EAST GREENSBORO (February 15, 2019) – The North Carolina A&T baseball team overcame first-game butterflies and the little foibles that come along with opening day to sweep a doubleheader from the Niagara Purple Eagles Friday evening at War Memorial Stadium.
The Aggies earned a come-from-behind 4-3 win in the first game before taking Game 2, 6-2 in a scheduled seven-inning game. The Aggies are 2-0 for the first time in six years.
Senior Dawnoven Smith was 2-for-2 with three RBI in the second game. Right-hand junior college transfer Evan Gates went five innings without giving up an earned run to get the win in his Aggies debut. But it was senior catcher Jarrett Norman who may have had the biggest hit of the game. After falling behind in the count 0-2, he launched a 2-2 pitch to center field to score two runs helping the Aggies break open the game on his way to a two-RBI game.
“I always worry about our opening days,” said N.C. A&T coach Ben Hall who led the Aggies to their first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title in 13 years last season. “We have not had good opening days since I’ve been here. But it’s all about getting the jitters and the kinks out. We still have some kinks to get out, but today we stuck with the game and we pitched well. When you pitch well, you’re going to give yourself a chance to win.”
Gates gave up two hits, struck out two and walked four in 88 pitches thrown. Another Aggies newcomer, freshman Gianni Smith pitched two innings of scoreless relief.
“I thought he looked good,” said Hall about Gates’ performance. “This was his first Division I baseball game. He’s got
The Aggies jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning thanks to a two-run RBI double from Smith. A sloppy third inning for the Aggies helped the Purple Eagles (0-2) get a run back in the third as the Aggies committed three errors in the inning. It was a groundball error at first base that allowed Dawson Bailey to score to cut the Aggies lead to one run.
N.C. A&T responded nicely in the third as junior Jason King opened the inning by being hit with a 2-2 pitch. Senior A.J. Hunt laced a single to center field and the Purple Eagles pretty much pitched around Smith to load the bases. A wild pitch by Niagara starter Ben Erwin allowed King to score before Norman’s RBI-double gave the Aggies a 5-1 lead.
“We made a lot of mistakes in the box, but we did hit on a few,” said Hall. “We had a couple of
We have to be better with two strikes. Our swings were too big because there were guys trying to do too much in the first game. But that was a great at-bat by Jarrett and those are the type of things we can build on.”
Erwin took the loss. The two teams are scheduled to play the third game of the series 3 p.m., Saturday at War Memorial.

Texas cattle quarantined over mad cow rulesgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Grassroots Information Coordination Center (GICC) : One Thread
fair use etc
Texas cattle quarantined over mad cow rules "WASHINGTON -- U.S. health regulators said today they had quarantined some cattle in Texas while officials investigate whether a feed mill violated rules designed to prevent the spread of mad cow disease.
A Food and Drug Administration spokesman said the agency, in its first such action, was probing whether the cattle were accidentally fed meat and bone meal made from other U.S. cattle.
"There's a possibility that bone meal derived from U.S. cattle may have been mixed with a feed supply and later fed to cattle," FDA spokesman Lawrence Bachorick said, adding he could not disclose the name of the feed mill or how many cattle were involved.
"To date, no cases of (mad cow disease) have been confirmed in the U.S. Nevertheless, the cattle here are being kept in isolation until we can determine whether they are fit for human consumption," Bachorick said.
This was the first time FDA had quarantined cattle for possible violations of mad cow safeguards, Bachorick said.
FDA regulations prohibit cattle from being fed meat and bone meal made from other ruminant animals that could carry mad cow, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or a related disease. Scientists believe cattle can get the brain-wasting disease if they eat the remains of other infected animals.
Shares of fast-food giant McDonald's Corp. fell more than 7 percent today after the news, which also sent livestock futures lower.
FDA officials said last month that some feed mills were not fully complying with labeling and record-keeping rules designed to prevent mad cow from spreading through the food supply if it does appear in U.S. animals. Officials promised to crack down on operators who were not following the rules.
The Texas feed mill involved in the quarantine notified the FDA as soon as it realized it may have violated the agency's rules, Bachorick said.
The human form of mad cow disease, known as new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, has killed more than 80 people in Britain and cases of BSE have been appearing in many European countries."

I felt like a five year old in her big sister’s clothes. The leggings were too long. They came up to my collarbone, and dragged on the ground. The coat, a combination of raingear and personal flotation device (lifejacket for those of us who don’t like techhie terms) hung way past my fingertips and felt lined with lead. But it was bright red, which I liked, and before the afternoon was over, I was really glad I had them. We climbed aboard the boat, and it cruised out of the harbour. I tried to pinpoint the landmarks I knew so well from the landward side of the city. As we cleared the last of the harbour and moved out into the open water, my attention was taken by the sky. It was a cloudy day promising rain, and the cover was layered and multifaceted. To the west, heavy black clouds blotted out most of coastal Washington, and dimmed the light of the day. To the north east the sky lightened and brilliant sun shone in a clear blue sky, its light winking and shattering on the sea. Between them, almost over us, in a thick grey spear, a lower cloud layer pointed straight at the Port Angeles coastline, slanting down to sea level at its apex, just on the coast.
We skimmed over the water for an endless time – a time of simply being – seeing the sky and the dull grey water, the land misty and distant, smelling salt and engine oil, hearing the roar of the engine and the occasional voices of the others on the boat, feeling the wind on my face – not a gentle breeze, not at 30 kph or so, this was a hard stream of air buffeting my cheeks and forehead. The salt spray tasted like cold tears when I licked my lips. It was as if I were back in my childhood, sitting in the boat on the way to the cottage. I had forgotten the peace of those trips, how serene it was to be on the water, away from everything but the senses.
We noticed a flotilla of zodiacs in the distance to the west of us, travelling at speed, and our captain, Chris, slowed down to let them pass in front of us, then swung round so our course followed theirs. Al and I speculated about what they were – they were far enough that we couldn’t see any markings, just stick figures in them – black and white and grey at that distance. Then we noticed the helicopters circling an anchored, unmarked ship – the zodiacs were headed for them. We’d stumbled upon some kind of military boarding exercise, and watched in fascination as the zodiacs circled and the helis dropped down close to the deck of the ship. The heli’s underside dropped strands with swarming, sliding figures and within seconds, the men were down and moving around on the ship, the heli lifting away and the second chopper moved in to drop its load.
We kept moving until they were dots in the far distance and according to the map, we were just a little past Oak Bay – our naturalist pointed out San Juan Island ahead of us. We slowed down, then stopped and the engines cut out. We drifted, waiting, and I counted four other whale watching boats in the area. I could see nothing – no dorsal fins cut the surface, no massive breaching or sprays. But I didn’t care. Just being out here and enjoying the day was enough – whales would be icing on the cake. Then the woman next to me nudged her partner and said she’d seen an Orca swim under the boat. The naturalist confirmed it, and sure enough, a few yards out, a dorsal fin and part of a black and white back broke the surface. After that, we saw a number of them – two or three popped out to take a look around and a few breached – leaped out of the water and smashed back down, sending spray everywhere.
As the weather caught up with us, we turned and headed back the way we came. The wind came first, adding to that caused by our speed, and colder than it had been since we left the harbour. The sea roughened up and we bounced hard over the swells, up and down, to and fro, our bodies swaying and lifting as the boat traveled over the water. I was glad when the naturalist handed out the wool caps. Even with that, and the heavy rain gear, with my own layers underneath, the cold seeped through and my fingers were red and stiff. The rain felt like hail on my face as we traveled west and south, past the entrance to the harbour, and kept on toward, on land, Metchosin and Sooke. After another endless colder time we slowed again. Looking for humpbacks this time. I was sure I wouldn’t catch sight of them when they broke the surface, they are a dull brown, almost the same colour as the water, and their dorsal fins are small and close to their backs. And it seemed so, since all the others were catching glimpses and seeing the fins, but I still didn’t care – I’d seen the Orcas, how much more joy could you fit into one afternoon? Yet, I did see two or three, and caught the tail of one as it dove deep – the flutes flipping up and then slipping into the water as it dove deep.
There was one more gift – one the crew didn’t expect. On the last leg toward Race Rocks, we could hear seagulls screaming in the distance, and a boil of them on the surface of the water. It was a herring run, and thousands of seabirds had gathered to feast on them. So Chris slowly and carefully piloted the boat into the mass of birds – birds overhead, on the water, lifting off and settling down. Never staying still for a moment – it was a literal boil of birds. At the epicentre, in a tiny circle no more than three or four birds across, we could see the silver fish flipping and darting below the surface – all this for two feet of fish? I wondered how deep the school went, or if these were the final survivors after hours of feeding frenzy. Still, we pulled away and within minutes we were literally covered by gulls. They flew only three or four feet above our heads, and were so thick we couldn’t see the sky for them.
Race Rocks was another joy – California sea lions and Arctic? Sea Lions on their migrations – this is one of two areas in the world where the migration routes overlap. They lolled on the islands, huge fur covered mound of blubber looking awkward and clumsy and regal. But swimming, they were dancers, darting, gliding twisting or just cutting through the fast currents as if they owned the sea.
After that it was back to the harbour, and a cup of hot chocolate waiting for us. Tired, wind burned and full of serene joy at the glory of the day.

Today the Trump administration said it will bar entry to the US of foreign nationals who’ve recently been to China. The temporary measure, which will throw many a travel plan into disarray, comes in response to a rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak that has sickened thousands of people around the world and killed hundreds in China, where it originated in the central city of Wuhan.
The restriction will go into effect Sunday (Feb. 2) at 5pm, applying to any foreign national who has been in China in the last 14 days, said Alex Azar, secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary, at a White House media briefing.
An exception will be made for immediate family of US citizens and permanent residents, he said, but a mandatory 14-day quarantine awaits US citizens who’ve traveled to China’s Hubei Province within the last two weeks. Before this a federal quarantine order hadn’t been issued since the 1960s.
Azar added that Americans returning from other parts of China will face screening at select ports of entry and be asked to perform a 14-day “self-isolation” period at home, with local health officials monitoring their condition.
Azar also said the US was declaring a public health emergency over the virus.
All flights from China will be diverted to seven airports: San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Atlanta, O’Hare in Chicago, and John F. Kennedy in New York.
Today the US State Department also warned Americans to avoid all travel to China due to the outbreak.

Strengthened development planning process will contribute to Mongolia's sustainable development goals and the development of more sustainable and inclusive urban centers in Mongolia. The TA is listed as 2017 firm project in the country operation and business plan for Mongolia, 2017 -2019.|
|Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy||
In 1950, only 20% of Mongolians lived in urban areas. Since then, Mongolia has experienced rapid rural urban migration, especially after it made the transition from central planning to a market-based economy in 1991. In 2018, the urban population represents 70% of the country's 3 million inhabitants (the average urbanization ratio in Asia is 50%). Except for the cities of Darkhan and Erdenet (each with about 80,000 people), most of the aimag (province) capitals and towns have a population of less than 25,000. Rural urban migration has formed substandard peri-urban settlements around cities, called ger (traditional tent) areas, which have spread and expanded through successive migration waves. Migration has been driven by the loss of millions of livestock because of extreme weather events resulting in droughts and severe winter conditions (dzuds) and general loss of livestock productivity caused by poor pasture management, overgrazing, and poor veterinary services.
Since families have moved to larger urban centers, like Ulaanbaatar, aimag centers, and other soums (subdistricts), the provision of adequate urban services has lagged. The outdated urban planning system is not conducive to the uptake and introduction of more inclusive city planning models, innovative and more sustainable technologies, and the application of greener construction methods. Residents of ger areas (i) use inefficient individual stoves to burn low- quality coal and live in low energy-efficient shelters, making ger areas a hot spot for carbon dioxide and other air pollution emissions; (ii) rely on open pit latrines, which create severe soil pollution impacting residents' health especially when temperatures rise; and (iii) have limited access to water supplied by water kiosks. Ger areas are highly prone to flooding in summer (June to August) because of their extensive system of muddy roads and the lack of a buffer zone and drains.
n its Sustainable Development Vision 2030, the Government of Mongolia pledged to provide greater independence to urban areas and settlements; build roads, transportation, and engineering infrastructure; create a healthy, safe, and comfortable living environment for citizens; and improve urban planning in line with world-class green development models. Under this objective, the government committed to develop the green development standards for urban development, build infrastructure that meets the green development model, redevelop Ulaanbaatar and other urban areas and settlements, and reduce heat loss in buildings by 20%.
This objective cannot be achieved with the current urban planning codes, norms, and standards, which were last updated in 2004. These codes are linked to a development strategy that was striving to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (i.e., economic development and poverty reduction) without emphasizing green development as laid out in the SDGs, especially SDG 11 and SDG 13.

Organic Raw Goji Berries
What is it?
A small bright red-orange fruit that is similar in size with raisins, it has a sweet-sour taste comparable to dates and cherries. It has a mild herb-like aftertaste which could have added to the reason why it is considered a herb.
Goji berries can be found in China, the Himalayas and other parts of Asia and Europe. But it could be seen growing wild and in abundance in the hillsides right between Mongolia and Tibet where the best condition for goji berry-growing is ideal. There, where the soil is rich in nutrients, Tibetan goji berries thrive producing fruits that are plump, with a deep red color and a rich, sweet taste.
Raw goji berries have been around for a long time. It has been utilized by the Chinese for over 2,000 years. One of the earliest records found about this fruit was in a book titled “Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing” in the year 250 BC. The book—considered the oldest existing Chinese book on herbs—has been written by the Chinese emperor, Shen Nong. It detailed the agricultural and medicinal uses of all the different herbs he knew—goji berries included.
What are its nutritional content and health benefits?
Although not all health claims of goji berries are backed by scientific studies, health experts agree on one thing: goji is a powerhouse of antioxidants, amino acids, phytochemicals, complex compounds, polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals. It has 18 amino acids—eight of them essential ones. It has 13% more protein than whole wheat, 15X more iron than spinach, more beta-carotene than carrots, and more Vitamin C per ounce than oranges. Goji berries even contain Vitamin E which can rarely be found in fruits.
Because this fruit is rich in antioxidants, it also helps protect the eyes from age-related macular degeneration and vision loss. Goji berries are known to have a high absorbance capacity (ORAC or Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity value) which is why it is considered the most powerful anti-ageing food in the world.
What makes our goji berries different?
However, not all goji berries are created equal. The difference in the quality of the final product begins early:
The key to producing a quality final product starts with growing the crops well, so that plump, flawless and naturally sweet and tasty fruits are produced. Careful handling and proper processing are also factors we do not neglect because it is our aim to provide organic dried goji berries that are of the very best quality.
Whether it’s used for baking, sprinkled in yoghurt and cereals, garnished in salads, mixed in tea and other drinks, or even eaten directly from the bag (yes, it is that good!), our customers can recognize the superior taste and quality of our goji berries.
Where and how much can we deliver?
Impact Foods can provide our high quality organic raw goji berries in bulk, private label and white label in the UK and all over Europe. We can handle everything from 20kg orders to container loads.

The question of family size and its implications for our race is a huge topic. Far too big a topic to cover in one blog post.
Let’s consider one aspect briefly – and that is our society’s changing expectations and behaviour in terms of child bearing.
Before the advent of contraception – one of those wonderful (I am being sarcastic) gifts to the world from Jewish scientists – a White woman on average had about 8 children in her lifetime. Rarely indeed would any of them be mixed race.
As we all know by now, the current birth rate of White women having White children is approximately at an average of one (with an official replacement rate being needed of 2.1) by now. One White child per White woman. And since this is not at all evenly distributed it means roughly half of White women are not having any White offspring at all, especially the most well educated. They are either producing non-Whites or nothing. And other White women are producing much-needed broods of White children, enough to make it that our race is currently halving with each generation.
- One in five UK women will not have children, many by choice
- Among female graduates, this rises to one in three according to some studies
Last year in Britain the government decided that these women who were having more than two children would have to be strongly deterred. So child benefits have been stopped for any more than two children. That will certainly reduce the number of White children until such time as there are enough families that would be prepared to suffer any amount of poverty and “shaming” in order to do the right thing. It will be hard, but the rewards are more than worth the effort.
In the past when there was Victorian style poverty at least we wouldn’t have the state trying to take kids into “care” as they would probably try to now if parents seem to be struggling to find room for them or end up using a food bank from time to time, and at least there were jobs available to all the fathers, while now the immigrants can take most of the jobs and work for a wage that sustains only an individual. Plus the childless women in the workforce depriving fathers of work and driving down wages as well.
Social expectations are lagging behind this – partly because people are unable to mentally process the facts of the dilemma. This is why the Daily Mail article this week about a woman who has wanted to be sterilised since childhood, refers to women not wanting babies as “one of the last taboos“.
It may well be that women who go about proclaiming they never want a child are regarded with disgust, but the media heaps more disgust on those who have big families. The taboo is applied to having a good size family, which is now regarded as being “selfish”, while being an individualist who needs no social support is regarded as not being selfish and encouraged – even when that individual cares nothing for the future of the society – only their success in their isolated bubble of competitiveness.
Many people who are on “the right wing” – “conservatives” etc are part of this nasty anti-social group that feel that anyone else’s child takes from their taxes and are even less inclined to have offspring that would cramp their style even more.
We Creators are not “right wing” and we proudly proclaim that we are Racial Socialists. We believe in the collective racial and societal good of the White Race. We say that we must obey the Golden Rule of Creativity “What is Good for the White Race is the Highest Virtue, and what is Bad for the White Race is the Ultimate Sin“. So there has to be an attitude of give and take where we support the expansion of our race and encourage our women to have as many healthy White children as they can, as Nature intends, and for our men to help the women in this noble endeavor to the best of their abilities.
The demographic trend is disheartening, but it can be reversed. The reversal will happen when the presently small number of White families that have the genetic trait of having a high fertility and love of children slowly grows to become the new norm. Let the defectives who lack such instinct die off. Such is the process of Natural Selection. We can evolve an upgraded White Race with the health, the will and the strength to repopulate.
Coming together with the uncompromising love from the Church of Creativity we will support each other and we will avoid the fate of those who are sleepwalking into darkness and despair.
The future will be a Whiter and Brighter world.

CruiseOMaitc kickdown questions
My wife's 1960 coupe is (mechanically) non-original. I never researched the numbers, but the motor looked like a crate replacement, all blue, top to bottom. Runs great. When the trans needed a rebuild (reverse pawl), it came back with a vacumn line that was never there before. Of course, it shifts completely differently now with the VM hooked up. This forum tells me there was no vacumn modulator on the '60. So this is at least a '61 trans.
Here's the hitch. Along with all the unknown components, there's a homemade looking throttle setup. It's brazed up from some original parts, like the 'boomerang' base, the cross shaft and pedal rod. But all three connections (foot feed, carb, AND kickdown) are solid on the cross shaft. That is, they all 3 work in unison, without that slotted part with the spring that (I think) is for kickdown. (Correct me if that's not what it is.) Looking at pictures, it looks like the driver has to stretch that spring past the full throttle stop to get kickdown to second gear. Now, the car kicks down before full throttle, and it actually slows down. I can't adjust it out. The kickdown comes in before the R's are up. Questions: Am I thinking half way right? Do I need to get linkage with the 1960 kickdown gizmo? Maybe it wasn't used past 1960 on the VM trans and the later VM trans is correct without it? Anybody got a 61? With a spring. Or no spring? Ideas?
Thanks, Mike S.

Woven City on Mt. Fuji is the Toyota City of the Future
At this year’s CES event in Las Vegas, Toyota revealed that it plans to build a unique city prototype at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan. Called Woven City, this Toyota city of the future will leverage fuel-cell technology to create an interconnected ecosystem that Toyota calls a “living laboratory.”
“Building a complete city from the ground up, even on a small scale like this, is a unique opportunity to develop future technologies, including a digital operating system for the city’s infrastructure,” says Toyota Motor Corporation President Akio Toyoda.
Woven City will be designed by Bjarke Ingels, whose Bjarke Ingels Group has designed everything from 2 World Trade Center to Google HQ in London and Mountain View. The city will be fully sustainable and make full use of robotics and artificial intelligence to benefit residents. Fully autonomous, all-electric Toyota vehicles like the Toyota e-Palette will provide transportation.
The Toyota city of the future concept is expected to accommodate 2,000 people at the jump, which will include industry partners, scientists, retailers, and Toyota employees and retirees. The groundbreaking is expected to take place early next year.
Interested in the future of automotive? Toyota is at the forefront, and you’ll see why and how when you visit Wondries Toyota.


Cheyenne, WY. – Early in the month of April, the Wyoming Highway Patrol was highlighting their coverage of Interstate 80, and came out with successful results, seizing more than 250 pounds of illegal drugs and making multiple arrests from April 10th through the 15th. According to their reports, the patrol says they had troopers with K-9 teams in Cheyenne, Laramie, Rawlins, Rock Springs and Evanston, which resulted in 21 drug related felony charges and 13 drug related misdemeanor charges being filed. Ten more non-drug related felony and misdemeanor arrests were also made, which included two sex offenders in violation of sex offender registry requirements. Also, one missing male was found and reunited with his family and one child was taken into protective custody.

On September 22, 2020, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued a new proposed rule that would substantially simplify the test for determining whether persons are employees or independent contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Because the FLSA does not actually define “employee,” courts have traditionally filled the void by applying an “economic realities” test that balances several factors. But in issuing a new proposed rule, the DOL noted that the current balancing test is difficult to apply, creates confusion, and is out of step with modern technology and working relationships.

On August 19, the Ninth Circuit delivered the latest guidance in the long-running debate over the Federal Arbitration Act’s (FAA) scope. It held that Amazon delivery drivers can move forward with a nationwide class action — in court, not arbitration — because they fall within the FAA’s transportation worker exemption.
The case, Bernadean Rittmann v. Amazon.com, Inc., et al, Case No. 19-35381, dealt with a “last mile” delivery driver through Amazon’s app-based delivery program, Amazon Flex (AmFlex), who occasionally crossed state lines, but completed most deliveries intrastate. Upon starting work, the driver signed an agreement requiring him to bring claims against Amazon in arbitration.

Etanercept, a tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitor for arthritis treatment, may have delayed the development of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction in a Covid-19 patient with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a local medical case report showed.
The report, written by a research team led by Professor Lee Sang-jin at the Rheumatology Department of Kyungpook National University’s School of Medicine, was published in the Journal of Korean Medical Science with the title of “Olfactory and Gustatory Dysfunction in a COVID-19 Patient with Ankylosing Spondylitis Treated with Etanercept: Case Report.”
The researchers said a female AS patient, who had been treated with etanercept, reported a loss of smell and taste after contracting the Covid-19 virus.
The patient was diagnosed with AS in March 2017. According to the report, her symptoms abated after receiving nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs such as sulfasalazine and methotrexate.
After contacting a Covid-19 patient, she was diagnosed with Covid-19 on March 3. Earlier, she received the last etanercept injection on Feb. 20.
She self-isolated on March 3, the day she got confirmed with the virus infection. During her self-isolation, on March 25, she had AS symptoms and self-administered etanercept. After testing negative for Covid-19 on April 6 and 7, she was released from isolation.
However, on April 5, she felt a decreased sensation of taste, including sweet, salty, and sour taste, and visited a neurologist for an objective examination.
During the exam, she could perceive the smell of ground coffee beans. However, after an administration of 50 percent dextrose water, the doctor could identify moderately decreased smell intensity and severely disturbed sweet taste. Her other cranial nerves were normal, and a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no abnormalities.
The research team speculated the use of the TNF-alpha inhibitor after Covid-19 infection could have delayed the dysfunction of smell and taste.
“Hypotheses for pathologic mechanisms of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction during COVID-19 infection are not clear. However, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors seem to have a key role,” the research team said.
Although TNF-alpha inhibitors should be discontinued during severe infections, etanercept was reported to have a protective effect on olfactory inflammation in a mouse model, the researchers noted.
“Etanercept treatment in inducible olfactory inflammation mouse showed functional and histological recovery by inhibiting TNF-alpha induced inflammatory cascade,” the medical team said.
However, it is unclear whether etanercept positively or negatively affects the course of COVID-19 in humans, especially the development of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction, until more studies come out, they added.

There are those operas that you just can’t spoil and Les Dialogues des Carmélites is one of them. For Poulenc, melody is the centre of the universe. His music is so poignantly beautiful and his composition so expressive that you don’t really need a director.
The opera’s themes are sacrifice, martyrdom, revolutions and ideologies, but those are just the side lines, because the main theme is an all-devouring fear that makes it impossible to live or die: “Fear is a terrible disease. I was born of fear, in fear I live and in fear I shall die. Everyone despises fear, so I am condemned to be despised.
Vienna, 2008 and 2011
In 2011, Oehms released a ‘Zusamennschnitt’ of performances of Dialogues des Carmélites, recorded live at the Theater an der Wien in January 2008 and April 2011.
Sally Matthews is a very moving Blanche, girlish but with just enough personality to give her character a bit more body. Occasionally whiny too – Blanche to the full.
Deborah Polaski is irresistible as Madame de Croissy and Michelle Breedt is a more than impressive Mère Marie. Just because of her fantastic achievement it is regrettable that this performance (the wonderful Carsen production!) was not released on DVD!
The ORF Orchestra under Bertrand de Billy plays the stars from the sky. Firm, where necessary, and whisper-soft when needed. (Oehms OC 931)
Speaking of Robert Carsen: for me, his production of Dialogues des Carmélites is one of the absolute highlights in the history of De Nationale Opera in Amsterdam.
In February 2004, the production was filmed at La Scala but I am not entirely happy with it. My disappointment mainly relates to Dagmar Schellenberger’s performance as the lead role.
Admittedly, it is not easy to emulate the unforgettable Susan Chilcott (she died in 2003 of breast cancer, only 40 years old), and Schellenberger indeed cannot not do it. In the beginning her strong tremolo and her not always pure notes are irritating.. But as the opera progresses, she gains a great deal of credibility, and through her brilliant acting and complete abandonment, she makes the development of her character very tangible. And almost as a matter of course, her singing also becomes more beautiful and softer.
The role of Madame de Croissy is played by one of the best singing actresses of our time, Anja Silja. Her performance is truly breathtaking, and even though her voice is not that steady anymore – it suits the character of an old and mortally ill prioress very well. Her death struggle makes for unprecedentedly thrilling theatre, and it is a great credit to Carsen (and the rest of the cast) that the scenes that follow do not make us lose interest.
Muti conducts with verve and knows exactly how to strike the right tone. He really succeeds in translating the spectre of the revolution and its excesses into sound. He is at his very best, however, in the lyrical, contemplative scenes, and in his hands the chilling ending reaches a truly blood-curdling climax. Make sure you have a big bag of Kleenex within reach, because you really won’t keep it dry (Arthaus 107315).

Ozzy Osbourne, the "Prince of Darkness" came on Good Morning America on Tuesday morning and exclusively spoke to Robin Roberts about his recent health struggles.
In the interview, the musician explained that he was diagnosed with a form of Parkinson's disease last February after suffering a fall and needing neck surgery.
Ozzy, now 71, was visibly shaken when he revealed his diagnosis and talked about what the last 12 months have been like for him and his family.
Ozzy Osbourne is suffering from Parkinson's disease
"It's been terribly challenging for us all," Osbourne told GMA. "I did my last show New Year's Eve at The Forum. Then I had a bad fall. I had to have surgery on my neck, which screwed all my nerves."
His wife Shannon Osbourne, 67, elaborated on the rocker's illness: "It's PRKN 2," said Sharon. "There's so many different types of Parkinson's; it's not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination, but it does affect certain nerves in your body."
"And it's...it's like you have a good day, a good day, and then a really bad day." Now we know why Ozzy postponed his world tour and has been living a rather secluded life for the last year.
He also explained that he just had to come clean after the last 12 months: "I'm no good with secrets," Osbourne said. "I cannot walk around with it anymore 'cause it's like I'm running out of excuses, you know?"
We certainly wish the heavy metal legend all the best for the future!

We saw a good number of crew teams practicing in the bay.
I also saw quite a few sea lions in the bay. I saw this one floating and was worried something was wrong with it but, after an internet search, I learned that the behavior below is called jug handling where the sea lion is raising their fins above water to warm themselves.

A friend came down from the LA area and took us up the Laguna Beach.
We'd hope to hit the tide pools....but it was high tide. I know where to go next time we visit and the tide is out.

I get asked this question quite a bit. I like photography and I’m a bit of a gear head, so I understand why. I definitely prefer it to other questions that I’ve complained about in the past.
When I think about cameras, and what’s the ‘right’ camera, this is the way I look at it. Ultimately, it comes down to who is going to be using the camera and what they’re going to use it for.
For most users, the best camera is a small point-and-shoot style camera and I happen to be a fan of the Canon PowerShot line. A quick look on B&H Photo shows this model, a Canon SD1200 – a 10 megapixel camera with image stabilization, a nice zoom range, of course it shoots videos and all of the other whiz-bang features you’d expect – and it all fits easily in a pocket (we’re talking shirt pocket here) all for less than $230. This is a camera that most people will be able to carry with them everywhere (which is the most important thing you need in ANY camera) and it will take really great shots.
A few years ago I stopped carrying my compact point-and-shoot camera for a slightly larger ‘rangefinder’ size point-and-shoot, also from Canon – the Canon G10. This allows me a lot more control over the image capture process for only a slightly larger frame. This one doesn’t do shirt pockets (or even pants pockets really) but it will do a jacket pocket or cargo-pants pocket just fine.
Slightly larger, is a class of camera that I really like for people who want a ‘better camera’ (read: they think they want an SLR) but are really just looking for (without knowing it) a larger image sensor and larger lens. They don’t want any of the manual controls or exchangeable lenses of an SLR. A great camera in this class is (staying with the Canon name, for no particular reason) the Canon SX 10 IS. For our trip to Africa, I bought Meghan a camera from this class (a Panasonic) and she took some great photos – which she wouldn’t have gotten with an awkward SLR, or with her point-and-shoot.
Finally, there’s the 4th class of camera, the SLR. This is what most people think of when they want a ‘good camera’ but I really don’t think it’s a great match for most users. It’s the SUV of the camera world – the big honker that everyone thinks they want but nobody uses it for what it was designed. If you’re just going to get a single cheap lens and use that all the time, you’re just as well off getting a nice camera like the Canon SX 10 IS or equivalent.
Now, I realize that there are more than just these 4 categories (there are ultra-compacts and mini-SLRs (a form-factor I’m intrigued by) but for the most part those are fringes that won’t suit most people.
Finally, for anyone looking for a camera, two sites that I think do a nice job of providing reviews: Imaging Resource and DP (Digital Photography) Review. Imaging Resource has, for a long time, offered Dave’s Picks which just makes simple, straight-forward recommendations based on different categories (by camera type, by user type, etc.,). Looking now, I see they also have a fancy My Product Advisor application that I can’t vouch for.
DP Review offers really thorough reviews of cameras and their features and limitations. It’s probably way more info than most people need though – so I would recommend just navigating to the ‘conclusion’ page where they write up a nice summary of their findings.
