Mediterranean Meals Made in Amherst
There are certain foods that every American is familiar with. Whether or not you have ever eaten Peking duck, tasted genuine antipasti or learned the difference between empanadas and fajitas, the regional cooking styles behind them should be instantly familiar. There are countless other culinary traditions, however, that remain a mystery to the general populace, and as the melting pot continues to boil, new and interesting styles continue to emerge. In this spirit of diversity, a brand-new restaurant called Moti is bringing the flavors of the Middle East and the Mediterranean to Amherst.
Moti is owned and operated by chef Reza Rahnani and is named after his mother, a celebrated Bostonian restaurateur. Located in Amherst Center, the eatery serves up a variety of Persian and Mediterranean cuisine, drawing from traditional family recipes. The Persian style is marked by flavorful spice mixtures and marinades, as well as liberal amounts of onions and rice.
What strikes the diner upon opening up a Moti menu is the health of the options available. While plenty of organic beef and lamb dishes are available, most of the menu follows a decidedly lean trend, and, in contrast to many European styles, which tend to douse main courses in cream or cheese sauces, the Mediterranean traditions lean more towards yogurt, onion and chickpea.
Even where meat is absent, it is hardly missed, as the variety of flavors and textures is enough to satisfy the pallet in dishes such as creamy lentils and falafel sandwiches.
Appetizers offer light fare that are packed with flavor. They range from the familiar hummus platter to the decidedly more exotic dolmades, a mixture of rice and herbs wrapped in grape leaves whose acidic flavor can be a bit overwhelming.
From there, the menu continues on in a more consistent manner. Many items come wrapped in pita bread or served in a pocket, and whether they feature lamb, chicken or falafel, every sandwich is stuffed with fresh vegetables and homemade sauce.
Seasonings are top-notch at Moti, with all of their meats and poultry marinated in-house, and, although the taste of saffron is nearly omnipresent, it is never overwhelming. Ground beef has rarely seemed so exciting.
Those entrees which do not come wrapped in flatbread are served over a bed of well-cooked basmati rice. This long-grain rice is not simply a background ingredient but a dietary staple, and it serves to absorb the sauces and flavors of the headlining ingredients.
One such item that stood out as a winner is the “famous N.Y. chicken/lamb and rice.” Served with a yogurt-ranch house dressing, the combination of chicken, lamb and veggies is tossed with gyro flatbread and basmati for a fresh and satisfying meal.
Portions at Moti are decent, but not overly large. Most items on the menu range from $5 to $8 and will serve as a respectable lunch, but for those interested in really filling up should look to the larger dinner platters. These are priced at around $15 and are filled out with skewers of Kabob and roasted vegetables.
Other notable items at Moti include specialty drinks, which vary from the tangy and refreshing to the downright sour, like yogurt-based Doogh.
While in past years the cozy location next to Antonio’s has been a sand trap for aspiring restaurants, this one may buck the trend. Available for take-out or dining in, Moti serves simple, tasty ethnic cuisine from traditional family recipes. And while every item may not be suited for the timid American, there is sure to be something on the menu for everyone.

'Excellent partnership work fully embedded across the school, we can see the impact of parent partnership. We liked that the entry told us what they did with parent feedback. Impressed with the direct access to services for parents.'
(Quote from the judging panel on our school winning at the National SEND Awards)
Aims of the forums
At Little Hill we aim to involve parents as much as possible in the education of their children. Our Family Forums have been very popular and they have allowed parents to have their say about the way the school supports children with a range of different needs.
"It is very beneficial to meet other parents with SEND children and listen to other's experiences."
"They are really helpful as you can talk openly about everything without the feeling of being judged."
Although the meetings are primarily aimed at parents of pupils with SEND, or additional needs, many interested parents and family members have also been involved and are of course equally welcome.
The meetings allow you to talk to other parents, staff and a range of different professionals. They enable you to find out information and share your views on how things are going. It has been great to have so many parents involved in shaping the school's SEND provision and already changes have been made to how we do things in response to your ideas.
Each forum has a particular area of focus, but there are always opportunities for parents to raise their own questions or discuss ideas in a supportive environment.
Previous family forums
Supporting pupils with sensory needs
A great joint training event. This forum was led by Casey Bateman from Autism Outreach and was well attended by both parents and SEND support staff.
Supporting pupils with anxiety
We were very pleased with the turn out for our forum with a focus on supporting pupils experiencing anxiety. This was attended by our school based counsellor, Leona Smith-Kerr and our ELSA (emotional support assistant), Nuala Richardson. Thanks to all our parents who contributed to this meeting.
Thank you to all of those parents who attended our family forums and workshops on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) led by Ian Hall from ADHD solutions. These additional workshops have all been part of our commitment to gaining the ADHD Kite Mark accreditation.
'Dyslexia Aware' practice
Thank you to all of those parents who attended our forum on dyslexia. We have used your ideas to develop our school offer for dyslexia and this will now be shared widely with parents and staff.
'Autism Aware' practice
This was a great success and helped us develop our school offer for autism.
Look out for events happening in school during Autism Awareness Week in March/April 2020.
'Emotionally Aware' schools.
Please go to the Mental Health and Wellbeing section of the website to find out about this successful event.
Information and Further Support
Please find below a link to the Family Information Directory. This includes information on childcare, children's activities, support groups, as well as advice and guidance and education.

The UMass hockey program announced its 2012-13 team awards at the squad's annual banquet on Saturday afternoon. Five individuals collected honors, including Branden Gracel who was named team MVP in recognition of his stellar junior campaign.
Gracel led the Minutemen in scoring this season and was among the top faceoff men in the nation. One of five players who appeared in all 34 games for UMass, Gracel totaled 34 points on 14 goals and 20 assists, all career bests for the Calgary, Alberta, native who led the Minutemen in each of those categories en route his first career Hockey East Honorable Mention All-Star recognition. In 27 league contests, he logged a team-high 25 points on 10 goals and 15 helpers.
Over the dots, Gracel won 406 of 682 faceoffs for a .595 clip to rank ninth in the nation in faceoff percentage and first in Hockey East. He was a team-best +7 on the year and contributed two power-play goals and one short-handed tally, as well.


According to the stainless steel faucet company, the faucet is a necessary hardware tool for our homes, but we need to pay attention to the selection of the faucet. The stainless steel faucet company teaches you some tips for selecting faucets.
Look at the surface:
To distinguish the quality of the faucet depends on its brightness. The smoother and brighter the surface, the better the quality.
Listen to the sound:
A good faucet is made of integrally cast copper, and the sound is dull when beaten; if the sound is very crisp, it must be stainless steel, and the quality will be worse.
Generally, regular products have the manufacturer's brand logo, while some informal products or some products of inferior quality are often only pasted with some paper labels, or even without any marks.
Turn the handle:
When a good faucet turns the handle, there is no excessive gap between the faucet and the switch, and it can be turned on and off easily and without any slippage; the inferior faucet not only has a large gap, but also has a large sense of resistance.

And while Ethereum fans crow about there being 12 times more wrapped bitcoin on their platform than the mere $9 million locked in the Lightning Network’s payment channels, the latter is making inroads in developing nations as a payment network for small, low-cost bitcoin transactions. Unlike WBTC, which requires a professional custodian to hold the original locked bitcoin, Lightning users need not rely on a third party to open up a channel. It’s arguably more decentralized.
As is their wont, each faction described the growth of WBTC tokens, whose value is pegged one-to-one against a locked-up reserve of actual bitcoin, as proof of their coin’s superiority over the other. The Ethereum crowd said it showed that even BTC “hodlers” believe Ethereum-based applications provide a better off-chain transaction experience than platforms built on Bitcoin, such as Lightning or Blockstream’s Liquid. Bitcoiners, by contrast, took it as confirmation that people place greater value in the oldest, most valuable crypto asset, than in Ethereum’s ether token.
The latest saga in the cryptocurrency market and especially that related to the Ethereum is that the leading internet giant Google could have blacklisted “Ethereum” keyword from the company’s Ads platform. This comes after a Serbia –based blockchain startup, Decenter realized that the keyword ‘Ethereum’ can no longer be found on the Google Ads platform. The startup moved swiftly and made an announcement via Twitter where Google responded to the allegations almost instantly:
OF MONEY AND MYTHS. I’m reading Stephanie Kelton’s book “The Deficit Myth.” In a future edition of Money Reimagined, I’ll have more to say on the most influential modern monetary theory proponent’s explanation of its ideas. But for now I’ll just say that, while I’m not likely to be a convert to all its prescriptions, it seems clear that MMT is widely misunderstood by folks on both the left and the right – also, very much by the crypto industry. The latter is perhaps because people in crypto tend to skew more to the metallist school of money, rather than to chartalism. Either way, a clearer grasp of what MMT is all about would, I believe, help improve the industry’s discussion around government, money, trust and how blockchain-based systems can integrate with the existing one.

Yikes. Let’s not face this Jeff Weaver guy again, huh? Weaver pitched a five-hit shutout, showing exactly what happens when the Braves’ facing-a-guy-for-the-first-time jinx coincides with one of the better pitchers in baseball. It was pretty awful. Tonight the Braves get someone named “Maroth” I’ve never heard of; let’s hope things improve.

Following President Bush's announcement last week that a limited amount of stem cell research can take place in the US, a dispute has broken out between a patent agency and a California company involved in such research. The dispute is about future access to stem cell lines.
A lawsuit was launched earlier in the week against the Geron Corporation, which is being sued by the patent agency of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF). WARF is seeking to stop Geron from attempting to limit the Foundation's ability to work with other stem cell researchers.
Geron funded the original pioneering work on stem cells undertaken by James Thomson at the University of Wisconsin. Thomson has developed five stem cell lines from original embryos, all of which are patented. Geron was licensed by WARF to develop six cell types from these stem cell lines, and had an option to negotiate licenses for other cell types: this option ran out at the end of July, but Geron maintains that it still has rights under the option.
WARF's action was taken as it feared Geron would take court action to stop it working with other companies to develop additional cell types. John Wiley, Chancellor of the Wisconsin University said 'this action will ensure that future research is conducted in the public interest by preserving the broadest access to these original stem cell lines'.

CORBIN — The Corbin Redhound eighth grade team advanced to the Kentucky State Middle School playoffs regional title game with a 35-14 win Saturday over Pike County Central.
The Redhounds (11-1) got on the scoreboard early in the first quarter (a two-yard run by Tucker Jewell at the 6:19 mark) and never looked back during the 35-14 win.
Corbin racked up more than 200 yards rushing on the ground while Jaxon Stewart and A.J. Moore hooked up with a 21-yard touchdown during the contest.
“We didn’t know a whole lot about them, but we did know they had some good skilled athletes, but I thought, as usual, if we controlled the line of scrimmage we would be successful,” Corbin coach Brent Jackson said.
The Redhound offensive and defensive lines dominated the action throughout the game, as a 66-yard run with midway through the first quarter by Jewell set up a 14-yard touchdown run by Stewart with 3:51 remaining to make the score 14-0.
Stewart’s touchdown pass to Moore (whose interception during the first quarter in the endzone ended a Pike Central drive) increased the Redhound lead to 21-0 in the second quarter.
Drew Carter’s three-yard run with 32 seconds remaining in the first half gave Corbin a commanding 28-0 edge.
“I like the way we jumped out and played well early,” Jackson said. “We got after them and we kind of set the tone with that.”
Pike County Central managed to get on the scoreboard with 18 seconds left in the second quarter thanks to a kick-off return, but Corbin’s Dillon Brock raced 50-yards at the 2:42 mark in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. Pike County scored a touchdown with 36 seconds remaining in the game, but the damage had already been done, as the Redhounds wrapped up the 21-point victory.
“I guess if I had one drawback from this game, it’s that we have to keep coming,” Jackson said. “We’re going to have to face teams that are as big as us and as physical as us upfront and we’ve got to establish the line of scrimmage.
“I tell these guys That’s the main ingredient,” he added. “That opens everything else up. I preached to our kids that it’s one and done and they have to understand that. If we make this thing special and keep going, we’ve got to play every play and you don’t want to look back and say, ‘what if.’”

Minnesota: Ask your state senators to pass cannabis legalization!
Medical Cannabis and Decriminalized
States that have both a medical marijuana law and have removed jail time for possessing small amounts of marijuana
Minnesota House of Representatives votes to legalize cannabis, Senate fails to act
Last update: January 2, 2022
On May 13, 2021, the Minnesota House of Representatives voted to legalize cannabis in a 72-61 vote! This was the first time either chamber of the state legislature voted to legalize cannabis.
Unfortunately, however, the legislature adjourned its regular session two days later, with the Senate companion bill stalled in committee. When the legislature reconvenes its regular session on January 31, 2022, legislation picks up where it left off. Thus far, the Minnesota Senate’s Republican majority has refused to heed the will of voters and move bills to legalize cannabis. Until September 2021, the Senate was led by Paul Gazelka, who is strongly opposed to legalization. However, Gazelka stepped down to run for governor, and Senate Republicans chose a new leader — Jeremy Miller. It’s time to put pressure on the Senate to take up this popular bill and put an end the state’s wasteful and harmful war on cannabis.
Legalization would create tens of thousands of desperately needed jobs and hundreds of millions in tax revenue, and it would reduce unnecessary stops, searches, and arrests that unfairly and unequally target Black Minnesotans. A 2020 ACLU report shows Minnesota has the eighth worst racial disparities in the nation, with Black individuals 5.4 times as likely to be arrested for cannabis possession as whites, despite nearly identical use rates.
Minnesota’s medical cannabis program expands; legislature adds flower and smoking
In 2014, then-Governor Mark Dayton signed into law a medical cannabis program after insisting on modifications that made it extremely restrictive and that drive up the costs of medical cannabis.
Among the restrictions were: the qualifying conditions were exceptionally limited; raw/ flower cannabis was prohibited; medical professionals had greater burdens to participate; and the manufacturers/ dispensaries were extremely limited. Thanks to the work of advocates and the openness of regulators, the program has improved substantially since then but remains restrictive.
Local advocates, often with assistance from MPP, have petitioned the Minnesota Office of Medical Cannabis to add qualifying conditions. As a result, the program has slowly expanded. The law required the office to consider adding intractable pain, which it approved in 2015. Then, following the petition process, it added PTSD in 2016, obstructive sleep apnea and autism in late 2017, Alzheimer’s disease in 2018, chronic pain in 2019, and sickle cell disease and chronic motor or vocal tic disorder starting in August 2021. The health department also approved macular degeneration, but it was rejected by the legislature.
In May 2021, the legislature and Gov. Tim Walz approved allowing raw/ flower cannabis — including smoking — for adults 21 and older and expanded caregiver provisions.

MILTON, N.H. – Milton is a small New Hampshire town that knows how to safeguard its secrets – namely by losing the combination to one very large safe.
No one’s quite sure when the safe was last opened, but the town’s administrator and selectmen were determined to end the mystery of its contents.
So they hired a safecracker, Seacoast Lock and Safe owner Paul Letourneau. Letourneau says it took him three hours Thursday to drill through and reset the combination of the safe.
On a scale of 1-10, it was probably a seven, Letourneau said.
The safe was immediately closed and relocked so its contents could be unveiled and inventoried publicly Saturday morning.
Administrator Tony Mincu says he could see that the safe was chock-full but resisted the temptation to rifle its contents.
I didn’t want to ruin it for myself or anybody else, but it was tempting, Mincu said Friday.
The mystery of the safe’s contents has been the source of much speculation. The town’s Boston Post Cane – a gold-tipped cane from The Boston Post newspaper given each year to the town’s oldest resident – has been missing for decades.
It might be in there, mused Selectman Tom Gray. There’s talk around town that it’s in there.
When about a dozen local officials and residents gathered Saturday and the safe was finally opened, there was no Boston Post Cane, but a host of historical records were found: mortgage records dating back to 1858, when some properties sold for less than $100; old town meeting minutes; records of local soldiers sent to fight in World War I; papers in which intentions of marriage were recorded.
Gray was hoping to find a pot of gold to underwrite the new fire station the town covets.
There was no pot of gold; instead on the financial front, there was a 1959 budget ledger showing town spending that year at $205,000. It’s $3.2 million now.

“We’re showcasing the PDO from the Basque Country. So it’s 100 percent pure sheep’s milk, fresh-based aged cheese from the Basque Country. The one we’re showcasing today is aged up to a year with a natural rind,” Guillaume told me.
Out of all of the dairies in the Basque Country, Guillaume explained that Maison Agour is the last independent, family-owned company. According to him, the company is also the last of these dairies to age its cheeses on wood boards.
“We’re looking at a cheese made from sheep’s milk, so it’s got a high fat content and texture,” said Guillaume as we turned our attention to a local wine pairing. “So, we’re looking at something fresh, dry with a little bit of acidity, and our local wine Txakoli is perfect for it.”

New Delhi, September 16
Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Wednesday witnessed an indication of a bio-decomposer developed by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute to transform crop stubble into manure and stated if profitable, it would assist cut back air air pollution.
He stated he’ll focus on the approach, which entails spraying the decomposer on crop stubble, with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and later a piece plan might be developed for its implementation.
Every 12 months, Delhi’s air high quality plummets as farmers within the nationwide capital and neighbouring states burn agricultural stubble to clear their fields earlier than the onset of winter to sow the subsequent crop.
Farmers declare that setting their fields on hearth is the one economically viable answer to clear stubble earlier than the sowing season begins.
Rai stated the Delhi authorities will present the bio-decomposer to farmers freed from price.
“The cost of spraying the decomposer in fields will be borne by the Delhi government so that there is no financial burden on the farmers and an effective solution to the problem of stubble burning can be developed,” he stated.
The minister stated the Central authorities has devised a scheme below which subsidy is supplied to farmers for utilizing machines to clear crop stubble.
“I believe that the money spent on the purchase of machines and the subsidy can be used for the decomposition of stubble in these states. If successful, the technique will reduce smoke and air pollution,” he stated.
The Union Environment Ministry has a vital position to play on this initiative, he added.
Delhi faces air air pollution yearly in winter as a result of burning of crop stubble in neighbouring states, Rai stated.
“Punjab produces 20 million tonnes of crop stubble out of which 9 million tonnes was burnt last year. In Haryana, 1.23 million tonnes out of 7 million tonnes was burnt,” he claimed.
Rai stated the Delhi authorities will speak to the Union Environment Ministry and the governments of neighbouring Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh for coordination in implementing the bio-decomposer approach.
The Delhi authorities is eager to develop a sustainable and efficient answer to the problem of stubble burning that causes main air pollution in Delhi, particularly in the course of the winter season, he stated.
Last 12 months, stubble burning accounted for 44 per cent of Delhi’s air air pollution, he stated.
An official of the Indian Agricultural Research Institute stated it has obtained an advance order from the Uttar Pradesh authorities to reveal the approach on 25,000 hectares of land.
He stated round 10 firms are manufacturing the institute’s bio-decomposer on a big scale. PTI

Over the next four years, two of the four plots were exposed to a sudden rise in temperature during the second year of the experiment, a hike of almost 8 degrees Fahrenheit. The other two were the control group, and programmed to reproduce the weather conditions of the original site based on data recorded over the previous seven years.
In research published in Nature on Wednesday, scientists have found that plants and soil can take up to two years to recover from heat-waves, greatly reducing their carbon uptake.
The scientists carved out miniature eco systems in chambers about 8 feet by four feet with their plant communities and soil intact,in such a way that light, darkness, temperature and rainfall could be carefully controlled and levels of CO2 monitored.
They based the experiment on data from 150 years of weather history at the site, to duplicate heat-wave years, when temperatures had been between 2 and 7 degrees hotter, but without drought.
Arnone's team found that during this anomalously warm year and the year that followed, the two plots in the simulated heatwave conditions sucked up two-thirds less carbon than the ones that had been exposed to normal temperatures.
This is bad news for us, coming on the heels of related study published last year, one finding that carbon is no longer being stored by soil and the other, finding that the ocean's carbon sink is in decline.
This study reverses earlier findings published in 1999, that warming stimulates carbon storage at the ecosystem level, that were the basis for international carbon offset projects.
As a result, these findings throw in a new factor for calculating the value of natural sinks, which play a critical role in offsetting carbon emissions.
This is critical information, as this kind of calculation is used in deciding whether to fund forestry projects for use as carbon offsets rather than new clean energy projects such as wind farms. It is good news for wind farm funding, and that's great, but still, it is more scary news for our species overall.

These Top 5 Ransomware Tricks Have Wreaked Havoc On The Internet
Ransomware, the malicious and notorious malware that literally takes over your machines and demand money to release is on the rise. This cyber extortion has become a headache for the cybersecurity, because despite all checks in place, Ransomware is still able to make it big in their notorious activities.
The ransomware has doubled in the recent years and the money paid to release the machines is to the tune of 2 billion dollars. This figure is from last year, according to researchers at Bitdefender.
The last year 2017, nearly 70% of the business were hit by ransomware, and significantly more than half of the victims paid the money to get their machine released. Interestingly, the ransomware was paid despite the warning from experts not to pay because one is not sure if they will get the files back.
On seeing how the companies have no issues paying the ransom, cybercriminals have pushed their attack to the next level. The hacker is now designing new strategies to extort money, and developed a new lethal ransomware to create havoc in the cyber world.
Who can forget all the last year ransomware, some of the nastiest one is?
WannaCry that hit the cyber world on May 12, 2017, took the world by storm. Thousands of computers were choked, and data seized. Hundreds of businesses and their machines were affected. The victims were from all walks of life ranging from Banks, hospitals, telecommunication and more. Imagine a scene at the hospital where the computer is held for ransom, and the patient is waiting for his details.
WannaCry entered the system through Windows Server Message block protocol using the EternalBlue exploit. Once they get hold of the computer they would encrypt and lock the system and put up a message demanding anything from $300 and above to unlock the system.
One could have easily prevented WannaCry from taking over the system had they run the patch from Microsoft that was released a couple of months before WannaCry existed.
Only a month after WannaCry, another attack exploded, again hitting thousands of organizations and businesses in multiple countries.
After WannaCry the next big thing in the form of Ransomware was NotPetya, which again took thousands of organization and business for a ride. This happened in many countries.
No doubt this was the new version of the infamous Petya ransomware, that looked like a wiper worm that would permanently destroy the data if attacked, but instead it kept the data as a hostage for ransom.
NotPetya reached the Windows computer through a compromised update of accounting tool as well as phishing emails. The hackers used the earlier leaked NSA exploits to put this into effect. They also employed the credential stealing tool, which allowed them to spread the virus through the network from the affected system.
3. Bad Rabbit
As soon as the world finally recovered after the two major attacks, new ransomware dubbed Bad Rabbit hit Eastern Europe and many other countries around the world.
After the two successive ransomware attack, once again the world woke up to a new kind of ransomware called Bad Rabbit. This originated from Eastern Europe. This was a smart malware that spread its tentacles through malicious downloads. Popular websites were injected with malware dropper disguised as an Adobe Flash Installer, and the hackers would patiently wait for a user to download that installer.
Once the user installs the virus, he is found locked and not able to access his files. Then a message pops up asking him to pay the ransom and get the data back.
The frequent and successful ransomware that kept the cyberworld on its toes, and every time it returns it was stronger than before.
Locky finds its victim through spam campaigns, which nobody considered, and it was the easiest and the cheapest way to deliver malware. It urged the user to download an important document and enable macros. This resulted in losing the content of their computer and then the demand for ransom is made in exchange for the decryption key.
It may sound foolish, but one will be surprised how many users tend to fall for this phishing scam end up opening the malicious attachment and zip files.
Jaff ransomware is very similar to Locky. It is simple, but extremely successful. The only difference is that it demands a much higher fee for releasing encrypted files. The amount ranges to almost $4000 or equivalent to 1.79 Bitcoins.

According to Cashew Export Promotion Council of India (CEPCI), cashew exports from India fell almost by 7%.
Due to several constraints exports declined to 66,693 tonnes in 2018-19. The export of cashew kernels came down to 55272 million tonnes in 2018-2019 from 73,180 million tonnes in 2017-18. Raw cashew nut exports valued at 143.98 crores in 2018-19. Raw and salted cashew kernel exports valued at 160.35 crores in 2017-18 as against 95.05 crores in 2018-19. Cashew exports from India worth $644 million in 2018-19 compared to $944 million in previous year.
However, the cashew industry seeks to increase its export to 1.20 million tonnes in 2020.
India’s Cashew Industry
India is the largest producer of raw cashew, cashew kernel and has largest consumer market. The tropical evergreen climate of almost 17 states supports the growth of cashews. In addition, the industry strives to generate employment for 200 million man-days in the country. India is a major exporter of cashews and CEPCI is responsible for the affairs of export of cashews.
Cheaper Cashew Imports
The reason for decline in cashew exports from India is increased competition from foreign cashew producers. The cost of production in India is high at 900 per kg approximately. Above all, the imports have risen to such an extent that it cut outs all the export of cashews.
The secretary of CPECI stated that the imports are constantly bringing down the prices of domestic output of cashews. Further, Government changed the custom duty norms to levy duty on the imported plain cashews which were being sold in the name of salted ones. The action taken resulted in decrease of cashew production cost to 625 per kg.
Shutting Down of Cashew Processing Plants
The reduction in export of cashews and increase in imports has resulted in decreased profitability and decline in employment for large number of people in the industry. There are reports of cashew plants shutting down throughout India due to low demand in foreign markets for Indian cashews. In addition, foreign exchange volatility played a major role in reduction in exports. Unable to sustain expenses and depleted margins, cashew processing plants are shutting down throughout India.
In conclusion, despite government’s efforts to bring down the imports, no significant change is observed. However, government intervention in imports of cashews is likely to boost the production. Cashew exports from India likely to pick up in the coming months.

“Being invisible and underappreciated takes its toll. The past few years have been especially difficult for our sector.

And as so many nonprofits are often stuck in survival mode, you sometimes don’t see yourselves, even as your efforts continuously build safe, caring, vibrant communities.” Read more.

Building A Practice Focused On Podiatric Sports Medicine
- Volume 26 - Issue 12 - December 2013

You should be able to discuss current issues and trends objectively with your patients, such as barefoot versus shod running, childhood obesity, basic nutrition principles, and the benefits of exercise, weight training, stretching and strengthening and prevention of injuries. Evidence-based sports medicine is also important to keep up on by reading sports medicine journals and attending conferences.
A Guideline For Returning Patients To Activity
Return-to-activity guidelines are an important part of your practice. The level, age, fitness and motivation of the athlete are just several important considerations in coming up with a return to activity plan.
I am careful to under-promise and over-deliver. This will make your patients happier and more satisfied with your treatment program and return to activity if they return sooner than expected. An example would be when dealing with an inversion ankle sprain in a high school athlete. You could tell him or her that it may be as long as six to eight weeks to return to athletic participation, depending on how well he or she complies with exercises and rehabilitation, uses taping or bracing, etc. If the athlete returns in four weeks, he or she is very satisfied with your care. It is basically a good idea to overestimate a return to activity date because if athletes take a longer time than estimated, they can become frustrated.
Why It Is Worth Getting Involved In Professional Sports Organizations
It is very important to be an active member in sports medicine organizations. I found that the two most useful organizations for developing my podiatric sports medicine practice were the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine (AAPSM) and the American College of Sports Medicine. Both organizations have Fellow status, networking opportunities, professional meetings and the ability to get involved on numerous levels. I encourage students and young practitioners to get involved as early as they can.
The AAPSM also offers post-graduate fellowship opportunities. You can also provide lectures at your medical staff meetings on a variety of sports medicine topics and the AAPSM provides an excellent referral source in your community.

Suri’s Burn Book. This blog was introduced to me last Friday in the link love post of my blogger friend Victoria of vmac+cheese. If you are a shameless lover of celebrities, pop-culture icons and their children this blog will not disappoint you. I read every single one of the blog’s posts on Friday. I was lol-ing all over the place. To sum it up as eloquently as possible, the author describes the blog as: “A study in Suri and the celebrities who disappoint her.” The content is hysterical. Hysterical and mildly offensive. Just for kicks (it’s Monday you know) I’m pasting a few of my favorite quips from SBB:
I am concerned that if Haven Warren (Jessica Alba’s new baby) and Penelope Athena Richmond (Tina Fey’s) ever become friends, there will be trouble. Born only three days apart and with names like these, I’m worried they could end up starting a Renaissance fair or a candle store or a witch coven.
On Thursday, I put paste all over my hands just so I could peel it off when it dried.
I would believe it if I heard that Mr. and Mrs. Smith are only staying together because Willow is just way too much work for one person. I love her like a sister, but most of the time, I just hate her so much.
Well, look who it is: Shiloh Jolie-Pitt behaving like a raving lunatic aboard the London Eye while sister Zahara pats her leg and says, “Maybe you should get down and close your mouth now. You’re embarrassing the bejesus out out me.”
Last but not least, the quote that’s part of the blog’s header pretty much kills me: “Just because you don’t have a Ferragamo handbag doesn’t mean you can behave like a child. (I’m looking at you Shiloh.)” Here’s the thing, you have to picture each post as if the real 5-year-old Suri Cruise is writing/saying it or else the magic just doesn’t work. But I mean, the child drinks Starbucks in fur, wears heels, and swings Hermes bags with abandon – it’s hard not to wonder what she thinks of her “peers” and her parents…

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
Book II of the internationally best-selling Tales of the Otori trilogy, a sweeping saga set in a mythical, medieval Japan.
In Book I of the Otori trilogy, Across the Nightingale Floor, Lian Hearn created a wholly original, fully-realized fantasy world where great powers clashed and young love dawned against a dazzling and mystical landscape. Nightingale was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year, one of Book magazine's best novels of the year, and one of School Library Journal's Best Adult Books for High School Readers.
In this second tale, we return to the story of Takeo—the young orphan taken up by the Otori Lord and now a closely held member of the Tribe—and his beloved Shirakawa Kaede, heir to the Maruyama, who must find a way to unify the domain she has inherited. In a complex social hierarchy, amid dissembling clans and fractured alliances, there is no place for passionate love. Yet Takeo and Kaede, drawing on their unusual talents and hidden strengths, find ways both to nurture their intense personal bond and to honor the best interests of their people.
Like its predecessor, Grass for His Pillow is a transcendent work of storytelling—epic in scope, shimmering with imagination, and graced in equal measure with rapturous writing and exhilarating action.

This step by step guide shows how to turned on the Load Balancing feature and configured a limit (Max Station Number = 1) on connecting only one client to the wireless access point. Why, despite the settings, more than one client can connect to this access point?
Wireless Load Balancing, a wireless load balancing function, is designed to delay client responses when an access point is overloaded. At the same time, new customers will be able to connect to this access point.
But let's take a closer look at the Disassociate station when overloaded parameter (Disable client when access point is overloaded) in the Load Balancing settings.
The Disassociate station when overloaded mechanism on the access point works as follows:
1. When the access point is overloaded, it checks the idle time on the connected clients and selects the station with the largest idle time value as the client to disconnect.
2. If the access point cannot determine the highest idle time, then the system will allocate the station with the weakest signal level for shutdown.
3. If the selected station meets the above conditions, i.e. it has the longest idle time and the weakest signal level, but it is already present in the special internal buffer "kicked cache" on the device (this means that the station has already been selected as a client to disconnect), in this case the access point will detect another station to turn off.
If a particular station is always connected to only one access point, this station will not be selected to disconnect from that access point.


Fatal Anderson crash involving deputy under investigation
The South Carolina Highway Patrol has begun reconstructing a fatal crash involving an Anderson County deputy responding to an emergency call, authorities said Sunday.
Frances Elaine Smith, 45, of Seneca, was killed when the deputy's police cruiser crashed into a pick-up truck she was riding in Friday just before midnight on Clemson Boulevard, Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said.
The driver and another passenger inside the pickup truck were transported to AnMed hospital after authorities had to use mechanical means to extract them, Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Tony Keller said.
The three were driving into town when the deputy lost control of a marked Ford Crown Victoria traveling through the intersection Clemson Boulevard and the East-West Connector and crossed the center line, Shore said.
The deputy, along with a reserved deputy inside the car, were responding to an emergency call at the Royal American Inn on Clemson Boulevard near Interstate 85, Shore said.
The road was wet, but Shore said he wasn't sure if it had been raining at the time.
The deputy and reserve deputy were taken to AnMed with serious injuries, Shore said. The deputy was released from the hospital, and the reserve deputy remained hospitalized Sunday, Anderson County Sheriff's Lt. Sheila Cole said.
Cole that the deputies were on their way to back up another officer at the Royal American Inn when the crash happened.
Cole referred questions about the crash, including how fast the cruiser was traveling, to the Highway Patrol.

The European Commission has approved a Cypriot voucher scheme for €12 mln to help households have better access to high-speed broadband services to foster the country’s digital transformation.
According to an announcement, the scheme supports the take-up of broadband services over the existing infrastructure, ensuring wider availability of high-speed broadband services.
The scheme will run until 30 June 2025 and be partially funded via the Resilience and Recovery Facility following the Commission’s positive assessment of the Cypriot Recovery and Resilience Plan.
The aid will take the form of vouchers for households that do not have a subscription to a connection providing at least 100 megabits per second (Mbps) download speed.
It will cover part of the set-up costs and the first 12 months of subscription to broadband services providing at least 200 Mbps download speeds.
The scheme is expected to benefit approximately 82,000 households.
All broadband service providers capable of providing the services will be eligible under the measure.
Executive Vice-President in charge of competition policy Margrethe Vestager said that the scheme would ensure citizens can access high-speed broadband services.
“This will contribute to Cyprus’ economic development and social cohesion while ensuring that competition is not unduly distorted.”
The Commission assessed the scheme, which allows Member States to support the development of certain economic activities under certain conditions.
It found the scheme necessary to address a market failure, namely the slow take-up of eligible broadband services by households in Cyprus.
Even though networks able to provide high-speed broadband services are widely available in Cyprus and despite households’ growing needs, data shows that Cypriot households’ take-up of such services continues to be relatively low.
According to the assessment, the measure has an incentive effect since connectivity and access to broadband services would not be facilitated to the same extent without public support.
Also, it has been found that the scheme has sufficient safeguards to ensure that undue distortions of competition are limited and that the aid does not have undue negative effects on competition and trade in the EU.
The Cypriot scheme will enter into force in January.


Trader Joe’s is the latest retailer to make its way into the world of non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. The grocery chain recently announced it would accept a limited edition NFT in exchange for a physical item at one of its stores in Brooklyn, New York.
It’s not just blockchain technology that Trader Joe’s is taking a step toward, but also the Ethereum ecosystem. The company has launched an ‘Ethereum-based NFT’ called TZERO – meaning it’s an ERC-721 token on the Ethereum blockchain. This isn’t the first time Trader Joe’s has experimented with cryptocurrencies; they already accept bitcoin payments in their physical stores as well as online through BitPay. Additionally, you can use Amazon Pay to purchase groceries at any of their locations which are then shipped to your house (but I guess this only applies if you live in California).
Trader Joe Makes A Positive Start
The trader gave away their first batch of TZERO tokens by sending them out via email blast to all customers who had purchased products from them within two weeks prior to launch day on November 1st 2019 and again on December 1st 2019…
According to the YouTuber, he purchased the NFT at a Trader Joe’s in Los Angeles. The physical item that can be redeemed with the NFT is a limited edition bottle of craft beer from Firestone Walker called “Pivo Pils.”
The grocery Youtuber who posted the find on Twitter claims that it was available for sale on August 29th, 2019 as a limited edition product. According to his tweet, this will be available until August 20th, 2020; however, there is no evidence that this is true or where he got his information from (it may have just been speculation).
The acronym NFT stands for “non-fungible token,” which refers to a digital asset that has the same value as a physical one. This means that each NFT token can be exchanged for something of equal value. In this case, the limited edition Trader Joe’s Crypto-candy will be redeemable for an actual candy bar (and it looks like it’ll be delicious).


When the opportunity came up for me to review “Everything is Alright” by Burning Bridget Cleary, I jumped right on it. This Philadelphia based act has been performing in and around the Lehigh Valley for quite some time, but I had only watched them perform a few times up until the time of this review. I figured it was time that I gave these “local” musicians an honest listen.
After receiving the album, I gave it a number of listens. The first time through I was pleasantly surprised. I was more impressed with every listen thereafter. While I largely migrate towards Celtic Rock and Punk, I found myself rather blown away by Burning Bridget Cleary.
“Everything is Alright” which is the second of 3 full-length albums, is an excellent mix of traditional, original and cover songs. The composition of this album is only surpassed by the abilities of the performers, who despite their youth are very accomplished musicians. Burning Bridget Cleary bring as much energy to this album as they do their live performances (minus the bad jokes ? ) and are not a band to be overlooked. Look for them at a number of festivals this Summer, most notably Celtic Fling in Manheim, PA, MusikFest in Bethlehem, PA and Irish 2000 in Albany, NY.

CHICAGO (CBS) — A 14-year-old boy and a pregnant woman are among three people shot when bullets started flying in Chatham Friday evening.
Someone in a passing car fired shots at 82nd and Drexel just before 6 p.m.
The woman and a man were taken to the University of Chicago Hospital. The teen was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital. All of the victims are in serious to critical condition.


The Ioniq 5 N is Hyundai's first high-performance EV and it packs a whopping 600hp
Who says electric cars can't be fun? Certainly not Hyundai, and certainly not Hyundai's new Ioniq 5 N – the company's first-ever high-performance electric car.
Essentially, the Ioniq 5 N is the souped-up version of the Ioniq 5 that was made available in Singapore earlier this year.
Power has been increased dramatically to the tune of 600hp. And there's even an "N Grin Boost" mode that boosts the power to 641hp for 10 seconds.
With this mode activated, it can get from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds. The top speed is a very respectable 260km/h.
We already know EVs can get really fast, but what makes the Ioniq 5 N different from other fast EVs is how you can get it to sound and behave like a traditional ICE car.
To start there are selectable sound modes, and one of them emulates the sound of the turbocharged four-cylinder found in Hyundai's very own Elantra N or Kona N.
And on top of that, there are even simulated gearshifts. By very cleverly and quickly cutting power to the motor, the Ioniq 5 N can mimic the feeling and behaviour of a car with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Yes, it's all fakery, but at least it addresses the lack of engagement that plagues so many fast EVs. Hyundai should definitely be applauded for daring to be different and taking these risks.
The Ioniq 5 N retains all the practicality of the standard Ioniq 5. The boot remains large and to ensure the range isn't too heavily compromised by the more powerful motors, it has a larger 84kWh battery (up from 77.4kWh). Hyundai hasn't shared range estimates but it's largely expected to be in the region of around 350km.
Availability and pricing
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N will go on sale in early 2024. Pricing has yet to be determined but it will likely start at around US$60,000 to US$70,000.

Uptown police greeted a major takedown of two Harlem youth crews early Wednesday with applause, but maintained attacking quality-of-life offenses is still on the top of their to-do list.
Hours after helmet-clad NYPD Gang Unit investigators flooded the Grant and Manhattanville Houses, arresting more than 100 suspected hoodlums on conspiracy charges, cops insisted that Harlem and Washington Heights are as safe as they have been in decades.
Violent crimes north of 59th St. in Manhattan dropped 6% in 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, according to NYPD data. The murder count has remained flat — tallying seven so far this year, the same amount noted through the first five months of 2013. The area also counted 28 shooting victims — a 12% reduction from the period in 2013.
"Precinct commanders' concerns have more to do with quality-of-life issues than there used to be," said one high-ranking Manhattan police source. "It used to be murders and robberies."
Cops these days spend more of their time tracking down identity thieves, nabbing reckless cyclists and motorists, and telling rowdy residents to quiet down.
"Noise is a hard problem to control," a second police source said.
There hasn't been a murder in the 34th Precinct, encompassing Washington Heights and Inwood, so far this year, according to NYPD data.
"We are seeing more people hit by cars than bullets," said another police source. "Still, it's a life lost. We have to pay attention."
During a recent community meeting in central Harlem, where the number of shootings has dropped by 40% in 2014, residents made more noise about the graying ne'er-do-wells who blare their boom boxes on W. 131st St. than they did about gunplay.
Jabari Osaze, whose brownstone is across the street from the St. Nicholas Houses, said he dialed 311 more than 200 times over the past two years to scream about loud music in the housing development.
He has called the cops about a dozen times during the same period to complain about drug dealers peddling vice.
"Noise and trash is a major problem," said Osaze, an eight-year resident. "There is still drugs and guns, but that has calmed down."
Police brass said the lull in violence has allowed them to focus on long-term probes aimed at ridding the streets of firearms. NYPD gang investigators and the Manhattan District Attorney's Office spent months plotting Wednesday's sweep of the Grant and Manhattanville Houses.
The 2011 murder of teen basketball star Tayshana (Chicken) Murphy, shot by local gang bangers in the Grant Houses, pushed officials to crack down on uptown's still-percolating pistol problem.
Still, the streets are not free of flying bullets.
A gunman driving a white SUV shot three .40-caliber slugs into the air around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday on bustling Dyckman St., in front of Mamajuana Cafe in Inwood, a police source said. No one was injured. Cops are still investigating the incident.

Air Prang is probably one of the most interesting sites at Lembeh Strait.
The name literally means 'War Water', referring to the jetty offering fresh water from an uphill aquifer, exploited by the Japanese during WW2.
This is an expansive shallow sand slope, more popular for night diving, especially when strong rising tides limit the possible options elsewhere in the middle section of the strait.
Good for Octopus species and recently popular for three Rhinopias found in the rubble sections on the Northern end of the site, but the barren terrain and low density of critters mean that it sees far fewer divers compared to the muck sites to its north. One highlight is the Bobbit Worm, commonly seen on night dives.

Animal populations have plunged an average of 68% since 1970, as humanity pushes the planet’s life support systems to the edge
Wildlife populations are in freefall around the world, driven by human overconsumption, population growth and intensive agriculture, according to a major new assessment of the abundance of life on Earth.
On average, global populations of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles plunged by 68% between 1970 and 2016, according to the WWF and Zoological Society of London (ZSL)’s biennial Living Planet Report 2020. Two years ago, the figure stood at 60%.
The research is one of the most comprehensive assessments of global biodiversity available and was complied by 134 experts from around the world. It found that from the rainforests of central America to the Pacific Ocean, nature is being exploited and destroyed by humans on a scale never previously recorded.
The analysis tracked global data on 20,811 populations of 4,392 vertebrate species. Those monitored include high-profile threatened animals such as pandas and polar bears as well as lesser known amphibians and fish. The figures, the latest available, showed that in all regions of the world, vertebrate wildlife populations are collapsing, falling on average by more than two-thirds since 1970.
Robin Freeman, who led the research at ZSL, said: “It seems that we’ve spent 10 to 20 years talking about these declines and not really managed to do anything about it. It frustrates me and upsets me. We sit at our desks and compile these statistics but they have real-life implications. It’s really hard to communicate how dramatic some of these declines are.”
Latin America and the Caribbean recorded the most alarming drop, with an average fall of 94% in vertebrate wildlife populations. Reptiles, fish and amphibians in the region were most negatively affected, driven by the overexploitation of ecosystems, habitat fragmentation and disease.
Africa and the Asia Pacific region have also experienced large falls in the abundance of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles, dropping 65% and 45% respectively. Europe and central Asia recorded a fall of 24%, while populations dropped 33% on average in North America. To form the Living Planet Index (LPI), akin to a stock market index of wildlife, more biodiverse parts of the world, such as tropical regions, are given more weighting.
Experts said the LPI was further evidence of the sixth mass extinction of life on Earth, with one million species at risk because of human activity, according to the UN’s global assessment report in 2019. Deforestation and the conversion of wild spaces for human food production have largely been blamed for the destruction of Earth’s web of life.
The report highlights that 75% of the Earth’s ice-free land has been significantly altered by human activity, and almost 90% of global wetlands have been lost since 1700.
Mike Barrett, executive director of conservation and science at WWF, said: “Urgent and immediate action is necessary in the food and agriculture sector. All the indicators of biodiversity loss are heading the wrong way rapidly. As a start, there has got to be regulation to get deforestation out of our supply chain straight away. That’s absolutely vital.”
Tanya Steele, chief executive at WWF, said: “We are wiping wildlife from the face of the planet, burning our forests, polluting and over-fishing our seas and destroying wild areas. We are wrecking our world – the one place we call home – risking our health, security and survival here on Earth.”
Sir David Attenborough said that humanity has entered a new geological age – the anthropocene – where humans dominate the Earth, but said it could be the moment we learn to become stewards of our planet.
“Doing so will require systemic shifts in how we produce food, create energy, manage our oceans and use materials. But above all it will require a change in perspective,” he wrote in a collection of essays accompanying the report.
“The time for pure national interests has passed, internationalism has to be our approach and in doing so bring about a greater equality between what nations take from the world and what they give back. The wealthier nations have taken a lot and the time has now come to give.”

Forgotten crops are the cereals, grains, seeds, fruits, nuts, vegetables, and legumes
that have been neglected by technology, markets, global food manufacturers, and
funding bodies. Plants like pigeon pea, amaranth, moringa, kedondong berry, and
bambara groundnuts can be put into this category. These crops are not new
discoveries, they are indigenous crops that have been around for centuries.
Researchers are now trying to unbind the potential of these ignored crops. There are centres like Crop Trust, Slow Food, ICRISAT, and Biodiversity International that are dedicated to underutilised crops. In the Malaysian countryside, at the headquarters of Crops for the Future (CFF), scientists are experimenting on forgotten crops of Malaysia, like the kedondong berry and winged beans. They are turned into effervescent and sugar free juices. These plants are also grown under bright yellow lights to study the impact of high temperature on them, hence, getting them accustomed to the rising global temperatures, which would help them be the ‘future crops’.
Although largely absent from the global food trade and development initiatives, the majority of forgotten crops are a safety net for the livelihoods of rural and urban populations across the world. For instance, pigeon pea is a perennial (for more than 2 years) legume that is mostly grown and consumed in Africa and India. These plants are drought resistant and they also contribute to nitrogen fixation. Millets, which have been cultivated since the dawn of agriculture, are nutrient rich cereals largely grown in African and Asian countries. Amaranth, which is mainly grown in Central America, has high nutritional value, is drought resistant and has the ability to produce grains within a relatively shorter period of time.
As we face the present and future challenges of achieving food security, forgotten crops can play a vital role as nutritious food sources for poor farmers and urban communities, and can help consumers around the world enjoy diverse diets and rich culinary cultures that contribute to societal wellbeing. They can also help make cropping systems and human communities more resilient to the external shocks generated by climate change, at all geographical scales. Forgotten crops will help countries to reduce their reliance on major imported crops and their carbon heavy supply chains. Food variety will also help boost food security. There are over 20,000 species of edible plants in the world and yet only 20 species are used for 90% of the world’s food. However, the success of crops like quinoa is a welcome change.
There is a growing concern regarding health and nutrition everywhere. People’s food priorities are changing. Climate change is going to affect taste and diet. Reviving the orphan crops is a timely quest as dietary diversification is evidently critical to the future of humanity.

I do like the Arabica beans from Batangas region I just picked up a half kilo at our larger grocery store today the price was up there 550 a kilo they ground it at the grocery store.
We do the same - locally roasted arabica beans from Cordillera I think.. They have a medium or dark roast for 600p per Kg. Buy a half kilo at a time. I'm lazy and have them grind it. It's not quite as good as the espresso machine I use in the States but not bad. Definitely better than instant and I don't go to Starbucks although I will go to Bo's Coffee or Coffee Bean once in a while.

I’ve said this before but the absolute first step is to avoid panicking! The new coronavirus, or COVID-19, still has a lot of unknowns but the good news is that it is mild in about 80% of patients.
Let’s start with the facts (keep in mind these facts are constantly changing as we get new information regarding the outbreak and characteristics of the virus itself.
COVID-19 emerged in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China.
The known cases of infection globally are currently totaling around 80,000 – the actual number is likely much higher.
About 80% of cases are mild.
Almost 3000 deaths have been attributed to this virus.
It is estimated that the death rate with this virus is around 2%.
Those who do unfortunately succumb to the virus are typically the elderly or those with chronic health conditions.
There is community spread in numerous countries now including Italy, Iran, Germany, South Korea, Japan and others.
There are 57 people currently in the US with confirmed cases, thousands more are being monitored or are in quarantine either at home or on military bases.
The virus is not believed to be currently spreading in the US as all confirmed cases have so far been contained.
The CDC is stating that we should expect “significant disruptions” to our everyday life – so what does this mean? Just like when there a major flu outbreaks schools sometimes shut down, non-essential workers are asked to stay home and major events may be cancelled – this will probably happen with COVID-19. This is an effort called “social distancing,” the idea is to limit social interaction to slow the spread of the virus.
Once community spread is occurring in the US, you should follow the advice of the CDC and state health departments. This will likely be to stay home if you feel ill, avoid unnecessary social interaction and practice good basic hygiene – hand washing. While a recommendation to wash your hands may sound silly and even a little insulting, it truly is the best way to prevent infection, and you’d be surprised how many people do not wash their hands regularly. If you do feel ill, don’t immediately rush to an ER or Urgent Care – these facilities will likely be overwhelmed and if you don’t have the virus you will likely be exposing yourself to it anyways. If you feel ill, call your primary doctor and ask what they suggest you do – they may say to come in to confirm the diagnosis or if the virus is very widespread they may just tell you to stay home and call again if you feel worse. If you feel ill and are having difficulty breathing or it feels significantly worse than a mild cold/flu then seek medical attention right away.
What should you do NOW? Talk to your employer, your kids’ school or daycare and your family. Come up with a plan for childcare if school will be closing, find out if your employer will allow you to work from home. Just having these discussions can help you and your family feel more prepared and safe. If you have elderly or ill family members come up with a plan to minimize their contact with others – do their grocery shopping, cancel unnecessary activities and even if you are not ill, wash your hands frequently when you visit!
