Amherst County wildfire grows to 4,800 acres, national teams brought in to help
UPDATE: Nov. 22 | 7:30 p.m.
The Virginia Department of Forestry says the wildfire in Amherst County has grown to 4,800 acres. At this time, there are no mandatory evacuation orders.
They say if you need to be evacuated from the fire, they will come to your house to let you know and have an evacuation site ready.
For now, fire officials ask local residents to clear fire hazard materials away from their homes including wood piles, leaves and brush.
Fire officials say strong winds and low humidity contributed to the rapid spread of the fire on Sunday. They say the South and East side of the fire is their main focus as they are working to bulldoze a fire line to keep the neighboring homes protected.
They say their priority is protecting people and personal property.
If you'd like to help, Central Baptist Church in Lowesville is accepting food and water on Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The fire is estimated to have grown to 2,700 acres in size from Monday.

New Delhi [India], May 25 (ANI): The global shortage of sugar has triggered the demand, hence Indian government has taken a precautionary step by putting a cap on the export of sugar to 100 lakh metric tonnes (LMT), the idea behind the sugar export restriction is to make prices of sugar stable, said Sudhanshu Pandey, Secretary, Department of Food and Public Distribution.
Pandey, while addressing a press conference here, said, “The government wants to ensure enough sugar stock availability in India, especially during sugar lean season of October and November which is the festival season in India. The global situation reflects a shortage of sugar, this may trigger the demand globally and so as to safeguard domestic availability and interests the step has been taken by the government.”
The government of India on late Tuesday issued an order to maintain domestic availability and price stability of sugar in the country during sugar season 2021-22 (October-September). Central government to regulate sugar exports w.e.f June 1, 2022, till further orders. the government will allow sugar exports up to 100 LMT.
“Our first priority is to ensure sufficient availability of sugar for consumption at a reasonable rate, thereafter maximum sugar to be diverted to ethanol. Closing stocks should be approximately 60 LMT if any are to be exported. This Year India has produced 355 LMT of sugar, the highest in the world. India is the second-largest exporter of sugar. Total export should be about 100 LMT in the current sugar season 2021-22,” he said.
“Current exports of 90 LMT have been contracted of which 82 have already been lifted, remaining 10 LMT can be exported. Average monthly consumption in India is around 23 LMT, and sufficient domestic stock available is around 62 LMT. The average retail price of sugar in India is around Rs 37-44/kg. Sugar exports are to be at an all-time high, despite a cap on exports. Export has gone from 0.47 LMT to 100 LMT in the last five years which is more than 200 times,” Pandey added.
Secretary said that the Industry indicates that sugar exports would hardly reach a 100 LMT figure, but still the government imposed a cap on exports as a Precautionary measure.
“From June 1, all mills will apply to DoFPD for exports. For monitoring of exports, sugar mills will submit online information about dispatches for export. The data will provide the basis for determining the quantity for issuance of Export Release Orders. No approvals required for exports upto 31 May 2022,” he said.
“DoFPD will release Export Release Orders (EROs) on receiving applications from sugar mills and exporters. Procedure for application of ERO by Sugar Mills and Exporters have been issued on 24.05.2022 by the Directorate of Sugar, DoFPD. Sugar mills will apply for ERO for dispatch of sugar from mills for export. Exporters will apply for the export of sugar out of the country. Both need to apply online through National Single Window System (NSWS),” Pandey added. (ANI)

THE Greens have announced disability advocate and support worker Anthony Pyle as their candidate for the June 23 Darling Range by-election.
Mr Pyle contested the seat of Armadale at last year’s State Election, but ultimately lost to Labor MLA Tony Buti.
He said he was thrilled to have been preselected and promised he would fight for those who needed help.
“I grew up in social housing, relying on the social safety net to keep me and my family safe and secure, so I know what it’s like to go without,” he said.
“The growing casualisation of the workforce has left people with little or no job security, often living paycheque to paycheque wondering if they will be able to put food on the table for their kids.
“As someone who has actually lived on a low income and understands the pressures of declining job security, I hope to be a strong representative for working people in Darling Range”.
Mr Pyle said the people of Darling Range deserved better access to public transport, education and infrastructure.
“Getting from Byford to the city takes at least an hour and a half and that’s if you don’t miss the bus,” he said.
“This leaves many residents relying on cars to drive their kids to school, then to work and every aspect of their lives, there is no alternative.
“We need proper investment in infrastructure to create employment opportunities and service Darling Range better.”
The Greens announcement followed the nominations of Alyssa Hayden, Colleen Yates and Ron Caddies for The Liberals, Labor and One Nation respectively.
The by-election was sparked by the resignation of Barry Urban.

A bedroom with a problem floor. After the team ripped out 4 layers of old stinky flooring, Sergio coated the floor with Odoban, and washed it thoroughly. The following week, painted latex on the floor several times with primer, then orange, and pink to make sure the floor is sealed.
The walls painted with Behr pure white flat enamel.
Sergio installed new ceiling lamps, all new electric plugs, steel and glass curtain rods and hung pink gauzy drapes to filter natural light.

Based on the bullish momentum witnessed in the crypto market, XRP has found the right footing after breaching the psychological price of $0.55.
XRP was up by 16% in the past week to hit $0.55 at press time, according to CoinGecko.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, top analyst EGRAG pointed out that XRP was eyeing the creation of a mega ascending triangle that could see the fifth largest cryptocurrency surge to highs of $1.4.
The analyst highlighted that XRP had successfully formed a minimum ascending triangle in June, which triggered a perfect breakout to the $0.93 level in July.
Therefore, EGRAG believes XRP is in full gear to form the mega ascending triangle that could enable the cryptocurrency to scale between $1.3 and $1.5.
Nevertheless, XRP must first breach a significant resistance level between $0.75 and $0.87 because it’s a notable supply area.
XRP’s Odds are Bullish
After XRP was deemed not a security by a US court, the cryptocurrency has been making airwaves as its future looks bright.
Furthermore, Ripple, the company behind XRP, has been sealing strategic partnerships in the central bank digital currency (CBDC) and cross-border payment spaces.
For instance, Ripple recently joined hands with the digital asset…

Celeste Dupuy-Spencer moves between styles, gestures and a history of painting to interrogate the American experience as seen in her religious scenes, portraits and landscapes. Through seemingly fast brushwork and a montage of visual language, Celeste imbues each painting with a sense of existential grappling—figures and scenes are at once terror-filled yet full of tenderness. Community and more broadly, society, in all its contradictions, repression, but also hope and love, often plays a central role in Celeste’s paintings—figures coalesce in domestic spaces, churches and on neighborhood streets. In an almost therapeutic way, Celeste captures these deeply layered, microcosmic narratives that speak to the ever-evolving nature of America.
Celeste grew up in rural upstate New York and briefly relocated to New Orleans before settling in Los Angeles. These geographic spaces and distances become tantamount to her depiction of friends, family, lovers and colleagues. In the personalized vision of Celeste’s paintings, each character is teeming with specificity in personality and so many endearing qualities. While often using photographs as a starting point, her paintings are many times tainted and informed by the fallibility of memory and underlying emotions. Celeste’s epic paintings contain enormous depth and life where subtle moments are transformed into compelling statements on race, religion and privilege.
Celeste Dupuy-Spencer (b. 1979 New York, NY) received a BFA from Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York in 2007. Recent solo exhibitions include But the Clouds Never Hung So Low, Max Hetzler Gallery, Germany (2020), The Chiefest of Ten Thousand at Nino Mier Gallery, Los Angeles (2018); Wild and Blue at Marlborough Contemporary, New York (2017), and (mostly) works on paper at Artist Curated Projects, Los Angeles (2015). Group exhibitions include This is America, Kunstahal Kade, Amersfoort, (2020), All Them Witches at Deitch Projects, Los Angeles (2020); Made in L.A. at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2018); TEN at Artist Curated Projects, Los Angeles (2018); The Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum, New York (2017) and Tomorrow Never Happens, The Samek Art Museum at Bucknell University, PA (2016). Dupuy-Spencer lives and works in Los Angeles.

Starring: Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Bob Odenkirk
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Rated: PG 13
Running time: 1 hr 56 mins
20th Century Fox
They were called The Pentagon Papers, an analysis of the almost 30-year history of the United States’ involvement in Vietnam which did not paint a rosy picture for a war that would eventually take the lives of nearly 60,000 Americans. Their impact, not only on how the war was perceived but in how the press was regarded, is the story of Steven Spielberg’s latest film, “The Post.”
Passengers on a government jet observe a young man chatting with current Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (Bruce Greenwood). “Who’s that,” someone asks, unaware that the subject of his question will one day set in motion a series of events that, in today’s cycle of “fake news,” will open eyes to the power of the press. The young man in question is Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys). Unhappy with what he has observed and been told, the military analyst leaks a series of reports commissioned by the Rand Corporation to the New York Times, which in 1971 begins to publish excerpts. Outraged by this, President Nixon orders government attorneys to file a suit forcing the paper to stop publishing the papers in the interest of national security.
In Washington D.C., Ben Bradlee (Hanks), editor of The Washington Post, is upset. Once again, the Times has scooped him. This is such a common occurrence that Bradlee brandishes a copy of the Times and asks his reporters “anyone else tired of reading the news?” The Post is owned by Katherine Graham (Streep), a D.C. socialite whose grandfather had owned the Post and who inherited the publisher’s mantle when her husband, Phillip, committed suicide. She is wary of Bradlee’s plans. Not only is there a chance that publishing the information will put her in jail – “Wouldn’t you go to prison to stop this war,” Bradlee asks – but she also risks alienating some of her closest friends, including Bob McNamara. Decisions, decisions.
A film that packs a powerful punch, “The Post” joins “All the President’s Men” and “Spotlight” as films that show the true power of the press in the face of adversity. Hanks has fun as the tough but compassionate Bradlee and Streep adds another outstanding performance to her already amazing resume’. The supporting cast is just as strong, with fine turns by Odenkirk, Carrie Coon, Sarah Paulson, Jesse Plemons and Tracy Letts. Even Richard Milhouse Nixon gets raves as the evil Wizard who thinks he can rule the Emerald City, and this country, anyway he deems fit. Rather than employ an actor to portray our 37th President, Spielberg uses Nixon’s actual words and voice, through taped telephone conversations, to show what a devious and paranoid man the President was.
Spielberg keeps the story moving and, as with all of his films, the technical aspects are first rate. And add another magnificent John Williams score to perfectly accompany the story.

“The ancient masters were profound and subtle. Their wisdom was unfathomable.”
(From A New Way of Thinking, A New Way of Being Experiencing the Tao Te Ching)
There’s another un-word. According to my faithful reader, Bob, this is one of those concepts that requires application of the f-word (faith).
Let’s see: according to TheBigView.com:
The Tao Te Ching was written in China roughly 2,500 years ago at about the same time when Buddha expounded the Dharma in India and Pythagoras taught in Greece. The Tao Te Ching is probably the most influential Chinese book of all times. Its 81 chapters have been translated into English more times than any other Chinese document.
The Tao Te Ching provides the basis for the philosophical school of Taoism, which is an important pillar of Chinese thought. Taoism teaches that there is one undivided truth at the root of all things. It literally means:
© 1995- 2011 by Thomas Knierim
So. If this was written 500 years before Christ, who were the ancient masters referred to here? Well, Moses is an ancient master of the Judeo-Christian world, and according to Answers.com , “Moses was born about 1527[B.C.] and was in Egypt till about 1487 B.C. He then lived in Midian until 1447 and then was in the wilderness until about 1407, where he died.”
According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Confucius, though his life is couched in legend and myth, was considered a contemporary of Lao Tzu – in fact it’s unclear which of the two coined the single step quote I used in yesterday’s entry.
So what am I getting at? If Lao Tzu considered the wisdom of the ancient masters to be unfathomable, I don’t know my a$$ from a hole in the ground. I’m fine with that. Just sayin.

A number of teenage mothers in the country have resorted to giving their children akpeteshie or valium to enable them have uninterrupted fun. The adolescent mothers believe bearing a child should not be a hindrance to having fun, put their children to sleep and leave to the pubs, discos and nightclubs.
Nana Oye Lithur, a Gender Advocate, who was a member of a team that counselled some of those guilty of these practice disclosed this in an interview with The Mirror.
According to her, two cases had been reported about an adolescent mother of three, who gives her children valium tablets at night to put them to sleep, so that she can go out to the disco and other nightclub.
Another case, Nana Oye mentioned was that of a mother of three, who regularly gives her son akpeteshie at night when her friends come to visit, so that the boy will get drunk and sleep. She said it is likely that the children would grow up to be addicted to the drugs administered to them during their youth. Nana Oye attributed this to the fact that more often that not, the fathers of these children are absentee fathers or adolescent themselves.
She, therefore, hopes that the Department of Social Welfare and some benevolent organisation would take up the challenge of focusing on the children of Ghana, to ensure that they live a healthy life and enjoy all the rights and privileges other children elsewhere enjoy.

I've been very busy lately with
editing my 2nd book of poems. However,
every now and then, I like to take some
time to do some kind of art. This I find is
very relaxing to me and it is always
great to be creatively inspired.
I've been practicing on my iPhone
with manyndifferent programs from
the app store. I really like this
particular app because you can choose
the colors, brush, and different
ways of using each selection.
This one is from an app called
"Brushes". I will have to try painting
with some acrylics one day...
this is good practice, I hope... lol ... it
will be different with actual paint
and media! I'm sure I will have even
more fun and inspiration... there will be more
room than a tiny screen to paint on!
lol Have a wonderful day and hopefully
you will do something you love...
Take care... <3 db

"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot and "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning are examples of dramatic monologue poems. Dramatic poetry is meant to be real aloud to an implied audience via an assumed voice.
"Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister" by Robert Browning is another dramatic poem. The Victorian poet became distinctive for his use of the dramatic monologue in poetry. "A Grammarian's Funeral" and "Abt Vogler" are other examples of his use of the dramatic technique in poetry.
Browning's skill with dramatic monologue influenced poets such as Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot. Pound's "Canto" poems are examples of dramatic poetry. "Killing Floor" by Ai is also influenced by Browning's technique.
Sylvia Plath wrote two dramatic poems, "Lady Lazarus" and "Mirror." Additionally, John Berryman uses the technique in his "Dream Songs" series. The series includes the dramatic monologues "Mr. Bones" and "Henry." John Ashbery's "Daffy Duck in Hollywood" is another example.
Poet Robert Hayden gives another example of dramatic monologue in "Night, Death, Mississippi." This poem is told from the point of view of an aging Ku Klux Klan member as he listens to a lynching he's too old and feeble to join.
Rudyard Kipling offers two famous examples of dramatic poetry, "Sestina of the Tramp-Royal" and "Gunga Din."

Livingston Parish Heating And Air Conditioning
Ask anyone from any part of the world if he/she can make it through the chill of the winter season without heating systems or fireplaces or if they can spend the scorching summertime afternoons, without changing on the air conditions. If the answer is a big ‘No’, then we can easily say that having heating and air conditioning in the room is undoubtedly not a luxury – it is a need. In every part of the world, domestic cooling is a common function, particularly in the heat of the summer season. The demand of the air conditions is especially high in areas where the majority of individuals reside in little high rise flats.
For all your Heat and Air needs call Stephens Heating And Air Condition 225-664-6381
Denham Springs, LA is located in the south east part of Livingston Parish and in close proximity to Walker LA. This makes the environment of this location is little bit hotter from the rest parts of Louisiana. Denham Springs takes pleasure in a damp continental environment, which implies hot and damp summer times and cold winter seasons. Hence, it is comprehended that Denham Springs individuals require cooling to keep the indoor air quality in summer season and fireplaces and heating systems in winter season to make it through the cold.
In the cooler months, fireplaces are almost the main function of every home. It is certainly a much required part of the survival strategy in the extended winter season. Still in the age of electrical room heating unit, the conventional wood fireplace has an extraordinary appeal with the sensuous direct heat and the flickers. Fireplaces have an exceptional location in the standard culture of SE Louisiana and also in places like Baton Rouge, Watson, Walker and other parts of Livingston Parish. There is no comfort that can be compared to a household conversation surrounding a fireplace on a cold winter night.
In the houses of Livingston Parish 2 kinds of air conditions are used primarily– window and split. Split ACs is relatively new additions to the domestic households. However this kind of air conditioner is more costly than the other types. Window air conditioners are based in a window as the heat goes into the space and it cools the heat wave in the room. It can make the air cool and comfortable just in the room where it lies. More pricey and more effective system can cool the room surrounding it. Spilt ac system are to be placed on the walls of a room. It does not require any wall to be placed. Window models prevail function of old families.
The office complex and some brand-new households have central air system. Central air conditioning system cools the air of the whole location concerned though the real cooling system is located someplace outside the construction. There is a thermostat to check and manage the temperature level in the house. In the older model the temperature is changed manually whereas in the current models the temperature level is configured to change at various times of the day. It assists to save the electrical power expense as well as make the house comfy with a balanced temperature between hot and cold. It keeps the house warm when your home is empty. Though this system is believed to take in more electricity amongst the 3 pointed out here, the central air conditioning system is more energy effective than the other two.
One can discover cooling in the car too today. This keeps the interior of a cars and truck comfy, especially when you are on a long drive. People typically aim to get the comforts with rolling down the glass. But it is not at as much comfortable as air condition. Often the wind outside is noisy that can ruin your concentration while you are owning. If you are driving through a cooler zone, rolling down the window will not be a sensible concept. The air condition inside can provide you much warmer surrounding than the cold outside.
In some cases the air condition may not work effectively. At such times, it is better to opt for the repairing work when the damage is low. If the issue becomes grave it suggests more hazards and more expensive repair work and replacement at times.


Shinseki should’ve made it permanent, but this is certainly better than no extension at all:

Rules Liberalized for Veterans with Undiagnosed Illnesses
Application Window Extended for Five Years
WASHINGTON – Veterans of the Persian Gulf War with undiagnosed illnesses have an additional five years to qualify for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“Not all the wounds of war are fully understood,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “When there is uncertainty about the connection between a medical problem and military service, Veterans are entitled to the benefit of the doubt.”
A recent change in VA regulations affects Veterans of the conflict in Southwest Asia. Many have attributed a range of undiagnosed or poorly understood medical problems to their military services. Chemical weapons, environmental hazards and vaccinations are among the possible causes.
At issue is the eligibility of Veterans to claim VA disability compensation based upon those undiagnosed illnesses, and the ability of survivors to qualify for VA’s Dependency and Indemnity Compensation.
Under long-standing VA rules, any undiagnosed illnesses used to establish eligibility for VA benefits must become apparent by Dec. 31, 2011. The new change pushes the date back to Dec. 31, 2016.
Veterans or survivors who believe they qualify for these benefits should contact VA at 1-800-827-1000.
Further information about undiagnosed illnesses is available online at http://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/gulfwar and http://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/oefoif/index.asp

Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran just reunited on stage to perform their hip-hop heavy collaboration End Game live for the first time.
Swift delivered the live debut in what was her first concert appearance in 10 months at the KIIS Jingle Ball concert in LA. It also marked the first time she and pal Sheeran have performed together since 2013.
She played a six-song set during which she also featured the live debut of "Look What You Made Me Do".
It was Swift's first concert performance since her pre-Super Bowl gig in February and it comes ahead of an upcoming stadium tour starting in May.
Sheeran also performed a medley of his own songs at the show, which also included performances from One Direction's Liam Payne and Niall Horan as well as Charlie Puth, Demi Lovato, Kesha, Halsey and more.
Swift recently announced she will bring her Reputation tour to New Zealand in 2018, though there are no details yet of when or where.
She released a statement on her website announcing a 2018 American tour between May and October and said: "Additional tour dates to be announced in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia & New Zealand".
Swift was last in the region when she performed in Australia at the end of 2015 for the end of her 1989 world tour that skipped New Zealand.
She has performed here before with a multi-night stand at Vector Arena in 2013.
It seems likely her show would be towards the end of 2018, making her one of several big pop names to tour here next year, including Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry and Pink.

A Hexagonal Grid Sampling Scheme for Improving X-ray Diffraction Retained Austenite Measurements of Sheet Steels
Michael Cox, Adam Creuziger, Kip Findley
Advanced High Strength Steels make use of retained austenite to improve mechanical properties. The benefits of the austenitic phase are directly tied to the phase fraction present in a material. However, phase characterization of retained austenite is complicated by the often metastable nature of the phase and the presence of crystallographic texture in many steel products. Diffraction based measurements of retained austenite in particular exhibit large texture bias errors in the measurement of sheet steels. The wide availability of low-energy X-ray diffraction equipment, however, makes the method attractive for relatively rapid characterization of materials. Reducing texture bias error for X-ray measurements of retained austenite therefore may benefit both industry and research. A method of reducing the texture bias error using a hexagonal grid sampling scheme has been investigated via simulations and validated experimentally. The sampling scheme consists of measuring the sample at multiple diffraction vectors of roughly even spacing on the pole figure. Simulation and experimental results agreed closely, particularly for the commonly performed normal direction measurement. The 30° hex scheme simulations and experimental measurement exhibited greatly reduced texture bias error.

Family's heartbreak as young pregnant mother, 30, dies after car crash...but her baby girl is delivered ALIVE
Just days after Christmas, a tragic car accident in Chandler, Arizona, took the life of a young pregnant mother, who had delivered her baby before succumbing to her injuries.
The victim, identified as 30-year-old Wei Chu, was eight months pregnant at the time of the deadly collision that took place Wednesday afternoon.
Chu was rushed to an area hospital, where she gave birth to a baby girl. Shortly after, the mother passed away. Chandler Police Department spokesman Seth Tyler said the newborn remains in extremely critical condition.
Sad sight: Wei Chu, 30, was riding in the backseat of this white Honda sedan in Chandler, Arizona, when a truck struck the vehicle in the rear
The victim was riding in the backseat of a Honda sedan when the car was struck by a flatbed truck near the intersection on Gilbert and Ocotillo roads, the Arizona Republic reported.
Detective Tyler told the Daly Mail in a phone interview that Chu was sitting in the rear of the car with her two-year-old child and a 56-year-old woman. A male family member was behind the wheel.
A Ford F-650 flatbed straight truck was driving north on Gilbert at around 12.30pm when it crashed into the Honda as it turned left from southbound Gilbert onto eastbound Octotillo.
According to the police spokesman, the 30-year-old took the brunt of the impact. The 56-year-old who was also in the car woman was taken to the hospital with minor injuries along with Chu’s older child.
Collision course: A Ford F-650 flatbed straight truck was driving north on Gilbert Road when slammed into the Honda as it turned left
Tyler said that excessive speed and impairment did not appear to be factors in the crash. He added that the driver of the Honda will be charged with a misdemeanour, but is not likely to face jail time
The police spokesperson said the driver was deeply distraught about the tragedy, as was Chu’s husband, who arrived at the scene of the crash.

And Zidane has been at the forefront of the Spanish giants’ pursuit, openly discussing the midfielder.
Solskjaer has made a point of refusing to talk about transfer targets this summer and, privately, has been angered by his Real counterpart’s lack of discretion.
Zidane mischievously hinted in March that Pogba wanted to join him at Real, stating: “He’s always said that he likes Madrid.”
Those comments were not appreciated within Old Trafford, where it remains their determination to keep hold of the World Cup winner.
And while Pogba has also publicly stated his desire to leave United, the belief within the club is that Real do not have the funds to meet their £150m-plus asking price.
Which is why Solskjaer has taken such exception to Zidane’s comments, which are only likely to further unsettle the player.
United have already rejected Real’s offer of a player-plus cash deal involving James Rodriguez and £27.6m on top.
It was considered a derisory bid and evidence of Real’s lack of spending power following the signings of Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic, Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo this summer.
But Zidane is desperate to land the France international – and the ongoing uncertainty over his future has seen United step up interest in Christian Eriksen.
Eriksen has long-been on a list of potential replacements for Pogba – even if a deal for the Tottenham playmaker is considered difficult to pull off before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
Solskjaer has already spent £140m on the signings of Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James.
He would like to bring in a midfielder and attacker before the deadline – but after United pulled the plug on a swap deal between Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala, time is running out to bring in more recruits.
Talks over Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic have also stalled.
Solskjaer is said to be comfortable heading into the new campaign with no more additions, but the pursuits of Dybala and Mandzukic are evidence of his attempts to further strengthen a squad that finished sixth last season and missed out on the Champions League for the third time in six years.

Got a Headache? Your Dentist Could Fix It!
Headaches, migraines, pain behind our eyes, sinus, and even neck and shoulder pain can usually all be fixed by a trip to the doctors. Well, it seems it is actually our dentist who could provide the answer to these common problems.
Pains such as headaches are often classic symptoms of poor dental occlusion – the way your teeth meet when your jaw bites together. So, instead of popping paracetamol or visiting the GP, harmonising your teeth and jaw joints could affect more than just your smile.
Leading UK dentists, The Perfect Smile Studios have developed 'Bite Right' - a pioneering approach to detecting the numerous symptoms associated with inferior dental occlusion and probably the most comprehensive dental assessment available in the UK.
Through specialist assessment and the unique use of a Doppler Ultrasound machine to analyse jaw joints, the Perfect Smile Studios are able to efficiently diagnose problems with a patient's jaw bite. This results in the correction of many of the symptoms associated with misalignment of a bite, as well as establishing a good basis for long-term dental health.
If your jaw is in the wrong position, your jaw muscles have to work harder to compensate, often causing muscle spasm. It is these spasms that can lead to continual headaches, sinus pain and aches in your neck and shoulders.
However, “problems with your jaw bite can result not only in referred pain such as headaches but also serious, long-term dental problems” says Dr. Ashish Parmar of the Perfect Smile Studios.
“'Occlusal' problems can cause tooth misalignment, breaks and fractures of teeth, gum problems, wearing down of teeth through grinding (particularly at night), toothaches with no obvious cause, teeth sensitivity and difficulties in opening and closing your mouth just to name a few. If undiagnosed, this can result in expensive on-going dental bills.
“One of the major problems with incorrect occlusion is that the majority of people who suffer from it don't know they are experiencing problems as a result of an incorrect bite, so it just continues to worsen. However, a 'Bite Right' examination by The Perfect Smile Studios can detect the symptoms of poor occlusion and effectively implement changes to correct the problem.”
There are several techniques The Perfect Smile Studios put into practice to re-establish healthy dental occlusion and long-term dental health for the future.
• Bite appliance therapy– a temporary soft nightguard or hard plastic
mouthguard that fits over the top or bottom teeth to avoid grinding and wearing down of the teeth. The appliance must be an exact fit so your teeth meet in a position where your muscles are relaxed
• Teeth adjustment – the position and shape of your teeth can be carefully adjusted to create harmony when your teeth meet together
• Replacement of teeth – missing teeth can cause problems with the overall alignment of your bite, so by replacing teeth with dental implants, a denture or bridgework can re-establish a correct bite
"Assessing the facial muscles, jaw joints and bite pattern of the teeth allows us to offer treatment that improves the overall dental health and wellbeing of a person” says Dr. Parmar.

Future looks promising for Pathways to Success grads
The Automotive Sector Council of Nova Scotia has opened the door to employment for the first graduates of the Pathways to Success program.
The program was developed through two years of industry-led planning, partnering with Nova Scotia Apprenticeship, the Nova Scotia Community College and equity-seeking groups.
Pathways to Success is an eight-week program delivered through online learning and in-shop training over two four-week blocks. The program provides individuals with entry-level knowledge and training as a tire and maintenance technician (TMT). The program is designed to increase recruitment and retention in the automotive industry while reducing barriers to employment. Core competencies have been identified by the industry that will qualify job seekers for employment in the automotive industry and the opportunity to work towards being certified as a tire and maintenance technician (TMT) and enrolling in apprenticeship.
Block one covers competencies deemed necessary to work in-shop as a tire technician. It prepares individuals ready to work for the upcoming tire-changing season in October.
Block two covers competencies regarding vehicle fluids and general vehicle maintenance. Upon successfully completing Block two, candidates are ready for fulltime work as tire and maintenance technicians.
Program graduates have indicated they learned more than anticipated and all the learning was relevant and applicable. Graduates are invested in the automotive industry and have future plans of progressing within the industry to begin apprenticeships or own their own automotive shops.
Not only did the graduates obtain skills and knowledge within the automotive realm, but they also indicated they learned interpersonal skills, problem-solving skills and customer service skills.
In the post-program evaluation, participants stated, “The program is so amazing and helpful to me. It also changed my attitude … that I’m important,” as well as “(The program) … showed me how to work with others, be a good leader, learn different kinds of techniques and safety rules and procedures.”
The program is also beneficial for employers. By hiring someone who has completed the Pathways to Success program (TMT), the new employee will be aware of automotive safety protocols and require less upfront training.

How effectively is your organization engaging its aging workers? The measures you take to understand and address the emerging needs of workers as they go through the aging process will go a long way to helping your firm meet its productivity objectives and achieve or maintain operational excellence.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, workers aged 45 – 55 now comprise 44 percent of the workforce; more than one in five workers is over 55. While many employers benefit from the knowledge, experience and reliability of these individuals, they need to recognize how aging affects workers and examine ways to enhance worker safety and maintain productivity.
Generally, older workers tend to have decreased strength, muscle mass, reduced fitness levels, lower aerobic capacity, increased body fat, poorer visual and audio acuity and slower cognitive speed and function. These employees may be slower at performing certain tasks; they may need more rest periods, better lighting, limited lifting requirements, sit/stand options and longer recovery times for injuries.
Besides specific assessments and recommendations to improve lighting, signage, work stations and other physical aspects of jobs, employers need to engage older workers in new ways so they actively participate in training, safety and wellness programs. Indeed, employee engagement is a key to making each of these initiatives successful.
Here are some proven approaches for employers to engage aging workers more effectively in specific safety, ergonomics, and wellness initiatives that can facilitate reduced injuries and claim severity, better productivity and improved worker satisfaction.
Revisiting Safety Training
Effective training is a critical part of enhancing safety and improving job related injuries. Aging workers have been through so many training regimens over the course of their careers that they may not respond as effectively to certain formats that might have worked when they were new to their roles.
So, you might want to revisit the approaches you’ve taken with training. For example, consider redesigning training modules so that they’re both more interactive and focused on issues that relate directly to aging workers.
Instead of playing a video or subjecting employees to a lecture format presentation, conduct classroom training with hands-on learning opportunities. Be sure to address high-risk exposures for aging workers, such as preventing falls, musculoskeletal issues and ergonomics-related problems.


Fifty-nine minutes and 54 seconds of mesmerizing football had already transpired on the night of Jan. 9, and if any in the crowd of 74,512 had departed Raymond James Stadium in Tampa before the clock showed 0:06, well, they'll never admit it. By that point, Clemson had run up 509 yards of offense. Alabama led, 31-28. Two yards stood between the Tigers and a national championship. Two yards — and an Alabama defense that, regardless of the chunks allowed that night and even on that drive, boasted five players who would be chosen in the first two rounds of the upcoming NFL draft.
"We know, in those situations, you don't need to press," said Artavis Scott, then a junior receiver at Clemson. "We've done this in practice 1,000 times. If we press in those situations, and you're not calm, that's when you can make mistakes."
With Clemson and Alabama set to play a third straight classic in the College Football Playoff — this one on New Year's Day in the national semifinal, rather than the past two years for the championship — the play that covered those final two yards will be shown ad nauseam, broken down frame-by-frame. It will, again and again, be deemed brilliant in South Carolina. It will, again and again, be railed against with fresh ire in Alabama.
But in the moment — with every hair on the back of every neck standing at full attention — the potential for mayhem was real. With six seconds to go, Clemson's coaches had to quickly determine what play to run. Clemson's players had to calmly run it, even if a championship hung in the balance.
"We had talked about this situation," said Jeff Scott, once a Clemson receiver, now the Tigers' co-offensive coordinator. "We felt like our season was a season of destiny. We told them, 'There's going to be some great ending tonight. We don't know what that ending's going to look like,' but there was a feeling that this game was going to come down to some special ending."
So here it was. Through his headset, Tony Elliott, another former Clemson wide receiver who now serves as Jeff Scott's partner in coordinating and calling the Tigers' offense, heard Scott speak. Fifteen years earlier, he and Elliott had been teammates, sharing practice time and position group meetings as players. Here, with six seconds left and a deficit to overcome, they had to be able to finish each other's sentence. They had to know what play to call. They had to answer to Coach Dabo Swinney and the entire Tiger fan base, rabid for its first national championship since 1981.
And they had to agree.
"Jeff said, 'I feel really, really good about this particular play,' " Elliott said.
Elliott agreed. And so they sent it in to quarterback Deshaun Watson and the offense: "Paul Right Crush."
The nature of the third version of the College Football Playoff's national championship game had already been outright frenetic. Clemson trailed once by 14 and twice by 10, and even when the Tigers scratched back and took a 28-24 lead on Wayne Gallman's one-yard run, there was still so much in the balance. The clock, as Clemson's offense went to the sideline, showed 4:38 remaining.
"Everyone was kind of freaking out," said Hunter Renfrow, then a sophomore receiver. "But I think we kind of knew we were going to have to score again."
In the press box, Elliott was communicating with the rest of the offensive coaching staff — including Swinney and Jeff Scott, who works from the sideline on game days — about two different scenarios: What if Alabama scored with a couple of minutes left, and what if the Tide scored and left the Tigers only several seconds?
When Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts broke no fewer than five tackles over the course of a ridiculous 30-yard run, the Crimson Tide had the lead again, and the Clemson coaches had their answer: There was 2:07 remaining.
"I looked up, and I started saying it right away," said Artavis Scott. "They left too much time on the clock."
"I remember thinking, 'It's not over,' " said Marlon Humphrey, then an Alabama defensive back. Humphrey knew that as many stars as the Tide carried on its defense, Clemson could counter them man-for-man with its offense — led by receiver Mike Williams, who had already caught seven passes, and Watson, the quarterback who had already thrown for 370 yards.
"I thought about how good Deshaun was playing," said Humphrey, now a rookie defensive back for the Baltimore Ravens, "and the kind of player he is, the situations he can come through in. It wasn't over."
Watson, by that point, was starting his 35th game for the Tigers, all in the offense designed and installed by former offensive coordinator Chad Morris, who had departed to become the head coach at SMU (and has since been named the coach at Arkansas). He was so in control of the flow and tempo of a game that Clemson was actually at its best in the situation it faced at that moment — running no-huddle, having to move the chains and score in a two-minute situation.
"It just fits with our mentality," Elliott said. "Play fast."
With the Tigers trailing by three and the ball on the Clemson 32-yard line after C.J. Fuller's kick return, the clock showed 2:01 remaining. A field goal would have tied the game, and if the Tigers gained just 40 yards, they would have been within the range of kicker Greg Huegel. But in the coaches' box, on the sideline, in the huddle — a field goal wasn't a thought.
"We weren't calling plays for an overtime," Jeff Scott said. "We were calling plays to win the game."
And so off they went — a leaping, in-the-middle-of-traffic grab by Williams for 24 yards, a strike from Watson to tight end Jordan Leggett for 17 more. Clemson's last time out taken, then Watson, looking for Williams, and a pass interference call. It left this: first and goal from the Alabama 2-yard line with those six seconds left. Scott and Elliott, the co-coordinators, had one more decision to make: Which weapon should we choose?
"We kind of have a saying that in big moments, be sure to find a way to get the ball to your best playmakers, to those guys that can make plays in critical spots," Jeff Scott said. "Hunter Renfrow has been that guy for us."
When Renfrow left his home town of Myrtle Beach, S.C., in the fall of 2014, he had never played receiver. He had been an option quarterback at Socastee High, and there were plenty of people who told him he had a brighter future as a baseball player than he did at the FBS level of football, for which he was not offered a scholarship.
But Renfrow had always wanted to play at the highest level, and he always wanted to be a receiver. His primary experience at the position: the backyard at Thanksgiving. Before you dismiss such a notion as some sort of "experience," know Renfrow is the fourth of six children. Know that his father, Tim, played football at Wofford. And know Tim Renfrow is one of 11 kids. By last count, Hunter Renfrow has 63 first cousins.
Now, what can you learn about trying to catch passes in that kind of family football game?
"There's no flags in the backyard," Renfrow said.
Still, the obstacles were significant. When he arrived at Clemson, Renfrow weighed 160 pounds. He walked on to the Tigers. In his first practice, by his own estimate, he dropped perhaps six of the 12 passes thrown his way. He remembers thinking: "I don't know if I'm good enough."
The Clemson coaching staff made the easy decision to redshirt him, and they stuck him on the scout team. At that point, Morris was still running the offense, and Elliott and Scott were among his position coaches. Occasionally, the offensive staff would hear stories about the walk-on receiver who was starting to make plays against Clemson's first-team defense, which allowed fewer yards per game than any unit in the country. Renfrow worked against T.J. Green and Mackensie Alexander, defensive backs who would eventually be taken in the second round of the NFL draft. When the offensive coaches saw Renfrow in drills the following spring, he was a different player.
"He started to believe, 'Hey, I can do this,' " Scott said.
By the time Clemson got the ball for its decisive possession against Alabama, Renfrow was not only a known commodity, but a burgeoning force. As a redshirt freshman in 2015, he caught 33 passes and five touchdowns, including two scores in Clemson's 45-40 loss to Alabama in the national title game. As a sophomore, he had 42 catches and five touchdowns before the final drive started.
"I just remember thinking, 'What's going on with him that he's getting open so much?' " said Humphrey.
Renfrow's coaches and teammates knew. First, his athleticism is underestimated. But Scott, who serves as the receivers coach as well as a coordinator, also recognizes the way Renfrow runs, with his torso bent over his knees so he can get lower to the ground. This allows Renfrow to change directions — and therefore, get open — more effectively than other receivers with the same ability.
"He can put his foot in the ground going full-speed and make a 90-degree cut as good as any receiver I've had at Clemson," Scott said. "He also just has that sixth sense — when to break out, when to continue a route, when to stop a route."
And he knew how to get open on "Paul Right Crush."
Down three points with six seconds left and the ball at the 2-yard line, the Clemson coaching staff felt confident the Tigers could get off a snap and, if the play wasn't there, Watson would be able to throw the ball out of bounds, leaving enough time for the Tigers to kick what would have been the game-tying field goal.
Scott and Elliott, working off the play sheet they had drawn up with the offensive staff in the week leading up to the game, essentially needed a two-point conversion. Each looked at his list of plays. On the field, Artavis Scott was all but jumping up and down. Scott had 245 catches in his career, more than any player in school history. But with the championship in the balance, he wanted the ball to go to another man: Renfrow.
"I'm telling you, man," Scott, now on the practice squad of the Los Angeles Chargers, said by phone last week. "I don't get the credit, but I called that play. I looked over at the sideline and gave them that little signal."
The play was a natural for a variety of reasons. With the ball on the left hash mark, Watson, a right-handed passer, would be able to roll right, setting up a natural throwing motion. The play would also develop on the wide side of the field, giving Scott, who would be lined up wide, and Renfrow, lined up in the slot, more room to operate.
Plus, the play had an adjustment for whatever defense the Tide threw at the Tigers. Clemson's coaching staff had studied enough film of Alabama — which is to say, all of it — that it knew the Tide almost always played an aggressive, man-to-man defense inside the 5-yard line. But part of the appeal of "Crush" was that, should Alabama try a counter-strategy and come with zone coverage, Scott would know to break off his assignment and run a corner route to the back right of the end zone.
"That particular play," Jeff Scott said, "had an answer for both man and zone."
Still, the Tigers expected man. In that case, Artavis Scott wouldn't be the intended target, but he would be the key. Scott's job: run toward the man covering Renfrow and, in the words of the Clemson staff, provide enough of a "disruption" to allow Renfrow, running a shallow pattern to his right, to come open.
Now, in Alabama, that "disruption" is known to this day as a "pick," and legions of Crimson faithful will point out that, in a marquee game between Notre Dame and Florida State in the fall of 2014, the Irish's go-ahead touchdown in the final seconds was wiped out by a penalty because a receiver had illegally picked a Seminoles defensive back, not to mention that in an on-field interview for the whole world to see just after the Clemson-Alabama, Watson referred to "crush" as a "pick play."
"I had a feeling they were going to do a nice pick route," Humphrey said.
But if Artavis Scott is the key to the play, then getting him to run the disruption in a legal fashion is the key to the key. "There's an art to coaching it," said Jeff Scott, and the Tigers had run it so often — Renfrow remembers the first touchdown of the Tigers' spring game coming on "Crush" — that Artavis Scott was an expert in its execution.
"To be honest, it's really not that difficult," Scott said. "You're running a route. You're actually running a route, and you have to read the man you're covering. If he stays there and tries to in-and-out you, you run your route. If he's in man, you do the rest."
The first part of the call — "Paul" — describes the formation, and the Tigers started with an empty backfield. "Window-dressing," Jeff Scott called it, because they had run the play against Ohio State the week before, and they wanted to disguise it. Watson, in the shotgun, then had Gallman go in motion and join him, set to his right, before he took the snap.
From the coaches' box, Elliott peered down. He saw Humphrey lined up over Artavis Scott wide to the right. He saw junior defensive back Tony Brown covering Renfrow in the slot. Their demeanor showed what Clemson's coaches suspected: they were level with each other, locked in on their men.
"Once I saw them line up," Elliott said, "I knew we had it."
When Watson took the snap, he rolled right, seven quick steps. That allowed Scott time to run diagonally into the end zone, where he and Humphrey came into contact.
"When I went to run my route, I feel his hands all over my back," Scott said. "He tackled me. If you watch it, that's what happens. Everyone always says, 'It's a pick play.' I'm still trying to wrap my head around that. Truth be told, he tackled me."
In the locker room after the game, several Alabama defenders adamantly argued the play was illegal. For his part nearly a year later, Humphrey is diplomatic.
"It was legal," he said. "If it wasn't legal, they would've thrown a flag."
With Scott and Humphrey creating the disruption, Brown, the defensive back lined up over Renfrow, had to run around them both. Renfrow, too, entered the mix.
"I almost tripped on Artavis's feet," Renfrow said. "But we've run it so many times. We know the depth. We know how to read it. We know how it works."
When it works, Renfrow ends up wide open on the goal line. And there he stood.
"People ask me all the time, 'Were you worried you were going to drop it?' " Renfrow said by phone last week. "But we've just done it so many times, it's second nature. I just remember looking, making sure there was no yellow on the ground."
Watson made the last of his 56 throws. Renfrow made the last of his 10 catches. Renfrow rolled over, popped up on the sideline, and looked. The yellow never came. So he jumped into the arms of Leggett, the senior tight end, as his teammates mobbed him. The clock showed one second left.
"Just being a college football fan," Renfrow said, "you know what it means."
But just being a college football fan, you might not know how it got there. From Chad Morris's original Clemson playbook to spring practices using a former walk-on wide receiver to the call sheet of Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott as a potential two-point conversion play for the national championship: "Paul Right Crush," the play that won Clemson a title.

Watching playback of multiplayer games ends early. (8 player game, 1 disconnect at very start of game). Playback ends very early just a few seconds after first player clicks up to castle age. The filesize on disk of the AOE2RECORD file is 5,177KB, which is comparable to my other replays which lasted to post-imperial as this match did. Makes me think that the record file actually did continue to record but the playback is the problem.
This has happened multiple times to my replays. I’m not sure how to reproduce it but I’m willing to hand over affected AOE2RECORD files if it would help figure out the issue. I also have a game which lasted 9 hours in singleplayer, and I could playback the entire thing without any issue, so it may be limited to multiplayer replays.
Then what is the point of enabling recording of replays if the host is required to sit through the whole game? This has happened to me with unranked 4v4 games where the host has quit within 20 mins and the game has lasted 1+ hrs. The replay ends after 20 mins…
In this case, a person left at the very start, but the recording stops at about 20 minutes. Nobody else disconnected until the end. It was also a ranked automatch, I wasn’t aware that there’s a player host to ranked matches? And if so, why did it take 20 minutes for the replay to stop if the only player to disconnect disconnected in early dark age. It also doesn’t explain why the filesize of the replay seems correct compare to other similar game replays that do work
A couple of my latest replays end way too early for some reason. This is not related to the 15 second replay bug that I posted as a separate bug report. I had a game that lasted around 2h. The replay ends at 1h1m. Game was an unranked 4v4 Arena match.
Come on guys. Watching replays is as much fun as playing the game. Please, at the very least, acknowledge this bug. I can post the replay files if required.
Just noticed in a game where I resigned early. The replay still played through till the end since I kept watching the game. Which means that the replay goes on as long as nobody actually quits to the main menu after resigning. If resigned players keep watching the game, it will record till the end.
I had the same issue in a non ranked game. One player resigned early but the game kept going. During the replay it ends as soon as the first player resigned even though there was more of the game after that.
I really, really want something to be done about this. Why can’t every player get a their own copy of the replay?
I just had a very interesting, hour long, neck-a-neck game where at the end I missclicked and returned to the lobbies. Thought I’d just run the replay… denied. Host lost 15 minutes into the game. Replay ends. Not the first interesting match where I wanted to take some notes from the replay… Kinda defeats the whole purpose of a replay in the first place, no?
Yeah, I’ve stopped even looking at replays unless it’s a 1v1 match because someone, even if its a v/s AI match, invariably resigns 20 mins into the game. Instead of fixing bugs that’ve existed for a long time, we get tosh like auto-scouting which will also invariably have game-breaking bugs considering the quality of patches that add more bugs than they fix.
Currently experiencing this as well. Awful for FFA games, I had the replay work properly once, and as a previous commenter suggested, I think it’s because the player who resigned watched until the end. But having 2 hour games end at the 20 minute mark is quite sad.
