of stumbling upon a spark of wisdom that ignites momentarily illuminating
a bit of darkness. The title of this original revue is partially inspired
by a line from Stephen Sondheim's song "Broadway Baby" from his musical
FOLLIES: "Gee, I'd like to be on some marquee all twinkling lights, a
spark to pierce the dark from Batt'ry Park to Washington Heights."
The cast features (in alphabetical order) Arica Coleman, Adam Fieldson, Sam Hartley, Allison Harvey, Hannah Kurth, Reagan Lopez, Emily Martinez, David Rubio, John Stewart, Nathaniel Sullivan and Rachael Washington with Jaime Castellanos accompanying at the piano.

text: I believe that people are born with the instinct of helping others. However, depending on the situation people can act differently. For instance, humble people are more inclined and willing to help other people than arrogant people. The most important factor is to help unconditionally without waiting for anything in return. It’s called altruism. For example, you can work voluntarily doing social activities in a huge variety of institutions such as prisons, retirement house, and juvenile detention centers. As a norm of reciprocity, helping someone, the probability of being helped is greater. To give you an example, helping someone handle a bank account, when such person doesn’t know how to do this, could be the beginning of a friendship. Later, you can be helped by that person as well. Even with so many good consequences from this action, sometimes people don’t help. Why don’t they help? Some reasons are listed to make this understandable: they might be too busy, they don’t feel safe at the moment, they think that people in need can help themselves, and not because they are selfish. Again, I repeat, people are born with the nature to help.

The incidence and duration of unconsciousness and delirious behavior in children with febrile seizures were studied at Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine and other centers in Japan. In 203 patients with 213 consecutive febrile seizures the duration of seizures was less than 5 minutes in 90.2%, duration of unconsciousness was less than 30 min in 93%, and delirious behavior observed in 2% of patients persisted for 10 to 60 minutes. Delirium appeared before the onset of the febrile seizure and resolved after the seizure. Prolonged unconsciousness >30 min, in 7% of patients, was associated with nongeneralized seizures, seizures >5 min duration, or use of intravenous diazepam.
COMMENT. Prolonged unconsciousness and delirious behavior are rare with febrile seizures. When these symptoms are present, a diagnosis of acute encephalopathy should be considered.
Delirium with febrile myoclonus. Febrile myoclonic episodes in 11 patients, aged 8 months to 11 years, were associated with fear, surprise and shouting in 73%, a past history of febrile convulsion in 18% and febrile delirium in 9%. The outcome for febrile myoclonus was benign and not complicated by afebrile seizures.

series: Inn at Eagle Hill, The
Where to Purchase
Bethany's restless heart is searching for answers--in life and in love
Bethany Schrock's love life has derailed, her faith hangs by a thread, and she is spending hot summer days wading through a lifetime of accumulation at the home of five elderly Amish sisters. She's not sure what she wants out of life, but she knows that she's not finding it in Stoney Ridge.
Then a new guest at the Inn at Eagle Hill ropes her into volunteering in a community project for down-and-outers. Reluctant at first, Bethany starts to feel a bit of joy and satisfaction again. But not so much that Jimmy Fisher, adorable and impossible, can woo her affections with his winks and tricks. Well, maybe a little.
When a figure from her past reenters her life, Bethany must decide: What does the past mean to her future?
Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher delivers her trademark twists, turns, and tender romance in this delightful and exciting visit to the quiet community of Stoney Ridge.
"Fisher's characters are living the simple life--or trying to, despite the hardships they are facing--and learning how to adjust their way of life without compromising their beliefs. We get a glimpse of life few outsiders are privileged to see, with some surprises, twists, and turns."--RT Book Reviews
Suzanne Woods Fisher is the bestselling author of The Letters, the Lancaster County Secrets series, and the Stoney Ridge Seasons series, as well as nonfiction books about the Amish, including Amish Peace. She is also the coauthor of an Amish children's series, The Adventures of Lily Lapp. Suzanne is a Christy Award finalist, a Carol Award winner, and a columnist for Christian Post and Cooking & Such magazines. She lives in California. For more information, please visit www.suzannewoodsfisher.com and connect with her on Twitter @suzannewfisher.
"The second book in the Inn at Eagle Creek series is filled with romance, family secrets and characters who are searching for fulfillment in their lives with some unexpected results. Fisher is an amazing author. She has written a believable story about those who embrace their flaws."
RT Book Reviews
"Fisher's new romance novel has enough twists and turns to satisfy any reader, but those who want to see the special world of Amish culture and family will be rewarded too."

Just under 13 months after that historic 8-2 demolition in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal, Barcelona and Bayern Munich were back at it – this time for the blockbuster Matchday 1 Group E clash of the 2021/22 campaign of the tournament.
A few things changed after that, most notably for Barcelona who saw new manager Ronald Koeman taking charge, Lionel Messi leaving, and a few more notable departures taking place including those of Luis Suárez and Antoine Griezmann, both of whom went to Atlético Madrid.
Bayern’s core squad, meanwhile, remained relatively unchanged, though, key defenders Jérôme Boateng and David Alaba departed while the likes of Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer came in from RB Leipzig, along with new manager Julian Nagelsmann.
Still, old wounds remained unlicked, and a big battle was set to take place in Barcelona. The 22 central participants were named an hour prior as ever, and there was yet more intrigue in the hosts’ camp as they appeared to be deploying a three centre-back system for the first time this season.
Six of the starters from that historic quarterfinal retained their places, while the rest were either not Barcelona players anymore or, in Clément Lenglet’s case, injured. Bayern, meanwhile, kept seven of their players from that game along with their preferred 4-2-3-1 formation.
Therefore, almost half of the men on the pitch in this match were different and both dugouts had new managers, yet most of the central themes in this game seemed all too familiar. Bayern continued to absolutely dominate both with and without the ball, while Barça kept causing their own problems and truly looked miles away from their opponents in all aspects of the game.
The only real differences this time were that every half-dangerous Bayern shot did not go in, while Barcelona somehow managed to look even more toothless in attack – not even registering a single shot on target.
Tactical issues were not the biggest problem for the home side on the night, but they certainly did exist – most notably defensively. They primarily sat in a 5-3-2 mid-block…
…but looked to push high up the pitch when Bayern had the ball in their own box. However, there were major problems with their structure.
First of all, Ronald Koeman was reluctant to push his wing-backs too high for fear of being caught out, especially on the right where Alphonso Davies was superior both technically and in terms of speed against Sergi Roberto. (Funnily enough, Davies seemed to be Bayern’s favourite outlet anyway). Secondly, Bayern were easily able to create numerical overloads in the middle of the park by asking one of their attackers to drop deep when Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka were marked by Pedri and Frenkie de Jong.
All of this contributed to a complete disaster of a high block, where Barcelona were barely able to cut off one passing option and incessantly conceded transition after transition, where Bayern’s superior individual qualities took the spotlight.
There were so many of such attacks conceded that we could go on all day dissecting them, so it’s best that we move on.
The pressing phase is also where the difference in tactical class was highlighted most – while Koeman’s side struggled to close down even just the Bayern midfielders, Julian Nagelsmann had Barcelona trapped deep in their own half with ease.
The German champions turned possession over in Barcelona’s half a whopping 17 times, firmly hemming their opponents in close to their own goal.
This is basically the pattern the entire game followed – Barcelona fail to play out from the back and either lose the ball in a dangerous situation or more commonly punt it long, Bayern then circulate it around the back before slicing through their hosts with ease, and rinse and repeat.
In truth, the visitors hardly ever got out of second gear at best, but they simply did not have to. Everything they did – press high up the pitch, play through Barcelona’s defence or even combine in the final third – seemed to be so incredibly effortless that one might have easily mistaken this for a training session.
If anything, this match only illustrated exactly how far the mighty have fallen in Barcelona’s case, and how that 8-2 mauling was not a bad day at the office but in fact long overdue. Worse yet, the Catalan giants seem to still be going down the ever treacherous slope, and it is incredibly difficult to tell when or even if they will ever reclimb those glorious heights they once showed the world.
Sergio Agüero once uttered the words ‘different gravy’ during his Manchester City days, and that perfectly encapsulates Barcelona’s position in contrast to the truly elite clubs in the world right now. Their current gravy is poisoned beyond redemption, so their only hope can be to start cooking a new one.

In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, bring about 4 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain through a colander, rinsing briefly to keep the pasta from sticking.
Rinse the saucepan with cool water and dry off, then place back on the burner over low heat and add the butter (if the pan is still hot, remove from the heat while the butter melts to keep it from browning).
Once the butter has melted, add the flour and begin whisking to form a paste. Continue whisking constantly over low heat until the paste (technically known as a roux), turns slightly yellow and begins to smell fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the milk, then turn the heat up to high. Whisk in the mustard, cayenne pepper, and garlic, if using.
Cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce bubbles and thickens, 7-10 minutes. You’re looking for the consistency of cream soup.
Once thick, remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the cheeses, one handful at a time. Make sure to do this off the heat. Once the sauce is smooth, stir in the macaroni.
Divide into individual portions and serve.
Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
I grate the garlic using a microplane zester. This helps release the liquid and creates a paste that blends right into the sauce. If you don’t have a microplane zester, you can finely mince the garlic.
Don’t use packaged American cheese. It’s not the same thing as what you’ll get at the deli counter, which can be purchased in blocks.
If you have a food processor, you can save a ton of time by using the shredding disc attachment to grate the cheese.

[www.inewsguyana.com] – British High Commissioner to Guyana, Greg Quinn has invited the Guyana Government to submit proposals to access a £300 million fund as recently announced by the British Prime Minister.
Delivered in collaboration with the Caribbean Development Bank, the infrastructure fund will use money from the UK’s existing aid budget to provide grants over the next few years for a range of projects.
It is hoped that the projects will help boost growth and trade across the region; creating jobs and opening up new market opportunities for British businesses.
The Infrastructure Fund will be available to eight Commonwealth countries in the region eligible for official development assistance, including Jamaica, Guyana, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, St Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda and St Vincent & the Grenadines as well as Montserrat as an ODA-eligible Overseas Territory.
The Smart Hospitals Programme will build on a successful £8.4 million pilot programme with new funding of £30 million. Funding will be available to seven ODA-eligible Commonwealth countries in the region: Jamaica, Guyana, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, St Lucia and St Vincent & the Grenadines.
High Commissioner Quinn, at a press conference on Friday, stated that the Guyana Government would have to prioritize what projects they think need the grant funding and submit proposals.
He hinted at areas such as airstrip development and the construction of a new bridge across the Demerara River.
Another area of key interest was the development of Guyana’s security sector.
Asked whether UK private sector would be given preference with such proposals, Quinn responded in the negative noting that the grant funding does not have any such strings attached.


I am just back from a refreshing trip to the Himalayan mountains in North Sikkim. There I saw how the environment is being polluted everyday by smokey tourist vehicles. Even the landscapes at above 17,800 feet are not spared from grasp of so-called “tourism”. Tourism in hilly areas like Sikkim, is definitely a means of economic development. But I doubt if it is always good for the nature and environment around us! What do you say?

Russian Beacon satellite set to light up the night sky: 'Artificial star' would reflect sunlight to illuminate parts of Earth
- Crowdfunding target for next stage of testing has now been reached
- Raised almost 1.8 million rubles (£17,365/$24,235) from 2,322 sponsors
- It will be launched from a Soyuz 2 rocket with help from Roscosmos
- Made of a reflective thin polymer film 20 times thinner than human hair
- See more news from Russia at www.dailymail.co.uk/russia
The brightest star in the night sky is Sirius, known as the 'dog star' or Alpha Canis Majoris.
But that could be about to change if a crowdfunded project in Russia takes off as planned later this year.
Called the 'Mayak' or 'Beacon' project, engineers are hoping to launch a satellite that will become the brightest object in our skies, apart from the sun, thanks to a giant reflective sheet of material.
Engineers on the the 'Mayak' or 'Beacon' project are hoping to launch a satellite (illustrated) that will become the brightest object in our skies, apart from the sun, thanks to a giant reflective sheet of material
The launch is scheduled for the summer and is expected to be taken up in a Soyuz 2 rocket, with help from Roscosmos, the Russian space agency.
The team is planning to place the spacecraft in a sun-synchronous orbit 370 miles (600km) above the ground.
This means it will always be in the path of sunlight, so will always be shining at different locations on Earth as it rotates.
CROWDFUNDING SPACE PROJECTS
Crowdfunding has become a popular way of raising money for space exploration projects in the last few years.
In 2013, the asteroid-mining company Planetary Resources raised more than $1.5 million (£1m) via the crowdfunding site Kickstarter to help develop its public-use Arkyd space telescope.
The company's first space craft was successfully deployed from the International Space Station (ISS) last year.
Another Kickstarter campaign by a group called Lunar Mission One, aiming to send a robotic spacecraft to drill deep into the rocks near the moon's south pole, received more than $1 million (£716,000) in pledges in 2014.
The small spacecraft will launch a giant pyramid-shaped solar reflector in orbit.
The reflector is 170 square feet (16 square metres) in size and made of a thin polymer film 20 times thinner than human hair.
The aim of the project is to promote space research in the country, and to make science and engineering more appealing to young Russians.
The satellite itself won't serve a particular purpose, other than to prove what can be possible in the field.
A previous proposal, which involved attaching a reflective panel of plastic to a cargo ship heading to the Mir space station, was designed to see if orbiting mirrors could illuminate cities or other parts of Earth by reflecting sunlight.
The idea was that the mirrors could extend daylight hours for farmers, for example, reports Ars Technica.
The Mayak project team recently announced it has raised enough money to undergo the next stage of the rocket's testing.
The team is planning to place the spacecraft in a sun-synchronous orbit 370 miles (600km) above the ground. This means it will always be in the path of sunlight, so will always be shining at different locations on Earth as it rotates. Researchers testing a prototype are shown
The target of 1.5 million rubles (£14,537/$20,320) has now been surpassed and as of Tuesday morning, the team had raised almost 1.8 million rubles from 2,322 sponsors on their Boomstarter crowdfunding page

I’ve met so many people moving to metro Aurora who are shocked at what they perceive to be a massive homeless problem. What they don’t understand is that homelessness along the Front Range is about like anywhere else — we simply don’t hide it.
It’s a complicated problem in part because, for many vagrants, it’s not a problem at all. Not for them, nor should it be.
The real problem that Aurora says it will spend about $4.5 million on in the next two years just became more acute this week by Denver shooing vagrants off Downtown sidewalks. The problem is we treat homelessness as a single problem, when it’s actually wide variety of issues.
There are three kinds of homeless people. First, there are people who don’t want to be homeless. Then there are people who do want to be homeless. And then the people who are so messed up for a long list of reasons, they just end up being homeless but probably wouldn’t be if they were able to get it together. And like a giant Venn diagram encircling an endless herd of shopping carts, sleeping bags, ratty coats and wheeled luggage, homeless people constantly move from one flavor to the other.
This week, Denver finally lost patience with the growing number of homeless people who’ve set up camp in parts of Downtown, claiming sidewalks, alleys and tiny plots of nothing as their own. Saying there’s plenty of room in city shelters, they’re confiscating their camps and telling them to move along.
You know they will. Besides the few stubborn types, they’ll be moving down to Cherry Creek, the South Platte River, Clear Creek and Aurora.
Aurora and much of the Colfax corridor have long been favorite haunts of vagrants. Aurora officials know that’s going to get worse even if Denver doesn’t annoy its own vagrants out this way. When the long-delayed Aurora Veterans Hospital on the old Fitzsimons campus finally opens in about two years, Colfax — and especially the area around the new VA hospital — will be awash in homeless veterans. I promise.
Aurora is right on in realizing it’s going to take lots of money and focus to come to grips with this before things get as ugly as they are in Downtown Denver. City leaders should be lauded for doing the right thing.
But here’s where it’s going to ugly for a lot of people right now: figuring out just what the “right thing” is.
Most of what we see and know about vagrants may be unpleasant, but it’s not a crime, and we have no business — none — imposing housing on anyone. It may be undesirable to not have a home, but it’s undesirable to be overweight, smoke cigarettes or gamble away your paycheck. We can’t, nor should we, make those shortcomings illegal any more than we should make it a crime to not have a home.
Lots of homeless people don’t want to be homeless. And we have a responsibility that benefits all society to help people help themselves and get off the streets and creeks and into a home. Often overlooked is that homelessness is as much a symptom as it is a problem. People become homeless because of bad things beyond their control, bad things they brought on themselves, bad choices, bad genes and bad luck. Here’s where cities like Aurora and Denver can help. They can provide mental health treatment ± a huge issue and need — and they can provide programs to temporarily house people and get them to be able to eventually house themselves.
But there’s a huge population of people who don’t want to sober up, quit doing drugs, get a job or just deal with the responsibility of life. In a better world, every homeless person would take care of themselves and live happily ever after in a furnished three-story walk-up. In the real world, there are herds of people so blinded by alcoholism, mental illness, dysfunction and past abuse that they will never become who we wish they would be. And there is a smaller group of people who may pretty much be able to keep it together, but they just don’t want to.
We have to be OK with that. We don’t have to let them harass business patrons and camp out on sidewalks and in parks. But if vagrants want to wander inside malls, up and down Colfax, Havana, Broadway or Cherry Creek Drive all day or night, we have to let them. And the sooner we’re OK with realizing there will always be people who may not choose to be homeless but do choose to not pursue a home, the better for everyone. When it’s dangerously cold or they get tired of being shooed along and make their way to shelters, the opportunity to nudge them into getting off the streets will always be there. We can’t give up on vagrants, but we have to realize there are many of these people who will not be compelled to give it up. That’s their constitutional right, and that’s something we must come to grips with before we set out to “solve” the problem of homelessness.
It means that there’s going to be a lot of looking the other way when people doze off in parks, hang for a night under remote bridges or beg for cash. It means that cops are going to get lots of calls to shoo away vagrants from schools and Colfax businesses. Police can only do so much because rounding up and rousting every vagrant in Aurora will bankrupt the city. Aurora will have to build and manage a large shelter or many shelters, most likely on or near the Fitzsimons campus.
The problem will never be solved, but it can be managed. And it starts with helping all of Aurora accepting that touchstone before we spend a single dime.

Summary: Brixham to Dartmouth (via Dittisham). 14.5 miles in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Very little wind, so we ended up motoring all the way despite a few attempts to sail.
A short trip today. We pottered around from Brixham to Dartmouth. The wind was very light and though we tried pulling the jib out, there really wasn’t enough apparent wind to fill it, so we gave up and just motored all the way round. The entrance to Dartmouth is lovely with Kingswear Castle one side and Dartmouth Castle the other. Kingswear Castle (the smaller of the two) was finished in 1503. The battering it received from the wind and sea meant that they had to replace the standard iron cannons with brass ones as they just corroded too badly. However, it was abandoned within 50 years once guns got more powerful as they could cover the whole river just from Dartmouth Castle. Kingswear Castle has now been restored by the Landmark Trust and can be rented from them. They have restored the ground floor so it is just as it would have been in 1503. Dartmouth Castle is owned by English Heritage and a popular local attracation.
We decided when we came in to motor up to Dittisham to have a look up the river – a lovely wooded river, though rapidly becoming over-crowded with boats in the lower reaches. This wasn’t helped by the fact that the Royal Dart Yacht Club is hosting the J80 World Championships for 2012 this week. We turned round at Dittisham and came into the Darthaven Marina on the Kingswear side. The marina is right beside the Dart Valley Railway and ever so often loud whistles pierce the air as train run to Paignton via Agatha Christies House – Greenway, now owned by the National Trust who also own much of the coastline around here.
Moored on a fore and aft mooring at the end of the pontoon we are on, is the famous yacht ‘British Steel’. She was built in 1970 for Chay Blyth who in 1971 was the first person to sail non-stop around the world against the prevailing winds and currents. She was designed by the Naval Architect Robert Clark and built by George Philip and Son at Noss on the River Dart, so very appropriate that she is still moored here. She was described as a state of the art yacht for her time and thanks to her using steel for her construction, the British Steel Corporation (now Corus) agreed to sponsor him for his trip. The voyage took 292 days and we can only imagine how tough that must have been going westabout round the Southern Ocean. She is looking a little tired, but has apparently been bought by a group of enthusiasts and she will be restored for charter and adventure sailing trips.
In the morning we headed over on the ferry to Dartmouth for a wander round and were pleasantly surprised. Though there was a preponderance of galleries and tea rooms, the town nevertheless had a nice feel about it and was pleasant to wander around. Just by the ferry we spotted a blue plaque on a house where John Davis lived between 1550 and 1605. Davis developed the navigational instrument called the Davis Quadrant. This was used by navigators the world over to help establish their position. He was also a well known explorer and navigator and discovered the Falkland Islands in 1592. It is thought he sailed with Walter Raleigh between 1596-7 to Cadiz and the Azores.
We headed back on the ferry (the car ferry rather than the passenger one as it was cheaper) and then after lunch headed off for a circular walk to the Brownstone Battery on Froward Point and back. The walk was rather up hill and down dale, but, despite the rain, was a very varied and pleasant walk. The best view was from Froward Point where the Brownstone Battery was built to guard the coast from possible German attack in 1942. The site was equipped with two six-inch guns taken from a First World War battleship. these guns had a range of 14 miles. The station was manned by up to 300 soldiers and the guns were combined with powerful searchlights and barbed wire on all the cliffs. The Brownstone Battery is now manned by the National Coastwatch Institute. This is a volunteer organisation that keeps a watch from 46 stations around the UK. The Froward Point station has been manned since 2005.

In December 2019, the World Health Organization was alerted to a novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China.
The virus quickly spread, with confirmed cases in nearly every country. The first confirmed cases in the United States were reported in January. The Centers for Disease Control reported few confirmed cases throughout January and February, but March and April showed an exponential growth of cases, forcing communities to shut down to slow the rate of infections entering the healthcare system for treatment. Hospitals in hot spots funneled all resources into combating the virus, and those hospitals yet to be affected drastically changed budgets and purchasing habits in preparation. Hospitals and governments scrambled to find the additional equipment needed for treating patients and to protect hospital workers with little regard to how much it would cost, taking funds from any department that had funds available.
Hospitals have moved mammography system and upgrade purchases to the “back burner” as they shift resources to combat COVID-19. TractManager saw client interest for women’s health equipment decrease by nearly half in March 2020, as compared to activity in prior months. Activity has yet to increase since this significant drop, remaining steady into May. Most hospitals currently looking into this equipment are not expecting to purchase anytime soon, but they do want to be prepared to make a quick purchase when and if funds become available later in 2020. Of the hospitals that are preparing for future mammography purchases, most are larger organizations that have a better chance at surviving the decrease in revenue from elective procedures than do smaller hospitals. Based on 2018 and 2019 data, without the pandemic we would have expected to see an increase in activity for this technology in March, with peak activity occurring throughout Q2.
TractManager has not had any activity for 2D systems in the last 12 months, as hospitals have shifted to using 3D systems with 2D synthesizing software or have upgraded their 2D systems to 3D. For tomosynthesis systems, Hologic remains the market leader throughout this crisis. However, Hologic dropped from 89% to 77% in quote activity since Q1 2020 based on TractManager data. Activity for GE Healthcare, Siemens Healthineers, and Fujifilm has remained relatively steady. This significant decrease for Hologic is due to decreased demand for this technology. Other women’s health technologies are experiencing the same decrease in interest as mammography.
Each vendor offers its systems with several options to customize the configuration to best fit a hospital’s needs and budget. Hologic’s most popular systems are its high-end 3Dimensions and its low-end Selenia Dimensions 3D Performance. GE Healthcare offers the Senographe Pristina, Siemens Healthineers has its MAMMOMAT Revelation, and Fujifilm offers the Aspire Cristalle. Recent months’ data does not show an increase in lower-end systems or a decrease in highly configured systems. However, this will possibly change as hospitals obtain a better grasp on what they can budget for this technology post-pandemic.
According to MarketsandMarkets, the global mammography market was projected to grow from $3.7 billion to $5.4 billion between 2020 and 2025, due to increasing government investments in breast cancer detection and treatment, increased awareness by the general population, and a growing and aging population that is at risk for breast cancer. This projection may no longer be realistic, since the pandemic is currently having a global impact on healthcare systems and supply chains, and may impact future technological advancements.
As with all things impacted by COVID-19, the future of the mammography market is uncertain, and will largely depend on how long the pandemic continues and how severely it damages the economy. It is likely hospitals will have smaller budgets and may choose to keep currently installed systems for longer, opting out of newly available upgrades and keeping smaller fleets in operation, or they may consider purchasing refurbished systems over new. The behavior of hospitals after the pandemic could also limit market growth and technological breakthroughs. Vendors may shift more of their resources to developing other technologies if they receive too little revenue for mammography, slowing progress in women’s health. Continued observation and analysis will be needed to understand the long-term effects that the pandemic will have on the mammography market.

The King brothers stood still, too shocked to move or speak. They thought their father was long gone, that he wasn't a threat. But he was back now and he took the most precious thing to those boys. Their sister. Xander broke the deafening silence as he charges towards Margaret. He takes his knife out striding confidently to her. Not taking his eyes off her.
"Rot in hell." He growls out at her as he shoves the dagger into her stomach. Margaret screams in pain. He takes the dagger out and repeatedly stabs her until all that was left was her dead punctured body, blood surrounding her.
The others stare at her dead body in hatred and relief, she finally is no longer an issue.
Xander stands back up with tears running down his face, his mother's blood all over his body. He's drenched in it.
Henry being Henry rushes to his younger brother to comfort him. The others stand there emotionless.
As if something clicks in all six of the men's heads, they look at each other and start sprinting towards the doors. Dodging dead bodies they make their way out of the fortress like building. Running through the woods the only thing on their mind is Daisy.
Their little sister. Their girl.
They make it to the car and speed towards the Italian base which is over an hour drive away. Dante swerves in and out of traffic, running through red lights and almost killing a few pedestrians effectively making the hour long ride close to only half an hour.
The boys all sit in the car antsy at the fact that they are so far from Daisy. If Margaret was not lying than that means she's already gone.
James is taking this the hardest. He is regretting every single life choice he's made up to this very moment.
He regrets letting his father go all those years ago instead of killing him. He regrets letting Margaret in his house two years ago, he regrets not moving out of the house after her visit. He regrets how he let Margaret cloud his judgment a few days ago. He knew that the safe house was probably the safest Daisy would have been even though there was an attack on it, at least it wasn't the widely known Italian base. He regrets leaving Daisy alone this morning, in a mafia base. He regrets not giving her another hug. He has a million things he wants to say to her but now it might be too late.
Xander sits in the passenger seat numb to everything going on around him. He hated his mother he hated what she did to his best friend, his sister. He hated that even though she was a sadistic bitch, he still felt some sort of feeling towards her. Not love, he could never love her. But he hated the fact that he just brutally murdered the woman who birthed him. That's all she was to him, but still he never thought he would kill his own flesh.
Noah sits in his seat anxiously bouncing his leg. He is indifferent to what his brothers are thinking. He doesn't want to believe that Margaret was telling the truth. He doesn't want to believe that Daisy is really gone. That she is in the hands of their satanic father.
Fear courses through Roman at the thought that Daisy is with their father. Years ago Roman had walked into the basement where his father was torturing one of their men solely because he was late to an important meeting. Roman watched as his satanic father tortured the man like he was his worst enemy. Roman never told anyone what he saw and now if Daisy is stuck with this man, she is in danger of his wrath.
Henry feels anger. He was always the calmest, the most level headed. But now all he could feel was anger. He feels anger to his mother, to his father, and to himself. He should've never left her alone. He should've fought James to let him stay at the base, they would have been okay without him and now his Daisy is gone.

The Honda NSX, known in America as an Acura, began life over 25 years ago as a lower-priced and mechanically reliable alternative to the V8-powered Ferrari supercars.
Introduced in 1990, the NSX became the world’s first mass-produced car to feature an all-aluminum body and was powered by an aluminum 3.0-liter V6 engine, which featured Honda’s VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system, along with a choice between a 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmission.
The NSX became a spectacular success and remained in production until 2005. Fans mourned the loss of their Japanese supercar and eagerly watched the headlines in anticipation of its return.
As of this year, the NSX is not only back with a vengeance, but it will likely launch an entire platform of supercar goodness.
Honda announced the return of the NSX in December 2011 and showed a concept version at the 2012 North American International Auto Show. The production model debuted three years later and finally went on sale earlier this year with a hybrid powertrain powered by a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine and three electric motors, along with a 9-speed dual-clutch transmission.
With a starting MSRP of about $156,000, the new NSX has officially been upgraded to true supercar status. And more versions are coming.
According to NSX project boss Ted Klaus, Honda is contemplating convertible, lightweight, non-hybrid and all-electric versions, one of which is set to wear the Type R badge.
We highly doubt any of these new models will be attainable for the average car buyer, but we sure like the idea of spreading the NSX love and giving affluent aficionados options beyond the current hybrid coupe.
Klaus went on to say that the base car had been over-engineered in order to accommodate harder, faster versions and different powertrains.
There isn’t another supercar in existence that can be had in either hybrid, full-electric, or gas-only powertrains. If Honda delivers, it’ll once again change the world of supercars.
Would you rather have the hybrid, a gas-powered Type R, or an all-electric version of the Acura NSX?

Office of Community Sector Safe Under Victorian Coalition
2 December 2010 at 3:26 pm
The Victorian Office of the Community Sector is expected to be safe under the new Coalition Government.
The Office for the Community Sector has recently been working to draw up the common funding framework allowing organisations that receive money from multiple government departments to sign the one funding agreement.
Under the Directorship of Lynne Wannan the OCS has been talking with the Federal Government about the framework and its possible national implications.

She won a national award for this leadership and was also a finalist in the Telstra Business Women awards.
Jan Owen, the FYA’s current CEO, congratulated Minister Woolridge on her appointment saying her organisation is looking forward to a close working relationship with her in this new position.
Owen says she has no doubt the new Minister will make a valuable contribution to the needs of children and young people across Victoria.
Previously Mary Wooldridge was Senior Adviser to the Federal Minister for Industry, worked in New York with McKinsey & Company and with Consolidated Press Holdings in Sydney.
She has a Master of Business Administration from Harvard University and a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) from the University of Melbourne.
Wooldridge is a Director of The Otis Foundation, a Bendigo based breast cancer charity founded by her husband Andrew Barling.
Wooldridge is one of four women named in the Coalition line-up which includes:
Ted Baillieu – Premier and minister for the Arts
Peter Ryan – Deputy Premier
David Davis – health minister; and ageing minister;
Louise Asher – tourism and major events; and innovation, services and small business minister;
Robert Clark – attorney-general and finance minister;

The conventional workplace paradigm has changed as a result of the digital era and technology advancements, which have made it possible for many professionals to work remotely. This essay will look at the realm of distant work, pertinent data, the sectors seeing the most significant increases in remote employment, the advantages and disadvantages of sheltered employment, and practical ways to roll out working solutions for remote jobs successfully.
The Growing Trend of Remote Jobs
Remote job trends
The proliferation of remote work is evident in the statistics. In the past decade, there has been a steady rise in the number of individuals who work remotely, and this trend shows no signs of abating. As of 2021, approximately 24% of the U.S. workforce had operated remotely in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this shift is not limited to a temporary reaction to a global crisis.
Beyond the United States, this trend is global. In the Asia-Pacific region, countries like India have seen significant growth in remote work, with 80% of professionals expressing a preference for remote or flexible work.
Industries that see the highest growth of remote jobs
The remote work trend is broader than specific industries but has seen significant growth in sectors that accommodate remote work. These include:
- Technology: Unsurprisingly, the technology sector leads the way in embracing remote work. With jobs ranging from software development to IT support, technology companies often have the infrastructure to support remote teams.
- Finance and Banking: Many financial and banking institutions have adopted remote work to facilitate back-office operations, customer service, and remote consultation services.
- Customer Service: The customer service industry has witnessed a considerable shift to remote work, thanks to the availability of cloud-based customer service platforms and advanced telephony systems.
Benefits and Challenges of Remote Jobs
Advantages of Remote Work:
Remote jobs offer a multitude of advantages, both for employees and employers. Some of the key benefits include:
Flexibility: Remote work allows employees to set their schedules and accommodate personal and family needs. This adaptability promotes work-life balance, increasing job satisfaction and overall well-being.
Cost Savings: Working remotely often translates to significant cost savings. Employees can avoid daily commutes, saving on transportation costs and reducing their carbon footprint. Employers, too, benefit from reduced overhead expenses associated with maintaining physical offices.
Increased Productivity: Studies have shown remote workers can be more productive than their in-office counterparts. The absence of workplace distractions, shorter commutes, and personalized work environments contribute to higher levels of efficiency.
Access to Global Talent: Remote employment removes geographical barriers, allowing firms to access a worldwide talent pool. This enables businesses to have access to specialized expertise and varied viewpoints, promoting innovation and growth.
Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them:
While remote employment offers numerous advantages, they also have their own set of obstacles. Here, we go deeper into these issues and offer ways for efficiently overcoming them:
Challenge: Remote work can be isolating. Employees may miss a traditional office’s camaraderie and social interactions, which can lead to feelings of loneliness and disconnection.
Solution: Combat isolation by fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie among remote team members:
- Regular Virtual Team Meetings: Schedule frequent video conferences or virtual team meetings to maintain face-to-face interaction. These meetings can serve as opportunities for socialization, brainstorming, and updates on ongoing projects.
- Digital Socializing: Encourage informal digital socializing through chat channels dedicated to non-work-related discussions. These virtual water cooler conversations help remote employees bond and feel more connected.
- Coworking Spaces: For those who prefer a physical workspace, consider utilizing coworking spaces. These shared office environments provide the social atmosphere of a traditional workplace while allowing for remote work flexibility.
Challenge: Effective communication is vital for remote teams, but various factors, including different time zones, communication preferences, and potential misinterpretation of messages, can hinder it.
Solution: Overcome communication challenges by implementing transparent communication practices:
- Clear Communication Channels: Define and use clear communication channels for different types of messages. Email, instant messaging, video conferencing, and project management tools all have their place. Establish guidelines for when to use each method.
- Regular Updates: Require regular status updates from team members. Daily or weekly reports inform everyone about project progress, goals, and challenges.
- Setting Expectations for Response Times: Establish expectations for response times to emails and messages. Clarity about when a response is required can reduce unnecessary delays and frustration.
Managing Work Hours
Challenge: Balancing work hours and personal time can be significant in a remote environment. Work and personal life boundaries can blur, leading to overwork or underwork.
Solution: Effectively manage work hours by implementing strategies that maintain a healthy work-life balance:
- Acall’s Spot Check-In Feature: Utilize specialized software like Acall, which offers a “Spot Gate Check-In” feature. This feature allows employees to log their work hours and breaks, providing transparency in work hours and promoting accountability.
- Time Management Tools: Encourage employees to use time management tools and techniques. These tools can help track work hours and ensure tasks are completed within designated timeframes.
- Set Boundaries: Encourage remote workers to establish boundaries between work and personal life. Define work hours, create a designated workspace, and stick to a daily routine to maintain structure.
Challenge: Employers may need help with monitoring productivity in remote teams. Concerns about how much work is being completed can lead to questions about accountability.
Solution: Address productivity concerns by implementing effective monitoring and performance management practices:
- Productivity Tracking Tools: Utilize productivity tracking tools that help monitor employee tasks and progress. These tools provide insights into the work completed and time spent on each task.
- Setting Clear Performance Expectations: Instead of focusing solely on the hours worked, set clear performance expectations and key performance indicators (KPIs) for remote employees. Measuring output and results can be a more accurate way to gauge productivity.
- Regular Performance Reviews: Conduct performance reviews to provide feedback, discuss progress, and set goals. These reviews help employees understand their strengths and areas for improvement.
The rise of working solutions for remote jobs is a transformational shift in the world of work. However, its challenges include isolation, communication hurdles, work-hour management, and productivity monitoring. In the end, remote jobs offer a dynamic and promising future for the world of work, one where talent knows no borders and flexibility is the new norm. Contact us if you need assistance finding a suitable working solution for your space.

Sweet surprise for Treasury as sugar tax puts more than expected in the pot
Treasury collected a bit more than R1bn in sugar tax revenue between April 1 and August 31, and had expected to collect R1.64bn during the entire 2018-2019 fiscal year to March 31
The Treasury has generated more money than it anticipated from its new tax on sugary drinks, despite moves by some manufacturers to reformulate products to reduce their sugar content.
The government introduced a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages on April 1, as part of its efforts to combat obesity and its related health risks. The Treasury calls it the health promotion levy, and it has been set at 2.1c for every gram of sugar per 100ml above a 4g threshold: in other words, the first 4g of sugar per 100ml are exempt from the levy.
The Treasury said it had collected a little more than R1bn in revenue from the sugar tax between April 1 and the end of August, slightly ahead of its projections. It had anticipated collecting R1.64bn during the entire 2018-2019 fiscal year, which ends on March 31.
The Treasury’s chief director for economics and tax analysis, Christopher Axelson, said there could be several explanations for the higher-than-expected revenue. “Either the surveys we used to make the calculations underestimated the consumption of sugary beverages, or producers have not reformulated as much as we thought, or consumers have not decreased their consumption of sugary beverages as much as we estimated,” he said.
The Healthy Living Alliance’s executive director, Sibongile Nkosi, said researchers at Wits were currently evaluating the levy. “We are seeing a lot of re-formulation and new sizes, but we are not sure if industry is absorbing the tax or putting up prices,” she said.
The Beverage Association of SA (BevSA), said it was too soon to gauge the effect of the levy and that it planned to commission a study to determine its effects.
“BevSA has also run an education campaign to encourage healthy consumption of beverages, proper nutrition and exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle with the aim of reducing obesity and noncommunicable diseases in SA,” said BevSA’s GM for corporate services, Mpho Thothela.


3 Fresh Ways to Look at Stale Blog Topics
Sometimes us bloggers get in a funk. I know this because I’m experiencing it as we speak. Creating new angles to tackle your topics and keep your audience engaged is a constant challenge.
And if you’re writing about a topic that’s receiving a lot of attention and seems played out, the even bigger challenge is how you can make it your own and stand out amongst all the other posts.
This is why I want to share some tips on how to take that seemingly boring topic and infuse it with character.
- Figures of speech
- Exploring opposites
- Using idealism
- FAQ: How can I infuse creativity into my blog posts using creative blogging techniques?
This is a fun creative writing technique that can help you put an original spin on a topic. Think of the potential topic you want to blog about and look at it in terms of a simile, for example.
A simile is a figure of speech where two unlike things are compared.
An example of this was a recent post where I talked about why social media is like getting out of a warm bed.
Once you’ve figured out a clever angle, you can spend the remainder of the post detailing the many ways your subject is similar or different to something else through comparison and contrast methods.
Try tackling your topic from the complete opposite point of view. This opens up new perspectives for your post.
For example, let’s say your topic was “Why White Hat SEO Rules,” but you really want it to be a powerful post that’s tackled from all angles to help make your point.
Try, then, thinking in terms of why Black Hat SEO sucks – or even why some people think it’s great, to start building a deeper case.
If you start exploring the opposite of your opinion or belief, it can open the doors for a more insightful post and open your mind to new possibilities.
This can be a great way to look at an issue you are exploring as if the problem was already solved.
Let’s say you’re passionate about eradicating spam from the search results, and you want to write a post about how search engines could improve.
Instead of listing all the things that are wrong with search engines, start with the assumption that things are already exactly how you want them to be and work from there.
What would a spam-free SERP look like? How would it feel? What value would it provide? What potential issues arise from there? And so on. Once you start thinking in terms of solutions, it can help solve the problem.
On the same note, once you’ve envisioned the problem already solved, it may open up ideas on what the next steps are. This can give an added perspective that perhaps no one has talked about before.
Let’s try to combat blogger burnout together! Do you have any great ideas on how to produce creative posts or add fresh new twists on topics? Please let us know in the comments section below!
Move away from stale blog topics and infuse your blog posts with creative blogging techniques. Reach out to us.
Creativity stands as the driving force behind successful blog posts. The spark captivates your audience and sets your content apart from the rest. As an expert in the field, I’m here to guide you on infusing creativity into your blog posts through creative blogging techniques.
- Understanding Your Audience: The foundation of any creative blog post is knowing your audience. To infuse creativity effectively, you must first comprehend what your readers seek. Conduct thorough research to identify their interests, pain points, and preferences. This understanding will provide a solid base for crafting content that resonates with your target demographic.
- Storytelling: Stories have the power to engage readers emotionally. Craft a compelling narrative that weaves your message seamlessly. Whether a personal anecdote or a fictional story, storytelling adds depth and uniqueness to your blog posts, making them memorable.
- Visual Appeal: Utilize visuals to enhance your content. Incorporate images, infographics, and videos to break up the text and make your blog posts visually appealing. This not only helps convey your message effectively but also stimulates creativity in your readers.
- Diverse Content Formats: Experiment with various content formats. Don’t limit yourself to text-only posts. Try podcasts, video blogs (vlogs), or interactive quizzes. Diversifying your content keeps your audience engaged and opens new creative avenues.
- Collaboration: Collaborate with other creative minds in your niche. Guest posts and co-authored pieces can infuse fresh perspectives and ideas into your blog. The synergy of different creative voices can result in something truly remarkable.
- Use of Metaphors and Analogies: Creative writing often involves drawing connections between seemingly unrelated concepts. Metaphors and analogies can inject creativity by helping readers see your topic from a new and imaginative angle.
- Unique Titles and Headlines: Your audience first sees the title. Make it intriguing, and dare to be different. Creative titles and headlines pique curiosity and encourage readers to explore your content.

Innovative Chinese concept for non-stop train
This is a brilliant Chinese concept for non-stop train. If there are 30 railway stations to cross when a fast moving bullet train is operated between two cities, just stopping and accelerating again at each station will waste both energy and time. A mere 5 min stop per station will result in a total loss of 5 min x 30 stations or 2.5 hours. So the basic idea revolves around how a fast moving train could be run without stopping in any of the stations and yet commute passengers from one station to the other.
How it works:
The passengers at a station embarks on to a connector cabin way before the train even arrives at the station. When the train arrives, it will not stop at all. It just slows down to pick up the connector cabin which will move with the train on the roof of the train.
While the train is still moving away from the station, those passengers will board the train from the connector cabin mounted on the train’s roof. After fully unloading all its passengers, the cabin connector cabin will be moved to the back of the train so that the next batch of outgoing passengers who want to alight at the next station will board the connector cabin at the rear of the train roof.
When the train arrives at the next station, it will simply drop the whole connector cabin at the station itself. The outgoing passengers can take their own time to disembark at the station while the train had already left. At the same time, the train will pick up the incoming embarking passengers on another connector cabin in the front part of the train’s roof.
So the train will always drop one connector cabin at the rear of its roof and pick up a new connector cabin in the front part of the train’s roof at each station.

One choice Trump Jr. is contemplating in response to the subpoena is to invoke his Fifth Modification rights, and one other is simply to not seem in any respect, in keeping with one supply.

The subpoena for Trump Jr.’s testimony marks an escalation of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s probe into Russian election interreference. The panel’s investigation, led by GOP Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, has been working for greater than two years, and the committee has interviewed lots of the similar witnesses who spoke to Mueller’s crew. The committee has lately begun re-interviewing witnesses, together with Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who appeared for a second time earlier this 12 months.
A committee spokesperson stated: “We don’t focus on the main points of witness engagements with the committee. All through the investigation, the committee has reserved the proper to recall witnesses for extra testimony as wanted, as each witness and witness counsel has been made conscious.”
A supply near Trump Jr. stated in a press release Wednesday that when Trump Jr. testified in 2017, there was an settlement “that he would solely have to come back in and testify a single time so long as he was keen to remain for so long as they’d like, which Don did.”
“Don continues to cooperate by producing paperwork and is keen to reply written questions, however no lawyer would ever agree to permit their consumer to take part in what’s an apparent PR stunt from a so-called ‘Republican’ senator too cowardly to face as much as his boss Mark Warner and the remainder of the resistance Democrats on the committee,” the supply stated.
There are a number of points that the Senate panel is probably going thinking about asking Trump Jr. about, as he is one of many witnesses that the committee’s prime Democrat, Sen. Mark Warner, has prompt ought to return to the committee for extra questioning.
Trump Jr. has already testified underneath oath in 2017 earlier than each the Home and Senate intelligence committees and the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Senate Judiciary Committee launched the transcript publicly.
Trump Jr. declined to talk voluntarily to Mueller, in keeping with the Mueller report, and the particular counsel didn’t search to subpoena him.
Trump Jr.’s testimony has been scrutinized for a way he described his conversations within the lead-up to the June 2016 Trump Tower assembly, wherein he stated that he solely talked to Kushner and former Trump marketing campaign chairman Paul Manafort in regards to the assembly the place a Russian lawyer was providing dust on the Hillary Clinton marketing campaign.
“Was there anybody else?” Trump Jr. was requested.
“No, to not my recollection,” he responded.
Trump Jr. might additionally face questions in regards to the Trump Tower Moscow challenge that Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen labored on in 2015 and 2016. Trump Jr. was the one considered one of Trump’s youngsters who has testified earlier than Congress in regards to the challenge.
Mueller’s report says that Cohen testified he had mentioned the challenge on a number of events with Trump Jr.
“Cohen additionally recalled briefing Donald Trump Jr. within the spring — a dialog that Cohen stated was not ‘idle chit chat’ as a result of Trump Tower Moscow was probably a $1 billion deal,” the report says.

Urbanization has drastically changed biodiversity patterns. While the majority of species cope poorly with urban habitats, some species flourish in cities. Our understanding of behavioral characteristics that facilitate this exploitation, however, remains poor. We explored between and within species and individual variation in behaviors in ecologically similar orbweaving spider species whose abundances differ along the urban–rural gradient.We detect both consistent individual differences and plasticity, in individuals’ response to a novel environment, suggesting that some degree of flexibility in reaction to novelty may be crucial in an urbanized environment. We also found that variation in aggressiveness type enables survival in high density conditions, conditions typical for urban populations. Urban populations thus exhibit a complex pattern of behavioral flexibility and behavioral stability.

Memory Pods – Loss 2014 copyright Douglas Stockdale
I received word from a couple of my friends late last night that my photograph Loss from my Memory Pods project received an Honorary Award during the reception at the Irvine Fine Arts Center reception for the “All Media 2016” exhibition. Wow! This is very, very nice.
And totally unexpected, especially since Jeannie and I were at the exhibition reception earlier in the evening and had left early. We reviewed the exhibition (taking note that my photograph was the first art work hanging at the exhibit entrance) and talking with a few other artists and members of the Photographic Exchange, we went for an early dinner. I was just a happy-camper that one of my photographs from this series was juried in. It looked really nice hanging there.
I was reminded afterward that I should have taken note of the folks who came in the door and who immediately stopped to inspect my framed image with some seeking me out to discuss my photograph. Should have been a clue, which of course means I am truly clueless (yuk, yuk).
Still another validation that I may be on the right track with this project ;- )
Oh, and I forgot to add the photographs from this series to my web site, so something I better complete sooner than later. And I plan to re-photograph the exhibition of this print as I have noticed upon enlargement, this photo is a bit blurry.

The way work gets saved from active memory to storage memory on computers is through connection pipelines—like USB, FireWire, eSATA, and Thunderbolt. Then there is video, converting bytes to visual information via VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, and also Thunderbolt. All of these methods (and more) use specific male/female connectors, often with multiple variations. Among them all, USB has retained the most similarity in the physical plug/port (at least with the Type A connector; there are several other iterations as well) through three major versions of the protocol. It’s been pretty convenient to have one plug system work for USB for so long, even though it would only plug in while in the proper orientation (if you got it wrong you had to rotate the connector 180 degrees before it would properly slide into place). That may soon change. Specifications for a new USB 3.1 “Type C” connector are expected to be finalized next year, and the new plug will be designed to deliver data, power, and video—and will be reversible so it will work when connected in either orientation. See more on the issue here.
