The acquisition was first announced in August.
Costa, which has operations in more than 30 countries, gives Coca-Cola a significant footprint in the global coffee business, the company says, noting that Costa has a scalable platform across multiple formats and channels, from the existing Costa Express vending system to opportunities to introduce ready-to-drink products. Costa also provides Coca-Cola with strong expertise across the coffee supply chain, including sourcing, vending and distribution, the company adds.
“We see great opportunities for value creation through the combination of Costa’s capabilities and Coca-Cola’s marketing expertise and global reach,” said James Quincey, Coca-Cola CEO. “Our vision is to use the strong Costa platform to expand our portfolio in the growing coffee category.”
“We wish our friends and colleagues at Costa all the very best for their future success,” said Alison Brittain, Whitbread chief executive. “Whitbread acquired Costa 23 years ago, when it had only 39 shops. Costa has grown to become a leading, international coffee brand, and Coca-Cola is the right partner to take Costa to the next stage of expansion.”

As the world continues to learn more about coronavirus and its spread, it's vital to stay up-to-date on the latest developments. However, it's also important to make sure that the information being distributed is from credible sources. To that end, Between The Lines has compiled, [...]
LANSING – The Lansing City Council voted 7 to 0, with Councilmember Kathie Dunbar absent, to adopt a resolution condemning anti-gay violence and laws in Russia, and calling for an end to the Lansing Regional Sister Cities Commission relationship with St. Petersburg.
“The Lansing City Council strongly condemns the widespread abuses of human rights being perpetrated in St. Petersburg,” the resolution reads. “The Lansing City Council urges the Lansing Regional Sister Cities Commission to sever all remaining ties, including references on its website and signage, with St. Petersburg.”
Whether or not the city continues to have a relationship with St. Petersburg has been a matter of much confusion since First Ward Council member Jody Washington brought the issue forward in July. While the city continues to be listed on the city website for the Commission, as well as on signs welcoming visitors to the capitol, officials from the city have called the relationship “dormant,” then two weeks ago announced the relationship was severed “some years ago.”
But in an email to Washington, shared with Between the Lines, Barbara Roberts Mason, the chair of the Commission, wrote, “At our January meeting in 2010 the LRSCC reviewed our status with St Petersburg, since the dissolution of the Kubyashi District. We did not vote to end/ sever the relationship, because no relationship existed and there was no one in Russia to contact. Subsequently, the Lansing/St Petersburg relationship was removed from the Sister Cities International Membership Directory and the city hall list on the window on the 9th floor. It is to be removed from the signs at the entrances to the city, when the city updates those signs.”
In other words, the relationship was never formally severed, it was merely ended by benign neglect. Mason makes no mention of the website, however, the group’s Facebook page indicated the website was out of date and needed to be updated.
Longtime LGBT ally Mayor Virg Bernero has opposed severing ties since the controversy erupted in July, but on Monday night found the final paragraph of the resolution something to oppose.
“The Lansing City Council requests the City of Lansing Human Relations and Community Service Department and/or Advisory Board prepare an annual report summarizing current human rights issues and challenges in each of Lansing’s sister cities and submit the report to the Lansing City Council by the beginning of each calendar year,” the resolution concludes.
Bernero tells the City Pulse, a weekly alternative newspaper in Lansing, that won’t fly.
“It’s certainly idiotic,” Bernero told the newspaper after saying he was studying whether he could “simply” ignore the resolution or would have to veto it.
The passage comes as top Russian leaders have announced that the national ban on propaganda will be enforced during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia in February.

In the midst of the giving season, let’s talk about a movement that started in 2012 and has changed the way we give and hopefully, the way we think of these days following Thanksgiving. We’re talking about the #GivingTuesday movement. 6 years ago two organizations, the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation joined together to create a day of giving. The movement spread rapidly and was readily embraced by many companies such as Google, Microsoft, Skype and more. The “#” was added and the movement expanded even more! It’s easy to engage and support your favorite cause and watch the movement spread like wildfire through #GivingTuesday. Join Perthes.org and #PerthesGives to show your support for someone you love!
Today many companies are offering a match to donations received on Giving Tuesday. Facebook is partnering with , to match a total of up to $7 million in donations made on Facebook to eligible US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
But there are ways to give that don’t involve a dollar. Perthes.org is looking for volunteers for upcoming initiatives. If you are passionate about spreading the word about Perthes and rare diseases, changing healthcare policy, and advocating for advancing research contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org today!

Most contemporary kitchens adhere to a strict system of work distribution between chefs of different skills, levels, and expertise, all to ensure smooth sailing management of the kitchen. Thus, while there are chefs who maintain a superior and authoritative power over the rest of the squad of chefs, every chef title still upholds great importance in the kitchen area.
Here is a list of basic kitchen hierarchy:
1. Chef de Cuisine (Executive Chef)
Being the chief overseer of kitchen activities, the Executive chef holds the most dignified job among all the other categories of chefs there is.
Having a position that is analogous to a CEO standard, the executive chef is in charge of ensuring proper management within the kitchen, supervising the activities of different groups of chefs, contacting suppliers, and making the decisions over the menus.
Because of their highly specialized work, reaching the position of a Chef de Cuisine may take years of dedicated work and training in a culinary school, in conjugation with more than decades of experience.
2. Sous Chef
Derived from a French term, the sous chef ideally means a second chef. This identifies the position of a sous chef to be the one coming second in line with the chef de cuisine, whereby their position is significantly higher than other lines of command.
The work of a sous chef is to be more engaged in the normal operation of kitchen activities, something that the Chef de Cuisine is exempted from due to having more demanding tasks.
Furthermore, sous chefs can also be a temporary fill-in for when executive chefs are unable to come to work, which reinforces how truly important their positions are to the managerial force of a professionally maintained kitchen.
3. Chef de Partie (Line Chef or Line Cook)
Line chefs are actually the frontrunners in the main part of the cooking. A professional kitchen would harbor a number of line chefs, who each work in their designated areas of expertise.
Each of the Chef de Partie takes responsibility for one specific role in the kitchen and works specifically to optimize the production of their assigned section of work.
This position can have a certain and specific direction. As an example:
- Butcher chef, who controls the preparation of poultry and other non-vegetarian products;
- A fish chef, whose responsibility lies in the skillful butchering of fishes and preparing sauces for marinating;
- Fry chef, who specializes in making the fried portions of dishes; pantry chef, the one managing the cold dishes that would be served;
- Vegetable chef, who is in charge of preparing items that include vegetables, starches and eggs, and many more.
4. Commis Chef
Acting more in the role of an apprentice, the commis chef has an entry-level position where they are given variable tasks under a line chef. They aren’t as specialized as the Chef de Parties are, being cooks who have just been employed and lack the experience and skill of being assigned a specific section of the kitchen to work with.
This signifies that commis chefs are ideally the ones helping out the more advanced cooks by doing tasks such as cutting vegetables or plating up different dishes. Their work requires incredible rapidity in movement and task management as the kitchen can get a bit hectic at times.
5. Kitchen Assistant
The kitchen assistant typically does not have any culinary background and therefore isn’t employed to work in the specialized departments of cooking. Rather, their work lies in helping around the kitchen with tasks requiring fundamental knowledge about cooking and cleaning.
In reality, they do not engage further in kitchen activities than washing vegetables for salads, peeling potatoes, and such. The lack of requirement of an experienced level skill in this particular job does indicate that the paycheck is pretty low in comparison to other kitchen workers.
This title is pronounced in the same manner as one would enunciate the word ‘scullery’, which denotes a place in the kitchen where the dishwashing and other minor kitchen-related tasks are completed. Similar to its denotation, the person employed as the escuelerie is in charge of cleaning up all the dirty dishes and cutlery for the restaurant to use later.
Their work is also equally as minor as the work of a kitchen assistant, but it still is a vital position in managing all kitchen business and ensuring a perfectly organized method of serving food to restaurant comers.
The work in a professionally managed restaurant can be incredibly frantic and taxing. Because fine diners pay to get the most luxurious experience out of a restaurant, it is vital for the management force in the kitchen to ensure they give their complete best in providing for their customers.
The need for various chefs and specialization in task management is one that cannot be looked over. Therefore, the hierarchy which defines the levels of jobs given to kitchen employees isn’t one put to pass judgment over the quality of expertise and experience each person has, but rather to differentiate between departments and sections of work.
The division of positions and distribution of specialized tasks maintains a sense of consistency and reinforces a perfectly organized environment of work. Thus, each and every position among all the chef titles is absolutely critical in ensuring a restaurant is perfectly mobile and provides the best service to its customers.

Since the 1950s debate has raged about the impact of new technologies on print culture in the broadest sense and on the publishing industry, libraries, and archives in particular. Succinctly put, “The Death of the Book” has been both proclaimed and denied. Meanwhile, notions of what constitutes a library or an archive have been challenged and transformed by new communications competencies and needs. In response to these realities, the Royal Society of Canada is establishing an Expert Panel on “The Future Now: Canada's Libraries, Archives, and Public Memory”.

The opioid crisis plaguing the U.S. may be even worse than health officials previously thought, with tens of thousands of opioid-related deaths possibly going unreported from 1999 to 2015.
Death certificates in at least five states — Alabama, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania — did not specify the type of drugs used in 35 percent of overdose deaths, a team at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health revealed in a recent study. Pennsylvania had the highest number of unspecified overdose deaths.
Researchers believe at least 70,000 overdose deaths recorded across the U.S. over the span of roughly 16 years were related to opioids.
"States may be greatly underestimating the effect of opioid-related overdose deaths because of incomplete cause-of-death reporting, indicating that the current opioid overdose epidemic may be worse than it appears," the researchers concluded in an article published in the journal of Public Health Reports.
Researchers studied cause-of-death codes (International Classification of Diseases) implemented by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). In some cases, medical examiners or coroners can identify a specific substance used. If they are unsure, they can mark the cause of the overdose "unspecified."
"The missing information on drug types leads to underestimating deaths from specific drugs, such as opioid-related deaths," authors of the study explained.
Researchers found states with a centralized medical examiner system are more likely to label specific drugs related to an overdose death.
"The major advantages of a statewide medical examiner system are the quality of death investigations and forensic pathology services and their independence from population size, county budget variation, and politics," according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. "Certification of death is accomplished by highly trained medical professionals who can integrate autopsy findings with those from the crime scene and the laboratory."
In order to have a more accurate count, researchers suggest updating NCHS death codes and encouraging states to have more organized reporting systems.
In 2016, more than 63,000 drug overdose deaths were reported — and about two-thirds (42,000) were caused by opioids, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On average, the opioid crisis is killing at least 115 people in the U.S. each day.

Gelatin nanospheres incorporating siRNA for controlled intracellular release
The objective of this study is to develop a sustained release system of small interfering RNA (siRNA) inside cells aiming at a prolonged time period of gene suppression. Gelatin aqueous solution containing luciferase siRNA was coacelvated by acetone addition, followed by the glutaraldehyde (GA) crosslinking of gelatin to prepare gelatin nanospheres incorporating siRNA. The nanospheres were degraded with time in phosphate-buffered saline solution containing collagenase to release siRNA incorporated. The nanospheres were degraded more slowly as the GA concentration become higher, and consequently the rate of siRNA become lower. siRNA was released from the nanospheres as a result of nanospheres degradation. The nanospheres were internalized into colon 26 cells luciferase stably expressed, irrespective of the GA concentration. The gene expression was suppressed by the nanospheres incorporating siRNA capable for the longer-term release, and subsequently the time period of gene suppression was prolonged. The siRNA release inside the cell was observed, while the release period became longer for the slow-degraded nanospheres. It is possible that the intracellular siRNA release for a longer time period contributes to the prolonged time period of gene suppression.

Fergus, Ontario – After 18 months of planning and building, President and Director of Hockey Operations, Jason Baier’s vision is about to come to life.
Taking the ice this past weekend in Kincardine for the team’s first exhibition games, the team faced tough battles against the host Bulldogs, and the defending Schmaltz Cup Champions, the Wellesley Apple Jacks. While the scores did not come out in the teams favour, the boys showed excellent promise, and it was evident the team bonding has begun as we head into opening weekend.
The boys bounced back on Sunday afternoon, taking to the road for a match up against the Hespeler Shamrocks. It was an excellent showing by 2 newly signed players, Evan Ahearn and Boden Brimmell who each potted a goal. Ryan McDougall scored the other, and Jacob McKenney picked up the win in the 3-2 victory. The Whalers next match up comes this evening in Parkhill, Ontario as the team takes on the North Middlesex Stars. Puck drop is at 8:20pm and Bradley Boville takes the crease.
Expect an exciting weekend from the team. Saturday night the group heads to Mount Forest for the Inaugural game against the Patriots. Mount Forest, who won the Pollock Division Championship last season, is sure to have a strong team again with many returning players as well as some key additions. Puck drops at 8:00pm and tickets are available at the door.
Sunday is the day we have all been waiting for. The return of Junior hockey to Centre Wellington. We hope you will join us for our 1st home game. We have lots in store planned, and it will be a great battle with the Mitchell Hawks. The boys will take the ice for warm up at 2:30pm with the game getting underway shortly after 3:00pm. Doors open at 2:00pm, and seating is first come first serve.
We are still looking for local sponsors and game day volunteers. If you are interested in getting involved, please

Another Cell Phone Milestone
I have written several columns about cell phones in the past. Each one was due to milestones of growth. The speed of growth in the use of cell phones continues to be astounding. It was announced last week by the International Telecommunication Union that the number of total global cell phone subscribers will exceed the number of non-subscribers for the first time in 2008.
When you stop and think about it, this is nothing less than amazing. This means that more than half of all human beings alive today have cell phones. That includes all children, all the elderly, all the people living in poverty around the world, all the people living in underdeveloped countries and all those living in remote areas of the world where there is no cell phone use. Of course there are a number of people in the U.S. and elsewhere that have more than one cell phone, but that is a very small percentage of total users.
In 2006, when doing research on my forthcoming book and for speeches I deliver, the latest projections at that time suggested that this 50% threshold would not be crossed until 2010 at the earliest. This time compression of projected growth of electronic connectedness has become a familiar experience to me. In addition to cell phone subscriber projections there has been an almost constant upward estimation of Internet users and terabytes of content coursing through the Internet. Research conducted on these growth projections has to be regularly revisited.
We get overwhelmed with this type of rapid growth so that we think that the hard to conceive speed of growth we are living through is as fast as it can get. We then take that rate and project it into the future. Two years later we find that we have underestimated how fast accelerated growth is. We always think that it has to slow down, but it never does. We are racing toward an ever more connected and immediate world.
I believe that this dynamic is moving us to a singularity in connectivity. We are literally erasing time and distance from human communication. If one had the appropriate calling plan from a cellular carrier and one had the phone numbers of the 3 billion people who have cell phones one could immediately connect with that many people at any time, wherever they are. That potential, that growing possibility is unlike anything that has ever existed in human history. In the short time since 1985, humanity has gone from place based phone connectivity for hundreds of millions to mobile connectivity for billions.
Cell phone technology, unlike most other technologies, is a leap frog technology. What that means is that it allows people and countries to leap over some of the historical infrastructure process of development experienced by the countries in the developed world that moved from agricultural, to industrial, to information age and now to shift age societies. Telephone growth was based upon the laying of cable and the stringing of wires; a geographical, wired growth. While the U.S., Europe and Japan went through this sequence of growth, developing countries such as India and China did not. In those two countries, a lot of the industrial to information age development was leap frogged.
Sure, the growth of the Internet has made the laying of cable imperative around the world, but now with the growth of broadband wireless, even that is being leap frogged. When you combine that development with the present and soon to be accelerated growth of Internet access via smart phones the future can be clearly seen. Ever more powerful hand held devices that start to resemble computers combined with ever growing wireless bandwidth creates something that has only been present in science fiction. Humanity has portable, fits in the pocket computing power that also allows us to be all connected.
We all get caught up in the convenience, speed, always available aspect of this development as we talk, type and view content. However, as Marshall McLuhan said, â€œThe medium is the messageâ€. What he meant was that the fact that tens of millions of people were watching television at one time was a more important reality than whatever it was they were watching. This is now true with cell phones and wireless devices. The fact that 3 billion people are now connected with always on connectivity is a fact that is more significant that what they are communicating. It changes the environment in which we live. It is a new environment.
Cell phones are transformative. The cell phone is the global technology. It is one of the key forces that have brought us to the global stage of human evolution. We have created cell phones and they are now one of the forces creating our new world.

US Planemaker Racks Up Big Numbers At Farnborough Air Show
Boeing and Kuwait airplane leasing company ALAFCO today announced a commitment at the 2012 Farnborough Airshow for 20 Boeing 737 MAX 8s valued at $1.9 billion at current list prices. Boeing looks forward to finalizing the agreement, at which time the order will be posted to the Boeing Orders & Deliveries website.
The signing ceremony was attended by ALAFCO's chairman and CEO Mr. Ahmad Alzabin and Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "This is the first commitment for the 737 MAX from the Middle East which is one of the aviation industry's highest growth regions," said Conner. "We are proud of the confidence that ALAFCO has placed in the 737 MAX which will deliver unsurpassed fuel efficiency in the single-aisle market as well as improved environmental performance."
Already a market success, the 737 MAX has accumulated more than 1,000 orders and commitments from 17 customers worldwide since its launch on Aug. 30, 2011. The 737 MAX is the new-engine variant of the world's best-selling airplane and builds on the strengths of today's Next-Generation 737. The airplane will be powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines. Along with the engines, aerodynamic improvements to the tail and the new Advanced Technology winglet, the 737 MAX will reduce fuel burn and CO2 emissions by 13 percent over today's most fuel-efficient single-aisle airplane, the Next-Generation 737. The 737 MAX will have the lowest operating costs in the single-aisle segment with an eight percent advantage per seat over tomorrow's competition.
"Today, with rising fuel costs, the 737 MAX will provide operational cost savings to airlines in addition to being more environmentally-friendly due to its latest quiet engine technology," said Mr. Alzabin. "These are the advantages that airlines are looking for in the current competitive and demanding environment."
ALAFCO had ordered six 737-800s in March 2007 with the last airplane delivered to the leasing company in July 2011.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Senate voted Tuesday to confirm Nikki Haley as ambassador to the United Nations, making her the fourth member of President Donald Trump's Cabinet to be approved even as Republicans and Democrats battle angrily over the pace of confirmations.
Haley, the governor of South Carolina and a rising GOP star, was approved with wide bipartisan support, 96-4.
Republicans are upset at what they complain is a deliberate effort by Democrats to slow walk approval of Trump's top government executives and argue the GOP was much more cooperative when President Barack Obama got seven Cabinet members confirmed on the day he was sworn in back in 2009.
Haley, Republicans say, is an example of a largely non-controversial nominee who should have been approved faster.
"Our Democratic friends need to get over the fact that the election is over and now we have the responsibility of governing -- hopefully, together. But instead so far they've just chosen to obstruct and foot-drag, and to me one of the most shameful and reckless parts of this is the way in which they delayed the confirmation of an important member of President Trump's National Security Cabinet," said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the second-ranking Republican leader.
But Democrats defended what they said was a necessary pace. They charged that Trump selected several people with complicated financial portfolios that needed to be cleared by a government ethics watchdog to ensure they would not have conflicts of interest while in office and others with alleged ethical lapses related to stock trade and unpaid nanny taxes.
"There are a bunch of nominees that have real problems," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat. "Isn't it the obligation of both Democrats and Republicans to vet these candidates thoroughly? They are going to have huge power over the lives of every American."
Two embattled nominees, Georgia Republican Rep. Tom Price and Republican South Carolina Rep. Mick Mulvaney faced contentious confirmation hearings Tuesday and four other nominees were voted out of committee. One was Haley who won approval of the Foreign Relations Committee on a voice vote, although two Democrats recorded "no" votes against her.
"The position of US ambassador to the United Nations requires a high level of expertise on international affairs, not someone who will be learning on the job," said Sen. Chris Coons, a Democrat from Delaware, explaining his vote against her.
The Senate Commerce Committee easily cleared businessman Wilbur Ross to be secretary of commerce and Elaine Chao to be secretary of transportation. The Senate Banking Committee cleared Dr. Ben Carson to be secretary of housing and urban development.
Votes on two other nominees were abruptly canceled without explanation late Monday night.
Aides in both parties were tight-lipped for hours about why Energy Committee Chairman Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and ranking Democrat Maria Cantwell of Washington called off the committee votes for energy secretary nominee Rick Perry and interior secretary Ryan Zinke.
An aide to Murkowski finally issued a statement that there had been a "miscommunication" between the two senators and that votes would be rescheduled soon.
But floor votes on the nominees who cleared committee will have to wait until at least next week. That's because the Senate is leaving town tomorrow as Republicans and Democrats head to their legislative retreats in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, respectively.
GOP leaders said before they leave they will trigger procedural steps that will allow them to clear secretary of state nominee Rex Tillerson early next week and other Cabinet nominees soon after. While Democrats have successfully stalled some of these nominations, they don't have the votes to block them.

After just a short time of escaping censorship in China, Clubhouse is now officially blocked in the country.
With Clubhouse rapidly gaining users in China, it was only a matter of time before this happened, and it really didn’t take long at all! Earlier this week, Chinese users found that they were unable to use the popular audio drop-in app, and swarmed other platforms like WeChat to find ways back on.
To no avail, though, as they can no longer access the app – at least not without a VPN – although the app’s website is still available. Chinese users could only get the app on foreign App Stores, anyway, but could use it freely up until now. The app was actually available on the Chinese App Store for around a month, but that, too, didn’t last long.
The app’s API has now officially been blocked from Monday at around 7 PM (GMT+8), according to sources. Some users have been able to get back access – at least to some of the app’s features – but as with other apps, this ban looks like it’s going to be final.
If you asked yourself “How long will Clubhouse last in China?” – “not long” is your answer.

Jack-of-All-Trade artist Mariana Masa reveals a new talent with her first visual art exhibition, Cheese and potatoes. In November, the comedian will present his 39 paintings, which he designed during epidemics. “I have no pretense behind this exhibition,” he said. But I think the world will see it as cold.

As a teenager, Mariana Massa was interested in painting. “My mom bought me an eel, and I painted a lot,” he says Magazine. A year ago, with an epidemic, I officially started again. I set up a studio in my basement and did it full time.
It is on the set of the show Tower Comedian fell in love with pop art style. “There was a painting by Jerry Bullet, and I asked who did it. They told me it was Tina Cartier, and I contacted her.
Tina Cartier went to the comedian and showed him how his paintings went. “In the end, it was completely different from what I was doing because it uses neon lights. But I really liked it,” says Mariana.
In October 2020, Mariana set herself up and began working on the first canvas, with the late rapper The Notorious Big as a subject saying, “I saw the end. I revolutionized and built my foundation.”
Instead of starting with white canvases, Mariana Masa wanted to work with photographs of iconic figures such as Madonna, Robin Williams, Dolly Barton and Jim Carrey. “I took on global and timeless characters. […] I have no type to paint landscapes. All I want is to take an existing photo and put my universe in it.
“I loved it so much. I could see it was meditative. It did me good. I was doing something other than writing jokes. I was trying to ask myself how I was going to refresh myself. All the stress that came with it when I was doing my sketches. No. ”
Upon learning that her longtime friend Oligorno had opened her gallery in Old Montreal, Mariana contacted him and asked if she could display it at her home. “Without guessing, he said yes,” he says. He came to my house and he selected the most finished, most beautiful and best-selling canvases. We did this as a team. He showed me how to set up a website and generate authentication certificates. This is actually the result of a year of full-time work. ”
All of Mariana Massa’s canvases will go on sale in early November. The price of the original work starts at $ 500 and varies depending on the size of the canvases. The comedian will also sell canvas prints of certain works, limited to 100 copies and priced at $ 225.
“I really need to access it,” he says. I tested with painters to find out how it works with prices. I do not want to come in: “My name is Mariana Massa and I have the most precious paintings.” […] I invested a lot of money in training – several thousand dollars. I wanted the canvases to be ready to hang in someone’s house.
There are very few Quebec artists in this first exhibition. “I have Celine Dion and Michael Richard as teenagers,” says Mariana. I have Jean Lleb, but I don’t think I will expose him. Same thing for Rene Lowes. When I started this, I was not asking myself if I was going to be Quebecs, Francophones, men, women. I went with the most interesting photos to work with. But next year, I will do a 100% Quebec show! ”
Going from one technique to another, Mariana had fun, especially in epoxy, pastel, and watercolor. “I would say my trademark is the 3D elements I added,” he says. On the canvas, there are small elements that always stand out. ”
What does she like about the pop art style explosion? “I think it makes great decorations,” Mariana replied. These are the ones I will hang in my house. I think these are the canvases that a lot of people want in their homes. They are great personalities. “
Mariana Massa decided to invite her to the exhibition Cheese and potatoes (“Fromage at Potted”), because she did not like a flat title Faces of my life, She says. “I thought it was fun and a joke for an industry that has always been inaccessible and wants to take itself seriously,” he says. Plus, the food I ate during the cheese and potato epidemics! [rires]. I thought it was fun. I tried a little to keep my humor there. ”
Exhibition Cheese and potatoes, Presented by Mariana Massa to the public from November 3 to 6 at the Gallery Institute of National Art Contemporary in Old Montreal.

The new domestic violence disclosure scheme will be subjected upon Kylle Godfrey, from London, for the first time.
A legal first:
The first person in England and Wales who is obliged to tell police if he gets a new girlfriend, is a man who violently abused two former partners.
The seven-year criminal behavior order, which Kylle Godfrey is subject to, means he must inform police if he is in a relationship for more than 14 days, so that officers can tell new partners about his previous violent behavior under the domestic violence disclosure scheme.
The specific requirement to notify police about developments in his private life, is a legal first. It was made under the Antisocial Behavior, Crime and Police Act 2014.
30 year old Godfrey from Neasden, north-west London is currently serving a three-year prison sentence for two counts of actual bodily harm, perverting the course of justice and witness intimidation. Over several days in October last year, he attacked his victim and banged her head on the floor, causing trauma injuries to her head.
North London’s Wood Green crown court was told that while he was on bail, he continued to intimidate her and also assaulted a second woman he was in a relationship with.
Last week, the order was made, after Godfrey had admitted to the attacks during a court hearing on February 14.
“This order gives us a new way of protecting victims of domestic abuse and prevents other women from suffering at the hands of people like Godfrey, and helps our efforts to tackle domestic violence,” said DI Jane Topping, of the Hackney community safety unit.
“The victim in Godfrey’s case was subjected to a horrendous ordeal by him following a sustained campaign of domestic violence. She has shown incredible bravery in supporting our investigation, and I hope she feels safer now Godfrey is behind bars and will be subject to closer scrutiny.”
Last year, despite being cleared of rape, a man was ordered by the court to inform police 24 hours before any sexual contact with a woman.
The man is also subject to restrictions online and is required to inform police any phone he owned that could access the internet, call or text people.
The man was acquitted of raping a woman at a retrial in 2015 after stating that the alleged victim had consented.

The Northwest Center for Behavioral Health is seeking volunteers to perform tobacco reward reminder visits for those under the age of 18, and alcohol sales compliance checks for those under 21. Volunteers will earn community service hours that can be used for honor society and scholarships. Participants must be between the ages of 16 and 20.
According to the Surgeon General, 90 percent of smokers begin before the age of 19 and every day almost 3,900 adolescents under the age of 18 try their first cigarette. More than 950 of those adolescents will become daily smokers.
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the US. Studies have shown that nearly all first time use of tobacco takes place before high school graduation and that teens who smoke are more likely to have panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and depression according to dosomething.org.
Recent studies have also shown that approximately 53 percent of adults report that one or more of their close relatives has a drinking problem. Those most vulnerable to problem drinking are young adults between the ages of 18 and 29, while those least susceptible are 65 years of age or older. These young adults are particularly susceptible to binge drinking (five or more drinks in two hours for men, four or more drinks in two hours for women). In 2002, U.S. alcoholism statistics showed that 2.6 million binge drinkers were between the ages of 12 and 17, according to the website caron.org.
The youth who volunteer to do the compliance checks will be working outside of their own towns.
“It wouldn't do them much good to try and buy alcohol or tobacco in a town where they'd be recognized. We cover Woods, Ellis, Woodward, Harper and the three panhandle counties in Northwest Oklahoma. The volunteers will have a police officer outside to intervene if a compliance violation is committed,” said Tandy Keenan, prevention resource development coordinator-prevention director for Northwest Center for Behavioral Health.
The volunteers will enter stores where tobacco and alcohol are sold and attempt to purchase an item they are not legally old enough to purchase.
Keenan said the purpose is to ensure that stores aren't selling tobacco and alcohol to minors.
If a volunteer is successful in purchasing an item, law enforcement steps in to take action against the person and company that has committed the illegal sale of alcohol or tobacco to a minor, which can bring fines or criminal charges, Keenan noted.
For more information contact Glenda Blosser at 580-571-3240 or Keenan at 580-571-3241.

As I mentioned in the previous post, I have been working on a new self-paced class from Scrapaneers called The Power of the Pen Tool with Amanda Taylor. The Pen Tool is a tool in Photoshop that is used to draw shapes, lines and paths. Before this class I had a basic understanding of the tool, but was really frustrated whenever I needed to use it. So when I saw an entire class dedicated to it, I jumped at the chance to learn more!
There are many ways to use the pen tool, but my favourite, and the main reason for taking this class, is drawing shapes. Along with the video tutorials, Amanda provided a practice guide for tracing basic shapes, and, once that was mastered, more complex shapes.
After finishing all the shapes on the practice guide, I was finally confident in my abilities with the pen tool to draw some fun shapes for Robyn’s birthday invitation. The crown and pirate patch were the perfect additions for her princess and pirate party invites!
The other lesson that was invaluable to me as a new designer was extracting objects from a photo. The flower in the photo below was separated front the background by tracing around the edge of the flower with the pen tool. This process was long and tedious, but well worth the effort of tracing all those curves and details. The end result was a realistic looking daisy that would look great as a digital embellishment to any scrapbook page.
The daisy (with a nice drop shadow added) looks just like the real thing on this layout with my soccer-loving son. (Other embellishments from Mye De Leon, Creashens, Kitty Designs, and One Little Bird.)
The pen tool can also be used to create a path for the text/journalling:
And to design custom lines of any shape:
Other than knowing the keyboard shortcuts, Amanda’s biggest tip for mastering this tool was PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!! And then some more practice! Even though I feel more at ease with the pen tool now, there are still so many nuances with it that will take time to figure out.
This was the first class I have taken with Amanda and it was amazing! If you are looking to improve your Photoshop skills, I would highly recommend this class. I can’t wait to see what tool Scrapaneers chooses to focus on next – I hope it is the brush tool!!

I think that most of Europe’s fans would agree that European vacation is incomplete without exploring the beautiful islands of Aegean and the Mediterranean seas. Having said that, Greek islands in specific possess a unique attraction for tourists from all around the world. Santorini is one of these whitewashed beautiful islands that compliment the deep blue sea. And FYI, the word Santorini means nothing less than a sheer luxury.
Last summer we visited Athens and Santorini. Thanks to booking.com and TripAdvisor, we found amazing hotels for every destination.
Here’s a detailed review of Alexander’s Boutique Hotel Oia, which made our 3-night stay in Santorini with kids super comfortable and memorable:
Located in the town of Oia, Alexander’s Boutique Hotel is about an hour drive from Thira International Airport. This town is most popular with families and tourists who seek relaxation because it is comparatively less crowded than Fira. Also, it has the most astounding views of the sunset and the famous caldera, both.
Location wise, it was surely a perfect option for our family because of the nearby market street which had car rentals, medical clinic, grocery, hardware shop, souvenir shops and unlimited dining options.
We found the hotel’s staff quite hospitable and welcoming. They were always ready to help and assist us, even at odd timings of the day; You know what kind of emergency situations toddlers create every now and then. They were polite with our kids, however, one of our neighbor guests were distressed once during our kid’s afternoon in the outdoor hot tub.
Value for Money
Sadly, hotel’s rates in summer season do not justify value for money at all. They charged us 100 Euros/child/night in addition to 350 Euros/night for adults. These rates are the only reason why I will rate our stay a 7/10 instead of 10/10.
FYI, I just got a mini heart attack by looking at LITERALLY 10x lesser prices for February compared to what we paid in July. It is super expensive in the peak season from June-August, so I suggest you plan accordingly.
The hotel just serves a nice “all you can eat” breakfast which includes deviled eggs, granola, fruits, bread, and tea/juices. However, there are multiple restaurants just a few steps from the hotel where you can find food for lunch and dinner.
We stayed in their Superior Cave Villa that had a double bed and two single beds for the kids. All of us enjoyed staying in a cave room for the first time, which was beautifully furnished and decorated with Greek artifacts. The room was quite spacious and accommodated all our luggage and the kid’s mess easily. It also had a little kitchenette in the corner with some essential crockery to prepare coffee or your takeaway snacks that you can eat in front of speldid caldera views.
The bathroom, however, needed a little upgrade regarding ventilation and fixtures.

Although the last election of the Ilorin Branch of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) has come and gone, memories of the event will continue to linger among the lawyers in the state for a long time to come as the race for who emerged the 23 chairman of the Ilorin bar climaxed on Friday.
Announcing the results, the electoral committee chairman, Bar Idowu Salihu declared Bar Abdulganiyu Bello the winner of the keenly contested exercise polling 98 votes to emerge winner ahead of his opponent, Abiodun Dada, who polled 74 votes.
Shortly after his declaration, the chairman-elect could not hold back tears as he wept at the bar centre after he drove in around past 4:00pm amidst shout of congratulations from colleagues who had massed at the facility in anticipation of the results.
Except journalists and security men, the electoral committee disallowed any other member of the association to access the venue of the election while the poll was ongoing.
From its initial time of 6:am to 3:pm, the time for the electronic voting was adjusted to begin from 10:00am with close to 180 votes cast. Since it was electronic voting, the environment at the bar centre betrayed the intense intrigues and campaign that followed the exercise.
But how was the election won and lost and what are the factors that tilted the pendulum to the side of the new chairman in a race that many still believed was a referendum of sort about the religion narrative that has come to define the Ilorin bar but gladly managed to avoid it snowballing to another round of crisis after the recent one that underscored the 20th executive led by Ojibara and its predecessor.
And furthermore, what role did professional religious associations like the Christian Lawyers Fellowship of Nigeria and Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria played including the ‘Elders Forum’ in all of this? If anything, the soothing relief is that the bar appeared to have learnt from the Ojibara-Balogun episode and seemed determined and working beyond the limit to ensure there was no repeat of that period.
According to insiders and lawyers who followed and monitored the event, the election was won and lost long before the day of voting.
One of the lawyers, who spoke with Pilot Law on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to speak officially on the matter, said the voting although was dictated by other factors majored on the issue of religion.
According to him, the pruning of the number of eligible voters to those that have only attended two meetings as against five disqualified a large amount of lawyers and left the field open for less than two hundred people.
As the D-Day drew nearer, both groups it was gathered, at a stage decided to come to a sort of compromise where some of their candidates vying for certain position will step down for their opponents but the arrangement later collapsed.
At a point, this medium learnt that the elders in the bar tried to settle both parties to avoid religious politics but the efforts did not yield desired result and the plea to vote for individual rather than attaching such with any affinity fell on deaf ears.
“Some of those that were asked to step down later came for interview and there is need for all of us to come to the table. If you remember, it was the issue that Yusuf Alli (SAN) spoke at length about in his topic when he came to commission the gym at the bar centre that everybody should see the themselves as one in Ilorin bar”, the lawyer noted.
However, at the initial stage of the campaign, three candidates sought the office of the chairman. Bar Biodun Dada, Abdulganiyu Bello and Kamaldeen Gambari. The scenario might have given the advantage to Dada because of the possibility of the Muslims splitting the votes. But it was gathered that the Muslim Lawyers Association (MULAN) and “others” had to step in to convince Kamaldeen popular know as Gambus to step down far into the race which gave Bello the edge over his fellow bar man, Dada. With the pattern of the voting, it would have been very interesting to see how Dada would have lost bearing in mind that the vote cast was 98-74.
Various associations within the NBA also played prominent role in the emergence of some candidates. For the post of the secretary, the emergence of J.S. Muhammad might be difficult to detach from the support and solidarity of the leadership and members of the Young Lawyer Forum as their former chairman while the Christian Lawyers Fellowship of Nigeria (CLASFON) also reportedly rallied round its candidates. Same with FIDA which had to distinguish between two of its candidates for the post of NBA Provost won by Bar Aisha Temim.
But speaking on the issue, the former chairman, Bar Akande said there were no intrigues that played out than the conviction, personal relationship, capacity to serve and the antecedents of the candidates of choice and their manifestoes.
“The two chairmen are very good and have served the bar at levels in the past, I have worked with them at various committee levels. You can see that two of them had substantial votes which shows that lawyers really love them but someone must be elected.
“Our uniform bye laws disqualified over 70 percent of the voters from over a thousand lawyers to just about two hundred. So if one belong to an association, you must be committed to its cause, attending meetings and paying dues as expected. But even if everybody voted, that result might still have gone the same way. There are people that played prominent roles but did not vote.
“It was a very fair process and those that didn’t emerge never approached the appeal committee set up by the national body to tell you that everybody was satisfied with the result and outcome. It is about the bar.
On the issue of religion, Akande said “he doesn’t totally agree that religion was the deciding factor going by the list. “Although religion cannot be ruled out of any election across the world, Nigeria and Ilorin inclusive, but that was not the major deciding factor. Some people have argued on this line but I don’t totally agree”, he added.
In his reaction, the chairman of Muslim Lawyers Association, Bar Sharafdeen Ibrahim said although he would have loved to see all his members emerged during the election, the election and process was fair, adding that votes were cast across divide and candidates emerged from both religions.
Effort to get the reaction of CLASFON secretary, Bar Atoyebi John Kehinde was not successful as he said he could no longer talk on such issue after his appointment as a magistrate.
But in a whatsapp message last night, a senior member of CLASFON, Bar Ronke Adeyemi commended the Electoral committee for a job well done and congratulated all members of Ilorin Bar for a peaceful election.
According to her, “I am not aware of any religious narrative underlining the election. NBA is a professional association and not a religious organization”.
She advised that “Political differences will always come with every election, that’s natural. The admonition is that once the elections are over we should close ranks and join hands to move our association forward with the new leaders. The frequency of the election (being every other year) makes it imperative that we quickly move past political divisions as another election will just be round the corner again.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents an aggressive subtype with limited therapeutic options. Experimental preclinical models that recapitulate their tumors of origin can accelerate target identification, thereby potentially improving therapeutic efficacy. Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), due to their genomic and transcriptomic fidelity to the tumors from which they are derived, are poised to improve the preclinical testing of drug-target combinations in translational models. Despite the previous development of breast and TNBC PDX models, those derived from patients with demonstrated health-disparities are lacking. Methods: We use an aggressive TNBC PDX model propagated in SCID/Beige mice that was established from an African-American woman, TU-BcX-2 K1, and assess its metastatic potential and drug sensitivities under distinct in vitro conditions. Cellular derivatives of the primary tumor or the PDX were grown in 2D culture conditions or grown in mammospheres 3D culture. Flow cytometry and fluorescence staining was used to quantify cancer stem cell-like populations. qRT-PCR was used to describe the mesenchymal gene signature of the tumor. The sensitivity of TU-BcX-2 K1-derived cells to anti-neoplastic oncology drugs was compared in adherent cells and mammospheres. Drug response was evaluated using a live/dead staining kit and crystal violet staining. Results: TU-BcX-2 K1 has a low propensity for metastasis, reflects a mesenchymal state, and contains a large burden of cancer stem cells. We show that TU-BcX-2 K1 cells have differential responses to cytotoxic and targeted therapies in 2D compared to 3D culture conditions insofar as several drug classes conferred sensitivity in 2D but not in 3D culture, or cells grown as mammospheres. Conclusions: Here we introduce a new TNBC PDX model and demonstrate the differences in evaluating drug sensitivity in adherent cells compared to mammosphere, or suspension, culture.

Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank’s remark at IIT-Kharagpur on Tuesday, describing Ram Setu as an “ancient Indian engineering marvel that astonishes the world even today“, appears to have embarrassed many in the party and government. When his predecessor, Prakash Javadekar, who happened to be in the party office for a press conference on Wednesday, was asked if he believed Nishank’s remarks on Ram Setu and the Himalayas — Nishank had said the Himalayas guard against pollution by developed countries, absorbing poison “like Nilkantha” — he evaded the question with a smile.
PRIME MINISTER Narendra Modi’s warning note on pollution caused by single-use plastic in his Independence Day speech seems to be having an effect. At an event for community radio stations on Wednesday, just before Union Minister for Information & Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar’s arrival, the organisers realised that they had placed plastic water bottles on the stage. So there was a last-minute scramble, and the bottles were removed. Javadekar is also the Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
Editor’s Note: Responding to the report ‘A New Record’ which stated that the Delhi High Court is set to designate Advocate Tanmay Mehta as its youngest-ever Senior Advocate, K K Bhati, Registrar (Designation of Senior Advocate Secretariat), High Court of Delhi, has written saying the report is “factually incorrect and misleading” and “till date Mr Tanmay Mehta has not applied for being designated as Senior Advocate”. The error is regretted.


The Aaron Rodgers trade rumors are in full bloom. While we don’t yet know what his decision will entail when it comes to playing in 2023, we know that teams are certainly interested in the four-time MVP. It would seem, however, that one team has already backed out of the Aaron Rodgers sweepstakes. Las Vegas Raiders’ General Manager had an interesting comment regarding trading “a bunch of resources for one player.”
Las Vegas Raiders Are Not Likely To Pursue Aaron Rodgers
Tashan Reed of The Athletic asked Dave Ziegler, the General Manager of the Raiders, this question: “You’re set to have a lot of cap space and draft picks this offseason. How beneficial is having the added flexibility that brings?” This was his response:
The combination of the cap space and the draft picks, you’re less restricted. If we only had a limited amount of cap space, there’s only a limited amount of things you can do. We’re going into this offseason with a lot of open options. There’s not a whole lot of things that we have to close off. But the reality is we have quite a few areas on the football team that we want to improve. Allocating a bunch of resources to one player at one position, I don’t know how intelligent that is because you have to look at all the areas that you need to improve the team on. I don’t think we’re one or two $15-20 million players away from us building it exactly how we want to build it and having the right amount of depth and having the right amount of starting-level players, too, at different positions. Again, while you have flexibility with the picks and the cap, which is nice, you don’t feel like a restraint in that way, you also have to understand where you’re at as a team and how far you need to go in terms of building it the right way.
The part that stands out is “Allocating a bunch of resources to one player at one position, I don’t know how intelligent that is…” That would certainly insinuate that the Raiders aren’t looking to pull off a massive trade for any player, let alone Aaron Rodgers. The Packers assumed asking price for Aaron Rodgers is pretty steep. Peter King of NBC Sports believes the Packers would want “at least two first-round picks” in any trade for Rodgers. It is possible the Packers would agree to a player (presumably a starter) and one first round draft pick. Either way, that is a lot to give up, even if it is for a four-time MVP quarterback.

A non-governmental organisation, Anchor Heritage, has lauded the Federal Government for signing into law, the Nigerian Correctional Service Bill to reform the prison system.
The new bill repealed the Nigeria Prisons Act and proclaimed the treatment of prisons as a correctional centers.
Anchor Heritage President Bidemi Oladipupo said the government’s move aligned with the vision and plans of the group.
“Our organisation has embarked on empowerment programmes across prisons in the Southwest and Northcentral, empowering over 400 inmates as part of our contributions to the prison reform process,” he said.
He called on the Federal Government to partner the private sector in providing services for congested Nigerian prisons in line with global best practices.
“We believe that empowered inmates will re-integrate easily into the society to become productive citizens,” he said.

ProRower H2O RX-950 Review
Check ProRower H2O RX-950 Review details below:-
The ProRower H2O RX-950 Club Series Rowing Machine is based on the bestselling RX-850 (and to an extent the ProRower H2O RX-750), with a few extras. Therefore, you can be assured that you are getting a well-constructed, reliable rower that offers a lifelike rowing experience, in addition to a generous warranty. But is it really worth paying extra for the RX-950?
Mimics On-the-Water Rowing
Many people, when they are in the market for a rower, want a machine that is able to accurately mimic the feeling of rowing on water as if they are sat in a boat with the wind blowing in their face as they row – and I’m sure that you feel the same way.
Unfortunately, the RX-950 is unable to provide that cool breeze blowing in your face as you row, but what it does do, however, is mimic the on-the-water feel of rowing thanks to the innovative Hydro-Power Drive System. Couple that with the internal paddle system and polycarbonate water tank, and the result is a smooth, true, lifelike rowing experience.
Just like rowing in a boat, the water acts as the resistance system. If you want a tougher workout, simply row faster; if you want a more relaxing workout, row slower. This natural adaptive resistance is an excellent feature as it means that the RX-950 can be used by virtually anyone, but there is one caveat – see Any Complaints.
The adjustable, pivoting footrests are able to accommodate a wide range of users. Furthermore, the included “sure-grip” footpads enhance the machine’s comfort and safety, which we felt was a nice touch.
The RX-950 takes up a minimal amount of floor space thanks to its compact design. It measures just 89 x 30 x 26 inches, and folds or stands upright for easy storage. Despite its compactness, the RX-950 somehow manages to support a maximum user weight of 550 pounds, which is probably down to the corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum and stainless steel.
The ProRower H2O RX-950 oversized, easy-to-read display provides feedback on everything that you could want to know as your row, including calories burned, strokes per minute, 500-meter split time, distance, exercise time and heart rate – which works via the built-in heart rate receiver. There isn’t much else to say apart from that all the readings are accurate.
This rower comes with a lifetime frame, 3-year tank and seals, and 2-year mechanical and non-wearing components warranty.
89 x 30 x 26 inches
The RX-950 has been extremely well received since its release, with users praising the simple assembly process, the overall feel of the workout, and most importantly, the effectiveness of the workout. However, a couple of users have also complained about the seat and level of resistance.
Click here to read more pros and cons >>> ProRower H2O RX-950 Review
It would have been nice if ProRower had equipped the RX-950 with a height adjustable seat and made the resistance a little greater (supports 4.5 gallons of water); although, the level of resistance should provide enough of a challenge, unless you are a serious rower, and the lack of adjustability for the seat shouldn’t be a problem unless you are very tall, i.e. 6 foot 3” or taller.
Anything Else You Should Know?
All you need to know is that the RX-950 is pretty much the same as the RX-850, which has established itself to be an excellent rower, with a few extras. Therefore, if an elevated seat, dual rails and a higher user weight capacity is something you are interested in, you should opt for the RX-950. However, if you are not too concerned with these features then do yourself a favor and save a bit of money by purchasing the RX-850.
While the decision comes down to you personal preferences, whichever one you choose, you are likely to be happy with your purchase.

You love your iPhone more than me! Almost half of cheaters admit they strayed because partner paid more attention to their mobile
- 45% said they would cheat as they felt second best to partner's phone
- Women aged 30-50 were most likely to feel this way
- They've been 'phubbed' at meal times, during conversations and after sex
If you don't want your partner to cheat, then new research suggests you should spend less time on your smartphone.
According to a recent survey, almost half of those questioned admitted they have cheated while in a relationship because they felt second best to their partner's mobile.
Some said they felt their other half paid more attention to their phone than they did to them, checking them during meals, while watching a film, in the middle of an important conversation and even immediately after sex.
I'm on the phone! Nearly half of those surveyed said they felt second best to their partner's mobile
The practice of ignoring the person you are with to focus on your smartphone has become so common place it's even been given it's own term - 'phubbing'.
But it seems the tendency is now having a negative effect on relationships.
Dating website Victoria Milan surveyed 6000 of their members and found 45 per cent would cheat, or have cheated, on their partner because they felt they paid more attention to their phone or tablet than they did to them.
Women aged 30-50 were most likely to feel this way.
Addiction: Mobiles are being used during meal times and in bed
Ironically, those seeking an affair because their partner snubbed them for the smartphone would use their own mobile to meet someone new.
Sixty-six per cent of respondents insist that they wouldn't be unfaithful at all without the help of new technologies - the internet in particular.
Sigurd Vedal, CEO of Victoria Milan, said: 'Like anything else that enhances our lives, technology is a double-edged sword.
'It's a predictable, albeit unfortunate, commentary that modern use of technology has led to a kind of social isolation - being alone in a room of many others - that leads to seeking out connections with others when we are left feeling unfulfilled in our day to day relationships. One way or the other we need to find that connection.'
'Alone in a room of others': Many are choosing to connect with people online rather than in person

in twilight town
the sky sighs in sepia hues
shadows stretch long across the boulevards
an ageless man sweeps the street
of an autumn that never began.
humidity hangs low over a stilted horizon
in filtered violet dust.
a woman leaves a beige cafe
tea in hand, headache in her heart.
she stands at the curb and waits for the bus
as she always does.
and she’ll wait for a lifetime.
the day’s dying rays stretch over the roofs
of identical houses and neighborhoods
whose windows and doors never close
whose garages hang open to choke
on silence and the heavy stillness
of an infinite summer twilight.
the sun never manages its goodbyes
the stars hold a breath they will never exhale
the moon never shows its face.
the cars are idling in the streets
waiting forever for the light to turn green.
everyone was a dreamer and a believer
until hope ran its course and left nothing
but ghosts behind.
