UPDATE 10/17/16 – Michelle was brought to the Boynton Beach Police Department by her father’s lawyer. Michael Ojeda, was taken into custody by the US Marshals South Florida Fugitive Task Force.
Original story: Florida police are searching for a missing 3-year-old girl from Boynton Beach who was last seen on Saturday, Oct. 15.
Michelle NG Rodriguez was picked up by her father, Michael NG Ojeda, 41, around 5:20 p.m. from the Via Lugano apartments and was due to bring her back to her mother’s sister’s home for a family party around 8 p.m., but Michael never showed up.
Michelle was last seen wearing black leggings, a pink sleeveless blouse and tan fur coat with silver shoes that light up. She has a vertical scratch on her forehead from where her cat scratched her on Saturday.
Many are questioning why an Amber Alert was not issued. The Boynton Police Dept. states it does not meet the criteria:
So let’s go over the criteria.
Law enforcement believes an abduction has occurred. YES
The Child is 17-years-old or younger. – YES
Law enforcement believes the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death. – I’m sure the mom would say, YES, but doesn’t the arrests warrant itself change the situation, and maybe make the father desperate? Evidently, not as the Boynton Police Dept. did state on Mon. on their Facebook page, “This is a case of interference with parental custody. At this point, we do not have any reason to believe that the child is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury or death, which is the criteria for an Amber Alert.”
Sufficient descriptive information about the victim and the abduction exists to believe that an immediate Amber Alert broadcast will help. – YES
The child’s name and other critical information including the fact that the case is considered a child abduction have been entered into the NCIC system. – Since this is mandatory I would hope that is a YES.
Another criteria that is not listed in this state is knowing the description of the abductor and the car. Both of which the police know. So, I am scratching my head on this one. Tennessee was criticized for waiting too long to issued an Amber Alert for Rebecca Lewis, is Florida doing the same? They are staunchly defending their reason for not releasing an alert.
Ojeda is driving a red 2012 Ford Shelby Mustang with a Florida tag of BVMI94, and a white stripe that runs from the hood to the trunk of the vehicle. He was last seen wearing jeans, a dark t-shirt and black and white ball cap.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Ojeda.
Anyone with information or who has seen them is urged to immediately call Boynton Beach Police at 561-732-8116 or their local law enforcement agency.Amber Al

New Jersey may be known for its industrial cities and busy highways, but there’s another side to this state that’s worth exploring: its iconic boardwalks. Stretching for miles along the coast, these wooden promenades are the epitome of summertime fun, with games, rides, food, and entertainment for all ages. Here’s a guide to some of the best boardwalks in New Jersey.
Atlantic City Boardwalk: The granddaddy of them all, Atlantic City’s boardwalk has been a fixture since 1870, when it was built to keep sand out of the hotels. Today, the 5.5-mile boardwalk is home to some of the most famous casinos in the world, as well as attractions like the Steel Pier amusement park, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum, and the Absecon Lighthouse. You can also find plenty of food options here, from saltwater taffy and funnel cakes to high-end restaurants.
Wildwood Boardwalk: Known for its neon lights and retro vibe, Wildwood’s boardwalk is a blast from the past. This 2-mile stretch is home to over 100 rides and attractions, including three piers with amusement parks, water parks, and arcades. You can also take a tram ride down the boardwalk, play mini-golf, or sample some of the classic Jersey Shore foods like pizza, cheesesteaks, and custard.
Ocean City Boardwalk: If you’re looking for a family-friendly boardwalk, Ocean City is a great choice. This 2.5-mile boardwalk is alcohol-free and has a curfew, making it a safe and pleasant environment for kids and parents. You’ll find amusement rides, mini-golf, and a water park, as well as shops selling beach gear, souvenirs, and fudge. Don’t miss the Music Pier, where you can catch concerts, shows, and events throughout the summer.
Seaside Heights Boardwalk: Made famous by the reality show Jersey Shore, Seaside Heights is a lively boardwalk with a lot of energy. You can ride roller coasters and water slides, play games of chance, and dance to live music at clubs like Karma and Bamboo. There’s also a big beach here, as well as a fishing pier, an aquarium, and a casino arcade.
Asbury Park Boardwalk: Finally, we come to Asbury Park, a revitalized boardwalk that’s become a hotspot for foodies, artists, and music lovers. This 1.25-mile boardwalk has undergone a lot of changes in recent years, with new restaurants, bars, and boutiques popping up. You can also catch a concert at the Stone Pony or Paramount Theatre, visit the Silverball Pinball Museum, or stroll down to the end of the boardwalk to see the colorful murals of the Casino Building.
No matter which boardwalk you choose, you’re sure to have a great time in New Jersey. So grab some sunscreen, put on your flip-flops, and get ready for a day of sun, sand, and smiles.

It is time to stop while we are ahead. Forget whether Taipei ever had a hope of qualifying (Rich food culture? Yes. Sustainable agriculture? Not recently. Politically? No). The NT$15 million is gone. It could have been spent on better projects, but no one should waste more time or money debating the merits or ramifications of a bid for a program that is no longer open. The lesson to be learned is that the next time someone comes up with an idea to broaden Taipei’s — or Taiwan’s — international image, they had better do their research.

NATCHITOCHES — Staring at the first chance to pick up his 600th career coaching win Tuesday night when Northwestern State basketball team hosts Abilene Christian, Demons’ coach Mike McConathy has another number in mind.
“I’d like to be 3-1 in conference. That’s all I’m concerned with,” said McConathy, who in his 32nd year of college coaching and his 16th at NSU has 599 wins after freshman guard Devonte Hall’s buzzer-beating 6-footer settled Saturday’s 103-101 shootout with Incarnate Word.
McConathy, a former Airline star, picked up 352 of his wins in 16 years as head coach at Bossier Parish Community College.
The Demons (7-7 overall) can move to 3-1 in the Southland if they can hand the much-improved Wildcats their first conference loss in a 6:30 matchup at Prather Coliseum. ACU (8-7, 2-0) has already matched its conference win total from last season with a pair of 17-point homecourt victories over Central Arkansas and Nicholls, and has captured four of its last five overall while being over .500 at this point of the season for the first time since 2008.
“They’re markedly improved,” said McConathy. “They have two small guards who pose problems for us, they shoot very well from outside and on 3-pointers, and obviously they’re playing well. We’ve got our hands full.”
So will the Wildcats, facing an offense averaging 90 points in its last six games, spearheaded by the NCAA’s assists leader (Southland Player of the Week Jalan West, averaging 7.6 assists) and second-ranked scorer (Zeek Woodley, 22.3 per game). West had 33 and Woodley 28 in Saturday’s wild win.
West, who is averaging 21.8 in the last eight games, has raised his season’s scoring average to 17.4.
ACU has three double-figure scorers led by returning standout guard Parker Wentz (13.4 points per game on 45 percent 3-point aim), Harrison Hawkins (12.6 ppg) and LaDarrien Williams (11.1).
The Demons will celebrate a milestone not long after tipoff with 6-10 junior college transfer Deji Adekunle making his long-delayed debut. A surprising NCAA eligibility ruling sidelined him for the season’s first 14 games, despite appeals, and has at this point denied him a senior season next year, related to the Englishman’s brief enrollment at a now-defunct West Virginia prep school.
“The NCAA makes decisions that we don’t agree with. I’m not happy about it, because it impacts a real quality young man,” said McConathy. “He didn’t do anything wrong, he’s a wonderful person and a good student in music education who has a bright future. He will go pro in something other than sports. We have to accept it and go forward, and sometimes that’s easier said than done.
“What kind of impact will he make? I’m clueless. I honestly don’t know what to expect. Deji’s a good addition, but with all the game prep we’ve been doing since Christmas we really haven’t had the opportunity to mesh him into rotations at practice,” said McConathy. “He has worked hard in individual workouts and he looked good out there this (Monday) morning. Obviously he adds a big body and athleticism inside, and you can never have enough of that. We’re just very happy that he finally gets to go out and play.”
McConathy hopes Adekunle will contribute to some improved defense.
“There definitely wasn’t any defense Saturday. The object is to score more than the other team, but it would help if we made it more difficult for them to score. We gave up way too many easy baskets and can’t continue to do that,” he said.
If the Demons can hamper ACU enough to prevail, the 600th win will attest to longevity and many contributors, said McConathy.
“I’ll admit it is a milestone number that says I’ve been doing this for a long time, but it’s not about me. It’s due to a lot of hard-working, quality young men who have played for me through the years, and some outstanding coaches and staff who have worked along with me, especially since I’ve been at Northwestern,” he said. “I hope we can get it done Tuesday night because that will mean we’ve beaten a good team and we will have defended our homecourt.”
The Demons are aiming for their 14th home win in 15 tries dating back almost a year, and for their 26th victory in 31 outings since West’s career began in 2012-13.
The contest will be broadcast on the Demon Sports Network, including SuperTalk 1340 AM KRMD in Shreveport. Free audio is available at NSUDemons.com and SuperTalk1340.com, with pay-per-view video streamed at NSUDemons.com.
The Demons wrap up a season-long three-game homestand Saturday afternoon against Lamar.

Rhode Island dispensary goes to court to stop mandatory labor agreements
Greenleaf Compassionate Care Center in Portsmouth Rhode Island has started the process to fight the requirement for labor agreements to be in place between cannabis companies and their workers. In 2022 Rhode Island lawmakers updated the state cannabis laws to include mandatory labor peace agreements as part of the licensing process. According to the Providence Journal, Greenleaf says that the current rule undermines the bargaining power of employers and restricts the rights of employees who wish to strike. Others perceive this lawsuit an attempt by Greenleaf to prevent unionization and organization of workers after the company recently settled two cases related to ongoing labor disputes. Labor peace agreements are not a component of every state that has legalized cannabis but the requirement is in place for cannabis businesses in Connecticut.

Another lost season in San Francisco has clouded longtime skipper Bruce Bochy’s future. His deal expires after the 2019 season, but will he return in the first place?
At 70-80, the San Francisco Giants are nearing the end of a disappointing 2018 campaign. While it isn’t his fault, manager Bruce Bochy might end up taking the fall for two straight underwhelming seasons.
While Bochy himself has said he’d like to be back, “ownership hasn’t fully clarified the manager’s status for next year,” according to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle.
More from San Francisco Giants
- Stock Up, Stock Down: Mariners, Padres, Giants, Phillies
- Trade deadline: NL West for sale, plus Dodgers, Giants, Diamondbacks wish list
- Grading Zaidi, Putila and the San Francisco Giants front office at the season’s midway point
- MLB: 4 National League teams surprisingly saving their season in June
- Dodgers, Diamondbacks, Giants, Padres, Rockies: NL West June check-in
There are a number of reasons as to why.
The Giants are 134-178 from 2017-18 thus far. That’s not exactly ideal for a team that won the World Series just four years ago.
However, it appears Giants’ brass got a dose of reality, as they traded Cutch to New York in August.
San Francisco has become an organization that is attempting to squeeze out one last playoff run. The truth is, though, the roster is filled with veterans past their primes.
With an average farm system, letting Bochy walk could be the right move.
But, don’t tell him that. When talking to Shea, Bochy reaffirmed his love for managing.
"“The love of the game and the desire to get back to the postseason,” he said, listing two of his motives for wanting to return. “I’d love to have another shot at winning the championship. That doesn’t mean it happens like you want, but that’s what I want. I’m still hungry for that.”"
Bochy is 11th all-time in manager wins, a three-time World Series champion and one of the most respected skippers in the game. If he were to be let go, suitors would line up for his services.
It’d be a disappointing end to his tenure in the bay area. His stars have underperformed and injuries have taken their toll. It’s a tough situation to put the blame on one particular person.
Shea also spoke to a scout who gave his take on Bochy returning in 2019.
"“If Boch wants to stay, nobody should say anything and nobody should run him out,” the scout said. “If he says he wants to stay, he should stay. They owe it to him. Nobody owes anything to anyone in this game, but they owe it to him. Boch on a bad day is better than any other manager in the big leagues on a good day.”"
Time will tell, but one thing is certain; Bochy has done all he’s can for the San Francisco Giants.


A six-story development in downtown Urbana?
URBANA — A Champaign architect and developer has proposed construction of a multimillion-dollar mixed-use project across Vine Street from the federal courthouse and the Lincoln Square Village in downtown Urbana.
Architect Gary Olsen's Metro Centre proposal will get its first review by the Urbana City Council on Monday night. The council will meet at 7 p.m. at the Urbana City Building, 400 S. Vine St., one block south of the proposed development.
No council action is expected Monday regarding the project, Urbana Community Development Director Libby Tyler said.
"But I think what (Olsen) would like to hear is that he can represent an interest in the proposal," Tyler said.
Olsen was unavailable for comment Friday, and Tyler said he was revising and updating details of the project, including its price and the amount of parking to be included.
The development would include underground parking, she said.
Early estimates pegged construction costs at between $14 million and $16 million.
If the project is undertaken in the next few years, it would serve as a unique half-century bookend with the Lincoln Square development on the west side of Vine Street. Construction of Lincoln Square, once a thriving shopping mall, began nearly 50 years ago — in June 1963 — and the mall opened in September 1964.
"This would be a very significant project," Tyler said. "It's a beautiful design and we're quite excited about it."
Urbana officials have hoped for years to redevelop the property, now occupied by a Goodyear shop and parking lots. Earlier this year, the city council completed the purchase of the last available property on the square block, bringing the city's land acquisition costs to $950,000 since 2008.
After sending out requests for proposals earlier this year, Urbana received only one in return: Olsen's.
"It's exactly what we were looking for in the property," she said.
Metro Centre would include a total of 241,083 square feet in two separate buildings, Tyler said. The building facing Vine Street would be six stories tall and would include a first floor of commercial space, three floors of office space and the top two floors of residences.
A second, smaller building on the east side, facing Urbana Avenue, would consist of eight two-story "Chicago-style" townhouses with walled-in courtyards.
Some financial assistance for Metro Centre would be available from the city, Tyler said, because the development is within the city's tax increment finance district.
Also at Monday's meeting, council members will be asked to accept the final design plan for improvements and landscaping along the Boneyard Creek from Griggs Street to North Broadway Avenue near downtown Urbana. Work on the project, which is estimated to cost $8.2 million, could begin as early as the spring of 2012 and be completed in the fall of 2014.
Council members also will be asked to approve a two-year contract with firefighters, to extend the Build Urbana tax rebate program for another year, and to place on the March 20 primary election ballot a referendum question regarding the purchase of aggregated electricity for residences and small commercial customers. A consultant told the council last month that consumers could save 8 percent to 15 percent with the purchase of bundled power. Under the program, all eligible consumers would be included in the program unless they specifically opted out.

Google has successfully argued that its search results are analogous to a newspaper editor’s decisions about what op-eds to run. They aren’t, though
There’s no doubt about it: the internet giants are on Congress’s radar. Despite intensive lobbying efforts by these companies, both individually and through their collective trade association, legislation imposing new restrictions on how they operate seems increasingly likely. “You’ve created these platforms. And now they’re being misused,” Senator Dianne Feinstein told the general counsels of Facebook, Google, and Twitter in a recent hearing. “And you have to be the ones to do something about it. Or we will.”
That hearing was directed at Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign, but the companies are under scrutiny for a host of other reasons as well. One is the ways their own platforms shape and alter the flow of information, as when a company like Google demotes or delists competitors’ sites like Yelp! while bumping up its own Zagat-infused local offerings.

THE FEDERAL CAPITAL PIONEER – CANBERRA’S FIRST NEWSPAPER
The first newspaper published specifically for the ACT (then the Federal Territory) was, on 3 December 1924, the self proclaimed “unpretentious” Federal Capital Pioneer.
Printed by the already established Queanbeyan Advocate printer, A. M Fallick and Sons, the Pioneer’s editor was Alexander Kenneth Murray of Sturtville, Eastlake.
Murray was no relation as far as I can tell of the famous Sir Terence Murray, former owner of what is now Government House in Canberra, as well as most of the rest of this area. Sir Terence was the son of Captain Murray, the first known European to explore Port Phillip, Victoria. Nor can I find a link to the bus company.
Murray had to advise his myriad readers to take care not to address communications to Sturtville, Canberra, albeit the correct address, because the missive would be first taken to the Acton Post Office, adding a day before he would receive their precious thoughts.
The editor promised a “bright, breezy and seasonable” Christmas number. We will check the validity of the claim in due course.
Appropriately enough, the political capital’s Pioneer kicked off with support for the assertion of the new Prime Minister, Captain Stanley Bruce, that he would govern for all Australians.
Similarly appropriate are featuring the apparent visionary brilliance of the then no-longer Prime Minister, W.M.Hughes, MHR; and a clarion call to “somnolent politicians” not to overlook the spreading of the subtle propaganda of the Communist Party (respectfully featuring capitals, before less respectfully identifying their views as “claptrap”).
The unpretentiousness goal was shaken a bit by “Billy” Hughes’ prediction that “Australians will speak of the ‘Pioneer’ as do the Americans of the first paper printed in Washington.” Further undermining unpretention was Billy’s assertion that the Pioneer was “ the leader of the vanguard, the banner-bearer of the new order of things.” The Pioneer repaid the favour with what any reader would term ingratiating fervour, but which we were assured was “not fulsome flattery, nor a eulogium”, just facts.
Like all good parochial journals, the Pioneer sought to educate the readership as to the state of their federal territory.
The Territory was then, and has been until the contemporary Strathnairn foray into State territory, 940 sqm in size and already had about 3000, probably largely unwilling, inhabitants.
Striking was the information that the five miles of the Main Sewer was almost completed – it not being clear if it was in use, albeit not completed. The soon to be ‘bush capital’ already featured 1.5 million trees planted. The soon-to-be famous Cotter Weir was already containing 380,000,000 gallons, and allowing an average flow of 70m gallons. Those impressed by the stated fact that there was 6 miles of 3ft 6in gauge railway, will be further pleased to know, mirroring the incompetence found nationwide, there was also 6 1/2 miles of 4ft 8 1/2 inch gauge.
John Gale, then a 94 year old Queanbeyan journalist of great repute, was acknowledged as the “Father of Canberra, the Federal Capital”, in recognition of his pivotal publication supporting the eventual site of Canberra over the then favourite, Dalgety. Those who have been to Dalgety, especially on windy winter’s day, and with all due respect to the many lovely people who do choose to live there, will be forever thankful. The brilliant description of Canberra’s wind in the wonderful Federal Capital Commission’s April 1926 publication “Canberra. General Notes for the Information of Public Servants”, which was aimed at enticing people to move here, was “the prevailing wind, which in winter is westerly – being snow-laden – is shrewdly searching.” In my experience, the wind in Dalgety doesn’t bother with the shrewd bit.
The first call for government action by the Pioneer, apart from waking up to deal with the insidious spread of communism, is to replace the bland names of the uninformed American designers, which “absurdities…disfigure” the map of the future national capital, with the names of the (European) men who explored and opened up the country.
Notable, because I have just bought a painting of it by a local Canberra artist, is the reference to the Australian Christmas Bells, the Blandfordia, which was the name given by Marion Mahony Griffin to what is now Forrest and, ironically, Manuka – the Pioneer would have blanched no doubt at replacing an Australian plant with a New Zealand tree.
Billy’s hope that the Pioneer would live a long life didn’t eventuate, it being wound up just a few years later, not saved by a change in name to the Federal Capital Pioneer Magazine.
The likely disappointment for those desiring a long life for the Pioneer was perhaps foreshadowed by those awaiting the “bright, breezy and seasonable” Christmas number – not only were those epithets inappropriate, so was the term “Christmas number”. It was 1 January before the next edition appeared, adding a call for a cemetery to those ongoing pleas to destroy communism before it ate all our children. More on 1925 publications in another article.

Ashleigh Hunter is pictured smiling on Christmas Day before she was struck down with meningococcal two days later
Ms Hunter, from Geraldton near Perth, woke up on December 27 feeling sick and thought she had a cold
She was taken to Royal Perth Hospital but died a few hours later.
Ms Hunter's heartbroken parents said they never thought their family would be devastated by the deadly disease.
Ms Hunter's boyfriend (left) got her cold and flu tablets, but the young woman quickly declined
'There was nothing to indicate that she was at risk of imminent death,' her mother told 7 News.
'We were most worried about her being on the road; we didn't think about things like meningococcal.'
'Don't think this may not happen to you,' Ashleigh's father said.
'There was nothing to indicate that she was at risk of imminent death,' her mother said
Ms Hunter's parents described her as a vibrant and generous person who wanted to make a difference.
WHAT IS MENINGOCOCCAL?
Meningococcal disease is an acute bacterial infection that can cause death within hours if not recognised and treated in time.
In Australia there are 5 main strains of the disease, all of which now have vaccinations available from your doctor.
The most prevalent strains are Meningococcal disease B and W serogroups.
Although the majority of victims will recover fully, 10 per cnt of those infected will die, and around 20 per cent will have permanent disabilities - ranging from learning difficulties, sight and hearing problems, to liver and kidney failure, loss of fingers, toes and limbs and scarring caused by skin grafts.
One of the reasons meningococcal disease is hard to identify is that it can appear in several different forms, depending on which part of the body the bacteria invade: meningitis (affecting the brain and spinal cord) or septicaemia (affecting the blood), or a combination of both.
Symptoms include: Fever, loss of appetite, leg pain, unusual skin colour, extreme tiredness, vomiting and diarrhoa, convulsions, fits or twitching, re-purple rash

Subject: I have found a CD that I think you would enjoy

WHAT A TREMENDOUS VOICE................
Philip Scott | U.S.A. | 06/19/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I have been a fan of Matt Monro since he recorded "From Russia With Love". What a great voice he has. It is truly a shame that he died at such an early age. This cd is one of the best of all cds. He really has a great delivery on his songs. The material that he uses is out of sight. I have always thought of Matt was a cross between Frank Sinatra and Steve Lawrence. Anyway i think anyone who loves the sound of a great crooner should buy this cd. It will not disappoint."
An exquisite, unique voice
Alejandra Vernon | Long Beach, California | 07/02/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Those of us who have been Matt Monro fans for decades know his voice was a one-of-a-kind sound, recognizable after a couple of notes, and not to be compared with any other singer. There is also a purity to his interpretations that has seldom been equaled; it is the song that is emphasized, not the singer, with few flourishes in the phrasing or deviation from what is on the sheet of music.
The velvety quality of his voice, with its hint of smokiness, is intoxicating, and one of my favorite attributes of a Matt Monro song is his flawless enunciation; other virtues are superb breath control and the sincerity of his delivery. He was able to convey deep emotion, and still keep his simple style of performing a song.The compositions in this collection are fabulous, and include perfect renditions of many of my most loved melodies, like "Autumn Leaves", "Ebb Tide", "September Song", and one of the best soundtrack songs ever written and one that was sung by Monro in the film, the John Barry/Lionel Bart "From Russia With Love".
Other standout performances in this CD of mostly mellow ballads include "Time After Time" (Styne/Cahn), and "Laura" (Raskin/Mercer).
The foldout insert has some excellent liner notes by Joseph Laredo, giving a nice bio of Monro (1930-1985), from his birth and difficult youth in the East End of London, to his association with George Martin, and a rundown of what songs were to find their place on the charts, in the U.S. and Britain.These recordings were made between 1961 and 1966, with most of the arrangements done by Johnnie Spence, who also conducts the orchestra, and are lovely and lush. The sound is good, and total playing time is 53'11.
I have always felt Monro was one of the most underrated singers of the 20th century, and I hope compilations like this will continue to find him new fans, and that his musical legacy will live on, for as long a people appreciate the beauty of an exquisite voice, and the artistry that was exemplified in Matt Monro."
I Thought That Was Sinatra!
Christopher Dudley | Laurel, MD USA | 01/28/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"That's what I said when I heard just about every track on here. I'd never heard of Matt Monro, so when I went looking for a particular song which I had thought was Frank Sinatra ("Real Live Girl"), Matt Monro's name kept turning up. So I listened to the wav file and lo and behold, that was the version I was looking for. According to the liner notes, his similarity to Sinatra was what helped launch his career, as Peter Sellers wanted a Sinatra imitator for a record he was making. Monro is not a ripoff artist, though, because even though his voice sounds similar, he still uses vocal tricks and signatures that make him his own voice.
These recordings are excellent renditions of the standards, plus a few songs I hadn't heard anywhere else. The sound quality is excellent. The liner notes have some biographical information about Matt Monro. There are some great ballroom dance songs to be found on here, and some beautiful ballads. What else do you really need to know?

The Drake and Eminem beef that never really started was put to rest once and for all Tuesday, as the two shared the stage at Drake's Summer Sixteen show in Detroit last night. The rumors of the beef began early this month, when Ebro Darden said he told Drake that Em may be cooking up a diss for the Toronto rapper, with Drake responding that he had something ready if that were truly the case.
But instead of going back and forth as promised, Drake and Eminem joined forces for a performance of "Forever" in Detroit, all while Drake sang Eminem's praises to hype up the crowd.
For those still hungry for juicy, meaty beef, well, you'll have to settle for Joe Budden instead. Budden fired off some tweets criticizing Drake and Em for coming together, but they've since been deleted. In the meantime, we'll wait to see who Drake brings out at his next show as he Taylor Swifts his way through the summer.

The FAA recently published Order 7930.2S, Change 2, “Notices to Air Missions (NOTAM),” which took effect December 2. Yes, you read that correctly: This change also includes a modification to “the acronym NOTAM from Notice to Airmen to the more applicable term Notice to Air Missions,” per the FAA.
The name change complies with the Federal Women’s Program
, which suggests that the term notice to air missions is “inclusive of all aviators and missions.” The name change also pertains to the flight of small drones and uncrewed free balloons.
Other revisions include:
- Changes that bring FAA terminology in line with the International Civil Aviation Organization.
- Additional detail to describe the operation of runway alignment lights to replace the single term “unserviceable.”
- Removal of the braking action report of “good” as notam criteria.
- Same treatment of ASOS and AWOS automated weather stations in notams.
- Renaming of Las Vegas’ McCarran International Airport to Harry Reid International Airport.

Have you ever wondered about your pet’s feeling towards you? What does your dog want when he looks at you with his wide eyes or what does your cat want to tell you when it sit next to you and lick your hand as it meowing ?
The understanding of animals around them and what goes on in their mind is what the animal behavior or ethology has tried to understand; a science that began in the twenty-first century and developed rapidly because of mankind’s urgent desire to discover the organisms that live with us on this planet, About themselves. Animal behaviorists believe that human understanding of the nature of animal behavior and the purpose of their behavior with the external environment may provide a clear explanation of some innate human behavior as well. The animal is the first natural teacher of humans, because they lived on Earth millions of years ago.
we will try to give you a background on the psychological and visual nature of animals that we may deal with in our daily lives.
Dog .. You see protection and it sees you safety net
Dogs are one of the first animals to be mastered by humans. This is due to the urge within the dog to help humans and to serve man. One of the most controversial issues about this animal is whether it is able to understand the language or not. Is it capable of using bark and other sounds Along with the movements of his enthusiastic tail and physical condition; to express himself as a kind of language for dogs?
In the beginning it was clear that the dog can understand the psychological state of the owner talking to him through the tone of his voice and features of his face, such as the tone of pampering or reprimand; as an instinctive reaction moves the dog’s body according to the understanding of the psyche of the owner, if the tone of his friend happy he will move his tail enthusiastically and jump, while The scornful tone and the scruffy face make him look at the ground in shame, but later he knew that the dog had more cognitive abilities than that.
In his studies since 1990, the doctor of psychology and neurology Stanley Korny has been keenly interested in dogs. His study has shown that the ability of the dog is greater than the psychological state of its owner, but it has the ability to save between 100 words and 250 words according to its intelligence. The study revealed that the dog perceives the world around him like a child who is two or three years old.
We all saw a child running towards the door of the house when he realized that his father was ringing the bell, shouting loudly. My father came home and repeated it a lot. Did you know that the attitude of the dog when the owner returns is exactly the same as the child’s position?
In a study at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, the researchers were interested in answering an important question: if the dog is a two-year-old child, and most dog breeders treat him as a small family member, does the dog see his father as his father? The answer was yes! Your dog thinks you are his father / mother! This is not a metaphor for how much you love him, but that phrase is literally real.
The researchers came to this conclusion after several tests, the most important of which was a test called “safety net,” a term that describes the way the child looks at his parents when he faces a new environment or a stressful situation that he feels tense and rushed to his parents to seek protection. When the researchers put the dog in the same The psychological state of their reactions was similar to the reactions of children exactly, such as the first day in school for the child, or to introduce new games for the dog.
While parents are less motivated to do something because their father or mother is not here to encourage or dissuade them, the dog wants psychological support from you exactly as your child wants, and while you see the dog as a source of protection or Guard, he sees his safety net and you are always encouraged.
What is interesting is that even though the dog considers himself to be a member of the family, he also has to recognize the difference between man and animal, so the way to play with his dogs is different from playing with humans. He understands the difference between them and understands what to do and what It should be avoided when playing with the human, and this makes us – the owners of dogs – the chosen alternative family of the dog, he sees you as his father, but he does not look at you as a dog too.
Do you want to know what your shape is for your spoiled dog?
Psychological perception of the outside world in dogs. It was not only the nature of the animals that darsi worked. There is also the visual vision of the dog. Did you ask yourself how a dog sees you with his eyes? Do you see black and white as some have imagined for a long time? The answer is no. In fact the ability of visual dogs is very similar with human sight but with some differences in color.
There is a website where you can know exactly how your dog sees you, and this site gives you the opportunity to upload any image on this site and it converts it to you for another picture showing how the dog sees that picture, you can upload your picture on this site and see if you are handsome enough in the eyes Your dog or not?
What is this big naive cat?
Unlike dogs, cats are not aware of the difference between them and humans. John Bradshaw, an expert in cat behavior at Bristol University, has confirmed that the cat sees its owner like a big cat, so cats do with each other like physical contact, They are the same acts that cats do with each other, but for your cat, you are always a little naïve; because you do not act like cats, in her mind you always think there is something wrong with you and repeat to herself, “What is this big naive cat?”
catBut cats are not completely “stupid”. They can differentiate between the personalities of the objects around them, so you may find them dealing with someone differently. For example, if a family member usually wakes up early, you will realize that this is the person who jumps on his bed. Early morning to wake him up to give her food.
John explained in an interview with National Geographic that there is a common misconception about cats: that they are relaxed all the time and are not interested in anything, but this is not true – explains John – she is under great psychological pressure because of lack of social contact with small cats that resemble her, They live with a large cat who does not understand or understand the existence of cats from the ground, and some physical diseases that attack the cat such as dermatitis and cystitis; it became clear that these problems due to stress coupled with the association of inflammation of the bladder wall with hormones of tension in the blood.
John, therefore, recommends that cats stop injecting drugs and chemicals into the body of their cat, preferably looking for a permanent friend or child. They will make social contact with these cats uninterrupted. It develops to bring another cat in the house to live with your cat. The cats do not accept intruders, they can interact with a guest, but they do not accept a new resident.
Learn about the distinctive cat sight!
The passion for cats behind running lights, such as laser pens, is not only due to their original nature of hunting or the desire to play. It has to do with how the cat perceives the world through its eyesight. The cat has a wider view of humans and can see the surrounding Better than human.
This is in addition to its strong visibility at night and therefore the lighting of the laser pen is more bright for her than humans, perhaps because cats belong to the night objects, which increase activity after midnight to dawn; and at this time is the distinctive sight is the weapon in the smooth movement at home , And the oval shape of this weapon – the eye of the cat – is one of the most important reasons for its broad vision.
But this strong sight of cats does not give her a bright view of the world; the dot sees the world after her eyes are blue and gray; her vision is like seeing dogs but with less colors.
Fish is not as boring as some imagine!
For a very long time, animal behaviorists have thought that fish is not the ideal spoiled animal, it is difficult for the owner to interact with it, it seems cool and does not distinguish its owner from the ground, but in 2016 it changed.
In a study published by the network «CNN» under the supervision of the University of Oxford; I explained that fish can distinguish the faces of humans, and can recognize the teacher and eye him from among strangers, the result called researchers in the study of large discovery, Between face and post this requires as a certain cognition not known about the fish to enjoy.
Animals with narrow perception can not distinguish between human beings. They see all faces as abstract features; eyes, nose and mouth, but to distinguish the formal differences that give each person his own appearance; they show a broad and distinctive perception, but the study confirmed that those results do not Apply to some fish that have no vision of origin.
«Nemo» see the colors of what you do not see
The world of the sea is full of bright colors; it drives the sea lover to dive and watch it, but if you dive into the sea and meet the tumbler that we have known as “nemo” for the movie finding nemo, make sure that you enjoy it more than you do; Colors that are difficult for your human eye to see.
In a study by a team of sensory neurosurgeons under the Queensland Institute of Neuroscience, they proved that there is more than one type of fish with a strong visual ability to color, asserting that these fish see colors not seen by humans, and next to the tumbler fish; The Goldfish, which is one of the most popular species of fish entering households and human beings in a small aquarium as a pet.
Unlike the fish .. Turtle is already boring!
If the turtle does not have the ability to know enough to understand the feelings of pampering and intimacy, and any contact between them and the person who raises them; It is an unpleasant contact on her part, especially if this contact on her stone back, some people think that the movement of her feet during the massage of her back express happiness, but those kicks tell you to stop touching and leave it alone.
The other thing that may fool the turtle breeders is some of the friendliness that grows between the turtle and the breeder especially at the time of feeding. Unfortunately, let me tell you that it does not respond to you; it responds to food only, and you have realized its limited awareness and linked you to a policeman with food and nutrition and if given any kind of courting That these feelings belong to food does not concern you.
The visual vision of turtles is not very different from human vision; only in one factor, which is the tyranny of red on the scene you see, and dye it sometimes
Horses .. feel you!
Do you have problems satisfying your favorite horse? If the answer is yes, all you have to do is look at his face and smile more than once, as if you are telling him that you are satisfied with him. The horse can distinguish the expressions of the human face and then start with its psychological state, it may be tense and not smooth
In a study conducted at the University of Sussex in Britain, the study’s psychologists discovered that if a horse looks at the person and finds anger on his face, his heartbeat begins to increase and then turns his face away from the angry human face and sees him with his left eye only. The dog, when he realizes that his owner is angry, has been interpreted by Dr. Amy Smith, a study scientist, as saying that animals using her left eye in the face of anger are trying to calm herself down and analyze angry feelings and why.
The study confirmed that the horses are aware of their cognitive strength, because they can not distinguish these feelings and positive and negative energy only on human beings, but also in photographs and video clips. Therefore, if you are a horse lover, you have to deal with him as a godly dog. He understands you and feels you during your stress or anger, and he needs to feel your true love for him, so that his distraction is an enjoyable journey for you.

Watching this afternoon’s show, one of the first things to come to mind was the line from the nursery rhyme, “Pretty little maids all in a row.” We’ve become so accustomed to Anderson’s unisex collections that seeing a decidedly feminine collection with every look topped by a kerchief was almost a bit shocking. Granted, this is a good kind of surprise. One can much more easily imagine wearing these pieces than was possible with last season’s collection, for example.
Anderson says that he was going for a more bohemian approach this season and to that end, he was largely successful. Along the way, he also tosses in a little bit of Little House on the Prarie and those awful poofy sleeves from the 80s (which he really should give up), and even a slight hint of a Victorian aesthetic in his shirt dresses. There really is a lot to this ambitious collection, to the extent that one has to wonder just how much will actually make it into production.
Some of the better touches are in the details and accessories. Crocheted lace shoulder pieces are especially precious. Combine those with tall boots and scalloped edges and one might get a sense of nostalgia running through the obvious bohemian touches. Only the opera gloves seemed a bit out of touch.
Giving clothes a sense of handcraft seems to be on trend for London this season and the aesthetic is going over well with audiences. Whether this enthusiasm continues into next spring may depend more on fiscal attitudes once Brexit takes effect than actually reflecting the clothes. Anderson is fortunate, though, since his brand is part of the LVMH group, headquartered in Paris, he might be a bit immune to some of the potential fallout.
Here are a few samples from the collection.
One interesting element that occurs not only here but in several of the collections we’ve seen already in London are the occasional pops of bright pink in an otherwise darkly hued palette. Anderson also tosses in a pale version of the yellow that seems to be this season’s must-have color. One might also wish to take note of the sneakers in the last few looks that are the result of a special collaboration between Anderson and Converse.
At a time when designers are looking to hedge their bets against fiscal uncertainty in the next yet, Anderson seems to have made a safe choice without actually sacrificing anything in the creative arena. This is a significantly large collection and the more that makes it onto store shelves the better.

The crew, which is the first to launch into space since 2016, will begin what is expected to be a decade-long Chinese presence in Earth’s orbit
There are soon to be two Space Stations where astronauts live outside of the Earth’s orbit.
On a clear, sunny morning on Thursday in the country’s Gobi Desert, China launched three of their astronauts to rendezvous with the nation’s nascent space station.
They waved to the onlooking cameras in their capsule as their trip outside of Earth’s atmosphere began. Twenty-one minutes into the mission, the director of the launch centre, Zhang Zhifen, announced that the mission was “a complete success.”
If all now goes according to the plan, the astronauts will rendezvous with China’s nascent space station later in the day, to begin what is planned to be a continuous Chinese presence within Earth’s orbit for at least the next ten years.
This comes after Beijing has accused the United States of playing politics and shirking its responsibility by calling for a new investigation into the true origins of the COVID-19 pandemic that was first detected in China in late 2019.
The Chinese space station, named Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace in English, joins the International Space Station in orbit, the project that was led by both the United States and Russia that has been steadily occupied for over two decades.
In China, the construction of the nation’s space station has been treated with unusually public fanfare, which is a reflection of growing confidence from the country’s leadership in its space missions, which have achieved a number of major successes within recent months.
The launch of the Chinese space station comes at a time when both Russia and the United States are in dispute over the future of the International Space Station, and as China and Russia are growing closer in space cooperation.
The astronauts soared into space aboard the Shenzhou-12 shuttle, a spacecraft that will be docking to the two modules that were launched earlier. It will effectively end up becoming another piece of the Tiangong space station, which is orbiting 242 miles, or 390 kilometres, above the planet. (The International Space Station is slightly higher up at 248 miles from Earth.)
The Shenzhou, which was modelled on the Soviet-era Soyuz spacecraft, but much larger, consists of three modules, which includes a re-entry craft that will bring the astronauts back to Earth after the mission. In addition to taking up the crew, it is also carrying basic supplies for the long-term stay, including a total of 120 different meals with “balanced nutrition, rich variety, good flavour and a long shelf life,” according to Ji Qiming, who is an assistant to the director of the China Manned Space Agency.
This comes after China is set to report first population decline within the country since records began in 1949 despite the relaxation of the nation’s strict family planning policies, which was meant to reverse the falling birth rate of the most populous country in the world.
A related spacecraft, the Shenzhou-5, carried the first Chinese astronaut into space back in 2003, making China the only country besides the United States and the Soviet Union as well as its successor, Russia, to independently achieve the feat. China has since carried out a further five crewed flights into orbit, the last in 2016.

The chief's daughter
Polistra is reading p. 291 of the WPA Guide to Oklahoma:Right from Pawhuska on an unimproved dirt road is the CHIEF SAUCY CHIEF HOMESTEAD.
Nellie, the daughter of the chief, was the first Osage to be given Christian burial. She contracted pneumonia in 1885 at the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania and was sent home, where she died. Major Laban J. Miles, the Osage Agent at that time, persuaded her parents to conduct the Christian rites rather than their customary procedure of burying the dead in a sitting posture on the summit of a hill. However, the Indians kept their own mourning customs, the chief wearing only a white sheet, moccasins and breechclout for a three-and-a-half-month period, despite the snow-covered ground. In preparation for the three-day dance which was to end the mourning observance, the funeral party rode out solemnly to capture the scalp of a town merchant who had ingratiatingly decided to submit himself to a mock scalping; he allowed the Indians to cut off his forelock minus the traditional accompaniment of skin. Major Miles was accorded the honor of leading the group, much to the amazement of Pawhuska citizens who saw him riding into town holding the scalp-pole with the hair flying from its top. After Saucy Chief had been bathed and dressed in warm blankets, the dance began.
Nellie's death had been properly observed, and her spirit sent on its journey with the blessing of both the white and red man's ritual.

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago... I decided that it was time to pursue a career that made me happy. I dreamed of finding a career that I enjoyed while doing something that I loved. I knew I needed a creative outlet, but I wasn't sure where I wanted my career to go until I decorated my first cake back in 2011. Now, I'm practically obsessed with the artistry of the industry! I started out baking and decorating from my home almost as soon as the bug hit me and we finally had the chance to open up our little shop in 2016.
My biggest support has been my husband, JD, who has been my muse for nearly 20 years. He grew up here in Hurst, graduated from L.D.Bell High School, and most of his family still lives right down the road from the bakery. So, when we found this location, you can imagine how thrilled we were to set up in our family's home town!
Now that we're empty nesters, we spend most of our time either at the bakery or hanging out with our dogs in our favorite place - our own backyard. You can usually find us baking together in the wee hours of the morning up at the shop.
HoneyLove is owned by the Foster family. We carry out every project professionally and honestly whether we're baking cookies or wedding cakes, and it's important to us that you have the best experience when planning for your special event, big or small.

Jessica was wonderfu . My cat seemed fine while we were on vacation
Becky and her amazing team took care of our cat Mama while we were on vacation for two weeks.

I would highly recommend Paws Around Motown, and will continue to use their services in the future.
Best groomer ever! Jesse expertly,professionally and gently groomed my 17 year old rescue mixed breed dog,Barnaby.

She is an expert and gave me professional advice on care for my dog's skin and coat. My dog was calm and comfortable during the entire grooming process. Barnaby and I are so glad to have met Jesse as our groomer and look forward to seeing her again!

I have used Lisa several times now. I will continue to use CLPS every time I have to leave Sky at home alone for an extended period. Terri Dorsey and her Poodle, Sky

Guttate psoriasis is a skin condition in which small, red, scaly teardrop-shaped spots with a silvery scale appear on the arms, legs, and middle of the body. Guttate means "drop" in Latin.
Guttate psoriasis is a type of psoriasis. It is usually seen in persons younger than 30. The condition often develops suddenly. It usually appears after an infection, most notably strep throat caused by group A strep. Guttate psoriasis is not contagious. This means it cannot spread to other people.
Psoriasis seems to be passed down through families. Doctors think it probably occurs when the body's immune system mistakes healthy cells for harmful substances.
In addition to strep throat, the following may trigger an attack of guttate psoriasis:
Psoriasis may be severe in persons who have a weakened immune system. This may include persons who have:

Tests to confirm the diagnosis may include:
Goal of treatment is to control your symptoms and prevent secondary infections.
If you have a current or recent infection, your doctor may give you antibiotics.
Mild cases of guttate psoriasis are usually treated at home. Your doctor may recommend any of the following:
People with very severe guttate psoriasis may receive medicines to suppress the body's immune response. These medicines include cyclosporine and methotrexate. A newer group of medicines called biologics that alter parts of the immune system may also be used.
Your doctor may suggest phototherapy. This is a medical procedure in which your skin is carefully exposed to ultraviolet light. Phototherapy may be given alone or after you take a medicine that makes the skin sensitive to light.
Guttate psoriasis may clear completely following treatment. Sometimes, it may become a chronic (lifelong) condition, or worsen to the more common plaque-type psoriasis.
Untreated, this condition may result in:

Girls born in 2000 are aspiring to do jobs that are paid 31 per cent lower than males, according to new LSE research. Boys born in 2000, on the other hand, have higher aspirations than previous male generations in terms of income, to the point where the gender pay gap could actually become larger than it is at present if these aspirations are fulfilled.
The study concludes that a persistent lack of women in highly paid jobs in areas such as science, technology, engineering, finance and politics is due to girls internalising social norms, rather than a result of their innate preferences. This conclusion emerges from the researchers finding that time, rather than childhood factors, is what has altered the tendency for males and females to choose different types of jobs. Social movements or campaigns are essential to encourage girls to aim higher, it suggests.
The researchers’ analysis of occupational sorting for children born in 1958, 1970 and 2000 found that over time increasing numbers of women pursue traditional male jobs, such as law, accountancy and pharmacy, but that in jobs with the highest share of males (over 80 per cent), there has been no change in the 60 years. These jobs are often the “golden pathway” to powerful “C suite positions”, such as CEO and COO roles, the paper says.
Boys’ current aspirations, from those born in 2000, are increasingly geared towards jobs with “significantly higher levels of competitiveness and larger incomes” compared to previous generations and their current female peers, resulting in the possibility that the gender pay gap could actually become larger than it is at present. The paper acknowledges, however, that not all boys will achieve their ambitions. This raises a big question of why males are failing to opt in increasing numbers for traditionally female occupations such as social work, nursing and primary school teaching. This underlines the asymmetric gender distribution.
The paper's author, Dr Grace Lordan of LSE’s Psychological and Behavioural Science Department, said: “More and more we actively encourage our girls to pursue occupations that are currently dominated by males. However, boys are rarely encouraged to pursue occupations where females have had higher shares. The asymmetry of the gender revolution needs to be considered. This becomes more important given that we expect jobs that are traditionally female to expand over the next decades – for example, the nursing and caring professions.”
The paper analysed the career paths and aspirations of 53,000 children born in 1958, 1970 and 2000, from both average and high ability groups.
It found that a female born in 1958 chooses an occupation where the share of males are 45 per cent lower on average as compared to their male peers. This compares to 41 per cent for females born in 1970, and 34 per cent for females born in 2000.
There is no difference in the probability that females born in 1958 or 1970 will choose a job that has a share of males of 80 per cent of higher as compared to their male peers. For females born in 2000, females are 46 per cent less likely to choose occupations with the highest share of males as compared to comparable males.
The paper says: “It may be tempting to conclude that the flatness in the gender gap in the tendency to sort into occupations with the highest share of males, particularly for children with the highest academic ability, reflects innate preferences. However, we note that over time both genders have significantly changed their tendency to sort into occupations that are high on people, brains and competitiveness content. Some of this will be determined by labour markets…but we also view these changes as highly suggestive that preferences are socialised, rather than representing innate differences by gender.”
It concludes: “This study raises questions on what can really be achieved by individuals at a local level, by parents to move the needles on gendered sorting in the absence of a more general societal movement or a tipping phenomenon. For example, if a mother encourages their daughter to be an astrophysicist, but the society she is growing up in sends different messages, the efforts may be lost on the average girl. It is possible that these messages may be dominated by, for example, STEM toys being mainly targeted to boys, the media covering females and males at the height of their careers differently, a child’s schooling experiences varying by their gender and the images society has for its leaders still being male."
The paper's co-author, Dr Warn Lekfuangfu, commented: “Childhood variables remain essential factors in influencing the position the child would end up within her peer group. But our work points to the importance of the role of societal shifts in determining the sorting patterns we have seen over the last number of decades in the UK across the generations, and also those that remain today.”
Dr Lordan added: “With the big ongoing efforts to encourage girls to study STEM subjects, we were surprised there was not more movement by girls towards these careers. It is possible that gender norms downstream have already shaped preferences by the time we meet these girls. Social movements or campaigns are needed to challenge these social norms.
"Also, we expect equality for females, but our analysis has revealed that the traditional male paths are either unchanging, or in the case of income and competitiveness, being aspired to more often by boys born in 2000. Everyone focuses on gender equality with respect to moving females into traditional male roles. Few pay attention to the changing trends – or lack of – for professions of males.”

Do viruses have evolution?
Viruses undergo evolution and natural selection, just like cell-based life, and most of them evolve rapidly.
When two viruses infect a cell at the same time, they may swap genetic material to make new, “mixed” viruses with unique properties.
For example, flu strains can arise this way..
Why do RNA viruses mutate faster than DNA?
RNA viruses readily adapt to changing environmental conditions. Therefore, the high mutation rate of RNA viruses compared with DNA organisms is responsible for their enormous adaptive capacity.
Why do viruses make you sick?
Viruses make us sick by killing cells or disrupting cell function. Our bodies often respond with fever (heat inactivates many viruses), the secretion of a chemical called interferon (which blocks viruses from reproducing), or by marshaling the immune system’s antibodies and other cells to target the invader.
What role do viruses play in evolution?
Once a virus has infected a cell, it hijacks the cell’s own molecular machinery to copy its genes and churn out viral proteins. … Over millions of years, these viral DNA sequences randomly mutate and change, losing their ability to break free from their host cells.
How long can viruses last?
The life of a virus (technically, viruses are not alive) depends on what type of virus it is, the conditions of the environment it is in, as well as the type of surface it is on. Cold viruses have been shown to survive on indoor surfaces for approximately seven days. Flu viruses, however, are active for only 24 hours.
Are viruses created?
These studies have shown us that viruses do not have a single origin; that is, they did not all arise from one single virus that changed and evolved into all the viruses we know today. Viruses probably have a number of independent origins, almost certainly at different times.
Where did the first virus come from?
Viruses may have arisen from mobile genetic elements that gained the ability to move between cells. They may be descendants of previously free-living organisms that adapted a parasitic replication strategy. Perhaps viruses existed before, and led to the evolution of, cellular life.
Do Viruses Kill?
These are called cytopathic effects. Most virus infections eventually result in the death of the host cell. The causes of death include cell lysis (bursting), alterations to the cell’s surface membrane and apoptosis (cell “suicide”).
Do viruses serve a useful purpose?
Some of the viruses infecting humans are indeed capable of causing severe and often lethal diseases, but other viruses can be manipulated to be beneficial to human health. These viruses offer the potential to cure cancer, correct genetic disorders, or fight pathogenic viral infections.
Do viruses and bacteria evolve?
Viruses did not evolve first, they found. Instead, viruses and bacteria both descended from an ancient cellular life form. But while – like humans – bacteria evolved to become more complex, viruses became simpler. Today, viruses are so small and simple, they can’t even replicate on their own.
What is the oldest virus?
Smallpox and measles viruses are among the oldest that infect humans. Having evolved from viruses that infected other animals, they first appeared in humans in Europe and North Africa thousands of years ago.
What is the largest virus in the world?
MimivirusMimivirus is the largest and most complex virus known.
What kills a virus vs bacteria?
As you might think, bacterial infections are caused by bacteria, and viral infections are caused by viruses. Perhaps the most important distinction between bacteria and viruses is that antibiotic drugs usually kill bacteria, but they aren’t effective against viruses.
Why do viruses mutate quickly?
Viruses tend to mutate rapidly for a number of reasons, including highly unreliable replication of their genetic content and the need to evolve, adapt and compete with the host organism. The rate of mutation varies widely across various types of viruses and has been extensively studied in the past , .
What are 2 diseases caused by viruses?
Viruses cause familiar infectious diseases such as the common cold, flu and warts. They also cause severe illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and COVID-19. Viruses are like hijackers.
Are viruses living?
So were they ever alive? Most biologists say no. Viruses are not made out of cells, they can’t keep themselves in a stable state, they don’t grow, and they can’t make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
Do viruses have DNA?
Most viruses have either RNA or DNA as their genetic material. The nucleic acid may be single- or double-stranded. The entire infectious virus particle, called a virion, consists of the nucleic acid and an outer shell of protein. The simplest viruses contain only enough RNA or DNA to encode four proteins.
How do viruses evolve so quickly?
The major reason that viruses evolve faster than say, mosquitoes or snakes or bed bugs, is because they multiply faster than other organisms. And that means every new individual is an opportunity for new mutations as they make a copy of their genetic material. Many of those mutations have no noticeable effect.

Improvements in the Design of Recuperative Glass Pot Furnaces JSGT_V07_T003-T019
The present paper will deal with such improvements as have taken place since 1917, more particularly with the furnaces which have recently been built in this country to the author's design and patents. Before going into the design of the furnace itself, I should just like to mention briefly a few points not referred to in my previous paper relating to recuperators of the "Hermansen" type. In the author's view, these recuperators possess certain advantages not shared by other systems on the market, for instance, the Radot-Lencauchez type with vertical air channels, and apparently overlooked in the claims made for the same.

With the current rise in prices, choosing even among 4G devices, buyers often give preference to cheap devices. According to IHS Markit, the best-selling mobile phone in the first half of 2019, the iPhone XR for $ 749. This is the most affordable iPhone from the 2018 Apple lineup. The second most popular was the Samsung Galaxy A10, but not the Galaxy S10, which was released in March with a price tag of $ 1,000.
5G admission ticket for $ 1000
The first 5G-enabled smartphones typically cost more than a thousand dollars. So, Samsung Galaxy S10 5G and Note 10 Plus 5G will cost $ 1300. By the way, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 without 5G support sells for $ 200 cheaper, and the gap between the 5G and 4G versions of the Galaxy S10 is $ 400 altogether. The flexible Galaxy Fold with 5G in China is available for $ 2000, and for the US market only comes with a 4G modem for $ 1980.
The situation for other brands is similar. Sprint offers LG V50 ThinQ for $ 1,152, while for OPPO Reno 5G they ask for $ 1,030. The cost of the HUAWEI Mate X, which will be on the shelves next month, is likely to be $ 2600. Of course, with such prices, 5G models will simply be inaccessible to the mass consumer.
Potential hit – Samsung A90 5G
At the IFA 2019, the South Korean corporation announced that since May it has sold about 2 million gadgets with 5G support. By the end of the year, this number should grow to 4 million. In total, from the beginning of 2019, Samsung has sold about 76.3 million smartphones.
It is predicted that before the end of the year, the Galaxy A90, which debuted at the IFA, will sell over two million copies. It costs $ 827 – almost $ 500 less than other 5G devices of the same brand.
In fact, the Galaxy A90 has almost everything that is available to the flagship 5G models. A screen with a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a 48-megapixel camera, support for the Samsung DeX docking station (first in the A line). In October, the mobile phone will appear in Europe. The novelty works on the top Snapdragon 855 chipset, and the X50 5G modem in it is a separate chip. After the advent of more affordable chips, there will be another decrease in the cost of 5G technology. Processor manufacturers have already begun to actively work in this direction.
With faith in the budget Qualcomm
At IFA 2019, Qualcomm announced that it plans to expand its line of chipsets with 5G support by integrating modems in the Snapdragon 6, 7, and 8 series. According to the tech giant, today affiliate brands plan to use these chips in 150 projects, and 12 of them rely on Snapdragon 7- th ruler. Interested companies include: OPPO, realme, Redmi, vivo, Motorola and Nokia.
According to forecasts, the expansion of the Qualcomm family of chipsets with 5G support will make fifth-generation networks available to two billion users. Qualcomm’s goal is to make 5G smartphones comparable in price to 4G devices. Costing no more than $ 800.
Samsung and HUAWEI presented their own 5G solutions at IFA 2019. Samsung Exynos 980 received a 5G modem built into the processor. This reduces the cost of production and improves energy efficiency. The Korean corporation has planned serial production of new chips at the beginning of 2020.
HUAWEI also built a modem in its Kirin 990, which will equip the Mate 30. Its presentation is scheduled for September 19.
Affordable 5G very close
Although the 5G smartphones available on the market today are expensive, there are exceptions. OnePlus 7 Pro 5G will cost $ 840, and for Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G they ask for $ 679, which is even less than the price of many flagship 4G models.
The most affordable devices compatible with fifth-generation networks are offered by Motorola. Moto Z3, Moto Z4 and Moto Z2 Force can be equipped with a special mod that gives support for 5G. For a limited time, a kit from a smartphone and a mod will cost $ 440.
Motorola representatives said that they are trying to minimize the cost of phones in order to offer developing markets a decent range. The brand plans to promote 5G devices, but in today’s situation, “5G for $ 399” is fraught with forced compromises. For example, the rejection of the normal camera and filling.
At IFA 2019, Nokia was also noted, which promised to introduce an “affordable and at the same time premium smartphone” next year.

Despite an excellent rookie season in which he won 15 games with a 3.06 ERA and 169 strikeouts in 173 innings Shelby Miller has been a forgotten man for the Cardinals in the playoffs, as St. Louis shifted him to the bullpen in favor of Joe Kelly/Lance Lynn and has used him just once as a reliever.
Miller’s role seems unlikely to change in the World Series, but the 22-year-old right-hander is trying to stay ready just in case he’s needed for something beyond mop-up work against the Red Sox.
Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports that Miller threw two innings in a simulated game at Busch Stadium yesterday, and afterward manager Mike Matheny said:
The idea for Shelby and the conversation with Shelby from day one is that he could have an expanded role at any point. He needs to stay sharp. … We need Shelby to stay sharp in his mind, because at any point, we might need him to come and fill a number of different roles. He looked good today, and we were excited to see that.
It’s a testament to the Cardinals’ pitching depth that an arm as good and successful as Miller’s hasn’t even been needed in the playoffs, but it’ll be interesting to see how he looks if Matheny is forced into using him in a key spot at some point. Miller’s last start was September 25.
