Over the next few months, high school students will design an airplane cockpit seat, and produce it on a 3-D printer, from inside their North Charleston classroom.
R.B. Stall High School is one of six high schools in the state participating in a pilot program to introduce aerospace engineering to students.
Some high schools already offer aerospace or engineering courses. But this four-course curriculum is more robust, said Adrianne Beasley, aerospace initiatives director for the S.C. Council on Competitiveness, an industry advocacy group.
Educators and industry leaders say they hope the new program will interest more students in aerospace careers and will set them up for further education or training.
The state’s growing aerospace sector demands more workers. Boeing S.C. builds three Dreamliner derivatives in North Charleston, employing more than 7,000 people at its Lowcountry operations. Aerospace giant Lockheed Martin modifies and repairs military and civilian aircraft in Greenville County. Suppliers throughout the state continually expand, such as GKN Aerospace in Orangeburg County and Safran in Ladson, both of which make parts for Boeing jets.
The courses are for students who want to learn how airplanes and spacecraft are designed, built and flown. Students need a strong math background; algebra is often a prerequisite.
Stall Principal Jeremy Carrick said the curriculum can help students decide whether to pursue a career in aerospace.
“Finding out what you do not want to do is just as important as finding out what you do want to do,” Carrick said.
Students will not receive a certificate for completion of the four courses — although that is an eventual goal. Beasley said students will graduate with a solid foundation of aerospace concepts, readying them for further study.
Edisto High School, in the Orangeburg County town of Cordova, is another school offering the curriculum. Principal Michael Ames said he wants graduates either to be ready for a two-year or four-year college program or to have the skills to make them employable and trainable at an aerospace company.
“Kids need to come out of school with these skills so they can be employed right away, especially at a school like ours, a very rural school,” Ames said. “Not all of our kids will go to a two- or four-year school, so they’ve got to be equipped to hit the workforce.”
S.C. Aerospace — a partnership among the state Commerce Department, Council on Competitiveness and industry executives — talked with aviation-related companies across the state in recent years about challenges they face.
Students’ lack of long-term focus on science, technology, engineering and math was a major concern. Steve Townes, president and CEO of Ranger Aerospace in Greenville, pushed the state to establish an aerospace-themed high school.
“It was perplexing that we’d become one of the fastest-growing states in the aerospace industry, yet we didn’t even have one,” Townes said.
In response, S.C. Aerospace gathered 35 educators to evaluate existing aerospace courses in S.C. schools and search for a new curriculum. The four-course program they landed on was developed by the Southern Regional Education Board, an Atlanta-based nonprofit organization that works to improve public education in its 16 member states.
Aerospace companies and educators evaluated the materials, and the state Education Department approved them.
In addition to the six participating high schools in South Carolina, the program is launching in nine schools across the country — three in Ohio, two in Alabama, two in North Carolina and one each in Delaware and West Virginia.
Brad Nickles, principal of Emerald High School in Greenwood, said he hopes the courses will give his students a jump-start in the field.
“We can create a pool of very efficient employees that are ready to go,” Nickles said. “These jobs could be generational changers for some of our communities.”
How it works
The state’s Education Department designated a $50,000 grant for each participating school in South Carolina, to cover teacher training and equipment purchases such as software, 3-D printers, wind tunnel models, laser cutters and laptops.
Teachers spent two weeks in Atlanta this summer undergoing training from NASAand Georgia Tech instructors to ready themselves to teach on the same equipment and software used in aerospace plants today.
Students will learn aerospace engineering principles and present projects to industry representatives, said James Stephens, executive director of the S.C. Aeronautics Commission and chairman of the S.C. Aerospace Education Working Group. Classes can have up to 24 students, though many are smaller.
The new curriculum expands R.B. Stall’s existing offerings, which include an aerospace engineering course through Project Lead the Way, a national nonprofit focused on increasing STEM classes in schools.
The high school previously offered an aircraft manufacturing course taught by industry professionals, but the model did not work. Carrick said the real-life perspective was valuable for students, but he said students often need an instructor with a teaching background to handle various learning styles and paces.
“It’s a total shift in taking someone who is an expert in aircraft manufacturing or aerospace engineering and trying to convert them into a high school classroom, to taking a STEM-certified teacher and sending them to get specifically trained on these modules,” he said. “This model is much easier.”
Carrick said the new aerospace pilot program overcomes two of the hurdles schools face when implementing workforce-specific courses — finding certified teachers and securing funding for equipment and training.
This model paid for equipment from the start, and a math teacher and science teacher from Stall attended the training. Currently, around 70 students at the high school are enrolled in the aerospace curriculum.
‘A well-paid job for life’
The new aerospace engineering courses also expand Battery Creek High School’sexisting aviation program in its new Advanced Technical Center in Beaufort County. Principal Chad Cox said the new curriculum comes at an opportune time for students because of the demand for skilled aerospace workers.
The average salary at a private-sector aerospace employer in South Carolina is about $70,000 a year, according to S.C. Aerospace, though salaries vary depending on position and skill level.
Ken Hitchcock, director of Pickens County Career and Technology Center, said he wants interested students who enter the program to leave it being able to envision themselves building planes at Boeing or working in space with NASA.
Many educators said the aerospace courses could help students find jobs in the communities they grew up in.
“We have so many kids that leave here because there are not a lot of economic opportunities, or they’re not prepared for what is offered here,” Ames said.
Officials hope the pilot program will expand over time, ensuring enough S.C. graduates will have the needed skills to fill future aerospace jobs in the state, rather than pulling so many workers from out of state.
“These courses not only prepare students for postsecondary success but also teach them critical skills needed to fill jobs in one of our state’s most thriving industries,” S.C. Education Superintendent Molly Spearman said in a statement.
Townes, who is also the chairman of S.C. Aerospace, said implementing the aerospace curriculum in six high schools is a strong start, but he wants to see the state’s technical colleges partner with high schools statewide to grow the program.
He said such an initiative would attract more aerospace suppliers and manufacturers to the state, as well as set students up for careers in the field.
“For young people who may be attracted to this high-tech, steadily growing industry, I can tell you that if you learn skills to work on or around airplanes, it’s likely you’ll have a well-paid job for life,” Townes said.

Women with disabilities have the same biological risks as other women for developing breast, cervical and colorectal cancer, yet these women are routinely under-screened. The current research indicates that barriers to effective screening for women with disabilities include lack of knowledge among these women of the need for preventive screening, neglect on the part of healthcare providers, and physical access barriers (Nosek, Young and Rintala, 1995; Welner, 1998).
The prior research, while providing convincing testimonials as to the experiences of women with disabilities, has failed to capture the diversity that exists, nor reflect the experiences of women with disabilities from diverse backgrounds.
The goal of this project is to determine the cancer screening needs of women with mobility disabilities and the gaps and barriers associated with accessing these services. This will be situated within an urban Canadian centre and we will strive to reflect its demographic and experiential diversity.
Please post this Call for Participants flyer in your agency or send it to colleagues who work with women who have mobility disabilities.
If interested please contact Tara Geraghty, Community Outreach and Research Coordinator for the project, at (416) 440-3330 x241 or firstname.lastname@example.org.

I am an avid reader of d/g fics on various websites and I can't seem to get enough of them!
My only completed story, Fallen, is posted here. Each chapter is inspired by a song on the Evanescence album - Fallen, but I wouldn't call it a song fic. This story has been posted for a while but I'd love to hear any ideas you guys have for it because I have already started rewriting the story due to the complete OOC-ness of Draco. I have come to realize since I started writing that there are a lot of things that I can improve in the first half of the story...
Needless to say, start watching for an updated version of Fallen.
I've tried to post the sequel... but they won't post it here because there's too much about Harry in it - but it's an integral part of the story, which you'll see if you read it at fanfiction.net: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2027385/1/
Hope you guys will check it out - don't worry the whole story IS focused on d/g!
Ginny is tired of waiting around for Harry to notice her; she’s sinking into a depression and decides she doesn’t want her life to revolve around him anymore. One day she seeks help in the unlikeliest person, and the relationship evolves into something unexpected.

In the end, reflected Michael S. Conte, MD, “it’s not the evidence.” The leading vascular surgeon and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) expert made the bold statement during the recent 2023 VEITHsymposium (Nov. 14–18) as he pointedly asked a room full of colleagues: what is behind the trend that appears to show tibial interventions for intermittent claudication are growing?
The question of whether or not the practice carries a reasonable risk or, rather, if the risks “exceed the benefits” has long lingered, the chief of vascular and endovascular surgery at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) told the New York City gathering.
Ultimately, the preponderance of the data, Conte said, suggests the latter.
So what of those reasons behind the recent trend?
Conte, finding his rhythm, first turned to datasets outlining pattern of use.
Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) data from 2003–2018 demonstrated that about 11% of claudication interventions involved infrapopliteal arteries, with isolated infrapopliteal interventions or combined interventions associated with a higher risk for major amputation compared to femoropopliteal interventions alone, he said. “This finding was particularly true in patients with diabetes,” Conte added.
Then to some of the factors potentially responsible: One research group looked at the influence of a competitive marketplace and found that working in an area with high market competition seemed to be associated with a higher rate of using tibial interventions—particularly atherectomy—for claudication patients. “I guess, if you have a lot of competition around you, you may be prone to be more aggressive in the patients that you treat; these data seem to imply that competition in the area affects the utilization of tibial interventions in claudicants,” Conte said.
He moved onto Medicare data from 2017–2019. “Now you can see the numbers are a little bit different: 28% of all claudication interventions involved infrapopliteal arteries, and of these more than a third were isolated infrapopliteal and about a third were multiple tibial arteries,” Conte continued. “This pattern was more prevalent in patients who are Black, Hispanic and who had kidney disease.” He delved deeper, pointing to evidence showing that the providers who were associated with higher use were more likely to be early-career interventionalists or surgeons, in the western half of the U.S., in higher volume practices, more often based at ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) or office-based labs (OBLs), and more commonly interventionalists versus vascular surgeons.
Conte then turned to recent VQI-VISION (Vascular Implant Surveillance and Interventional Outcomes Network) data on patients who received infrapopliteal interventions, presented at last year’s VAM.
“You can see looking downstream that the risk of conversion to chronic limb-threatening ischemia [CLTI] was significantly higher among patients who underwent tibial interventions versus patients who had isolated femoropopliteal interventions for claudication—and the risk of needing repeat interventions was significantly higher, suggesting that patients getting these procedures are being placed at greater risk for deterioration of their disease and multiple additional procedures,” he explained.
As the data pile up, and many have questioned the wisdom of such interventions, Conte asked: “Are we really doing the right thing?”
“This alarming trend, from 11% to more recently around 30% of peripheral vascular interventions in the U.S. involving a tibial artery for claudication, suggests we may be at risk of changing the natural history of a relatively benign disease,” he summarized.
Conte went further. A systematic review that looked at 11 studies covering current conservative management and intervention, and 16 studies probing peripheral vascular interventions or open surgery for claudication “found that there were consistently higher rates of major amputation or repeat intervention associated with revascularization, and particularly with tibial interventions,” he said.
What of the guidelines and appropriate use criteria (AUC) in the arena of treatment for intermittent claudication? It’s a mixed bag, said Conte. While the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) guidelines from 2015 recommend against endovascular therapies for isolated infrapopliteal disease for claudication “because it is of unproven benefit and possibly harmful,” other bodies, such as the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI), suggest that “this practice may be occasionally or rarely appropriate,” Conte said.
The recent SVS AUC for intermittent claudication, a multispecialty collaboration, saw unanimous agreement that the risks outweighed the benefits regarding revascularization for infrapopliteal disease, he added.
So, to Conte’s original question: what explains the increasing use of tibial interventions for claudication? “It certainly is not the evidence that it is helping people, because the evidence is simply not there to support this concept of full revascularization for claudication, with treatment of every lesion in sight on the angiogram,” Conte elaborated.
The data suggests other practice-level factors may be at play, he reflected: economic incentives and the current reimbursement framework; elevated use in ASCs and OBLs; strong associations with atherectomy; higher use among certain types of providers; meetings where live case demonstrations focus on technical elements of the interventions rather than their appropriateness.
“I guess that some providers believe that the short-term risk of these interventions is low, and the downstream harms are not tangible at the time, so they have convinced themselves they may be providing a benefit,” Conte concluded.
“That’s certainly not a basis for evidence-based practice, and with growing signals of harm, the vascular community needs to address the overuse and misuse of interventions that will erode the public trust.”

The frontman posted the short selection of tracks on the band’s Instagram account earlier today (January 12) for their first post of the year.
“Happy new year to all of you,” he wrote. “I hope you’re doing well. Here are some songs I think are wonderful. C.” His recommendations included a mix of both current and old songs, with the latter including AC/DC’s 1990 track ‘Thunderstruck’.
The full list of tracks was as follows:
Lizzo – ‘Juice’
The 1975 – ‘Love It If We Made It’
Rosalía – ‘Malamente’
Stormzy – ‘Blinded By Your Grace pt 1’
AC/DC – ‘Thunderstruck’
Daniel Caesar – ‘We Find Love’
Wizkid, Spellz, and Tiwa Savage – ‘Ma Lo’
Last year, it was reported that Coldplay are set to return in 2019 to work on a “surprising” new album. The band’s friend and collaborator Mat Whitecross told NME in November: “This year, they decided to take off. They haven’t been doing anything as far as I know, but they do have plans for next year however I’ve not been party to them.
“I’ve heard a few things and filmed a few bits of them talking about it, but I don’t think I’m allowed to share anything. It’s interesting […] They always want to be challenging themselves and surprising other people – that’s why they work with people like Brian Eno. In that sense, I’m sure whatever they do next will surprise people.”
Meanwhile, November also saw the release of two new tracks by the band, under the name Los Unidades. They appeared on ‘Global Citizen EP 1’, which was curated by Martin and featured collaborations between the group, Pharrell, Casper Nyovest, and Stargate.


Alex Dalenberg | Upstart Business Journal contributor – The projects on crowdfunding platform Indiegogo are about as eclectic as it gets, which may explain why co-founder Danae Ringelmann felt like she had to be an expert in everything getting the startup off the ground in 2008.
Ringelmann quickly learned to play to her strengths. In a recent interview with VentureBeat, she said that one of her best pieces of advice for early-stage founders is to do the same.
I used to think I needed to be a Jack or a Jane all trades. But the best entrepreneurs I know are aware of what they’re good and what they’re not. Bring on talent, and begin the process of letting go. To get a company off the ground, initially you might need to roll up your sleeves and do everything. But when you’re larger, you’ll create more value for the company by leveraging the strengths of others.
Ringelmann is Indiegogo’s chief customer officer. She founded the site with Eric Schell and CEO Slava Rubin. The site raised a $40 million Series B round in January. Forbes reported that the financing is going to support Indiegogo’s international expansion and mobile products.
Here at Upstart Business Journal, we’re looking to hear the best piece of advice you’ve ever received. We’re showcase our readers best advice in the Upstart Today email. As an added bonus, if your advice is featured on the site, we’ll send you an Upstart T-shirt.

Nio Inc. (NYSE: NIO) stock continued its gains on Tuesday as the ramp-up of its premium electric SUV, ES6, drove deliveries higher for September month. However, the growth of the China-based electric carmaker is likely to be hindered by several headwinds, including competition from its rival Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).
Nio, which manufactures premium passenger cars that run on electricity, delivered 2,019 units last month. That included 1,726 ES6s and 293 ES8s, its 6/7-seater premium SUV. The September results represent a 4% sequential increase. For the third quarter, Nio delivered 4,799 vehicles, up 35.1% from the second quarter and exceeded the midpoint of its forecast range significantly by 499 vehicles or 12%.
The company had earlier experienced softness in vehicle deliveries due to voluntary battery recall, cost ravage, falling passenger vehicle sales, and lower electric vehicle subsidies. Also, Nio is facing stiff competition from Tesla, which is constructing a Gigafactory in Shanghai.
Nio has turned its focus towards battery production capacity after the battery recalls impacted vehicle production and deliveries during in July. The company has hinted at low production levels to manage the additional capital requirements.
The overall performance in September was attributed to the expedited shipments ahead of China’s national day holiday. As many as 12,341 units, including both the leading models, were delivered so far this year, taking aggregate deliveries to 23,689 units. Shipments of ES8 first started in June 2018 and those of ES6 began approximately a year later.
The company has initiated steps to increase its vehicle production by lowering the global headcount to around 7,800 by the end of the third quarter from over 9,900 in January 2019. Nio is further pursuing a leaner operation through additional restructuring and spin-off of certain non-core businesses by year-end.
Tesla has delivered about 97,000 vehicles and produced 96,155 vehicles in the third quarter of 2019. This turned out to be disappointing for the investors, who were expecting close to 100,000 deliveries. The production of Model 3 vehicles turned out to be the main focus for Tesla in order to meet the customers’ demand.
Comparison-wise, Nio deliveries remain much lower than Tesla, even as both the companies face pressure from the macroeconomic level. Also, Nio is selling vehicles in fewer markets than Tesla.
Cash crunch continues to be a major problem for the auto players but market experts believe that Tesla has a competitive advantage over Nio due to a stable cash flow. There persisted fewer concerns on Tesla’s ability to repay debt.
The experts expect Nio to seek additional capital in the first quarter of 2020 as liquidity appears sufficient till year-end. Despite the robust deliveries report, Nio is somewhat lagging in the competition war against Tesla due to the cash shortage for investments and no expansion plans for the future. Both the companies are expected to reveal additional details of expansion plans during the upcoming results.

This is a cry of desperation from a County Supervisor that is watching California politicians destroy his state without any hope or power to stop them. Our country is starting to implode. I suspect more of this is coming and, undoubtedly, even worse things in the future.
President Obama's policies, lawlessness and disrespect for America and it's people have deeply fractured the population. Every time I see video or stories about the riots in Greece, I find myself wondering if the riots that come here will only be on the coasts or if they will be in the heartland of America. God forbid! We must hold on to the heartland if we have any hope of rebuilding our nation. I've said for months, and I still believe, the worst is yet to come.
One day, last week, I was buying something and when the cashier told me I was getting $17.76 in change, I said, "1776. That was a good year."
She looked at me with a blank face and I said, "Do you know what happened in 1776?"
"No," she replied.
In two days, we will celebrate Independence Day. How many Americans know what it means, anymore? God help us.

New state would have no term limits, part-time legislature
RIVERSIDE (CBS) — Is the state of California about to go “South”?
Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone apparently thinks so, after proposing that the county lead a campaign for as many as 13 Southern California counties to secede from the state.
Stone said in a statement late Thursday that Riverside, Imperial, San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Kings, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa and Mono counties should form the new state of South California.
The creation of the new state would allow officials to focus on securing borders, balancing budgets, improving schools and creating a vibrant economy, he said.
“Our taxes are too high, our schools don’t educate our children well enough, unions and other special interests have more clout in the Legislature than the general public,” Stone said in his statement.


Pressing or Folding in Garment Manufacturing
Although pressing remains largely a manual task, new automated process exists that apply force and steam to garments placed over a body form.
Pressing or Folding
Some pressing, termed “under pressing,” may be done in the course of assembling a garment, for example, pressing seams open or ironing a collar. Most pressing is done after assembly to improve the appearance of a garment. In other cases, especially with knits, garments are simply folded instead of pressed. Although pressing remains largely a manual task, a new automated process exists that apply force and steam to garments placed over a body form.
Finishing and Detailing
“Finishing” is the addition of special detailing such as pleats, embroidery and screen printing to a garment. This includes hand stitching (unseen handwork is done inside collars and lapels to give them shape) and its automated substitutes. This may also include adding buttons, hooks, eyes, or trims, as well as clipping loose threads. All finishing of moderate- and lower-priced garments is done by machine.
The Principles of Pressing
Pressing can be defined as a process which changes the geometric fiber structure of the area being pressed by the controlled application of heat, steam, and pressure. In this sense, removing a crease from a garment involves the same change of fiber lay as that required to open a seam or to press a hem.
With very few exceptions, every type of product manufactured by the clothing industry is pressed either during or at the end of its assembly or at the end only. The exceptions are items of corsetry and underwear which, due to the materials and construction, do not require any form of pressing.Regardless of the extent of pressing which garment undergo, pressing is a crucial process which imparts the final finish to a garment. A garment always has a greater hanger or package appeal if itis fresh looking and crisply pressed.

Describing Secondary Curriculum in Mathematics and Science: Current Status and Future Indicators. A RAND Note.
Stecher, Brian M.
The quality of mathematics and science education in the United States and the goal of becoming first in the world in those two disciplines are topics of concern. This study attempts to describe the current condition of mathematics and science education and to evaluate the adequacy of existing national data to provide such a description. The report is presented in six sections. An introduction defines curriculum, enumerates the research questions, and describes the organization of the report. Sections 2-5 present the current status, the availability and reliability of data, and the evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of alternative indicators for the following areas: graduation requirements; course availability; course completion; and course content. Section 6 presents conclusions and recommendations of the study. The study concluded that the existing data sources were inadequate to construct a system of curriculum indicators. The indicator patchwork pieced together did not cover all aspects of curriculum, was temporally uneven, relied on sources of uneven quality, contained measures that were not always congruent, and in sum, was inadequate for effective policymaking. The following recommendations were made to fill in data gaps and build a comprehensive curriculum indicator system: (1) ensure the continued and extended availability of graduation standards, course availability, and course completion data; (2) develop, validate, and incorporate measures of course content into ongoing data-collection efforts; (3) support research to validate and extend the information provided by ongoing data sources; and (4) develop sources for information to describe the mathematics and science curriculum at the elementary and middle school levels. Supplemental sections provide a summary, lists of tables and figures, principal data sources for building the curriculum indicator patchwork, NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) variables with high rates of missing values in 1985-1986, additional tables and figures, and a list of 59 references.

A member of the first class of women at Yale University, I received my training in publishing in the engineering department of college textbooks at Prentice Hall, back in the day when in-house training was thorough, orderly, and invaluable.
From Prentice Hall I went on to a few short-lived jobs in publishing that culminated in my employment with Cobb-Dunlop Publisher Services, one of the first companies to handle outsourcing of full projects from publishing companies. In 1988 I founded my own service, and spent many years producing textbooks and other books, college and professional, for over a dozen publishing houses.
Since 2005 I have been "playing the field," as they say, and have turned to projects that appeal to my artistic and personal side. When not editing or writing for a client, I run Homecoming Players, a theater company I co-founded, in Ithaca, New York.

Sometimes the names an automaker gives its cars are a feint. Take Subaru: Ascent. Forester. Outback. Names that suggest that their owners are adventurous and outdoorsy people who require a rugged and capable car to support their way-finding lifestyles. It's a compelling pitch, and it's working for Subaru, which posted its 82nd consecutive month of sales growth in September. But the names—and the image—have increasingly little to do with the cars themselves. Are Ascent owners ascending anything steeper than a driveway? Are Forester owners foresting?
As the Forester enters a new generation for 2019, the truth emerges that this little SUV has always just wanted to be a safe, friendly commuter, and it moves further in that direction here. Subaru says that practically every part that isn't a nut or bolt is new. The car rides on a stiffer platform, with new K-braces to gird the front suspension's pickup points. Also, the 2.5-liter flat-four that powers every Forester is now direct injected.
But it would take a studied eye to spot the differences at a glance. The new Forester bears more than a passing resemblance to the old one, and though packaging changes have netted an extra 1.4 inches of rear-seat legroom, the car is less than an inch longer and wider than the outgoing model. Some changes make the Forester less appealing to enthusiasts, such as the ditching of the manual transmission and the turbocharged engine due to low take rates. Subaru is instead hanging its hat on safety, pitching its standard all-wheel-drive system as a winter-weather necessity and installing its EyeSight driver-assistance system on every trim level.
With that in mind, it may be an achievement that our drive in the new Forester was just dull. Initial throttle response is good, but the 182-hp engine and CVT (the only available transmission) aren't designed for hijinks. On-track, the Forester was unhurried, accelerating from zero to 60 mph in 8.5 seconds. Sport mode sharpens the throttle response but can't disguise the fact that there's not much power at the top end. The Forester is poised, with accurate steering and a controlled ride. Still, we suspect most buyers will be more interested to hear that the front seats are comfortable and that outward visibility is excellent. In building the new Forester, Subaru carefully crafted a car for its customers and their delusions, not for enthusiast critics. We may bemoan the loss of the beefier engine, and there are still cars in the class that drive better and cost less. But it's easy to imagine a horde of happy Forester owners who never dip far enough into the throttle to realize what they're missing.


Trinamool Congress lashed out at the finance minister Pranab Mukherjee for allegedly trying to split the party. TMC MP Derek O Brien has tweeted stating that the finance minister spoke to MP Kabir Suman and sought his support to become the President. Derek O Brien, who has found fault with Pranab, has said that dada's actions were unethical.
This was Derek's tweet: "Pranab M directly called up a TMC MP seeking support. Politically ethical to do? Or trying to break TMC? Try & try again. Won't break :)." He didn't stop with that. Derek posted another tweet on the same subject. He said: “Lots of Breaking News on President polls.But 'he' who is trying to Break TMC can try another 1000 times... Your time starts now."
Although some members of TMC apparently supported Pranab Mukhejee earlier, the party members adhered to the high command (Mamata Banerjee) when didi gave whip and asked all members of TMC not to support Pranab Mukherjee. However, NDA is divided on the presidential candidate while one of the close allies of UPA, TMC is against Pranab as presidential candidate.

Prince Harry will mark his 36th birthday on September 15 following an extraordinary 12 months. This time last year Harry, Meghan Markle and their son Archie Harrison, one, were about to embark on their first royal tour as a family in Southern Africa. During the tour, which was deemed to be a PR win, the couple opened up about struggling in the limelight and for the first time seemed to hint they might one day choose to leave royal life behind entirely.
One year on and not only have the couple relinquished their royal roles but they have relocated to the USA and landed a mega deal with streaming giant Netflix.
Meghan and Harry are now based Santa Barbara, California with their son Archie where they own a mansion in the upscale neighbourhood of Montecito.
Less than a year since announcing their royal step down the couple have achieved their key goal of gaining financial independence from the crown.
They have also honoured their promise to pay back the £2.4 million British taxpayer’s money spent on renovating their Windsor home Frogmore Cottage.
Commenting on the Sussexes’ recent successes royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Express.co.uk: “The fact that Harry and Meghan received £2.4 million from the Sovereign Grant to refurbish Frogmore Cottage was always seen as a sign that they owed something to the British taxpayer.
“Hence the intensity of criticism over their decision to have a private christening and not reveal the names of Archie’s godparents.
“The Sussexes made decisions regarding their privacy which appeared arbitrary, even if the original expectations about them acting with the Cambridges as ‘the Fab Four’ were wholly unrealistic.
“It would be a mistake to think that paying this off will have any bearing at all on the level of public interest that they will continue to attract and that will be reflected in the obsessive press fascination which accompanies everything they do.”
Mr Fitzwilliams highlight a key win for Meghan and Harry will have been that they no longer need to depend on Harry’s father Prince Charles for financial support.
The expert added: “However, although the money has been paid from their private funds, it is also highly significant that they will not be receiving further financial support from Prince Charles.
“Their highly remunerative deal with Netflix will, at a stroke, make them financially independent which was always their aim.
“For Harry and Meghan, this represents an opportunity to make documentaries and feature films and children’s programmes which is also a chance to campaign for the causes they believe in such as diversity, gender equality, the environment and mental health.”

According to Mr Fitzwilliams, Harry’s upcoming birthday will be a huge cause for celebration in more ways than one.
He said: “Harry’s 36th birthday is on Tuesday and this deal and the freedom it brings, has given him and Meghan a very great deal to celebrate.”
While the precise sum of the couple’s Netflix deal has not been disclosed it is estimated to be worth up to £75 million.
The family have been based in the USA since March and are expected to remain there for the foreseeable future as the coronavirus pandemic disrupts international travel.
Meghan and Harry’s decision to hold on to Frogmore Cottage despite being based in the US suggests they plan to return at some point.
Harry is due in the Hague for the Invictus Games next March and may choose to visit the UK for a stint afterwards.
A new statue of Harry’s late mother Princess Diana is to be unveiled in the gardens at Kensington Palace next July.
Given Harry’s involvement in the project and his enduring love for his mother, he is expected to be there for the unveiling on July 1 2021.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 2, 2021 –The Billy Graham Library will host a family-friendly, Biblically-focused Hispanic Heritage Celebration Day on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. as part of National Hispanic Heritage Month.
The day will include indoor and outdoor activities, guided Journey of Faith tours in Spanish, kids craft, and discounts in the Graham Brothers Dairy Bar and Ruth’s Attic bookstore – which carries a selection of Spanish-language Christian books. There will also be special performances at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., with live music from Daniel Calveti and Raúl Sánchez, along with ventriloquist Yoly Pacheco.
Hispanic Heritage Celebration Day is free, but registration is recommended. To reserve your spot visit BillyGrahamLibrary.org/event/hispanic-heritage-celebration-day/.
The Hispanic Heritage Celebration Day at the Billy Graham Library is part of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s (BGEA) commitment to share the gospel with our Spanish-speaking friends in the community. According to recent Census Bureau statistics, one of the largest ethnic groups in the United States are Hispanic and Latino Americans. Locally in Charlotte, that means 13.1%, or more than 133,000 Spanish-speaking residents call the Queen City home.
“We want the Hispanic community to get to know the Library, and at the same time celebrate the great Hispanic Heritage,” said Chris Swanson, vice president of Hispanic Ministries for the BGEA. “This is a time designated specifically to welcome the Hispanic population to the Library.”
Since Billy Graham’s first Crusade tour to Latin America in 1958, BGEA has been sharing the Gospel in Spanish-speaking countries. Through the Hispanic outreach, the BGEA is expanding its efforts to reach the Spanish-speaking community in America with resources including online tools and materials, podcasts, special events at the Billy Graham Library, and more.

The Billy Graham Library opened in 2007 and has since had more than 1.6 million visitors from around the world. Admission to the Library and The Journey of Faith is free.

The Way of St. James goes by many names - the Way, El Camino de Santiago or just the Camino. It is an ancient path cutting a swath through Spain, stretching from southern France almost all the way to Spain's western coast. For over 1,000 years, pilgrims have walked this path to pay penance, to connect with the spiritual or to take on the challenge of an 800 kilometer (500 mile) hike.
And just recently, a man who took a pilgrimage of sorts to Tacoma ventured out to walk the Camino.
Robert Dittmar came to Tacoma in 2011 to help his brother, Willow Salon and Spa owner David Dittmar, expand the salon.
But after a fateful evening at The Grand Cinema, Dittmar had found an entirely new purpose. The Grand showed the Emilio Estevez movie The Way in late 2011. The Way is a movie about a father hiking the Camino in place of his son who passed away.
Dittmar knew he had to do this hike. His reasons were spiritual and physical: reconnecting with his Catholic roots and the endurance of an extensive hike.
Over a period of 33 days, Dittmar crossed northern Spain on foot and completed a total of 790 kilometers.
The journey begins
Dittmar arrived in Roncesvalles, Spain, the first week of February. He intended to hike one of the main pilgrimage paths called Camino Frances, which starts in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France. But on the night he arrived, an intense winter storm forced him to start from Roncesvalles. That and a general lack of preparedness.
"I just figured - this sounds cool, the movie looks great, this will be easy. I didn't have a guide book. I got there in just a pair of jeans and tennis shoes. I had all the proper gear. The night before I left, I realized I couldn't fit it all in my backpack. So I triaged - what do I need, what do I not need," says Dittmar.
From Roncesvalles, he only had 790 kilometers to go. On foot. In winter. Who needs hiking boots?
He mentions others riding bikes on the trail, catching buses to skip ahead or even using a car and a series of day hikes to make the distance.
"Most people I met understood that suffering is part of it. Physical suffering, financial suffering," he says.
In Roncesvalles, he received his credencial - a passport for pilgrims. Each stop along the way puts a stamp in the book. At the end of the Camino, this can be exchanged for a certificate of completion, as long as the pilgrim has traversed at least 100 km.
The Camino is often said to have three stages: physical (mountains), mental (the flat middle ground) and spiritual (the green hills and cathedral of Galicia). The Way is dotted by olive groves, vineyards and snowcapped mountains, and passes through small towns, villages and larger cities. Parts of the trail are dirt. Parts are on roads.
The first part of the journey took Dittmar into the Pyrenees mountains. This meant freezing winds, small and rocky trails, hands swelling from the cold and snow plows that seemed to care nothing for the pilgrims, often splashing them with snow and salt.
Almost immediately, his feet faced torture. Because his shoes weren't equipped to handle the snow, he wore plastic bags around his socks, which promptly scrunched out of place. Many blisters ensued. Two of his toenails went black, but fortunately stayed attached until the very end of his journey.
"You're slipping and sliding trying to get up the mountain, and you're thinking whoever made this trail just wanted to see how many ankles he could sprain," Dittmar says.
While the Camino is well traveled, there are fewer travelers in the winter. Market and lodging closures are not uncommon.
"There was one time we were up in the highest parts of the trail, and there's only one place to stay. None of us had any food. The market was closed. There were five of us. We had half a tomato that had been in my pack all day, a quarter of a red pepper, and two bowls of soup. We all split it. We were so hungry," he says.
People on the Camino
Pilgrims band together while traveling the Way. Along the path, Dittmar connected with other travelers, and has stayed in touch with many of the people he walked with.
"The greatest thing I experienced was the camaraderie between people. They say misery likes company," he says. "You probably talk more on the Camino about your life back home, the challenges you face and personal situations that you wouldn't tell anyone else."
What happens on the Camino, stays on the Camino.
He speaks of amazing acts of kindness, often involving pilgrims giving away items to help others - a knee brace, a walking stick, food.
"No one really wants to see anyone fail. Everyone wants to see everyone make it to Santiago. When someone needs something, you just share," he says.
Historically, kings and paupers and everyone in between have walked the Camino - people along the trail still tend to treat everyone well. You never know who you might be dealing with.
"On the Camino you are stripped of just about everything. After a few days, everyone smells of body odor, whatever food we spilled on our clothes while eating lunch in the grass on the trail, perhaps cigarette smoke, perhaps hair that hasn't been washed for days," he says. "In those states, there's not a lot to hide behind. You are who you are, and surprisingly, I saw nothing but absolute beauty in everyone I encountered."
While there were many times of little food, horrible weather and getting lost when the yellow arrows along the way weren't exactly clear, Dittmar says his biggest challenge on the Camino was a knee injury sustained early on.
"Coming down out of the pass in Pamplona it was all rocks and my pack was too heavy. I didn't feel it too much that day, but over the next few days it got worse. For about 10 days, every step was brutal," he says. "Everyone was telling me I wasn't going to make it and that I should go home. I was like, I'm in Spain and I have time. I'm going to finish."
And finish he did. It turns out knee injuries go numb after about three weeks of intense pain.
Pilgrims along the Camino have several lodging options, including hostels, pensions, even luxury hotels at the six or seven bigger towns along Camino Frances. But for those with a pilgrim passport, albergues or refugios are most common. These basic hostel-style lodging are free or very cheap.
Albergue staff often cook for pilgrims, and most have stoves (but often no dishes) and showers. Still, it seems when pilgrims are most in need, albergues are not necessarily there for them.
"Toward the beginning, almost none had heat. That was miserable," says Dittmar.
He developed an evening ritual in the albergues - hand wash socks, hang them up to dry and then a glass of wine. Wine is cheap in Spain and proved a highlight of the evenings.
"Every night, there were copious amounts of wine. The culture I experienced was very laissez-faire. People stroll into the albergues at different times. Usually around 8, we'd all be drinking wine, talking about the good parts of the trail that day, and the really rough parts, and glad everyone was there," he says.
The Camino ends in Galicia and almost everyone, Catholic or otherwise, attends mass at Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
"When you get to Santiago, don't see the church. You go all the way through the city and come up behind it. Right there are all the pilgrims because the pilgrim's office is in front of the church - everyone is milling around waiting to get their compostela [certificate of accomplishment]. You see people you haven't seen in two weeks or two days."
Legends say the remains of St. James lie below the cathedral in a silver shrine. After visiting the tomb, most pilgrims make their way behind the alter to touch the statue of St. James before attending mass at noon.
"After church, it's bittersweet because it's sad that it's over," says Dittmar.
Many pilgrims continue on to the coast, where tradition has it that you burn all your nasty hiking clothes before you go home. Dittmar did not do this, but hopes to the next time he goes back. And he does intend to go back and do the trail again - perhaps the northern route, or perhaps the Camino Frances again from the very beginning.
But next time, he intends to go fully prepared.
Beyond the people on the trail, Dittmar also found that the support of those at home made a huge difference to his endurance on the trail - specifically, phone calls to his mother cheering him on and his brother allowing him to take time off.


text: The relation of educational level to obstructive lung disease, spirometric airflow limitation, and respiratory symptoms was examined in a two-phase cross-sectional study of a Norwegian general population aged 18-73 years in 1985-1988. The first phase was a questionnaire survey. In the second phase, a stratified sample of those who responded in the first phase was invited to a clinical and respiratory physiologic examination. Altogether, 714 subjects attended, representing 84% of those invited. The prevalences of obstructive lung disease and spirometric airflow limitation were 7.8% and 4.5%, respectively. A total of 18% of the population had completed college, a further 60% had completed secondary school, and 21% had obtained a primary school education alone. The prevalence of both smoking and occupational airborne exposure decreased with increasing educational level. The sex-, age-, smoking-, and occupational exposure-adjusted odds ratio of obstructive lung disease in primary-versus university-educated subjects was 2.9 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-6.5); in secondary- versus university-educated subjects it was 1.4 (95% CI 0.7-2.8). The corresponding values for spirometric airflow limitations were 5.2 (95% CI 2.0-13.4) and 1.8 (95% CI 1.2-2.7). All of the respiratory symptoms except breathlessness grade 2 were significantly associated with educational level after allowing for sex, age, smoking, and occupational airborne exposure. The survey indicates that educational level is a risk factor for airway disorders independent of smoking and occupational airborne exposure.


By Joel Wittnebel/The Oshawa Express
The possibility of creating a licensing system for rental units in Oshawa’s downtown was turned down by Oshawa city council, marking the second time councillors have quashed the idea of expanding licensing for landlords.
The idea, brought forward by Councillor Amy McQuaid-England during the city’s final day of budget deliberations would have seen $60,000 being put toward a public input process “on the creation of a licensing system in the Oshawa downtown area for implementation in the 2019 budget.”
McQuaid-England’s motion points to a number of factors as to why Oshawa’s downtown should have such a system, including the fact that 61.4 per cent of households are rentals, the highest number of any part of the city, it has been listed as a priority neighbourhood by the Region of Durham’s Health Neighbourhoods mapping system, and there are a high number of different types of housing (two-unit houses, duplexes, triplexes).
However, the idea was eventually voted down with only Councillors Gail Bates, John Neal and Doug Sanders supporting the idea.
“I believe council had an opportunity to come in with a responsible tax increase and still provide some help for residents across our city,” she said. “It was a disappointment that they voted against opportunities that would have helped tenants and homeowners while encouraging safer and healthy housing. It should have been a high priority to equalize the funding and opportunities for better protections for residents across our city.”
Councillor Dan Carter, the chair of the city’s finance committee, defended council’s decision to put aside the idea, noting city staff would not have the ability to take on the extra work over the coming year.
“I take all communities, all the communities that are struggling with hardships or hurdles very seriously,” he says. “You heard quite clearly from our commissioner, based upon the resources that they have and the complexities of introducing something new, they did not have the capacity to deliver that.”
With that said, Carter points to the other programs the city offers in an effort to assist tenants, including public meetings, a tenant brochure and now a second mail-out along with resident tax bills that will encourage them to register their second-units if they’ve split their homes.
Councillor Carter, also a landlord in the city’s downtown, says he consulted with the city clerk ahead of any discussion on McQuaid-Englands motion to ensure there was no conflict of interest for him to take part in any vote.
“I took proper direction from our clerk to make sure,” he says. ““In this circumstance, based upon the interpretation of the Municipal Act, based on asking for advice…I felt that I made the right decision…If not, I guess someone is going to hold me accountable and I’m going to have to defend myself.”
Expansion of landlord licensing has been a hot topic in the city over the last few months, dating back to early 2017 when the idea of expanding the city’s Residential Rental Housing Licensing system across the city was introduced.
Currently, Oshawa’s RRHL system only exists in the area surrounding the Durham College and University of Ontario Institute of Technology campuses in the north end. The system was put in place in 2008 and requires landlords to maintain their premises in accordance with provincial fire, building and electrical codes along with adhering to city bylaws related to property standards and zoning.
In 2017, while the city-wide expansion was being considered, the city undertook a pilot project for proactive inspections at a trio of problem apartment buildings in priority areas of the city. The program was deemed an overwhelming success.
However, during a special meeting of council to receive the 2018 operating budget in December, an item for council’s consideration was the $300,000 it would cost to hire a consultant in order to look into expanding the RRHL system, and in a motion from Councillor Rick Kerr, the newly named chair of the corporate services committee, the idea was pushed aside in favour of a project similar to what council ran in 2017.
Tenant advocate Christeen Thornton appeared before council after the decision and called the action “grossly negligent” and said that people in the city are being impacted every day by the lack of supports for tenants.
