This weekend, the Cincy Blues Fest — presented annually by the Cincy Blues Society — returns for its 21st year, a remarkable accomplishment for a music festival of any sort. The festival kicks off tonight and continues tomorrow at Sawyer Point along the riverfront.
The weekend features two main stage acts with serious ties to Cincinnati’s Blues past. Educator, author, DJ, singer and harmonica player Steven Tracy returns to Cincy to play the main stage on tonight at 7 p.m. with his band the Crawling Kingsnakes. A Walnut Hills High School graduate, Tracy worked with local Blues icons like Pigmeat Jarrett and Big Joe Duskin, becoming a part of the scene he’d later dig deeper into in the 1993 book, Going to Cincinnati: A History of the Blues in the Queen City. His writing career is extensive — Tracy has written dozens of album liner notes and edited/wrote/intro-ed several other books on a variety of subjects. Today, Tracy is a professor of Afro-American Studies at University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Saturday at 6 p.m. on the fest’s main stage, Stacy Mitchhart and his band are slated to perform. Mitchhart grew up in Cincinnati and spent time playing music on the East and West Coasts before returning to his hometown in the early 1990s and forming Stacy Mitchhart and Blues-U-Can-Use, a staple on the local Blues scene for a few years. After a move to Nashville, Tenn., in the mid-’90s, Mitchhart’s musical career really took off. His albums have been widely acclaimed and done well commercially — his 2011 release, Live from B.B. King’s, debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard Blues charts — and he’s received high-praise for his showmanship and remarkable Blues voice. In 2008, Mitchhart was the subject of the well-received documentary NashVegas Blues.
Here is tonight's main stage schedule:
5:45-6:45 p.m. Dave Muskett
7:00-8:15 p.m. Steve Tracy & the Crawling Kingsnakes

And today it was announced that three of the biggest acts announced for September's MidPoint Music Festival will perform at Washington Park's new MPMF stage. A total of four acts will perform each night at the Park stage.

This morning, the annual Bunbury Music Festival, coming up July 11-13 and returning to Sawyer Point/Yeatman’s Cove along the Ohio River, announced the first acts for this summer’s event. Fall Out Boy, which won the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Alternative Band last night, will be joined at the fest by consistent Pop/Rock hit makers Paramore (who were up against FOB for that People’s Choice Award and are doing a co-headlining tour with the band this summer, something that leaked early, allegedly angering Paramore) and up-and-coming Danish alt-rockers New Politics (also on the FOB/Paramore jaunt).
The full lineup for the Bunbury Music Festival is scheduled to be announced next month. Tickets are on sale now; below are details:

Also this morning, it was announced that The Afghan Whigs, one of the best musical exports to ever come out of Cincinnati, are returning to the road in 2014 to play (at least) the Coachella festival in California this summer. (The full Coachella lineup, which was released this morning and includes Arcade Fire, OutKast and The Replacements, can be found here.) Sounds like a good fit for this year’s Bunbury lineup, too.
The Lebanon-based up-and-comers at the All-Nighter Studio want to set your everlovin' music mind spinning this upcoming weekend. They've brought together an impressive array of jammy, funky, folksy and twangy groups for a two-day music festival they're calling Greentree Groove.
This holiday weekend is shaping up to be a scorcher, so be sure to add sweatbands to your “things to bring to Taste of Cincinnati” list (along with your Tums and earplugs). Below are some local music suggestions for Sunday's Taste.
Duke Energy Center isn’t the first place that comes to mind when the words “sacred space” are uttered, but evidently God don’t give a damn (sorry — dang) about the venue, just so long as you’re singin’, praisin’ and believin’. The big building formerly known as the Convention Center is the site of the 42nd Annual Gospel Music Workshop of America National Convention.
Lollapalooza Day 2 dawned bright and early — I woke up a tad late, having burned the midnight oil too long the night before.
Rule No. 2 of Lollapalooza: Get enough sleep. Always. Especially if you’ll be walking every-the-heck-where.
I had been invited to an after-party Friday night, sponsored by Belvedere Vodka, at the W Chicago City Center downtown. I went in my sweaty Lolla regalia, and was rewarded with performances by Two Door Cinema Club and Fitz and the Tantrums.
Machine Head has given us six studio albums with the seventh upcoming in September called Unto the Locusts (listen to the first single, "Locust," below). The band has headlined every Metal festival across the country and has been inspiring up and coming Metal bands for years. CityBeat caught up with lead singer Robb Flynn to preview this week’s Mayhem Festival, which hits Riverbend this Wednesday. Flynn discussed the path that Machine Head has taken to get to its place among Metal's elite, the group's craziest fans and the band's new album.
One could argue that New Orleans is one of the most fun places on the planet. You cannot beat the food, laidback attitudes and genuine hospitality. Combine all of that with some of the most talented musicians in the world and you have the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
The New Orleans Jazz Fest kicked off in full swing last Friday, April 26, with thousands flocking to the New Orleans Fairgrounds to hear their favorite musical acts, see one-of-a-kind pieces from local artists and taste the flavors of New Orleans.
Local musical acts kicked off each morning on the 11 different stages around the fairgrounds, leading up to the first weekend's main acts, which included include John Mayer, Billy Joel and Dave Matthews Band, which closed out each night on the Acura Stage.
One of the most enjoyable parts of Jazz Fest for me each year is seeing “the bands before the main stage bands.” I always walk away with new music to listen to from legends and discover exciting new stage acts. This year I fell in love in the Blues tents with guitar legends like Sonny Landreth, Guitar Slim Jr., Lil Buck Senegal, Deacon John and Little Freddie King.
Dr. John, who is always a Jazz Fest highlight performed on Friday and had an Ohio native backing him. Dr. John recently restructured his band before Jazz Fest and kept only one former member, trombonist Sarah Morrow who grew up near Pickerington, Ohio, just outside of Ohio.
The New Orleans Fairgrounds filled to the brim Saturday with attendees showing up early to get the best seats to hear Bill Joel belt out his hits. Joel closed out his set by playing with New Orleans' own Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Sunday morning brought cloudy skies that soon turned into torrential downpours. But that didn't stop Jazz Fest goers from staking out spots for Dave Mathews Band. The skies cleared enough to dry off before the second wave of rain, soaking DMB as they played through the rain for thousands of diehard Jazz Fest fans. The dancing in the mud surely created lifelong memories for some attendees.
If seeing the Dave Matthews Band play an epic set in the rain was not good enough, you could make your way over the Blues tent and see the King play the Blues like it is the end of the world. BB King electrified as he took the stage in the Blues Tent to close out the first weekend of the festival. The legendary Allen Toussaint joined King on stage and, as BB began his set, belted out an a cappella Blues tribute to the King himself. King ended the set with a toast to the audience: "If I can't be with you next week, think about me some time."
Widespread Panic closed out my last day at NOLA Jazz Fest with a rainy two and a half hour set for their loyal legion of fans, all of whom seemed perfectly happy to dance in the mud at the Acura Stage.
Yesterday kicked off the second weekend of the famous festival and will feature performances by New Orleans native Mia Borders and Patti Smith.
I will miss New Orleans' music and food dearly when I go and will start the countdown to Essence Festival in July, when I return to the Big Easy for more music and fun times.

Two-time world champion Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso will move from Alpine to Aston Martin in 2023 on a multi-year deal, the British construction team said in a statement on Monday.

Worker at Orléans care home dies from COVID-19
30 residents have died at the Madonna Care Community
A longtime personal support worker at one of Ottawa's hardest-hit long-term care homes has died of COVID-19, officials there say.
Thirty residents have died at the Madonna Care Community in Orléans since the start of the outbreak, according to Sienna Senior Living, the home's operator — but neither Madonna nor any other homes in Ottawa had reported a staff member dying of the respiratory illness until now.
"He was a loved and respected team member and will be missed by his colleagues and the residents he cared for," the home said in a statement Thursday.
"Our dedicated team is working tirelessly to bring care, comfort and support to the residents we serve. The loss of a colleague is truly heartbreaking during an already difficult time."
'We need a plan'
The worker's death is "certainly a tragic situation" for the care home, said Stephen Blais, the MPP for Orléans.
Sienna has sent extra managers to the facility to better understand what's happening and implement measures to improve the situation, Blais told Radio-Canada.
"We think it's very important that they and the government explain how they're going to improve this situation, and how they can get a handle on what's going on there," he said.
"We need a plan to deal with the emergency today, but it needs to be long-lasting. Because this isn't going to go away any time soon."
There are currently 47 residents and 31 staff at the home who've tested positive for COVID-19, according to a Thursday afternoon statement from the office of Merillee Fullerton, Ontario's minister of long-term care.
The ministry is tracking conditions at the Madonna Care Community "daily," the statement said, noting the home has outbreak management strategies in place and isn't short on personal protective equipment.
Various local health institutions, including The Ottawa Hospital and CHEO, are helping Madonna with staffing, the statement said.
An "assigned support person" from the ministry is also making sure the home has what they need to get through the pandemic.
They've lost a trusted and respected colleague- Candace Rennick
However, earlier testing and more access to personal protective equipment could potentially have prevented the worker's death, according to the union that represents workers at the home.
"We're talking about over 20 days [after the first case] before the home-wide testing took place. So I think people could have moved quicker," said Candace Rennick, secretary-treasurer with CUPE Ontario and a former front-line long-term care worker.
More N95 respiratory masks — which most workers at the home don't have — would also have been beneficial, Rennick added.
"I think people are pretty devastated ... they've lost a trusted and respected colleague," she said.
2 new deaths citywide
The total number of deaths linked to COVID-19 in the nation's capital currently sits at 141, according to the latest numbers released Thursday afternoon by Ottawa Public Health (OPH).
Health officials announced 21 new cases Thursday, along with two more deaths.
In all, there have been 1,579 laboratory-confirmed cases, OPH said, with ongoing outbreaks in 24 institutions.
Public health officials have said there are likely many more undiagnosed cases in the community.

A hospital trust which apologised after a baby died has been told they did “not handle the situation very well”.
Ben Condon died at Bristol Children's Hospital in April 2015, after developing acute respiratory distress syndrome.
In October last year Robert Woolley, the chief executive of University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust, said he accepted there were failings in Ben’s care and had written to his parents to say sorry.
At the time Ben’s dad Allyn Condon described the apology as "two-and-a-half years too late" .
Now Bristol city councillor Brenda Massey (Lab: Southmead) has said the trust "did not handle the situation very well”.
She was speaking at a meeting of the council's overview and scrutiny management board on Thursday, March 8.
Ms Massey was presenting a report from a joint health scrutiny meeting held earlier this year in partnership with South Gloucestershire Council, which was specifically tasked with looking into the Benjamin Condon case.
Ben was born at 29 weeks on 17 February 2015 and spent seven weeks in hospital before going home to Weston-super-Mare.
Two days later he became ill and was taken to Weston General Hospital and then transferred to Bristol.
He was not prescribed antibiotics until just over an hour before he died, on 17 April 2015.
In her report Ms Massey said there was still a difference in medical opinion about whether antibiotics could have saved Ben's life.
“This makes it very difficult to give any closure to the parents at the moment,” she said.
“It is just a very, very complex and sad situation.
“We know the trust has taken so many steps in a short time and hopefully a great many lessons have been learnt.”
The trust's chief executive Robert Woolley has said that “serious mistakes” were made communicating with the family.
However, he explained that a number of changes had been made since Ben's death, which included investment in bereavement support, a new electronic information system on the children's intensive care unit which records everything happening to a child, and the review and update of guidelines for treating acute lung problems in children.

There may have been a few less eyeballs watching, both in person and online. The stakes might have been lower.
But David Wiese said he felt like he had just swapped one family for another after turning out for Namibia in Dubai, a little over a week after winning the Pakistan Super League with Lahore Qalandars.
The all-rounder was returning to play for his father’s home country, on the same field at the ICC Academy in Dubai where he had debuted for them back in October.
The former South Africa international has joined up with the Namibians for their Cricket World Cup League 2 tri-series, involving UAE and Oman.
It is his first cricket since helping Qalandars to a maiden PSL title in front of the packed stands of the Gaddafi Stadium in their home city of Lahore.
“It is an amazing achievement,” Wiese said of winning the title against Multan Sultans at the end of last month.
“Traditionally, the Qalandars hadn’t been the best side in the PSL, but we have kept the core of the team together over the past couple of years.
“We knew at one stage it was always going to bear fruit. It just felt like the stars aligned and everything clicked towards the end of the tournament.
“You can’t underestimate how much impact playing in front of a home crowd made. That was amazing, being able to play at home in front of 30,000 supporters again.
“It was an unbelievable experience. I can’t explain how much energy they give you when you play there.”
Initially, Wiese was brought back to reality with a bump, after swapping the green of the Qalandars for the dapper dark blue of Namibia.
He was bowled first ball by a rampant Bilal Khan, the Oman left-arm quick bowler, as Namibia crumbled to 53-7.
Remarkably, though, the African side bounced back from that position to win by 110 runs. First, Gerhard Erasmus salvaged the batting effort with an innings worth 121 not out from 120 balls that was every bit the archetypal captain’s knock.
After he dragged Namibia to 226, the weary Oman batsmen were blown away by a relentless pace attack, with Wiese himself taking 2-22.
While the differences are obvious, Wiese said there are parallels between Qalandars and Namibia, too. Namely, that the close bonds between the players make them fight for each other.
“Because the core seven or eight players have been together for a few years now, it does not just feel like one of those franchise sides where you go in and go out," he said of his PSL team.
“You really get invested in the team there. The management, Sameen [Rana, the Qalandars chief operating officer] and the Rana family are such passionate sport and cricket lovers that they have really created a family vibe there. You want to do well for them the whole time.
“This [Namibia] is on the opposite spectrum. There are only so many people in Namibia. You play against the same club teams the whole time. You train together. In this aspect, you become a close knit unit.
“These guys over the past couple of years have shed blood, sweat and tears together. They have really put in the effort, and that is the bond that grows when you go through the hard times.
“You could see today that everyone was fighting for each other. You could see when [Erasmus] got his hundred, we were all happy for each other’s achievements. It is a great culture to have in the team.”
Erasmus, too, said he was proud of the fight his side had put up – which was most obvious during his stand of 50 for the eighth wicket with Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, and 121 for the ninth with Bernard Scholtz.
“We stayed in the challenge and stayed connected to the game, and I guess if you do that for a long period of time things like today can happen,” Erasmus said. “They were a very important two points for us.”
The series recommences when Namibia face UAE, who lost the opening game by 12 runs against Oman on Saturday, at the ICC Academy on Tuesday.

Recording icon Neil Young brought a powerful message to SXSW this week in Austin, Texas. The music legend says the time for change in music has come. And a change in technology will go a long way in assisting that effort.
Young is busy promoting the launch of PonoMusic, which is touted as a revolutionary movement initiated by Young “with a mission to restore the soul of music – bringing the highest-quality digital music to discerning, passionate consumers, who hunger to hear music the way its creators intended, with the emotion, detail, and power intact.”
To that end, Young is pushing a new product called PonoPlayer, which will directly challenge Apple’s industry-leading iPod.
Based on details shared at SXSW, the PonoPlayer has 128GB of memory and can store from about 100 to 500 high-resolution digital-music albums, depending on the resolution and length of the original recording.
Memory cards can be used to store and play different playlists and additional collections of music.
The PonoPlayer will be available online for $399, although discounted offerings will be made on Kickstarter.com later this week as efforts to launch the new device accelerate.
“It’s about the music, real music. We want to move digital music into the 21st century and PonoMusic does that. We couldn’t be more excited – not for ourselves, but for those that are moved by what music means in their lives,” said Neil Young in a statement released to media.

Both are super quick!
This one was simply stamped and coloured in distress pens. I then added distress ink around the outside of the lady and stamped around her using more distress ink and part of the stamp.
A more CAS card this was stamped and coloured in the same way then I added a simple border and another stamp from chocolate baroque as a sentiment!
I can't wait to use the other two season ladies - I am sure I'll get around to that soon!
Here's to a happy Sunday!

In what has become a now-daily occurrence, a well-known member of the college athletics establishment said something for or against paying collegiate athletes, which subsequently turned into a war of words on my twitter feed between the folks that want to see the labor force get a bigger cut of the profits from college athletics and those that believe a full scholarship is more than enough.
This time, it was Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany, who had plenty to say in regards to college athletics and amateurism. Some of the highlights:
- “Maybe in football and basketball, it would work better if more kids had a chance to go directly into the professional ranks. If they’re not comfortable and want to monetize, let the minor leagues flourish. Train at IMG, get agents to invest in your body, get agents to invest in your likeness, and establish it on your own. But don’t come here and say, ‘We want to be paid $25,000 or $50,000.’ Go to the D-League and get it, go to the NBA and get it, go to the NFL and get it.”
- “I don’t view it as a labor force. I view them as athletes, as students. I view the universities and the brands that have been here for 118 years. It’s built by predecessors, from Isiah Thomas to Magic Johnson to John Havlicek to Archie Clark to Red Grange.”
- “Being a full-time student is basic, providing opportunities for women is basic, providing Olympic sports opportunities for men is basic. The expectation they should graduate at or about the same rate is basic. I don’t want to give those things up. Why? Because we’re wildly successful in football and basketball? Now, if a judge says, ‘You must pay,’ I said, ‘OK. Tell us what to do now.'”
Then Iowa State’s Athletic Director Jamie Pollard decided to drop by, doing his best to drive a wedge between the non-revenue sports athletes — whose teams are funded by football and basketball — and the revenue sports athletes.
I’m not going to get to wordy about how ridiculous and shameful the concept of amateurism truly his (just read this), or why most of what Delany said is inaccurate (read this, too), or try and explain to you why college is the only real option for players in revenue sports, or list off the reasons why the “education” these athletes receive is not the same as the education a normal student gets. If you truly believe that college football and basketball players shouldn’t get a bigger cut of the money they generate, than I can’t help you. I just have to be glad you don’t actually have a say in the matter.
The one thing I’ll say is this: the heart of the problem isn’t the lack of pay for the players, it’s the lack of say. They have no power. They have no voice. They only thing really differentiating them from being employees of these universities is a label a court ruling from 50-some odd years ago, yet there is no college athlete union.
The NFL and the NBA have a collective bargaining agreement between the players and the owners. College athletes are at the mercy of a group of athletic directors that don’t want to see their seven-figure salaries reduced.
If that doesn’t rub you the wrong way, I’m not sure what I can say to you.


Eight years after acquiring the Jaguar Land Rover brand, Tata will be collaborating with its famed subsidiary to develop a new SUV under the Q5 project. Mahindra is not far behind, and is working on similar plans with its Korean Subsidiary, SsangYong.
Tata’s takeover of the Jaguar Land Rover brand was one of the most talked about events in 2008. Many people were eagerly anticipating a cross-over product with shared parts for the Indian market. There however, seemed to be no such thing happening as the two brands seemed to be operating as two different entities in spite of the takeover by Tata. Thus, the Q5 project gaining financial approval is great news, as under this project the two brands will be developing a new SUV incorporating various elements from both the companies, primarily for the Indian market.
The Q5 project will most likely use the Land rover Discovery Sport L550 platform as a base for the new SUV. For the engine, the new project will probably borrow the 2-litre diesel motor used in the Chrysler C Jeep. However, the recent issues being faced by the diesel SUVs in India may affect the finished product, which may see petrol options as well.
Mahindra on the other hand will pair with its subsidiary, SsangYong, and use its X100 platform to develop new SUVs that will rival the likes of the Ford EcoSport and the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. The Mahindra-SsangYong project is at a much more advanced stage than that of Tata’s. It will be easier for Mahindra to Indianise SsangYong’s X100 platform due to the platform’s mass market nature. SsangYong will be taking care of the mechanicals, while Mahindra will be responsible for the exterior design. The joint effort will also produce an all-new 1.5 litre TGDI Petrol engine which will be used by both the companies.
Both these SUVs are expected to hit the markets by 2018 as they are still in their development stage. Tata might take longer as the Discovery platform will require heavy re-working for it to be localised, as the grade of steel used by Land Rover is not available in India. The Diesel SUV issue is also acting as a major roadblock for the decisions pertaining to the engine.
Tata JLR SUV And Mahindra SsangYong SUV Under Works
– Tata to partner with Jaguar Land Rover to develop a new SUV under the parent brand
– Mahindra too treading in the same direction with subsidiary SsangYong
– The SUVS will be based on Land rover’s discovery L550 and SsangYong’s X100 platforms
– Launches expected by 2018

When it comes to your dog, you want your faithful friend to be as comfortable as possible while grooming him. A good tub can help you settle him down and keep fur and other debris from going all over the floor. Here are some things to look for in a grooming tub.
If you have a dog that likes to move a lot, leash hooks are perfect tools in grooming tubs for bathing. You’ll be able to keep your dog in one spot while bathing your pup. Some tubs come with these but you can always order them separately.
If you’re able to get the built-in ones, that would be a smarter move because they usually can withstand your dog’s movements better.
Depending on the breed, your dog may be smaller or taller. When you’re able to adjust the height, this puts less strain on your back and it’ll make the grooming experience more enjoyable for you and your pup. Additionally, your dog will feel safer because he’s able to fit comfortably.
It’s easy for your dog to lose footing on a slippery floor. When your dog gets into the tub, he’ll be anxious if the area feels too slick. When the floor has a sturdy grip on it, the dog can relax more while you clean him. Additionally, it’ll keep you from worrying that he has an accident on the floor.
Detachable Hoses and Plugs
The great thing about hoses is you can clean them in hard-to-reach areas. It’ll make grooming a lot easier for your dog. Instead of hand washing or using a cloth, you’ll be able to get rid of any soap or leftover residue on your dog’s fur.
Plugs are also great for general cleanup. Instead of having to flip the tub over you can simply go outside and drain the water in your yard. A metal tub would work well because these usually are built to last.
When grooming your dog, you want him to feel safe and secure. The first few baths may be a bit scary for him, so the right tub can help keep him calm. When it’s time to use a tub for grooming, you can make it fun for your pet after a long day of playing outside.
Choose the right tub for his height and size so that he’s able to lay in it comfortably.

Miscellaneous: This tour has a minimum of 2 travelers. If you have fewer than 2, contact us at email@example.com and we will try to find a group for you.
You will first be picked up at your hotel and then driven to the village of Los Andes, to start a day of adventure. Along the way, you will pass by the Monument to the Battle of Chacabuco. The battle led to Chile’s independence and the monument remains an important landmark today.
As you drive through the mountains, on the eastern side of the Aconcagua Valley, you’ll arrive at the first stop of the tour: San Esteban Vineyard. This vineyard is a pioneer in using hillsides with rocky soil and exposure to the sun to produce high-quality grapes rich in character and structure. You will be able to tour the vineyard and then taste their premium wines. After that, you will continue into the Andes on a twisting road called “El Caracol” (The Snail), at an altitude of 8,800 feet (2680 m) above sea level.

Beaufort County gets ‘its own CSI’
BEAUFORT —A new forensic services laboratory giving Beaufort County only the third DNA testing lab run by law enforcement in South Carolina will open Thursday.
The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office is continuing atwoday open house today for the public to see its new $750,000, state-of-the-art DNA, drug and arson lab at 111 Industrial Village Road in the Beaufort Industrial Village.
“We’re extremely excited about the forensics lab,” Sheriff P.J. Tanner said Tuesday at the lab.
“It’s a very high-tech lab,” he said. “We finally have our own CSI-Beaufort. … “It’s a huge accomplishment. This is one of the best civilian tools in fighting crime that we can have at our disposal. … “This lab is open to all law enforcement here in Beaufort County,” he added. “If acrime occurred in Beaufort County, this lab is open to their use. I don’t foresee anyone looking elsewhere for lab work.”
After the open house from 3 to 7 p.m. today, the approximately 4,000-square-foot lab will become a secure facility open only to authorized personnel, officials said.
“This is a citizen investment,” said Tanner. He championed getting the lab so his office, Bluffton and other municipal police departments could process evidence much quicker than through the overburdened State Law Enforcement Division Laboratory in Columbia, which can take up to two years to complete analysis and provide data used for investigations and prosecutions. He said for about the past year, SLED has accepted no more than five samples from acrime scene.
He said the DNA lab will be open for use by Jasper County and other South Carolina counties’ law enforcement agencies at a cost of $200 per item to be tested. That compares, Tanner said, to $1,000 per item tested at a private lab.
Lt. Renita Berry is the laboratory director. She left SLED to join the Sheriff’s Office in 2000 and set up its first drug lab in a tiny photography lab in the office. For about the past four years, the drug lab has operated out of about a 400-square-foot lab loaned by the University of South Carolina’s at its Bluffton campus.
The space for the chemical lab for drug and fire-debris testing in the new building is about three times bigger, she said. Deputy Jennifer Mills is the other chemist.
The arson testing capability is also new and previously was handled by SLED, too. “Hopefully in the near future we’ll be able to do blood-alcohol testing” now done by SLED, she said.
The lab also will be responsible for building a Beaufort County bank of DNA sampling records to use for identifying criminal suspects, Tanner said.
“Ninety percent of our crime is committed by 10 percent of the population. Our job is to identify the 10 percent,” he said.
Bodily samples for DNA cannot be taken from aperson without their permission or a court order, Mills said.
The DNA section of the laboratory is staffed by deputies John Donahue, DNA technical leader, and Tim French, DNA analyst. Both became Bluffton residents after leaving the Charlotte Police Department’s crime lab about a year ago to begin setting up the Beaufort County lab.
They purchased and began calibrating the highly complex DNA lab equipment in an open laboratory at the University of South Carolina Beaufort’s Marine Science building in Beaufort and are completing the calibrations after moving the equipment to the new lab.

Most investment banks prefer degrees in finance, accounting, business administration, and other business disciplines. Undergraduate degree subjects are less influential in the hiring process if a candidate has a master’s degree in business administration, finance, or another highly relevant subject.
What is best degree for investment banking?

Do investment banks care about your degree?
Investment banks do not care about what you know already. Really. … In fairness, one major factor that contributes to the misperceptions around banks’ presumptive insistence on finance and economics degrees is that, well, most of the applicants do indeed come from the two academic tracks.
What do investment banks look for in graduates?
Investment banks say they look for loyalty, authority, diplomacy, creativity, and high ethical standards.

Banks indeed hire from all majors, and some majors are more relevant to finance than others. But those points ignore the true importance of your major: allowing you to earn good grades while appearing competent and intelligent and gaining a useful skill set that gives you alternate career options.

Can investment bankers become engineers?
‘Provided they can make this transition, investment banking is a very rewarding career option for people with an engineering background.
Do investment banks Check A levels?

A Henderson County deputy offered a ride home to a woman walking along a rural road at night but had to take her to jail instead.
Lacey Davenport, 28, was spotted late Sunday walking in the center of a bridge south of Chandler, near Tyler, the Tyler Morning Telegraph reports.
The deputy stopped to give her a ride but first asked Davenport whether she had any weapons or anything else he needed to know about.
Davenport offered up a small knife, a glass pipe and a container possibly filled with meth.
"Here, one of my deputies was doing the right and honorable thing, helping a person he knew needed help," Sheriff Botie Hillhouse said in a news release. "And the result is the arrest of another drug user."
She was taken to Henderson County Jail and booked for possession of a controlled substance.
Davenport has prior charges of theft, violating probation and failure to appear in court.
She is currently held on $8,500 bond.

Although the English tests have been translated to Welsh, new research funded by the Welsh Government will establish the robustness of the tests when used in Welsh, ensuring that two people with the same degree of cognitive impairment should achieve the same result from the test irrespective of which language they are assessed under.
The new research is being launched at a Dementia and the Welsh Language webinar on January 25th hosted by the Centre for Ageing & Dementia Research, a world-leading centre bringing together experts from Bangor and Swansea Universities who are addressing key questions in ageing and dementia.
The five speakers on the topic will include the latest research on the impact of language on wellbeing, individual experiences, Welsh policy, and testing translated cognitive tests for Welsh speakers.
Interest in the event has been strong reflecting the growing appreciation of the importance of effective communication for people living with dementia. Anyone interested in joining the online seminar can view the speakers and register using this link.
Ensuring that Welsh language versions of the standard dementia tests are offered to Welsh speakers was one of the main recommendations of a research briefing to the Welsh Government authored by Dr Catrin Hedd Jones, a dementia lecturer at Bangor University.
This recommendation was embodied in the Welsh Government Dementia Action Plan, with IAITH: Welsh Centre for Language Planning now tasked with ensuring that the Welsh language versions have been tested with Welsh speakers. Bangor University will work on this research in collaboration with clinicians across Wales to support the delivery of the Active offer. The Active offer places responsibility on those delivering services to ask which language a patient would be most comfortable and then ensure that they can be supported to use their language when they require care and support.
Dr Catrin Hedd Jones of the University’s School of Medical & Healthcare Sciences said:
“We know that verbal communication can become a challenge for some people living with dementia and it is vital that Welsh speakers are supported throughout their journey with dementia to communicate in the language that feels natural to them. This is not a matter of choice but a clinical need and failure to do so could increase the risk of inappropriate test results / care. We are delighted that the Welsh Government has supported this work to ensure that clinicians have full confidence in the translated tests.”
Dr Kathryn Jones of IAITH will be presenting an overview of the aims, method and timetable for the work at the weminar.
Dr Kathryn Jones said:
“IAITH is delighted to be involved in this important new Welsh Government funded research that will collate information on Welsh language versions of cognitive assessment tools/scales that are currently available and in use across Wales and further develop the normative data available allowing the confident interpretation of assessments carried out in a clinical context with speakers of Welsh.”
It’s exciting to see such a broad swathe of on-going research into language use in the context of dementia and ageing. The language we are able to use has a profound effect on our well-being, and we need to consider this when planning and delivering all aspects of care for older people or people living with dementia in a caring bilingual society.

The technicality and jargon associated with cryptocurrency never stops mystifying users and enthusiasts. Blockchain technology, which is the bedrock of cryptocurrency, is one such concept behind the thriving world of cryptocurrencies. Here, we decode this technology and its various types.
First, what is blockchain technology and how does it work? A blockchain is a distributed database that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. It stores information in digital format in what is called a digital ledger. A blockchain collects information clustered in groups, called blocks that hold sets of information. Blocks have certain storage capacities and, when filled, are closed and linked to the previously filled block, forming a chain of data known as blockchain.
Now, a look at the types of blockchains:
- Public blockchains
They represent the foundation of most of the cryptocurrencies. Public blockchains are also called permissionless, as anyone can freely join the network without prior permission. They are called public blockchain for the following reasons:
- All the network participants can see the shared ledger and take part in the consensus process, by validating transactions.
- A public blockchain offers an entirely open protocol, where anyone can contribute, giving everyone access to the ongoing activities on the blockchain, making the network self-governed.
- These blockchains are built on a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, which is supported exclusively by decentralized network participants

Strengths and limitations
Comprising about 800,000 individuals, the AMORIS cohort is unique, with more than 35 million laboratory values from nearly 600 different methods, and linkages to several national high quality registers and research cohorts using the Swedish personal identification number enabling a follow-up of more than 20 years.
The AMORIS cohort constitutes a large and representative part of the population of Stockholm County between1985-1996. Record linkage to Swedish national registers, clinical quality of care registers and research cohorts provides opportunities for detailed prospective observational studies of associations between biomarkers and the risk of chronic disease, morbidity and mortality. All biomarkers were measured on fresh blood/urine samples at the same clinical laboratory, based on well-documented analytical methods and for a large proportion in a routine health screening setting. More than 50% of the cohort had repeated examinations. Furthermore, there is a complete follow-up of mortality, cancer incidence and other major diseases requiring hospitalization for more than 20 years up to 2012. Linkages of the AMORIS cohort to national censuses have shown that it represents the general population of Stockholm County during the inclusion period.
A limitation of the AMORIS cohort is the partial availability of information on lifestyle factors, certain cardiovascular risk factors and specific treatments. However, such information is available in sub-cohorts to confirm results obtained in the entire cohort. For instance, information on major cardiovascular risk factors (including tobacco smoking, hypertension and obesity) is available in a sub-cohort of about 100,000 subjects, constituting about 15% of the total AMORIS cohort, which is sufficiently large in many situations at least as a sensitivity analysis. In addition, from 2005-2012 prescribed drug treatment is available via the National Prescribed Drug Register. If single risk factors are studied, sub-cohorts could amount to several hundred thousand subjects. For the AMORIS cohort there are no frozen blood samples. Also, there is no information on genetic biomarkers. Certain analyses of possible genetic impact may be performed using mono- and dizygotic twin pairs identified in the AMORIS cohort using the Swedish Twin Register. A slightly greater proportion of employed subjects in the AMORIS cohort compared to the general population give a “healthy worker effect” reflected by lower all-cause mortality. While this does not affect the internal validity of studies based on the AMORIS cohort, it could lead to underestimates of prevalence and incidence rates in the general population.

Turkey’s War on Dissident Journalism With No place for Media Solidarity
The hostility of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s and his ruling Justice and Development Party to a free press and independent journalism has become something of a dangerous obsession in recent months.
The Ethical Journalism Network, which has been monitoring the pressure on Turkish newsrooms in recent years, has exposed the threats of self-censorship and political pressure on journalism. Now the signs are the situation is getting even worse.
As part of the government policy to keep journalism on a tight leash, it announced last month that it will make regular inspection of journalism and media.
In this case, it is to ensure media reporting is in line with the socially conservative “family values” of the regime, but it’s another signal that the crisis facing journalism, which has put two leading journalists in jail and facing controversial charges of terrorism and espionage, is likely to intensify in the coming months.
The EJN last month joined with the global free expression community to highlight the cases of journalists Can Dündar and Erdem Gül who face life sentences if found guilty. We joined an effort to arrange a prison visit by free press campaigners but the government refused to allow it.
Ceren Sözeri, who represents the EJN in Istanbul, said that the media representatives in defiance staged a demonstration outside Silivri Prison, “in protest against the refusal to grant us a visit and to call for Dundar and Gul and all jailed journalists to be freed.”
At the protest Steven Ellis and Kadri Gürsel from International Press Institute read out a statement from the nine media and press freedom support groups who tried to visit the imprisoned journalists.
The demonstration coincided with the Turkish prosecutor’s publication of a 473 page indictment against the two journalists. The only evidence presented against them is “their news stories and columns”, says Sözeri, who is also a professor and faculty member at the Communications Department of Galatasaray University.
According to Turkish newspaper, Hürriyet, the charges against both journalists include:
- gathering secret state documents for the purposes of political and military espionage
- attempting to topple the government of the Republic of Turkey or attempting to stop either partially or totally the government from fulfilling its duties
- deliberate support for a terrorist organization without being a member
The prosecutor alleges that through their news articles and columns Dündar and Gül attempted to manipulated the public to believe that the Turkish government and the state was providing assistance to the terrorist network Al Qaeda. Dündar and Gül, the prosecutor claims, were also aiming to bring this alleged support to the International Criminal Court. But press freedom groups are scathing about the charges.
“You can’t believe the prosecutor’s imagination”, Sözeri says, adding that “Dündar and Gül are on trial for journalism.”
She says 31 journalists are still in jail and Turkey has become an open prison due to widespread censorship and self-censorship.
The cases of Dündar, editor-in-chief of Cumhuriyet, and Gül, the newspaper’s Ankara bureau chief, have become iconic symbols of the growing repression now facing critical and independent voices in the Turkish media community.
The charges against them remain unclear, as they have not been allowed to review indictments against them. However, the case is believed to stem from a May 29, 2015 report published in Cumhuriyet that included a video purportedly showing Turkish security forces searching intelligence agency trucks en route to Syria containing crates of ammunition and weapons.
The denial of a prison visit shows a hardening of the official line. In recent years, when nearly 100 journalists were held in Turkish prisons, journalists in Turkey were often allowed to visit their imprisoned colleagues. However, in recent months, Turkey’s Justice Ministry has effectively barred most visits for both Dündar and Gül; the only visitors allowed to see them are close family members, lawyers or members of Turkey’s Parliament.
The coalition of global media groups working on these cases, besides the EJN, includes the International Press Institute (IPI), the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), ARTICLE 19, Index on Censorship, PEN International, the World Association of Newspaper Publishers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) and the South East Europe Media Organisation.
The groups insist that the persecution of these journalists in retaliation for having reported on a matter of urgent and undeniable public interest, and the refusal to permit visitation in the manner that any other prisoner would be allowed, represent a violation of their rights and a gross abuse of authority. This wrong is compounded by the fact that neither Dündar nor Gül have been convicted of any crime.
It’s also worrying to see the misuse of anti-terror law against the journalists, which is only the latest incident of its kind in Turkey, and adds to the evidence of growing authoritarianism and widespread abuse of human rights. This includes politicisation of the judiciary; the imposition of outright bans on disseminating certain content; the use of state agencies and economic levers to silence media outlets; verbal and – in some cases – physical attacks on critical journalists; and the orchestration of online hate campaigns targeting government critics.
Not surprisingly, the media freedom coalition is demanding that Turkey frees Dündar and Gül and drops all charges. The same demand is being made on behalf of all other journalists currently detained in connection with their journalism.
But given that the government is not in the mood for listening it is likely to take more focused campaigning and external pressure – particularly from Turkey’s political friends in the democratic world – to ensure that Erdogan and his government meet their human rights commitments under domestic and international law.

Woman, 46, who was given the name MARIJUANA PEPSI at birth defies bullies and critics to become a doctor after earning her PhD
- Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck, 46, has spent her entire life embracing the name her mother gave her despite the backlash
- She refused to change the unusual name in a bid to prove to herself that overcoming obstacles is possible
- The mother-of-one is now officially Dr Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck after earning her PhD in higher education leadership in Wisconsin
A woman who was born with the name Marijuana Pepsi has defied the bullies and critics to become a doctor after earning her PhD.
Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck, 46, has spent her entire life embracing the name her mother gave her despite others pushing back against her.
She refused to change the unusual name in a bid to prove to herself and to others that overcoming obstacles is possible.
Now, the mother-of-one is officially Dr Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck after earning her PhD in higher education leadership from Cardinal Stritch University in Wisconsin last month.
Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck, 46, is officially a doctor after earning her PhD in higher education leadership from Cardinal Stritch University in Wisconsin last month
Vandyck told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that her mother Maggie Johnson picked out her name when she was born and declared it would take her around the world. She has two sisters whose named are Kimberly and Robin.
Despite people criticizing her mother for the name choice, Vandyck says she credits her for helping her become the strong woman she is today.
'I've grown into my name because I am a strong woman. I've had to be,' she has said previously.
Vandyck, who left an unstable home when she was 15, graduated high school and went on to earn her college and master's degree.
She vowed early on to earn her doctorate.
Marijuana has spent her entire life embracing the name her mother Maggie Johnson (right) gave her despite others pushing back against her
'I'm going to be called Dr Marijuana Pepsi,' she insisted at the time.
She said classmates made fun of her name growing up and teachers and bosses tried to urge her to get it legally changed but she refused.
'People make such a big deal out of it, I couldn't get away from it,' she said.
She chose a similar topic for her dissertation topic - 'Black names in white classrooms: Teacher behaviors and student perceptions'.
Vandyck said the students she interviewed for her thesis had similar experiences to her growing up in which educators would repeatedly quiz her on her name.
Vandyck - who works full-time at Beloit College, a liberal arts college in Wisconsin - says despite her name she has never smoked marijuana and doesn't drink Pepsi.
Vandyck, above with her husband Fredrick Vandyck, refused to change her unusual name in a bid to prove to herself and to others that overcoming obstacles is possible

20 Foods Your Child Should Be Eating Every Week
A cruciferous veggie like kale, cabbage contains phytonutrients which significantly reduce the risk of several types of cancer. Cabbage, when pickled, also improves our digestive tracts by feeding gut flora, boosting their digestive properties. The mild flavor and crispiness of cabbage will be a lovely addition to tacos, salads, and especially coleslaw. Throw a handful of sliced cabbage on top of a homemade hamburger and watch as your children enjoy the crunch of cabbage along with the tenderness of the patty.

The Cobb Energy Centre in Atlanta was white-hot on September 6th as BIGBANG‘s Taeyang serenaded thousands of eager fans. Although we’ve been experiencing cooler weather these days, the YG Entertainment vocalist definitely brought the heat during the Atlanta leg of his “White Night Tour.” The show contained everything from sensual co-ed dance numbers to mesmerizing graphics and video compilations. As a fan, it was everything you could have wanted and more.
To everyone’s surprise, Taeyang opened the show with just his vocals to the title track “White Night.” Psychedelic visuals accompanied his powerful voice, setting a great mood for the night. Next up was his dance classic “Ringa Linga,” which had everyone on their feet and in the aisles. From there, the party didn’t stop.
He adorned the stage in all white as he greeted the crowd and had numerous comical exchanges with over excited fans. Things took a steamy turn when female dancers accompanied him during his performance of “Body,” with the audience loving every second of it. The ladies held their own, dressed in heels and all black, contrasting with Taeyang’s staple, all white ensemble.
He then slowed the show down a little, performing hits like “Last Dance” (while playing a white piano) and “Wedding Dress.” The crowd sang every word as the veteran vocalist belted out the famous ballads. Even though the songs were slower, the atmosphere was very electric as fans held on to each note.
As the evening was coming to a close, he playfully asked the audience if they wanted an encore, and you could almost feel the theatre vibrate from the roar of a response! While the band brought the house down, he and the dancers slyly changed into his official tour merchandise and were quickly back onstage and ready to party.
After introducing the band and dancers, it was time to end with a bang, or shall we say a “BANG BANG BANG”! From “Good Boy” to “Fantastic Baby,” he hit us with all the classic jams of BIGBANG! There was not a single seat that had a body in it as everyone was up dancing and grooving to the music. Taeyang even did the rap parts for the songs, much to fans’ delight! To close the show, he belted out a heartfelt rendition of “Eyes, Nose, Lips” as he waved goodbye and blew kisses to the fans who were sincerely moved by his performance of one of their favorite songs.
The entire night was absolutely magical. From the insane sun and moon graphics to the killer guitar solos, there was never a dull moment. It was the perfect farewell, and his send off was just as epic!
As we all know, Taeyang is preparing for his military enlistment, which made the night even more special. He owned the stage and gave the performance of a lifetime. There’s no doubt that everyone in Atlanta will eagerly await his return, as will as everyone else who was able to attend one of the stops for his first solo tour “White Night” in North America!
