Ignatius Limedoodle is a kooky, funky and funny one of a kind artist bear in printed cotton, mohair and faux fur by Barbara Ann Bears
Ignatius Limedoodle stands 10.5 inches( 26 cm) tall and is 8.5 inches (21 cm) sitting, this doesn't include his plumes of wildly fluffy hair which add an extra 3.5 inches (9 cm).
Ignatius Limedoodle is a sweet and artistic bear, very smart in his designer print fabric which is a mixture of natural motifs, mainly flowers and trees together with some more psychedelic flourishes. He's quite flamboyant with his plume of outrageous twizzling hair and wildly fluffy tummy and ears. His huge beaming grin will never leave his face, he's a bear of constant happiness and fun, he wants to see you smiling and laughing.
Ignatius Limedoodle is made from several different pieces of fabric, he's mostly made from a printed cotton fabric that features stylised flowers and leaves and many twirls and whirls, all in subtle, muted colours against a dark, charcoal coloured background background. The sides of his face are a long wavy mohair that Barbara has dyed with splashes of magenta, peach and gold while the backcloth is a verdant green and the top of face is a lemony white mohair. His tummy, the backs of his ears and the underside of his tail are all made from a long and soft, emerald green tipped lemony yellow mohair and crowning it all is a piece of very long and vivid yellow faux fur. Ignatius has hand dyed velvet paw pads which complement his colouring beautifully.
Ignatius Limedoodle has beautiful, hand painted glass eyes (painted to match his colours) with hand coloured eyelids, an impressive nose embroidered from individual threads to match his colouring and a beaming smile, he is stuffed with glass beads, plastic pellets and polyester stuffing to make him a little heavier and more cuddly.
Ignatius Limedoodle is a wild and colourful arty teddy bear with a very sweet personality. He could give the appearance of being quite garish but his gentle personality means that he is an easy and interesting bear to live with, he will never cause any trouble, he just wants to make people happy.
We will enclose photos with Aubrey and we are happy to put in a greetings card and gift tags, maybe a birthday card or one for another occasion, you can choose one from our greetings card page and let us know which card you would like.
As with all our bears Aubrey is not a toy, he is an adult collectible and unsuitable for children under 14

More magnificent byways brought to life by an adventurous trio
The Strad Issue: April 2024
Description: More magnificent byways brought to life by an adventurous trio
Musicians: Neave Trio
Works: Smyth: Trio in D minor. Boulanger: D’un matin de printemps; D’un soir triste. Chaminade: Trio no.1. Tailleferre: Trio
Catalogue number: CHANDOS CHAN20238
All of these works deserve a place in the repertoire in their own right, the gender of their composers irrelevant, save for the fact that they all – in different ways – faced difficult receptions of their output. Smyth’s Trio, for example, was only aired in public for the first time in 1985, more than a century after it was written. Yet it’s a major discovery demonstrating incredible fluency and memorable melodic invention, albeit owing much to Brahms.
Naturally the case for all four composers is strengthened by these illustrious performances: the Neave Trio delivers perceptively characterised interpretations that are by turns individual and blended, supported by a pleasingly warm recording.
Review: Neave Trio: Her Voice
Review: Neave Trio: Musical Remembrances
Germaine Tailleferre began her Trio when she was 24, but only completed the work 60 years later in 1978. Miraculously, she interweaves her later thoughts with the earlier ideas to create a thoroughly convincing work teeming with delicately coloured, piquant Fauré-esque harmonies, qualities that are exquisitely projected in this performance. Chaminade’s Trio is full of subtle shades of timbral colour, elegant and nuanced phrasing adding to its beauty. There is more astringency to Lili Boulanger’s music and fervent readings brings alive its compellingly intense darker resonances, with D’un soir triste perhaps the highlight of the disc.

The video piece 100 grams blacks refers to the Hebrew slang for sunflower seeds, a common snack in Israel sold in local kiosks. In this piece, Bartal slowly spins for a full hour, while cracking, eating and spitting the shells of 100 grams of sunflower seeds.
In so doing, Bartal creates a symbolic juxtaposition between the Levantine cultural context – the act of cracking the seeds –,and the poetic result of a perfect, materially comprised circle (made from the shells).
The act of spitting – Middle Eastern, vulgar, indecent – becomes a cultured act resulting in the creation of high, respectable and acceptable art.
The piece is in dialogue with aspects of sub-culture, abjection and proletarianism, and emphasizes connections between social opposites.
The act itself, of an hour spent solely cracking seeds, is a sort of Zen act – silent, repetitive and monotonous. The final result – a ring of shells – architecturally calls to mind a Zen garden. A spiritual act thus arises from vulgarity.

The purpose of this thesis was to identify causes of disparities in affliction (infection) and mortality for minority populations (Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and American Indian/Alaskan Natives) during the Swine Flu (H1N1) and COVID-19 (Sars-Cov-2) Pandemics. A literature review was conducted gathering peer-reviewed journal articles related to racial and socioeconomic disparities in affliction and mortality during both pandemics. The model of Blumenshine et al. (2008) was used as a guide for the analysis of this thesis, and measures of exposure, susceptibility, and treatment were hypothesized as causes for the disparities experienced by the minority populations during the two pandemics. Ultimately, it was established that the causes of the disparities noted were found to be differences in social determinants of health experienced by minority populations including poverty, education, occupation, and housing location. Differences in each of these social determinants of health then led to disparities in exposure, susceptibility, and treatment. All of these disparities combined together caused disproportionate affliction and mortality for minority populations during both pandemics. Organizing disparities in terms of social determinants of health and identifying possible explanations for disparities is important for future pandemic planning, and the model of Blumenshine et al. (2008) is a structured way to hypothesize certain causes of disparities during a pandemic based on social determinants of health. Emphasis needs to be placed on developing a pandemic vulnerability index based on the measures hypothesized so that future pandemic planning can direct resources to those most vulnerable.

br In the following studies we have investigated the abiliti
In the following studies, we have investigated the abilities of NAX compounds to interact with metformin and inhibit the growth of PDAC cell lines. We have investigated the eﬀects of the introduction of one phenyl moiety (NAX012, NAX042), two phenyl moieties (benzhydryl) (NAX035, NAX053) and one heterocycle (pyridine) (NAX075, NAX077). In the monophenyl series, we in-vestigated also the eﬀects of single or multiple electron-releasing (NAX038, NAX054) or electron-withdrawing (NAX014, NAX060, NAX111) substituents. The eﬀects of two diﬀerent lengths of the hydrocarbon linker were also examined. Some of the NAX com-pounds could interact with metformin and inhibit proliferation better than others. The presence of WT-TP53 was determined to influence the electiveness of certain NAX compounds upon co-treatment with metformin.
2. Materials and methods
2.1. Cell lines and tissue culture
Cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagles medium, (DMEM), (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), SPDP containing L-gluta-mine medium supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) purchased from Atlanta Biologicals, Atlanta, GA, USA) as described in
S.M. Akula, et al. Advances in Biological Regulation xxx (xxxx) xxxx
Fig. 5. Eﬀects of Diﬀerent Doses of Metformin in the Presence of No Drugs, 100 nM Berberine, 100 nM NAX038 or 100 nM NAX060 on Colony Formation in AsPC-1 and BxPC-3 PDAC Cells. The eﬀects of either no BBR or 100 nM BBR on the colony formation in the presence of diﬀerent doses of metformin (MET) in AsPC-1 + pLXSN (Adh.) (Panel A) and BxPC-3 + pLXSN (Adh) (Panel D) cells were determined. The eﬀects of either no NAX038 or 100 nM NAX038 on the colony formation in the presence of diﬀerent doses of metformin (MET) in AsPC-1 + pLXSN (Adh.) (Panel B) and BxPC-3 + pLXSN (Adh) (Panel E) were determined. The eﬀects of either no NAX060 or 100 nM NAX060 on the colony formation in the presence of diﬀerent doses of metformin (MET) in AsPC-1 + pLXSN (Adh.) (Panel C) and BxPC-3 + pLXSN (Adh) (Panel F) cells were determined. Diﬀerent treated cell lines were normalized to untreated respective cell line. Statistical analyses were performed in comparison with BBR, NAX038 or NAX060 treated cells vs. metformin-alone treated cells where appropriate by the Student T test on the means and standard deviations of various treatment groups. *** = P < 0.0001, **P < 0.005, *P < 0.05, NS = not statistically significant. r> 2.2. Infection of cells with a retroviral vector encoding WT-TP53
PDAC cell lines were infected with either a retroviral vector encoding WT-TP53 or the empty pLXSN vector as a control as described (Abrams et al., 2018, 2019). Stably infected cell lines were isolated in the presence of 2 mg/ml G418 (geneticin) Sigma-Aldrich. Pools were established after approximately four weeks in culture (Abrams et al., 2018, 2019).
2.3. Methylthiazole tetrazolium assays
Methylthiazole tetrazolium (MTT) assays were performed to determine the sensitivity of the pancreatic cancer cells to the modified NAX compounds and berberine as described (Abrams et al., 2018, 2019). To test the hypothesis that the various IC50s in the PDAC cells treated with the NAX compounds were statistically diﬀerent than in the same cells treated the same day with the parental BBR, student's T tests were performed using Graph Pad Prism (QuickCals) statistical analysis.
2.4. Colony formation assays
Cells were seeded at 500 cells per well into three wells of six well Falcon plates (Falcon/Corning, Durham, NC, USA). Cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of chemotherapeutic drugs, metformin, BBR or NAX compounds. Colonies were propagated for approximately two weeks. When the colony size was approximately forty to 100 cells, the number of colonies were determined after giemsa staining of the colonies in the wells. The number of colonies were determined in three wells per condition and the average and standard deviation determined. The number of colonies in each condition were normalized to the untreated samples.

Pharmaceutical Research Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan 84156, Iran
An efficient method for the Friedel–Crafts acylation of a wide range of aromatic compounds in good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions, using iron zirconium phosphate (ZPFe) was investigated. The catalyst is easy to prepare and shows interesting catalytic properties. The catalyst was characterized by some instrumental techniques such as XRD, ICP-OES, SEM and TEM. A wide variety of benzene derivatives reacted easily with benzoyl chloride and some of its derivatives to afford the corresponding aromatic ketones in clean and good yields with the para isomer predominating typically using 3mol% of catalyst. The use of inexpensive materials, simple and clean work-up, short reaction times in most cases and good yields are the main advantages of this method. This work introduces a new application of this catalyst, not described in the literature until now. Also, the catalyst can be recovered and reused for three times without a significant loss in its activity and selectivity.

Red Bull Racing, with Adrian Newey at the helm, has developed the RB20 as an evolution of the successful RB19, incorporating both mechanical and aerodynamic changes, though its superiority in the upcoming Formula 1 season remains uncertain amidst increasing competition.
‣ Red Bull Racing has consistently produced the top Formula 1 car for two seasons, with the RB20 being their latest creation aimed at maintaining their dominance.
‣ Adrian Newey, the chief designer of the RB20, emphasizes the need for continuous improvement and acknowledges the increasing competition within the grid, highlighting the uncertainty of maintaining their lead.
‣ The RB20 is described as an evolution of its predecessor, the RB19, with modifications in both mechanical and aerodynamic aspects, though its success against competitors remains to be seen.
‣ Technical director Pierre Waché discusses the development process of the RB20, focusing on identifying performance enhancements and addressing driver weaknesses to evolve the car from the previous year’s model.
Oh boy, Red Bull Racing’s done it again. For two whole seasons, they’ve been the kings of the Formula 1 circuit. Everyone’s buzzing about Adrian Newey and his crew. Why? They might’ve just built a rocket on wheels with the RB20.
Adrian Newey, the genius crafting strategies for Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez, is pretty humble. “We can’t just sit back,” he says. The competition was breathing down their necks by last season’s end. Max was phenomenal, no doubt. But that meant extra grind through the winter for the team.
**RB20: A Step Up from RB19?**
Newey spills the beans on the RB20. It’s not just a copy-paste of the RB19. Nope. They’ve tweaked things, both under the hood and on the surface. “But is it enough?” he muses. Formula One’s a mystery until the rubber hits the road. They had a run at Silverstone, and things looked good. But, as Newey puts it, “Who knows?” Maybe someone else has leaped ahead.
Pierre Waché, the technical guru, is feeling optimistic about the RB20. “It’s all about finding that edge,” he explains. They’ve been dissecting the car, figuring out what makes it tick and what ticks off the drivers. It’s a bit like last year but with more oomph.
In essence, Red Bull Racing’s not resting on their laurels. They’re pushing boundaries, tweaking and tuning the RB20. Will it be enough to stay ahead? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: the Formula 1 world is watching, waiting for that next burst of speed.


Social Media News Desk !!! Twitter has now also roped in tech investors and entrepreneur friends linked to Elon Musk in a $44 billion acquisition deal. Its legal battle is scheduled to start from October 17. According to The Washington Post, in a summons, Twitter’s legal team made extensive requests for communications related to the financing of the deal, including checklists, timelines, presentations, decks, organizational calls, meetings, notes, recordings. Those summoned include VC firm founder Andreessen Horowitz (A16Z), former Facebook executive and Social Capital CEO Chamath Palihapitiya, and David Sachs, who helped Musk form financial services firm PayPal. Twitter’s legal team has also dragged Tesla and SpaceX board member Stephen Jurvetson and investors Jason Calacanis, Keith Rabois and Joe Lonsdale into the legal battle. Lonsdale, general partner at VC firm 8VC, described the Twitter summons as a disturbing fishing campaign. Musk or his legal team has yet to comment on the matter. The world’s richest man has filed a retaliatory suit against Twitter over an ongoing legal dispute with the microblogging platform. However, not much is known about the lawsuit yet. In the Twitter vs Musk legal battle, a US judge has set October 17 as the start date for the high-profile trial by five days.

Fiber addition to semolina is important to promote better health, since fibers help to prevent chronical diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Since traditional methods for fiber determination are slow and demand sample preparation, the development of less invasive techniques is necessary. Therefore, near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) was used as a fast and non-destructive method to identify fibers added to semolina.

At its Tuesday meeting, Berkeley City Council deferred action on a resolution to support Berkeley High School’s Stop Harassing campaign, led by a student group that has been petitioning for changes in the school district’s sexual harassment policies.
The agenda item, had it passed, would have urged the Berkeley Unified School District to set standards for preventing and handling sexual harassment cases and invest in education-based training. The proposal encouraged reports by Superintendent Donald Evans on the state of sexual harassment and violence in the schools.
However, the council voted to refer the item to the superintendent and the BUSD Board of Education, after Councilmembers Darryl Moore and Linda Maio said it would be inappropriate for the council to make a decision on an item that concerns the district without it going to the board.
“We’re in it for the long haul — it needs to change. It needs to be better,” said Heidi Goldstein, an adult adviser to Stop Harassing who spoke during public comment. “We were hoping for the council’s support but now we’ll continue with the school board.”
Berkeley High School has been under a Title IX investigation since January, after Goldstein filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights, or OCR, alleging that the school’s handling of sexual harassment and assault cases violated federal law.
Leaders of the campaign, including Goldstein, allege that the district was not complying with the investigation by refusing to allow the OCR to perform interviews or surveys of the students and faculty. But, Judy Appel, BUSD board president, said the reason for these restrictions was to protect students’ privacy and follow parental consent laws rather than to resist the investigation.
U.S. Department of Education spokesperson Jim Bradshaw said in an email that the investigation is still ongoing and the OCR could not provide any details. Goldstein said she hopes that the OCR includes recommendations that invest in evidence-based training programs.
Appel said the district has taken several steps over the past year in responding to students who have spoken out about their experiences with harassment, including those involved with Stop Harassing. She said all teachers have received sexual harassment training.
In December, the organization held a black-out day at the high school, in which students wore black T-shirts purchased through a GoFundMe page. The campaign to change the culture of sexual harassment came in reaction to an administrator’s comments that students felt implied that they should expect to be harassed if they dressed a certain way.
In June, Stop Harassing was awarded the 2015 Champion of Justice Award by Equal Rights Advocates, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that works to promote economic and educational equality for women, for their efforts in creating a safe space for women in schools.

It’s Tax Season–And Social Security Taxation is Again in the Picture
The fact that Social Security benefits may be subject to federal income tax comes as a surprise to many first-year beneficiaries, and it’s certainly not a pleasant surprise. The taxation of benefits is a net that is capturing more and more filers each year as inflation drives up income, and as the thresholds adopted decades ago remain unchanged. When the laws on taxation of benefits were enacted way back in 1983, the intent was that no more than 10% of filers would be affected…today, about 60% are affected, simply because the thresholds have never been adjusted.
So, in case you’re not clear on how this issue applies to your situation, we’ve included today a link to an Investopedia.com post by financial reporter Melissa Horton covering how the taxation issue works. Check it out here…

Letter to the Editor
Here is some suggested text for a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. Your letter needs to be short. You need to include your name, town name, postal code and phone number when you send the letter. Thank you for taking this action.
Many Canadians may not be aware that Health Canada is proposing to remove regulation from most new genetically engineered foods. Your local candidates in the federal election may not even be aware.
Health Canada is proposing to let some new genetically engineered foods onto the market without any government safety checks. In fact, companies wouldn’t even have to tell Health Canada that these new foods exist. Many of these unregulated foods would be produced by the new genetic engineering techniques called gene editing. But gene-edited foods need to be carefully assessed by our government, not just left to companies to evaluate safety.
I want mandatory government safety assessments for all genetically engineered foods. I want to know that all genetically engineered foods have been rigorously assessed for safety by Health Canada, including any new gene-edited foods. I don’t trust private companies to properly test for safety. My vote is for transparency, independent science and government oversight.
There is information and analysis posed by the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network at www.cban.ca/NoExemptions.

“India will build the lunar orbiter and rover. Russia has said they would come to us with a decision after their review,” Radhakrishnan said. Source: PhotoXpress
India’s next moon mission will largely depend on Russia, the head of the Indian space agency told reporters on Sunday.
“Russia is reviewing its inter-planetary missions after a failed joint mission with China. For Chandrayaan-2, Russia has to provide the lander,” K. Radhakrishnan, chief of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said at a press-conference in Sriharikota.
“India will build the lunar orbiter and rover. Russia has said they would come to us with a decision after their review,” Radhakrishnan said.
Chandrayaan-2 is planned for 2014 with India's heavier rocket -- Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). Radhakrishnan told reporters that ISRO will ready the rocket and also the lunar orbiter and rover. He declined to comment on reports that India’s second lunar mission may get delayed till 2016.
The ISRO on Sunday launched a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C21 carrying SPOT 6, a 712-kg French earth observation satellite, and Proiteres, a 15-kg Japanese micro satellite, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, making it the agency’s 100th mission. The agency has a Mars mission scheduled for 2013.
ISRO is now eagerly looking forward to its Mars mission planned for next year. Denying that India was in race with China for the Mars mission, Radhakrishnan said: “Mars mission is a challenging one where we will develop new technologies.”
Chandrayaan-1 was India's first unmanned lunar probe. It was launched by the ISRO in October 2008, and operated until August 2009. The mission included a lunar orbiter and an impactor.
The plan for Chandrayaan-2 (or Luna-Resurs, as it is known at Roscosmos) foresees India’s GSLV taking an orbital module to the Moon, with a Russian-made lander (designed by the Lavochkin Science & Production Association) carrying a small Indian rover on board.
The mission is aimed at exploring lunar soil at as far a distance away from the landing site as possible, and confirming the presence of water there.
Delay in Chandrayaan-2?
While ISRO’s Radhakrishnan declined to comment on potential delays for Chandrayaan-2, Russian scientists have said that the mission may be delayed to 2016.
Officials of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), which will be providing the lander for the Chandrayaan-2, said earlier in the year that the failure of the Russian Mars mission in January would cause a delay in the construction of the lander.
Academician Lev Zelyony, head of the Russian Space Research Institute, said in February that the Luna-Resource lander may not be ready till 2016. “There were plans to launch the Luna-Glob and Luna-Resource missions in 2015,” Zelyony told RIA Novosti earlier this year. “But the dates may have to be moved, as the technical solutions that were used with NPO Lavochkin’s Phobos-Grunt were also used in the lunar projects and they clearly need to be reviewed.”
The Phobos-Grunt spacecraft, launched in November to retrieve soil samples from the Martian moon Phobos, became stuck in Earth's orbit after its engines failed to fire and crashed back to Earth in January. A Russian government commission set up to investigate the probe failure blamed it on a burst of heavy charged space radiation that caused the onboard computers to reboot and go into standby mode.

text: Our color palette this week has been a rosy pink, yellow and peach, so we thought this inspiration photo could provide some brainstorming for combining this color palette in your home. (don’t forget we suggested 3 Benjamin Moore paint colors on Monday to help you with this palette) This is room is a bit country in feel, we chose some more tailored designs as suggestions to help achieve this look. We started with a tride and true Benjamin Moore paint color called Rose Petal. Rose Petal is a cross between peach and pink- it doesn’t look too orange when you get it on the walls. We love this color! When selecting a sofa most stores have numerous colors of fabrics to choose from, so ask if you can see all the colors. The one we show above is the Sawyer Sofa in Rhubarb from Maine Cottage. (Maine Cottage has many many prints and colors!) Since the sofa we selected is solid (vs. the inspirational photo which is in a print) we chose some solid and patterned pillows, Eclipse Lemon Pillow from Crate and Barrel and the Rose Stripe Pillow from Hable Construction. Pictured below are some additional pieces we found in the market- the Hutton Chair from Room & Board, Preppy Pastel Rug in Pink from Land of Nod and assorted pillows from Hable Construction. This is quite a bold room but this palette is certainly fun to play with. As we always suggest, start with a paint color you have in mind for the walls and take the paint chip with you shopping to help guide your selections. Also if you haven’t heard of 1stdibs.com take a look! It’s amazing stores from all over the world, you might be able to find a color or item that you can’t find at your local stores.

Why Is My Dog Eating Grass?
Have you ever taken your dog outside, only to find…
Prior to looking for pet insurance, I did a lot of research on the Boxer breed and what types of accidents and illnesses they were prone to. What I found out was I needed to look for an insurance company that covered congenital, hereditary and chronic conditions as they are susceptible to conditions such as cancer, heart disease and hip dysplasia. (Low and behold, my third Boxer, Capone, was diagnosed with heart disease at age 6 — good thing I did my research).
Like most people I used Google to do my research. Back in 2009, there weren’t as many pet insurance companies as there are now in 2016. I called the first three companies that showed up in my search. The first two companies only had recordings asking me to leave my information and “someone” would get back to me. They required me to fill out an online quote application and their websites had minimal information about the pet health insurance coverage. The last company I called — and agenuine, kind and animal loving lady answeredthe phone. She didn’t only ask about my dog, she asked about me. We immediately bonded and I had the greatest feeling inside, not only was I doing something to protect my new dog’s health, I was protecting my financial future!
I signed up and was sent my policy packet within 24 hours. I was instantly relieved knowing my new dog would receive best veterinary care possible without any limitations. The personalized attention I received from PetFirst Pet Insurance and their entire staff is the best EVER! I always felt like I was there only client. I was never rushed on the phone, and was always asked if I understood everything before each call ended.
On one specific occasion, I called PetFirst and was hysterical on the phone. My dog had suffered a heart attack and was in the ICU. I didn’t have a claim form with me at the hospital, and wanted to make sure I would be able to submit one for this issue – because I knew it was going to be expensive.
I called from my car and Darci in customer service immediately answered the phone. Before she asked what was wrong with my dog, she talked me down from crying and asking “why, why, why did this happen to my furbaby.” She asked me to talk about the good times and funny things he does, and eventually made me laugh. After Darci and I went over why I was at the hospital, she offered to send the claim to the hospital directly. Not only did she do all of that for me, she gave me the contact information for PetFirst Claims Department — that was just the beginning of building a wonderful friendship with Vicky in Claims.
Research the breed of dog or cat, and call the company directly. The customer service you receive over the phone is often what you will receive throughout your entire time as a customer.

The FDA has authorized the first COVID-19 vaccine for kids age 12 to 15. But there’s still a lot of vaccine hesitancy and skepticism, and many parents wonder if their kids should get the vaccine.
Should kids get vaccinated against COVID-19?
Dr. Tina Tan, professor of pediatrics at the Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University and an infectious diseases attending physician at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago
Dr. William Schaffner, professor of health policy and preventative medicine, Vanderbilt University
Yes, kids should get vaccinated for COVID-19, for their own health and the safety of their community.
WHAT WE FOUND
A new poll from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that only 29 percent of parents (with kids under 18 years old) will get their children vaccinated right away; 32 percent want to wait to see how the vaccine is working; 15 percent say they’ll only do it if their school requires a vaccine; and 19 percent say they definitely won’t get their child vaccinated.
CDC data shows less than 300 kids have died from COVID-19, far fewer than any other age group, but experts say those numbers don’t tell the whole story.
“I think death is kind of a very shortsighted way of looking at this, because we do know that children can suffer from severe COVID disease,” Dr. Tina Tan said.
Nationwide, at least 15,000 children have been hospitalized with COVID-19, according to data from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
“We've seen kids as young as three months of age hospitalized with COVID, in an intensive care unit, on a ventilator,” Dr. Tan said. “And they got the COVID from one of their family members.”
Experts say the best way to protect kids against COVID-19 is to get them vaccinated.
Pfizer’s adolescent trial tested its vaccine on more than 1,100 kids aged 12 to 15. Early results indicate none of them got COVID-19, making it 100 percent effective.
More than 2,000 kids 12 to 17 years old received Moderna’s vaccine during its adolescent trial. Early results show 96 percent efficacy.
Experts are also concerned about children spreading the virus.
The newest CDC data shows far more COVID cases among children under 18 than seniors over 65 years old.
“[Kids] can give the virus to others,” Dr. William Schaffner said. “Remember, there are children and adults who are immunocompromised, who cannot either receive the vaccine or who will have a much diminished response. How do we protect our frail brothers and sisters? All the rest of us get protected.”
And experts say the more COVID-19 spreads, the greater the chance it could mutate and make the current vaccines less effective.
Experts estimate to reach herd immunity, or something close to it, roughly 70 to 90 percent of Americans need to be vaccinated. And U.S. census data shows kids under 18 make up roughly 22 percent of the U.S. population.
“Theoretically you could [reach herd immunity without vaccinating children] if you look at the numbers,” Dr. Fauci told VERIFY in January. “But if you look at the numbers, given the fact that not every adult is going to get vaccinated, you’re likely going to have to include children in that.”
Now that the FDA has authorized a vaccine for adolescents, experts say the CDC will make recommendations for parents to consider. The CDC continually updates recommendations for adults receiving COVID-19 vaccines.
“The only children who should not be vaccinated with the mRNA vaccines at this time are those that have anaphylaxis to influenza vaccine or any of the components in the COVID-19 vaccine,” Dr. Tan said. “It is strongly recommended that immunocompromised children be vaccinated since they are at higher risk for developing severe COVID-19 disease and complications if they get COVID.”
Experts recommend parents with more complicated concerns about their children and any underlying medical conditions contact their pediatrician.
Experts agree that children need to be vaccinated for COVID, not just to protect them, but to prevent further spread and mutation of the virus.
“Let's protect as many children as we can, as quickly as we can,” Dr. Schaffner said. “It works for measles. It works for polio, why are we hesitant for COVID?”
More from VERIFY: Yes, kids 12 and up will get the same COVID vaccine dose as adults

Iron and steel, the most commonly used metals, corrode in many media including most outdoor atmospheres. Usually they are selected not for their corrosion resistance but for such properties as strength, ease of fabrication, and cost. These differences show up in the rate of metal lost due to rusting. All steels and low-alloy steels rust in moist atmospheres. In some circumstances, the addition of 0.3% copper to carbon steel can reduce the rate of rusting by one quarter or even by one half. A modern and comprehensive document on the subject is the second edition of the classic CORROSION BASICS textbook. Some excerpts of that document are used here.
The elements copper, phosphorus, chromium and nickel have all been shown to improve resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Formation of a dense, tightly adhering rust scale is a factor in lowering the rate of attack. The improvement may be sufficient to encourage use without protection, and can also extend paint life by decreasing the amount of corrosion underneath the paint. The rate of rusting will usually be higher in the first year of atmospheric exposure than in subsequent years, and will increase significantly with the degree of pollution and moisture in the air.
Ordinary steels are essentially alloys of iron and carbon with small additions of elements such as manganese and silicon added to provide the requisite mechanical properties. The steels are manufactured from a mixture of pig iron and scrap, which is treated in the molten state to remove excess carbon and other impurities. The steel may be continuously cast into strands or cast into individual ingots. The final product is then produced by rolling, drawing or forging. During hot rolling and forging the steel surface is oxidized by air and the scale produced, usually termed millscale. In air, the presence of millscale on the steel may reduce the corrosion rate over comparatively short periods, but over longer periods the rate tends to rise. In water, severe pitting of the steel may occur if large amounts of millscale are present on the surface.
Carbon and low alloy steels can suffer from SCC in a wide range of environments that tend to form a protective passivating film of oxide or other species. Cracking will not normally occur when there is a significant corrosion rate (note that this is not the case for hydrogen embrittlement - see below). A wide range of environments have been found to cause SCC, including strong caustic solutions, phosphates, nitrates, carbonates, and hot water. The problems are important for both economic and safety reasons. (reference)
Caustic cracking of steam-generating boilers was a serious problem in the late 19th century (the necessary strong caustic solution was produced by evaporation of the very dilute solution inside the boiler as it escaped through leaks in the riveted seams) and boiler explosions led to significant loss of life. More recently gas transmission pipelines have cracked in carbonate solutions produced under protective coatings as a result of cathodic protection systems. In this case the crack runs along the length of the pipe, and may propagate for very long distances by fast fracture. If the gas cloud that is released ignites, the resultant fireball is devastating.

Here we listed out five upcoming SUVs for enthusiasts in India
India Loves SUVs. Apart from regular urban-focused SUVs, there is a growing demand for capable SUVs in India. While the numbers of off-road capable SUVs are limited, automakers are now planning to offer their SUVs with some serious off-roading abilities. Here, we have listed out five upcoming SUVs for enthusiasts in India.
Jeep India recently revealed its plan to launch two new SUVs in the country. While one will mark the carmaker’s entry into the subcompact SUV space, the second one will be a 7-seater machine. Codenamed Jeep Low-D, the new 7-seater SUV is likely to be manufactured locally with Compass at Fiat’s Ranjangaon facility. Powering the vehicle could be the BS6-compliant 170bhp, 2.0L Multijet II diesel engine with a 6-speed manual and a 9-speed automatic gearbox options. It might also be offered with a 1.4L MultiAir petrol powertrain. The new Jeep 7-seater SUV might also come with all-wheel-drive layout, thus making it a good off-road SUV. Attributes like high ground clearance, powerful engine and dual-purpose tyres will further enhance its overall performance.
Expected Launch – 2020-21
Expected Price – Rs 25 lakh – 30 lakh
The home-grown UV maker, Mahindra & Mahindra is working on the new-generation Thar SUV. The new model, which has been spotted testing multiple times, will be based on all-new platform meeting the upcoming BNVASP standards. The same architecture will also be used in the next-generation Scorpio. The SUV’s all-new model will also be longer and safer than the existing one. Reports suggest that the 2020 Mahindra Thar will feature a new BS6-ready 2.0L turbo diesel engine with 4X4 drivetrain system. It’s likely to be more refined and capable on the highway. While the original design and boxy stance will be retained, it will see significant cosmetic upgrades. Interior will also be more feature loaded.
Expected Launch – 2020
Expected Price – Rs 7.5 lakh – Rs 11 lakh
The Mahindra Scorpio is certainly one of the most capable SUVs currently on sale in India. Attributes like excellent steering feedback, high ground clearance, capable engine and all-wheel drive system make it a perfect SUV for both highways and tough terrains. The company is planning to give a generation change to its capable off-road SUV sometime next year. The 2020 Mahindra Scorpio will be based on an updated platform; though, it will continue to feature a body-on-frame chassis. Design and styling of the new model will completely different from existing one. Major changes will also be made under the hood. The 2020 Scorpio might come with a new BS6-ready 160bhp, 2.0L diesel engine instead of the existing 140bhp, 2.2L mHawk oil burner. Besides a more power engine, the SUV is likely to get an automatic transmission with front-wheel-drive (FWD) system.
Expected Launch – 2020
Expected Price – Rs 12 lakh – Rs 18 lakh
4. Tata Buzzard
Tata Harrier, which was launched early this year, will soon receive a new more powerful 7-seater version. The 7-seater version of the SUV made its debut as Tata Buzzard at the Geneva Motor Show in March, 2019. The India-spec model, however, will come with a different nameplate. The Tata Buzzard will share its platform (Omega), design elements and features with the 5-seater Harrier. Though, the carmaker has made minor cosmetic changes to its bigger version. While its wheelbase will be similar to the Harrier (2741mm), it will be 62mm longer. Under the hood, the Buzzard will feature the Harrier’s 2.0L turbocharged diesel engine with a 6-speed manual or an optional 6-speed torque converter gearbox. This oil burner will be tuned for delivering extra power (around 170PS). Once launched, the Tata Buzzard will go head-to-head against the Mahindra XUV500 and the upcoming MG Hector 7-seater.
Expected Launch – End of 2019
Expected Price – Rs 15 lakh – Rs 22 lakh
5. MG Maxus D90
The British carmaker, MG Motor recently introduced its first product in the Indian market. Called the MG Hector, the SUV takes on the multiple models including Hyundai Creta, Renault Captur, Nissan Kicks, Tata Harrier and Jeep Compass. The carmaker has already confirmed that it will also bring in the 7-seater version of the Hector. Aiming to tap the large SUV segment, the company might roll out the MG Maxus D90 against Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour. Reports claim that MG’s new 7-seater SUV will hit Indian roads during 2019 festive season. However, there is no official word about its launch timeline. Measuring 5005mm in length, 1932mm in width and 1875mm in height with a wheelbase of 2950mm, the Maxus D90 will be the biggest SUV in its league. In India, it could be offered with petrol and diesel powertrains paired to a 6-speed manual or an automatic gearbox.
Expected Launch – 2019 Festive Season
Expected Price – Rs 30 lakh – Rs 35 lakh


Iron Horse bikes and Tony Ellsworth will team up to create suspension designs for use in the 2010 Iron Horse range.
Iron Horse will introduce the designs with the line due to debut in September 2009.
Ellsworth’s ICT design is claimed to conserve energy because normal pedalling action won’t activate the suspension. Its inclusion could mean big things for the Iron Horse/Monster Energy Professional Racing Team.
Iron Horse aren’t yet ready to reveal the details of the 2010 range but when asked about ICT implementation Martin Astley, Iron Horse’s UK brand manager, told BikeRadar, “The Iron Horse range for 2010 will remain very much Iron Horse’s own project, the suspension will be based on the ICT system but will be adapted to suit the specific requirements of each model in the range. We will not just be bolting Ellsworth rear ends straight onto Iron Horse bikes.”
He also confirmed that, “ICT will be used on all high end Iron Horse bikes and all Iron Horse race teams will be using this technology in the future.”
The news may be in part a reaction to Dave Weagle’s decision not to re-license DW-Links to Iron Horse last July. Their contract will expire in March 2009.
Martin is still excited about the 2009 line up, the last to include DW-Links.
“2010 is still a long way off,” he said, “We’re just about to launch the 2009 DW-Link range to the public which is by far Iron Horse’s strongest line to date. We’ve managed to get some high performance bikes in at better price points than ever before.”

Researchers do not know how telepathic communication is activated between humans and aliens. At least three scenarios are possible. The first suggests that each human has an innate physiological ability to communicate telepathically with other humans and the aliens in some way “tap into” that normally unused facility. In fact, it is not uncommon for ordinary people to claim that they can “read” people’s minds. Researchers engaged in testing whether extrasensory perception is genuine have hotly debated the existence of these abilities. So far the evidence, while highly suggestive, is still inconclusive and these claims have not been consistently valid. If this ability was authentic and all humans shared it even slightly, it would have early on become a central feature of human thought, culture, and life. The profound effect it would have had on almost all human relations would most certainly have made human history very different than what it has been. In fact, very little evidence exists that every human has a biological ability to telepathically communicate. And, the majority of humans do not claim to have innate telepathic powers. Therefore, telepathic communication is not and has not been a valid and recognized form of human communication.
If telepathy is not physiologically innate, a second scenario might apply: abductee telepathy is artificially stimulated by neurological manipulations and/or alterations. Thus, aliens provide humans with telepathic abilities by biologically affecting permanent changes in brain chemistry. If this were the case, one would expect that this telepathic ability would continue after abduction events. In fact, some abductees do claim this happens. They say that after some abductions they have a gradually decreasing ability to read peoples’ minds for as long as several weeks afterward. Unfortunately, no scientific studies have been mounted to substantiate this and the abductees have not checked with those people who are the object of their mind reading to ascertain their accuracy. But, even if this were true, one would expect that given the high frequency of abductions for most abductees, telepathic abilities would last over the course of many abductees’ lifetimes and would play an increasingly important role in human life. This has not happened.
It is, of course, possible that the biological changes causing telepathic capacity respond to stimuli only originating with alien causative factors isolated in time. This would mean that telepathy could be activated for an abduction event and then deactivated after. If the deactivation is in some way incomplete, and a residue of it lingers and wanes, abductees might gain a sense of telepathic communication with other humans in nonabduction events. This might explain the abductee reports of post-abduction telepathic abilities.
The third possibility for telepathic response is that it is caused by manufactured devices implanted into abductees’ brains. The implantation of such a device might take place during infancy or early childhood. It could be activated and deactivated automatically for an abduction. Sometimes these devices might be “faulty” in some way and, like the faulty deactivation of biological changes, and cause the telepathic response to continue for a period after an abduction. So far, researchers have yet to discover any such implant in a characteristic region of the brain, recover it, and then show its function. But, there is always a possibility that this might happen.
Whatever the causative factor, a form of telepathic communication starts at the very beginning of virtually every abduction event. While it is not necessarily converted into words, the abductees know what is conveyed to them. Aliens can initiate this type of telepathic communication even before the abductees see them. For example, abductees “know” that they must go to bed, get out of bed, go downstairs, go outside, drive somewhere, stop the car, or do whatever activities the nonverbal orders have them do so that the abduction can begin.
It is important to understand that all reports of personally directed complex telepathic communication between abductees and aliens from a long distance are usually examples of channeling. The evidence very strongly suggests that aliens are not in communication with abductees apart from abductions. Thus, one must be exceptionally cautious about people’s accounts of having personal dialogues in their normal environments with aliens on a continuing basis. In the same sense, “messages” to abductees should also be looked upon with extreme skepticism.
Telepathic communication is deactivated just as mysteriously as when it begins. Abductees do not report procedures whereby the aliens cause telepathic communication to cease. If this were the case, researchers would be seeing it at the end of every abduction event. Sometimes abductees report the residue of telepathic abilities that slowly dissipates over a period of a few weeks. This might be evidence that activation/deactivation is not dependent on artificially constructed devices.

s you probably already know, motherhood begins before the birth of a baby—while the baby is still so tiny and secure within the womb. Moms want to protect their children long before the actual due date and often seek ways to keep themselves healthy so their baby can be healthy, too, including regular exercise. One common form of exercise for pregnant women is prenatal yoga, which includes a series of safe and gentle poses that can benefit both mom and baby.
If you have never practiced yoga of any type and want to start during pregnancy, it might be a good idea to take some prenatal yoga classes, either in-person or via YouTube before pregnancy, so you know what to expect. However, if you are at least a little familiar with the practice and want to learn about poses that will most benefit you and your little one, read on!
When Should You Start Prenatal Yoga?
So, now that you know there is a safe form of exercise you can do while pregnant—when should you start?
Fortunately, prenatal yoga is an exercise that can safely be done and continued through all trimesters of pregnancy and can be practiced as early as the beginning of the first trimester. However, waiting until the second trimester and after “morning sickness” to begin a daily prenatal yoga regime might be best for some women. (Source: Very Well Family)
What Yoga Poses Are Safe During Pregnancy?
You may not help but wonder if prenatal yoga is safe to do during your pregnancy. Should you really be twisting your body like that and turning yourself upside down? Should you really be standing on only one leg?
Rest assured, only safe and gentle yoga poses are practiced during a prenatal yoga class. This is because some traditional yoga poses are not safe to do during pregnancy for example, poses involving deep twists may put too much pressure on the belly or other organs in the body. In contrast, prenatal yoga uses safer forms of traditional poses, such as:
- Basic standing poses
- Open seated twist poses
- Hip opener poses
- Gentle abdominal poses
- Back stretches
However, despite how safe prenatal yoga is, it is always best to consult with a doctor before practicing. Women at an increased risk for preterm labor, heart disease, or back problems may not be able to do prenatal yoga.
5 Safe and Gentle Prenatal Poses
If regularly practiced, the following safe and gentle prenatal poses can improve your sleep, reduce your stress and anxiety, and decrease your lower back pain and nausea:
The Virabhadrasana 1 (Warrior 1) Pose
Sometimes worrying about how your baby is doing inside you can cause tension, and our muscles may get so tight they start to ache. The Virabhadrasana pose, also known as the Warrior 1 pose, is a basic yoga pose for beginners that will help ease the tension.
This prenatal yoga pose offers the following benefits:
- Stretches your chest and lungs, shoulders and neck, belly, and groins
- Strengthens your shoulders and arms, and the muscles of the back
- Strengthens and stretches your thighs, calves, and ankles
In a Warrior 1 pose, your arms are stretched upwards with hands pointed upwards. Your leg is bent forward in almost a lunge position while your back leg is kept straight. Your back is straight but slightly leaning forward.
Keep in mind your balance during pregnancy shifts. So, while this pose builds strength in your joints and muscles, it must be practiced cautiously until one gets used to the change in their balance.
The Sukhasana Pose
Pregnancy can be so busy! Some of you, while pregnant, have professional jobs to hold down, chores at home to be done, meals to cook, and other children to attend to during the day. Oh, and don’t forget about the prenatal classes to attend, the nursery to decorate, the baby shower to attend, and those weekly doctor appointments.
Sometimes, you just need a few minutes to calm down and breathe slowly and meditate, escape and the Sukhasana pose can help. It also:
- Strengthens the muscles of your back
- Improves your body posture
- Relaxes your mind and body
You should be in a seated position for the Virabhadrasana (Warrior 1) pose. It is almost like a seated cross-legged position, only your legs are not crossed over. Your legs should be bent at the knees with the feet close to and facing the groin area. One foot is placed in front of the other one while the hands rest on the thighs.
It is also essential to keep your back straight. If this pose proves too strenuous for your back during pregnancy, it is suggested that you try the pose against a wall, a high sofa, or against a stack of large firm pillows.
The Paschimottanasana (Standing Forward Bend) Pose
How many old wives’ tales about pregnancy have you heard? Most likely, you’ve heard advice about sensing the gender of your baby or how best to stop your morning sickness. But what you rarely hear about is how to stop the depression and anxiety that sometimes seeps in.
The Paschimottanasana pose, also known as the standing forward bend, can ease this depression and anxiety. This classic yoga pose also helps:
- Relieve your stress
- Stretch your tight hamstrings, spine and shoulders
- Soothe your headaches and reduce fatigue
To do the traditional pose, you will need to sit on the floor (or on a padded mat) and bend forward. Your legs should be held together and stretched straight out in front with the feet placed together. Your hands should touch the sides of each foot.
However, as your belly begins to grow, you will need to adjust this pose accordingly to leave room for the baby. From this same position, start to place your feet a little wider apart. Place small pillows or yoga blocks under each of your hands for support.
The Marjaryasana (Cat) Pose
During those busier days, your back may start to ache from bending over to retrieve that file at work, when you have to bend over to pick up your other child, or when you bend to carry that load of laundry. Luckily, the Marjaryasana pose (also known as the Cat pose) can ease your back pains.
This position looks akin to the image of a cat stretching its back upwards as it stands up. The cat pose will benefit you because it:
- Stretches your back, torso, and neck
- Stimulates and strengthens your abdominal area
- Opens your chest, which allows your breathing to become slow and deep
To do this pose, your feet, calves, and knees should be on the floor. Your spine and back should be rounded upwards with your arms straight below the shoulder, and your hands placed flat on the floor. Your neck and head should be bent downward. If done correctly, this pose will feel like a gentle massage to the spine.
Note: The Cat pose should be done only if it feels comfortable. This pose helps to stretch and strengthen your back it should not put more of a strain on it or feel uncomfortable.
The Bitlasana (Cow) Pose
What? Oh, yes, that’s right—brain fog. It happens while you are pregnant and even after you’ve gone through labor. Slowly, it descends upon you like a natural morning fog drifting in. Maybe you cannot recall where you put your phone, or you cannot recall your banking PIN. Maybe you cannot recall when you are supposed to be somewhere.
Regardless of what you’ve been forgetting, the good news is the Bitlasana pose (also known as the Cow pose) is especially beneficial for both your body and your mind.
The Bitslasana pose also:
- Stretches your front torso and neck
- Provides you with a gentle massage to the spine
- Powers your brain and improves focus
This pose is similar to the cat pose (above) by beginning in the “tabletop” position. However, you should begin this pose by inhaling and pushing your belly down towards the floor, stretching your head and neck upward rather than downward.
Note: This pose often works best when done before or after the Cat pose. Also, like the Cat pose, only perform this move if it feels comfortable.
How Many Times a Week Should I Do Prenatal Yoga?
How many times a week prenatal yoga should be done depends solely on what your body is accustomed to and can tolerate. Prenatal yoga should always feel good, and each woman and pregnancy are entirely different. Some of you are accustomed to doing yoga, or some other form of exercise—often during the week—while others of you are not.
This is another reason why it is so important to consult your doctor before beginning any form of exercise during pregnancy. Your doctor will decide if it is safe to perform prenatal yoga and suggest how many times a week prenatal yoga can be safely done in your case.
In general, though, for most pregnant women, 30 minutes of moderate physical activity is okay to do seven days a week. Prenatal yoga is an exercise that is often recommended because it can safely help a woman stay in shape and prepare for the birth of her baby. Just keep in mind that you should never push your limits or try to do any physical activity that does not feel comfortable while pregnant.
If you feel inspired by prenatal yoga, you may want to consider become a teacher. You can even get a prenatal yoga instructor certification online.
What happens once the kid is here? Well there is yoga for them too! You can learn to teach that as well with a children’s yoga certification online!
Are there any poses to avoid in prenatal and postnatal yoga?
Certain yoga poses should be avoided or modified during pregnancy and the postpartum period to ensure safety and comfort:
- Deep twists: These can compress the abdominal area and should be avoided.
- Inversions: Inversions may cause dizziness or increase the risk of falling, so they should be avoided or practiced with caution and proper support.
- Lying on the back for extended periods: This position can restrict blood flow to the fetus and should be avoided, especially after the first trimester. Props can be used to support the upper body in a reclined position.
- Intense core work: Avoid intense abdominal exercises until the core has regained strength and any diastasis recti (abdominal separation) has healed.
- Overstretching: Relaxin, a hormone that increases flexibility during pregnancy, may still be present in the body, so avoid overstretching to prevent injury.
- High-impact poses: High-impact or strenuous poses should be approached with caution and gradually reintroduced as the body recovers.
How wonderful that prenatal yoga is so beneficial and safe to do while pregnant! In earlier days, pregnant women were often told not to exercise at all, this caused many pregnant women to become depressed during pregnancy and after the birth of their baby. However, today, it is known that prenatal yoga can help prevent and/or reduce the likelihood of post-partum depression.
Prenatal yoga is designed specifically for pregnant women. It addresses concerns that arise during pregnancy, such as anxiety, stress, nausea, back pain, shortness of breath, and general all-over aches and pains. It can also improve sleep, relieve headaches, increase strength and flexibility, and better the endurance of the muscles needed for labor. With all the benefits of prenatal yoga, why not give it a try? Start with any of the basic poses we covered above!

The incident started earlier in the evening as a minor altercation between two students who lived in the same dormitory building. According to police, the suspect in the case — a 20-year-old student — confronted the victim in another student’s dorm room following the altercation.
At one point the suspect shoved the victim, and the victim responded by punching the suspect in the face, possibly breaking his nose, according to Arlington County Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck. The suspect then took out a small folding knife and cut the victim across the lower area of the stomach, from the front of his body to his back, exposing his intestines and cutting his pancreas, Sternbeck said.
When police arrived they found a large crowd of people around the victim, who was holding a t-shirt over his stab wound. They also observed someone throwing beer and liquor out of the room where the incident occurred, according to Sternbeck.
The victim was transported to the trauma center at Inova Fairfax Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police found the suspect in a dorm room with his girlfriend. There was blood “all over the room,” Sternbeck said, primarily as a result of his broken nose.
Francis Joseph “Frankie” Maguire, 20, of Burke, Va., was arrested and charged with malicious wounding. He was to be held without bond until his arraignment, scheduled for today. No charges have been filed against the 18-year-old victim at this time.
No word on what the argument between the two men was about. Court records show that Maguire has also been charged with selling drugs on school property and the distribution of marijuana.
After the incident, Marymount’s Director of Campus Safety sent an email to students assuring them that “this was an isolated incident, and there was no danger to the campus community.”
