Pioneer Institute Faults Understaffing At COVID-Devastated Holyoke Soldiers' Home
Over the past several weeks, as coronavirus deaths in the United States neared 100,000, the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home has been decimated by COVID-19. With scores of its residents killed by the virus, it is now being investigated by the governor, state attorney general, state inspector general, and U.S. Attorney.
Former Massachusetts Inspector General Gregory Sullivan is Research Director at the Pioneer Institute — which released a new study this week concluding that chronic understaffing due to federal and state standards made the nursing home “particularly vulnerable” during the pandemic.
Give us a sense of what the study found and why you wanted to look into the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home.
Our study basically is pointing out that at the time that the coronavirus pandemic hit the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home, and lead to the to the day of scores of veterans there, were more than 74 as of today, they were already fighting with one hand tied behind their back because of chronic understaffing. So our paper’s looking at recommendations that had been made by the Federal CMS, Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, calling for much higher staffing at facilities like the Holyoke nursing home. And we compared the staffing that was in place at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home before the pandemic hit and showed that it was it was deeply understaffed, particularly with RNs. Probably a lot of people were not aware of the fact that the administration that the state government had done a study that was conducted by the Moakley Center at Suffolk University that pointed out that there was severe understaffing. This judged by the Federal recommendations of CMS at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home before the pandemic hit. And we kind of laid out their analysis in our report. The local SEIU, Local 888 out there at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home, had been screaming bloody murder about understaffing for several years. They’d signed statements widely signed by employees there saying that understaffing was putting the patients in danger. The Springfield Republican Newspaper did an investigative series by reporter Mike Plaisance that laid out the number of falls and injuries which was like a plague at that facility. This is before the pandemic hit. So this paper, the paper that we put out, is pointing out that not just at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home, but in long-term care facilities across the country. There's chronic understaffing, according to experts, and according to the recommendations of the federal office in charge of it, so we there's a problem. In this country, unfortunately, I think this is just a tolerance of a relatively low level of safety care at nursing homes and long-term care facilities. The number of patients who fall and injure themselves is astronomically high. It was high at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home before the pandemic hit. The Springfield Republican investigative series pointing out there has been a tsunami of falls there at the3 Holyoke Soldiers’ Home with veterans falling and being injured. We laid out the details in this report. It's not acceptable and it has to be fixed.
Specifically, what is the staffing level there? What has it been? And when you say chronically understaffed, where should it be in your mind?
Basically, our paper’s pointing out that there was a minimum staffing that's established by the federal and state government facilities like this. The number of employees, of nursing staff, per patient per day. And that minimum standard was met. There were two audits conducted, one by the federal government, one by the state government of the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home in the lead-in one year before the coronavirus pandemic hit the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home that showed that they were meeting minimum staffing. This is countered by the staff at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home which were screaming that they were chronically understaffed and that patients were not safe. That the only way they've been able to jury rig their staffing is by having massive amounts of mandatory overtime and moving, scrambling and moving staff around to adjust. So, in fact, the SEIU Local 888 Union out of Holyoke Soldiers’ Home actually called for, you know, called for the state to step in and have an emergency increase staffing. So their cries were mostly ignored. And when the pandemic hit, they were ill prepared. They were behind the eight ball. They had to go into a fight with one hand tied behind their back to begin with. They were not prepared for the crisis.
Do you think that the way a place like this operates with a sort of mix of federal and state responsibility for the facility played into any of these issues?
Yeah, I think I think that the blame for the understaffing and staffing assignment problems at Holyoke Soldiers’ Home, is it falls on the federal government and the state government. Both. The state government directly runs the facility, but it's under federal standards and the federal reimbursement. So the federal government and the state government really both bear the blame for chronic understaffing at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home that contributed to the problems with deaths when the Coronavirus hit.
We spoke with the Massachusetts State Auditor Suzanne Bump, whose office looked at this facility several years ago. You know, a lot of audits get done in government, as you well know. They don't always or maybe not often lead to immediate action. So what should the Holyoke Soldiers' Home have done to better prepare for a virus like this? I mean, this is something that our healthcare system has never seen before. I guess what I'm asking is, if staffing had been improved, that doesn't necessarily mean that the coronavirus would have been easier to corral in this particular place, right?
No, it's already, some of the facts have already come out about what would happen happening inside the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home when the COVID-19 virus hit. And they made mistakes. Part of it was made worse by the fact that they were that they were understaffed. But if a patient were in a room with four patients in a room, one contracted COVID-19. They, they moved the other patients out of that room into the general population on other wards. This looking back was a terrible mistake because those the patients had been exposed to the first patient. In other words, the intermingling of patients with symptoms of COVID-19, they were kind of oblivious to this. Staff was also assigned, staff who was working in the COVID-19 patients were then working on the same shifts with non COVID-19 patients. It was a management catastrophe from a public health point of view at Holyoke Soldiers’ Home. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine the challenge that they were up against there with this completely overwhelming and unexpected attack of COVID-19. But containment of viruses within a continuing care facility or nursing home is one of the principal jobs. This is something that they should have been prepared for.
I mentioned in the introduction that you spent, you know, two terms as the state Inspector General. There's obviously a lot of investigations going on right now, at least four that we’re aware of, of what happened here. In general, what kind of things are looked at in an investigation after a tragedy like this?
Well, we have a whole series of investigations underway from the US Attorney's Office, civil rights, the state attorney general, and the state inspector general. And they're looking at different aspects of what happened. I think that the inspector general's office will be going back and doing a retrospective and trying to analyze and pull apart what happened. And I think a lot of the intent in a review like this is to find out exactly what went wrong to prevent that from happening again, in other facilities. I think they will look at the actions that were taken by the administrators, actions that were taken by the funding agencies. The regulations, whether they were followed, etc. You know, it's a retrospective critique of what happened. It's not really looking for fraud or criminality. It's looking for mismanagement and mistakes so that they can be corrected in the future.
Your latest paper, the Pioneer Institute's paper, is getting a good bit of attention now since the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home is a national news story. The headline on it is that these standards were the federal standard, so that your point is a lot of the problems we saw there were inevitable in a way. How do you change a federal standard like that?
Well, as our paper’s pointing out, the US Center of Medicaid Medicare Services recommended 4.1 hours of nursing staff on hand per patient per day. That's a standard that they think was necessary for safety. But the federal agency that oversees the nursing homes and like the Soldiers’ Home, didn't take their recommendation. They said they only need 2.5 hours. That's a lot less. So I hope that the rash of tragedy at veterans homes across the country, with Holyoke being the worst in the country, will draw our attention to the need to increase safety staffing levels, at long-term care facilities in the United States.
Greg, is there anything I didn't ask you that you'd like to add?
I would say for the families of the soldiers who died at the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home, it's a horrible irony and a tragedy that these great soldiers would suffer death at the hands of an event like this. It's terrible, in our opinion, part of it was due to the negligence of the federal and state government not providing sufficient staffing.

By Steven Edwards
NEW YORK – CNN’s celebrity talk show host Piers Morgan and a British lawmaker have been involved in a heated on-air argument over Britain’s phone hacking scandal.
Mr. Morgan demanded Tory MP Louise Mensch apologize for claiming in a parliamentary committee that he had admitted using phone hacking to get stories when he was editor of the Daily Mirror tabloid more than seven years ago. But Ms. Mensch has been standing her ground.The pair have indulged in angry Twitter exchanges after clashing for nine minutes Tuesday in a CNN Situation Room segment.
On Tuesday, the MP said during a committee hearing that Mr. Morgan – in his book The Insider: The Private Diaries of a Scandalous Decade – “boasted” of phone hacking when he ran the Mirror.
According to Ms. Mensch, he said the “trick” even helped him win the British Press Award’s “Scoop of the Year” prize. It was for a salacious story about former England soccer manager Sven Goran Eriksson.
“That is a former editor of the Daily Mirror being very open about his personal use of phone hacking,” she said as she sought to preface a question for Rupert Murdoch by suggesting hacking was widespread throughout the British tabloid media.
However, as The New York Times reports, Mr. Morgan wrote that he suspected that he had been a victim of phone hacking, not that his reporters had used the practice to get information.
The paper said Mr. Morgan wrote that he was puzzled as to how other newspapers had obtained confidential information about him. He wrote: “I am mystified. But someone suggested today that people might be listening to my mobile messages. Apparently, if you don’t change the standard security code that every phone comes with, then anyone can call your number and, if you don’t answer, tap in the standard four digit code to hear your messages. I’ll change mine just in case, but it makes me wonder how many public figures and celebrities are aware of this little trick.”
Mr. Morgan accused Ms. Mensch of “cowardice” and of not having “the balls” to repeat the claim beyond the protection of the hearing’s parliamentary “privilege.” Ms. Mensch said she wouldn’t repeat it because Mr. Morgan was “a very rich man” – thereby suggesting he was able to take legal action against her.
Mr. Morgan said she should be investigated for “abusing parliamentary privilege and telling lies,” to which Ms. Mensch replied, “As to threats you’ve just made, they don’t faze me in the slightest.”
Mr. Morgan, who became Mirror editor after working for Rupert Murdoch as editor of the News of the World, said he had never been involved in phone hacking.
Among the pair’s Twitter messages, Mr. Morgan asked journalists to buy his book, saying it was a “good read.”
Ms. Mensch Tweeted: “New American readers may wish to know the circumstances in which Morgan left the Mirror.”
He was fired in 2004 after authorizing the publication of photographs allegedly showing British Army soldiers torturing Iraqis – but which were actually fakes.


By Staff Reporter
SOME 22,114 prisoners are held at various correctional facilities across the country against a combined carrying capacity of 17,000 inmates.
This has given rise to the need to swiftly decongest the institutions to ensure they are habitable.
Addressing the media during a post-Cabinet briefing in Harare Thursday, information minister, Monica Mutsvangwa, said Cabinet had considered and approved the General Amnesty 2022 as proposed by Justice Minister, Ziyambi Ziyambi.
“The nation is being informed that Section 112 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe provides that the President after consultation with Cabinet may exercise the power of mercy to grant pardon to any person convicted of an offence against the law,” she said.
“The rationale behind the proposal is to decongest our prisons, whose population as at 29th August, 2022 stood at 22 114, against an official holding capacity of 17 000 inmates.
- ZIM PRISONS HELL: Murisi languishes in jail 10 years waiting for trial – thousands in same situation
- Prisons under siege as Zimbabwe’s economic woes persist
- Fear Of Covid-19 Spreads In Zimbabwe’s Overcrowded Prisons
“This situation means that 4 798 inmates do not have adequate floor space as required by the Constitution, and this compromises the health of inmates, among other challenges.”
Mutsvangwa highlighted the amnesty excluded the categories of prisoners who include those previously released on amnesty; those serving a sentence imposed by Court Martial; those with a record of escaping from lawful custody; and those convicted of committing specified offences.
“Specified offences include murder; treason; rape or any sexual offences; carjacking; robbery; public violence; human trafficking; unlawful possession of firearms; contravention of the ZESA Act, the PTC Act and MOPA; and any conspiracy, incitement or attempt to commit any of these offences,” Mutsvangwa said.


F-15EX Super Eagle
Initial Operational Capability (IOC):
Origin: United States of America
There are no reviews so far
Description: The F-15 Eagle is an all-weather, extremely maneuverable, tactical fighter aircraft designed to outperform and outfight enemy aircraft obtaining air supremacy for the US Air Force. It replaced the F-4 Phantom II in the US Air Force inventory. During the Balkan conflict the F-15s downed four Serbian MiG-29 Fulcrum and 33 out of the 35 fixed-wing aircraft downed during the Gulf War. The success key of the F-15 Eagle is combination of maneuverability, weaponry, advanced avionics and a pulse-Doppler radar system. The pulse-Doppler radar permits to engage multiple low and high flying targets at long range. The F-15's internal countermeasures system provides both threat warning and automatic delivery of countermeasures against selected threats. The F-15A/B aircraft entered service with the US Air Force in 1975. McDonnell Douglas, now Boeing, has produced more than 2,000 aircraft to date for the US Air Force and several customers worldwide.
The F-15 Eagle air defense fighter aircraft is armed with an internal 20mm Gatling gun, four medium range AIM-7 Sparrow or AIM-120A/B/C AMRAAM missiles and up to four short range AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. The key sensor provided to the Eagle is the APG-63 pulse Doppler radar which allows to engage the most elusive airborne targets flying at low altitudes. The A, B, C and D models of this aircraft were designed to fly exclusively air defense missions with none or near irrelevant attack capabilities.
The F-15EX Super Eagle is a two-seat version of the F-15X aircraft. The twin-seat aircraft may be optimized for strike missions potentially being a replacement for the F-15E Strike Eagle. The fiscal year 2020 budget proposal for the US Air Force includes provision for eight F-15EX jets worth $1.1 billion. Both F-15X variants will be powered by either existing F110-GE-129 or F100-PW-229 engines both rated at 29,000 pounds of thrust. The US Air Force plans to buy eight F-15EX jets in 2020 and 72 through 2024 with a final order for 64 additional aircraft to be placed after 2024 for a total fleet of 144 jets.

How long do I cook a rare steak?
Cook a 2 cm thick steak for 2-3 minutes on each side in rare cases, 4 minutes on each side in medium and 5-6 minutes on each side for well done. Turn the steak only once, otherwise it dries out. Always use seaweed to hold the steak as they will not pierce the meat so that the juice can come out.
How long do you cook T-bone steaks for rare?
For the perfect medium t-bone steak, bake 10-13 minutes for a 1-inch steak and 14-17 minutes for a 1-inch steak, turning approx. 1 minute before halfway. A meat thermometer should read 130 ° F. Rest your steaks for 5 minutes before serving, lightly covered with foil.
At what temperature do you cook a steak on a gas grill?
The best temperature for steaks is 450 ° F to 500 ° F. 4. Place the steaks on the grill, close the lid and set the timer for 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak. (See our Network Guide for more accurate schedules.)
How do you know when a steak is discreet?
How to control your steak temperature without a raw thermometer. Feel the palm just below the thumb. Raw. Now take your thumb to the index finger and touch the same part of the palm again. Underdone. Touch your thumb with your middle finger. Medium. Move your thumb to the ring. Good work. Now press the little finger with your thumb.
What is the best way to make a rare steak?
Put steaks on the grill and cook them until golden and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks and continue grilling for 3 to 5 minutes for rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5-7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium well (150 degrees F))
How do I cook a T-bone steak on an undercooked gas grill?

Lavender and Mint Harvests
Fresh summer fragrances from flowers and herbs delight the senses — one of the best things about having these plantings in the garden. (But be careful! Mint will overtake your garden quickly!) Right now we're pretty excited to see our garden awash with purple and green.
How-To Dry Lavender
Take a piece of summer with you to enjoy year round by drying lavender blooms from your garden!
- Harvest lavender just before it’s fully bloomed by cutting at the base of the stem, just above the leaves.
- Gather the flowers into a bunch, tapping them on the bottom of the stems against a countertop so that they line up neatly.
- Tie stems tightly with twine or a rubber band.
- Find a dark place to dry the bunch slowly to best preserve its color and hand the bunch upside down by looping the string over a nail or hook.
- Ensure the bunch is fully dry (about 2 - 4 weeks). When you brush your finger along the flowers they should easily fall off. Collect them to use in sachets or for baking.

Euro NCAP releases its Year in Numbers for 2022: China and electric vehicles predominate
Today, Euro NCAP releases its annual Year in Numbers where we consider the highs and lows as well some of the emerging trends that have appeared throughout one year of results. 2022 will be remembered as a record year. Never before did Euro NCAP conduct as many safety tests or have so many newcomers in the programme. The addition of Austria and Norway as new members also increased Euro NCAP’s geographic coverage.
During 2022, overall, Euro NCAP published a total of 73 safety ratings, of which 67 were for brand-new car models, including 65 models with the lowest safety specification and two ratings for models with optional equipment – and six for variants of previously tested models.
2022 has been an exceptionally challenging year for the automotive industry. Not only has the sector had to deal with new safety, emission, and cybersecurity regulations, but it has also had to contend with the economic repercussions of the invasion of Ukraine, Brexit, and the challenges related to shortages of semiconductor chips, materials, and labour. Out of respect for these challenges and to ease the burden on industry, Euro NCAP delayed the introduction of its new protocols until the beginning of 2023.
Taking advantage of the additional year, the latest models scored very well against the criteria. 15 out of 65 cars received four stars (22%), while 50 cars received five stars (78%) overall. In contrast to 2021, no vehicles received three stars or less.
Amongst the emerging trends are the following:
- As in 2021, the EV market continues to expand quickly. In 2022, full electric vehicles made up 22 out of 65 new models, a percentage of 34% and five out of six Euro NCAP’s Best in Class winners were electric. Many new players have entered the European market, largely thanks to the increasing popularity of EVs
- Seven brands made their Euro NCAP debut in 2022, six of which originate from China
- Centre airbags to reduce injuries in far-side crashes are one of the new safety elements that have recently been recognised. Of the 65 new cars examined, 47 (72%) came with standard front-seat centre airbags
- Attention assist systems are increasingly common in cars. In 2022, most vehicles evaluated by Euro NCAP, 94%, already included a system for detecting driver drowsiness. In 53 out of 61 cases this is delivered by monitoring of steering-wheel input and/or lane position, while in 9 cars direct driver eye tracking or a combination is used.For Euro NCAP, 2022 also marked 25 years of making cars safer. Looking back on the progress we have made with our sponsors, test labs and partners, and how different safety looks for consumers today when we test cars – we are so proud of what we have accomplished. In 2023, we have huge developments ahead including a real step forward on the road to Vision Zero with new protocols in car testing that will consider the wider implications on vulnerable road users, but also consideration of a new target group that will be announced later in the year.
For media information, please contact Cordelia Wilson at email@example.com.
About Euro NCAP
Euro NCAP organizes crash & safety tests on new vehicles and provides motoring consumers with a realistic and independent assessment of the safety performance of some of the most popular cars sold in Europe. Established in 1997 and backed by several European Governments, motoring, consumer and insurance organizations, Euro NCAP has rapidly become a catalyst for encouraging significant safety improvements to new car design.
Euro NCAP ratings strictly apply to vehicles of the specifications offered in Europe. The ratings do not necessarily apply to models offered in other regions, even when sold under an identical name, as production specification and equipment may vary.

The Affordable Care Act, better known as “Obamacare,” is in the headlines again, this time in relation to to a report by the Congressional Budget Office. The CBO recently came out with a new economic outlook which had a few things to say on the infamous new health care law. As might be expected, people on both sides of the political aisle have scrambled to make sense of the new report.
The report first states that participation in the overall workforce has fallen from about 66 percent to 62.9 percent since 2007. There are many possible factors in this decline. The Congressional Budget Office suggests that the dip has to do with an aging population, as well as overall economic problems. It goes on to mention that less opportunities have caused some people to leave the work force altogether.
The parts of the report that has caused some controversy are the Congressional Budget Office’s statements on the new health care law. The CBO estimates that the amount of people participating in the labor force will go down slightly more by 2017. Part of projected dip is attributed to the ACA.
The reasoning for the CBO’s analysis is essentially that insurance subsidies will reduce the overall incentive to work for some people. According to the CBO, roughly 5 million people will receive subsidies in 2014. The CBO estimates that about 19 million will get subsidies in 2016, though that depends on the number of people signing up on the health care exchanges.
The CBO also talked about the employer penalty that some businesses might face. In 2015, Most businesses with 50 or more full-employees will have to pay a penalty if they do not offer insurance for their workers. It has been suggested that this factor could likely reduce demand for employment. However, the Congressional Budget Office suggested that it could also hurt the supply of labor for reasons such as potentially reduced wages. To be fair, people who drop out of the work force could possibly then be replaced by others who are looking for work.
The CBO says that the number of full-time employees might decrease by about 2.5 million by 2024. The CBO emphasized that this number is mostly due to a projected decline in the supply of labor. In other words, people might be willing to work less.
People on both the Left and the Right have chimed in on the Congressional Budget Office report. Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, said that there is not evidence that the ACA would cause a loss of jobs. Meanwhile, Republicans note that people working fewer hours or dropping out of the work force is unlikely to be a good thing.
It seems that, as with so many other issues, the interpretations of the CBO’s out outlook vary considerably. It should be pointed out that most of CBO’s projections are based on an anticipated choice by workers to work less hours or even not work at all. Therefore, as others have pointed out, for someone to equate this with a lack of available jobs is somewhat misleading.
Unfortunately, providing incentive to work less hours and take government subsidies is not exactly a great recipe for moving the country forward. As with many government programs, it transfers wealth and has the potential to create dependency.
Although the Congressional Budget Office’s statements on the ACA have created a bit of controversy, it is probably hard to say what the ultimate outcome will be until a few years have passed. Until then, politicians will probably be spinning the information to best suit their needs.

 A collection of six booklets, responding to Sketchbook by Emilie Ding, as a result of an assignment to redesign one of The Most Beautiful Swiss Books from 2017, given by Julia Born during the Rietveld Zürich 6-weeks residency. In her book, Emilie Ding takes images of modernist architecture and uses them to create her own visual narrative through composition. This series of booklets documents and treats printed matter in a similar way as she treats architecture in her book; by capturing details, recontextualising, zooming in, cropping and moving the content around to create a new narrative. Each booklet consists of either text or image excerpts from different sources found in the city: the Tages-Anzeiger—a Zürich newspaper—from Tuesday 25.09.18.; a BMW-manual from 2005; and the Oasis fan-magazine uncut presents: Oasis from 2002. → In collaboration with Klara Graah

This page references an aspect of RuneScape from 2007, also known as "Old School RuneScape." This content may have changed since then.
If you are looking for the modern RuneScape guide for this content, please see our Dream Mentor guide.
Quest Release Date: 15 May 2007
RuneScape is not the safest place to live - dragons, trolls, demons... dangerous and despicable monsters of all sorts roam free.
In this quest, you must help a fellow adventurer that doesn't do so well against these threats. With perseverence and the magical help of the Moon Clan, there should be no monster that can't be beaten.
But is that really true? How about the monsters in your dreams? How about your own inescapable fears? How would you defeat them?
Well, you'll soon find out as a tough and often bizarre quest awaits those of a strong will!
Talk to the Fallen Man through the small cave inside the Lunar Isle Mines.
- Skills: Ability to defeat level 343, 223, 274 and 108 enemies in a row without Prayer, 85 Combat
- Quests: Eadgar's Ruse, Lunar Diplomacy
- Items: 1x Astral Rune, 1x Goutweed, 1x Hammer, 1x Pestle and Mortar, 20x Pieces of Food (3 types, no more than 7 or each), 1x Tinderbox
- Skills: None.
- Quests: None.
- Items: Armour, Food, 1x Restore Potion, Weapon
- Difficulty: Master
- Length: Short
Head to Lunar Isle, and enter the dungeon in the north of the island. Once in the dungeon, head south, and to the east of you will be a cave entrance that you can crawl through.
You will view a cut-scene, and the fact that he is not well will become clear. He has torn clothes, cuts and bruises. He certainly has a pulse, and is breathing weakly, however a closer inspection is required. At the end of the cut-scene a screen will come up showing the stats of the man. To view this screen at any other time, choose to 'Inspect' him.
First of all you need to feed him a variety of food. To do this get at least 3 different foods, and feed him 4 pieces by using them with him. The most efficient way of doing this is getting 3 different foods and feeding Food 1 then Food 2 then Food 3, then repeating the loop again. Whether it is a Monkfish or a Salmon, each one will increase his Health by 5%. After 4 pieces of food have been fed to him, so he has 20% Health, he will open his eyes and you can start to talk to him.
Since he is clearly feeling bad in the condition he is in, you will need to tell him positive things such as "Just don't worry". Once you have talked to him positively 4 times he will have 32% Spirit - 8% per time. Now that his spirit is better, an appetite has returned, and you will need to feed another 4 pieces of food so that his Health rises to 40%. At this point a cut-scene will appear, but he will still be in pain.
Feed him 6 more pieces of food, making his Health 70%, and positively talk to him 5 more times, making his Spirit 72%. This will make him feel good enough to talk to you, and will tell you to go to the Bank to get some Armour for him. From now on you will also be able to talk to him via the NPC Contact Lunar Spell. Head to the Lunar Isle Bank and talk to 'Bird's-Eye' Jack, seen in the past as the navigator on the ship during Lunar Diplomacy.
After arguing about why the boat went round in circles on the first attempt to get the Lunar Isle, you will be allowed to see Cyrisus's Bank, and given a Chest to store the Armour in.
- Dragon Med Helm
- Ahrim's Skirt
- Ahrim's Top
- Abyssal Whip
- Ranger Boots
Now that his Armament is at 100%, it's just Health and Spirit that are low. Feed him 6 more pieces of food, and speak positively to him 4 more times to get both of these up to 100%. Another cut-scene will play.
Although he may be dressed like that, it doesn't mean that he's ready to fight. He's traveled from the frozen wastes in the Wilderness to the pyramids of the Kharidian Desert. He's lived with the monkeys on Ape Atoll and dined with the TzHaar under the volcano of Karamja but...he's afraid of combat! He will tell you to go to the Oneiromancer, and he will meet you there.
Head to the Oneiromancer, found in the southern part of Lunar Isle near to the Astral Altar and talk to her, choosing to talk about 'Cyrisus'. Part way through the conversation he will appear next to you. It is clear that he needs to try and conquer his fear of combat, and to do this you will need to enter Dreamland with him, and to enter Dreamland you will need a Dream Potion.
To make this you will need a Dream Vial, Goutweed and Ground Astral Rune. The Oneiromancer will give you a Dream Vial, but then you'll have to find the other ingredients.
You will need to get the Goutweed in the same way as during the Eadgar's Ruse Quest. Enter the Troll Stronghold, and head south. Go down some stairs, and head north-east so that you can head down some more stairs so that you are in a passageway that heads north. Go along this passage, and through the gates, waiting before you enter the room with the Guards.
To get across the room to the Goutweed in 2 steps, wait until the two guards nearest to you are in a similar way to the picture above, then run to the red square on the map below.
The Goutweed is found in a crate where the Blue square is on the map, so wait until the guard between the safespot and the crate is facing the wrong way, and run to the crate, taking a Goutweed in the process.
Use this with the Dream Vial (water), then add the Ground Astral Rune to get a Dream Potion.
Now that you have the Potion, you need to get ready for battle! You will be fighting level 343, 223, 274 and 108 monsters one after the other without the ability to use Prayer, so make sure you equip good equipment, and have food ready for a difficult battle. Armour such as Rune with stat-boosting Gloves, Cape and Boots along with a Dragon weapon or Whip should be enough if you have food worthy of a proper meal.
Another way that would work well, if you have a high enough level, is Ranging the monsters with a high level bow such as a Crystal Bow - along with Black Dragonhide Armour. The problem here is that if you lose the Crystal Bow, it either costs a large amount to get back or is hard to find a seller to get a new one.
The Tinderbox and Seal of Passage could be banked if you wish to do so to get extra inventory space. The Potion is also given to Cyrisus, so that space could be used for food too.
Rings of Recoil are helpful since they will hit damage on the enemy when they damage you.
Monkfish, Sharks or Tuna Potatoes are recommended since they heal high amounts of health in a single bite with no side-effects, and are relatively easy to obtain.
The level 223 and 274 monsters will only use Melee, and are weak to Magic attacks. This means that as long as you keep out of the way of it by running away when it comes near, Magic is an effective way to kill them without using more than a couple of pieces of food. Remember to take off metal amour though since it lowers your chance of hitting, and as long as you keep running, you won't be within Melee distance of the monsters.
Another food item that may help if you need slightly more food than you could otherwise carry is the Saradomin Brew. They heal large amounts with each dose drunk, along with raising your Defense although do lower your Attack, Strength, Magic and Range. If you just have a few of these to drink during the battle to supplement ordinary food there shouldn't be huge problems with the stat lowering too much although taking Super Attack and Strength (if Meleeing)/Range (if Ranging) Potions into the battle with you would be highly recommended.
Once you're ready with equipment to fight with, you're ready to attempt the battle. Before entering, topping up your stats by drinking a Super Set/dose of Range Potion will help you with boosted stats, yet it will be possible to Bank them, leaving you with plenty of room for food.
With Food, Weapons, Armour, a Tinderbox and the Dream Potion, head to the Brazier located in the large building to the west of the Lunar Isle Bank. Light the Brazier with the Tinderbox - this can now be banked for another piece of food if you wish to do so, and talk to Cyrisus. You will give him the Dream Potion, and be given a last chance before entering the battle to change equipment. This may be when you choose to drink Potions before entering the battle, and get another piece of food to go in the space the Potion was in.
To leave the battle part way through you will not be able to teleport since it is within a dream. Instead you'll have to choose to leave with the option on the lectern found near the edge of the arena. If you do have to do this during the first or second fight, don't leave it until you only have one piece of food, or less, left since you may suddenly get hit hard by a couple of Range attacks while running without noticing, and not make it. Having fairly high Hitpoints (40+) when making a run for the Lectern is also a good idea.
It will use a combination of Melee and Range along with summoning level 78 monsters. Due to these lower level monsters you should turn 'Auto-Retaliate' off so you don't attack them after eating, and can focus on the level 343. This first creature is the most deadly, so don't be surprised if you have to leave and try again once or twice - there will be no need to make a new Dream Potion upon your return so you will just need to re-stock on food and try again.
Once the first creature has been killed, another monster will come, this time level 223.
It is a much easier fight with only the one, lower level, monster to kill. Once it is dead, a level 274 will appear that you must kill! It's slightly more deadly than the level 223, but as long as you have a few pieces of food shouldn't be a huge worry.
Just one more monster after the level 274, this time it's level 108.
It will keep appearing, then disappearing again by crawling into a hole it makes, then popping up nearby. While it is visible, it is an Agile monster, so you will have to choose to attack for each and every hit until it is just about dead. At this point Cyrisus will have enough courage to be able to step into battle and kill it himself.
With a mighty stamp on the monster, he manages to kill it, and get rid of his fear of combat!

Dear Commissioner of Education,
I am writing to express my concerns about the current state of education in our state. As a concerned citizen, I am deeply worried about the challenges facing our educational system, which are having a negative impact on the quality of education that our children receive.
One of the major challenges facing education in our state is inadequate funding. Our schools lack the resources necessary to provide quality education to our children. This has resulted in a shortage of teaching staff, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of access to learning materials, such as textbooks and educational technology.
Another challenge is the lack of teacher training and development. Many teachers lack the necessary skills and training to effectively teach and engage students. This is a major impediment to the delivery of quality education in our state.
In addition, there is a lack of parental involvement in the education of their children. Many parents do not take an active interest in their children’s education, which can lead to poor academic performance.
Furthermore, there is a need for more collaboration and partnership between the government, the private sector, and other stakeholders in the education sector. This is necessary to improve the quality of education and ensure that all children have access to quality education, regardless of their socio-economic status.
In light of these challenges, I urge you to take action to address them. We need policies and programs that prioritize education and ensure that our children have access to a quality education. This includes increasing funding for education, providing training and development for teachers, encouraging parental involvement, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders.
In conclusion, I believe that education is a critical aspect of our society, and we must take urgent action to address the challenges facing the education sector in our state. I trust that you will take the necessary steps to improve the quality of education in our state.
Thank you for your attention.
Lack of education

The good news is that there are Walmart stores on each of the four major islands of Hawaii with six on the island of Oahu; two on Hawaii Island, the Big Island; and one each on Kauai and Maui.
Like it or not, we have become a Walmart society. Walmart is the largest retail company in the world.
Walmart was founded in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas by Sam Walton. According to their 2017 corporate factsheet, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. has over 11,500 retail units in 28 countries, including over 4,655 retail facilities (Walmart stores and Sam'€™s Club warehouses) employing over 1.5 million associates in the United States.
Walmart is without question one of the great U.S. retailing success stories.
The Honolulu Walmart is located just off of Kapiolani Boulevard, within 2 miles and 10 minutes of Waikiki where the majority of island visitors stay.
For visitors staying in the Ko Olina Resort area, however, the Kapolei Walmart store is the closest, less than 6 miles and 13 minutes away, just south of the HI 93 East (Queen Liliuokalani Highway) heading back towards the airport. Take Kama'aha Ave and Kealanani Ave to Farrington Hwy.
The two other Walmart locations listed below are located near populated residential areas in central Oahu which are generally not convenient for island visitors.
Here are the addresses of the six Walmart locations on Oahu:

For visitors to Hawaii who are staying in condominium hotels and resorts or rental properties, shopping at Walmart is one of the best places to save considerable dollars over the amounts charged for grocery staples in the local supermarkets.
All of the Hawaii Walmart stores carry a complete line of the basic food items that you will need to stock your kitchen for your vacation in Hawaii. You'll find most of the items you're used to finding at home as well as a lot of local favorites that are worth trying.
You'll also be able to find an excellent selection of macadamia nut products, Hawaiian-made cookies, and candy, Hawaiian coffee, wine, and liquor.
The Hawaii Walmart stores also are great places to shop for Hawaii souvenirs such as books, calendars, mugs, t-shirts, and hundreds of other items. Each store has a separate Hawaiiana section dedicated to these types of items. Be sure to check their bedding section for such items as Hawaiian themed sheets and quilt bedspreads.
So, next time you're in Hawaii, stop by one of the local Walmart stores. You'll be surprised by a lot of what you'll find.

Get your home ready for cold weather now. Preventative maintenance is easier and cheaper than repairs or replacements. Below are simple fall home maintenance tasks that make a huge difference.1) Clean out gutters- Water can’t pass through if gutters are clogged with leaves. In the winter, water can freeze worsening the problem.
2) Replace or repair leaking pipes- During winter, leaked water can freeze which makes repairs more difficult. Get a plumber to fix leaks when problems are more manageable and less likely to cause more damage.
3) Seal leaks in windows and doors- Leaks allow cold air in and hot air to seep out. This will cause your heating system to not work as effectively as it should. Use weather strippng and caulk to seal leaks.
4) Paint over wooden surfaces- Moisture can damage wooden surfaces and facilitate the growth of mold. Water runs off of painted wood but not off of peeling paint.
5) Schedule a heat pump or furnace check up- Your heating system needs to be checked each fall to ensure that it is operating safely and running at peak efficiency. This will prevent a breakdown in the midst of use during cold weather. Call MTB Heating and Airtoday to schedule a tune up on your system.

Willamette’s Water Resources: 70 Years of Urbanization
Oregon State recently released a study examining the impact of urbanization on water use in the Willamette Valley. Interestingly enough, the study – which was conducted by economists seeking to evaluate changes in land and water use over the next 70 years – found that population growth in Oregon has less of an effect on water use than you might think.
The study focused on the cities of Woodburn, Salem-Keizer, and Eugene-Springfield due in part to their surrounding farmlands. Woodburn and Salem-Keizer utilize irrigation, and a combination of irrigation and rain, while Eugene-Springfield relies much less on irrigation.
As the Willamette’s population continues to increase, more and more rural land will succumb to housing. However, the study concluded that population growth or not, water consumption will be affected little if at all.
As stated in the study, “Despite population growth of approximately 85 percent and a doubling of income, water withdrawals in two urban areas increase by at most 12 percent and in another area, decrease slightly.”
How is this possible? As it turns out, the water laws followed by many western states basically allow for farmers to utilize water for irrigation so long as they are actually farming. Makes sense, but when said farm is sold and becomes a neighborhood, the new owners must acquire new water rights. These new rights allow for much less water consumption.
In short, farms use a lot more water than the equally sized neighborhoods replacing them, so that’s good. However, farms make food while neighborhoods consume food, so, losing them is kinda bad. Only time will tell how we balance these land uses, but studies like this will help us make the best decisions possible.
How Does Urbanization Affect Water Withdrawals? Insights from an Econometric-Based Landscape Simulation was published in the journal Land Economics in August.

Weekly commentary on international finance and economics including global events and how world issues affect our domestic issues.
Brexit End Game in Sight
Share this story:
Can the end to Brexit actually be in sight, after all of the struggles and negotiations? Technically the end game to Brexit is still unknown, but the current situation is beginning to resemble a game of chess, where we can see the direction the game is taking, but can't quite predict yet who will win.
Prime Minister Theresa May has set three votes in Parliament for three successive days next month. On March 12, Parliament votes on May's withdrawal agreement — which is essentially the one that previously got rejected by record numbers. On March 13, a vote is scheduled to decide whether or not to move ahead on a Brexit with no deal. On March 14, a vote is scheduled to decide whether or not to extend the exit date from its currently scheduled date of March 29.
If we get to that last vote, the European Union has indicated that it will allow for a short extension, but such an extension is not expected to last beyond June. This is due to the scheduled European parliamentary elections. If the UK really is going to leave the EU, EU leaders do not want the UK voting in those parliamentary contests.

This Pew Research Center report looks at how Americans view a range of science-related issues. It finds that compared to attitudes around food safety and and biomedical topics, views on climate change and energy are closely linked to political beliefs.
WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK
Knowing how different American demographics view climate change and energy policy gives insight into who we need to talk to and what message to give in order to reach more people persuasively and effect change. When it comes to belief in climate change, politics emerge as the most divisive factor. However, belief in climate change is not the only factor that drives support for climate action.
The general landscape. 50% of American adults believe global warming is human caused, while the other two quarters are split between belief in natural causes and “no solid evidence” for warming. Amongst the “no solid evidence” group, only half outright deny that global warming is happening while the other half say that we “don’t know enough to say” or are unsure. So, even amongst those who are not convinced, there is some subtlety in response.
Just because people believe doesn’t mean they are concerned. Three quarters of Americans say global warming is happening, but only 46% view global warming as a serious threat.
Even if you don’t believe humans are the cause, you might support climate action. Everyone doesn’t have to be on the same page to support cutting emissions. 50% of Americans believe global warming is due to human activity, yet 64% of Americans support regulating power plant emissions and 60% support prioritizing renewable energy over fossil fuels.
Still a nation divided. Not surprisingly, political affiliation is the category where the differences in views on climate and energy are starkest. As the scale goes from liberal democrat to conservative republican, there are increasing shares of people who either say that global warming is not due to humans or outright deny it. A majority of liberals (76%) and a smaller majority of moderates (56%) believe that global warming is human-caused. Conservatives are split with 29% believing that global warming is human-caused, 30% believing that global warming is caused by natural patterns, and a whopping 39% in denial. Still, amongst all but the most conservative republicans, there is a majority view that global warming is happening.
The generation gap. Age is an important predictor of climate change beliefs and values. The younger an American adult is, the more likely they are: to say that humans are responsible for global warming, to favor regulating power plant emissions, to support renewable energy development, and to oppose offshore oil development.
Other demographics. Women, Hispanic Americans, and those with college degrees are all more likely to believe that global warming is happening.
It’s not about faith. Church attendance and religious affiliation don’t seem to account for differences in views on global warming.
Belief in scientific consensus. People who believe there is a scientific consensus on global warming are 17% more likely to believe global warming is real and 35% more likely to attribute it to human causes. Conservatives and older people are less likely to believe in the scientific consensus.

Avoid contact with eyes. Application of Tresaderm should be limited to a period not longer than one week. Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, even if a drug interaction may occur. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together. Allergic reactions to medications may occur. Be sure to inform VetSource and your veterinarian if your pet has any known drug sensitivities or allergies. If your pet displays symptoms of an allergic reaction, call your veterinarian immediately or go to a veterinary emergency clinic. Symptoms may include but are not limited to: swollen lips, tongue, face, airways; difficulty breathing; agitation; profuse salivation; vomiting; widespread hives and itching.
On rare occasions dogs may be sensitive to neomycin. In these animals, application of the drug will result in erythema of the treated area, which may last 24 to 48 hours. Also, evidence of transient discomfort has been noted in some dogs when the drug was applied to fissured or denuded areas. The expression of pain may last 2 to 5 minutes. While systemic side effects are not likely with topically applied corticosteroids, such a possibility should be considered if use of the solution is extensive and prolonged. If signs of salt and water retention or potassium excretion are noticed (increased thirst, weakness, lethargy, oliguria, gastrointestinal disturbances or tachycardia), treatment should be discontinued and appropriate measures taken to correct the electrolyte and fluid imbalance. This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. If any of these side effects are observed contact your veterinarian.
Tresaderm should be administered as directed by your veterinarian. Prior to the administration of Tresaderm, remove the ceruminous, purulent or foreign materials from the ear canal, as well as the crust which may be associated with dermatoses affecting other parts of the body. The design of the container nozzle safely allows partial insertion into the ear canal for ease of administration. The amount to apply and the frequency of treatment are dependent upon the severity and extent of the lesions.

Four firefighters were injured battling a raging four-alarm blaze in Washington Heights Monday morning, officials said.
The flames started in a bodega on the first floor of the St. Nicholas Avenue building at around 10:30 a.m., spreading quickly to apartments and other floors, an FDNY spokesman said.
“As the smoke started rising in the apartment, people were yelling, ‘Fire, fire, fire!’ ” said Dimitry Valles, 19, whose fourth-floor flat was damaged by smoke.
One firefighter suffered serious injuries and was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital while three others were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation.
“[There were] very, very heavy fire conditions upon arrival,” said Deputy Chief Joseph Saccente.
Two civilians also were treated at the scene for minor injuries, officials said.
