This wikiHow teaches you how to connect your PC to a TV using an HDMI cable. Connecting your PC to your TV will enable you to display your computer screen on your TV, so you can watch movies or browse the internet on the big screen. All you need to connect the two devices is an HDMI cable.
Part 1 of 2:
Connecting the PC to the TV
Connect one end of the HDMI cable to the PC. The HDMI slot is usually behind the CPU if you have a desktop computer, or on the side of a keyboard on a laptop.
Some PC’s may use a regular HDMI port, while others will use an HDMI mini or MiniDisplay port.
For HDMI mini and MiniDisplay cables, one end of the cable should be an HDMI mini or MiniDisplay cable which you can plug into your computer, and the other end should be a regular sized HDMI cable.
Not all computers have an HDMI port. Some older computer may use a VGA or DVI cable. You can connect these to the HDMI port of a TV using an adapter and a separate audio cable. If you are using a laptop that does not have an HDMI or other video-out port, you can purchase a USB-to-HDMI adapter. You may need to install additional software on your PC.
Connect the other end of the cable to the TV. Find a free HDMI port on your TV and connect the other end of the cable to it. The ports are usually numbered and labeled with “HDMI”.
Make a note of which HDMI port you are connecting to.
Make sure you purchase an HDMI cable that is the right length needed to connect from your PC to your TV. Measure the distance if needed.
Use the TV remote to select the HDMI source on the TV. Look for a button on the TV or remote that says “Source”, or “Input” or something similar. Use this button to select the HDMI port you connected your PC to.
After connecting the PC and TV together, sometimes the TV will automatically display what’s on your computer monitor. If it is blank, use Method 2 to detect your TV in Windows 10.
Use the number labels on the HDMI ports to help you find which HDMI source your computer is connected to.
Detecting Your TV in Windows
Click the Start
menu on your PC. This is usually found in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. It has an icon with the Windows logo. This displays the Start menu.
Click the Settings
icon. It’s the icon that resembles a gear. It’s on the left side of the Start menu.
Click System. It’s the first option in the Windows Settings menu. It’s next to an icon that resembles a laptop computer.
Click Display. It’s the first option in the sidebar menu to the left. This displays your Display settings.
Scroll down and click Detect. It’s at the bottom of the Display Settings menu. Windows will detect any connected displays.
Adjust the resolution as needed so it looks good on your TV. If you have an HDTV, select 1920 x 1080 in the “Resolution” drop-down menu. If you have a 4K TV, select up to 3840 x 2160 or highest possible resolution in the “Resolution” drop-down menu.

The Court of Appeal yesterday dismissed an attempt by lawyer Spencer Gwee Hak Theng to get the highest court in Singapore to hear his case for having paid sex with a minor.
Gwee, 60, was found guilty and sentenced to four months in jail by a district court in July last year for paying a 16-year-old Vietnamese prostitute $300 for sex at a hotel in Geylang.
His appeal to the High Court was dismissed four months later by Justice Choo Han Teck.
But Gwee, who was a prosecutor in the early stages of his nearly 40-year legal career, then sought recourse to the apex court to decide on what he said were legal issues in his case.
His lawyer, Senior Counsel Chelva Rajah, argued yesterday the case raised three questions of law of public interest which the Court of Appeal should consider and rule on. The questions were: whether procedural safeguards existed in the photographic identification of offenders, whether the prosecution must use the "best evidence" to prove a minor's age, and the standard of proof a judge must use in hearing a criminal appeal.
But Deputy Public Prosecutor Terence Chua argued these were not questions of law of public interest and Gwee's attempt to bring his case to the apex court was simply a disguised appeal.
The Court of Appeal, comprising Judge of Appeal Chao Hick Tin, Judge of Appeal Andrew Phang and Justice Tay Yong Kwang, agreed that the case should go no further.
Justice Chao said the first two questions were not legal issues but questions of fact relating to the particular circumstances of Gwee's case and were matters for the trial judge to decide.
As for the third question, Justice Chao said every lawyer - as well as the judge who heard Gwee's appeal - knew the prosecution had to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Citing the Criminal Procedure Code, he noted that an appellate court can overturn the decision only when it is satisfied that the trial court was wrong in law or had gone against the weight of the evidence. In this case, he said, Justice Choo was satisfied the trial judge had not decided against the weight of the evidence.
Gwee was allowed to start serving his sentence on May 16.
In a separate case, the Court of Appeal granted more time to the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) to appeal against a decision by the High Court regarding contempt of court proceedings against blogger Alex Au.
Last November, the AGC had sought permission from the High Court to prosecute Mr Au for two articles he had published on his blog, Yawning Bread.
Justice Belinda Ang gave the green light for one post, made on Oct 5, in which he allegedly accused the Supreme Court of intentionally manipulating hearing dates. But she disallowed proceedings against a second post, dated Oct 12, which allegedly accused the judiciary of being incapable of making independent judgments.
The AGC appealed but missed the seven-day deadline because of a technical glitch in the electronic-filing system. It then asked a duty High Court judge for a time extension and was granted it. In March, however, the Court of Appeal found the duty judge did not have the power to grant a time extension. Since the application was therefore not valid, the court said it did not have the power to act on the AG's request.
Yesterday, the AGC returned to ask the three-judge Court of Appeal for a time extension to file its appeal. This time, it succeeded. The court also ruled that Mr Au's lawyer, Mr Choo Zheng Xi, can be present at the appeal - to be heard in July at the earliest - but he cannot make arguments.

With the Oscar nominations being announced this morning, we thought we’d turn to favorite books from our favorite actresses, including Oscar nominees Cate Blanchett and J-Law, for our list of reading recommendations this awards season. As it turns out, these ladies aren’t just matinee idols—they’ve got great taste in literature and frequently look for inspiration from their favorite books.
Here are eight favorite books from eight of our favorite actresses, including Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Poehler, Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, Kate Winslet, Kerry Washington, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Julia Roberts. Oh, and ladies, consider this slideshow an informal invitation to join our book club anytime.
The hard-to-hate Hunger Games über-star Jennifer Lawrence loves Salinger's Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour. "I'm so drawn to Salinger's view of society back then, and to his sarcasm," she told CNN. "I read Catcher in the Rye first, then this one. I don't think there's ever been anything like these characters in American literature."
Our favorite Leslie Knope—Amy Poehler, that is, loves John Irving's novel A Prayer for Owen Meany. "Irving captures the innocence of youth, of people growing up together and figuring out who they want to be, and discovering the pain of separation—that made the book great for me," she told O Magazine. "It's about faith and fate, and how you don't know who the messenger is going to be."
Perhaps the greatest actress of our time, Cate Blanchett loves F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night. "The word I think of with this story is 'fragile,'" she told O Magazine. "I was utterly struck by the fineness of Fitzgerald's writing and the timelessness of Dick and Nicole's failures."
The glowing, talented, ageless Julianne Moore says Erica Jong's Fear of Flying gave her the gift of empowerment. "In eighth grade I found my mother's copy of Fear of Flying, which she'd hidden from me," she told Redbook. "I had no idea what all the sex stuff meant! Still, I knew it was about more than sexuality, that it was about female liberation."
The lovely and amazing Kate Winslet actually read—and loved—the book on which her film Revolutionary Road is based. "You see how happiness can be reignited in a relationship that's starting to go sour, but Frank and April insist on seeing themselves as a kind of golden couple, destined for a more glamorous life," she told O Magazine. "It's really a story about disappointment—and how that can destroy one's soul."
Actress and GOOP founder Gwyneth Paltrow goes to the classics. She told O Magazine: "My mother, who is this brilliant actress [Blythe Danner], started reading Jane Eyre to me when I was probably 9 or 10 years old. It was the first adult book that I got lost in."
Longtime favorite girl-next-door "I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to love her" actress Julia Roberts was moved by Faulkner's tragic love story in The Wild Palms. As it turns out Faulkner is the reason she passed high school English. "My punctuation was always kind of ... eccentric," she told O Magazine. "I would say to my teacher, 'Well, you know, William Faulkner—he doesn't use proper punctuation.'"


Price of paving dirt roads
For five generations, Evelyn Witt's family has lived on SW 15th Avenue in Newberry, an unpaved road lined with trees that create a canopy overhead.
Witt has spent her entire life on the road and, when asked about how things have changed, she replied: "Oh my goodness, to start with, this road was originally just a little horse-and-buggy trail."
"I would say even 30 years ago there wasn't but three or four houses every two or three miles," she continued. "Now they're stacked almost."
But Witt is ready for one change to her road - she'd like to see it paved and end the "dust-bowl" effect created by dry weather conditions.
If voters pass a half-cent sales tax measure that will appear on the November ballot, paving SW 15th Avenue is among the projects that local government officials are hoping to complete with the more than $120 million the measure is expected to raise over the next seven years.
Maintaining and paving a dirt road can be costly. And while residents welcome an end to dust brought by paving, many also point out that with asphalt also comes increased traffic and a loss of rural character.
While Witt said she "wouldn't cry a bit" about the changes paving would bring to her road, opinions vary among some of her neighbors.
Gail Hodge owns property on the road and lives on an unpaved road nearby.
Hodge, who raises green beans, watermelons, canteloupes, peanuts and cattle on the property she owns with her husband, agreed that dust is hard on vehicles and can be dangerous. But she said there is a downside to paving.
"The bad part is you have a lot more traffic, a lot faster traffic, you lose the large live oaks, the scenery," she said. "It's a pretty road and you would lose that."
Those concerns are among the most common expressed by those who live on dirt roads identified for paving projects, said Michael Fay, assistant director of transportation and development for Alachua County.
"A lot of graded roads are probably some of the most scenic roads in the county, and people invariably think that we're going to go in and take out all the trees," he said. "In some instances, depending on the type of roadway, that may be what we have to do."
But Fay, who said the county maintains about 250 miles of unpaved roads, added that officials are looking at ways to preserve trees and environmental features during paving projects.
Paving projects for dirt roads represent only a small part of the approximately five-page list compiled by the Transportation Coordinating Committee, which included representatives from the county and each of its nine municipalities. The list also includes plans for road resurfacing and reconstruction, traffic and pedestrian safety programs and a plan to link all of Gainesville's traffic signals.
With the exception of the city of Waldo - where the majority of roads are not paved - the committee decided to include dirt road-paving projects that primarily involved smaller neighborhood streets or unpaved portions of partially paved roads, said Hawthorne City Commissioner John Martin, who served as the committee's chairman.
Martin said the committee decided that larger-scale projects were outside the scope of how the tax money should be used. Municipal paving represents about 12 percent - or more than $14 million - of the more than $126 million in projects identified by the committee. Most of those paving projects are for stretches of road that are less than a mile long.
Costs of paving projects themselves vary, and although it generally costs less to maintain a paved road than it does to maintain a dirt-covered one, cost is the primary reason unpaved roads still exist, Fay said.
"It's not as simple as just going in and putting asphalt down," he said, adding that in many cases, the county does not own the land abutting an unpaved road and must purchase the right-of-way space from residents living along it.
Last year, the county paved a 1.5-mile stretch of NE 132nd Avenue for about $334,000. Fay said it cost about $3,300 per mile to maintain NE 132nd Avenue the year before it was paved, compared with about $1,700 a mile in 2002 to maintain a nearby paved road.
Unpaved roads present challenges for fire trucks and ambulances, said Capt. Beth Hardee of Alachua County Fire Rescue, which also oversees most ambulance service in the county. She said the roads are often narrow and that the dust can slow response times to emergencies. But she said the roads do have some advantages.
"There's less traffic to go around because they are often in a lot less-traveled areas and, in the event that we are looking for a residence, if we stop at one house and just say a name there's more of a familiarity in those kinds of areas," she said.
Since becoming city manager of High Springs in March, Jim Drumm has received more calls about maintenance for unpaved roads than any other issue.
"The interesting thing is that the people who have dirt roads want them paved because they feel that they are really rough," he said. "But the people who already have paved streets say they wish there was a way they could slow traffic down."
Drumm said the city used to allow developers to build along dirt roads, but now the developers would have to shoulder the cost of paving them. Fay said the county does not allow any new unpaved streets into its road system.
Like Witt in Newberry, the Rev. Jessie Hampton has been living on an unpaved road in High Springs for 43 years. Although his street is not included in the Transportation Coordinating Committee list, Hampton said he would like to see the road paved.
At a recent City Commission meeting, he said dust from the road collects on cars, houses and clothing - an occupational hazard for Hampton, pastor at Jones Temple Church of God by Faith in Newberry.
"When people go to church, they want their pastor to look presentable," he said.

Yesterday, P and I made the treats we will give out to her preschool class. If you are a preschool parent from P's class avert your eyes until a new post appears or the Halloween party has past.
P loves to have small tablets of paper with her when we are out. They are great for restaurants when we are waiting for food or any time when we need a quiet activity. So, we made small books to give out at the preschool Halloween party.
I wanted to make fancy fall covers for them and was inspired by this quilt, that Tia made. I love the way she quilted the veins on the leaves. I snitched her idea and did the same in felt for the book covers.
These books were pretty easy to make. We used the paper cutter to cut small rectangles of paper for the pages. After the covers were made we used the basting stitch on the sewing machine to sew the pages and cover together. Easy Peasy.

SARGODHA: The district administration and all departments concerned have been working hard to eliminate dengue larvae. Campaigns are also being arranged to raise awareness among the masses.
The focal person of the anti-dengue drive, Dr Tariq Hassan, said a total of 276 expected cases of dengue virus were reported during the last week. Out of the total reported cases, 17 patients were declared with positive dengue symptoms.
He said 145 dengue cases have been reported so far in 2019, while only three patients were under treatment in the dengue ward of the district headquarters (DHQ) teaching hospital.
A total of 334 indoor teams were working in the district and also inspected 59,739 homes. Dengue larva was reported from five places and 167 outdoor teams inspected 14,277 various sites and larva was found at 34 points.
The local administration has also served notices to 15 people for adopting poor arrangements at their premises, he added.
A total 308 seminars, 1,240 awareness sessions and 2,014 rallies were also organised to create awareness among the masses.
Around 31 complaints were received on the helpline which were resolved accordingly. The necessary medicines were also available at all district and tehsil hospitals, while independent dengue wards have also been set up to provide the best treatment among patients.
The deputy commissioner has also issued strict directions to eliminate dengue presence in the area. All departments concerned have joined hands in this regard and a daily report was being sent to the DC office.

The crypto services firm is connecting high-frequency traders who use electronic trading platforms to crypto exchanges.
It may encourage U.S. regulators to approve their first bitcoin exchange-traded fund.
The fund is structured similarly to the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, but aims to compete with lower fees.
The digital currencies could be distributed through PayPal’s digital wallets, the company’s CEO said.
The UK will be the first place PayPal has expanded crypto products to outside of the U.S.
The stock jumped by more than 13% after news that it would let its customers buy bitcoin through its ATMs.
Charlottesville’s Blue Ridge Bank is letting cardholders purchase and redeem bitcoin at 19 ATMs.
The fund charges a 1.75% management fee and offers custody from Fidelity Digital Asset Services.
The San Francisco-based firm did not say if it would choose a direct listing.
Analysts at the largest bank in Canada noted that after PayPal and Square’s crypto offerings, the market for tech firms creating crypto wallets has already been validated.

A guide for authors and readers of the American Society for Nutrition Journals on the proper use of P values and strategies that promote transparency and improve research reproducibility

AbstractTwo questions regarding the scientific literature have become grist for public discussion: 1) what place should P values have in reporting the results of studies? 2) How should the perceived difficulty in replicating the results reported in published studies be addressed? We consider these questions to be 2 sides of the same coin; failing to address them can lead to an incomplete or incorrect message being sent to the reader. If P values (which are derived from the estimate of the effect size and a measure of the precision of the estimate of the effect) are used improperly, for example reporting only significant findings, or reporting P values without account for multiple comparisons, or failing to indicate the number of tests performed, the scientific record can be biased. Moreover, if there is a lack of transparency in the conduct of a study and reporting of study results, it will not be possible to repeat a study in a manner that allows inferences from the original study to be reproduced or to design and conduct a different experiment whose aim is to confirm the original study's findings. The goal of this article is to discuss how P values can be used in a manner that is consistent with the scientific method, and to increase transparency and reproducibility in the conduct and analysis of nutrition research.

It’s 40 years, since ‘Star Wars’ first hit the silver screen, launching into our lives forever.
Now robots like R2-D2 are no longer just a sci-fi fantasy.
Lexy Haggard reports.
It was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away – well not that long ago.
Vox 1: “My first ever film on the big screen was Star Wars 1977 at the Regent cinema just down there it was awesome and it’s still awesome today.”
The movie has had a major impact on robotics development, inspiring many current Roboticists.
QUT Professor in Robotics Jonathan Roberts, has been a fan of the franchise all his life his first ever R2-D2 among the memorabilia in his office.
Prof Jonathan Roberts, QUT Robotics: “Well this Robot is actually a bit like the arms inside R2-D2, it’s a little bit bigger because it’s trying to reach a long way but the arms that are shown on R2-D2 that sort of come out and do all these things in the movies are actually very similar to this.”
Whether we will see the likes of C-3PO in the near future is less certain.
Prof Jonathan Roberts, QUT Robotics: “A lot of companies around the world have now got very good translation software. So the translation side is really coming along, but the humanoid robots are a hard thing to do.”
The Star Wars franchise has continued to entertain audiences of all ages through the decades.
Well, it’s been 40 years today since the first Star Wars movie’s release and fans can look forward to the next installment this December.
Princess Leia… Lexy Haggard, QUT News. And may the force be with you. To the falcon Chewie.

[Homeroast] First roasts in the QM3
rlb at triad.rr.com
Mon Jan 31 16:24:23 CST 2011
Frank.....Our ambient temps were close. This was my second roast but the first one took around 15 - 20 minutes for it to heat up roast temp of 392F. Also, the drum on my roaster was double insulated. When you stated it took several minutes for your to pre heat to 200C I become concerned about the 15-20 minutes that it took mine to reach this temp.
I did record the temps in 30 second increments and the second roast was much better at 8.5 amps vs 7.5 for the first one. Never got to second crack. I used the trier and the color and the skin was where I like it.
What temperature are you seeing second crack please?
I have two thermocouples installed and ready to hook up the Omega to Artisan but I am with you on getting the M3 learning curve behind me before adding anymore variables.
Today, they don't waste time with the kisses!!!!

>> I did two roasts. The first one was much too long at around 18minutes. I started off with the amps at 7.5 and the fan at 4 and once the beans were dropped in at 392F I didn't realize there was enough power to take it tofirst crack fast enough. The second roast was 14.5 minutes with a power setting of 8.5 and fan speed of 4-5. Much better. Still a learning curve but I definitely learned something today with the Quest compared to the Hottop. I am impressed with it's quietness and the containment of chaff. The ambient temperature was 58F today in the garage.

May 4, 2017 - Today, Oklahoma State Medical Association (OSMA) President Kevin Taubman, MD, expressed concern that H.R. 1628, the American Health Care Act (AHCA) passed by the U.S. House, could cause serious harm to Oklahoma patients and the healthcare delivery system. He said many physicians worry that millions of Americans could lose their health coverage as a result of this proposal.
“Many Oklahomans risk loss of access to quality, affordable health coverage. Those with pre-existing health conditions could be charged premiums that make access to coverage out of the question for them,” said Taubman. He noted that action is also needed to improve the current healthcare insurance system. “OSMA urges the Oklahoma Congressional delegation to work with state physicians, patients, hospitals and other care providers to craft solutions. All Oklahomans deserve access to affordable and effective coverage, including a safety net for vulnerable patient populations.”
He also said OSMA adopted a statement of principles at its recent annual meeting urging Congress to meet the following goals:
- Allow patients a broad choice of physicians, plans and coverage through Health Savings Accounts, private insurers, government programs, and Medicare private contracting, enhance programs to ensure insurance portability;
- Stabilize and strengthen individual insurance market;
- Provide access to affordable prescription drugs;
- Ensure that Medicaid, CHIP and other safety net programs are maintained and adequately funded;
- Reduce regulatory burdens that detract from patient care and increase cost,
- Provide greater transparency throughout the healthcare system,
- Incorporate common sense liability reforms;
- Continue the advancement of delivery reforms in new physician-led payment models to achieve better outcomes, higher quality and lower spending trends, such as Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative; and
- Repeal of the independent payment advisory board.
As attention now turns to healthcare reform efforts in the Senate, Taubman said the 4,000 physicians and medical students represented by the OSMA statewide, urge Senators to support affordable and accessible healthcare for all Americans.

Many things matter about a neighborhood, but the first thing most people notice
is the way a neighborhood looks and its particular character. For example, one
might notice whether the buildings all date from a certain time period or whether
shop signs are in multiple languages. This particular neighborhood in Chicago,
the N State St / E Ontario St neighborhood, has some outstanding things about the way it
looks and its way of life that are worth highlighting.
Notable & Unique: People
The rate of college educated adults in the N State St / E Ontario St neighborhood
is a unique characteristic of the neighborhood. 86.8% of
adults here have received at least a 4-year bachelor's degree, compared to
the average neighborhood in America, which has 22.6% of the adults with a
bachelor's degree. The rate here is higher than NeighborhoodScout found in
99.7% of all U.S. neighborhoods.
In addition, one of the most interesting things about the N State St / E Ontario St
neighborhood is that it has a greater concentration of residents who live
alone than most all neighborhoods in America. With 58.8% of the
households here made up of people living alone, NeighborhoodScout's research
reveals that this is a larger proportion of people living alone than in
99.1% of the neighborhoods in America.
Notable & Unique: Modes of Transportation
In the N State St / E Ontario St neighborhood, walking to work is a real
option for many. In fact, NeighborhoodScout's exclusive research reveals
walking to and from work is the chosen way to commute for 42.8%
of residents here. This is a higher proportion of walking commuters than
we found in 99.4% of American neighborhoods. Get ready
to put on your walking shoes if you move here!
Also, a unique way of commuting is simply not to. And in the N State St / E Ontario St
neighborhood, analysis shows that 13.3% of the residents work
from home, avoiding a commute altogether. This may not seem like a large number,
but it is a higher proportion of people working from home than is found in
97.4% of the neighborhoods in the United States.
One thing NeighborhoodScout's research reveals is that the wealthier and/or
more isolated the neighborhood, the greater the proportion of residents who
choose to work from home.
Notable & Unique: Diversity
Did you know that the N State St / E Ontario St neighborhood has more
Croatian and Slovak ancestry people living in it than nearly
any neighborhood in America? It's true! In fact, 1.8% of
this neighborhood's residents have Croatian ancestry and 3.0% have Slovak ancestry.
N State St / E Ontario St is also pretty special linguistically. Significantly, 5.7% of its residents five years old and above primarily
speak Hindi, which is the official language of India at home. While this may seem like a small percentage, it is higher
than 99.6% of the neighborhoods in America.
Notable & Unique: Occupations
Executives, managers and professionals make up 69.9% of the workforce
in the N State St / E Ontario St neighborhood which, according to
NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis, is a higher proportion of such
high-level people than is found in 98.0% of the neighborhoods
in America. For this reason, this neighborhood really stands out as unique.
Notable & Unique: Real Estate
The N State St / E Ontario St neighborhood is very densely populated compared to most U.S. neighborhoods. In fact, with 38,389 persons per square mile in the neighborhood, it is more packed with people than 97.9% of the nation's neighborhoods.
In addition, the real estate in the N State St / E Ontario St neighborhood really stands out in the way it looks for a unique reason: this neighborhood has a higher proportion of apartment complexes or high-rise apartments than nearly every neighborhood in the country. Most neighborhoods are a mixture of real estate and housing types, but here it is almost entirely dominated by big apartment buildings and complexes. In fact, 99.3% of the real estate here is classified as apartment complexes or high-rise apartments, which is more than is found in 99.9% of American neighborhoods.
Furthermore, the N State St / E Ontario St neighborhood is very unique in that it has one of the highest proportions of one, two, or no bedroom real estate of any neighborhood in America. Most neighborhoods have a mixture of home or apartment sizes from small to large, but here the concentration of studios and other small living spaces is at near-record heights. With 86.1% of the real estate here of this small size, this most assuredly is a notable feature that makes this neighborhood unique, along with just a handful of other neighborhoods in the U.S. that share this characteristic.
Notable & Unique: Car Ownership
American households most often have a car, and regularly they have two or
three. But households in the N State St / E Ontario St neighborhood buck
33.9% of the households in this neighborhood don't own a car at
all. This is more carless households than NeighborhoodScout found in
97.3% of U.S. neighborhoods.

A little background about the man…
Mike Younger is a performer of high caliber and depth. His music ranges in genre from blues, country, folk, rhythm & blues, rock & roll, soul and gospel. Having started out as a street singer in Canada, his transformation into recording artist is filled with raucous tales of hard travels and determination. A writer of inspiring ballads and soulful verses, he presents his original works and interpretations in a unique style of his own.
Mike left his hometown Halifax Nova Scotia to see the world at the age of 17, earning his way primarily by playing his guitar and singing on street corners, in parks and subway platforms. By freight and by thumb he travelled Canada for several years, performing mostly in Vancouver and Toronto. Blues, traditional Country and early Rocknroll caught his ear and at 20 he travelled to New York City to search for the remnants of the thriving scene that it once nurtured. Survival in the streets was a great challenge but Mike persevered by staying close to the music.
Years later, while performing live on WWOZ New Orleans on John Sinclair’s radio show, Mike caught his first break when a music publisher heard the broadcast and contacted the station to inquire about the music he had just heard. Soon after that, Mike began travelling to Nashville to record and perform and from there his recordings reached the ear of Rodney Crowell, and when Mike signed with his first record company, Rodney stepped in as producer and they released 1999’s “Somethin In The Air”.
In 2001 Mike travelled to Memphis to record his second album, this time with Jim Dickinson as producer. Dickinson enlisted Levon Helm, Spooner Oldham, David Hood and his son Luther Dickinson to back Mike on that project but the record label collapsed while the record was being finalized. The tapes fell into a legal limbo, lost for over 15 years. Now that the tapes have been recovered they will be completed and released at some future date.
After dissolving his partnership with the label, Mike went on to independenly release “Every Stone You Throw” in 2004 with his band from New York City, featuring the late Louis Appel(South Side Johnny)on drums, Bob Packwood(Blue Rodeo) on keys and Skip Ward(Cyndi Lauper) on bass.
Returning to Nashville in 2006 he began assembling the band that would become “Mike Younger & The Marksmen”, performing locally and writing the songs for his 2009 release “Hustled By Squares”.
Having recently completed a new recording project with a cast of Nashville’s best and produced by the acclaimed guitarist/producer Bob Britt, Mike is building touring opportunities to bring his new work to your area so stay tuned. Please feel free to contact our team via the contact page to book him or to suggest clubs/theaters/festivals in your area where you’d like to catch his show.
In the past Mike has had the honor of working, collaborating and travelling with some of the best in the business including Levon Helm, Spooner Oldham, David Hood, Rodney Crowell, Jim Dickinson, Luther Dickinson, Nanci Griffith, BR549, Mike Farris, John Hammond Jr, Bob & Etta Britt, Asleep At The Wheel and many others.

Dr. Karen B Hollaman
History & Education
Dr. Karen B Hollaman grew up in Northern New Jersey with her parents and two sisters. She lived an active lifestyle balancing school with sports, music, and church activities until her sophomore year of high school when her health plummeted due to a track injury. After four years of perplexed medical professionals and being told she was a “medical mystery,” Dr. Hollaman was introduced to chiropractic and quickly learned that her body responded positively to the care. The severe abdominal pain, weight loss, and exhaustion that had caused Dr. Hollaman to fall to the floor in pain, sleep over eighteen hours a day, miss much of her junior and senior year of high school, as well as drop out of college was finally responding.
It was due to the insights of her chiropractor, who used Applied Kinesiology, that Dr. Hollaman regained her health and was able to graduate from college with highest honors and move to Alaska to experience life, work in chiropractic offices, and complete the science requirements necessary for chiropractic college. She then moved to Florida to become a massage therapist and earn her doctorate at Palmer College of Chiropractic, Florida. During her schooling, Dr. Hollaman was president of the nutrition club, class representative, and attended many seminars including the 100 hour certification program in Applied Kinesiology. She also had the opportunity to travel to Madagascar with the clinic abroad program at Palmer. In December 2008, Dr. Hollaman attained her degree as well as her dream of practicing chiropractic medicine.
After being in tremendous pain for years and finally knowing what it felt like to be healthy, Dr. Hollaman wants to prevent and help others through their own health struggles. Dr. Hollaman has helped numerous people with a myriad of health conditions. As a massage therapist and chiropractor, Dr. Hollaman brings a gentle touch and understanding heart to help empower and motivate the healing process. She appreciates, empathizes and sympathizes with the patients’ perspective and treats others, as she desires to be treated. Her goal is to educate and inspire her patient’s health potential in a positive and supportive environment. Dr. Hollaman enjoys working with adults as well as children.

Before I begin, I want to say one thing. If you haven’t seen the original film, first look at it. Not the theater-namely Director’s cut version. Let’s begin.
Denis Villeneuve is a great, it did it again. I’ve seen almost all the films of Dennis, and noticed that this man just cannot make a bad movie. He makes films that make you think and debate, and at the same time, wrap it in stunning picture, not forgetting the great stories and great acting. He is one of the best Directors working in the industry today.
I really like his movies, and I think he’s a brilliant Director, but I felt that the time will come and he’ll shoot the film, which will finally raise it up. And apparently that time has come. This film, perhaps a future classic in the genre of science fiction. Perhaps this film even surpasses the original, so the visual component, at least, for sure.
Insane utopian future Scott, so beautifully crafted, even prettier in 2049 Villeneuve, for which much attention should be paid to the brilliant operator Roger Dikins, who made one of his best works. Every frame is brilliant and I can’t imagine that he wouldn’t be nominated for an Oscar for this phenomenal work. But it’s also worth noting the whole team for working with the special effects, because Dikins did it all yourself.
Also worth noting is the music and sound. Denis Villeneuve, who repeatedly and successfully collaborated with the composer Johann Johansson, decided to replace it for the sake of “blocks musical accompaniment” by Hans Zimmer. And since we are already accustomed to the German composer, not difficult to understand that all music is a kind of sublime and a great homage to the original. Camerowska music in the film keeps us on the edges of our seats, especially in the last hour.
What about “cast”? Well what can I say? All the actors are written perfectly. For example, the real Harrison Ford “Traveling in retirement”, which shook my life, and accompanying Ryan Gosling who plays her focused and not especially emotional and talkative character. This applies to all other actors.
Everything in this movie just feels right and well organized. A slow growth pattern and the timing almost 3 hours will make it boring to many who come to the cinema, but this film is like a painting, every brush stroke has meaning, and every little detail is carefully processed, it requires monumental skills to understand this film.
After this film, Villeneuve will get even more credibility, as it should be. Unlike most Hollywood blockbusters these days, it not just presents us a spectacle with good effects or reboot of the original, but picks up themes that were revealed by Ridley Scott that was a monumental task for the original “blade Runner”. 2049 continues with the same themes raised by the original, making 35-year wait for the sequel fully justified, he goes on with what was proposed in the first part, complementing it. It is possible that one day may be made a third film, but only if any Director will ever find the courage to make another quality of “blade Runner” because the bar is set incredibly high. I believe that over time, “blade Runner 2049” will be as iconic as the original, and it will be rightfully fair.

Osteoarthritis and bursitis are two musculoskeletal conditions that can afflict the hips. Hip osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition affecting the joints of the hips, while hip bursitis is an inflammation of the bursa at the lateral point of the greater trochanter (the bony point on the side of the body that we normally associate with the hip). Treatment for osteoarthritis of the hip and treatment for bursitis of hip should be undertaken with the assistance of a trained health professional.
The hip is a ball-and-socket joint, a joint in which the rounded surface of one bone is inserted into the hole of another. This structure is what gives the pelvis so much of its stability, because the femoral head (the uppermost part of the femur, or thigh bone) is held in place by the pelvic acetabulum, a large rounded depression. However, the hip also maintains a surprising amount of flexibility in the frontal (abduction / adduction), sagittal (flexion), and transverse (rotation) planes of motion.
The acetabulum is a convergence of the ilium, ischium, and pubis bones of the pelvis. Where the acetabulum meets the head of the femur, the joint of the hip emerges. Collectively, these bones comprise what is commonly known as “the hip bone.” The articular surface of the cartilage in the acetabulum possesses a thick rim along its edges that deepens the depression and lends support without sacrificing flexibility. This cartilage also allows the tissues to rub against one another without causing injury.
Also assisting in the lessening of friction are small sacs called bursae that are found throughout the body wherever joints are located. The bursae of the shoulders, hips, knees, and elbows contain a special lubricating fluid that moisturizes the joint area and cushions bones and soft tissues. In the hips there are two prominent bursae: the trochanteric bursa on the bony point of the hip, and the iliopsoas bursa on the inside (groin side) of the hip. (If the iliopsoas bursa becomes inflamed, the patient will experience pain in the groin area). Other bursae include the gluteus medius bursa, a smaller bursa lying in between the gluteus medius muscle and the greater trochanter, and the ischial bursa that lies between the base of the pelvis and the hamstring tendons.
The most common cause of musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis is a progressive disease that affects over 15 percent of the world’s population. Characterized by pain in the joints, hip osteoarthritis results from degeneration of the articular cartilage in the hips. This, in turn, causes a thickening of the bone beneath the cartilage, the formation of bony outgrowths known as osteophytes, and synovial inflammation.
The primary initiating causes of osteoarthritis are not well understood, but what is clear is that some people are at greater risk for developing hip osteoarthritis than others. Risk factors for osteoarthritis of the hip include joint misalignment, trauma, old age, obesity, continual lifting or moving of heavy objects, and sports that place tremendous pressure on the lower half of the body (for example, professional running).
Bursitis is a condition in which the bursae become swollen and inflamed. Hip bursitis commonly afflicts the ischial, iliopsoas, and greater trochanteric bursae. Generally these bursae are injured either as a result of inflammation due to excessive friction or post-traumatic injury. Direct blows can cause bleeding into the bursae, resulting in the formation of hematoma.
The iliopsoas bursa is the largest bursa in the body. Athletes engaged in sports that require constant and repetitive use of the hip flexors, such as soccer and ballet, are especially prone to iliopsoas bursitis.
Athletes may experience severe groin pain that radiates to the front of the hip or thigh, necessitating groin pain treatment. The pain may become so great that it disrupts the patient’s gait, rendering walking difficult and causing a limp. Motion is sometimes accompanied by a loud snapping sound.
For those suffering from greater trochanteric bursitis, pain is usually felt posterior to the greater trochanter. Additionally, it will often radiate into the lateral buttock. Risk factors for developing greater trochanteric bursitis include a broad pelvis, leg-length discrepancy, and excessive pronation (inward turning) of the foot. Symptoms may include pain when running, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods. Pain may be exacerbated by rotation, adduction, and abduction of the hip.
Ischial bursitis may occur as a result of a direct blow to the ischial tuberosity or as a complication from an adjacent hamstring injury. Athletes with ischial bursitis will feel pain while sitting and tenderness during physical examination.
Physicians rely on both clinical and radiographic findings to diagnose osteoarthritis accurately. Imaging techniques that reveal evidence of joint degeneration are more effective in diagnosis than clinical criteria by itself. Historically, osteoarthritis has been diagnosed using radiographic evidence of cysts and osteophytes, although more recently the primary determining factor has been joint space width, which is a reliable predictor of the thickness of cartilage. Studies have found that joint space width that is less than or equal to two millimeters was closely associated with hip pain in over 3,000 elderly patients. Another recent study has indicated that cartilage space narrowing is the most reliable indicator of hip osteoarthritis.
Prior to prescribing hip osteoarthritis treatment, a physician will inquire about the patient’s physical symptoms. Generalized hip pain and pain in the thigh or groin may indicate osteoarthritis. So also may impaired gait, decreased range of motion, and pain during leg rotation. In the earliest stages of the condition patients may experience pain only intermittently and when the joints are in use; however, as it progresses they will feel pain and stiffness even when at rest. In the most advanced stages some victims will develop crepitus, a continual creaking that may require snapping hip treatment.
The main goal of hip and groin pain treatment is to reduce pain and impairment, improving mobility and preventing the need for surgical treatment. The best treatment for osteoarthritis of the hip combines both pharmocologic and non-pharmocologic modalities.
Non-pharmocologic treatments include exercise, physical therapy, and weight reduction for the overweight or obese. A consistent regimen of strengthening and aerobic exercises has been shown to reduce pain and improve function in patients suffering from hip osteoarthritis. Recent studies have indicated that the improvement in muscle strength gained from an exercise program may slow the progression of osteoarthritis. In particular, hydrotherapy (water-based physical therapy) and strength training have all proven demonstrably effective in treating patients with hip problems. Both high-intensity and low-intensity aerobic exercise are equally beneficial to gait and functional status. For best results, patients should begin with a low-intensity exercise program and gradually progress to one with a higher intensity.
Assistive devices are also recommended for patients for patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. These may include canes to improve balance when walking and insoles that limit the advance of disease by reducing the pressures exerted on the hip joint.
Pharmologic hip and groin pain treatments include acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), and analgesics. When tested against placebos, acetaminophen has been shown to significantly reduce pain and improve function in patients. NSAIDs may be substituted in the lowest possible doses for patients who don’t respond well to acetaminophen. Several trials have shown that NSAIDs effectively relieve pain in the knees and hips. However, they are sometimes accompanied by unfortunate gastrointestinal side effects.
In the majority of cases, bursitis of the hip can be treated with conventional, non-surgical treatments. NSAIDs will help to control local inflammation in patients with greater trochanteric and ischial bursitis. Ice massages, heat, physical therapy, and steroid injections have also proven effective.
The New York DNR provides some of the best treatment for hip bursitis and hip osteoarthritis in New York City. We use various forms of manual therapy in combination with our advance technology to restore joint articulation, soft tissue gliding as well as to improve strength, motor control and balance. We also use extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), a focus low energy shockwave treatment that uses pressure waves to get blood circulating and trigger the body’s own reparative mechanisms.

The ban came in an appeal decision released yesterday by the Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing Authority (Arla).
The decision, on a police appeal against conditions of a licence set by the District Licensing Agency, excludes carparks and "holding" areas from those licensed for sales, thereby confining sales to the concert arena.
Promoters of the February 23 concert had previously been permitted by the agency to sell liquor from 1pm in waiting areas, off the road and on private land outside the arena.
As an option, the Arla will allow sales to start from 1pm in the arena if the promoters wish, but Mission Estate chief executive Peter Holley said plans were to stick with a 3pm opening for the gates and the liquor booths within. Searches planned at entrances to the holding areas will, however, now be concentrated with ticketing at the entrances to the arena.
Police alcohol-harm prevention manager Senior Sergeant Fred van Duuren emphasised a liquor ban would remain in force in streets around the concert, which will feature Barry Gibb and Carole King.
Judge John Hole says in the decision the authority agrees with police that to include the carpark and holding areas in the special licence as "possible liquor abuse ramifications".
"Supplying alcohol in these circumstances, especially in unshaded areas possibly subject to a blazing Hawke's Bay sun, could cause tempers to fray and disorder to erupt," he said.
That would be less likely to occur inside the arena, he said.
Meanwhile, concertgoers have been put on notice that alcohol problems could lead to closure of the booths, rather than a reduction of serving limits.
Judge Hole said the "applicant" had said that if police required maximum serve limits to be reduced from four to two, liquor booths would be closed in an "orderly way," because as a "good employer" it would not put staff at risk of abuse from patrons.

Are there any M versions of i cars in the pipeline? No, according to Cypselus von Frakenberg, BMW Group head of technology communications. Speaking at the Frankfurt IAA show, Mr. Frankenberg says that not only was there zero input from M engineers in the development of the i8, but there will be no M version in the future. In his words:
“It is separate – M and i,” he begins. “It’s two different sub-brands, but there will be no ‘M’ i-car in the future.

A rumor comes from French magazine L’Automobile claiming that a BMW i4 Concept will be shown at the Los Angeles auto show in late November.
Details are scant so far, but resident BMW insider Scott26 previously alluded to both an i4 and i5 last year. The BMW i4 is said to be based off the i3 but will be a two seater i8-like sports car. If true, the i4 would surely utilize the same carbon fiber construction and hybrid drivetrain as the i3.
The i3 will be … CONTINUED
The BMW i3 and i8 concepts have been revealed online, but BMW i is not done. According to Scott26, the BMW i4 and BMW i5 are the next models to come out from BMW i.
The BMW i4 will be based on i3 technology, but fit into a small two seater sports car (think smaller and more affordable i8). The BMW i5 will be a mid-sized four door coupe/sedan, using the power train from the BMW i8. Concept versions will come sometime … CONTINUED
New trademarks registered by BMW gives some insight into new model lineups that will eventually be added to BMW’s offerings. The new names include: i1, i2, i3, i4, i5, i6, i7, i8, i9, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7, E8, E9, M50d, Urbanic, Gran Coupe, Compactive, and Compactive Tourer.
The “i” lineup of cars could very well be used to designate the sub-compact electric megacity vehicle we’ve been hearing about for a while. The “E” lineup of cars could possibly be used to designate electric versions … CONTINUED


Lake Havasu City’s Year in Review
Today is the last day of 2018. The end of the year is a natural time for reflection, and 2018 gave us a lot to think about. Politics loomed large at all levels of government, through two elections. Teachers and the state of education in Arizona took center stage during election season, but Arizona’s two Senate seats also got a lot of attention with the death of John McCain and the retirement of Jeff Flake. Locally, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the London Bridge’s arrival in Lake Havasu City. Lake Havasu High School got a big beautiful new football field amid a flurry of infrastructure changes in our schools. Those are just a few of the stories that captured our attention this year.
Today’s News-Herald newsroom staff agreed that the stories presented here — in no particular order — represent some of the most important, or at least some of the most interesting, events that occurred in Lake Havasu City in 2018. The list is by no means supposed to be objective, nor is it all inclusive. Chances are, you have a different idea about what the top stories of the year were. If that’s the case, we hope you’ll share your list with us. Go to HavasuNews.com and click on the “year in review” link to leave a comment.
In the meantime, thanks for a wonderful year, and have a happy — and safe— 2019.
1. Elections and Politics: With big elections in August and November, it was hard to escape politics this year. Sen. Jeff Flake’s announcement last fall that he wouldn’t run for re-election created something of a political circus as Lake Havasu City physician Kelli Ward, former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Tucson Congresswoman Martha McSally battled in a sometimes-nasty race for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. McSally ultimately won the race in August, going on to face Kyrsten Sinema in November’s general election. Sinema won that race in a close count to become Arizona’s first elected female senator. Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain’s death marked the end of an era for the state. His loss in the Senate, right in the middle of the high-profile election to replace his counterpart, kept political watchers guessing about what might happen next. They didn’t have to wait long: Gov. Doug Ducey appointed former Sen. Jon Kyl to fill McCain’s seat until the end of the year, and with the election in the rear-view mirror in December, Ducey appointed McSally to fill McCain’s seat until the end of his term in 2020. In state races, Lake Havasu City and Mohave County saw a contentious race for state representative, with Leo Biassiucci, Jennifer Jones, Paul Mosley and Regina Cobb running to fill two seats in the state House. Cobb ultimately held on to her seat, and voters chose Havasu resident Biassiucci to replace Mosley. State Sen. Sonny Borrelli easily won his seat back against a challenge by Democrat J’aime Morgaine.
2. 50 years of the London Bridge: This year marked 50 years since Robert McCulloch’s big idea that put Lake Havasu City on the world’s radar. McCulloch’s purchase of the London Bridge in the late 1960s got plenty of attention and helped kick-start Havasu’s reputation as a tourism town. The bridge was dismantled from its former home over the Thames in 1968 and moved, brick by brick, to its new home in Lake Havasu City. The foundation stone was laid alongside the Colorado River in 1968. This year, Havasu celebrated the milestone in a big way, inviting the Lord Mayor of London to participate in a ceremony under the bridge, complete with a traditional sheep-crossing ceremony attended by Gov. Doug Ducey and other state politicians.
3. Water fights: Mohave County found itself locking horns with a small irrigation district in Mohave Valley over water rights that were being considered for sale to the Central Arizona Project. The county ended up buying land within the district and threatening legal action to prevent the water sale.
4. State Parks: Construction of state parks around Lake Havasu continued, most notably the continued development of the Havasu Riviera, which includes a new boat ramp. However, it was later revealed that some of the work at Lake Havasu State Park could have destroyed some archaeological sites. That controversy eventually led to the firing of Arizona State Parks Director Sue Black.
5. New football field for LHHS: It might have cost a lot more than planned, but Lake Havasu High School football fans were happy to celebrate home games in a brand new stadium at Lee Barnes Field this fall. The $8 million project included a FieldTurf field, new bleachers, lighting and concession stands.
6. New Mayor: Lake Havasu City Mayor Mark Nexsen decided to retire after three terms in office, setting the stage for his successor, Cal Sheehy, who was elected in the August primary elections. Sheehy, 38, is a graduate of Lake Havasu High School and works as general manager at London Bridge Resort.
7.F-16 makes a crash landing: In April, an Air Force F-16 jet diverted from its training exercise to make an emergency landing in Havasu. During the landing, the jet ran off the runway and through the airport’s north fence, while the pilot safely ejected. The $25 million F-16C aircraft was assigned to the 56th Fighter Wing. The plane’s nose cone became detached during the crash, as did the front portion of the canopy.
8. Deadly crash at Desert Storm: Tragedy hit this year’s Desert Storm poker run after three people, all Lake Havasu City residents, were killed in a boat crash after the official races were over. Brad Kloepfer, 57, his wife Connie Davis Kloepfer, 58, and Paul Selberg, were killed when their boat, The Lickity Split, a DCB M35 Widebody 35-foot catamaran, crashed on the water.
9. Mosley makes headlines: Lake Havasu City State Rep. Paul Mosley got worldwide attention when a video was made public of a traffic stop in which he bragged to the La Paz County Sheriff’s Deputy who pulled him over that he regularly drives up to 140 miles per hour on State Route 95. The deputy reportedly clocked Mosley driving 97 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone near Parker, but the state legislator wasn’t cited after he claimed “legislative immunity,” a perk of office that allows legislators to postpone certain legal proceedings. After much criticism, Gov. Doug Ducey signed an executive order making it clear law enforcement officers can cite lawmakers and other elected officials when they break traffic laws. Mosley later lost his bid for re-election and he’s still awaiting trial for the citation.
10. Havasu gets an Oscar nod: In February, Lake Havasu City’s Days Inn received hundreds of phone calls after comedian Jimmy Kimmel offered Oscar nominees the chance to win an all-expense paid stay at the hotel…if they could keep their acceptance speeches short.
Kimmel hosted the 90th Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday evening, when he offered the nominee who gave the shortest acceptance speech a free Kawasaki Jet Ski, as well as a two-day, three-night stay at Havasu’s Days Inn. The winner of Kimmel’s “competition” was costume designer Mark Bridges, who won his second Academy Award for his work on 2017 film, “Phantom Thread.”

STOP Welcomes New Lawsuit in the U.S. That Seeks Long-Overdue Ban on Menthol-Flavored Cigarettes, Used by Tobacco Companies To Addict Youth and Black Americans
(New York, June 17, 2020) – STOP, a global tobacco industry watchdog, issued the following statement applauding the lawsuit filed in the United States by the African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council (AATCLC) and Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) against the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to compel regulatory action against menthol-flavored cigarettes.
“The lawsuit filed today is an action born out of inaction. The results have been catastrophic for America’s youth and Black Americans. The FDA’s failure to remove menthol-flavored cigarettes harms all Americans, but research shows that menthol products are used disproportionately by young and Black Americans, contributing to health inequalities. Their use must be addressed immediately.
More than 45,000 Black Americans die from tobacco-related diseases every year and more than three quarters of Black adults who smoke mostly use menthol cigarettes. According to the FDA’s Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee, the deaths of 4,700 Black Americans could have been avoided by 2020 if menthols had been removed from the U.S. market 10 years ago. By 2050, over 66,000 tobacco-related deaths among this community could have been avoided.
It is unclear as to why The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which became law in 2009, banned all cigarette flavors except for menthol. The banned flavors accounted for less than 1% of the U.S. cigarette market while menthol-flavored cigarettes made up 28% of this market. The FDA’s committee concluded that “removal of menthol cigarettes from the marketplace would benefit public health in the United States.” Yet for more than a decade, no action has been taken.
Today, in addition to the majority of Black American adult smokers, more than half of American teenage smokers age 17 and younger use menthol cigarettes. Research has shown that tobacco companies manipulated menthol content to initiate new smokers and keep current smokers using their products. Research also reveals that the tobacco industry strategically marketed menthol products to Black Americans.
Tobacco companies have worked hard to derail or delay menthols bans in Brazil, Chile, Canada and the recently enacted legislation in the European Union. Their quest to keep menthols on the U.S. market has been largely successful, in part, due to the FDA’s inaction. Other factors include the tobacco industry’s history of donating funds to organizations serving Black people, with claims they are allies of Black causes and champions of social justice. This deception occurs while targeting Black Americans with these addictive and deadly products. Even now, tobacco industry allies are using the spotlight on race and health inequities in the U.S. as an argument to not ban a product that harms so many Black Americans.
The menthol flavor is another chapter in the tobacco industry’s history of using underhanded tactics to recruit customers to a deadly product and evade regulation that protects health. The industry continues to sell, market and challenge regulations on menthols despite the science showing how menthol helps people start smoking and stay addicted. The only thing the tobacco industry cares about is profit. The AATCLC-ASH lawsuit is a welcome step forward in our efforts to eliminate an addictive pathway paved by the tobacco industry in the U.S. and beyond.”

Amazing Grace, is seventeen-year-old Grace Bradley, nickname, often used by her Dad. Grace, has three brothers, all with super hero nicknames, plus a Mum who “owned the power” in the household.
Grace is in her last year of high school and starting to express her own opinions and find her way in the world. She is questioning her world view, faith, sexuality, and when an ambiguous photo of Grace is posted on a social media site, she even questions her friendships.
Much of the book discusses the turmoil of Grace’s emotions and while this was thought provoking, I found myself relating more to her mother, Pamela. I found her journey through the book insightful and ultimately more satisfying than her daughter’s.
The impact of social media is a major theme in the book and Elaine Fraser does a great job of describing the adverse effects it can cause. Grace was fortunate enough to be in a school that took cyber bullying seriously. However, as portrayed in the book, finding the perpetrators of this type of bullying can be exceedingly difficult.
The book finishes with Grace in a good emotional state, but given the subtle clues, I felt the book ended with a lack of hope. Her future seems hazardous to me because she is pursuing answers outside of a Christian context. I found this disconcerting in a Christian fiction book.
Overall, though this was an interesting and well written book, albeit with an uncertain conclusion.

Partial root-zone drying technique in fruit crops: A review paper
Author(s): Mutteppa Gotur, DK Sharma, CJ Joshi and Rajni Rajan
Abstract: Now a day resources of fresh water are going to be an ever-increasing pressure because of extensive agricultural water demand for fruit crop cultivation. Long-term perspectives in shortage of available water resources, especially in arid and semi-arid area, urgent need solution for innovative irrigation technique and agricultural water management. In this review article the applications of the partial root-zone drying irrigation (PRD) on important fruit crop species. The partial root-zone drying technique is a novel irrigation technique of deficit irrigation in which half of the root-zone is irrigated alternatively in scheduled irrigation events. In the recent years, scientists were conducted research across the world, especially from arid to semi-arid countries, have extensively evaluated this irrigation as (50-75 %) water-saving irrigation technique on fruit crops. This review paper focuses mainly on the production quantity and quality of fruit aspects of partial root-zone drying on plants and its ultimate impact on yield and water productivity. Under limited water resources where water is precious PRD is viable irrigation option to increase water use efficiency while margining the yield, rather than only increasing the economic yield without concerning the value of water in limited water environments.

Frankie Ballard’s new single from his El Rio album is a cover of Bob Seger’s 1980 hit “You’ll Accomp’ny Me.”
Growing up in Michigan, the “Young & Crazy” hitmaker couldn’t help but be exposed to the music of one of the state’s favorite sons.
“He’s such a big deal and played on almost every radio station in Michigan, you know,” the Kalamazoo native says.
Frankie, who’s also had the chance to go on tour with the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, sees this as his chance to honor his hero.
“I think, first and foremost, it’s a tribute to how much he’s given me musically, you know,” Frankie says, “and how much I’ve taken from being a fan of his and what he did as a singer and a songwriter and a performer.”
If “You’ll Accomp’ny Me” happens to be a song you’ve never heard, although it reached #14 on the pop chart in 1980, that’s right in keeping with Frankie’s plan.
“I just have always loved that song so deeply in like a secret way,” Frankie reveals. “Because it’s kind of an obscure hit, you know. I wanted to turn on a lot of younger people who maybe have never heard any of Bob Seger’s stuff to some of the cool songs that he wrote. So it was a win-win!”

FIFA-funded High-Performance programme enlivens Guyana’s U-17 World Cup ambitions
With the intention of qualifying for a FIFA Under-17 World Cup, which from 2025 will be held every year, the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), through FIFA, is investing in the development of its male Under-15 and Under-16 players.
Technical Director Bryan Joseph on Friday announced that the Federation has been approved as a beneficiary of the FIFA Talent Development Scheme (TDS), a High-Performance programme aimed at fostering the growth and development of top talents in countries that benefit.
According to FIFA, TDS aims to create a sustainable legacy for long-term talent development by maximising each participating Member Associations’ opportunities, as identified in their individual ecosystem analysis report.
FIFA’s commitment to the programme is vindicated by the US$200 million fund that it has provided for the scheme.
“It is to give talents in Guyana every chance at success,” Technical Director of the GFF Bryan Joseph said on Friday.
Joseph was at the time speaking at a press conference alongside Racing Madrid Football Club President Steve Nijjar and former Real Madrid Football Club mid-fielder now UEFA Pro Licence coach Rubén de la Red.
The briefing took place at the GFF headquarters in Campbellville, Georgetown.
In October 2023, GFF and Racing Madrid FC signed a Memorandum of Understanding.
Joseph explained that the GFF is beginning to reap the rewards as the Spanish club has facilitated hiring the UEFA Pro Licence coach, who meets the FIFA requirements for the job.
The Spanish coach will focus on the technical work of players selected in the programme, with a general pool of 40 players but a focus group of 24.
The programme has commenced with players mainly from Georgetown, East Coast Demerara and West Demerara, who train at least three times per week, while on weekends, players from Linden, Bartica and Berbice take the limelight.
“We don’t have expertise in high-performance coach, and FIFA has afforded us that opportunity. From 2025, there will be the U-17 World Cup, and it means every year Guyana will have a chance to qualify for the U-17 World Cup, and this programme is the next step to our Academy Training Centre,” the Technical Director expressed.
While the Academy is focused on top players within Associations, this programme is solely for the top players in the country.
The GFF will also change its youth structure to have players contest over 40 matches per year in keeping with what obtains in age-group football in Europe.
Joseph referenced a FIFA study, which revealed that on average, Caribbean youth footballers play just 10-12 matches per year.
However, the main issue is finding a way to incorporate players from all associations into the programme, and the Technical Director noted that a partnership with the Ministry of Education would be critical in achieving such a goal.
The Technical Director explained that ideally they need four to five sessions, including a match, per week with players, as “the biggest challenge is not the distance but the schooling.”
He said they would have to explore options for creating a hybrid learning system where players can train and get schooling while encamped at the GFF National Training Centre at Providence, East Bank Demerara.
FIFA is expected to provide an initial annual subvention of US$50,000 for the project, which will increase as the programme evolves.
The world’s governing body for football will also cover the cost of Ruben’s stay in Guyana.
