America’s Suburban Landscape
Why has America pursued a pro-suburban development policy over the past century, and what are the consequences of this societal preference? Scholars from such diverse fields as economics, environmental studies, demography, engineering, government, and ethnography wrestle with these fundamental questions on a daily basis, and they will drive our research, discussions, and hands-on activities throughout the semester. Of particular interest to our class is the impact that suburban bias has had on America’s transportation systems, popular culture, housing supply, and environmental health. We will examine the effects of suburban bias upon families and children, aesthetics, local economies and communities, nearby core cities, and issues of race, class, and gender. The course will trace the history of American suburbs, with an especial focus on the development of laws and policies dedicated to outward growth. Students will observe land use policies in Canton, present a problem-based group memo on a metropolitan development issue, use GIS to calculate the individual costs and benefits associated with different land use decisions, and conduct a semester-length, process-based research project on a pressing suburban question. We will conclude the course by considering the future of the suburbs. In America, how will suburban communities respond to deep concerns related to increasing poverty, aging infrastructures, millennials seeking different built environments, and housing supply imbalances? Beyond the US, how will developing countries meet the needs of the hundreds of millions of people expected to move to metropolitan areas over the next two decades? And how will they apply lessons from a century’s worth of precedents in American development and planning?

BRUSSELS - After saying he had the power to make them do it - but wouldn’t - European Commission Migration chief Dimitris Avramopoulos now has turned to pleading with them to meet quotas to take refugees and migrants from overwhelmed Greece and Italy.
Fewer than 14,500 asylum seekers have been relocated under the two-year plan that was supposed to cover 160,000 people and expires in September.
Some 64,000 are stuck in Greece with the suspension of a European Union swap deal with Turkey, including nearly 14,000 on Aegean islands, the first choice for those fleeing war torn countries in hopes of reaching more prosperous countries.
The EU has closed its borders to them and also planning to return those who got into other countries and ship them back to Greece under regulations which stipulate they can seek asylum only in the first country in which they land, almost always Greece or Italy.
Speaking ahead of an EU Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting in Brussels yesterday, Avramopoulos, said Europe must offer protection to those who need it but has the right to ship illegals out.
“We must build a Europe that is safe for all its citizens,” he said after representatives from a citizens group on the island of Chios upset so many refugees are being hosted there testified in the European Parliament.
The group is reportedly considering challenging the implementation of the EU-Turkey deal aimed at curbing refugee flows in the Aegean at the European Court of Justice, Kathimerini said.
A total 3,580 migrants and refugees are currently stranded on Chios, according to official figures and another 74 landed there between March 27-28.
Avramopoulos earlier in March said Turkey will unleash three million refugees on Greece unless a European Union swap deal is upheld.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan got an agreement for six billion euros, visa-free travel in the bloc for Turkish citizens and faster entry into the EU as part the deal that has been suspended because of an overwhelming number of refugees in Greece seeking asylum after Europe closed its borders to them.
Before the deal, Erdogan let human traffickers ship refugees and migrants, most fleeing Syria’s civil war, to nearby Aegean islands where Greek officials have been left mostly on their own to deal with them.
Refugees and migrants in Greece are being housed n camps and detention centers, stuck in limbo with no place to go – unable to move on to other EU countries and fighting deportation back to Turkey.
Avramopoulos, who on March 21 warned EU countries they have to take in refugees as promised has also said he can’t do anything to make them meet their word.
He spoke then in Poland, whose Euroskeptic government rejected a mandatory quota agreed on by EU leaders in September, 2015, and has taken in none of the nearly 6,200 migrants allocated to it.
Avramopoulos has the power to sue countries for failing to meet the deal but hasn’t and has largely stayed out of the crisis apart from visits to the island of Lesbos in his homeland. The Commission has said forcing EU countries to live up to deals they sign is too politically sensitive to enforce.
“It is important for governments to understand that they should be part of it,” Avramopoulos told a news conference in Warsaw. “If some of them do not comply… the Commission has the power, the tools to convince these countries,” even though he hasn’t yet.
Some 1.6 million refugees and migrants reached the European Union between 2014 and 2016 and how to handle them has been a major point of contention between member states.
In comments during a visit to Athens then, Avramopoulos said the deal signed last year between Turkey and the EU had reduced an influx of migrants toward Europe and curbed deaths at sea.

Jill provides speech therapy services to families at her office in San Anselmo and at select private schools. She uses innovative, evidence based intervention strategies and is trained in the following specialized techniques:
PROMPT is an acronym for Prompts for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets. The technique is a tactile-kinesthetic approach that uses touch cues to a patient’s articulators (jaw, tongue, lips) to manually guide them through a targeted word, phrase or sentence. The technique develops motor control and the development of proper oral muscular movements, while eliminating unnecessary muscle movements, such as jaw sliding and inadequate lip rounding. Therapists begin by helping patients produce certain phonemes. A phoneme is the smallest increment of sound in speech. For example, the “d” sound in the word dog is one phoneme, the “o” is another and the “g” is yet another. Each phoneme requires different muscle contractions/retractions and placement/movement of the jaw, lips, tongue, neck and chest to produce. All of these things have to happen with the proper timing and sequence to produce one phoneme correctly. The therapist attempts to “teach” the patient’s muscles to produce a phoneme correctly by stimulating all of these through touch. With the timing and movement of more than 100 muscles involved, you can see why the training is so intense. PROMPT therapy is appropriate for a wide range of patients with communication disorders. The most common patients have motor speech disorders, articulation problems or are non-verbal children. Many patients with aphasia, apraxia/dyspraxia, dysarthria, pervasive development disorders, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries and autism spectrum disorders have benefitted from PROMPT therapy. An evaluation by a PROMPT-trained speech therapist is the only way to find out if a patient is appropriate for the therapy.
Hanen Programs The Hanen Centre’s family-focused programs for parents are led by Hanen Certified speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who have received special training at a Hanen Workshop. Through the use of activities and group discussions, small groups of parents learn to create and take advantage of everyday opportunities to improve their child’s communication skills. All Hanen Programs® use a combination of group training sessions (where only parents and the SLP are present) and individual consultations with the SLP (in which the child is present). This provides a comprehensive and personalized learning experience for each family participating in the program. For parents whose child is experiencing a communication difficulty, Hanen’s specialized programs can provide them with the tools they need for helping their child reach his or her fullest communication potential. Hanen has developed programs for parents in three areas: Language Delays, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Asperger Syndrome.
It Takes Two to Talk- The Hanen Program® for Children with Language Delays The It Takes Two to Talk Program was specifically designed for parents of children with language delays. In a comfortable small group setting, you’ll learn how you can build your child’s language skills naturally during everyday routines and activities.
More Than Words-The Hanen Program for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Created specifically for parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, the More Than Words® Program provides you with practical strategies for addressing your child’s specific needs and building his communication and social skills during everyday routines and play.
Social Thinking’s three-part process of social thinking
1.Social thinking is our meaning maker. We observe and listen to interpret the perspectives of others.The first step to improving social thinking is to keenly observe the social world that surrounds us. A client of Michelle Garcia Winner, a 43-year-old engineer, found this step particularly valuable. He spent time learning how to observe people to be more aware of the social situations in which he was expected to socially relate to others. He had this to say about the experience: “Observing the social interactions of others is very helpful to me as I formulate how to interact myself. I’ve learned not everyone walks with their head down avoiding eye contact all of the time. I’ve learned when and how to smile. I’ve studied what makes a stranger seem approachable. In short, you have to know the rules of the game in order to play the game.”
2. When seeking to engage or simply share space with others, we use social thinking to adapt our social behaviors (social skills) effectively as a means to meet our social goals. To do this, we must learn strong self-awareness, self-monitoring, and self-control. We must learn how to adapt our physical posture depending on the context, how we use our eyes to better understand others and communicate, and tools for conversational language to relate to others.
3. Social thinking and social skills directly impact how others feel about us. This impacts how we are treated, how we feel about others, and ultimately – how we feel about ourselves! At the end of the day, our social experience is an emotional experience. The purpose of social thinking is to produce social behavior that gives others the emotional experience you intend to give. The Social Thinking Methodology teaches people to be more aware of their emotions and better predict and relate to the emotions of others.
Oral Placement Therapy is a speech therapy which utilizes a combination of: (1) auditory stimulation, (2) visual stimulation and (3) tactile stimulation to the mouth to improve speech clarity. OPT is an important addition to traditional speech treatment methods for clients with placement and movement deficits. It is a tactile-proprioceptive teaching technique which accompanies traditional therapy. Traditional therapy is primarily auditory and visual.Clients with motor and/or sensory impairments benefit from tactile and proprioceptive components because speech is a tactile-proprioceptive act. OPT is used to improve articulator awareness, placement (dissociation, grading, and direction of movement), stability, and muscle memory; all of these are necessary for the development of speech clarity.
The Kaufman Speech to Language Protocol (K-SLP) is a treatment approach for childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), other speech sound disorders, and expressive language challenges.
Full words are often difficult to master for children who struggle to speak. But often there is immediate capability to produce the shell, or an approximation of the words.
The child’s own approximation may be much lower than their true capability. We help children to simplify words at a higher motor-speech level than what they attempt, by assisting them to produce best word approximations toward target vocabulary to be moved into functional expressive language. We then refine each word toward perfection as we continue our therapy efforts. This is performed through using cues, fading cues, using powerful and strategic reinforcement (motor learning principles), errorless teaching (cueing before failure), gaining many responses within a session, and mixing in varying tasks to avoid over generalization. The K-SLP has evolved over the years, following the most current research in CAS, motor learning principles, neurological development, applied behavior analysis, acquired apraxia of speech, and in sensory integration and praxis skills.
The K-SLP focuses upon the child’s motor-speech skills, shaping the consonants, vowels and syllable shapes/ gestures from what they are capable of producing toward higher levels of motor-speech coordination, giving them a functional avenue by which to become an effective vocal communicator.
Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing is a treatment approach for Childhood Apraxia of Speech, as well as other motor speech disorders. Using auditory, visual, and tactile cueing, the method incorporates principles of motor learning into speech practice and feedback and uses a specific hierarchy of temporal delay between stimulus and response (i.e., simultaneous production, immediate repetition, repetition after delay, etc.). The temporal relationship used with children is constantly changed, trial by trial, depending on the child's accuracy, in order to shape the movement, facilitate motor learning, and develop more automaticity.

Jack The Ripper - A Musical Play
Tomorrow I will be on stage playing an old pervy tramp. Performing Arts Winchester is presenting Jack The Ripper on this Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the University of Winchester.
It will be my second production with PAW this year.
At the beginning of the year I was playing a part in The Wonderful World of Dissocia, which was a massive success here in Winchester.
This time I'm stepping up in dancing and singing. It will be my first proper musical performance, as WWoD was mainly acting only.
I never knew that dancing, singing and acting could be so hard. I thought it would be a challenge, but I was not prepared for it at all.
Now, as the dress- run went well I'm quite confident that the next days are going to be epic!
If you are living in or around Winchester, please don't miss out on this wonderful, gruesome, hilarious and thrilling musical experience. Tickets for each day are still available online and on the door.
Remember "Jack the Ripper is going to get you, if you don't watch out!"

Americans will hit the roads — and airports — this Fourth of July weekend in greater numbers, with industry experts saying it will be the most traveled weekend of a summer that is shaping up to be the busiest in years.
The increase in travel over the holiday weekend is due to several factors, including low airfare deals, said Patrick Fragale, chief content officer of travel booking website CheapOair, which has seen a 30 percent rise in domestic air bookings for July 4. Prices for nine of the firm's top 10 July 4 destinations in the United States saw either no change or drops of up to 23 percent in airfares compared to the same period last year.
Expedia is tracking a 10 percent year-over-year rise in July 4 domestic air bookings, with New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C., its top destinations.
This year is expected to see the third consecutive summer of rising travel spending. Overall, some 72 million Americans, or 41 percent of the population, plan to get away for the weekend, while a whopping 75 percent will travel at some point this summer, according to the American Express Spending and Savings Tracker report. In 2013 and 2012, it was respectively 31 percent and 30 percent for the holiday weekend and 69 percent and 59 percent for the past two summers.
The U.S. Travel Association, a nonprofit industry advocacy group, forecasts day trips will grow 1.7 percent through the end of August. "Even better, we expect the number of overnight trips to grow more than twice as fast as day trips," said David Huether, senior vice president of research. "Longer trip durations means higher spending by travelers, which is good news for businesses, tax revenues and job creation."
Priceline.com travel editor Brian Ek told CNBC the online discount travel emporium is "expecting a substantial amount of travel" for July 4.
Independence Day also beats out the traditional starts and finishes to summer, with 41 percent of the U.S. residents vacationing for July 4 this year topping the 29 percent who traveled for Memorial Day, and the 28 percent who plan to travel for Labor Day, according to the AmEx report.
Rising prices aren't deterring Independence Day vacationers, either. AmEx found that Americans expect to spend an average of 9 percent more on July 4 travel but ever more of them — 91 percent today, compared with 88 percent a year ago — are looking for ways to cut costs. For example, nearly a third will choose accommodations with kitchen facilities, about a quarter will travel outside peak periods, just over a third will shorten their trips and 44 percent, versus 39 percent last year, will drive rather than fly.
Pricey gas? No problem
Gasoline prices during the holiday weekend are forecast to reach their highest level in six decades, said Michael Green, spokesman for the American Automobile Association. (On June 25, AAA's national gas-price average was $3.68 for regular unleaded and $4.03 for premium per gallon, versus $3.57 and $3.91, respectively, one year ago.)
"This is very frustrating for the very many people driving on summer road trips," Green said. However, on any holiday weekend, up to 90 percent of traveling Americans are going by car, and "we generally do not find that people cancel their trips due to high gas prices," Green added.
Where have Fourth of July revelers already booked? And where can would-be Yankee Doodles still find the best last-minute deals? It depends on whom you ask — although, unsurprisingly, U.S. destinations are most popular overall.
Cross-referencing its airfare bookings and hotel-rate data, CheapOair found that Atlanta and Denver, as well as Fort Lauderdale and Orlando in Florida, offer the most affordable domestic July 4 escapes this year. Orlando, for example, boasts an average nightly hotel rate of $85.74 and an average round-trip airfare of $332.60; that airfare is 3 percent lower than one year ago, it said.
Hotwire found these destinations are the most popular: Chicago, with an average nightly hotel rate of $92; Washington, D.C.($90); New York ($208); Dallas-Fort Worth ($63); and Los Angeles ($103), followed by Orlando ($55), Atlanta ($66), Las Vegas ($75); Toronto, Ontario ($96); and San Diego ($89). Expedia customers are opting for — in descending order — New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, San Francisco, Orlando, Denver, Boston and Seattle.
July 4th in foreign parts
Priceline.com reports Las Vegas as its top July 4 booking choice, although it notes Aspen, Colorado, is the best buy for the long weekend, with an average nightly hotel rate of $152, down 27 percent from 2013.
Despite the patriotic nature of the holiday, many Americans are opting to spend it abroad — at least according to CheapOair's Fragale, who noted the site has booked 70 percent more international travel for July 4 this year. "Many of the international destinations on [our] list are only a few hours away from major airport hubs in the U.S., so travelers are taking advantage of the low prices and exploring new destinations outside the country," he added. American Express Travel found that, this year, 30 percent of Americans will cross an international border at some point during the holiday.
Topping CheapOair's list of foreign, overseas or long-haul July 4 hotspots is Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with an average round-trip fare of $497.74, followed by St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, at $416.64 roundtrip; Reykjavik, Iceland ($513); Caribbean island St. Maarten ($324.74); and Mexico City ($411.09). The average international airfare for July 4 to 6 is $578.42, according to the website.
Travelocity says that with overseas hotel rates dipping 3 percent, to an average $211 a night, and airfares rising by 3 percent, compared to 2013, its top foreign or overseas destinations this July 4 are London; the Dominican Republic; Paris; Vancouver, British Columbia; and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Priceline.com officials found that international airfares are actually up 7 percent for July 4. Thus, former overseas hotspots such as London and Paris are failing to resonate with its customers this year. "The fact that the holiday falls on a Friday could have something to do with it — travelers are likely planning for a long weekend trip that isn't too far from home," Priceline.com's Ek told CNBC. "It looks like travelers are taking Independence Day to heart and staying domestic for the annual commemoration."
"A great day to fly to your destination is actually July 4 itself. If you fly July 4 and return July 8, that combination promises to yield the best deals."
Travelers still looking to get away for the holiday have options. The U.S. Travel Association, for example, said its DailyGetaways.com website is posting remaining July 4 inventory that didn't sell during its five-week promotion, which ended June 20, through the holiday itself. Other offers at the site feature savings of up to 50 percent from what the organization calls "13 top travel brands."
"There are great offers still available," said Huether. "From hotel points and stays, to theme park tickets and attraction passes — there are lots of opportunities to save on travel this summer."
At Expedia, senior director of marketing Sarah Gavin suggested booking flights when you'd least expect to in order to save lots of money. "A great day to fly to your destination is actually July 4 itself," she noted. "If you fly July 4 and return July 8, that combination promises to yield the best deals."
Travelocity recommends traveling to destinations with average nightly hotel rates below $150, such as Las Vegas ($105); Albuquerque, New Mexico ($112); Colorado Springs, Colorado ($116); Memphis, Tennessee ($126); and Dallas-Fort Worth ($126). Priceline.com's "Top 10 Best July 4th Bargains" list includes Aspen, at $152 a night (down 27 percent from one year ago); Rome, Italy ($154, down 18 percent); Barcelona, Spain ($143, down 16 percent); Williamsburg, Virginia ($97, down 13 percent); and Phoenix ($85, down 12 percent).
"Many of those destinations aren't your typical go-to places for BBQ loving and fireworks dazzling," said Ek. "For them to compete with the lights of Las Vegas, New Orleans' fireworks on the river or the extraordinary pyrotechnic show in New York City, they'll have to reduce pricing, [so] better rates may tempt travelers to make a trip outside of the quintessential July 4th destinations."

- Actual Production History (APH) – Annuals
- Barley, Corn, Cotton, Grain Sorghum, Oats, Peanuts, Potatoes, Soybeans, Tomatoes, Wheat
- Coverage for low yields, late planting, replanting costs, and prevented planting
- Growers Yield Certification (GYC) – Perennials
- Apples, Peaches — Optional coverage for apple production and grade loss due to hail, wind, or fall freeze
- Dollar Amount of Insurance (DO)
- Clams (AQDOL), Nursery (Field and Container Grown)
- Nursery Peak Season Endorsement — Covers increased inventory value during specified period (holidays and seasonal sales) without a full-year premium
- Burley, Fire-Cured, and Flue-Cured
More Information on MPCI
The yield guarantee is the historical actual production history (APH) yield times the level of coverage, times the insured acreage, times the insured's share. The APH yield is determined from producer production records for a minimum of four, up to ten, consecutive crop years. For producers who provide less than four years of actual yields, variable Transitional "T" Yields are used to complete the four-year database. However, the approved APH yield for producers who elect not to supply records is limited to 65% of the applicable "T" Yield for the first year the producer is insured.
Production To Count
Production to count is all harvested and appraised production for the unit. Appraised production includes, but is not limited to, production lost to uninsured causes, and mature unharvested production (may be adjusted for quality deficiencies and excess moisture).
A unit is defined as that acreage of the insured crop in the county which is taken into consideration when determining the guarantee, premium, and the amount of any indemnity (loss payment) for that acreage. The basic insurance unit is all insurable acreage of the insured crop in the county on the date coverage begins for the crop year in which the producer has a 100% share or which is owned by one entity and operated by another specific entity on a share basis. Basic units may be further divided into optional units. Optional units are determined by section, section equivalents, FSA Farm Serial Number, noncontiguous land (for certain perennial crops), and irrigated and non-irrigated practices. When the policy allows, optional units may be established, provided the crop is planted in a manner resulting in a clear and discernible break in the planting pattern at the boundaries of each optional unit, and the producer keeps separate identifiable records of planted acreage and harvested production for each optional unit.
MPCI is a continuous policy and will remain in effect for each crop year following the acceptance of the original application. Producers may cancel the policy, a crop, a county, or a specific crop in a specific county, after the first effective crop year, by providing written notice to the insurance provider on or before the cancellation date shown in the applicable crop provisions. Producers must request policy changes from their insurance provider on or before the sales closing date for a change of price election or coverage level. In addition, requests to increase the maximum eligible prevented planting acreage above the limitations contained in the crop policy must be made by the sales closing date for the applicable crop. Contract changes involving a successor-in-interest application and corrections of a producer's name, address, identification number, administrator, etc. may be made at any time.
Reporting of Acreage and Crop Damage
Each crop year the producer is required to submit an acreage report by unit for each insured crop. The acreage report must be signed and submitted by the producer on or before the acreage reporting date contained in the Special Provisions for the county for the insured crop. In the event of crop damage, producers should immediately notify their insurance provider of the damage.
Crops covered by MPCI are almonds, apples, beans (canning and processing), canola, citrus, citrus trees, corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, upland cotton, extra long staple cotton, cranberries, dry beans, figs, Florida fruit trees, millet, nursery, peaches, peanuts, pears, peas, peppers, plums, popcorn, potatoes, prunes, raisins, rice, safflower, wheat, barley, oats, rye, flax, stone fruit, sugar beets, sugarcane, sunflower seeds, sweet corn (canning and freezing, and fresh market), tobacco, tomatoes (canning and processing), tomatoes (fresh market), and walnuts.
MPCI benefits include cash-flow protection, good loan collateral, added confidence when developing crop marketing plans, stability for long-term business plans, and family security. The government shares in the premium costs.

Can you hear the sound of your heart beating? Sometimes the silence drags you deep down to unconsciousness, where you are actually acting sane and honest and real. Just like the wind blows you drift high up in a sky you don’t know exist. A humble emptiness, a sleek hole that you can’t help but to try getting in. Then your mind starts hovering around, where you wonder, “Do I still have a place where I belong on this mother earth?”. One piece of mind you actually can’t help but to continue co-exist.
Tell me where I’m wrong, tell me when I should stop, stop musing on the illogical instruments of life.

Stream Patricia’s Upcoming ‘Side Piece’ EP for Spectral Sound
Complete with a remix from Ghostly mainstay Tadd Mullinix (under his JTC moniker), Brooklyn producer […]
Described by the label as a record “built from cinderblock kick drums, soot-covered modular synths, [and] hissy tape recordings,” Patricia’s Side Piece EP finds the artist crafting three cavernous techno excursions. Appearing not too far off from the opaque productions housed on Patricia’s Body Issue outing for Opal Tapes last year, EP cuts “Drip Dawn” and “Hulderhusan” take shape as muffled hardware workouts, while “Foie Gras” adds a touch of swing and hints of acid to the proceedings. For his part, Mullinix brightens up the record’s lead track, adding a few choice melodic layers to “Drip Dawn” on his so-called “I-94 lick” remix.
Officially out via Spectral Sound on August 25, Patricia’s Side Piece EP is streaming in full below.

* They are always present in the soil to a certain degree and probably did not come in from the seed. If you worked some organic material into the soil, the fungus may just be breaking it down.
* I know of no good control except to be certain to water deeply and infrequently, giving the soil a chance to dry out between waterings.
* The fungus requires water to survive and thrive and will become less of a problem if the soil is given a chance to dry out between waterings.

It’s coming close to the weekend and according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s statistics that means one thing. Motorcycle accidents willlikely be on the rise. Each year, the state’s best number crunchers compile details about such accidents and compare them over time. It’s how they determined that weekends, typically between 1 p.m. and 4 a.m., tend to be prime accident time for bikers.
Personal Injury Lawyer Shares Why So Many End Up Injured
Speeding, drinking, drugging, distraction, road conditions, mechanical failure and questionable skills all play roles in Wisconsin’s motorcycle accident rates. And failure to wear the proper riding gear clearly impacts bikers’ health too. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration routinely conducts studies on motorcycle injures and their related costs as does the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. So collectively, they’ve found that trauma to riders’ heads and lower-extremities tend to be most common.
Personal Injury Lawyers Review Costs Associated with Motorcycle Accidents
They also tend to be among the most costly, life-altering and fatal injuries. Let’s run through the head trauma numbers to start. Research America puts the lifetime financial burden to each, traumatically injured person in excess of $80,000. That figure includes immediate acute care and any long-term assistance needed to help victims live as fully as possible. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, on the other hand, puts lower-extremity injury costs per person at $55,000 or more. So just imagine if a motorcyclist injured his or her head as well as the lower-extremities. Such an accident could create bills well over $130,000 and chances are the insurance providers associated with the incident wouldn’t cover it all.
So Who Covers the Astronomical Costs of Motorcycle Accidents?
Who would cover the extra costs? That’s a question for personal injury lawyers familiar with Wisconsin’s motorcycle and insurance laws. To learn more about who may be liable to pay healthcare costs in any given motorcycle accident in the state, please contact us at the O’Dea Law Firm now.

The Ministry of Public Works signed a $640 million (US$3.2 million) contract with Rail India Technical and Economic Service Limited (RITES) Ltd for consultancy services for the construction of the Ogle to Haags Bosch, Eccles Road network.
The $21.2 billion (US$106.4 million) contract for the 7.8 kilometers, four -lane highway road was signed between the Government of Guyana and Indian company – Ashoka Buildcon Limited on June 24.
Speaking at the signing ceremony at the Ministry’s Kingston, Georgetown office on Wednesday, Minister of Public Works, Bishop Juan Edghill noted that the signing will see the commencement of works on the East Coast- East Bank Road project.
He said the Indian supervisory firm will oversee the removal of utilities along the corridor. All the necessary engagements were held and the ministry is awaiting the firm to ensure works are done in keeping with the project’s design.
“I would hope that would be something that is swift…once we get those utilities removed the contractor can engage in actual physical works,” he said
He further noted that, “I have had the privilege as well as engaging Ashoka Buildcon Limited since the signing last Friday, and they are actively engaged in the mobilisation of equipment, and additional personnel to Guyana.”
Minister Edghill also spoke of the bilateral relations between Guyana and India, noting that the two countries have been collaborating within the confines of the laws of both states. He therefore, dispelled the notion that there is something ‘unusual’ ongoing.
The project was financed by the Indian Exim Bank. As part of the agreement, Minister Edghill clarified that the civil works for the project was confined to Indian companies, while the supervisory aspect was open to all.
Minister within the Ministry, Deodat Indar, M.P said the contract has a duration of 34 months. It also has a period for defects liability subsequent to the construction of the highway.
He noted that the government is pleased to collaborate with an international firm, which has worked on many large projects worldwide. He said the firm has indicated an interest in setting up a local office in Guyana, which he said, is backed by confidence in Guyana’s economy.
Indian High Commissioner to Guyana, H.E. Dr. K.J. Srinivasa also noted that a number of Indian companies have signalled interest in investing in Guyana, and working with the people and the government for future development.
Apart from RITES, Ashoka, the contracting company for the civil works have also related their interest in setting up a local office here.
The four-lane thoroughfare will be built from the intersection of the Ogle Airstrip Road and the Rupert Craig Highway, East Coast Demerara towards Haags Bosch, Eccles, East Bank Demerara. Each lane will be 3.6 meters wide, with a median, sidewalks and supporting structures. There will also be a connector to the Eccles access road.

Trump "grateful" for Supreme Court travel ban decision
The Supreme Court decided Monday to allow President Trump's 90-day travel ban to go into effect for some travelers, overturning the actions of lower federal courts that blocked it.
- What the ruling means: Unlike in the original travel ban, travelers with valid green cards and visas will be allowed to enter the U.S., but all refugees from the 6 countries listed — Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — will be banned.
- Trump's response, on Twitter: "Very grateful for the 9-O decision from the U. S. Supreme Court. We must keep America SAFE!"
- Timing: The justices also agreed to review arguments in the case in October, so today's decision could be reversed. In the meantime, Trump stated in a memorandum last week the the ban will go into effect within 72 hours of being cleared by the court.

Ethereum's (ETH) price has retreated sharply from its all-time high following the recent cryptocurrency crash. Many investors wonder whether the pullback provides an opportunity to buy the dip. With that, investors want to know Ethereum’s 2025 price prediction.
Ethereum is also called Ether and it ranks as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market value behind Bitcoin. It’s the cryptocurrency of the Ethereum blockchain, which hosts a diverse range of crypto projects. The blockchain is particularly popular with DeFi apps.
Ethereum's all-time high
Ethereum reached an all-time high above $4,360 on May 12. It hit that peak around the same time Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticized Bitcoin’s high energy use. He announced that the electric car company won’t accept Bitcoin as payment. Ethereum is Bitcoin’s biggest rival. Sometimes, investors see Bitcoin’s woes as an opportunity.
However, Ethereum has pulled back more than 30 percent from its all-time high. The decline has come amid crypto tax concerns. The U.S. Treasury seeks to require that cryptocurrency transactions above $10,000 are reported to the IRS. China’s intensifying crypto crackdown with bans on trading and mining curbs has also weighed on investor sentiments and dragged down names like Ethereum.
Ethereum is expected to go up.
At the current price of $2,870, Ethereum has dropped about 35 percent from its all-time high. However, the crypto will likely rebound to its recent peak and even go higher.
The ongoing Ethereum blockchain upgrade is a major reason to be bullish on the crypto. The blockchain is shifting from the current PoW (proof-of-work) model to the PoS (proof-of-stake) mechanism. That will bring huge changes and make an Ether investment more attractive to big investors.
For example, the shift will cut the blockchain’s electricity consumption by 99 percent and reduce its carbon emissions. That would make it a more attractive choice than Bitcoin to big funds that consider the environmental impact when selecting investments. Bitcoin uses the energy-intensive PoW concept.
Also, the upgrade will increase Ethereum’s scale and reduce the cost of transactions on the blockchain. With greater scale, the blockchain will accommodate more apps, which would increase the demand for the Ether token.
By cutting the transaction cost, the blockchain would close a loophole that rivals have recently sought to explain in the competition to host DeFi apps. For example, Binance promotes its Binance Smart Chain platform as offering cost-advantage compared to Ethereum.
Ethereum (ETH) 2025 price prediction
The interest in Ether’s price prediction has increased after a leaked Goldman Sachs memo revealed a high chance of the crypto overtaking Bitcoin as a store of value. Where will Ethereum be in 2025?
According to WalletInvestor, Ether will reach $3,700 in a year and hit $9,980 in five years, which implies a 250 percent upside potential over the current price. Long Forecast sees Ether setting a new all-time high above $4,800 in September 2021, which suggests a 74 percent upside. It predicts that the crypto will continue rising and close 2021 above $7,530. It sees the altcoin crossing $13,000 between 2022 and 2025.
Digital Coin Price's Ethereum price prediction points to the crypto closing 2021 at $4,500 and crossing $5,600 in 2022. Although it forecasts the altcoin going up and down multiple times over the next several years in response to market forces, it sees the crypto generally moving north. Therefore, Digital Coin Price sees Ether hitting $9,800 in 2025.
Can Ethereum reach $100,000?
Ethereum has had a remarkable performance. The altcoin reaching $100,000 would make many investors millionaires. However, it has other near-term milestones to reach before getting to the ambitious $100,000 target price.
Many investors eye Ethereum reaching $5,000 and then cruising to $10,000. Some investors expect that to happen as soon as 2021. Getting to $100,000 is possible but it will take time.
At the current price, the altcoin will need to gain 3,500 percent to reach $100,000. If Ethereum maintains a monthly growth of 10 percent from now on, it would need three years to get there, which points to it hitting the ambitious target price around 2024.
Is Ethereum (ETH) better than Bitcoin (BTC)?
As an investment, Ethereum has worked better for investors than Bitcoin in recent times. Even after pulling back sharply from its all-time high, ETH still boasts returns of more than 1,300 percent over the past year compared to 360 percent for BTC.
A leaked Goldman Sachs document shows analysts at the bank think that Ethereum is on its way to dethroning Bitcoin as the dominant crypto store of value. The analyst cited the increasing use of Ether in transactions on the Ethereum blockchain as giving the crypto a major value boost. For example, Goldman Sachs points out that Ether is the cryptocurrency of choice for people purchasing NFTs. As NFT trades increase, the demand for Ether will also increase.
Best way to buy Ethereum
ofEthereum is available on all of the major crypto exchanges. The altcoin is also offered by brokers like eToro, Robinhood, and PayPal’s Venmo. If you have capital in the U.S. dollar, the best places to buy Ether are Coinbase, Binance, and Kraken. If you would like to make your trade through a broker instead than an exchange, then Robinhood, Venmo, and eToro will all work for you.

Rental real estate platform Zumper has released an in-app messaging experience that connects renters directly with leasing partners. This industry-first feature, available only on Zumper, is intended to solve one of the industry’s biggest problems: lack of responsiveness. By introducing the ability to send and receive messages directly from the app, Zumper has shown to improve communication response rates by 30%.
In the current rental market, leasing partners face a number of obstacles that make it challenging to respond to rental inquiries: the overwhelming quantity of inbound requests from multiple platforms, the inability to easily screen and vet prospective renters and the lack of effective tools to mitigate these challenges. As a result, renter correspondence frequently falls through the cracks, causing frustration and inefficiency on both sides.
“A lack of response is the single biggest and most consistent concern that we hear from renters. Truthfully, the rental market is plagued with communication problems,” said Zumper Chief Experience Officer, Shalin Amin. “Unanswered emails, lost applications, and ghosting, has created an endless cycle of disappointment for both renters and leasing partners alike. And yet no one in the industry has created a solution that adequately addresses these issues.
“At Zumper, we’re on a mission to remove the friction from the rental experience. Our messaging feature was built from the ground up with the sole purpose of building a responsive rental marketplace that finally solves the communication challenge, from the initial point of contact, through submitting an application.”
The messaging experience has a chat-like interface, enabling renters to store information and organize all rental conversations in one place and share application materials and rental documents. The feature was intentionally designed to help renters manage the rental process, using alerts to prompt renters when it’s time to submit important information and documentation, such as credit scores. In addition, Zumper’s secure platform provides a safe place for the exchange of such sensitive material, eliminating the risk factors associated with sharing it elsewhere.

The people — over 100,000 people, that is – have spoken, and they want it to be legal again to unlock cellphones in the United States. A "We the People" petition on the White House website calling on government to make it legal to unlock phones again has passed the 100,000 -signature threshold, requiring the White House to respond.
Unlocking a phone, which requires a software alteration, allows the phone to work on other carriers if you put in a new SIM card or want to take the phone to another carrier for service. But in October 2012 the U.S. Copyright Office and Library of Congress decided to remove phone unlocking as an exemption under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). On Jan. 26, it went into effect, making it illegal to unlock a phone.

FOXBORO -- Jets coach Rex Ryan scoffed at the criticism of Bill Belichick regarding the fact that the Patriots had Rob Gronkowski on the field in the waning moments of Sunday’s 59-24 win over the Colts.
The tight end reportedly suffered a broken arm while blocking on an extra-point attempt and is expected be on the shelf 4-8 weeks. As a result, Belichick has come under fire for his decision to have such a valuable position player on the field when the game was fundamentally out of reach. But on a conference call with the New England media on Tuesday afternoon, Ryan called the criticism “absolutely ridiculous.”
“It was on an extra point -- he’s probably done it a zillion times. He’s probably done it a hundred times this year for the simple fact of how many points they score. But you never see that,” Ryan said. “Every single team in the league -- we have D’Brickashaw Ferguson there. We have whoever the player is. You don’t play the game that way. It’s just an unfortunate thing. You talk about a freak deal what happened. But unfortunately, that’s part of the game. Injuries do happen. We lost [wide receiver Santonio] Holmes and [cornerback Darrelle] Revis to noncontact injuries. It’s just one of those things. It’s just unfortunate, obviously.”
Ryan said the Patriots are “multiple with their personnel groupings,” so with Gronkowski on the sidelines, he expects a variety of different possibilities at tight end Thursday night.
“It’s an extremely talented team anyway,” he said of New England. “There’s five tight ends on the roster -- you don’t know if they’re going to plug somebody else in [or] what they’re going to do there. They’re very multiple with their personnel groupings anyway, so we basically have to be ready for anything, But clearly, Gronkowski is one of the premiere players in this league. I hate the fact that he’s hurt, but if he’s going to miss a game, I’m not upset that he’s missing our game.”
Ryan noted that the Jets have suffered their share of injuries this season, having lost Holmes and Revis to noncontact injuries earlier in the year.
“There’s a lot of talent on that roster and they can do a lot of different things. They’re very creative. It’s definitely a challenge,” Ryan said. “It’s interesting. ... When you lose a great player like that with Gronkowski, clearly it’s something you have to deal with as a coach. I wonder how New England felt without Holmes and Revis.
“I don’t feel sorry for [the Patriots] -- let’s put it that way.”

Millions of middle-income earners will be hit by a new stealth tax hidden in the Government's pension reforms which will be unveiled tomorrow.
Under the changes, people earning more than £18,000 a year will see a key element of their state pension provision - the State Second Pension - almost halved.
But there will be no reduction in their National Insurance contributions to reflect the sharp reduction in their weekly pension when they retire - leaving them paying thousands of pounds a year to the taxman for a benefit they will no longer receive.
The Conservatives last night accused ministers of trying to slip through another stealth tax on the middle classes.
Financial experts, meanwhile, warned the changes would leave millions of people worse off in retirement.
The controversy centres on reform of the State Second Pension proposed by Lord Turner, the Government's chief pension adviser, which is expected to form a central part of Labour's White Paper on pensions tomorrow.
There are currently 20.7 million employees paying into the State Second Pension - which used to be known as SERPS - through their National Insurance contributions. It is paid on top of the basic state pension and is designed to bolster people's income in old age.
Under the current system, the amount a person gets from the State Second Pension is based on their earnings. People with a full National Insurance contribution record will get at least £60 a week and the amount rises to a maximum of £110 a week for anyone who pays top rate tax.
Under the Lord Turner blueprint, which has been accepted by ministers, the State Second Pension would be turned into a flat-rate payment by 2033 worth just £60 a week in today's prices - almost half the amount top-rate taxpayers currently get.
However, there would be no reduction in their National Insurance contributions, even though they would end up losing up to £50 a week, £2,600 a year, in payments. The Conservatives said the changes meant that by 2033 someone who currently earns £35,000 a year would end up paying £2,119 a year in National Insurance contributions for a pension benefit they would no longer receive.
Even someone who is currently paid just £18,000 a year would be hit. By 2033, they would be paying £468 in National Insurance contributions for pension benefits they had lost. The Tory figures are based on assuming an employee's contribution to their State Second Pension is equivalent to 5.3 per cent of their salary. This is the value of the rebate an employee would receive from the taxman if they decided to opt out of the State Second Pension.
Philip Hammond, the Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, said: "This amounts to another stealth tax on middle income earners. Even someone on £18,000 will feel the bite of this stealth tax.
"At present, nearly half of employee NI contributions go towards an earnings-related second pension. Under the Government's proposals, that contribution will become a straight tax on income above about £18,000 a year."
The changes have also been greeted with alarm by financial experts.
Steven Cameron, the head of business regulation at Aegon, a leading financial services firm, said: "S2P is a little understood but valuable component of today's pension system. If it is reduced in value, individuals will be worse off in retirement unless they save more into other forms of pension.
"Without compulsion, not all will do so. We hope the White Paper leaves the door open for a full public debate on the correct mix of state and private sector pensions, including the future role of S2P."
Whitehall insiders stressed that the changes in the Second State Pension were a key element of Lord Turner's crusade to simplify one of the most complex pension systems in the world.
They added that Lord Turner has repeatedly argued that his pensions reforms need to be introduced as a single package and warned about the dangers of "cherry-picking" particular proposals.

Turn the console off at the back switch for a few minutes. Then switch
it on from the back, then hold the Power button until you hear a second

I had the same problem, so I called customer service and had me do this:
1) with the USB cable plugged into the controller, power down the ps3 and turn the on/off switch in the back to "off".
2) hold your thumb down on the front button (where you normally can turn it on) while turning the switch on the back to "on" again. keep your thumb or finger on the front switch.
3) You will hear the normal "beep" that you usually hear when the PS3 boots up, but after a few seconds later, you will hear a secondary beep. Remove your thumb or finger after this second beep and the PS3 will reset itself after a few seconds. I have a projector connected to it, so I had to set the display screen back to HDMI afterwards, but when I disconnected the USB cable the controller worked wirelessly again. The customer service rep said that this allowed the controller to pair with the PS3 again. Note: You probably do not have to have the controller plugged into the USB cable at all while doing this. I just happened to have it plugged in. Hope this helps.
Check the light on the power supply and if its orange that means that the console is on stand by mode, The light on the Power brick should be green when the console turns on. if the light turns red that means that the power supply needs to be replaced. call xbox support and check the warranty status of your 360
If the power brick shows a red light, it means that it is not providing sufficient enough power to power the console. It is overheating and simply crashing. You will probably need to purchase or (if under warranty) get a new one.

- Behavior counseling
- Flea and tick prevention needs
- Heartworm screening and prevention
- X-rays to screen for arthritis
- Blood work/urinalysis to identify any possible health concerns

Apple has reported its September quarter earnings and posted record revenue, beating Wall Street’s expectations overall, but missing expectations in categories like services. Apple’s financial results for the fourth quarter revenue of $90.1 billion, which is up 8 per cent year over year and quarterly earnings per diluted share of $1.29, which is up 4 per cent year over year.
Apple’s annual revenue was $394.3 billion, up 8 per cent year over year and annual earnings per diluted share were $6.11, up 9 per cent year over year. The tech giant’s business has proved resilient to date even as the growth of many smartphone makers has slowed down amid global economic challenges.
The revenue from iPhones witnessed a healthy growth of 9.6 per cent on the back of the new iPhone 14 series. However, the $42.63 billion fell short of Wall Street’s $43.21 billion estimates. Revenue from Macs stood at $11.51 billion.
“This quarter’s results reflect Apple’s commitment to our customers, to the pursuit of innovation, and to leaving the world better than we found it,” Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, said in a statement.
“As we head into the holiday season with our most powerful lineup ever, we are leading with our values in every action we take and every decision we make. We are deeply committed to protecting the environment, to securing user privacy, to strengthening accessibility, and to creating products and services that can unlock humanity’s full creative potential.”
Meanwhile, owing to a huge demand for the newly launched iPhone 14 Pro, Apple’s authorised retail stores are reported to be running out of stock for the iPhone model in India. Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State For Electronics and IT has said he has spoken to iPhone maker Apple about the situation and that there has been a surge in demand for the iPhone 14 Pro. He also said that Apple is working on the supply chain constraints.
The MoS IT also mentioned that private sales of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro models are probably “alternate” supply channels.

The inflammation of the bladder is caused due to infection, and it is known as Cystitis and is a bacterial infection that
affects any part of the urine tract. The urine normally contains fluid, salts and waste products, when it has bacteria in,
it causes the infection that makes irritation of the bladder wall, which can lead to stiffening of the bladder and even bleeding.
Bladder infection is a condition that tends to affect women more acutely than men. It is a very painful problem which needs
immediate attention. If detected in the earlier stages itself, it can be prevented averting serious damage to your health
in the long run. This problem generally arises when the bacteria in the rectum enters the urethra due to improper cleaning.
It can also be caused due an infection in the kidneys.
HOME REMEDIES FOR BLADDER INFECTION
# Drink lots of water to flush out the kidneys. Coconut water helps as a diuretic and flushes out the kidneys and bladder
thus easing the symptoms.
# Barley water also helps in cleaning of toxins from the kidneys and bladder. A good diuretic and home remedy.
# Drink 1 glass of cranberry juice a day.
# Drink radish juice to help with the bladder inflammation.
# Drink watermelon juice.
# Steam asparagus and drink the water.
# Drink fresh onion juice.
# To increase urine, eat a lot of parsley.
# To increase urine, eat a uncooked potato with no salt.
# Bedouin med for bladder inflammation: boil 3 onions in 5 cups of water for 20 minutes. Drink 2 cups, 3-4 sips each
# Eat a lot of celery.
# Make barley tea and drink.
# Eat yogurt daily.
# Eat garlic and cabbage daily.
# Eat grapefruits to help with the inflammation
# Boil parsley in water, strain and drink the water.
# Drink 2-3 glasses of pomegranate juice every day.
# Make tea from corn fiber, parsley and rosmery
# Ayurvedic herbs Punarnava and Gokhru decoctions help in relieving symptoms of UTI.
# Mix a mixture of half a spoon of baking soda with half a glass of water and drink it 2-3 times a day.
# Avoid foods that are sour, spicy, junk and hot or pungent as they increase the burning sensation. Avoid alcohol, smoking
and non-veg diet.


Several years ago, we started paying more attention in our lab to what was going on biologically near at hand. This transition would eventually lead us into backyards, then houses, then colons, but it stared with North Carolina State University’s campus.
The campus is at what was once the western edge of the city of Raleigh, a city whose location was chosen by its originators as a function of its nearness to a bar. And yet despite this idiosyncratic origin, Raleigh has proven to be an auspicious ecological locale for a city and a campus, at least from the perspective of those of who enjoy the full diversity of insect life.
Raleigh is at the southern edge of cool temperate forest, the northern edge of the sand plains and the center of the Piedmont. It is a crossroads (which actually, not to digress too much, also explains the location of the bar). As a result, insect-beasts from each of these regions can be found in the city. The precise mix of legged life that forms in Raleigh is unlike that almost anywhere else. But times are changing. Raleigh is becoming ever more urban, hotter and more connected to the rest of southeastern sprawl than ever before
We wonder what effect these changes will have on the six-legged life of which we are so fond, species such as the ants. We wonder too about the effect of the many new species that have arrived in the region, whether because urbanization has created conditions that are more like southwestern deserts than cool forests and hence favor desert-adapted species, or because we have introduced species into the region that are tougher in one way or another than our native ants, species such as fire ants, Argentine ants, Asian needle ants, and more.
Fortunately, one of the great things about being at an institution that values science where people live, a land-grant institution with a commitment to public science, is that people have been keeping an eye on the life around campus for a while; this extends to the ants. In the late 1970s, T.P. Nuhn, then a graduate student, surveyed the campus for ants.
