The 1700-seat Bartlesville Community Center was built in 1982 and serves the entire region as a multi-purpose facility for all types of performances and events. Its concert hall is renowned for its beauty and marvelous acoustics, and it is on this stage that the Bartlesville Symphony has become such a vital force in the community’s culture. The hall was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright protégé William Wesley Peters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and Taliesin. The striking architecture, particularly in juxtaposition to Wright’s famous Price Tower across the street, has made the Community Center a visual focal point of downtown Bartlesville.

Snub doesn’t change data on schools
Published 6:01 pm, Wednesday, June 15, 2016
For the second year in a row, local school administrations have chosen not to acknowledge the school ranking report from Children at Risk.
North East Independent School district officials even went as far as denying a request from the Express-News for a visit to a campus that ranked high in the report.
They said they had not participated in the study. It should be pointed out that school districts did not have to opt in to be included in the Children at Risk school-ranking report.
The Houston-based nonprofit, nonpartisan research advocacy organization that focuses on public policies and the effect they have on Texas children analyzed data collected by the Texas Education Agency. That public information is gathered from all the public schools in the state and is available to anyone for the asking.
There appears to be a consensus among local school administrators that the analysis Children at Risk provides is over-simplistic and does not present a true portrait of what is going on in the classroom. One administrator said he and his peers would prefer the organization “roll up its sleeve and do something” about the shortcomings rather than present data detailing what is common knowledge.
Chief among the complaints is that most of the highest-ranking schools are in affluent areas or preselect their students because they operate as magnet schools or early college high schools.
The rankings are based on multiple factors, including standardized test scores, year-over-year gains, graduation rates, and SAT, ACT, Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate scores. They also factor in student demographics.
Opinions will vary on how best to use the data the state education agency collects from the more than 1,000 Texas school districts. No one method is going to meet everyone’s expectations.
Children at Risk’s A-through-F rankings system does not sit well with many, but it is a grading system parents can understand. It is a tool that can help the average person not immersed in education policy attempt to make some sense of what is happening in our classrooms.
Over the years, Children at Risk has adjusted the number-crunching to address school administrators’ concerns, and that dialogue should continue. School districts lack the resources to do the in-depth analysis of the data the nonprofit provides.
Instead of simply ignoring its existence, the report should be used as a conversation starter on why certain schools in a district rank as they do.
While the message contained in the Children at Risk report may not be welcome, it does not change the basic data.
If administrators believe there needs to be an asterisk attached to their district’s report, parents need to hear that, too.

Animal Care & Control Urges Pet Owners to Keep Pets Safe this Summer
Triple digit temperatures have hit the Valley and Maricopa County Animal Care & Control (MCACC) is reminding pet owners to keep a close eye on pets during the extreme heat. Did you know that some dogs can’t swim? Does the big shade tree in your yard only provide shade during the cooler morning hours? Did you realize that your dogs paw pads can burn on hot pavement? Here are a few simple tips to keep in mind as we head into the dog days of summer …
Keep pets indoors.
On extremely hot days, MCACC urges pet owners to keep pets indoors. If you absolutely cannot bring your animal inside, be sure he has access to shade throughout the entire day. While a dog house may provide shade, it does not allow air to circulate and provides no relieve from the heat. Shady trees and covered patios provide the best relief from the glaring sun.
Provide plenty of fresh, clean water.
Just like us, pets can get dehydrated. Provide plenty of water in a spill proof, non-metal bowl out of direct sunlight. Be sure to change the water daily and remember that many pets won’t drink if the water is too hot.
Limit exercise on hot days.
While your dog’s paw pads may be tough, they are still sensitive and can be burned when walking on hot pavement. Limit your dog’s exercise on hot days and walk him during the early morning or late evening hours. If it’s too hot for your bare feet, chances are it is too hot for your dog’s paws!
Don’t leave pets in parked cars.
Even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside a car can soar within minutes. On an 85-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. Keep pets at home while you run errands.
Watch your pets around water.
Not every dog knows how to swim and most dogs won’t know how to get out of the swimming pool. Teach your dog where the steps are located and ensure he knows how to find his way out should he accidentally (or purposely) land in the pool. Don’t allow pets to be unsupervised during water play. If you plan on taking your dog to the lake or on a boat ride, consider purchasing a dog life jacket at a local pet supply store or online.
Recognize the signs of heat stress.
Dogs and cats pant to regulate their body temperature but this method can be easily overwhelmed during extreme heat. As pet owners, it’s up to us to make sure we know the signs of heat stress and how to deal with it should a situation arise. Lethargy, extreme panting, excessive salivation, weakness and collapse are just a few of the signs of heat related illness in pets. If your animal exhibits any of these symptoms, apply cool (not cold) compresses and get your pet to the veterinarian immediately. Heat stress is a very serious condition that could result in death.

Video: Kelly Lee Owens – Throwing Lines
London-based producer Kelly Lee Owens is announcing her first ever North American tour in support of her self-titled, debut album, released this past March via Smalltown Supersound. On stage as on record, Kelly blurs the line between throbbing techno and pop vocal performances.
Additionally, Kelly now presents the video for “Throwing Lines.” As Kelly describes it, “This is one of the poppiest tracks on my record and it could have had a showy video to match, but it feels good to take the piss instead – out of myself and that world.”
Kelly Lee Owens bridges the gaps between cavernous techno, spectral pop, and Krautrock’s mechanical pulse, It brims with exploratory wonder and delves into a variety of moods – sadness, anxiety, and darkly shaded ecstasy – with a trippy-eyed clarity and confidence. Since announcing her debut album, Kelly has quickly become regarded as one of the most exciting new artists to watch from the likes of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, and way beyond.

Remote sensing technology can be a cost-effective tool to help international development practitioners monitor project outcomes
Technology can be very handy to monitor progress over time and assess results of projects, especially where resources are limited and investments should be prioritized. Remote sensing technologies offer exciting opportunities for more effective monitoring.
ADB’s Independent Evaluation Department has been piloting remote sensing in recent evaluations, with impressive results.
Remote sensing is the process of detecting the physical characteristics of the terrain using sensors or cameras in satellites, aircraft, and even with sonar systems on ships. Large images help us to see and understand much more of what is happening on the ground. If we use historical remotely sensed images, we can examine changes over time such as for land use or deforestation.
We began by using remotely sensed land cover data to help identify comparison towns for an impact evaluation of a water supply project in Nepal, which aimed to improve household welfare in small towns through better water service delivery. More recently, we also deployed this technology for a sector-wide evaluation of ADB’s support for agriculture, natural resources and rural development by measuring outcomes in two case studies on natural resources and irrigation.
The results from both pilots offer strong evidence to justify wider uptake and application of remote sensing for outcome monitoring and evaluation.
Projects in sectors like agriculture and natural resources can be particularly difficult to monitor and evaluate, as sites are typically distributed widely across landscapes and often in remote locations. This poses challenges to evaluators, both in terms of logistics and time to ensure that sufficient sites are visited to allow for a representative assessment of results.
However, projects from these sectors are often designed with spatially related outcome targets—such as an increase in the area of restored wetland, increased forest cover, or greater wheat tonnage per hectare of farmed area—which can be readily measured over time using remote sensing technologies.
Remotely sensed land cover data captured by sensors in satellites like NASA’s Landsat are ideal to track the achievement of such outcome targets. We piloted this approach in a wetland restoration project in the Peoples’ Republic of China and a water resources project in Bangladesh.
The majestic wetlands of the Sanjiang Plain, in the northwest of the Peoples’ Republic of China, is one of the richest areas of globally significant biodiversity, particularly for water birds. However, agriculture has created a major pressure on these wetlands.
ADB, with cofinancing from the Global Environment Facility, implemented an integrated conservation and development model with restoration activities, reforestation, and provision of alternative livelihoods for affected peoples. To measure the impact of wetland restoration activities completed between 2006 and 2008, we decided to use freely available earth observation Landsat data to assess changes in land cover in the Qixinghe Nature Reserve, one of six protected areas covered by the project.
We used remotely-sensed data over four time slices in 2000, 2005, 2011, and 2017 to track land cover change before and after the project. The remotely sensed data provided two findings that would have been difficult to get without such technology.
On the positive side, the data showed that since the project began in 2005, the increase in agriculture use within the protected area has halted. Today, there is no trace of agriculture activities in the core zone of the wetland. Unfortunately, ongoing agriculture activities can still be seen in the buffer and experimental zones, which requires continued attention to restore the integrity of the wetland.
The second case study was in a 300-hectare irrigation command area in Bangladesh, a subproject that had benefited from two sequential ADB investments over 15 years. These had combined irrigation infrastructure improvements with the introduction of high-yield varieties of rice and were cofinanced by the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
Using the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI, a measure of crop “greenness”) from remotely sensed data as a surrogate for crop yield, we tracked the index levels pre- and post-project just before the harvest time of the rice crops. The remotely sensed data used to track increases in crop yields from 2000 to 2017 validated the yields reported by the farmers, and confirmed that the relative increases in rice yield was of a similar order of magnitude to officially reported values.
Again, such independent confirmation would not be readily available through other means.
Looking to the future and other sectors, there are growing opportunities to apply remote sensing technologies, like in transport where nighttime luminosity data have proven to be a good indicator of economic activity. For example, a recent USAID geospatial impact evaluation analyzed the timing and location of road improvements and remotely sensed nighttime lights outcome data to determine a program’s impact on economic development.
There are some considerations to be borne in mind when using remote sensing for monitoring project outcomes.
Cloud-free data may not always be available for the time series of interest and, while remotely sensed data is readily accessible and often free of charge, it does require expertise to process. Collecting ground truth data to verify the remotely sensed data will also bear a cost.
Nonetheless, remote sensing can be a cost-effective tool to help practitioners monitor outcomes for relatively straightforward indicators like land cover change and the normalized difference vegetation index, adding value to traditional monitoring approaches, helping establish baselines and better track the achievement of spatially related outcomes.

Camisea, one of the largest natural gas fields in Latin America, located approximately 500 kilometers east of Lima (Peru), has become the epicenter of a possible legal battle between SK Innovation, the largest hydrocarbon company in Korea. South, and the State of Peru.
The events date back to September 2019, when the Korean company reached an agreement to sell 17.6% of its stake in the project to the Argentine Pluspetrol, which maintains a position of 27%, for 1,052 million dollars (871 millions of euros).
However, those involved were met with the refusal of the Government of Peru to said agreement due to the lack of approval of an anti-corruption clause in the contract.
Specifically, the Andean Administration obliged the buyer to relinquish their rights over the deposit in the event that the company or other companies in the consortium were involved in a case of corruption anywhere and at any time, both present and future.
To carry out the agreement, the State required the other consortium partners to sign the document, including Hunt Oil, Repsol, Sonatrach and Tecpetrol.
Given the position of the Peruvian authorities, SK Innovation notified a couple of weeks ago that it was evaluating an international arbitration against the Peruvian State.
“SK wants to sell its stake to one of its partners in the consortium, but it cannot do so because the Peruvian state, which has to give its approval for any change, refuses to give it,” it explained in a statement.
In this sense, the company understood that it was “very unlikely” that any company is willing to sign a clause of these characteristics. “The Peruvian state is making it impossible for SK to sell its stake, severely affecting its property rights,” the company said.
The company highlighted that the country’s position on this matter was a violation of international law and the Free Trade Agreement between Peru and South Korea, and warned that blocking the operation would mean a loss of 1,000 million dollars (828 millions of euros)
for the country, among other impacts.
“This decision to consider arbitration hurts us and we do not take it lightly, but SK is facing the threat of significant and irreparable financial damage and must protect its rights,” the company added.
In the absence of knowing the end of the litigation, it should be noted that the closing of the agreement will be subject to the approval of various Peruvian authorities, such as the state company PerúPetro, the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

RFID on the next iPhone? Why?(Read article summary)
An RFID-equipped iPhone could open doors – literally – and advance the technology.
Reports are coming in that Apple (in addition to rolling out a smaller capacity Droid-fighter) has plans to build RFID capabilities into its next iPhone. Why would Steve Jobs and the folks in Cupertino do that?
Most people think of RFID (not always viewed as the most secure of systems) as the cards and scanners used for corporate building access. But recent advances in "near-field communication" (NFC) have broadened the spectrum of RFID's uses.
Think of NFC as enhanced RFID. With RFID, there is a distinct card and reader, and the card can be read when it comes into proximity with the reader. NFC does the same thing, but combines the card and reader functions, enabling two-way communication.
What does Apple want with NFC?
A highly reliable source has informed me that Apple has built some prototypes of the next gen iPhone with an RFID reader built in and they have seen it in action. So its not full NFC but its a start for real service discovery and I'm told that the reaction was very positive that we can expect this in the next gen iPhone.
So we could soon be ditching those RFID cards and using our iPhones to open doors, ride the subway, or rent Zipcars. Big whoop, right? Well, yes, but there's more.

Where do carrion beetles live?
Where do carrion beetles live?
carrion beetle, (family Silphidae), any of a group of beetles (insect order Coleoptera), most of which feed on the bodies of dead and decaying animals, thus playing a major role as decomposers. A few live in beehives as scavengers, and some eyeless ones live in caves and feed on bat droppings.
Where do American burying beetles live?
RANGE: The historical distribution of the American burying beetle included the eastern half of North America. It is currently found in eight states — Rhode Island, Massachusetts, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma.
Why do sexton beetles bury dead animals?
Beneficial Because: Burying beetles remove decomposing dead animals such as mice and small birds from the soil surface by burying them underground. As well as providing the essential food source for their larvae, it restricts the spread of any diseases from the corpse.
Are carrion beetles rare?
Not at all. The creatures are carrion beetles, also commonly known as burying beetles, and they are on of nature’s most efficient and fascinating recyclers. But, like several other insect species, these beetles are nearing extinction.
Where do carrion beetles lay eggs?
The adult carrion beetles lay eggs on or near a decomposing carcass.
Are carrion beetles harmful?
Animals with bright colors can be poisonous, so the bright colors of some Carrion beetles make predators think they are poisonous. They secrete a strong, smelly odor that irritates other bugs and small animals. They can even spray the odor at predators to keep them away.
What eats American burying beetles?
Prey species were generally less plentiful. Widespread cutting of forests increased edge habitat, which led to more predators and scavengers such as foxes, raccoons, opossums, skunks and crows. All competed with the beetles for carrion. The optimum-sized, carrion food-base was reduced throughout the beetle’s range.
Is the American burying beetle endangered?
Critically EndangeredAmerican burying beetle / Conservation status
Can sexton beetles fly?
As they fly long distances to feed on carrion they can be seen a wide variety of habitats were their food is to be found. Mainly April to September. The Sexton beetles are the undertakers of the insect world. They fly to carrion, attracted by the smell.
What do sexton beetles eat?
Nicrophorines are sometimes known as sexton beetles. The number of species is relatively small and around two hundred. They are more diverse in the temperate region although a few tropical endemics are known. Both subfamilies feed on decaying organic matter such as dead animals.
Are carrion beetles beneficial?
Carrion beetles eat the rotting flesh of dead animals so they are a very important kind of beneficial bug called “decomposers”.
Do carrion beetles eat plants?
The American Carrion Beetle (Necrophila americana) belongs to a family of carrion beetles called Silphidae. It feeds primarily on decaying plants and animals, in both the adult and larval stage of its life cycle. It will also sometimes feed on fungi or rotten fruit, and so can often be found in or near compost bins.
Is Nicrophorus vespilloides a model organism for social immunity?
N. vespilloides is also used as a model organism in the study of social immunity. Sikes, D.S; S. T. Trumbo; S.B. Peck (2016). “Cryptic diversity in the New World burying beetle fauna: Nicrophorus hebes Kirby, 1837; new status as a resurrected name (Coleoptera: Silphidae: Nicrophorinae)” (pdf).
Can Nicrophorus develop without parental feeding?
Large species such as Nicrophorus orbicollis and N. sayi (both from N. America) are totally dependent on receiving some parental feeding in order to complete larval development. But smaller species like N. vespilloides can develop in the absence of adults, if necessary.
Do Nicrophorus mites eat flies?
Nicrophorus vespillo with load of phoretic mites around thorax and abdomen The adult beetles carry special phoretic mites that eat the flies (including eggs and larvae) on the carcass whenever they can; but sometimes are forced to abandon a carcass if the number of fly maggots becomes too great.

A vestige of the discredited school 'zero tolerance' policies of the last decade is now history in Texas. 1200 WOAI news reprots that a measure approved by lawmakers and which took effect on Sunday strips ISD police officers from writing tickets to students for disciplinary offenses, like running in the hallways or engaging in pushing and shoving in the locker room.
Jennifer Calderon of the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition, who fought for the new law, says it dates back to the years after the 1999 Columbine Massacre, when school administrators thought the best way to protect students was to crack down hard on all types of behaviors.
"Policies such as 'zero tolerance'," Calderon said.
In addition to embarrassing episodes like the Straight-A honor student being suspended because she had two Midol in her backpack because, hey, it's 'zero tolerance,' and there's nothing we can do about it, ISD police forces were beefed up and were given the responsibility of doing what twenty years ago would have been done by the principal and maybe a paddle.
But Calderon says this led to a disturbing 'school to prison pipeline' which was unfairly singling out minority students. A survey done several years ago showed that 80% of African American high school students in Texas had been ticketed for at least one disciplinary offense.
"We are very happy to see that the Texas Legislature is supportive of progressive sanctions, instead of criminalizing adolescent behavior," she said.
ISD police officers will still be able to write traffic tickets, and will be able to ticket students for offenses which would be a crime outside the school, like any type of sexual assault.
But Calderon and other experts say the result of 'zero tolerance' is that when the student went to the Magistrate or JP court to pay the $150, he or she often didn't realize that they were pleading guilty to an adult court Class C misdemeanor.
That meant that in this day of more and more jobs requiring criminal background checks, students decades later could fail a criminal background check and not get a job due to an infraction in high school which should have been handled by the administration.
Calderon says the new law will empower school administrators by allowing them to adopt 'progressive sanction' against students who misbehave, without saddling them with a lifelong criminal record.
"Student contracts to review of objectionable behavior to bringing in parents, to community service," she said.

The latest in the string of revelations is that confidence is built when skills training is put into action. A new report from DDI and the Conference Board correlates corporate financial performance with higher proportion of women leaders and women high-potentials.
The top 20% performers in the study’s sample of global companies counted women as 37% of all leaders, and as 12% of all high potentials. But at the bottom-performing 20%, women accounted for 19% of all leaders and 8% of all high potentials.
One of the key factors: leadership development programs don’t exist in a vacuum at the top-performing companies. Instead, programs are blended with real-life experience. It’s boots-on-the-ground experience that turns book knowledge to financial results.
Programs that make that link drive real results. That’s how accounting firm Rothstein Kass captured $6.5 million in top line revenue growth from its Rainmakers Roundtable program, designed by Melissa McClenaghan Martin of M3.
Mentoring and sponsorship are important, but it’s results that deliver direct return on advancing women. Skills training, put into action – and yes, that means taking calculated risks as women (and men) stride into new territory – might be the final missing link.

Because of its amazing health benefits, pomegranate is considered a superfood. Rich in antioxidants, pomegranate is especially good for the health of the cardiovascular system. According to studies, regular intake of pomegranate juice not only helps in arresting progression of atherosclerosis, it also helps in reversing the condition by clearing the arteries.Atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries occurs due to accumulation of plague in the arteries.
It slows down blood flow, which is a leading cause of stroke and heart attack. Pomegranate protects the blood vessels from damage induced by stress. The antioxidant constituents of pomegranate inhibit oxidation of the low-density lipoprotein. Furthermore, it promotes nitric oxide synthesis that helps in relaxing the arteries and improves blood flow. Hence, pomegranate is considered an effective remedy for blocked arteries.
Here Are Some Simple Ways Of Unclogging Arteries With The Help Of Pomegranate:
1. Fresh Pomegranate Juice:
To reduce blockage of the coronary arteries, drink 8 to 12 ounces of fresh pomegranate juice daily. For best result, extract pomegranate juice from the seeds at home. As the homemade juices are free from additives and preservatives, they are safe for health. However, if you are buying pomegranate juice from grocery stores opt for 100% pure pomegranate juice that does not contain added sugar .
2. Antioxidant Rich Pomegranate Smoothie
By combining pomegranate with antioxidant flavonoid rich berries, carotenoid rich spinach and heart-friendly fatty acids rich avocado and flaxseeds you can create a wonderful smoothie for cleansing the arteries. For this recipe you will need one cup of fresh pomegranate juice, two cups of fresh or frozen strawberries, one cup of fresh or frozen blueberries, half an avocado, eight cups of spinach and two tablespoons of ground flaxseeds. Blend all the ingredients.
3. Pomegranate And Fruit Juices
Another easy way to promote cleansing of the arteries is to combine pomegranate juice with orange juice packed with vitamin C, apple juice loaded with antioxidant flavonoids, beta-carotene rich carrot juice and ginger juice packed with anti-inflammatory compounds.
4. Pomegranate Seeds Decoction
To unclog the arteries, you can also drink decoction of dried pomegranate seeds. To prepare the decoction, boil a handful of dried pomegranate seeds in 500 ml of water for 10 minutes. Strain the decoction and drink it in the morning on empty stomach.
5. Pomegranate Peel Tea
After eating the fruit, don’t discard the peel, because pomegranate peel is packed with antioxidant compounds that can aid in artery cleansing. Take 10 grams of dried pomegranate peel in a glass and pour 200 ml of boiling water. Cover the glass and steep for 25 minutes. Strain and drink the tea.

Immersive app created to support global new model launch for Lexus
360-degree augmented reality experience
Used in 35 countries and translated in 27 languages
Optimised for multiple locations and environments including on and offline
What you need to know
The vision for the Lexus app was to create a truly immersive experience which would bring the new Lexus IS to life virtually. In the competitive luxury car market, where customers are time poor and spoiled for choice, the app needed to create an experience which could explain the complex technology behind the Lexus IS in a simple and easily digestible way, while also acting as a sales tool.
Apadmi created an app which gave customers and salespeople x-ray vision of the product from every angle. This allowed them to explore the design, interior, features, mechanics and engineering of the vehicle - both with retailers and in their own time. And crucially before the physical product had arrived in showrooms.
Working with Lexus gave our team the ability to utilise their skills and expertise with Augmented Reality. At the time, it was a ground-breaking project, stretching the boundaries of the buyer journey and establishing the impact tech can have on a sales journey.
Nick Black Apadmi Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer
How we moved the market
The Lexus IS app delivered an entirely new experience for retailers and customers both in showrooms and remotely around the world. In order to deliver a 3D augmented reality version of the car, the app downloaded and stored data locally and Apadmi balanced the need for high quality visual and audio files with application performance and UX.
It offered 360-degree augmented reality, enabling customers to rotate the view of the car in any direction, change the colour, wheels and add in optional extra interior and exterior features. Unlike the more traditional print brochures, content changes, such as prices or specifications, could also be updated automatically.

Hemp and CBD
Hemp-derived ingredients are found in products including food, beverages, dietary supplements and cosmetics.
The 2018 Farm Bill excluded hemp containing less than 0.3% THC from the definition of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act. This alleviates many of the DEA-related concerns regarding hemp-derived ingredients, but does not provide much clarity around the legality and regulation of products containing CBD. The federal prohibition on the sale of food or beverages containing CBD remains in effect, and state regulatory schemes vary widely.
CDA members support legislative efforts to streamline the CDL process to allow younger drivers to onboard to a full CDL license in a safe manner. Additionally, CDA supports efforts to revise the federal regulations impacting Hours of Service for local delivery drivers.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, is a food assistance program giving millions of low-income Americans access to food across all retail channels, including small format stores, including convenience stores. Convenience stores provide critical access to food for many SNAP beneficiaries who may live in “food deserts” with limited access to larger food retailers.
Reforms to the SNAP program have been proposed over the last several Congresses, with some legislators interested in limiting the types of food and the types of retailers who can accept SNAP benefits. SNAP is authorized through the Farm Bill, the legislative package considered every five years to fund hunger, nutrition and farm programs.

A Primer of English Etymology (Paperback)
In the present little book, I merely endeavor to draw out a general sketch of some of the more important principles which should be observed by all who pretend to have any acquaintance with English etymology." -Walter W. Skeat, in his Preface First published in 1910, this classic introduction to the linguistics of the English language is notable not only for its scholarly value but for a charming defensiveness of its own erudition ("The general ignorance of even the most elementary notions on the subject of etymology], as perpetually exhibited in our periodical literature, is truly deplorable," the author sniffs). Cambridge professor Skeat concisely explores the history of the English language and the sources from which it is derived, including the influences of military and religious invasions from the continent of Europe; the ancient Anglo-Saxon symbols and sounds the language utilizes; how English spelling came to be standardized; the historical mutation of vowel sounds; and prefixes, suffixes, and roots. British academic WALTER WILLIAM SKEAT (1835-1912) was Erlington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Cambridge. He also wrote (with A.L. Mayhew) A Concise Dictionary of Middle English: From A.D. 1150 To 1580.


Robin Hood. Lighthouse, Poole www.childrenstheatremagazine.co.uk
The panto season is here again. Oh yes it is! Excited children, noisy music and carefully sited merchantising.
The Lighthouse Poole does Christmas panto with gusto, with this year’s offering of Robin Hood a rich mix for children, parents and grandparents. It starts well with a loud clap-along musical introduction and energetic dancing from the adult chorus and the child dancers.
The evening is the familiar mix of simplified story, dancing, songs, silliness, slapstick, very old jokes and traditional comic episodes; they even managed to squeeze in a decorator’s slapstick scene.
This old reviewer had to remind herself that old jokes are still funny – and new to those who have not heard them before – as my young neighbour fell about laughing at the school scene that featured cross-dressing and much double entendre.
Ed Petrie carries the title role of Robin Hood with easy athletic charm, every inch the hero and he worked the audience beautifully. His hat was miraculously and mysteriously stuck to his head throughout energetic dancing. And his classic song in front of the curtains was a masterpiece of silliness.
Maid Marian was played by Alicia Woodhouse who was sweet and lovely as a traditional heroine, but with her obvious skills she should have been given more to do than looking pretty and vulnerable. Isn’t it time for more positive female role models than this outdated 70s caricature? (Script writer please take note.)
Fairy Mary appeared in a puff of smoke for a chat with the audience, and was far more lively than the maid of the forest – and was rather more decorative than one might expect.
The real star (as is often the case in panto) is the villain. Here it’s the Sheriff of Nottingham, played very ably by Patrick O’Kane, who worked the audience well from a standing start. Indeed the boys and girls in the audience were well primed to boo him in his elegant tights and boots. His solo song, “It’s all about me,” was edgy… and charming.
However the balance of the show weighted heavily towards colour and sweetness, with the charming villain in black was sadly outnumbered. He badly needed to have some henchmen or visible power to demonstrate that Robin and Marian were under a threat from which they could (or could not) escape.
The dancing improved through the evening as the dancers warmed up. Highlights included the magical toys – coming alive in a dream sequence, and the fairies dancing in the green wood.
The staging and scenery were fine, though underused. A bit more flying or movement around the theatre might have pepped up the magic. While the last beautiful set was rather wasted by the short amount of time one had to see it – the audience needed to pay attention for its brief appearance.
Oh Yes! It had all one may expect of panto. Oh No! There was nothing to scare the nervous. Oh Yes! The script was simple, with few contemporary references and stuck in the past.
Oh No! Things do not change in the Lighthouse’s panto land.
It seems a pity that with an audience consisting of many Brownies, there were no sparky girl role models for them to identify with, while the drama’s females were mostly decorative.
Oh Yes! the villain had the best lines.
Oh Yes! The children loved it. (But they deserved better.)
Alex Brenton 3 stars
The pantomime continues until Sunday 4th January. For details visit www.lighthousepoole.co.uk

Is there someone in your life you dread encountering: someone whose behaviour is beyond frustrating and actually harmful? This doesn’t necessarily refer to physical harm, although it can. I’m talking about a person who, after spending some time together, leaves you feeling angry or sad or both. This is a toxic relationship and it’s likely you, like most people, are part of many. Utilizing the following steps will allow you to curate a group of people who love and respect you. This will make you a stronger, happier person.
One of my best friends in high school, Joe*, was a lot of fun to hang around with. In high school. After I moved out of my parents’ house and started attending University, we continued hanging out. But Joe started taking a lot of liberties.
He assumed that because I had my own place and he did not, that he could show up unannounced and crash on my couch whenever he wanted. I had a job and he didn’t, so naturally, I was always on the hook for the bar tab whenever we went out. If we were staying in, I was responsible for supplying the alcohol. And the snacks. And apparently, in the case of one demand that thankfully never came to fruition, my bed. So he could hook up with a stranger at the bar we were at (don’t worry, he was kind enough to buy her a couple drinks…on my tab). This was one of the rare moments I put down my foot. Later that same night he spilt wing sauce on my carpet and negated to tell me. He left before I found out.
It’s easy to Joe is not a particularly great friend. It eventually got to the point where he would show up with an empty gas tank and I would have to give him gas money just to get him out of my apartment. I hated getting together with Joe, but I was afraid of losing a friend. After all, he was my fun buddy from high school!
The reality was, Joe had stopped being my friend a long time earlier. He became a taker, with no thought for me or my feelings. To him, I had become a couch and an open tab. But I’m to blame, too; to me, Joe was less a friend than a connection to my adolescence.
Relationships need to be more than mutually-beneficial in order to function properly. They also require mutual respect. Eventually, Joe and I were unable to resolve simple arguments because neither of us had respect for each other.
On the other hand, my wife and I have been able to weather some incredibly taxing situations because we support each other. I’m willing to go to any lengths for Dominique, because I know she appreciates my effort and would happily do the same for me.
At a certain point, I began keeping track of debits and credits in my friendship with Joe. In a healthy relationship, this shouldn’t be the case. You should be willing to help each other because you value each other as teammates instead of opponents.
Some relationships turn toxic due to a lack of communication. When I felt like Joe was beginning to take advantage of me or acting toward me in a way I didn’t like, I should have spoken to him about it. It’s much easier after the fact to identify the tipping point than it is during the situation. That’s why it’s important to step back periodically and assess your relationships.
Do your friends, loved ones, and coworkers know how you want to be treated? If a co-worker constantly passes work onto you, and you don’t voice dissatisfaction, he may assume you’re okay with it. Maybe he thinks he’s paying you a compliment by giving you projects he deems too difficult or important for himself. Wife asks you to put the kids to bed every night? She may think you’re faster at getting them to sleep and that way you’ll have more time to spend together.
You may think people should just know that certain behaviour is poor. But, if you haven’t voiced disapproval, how are others supposed to know? Some may even look at the previous examples and see them as completely understandable–they’ve done that before. Just like you hate mint chocolate chip ice cream or love Cardi B, it isn’t the case for everyone.
Try to put yourself on the other side: someone suddenly snaps at you for doing something you thought was completely acceptable. More than that–you thought the other person liked it! After all, how could you know otherwise? He never brought it up.
Be aware that when you begin communicating your expectations, you will likely be met with opposition. And understandably so. You’re doing more than asking them to change their behaviour–you’re telling them what they do is hurtful. Would you like to hear that? Imagine the emotions you would feel: anger about being criticized; sadness about having hurt someone; confusion about why they haven’t said anything until now. The longer a habit has been formed, the harder it is to change. Especially if you were the one who, indeliberately, helped reinforce it.
If you’re finally fed up with how people are treating you, you have three options:
- Ask others to change their behaviour and be patient while they adjust. Do this in cases in which you want to save the relationship (friends, significant others) or need to (coworkers, bosses).
- Dissolve the relationship, communicating the reason(s) why. This may be after you have made repeated attempts to verbalize your displeasure and the other party is unwilling or unable to change behaviour. Some relationships are better graduating into the best memories of those people–while you can still remember the good times.
- Ghost. In extreme situations, or if an individual isn’t worth the time or effort, block his number, delete him from your social media, and ignore any oeuvres he may make.
Whatever your decision, it’s time to begin…
Embracing Quality over Quantity
It’s likely you have close friends you never seem to have time for. And, depending on your schedule, that may really be true. But if you don’t have enough time for people you like, why spend any with people you don’t? Remember Joe? I begrudgingly spent time with him, at the expense of people whose company I enjoyed. People who liked me for me. While I was angrily picking up the bar tab for the sixth time in a row, I could have been enjoying a nice evening with a number of other friends.
This goes for family, too. If, after communicating your expectations, your loved ones choose not to change behaviours, begin limiting time spent together. Outside the most extreme of circumstances, I wouldn’t recommend ghosting on close family members. That doesn’t mean you can’t begin limiting their access to you. If you can’t do an entire weekend with a family member, try an evening. If even dinner seems too daunting, try lunch somewhere neutral. Explain that as she improves her behaviour toward you and your relationship improves, you can spend more time together. Put the ball in her court and make her accountable.
While you fix or ditch toxic relationships, you should spend more time with people you like. Or make some new friends, ensuring you properly communicate from the beginning. Flag behaviour in a good-natured and agreeable way. Phrases like, “I don’t like it when people…” as opposed to “You need to stop doing…” After all, these are your feelings–you need to take ownership over what you do and do not like.
Your time is valuable and you shouldn’t waste it on people who don’t respect you. The pain of losing a friend or significant other will be replaced quickly with much more powerful feelings of happiness and relief. Remember to be honest and open with behaviour you do and do not like. Someone unwilling to respect you is forfeiting access to you. Spend your time on people who care about you.
*Joe is an incredibly fake name.

In India, COVID-19 infection rates are rising exponentially and the health system is collapsing under the burden. Hospitals in urban centers are overcrowded and often turn people away. Supplies, including oxygen, are running low, and various strains of the virus more frequently require that patients be treated with oxygen. Families that already struggled to meet basic needs have become even more vulnerable to hunger and other challenges. Grief, anxiety, and depression are common across the population. With partial lockdown in place in many states and full lockdown in others, migrant guest workers are returning to their native villages. In addition to the economic impact of the loss of work, the influx into the villages may contribute to the spread of COVID-19 in rural areas. Week of Compassion is responding, supporting our partners as they work to meet the urgent needs of this new wave and prevent the further spread of disease; while also looking ahead to long-term needs and planning for the future.
Week of Compassion partners CASA (Church’s Auxiliary for Social Action) in India have long-established relationships throughout the region. In this critical moment, those existing connections and the trust earned over decades provide a foundation on which to build a comprehensive response.
Just this week, India has confirmed as many as 357,000 new infections in a single day--the highest single-day count for any country on any day since the pandemic began--with as many as 3,300 daily deaths. In total, the country has reported more than 17.6 million cases since the pandemic began last year. But health workers in India indicate that COVID-19 cases are significantly underreported, and that the real number of cases could be up to 30 times higher.
While the situation is urgent, our partners are approaching the response with both immediate and long range needs in mind. That means meeting critical needs right now--like food, hygiene supplies, and cash grants to help with medical or other expenses--while also focusing on building capacity for community-owned responses down the road. Communications are targeted to help local leadership understand the virus and adopt precautionary measures like frequent hand washing, social distancing, and wearing masks. When those efforts are localized, they are far more effective. “Even in the short term, we will take the long-term approach and make sure that the community-owned response is there,” says Joseph Sahyam, Additional Emergency Officer, Headquarters, of CASA. Once vaccines are widely available, strong local leadership will be especially crucial in sharing accurate information about vaccination processes and distribution.
So far, CASA’s distribution of informational materials and other support has reached around 63,000 families in 832 villages; an overall impact of around 2,700,000 people in around 6000 villages. That reach continues to grow as our partners ramp up efforts around food security and livelihood supports. Special emphasis is placed on supporting returning migrant workers and vulnerable populations including minorities, widows, the physically challenged, transgender people, single female-headed households, and children.
“The situation is getting worse,” says Sahaym, “we need to respond immediately. And the peak is yet to come. We pray that things don’t worsen.” Week of Compassion will continue to respond to the situation through our network of partners in places that are affected by COVID-19, including the current crisis in India.
Week of Compassion invites you to add your prayers to those of our partners as they work to meet urgent needs amid unthinkable challenges. With your help, efforts to curb the spread of disease while also providing relief to the most vulnerable will continue to have a significant impact on many lives.
To contribute to this life-saving response, designate your gift for “COVID-19 Relief” by mail, online, or by texting WoC to 41444.

Take That perform live in London’s Hyde Park for the first time this summer. The band headline British Summer Time festival on 9 July.
Take That play Hyde Park
Updated: 18 November 2015
Take That have been confirmed as the first act on the 2015 British Summer Time Hyde Park festival line-up, playing the Great Oak stage for the first time.
The legendary boy band will perform in London’s iconic Hyde Park for the first time on Monday 9 July 2016. Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald released their chart-topping, seventh album, III, in 2014.
Don’t miss Take That perform tracks from III, as well as all their earlier hits from throughout the years, when they take to the Great Oak stage this summer! As well as That Take, a number of bands will perform throughout the day ahead of Take That’s headline performance.
About Take That
Take That rose to fame in the early 90s with their debut album Take That & Party. The then five-piece consisted Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.
Everything Changes and Nobody Else followed, before Robbie Williams announced his departure from the band in 1995. Just a few months later, Take That announced that they had officially disbanded despite being the most popular boy band of the nineties.
Take That enjoyed phenomenal success in the nineties, and they kick-started the boy band craze, while also redefining the entire boy band genre. What made Take That special was the band’s knack to write great, catchy songs. Their singles - such as the Gary Barlow penned Back For Good, Never Forget and Pray- are up there with the big rock and pop classics.
Take That – Back For Good
It took Take That ten years to regroup. In 2005, Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange returned to their millions of fans around the globe, as a grown-up four-piece without Robbie Williams.
The band’s return was launched with Never Forget – The Ultimate Collection. A retrospective best-of collection before the release of Beautiful World the following year, Take That’s first studio album in 11 years.
Beautiful World and the accompanying The Ultimate Tour were outstanding successes and convinced Take That to continue. They did so with the even bigger The Circus album. The collection was followed by a sold-out tour in 2009.
Robbie Williams’ return to Take That
Ever since the reformation of Take That, fans and media speculated about the chances of Robbie Williams reuniting with his old band mates. The former Take That star had achieved remarkable success as a solo star after departing from the band in 1995.
Fans received the ultimate treat in 2010 when Take That released their first album in 15 years with Robbie Williams. Their album, Progress, was the biggest-selling album of 2010.
Demand was high to see the now fully reformed group, and this was met with the Progress Live tour. A monumental tour: Progress Live saw Take That perform sell-out nights in stadiums across the country.
Not only did they take on performing at the biggest stadiums in the county, but they enjoyed an eight-night residency at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium and London’s Wembley Stadium. Progress Live was the biggest UK tour and landed on Billboard’s Top 25 Tours list.
Take That – The three-piece
After their Progress Live tour, the group took some time out that saw Gary Barlow take up the role of judge on the X Factor, and Robbie Williams returned to his solo career.
During 2012, the band was honoured with the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution To British Music, and they went on to perform at the Olympics’ closing ceremony, this time without Robbie. Their final performance as a five-piece was during 2012 at the Music Industry Trust Award.
Take That started recording their seventh album in 2014. However, during September Jason Orange announced his departure from the band. The three-piece continued recording together and released their lead track, These Days, the following month. Take That’s seventh album was fittingly named III.
III became the group’s seventh top-charting album. Their success continued – and proved Take That, even as a three-piece, were still very much a firm favourite with fans – with a huge tour of the UK and Ireland. The tour included numerous residencies at the country’s biggest arenas. Once again, tickets sold out to see Take That live.

Actress Patricia Arquette expressed heartbreak and concern for Roseanne Barr’s health on Sunday after a Twitter user shared two recent videos of the actress incoherently discussing “Trump,” a “swissy pyramid” and “child slavery.”
“This is really heartbreaking and I hope she gets care,” the Oscar-winning actress wrote on Twitter.
This is really heartbreaking and I hope she gets care.
— Patricia Arquette (@PattyArquette) November 10, 2019
Many Twitter users expressed similar messages of concern for the actress who was fired from ABC and had her show canceled after she posted a racist tweet about former Obama staffer Valerie Jarrett in 2018.
Thank you, your comment gives me hope for the world. Her behavior has been deplorable, but she is ill and needs help and we can't lose sight of that.

Bux-Mont MSBL, 30+ Division
Homers for Hope Yankees 5, Deep Run Thunderhawks 4 (Game three in best-of-three championship series)
In a championship series for the ages, the Homers for Hope Yankees took on the Deep Run Thunderhawks in a best-of-three series that was a test of will and determination, which came down to the last out of the series to crown a champion.
In Game One, Deep Run jumped out to a 7-run lead early, and their offense on the day was led by home runs from Rich Delgato and Brian Van Vreede. Homers for Hope battled back on the base paths with seven stolen bases and timely hitting. Yankees starting pitcher, Dan Fox, added a home run in the fourth, and the Deep Run lead was cut down in the seventh inning thanks to a 3-run home run by Lee Middleberg. But it was not enough to hold off the league-leading offense of Deep Run, who won 10-7, and saw Thunderhawks pitcher Kevin Smith pick up the win.
Game Two was a back-and-forth battle out of the gate. With Homers for Hope facing a potential sweep, they jumped out to an early lead thanks to a 2-run single in the first inning from starting pitcher Kevin Vuernick, and a steal of home by Derrick Morgan in the second. But the potent Deep Run offense came alive in the third with a 3-run home run from Brian Van Vreede to give them a 4-3 lead.
The Yankees battled back in the top of the fifth, which saw Ryan Goodman double to knock in the tying run, steal third, and then score the go-ahead run on a sac fly from Lee Middleberg. Vuernick would then shut the door over the remaining three innings, earning the complete game win in which he allowed six hits and 0 earned runs.
Andrew Taylor took the loss for Deep Run, throwing seven complete innings, including 9 K’s and two walks. The Yankees 5-4 win sent the series to a decisive Game three to be played just two days later.
In the deciding Game Three, both teams were depleted of pitching, and Deep Run rolled out Game One winning pitcher Kevin Smith, while Homers for Hope would counter with Derrick Morgan, who had thrown only three innings all season, to face the potent Thunderhawk bats.
The Yankees jumped out to an early lead after Joe “Reds” Tierney stole home in the second inning. The third inning started off with Ryan Goodman walking, then stealing second and third, and scoring on a Lee Middleberg sac fly. The scoring continued with Kevin Vuernick doubling in Tom Crilley, then giving Homers a 5-1 lead.
Game two pitcher for Deep Run, Andrew Taylor would come in to pitch, giving up only one hit and racking up 8 K’s in the final three innings, quieting the Yankees offense. Morgan kept the Thunderhawk hitters off-balance, scattering five hits over four innings, and giving up three runs, two earned, with one K and no walks.
Lee Middleberg would come in to pitch the final three frames for the Yankees, giving up only one hit, and one unearned run, with 4 K’s, including strikeouts of the final two batters in the seventh inning, stranding the game-tying and winning runs in scoring position to secure the 5-4 championship win! Morgan earned the win, and Middleberg the save.
This championship represents a bit more to the Yankees, who are part of the Homers for Hope charity organization, which uses baseball and softball events to raise funds in support of local families who have suffered a tragedy. This season, every player on the Homers for Hope Yankees used their love of the game to raise money to pay the bills for the Gonzalez family, whose son Nate is battling a brain tumor.
As fate would have it, Nate rang the bell to signify the completion of his most recent treatment just two days after the Homers for Hope Yankees won their championship, literally turning their homers into hope.

CORNWALL, Ont. – Mediation talks on Friday, June 9th, are seen as the last chance to avoid a strike by 125 Cornwall municipal workers, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE).
“We will do our best in mediation talks to avert a strike, because that’s the last thing our members want,” said Bob Manny, CUPE national representative. “But with management tabling concession demands, we need to be ready to strike to defend our collective agreement.” CUPE 3251 members will be in a legal strike position at 12:01 am, June 17th. A strike would affect water treatment, sewers, social services, social assistance, Ontario Works, building inspections, clerical and office services, by-law enforcement, childcare, pools and the aquatic centre, engineering and city construction projects, and other city services.
“There’s no reason for management to continue demanding concessions and push us into a strike,” said Manny. “The City is sitting on a 1.5 million dollar surplus and the province has announced they will pay 50% of paramedic and emergency services, saving taxpayers 16% of those costs. If concessions don’t come off the table, management will be responsible for disrupting essential services, including water treatment and welfare cheques – our community can’t take it.” City management earlier filed a ‘no-board’ report with the ministry of labour, starting the countdown to a legal strike or lockout deadline of June 17th.
“Our paramedics are also facing the possibility of a walkout,” said Manny. “City management decided to start the countdown to a strike without agreeing to an essential services designation for paramedics, threatening the health and well-being of residents.”
“The mayor and council need to get the message that Cornwall residents don’t want a disruption and that elected officials have a responsibility to settle this contract fairly,” said Manny. “Council can’t let city management continue their tactics of backing workers into a corner – they need to come to the bargaining table in mediation talks tomorrow and settle this to protect the services Cornwall residents rely on.”

Despite the attention being paid to claims that Iran has enough uranium to hypothetically build a nuclear weapon, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says that Iran is “not there yet” as far as the capability of making weapons is concerned.
Iran has enriched 1,010 kilograms of uranium hexaflouride to the low levels needed for the Bushehr nuclear power plant which is approaching operation. Some say this would be sufficient to make a weapon, however the IAEA has continued to verify that none of it has been diverted to any other use.

Just a warning. If you buy this tea, keep the lid on and keep it well sealed because lifting just even one little corner of this tea sends a hugely overwhelming cinnamon scent out into the world. Not just cinnamon, but spicy cinnamon!
The smell almost reminded me of hot balls you can buy at the store for a nickel. I loved the scent, and I even used this tea as a potpourri once when we had a musty odor in the house and a friend was coming over. Be warned, it is strong.
Harney & Sons describes this tea as:
Our most popular flavored tea, this is a blend of Black Teas, three types of cinnamon, orange peel, and sweet cloves. It is remarkably assertive, and that is its most admired quality. This tea is also known as Hot Cinnamon Sunset.
This tea is also fun to look at. The rich darkness of the tea leaves is offset with large pieces of light brown bark, which I assume is the cinnamon. There is no tea flakes or powder in this one and the tea is so big you can reach in with your hand and just grab the amount of what you need to make a cup.
The taste of the tea is just as it smells, spicy cinnamon. There is a naturally sweet taste as well, which probably comes from the cloves. Harney & Sons says it is their most popular tea and I can really see why. It was delicious, and one that I keep returning to cup after cup.
I think what really attracts me is the unique taste. Not many teas taste like candy hot balls and it really puts a little spring in your step. It’s also great after dinner where the natural sweetness can satisfy a sweet tooth. Cinnamon is also quite beneficial to your health. On Wikipedia I found this fact about drinking cinnamon tea:
It is reported that regularly drinking of Cinnamomum zeylanicum tea made from the bark could be beneficial to oxidative stress related illness in humans, as the plant part contains significant antioxidant potential.

I'm not the type to say "I told you so" or "I was right!". Sometimes I think it and someone can read it on my face, but I just can't say the words.
But since you can't see my face, I have to tell you: I was right! About a year ago I posted about a new radio station that started up in my area and said I was in love with it.
The comments left were along the lines of "don't get your hopes up, they all start out good then go downhill from there."
I am happy to say that The Sound LA has gone above and BEYOND my expectations! They play the perfect mix of both old and new music. They play deep tracks that the other popular stations around here would not touch. They have very little advertising and the DJs are not annoying or arrogant, they talk about The Music.
They have several weekly features that I look forward to (makes my dat at work survivable). For example, right not I am listening to "Ten at 10:00". Each day they play ten songs from the same year, today's year is the year that The Beatles had their last studio session: 1970
They also have host live events in their studio, an artist will come in every now and then and do a mini-concert on the air (yesterday was the Bacon Brothers).
One other feature that I love is "My Turn" where they invite musicians to be a DJ for an hour or so and play whatever they want. Its sometimes suprising and always interesting to hear what songs are selected. Some of the guests they've had on are BB King, Noel Gallager, Tom Morello, The Pretenders, Brian Wilson, Gavin Rossdale and O.A.R.
Anyhow, just wanted to tell you all about it in case you feel like checking them out online. Classic Rock rocks, but you know the saying: Man can not live on bread alone? Well I can't live on classic rock alone - I dig the new stuff too :)
(as I end this post they are playing a song by Drew's favorite band...."The Immigrant Song")

As NYC moves towards Phase II reopening, it is important that eating and drinking establishments familiarize themselves with the guidelines.
As New York City moves towards Phase II reopening (an exact opening date for outdoor dining has not yet been confirmed but is expected sometime between June 22nd and early July.

To be proactive and ready, please see below the guides for restaurants to understand what the new requirements are in phase II.
Business owners expecting to operate outdoor dining once NYC enters Phase II must file a business affirmation form with the state. This also applies to businesses doing takeout and delivery only in Phase II.
The NYC Department of Health has also prepared the following information for businesses, which will continue to be updated:
