We were met at Kings Island On Thursday with a storm wanting to roll in and dump its vengeance… Being the regulars we are, we didn’t let a few rain drops stop us. We went in and enjoyed the bumper cars and a few rounds on the carousel before the rain let up enough for us to walk to Boo Blasters and then get over to Diamondbacks shelter before it dumped again. After that it was beautiful non-wet sailing
We had actually ventured to the park today for the sole purpose of checking out their new Dinosaurs Alive exhibit, but the rain hindered it opening by the time we got there. We found out at 8pm (after the park lines were closed) that if you had bought a ticket, they were still honoring them, and were letting you go through (kudos +1 KI!) If I had known that I would have gone to the little automated ticket kiosk and gotten one earlier when it was closed 😦 So you’re just getting a taste of what it looks like from the outside. Which is still kinda neat. They went a little all out for it. I’m hoping it will still be worth the $5.
Now the actual walking into the attraction could use some work… or maybe we just need to give it some time for the wood to wear down and actually look more blended in….

Sokoto State is in Northwestern Nigeria. Geologically, it represents parts of the south eastern sector of the Iullemmedan basin and it contained important phosphorite deposits. Field study and sampling from the type locality in Sokoto cement industry indicates that the phosphate rock varies in size and colour, occurring in beds and disseminations majorly in the Sokoto Group of sediments. The field data, geology, pedology and elevation data for Sokoto state was reclassified using geospatial analysis to access their suitability for phosphate rock prospecting, ranking from the highly suitable to the highly unsuitable. These data was now incorporated as one for spatial analysis and together with result from geochemical analysis of the phosphates rock was used to produce the suitability map for phosphates rock in Sokoto State. Result indicates that, Gwadabawa, Dange, Wurno, Shagari, Wamakko, Sokoto North, Sokoto South, Kware, Bodinga and Illela Local Government Areas (LGA’s) provides major sites for phosphates prospecting and therefore very suitable. Geochemistry indicates average phosphates (P2O5) contents to be 33.89%; a very acceptable grade for raw phosphate rock. Final validation of study is based on the geospatial overlay of the sampled area and the suitable area on the map which gave a very good match.

EXPIRED: 08/30/09 – Elizabeth Mary Leen, 78, a good Irish mum, took care of her clan. When one was stalked, attacked & stabbed, she spent nearly 30 years ensuring the bastard never got out of jail. She died just 3 yrs after his disappointing parole.
Leen, who was born in Causeway, County Kerry, Ireland but was an Oak Lawn, Illinois resident, became an advocate for victims’ rights after her daughter Mary was viciously attacked at the local Oak Lawn Sheraton Inn in 1976. Mary, who survived the attack, was just 19 at the time.
Maurice Childs was later convicted for that attack and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Leen appeared at each of the 16 parole hearings for Childs. As Mrs. Leen got older, the Prisoner Review Board moved hearings closer to her home so she didn’t have to travel to distant prisons. She continued to go door to door or stand outside local businesses, gathering signatures opposing Childs’ release. Unfortunately, Childs was eventually released in May of 2006 after 28 years in prison.
“Oh Mary, I’m so sorry he got out,” Leen told her daughter, who by this time was a 47 year old mother of four.
Mary assured her she had done everything a mother could do.

Growth in the euro area bank lending continued to weaken and the narrow measure of money supply contracted for the first time on record, reflecting the impact of monetary policy tightening.
The annual growth rate of credit to the private sector slowed to 3.8 percent from 4.3 percent in December, the European Central Bank reported Monday.
Similarly, adjusted loans to the private sector climbed 4.9 percent, weaker than the 5.4 percent rise in December.
Loans to both households and businesses weakened further in January. The growth rate in loans to households eased to 3.6 percent from 3.8 percent and that to non-financial corporations slowed to 6.1 percent from 6.3 percent.
The M3 monetary aggregate grew 3.5 percent from the last year, slower than the 4.1 percent increase in December.
The annual growth slowed for the fourth straight month to hit the lowest rate since November 2014. This was also weaker than economists’ forecast of 3.9 percent.
At the same time, the narrow measure M1 that comprises currency in circulation and overnight deposits fell 0.7 percent annually in January after a 0.6 percent gain in December. This was the first fall on record.
Data showed that tightening efforts of the ECB are having a clear effect on money supply and private-sector borrowing, which will have a dampening impact on economic growth and inflation in 2023, ING economist Bert Colijn said.
“We consider the impact of the hike cycle an underappreciated downside to economic activity for this year,” the economist added.
The central bank had raised its benchmark rates by 50 basis points at the February meeting, and signaled a similar move in March, when the council will evaluate the future path of policy rates.
The ECB Bank Lending Survey released in January showed a further tightening of credit standards as well as weak demand for borrowing from households and businesses.

CAMPBELL Newman began 2012 as a wannabe premier, promising a new era of transparent and accountable government for Queensland.
He's ending it in the state's top job but plagued by accusations he's running a dictatorial government with no regard for democracy.
The final sitting week of the year was horrific for the Newman camp.
The government lost three of its MPs in six days - one defecting to Katter's Australian Party, and two others quitting in disgust to sit as independents.
Liberal National Party (LNP) friend-turned-bitter foe Clive Palmer is circling after saying he's very likely to launch his own political party.
And in one of its final acts of the year, the government passed new laws that Katter's Australian Party says are an attack on democracy itself.
Late on Thursday, it amended legislation that only hours earlier had given the fledgling group minor party status.
The defection of veteran LNP MP Ray Hopper at the weekend gave the Katter party three members - the number it needed under the old rules to seek party status and taxpayer funding that goes with that.
But Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney moved to ensure that didn't happen.
Under amendments, passed with the support of the Labor opposition, defectors such as Mr Hopper will no longer be able to get a party across the eligibility line.
"The essential point is that people who claim to be a party in the parliament need to be elected, as a party, at the election," Mr Seeney told ABC radio on Friday.
The Katter party says it's one of the greatest abuses of power in Queensland's history and is seeking legal advice.
It says under the new rules, even if 15 LNP members defected to its ranks, the Katter party still wouldn't qualify for party status and the taxpayer funding it attracts.
Clive Palmer, who has suggested any new party he forms will include LNP defectors, says it's more proof of a corrupt LNP administration.
"It's not for Newman to decide who the opposition should be ... First the government cooks the books and now it seeks to rig parliament," the former LNP life member said.
But Mr Seeney said the changes were safeguarding, not crushing, democracy, by ensuring Labor is adequately resourced to be an effective opposition in parliament.
"There's no way that this government is going to accede to a request from Katter's Australian Party to opportunistically claim a third of the opposition's funding," he told parliament.
Political analyst Scott Prasser says the government is sending a message to disaffected greenhorn MPs who may be contemplating defection after realising they're probably one-term wonders.
"Katter's Australian Party is more of a threat to the government than the ALP at present," Professor Prasser told AAP.
"So if they gave it opposition status, that might encourage more dissident or unhappy LNP members to jump ship.
"They're sending a message here - don't think that by jumping you're going to have any other privileges."
Griffith University political analyst Paul Williams agrees the government is sending a clear message to potential deserters.
"It (the government) does leave itself open to the accusation of being undemocratic, authoritarian, dictatorial and perhaps engaging in get-square politics to punish dissenters," he said.
"It's an attempt to somehow declare political groups formed after an election as somehow illegitimate. But what government has that right? That's a big democratic question."
Asked what message the premier should take away from the week that was, Dr Williams said: "Communicate with your backbench".

text: Explore the Allegheny National Recreation Area, while hiking through one of the only road-less areas on the forest. Along the way, slopes near the reservoir and along the small streams which drain the area are steep. Rock ledges and large boulders can be found on the steeper hillsides. Most of the area is heavily forested in second growth timber; primarily oak, scattered with beech, black cherry, and hickory. Hemlock is found in small groves along the streams, and some magnificent old white pines can be found in scattered locations. Opportunities to view wildlife are plentiful. Points of Interest: North Country Scenic Trail, Vistas looking at the Allegheny Reservoir, campgrounds at Handsome Lake, Tracy Ridge, and Hopewell for a fee, Old roads and railroad trams. Trail Tips: Restrooms and water are present at the campgrounds mentioned above. Trail conditions can be muddy and wet, along the reservoir, along Polly’s Run, along Johnnycake Run, and on the National Scenic Trail expect to get your feet dirty and wet. The stream at point 10 is rather large and can be deep and difficult to cross (no bridge present). Other named streams along the reservoir also have wet crossings. Views at the vista are primarily visible only when the tree leaves are off. Winter access is limited, parking lots are not plowed. Plan on this hike taking anywhere from 1 to 10 hours, depending on loops selected and your individual fitness level and pace.

This content was provided by Dr. Rad "In Washington, DC patients seek subtle, refined and nuanced results to portray themselves to best advantage. My patient's seek to be an improved version of themselves, not to be extremely altered. A perfect surgical result sparks in observers the sub-conscious reaction "this person looks much better but I'm not sure why." I endeavor to achieve this goal for each patient.
My consultative time is unhurried, so that you have a clear understanding and expectation. My surgical results are impeccable: patients enjoy long-lasting improvements with minimal, hidden scars and the least down time possible. My care is exceptional: my staff and I provide step-by-step guidance for optimal healing and a smooth recovery. I carefully plan my unique approach for each patient. The artistry of my work is to restore a rested, natural appearance rather than to smooth every wrinkle or change one's identity. Surgery is not a small undertaking, and you'll receive support and care that is unparalleled."

A RECENT survey reported in the Herald found that the federal government, through its agency Centrelink, was ''preoccupied with finding people who are receiving assistance for which they do not qualify''. And it does so through an elaborate data-matching program which cross-checks income and personal details held by a number of government agencies, chief of which is the Australian Taxation Office.
Centrelink is not without clout, holding the power to stop pension payments and welfare benefits whenever it wishes. When it joins forces with the ATO, an arm of government which is a law unto itself, a powerful coalition is forged capable of striking fear into the hearts of the hardiest of welfare bandits. Fair enough.
I just wish they would pick on someone their own size.
And certainly not on a 90-year-old pensioner friend of mine, in the terminal stages of dementia who, a few weeks ago, received a letter from Centrelink, threatening to stop her pension.
It seems that when the Centrelink computer was talking to its ATO counterpart, they stumbled across two tax file numbers in my friend's name, which didn't compute. She has paid no tax nor filed a tax return since she first went on the pension some 30 years ago. How she ended up with two tax file numbers defies comprehension. It certainly mystified Centrelink, whose knee-jerk response was to demand more information. If this was not provided, her pension would be stopped. The irony of this demand coming on stationery headed ''Department of Human Services'' did not escape me. Just as well there was not an ''e'' tacked on to ''Human''.
In the seven years I have been, in Centrelink jargon, my friend's ''nominated person'', I have provided reams of paperwork about her to various government agencies which now have on their combined computers her complete history. Enough information for them to realise a woman confined for the past seven years to a dementia ward is a most unlikely rorter of the system. But computers, it seems, are infallible although not necessarily intelligent, and the stupid automated response was to send out that threatening letter.
After almost an hour on the phone listening to recorded music, repeated suggestions to go go online and warnings of long delays, I got to speak to a real person, who made no apology for the letter. ''It's the law. We have to give you a warning before we stop the pension.'' ''But why stop the pension?'' ''Because the ATO says there is a wrong tax file number.''
You can't win. This is what happens when the emphasis shifts from providing to policing. Centrelink and the ATO should be ashamed.

Episode 3 of John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams is more like a romantic drama than a horror documentary. Taking inspiration from a lot of cult classics like Halloween, It, The Shinning, and many more, the third episode seemed more like a montage of those films than a docufiction. The horror elements in this episode were poorly executed, making the entire episode disappointing and boring. The third episode titled “The House Next Door” is the story of Dr. Torrence, who falls in love with a teen girl in his neighborhood. But their romantic endeavor didn’t end well, as a horrific tragedy took place.
How Did Torrance And Lisa Meet?
The third episode of John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams is about the haunted house in the neighborhood of Dr. Torrence, who is seen giving interviews to the filmmakers. Along with Torrence, we saw his friends giving interviews about the haunted house, sharing their feelings and beliefs about it. Torrence had an insane amount of interest in that house for some reason. He was terrified of the house while being deeply fascinated by it. When Torrence was a little kid, a family had moved into that house. Jennifer, a little child of Torrence’s age, became the reason for him to obsess over the house even more. Every day, with the help of his telescope, Torrence used to peer into the windows and the balcony of the house, only to catch a glimpse of Jennifer. But one fateful night, he found Jennifer disappearing into the darkness right in front of his eyes. It terrified Torrence, but he couldn’t do anything about that. In the next morning, Torrance came to know that Jennifer’s family had moved out. However, Torrence strongly believed that something very terrible might have happened to them, prompting them to leave the house as soon as possible.
After years had passed and Torrence grew up to become a teenage boy, he found another family moving into the haunted house in his neighborhood. While his family was thinking of welcoming their new neighbors by throwing a barbecue party, Torrence wanted his parents to warn the family about the house. But his parents disregarded the fact that something was wrong with that house. Torrence once again looked out his window, and with the help of his telescope, he started peering into the house. He laid his eyes on Lisa, who was the older daughter of the family, with a gothic look. Torrence immediately fell in love with her at the very first sight. He believed Lisa was different from the other girls he had seen in his neighborhood, prompting him to muster up his courage to approach her.
At the welcoming barbeque party, Torrence learned about Lisa’s father, who was a dentist named Dr. Kennedy. Their outward appearance was charming, but something was really off about them. Lisa was not fond of gatherings, so she better cornered herself to find a suitable place to smoke. Torrance tried to start a conversation with her, but he had very terrible experiences conversing with girls. However, Lisa realized that Torrence was attracted to her and decided to befriend him. Soon the friendship took another form, and the two started getting closer to each other romantically. They started hanging out with each other secretly and started making out inside Dr. Kennedy’s barn house. But every time Kennedy walked into the house, Torrance managed to save his back by hiding himself.
What Happened To Lisa? Who Was Dr. Kennedy?
One night, when Torrence was looking out his window with his telescope, he found some bizarre happenings inside the haunted house. The lights were flickering, making the whole atmosphere grim. It appeared that someone was hurting Lisa, who was trying to send signals to Torrence. He even found someone scratching over the family photograph of the Kennedys. The next day, Torrence asked Lisa if she was okay in that house or if something weird had been noticed in there. Lisa sneaked into his room that night and asked him to keep his distance from her; otherwise, their relationship would bring further troubles into both of their lives. But the next night, when Torrence couldn’t hold back his curiosity and started peering into the windows with his telescope, he found Dr. Kennedy with a chainsaw in his hand roaming around the house. He looked terrifying and dangerous. In order to save Lisa from the horror, Torrence hurried inside the house and sneaked into her bedroom. He warned Lisa about Kennedy, but Lisa asked him to leave. Torrance was terrified, but in his mind, he was determined to save his beloved. He felt remorseful for not being able to help Jennifer, but he knew he would be able to rescue Lisa from the evil lurking behind the walls of this house. As Torrence started looking for Kennedy, he ended up in his room, where he found several animals hanging upside down like those in the slaughterhouse. As soon as Torrence tried to leave the house, Kennedy had him. Kennedy started intimidating him, asking him not to hang out with his daughter anymore. He pulled out a drilling machine and was about to hurt Torrence, but Lisa arrived there, stabbing her father with a syringe.
As Kennedy was injured and not able to get up and grab them, Torrence and Lisa ran away. Lisa’s mother and little sister were also hiding inside the room, but Kennedy’s wife let her little daughter leave the place and run for her life. Lisa and her sister left the house and rushed into Torrance’s place. Torrence’s mother welcomed them and let them stay at their house for the night. However, the next morning, when Torrence woke up, he came to know that the family had moved out. Kennedy, taking his whole family, including Lisa, had left the place and communicated with nobody about where they were going. This happened all of a sudden, leaving Torrence with no idea what happened to Lisa and Dr. Kennedy. All he could remember was Lisa’s face and the beautiful moments he had spent with her, which he would never be able to forget.

Why healthcare needs to prioritize remanufactured robotic instruments
October 06, 2023
By Kevin Liszewski
Last year, 19 hospitals filed for bankruptcy, closed or announced plans to close. And circumstances haven’t improved much in 2023. In the second quarter of this year, for-profit community health systems reported a net loss of $38 million.
At the same time, this summer, Intuitive Surgical, the leading manufacturer of surgical robotic instruments also reported its second quarter financial results. Revenues were up 15 percent year-over-year to $1.76 billion dollars, and the company expects its gross margin for 2023 to be as high as 69 percent.
There are winners and losers in all markets and industries. But when device manufacturers win big and hospitals lose big, the people who truly suffer are the patients. This is why it is critical to help our hospitals reduce costs on things like robotic procedures.
The rise of robotic procedures
In July 2000, the FDA approved the da Vinci Surgical System, the first surgical robot for general minimally invasive surgery. Since then, the number of robotic procedures has grown dramatically, and Intuitive Surgical’s da Vinci is the un-disputed market leader.
In robotic surgery, surgeons use computer-controlled machinery to perform surgical procedures. The aim of this technology is to enable less-invasive complex surgeries with greater visibility, precision, and flexibility than is possible with conventional techniques. In robotic procedures, the robot is not really doing the work. They are surgical procedures in which doctors use robots to guide their actions. One or more robotic arms may be used in robotic surgical systems, which doctors can operate remotely and accurately from a console nearby.
As an industry, we must prioritize the remanufacturing of robotic instruments as a key cost-savings measure for hospitals. Here’s why:
U.S. hospitals spend almost $14 billion on surgical robots every year, and this is growing rapidly. A surgical robot costs, on average, more than $1.5 million. However, the hospital spends almost twice as much on instruments and accessories, and services associated with the robot are about 50 percent of the acquisition price.
Why does the hospital spend so much on robotic instruments after acquiring the robot? Robotic instruments—or “arms”—often cost more than $2,000 when purchased new, and the manufacturer limits the amount of uses. After the manufacturer-imposed use-limit is reached, the hospital must buy a new instrument. With several robots and several arms on each robot, this represents a very large amount of money.

The Spring/Summer issue of Port – featuring actors Orlando Bloom, Toheeb Jimoh and Anson Boon, writers George the Poet and Preti Taneja, architect Eyal Weizman, artists Hew Locke and Lexie Smith, photographers Mark Ruwedel and Kalpesh Lathigra, chef Nuno Mendes, woodworker Sophie Sellu, alongside writing from Seán Hewitt, Douglas Kennedy, Irene Solà, Brian Patrick Eha and Refaat Alareer.
Four immense talents grace the cover of issue 30. Orlando Bloom reflects on remaining grounded after being in some of the biggest film franchises of the 21st century, while spoken word performer George the Poet shares a specially commissioned piece for our Commentary, giving ten compelling reasons why everyone should write. Two rising stars in the world of film and television also feature; Anson Boon discusses his transformation into Johnny Rotten for Danny Boyle’s upcoming Sex Pistols’ mini-series, and Toheeb Jimoh, fresh from winning hearts and an ensemble SAG Award for his role in Ted Lasso, talks about navigating disparate worlds.
Elsewhere, the founder of acclaimed research agency Forensic Architecture, Eyal Weizman, has an in-depth conversation with Deyan Sudjic about the traces left by trauma, and Guggenheim Fellow Mark Ruwedel shares a selection of photographs from his four-part in-progress epic Los Angeles: Landscapes of Four Ecologies.
Alongside a 1010 special white paper report on innovation at the hands of Rolex, Cartier, Audemars Piguet, and many more, we have also captured the finest Spring/Summer collections in everywhere from Marseille to Fuerteventura.
For Commentary – in addition to George the Poet – Brian Patrick Eha descends into the feverish world of NFTs, Irene Solà shares the opening chapter of her fiercely imaginative new book When I Sing, Mountains Dance, bestselling author Douglas Kennedy explores the myths, art and graft of writing, and Palestinian lecturer Refaat Alareer considers what it means to speak of a “realistic” outcome in the Israel-Palestine crisis.
In Portfolio (formerly Porter), artist Hew Locke discusses his grand commission for Tate Britain, Preti Taneja ruminates on her astounding new book Aftermath, chef Nuno Mendes pens a love letter to Lisbon, baker and artist Lexie Smith explores bread’s potential as a socio-political barometer, Matthew Turner investigates Florence’s Church of the Autostrada, and woodworker Sophie Sellu (of Grain and Knot) carves a second life out of sustainably sourced timber.
Finally, award-winning poet Seán Hewitt closes the issue with a lyrical list of Likes and Dislikes, after Susan Sontag.


WASHINGTON, DC -- Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Congressman Jim Himes (D-CT) today announced along with Governor Dannel Malloy and Stamford Mayor Michael Pavia that the City of Stamford will receive a $10,500,000 federal TIGER grant to make improvements to the Stamford Transportation Center. The TIGER3 funding will be supplemented by state, local and private sector investments to make critical functional upgrades to the Center.
The upgrades include transit rider accessibility, involving a pedestrian ramp connecting the east bound platform to Atlantic Street; ridership capacity improvements that will enhance the station’s capacity to handle existing and projected future transit riders; and complete streetscape improvements for passenger and pedestrian safety.
“These upgrades will make a real difference in the lives of the residents of Stamford and for all who pass through the Stamford Transportation Center each day,” Lieberman said. “This substantial investment will create jobs, increase efficiency, and improve safety at one of the busiest stations in the country.”
“This transportation upgrade – so critical to improving and modernizing Connecticut’s rail and road network – will vastly improve efficiency, safety, and comfort at Stamford’s Transportation Center,” said Blumenthal. “The city of Stamford is a richly deserving recipient of this highly competitive TIGER grant, and I am encouraged that the U.S. Department of Transportation recognizes the economic importance of investing in Connecticut.”
“Making these essential improvements to the Stamford train station is like hanging a welcome sign to the city for visitors, commuters, and businesses alike,” Himes said. “Investing in transportation infrastructure is one of the most important things we can do to improve the economy, and this project will bring needed construction jobs to our community while making a long-term investment in the efficiency, productivity, and vibrancy of Southwest Connecticut.”
“As the former Mayor of Stamford, I know how important this train station is to the lives of local residents,” said Governor Malloy. “That’s why when I became Governor, I made it a priority to fight for every available opportunity to invest federal money into our mass transportation infrastructure. If we are truly going to reinvent Connecticut, we need to rethink how we approach mass transportation. This grant will go a long way to improving a critical part of our infrastructure.”
“The TIGER3 award is the result of a strong collaboration of Federal, State and local officials all of whom see the Stamford Transportation Center as a resource extending far beyond Stamford and as an economic engine for our region,” said Mayor Pavia, Mayor of Stamford. “This investment, which begins immediately, continues our commitment to raise the standards for sustainability and customer friendly rail service for all who use our Transportation Center.”

Thomas a'Becket Walk
This modern development of 19 houses occupies land which formerly had an agricultural use. In 1924 it was part of 27 acres of such land purchased by Dearlove Addyman and formed part of "Village Farm" which he had occupied as a tenant farmer for some years previously (click here to read about previous owners). Over the years a thriving business of animal slaughter developed on the site and an abattoir stood on part of the land until a few years ago (click here to read about the abattoir).
In 1994 the site was sold to Nidderdale Quality Foods Ltd. An application for planning consent to allow the construction of residential property was made in 1997 and refused.
A further such application was lodged in August 2000 seeking outline consent for housing construction. The application was made against a background of regular complaints from villagers concerning nuisances of noise, smells, traffic congestion etc. arising from the use of the site. The application drew attention to the fact that, over the years, increasing UK and EEC regulations and the practical problems arising on the site had made difficult the continuing economic viability of the industry while retaining residential amenity. The site was no longer suitable for the business. Discussions had recognised the need to raise capital from residential development to fund the relocation of the business. Changes in the value of the housing market meant that a smaller such development could now finance such a change. It was suggested that the application if granted would result in an enhancement of the Conservation Area. The applicants envisaged the construction of 18 houses of which 3 could be "affordable" properties.
The Planning Officer recognised that the proposal might be an acceptable solution to a long standing problem but it soon became clear that a number of issues needed to be resolved. The Environment Agency expressed the view that the proposal might be acceptable provided steps were taken to prevent an increase in the risk of flooding to the site (the site lies in the flood plain of the River Nidd). The Heritage Officer was of the view that an archaeological survey was necessary in view of the historic nature of the area (part of an ancient Roman route). Local residents expressed their own concerns about flooding, increased traffic, loss of a village workplace, undue enlargement of the existing village, types and sizes of dwellings contemplated, etc., etc. The Harrogate Council's file discloses a great deal of correspondence on these matters.
The planning application was listed for consideration on 7th December 2000 but on the day before the hearing an objection was received from the Environment Agency citing renewed concerns about flood risks. Although the applicants had been led to believe that the risk was low, heavy rains in the proceeding days had resulted in the site being flooded! The application was deferred for further investigation. A solution was proposed involving raising the ground height of the dwellings and the creation of a large excavated "compensation area" between the position of any housing and the river. Next month the application was, on the recommendation of the planning officer, again deferred but on the basis that the Head of Planning Services was authorised to approve the application subject to numerous conditions designed to meet all the concerns identified including arrangements for securing the future maintenance of the compensation area.
Much work was obviously done thereafter to meet the conditions and, on the 24th April 2002, an application for full planning consent was lodged by new owners and proposed builders Charles Church North East of Newton Aycliffe Co. Durham. The architects for the project were Carey Nieman of Leeds.
The application was accompanied by a detailed contextual study undertaken to identify the design characteristics, spatial qualities and built form of Hampsthwaite village. Nevertheless, the application provoked renewed concerns as to the need for a clearer scheme for landscaping, flood protection measures, surface water disposal, the high value and number of dwellings proposed, the intrusive nature of the envisaged housing in the landscape, etc., etc. The County Council reported on its archaeological evaluation saying that the remains of medieval open field systems formed part of the historic landscape around the village; there were earthwork remains of ridge and furrow and an earthwork bank might possibly follow that of the projected course of the Roman road. The report concluded that "the preservation in situ of these remains is the preferred option" and that building plot 19 "will directly affect these earthworks". In June 2002 the Parish council reported on the result of a public meeting held the previous week and identified the concerns of the villagers then expressed (which had repeated many known objections and added comments about preserving an ancient 300 year-old Hawthorn hedge and a large Sycamore tree on the site) and added its own comments about the need to manage flood/drainage problems. The Conservation Officer did not support the application and made a number of detailed criticisms of the proposed design. The Environmental Health Officer and Yorkshire Water reiterated earlier concerns about potential nuisance from increased use of the nearby sewage pumping station. By October it was apparent to the developers that outstanding issues would not be resolved in time for the intended meeting of the planning committee in November. Eventually, in February 2003 the planning committee authorised the Head of Planning Services to approve the application subject to 33 conditions suggested by the planning officer and, after more detailed negotiations, those conditions were deemed to be met with the result that the house we see today were constructed.
Since the construction of the estate a review of the Conservation Area has been carried out by the Council which comments . . . "There is a new housing expansion in St Thomas a Becket Walk of mainly detached houses on the site of a former cattle slaughterhouse. Whilst the houses have been constructed in stone, along the river valley, once they have aged and weathered should eventually merge into the landscape. However, they would, in the meantime, benefit from further screening with additional tree planting..".

Fmr President's Party to Trigger Presidential Republic Referendum
Bulgarian President (2002-2011) Georgi Parvanov is to table his plans for a nationwide poll on changes to the political system, the institutions and the judiciary.
He outlined his proposals at a conference of his Alternative for Bulgarian Revival (ABV) was stage on Sunday.
Parvanov, who was expelled from the Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) after restating his political ambitions earlier this year, told private national channel bTV briefly after the event that Bulgaria's parliamentarism was worn-out as its sense had been "depleted".
"I must say, as there have been implications that "those at ABV are doing it because of Plevneliev": we demand a presidential republic not because of, but in spite of the current president," the Bulgarian National Radio quoted Parvanov as saying.
The former President has long pushed for a poll offering citizens to have their say on that matter.
Another key proposal envisages that half of the MPs should be elected using majority rule. ABV would also like to introduce progressive taxation and to introduce threefold cuts to party subsidies.
Parvanov has called for an end to "party appointments", party quotas at governing bodies and ministries.
Commenting on the issue of referendums, he also spoke of recent developments involving the deal with US-based Westinghouse on expanding Kozloduy NPP's capacities.
Last week's agreement between Sofia and Westinghouse followed a referendum in January 2013 in which citizens were to decide whether Bulgaria's nuclear capacities should be boosted. A majority voted in favor, but the poll was non-binding for Parliament due to low voter turnout.
The referendum was initiated by the then-opposition BSP and was perceived to be virtually a poll on Belene NPP, which the GERB government froze in 2011.
On Sunday Parvanov alleged that the BSP, instead of reviving the Belene NPP project while in power, had opted for a scenario that he described as "dubious, to put it mildly" and that, in his words, could turn to be "a crime against national interest" at a certain point.

Sword Coast Legends Review
You’re battling with a swarm of bandits in the sewers, since you failed to impress them with a show of strength. Acid arrows fly, heals pick up your beleaguered fighters, and your rogues dispatch enemy ranged units within moments. Sword Coast Legends should feel like a real-deal dungeon crawl, but something’s lost in translation. Perhaps we’ve just been spoiled on the PC RPG front as of late, but the clichéd campaign and dungeon-creation toolbox fail to leave a noteworthy impression.
This simplified, easy-to-play Dungeons & Dragons jaunt takes players to the ever-popular Forgotten Realms setting, and does a good job easing you into the swing of things. Dungeons & Dragons rulesets can be complex and tough to handle, but Sword Coast Legends distills everything down to hotbar actions and real-time combat. The combat features the old “real-time with pause” mechanic that’s been a staple of the PC RPG since Baldur’s Gate 2. The core characters provide all the essential roles you need to make a well-balanced party full of healing, spells, backstabbery, and tanky frontliners. Regardless of the roles and characters you embrace, things run pretty much on autopilot as your group goes from pack to pack, ripping foes apart with their limited selection of spammable skills. While you are free to control the character of your choice during any given encounter, it’s often just a matter of clicking a few buttons and letting your team clean house – a process that gets repetitive quickly.
Contributing to the banality of the campaign, none of your decisions or choices seem to have much impact on the story or developments. You’re not going to be diverting paths or anything, even if you do come up with a different way to approach a situation. I still had fun intimidating people with strength, charming them with charisma, and using spells to solve problems. Despite these moment-to-moment interactions that mostly consist of “Oh cool, I have this spell so I can handle this encounter this way,” you can’t do much to change the linear trail and stock quests. The journey is a slog and the characters that should be the most entertaining (like crazy halflings who go on killing sprees) are all footnotes in an endless backdrop of caves and sewers filled with uninteresting encounters. Your group can pretty much take on anything you encounter, so your input is usually a few pause-taps, item uses, and spell casts. It’s not fun, and the story feels like generic fantasy fare through and through.
Campaign aside, Sword Coast Legends promised to allow players to take on all of our favorite Dungeons & Dragons monsters and mayhem player-created multiplayer dungeons – complete with a Dungeon Master pulling the strings. The good news is that the dungeon, quest, and encounter creation tools are easy to use; anyone can make a pretty solid dungeon from start to finish, and playing other user-created maps is easy. This turns out to be a double-edged sword, as the ease of creation and simplicity of the toolkit imposes significant limitations on how things can be created. It feels more like playing with a strict set of dungeon Legos than freeform customization. This may change in time as users find ways to break the rules and come up with crazy campaigns, but right now the multiplayer Dungeon Master experience feels like a dumbed-down Diablo session that’s in dire need of variety and soul.
Sword Coast Legends will grow over time. Significant updates are already scheduled, but right now it doesn’t provide the ambitious set of creation tools and repeat-crawling chaos that I was hoping it would. Sword Coast Legends has some great ideas and a wonderful world to draw upon, but struggles to live up to its potential.

With the launch of three MacBook Pro laptops running the M3 Apple Silicon, Apple hopes consumers looking for a new MacBook Pro will decide on the entry-level M3-powered laptop rather than wait for a MacBook Air. This is curious because Apple has already demonstrated what the M3 MacBook Air will offer—you just need to look inside the smallest MacBook Pro to find it.
Apple has traditionally launched its new Apple Silicon family with a new MacBook Air. The entry-level consumer-focused laptop delivers the refreshed macOS experience to the largest audience possible. This was true when Apple switched to the ARM-based M1 and the subsequent M2. With the launch of M3 last month, hopes were high that Tim Cook and his team would continue this pattern and set up the perfect Christmas laptop for the faithful.
As Macbeth would say…this was not to be. Three new MacBook Pro laptops were launched alongside a new iMac, with the M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max chipsets. But no Air.
If you take a step back from the Mac platform and look at the broader Apple ecosystem, the decision makes logistical sense. The M3 chipset is built on 3nm fabrication technology, and the raw materials are in short supply. The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max’s A17 Pro also use 3nm technology, and with the best will in the world, these will sell a lot more units than the MacBook Air or any MacBook Pro.
If the iPhone is going to stay as Apple’s primary product, it must have priority over the supply chain. With no MacBook Air on sale to consumers in vast numbers, there are more 3nm supplies to go around. While the MacBook Pro and iMac hardware also use 3nm, these will not sell as many units as a MacBook Air, leaving more for the iPhone.
Launching M3 with the MacBook Pro puts less of a strain on Apple’s supply chain and ensures the iPhone can deliver its traditional spike in sales during the last quarter of the calendar year.
Apple launched a new MacBook Air in June—the first 15-inch MacBook Air—at its Worldwide Developer Conference. Powered by the M2 chipset, it complemented the 13-inch options on sale. Returning to the MacBook Air community and saying that the M2 laptops are a generation behind would not be a welcome presentation just four months after the 15-inch model arrived.
Launching a new MacBook Air in October would damage Apple’s reputation with many existing customers.
Yet… there might not be a laptop with the MacBook Air logo, but the entry-level MacBook Pro running the M3 chipset is unlike the other 14-inch or 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops running the M3 Pro or M3 Max chipsets. As teardown and repair specialists iFixit noted, the M3 MacBook Pro has just a single fan, substantive changes (primarily by omission) on the main circuit board and a larger heat sink to keep everything running a bit cooler and squeezing a bit more power out of the M3 chipset.
If you know your MacBook hardware history, this is the same pattern as the M2 MacBook Pro compared to the M2 Pro and M2 Max laptops and the same pattern as the M1.
And if you look closer at these patterns, the “vanilla” M1 MacBook Pro looked more like a MacBook Air with an extra cooling fan to find around 20 percent more power over the fanless MacBook Air. If you remove the cooling fans, the M1 and M2 MacBook Pros were little more than modded MacBook Air laptops.
We’ll have to wait until the back half of Q2 2024 to find out the exact makeup of the M3 MacBook Air, but right now, I think we’ve seen all we need to see. The M3 MacBook Air might not be on sale, but it’s ready to buy. Apple has continued with this awkward halfway house of a laptop. It just had to make sure it said “MacBook Pro” on the outside and commanded a price that matches the status of the name
Well played, Tim Cook. Well played.

In May 2018, right-wing blogs pounced on a New York Post story concerning alleged campaign contribution violations by actress and comedian Rosie O'Donnell.
According to the Post, the former co-host of The View exceeded the $2,700 limit on individual campaign contributions in donations to several Democratic Party candidates via the fundraising web site ActBlue, while using five different New York addresses and four variations of her name.
The report also said that O'Donnell donated $90,000 to 50 different committees and candidates for federal office. O'Donnell reportedly told the Post via email that she did "nothing nefarious," adding that she did not choose to donate over the limit. The newspaper also quoted her as saying:
My anxiety is quelled by donating to those opposing trump [and] his agenda — especially at night — when most of these were placed.
Conservative bloggers seized on that remark to accuse O'Donnell of "pleading insanity":
Trump-hating liberal Rosie O’Donnell has accused President Trump of many bogus crimes. She has been obsessed with trying to accuse President Trump of nonsense. She has became completely obsessed with President Trump. Her Twitter feed is filled with incohrrent [sic] rants. Now the Trump curse continues as she is pleading insanity in hopes of not paying the penalty for breaking campaign finance laws. She is facing criminal charges thanks to a campaign finance scheme.
In fact, there has been no announcement of an investigation into the alleged donations, let alone "criminal charges." The Federal Election Commission did not comment on the Post's report. While the Post's report has been aggregated by blogs and other news outlets, no second source has emerged corroborating its findings.
An ActBlue spokesperson, Chris Fleming, did not comment on the story, but did tell us:
ActBlue does not allow over the limit contributions in any one transaction, and ActBlue offers donors the option of saving all their info in an account where they can track their cumulative giving through ActBlue and compare/add to offline giving.
While the Post reported that FEC violations only rarely lead to penalties, Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson said that it can depend on the jurisdiction. "For instance, some cities and states are much more aggressive about finding and fining people for these violations than others," said Levinson, who focuses on campaign finance in her work:
On the federal level, it is true that the Federal Election Commission is a model of inaction. I think it would be fair to say that fines are not common, but I'm not really convinced that these types of violations are terrifically common.
For her part, O'Donnell accused the Post on Twitter of employing "sinister ways to warp the truth." She also posted a photograph depicting her contributions on the ActBlue platform, listed at 66 donations totaling $75,500:
She told the Post that candidates should refund donation money that exceeds the individual limit, adding, "I don't look to see who I can donate most to.... I just donate assuming they do not accept what is over the limit."
FEC regulations state that campaign committees that receive individual donations over the $2,700 limit have 60 days to refund the excess amount, redesignate it toward another election, or reattribute the money to someone else. In the event of a redesignation or reattribution, the contributor must be notified of the committee's intent and offered the chance to collect a refund instead.
The newspaper's report centered on contributions from O'Donnell to two current Democratic congressional candidates — Lauren Underwood in Illinois and Omar Vaid in New York — as well as campaigns for three current lawmakers from the same party: Rep. Adam Schiff from California; Doug Jones of Alabama; and Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania.
Lamb's campaign will reportedly contact O'Donnell and offer to either refund or redesignate her excess contributions; Vaid's told the Post that it would amend its filings. A spokesperson for Underwood told us:
Because of the data point differences in name, address, and employer, our systems did not flag these contributions as totaling above the limit. In the coming weeks, we will be amending our report.
Bloggers also attempted to compare O'Donnell's purported violations to the outright illegal donations that led to the 2014 conviction of right-wing documentarian Dinesh D'Souza. D'Souza was sentenced to five years probation and eight months in a halfway house after pleading guilty to making illegal contributions in the names of others. D'Souza asked two friends and their partners to donate $10,000 apiece in 2012 toward Republican Wendy Long's senatorial candidate.
"I do think we could find a distinction between what D'Souza was charged with — making a contribution of about 10 times the legal limit — with what O'Donnell is accused of — making a total of $5,400 in contributions over the legal limit to five different candidates," Levinson said. "O'Donnell's error seems more believably to be one of ignorance, while it is hard to believe that D'Souza believed a $20,000 contribution was legal."

1. Revival Blues
‘Revival Blues’ signifies the rebirth of ocean blue. This collection consolidates the notion of originality. It entwines the strength of the ocean with the durability of denim. It merges the calm of the ocean with the pacific color of blue. ‘Revival Blues’ brings in a distinct identity with deep navy indigo colors of knits and twills.
2. Cocktail Blues
Vintage blue can never get old because of its eternal nature. It can never go out of fashion, regardless of time or age. It has been fossilized as a people’s choice and has followed the tradition of being a favorite, generation after generation. Cocktail Blues collection strips out from a vibrant palette of IBST colors.
3. Innova Blues
Innova Blues is all about introducing innovative fabrics and making fashion phenomenal again. This collection is constructed with innovative yarns like spun poly, poly viscose, CMM800 melanges, Cool tex and dura core. Innova Blues is not something ‘new’ but the ‘original new’. It has the originality of denim that is enhanced by innovative yarns.
4. Breezy Blues
Summer wear has to be cool, right? Our Breezy Blues collection is as cool as fabrics can get, or maybe cooler than we expect. This range is not just pleasing as an attire, but also appealing and soothing to the eye. Cool colors and eloquent fabrics give you the chill that you crave for, every summer. Get ready to be mesmerized, in the coolest way possible!
The Galaxies collection is an irony to our eyes. Denim is associated with a color, and this range breaks that association. The Galaxies collection includes sulfur colors like grey, maroon and earthy, moving surprisingly away from general perception, yet staying impressively similar to that colour denim is associated with. Ironic, yet an absolute treat to watch!
6. Crayo Blacks
Black is bold, it is beautiful, it is strong and it is classy to the deepest degree that one can fathom. But, black is certainly just not black, there’s a depth to it, there’s a variety with unexplainable cryptic beauty. The ‘Crayo Blacks’ collection celebrates black, and it’s variations. It is all about adorning black in different ways.
7. Uber Colors
Colors represent a celebration called life and also represent style as we know it. There’s no fashion without colors. And colors are not distinct from denim fabrics. Our Uber Colors collection celebrates the eloquence of quality fabrics homogenizing with an extensive palette of colors.
8. Caramel Ecrus
A caramel Ecrus which can be explored with fashionable colors. Our Caramel Ecrus collection is a youthful attempt to bring the childlike charm to fashion. This collection can be explored in various products and in a massive variety of colors. Caramel Ecrus is crafted with the undeniable intent to preserve the element of innocence in fashion today, and in the time to come.

Elizabeth A Kirkwood · Married on 06/29/2019
Ocean Strings were fantastic!
The Ocean Strings duo played for my daughter’s wedding and their music was wonderful. They played during the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. They were very responsive to my inquiries and were willing and able to play every selection that we wanted. They also suggested additional music that was appropriate and beautiful. Me and Mrs Ballinger were very professional and were very flexible, moving inside from the patio in the rain, and playing songs upon the bride and groom’s request. The Ocean Strings Duo was an excellent value and they will not disappoint.Sent on 07/07/2019
Ocean Strings / Ocean String Quartet's reply:Thank you so much Elizabeth! We really enjoyed performing for your family and friends! And so happy the Bride wanted to hear an encore of "Married Life" from UP! That's one of our favorite arrangements!

Couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our marriage than with the added bonus of string music during our ceremony.
Ocean Strings did a phenomenal job. The string music was a perfect backdrop to our beach ceremony! Nicole was very responsive and extremely helpful with music suggestions for our ceremony. Our guests loved the strings duo as opposed to a dj playing songs. I would highly recommend Ocean Strings for your next wedding or event!Sent on 05/23/2019

Muslim women in Mumbai have staged a demonstration to enter Haji Ali Dargah, following protests by other women activists to make their way inside Shani Shingnapur temple in Maharashtra.
The group of Muslim women has been engaged in a legal battle with the trustees of the dargah (shrine) which barred women from entering the mosque’s mausoleum during 2011.
The dargah was of the view that it was a grievous sin, according to Islam, if women are in close proximity of a Muslim saint’s grave.
But according to a professor of Islamic studies, Zeenat Shaukat Ali, the restriction related to “male patriarchy”, and not religion.
“I am an Islamic scholar and nowhere in Islam is it said that women cannot go to graveyards. This is the dictum of the Prophet (pbuh). When Islam has not excluded women, then why should male patriarchy dominate. Male patriarchy is dominating the Hindus, male patriarchy is dominating the Muslims,” Zeenat said.
The scholar went on to say that discrimination against women was against the tenets of Islam. ”This is against what Islam has taught. The constitution [of the country] has given you equal rights [and] Islam supports the constitution.”
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA) approached Bombay High Court to seek a verdict that the ban in place is unconstitutional.

Very nice cruise, cozy atmosphere on board with great guides and helmsman. We enjoyed it very much. The guides not only gave interesting information, but were very amusing! Top! Worth repeating!
I really liked it especially in the tower, it was great. And during the cruise I liked the walk but I didn't have a place to sit down during the trip but otherwise everything was beautiful.
Fantastic staff, fun friendly and great service. The trip itself is second to none
Highly Recommended. Service on board was great and absolutely inexpensive.


WCHCs Response to COVID-19:
WCHC COVID-19 Vaccine Frequently Asked Questions
To our dear valued patients and community,
The West Cecil Health Center is committed to doing our part in the COVID19 vaccine effort. We consider it a privilege to help bring this very important immunization to as many people as possible.
Below are some very common questions we receive about the COVID 19 vaccine at WCHC that may be helpful for you.
Does WCHC offer the COVID19 vaccine?
Yes, we have been receiving doses since early February. The amount varies from week-to-week depending on how much the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) ships us. Whenever we receive doses we open more appointments.
Who is eligible for the vaccine?
Currently, we can vaccinate the following group:
Groups 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B, & 3
All healthcare workers and first responders
Residents and staff of nursing homes
Residents and staff of assisted living or congregate living
Education and government employees
Marylanders ages 16yo and older
All essential workers in:
US postal service
grocery store/food service
I am eligible for a vaccine and am a patient of WCHC, how do I get an appointment for the vaccine?
Schedule Your COVID Vaccine (the easiest), if you are an existing patient or call the office at 410-378-9696
I am eligible for a vaccine but am NOT a patient at WCHC, how do I get an appointment?
Call the office at 410-378-9696 if you are not an existing patient and we will add you to the waitlist.
I am not in the eligible category yet, but I would like to be on a waitlist. Will you add me to the list?
Yes, please call the office at 410-378-9696 and we will add you the waitlist
I am on the waitlist for WCHC but have not been given an appointment yet, have you forgotten about me?
No, we promise!:)
No one has been forgotten, we simply do not have one to offer you yet. You may be on multiple waitlists so we know this can be frustrating.
I am on a waitlist for WCHC but I already got a vaccine from another location. What should I do now?
That’s terrific but please call and let us know right away so we can give someone else your dose.
I have an upcoming appointment with WCHC for the vaccine, but now another location is calling me to offer an appointment. What should I do?
Please, please PLEASE keep your appointment with us. We are committed to having your dose ready for you on the day of your visit, but when we have cancelations at the last minute, or no-show for the appointment, it creates A LOT of difficulty for us. We are committed to not wasting any of our doses, so please help us (and the many people in line behind you who need a dose) by keeping your appointment.
Which COVID19 vaccine type do you have?
Mostly Moderna. We are starting to get a few doses of Johnson & Johnson, but not very many.
If I get my first does of Moderna at WCHC, can I get the second dose there too?
Yes! We make sure to have the second dose available for you. If you get your second dose somewhere else, please let us know right away!
Does WCHC do “drive-thru” vaccines?
No, we cannot offer a drive-thru format. But! We do have plenty of space in the waiting room to keep 6 feet away from others. Chairs are wiped down regularly and we have good air filtration. Thankfully, patients have been very satisfied with their experience.
Please note WCHC has a very limited supply of vaccines. If you do not see an appointment available, we are either fully booked or out of vaccines.
As we continue to face the current Coronavirus Crisis, WCHC will be primarily utilizing telehealth visits for primary care and behavioral health services. If a patient cannot utilize the internet for a telehealth visit, or the reason for being seen is not appropriate for a telehealth visit, some patients may still schedule in-office visits. If you have difficulties accessing the internet, Armstrong has opened up free hot spots at various locations for members of the community; hot spots near you can be found HERE. The safety of our patients and staff is our top priority and we appreciate your understanding at this time. If you currently have an appointment scheduled, our team will be reaching out to you to discuss your options.
As antibody testing becomes a more popular topic, please review WCHC COVID-19 Antibody Testing FAQs for Patients.
WCHCs technology platforms have made telehealth services extremely accessible to you, as the patient. A link will be sent to you either via text or email (whichever your preference). WCHC is using both the Healow app, OR Bluestream Health, depending on the best option to serve you. PLEASE NOTE: copays, co-insurance, and deductibles still apply for all telehealth services as contracted by your insurance company. WCHC has put together tips for a successful telehealth visit for both Healow and Bluestream Health. You can also view a video HERE on getting started with Healow televisits.
WCHC’s on-site pharmacy, Cecil Community Pharmacy, is offering curb-side pick-up for vulnerable patients, and prescription mailing for eligible patients. Please call 877-622-8484 to speak with someone in our pharmacy to determine if you are eligible.
Only patients who need to be seen in the office should enter the building. Should you need to come to the office for any reason, please call the office at 410.378.9696 to speak with a staff member who can assist.
WCHC is working to compile a list of resources for Cecil and Harford County residents. If you have suggestions of what can be added to the list, please send an email to email@example.com.

Updates to our Visitor Policy:
In an effort to protect and promote public health and ensure the safety of our patients and staff, WCHC will be restricting all visitors to our health center with exceptions for parent, guardians, or necessary caregivers of the patient. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We will supply a mask for any patients and visitors that may need to be seen in the office if a telehealth visit is not suitable
Tips on Preventing Transmission:
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water aren’t available. Here is information on handwashing by CDC.
- Avoid touching your face, particularly your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Avoid close contact, unless you are in the healthcare profession or caring for an ill family member or friend.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Throw used tissue in the trash and wash your hands afterward with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces, such as your phone, countertops, and doorknobs.
- Stay calm! After taking the appropriate measures to help reduce the spread of germs, the next best step is to stay calm.
What to Do If You Are Sick
If you develop symptoms, and have been in close contact with a person known or suspected to have COVID-19, or have recently traveled to an area with widespread or ongoing community spread of COVID-19, please call your healthcare provider before going to a clinic or provider’s office. If you are having chest pain, serious difficulty breathing, or another type of medical emergency, please call 911 or seek care at your local emergency department.
How can I stay up to date with what is going on with coronavirus?
The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention is keeping a close eye on the progression of coronavirus not only in the US but also globally.
