On Monday, the 19th of November, a group concerned about the expansion of forestry in Co Leitrim visited Portlaoise to make their case about the impact of the over-forestation on their lives. The Save Leitrim group brought a number of appeals before the Forestry Appeals Committee, an independent body set up to hear appeals against decisions on license applications for afforestation and related activities. It is understood the Save Leitrim group brought appeals against two proposed forestry developments at this week’s meeting. John Brennan, member of the group says they also have serious concerns about the monoculture model for forestry being used in Ireland.
A radiographer who works at Roscommon University Hospital is celebrating after being nominated for and winning a national award for her work. This week Ann Marie Healy, from Roscommon town, said: “She’s very proud and delighted” for having been named ‘Radiographer of the Year.’ The mother of two, who recently became radiography services manager, has been described as “a driving force in the development of radiography services” at the hospital. Ann Marie has worked at the hospital for twelve years and says she especially appreciates the recognition because it was her patients who initially nominated her for the award.
SCDA lotto draw
The numbers drawn this week were 1, 6, 23, and 24. There was no jackpot winner. There was one "Match Three" winner, Damian Parker, Curraghroe. The next draw on will take place on Tuesday, 27th November, 2018, at the SCDA Office on Bawn Street, Strokestown. The next jackpot is worth €670.
A Leitrim company, Cora Systems, which was recently named as Technology Exporter of the Year, is hoping to expand its workforce in the coming months. The company is based in Carrick-on-Shannon and provides software solutions and packages for some of the biggest companies and organisations in the world including Price, Waterhouse, Cooper and the UK’s NHS. The company was founded by Roscommon man, Philip Martin, in 1999 and also has offices in London and in Boston, Massachusetts. Susanne Kerins, head of marketing with Cora Systems says they are hoping to expand even further in 2019. The firm currently employs fifty people at its Carrick-on-Shannon office and fifteen people across its other offices, and says that because it is experiencing a growth period, it currently has fifteen vacancies open, many of which are based in its Carrick-on-Shannon office. The roles include a variety of technical jobs including project managers, business analysists, and software developers.
According to figures released by the Central Bank there are currently 976 households across the three counties with mortgage arrears of two-years or more. The figures show that 438 households in Co Roscommon, 250 in Longford, and 62 in Leitrim are in long-term mortgage arrears. A new Government approved ‘mortgage to rent’ provider aims to keep people who find themselves in difficulty, in their own homes. Under the initiative Home for Life can buy the distressed property and then lease it back to the home owner through the Local Authority. Home for Life CEO, Paul Cunningham says that helping families stay in their homes makes economic sense to avoid having people become homeless, as regardless of the location of the property, making a family homeless will create a housing need, and this should be avoided.
On Tuesday night, Sinn Fein TD for Sligo-Leitrim Martin Kenny, moved a bill to second stage in the Dail which is aimed at removing obstacles for people who can’t get planning to build one-off houses in rural areas. The amendment to the Local Government (Water Pollution) Act 1977 empower local authorities to grant a waste water discharge license to people who want to build in circumstance where a percolation test has been failed. Deputy Kenny says this would move away from the zero-discharge rule which has prevented many people buildings houses in every part of rural Ireland in recent years. The Sinn Fein TD says it’s a small measure which could have a hugely positive effect in tackling rural de-population. He cited that in Leitrim, the changes to the rules would enable in the region of twenty-five to thirty-five houses a year be built, noting it would not be a free-for-all.
A woman, whose body was found in a house in Castlerea, has been named locally as Susan Seymore. The 66-year-old’s remains were found at her home at Carrowbehy on Thursday of last week, but it is understood she may have been dead for up to a month. Her body was removed to Roscommon University Hospital mortuary, and a post-mortem examination was conducted. A private cremation took place on Monday. In other news, the 57-year-old man, whose body was found in a lake near Loughglynn last week has been named as Micheál Waldron. The funeral mass of the man from Cloonfower, Castlerea was held in St Brigid’s Church, Cloonbonniffe, on Tuesday, and was followed by his burial afterwards in St Joseph’s Cemetery, Castlerea. It is understood that neither of the two incidents are being treated as suspicious.
McSharry on GLAS
Fianna Fáil TD for Sligo-Leitrim, Marc Mac Sharry, has called on the Agriculture Minister to ensure that all GLAS payments are made to farmers before Christmas. New information released this week reveals that almost 13% of farmers across the North West of the country are still waiting for their balancing payment to be made. The figure is highest in Donegal, where almost 20% of farmers have not received their final payment. Deputy MacSharry commented: “A total of 10,807 farmers across Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim and Roscommon were eligible for payment under the 2017 GLAS scheme. However, 1,391 farmers are still waiting for the final 15% payment. This is disappointing as it is now mid-November, and Christmas is less than seven weeks away,” continuing to say: “GLAS payments form an integral part of farm incomes across the North West, and delays in payment can have an impact on cash flow for the business and for the family. Deputy McSharry called on the Minister to act: “I am calling on the Department of Agriculture to work through any of the administrative delays and ensure that farmers get the money they are owed as quickly as possible,” before concluding by saying: “We are now moving to a point where 2018 payments will soon start to be issued, and I think it would better for all concerned if the 2017 payments were closed off quickly.”
This week, Roscommon Civil Defence’s Water Unit was involved in the rescue of two vessels on the River Shannon. The first boat, which had two people onboard, lost power while approaching the lock gates at Rooskey. The vessel was drifting towards a collision with another boat which was marooned, with the crew having lost control of the vessel. The marooned vessel was on the buoy-line safety-barrier at the weir in Rooskey until the Civil Defence intervened. The boat was towed to safety and passengers were transported to Dromod. The second boat, which was marooned, was towed upstream to safe waters and the crew regained control of their vessel. Thankfully, there have been no reports of injuries from the incidents.
On Monday (26th November), works will begin to be carried out by Farrans Construction Ltd to upgrade the public water infrastructure between the R371/L-1415 junction and River Shannon Bridge in Rooskey. Irish Water will have commissioned the works and the company has advised it will take up to ten weeks to complete. In partnership with Roscommon County Council, Irish Water will replace 860 meters of aged cast iron pipes with plastic ones. The state agency says it’s expecting the replacements will be finalised by the end of January 2019 and works will be limited to short sections off pipe in order to minimise impact on customers and local residents.
The annual erecting of the Christmas lights is already underway in Strokestown, and the committee are making great progress this year, and are very thankful to several new volunteers who have lent a hand so far this year. The old adage that many hands make little work could not be relative than with Christmas lights in Strokestown. The group will be out again over the next couple of weekends putting up Christmas lights around Strokestown and are always happy for more volunteers to help out. If you are interested in helping, you can contact Mike Snype on (087) 913 2936 for details of where and when the group meet.

Assessment and Evidence-Based Treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder CE Course
Primary Care Physicians, Physician Assistants, Primary Care and Mental Health Nurses in clinical outpatient settings, and mental health workers in clinic settings.
The purpose of this activity is to increase competence in detecting and confirming the diagnosis of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder through clinical interview, and to increase knowledge of highly effective, evidence-based practices such as Hierarchical Exposure Therapy.
- Though familiar with broad, non-specific elements of this mental disorder, or one or two specific behaviors such as hand washing, health care professionals are at risk for premature diagnosis before DSM-5-TR criteria are sufficiently met.
- Clinical health care professionals such as general physicians, Assistants, Nurses and Mental Health Workers, face a gap in understanding the relationship between behavioral symptoms and patients’ anxious states of discomfort that result in functional impairment or eventual incapacity.
- Errors in planning and implementation of standardized, evidence-based approaches such as Exposure Therapy lead to higher risk of drop-out and unnecessary discomfort in treatment.
- Clinical Health Care Professionals lack familiarity with the typical episodic course of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and the clinical rationale for emphasizing psychoeducation and patient mastery in self-initiating techniques.
Abramowitz (2013) reported that lack of understanding of underlying rationale for use of Exposure Therapy resulted in less consistent application of the approach.
Keijsers, Hoogduin & Schapp (1994) Presented research indicating several factors led to poor outcome or treatment failure in OCD, such as complexity in presentation and poor provider/patient relationship.
Fenske & Schwenk found that lack of recognition of OCD symptoms in patients by physicians leads to delay in treatment and poorer outcome.
- Need to improve assessment competency in collection of clinical patient data so that diagnoses are more closely aligned with DSM-5-TR Criteria standards.
- Need to supplement primary clinical and academic knowledge base regarding Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to prepare clinical health care professionals for range of symptom manifestations that occur in actual clinical cases.
- Need to increase knowledge of the basis of patient discomfort in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in order to decrease drop-out and increase long-term patient efficacy in coping with post-discharge episodes.
By the end of this course learners will be able to:
- Assess Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in order to gather sufficient evidence for diagnosis.
- Recognize a variety of obsessive and compulsive behaviors that may be seen in clinical and community practice.
- Provide informed psychoeducation to patients about their condition and treatment to increase patient compliance.
- Recommend targeted treatment approaches with sufficient level of intervention to improve patient outcomes.

A drunk man allegedly assaulted two police officers, sending one to the hospital, after his roommate called 911 because he was "worried he would stop breathing". According to the New Jersey Herald, Mark Autore was found unconscious by Hopatcong police officers but they were able to wake him.
Autore agreed to go to the hospital for treatment but his attitude changed after the ambulance squad arrived. The 40-year-old allegedly charged at Patrolman Edward Janosko and Patrolman Richard Bosland tried to wrestle Autore into handcuffs. Bosland reportedly ended up going to the hospital for a possible fractured or broken right hand.

- Microwave power meter
Usually a microwave power meter will consist of a measuring head which contains the actual power sensing element, connected via a cable to the meter proper, which displays the power reading. The head may be referred to as a power sensor or mount. Different power sensors can be used for different frequencies or power levels. Historically the means of operation in most power sensor and meter combinations was that the sensor would convert the microwave power into an analogue voltage which would be read by the meter and converted into a power reading. Several modern power sensor heads contain electronics to create a digital output and can be plugged via USB into a PC which acts as the power meter.
Microwave power meters have a wide bandwidth—they are not frequency-selective. To measure the power of a specific frequency component in the presence of other signals at different frequencies a spectrum analyzer or measuring receiver is needed.
There are a variety of different technologies which have been used as the power sensing element. Each has advantages and disadvantages.
Thermal sensors can generally be divided into two main categories, thermocouple power sensors and thermistor-based power sensors. Thermal sensors depend on the process of absortbing the rF and microwave signal energy, and sense the resulting heat rise. Therefore they respond to true average power of the signal, whether it is pulsed, CW, AM/FM or any complex modulation. (Agilent 2008). Thermocouple power sensors make up the majority of the thermal power sensors sold at present. They are generally reasonably linear and have a reasonably fast response time and dynamic range. The microwave power is absorbed in a load whose temperature rise is measured by the thermocouple. Thermocouple sensors often require a reference DC or microwave power source for calibration before measuring; this can be built into the power meter. Thermistor-based power sensors such as the Agilent 8478B are generally only used in situations where their excellent linearity is important, as they are both much slower and have a smaller dynamic range than either thermocouple or diode-based sensors.Thermistor-based power sensors are still the sensor of choice for power transfer standards because of their DC power substitution capability (Agilent 2006). Other thermal sensing technologies include microwave calorimeters and bolometers,and quasi-optic pulsed microwave sensors.
Many microwave power heads use one or more diode(s) to rectify the incident microwave power, and have extremely fast response. The diode would generally be used in its square-law region and hence give an output voltage proportional to the incident RF power. In order to extend their dynamic range beyond the square-law region, linearity correction circuits or multiple diode stacks are used. With advancement in comprehensive data compensation algorithm and diode stacks topology, diode sensors like the Agilent E9300A is able to respond properly to complex modulated signals over a wide dynamic range. (Agilent, 2006)
Like thermocouple sensors, they often require a reference source.
Other technologies have been investigated or implemented for use as power sensors but are not widely used today; these include torque-vane, electron-beam, MEMS, Hall effect and atomic fountain based sensors.
Type of Microwave Power Meters
The three main types of microwave power meters are
- Average power meter – measures true average power of the signal
- Peak and average power meter - display profile or envelope of the signal and measures peak, average and peak to average ratio power
- USB power meter or sensor – a compact, small form factor hardware that combines the functionality of a meter and a sensor. It can also be divided into average USB power meter or peak and average USB power meter

Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors are not normally used when you want a capacitor with low ESR, that's why they don't put it in the data sheet. You will find in in the sheets of polarised capacitors. By and large if it isn't in the data sheet they are not proud of it.
The opposite is true. MLCC's have extremely low ESR (see this presentation
for example), lower than that of tantalum, and often too low for LDO's that expect a minimum ESR for loop stability.
The RXJ010M2ABK-0511P is definitely overkill for this application (100V??) but its impedance is fine -- 0.16 ohms at room temperature (I'm not sure where you got the 7 ohms number from).

A 20 minute short that focuses on the disillusioned youth of Brazil under the military dictatorship, and details the femme fatale Daniele Gaudin, this was Tonacci's first work, a short movie that is not very remarkable, but interesting for observing his trademarks of vehicles and shaving, that will come back in his magnum opus, his next detail Bang Bang. The short follows a group of righteous mates out to punish unsuspecting citizens who enjoy into their hands. A nice understanding of camera and symmetry is evident, which would be reaffirmed convincingly in Bang Bang. Tonacci comes from the globe of Cinema Marginal, that attempted to walk opposite to Cinema Novo, and make something norm-breaking, logic-defying.

by Chris Horner, Senior Legal Fellow
Another day, another federal agency whose bureaucrats, working on the taxpayer’s time and dime, using taxpayer computers and other resources, claim that certain of their work must be kept secret from the public because they’re really working for an international body (also funded by US taxpayers).
This time, it is the National Toxicology Program (NTP), an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services, making that plea to keep the records of one of its career employees — part of whose job is to collaborate with US-taxpayer funded bodies — secret, even though they are on the HHS computer system, relating to her work.
Why, imagine a Secretary of State’s aides claiming they were really working for a private foundation when engaged in certain workday activities. Ok, right, somebody actually is making that claim. Which we know, because those emails were turned over. But not this time, not HHS when it comes to its own environmental bureaucracy (this particular FOIA request, by the Free Market Environmental Law Clinic, amid evidence of government participation in yet another ideological push against abundance and all that makes it possible).
This should sound familiar, particularly to observers of the federal environmental bureaucracy. I dedicated the better part of a chapter in my book, “The Liberal War on Transparency,” to a high-profile example of this behavior, one which prompted congressional oversight and was ultimately smacked down by an Inspector General.
At that time, Susan Solomon, a climate activist working at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), declined to produce her emails for possible release under several FOIA requests, having rationalized that she was really working for the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). So, NOAA repeatedly claimed ‘no records’, until one day after informing me on the phone that a delay in responding to my request was due to deliberating over what were agency records and what were IPCC records. Wait, what?
In short, we see on occasion how taxpayer-funded activists simply pretend that, when they were busy on taxpayer time in taxpayer-funded offices on taxpayer-funded computers, doing a job related to, and sometimes even specifically tasked to them as part of their taxpayer-funded position, why they really weren’t working for the U.S. taxpayer at all. No, they were really working for the United Nations, World Health Organization, you name it. Show me the pay stub.
It was precisely that issue that put a halt to NOAA’s game. In the end, NOAA dropped its ruse, eventually searching Dr. Solomon’s home computer and non-official accounts to comply with the public records law. Still, that didn’t end the affair: the Department of Commerce’s IG entered the picture. The investigators’ summary of their findings is too exhaustive to replicate here, though you can read for yourself (Department of Commerce Inspector General, “Examination of issues related to internet posting of emails from Climatic Research Unit,” alternately styled “Response to Sen. James Inhofe’s Request to OIG to Examine Issues Related to Internet Posting of Email Exchanges Taken from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia, UK,” February 18, 2011, PDF p. 18, doc page numbers 13-16).
But, so the routine goes, usually, until we sue to overturn the claim that these documents aren’t government records, but UN et al. records free from FOIA. That is just wishful make-believe to avoid producing documentation of how public positions and resources are being used, that they’d rather keep private from the people paying for those resources and positions.
Incidentally, this same move was tried by George Mason University — a move that was ultimately smacked down by the Virginia courts — regarding their faculty’s advocacy of using RICO laws against those who oppose their political agenda. In that case, I reminded the school of how this turned out when NOAA tried it, to no avail; so we sued, and won release of what are plainly public records.
NTP/HHS FOIA officers either haven’t learned history, or prefer the delay the consequences of it repeating itself.

Tonto’s ex-boyfriend, Prince Kpokpogri, is currently being dragged on Instagram by actress Merit Gold.
On the leaked phone call, she was the same lady who was gossiping with Kpokpogiri about Janemena and Tonto. I’m not sure what went wrong.
Merit Gold, who was allegedly involved in the leaked voice note with Prince Kpokpogri in which he allegedly reveled in his sexcapades while dating Tonto Dikeh, has retaliated against the Delta-based man.
Merit hated the day she met Kpokpogri and the day he sent her on a secret errand in an Instagram post. She also claimed that some of her friends are sleeping with Kpokpogri who she described as an “ash*wo man” and an “ungrateful human being”.

Article provided by: Connect the Doc Marketing Inc.
Every dental clinic needs more new patients. All across the country and around the world, dental clinics are trying all sorts of tips, tricks, hacks, and marketing techniques to bring more new patients through the doors. Indeed, dental practitioners spend much time and fortune trying to attract new leads. The good news is that by following and applying a few general dental marketing ideas/concepts, they can be successful. That’s what Connect the Doc is about!
Connect the Doc is a dental marketing agency that helps dental clinics in America attract new patients. We would like to share some dental marketing ideas with you that can help your practice be more profitable. Click here to request a demo and learn more.
Dental Marketing Idea #1: Dental Marketing Idea #Keep a New Patient Call Log
Dental practices often spend a lot of money on marketing endeavors. Subsequently, they wind up generating very few new patients, leading them to conclude that the marketing they are paying for is ineffective. Often, what happens is that new patients who call in aren’t reported as a new patient reach. The dentist has no idea that they exist. The problem may not be the marketing afterall. The problem might be at the front desk. This is why you should keep a new patient call log of every new patient reach. Here’s the information you should log:
- Phone #
- How they heard about your practice
- What kind of dental services they need
- Did they schedule? (Call back anyone who hasn’t scheduled)
Dental Marketing Idea #2: Train Your Front Desk to Convert New Leads
Your conversion rate should be somewhere between 80 – 98%. In order to achieve these numbers, you will need to properly train your front desk on how to answer the phone and how to handle/screen new patient calls. One of the problems that often arises is that a dental practice’s front desk will get a call from a lead while someone is walking into the front door or checking out. The front desk may hurriedly answer the phone and try to get that person off of the phone. This is not what your front desk should be doing!
You need to make sure that your front desk gets the lead’s name and number and finds out how they heard about you. Remember, if the patient doesn’t schedule, then they didn’t convert! Connect the Doc has plenty of dental marketing ideas, and we can help you with your guidelines. Also remember, any time you see a dip in your conversion rate, you need to re-drill your front desk.
Dental Marketing Idea #3: Generate Referrals from Your Current Patients
Generating referrals is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get more patients to your dental practice. This works by looking at your current patient base and finding out which family members they have that are not yet your patients. Identify those patients and assign a staff member to ask that patient to schedule his/her children, spouses, partners, etc., before he/she leaves your clinic. You may incentivize your patients to do this by offering them great discounts for referring new patients.

Four arrested after 200-plus cannabis plants and £10,000 in cash discovered at Clipstone property
Four men have been arrested after 208 cannabis plants were seized and around £10,000 recovered from a property in Clipstone.
Police were tipped off after receiving a call from a member of public who could smell cannabis and had seen a group of men allegedly dismantling the grow, using dustbins to transport items from the address to a van.
Neighbourhood and response officers were quickly on the scene and spotted a heat lamp and fertiliser believed to be used in cultivating cannabis inside the vehicle.
They heard voices from inside the property, on The Circle, and detained four men aged 30, 29, 28 and 27 in connection with the incident at around 9.40am on Tuesday.
Insp Sue Wain said: “Some people may think that cannabis growing is a victimless crime but quite frankly, they’re wrong. The production and distribution of drugs has a detrimental impact on communities and ruins lives. It can also often be linked to more serious organised crime and violence.
“Not only is cannabis growing illegal but it can also be extremely dangerous due to the fire risk, especially if people are living in adjoining properties.
"The production and supply of drugs have a hugely detrimental impact and we remain committed to doing all we can to bring those involved in the supply of such drugs to justice as well as preventing harmful drugs from hitting the streets.
"Information from the public is vital in helping us crack down on drug crime and I'd urge anyone with any information about suspected drug-related activity in their community to get in touch with us.”
Anyone with information should contact police on 101.

The OPTIX Series 3 RF-over-Fiber Antenna Distribution System from RF Venue includes a transmitter module and a receiver module. The transmitter module converts RF signals arriving from an antenna source into a single-mode optical signal. It sends that signal down a length of fiber-optic cable (available separately) to the receiver module, which converts the source signal back into RF. Both modules feature three multicolor LED indicators for RF and DC status.
This system extends the range of antenna placement without any signal loss over the optical cable. It features a usable dynamic range of 60 dB, 175 to 960 MHz operating frequency, and 50-ohm impedance. User configurable controls allow you to manage signal level, apply DC power for active antennas or amplifiers, and directly monitor outputs to dial in performance. This system is compatible across VHF, UHF, and the 900 MHz band.

From Onuminya Innocent, Sokoto
Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko, who represents Sokoto North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has secured the release of 64 inmates after by paying N6million fines, compensation and debts owed by them.
The beneficiaries, who included a woman, were serving various jail terms in Sokoto Central Prison, Wurno, Tambuwal, Gwadabawa and Bissalam Satellite Prisons.
Through his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Bashir Rabe Mani, Senator Wamakko said that his gesture was in the spirit of Ramadan.
Wamakko gave each of them N10,000 transport fare to return their towns and villages, and to address their immediate needs.
In a statement Mani issued on Wednesday, he said that the gesture was extended to the inmates under the Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko Free Legal Services Foundation.
While addressing the inmates, Senator Wamakko through the Secretary of the Foundation, Mr. Abdulhameed Zubairu, said that the gesture was designed to ameliorate the suffering of the people in Ramadan.
Wamakko who is also the chairman of the Senate Committee on Basic and Secondary Education added that his action was aimed at fast tracking measures to decongest prisons, as well as facilitate the administration of justice.
He admonished them to be of good behaviour as well as see their incarceration as ordained by the Almighty Allah.
The state Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr. Lema Sambo Wali, represented by group’s Secretary, Mr. Kabiru Muhammad, lauded Wamakko for the intervention.
He urged other wealthy Nigerians to emulate Senator Wamakko’s gesture
A lecturer at the Faculty of Law, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, Mr. Shafi’u Shehu Auta, described Wamakko’s action as unparallelled.
The Chief Wali of the State Shari’a Court of Appeal, Alhaji Buhari Yahayya, appealed to the beneficiaries to shun crimes, to avoid going back to the prison.
Spokesmen of the freed inmates, Abubakar Zaidi from Sokoto city and Rahman Osayemi from Ibadan, commended Wamakko for the gesture and promised to steer clear of all acts capable of bringing them back to the prison.

The warning comes ahead of the publication of a YouGov/KPMG survey tomorrow which will show that 73% of shoppers now claim to have completed at least half — if not all — of their Christmas shopping.
KPMG will warn tomorrow: “Any retailers banking on the last few shopping days before Christmas to rescue their season’s trading results could well be disappointed.”
City analysts are also increasingly bearish as retailers enter the busiest week of the year. Richard Ratner at Seymour Pierce said: “It will be very busy, but people are too far behind to catch up. If the sales do not start well, we will be in real trouble.”
The chief executive of a quoted retailer agreed: “The best it will be now is okay.”


Cuomo staffer critically wounded in shooting
Updated 11:38 am, Monday, September 7, 2015
BROOKLYN — A member of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration was critically wounded early Sunday by what the governor characterized as a "seemingly random bullet."
News reports have said Carey W. Gabay, a First Deputy General Counsel who worked at Empire State Development, was in Crown Heights with his brother hours before the start of the West Indian Day parade when a seemingly stray bullet from an argument on the street hit Gabay in the head.
Gabay is in critical condition at Kings County Hospital, Cuomo's office said in a statement Sunday.
"Carey is a friend to all who have the pleasure of meeting him. I ask that New Yorkers join us by keeping him, his wife Trenelle and his family in their prayers at this time." Cuomo said in the statement.
"This tragic shooting – this one by another seemingly random bullet – is the latest heartbreaking reminder that the crime of gun violence must stop. Enough young, innocent people have died, and it must stop now."
Cuomo earlier told the Daily News that Gabay is "now struggling for his life."
According to an ABC news report, Gabay was shot in the head on Bedford Avenue near Sullivan Place around 3:45 a.m. Monday as he was walking with his brother.
Cuomo is attending the West Indian Day parade Sunday morning, before taking a scheduled 2 p.m. flight to Puerto Rico to address a growing Medicaid and Medicare crisis in the U.S. territory.
According to a news release from earlier this year, Gabay was appointed first deputy counsel in January, after previously serving as assistant counsel to the governor since 2011. He was a banking and finance associate at Jones Day from 2007 to 2009, and a structure products associate at Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP from 2002 to 2007. Gabay received his undergraduate degree from Harvard College and his law degree from Harvard Law School.

How to Become a Better Poker Player
Poker is a game of chance, but it also requires a significant amount of skill to play well. Players use a combination of probability, psychology and game theory to make decisions at the table. This helps them achieve positive expected value over time. In the long run, these skills can help players win more pots than they lose. However, many new players are intimidated by the complexity of poker strategy and often fail to learn from their mistakes.
Whether it’s playing online poker or at a live table, learning poker is an intense experience. For this reason, it’s important to start slowly and gradually build up your bankroll. Once you’re comfortable enough, you can try higher stakes games and tournaments.
The first step in becoming a better player is to understand the game’s rules and basic strategy. You’ll need to know how many cards are dealt, the ranking of each card and what a good hand looks like. Then you can begin to play the game more confidently.
There are two main types of poker games – cash and tournaments. The choice between the two depends on your personal preference and what kind of challenge you would like to face. However, the lessons you learn from either format will be beneficial.
Once you’re ready to start learning poker, it’s a good idea to find a coach or mentor. This will help you improve your game and learn the ropes in a safe environment. Your coach will teach you how to read the game, make the right calls and bet properly. They will also help you develop your mental game, which is an essential element of poker success.
It is important to avoid playing with sticky players if you’re new to the game. These players are tough to beat and will often call your bets with marginal hands. If you’re not careful, you could end up losing a lot of money to them. To minimize this risk, you should bet with strong hands pre-flop and avoid calling their bets if they have a good hand.
Another thing you should do is to play a tight pre-flop range when you’re in EP or MP. This will force them to fold weaker hands and you’ll be able to build the pot with your strong hand.
There are many benefits to poker, including improving your math skills. The game teaches you how to calculate odds in your head, so when you see a certain card on the table, you’ll instantly be able to determine its probability. This is a useful skill to have in other areas of your life, such as work and relationships. You can apply this knowledge in a variety of situations, such as determining which type of bet to make when you have a big hand. It will also help you avoid making costly mistakes in the future.

@ZooStation89 Thanks you! It was a nasty day for us yesterday. 😷
Atlas Genius (Darren Sell, Michael Jeffrey and Keith Jeffery) perform on the Trestles stage during the 2016 KAABOO Del Mar music festival held at the Del Mar Racetrack, California, United States - Sunday 18th September 2016
Times Square to hold a special free concert for this year's CBGB festival in addition to an already incredible line-up over the week.
The second CBGB Music & Film Festival is set to take over New York next week as hundreds of artists both old and new flood the streets in nearly 175 venues across the city.
The line-up has now been announced for year two of the CBGB Festival which will almost certainly exceed 2012's set-up. On October 8th - 13th, more than 700 artists will spread out in a celebration of some of the greatest music to have ever come out of New York - we are, of course, talking about the legendary 70s club of the same name that was founded by Hilly Kristal and saw the beginnings of icons such as Ramones, Misfits, the Patti Smith Group, Blondie, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and Talking Heads.
Must-see artists this year include Kentucky rockers My Morning Jacket, Californian quartet The Wallflowers and New York's own Grizzly Bear. We will also get to see a special DJ set by LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy and all female tribute act Lez Zeppelin will be making an appearance, though with only three songs so make sure you don't miss it! It's not all about Americans either as CBGB happily opens its arms to the likes of Aussie trio Atlas Genius who released their debut album earlier this year and eclectic Irish band Bell X1 who also released an album which reached number one in the Irish charts.
Live Music Day Festival to feature some hot acts!
Hanson - the 90s pop group who recently released their own brand of beer - are among the acts confirmed the Live Music Day Festival - an online/mobile music festival featuring over 50 musical acts. The event, curated by MTV, CMT and VH1, will take place during the O Music Awards on June 19, 2013.

Coldplay live CD/DVD Cover
Albums of Note... Coldplay’s Live 2012 album shows a band far more at ease with themselves than their previous live release, from 2003. The Live 2012 package includes both blu-ray and CD. The footage is punctuated by behind-the-scenes interludes and these excerpts showcase each band member’s enthusiasm for their live shows as well as revealing how the material from Mylo Xyloto evolved over time and culminated with them band playing to a vast stadium audiences across the globe. “Live 2012 includes some nice musical moments... the low-key piano intro to 'Yellow', a guest appearance from Rihanna during 'Princess Of China', and the stripped back intimacy of 'Us Against The World'. All of the other elements of big choruses and sing-along's spanning the entire Coldplay back catalogue are present and correct… and Chris Martin's voice seems to have found a renewed strength to cope with the massive venues the band now fills.”
Albums of Note... Breaking away from their successful sibling recording partnership, Angus and Julia Stone have both begun releasing equally impressive solo material and this week, we take a look at Angus Stone's latest solo album, Broken Brights. Angus' song writing nods to classic rock legends such as Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin and Johnny Cash. A highlight of the album is the track 'Apprentice of the Rocket Man,' the description of which makes it feel like it may be worth buying the album for this track alone: "The ability of this track to transport you to another world is quite incredible. If you want to experience weightlessness without passing the NASA exam or forking out the $200,000 for a Virgin Galactic flight then sit back, close your eyes and become immersed in Angus Stone's quite brilliant tune."
The second album released by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros is being reissued by the Hellcat record label. Global A Go-Go was an exciting foray into world music for the former Clash frontman and his band of merry men. It was the last album released by Strummer before his death in 2002 but the reissue is light on feeling like a cash-in, on Why?at would have been the year of his 60th birthday. Musically, the Mescaleros were many a world apart from The Clash, but the emotional anger of punk remains. It's an instrumental track, though, that proves to be the focal point of Global A Go-Go: "A 17+ minute reworking of a traditional Irish Folk song closes the album. 'Minstrel Boy' is a perfect way to bring the curtain down as it ebbs and flows like an improvised jam session around a campfire. Featuring a wealth of disparate instruments it brings together many of the musical ideas to be found on Global A Go-Go into one track."

In January, the prostate biopsy required both Levaquin and Gentamycin. One month later, a five-hour oral surgery required ten days of Clindamycin. Four days after completing the Clindamycin, the C diff symptoms started.
Saw my PCP who prescribed Clarithromycin. Within three days the diarrhea was worse. Returned to the PCP, who said I should get to the ER and have lab tests and a CT scan.
One hour after my arrival in ER, I was admitted for C. diff. I was severely dehydrated. Along with I-V fluids, I got an I-V of Flagyl. For the next two days, I was connected to the I-V for fluids, but began to eat again, and be able to take the Flagyl in pill form (not an easy thing to do!)
Prior to this event, I had never been admitted to a hospital in my 63 years. I did not know what C. diff was, nor had I ever heard of it.
On the fourth day, I was released from the hospital and understood I was still infectious. I continued 12 more days of Flagyl. Three and a half weeks after the symptoms began, I provided a sample to my PCP who had it tested and the results indicated C. diff toxins were negative.
Since then, I’ve learned more about C. diff and the support available.
I’ve been taking daily probiotics with 10 strains; eating mild foods to allow my colon to recover from the injuries; trying to stick to gluten-free to minimize the challenges to the colon while it heals; and taking inulin fiber to encourage microbe growth.
I sleep well at night, deal with “issues” for an hour or so in the morning, and live a pretty much normal life. I lost a lot of weight during the infection, and I’m swimming and water-walking in the fitness center pool to rebuild those skinny legs. A lot of friends have asked me what happened, and I tell them of the effects of antibiotics, especially when there are multiple applications. Since most of them are in my same age group, I encourage them to be careful with antibiotics, and to look after their colon and the microbes through probiotics.
My journey’s not over, but I feel I received great medical care at the hospital, have incredible loving support from my wife, and know that there are many people who are there for me.

Putting Gerber oatmeal cereal in my sons milk!?
Dove - posted on 07/18/2014
Stop feeding children calories through their liquids!! Seriosuly people. If they CAN eat after a year... they should eat. At 15 months you could have a 'picky' eater that doesn't eat a lot, so a snack of a sippy of formula (or breastfeeding... if breastfed) is not crazy, but do NOT stick food in your child's drink. That's ridiculous... unless under the direction of a doctor that knows your child and their conditions.
Chet - posted on 07/18/2014
No. You don't want to bulk up the liquids your son drinks with extra calories. Sometimes this sort of thing is necessarily for a child with serious health problems, but in general, it's a bad idea. It can interfere with how the brain recognises calories which can cause them to overeat, or for some kids, they rely on the high calorie bottles and don't get into the habit of eating properly balanced and sized solid meals.
Also, at 15 months food doesn't need to be mashed up or pureed, and I hope that you're long past the new food every 3 to 5 day stage.
â« Shawnn âªâ«â« - posted on 07/16/2014
At 15 months, solids should be being introduced and expanded upon, and the bottle should be getting less and less.
For the introduction of solids, one new food every 3-5 days (to watch for allergies), serve him the same as you are eating, veggies, fruits, etc, mashed to help him digest. He should be starting to try to use a spoon (albeit messily) and learning to feed himself

JANE HINTON (Estate), 1936-2020
What continues to fascinate me along with the geometry of bridges is the magic of bridging - the dynamics of shape produced by light and shade and the linking together of opposing sides creating unity and harmony.
JANE HINTON (1936-2020) was born in 1936 in Victoria, BC and raised in Toronto. She studied drawing and painting at St. Martin's College of Art in London, England and later at the Ontario College of Art & Design in Toronto.
Jane Hinton's knowledge of classical and contemporary art became the foundation for the experimentation with the camera and the development of her unique multi-framed images and most recently her concentration on photographing walk-bridges. Hinton has travelled with her camera throughout France, Spain, Italy, England, Scotland, Finland, Canada and the United States. She has exhibited internationally and her work is found in numerous collections around the world including A. F. Philips Collection, Eindhoven, Holland; Helmet Gernsheim Collection, Switzerland; Museum of Fine Art, Houston; Southeast Missouri Regional Museum; Bennett Jones, Toronto; Emprise Bank, Wichita, Kansas; Fidelity Investments, Boston and Toronto; RBC Dominion Securities, Toronto and TD Bank Financial, Toronto.

MANCHESTER, N.H. – On the eve of the busiest travel day of the year for most Americans, Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) joined Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig and New Hampshire Department of Transportation Commissioner Victoria Sheehan at the Manchester Department of Public Works on Tuesday morning. There, they celebrated after Congress avoided cutting what would have been nearly 20 percent of New Hampshire’s federal infrastructure funding.
Following a bipartisan letter spearheaded by Pappas and Congressman Don Young (R-AK) that included 107 members of the House of Representatives, Congress addressed Section 1438 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, which would have rescinded $7.6 billion in unobligated federal-aid highway contract authority on July 1, 2020.
New Hampshire would have lost $37.8 million, with 37 states losing over $50 million in funding if the matter had not been addressed.
Removing the rescission within Section 1438 was included in the latest federal budget continuing resolution, which was signed by President Trump last Thursday.
Although Pappas added that Congress still needs to take additional action to address the country’s infrastructure needs, avoiding the rescission was a positive step to help avoid uncertainty in ongoing infrastructure planning by New Hampshire and other states.
“It was really critical that we acted now and made sure that projects weren’t delayed,” said Pappas. “There’s been significant downshifting to states and municipalities in terms of infrastructure spending. The federal government needs to step up to the plate.”
Sheehan noted that without the recission’s removal, improvements to rail trails, sidewalks, intersections and other infrastructure repairs and upgrades would have been delayed or cancelled.
Craig added that she expected either the delay or cancellation of upcoming projects on Exit 1, 6 and 7 of I-293 and rehabilitation of the Amoskeag and Queen City Bridges.
“Ensuring that New Hampshire will still receive nearly $40 million in transportation funding is critical to projects in and around Manchester,” said Craig. “Protecting this funding means that these important safety projects can go forward. As millions of Americans get ready to travel for Thanksgiving week, I want to reiterate my thanks to Congressman Pappas and all who advocated to ensure that New Hampshire received this funding that supports our residents, businesses, and visitors.”
