The Consumer Choice Center analyzed and compiled state laws concerning the delivery of all categories of alcohol.
Each state’s alcohol delivery laws come with some caveats, whether they be permits for home delivery, monopolization of shipping by state liquor stores, and requirements to use wholesalers in three-tier alcohol systems.
We’ve attempted to convey the most accurate information as of February 2020.
While many states do not allow the home delivery of liquor, there are a myriad of delivery applications such as Drizly and Thirstie that help facilitate the home delivery of alcohol from retail locations in states that otherwise outlaw it.
PRESS RELEASE: All States Should Allow Alcohol Delivery
Washington, D.C. – This week, millions of Americans are quarantined at home amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
Because of this, many have resorted to having household items delivered through online delivery platforms. Though residents in select states are able to order alcohol, many people in other states are barred from doing the same.
In the face of coronavirus, these restrictions are being temporarily lifted via emergency declarations issued by state governors, helping support restaurants and small businesses that will now be allowed to deliver alcohol to people’s homes.
Yaël Ossowski, Deputy Director of the Consumer Choice Center (CCC), said “Consumers can order thousands of household products and food from the Internet, but curbs on shipping alcohol remain on the books.
“Instead of emergency laws allowing home delivery of alcohol for a short period of time, states should immediately move to make these laws permanent to increase consumer choice for every American,” said Ossowski.
“At present, 12 states allow for some method of delivery of all alcohol, and 31 states allow wine and beer to be purchased and shipped to consumers’ homes. Utah, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Alabama, Rhode Island, and Deleware currently bar alcohol deliveries to personal residences.
“Allowing for alcohol delivery will help consumers during the Covid-19 outbreak in the short term, but it will also help further boost economic activity and increase competition and options for consumers in the long term,” said Ossowski.
“There are dozens of innovative apps and online services that are beginning to offer alcohol delivery in real-time, but the legal status is shaky. That’s why consumers need clarity and need states to allow them to order alcohol to their home like any other product,” said Ossowski.

Non-profit organizations that provide valuable services to the children and adults of our communities have been cut off from state money by Governor Andrew Cuomo.
We all know that we are in the midst of an economic crisis in our state and in our country, however, these organizations can not continue to operate properly unless they receive some state financial backing.
Our local elected officials and community leaders and residents are fighting to prevent and/or restore cuts made to these services, but it is a very difficult fight. I would urge Governor Cuomo and Mayor Michael Bloomberg to come to this and other areas in our city to see and hear what impact the cuts are having and will have in the future.
We rarely see them in our communities unless it is election time. We need to speak up so that they understand what is important to us and our neighborhoods.
In the grand scheme of things, the amount of money needed to support these agencies and services is not huge, but the impact that elimination or reduction of services will have will adversely affect our quality of life and the desire by people to want to live here and throughout the city.

Verizon's been interested in Yahoo since December.
Yahoo launched an auction of its core business in February after it shelved plans to spin off its stake in Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba.
Bidders were asked details about financing, conditions or approvals the company would need to meet, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Here are three ways to spot completely ineffective -- and way overpaid -- CEOs.
Yahoo said earlier in the month it took a $230 million impairment charge related to Tumblr and was considering strategic alternatives for its core internet business.
The move comes two days after Bloomberg reported activist investor Starboard Value LP was taking initial steps toward a potential proxy fight with Yahoo.
The layoffs take effect April 11 and affected employees received 60-day advance notice of the move
'We believe a simplified Yahoo will create greater shareholder value over the long term,' said CEO Marissa Mayer.
As many as 30 employees were said to have been let go, only to be later told that they were simply on a shortlist.
The layoffs, which would result in more than 1,000 people leaving the tech giant, is set to affect Yahoo's media business, European operations, and platforms-technology group.

Redbridge Council reveals there is ‘real and urgent’ need for more healthcare in the borough
- Credit: Archant
Redbridge Council is “disappointed” to have missed out on funding and confirmed there is a “very real and urgent need” for more healthcare investment in the borough.
On September 30, the government announced that it would give £2.7billion of funding over the next five years, to health infrastructure across England.
Neighbouring borough Waltham Forest benefited under the scheme and Whipps Cross Hospital received £350million to put towards new buildings and equipment.
Redbridge Councillor, Mark Santos who is cabinet member for health, social care, mental health and the ageing, said that while he welcomes "much-needed" investment in healthcare in east London, Redbridge has been overlooked.
"We are disappointed to have once again missed out on accessing much-needed government funding for hospitals under the Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT)," he said.
You may also want to watch:
"Health facilities across BHRUT need capital investment and our populations are not only growing rapidly, they are changing.
"The demands on the local health infrastructure are considerable.

"It is right that we should be concerned by the continuous lack of capital funding to our hospitals."
He added that while NHS staff member were doing the very best they can, without more capital funding residents will not have the healthcare infrastructure "that this borough deserves and needs.
Matt Hancock MP, secretary of state for health and social care said the money given out to hospitals across England was the "largest sum that has ever been invested in the NHS".
"I love the NHS and I'm incredibly excited to be able to launch the largest hospital building plan in a generation, with 40 new hospitals across the country," he said.
"Too many of our hospitals are too old, and this plan will build new state of the art hospitals, using the best technology, so our brilliant NHS staff have the best possible facilities to provide the best possible care."
This isn't the first time that health provision in Redbridge has been raised in the press and Ilford MP for Ilford North, Wes Streeting, previously said that Redbridge has been overlooked in the healthcare stakes
In August of this year, he questioned why prime minister, Boris Johnson, awarded money to neighbouring Havering for a Hornchurch health hub, when Redbridge has one of the worst GP to patient ratios in England.
Mr Streeting said inhabitants of Redbridge are waiting "far too long" and don't always feel they have had the "attention they need" and added: "Without serious investment in Redbridge, the prime minister is on course to break one of his first promises - that people wouldn't be waiting weeks to see a GP."

Islamic State releases map of 5-year plan to spread from Spain to China
The Islamic State will not succeed in advancing this far, of course. But they will murder many people as they try.
“The Structure of the Islamic State (ISIS),” by Col. (ret.) Dr. Jacques Neriah, Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, September 8, 2014 (thanks to Victor):
Much has been written and said about the Islamic State in Iraq and Sham (the Levant) — ISIS. Most of the commentators have looked at ISIS as another terrorist organization, an al-Qaeda off-shoot, waging a guerrilla war with cohorts of unorganized thugs. The Afghani-style gear, the pickup trucks, the all black or army fatigue uniforms which most ISIS fighters wear, the unshaven beards, the turbans, hoods and head “bandanas” with Arabic inscriptions have added to the confusion.
In fact, ISIS is much more than a terrorist organization; it is a terrorist state with almost all governing elements. Over the last three years, since the beginning of the civil war in Syria, the Islamic State developed from an extremist fringe and marginal faction participating in the civil war to become the strongest, most ferocious, best funded and best armed militia in the religious and ethnic war that is waged today in Syria and Iraq.
But first, what is the name of this entity and what are the borders of the Islamic State? From the first days of its appearance in Syria in 2011, the organization was known as ISIS. However, since the declaration in Summer 2014 of the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate headed by Ibrahim ‘Awad Ibrahim Al Badri al Samarra’i, alias Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi — now the self-declared “Caliph Ibrahim” — ISIS has been transformed into the “Islamic State” (Al Dawla Al Islamiya ) in order to stress the fact that the Caliphate is not to be limited to Iraq, Syria, Israel (Palestine), Jordan and the Levant, but its ambitions lie well beyond those limited borders.
According to the maps published by the Islamic State, the Islamic State will include Andalus in the West (Spain) and stretch from North Africa — the Maghreb — (and the whole of West Africa including Nigeria) through Libya and Egypt (considered one geographical unit – Ard Al-Kinana), include what is called in Islamic state terminology, Ard el Habasha (from Cameroon in the west, Central Africa, the Victoria lake states, Ethiopia and Somalia), the Hijaz (Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States), Yemen until Khurasan in the east – defined as the Central Asian Muslim Republics beginning with Azerbaijan and including Pakistan and the South west part of China, land of the Muslims of Turkish origin, the Uyghurs. The Islamic State includes also Iran and Turkey (named Anadol) in their entirety and parts of Europe (mainly the Balkans, more or less conforming to the borders of the defunct Ottoman Empire with the Austro-Hungarian territories)….

Skip to comments.Life After Lott
Posted on 12/20/2002 9:34:55 PM PST by Mensch
REPUBLICANS APPROACH 2003 with the embarrassing Trent Lott flap over, the most attractive and genial Republican senator, Bill Frist, installed as the new Senate majority leader, and his tough and shrewd conservative colleague Mitch McConnell as the majority whip. It's Denny Hastert and Tom DeLay all over again, Mr. Outside and Mr. Inside, the good cop and the bad cop.
Meanwhile, Democrats, led by the Clintons and their consigliere, Democratic chairman Terry McAuliffe, enter the New Year issuing absurd and demagogic charges about how Republicans use race to win elections. It's pure race-baiting, crude and untrue. Having lost the November 5 election on the national security issue, Democrats are now playing the race card, but in a way that's likely to hurt only themselves.
Who'd have guessed that Republicans would be up, Democrats down? For two weeks, Republicans had been on the defensive. President Bush was forced to dump his economic team, the GOP lost the Louisiana Senate race plus a Republican House seat, Saddam Hussein was winning the public relations war with Bush by welcoming arms inspectors, and Lott made an extraordinary mistake by going public with a private pleasantry between him and retiring senator Strom Thurmond suggesting nostalgia for segregation. Democrats had a lot to capitalize on. They tried to exploit the Lott case to tar all Republicans as racists. What Lott had said publicly, Sen. Hillary Clinton declared, other Republicans mutter privately. Who was she talking about? Which Republicans? She didn't say.
Republicans may be lucky, for a change. Not only did the Lott affair end well with the senator's decision to step down, but Saddam Hussein played into America's hands by submitting a palpably fraudulent inventory of his weapons to the United Nations. Even Hans Blix, the squishy arms inspector, and the French ambassador to the U.N. turned on Iraq. It set the stage for Secretary of State Colin Powell to denounce the Iraqis for a "material breach" of a U.N. resolution. And it improved the chances the Bush administration will have plenty of allies, including the French, on board when the time comes, probably in February, to drive Saddam out of office and liberate Iraq.
Democrats look desperate and self-destructive. With the retirement of Thurmond and Sen. Jesse Helms, the GOP has very few Dixiecrats left in the party. Yet Democrats would have the nation believe Republicans are racists at heart, only adept at covering it up. In campaigns, they say, Republicans use clever code words and issues, like retaining the Confederate flag, that are proxies for racism. Does anyone believe this about the 2002 Republican Senate candidates, say Elizabeth Dole in North Carolina or Lindsey Graham in South Carolina or Lamar Alexander in Tennessee or John Cornyn in Texas? Not a chance. The charge is both unprovable and implausible.
For two weeks, the Lott controversy looked as if it would bedevil Republicans for months or years. Lott refused to quit and his apologies helped very little. But once it was clear he couldn't last as majority leader, his friends and allies--especially McConnell--quickly nudged him toward quitting. And just when a soft landing from the flap seemed impossible, it happened with the ascension of Frist. He is a great story all by himself, a heart doctor who volunteers his time for surgery in Africa and wrote a book about combating anthrax and other biological weapons. Frist is also popular with the media (at least until he makes a few conservative decisions as majority leader). Republican senators wisely rushed to crown him before Christmas.
Conservatives have reason to worry about Frist's ideological commitment, but not much. True, he's a moderate conservative with a pragmatic streak, just like Bush. And he emphasizes domestic issues such as health care. In fact, he represents the triumph of Bushism: a compassionate conservative in command of the Senate, or, put another way, conservatism with a happy face. Things may not work out perfectly for conservatives in terms of substance, but the emergence of Frist is great PR for Republicans.
Quite suddenly Republicans have an unusually capable leadership team in the Senate. Lott and his whip, Don Nickles, didn't get along and it showed. Frist is likely to work smoothly with McConnell, who graciously endorsed him for leader rather than challenge him in a contest that would have lingered over the holidays. Along with McConnell, the number three and four members in the leadership, Rick Santorum and John Kyl, are among the smartest conservatives in the Senate. So, post-Lott, Republicans are filled with optimism for 2003. Democrats are merely bitter.
I love a story with a happy ending.
This situation has been a very difficult one. However, these guys have handled it. The Conservative Movement is stronger now than it was with Lott heading the Senate. The other side is in disarray. It's made lemonade out of lemons. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Do you really think that the GOP has gained traction in the political arena? Not being confrontational... I hope you are correct!
Cheers and Merry Christmas to you!

I repaired a JDM 30 controller by soldering a new right stick onto it, I have two issues now that maybe someone has an idea how to fix.
First issue: the right stick now does a rectangular motion instead of a circular motion if you use it and do a 360 degree rotation.
Second issue: After putting the controller back together, when I press firmly so the two controller shell pieces are pushed together, it will disconnect for a second and then reconnect (using a usb cable). I’m not sure if the reset button gets pressed then, but I doubt it is because everything is back together the way it is supposed to (but maybe apparently not?)
Any help would be appreciated, am going to use the controller on pc and ps4 again.

Fish Rain Down from the Sky During Recent Storm in East Texas
This startling incident, which took place at the end of December, is considered to be a case of "animal rain"
It rained fish in east Texas around the close of 2021. Yes, fish. The strange incident reportedly occurred on December 29, 2021. “There was a loud crack of thunder,” James Audirsch told KTAL. “When we opened up the bay door, I looked outside and it was raining real hard, and a fish hit the ground. Fish were droppin’ here and everywhere.”
Audirsch was working at the Orr Maxx used car dealership when the incident took place. After the brief storm, small white bass up to five inches long littered the dealership’s parking lot. People in other parts of Texarkana also reported dozens of fish, possibly also including some shad, falling into their yards during the storm.
“2021 is pulling out all the tricks. And no, This isn’t a joke,” wrote The City of Texarkana in a Facebook post. “Animal rain is a phenomenon that occurs when small water animals like frogs, crabs, and small fish are swept up in waterspouts or drafts that occur on the surface of the earth. They are then rained down at the same time as the rain.”
According to National Geographic, the waterspouts that are able to sweep up small animals are like tornadoes, which displace dirt and other physical objects in their path. The waterspouts typically slow once they’re no longer above a liquid surface. Soon, the heavier objects—such as fish—in the dissipating spout drop to the ground.
This is not the first time fish have been reported raining from the sky. In 2017, KCRA reported fish falling from the sky at an elementary school in California. The possible cause in that instance was a storm skimming over the fish hatchery located across the river half a mile from the school.
According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, white bass, the species that reportedly rained from the sky in Texarkana, typically grow up to eight inches long in their first year. They can survive for up to five years in the Lone Star State, and rarely reach weights of more than three pounds. The state record white bass was a 5-pound 9-ouncer that measured 20.75 inches and was caught in 1977.

Nicolas Colsaerts ran into Jack Nicklaus Jr. last week and asked what advice he had about the Masters.
In particular, Westwood said, his performance on the par-5s proved to be the difference between a solid round and one that could have vaulted him squarely into contention.
"He's a youngster just learning the game and it's his first professional tournament. It seems a little bit harsh to me," Lee Westwood said. "He probably learned to play slowly after watching us professional golfers on TV, so why should we be surprised?"

I know, I know.
Here at Evil Beet, we decided not to cover the story of Aliza Shvartz (Best. Name. Ever.), the Yale undergrad who claimed she impregnated herself and aborted the fetuses regularly as some form of bizarre art project.
We didn’t cover it because I figured the story went one of two ways:
1) It was all some retarded prank (an “herbal” abortion? Um, right …) or
2) This girl was getting a ton of press coverage for something I feel is morally reprehensible. You know, I’m all about a woman’s right to choose, but to intentionally get pregnant with the knowledge that you will, for sure, intentionally abort the fetus, is disgusting in so many ways, and then to use the fact that you did this to score free press? Disgusting, and I won’t have any part of it.
Fortunately, #1 was the correct answer.
The whole thing was a prank. Er, um, excuse me: the whole thing was “performance art.”
Yale University issued this statement tonight:
Ms. Shvarts is engaged in performance art. Her art project includes visual representations, a press release and other narrative materials. She stated to three senior Yale University officials today, including two deans, that she did not impregnate herself and that she did not induce any miscarriages. The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a womanâ€™s body.
She is an artist and has the right to express herself through performance art.
Had these acts been real, they would have violated basic ethical standards and raised serious mental and physical health concerns.
So, um, yeah.
We didn’t fall for it. Or make a huge fuss about it.
That’s more than I can say for some other bloggers.

I’ve gotten so many comments and emails about this that I figured I should just make a general announcement about it.
I LOVED doing American Idol recaps. It was incredibly fun, and a great outlet for all my venom. And I’m delighted to find how much you all liked them, and how much you miss them. It fills my evil little heart with pride.
Through a variety of strange series of events, the three places I have lived in since late January (yes, I’ve moved around a lot) didn’t have very good access to television. Like, at my dad’s place, there was a TV set, but no actual cable access. We could only watch DVDs. Part of my dad’s grand scheme for “mindful living.” And at my new place in Seattle, there’s a TV, but no DVR or TiVo, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn the closed captioning off. So watching TV is almost painful out here.
I plan to remedy this situation for next season, and bring back the recaps, but I’ve honestly only seen a handful of episodes this season myself.

All of a sudden, it seems like Eva Amurri is hitting the red carpet at every event the city of New York can churn out. I see this girl everywhere these days.
Here she is at Conde Nast’s “Hot List” party.
What’s the verdict on the dress? It seems like this long, loose sleeve look is really in right now, but it takes a hell of a woman to walk the red carpet in a dress based almost entirely on the concept of horizontal stripes.

Insiders in the New York area report that the casting call for Paris Hilton’s upcoming reality show — where she’s going to choose a new BFF — had dismal results. They say only 40 to 50 people showed up.
Said Paris on her MySpace page: there were â€œNO open calls for the showâ€ and â€œevery event is exclusive and hand-picked by invitation only … I didn’t want my potential BFFs to have to wait in a long open-call lines.â€
In fairness, this is probably true. I did some research over on RealityWanted.com, which passed me over to parisbff.com, which said the following:
We are coming to the following cities and holding â€œMeet and Greet Mixersâ€ where we will scout potential cast members who will be invited to attend Interviews with our casting directors on the following days. To be invited to the Mixers, email firstname.lastname@example.org with Name, Pic and Phone Number.
To be scheduled for an interview, apply on www.ParisBff.com/viplist.
Tragically, the application cut-off was April 15, or I swear to you guys I would be preparing my application tape right this moment. Maybe I should send them an email just in case? I’ve never wanted to be on a reality TV show in my whole life, but I totally want to do this one.

Ohhhhh, I remember the sex talk. I tried to avoid it forever. Whenever my mom would be like, “We need to have a serious conversation, Beet,” I’d be like, “I have anywhere else to be.” And sometimes I would just shout at her that I hated her and run away. At one point, she resorted to putting a copy of What’s Happening to My Body? in the bathroom cabinet. This made the bathroom cabinet taboo to me, and I refused to open it, even to get a fresh roll of toilet paper. I knew what was inside: that evil, evil book. I could seriously think of absolutely nothing worse than talking to my mother about sex, my menstrual period, my breasts, or anything even remotely similar.
This is when I was 11 or 12, and my mother was a stay-at-home mom. Today, my mother is a licensed sex therapist, and has painting of penises all over my old bedroom, which is now her office, and the shelves are packed with books with names like “The Female Orgasm” and “Navigating Oral Sex” and “Sisters,” which is a book of black-and-white nude, lesbianesque photographs, which a boyfriend once picked up on his very first visit to my mother’s house, thinking it had an innocent-enough title. “Oh,” he said, “This is porn.” My mom was like, “Oh, no, sweetheart. That’s art. If you want porn, it’s in the other room.” I very nearly died. Of laughter.
Anyway, Ashton Kutcher’s talking to Elle about having the sex talk with Demi Moore’s daughters, who I’m sure are delighted beyond words to have Ashton Kutcher giving them their sex talk. It would be like if Joey McIntyre had been there to talk to me about having sex at age 11. It just would have made the whole experience a lot more awesome.
â€œI knew that one of the girls had had sex and hadnâ€™t really talked to us about it, so I wanted to create an open forum for her. So over Christmas last year, we had a conversation about sex â€” all of us except Tallulah, the youngest â€¦ and one boyfriend was there.â€
Why doesn’t Tallulah get the sex talk?? She’s 14 years old! Who the hell isn’t having sex at 14 these days?
He also chats with the girls about weed:
â€œIâ€™ve learned how to talk to a kid about sex and drugs â€” pot in particular. â€¦ You canâ€™t try to conceal any of your own history. Because when they find out about you, you become a liar. â€¦ â€˜Youâ€™re not going to die,â€™ but I also told them that I have a lot of friends who I used to smoke pot with, and a lot of them are still just hanging out smoking pot.â€
Oh, Ashton. Come over to my place and talk sex and drugs to me. I’ll be an eager student.


HYANNIS — The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority was honored by the state Department of Environmental Resources at the Statehouse on Monday.
The agency received a Leading by Example award for enacting policies and programs that have resulted in significant and measurable environmental and energy benefits, according to the announcement.
The award program reviews state agencies, public colleges and universities and municipalities to honor those with an outstanding commitment to better the environment.
“Our recently completed solar project is part of an ongoing effort to participate in the green initiative by helping to reduce the carbon footprint,” said authority Administrator Thomas Cahir, who also serves on the Senate Committee on Transportation Policy.
“Our entire business model is predicated on sustainability, convenient service and efficient operations, and I am honored that CCRTA was recognized for our efforts,” he said.

Stephen King's novel The Shining has been adapted into a movie, a TV miniseries, and now into an opera! If you are lightning fast (and lucky) you might be able to see it on stage at the Ordway Center for Performing Arts because Minnesota Opera is giving this new world premiere opera four performances in Saint Paul. I've had my ticket for months now and after the spectacular productions this year, I can't wait to see how this modern English language opera (music by Paul Moravec and libretto by Mark Campbell) will conclude the Minnesota Opera's 2015-2016 season.
Jeni Houser plays the role of Mrs. Grady in The Shining (also Johanna in this year's Mill City Summer Opera's production of Sweeny Todd!) answers some questions about what it's been like playing a ghost and her musical inspirations. Enjoy...
Stephen King's best-selling novel "The Shining" was first published in 1977
What's it been like working on a "horror" opera, so far?
It's very exciting for me to play a ghost (Mrs. Grady, murdered by her husband), and the nuance the leads bring to their roles is going to make the living characters extremely compelling. I'm impressed with the dramatic commitment Brian Mulligan and Kelly Kaduce have shown in rehearsal, and in performance I think they will be completely captivating. Music frequently plays an important role in creating tension and suspense in film, so the idea of using music to bring a "horror" story to live performance is great. Paul Moravec's music is full of drama and intensity, so the rehearsal process has been invigorating.
I have read the book, but I've never actually seen the movie. I'm not a huge horror fan historically, so I read the book in preparation for the opera, knowing that there are some differences between the book and movie and that our production is very definitely based on the novel. I LOVED the book, and would highly recommend everyone read it before, during (only for expert multi-taskers), or after they see our production.
Potent, gripping, and memorable.
What inspired you to become a singer?
I have always loved to sing, and I was particularly inspired by some vocal greats including Ella Fitzgerald and Barbara Bonney. You can HEAR the emotion in their voices. I am moved by the purity of the voice as well as its incredible communicative ability, and I strive to be vulnerable and strong at the same time in my singing.
What is next for you after The Shining?
Actually, another horror show of sorts! I'll be performing the role of Johanna in Sondheim's Sweeney Todd with Mill City Summer Opera in Minneapolis. Johanna is almost ghostly in a dreamy way, although hopefully she'll make out of that show alive, unlike Mrs. Grady.

Active in Ecuador since 1963, we are focusing our recovery efforts on the two cities hit hardest by the earthquake, Pedernales and Portoviejo. Our main focus, as always, is vulnerable children.
On Saturday, April 16, a powerful earthquake in Ecuador left more than 663 people dead. There was heavy damage to hospitals, schools and homes, forcing 5,400 families into temporary shelters. A total of 350,000 people, including 250,000 children and adolescents, were in need of urgent relief.
Since the earthquake struck, more than 1,800 aftershocks have been reported. Nearly 80,000 people remain displaced from their homes, with nearly 30,000 people still living in shelters.
The main issues facing children and families center around the shelters, which are overcrowded and have poor sanitation and a lack of clean drinking water. As a result, the displaced families, especially the children, face an increased risk of diarrhea and mosquito-borne diseases such as the Zika virus. Furthermore, about 120,000 children remain with limited or no access to education.

About 370,000 Russians are found HIV positive during 2006 and, among them, over 1,000 children carried the infection from their mothers who were either suffering from full-blown AIDS or HIV positive, the federal health service has said.
Epidemiologist Guennadi Onitshenko said Tuesday an additional 16,000 children born of AIDS carrier parents have not developed symptoms yet, but are under observation.
The report published in January 2007 said most of the people classified seropositive were in the regions of Murmansk, Daguestan, Lipets and Rostov.
The territories of Riazan, Karelia, Vologodsk, Novgorod and Krasnodarsk had seen a reduction in the number of AIDS/HIV cases, the report said.
Expert Elena Pravidlo said, besides financial issues, the major problem is indifferent publicity, cantering on attacking free sex as an immoral act, rather than a focus on protection.
Specialist Mijail Rukavishnikov said a vigorous anti-AIDS campaign could not take off because of the absence of a well-coordinated programme.

When thousands of customers logged on to www.BestHealthFoodStore.net for free health drink samples, the operators of this online health food store were quickly overwhelmed.
Mesa, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/24/2007 -- BestHealthFoodStore.net was offering free health drink samples when owners of this new online health food store were overwhelmed with thousands of requests from customers. Being a relatively new Internet store, daily traffic was steady at about twenty-five visitors a day. Suddenly, over 2,000 thirsty visitors logged on to the site in less than 24 hours, and health drink samples quickly ran dry.
Jane Wakefield, one of the owners of www.BestHealthFoodStore.net, said, "We couldn't believe our eyes as the requests for health drinks poured in faster and faster, from one every five minutes, to two or three per minute". That is when they realized that their little health food store would have to give away thousands of free health drink samples. They were forced to discontinue the promotion or they would soon be forced to shut down their new store.
Operators of the site posted a note on the BestHealthFoodStore.net customer survey page noting their surprise at the thousands of people who requested free health drinks. The note read, "In order for us to satisfy those who have already submitted their mailing information to our health food store we are forced to put the brakes on our promotion for free health drink samples". They encouraged visitors to look around the store, use a special code and receive 20% off any purchase of low carb, high fiber foods, aromatherapy essential oil or other products. They also offered free health podcasts and articles on nutrition.
Obviously, this is powerful advertising for a new health food store, but can Wakefield and the other store operators afford to send free health drink samples to so many people? The other big question is, how many of those people will ever buy anything from BestHealthFoodStore.net? Wakefield answers this question by saying, "It is encouraging that many of the responses to our customer survey are from people who obviously have genuine interest in higher quality all natural foods and health drinks than those being sold in retail stores or advertised on television". Whether or not there will be enough buyers to keep the store in business remains to be seen. For now, though, http://www.BestHealthFoodStore.net continues to offer all natural, low carb, high fiber foods and health drinks not found at the retail level.

I'm writing a simple browser-based front end that should be able to launch a background task and then get progress from it. I want the browser to receive a response saying whether the task launched successfully, and then poll to determine when it is done. However, the presence of a background task seems to be stopping the XMLHttpRequest response from being sent immediately, so I can't report the success of launching the process. Consider the following (simplified) code:
import SocketServer import SimpleHTTPServer import multiprocessing import time class MyProc(multiprocessing.Process): def run(self): print 'Starting long process..' for i in range(100): time.sleep(1) print 'Done long process' class Page(SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler): def do_GET(self): if self.path == '/': print >>self.wfile, "Run" if self.path == '/run': self.proc = MyProc() print 'Starting..' self.proc.start() print 'After start.' print >>self.wfile, "Process started." httpd = SocketServer.TCPServer(('', 8000), Page) httpd.serve_forever()
When I run this, and browse to http://localhost:8000, I get a button named "Run". When I click on it, the terminal displays:
Starting.. After start.
However the browser view does not change.. in fact the cursor is spinning. Only when I press Ctrl-C in the terminal to interrupt the program, then the browser is update with the message
After start is clearly being printed. Therefore I can assume that
do_GET is returning after starting the process. Yet, the browser doesn't get a response until after I interrupt the long-running process. I have to conclude there is something blocking between
do_GET and the response being sent, which is inside
I've also tried this with threads and subprocess.Popen but ran into similar problems. Any ideas?


Truth in Tolling Act Advancing in New Jersey
New legislation would make toll prices more visible for NJ motorists.
Legislation to require the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and the South Jersey Transportation Authority to install electronic displays at the collection points on every EZ-Pass toll lane of the state’s three toll roads to show the toll amount paid by EZ-Pass users when they pass through a toll has passed the Assembly Transportation Committee today.
“There have been countless times when I’ve driven through an EZ-Pass lane and had no idea how much I just paid in toll fare,” says Assemblywoman Connie Wagner, one of the bill’s sponsors. “Cash-strapped commuters should know full well how much they’re paying so they can decide for themselves whether they’d like to take a different route.”
The measure is also sponsored by Assembly members Valerie Vainieri Huttle and Gordon Johnson. All three lawmakers say EZ-Pass users are often unaware of the amount of money being deducted from their EZ-Pass accounts when they pass through tolls. The displays will enable EZ-Pass users to make more informed choices about whether to use toll roads.
“I’m sure there are countless commuters out there who don’t know for months how much they’re paying in tolls until their EZ-Pass statement shows up,” says Vainieri Huttle. “You wouldn’t walk into a store and buy something without knowing the price so it’s only fair that toll prices be featured prominently.”
The requirement wouldn’t apply to points at which tolls are collected at bridges, tunnels, or through high speed gantries. The toll road authorities shall determine the technology to be used for the displays and the cost of the installation.
“Commuters sometimes have no idea how much they’re paying in tolls until they get hit with an automatic deduction from their bank account to replenish their EZ-Pass account,” says Johnson. “If you’re on a tight budget, knowing how much you’re paying in tolls can mean the difference between overdrawing your bank account and staying on balance.”


Lloyd Instruments has announced the availability of a new materials testing fixture, which allows measurement of the force required for carton erection from flat, folded carton blanks. These measurements can be used to help set up operating conditions for automatic carton erection machines. Since many cartons are rectangular in shape when erected, they have two long and two short sides. The new jig has been designed with V-shaped grooved rollers, which retain grip on the box yet allow the box axis to rotate as it opens.
The new jig has been designed for compression testing using the low force (1 kN (225 lbf)) LFPlus single column universal materials testing machine. It can also be fitted on other Lloyd Instruments test machines, when using an appropriate force load cell. It is suitable for use with a wide range of carton blanks for consumer products, including boxes for ‘ready meals’, toothpaste and teabags, as well as carton blanks for cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging.
Testing can be fully automated using the powerful NEXYGENPlus materials test and analysis software.
The introduction of the new fixture extends the range of materials test solutions for paper and paper board offered by Lloyd Instruments. These include: tensile breaking strength for wet and dry paper, tensile energy absorption, bending stiffness, tear strength, tear resistance, folding endurance strength, paper stretch, burst strength and friction to TAPPI standards.

Human embryonic stem cells have the potential to treat many physical and neurological disorders due to their unique ability to transform into any type of human cell. The process of deriving stem cells from human embryos, however, raises important ethical and regulatory issues. Embryonic stem cell research requires a steady source of human eggs to create embryos that are destroyed during stem cell extraction. International declarations and guidelines protect the two most vulnerable participants of embryonic stem cell research: women who donate eggs for research purposes and human embryos that are destroyed in the research. In 2005, South Korea passed the Bioethics and Biosafety Act to regulate biotechnology research. In its current form, the Bioethics and Biosafety Act fails to adequately protect egg donors and human embryos. The Bioethics and Biosafety Act does not have adequate safeguards to protect egg donors, such as a requirement of voluntary consent and a requirement that egg donors understand the research and its potential risks. The Institutional Review Boards established by the Bioethics and Biosafety Act are not sufficiently removed from the research institution to guarantee that egg donors are not exploited. Additionally, this legislation fails to appropriately regulate the use of human embryos in scientific research as required by international guidelines. The Bioethics and Biosafety Act should include more detailed provisions dealing with the adequacy and quality of informed consent that is obtained from egg donors. Furthermore, Korea should amend its law to limit the use of human embryos in stem cell research so that the embryos are not unnecessarily destroyed.

Minister for Justice, The Hon Michael Keenan today joined Crime Stoppers Australia to launch a national Dob in a Dealer campaign.
Crime Stoppers’ Dob in a Dealer campaign calls on communities to come together in the fight against ice.
All law enforcement agencies are collaborating in ice detection but Dob in a Dealer is a community engagement campaign focused on gathering local intelligence and engaging every Australian in contributing to making their communities safer places. Crime Stoppers provides the community with a safe and secure avenue to pass on information confidentially.
The Dob in a Dealer campaign has received Federal funding of $1 million in order to take the campaign across the country. Crime Stoppers will be visiting local communities asking residents to be active participants in reporting those that are involved in the manufacture and supply of ice and other illicit drugs.
“We are asking people to make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers, or to report online if they have information about people manufacturing or distributing ICE in their community” said Bryan Roach, Crime Stoppers Australia Chair. “Dob in a Dealer is a campaign for the community by the community. When it comes to ice, Australian’s have had enough. Our aim is to make everyone aware that to deal with the ice problem affecting our families and friends, that they must help. We want everyone to know that if they have any information on those who are manufacturing and supplying ice in our communities to Dob in a Dealer by contacting Crime Stoppers.”
Crimes relating to methamphetamine or ICE continue to be a concern for police as there remains a strong correlation between those who commit drug offences and those committing other crimes.
Community information is vital to help stemming the flow of ice across the country and the Dob in a Dealer campaign is one of the initiatives backed by the Federal Government in a multi-pronged approach to addressing methylamphetamine manufacture and use.
The national rollout of the campaign comes on the back of strong results from the Victorian based campaign which saw communities playing an important role in providing information anonymously to Crime Stoppers and ice reports increase by over 150%.
Crime Stoppers is aware that some people reporting may have an existing addiction to drugs or may be family members of someone suffering an addiction. Crime Stoppers will refer those who require assistance to local health care agencies where they can discuss treatment options.
If you have information about someone who is manufacturing or dealing in ice call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestoppers.com.au.
If you know something, say something!
Report information confidentially online at www.crimestoppers.com.au
or call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

These tips for growing wisteria will help you keep your wisteria vines looking great.
Wisteria are vigorous, twining vines with wide landscape usage where space permits and gardeners are committed to keeping them in bounds. Among their attributes are hardiness, vigor, longevity and the ability to climb high. They are greatly valued for their large, pendulous flower clusters that occur in the spring. Flowers are pea-like and may be white, pink, lilac-blue, bluish-purple or purple in color. The fruit is a long, green flattened pod that is not particularly ornamental. The plant climbs by means of twining stems and has alternate, pinnately compound leaves. Older, established plants may have a twisted, woody trunk several inches in diameter.
In order to bloom well, wisteria require full sun (six or more hours of direct sun per day) and a deep, moderately fertile, moist soil that does not dry out excessively. They will adapt to most soils, though they prefer a neutral to slightly acid soil pH of 6.0-7.0 for best results. Some type of support will be necessary as mature plants can be quite heavy.
Culture Soil Preparation
Good site preparation will help ensure plant establishment. Begin with a soil test to determine if the soil pH or the phosphorus level need correction. If so, make additions of materials as you are preparing the soil. Prepare soil in an area two to three feet in diameter and 18 to 24 inches deep. Mix into the native soil either peat moss, compost or well rotted manure, one-third by volume, to improve soil aeration and drainage.
Wisterias climb best on wires, trellises, arbors and pergolas. They can be grown on solid, vertical surfaces if proper supports are provided, such as rows of wire attached four to six inches from the wall. Use sturdy, durable materials such as galvanized wire, tubing or wood. Copper or aluminum wire or tubing are preferred over other metals since these do not rust. Use pressure-treated wood for arbors and pergolas. However, do not plant wisteria where the stems can invade and clog building gutters. Wisteria can also be grown as a single trunk standard or a tree-form. To accomplish this, the plant must be staked in an upright position. When it has reached four to five feet in height its top is cut off. Side shoots are allowed to develop on the upper part, but are continually removed from the lower stem. Side shoots are pruned each winter to six inches to a foot in length until the top is as large as desired. Future pruning consists of cutting summer shoots to the sixth or seventh leaf as soon as it expands and of cutting off secondary shoots that develop just beyond the first or second leaf. In winter, these secondary shoots are cut back to within an inch of their base. Living trees are often used as support but this must be done carefully. Trees less than ten inches in diameter can be quickly killed by girdling of the twining wisteria stem. Larger trees can also be damaged. If trees are used they should be inspected every several years to prevent girdling. If a tree is being girdled, the wisteria can be cut back to the soil line and allowed to grow back. The old girdling stem must be physically removed from the tree to avoid future damage.
Planting and Establishing
Once the soil is prepared and the support system is in place, the vine can be planted. Place the root ball of the plant in the hole so it is no deeper than it originally grew in the nursery. If your wisteria is grafted, set it so the graft union is slightly below the soil surface. Fill in the hole with the prepared soil mix and firm it around the root ball. Water well after planting, soaking the entire area. New plants will require an inch of water per week applied either through irrigation or as rainfall. Young plants should be fertilized annually until they fill the allotted space. Do not expect young vines to bloom since vegetative growth is being encouraged. Once the plant is established and has filled the allotted space, do not fertilize unless shoot and foliage growth and color is not good. Water only if foliage wilts as it might during drought conditions. Both of these practices stimulate vegetative growth and limit flower prodroduction.
Some annual pruning is required to maintain plant quality; it is not advisable to allow the vine to grow randomly and take over surrounding plants and structures. Pruning will help reduce the vigor of the vine and promote flowering.
Training New Vines
To train plants on a wire trellis or an arbor, select a vigorous, upright stem to serve as the main leader and attach this to the support. Remove other side shoots. As the main leader grows, it will develop side branches that will then produce more shoots and the flower buds. Continue to train the main leader upward and the new side branches as needed to form a framework to fit the allotted space (allow about 18 inches between side branches). Pinch off the main leader when it reaches the desired height.

About This Unit
No. 33 Squadron (RAAF)
During February and March 1942, the RAAF formed four transport units: Nos. 33, 34, 35 and 36 Squadrons. No. 33 Squadron was established on 16 February at Townsville, Queensland, under the control of North-Eastern Area Command.
Equipped with four ex-Qantas Short Empire flying boats that had been transferred from No. 11 Squadron, along with several smaller types including de Havilland Dragons and Tiger Moths, Avro Ansons, and Vultee Vigilants, it was used for a range of general transport tasks and air sea rescue.
The squadron suffered its first loss on 27 February, when one of the Empires crashed on landing at Townsville; the six crew members were killed. A second Empire was destroyed at its mooring during a Japanese air attack on Broome, Western Australia, on 3 March; another Empire was impressed from Qantas to replace the lost aircraft. Two months later the commanding officer, Squadron Leader Charles Gurney, was killed while co-piloting a Martin B-26 Marauder of the 19th Bomb Squadron USAAF that crashed after attacking Rabaul. One of No. 33 Squadron's tasks was search-and-rescue; it lost another Empire on 8 August 1942, when it sank in heavy seas off the coast of New Guinea while trying to rescue survivors of a torpedoed ship.
No. 33 Squadron transferred to Port Moresby in January 1943, providing air transport to Australian forces involved in the New Guinea campaign. Transport needs were so desperate in New Guinea that even the Tiger Moths were employed, delivering a total of 77 kilograms (170 lb) per trip. In September–October 1943, the squadron began taking delivery of fifteen Douglas C-47 Dakotas to replace its assortment of aircraft. By the time it transferred to Milne Bay on 1 January 1944, it was operating Dakotas exclusively, and continued to do so for the rest of the war. The squadron relocated to Lae on 15 January 1945. Following the end of hostilities in August 1945, it was tasked with repatriating service personnel and former prisoners of war. No. 33 Squadron returned to Townsville on 11 March 1946, and disbanded there on 13 May.


Turkish riot police unleashed tear gas to disperse a large crowd of demonstrators protesting violence against women in Istanbul, as well as the government’s withdrawal from an international treaty devoted to combating it.
The massive group of protesters, reportedly numbering in the thousands, marched to Istanbul’s Taksim Square on Thursday to mark the ‘International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.’ They met a heavy police presence in the square, which was barricaded off by officers clad in heavy riot gear, who proceeded to fire tear gas on the crowd after ordering it to disperse.

Scuffles with police were captured in videos circulating online, showing officers moving in on the demonstrators to clear them from the area as tear gas wafts through the air.

Protesters were also seen carrying a colorful assortment of signs and banners, some even toting flares, while others chanted anti-government slogans and demanded an end to what’s been dubbed by some activists as ‘femicide.’ Some 345 women in Turkey have been killed in acts of gender-based violence so far this year, just shy of the 410 reported in 2020, according to ‘We Will Stop Femicide,’ a women’s rights group.

The protest, which was mirrored on a smaller scale in other cities across the country, comes after the Turkish government formally withdrew from an international treaty meant to address violence against women in July. Known as the Istanbul Convention, the pact was originally negotiated in the same city in 2011, but President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s decision to pull out of the deal has been sharply criticized both by local activists as well as foreign leaders, with US President Joe Biden dubbing the move “deeply disappointing.”
Ankara, for its part, claimed the convention had been “hijacked” by “people attempting to normalize homosexuality,” which it said was “incompatible with Turkey’s social and family values.” Nonetheless, the government insisted it would not “give up on its fight against domestic violence” and would “continue protecting the safety and the rights of all women.”

text: This new translation restores to English The Seven Madmen (paperback original $14.99; Mar.; 249 pp.; 1-85242-592-X): This new translation restores to English a classic (1929) Argentinian novel whose author (1900—42). the son of German immigrants, wryly memorialized the polyglot vitality of Buenos Aires as a menacing objective correlative of his own—and, by extension, modern man’s—alienation and psychic disintegration. Arlt’s rootless protagonist Remo Erdosain (who appears elsewhere in his fiction) is an “underground man” recognizably akin to Dostoevsky’s and Kafka’s antiheroes; a romantic whose (very literal) search for his soul brings him into contact with variously anarchic “madmen” (including a eunuch, an astrologer, and an unforgettably misanthropic pimp) whose urgent, distracted voices blend in a cockeyed symphony of cynicism and despair. Undoubtedly a very influential book and, in its engagingly perverse way, a kind of masterpiece.

Lyon’s manager Memphis Depay has told Spanish TV station Telefoot that he would drive the Dutch forward to Barcelona himself. Garcia said: “Depay is a top player, a fantastic footballer, [one] who has just returned from a cruciate ligament operation. If he stays with us, we will be a much stronger team. If Memphis, like many other players in my squad, and there are quite a few, has the opportunity to play in a team that has been built to win the Champions League, I would drive him to Barcelona myself. They are talking about the interest in signing Memphis, but they also remember that Luis Suarez has not yet rescinded his contract with Barcelona. And a few days ago we discussed the departure of a small left-hander who, finally, remains in the Barca team. There is no space to incorporate another player.”

NEW YORK, NY – The number of abortion providers in the U.S. has dropped seven percent in recent years, according to information released by the Guttmacher Institute on Sunday.
The total number of abortion clinics in the U.S. fell from 851 in 2011 to 788 in 2014, according to the Guttmacher Institute. The decrease in number of clinics results largely from the fact that 23 states now have abortion restrictions, and 66 percent of clinics also don’t allow abortions past 20 weeks gestation, according to the data.
North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Kentucky, West Virginia, Missouri and Mississippi have only one abortion clinic as of May 2017.
New York, meanwhile, has 95 abortion clinics, Idaho has 50, Florida scores in at 71, and California has 152 clinics.
Similarly, despite the fact that the overall U.S. abortion rate declined by 25 percent between 2008 and 2014, abortions are still quite common. Almost 25 percent of women in the U.S. will have an abortion by age 45, according to a new analysis by Guttmacher Institute researchers.
Here are some other facts from the most recent stats on abortion that shouldn’t go unnoticed:

Stephen King vs. the PC Police
Here is what Stephen King said in regards to the diversity controversy at the Oscars: “As a writer, I am allowed to nominate in just 3 categories: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Screenplay. For me, the diversity issue—as it applies to individual actors and directors, anyway—did not come up. That said…I would never consider diversity in matters of art. Only quality. It seems to me that to do otherwise would be wrong.” Not surprisingly, this set off the SJWs. But he is absolutely right. If you give an award to a minority person because he or she is a minority person and not because of merit, that is tokenism. That is just another form of racism.
Note that King did *not* say that there *wasn’t* a problem anywhere along the line. To answer the bleating of the PC sheep, he clarified in later comments: “The most important thing we can do as artists and creative people is make sure everyone has the same fair shot, regardless of sex, color, or orientation. Right now such people are badly under-represented, and not only in the arts.” He’s right about that, too.
Artists and entertainers should be judged based on the quality of their work, never on the color of their skin. But that means that they shouldn’t be afforded partiality, either. That’s insulting. Skin pigmentation shouldn’t enter into the equation *at all*. Only then can there be true equality.
All that being said, Lupita Nyong’o *totally* should have been nominated for Best Actress. Totally.
