Today is remembrance day for the Armenian genocide.
The world's silence over the Islamist Turks' annihilation of the Christian Armenians from 1915 - 1924 emboldened Hitler's attack on the Poles. Who now remembers the Armenians? he asked when members of his staff demurred over his plans. I remember as a child my mother urging us to eat and not waste anything. We were so blessed. "Remember the starving Armenians," she often said.
Don't let this genocide be forgotten. It was, in fact, the first genocidal atrocity of the 20th century. It is as well documented as the German holocaust against the Jews. And yet, like other atrocities, the deniers are out there including high level government officials. Representative Brad Sherman has encouraged President Obama to acknowledge the Armenian genocide Rep. Adam Schiff did the same. . Obama, politician to the core, won't use the word. Since his election, he has avoided calling genocide genocide. As he did again this year calling it "Meds Yeghern" which means "great calamity." A "great calamity" is an earthquake or a devastating forest fire or a deadly hurricane. The Armenian massacres were "genocide." Does the word matter? It sure did in Rwanda. The U.N. refused to call the assault "genocide" which would have required continued action in the country. Instead, they pulled out all their troops leaving the Tutsis at the mercy of their enemies who engaged in the bloodiest machete attacks, even against women and children. "Kill the cockroaches," was the government's clarion call broadcast daily over the radio. And the Hutus proceeded to do it slaughtering up to 3/4 of the Tutsi population.
Yes, the Armenian assault was genocide by the Islamist Ottoman Turks against the Christians, the same type of attacks going on today in Iraq, Iran, the Sudan, and many other places. It needs to be recognized for what it was. Instead, Turkey portrays it as a control measure against a rebellious population. The Armenian news service Asbarez calls Turkey, "the original pioneers of genocide denial." Denial matters! Revisionist history undermines reality and allows perpetrators of evil to deny evil. It must be confronted. Scroll down and watch the video by the French writer on this website and check out the photographs.
Words matter. What happened to the Armenians was not just a "great calamity," it was premeditated slaughter of a population because of their religious beliefs. It was carried out systematically just like the genocide by the Third Reich two decades later and it annihilated 1.5 million men women and children through outright murder, forced marches, and other gruesome means including crucifixion of women (Does that tell you something about the religious connection?). One of the murdered, along with his flock, was Blessed Ignatius Maloyan, Archbishop of Mardin. His testimony about the persecution of the Armenians is a primary, historical source.
Remember the Armenians today. Pray for the repose of their souls and for the mercy of God on their exterminators and those who, even today, perpetuate the lie by denying what really happened!

If you think that life in the South of France is a bowl of cherries, you’re wrong. Actually, it’s a field of lavender. Some 1,500 farmers in the region cultivate the plant for perfumes, cosmetics and air fresheners. The “blue gold,” as it’s called, worth $60 a pound, is even a tourist attraction: Millions of people come each year to the beautiful fields of Provence to gaze upon the source of the marvelous sniff.
But if the European Union has its way, those aromatic fields could be reduced to a wasteland. New regulations adopted for 2018 would classify the plant as a chemical toxin, requiring bold black and red warning labels with messages like “CAN BE FATAL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED.”
Lavender? Whoever died of an overdose of lavender?
Nobody, as far as we know. But according to EU regulators, not so innocent is that plant. Lavender — also known as lavandin (a hybrid), a.k.a. Lavandula angustifolia, or Lavandula officinalis – has an alarming history of causing allergic reactions that include nausea, vomiting, headache, and chills. Lavender oil is toxic if taken orally.
But lavender producers are appalled at the prospect of air freshener marked with a skull and crossbones or its EU equivalent. The whole idea, they say, is hazardous to the health of the industry.
They are fighting “to survive,” according to the lavender lobby APAL, an organization of lavender oil producers. The fight includes a billboard campaign and a mass petition to revoke the EU ruling.
“The consequence of this ruling, in the very short term, would be the ruin of our plantations and the disappearance of lavender from our Provencal countryside,” APAL warned in a letter sent recently to President Francois Hollande and other politicians.
Of course, the entrepreneurial spirit that has animated regulators on the continent is still a mere shadow of what it has been in the U.S. for decades. Unregulated regulation is our business.
A small sampling of the data (not to be taken orally) will suffice:
A recent analysis from the Competitive Enterprise Institute estimates that the annual cost of compliance with Environmental Protection Agency regulations alone is more than a third of a trillion dollars. For example, an EPA rule finalized in February 2012 set new emissions standards for coal- and oil-fired electric utilities at an estimated cost of $9.6 billion annually. Electricity prices are expected to rise initially by 3% a year as a result. The environmental benefits, however, are at best uncertain, say critics.
• But the madness in their method is what irks some the most. As the Economist put it, “Perhaps even worse, from the utilities’ point of view, is the unpredictable and inconclusive manner in which rules are proposed, modified, rescinded and reinstated by the bureaucracy and the courts. This can make investment in pollution-control gear, let alone new power plants, an especially risky business.
“Ralph Izzo, the boss of PSEG, a big power-provider, says his firm lost millions in the 1990s building natural-gas plants that were not in the end needed, in part because some of the EPA’s standards ended up more lenient than originally anticipated.”
• Earlier this year, California environmentalists appealed and won a court case to limit water diversions by farmers — in order to protect the tiny Delta smelt. Growers charge that the decision leaves more water for the endangered fish, but less for humans during the worst drought in a century.
Back in Europe there’s good news, though. At the first whiff of controversy, EU officials conceded that the regulations might indeed go too far, and negotiations with the lavender industry are under way.
A compromise seems likely. French producers don’t deny that lavender has its down side. They are willing to consider a mild cautionary against potential allergy risk on their product. What they oppose is scarifying labels found on chemicals used in industrial processes, such as hydrochloric acid or cleaning products.
EU authorities met with lavender producers in April and some results are expected this autumn.
If the problem can be resolved amicably, everyone should come out smelling fine.

Palladium nanoparticlesMicrowave injured cellsMicrowave energyEscherichia coliDesulfovibrio desulfuricans
Gomez-Bolivar, J., Mikheenko, I. P., Macaskie, L. E., & Merroun, M. L. (2019). Characterization of palladium nanoparticles produced by healthy and microwave-injured cells of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and Escherichia coli. Nanomaterials, 9(6), 857.
SponsorshipThe study was supported by NERC (grant NE/L014076/1) to LEM.
Numerous studies have focused on the bacterial synthesis of palladium nanoparticles (bio-Pd NPs), via uptake of Pd (II) ions and their enzymatically-mediated reduction to Pd (0). Cells of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (obligate anaerobe) and Escherichia coli (facultative anaerobe, grown anaerobically) were exposed to low-dose radiofrequency (RF) radiation(microwave (MW) energy) and the biosynthesized Pd NPs were compared. Resting cells were exposed to microwave energy before Pd (II)-challenge. MW-injured Pd (II)-treated cells (and non MW-treated controls) were contacted with H2 to promote Pd(II) reduction. By using scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) associated with a high-angle annular dark field (HAADF) detector and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectrometry, the respective Pd NPs were compared with respect to their mean sizes, size distribution, location, composition, and structure. Differences were observed following MWinjury prior to Pd(II) exposure versus uninjured controls. With D. desulfuricans the bio-Pd NPs formed post-injury showed two NP populations with different sizes and morphologies. The first, mainly periplasmically-located, showed polycrystalline Pd nano-branches with different crystal orientations and sizes ranging between 20 and 30 nm. The second NPpopulation, mainly located intracellularly, comprised single crystals with sizes between 1 and 5 nm. Bio-Pd NPs were produced mainly intracellularly by injured cells of E. coli and comprised single crystals with a size distribution between 1 and 3 nm. The polydispersity index was reduced in the bio-Pd made by injured cells of E. coli and D. desulfuricans to 32% and 39%, respectively, of the values of uninjured controls, indicating an increase in NP homogeneity of 30–40% as a result of the prior MWinjury. The observations are discussed with respect to the different locations of Pd(II)-reducing hydrogenases in the two organisms and with respect to potential implications for the catalytic activity of the produced NPs following injury-associated altered NP patterning.

- If you frequent a Starbucks location, you are probably already aware with the term ″upside-down espresso shot.″ Nevertheless, what exactly is it?
- When extra components are placed underneath a shot of espresso, this preparation is referred to as an upside-down shot.
- The caramel macchiato is one of the many beverages that is frequently requested in the opposite direction of how it is typically prepared.
When you ask for an Upside Down Caramel Macchiato, the standard processes for making a Caramel Macchiato will be performed in the opposite order (first caramel, then espresso, then milk and ice, and then vanilla syrup).
What does upside down mean in a Starbucks?
What does it imply when something is ordered ″upside down″ at a Starbucks? The word ″marked″ translates to ″macchiato″ in Italian. In the lingo of traditional coffee culture, this term refers to an espresso shot that is topped with froth. It is a term used by baristas at Starbucks and it refers to foam that has been marked by pouring espresso through it.
What is an upside down macchiato?
- What does it imply when something is ordered ″upside down″ at a Starbucks?
- The word ″marked″ translates to ″macchiato″ in Italian.
- In the lingo of traditional coffee culture, this term refers to an espresso shot that is topped with froth.
- It is a term used by baristas at Starbucks and it refers to foam that has been marked by pouring espresso through it.
- The Caramel Macchiato is constructed in an inverted manner; the espresso is added last, and it is poured over the foam.
What does it mean to make a latte upside down?
By turning it over, you ensure that the ingredients go in in the correct order, which results in a more thorough mixing. LMGTFY? The inverted appearance of the macchiato is not unique to Starbucks; customers frequently request that their lattes be prepared in the same manner. Inverted indicates that the espresso comes in toward the end.
What is a Doppio espresso?
Doppio is an Italian word that literally translates to ″double,″ and it refers to a double shot of espresso. But it isn’t nearly as entertaining to say, is it? You could notice the letter ‘B’ for breve written in the milk section of your cup. This letter stands for half and half.
Is an upside down macchiato the same as a latte?
After that, full shots of espresso are poured over the top of the beverage in a slow, steady stream to make a distinctive espresso dot. The distinction between this specific beverage and a macchiato, which is an espresso that is topped with milk foam; and a latte, which is an espresso that is topped with steamed milk and milk foam; is now crystal evident thanks to the previous sentence.
Is Ristretto stronger than espresso?
In terms of the aroma and flavor profile, the ristretto is, without a doubt, far more potent than the espresso. It is said to be sweeter and more concentrated than espresso, which contributes to its more robust flavor.
What’s an upside down shot at Starbucks?
In most cases, ″upside down″ indicates that the shots should be added after the milk or water rather than before (as in the case of a caramel macchiato), but if the shots are already added on top (as in the case of a latte macchiato), ″upside down″ indicates that they should be added on the bottom.
What is signature espresso?
Every single espresso mixture has its own one-of-a-kind roast character. Their distinctive espresso is made with a darker roast, which results in a more robust flavor profile and a finish that lingers.
What is coffee magic?
- A coffee drink known as ″Magic″ that is made with espresso and milk and is nearly never found outside of Melbourne.
- As soon as you pass the boundary of Victoria, the barista will probably give you a perplexed look for the first time in their life.
- What exactly is this mysterious libation?
- ″Magic″ is a coffee that is created with two shots of ristretto, topped with steamed milk that is velvety smooth, and served in a cup that holds five ounces.
What is a lungo shot?
- A lungo, which literally translates to ″long,″ is a type of coffee drink that is made by combining one shot of espresso, sometimes known as a ″short black,″ with twice as much hot water and forcing it through the coffee grounds.
- The end result is a serving that is approximately two ounces in size, which is comparable to the size of a doppio, sometimes known as a double shot of espresso.
- This bigger amount has a greater concentration of caffeine.
What is a blonde espresso shot?
The name given to coffee that has been lightly roasted is ″blonde espresso,″ which is also referred to as ″blonde roast,″ ″light roast,″ and ″blonde espresso roast.″ Because blonde espresso pairs so well with almond milk and vanilla syrup, Starbucks prepares its blonde beverages using those two flavors in each serving. You may find blonde beverages on the menu.
Why do people order coffee upside down?
Putting in an order for an upside-down drink will cause the steps in the order to be performed in reverse. The well-known caramel macchiato, which begins with vanilla syrup and concludes with caramel, has contributed significantly to the widespread use of this phrase. When a cocktail is requested ″upside-down,″ it indicates that the recipe should be followed in the opposite direction.
Is Blonde espresso stronger?
Because it contains more caffeine overall, a shot of blonde espresso is considered to be a more potent variation of the traditional espresso. Instead of the roasting process itself being what makes it stronger, it is the beans that are chosen to be roasted that do so. The basic shot of Starbucks espresso contains 70 mg of caffeine, while the blonde roast version has 85 mg (75mg).
What’s the difference between ristretto and espresso?
A ristretto is a condensed, ″shorter″ form of an espresso; since it uses less water, the finished product is a more concentrated coffee beverage. The ristretto will be anywhere from 15 to 25 milliliters in volume, depending on the regulations of the café or barista. As a result of the ristretto shot’s little size, the majority of coffee shops opt to provide only double ristretto shots.
What espresso does Starbucks use?
- A combination of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans is used to prepare the espresso that is sold at Starbucks.
- A longer amount of time is spent roasting the coffee beans, which results in the coffee having a deeper color and a more robust flavor.
- On the other hand, there are many who contend that the espresso sold at Starbucks is not authentic espresso since it is not brewed entirely from Arabica beans.
Is Blonde espresso less bitter?
Now, in comparison to Starbucks’ other espresso blend, the new Blonde Espresso is quite comparable. Because it has a lighter roast, it is less bitter than the other espresso blend. Because of this, it is an option that can be enjoyed by anybody and everyone, including those who don’t particularly care for bitter coffee.
Is Blonde espresso healthier?
The nutritional information for the blonde espresso has not yet been published by Starbucks; however, when compared to a dark roast, a black blonde roast coffee reveals that the new espresso is likely to have approximately 28 percent more caffeine as well. This indicates that you should give additional shots of espresso less consideration before ordering them.

In a vote of confidence, Sony announced it will push back its Kevin James-starrer “Zookeeper” from Oct. 8 to a more robust summer slot on July 8, 2011.
Studio recently held a research screening of “Zookeeper” with positive reactions, hoping the film will “be a big compliment to our summer,” said Sony distrib topper Rory Bruer.
Produced by Broken Road Prods and Happy Madison, with Kevin James and Todd Garner producing and Jeff Sussman exec producing, “Zookeeper” tells the story of a lonely employee (James) who begins to hear romantic advice from the caged animals at the zoo. Sandler, Sylvestor Stallone, Cher and Jon Favreau voice the animals in the pic.
Frank Coraci, who previously directed Sandler in “Click” and “The Wedding Singer,” helmed the live-action project.
“Zookeeper” marks the latest film in a string of projects between Sony, James and Sandler. MGM originally bought the “Zookeeper” spec for $2 million but agreeded to let Sony handle global distribution in light of its financial restructuring. MGM will remain a partner on the film.
Sony last reteamed with James and Happy Madison on the 2009 box office hit, “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” which, despite being critically panned, went on to gross $146 million at the domestic box office. “Blart” was arguably the biggest B.O. surprise of 2009.
And this summer auds will be able to watch Sandler and James in Sony’s adult camp laffer, “Grown Ups,” which also stars Chris Rock and David Spade.
Directed by Dennis Dugan (“I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry”), “Grown Ups” opens nationwide June 25.

In the perspective of URB, the Dubai-based company that is in charge of its development, THE PARKS could set a new standard for ecological urban living, becoming Africa's largest sustainable and self-sufficient city.
To address environmental challenges (such as pollution, water scarcity, energy production and food security) the developers have imagined a completely self-sufficient, zero-net city.
THE PARKS will be an example, they say, of how cities can be designed to be in balance with theenvironment, ensuring a sustainable future for future generations.
An interesting project in the global context
The growth of the urban population represents a significant challenge for our future. Currently 60% of the world's population lives in cities, but estimates say that this percentage will increase up to 85% by 2100.
Cities are responsible for 70% of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming, mainly due to transport based on polluting energy sources.
To avoid all the problems related to overcrowding (which will also affect much of Africa, which will be a real urban and demographic revelation in this century), it is important that urban planners find innovative solutions. THE PARKS can be an extraordinary experiment in this direction, that of a more self-sufficient future.
Water, food, greenery, energy
Water scarcity will be a bigger and bigger problem for many cities in the future. According to forecasts, by 2050 the number of large cities facing this challenge will increase from 193 to 284.
Same thing for the food supply chain, or for the energy supply chain, or for green spaces: all key factors threatened by overcrowding and climate changes. And these are precisely the "critical" starting points around which the creation of a self-sufficient (or nearly so) city was conceived.
The self-sufficient city of the future
"THE PARKS" promises to be a sustainable oasis for 150.000 residents. On an area of 1700 hectares (4.200 acres) 40.000 housing units will be built, designed to produce by themselves all their energy, food and water that its inhabitants need.
It will be a car-free, carbon-free city that can only be traveled on foot or with small electric shuttles to connect the various neighborhoods together.
Urban food production will replace imports, with cutting-edge methods such as indoor vertical farming, beehives, sustainable poultry farming and biosaline agriculture. Renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, will power the city with an intelligent grid that will manage energy distribution. Solar power will also produce the city's water through the air-water technology.
The planning, construction and maintenance of the city will create more than 40.000 jobs, predominantly in the sustainable technology sector.
Is this the right way?
I couldn't tell you. This will be an era of many attempts at sustainable building and urban planning. Especially in the Middle East, where projects like The Line they will also explore radical (and potentially catastrophic) avenues.

A case of a Peptic Ulcer
A peptic ulcer is part and parcel of hyper acidity. It is not always easy to diagnose as it is a different case from that of Dudenel ulcer which is part of an excessive of gas. There is a severe pain in the stomach with Duodenal ulcers where as there is a severe burning pain in the stomach and the chest in the Peptic ulcer…
I had a case of a young person named Jimmy who came to my clinic with the complaint of stomach pain. He had taken medicines from two doctors but the pain was still there. With the second doctor it was alright as far as the medicines were taken. But after taking the medicines for about three weeks, the pain resumed as before.
The doctor told Jimmy that there was a swelling in his stomach.
I checked his stomach and while pressing, he complained of a pain. If there was pain, perhaps it would be due to gas. I asked him about the type of pain; whether it was itching or burning where the pain was burning. The burning increased if he had an empty stomach. Even after taking any chilies or sour items, the burning increased. He could hardly take red chillies or lemon juice. Even tomatoes bothered him. He definitely had a swelling in his stomach but was it due to Peptic Ulcer? The previous treatment had been given for a Gastric problem. He had had this problem for a long time. His hyper-acidity overlooked turned out to be Peptic Ulcer.
First of all, I asked him to have very simple diet. No Chilies, sour or fried items. He should even avoid salt and use sindhav instead, as salt would not allow his ulcer to heal quickly.
He should take plenty of goat’s milk and sweet fruits only.
I prescribed him with the following medicines;
Kamdhdha Rasa 2-2-2 tablets with milk, to help him cool down his burning issue.
Jethimath powder 2 spoons three times a day with milk, for healing of the said ulcer.
Sankhvati 2-2-2 after food, to help ease digestion and to control gas…
Kumari Asav two table spoons with Sankhvati, to remove pain and help digestion.
The first course was for 15 days where Jimmy reported feeling better. I repeated the course for another 15 days this time Shivaxar Churna to be taken at night for stomach cleaning. I also prescribed Agnitundi Vati- 2 tablets twice a day for pain relief.
And after another 15 days Jimmy felt much better. There was slight burning pain but he was looking fresher and more active day by day. Previously he used to get tired on a little work and while walking even a short distance. Now he could easily walk for a kilometer twice a day and he had the energy to manage his business. But I advised him to take enough rest while he was on medical treatment for a second month, and then I reduced his medication in half.
The third month, I found him in quite good condition. I did not prescribe any medicines but maintained his diet control.
And by the end of third month I allowed him to take his usual food but chillies in limitation, no tomatoes or oil fried vegetables. He should continue taking goat milk to the end of the sixth month. But if he needed to eat some chilli, sour or oily foods at times, he should continue taking cold goat’s milk, as goat’s milk itself is the best cure of Peptic Ulcer.
And when Jimmy came to my clinic for another ailment after a year, he was perfectly alright with acidity. He used to take all sorts of foods with chillies in limit but he insisted on using goat milk.

Cheap and cheery little curtain to brighten up my dull and boring little toilet. It is the one that visitors use so wanted to make it a little bit more colourful.
$2 remnant (main fabric) from my favourite shop – Vinnies, and bought the rust backing fabric from Lincraft ($14). The style of the main fabric is not usually the type that I would normally buy, but I loved its kitsch factor and the colours work perfectly with the border tiles in the laundry next door that visitors would use to wash their hands in.

TOKYO • Japan is preparing to acquire precision air-launched missiles that for the first time would give it the capability to strike North Korean missile sites, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.
Tokyo plans to put money aside in its next defence budget starting April to study whether its F-15 fighters could launch longer-range missiles, including Lockheed Martin's extended-range Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, which can hit targets 1,000km away, said one of the sources.
"There is a global trend for using longer-range missiles and it is only natural that Japan would want to consider them," he said. The sources asked to remain anonymous.
Japan is also interested in buying the 500km-range Joint Strike Missile designed by Norway's Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace to be carried by the F-35 stealth fighter, Fuji Television reported earlier.
Neither of those two items is included in a 5.26 trillion yen (S$63 billion) budget request already submitted by Japan's Ministry of Defence. However, additional funds would be made available to evaluate the purchase of these missiles, the sources said.
The change suggests that the growing threat posed by North Korean ballistic missiles has given proponents of a strike capability the upper hand in military planning.
Any decision to buy longer-range weapons capable of striking North Korea or even the Chinese mainland would therefore be controversial, but proponents argue that the strike weapons can play a defensive role.
Restrictions on strike weapons imposed by its war-renouncing Constitution mean Japan's missile force is composed of anti-aircraft and anti-ship munitions with ranges of less than 300km.
Any decision to buy longer-range weapons capable of striking North Korea or even the Chinese mainland would therefore be controversial, but proponents argue the strike weapons can play a defensive role.
"We are not looking at funding for this," Japanese Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera said yesterday at a regular press briefing. "We rely on the United States to strike enemy bases and are not looking at making any changes to how we share our roles," he added.
Meanwhile, senior United Nations official Jeffrey Feltman arrived in Pyongyang yesterday for a rare visit aimed at defusing soaring tensions over North Korea's nuclear weapons programme.

Neil Young had previously reached out to Spotify and directed them to delete his music from the streaming service due to their partnership with Joe Rogan. Young has now backtracked, deleting his letter, and seemingly giving up his battle over Rogan. In a now-deleted letter posted on his website on Monday (24 January), the 76-year-old singer had expressed his displeasure of Spotify’s partnership with Rogan and his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, which according to Young, is spreading “false information” regarding vaccines.
Neil Young takes a shot at Joe Rogan
Addressing his management team at LookoutManagement and Warner Bros, Young wrote: “Please immediately inform Spotify that I am actively canceling all my music availability on Spotify as soon as possible.” I am doing this because Spotify is spreading false information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them,” he wrote.
“Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the schedule,” the letter added. “I want you to let Spotify know immediately today that I want all of my music off their platform.” “They can have Rogan or Young. Not both,” he said.
Neil Young deleted the letter
Neil Young has now deleted his letter on his website giving Spotify an ultimatum to remove Joe Rogan, or remove his music. Previously, the long-tenured UFC commentator, Rogan had discouraged young people from getting vaccinated.
Rogan was also previously involved in a controversy as he had promoted the concept of taking deworming medication Ivermectin to treat the virus, without providing any medical evidence supporting it. Young is not the first individual to be overtly critical of Rogan’s content as last month nearly 300 doctors, healthcare professionals, and scientists signed an open letter requesting that Spotify poliment a policy that deals in misinformation due to Rogan’s ‘concerning history’. It should be noted, however, that the entertainer has stated he should not be regarded as a source for scientific advice. “I’m not a doctor,” he said. “I’m not a respected source of information, even for me.”

Why you want to become a biohacker: Rodrigo Martinez at TEDxBeaconStreet
Imagine living in a building that was not constructed, but ‘grown;’ or imagine designing your own shirt, printing it while you take a shower and recycling it at night…every day.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — Erie County Clerk Michael Kearns has lost his fight against the Green Light Law.
In a lawsuit naming Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General Letitia James and DMV Commissioner Mark Schroeder as defendants, Kearns argued that the law, which allows undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver’s license, compels him to violate his oath of office.
Previously, the County Clerk said “I put my hand on our family Bible and took an oath of office that I would uphold the constitutions of the state and federal governments. Because New York State doesn’t like the President’s immigration policies, they have made County Clerks across the state a cog in a legislative scheme to ensure it’s impossible for them to uphold their oath of office. I’m happy to stand up for the solemn promise that every elected official makes.”
The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reviewed Kearns’ arguments about the law, but found them “to be without merit.”
“Because compliance with the state law would not expose Kearns to a credible threat of prosecution under federal law, the judgement of the District Court is affirmed,” the document detailing the decision said.

New York Attorney General Letitia James released the following statement after the court’s decision:
The Green Light law is legal and enforceable, and today’s decision marks the third federal court to dismiss challenges brought seeking to enjoin the law. This law provides protections to all New Yorkers by making our roads safer, growing our economy, and allowing immigrants to come out of the shadows to sign up as legal drivers in our state. As the state’s attorney and chief law enforcement officer, I am proud to have vigorously defended this law and will continue to do so against all who oppose it.“New York Attorney General Letitia James

Almost 2 in 3 American adults are overweight, and 1 in 3 is obese.
Question: My overweight husband is on more than 15 medications. Every time he goes to the doctor he gets a new prescription. What can we do?
M.C., Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
Answer: In my years of practice I have found that any person unwilling to change his or her unhealthy diet and lifestyle will eventually need multiple medications to maintain health. This is particularly true as excess weight is gained. And we Americans are certainly doing that.
The findings of a U.S. government study, which were released last year and based on a survey conducted from 1999-2000, show that the “fat American” is more than a stereotype–he is a national health crisis. About 30 percent, or 1 in 3, of American adults are obese, compared with 23 percent in a previous survey conducted from 1988-1994. In addition, the percentage of Americans who are overweight climbed from 56 percent to 64 percent (almost 2 in 3) since the last survey.
Because of excess weight, eventually the blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar increase; the joints deteriorate; the heart weakens; and plaque builds up in arteries–leading to heart attacks and poor peripheral circulation. Anyone who is overweight and does not change his diet and lifestyle early enough in the disease process is going to require multiple medications to keep his body functioning.
Taking more medications is complicated by the fact that people differ immensely in how they metabolize and eliminate drugs. A 1998 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that side effects to medications were the No. 4 cause of death in America.
It may be helpful to understand that doctors consult the Physicians’ Desk Reference to get their information about drugs. Unfortunately, many doctors, pressed by increasing workloads, rely heavily on pharmaceutical reps for additional drug information. They simply don’t have time to learn nutritional medicine.
I have been fortunate to add nutritional medicine to my specialty, and I am able to get many patients off most of their medications if they first are willing to change their diets and lifestyles. In fact, I started writing my Bible Cure series so I could provide natural solutions for medications and help people learn about alternatives.
Your husband must be weaned off his medications while under the care of
a physician. The natural approach has significantly fewer side effects.
Question: I have elevated ultrasensitive C-reactive protein levels and am taking Lipitor. Will taking a natural supplement help?
E.L., Orlando, Florida
Answer: C-reactive protein (CRP) is an indicator of inflammation somewhere in the body. Long-term elevation of it is associated with arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Much of coronary artery disease is a chronic inflammatory process in the arterial walls. If your ultrasensitive CRP is elevated, it is critically important that you take steps to lower it.
Limit or eliminate foods high in arachidonic acid such as red meat, eggs, whole milk, cheese, butter and ice cream, as well as fried foods. Also eliminate or reduce hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats such as margarine, hardened vegetable oils, cookies, cakes and pies. Decrease polyunsaturated fats such as most salad dressings, as well as corn, safflower, sunflower and soybean oils. Instead use extra-virgin olive oil and vinegar or macadamia-nut oil.
Also avoid foods high in processed sugar. Choose healthy alternatives such as whole-grain wheat products.
Important supplements include pharmaceutical-grade nonrancid fish oil capsules–approximately 1,000 mg (milligrams)–one capsule three times a day. Physicians commonly treat ultrasensitive CRP with cholesterol-lowering medications such as Lipitor, yet many patients with elevated CRPs have a bacterial infection that goes undetected for years as coronary artery disease progresses.

Mosquitoes are nasty pests—they buzz in our ears, produce itchy bites, and can ruin a lovely evening outdoors. What’s worse, mosquitoes can transmit dangerous and life-threatening heartworm infections to our pets. The good news, however, is that heartworm infection and disease is easily and affordably preventable. April is National Heartworm Awareness Month, so your Palm City Animal Medical Center team is here to share their wealth of knowledge that will keep your pet safe from heartworm disease.
Heartworm life cycle and transmission in pets
Heartworms are parasitic worms that grow up to a foot long, and live in the heart, lungs, and surrounding blood vessels of dogs, wolves, foxes, and coyotes. They can live in other mammals as well, including cats, but because these are not ideal hosts, they don’t allow full life cycle completion. Adult worms will mate inside the host and produce microfilariae (i.e., tiny immature worms) that circulate in the bloodstream, where mosquitoes can pick them up while feeding. The immature worms stay in the mosquito for 10 to 14 days, move to the mosquito’s mouthparts, and are then deposited on their next host’s skin when the mosquito feeds. The microfilariae migrate through tissues, mature in the lung blood vessels in about six months, mate, and then start the life cycle over again. Adult worms can live five to seven years in dogs and two to three years in cats.
How heartworms affect pets
Heartworms affect dogs and cats differently, since dogs are natural hosts and cats are not. Dogs may host anywhere from 30 to several hundred worms, because the worms are long-lived and able to reproduce inside the host. Large worm burdens typically lead to more severe signs, and more complicated treatment, but any number of heartworms can cause lasting heart and lung damage. In the early stages, dogs with heartworm infection may not show signs, but in the later stages, signs include:
- Exercise intolerance
- Decreased appetite and weight loss
- Fluid accumulation in the abdomen (i.e., ascites)
- Heart failure
- Caval syndrome (i.e., sudden collapse and death when heartworms fully block heart arteries)
Cats tend to harbor only one to six worms, because immature worms cannot reproduce, and often die before reaching adulthood. Worms that do reach maturity in cats can cause significant respiratory system damage, which is termed heartworm-associated respiratory disease (HARD). Heartworm signs in cats mimic other diseases, and may include:
- Coughing or wheezing
- Vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss
- Fainting or seizures
- Difficulty breathing or panting
- Sudden death
How heartworm disease is treated in pets
Once heartworms are detected, treatment should commence as soon as possible, to minimize ongoing damage from the adult worms. Treatment for dogs usually involves several injections, over the course of multiple months, of an arsenic-derived medication injected deep into the muscles around the spine. The injections are painful, and your pet needs hospitalization that day. When heartworms die, they can cause life-threatening clots in the lungs, or allergic reactions, so medications such as steroids often are given for the treatment duration, and your pet’s activity level must be severely restricted to prevent these complications.
The drug that kills adult heartworms in dogs isn’t safe for cats, so no treatment is possible for cats. Cats may be treated for respiratory inflammation and associated symptoms during the worms’ lifespan, and closely monitored with periodic X-rays and bloodwork, but only some cats are lucky enough to survive heartworm infection. Heartworm-positive cats should be started on a monthly preventive to ensure they cannot be infected by new heartworms.
Heartworm disease prevention and testing in pets
Heartworm treatment can be expensive and painful for your dog, and isn’t an option for cats. Instead of waiting for heartworms to infect your pet and cause irreparable damage to their heart and lungs, prevent infection altogether with monthly prevention products. These products, which are available for dogs and cats in oral, topical, and injectable formulas, work by killing the microfilariae before they mature into adults, are highly effective, and are a much better alternative than heartworm treatment.
Heartworm testing is a key part of a preventive strategy, as well. Adult dogs previously not on a preventive should first be tested, as heartworm-positive dogs can, rarely, have a serious reaction to a preventive. Puppies younger than 7 months can start preventives without a test, since they aren’t old enough to have adult heartworms. All dogs should be tested yearly for heartworms, including those on monthly preventives. Because of the time heartworms take to reach adulthood and become detectable, dogs who weren’t previously on preventives should be tested every six months for one year, and then yearly.
Cats suspected of having heartworm disease may be screened with a blood test checking for adult and immature heartworms, which can be harder to detect in cats. Imaging with X-rays and ultrasound may also be necessary to confirm diagnosis.
Heartworm disease can be devastating for your pet, but you can easily prevent this infection with monthly medication from your veterinarian. If your pet is due for their annual wellness visit and heartworm test, or you’d like to learn more about the disease and get your pet started on a heartworm prevention plan, contact us to make an appointment with your Palm City Animal Medical Center team.

A school student charged with helping her father kill her mother was agreed to testify against him as part of a plea bargain.
Karrie Neurauter, 20, says she drove her dad Lloyd Neurauter, 45, to her mother’s home in Corning, New York on August 27 and disconnected electronic devices in the home to conceal his presence.
While Lloyd strangled his ex-wife, 46-year-old Michele Neurauter, Karrie maintains she distracted her 14-year-old sister.
She then helped him create the scene look like a suicide and lied to police.
Scroll down to movie
Karrie Neurauter pleaded guilty to second-degree murder from Steuben County, New York court on Wednesday. She’s pictured previously leaving court this week
The former confessed to helping her dad, Lloyd, 45, murder her mother, Michele, 46 (pictured), in August
Neurauter pleaded guilty Wednesday in Steuben County, New York court to second-degree murder in exchange for a recommended sentence of 15 years to life.
Another charges levied against her are also dropped. Those included first-degree custodial interference, tampering with physical signs and gallop conspiracy.
The Rochester Institute of Technology computer technology student says her dad gave her the ultimatum in mid-August – stating she could help him kill her mother or he would commit suicide.
She says he wanted to finish his child support and alimony obligations and receive custody of his youngest child.
Steuben County District Attorney Brooks Baker said they consider Karrie’s story because she passed a polygraph test.
Karrie (left) explained her daddy (right) gave her an ultimatum – aid him kill his ex-wife or else he would commit suicide
She says she did not physically help kill her mother, but drove daddy to her mom’s house (pictured) and distracted her little sister during the offense
The father and daughter were detained in January – five months following Michele’s murder. Karrie was detained at her home in Syracuse, New York. Lloyd was detained in Princeton, New Jersey following a dramatic confrontation with police where he threatened to jump off a five-story garage.
Lloyd Neurauter is currently in jail awaiting his trial, which is supposed to begin on September 24.
He has pleaded not guilty to several charges such as first-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder, first-degree burglary, first-degree wreak havoc, tampering with physical signs, caked conspiracy, second-degree unlawful solicitation, endangering the welfare of a child and offering a false instrument for filing.
When convicted, Lloyd confronts the potential for life in prison without parole.


An issue with the antilock brake system has prompted the latest recall from Stellantis of over 270,900 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs.
Related: More Recall News
The recall affects model-year 2018-19 Durangos and Grand Cherokees. A malfunction in the ABS module may illuminate the brake lights and allow the vehicle to start and shift out of Park without the brake pedal being applied. This could result in a rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Stellantis has not yet worked out a remedy, but owners will be notified July 22. Those with further questions in the meantime can call the automaker at 800-853-1403, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.

Sabina Savage's New Couture
Sabina Savage's astonishingly detailed pocket squares are a chance to carry around a truly unique work of art on your chest. The Rake finds out how this British designer infuses old luxury with new ideas.
“Once the basic story is complete, I build my mood board to illustrate it as best I can,” Sabina Savage – founder of her eponymous luxury accessories brand – tells us, explaining her procedure for designing scarves and pocket squares. “This mood board sits in front of me throughout the entire design process, so it’s a very crucial part of the process.” Which gets us thinking, what would a mood board for the brand itself look like? A collage of Sabina Savage the brand would essentially scan like the history of Sabina Savage the woman – so central is her artistry to the company’s offering. Sabina spent her childhood riding horses in Somerset, surrounded by animals in her “very rural” environment. This goes some way to explaining why animals are such a prominent theme in her designs. She was interested in art and design from a young age, but when she left school none of the courses at London universities felt like a good fit. Happily, the prestigious École supérieure des arts et techniques de la mode (ESMOD, for short) in Paris was running its Nouvelle Couture course, which – in contrast to London with its focus on lightning-quick creativity – gave students much more time and supervision in order for them to truly hone their craft. “We focused on a lot of specialist couture techniques and spent weeks to months at a time on each garment. I have never been interested in creating fast fashion, so I think the experience of dedicating an entire term to one garment has helped me to realise that my strengths lie in the detail.” Nouvelle Couture means new couture – this is an epithet which could equally well describe the work Sabina Savage does today. The brand’s output is of the same quality you would expect from a Parisian atelier, using time-honoured techniques and skills cultivated through diligent study and practice. Yet, at the same time, the products feel undeniably new, allowing their wearer to incorporate the elegance of traditional haute couture into even the most contemporary of stylistic ensembles. Despite not speaking a word of French when she moved to Paris, Sabina graduated as Valedictorian of her year group. It was a sign of things to come. Jobs soon followed at Gareth Pugh and Alexander McQueen. Names, we can’t help but notice, are quite different to those that now stock her products (Harrod’s, William & Son, and Harvey Nichols, to mention a few). However, this contrast makes complete sense when looking at her designs – which fuse the high-fashion creativity of labels like McQueen with the commitment to quality and artisanship of heritage brands like William & Son.
Furthermore, working for herself brings its own advantages. “I think one of the key differences with my work now, is that I have complete control over the product from concept to shop floor, and this just isn’t possible for the larger labels,” Sabina explains. “My team is very small, so I personally go to visit my factory in Como, Italy four to five times per year. We sit down together and discuss fabrics for the next season, plus any ways we can improve the product.” In the same way that Sabina’s ESMOD course gave her the time and space to nurture her talents organically, being a small brand with a focus on printing intricate designs onto simple scarves and pocket squares has given Sabina the opportunity to find her own unique position in the world of fashion. “I have been allowed to find my niche, rather than needing to adhere to current or future trends.” Untrammelled by the hype and hysteria that so often hounds her creative kin, Sabina has been able to connect to her natural customers, to those who appreciate both her conceptual genius and the level of quality control that being a small brand affords. “My customer is someone who appreciates the fabrics and luxury finishings, but ultimately connects with the themes, prints and colours.” Turning to the products themselves, you wouldn’t be surprised to hear that it can take up to six weeks to design a single scarf or pocket square. Sabina’s illustrations are vivid and vibrant, the subject matter ranges from the very quaint (see her Coronation Corgis, rumoured to have been gifted to the Queen) to the very exotic (think more along the lines of Tipu Sultan’s private zoo), but they always tell a story. “My creative process always starts with constructing the collection story, and the rest follows from there. I usually have an idea or a theme I’m intrigued by, and I’ll then visit museums, libraries and galleries to flesh out the theme.” This meticulous research finds its expression in the sheer level of detail – both aesthetic and narrative – that characterises Sabina’s designs. The coloured print is actually laid underneath the pencilled illustrations so that this intricacy is preserved. The result is beautifully depicted creatures in some very unusual situations. Thus we have a panther remonstrating with a flamingo, a Paradise Flycatcher removing a Great Dane’s armour, and a trio of pheasants carrying the Sultan’s dagger to battle. Usually, Sabina will always try to fit in a little of what she loves – “in my case, this is birds and feathers, big cats and hares”. And there’s always the element of drama; her animals are endowed with an unmistakable sense of life and movement.
This movement often comes in the form of escape: the creatures seem almost to be freeing themselves of their material bounds and actually coming into a life of their own. A conscious metaphor for Sabina striking out on her own, perhaps, beyond the confines of a major fashion brand? Alas not. “I actually only noticed this recurring theme a few years into the brand. I don’t think this is so much a reflection on my personal feelings, but rather guilt about the impact of mankind on the animal kingdom. Many of my stories are of animals reclaiming their habitats or escaping from human captivity, and all are a celebration of the animal itself.” Looking at one of Sabina’s pocket squares laid out flat, one has the feeling one is looking at a work of art from a bygone era, a Baroque tapestry or a Renaissance painting perhaps. This fact is not lost on the designer. “I think the fact that the drawings are so intensely detailed aligns them with a more traditional style of working. However, my inspirations are usually a mixture of ancient and contemporary themes, so this probably helps to balance the two.” This returns us again to that idea of nouvelle couture, of a happy marriage between old and new. It’s a union that we think is going to appeal perfectly to readers of The Rake, we therefore strongly encourage you to check out our range of Sabina Savage pocket squares. And don’t worry about the fact that only a fraction of the whole design will actually be on display on your chest. As Sabina points out, this will work in your favour by showcasing a new colour and detail – “a flash of leopard print or the tail of a pheasant” – each time you wear it, adding an element of intrigue to your look.

Michael Jordan's Impressive Rim Finishes Can Fill a 9-Minute Video
Sometimes there are shots around the basket that are far more impressive than dunks.
Michael Jordan made a habit of exploiting anything defenses threw at him by quickly readjusting and somehow managing to put the perfect amount of English on the ball to make the shot drop.
LeBron, Kobe and a handful of other superstars can finish well at the rim, but is there anyone whose entire résumé of these types of shots is as complete as MJ's?

Choice quotes from Mayor Vincent Gray on campaign corruption
Pulled some choice quotes from Mayor Vincent Gray's press briefing Wednesday morning, the day after friend and former contributor Jeanne Clark Harris admitted in federal court to a playing major role in an unreported, shadow campaign for Gray during the 2010 race for mayor.
Reporter: "Do you expect to finish your term?"
Gray: "I have no plans to do otherwise."
And these from Gray:
"If you recall I was one of those who called for an investigation in the first place. And there have been at least three investigations thus far."
"I’ve known Jeanne for a very long time. I feel very badly about this. But at the same time I’m concerned what may or may not have happened in this campaign and certainly the appearance of what may have happened."
"I invite you ... to take a look at what this administration has done. That’s why I wanted to make a distinction between the campaign, which we know there are issues with, and governing."
"When we officially kicked it off it was April, almost May 2010, for a primary that took place in September. We started with nothing obviously. I really thought from my perspective we had raised a substantial sum of money during that campaign."
“This was not the campaign we intended to run. I have said to many, many people I got into this for the right reasons."
“I probably could have stayed on as Council Chair or done nothing further, and I got out there to be involved in this because I love the District of Columbia. I’m a native Washingtonian. I’m a product of the schools. I’m a product in almost every way. Not to be redundant, but I got into this for the right reasons.”

ANN ARBOR, MI - Police Chief Michael Cox is set to return to work Monday, March 2, under various conditions set by the city administrator and with lingering disagreements over the circumstances and nature of his administrative leave.
Outgoing Ann Arbor City Administrator Howard Lazarus has ordered Cox’s reinstatement, effective Monday, with conditions that include meeting with officers and union representatives to apologize for any misunderstandings and poor communication.
“Chief Cox would benefit from more direct and positive contact with the sworn officers, the Community Standards Officers, and administrative staff,” Lazarus wrote in a memo reinstating Cox, dated Feb. 27.
Cox was placed on administrative leave Feb. 7 over allegations he created a hostile work environment and wielded undue influence on investigations into officers improperly voiding parking tickets.
Other conditions of his reinstatement include training on the city’s policies related to voiding traffic tickets and personnel complaints.
“Although I have the authority to issue a suspension, I am not taking that action given the extenuating circumstance that I will not be the City Administrator after February 29, 2020,” Lazarus wrote. “It would be unfair to the Interim City Administrator, AAPD, and City Council for me to impose a suspension without my having the opportunity to personally work with Chief Cox in the aftermath.”
After several months of tension with City Council, Lazarus was fired Feb. 18 in a 7-4. His termination takes effect Saturday.
Lazarus and Cox have disagreed on the nature of the administrative leave and the timing of the disclosure of the allegations against the chief.
Cox and his attorney Nick Roumel have said the chief wasn’t notified of the accusations against him until nearly two weeks after he was placed on leave.
Lazarus disputes that, saying he told the chief on Feb. 7 why he was placing him on administrative leave. He said he raised “specific concerns” made by employees during a meeting.
“He knew,” Lazarus said, adding he was given information on Thursday, Feb. 6 that finalized his administrative leave decision. “He didn’t know when he came in to talk to me, because he was in Grand Rapids the day before.”
Roumel, who started representing Cox shortly after the administrative leave was announced, said the allegations against his client were relayed to them in the middle of the investigation, rather than at the start.
“I would’ve liked better notice of what he was accused of before the investigation started,” Roumel said. “It unfolded to us during the investigation.”
The investigation, conducted by outside firm Miller Canfield, revealed that a police lieutenant conducted two separate investigations into parking officials dismissing tickets, including a supervisor who ordered a parking officer to void a ticket outside of city policy. The lieutenant, as well as other police department and city staff, alleged that Cox tried to sway the lieutenant’s investigation toward a result that didn’t lead to disciplining the supervisor, according to the report.
Lazarus also accused Cox of insubordination during the course of the investigation, saying the chief attempted to talk to officers in violation of an order made in the administrative leave notification. Cox contended that he heard he was on leave through different means, and that he tried to speak with his deputy chiefs to discover the reasons why.
“Candidly, I did not read the letter placing me on administrative leave until I had already violated its conditions,” Cox said in a response to the investigation report. “I was willing to obey that directive, but suffered a lapse in judgment facilitated over my profound confusion... over the City Administrator’s decision."
Roumel argues said that administrative leave was an unnecessary action taken against Cox.
“Administrative leave was not warranted during this investigation,” he said. “They could’ve done an investigation about subordinates’ concerns without putting him on leave, but that’s a disagreement between us and the city.”
Cox in his response to the report called the administrative leave a suspension.
“Leadership requires trust with a strong understanding of procedural justice,” Cox wrote. “Respectfully, suspending the Chief of Police over these allegations before I had a chance to respond, undermines that trust and unfairly calls into question my leadership."
Lazarus called the characterization a “misstatement,” saying administrative leave is not a punitive action, according to the city’s human resources policy.
“The use of Administrative Leave to provide the ‘space’ for a fair and respectful investigation is consistent with the Human Resources Policy,” Lazarus wrote in his memo on Cox’s job status. “Administrative Leave is not by definition punitive in nature and does not trigger the requirements of Section 12.12 of the City Charter.”
Those requirements would have included notifying City Council of a suspension.
City Council, which unanimously voted to appoint Cox in July 2019, was not informed of the specific allegations against the chief until Friday, Feb. 21, two weeks after the administrative leave started.
Lazarus acknowledged that he was aware of the “short-term” consequences of the unexplained administrative leave, including potential damage to perceptions of the chief and the city,
“You have to look at the long-term outcomes,” he said, “to make sure the chief and the city can be successful (going forward).”
Roumel said he had constructive conversations with Lazarus and City Council in the aftermath of the investigations, adding that the city should review its administrative leave policies “to clarify what the nature of the leave is.”
The Miller Canfield report concluded that Cox ordered the lieutenant to conduct two investigations into voiding parking tickets, did not actively retaliate or take adverse action towards any employee and that he has the right as chief to request investigation updates. However, the firm warned that comments he made toward the lieutenant “would understandably make the employee fearful.”
The report cited an example in which Cox told the lieutenant a story about a child playing with matches, and related that to another story about an officer accusing the Boston police chief of corruption. Cox worked in the Boston Police Department for more than 30 years before taking the job in Ann Arbor last summer.
“The Lieutenant had no idea what the Chief was driving at,” the report stated, “and wondered if he was saying that she was accusing him of something or that she was playing with fire by continuing the investigation.”
Miller Canfield did not offer a recommendation on Cox’s future, but said the investigation wasn’t about just one person’s accusations.
“If the Chief is allowed to return from leave, it will be imperative to understand that this investigation was not instigated by one or two people," Miller Canfield said in the report, "but by a number of people, in a number of different positions, who had similar, credible, and often admitted, experiences with the Chief.”
Cox in his response noted that he did not intend to interfere in any investigation, but acknowledged problems with his communication style.
"I must painfully acknowledge that my words and actions during the parking investigations were not clearly communicated, that my subordinate was affected, and that the concerns were brought to Human Resources,” Cox wrote.
“... I’m new to the job and was candidly unaware that my management style was perceived negatively by some employees. Some of this discontent obviously goes with the job; but this observation goes only so far. I commit to becoming more sensitive to the concerns of my subordinates, and not only encourage but also insist that members of the Ann Arbor Police Department feel free, safe, and inspired to state their concerns about me and the department so that they may be addressed productively and openly. I completely respect the fact that I simply cannot transpose my Boston experience perfectly into the important work you have entrusted to me, and will work to create a new path in Ann Arbor.”
At least one parking officer was fired after the investigation into voiding tickets.
Another condition of Cox’s reinstatement requires the chief to “demonstrate his support of the ICPOC (Independent Community Police Oversight Commission) through his regular attendance at and participation in the Commission’s meetings,” Lazarus wrote in his memo.
“He should provide a Chief’s update at every ICPOC meeting, in which he discusses items of importance to ICPOC members. The Chair and Vice Chair of the should support the Chief in this requirement.”
According to the Miller Canfield report, Cox, while being interviewed during the investigation, expressed confusion over the existence of any oversight of his department.
“(Cox) initially denied knowing about any oversight, then acknowledged that there was a Commission but thought that it was brand new and hadn’t really done anything,” the report stated. “Upon further questioning, the Chief acknowledged awareness of the Independent Community Policy Oversight Commission, but thought that the only way anything would become public was through a FOIA request.”
Lisa Jackson, the commission’s chair, said Friday she wasn’t concerned with Cox’s comments, believing the chief simply misspoke. She said Cox, or Deputy Chief Jason Forsberg in his place, consistently attends commission meetings.
“I have been on record since before my arrival to have acknowledged ICPOC’s importance and critical role in providing independent oversight of the Ann Arbor Police Department and will continue to do so going forward,” Cox said in his response to the investigation report.
Jackson said she was unclear why Miller Canfield mentioned the commission in the report. The report pointed out that the commission is authorized to review police actions, including internal investigations, in accordance with city ordinance.
Jackson found the point confusing, as the commission wasn’t informed of the allegations into Cox until Tuesday, Feb. 24, 17 days after Cox was placed on administrative leave by City Administrator Howard Lazarus.
“We’re not involved in police discipline,” she said. “We are not involved in any of the facts of the case. I found it odd we were even mentioned.
“Howard Lazarus put the chief on leave and didn’t tell City Council, and certainly not us, why."

For more than a decade, Amigos en Azul’s "Shop with a Cop" has touched the lives of thousands of children. The program pairs up an Austin police officer with a child to help pick out Christmas gifts they may not otherwise get.
The idea is to help kids get to know officers on a more personal level to show students the community cares.
“There's so much more to law enforcement -- we try to interact and make a difference and make a positive influence in their lives,” said senior officer Aaron Brown.
Brown has been part of Amigos en Azul for more than 10 years. He said the shopping spree offers a bridge to build bonds.
Officers and students meet one-on-one to shop for holiday gifts, and the tab is picked up entirely by "friends in blue."
Around 50 students were chosen for the program this year and each child was able to spend more than $100 in value for items either for themselves or for their loved ones.
Officers even volunteered to wrap the gifts, making the experience extra special.
"We just want to share our love and support for those who are in need,” Brown said.

A common question patients ask who are considering professional tooth whitening/bleaching is whether it damages the teeth. The answer is a resounding NO. The active ingredient in professional tooth bleaching products is either Carbamide Peroxide or Hydrogen Peroxide. It is the oxygen molecules that actually lighten the color of your teeth by both removing stain on the outside and lightening the internal color of the tooth.
The bleaching chemical is absorbed into your tooth and liberates oxygen which bleaches the tooth structure on the inside. This same chemical is also used to treat gum disease as it kills some of the bacteria that cause gingivitis and periodontal disease. It can even help prevent cavities. So contrary to hurting your teeth, it is actually beneficial to your overall dental health.
Excessive bleaching, which is the use of at home trays continuously over extended months or years can cause minor pitting to the enamel, but even this has been shown to be minor and easily reversible once bleaching is discontinued.
Tooth bleaching is not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing. At this tine we do not have enough information to confirm it is safe.

Currently patient delivery relies upon an unreliable system formed from poorly integrated and highly variable human parts. To deliver superior patient experiences, professionals need to make changes in what they do and how they do it. In addition, all caregivers must think of themselves as part of a team delivering care rather than a sole actor in a series of clinical handoffs.
Porter, Pabo, and Lee in an article in Health Affairs presented some very innovative ways to improve primary care delivery by a redesign of the all patient delivery care processes. Their approach focused on delivering value for patients as defined as “patient outcomes achieved relative to the amount of money spent.”
The current movement to value-based reimbursement requires a shift from care organized around fee-for-service transactional encounters and services to one that meets a “defined set of patient needs over a full care cycle.”
The authors identified five key areas to transform care. They are:
- Base primary care on patient needs
- Integrate delivery models by subgroup
- Measure value for each subgroup
- Align payment with value, and
- Integrate subgroup team and specialty care
Excerpts from: Working Collaboratively to Enhance the Patient Experience. Becker’s Hospital Review, October 5, 2015
Most patients might have naleviy thought that the reason for going to the ER in the first place might be carried throughout the extensive records that were created This is really an important concept, as too many patients might have figured that the issue with the arm was taken into account with all the tests, and the patient could have gone home, happily reassured and then could have been struck by disaster.The listening skills of both the patient and doctor are critical, but the imbalance of power in that relationship can mean the patient is intimidated into silence, or assumes all his questions have been answered.

An American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Doctor Strange, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled to be released in 2019. The film, which is being produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, is supposed to be the sequel to Doctor Strange (2016) and the 28th instalment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to the studio (MCU). Director Sam Raimi and writer Michael Waldron collaborated on the script for the picture, which stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange with Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, and Michael Stuhlbarg, as well as Rachel McAdams. Strange and his companions go on a journey across the universe in order to confront a strange new opponent in the flick.
Recently posted to twitter by Matt Ferguson was the following image showing an awesome Dr. Strange multiverse poster.
I’m super excited to have made exclusive poster art for Marvel Studio’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness. There’s only ever going to be 10 made & printed exclusively for ODEON Cinemas Group & their 9 Euro Markets.Matt Ferguson
Until October 2016, Scott Derrickson, the filmmaker and co-writer of Doctor Strange, had already begun planning a sequel. After it was established that Cumberbatch will return, he signed a contract to return as director in December 2018. A year ago, the title of the picture, as well as Olsen’s participation, were revealed. In October of that year, Jade Halley Bartlett was brought on board to write the script. As a result of creative conflicts, Derrickson stepped down as director in January 2020, with Waldron and Raimi joining the project the following month and beginning afresh. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2021, filming was put on hold until the end of November 2020 in London. Somerset began production in March 2021 and finished by the middle of April. Besides Surrey and Los Angeles, the filming took place in other locations.
In other news, according to Deadline, Disney/impending Marvel’s massive worldwide blockbuster Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will not be released in theatres in Saudi Arabia for the time being.
This comes on the heels of Marvel’s The Eternals being banned from Saudi Arabia due to the film’s same-gender coupling romance and the inclusion of the MCU’s first homosexual superhero, who was also banned from the country. Doctor Strange 2 has America Chavez (played by Xochitl Gomez), a character who is homosexual in the Marvel comics but is not gay in the film. It is common for films containing LGBTQ material to be rejected by censors in the Gulf.
