Every 20 seconds a child dies somewhere in the world of a disease that can be prevented by a vaccine.
Pediatric Health Associates is trying to raise awareness for the World Health Organization about childhood immunizations. There are still many areas of the world where children still contract conditions such as measles, chickenpox, pertussis and pneumonia. In fact, people flying to/from those parts of the world may have been exposed to these illnesses and bring them back home to the U.S. Currently there is a pertussis (whooping cough) outbreak going on in several states and you have heard of several stories over the years of college students in one area having the measles.
• Autism---the research was debunked.
necessarily agree with it, we respect it.
for those who don’t the health department can provide the vaccines for an
extremely low price (around $10).
• Diseases are under control in this country---YES! Because of children
being vaccinated! BUT as we have seen in unimmunized populations,
outbreaks of pertussis are currently in the news and measles pops up in the
news almost every year.
We cannot afford to be lax about immunizations because of the low prevalence of outbreaks. Doing so will eventually bring these back into the population in epidemic proportions.
Think it doesn’t happen here in Naperville? Think again! We have seen here at PHA several cases of chickenpox and pertussis this year. Many cases were in children who did not travel out of the country but were exposed by someone who came into our country—could have been a total stranger who happened to sneeze or cough when you passed by.
The World Health Organization (WHO) not only wants to raise awareness of outbreaks here in this country but worldwide. For those in third world countries, children still die every day from preventable diseases. It seems so very far away but as a parent we ask you to walk in their shoes for just a moment and think how you would feel if it was your child who was dying from something that could have been prevented?
WHO asks that you consider making a donation to their “ShotatLife” initiative to provide immunizations for children living in third world countries. Did you know that just $1 will protect a child from measles? $5 covers both measles and polio! Can you even believe polio is still around? Who knows….the shot you provide might just prevent children here from catching a disease. You can make a donation online at https://secure.globalproblems-globalsolutions.org/site/SPageNavigator/SAL_Donate.html
Help decrease the number of vaccine preventable deaths in developing countries by nearly 2 million lives and reduce the risk of global outbreaks coming to the U.S.

The Staggering Girl (2019, Luca Guadagnino)
Luca’s follow-up to Suspiria Remake is… a fashion ad, and from the writer of The Current War, weirdly. I’ve watched other attempts at taking the fashion money and making a short film. This one lacks the nudity of the Carax and the creepy coolness of the Martel, and is overall not very interesting – but at least in this one I really noticed the clothes, so it arguably does its job better than the others. The Tsangari museum ad still beats ’em all.
Anyway, I barely remember this, but took some notes at least:
Julianne comes home with flowers to an empty apt, talks with Kyle on phone
The woman in yellow disappears
Nice whispery horror soundtrack
I think Kyle is Julianne’s painter mom’s assistant.
Now the woman who disappears is in pink.
Mia Goth with whoever plays Young Julianne:
Original Cast Album: Company (1970, DA Pennebaker)
We watched this doc on Criterion because it’s newly available after being hard to see for years, and it’s talked-about online… but mostly because I wanted to do my homework for the next season of Documentary Now! Stephen Sondheim wrote some overcomplicated songs, he and the recording engineers fret over the performances, especially Elaine Stritch, who is saved till late night, then convinced to come back the next day and re-record.
We also watched a couple of shorts on Criterion… I think Michigan Avenue, and a jazz short, possibly A Rhapsody in Black and Blue, but I’d better not count those, since I can’t even recall for sure which ones they were.
It would’ve been cool to see this live, but our $480 tickets to see the touring company from the Fox balcony were refunded, and instead we watched the original cast up close in HD for free, and I’m not complaining. After all the Clipping I’ve been listening to, I’d hoped Daveed Diggs would be cooler as Lafayette… but then in the second half he’s super cool as Jefferson.
Cowboy Bebop (1998)
Firefly ripped this off quite a bit, eh? When it originally aired I thought this show wasn’t for me… in my defense, that might’ve been a knee-jerk stance from being surrounded by anime kids in college. Pretty excellent, our two main dudes accumulating shipmates, each with their own skills, competing for bounties, then finally the gang breaks up.
I’ve gotta see Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, which I’m just now learning about. The same team worked on Macross Plus, Samurai Champloo, Wolf’s Rain, and Space Dandy.
Fleabag season 1 (2016)
Really good, short series, based on a stand-up show that I tried to watch afterwards but it’s the same stories told in the same way, so I bailed after a half hour. Phoebe Waller-Bridge runs the guinea pig-themed cafe she co-owned with her late friend Boo, steals from her stepmother Olivia Colman, and torments her dad (Bill Paterson, who I just saw in Colin Burstead) and sister (Sian Clifford).
Superjail! season 3 (2012)
Opens in Ultrajail with the Warden as inmate, so I thought this season might end up having some kind of stakes, but nope, that was a one-off, then we’re back to the usual ultraviolence. This show is a LOT – I can’t even look directly at the screen the whole time or else my brain and eyes get overloaded, but it’s a good thing to half-watch while reading the news.
Rick & Morty season 4 (2020)
401: Akira, fascism, holograms, crystals that show you how you’ll die
402: Rick defends his private toilet from intruders, Jerry develops matchmaking app with an alien
403: R&M visit a heist convention, put a crew together, and pit Heistotron vs. Randotron
404: R gets M a dragon, Jerry has a talking cat
405: Morty interrupts a society of racist snakes causing time-travel chaos, Jerry floats
406: Narrative train!
407: Alien facehugger mind control
408: Vat of acid, Morty gets ability to save his place, vat of acid
409: “I fucked a planet”
410: star wars episode with an unexpected Don’t Look Now reference
Bonus: Samurai & Shogun anime short mashing up R&M with Lone Wolf & Cub.
A Touch of Cloth (2012)
Looking for something lightweight to watch, I found this TV movie cowritten by Charlie Brooker, and it was just the trick. All visual puns and word games delivered straight-faced, a la Police Squad or Airplane. It’s a cop mystery, and I think their boss (guy from The Hour) ends up being the culprit. Director Jim O’Hanlon did the Romola Garai/Jonny Lee Miller Emma. A few weeks later I made it a half hour into the second of three Cloth movies, but pulled the plug, only writing “oh noooo it’s all the same jokes.”
Lodge 49 season 1 (2018)
Ex-pool-guy Dud (Wyatt Russell from the fear-VR Black Mirror) and restaurant worker Liz (Sonya Cassidy of a bunch of UK miniseries) are in the dumps after their deeply-in-debt father apparently killed himself, until Dud finds a new sense of purpose at the local (also doomed by debt) Lynx lodge. I picked up this show after reading Vikram in Vulture, and loved about every minute of it. Dud sees signs everywhere, thinks everything is fate, and it’s never clear whether he’s delusional or on to something big – shades of Inherent Vice and Under the Silver Lake.
Sovereign Protector Larry: Kenneth Welsh, a boss in Survival of the Dead, Windom Earle in Twin Peaks
Future S.P. and Dud’s reluctant mentor Ernie: Brent Jennings (Moneyball, The Serpent and the Rainbow)
Ernie’s secret squeeze Connie: professional mom Linda Emond (Ryan Gosling’s mom in Song to Song, Evan Rachel Wood’s mom in Across the Universe, Logan Lerman’s mom in Indignation)
Connie’s husband Scott: Eric Kramer, Little John in the Mel Brooks Robin Hood
New Age Blaise: David Pasquesi, Veep’s ex-husband
Notable non-Lynxes: Pawnbroker Burt… Brian Doyle-Murray as Ernie’s Boss… Bruce Campbell as Captain… Ernie’s coworker Beautiful Jeff… Dud’s depressed temp boss Gloria… Hot Librarian Emily… Liz’s fling “Corporate”… Surfer Alice… Fake Lodge agent Avery (lead singer of All-American Rejects)… and Real Lodge agent Jocelyn.
Tim & Eric’s Bedtime Stories season 2 (2017)
Piano salesman Eric’s boss Tim is obsessed with baklava.
Scratchoff gambler/mesmer Ray Wise steals Jorge Garcia’s wife Rhea Pearlman
The return of angelboy Scotty, featuring Bubbles
Very bad air traffic controller Will Forte takes a break, feat. Veep’s daughter and aww, Fred Willard
Gross dude gets a free trial workout at an auto-gym.
And T&E play lesbians Belle & Bonnie, whose adopted son is sold to a rich guy.
Alan Partridge’s Scissored Isle (2016)
Alan goes to different parts of Britain to try to bring harmony to the people… something like that, anyway. I forget how he gets locked into a warehouse over a weekend, but I recall that the whole adventure was started after someone filmed him attempting an insult joke. “The footage went viral,” he tells us, while the screen says 150 views. This was after the great Partridge movie, between Mid Morning Matters and This Time.
Also watched an episode each of Sherman’s Showcase, Final Space,
Avenue 5, and The Last O.G., none of which seems essential.
We enjoyed the quarantine reunion special of Parks & Rec.
Katy and I checked out each other’s shows in which characters burst into song, but I didn’t love Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and she couldn’t stand Lipstick On Your Collar. We settled on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, but now it’s been three months since episode one…
After reading reviews I decided to watch half of The Twilight Zone 2019 season 1. Nightmare at 30,000 Feet confirmed my worst fears: instead of a goblin on the flight, it’s a podcast. Fun to watch Adam Scott anyway, so I made it through, but then the next two episodes I tried opened with cops, and that’s not the kind of story I was looking for that particular week.

Pre-game: 6:35pm LeafsTV
Broadcast: 7:30pm TSN, AM640
Tuesday, Mar 17, 2009, 7:35 PM EDT
St. Pete Times Forum
It took twelve years for the fans of the Tampa Bay Lightning to go from their franchise's first game to their Stanley Cup victory in 2004. Please don't let the Leafs' take that long.
The only standings that matter
Mirtle has a look at the latest in the Tank for Tavares competition. The Thrashers have picked the absolutely worst time to win six games in a row. They could have been just two points ahead of the Islanders and had a chance to draft John Tavares (duh). That would be a huge development with regard to Illya Kovalchuk because you could then sign him because he's excited to get a good linemate or trade him for a tonne of prospects that would help the everlasting rebuild. Then again, Don Waddell is still in charge.
Anyway, these two teams played just five days before and Ben Ondrus is probably looking forward to renewing acquaintances with his new best friend:
"Maybe someone beats the crap out of him and he doesn't do it again," Ondrus said. "I was standing there and he put his stick between my legs and he tried to lift me up or something, I don't know what he was doing. I don't think he speaks a word of English so that was another problem."
Turns out Artyukhin does speak English!
"Tell him I speak English," he said.
But Ondrus still doesn't want to fight:
"I'm not planning anything," he said. "Fighting's not the thing I'm going out there looking for. But every game is different. No one likes to be picked on."
Really? His Hockey Fights fight card suggests otherwise as he's been in four fights in just under two weeks. I guess technically he's not going out there looking for fights. He's out there looking to take a beating. Or maybe he got a good look at Artyukhin's stats:
Yeah, no one needs to go fight Sasquatch in a losing season.
So it's Maple Leafs at the Lightning on TSN! Whoever chose this matchup should get fired. And don't forget your SPG Picks.

Ilkley Town Council has learnt that the cost of the Parish Poll to challenge the 20mph scheme will cost the council over £40,000, money that will come out of the ‘local pot’.
The poll was voted for by residents attending a town meeting called for by the Ilkley Road Safety Action Group (IRSAG) last October held at the King’s Hall.
34.71% of Ilkley electors voted in the Parish Poll, with the majority voting no to the planned Bradford Council scheme to introduce a town wide 20mph speed restriction with traffic calming. The result of the poll was non-binding and Bradford Council has started implementing the scheme.
Ilkley Town Council had pledged £87,500 to Bradford Council towards the scheme.
At this month’s full Ilkley Town Council meeting, councillors were told the total cost would be £44,637.24, much more that the £30,000 that had been estimated.
Ilkley Mayor, Cllr Karl Milner, who had called it a ‘Zombie Poll’ said: “IRSAG and the Tory councillors who backed them were told several times how much this would cost and that the poll was pointless as the decision had been made. They refused to listen to that and in a red-mist put an extra 50% on to price we have paid to Bradford for the 20mph scheme. What a ridiculous waste of everyone else’s money. The least they should do is apologise to local tax payers.”
Councillors resolved at the meeting to ask Bradford Council for a breakdown of costs in relation to the scheme.
Cllr Steve Butler on behalf of the Conservative councillors on the town council said: "The invoice received from Bradford MDC for last year’s Parish Poll is for £44,637.24 (including VAT of £3,398.85) so the Town Council will have to pay a maximum of £41,238.39.
"Although the Conservative councillors on the Town Council did not call the Parish Poll, we entirely support the right of our electorate to do so. If the residents had been listened to properly the Parish Poll would not have been demanded. It took place because the Town Mayor used his casting vote to go against the wishes of the majority of our residents who clearly opposed the proposed scheme for a town-wide 20mph zone and speed humps. It is shameful that the results of the consultation process, the voices of residents who attended the largest meetings ever organised by the Town Council and the results of the Parish Poll have all been ignored. The Conservative councillors will query why the cost of the Poll was so high but feel that this is just the price to be paid when democracy is ignored."
James Stretton from IRDAG said the group would respond once the breakdown of costs had been made public.


Sheet & Tube name rises from the ashes — online
By Jordyn Grzelewski
For decades after its creation in 1900, the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. embodied the link between city and steel.
A home-grown operation, Sheet & Tube was founded by industrialists who wished to retain local control of the city’s manufacturing industry. In its prime it did so with remarkable success, eventually ranking among the country’s top steel companies.
Then came the infamous industry collapse in the late 1970s.
The S&T name languished along with its abandoned mills.
Then, in late 2013, a group of Youngstown natives discovered that Sheet & Tube’s trademark, name and logo had expired, and acquired the rights. Justin Mistovich, Ron Mistovich and James Berry today operate www.sheetandtube.com, which sells consumer goods featuring the historic company logo and encourages visitors to add to a community historical record.
Their aim is to keep the memory of the steel era alive and contribute to the local economy.
“What have we learned over the past decades? Economics can crush a town, but can’t kill the spirit of its people. Youngstown survived. Hardened, wizened, smaller, but the blue-collar grit and determination, the hometown pride and humbleness could not be quieted. In this spirit, we bring back The Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company,” reads a blog post on the website.
Eventually, the company leaders’ goal is to set up shop in the city and manufacture metal products and branded apparel there. For now, they’re starting small with an online shop where visitors can purchase items such as T-shirts, tote bags and mugs emblazoned with the black and rusty-orange S&T logo.
Once the company turns a profit, the plan is to pour some of those funds back into the community with donations to local organizations dedicated to economic revitalization.
For its founders, the project is personal.
Justin Mistovich, 35, a surgeon who now lives in Cleveland, recalls growing up in the Youngstown area in the years after the steel industry’s collapse. The family connection to S&T is ingrained in him; one grandfather worked in the mail room at company headquarters; his father and uncle worked at the mills for a time; and his other grandfather owned a bar across the street from one of the plants.
“The whole community was kind of united around the industry,” he said. “We decided this would be an easy way to try to keep some of this stuff alive.”
In addition to the Sheet & Tube website, the group also acquired rights to the names of other shuttered Youngstown staples, such as Strouss’, the downtown department store he remembers visiting as a child. Visitors to the Sheet & Tube website will find links to affiliated brands, including Strouss’, the Stambaugh-Thompson Online Hardware Store and the Youngstown Club.
The company has received orders from all over the country, Justin Mistovich said, and sometimes customers will share stories of why they left the area and comment on their pride in being from Youngstown.
That’s just the kind of response that Sheet & Tube wants.
“I think any time you have a community that’s been besieged by such bad luck and economic decimation, it’s important to have a sense of pride for what we were,” he said.
“Youngstown is unlike anywhere else in the country. ... I think this kind of captures that spirit of Youngstown, and I think it’s a great way to say, ‘Hey, we’re from here.’”

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (CBS19 NEWS) -- The last few days have been very cold in the area, and those temperatures are impacting one local homeless shelter.
On Monday, Charlottesville saw a high in the 70s, but just 24 hours later, temperatures dropped to below freezing.
Organizations that help the homeless reacted when the weather forecast called for the cold.
"Spent the last few weeks trying to tell a lot of our folks that we thought were going to need our shelters that they needed to start planning for it," said Jayson Whitehead, the executive director of PACEM. "When a cold snap like this happens, it is definitely hard to get their attention and for those that need us, it really pushes them for them to come in and see if we have space."
PACEM, which means People and Congregations Engaged in Ministry, provides shelter for the homeless from October to April each year, and with the recent cold, that shelter filled up quickly.
"We have been full the last two nights already and its only early November," added Whitehead.
During the last two seasons, the overnight shelter has also seen the number of people in need go up.
"The last two seasons, we really started to see a higher number," said Whitehead. "There was even a stretch last January where there was even an overflow every night. So, we are anticipating something similar to that again."
The National Alliance to End Homelessness says there are more than 180 people in homeless shelters in Charlottesville on any given night.
"It is definitely on the rise in Virginia and in our community," said Stephen Hitcock, the executive director of the Haven. "However, organizations are increasingly committed to housing people who are at risk or who are experiencing homelessness, whether it's PACEM or the Region Ten or the Haven."
That commitment is to more than just serve them when it's cold. The organizations want to help the homeless get off the streets.
"Our whole continuum service that is providing wraparound support with our folks and hopefully getting them off the streets ultimately," Whitehead said.

Each Baby Is Special might be my first Bollywood movie. Once more, e-ticketing theaters did not have a limited number of movies or showtimes, however there are considerably less theaters providing e-ticketing by way of MoviePass, screwing over many moviegoes this weekend and leaving new releases like The Meg and BlacKkKlansman out within the wind.

And sometimes you are asked to pay moreover, if you want to switch your movies to a disk. Doris Day, Louis Jourdan, Barry Sullivan, Frank Lovejoy, Jack Kelly, Ann Robinson, Jack Kruschen, Mae Marsh.
It’s unclear whether or not Superman will appear in this but if the rumors are true that Warner Bros and DC Entertainment are looking to create a brand new template for future Superman movies, this would appear a possible place to hatch a brand new persona. Every story of a movie is kind of inspired by our life, by what occurs around us.
Hollywood does not create a set for each film or television program that comes along. Folks prefer the P2P file sharing networks as a result of that is the one possibility for watching new movies and the most recent blockbusters completely free of charge. This weekend it was also noted that the showtimes available for purcahse by way of MoviePass, no less than on the AMC Empire 25 in Times Sq., weren’t all that handy for a night out on the movies.
Another difference is that within the 1968 film, Mercutio and the Prince appear as Caucasians whereas in the 1997 movie, they’re each African American, giving the movie extra diversity within the characters. Marvel goes all-out to mark the tenth birthday of its Cinematic Universe, and that includes upgrading the standard of the movies themselves.
We’re just making an attempt to avoid wasting our service to have the ability to be obtainable long run.” He added that the two movies available could change with every day. Within the film’s witty coda, our disgraced heroes drive off into an uncertain future, while a well-known set of golden arches being erected in the distance signals an essential new enterprise venture on the rise.
Getting paid good cash for your movie critiques isn’t about the way in which you write them or on what movies you write about. Many individuals would possibly like to see such sequence proceed on. The Twilight saga itself is laced with subplots and characters that could probably be used to supply profitable spin-off films and other franchises.

There is an old adage in sports that says “you play for the name on the front of the jersey, not the one on the back,” and that will never be truer for the Athletica on May 16. This Sunday, when the Athletica take on defending WPS Champions Sky Blue FC, they will take the field wearing a special uniform commemorating the Athletica’s involvement with the Susan G. Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure®.
The uniforms will be an all white kit with pink lettering and numbering. They have names of local breast cancer survivors, and relatives or friends of Athletica players who have battled breast cancer. Each player will have a different name on the front of the uniform allowing the team to honor 22 different individuals.
“Wearing the names of these women who have battled breast cancer on our jersey is just a small way we can honor them and everyone who has ever been diagnosed with the disease. We feel like we are bringing them onto the field with us by doing this, and I think it will be inspiring to pull those jerseys on before the game on Sunday,” said Athletica captain Lori Chalupny.
PUMA has also designed a specific pink game ball to be used exclusively for the match.
Saint Louis Athletica will be serving as the honorary Race co-chairs for the June 12 Race for the Cure® event, and they will be having a Race registration drive at the match on Sunday. Game time is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. at The Anheuser-Busch Soccer Park.

National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty
Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law
Washington, DC—On Thursday, January 15th, the states of Oklahoma and Florida are scheduled to conduct their first executions of 2015 by putting to death Charles Frederick Warner and Johnny Kormondy, respectively. Although the national observance is the following Monday, January 15th also marks the birthday of renowned nonviolent civil rights activist and anti-death penalty advocate Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his efforts in combating racial inequality through nonviolence. Dr. King said of the death penalty, “I do not think that God approves of the death penalty for any crime, rape and murder included. Capital punishment is against the better judgment of modern criminology and above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God.”
Said Diann Rust-Tierney, Executive Director of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, and Barbara Arnwine, Executive Director of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law:
“The death penalty has no place within the moral framework of a more peaceful and just society, for which Dr. King gave his life Oklahoma and Florida mar the remembrance of this great man by choosing his birthday as the day for executions. . All who honor the memory of Dr. King must be jarred and disturbed by the sad spectacle of two executions on the day that marks his birth. We are appalled by the lack of sensitivity and poor judgment being demonstrated here.”


Magnetic Janus particles synthesized using droplet micro-magnetofluidic techniques for protein detection
Magnetic droplets on a microfluidic platform can act as micro-robots, providing wireless, remote, and programmable control. This field of droplet micro-magnetofluidics (DMMF) is useful for droplet merging, mixing and synthesis of Janus structures. Specifically, magnetic Janus particles (MJP) are useful for protein and DNA detection as well as magnetically controlled bioprinting. However, synthesis of MJP with control of the functional phases is a challenge. Hence, we developed a high flow rate, surfactant-free, wash-less method to synthesize MJP by integration of DMMF with hybrid magnetic fields. The effects of the flow rate, flow rate ratio, and hybrid magnetic field on the magnetic component of the Janus droplets and the MJP were investigated. It was found that the magnetization, particle size, and phase distribution inside MJP could be readily tuned by the flow rates and the magnetic field. The magnetic component in the MJP could be concentrated after mixing at flow rate ratio values less than 7.5 and flow rates less than 3 ml h−1. The experimental results and our simulations are in good agreement. The synthesized magnetic–fluorescent Janus particles were used for protein detection, with BSA as a model protein.

IF ANY trailer, truck body, or truck equipment manufacturer still believes his is a local or regional business, he has not bought steel lately.
Even the smallest manufacturer is competing with countries all over the world for the privilege of buying one of the world's basic building blocks.
And just as the sound of an approaching freight train can be heard farther away by putting an ear to the steel rails, the repercussions in the steel market are being heard loud and clear by those who fabricate steel, those who sell or install the finished products, and those who buy them.
According to London's Metal Bulletin, the world-market price of cold-rolled steel has gone from $375 per metric ton in July 2003 to $440 by the end of January. While this is a huge jump at a time when inflation has been historically low, it is not as severe as the additional increases some trailer and truck body manufacturers are reporting in early February — 30% and more.
As one of the speakers at the recent National Association of Trailer Manufacturers convention said, it's possible for a butterfly to flap its wings and eventually generate a storm on the other side of the world — which is exactly the location of China relative to the Western world.
The strong Chinese economy is one of several contributors to the current turbulence in the steel market. According to The Birmingham Post of the United Kingdom, China now consumes 30% of the world's steel supply — which has kept Chinese steel producers busy selling steel for domestic consumption instead of for export.
And it is not just U S manufacturers feeling the pinch. In the industrial heartland of the U K, rising steel prices are viewed as a greater threat to the area's fledgling economic recovery than a quarter per cent rise in interest from the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee. The Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and Industry says that as a result of Chinese demand for steel, imports of steel into the UK have been drying up, The Birmingham Post reported.
Of course, it's easy to point to China for the turbulence in steel pricing, but there are other factors that hit closer to home. The steel market is still feeling the effects of the now-you-see-them-now-you-don't tariffs the United States had in place last year on imported steel.
Ironically, the devaluation of the U S dollar may have done more to revitalize the domestic steel industry than anything positive the tariffs accomplished. Suddenly, thanks to the sagging dollar, U S producers have a pricing advantage.
Unfortunately, the tight supply and resulting escalation in prices comes at a time when the long-awaited upturn in truck body and trailer demand finally arrived. Those manufacturers who saw the upswing coming increased orders sharply in the third quarter. But as one manufacturer told us, “I sure would not want to have empty shelves at the end of February.”
Some manufacturers are placing the blame at the feet of domestic manufacturers, saying that the surcharges demanded by the steel industry are an effort to recoup losses caused by past mismanagement and poor decisions.
The increase is hitting small manufacturers particularly hard. By contrast, General Motors reportedly has informed steel suppliers that the world's largest automaker has no intention of paying surcharges and fully expects steel companies to honor their contracts. The truck body and trailer manufacturers we know, however, do not have the financial clout of GM. Instead, the ones we have talked to are honoring the quotations they gave customers and are absorbing the cost increase themselves.
The pinch is especially painful for dump body manufacturers whose product is made almost exclusively of steel. Other manufacturers are feeling it, too. “Add up the steel we use and the steel components that we install, and more than half of our trailers are steel,” a platform trailer manufacturer told us recently.
Manufacturers are expecting the pricing turbulence to continue into the second quarter, with stability returning for the second half of this year.
If we were resourceful enough to make it through the last few years, we will make it through this, too. But we in the U S no longer are local, regional, or even national players. The guys at Disney got it right years ago. It's a small world after all. And our small, small world is linked together tighter than ever before.

Gov. Baker makes ceremonial departure from the Statehouse
On the final evening of his eight years in office, Gov. Charlie Baker took his ceremonial final steps through the corridors and out to the Beacon Street sidewalk Wednesday. It's called the "lone walk," but he was hardly alone, accompanied by his lieutenant governor and their spouses, and cheered on by scores of well-wishers throughout the capitol.
One of Baker's former chiefs of staff, Steve Kadish, reflected on watching his friend of more than 30 years "grow in every single role that he's done," which spans Baker's tenures as an undersecretary, leading two secretariats, turning around Harvard Pilgrim Health Care as CEO, and his present role.
"I mean he was always so smart, but he has grown so much with his compassion for people and so seeing this [the lone walk] is watching really a great man finish this chapter of his life. So I'm sad, I'm proud, I've got great respect and admiration," Kadish told the News Service.
Kadish left the governor's employ in 2017, and they later coauthored a book together. For current administration officials watching Wednesday's ceremony, it was a transition not just for Baker but for them, too.
Education Secretary Jim Peyser started with Baker on Day One -- the day after the 2014 election -- leading his transition team. He's one of two Cabinet secretaries (with Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders) to have served through the entirety of both terms. It's the end of a chapter for them.
"I mean, I'm feeling good. I think this administration accomplished a lot, I feel we did a lot in education as well, and I think it's great to leave on a note where you feel you've left something behind. I think we have," said Peyser.
Former Housing and Economic Development Secretary Jay Ash said he was happy Baker and Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito were "going out on their own terms," and he viewed Wednesday's proceedings as more of a celebration of accomplishment.
"So it's a lot of sad faces about 'this is the end,' but collectively over eight years, there's been a lot of good things happening, we're feeling pretty good about it," Ash, one of the Democrats to serve in top roles under Baker, said.
One of the Legislature's two top Democrats, Senate President Karen Spilka, offered that it was a "bittersweet" night in view of how they "work[ed] together to accomplish a lot," and Rep. Smitty Pignatelli, a Western Mass. Democrat, said he was there "paying my respect" to an administration that's "been a good partner."
"It's not only historical, and I don't think party politics has anything to do with it, it's a special time. I think we've had a tremendous eight years of working together, and I'm going to miss the governor. I'll especially miss the lieutenant governor. I think she's reshaped that entire position for the next lieutenant governor and lieutenant governors to come," Pignatelli said.
Auburn Republican Rep. Paul Frost said he respected how Baker and Polito "carried themselves" and paid attention to everyone's local districts, and called it "a sad day, indeed."
"It's an historical moment, of course, whenever this happens, and part of the changing of the guard, but the opportunity to see it -- and see two people that I care about leave a job that they did a great job of, and you know, most popular governor in the country, so it goes without saying you're sad to see them leave. And we'll see what the new era brings," Frost told the News Service.
That new era -- Gov.-elect Maura Healey and Lt. Gov.-elect Kim Driscoll -- paid a customary visit to the governor's office at 1:58 p.m. Wednesday for a ceremonial transfer of the symbols of the office during a private meeting that lasted close to 45 minutes.
In addition to the artifacts that change hands between governors, Baker also presented Healey with a token of his own -- a military challenge coin in remembrance of SFC Jared Monti of Abington, a fallen soldier who served with the 10th Mountain Division in Afghanistan.
Polito presented Driscoll with the gavel used to preside over Governor's Council meetings, and Baker handed another gavel made from the original frame of the USS Constitution to Healey.
Also handed over were the "Butler Bible," a volume of Holy Scripture left behind by Gov. Benjamin Butler in 1884 for the use of his successors; a large skeleton key which, in days of old, opened the door to what is now the governor's corner office; and volumes of the Mass. General Laws which since 1860 have been inscribed with short, handwritten messages from one governor to the next.
Baker's press secretary did not provide the contents of Baker's note to Healey. Unlike Baker's meeting with then-Gov. Deval Patrick in 2015, there was no champagne on the menu, Press Secretary Terry MacCormack said, and the fireplace wasn't lit.
Before he made his exodus from Room 360 later in the day, Gold Star Mothers and military servicemembers were keeping vigil in the Memorial Hall, and outside Baker's office stood to rows of Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company members lining the corridor. One of the Ancients closest to the door was Enoch "Woody" Woodhouse, one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen.
The Ancients, who serve as the governor's ceremonial honor guard, came to attention at 5:04 p.m. and Baker walked out of the office for the final time as governor.
The ceremony was a few minutes behind schedule, and Scott Conway, one of Baker's old advance staff from earlier in his tenure, was on hand outside the House Chamber to wave them on and get the parade moving down the hall.

Continental is expanding its global automated driving development efforts with testing on the autobahn in Germany.
The top shops in America realize that in order to build a successful business they will need to have team players that are self-starters who can produce and who will never compromise their ethics.
Ford Motor Co. has introduced Motorcraft Super Duty Diesel Motor Oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C171-F1. The company recommends its use in Ford Power Stroke Diesel engines.
Continental’s had a good run of it in the spate of tyre tests published in time for summer 2017. From victory in the main Auto Bild summer tyre test to wins in those conducted by Auto Bild Sportscars, GTÜ and Gute Fahrt, the Continental Premium Contact 6 and SportContact 6 were deemed amongst the best that money can buy. It thus came as a surprise to see a Conti tyre sitting near the tail end of the newest Auto Bild test table.

After Samsung Galaxy S23 launch, it’s time to talk about the next addition to the S lineup. And accordingly, we have already started hearing some tweaks saying that Samsung could equip the tech-pack Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset to its Galaxy S24 handsets.
As per the details shown by the well-known tipster @RGcloudS on the Twitter platform, Qualcomm initiated its hustles on its successor chip – Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and we could see its first glimpse in the Samsung Galaxy S24 handsets.
Follow RPRNA on Google News
In addition, the blogger also mentioned, the Galaxy S24 series smartphones that use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for the processor will help the Korean tech maker to outperform Apple iPhone 15 series’ A17 Bionic chipset frequency, at least on paper.
Join Us On Telegram
Currently, the report suggests that the forthcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset will feature a single high-performance Cortex-X4 core that will be clocked at 3.7GHz. Consequently, this will form a chipset with a 15% performance boost compared to the 3.2GHz clock speed of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Besides, it will be much faster than the Galaxy S23 specialized Snapdragon chip featuring a 3.36GHz clock speed. At the same time, the new processor could also come with four additional performance cores and three efficiency cores to ensure optimum performance for all sorts of use cases, similar to the predecessor.

Subject: I have found a CD that I think you would enjoy
Similarly Requested CDs
Let the Sun Shine In
Astro-Black | Plainsboro, New Jersey, USA | 09/04/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This CD is or should be significant to Sun Ra listeners. It constitutes one of Sun Ra's last studio sessions prior to his first in a series of strokes which ended his earthly life on May 30, 1993.While one can quibble with such fancifully detached notions as whether this represents the best value for the money, the true worth of the album resides in several other non-material dimensions. For example, the arrangement of "Somewhere Else" played here is
very different in feeling and tone than that offered on the album "My Brother the Wind, Vol. II". Apart from this, the tone, touch, and strength that Sun Ra displays in his piano playing, illustrates why he must be considered among the very greatest innovators, composers and arrangers ever produced by the music. His versatility and accessibility in a number of different "idioms" of so called Jazz is completely unparalleled by anyone in Jazz history including the Titans like Ellington, Henderson, Monk, Mingus, Coltrane, and others.The real Treasure of this release however is " A Hole in the Sky". Don Cherry (Pocket Trumpet), Marshall Allen (Alto), Pat Patrick (Alto) complemented and spurred by Sun Ra's energy and drive on synthesizer really paint a vivid picture of the range
of new energies and new possibilities that might positively and supra-energetically flow into our lives if a figurative "Hole in the Sky" were opened. By the way listen carefully to the propulsively energetic ensemble drumming (Bugs Hunter, Luqman Ali, Lex Humphries or Samuri Walker)in this composition, it is among the very best you are likely to hear for quite a while.Another sleeper here is "Everything is Space". This tune was previously released on a limited addition printed by the band during the mid-seventies. As with "Somewhere Else' it represents a very diffferent treatment than the initial release.On a bottom line basis, this CD not only contains histroical and artistic treasures, but also illustrates the fact that Sun Ra NEVER did a composition the same way twice. Among his many other musical virtues this characteristic places him in a class by himself."
Mostly outstanding outtakes from outer space
Astro-Black | 09/16/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I have to say up front- sometimes I can't tell "good jazz" from a guy with a saxophone falling down a flight of stairs. I know what I like and I like this. I tried to do some research on this CD and the best I can tell is that it is a collection of outtakes from A&M sessions released posthumously. I am probably in love with the concept of Sun Ra as interplanetary traveller more than I am with his music but this CD has much cool music that would not sound out of place in a lounge on Sun Ra's "home planet" of Saturn. Priest and Tristar have intriguing bass lines that open and close the CD. The centerpieces Somewhere Else Pts. 1 & 2 and Love in Outer Space really take me to another time and another place; the former to the past, the latter to the future. Everything Is Space is accompanied by a vocal chant that is awesome. Only a few tracks miss my ears, sounding more like noise than anything else. Discipline/Tall Trees on the Sun begins with some interesting snare work before devolving into atonal screeching. Overall, a very good album. If his leftovers are this good, I look forward to a real meal."
Sun Ra at his best
Michael Agostino | South Huntington, NY USA | 02/08/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I know absolutely nothing about music except that I have over 500 artist recordings and I know what I like. I can't believe this is #51 on the Sun Ra list. Nothing else I've heard from Sun Ra comes close to this package. Like the last person said, the bass line on 'Priest' is great. ''S Wonderful' is uplifting, but in a 60s game show kind of way. 'Somewhere Else Part I' is fast becoming my favorite on the album. The texture and rhythms up and down, back and forth is like a 40-year marriage. And 'Everything Is Space' is a proclamation from a soap box -- everyone likes to look at freaks. I have four Sun Ra albums. Janus is the worst. Long, live and boring. His early stuff is pretty good and tighter, more in sync with the jazz of yesteryear. But there is nothing he has that compares to this. Trust me."

Four scans from Captain America #601, Gene Colan's one-issue return to drawing (so, another candidate for "the last full comic illustrated by Gene Colan").
This was written about three years ago, I believe; I recall hearing some mention of it around then, though as an annual. The framing device is set circa Civil War #3-4, as Bucky (in his post-Winter Soldier, pre-Cap garb) talks with Nick Fury about one of their past adventures in a little town in Belgium, following Patton's raising the siege of Bastogne. Brubaker said he consulted with Colan as to what he was interested in drawing, and ended up with a mix of his Cap stuff and Tomb of Dracula. A vampire's on the loose, killin' folks, and Steve and Bucky are on the case. When the Wehrmacht originally rolled on through, one of the officers was a vampire, but he was long gone, leaving only his legacy behind. It seems they've uncovered the person behind it, one of the famous ladies participating in a USO show, but Cap is suspicious (since it's not clear how the departed vampire-Nazi could have been involved, and it seems unlikely they'd be unrelated).
Colan's one of the greats, but this reveal image lost a lot of its impact for me because I was focussed pretty much entirely on trying to figure out the perspective on that huge hand.

With the return to school in mind, I wanted to bring your attention to an article on the BBC website recently which claimed that nearly two-thirds of parents can’t afford after-school activities for children – the findings come from a survey of 854 parents conducted by Save the Children.
Previous research has shown that children who participate in after-school activities will experience a rise in confidence and adapt more easily to in-class learning; resulting in better exam performances and successes in later life, so it’s crucial that as many children as possible are given the opportunity to participate in after-school clubs, be that sports, music lessons or tuition classes.
But with over a fifth of parents estimating after-school club costs at £1000 a year, it’s easy to see why it’s a cost sacrificed before others.
If you’re keen to get your children into some after-school clubs this year but are worried that it’s going to be a stretch, don’t forget that Childcare Vouchers can be used for children up to 16 years old and are a great way to save money on after-school clubs. Why not speak to your employer about starting up a scheme if you do not already have one.
For more information on using Childcare Vouchers for after-school clubs, check out our Parent Pack, or contact us on 0845 002 1111.

text: Due to its outstanding thermal and chemical stability, single-crystal sapphire is a crucial material for high-temperature optical sensing applications. The potential for using hydrogen ion implantation to fabricate stable, high temperature optical waveguides in single crystal sapphire is investigated in this work. Hydrogen ions were implanted in c-plane sapphire with energies of 35 keV and 1 MeV and fluences 1016-1017/cm2. Subsequent annealing was carried out in air at temperatures ranging from 500˚C to 1200˚C. Complementary techniques were used to characterize the samples, including ellipsometry and prism coupling to examine optical properties, Rutherford backscattering/ion channeling for crystal defects, and nuclear reaction analysis for hydrogen profiling. Several guiding modes were observed in H-implanted (1 MeV) samples annealed above 800˚C through prism coupling, and a maximum index modification of 3% was observed in the 35 keV samples and 1% in the 1 MeV samples through ellipsometry, with the 1 MeV index variation being confirmed through prism coupling. The possible causes of the index modifications, such as H related defects, as well as implications for tailoring the refractive index of sapphire are discussed.

Ordinary mirrors are only able to see outer beauty, but now there is one that claims to see within.
The new Naked 3D Fitness Tracker is a $499 mirror that is able to produce a full 3D rendering of a person’s body in a matter of 20 seconds. Using Intel RealSense Depth Sensors, the Naked mirror can also give users a “heat map” of their body.
According to Mashable, Naked Labs in Silicon Valley is the mastermind behind the invention that utilizes Bluetooth-connected scales to deliver the information right to your smartphone app, which is compatible for iOS and Android. The Naked 3D Fitness Tracker helps chart the progress and change in a user’s body by showing him or her the areas that are growing muscle or shedding fat at that instant.
CEO and founder of Naked Labs, Farhad Farahbakhishian, said of the product:
“Our users have loved being able to see their bodies’ changes.”
Farahbakhishian has been beta-testing the Naked mirror with people since 2015 and says his subjects are very excited about the visual feedback they receive from the device. The app’s timelapse feature shows the physical changes in the body over time, which aims to help motivate people to stick to their fitness goals and plans.
While scales for measuring body fat percentage have an error rate of up to 8 percent, the technology used for Naked mirror measures accuracy to within 1.5 percent.
The product is available for pre-order April 14 and begins shipment in March 2017.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — In what’s been deemed the Live Music Capital of the World, those whose contributions have perhaps laid the foundation have one message: “There is no Austin without US.”
That’s the tagline for the month-long celebration put on by an organization called the Diversity Awareness and Wellness in Action (DAWA).
Where much of Austin’s musical soul is tied to, DAWA will showcase some of the city’s Black musicians at Antone’s Nightclub downtown, from June 8 through the 30 for Black Music Month. The first show will be on a Thursday night. The remaining performances will take place each Friday evening.
“This culture here that Austin celebrates is built off of black culture and black music,” Jonathan ‘Chaka’ Mahone, founder and director of DAWA said.
‘Austin’s best and brightest’
“From blues to rock, soul, hip hop, house, and country, the sonic imprint of Black musicians is indelible,” Mahone said. “We have been here, producing abundantly, but our incredible fruits have not necessarily benefited us directly due to the industry practices in music cities like Austin around the country.”
DJ, promoter, and producer Cecil ‘Starboy’ Lockwood, will be among performers.
“To have all of these amazing artists on the same lineup, every weekend? Stop playing,” Lockwood said.
Some have been given money from DAWA’S Black Live Music fund.
“Those funds, were able to just say, we see you doing your thing, being original giving back to the community,” Lockwood said. “And by giving funds that allows me to know, cool, somebody sees me and wants me to keep doing what I’m doing.”
Black Live Music Fund
The Black Live Music Fund was created in 2020, with the goal of recognizing and attempting to rectify years of racism, and a lack of granted opportunities for Black musicians in Austin, according to Mahone.
Now, the fund has $100,000 worth of ‘Thrive’ grant money from the City Austin’s Cultural Foundation. It will, for the next two years, support Black musicians in small and big ways.
“There needs to be a shift in who benefits most from the work that is created, and the Black Live Music Fund wants to create space for new standards that center the artist/creator,” Mahone said.
According to Mahone, the money will provide funds to help black musicians, promoters and studios sustain their careers, and continue to grow.
Austin’s Cultural Foundation
The City of Austin has vowed to invest in organizations that are deeply tied to diverse cultures throughout the area.
In fact, over the past few years, through cultural funding, the city has awarded millions of dollars to what it calls Austin’s creative community. The Thrive, Elevate and Nexus grants, the Economic Development Department has worked to obtain equity through its funding bank.
‘This is what we believe in’
New and old funding will support black musicians in small and big ways, while using Black Music month as a backdrop to spread awareness.
“We don’t have venues, we don’t have things that support us directly, because largely, it’s been built by other people,” Mahone said. “You have to invest…because if you don’t, then guess what, in a few years, you’ll be looking around, and there won’t be any black musicians in Austin.”
Mahone said DAWA has distributed $240,000 over the last few years through the DAWA Fund. He hopes the continue growing the Black Live Music Fund to help more people.
“This is where we’re at, this is what we’re doing, this is what we believe in,” Mahone said.

Theodor Herzl was an Austrian Jewish journalist and playwright best known for his critical role in establishing the modern State of Israel. His pamphlet Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State), published in 1896, helped launch Zionism as a modern political movement whose objective — the establishment of a Jewish homeland — Herzl spent the rest of his life advancing.
The term “Zionism” itself is attributed to another Austrian Jewish writer, Nathan Birnbaum, and the Jewish longing for a return to Zion — a biblical synonym for Jerusalem — is millennia old. But it was Herzl who was chiefly responsible for turning Zionism into a political project. Though he died decades before that project would come to fruition, Herzl is remembered today as Israel’s founding father, his grave located in Israel’s national cemetery in Jerusalem and his Hebrew birthday (the 10th of Iyar) observed as a national holiday. His portrait hangs today in the plenum hall of the Israeli Knesset.
Born in Budapest in 1860 to a family of assimilated German-speaking Jews, Herzl moved to Vienna as a boy and earned a degree in law from the University of Vienna. He later turned to journalism and playwriting, authoring more than a dozen works (mostly comedies) through the 1880s and ‘90s.
As a young man, Herzl believed Jews should seek to assimilate into European culture. According to several of his biographers, Herzl had an ambivalent relationship to his Jewish identity, both proud and ashamed, and sought to shed his distinctly Jewish traits and meld into the wider culture. But over time he came to lose faith in that approach. The conventional view has it that Herzl was deeply influenced by the trial of Alfred Dreyfus, a French-Jewish army captain falsely accused of treason in 1894. The case, which has come to be seen as a textbook example of enduring European hostility toward Jews, unfolded when Herzl was the Paris correspondent for the Viennese Neue Freie Presse. However, later scholars have suggested that Herzl’s transformation occurred earlier and that he played up the impact of the Dreyfus affair on his thinking only to win support for his political goals.
Either way, Herzl eventually came to believe in the futility of Jewish assimilation and efforts to combat anti-Semitism, promoting instead the idea that Jews should remove themselves from Europe and establish their own independent polity so as to secure their national rights. In Der Judenstaat, he proposed an independent state as the solution to the so-called “Jewish question” and laid out a detailed plan for its establishment. Herzl did not believe the Jewish state had to be established in the land of Israel. In Der Judenstaat, he considered both Palestine (then under Ottoman rule) and Argentina, writing that Jewish public opinion should determine which option was preferred. Later, he lent his support to the idea of a Jewish state in east Africa.
Though Herzl was inspired by the plight of Jews in Europe, his writings presented the Jewish question as a universal one. “The Jewish question exists wherever Jews live in perceptible numbers,” he wrote in Der Judenstaat, adding:
Where it does not exist, it is carried by Jews in the course of their migrations. We naturally move to those places where we are not persecuted, and there our presence produces persecution. This is the case in every country, and will remain so, even in those highly civilized — for instance, France — until the Jewish question finds a solution on a political basis. The unfortunate Jews are now carrying the seeds of anti-Semitism into England; they have already introduced it into America. (Translated by Sylvie d’Avigdor and Jacob De Haas)
Herzl’s vision of a Jewish state was greeted with derision from liberal Jews, who rejected his separatist vision, and from the Orthodox, who believed the establishment of Jewish sovereignty in the holy land needed to await the coming of the Messiah. Nevertheless, in 1897, Herzl presided over the inaugural conference of the Zionist Organization (later the World Zionist Organization) in Basel, Switzerland, which drew about 200 delegates and established the Zionist goal as establishing a legally assured home for the Jewish people in Palestine. Herzl was elected the group’s president and assumed the mantle of global Zionist leadership.
In the years that followed, Herzl actively promoted his ideas, meeting with German Kaiser Wilhelm II and the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II in an attempt to win their support for the Zionist cause. In 1903, he secured support from the British for the establishment of a Jewish state in east Africa and brought the proposal before the Sixth Zionist Congress. But the idea proved controversial and was ultimately shelved in 1905.
In addition to not being wedded to the idea of the land of Israel as the locale for a Jewish state, Herzl initially opposed the adoption of Hebrew (then being revived by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda) as the state’s official language. Writing in Der Judenstaat, Herzl argued:
We cannot converse with one another in Hebrew. Who amongst us has a sufficient acquaintance with Hebrew to ask for a railway ticket in that language? Such a thing cannot be done.
He also rejected the use of Yiddish, which many European Jews then spoke, calling for Jews to “give up using those miserable stunted jargons, those Ghetto languages which we still employ, for these were the stealthy tongues of prisoners.”
Instead, Herzl supported the idea of a multilingual “federation of tongues” in which Jews could retain the language with which they felt most comfortable, citing Switzerland (which has four official languages) as an example of the idea’s viability. The language “which proves itself to be of greatest utility for general intercourse,” Herzl wrote, would be adopted as the national tongue “without compulsion.” (He would later become more supportive of efforts to revive Hebrew and even made an effort to learn it himself.)
In 1902, Herzl published Altneuland (“Old New Land”), a novel that describes the transformation of Palestine into a thriving, prosperous and modern country with the return of the Jewish people.
In 1904, Herzl died in Austria at the age of 44. In 1949, in accordance with his wishes, Herzl’s remains were transferred to Jerusalem, where they were reinterred on Mount Herzl, named in his memory. The quote “If you will it, is is no dream” is commonly attributed to Herzl. A modified form of the line appeared in Altneuland.

Make sure you have the HDD in the same state as it was on Hibernating. If it was removed after Hibernation, it will not be 'seen' by the PC. Everything that was connected during Hibernation MUST be connected again when starting the machine so the O/S can follow the route.
remove the battery and adapter. press power button for 30 sec. then connect the adapter. press power button. if this didnt work. you need to ask for an help of a local tech to check for the video card and cable.
if it boots up to your operating system
control panel---->power options--->change plan setting--->
Turn off the display-never
Put the computer to sleep-never
control panel---->power options--->change plan setting--->advanced power setting
-set hard disk "turn off hard disk after" to never
-set Sleep "Sleep after" to never
-set hybrid sleep setting to off
-set hibernate after setting to never
Hibernation usually happens when the battery goes flat. It may have nothing to do with the software. Please ensure the laptop is well connected and the battery is charging. And then try to turn it on again. If I'm wrong and the application you purchased is actually a malware in disguise, then I'd suggest you try to boot with a recovery CD and then uninstall the application. Unless there is physical disc damage that the malware caused it should be able to turn on. Hope it all goes well. If my ideas help you, please do rate me. Thanks
It's possible that the laptop is stuck thinking it should be resuming from standby but cannot find the data in memory. Remove the battery, unplug the power cord, and hold down the power button for at least 10 seconds. Then plug JUST the power cord back in and try to boot the system. If you still get no response then it's possible that one of your RAM sticks is going bad. With the battery and power cord removed try removing both sticks of RAM. Then try to boot the system again with only the power cord in use and no RAM installed. See if you get some sort of response from the BIOS. Hold down the power button to turn the computer off again, remove the power cord, and then try booting the system with just one of the memory sticks installed. If you can isolate one of the sticks as causing the failed boot, then that stick is most likely faulty.
my toshiba laptop went into sleep hibernation mode,& all i could get was the cursor on screen but nothing else, omg could not get it out of this mode for about 5-10 minutes,so i held the on/off button down for 10 seconds until it definately switched off,then was able to be reboot the laptop,but took some time doing this......

The nameless narrator of this short, abortive fiction is 15 when his father, a Wall Street employee, dies and his mother hands him a letter kept in a desk drawer for years. This rueful, typewritten note, ostensibly from his dead father, is full of ringing, platitudinous advice urging the youth to make something of his life and not waste his abilities, as dad had done at Harvard. Soon the boy's Brooklyn relatives have distributed 100 handsomely printed copies of the letter to friends and family. When he goes off to college, he finds the dean somehow has a copy of the letter, which he dubs ``Lessons in Survival'' and disseminates to the freshman class. McElroy ( Women and Men ) has spun a convoluted, rambling interior monologue reflecting the narrator's emotional numbness, his confusion, his social snobbery and his unresolved grief over the loss of his father. But the mysterious, self-perpetuating letter is like a private symbol, its meaning known only to the author and his mixed-up alter ego. (October)

MGM // 1981 // 128 Minutes // Rated PG
Reviewed by Judge Nicholas Sylvain (Retired) // December 3rd, 1999
When you set out for revenge, first dig two graves.
Perhaps the best entry in the Roger Moore era, For Your Eyes Only returns to a tougher, grittier Bond who saves the day but this time with very limited gadgets and some of the most amazing stunt sequences ever packed into a single movie.
Cubby Broccoli and the other keepers of the Bond franchise realized that in Moonraker the series had gone a little too far into sci-fi and campy territory, so they resolved to return James Bond to his roots as a tough, killer gentleman-spy. The result is For Your Eyes Only, where the action is fast and furious and firmly grounded in the essence of Ian Fleming's original works. The plot does not involve world domination, and the villains are real, if restrained, people. Based in part on two Ian Fleming short stories, For Your Eyes Only also includes the chilling keelhauling sequence originally found in the Ian Fleming novel "Live and Let Die." Sadly, this is the first Bond film to lack the touch of Bernard Lee as "M," who died prior to filming. If it were not for the opening sequence (a thrilling stunt sequence, but made possible only by Totally Stupid Villain Syndrome) and the Margaret Thatcher skit at the end, as well as a touch of slowness underwater, this would be a perfect Bond story.
Ah! The story, you said?
We open with a somber moment, as James Bond (Roger Moore) visits the graveside of his late wife, Teresa Bond, who was killed at the end of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. He is called away, ostensibly on Secret Service business, but which turns out to be a trap by crippled SPECTRE leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld (John Hollis). After a thrilling helicopter stunt sequence, 007 drops off Blofeld and we go into the opening credits, featuring Sheena Easton's beauty and vocal talents.
The main plot begins with a bang when the British spy ship St. Georges sinks off the coast of Albania with the ATACS system aboard. The Minister of Defence (Geoffrey Keen) fears that the Russians will get their hands on the ATACS system, which would allow them to send commands to the British ballistic missile submarines. Before 007 is on the case, the British try the talents of marine archaeologist Sir George Havelock (Jack Hedley), who we meet as his daughter, Melina (Carole Bouquet), flies in to meet her parents. The joyful reunion is short-lived, as the assassin Hector Gonzales (Stefan Kalipha) guns down both of Melina's parents. She is shocked, but her icy eyes are fired with the searing passion for revenge.
Sent to interrogate the assassin, Bond finds himself kidnapped but saved by the timely intervention of the lethal Melina. Seizing the moment (and Melina!), Bond escapes, but owing to an active anti-theft system in his prized Lotus, he is forced to use Melina's tiny yellow car (very unBondlike!). The ensuing car chase scene is simply amazing, and a testament to ingenuity, skill, and hours upon hours of planning and practice. Naturally, Bond escapes, but with Gonzales now unavailable, his only link to the ATACS is a distinctive man who seemed to be paying off Gonzales for a job. Between Q's efforts and an Identigraph computer system, Bond identifies the money man, Emil Locque (Michael Gothard), and jets off to confront him at the Italian ski-village of Cortina.
Local agent Ferrara (John Moreno) sets up a meeting with a local Anglophile and Secret Service resource Aristotle Kristatos (Julian Glover). Kristatos is willing to help, and introduces Bond to his skating protégé Bibi (Lynn-Holly Johnson). Bond is soon surprised to see Melina Havelock walking through Cortina, and is quickly engaged in saving her from the homicidal efforts of two motorcyclists. Someone lured Melina to Cortina, and Bond is on his guard. Facing a most dangerous foe, Bond resists the predatory advances of Bibi and instead escorts her to see her friend Erich Kriegler (John Wyman) at the biathlon competition. When he leaves the bubbly Bibi, 007 is set upon by a horde of bad guys, including Locque and Kriegler. The resulting chase involves skiing, shooting, motorcycling, and a bobsled run in spectacular fashion.
After another narrow escape, Bond dodges yet another group of thugs only to find Ferrara dead and Colombo's symbol on his body. Sensing his target, 007 links up again with Melina and in the usual Bond baccarat sequence identifies Colombo's mistress, Lisl (Cassandra Harris), and charms her back to her place and into bed. Walking on the beach the next morning, the couple is attacked by Locque and more thugs, only to be saved and captured by the miraculous intervention of silent men bearing Colombo's symbol.
Colombo has some good arguments to convince Bond that Kristatos is the real enemy, and to prove the point he leads his men with Bond on an assault of Kristatos' heroin-filled warehouse. Now knowing his true foe, Bond returns to locate and salvage the wreck of the St. Georges with Melina, only to be captured by Kristatos and very nearly keelhauled to death. After another hairs-breadth escape, Bond and Melina meet Colombo and lead an assault on Kristatos' barely accessible mountain home. A tense mountain-climbing sequence and a liberal dose of firepower and unarmed combat finds the British ballistic missile fleet safe from harm and Bond and Melina taking a sensuous moonlight swim. Fini!
As hoped, MGM gives us a quality anamorphic transfer. I detected no film grain or video noise, and only the rare bit of dirt or film flaw. Flesh tones are accurate, blacks and shadow detail are solid, and the overall picture is crisp though perhaps a bit softer than I might like. Colors are moderately saturated, as expected for a movie that is nearly twenty years old. There was only an occasional and minor appearance of digital edge enhancement (most notable in the plane wing as Gonzales flies in to assassinate the Havelocks).
The audio is a decent Dolby Surround to Dolby 5.1 re-mix. Directional effects are moderately apparent, and the LFE channel provides sparing bass support and the occasional chest-thumping explosion. Dialogue is clear and understandable. The score is really the weakest point of the audio experience. Sheena Easton's title song is okay, but the real problem is the use of the disco-era remixed Bond themes. No thank you! I'll take the recent funky, techno-remixes any day.
The most prominent jewel of For Your Eyes Only has got to be the stunning and talented actress Carole Bouquet. Her uniquely stunning eyes and luxuriant long hair make her perhaps the most exquisite Bond leading lady ever, but it is the intensity of her performance as the revenge-minded Melina Havelock that I find most alluring. Just looking into her eyes you are utterly convinced of her passion and determination, yet she can still be pleasant and charming when called for. As a result, Melina more than holds her own across from James Bond and kicks some serious, ah, posterior.
Roger Moore is by this point in the franchise very comfortable with his role and it shows. His humor avoids going over the top, and is as convincing as the suave gentleman as he is as the cool killer. The rest of the cast has more talents. Topol, perhaps best known for his leading role in Fiddler on the Roof, is perfect as the gregarious Milos Colombo. Julian Glover is a low-key Bond Villain, who depends on his actions and a quiet menace to get his points across. The role of the Villain's Helper is divided into two characters, with Michael Gothard as Emil Locque (whose looks and evil silence are enough) and John Wyman as Erich Kriegler (whose athletic prowess makes him a worthy 007 opponent). The only grating role is that of skater Lynn-Holly Johnson as Bibi, whose bouncy, bubble-gum ways may induce some eye-rolling or nausea. Of special note is Cassandra Harris as Topol's mistress, who was to-be-Bond Pierce Brosnan's wife but who died tragically in 1991.
Extra content is superb, as usual. The two commentary tracks, though not hewing to the on-screen action terribly closely, give us the insights of Director John Glen and numerous cast members on the first and the anecdotes of Producer Michael G. Wilson and crew members on the second. There are several curious tidbits covered in these tracks, such as the battle in the Greek courts over land rights in the end sequence and a scouting crew's encounter with a tier-iron wielding cabby. The still picture gallery combines production notes with over 150 images. There is the usual entertaining extended featurette, "Inside For Your Eyes Only," narrated by Patrick McNee, 4 theatrical trailers (decent quality but lightly matted), two radio spots, the Sheena Easton music video "For Your Eyes Only," two storyboard sequences, and the inevitable "Tomorrow Never Dies" Sony PlayStation trailer. All this comes with snazzy main menus thanks to 1K Studios and a nice multi-page color insert with production notes and trivia.
The Alpha Keepcase? Yeeecchhh! Come on, MGM, we want the Amaray keepcase for the next set!
A back-to-basics Bond, For Your Eyes Only should appeal both to the die-hard Bond fanatic and the more casual movie watcher with its strong lead actors and numerous action scenes. Rental is simply mandatory, but if you desire a purchase, be aware of its price ($35 retail).
The heck with the Official Secrets Act! I declare For Your Eyes Only and MGM released from the dock forthwith. Oh, by the way, MGM, drop the Alpha keepcase already!

BALTIMORE, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- A man who was infected with Legionnaire's disease at housing for the elderly in Baltimore has filed a $225 million lawsuit.
Max Taylor Jr., 62, said the disease wrecked his life, The Baltimore Sun reported Thursday. Taylor, who was living at the Stadium Place apartments to care for his elderly father, blames the infection for a stroke that left him with slurred speech and difficulty walking.
Taylor now lives with his son in Charlotte, N.C.
Legionnaire's, a sometimes fatal pneumonia, is caused by a bacterium that lives in warm water, including air conditioning systems. The disease was first identified when a group of men became sick attending an American Legion convention at a Philadelphia hotel.
At Stadium Place, 10 people got sick last year and one died. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control says the outbreak may be linked to a temporary water line installed in August 2009 so city workers could shut down and repair the water main.
