When the uber-liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decided late last night to allow tenets of Sharia and other religious laws to rule over our own where immigrants are concerned, the Supreme Court came immediately to life. Clerk pro tempore’ Lester Keenan instructed clerks from all nine benches to begin briefs so the matter could be resolved as quickly as possible.
The White House Council’s Office also filed an Amicus Brief to aid in expediting the case. When the court gaveled in just after 10 AM, it was as though the case had been prepared for months. The arguments took less than an hour and the decision took less time than that. In a unanimous ruling, Chief Justice Roberts wrote:
The decision of the lower court to allow a clearly unconstitutional ruling to become precedent in this country even for a moment sets a dangerous bar. This court will not tolerate any further deployment of religious law of any kind in this country. This case is not simply overturned, it is dismissed with prejudice.
In legal terms, “with prejudice” means it can never be brought before the court in its current form. What the nine Justices did today was exactly what they were supposed to. Even the liberals on the court agreed that it went way too far. Justice Ginsberg wrote:
The United States Constitution does not allow for religion to be present in our laws, nor does it allow our laws to dictate our religion. Hopefully our counterparts, who we ruled with today, will remember this ruling the next time a ‘religious freedom’ bill that allows discrimination based on religion to become law in ignorant states.”
Poor Ginsberg. She’s gone all delusional again. At least she pulled the right lever before she went off the deep end completely.

Can’t stay away: PNG’s Khristian Curtis returns to the court after a year off
Published 12:18 am Friday, December 6, 2019
Khristian Curtis orally committed to play baseball at Texas A&M his sophomore year.
Baseball is what he loves and that’s what he’s going to do in college, but not before playing one more year of basketball.
The 6-5 senior came back to the court for the Port Neches-Groves Indians after taking a break his junior year. That year he didn’t want to risk injury playing in another sport before making it to A&M.
The court continued to pull at him though.
“I just missed it in general,” Curtis said. “I missed playing with all my teammates that I’ve played with ever since I moved back to Texas from Tennessee. I just wanted to play again. I would go to the games and watch it and regret not playing.”
Senior year comes for Curtis, and during the first week of school he gave, maybe unwittingly, a little demonstration of what he could do with a basketball one day in the gym. Head basketball coach Chris Smith noticed.
“Khristian grabbed the ball, took two steps and dunked it, and I said ‘Welcome to the basketball team!’” Smith said. “He just smiled because that’s what he does. He’s a good kid, he smiles all the time.”
But that’s all Curtis did afterward. Smith let it go.
Soon there were rumblings around the school that Curtis was seriously considering playing basketball again. Smith heard the rumors but Curtis never approached him about it. Smith stopped Curtis in the hallway and asked to see him after school.
“I told him, ‘I wouldn’t be doing my job as a coach not trying to get the best kids out there to play. I know you haven’t played in a while but you were on the varsity team your freshman and sophomore years so I know you can play,’” Smith said.
Smith offered to work with baseball coach Scott Carter to get Curtis to give basketball a try, just to see if he liked it. If he didn’t, he can go back to baseball, no hard feelings.
Curtis has been with the basketball team ever since.
“When I committed to Texas A&M for baseball I didn’t want to take a chance on getting hurt and messing up my baseball,” Curtis said. “Me and my parents sat down and talked and we came to the conclusion that I wanted to play basketball again.”
After all, basketball will help keep him in shape until baseball starts. Curtis said it will also help him with conditioning and his footwork.
Curtis did take off a whole year, so it will take work to get back into a rhythm.
“I was definitely rusty at first,” he said. “It took me a couple of weeks to get back into it. I’m still working on finishing stronger in the paint. I really need to work on that. I’m still working on my shot, getting that back.”
“His footwork is probably not where it should be if he’d been with us all year, but each day he works hard, gets better and hopefully we can get him going by district,” Smith said. “With the work that he puts in, it just shows with the stats.”
Those stats include 23 points and 12 rebounds in Tuesday’s 65-58 win against Kountze, along with 12 and 10 in the 55-50 win against Little Cypress-Mauriceville. That’s after having taking a year off, and those were the only two games he’s played so far this year.
“He missed over Thanksgiving break,” Smith said. “He had to go to Tennessee for family, so he missed the three games over the break. With him playing baseball, not knowing that he was going to play basketball, they already had plans so I told him don’t worry about it. We’re just trying to get games under his belt and get him to start peaking at district.”
With just what he’s played, Smith says Curtis has nonetheless been a real presence in the paint rebounding and blocking shots.
“He’s just an overall great kid,” Smith said. “He’s a great student, a good attitude, gives 100 percent in everything.”
Due to the shelter-in-place issued in Port Neches in the wake of the TPC Group plant explosion, the Indians weren’t able to play any games in the Nederland Tournament on Thursday. They will make up for it today, playing Dallas Kimball at 9 a.m. at the Montagne Center in Beaumont and Mississippi’s Grace Prep at 4:30 p.m. in the dome gym at Nederland High School.

The Nebraska Association of School Boards has quit the National School Boards Association, making it the 25th state that has done so. Last year, the exodus of state boards began when NSBA leaders wrote a letter asking Joe Biden and Justice Department officials (including Attorney General Merrick Garland) to ask the federal government to investigate threats to school officials as domestic terrorism.
“As these acts have escalated in violence and malice against public school officials, the classification could be the equivalent of a form of domestic terrorism or hate crimes,” read the letter.
The letter was sent by Chip Slaven, CEO of NASB and executive director of NASB, who coordinated with the Biden White House to send it.
According to Omaha World-Herald, top Nebraska politicians encouraged the action taken by the state school board association.
The letter was also rejected by Nebraska politicians. In a statement, U.S. Senator Ben Sasse called Garland’s memo “political hack work” and Gov. Pete Ricketts stated that federal intervention would constitute an “absolute outrageous misuse of federal power” and was intended to “browbeat parents into attending school board meetings.”
Shortly after the letter was shared, the NSBA publicly apologized for it. Slaven is no longer the interim executive. An independent investigation by the NSBA revealed that he was the principal author. He did not seek out comments from the national board of directors or members prior to sending the letter.
Everyone acknowledges that the rhetoric was heated during last fall’s debates on critical race theory and masks. There were no plots to execute violent acts against school board members.
After their cardboard cutout, Slaven coordinated her efforts with the White House, and the Biden administration demanded federal involvement in fighting domestic terrorism threats by parents. This was nothing more than a political theater act.
Local or state law enforcement could have easily dealt with any threats to board members. Biden, however, wanted to be the bully in the sandbox. The National School Board Association received exactly what it deserved.
The NSBA’s revenue from dues has been cut in half and it is now uncertain if it will survive. Several other state school boards are considering creating a national school board organization.
Despite this, some state associations are still in discussions about the creation of a national advocacy group to compete with NSBA and possibly poach other members.
Florida School Boards Association has recently changed its bylaws to remove the requirement that it keep NSBA membership and allow for membership in another national or regional organization.
In an internal memo, the Montana association stated that they could create these services with an investment on par with the amount we currently spend on engagement in NSBA.
The Pennsylvania School Boards Association is currently gauging interest from other states to create a new umbrella group.
The competition will at the very minimum force the NSBA into reforming its practices. This can only be good news for schools moving forward.

Growing up in the States, I slept through my American history classes. American civilization had no patina like European or world history. Teachers eulogized the heroics of double-chinned white guys who once lived somewhere a thousand miles east of our flat midwestern city. Paul Revere’s “The Redcoats are coming!” was the refrain of too many pithy poems mimeographed in smudged purple by teachers’ assistants, then passed around class.
Redcoats were bad, Redcoats were greedy. Redcoats were the British, who wanted to take America away from those to whom it rightfully belonged — the colonists, our forefathers [never mind that the continent didn’t really belong to any Europeans at all, or that all my ancestors were still miserable in the old country rather than in the US where they’d flee a century later].
Australia had the Redcoats too, and they had them at the same time that we did. They built buildings here in the same Edwardian/Georgian styles I’ve seen in Boston, in Liverpool, even on Shamian Dao, that strange little European island smack in the middle of Guangzhou.
I step across these Redcoat murals as I walk to the train station, as I walk to buy fresh groceries from this fertile country. It’s an upside down deja-vu every time. Melds childhood stories from the north into history here at the bottom of the world. I get a kick out of walking over the flattened bodies of these British soldiers, brothers of those we kicked out of my country centuries ago.

Cavendish, William (1720–64), marquess of Hartington, 4th duke of Devonshire , lord lieutenant of Ireland, was baptised in London 1 June 1720. He was the eldest son of William Cavendish, 3rd duke, and Catherine, daughter and heir of John Hoskins of Oxted, Surrey. As marquess of Hartington (the courtesy title he inherited on his father becoming 3rd duke of Devonshire in 1729), he served as MP for Derbyshire (1741–51). He married (March 1748) Lady Charlotte Elizabeth Boyle (d. December 1754), only surviving child and heiress of Richard Boyle, 3rd earl of Burlington, thus securing Lismore Castle, Co. Waterford, and other large estates in Ireland, and increasing the political importance of the Devonshire family. Cavendish was raised to the British house of lords (13 June 1751) as Lord Cavendish of Hartington and appointed master of the horse, a notable honour. He was sworn a privy councillor in July. He became 4th duke of Devonshire on the death of his father in December 1755.
In April 1755 he was appointed lord lieutenant and general governor of Ireland and sworn in on 5 May. He was also made governor of Co. Cork. The decision of the prime minister, the duke of Newcastle, to appoint Hartington was appropriate for a number of reasons. Not only was he politically close to Newcastle, he had extensive land holdings in Ireland and his father had been lord lieutenant (1737–44). He was related or connected to the leading political families in Ireland. Henry Boyle (qv), speaker of the house of commons, was his recently deceased wife's uncle and the wives of both John Ponsonby (qv) and his brother William (qv) were his sisters. The Ponsonbys’ political opponent, the earl of Kildare (qv) (later duke of Leinster), regarded him benignly because he was a political ally at Westminster of Henry Fox, Kildare's brother-in-law.
With his chief secretary, Henry Seymour Conway (qv), Hartington was expected to deal with the aftermath of the money bill dispute of 1753, which his predecessor, the duke of Dorset (qv), had been unable to resolve. This dispute had seen Speaker Boyle and his followers side with the opposition to defeat a money bill intended to apply a surplus in the revenue to reduction of the national debt. Working through his chief secretary, whose diplomatic skills were of considerable importance in finding a resolution to the 1753 impasse, he secured an agreement between the factions on the terms of the address to the king at the opening of the parliamentary session in October; this agreement was followed early in 1756 by Henry Boyle's resignation as speaker to become earl of Shannon, with Boyle's great rival John Ponsonby taking the speakership in his place. The viceroy's decision not to appoint the primate George Stone (qv) as a lord justice, when the time came for him to return to England, was intended to conciliate both Boyle and Kildare, and it was indeed the latter who was sworn in as a lord justice, along with Brabazon Ponsonby (qv), 1st earl of Bessborough (d. 1758), and the 1st Viscount Jocelyn (qv), on 11 May 1756 when Devonshire returned to England.
The outbreak of the Seven Years War necessitated his return to England (May 1756). He became first lord of the treasury (November), but faced great difficulties and struggled in the role, resigning in May 1757. He then served as lord chamberlain of the household (1757–62), but six months after Newcastle's resignation he was dismissed from office, with George III personally striking his name from the list of privy councillors. He was made FRS (1761) and FSA (1762). With his health failing, Devonshire retired from politics. He died 3 October 1764 at Spa, and was buried in his family's crypt at All Saints', Derby. Devonshire was succeeded by the eldest son of his three sons, William, as 5th duke. His daughter Dorothy married the 3rd duke of Portland (qv).

Dan Wever sent in this after viewing a video:
Carmen was talking about the Gafcon RFQ when someone asked her where the money ($500,000) was coming from and she was trying to answer and Dori broke in and explained that when they were deciding on how to spend the bond an amount was set aside for things that come up that may not be expected. Carmen said yes that is true we have around 40 million dollars for that! They are talking about bond money.
Recall, there was still $20+ million left over from the previous bond. Have no doubt … this is a slush fund, not allowing for public transperancy.
Another $40 million of taxpayer money taken for them to play with and give to their friends. Just one more bond scam. Maybe legal, but deceitful. Disgusting. Equally sickening is the choice of Escobar or Fennenbock for Congress. Watch which companies and executives donate to those campaigns, especially those who benefit from county and EPISD contracts.

Anything that makes money more scarce will affect the prices. NYC does attract a good number of foreign investors because of the strength of the Euro against the dollar. However, the city has not gone unscath by the current financial crisis. Inventory is up as well as days on market. The tightening of the mortgage market will affect the number of people eligible for mortgages. This will have a direct impact on the rental market. Rental prices are expected to rise as demand for rentals increase. In addition, an increasing number of multifamily units are heading toward foreclosure. Even Tishman is having trouble getting money for his Stuyvesant conversion project.
In short, if you are buying to live in the unit and qualify for a mortgage, there are deals out there. If you are buying strictly as an investment, you must do your due diligence. I suggest speaking with a mortgage professional and have him/her do a rent vs. buy analysis.

Grill up some juicy and tender brisket for your next outdoor party and impress your guests with flavors that will make their mouths water.
Smoking a brisket can seem intimidating at first, but with the right techniques and equipment, creating this tender and delicious smoked brisket is not that difficult. Smoking a brisket can involve an array of techniques and flavors, whether you use an electric smoker or a charcoal pit. This guide will walk you through all the steps needed to turn out a succulent brisket made in an electric smoker.
This guide will cover the following items:

Explanation of smoking brisket
Smoking a brisket is a time-consuming process that requires tremendous patience and skill. In the simplest terms, smoking a brisket is the art of cooking with low and slow heat. By cooking at a low temperature for an extended period, fat and collagen slowly break down, resulting in tender, juicy cuts of meat that are rich with flavor. Electric smokers provide even heat control and can easily accommodate large cuts of meat like brisket.
While there are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to smoking a brisket, here is an overview of what to expect:
- Explanation of smoking brisket:
-Preparing the Brisket – Prior to smoking, preparation involves trimming any large areas of fat off the surface of the brisket. After trimming the fat cap off the top of the brisket, season it with salt and pepper or your favorite BBQ rub. Make sure you pat dry so that your seasoning will stick to it better.
-Setting up your Electric Smoker – Fire up your electric smoker and fill up with wood chunks for smoke (mesquite or hickory works best for this recipe). Set your temperature at 250°F and preheat for about 15 minutes until ready to start cooking.
-Smoking Process – Place your pans onto dedicated lower racks inside smoker chamber and put in seasoned briskets on their flat sides (presentation side down). Close lid or door carefully make sure seals tight for efficient cooking process.
Purpose of the article
The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to smoking a brisket in an electric smoker. This guide will cover the basics of setting up the smoker for optimal performance, preparing the brisket for smoking and the different techniques for smoking.
It also includes information on safety precautions and other considerations when using electric smokers. Additionally, this article provides helpful tips and advice from experienced pitmasters on getting the best results from your brisket. This way, you can be sure that even a beginner can achieve professional quality results while smoking your first brisket!
Overview of the steps for smoking brisket in an electric smoker
Smoking a brisket in an electric smoker involves a few simple steps. Before getting started, make sure to check that your electric smoker is securely set up and properly ventilated so that your food will not be exposed to too smoke or other contaminants. Then, prepare the smoker for cooking.
The first step is to preheat the smoker and lightly spray the interior with non-stick cooking spray or apply a thin coating of vegetable oil or butter to help prevent sticking. Next, place your rack of beef brisket on the grills and add any desired seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc., before closing the lid.
Set up an indirect heat source by placing hot coals on one side of the grill and allow them to become completely hot before placing the main portion of fuel—either charcoal briquettes or wood chips—on top and around them. Next, turn on the air vents and adjust them so that you can achieve a desirable temperature between 225°F (107°C) – 250°F (121°C). Allow 10 minutes for preheating before loading your pre-seasoned brisket onto the grills inside your electric smoker.
At this stage in the process, you may want to mound charcoal around the outer edges of the firebox near any un-covered areas in order to generate more consistent heat inside your smoke box while reducing direct cooking exposure from resting against uncovered surfaces. Make sure that you monitor air flow with periodic adjustments as needed until you can achieve steady temperatures within your smoking chamber as recommended by most smoking experts at 225–250F degrees Fahrenheit (107–121 Celsius).
Finally, attach a thermometer probe into one end of each brisket before closing up all vents evenly; this should keep temperatures relatively stable inside while allowing minimal smoke escape during slow walk cook time*. After several hours have passed and depending on how patient you are willing to be — cook times typically range from 3–7 hr — it is time to remove everything from the pit! Once done pull out your smoked briskets from cooker using two sets of tongs placed around opposite sides just below their front shoulders then wrap tightly in aluminum foil for insulation before allowing them rest at least 30 minutes prior final serving if desired – otherwise dive right in! Congrats! You’ve now completed smoking a Texas-style beef brisket using an effective electric smoker appliance!
Choosing and Preparing the Brisket
The brisket is the main event when it comes to smoking. It’s vital that the freshest, highest quality meat be selected for an optimal flavor and tenderness. Most briskets sold in supermarkets are trim, with a thick layer of fat covering the flat (the thicker part of the cut) and the point (the thinner tip). The fat should be left on to keep the brisket moist as it smokes. When selecting a cut, also check for marbling—the streaks of fat in and around the muscle fibers. Briskets that have ample marbling tend to be more flavorful and will smoke more evenly.
Before starting your smoker, take your brisket out of its packaging, pat it dry with paper towels, rub it with oil or even better-a dry rub seasoning or a wet marinade filled with herbs and spices to make sure you have a smoky but also flavorful sensation.. This can be left on overnight if possible or anywhere from 2 hours up to 12hours before smoking. After this has been applied cover it with plastic wrap until ready for use in the smoker.
Choosing the right brisket
A quality brisket is essential for a successful smoked brisket. Look for a USDA Choice or higher grade brisket that weighs between 10 and 13 lbs with about 1/4 inches of fat on top of the meat. This amount of fat ensures plenty of flavor, but not so much that it will keep the smoke from permeating the meat. Look for any discoloration or odors that may indicate poor quality, and be sure to pick one up at least 2 days before smoking, as this will give you time to marinate it if desired and let it rest in its own juices.
Quality is everything when it comes to smoking a brisket!
Trimming and seasoning the brisket
Once you’ve chosen the perfect brisket, it’s important to prepare it correctly before cooking. This includes trimming away any fat that might cause flare-ups, and seasoning the meat with your favorite rub or sauce.
Trimming of the fat: Trimming away some of the fat on the brisket will not alter its taste, but it does help in reducing flare-ups when smoking in an electric smoker. You will want to remove any excess fat from around the edges and then trim off any pieces that hang too far over the edge of your cut of meat.
Seasoning: Your brisket should be well seasoned with your preferred seasoning rub or sauce before it is added to your electric smoker. A liberal coating of rub or sauce ensures that layers of flavor penetrate as much as possible. For a milder version use a beer based rub or sauce, and for a more flavorful result try using garlic or garlic powder along with some chili powder or smoked paprika for a really great flavor punch! Remember to adjust seasonings to taste, as this can drastically change how your meal turns out!
III. Preparing the Electric Smoker
It is important to properly prepare the electric smoker before cooking the brisket. This will ensure that your final dish will be perfectly cooked and flavorful.
To begin, make sure that you have a full tank of fuel for your electric smoker and that all other parts are properly connected. Fill the water pan as far as it needs to go for the time you’ll be smoking, as having enough water in the pan helps maintain a constant temperature.
Creating smoke is also an important step in preparing the electric smoker. Put wood chips into an aluminum foil packet and make several tiny slits on top with a knife or scissors – this will allow them to smoke evenly when placed in the smoker’s bowl holder. It’s best to use about 4-5 cups of wood chips for your desired flavor, but be sure not to overdo it as this can lead to an overly smoky flavor. Alternatively, you can use sawdust or pellets which are designed specifically for creating smoke in an electric smoker.
Once all of these steps are complete, it is time to start cooking!
Preheating the smoker
- Preheating the smoker: Preheat your electric smoker to 225°F. Make sure you have plenty of time before the meal is ready, because it can take up to an hour for the smoker to reach this temperature.
Make sure you check for smoke at the exhaust prior to beginning your cook, as this is an indication that the burner is properly lit and burning correctly. Be patient and don’t rush! Having a hot smoker, rather than a cold one, results in a better tasting brisket with more even smoke penetration.
Adding wood chips
Now that your electric smoker is preheated and ready for your brisket, it’s time to add wood chips or pellets. The type of wood you choose affects the flavor of your final product. While each smoker comes with its own set of instructions, here are some general tips on selecting and adding wood chips or pellets.
It is generally best to use a light wood such as apple or cherry as it will produce a mild, sweet flavor. Heavier woods like mesquite are better suited for faster cooking meats such as chicken and pork chops, as they impart a quite intense flavor compared to the more delicate flavors imparted by lighter woods.
When you’re ready to add your selected chips or pellets, use the spoon provided with the smoker to sprinkle them over the burner located within your electric smoker. It is best to not overfill the burner with too many chips or pellets as this could cause flared up flames while cooking. Once they have been added, make sure all of them have had exposure to the flame and then close the pit door back up tightly.
Setting up the drip pan and water bowl
Before you start smoking your brisket in an electric smoker, you need to set up the drip pan and water bowl. The drip pan should be placed directly underneath the cooking surface so that it can catch any fat and juices that drip off the meat. The water bowl should be placed near the base of the electric smoker for added moisture throughout the cooking process.
Make sure both items are clean prior to use, as this will help prevent any food-borne illnesses from occurring. Additionally, adding liquid smoke or wood chips to either item can enhance the flavor profile of your smoked brisket. Be sure to check your manufacturer’s instructions for specific guidance on how to use these items in your electric smoker.
Smoking a perfect brisket is no easy task and requires a lot of practice and patience. However, with a little bit of work and proper technique, you can confidently produce a delicious meal for your family and friends.
When it comes to smoking a brisket in an electric smoker, the key is to control the temperature by regulating the amount of smoke and oxygen flow as well as using quality wood chips for flavor. After finding the right combination, maintain consistent temperatures throughout the smoking process which should take anywhere from one-and-a-half to two hours per pound at 225–250°F (107–121°C).
Finally, after 12 to 16 hours of smoking, you’ll know your brisket is complete when it reaches an internal temperature of 205°F (96°C) and you’re able bag yourself beautiful bark that is thick and dark brown mahogany color in texture. When you’re ready to serve it up, make sure that you remove all of the fat from around your brisket before cutting it or else your end product won’t have that coveted smoky flavor. While there are no hard set rules on how to smoke a brisket – everyone has their own preferences – hopefully with this guide you’ve learned some valuable tips so that you can make this iconic dish at home like true professionals do!

The Hitch CutOctober 29, 2021
The final assignment I completed this week was my own take on the “hitch cut.” The “hitch cut” is a three shot film where the middle shot is changed in order to produce a different effect. For my project, I decided to use one of the reactions I had gotten from my James Corden video. I thought it was versatile and funny, so I asked him if I could use it for this project and he said yes.
For the middle shots, I searched on pexels.com for some free stock footage. I wanted one piece of footage that would be appropriate for the location, so I found a video of a waiter pouring a drink into a glass. I cut out the actual pouring action and placed it in the middle of my friend’s reaction. Next, I wanted a more humorous reaction, so I looked for a video of a woman offering a present. I found a few options, but I decided not to use them because the first version also centered on a character offering my friend something, and I didn’t want to do the same thing twice. Eventually, I found a video of a woman holding a dog and used that for my second version. The idea behind this being that the woman wanted to keep the dog, but my friend did not.
Since I had downloaded these videos to my computer, I could not edit it on my IPad. The laptop version of IMovie was not as difficult to use as I had remembered it being, but I still think I prefer the IPad version. Something about being able to physically drag the clips is a lot more satisfying to me and I enjoy that much better than using a trackpad.
If I were to do this assignment again, I do not think I would use stock footage. Using it was more convenient than making my own, but it was very difficult to find shots that were specifically what I needed. Even with the footage I chose, I feel like I had to make a few compromises when selecting them. Making my own would help give me precisely what I need.

Indian Country Today
In its first three years, Tribal Diagnostics tested for everything from diabetes and heart disease to substance abuse.
Now, it’s working with tribal nations to test for COVID-19 at its Oklahoma lab.
The company appears to be the only Native-owned lab that collects test samples from health facilities across the country to run tests on its machines, in order to diagnose medical conditions.
It receives samples from Native and non-Native health facilities.
Tribal Diagnostics began coronavirus testing in May using a common nasal swab test that can tell if a person currently has a virus. It also has the capability to do antibody tests that determine whether a person was previously exposed to the virus.
Since then, it has conducted nearly 1,000 coronavirus tests for Indian Country specifically. The company is currently working with the Indian Health Service to process samples.
“The option for tribes to use a Native-owned lab is a great benefit,” says Tribal Diagnostics CEO Cory Littlepage of the Chickasaw Nation.
“Tribal Diagnostics is acutely aware of the health disparities and needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives, and we take that very seriously. We want tribes to know that they can trust us, and that their health and recovery is our top concern,” Littlepage said.
Other experts including National Indian Health Board CEO Stacy Bohlen, Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, say having reliable and accessible coronavirus testing in Indian Country is important.
“If you can’t measure it [the coronavirus], you can’t manage it,” Bohlen said.
“If a Native-owned company is coming into this space and offering testing, I would have to be pretty convinced that they would have to be excellent because they would have to be held accountable by their own people,” Bohlen said. “There’s a real trust element there.”
The company has worked with over a dozen tribal nations in places like Seattle, Oklahoma and Michigan prior to COVID-19.
On May 13, the Cheyenne and Arapho Tribes hired the company to test hundreds of tribal members and employees for coronavirus in an effort to reopen their gaming facilities and government offices.
The Oklahoma City laboratory can process up to 1,000 samples a day using what’s called an “RT-PRC Test” to determine if someone is currently infected with COVID-19. To test whether they previously had the virus, they can test 100 samples an hour using an “IgG” antibody test.
The company says it began looking into COVID-19 testing at the beginning of March when fears of testing availability were heightened.
Currently there are various COVID-19 testing options in Indian Country. If a patient chooses to be seen at an Indian Health Service location, they have the option of being tested there. IHS utilizes public, commercial and private health laboratories to determine test results.
If a tribe owns and operates its own health facility, it has the option of contracting medical services to test for COVID-19, which can be done through public, private or commercial providers. Tribal citizens also have the options of private providers, veteran affairs hospitals and urban Indian health programs.
“We realized very quickly that there was going to be an unbelievable shortage of laboratory tests in general, but especially in Indian Country,” Littlepage said. “We immediately saw this as our opportunity to not only provide testing options but education about how the tests work.”
Littlepage noted accuracy and quality are key so his lab spent “ample time” researching which tests to use.
Tribal Diagnostics reports its antibody test has over 99.5 percent accuracy.
“The equipment Tribal Diagnostics uses has FDA Emergency Use Authorization, which is sort of the gold standard of accuracy,” Littlepage said.
About a third of the Tribal Diagnostics team is Native, from tribes that include Choctaw, Navajo, Ponca and Penobscot. It has 56 total employees.
In the future, Tribal Diagnostics hopes to expand its relationships working with Indian Country with an ultimate goal of helping to address health disparities.
“And finances shouldn’t have to be a burden for tribes or individuals,” Littlepage said.
The company charges Medicare rates for coronavirus testing. It also works with a number of major health insurance carriers including Cigna, Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield.
“We have a unique opportunity to help in a way that many labs cannot, and I am really proud of the dedication of the Tribal Diagnostics team to rise up to the challenge,” Littlepage said. “Providing and caring for one’s community is ingrained in American Indian culture and therefore ingrained in the fiber of our company.”

I woke up at 5:45 this morning to witness the sunrise and spot the howler monkeys. Howler monkeys are small, 2 feet at most, but make this loud bellowing noise that I can only describe as the intricate mix between a dog’s bark and an old man with bronchitis. After some breakfast, we went down to the beach for the morning. I couldn’t believe the change in tide. It must have retracted 200 feet, reveling countless crustaceans and marine aqua life.
We made our way over to the exposed coral area, finding crabs, sea urchins, sea stars, slugs, and other various life forms. There were some large rocks casted out into the ocean that we climbed up. We were surrounded by a beautiful light blue sky, lively green mountains, and rolling waves crashing against the side of our rock fortress. The view was incredible. We then checked out of our place and made our way over to Samara, another beach. Our bus never came, so we ended up hitch hiking across the country side. There is no better way to witness Costa Rican life that the bed of a pickup truck.
Upon arriving, we made reservations in a hostel – where a group of strangers bunk together and share accommodations in bedrooms of 3-4 bunk beds. The concept is very cool; you meet awesome people doing the same thing as you: traveling and exploring. The people were very friendly and offered advise as to what we could do for the night.
We then had dinner followed by lounging in chairs by the beach with a couple drinks. This is truly paradise. After sitting and talking for a long time, it quickly came nightfall. The stars are incredible; I’ve never seen so many. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen the Milky Way galaxy. An explosion of stars dot the sky in a casting streak. You couldn’t help but feel small is this grand universe.
We then went to the super market, bought a bottle of liquor, and went back to shower up before venturing out to the night life. We went to a bar called Arribas. One of the owners of the hostel we were staying at had a friend who worked at Arribas. After a while, we made our way back walking along side the beach listening to the gentle crash of the ocean waves.
The sky was so radically different, you couldn’t see many stars anymore. Instead, it was covered by the illuminating glow of the moon. Where did that come from? The moon was right at my zenith, with a huge halo encompassing it. I had seen something similar back in Cincinnati that someone explained to me was caused by the sun’s reflection off the moon casting into ice crystals in the atmosphere. Ava said it was most likely space dust. Regardless, it was awesome – literally a perfect circle encompassed the moon.
It made me think back to ancient geometry, and how they discovered pi. I’ll save the history of that for a future blog post. Tomorrow we are going to be busing all day to pick up Mark from San Jose. I can’t wait to see him, we have much to discuss.

Friday to handle Vodafone Euro task
Vodafone has appointed the independent agency Friday to handle its pan-European digital account.
Friday, which won the business after a pitch through AAR, will be responsible for developing Vodafone's online user experience and digital strategy across major markets in Europe. This will then be implemented in specific markets by Vodafone's local shops.
Vodafone does not currently retain an agency in this international role. Separately, the telecoms giant's review of its UK digital agency roster is ongoing.
The bulk of Vodafone's non-digital advertising account is handled by WPP via its dedicated Team Red unit. WPP's grip on Vodafone's ad business was strengthened last year with the appointment of Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R to its £47 million account.
However, the Omnicom network OMD handles Vodafone's media planning and buying.Follow @SaraKimberley

With the particular current climate involving the shooting business, ammunition is becoming hard to find. It is obtaining tougher and harder to find cheap ammunition for a day at the product range. With the requirement being so large and the supply being so minimal, it can be easily ascertained that the price of what little ammunition is left would be extremely high. With that notion, I came in order to the conclusion that will self-reliance and self-sufficiency is the path i need to take.
So precisely what does it take to help make my own ammunition? After a very little research, I seemed to be surprised to get of which it doesn’t acquire much at most. Let’s look with an average 9mm pistol round. This consists of some sort of bullet, an instruments casing, powder plus primer. That’s this! What! You believe I am kidding, but Now i’m not. Any manufactured bullet includes just four components, some sort of bullet, an instance, primer and powder, no matter of whether or perhaps not it is gun or rifle. Consequently why aren’t many of us reloading? Ah!
Many misconceptions that Seems told over in addition to over again to not purchase reloaded ammo because it has a potential to explode in my face or even that the good quality is not mainly because good as factory ammunition. Both involving these assumptions will be not correct in the entirety.
Purchasing reloaded ammunition from a good unlicensed reloader may pose more of a risk than one from some sort of Federal Firearms Qualified (FFL) ammunition producer. 30-06 ammo avowed ammunition maker must follow strict guidelines within their manufacturing process, testing, as well as carrying insurance coverage. Do I want an FFL in order to make my very own ammo? No. Because an individual, an individual do not need an FFL to manufacture your personal ammo, so long as you do not intend to sell that.
Making your personal ammunition is usually occasions more accurate than ammunition bought right behind the counter. By simply manufacturing your own, you are able to fine-tune your ammunition to your current firearm for precision. Another benefit regarding manufacturing your very own ammunition is cost. You could tailor the particular cost of your own components to your own budget. Often times, reloaded ammo is definitely half the price tag on ammunition bought at your neighborhood store.
So right now you have decided to be able to reload your ammunition, what does it take to recharge? You would want a reloading press, reloading dies certain to the quality and reliability that you will be loading, plus an excellent reloading book. A new good reloading reserve will walk a person throughout the process associated with reloading, along with the maximums and minimums throughout the amount regarding powder to use and seating detail.

The Australian retail sector may be going through a reasonably tough time due to low wage growth and subdued consumer sentiment, but not all retailers are struggling.
Three retail shares that I think would be great investments are listed below:
Adairs Ltd (ASX: ADH)
One of my favourite options in the retail sector right now is this leading home furnishings retailer. The company bounced back from a tough FY 2017 with a stellar performance in FY 2018. Adairs delivered a 45.4% increase in profit to $30.6 million thanks to strong growth in like for likes sales, ecommerce sales, and lower levels of discounting. Pleasingly, the company has started the new year strongly and is on course to achieve its FY 2019 targets. Despite this, its shares still trade at just 11x estimated forward earnings and offer a generous trailing fully franked 5.4% dividend. Incidentally, its shares go ex-dividend for its 8 cents per share final dividend tomorrow.
Baby Bunting Group Ltd (ASX: BBN)
Another top option in the retail sector right now in my opinion is this baby products retailer. Although its shares have rallied strongly since the release of its full year results last month, I still see a lot value in them for patient long-term investors. Especially given that the company appears to have moved on from the headwinds that weighed heavily on its performance in FY 2018. I expect the closure of its competitors to result in strong market share gains and better margins for Baby Bunting over the medium term.
Super Retail Group Ltd (ASX: SUL)
This retail conglomerate could be a great option in the retail sector as well. In FY 2018 Super Retail returned to form with a 26% lift in net profit after tax to $128.3 million. The good news is that management expects another strong year from the company in FY 2019. It recently advised that each of its businesses had achieved positive like for like sales growth so far this year. So with its shares pulling back recently, now could be an opportune time to pick up shares.
Finally, here's a fourth retail share with a fast-growing dividend that could be worth snapping up today as well.
You might not know this market leader's name, but it's rapidly expanding into a highly profitable niche market here in Australia. Even better, the shares boast a strong, fully franked dividend that should balloon in the years to come. In other words, we're looking at the holy grail of incredible long-term growth potential AND income you can watch accruing in your account in real time!

Ageless Style – I have never come across this before until the other night when I was on Netflix and looking at the documentaries page. I came across a few fashion based documentaries – which I highly recommend, such as ‘Iris’ or ‘Dior and I’, but one had really stood out to me: ‘Advanced Style’. Imagine beautiful imagery of fabulous, quirky old ladies, smiling and posing for the camera. The film was released in 2014, after the very successful blog (origins) took off, which was further created into books. The documentary follows 7 beautiful older women aged 62-95, with amazing personal style and a vital spirit, living in New York City as they age. One of my favourites of the 7 is the absolutely beautiful Joyce Carpati, who sticks to no rules, whatsoever – she doesn’t wear just colour and no black, she’s a mix of the classic LBD, especially with the pearl ensemble, and then, as you can see from below, the yellow and white patterned coat . It features Iris Apfel, an iconic fashion textiles queen in the industry, whose style and fashion taste is unlike no other and definitely unmatched.
I loved the documentary, watching it and taking notes in my head of personal style and what my style means to them, as Muccia Prada said – Fashion is Instant Language, one of my favourite quotes of all time. I got so inspired by the documentary, especially with the section of praising other women and how much the blog, and the book as well, have changed women’s perceptions of themselves of how they ‘should’ be or look like as they grow older, its about defying the conventions of beauty for the older generations and making a stand against the stereotype. I took to Pinterest to expand on this and delve deeper into older ladies making fashion timeless and effortless, without ever looking the same as everyone else, my board is called Ageless Style and I have linked it at the end. I hope that when I get to that age, I will look and feel as fabulous as these women do.
Another quote which is on my little chalkboard of my bedroom wall, states “Fashion is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life.’ And I feel that this is completely relatable to the documentary. In the documentary, the owner of the blog, book and the documentary, Ari Seth Cohen, talks to the ladies about health and if it affects them as they’re growing older, with a lot more risk to a lot of illness and other life threatening things. It’s as if the creativity of putting an outfit together, of your own personal style, keeps them active – as that is what makes them, them! Their styling, and using the streets of NYC as their own personal catwalk runway, is what keeps them going and survive their everyday life and worries. Their armour is their style and how they choose to let others see them and be let into their colourful world.
I highly recommend watching this documentary, whether on Netflix or buying it online/Itunes, its absolutely inspiring and a feel good watch – even if there is a moment of a bit of a tearjerker near the end! The next documentary that I am planning to watch is called ‘The September Issue’, showing the fashion magazines and the effort and time which goes into creating the September Issue – the most highly anticipated fashion issue of the year, when the new season styles are out and Fashion Weeks are buzzing with energy and brand new garments to showcase.

I am reading from one of my thick anthologies of world poetry and flitting online as well. I do love the succinctness of the great classical Chinese poets. But...what is not coming through? I know so little of daily life a thousand or so years ago. And then, when something does touch me, I am sitting near the poet and time is the question not the barrier...
The Ching-Ting Mountain
by: Li Bai (701-762)
translated by Shigeyoshi Obata
Flocks of birds have flown high and away;
A solitary drift of cloud, too, has gone, wandering on.
And I sit alone with the Ching-ting Peak, towering beyond.
We never grow tired of each other, the mountain and I.

Zandie Khumalo Gumede Credits Haters for the Success of Her New Single
Zandie Gumede, a popular singer, recently expressed her gratitude towards her haters for the success of her latest single. In a post on her Instagram timeline, she shared the exciting news about the impressive performance of her song, titled “Amatshe,” on various charts and streaming platforms.
Zandie Khumalo Gumede applauds haters for success of new single
She attributed her ongoing success not only to her talent and loyal fan base but also to the individuals who consistently discuss and criticize her work. Zandie affectionately referred to them as her unpaid, mostly unemployed strategy/marketing managers. She recognized their unintentional contribution to keeping her name in the public eye and expressed genuine appreciation for their efforts.
Zandie Gumede in the Senzo Meyiwa Murder Trial
Zandie Gumede has been making headlines in Mzansi ever since her involvement in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial. Recently, she voiced her opinion about the media blackout she requested for her testimony in the trial. In an interview with eNCA, Zandie expressed her surprise at the reaction her decision received. She emphasized that as a citizen of a democratic country, she was exercising her rights, which led to a delay in the court proceedings as they acknowledged her right to request the blackout. Zandie expressed her confusion about the public’s negative response, asserting that she had every right to make that choice.
Focus on Testifying
Zandie Gumede acknowledged that people are entitled to their opinions regarding the trial, but she remains focused on testifying and sharing her side of the story.

Anne Chandler, who is the director for the Houston office of the Tahirih Justice Centre, has stated that multiple illegal immigrants she spoke with reported being told their children were going to have a bath only to be separated from them. The unverified reports have sparked alarm across the nation due to the similarities of NAZI Germany when countless Jews and others were brought to concentration camps, told they would take showers and then gassed to death.
Chandler spoke with Texas Monthly and described how detention center officials are removing children from their parents. The report states that children are taken from their parents for a bath and when their mother or father asks about their child’s whereabouts, they are told they won’t be seeing their child again.
The newly enforced procedures fall under President Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance border policy for anyone who crosses the border illegally.
Human and civil rights activists are gravely concerned for the physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being of not only the parents who’ve come to America, often looking for freedom, but the long-lasting impact this will have on innocent children.
"The officers say, 'I’m going to take your child to get bathed.' That’s one we see again and again… The child goes off, and in a half an hour, the parent inquires, 'Where is my five-year-old?'… And they say, 'You won’t be seeing your child again.'" https://t.co/dEmwSvNrFf
— Texas Monthly (@TexasMonthly) June 18, 2018
Anne Chandler assists illegal immigrant women and conducted a one-on-one interview with Texas Monthly that is going viral as it has sparked alarm. While there is no question that the Trump’s administrations border policy is controversial, it has been the news that approximately 2000 children have been separated from their parents since April 2018 that is making headlines.
Photos and videos of crying children standing at the border while their parents are handcuffed and long lines of children of various ages housed in cage-like structures in abandoned warehouses have prompted outcries of civil rights violations.
This week, protests have risen nationwide including a gathering in San Francisco, California where protesters united outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office. Protesters have also vocalized their outcry against family separation on Capitol Hill.
During the protests, some carried signs that read “Children Do Not Belong in Cages,” “Shame, Shame, Shame,” “The GOP’s Chrisitan Values,” and “Ice Agents American Gestapo.”
As the border crisis gains more press coverage more celebrities are speaking out against it. Even the president’s wife, Melania Trump, has voiced her opinion that children should not be separated from their parents for crossing the border illegally.


WVPT doc on Virginia’s largest yard sale to debut Wednesday
Titled “Yard Sale Ahead, The Rt. 11 Yard Crawl,” the documentary shot by WVPT chief videographer and producer Ed Bickel for the first time chronicles the 43-mile yard sale stretching from New Market to Stephen’s City which sprang up six years ago as a way to support the local economies.
“I don’t know how to put it into a genre. It’s fun, it’s quirky, and it’s an extravaganza. It’s just a good, wholesome view of an event that happens here in the Shenandoah Valley,” said Bickel, who dedicated a year to the project.
The “Yard Crawl” showcases a treasure trove of everything from the mundane and expensive to the peculiar and delicious.
Items from past years include cars and boats, pools, four-foot tall cat houses, rabbits for sale, human teeth in a glass. Along the way, visitors enjoyed treats like deep-fried dill pickles, cupcakes and lemonade.
However, the yard sale is more than just what’s being sold and bought. It’s a cultural phenomenon and an economic boon to towns in Central Virginia including Mount Jackson, Edinburgh, Woodstock, Toms Brook, Strasburg and Middletown.
“You see all kinds of people, all shapes and sizes, from business men to farmers to corporate executives to Harley Davidson riders,” he says. “It’s neat. There are people you run into that you haven’t seen for years, and there’s opportunity for social events. And most importantly, it’s bringing revenue to the area and helps the local vendors and merchants.”
Bickel was first inspired to cover the annual yard sale while attending the event with his wife and kids.
“That’s the cool thing about a yard sale—you never know what you’re going to find,” Bickel said, “and with 43 miles, there are a lot of cool things that could be out there. You just have to be at the right place at the right time.”
Bickel filmed last year’s Yard Crawl for the documentary, which took place Aug. 14. The seventh annual crawl will take place again this August.
“If I wasn’t out there shooting it this past year, I probably would’ve been crawling,” he said.
A production team member at WVPT for five years, Bickel has assisted in producing four previous documentaries for the PBS affiliate including “The Latino Underground” and “The Lady Behind the Brush.”

A little more about me…
I have a habit of finding myself in spaces where I’m not supposed to be. As a first-generation college student at Harvard University, as a paleontologist studying Chinese history in graduate school, as a historian treating history as an art practice in disciplinary contexts and reading poetry at academic conferences, my professional trajectory has found me working to expand a collective sense of what’s possible, and who it is possible to be, in the spaces in which I work, live, and move.
I am a historian of the pre-modern world with a deep interest in the forms, methodologies, and processes that we use to understand and come into relation with the past. While my professional training is in the intersection of Chinese history and the history of science and medicine, my professional interests have evolved to focus more broadly on two concerns of my early work that had previously been on the margins: the history of translation (especially in early modern China), and historical craft and method (especially as it is informed by scholarly practices at the intersection of the arts and humanities). It has also become much more intentionally collaborative in nature and scope, and those collaborations have helped to expand the range of forms that I manifest my research and scholarship in so that they now include poetry, short fiction, performance, and experimental creative nonfiction. While they might initially look like very different, my projects are all organically linked in a common and coherent research agenda and trajectory that relies on my disciplinary training in Chinese studies and the history of science and medicine to extend in new directions that still cohere with the methodological, conceptual, and research goals of my work as a historian.
How we understand the past is fundamentally shaped by the forms, and the types of attention, that we use to investigate and translate knowledge about it. In my research, I am most deeply interested in how a historian’s work is shaped by their relationships with their documents, and how those relationships are in turn determined by arts of attention: observation, recognition, context, and translation. In order to explore these related arts and practices, and because I hold the conviction that the forms of the stories we tell help to determine the content of those stories, my current work makes use of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, performance, and collaboration with artists and writers working in different media in order to understand and translate the past. The overarching goal is to help expand the possibilities that we think of when we think about what history and historical work can look like, and to model and encourage a more expansive and inclusive notion of what, how, where, and why history is, while basing all of this in rigorous and disciplinarily-trained work with historical documents. While I continue to deeply respect more traditional forms of historiography, for me, at this stage of my work and career, history is also an art practice.
You can find me elsewhere on the web, making stuff with others as part of The Translating Vitalities Collective, Flugschriften (w/ Dominic Pettman), The Uninvited Project (w/ Carrie Jenkins), The Invisible College (also w/ Carrie Jenkins), and Time Kitchen (w/ Josh Berson). More developments are afoot, so stay tuned for The Wormholes Project (w/ Dianna Frid) and The Laboratory for Historical Pataphysics (coming soon!).
