Conference blog: The Tories plan a lazy Sunday afternoon
PinkNews.co.uk will be reporting live from all three party conferences this year. The Lib Dems are in Bournemouth from 13th to 17th September.
Labour are in Manchester from 20th to 24th September and the Conservatives are in Birmingham from 28th September to 1st October.
To kick off the conference season, Tony Grew takes a look at the Tory conference agenda.
The opening day at this year’s Conservative party conference reads more like a mid morning magazine programme than a platform for government.
The party’s very own Richard and Judy, Chairman Caroline and conference chair Jeremy Middleton, will kick things off with a jolly introduction at 11am on Sunday morning – followed by a special report from the Chuckle Brothers, David Willetts and Andrew Mitchell, who have well over an hour to discuss “Birmingham – Past, Present and Future.”
England’s second city, represented by ten MPs, sadly none of them Tory, “has enjoyed a renaissance of late,” explains the conference agenda, “and David Willetts and Andrew Mitchell will discuss Birmingham’s heritage and what the future holds for the city.”
That’s going on from 11.10am until 12.30pm apparently.
During that time the gay community’s least favourite shadow cabinet member, Baroness Warsi, will be presenting the Tory version of the Blue Peter garden.
The Baroness will “introduce this year’s conference Social Action project and the work that we have been doing over the past few months with Birmingham’s Welsh House Farm Estate.” It is unclear at this stage if the project involves a farm, a house or indeed the Welsh.
During the last general election campaign the gay equality organisation Stonewall said then-Mrs Warsi, the Conservative candidate in Dewsbury, was being homophobic by accusing the Labour government of, “allowing schoolchildren to be propositioned for homosexual relationships.”
After 90 minutes for lunch, excitable delegates will be treated to Eric Pickles hosting a special tribute to all the elections the party has won, featuring a speech from William Hague.
At 15:00 the big talent arrives in the shape of Boris, Mayor of London. Fifteen minutes of Boris is followed by Honouring The Armed Forces with Liam Fox.
The fun day is rounded off with 45 minutes to discuss Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Fifteen minutes each.
On Monday the Main Agenda begins, with themed discussions on “caring for an elderly population” and “preparing for government” which will give the shadow cabinet and the Leader an opportunity to present themselves as a credible alternative to Labour.
This Welsh estate is a prominent theme. It seems senior party figures will take to the stage and discuss “our work on the Welsh House Farm Estate to set up a reading group for the young children in the community.”
More from PinkNews
That one is Michael Gove, by the way.
An attempt, no doubt, to make the party seem caring and in touch with people’s needs.
Suave Jeremy Hunt will be telling the conference “about our work to set up a football tournament and train young people in how to organise their own sports events on the Welsh House Farm Estate” which I for one am looking forward to.
The other pervasive theme is “the next Conservative government.”
A year ago that would have smacked of hubris. But with a solid and substantial lead in the polls, it is not surprising that the Tories’ minds have already turned to power.
David Cameron will close the conference with the Leader’s speech on Wednesday. It does not really matter what he says, the Tories will be in victorious mood.

In autumn 1997 a pilot project was started in Finland to develop methods for promoting the health of sailors. Four Finnish shipping companies, (4 cargo ships and 2 passenger-cruise ferries), with altogether 730 sailors participated in the project. Special attention was paid to individuals with health problems and those who generally did not take care of their own health or fitness. Three-quarters of the respondents saw their health as good and one fifth as fair. Thirty-four persons responded that their working capacity was poor. 154 sailors were selected into further physical fitness evaluations. The main task of the project team was to activate sailors to take care of their own health and well-being. The health-promoting activities were directed especially at those persons who needed it. Information lectures concerning healthier eating habits and meals were given. Anti-smoking and anti-alcohol drinking information was given. On board one cruise ferry a project was started on how to react as early as possible to alcohol abuse among seafarers. Courses on shore for sailors were arranged to improve their physical fitness and to increase their resting benefit between working periods at sea. The intervention time was one year. Information about smoking and alcohol led to reduced alcohol consumption. The sailors had started to exercise more often both on board ship and on shore. Those who had increased their physical exercise during free time more often found their own health and working ability to have improved than those who had not changed their exercise habits. It appeared that health intervention projects are really needed especially by older sailors. The results also showed that positive effects could be achieved in the fitness of sailors. Better fitness was good for their health and also increased the work safety.
Sea pilots must be capable of carrying out their work in all situations. Thus, they must not have any disease or defect, that could impair their job performance. By periodic medical examinations attempts are made to ensure their working capacity. In most countries these examinations are carried out by a general practitioner and they include only few if any objective laboratory tests. The aim of the present investigation was to study the effectiveness of the periodic medical examinations to find out in the population of pilots examined persons with health risks, especially risks for cardiovascular diseases. All the pilots examined were over 45 years old (n = 135, response rate 88%). Self-evaluation of health was carried out by a questionnaire. Blood analyses were made and chest X-ray as well as exercise-ECC were taken. The most common subjective symptoms concerned musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal systems; sleep disturbances were also quite common. The three most frequent diseases diagnosed earlier by a doctor were musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal diseases, and arterial hypertension. About 24% of pilots had a lower physical working capacity than predicted. The body mass index indicated at least 11% overweight in half of the cases. At exercise-ECG four pilots appeared to have an ischaemic heart disease and additionally eleven pilots had abnormal ECG. Over 80% of pilots had a serum cholesterol value higher than 5 mmol/l, and serum triglyceride values exceeded the normal value of 2.0 mmol/l in every fourth case. Serum glutamyl transaminase was pathological in over 20% of the cases, and serum glucose level in 8%. The findings by routine physical examinations were very few consisting of stiffness in musculoskeletal system, two cases of elevated blood pressure, two heart murmurs, varicose veins etc. In two cases an inguinal hernia was suspected. The current periodic health examinations does not seem to effectively prevent a person with possible health defect from working as a sea pilot. More objective tests must be included in these examinations and more attention should be paid to prevention of overweight, effective treatment of musculoskeletal symptoms, improving physical working capacity and helping pilots to manage their psychic stress.
347 Finnish deck officers completed the questionnaire on medical training, knowledge and skills. The following conclusions could be drawn: a. Medical training must be based on generally accepted standards, both nationally and internationally. b. More practical exercises should be included in the training. c. Refresher medical training clearly increases knowledge and skills but it also gives the possibility to train, maintain and repeat practical routines. d. Evaluation of the skills should be a part of qualification. e. Good medical knowledge on board ship needs radio-medical services and vice versa.

GAINESVILLE, Ga. — The U.S. Meals and Drug Administration defines salmonella as a “group of micro organism that may trigger gastrointestinal sickness and fever referred to as salmonellosis.” Based on their web site, the Middle for Illness Management and Prevention says that the micro organism will be detected in a number of forms of meals comparable to greens like sprouts, eggs, rooster, pork and fruits. It will also be detected in processed meals, for instance, nut butters, frozen pot pies, rooster nuggets and stuffed rooster meals.
The FDA provides the micro organism will be transmitted from meals managers who don’t clear their fingers when making ready meals. If the preparation instruments to arrange the meals are usually not correctly sanitized, folks might contract salmonella from soiled supplies. Additionally, somebody might contract the sickness in the event that they eat undercooked or uncooked meals. Often there will likely be no change to the scent or style of the meals that’s contaminated.
The FDA lays out signs of an an infection which embody “diarrhea, fever and belly cramps.” In some circumstances, extra extreme signs embody “excessive fever, aches, complications, lethargy, a rash, blood within the urine or stool.” Signs begin 12 to 72 hours after the incubation of the sickness.
Based on the FDA, the an infection can final 4 to seven days, and most of the people don’t require remedy for the an infection. Salmonella will not be normally deadly, nonetheless, the CDC states that 450 Individuals die of acute salmonella poisonings yearly.
The CDC and the FDA agree that individuals which have compromised immune methods, youngsters youthful than the age of 5 or older adults might get a extra extreme case of salmonella.
The CDC warns that salmonella is extra widespread within the summertime as a result of the nice and cozy climate might improve the expansion of the micro organism in sure meals. You will need to refrigerate any meals which may spoil quickly, ready meals and leftovers. Leftovers ought to solely be ignored for about two hours. If the temperature exterior is larger than 90 levels Fahrenheit, the leftovers ought to solely stay exterior for one hour.
The CDC says that salmonella will be transmitted from folks to folks and animals to folks. Animals can carry salmonella micro organism on them. The CDC recommends that an individual wash their fingers after touching “their pet, one other animal, meals, water, fecal matter, toys, bowls or habitats.” It is vital for an individual to not put their fingers or fingers of their mouth after they’ve been taking part in with or petting their animals. Moreover, maintain all objects which were round a pet out of an individual’s mouth. An individual should not kiss their pets or animals. Individuals who have compromised immune methods, youngsters beneath the age of 5 or older adults shouldn’t contact high-risk animals comparable to turtles, frogs, chickens or geese. Don’t eat any meals or drinks round high-risk animals or their habitats.
An individual ought to all the time cleanse their pets’ beds, cages, terrariums or aquariums and different merchandise open air. If somebody cleans their pets’ objects inside, use a bath or sink as a result of they are often disinfected. Don’t use the kitchen sink. The CDC says that most individuals who contract salmonella don’t see a health care provider to have laboratory exams performed to see what germ made them sick. For each one one that sees a health care provider and has a laboratory check, there are 30 individuals who have unreported infections of salmonella.
PathogenDx is situated in Scottsdale, Ariz. They observe that their mission is “to develop into the brand new normal in nucleic acid-based testing by means of widespread adoption of its superior microarray testing platform for the human diagnostics, meals and agricultural industries.”
PathogenDx lately introduced its new fast, single check for salmonella. The check known as SeroX. It may well detect salmonella and 13 different serotypes. The 13 serotypes that the check detects are Enteritidis, Typhimurium, Newport, Javiana, Monophasic Typhimurium, Heidelberg, Muenchen, Saintpaul, Montevideo, Infantis, Braenderup, Oranienberg and Thompson.
“Salmonella outbreaks are an enormous concern going through poultry producers, notably whenever you have a look at the astronomical threat and prices related to an outbreak,” Milan Patel, PathogenDx co-founder and CEO, stated. “For each confirmed case of salmonella, one other 30 go undetected. The truth is, the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention estimates that every yr one in six Individuals or 48 million folks get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and three,000 die of foodborne illnesses. To make issues worse, meals contaminated with salmonella normally seems, tastes and smells regular. That’s why next-gen exams like SeroX are important to stopping an infection and minimizing this menace to public well being within the U.S.”
Patel added that, “with SeroX there isn’t a want for qPCR, NGS testing or each. SeroX delivers superior gene detection of Salmonella and 13 serotypes from main enrichment, and ensures a better, simplified workflow and price financial savings that poultry producers require to optimize manufacturing and meals security. SeroX outcomes are additionally prepared in a single-shift and ship the bottom price per pattern when in comparison with sequence and antisera based mostly serotyping strategies.”

The Golden Globes are cancelled. And yes, we mean that literally. Today Deadline reported that the Golden Globe awards will not air on NBC next year. This news comes following revelations about the inner workings of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the non-profit which conducts and votes on the annual awards.
No Golden Globes 2022
Speaking about the cancellation of the Globes, NBC announced: “We continue to believe that the HFPA is committed to meaningful reform. However, change of this magnitude takes time and work, and we feel strongly that the HFPA needs time to do it right. As such, NBC will not air the 2022 Golden Globes. Assuming the organization executes on its plan, we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in January 2023.”
Considering this year’s unconventional pandemic awards season — semi-virtual, socially distant, and extremely delayed — viewers at home have become accustomed to reformatted awards shows. But who knows what the overhauled Golden Globes ceremony will look like in 2023? One thing is for sure: something had to change.
Prior to this year’s February 28th show, it was reported that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has zero black members. (The foundation has 87 members total.) The Hollywood watchdog organization Time’s Up publicized this disclosure. Years after the #Oscars So White movement — and in the midst of such a politically tense period — this news was a shock that cast a shadow over the night. Even co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made their repugnance apparent during the opening monologue. Later on, in the show, the HFPA’s lack of diversity was addressed directly in a speech by members.
Other HFPA scandals were also unearthed: the group apparently paid its own members to serve as officers and committee members. Additionally, Paramount flew more than 30 members of the HFPA to Paris to visit the set of Netflix’s Emily in Paris. There, the members were treated to stays at a $1,400 a night, 5-star hotel as well as fancy dinners. Unsurprisingly, Emily in Paris received a nomination for Best Actress and Best Comedy or Musical — despite being critically panned.
Stars Denounce the Globes
— Mark Ruffalo (@MarkRuffalo) May 8, 2021
In the light re-assessing the Golden Globes, A-lister Tom Cruise voiced his own protest by returning their trophies. Cruise has handed back the three awards he’d won, for Magnolia, Jerry Maguire, and Born on the Fourth of July. Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo joined him in solidarity. Though Johansson has no Globes of her own to return — she’s only been nominated — she spoke on the subject to Entertainment Weekly:
“[The] HFPA is an organization that was legitimized by the likes of Harvey Weinstein to amass momentum for Academy recognition. Unless there is necessary fundamental reform within the organization, I believe it is time that we take a step back from the HFPA.”
Ruffalo won his first Golden Globe just this past February for I Know This Much Is True. He has not commented on whether he’s giving back the trophy, but he did tweet that “as a recent winner of a Golden Globe, I cannot feel proud or happy about being a recipient of this award.”
An Impending Boycott
Last week, Netflix, and Amazon Studios announced a refusal to participate in any events related to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association until the organization demonstrates some serious internal changes. They announced their intentions in a letter to HFPA president Ali Sar. Once WarnerMedia expressed the intention to boycott as well, the decision to pull the 2022 Golden Globes was announced.
As of now, it remains unclear whether NBC will pay the HFPA its annual $60 million fees for exclusive rights to air the Globes, which is produced by Dick Clark Productions. But honestly, can they even afford to? The 2021 telecast drew in just 6.9 million viewers: an all-time low, and a 62 percent decline from the year before.
Then again, it was clearly an abysmal year for motion pictures at large. Nobody saw them! Though many features were released for rental at home, it will take Hollywood a while to bounce back after such dismally low box office earnings. For context: in 2021, box office revenue for the cinema dropped 71%.
While there’s no doubt the HFPA had some serious structural changes to make, this year was bound to make networks question the commercial viability of expensive awards show productions.

Amazon shoppers have recommended a trivia card game that gets the mind whirring this Christmas. Focusing on judgement rather than knowledge, players will be surprised by the answers that are indeed correct.
The More or Less trivia card game costs £11.95 and gives players two options which they have to choose between with the answer being more or less. On its website, the product listing states: “Ever wondered if snails have more or less teeth than a great white shark?
“Or if there are more or less calories in an avocado than a McDonald’s cheeseburger? More or Less is an outlandish collection of random, surprising and amusing questions where you apply your judgement and answer with More or Less. Perfect for playing with friends or family…or just a fascinating read on the toilet.”
With an overall rating of 4.4 stars out of five on its website, Amazon shoppers have been loving the game. One shopper wrote: “Easy to play, makes you think and chat about the questions. Simple fun. We all enjoyed this game. Would recommend.”
Another happy customer said: “If you like intriguing questions you’ve never thought of, this game of mad comparisons will be right up your street. It takes two different things that aren’t easy to compare but asks you to have a go anyway. There’s always an answer so you get to see who got it right.
"We played it with our teenagers, and would not recommend it for younger children as the concepts and questions are too complicated to grasp. We found it good for travelling in the car and it made us think a bit. Some of the wording is a bit ambiguous and could do with clarification, but overall it’s something a bit different. Would recommend.”
With a third added: “This small compact, very travelable game is very easy to play. Sometimes you even have to google the correct answer cause you just don’t believe it. It’s good fun.”
A fourth said: “Kept the children and adults entertained for hours on a drive up to Scotland! Will be buying more for family Christmas gifts!”
While many loved the game there were some who felt it lost its appeal after one game while others found it not to be ideal for everyone. One less happy customer wrote: “We found some of the questions to be a bit difficult for the children aged nine and 12 so interest waned very quickly. More suitable as an adult quiz game.”
And another shared: “Although this game is interesting and would be fun, once you're through the cards it's dead and it's not really playable again in the way some games are. The wordings on the cards naturally want 'more or less' to be included but some sentences were worded terribly and didn't make sense. Some people, children for sure, would struggle to understand fully without re-wording.”
If you love a card game but fancy something less trivia related then The Range has a great option you may love. One popular card game that all the family can enjoy is the game Uno which can be bought for £6.99 from the Range. Guaranteed fun for all, you can spend hours playing the game without getting bored and if you fancy, you can add your own twists and even turn it into a drinking game.

On Friday, International Holocaust Remembrance Day, President Trump signed an executive order designed to get people talking about the Holocaust. In a beautiful gesture to the Jewish community, Trump ensured with his new decree that the Holocaust would be a major topic of discussion in households, on the news, and in rapidly mobilizing civil rights groups.
Trump’s executive order, which bans refugees from several muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for the next four months, distinctly recalls how the world’s nations turned their back on Jews seeking asylum from Nazi Germany. It’s touching to see our President taking such measures to remember the Holocaust.
“The Holocaust was so terrible,” Trump said on Friday. “So sad. I love the Jews. We should remember what happened. People will remember. I will make people remember.” More like Educator in Chief.
In a time when many people still deny that the Holocaust ever happened, it’s so great to see America vividly depicting the early stages of it for the whole world to see. This was real. This happened. The world, less than a century ago, turned a blind eye to the suffering of the Jewish people, and as a result over six million were slaughtered. It is truly inspirational to see Trump showing people in great detail how this could have happened.
Good on you, Donald. Never forget.

From July 1, the Australian authorities will resource at least 20% of expert services from SMEs, as a evaluate to mature community enterprises and employ a lot more staff members.
The CPR alter doubles the former goal of 10% government procurement (by worth) for SMEs.
A new price-for-cash principle will advise how community servants identify procurement proposals, together with a function to prompt thing to consider of weather modify impact.
In a joint assertion, finance minister Katy Gallagher and modest business minister Julie Collins mentioned the new procedures would motivate government entities to technique a number of provides when procurement from a panel arrangement.
“Adopting this improve increases competitors, driving value for funds outcomes and guaranteeing a much better deal for the taxpayer.
“Value for funds is the core rule of the CPRs. When evaluating benefit for revenue officials will have to take into account the appropriate economic and non-economic expenses and added benefits of just about every proposal,” the ministers claimed.

Each individual year about $70 billion is put in by the authorities on procurement contracts. The variations stick to an election motivation from Labor to drive far more alternatives for SMEs on the campaign trail.
Senator Gallagher stated the adjustments paved the way for nearby corporations to share in the way governing administration paying out on products and solutions to aid Australians.

The CPRs say this listing is not exhaustive but commonwealth entities are inspired to use a sustainable procurement guide published very last calendar year ‘where there is opportunity for sustainability or use of recycled content’. Environmental sustainability criteria must also assume about electrical power effectiveness, and environmental and local weather alter impact.
“This modify goes hand in hand with our dedication to decrease Australia’s emissions by 43% by 2030 and delivers an possibility to showcase Australia’s abundance of expertise, sources and innovation,” the assertion mentioned.

Last week, Bucks County Commissioners said the county will provide plastic face shields to all students and staff in Bucks’ 13 school districts, both public and private.
“We think this is a great way for them to all start off together with that same protection, said the commissioner’s chairwoman, Diane Ellis-Marseglia, during a virtual press conference.
The shields, noted Marseglia, will allow students and staff to see each other’s mouths, while offering protection from COVID-19.
The county anticipates needing about 200,000 face shields for primary and secondary public schools and private schools, said Larry King, Bucks County’s director of communications, in an email. Each shield is expected to cost $3.95, he said, totaling some $790,000.
Providing face shields to preschools is also being considered, said King.
Details as to exactly how many shields and in what sizes are still being discussed and no order has yet been placed, said King. Funding from the county’s approximately $109 million portion of the federal CARES Act will be used to pay for the face guards, added King.

Three things to watch in Evansville local sports in 2022
EVANSVILLE — While we continue to navigate the pandemic, the local sports scene mostly returned to normal in 2021. The Otters and Thunderbolts resumed play after canceled seasons while fans are back in the stands.
Here are three things in local sports – not including the city’s high schools or colleges – to watch in 2022. (Editor's note: This is the final of a four-part series.)
Will any locals bring home titles?
We won’t be able to gather around our TVs to cheer for Lilly King and Mikaela Jenkins, a pair of Reitz graduates who competed in the Tokyo Olympics last year.
Perhaps the Otters will have a revenge tour. They finished with a 57-39 record, which tied a franchise mark for the most single-season victories. They also missed the postseason for the first time since 2015. The Otters were a half-game shy of first place.
They last won the Frontier League in 2016.
Meanwhile, the Thunderbolts are 12-11 this season, which puts them eighth in the 11-team Southern Professional Hockey League. They’re closer to fourth than last, though. And they’re averaging 2,735 fans per game, which is good for fifth in the SPHL. That’s their best turnout since the team was established in 2016. Might locals flock to Ford Center to see postseason hockey?
Who else could represent the city on a national or championship-level stage?
Postseason basketball tournaments might feel more normal
That's unless the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc on sports.
While the Ohio Valley Conference basketball championships remained in town last spring, they didn’t have the same appeal. Neither did the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional and D-II Men's Championship, which had notable tweaks for health and safety reasons.
Crowds were limited to 25% capacity, or no fans were permitted at all. There were no spirit squads or bands; no on-court promotions or volunteers. Media was not allowed to be around the court. Teams were not allowed to go out into the community at all, either.
So, even though the city hosted some March Madness, there weren’t jam-packed crowds similar to the Ja Morant Show a few years ago when the stars, such as Magic Johnson, came to town.
There still could be multiple tickets punched to the upcoming NCAA tournament. The OVC has been predicted to be another multiple-bid league.
Ford Center will host the D-II Elite Eight again, too. It will mark the 26th time the champion will be crowned in Evansville.
Another unique event at Bosse Field
Evansville Sports Corp. officials are hoping to utilize Bosse Field for more than solely the Otters, even if there aren’t many better ways to spend a summer night in town than at one of their games.
The city has made a pitch to Major League Baseball about hosting a one-off regular-season game that would be similar to the Field of Dreams contest held in rural Iowa last summer between the Yankees and White Sox. MLB will continue with the same concept in 2022 for the Reds and the Cubs, but there’s reason to believe it will look at other sites where locals often don’t get to see big-league baseball.
Although a game likely won’t happen this year, it could be announced for one of the years to come.
A more realistic expectation this summer would be for Team USA softball to play an exhibition. Last summer, Bosse Field hosted exhibitions for USSSA Pride, an independent professional fastpitch softball team with some of the best players in the country. It was a success as roughly 170 youth softball teams filled the park.
Bosse Field’s recent renovations have enhanced the experience, so we’ll have to see if it’s now fit for a more grand event.


FORT LAUDERDALE — Shan Harrilal, a one time skeptic who wallowed in depression, walked out of the big top a changed woman.
``He shook me! He really shook me! He shook me!`` cried Harrilal, a 41-year old native of Trinidad, moments after picking herself up from the dirt floor Monday night.
The Rev. Leroy Jenkins, the flamboyant evangelist, faith healer and convicted felon, is in town.
Jenkins will stay until Saturday, holding nightly Christian revival meetings like the one Monday night under the big top at Sunrise Boulevard and Northwest 28th Avenue.
For more than three hours, Jenkins led about 250 revelers in an emotion- charged rally of faith.
Dressed in a black suit with a white ruffled shirt and a rhinestone studded ascot, he spoke of his God-given gifts of healing and knowledge.
To doubters, he issued a challenge, daring anyone to prove him a liar, ``because I`ll show that you`re a damned liar!`` he shouted.
There were no takers.
He worked the crowd, telling them their most intimate maladies and problems, and of divine ``visions`` that revealed personal secrets to him.
``Faith works and Jesus won`t fail you!`` he repeatedly shouted.
``Amen!`` the crowd returned.
Harrilal was among a handful of revelers who claimed to have been healed by the former television evangelist. Suffering from depression and arthritis in her back, she fell to the ground when Jenkins touched his hand to her forehead and prayed for her to be well.
``I got hit hard,`` she said later. ``I feel just great. I believe in miracles. There`s something in him.``
Jenkins, 47, recently returned to the evangelist circuit after spending five years and eight months in the Kirkland Correctional Institute in South Carolina. He served less than half of his 12-year sentence.

Space and Time #115 – Fall 2011
Edited by Hildy Silverman
Cover Artist: Hannah M.G. Shapero
Review by Sam Tomaino
Space and Time ISBN/ITEM#: 0271-2512
Date: 26 October 2011
Links: Space and Time / Pub Info / Table of Contents /
The latest issue of Space And Time is #115, the Fall 2011 issue and it's their best of the year with one story Hugo-worthy.
The fiction begins with "Misprints" by Don D'Ammassa. Our narrator is a private detective named Burton that barely escapes death one night. The SUV that tired to run him down crashes and a woman gets out. She looks at Burton with hatred in her eyes and runs away. He recognizes her. The only problem is that she is Laurie Carter, a woman who has been dead a year. Her death was a result of one of his investigations, having found her cheating on her husband with another woman. When Burton starts looking into things he finds s startling result in one pretty good little story.
Kim Antieu gives us something special in "Good Neighbors". Colleen “CeeCee” Connor is a police sergeant in Skamania County, in southwest Washington State. Divorced from her husband, she lives there with her son, Jake. One day, driving along Highway 14, she hits something. When she gets out to investigate, she finds something stuck to the grill of her car. It looks like a tiny woman, only about two feet tall and translucent. It is still breathing. The local clinic is closed because it's Sunday and the medics at the EMS building can do little for her, so CeeCee takes her home. This is not the only strange thing that had happened that day. Elsewhere, it had, literally, rained cats and dogs (and salmon). People reported that their pets had talked to them. Three kids had disappeared into a cave that was not deep and had no other exits. This all comes together for a fine fantasy story that is not only the best in this issue, but the best story in Space And Time this year. It's so good, I'm adding to my Hugo short list for next year in the novelette category.
Next up is "Along Came a Spider" by Kurt Kirchmeier. One night Triklyn is awakened to find a REMbot in her room. These are eight-legged intelligent robots that steal people's dreams. She accuses it of dream-stealing and it denies the charge. She captures it and throws it in her closet. She starts talking to the REMbot whose name is Patch and thinks it might be able to help her. She is a prisoner of her stepmother and stepsisters, like Cinderella but worse. She is wearing a device that will not let her leave the house. Patch makes a deal with her to help her escape and we get a very imaginative fantasy.
"Sanctuary" by Susan Liev Taylor is a short short about a woman named Sally taking a walk on the beach with her friend, Trisha. She wants to smoke a cigarette but that's a crime punishable by death. More I won't say except that this was another good little story.
Forrest Aguirre's "Der Automatikmann" is even shorter than the previous story, just one paragraph long. Der Automatikmann cannot die. As long as his hand survives even a hail of bullets, he can self-repair. The others in the Picklehauben like to have him on their side until he starts imitating their fallen comrades. Aguirre accomplishes quiet a lot in less than 200 words.
In "The Magpie" by Sandra M. Odell, Samuel has the ability to steal other people's pleasures, leaving them bereft. Both an angel named Serianna and a devil named Breschion try to get him to stop doing this, but he will not listen to either of them. Why he is doing this makes for a beautiful, bittersweet tale.
Last of all, there is "The Secret Life of the Ultimate Male Enhancement" by Robert A. Jeschonek. When a man gets the enhancement from a company called Horse Dreams, Inc that had sent him an e-mail, he gets a surprise. The enhancement now has a mind of its own, calls him the Idiot and narrates the story. The enhancement has a secret and when we find out what it is, it’s hilarious.
There's a reason why Space And Time has been around so long. Subscribe!

Many of my favorite pork recipes take all day to cook—think pulled pork, carnitas, or lechon kawali. Any dish that needs hours in the oven is going to be relegated to the weekend, but that doesn't mean I forget about pork when it's time for a quick dinner. Cuts like chops and tenderloin cook much more quickly than ones like shoulder, making them easy enough for any day of the week. In less than an hour you can grill up some Vietnamese-style chops, throw together a stir-fry with green beans, or even make pressure cooker chile verde. To see just how weeknight-friendly pork can be, check out 12 of our favorite quick pork recipes.
Vietnamese Grilled Lemongrass Pork Chops (Thit Heo Nuong Xa)
While not as popular in the US as banh mi or pho, thit heo nuong xa is a Vietnamese classic that should have a place in your weeknight repertoire. All you need to do to make it is marinate pork chops with shallots, lemongrass, garlic, sugar, pepper, and fish sauce, grill them over high heat until blackened in spots, and serve them with a simple sauce. We like to eat the pork with white rice and slices of raw cucumber.
Adobo-Marinated Grilled Pork Chops
Traditional Filipino pork adobo is made by stewing pork shoulder for hours with cane vinegar, soy sauce, and aromatics until fall-apart tender. Here we take those same flavors and turn them into a marinade for pork chops, which only take 10 minutes to cook. The pork needs to marinate at least eight hours before cooking, so get it started in the morning before work or even the night before.
Breaded Fried Pork Chops
Frying anything can seem intimidating, but once you get the hang of it, these crowd-pleasing pork chops only take 20 minutes to make. We use panko bread crumbs to give the pork a light, airy crust and add in Parmesan and sage for extra flavor. Look for pork chops that are about a half-inch thick, which is just right for the pork to cook through in the same time it takes the breading to turn golden brown and crispy.
Tonkatsu (Japanese Breaded Pork Cutlets)
Once you've mastered fried pork chops, tonkatsu will be a breeze—the basic technique is the same, but we leave the cheese and sage out of the breading. To experience this comfort food staple like you would in Japan, serve it with a big mound of shredded cabbage and plenty of tonkatsu sauce (homemade is great if you want to take the time, but the Bull-Dog brand is a classic for a reason).
Stir-Fried Lo Mein Noodles With Pork and Vegetables
Looking for a more balanced meal? This stir-fry uses sliced pork rib as just one ingredient among many, mixing it with hearty lo mein noodles, crunchy cabbage, and an assortment of aromatics. Soaking the pork in a baking soda solution for 15 minutes while you prep the veggies ensures that it stays moist and tender in the hot wok.
Easy Pressure Cooker Pork Chile Verde
Pressure cooker chile verde has about the best work-to-flavor ratio around—the recipe never gets more technical than roughly chopping some vegetables. Once the prep is done all you have to do is throw everything in a pressure cooker, cook for half an hour, and blend up the sauce. Bring it to the table with tortillas and lime wedges and you have a remarkably easy dinner that feels like a treat.
Easy Stir-Fried Pork With String Beans
Meaty pork and sweet, crunchy green beans are a classic combination in Chinese cooking—in this stir-fry we marinate the pork with salt, soy sauce, wine, sugar, oil, and cornstarch and cook it with ginger-infused oil garlic. Blanching the beans makes them cook super fast once it's time to bring everything together. Stir-frying at home is always a little challenging because the burner in your kitchen is nowhere near as strong as the one in a restaurant, but cook in batches and you'll be fine.
Stir-Fried Sliced Pork With Yellow Chives
Another quick stir-fry, this one pairs the pork with two kinds of Chinese chives—yellow and blossoming—and aromatics like garlic, ginger, and scallions. We marinate the pork in a simple soy sauce mixture with baking soda and cornstarch, which helps keep the meat tender while promoting browning.
Easy Pan-Roasted Pork Tenderloin With Bourbon-Soaked Figs
This looks like a fancy Sunday roast but comes together entirely on the stovetop in just half an hour. We start by searing the tenderloin, then build a bourbon-fig sauce and let the meat come to temperature in the pan as the sauce reduces. The final step is to remove the tenderloin and fortify the sauce with butter to turn it into a rich glaze.
Pork Chops With Apple Cider Pan Sauce
Lean tenderloin is best cooked with an initial sear, but a reverse sear works wonderfully for fattier pork chops. It does mean that this recipe takes a little more than an hour, but you will be rewarded with the juiciest pork you have ever eaten (especially if you brine it first). You don't really need a sauce with pork this tender, but we make a simple one with shallots, thyme, and apple cider anyways.
Pork Chops With White Wine and Leek Pan Sauce
Store-bought chicken stock generally doesn't make a satisfying pan sauce because it doesn't have much gelatin. Our usual trick is just to add powdered gelatin, but that's not the only option. The white wine sauce for these pork chops is made with lots of leeks, which are packed with fiber, and when they cook down they thicken the sauce without any extra gelatin.
Hearty One-Pot Black-Eyed Pea Stew With Kale and Andouille
This rib-sticking stew is made with two kinds of pork: Andouille sausage and slab bacon or salt pork. We cook the meat with Cajun trinity of onion, celery, and green bell peppers and add kale and black eyed peas to make a meal that is filling without being overly heavy.

Wishing you a wonderful 4th of July holiday weekend filled with family, fun, food and gratitude for our amazing country!! I am so thankful to live in the USA and I am so appreciative of all who serve and protect our country!
I love this sweet Baby Bear stamp from Stampin' UP! and thought he'd make a cute 4th of July patriotic bear greeting card, so I added a little flag and a cute red scallop to give it a little extra boost of patriotism! The Floral Boutique background paper and red scallop just give it that "front porch" patriotic feel!!
Baby Bear is a new stamp set found on page 61 in your 2016 Stampin' UP! catalog, or HERE in my online store.
Are you wondering where that darling scallop came from? It's a framelit piece in the Popcorn box die set, new from Stampin' UP! on pg 191 in the 2016 catalog, or HERE in my online store.
You might be recognizing this Baby Bear color combo from THIS CARD that I previously shared with you.. it works so well, I used it again for this card!
TIP for stamping Baby Bear "3-Step Stamping" – stamp dark to light: I found it So Much Easier to stamp the darkest image first, then line up the bottom outline of the bear with the next stamp in the middle color and then use the most solid image in the lightest color last. I tried 3 times the "other" way (light to dark) before I discovered stamping it this way and then it came out great each time! yay!
OH, and the ADORABLE printed blue and white paper?? it's from the Floral Boutique designer series paper pack, found on page 172, or HERE in my online store.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to water-based coating compositions for exterior surfaces which upon application quickly develop resistance to being washed out by inadvertent precipitation. These compositions comprise an aqueous dispersion of water-insoluble latex polymer prepared by emulsion polymerization, inorganic pigment dispersed with anionic polymers, salts or soaps and a water-soluble salt of a multivalent metal such as the propionic acid salt of calcium.
This invention relates to water-based coatings for exterior surfaces. Exterior coatings are exposed to the vicissitudes of weather from the very moment they are applied to protect an exterior surface. Water-based coatings are favored over solvent borne coatings for a number of well known reasons. They offer ease of application, reduced toxic solvent emission, lower raw material and application costs, and easy cleanup of site and equipment. However, water-based coatings are particularly vulnerable to water damage during and immediately after application. A sudden summer shower can wash away or otherwise damage the result of many hours of labor and waste valuable materials.
2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
Exterior water-based coatings may be formulated using aqueous dispersions of water-insoluble polymer latex as binders. After application, the aqueous carrier evaporates, and the individual latex particles coalesce to form an integral film. Some applications require relatively thick coating films. For example, coatings for formed-in-place polyurethane foam which is used to thermally insulate and protect institutional, commercial and industrial roofs, are relatively thick, conventionally on the order of 20-40 mils (0.05-0.10 cm). These coatings are frequently referred to as "roof mastics." Roof mastics are often applied by spray techniques which allow many acres of coating to be applied during a single work period. Because they are applied as a thick coating, they lose water by evaporation relatively slowly in comparison with other polymer latex coatings products such as house paints which are typically applied at 5-8 mils (0.013-0.02 cm). Thus, roof mastics are particularly vulnerable to being washed off by unanticipated precipitation. Typically to avoid having the roof mastic washout it is necessary to apply the full thickness in two or more separate applications which effectively doubles or triples the labor costs of the coating application. A substantial need exists for water-based roof mastics and other exterior water based coatings products which resist washout immediately after application or shortly thereafter ("early" washout resistance) and can be sprayed on vertical surfaces in any thickness without sagging or running. A water based coating that can be sprayed to any thickness on a vertical surface without sagging, running, or washout due to unanticipated precipitation could be applied in one application in the case of a roof mastic thereby eliminating the need for a second or third coat to obtain the desired thickness. This would reduce the labor costs significantly.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,571,415, a water-soluble salt of a multivalent complex ion having labile, volatile ligands such as zinc ammonium complex ion is added to the roof mastic to make a one part composition. It is believed that early washout resistance results from multivalent metal ion precipitation of the anionic polymers used to disperse pigments and that the multivalent metal ions become available for such precipitation as the complex metal ion is shifted through the various equilibria linking it to the metal ion. The ligand, for example, is believed to be lost at the surface of the applied coating or caulk to the atmosphere. There are some problems with incorporating the flocculant into the roof mastic composition before it is applied to the roof, as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,571,415. Zinc tetramine bicarbonate requires high formulation pH (e.g., >10) in order to maintain shelf stability. There also have been objections to the ammonia odor. Although the use of zinc tetramine bicarbonate speeds up the gel time of the resultant coating, by the very nature of it being used in one component system it can only speed up the coating so much before it reduces the package stability of the finished coating or mastic. The object of the present invention does away with stability problems because the preferred method of application is as a two component system. An added benefit of this invention is that the flocculating agent calcium propionate has very low toxicity and no odor as applied in preferred method of application.
The compositions of the present invention comprise two parts 1) an aqueous dispersion of water-insoluble anionically stabilized latex polymer prepared by emulsion polymerization or mechanical emulsification, pigment dispersed with anionic polymers or salts, and 2) the calcium salt of propionic acid.
When applied as a two component cosprayed system as detailed below (Methods of Application) the compositions of this invention are particularly useful as washout resistant coatings for exterior surfaces, especially when applied to horizontal or vertical surfaces such as roofs or walls on industrial, commercial and institutional buildings. These compositions find particular use over foamed in place polyurethane foam roofs to protect the foam from the suns ultraviolet rays which would quickly degrade the polyurethane foam. These compositions can also be used over built-up roofing formed from roofing felts and asphalt or tar which help to extend the life of the roof.
Suitable aqueous anionically stabilized latex binders of water-insoluble polymers are available commercially from a number of vendors but those from Rohm and Haas Company under the trade name Rhoplex and specifically Rhoplex EC1791 are preferred. The relative amount of polymer latex used in the compositions of the present invention depends on the desired application. In general the weight ratio of inorganic pigment to binder may be from 1/1 to about 5/1, preferably about 1/1 to 4/1. In the case of roof mastics, a pigment-to-binder ratio of from 1/1 to 3/1 may be used with a ratio of 2/1 preferred. It is desirable to maintain the pigment volume concentration below the critical pigment volume concentration, as is well known in the coatings art.
Another embodiment of this invention replaces the anionically stabilized latex binders of water insoluble polymers formed by emulsion polymerization with an anionically stabilized asphalt emulsion binder prepared by mechanical emulsion techniques (i.e. colloid mill). As the flocculating agent (PART B) acts specifically on the anionic polymers and soaps which stabilize both types of emulsion, the end results are the same. Therefore both types of emulsions can be used interchangeably in the description of the invention even though the example is directed at the polymer formed by emulsion polymerization. The additives, formulating techniques, pigments, and applications are all interchangeable with the two binder systems and will be immediately obvious to those skilled in the coatings art.
As used in the specification and claims, the word "pigment" denotes both organic and inorganic materials which are used to impart aesthetic and functional qualities such as rutile and anatase titanium dioxide, and inorganic materials which are used to fill the compositions, such as calcium carbonate ("fillers"). The pigments are present in an amount of from 10 percent to 90 percent by weight of the total solids in the composition depending upon the consistency desired, the presence or absence of thickening agents, the amount and identity of cosolvent utilized, and so forth. Suitable pigments include rutile and anatase titanium dioxide, calcite, limestone, mica talc, asbestos fiber or powder, cellulose fiber or powder, diatomaceous earth, barytes, alumina, slate flour, calcium silicate, clay, colloidal silica, magnesium carbonate, magnesium silicate, zinc oxide and so on. The amounts of cosolvent, if any, pigment and polymer solids are such as to give a viscosity approximately 80-120 K.U.
The pigments used in the composition of this invention are dispersed using high speed dispersion equipment such as a Cowles disperser. Anionic polymers, such as polyacrylate or polyphosphate are used as dispersing aids and in stabilizing the dispersion. Copolymers of acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid with lower alkyl acrylates are preferred as dispersants. In another preferred embodiment, potassium tripolyphosphate is used to disperse the inorganic pigments. The amount of dispersant used depends on the surface area of the pigment employed per unit volume of the composition. The amount and combination of dispersants are easily determinable by those skilled in the coatings art by conventional techniques.
The anionic dispersants which may be used are anionically charged polymeric materials used to disperse the inorganic materials used to pigment or fill the coating or roof mastic compositions of the present invention. Sodium tripolyphosphate (CAS Reg. No. 7758-29-4) is a preferred anionic dispersant as is potassium tripolyphosphate. Polyacrylates are also preferred dispersants, and the combination of polyacrylates and polyphosphates are especially preferred. Other types of "condensed" phosphates, that is dehydrated polymerized orthophosphate in which the H2 O to P2 O5 ratio is less than 3 to 1, may be used. Sulfonated polymers, including naphthalene-formaldehyde sulfonated polycondensates, polymaleates, natural product-derived dispersants, such as tannins, lignins, alginates, gluconates, glucocides, organic phosphonates, may be used. Sodium or potassium soaps of any carboxylic acid such as tall oil fatty acid can also be used. The amount of dispersant or soap used depends on the surface area of the pigment employed per unit volume of the composition. The amount is easily determined by those skilled in the coatings art by conventional techniques. The compositions of the present invention may also include conventional coatings ingredients such as can preservatives, antimicrobial agents, mildewcides, anti-freeze agents, coalescents, defoaming agents, colorants, dyes, cosolvents, plasticizers and adhesion promoters. All of these additives and their use levels are all familiar to anyone skilled in the coatings art.
Calcium propionate is a well known food additive used as a mold inhibitor for baking bread. It has very low toxicity and although it has good water solubility it is not hydroscopic or deliquescent as most calcium salts are (e.g. calcium chloride, calcium acetate, etc.). Calcium propionate also forms water solutions with very high concentrations of soluble calcium ions by virtue of the low molecular weight of the propionic acid ligand. Calcium ions being multivalent PG,7 ions, complex anionic polymers and soaps. It is believed that the early washout resistance of the resultant coating is the result of multivalent metal ion precipitation of the anionic polymers used to emulsify the water insoluble resin and the anionic polymers, salts, and soaps used to disperse the pigments in the finished coating. The anionic polymers, salts, and soaps in the finished water-based coating of the previous prior art constitute the majority of the water sensitivity in the finished coating. By rendering these anionic polymers, salts and soaps water insoluble by cospraying with the calcium propionate solution the resulting coating mixture is rendered basically water insoluble en masse. Because of this the resultant coating mixture can be cosprayed to any thickness even on a vertical or overhead surface without running or sagging. This same coating mixture becomes virtually water insensitive almost immediately and can withstand the effects of a water hose within 60 seconds of its application even when sprayed on one inch thick in a single vertical application.
The ratio of coating as comprised in PART A to calcium propionate solution in PART B can be varied to infinitely control the rate of gelation of the resultant coating mixture. The useful ratio based on solids is 100 (PART A) /0.1 (PART B) up to 100 (PART A) /5 (PART B). The following example is provided to further illustrate the invention. This example should not be read as limiting the scope of the invention which is described in the claims.

Preferably the flocculating agent (PART B) and the roof mastic (PART A) are simultaneously applied to the substrate. In one embodiment, PART A and PART B are each sprayed as converging or overlapping streams and mix in the state of mist as they are applied to the substrate. The particular spraying machine used to apply the coating in the embodiment is not critical and includes any machine that can spray both PART A and PART B so that the spraying areas overlap. For example a spray gun having two spray nozzles (e.g., Binks Model 69GW plural component spray gun, Binks Manufacturing Co., Franklin Park, Ill.) can be used.
At the ratio of 100 (PART A) /5 (PART B) the mixture of the above example will literally gell in the air as it is being cosprayed and will be able to withstand a water hose after 60 seconds even when sprayed continuously on a vertical or overhead surface until it is one inch thick.
As an alternative to simultaneous cospraying, PART B (flocculating agent) can be sprayed as a second coating on top of PART A(roof mastic). Although the results are not as impressive as cospraying, this alternative approach would prevent early washout but you would lose the benefit of being able to spray the roof mastic composition to any thickness desired on a vertical or overhead surface.
It is the object of the present invention to provide washout resistant exterior coatings that can be applied virtually to any thickness on a vertical or even an overhead surface. This invention advantageously provides a coating process which can be used to formulate exterior water-based coatings, including roof mastics, which quickly develop resistance to being washed away by any amount of precipitation. This invention permits coatings applicators to work despite weather forecasts which would rule out the application of prior art water-based coatings at thicknesses that would cover virtually any application requirement horizontal, vertical, or overhead. Because the curing mechanism of the present invention works independently of the ambient humidity, the coatings and roof mastics detailed can be considered for use in parts of the country where the high average humidity has precluded the use of water-based coatings in general. This would in general expand the use of water based coatings throughout the year instead of just the summer months. This in general would reduce the use of solvent based coatings in the months of the year when a water based coating of the prior art simply would not dry. The environmental impact of this invention when viewed on a national scope would greatly reduce the solvent emissions normally associated with solvent borne exterior coatings and roof mastics.

THREE armed drug dealers were killed in separate gunbattles while 16 others were arrested in a string of anti-narcotics operations in Bulacan on Tuesday and early morning Wednesday, Bulacan Police Provicial Office director, Colonel Lawrence B. Cajipe said.
In a report to Police Regional Office 3 director, Brigadier General Rhodel O. Sermonia, the official identified the slain suspects whom he said exchanged fire with officers after sensing they were about to be arrested as Nasrudin Ayao Ameril alia ‘Nash,’ Mark Jonathan Cagalingan and Angelito Enriquez.
Cajipe said Ameril, a man included in the watch list of the Philippine National Police and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, was killed in a shootout with undercover officers of the San Miguel Municipal Police Station under Lieutenant Col. Voltaire Rivera in Bgy. Sta. Rita Bata around 1:25 a.m. Tuesday.
Recovered from the slain man’s possession were 10 heat-sealed plastic sachets containing suspected shabu, the marked money paid to him by the poseur, a caliber .38 revolver with two spent cartridges and two live ammunition and assorted identification cards.
The suspect’s Toyota Vios with plate no. CAH 3453 was impounded by the local police.
The two other suspects were gunned down by members of the San Jose del Monte City Police Station headed by Lt. Col. Gil Domingo during a buy-bust operation which ended up in a firefight in Bgy Assumption around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The slain suspects yielded 34 plastic sachets containing the so-called ‘poor man’s cocaine,’ two improvised 12-gauge shotguns and the marked money they took from an agent during the sting.
Cajipe said the 16 other suspects, one of them a 17-year old male were arrested in separate buy-bust operations in the towns of San Ildefonso Sta. Maria, San Miguel, San Rafael and Balagtas and Malolos and San Jose del Monte cities.
He said four of the arrested adult suspects were Jerome Vargas, Mark Joseph Celon, Glenmar Dionisio and Joel Lacsina, all included in the PNP-PDEA watch list.
The others are Harold Bautista, Ma Jeonie Paraiso and Jordan Villegas, all included in the watch list of Bulacan police stations and Edward Alcañices, Noemi Montilla, Janet Elloranda, Sarah Socor, Alfred Dingwasen, Jennifer Maragrag, Ace Ventura and Mico Borja.
Recovered from the suspects were 42 plastic sachets containing suspected shabu, the marked money paid to them by undercover officers and assorted drug paraphernalia.
