Are we the only ones getting bored of Usher ?
Since marrying and divorcing that woman, Usher just can’t seem to get his groove back. And since Michael Jackson’s death, Usher is so focused on implementing the late King of King Pop’s dance moves in his routine without any tweaking. The spinning, the two hand stick out and the hand standout stance are all predicted moves displayed by Usher, along with his lame songs of late which are just boiling over with boredom.
It’s time Usher take a note or two from Chris Brown’s playbook, because despite his troubled pass which continue to haunt him today, Chris Brown is still working hard and presenting those hits. Lets just say it, Chris is killing the game of r&b and Pop right now. We want to cheer Usher on and we want to have something good to say about his performances, but we have to be honest, what Usher has been presenting us with lately is crap.

Today is the Feast of St Thomas of Canterbury and the culmination of the delayed commemorations leading up to the anniversary of his martyrdom on this day 850 years ago.
Image: Supertock/ Church Times
The BBC News website had a most interesting article a few days ago about the apparent identification of a psalter which the Archbishop treasured. The illustrated report, which is very much a fascinating historical detective story can be seen at Has Thomas Becket's treasured 'little book' been found?
Assuming the identification is correct - and the case looks strong - then this is one more instance of treasures surviving in ‘plain sight’ and that collections such as that of the Parker Library at Corpus Christi Cambridge are such an amazing resource in having preserved unique and historic manuscripts. One might regret that Archbishop Parker gave such works away from Canterbury but that might well not have survived otherwise.
Christopher de Hamel’s account of the research The Book in the Cathedral: The Last Relic of Thomas Becket was published by Allen Lane this year - ISBN 978-0-241-47958-3. At only 58pages long it doubtless makes for excellent fireside reading in these dark and coronavirus ridden days, if only for an afternoon.
St Thomas of Canterbury Pray for us

“Ensuring the 2020 Census Count is Complete and Accurate”
Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, the Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, held a remote hearing to examine risks to the accuracy and completeness of the 2020 Census count.
The Census Bureau has faced unique challenges in conducting a complete and accurate Census, including the coronavirus pandemic, the use of new technologies for enumeration, and compressed schedules for data collection and data processing.
Last month, the New York Times reported that “Census Bureau officials have concluded that they cannot produce the state population totals required to reallocate seats in the House of Representatives until after President Trump leaves office in January.” The report added: “the Census Bureau told the Commerce Department that a growing number of snags in the massive data-processing operation that generates population totals had delayed the completion of population calculations at least until Jan. 26, and perhaps to mid-February.”
After the story became public, the Census Bureau Director, Dr. Steven Dillingham, posted a statement confirming that “anomalies have been discovered” during data processing. Since none of these problems were reported to the Committee, Chairwoman Maloney sent a letter to the Census Bureau on November 19 seeking documents relating to these anomalies and the predicted delays they would cause.
On November 24—the date the documents were due to the Committee—staff received a bipartisan telephone briefing from the Census Director and other top Census Bureau officials. These officials reported that documents responsive to the Committee’s request had been submitted to Secretary Wilbur Ross’ General Counsel at the Commerce Department, but they have not been cleared for release and there were “concerns about ongoing litigation.” When asked whether the Census Bureau had an expected date by which production might be possible, the officials could not provide one.

A 25-year-old woman was last night charged with the murder of a woman stabbed to death in Liverpool as she rode her bicycle.
Rachel Jones, 26, from Anfield, was stabbed in Woodville Terrace on Friday night after getting into an argument with two women, Merseyside Police said.
Four women were subsequently arrested on suspicion of the murder.
Last night Louise Gardner, 25, of Mallow Road, Anfield, was charged with Miss Jones’s murder. She is due to appear at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court today.
The three other women, aged 19, 25, and 49, were released on police bail.
Its sad to see anyone murdered, horrible to see it in your city and shocking to find out that it involved a group of women. You don't expect to see stories like this with women killing someone, but I guess it just shows that society has been so screwed up by these liberals that these things will start to happen more and more.
The government and councils are more interested in addressing problems of ethnic minorities and other countries than that of the Indigenous British people. BNP would change this and make sure the money is spent on the BRITISH people, we would also not tolerate murder and would allow judges sentence criminals to death if the evidence is strong enough such as the use of DNA.

MUMBAI: The Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Russia’s sovereign wealth fund has tied up with India's Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories to conduct the clinical trials and distribution of Sputnik V vaccine
in India. As per the agreement RDIF will supply 100 million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine
to Dr. Reddy’s said Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of RDIF to ET. The Sputnik V
vaccine based on the adenoviral vector platform, Dmitriev said if the trials succeed the vaccines will be available in India as early as November this year.
RDIF is in talks with four other Indian manufacturers who will be producing these vaccines for India.
"The agreement between RDIF and Dr Reddy’s reflects the growing awareness of countries and organizations to have a diversified anti-COVID vaccine portfolio to protect their populations", said a statement from the fund.
Adding that the platform of human adenoviral vectors, which is the core of the Russian vaccine, has been tested in more than 250 clinical studies over decades, and it has been found safe with no potential negative long-term consequences.”
"The Phase I and II results have shown promise, and we will be conducting Phase-III trials in India to meet the requirements of the Indian regulators. Sputnik V vaccine could provide a credible option in our fight against COVID 19 in India,” said G V Prasad, CEO Dr Reddy's
in a statement.
A study published in Lancet in September this year showed that the vaccine was safe and produced cellular as well as antibody response to the vaccine based on the phase 1 and 2 data. The data from phase 3 studies is expected to be published by October-November. Responding to the criticism that Russia was jumping timelines to get its vaccine out without following all the protocols, Dmitriev told ET that the adenovirus platform is much safer than the mRNA vaccines which most western companies are manufacturing.

Big Pharma May Be Big Player in Follow-On Biologics Market
This article is a reprint from the April 2008 issue of The RPM Report. As Congress works on an approval pathway for follow-on biologics, generic drug companies are jockeying for investors' attention. But given that most generic manufacturers may be ill-equipped to handle the development of follow-on proteins, some analysts think the real opportunity is where you'd least expect: inside Big Pharma and biotech.

Merck outlined ambitious plans for launching and growing a follow-on biologics business during its annual business briefing Dec. 9
You have to go back to 1983 to find a year as bad as 2007 for R&D output. It was a terrible year by any measure. The key question for industry: does it need to learn to subsist on a trickle of new drugs coming to market each year, or is the current drought in fact a sign of a transition to a new, more innovative R&D model? The sparse class of 2007 does offer some glimmers of hope.
Generic drug companies have been spurned by Wall Street in the past in favor of their brand manufacturing counterparts. With high generic use rates in Medicare Part D and a perceived inevitability of follow-on biologics, investment in pharmaceutical copycats is on the upswing.

This research was conducted to determine the level of a dye, rhodamin B, and a preservative, benzoic acid, on tomato sauce distributed in the area of Palu city. The food additive is used in order to get more interesting color and the benzoic acid is used to keep the food fresh for a long period of time. The research method used was a thin layer chromatography. It was aimed at knowing weather there was a dye called rhodamin B in the research sample or not. From the analysis result, it can be said that the sample did not contain the dye rhodamin B. in addition, another research method used was alkali acid titration which was used to examine the sample quantitatively and qualitatively. From the qualitative examination, it was found that all tomato sauced sampled positively contained the preservative benzoic acid. The tomato sauce produced by Mojokerto-Indonesia contained 34.7mg/kg while the one produced by Urabaya-Indonesia contained 40mg/kg. In conclusion, (1) all sample of tomato sauce examined did not contain Rhodamin B,the red dye substance, which was forbidden to be used for food, cosmetics, and medicine according to the Health Ministerial Regulation of Indonesian Republic No. 722/Menkes/Per/IX/1988 concerning food composition; and (2) the content level of Benzoic Acid in tomato sauce spread out in the traditional market, Inpres, Palu city has fulfilled the standard, i.e. + 1000 mg/kg. However, it is expected that all people must still be careful when buying and using tomato sauce.

Public postal parking plea... a post-mortem
There's a parlor game in which a player looking for a hidden item gets clued that he's off course when those in the know tell him “cold,” “colder” and then “freezing.”
The latter would definitely apply now to the quest for public off-street parking at the West End post office, 204 S. 25th St.
The idea first surfaced seven years ago, after the new Carrier Annex was built south of Highway 24. The West End station's manager at the time said that with the relocation of about 20 letter-carriers to the new facility, there would be room for public parking in what had been an employee-only lot at West End. Warm.
The manager's caveat was that a training trailer attached to the rear of the building had to be removed. Time passed, and that didn't happen. Cold.
Finally in December 2007, the trailer went away. Regional postal officials recommended public-parking to higher officials. Warm again.
More time passed without approval from higher-ups. Cold.
In summer 2008, the news finally came down that because of financial setbacks for the U.S. Postal Service, the parking plan was on hold. Colder.
About a month ago, a contractor re-fenced in front of a driveway along Cucharras Street that had become a parking lot access when the Postal Service removed the trailer. When it was pointed out to regional postal spokesperson Ron Perry that this work seemed contrary to the concept of eventually opening the lot to public parking, he clarified that the federal agency expects to lose $4 billion at the national level this year. As a result, he said, postal authorities “are not spending a whole lot on things that they think aren't particulary necessary,” such as public parking at the West End station.

Digital ID: What’s the current state-of-play in the UK?
On 22 July, as part of the #DigitalID2021 event series, techUK hosted an insightful discussion exploring the current state-of-play for digital identity in the UK and how to build public trust in digital identity technologies. The panel also examined how the UK’s progress on digital ID compares with international counterparts and set out their top priorities to support the digital identity market and facilitate wider adoption.
The panel included:
- Lord Tim Clement-Jones, House of Lords Spokesperson for Digital for the Liberal Democrats
- Margaret Moore, Director of Citizen & Devolved Government Services, Sopra Steria (Chair)
- Julie Dawson, Director of Regulatory and Policy, Yoti
- Laura Barrowcliff, Head of Strategy, GBG Plc
You can watch the full webinar here or read our summary of the key insights below:
The UK’s progress on digital identity
Opening the session, the panel discussed progress around digital identity since the start of the pandemic.
Julie Dawson raised a number of developments that indicate steps in the right direction. Before the pandemic over 3.5m EU citizens proved their settled status via the EU Settlement Scheme, whilst the JMLSG and Land Registry have both since explicitly recognised digital identity, with digital right to work checks and a Home Office sandbox on age verification technologies in alcohol sales also introduced since March last year. She also lauded the creation of the Digital Regulation Cooperation Forum as a great example of joining up across government departments, such as on the topic of age assurance.
Lord Tim Clement-Jones on the other hand noted that the pace of change has remained slow. He said that the UK government needs to take concrete action and should focus on opening up government data to third party providers. He also made the point that the u-turn on the Digital Economy Act Part 3 has not as yet been rectified and so the manifesto pledge to protect children online has still to be fulfilled. Julie pointed out that legislative change in terms of the Mandatory Licensing Conditions are still needed, to enable a person to prove their age to purchase alcohol without solely requiring a physical document with a physical hologram.
Collaboration across industry around digital identities was also highlighted by Julie, drawing upon the example of the Good Health Pass Collaborative which has emerged since the start of the pandemic. The Collaborative has brought together a variety of stakeholders and over 130 companies to work on an interoperable digital identity solution to facilitate international travel post-COVID to operate at scale once more.
Examining the Government alpha Trust Framework and latest consultation
Moving on to look at the government’s alpha Trust Framework for digital identity, as well as the newly published consultation on digital identity and attributes, the panel explored what these documents do well and what gaps ultimately remain.
Julie Dawson and Laura Barrowcliff both saw a lot of good in the new proposals, with Laura highlighting how the priorities in the government’s approach around governance, inclusion and interoperability broadly hit on the right points. Julie also highlighted the role for vouching in the government’s framework as a positive step and emphasised the government’s recognition of the importance of parity for digital identity verification as one of the most central developments for wider adoption of the technology.
Providing a more cautious view, Lord Tim Clement-Jones said the UK risked creating a byzantine pyramid of governance on digital identity. He pointed to the huge number of bodies envisaged to have roles in the UK system and raised concerns that the UK will end up with a certification scheme that differs from anyone else’s internationally by not using existing standards or accreditation systems.
Looking forward, Julie highlighted that providers are looking for clarity on how to operate and deliver over the next 18 months before any of these documents become legislation. She also expressed the sincere hope that the progress made in terms of offering digital Right to Work checks, alongside physical ones, will continue rather than end in September 2021.
She identified two separate ‘tracks’ for public and private sector use of digital identity and raised the need for a conversation on when and how to join these up with the consumer at the heart. When considering data sources, for example, the ability of digital identity providers to access data across the Passport Office, the DVLA and other government agencies and departments is critical to support the development of digital identity solutions.
The panel was pleased to see the creation of a new government Digital Identity Strategy Board which they hoped would drive progress but raised the need for further transparency about ongoing work in this space, including a list of members, TOR and meeting minutes from these sessions.
Public trust in digital identity
One of the core topics of conversation centred upon trust in digital identity technologies and what steps can be taken to drive wider public trust in this space.
Lord Tim Clement-Jones said that there is a key role for government on standards to ensure digital identity providers are suitable and trustworthy, as well as in providing a workable and feasible proposal that inspires public confidence.
Julie highlighted how, alongside the Post Office, Yoti welcomed the soon to be published research undertaken by OIX into documents and inclusion.
Laura Barrowcliff emphasised the importance of context for public trust, putting the consumer experience at the heart of considerations. Opening up digital identity and consumer choice is one such way of improving the experience for users. Whilst much of the discussion on trust ties in with concerns around fraud, Laura highlighted how digital identity can actually help from a security and privacy perspective by embodying principles such as data minimisation and transparency. She also highlighted how data minimisation and proportionate use of digital identity data could be key for user buy-in.
Lessons from around the world
Looking to international counterparts, the panel drew attention to countries around the world which have made good progress on digital identity and key learnings from these global exemplars.
The progress on digital identity made in Singapore and Canada was mentioned by Julie Dawson, who emphasised the openness around digital identity proposals – which span the public and private sector – and the work being done to keep citizens informed and involve them in the process.
Julie also raised the example of the EU, which is accelerating its work on digital identity with an approach that also spans the public and private sector and is looking at key issues such as data sources whilst focusing on the consumer. Lord Tim Clement-Jones emphasised the importance of monitoring Europe’s progress in this area and the need for the UK government to consider how its own approach will be interoperable internationally.
Panellists discussed the role digital identities have played in Estonia where 99% of citizens hold digital ID and public trust in digital identities is the norm. However, they recognised key differences between the UK and Estonia. In the UK, digital identity solutions are developing in the context of widespread use of physical identification documents, whereas digital identities were the starting point in Estonia.
Beyond the EU, Laura said that GBG has a digital identity solution in Australia where the market for reusable identities is accelerating rapidly. She highlighted that working with private sector companies who have the necessary infrastructure and capabilities in place is critical to drive adoption.
Priorities for digital identity
Drawing the discussion to a close, each of the panellists were asked for their top priority to support public trust and the growth of the digital identity market in the UK.
Transparency was identified as Julie Dawson’s top priority, particularly around what discussions are happening within and across government departments and on the work of the Strategy Board.
Lord Tim-Clement Jones highlighted data and trustworthy data-sharing as key. He said he hopes to see the formation of data foundations and trusts of publicly held information that is properly curated to be used or shared on the basis of set standards and rules, which should spill over into the digital identity arena.
Laura Barrowcliff said simplicity is most important, keeping things simple for those working in the ecosystem as well as for consumers, with those consumers at the heart of all decision-making processes.

When it comes time to dig a trench, shift a load or move dirt from one place to another, there is nothing quite like modern earthmoving equipment to take the hard labour out of the job. Not only do these machines save time and money, but they are also specifically designed for different purposes, along with a range of accessories that make them very versatile.
Perfect for Site Preparation
The bobcat, for example, is a stalwart of the construction industry, able to perform essential tasks that expand to suit the available accessories. An important part of any construction project is site preparation, which usually involves clearing a parcel of land ready for the new building. Depending on the site conditions, bobcats may be used for stump clearing, breaking up concrete, removal of debris, levelling the land and light excavation.
Works Hard in Small Spaces and Saves Money
Once the project moves into the construction phase, large machines may take over to speed up progress. However, bobcats are still needed. Their manoeuvrability makes them ideal for use in small spaces where excavators would be impractical. Bobcats are also cost effective for work on smaller projects such as housing construction, which do not have the budget of large-scale projects.
As our name shows, our business is built on the extraordinary capabilities of bobcats. Along with our fleet of tippers, excavators and accessories, Dee Gees Bobcats has the equipment and the skilled team of operators to do quality work for our clients. We work with both domestic and commercial customers, adding value to their projects with our high standards of care and expertise.
Landscapers Love Bobcats
Bobcats come into their own when used for landscaping work. Whether for property developers building whole estates or single householders improving their yards, tasks such as fencing, driveways, garden edges, laying new turf or bigger projects like swimming pool excavation, building a deck or landscaping pool surrounds are easier with a bobcat. With the right accessories, a bobcat does the hard work such as drilling post holes, digging trenches, grinding out and removing tree stumps, preparing driveways for concreting, lifting, moving and placing large rocks.
Add on Accessories for More Tasks
The versatility of a bobcat is limited only by the range of accessories available for its use. While rock breakers, rock grabs, soil levellers and pallet forks are some of the most popular, rotary cutters, for example, turn undergrowth into mulch, mixer buckets make cement in small quantities for remote work and there is even a snow plough available. Of course, the latter is not something in high demand here, but don’t ever underestimate the might of a bobcat.

I'm a little confused here - knowing what line of businesses you're in (
You're an ISP in Mayo aren't you ), these are probably both your own

the firewall, but you're ok with creating a reverse-tunnel to circumvent

Last weekend, I was blessed to go with a small group of bloggers to Oak Glen, California, famous for its apple orchards, to visit Willowbrook Farm.
We were met by the farm owner, Cheryl Swanson. She was kind enough to give us a tour and share her passion for the farm and its many apple trees! Cheryl and her family moved to this 1910 farmstead 12 years ago and have been maintaining it ever since.
Imagine walking through a grove of apple trees that is over a hundred years old! Most apple trees produce for only 30-40 years, but these trees have been in production for 104 years! Many of the apple trees at Willowbrook are standard size trees. This is unusual because many apple groves now consist of smaller, “high density” trees. They take less space, produce fruit in a shorter amount of time and are easier to harvest. Cheryl and her family harvest the big trees themselves. It’s not easy! Cheryl is so passionate about the care of her trees, she prunes them herself, by hand. Each tree takes three hours to prune. That is a real labor of love!
The variety of apples that fill Cheryl’s main orchard are called Stayman Winesaps. These apples are common on the East Coast. They’re a “high chill” apple which means they like cooler weather. The trees need at least 700 hours of cool weather to produce crisp apples. They bloom early and are picked later (usually in October). They are great storage apples, due to their thicker peel, stored in a cool place, the apples will keep for months! Cheryl told us they make superb pies because they hold their shape well when cooked. They are good cider apples too!
You can find some heirloom varieties on the farm including Liberty Apples, Sweet Sixteen Apples, Seek No Further Apples. There are also a few Jonagold, Double Delicious and HoneyCrisp trees.
Not only does Willowbrook have apple trees, they have huge blackberry bushes that grow wild around the perimeter of the farm and a large raspberry patch in the midst of the apple trees. We were a little late in the season for picking berries, but they were beautiful to see growing.
Willowbrook is far less commercial than the surrounding orchards. Cheryl strives to create real relationships with her visitors and provide them with a full farm experience! Many become regular customers who come back year after year.
In addition to caring for the farm during the week, Willowbrook has a pre-school program that includes a tour and a hay ride pulled by a 1957 vintage Ford tractor!
You’ll find a few other things growing on the farm! All the crops at Willowbrook are non-GMO. Cheryl only uses heirloom seeds for her corn, pumpkins and everything else they grow.
Cheryl has some adorable animals who live on the farm too! This is Clover and Comet! Clover is a miniature horse and Comet is a miniature donkey. They are best friends! Can you tell?
Blossom is the farms pot-bellied pig…
and there are three chickens, along with Flopsy, a 20 pound Flemish Giant rabbit.
When we were finished with our tour, Cheryl let us pick apples and press our own cider! The cider press they use is based on a model originally designed in the mid-1800’s. It’s very cool!! You can press either a half-gallon or a full gallon of cider. Be prepared for a good arm workout! It takes a lot to press your own cider. This bucket is full of the apples I used for my cider. That’s a lot of apples!!
We had such a great day at the farm! I will be going back to press more Cider and pick some of Cheryls famous Stayman Winesap Apples! I think I’ll bring my husband to help with the pressing though! Heehee!
Not only can you get apples and cider at Willowbrook, Cheryl has other delicious farm-made goodies, including Pumpkin Syrup, Apple Butter, Blackberry Jam and their famous Willowbrook Dipping Caramel! Yes, I bought some and yes, I will share with you! (Maybe… this is caramel we’re talking about!) The farm also does weddings and hosts “Teas under the Trees.”
You’ll be seeing apple recipes coming from me soon too. After all, I have five pounds of organic apples and half a gallon of fresh cider to play with!
Many thanks to Cheryl and the staff at Willowbrook for their enthusiasm and generosity in giving us this tour and sharing their apple love! I’m looking forward to seeing you all again very soon!!
So, if you’re ever near Oak Glen, California, consider stopping in at this quaint little farm! Say hello to Cheryl and the animals and get yourself some fresh-pressed Cider. You won’t regret it!

Have you tried to plan a very intimate night with your wife but feel very disappointed, frustrated, and ashamed because you are still limping? Or simply, you don't get an erection?
This occurs among 52 percent of men in their 40s to 70s. And as you get older, the percentage also increases.
Before you panic and spend all your hard-earned cash on alternative treatments or treatments that are said to increase sexual desire or drive, why don't you first determine the cause of erectile dysfunction in your case?
There are many factors that can cause erectile dysfunction, say the scientists. And fortunately, most of them have appropriate medication or preventive measures.
The causes of erectile dysfunction are categorized into two psychological and physical factors.
Ten percent of male erectile dysfunction is caused by psychological factors. If you are nervous during sex or are too worried that your partner will not be sexually satisfied, then the cause of erectile dysfunction in your case is largely psychological. Being too restless and nervous can cause lower blood flow to the penis, which, in turn, prevents the penis from becoming hard and stiff.
Even worse, these psychological problems are usually interconnected and tend to increase the problem of erectile dysfunction. They can also have negative effects on your body. More often than not, we cannot distinguish if the true cause of erectile dysfunction in a person is psychological or physical because they are usually related to each other. This makes it very difficult to cure erectile dysfunction. That is why if you think you have this problem, talk with your partner and ask for expert help before you decide to do something.
However, there are several examples when it is easy to distinguish the causes of erectile dysfunction. Just answer these questions. Can you have or maintain an erection with one partner but you cannot do it with another partner? Or is it easier for you to get an erection during masturbation than when having sex with your partner? If your answers to these two questions are both 'yes', the probable cause of your erection problems is mental.
How can you cure this? Talk with your partner. Usually, if a couple has relationship problems, it can also affect sex. Is your relationship on a rock or do you feel stressed when having sex with her? So, resolve any issues first in your relationship and then see what impact it has on your sex life.
Other forms of psychological causes of erectile dysfunction are stress, tension, depression, anxiety, sexual boredom, and low sex drive. In these factors, what you can do is consult an expert who you can talk to about this and also sit and talk with your partner so he can give you the support you need.
Another cause of erectile dysfunction is physical factors. This accounts for 90 percent of erectile dysfunction. Examples of these factors are diabetes, hypertension, high blood cholesterol, heart disease, smoking, and poor circulation. Usually, drugs taken by men who have the disease can have severe effects on erectile dysfunction. However, you must keep your priorities. Would you rather have a great sex life or die of a heart attack? If you plan to take any medication for erection problems, consult your doctor first.
You also need to think about changing your lifestyle. Instead of buying all the erection drugs you can get, why not spend your time and efforts doing some exercise, planning healthy food, or stopping smoking seriously. Everything is up to you.
Try using a penis pump: a penis pump now has a very useful function, the times are getting more advanced so that Like Bathmate now the penis pump has also been combined with water to get more consistent and certainly stronger reckoning power.

What do the Super Bowl and Menopause have in common? Madonna!
We’re not your typical Super Bowl fans. But this Sunday, there’s something you may want to witness…Madonna, at age 53, will be performing during the halftime show! We hear pom poms will be involved so this may be your chance for 12 minutes of aerobic exercise.
Aerobic exercise is just about the best thing you can do to maintain that memory muscle… it’s no wonder Madonna still remembers all of those lyrics and choreography.
If this isn’t proof that life’s not over when you hit menopause, we don’t know what is!

The Earl Smith Strand Theatre presents a series of musical song and dance revues with three electrifying shows on rotation: Men of Motown, Diva! and Jukebox Giants. Dance through the ’50s through the ’80s in whatever order you choose.
The show features favorite classic songs and high-energy dance that will get patrons on their feet discoing and doo-wopping.
“The music for this show hits all of our favorites: rock from the ’50s through the ’80s, Motown music and a wide variety of diva showcase songs. We pack about 40-60 songs in per show so there is something for everyone,” said Cassi Costoulas, general manager of the Strand.
“The shows are fast paced and energetic, so it’s hard not to get caught up immediately. This cast genuinely is having a good time on stage, and they want you to join in their excitement,” said Catherine Moulton, production manager of the Strand.
Musical revues are popular with Strand audiences.
“Some of our most positive patron feedback comes from our music revues. The Strand will always be trying new events and different programming, but we are dedicated to the patrons’ favorites and keeping the tried and true going,” said Costoulas, a Marietta resident.
“The nice thing about growing our music revues is that we have regular cast members that have grown with us. We have some performers that have been in shows with us since our first Motown show in 2011,” Moulton explained.
Annual rotating summer shows are successful in theatres across the U.S.
“We’d love to make this a regular summer event: rotate shows for two months so that summer vacation plans don’t get in the way of getting a good dose of Strand entertainment,” Costoulas said.
“This cast is insanely talented. Performance arts majors from colleges across the country have come to Marietta for the summer to do these shows. We also have quite a number of local professionals involved that perform all over the city,” Costoulas said.
The show is appropriate for everyone.
“There aren’t many places around town where you can bring the whole family, grab snacks and drinks at the concession stand, bring those snacks into the theater and watch a live show that’s going to put an instant smile on your face,” Moulton said.
Tickets are $20 with a $15 price for students, seniors, military and groups of 10 or more. Shows rotate through June and July. For show times and tickets, visit earlsmithstrand.org or call the box office at (770) 293-0080.

The TCT Network acquires mass storage with Digital Broadcast���s MediaVault Archive
The TCT Network in Marion, IL, has recently incorporated a MediaVault Archive System into its Digital Broadcast MediaFire Automated Master Control System. Based on blue laser technology, the MediaVault provides the TCT Network with up to 35TB of archive storage.
MediaVault’s Blu-ray disks offer up to 50GB per media and storage libraries of up to 35TB of data and up to 14 parallel data streams with 72Mb/s each. Blu-ray media life is greater than 50 years without compromising playback quality, independent of the frequency of playbacks or the need for managed backups. The form factor of drive and media is identical to the CD/DVD format; however, the Blu-ray disk currently has 5 times the density per recording layer of a DVD.
Digital Broadcast’s MediaVault is an enhancement to the MediaFire system already operating at the TCT Network. With MediaFire, the central site in Marion has complete control and monitoring of the automated playout and satellite recording at the network’s stations in seven different locations. The individual stations, however, do have the ability to control the playout schedule locally, if that should become necessary.

The NCAA Woman of the Year award honors graduating female college athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in academics, athletics, service and leadership.
Stewart swept the 2016 national player of the year honors and is a two-time winner of the Wooden Award. She is also a three-time winner of the Naismith Trophy (Atlanta Tip-Off Club), Associated Press Player of the Year Award and the Ann Meyers Drysdale Award (USBWA). The North Syracuse, N.Y. native has also won the Wade Trophy (WBCA) in each of the last two season.
Stewart, who also won the Senior CLASS Award in 2016, finished her career as UConn's all-time leader with 414 career blocked shots and is second on the Huskies' all-time scoring list with 2,676 points.
On Dec. 9 Stewart became the only player in NCAA history to reach 300 career blocks and 300 career assists. She is also the seventh NCAA Division I women's player with 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, 200 assists, 200 steals and 200 blocks. She became the first player in NCAA history to be selected as the Final Four Most Outstanding Player four times. No other player has earned more than two Final Four MOP honors.
Along with Moriah Jefferson and Tuck, Stewart led the Huskies to four-straight national championships, six conference championships and a record 151 wins over the last four seasons. The trio led the Huskies to their record ninth-straight Final Four in 2015-16 and propelled UConn to 24-straight NCAA Tournament wins, surpassing the previous record of 21-consecutive NCAA Tournament victories which was held by Tennessee since 1999.
Tuck was honored as an All-American by the WBCA and earned second team stats from the Associated Press at the end of her senior season. A two-time American Athletic Conference First Team selection, Tuck finished her final year with an assist-turnover ratio of 2.1/1, which was the second-best mark in the league.
NCAA member schools have nominated 517 student-athletes for the 2016 Woman of the Year award.
Next, conferences assess their member school nominees and select up to two conference nominees. The Woman of the Year selection committee, made up of representatives from the NCAA membership, will then choose the top 30 honorees - 10 from each division.
From the top 30, the selection committee determines the top three honorees from each division and announces the nine finalists in September. The NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics then chooses from among those nine to determine the 2016 NCAA Woman of the Year.
The top 30 honorees will be celebrated and the 2016 NCAA Woman of the Year winner will be announced at the annual award ceremony Oct. 16 in Indianapolis.

Déjà Vu and Et Cetera
by Dick Kaser
It was as if time had stood still and progress had ground to a halt for the past 2 years.
When I returned to the Frankfurt Book Fair this fall for the first time since 2008, I arrived fully aware of the great irony of my assignment. In 2008, I had attended the “largest” meeting of publishers in Germany to cover the hottest topic on the block: how ebooks were poised to skyrocket.
As I made my way across the city to the book fair, it all seemed very reminiscent to me. After all, I was coming back to cover the very same story in 2010.
I waited until I finished my rounds on the fair floor, visiting exhibitors and interviewing execs, to review the coverage that I provided 2 years ago for Computers in Libraries magazine (January 2009). Honestly, except for a few changes to some charts (some ebook providers have merged in the intervening 2 years, and all collections have grown), what I wrote in 2008 pretty much still stands verbatim.
Publishers and libraries are still very interested in ebooks, titles in all fields are still on the rise (aided greatly by the 2007 adoption of the EPUB standard, which is now the de facto basis for pushing titles out to devices of all kinds), and various acquisition models are in place to encourage ebook collection development in all kinds of libraries.
All eyes are still focused on the growth curve and the rising percentage of the book business that has gone to this digital form.
David Bowers of Oxford University Press summed up the changes that took place from 2008 to 2010 neatly during an interview when he said: “In 2008 the ebook industry in America generated roughly $110 million. Last year that figure rose to somewhere in the range of $300 million. Through June or July, sales are about 190% higher this year than last. So the ebook business in America will be around $500 million this year. The US publishing industry is $30 billion, so ebooks might become 5%.”
Some of the people I spoke with put the number of ebook sales as high as 8% to 10% of the total this year, but it’s clear that to focus on ebooks is to miss 90% (give or take a percentage point) of what’s happening with publishing and information services.
Today, just as 2 years ago, the topic of ebooks still generates excitement and even hoopla. But in most cases, the publishing executives I spoke with were more interested in telling me how their companies have repositioned in the last 2 years in order to handle ebooks and to respond to market demands for digital content in all forms.
Some levels of this e-demand clearly reflect the challenging economic pressures. But user demand is driving some of the ongoing transition from print to digital resources, and a re-evaluation of organizational missions has also contributed to the doldrums from the last 2 years.
Ironically, my story in 2008 and my observations this year include the same twist. In addition to e-stuff, there’s still also a great deal of excitement around the topic of on-demand and custom printing. The more things change …
For consumers, statistics released by Amazon this past summer imply the same thing. While sales of digital products may be on the rise, the digital products aren’t replacing print. In fact, some may actually drive print sales.
So, though I may have gone to Frankfurt this year in search of the new “ebook story,” I came back with more or less the same story I shared with you 2 years ago.
But you don’t have to take my word for this. Just check out what the publishing execs said in the feature I’ve written for this issue, beginning on page 1.

Every type of gun imaginable can be found in homes across North America, but explosive ordnance like rockets and grenades are hardly ever seen, much less used, outside of the battlefield.
So the odds you'll ever need to know how to survive a grenade blast are slim to none, however the odds all the curious minds out there are now dying to know how to survive a grenade blast "just because" are great.
Didn't feel like watching the entire video for answers? Here's the strategy in a nutshell:
As they explain above, the shrapnel (or fragments) from the grenade is the most dangerous part, not the blast itself. So, if you see one fall to the ground near you, it’s time to hit the deck. Turn and face away from the grenade, get at least 15 feet away, then lay on your stomach with the flat parts of your feet pointing toward the grenade. That will significantly reduce the chance of shrapnel hitting you, and if it does, there’s a chance it will hit the soles of your shoes, not your flesh. Also, if you see one fall into the water you’re swimming in, get out—don’t dive deeper. In that case, the shrapnel won’t get you, but the pressure created by the blast will compress your lungs and do some serious damage.


By Daniel Chibuike
The Judicial Panel of Inquiry on the Recovery of Government Properties and Funds, led by Justice Florence Duruoha-Igwe (Rted), has entertained and cross-examined more cases brought before it by petitioners.
In the petition JP/REC/52/2023, a case filed by Samuel Expo against the Commissioner for Lands and Housing, the immediate past Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, and the former Chairman of Obingwa LGA, Mrs. Uloma Nwogu, Eze Adolphus Abakwe, and the traditional prime minister of Itungwa autonomous community, Samuel Ekpo, it was alleged that 300 hectares of land donated to Itungwa/Itukpa community primary school in Obingwa were being used for unauthorised structures.
The petition recalled how the former Executive Chairman of Obingwa allegedly informed them that the immediate past Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, intended to use part of the land for an automobile engineering workshop.
The panel also cross-examined a petition filed by Prince Goodwin Egbesie against the Commissioner for Petroleum and Mineral Resources, which raised concerns about illegal high-level fraud, illegal sand dredging, and impersonation in Ahuwa Oboro, Ikwuano LGA.
The petition alleged damage to farmlands and roads due to illegal sand dredging.
In another case, the panel cross-examined a petition filed by a spokesperson of the Abia State Ministry of Trade and Investment, Onyebuchi Nwankpa, against the GM of Methodological Complex Nig Ltd, Mr. Henry Nwaejike, which alleged the looting of government properties in a warehouse situated in Aba and the alleged non-remittance of funds into the government purse.
Also, over 70 disengaged lecturers and staff of Abia State Polytechnic Aba presented a petition regarding their dismissal between May 2015 and May 2023..
The lecturers claimed they were not notified of their termination until a month after rendering services.
But the Bursar of Abia Poly, Mr. Friday Omenihu, said that letters of disengagement were issued to the disengaged workers.
He told the panel that senior staff among the sacked workers received three months’ salaries, while junior staff were paid one month’s salary by the institution.
He listed the revenues received so far to be 5 billion, 117 million as subventions and 830 million, 405 thousand naira as bailout funds.
The bursar further stated that Abia Poly had cumulative IGR funds of 7 billion, 423 million, 260 thousand, and 850 Kobo between May 2015 and May 2023.
Mr Omenihu blamed a paucity of funds in the school for the disengagement of the workers from service.
But another staff of the Polytechnic, Mr Prince Okechukwu, defended the sacking of the Abia Poly staff, alleging that the petitioners did not meet the requirements for employment.
The Chairman of the Judicial Panel, Justice Florence Duruoha-Igwe (Retd), directed the Registrar of Abia Poly, Mrs Kelly Ahunanya, to make the school’s nominal roll between May 2015 and May 2023 available to the panel and adjourned the matter to November 16, 2023.
In another case, the Ppanel cross-examined a petition marked JP/REC/51/2023 filed by Mr Chidozie Ohiaogu against the director in charge of the local government services commission.
In the petition, Chidozie Ohiaogu challenged his sack from service since 2015.
But the respondent, Emenike Oji, said that the disengagement of 4,000 persons, including the petitioner, in the said year, was carried out by the previous administration in Abia State, and the disengagement message was conveyed by the former administration through a radio announcement.
Since it began sitting, the Abia State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Recovery of Government Properties and Funds has been busy receiving and addressing various petitions brought by aggrieved individuals and other concerned citizens.
The Judicial Panel was established by Governor Alex Otti in June with the mandate to receive and examine complaints and memoranda from individuals and corporate entities regarding the alleged looting or conversion of government properties, funds, and related matters.

CLAY COUNTY, Ind. -- Police arrested a Clay County couple after finding their 11-year-old daughter with special needs living in a shack in “deplorable” condition.
Community corrections officers first became aware of the home’s conditions on Aug. 18 when they attempted to conduct a home compliance check at the residence in the 3900 block of East County Road 1500 North.
No one was home at the time, but corrections officers reportedly noticed the home was in poor condition, with trash strewn about and raw sewage on the ground around the structure.
Police eventually obtained a search warrant for the home – described as a small, outbuilding shack-type building – and found numerous health hazards, including unprotected electrical outlets and wires, raw sewage and a lack of indoor plumbing.
Following an interview with police, the parents, 29-year-old Autumn Renee Stone Snodgrass and 36-year-old Stephen C. Snodgrass, were arrested on one count each of neglect of a dependent.
The 11-year-old girl was placed in foster care and was doing well, according to police.

The first one interprets the entrance portico on Hengshan Road like an external stage, a concave volume where guests can stop in the big sheltered hall.
The second one designs and elliptical courtyard embellished by a garden in its centre, connected visually and spatially to the lobby by means of big windows.
The baconies and the windows of the rooms overlook the garden, which is slightly raised with respect to the lobby to indicateits artificial nature and to reveal the hypogeal space with the wellness centre.
The roof of the hotel follows the perimeter of the courtyard and is characterized by another garden. Bamboo canes, palmettos and maples characterise this peaceful spot crossed by duckboards that lead the guests to private gazeboes where they can relax. This natural terrace commands a beautiful view of the quarter and of Shanghai skyline.
Hotel Twelve is a parallelepiped of five floors above ground. At the entrance of the hotel a spiral staircase leads to the upper floors above ground.
At the entrance of the hotel a spiral staircase leads to the upper floors that contain the restaurant, the lounge and the events space. The basements house the wellness centre, the indoor swimming pool and the lecture hall.
The facades are clad with terracotta tiles laid flat or an angle of 45 degrees. The choise of this natural material allows the hotel to integrate with the few historical buildings still present in the quarter.

Aladdin reopens on Broadway from Sept 28th! Learn more about Aladdin tickets and experience the magic and wonder of Aladdin at the New Amsterdam Theater on Broadway.
Based on the much-loved 1992 animated classic, the stage musical adaptation of Disney’s Aladdin officially opened at the New Amsterdam Theater on March 20, 2014. The production was nominated for five Tony Awards including best musical, with original cast member James Monroe Iglehart winning best performance by an actor for a featured role in a musical for his crowd-pleasing. , unstoppable portrayal of Genie. Other original cast members included Adam Jacobs in the title role, Courtney Reed as Princess Jasmine and Jonathan Freeman as Jafar.
As an animated classic, Aladdin is one of the cornerstones of what would become known as the Disney Renaissance Era, a period of time which restored Disney’s animation division to its former glories of creating successful animated musicals.
Aladdin features a score by Alan Menken, incorporating the movie’s music including “Arabian Nights,” “Prince Ali,” and the show-stopping “Friend Like Me.” There’s also new material as well as songs that unfortunately had to be cut from the film, such as Aladdin’s beautifully poignant ballad “Proud of Your Boy“.
The Broadway production also incorporates a dazzling total of 84 illusions and effects, with the awe-inspiring magic carpet ride during “A Whole New World” arguably as its crowning jewel. The spectacle also showcases 337 unique costumes and dynamic choreography, brimming with modern dance, tap, and Middle Eastern-infused influences, under the helm of Tony Award winner Casey Nicholaw.
Disney’s Aladdin is a theatrical explosion of color, which tells a universal story of love triumphing against all odds, and is a bona fide Broadway hit, suitable for all generations.

Anthony 'Tighto' Russell has won the heart of the nation, thanks to his incredible performance on this year's X Factor, but have you ever wondered where he got his nickname from?
Anthony, 28, is known by many as 'Tighto' thanks to his first appearance on the show in 2007.
A fresh-faced Anthony auditioned for the judges when he was just 17, singing Somewhere Beyond the Sea by Frank Sinatra.
Anthony's performance earned him the praise of Sharon, Louis and Dannii Minogue, and three yeses to get him through to the next stage of the competition.
But it was his conversation with the judges that revealed his moniker to the nation.
His first ever audition clip shows Anthony revealing he is better known as ‘Tighto,’ explaining: “My name’s Anthony, but they call me Tighto, because in junior school I was dead tight with my sweets.”
In the lead up to his big moment, Anthony boasts about his talent, telling crews he’s “going to blow everyone away” - which traditionally sets X Factor hopefuls up for a big fall.
He adds: “If I get famous everyone can all have my sweets. There’s nothing that can stop me now, I’m gonna smash its head in.
“I’m gonna blow everyone in the competition away, it’s all about this face now.”
Anthony may have left the competition that year, but everyone was quick to remember him in 2017 when he reappeared on the show.
After almost getting through to judges houses Anthony had to leave the competition last year "due to personal reasons", which saw him head to rehab for four months.
And after a year of being mentored by One Direction star Louis Tomlinson Anthony came back bigger and better than ever for this year's competition.
After the song, an elated Simon Cowell told 'Tighto': "I love you."
Anthony is now through to the quarter finals and is the bookies' third favourite to win the show - behind Dalton Harris and Shan.

IRS Releases Updated Publication on Employment Tax Audits
The IRS has released an updated version of Publication 5146 (Employment Tax Returns: Examinations and Appeal Rights). Among other things, the publication identifies common employment tax audit triggers, such as incorrect amounts detected by computer programs and information from compliance projects. The publication also explains where the IRS looks for information once an audit begins. In general, the IRS is authorized to contact neighbors, banks, employers, employees, or independent contractors once an audit commences. In addition, the publication features coverage of relief provisions that may apply if the IRS determines an employment tax deficiency. The revised publication can be found at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p5146.pdf .

OEBB Enrollment Moving Toward Cheaper Health Plans
The number of people who signed up for Moda Health’s coordinated care options through the Oregon Educators Benefit Board more than doubled this school year to nearly 38,000, up from 16,000 in 2015-2016.
Meanwhile, the number of people enrolled in OEBB’s health plan options from Kaiser Permanente rose from about 26,000 to 27,000.
The OEBB open enrollment period is during August and September, designed to coordinate with the new school year, even though OEBB now also offers health insurance to a handful of local government employees. The total enrollment was actually down from 132,000 to 129,000, but chief operating officer Heidi Williams said some of these people may have neglected to sign up during open enrollment and would be processed through the end of this month.
The total for the Moda Summit plan -- designed for the high desert of Eastern Oregon -- rose from 2,200 to 3,600 while the Moda Synergy plan, which directs patient care with the help of Salem Health and Oregon Health & Science University clinics, jumped from 14,000 to 34,000.
Moda offers OEBB lower premiums and out-of-pocket costs to members if they choose Synergy and Summit over the statewide Moda plan; the precise share of the costs that a teacher or other OEBB member pays is set by their school district or local jurisdiction. Moda can offer better rates for these plans by limiting networks to providers who agree to its primary care home model and share in the risks and rewards of keeping patients healthy.
For the first time, more than half of OEBB members also shifted away from comprehensive health plans and chose skimpier high-deductible plans as their share of the costs of traditional plans has increased.
While just 2 percent of members chose the Kaiser high-deductible plan, 26 percent chose a Moda high-deductible plan with a health-savings account while 24 percent chose a catastrophic plan without the account.
Only 4.8 percent chose the most comprehensive plan, although that was down from 5 percent last year. The richest plans are often chosen by high-level management employees who do not have to pay any portion of their premiums, while the most expensive plan is only available in Coos and Curry counties. The biggest shift was away from more moderately expensive plans, which fell from 36 percent of members to just under a quarter.
OEBB also made steady progress getting school districts to agree to a tiered-rate structure that sets different premium levels for families and individuals. This shift would help OEBB and school districts avoid the federal excise, or Cadillac tax, although Congress has delayed this punitive 40 percent tax until 2020, and may abandon it altogether.
The number of school districts with a tiered rate structure increased from 33 percent in 2008 to 43 percent in 2015 and up to 45 percent this year.
Director in Limbo
OEBB has been operating with Kathy Loretz as the acting director while James Raussen has been suspended with pay. Loretz is the director of the Public Employee Benefit Board and had been interim director until Raussen was hired last December.
Oregon Health Authority spokeswoman Susan Stigers would not comment on the Raussen situation, although The Oregonian reported that a Department of Justice investigation into Raussen’s activities is a personnel, and not a criminal matter.
Raussen previously came under security at the Chicago Comptroller’s office after the comptroller went to prison for bribery. Raussen was never implicated in any wrongdoing, but he did steer city of Chicago business to a company that supported his political campaigns when he served as an Ohio state representative from suburban Cincinnati.
A report cleared him of ethics violations and found the politically connected company had actually saved the city of Chicago money.
Raussen’s absence comes at an inopportune time for OEBB, which has been set to embark on a redesign of its contract. The board already delayed a new contract last year until they could hire their new director.

Wichita Collegiate senior Markus Phox broke his foot on Tuesday night and will most likely miss the rest of the basketball season.
Spartans head coach Mitch Fiegel confirmed the injury to Catch it Kansas Friday evening. Fiegel says that Phox will undergo surgery on Monday night when doctors will place a pin in his foot. The injury will keep him out approximately 6-8 weeks.
Fiegel says that time period would allow a 'remote possiblity' that Phox could return but there would be a lot of risk involved in allowing him to play.
Fiegel says, “It’s just one of those things that I don’t know why it happened. It doesn’t seem right. It has been a bummer.”
This is the second broken bone Phox has suffered while at Collegiate. He broke his collarbone during the 2011 football season.
Phox is on an official visit to Princeton today and Fiegel believes that if the visit 'goes even remotely well it's a done deal.' Fiegel added that he doesn't believe this broken foot will affect Phox's recruitment because it's not something like a torn ACL.

Website Access for Literacy Development in Individuals with Disability
"The aim of the project was to facilitate literacy development through access to World Wide Web sites that have been modified to accommodate limited literacy skills and physical access difficulties. The target group comprised individuals with physical and/or intellectual disability, often resulting in severe communication impairment (SCI), who had limitations in literacy skills (i.e., some word, sentence and text reading skills). The specific aim was to develop a model Website that (1) required basic literacy skills only; (2) incorporated a literacy training component; and (3) facilitated the use of varied alternative computer access techniques."
