In short: Nice course In full: Ok course which is in need of some fine tuning, the start line needs to be more clearer and the finish less congested.That aside its a great course once clear of the start. mars bar and a medal at the end plus a PB to cap it all. great day, will be back next year for a better time again!!! Date of review: May 16, 2008
In short: Good Race for a PB. Less than 700 runners therefore nice and relaxed In full: Good race for a PB. Mostly flat with one hilly bit. One water stop at 5k. Good atmosphere mixed with local May Day festivities. Scenery was a bit boring. Good for first timer racer. Parking was easy and close to the start. Date of review: May 7, 2008
In short: A poor example for the kids In full: In the 3k Race, no signage, no results, no-one at the finish, had to walk down a boggy lane to get to the start and finish etc.
When we did ask at the (10k) registration about on the day entries (the only type allowed for the 3k), we were very curtly told "outside somewhere". The few marshalls that they did have in the race were abrupt and in the wrong place. There was actually no-one at the finish at all and the winner did not even know where he was supposed to stop! No times/positions were taken and when we enquired about this the advertised "3k Race" had suddently turned into a "Fun Run". This is organised by a fantastic club and the adults' 10k race was up to the usual high standard but sadly the 3k race was very disappointing and unlikely to inspire future generations of runners.
In short: A good way to spend May day In full: A lovely village race. For the most part the organisation went well, but the finish was poor. I had to finish a long way short of the line since there were so many people waiting to be processed through the finish. I then watched as a good 20-30 people who clearly finished after me were ushered through before my line was! This aside, a lovely morning and I'll certainly be returning next year. Date of review: May 6, 2008
In short: Got a P.B :) In full: Really enjoyed the race and got a PB,mainly because i went off quickly and was hanging on from 7k.Only thing i would say is maybe 1 or 2 more water stations,especially when its warm Date of review: May 6, 2008
In short: Good Course, slight problems with the start - I didn't know where it was. last 2km on the path next to a road was a little hard to pass other runners. finish in park was a good touch. parking was my biggest issue... Date of review: May 5, 2008
In short: Good well organised race In full: One of my favourite 10k races. Well organised and marshalled except for the car parking before the race. Otherwise well done RRR and all the marshalls Date of review: May 5, 2008

That Lot - Social Content Agency studio lighting project
Project completion date
The client needed a very flexible studio space built within the iconic building 2 Waterhouse square, Holborn, so that they could create content onsite.
The studio needed to deliver an easy to use high quality green screen space with the ability to quickly convert the space into any number of “looks” and setups.
The studio needed to have an element of plug and play built so that quick turnarounds could be achieved without compromising quality.
One of the main challenges was the unusual space – Waterhouse square is a beautiful building full of London creative agencies and associated businesses. However, it is not the typical type of building in which a studio of this ambition is usually situated.
The other main challenge was to provide the client with a unique studio system that spoke to their unique position in a new market as well as the aspirational energy they bring to their projects.
As we were limited by both the size and shape of the studio space we decided that a typical green screen studio set up would be a challenge for the team running it on a daily basis. Also it would be a limited system. With this is mind the Cirro Lite design team proposed a new concept using a “LEDCloud” LED back lit wall. This system had several benefits, the first being the efficiency it terms of space as it is only 150mm deep, it also gave us a platform to provide them with a multi programmable coloured background. This would allow them to flip from a perfect green screen to white or any number of stylish colours subtle or loud.
Over the to we provided another LEDCloud as a reflective source to light product demonstrations in a glossy way. Situated around this was a 360 degree lighting track enabling them to easily arrange and rearrange the keys and subject lighting quickly and easily. For the main keys and fills we used both Kino Flos and Dedolights well known for their high quality colour rendering (important for products and well as skin tones) and optical control.
The end results as you can see from the images are both inspiring and unique.

Ex-militia attack military, police in Republic of Congo
BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo — Former militiamen attacked a military position and burned police stations in the Republic of Congo's capital early Monday, the government said.
Police forces exchanged fire with the attackers, and were restoring order, the government said in a statement as heavy gunfire subsided.
Former members of the militia, known by the name the Ninjas Nsiloulou, attacked a military position in the Mayanga neighborhood of Brazzaville, the government said. Police stations in Djoue, Makelekele, Lemina and Kinsoundi neighborhoods, along with the mayor's office in Makelekele were set on fire, it said.
Residents were forced from their homes, the government said. The fighting seemed to be contained to only certain areas of the capital, though residents spilled into other parts. The government urged everyone to remain peaceful and calm. The statement did not give further details.
Monday's fighting comes weeks after the re-election of longtime President Denis Sassou N'Guesso, who has ruled for more than 30 years. The March 20 vote that saw him back in office came five months after a constitutional referendum removed term and age limits that would have barred the 72-year-old from running.
The Ninjas were one of the main anti-government forces in the 1998-99 civil war. Led by renegade pastor Frederic Bitsangou, they signed 1999 cease-fire agreements, but took up arms again in the early 2000s to demand a role in military and political decisions. A peace deal was signed in 2003 between the militia and government.
The militia under Bitsangou was eventually disbanded and he was later brought into the government as a Cabinet minister.
Anti-government protesters clashed with security forces in the run-up to the October referendum, though the later election period was calm.
The government said it was investigating if the violence was election-related, and condemned any candidates who may have called for unrest.

|Oracle8i JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference
Release 3 (8.1.7)
Part Number A83724-01
Support for standard JDBC 2.0 features differs depending on whether you are using JDK 1.2.x or JDK 1.1.x. There are three areas to consider:
java.sqlpackage under JDK 1.2.x and through the Oracle extension
oracle.jdbc2package under JDK 1.1.x
PreparedStatementunder JDK 1.2.x, but requires Oracle-specific functionality under JDK 1.1.x
This section also discusses performance enhancements available under JDBC 2.0--update batching and fetch size--that are also still available as Oracle extensions, then concludes with a brief discussion about migration from JDK 1.1.x to JDK 1.2.x.
Oracle JDBC release 8.1.6 and higher fully supports JDK 1.2.x, which includes standard JDBC 2.0 functionality through implementation of interfaces in the standard
java.sql package. These interfaces are implemented as appropriate by classes in the
For JDBC 2.0 functionality under JDK 1.2.x, where you are using
classes12.zip, no special imports are required. The following imports, both of which you will likely need even if you are not using JDBC 2.0 features, will suffice:
JDBC 2.0 features are not supported by JDK 1.1.x; however, Oracle provides extensions that allow you to use a significant subset of JDBC 2.0 datatypes under JDK 1.1.x, where you are using
classes111.zip. These extensions support database objects, object references, arrays, and LOBs.
oracle.jdbc2 is included in
classes111.zip. This package provides interfaces that mimic JDBC 2.0-related interfaces that became standard with JDK 1.2.x for SQL3 and advanced datatypes. The interfaces in
oracle.jdbc2 are implemented as appropriate by classes in the
oracle.sql package for a JDK 1.1.x environment.
The following imports are required for JDBC 2.0 datatypes under JDK 1.1.x:
In a JDK 1.2.x environment (using the JDBC classes in
classes12.zip), JDBC 2.0 features such as scrollable result sets, updatable result sets, and update batching are supported through methods specified by standard JDBC 2.0 interfaces. Therefore, under JDK 1.2.x, you can use standard objects such as
ResultSet to use these features.
With release 8.1.6 and higher in a JDK 1.1.x environment (using the JDBC classes in
classes111.zip), Oracle JDBC provides support for these JDBC 2.0 features as Oracle extensions. To use this functionality, you must cast your objects to the Oracle types:
For example, to use JDBC 2.0 result set enhancements, you must do the following:
OracleConnectionwhenever the connection object will be required to produce a statement object that will in turn produce a scrollable or updatable result set.
In addition, you might have to cast statement objects to
OracleCallableStatement, and cast database meta data objects to
OracleDatabaseMetaData. This would be if you want to use JDBC 2.0 statement or database meta data methods described under "Summary of New Methods for Result Set Enhancements".
With release 8.1.6 and higher, features of the JDBC 2.0 Optional Package (also known as the Standard Extension API), including data sources, connection pooling, and distributed transactions, are supported equally in a JDK 1.2.x or 1.1.x environment.
javax.sql package and classes that implement its interfaces are included in the JDBC classes ZIP file for either environment.
There are two performance enhancements available under JDBC 2.0, which had previously been available as Oracle extensions:
In each case, with release 8.1.6 and higher you have the option of using the standard model or the Oracle model. Do not, however, try to mix usage of the standard model and Oracle model within a single application for either of these features.
For more information, see the following sections:
The only migration requirements in going from JDK 1.1.x to JDK 1.2.x are as follows:
oracle.jdbc2package, as discussed above under "Datatype Support".
oracle.jdbc2.*interfaces with references to the standard
java.util.Dictionaryclass under JDK 1.1.x, must implement the
java.util.Mapinterface under JDK 1.2.x. Note, however, that the class
java.util.Hashtablesatisfies either requirement. If you used
Hashtableobjects for your type maps under JDK 1.1.x, then no change is necessary. For more information, see "Creating a Type Map Object and Defining Mappings for a SQLData Implementation".
If these points do not apply to your code, then you do not need to make any code changes or recompile to run under JDK 1.2.x.

Kitchen countertops, no matter how durable, do have a life span. If you’ve been using your glossy counter top for years, it will probably have scratches, cracks, and even dimples. One way of restoring your kitchen countertop to pristine condition is to have it painted over.
Painting kitchen countertops is not always a simple task. Countertops are usually glossy because of laminate. Sometimes, the challenge is parting with the nice design that a granite or marble surface has. However, if you want to make your kitchen looking clean and new, a repainting should be in order.
What you need:
- Oil based primer
- Oil based paint
- Polyurethane sealant
- Epoxy glue
- Paint brushes and sponges
- Masking tape
- Old newspapers or plastic sheets
- Cleaning implements
- Work clothes
Clean the surface. The first order of business is thoroughly cleaning the surface to be painted. Aside from cleaning debris and utensils, you will need to thoroughly clean the surface using household cleaning implements.
Sand the surface. After cleaning, you will need to sand the surface with a medium-grade sandpaper (200 grit will do). At this point, you will already lose whatever glossy surface your kitchen counter has. Don’t worry, you will be able to regain that luster after repainting. You can fill in any imperfections with epoxy glue. Be sure to sand the entire surface, so it will be level and smooth.
Prior to priming, be sure to use newspapers or a plastic sheet to cover surfaces that are not for painting. Hold these firmly in place with masking tape.
Prime the surface. After sanding, you will need to prime the surface. Make sure that you clean the surface of all sanding dust. You can wash it again with detergent and water. Just be sure to dry the surface completely.
Apply one coat of primer, then let dry for about two hours. Apply another coat, and let dry. For best results, leave the primer to dry overnight. Oil based primers and paint are a good choice for kitchen sinks, because they have good water repelling quality.
Paint on the surface. Making sure that the primer is dry, you can now apply the first layer of paint. You can use a paintbrush or roller, but you can also use a sponge, if you want a different-looking surface. Some would prefer to use different colors to achieve a marble-like design. Let the paint dry for about four hours before applying another layer. You will need to let the final layer dry overnight.
Seal the surface. Use the polyurethane sealant to seal over the surface. This will result in a shiny kitchen countertop surface. You can apply several layers of this sealant, to ensure that your painted kitchen countertop lasts longer.
Some tips. As with any paint job, put your safety above all else. Use a mask when painting, and be sure to open doors and windows for adequate ventilation. And as with all painting projects, the actual act of painting is sometimes the least difficult task. You must first need to determine what color scheme your kitchen countertop should have, and this is where your artistic flair and style should come in.
Painting and sealing a kitchen countertop can make it look new. Sealant also gives a kitchen countertop a glossy look and makes it durable enough to stand wear.

Start HIV study changes treatment guidelines across the planet
All HIV-positive people eligible for antiretroviral treatment should receive CD4, according to the new British HIV Association (BHIVA) treatment project, the study START HIV, That changes HIV guidelines.
The new design guidelines published for consultation this week, says someone living with HIV, and who understands the seriousness of the commitment to treatment, and are ready, psychologically speaking, to get the changes seropositive treatment guidelines, the Study, you should receive treatment. The change - from a recommendation to start treatment before the CD4 cell count falls below 350 cells per milliliter of blood for a treatment for all seropositive - follows the results of the START HIV study, an international study intensely expected on when to start treatment.
The START study showed that starting treatment with a CD4 count above 500 cells per cubic milliliter of blood has reduced the risk of death or serious illness in 53%, compared with waiting to start treatment until the CD4 count falls to 350 cells per cubic milliliter of blood. Although the absolute risk of death or serious illness is small - 3,7% people in the differentiated treatment arm became seriously ill or died, compared with 1.8% in the immediate treatment group, after more than three years of follow-up - the Committee of BHIVA guidelines concluded that the evidence now supports the provision of treatment to all people willing to receive it.
Two other recent studies, the Early Study and HPTN 052, also influenced the decision to offer treatment to all as the results of the start HIV study say.
Temprano, a study in West Africa showed that starting treatment at a cell count CD4 above 500 reduced the risk of severe disease and death in 44% compared to the beginning of treatment in low CD4 count.
The study HPTN 052 held in sub-Saharan Africa, India, Brazil, Thailand and the United States, showed that early treatment - starting with a CD4 cell count between 350 and 550 - reduced the risk of clinical disease 40%, but It did not significantly reduce the risk of death compared to starting treatment at a count of CD4 cells below 250 cells per cubic milliliter of blood.
HPTN 052 also showed that immediate treatment reduced the risk of sexual transmission of HIV in 96% [Soropositivo.org Editor's Note: Why, then, Lord, criminalize people living with HIV simply by not revealing their HIV status before beginning a sexual relationship?]. giving basis to the previous recommendation of BHIVA that someone living with HIV should have treatment initiated immediately reveal, because they believed that this could reduce the risk of transmission of HIV - and that all people living with HIV should be informed by their doctors evidence linking antiretroviral treatment for reducing the risk of transmission.
Data presented by the Health Surveillance of England, .no beginning of this year, show that this recommendation coincided with a substantial increase in the proportion of early treatment of people in CD4 count above 350 by the end of 2013 - but only 27 people started the treatment with a cell count CD4 above 500 that year.
The updated guidelines continue to emphasize this evidence and recommend that doctors should continue to discuss the transmission reduction potential for all people living with HIV. People living with HIV should be assessed for the immediate start of treatment after diagnosis, but the initiation of treatment should only be considered urgent for people with AIDS defining illness, bacterial infections severe or with a cell count below CD4 200 cells per cubic milliliter of blood. People in any of these categories should start treatment within two weeks at most, the guidelines recommend.
Recently infected persons - diagnosed with someone Primary HIV infection within 12 weeks after a previous negative test - should be encouraged to start treatment immediately in order to improve immune recovery, limit the size of the viral reservoir and limit the potential transmission of the disease at a time of very high viral load. Someone diagnosed with primary HIV infection who has a CD4 cell count below 350 cells per cubic milliliter of blood, one AIDS defining illnessor neurological symptoms should also be encouraged to start treatment so they can.
Other people diagnosed soon after infection should be invited to consider the initiation of treatment the same way as any other person diagnosed with HIV - when they feel prepared for it.
The guidelines also make a change more, recommending treatment based on efavirenz as the standard regimen for first-line treatment.
Efavirenz was at the heart of anti-retroviral first-line treatment in the UK for almost 15 years and has been the preferred choice of first line, since 2008, but recent experimental results have shown that some other agents are superior in some patient populations.
Trials have also reinforced doubts about the long-term tolerability of efavirenz.
Efavirenz has been downgraded to an alternative choice the first time. Instead, the guidelines now recommend that (in the UK) the first-line regimen should be based on:
- an integrase inhibitor - dolutegravir (Tivicay also available in pill "Triumeq" (a combination with abacavir and lamivudine), raltegravir (Isentress) or elvitegravircobicistat (Vitekta and Tybost also available in tablet Stribild combination with tenofovir and emtricitabine);
- one potentiating protease inhibitor (or atazanavirritonavir darunavirritonavir)
- the new inhibitor of reverse transcriptase non-nucleoside, rilpivirine (Edurant, also available in pill Eviplera combination with tenofovir and emtricitabine).
Doctors have been told to request information on the quality of sleep and mood in each clinical consultation of taking Efavirenz (In "ta Editor: Natasha RoxyOur collaborator, has reported "realistic dreams and unwillingness to work under effect of this medicine - Efavirenz, which has been used, according to anonymous reports, such as" recreational drug) in order to identify people who may benefit from switching to a drug better tolerated.
The preferred central axis for the first-line treatment remains the tenofovir and emtricitabine, with abacavir and lamivudine as an alternative where people do not have viral load above 100.000 copies per cubic milliliter of blood. Abacavir and lamivudine may be used in any viral load dolutegravir when combined with the fixed-dose combination pill Triumeq due to high power dolutegravir.
Abacavir is not suitable for use by people with a genetic profile that makes them hypersensitive to the drug, and everyone should be tested for the genetic marker HLA-B5701 to filter out people who are likely to be hypersensitive before starting treatment with the drug.
Abacavir should not be used in people at high risk of cardiovascular disease, and tenofovir should not be used in people with chronic kidney disease stage 3-5.

Stars shut out LPGE to end regular season
The River Lakes Stars boys' hockey team shut out Long Prairie-Grey Eagle 2-0 in their regular-season finale on Thursday. |
After a scoreless first period, junior forward Mike Anderson scored midway through the second period for the Stars, assisted by senior center Kyle Curran and sophomore defenseman Calvin Doll.
Sophomore wing Andy Schramel scored the Stars' other goal in the third period, assisted by sophomore defenseman Mike Mueller, from Paynesville, and Anderson.
Junior goalie Blake Theisen made 23 saves to record a shutout for the Stars, who improved to 5-14-1 with the victory. The Stars, though, went winless in ten games against Central Lakes Conference foes, playing these larger schools in boys' hockey for the first time. In nonconference games, the Stars are just above .500 for the season.
The Stars outshot LPGE 31-23.
This week, the Stars start the section playoffs. The Stars, seeded #7, played at St. Cloud Tech, the #2 seed, on Tuesday. If the Stars can upset Tech, they would play either at #3 Alexandria or at #6 St. Cloud Apollo on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Ratings for Dr. Harold R. Harmon
Very unprofessional and frequently gave me misdiagnoses due to his uneducated guesses and pompousness. He was very old school with little new education on envirnomental illness. Stubborn and unwilling to listen. Laughed at my opinions from physicians that were far more educated than him. Office is old and frumpy and looks like its from the sixties just like his education.
Dr Harmon is an excellent doctor and I am very thankful that he accepted me as a patient. He is a partner in your health care, he suggest healthy ways to take care of yourself and there is NO-EGO involved. I have great respect for him as a person and also as a doctor.
The evidence indicates this doctor's practice "misplaced" an important fecal occult blood test for almost 17 months. That "misplacement" put the patient in potentially serious "harm's way"and also had adverse significant economic consequences.The patient, when finally apprised of the test's result by a different specialist, then sent a letter in January 2009 to the internist, apprising him of the myriad problems created by the "misplacement" of the test's results.Next, in March 2009 the patient sent the internist a certified mailing, restricted delivery, which contained a updated cover letter and several relevant supporting documents. In short order the certified mailing came back as "refused." It would seem that the repeated failure by the physician to respond to wholly legitimate patient concerns speaks volumes?

Dedicated groups have been working several years to spruce up Miguel Keith Park, 30th and Y Streets in South Omaha, and erect a statue to the Medal of Honor recipient for which the green space is named.
The monument will be unveiled at 10 a.m. July 27 at the park.
Miguel Hernandez Keith, who grew up in north Omaha, died May 8, 1970, while serving with the Marines in Vietnam.
Keith was seriously wounded when his platoon came under heavy attack. Nevertheless, he advanced on the enemy with machine gun fire, killing three. The others dispersed. During this charge, he was severely wounded by a grenade. Despite wounds and blood loss, Keith charged 25 attackers, forcing their retreat. He was mortally wounded by enemy fire.

Color lovers rejoice! One of the hottest trends on the fashion runways was patterns and prints.
But not just ONE print; fashion designers everywhere are encouraging us to play with prints this year.
This means that this is the season to not just embrace a print, but to layer it with another print, mix patterns and be bold.
And if you’re not quite bold enough to pair two different prints with two different pieces, don’t be afraid to play with two different prints within one garment.
Nicole Fischelis, Macy’s Group Vice President and Fashion Director says of this trend, “I’m loving the Mix Master look with artistic collages of prints and patterns in a fusion of styles. Plus collectible accessories like novelty bags and architectural shoes.”
Looking for a way to make this trend even more wearable?
You can’t go wrong with your favorite jeans and black t-shirt with a mixed-print striped cardigan layered over the top.
So whether you’re ready to hit the runway or simply run to the grocery store, try playing with prints this season…you just might be the hottest mom on the block.
Ready to try the trend? Make sure to take advantage of the latest Macy’s sale going on now.

Hyundai and Uber team on the S-A1 at CES 2020
Hyundai has used the grand platform of CES 2020 to unveil its take on the future of urban mobility. At the heart of its plans is its S-A1, an electric flying taxi developed with Uber. A concept at this stage, the S-A1 is a four-passenger electric aircraft designed for short urban journeys made possible by helicopter-style vertical take-off and landing.
In the S-A1, Hyundai has become the first partner of Uber Elevate, Uber’s grand plan for transforming urban transportation by taking its ride-sharing business model to the sky. Hyundai’s S-A1 design builds on the design concepts established and shared by Uber Elevate in an attempt to help manufacturers stake a claim in the embryonic air taxi market. The S-A1 also constitutes the first fruit of Hyundai’s Urban Air Mobility (UAM) division. (Though confusingly, Hyundai also refers to its air taxis as UAM.)


Blast near Kabul Mosque after Friday prayers, at least four killed
- Ten people died in the explosion.
- A police spokesman says, “After the prayer, when people tried to come out of the mosque, there was an explosion.”
- There has been a blast in Wazir Akbar Khan.
Kabul: At least four people have been killed and 10 others injured in an explosion near a mosque in the Afghan capital.
The blast was the latest in a series of fatalities in recent months targeting Friday prayers in mosques, some of which were claimed by Daesh.
Kabul police spokesman Khalid Zadran said: “When people tried to come out of the mosque after the prayer, there was an explosion.” “All the casualties are civilians, the exact number is not yet clear.”
The Italian-NGO-run emergency hospital said it had found 14 people from the blast, four of whom had died.
The blast took place at Wazir Akbar Khan, formerly home to the city’s ‘Green Zone’, the site of several foreign embassies and NATO, but now controlled by the ruling Taliban.
The mosque has been the target of attacks in the past, including an explosion in June 2020 before the Taliban returned to power. In that attack the Imam of the mosque was killed and many people were injured.

By David R. Shorey, East County Program Manager, Institute for Public Strategies
March 31, 2021 (San Diego) -- When it comes to adverse mental health conditions related to COVID-19, younger adults, racial and ethnic minorities, essential workers and unpaid adult caregivers report having more increased substance use and mental health issues than others who are not listed in those categories.
That’s according to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) that was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) over the summer. In San Diego County, according to reports by the San Diego Association of Governments, approximately half of Black (52%) and Latinx (49%) residents live in ZIP codes with higher than average COVID-19 cases. The CDC suggests that the public health response to the pandemic should prioritize people of color with increased intervention and prevention.
At the Institute for Public Strategies, we couldn’t agree more. Equity should be the focus, front and center, in the public health arena and for the prevention and treatment of substance use disorders.
Studies have shown a correlation to experiences of racism and substance abuse by Indigenous, Black, Hispanic and other non-white ethnic groups (BIPOC). It has been shown that diverse communities are more frequently targeted and seen as dumping grounds by alcohol retailers than White communities. In ethnically diverse Spring Valley, and throughout East County, IPS has been working with community members to address over-concentration of alcohol retailers and illegally operating marijuana dispensaries. The City of Santee and community members including IPS, worked to identify and implement specific steps to raise awareness of and promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusions in the city. Hopefully, other cities will take their lead, roll up their sleeves and do the same.
The trend from the CDC’s summer survey continued until February when the Kaiser Family Foundation issued a brief that showed the pandemic has disproportionately affected the health of communities of color. Black adults reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder at a rate of 48%, while 46% of Latinx adults reported the same symptoms. Historically, the brief reported, these communities of color have faced challenges accessing mental health care.
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found similar results in an online survey that showed an increase in mental health issues, substance use and adults who reported thinking about, considering or planning suicide since before the pandemic.
The U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey is an ongoing, continuous measurement of how the pandemic is impacting our lives to present day. The survey began in April 2020, shortly after the pandemic did, teaming up with the National Center for Health Statistics. Respondents have been consistently reporting difficulty sleeping, more substance use, more depression and more anxiety. Young adults in the 18-24 age range are impacted most. The situation gets worse for people who have experienced the loss of their job; lower income earners; families with young children; those who suffer from social disparities like marginalized groups and communities of color; and essential workers. The pandemic will have a long term negative impact on all of us, especially BIPOC communities.
Statistics regarding San Diego County populations echo the results in the national surveys, and show a greater impact by COVID-19 on areas with higher unemployment and also where there are greater populations of Black and Latinx community members. Spring Valley, El Cajon and areas along Interstate 8 east of there have greater amounts of COVID-19 infection. These areas also tend to have higher concentrations of BIPOC community members.
So now that we can all agree there is a problem when it comes to health equity, it’s time to start defining solutions. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration. SAMSHA defines behavioral health equity as the right to access quality health care for all populations regardless of the individual’s race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation or geographical location. This includes access to prevention, treatment, and recovery services for mental and substance use disorders.
While we’re at it, let’s commit to fair and just practices across all sectors of society. That means education, housing, transportation, community development, commerce, finance and other sectors must be involved in efforts for health equity, and that our definition should acknowledge explicitly that health equity requires efforts beyond the health care sector. We should be able to measure our progress, because without measurement there is no accountability. We should be respectful of the groups of particular concern, not only defining the challenges they face but also affirming their strengths.
Through our County of San Diego contracted substance use program, IPS has focused our work in East County on address systemic issues that create an environment conducive to substance abuse in communities. Issues like over-concentration of adult oriented businesses (alcohol retailers, cannabis dispensaries, massage parlors, hookah lounges, vape stores), lack of access to healthy food, and limited park space or walkable areas create inequitable community conditions. Studies have shown that inequitable conditions contribute to toxic stress responses which have a significant impact on decisions to uses drugs and alcohol. This is especially impactful for youth where toxic stress and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) can play a significant role in development and outcomes later in life.
According to an article by the Center for American Progress, “toxic stress hijacks the body’s immune and endocrine systems and is damaging for a child’s developing brain. It can affect attention, memory, planning, future stress responses, and the ability to learn new skills. It can leave a child with an impaired ability to deal with powerful or negative emotions, leading to behavioral problems in school, possible self-harm, and substance abuse problems in adolescence.”
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors in January approved a resolution declaring racism a public health crisis, vowing to create a County Racial Equity Action Plan. The Board also established the Office of Equity and Racial justice last year and revived the San Diego County Leon L. Williams Human Relations Commission. These are steps in the right direction. Let’s keep the momentum going.
Information and resources for mental health conditions and substance use disorder are available by calling the Access and Crisis Line at (888) 724-7240. The National Association for Mental Illness San Diego Chapter has a downloadable app called oscER (Organized Support Companion in an Emergency Situation) that provides guidance and resources for navigating mental health issues. If you or some you know is experiencing a mental health or medical emergency, call 911.
IPS works alongside communities to build power, challenge systems of inequity, protect health and improve quality of life.

Mmmmm, tacos. Sorry, I mean t.co . After rolling out its link-wrapping service more than a year ago , Twitter has recently begun converting the vast majority of shared links to this delicious form. And there’s more to come—much of which will affect how brands operate on Twitter. Let’s take a look at how the landscape is changing and what Internet marketers need to know.
What is t.co?
t.co is Twitter’s official link service , which shortens all links posted through the website as well as guards users against unsafe or spam links.
As Twitter explains at the very sparse home of t.co , “Twitter uses the t.co domain as part of a service to protect users from harmful activity, to provide value for the developer ecosystem and as a quality signal for surfacing relevant, interesting Tweets.”
So it’s a URL shortener?
Not exactly. t.co does shorten links, but it’s really a URL wrapper—a kind of way station for links. Twitter’s goal is to use t.co behind the scenes to 1) protect users and 2) get more accurate data on link clicks and shares—metrics that will presumably be rolled out to users in the near future.
Quoth Twitter: “After the full t.co rollout is complete and our analytics has crystallized, we’ll be offering a set of APIs that developers can leverage to enrich their applications with gathered data.”
How t.co works with links
Here’s how it looks when we share a 竞彩体育平台 Tools post about blogging tools for pros .
And here’s how followers see that post on Twitter.
So here we can see that t.co is doing all the work behind the scenes, allowing you to share links more conveniently and your followers to better gauge the content they’re about to click on.
All of this would be great if Twitter’s web client were the only way people were using the service. But there are a million ways to tweet and view tweets, not to mention third-party URL shorteners and branded URL shorteners. That’s where things start to get a little messy.
Here’s how our original shared link appears on Tweetdeck.
Now we see the t.co link itself, although hovering over the link reveals the full URL. Viewing the link in Hootsuite is very similar.
Here’s how the link looks in Twitter’s desktop client.
Now we’ve lost all association with the full URL and followers are left only with the not-very-descriptive t.co to determine what they might get if they click.
Twitter has maintained that their goal is for links to maintain as much of their integrity as possible while t.co works behind the scenes, virtually invisible to users. They’re clearly not all the way there with this yet.
Can I opt out of t.co?
Not gonna happen. Twitter plainly states on its dev page that “users won’t be able to opt-out of using t.co .”
As of now, t.co automatically wraps all links submitted to Twitter 19 characters or greater. By October 10, 2011 Twitter will wrap all URLs, regardless of length.
And yes, we do mean ALL links. From Twitter’s FAQ :
“If you enter a URL shorter than 19 characters into the Tweet box, our system will still ‘shorten’ it to 19 characters. (example: https://about.me/ will take up 19 characters in your Tweet even though its URL is only 16 characters long.)”
How t.co affects URL shorteners
URL shorteners like bit.ly, owl.ly and awe.sm still work, with all metrics intact, although those links are still routed through t.co.
So if you like the analytics you’re get from your current URL shortener, keep going with it. But once Twitter reveals just what it’s going to do with all this t.co data, the ground is likely to shift beneath the URL shorteners we’ve come to know and love.
For metrics-heads like most marketers I know, this could be a good thing. Established services fighting for a way to stay relevant to users could equal new innovations for all of us.
How t.co affects branded URLs
Despite the great lengths (and expense) many brands have gone through to develop their own third-party branded URLs, they could lose a bit of their cache in this shift.
If you gain the benefit of deeper data from using a branded URL, they’re still useful. But the association and trust that branded URLs were great for will soon be available to all, once developers can use t.co’s tweet entities to assure users see links in a meaningful (and potentially branded?) way.
For now, though, traditional branded URLs are holding up with various degrees of success as they spread.
Here’s a New York Times branded link. During the process of the retweet, you can see t.co in action.
But the end result is an intact branded URL.
Why t.co is good for analytics
Twitter has long generated traffic that was notoriously hard to track. A recent blog post over at awe.sm shows that Twitter could drive up to 4 times the traffic you think it does. In their study, the vast majority of links shared through Twitter showed up as “direct traffic” in Google Analytics—Twitter wasn’t being picked up as the referrer. Not good.
t.co goes a long way towards fixing this problem by using one consistent wrapper for all links, making it way easier to measure the amount of traffic to your site from Twitter regardless of whether they found your link through a mobile application, a third-party client or on the web.
Why t.co is bad for analytics (right now)
The only bad news is that t.co arrived half-baked instead of fully formed—and marketers don’t like to wait (or maybe that’s just me?).
It doesn’t yet offer the tweet-level analytics that shorteners like bit.ly offer today, and Twitter’s not really letting us know when that might change or what it might cost us.
Meanwhile, it would be nice to see the semantics that Twitter is promising for users also make it back to Google Analytics. Right now, t.co links don’t give you a lot to work with without an extra click to see what the content in question was, as seen here in 竞彩体育平台 Tools’ integration of Google Analytics .
Once you do parse out which piece of content the t.co link refers to, you’re likely to find (like I did) that some pieces of content developed more than one t.co link as they traveled around the web—whether that’s on purpose or by accident is hard to say just yet, but it’s definitely confusing.
But t.co is still a work in progress for now, and one that shows a lot of potential for marketers.
Have you noticed t.co making a difference in your analytics? Let us know what you think.

This, to me, is one of those things that are simply divine on a hot summer´s day and a cold beer of glass of wine. And not only is it yummy, but it is easy to do, it is versatile, it is cheap and it is quick. My mom gave me this récipe a few years back and I am so grateful she did! Trust mom to know what to do in the kitchen!
Peperonata normally has red peppers only but since I had half of a yellow and green pepper, I decided to throw them in too. Great for extra color!
2 large red bell peppers, seeded and diced. (I used 1 and a half large red peppers and added the halves of the yellow and green peppers. The yellow and green peppers were small)
400 grams tomatoes, skinned and chopped, or 400 g canned plum tomatoes
60 ml olive oil
2 to 3 good sized cloves of chopped garlic (If you like garlic, be generous)
Salt and pepper
Pinch of dried chili flakes
Heat the oil in a large pan on low heat with the chopped garlic. Add the peppers. Cook very gently on low heat, stirring occasionally for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the chili flakes and cook for one minute. Pour in the tomatoes and season with salt pepper and throw in a bit of chopped parsley. Cook gently for about an hour, uncovered, stirring occasionally. It will be ready when most of the liquid has evaporated.
This will keep in the fridge, covered, for several days.
For tapas: Serve cold on toatsed bread as a fantastic tapa. It can also be used as a dip for breadsticks.
For meals: It ican be used as a topping for fish and chicken.
Enjoy! Xxxx Natascha

A stunning image showing off the wondrous spirals of the ‘Eye of Africa’, also known as the Richat structure, has been captured by French ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
The incredible structure, located in the Sahara desert in Mauritania, has a diameter of 50km (31 miles) and was originally thought to be a meteorite-impact crater. Scientists now believe, however, it was formed through erosion.
The phenomenal circular feature has long been a favorite among space photographers.
Pesquet arrived at the ISS in November as part of the six-month, Expedition 50 mission, and has already shared some spectacular pictures of his view from space.

WILLIAM BILLINGS, AN EARLY AMERICAN COMPOSER OF MUSIC AND HIS SEDITIOUS SONG CHESTER The Cultural Significance of Tune Names During the American Revolution
|Author: ||Brewer, Charles|
|Price:||$159.95 + tax & shipping|
|(Click the PayPal button to buy)|
William Billing's Chester is perhaps his best known composition, though the choice of name is atypical of his usual naming practice, since the name Chester occurs rarely in sources from Colonial New England, and the significance of his significance of his evocative text that has not been examined in detail.
"Focusing on political history and context, Brewer's monograph establishes a new role for these tunebooks. Firmly anchored in their time and place of publication and authored by one who was passionately committed to the patriotic cause, they functioned as political statements and topical commentaries in addition to being musical anthologies."
Dr. Nym Cooke,
Eagle Hill School
"Professor Brewer is deft in handling both the music and the historical background and sources. The breadth and depth of his research in British and American history and genealogical documents is masterful and impressive. With this monograph Professor Brewer has built a convincing case in support of his thesis. He demonstrates the significance of the names of Billing's tunes and points out that arguably Billing's most well-known work, Chester, is particularly meaningful politically because it connects Britain's Civil War one-hundred years earlier with the American Revolution.
Dr. Barbara Lambert,
"One result of this analysis is a portrait of William Billings as an American patriot, a portrait of revolutionary fervor. A second result, at least for this reader , is a presentation of evidence that Billings was a theologian of America's role in the divine plan."

Florida State University

On July 26, Southern psych-rocker Ian Ferguson will release a new album, State Of Gold, via County Fair Records. Ahead of the album’s release, Ferguson has shared the official music video for his new single “Tyrants Waltz,” premiering below.
“Tyrants Waltz” explores the many forms tyrannical leaders can take. Ferguson wrote the song years back, before, as he puts it, “the current state of affairs.” In light of today’s political climate, Ferguson believes “Tyrants Waltz” to be “more relevant now than back then.”
“Tyrants can exist in many forms, under different guises,” he says. “Sometimes they’re obvious and sometimes they surprise you. Often times, they seem to represent the exact thing they’re working to dismantle.”
For the track’s official video, which combines colorful animation with vintage film footage, Ferguson tapped director Pam Detrich, a California-based artist/illustrator known for work on shows like South Park.
Watch the video for “Tyrants Waltz” and see Ferguson’s upcoming tour dates below.
Ian Ferguson tour dates:
7/26 – Nashville, TN @ Grimey’s – Record Release in-store
8/2 – Charlotte, NC @ River Jam
8/7 @ Club Café Pittsburgh, PA – *direct support to SUSTO*
8/9 @ Songbyrd Washington, DC

Following a four-issue run from Press Gang and Floating World Comics that concludes next month, Corey Lewis’ Sun Bakery anthology will move to Image Comics in 2017.
Lewis noted on his Tumblr the change in publishers, stating that Image will re-release all four issues previously released by Press Gang/Floating World Comics. Beyond some “mild design changes,” the content will be the same. The series will continue beyond the fourth issue, and Lewis teased the return of his Sharknife character in future issues, who previously appeared in graphic novels by Oni Press.
“This is going to be my most focused, concise, consistent foray into the realm of monthly comic book making,” Lewis said in the post. “So I’m really hoping you all join me in 2017.”
Watch for the “new” first issue in February.

With 'Humble Quest,' Maren Morris is closely following her compass
These days, it's not too surprising when a country singer crosses over onto the pop charts – but a few years ago, one country singer went where few others had gone before. She scored a global electronic dance hit. That song, "The Middle," came from DJ Zedd, the EDM duo Grey and country singer Maren Morris.
The single introduced a lot of people to Morris's voice, but with her new album, Humble Quest, she wants fans of that song to get to know her. It is Maren Morris's first album since the pandemic – and its provocative title might need a little explaining.
Morning Edition's A Martínez spoke to Morris from her home in Nashville.
This interview has been edited and condensed. To hear the broadcast version of this conversation, you can use the audio player at the top of the page.
A Martínez, Morning Edition: So, Maren, you've got a provocative album title here, Humble Quest. So I think that might need some explaining. What is your humble quest with this album?
Maren Morris: I feel like the making of this album, not that I would classify it as a pandemic record, but it was certainly created during one ... I feel like I went through a ton of changes and deterioration and growth, and I had my son at the beginning of COVID. And so right after that, like, all touring got blown out for two years. It was sort of like me discovering this new part of myself as a mom – and at the same time losing a little bit of my identity as an artist, because I wasn't able to work.
And I also lost my friend and producer [Michael James Ryan] Busbee to cancer, who I did my two previous records with. There were a lot of things that changed for me before I was able to sit down and write this one.
You had that first child in March of 2020, right? You had your kid during a time when the world was very uncertain.
Yeah, it was scary – and especially this being my first kid, you're already just petrified and don't know what you're doing. It was bizarre. It was the same week when the hospital was starting to do, like, temperature checks and crack down on any guests being with you. I think we were the only people giving birth on the floor that night, and it was super eerie.
But at the same time looking back on it now, it's been two years – my son's going to be two this week, which is crazy – it was such a precious time for my husband and I to share with our son because it was so quiet and there were no distractions. And I think we'll always look back on this window of time with our son as such a gift because we got to be with him every single day.
Now, I know a lot of people probably come to know you through that huge dance hit that you had a few years ago, called "The Middle." Your new album, though, is not like that at all. And I don't want to call it a rejection of electronic music, but there really isn't a hint of that in this new album. Was building on the success of "The Middle" something you ever considered, maybe even a shift into electronic music?
No, I don't think so. When I put "The Middle" out with Zedd years ago, I was a country artist. And he jokes, like, he had never heard of me because he's an EDM DJ. I don't think country music is the first genre he's going to listen to. But you know, my voice just fit the song.
I always considered "The Middle" to be living in its own universe separate from my own solo work. It was always going to be its own thing – I was never going to try to follow "The Middle" with another giant pop song. It definitely had so many moments and firsts for me to be a part of a song that was that big, and it honestly led me to where I am today. Like, working with Greg Kurstin. I met him through Sarah Aarons, who's a writer on "The Middle," and we met when I did that song with Zedd. And so in a weird way, this giant pop song led me to this album being created with Greg.
I never try to plan or force these giant song moves. I just always trust my gut: "Hey, is the song great? Do you want to do it? Will it be fun?" Yeah. Say yes. And I've kind of done that all throughout my career. I've had a really fluid go of things because I've done "The Middle," I've been on Elton John's project, I've started The Highwomen [with Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby and Amanda Shires], and then my song "The Bones," on my last record, was weirdly crossover from country to pop. I just think I'm always going to be a little different than the norm.
But you consider yourself a country artist still, right? Because I mean, I asked Google this question. I wrote right in the search bar: "What kind of genre is Maren Morris?"
What did it say? What answer came up?
Google said "country." You're a country artist according to Google. You're good with that?
I'm good with that. Yeah. I feel very safe here ... for me, all my favorite artists that I look up to have done all kinds of genres throughout their careers, like Willie Nelson doing an album with Ray Charles, Dolly Parton doing a huge duet pop song with Kenny Rogers. And I'm a huge Linda Ronstadt fan, who was always genre-bending. So even though I live in Nashville and I'm from Texas and I feel like my songwriting at its core is country, I think you can hear a lot of different influences when you've heard any of my records. So I'm fine with the title "Country Artist."
You're going to be hitting the road in June, 41 dates – most of them amphitheaters. I don't know if you know this, but you're Maren Morris, so I think you could probably sell out arenas. So why mostly amphitheaters?
There's a couple of different reasons. I remember we were starting to plan this tour last summer, in the middle of a pandemic and trying to get touring back together. We had a few on hold, like I was supposed to be doing Madison Square Garden and American Airlines Center in Dallas. And I looked at my manager last summer and I was getting really anxious. I was like, "I don't think I'm ready to do those venues yet." On an artist level, I don't feel ready. Also, we're still in a pandemic. It feels weird to immediately be going into these huge rooms and we're still picking up the pieces of the last two years.
You wrote a letter accompanying this album, and in it you write how the pandemic humbled you. "Shooting off your mouth one too many times" humbled you. The death of a friend, motherhood and marriage all humbled you. Marin, what have you discovered about the word 'humble?' What does the word "humble" mean to you now?
I always thought that was such an interesting word, because it does mean that you're grounded and you don't have a big head about something – but I think that for me, over the last two years, that word has changed. I think it means you're the closest to your compass that you've ever been. It's not for public consumption of how relatable you are. It's: How in touch are you with yourself and your loved ones? Like, the people that know you the closest?
And so, yeah, I think taking that power back with that word is why I wrote the song "Humble Quest" – how it's going to be an ongoing conversation and journey and will probably never end. And I'm okay with that. We're all just awkwardly feeling our way through this weird world.

The origin of Visual Private Network as a software was seen in business areas where there was need to establish a secure connection with a server and database. The major functions that it plays are to secure the IP address and encrypt the data that passes through VPN. With this technology, it all has become visual as LAN wires have been changed, the connections have turned to be private and security has become more important.
Since the data travels around various networks, it is important to protect it and the substance that gives such protection is VPN. NordVPN secure public connection over the internet by encrypting information. Since with the increasing demands of securing the networks and connection there were many providers who are offering such services. So, selection of them should be based on the online privacy and the VPN service provider should make sure that they should be transparent about the private policies, take necessary steps to secure the data and not to keep information about the browsing activity.
Every internet user who is operating over private networks is required to have a secure VPN server solution and the factors that should be considered are:
- The cost factor, whether the services provided met the cost received by them. If they are providing it for free, there may be chances that they might be earning a sum from the data of a particular user.
- To check the features that are essential to maintain the security and it should have no-log feature. This means that the VPN provider should not transmit any valuable data that may threatens the online privacy
Thus, it should be noted that the safety and privacy of data should be in the safe hands with any reputed VPN service provider keeping the level of work at a great speed.

2F118 – KELP MEAL
Kelp Meal 1-0-2
Kelp Meal is an all natural, 100% organic fertilizer made from dried ocean seaweed. Full of beneficial vitamins and mineral, this all purpose soil treatment works great on potassium loving plants such as lettuce and potatoes.
Over 70 vitamins and minerals in one easy to apply treatment
If you’re like most growers, you know the benefits of properly fertilized plants and flowers. It’s no secret that a garden is only as good as the soil it’s grown in. And while most soils can grow plants, many lack the balanced nutrients necessary for growing great plants. Using Kelp Meal can be your solution for this problem.
Kelp Meal is a 100% natural, all organic fertilizer comprised of mulched sea weed and harvested fresh from the ocean. A highly renewable resource (see below), ocean kelp can be found throughout the world and has been used for centuries as an all natural organic fertilizer with documented success.
Kelp Meal contains highly concentrated amounts of vitamins and minerals, including potassium that when absent in plants leads to
- Unhealthy plants more susceptible to disease
- Smaller foliage, fruits, and vegetables
- Smaller overall yields
- Reduced or diminished garden appearance
Using Kelp Meal will revitalize your soil and give your plants all the potassium they need to really grow.
How an ocean plant can help your garden
Oceans contain every natural element known to man. And while sea water is being experimented with as an irrigation alternative in some parts of the world, dried seaweed applications such as Kelp Meal, are proven growth supplements with verified results. Kelp Meal is an outstanding organic fertilizer full of minerals and vitamins that plants on terra firma can fully benefit from too.
Kelp, or sea weed, has a cellulose structure that filters sea water and stores nutrients. This constant filtration of minerals allows the plant to grow at incredible speeds, sometimes at rates of up to 3 feet a day. This makes kelp an abundant, renewable resource and provides food for many of the creatures found in the sea. Although, not every ocean animal eats seaweed, most prey on smaller forms of life that depend on seaweed.
Kelp is a 100% natural source of over 70 vitamins and minerals which can be applied to any soil or plant without worrying about harmful chemicals or waste by-products. Kelp Meal is a great way to feed your garden and an ecologically friendly choice for fertilization. Let the bounty of minerals found in the ocean work for you in your garden.

We examine the impact of uncertainty on vertical and horizontal FDI. Our model shows that greater supply uncertainty reduces the expected income from vertical FDI but increases the expected income from horizontal FDI. Greater demand uncertainty adversely affects the expected income under both production modes. Uncertainty about predatory actions by the host country is more costly to the multinational under vertical than under the horizontal mode. We examine sales by foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies. Conditioning on host-country characteristics thought to influence FDI, we find evidence that volatility and sovereign risk have a greater negative impact on vertical FDI than on horizontal FDI.

25 May – Free Legal Aid Day
On 25 May leading defence lawyer organizations and law firms around the country are opening their doors to all those wishing to receive free legal consultations.
On Free Legal Aid Day 2012 people on low incomes, NGOs, charities and other non-profit-making organizations will have the opportunity to receive qualified assistance. There will also be a roundtable on developing a culture of pro bono in Ukraine. Participants will include leading law organizations and charities, as well as the partners of the project. This is the third time the annual Free Legal Aid Day is being run. It was the initiative of the Association of Lawyers of Ukraine and has been supported by organizations and firms throughout Ukraine.
Arkady Bushchenko, Executive Director of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union is convinced that lawyers, like doctors and teachers, have a social duty. Lawyers must be concerned about strengthening the legal system of the country since it is that structure in which they themselves work. If the system is destroyed, this must inevitably influence their work.
Free Legal Aid Day 2012 is supported by the Association of Lawyers of Ukraine; the Ukrainian Association of Defence Lawyers; the Ukrainian Union of Defence Lawyers; the Ukrainian Council of Defence Lawyers; the Kyiv City Qualification and Disciplinary Commission of the Legal Profession; the International Renaissance Foundation; the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union; the Ukrainian Legal Aid Foundation. Information support is provided by the Centre for Human Rights Information.

Mitt Romney has launched a three-day bus tour in New Hampshire, in part, to erase his aloof image. He's giving more interviews and shaking more hands – and getting a bump in the polls.
With the holiday season, and its family themes, in full swing, Republican candidates' spouses are making the rounds on the campaign trail and the airwaves.
Congress continues to skirmish over the best way to extend unemployment benefits and the payroll tax cut. A separate bill to fund the federal government for the rest of fiscal 2012 is caught in the crossfire.
House Republicans met behind closed doors Friday in search of common ground on the payroll-tax cut and other popular measures, set to expire Dec. 31.
The old way of resolving disputes on Capitol Hill – backroom deals greased with US dollars for lawmakers' districts – has been replaced this year by a new brinkmanship. But the game of chicken has its own unintended consequences.
The pining continues for someone 'better' than the Republicans already in the presidential race, hence the renewed interest in Gov. Chris Christie. Angst over a 'flawed' field is nothing new.

Monetary policy is the process by which the monetary authority of a country controls the supply of money, often targeting a rate of interest for the purpose of promoting economic growth and stability. The official goals usually include relatively stable prices and low unemployment. Monetary theory provides insight into how to craft optimal monetary policy. It is referred to as either being expansionary or contractionary, where an expansionary policy increases the total supply of money in the economy more rapidly than usual, and contractionary policy expands the money supply more slowly than usual or even shrinks it. Expansionary policy is traditionally used to try to combat unemployment in a recession by lowering interest rates in the hope that easy credit will entice businesses into expanding. Contractionary policy is intended to slow inflation in hopes of avoiding the resulting distortions and deterioration of asset values.
Monetary policy differs from fiscal policy, which refers to taxation, government spending, and associated borrowing.
Famous quotes containing the words monetary and/or policy:
“There is no legislationI care not what it istariff, railroads, corporations, or of a general political character, that all equals in importance the putting of our banking and currency system on the sound basis proposed in the National Monetary Commission plan.”
—William Howard Taft (18571930)
“A country survives its legislation. That truth should not comfort the conservative nor depress the radical. For it means that public policy can enlarge its scope and increase its audacity, can try big experiments without trembling too much over the result. This nation could enter upon the most radical experiments and could afford to fail in them.”
—Walter Lippmann (18891974)

Wife who struggles with depression shares genius hack for helping her husband support her
Sometimes talking things out isn't the best way to communicate.
Dealing with a mental illness is hard. Loving someone who is dealing with a mental illness is also hard. When you're the person struggling, you need support from your loved ones, but you may not be able to verbalize what you need exactly, especially in the moment. And when you're a loved one who wants to provide that support, you can feel lost and helpless trying to figure out what actually helps.
Johnson starts by acting out a conversation she and her husband often have she's in a depressive episode. She says she's sad and doesn't know why. Her husband asks what she needs, and she says he could be more supportive. He asks how he can be more supportive. In her head, she thinks, "I have about a thousand ways that I think you could be more supportive, but they're all tiny and little and insignificant, and it feels weird to have the conversation and tell you a thousand things that you could do, so instead I'm just gonna continue being sad and we'll both be frustrated."
"You're not saying anything," says her husband. "Please tell me what to do, because I don't know what depression is like and I don't know what to do."
End scene. Sound familiar?
Johnson then shares that she came up with a solution that solves this dilemma, helping her husband understand what support she needs when she's struggling. It's so simple, but not something most people would necessarily think to do.
Now the list is there for us to add to, revise, and to refer to! He feels more supported and capable in being supportive and actually helping and I feel more supported and, less depressed! #depression #mentalhealth #bipolar #bipolar2 #depressiontips #supportperson
Being unable to verbalize needs when you're in a depressed state is totally normal, so it's helpful to think about communicating those needs proactively, ahead of time, when you're feeling healthy.
What's brilliant about the written list strategy is that, as Johnson points out, body language and facial expressions can sometimes be misinterpreted, especially when navigating mental and emotional realities. Even longtime married couples can misread worry for annoyance or interpret a thoughtful pause as reticence or judgment, so sometimes writing things down—even clarifying questions like her husband did—is more effective.
In the age of email and texting, written communication has perhaps been overly dismissed as impersonal or as a way to avoid difficult face-to-face conversations. Certainly, it can be, but in some cases, writing things out can be preferable to verbal communication. This is one of those times.
Having those ways to be supportive written down also provides a tangible resource her husband can access any time he needs to, and that resource can also be updated in real time as needed.
People in the comments loved the idea.
"Extremely relatable as I just had a 10 min back & forth of 'what do you need' 'idk' w my partner before he was just like ok I’m making you an egg," shared one person.
"The fact that he typed out the replies shows how much he understands the way your brain works!!! 🧡🧡🧡" shared another.
"It's like the equivalent of "this could've been an email" in the workplace when they schedule a meeting. It makes a lot of sense, really!" offered another.
Many people asked if they could see her list as inspiration or jumping off points for their own, so she offered to email it to people who wanted it. (You can access that link here.)

SEATTLE (Aug. 26, 2013) — Licensed Massage Practitioners at the Seattle-based Massage Bar, Inc. voted last week by an overwhelming margin to form a union with Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU) Local 8.
“We’re proud of our profession and forming a union will help us gain more recognition,” says Tonya Zarlengo, an 8-year employee and member of the Organizing Committee.
Massage Bar, Inc. was founded in 1993 by Cary Cruea with a mission to introduce the traveling public to the benefits of massage therapy. Massage Bar is recognized as a pioneer and leader in airport seated massage and has locations in Nashville, Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, Boise and Cincinnati. Seattle-based employees work at SeaTac Airport and the Washington Convention Center. Earlier this year, employees at the Sacramento branch voted to join OPEIU Local 29.
Employees contacted OPEIU Local 8 in the early summer to get help addressing a cutback in shift hours, seemingly to avoid future requirements of the Affordable Care Act.
“We lack the basic benefits many health professionals enjoy, like access to affordable health care or paid sick leave. We hope to work in partnership with management to make improvements that will benefit employees and the company,” said Tom Tanouye, a 17 year employee.
Heather Parent, a newer employee, said, “This is really groundbreaking for our industry.”
Employees hope to start contract negotiations shortly.
OPEIU Local 8 is a statewide union has members at Group Health, Sea Mar Community Health Center, Seattle Housing Authority, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, and many other health and social service organizations.

World's Longest River Cruise 'MV Ganga Vilas' Reaches Bihar’s Capital Patna
The world's longest river cruise, MV Ganga Vilas, reached Bihar’s capital Patna this evening (16 January).
The cruise vessel sailed as per its schedule on the National Waterway - 1 (NW-1) anchoring at Ghazipur on Friday, Buxar on Saturday and Mauzampur (Arrah) on Sunday (15 January). After stopping at Doriganj today, the cruise vessel reached Patna.
As per the planned itinerary the tourist visited destinations en-route, including Doriganj to see the ruins of the Fort.
“All through its journey the waterway levels were fully maintained and monitored for the required draft of navigation facilities. The draft waterway at Doriganj is 3.5 m much above the vessel draft requirement of 1.4 m,” Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways said.
The ministry also said that there is no truth in the news that the vessel is stuck at Chhapra.
MV Ganga Vilas is the first-ever cruise vessel to be made in India and it began its journey from Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and will reach Dibrugarh in Assam, via Bangladesh.
It will cover 3,200 kilometers across 27 river systems, in five states, in India and Bangladesh in 51 days.
Flagged off by PM Modi on Friday (13 January), the 51-day cruise is planned with visits to 50 tourist spots including world heritage sites, national parks, river ghats, and major cities like Patna in Bihar, Sahibganj in Jharkhand, Kolkata in West Bengal, Dhaka in Bangladesh and Guwahati in Assam.
