I am reading the memoir of music industry legend, Bob Thiele — producer at Coral Records who “discovered” Buddy Holly and would later work with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Albert Ayler, Joe Turner, Otis Spann, Gil Scott-Heron, and Bernard “Pretty” Purdie & the Playboys, among many other artists.
Funny Thiele didn’t mention having produced Jon Appleton‘s (highly) experimental album. The fact that “Chef D’Oeuvre” was released as a 45 delights me to no end:
“Chef d’Oeuvre” Jon Appleton 1969
Be sure to listen for the stereophonic loop of a Chef Boyardee jingle – a recurring motif.
45Cat’s Harvestman Man humorously observes: “If it’s possible for a record to actually get a negative number of plays on the radio, this would be a likely candidate … it is that weird.”
Thanks to Vintage Vinyl Revival for the liner notes to Appleton Syntonic Menagerie from which I take this excerpt:
“Labels, categories, boundary lines – the neat classifications separating musical experiences – are dissolving rapidly. Young musicians and listeners, brought up in a “global village” because of the pervasiveness of television, recordings, and transistor radios, refuse to be compressed by past conventions. The popular music of the present is, for example, a continually changing fusion of rock, country and wester, blues, Indian influenes, echoes of Appalachian ballads, jazz, rhythm and blues, and many other elements.
“Simultaneously, young composers – who, in another time, would have been called “classical” composers – are also probing, discovering, and transcending territorial markings of the past. Jon Howard Appleton, for example. Since 1967, he has been Director of the Electronic Music Studio at Dartmouth, where he is also Assistant Professor of Music. [This] The first album of his work – on Flying Dutchman – reveals the open-ended scope and resourcefulness of the new music as well as Appleton’s inventive singularity.”
Appleton would release one more LP for Flying Dutchman – a collaboration with Don Cherry, father of Neneh.

The occurrence of high blood pressure is rapidly growing in low-profits and center-profit nations (LMICs). However, estimates of fitness gadget performance in hypertension care from nationally representative studies in LMICs are sparse. To efficaciously goal interventions and reveal development in high blood pressure care, it is vital to decide united states unique deficiencies within the high blood pressure care continuum.
In this cross-sectional look, 192,441 patients with hypertension from 44 LMICs were evaluated to determine which ranges in the high blood pressure care cascade patients are misplaced and how these losses range among and within nations. Hypertension changed into described as systolic blood stress of at least a hundred and forty mm Hg, diastolic blood stress of as a minimum ninety mm Hg, or state use of medication for high blood pressure.
Researchers analyzed the hypertension cascade of care by way of computing the percentage of people who 1) had ever had their blood strain measured, 2) have been identified with high blood pressure, three) were handled for hypertension, and 4) had completed manage of their hypertension. Researchers located that seventy-three .6% of sufferers (ninety-five% CI seventy-two. 9% to 74.3%) had ever had their blood stress measured, 39.2% (ninety-five% CI 38.2% to 40.3%) had been recognized with high blood pressure, 29.Nine% (95% CI 28.6% to 31.Three%) obtained remedy for hypertension, and 10.Three% (95% CI nine.6% to 11.0%) achieved control in their high blood pressure.
Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean had the best share of people accomplishing each level of the hypertension care cascade, while sub-Saharan Africa had the lowest share. Bangladesh, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Kyrgyzstan, and Peru all executed considerably higher on all care cascade steps than anticipated, primarily based on GDP consistent with capita. Individuals who have been female, older, no longer currently smoke, and who had been in better quintiles for family wealth were more likely to reach every step of the high blood pressure care cascade. Additionally, being overweight or overweight was associated with a higher opportunity of attaining every cascade step in all regressions besides for the last step, from treatment to govern of blood strain.
This look became restrained with the aid of differences in how survey questions were translated into local languages. Low blood stress was measured, which might have been answerable for some of the variations discovered between countries and areas. Overall, this study underlines that centered interventions to improve high blood pressure care in LMICs are urgently wanted and identifies specific regions for possibility inside the high blood pressure care cascade in forty-four one-of-a-kind countries.

Over the past few weeks there have been several publications circulating reports around the web of heated rumors of Sony releasing a PlayStation 4.5 console, admittedly I have not taken these rumors seriously, that is until now.
It seems as though Sony the company that makes just about everything tech are expected to announce the PlayStation 4.5 prior to the launch of PlayStation VR which will take place in October, this is according credible information reported in the Wall Street Journal.
Currently the PS4 that I own cannot output 4K video, it can't even read 4K Blu-ray discs. With the new beefed up system, the PS4.5 will achieve such feats.
According to the Wall Street Journal report, there will not be a powerful processor but an upgraded GPU. This upgrade will boost PS4.5 capability to handle virtual reality games,you see where this is all going? Keyword virtual reality, which is the next generation gaming. Also in the report there is claims that the PlayStation 4.5 will share software catalog with two year PlayStation 4.
Holiday 2016 is the expected launch of PlayStation 4.5, there is no reported pending price. Stay tune.....

Chicago Bears: 3 trades with the Falcons to move up to draft a quarterback
Akiem Hicks is once again out the door in this Chicago Bears trade scenario
The Chicago Bears wanted to trade Akiem Hicks to the Seattle Seahawks in the rumored trade offer for Russell Wilson. The team held onto him, but sending him to Atlanta in order to move up to the fourth-overall pick in the draft could ensure that the Chicago Bears keep their 2023 first-round pick.
Hicks has dealt with some injuries the last two years, but he is fully healthy and would make that front line very, very good, if not elite. Right now the Falcons have Grady Jarett and Dante Fowler, Jr. as the two best defensive linemen. The Falcons run a 4-3 front as opposed to the 3-4 front the Chicago Bears usually use. That shouldn’t matter though as Akiem Hicks has the versatility and experience to play in both defensive schemes.
In this scenario, the Falcons would still receive a future first-round pick, along with a future second-round pick. In this scenario, the Falcons would also see these players as soon as next year as opposed to having to wait until 2023 like in the first scenario. Akiem Hicks would essentially take the place of the future third-round pick.
I think this scenario would be intriguing to the Falcons who have a win-now type of roster on offense and some solid pieces on defense. Adding Hicks to that defense would instantly improve it to the point that they should compete with the NFC South and fight for a playoff spot.

ABS Chips: A compressed difficult plastic that can consider a great deal of abuse. These chip sets are the minimum expensive but frequently the most colorful. The hard plastic enables for them to be printed on much simpler than clay and they can be scorching stamped for customization, or have the graphic images printed directly on the chip. The primary benefit of this is there are no labels required on the chip to place a graphic image on it that may peel or scratch over time and use. To give them the heavier weight that poker gamers favor, a metal insert is molded into the chip. Most, if not all of these chips are produced in China and weigh about eleven.five grams.
Most of the poker chip sets also have additional accessories like dice and dealer buttons, and arrive in either aluminum or hardwood cases. The aluminum instances in the past had some issues because of the weight of the chips. At around 20 pounds, the tension was as well a lot for them and they had problems with breaking hinges and handles. Most of the instances available these days are strengthened and a lot enhanced over these early ones.
I hope this has assisted you kind out the maze of poker chip sets and designs, and helped figure out what types you want to appear into. There truly is nothing like taking part in with a genuine established of poker chips.

Pure perfection! I lived in Charlotte for 18 years and this was my go to place for juice. Best juice in the city and excellent service!!!
The BEST cheese EVER!! High quality vegan cheese. Trust me when I tell you this cheese is even better than regular dairy cheese if you can believe it. Scott is the owner, I have met him twice and he is an nice, likable guy. This is a great business to support. I have not been to 7th Street Market since early 2020 (before COVID) and it was sad to see several places shut down. I wish this place was a little closer to Ballantyne, but they do deliver. A must stop if you are downtown. I have not tried their cleanse juices, but I want to lose weight and think this is what I need to do soon.
Really quality, tasteful products and great customer service
Awesome green drinks. Great price, super friendly staff. Try the Limonaria and the energy boost shot
I was hesitant to try their juices, but Im glad I did. Very tasty, flavors were well balanced, and a great variety to choose from. Id easily recommend.

American Danielle Collins has been dismissed from the World TeamTennis event in West Virginia for breaking COVID-19 protocols, organisers said on Tuesday.
One of only a few live sports events allowing fans in North America to attend amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, the entire three-week regular season of the WTT is being held at the Greenbrier resort in West Virginia.
LOVE MATCH: Photos expose tennis superstars' secret romance
‘WILL HAPPEN’: Serena coach's bold call on tennis legends
"We have dismissed Danielle Collins ... for the remainder of the 2020 World TeamTennis season after breaking our COVID-19 protocols and leaving The Greenbrier Resort and the state of West Virginia," WTT Chief Executive Carlos Silva said in a statement.
"The protocols have been put in place and communicated numerous times to protect the health and safety of our players, coaches and staff which are of utmost importance to WTT."
The organisers did not provide details about the travel undertaken by the 26-year-old Collins, who made the semi-finals of the 2019 Australian Open.
Collins was last month highly critical of Novak Djokovic after the men's World No.1 said it would be "impossible" to play this year's US Open under COVID-19 protocols proposed by organisers.
The American accused Djokovic of being a hypocrite after he also tried to spearhead a fund that saw the top 100 players in the game help out lower-ranked players struggling financially during the COVID-19 break.
“This is a serious contradiction to previous comments about having players … inside the top 100 donate money to players outside of the top 250,” Collins wrote to Djokovic online.
“No one has been able to play sanctioned events or make money since February. Here we have an awesome opportunity with the US Open talking about proceeding forward with the event, with some strict safety precautions to make sure all players feel safe and their health is put first.
“This is a massive opportunity for players to start making money again, and here we have the top player in the world saying only being able to bring one person with (him) will be too difficult be able to bring his entourage.”
At the time, Collins, 26, implored the likes of Djokovic and Rafael Nadal to get behind the US Open push, rather than continually demonstrate their opposition towards it.
“If it’s safe to play, and the USTA, WTA and ATP do everything in their ability to prioritise the health of the players, I think we should support that,” Collins said.
“It’s easy when someone’s made $US150 million ($AUD 205m) throughout their career to try and tell people what to do with their money, and then turn down playing in the US Open.
Collins’ words come back to haunt her
“For those of us (most tennis players) who don’t travel with an entourage, we actually need to start working again. It would be nice to have the best player in the world supporting this opportunity and not spoiling it for the players and the fans!”
Unfortunately for the American, her latest actions in West Virginia are doing little to back up the sentiment she so passionately shared with Djokovic.
Multiple Grand Slam winners Venus Williams of the United States and Belgian Kim Clijsters, who is making a comeback to professional tennis, are among the top draws in the innovative mixed-gender league.
Safety measures taken by WTT to curb the potential spread of the virus include COVID-19 testing for participants and regular temperature checks, with organisers letting a maximum of 500 fans inside the 2,500-person stadium.
Frances Tiafoe, who reached the quarter-finals at the 2019 Australian Open, was forced to drop out of the WTT events after testing positive for COVID-19 while playing at the All-American Team Cup exhibition tournament in Atlanta.

One of the frontline governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has said eight governorship aspirants of the party have stepped down for him ahead of the party’s primary election.
Omisore, who made this known through the Director of Media and Strategy of his campaign organisation Mr. Diran Odeyemi, in Osogbo, the Osun State capital on Wednesday, stated that the aspirants stepped down because they believed in the popularity of the former senator, adding that he would defeat Governor Rauf Aregbesola in the 2014 governorship poll.
Omisore, a former deputy governor of the state, noted that the aspirants admitted that he was the only aspirant out of those jostling for the party’s ticket, who had the acceptability and the capability to defeat the incumbent governor.
Besides, he stated that he had the experience and acceptability to defeat Aregbesola.
He, however, failed to give the name of the aspirants, who had dropped their ambition for his principal, adding that their identities would be made known at a later date.
He said, “Eight governorship aspirants have agreed to drop their governorship ambitions for Senator Iyiola Omisore. All former aspirants who have teamed up with me are prepared to give me ideas from their previous experiences.
“There is no doubt about the acceptability and capability of Senator Omisore. I have the experience and the wherewithal to contest and defeat the incumbent governor.
“Governor Aregbesola has stepped on toes of many people in the state. The people are yearning for a change and I am the one who can defeat him and bring real development to the people of the state.
“The synergy is good for our democracy. If it is going to bring good governance, God will allow it. Chief Obafemi Awolowo predicted this a long time ago. He said that there would be a coming together of political parties.
“Where is ideology in the political parties now? The APC is wooing Obasanjo; but does that make Obasanjo a progressive?
“As there are movements to APC, there are also movements to PDP too. It is not only achievements that win elections, there are extraneous factors like being an indigene, favouritism, blackmails by politicians that come during campaign. But I am sure that Omisore will win the 2014 governorship election in the state”.

Vibrational Spectroscopy of Polymers
For many decades vibrational spectroscopy has occupied a prominent position at the heartland of applied and fundamental polymer research. Vibrational spectroscopy has had, and continues to have, a vital impact in areas ranging from fundamental studies of polymer structure through to the control of manufacturing processes. Infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy can be applied to almost any sample form, can be interfaced to almost any desired apparatus or process, and can be configured with high lateral and depth resolution, allowing property and compositional gradients to be probed or imaged in heterogeneous systems. All this can be done using equipment that is a fraction of the cost of the alternatives. Thus, vibrational spectroscopy has much to offer applied and fundamental polymer scientists and analysts in industry and academia, and new and exciting applications of vibrational spectroscopy continue to evolve.
This book draws together contributions from leading researchers and practitioners to provide an up-to-date coverage of the wide-ranging applications of IR and Raman spectroscopy in polymer science. A balanced between discussions of spectroscopic theory, instrumentation, polymer science ad application is presented. For example, the beginner will find both an introduction to basic interpretational skills as well as a detailed discussion of sampling techniques. Similarly, the reader will find a rigorous treatment of the calculation of polymer spectra and the theory underlying the measurement of polymer orientation, while other chapters concentrate mainly on the application of these measurements so as to obtain a better understanding of polymer deformation mechanisms, network structure, product properties, and process measurement.
In summary, this book will provide a high-resolution snapshot of the state of the art of polymer research and measurement using vibrational spectroscopy that will prove useful to both new and established practitioners in the field.

HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii Gov. David Ige plans to spend an extra $12 million this year to make a dent in the state’s homelessness crisis, outlining a three-prong approach that includes expanding services, conducting sweeps of encampments and developing more affordable housing.
“We see homelessness every day around our community,” Ige said in a news conference Thursday, adding that his plan will provide expanded services statewide. “There is no quick fix to homelessness. There is no shortcut.”
Hawaii has the highest rate homelessness per capita in the nation. The extra $12 million was approved by the state Legislature in May. The cash, along with the $15 million the state already spends annually on homelessness, is believed to be the largest amount the state has ever spent to solve the problem.
Ige wants to add 10,000 additional housing units in the state over the next four years, and his staff has been reaching out to landlords, encouraging them to be open to be open to homeless tenants.
“You can’t end homelessness without providing people homes,” said Scott Morishige, Ige’s homelessness coordinator.
The state will spend $9.4 million to bolster services like short-term financial help and outreach to unsheltered homeless people. It also will expand its Housing First program — which places chronically homeless individuals in homes without requiring sobriety or mental health treatment — to neighbor islands.
The state plan is based on a model Hawaii officials call “Ohana Nui,” a multi-generational approach where state programs invest early in children and families to improve health, education, safety, housing and employment opportunities.
“It’s no longer about just children or adults. … It’s about moving children and people out of toxic stress environments,” said Rachael Wong, director of the state Department of Human Services.
Morishige also plans to spend $675,000 on a data system to manage and monitor homeless outreach efforts.
Another portion of the money — nearly $2 million — will go to sweeping homeless encampments that officials deem unsafe.
A year ago, 300 people in Honolulu were living in one of the nation’s largest homeless encampments. State and local officials and outreach workers helped more than 280 move into housing, Morishige said. But there are still thousands of homeless people throughout the islands.

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, February 25, 2020

Politicians Seek to Eliminate Telemedicine Care That is Currently Serving Ohioans
Columbus, Ohio – Tomorrow, members of the Ohio Senate Committee on Health, Human Services and Medicaid will have the third hearing on Senate Bill 260, which was originally introduced on January 21, 2020. This bill would ban abortions performed with the use of telemedicine, and would cut off access to safe, legal abortion for patients who currently have difficulty accessing a health care provider, especially for these services. Ohioans deserve more from their legislators than limiting patients’ healthcare options with another abortion ban.
For nearly two years, Planned Parenthood in Ohio has used telemedicine to provide medication abortions safely. Telemedicine expands access for patients located far away from health care providers. The capability of telemedicine to increase access to health care for patients living in remote communities is essential because of the significant health disparities that exist between patients living in rural and urban communities. As the number of abortion restrictions are rising, so are the number of communities who are considered rural and far from abortion providers.
Telemedicine abortions follow strict Ohio law. The patient travels to one of our surgical health centers to meet with a physician and receive education, an ultrasound, and lab work. The second appointment occurs at a health center that might be closer to their home, where they video conference with a physician to answer any additional questions and to take the medication abortion pill. This reduces the time and price burden of travel to better serve our patients while continuing to provide the highest quality and safest care available.
Statement from Kersha Deibel, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio:
“Here at Planned Parenthood, patient safety is always our top priority. We agree that people seeking medical care should be safe; this bill has absolutely nothing to do with patient safety. This is part of an aggressive anti-abortion agenda pushed by politicians here in Ohio and across the country to do one thing – ban abortion outright. We will not stand for it.”
Statement from Iris E. Harvey, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio:
“Senate Bill 260 creates another barrier for people who are already struggling to access health care, including safe, legal abortion. The use of telemedicine in abortion care provides Ohio patients, especially those who live in medically underserved areas, with increased access to health care and attendance by specialized physicians who are held to the same standards of care as providers employing traditional in-clinic medical care. Ohio legislators need to stop removing health care from its citizens and instead focus on expanding access to reproductive health care.”
Bans on the use of telemedicine for medication abortion are not based in concern for patient safety, but an intent to eliminate access to safe, legal abortion and have already been blocked by courts in other states. The Iowa Supreme Court declared a ban on telemedicine abortions to be unconstitutional in 2015, citing the lack of medical support for prohibiting it, and noting that the Iowa Board of Medicine’s medical concerns about telemedicine “are selectively limited to abortion.”
Studies have shown that eight in ten Americans agree that abortion should be safe, legal, and accessible. This bill favors an ideologically-driven agenda over the desires, well-being, and lives of Ohioans. Ohioans should be able to access safe, high-quality health care, no matter where they live. Ohio legislators should not be in the business of taking away health care from its citizens, and instead should focus on expanding access to reproductive health care.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio supports advocacy for reproductive health and reproductive rights, including grassroots organizing, community education, and lobbying. www.ppao.org

McPherson’s main argument in “US Operating Systems at Mid-Century: The Intertwining of Race and UNIX” is that as programming languages followed UNIX and became more modular, designed so that processes were isolated and not visible to each other or the user, so did our global culture. Social problems were isolated and hidden away from the “user” or average person in society in the same way that computer programs like UNIX “filter” raw data and information into something that the user can understand but at the same time keep the user from seeing its process. In other words, the attitude towards technology that “I don’t care how it works, as long as it does” was reflected in society as people ignored and isolated race issues because things (society) “worked”. People didn’t know how racial politics worked, and they didn’t see the pockets of discontent or unfair treatment because those pockets were hidden from them by society in the same way that a computer program hides its processes and problems from the user. This “smoothing over” and modulation has also affected the academic world as different areas of study have become increasingly isolated from each other, without sharing information. McPherson says that if we don’t look to technology and how it “trains” us, in other words if we don’t look outside the box, we can’t be truly enlightened or impartial.
The Bug definitely relates to the McPherson piece because at its core, the book is about the way that computer programmers, in creating their programs, put bits of themselves into what they create, and that the program and the person are meshed together like a trellis and a climbing vine. More importantly, the book deals with a “bug” that takes on a persona and a life of its own which fits with what McPherson describes- technological processes reflecting and influencing real world attitudes and events. Not only does the Bug become a character in the book, it is a concrete example of a technological problem and technology itself, spilling into the real world and affecting people’s jobs, lives, and society. Bot the McPherson piece and The Bug remind us of the way that computer viruses are (theoretically) capable of destroying our world that today is so dependent on technology and programming. Additionally, AIDS plays a role in The Bug and I’d be hard pressed to think of a societal problem (besides racism) that was more modulated away and hidden and mired in a fog of misinformation than HIV/AIDS. Like a computer program hiding its workings from its user, our government hid AIDS away from us for a long time, seeing the pockets of suffering as isolated from the rest of the population. The Bug‘s message of humanity and machinery existing messily together, as well as the power and danger of technology, really goes with McPherson’s ideas about looking at what’s truly going on in technology in order to see what’s truly going on in society.

for me really illustrates people isolated by technology, like McPherson describes. It’s a startling image and really makes me think of the way that humanity is dependent on technology and the way that technology keeps our lives as we know them, moving forward.

Statewide police use of force law passes without Gov. Phil Scott's signature
A statewide use of force bill for Vermont law enforcement will pass into law without Gov. Phil Scott's signature, he announced this week.
The bill, S.119, was crafted and gained steam during the last few months in response to incidents around the country where Black citizens were killed by police officers.
The Vermont branch of the American Civil Liberties Union called the new law "the nation’s best statewide policy on police use of force." The group had offered testimony to lawmakers on committees addressing the bill.
"Police brutality and impunity is a growing concern in Vermont and nationwide, and it is all too clear that we can no longer allow the police to police themselves," the ACLU-Vermont wrote in a statement. "S.119 is a historic milestone that will prioritize de-escalation whenever possible and help hold law enforcement accountable when they use excessive force."
What does the new law do?
The law defines statewide standards for when police officers feel they need to use physical force on citizens to preserve public safety. It allows law enforcement to use physical force only when it is "objectively reasonable, necessary and proportional" to make an arrest, prevent an escape, or overcome the resistance of a person the officer has cause to believe has committed a crime.
"The authority of law enforcement to use physical force is a serious responsibility that shall be exercised judiciously and with respect for human rights and dignity and for the sanctity of every human life," the law states. "Every person has a right to be free from excessive use of force by officers acting under authority of the State."

The law also:
- Bans the use of neck restraints, or any pressure on the person's neck, windpipe, or carotid artery that would prevent breathing.
- Prohibits the use of deadly force on a person based on the danger the person poses to himself or herself. The person must pose an imminent threat of death or serious injury to the officer or other members of the public to warrant the use of lethal force.
- Requires, when feasible, that a police officer identifies himself or herself to members of the public and warns that deadly force may be used.
- Requires officers to intervene if they see a fellow officer using a prohibited restraint on a person.
- Requires the Department of Public Safety and the Executive Director of Racial Equity to report to lawmakers by February 2021 about developing a uniform statewide model policy on the use of force for all law enforcement agencies and officers.
Why did it pass without Scott's signature?
In a letter to the Vermont Senate, Scott said he agreed with the goals of the bill and recognized its importance, but he worried that it was "hastily crafted" during the unique legislative session that has taken place mostly virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Scott said he felt there was insufficient opportunity for the full Legislature to hear feedback from both historically disadvantaged communities and public safety officials, and that some gaps and undefined terms remained in the bill.
"For Vermont to be a leader in setting a modernized and enhanced standard for law enforcement use of force, we must work together to do so in a way that is clear and can be implemented fully and effectively in the field," Scott said.
Scott said he hoped to continue working on the law in January. He said that Michael Schirling, the state's public safety commissioner, had presented to Scott a plan for modernizing law enforcement, which will likely be part of the discussion.
"I believe with more time – and more testimony from all impacted communities – this bill can be improved before it goes into effect," Scott said.

TUCSON - Many families in the Old Pueblo have taken a financial hit due to of the COVID-19 crisis.
However, on Tuesday, a group of Tucsonans stepped up to help others during this time of need by providing bags of groceries - no questions asked.
The community event took place at Cactus Auto on Prince Road, just east of Interstate 10.
Larry Doyle, a Tucson resident, was one of the dozens of people who received a free bag of food.
"This really means a lot to me and my family due to the fact the coronavirus is going on," said Doyle. "I've been laid off since March. Times are tough right now. Every little bit is very much appreciated."
Xander Swartz is the general manager of Cactus Auto.
"Tucson's been very good to us over the years," said Swartz. "We figured now is a very important time for us to give back to the community."
Cactus Auto teamed up with at least 20 other Tucson-area companies to give away $4,000 worth of groceries.
"It's the NEXUS group, a bunch of business owners, [who] provided the financial donations for us to buy the food, and we went out to local grocers and bought the food and bagged them up," said Swartz.
"We've seen a lot of people come up and they're just so thankful for the $20 worth of food they're getting to take home," he said. "It's been pretty emotional. There have been a few tears and it's nice to see that we're actually making an impact."


How the metaverse and NFTs might impact IP protection in 2023
IP issues related to the metaverse, blockchain technologies and crypto assets will continue to be an important focus for rights holders and businesses entering or expanding into this evolving space in 2023. Two metaverse and NFT lawsuits took centre stage last year, with the outcomes now eagerly awaited: Hermès’s suit over MetaBirkins NFTs and Nike’s suit against StockX.
Hermès v Rothschild
Hermès filed a lawsuit against artist Mason Rothschild for his use of the BIRKIN trademarks in connection with his MetaBirkins NFTs, alleging trademark infringement and dilution. Rothschild argued that the claims should be dismissed based on Rogers v Grimaldi and subsequent case law indicating that digital images of the bags are art and receive protection under the First Amendment. However, Hermès contended that the sale of NFTs was purely commercial and Rogers was consequently inapplicable.
In May 2022 the US District Court for the Southern District of New York found that Rothschild’s MetaBirkins NFTs were digital images capable of constituting a form of artistic expression, meaning that they were entitled to First Amendment protection and that Rogers applied. However, the court denied Rothschild’s motion to dismiss because Hermès sufficiently alleged that his use of MetaBirkins either has no artistic relevance to the underlying work whatsoever or, even if it has some, it explicitly misleads as to the source or the content of the work.
The case proceeded to trial and the jury found that Rothschild was liable for trademark infringement, trademark dilution and cybersquatting, awarding Hermès damages. Since the verdict, Hermès has requested the court mandate that Rothschild stop using the Birkin trademark, and transfer to Hermès the MetaBirkins domain name, as well as his income from sales of the tokens.
The verdict in the case exhibits the ability for brand owners to potentially protect against the unauthorized issuing and sale of NFTs using their marks or designs, even when faced with a First Amendment defence.
Nike v StockX
In February 2022 Nike filed a trademark suit after StockX, a company that resells sneakers, announced that it would use NFTs to allow buyers to track ownership of physical products resold on the StockX platform and to confirm authenticity. StockX argued that its use of third-party brands featured in the NFTs was protected under the first-sale doctrine. Nike countered that the NFTs were distinct digital products with independent value and that StockX was profiting from Nike’s intellectual property.
The issues involved in Nike v StockX could shape the IP landscape around NFTs, the legal distinction between NFTs and physical assets and the use of trademarks in connection with creative works.
Specifically, creators may need to take more precautions when launching NFTs of other products.
USPTO’s handling of metaverse and NFT-related trademark applications
Brands have rushed to the USPTO to file trademark applications in relation to metaverse environments and digital assets, including NFTs. The USPTO’s review of these applications and approved descriptions to date provide some guidance on:
- how the office may classify these products and services;
- how likelihood of confusion refusals might be issued with respect to digital versus terrestrial products and services; and
- what makes a mark merely descriptive of metaverse-related goods and services
Generally, virtual goods appear to be proper to Class 9, but further clarity regarding the nature of the goods may be required (ie, ‘virtual goods’ alone is too vague). For NFTs, it is also essential that the applicant specify the type of digital item authenticated.
The USPTO’s likelihood of confusion assessments include:
- digital trading cards (Class 9) related to physical card games (Class 28);
- traditional event services in Class 41, presumably encompassing virtual-related events; and
- retail store services for virtual clothing goods in virtual worlds (Class 35) related to traditional clothing (Class 25).
On the issue of descriptiveness, the USPTO registered METAJACKET in Class 9 for “downloadable virtual goods, namely, articles of clothing, featuring jackets,” but took issue with the mark CYBERSNEAKER as descriptive for “downloadable virtual goods” in Class 9.
Challenges and opportunities
The issues involved in enforcing trademark rights with respect to blockchain domain names are essential watching for parties in this space.
Blockchain domain names link to an address on a blockchain and are often used as short-form addresses for sending and receiving crypto assets. Currently, these domains operate outside of the ICANN domain name systems and are not subject to many of the rules and requirements of traditional domain names.
The use of brand names in or as blockchain domains can create consumer confusion and may result in the loss of crypto assets due to such confusion. Based on the current system, brands likely will need to choose between attempting to work with certain marketplaces to stop infringing domain use and registration and securing blockchain domain names quickly ahead of potential bad-faith users.
It is also essential that brands and business owners account for considerations related to the right of publicity for virtual avatars. The right of publicity refers to a person’s right to control the commercial use of their name, image and likeness. But how does a well-known person stop others from usurping their likeness in virtual environments? And, conversely, if a virtual persona becomes meta-famous, does an individual have rights to protect their avatar’s likeness?
Lastly, it is crucial to keep an eye on the US Copyright Office and USPTO’s joint study regarding the issues of trademark, patent and copyright law and policy arising from the use of NFTs. While the study is ongoing, its results will likely provide some guidance on the direction of IP laws and protections for NFTs and the metaverse more broadly.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming" is a domestic darling, and an global success.
Though "Spider-Man: Homecoming" already has a sequel set for July 2019, Watts noted that he wasn't sure if Miles would appear in the movie.
The movie cast its net far and wide this weekend to gain spectacular worldwide box office takings just shy of £200 million; United Kingdom box office over the first five days accounted for £9.1 million.
The film, which had a budget of $175 million, also earned rave reviews. "It's an incredible win for Sony, for our partners at Marvel and Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal, who produced it". Marvel veteran Robert Downey Jr. returns once again as Tony Stark/Iron Man, with actor/director Jon Favreau playing the role of Harold "Happy" Logan.
Baby Driver is in third with $13 million (£10.1 million), while Wonder Woman takes the fourth spot with $10.1 million (£7.8 million). It debuted in first overseas with $139 million (£107.8 million).
Overall, the film nabbed $257 million around the world this weekend. In Asia alone, the movie has earned $61.3 million.
In its sixth week in theaters, Wonder Woman still finds herself in the top 5, landing at No. 4. Indeed, on a daily basis it is outpacing another Marvel movie, "Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2", which opened in early May to $146 million and will top out its domestic run at just under $400 million.
Sharing thought before the movie, most people said they came for the premiere just to "judge" the performance of the 15 year movie star Abraham Attah who shot to fame after starring in Idris Elba's beast of no nation. After ten days, DM3 has scored $149.2 million so far and should be able to work its way to a domestic haul around the $220 million mark. The movie, which generated a lot of buzz at Sundance, stars Casey Affleck as the husband of Rooney Mara's character.

Pool water recycling has become more widespread due to environmental concerns. By filtering and cleaning pool water, reusable resources are created that are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Nevertheless, there are a few things to keep in mind when recycling pool water, not the least of which is water quality and its potential impact on the environment.
By following the steps outlined in this article, you will be able to make the most informed decision on the best way to recycle your pool water and reap the benefits of a more sustainable pool.
Is it a good idea to drain a swimming pool?
It is not recommended to drain your pool completely unless there is a substantial build-up of scale within the pool, the water is excessively degraded, or the pool is in need of renovation.
A complete draining of a pool does not only waste a lot of water, but it also damages the structural integrity of the pool.
Pool water treatment prior to recycling
Recyclable water is primarily obtained from filter cleaning operations or pool draining (totally or partially).
It’s critical to note that pool water contains chemicals that can be harmful to the environment. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that any recycled pool water is tested and deemed safe for release into the environment. The treatment required will vary depending on the product used to treat the pool water, such as chlorine, salt, bromine, or active oxygen.
A full range of pool design services
Recycling pool water for irrigation
Recycling pool water can primarily be used to water your garden. However, it is important to keep in mind that pool water contains chemicals that may be harmful to certain species of plants.
Ensure that the chlorine, salt, bromine, or active oxygen levels are appropriate before reusing pool water for irrigation. To reduce the level of these chemicals in the pool water, let it evaporate for a few days before using it for irrigation.
By reusing pool water for irrigation, you can reduce your overall water consumption.
In pool water, there may be chemicals that are toxic to certain plants.
Recycling pool water treated with chlorine, bromine or active oxygen
If you intend to use a chlorine-treated pool to water your plants, it is recommended that you wait at least one week for the active chlorine agent to dissipate. Check the chlorine or bromine levels regularly during this period using the test strips you usually use. Additionally, chlorine and bromine neutralizers are available. At normal levels, active oxygen is harmless to plants.
When the chlorine level in the water is low enough, it is suitable for watering your garden plants. Storing the water in a tank and allowing it to sit for a few days before being used ensures that the chlorine and other active agents have dissipated, and the water is safe for your plants.
How to reuse salt-treated pool water
You can use salt water to irrigate your plants, but not all tolerate it. To ensure your plants remain healthy, it is important to measure the salinity of your irrigation water before using it.
To achieve this, test strips can be used to determine the salt level. In addition, you can maintain healthy plants by knowing which varieties are suitable for saltwater conditions. Here, you’ll find out which plant species are best suited to salt water.
Pool filter backwash water recycling
Backwash water, which comes from cleaning your pool filter, can be recycled and reused in your garden.
A filter backwash typically consumes between 66 and 132 gallons (250 and 500 liters) of water. It’s usually dumped into the sewage system, so it’s wasted. Recycling water means it’s no longer wasted and can be used for other things, like irrigating plants and filling pools.
Reusing water otherwise disposed of as waste is a benefit of this method. This not only conserves water, but also helps to reduce water costs.
Backwash water may contain chemicals, sediment, and other particles that may not be beneficial for certain plants. In this regard, it is important to ensure that backwash water is compatible with your plants.
Other ways of recycling pool drain water
The draining of a pool has long been considered a waste of water, but today it is possible to turn this into an environmentally friendly gesture by reusing the drain water. Here are a few suggestions:
Refilling the pool
During swimming season, the pool’s water level drops by approximately 0.39 inch (ca. 1 cm) per day, due to evaporation. By storing the backwash water, you can reuse it to keep the pool full without having to add fresh water.
Flush water supply
If pool water is chemically cleaned, it can then be used for flushing toilets. It would be a very effective way to save water and the environment. Thus, it is a win-win situation for both the environment and your wallet.
Pool decks and cars washing
As an additional benefit, you will be able to save time and effort by using recycled pool water instead of tap water for the cleaning of your pool deck and cars.
In addition to making substantial savings, reusing your pool water responsibly contributes to the sustainable management of water resources.
Vidanger l'eau de votre piscine dans votre jardin : les méthodes
If you want to drain the water from your swimming pool in your garden, here’s how to proceed, depending on the type of pool:
Before draining your pool, check with your local municipality, as they might have rules regarding when and how you can undertake the project
Draining an above-ground pool
In the case of an above-ground pool, the easiest method is to siphon it off with a garden hose. Place one end of the hose in the pool and the other end in your mouth. It is important to take several quick breaths until the water enters. Then, point the hose towards your garden to drain the water. You may also be able to quickly empty the water from your swimming pool into your garden by using a vacuum pump.
In-ground pool draining
In the case of an in-ground pool, you will be able to empty the water into the garden using the multi-way valve on the sand filter. Close the skimmer valves and open the bottom drain valves. Then set the filter valve to the “drain” position and start the filtration system. If you don’t have a bottom drain, you can also use a pump to empty water from your pool into your garden.
It is possible to reduce tap water consumption and protect the environment through the recycling of pool water.
However, it is equally important to consider water quality and the effects of chemicals on the environment and on plants.
If you take the appropriate steps to treat and recycle your pool water, you will be able to enjoy your pool in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable manner.

Vintage Chucks Vintage chucks had a name label printed inside the tongue. Although the Converse All Star Chuck Taylor high top basketball shoe has remained virtually unchanged since Chuck Taylor made his modifications in their design during the s and 40s, there are some subtle differences in the way the shoes are manufactured and sold today. One difference is that today there no longer is a name label printed inside the tongue. Vintage chucks had wider spacing between the side eyelets and smaller toe caps. There are also some differences on the outside of the shoe. The two side eyelets on the inside of each shoe were wider apart than they are today, the rubber toe caps were smaller, the thread stitching around the toe cap had a differenct pattern, and the rubber piping red on the white chuck, black on most other models was slightly thicker. The shoe laces that came with each pair were longer and made of a more stretchable cotton than the braided and shorter laces issued with each pair of chucks today.
Throughout the 20th century, many clothing trends have emerged from workwear and transitioned into the fashion mainstream. Like many of the fashion styles and brands we have come to know, the Pendleton Company most famously known for its’ hallmark product the Pendleton Shirt was to become famous because of the imagination of its’ founders. Having their early history in the late ‘s making vibrant colored Indian blankets for the American Indian the Pendleton Company owners in the ‘s decided that there were more potential applications for using the “Umatilla” wool fabric they were weaving.
One of the first and as it turns out their signature product creation was the Pendleton Shirt. The wool used in making the Pendleton products was called “Umaltilla” named for the area surrounding the mill where the sheep were raised. The high quality of the fiber created a more wrinkle resistant collton and was more elastic and stain resistant, well insulating and more absorbent.

As laid out in the scene , trends begin within one designer collection, and then followed up by other designers who offer their own interpretations. The quote is fashion at its most cynical and its most enlightened. Unfortunately, it is also wrong. Trickle-down fashion is the dominant theory of how the trend food chain works. And even though outlets like The New York Times dismissed the speech as oversimplistic when the movie first came out, the convention has somehow endured.
Retailers are able to rely on e-commerce to track consumer shopping trends to inform their fashion trends. And, frankly, our appetite for fashion as an escape, a subject, recreation, and form of expression have amplified in recent years. Fashion is as much a product of us as a product for us. The Firestarter The idea that any trend worth disseminating starts from a typically rich, usually old, mostly white man with a chic accent dreaming up visions in cloth is absurd.
Inspiration can come from film and art, but these days, inspiration generally tends to bubble up from real life. And like with food and music, the most compelling fashion is typically borne from incredibly creative people with little resources. But what differentiates a fashion trend from folk garb is when these ideas are made available for communities outside of the one who wears it — understandably, this is also the stage where cultural context can easily disappear..
Take for example the recent trend of off-the-shoulder tops made of business-shirting material. The trend has two wildly distinct origins.

Unearthing a Treasure Trove of Rudi Gernreich Fashions, The WHOLE Story I adore recounting this interminable tale about my Vintage Rudi Gernreich collection because there has been so much speculation and disinformation surrounding the unearthing of this incredible collection of treasures. Apparently my humor was somewhat infectious and they booked me there on the spot!
I was flying off to Chicago a week later. Now the truth is that no matter where I travel in the world, and for whatever reason, I always managed to find time to go Treasure Hunting. So true to form, while I was in Chicago and on my off time from shooting the Oprah show I used my first book, The Rag Street Journal, The Ultimate Guide to shopping Thrift Across North America, Henry Holt, New York, to guide me through the back streets of Chicago in my hopes of unearthing something fabulous, for this was un-chartered territory for me back then and you never know what you will find hidden away.
In my travels around Chicago I stumbled into a small but well tended vintage shop called Strange Cargo and spotted a couple of interesting garments, so I asked one of the clerks if they had any high-end vintage garments that may not be on the sales floor, always a good tip.

Points for Would-Be Sellers and Buyers of Vintage Clothes and Accessories These are some guidelines aimed in particular at new sellers of vintage who may be considering selling clothing or dresses via the internet, but have no idea what points to consider other than they want to sell items. Buyers may also find them useful as guidelines on buying and what features to look for in sale details.
Give a precise and accurate written description of the condition of the item. State whether it is mint, near mint, excellent, very good, good, fair, poor, well worn, tattered, soiled, damaged, ripped, moth eaten. Whether or not you need to use the latter derogatory words will depend on your mode of operation and standard of purchases. With the latter terms consider using the word ‘cutter’, which is a useful term to doll makers, dressmakers and quilt makers who seek antique fabrics for reproducing vintage looking reproduction or theatrical goods.

Sales of microscopic-puzzler Tiny Invaders, the debut release from iOS dev Hogrocket, have grown tenfold since it switched to the freemium model in January.
In an interview with Inside Mobile Apps, Hogrocket's co-founder Peter Collier admitted, "I think if we’d known what we know now, we'd have been freemium from the start and perhaps designed the game so it supported that business model more."
Collier believes that new studios with unproven IPs have two choices: either launch at 69p / 99c, or go free.
To back up Collier's belief, freemium has arguably become the default business model for many small iOS studios.
For example, the 'try before you by' incentive has helped husband-and-wife operation Imangi Studios to reach 36 million downloads with its endless-runner Temple Run.
Tiny Invaders - one of our Top 10 games of September 2011 - can be found on the App Store for free.

Mississippi v. Johnson 4 Wallace (71 U.S.) 475 (1867) Georgia v. Stanton 6 Wallace (73 U.S.) 50 (1868)
MISSISSIPPI v. JOHNSON 4 Wallace (71 U.S.) 475 (1867) GEORGIA v. STANTON 6 Wallace (73 U.S.) 50 (1868)
In these cases, the Supreme Court refused to enjoin President andrew johnson and Secretary of War edwin m. stanton from enforcing the military reconstruction acts. The Justices unanimously refused to act in the Mississippi case, holding that legislatively mandated executive duties were not enjoinable. Georgia subsequently argued that the military laws threatened its corporate sovereignty, but Justice samuel nelson found this a political question unfit for judicial scrutiny. Nelson hinted, however, that the Court might favorably consider an action based on property rights. Shortly afterward, in an unreported case (Mississippi v. Stanton, 1868), the Justices evenly divided on that question. Consequently, the judiciary never ruled on the constitutionality of military reconstruction; yet these decisions involved an important recognition of separation of powers and the limits of judicial power.

Two Esri online web mapping applications disseminated vital information to help emergency workers and residents respond to the deadly floods that wreaked havoc in Brisbane, Australia, and outlying communities last January.
A team from ESRI Australia Pty. Ltd., Esri, and the Brisbane City Council (BCC) created the applications, which were made available using the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
Esri's ArcGIS Viewer for Flex was used to develop an internal web-based map for BCC. Called the BCC Flood Common Operational Picture (COP), it gave decision makers in the city's command center information such as what areas were flooded, the flood crest, and the location of closed roads and bridges. Information from the map helped them coordinate the emergency response to the disaster.
A second web mapping viewer was created for the public. Visitors to the BCC Flood Map could see where flooding was expected to occur, call up modeled flood peak information, find the location of evacuation centers (and the number of beds available), and get news feeds about the disaster. At the flood's peak, the public-facing flood map received about 1.5 million hits.
After years of devastating drought, torrential rains caused by the La Niņa weather phenomenon drenched Queensland, Australia, in late 2010. The constant rains triggered heavy flooding in Brisbane and dozens of other communities in January 2011. More than 35 people were killed, and damage to property was extensive.
By the evening of January 10, it became apparent Brisbane was about to experience serious flooding and damage to an extent not seen since 1974. That year, three weeks of rain caused the Brisbane River to overflow and flood more than 6,000 homes.
The January flooding took an even heavier toll. In Brisbane alone, almost 33,000 homes, businesses, and properties were damaged or destroyed after being inundated with mud and water. Coal mines, vital to Queensland's economy, were flooded. Insurance claims top $1.5 billion Australian dollars (A$). Damage to the country's economy-to tourism, agriculture, and mining to name a few examples- is estimated at more than A$30 billion, according to economic forecasters quoted in Australia's Herald Sun newspaper.
"In many ways, it is a disaster of biblical proportions," Andrew Fraser, Queensland's treasurer, told the media during the worst of the flooding.
Federal, state, and local governments, as well as numerous volunteer organizations, launched disaster recovery operations. BCC mobilized more than 50,000 local residents to do everything from volunteer at the evacuation centers to clean up mud- and water-damaged homes and businesses.
While heavy rain continued to fall, an engineering contractor worked with BCC to produce numerous hydrology models based on flow rates. The results of the models were used as part of the GIS analysis. Information produced by the GIS analysis was used to report the effects of the flood on critical infrastructure, such as what was destroyed and damaged.
The challenge, however, was how to share information about the flood peak and where roads, bridges, and other infrastructure were flooded with the many recovery teams, work units, and community volunteers. Disseminating this information would help decision makers in the command center and in the field best coordinate and utilize the army of workers.
BCC contacted ESRI Australia for assistance. BCC and ESRI Australia decided to use ArcGIS Viewer for Flex and ArcGIS Server to create the Brisbane Flood COP. The intent was to initially create an online mapping application for the council and state and federal agencies that needed to dispatch and coordinate resources to best deal with the crisis. A second application would then be made for disseminating information to the wider, public audience.
ArcGIS Viewer for Flex is a ready-to-deploy viewer application. It is configurable, so you can easily add tools and data content without programming. You can also extend its functionality with custom widgets available from the Esri community or create custom widgets yourself with ArcGIS API for Flex.
However, the initial map on the BCC site that was meant for use by the government agencies was overwhelmed quickly as the word spread through social media channels about a flood map website. By using the Amazon EC2, ESRI Australia was able to quickly scale the infrastructure behind the application to meet the demand. Had conventional infrastructure been used, scaling the site would have been a slower, more labor-intensive task and probably would have resulted in the public being unable to get the information needed due to poor response times.
Separate websites were created for each web application so the government and the public were not competing for computing resources. The internal-facing web application gave officials at BCC and state and federal agencies their own decision-making tool.
Citizens used the public-facing Brisbane Flood Map to see which roads were affected by the flooding, find evacuation centers, and view the modeled flood peak layer. As the flood peak passed and the waters started to subside, BCC wanted to use the Brisbane Flood Map to communicate how the council was going to manage the huge task of cleaning up the city.
The Esri-based web viewer proved to be an ideal solution for BCC and was similar to defense COPs. Defense COPs use the concept of a basemap and a series of operational overlays. In many ways, the BBCs Flood COP was designed around the same principles. Map Data Services (MDS) supplied the basemap, MDS Foundation Map, a ready-to-use cached map service with authoritative street and property information for Australia.
As the floodwaters continued to rise, the internal and external websites were constantly updated with new operational overlays. Planning layers such as operational sectors and emergency waste disposal sites were established. Multiple agencies used the BCC Flood COP to respond to the emergency. The mapping application benefited not only BCC staff but other emergency responders such as members of the fire and rescue services, police and ambulance units, and various Australia Defence Force) (ADF) personnel that assisted in the operations.
The public-facing BCC Flood Map was also launched using Esri's ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. People who wanted to know if their house was going to possibly be damaged by the flood could visualize the areas already inundated and bring up flood prediction maps. A Microsoft Bing Locator was added to allow the public to search for an address and easily navigate to that address. Evacuation centers, often located in stadiums or churches, were placed on the map. People could click the Evacuation Centres button on the application's toolbar to add those sites to the map. They could then zoom in to their neighborhood to find the center closest to them. An Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) GeoRSS feed was also added to provide constant news updates from the field.
Mobile users, however, could not view the online flood maps, because they lacked the support for Flash that was needed to access BCC's sites. To combat this limitation, a web map was created using the flood-related services from ArcGIS Server and the Bing basemap. This web map was created in ArcGIS Online and exposed to the public through a public group called Queensland Floods. Creating web maps using ArcGIS Online exposes mashups and functionality to a range of end users through many devices. In this case, it allowed iPhone, iPad, and Windows Phone users to see the same flood-related content on their mobile devices.
Queensland, though a large state in area, acts like a small, tightly knit community. People came from far and wide to assist in the cleanup and recovery process. The BCC Flood COP and BCC Flood Map assisted many of them in their work; kept citizens updated on flooding information; and helped evacuees find the locations of shelters.
Further mapping efforts using ArcGIS Viewer for Flex can be seen on the Queensland Reconstruction Authority's website, http://www.qldra.org.au.

Actress, talk show host, producer, and author. Are we missing anything? Oh, yeah! Drew Barrymore can now add home renovator to her long list of accomplishments.
The 47-year-old left fans both impressed and emotional after sharing her latest renovation project. Drew first shared her new passion with fans on Instagram with a video captioned, "Don’t mind me, I’m just having the time of my LIFE."
The Drew Barrymore Show host sure knows her way around the kitchen. The clip shows Drew going to town on a checkered tile backsplash in her New York City apartment. The Home Depot theme song playing in the background was a nice touch, too.
A day later, things got super emotional. Once the floral wallpaper and colorful cabinets were gone, the Firestarter actress had a major hunch that there was a secret window that the last tenants covered up with drywall. Reasons like this one are why so many people say to trust your intuition. Giddy with excitement, the actress decided to do a few howls (yes, howls) to get pumped for the big reveal.
Drew posted a part 2 to her kitchen renovation and as soon the concealed window was discovered, the emotions started to flow. The video shows a teary-eyed Drew peering out of the new window repeating, "I knew there was a window here. I knew it." She continued, "It's so hopeful how something so covered up and dark...you can pry it open and create light."
Fans immediately ran to the comment section to rally around the star and left sweet messages like:
- "Protect this woman at all costs. She is the new Betty White and will carry us through the next 60 years with love and joy."
- "Drew should have her own show on HGTV"
- "The joy you are getting from all of this is so sweet!!!"
- "I'm laughing cuz the crying over a window is the cutest thing ever!!😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰"
After all was said and done, some fans thought the burst of intense emotion from the actress was comedic, but that's okay with Drew because even she knows when to laugh at herself.
No matter if you find crying at a window weird or enlightening, we can all agree that Drew Barrymore is a big bundle of joy!
