This structure allows the underpass of the A-6 Motorway under Cardenal Cisneros Square, located in University City of Madrid. It consists on the one hand of an original slab built in 1975, with 25.00 m span..
This slab was enlarged in 1995 both longitudinally (4.40 m to the abutment No. 1, with the same depth of 1.10 m) and transversally, with a slab of 13.00 m width (right enlargement, towards Madrid) and 18 00 m width (left enlargement, to A Coruna), reducing the depth of the slab to 0.80 m. There are four expansion-joints, in the abutments two transverse and two longitudinal between the original slab and each enlargement.
The original walls of the underpass are made with diaphragm walls, where rest the concrete slab. The new retaining walls, with 0.8 and 0.6 m thick (required on the west side to extend the structure) are free at the crown and in the underpass area the slab rests upon them by neoprene bearings. The total length of the diaphragm walls, are lined by brickmasonry (242.50 m). These walls of variable height between 0.20 and 5.20 m have no foundation and are crowned with prefabricated cornices. There are IPN-160 horizontal profiles, only when the heights are higher than 2.85 m, and they are not anchored to the slurry wall.
The damages of this structure consisted mainly of a significant deformation of the slabs, and the consequent appearance of fissures, presence of moisture, patinas and efflorescence. On the masonry linings of the walls a horizontal shift of its coronation (overturning) have been noticed, besides the break of the brick bonding..

What else can we say but THANK YOU for your tireless work promoting and educating the public about your programs! The commencement ceremonies, proclamations, social media posts, and graduate success stories are what make National Drug Court Month great. Please continue to send us your artwork for our Art of Recovery contest! Here’s a small portion of all the amazing activity from week three!
U.S. Senator John Boozman encourages Arkansans
On Monday, Sen. John Boozman was the keynote speaker honoring more than 130 graduates of drug and veterans treatment courts in Benton County, Arkansas. Said Boozman, “It’s a privilege to get to partner with you on getting our family, friends, and neighbors the support and care they need in a very deliberate and effective way.”
National mentor court receives recognition
Illinois’ Cook County Rehabilitative Alternative Probation program honored graduates and the team were honored themselves when they received their designation as a national mentor court! While he could not attend in person, U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin sent a heartfelt video message to the Cook County graduates to recognize their hard work and congratulate the RAP program on its national recognition.
Detroit treatment courts graduate two dozen
Michigan’s 36th District Drug Treatment Court, also a national mentor court, had a celebration of their own: “Two dozen graduates of the 36th District Court’s specialty treatment courts received diplomas and praises for their accomplishments of overcoming their addiction and embarking on new lives.”
Veterans Affairs blog tells a recovery story
The VAntage Point blog features the recovery story of Kevin Rumley, the director of North Carolina’s Buncombe County Veterans Treatment Court. “After 10 subsequent attempts at recovery, Rumley’s doctor suggested Suboxone…’It ended up saving my life,’ Rumley attested. ‘I had ideas around me being a failure if I took medications, but my VA doctor reframed my thinking…I realized every person at VA cared for me deeply both as a veteran and as a person and truly wanted me to be healthy and whole. I started feeling necessary.”
Austin DWI court holds first in-person ceremony
Texas’ Travis County DWI Court honored graduates in person for the first time since the pandemic began. Judge Elisabeth Earle tweeted, “First in-person DWI court graduation since COVID began. DWI courts and drug courts promote accountability and provide treatment helping participants address addiction and find a better path. Saving lives and tax dollars while improving public safety.”
Family treatment court sees lives changed and families reunited
North Carolina’s 8th Judicial Family Accountability and Recovery Court recently celebrated five family treatment court graduates! “This is just one of the thousands of individual stories that demonstrate why treatment courts are so critical in the effort to address addiction and related crime.”
Headline of the week: “West Virginia adult drug treatment programs provide success that could last generations”
This in-depth article features the lifesaving work of the federal adult drug treatment court based in Clarksburg, as well as local treatment courts across the state. “The work that we do in our treatment court represents really the very best, I think, of the judicial system, working in a collaborative way to make meaningful and effective change that’s good for the individual and the community,” said U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael John Aloi.

How did I fail in powering up my RC resource credits points
So, here I am again at the end of the season trying to renew my big power rented cards. But I had left with only 2RC (Resource Credits). I will learn soon that for every transaction I need 3 RC.
Being noob still (started in sept 2021), I started searching for youtube explanation how to power up this RC. Jarvie's video is probably the best. With one information missing.
Every single transaction takes 3 RC.
Long story short.
tribaldex.com wallet: Changed 10DEC (I'm cheap I know, alright) into 0.0375 hive = 3RC
tribaldex.com wallet: Withdrawn 0.036 hive to splinterlands = 3RC
peakd.com: Powered up hive to my splinterlands account = 4RC
Result: With my 0.36 hive I've got 0 RC and lost 10 hours of life (waiting to my RC points to recoup so I can do a transaction).
So, 10DEC is not enough, at least 100DEC should suffice. But then again, for a bronze (wanna be silver) player, that's too much of DEC waisted.
Is there a better way?
And Grammar Nazi's go easy on me, I had rough day, alright. Cheers!
OH! Even publishing this post costs 3RC. I have 1RC now, so I need to wait another 2 hours. :D
P.S. While I was waiting to publish this article (4 hours after my failed powering up RC attempt with 0.036 hive), out of nowhere I've got 40 RC.

Brain plasticity is a fundamental ability of the brain to change and adapt in response to experience and learning. This ability allows the brain to develop, change, and improve throughout life, even into adulthood. Brain plasticity is essential for the human capacity for learning, memory, thinking, and motor skills.
Neuroplasticity occurs at the synaptic level, that is, in the place where nerve cells or neurons communicate with each other. Synaptic plasticity refers to the ability of neurons to modify the strength of these connections between them in response to experience. Synaptic plasticity is essential for learning and the formation of new neural connections.
Tabla de contenido
Types of synaptic plasticity
There are different types of synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD). LTP occurs when neurons fire repeatedly, strengthening the synaptic connection between them, while LTD occurs when neurons fire less frequently, weakening the synaptic connection.
The importance of puzzles in brain plasticity
Performing cognitively stimulating activities, such as puzzles, is one of the most effective ways to improve brain plasticity. Puzzles are a cognitive activity that involves problem solving and the activation of different brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex, the parietal cortex, and the temporal cortex.
Puzzles can improve brain plasticity by activating and strengthening synaptic connections in these brain areas. Also, puzzles can improve memory and attention, which in turn can improve learning ability. Attention is an important factor in completing puzzles, as it requires concentration and careful focus to solve them.
Puzzles in rehabilitation after brain injury
Puzzling puzzles can also be helpful in rehabilitation after brain injury. Brain injuries can damage synaptic connections, which can affect cognitive and motor ability. Jigsaw puzzles can help strengthen damaged synaptic connections, which can improve recovery and rehabilitation after brain injury.
In addition, puzzles may be useful in preventing age-related cognitive decline. Aging can reduce brain plasticity and cognitive ability. Puzzles can improve brain plasticity and help maintain cognitive ability in adulthood.
In conclusion, performing cognitively stimulating activities, such as puzzles, can improve brain plasticity through the activation and strengthening of synaptic connections in different brain regions. Puzzles can improve memory, attention, and learning ability, which may be beneficial in rehabilitation after brain injury and in the prevention of age-related cognitive decline. Therefore, doing puzzles is an effective and accessible way to improve brain plasticity and promote overall cognitive health.

Reactions to FCC Chairman Pai's Net Neutrality Proposal
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai revealed his plans for rolling back network neutrality rules during a speech at the Newseum in Washington, DC. Chairman Pai said he plans to hand regulatory jurisdiction of broadband providers back to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Chairman Pai's much-anticipated speech outlining next steps on net neutrality regulation drew immediate response from inside and outside the Beltway.
Adrianne Furniess, Executive Director of the Benton Foundation: "It is always a sad day when government regulators choose commercial interests over the public interest. When the FCC’s net neutrality rules were adopted in February 2015, the Benton Foundation proclaimed them 'the greatest commitment ever made to preserve and protect an open and free Internet.' Today, FCC Chairman Pai and Commissioner O’Rielly celebrated their latest moves to favor large Internet service providers over the American values of access and equity, democracy and diversity, opportunity and innovation. The message I heard from the commissioners and other speakers: 'No one is against net neutrality; we’re just against any rules to ensure it.' Chairman Pai’s plan is not what the American people want or are asking for. Americans want to employ any legal applications, content, devices, and services of their choosing on the broadband networks they rely on. Americans want the Internet to remain a platform for all consumers, content creators, and innovators, regardless of their ability to pay infrastructure owners special fees for special access. I am sure the American people will tell Chairman Pai and Commissioner O’Rielly what they want. I hope the commissioners will listen."
Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John Thune (R-SD), House Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR), Senate Communications Subcommittee Chairman Roger Wicker (R-MS), and House Communications Subcommittee Chairman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN): “We have long said that imposing a Depression-era, utility-style regulatory structure onto the internet was the wrong approach, and we applaud Chairman Pai’s efforts to roll back these misguided regulations. Consumers want an open internet that doesn’t discriminate on content and protects free speech and consumer privacy. It’s now time for Republicans and Democrats, internet service providers, edge providers, and the internet community as a whole to come together and work toward a legislative solution that benefits consumers and the future of the internet.”
Sen Amy Klobuchar (D-MN): “As a supporter of a free and open internet, I am disappointed that Chairman Pai is taking steps to roll back net neutrality protections for consumers. The protections that are in place today are working. They hold internet service providers accountable to the expectations consumers have for internet access while protecting innovation and competition. I will oppose any actions that take us in the wrong direction.”
FTC Acting Chairman Ohlhausen: “I welcome Chairman Pai’s announcement as an important step toward restoring the FTC’s ability to protect broadband subscribers from unfair and deceptive practices, including violations of their privacy. Those consumer protections were an unfortunate casualty of the FCC’s 2015 decision to subject broadband to utility-style regulation. I look forward to working with Chairman Pai and other stakeholders to return to broadband subscribers the consumer protections they deserve.”
Michael Copps, former FCC chair and current Common Cause special advisor: “By re-opening the FCC’s historic 2015 Open Internet Order, the FCC is jeopardizing core protections for online free speech and competition. Chairman Pai appears more interested in currying favor with cable and telecom industry lobbyists than in serving the millions of Americans who wrote and called to urge the commission, during the original rulemaking, to provide strong protections against online blocking, throttling, or censorship. Ending net neutrality would be a body blow to the open dialogue upon which successful self-government depends. It would be a red light for democracy and a green light for cable and telecom giants to control where we go and what we do on the internet. The FCC, Congress, and President Trump are risking the wrath of millions of Americans who depend daily on affordable access to the open internet."
Ryan Clough, General Counsel at Public Knowledge: “If enacted, Chairman Pai’s plan would dismantle the legal foundation of the Open Internet. Title II gives the FCC clear authority to enforce fundamental principles of non-discrimination, user control, and permissionless innovation. Pai’s proposal would throw all of the current net neutrality rules into doubt. Pai claims that internet openness was already protected prior to the classification of broadband service under Title II. But he conveniently ignores the preceding decade of history, during which net neutrality principles were periodically violated by ISPs, and where the FCC struggled to enforce net neutrality principles outside of Title II, losing repeatedly in the courts. Chairman Pai claims to be for a free and open internet, but he didn’t say in his speech which net neutrality protections, if any, he plans to retain. However, it’s already clear that Pai’s proposal will transfer power from consumers to the broadband monopolies, giving them more room to act as gatekeepers, standing between internet users and their choice of online applications and services. Under Pai’s vision, the internet would be increasingly governed by an opaque web of secret commercial arrangements between the big ISPs and major internet services, all in the name of promoting ‘investment.’ The broadband monopolies would have far more latitude to favor their own vertically-integrated content and services over competitors. This proposal is Washington policymaking at its worst -- an alignment of government regulators with dominant industry interests. And it’s particularly unfortunate to hear the Chairman of the FCC deploy fact-free rhetoric about supposed ‘government control over the internet’ -- a baseless distortion of the actual issues at stake in this debate. Telephone providers are, and will continue to be, regulated under Title II of the Communications Act, but the government doesn’t control your conversations and doesn’t let anyone else interfere in your conversations. From the beginning, the internet was designed to give control to the user -- to decentralize power away from any single network owner. This openness and freedom has been the foundation of the internet’s growth and success, to the point that many now take it for granted. However, Chairman Pai’s speech makes clear that, if Americans want to keep effective protections for the open internet, they will have to fight for them.”
Carmen Scurato, director of policy and legal affairs at the National Hispanic Media Coalition:"Moving forward with Chairman Pai’s plan would be a loss for Americans everywhere. Dismantling net neutrality opens the door for corporations to limit free expression, organizing efforts, educational opportunities and entrepreneurship by imposing a new toll to access information online. It would also undermine the ability of low-income Americans to get and stay online, as the Lifeline Program that supports broadband discounts would also be jettisoned in Pai’s vision to make the internet work for giant Internet Service Providers, at the expense of consumers. For Latinos and other people of color, who have long been misrepresented or underrepresented by traditional media outlets, an open internet is the primary destination for our communities to share our stories in our own words–without being blocked by powerful gatekeepers motivated by profit. For all of us, the right to communicate freely online is at risk and millions will raise their voices against Pai’s plan to reverse our collective work to affirm net neutrality and extend the Lifeline Program to a greater number of people.”
World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee: "When I invented the web, I didn’t have to ask anyone for permission, and neither did America’s successful internet entrepreneurs when they started their businesses. To reach its full potential, the internet must remain a permissionless space for creativity, innovation and free expression. In today's world companies can't operate without internet, and access to it is controlled by just a few providers. The FCC's announcements today suggest they want to step back and allow concentrated market players to pick winners and losers online. Their talk is all about getting more people connected, but what is the point if your ISP only lets you watch the movies they choose, just like the old days of cable?"
Joshua Stager, policy counsel at New America’s Open Technology Institute: “This is a solution in search of a problem. The internet economy is doing quite well—investment is up, job growth is strong, and small businesses are innovating. Chairman Pai’s proposal throws all of that into disarray, creating the one thing we know businesses don’t like: uncertainty. Without strong net neutrality protections, consumers and commerce are vulnerable. Venture capitalists will be disinclined to invest in new companies that depend on the internet to reach customers — which, in today’s market, is virtually every business. This is why hundreds of startups issued a letter today asking Pai to preserve the Open Internet Order. Chairman Pai and his allies in Congress should listen to small businesses and leave the Open Internet Order alone. Furthermore, Chairman Pai was simply wrong when he said the internet wasn’t broken in 2015. In 2013 and 2014, the nation’s biggest ISPs—Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, and Time Warner Cable—allowed their networks to become critically congested. Millions of Americans were frustrated by degraded speeds and unusable video connections—and they didn’t know why it was happening. In reality, their ISP was playing a dangerous congestion game to extract new payments from transit networks and edge providers. American internet users were just the collateral damage. For these millions of people, the internet was very much ‘broken.’ The FCC’s rules addressed this problem.”
Adonis Hoffman, chairman of Business in the Public Interest and former chief of staff to Democratic commissioner and former chair Mignon Clyburn: "The ongoing open internet debate should have spawned new thinking about government regulation by now, but it has not. Proponents of Title II are mired in their positions, and opponents have yet to come up with a compelling case that allays the fears."
ACLU Washington chief of staff Michael Macleod-Ball: “By proposing to arbitrarily reverse FCC’s 2015 decision to provide consumer protections against discriminatory ISP practices, Chairman Pai offers a slap in the face to the four million people who offered supportive comments to the original rulemaking adopting the protections. There is no defensible justification for such a move and the speed with which the action is being taken belies the naked political calculation at play.”
Jonathan Schwantes, senior policy counsel for Consumers Union, the policy and mobilization arm of Consumer Reports: “Doing away with net neutrality rules could ultimately mean doing away with the internet as we know it. Net neutrality rules keep the internet open for all and ensure consumers can access the websites and apps they – not their internet service provider – choose. Rather than leveling the playing field to spur competition and innovation, Chairman Pai’s proposal would allow a select few corporations to choose winners and losers. The only way to ensure that all content is treated equally is to keep the the internet classified as a public utility. In this digital age, where individuals and businesses rely on the internet every day, it should no longer even be a question. Voluntary commitments from broadband providers to adhere to net neutrality ‘principles’ are simply not a substitute — especially when there would be no cop left on the beat with the authority to ensure providers stick to their promises. Millions of consumers voiced their support for net neutrality rules — the flood of public comments literally crashed the FCC’s website. Now we need the new Chairman to pay heed to the voice of the people, not just the voices of corporations. We will continue to fight for an open internet because it is essential to free speech, free access to information, and innovation and economic growth. Consumer activism was key to getting these rules passed and will be just as important, if not more, in protecting them now. We urge all consumers to make their voices heard and oppose these efforts."
NCTA president Michael Powell: “We welcome Chairman Pai’s announcement that he intends to reverse the prior FCC’s flawed decision that forced heavy-handed public utility regulation on today’s dynamic internet networks. Restoring the FCC’s traditional bipartisan ‘light-touch’ approach will reestablish a better framework to advance consumer protection and to support the continued growth and expansion of internet networks throughout America. Reversing the classification of internet services will not change the commitment of cable ISPs to provide an open internet experience for our customers. We do not block, throttle or otherwise interfere with consumers’ desire to go where they want on the internet. A more modern regulatory framework will not change our commitment to such practices. But consumers are best served by policies that encourage ongoing investment and innovation especially as technology changes, as network demands increase, and as we focus on closing the digital divide in every community across America. While we applaud and support Chairman Pai’s call to correct past mistakes through the rulemaking process, we are mindful that only Congress has the power to conclusively settle this debate and provide the FCC with clear authority to enforce specific open internet principles. We renew our support for bipartisan legislation that will end this decades-old legal controversy and permanently enshrine enforceable open internet principles in statute. Such action will allow everyone to move beyond endless partisan debate and allow our industry to focus on building the world-class networks that creates jobs and advances American prosperity.”
Charter chairman Tom Rutledge: “Charter’s support for an open internet is an integral part of our commitment to deliver a superior broadband experience to our customers. That will never change. FCC Chairman Pai today signaled a welcome and necessary step toward returning to the regulatory framework embraced by Democratic and Republican FCC’s for the past two decades. This framework allowed and will continue to allow the open internet to flourish, yet will also spur investment in and the deployment of the next generation of broadband.”
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson: “AT&T continues to support the fundamental tenets of net neutrality. And we remain committed to open internet protections that are fair and equal for everyone. The bipartisan, light-touch regulatory approach that Congress established at the internet's inception brought American consumers unparalleled investment in broadband infrastructure, created jobs and fueled economic growth. It was illogical for the FCC in 2015 to abandon that light-touch approach and instead regulate the Internet under an 80-year-old law designed to set rates for the rotary-dial-telephone era. We applaud FCC Chairman Pai’s initiative to remove this stifling regulatory cloud over the internet. Businesses large and small will have a clearer path to invest more in our nation's broadband infrastructure under Chairman Pai's leadership. And we are hopeful that bipartisan agreement can be reached on principles that protect internet openness, consumer choice and vibrant competition."
Verizon senior VP and deputy general counsel Kathy Grillo: “Verizon supports net neutrality policies that protect an open internet without discouraging competition and slowing job-generating investments," "We continue to believe that the right answer is for Congress to move forward on legislation that once and for all adopts clear, enforceable, and strong net neutrality protections. We stand ready to work with the FCC, Congress and the industry on an approach that provides strong consumer protections while also allowing companies the flexibility and certainty to innovate, increase investment and compete aggressively. We also support Chairman Pai’s proposal to roll back Title II utility regulation on broadband. Title II (or public utility regulation) is the wrong way to ensure net neutrality; it undermines investment, reduces jobs and stifles innovative new services. And by locking in current practices and players, it actually discourages the increased competition consumers are demanding."
Comcast CEO Brian Roberts:"We fully support reversal of Title II classification, a 1930s statute that is outdated and harms consumers by creating a cloud over broadband investment decisions and innovation. Chairman Pai's proposed reversal of Title II does not mean there will be no open Internet protections, but rather creates an environment where we can have a fresh constructive dialogue. To be clear, we continue to strongly support a free and open Internet and the preservation of modern, strong, and legally enforceable net neutrality protections. We don’t block, throttle, or discriminate against lawful content delivered over the Internet, and we are committed to continuing to manage our business and network with the goal of providing the best possible consumer experience.”
American Cable Association President Matt Polka: "For smaller ISPs, most of whom operate in more rural areas, the costs of these rules are real and substantial," said "Their customers also are being harmed as smaller ISPs have put off network investments and are deferring, and even halting, the development of new features and services. The 2015 rules have turned out to be all pain and no gain. And so, Chairman Pai is more than justified in re-evaluating these misguided rules to better ensure an open Internet. ACA and its members will again participate in the proceeding and will again produce evidence that utility-style regulation is not warranted and not needed for the FCC to ensure that customers of smaller ISPs have continued access to an Open Internet."
Free State Foundation President Randolph May: "I applaud Chairman Pai's initiation of a proceeding to reverse the most problematic aspects of the Internet regulations adopted by the Obama Administration's FCC. The most important proposal is the elimination of the Title II common carrier classification for Internet providers because this designation subjected them to public utility-like regulation. Public utility regulation is inappropriate for a digital broadband marketplace that is competitive and dynamic. If left in place, I have no doubt that it will stifle innovation and investment."

Shirley May Clouter moved into a long-term care facility in Guelph, Ont., on Dec. 10, 2021, and one month later, the 95-year-old died after contracting COVID-19.
Her granddaughter, Vanessa Lodge, said family members stood outside a glass enclosure just steps away, but still apart, from Clouter in her final moments at Guelph General Hospital on Jan. 9.
"This, honestly, was our biggest fear … my mom, my sisters and I, it was grandma going into the home and dying from COVID. And she did," Lodge said.
Now, along with the grief, the close-knit family has many questions about what happened.
Lodge said her grandmother didn't have her third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine when she moved into LaPointe Fisher Nursing Home, but the family was told by staff that it was OK, and they'd get her the booster shot.
But that never happened.
When Clouter started to feel unwell on Jan. 4, she was given a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) COVID-19 test. The results came back Jan. 8 and confirmed she had COVID-19, Lodge said. That same day, Clouter was taken to Guelph General Hospital, where she died a day later.
Lodge questions why no one at the home told them they were having trouble securing a third dose for her grandmother.
"My mom worked in the health-care system for almost her whole career. She would have just called up her doctor and gotten her one," Lodge said.
WATCH | Vanessa Lodge recalls fond memories of her grandmother:
Homes have policies for vaccination
The outbreak at the 92-bed facility where Clouter lived was declared on Jan. 3. As of Wednesday, there were 20 cases in people who lived at the home, 30 cases in staff members and two deaths linked to the outbreak.
In an emailed statement to CBC Kitchener-Waterloo, Shane Outridge, director of quality improvement at LaPoint Fisher, said the facility works closely with public health to "ensure initial doses and booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are administered as soon as possible to our staff and residents after becoming eligible."
Outridge said 100 per cent of staff at the facility have had two doses of the vaccine, while a majority have received a third dose.
"Among residents, we are happy to report the majority have now received their fourth dose," Outridge wrote.
Dr. Nicola Mercer, medical officer of health and CEO of Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health, said families who move loved ones into long-term care or retirement facilities during the pandemic should talk to the administration at the facility about vaccination.
"In most cases, individuals can get vaccinated quickly through a public health clinic, their primary care provider or a participating pharmacy. When vaccination in the community isn't an option for those entering a facility, each one has policies and procedures in place to vaccinate residents," Mercer said in an emailed statement.
"Public health supports facilities with vaccine supply, training and — in some circumstances — on-site vaccinations. Public health has focused aggressively on providing vaccine and vaccination clinics and support to homes in the region throughout the pandemic."
'We had a treatment'
Lodge called into the CBC Radio program Ontario Today to share her story.
Dr. Samir Sinha, director of geriatrics at the University Health Network and Sinai Health System in Toronto, was the guest that day, and in response to Lodge's story, said that when someone reaches an age like 95, "every day's a gift, but this is not the way that her life needed to end."
"We had a treatment, we had a booster shot that this person wanted, that her family wanted," Sinha said.
He said the family was "doing all the right things they were supposed to do. Yet this is where our system failed."
Sinha says he raised concerns in October about third doses in long-term care homes in Toronto and the need for all residents to access them.
"I remember asking it at a meeting, 'Where we at with boosters?' and people didn't have the data. And I thought, have we been paying attention to, how do we get these doses in as soon as possible?" he said.
Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health has started reporting on the percentage of people who have received a third dose (booster) on its vaccination dashboard. On Wednesday, it reported 84 per cent of people 75 and older have a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Public health told CBC K-W that as of Wednesday, 96 per cent of residents in long-term care and retirement homes in Guelph, Wellington County and Dufferin County had a third dose, as did 77 per cent of staff in those facilities.
Homes expected to get residents vaccine
Mark Nesbitt, a spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of Long-Term Care, said they could not comment on the specific situation involving Clouter, but "we expect long-term care homes to accommodate residents' requests to be vaccinated."
"We will continue to work with the Ministry of Health to prioritize long-term care residents, staff, and caregivers for timely access to boosters," Nesbitt said.
He noted local public health units are responsible for managing outbreak response in long-term care homes, "and we continue to encourage homes to support appropriate social opportunities for residents, even when in outbreak."
The ministry is in "regular contact with the homes to provide support when needed, and works with Ontario Health, local public health, hospitals, and community agencies to address immediate needs," said Nesbitt.
Need to advocate for seniors
Lodge puts part of the blame on the nursing home for not communicating with the family when they couldn't get Clouter a third dose.
But she also blames the long-term care system, and said she feels there was little oversight from public health or the province to ensure all homes follow the same guidelines. She wants to see change to protect residents of the facilities.
"It's frustrating that … there were limited things done between the beginning of the pandemic to now," she said, noting there have been many stories about long-term care homes being understaffed and the workers being underpaid.
"But I think we really need to learn as we move forward to make these changes and advocate for seniors and those in long-term care centres and make sure the changes do actually happen this time."
Her message to the politicians making decisions about long-term care homes is: "What if this was your mom or your grandmother?
"We need to be thinking of everybody like how we would treat our own," she said.
"My grandma was a big believer in helping those around her and it's difficult to see someone pass in this way, and we need to really overhaul these centres as well as our health-care system."

I´m pretty new to this game, and I have just earned enough Turbine Points to buy a Riding Skill from the cash shop store. So I bought one Riding Skill and I have absolutely no idea how to equip it. The descriptions in the Store says that it should automatically be equipped, but after waiting forever and re logging it just don´t let me use the horse I got from the Treasure Hunter event recently. I have no riding traits available at the Bard´s, and no Riding Skill icon showing up in the passive or mount skill window.
Neither did I find any threads or informations in the wikis or whatever place they might be and other people in the forums just said: "buy the trait at the store" (which I already did), so can some of you tell me how to use and equip the Riding skill?
Thanks a lot in advance.

My “Death Squad” paint designs have been selling as well as my stickers of the logo in different color options. Tonight for some reason one of my stickers in my own inventory has been locked to where I can’t load any paint jobs onto the market with the color design.
Why would it get locked all of a sudden & how do I get it unlocked?
Also for the mods: my account was put on “Mod Approval” over a year ago. When can I get that lifted? It’s been long enough I feel.

Our certified respiratory
educators are ready to take your questions
Pets shed dander (skin flakes) regularly. Their dander, saliva, and urine can all cause allergies and asthma symptoms. Bird allergens include dander, feathers and feather dust. There are no non-allergenic furry or feathered pets—they can all cause allergies.
If you have a pet that you are allergic to, the best thing to do is to find it a new home. If this is not possible, the following actions may help but are not as effective as finding your pet a new home.
If you plan to visit someone who has a pet that you are allergic to, you can take medications before you go that may prevent or reduce your symptoms. A better plan is to meet somewhere where there are no pets.
If you have a pet but are not sure if it affects your asthma, ask yourself this: when you leave home on a holiday without the pet, does your asthma improve?

A 10 Minute Deeelicious Skinny Chocolate PB Smoothie Recipe
How many of us crave cold, quenching drinks when the sun is out? How many of us turn to frappuccino’s, iced drinks, packaged fruit juices, sodas and beverages from Starbucks, Costa, Caribou, Dunkin’ Donuts, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Capri Sun and the like? Do we really know how much sugar we are consuming? Or do we just focus on the calorific content and think I will just cut down on what I eat today?
Added Sugars, not fat, is one of the biggest culprit and single worst ingredient behind the obesity epidemic and various diseases, such as, obesity, type II diabetes and heart disease! It provides calories with no added nutrients and can damage your metabolism in the long run. It is an addictive drug, similar to cocaine and alcohol. However, the difference is that we don’t sell alcohol to anyone under the age of 18, but you can buy high-sugar content foods at any age.
It is very important to make the distinction between added sugars and sugars that occur naturally in foods like fruits and vegetables. The latter comprise of water, fiber and various micronutrients. Whilst, added sugars are those that are added to processed foods, such as, sucrose (regular table sugar) or high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). So how much is too much?
Did you know that the maximum amount of added sugars we should consume daily is:
- Men: 9 teaspoons or 37.5 grams per day
- Women: 6 teaspoons or 25 grams or per day
YET, 1 can (355 ml) of Coca Cola contains 9 teaspoons of sugar which is equivalent to 37.5 grams of sugar! Imagine having two a day? A few more examples for you would be:
- Red Bull (250 ml): 7 teaspoons or 29.2 grams of sugar
- Galaxy Smooth Milkshake (376 ml): 11 teaspoons or 45.8 grams of sugar
- Mountain Dew Citrus (500 ml): 16.5 teaspoons or 68.7 grams of sugar
- Lucozade Energy Pink (500ml): 17 teaspoons or 70.8 grams of sugar
If you want to lose weight and optimize your health, then you should do your best to avoid foods that contain added sugars, read nutrition labels on packaged foods, and try to cook food from scratch so you know exactly what is going into it.
Today, I will share with you a yummy, 5 ingredient (unless you want to include the ice then its 6) Chocolate PB Smoothie that is homemade, natural and whole.
- 10 minutes & serves 2
- 1 cup of Rice Milk
- 2 tablespoons of natural, homemade Peanut Butter
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 whole ripe Banana
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 4-5 cubes of ice (adjust ice to your desired thickness, add more for a thicker smoothie)
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon of Coconut
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth or you hit the consistency you like.
- I like to garnish mine with sliced bananas, peanut butter or coconut.

This is the usual question that comes up every year at the same time: where to go for your summer vacation if you plan to go abroad? A brief overview of desires and possibilities…
Where to go in Europe this summer?
In Europe, it is the holiday period for many countries. This of course corresponds to the best climatic conditions for this part of the world, but also to a significant rise in prices combined this year with high inflation in many places and the general increase in energy and fuel prices.
For those who are fond of heat, the South (Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Croatia…) and its beaches will meet their expectations. Everywhere else the sunshine will make your visits pleasant, even for the northern regions (Ireland, England, Scotland, Denmark, etc.). It’s also a good time to go to Iceland where the temperatures then vary between 8°C at night and 15°C during the day… which goes on for twenty hours in a row!
Lovers of swimming and sun can also explore Albania, Bulgaria, the Canary Islands or Montenegro.
Where to go in July?
In Asia, Indonesia remains the flagship destination for this period with its equatorial climate tempered by maritime winds. The sunshine is very good there despite the intermittent rains in the evening or at night. The temperatures are almost ideal, between 25 and 30°C. Java in particular is very pleasant, and always Bali with its micro-climate. On the other hand, it is the time when the tourist season is in full swing and you will therefore not be alone!
In Africa, Mauritius can be a good choice since the temperatures there are still mild, and even cool at night, and the sky is very clear despite scattered showers and a fresh wind that is often welcome. Same thing for Madagascar which also lives its dry season with 28°C on average during the day and chilly but restful nights at 15°C.
As for North Africa, the Atlantic coast of Morocco will be very bearable at this time with a refreshing wind, like Agadir, despite the frequent presence of fog.
In America, Peru and Bolivia are to be preferred during this period when the rains have stopped to give way to beautiful sunny days, although rather cold at altitude, but dry and bright.
It is also the good time for the national parks of the USA where you can climb in altitude without fearing too cold temperatures.
In Oceania, visit northern Australia but also Polynesia, such as Tahiti or the Windward Islands, where the rains become rare and the sunshine very high with average temperatures around 27°C. The Marquesas archipelago experiences the same type of climate with slightly higher temperatures.
Where to go in August?
In Europe, August is the big boom! Millions of holidaymakers invade the beaches and hinterland of southern Europe. The climate is conducive to travel in almost the entire continent with however some areas strongly affected by the heat wave (Andalusia, southern Italy, Greece, etc.) which will only be suitable for fans of heat at all costs.
Northern Europe is very pleasant and summer is the ideal time to visit countries that are usually colder and wetter such as Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands or Iceland.
In Asia, it is undoubtedly the least favorable season. The monsoon is indeed at its peak over the entire region, sparing only a few rare areas (Kerala or Tamil Nadu in India, Bali and the islands of southern Indonesia, northern Australia, etc.) . Elsewhere a hot, moist and humid climate prevails.
In Africa, the Maghreb countries are invaded by tourists, the climate is hot (sometimes very hot at the gates of the desert) and dry, the Atlantic coast of Morocco remains pleasant thanks to the influence of the ocean.
Further south we find the rainy season and it is only at the latitudes of Tanzania that we will benefit from a favorable climate for the visit.
In America, the north is generally hot and dry (sometimes scorching in the deserts of the western USA). Central America is experiencing a short rainy season but further south the conditions are becoming favorable again. It’s hurricane season in the West Indies, the Caribbean and Mexico.
These destinations that are popular with the French
It’s a bit like the weather to come for the destinations sought by the French for their summer holidays. Based on feedback from travel agencies and other tourism professionals in recent weeks, it turns out that the years follow one another and are almost alike.
Like every year, the French want to go to France first. France is ahead of Spain in this ranking, which should increase its attendance, Italy, Morocco and Portugal in terms of the Top5. Then come the USA, Great Britain, Algeria with above all an affinity tourism, Greece and finally Tunisia. In short, not really a revolution in habits…

At Tesla's AI Day event, Elon Musk unveiled the Tesla Bot - a humanoid robot that uses much of the tech found in Tesla's car to perform such tasks as getting groceries or attaching a bolt to a car with a wrench. Oh, and a prototype is set to be ready next year.
The Tesla Bot will stand at 5'8" and will weigh approximately 125 pounds. Fortunately, for those who fear a possible robot uprising, the team at Tesla is building the Tesla Bot in a way that "you can run away from it... and most likely overpower it."
This goal is seen in some of the Tesla Bot's specs, which give it a top speed of 5 MPH, a Carry Capacity of 45 pounds, a Deadlift of 150, and an Arm Extend Lift of 10 pounds.
The Tesla bot will use much of the same tech that is found in its cars, including the Full Self Driving hardware, and it will come equipped with eight cameras and a high-tech screen in its head.
Musk and Tesla want this new Tesla Bot to perform "dangerous, repetitive, and boring tasks" like picking up groceries or fixing a car. These bots would ideally be added to our workforce, and Musk posits the question as to what economy actually is to explain his thoughts.
"What is economy? It is, at the foundation, it is labor," Musk said. "What happens when there is no shortage of labor?" If all goes well in Musk and Tesla's plans, these Tesla Bots will fill those gaps and ensure there are enough workers to go around, even if they aren't living and breathing people.
Tesla is fully in on working on the Tesla Bot - which has a code name of Optimus Prime - and it has encouraged those who want to be part of the future of AI and this Tesla Bot's development to join their team.
The Tesla Bot is only one of the many projects in the works at Tesla, including the Blade Runner-inspired Cybertruck. This news also comes alongside a US investigation into Tesla's autopilot after a number of its vehicles have collided with parked emergency vehicles.

The pattern calls for some simple blocks for the back. I have to admit, the friendship star is one of my favorite blocks. It is also one of my least favorite blocks when it comes to sewing. Yes, I can sew a HST, I just don't like the squaring up. Just seems so darn fussy to me.
Anyway... I put together some of the blocks from the pattern using some more batik scraps. I don't know that the backs will always match the fronts, but what is the point of scrappy if I can't mix and match?
I also sewed up som of my scraps into these wonky, log cabin blocks. Love making these. The small 5" x 5" size makes them super quick and fun. I wish I'd take more pictures of these, but you'll just have to pick them out of the stack. (Yes, there are way more than I need to back four coasters, don't judge.)

33 episodes are left behind in the Kingfisher series, and it is progressing step by step towards the end of a season. Let us remind you that the rating performance of the series, which started to be broadcast in September, has been excellent, has won the love of millions, has been sold to many countries abroad, and is among the most successful Turkish series of the last period.
Of course, with their amazing acting performances, Çetin Tekindor and Şerif Sezer drew the image of an idol for their young colleagues. Mert Ramazan Demir and Afra Saraçoğlu also revealed their youthful energies, and their strong harmony captured the hearts of the audience.
Names such as Gülçin Santırcıoğlu, Emre Altuğ, Doğukan Polat, Diren Polatoğulları, Beril Pozam, Ersin Arıcı, Öznur Serçeler also revealed their experiences and the admiration of the masses for the series emerged with the superior effort of this staff.
Millions of viewers are eagerly awaiting what will happen next in the script of the series, which is on its way to completing its first season. With the death of the character of Fuat Korhan, played by Doğukan Polat, in the 32nd episode, the screenwriter put forward a very emotional process, and this process brought Seyran and Ferit, who were tossed in the story, together at the same point again.
For the fans of the series, Fuat’s death was untimely and angry. Because many viewers were saddened by Fuat’s departure without being able to fully watch his story. Although the screenwriter took such a risk, he had the opportunity to reshape many of the characters in the story through this death.
Pelin seems to be getting more aggressive now that Seyran unconditionally returns to Ferit and says she will never leave him.
Ferit, on the other hand, takes refuge in Seyran with this sentimentality, while the screenwriter can now transform this character as he wishes. The balances in the Korhan family will change a lot after Fuat’s death, and these changing balances seem to leave their mark on the second season.
Although the viewers were disturbed by Fuat’s death, it became more possible for the screenwriter to collect the story that was blown in the environment created by this situation.
Important events are expected to occur in the 33rd new episode of the Kingfisher series, which will be broadcast on Friday evening.

Break Your Cycle To Be Better: Based On A True Story
A family is the single most important influence in a child’s life. It provides security, identity, and values to its members, regardless of their age. An individual learns about his sense of self and gains a foundation for the rest of his life. This foundation includes the family’s values which provide the basis for his own moral code. Therefore, the parenting style that parents adopt while raising children can have a huge impact on their development and growth.
Now, imagine the mental condition of a child, especially a toddler, brought up in an environment where problems such as parental negligence, rigidity, alcoholism or abuse exist in the family, disturbing its smooth functioning, leading to constant conflicts, fights, arguments, and tension.
A novel that goes through highlighted events from childhood and up to the author leaving the military, and what has shaped the way he has become now.
This is a highly inspirational novel, one could relate to many aspects of a dysfunctional family that was described in the novel, as well as personal flaws that he (or anyone) genetically and/or socially inherits through family members and other surroundings. Among other ways to lessen and treat the post-effects of traumas, most of the novel is written in a stream-of-consciousness style of writing which allows to read and face inner thoughts as they are, without editing or moderation.
Based on a true story, by reading about how Mike faces his past in Fighting For Redemption, you may learn something about facing your own.

George Strait is a living legend. One of the most prolific country artists in the history of the genre, he has sold over 65.5 million albums, just barely trailing The Rolling Stones and Elton John in record sales. In addition to the 38 albums he has released since 1981, Strait has released over 70 hit singles (55 of which have climbed to the #1 spot of the Billboard Hot Country Songs index) and starred in 4 movies. To call George Strait anything less than the "King of Country" is a profound understatement.Strait was born in the small town of Poteet, Texas in 1952. When not working on his father's cattle ranch, Strait began playing country music, influenced by the likes of George Jones and Hank Williams. After graduating from high school only to leave college soon after entering in early 1971, Strait joined the army and was stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii. While in the army, Strait honed his skills while playing with Rambling Country, an army-sponsored country band. After leaving the Army in 1975, he returned to Southwest Texas State University to finish up his degree in agriculture. While at Southwest Texas State University, Strait joined the Ace In the Hole Band, a country music band that needed a singer. The band toured extensively and became regionally famous during the 1970's, playing in bars and honkey-tonks by night while George managed a cattle ranch by day. In 1980, he managed to land a recording contract with MCA Records. With the rest of the Ace In the Hole band remaining as his backing band, George Strait released his first album Strait Country in 1981, which went on to sell over a million copies - his first of 34 albums to be certified platinum by the RIAA. His next album, 1982's Strait From The Heart, was just as successful, also selling over 1,000,000 units based on the momentum generated by hit singles "Amarillo by Morning" and "Fool Hearted Memory". Strait continued to dominate the country music world throughout the 1980's, winning the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year award twice, and penning hit singles "The Chair", "Ace In The Hole", and "Right or Wrong". He has continued to produce incredibly popular country albums throughout the 1990's and well into the 21st century. His most successful album to date, 1996's Pure Country - declared platinum six times over by the RIAA - spawned the hit single "Heartland", which remained on the Hot Country Songs chart for an incredible twenty weeks. George Strait released his most recent album, Troubadour, in April 2008. The album sold a chart-topping 166,000 copies in only its first week, and is well on its way to becoming just as much of a classic as the rest of his work.

LA TRINIDAD, Benguet -- Vice Governor Crescensio Pacalso is awaiting the appearance of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP).
Pacalso said the NCIP has yet to answer the resolution of the Provincial Board on its position to halt all talks for a geothermal project in Bokod town.
He said the board is most likely to send another invitation to the NCIP but will request the presence of NCIP-Cordillera Director Amador Batay-an.
The board's decision was backed by Governor Nestor Fongwan, who does not only want to stop all talks between Clean Rock Renewable Energy and indigenous people's leaders for the firm's free and prior informed consent but is also calling for an end of the project all together.
Pacalso said there was no reaction from the NCIP on the provincial board's decision. "They have to submit their formal reply."
Groups doubt the validity of a second round of voting administered by the NCIP in August for the FPIC.
Last year, the Provincial Board here decided to suspend negotiations between the company and Bokod folk until these doubts are cleared.
Pacalso said the invitation will be given by the end of the month so the NCIP can appear by February to answer all questions about the project. (Maria Elena Catajan)

Two volcanoes erupted last spring was it,Raikoke in the Kuril Islands(Russia) andUlawun in New Guinea . They pushed tons of tons of ash into the atmosphere which has now spread around the world turning our sunsets the color purple.
I live in Phoenix Arizona USA around 33 degrees north latitude and I have been seeing some really purple sunsets. So today , even with little cloud cover at sunset, I took some pics of the sky after the sun was below the horizon. It was purple. Below is a shot taken from backyard.
Is it possible to get pictures of purple sunsets from all over the world? If you have a smart phone camera, a pocket camera, or a sophisticated camera grab a photo of the sky between the sun going below the horizon and final darkness and post the photo here with location. It might be interesting to see similarities as well as variations. Its true all cameras will not record the same . Yet I think purple is purple and the sky will show purple if its there. It might be interesting to see changes in intensity with latitude. Maybe CAS can contribute to a scientific record…or not. Anyway it could be fun as well as interesting to see what purple sky looks like all around the world..Let me start with this shot..The only processing I did to this photo was cropping a bit of the excess black off the bottom. Lets see Your Shot!
Very interesting, Michael! I’ll keep my eyes on the skies and see if I spot any purple sunsets. And now I wonder, do you think there might also be a color difference in sunrises as well?
I checked my Hampshire UK sky at twilight tonight in vain, Michael – clear with a pleasant pinkish horizon. I have not heard about this and I missed Paul Simons’ column:
Wrt Keelin’s question a Google search for ‘UK purple sky’ produced:
N.B. Michael’s purple is unquestionable, but some other pictures may not be
P.S. (I had to click Windows F5 to get this Edit function). Searching the ICA in the first permanent thread above for ‘purple’ gave:
Keelin..Yes, according to what I’ve read and what hygge linked to ,sunrises should also be affected. Im use to the yellow ro orange to red slide in to dark against a ever darkening blue. So just a quick look during late sundown provides a startling change,purple! Not every dusk is the same intensity. I can’t speak for sunrises since I have been forcing myself to sleep in . I may have to give it a look at least once tho.
That photo I posted is very close to what my memory says I saw. As the one link hygge provided, there is a yellow that is slitely dulled or darkened by the purple from the horizon then the purple. I suspect if people had a clear ” before” picture of a sunset sky and took one today they would see a difference even if they didn’t ” see” any purple.

* Goaltending is the least of the Flyers problems, vis-a-vis, the Rangers. No matter how you shake it, the Blueshirts are better at every segment; defense, offense; special teams, coach.
* Now Philly has reverted to the Broad Street Bully image. Cheap shots galore were brushed off by the Rangers like mosquitoes at a picnic.
* The Alex Steen trade from Toronto to St. Louis ranks among the all-time dumb Toronto deals.
* I’m told that George McPhee will be sought by either Vancouver and/or Calgary if Ted Leonsis decides to drop his g.m. in D.C.
* Ken Hitchcock’s turnabout of his slumping Blues merely proves what we already know; that the playoffs are an entirely new season.
* Anyone who says that Ben Bishop’s appearance will make the Lightning a winner is 100 per cent right. Question surrounds BB’s ability to return in mint condition.
* If I’ve learned anything after watching a half-century of playoffs it is that results of the first game have less impact on the remainder of the playoffs than people realize. Except in the case of Rangers over Philly.
* Mark Streit as well as Andrew MacDonald are meaningful assets to the Flyers.
* Trouble is their accent on offense. Defensively each is suspect to the point of difference-making.
* When you talk about whether the Canucks will retain their coach you have to ask yourself, can Vancouver afford to drop John Tortorella who still has four years left on his contract?
* It’s true that goaltenders do win playoff series. And Ryan Miller is the reason why the Blackhawks should start worrying about a first-round ouster, if they haven’t already.
* Just in case anyone is interested in stats nonsense, the so-called Hockey News “insiders,” Kevin Weekes and Jeff O’Neill, have the odds against Dallas winning the Cup at 75-1.
* If I’m Lindy Ruff, I’d post that on the bulletin board, presto, pronto.

Biodegradation of glyphosate in sod-podzol soil by both the indigenous micro flora and the introduced strain Ochrobactrum anthropi GPK 3 was studied with respect to its sorption and mobility. The experiments were carried out in columns simulating the vertical soil profile. Soil samples studied were taken from soil horizons 0–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm deep. It was found out that the most of the herbicide (up to 84%) was adsorbed by soil during the first 24 h; the rest (16%) remained in the soluble fraction. The adsorbed glyphosate was completely extractable by alkali. No irreversible binding of glyphosate was observed. By the end of the experiment (21st day), glyphosate was only found in extractable fractions. The comparison of the effect of the introduced O. anthropi GPK 3 and indigenous microbial community on the total toxicant content (both soluble and absorbed) in the upper 10 cm soil layer showed its reduction by 42% (21 mg/kg soil) and 10–12% (5 mg/kg soil), respectively. Simultaneously, 14–18% glyphosate moved to a lower 10–20 cm layer. Watering (that simulated rainfall) resulted in a 20% increase of its content at this depth; 6–8% of herbicide was further washed down to the 20–30 cm layer. The glyphosate mobility down the soil profile reduced its density in the upper layer, where it was available for biodegradation, and resulted in its concentration in lower horizons characterized by the absence (or low level) of biodegradative processes. It was shown for the first time how the herbicide biodegradation in soil can be increased manifold by introduction of the selected strain O. anthropi GPK 3.

Outwardly, reality star Peggy Tanous seems to have it all, but the truth is she’s already following in the footsteps of other Real Housewives in facing foreclosure, and is currently in dispute with three banks in an effort to try and keep her home in Irvine, California. PNC Mortgage, US Bank National and the BAC Home Loans Servicing are trying to get a foreclosure, but Tanous is fighting back with her own lawsuit as she believes the banks haven't honored a loan modification agreement.
She claims that an agreement was in place with the banks to pay interest only for 10 years. Unfortunately the banks don't seem to have recognized this as they issued a foreclosure notice in November 2010. Tanous and her Internet entrepreneur husband, Micah have also fallen behind with their property taxes but say an agreement had already been worked out to pay back the money owed.
The couple bought their home in 2006 for $1,379,000, and made payments for two years before experiencing financial trouble. Court records show they have two mortgages, one for $312,540 and one for $1 million, and that the total amount owed is $1,318,253. Unfortunately the property was assessed at just $875,000 in 2009, and median home values in Irvine are currently $517,000 having fallen by 17% year-on-year. Their court case is part of a new foreclosure relief settlement program unique to California and designed to try and stem the flood of foreclosures.
Viewers will be relieved to know the court case hasn’t dampened Tanous’ enthusiasm for the luxury lifestyle, and a recent video tour of her home on OC Register showed how she escapes reality in her very own home movie theater, complete with “butt shakers.” You can check out some of Peggy's "online real estate" via this link to her Facebook pages, and her Twitter profile here.

About Shirley Temple
Shirley Temple was a child star, having received a Juvenile Academy Award in 1935. She’s best known for films like Glad Rags to Riches, Bright Eyes, Fort Apache and A Little Princess. Her acting career began when she was just four years old in a series of one-reelers called Baby Burlesks. In 1974 she became a U.S. Ambassador after retiring from the business at age 22. Unfortunately some of her childhood performances have since been seen as inappropriate – something mentioned in her book Child Star. In 1945 she married John Agar and they were divorced five years later; she then married Charles Alden Black and had two children with him (Charles Jr & Lori). Jane Darwell also starred alongside Shirley Temple in Curly Top!
