"Time doth create existence; time destroys."
New Delhi Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Prem Kumar's opening remark in his July 9 summons to P. V. Narasimha Rao in the Lakhubhai Pathak cheating case.
FOR CONGRESSMEN, IF Kumar's words betrayed a hint of the ominous; surely it had as much to do with the serious allegations against Rao as with his shaky political position. Most would consider that the case, in which the controversial god man Chandra swami is a co-accused, is damaging enough to prompt a leader of Rao's stature to make a quiet exit. But so far, a divided Congress has given Rao ample breathing space.
Conventional political wisdom says that when things go wrong the way they have with Rao, the leader would do well to retire gracefully. But by steadfastly sticking to his post, the former prime minister has only whetted the appetite of his detractors for a showdown. Shortly after the CMM issued the summons on July 9, Rao's aides made it clear that they would fight it out. Said Devendra Dwivedi, AICC general secretary and a Rao acolyte: "Rao cannot be expected to step down on the basis of a single testimony." Added R.K. Dhawan: "Those who talk about saving the party should not raise such demands at this stage. The party should be united behind the leader now."
Infighting and power struggles are nothing new in the Congress, but some senior party leaders concede that the crisis last fortnight dragged it to new depths. The signs are that the internal strife will only worsen in the weeks to come. And as the party's support is critical to the survival of the United Front Government, any unpheavals in the Congress like Rao stepping down on his own or under pressure from dissidents-could upset the delicate equation at the Centre.
But at the moment, the focus is on Rao's own future. With his trademark mix of guile and survival instincts, he has managed to buy time by spreading confusion among his detractors and creating dissensions within their ranks.
The strategy for the crucial CWC meeting on July 12 was devised by prominent Rao backers, including Dwivedi, Pranab Mukherjee, Dhawan and Jiten-dra Prasada. It revolved around meeting the onslaught by stressing that the issue of change of leadership-dissidents believe it is the first step towards revitalising the party-be delinked from the Pathak case.
The plan was put into action when Pawar came to Rao's residence on the morning of the meeting with a request to advance it as he had to take an evening flight to Pune. Dwivedi used the occasion to suggest to Pawar that since neither side wanted a showdown, instead of discussing the resignation issue at the CWC, it should be amicably settled outside the formal meeting. When Pawar sounded out
Rajesh Pilot, K. Karunakaran and Bal-ram Jakhar, they too gave their assent.
That accomplished, Rao's aides moved quickly. They first tried to create the impression that Pawar had entered into some sort of a deal with Rao after meeting him in the morning. Rumours flew thick and fast that Pawar might not attend the CWC at all, which in turn led fellow Rao-baiters to fear that the Maratha strongman may ditch them. Pawar, however, scotched these rumours by assuring other senior dissidents that there was no question of his not attending the CWC meeting.
During informal parleys between the two sides before the meeting, Rao's emissaries tried to impress upon Pawar that if the former prime minister was forced out, it would amount to hanging him even before the courts had given a final verdict. But when Pawar, Pilot, Jakhar and Karunakaran insisted on a change of guard, Dwivedi shot back: "If you think you can force the issue in the CWC, take a vote." The dissidents, of course, knew only too well that Rao still commanded a majority in the body.
When it appeared that the dissidents were in no mood to give in so easily, Rao hit back true to his style: he let the word spread through his aides that in the event of a change in leadership, he was willing to make way for A.K. Antony. Rao's calculation was clear: though his detractors were united about wanting him out, they remained divided over the choice of his successor. Even Rao's critics concede that the Antony card was a masterstroke, given the former Kerala chief minister's non-controversial background and, most important of all, his proximity to 10 Janpath.
According to insiders, that sent Rao's detractors scurrying. They then switched tracks and made a fresh demand that the date for an early AICC session be announced at the CWC meeting itself. And that the AICC discuss the schedule for the election of a new party president. This led to heated arguments between the two camps, and the issue remained unresolved even after Rao floated the idea of a working president. The stalemate means that even as party leaders continue to work on a compromise formula, Rao gets some more time to find a way out so that he is not seen either as a leader who was deposed nor as one who ran away when the heat was turned on. But as if to show that they would not let up the pressure, the dissidents later shot off a letter to Rao asking him to name a successor and make a dignified exit from his post. The letter was drafted by Karunakaran and signed by Pawar, Ghulam Nabi Azad, Pilot, Ahmed Patel and Jakhar, all of whom claimed that they would be able to garner more support in the CWC in the days to come.
RAO'S game plan evidently is to first seek judicial remedy in the Pathak case. A team of legal advisers, including high-profile lawyers such as Kapil Sibal, is already active on this front. Should Rao get a judicial reprieve, his supporters say, he will fight to the finish. But as it appears, the Pathak case is just one of Rao's many pending battles (see box in accompanying story). He is also feeling the heat from a raft of other court cases-St Kitts forgery, Jain hawala and JMM payoffs being the most prominent among them. As such, the best deal Rao can make in the coming weeks is to hold out to his detractors the assurance of early elections to the party president's post where he will not contest. His opponents may not grudge him time either. For, most of them believe that Rao would finally opt for a decent burial rather than a bitter power struggle that could drag him through further disgrace.
While Rao has only himself to blame for his current troubles, it is the party which has taken the beating. The divisions within the Congress have intensified, and his supporters, despite their public proclamations, are in despair. Yet Rao now needs something to hang on to in order to extricate himself from the legal tangles. As an anti-Rao CWC member says, "He is unwilling to resign because only as Congress president or CLP leader can he force H.D. Deve Gowda to bail him out."
That Rao is pressing the Deve Gowda Government to grant an extension to CBI Director K. Vijay Rama Rao, whose tenure expires on July 31, is no secret. The CBI director is Rao's appointee, and in the past few years the agency has appeared anything but impartial as far as the former prime minister is concerned. Since the minority government at the Centre needs Congress support for survival, the Rao camp is optimistic that Deve Gowda can afford to ignore him only at the risk of being shown the door.
Besides, Rao has some old faithfuls in the Congress who are ready to oblige him in his hour of crisis. Most party functionaries are Rao appointees and political lightweights like general secretaries Janardhan Poojary and B.P Maurya, treasurer Sitaram Kesri and CWC members such as Oomen De-ori who have no option but to back him as long as he is at the helm. Most of the state Congress chiefs and CLP leaders are Rao's men too. And frontal organisation bosses like Youth Congress President M.S. Bitta and Mahila Congress chief Girija Vyas also stand by him.
Yet cracks have begun to appear in the crucial power centre of the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP). His managers failed to convince the CPP executive to pass a resolution on July 12 afternoon hailing Rao's leadership. When his loyalist and CPP Executive Secretary V. Narayanaswamy hinted at such a resolution, he found few takers for his proposal.
For a party which is used to being run in the name of the leader, the experience of gunning for its chief is a totally new one. Going by current indications, there is little hope of the Congress recovering in the near future, regardless of changes at the top. To begin with, no transition is going to be smooth as there are too many contenders for the top slot (see box). Pawar and Pilot are in line for the presidentship should Rao step down. Even Karunakaran is angling for the post. Rao in turn is encouraging Antony, Mukherjee and even Kesri to throw their hats into the ring-the obvious motive being that he will then still be able to dictate terms so as to turn the heat off on the legal front.
Once Rao goes, not only will the race for presidentship gather momentum in the Congress, but also the party's complexion could change dramatically. The move to bring back all ex-Congressmen would then gather momentum. Says Antony: "That's the best way for the party's revival."
THE task no doubt will be easier without Rao at the helm, for many who left the party in the past couple of years did so only on account of differences with him. Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC) chief G.K. Moopanar has hinted that in the event of Rao's ouster, his group would seriously consider reuniting with the parent party. Even Ar-jun Singh, N.D. Tiwari and Madhavrao Scindia are expected to troop back.
In a scenario like this, a new power equation will emerge both within the Congress and outside. For one, the party strength in the Lok Sabha will jump from 140 MPs to over 160 MPs (with 20 from TMC, 4 from the Tiwari Congress and 2 from Scindia's group). And given Congressmen's penchant for power, not many believe that a united Congress will be content merely sitting in the Lok Sabha as a prop to the Government.
While a strengthened Congress minus Rao may not be happy news for the ruling United Front, senior members of the Deve Gowda Government are at the moment pleased with the party's internal problems. As a senior cabinet minister says, "With the Congress embroiled in its own crises, it will not be able to pull us down even if it wishes to." Even the Left parties could soften to a Congress sans Rao. Says a senior CPI leader: "If Rao is replaced with a man of more secular credentials, we will find it easier to work with it." Obviously, a divided and debilitated Congress engaged in its own battles will suit the minority government.
This, though, may be the situation till the crisis lasts in the party. Once Rao steps down and a semblance of order returns to the Congress, with the breakaway factions and their MPs back in the fold, things are bound to become difficult for the United Front. But then, that's another story. As for Rao, his nightmare is that the endgame may have begun. With RAMESH SHARMA

CORD BAUER, San Clemente
I’ve read with interest Mayor Pro Tem Gene James’ efforts to make San Clemente a Second Amendment Sanctuary City. The interesting part wasn’t the sanctuary statement itself, but the response.
It’s as if every respondent has forgotten that the Bill of Rights is designed to protect us from government. Mr. James just seems to be reminding us of what these documents promised 229 years ago.
In a normal world, his declaration would seem a bit silly, like confirming that we have a right to breathe. But these are strange times. There are people who tell us to “trust science,” and yet even the definition of gender has radically changed from what it was just 10 years ago. Any notion of a shared common ground has been destroyed, and we’re dealing with the fallout.
While our governor gets ready to release 74,000 prisoners, another group screams that we need to defund the police, that all Whites are racist, and that even if you’re a Brown or Black cop, you’re racist, too. It seems like crazy talk, except that these sentiments are being echoed at all levels of government.
The basic rights of the people come from God, not government. So many movements today don’t want God in the equation; they want government on top. When government rules, laws can be changed on a whim or ignored altogether.
Our Founders realized this and sought to tie our inalienable rights to an entity more powerful than mere humans. Those that want to change the rules know this, too, which is why Marxists and Socialists so strongly oppose religion.
It’s our duty to protect the rights and opportunities we have now, so they can be handed down to our children. Right now, the only thing being handed to them is debt and an uncertain future.
We also need to push back against the ever-increasing power of the government, and this declaration is one small step in the right direction.

They may have had their heyday in the 1970s but midweek dinner parties are having a comeback, thanks to the rise in numbers of people working from home.
Entertaining guests during the week is twice as common among so-called ‘hybrid’ workers – who split their time between the office and home – than it is among those who cannot do their job remotely, research suggests.
This is partly because flexible working gives people more time to prepare food for a weeknight dinner, according to a survey of 2,200 people by Ocado and Savanta ComRes.
More than half of those doing more weeknight entertaining said this also meant they were becoming more adventurous with what they cooked.
In the past, dinner guests might have included bosses that hosts were hoping to schmooze, or other colleagues, whereas people are now more likely to invite close friends or family.
Hybrid workers are more likely to host weekday dinner parties than those who always work at the office, research has found
Ocado said the number of delivery orders on weekdays – Wednesdays and Thursdays in particular – has shot up since the pandemic.
And the amount of wine and desserts sold then has also soared, with Wednesday being the most popular day of the week now for delivery of chocolate eclairs.
The continuation of working from home that started during the height of the pandemic has been controversial.
The average office-based employee is spending three or more days working remotely, according to data from consultants Advanced Workplace Associates.
With more time to prepare food at home for guests, hosts are also becoming more adventurous with what they cook, according to the study
Before Covid lockdowns, people spent an average of 1.2 days out of the office.
Laura Harricks, chief customer officer at delivery service Ocado Retail, said: ‘Although we’ve seen demand increase across the board since before the pandemic, our midweek and middle-of-the-day slots have outperformed the rest.
‘The supporting research certainly suggests that there’s a link between working from home and entertaining earlier in the week.’

A 1st Armored Division soldier at Fort Bliss, Texas, has been formally accused of three sexual assaults in the past year, including the alleged 2019 rape of a soldier from his unit who was found dead this New Year’s Eve.
Pfc. Christian G. Alvarado was arraigned Thursday during a general court-martial at Fort Bliss on three specifications of sexual assault, two specifications of making false statements and one specification of aggravated assault in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Alvarado is accused of raping 19-year-old Pfc. Asia M. Graham while she was unconscious Dec. 30, 2019, at Fort Bliss, according to his charge sheets. Graham was found dead in her barracks room this New Year’s Eve, roughly one year after the alleged assault took place.
Graham had been assigned to Fort Bliss, her first duty station, for only one month before the incident. Her cause of death has not been released, but Army CID agents don’t suspect foul play.
The accusations follow a year in which sexual assault and harassment in the Army garnered increased public scrutiny and revealed chronic failings at Fort Hood, another Texas military post, that an independent committee said could mirror problems at other installations.
Maj. Gen. Sean C. Bernabe, 1st Armored Division commander, “personally ordered the referral of charges against” Alvarado to court-martial on Jan. 8, unit spokeswoman Lt. Col. Allie Payne said in a statement.
Alvarado is also accused of committing two other sexual assaults on May 8 and Aug. 26. Those victims’ names were redacted from the charge sheets, though Graham’s name was not.
In the May 8 accusation, Alvarado allegedly had sex with a woman who was too intoxicated to consent. On Aug. 26, he allegedly sexually assaulted another woman by penetrating her with his finger without her consent. The aggravated assault charge stems from Alvarado unlawfully strangling someone, whose name is redacted, also on Aug. 26.
Graham reported her Dec. 30, 2019, assault to her chain of command on June 1, and an investigation was immediately launched, according to Payne.
Charge sheets show Alvarado was interviewed June 11 by CID agents, which is when he allegedly made false statements to investigators.
Alvarado told a CID agent that Graham had been on top of him during sex, which the agent said was false and that Graham had been unconscious. Another allegedly false statement involved one woman whose name was redacted. Alvarado said the woman performed oral sex on him, which was “totally false,” the charge sheets read.
Details of who was interviewed and other facts of the case were not provided. Payne said the investigation, which ran from June to October, found enough evidence to pursue action through the military justice process.
Alvarado’s company commander preferred charges against him Oct. 22, which began the process to bring the case to a court-martial. An Article 32 hearing was appointed Nov. 3 and took place Dec. 1. The hearing officer provided his findings to Graham’s brigade commander Dec. 11 and that officer’s recommendation was forwarded to Maj. Gen. Bernabe.
“As a reminder to the Fort Bliss community, charges are merely accusations and Pfc. Alvarado, like all Americans, is presumed innocent until proven guilty,” a Fort Bliss press release stated.
A trial date has not yet been set for Alvarado’s court-martial. He is assigned to the 1-501st Attack Battalion, 1st Armored Division Combat Aviation Brigade. He enlisted in July 2018 and arrived at Fort Bliss in February 2019.
Graham was assigned to the same battalion as Alvarado. She enlisted in July 2019 and arrived at Fort Bliss the month of her alleged assault. Her mother, Nicole Graham, told a local television station in their home state of North Carolina that her daughter was “a beautiful soul” whose “smile lit up the room.”
“I was with the military life. I spoke very highly about the military, but in her situation, I think the leadership failed her,” Nicole Graham said Jan. 5. “Do I think she was murdered? No. But do I think if it would have handled better from the beginning, I think she would have had the proper help before and she would have been OK.”
The issue of sexual assault and harassment in the Army was put under a spotlight this summer after the Army secretary and chief of staff were handed the results of an independent committee’s lengthy report on Fort Hood’s handling of sex crimes, homicides and suicides.
Fourteen leaders at that central Texas installation, from the deputy commander down to the squad level, were relieved or suspended in the wake of the review.
The report raised concerns about how Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention programs are conducted across the force, as well as how the Army investigates soldiers’ deaths and disappearances beyond Fort Hood.
But Army CID agents charged with investigating these cases regularly find themselves assigned to understaffed field offices, inundated with high caseloads and mismanaged by their leadership, four career special agents told Army Times following the release of the Fort Hood report.
“Everything they put in that report was said on a daily basis by actual case agents,” said one CID agent who was previously assigned to Fort Hood. “The real problem with the MP [officers] is that they’re trying to run CID units like normal Army units, and that is absolutely impossible to do.”

A GLASGOW primary school has been targeted by gangs of youths using the playground for illegal lockdown parties.
Our Lady of the Rosary Primary, in the city's south side, has suffered a spate of broken windows, littering and cop call outs since the coronavirus pandemic broke out.
Cardonald councillor Jim Kavanagh has also claimed thugs were caught on CCTV throwing “industrial rockets” at the building on Bonfire Night.
The Labour politician held crunch talks with school officials last week, the Glasgow Times reports.

He said: “On Thursday night, there were youths firing industrial rockets off.
“It’s costing an absolute fortune. We’ve had a window broken, we’ve had littering and parties in the playground."
Cllr Kavanagh claims the school issues have been ongoing for years due to a lack of security fencing.
But issues have escalated after lockdown left many youths with nowhere else to go.

A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Over the past few months there have been a number of calls made to police about incidents of anti-social behaviour in the grounds of the school and in June we received one report of a window having been broken.
“We have a local community police officer who regularly visits the school and to discuss and issues they may have.
“At this time, we have no report of rockets being thrown at the school on November 5, however, would encourage anyone with concerns about the area to contact police.”

ANGELES City Councilor Jesus Sangil has asked the local government and the private sector to support the community pantry, which is helping people in terms of food and other goods, now that the country is in health crisis.
Sangil commended the Maginhawa Community Pantry that ignited the bayanihan spirit of the country recently.
A food pantry is a community-based program that collects and safely stores food and household products for free distribution to low-income and needy members of the community.
The Maginhawa Community Pantry is a movement intended to help the people in their community who do not have the means to feed themselves and their families.
It is an initiative of Ana Patricia Non, a 26–year–old entrepreneur in Quezon City and daughter of a former city hall employee of Angeles City, Art Non.
Sangil said the community pantry project will also augment the effort Department of Social Welfare and Development relief program.
"It will help people especially the marginalized sector and the working class who are greatly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic," Sangil said.
“Let us set aside politics here, no political boundaries and color in helping our fellowmen,” he added.
Sangil said when the city and nearby provinces were hardly hit by the Mount Pinatubo eruption, the bayanihan spirit was very much alive.
As a journalist recalling his coverage of the Pinatubo disaster and the rehabilitation and renewal of the affected areas in Angeles city and Pampanga, Sangil said he will file a resolution commending the laudable project of Ana Patrcia Non at the council’s regular session on Tuesday, April 20.

The dog days of summer are winding down, and there’s no better time to celebrate man’s best friend than on National Dog Day!
Not sure how to commemorate the momentous occasion? Here are a few ideas to show some love for the canine in your life.
- Dress ‘em up! We love to put on our snazziest attire when we’re celebrating ourselves (e.g., birthdays, weddings, etc.) so why should we deny this indulgence to our pups? At the very least, a new collar is in order. If you really want to turn the swag up, consider one of these show-stopping ensembles, all available at The Rover Boutique’s Etsy shop
- Bake a scrumptious treat. My dog loves this healthy recipe, and I can rest easy about giving it to him because I know EXACTLY what’s in it. All-natural ingredients allow for a stress-free, tasty (as long as I don’t burn it!) treat.
- Of course, a gift is a great way to honor your pup. My dog is a powerful chewer, so I’m trying out one of these indestructable GoughNut dog toys this year.
If your dog is less than enthusiastic about chewing. I’m incredibly jealous because you have lots of adorably soft and cuddly options to choose from, including this precious fleece rabbit and a yellow lab toy that looks just like our very own Mo.
- Take time to teach a new trick. Contrary to popular belief, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. If you need some inspiration, Better Homes and Gardens recently published this helpful article on tips and best practices.
- Take Fido on a special outing. A hike in the woods, a walk by the river, or just a leisurely stroll in a nearby neighborhood. Your furry friend will love to see new sights and smell new smells.
If you don’t have a dog, you can still celebrate by spending some time with local shelter dogs or making a donation to help dogs in need. As always, PetFinder.com is a great place to search for adoptable pets in your area if you’re looking for a new best friend. (Did you know? Mohawk is a proud PetFinder Foundation supporter.

Modesto works to break homeless cycle with tents under 9th St. Bridge | RAW
Lena Howland shared this Facebook live with an update to the Modesto Outdoor Emergency shelter system under the 9th St. Bridge in Modesto. More than one month after the tent shelter system opened, city officials say that the program is working and that any night they have about 350 - 400 people sleeping here. So far, they've been able to get 40 former residents into more permanent housing.

More images of the Infiniti QX80 Monograph has been released, now that the mega-SUV is making its appearance at the 2017 New York International Auto Show. It’s not a production car, but a “design study” that focuses on Infiniti’s future design language, particularly on the QX80.
The face is brasher this time round, featuring a much bigger ‘double-arch’ grille flanking a pair of ‘human-eye’ headlamps with ‘piano key’ LEDs. Another interesting feature are those LED eyebrows that stretches back on the front fenders, leading to a rear-facing camera on each side which replaces the side mirrors.
On the sides, the door handles sit flush to the body panels, and Infiniti says that the vents behind each wheel are not just decorative items, they eliminate turbulent and drag-inducing air from the wheel arches. The rims by the way, are actually 24-inch items, but they look bigger because the outer edges overlap the tyres by a couple of inches; a cheeky way to trick the bystanders. And you may also notice that they have altered the crescent-cut D-pillars with sharper and higher trailing edge.
The designers have made the back appear wider than before by playing with more horizontal lines. The tail lights are slimmer and wider, and they also use that same ‘piano key’ effect as the headlamps. By moving the number plate holder to the bumper makes the rear cleaner too.
Infiniti’s Vice President of Global Product Strategy said “The QX80 Monograph is an exploration of how we plan to take a step forward in the large SUV segment. This is an important initiative for Infiniti, as the QX80 is popular with buyers in a number of markets – particularly in North America and the Middle East.” Just in case if you’re wondering, the current-generation QX80 is actually available on sale here in Malaysia, costing just a couple of grand below RM800k.

a dementia-fueled Vigilante novel by Tweed Jefferson
Join The Old Man as he sets out to right the wrongs of conniving conspirators, sociopathic manipulators, and remorseless abusers. He’s sick of it all – conspicuous consumerism, abuses of authority, backstabbing friends, toxic family. And now being stuck in this ‘assisted’ living facility. He’d never had it in him to do anything about it before, but now, with the early-onset dementia and terminal health conditions, what does he have to lose?
Along the way, he must confront his own identity and what it means to be human in a modern-day dystopia. As he goes on his journey, the old man begins to forget things. He forgets who he is, what he’s doing, and even why he is doing it. But even as he forgets, he continues to fight. He fights for himself, for his loved ones, and for the world he believes in. One thing he doesn’t forget is to take his dog along.
Patrimonious is a forget-and-forget revenge thriller where the mystery is figuring out who we are and what the hell we’re doing with our lives. It is a story about how even in the darkest of times, we can find the strength to fight back. About how even when we forget who we are, we can still remember what is important. A story that warrants a second read and will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
Tweed Jefferson is the author of several books, including the Rockstar Nobody and Freshman Nobody series. He blends his experiences as an artist and regular guy in a fucked-up world into novels about good-guy vigilantes and young-adult abusees. He writes characters through the lens of mental illness, neurodivergence, and trauma resilience and bases his books on real-life people and behaviors in a futile attempt to understand the human condition. Patrimonious is the ninth book he has written.
A limited number of first-edition copies of Patrimonious will be available with your choice of four covers!
Patrimonious, Chapter One: Discorporate
“I’m not old enough for this shit,” the old man grumbles into his plate of eggs and oatmeal. No salt or seasoning of any kind. The lowest-common denominator of food. If bland was a color, this would be it.
“What’s that?” His son asks.
“I said I’m not old enough to be here,” the old man rephrases, looking up without making eye contact.
The younger man is almost forty now. They’ve never been close, he and the old man. He’s in town for a couple more days to help his dad get moved into Sunrise, the assisted-living home in the city. After a decade alone in the mountains, the old man was none-too-pleased to share a hallway with a bunch of crazy old kooks. He’s far too young to be locked up in one of these hell-holes. Funny thing, the boy’s mom worked at this kind of place – the same company, even – back when she was pregnant with him. She’d come home every night with horror stories. Of dirty old men, sure, but mostly of staff abusing patients, leaving them in their own shit. Stealing from, and then gaslighting, the residents. They were horror stories to him, the old man, the younger old man. His ex found it funny.
Shitting himself had always been one of his worst fears. Of course, in his younger days, he’d had a few leaks after a night of heavy drinking, but fortunately, he’s not here because he can’t control his bowels. No, the old man’s other worst fear had come true. Something was going on with his brain and he’d begun losing his memory and having ‘episodes’ of dissociation. The doctors haven’t been able to determine what’s going on, exactly, but for the time being, he’s gotta stay here. He’d hoped to die at his little sanctuary – preferably outside, where the coyotes and birds could get to him.
“I know, Dad. It’s just for a few months. When I get back from this schedule, we’ll find some hot nurse to come live with you. What’s the big deal? Look at all the action here. I hear the ratio is six-to-one.” He sounds like the old man when he was that age, despite their lack of time together over the years, delivering the line with a straight face that made you unsure if he was serious or joking.
Continuing to prod at the lifeless mound on his plate, he doesn’t look up in response to his son’s comments. The old man wasn’t too interested in playing the field in the dementia ward. Nevermind the syphilis and gonorrhea outbreaks, he was feeling anxious just being in this dining room, eating – or attempting to eat – while surrounded by shriveled lips slurping at runny oatmeal and yogurt being sucked from shaking spoons. Misophonia, it’s called. You know when you’ve been in a shitty relationship for a too-long time and everything the other person does annoys you? The way they breathe, the sound of them eating. Now imagine that, but instead of it being that cheating son-of-a-bitch ex, it’s everybody. Regular people. It’s not that the old man specifically hated all people. It’s something that’s happened for most of his life and he couldn’t control it. Certain noises were ‘nails on a chalkboard’ to him. Though, not actual nails on a chalkboard, that didn’t bother him. After years of living alone, the sounds felt amplified by a thousand decibels. He’s already dreading the attendants badgering him to participate in the inane daily activities while he attempts to wait out the next few months in silence, in his room. It wouldn’t be the first time he’s counted out the days until he dies.
That’s depression for you, though. The old man had never bothered to figure out the number of days and months he’d spent in bed, staring at the wall, watching but not-watching TV. Weeks, every year – for decades. Smoking weed and putzing around his garden managed to stave those feelings off except during the hottest months. Here, he won’t be able to do either. The garden is a dirt patch of tomatoes and he didn’t bring any weed. His plants are going to die without anyone to water them.
“How was your first night?” The girl in the blue scrubs asks, leaning across the plate he’s refraining from eating from to clear empty dishes from the table. Her unflattering top dips into his mash of eggy-oats, rendering them even more inedible, as far as the old man is concerned. He pushes the plate toward the center of the table for her to take. She leaves the uneaten blobs in front of him.
“It was fine, thank you,” his son answers. “We’re going to pick up some more of his stuff today and finish moving in.”
“Sounds great, we’re looking forward to having you with us,” she says, patting the old man on the hand, a combination of insincerity and patronization in her voice. Surely a line she’s said countless times before. The revolving door here must spin faster than the residents can hobble through it.
“I won’t be here very long. Once my son here gets back from his trip, I’ll be moving back home.” He pulls his hand into his lap.
“Mhmm,” she nods. She gets the same story from all new residents. It’s only temporary and the like. The young man doesn’t expect his father to make any kind of recovery. If anything, his memory problems and dementia will probably get worse. Same as it was for the old man’s parents and their parents before them. In this family, you either drop dead at sixty from a heart attack or live forever and lose your mind. The old man had hoped for the former.
Once they’ve loaded the last of his stuff into the tiny apartment, the two men give each other a half-hug, the most affection they ever show each other. The old man grew up being forced to hug everybody his parents knew and, as he aged, he grew more and more uncomfortable with being touched. The old man never imposed any physical affection on his son or his nieces and nephews, as the rest of the adults in his family believed they had the authority and right to do with children.
The old man never bought into the toxic ‘Father Knows Best’ mentality that was commonplace in his family. Growing up being told how to think and feel and being beaten and degraded if he didn’t comply (and also, when he did), the old man went the opposite direction. He spoke openly and in earnest with children. He treated them with respect and humanity, instead of as subservient miniatures to be oppressed and molded into good little capitalist robots.
They treated animals with even less respect, his predecessors. Nevermind their proclivity for using them to make up ninety-percent of their diets and most of their wardrobe, but killing animals for sport. Not even deer-hunting or whatever, but shooting at squirrels or gophers who were only in search of water or their next meal. They didn’t have a garden or anything that the critters would damage; shooting them was a perk of living in the mountains. Treating an animal with humanity was out of the question.
Coming from a long line of merchants and resellers, the old man found the thickness of hypocrisy in his family hilarious. Typical white, Christian ‘mericans. Trump-lovers. ‘Dubya’ before him. Generations of idiots, spending their entire lives in the pursuit of money so they can buy more stuff. Literally no contribution to society. The old man was proud to take a different path, dedicating his life to art and nature. Music and animals. His family always told him that he was a failure and a fool because he spent his time and money helping others, but rejected the need for a new genuine-leather sofa or granite countertops every few years – or in his case, ever. His family hated his spartan lifestyle.
That’s a gross exaggeration, the way his family perceived the way he lived – not their resentment. He had a house. It had furniture and dishes – more than one of each, even. The old man had never felt the need for validation through conspicuous consumerism. He built his own furniture to suit his needs. Basic carpentry skills made up for his lack of disposable income. He’d buy cheap pots and pans and tools because they fulfilled their purpose adequately. They, the old man’s family, always told him, “You’re so smart, you’re so talented, you can be anything!” Except who he wanted to be, apparently. Shit, none of his family, except one brother, even bothered to come to any of his art shows. Never publicly praised or privately supported any of the community organizations or arts-and-music events he’d put together.
“Excuse me, sir?” An aide half-knocks before poking her head into the door of his cluttered one-bedroom apartment. The one redeeming factor of this room is the view. It looks down on the city from above. What floor is this, anyway? Ninth or tenth, maybe. Instead of numbering the rooms based on their floor, like in a hotel, like any sane person would do, they’ve given each floor some cutesy name. The Busy Beehive, Darling and Dapper, Fairytale Friends. Stupid shit like that. Despite the alliterations, the letters don’t correspond numerically to their position in the alphabet when it came to naming each floor. That would have made a lot more sense, the old man thinks before being reminded of the young woman in the doorway.
“We’re getting ready to have art time downstairs. You should come join us.”
“No, thank you. I’d like to settle in here.” He waves at the stack of boxes.
The blue-and-pink-floral scrubbed girl takes his reply as an invitation to enter. The old man turns his gaze from the window, watching her all-white sneakers make their way across the room.
“Your son told us you used to be an artist. You really should come down. It’ll be a great opportunity to meet your neighbors.” Used to be an artist? Still an artist, as far as the old man is concerned. He just doesn’t need to prove it to anybody. A few of his pieces lean against the wall in the bedroom closet, waiting to be hung, but he may just leave them there. Put something else up on the walls. Tasteful nudes, maybe. Or some old gangsta-rap posters. Whatever it is, it should be something he’d never have put up before. There was always somebody who thought his taste in art was offensive. It would be okay to put that sort of thing up around his house now, but he’d never gotten around to decorating the place. Function over form.
“No, thank you. I’m tired now.”
Despite twice being rejected, Harper C. takes his elbow and starts guiding the old man to the door. “Harper C.” That’s what her name tag says. The old man wonders if her last name is Collins. He doesn’t put up a fight and allows her to escort him down the hall and into the elevator. While still facing the old man, making awkward small talk, she hits a button on the elevator labeled with a ‘C’.
H, D, K, F, B, I, G, E, L, A, C. The old man repeats over and over in his mind. He tries to find a mnemonic device or initialism to help. High Definition Killing Fields Bigelac. Honda Driver, Kite Flyer. The Bigelac part was easy, at least. It would be a lot easier to work it over without Harper C. asking, “Where did you grow up?” and “Do you have any other family around here?” The old man has always hated small-talk. So insincere. Not a good way to get to know somebody at all, even if you do keep asking questions about them. That’s all they really want you to do, anyway. Then they can give their rehearsed speech about, “Well, I grew up in New Mexico, but my family moved out here when I was…” and “My art is really an expression of myself and my life. It’s infused with my connection to [choose: god/nature/trauma]…” Anyway, what’s the point in memorizing the floors if he’s going to leave in a few weeks.
The elevator doors crawl open and the old man shoots into the hallway, attempting to get ahead of the next asinine question and to whatever “art” thing they’re doing. Perhaps he’s a bit more spry than Harper C. is used to with the residents here. She races to catch up to the old man to ‘direct’ him to the community room, like he can’t follow the signs and giant arrows on the walls. And floor. And ceiling.
“Here. You sit here, next to Miss Pammy and Miss Julie,” Harper C. says loud enough for every hearing aid in the room to pick up. The women on either side of the empty easel-station smile widely at the old man, fluffing their thinning gray-purple hair and sending a cloud of Chanel No. 5 or Yves Saint Laurent or L’Air du Âgée at the old man. Whatever scent it is, it’s the same his grandma wore.
“Have fun, you guys!” Harper C. calls to the room, but aims her voice at the old man and his two new acquaintances. Her walkie-talkie squawks and she unclips it from her elastic waistband, saying something incoherent into the black-plastic box before rushing out of the room.
Without taking a seat at the prepared art station, the old man treks back into the hallway, certain Harper C. is fast on her way somewhere across the building. A balding, thirty-something man in horn-rimmed glasses calls out a few ‘excuse me, sir’s at the old man’s back. The old Irish exit, he thinks as the elevator doors open, seemingly slower than before. The row of letters come alive with their orange backlights illuminating black sans-serif letters. H, D, K, F, B, I, G, E, L, A, C.
Okay, this is the bottom floor, C. What floor was I on? Fuck! The old man curses himself for not remembering the stupid painting on the wall across from the elevator. An attempt at a mural by some pandering artist, stenciled in bright colors in post-children’s-book-meets-hotel-art fashion. A crudely drawn animal holding a sign with the name of the floor. A koala, the old man thinks, vaguely remembering some pointed-leaf, definitely-not-eucalyptus trees painted in an unflattering three-color green-brown-tan scheme.
He presses and holds the ‘K’ button until the doors begin to close and the orange lights give way to semi-transparent plastic under each number except the one his finger is holding. In the hallway, he goes about as far as he recalls his room being from the elevator and begins opening doors on the side of the hall he thinks is south, the direction of his view. Seniors, gaze fixed on a phone or TV screen, don’t look up as the old man glances around each room. For emergency reasons or whatever, the doors to the cramped apartments don’t lock. The third door he opens reveals some shabby, hand-made furniture and boxes of basic dishware and art supplies.
“Fuck!” The old man yells at the wall as the auto-closing door clicks shut behind him. He grabs a box of office supplies – pens and notebooks and the like – from the laminated kitchenette counter and hurls it across the room, spilling loose pages and about a hundred of the exact-same model pen, the only one that he likes to write with, over the folding sofa-bed-desk that the old man had built years ago so he could work when he felt ill. When his stomach or the nerve pain got to be too much for an office chair. Or when he was trying to ease in or out of a depression spell. He’d felt this kind of frustration over and over again. Stuck. No way out. What the fuck was he going to do?
The old man gathers up the papers and pens and stuffs them back into the cardboard box with little ceremony or organization. He gently returns the box to its same place in the corner of the room that serves as kitchen and dining room and plops down on his trusty sofa-desk.
The alarms on the doors would be easy to beat. Even if they go off, he can still make a break for it. And if he gets caught, just feign dementia – pretend like he thinks it’s time to go to work or something. The problem is: Then what? Take the bus around town? There aren’t any buses that run all the way up to his house in the mountains. No, he’d have to get a car. Temporarily. Once he gets home, he could figure out a way to return it. The old man isn’t sure how to work that one. It’s like the old fox, rabbit, cabbage puzzle. How does one guy move two cars fifty miles without getting caught? He figures it could work to stay on the back roads, off the highways, drive one car a mile, walk back, drive the next for two miles, walk back, and so on. The amount of walking would be the same as if the old man were to start walking home from here right now. If he escapes, they’ll find him on foot on the route back to his house. He can’t hide from the cops or whoever they’d send to look for him unless he has a car. Fuck!

In the 1630's and the 1640's, the Puritans traveled to the colonies to detach from their opinion of a convoluted Church of England. They set up towns and started new lives that were all based on their idea of a pure religion. The Puritan's definition of a pure religion did not include many of the ideas of the Church of England. They built the colonies and made a system based upon the idea that God was the most important aspect of life. Puritan ideas and values influenced the political, economic, and social development of the New England colonies from 1630 through the 1660’s by spreading their beliefs into every facet of daily life. Politically their ideas regarding what was considered sinful behavior and how power was separated among the
With religious reforms causing controversy in England came the Puritans, known for their simplicity in their way of life. They wore basic clothing and were against consumption of alcohol and sex (unless married). With the disagreements of the religious conflicts happening in England, the puritans “wanted to purify the Church of England from within.” The sole reason the idea sparked to settle a colony in America was in search of a Puritan lifestyle and the freedom to do so. On March 4, 1629 King Charles gave the Massachusetts Bay Company a charter while not knowing the true nature of what this colony was to become and for the reasons behind it. Still, the Puritans left for America in March 1630. In contrast to the type of people who immigrated to Virginia, the Massachusetts population was mostly nuclear families, meaning husband, wife, and kids. Also differing from the colonists in Virginia, the settlers in Massachusetts Bay worked together for the common good of the colony. Along with their lives and beliefs, their government and politics were religiously based as well and soon they decided upon a Congregationalism form of church government. Their churches were a matter of choice but in order to become a member they had a strict regulation “In order to join one (a church) a man or woman had to provide testimony–a confession of faith–before neighbors who already had been admitted as full members.” Because religion was the bases behind Massachusetts being colonization crimes and religious disagreements called for serious
The New England colonies development was influenced upon the arrival of the Puritans. The Puritans brought with them many ideas and values to help better the colonies. One of the political ideas the Puritans had were town meetings which was a form of democracy. Economically, the Puritans were big on trading, fishing and farming. Also one of the main reasons the Puritans came to the New World was to purify the churches which impacted the colonies socially. The ideas and values of the Puritans influenced the development of the New England colonies politically by having the first pure form of democracy, economically by trading and farming, and socially by purifying the churches.
The New England colonies developed quickly and rapidly through the early 1600s. The colonies’ development was largely influenced by the Puritans, who had helped found most of the colonies in the region after emigrating from GB. The philosophies, ideas, and values of the Puritans greatly shaped the development of the colonies in a number of distinct ways. Politically, the idea of a united, representative government that later became a staple of the US was derived from Puritan ideals. Economically, the ideals of fair pricing and the celebrated “Yankee frugality and thriftiness” originated from the Puritans. Socially, emphasis on church, religion, and community was another lasting influence of the Puritans. Clearly, the values held by the Puritans greatly influenced the political, economic, and social development of the New England colonies from 1630 to 1660.
Dissent always existed in the New England Colonies; the Puritans rarely all agreed on one point. Differing theological opinions forged a schism between groups and lead to the creation of colonies such as Rhode Island. As they stressed literacy, individuals formed their own impressions of the gospel. Minister Roger Williams, for example, disagreed with the Massachusetts Bay Colony’s Indian relations and lack of religious freedoms. Roger Williams wrote this on the matter, “God requireth not a uniformity of religion to be enacted and enforced; which enforced uniformity sooner or later is the greatest occasion of civil war.”
The puritans go create the Massachusetts Bay Colony. They didn’t have strict rules like England, people were not forced to go to church, it all seems great. However, there were many issues. Puritans believed in Calvinism, or predestination. This was the idea that everything is preset by God and nothing you do can change your fate. “Nothing a person did in his or her lifetime could alter God’s choice or provide assurance that the person was predestined for salvation with the elect or damned to hell with the doomed multitude.” (The American
The New England colonies developed rapidly, largely due to the influence of the Puritans. The Puritans came to the new world seeking religious freedom and helped found most of the colonies in the New England region. The Puritans wanted a United government that will later become the basis for the Unites States, they believed that the overall well being of the people was more important than the well being of the few, and the Puritans believed that religion, church, and community were important aspects of the people’s lives. The Puritans’ religion allowed them to prosper in the political, economical, and social development of the New England Colonies in the 1630-1660’s.
On the North American Atlantic seaboard, New England began developing in the early 17th century. After Spain began the mad scramble for American land, other European nations and peoples realized the opportunities the New World provided. New England, or the northern British colonies, were largely settled and so were influenced by the Puritans, a group that emigrated from Britain to escape religious persecution. The ideas and values of the Puritans greatly shaped the development of the New England colonies in many ways, but the strongest influence out of these was their religious values. This influence can be seen in the politics, economy, and culture of colonial New England. Politically, the foundations for limited government and religious freedom in the Americas were developed by the Puritans. The Puritans would create a strong work ethic and a disdain for greed that would influence the growing economy. Socially, the Puritans created an emphasis on faith and education. The religious values held by the Puritans
In the spring of 1630, John Winthrop and his group of Puritan immigrants arrived on the shores of the Massachusetts Bay. There they founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony, an exclusively Puritan settlement based on the strict religious ideas of the colonists. As the colony expanded from the 1630s to the 1660s, these strict Puritan ideas and values influenced its economic development by putting the focus of the colony on the religion instead of on the creation of a settlement for monetary or expansive profit, its political development, by and its social development, by regulating the way other religions, women, and education were treated.
They came with a goal based on religion and their new colony was created on solely that. Religion affected the political, economic, and social development of the New England Colonies. The Puritans in the New England Colonies had a very accelerated
During the 1700s two major regions, New England and the Chesapeake Bay both were colonized by large amounts of English origin, both varied in very distinct ways in spite of both areas being settled by the same country. The New England colonies emigrated with family units and focused more on the religious aspect of life whereas The Chesapeake colonies consisted of farmers, the colonies were focused on agriculture and economics. Originally in England, Puritans that were persecuted because of their beliefs wanted to create New England. By creating this new colony, Puritans were able to freely practice their religion without being penalized. Puritans wanted a tight knit community along with the church and government to join together to make a close
Puritans’ Effects on New England Colonies Throughout the 1600s, the New England colonies rapidly developed in many aspects. The development of the colonies was greatly affected by the Puritans— a group of English Reformed Protestants hoping to model a perfect Christian society. Their values and philosophies led to the political, economic, and social development of the New England colonies. Politically, the Puritans’ representative government would later result in the establishment of the governing system still in place in the United States today. Economically, the idea of a part-to-whole ratio for Puritan communities was recreated throughout the colonies.
Puritans should be pat on the back for setting the basic fundamentals for the colonies to follow. “You have to develop ways so that you can take up for yourself, and then you take up for someone else. And so sooner or later, you have enough courage to really stand up for the human race and say, 'I'm a representative.” –Maya Angelou. Politically, the Puritans started out with a limited democracy, mostly male full church member were considered citizens. Later on they developed a representative democracy this became the primary principal for New England. Socially, their society was intolerant of other religions. During this time they did not get along with the Catholics and hoped to purify the Church of England. However, as time grew on, slowly,
For the Puritans in the early New England colonies life was by no means easy, but there was the possibility to expand their beliefs free from the persecution from Church of England. They had the opportunity to create their ideal society under God with the bible as their law from which they would define how to live. The Puritans set out to create their model society which could spread and cull the impurities from the church. But how did these beliefs and goals ultimately effect their society?
Puritanism was a religious movement that began in the late sixteenth century. The puritans were a group of reformed protestants who sought to “purify” the Church of England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. However, puritanism was not just a historical movement, it was a lifestyle that the puritans brought to New England. Puritanism can be defined by predestination, calling, covenant, Protestant ethic, and conversion.

Although the show has ended there are some things which are bothering its lead actor, Samir Soni aka Kunal of “Parichay”. He seriously feels that there was enough room for changes in the plot and the storyline and the show could have been continued further for some more time.
Evaluating the early closure of the show, Samir felt that there were various reasons for it. The first and the foremost being the changes in the time slot from 9.30 pm to 10.30 pm slot. This move by the channel cost the show its loyal audiences, who due to shift at late night, preferred to watch the show in its repeat telecast.
Secondly since the story of the show only focused on the struggles of its main protagonist Kunal Chopra, it could have been taken further by exploring the after effects in Kunal’s life after he achieves success and riches. Well Samir this life you win some you lose some.

Smartphone games now require power.This implies that the batteries must be able to keep up.The processor and graphics chip must also be of high quality to make the image fluid.In short, the more advanced the components are, the better the gameplay will be.
We’ve been playing for several hours and it seems to us that this nova 7 5G 128 GB is incredible.The elements installed by the manufacturer are serious.Here this model is equipped with a Kirin 985 5G (7 nm) with a calculation unit for graphics.This component allows a great fluidity at the level of the images.
When it comes to storage memory, 32 GB is the minimum on most smartphones today.No worries with this well-supplied model; 128 GB have been installed.And unfortunately, Huawei didn’t think it would be useful to add a memory extension next to the original memory location.
Normal use of this smartphone is adapted to its level of autonomy.This model is identical to what you will find in the competition.The power is 4000 mAH, well enough for the day.
For the application part, the characteristics to be taken into account are similar to those for video games.In addition, there is a need for optimal screwing comfort.This means a large display and high display density.Qualities that this model possesses.It has one of the best possible configurations: an 6.53 -inch, 403* ppi screen.This means that whatever the document, the details will be clearly displayed.Better images, better fonts, smoother lines.Comfortable for the eyes.
In addition, you have the NFC component installed by default.A handy feature when it comes to making contactless payments, just using your phone.
What about the videos?
Having become an essential use of smartphones, the photo function has made great strides since the first generations.For a long time, manufacturers have been communicating about the millions of pixels their devices were equipped with.The ability to stabilize at the time of shooting or the Burst mode are also important points.Being able to retouch the obtained photos is appreciated.Huawei has a long history of designing quality products.
The latter has perfectly integrated the camera lens and the functionalities adapted to this Android smartphone.And finally, there are 4 targets on this phone.
The 1080 x 2400 screen resolution makes this nova 7 5G 128 GB an excellent smartphone, better than most of the competition.In the end, you’ll have movies with great pictures to see on your TV.This phone contains 128 GB of space, including space for system or mandatory applications.It’s the best thing that’s happening right now.
Perfect for downloads.Holiday photos or your outings with friends.And thanks to this large amount of storage, you won’t have enough of your vacation to completely fill the memory.
The nova 7 5G 128 GB – in a nutshell
The design of smartphones is now a core business of Huawei.Our tests have shown that this nova 7 5G 128 GB is suitable for most uses.
This model is in the top tier in almost all areas.All in all, an excellent quality/price ratio.

“The growth of TLA as a movement and academic field is having, and can further catalyze, profound effects on our culture, such as exploring how language can begin to break through cultural, political and historic agendas, and through the personal fear, rage and despair that disempower individuals and communities. TLA seeks to preserve the richness and diversity of language itself, and the intimacy of human-to-human contact in an increasingly technological age.”
Often times when I am describing my work as a TLA student, I am met with intrigue and curiosity about what exactly TLA is. The answer is broad, because TLA is such a fluid and malleable practice that can easily be molded to fit the community it serves.
“Writing, storytelling, theatre, and music can work towards community-building, cultural and ecological restoration, and personal development. Transformative Language artists, scholars, facilitators, and consultants facilitate in many venues, including community centers, schools, prisons, health centers and hospitals, businesses, research facilities, and retreat centers.”
This is one of the elements of TLA that makes it so wonderful. It can exist almost anywhere expression and language is invited. While describing the method we each use for our own TLA practices may vary, the TLA Network has designed a set of guiding values that encompass all of the work regardless of the details.
As we more forward as practitioners and students in TLA, having a firm grasp on the guiding values that fuel our TLA experiences will help us stay grounded in the work we do. While the situations, communities, and details of our TLA experiences may be unique, the values that we strive to hold those experiences to do not change.
- Cooperation — collaborating for the good of all.
- Community-building — fostering community among those of us in the field, and sharing tools and for strengthening our local communities.
- Empowerment — working in ways that help people, organizations, businesses, institutions and communities further empower themselves.
- Sustainability — developing sustainable ways to do this work we love, build community, and sustain our individual and collective health.
- Collective Wisdom — recognizing that we each hold a piece of the truth, and together, we can best honor the love and wisdom guiding us.
Interested in learning more about TLA? Consider getting a certification in Transformative Language Arts from the TLA Network or take one of our classes.

text: The Red Crossbill is a medium-sized red finch with dark-brown wings and a distinctive crossed-bill. The Red Crossbill uses its specially adapted bill for opening its main food source: conifer seeds; however, Red Crossbills have also been observed eating insects and caterpillars. North American in its distribution, the Red Crossbill can be found in the mountains of central Mexico and as far south as northern Nicaragua. Even in temperate regions of North America, the Red Crossbill has the unusual ability to breed at any time of year, as long as there are sufficient conifer seed crops to feed their young. Up to nine "types" of Red Crossbill have been described, each having a distinct flight call and bill size; additional genetic analysis is needed to determine if any or all of these subspecies are reproductively isolated. Very little work has been conducted on crossbills in Mexico, Guatemala or Nicaragua but initial field work suggests several undescribed types occur.

Too much lead: Water shut off at 2 Medford grade schools
Tue., Aug. 2, 2016
MEDFORD, Ore. – Drinking water has been shut off at two Medford schools after officials said tests revealed it contained too much lead.
The results received late last week showed water from 73 percent of fixtures at Jackson Elementary and 80 percent of fixtures at Roosevelt Elementary exceeded the 20 parts per billion level at which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calls for cleanup measures.
The findings came after the district completely replaced plumbing at both schools in 2009. Officials said tests taken between 2011 and 2015 showed no indication of elevated lead levels.
“These are the last (schools) that we expected there to be any problems; it just doesn’t make any sense to see those elevated levels,” said Ron Havniear, the district’s facilities and support services manager.
The Mail Tribune reported school officials sent parents a letter, took additional samples for a retest and distributed water bottles for students and staff to use during the Kids Unlimited summer camp program at Roosevelt and Jackson.
The Medford Water Commission will take samples Wednesday or Thursday to see if the lead is coming from the municipal water supply. If that’s eliminated as a source, the district will look at its plumbing to find the source of the lead, Havniear said.
“We’re in a holding pattern until we get the next round of samples back,” He said.
In the meantime, the district is referring parents with concerns to medical professionals who can determine whether blood tests are warranted.
Without federal mandates for testing water systems in school buildings and with the Flint, Michigan, water crisis at center stage of the debate, Gov. Kate Brown has called on Oregon’s 197 school districts to craft procedures for testing lead, radon and other chemicals at their campuses by this fall.

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NRG eVgo, a subsidiary of NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG), is expanding its comprehensive electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure designed to support EV drivers whenever and wherever they choose to charge - at single family or apartment residences, at work, on the road, or even at the airport to the Atlanta metro area. The new network will give Atlanta EV drivers unprecedented access to cutting-edge fast charging technology and bring much-needed EV infrastructure to the region.
“We are pleased that NRG has chosen to expand its eVgo charging network in the City of Atlanta,” said Mayor Kasim Reed. “Establishing a robust fast-charging network is essential to even broader adoption of electric vehicle use, both here in Atlanta and across the country.”
Recently, according to IHS Automotive, Atlanta emerged as the second major metropolitan market for EV sales, following San Francisco. Atlanta is geographically large, meaning most people commute to work, and have a need for a sustainable, reliable charging infrastructure. The network of eVgo DC fast chargers, which are the fastest chargers available today, can charge an EV in less than 30 minutes and will be located along major thoroughfares in retail locations that are inviting and engaging to EV drivers. In addition to the fast charging network, eVgo will be providing comprehensive EV infrastructure covering workplaces, multi-family buildings, and residences in the Greater Atlanta metropolitan area.
“Atlanta drivers have embraced cleaner, more efficient vehicles to make their city one of the fastest growing EV markets in the country,” said Arun Banskota, President of NRG eVgo. “Combining Atlanta’s enthusiasm for driving electric with the range confidence of a fast charging infrastructure will create an unbeatable combination that sets the stage for further EV adoption across the metro area and country.”
This fast charging network supports eVgo’s partnership with Nissan to expand the “No Charge to Charge” program to the Atlanta market. Already in 13 markets, “No Charge to Charge” is a first-of-its-kind partnership that provides Nissan LEAF buyers with complimentary 24-month access to the eVgo network, as well as other EV charging networks, using a single EZ-Charge access card*.
“As one of the market leading sellers of the 100% electric Nissan LEAF, I’ve experienced firsthand the real demand for electric vehicles in Atlanta. I am pleased that NRG eVgo is bringing reliable, convenient EV fast charging to our market,” said, Pat Hoban, Owner of Capitol City Nissan in Atlanta.
With over 180 fast charge stations currently installed, eVgo is building a comprehensive network of fast-charging sites in the U.S. as well as the infrastructure to support charging at residences and workplaces. By expanding to the Atlanta market, eVgo furthers its commitment to support all EV drivers wherever and however they choose to charge.
“By expanding to new markets, eVgo is building upon and furthering its commitment to support all EV drivers wherever and however they choose to charge,” Banskota continued. “We believe EV drivers deserve fast, reliable, and affordable charging options and we’re proud to work to bring these innovative solutions to Atlanta EV drivers.”
