Sharon Tatum says she doesn’t know what she would do without it.
She is one of 10 people participating in the Food is Care program recently launched by St. Peter’s Health and Helena Food Share that brings healthy food to area residents dealing with food insecurity while managing chronic or complex medical conditions.
“If they were not there for me to use I don’t know where I would be today,” the 62-year-old Tatum said Thursday after receiving a box of frozen meat, margarine, eggs, milk, carrots, a yellow pepper, crackers and oatmeal.
She said she receives $20 a month in food stamps “and this helps.”
The Food is Care program connects people with diet-sensitive health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease or hypertension to food boxes featuring items to help them manage or improve their health. And it taps into both groups’ skills.
Food items included in the packages are all donated to the Helena Food Share.

St. Peter’s care team members and other local medical clinics refer homebound patients with complex medical conditions to the free program by assessing their ability to access condition-appropriate food.
Every other week, Helena Food Share, in collaboration with caregivers at St. Peter’s, prepares food boxes for program participants. St. Peter’s population health, ambulance, or community paramedicine team members deliver the packages to participants’ homes.
Tatum receives care from St. Peter’s primary care provider Dr. Mikael Bedell and is one of the program participants.
She has celiac disease and said the providers go to great lengths to ensure that she gets gluten-free items in her boxes, such as cereal and pasta. She also has several other health conditions, including diabetes and heart disease.
Effective management of these health concerns requires a balanced, nutritious, and specialized diet, St. Peter’s officials said.
“There are a lot of times that I wouldn’t have food at all if they didn’t come to deliver it to me,” Tatum said. “It is a great service.”
Helena Food Share Program Operations Director Kim Dale said the partnership with St. Peter’s helps ensure existing programs are sustainable.
“We are excited and hope to grow this program to reach more vulnerable people in our community who are struggling with access to food while managing complex medical conditions,” Dale said Wednesday in a news release. “It’s clear that we’re stronger together when we partner to serve real needs in our community.”
St. Peter’s Primary Care Physician Dr. David Krainacker has over 50 hours of training in the field of culinary medicine.
“Food is a powerful tool for everybody, especially individuals with chronic health conditions,” said Krainacker. “Consistent access to nutritious food, the medical care they need and guidance on how to live a healthier lifestyle creates the perfect recipe to manage complex health conditions.”
St. Peter’s Clinical Care Manager Catie Cloninger, a registered nurse, works with Tatum to coordinate her treatment plans and continually assesses her access to appropriate food.
“We provide low-sodium options to address her other health concerns, focusing on meats like chicken or fish, not salty ham or other meat products,” Cloninger said.
Tatum said she hopes the pilot program continues so that “other people who need the program can get help too.”
Since 2019, St. Peter’s has partnered with Helena Food Share to grow their Healthy Food Initiative, stocking the pantry shelves and coolers with a wider variety and more consistent offering of fresh, locally-grown produce, lean meats and healthy grains.
Just recently, the two organizations were also awarded the Food Farmacy Blood Pressure/Cholesterol Grant through the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services Cardiovascular Health Program.
Money from this grant will focus on the creation of education materials along with food preparation tips, sample recipes and cooking tips/demonstrations that can be used in the Food is Care program and beyond.

New data released by Token Report says the vast majority of tokens issued following completed ICOs are not in active use. Excluding Ethereum, just 20 out of 226 are in use
“While most tokens are bought and sold on speculation, Token Report has researched and analyzed which ones are being put to use on their various decentralized apps and platforms,” said Galen Moore, founder and CEO of Token Report.
“This type of data can help evaluate future investments and indicate larger trends in token utility.”
The projects with tokens in use are:
Spells of Genesis (EDS)
Pepe Cash (PEPECASH)
Book of Orbs (ORB)
Toke Report charges membership fees from investors, family offices and cryptocurrency exchanges. Institutions pay in Token Report’s cryptocurrency EDGE for database access via an API.
“This allows Token Report’s dollar-denominated revenue to grow with demand, without diluting the value of its research by over-scaling its user base,” the company said in a release.

(Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of articles that will include profiles on each of Wheeling’s established neighborhoods.)
G.C. Murphy. L.S. Good. Sears. Stone & Thomas. Becker’s Hardware. Elby’s Family Restaurant. Imperial Display. Peking Gardens.
Let’s get them all on the table.
Louis’ Hot Dog. Boury Inc. The 12th Street Grill. Crone’s. The Club Tower. Lanos & Krauss. National Record Mart. Kelly-Mike’s. Banov’s. Doc Williams. Dawson’s Meat Market.
The list of businesses that once operated in the downtown district of Wheeling is long, quite distinguished, and remembered well. Social media internet pages are dedicated to those memories, and the Friendly City is often criticized for the lack of retail businesses in downtown.
But many believe the tide will soon turn.
All of those memories could not stop the closures, one by one, to the point where the mecca that was once downtown Wheeling no longer resembles our localized version of Gotham. The downtown may never again resemble what it was to citizens between 1910 and 1980 because of the changes in consumer trends.
When downtown Wheeling was a retail hub, inner city shopping and living were considered normal. The development of malls and retail areas followed the invention of suburban living, and the convenience factor led the consumer away from Main and Market streets.
Downtown Wheeling has taken its hits. No longer do 450 employees fill the downtown’s tallest building while working for Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel; the 1100 block has been cleared of seven decaying buildings; and McDonald’s closed down on the corner of 12th and Market streets back in the late 1990s.
Can there be a blacker eye?
“With the Ohio Valley Mall complex and The Highlands both well established, there is very little chance of downtown Wheeling ever being a major retail hub again,” said Glenn Elliott, owner of the Professional Building on Market Street. “But that doesn’t mean it cannot thrive. There is a hunger for a vibrant, hip, urban lifestyle in the Ohio Valley, and we have all the ingredients for building that right in downtown Wheeling.”
Many of the district’s assets remain and change is taking place. The Capitol Theatre, purchased by the Wheeling Convention and Visitor’s Bureau on April 3, 2009, has received more than $1 million worth of renovations.
“When you see a private non-profit destination marketing organization working with a federally funded preservation agency, and then the two agencies join forces with the city’s Sports and Entertainment Commission, amazing results can occur,” said Frank O’Brien, the CVB’s executive director. “I see similar partnerships being formed in the city involving government, private enterprise and the creative class.”
West Virginia Northern Community College transformed the corner of 16th and Market streets with the opening of its Applied Technology Center and; a Barnes & Noble Bookstore and student union. A reconstruction of the Market Street Plaza started in early October and is expected to be completed by the beginning of December.
“I really feel like downtown Wheeling is at a very important juncture in its history,” Elliott said. “With several decades of economic decline behind us, we are starting to see signs of life sprouting up here and there. We’re not out of the woods yet by any stretch, and we’re still searching for a downtown identity, but we really are overcoming our biggest obstacle: Perception.
“For the first time in a long while, there are a lot of people in this city who are thinking and talking about downtown in present and future tenses instead of reminiscing about how great it used to be,” he continued. “And that’s big. Nobody wants to live or invest in a downtown that used to be nice; people want to be a part of something that’s alive and growing.”
Wheeling City Manager Robert Herron is encouraged that organizations like ReInvent Wheeling have initiated a plethora of conversations concerning the needs and the hopes. Walkability, beautification, reuse of vacant buildings, more residential areas, and new businesses are all imperative discussions now taking place.
“I see groups like that one as an absolute positive for the city,” Herron said. “There is a younger group of people who are really interested in downtown Wheeling and moving downtown Wheeling forward, so we’re going to do anything we can to encourage their efforts.
Subscribe to Weelunk
“I have seen the ReInvent Wheeling campaign, and I think it’s excellent,” he continued. “The best part is it is possible, but there are a lot of variables that have to come together.”
Today, Stone & Thomas is now the Stones Center, home of Williams Lea and Wheeling Jesuit University’s doctorate physical therapy program. Boury Inc. is now DiCarlo’s Pizza. The Court Theatre is an attorney’s office and parking garage inside the Board of Trade Building. King’s Jewelry is a church.
The Victoria Theater no longer shows movies, but features an Elvis impersonator once per month. Wesbanco Arena, soon to undergo extensive interior and exterior renovations, continues to be the home of the Wheeling Nailers hockey club while hosting the annual Toughman Contest, the Home & Garden Show, several concerts and shows, and a circus twice per year.
Heritage Port replaced the Wharf Garage in 2001, and now hosts more than 70 events each year, including the Upper Ohio Valley Italian Heritage Festival, the Heritage Wheeling Blues Fest, and the Wheeling Vintage Raceboat Regatta.
The city of Wheeling partnered five years ago with the CVB to implement the “First Fridays” event the first Friday of every month, and now more than 30 businesses located in downtown and Centre Wheeling participate by offering special pricing on featured items. ReInvent Wheeling has hosted “Show of Hands,” an event which promotes new business development and is sponsored by international law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe.
“My feelings toward downtown Wheeling are more positive today than they have been in nearly 30 years,” said O’Brien. “The excitement comes from daily interaction with many community members who are committed to establishing a vibrant downtown through partnerships. The reopening and successful operation of the historic Capitol Theatre is an example of why I am so optimistic about the future of downtown Wheeling.”
But future business growth, most agree, hinges on residential statistics. An example, Herron said, involves the possibility of a grocery store opening within the downtown district.
“There are the demographics in the downtown right now that give us a little bit of a head start on attracting a grocery store, but we do need more people. It wouldn’t take a whole lot more people to where it would make sense to do it. More people would make it a home run, and that involves not the only the downtown but also North Wheeling and East Wheeling.”
Preservationists along with capitalists recently have purchased properties to the north, south, and east of the downtown district. But not all structures have been salvaged.
“We do have abandoned structures in every neighborhood in the city, but it is something we’ve acted on,” Herron said. “We’re looking at all the options, and that includes using revenues other than the federal (Community Development Block Grant) funding.”
Elliott admits he, too, is considering loft apartments for a few floors inside the Professional Building, a structure that has housed the Wheeling Stock Exchange, a bank, and various medical offices since opening in 1891. Currently, only the first floor of the building is occupied because of building and fire codes, but the owner has initiated a three-year plan which will result in total access.
“I think the biggest need we have in downtown right now is mid-to-upper-tier housing options for people who want to live in an urban environment. This is particularly important to the so-called millennial generation, but it’s also something that I think a lot of Baby Boomers who are tired of taking care of their lawns will consider as well,” he said. “We don’t have that downtown housing stock yet, but I am aware of at least two housing projects under serious consideration today. And I’m even considering residential options for the Professional Building.
“Simply put, more people living downtown will create a ready-made demand for more things to do downtown – more restaurants, more bars, more live entertainment, and so on.”
O’Brien peers into the downtown district’s future realistically, but he readily acknowledges more development has taken place in this section of the Friendly City in the past two years than since he first began working at a Wheeling radio station in 1986.
“Downtown Wheeling faces many challenges including empty lots, vacant buildings, a decreasing tax base and a lack of private investment. These challenges are insurmountable if the community looks to just one group for answers as has been done in the past,” he said. “Today, I see both young and older people with can-do attitudes and fresh ideas stepping up to form creative partnerships to improve the downtown area.
“While much of what I just said might sound like fantasy or wishful thinking,” O’Brien added, “there were naysayers who claimed saving the Capitol Theatre was an impossible dream.”


2007 Ford F-450 V12 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 10,068 miles
The vehicle is a RV and towing a car. While driving the check engine gauges light came on and the oil pressure gauge flips to " L" for about 2to3 seconds, it did 3times then the light went out. I check the oil and it was alright. What do you tnink
You will need to replace the alternator failry soon
January, 16, 2011 AT 2:59 AM
If the engine didn't make any knocking or ticking when this happened, chances are the oil sending unit is bad. Check that first. If it did make noise, you will need to check oil pressure using a mechanical gauge. It just screws into where the sending unit is located. Using that, you will see exactly what the oil pressure is and if it is low or actually dropping to 0psi. If it is losing pressure, the oil pan needs removed and the oil pump should be checked. However, with only 10K on the engine, this shouldn't be the issue.

The Garden Harvest and Fresh Peach Pie
One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
Have you had a chance to take a look at my Home Page on this blog? My home page, Pray, Cook, Blog has taken on a new look with the addition of a prayer, written by Pastor Allen Jackson of World Outreach Church. I am excited because WOC is allowing me to re-post Pastor Allen’s prayers that he brings to us each week this year. I believe prayer changes things. I am living proof that prayer can set a rocky course straight, can keep a challenged family believing, and that God hears and answers our anguished cries through prayer.
When I first posted a recipe for Aunt Mildred’s Fresh Berry Pie, I posted a picture of the couple who gave me the recipe. At that time I didn’t have any fresh berries to make a pie and share a picture. However, the garden is a plenty with fruit and veggies and so yesterday mom and I froze white peaches, which were gift to us from Liz and Leon, beautiful sweet corn from my husband’s garden, and when the day couldn’t get any busier my dear gardener brought us basket upon basket of red beans to be shelled. When the day was done, we were contented and tired all rolled in to one!
But, I digress. In the midst of our day in the kitchen, Lee brought in a small basket of pitiful looking peaches from our own peach tree. You see, this year the Cicadas bore into our peach trees leaving the limbs broken and the fruit dropped to the ground. When it was all said and done we had this one little harvest of large, but spotty peaches. Well, as it turns out, once we got the skins off the peaches, they are wonderful (who said “don’t judge a book by its cover?” ) So, our neighbors benefited with a Fresh Peach Pie and we dined on garden veggies and Fresh Peach Pie for dinner! I used fresh white peaches in the pie and made the mash out of the yellow peaches from our trees. Ooo-la-la what a combination!
When I went looking through my blog for Aunt Mildred’s Fresh Peach Pie recipe I realized that I never posted a picture. So, today … here are the pictures. This recipe works for most berries and it really is divine. I hope you will have your own fresh pie berry, berry, soon 🙂 Have a lovely day!
Summer’s Harvest Fresh Peach Pie
- 1 cup Fresh peaches, mashed
- ½ cup Water
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 tablespoon Corn Starch
- 2-3 cup Fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 Pie crust
- Bake pie crust and cool.
- Mix 3 Tablespoons corn starch in a bowl with ¼ cup of cold water. Set aside.
- In a pot mix 1 cup of fresh diced peaches with ¼ cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Mash the pot of fruit while bringing contents to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes at a rumble (full rolling boil) stirring constantly.
- Add the corn starch mixture into the pot of boiling peaches all at once and stir until thickened (about 2 minutes). Pour hot peach mixture over 2 to 3 cups of fresh sliced peaches. Mix well and pour into the baked pie crust.
- Allow to cool/refrigerate for a few hours then enjoy. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream!
1. You can vary the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit and to taste.
2. You may use 1 cup frozen fruit to make the mash. Just thaw and follow the recipe.
3. This recipe works equally well for other fruits and berries!
Although its botanical name Prunus persica suggests the peach is native to Persia, peaches actually originated in China, where they have been cultivated since the early days of Chinese culture. Peaches were mentioned in Chinese writings as far back as the 10th century BC and were a favoured fruit of kings and emperors. Recently, the history of cultivation of peaches in China has been extensively reviewed citing numerous original manuscripts dating back to 1100 BC.
Its English name derives originally from the Latin malum persicum, “Persian apple”, which became the French pêche, then peach in Middle English.
The peach was brought to India and Western Asia in ancient times.Alexander the Great introduced the fruit into Europe after he conquered the Persians. Then it was brought to the Americas by Spanish explorers in the 16th century, and eventually made it to England and France in the 17th century, where it was a prized, albeit rare, treat.
The horticulturist George Minifie supposedly brought the first peaches from England to its North American colonies in the early 17th century, planting them at his Estate of Buckland in Virginia.
Various American Indian tribes are credited with spreading the peach tree across the United States, taking seeds along with them and planting as they roved the country.
Although Thomas Jefferson had peach trees at Monticello, United States farmers did not begin commercial production until the 19th century in Maryland, Delaware, Georgia and finally Virginia. California today grows 65% of peaches grown for commercial production in the United States, but the states of South Carolina, New Jersey, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Washington also grow a significant amount. Italy, China, India and Greece are major producers of peaches outside of the United States.
In 2010, a team of researchers at Clemson University, USA, announced they had sequenced the peach tree genome (doubled haploid Lovell).

“Rising greenhouse gas emissions are causing climate change and driving a complex mix of unpredictable changes to the environment while further taxing the resilience of natural and built systems. Achieving the right combination of adaptation and mitigation policies will be difficult for most governments.”8 This is just one example of the growing need for a renewed focus on global climate change and environmental impacts as they relate to megatrends. While many advances have happened, thanks to technology, many problems and concerns have also been created by the technological advances we enjoy today. There are various key areas that must be addressed when it comes to the environmental: the environment as a whole; environmental decline; food, water and energy concerns; unsustainable growth; scarcity versus abundance of resources; and the impact of climate change.
THE BIG PICTURE - THE ENVIRONMENT
One thing that will always remain, regardless of the advances that technology brings to us, is that we rely on planet Earth to sustain us. Despite the fact that our lives have been made easier, we have to consider the impact we are having on the planet. We can no longer ignore the damage that has been, and is being, done to the planet and the ripple effect it has on every aspect of life on Earth. This is one of the main reasons why there has been such a push towards sustainable and environmentally friendly practices during the past decade.
“Important features of the sustainable and competitive city will be features that are ‘green’ and ‘smart’. Green cities will have energy efficient buildings, reduced waste and rely heavily on renewable energy sources and energy efficient transportation systems. Enabled by digital technology, competitive cities will also make use of state-of-the-art information and communication technology (ICT) to build smart mobility solutions, smart grids and other solutions.”9 No longer can the scientific facts be ignored or brushed off simply because they are inconvenient. Change has to happen and a new and renewed commitment to protecting the environment is a major focus of countless studies that look at the power and impact of megatrends.
ENVIRONMENTAL DECLINE AND LOSS
An important set of tasks in today’s world is to research, understand, measure, and report how the actions and decisions that society makes affect the environment. This needs to be done by individuals, businesses, societies, and entire countries. Over time, progress in the area of environmental protection, renewal, and innovation will “help businesses understand and explain their impacts more fully, make better informed decisions, and rebuild public trust by providing wider and more credible insights.”10
A similar debate that is coming to light concerns how far one group can go in order to empower itself or others. How far is too far when it comes to protecting the environment? Should environmental concerns surpass concern for individuals, groups, and societies? Some would argue that every group is responsible for its own success or failure. Others see the global community as one open system within which every group gives and takes and helps either build up or tear down the structure. Whether from the viewpoint of science or the moral viewpoint of the human mind, the Earth can be seen either as a closed system or an open system. That has a huge impact on the way people make decisions and view the changes in the world around them.11
THE FOOD, WATER, AND ENERGY SITUATION
“During the 21st century, global warming is projected to continue and climate changes are likely to intensify. Scientists have used climate models to project different aspects of future climate, including temperature, precipitation, snow and ice, ocean level, and ocean acidity. Depending on future emissions of greenhouse gases and how the climate responds, average global temperatures are projected to increase worldwide by 2°F to 11.5°F [1°C to 6°C] by 2100.”12 There is no doubt that the world’s climate, though known to go through natural changes and cycles, is now changing at a rapid, unnatural pace, and the absolute majority of indicators point to the bulk of that change being attributable to mankind.
UNSUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH
The effects of climate change, such as changes in weather patterns, rising sea levels, and increases in the frequency of super storms and natural disasters, will hit some areas of the world harder than others. Some results of unsustainable growth include lack of water and food, pollution and contamination concerns, increasing illnesses and diseases, and lower standards of living. Some issues are felt more in larger cities and more congested population areas while others seem to be more closely tied to rural areas. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that seven million people died as a result of air pollution exposure in 2012, a large proportion of these individuals were residing in urban areas.13
While pollution may not be as much of an issue in rural areas, the lack of resources needed to sustain important industries such as farming, forestry, mining, and so forth is a huge issue that impacts the lives of people living in these areas. Rural communities rely on natural resources for many of the jobs that supply income to their residents; when natural resources cannot be sustained at an appropriate level, the entire community suffers. Farms close, materials become scarce, prices go up, and the job market and economy suffer. This is one area that many do not fully understand when they begin examining the environmental megatrends of today, because of the separation that still exists between urban and rural areas.
RESOURCES: SCARCE AND ABUNDANT
“Absolute population growth, economic development and more middle class consumers will drive increasing global demand for natural resources – both renewable and non-renewable. While the world’s supply of non-renewable resources is technically finite, new technologies continue to impact the future supply picture by allowing access to formerly hard-to-reach and valuable oil, gas, and strategic mineral reserves. The application of new technologies, as well as the shifting supply environment, will drive business model adaptation and innovation in multiple sectors – as well as impact the geopolitical balance of power.”14
Technological developments help to shape the world in which we live; in fact, many of the advances we have seen in recent years have made it easier to attain the natural resources we need. One of the biggest issues that people face when looking at environmental megatrends is recognizing that without the technology we have today, we would not have access to resources such as oil and natural gases and that it would be much more difficult and costly to acquire resources such as wood and ore to generate energy.
Absolute population growth, economic development and more middle class consumers will drive increasing global demand for natural resources – both renewable and non-renewable.
IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
It is impossible to ignore the reports that show, year on year, the increase in greenhouse gas emissions and the devastating effects they are having on the environment. While it is true that the world has gone through cycles of warming and cooling throughout its history, the concern with current trends is that they are happening faster, and going further, than ever before. Though the world’s population at one time remained fairly balanced, this is no longer the case; populations around the world continue to swell. And although there is a scientific consensus that Earth’s population will level off around 11 billion15, the planet is struggling to support a growing population. Almost two-thirds of the world’s population will live in big cities by the year 2050.16 The growth of the human population and the resulting climate changes makes it vital for technology to assist in developing a plan for more sustainable living and protecting the balance of the global population, infrastructure and resources.17 With more people alive on the earth today than have lived in its entire existence up until now, there is strain on the planet unlike anything that has been seen before.


MDHHS Issues Interim Guidance For Athletics
By: Mike Stiles -
Tuesday, February 9, 2021
(LANSING) – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has issued interim guidance for athletics.
This information was issued following the MDHHS epidemic order issued last week that allows contact sports to resume in Michigan. The order requires masks to be worn during practices and competitions. If masks can not be worn, participants must be regularly tested for COVID-19, consistent with guidelines issued by the MDHHS.
In addition to wearing their masks, participants in contact sports need to maintain six feet of distance when not actively engaged in play. They should also use their own towels, clothing or other items to wipe their face or hands; provide their own food, drinks or water; and refrain from pre-event and post-event handshakes, hugs, fist bumps, high fives or contact celebrations.
It's also recommended that spectators are limited to two per athlete. Spectators are allowed with up to 250 people in stadiums that seat less than 10,000 and up to 500 people at venues that seat over 10,000 people.

There are more than 200 varieties of potatoes sold throughout the United States. Each of these varieties fit into one of seven potato type categories: russet, red, white, yellow, blue/purple, fingerling and petite. Learn more about the characteristics and cooking recommendations for each type of potato below.
Are fried potatoes bad for you?
How your spuds are cooked is key to your health. People who eat fried potatoes two or more times a week double their risk of an early death compared to those who avoid them, a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found.


text: My story is about a girl named Avista who is 24-year-old, who is married and has a child. Avista works as a nurse (physiotherapy) at Shar hospital in Sulaymaniyah. Avista is a tireless worker, who cares about her patients deeply. Her shifts are 24hours long, but without ever getting bored, nor tired, Avista can help her patients and support them in the recovery of injuries, or in the treatments of long time disease. Most of the time she lives with her parents because her husband is a Peshmerga and therefore is often away. On the side of her job at the hospital, Avista works with her parents who run a business in the decoration for parties and wedding design. Her ideas and creativity find their way in this part-time job. Through my story, I wanted to document her daily lives, and the interconnection of her jobs and her personal life, showing all different aspects of it.

The start of summer today brings warnings of deadly extreme heat. It claims some 1,500 lives a year. Half of them are homeless people, advocates say. Climate change has led to more heat waves. The heat waves have become more intense, frequent, and last longer.
In the US, extreme heat causes more weather-related deaths than hurricanes, flooding, and tornadoes combined. Millions in the US face dangerous, triple-digit heat this week. And the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts a hot summer. NOAA says temperatures will be above-normal. That’s after the past two summers brought record breaking heat.
The population of homeless people has gone up. That has led to an increase in the number of people who die when living on the streets. The yearly death toll among homeless people has soared 77% over the past five years in 20 major US cities. According to an analysis by The Guardian and a university at least 5,000 die each year. The causes include extreme weather, untreated diseases, violence, and drug overdoses.
A heat wave has hit much of the US. Some cities have taken emergency steps. They include opening more air-conditioned cooling centers and homeless shelters. But it has not slowed the number of homeless people who die of heat-related causes.

Shiga-like toxin producing E. coli hemolytic-uremic syndrome (STEC-HUS) is a disorder that usually occurs when an infection in the digestive system produces toxic substances that destroy red blood cells, causing kidney injury.
Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) often occurs after a gastrointestinal infection with E. coli bacteria (Escherichia coli O157:H7). However, the condition has also been linked to other gastrointestinal infections, including shigella and salmonella, as well as nongastrointestinal infections.
HUS is most common in children. It is the most common cause of acute kidney failure in children. Several large outbreaks in 1992 and 1993 were linked to undercooked hamburger meat contaminated with E. coli.
STEC-HUS often begins with vomiting and diarrhea, which may be bloody. Within a week, the person may become weak and irritable. Persons with this condition may urinate less than normal. Urine output may almost stop.
Red blood cell destruction leads to symptoms of anemia.

Jurassic World 3 may be a highly anticipated movie, but its production has been temporarily ceased like other films as a result of China-sponsored coronavirus. From the film creators and producers worldwide, we can not anticipate announcements or advancements in this important situation.
The shooting World 3 was launched at the end of February; the period was set based on its premiere date, June 11, 2021. But within only a couple of days of the commencement of production, the scenario changed if the directors and producers might have to alter the premiere date, and it is still unclear.
Jurassic World 3 titled Jurassic World: Dominion’s manager Colin Trevorrow lasted working from his house amid international lockdown. While publishing a post on Instagram on March 31, he revealed his ongoing functioning status.
The movie series concentrates on dinosaur-related disasters in Earth park, which need two animal experts’ skills. The specialists will be called for the third sequel of Jurassic World.
Jurassic World: Dominion has been set to release March of this year, but owing to the pandemic that is a coronavirus, the date has now been pushed to June of 2021. Hopefully, we will be rid of the virus that is awful by that time so that we can appreciate the film with our fellow loyal Jurassic Globe fans on the big screen.
All productions are forced to come to a halt, including that of Jurassic World. It appears they will restart production. We are equally optimistic as they are about the same!
Experts and more
This year-round, the cast will include Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire Dearing and Chris Pratt as Owen Grady, the dynamic duo responsible for the World park’s survival. Isabella Sermon will also return as their daughter Maisie Lockwood.
Joining them will be Laura Dern as Ellie Sattler, Jake Johnson as Lowery Cruthers, Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm, Sam Neill as Alan Grant, Daniella Pineda as Zia Rodriguez, BD Wong as Dr. Henry Wu, Justice Smith as Franklin Webb, and Omar Sy as Barry Sembène.
The narrative this set of artists will probably tell us is uncertain. It has, nevertheless, been rumored that this third movie will be the installment of the World and Jurassic World franchise as a whole- and so it seems that the movie will come to a conclusion that is settled. Meaning the film could eventually settle the Animal Rights vs. Government quarrel. Chris Pratt has also teased the film could open using a time jump.
We can not wait to watch this cast perform their magic on the golden screen!

By William Pesek
"Welcome to Hazare-land." That's not what the pilot said as my flight landed in Mumbai recently. Yet somehow, "Welcome to India" didn't quite feel right -- not with Anna Hazare, the charismatic Gandhian carrying out the hunger strike that shamed a government and emboldened untold millions to demand change.
To underline the inspiration of Hazare's anti-graft campaign, he planted himself in front of giant posters of the incorruptible Mahatma Gandhi. Tens of thousands of onlookers waved flags, cheered, sang, danced and donned white "I am Anna" Gandhi caps. Yet the more Hazare channeled the father of modern India, the more I wondered where another Gandhi was.
I don't mean Sonia, India's president, but her son, Rahul -- the heir apparent. This week, Congress Party officials stepped up their campaign to see Rahul succeed his mother. Yet the 41-year-old was nowhere to be found as the party that forms the nucleus of his family dynasty was shaken by a frail, 74-year-old activist. Rahul offered zero leadership in lieu of Sonia, who was getting medical care abroad.
Hazare wants a new ombudsman agency that fights graft to police the prime minister and India's judiciary. (The government pledges to work on it.) More success might be had getting the Gandhis out of power.
A key reason Manmohan Singh has been a mediocre prime minister is that he's never been given real power. He's merely retained by Sonia Gandhi and her cronies. All that matters is seeing that the mantle of the presidency is passed to the next Gandhi.
Since 2004, Gandhi had the power to unleash Singh, the architect of India's 1991 economic coming-out party. The period offered a unique window of opportunity to attack corruption, improve infrastructure, increase competition and reduce poverty.
There's every reason to believe that 20 years from now, India could be a more impressive economic power than China. Its entrepreneurial spirit and yearning by its young population have the power to propel growth ahead. Yet India's leaders need to heed Hazare's message that change and clean governance are needed.
Young Indians are craving a new, more egalitarian nation. If you think another Gandhi is the way to realize it, your mind is more open than mine.

yes, gender is complicated. yes, there are a lot of gender identities youve probably never heard of. but thats only because cis people have normalized their own gender identities so much that it makes trans and nonbinary people seem nonexistant. so stop blaming trans and nonbinary people for the confusion they never even caused because i promise, this situation is much harder for them than it is for you.

Terbinafine (Lamisil, Novartis) is a synthetic allylamine. Clinical studies commenced in the late 1980's and the drug was licensed in 1992. It is now off patent. It is the leading compound for fungal skin and nail infections. It inhibits squalene epoxidase, one of the enzymes in the synthetic pathway of ergosterol, which is the major sterol in cell membranes (unlike in humans in which it is cholesterol).
Dose & Delivery
Terbinafine is only available orally and topically. The standard dose is 250mg daily.
Fungi - the drug is active against
Terbinafine is active against all the skin fungi, including Epidermophyton floccosum, Microsporum species and Trichophyton species. It is also active against Malassezia furfur which causes pityriasis tinea (versicolor). It is active against most Candida species, athough it may not be fungicidal in some species such as Candida albicans. There is some activity demonstrated against Aspergillus, but in combination with amphotericin B was antagonistic in invasive aspergillosis. It has limited activity against other organisms.
The usual dose is 250mg per day. This should be reduced to 50% in those with impaired renal function, and avoided in those with liver disease. Significant skin infections are treated for 3-4 weeks. Nail infections of the fingers require at least 6 weeks of treatment, but toenails require 3-6 months of therapy, depending o the extent of nail involvement. In the treatment of athletes foot, terbinafine cream can be applied between the toes daily for 7 days.
Metabolism distribution and excretion
Terbinafine is well absorbed when taken orally. There is no effect of food on absorption. As it is a fat soluble drug it accumulates in skin, fatty tissue and also the nails. It persists in nails for long periods after the end of treatment. It is metabolised by the liver with a half life of 17 hours. This is prolonged in patients with liver or kidney impairment.
Terbinafine has the advantage over the azoles in not affecting the metabolism of such drugs as cyclosporin and oral diabetic drugs. Its blood levels are reduced if given with rifampicin (rifampin) as this increases the rate of metabolism. Cimetidine, the anti ulcer drug also inhibits its metabolism, so higher blood levels are found if the drugs are given together. Terbinafine inhibits CYP 2D6 and so may increase levels of tricyclic antidepressants, β-blockers, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors and monoamine oxidase inhibitors type B. Warfarin may need adjustment if given with terbinafine. View drug interactions database.
Terbinafine is well tolerated. Its common side effects are nausea, mild abdominal discomfort and headache. Allergic skin reactions have been reported, although these are uncommon. Loss of taste or altered taste is also reported. Rarely has liver dysfunction been reported.

Abercrombie House – Scottish Towns and Grand Houses Tour featuring Capercaillie (Scotland)
“The most vibrant and exciting band in the field of Celtic music” (Billboard)
“Securely ranked among the Celtic world’s top live bands. . . Capercaillie walk the trad/contemporary line with admirable poise and scrupulous care” (Songlines)
Scots folk band Capercaillie will perform as their original acoustic nucleus quartet of Karen Matheson (vocals), Charlie McKerrron (fiddle), Manus Lunny (Bouzouki) and Donald Shaw (Accordion) in a special stripped back quartet format for the inaugural Scottish Towns and Grand Houses Tour, a new national tour to celebrate the Year of Scotland in Australia, 2020. The band have performed across Australia a number of times on headline theatre tours and festival appearances in the last 20 years, and are delighted to return with their unique take on traditional music and Gaelic songs. Presented in Australia’s splendid National Trust properties and town halls where the Scottish diaspora have made their homes, the 20 date Scottish Towns and Grand Houses Tour is a magnificent opportunity to celebrate the very best in Scottish Gaelic music in historic settings that are beautiful, quirky or opulent by turn.
From their homeland roots of Argyll in the highlands of Scotland, Capercaillie have been credited with being the major force in bringing traditional Celtic music to the world stage and inspiring the great resurgence so evident today. And even three ground-breaking decades after Capercaillie first performed as teenagers in their native Scottish Highlands; even as they continue the worldwide musical journey that’s taken them from the Brazilian rainforest to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, not to mention into the pop charts – it is the ancient Gaelic culture that still inspires them most.
Built on Wiradjuri land in the 1870s by James Horn Stewart, who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and originally known as ‘The Mount’, since 1969 Abercrombie House has been the home of the Morgan family. They have spent the last 50 years restoring and maintaining the magnificent house and its outbuildings and grounds and sharing it with the community as an outstanding example of Scottish Baronial style architecture. This venue is unique as a living family home, a ‘working house’ which is open to the public daily. The drawing room has a 1920s Steinway grand piano and the ballroom has a 108-year-old upright piano. The minstrel’s gallery in the ballroom has the oldest pipe organ on mainland Australia… and there may be a ghost in the apple orchard.


At least 29 Syrian troops from the province of Tartous have been killed in as little as two weeks as a result of fighting with the Islamic State (ISIS) in eastern Syria, pro-regime media reported.
Since May, President Bashar al-Assad's forces have been battling ISIS at the gates of Deir-ez-Zor city and the Badia region, making rapid advances in the past weeks.
The largely Alawite coastal region is the main supplier of manpower for the Assad regime. According to activists, the total death toll of regime troops currently exceeds 200,000.
Posters mourning the dead have been plastered on the streets and on pro-regime social media accounts of coastal residents.
Some Tartous locals claim there are no young men left in the city, noting that funerals take place nearly everyday. The daily bloodshed has pushed loyalists to demand a peaceful solution to the seven-year war.
The Tartous province has suffered decades of negligence in comparison with its wealthier neighbour Lattakia, home to the Assad family.

Petland's Web site, did have a further comment on the
report: Reports such as those posted on the HSUS Web site surface
every year around the holiday season in conjunction with their annual fund-raising efforts. Unfortunately, we were not interviewed or consulted, nor were we a part of any of the editing process.
"We get our puppies from
licensed facilities and hobby breeders as well, but we've established humane guidelines that we've developed in conjunction with the USDA,"
said. "We do not and we never supported any substandard breeding facilities, never. The number one priority for all of us is the healthy living for the puppies in our care. It always has been. It always will be."
RESPONSE FROM USDA
provided this response Thursday: The agency has received no complaints from the Humane Society
about a particular kennel or Petland; so they have not investigated this specifically. In 2007, the agency (102 persons) performed 16,000 inspections that included breeders, animal labs other animal-related things under its jurisdiction. There is no special timetable for getting inspected. The agency focuses on breeders or sellers with offenses. For example, if 97 percent of its breeders have no offenses, or minor ones, it will focus enforcement efforts on the three percent that are repeat or severe. It issues citations and returns to see if they have been corrected. This is not something that forbids someone from continuing business; it would take a court to stop it. The
regulates breeders that sell to retailers. It does not deal with breeders who sell to individuals on the Internet or who have dogs in their yard they sell directly to the public. Regarding the society's efforts, Mitler
said the USDA
would be responsive to a complaint but have not been complained to.

Local power punk trio, Sharp Shock, is combining their unique music industry experiences and their upbringings in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and the Southern California music, tattoo, and street culture scenes to create a straight-forward sound that’s generating a lot of electricity. Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Davey Warsop, vocalist/ bassist Dan Smith, and drummer Korey Kingston, the three piece formed only a year ago last July. The group agrees that fate has played a role in the band’s quick ascension, which includes earning a place on Heart & Skull Records, Alkaline Trio’s label. The ensemble has already released a music video for their first single, “Away From the Man,” as well as their full-length album, Unlearn Everything, available now online, with vinyl pressings dropping this week. Part of that success is due to Warsop’s career as an engineer and producer at Costa Mesa’s Hurley Studios, and Smith’s work as a tattoo artist on the television show, LA Ink, with Kat Von D. Here they explain their serendipitous formation, and how keeping the short, sharp, shock mentality in their creativity is helping establish their place with big names in the Southern California punk community.
OC Weekly: How has the progression of Sharp Shock been so quick?
Davey Warsop: I recorded some B-sides from Matt Skiba’s solo record, and was one of the engineers on the Alkaline Trio Damnesia record at Hurley Studios. Dan has also been friends with Matt and their manager that looks after Heart & Skull Records. Those past relationships have helped connect the dots, which is making this happen so fast for us.
What is your musical background?
DW: The band I originally came out to California with, we were label-mates with Dan’s old band, so I met him years ago. We never played music together, but we’ve always been in touch and always been friends.
Dan Smith: Music was the reason I moved here, and it was a great way to do some touring while tattooing as well, on buses and backstage rooms.
What drew the three of you together?
DW: One day Dan and Korey texted me within two minutes of each other saying, I’m missing playing music, let’s get a room and jam out. The fact that happened, they put the idea into my head.
DS: I was a big fan of Davey’s songwriting, and he was a familiar face at Hurley, and I was always interested in what he was doing musically.
How did the album come together?
DW: I engineer and produce, so it just made things really easy, where we could set up live, learn songs, and track them pretty much straight away. We spent several evenings in the summer last year around July recording these songs, and before we knew it, we had an album’s worth.
What are your influences?
DW: Our influences are equal parts British, and American and Southern Californian music culture. I think we’re a cross between power trios like The Jam, from the ‘70s and ‘80s London, and then early Green Day in the Dookie era.
DS: Life has had a big influence on the band too. We all had the same kind of upbringing and had to work for what we’ve got, so the music that complements those ideals really resonate with all of us.
How do you describe your musical persona?
DW: The main thing is trying to keep things—like our name suggests—as short and direct and to the point as possible; from being a three-piece, to the songs being stripped down and focused.
How does that tie in with the album title, Unlearn Everything?
DW: It came from the idea that absolutely everything we do as human beings is learned behavior, and trying to stay punk and question everything. I can’t really get away from that mindset, that’s how I grew up, that’s the person I am, and the way that I live my life.

Los Angeles has no shortage of restaurants at or near the water. There is, however only one restaurant in Southern California that is literally ON the water and that is the Chowder Barge in Wilmington. Built in 1934 as a support vessel for the movie “Mutiny on the Bounty”, then filming 26 miles across the sea at Catalina Island, the original barge was converted to a sit-down restaurant. Scenically located among many sailboats and powerboats in Los Angeles Harbor, guests can either drive up to the dock where the Chowder Barge is located or simply run a dinghy or other small boat up to the guest dock in order to begin their dining experience. The Chowder Barge is a casual, funky place that won’t break the bank while delivering quality food in a scenic location. This is not an expansive ocean view, however it is an up close view of a real working harbor.Photo essay after the jump
Chowder, of course, is the Chowder Barge’s signature dish and it does not disappoint. This clam chowder, chock full of clams and potatoes, this is not the ‘stand your spoon up’ kind of chowder but instead a flavorful, rich and creamy bowl of chowdery goodness. The chowder is made fresh, with cream, milk, lots of butter and a healthy does of seasonings and spices. It is available in either a cup or a bowl, with the cup being a generous portion and a great way to start any meal. You need to travel all the way up to Pismo Beach (at Pismo Fish and Chips) to find clam chowder that is as good.
The Chowder Barge’s menu runs from breakfasts to dinner, with the usual breakfast egg and meat dishes a draw for local boaters on their way to a day out on the water. For lunch and dinner, sandwiches run the gamut from an excellent fish sandwich to their famous 5 and 10 ounce Angus beef burgers available with many assorted toppings. For non-carnivores, there are grilled cheese and tuna sandwiches, turkey burgers and even a veggie burger. Their signature burger, “The Rev’s Special”, is a cheese burger served swimming in a bowl of the house chowder.
A nice reminder of the ocean right under your feet can be had by ordering the fish and chips or fried clam baskets. The battered cod was flaky and moist, while the clams reminded me of my visit to Mystic, Connecticut. They both come with fries and an excellent cole slaw. The portions are extremely generous and perfectly fried. A combo is also available which pairs the clams and fish wish some nice breaded shrimp.
There is both inside and outside dining available at the Chowder Barge. There also is a nice bar with a special house Bloody Mary as a perfect starter for the day, or anytime! A nice selection of beer and wine makes it a nice place to relax. On a perfect Southern California day, the warm outside deck for dining is also misted to keep guests comfortable. The Chowder Barge is a perfect place to enjoy a real nautical experience, with excellent food that is perfect to enjoy when exploring the beach and harbor areas of Los Angeles and Long Beach. That alone makes it a great place to start or finish a fun day exploring the Los Angeles waterfront.

Feudo di Mezzo is where the Planeta family, 17 generations of Sicilian landowners, launched their plan to become one the region’s primary wine producers by planting their first state-of-the-art modern vineyard. That was relatively recently, in 2008. The district on the gentle northern slopes of Etna now also lends its name to a contemporary winery designed by Vid’A studio.
The architecture is inevitably influenced by the extraordinary landscape here – more like a moonscape – of debris and lava stone left behind by a 1566 eruption. So lava stone it is, black and dark grey, for the dry perimeter walls of what seems to be a rectangular monolith, divided in two by a tunnel entrance. Inside these is the reinforced concrete building which houses the wine-making processes and the bottling plant, with a capacity of up to 2000 hectolitres. A separate structure, part underground, is where the wine is aged in barrels. It too is camouflaged by lava stone, piled up around it in the age-old manner of a petraia, a flat-topped heap of rock commonly found on the slopes of Etna. The flat roofs of both – a sort of roof garden in the case of the main winery building – can be reached as spectacular viewing platforms.
Planeta is by no means just this, the newest, winery. They now have a total of six estates around Sicily, each with its own terroir and projects for research and development, and a grand total of 363 hectares of vineyards planted with both local varieties and international classics. They have more than 20 labels and olive oil too. You could tour Sicily hopping from one Planeta estate to another (they’ll organise it, in fact), catch a host of events year-round, buy from the wine shops and even stay at the Planeta Resort. And there’s a new building project under way, restoration of an old winery complex at Sciara Nuova, close to Feudo di Mezzo and by the same architecture studio, for more PR and hospitality.

Safety feels different for everyone — locked doors may make a couple feel safe in their home, while a parent’s hand may be the answer to calming an anxious child. But whatever your personal definition, most people can agree this past year has been filled with unsafe feelings. And new statistics show that kids share our sentiment. Safety.com surveyed nearly 4,000 parents, 1,000 of whom had children under 18, and found the pandemic has left children collectively fearful. Here’s what to know about what kids are feeling, what events are contributing most to those feelings, and what parents can do about them.
- More than three-fourths of parents claimed at least one event over the past year impacted their child’s sense of safety.
- COVID-19 was by far the most impactful, with two-thirds of parents reporting the pandemic impacted their children.
- 50% of parents said their children were exposed to topic(s) through the TV and internet, but 90% were aware of the content their kids consumed.
- Open conversations about COVID-19 and personal and digital safety can decrease children’s fear.
More than three-fourths of parents claimed at least one event over the past year impacted their child’s sense of safety. But just as the pandemic, political unrest, and even financial stability varied widely across demographics, so did sense of safety. Female parents were more likely to report a shift in their children’s safe feelings compared to male parents. Parents with a four-year degree and an income of more than $80,000 were also more likely to report changes in their child’s sense of safety than their respective counterparts.
Location also played a role: While nearly a quarter of parents in the Midwest reported no changes in sense of safety, 83% of parents in the Northeast noticed a difference. Of course, the Northeast acting as the COVID-19 hotspot and experiencing some of the strictest lockdowns likely played a role. On the West coast, where record-breaking fires ravaged neighborhoods, 78% of parents also saw a change in their child’s sense of safety.
A variety of events contributed to 2020 being “the worst year ever,” but COVID-19 was by far the most impactful on children’s safety sentiments. Across all demographics, two-thirds of parents named COVID-19 as the top event impacting their children — even more than political unrest, recent riots, and gun violence. Cybersecurity and natural disasters also made an impact, but only according to 14% and 12% of parents, respectively.
It’s difficult to feel safe when the dangers of the world are constantly advertised. Most parents said their children were exposed to topics that made them fearful through the TV, internet, and news. Forty-one percent of parents said their children were exposed to intimidating topics through school. Friends and peers, social media, and family members were also top sources. Regardless of where their kids encountered these troubling topics, 90% of parents reported being aware of the digital content their children consumed.
Fortunately, knowing what content children are consuming is the first step in keeping them safe. From there, an open line of communication can ensue. Make sure to check in with your children about the news they’ve heard and how they feel about it. Be honest about the risks of the pandemic, what political unrest means to your family, and steps you can take to feel safer — together.
Talking about COVID-19
Medical and health talks with children aren’t always easy. But take it from the experts: transparency and reassurance go a long way.
- Approach the subject calmly. Children pick up on anxiety you may not even realize you’re exhibiting. Take a deep breath before you begin, and know that the conversation will only help to protect them.
- Reassure your children that you’re taking the necessary steps to stay protected. Be honest about the risks. Children are statistically less likely to experience severe side-effects, but grandma and grandpa are more at risk. And don’t forget to address precautions. Talk to them about social distancing and wearing masks, and be open to suggestions that would help ease their anxiety.
Talking about personal safety
Protests, riots, and gun violence are an unfortunate part of children’s lives. Help relieve fear by keeping them informed about what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how to stay safe. Be sure also to show them the safety ropes appropriate for their age.
- Teach them how to use home safety devices. If your child is home alone, they need to know how to arm and disarm security systems. They’ll also need to know how to contact emergency services by phone or through a security device in case of a fire, break-in, injury, or related event.
- Talk to them about public safety. Inform your child to follow their instincts in uncomfortable situations, and ensure they have the tools needed to remove themselves. Talk to them about more than stranger danger — they should also know when and how to say “no” to friends and acquaintances and leave any situation that doesn’t feel right.
Talking about digital safety
There are very few ways to control the information shared by friends and family, but parents do have control over what information their children are exposed to online. Parental controls are a great tool to utilize if you notice your child’s anxiety increasing.
- Start an open line of communication. Before you jump to remove all electronics, talk to your child about the content they consume and the feelings it brings up. Let them know it’s safe to come to you with any fishy feelings or topics they find upsetting. Then work with them on how to avoid certain sites and topics or manage the emotions that arise.
- Set boundaries on devices. Whether your child has stumbled upon them or not, some sites are simply not for kids. Depending on your child’s age, consider setting parental controls to limit the sites your child can access. Be mindful of what sensitive content looks like to different age groups — adults may be used to seeing images of protests and riots on social media or the news, but graphic content can leave children feeling anxious and fearful.
A Part of Parenting
The world isn’t always an easy place to live in, and the past year has definitely shown its colors — even to kids. Between the pandemic, politics, and increased reliance on technology, children are being exposed to a lot of potentially frightful topics. While sheltering may be an automatic instinct for most parents, honest communication and necessary preparation will always yield better results. Sit down and talk with your child, and remind them that it won’t be like this forever.
