ATLANTA – Tim Green, a first-round draft pick who played eight seasons for the Atlanta Falcons before becoming a television commentator, best-selling author and lawyer, has announced that he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS.
Green has kicked off his fundraising efforts for ALS research by launching a website – www.TackleALS.com/teams/Atlanta-Falcons – and will tell his story to the world during an episode of "60 Minutes" that will air at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday night.
Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United owner Arthur Blank will be matching up to $100,000 in donations to Green's Tackle ALS fund.
ALS, a disease which is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease – named after the former New York Yankees legend whose life was cut short by it – is a progressive neurodegenerative disease in which the breaking down of nerve cells eventually leads to the reduced functionality in the muscles they supply. As these areas degenerate, it leads to scarring or hardening – "sclerosis" – in the region.
According to ALSA.org, the disease "usually strikes people between the ages of 40 and 70, and it is estimated there are more than 20,000 Americans who have the disease at any given time."
Green, the 17th-overall pick of the Falcons in the 1986 NFL Draft, made the announcement that he has been battling ALS last Tuesday on his Facebook page.
"While the football field is far away, I find myself in a formidable struggle," Green wrote. "For the past five years I've been coping with some neurological problems in my hands. At first the doctors thought the damage I'd done to my elbows in football was the culprit, so they operated to release the nerves, but the issue persisted and my voice began to weaken as well. That's the only reason I've had to stop visiting schools to talk with kids. Finally, I was diagnosed with ALS. That's the bad news."
Green, who retired from football after the 1993 season, recorded 24 sacks and started 71 games during his career for the Falcons, also noted that there is "good news."
"Like many conditions, ALS has different forms," Green wrote. "While of course I'd rather not have it at all, I am extremely grateful that mine is a slow-progressing version of the disease."
A two-time All-American while playing at Syracuse University, Green's accomplishments and work stretched beyond the football field. He eventually earned his law degree, worked in television – including the shows "FOX NFL Sunday," "Good Morning America" and "A Current Affair."
Green is also a New York Times best-selling author. Green wrote about his football experience in "The Dark Side of the Game: My Life in the NFL" and then made a children's book about the game.

Discovered where NATO specializes in spying on the Russian Navy
“Keflavik plays an important role in tracking the Northern Fleet, which is the largest fleet of the Russian Navy, accounting for 75% of the Russian naval power,” the expert wrote in the article.
During the World War, the Allies established an important joint airbase at Keflavik, Iceland. Airbase-based aircraft provided vital anti-submarine warfare and reconnaissance support to Allied supply convoys traveling from North America to Great Britain with supplies essential to the effort. war.
During the Cold War, the airbase was a key station for hunting down Soviet nuclear submarines that roamed the Atlantic. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, there was a time when Keflavik was abandoned, but the Pentagon decided to renovate the facility in 2017 with an allotted budget of $22 million. In April, the US VI Fleet conducted exercise Northern Viking 22 in the region, demonstrating options for synergies with NATO allies.
According to expert Stavros Atlamazoglou, the military base in Iceland is also an ideal springboard to exploit the rich resources of the Arctic. such as natural gas, oil and minerals, underneath the ice – has begun to melt.

Hey everyone, I’m so excited to have my friend and author Liz Johnson here today! Liz and I bonded over a favorite Monday night TV show. Teen Wolf. Don’t judge! Great cast, great writing, great romance and suspense…speaking of romantic suspense Liz is sharing the inspiration behind her newest Love Inspired Suspense, Stolen Memories, sharing some fun facts about herself as well as giving away a copy of the book! Liz, thanks so much for being here! Tell us what inspired this story.
(Liz) “Stolen Memories came about in an entirely new way for me. A little over a year ago, I received a call from my literary agent. The editors at Love Inspired Suspense were putting together a continuity series featuring books from six of their authors, and I had been invited to participate. My agent asked if I was interested. Of course, I was. I jumped at the chance to work with the talented authors writing the other books in the series. We were each assigned a book in the Witness Protection series and worked together to keep the overall story arc flowing smoothly between books about the different characters. It was a brand new writing format for me. I’d never collaborated with other authors like this, and, while there were some unique challenges to keeping all the story lines and secrets in place, I really enjoyed the camaraderie and encouragement of working together.”
(Jessica) That is so cool, Liz! Now I have to read the other ones. Now that we know how the story came about, tell us three fun facts about yourself so readers can get to know better.
3 fun facts about Liz:
I played the alto saxophone from 5th to 10th grade. And there’s a very good reason that I haven’t picked it up since then. (I wasn’t very good.) J But I always wanted to have a musical talent.
When I was a kid, I wanted to live during the American Civil War. Now that I know it wasn’t as romantic as the books made it out to be, I’m glad to be alive in modern times. But I’m still fascinated with the 1860s and love to read fiction and nonfiction about the people and places of the era. And since I moved to Middle Tennessee, I love visiting the historic plantations that played a part in America’s history.
I’m a terrible cook, but I made a commitment to get better at it this year. So far I’ve conquered BBQ chicken in my slow cooker and tacos and frozen…just about anything.
(Jessica) Ha! I’m good at frozen anything too and I just made BBQ in my crock pot on Monday. Great minds, eh?!
Thank you so much for visiting with us today and congratulations on your new 3-book Contemporary Romance contract with Revell. Can’t wait to read them!

With no answers and no place to go, Julie accepts Detective Zach Jones's offer to help her solve both mysteries. The handsome, loyal cop makes her feel safe. But someone is trying very hard to make sure her memories stay buried forever.

Police in the southern province of Dong Nai have arrested a former traffic police officer for allegedly shooting his boss to death at their police station a week ago.
Sources told Thanh Nien News that former Captain Ngo Van Vinh, 38, was apprehended at 10 p.m. Friday at Dong Nai General Hospital's Neurological Surgery Department, where he was being treated.
Vinh will be detained for four months to investigate him on charges of "murder under provocation."
Dong Nai investigators and prosecutors said evidence collected showed that Vinh shot Major Tran Ngoc Son, deputy head of the traffic control station in Long Khanh Town's Suoi Tre Commune, in the back with a pistol on September 22.
Senior Lieutenant Doan Thanh Phu was also shot when he tried to intervene.
Son, Phu and Vinh -- who was also injured in the melee -- were all rushed to Long Khanh General Hospital, where Son died at 7:40 p.m. Phu and Vinh were transferred to Dong Nai General Hospital for further treatment.
Doctors said Phu was shot once in his buttocks and once in the groin, while Son had been shot in the midsection and suffered an aortic rupture.
Vinh also had an injury on his head, which was possibly grazed by a bullet, and suffered other injuries on his body.
Before the incident, Vinh was drinking at a karaoke parlor in Long Khanh Town and knew that Son was in the adjacent room with a man named Truc, according to a parlor employee. When Vinh decided to join them, Vinh and Truc had argument and Vinh went back to the police station.
When Son arrived at the station, he and Vinh had argument and fight, a source told Thanh Nien.
The source said the fight occurred because Vinh was angry when Son took Truc's side of the initial argument and did not intervene when Truc attacked him physically, the source said.
The source indicated that Vinh may have fired on Son accidentally.
Before the arrest, the Dong Nai Police Department suspended Vinh from his post and stripped his military rank.
Police are investigating if the pistol Vinh used had been allocated to him or if it was another officer's gun.
Speaking to Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper Saturday, Lieutenant General Cao Minh Nhan, deputy head of the Anti-Crime Police Division at the Ministry of Public Security, said it is legal to equip traffic police forces with guns.
Under Vietnam's Penal Code, anyone convicted of "murder under provocation" can be sentenced to six months to three years in prison. If several people are killed in the case, the convict can face up to seven years.

Nearly every organism on earth depends, in one way or another, on the sun for energy.
The sun sits at the centre of our solar system and is heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy mainly as visible light, ultraviolet light, and infrared radiation. Although it is 1.3 million times bigger than our planet the fact that is 149.6 million miles away means we are in what is called the 'Goldilocks Zone' that is to say just in the righty place for water to be able to exist in all three forms of solid, liquid and gas simultaneously on our planet.
By the time the energy of the sun reaches us through the atmosphere its energy on the surface of our planet averages 1360 Watts per square meter, this average means that seasons, latitude, diurnal difference and cloud cover all averaged out to get this figure, this amount of power is known as the total solar irradiance. This is equivalent to 19 standard light bulbs of 60W per every square meter of the surface of the earth.
To the farmer, their greatest resource is this energy from the sun, it is free, constant and utterly essential.
Every farmed plant in agriculture that is used either for us to eat directly or as pasture or food for animals to eat, uses photosynthesis to grow and the process of photosynthesis uses sunlight and atmospheric carbon dioxide to create carbohydrates which as then name suggests are made up from long chains of carbon and hydrogen, sunlight helps plants create matter from gasses and water whilst the byproduct of this process is the oxygen we breathe freed from its bonds with hydrogen when combined in molecules of water.
This magical process is the basis of everything we eat and sunlight is the energy that fuels the transformation.
So sunlight indirectly gives us oxygen as well as removing carbon dioxide from the air, locking the carbon into plant material that is stored both above and below ground.
Plants lose water through a process called transpiration which involves the evaporation of water from the leaves of the plant. Transpiration is a part of the water cycle, but it also has benefits for the plant, such as assisting in photosynthesis, as this water evaporates it causes a cooling effect.
Evaporation causes cooling because the process requires heat energy which is provided by the sun, The energy is taken away by the molecules when they convert from liquid into gas, and this causes cooling on the original surface, in this case the plant.
This transpiration and evaporation is one of the reasons that heavily plant covered areas such as pasture and forest are notably cooler than uncovered areas such as bare earth or rock, the other reason for this difference in temperature is albedo.
Albedo is the measure of the diffuse reflection of solar radiation out of the total solar radiation and measured on a scale from 0, corresponding to a black body that absorbs all incident radiation, to 1, corresponding to a body that reflects all incident radiation.
In other words, it is a measure how much heating happens to a surface from a set amount of sunlight. As can be seen from the graph below this measurement also includes the reflection of sunlight from cloud cover, reducing the heating effect on the surface of the earth.
So from the information presented so far we can see that there is a complex interaction of heating and cooling processes that are determined by land use and cover.
The diagram above helps to explain why forested and pasture covered land is cooler than bare earth and retains moisture by both encouraging more rain to be recycled and remaining cooler overall while also removing CO2 and providing us with oxygen.
The worlds hot deserts are areas of bare earth or rock that are heated by the sun, the heat is radiated back creating areas of high pressure meaning no rain clouds form and this creates a positive feedback loop of further heating.
When we create large areas of bare earth through farming we are creating this effect, we are creating deserts, at least for a pert of the year before crops are replanted, this system is not using the sunlight hitting it remove carbon from the air and give us oxygen, no water is being evaporated through transpiration and nothing is living.
Forest and pasture
Permeant pasture is never ploughed meaning that year round the land is using the energy from the sun to convert CO2 from the atmosphere to plant based carbon which is eaten by grazing animals who up cycle this carbon into highly nutritious food for us to eat, much less precious sunlight is wasted simply heating the air.
In conversation with our producers one thing becomes apparent, they understand this. They view sunlight as a precious resource, a resource that should not be wasted by hitting bare earth and missing the opportunity to remove carbon from the atmosphere and sequester it into the soil.

Letter to the editor: Learn about conservatism from Fox
Kick-off time is fast approaching, and you should have butterflies in your stomach. It’s the game of your lifetime, with the common-sense, conservative team up against the rowdy, subversive, progressive liberal team. Should the liberal team win the elections, America doesn’t stand a snowball’s chance in Hades of becoming great again.
For you spectators unsure of who to root for, I implore you to do yourself and America the favor of setting aside just one night to watch Lou Dobbs on Fox Business and Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham on Fox News. Educate and entertain yourselves with the flip side of “fake news” -- a three-hour, fair political portrayal that should bring even the most hard-core liberal to the threshold of being able to understand and appreciate conservatism. And that’s all I am going to say about that, for now.

Last years first annual Dance Parade was a nice reminder of the spunk we still have in this town. Created to unify the dance community, celebrate its diversity, and basically have a damn good time, it showed the world that even with all the citys sanitization, we still know how to work it. Thousands of breakers, hoofers, Irish steppers, and everyone in between put on their dopest gear to swing, tap, and shimmy their way down Broadway. It was the party of the season, and this year will be no different: The dancers and organizations are signed up, the floats are prepped, and the costumes are ready. The best part is, anyone can join in, whether you register to dance or watch from the sidelines. And even if you dont make it to the parade, theres always the after-party, a free, four-hour festival in Tompkins Square Park with slick beats (compliments of DJ Jonathan Peters), performances, and dance lessons. Just follow the dancers!

Former Paris Saint-Germain star Nene could be set for a lengthy ban after sparking a mass brawl following his sending off in a Qatar Stars Cup match last night.
Brazilian winger Nene, who only left PSG to join Al-Gharafa a few months ago, had been dismissed for a second booking late in a match against Al-Arabi when his attempts to argue with the referee were halted by opponent Houssine Kharja.
Morocco midfielder Kharja can be seen gently shoving Nene with his shoulders, before the ex-PSG and Monaco man loses his head completely, punching his adversary in the side of the head.
All hell breaks loose, with players from both sides throwing punches and Kharja – in a delayed reaction after initially appearing shocked by the punch – flying into a karate kick into Nene.
While playing in France, Nene had been in trouble on a couple of occasions for his behaviour, although he was more prone to sulks and verbal outbursts than anything of a violent nature.
Al-Arabi won the match 2-1 but don’t expect things to end there – both clubs are expected to be in serious trouble, while Nene and Kharja will be in line for very severe bans.
And so they should: the incident is spookily similar to Joey Barton's reaction to being sent off on the last day of the season against Manchester City last year, in which the then-QPR player started lashing out at everyone after being given his marching orders.
That incident led to Barton being banned for 11 matches - and led directly to him being loaned out to Marseille.

But the race is expected to boil down to two candidates – Jovenel Moise, a business owner, and Jude Celestin, an engineer and the former chief at a government construction agency.
The vote, to succeed President Michel Martelly next February, comes amid security concerns as well as a shrinking United Nations peacekeeping force -fuelling fears that the violence that disrupted the leglislative elections in August could break out once again.

You may need to stop the conversation and try again later if they become aggressive. Problem drinking affects decision-making, and research connects drinking to increased rates of infidelity. While drinking is not the sole reason for cheating, alcohol use can contribute to impulse control problems and compromised judgment, making cheating more likely. If alcohol is the go-to solution when your partner is feeling stressed, you may have a subtle case of alcoholism on your hands. Women generally have lower rates of alcoholism than men, but alcoholism takes a greater toll on women, and husbands with alcoholic wives face similar challenges as their female counterparts.
- Thinking of how to get an alcoholic to stop drinking can be difficult and frightening.
- There are groups, like Al-Anon, that offer support to people who are struggling or suffering because of a family member’s alcoholism or addiction.
- When your spouse or partner is misusing alcohol, it’s important to see support from others, rather than going it along.
- Having a partner with AUD can take a toll on your well-being, which makes it essential to take care of your personal needs — physical and emotional.
- Perhaps your partner has always loved a particular sport, but their drinking has interfered with their ability to engage in it.
- Some people can have alcohol use disorder and experience very few if any of these things.
As shown in Table 3, the mean percent scores were highest in emotional and social domain while lowest in the financial domain. The present descriptive study aimed to investigate the problems faced and coping strategies used by the wives of alcoholics. There are many options available to help people who care about alcoholics. how to live with an alcoholic Groups like Al-Anon offer peer support and access to other resources. Find at least one option that feels comfortable for you and gives you someone to turn to when you are struggling with your situation. Being in a relationship with a person who has an alcohol addiction can take a significant toll on your mental health.
When to Walk Away from an Alcoholic Loved One
If your loved one is truly dependent on alcohol, they are going to drink no matter what you do or say. When thinking about leaving an alcoholic boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse, a person may decide to give things one last chance and try to get help for an alcoholic. You cannot expect yourself to provide professional treatment, and you have not failed your partner if you are unable to cure them.
Working with a therapist who understands alcoholism and the toll it takes on families and who knows how to help those who are codependent is very helpful to people living with alcoholics. This could include seeing a therapist, putting physical distance between you and your loved one, or having a trusted friend to call when things get tough. Consider trying to see things from your loved one’s point of view, even if it doesn’t make sense to you. Your partner will be more likely to listen if they feel like you’re approaching them with genuine concern and love, not criticism.
Identifying the Warning Signs of an Alcoholic Husband
Having a partner with AUD can take a toll on your well-being, which makes it essential to take care of your personal needs — physical and emotional. “Blaming yourself for your partner’s drinking will cause undue feelings of guilt and shame,” explains Dalton. Knowing your partner’s triggers can make it easier for you to support them when they try to avoid specific factors that might prompt a drinking episode. For most people, a combination of treatment options offers the best chance at recovery. Ultimately, someone with alcohol use disorder must accept help if they want to recover. However, there are several things you can do to provide support and encouragement.
” However, there are ways to help your spouse while also helping yourself so you both can be healthy and happy. Living with an alcoholic spouse might be one of the biggest challenges you’ve ever undertaken. However, if you follow these tips, you’ll find that you may be able to cope better. However, until the individual makes the decision to deal with their drinking, the disease of AUD remains unabated. Alcohol can affect a person’s judgment making an addict’s behavior unpredictable. Talk to a doctor to find a treatment program that caters to your own needs.
Signs & Symptoms of an Alcoholic
A therapist or counselor will be able to help him overcome his addiction and lead a more fulfilling life. Things start with a small incident and can lead to bigger uncontrollable incidences that will only bring shame to you and your family. So, the advice here is to keep away from the situation and let things happen. And when they do, take them to the professional instead of trying to make things right on your own. In order to do you, you might push your husband to loneliness, which eventually will lead to far more serious issues than now. So, instead of trying to take control of everything, just wait for them to accept that they have a problem and need help.
- You just happen to love someone who is probably going to need professional treatment to get healthy again.
- Every day might be different, depending on how controlled their drinking is or how alcohol or withdrawal is making them feel.
- A high-functioning alcoholic often does such a good job of hiding their issues that other people don’t know the issues exist.
- Health experts lead them, and studies support that they are beneficial.
- Before you realize it, you can find yourself in a full-blown abusive relationship.
- When you communicate with your husband, there are some things you should avoid.
You can also ask them any questions you may have and share your experiences with them. This can help you deal with issues and challenges more easily and effectively. The one thing that you would do at this point is go into denial mode. In the worst case, you would also want to avoid the situation as much as you can.
Talking with Your Partner About Their Alcohol Use: 8 Tips
Boyfriends, girlfriends or partners of functional alcoholics may also experience emotional or relationship problems. An alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic medical condition characterized by an inability to stop or control drinking despite health, social, or professional consequences. The impact of an AUD isn’t always limited https://ecosoberhouse.com/ to the one suffering from this chronic medical condition. AUDs may affect not only the person with the drinking problem themselves, but also their family, their loved ones, and others around them. Sometimes husbands and wives of high-functioning alcoholics are the only ones who know their spouse has alcohol problems.
Avoid having a discussion while you or your partner is under the influence. This will impede your ability to communicate effectively and can result in frustration instead of understanding. If your husband or wife is hungover, remorseful, etc., it might be a good time to talk about the negative consequences of their drinking. An intervention is a process that involves a physician, an addiction counselor, or an intervention specialist meeting with loved ones. During the intervention, encourage your spouse to seek treatment by confronting him about his alcohol addiction and how it affects you.

The pandemic turned education on its head, and the Alexandria Tutoring Consortium just launched a new fundraiser to expand its virtual one-on-one offerings to kindergarteners and first graders.
“This has been a trying time as the lack of in-school classes has put more rising first graders farther behind than ever,” said ATC Board Chair Frank Stiff. “Despite the challenges, tutors and staff have stayed true to our mission, and the students have benefitted.”
The nonprofit recruits and trains volunteers to tutor kids needing help reading, and in the 2020-2021 school year, all of their tutoring was conducted virtually. In fact, there were more than 7,600 “Book Buddies” tutoring sessions.
“Tutoring occurred entirely virtually this year, with final results showing that 87% of 155 participating students were reading on grade level, poised for success in second grade,” ATC reported. “Of the 155, ATC tutored 122 in its second-ever summer tutoring program, keeping all kids on track and making it possible for 34 of them to move from below to on level reading proficiency.”

Director: Jon S. Bird, BBC Film & Entertainment One, PG 98 Minutes.
One of the world’s most famous comedy duos is brilliantly brought to life by director Jon Bird (‘Filth’) in his thoroughly enjoyable biopic of the legendary comedians Laurel and Hardy, having made their mark during Hollywood’s golden era.
The movie opens in 1937 with Stan (Steve Coogan – ‘Philomena’) and Ollie (John C. Reilly – ‘Chicago’) on the set of their final film disagreeing with director Hal Roach (Danny Huston – ‘Frankenstein’) before switching to 1953 where both are approaching their twilight years.
In order to revive their past film careers the popular comedians embark on a planned theatre tour throughout England and Ireland realising that Ollie’s failing health could possibly result in this being the final time they perform together.
After crisscrossing the country they are disappointed to see dwindling audiences but still receive significant applause from adoring fans for their comedic double-act routines, especially from their supportive wives, Ida Laurel (Nina Arianda – ‘Never Here’) and Lucille Hardy (Shirley Henderson – ‘Trainspotting’).
As the tour reaches its conclusion, and despite a few personal differences, it is the enduring friendship between the comic legends that is paramount, consistently displayed in the humour and warmth enjoyed by both in their long-lasting partnership.
Bird’s direction is impeccable,. Indeed his movie is a terrific tribute to two of Britain’s most iconic comedians who made people laugh throughout the world during the dark days of the Depression and the Second World War.
What makes ‘Stan and Ollie’ such an entertaining experience and so memorable are the perfectly pitched portrayals by Coogan (as Stan) and Reilly (as Ollie), particularly their remarkable resemblances to the real characters themselves, especially in Reilly’s case.
Apart from their stand-out performances there is also the heartwarming story of a celebrated comedic duo in their advancing years that makes seeing this movie a must,only to be later matched by the likes of Abbott and Costello.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Many Thanks to Net Galley, Greenleaf Book Group and the author for a chance to read and review this book. All opinions are expressed voluntarily.
Very recently a popular actor in Indian cinema passed away and a case of suspected suicide was registered. The uproar that erupted is still creating a media storm. There are some claiming friendship milking the tragedy for what it’s worth, there are some for no fault of theirs paying a hefty price as fans have gone berserk, then there are the politicians making hay amidst the mayhem, then there are the genuine fans who are left bereft losing a talented actor who feel that as each day a new allegation arises, he’s being killed again and again. Well, in this age of painstaking scrutiny, no peace for the dead too. But the fact that emerges out of this pandemonium is very simple, it is the need to understand why the suicide happened and if at all, if it really was one?
This is what reverberated in my mind as I read this touching and emotional story about a teenager who loses her soulmate brother to death. The chapters that captures the misery of the family was devastating that I did take a break from reading and shed a few tears.
Bean is the youngest of four siblings, but it is Sam that she’s closest to in more ways than one. The love that binds them together is beyond words that can ever be described. His loss is therefore insurmountable but when her mother collapses completely and refuses to emerge out of the fog and care for her other children, Bean takes over the task as caretaker and glues the family together.
The journey she undertakes with her best friend Julie to understand Sam was necessary for her survival and I loved how the author has shown the deep friendship between the 2 girls caring for each other and sharing the pain and heartache.
Every part of the story in dealing with the sorrow and the spiritual journey that Bean and her mother believes in were wonderfully done. The author serves as an advocate for wolves and she has clearly used her experience in blending a mystery with the natural elements using the forests and Innuit beliefs beautifully for this tragic tale of loss and overcoming grief.
For all readers who have had to endure grief, this book is definitely gonna melt your hearts! Brilliant.
This review is published in my blog https://rainnbooks.com/; Amazon India, Goodreads, and Twitter.
A tragic mystery blending sleuthing and spirituality
An exploration in grief, suicide, spiritualism, and Inuit culture, Winter of the Wolf follows Bean, an empathic and spiritually evolved fifteen-year-old, who is determined to unravel the mystery of her brother Sam’s death. Though all evidence points to a suicide, her heart and intuition compel her to dig deeper. With help from her friend Julie, they retrace Sam’s steps, delve into his Inuit beliefs, and reconnect with their spiritual beliefs to uncover clues beyond material understanding.
Both tragic and heartwarming, this twisting novel draws you into Bean’s world as she struggles with grief, navigates high school dramas, and learns to open her heart in order to see the true nature of the people around her. Winter of the Wolf is about seeking the truth—no matter how painful—in order to see the full picture.
In this novel, environmentalist and award-winning author, Martha Handler, brings together two important pieces of her life—the death of her best friend’s son and her work as president of the Wolf Conservation Center—to tell an empathetic and powerful story with undeniable messages.

PITTSBURGH — A Port Authority-owned and maintained bridge that carries the South Busway over Saw Mill Run Boulevard in Pittsburgh’s Mt. Washington neighborhood will remain closed indefinitely. Engineers on Friday discovered that a portion of the bridge had shifted.
The Saw Mill Run Boulevard Bridge -- sometimes known as the Palm Garden Bridge -- a 1,052-foot span constructed in 1977 that is used only by Port Authority buses and light rail vehicles, is stable but will remain closed until repairs can be made. Following the bridge’s last inspection in October 2020, it was rated Satisfactory (6).
The Port Authority, in coordination with third-party contractors, is developing a timetable for repairs. The cause of the shift has not been determined.
At about 9 a.m. on Friday, a Port Authority employee noticed that a joint on the deck of the bridge appeared to have expanded.
The Port Authority suspended bus and rail traffic immediately and dispatched engineers and a bridge consultant to begin examining and surveying the joint for signs of distress and movement.
Engineers determined that the bridge is stable, but that it must be repaired before it is used. Therefore, the Port Authority and contractors will soon begin to mobilize to make the necessary repairs.
The work will consist of removing a portion of the concrete bridge deck to access the bridge’s superstructure, removing the existing anchor bolts and resetting the position of the bridge, repairing and/or replacing the rail joint, and replacing the portion of the concrete deck that they remove.
Because of the nature of the work, Port Authority crews will also need to make sure the overhead power lines are removed before construction begins and replaced once construction is completed.
Red Line rail cars will detour via the Blue/Silver Line from Overbrook Junction to downtown. A rail shuttle will operate between Overbrook Junction to Potomac Station. Bus shuttles will operate between Potomac Station and Station Square.

Hong Kong Wild Boar Project: conflict and coexistence between wild boar and humans in urban landscapes
We have been working on this project since 2019 and it is ongoing. We have now conducted three rounds of surveys as well as data collection on environmental impacts of boars and diet of boars.
In February 2018 in Hong Kong, a large male boar stood up on his back legs, rested his front ones on the rim of a dumpster and fed from a black rubbish bag as some piglets stood by. An ordinary scene, perhaps, but having been videoed and shared to a local news site, he acquired the nickname “Pigzilla”. Then that one boar become a viral internet sensation. The video dispersed across the world, with watches and shares blooming on social media and news sites from London to Boston, faster than the puns in the headlines and adjectives to describe his size could be exhausted. The initial shock was followed by concerned discussions about why a large male would be so close to younger animals, about potential food shortages or lack of space for boar. What had brought the pig to the city?
“Pigzilla” eats from a bin, February 2018, Daily Mirror
Wild boar have been photographed near the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and reported to be radioactive and occupy towns abandoned following the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. In urban landscapes from the seemingly thriving to the seemingly post-apocalyptic, wild boar are there. It poses the question, in an increasingly urban world, is there space for a human-wild boar interaction? Or will the wild boar become just an ancestor of its domesticated variant?
This project aims to investigate the spatio-temporal pattern incidents of human-wild boar interaction using reports in the media, interviews and other methodologies and techniques from anthropology and ecology to analyse human and wild boar space use, and human perspectives on their urban coinhabitants in Hong Kong. Rather than implementing the arbitrary division between humans and other animals, this study aims to analyse them both as part of andynamic and complex urban environment. A “One Health” approach is common in medical studies, and this study aims to take this further to a “One Integrated Urban Ecology”.
I am open to Post-doctoral researchers and Graduate students who'd like to join our team on this exciting project! Please get in touch.

Nepean High School’s theatre course is closing in on its opening night for Little Shop of Horrors, a musical written by Charles B Griffith.
Featuring students from the program alongside an 11-foot-tall plant built for the show, the actors say this production is going to stand out.
Little Shop of Horrors is a comedy about a flower shop assistant named Seymour, played by Saul Felman, who discovers an unusual plant, played by Samuel Lafortune, that only feeds on human blood. The plant attracts a great deal of business for the struggling store, but its thirst for blood only increases as time goes on.
“I think that the humour of the show is going to be really great and the audience is going to laugh a lot,” said Maddy Seatter, who’s playing Chiffon, one of the shows three main narrators.
“I like how it tells a story about sincere characters without taking yourself too seriously,” Felman added
The show has been in production since November 2022, and every aspect of the show from sets to costumes and lighting is done by the students.
“I love that we do all of our production and costumes and sets and props in house. And so I want everyone to keep a look out for what we’re wearing, what we’re using, the rooms that we’re in, because they do take a lot of work” said Maria Delaney, who plays Audrey, the shows main female lead.
This show is aimed at an audience which enjoys a big spectacle with catchy music, a lot of humour and with Motown or soul energy.
The cast has a sense of community and encouragement, with everyone agreeing that the best part of being part of the show is the friends and connections they’ve made.
“I think it’s a great opportunity to spend time with people who are like-minded, people like you who all like theatre and performing” said Grady McVey, who plays Mr. Mushnik.
For a lot of these students it’s their last performance before graduation. With the loss of high school years to COVID lockdowns, they are itching to get on stage and perform again.
“This has been the big Holy Grail,” said Delaney. “You know, after COVID, we can do a musical and we’re able to sneak on in. A lot of us are graduating high school this year so this was really our last chance to be able to have a big production like this.”
The opening night is April 26, with performances following on the 27, 28 and 29. Tickets are available on the Nepean High School website and at the door for $20. Children under 12 are free.

The words and music we sing proclaim the salvation story and the love of our God.
We at St. Peter’s are very fortunate to have a lovely Zimmer pipe organ in our church to enhance our sung praises to God. Our adult choir leads the congregation in song during the 10:30 Eucharist each Sunday. We rehearse on Wednesday evenings to learn a variety of anthems and Psalms.
While it is very helpful to be able to read music, if you have a love of music and a desire to worship through song, we invite you to join us.

Cyber Security is a hot topic in the world of business, costing the UK economy billions every year. Recent high profile coverage of the Talk Talk attack has highlighted the devastating impact such an attack can have, yet only 61% of companies have attempted to calculate the financial and day-to-day operational impact a cyber-attack could have on their own business.

EPL: Ozil to sign new Arsenal deal
Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil is close to signing a new contract with the Gunners, according to British media reports on Friday.
The German World Cup winner’s current deal runs out at the end of the 2017/18 season, but Arsenal are confident of wrapping up negotiations in the next couple of weeks.
According to reports, the terms for the 28-year-old’s proposed new deal are around £280,000 ($363,000, 313,000 euros) a week, which would make him the club’s top earner, although it’s believed that Ozil was originally holding out for closer to £350,000.
Ozil and Chile international forward Alexis Sanchez have both been linked with moves away from Emirates Stadium this summer, with Sanchez attracting interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Ozil signed for the north Londoners in a £42.5 million ($55.3 million, 47.5 million euros) deal from Real Madrid in 2013.Punch

Food and drink giant Nestlé is investing $120 million (€120.8m) in the Russian coffee industry. The firm is planning to build a full-cycle factory in the Krasnodar region to produce its Nescafe brand coffee.
The Swiss food giant already operates a coffee repackaging plant and ice cream factory in the region. Construction of the new plant, which will be wholly owned by Nestle subsidiary Nestle Kuban, will take between 12 and 18 months, according to the Moscow Times.
This is Nestlé's first green field project in the country and the single biggest investment the company has made in the former Soviet Union.
Nestlé is confident that the Russian coffee market is buoyant enough for such a development. The firm believes that the ratio of tea drinkers to coffee drinkers, which was five to one in 1999, will be roughly two to one by 2005.
However, Russian coffee consumption remains modest by European standards. On average 160 cups of coffee are drunk per person each year, a figure that pales in comparison to the Scandinavian average of more than 1,000 cups per person per year.
In Russia, Nestlé Foods already owns controlling stakes in nine production facilities and is the top seller of coffee, chocolate, baby food and ice cream. The company has 27 coffee factories worldwide.
"We are pleased that after a comprehensive search, the world's number one food and beverage manufacturer has chosen our region to build its newest state-of-the-art coffee manufacturing facility," said Krasnodar region governor Alexander Tkachev in a statement.
"This not only means more jobs for our people, but it is also a resounding vote of confidence in the investment potential of Krasnodar, as well as Russia."

School Project Financed by Improvement Authority Dedicated
Published on April 17, 2007
Two new science wings have been dedicated at Morris Knolls High School in Denville and Morris Hills High School in Rockaway.
The two-story additions to both schools were part of a $56 million school construction project that was approved by school district voters in 2003.
The bonds that funded the project were financed by the Morris County Improvement Authority.
The Improvement Authority in 2005 was able to obtain an interest rate of 3.9 percent for the bonds, as opposed to the 4.5 percent rate the school district had estimated, thus saving the district $2.7 million over the life of the loan.
Since the MCIA was established in 2002 by the Morris County Freeholders, it has realized millions of dollars in tax savings for the entities that have used the authority to finance critical projects.

During the last decades, a plethora of nanoparticles have been developed and evaluated and a real hype has been created around their potential application as diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Despite their suggestion as potential diagnostic agents, only a single diagnostic nanoparticle formulation, namely iron oxide nanoparticles, has found its way into clinical routine so far. This fact is primarily due to difficulties in achieving appropriate pharmacokinetic properties and a reproducible synthesis of monodispersed nanoparticles. Furthermore, concerns exist about their biodegradation, elimination and toxicity. The majority of nanoparticle formulations that are currently routinely used in the clinic are used for therapeutic purposes. These therapeutic nanoparticles aim to more efficiently deliver a (chemo-) therapeutic drug to the pathological site, while avoiding its accumulation in healthy organs and tissues, and are predominantly based on the “enhanced permeability and retention” (EPR) effect. Furthermore, based on their ability to integrate diagnostic and therapeutic entities within a single nanoparticle formulation, nanoparticles hold great promise for theranostic purposes and are considered to be highly useful for personalizing nanomedicine-based treatments. In this review article, we present applications of diagnostic and therapeutic nanoparticles, summarize frequently used non-invasive imaging techniques and describe the role of EPR in the accumulation of nanotheranostic formulations. In this context, the clinical potential of nanotheranostics and image-guided drug delivery for individualized and improved (chemo-) therapeutic interventions is addressed.

Well my favourite show, The West Wing, came to an end tonight after 7 seasons. The last episode, ‘Tomorrow’, centered around Inauguration Day with President Santos and his staff moving in and President Bartlet and his staff moving out. I didn’t like it too much to be honest. I was hoping for a two hour series finale but it might have been overkill. I was also looking forward to the 1 hour retrospective the network promised a few months ago when the cancellation was announced but instead they just aired the pilot episode. I would’ve thought they would’ve have done a retrospective at least for John Spencer’s sake, who died a few months ago.
Toby doesn’t make an appearance but he gets a predictable Presidential pardon at the last minute. The episode didn’t even play on the heart strings of it’s fans except for one scene where Bartlet hands Charlie his copy of the Constitution.
The episode ended with Barlet on Air Force One unwrapping a gift from Leo’s daughter. Of course it was the framed paper napkin with words “Bartlet for America” written on them, the same one that essentially started it all. So that was a pleasant way of ending it. It was all a bit idealistic but then again the whole show was always between idealistic and realistic.
Aaron Sorkin who created the show is coming back to NBC with “Studio 60 on Sunset Strip” which is supposed to be a one hour drama about the behind the scenes of a sketch comedy show like Saturday Night Live. It will star Bradley Whitford who played Josh Lyman on the West Wing and Mathew Perry (who was also on the West Wing for a few episodes). I think it will have that “West Wing” feel to it but of course there’s no politics, which will suck.
So no more dramatic politics on TV. Except for Commander in Chief which I’ve tried watching a few times but with no hope. The characters are forgettable and that may be the reason they always have the character’s name and title at the bottom of the screen in every other scene.
I donÃ¢??t know why I wrote this whole post but I guess this is just one of those times when IÃ¢??d be remiss if I didnÃ¢??t.
Well goodbye West Wing.

We drove into one of the outlets in Sapporo for breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised by the free flow of drinks we could find at the Drinks Bar. Also we ordered a kids breakfast meal and it came with a basket of 8 types of toys for the the child to pick from (of course you are only entitled to 1). It is a Japanese style western food place and to price was very reasonable for what they have to offer. We had 2 full American breakfasts and 1 kids meal consisting of rice, fries, fried ebi, curry sausage and veg; all for less than USD30. Restaurant has a website. Do look if you have no idea where to go.

Mumbai: Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty has made the country proud by becoming the first Asian to win the award for best sound for documentary “India’s Daughter” at the coveted Motion Picture Sound Editors’ 63rd annual Golden Reel Awards.
Pookutty, 44, who attended the awards ceremony here, took to Twitter to share his excitement about winning the honour for British documentary maker Leslee Udwin-directed “India’s Daughter”, made on the Delhi gangrape incident of December 2012, which is banned in India.
“I am honoured with the Golden Reel Award for ‘India’s Daughter’. This is an incredible recognition for me as well as for all those worked in the banned film apart from all those who protested against the brutal killing of Nirbhaya,” Pookutty told PTI from Los Angeles this afternoon.
The Oscar-winning sound engineer saidhe is the first Asian to win the coveted award at the 63rd Golden Reel Award from the Motion Picture Sound Editors’ (MPSE) of US for best sound. The government had banned the film from public screening/ airing in the country.
Dedicating the award to the 23-year-old paramedic student who was brutally gangraped on December, 16 2012 following which she died, Pookutty said the film “India’s Daughter” is the true spirit of the youth of the nation. He said the film recognises the entire spirit of the youth who protested against the inhuman treatment being meted out to girls and women.
“I dedicate this award to Nirbhaya’s soul… And her indomitable spirit,” Pookutty said.
The competing films/ television documentaries in the list included “Beware Baltimore”, “Chef’s Table”, “Deadliest Catch”, and “The Undrafted” “Mad Max: Fury Road”, “The Martian”, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “The Revenant” among others.
Pookutty said a double nomination was rarity in the industry and the beauty is that both these are Indian works.
Late last month, in a rare achievement, Pookutty had won two nominations for two films, both banned in the country, from the prestigious American Motion Picture Sound Editors’ (MPSE) Golden Reel Awards.

Repressed Homosexuality can lead to abuse when a gay man targets and marries a straight woman. The gay husband suffers from shame, denial, and repression of his true sexual identity. Most gay men who marry will never admit they are gay. Repression can lead to impotence with women. You may find yourself in therapy, marriage counseling, and your husband is having his testosterone levels checked. It is common for closeted gay husbands to suffer from guilt and self loathing, as his same-sex attractions continue. They are angry and resentful. You will never be able to do anything right in their eyes. You are confused. You tried to help as they suffer from depression,alcoholism, or both. The doctor changes or adjusts their antidepressants. Nothing works. They may have legal problems due to alcohol and drugs, this leads to more depression. The wife will also start to suffer from depression. Her psychiatrist will prescribe antidepressants and maybe some tranquilizers. Her confusion continues as she tries to make sense of this marriage. The women who marry these men are the most giving, and forgiving women. They have the biggest hearts.
These men who hate themselves, have nothing to offer in this fraudulent marriage. The wife becomes the target of all of his anger. My gay ex told me I was the closest one to him. He told me this is why I was on the receiving end of his anger, Lucky me! He lacks empathy, because he is so full of his own pain. He simply does not have room to care for you. He will intentionally cause you pain, he also seems to take some pleasure in this. This is because he resents you. His fear and shame prevent him from living an authentic life. He feels pressure to appear straight, what he feels the norms of society expects, this is why he marries. There is more to this, something in his core is disgusted by what he is. He is not comfortable in his own skin. He grows to resent the marriage. He wants to be free after many years of denying his true self. These men move on so easily after the marriage ends. They may have feelings for you like a friend or family member, but they were never in love with you. They feel relief when the marriage ends. The wife did not know her husband is gay, she was in love with her husband. She wanted her marriage to work. She is devastated.
The wife of a closeted gay husband goes through so much to put her life back together after the marriage ends. Many of these women suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. She blames herself for not knowing, and for the abuse she put up with. She thinks something is wrong with her. She has been stripped to the core by a gay man who never loved her. She feels used. She cannot trust her own judgment, or anyone for that matter. Her emotions and sexual feelings shut down, and she wonders if they will ever return. Sadly these men have told their wives, they are crazy. They have been gas-lighting their wives for years, in an attempt to throw her off the trail of truth. Many women find out by accident. They find gay porn on the computer, or receive a strange phone call, or text message. The gay husband will blame the wife, or the children. If he is caught red-handed, he will only admit to what you know. He will say he never acted on his same-sex attraction. He was just curious. These gay/straight marriages become sexless. The closeted gay husband has been actively seeking sex with men throughout the marriage. As he ages it becomes harder and harder for him to deny his same-sex attraction. The gay husband wants, needs, and craves a man. He needs this connection that you his wife cannot give him. While the wife shuts down sexually, the gay husband never denied himself sex with men. Some gay husbands may admit to being gay, or bisexual after being caught, only to take it back later, or deny ever saying this in the first place. It can take many years for the closeted gay husband to come to terms with his sexuality. Some never do. They use the fact they are married to a woman, or have children to tell themselves they cannot be gay.

This is the original sketch for a piece of lettering i did about a month ago. I’ve always tended to draw small, most especially in the initial stages of a new composition.
