in the French art scene familiar with Orlan saw the video and body modification as reminiscent of Orlan’s “Carnal Art” from a quarter century before. From 1990 to 1995, the French artist underwent nine plastic surgeries, altering her face and body with implants and documenting the process. Additionally, at one point during Gaga’s video, her head is placed on Plexiglas surrounded by equally made up plastic decapitated heads, an apparent nod (or ripoff) of Orlan’s 1996 work “Woman With Head.” Orlan and her team waited two years to bring the plagiarism suit against Gaga and her creative team for $31.7 million, originally filing suit in 2013 in Paris. Now, after almost three additional years, Orlan transferred the case to New York.
With so many potentially infringing images in Lady Gaga’s video, it is unclear whether Gaga’s prosthetic makeup will be held as infringing upon Orlan’s plastic surgeries or whether that issue will ever even come to a head. Even though Carell held that makeup is protectable under copyright law, the landscape of makeup art and copyright law is still relatively undeveloped. If cases such as Orlan and Axanar proceed to trial, they could help brighten the line and provide guidance in the future for the legal protection of makeup art.
- 17 U.S.C. § 102.
- Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1051 et seq. (1946).

What happened in Vegas may have stayed in Vegas.
That’s one of the arguments made Monday by attorneys defending embattled Richmond landlord Billy G. Jefferson Jr. as he faces potential new charges and more prison time for an alleged tale of hidden cash, Vegas high rolling, fake IDs and a plot to flee to England.
In firing back against the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Jefferson’s lawyers on Monday argued that he did not breach his federal guilty plea agreement and made no attempt to hide money as prosecutors alleged earlier this month. They also claim that the government “ultimately has no idea ‘what happened in Vegas,’” related to Jefferson’s trips there leading up to his guilty plea.
The defense claims that Jefferson has made a good faith effort to liquidate his real estate holdings to cover restitution payments for his tax credit fraud and last year hired commercial real estate firm CBRE to assess 29 of his properties. That resulted in a presented total value of $44.9 million for the properties, though many of his properties are now managed by receivers and will likely be liquidated out of his control by those third parties.
Jefferson has meanwhile directed his brother to hire Motley’s Asset Disposition Group to liquidate his personal effects. Court documents did not list specific details of what possessions that may be.
He also put his personal residence up for sale, the defense claims, only to have the home taken off the market after the prosecution objected to the appointed real estate agent entering the home. He had retained Historic Richmond Homes to try and sell the 6,400-square-foot home at the corner of Boulevard and Monument Avenue.
Jefferson’s defense team presented these new facts and arguments Monday in response to the U.S. Attorney’s allegations that the developer orchestrated a “breathtaking campaign” to shuffle around and hide money leading up to and in the aftermath of his guilty plea in December. Jefferson is represented by John Martin of Hunton & Williams and Chuck James of Williams Mullen.
Prosecutors argued last month that Jefferson’s alleged actions violated the plea agreement that called for a 6.5-year prison sentence. They asked for release from that initial agreement to seek the maximum 20-year sentence.
Jefferson’s defense claims that a majority of those alleged actions, including a planned charter flight to England and $400,000 in bonuses paid to business associates, happened before the plea agreement was in place and therefore cannot be used as grounds for terminating the deal.
His lawyers defended questions about at least three Las Vegas trips Jefferson allegedly took before the December plea hearing and whether he gambled away loads of money or lied by telling the IRS he did.
Both sides agree Jefferson withdrew about $2.1 million in cash while in Las Vegas. Prosecutors, in their search for assets, allege that he took home a considerable amount of that cash. They further allege that Jefferson later told an IRS agent that he gambled away or spent all of his Vegas money.
Jefferson’s camp claims prosecutors still haven’t seen records from one of at least three casinos he allegedly visited during that time and haven’t accounted for potential meals and other entertainment Jefferson may have dropped money on in Vegas. Without those records, his attorneys said it’s reasonable to infer that he could have lost or spent hundreds of thousands more elsewhere in Las Vegas, leaving him with no money to take home and hide.
“It would take about five minutes for someone willing to gamble away $437,000 in one casino to lose 10 times that in another casino,” their response reads. “And the government apparently is not even bothering to investigate whether or not defendant lost money in any private poker games or at other casinos.”
After the December plea agreement, prosecutors claim that Jefferson flouted a provision that required him to report any cash or real estate transfer in excess of $25,000. Since Dec. 19, Jefferson moved $1.6 million between his own foreign accounts, sent his ex-wife $375,000 and made several transactions valued at just less than the $25,000 reporting threshold.
The defense did not dispute that any of those cash movements occurred but argued that none of them violated the plea agreement.
First, the defense lawyers said 16 separate $100,000 transactions, which went from a Jefferson bank account in the United Arab Emirates to another in Hong Kong, did not constitute a “transfer” of funds because a transfer “implies conveyance from one party to another.”
The moving of cash between those accounts, they argue, was traceable and the cash is equally available for restitution payment in one account as it is in another. They compared the moves to Jefferson carrying physical cash from one room in his home to another.
The defense further claimed Jefferson has made $1 million of a previously agreed upon $13 million restitution requirement out of those repatriated funds.
Next, they said the money Jefferson sent to his ex-wife was part of a series of transfers ordered by the court in 2011 between him and his now ex-wife.
For the transfers that were “just under” the $25,000 threshold, the defense claims they were just that – below the amount Jefferson was required to report.
“At its core, the government wishes to assert that because he complied with the court’s order, the court should conclude that the defendant violated the court’s order,” the response reads.
Jefferson’s response made no reference to the prosecution’s claims of fake IDs featuring his photo and his brother’s personal information, which he allegedly created leading up to his plea.
In a separate memorandum filed Monday, Jefferson’s defense argued that the federal government didn’t hold up its end of the plea agreement.
His attorneys claim the government is unlawfully profiting by taking back nearly $2 million in tax credits from the West Coast firm Jefferson sold them to. That’s in addition to the already agreed upon $12.9 million Jefferson must pay in restitution.
Jefferson sold the tax credits from multiple projects to a firm listed in the court records as CUSA, which is in San Francisco.
His defense states that the IRS has sought to recapture $1.9 million in tax credits tied to rehab expenses initially deemed legitimate by IRS agents in Richmond but later found to be invalid by agents on the West Coast.
The amount of illegitimate and legitimate tax credit-qualified expenses was used in the calculation of Jefferson’s restitution total. Now, CUSA will likely seek to recover that $1.9 million from Jefferson himself, the defense said.
“In short, because of the wildly differing positions of the IRS, if the Court’s Restitution Order remains in place, defendant will have to pay $1,928,646 twice, once to the Court and once to CUSA, so that the United States can keep for itself the same amount,” the memo reads.
A hearing to determine which side, if either, is guilty of breaching the plea agreement is scheduled for May 7. Jefferson is scheduled to be sentenced on May 9, though that date may be pushed back in light of new charges the U.S. Attorney’s Office said it intends to file.

Our small ship has negotiated the glittering chain that is Norway's Trondelag archipelago in the Norwegian Sea, threading through myriad islands, islets and skerries to sail into the elongated Trondheimsfjorden.
Visions of Norway generally conjure lacy fiord landscapes or Arctic Tundra, but Trondelag, and its capital Trondheim, wedged into the heart of the country, is Norway's quietly achieving region.
This is the birthplace of modern Scandinavian democracy – Norway is the world's oldest continuously functioning democracy whose heritage dates back more than 1000 years.
Trondheim is the burial place of Norway's patron saint and the first Viking Christian king, St Olav. And it is at St Olav's burial site at Nidaros Cathedral where the St Olav Ways, the Nordic countries' most significant pilgrimage site, concludes.
Would-be pilgrims will be delighted to learn that Trondelag is also Norway's primary foodie region. The mild, humid coastal areas rising to the dry, cold plateaux and mountains yield a cornucopia of organic produce.
The region is alive with Norway lobsters, Hitra crabs, Froya scallops, salmon and blue mussels to mushroom-munching free-range pork, wild sheep, organic beef and milk, "grotteost" (cave cheese) and spectacular berries, game, local craft beer and aquavit made from local caraway and other herbs.
We've come here as part of APT's Majestic Norwegian fiords journey from Tromso to Copenhagen aboard the MS Island Sky. Our six-kilometre guided walk from the dock into the handsome town of Trondheim introduces us to "the city in the middle's" 1000-year-old history, depositing us at Nidaros Cathedral where we are able to contemplate at leisure St Olav's achievements.
We are also able to escape the rain in the world's northernmost Gothic cathedral's visitor centre cafe with a decadent Norwegian sjokoladekake (choccie cake) and flat white.
The story of Olav II Haraldsson, born 995, son of a Viking king and great grandson of Harald Fairhair, is woven through many a contemporary Viking television series.
Olav the Holy (aka Olav the Stout – possibly also fond of sjokoladekake) went on his first Viking expedition at 12, pillaging and plundering for some years. This included, according to the Norse Sagas, attacking the Saxon incarnation of London Bridge by pulling it down with ropes tied to his longboats. The nursery rhyme London Bridge is Falling Down might have originated from this event.
He was baptised in 1014, elected the Norwegian king in 1015, after which he united Norway under a new Christian legislation.
Olav died in 1030 at the Battle of Stiklestad, about 90 minutes from Trondheim, fighting the Danish Vikings – Norwegians mark this battle as the end of the Viking period and the beginning of the medieval period. He was buried in secret but his body was moved to Trondheim a year later.
When exhumed, miraculously it had not decomposed. People who touched it were cured of illness. As a result Olav was canonised in 1031 and the Nidaros Cathedral was built over his burial site.
St Olav's shrine in Trondheim's Nidaros Cathedral subsequently became the most important destination for medieval Nordic pilgrims. Nidaros was the former name of Trondheim and was the Norwegian capital for much of the Viking era.
Though not as well known as the Camino de Santiago, St Olav Ways is a network of ancient routes over mountains and rivers to Nidaros Cathedral.
Signposting of the paths started in 1994 and more than 5000 kilometres have now been marked with the St Olav's cross logo – look out for the cathedral's 0-kilometre stone marker. St Olav's Ways is a European Cultural Route.
In summer, there's an evening pilgrim service and pilgrims who've completed the last 100 kilometres can claim the St Olav's letter. Trondheim has an annual St Olav's Festival.
The Gothic cathedral's western front is spectacularly carved, though only five of the medieval statues survive. The western facade's stained-glass rose window is early 20th century.
It's dark inside but there's some nice Gothic and Romanesque architecture, the shrine, two altars, medieval chapter house and crypt containing marble gravestones. In summer, you can climb the 172-step tower.
A combined ticket includes the adjacent 12th-century Archbishop's Palace – one of Europe's best-preserved buildings of its type.
Trondelag is a happy region peopled by a type of Norwegian known as "the friendly Tronder". They describe themselves as complex, inventive, courageous, adventurous, peaceful, rounded, hospitable and selfless.

If ever there was a case for having your dog microchipped, this is it. 72 year old dog owner Liz Hiorns recently lost her dog, a Jack Russell named Penny. The dog didn’t have a microchip – which could have contained important data such as the dog’s name, address and the phone number of its owner. Nor did the dog have a collar and name tag – so the chances of the dog being returned were slim.
Luckily the dog was found by a dog warden and taken to a rescue centre in Tibberton, Danemere Animal Rescue Centre. However, because the dog had no nametag, or a microchip, staff had no way of tracing the owner. Following their own procedures, they sold the dog to a family living 30 miles from Liz Hiorns.
Mrs Hiorns only discovered that her dog had been found, and subsequently sold, after she contacted a local vet on the advice of her friend. The vet told her that a dog that sounded as though may have been Penny was found in Stratford-upon-Avon in April, and was taken to the dog rescue centre. Upon contacting the rescue centre, Mrs Hiorns was told that her dog had been sold and they couldn’t give her the contact details of the new owners.
Mrs Hiorns commented:
I’m not in the first flush of youth and I was widowed last year and Penny’s a real little character and had been a great favourite of my husband’s.
To think she now has a new owner and probably a new name is devastating.
All I want to do is write a letter to the couple who now have her telling them there has been a huge mistake.
I’m sure that if the family she’s been re-homed with knew what had happened they’d want to do the right thing. I miss her desperately.
The chairman of Danemere Animal Rescue, Michael Quinlan, added:
Once a dog has been rehomed we would not contact the new owners. There is nothing we can do.
Had Mrs Hiorns’ dog been microchipped, the rescue centre would have known instantly who she belonged to and would have contacted Mrs Hiorns to claim her dog.

I finally wrote something about his death a few years later. In truth, it’s not a very good poem at all, but I kept it around and treated it with reverence because it was about someone who was so important to my formative teen years.
So today S&R honors Freddie Mercury, even if the honor isn’t as worthy as we’d like. And please, enjoy the video at the end.
Supernova – for Freddie Mercury Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? 1. Concert for Life, 4/20/92 Dateline: Wembley. London in April, parade of all things worshiped here at the western world as surviving members of rock band Queen hosted a memorial AIDS benefit in honor of fallen lead singer... So many raindrops dashing themselves against the sea: Bowie, Daltrey, Hetfield, Hunter, Lennox, Michael, Plant, Seal, Young... like mystics swaying clapping dancing drums singing the beast from afflicted flesh, reverence cold as the firmament when supernova fades: how disquiet the darkness at burnout, how laden with implication. At the end, Elton John and Axl Rose, icons of elegance and rage, stood arm in arm, singing anyway the wind blows... Consider these my tears for all I've misunderstood, for all I've failed to love. 2. Rhapsody Like it was yesterday, almost – four wood-paneled walls in a red brick rancher, oh, those years ago. That was the scene: a boy of fourteen in a room, in a house, surrounded by cedar and white pine and bonfire oak, the Year of Our Lord 1975. This was wide-eyed – before the Elton John poster, of course, before the blacklight panther poster, before longer hair. And radio was air, breathed as it chanced by and never questioned; nor the grandeur of God's Sunday choir – my favorite part – like an infant at suckle. A neighbor's car radio caught it first, set it buzzing at the ears like wine-drenched bees. That's how allowances got spent, and thirty-dollar stereos, A Night at the Opera like a carousel's maiden voyage – I would watch as harmonies rode the turntable's gilt ponies, and spellbound, how they coiled, their revolution arriving, then leapt cherubim screaming into my throat. 3. A Toast Last night Axl said here was his proof that rock and roll was art. Tonight I'll seek out a jukebox that knows "Bohemian Rhapsody," knows all the words. I'll sit alone at the bar remembering the boy who once sang along, and lift my glass as the gong flickers into silence.
One more thing. Don’t fuck this up, Sascha.

Fantasy World Resort vacation villas in Kissimmee, FL offers activities in a resort setting:


“This is the story of Richmond,” singer-songwriter Matthew E. White says to the rapt Brooklyn crowd, “a city overflowing with good musicians.” He’s a gentle giant type with a man-bun and a gracious attitude. Tonight’s show kicks off the tour in support of his second album, Fresh Blood. Nearly all of the performers have traveled from Richmond, Virginia, to play here at BRIC, a cozy arts center and concert venue.
More important than this performance, however, is White’s Richmond-based studio/music collective, Spacebomb Records. With Spacebomb, White has built a potential powerhouse the likes of which haven’t been seen since the late '50s and '60s, since the heyday of Motown and Stax Records: A studio that produces records with a house band and a rotating stable of musicians, taking advantage of local creativity and regional flavor.
Many of the musicians onstage with White in Brooklyn are regulars at Spacebomb, which White started five years ago with a few friends. In the nearly four decades since Stax closed its doors and Motown was acquired by MCA, Spacebomb’s collective-style studio format has become almost non-existent. According to industry logic, the model no longer made business sense, financially or creatively.
Here in the snowy Brooklyn night, the evening’s ensemble features White’s core four piece, supported by three backup singers, a full brass section, and an even grander string section. His humble, folksy melodies are amplified by the lavish orchestration—a fully realized performance that does justice to the beautiful production qualities of Fresh Blood and, by extension, to Spacebomb. There are over two-dozen musicians, and White is adamant about ceding the spotlight, recognizing each performer by name. For the strings, who are based in New York, he reads from a piece of paper to make sure he gets all of them right. Later, he urges the audience to check out his backup singers’ YouTube channel.
"This'll be the only time we're all onstage together,” White says. You get the sense he wants to remember it.
When I meet White the next day at the Domino Records office, I find his offstage personality to be similar to his performing one. He is humble and soft-spoken, careful with his words. When I ask him to describe Fresh Blood, he considers the question for a while. The album is clean and lushly orchestrated folk rock, imbued with shades of R&B, swing, and funk. Fresh Blood is ambitious without seeming so; it’s sonically familiar to its old-school influences but respectful of them.
White says nothing like this. After a full twelve seconds, he lands on “soulful.”
Which is accurate but hardly all encompassing. White’s vocals stay within a narrow range, a smooth but sometimes unassuming baritone. What’s most notable about his brand of folk-meets-white-guy-R&B is the richness of his instrumentation. Horns and strings can be found on almost every track, and White pays homage to a number of musical traditions across the album’s ten songs. Opener “Take Care My Baby” is a low-key Southern rock anthem; “Feeling Good Is Good Enough” (White’s favorite song, he tells me decisively) is equal parts uplifting gospel and “Hey Jude.”
White’s first record, Big Inner (get it?), made him somewhat of a cult figure for its showcasing of his virtuosity as a songwriter and producer. In an interview with The Guardian, White said the album was created “purely to be an advertisement” for Spacebomb; Big Inner went on, however, to win a raft of critical attention, landing on year-end lists from Consequence of Sound, Art of the Song, and Pitchfork. Two-and-a-half years later, Fresh Blood finds White on the cusp of making a name for himself. He has writing credits with Justin Vernon of Bon Iver and Sharon Van Etten, and was even an arranger on the last Mountain Goats album, Transcendental Youth.
White has an easier time talking about Fresh Blood in relation to Big Inner. “It’s darker, it’s lighter; it’s louder, it’s softer,” White says before coming out with the truth: “It has better songs on it.” He is, at least, good at recognizing talent in others. Spacebomb’s biggest success has been vocalist Natalie Prass, who nearly quit music entirely before arriving in Richmond. Her self-titled debut, released last January, delivered one of this year’s earliest gems: a thoughtful blend of country and soul, lifted by warm, expansive production by White himself. It’s probably why Prass’s record sounds a lot like Big Inner and Fresh Blood. The same penchant for impeccable strings and brass is found throughout, imbued with enough restraint that it never overwhelms the album’s singer-songwriter core.
While White admits that a studio like Spacebomb could exist in a handful of major cities, he believes it succeeds in Virginia because it takes advantage of Richmond’s wealth of musical talent. In particular, there’s the music school at Virginia Commonwealth University, White and Co.’s alma mater. “There’s a sincere level of musicianship—especially in string, horn players—but really across the board that’s really rare, truly rare [in Richmond],” he says.
The regional flavor of the city can be found throughout Spacebomb’s current catalog, but it’s not necessarily indicative of what the studio will sound like in the future. Based on the several records Spacebomb has released—in addition to White’s and Prass’s, they’ve put out albums by Howard Ivans and Grandma Sparrow—I assumed that he would go with “lushly orchestrated Americana.” But White denied that these records were good proxies for what Spacebomb will become.
“I think there will inevitably be a ‘Spacebomb sound’ in one way. I don’t think my or Natalie’s records are that sound,” he said. “[We] have a real similarity in terms of some things that we like. That’s why we sound similar. It’s not because Spacebomb is always necessarily going to make records that sound like they were made in 1972.”
When I asked if he would rather be remembered for his records or for Spacebomb, he didn’t really have an answer. He talked around the question for a while, before settling into the more comfortable territory of humility. He explained that he’s thankful for the opportunity to make music, whether it’s as a songwriter or a producer. And he knows that one or both of those opportunities will, in the course of time, disappear.
Matthew E. White is hardly a household name, but with the growing momentum behind Spacebomb Records and the impending release of Fresh Blood, it’s hard not to see this as Matthew E. White’s moment. After Brooklyn, he embarks on a 40+ date tour that takes him to all over the U.S., the U.K., and Germany; later this month he’ll take a national stage for the first time with a booking on “The Late Show with David Letterman.”
The refrain of “Rock 'n' Roll Is Cold,” the first single off Fresh Blood, declares that “rock ‘n’ roll has no soul.” The inverse could be said of White, who performs with more soulful introversion than rock ‘n’ roll swagger. But will Matthew E. White be known as the artist, or will he just be known as the guy who started Spacebomb? If White’s acclaim can transcend music writers who nerd out on Spacebomb’s production style, he may never have to answer that question. The buzz behind Fresh Blood and the critical triumph of Natalie Prass is certainly an auspicious start.
Stax and Motown are easy shorthand for what Spacebomb does. Pretty soon, though, White may no longer need the comparison. The road to stardom—for both White and Spacebomb—will involve many more nights like last week’s show in Brooklyn, with many more thank you's coming from a musician who is grateful to perform and an audience that is grateful to listen.

Oxidative stress is involved in cancer development. Hydrogen (H2) is a potentantioxidant and exhibits anti-inflammatory and potentially anticancer-like activities.This study aimed to investigate the role of H2incombination with 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) in cancer treatment both in vitro and in vivo using the colon 26 cell line.
The survival rate was determined using the Kaplan–Meier survival test, and cellviability was assessed using cell viability imaging kit and the MTT assay, andactivation of the cell apoptosis pathway (Phosphorylated adenosine monophosphateactivated protein kinase (p-AMPK), Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and Caspase3) were characterized by western blots.
Hydrogen water administration improvedthe survival of mice with colon 26-induced cancer. Furthermore, hydrogen waterenhanced cell apoptosis in cancer cells, resulting in a marked increase in theexpression of p-AMPK, AIF and Caspase 3 in colon 26 cells. Hydrogen water alsoincreased the inhibitory effect of 5-FU on colon 26 cells with spect to cell survivalrate and anticancer functions. Additionally, high-content hydrogen water exhibitedstronger antioxidative and anticancer activity than did the natural hydrogen water.In conclusion, high-content hydrogen water can inhibit colon cancer, particularly incombination with 5-fluorouracil.

Dealmaker: Walker & Dunlop Secures $64M in Kansas
Walker & Dunlop, Bethesda, Md., structured two loans totaling $64 million on two Overland Park, Kan., apartment communities for Overland Park Equity LLC.
Managing Director Jim Cope led the Walker & Dunlop team that structured the Fannie Mae financing with a 10-year term that included three years of interest-only payments. The loan was underwritten to a 1.25 debt service coverage ratio.
Mandel Group, Milwaukee, Wis., and Romspen Investment Corp., Toronto formed Overland Park Equity LLC last year to purchase the assets. Jeff Stingley of CBRE Capital Markets brokered the transaction.
“The properties are in ‘A’ locations and ideal candidates for our value‐add philosophy that enhances mature Class B apartment assets,” said Mandel Group Vice President and Director of Acquisitions Jason Babcock. He called Overland Park a “robust” submarket with billions of dollars of new development underway. Located 12 miles from downtown Kansas City, Overland Park is the second-largest city in Kansas.
Highland Ridge Apartments includes 370 units and The Lodge of Overland Park includes 548 units.
“Near-term projections indicate the addition of thousands of new jobs to an already healthy local economy,” Babcock said. Nearby major developments include CityPlace, a $350 million mixed‐use development under construction next to the Highland Ridge property, and a pending $2.4 billion redevelopment of the Brookridge Country Club property adjacent to The Lodge at Overland Park. In addition, Cerner Corp. recently broke ground on a $4.45 billion office campus 10 minutes away from the properties. When completed, the campus will house up to 16,000 health care information technology workers.

"Overall rice exports from India are set to decline this year due to stringent quality norms introduced by the European Union. For immediate future, therefore, India may lose its entire 400,000 tonnes of European Union markets in the immediate term. The scenario, however, would improve with growers to reduce pesticides use in basmati rice in the long term. Also, Indian exporters would lose the entire Bangladesh market in the immediate term,” said Gurnam Arora, Joint Managing Director, Kohinoor Foods, one of India’s largest basmati rice exporters which sells its aromatic rice under Kohinoor brand.
Data compiled by the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (Apeda) showed a bumpy ride of both basmati and non-basmati rice exports during the last financial year. India emerged as a large supplier of rice to the South East Asian (SEA) countries due to a devastating flood in this region last year.
Consequently, India's both non-basmati rice exports jumped by a staggering 28 per cent to 8.65 million tonnes for the financial year 2017-18 compared to 6.77 million tonnes in the previous financial year. India’s basmati rice exports, however, stagnated at around 4 million tonnes in three years.
In value terms, however, non-basmati rice exports from India jumped by a staggering 41 per cent to $3564.39 million for FY17-18 versus $2531.47 million in the previous financial year.
“A part of the decline in non-basmati rice export would get compensated through shipment to China for which Apeda has started registering exporters,” said a senior official with a large rice exporting company.
A study from India Rating (Ind-Ra) believes India’s export price is likely to remain competitive in the international market and the recent decline in India’s rice export prices could attract buying from African countries, as Indian rice has become more competitive while a decline in rupee is cushioning exporters’ margins.
Indian rice prices softened as rice exports from India declined in April 2018, due to a decline in the exports of basmati rice to Saudi Arabia and non-basmati rice to Bangladesh along with a subdued demand from African countries. Ind-Ra believes imports by Bangladesh are likely to reduce in 2018-2019, as its domestic output rebounds due to a crop recovery and expansion in area sown because of high prices in 2017. As a result, India’s exports could reduce by 0.5 million tonnes to 1 million tonnes.
In May 2017, Chinese authority had identified 14 rice exporters from India to be considered for its shipment to China. But registration of interested exporters started recently.
Meanwhile, according to the third advance estimate for 2017 - 2018, India is set to achieve a record rice production of 111.5 million tonnes against the target of 108.5 million tonnes this year breaching its previous record of 109.7 million tonnes for 2016-2017.

MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte has signed a law that will require vehicle owners to use car seats when transporting children.
Duterte signed last Feb. 22 Republic Act 11229 or the Child Safety in Motor Vehicles Act. A copy of the law was released by the Palace on Tuesday.
The law aims to guarantee the safety and welfare of infants and children and prevent traffic-related deaths and injuries. It cites the need to “adequately, consistently and objectively require, regulate, promote and inform the public on the use of child restraint systems.”
Under the law, no child 12 years and below shall be allowed to sit in a front seat of a motor vehicle with running engine unless the child meets the height requirement of at least 150 centimeters (4’11”) and is properly secured using the regular seat belt.
“It shall be unlawful for the driver of a covered vehicle not to properly secure at all times a child, in a child restraint system while the engine is running,” the law states.
“The child restraint system shall be appropriate to the child’s age, height, and weight.”
The use of child restraint system shall not be required in circumstances where its use would put such child in greater danger, such as during medical emergencies or when the child has a medical or developmental condition.
At no instance shall a child being secured in a child restraint system be left unaccompanied by an adult in a motor vehicle, the law added
Mandatory compliance with the law shall only be enforced only one year after the effectivity of its implementing rules and regulations. Various government agencies, led by the Department of Transportation, shall come up with the IRR six months from the effectivity of the law.
Any driver found violating this law shall be fined P1,000 for the first offense, P2,000 for the second offense and P5,000 and the suspension of the driver's license for one year for the third and succeeding offenses.
The law is also in accordance with the international standards set by the United Nations. All manufacturers, importers, distributors, and sellers of child restraint systems are required to follow the standards set by the UN on child restraints.
Any driver who allows the use of substandard and/or expired child restraint system or permits the use of child restraint system that does not bear the Philippine Standard mark shall also be slapped with the same penalties.
Tampering of the PS mark or Import Clearance Certificate (ICC) sticker shall be punished with a fine of not less than P50,000 but not more than P100,000 for each and every child restraint system product.
Meanwhile, the DOTr is also tasked to study and make recommendations on the possible use of child restraint systems in public utility vehicles.
The law repeals Section 5 of Republic Act 8750 or the Seat Belts Use Act of 1999 which states that infants and/or children 6 years old and below shall be prohibited to sit in the front seat of any running motor vehicle.

The innovations at this year’s StudyWorld will transform the way international education trading events work, says organiser English UK.
As well as a prestigious central London venue and a new focus on the UK, changes included special delegations, increased flexibility for attendees, and support from the Department for International Trade. As a result, the event attracted a government minister and a peer to give major speeches, as well as MPs’ visits.
“Feedback from delegates was overwhelmingly positive,” said Jodie Gray, head of market development for English UK, which organises the event. “Most importantly, this is the start of a journey – I’m so excited about the possibilities for StudyWorld 2018. We innovated and, I believe, have changed the way that trading events work in the international education industry.”
Sarah Cooper, English UK’s chief executive, thought people were excited by the wider range of opportunities at the revamped event. “They can envisage new ways of partnering and developing collaborations, to mutual benefit,” she said, adding: “It’s been extraordinarily successful.”
English UK Chair Steve Phillips added: “The event was great – and one of the great things was the support we had from high-level people.” They included UKCISA president Lord Bilimoria and MPs Geoffrey Robinson and Andy Slaughter – who said he was “bowled over” by StudyWorld.
The transformation of StudyWorld, including moving it to the iconic Queen Elizabeth II Centre in Westminster and showcasing the full range of UK education, has been planned for several years.
Around 700 delegates from 60 countries attended, including large groups from China and the Gulf region. There were almost 6,000 appointments over the two days of meetings, filling an average 85 per cent of educators’ schedules.
Innovations included specialist delegations from the Gulf region, London embassies and Department of International Trade commercial officers, all of whom had packed schedules. Educators also enjoyed more flexibility, with options to have no table with or without a meeting schedule for one or more days as well as the classic table plus schedule.
Educators were able to take advantage of new flexibility in different ways, with a group of universities attending for one day and groups creating their own eye-catching villages. “It’s a great new dawn for the promotion of British education around the world,” said Kevin McNally of Torquay International School. “It’s a prime location with great facilities and shows the world what we have to offer.”
The new format also included a formal speech at the welcome reception, two days of professional seminars, and keynotes and a panel discussion during the day on Tuesday.
Journalist and university chancellor Gavin Esler set the tone with his keynote speech to a packed hall. He urged delegates to be passionate about education, and use their public trust to help make a better world at a time when populism has fostered a rejection of experts. “There are three pillars of trust: benevolence, integrity and competence which can give us some certainty in an uncertain world,” he said.
Lord Bilimoria, himself a former international student and a passionate advocate for the benefits of international education, visited StudyWorld on two of the three days. He addressed the welcome reception about the benefit to the UK and the world for students coming here to learn, adding: “What you do for our country is brilliant: education is great.”
International Trade Minister Mark Garnier said he was confident UK educators would “seize the demand” globally, and that his department would build on the country’s “already impressive capability.”
“There is an unprecedented level of support for UK providers to help seize the huge opportunity on offer for transnational education,” he said, continuing: “I mentioned earlier the reach of education beyond classrooms; it is quite simply one of the greatest gifts we can bestow and the most important investment we can make.
Conferences such as StudyWorld allow us to come together to champion the importance of education in creating a more stable, fair and prosperous world. There’s no greater prize than that.

The Oasis Reporters
June 28 , 2017
The Chief Of Air Staff Air Marshall Abubakar Saddique has been fingered in a recruitment scandal in which the North is alleged to have gotten 80% personnel.
Henry, a social media commentator quoted a classic philosopher when he described the scandal that had previously engulfed the Directorate Of State Security, DSS recently thus :
“it was a beautiful, as all truly great swindles, DSS mathematics is Katsina + Kano = 17 Southern States”.
DSS had recruited 479 new intakes and 51 came from the president’s home state of Katsina alone, where the Director of the Secret Service also hails from.
The Director, Mr Daura is related to the President and they all hail from the same village.
That gave Katsina 10.6%.
The neighbouring Kano State with the same socio-cultural and religious background followed next with 25 or 5%.
Next came Kaduna state (24) and Bauchi state, (23).
The four northern states swallowed one quarter of the appointments in a country of 36 states.
All the South South States got 44 or 8.8%.
And in academic performance index, the north has always been among the least performers.
He concluded by calling Buhari a northern president, eventhough he became president courtesy of a largely southern support.
While the scandal was yet to die down, another one has brewed, this time in the nation’s Airforce.
A civil rights organisation, Campaign Against Military Impunity, has raised the alarm over alleged recruitment scandal in the Nigerian Airforce according to some online reports, including The Trent Online.
The organisation alleged that the Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Sadiq Abubakar, ”had compromised standards in the recruitment exercise for non-commissioned officers from the core North”.
Presently at the Airforce Base in Kaduna, there is ongoing pre-training formalities and tests for successful recruits, where 80 per cent of them are Northerners, CAMI said.
Victor Coker, the executive director of CAMI, told journalists in Abuja, on Monday, June 26, 2017 that the government should carry out an audit of the exercise and courses going on in all the military training institutions.
“To unravel this misnomer, there should be an audit of the courses going on in all the training institutions. The audit should look at the composition and last three batches of those in training”, he advised.
Coker said, “They were supposed to take 68 persons in each state; but after the normal recruitment, the Chief of Air Staff now brought over 2,000 names spread across the core Northern States. Out of this figure, only 30/40 was given to the South. This is not the first time it is happening. Such things have been done in DSS, EFCC, and even police, Army and the Navy.
“We keep on preaching One Nigeria, One Nigeria. But behind the empty slogan of One Nigeria lies bare-faced hypocrisy and grand design to sentence part of the country to perpetual slavery.”
But when contacted, the Director of Public Relations and Information in the Nigerian Airforce, Air Commodore Olatokunbo Adesanya, he denied the allegation.
He said, “I think it is most advisable that the list of the people recruited should be made public first. Then, those making the claims can painstakingly go through the list. If there is any state that is not fairly represented, then, let them raise the alarm, rather than be speculating. A list is not yet out, yet people are speculating that the North has been favoured.
“Don’t forget that each state should be fairly represented. If you have certified people and everybody in a state are not medically qualified, are you going to disregard everybody in that state? We operate with the highest standards and we do not compromise on standard, either medical, physical or academic.”
Pundits have opined that the recent upsurge in separatist agitations in the country is due to
brazen marginalization being carried out, such that people no longer feel committed to the spirit of oneness .

Veggie Option: You'll go nuts for this reduced-calorie apple pie recipe
Nobody makes a better pie crust than my mom. She's been rolling 'em out for most of her 88 years, and even though her hands are riddled with arthritis now, her pie crusts are still as flaky and buttery and delicious as ever. They're also loaded with calories – and the last thing we need around Thanksgiving is more unnecessary calories – so I'll save her recipe and technique for another time. Today, I'm sharing a pie crust recipe that cuts the calories but not the flavor. You can use this crust as a base for any fruit pie, but I like it best with apples.
Walnut-crust apple pie
For the crust:
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons butter, cold and cut into small cubes
3 tablespoons ice-cold vodka
1 tablespoon low-fat milk
1 egg yolk
For the filling:
2 pound Golden Delicious apples (about 4), peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1. Combine all filling ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat. Set aside.
2. In a food processor, pulse walnuts until finely ground but not pasty. The nuts release their oil when ground, which reduces the need for extra butter.
3. Add flour, brown sugar and salt to food processor and pulse 5 times. Next, add butter and pulse 5-6 times, until mixture looks like coarse meal.
4. With the processor running, slowly add ice-cold vodka through the food chute and process until just combined (do not form a ball). Dump the crumbly dough into a bowl, and gently gather into a ball, kneading 3-4 times, just enough to make it stick together.
5. Divide dough into two equal portions and gently press each portion into a 4-inch circle on plastic wrap. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
7. Unwrap and place one dough disc on plastic wrap. Cover with two sheets of overlapping plastic wrap – basically sandwiching dough between bottom wrap and the two sheets of overlapping wrap – and roll out into a 10-inch circle. Turn dough out onto a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray.
8. Spoon apple mixture into pie plate.
9. Unwrap and place remaining portion of dough on plastic wrap and cover with two sheets of overlapping plastic wrap. Roll dough out into a 12-inch circle. Turn dough out onto the top of the apple pie filling and press edges together, then fold under and flute. Cut slits in top of dough to allow steam to escape during baking.
10. Whisk together milk and egg yolk. Gently brush top of dough with mixture.
11. Line a baking sheet with enough foil to fold over the pie crust edges (you'll need to fold the foil over halfway through the baking time).
12. Put pie in oven and bake at 425 for 20 minutes, or until the edges of the crust begin to brown. Pull foil up to shield edges and reduce heat to 350. Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until browned. Cool on a wire rack.

Have you ever considered hiking the whole state of NC? Did you even know it was possible? The Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) is a simple footpath that goes for almost 1,200 miles across NC from Clingmans Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains to Jockey’s Ridge on the Outer Banks.
The MST — known as the highest elevation long-distance trail in the eastern US at Mount Mitchell (6,684 feet) — would take the average hiker three to four months to complete in total, without biking on greenways or paddling the Neuse River. If you don’t have that much hiking spirit or PTO left in 2020, we suggest checking out segment 10 and segment 11, which pass through Durham and Raleigh, respectively.
Distance: 77.6 miles
Type: all on trail, with a few incidental road sections
Difficulty: easy to moderate
With 22 day trails, ranging from one mile to seven miles, this segment is known for being surrounded by water, with the Eno River and Falls Lake intertwining with almost all of the trails offered.
Distance: 64.8 miles
Type: 37.5 miles on greenways or paved paths, 27.3 miles on road
Raleigh is full of an ever-growing greenway system. In this segment, a handful of trails correspond with Raleigh’s Horseshoe Farm, Milburnie Dam, and Anderson Point Park along the greenway system. Once you get to the end of the Raleigh trails, this segment will lead you to hikes in Clayton and Smithfield.
The Friends of the MST are celebrating the trail’s 43rd birthday this month, with some fun challenges to complete on the segment closest to you. Check out what they have in store for the rest of September here.

Episode 8 - The Power of Truth and Story - Shame and Alcoholism
One major issue that keeps people stuck in the cycle of alcoholism, even when they know they have a problem, or a niggling doubt that their drinking is getting worse, is SHAME.
On this episode we heard from six women who are brand new to sobriety, have had more than one Day One recently, but who are still out there swinging, talking to people, becoming part of community, and telling their story - bravely - to offer hope to others and to help heal themselves.
The antidote to shame is truth.
Through the power of story we share our truths; we're not trying to give answers, or how-to's. They are sharing their stories to demonstrate that the only thing anyone can do wrong is not try at all, not reach out for help, not love yourself enough to face their drinking head-on.
What we hear in their stories is the commonalities we face - some of the things we do when we're still drinking, the ways we try desperately to hide it from loved ones, from ourselves, and then the freedom and community we feel when we finally tell our stories, talk about our feelings and find people who understand.
It doesn't matter what stage you're at with your own drinking. If you're still drinking, wondering about your drinking, newly sober or been sober awhile; we ALL have something to contribute through the power of our truths.
A common theme we heard was that when we finally told our truth, whether it was to an online community, a real-life community, a friend or family member (or even a doctor), we felt a weight lift off our shoulders. That is the weight of shame and secrecy.
The old adage is true, that the truth will set you free. Our mission at The Bubble Hour is to provide stories to help people know they aren't alone; that there IS hope, and if you join a recovery community - either online or offline (or both .. see tab above for resources) you will feel a PART OF, instead of stuck and alone.

East Union’s football program took a hit in 2003 when Manteca Unified opened Weston Ranch, its fourth comprehensive high school, in Stockton.
Seth Davis was then a sophomore at Manteca High, while Willie Herrera entered his junior year at Eastern Oregon.
Tonight, they square off for the first time as opposing head coaches, with Davis nearing the end of his inaugural campaign at Weston Ranch and Herrera close to completing his third for East Union.
Both East Union and Weston Ranch have had little success after the split. In 2002, EU’s freshman team, led by twins Terjean and Torijean Saffold, went 9-1 and earned the Valley Oak League championship. The Lancers haven’t won a title since — at any level — and qualified for the playoffs once (2010).
The Saffolds went on to help Weston Ranch earn a tri-championship and reach the semifinal round of the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs as seniors. The Cougars haven’t returned to the postseason since.
East Union and Weston Ranch had reason to believe that 2013 would be the start of a turnaround.
The Lancers impressed in camp and preseason scrimmages. Their new-look wing offense appeared to suit the strengths of the team, and the defense looked even more promising.
Weston Ranch was reinvigorated by a new coaching staff while a stable of young skill athletes graduated to the varsity ranks after going 7-3 at the sophomore level.
Things were looking up in the late summer.
Now? They kick off tonight’s Week 9 contest with three wins between them.
“We’re young,” Davis said. “I think the physical play of the VOL kind of opened some of our kids’ eyes. Yeah, we had high hopes when we were doing 7-on-7s and we liked how we handled ourselves without contact.
“We started out playing a grueling preseason schedule, and to play these physical teams like Oakdale, Sonora, Manteca and Kimball took a little bit out of us.”
Both teams have sustained injuries to key players, leading to some of their struggles.
East Union (0-5 VOL, 1-7 overall) exploded for 63 points in a Week 1 blowout of Orestimba. The run-heavy wing attack scored just 57 points in its next six games with the Lancers’ top two rushers, Victor Lopez and Taariq Davis, missing time with injuries.
Young Weston Ranch, meanwhile, has gotten younger. Last week, the Cougars (1-4, 2-6) started four sophomores and three seniors against first-place Manteca — and were drubbed, 79-8.
Just another learning experience for Weston Ranch. Things are looking up with so many sophomores and juniors returning next season. East Union also has much to look forward to, with its sophomore and freshman squads competing well with VOL heavyweights this season.
“We are not giving up on this season, we still have two games left in our schedule,” Davis said. “But I can already tell our younger (players) are excited for next year. We, the coaching staff, will actually have a complete offseason with these boys. Everyone is chomping at the bit to build on what we have started this year.”
Elsewhere in Week 9:
•Lathrop (1-4 VOL, 1-7 overall) visits The Corral to face a motivated Oakdale team (3-2, 4-4) that is coming off a surprising 35-14 loss to Kimball.
•Ripon (4-1 Trans-Valley League, 8-1 overall) caps its regular season early tonight as Orestimba (1-3, 1-7) invades Stouffer Field. The Indians will then use the Week-10 bye to prepare for the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs.
• Ripon Christian (5-0, 7-1) is guarding against a letdown at Gustine (3-2, 4-4) with the outright Southern League championship still at stake. Up next: undefeated Le Grand for the title.

KOLKATA: With the new Companies Act
in place, company secretaries (CS) like other statutory auditors can now act as whistle blowers if they detect any fraud.
Practising company secretaries will be mandatorily required to carry out the secretarial audit of companies whose paid-up capital is more than Rs 50 crore and a turnover exceeding Rs 250 crore.
"There is a provision of whistle blower in the new Companies Act. It is now mandated in the act of 2013," Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI
) President Atul Mehta
Practising company secretaries, he added, will be mandatorily required to carry out the secretarial audit of companies whose paid-up capital is more than Rs 50 crore and a turnover exceeding Rs 250 crore.READ ALSO: Government notifies amendments to Companies Act
This was akin to the kind of audit carried out by statutory auditors for financial audit and cost accountants for cost audit for listed companies, he told reporters here today.
Mehta said that if any fraud was detected by the practising CS, it will have to be reported either to the audit committee or the Corporate Affairs Ministry, depending on the quantum of the money involved.
"The new Act has made this mandatory," Mehta said adding that the secretarial auditor will also have to attach his report, along with the board of directors statement in the annual report.
The secretarial auditor will be allowed to make any qualifying remarks in the report like the statutory auditor. The corporates will have to follow the secretarial standards and need to comply by July 1, 2015. Meanwhile, ICSI is setting up a centre of excellence for corporate governance in the city.

Obviously you should tie a large flat object like a Laser to more than just the racks themselves. You refer to the pullout strength of the factory racks, I was referring to the strength of the roof itself where the racks are attached, which is what I think the weight capacity means. The factory racks are often attached to the roof a short distance inside the edge of the roof. This means that they rely on the strength of the roof itself to support the weight. Aftermarket racks that attach directly to the car (and not to the existing racks) usually attach to the rain gutters or to a dedicated attachment point. The weight applied to aftermarket racks is carried by the sides of the car itself, which is why aftermarket racks have higher weight capacities.
