Republicans aren’t the only ones ready to put roadblocks in the way of President Joe Biden’s new economic relief plan. Democratic members of Congress, led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, are pushing the White House to include massive health care expansion as part of the package.
Eighty House Democrats signed a letter to the president and Vice-President Kamala Harris urging them to include an expansion of Medicare in the American Families Plan, which Biden pitched to the American people Wednesday night.
Some of the provisions the legislators want included in Biden’s plan include the ability for Medicare to negotiate drug prices, lowering the eligibility age to 60 and adding Medicare benefits such as dental, vision and hearing.
The letter cited how the COVID-19 outbreak is the worst health crisis the country has faced in a century, and that expanding Medicare will provide a medical safety net for older Americans, who are among the most vulnerable to the effects of the virus. In particular, they argue that lowering the age people are eligible to join to 60 could prove life-saving for millions of aging Americans who often put off going to the doctor or seeking medical treatment until they reach the current eligibility age of 65.
Sanders said on Wednesday he will “absolutely” pursue Medicare expansion as lawmakers begin crafting legislation around Biden’s plan.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois, said he sees Medicare reforms as a game-changer, and that he doesn’t know why the White House decided against including health care expansion in Biden’s plan. Despite campaigning by Sanders and other Democrats, the president ultimately opted to only propose extra subsidies for Americans who buy their health insurance, a disappointment to many legislators who otherwise support the ambitious agenda.
The battle over Medicare promises to further complicate Biden’s attempt to get his massive spending plan across the finish line. Some Democratic lawmakers believe now is the time to push through these types of major reforms, ahead of the 2022 midterms, which could cost the Democrats their already-slim advantage in Congress.

Boy hurt as bus and industrial vehicle collide in Shawlands
An eight-year-old boy has been injured after the top deck of a bus was pierced by part of an industrial vehicle in the south side of Glasgow.
The boy, who was travelling on the double-decker, was taken to hospital but is not thought to be badly hurt.
The incident happened on Pollokshaws Road, near its junction with Kilmarnock Road, at about 10:00.
It is understood the bus driver has been reported in connection with alleged road traffic offences.
Part of the large industrial vehicle - a road milling machine used for road paving - crashed through the top front window of the bus as the vehicles collided outside the Granary pub in Shawlands.
'Report of a crash'
Police said officers were called to the scene and the road was closed while emergency services dealt with the crash.
A spokeswoman said: "At around 10:00 police received a report of a crash involving a bus and another vehicle on Pollokshaws Road at its junction with Kilmarnock Road in Shawlands.
"A 43-year-old man has been reported to the procurator fiscal in connection with alleged road traffic offences."
A spokesman for bus operator First Glasgow said it was working closely with the emergency services, and had launched a full investigation to establish what happened.
He added: "Our thoughts are with those affected."
Extensive repaving work has been taking place in the Shawlands area.


On Tuesday July 19, 2010, Lindsay Lohan’s jail sentence begins at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California. Though her sentence is for 90 days, sources say she can be expected to serve about 25% of this time.
According to The Daily News, “her new lawyer, Robert Shapiro, has still not convinced the troubled actress that she must surrender to her 90 day sentence.” Her friends have reported she has been living at the Pickford Lofts sober living home where Samantha Ronson and mother Dina have been able to visit her. One source close to Lohan has stated “It’s been a rough weekend. She has not been able to sleep and has barely been eating. All weekend, Lindsay kept crying, chain smoking and chewing her nails.”
We have watched Lindsay Lohan grow up and become a major a film star, and we have watched her decline personally the whole way. We have read about loud screaming arguments with ex girlfriend Samantha Ronson, car chases, Lindsay being thrown out of clubs, uninvited to parties, and fired from jobs. As recently as May of this year she was photographed with “white powder.” According to The Hollywood Gossip, Lindsay says of the image “What!?? That’s a set up that’s so untrue!”
Yet 48% of the people polled in regards to the photograph voted that she belongs in jail. Yes, she does. And yes, she has been sentenced to jail for ninety days.
This is a wonderful thing for Lindsay. While she may not serve her entire sentence, going to jail will be a wake up call for her, as it should be for anyone. While inside jail she won’t have access to parties, she won’t have photographers trailing her everywhere trying to capture every image they can get which casts her in a negative light. Her inpatient rehab is a blessing. If she takes it seriously and continues on as an outpatient, she has a chance to beat drugs once and for all. In fact, Lohan’s jail sentence can be considered a blessing in disguise, giving her a chance to grow as a person, and many wonderful opportunities may open up for her once she has regained control of her life.
While people love a story of a starlet falling into a downward spiral (think Britney Spears), people also love a great comeback. According to Fox News, Hollywood publicist Michael Levine stated “Of course she can come back. But the question is, will producers and the public be bothered with her then?” And the answer is yes, of course they will. Lindsay Lohan’s jail sentence is not the end of her life. It is simply a bump in the road of her life. Hopefully this time next year we will see a barrage of news about how well Lohan is doing, instead of news on about her going to jail.

Compiled by Ray Hagen, Laura Wagner, Steven Tompkins et. al.
This list is a result of more than forty years of compulsive- obsessive data-gathering by the above trio, separately. When our paths crossed a few years ago we combined our lists together.
Finding out who dubbed who in the 70-plus years of sound movies is a fairly daunting task since until relatively recently such information was kept secret by the movie studios who carefully guarded the reputations of their contract players. But in recent years the explosion of books and articles on every aspect of filmmaking has made the task somewhat easier, contradictory as different sources may be. Laura Wagner in particular has spoken to many of these dubbers. To credit every source would be impossible, there've been so many.
Included are not only the singers but credits for "dancers" who couldn't dance, "musicians" who couldn't play, and even a few actors who couldn't talk too good.
What's NOT here, obviously, is data on stars who did their own singing. But some stars sang for themselves in some movies but were dubbed in others. Barbara Stanwyck, for example, "sang" in seven movies but was only dubbed in three of them, so only those three are included here. Also, some stars were only partially dubbed in a film, doing their own singing for some of the songs but not all of them, or even singing parts of songs with only the more demanding passages dubbed. In those cases we've noted that the dubbing is only partial. (But if you don't find a listing here for a specific title you're wondering about, it doesn't necessarily mean the singer wasn't dubbed, it may mean we just don't have the information.)
And finally, there's one legendary dubbing credit you won't find here. For years it's been accepted as gospel that Andy Williams dubbed Lauren Bacall's vocals in "To Have & Have Not." The story has become something of an urban legend, but sorry folks, that was Bacall's own voice. Williams, then an unknown singer doing dubbing work in Hollywood, was hired by director Howard Hawks to record the songs because he couldn't find a female singer with a low enough voice, but when Bacall began singing along with the playback he found that he liked her voice better, so he scrapped Williams' recordings and she did the songs herself. If the story sounded too good to be true ... it was.
This project has always been, and remains, a lifetime work-in- progress. Any additions and/or corrections are most welcome.

Review by Mark Dillen
Nicholas Cull, The Decline and Fall of the United States Information Agency: American Public Diplomacy, 1989-2001, Palgrave MacMillan, 2012, ISBN-13: 978-0230440725, 376 pp., $58.00 hardcover.
Nicholas Cull’s second book on the history of the United States Information Agency (USIA) concludes his years of thorough research into what happened to America’s former foreign public diplomacy entity. In The Cold War and the United States Information Agency (Cambridge, 2008)*, Cull placed USIA squarely in the context of the Cold War, a creation of a U.S. government determined to fight a global threat from the USSR and its propaganda machine. Now, in The Decline and Fall of the United States Information Agency, Cull charts the relatively quick demise of USIA in the last decade of the twentieth century. The welcome new book is slim and small compared to the first; perhaps a reflection of the author’s judgment that what happened to USIA in the 1990s was a rapid denouement to the story of an agency that had already lost its way. Indeed, from today’s vantage point it may seem that, once deprived of its Cold War sense of purpose, USIA was destined to be shuttered. A quick victory lap waving Old Glory as the Hammer and Sickle was lowered from the Kremlin flagpole — what else remained for USIA to do?
But, as Cull makes clear, the argument for USIA was always greater than just the manning of ramparts in the ideological struggle with Communism. “Telling America’s Story to the World,” the slogan etched below the Agency’s nameplate at its onetime headquarters at 1776 Pennsylvania Avenue, proclaimed a larger vision. Throughout its 46-year history, USIA conducted long-term exchange programs (such as the Fulbright educational exchanges) as well as immediate policy advocacy. Its staff in Washington and at embassies around the world promoted U.S. “culture” as well as “information.” Absent the USSR, the United States still needed (perhaps needed even more) to gain the understanding of publics around the world. With the end of the Cold War, there were dozens of countries and newly independent states pleading for Washington to conduct the kinds of cultural and educational exchanges with them that for decades Soviet hegemony had prevented. Individual offices at USIA and individual Public Affairs Officers in the field did excellent work to take advantage of these newly opened doors, but USIA as a whole was hesitant and ineffective. This is a frustrating story that Cull tells very well:
Few at the time praised the agency… US public diplomacy was up against the very market logic that it was selling in Eastern Europe. Its ideologically driven masters believed that increased US public diplomacy would be a short-term phase in Eastern Europe’s march to capitalism, rather than a long-term project to promote mutual understanding. An opportunity to link the USIA to a post-Cold War mission had been missed.
As a result of this thinking, and the post-9/11 emphasis on fortress-like security, several cultural centers and libraries that USIA opened in the early 90s in Central and East European capitals were closed down barely a decade later.
Where USIA was least effective — ironically — was in being its own advocate. The agency responsible for doing PR for the U.S. Government in foreign countries did a lousy job promoting its own interests at home in Washington. By the end of 1999, USIA was closed down and its reduced Washington staff transferred into the State Department, where a new Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs was given oversight for most of them. Field officers specializing in public diplomacy at US embassies reported directly to the State Department’s geographic bureaus. The Voice of America (VOA), nominally part of USIA, was spun off to enjoy the same quasi-independent status as other US Government-sponsored broadcast operations.
There is a debate Cull leaves unfinished about whether these changes were an entirely good idea and whether, if valid, they were properly executed. The plans for what came to be called “consolidation” were born partly from the idea of the Clinton Administration that money could be saved by carrying out USIA’s functions from within the State Department. Whatever one thinks about the quality of public diplomacy carried out under the aegis of the State Department, today there are fewer staff members — Americans and foreign service nationals — doing this work than when USIA was dissolved. The program budgets for educational exchanges remained flat for several years once the State Department took them over, and there was embarrassingly frequent turnover in the politically appointed position of Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs.
The best argument for USIA’s continued existence lies in seeing what was missing when USIA no longer was there. USIA came to an end less than two years before 9/11, and the United States struggled in the succeeding decade to define and fund its public diplomacy efforts. If the argument against USIA was so sound, why wasn’t public diplomacy after USIA’s demise more successful and its transfer to State less rancorous? Was there a bias against public diplomacy itself and not just the entity that conducted it? Cull notes that USIA had a “track record of innovation” in pursuing new approaches to public diplomacy, but that State “smothered” innovation once it took over USIA. Now there are “real indications” that State has “caught up,” says Cull, but he doesn’t tell us what they are. He does, however, acknowledge that there are doubts whether public diplomats have been “given their due within the State Department structure.”
Cull tells the story of USIA’s “decline and fall” with a historian’s care but without a pronounced view on whether USIA deserved to die. He advocates for government public diplomacy itself, particularly the kind that favors dialogue and exchange of views on an individual level.
Cull tries to be sympathetic toward nearly all the protagonists in the struggle over USIA’s future. “No USIA director entered office with better motives than [President George H.W. Bush appointee] Bruce Gelb,” writes Cull, and then notes that, after a turbulent tenure at USIA, “[Gelb] shone in the role of Ambassador to Belgium.” He was succeeded by Henry Catto, “who did much to restore things” after a period of “feudings and shenanigans.” Joe Duffey, a Clinton appointee who became the last USIA Director in 1993, “loved ideas and debate” and was “passionate about international exchanges and international understanding.” He shared with his deputy, Penn Kemble, “a sense of the need to reform the USIA.” After USIA was finally consolidated into the State Department, Evelyn Lieberman, the head of what remained of USG public diplomacy, continued to “work hard to prepare US public diplomacy for the post-Cold War world.”
Yet after all was said and written, Cull concludes that there was “a weakness at the top” of USIA. Indeed, that conclusion is inescapable. As a USIA foreign service officer at that time, I recall how astonished and dismayed I and my FSO colleagues were when Duffey responded to calls from White House staff for budget cuts by offering significantly deeper cuts in budget and personnel that what was requested. While other foreign affairs agencies, such as USAID, were struggling mightily to defend their turf, USIA’s final leaders gave up without much of a fight.
The one turf battle most USIA’s leaders did engage in was over control of VOA. Cull describes incisively the ultimately self-defeating efforts to keep VOA within the agency. Those at the top of USIA believed that having “control” over VOA made USIA a more important player in Washington even though exercising control was not in the interests of USIA or US public diplomacy. For example, as recounted by Cull, when the Tiananmen Square protests developed in China, the VOA Chinese Service became an important source of truthful information for the Chinese people. The U.S. Government, unable to stop the PRC crackdown on dissent, was content to have VOA cover it. Later, however, when the Clinton Administration wanted to improve US-Chinese official relations, VOA’s forthright reporting on human rights in China was unwelcome in Washington, where USIA was expected to keep VOA in line (despite the VOA’s Charter supposedly guaranteeing editorial independence). Efforts to censor VOA hurt the broadcaster’s credibility and deepened the schism between the two major parts of America’s public diplomacy organization. The best way for USG broadcasters to serve the interests of taxpayers at home and audiences abroad is to report truthfully and accurately. Sadly, an aspect of the USIA/VOA dysfunction persists today the mismanagement and neglect of all USG foreign broadcasting by the Broadcast Board of Governors, as detailed in a recent USG inquiry. Cull’s book gives a valuable lesson on the pitfalls that government-funded broadcasting should avoid.
Ultimately, USIA’s demise was not quite the lengthy “decline and fall” suggested by Cull’s title, with barbarians attacking and pillaging (although many an embassy admin officer quickly grabbed the goods — silverware, crystal and china — that PAOs had been supplied with by USIA for their representational work). The end of USIA resembled more a cabal followed by bureaucratic assassination. Despite the laws of inertia and resistance in Washington (how many Federal agencies have actually been eliminated?), USIA was cleanly and definitively ended, thrown overboard by politicos and bureaucrats more concerned about their own agendas than how public diplomacy ought best be conducted.

after BREAST CANCER (ABC) was founded in 2013 by Alicia Vianga. When Alicia was asked to review the official Bra and Breast Prosthesis Guide for a major Toronto hospital, she identified a serious gap in the health care system. There was no program that provided breast prostheses or bras for cancer survivors in Toronto who had no insurance, or were financially challenged.
Alicia knew it was time to start making a difference, and from that, after BREAST CANCER was born. It's been well documented that women undergoing breast cancer treatment face many “out of pocket” expenses that quickly add up. ABC was set up to ensure that women have access to basic needs as well as bras and/or breast prostheses if they can't afford them.
“I do see women come in whom, even after eight years since having a mastectomy, still have socks in their bra because they can't afford to buy breast prosthesis. They don't know where to get the basic support or they're not wearing the proper garment after a mastectomy or lumpectomy surgery. It breaks my heart and that's the reason why I decided to do something about it.”
- Alicia Vianga, after BREAST CANCER Founder & Executive Director
after BREAST CANCER was set up to ensure that women have access to basic needs and to provide mastectomy bras, mastectomy camisoles and breast prostheses to women who are financially unable to afford them. The majority of breast cancer organizations focus on Research, and the Cure for breast cancer. after BREAST CANCER focuses on women who have survived, women who don't have insurance, women who cannot have their basic needs met after a mastectomy or lumpectomy surgery. As the survival rates improve, additional resources that support a woman's Quality of Life (“QOL”) after breast cancer are required to assist women with the various issues that arise during and after treatment.

Imphal: With the confirmation of 14 more males positive for Covid-19 on Saturday, total number of positive cases rose to 157 in Manipur.

Previously, details surfaced in the shooting of FBG Duck, with the mother of the rapper noting that five men were in custody for the shooting of her son. Now, a recently unsealed FBI affidavit stated the men who shot FBG Duck left their location 15 minutes before the shooting took place after allegedly getting a call about where the rapper was located.
The court document then details what went down while the rapper was on the first block of East Oak Street. A Ford Fusion and Chrysler 300 were seen heading to the murder scene via video surveillance. FBG Duck was located on Oak Street, where he reportedly got out of the car to wait in line at a store in an attempt to get a gift for his son.
Both cars showed up to the scene and stopped “just in front of” the rapper’s girlfriend’s car on Oak Street, with numerous people getting out of their cars and opening fire at Duck. The shooters reportedly opened fire at Duck’s girlfriend as well. The rapper’s girlfriend was shot twice in the left wrist, and a person who hid behind the car with Duck during the ordeal was shot three times, leaving them in critical condition.
The affidavit says that the Chrysler 300 was found by Chicago police a day after the shooting, on the 2100 block of Gunderson located in Berwyn. Stay tuned for more updates.

Many people around the world are complaining about chest pain. Chest pain can be caused by reduced blood flow to the heart and this type of chest pain is known as angina or angina pectoris.
You should know that chest pain is not always due to a heart attack. There are many different causes of chest pain. But when you feel chest pain, then you must visit your doctor as soon as possible because he or she will tell if there is any possibility of a heart attack or other problems that are related to the heart. This type of pain should not be taken lightly in any circumstance. When you know that your chest pain is not due to a heart attack, then you can take some of the mentioned home remedies for chest pain. Smoking, coughing, anxiety, stress, gastritis, cold, and acidity are causes that can lead to chest pain. Talk with your doctor before you start using some of the mentioned home remedies for chest pain.
6 Home remedies for chest pain
Oil of oregano
This type of oil is extracted from the oregano herb by steam distillation. It has strong antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties and this is a reason why it is one of the best natural cures for chest pain.
When your chest pain is caused by a cough because of upper respiratory infections, then you can use oil of oregano as your natural treatment. There are many conditions that can lead to this condition such as inhaled pollutants, asthma, allergies, viruses, and bacteria and they can lead to pain and congestion as well as difficulty in breathing, irritated throat, and lungs.
Oil of oregano has terpenes, rosmarinic acid, flavonoids, and carvacrol which are good decongestants and natural antihistamine agents. Antihistamines reduce fluid buildup, as well as swelling related to common allergies and decongestants, and relieve congestion in your respiratory tract. When you will rid of cold and congestion, then in a natural way you will rid of the chest pain too.
You should add three drops of oregano oil to one glass of water. You should drink this natural cure two times per day. You can dilute ten to twelve drops of oregano oil in six teaspoons of carrier oil such as grapeseed, sweet almond, or jojoba oil. You should massage your chest gently with this oil.
You should take a bowl of hot water. You should add one to two drops of oregano oil to the hot water. You should inhale the steam coming out of this to get relief from the pain and congestion. This natural cure is recommended for chest pain which is due to cold and cough. Small doses of oregano oil do not put on the risk but very large doses can cause changes in your cardiovascular system. If you suffer from heart disease, then you should talk with your doctor before you use oil of oregano as your natural treatment.
Licorice root has been used by many traditional medicines to treat many different diseases such as stomach aches, fever, chest pain, diarrhea, heartburn, and cough.
Licorice root has flavonoids and various plant estrogens (phytoestrogens) which are making it one of the best medicinal herbs. It has glycyrrhizin which has excellent therapeutic effects and it can prevent the breakdown of adrenal hormones such as cortisol. These hormones fight off stress and also it is important to have licorice root as your natural treatment because it can help to prevent the loosening of crucial hormones which can alleviate chest pain due to anxiety and stress.
Licorice can also lower the levels of stomach acid and it can help to get a relief from indigestion and heartburn that are causes of chest pain.
Licorice root has healing and soothing properties which can reduce the inflammation and irritation of the respiratory tract . Also, it has expectorant properties which are useful in alleviating chest infections, asthma, and cough which are also causes of chest pain.
You should add one teaspoon of dried licorice root to one to two cups of water and bring it to a boil. You should remove the saucepan from the heat. You should let this home remedy steep for about five minutes. Strain this tea. Have one to two cups of it per day. This natural cure is recommended for chest pain due to cough, heartburn, anxiety, and stress. If you take medicines for diabetes or heart disease, then you need to talk with your doctor before you use licorice root.
Omega – 3 fatty acids
These are essential fats for our bodies because they cannot make on their own. They can prevent coronary heart disease in healthy people and can slow down the progression of this disease in people who already have it. Coronary heart disease is caused by atherosclerosis which can lead to fatty deposits of plaque buildup on the coronary arteries and this is also making it difficult for our heart to get enough nutrients and oxygen. This can result in heart attack and chest pain. A diet that is high in saturated fat can increase triglycerides and cholesterol which can lead to CHD. People who consume Omega – 3 fatty acids have lower chances to get CHD. You should eat fish such as salmon, albacore tuna, sardines, herring, lake trout, and mackerel because they are rich in Omega – 3 fatty acids. Also, you can use fish oil supplements. You can use soy and canola oils, flaxseeds, walnuts, and other nuts because they are rich in Omega – 3 fatty acids. This natural cure is recommended for chest pain due to heart disease.
This juice can be helpful in alleviating cardiovascular disease. It can prevent damage to arterial walls by reducing oxidative stress. It is supporting the synthesis and activity of nitric oxide along with stopping the oxidation of low–density lipoprotein.
You should grind ½ cup of pomegranate seeds using a food processor or a blender. You should extract the juice from the resultant crushed material with the help of a sieve. You should add water to it. Have this natural cure two to three times per day. Also, you can add pomegranate seeds to salads. This natural cure is recommended for chest pain due to heart disease.
Hibiscus is rich in antioxidants, especially flavonoids which can neutralize free radicals and also they will protect your health. These antioxidants reduce fat accumulation in the arteries and also prevent chest pain and heart diseases. It has high amounts of Vitamin C which is making it one of the best natural cures for strengthening the immune system, especially if you are prone to flu and cold that may leave to chest pain. Hibiscus tea can give you relief from sore throat, chest pains, cold, and other common respiratory diseases including bronchitis and pneumonia which are one of the biggest reasons for chest pain. You need a handful of hibiscus flower petals and add them to the water. You will need 1 – ½ cups of water. You should bring the water to a boil and let it simmer for ten to fifteen minutes. You should strain it and drink it. While you have this tea, you can inhale the steam too because in this way the phlegm in your chest will loosen up and you may get relief. This home remedy is recommended for chest pain due to cough. Also, it can help to prevent heart diseases that may give you chest pain. This tea has diuretic effects and it can lower blood pressure. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers should not use it. Also, there are some cases when this tea can cause intoxicating and hallucinatory effects.
This herb has many medicinal properties. It has Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Vitamin A as beta–carotene, riboflavin, niacin, Vitamin B, and Vitamin C. Also it is rich in xanthophyll and chlorophyll. Also, it has protein, fiber, tannins, saponins, amino acids, and phytosterols. All of the mentioned herbs are making it a very effective home remedy for many different diseases.
You should take one teaspoon of dried alfalfa. Pour water over it. Let it infuse for ten minutes. Strain it and drink this home remedy. You should repeat this natural treatment two times per day. You can add alfalfa sprouts to your salads. You can take alfalfa leaves and extract the juice from them. You should have 1/3 cup of this alfalfa juice every day. This natural cure is recommended for chest pain due to acidity, heartburn, and gas. Also, it is a good natural cure for preventing heart diseases that can cause chest pain. It is rich in fiber which can lead to irritable bowel syndrome.

Yeeeeeessss!!!!! A new TAD MOROSE!!! Two years after their masterpiece "Undead" they are back with "Matters Of The Dark" and I've been so very anxious about if they could hold their typical damn high standard - and just like with "Undead" it doesn't ignite at first listen, but when it does, it'd truly erupts!
Style-wise they at the same time have not changed, but still sound different, yet in a kind of quiet evolution, which unites all trade-marks of the band, yet still being far from copying themselves. This is the way it should be and honestly, if TAD MOROSE had really changed their sound, I'd have been a little disappointed!
"Sword Of Retribution" kicks off the album in the trusted TAD MOROSE-manner, powerful, mid-paced, in the guitars with an almost doomy atmosphere, just to get faster in the middle section towards the solo, with measured keyboards and what I had waited for, of course - Urban Breed... The voice of this guy is barely to be put into words, damn powerful, really original, not so high, just great! Sorry, together with Khan he is my favourite singer, even before Kiske or Dickinson!
And on it goes, driven by fat double-bass and an illustrious guest-vocalist: Charles "Chulle" Rytkönen of none other than LEFAY! With a great, choir-borne chorus we get a song that is among the fastest in the repertoire of the MAD TOROS, crunchy guitars, very good vocal collaboration, Charles with his absolutely unique road, great, great, great! The doomy atmosphere, a trademark of TAD MOROSE ever since their debut "Leaving The Past Behind" (special thanks go out to "Rock Hard"-magazine, where I won this CD and which made me a Taddy-Bear!), again can be found on "Ethereal Soul", which's irresistible chorus makes this song an unforgettable memory.
A tad faster is "I Know Your Name", straight mid-tempo with heavy guitars and another strong vocal performance by Urban, who once more ennobles every song on this CD with his great voice! Just like the rather measured (but not balladesque!) "In The Shadows", rather more commercial, very catchy, but still good! But after that the gentlemen Breed (Long live Breedianism), Andersson (Hej, Krunt!), Olsson, Modd (still driving BMW?) und Morén (the Morén-effect - "beer? Glllll....") let the hammer swing again, because "Another Way" is speeding through the botany, most probably the fastest TAD MOROSE-track ever, again very catchy, with very good vocal-arrangement and choir!
"New Clear Skies" again is more "commercial" (as if you could make money with this style, but that's just too often the case with great music!), with an irresistible chorus, just like "Riding The Beast", which is rather held in the doomy Mid-Tempo-Metal in the TAD MOROSE-vein, followed by "Reason Of The Ghost", which is pretty slow-paced and somehow won't really ignite, the choir in the chorus also sounds a bit strange and pressed, not a bad song, but not of the same calibre as the rest...
"The Devil's Finger" again is a TAD MOROSE-cracker of the old vein, melodic, a bit doomy, powerful, strong vocals, takes a little bit longer until it really unfolds, but then proves his whole class! And the closing "Don't Pray For Me" also is rather sluggish, but very power- and forceful, a good closer for an album of this calibre!
If you haven't fallen asleep yet, I guess that I rather come to an end, not that somebody crashes into the keyboard with his head and I get sued for compensation...
All in all "Matters Of The Dark" cannot fully read "Undead", but still, I have been and still am an avowed Taddy-Bear and the by now fifth complete album of the Bollnäs-quintet is again a brilliant piece of absolutely cliché-free Power Metal, which any quality-conscious fan of Metal should have! So, my friends, I hope to see you at the end of May in the Metal-capital of Sweden - no, not Göteborg, but Bollnäs! BOLLNÄS METAL RULEZ!!

GMC Sierra Owners Manual
Driving on Wet Roads
Rain and wet roads can reduce vehicle traction and affect your ability to stop and accelerate.
Always drive slower in these types of driving conditions and avoid driving through large puddles and deep-standing or flowing water.
Wet brakes can cause crashes.
They might not work as well in a quick stop and could cause pulling to one side. You could lose control of the vehicle.
After driving through a large puddle of water or a car/vehicle wash, lightly apply the brake pedal until the brakes work normally.
Flowing or rushing water creates strong forces. Driving through flowing water could cause the vehicle to be carried away. If this happens, you and other vehicle occupants could drown. Do not ignore police warnings and be very cautious about trying to drive through flowing water.
Hydroplaning is dangerous. Water can build up under the vehicle's tires so they actually ride on the water. This can happen if the road is wet enough and you are going fast enough. When the vehicle is hydroplaning, it has little or no contact with the road.
There is no hard and fast rule about hydroplaning. The best advice is to slow down when the road is wet.
Other Rainy Weather Tips
Besides slowing down, other wet weather driving tips include:
• Allow extra following distance.
• Pass with caution.
• Keep windshield wiping equipment in good shape.
• Keep the windshield washer fluid reservoir filled.
• Have good tires with proper tread depth. See Tires on page 10‑54.
• Turn off cruise control.

China’s central government disciplinarians have been urging their subordinates in the provinces to clean up their act for years. Officials in Shanxi Province appear to have taken the order literally.
At a press conference held this week in the Shanxi capital of Taiyuan, the provincial government publicized 15 cases in which local officials had been reprimanded for engaging in “entertainment activities” on government time. Of the 15, all but five were busted for visiting bathhouses.
The wayward officials were netted as part of a province-wide crackdown on inefficiency that discovered close to 300 officials using work time to do things other than work. The effort comes as central leaders pursue a new anti-corruption campaign, including a recent ban on high-end golf club memberships, to counter widespread public anger over the profligate lifestyles of top officials.
According to a report (in Chinese) posted on a Taiyuan news website, the month-long sting in Shanxi involved four separate raids on nearly 2000 establishments, including 150 teahouses, 368 card rooms, 378 karaoke parlors, 440 foot massage parlors and 506 bathhouses.
What’s wrong with a little midday shower? One clue is the case of provincial-level policeman, mentioned during the press conference on Monday , who was fired for being discovered at a bathhouse getting a “massage.”
Xinhua reports that 79 of the officials nabbed in the month-long sting have been punished. The Taiyuan news report said 15 were removed from their posts.
A provincial spokesman attributed Shanxi’s hooky epidemic to “a lack of spirit, loose thinking, and inappropriate life and work habits” amongst certain government workers.
The crackdown mirrors a similar effort two years ago to stop officials in nearby Henan Province from spending public money on the hours-long, booze-filled lunches considered a standard perk by many government employees. Although the anti-“liquid lunch” campaign received widespread media coverage, it’s not clear whether the ban stuck.
In a survey conducted by Horizon Research early this year, 60% of Chinese people identified corruption as the country’s biggest image problem, ahead of pollution and uncivilized public behavior. The sting in Shanxi failed to net any top officials—operations of this kind rarely do–but when you’re facing a PR disaster of this magnitude, every little bit helps.

Black maternal mortality is on the rise
In this American Heart Association article, you'll learn about:
- Health officials concern of black maternal mortality during the pandemic
"Although data regarding the pandemic's impact on maternal mortality won't be available for some time, medical experts and health advocates are collecting anecdotes that highlight the intensifying crisis facing Black women."
- Root causes behind this health disparity
"The reasons behind these racial disparities are multifaceted. Lack of access to health care and poor quality of care are among the factors. But even college-educated Black women die at higher rates from pregnancy-related causes than white women who didn't finish high school, CDC data show."
- What the federal government is doing
" Last December, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services outlined plans to fund health care providers serving the most high-risk women, develop and publicly report maternal health quality measures, and invest in maternal health research. In addition, the CDC last summer launched the Hear Her campaign to educate people about the warning signs of pregnancy complications. "

Workforce Housing Initiative
For several decades, the central Puget Sound region’s increasing housing costs near urban centers has led to undesired consequences, forcing families to live farther and farther from their jobs. With increasing fuel costs and diminished home values, the need for diverse housing options near jobs has never been as critical. To spur regional dialogue and increase the availability of workforce housing near employment centers, ULI Northwest and Enterprise Community Partners launched a vigorous workforce housing initiative.
Major accomplishments include:
- Featured a popular speaker series with keynote speakers including Henry Cisneros, John McIlwain, Robin Snyderman, and Ron Terwilliger;
- Drafted an employer-assisted housing whitepaper;
- Convened a housing, transportation and climate forum educating key leaders about transit station opportunities;
- Provided feasibility analyses for key land use policy decisions at the request of council members, including conducting the Bel-Red Corridor ULI Technical Assistance Panel for the proposed incentive zoning policy.
Total Affordability: Reframing the Housing Challenge
Total Affordability Program, August 20, 2009
For the third year of this effort, the Workforce Housing Task Force formed three committees to facilitate work on parallel initiatives: Policy, Communications, and Best Practices. The project information provided here are the products of the Best Practices Committee.
The workforce housing matrix of tools and development project profiles represent the initial effort of the Best Practices Committee to further the dialogue and illustrate the effective use of tools in the production of workforce housing. The Committee’s work builds directly on that of the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), which recently surveyed jurisdictions across the four-county area to identify tools for workforce housing production. The Best Practices committee categorized the mechanisms identified by PSRC into an interpreted list of tools. In parallel, the Committee surveyed colleagues in the development community to identify multi-family housing projects that incorporated units affordable to households with incomes between 60% and 120% AMI, and assembled these initial four case studies. Together, the matrix and profiles illustrate mechanisms available that can result in the creation of workforce housing units.
We thank the dedicated team of volunteers responsible for drafting the content, the developers for their review, and GGLO for designing the project profiles. These profiles help advance the vision of what workforce housing is, and, ultimately ULI Northwest Housing Task Force’s goal to set the stage for much-needed policy, leadership, and practices that support enduring housing affordability in the region.

Colorado State University conducted the study using 16 dogs with epilepsy. All of the dogs stayed on their normal anticonvulsant drugs, while nine of them were also treated with CBD oil for 12 weeks. The other seven were in the control group and treated with a placebo. In the clinical trial, the neurologist in charge of the study found 89 percent of the dogs treated with cannabidiol had fewer seizures.
The research was done in 2016 and 2017 and the results are being published in Juneâ€™s issue of the â€śJournal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.â€ť
The initial study found dogs with a higher level of CBD in their blood had the biggest seizure reduction. The neurologist is now conducting a separate clinical study and will adjust the dose of CBD oil.
CBD is not considered marijuana, although it is derived from the hemp plant.
Tonight at 10â€“ The anti-vaccination movement has spread to our pets. Some owners say theyâ€™re done with shots for their dogsâ€“ after what they claim happened to their furry friend. Is it a false fear or legitimate concern? You decideâ€“ Tonight at 10.

The authors evaluated the efficacy of a brief image-based prevention intervention and assessed current drug use as a moderator of intervention effects. In a clinical trial, 416 high school-age adolescents were randomized to either the brief intervention or usual care control, with data collected at baseline and 3-month follow-up. The brief intervention consisted of a tailored in-person communication and a series of parent/guardian print materials based on the behavior-image model. Health behavior goal setting increased for participants receiving the brief intervention, with an effect size in the small range (d = 0.33). Overall effect sizes for cigarette smoking frequency and quantity and alcohol use frequency and quantity were small (ds = 0.16-0.21) and in favor of the brief intervention. However, adolescents reporting current substance use who received the brief intervention reduced their frequency and heavy use of alcohol, frequency and quantity of cigarette smoking, and reported fewer alcohol/drug problems, with larger effects ranging from small to approaching medium in size (ds = 0.32-0.43, ps < .01). This study suggests that brief image-based messages may increase health behavior goal setting and reduce substance use, particularly among drug-using older adolescents.

The equipment, with a total value of US$90,000 (equivalent to D4,005,000),included a computer, printer, scanner, digital camera, microscope, automatic syringes and needles, camp beds, overcoats, gum boosts, face masks, raincoats, 10 deep freezers and 10 fridges.
They were given to effectively support the cold chain, gas burners and cylinders, sterilization cookers, and other laboratory equipment and materials.
Speaking at the handing-over ceremony, the FAO country representative, Dr Perpetua M. Katepa-Kalala, expressed delight to witness the handing-over of equipment and materials to the department of Livestock Services.
According to her, the two projects are providing support: one is FAO’s technical cooperation project that provides assistance to control the outbreak of Contagious Bovine Pleuro-pneumonia (CBPP), and the second is the FAO project Emergency Agriculture Support to Vulnerable Households funded by the Japanese government.
The livestock sub-sector in The Gambia contributes 29.6 per cent to the agricultural GDP and 8.6 per cent to the National GDP, she said.
Livestock constituted an important source of food, as well as a store of assets for many households in The Gambia, she continued, adding that livestock is important to the country’s economic and social fabric.
According to her, CBPP is a major deadly disease considered among the biggest threat to cattle production in sub-sahran Africa.
In some circumstances, mortalities could easily surpass 50 per cent if effective control measures are not urgently taken, she said.
When CBPP re-emerged in The Gambia in August 2012 after an absence of 42 years, it was critical to begin to stamp it out as quickly as possible, she continued.
FAO is pleased to have been a faithful partner to the Gambia government in this important effort, she went on.
Since the government declared a National Animal Health Emergency in the country and began mobilising all available emergency funds for immediate action, FAO provided support through an emergency TCP Project amounting to US$469,000, equivalent to D19,229,000.
The project was part of the FAO technical cooperation programme (TCP), she added.
The TCP is an important way in which FAO contributes to the achievement of the UN Millennium Development Goals, particularly the goal of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, according to the FAO official.
The project was designed to conduct a nationwide vaccination campaign to curb the spread of the disease, enhance the technical knowledge and capacity of the staff on improved techniques for CBPP diagnosis, disease surveillance, as well as improve the capacities of national laboratories for disease diagnosis.
The support was also extended to addressing issues of funding for basic field and laboratory activities, she further stated.
It was expected that the project would help to contain the CBPP outbreak, and minimise the rapid spread of the disease to all parts of the country, she said.
FAO stands ready at all times to support the food security needs of the Gambian people in consonance with their mandate and comparative advantage in this important livelihood sector, she added.
The FAO country representative also thanked the Japanese government, whose generous financial support, she said, would make the third CBPP mass vaccination campaign possible.
Dr Katepa-Kalala expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Agriculture and the Gambia government for the formidable partnership they have forged in their endeavour to eradicating CBPP in The Gambia and the sub-region.
“We at FAO will continue to work in tandem with the Government of The Gambia in the implementation of the projects and programmes that are in consonance with the country programme framework CPF that embodies the priority focus areas for FAO work as agreed with the government,” she stated.
Speaking on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Isatou Yabo expressed gratitude to FAO for the support through the TCP.
She said they have funded the conduct of mass vaccination campaigns for at least 5 years and beyond, until the causative agents was serologically proven to be absent from cattle population.
Dr Duto Fofana, overseeing officer of the DLS, said the importance and relevance of the materials in the control and eradication of contagious Bovine Pleuro-pneumonia (CBPP) could not be overstated.
He expressed appreciation and gratitude to the FAO for providing not only materials and equipment, but also financial resources to conduct the past, present and future vaccination campaigns.
Fofana also thanked the Gambia Livestock Marketing Agency (GLMA), PROGEBE and the Ministry of Agriculture for their enormous support in fighting and eliminating the deadly cattle disease from the country.
Dr Demba Jallow, Director General of GLMA, also thanked FAO and the Gambia government for the effort and collaboration to end the deadly disease.
