More Labor Day Picks
Florence, a small city in northern Kentucky, is a growing community of approximately 28,000 residents. The city offers convenient transportation to nearby cities and towns by way of several local highways. Nearby cities and towns offer Florence residents festival options which allow them to celebrate Labor Day together. These festivals provide families and people of all ages with a variety of options for marking the Labor Day weekend as part of a community celebration.
Labor Day occurs on first Monday in September and marks the end of summer. It was established by Peter McGuire in honor of workers who were protesting unfair working conditions in the late 1800s. Many stores and businesses are closed on this holiday, but a number of festivals and events keep Torontonians busy and entertained.

“Red onion skins and New Year’s Eve have much in common –-
they both peel away to reveal new vibrancy.”
2016 is here and I’m ready for bigger and better things. “Wait,” you say. Where have you been Kenny? There’ve been no blogs for many, many months.” Well. I’ve made several career changes this year, directed an outstanding production of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and fought tomato blight. OK, we’re all caught up.
To begin again, 2016 is here and I’m ready for bigger and better things. To do this, I’ll need to make some huge changes in who I AM — who I’ve become or as my guru, the Beatle, George Harrison puts it, I’m in need of “regrooving.”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
At the opening of each New Year, we stand on the threshold to view the vista of a new beginning. We see more clearly the possibilities that lie ahead of us – so many unexplored opportunities, so many paths. Do we take the road less traveled, or trod the familiar path? The choice is ours. We are not shackled to the choices of the past. We can, at any moment, let go of self-limiting thoughts, actions, and tendencies – the things that stifle the soul and hold us back from achieving our greatness.
“Awaken your habit-dulled spirit
to zestful new effort.
Rest not till th’ eternal freedom is won!”
Seize this opportunity – this new beginning — and feel renewed, refreshed, and start anew. Begin by accepting the challenges each day, week and month bring. Awaken your passion and grit to accomplish what you know is right and good and true. Take up something you think cannot do and then do it. Seeing the power of your tenacity will give you self-assurance and lend momentum to your will. By doing this you will unleash the unlimited strength within you.
I intend to be more faithful in my blogging this year and share my journey with you. Thank you for reading this and for sharing the trip with me.
I pray that you are blessed in this year and that you may bring to fruition your dreams and aspirations.

text: There is an urgent need for better drugs for a more successful fight against leishmaniasis, one of the most important neglected diseases caused by the parasite Leishmania. We have recently synthesized several symmetrical pyridinium compounds belonging to two different series: bis-pyridinium and bis-quinolinium acyclic structures and bis-pyridinium diazacyclophanes derivatives. The first series of bis-pyridinium derivatives have been found to display activity against promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania donovani and Leishmania major, with EC50 values lower than 1 μM. The majority of compounds show a similar behavior in both Leishmania species, being slightly more active against intracellular amastigotes of L. major. The series of bis-pyridinium diazacyclophanes can be considered as rigid analogues of the previous bis-cationic ones. The activity of these compounds has also been evaluated against promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes of L. donovani and L. major. All the diazacyclophanes are more active against L. major, with EC50 values of between 1 and 17 μM in intracellular amastigotes, and in some cases they present a higher selectivity index than the reference anti-leishmanial drugs such as amphotericin B and miltefosine. In conclusion, these bis-quaternary compounds represent promising candidates as potential therapeutic agents against leishmaniasis.

Getting Ready for the Holidays
Everyone is professional and nice.
November 14, 2016
Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The doctors always provide choices for care so I can do what’s best for my pet and my family. I feel like they care.
August 3, 2016
The entire staff is great at Falls Road. The office is always clean and odor free which I feel is not the norm at most vet offices. Our dog receives wonderful care and enjoys going to the vet!
October 7, 2016
Dr. Ainsworth and her team of technicians take wonderful care of our three year old black pug. Charlie. As soon as he sees a movement toward my car, he drags me through the garage and does not stop his happy little howl until we reach the hospital.
Everyone at Falls Road Veterinary Hospital is terrific (staff at the desk, technicians and veterinarians)! Special thanks to Dr.Ainsworth – always fantastic! Companion animals are treated like family members at Falls Road – I highly recommend them!
We are new clients, having followed Dr. Lowenthal to continue receiving her excellent care. Everyone was welcoming and knowledgable. We are looking forward to being happy and healthy at Falls Road Veterinary Hospital for many years to come!
We were really happy with the attention that our dog received and the communication/photos we received. Our pup is not used to being boarded and it was initially stressful for us but the awesome staff helped to make it a very positive experience.
Dr Ainsworth is amazing. 5 stars are not enough. Sue Anne and her staff are kind and caring and very sensitive to pet owners. The tech staff show how much they love animals in how they care for our pets! A million thanks!

State government should allow allow local communities to do “what they think is best,” the governor said. (AP)
EARLIER STORY: Ohio lawmakers, grocers and business groups are looking to block local governments from regulating the use of plastic grocery bags and other carryout containers.
Senate Bill 222 and House Bill 242 each would pre-empt local regulations such as fees or bans on the containers.
The fight over the bills pits business groups against environmental advocates and local government organizations. The bills are backed by the Ohio Grocers Association, Ohio Chamber of Commerce, NFIB Ohio and others. Opponents include the Sierra Club - Ohio, Ohio Township Association, and Ohio Municipal League.
Local bans on many single-use plastic bags are scheduled to take effect in January in Cuyahoga County and the city of Bexley.
Proponents of the bills say they want to head off a patchwork of local regulations that chain stores and other businesses would have to follow. They also argue that bans or fees would drive up their business costs.
Opponents argue that the bills usurp local Home Rule authority and tie the hands of local efforts to address the plastic pollution problem.
Senate Bill 222 is sponsored by state Sen. Michael Rulli, R-Salem, who is chief of operations for Rulli Brothers Markets. House Bill 242, which cleared a committee vote in June and is awaiting a floor vote, is sponsored by state Reps. George Lang, R-West Chester and Don Jones, R-Freeport.
Related: Ohio House passes bill blocking cities from imposing plastic bag fees
A similar bill cleared the Ohio House in November 2018 but did not receive approval from the Senate.
Eight state have statewide bans on single-use plastic bags and several large cities such as Boston, New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. have imposed bans or fees, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Meanwhile 14 states have enacted pre-emption laws, similar to what Ohio is considering, NCSL reported earlier this month.
The American Legislative Exchange Council proposed a model plastic bag ban pre-emption policy in 2015. ALEC is an organization of conservative state legislators and corporate interests.
Cincinnati-based Kroger announced in 2018 its plans to phase out single-use plastic bags in its stores by 2025.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Starlink, a constellation-based satellite Internet service provider, has started its pre-booking in India. Currently, it is in the beta testing phase, expected to launch its operations in India by the next year, although the company has not declared the date yet.
Just like existing providers of satellite internet like HughesNet or ViaSat, Starlink wants to sell internet access all over the world.
Starlink is Elon Musk’s ambitious superfast venture, which is operated by SpaceX (an Aerospace company owned by Elon Musk). As per Musk, the Starlink project will cover “most of the Earth” by the end of 2021.
It is a low latency, high-speed broadband internet system provided by interconnected satellites to meet the needs of consumers across the globe.
The Starlink satellites beam down the internet to Earth from positions that are more than 60 times closer than traditional satellites, leading to a low latency period, the company says. And now, this high-speed Internet venture is stepping into India.
How much does it Cost?
In India, you have to pay a deposit of US $99, which is Approx. INR Rs. 7,240. To pre-book your Starlink Broadband. Orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-serve basis, and the amount paid is refundable, which gives customers a chance to step-back their decision in the future stage.
As per the sources, most major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and others seem to be covered. But to know the exact coverage details and to know whether your address is covered or not, you can search it over Starlink’s website by entering your postal address to see if you can pre-book now or not.
If you are eligible, you have to fill in your basic service details and book your slot online. All the debit and credit card payment options are available at the portal for payment solution.
Where does it begin?
The development of that network began in 2015. Two prototype test fight satellites were launched in February 2018 as a part of the SpaceX project (Technically, Starlink is a division within SpaceX).
Since then, “SpaceX has deployed over 1,000 Starlink satellites into orbit across more than 20 successful launches. In January, for its first Starlink mission of 2021, SpaceX launched 60 satellites into orbit from Kennedy Space Center using the landable, relaunchable Falcon 9 orbital rocket. After that, four more launches in February brought the total number of satellites launched up above 1,300″.
Currently, Starlink is providing its services in Northwest US, the adjacent part of Canada, and some parts of the UK and serving more than 10,000 customers with an internet speed ranging between 50 Mbps and 150 Mbps, with latency between 20 ms to 40 ms. As per the company.
As per the report, users in the US, Canada, and the UK get a Starlink kit for US $499, which includes everything you need to get online, including your Starlink, WiFi router, power supply, cables, and mounting tripod as per the Starlink Website.
The speed would be doubled to reach 300 Mbps, with the latency being reduced to 20 ms by the end of 2021. The ultimate goal of Starlink is to have a 12,000-satellite network that would provide a speed of 1 Gbps in the future.
The company’s vision is not only delivering high-speed internet to urban areas but also in rural and remote areas where current broadband services usually fail to reach.

I paid a first visit to Utah this week to exhibit for my gig at the Southwest Liturgical Conference Study Week.
On Thursday, I visited Temple Square, the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I also attended a beautiful Mass at the Cathedral of the Madeleine, the seat of the Catholic bishop of Salt Lake City.
But, for much of the week, I was trying to keep up with the news of the anti-government protests in the cities of Egypt. Sometimes events like this can be pivot points for world history.
Prayers were going up too, of course -- prayers that good, non-violent, democratic leaders will emerge and bring Egypt through a peaceful transition to real democracy and freedom.
Amos Niven Wilder (1895-1993), a New Testament scholar and the brother of Thornton Wilder, once penned a poem saluting the brave among us who risk for a greater good. I hope it's not mawkish to post it here in honor of the Egyptian people:
To those who offer themselves willingly in the day of decision,
In the great arbitrament,
Who are prompt at the gate,
And who present themselves foremost at the fords of Megiddo,
And take their stations at the narrow issues:
Theirs are the great jeopardies, the necessary role,
the memorable name,
Their encounter is with the heart of darkness.
For some the searchings of heart, the scruple, the fastidious witness,
For others the fateful evasion, the abiding reproaches,
For many the frivolous and the usual occasions.
But these on the crumbling levees match themselves with the infuriate flood.
These beneath the waves toil at the primeval sea-walls
Whose courses were laid against chaos.
These repair the moles erected of old against the ravining deep.
These descend where the nethermost piers of history are building,
And place their lives if need be at the foundation of all the ages of glory to come.
From "The Healing of the Waters" published in 1943 by HarperCollins Publishers. The paragraph breaks are mine.

NGA releases FMI RFI
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), in support of the NGA Analysis Office, is seeking information relevant to develop analytic products and services that contribute to NGA’s body of Foundational Military Intelligence (FMI). Responses to this request for information are due by 1:00 p.m. Central on December 17.
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to probe industry to identify interested sources and to gain information on practices and capabilities that could increase efficiencies for NGA’s FMI requirements.
The objective of this RFI is to identify existing techniques and to build upon previous efforts to explore the diversification of our production of structured data and analytic products. While we have in the past utilized contract analytic expertise on site, this acquisition intends to scale our efforts to include offsite resources and improve the delivery of analytic products to our analysts. This initiative intends to improve our ability to acquire foundational data from search efforts, structured data from monitoring efforts, and analytic products in a dynamic, scalable manner, delivered to our analysts and analytic managers as a service.

Home News Homelessness in New York City Homelessness in New York City Posted on June 27, 2018 by Jacquelyn Simone Walk through almost any New York neighborhood, and it seems as if there are more people sleeping in cardboard boxes and sleeping bags than ever. According to the Coalition for the Homeless, more than 63,000 men, women and children used the city shelters last year – an all-time high. Why has the homeless population mushroomed, and in a city where property values and rents are so high, and are steadily rising, can the homeless problem ever be solved? Our guest is Giselle Routhier, policy director at the Coalition for the Homeless. She says New York needs to embrace bolder solutions to address this problem.

Three 15-year-old boys charged with stealing five luxury cars, iPads and mobile phones in a series of violent home invasions across Melbourne
- Three teenage boys were arrested over a series of robberies in Melbourne
- Home invasions took place in exclusive suburbs where luxury goods were taken
- Five expensive cars were stolen and only two have since been recovered
- Police could not confirm if the robberies were linked to the notorious Apex gang
Three teenage boys have been arrested after a string of home invasions targeted several affluent Melbourne suburbs.
The 15-year-old boys are believed to have stolen five luxury cars, iPads and mobile phones during the robberies.
A number of homes across Maribyrnong, Airport West, Truganina and Hillside in north west Melbourne on Sunday were entered between 2.45am and 5.25am on Sunday night.
The three 15-year-old boys allegedly broke into homes and took iPads, mobile phones and five luxury cars
A Frankston boy, Wyndham boy and a Footscray West boy received 82 charges between them including aggravated burglary, attempted burglary, home invasion, assault and theft of motor vehicle.
The trio were remanded and will face a children’s court at a later date. Police believe there were a number of other offenders involved in the robberies.
The thieves stole a black Porsche Cayenne, a black VW Golf, a Subaru Outback, a black Audi Q7 and a grey Audi Q7, police say.
Two of the missing Audis have since been recovered but the other three vehicles remain missing.
One of the victims also sustained minor injuries to their upper body during the attacks.
The arrests were made after a similar incident where a young Melbourne father was attacked by a machete-wielding thug who allegedly broke into his apartment and stole his Audi A4.
The robberies targeted a number of affluent Melbourne suburbs, including Hillside (pictured)
Investigations into this matter are still being conducted by police, and the victims are believed to have moved into 'hiding' in Melbourne's suburbs following the attack.
Daily Mail Australia contacted Victoria Police about a possible link between the robberies and the notorious Apex gang - however they were unable to confirm any connection.
Apex is known for its association with violent car jacking and robberies around the Melbourne area.
The number of criminal offences recorded in Victoria has spiked - with 552,005 crimes reported in 2016, up by more than 10 per cent.
Theft was the number one modus operandi for criminals in Victoria, with almost half of the offenders aged between 20 and 34, the Crime Statistics Agency finds.
‘The increase in thefts are driven by increases in motor vehicle theft and thefts from motor vehicles, with these offences making up nearly half of all theft offences,' said Chief Statistician Fiona Dowsley.

In wake of Akali Dal, perhaps the only minority community related political outfit still in alliance with NDA/BJP/RSS, remaining silent on an issue that threatens to destroy our nations’ delicate Phulkaric weave, I am returning the Parman Patra conferred by the Punjab Government upon me in 2011.
It is my two pence but hopefully a meaningful droplet as an expression of my solidarity with the families directly or indirectly affected by these crimes against humanity and the rights of people to practice their chosen faith with dignity and respect.
We the protagonists from the fields of music, arts, literature, sciences, and so on are the expressionists and I feel it is time to express our anguish at this horrible state of affairs that plagues our nation –this society.
Open letter to Punjab Administration by Bhai Baldeep Singh
Shri Sarvesh Kaushal
Chief Secretary, Punjab
Monday, October 12, 2015
Subject: The Return of the Parman Patra Award
In the wake of the lack of appropriate response to warn off those who have been perpetrating crimes against humanity aimed at Christianity, Islam as well as the gory murder of several among India’s leading rationalists, I have decided to return my Parman Patra (2011) conferred upon me by the Honourable Chief Minister of Punjab, Sardar Parkash Singh Badal, for contribution to Classical music and Gurbani Sangeet.
On September 30, I had already issued the following videoed response urging the nation’s intelligentsia from all religious and social backgrounds or denominations to come forward and raise their voice:
Along with, the following caption was posted:
—”On September 30, 2015, in broad daylight, Mohammad Akhlaq was brutally murdered and his son critically injured by a mob just because it was rumoured that cow-meat was to be cooked at his humble residence. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends!
—In 1947, we were ridiculous enough to senselessly partition our country but we forgot to be wise while celebrating our stupidity. It is time to make amends. Then, we had divided our armed forces, military paraphernalia, universities and books, cities and people, and attempted to monopolise religious and cultural beliefs. I think it is now time to proportionately split our cattle —pigs, cows, buffalos, chicken, hen, birds, cats, mosquitoes, flies, other domestic animals and even wild life. Let there be Hindoo cows that can be worshipped; let us have Sikh, Muslim, Jew, Tribal and Christian cows that can be slaughtered, cooked and eaten; let us have pigs that can be eaten as well as pigs that are ordained with a certain religious pardon!
—Sikhs have made supreme sacrifices generation after generation to save the Tilak, Janeo, Jhatka and so on. And now, if it comes to that Sikhs will raise their voice and even sacrifice, if it comes to that, to save the right offer Namaz; to practice the gift of Islam; even to eat beef; to go to Church; and so on. I know that elders from across communities will raise their voices of concern in urging caution to the current regime.
—We need to refrain from politicising religion, ecology and any of our natural resources!” (End quote).
As Shiromani Akali Dal claims to be the sole representative of Sikh political thought, aspirations and the bearer of Sikh voice – which constitutionally is counted as a minority one – I would have expected the SAD to raise its voice and concern in the wake of the current situation in the country. It is time we stand up to tell – loud and clear – that this nation is not any one community’s personal akhada or ring —that this nation is a consortium of almost all of world’s major religions and sects, from a religious perspective; the idea of this nation is nothing short of a joint venture and that we, the people of this country will not allow this idea or this nations core values, even identity, to be hijacked by anyone.
When will the Shiromani Akali Dal wake up? When the Sikhs will be targeted yet again? I want to tell the Chief Minister of Punjab as well the President of Shiromani Akali Dal, who happens to be the Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab as well, that we the Sikhs have made supreme sacrifices to save the religious and social rights of the majority community of this country – the Tilak, Janeoo, Jhatkaa, the right to offer Pooja, and so on. It is now time to help protect the religious and social rights of the minority communities of this country! This could actually mean SAD sacrificing its grip on power but then so be it. What is more valuable – to rule over a debt ridden state for a few terms and then be forgotten or rule over the hearts and minds of the people of this world and to be remembered for times to come?
As the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has not taken a clear stand against the crimes perpetrated against the minority communities that would have been worthy of the history of Punjab – but in particular that of the Sikh nation – that the SAD claims to represent, I am left with no other choice but to politely return the Parman Patra award it had conferred upon me a few years ago. The reason I have decided to return the Parman Patra – Certificate of Merit – is because the current Punjab Government is actually an Akali Dal – BJP regime, that is, both are NDA affiliates that also governs the central government. I am urging likeminded recipients of State and national awards where the NDA partners are in governance, to humbly return their awards in solidarity. States build the nation – the people who accept and celebrate diversity are the ones who sustain it. Right now we need to save our nation – this is a matter of internal security and we all need to show up and be counted!
Please note that in spite of the illegal, unlawful and forcible occupation of Anad Conservatory premises inside Qila Sarai at Sulranpur Lodhi, and such callous attitude from the government, I did not think of returning the state honours. That is an intra-Punjab and even perhaps personal a matter and I know how to deal with. I will not allow disgraceful people either from civil or police administration or from the political field to sabotage Punjab’s attempts to regain its lost socio-cultural, artistic and political glory. But the Akali Dal silence on a matter that threatens the very fabric of our nation is deafening and this is non-negotiable. I demand that Akali Dal severe its ties with BJP and RSS immediately or issue a strong statement censuring the anti-minority rights fanatics as well as the political fronts such as RSS, Shiv Sena and BJP for quietly endorsing such dastardly incidents.
My work as a custodian and bearer of Punjab’s cultural traditions continues unabated!

Our pick of the best autumn breaks for brushing up on your creative skills.
1. Sketching in Norway
Autumn landscapes and the chance to see the Northern Lights offer plenty of artistic inspiration on an itinerary with painting specialist Art Safari. Based on a waterfront farmstead on Kvaloya island, in northern Norway, guests are accompanied by tutor Karen Pearson, who supervises sketching walks and excursions, with a visit to the Arctic-Alpine Botanical Garden in Tromso, a 50-minute drive away, and a cable car ride up Mount Storsteinen for sweeping views of fjords, islands and mountain ranges.
Autumn Aurora from £1,165 for five nights including most meals and transfers. Excludes flights. September 26 2019. Art Safari (artsafari.co.uk).

Power line to Japanese nuclear plant completed
Friday, March 18, 2011
A power line to the Japan was completed Thursday, which will allow cooling systems at one of the facility's reactors.in
The new line, roughly one kilometer (0.6 miles) in length, connects the power grid to the power plant's second reactor. It was completed at about 1730 local time (0830 UTC) on Thursday, and will be energized once spraying of seawater over reactor three is complete.
According to aspokesperson, once the power line is energized "we will be able to activate various electric pumps and pour water into reactors and pools for spent nuclear fuel," thus cooling temperatures within the reactor.

Pregabalin is classified as a controlled substance in many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. This is because the drug has a potential for abuse and dependence, particularly when taken in high doses or used in combination with other drugs.
Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant medication that is used to treat conditions such as neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and anxiety disorders. However, because it can produce feelings of euphoria and relaxation, some individuals may misuse the drug for recreational purposes.
To prevent misuse and addiction, many countries have placed restrictions on the prescribing and dispensing of pregabalin. For example, in the United States, pregabalin is classified as a Schedule V controlled substance, which means it has a lower potential for abuse and dependence than drugs like opioids or benzodiazepines, but still requires a prescription from a healthcare provider.
Overall, pregabalin is classified as a controlled substance to regulate its production, distribution, and use, and to prevent abuse and addiction. If you have a history of substance abuse or addiction, it’s important to discuss this with your healthcare provider before taking pregabalin to determine if it is an appropriate treatment option for you.

We have a new colleague. He comes from another region (same country: Germany) and is rather outgoing: He talks a lot (sometimes too much), is generally very friendly and is rather cheerful. He moved here, which means he has (to my knowledge), no social contacts here besides us.
The problem is: Everyone is annoyed by him. Whenever somebody talks about their weekend plans he immediately (and clumsily) asks if he can tag along, even though we have only known him for such a short time (few months). He does this so often, that people are more careful now when they say what they are doing in their free time. It is also painful to see all the rejections he gets (because he is asking so often) and the awkwardness that ensues.
I like him, but I do not want to hang out with him all the time. We did something once and it was fine. But I get why people are annoyed. I considered taking him aside and hinting at him that people do not enjoy being pressured into activities with him. People around here are just a bit more.. mellow, I guess? He is just so damn cheerful and enthusiastic that he annoys people. It surely is a hard situation for him, coming from a different region and settling into a group of people who know each other reasonably well and who also do stuff together in their free time. He seriously needs to step on the brakes, though.
For reference: We are all mid-20s or early 30s and work in a very small (<20 people) place. Most of us have nothing to do with him at work (most of us work independently) and social interaction is mostly during breaks, which we all have together.
How do I approach him about his aggressive friend-seeking behavior? I would probably say something like
Listen, Joe. You know that I get along with you quite well. But between us, I've heard colleagues complain about you asking about taking part in their activities all the time. In your region, people might be more outgoing, but around here people need some time to get acquainted. Maybe you should try to let things evolve more naturally.
I really do not want this to backfire in any way. From all the people here, I probably have the best position to tell him, as we talked the most. If I screw this up, I might hurt his feelings. I really just want him to be part of our group.
Before he joined us, we sometimes organized small team events (bowling etc), maybe doing that will help people get to know him better? But he might also take this as another opportunity to (unknowingly) annoy people even more.
I will probably do stuff with him in the future, but I don't want to be the only guy in the office he can hang around with. If he just were a little less intrusive, everybody would get along better.

At a campaign rally in Ottumwa, Iowa, FMR Vice President Joe Biden promised to “cure cancer” if he is elected United States president in 2020.
During his speech, Biden highlighted the difficulty families face with the “loss” of a family member to cancer and that it was difficult for those who haven’t seen family members suffer to relate. Biden was likely referencing the death of his son Beau Biden who succumbed to brain cancer in 2015.
Biden went on to declare: “That’s why I’ve worked so hard in my career to make sure that… I promise you if I’m elected president, you’re going to see the single most important thing that changes America, we’re gonna cure cancer,”
Biden was the head of the “Cancer Moonshot” program under the Obama administration which sought to renew efforts to cure cancer. After leaving office, he also started the Biden Cancer Initiative.
Biden is a Democrat frontrunner in the upcoming US federal election and a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, having referred to the president as an “existential threat” to the United States.

Research published in Science today reveals that the first individuals settling on new land are more successful at passing on their genes than those who did not migrate.
According to Dr. Damian Labuda at the University of Montréal and Sainte-Justine Hospital, the study suggests that population expansion creates opportunities for natural selection to act. The findings come from the utilization of a unique research infrastructure, the BALSAC population database which allows the reconstruction of the structure of the Quebec population over four centuries.
In this research the descending lineages of all couples married in the Charlevoix-Saguenay Lac St-Jean region between 1686 and 1960 were analyzed. This genealogy comprises more than 1 million individuals.
Dr. Laurent Excoffier, University of Berne and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Dr. Damian Labuda, and Dr. Hélène Vézina, Projet BALSAC, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, who led the study, together with research associates Claudia Moreau, Michèle Jomphe and Ph.D. student Claude Bhérer, investigated the demographic history of this region to investigate the effects of rapid territorial and demographic expansion on the dynamics of colonization and human evolution.
“We find that families who are at the forefront of a range expansion into new territories had greater reproductive success. In other words, that they had more children, and more children who also had children,” Labuda explained. “As a result, these families made a higher genetic contribution to the contemporary population than those who remained behind in what we call the range core, as opposed to the wave front.
The research confirms in humans a phenomenon that has already been observed in other species with much shorter generation spans. “We knew that the migration of species into new areas promoted the spread of rare mutations through a phenomenon known as ‘gene surfing’, but now we find that selection at the wave front could make this surfing much more efficient,” Excoffier said. This evolutionary mechanism in combination with founder effects and social or cultural transmission of reproductive behavior could explain why some genetic diseases are found at an elevated frequency in the Charlevoix and Saguenay Lac Saint-Jean regions where the study was carried out, as rare mutations can also surf during a range expansion.
The researchers also note that, although their study concerns a whole human population spread over several centuries, it only represents a short period of human evolution at a limited geographical scale. It thus appears difficult to directly generalize these results obtained in a farmer population to what happened during other range expansions, especially considering the differences between the ecological demography of hunter-gatherer and farmer communities. But given the highly successful history of the human colonization of our planet, it appears very likely that a considerable fraction of our ancestors have lived on the edge of expansion waves. Consequently, several human traits favoring dispersal and reproduction could have evolved during phases of range expansions rather than resulting from selection in constant environments.
“This was a very productive sabbatical stay of Laurent Excoffier in Montreal, putting all our teams together, and indeed a very encouraging beginning setting stage for subsequent collaborative studies” Labuda said. Using BALSAC we plan to expand the research to other regions of Quebec and other suitable populations elsewhere.About the study:
The study was financed in part by the Réseau de médecine génétique appliquée of the Fonds de recherche en santé du Québec.
University of Montreal, Sainte-Justine Hospital and University of Quebec at Chicoutimi are officially known as Université de Montréal, Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine and Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, respectively.• Damian Labuda is affiliated with Université de Montréal’s Department of Pediatrics and the Research Centre at the CHU Sainte-Justine (CR-CHUSJ).

Blizzard Entertainment will probably announce a brand new World of Warcraft expansion this week at its BlizzCon fan event, which kicks off on Friday. However the expanding rings of WoW’s influence stretch far beyond Anaheim, Calif into shooters and sports games beloved by these who would sneer at playing an RPG.
The biggest subscription-based massively multiplayer on line role playing game in the world marks its 13th anniversary this month. Each and every year players and pundits predict its death, and each and every year it keeps on slaying these cheap wow gold dragons. Despite a decline in overall subscriber numbers – till Activision Blizzard stopped reporting them two years ago – player engagement is up year over year, and also the game nevertheless brings house a substantial chunk of Blizzard Entertainment’s bacon.
(World of Warcraft has been in Activision Blizzard’s major four franchises for income for the past three years, one example is, a record shared only with Get in touch with of Duty.)
But WoW’s impact is not just felt on MMOs or Blizzard’s bottom line. Key concepts popularized by the game have develop into component of anything from first-person shooters to auto racers, Destiny two to Star Wars Battlefront 2.
You identified a quest giver with an exclamation point or maybe a central gathering point exactly where players’ avatars interact in your shooter? Thank WoW Gold. You delight in adding permanent gadgets and abilities to your Jedi (or your Ferrari, or your quarterback) so they grow in energy and mercilessly defeat other players on the internet? The gorilla in the MMO marketplace and others like it cast their shadows.
The BlizzCon show floor map tells the story: World of Warcraft dominates the demo-space footprint, with a huge selection of machines able to show attendees new content – probably even a taste of that new expansion.
Subscription-based MMOs may possibly seem a dead industry, but never inform World of Warcraft that. It really is nevertheless busy changing the face of everything else gamers play.

3-year-old girl who survived gruesome dog attack needs prosthetic earsPosted: Updated:
A 3-year-old Michigan girl who miraculously survived a vicious dog attack last year still has a long way to go.
Arial Canen lost her ears and most of her head is a skin graft. Family say insurance won't cover the procedure she needs for new ears.
The girl's mother says last April, Arial was playing on the trampoline at her grandmother's house when the neighbor's pit bull attacked.
"I'm guessing the dog had snatched her by her head, her hair or something," Arial's mother, Kendra Canen, said. "We're grateful that she's alive. Moving forward, we live day by day so we have good days and we have bad days."
Canen believes there can be better days.
She wants to have prosthetic ears made for her daughter before she starts school.
"You know, we're just sitting there thinking, 'She doesn't have ears, and kids are bullies,'" Canen said.
The operation comes at the hefty price of nearly $12,000. Canen says Medicaid won't cover it because the procedure was deemed cosmetic.
And there's where police and businesses throughout their county are stepping in.
Lt. Oliver Fiala with the Central Cass Fire Department is organizing a fundraiser for Arial in May in hopes of raising a lot of the needed money.
"All of the areas in this community do a great job of coming together in a time of need," Lt. Fiala said. "And so, this just happened to be a time of need and we came together and hopefully it works out flawlessly."
Canen has a good attitude and remains hopeful of giving her daughter back what she lost.
"She knows she doesn't have them because we were talking about headphones the other day and she said, 'I don't need them. I don't have ears (laugh) okay."
Warning: The link below leads to a fundraising page that features graphic images that may be upsetting.
Donations can be made to a fundraising page Arial's family created.

This is the second battery this laptop has had, and before this problem. it wouldn't work from battery alone, needing to be plugged in all the time. Not sure if this is relevant or not.


China tells banks to step up lending
(MENAFN - The Peninsula) China has told its banks to lend more in the final months of 2014 and relaxed enforcement of loan-to-deposit ratios to expand credit, sources said, as Beijing prepares to release data that could confirm the relentless slowing of its economy.
Figures on inflation, imports and fiscal spending in November have already undershot expectations since the People's Bank of China (PBOC) sprang a surprise interest rate cut on November 21, raising fears that the bid to boost lending could foreshadow more weak figures on industrial activity for the month, due today, and on lending, due in the next few days. "I wouldn't be surprised by that at all," said Andrew Polk, resident economist for the Conference Board in Beijing. "It seems pretty clear activity is continuing to weaken throughout this fourth quarter."
Two sources with knowledge of the matter said China's central bank increased the annual new loan target to 10 trillion yuan ($1.62 trillion) for 2014, up from what Chinese media have said was a previous target of 9.5 trillion yuan.
Banks have disbursed 8.23 trillion yuan of loans between January and October, so they will have to quicken the pace in the last two months if they are to meet the new target.
If upcoming data also proves worse than expected, some analysts say the PBOC could cut banks' reserve requirement ratio (RRR) as soon as this weekend, allowing them to further increase lending.

‘Very true. Then we met Mrs Thorpe and were always busy. My dear, do you think these silk gloves still look well? I wore them for the first time in Bath. Do you remember that evening?’
‘Oh, yes, perfectly,’ answered Catherine.
‘It was very agreeable, wasn’t it? Mr Tilney drank tea with us that evening, and I thought he was an excellent addition to our little society. He is a kind gentleman, isn’t he? I think you probably danced with him that evening. I am not certain, but I was wearing my most expensive dress, do you remember? And Mr Tilney admired it very much.’
Catherine felt too emotional to answer, but Mrs Allen continued, ‘I really have no patience with the General. He seemed such an admirable gentleman when we met him. Do you know, Catherine, that his lodgings were rented by another family the day after he and his children left? But no wonder — it was such a desirable address.’
As they walked home again, Mrs Morland said, ‘You must be grateful for your old friends. They have loved you and been concerned for your happiness for many years. Having the affection and good opinion of friends like Mr and Mrs Allen is much more important than your recent unhappy experience.’
Catherine knew that these were wise words, but at that moment they meant little to her. Her present happiness did not depend on old friends, but on the behaviour of her newest friends. Mrs Morland continued encouraging her daughter to forget about the people she had met at Bath as they walked towards home.
Catherine listened politely to her mother, but she was silently reflecting that now Henry must have arrived at Northanger; now he must have heard about her departure; and now, perhaps, the family were leaving the Abbey for Hereford.
The following day, Mrs Morland sat with Catherine and Sarah, her two eldest daughters, as they worked at their various jobs. Catherine had never been hard-working, nor had she liked sitting indoors for very long, but Mrs Morland noticed that her bad habits had become even worse. The seventeen-year-old could not sit still, nor concentrate on a piece of work for even ten minutes at a time. She regularly stood up and walked around the room or wandered into the garden. Sitting quietly seemed impossible.
But worst of all to her mother was Catherine’s lack of energy and spirit. She knew her daughter had never been a good worker, but silence and sadness were unusual for her. What had happened to her old, cheerful personality?
For two days Mrs Morland allowed this behaviour to pass without a hint of criticism, but when a third night’s rest still had not returned Catherine to her old self, she decided to have a serious talk with her daughter.
‘My dear Catherine, I am afraid you have become too grand for your own family. Should your father mend his own shirts? Look how steadily your sister is working, while your head is still in Bath. You must remember that there is a time for everything. Now is not the time for balls and theatre; now is the time for you to be useful to me and to your family.’
Catherine picked up her sewing basket and sadly replied, ‘I do not think about Bath. At least, not very much.’
‘Then you must still be upset about General Tilney, and that is very silly of you. You probably will never see him again. You should not worry about things you cannot change.’ After a short silence, she continued, ‘I hope you have not found your home disappointing because it is not as elegant as Northanger Abbey. That would be turning your visit into something evil. Wherever you are, but especially in your own home, you should learn to be content. I was not happy to hear you at breakfast talking so much about the French bread and the beautiful plates at Northanger.’
‘I am sure I do not care about any of that,’ said Catherine quietly.
‘I have a book,’ Mrs Morland said, ‘with a very clever essay about young ladies who have been spoiled by making friends with people who are much grander than their own families. I will find it for you later. I am sure it will do you good.’
Catherine tried to get on with her work, but after a few minutes Mrs Morland saw her staring out of the window again. She came to the conclusion that her daughter was suffering, and she hastily left the room to find her book of clever essays.
