New luxury furniture store to replace pair of businesses in Los Gatos
Los Gatos is getting a new luxury furniture store later this year, taking the place of two businesses that closed their doors this month.
Sur la Table closed its Los Gatos location at 23 University Ave. on March 2. The Seattle-based luxury kitchen goods store declared bankruptcy in 2020 and closed more than 50 of its stores.
Los Gatos' location survived the pandemic but owners decided to close its doors for good after luxury furniture store Arhaus bought them out of their lease, as well as the Banana Republic next door.
“It was definitely quick. Arhaus wanted to get going on the remodel, and they're going to be taking over all three of those spaces— Banana Republic Men's, Women's and Sur la Table,” said Catherine Somers, executive director of the Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce.
Arhaus is aiming for a grand opening before the end of the year. The Los Gatos store will be its seventh in California.
Los Gatos also lost its Pharmaca store at 54 N. Santa Cruz Ave. last month when the pharmacy chain closed all 22 of its California stores after Walgreens acquired Pharmaca's parent company Medly Health for $19.35 million.
Several other new businesses have opened this year or are planned to open soon in downtown Los Gatos.
Leafy, a plant store, opened at 3 N. Santa Cruz Ave., and Petals Creamery, a specialty ice cream and pastry shop, opened at 5 N. Santa Cruz.
Ethos, a low-waste home goods store, had scheduled a grand opening for this past Friday at 59 N. Santa Cruz. The Los Gatos location is nearly three times the size of the store's first location in Capitola.
The store curates refillable and reusable alternatives for home goods like dish soap, shampoo, toothpaste, cleaning products and more.
In the works is a chefled wine bar called Vinovera at 326 N. Santa Cruz. Chef Michele Bevilacqua said the location will offer wine and small plates in a cozy setting.

are you talking about the damper plate with the springs in it? there is a place in MI that has them for $200. it is Pointe Automatic. 586 776 7300. i have no idea anything about them or the company but i need one and i found them in my hunt for one. i am going to get one from them soon if nobody speaks up with a better place to get one from.
Hi you two,
I don’t know the official nomenclature for the auto trans flex plate, however, I have two 215 cid auto trans flex plates, as well as three auto trans flywheels. They would need some clean-up but both should work fine. Will sell the flex plate or flex plate and flywheel, whatever you need. Priority for first selection would go to a turbo customer of mine first.


How many times have you heard pundits, experts, retail associates and reporters incorrectly refer to Windows Phone 8 as Windows 8 Phone? In the future they may be right…
It may seems a little early to be talking about the ‘9’ timeframe, but I only go that ‘high’ because I think we are waiting for hardware to catch up to a point where the following is possible. We currently have ARM-based phones, with upcoming Baytrail and Haswell processors for tablets.
Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 share the same kernel. They also share somewhat of the same app model, including binary compatibility with Portable Class libraries. Current and upcoming phones have HD resolutions meaning that a 90%+ common WinRT runtime and UI design isn’t that far away – you can see this in leaked changes to Windows 8 Blue with the swiping of the Start tiles to All apps.
With increasing phone power and resolution, it seems inevitable that more of the full windows experience will come to a phone form-factor, especially if it’s dockable!
I’ve predicted Microsoft Surface Mini devices that dock (which appears to be coming true) or wirelessly dock along with future ‘shelltops’. Given enough power (that perhaps dynamically revs up) in the phone, there’s no reason that your phone cannot become your PC working in all of these scenarios:
- As a standalone phone – with optional wireless display projection
- Wirelessly working through a tablet ‘shell’ – this is the only solution until rolled ‘paper’ displays come around.
- Wirelessly working with a ‘shelltop’
- Docking (physically or wirelessly) into desktop monitor(s), keyboard and mouse, etc.
Early devices may have performance somewhere between current Clovertrail and future Baytrail devices and power consumption may be an issue. Where additional computer power is needed, Azure will provide… (SkyEngine anyone?).
Want to ramp up the excitement? Add in glasses with voice. The glasses become the wireless display and control for your phone! See those people walking around with bluetooth headsets on…
It’s going to happen and I think it’s very exciting.

Can you cycle through the Greenwich foot tunnel?
You can walk your bike through the Greenwich and Woolwich foot tunnels but not cycle through the tunnels. You can also take your bike on the Emirates Air Line cable car between Greenwich Peninsula and Silvertown, and on the Woolwich Ferry and Thames Clipper services.
How long does it take to walk through the Greenwich foot tunnel?
Approx 10 mins to walk through.
Is the Greenwich foot tunnel open during lockdown?
Both the south lifts continue in service and the foot tunnels remain open 24/7. Greenwich Foot Tunnel: North lift is closed.
Can I cycle through the Rotherhithe tunnel?
Cyclists are allowed on the road in the tunnel but arsehole motorists try and run you OVER whilst overtaking or just abuse you to get out the way.
How long does it take to walk the Woolwich foot tunnel?
It takes roughly 15 to 20mins to walk from one end of the tunnel to the other – and there is certainly nothing glamourous down there – just a continuous long tunnel covered in old stained tiles with numerous little puddles of water scattered along its walkway.
How deep is the Greenwich foot tunnel?
The Greenwich Foot Tunnel is 1, 217 feet in length, and about 50 feet deep, while the Woolwich Foot Tunnel is 1, 655 feet in length and 69 feet deep.
Why is the Thames river so dirty?
Pollution on the River Thames. The River Thames is the cleanest river in the world that flows through a major city. This is a major feat considering that fifty years ago the river was so polluted that it was declared biologically dead. Sewage was being discharged directly into the Thames.
Are there secret tunnels under London?
London contains many other secret tunnels, including government passages beneath Whitehall, deep-level tube shelters and communications and utility tunnels.
Is Greenwich Safe?
Crime in Greenwich
Whilst living in Central London will mean there is a risk of crime, as with any big city, Greenwich is generally a safe area of London to live.
How much does it cost to use the Woolwich Ferry?
The Woolwich ferry is a free service operating between Woolwich and North Woolwich, linking the north and south circular roads across the River Thames. The two boats used in the service carry pedestrians, cyclists, cars, vans and lorries.
How many steps are in the Greenwich foot tunnel?
Man-made marvels in London – the Greenwich Foot Tunnel
Last time we covered the Monument which is definitely worth the effort required to climb its 311 steps. Agreed, but it was quite a slog.
How many foot tunnels are under the Thames?
Related Articles. There are two foot tunnels linking key parts of London that are north and south of the river – one in Woolwich and one in Greenwich – which are fully pedestrianised, reports MyLondon.
Why is Rotherhithe Tunnel not straight?
When the first Blackwall tunnel was built in 1897 it was designed for horse-drawn carts and carriages. It had to be curved, rather than straight, simply because the horses would bolt if they saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Nowadays horses and carts have been replaced by cars and lorries.
Can I cycle over Tower Bridge?
Tower bridge is fine. The speed limit is 20 and it’s vigorously enforced; there are plenty of other cyclists; the cars are patient with cyclists.
Can you cycle over the Millennium Bridge?
0/10 Millennium Bridge
No cycling allowed whatsoever – get off and push.

The US government has launched a concerted campaign both domestically and internationally to block Huawei from building Next-Generation (5G) wireless networks. These efforts are, however, insufficient to address wider network security concerns. Keeping Huawei hardware out of the US 5G network does not equate to successfully preventing foreign cyber threats. The current administration must, therefore, implement further robust measures to address the much larger issues posed by the 5G rollout.
The U.S., along with other Western nations, has long alleged that Huawei equipment poses risks, especially as tensions between China and the U.S. have risen over the past few years due to national security concerns. A Trump administration May executive order blocks US companies from purchasing telecommunications equipment from sources deemed to be national security threats. One of the results has been an effective ban on Huawei products entering the US market.[i] Critics of Chinese 5G technology argue that Chinese companies are obliged to assist their government under the Chinese National Intelligence Law. Given this concern, one worrisome scenario would be Huawei installing deeply implanted flaws in the 5G network, providing Chinese intelligence services a menu of vulnerabilities to exploit.[ii]
Moreover, the fact that Huawei’s products are cheap and gaining popularity across the globe worries the administration, as it suggests that the U.S. is lagging in the global race to roll out 5G technology.[iii] In 2018, the Trump administration blocked Singapore-based Broadcom’s proposed $105 Bn acquisition of Qualcomm, a US semiconductor and telecommunications equipment company, citing concerns about the deal’s effect on America’s ability to compete with China in 5G technology.[iv] Specifically, the administration invoked national security concerns to block the deal in fear that Broadcom would breakup Qualcomm for short-term financial gain and thereby undermine the US ability to compete with China in semiconductor and 5G technology by stifling Qualcomm’s ability to innovate.[v]
The truth is, however, that regardless of who builds the American 5G network, there will be cybersecurity risks. Hardware, like that offered by Huawei, is but one part of 5G. Focusing exclusively on preventing Chinese hardware from supporting US networks would create a false sense of security that ignores the risks to other parts of the next-generation network, namely the software and applications. Both Russia and North Korea have successfully infiltrated networks in the U.S. without exploiting Chinese hardware. So, to effectively protect the security of its 5G networks, the U.S. should conduct a national risk assessment of 5G infrastructures on a larger scale, assessing if the current security requirements for network providers are sufficient to ensure the security of next-generation networks.
The administration must work with telecommunications companies to develop a secured 5G standard. While current 5G technologies promise faster speeds and greater reliability, security measures are not being adapted to the new 5G standards. A recent study of 5G authentication by scientists from ETH Zurich, the University of Lorraine, and the University of Dundee found that the current standard, developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), an international organization comprised of telecommunication companies, lacks security goals and precision.[vi] According to the research, the Authentication and Key Agreement (AKA), a security protocol used in 5G networks, has vulnerabilities that allow malicious actors to steal data and intercept communications. Such vulnerabilities could be exploited by foreign adversaries to attack critical infrastructures in the U.S. While the administration does not have direct control over 5G standard-setting, it must work with telecommunications companies to test the network and ensure its cybersecurity before rollout.
Another security aspect to consider is the role of 5G in driving innovation in the form of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. From smart-home appliances to self-driving cars, the next-generation network is expected to support billions of new classes of devices and sensors for both public and private use. This development would greatly increase the threat to already-vulnerable IoT devices.[vii] Hackers have shown their ability to compromise IoT devices with massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks back in 2016.[viii] In addition, personal data collected by thousands of IoT devices could be stolen by malicious actors.[ix] All of these risks are set to be exacerbated by 5G, as IoT devices would heavily depend on the speed and accessibility of the next-generation network. The fact that a 5G network will increase internet speed means that it would take less effort for hackers to overwhelm networks due to the exponential rate of traffic directed to targets.[x] The government’s effort to mitigate such threats should center on supply chain management. Congress must pass federal legislation to ensure that security measures that prevent hacking, spying, and other cyber threats are built in from the start.So far, not only has the US government done little to enhance 5G cybersecurity, but the Republican-led Federal Communications Commission (FCC) charged with protecting public and national security in 5G networks described its role in cybersecurity as “extremely limited” and opposed efforts to “unify rules that would apply to an entire industry.”[xi] Similarly, the FCC reversed an Obama-era policy that invites leaders in 5G technologies to help incorporate cybersecurity-enhancing features into the next-generation wireless network.[xii] As the regulatory body responsible for all commercial communications in the U.S., it would be wise for the FCC to take on a larger role in regulating telecommunications. This would lead to more robust and resilient network services as part of the national security requirement and enhance emergency preparedness. To support a strongly authenticated and encrypted network, the administration and FCC must also push for a private sector-led effort to secure 5G. Funding third-party threat modeling and security audits could also ensure the proper installation of cybersecurity measures by telecommunications companies.
The good news is that the Strengthening and Enhancing Cyber-capabilities by Utilizing Risk Exposure (SECURE) Technology Act[xiii] signed into law earlier this year was a step in the right direction. This bipartisan legislation seeks to establish a Federal Acquisition Security Council and to “provide executive agencies with authorities to mitigate supply chain risks in the procurement of information technology.”[xiv] The bill could replace the ineffective practice of blocking individual companies and adopt a more effective approach to establishing a process for managing risks to the networks, including the next-generation 5G wireless network, that serve federal government agencies and support critical U.S. infrastructure.

Mix the cinnamon with the cup of boiling water 8 oz and let it cool a little 15 to 30 minutes. Then add the honey and stir until it dissolves within the cinnamon tea.
Stir the drink and filter it. Take one half 4 oz of the drink before breakfast on an empty stomach and the other half — a few hours after dinner, before going to bed. If you make the drink in the evening — take the first half before going to bed, and put the rest in the fridge.
First thing in the next morning — take it out of the fridge and let it stay at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before drinking it. People who have tried this amazing weight loss drink say that they have lost about 3 kg lbs for 1 week.
I know it sounds too good and easy to be true, but I do believe it really works. I will try it myself in the next couple of weeks, actually as soon as I supply myself with the necessary ingredients — cinnamon and honey. Due to the great interest in this topic and the numerous comments and emails I receive every day about how exactly to prepare and use the drink, I decided to write an update post.
And I also would like to share with you one of the last comments thanks to Michelle , so that anybody can read it. It pretty much sums up everything you need to know about the honey and cinnamon drink:. Just want to let you know I have been doing a lot of research of many sites. They say Not to add the honey while the liquid is hot. This will kill the effects of the honey. Stir well and drink 4 of the 8oz first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and the rest on an empty stomach before bed.
They also recommend pure raw unprocessed or uncooked honey. Again the heating process will kill the honey benefits. If you have success stories and results to share with us, please do that at: Cinnamon — a Miracle in a Half Teaspoon. Benefits of Honey for Fat Loss. Honey and Cinnamon for Lowering Cholesterol. You are welcome to join here!
There will be a lot of sharing and discussions about the original recipe preparation. Everyone is free to share their experience and weight loss results in our closed group. You will be able to post your photos and videos of making the Honey and Cinnamon Drink. Subscribe to my newsletter and get notified when I publish new post, product review or weight loss Freebie.

I will call her this weekend to find out if she has any results. Do I pour it through a coffe filter into a new cup or do I strain it or use a cheesecloth? I started drinking the honey and cinnamon mixture the very same evening, and now two weeks later I feel much better.
I have lost 2 kg already, and I will go on for at least three more weeks to lose another 3 kg. I wish you all the best Ally and I hope it will work for you the way it worked for me. Even walking in the park is an exercise. You can give it a try. At the same time I mix the cinnamon and honey in another cup and stir for about 1 min until it turns into paste. Then I poor the boiling water into the cup with honey and cinnamon paste and stir until the honey dissolves.
Honey and cinnamon drink will help you lose weight naturally and that takes some time, so you must be patient. Hey, thhis honey and cinammon recipe sounds too good to be true. I am going to start trying it tmrw, and will share my results soon….. Is there a difference if i boil the cinnamon and honey in 1 c of water or using the kettle? Is it ok to drink it during the day??
I am using a coffee filter too. Out of curiosity… how does the cinnamon and honey mixture work??? Can ground cinnamon be used instead of powdered? How much can be made at one time? As for the question: Well, I recommend you to start in the evening and make one cup of tea of honey and cinnamon drink at a time.
Drink the first half before you go to bed and the other half in the morning. Follow the same procedure and prepare your drink in the evening again and so on…. Hi Galia, I read about this a while back but just never took seriously but started this morning then i searched the net and saw your site. I will give you my progress report next week. Should the half you leave for the next day be refridgerated or do we just leave it out on the kitchen bench or in the microwave?
I assure you that it will be OK if you just leave it out covered on the kitchen bench or in the microwave for the night. And Today I plan on starting this cinnamon honey, thing. I hope it works. I will repost next week. Hi I have read cinnamon powder and honey on internet.
Today i start to drank it by morning and also before go to bed. May i know whether i can drink one cup with cinnamon and honey by morning and also one cup by night. Please reply as i need to know it. Hi i am interesting abt cinnamon and honey. It can make me weight loss, true? I have problem fat. I see your point: And you hope for faster and better results…. However, I do not recommend you do that since the first day you start. Start with a half cup at a time.
After one week try a full cup of drink for a couple of days. But if you feel anything strange such as stomach aches or tension- stop immediately and go back to only half cup at a time. Cinnamon is an antioxidant that aids fat burning just like the green tea , so it really can help you. Give it a try and come back here to share your experience.
Thank for ur share. I am plan to starting on cinnamon and honey today. May i know if i taking cinnamon and honey with psyllium husk mixture then drink it before breakfast and go to bed. Taking cinnamon and honey with normal meal 3times a day, not overeating more. I hope it works on me. Hi im interested also in using this honey and cinnamon for weight loss. You are taking honey and cinnamon, eating 3 normal meals a day, without overeating and you are asking me if you gonna lose weight, right?
Yes, you can lose weight. Try some extra activity if you can, too. Such as jogging or at least walking more. I have read about honey and cinnamon on the internet and also on this blog.. I already tried using it for almost a month but i did not loss even a single pound i think a gain more.. Hi its been a week that i been drinking honey and cinnamon but nothing has been change in my weight i even reduce a single pounds please help me what to do…i really want to reduce weight!!!
I recommend you to read these 10 tips to lose weight by the end of , and I hope you will find what else you need to lose weight, besides the honey and cinnamon. Is it absolutely necessary to take the cinnamon with the honey? Can I just omit the honey and drink it with water, or add it to my food throughout the day? Will it make any difference? However, the whole idea behind the cinnamon and honey drink is — when you drink it before bed it keeps you from storing fat during the night.
The cinnamon is an antioxidant that is actually burning the fat. Hai this sounds intresting. I have delivery a baby girl september still iam brest feeding. Can i take this cinnoman drink. Can i use it for reducing my weight. Hi, I just wanted to post this link about cinammon.

Revelation Online's Trick Or Treat Event Returns
Trick or Treating for real might not be the best idea right now, but at least we can still do it virtually. For instance, right now, Revelation Online can take part in the game's annual Trick or Treat event and get a bundle of treats -- or tricks.
Every hour of every day between now and November 5, RO players have the opportunity to choose to open one of two doors on the game's event page. Depending on their luck, the player can walk away with something good or something else. But seeing as there are over 460 hours between when this is being written and November 5, that's a lot of chances to get some nice goodies for free.
Of course, if you want guaranteed goodies, My.Games also has Halloween chests ready to buy in the Market.

Why did Hamlet kill himself?
After his mother’s wedding, Hamlet wants nothing more than just to die, but to commit suicide is a sin in the eyes of God.
Thus, by committing suicide he would simply be damning himself to hell, which will also cause pain and suffering..
Is Ophelia pregnant in Hamlet?
But the play seems to suggest strongly that Hamlet has seduced her, and to hint that she is pregnant as well. … The Queen later says of Ophelia (V: 2) “I hop’d thou shouldst have been my Hamlet’s wife.” Ophelia might well have hoped to become Queen when Hamlet ascended the throne, as his uncle Claudius has promised.
How does Horatio die?
At the end of the season 6 finale, Horatio is shot. It appears as though he is dead, but in behind the scenes video, it’s said Horatio’s death was faked so he can go after Ron.
Why did Ophelia go mad?
Ophelia goes mad because her father, Polonius, whom she deeply loved, has been killed by Hamlet. … The fact that this grief drives Ophelia to madness reveals her overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness, and the power that the men in Ophelia’s life wield over her.
Did Hamlet and Ophelia sleep together?
It would have been risky for Shakespeare directly to portray pre-marital sex between aristocratic characters, but Hamlet gives us reasons to suspect that at some point before the beginning of the play, Hamlet and Ophelia have had sex. … However, the best evidence that Hamlet and Ophelia have had sex comes from Ophelia.
Why was Hamlet sent away?
King Claudius decides to send Hamlet to England, fearing danger in Hamlet since he no longer believes Hamlet is merely lovesick. The King agrees to Polonius’ plan to eavesdrop on Hamlet’s conversation with his mother after the play to hopefully learn more from Hamlet. The play Hamlet had added lines to is performed.
What mental illness does hamlet have?
Hamlet’s moods cycle through episodes of depression and mania. This cycling is very common with Bipolar Disorder. The show begins with Hamlet in a depressive state with Claudius commenting that “the clouds still hang on” him (1.2. 66).
Who is to blame for Ophelia’s death?
GertrudeIn the midst of her inner turmoil, her depression worsens as she learns that Hamlet, the man she loves departs to England. When she dies, Gertrude reports her death to Claudius and Laertes. Gertrude, The Queen of Denmark, is responsible for Ophelia’s death.
What has happened to Ophelia?
In Act 4 Scene 7, Queen Gertrude reports that Ophelia had climbed into a willow tree (There is a willow grows aslant the brook), and that the branch had broken and dropped Ophelia into the brook, where she drowned.
Why is Hamlet so cruel to Ophelia?
Hamlet is cruel to Ophelia because he has transferred his anger at Gertrude’s marriage to Claudius onto Ophelia. In fact, Hamlet’s words suggest that he transfers his rage and disgust for his mother onto all women. He says to Ophelia, “God has given you one face and you make yourselves another.
Why does Hamlet end with such bloodshed and death?
Why does the play end with such bloodshed and death? The play ends with bloodshed and death because Shakespeare wanted to add a dramatic effect and underline his point; that death is inevitable. All the characters had some sins on their backs that they did not pay for.
Who kills who in Hamlet?
During the match, Claudius conspires with Laertes to kill Hamlet. They plan that Hamlet will die either on a poisoned rapier or with poisoned wine. The plans go awry when Gertrude unwittingly drinks from the poisoned cup and dies. Then both Laertes and Hamlet are wounded by the poisoned blade, and Laertes dies.
What does Hamlet say when Ophelia dies?
He and Horatio hide as the procession approaches the grave. As Ophelia is laid in the earth, Hamlet realizes it is she who has died. … Laertes leaps into Ophelia’s grave to hold her once again in his arms. Grief-stricken and outraged, Hamlet bursts upon the company, declaring in agonized fury his own love for Ophelia.
Did Hamlet sleep with his mother?
No, Hamlet did not sleep with his mother. However, this hasn’t stopped successive generations of literary scholars from using Freud’s concept of the Oedipus complex to put forward the notion of an incestuous relationship between Hamlet and Gertrude. …

A series of negative events caused shares of Insys Therapeutics (NASDAQ:INSY) to collapse in 2016. The stock price of the biotech, which focuses on products to treat pain, fell by more than two-thirds during the year, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
Here's an overview of the key events that moved shares during 2016.
- Insys started the year on the defensive. In early January, the company felt the need to issue a press release defending its use of patient service centers that helped potential customers gain reimbursement access to Subsys, an under-the-tongue spray of the synthetic opioid fentanyl that is approved to treat cancer pain. This statement was made in response to the criticisms that surfaced in a CNBC report that questioned the company's sales and marketing practices.
- In April, Insys reported preliminary results for the first quarter that came up far short of expectations. The company blamed the revenue shortfall on "heightened publicity surrounding the national opioid epidemic." Shares fell more than 20% in a single day when the news broke.
- In July, investors received some good news when the FDA approved Syndros, a liquid formulation of dronabinol, to treat anorexia associated with weight loss in patients with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy. Dronabinol is better known as THC, the major psychoactive compound in cannabis.
- In August, management stated that a Phase 3 trial of the company's buprenorphine sublingual spray met its primary endpoint in treating postoperative pain after bunion removals.
- In September, the company announced that founder Dr. John Kapoor would be stepping down as president and CEO as soon as a replacement could be found.
- In December, the Justice Department arrested a number of Insys Therapeutics' former employees, including former CEO Michael Babich, "on charges that they led a nationwide conspiracy to bribe medical practitioners to unnecessarily prescribe a fentanyl-based pain medication and defraud healthcare insurers."
Given the dominance of negative events, it is easy to understand why shares collapsed.
Given the growing concerns over the abuse of opioids, providers are likely to be more restrained in their use of Subsys in the future. That leaves Insys' future riding on the success of Syndros and the rest of its pipeline.
While Syndros' market opportunity exceeds nine figures annually, it is unclear if the dark clouds that surround Insys will prevent the drug from reaching its full potential. In addition, Insys' stock is likely to continue to trade erratically based on the headlines of the day. Thus, while the stock is certainly cheap, I personally think that this company is far too risky to touch.

House Democrats are planning to “immediately” investigate the reason President Donald Trump wants American citizens counted on the upcoming 2020 Census.
In March, President Donald Trump’s administration announced they would put the citizenship question back on the census. It has not been included since 1950. For seven decades, all residents living in the United States have been counted on the census but have not been asked whether or not they are American citizens, making it impossible for the federal government to know the size of the citizen population versus the immigrant population.
Now, as Democrats are preparing to be the majority in the House after the midterm elections, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) — who will chair the House Oversight Committee — told Reuters he will investigate why the Trump administration has put the citizenship question back on the 2020 Census.
“There are certain things that mandate that we look at immediately,” Cummings said. “One of them is the census because that’s right around the corner.”

With the new Apple Watch making waves in the technology world, it’s becoming clear that the wearables craze isn’t dying down anytime soon. In fact, wearables are on their way to being more than just a tech trend – they’re set to be one of the next big healthcare trends, too. Already, devices like Fitbit are measuring users’ activity levels to help people stay healthy. But, we have the ability to measure so much more – things like heart rate, blood pressure, and even blood sugar levels can be measured by different types of wearables. And, as even more wearable technologies are developed, the fad has the potential to change how healthcare marketing, and healthcare itself, work.
One of the biggest potential changes that wearables could bring is allowing healthcare organizations to send out highly targeted medical content as part of their healthcare marketing strategy. If a patient’s blood pressure increases, the device could send them an article with simple tips to lower blood pressure. This would be the ultimate content marketing in healthcare – offering the information only when it’s most useful. Not only would content like this be incredibly beneficial for patients, it could also position your healthcare organization as a thought leader in the industry.
Certain types of wearables might also be able to determine whether medical advice is being followed. And, if it isn’t being followed, it might help healthcare providers design treatment plans that can be adapted to the patient’s lifestyle and increase the chances that the patient will follow through with the treatment.
Doctors would also be able to better diagnose patients based on a more comprehensive understanding of their recent symptoms. Instead of relying on hazy memory, a doctor could access accurate data and use it for a diagnosis.
By using data collected from wearables, your healthcare organization could be on the forefront of new and exciting changes in medical marketing. But, there are still challenges that need to be overcome – and they mostly center around the collection and protection of patient data. Before any of this can begin, healthcare organizations need to ensure that their interpretation of the data will be consistent and accurate. And, while surveys found that some patients would be willing to let healthcare professionals see the collected data, not every patient agreed. Not to mention, the patients that opt in would obviously expect a high level of security for their personal data.
Although it may take some time for wearables to reach their potential for use in healthcare and healthcare marketing, the trend seems to be headed in that direction. And, understanding the reasons behind how and why wearables will revolutionize healthcare marketing can give your healthcare organization a head start.

Papers from Second International Workshop on X-ray Damage to Crystalline Biological Samples
J. Synchrotron Rad. (2002). 9, 327–381
Macromolecular crystallographers are now actively investigating radiation damage processes in cryo-cooled (around 100 K) crystals. The aim is to understand them well enough to design minimization and/or mitigation strategies so that intense undulator-produced synchrotron beams can be fully utilized.
The November 2002 issue of the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation contains a collection of eight papers on this topic, with an introduction summarising the current status (Garman and Nave). Among the reported experimental results is evidence, provided by reduced specific structural damage and absorption spectra collected with a microspectrophotometer, that the introduction of a radical scavenger (0.5 M ascorbate co-crystallised with HEWL) can prolong the crystal lifetime in the x-ray beam (Murray and Garman). Physical and chemical processes relevant to the damage process are also discussed (O’Neill, Stevens and Garman).

It seems the Conservatives have shown themselves to be factually untrustworthy. I can’t imagine they thought they’d get away with this. I guess they mustn’t care.
Or perhaps it’s just a classic Trumpian move: the more we’re talking about this concocted social media controversy, the less we’re talking about the real issues at stake. Either way, (more) trust is lost.
Forget leaders debates, prospective Prime Ministers should do a series of tasks without losing cool: switch phone to a different tariff; retrieve ball from grumpy neighbour; submit tax return to HMRC website; take a driving test etc.
In an earlier newsletter they had some pointers on how to improve voting, which, joking aside, might really be worth considering.
16 year olds should get TWO votes as they’ve got to live with the consequences longer.
Blank ballot papers so votes only count if you can remember the name of the candidate.

Johnson & Johnson's ($JNJ) DePuy Synthes arm plans to spend more than $36 million to build up a research-and-development operation in Ireland.
The operation should create 38 research level positions at the company's plant in Ringaskiddy, and will focus on development work across the division, the state's economic development agency IDA Ireland announced Dec. 9.
The expansion reflects a rare bit of good news these days for J&J, which recently forwarded a $2.5 billion-plus proposal to settle 8,000 lawsuits alleging the company sold defective metal hips that harmed legions of patients. J&J is also among the device companies dealing with thousands of lawsuits alleging the sale of vaginal mesh that harmed women and left them disabled.
This, at least, is a straightforward economic development story. Construction will take place at a plant that DePuy has maintained since 1997 and makes various orthopedic products for global sale. IDA Ireland explained that a number of J&J divisions operate facilities in Ireland and already employ 1,900 people.
For the R&D operation, the project will ramp up over five years and is supported by Ireland's Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, via IDA Ireland. It will be dubbed the Operations Technology Development Centre.

text: The fabric of our cities is shaped by millions of small decisions and adaptations, many of which have become integral to our experience. Nowadays taken for granted, some of these elements were revolutionary at the time of their implementation. One such element is the curb cut, the small ramp grading down the sidewalk to connect it to the adjoining street, allowing wheelchair users and people with motor disabilities to easily move onto and off the sidewalk. This seemingly small adaptation has proven to be unexpectedly useful for a wider range of people, including parents with strollers, cyclists, delivery workers, etc. Consequently, it lends its name to a wider phenomenon, the “curb cut effect”, where accommodations and improvements made for a minority end up benefiting a much larger population in expected and unexpected ways.

Telephone fraudsters are being tracked by police in connection with a premium rate rip-off netting thousands of pounds.
Warnings went out today to be on the alert for unsolicited calls to home, work and mobile phones.
A recorded message is played, congratulating the receiver on winning an all-expenses trip to a holiday paradise.
But hapless victims get locked into a premium rate line if they press 9 to hear more details of the prize, as instructed.
Crimefighters at the North East Crimestoppers unit are warning people not to fall into the trap after the scam was highlighted by police in Luton, Bedfordshire.
Gordon Howes, of the Crimestoppers' office in Chester-le-street, said: "The only solution is to hang up before the message prompts you to press 9. It would be even safer to hang up on any unsolicited `free offer' call."
The scam appears to be a variation of another con trick for which police issued previous warnings.
Then calls were made by crooks claiming to be engineers conducting a test on the line and asking people to press 9.
BT and other companies say because the calls are originating from outside the UK, they are relatively powerless to act on them.
Mr Howes warned: "You will be asked to press 9 to hear further details. If you press 9 you will be connected to a premium rate line that costs approximately £20 per minute.
"Even if you disconnect immediately, it will remain connected for a minimum of five minutes, costing around £100.
"The final part of the call involves you being asked to key in your postcode and house number, which could have other serious consequences.
"After a further two minutes, you will receive a message informing you that you are not one of the lucky winners. The total bill will be around £260."


Aquaculture cage and mooring
Upon completion of this case study, you will be able to:
- Duplicate model components
- Model mooring components
- Mirror model components
- Model and specify properties of buoys
- Load bathymetric bottom (terrain)
- Snap nodes to terrain
- Apply the component library
- Execute static analysis
- Execute multiple non-linear dynamic analyses
- Have knowledge about system files
- Assess maximum forces in mooring components from analyses
In this case study, you are to complete a model of an aquaculture facility and conduct a mooring analysis. You will first be introduced to the main components of the facility, then complete the model by adding mooring components and terrain. Through the snap function, the bottom chain is to be lowered to the bottom providing realistic representation of interaction between mooring components and the seabed.
By a static analysis selected parameter, as mooring rope tension and buoyancy, should be checked. Having conducted dynamic analysis, you are to find the maximum force in selected mooring components from these analyses.

Egypt's interim government was obliged to make a series of popular, socially-oriented adjustments in its first budget after the country's revolution. However the reforms made in this direction don't make the 2011-2012 budget a revolutionary one; its social dimension is still very limited and in general doesn’t represent any significant structural changes from the Mubarak era.
The budget's main social decision that was the fixing of a LE700 minimum wage for public employees, set to cost the government LE7.5 billion. Added to the 15 per cent premium on last year's wage decided earlier, and the increase of the number of beneficiaries from social security pensions, allocations for wages look like jumping almost 25 per cent this year to reach LE116.5 billion.
But are these the social measures people were expecting in order to redistribute revenues in Egypt?
For many, the answer is no. Fixing a minimum wage doesn’t mean a lot if it is unaccompanied by a restructuring of wages in the public administration, a measure mentioned by many, including new Minister of Finance Samir Radwan before he came to office. Yet no concrete decision has yet been taken towards this.
Wage structures in public administration have long faced criticism. The Egyptian government invented what is called the 'base salary', which in many cases represents a fraction of what an employee earns. While the gap between base salaries is regulated and there are criteria to fix it, whether accepted or not, issues involving bonuses are left unregulated.
Ashraf Badr Eddin, a former deputy member of the parliament's Planning and Budget Committee, believes that an increase in the minimum wage without wage restructuring may do more harm than good.
“The government could have raised wages without putting additional pressure on the budget, increasing the deficit and possibly inflation, if it was accompanied by a reform of wage structure,” says Badr Eddin, noting that base salaries represent only 20 per cent of the budget's wages allocation.
“Anyhow, how can we talk about social justice without mentioning a maximum wage?” asks Badr Eddin.
Ragui Asaad, professor of planning and public affairs at the University of Minnesota, thinks the fixing of a minimum wage should be accompanied by a rise of salaries for all employees, warning of further complaints of injustice if new employees receive the same wages as more experienced ones.
The new budget also brings changes in taxes, most notably to the income tax law.
Modifications include a rise of the exemption level, from LE9,000 to LE12,000 per year, and the raising of the maximum tax level from 20 to 25 per cent for annual salaries over LE10 million. These changes signal a move towards a more progressive tax law but again are less than what was hoped.
"It is good to raise the exemption level if everyone benefits from it, but still the changes are limiting this exemption level to employees, while other categories will benefit from exemption of only LE5,000,” explains Saeed Abdel Moneem, professor of accounting at Ein Shams University, who calls for more tax-breaks for families, as seen in many other countries.
Ibrahim El-Essawi, an economic expert at the Institute for National Planning, says there should be reform of the tax brackets as most of them are concentrated on the lower end of the income spectrum. The law imposes the maximum tax -- 20 per cent -- on incomes over LE40,000, or around LE3,330 per month.
“With today's prices, this kind of salary doesn’t mean much, especially if the person is in charge of a family,” complains Abdel-Moneem.
Ibrahim Al-Essawi believes the maximum tax should reach 35 or 40 per cent as in other countries.
There is a common perception that higher taxes would be opposed by the government and the business community. In fact, many famous businessmen, including Naguib Sawiris, the main shareholder of Orascon Telecom, and Galal Al-Zorba, head of the Federation of Industries, welcomed the 5 per cent rise in income tax. Others, though, have expressed displeasure. The raised maximum tax would be imposed on companies as well as individuals.
The suspension of the property tax law, introduced in 2008, also raised accusations that the government is not implementing policies in the interests of the poor.
The law was criticised for increasing the tax burden on the middle class, though it exempted owners whose property was worth less than LE500,000. However, the decision met criticism from some economists.
"I can understand that the government increases the exemption level not to put extra pressure on the middle class, but to suspend it at a moment when the state needs revenues is not the right decision. Owners of mansions and villas should pay the tax," says Samer Soliman, assistant professor of political economy at the American University of Cairo.
The cancellation of capital gains tax after it had been announced is also seen as government favouritism towards the rich.
Reforms to subsidies also reflected a step away from social justice, with food subsidies witnessing a sharp cut despite increasing international food prices.
Instead the main increase in subsidies will be for energy, up to LE99 billion versus LE67.68 billion last year. “We can't talk about social justice and income redistribution if we allocate that money to subsidising energy which we all know mainly benefits the rich,” says Ragui Assad.
“We know that the tourism sector accounts for 22 per cent of the country’s diesel consumption. That means that around LE10 billion of the $46 billion reserved for diesel subsidies go to that highly-profitable sector. Why should we subsidises 5-star hotels?” asks Badr-Eddine.
Energy subsidies for some industrial sectors also persist. “Fuel subsidies should be rationalised. Why does the state subsidise owners of Mercedes' or BMWs?. If they fear inflation then we can find a way to compensate the poor or to limit it to small cars," he says.
This increase in spending, without reviewing controversial expenditures, is causing a sharp rise in the deficit which has reached 11 per cent of GDP.
