Blackberry has just laid-off 4,500 people, and have announced a loss of $1 billion for the last quarter, failing to turn the Z10 into a success. A lot of us knew this was going to happen since a couple of years ago, and some of us even saw it coming since 2007, after the iPhone launched, because it wasn’t that hard to see that the leaders in the market at the time (Blackberry and Nokia) would think they have a lot to lose by “radically” changing course towards making smartphones the way Apple was making them (No physical buttons? One day battery life? What kind of craziness is that?!).
They resisted until they couldn’t anymore, to change course. Nokia basically waited until it replaced its CEO to do that, and that pretty much happened to RIM/Blackberry, too, although the former CEO bought the new QNX OS a few years before, but it wasn’t until after the new CEO took over that they finished the new BB10 OS for Blackberry.
This is what happens when companies get disrupted (Mike Masnick from TechDirt made a great short video explanation of it), and it’s the leaders of the industry that fall the hardest, because they usually are the slowest to change, and by the time they do change, the disruptors, or the nimbler companies that changed course much faster, are already very established in the market, and already have strong “new type of products” and brands.
Such a company would be Samsung, for example, which used to be 2-3x smaller than Nokia in the smartphone and feature phone markets, but they understood Android is part of that “future” that the iPhone jumpstarted. They understood that if they take advantage of it quickly, and make the best such “touchscreen smartphone” with Android, they can get ahead – which is exactly what they ended up doing, and Samsung is now the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer.
Unfortunately for Blackberry, even if they understood what was going on (they tried making some faulty touchscreen phones early on), they reacted way too slowly to it, and didn’t take it very seriously. By the time they really woke up and realized that if they don’t do touchscreen smartphones right, their company could collapse, it was already too late.
Now Blackberry is in the situation where it has to sell the company, if someone even wants it anymore. I assume there will be companies who will at least want their patents, and I hope Google will be one of the companies to buy some from them, because they should have much higher quality patents than Motorola did (and more recent).
Blackberry also owns elliptic curve cryptography patents through a company called Certicom that they bought earlier, and I’d really like to see Google or someone else buy them, and make them public domain, because most cryptographers agree that ECC is the future of cryptography, and it would be quite hindering for security on the Internet if those patents were used to attack the companies using such cryptography (especially now after all the NSA revelations). It would be even better if Blackberry themselves did it as a nice final gesture, but something tells me they’ll try to squeeze every last cent out of the company when they sell it in pieces.

Molecules on Computer
Chemistry students will be building molecules on computer yet this semester, thanks to a grant secured by Natural Science Department instructor Pam Smith. “Instead of making several different chemical compounds and testing them to see what works, students can build molecules on computer and test their properties, how they will react and so forth,” Smith said. “This is cutting edge in the field of chemistry.” The software, due to arrive any day, is not meant to replace the work students will conduct in wet labs. Rather, it is a supplement to the typical lab experiments.
Smith was able to attend a week-long conference at San Jose (Calif.) State University in July titled “Computational Chemistry for Chemistry Educators.” The National Computational Science Institute sponsored the conference, and Cowley’s Title III grant program paid for Smith’s attendance. Smith was the lone community college instructor among the 40-50 who attended workshops last summer, and she was one of only six people to be awarded $1,000 grants to help purchase the software. Cowley matched the grant to purchase the software package.
Smith, in her eighth year at Cowley, said the computer work students do also would save the college money in chemical expense and be safer for the students. Smith said the NCSI wanted to put the software into the hands of chemistry instructors and chemists. She said the average chemist would be able to use the software. “It’s not just for theoretical chemists, but people in research and industry can use it, too,” she said.
The grant stipulates that the software be used during the fall and spring semesters. Recipients also must give a report in May about its impact on student learning. Smith said students in Chemistry I and II and Organic Chemistry I and II would be the first to use the software. “This is a significant change in chemistry education,” Smith said. “By using computational software, the students can visualize the molecules and properties of them, and they’ll have a deeper understanding of chemistry. “Also, we hope that when they transfer to a university, they’ll be well prepared.” The software will be loaded on computers on the lower level of Renn Memorial Library. “I’m very excited,” Smith said. “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.” Smith said the software could eventually be used in all chemistry classes.

By Prof. Raphael Nyarkotey Obu
Colour for healing was adopted 2,000 years ago in Ancient Greece, Egypt, and China. They used color and light in the form of sunlight, crystal reflections, paints, and plants were employed to improve people’s moods.
Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is a form of therapy that uses color and light to treat certain mental and physical health conditions.
The concept behind this alternative medicine therapy is that different colors evoke different responses in people. Some colors are considered to be more stimulating and energizing, while others are more soothing. Because of this, it could be said that color exposure can impact one’s overall mood, motivation, sleep, outlook, appetite, and decision-making.
Types of Color Therapy
In color therapy, it is believed that different colors can impact the body differently.
- Red = stimulating. Connected with the root chakra and spin. Considered grounding, instinctual, life-giving. Thought to promote stamina, passion, and circulation.
- Orange = enthusiasm. Connected with the pelvis chair and tied to optimism, pleasure, sexuality, excitement, happiness, and energy.
- Yellow = happiness. Connected with the naval chakra and tied to hope, willpower, laughter, warmth, optimism, and hunger.
- Green = acceptance. Connected with the heart and tied to healing, balance, love, grounding, nature, growth, health, envy, and calmness.
- Blue = calmness. Connected with the throat chakra and tied to communication, knowledge, serenity, wisdom, loyalty, and truth.
- Indigo = balance. Connected with the third eye chakra and clairvoyance, pain relief, prosperity, wisdom, royalty, mystery, and respect.
- Violet = knowledge. Connected with the crown chakra and imagination, spiritual awakening, calmness, serenity, and creativity. Purple utilizes both red and blue to provide a nice balance between stimulation and serenity that is supposed to encourage creativity
- White = pureness. Connected with innocence, cleanliness, and neutrality.
- Black = authority. Connected with strength, power, evil mourning, and intelligence.
- Brown = reliability. Connected with stability, friendship, sadness, comfort, and security.
Mechanism of Action
The Art Therapy blog explains that the psychology of color is based on the mental and emotional effects colors have on sighted people in all facets of life. There are some very subjective pieces to color psychology as well as some more accepted and proven elements. Keep in mind, that there will also be variations in interpretation, meaning, and perception between different cultures.
Hence, Color is consistently used in an attempt to make people hungry, associate a positive or negative tone, encourage trust, feelings of calmness or energy, and countless other ways.
A study by Azeemi et al.(2019) shows that Color is visible to the human eye because of how it reflects, bends, and refracts through particles and objects. Color and light enter our bodies through both our eyes and our skin, and once they do so they lead to electronic impulses that can activate the release of various chemicals and enzymes that affect how we feel.
A previous study by Azeemi et al.(2005) on chromotherapy explains the science of color: “Light is electromagnetic radiation, which is the fluctuation of electric and magnetic fields in nature. More simply, light is energy, and the phenomenon of color is a product of the interaction of energy and matter.”
Every color has its wavelength, frequency, and quantity of energy. All colors that we can see fall on the visible spectrum of light, and they have their electromagnetic frequencies.
Each unique frequency relates to a color of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each color has a different effect, so different colors are used for different purposes.
Improves Seasonal Depressive Disorder
Dr. Axe.com explained that people deal with seasonal affective disorder because of a lack of sunlight exposure. Most people do not go out to experiencenature and our inability to get natural light can increase the risk for depression.
The reason is that sunlight tends to have a mood-boosting and energizing effect — plus it can help regulate our circadian rhythm, which helps with sleep.
Dr. Axe. Com also stated that some colors, such as blue, green, and light purple, can have a calming effect on the mind and body, leading to physiological changes, such as reduced anxiety symptoms, decreased blood pressure, slowed breathing, and help with relaxation and sleep.
Green, especially when found in nature such as among forests and gardens, is another color that may be used to help people feel more grounded, serene, and balanced. Green is also considered the primary color of healing since it’s associated with nature and growth.
Sometimes art therapists instruct their clients to paint with a certain range of colors that help bring out buried issues or allow them to deal with them more effectively, and often these include colors that can help fight stress, such as lavenders, greens, and blues.
Sometimes therapists, especially Eastern medicine practitioners, use colors in conjunction with other methods, like vibrational healing or acupuncture, to help restore someone’s “energy fields” and assist healing and mood stabilization.
Boost Energy and Motivation
Kim and Kang’s (2013) study found that art therapy utilizing colors also improves the “purpose of life” among patients with post-stroke disabilities.
Dr. Axe.com further noted that the color red is one of the warmest and has the opposite effect as cooling colors, such as blue. It tends to be energy-boosting and can lead to increased heart rate, greater stamina due to adrenaline release, and sometimes anger or increased appetite.
Yellow is another warm color that is invigorating. It’s often recommended for people suffering from depression or lack of motivation.
It may also help boost creativity and logic. Therefore along with orange, which promotes productivity, it is often used in school settings.
Desire to Eat More
Stimulating colors, such as red, yellow, and orange, are associated with motivation, which can increase the desire for food and other forms of excitement and reward.
Red may also boost someone’s sense of smell, while blue can have appetite-reducing effects in some cases. This is why places like restaurants, theaters, and casinos often use these warm colors to appeal to customers’ senses.
How to Get Started
Dr. Axe.com provided the following recommendations:
- Get rid of blue lights at nighttime for better sleep. Research has shown that the blue light in your laptops, phones, and televisions can affect your circadian rhythm, which affects your sleep quality. Wearing anti-blue light glasses or turning the settings on your gadgets to warmer yellow tones has been found to help. Read more at Harvard Health. Blue light has a dark side. July 7, 2020
- Choose colors purposefully when painting rooms in your home/office — Consider how different colors affect your mood while in a room. For example, light blue, light green, and lavender tend to be calming, while warmer colors like yellow and orange are awakening. In classrooms, natural colors such as beige, light green, and white may be best, since some intense colors, such as yellow, may be too distracting for some students.
- Get more sunlight exposure — Try to take advantage of sunlight’s uplifting effects by spending at least 20 minutes outdoors each day, which also offers additional mental health benefits by boosting vitamin D levels. Even if the sun isn’t bright and shining, and there aren’t blue skies to be seen, being outside can still be invigorating and relaxing.
- Try color therapy glasses — Colored glasses allow you to choose how you want to feel based on the influences of different colors. They come in many shades and often block out UV light. It’s recommended that you wear your glasses daily for about 30 minutes to help impact your mood, such as by wearing blue glasses for help with a lengthened attention span or yellow glasses for an uplifting effect.
- Take advantage of colors found in nature — Being outdoors in nature is one of the easiest ways to expose yourself to various colors, such as blue from skies, green from grass, blues from bodies of water, purples, and reds from flowers and plants, etc.
- Try creative activities like drawing and painting — Depending on your mood, try using colors for creative purposes that help bring about the mental state you hope for. For example, purple can help with self-knowledge and wisdom, indigo can promote creativity intuition, and visualization, and greens can promote harmony and love. In general, colors used in art therapy practices have been shown to help people feel more energetic less depressed, and anxious, to support memory and communication skills, and to lead to feelings of affection and connection.
- Consider red light therapy — One form of color therapy uses light delivered into the skin. Red light therapy is an example of this approach. It uses red light within a certain wavelength range to promote mental or physical invigoration. Red light therapy uses include treating inflammation, pain, mood issues, skin issues, and more.
- Experiment with visualization and crystals — Some people choose to utilize crystals to break up sunlight shining through and to emit different colors. Others might use visualization and/or crystals while meditating or practicing breathing exercises to put them into a certain state of mind. For example, you can practice visualizing yourself surrounded by your color of choice to help you relax or be more creative.
Things to Consider
While the premise of color therapy is that certain colors elicit specific emotions from most people, this isn’t always the case. Human beings are unique. The effects of certain colors on people may range from person to person. Colors most people might find calming or soothing might be anxiety-inducing or depressing to others.
If you’re interested in using the effects of colors to manage mental health problems, it’s best to work with a trained practitioner at first.
Be intentional about color choices. When picking colors for anything, from the color of the walls in your room to the color of the clothes you wear, choose colors that you find stimulating or elicit positive emotions.
It’s important to reiterate that color therapy doesn’t serve as a definitive treatment for any mental or physical health conditions. If you are experiencing a condition such as depression, it’s important to speak to your doctor about it.

I covered Oz Comic Con's Cosplay Central today at Glebe Island, Sydney NSW, Australia. Cosplay Central is one of the attractions at this year's Comic Con and I had the opportunity to shoot between Kriz and Isaac which is quite an achievement on its own.
The area I was allocated was a 2m wide x 5m long x 4m tall photo booth. The sides were fenced off from to allow a private shooting corridor for the photographer. It was a welcome change since I always have to work with the limitations of the venue especially if I was to setup studio lights on location.
I shot some great photos and made some new friends. Oz Comic Con was fun this year.

Nanotechnology has great potential in targeting several emerging application. Many of them are based on materials which combine rather different properties. There are several procedures how such materials can be prepared. In the frame of this project we explore possibility to use assembly process where nanoparticles are combined into complex structures. While it was shown that such approach can be used to prepare porous materials now we apply this method to prepare composite materials where combination of primary particles with rather different properties are mixed together. Areas where these materials can find application are catalysis, bio-catalysis, sensors, optical devices, functional coatings, drug delivery, packaging materials etc. While experimental effort dominates in parallel we are developing mathematical models capable to describe interactions between nanoparticles which should help us to understand and later on optimize synthesis conditions or to tune the final properties of these materials.
This project is oriented on the improvement of bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) by their formulation into nano or micro-particles and by modification of the surface properties of these particles. Processes used for API formulation are emulsification, precipitation, encapsulation into suitable matrix etc. Obtained particles are characterized using various techniques including light scattering, SEM, TEM. Such particles are consequently combined with appropriate excipients to form final dosing forms (granules or tablets). Measured release kinetics of API is correlated to the properties of API particle (size, composition, surface properties etc.) with the goal to provide rational guideline for formulation process.
This project is covering various aspects of the final step of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) production which is commonly crystallization. To cover broad range of conditions our activity includes classical crystallization (homogeneous or heterogeneous) and anti-solvent crystallization. Combination of experiments with suitable mathematical models is used to optimize process of crystallization with respect to crystal size distribution together with a possibility to produce desired polymorphic form of given API. Obtained materials are characterized by several techniques such as SEM, TEM, light scattering, image analysis. Gained knowledge is further used in the process scale up to production scale devices.
This project is reflecting interest of academia and industry on the understanding of the cell response to the modification of cultivation conditions including variation of metabolism, productivity and product quality. Experimental techniques which include analysis of extra- and intracellular components by various spectroscopic techniques is combined with a modeling effort targeting deeper understanding of the metabolism of cells during fed-batch and continuous cultivation conditions. Depending on the complexity mathematical models are built on various levels (extracellular or intracellular level). Gained knowledge should help us to optimize the cultivation conditions in terms of feeding strategies, effect of media supplements, mixing intensity, O2 supply and CO2 removal etc.
This project is covering general interest of the group to understand and consequently predict industrially relevant processes using mathematical models. While experience of the group is in the modeling of multiphase flow in various devices, using combination of computational fluid dynamics and population balances, we are currently working on extension of this approach towards microscale of the given process which includes processes occurring on the level of interfaces (G-L, L-L, S-L) or even on the level of molecules (interactions of molecule-surface, molecule-molecule, molecule solvent). Modelling effort is supported by the experimental activity to provide data for validation of the developed models.

Nagaland killing incidents: NPP demands suspension of Mon DC, SP
Dimapur, Dec. 13 (EMN): The National People’s Party (NPP) Nagaland has accused the Mon Deputy Commissioner and Superintendent of Police of negligence in the recent Oting and Mon town firing incidents that killed 14 civilians and demanded their suspension.
The party said at a press conference held in Dimapur on Monday that two sequences of the incident (ambush) could have been avoided if the district administration and the police had acted swiftly.
At least eight more civilians were killed and many injured on December 4 in the aftermath of the ambush by the 21 para-commandos that shot dead six coal miners from Oting village. One more person was killed by the Assam Rifles during a protest in Mon town on December 5.
The NPP Nagaland unit also accused the state government of trying to suppress the truth of the incident by prohibiting the party members and some journalists from entering Tizit area.
The party general secretary (media), Tohovi Achumi, alleged that the party members were stopped from going further on reaching the Nagaland gate, Tizit, on December 8. However, the personnel manning the check gate failed to produce “prohibitory order” when demanded and the team was finally permitted to enter Tizit after almost 20 minutes of negotiation.
The team visited Oting village on December 8, and Mon and Chi village on Dec. 9, it was informed. After paying homage to the victims, the party affirmed the village that they would take the incident on priority basis and fight for justice, it added.
The NPP stated that the party will closely monitor the proceedings of the special investigation team (SIT) and make sure that it doesn’t try to cover the incident and justice is served as the crime is already in the public domain.
The visit, the party claimed, was not on political agenda but on humanitarian ground.
The NPP general secretary (Political Affairs), Ricky Ozukum, said that there was not just one but sequence of events, adding that although the first ambush was unavoidable, the other two incidents where the innocent villagers were killed in Oting and in Mon could have been avoided if the police and the administration acted swiftly.
‘There was a gap of 3-4 hours before the second incident took place. As per the narration from the villagers, the administration had warned the villagers not to proceed to the incident site but the villagers proceeded defying the order to look for the eight coal miners and upon reaching found them killed and the para military hiding their body and trying to cover the incident by changing their clothes,’ Ozukum claimed.
He further said that the next incident in Mon could have been avoided had the district administration taken precaution from the first and second turn of events. He demanded that the prosecution of the jawans should be given by the central government.
The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA), he said, is not new to the Northeast region and the security forces have been misusing it by continuing to kill people. If AFSPA is in place, peace negotiation has no meaning, he asserted.
NPP general secretary (organisation), Lima Longkumer, asked how many black days will the Nagas observe and placed the party’s six demands: All the jawans involved in the killing be given capital punishment; they should be tried as any criminal in civilian court; central government should sanction their prosecution immediately; suspension of Deputy commissioner and Superintendent of Police for their negligence; Naga Peoples’ Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR) to take the matter seriously; and repeal of AFSPA.
The party president, Dr. Andrew Ahoto, said the fact-finding is still going on while maintaining that much truth seems to be buried and suppressed. On the party members being stopped initially from entering the village, he said: “We were precisely told that the government had ordered to stop”. Why were other political parties allowed to enter and not NPP and some section of the media? he asked.
The entire incident was staged by the armed forces and they should not promote themselves for higher rank or to sabotage the peace process, he claimed.
The vice president of National People’s Youth Front, Atoka Awomi, affirmed that the party would give all efforts for justice, while requesting the civil society and student bodies to fight together as one, saying that the Northeast cannot be victimised always under AFSPA.
He added that the party will stage a dharna against the Oting and Mon incident.

The Portugal Masters was his 13th event of the year too and his last chance to keep his card, so it really was a unique situation. To go and win was fantastic.
A mention too for Justin Walters who lost his mother recently, but had his dad there watching and when he holed a 40-foot putt on the 18th you’ve never seen such emotion and someone so happy.
Jimmy Walker picked up his maiden victory in California, but the real story was with the two players who finished behind him.
Vijay Singh is playing on the Seniors Tour now, so it’s quite incredible that he was second. And Brooks Koepka, playing on his first main Tour event, is supposed to be the real deal so will have been very disappointed not to win.
Rory McIlroy’s problematic year continues off the course, with his split from girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki and the start of legal proceedings against former agents. He needs to get his head down and play some good golf again.

Kaylee Johnston’s “Try” is an infectious follow up to her first single, “Are You The One”. The alt-rock song will have you eagerly awaiting her new EP, set to be released in early 2016. She’s an ambitious Vancouver-based musician who spent the last two years writing and recording for the upcoming self-titled album.
Johnston’s first album was recorded at the age of 16. Her song, “Arms Around Me,” earned her a finalist slot in the Canadian Radio Star songwriting competition as well as use in a made-for-TV movie, on CBC radio, and Vancouver’s Jack FM morning show. Since then Johnston has opened for Dragonette and Ace of Base, and shared stages with Carly Rae Jepsen, One Republic, and Joe Jonas.
It’s easy to hear Johnson’s musical influences on “Try”- Stevie Nicks, Annie Lennox, and Heart. The track is also very reminiscent of ’80s pop songs with catchy hooks and strong vocals. Though the pop vibe is evident throughout the EP, you’ll also hear rock, R&B, and soul. After writing hundreds of songs, Johnston made her picks for the EP. It was produced and mixed by Steve Smith and Anthony Anderson of SA Trackworks and mastered by Tom Coynes (Beyonce, Taylor Swift).
“Try” is released today via PopMatters.

After being without a contract for two years, Town Hall clerical staff and DPW workers have a new contract.
The agreement between Holmdel and the IAIW Local 1 approved by the governing body Thursday calls for a 2% raise in 2011, a 2% raise in 2012 and a 2.25% raise in 2013, said Mayor Patrick Impreveduto.
A second contract awards 2.25% raises each year through 2016, said Interim Township Administrator Maureen Doloughty.
Impreveduto said that the township's workers have seen their salaries reduced by the new, mandatory 1.5% of salary contribution to health insurance.
At the same time, they've had to take on additional workload without compensation after an estimated 8 full time staff positions were eliminated by reductions or attrition in the last two years.
"They deserve it," said the mayor. "They are not making a lot of money to start with. The raise they'll see at the end of the year is nominal. Very few of them will get even $1,000."
During the Hurricane Sandy crisis, Town Hall employees reported to work and served long hours without overtime, said Maureen Doloughty, who served as Township Clerk at that time.
Negotiations had been started by former Township Administrator Andy Katz, who recently resigned, but they were never concluded. The contract was negotiated by Doloughty, who is acting Administrator.

In the last three years 70,000 km2 of Amazon rainforest has been destroyed – that’s an area of forest the size of six football pitches every minute. Much of this destruction has been driven by the soya industry.
New Greenpeace research shows how this soya is being fed to the chickens that you eat at places like McDonald’s. We have documented thousands of tonnes of soya is being exported from the heart of the Amazon into the UK. The soya is then fed to millions of chickens in the farms that supply McDonald’s. This means that every time you buy a Chicken McNugget you’re taking a bite out of the Amazon..

NBA All-Star Fan Voting is slowly coming to a close. The ten starters are set to be announced on January 26th on the TNT broadcast.
Every year, fans try to do everything they can to impact which players get an All-Star nod. Sometimes they have fun with their votes, while others pour in for their favorites. That being said, here are some takeaways from this year's voting.
1) Golden State Warriors fans run NBA All-Star fan voting
If there is any fanbase that dominates the NBA All-Star Fan Voting, it's the Golden State Warriors. For years they have tried to get as many players from their team in the game as possible.
This wave of Warriors fans started years ago when they tried to get Zaza Pachulia in as a starter. He gained so many votes that the league had to change the format. Then last year, Andrew Wiggins gained enough votes to be a starter after a K-pop star gave him a shoutout.
Once again, the Warriors are well represented in the NBA All-Star Fan Voting. Steph Curry, Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney are all in the top ten of their respective groups.
2) Load management isn't deterring voters
In this era of the NBA, load management is a term often thrown around. While a handful of stars have missed a significant amount of time this season, it did not appear to be a factor in NBA All-Star Fan Voting.
Looking at the Western Conference, Anthony Davis and Zion Williamson are among the top vote-getters in the frontcourt. There is no denying they are star-level talent, but they have been sidelined for stretches this year.
Missed time might hurt players like Davis and Williamson for seasonal awards, but it appears to be a non-issue in the All-Star game.
3) LeBron James is still the King of the NBA
In his twentieth season, LeBron James is still one of the most prominent figures in the league. So far, the LA Lakers star claims the top spot in NBA All-Star Fan Voting. LeBron has over 6.5 million votes, with the next highest having 5.8 million.
At age 38, LeBron is still a high-impact player. So far this year, he is averaging 30.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. Along with his mainstream fame, his outstanding play is a key factor in why he is leading the votes.
4) Derrick Rose fans continue to show love
Derrick Rose was on the fast track to superstardom early in his career. However, injuries went on to completely derail things.
It took time, but Rose managed to work his way back. He never returned to where he was, but he has had some memorable performances. Even though he never fully bounced back, his fans show love when it comes to All-Star voting.
Rose is among the oddest names among all the leaders on the NBA All-Star Fan Voting list. He is not in the New York Knicks' regular rotation but still gets his fair share of votes.
5) It's time to do away with positions
One thing that always comes up when discussing NBA All-Star Fan Voting is positions. The game should be for the top players in the league, but position requirements stop that from happening.
The NBA is position-less now, and it's time for the All-Star game to get on board. Because of these restraints, one of the Eastern Conference's top players will not be a starter.
So far this year, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, and Giannis Antetokounmpo are putting on MVP-level campaigns. However, one of them will be forced to come off the bench in the All-Star game because of positions.

We are just one month into the year and so far, we are experiencing good buyer activity at the beach! In January, 19 properties went under contract in the Bethany-Fenwick area. This is up nearly 30%, compared to 15 properties under contract during the same month last year, even as we continue to have deficient inventory in most areas.
During this time of the year, we like to calculate absorption rates to determine whether we are trending in the direction of a buyer’s or seller’s market. We compare the pace of sales over the previous 12 months to calculate how many months supply of inventory is for sale. Generally, a balanced market would have between 6 to 7 months of inventory.
As the chart illustrates, we remain in a Seller’s Market for Bethany Beach, North Bethany and South Bethany real estate. Meanwhile, Fenwick Island real estate has shifted into a more balanced market. If you are looking for a beach home to call your own or have been contemplating a real estate sale, we are here to help.
Please give us a call:(302) 541-5207

Fremont National Recreation Trail – Moss Pass to the Chewaucan
Join us on one of the most epic rides in Oregon as we ride a portion of the Fremont National Recreation Trail (part of the Oregon Timber Trail). This year we will descend from Moss Pass all the way down to the Chewaucan for one of the most spectacular views in Eastern Oregon. While the mountain biking is awesome up here, the ride is more about where you are than what you are doing.
For those of you that followed our trip from last year, this is going the be the last 20 miles of that route.
We will be camping Saturday night, June 15th, at or somewhere near the Chewaucan Crossing Campgrounds (Marsters or Jones or dispersed depending on availability). First thing in the morning we will be loading up with lunch and heading out to setup our shuttle to Moss Pass. Feel free to join us the night before or plan to show up at the campground no later than 8 am (it’s a 3 hour drive from Klamath so be prepared).
Expect to spend pretty much the whole day for this adventure. While the ride is about 20 miles with only about 2100’ of climbing (and about 3500’ of descending), there will be many stops for views, regrouping and social time. While this is not a hammer fest ride, it is not an easy ride either: technical terrain, wayfinding and often extreme weather are the primary challenges out here.
What to Bring:
A full Hydration Pack (recommend 100 oz. and a frame mounted bottle).
Food for 6 or more hours. We will have food at the campground to load up on before we shuttle out.
Recommend a mountain bike in the “Trail” category (120mm travel or more), with full suspension preferred.
A GPS loaded with the appropriate tracks. It is VERY easy to get lost out here, we will not bring you to the top if you don’t have this. Please do not show up intending on following others. We won’t try to break the group up, but we want to account for somebody splitting off on accident.
A phone for emergencies.
Clothing layers enough to account for extreme weather as well as your normal Helmet, shoes and other riding gear.
A sense of adventure.
We will provide shuttles, breakfast and lunch but ask if you plan to utilize these may require a nominal fee. Please RSVP in person only at the shop. We have demo bikes and GPS units available.

You may start to think about the importance of hiring a professional attorney. Once you go to make the decision, it is okay to check if the attorney offers Free Consultation. Of course, people will not choose this action if they don’t find the side effects of the use of the birth control device. Essure may be popular in the society. When you know what effects resulted by this birth control method, you may know that you need an experienced person in the law for your case. More than 5,000 women field their complaints reports claiming the device, which causes all kind of injuries and even the serious adverse reactions.
We know that most people experience getting a headache due to some factors. You must be aware of the possibilities of the appearance of the use of your birth control device. Mood swings can be the serious matter to solve, but many people don’t know how to do it. Mood swings and chronic fatigue are other effects of taking essure. Just because you want to gain your weight, it doesn’t mean you see the excess result. As we all know that overweight is the serious issue that will lead you to suffer from the most serious health issues. Important to know that weight gain and bloating is listed as the effect of essure you took some years ago. With so many side effects, we are sure that you have more reasons to work with the best attorney in your location.
Perhaps, it takes times to know if your conditions are the effect of essure. You know that the use of advanced medical equipment can detect the negative effects of the use of the birth control device, right? So you just need to know if your health problems are caused by the use of that device. When the court or the attorney of the company asks you to give the proof, it will not become your burden.


SEPT. 1, 2022, UPDATE:
The operator of the Nissan Altima that was fatally injured on Wednesday, August 31st has been identified as Jacquelyn Justice, a 26-year-old resident of Mount Pleasant, WI.
ORIGINAL SEPT. 1, 2022, NEWS RELEASE:
On Wednesday, August 31st, 2022, at 12:38 PM, Kenosha County deputies, and Fire/Rescue personnel from the Town of Paris, Village of Bristol, and Pleasant Prairie, responded to the 15800 block of CTH K (60th St) for a serious single-vehicle crash. Initial reports indicated that a black 2019 Nissan Altima was traveling westbound on CTH K, briefly drifted left of center, and left the roadway into the north ditch line. A witness on the scene stated the vehicle continued traveling in the north ditch before hitting a culvert, causing the vehicle to roll over and eject the operator.
According to deputies on the scene, the operator and sole occupant was not wearing a seatbelt and was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Kenosha County Medical Examiner’s Office. She was identified as a 26-year-old woman from Mount Pleasant, WI. The name of the deceased is being withheld pending proper notification. The vehicle sustained extensive damage and was towed from the scene.
The public is encouraged to contact the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department with any information regarding the crash at 262-605-5100.

Speedy Ortiz Foil Deer Carpark Records
So Speedy Ortiz have quit their day jobs and joined the full time drudge of tour/ record/repeat. After four excellent records ranging from orthodox lo-fi to comparatively polished alt-rock, it seems that they’ve paid their dues.
Foil Deer, their second full length, sees the band lock down their sound into something that is uniquely their own, yet fluid and changeable: a knot of duelling guitar riffs and background noise that, once untangled, is as strong as many of the oft-deemed untouchable records of their 90s forbears. Swell Content recalls a fuzzier Weezer (NOT Pavement, crucially), whereas Puffer sees a thus far unseen foray into 00s pop: sleek, well-crafted and insistent. Likewise, My Dead Girl sees a chorus which is only a stone’s throw away from this era, although is set apart by its somewhat dark subject matter.
Indeed, perhaps the most ‘Speedy Ortiz’ of the Speedy Ortiz songs here is first single Raising The Skate, which wouldn’t have been out of place on either Major Arcana or Real Hair and now in hindsight seems a perhaps safe opening gambit, but the fact that this is the only (basically non-) qualm here speaks volumes: Foil Deer is another exceptional effort from this perennially challenging, refreshing outfit.

Even a year after the COVID-19 pandemic, children have not fully recovered from the effects of lockdowns. And new crises have not helped their mental health. The impacts are even more apparent now, and educational-psychological counseling centers are still overwhelmed.
According to special educator Jitka Svátková from the Association of Workers of Educational-Psychological Counseling, children of preschool age face great difficulties. Their attendance in kindergartens was complicated after lockdowns and quarantines because they were not sufficiently immune to common childhood illnesses. Hence, they had a lot of absences when they returned to kindergarten. And there are also problems with the availability of speech therapy. It was mostly banned for them during the pandemic, and now speech therapists are overwhelmed.
“And then, teenagers have big problems accompanied by hormonal changes. It all means great pressure when added to the return to school and the need to catch up with the curriculum. Children who would normally cope with some common anxiety have shown an increased level of it and need more care,” Svátková explained.
Lenka Felcmanová, the head of the SOFA organization, which focuses on mental health, coping with difficult children’s behavior, and inclusion in education, also confirms her words.
“Nothing has stopped. The situation for children with difficulties and mental health is still not improving. Problems with attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and aggressiveness have not been solved,” she said. And in many cases, they escalate. “Sometimes it goes to extremes when social phobias emerge, and the child is not even able to enter the school’s premises,” she described.
According to her, the main problem is the unavailability of specialized care. Some schools that have school psychologists can handle and stabilize the child’s complex state. But there is also a shortage of school psychologists. For example, even five schools often share one specialist who attends school for one or two hours a week.
“It is also related to the situation in families. An energy crisis followed the pandemic, and it was uncomfortable for many families in recent months. Tension is growing, and violence is increasing. The pressures then manifest in children,” Felcmanová said.
She also admitted that schools and counseling centers must deal with small children who started school after the pandemic and were unprepared for attendance.
“If the parent could not devote enough time to the children during their absence from kindergarten, for example, to work on worksheets with them, new students could not distinguish shapes properly or handle graphomotor skills well. It had to be caught up in the last school year, and it will not be much better this year,” she added.
The pandemic has had a profound impact on children’s mental health, and it is not going away soon. Counseling centers and schools need to be better equipped to handle the challenges that lie ahead. It is time for society to focus on the well-being of our children and provide them with the necessary support to overcome these difficult times.

Ram Trucks has decided to expand its portfolio with the introduction of the 2023 Ram Heavy Duty Rebel.
In addition to the usual 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine, it will now be available with an inline-six 6.7-liter
Cummins Turbo Diesel engine.
The new Ram 2500 Rebel will sit directly below the beefy Ram 2500 Power Wagon and just above the 2500 Laramie trim level
Like the Power Wagon, the 2023 Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel will be available in four-wheel drive.
But unlike the Power Wagon, the Ram 2500 Heavy Duty Rebel doesn't get a front box.
This is the second variant of the Ramu Rebel after the lightweight 1500 Rebel was introduced in 2016.
The current lineup of Ram 2500 trucks uses a massive 6.4L V8 engine that delivers 410 HP and 429 lb-ft of power and torque
The same HEMI V8 sits inside the 2023 Ram 2500 Rebel, but the vehicle also gets an optional inline-six 6.7-liter turbodiesel that delivers 370 HP and 850 lb-ft.
This is the same engine that produces 420 HP and 1,075 Nm when installed in the Ram 3500.
The power output of the 2023 Ram Heavy Duty Rebel may be slightly less than the V8, but the torque delivered by the diesel engine is nearly double. gasoline V8
The turbodiesel trim gets a six-speed automatic transmission, and the peppier V8 is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The transmission allows you to choose whether you want these power values on all four wheels or just the rear two.
This setup is complemented by a single-screen display that shows both sides of the 2500 Rebel to aid drivers in maneuvering towing movements.

Physical Causes of Female Sexual Dysfunction
There are any number of physical reasons why women might suffer from sexual dysfunction, ranging from the effects of certain drugs to age-related changes. In this section, we'll cover the physical causes of female sexual dysfunction.
Hormones are usually at the top of the list when it comes to tracking any changes, good or bad, in the human body. In women, estrogen and progesterone, which are produced in the ovaries, play enormously important and diverse roles, depending largely on age. Until a woman is in her forties, these hormones, as well as testosterone and other androgens, are operating more or less at full blast.
Testosterone fuels the sex drive, (yes, in women, too!) and estrogen keeps the vaginal environment moist. (However, vaginal dryness is still possible around the time of the woman's period or if she's taking certain oral contraceptives. In those cases, a water-based lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly, can help.)
Alternatively, an oral contraceptive with a high ratio of estrogen to progestin (a component of progesterone) may be the answer. Women who use triphasic pills, which contain variable combinations of estrogen and progestin, report more interest in sex and greater arousal. This may be because triphasics better mimic natural hormonal fluctuations.
Erratic estrogen output can wreak havoc on a woman's sex life. Ovulation becomes a very chancy occurrence, and many couples have been surprised by pregnancy. This uncertainty makes some women nervous about sex even if contraception is used.
As menopause gets closer, hormone levels begin to drop. Eventually the ovaries stop making estrogen and progesterone, and the vaginal wall becomes drier and less elastic, making intercourse painful. Hormone replacement therapy, either systemic (affecting the entire body) or topical (a cream applied to the vagina) can ease intercourse.
Impaired Blood Vessels
The study by Dr. Goldstein mentioned on the previous page suggests sexual dysfunction in women may be traced to vascular disease, specifically, decreased blood flow in vessels leading to sex organs. This would be similar to a leading cause of erectile dysfunction in men. Dr. Goldstein describes sexual dysfunction as, essentially, a "heart attack" of the vagina, clitoris, or penis. However, this field of study is very new, and not everyone agrees with Dr. Goldstein's theory.
Being tired is a real sex-buster. Sex therapist Domeena Renshaw recommends an unusual plan to tired women: Pick a night and set your alarm to ring 90 minutes after you go to bed. That's when your first sexual sleep cycle begins, she says, so you should be at peak arousal. Get up, shower together, and make love.
The shower refreshes you and the lovemaking relaxes you for getting back to sleep, plus you're getting some much-needed sexual time with your partner. Should your partner have ED problems, you can time this activity with the use of a drug like Viagra.
Hormonal changes, arthritis, heart disease, and other physical conditions may mean you'll have to adapt your activities accordingly, but there's no need to fall in with the myth that getting older means giving up sex. Freedom from pregnancy, comfort with one's body, and familiarity with your partner's responses can enhance sex in later years. In fact, data from the National Survey of Families and Households revealed that one quarter of married people over the age of 76 reported having sex at least once in the previous month.
Physical factors aren't the only causes of sexual dysfunction in women -- there also are medical issues. These are addressed on the next page.

When you’re going on a trip that lasts longer than a week, you want to pack enough so that you’re not wearing the same thing five times. However, you don’t want to be facing an extra bag charge at the airport, or deal with the fee for going over the 50 pound weight limit for checked bags. The ideal situation is to have a carry on and a personal item, but what options are there if you’re traveling for an extended period of time and have a suitcase that won’t close?
Are you on the lookout for a brand new TV? If you have answered in the affirmative, then you would be pleased to know that Sony has announced its brand new range of Sony BRAVIA OLED 4K HDR TV collection — alongside its pricing and availability, of course. This would be Sony’s first large consumer OLED TVs, where they boast of unparalleled black levels alongside contrast, a brand new Acoustic Surface sound technology, all packed into a unique design.
Fancy getting a new timepiece, now that your current one has started to lose its lustre, or needs some maintenance to get it up and running at optimal levels? Casio might have the answer for those who have a Japanese slant to things in the form of the latest G-SHOCK model, which would be the Akazonae-inspired MR-G. This luxury timepiece will boast of coloring that can only be found in traditional samurai armor, and nowhere else.
Bumper stickers have long since been a way of communicating your thoughts, feelings, and opinions about the state of the world in a very public manner. You can cheer on a politician, encourage people to smile, or give warning that others are too close behind your car for your liking, all from a paper sticker on your bumper. The problem with this form of communication is that the sticker is going to fade from exposure to the elements, and your opinion on the content of the sticker might one day change.
Our society is heavily based in an endless cycle of buying, throwing out, and upgrading the things we own. It’s not like we want to cover our country in a landfill, but there isn’t much of a push to fix, recycle, or reuse things. That being said, there are lots of ways you can make your current belongings last longer, and that goes for everything from gadgets and gizmos to clothing.
You might be one of those filthy rich people who are able to afford the best bed possible, but on the other hand, you might be one who finds it difficult to fall asleep on that mighty expensive bed. Perhaps having too much to worry about concerning your fortune sprouting wings and flying away, eh? Well, the ZEEQ smart pillow is something that might help you get to sleep better, and not only that, improve the level of sleep quality while making sure that your partner remains undisturbed along the way.
“Selfie time!” is a phrase that many of us hear on a regular basis, and even more so when it comes to gatherings with family and friends. Check out social media accounts of many people today, and you will see selfies and food shots being two very popular themes. Well, the front-facing camera has certainly improved by leaps and bounds over the years in a smartphone, but there is still room for improvement. Case-Mate knows this, which is why they have worked with Allure in order to deliver the all-new Allure x Case-Mate Selfie Case.
When you work a 9-5 salaried job, you’re supposed to clock in, do your work, and clock out. While that’s what should be happening, you almost always end up working overtime and stressing out about what didn’t get finished or is on the docket for tomorrow even though there’s nothing to be done about it in your off hours. There are those lucky few who enjoy their jobs though, and don’t mind that their work bleeds into the rest of their lives.
If you are a fitness buff who would like to keep track of your exercise regime while making sure that everything is on track to meet your performance standards, then you would probably eat the right stuff that suits the path to your fitness goals. Some of us might even enlist the assistance of hardware and apps to aid us along. After all, if something can be measured, it can be improved, right? The Polar H10 is one such device, being a newly available heart rate sensor that is also touted to be the most accurate of its kind in the world today.
We are making our gadgets and gizmos more and more streamlined to the point where you can’t even tell when we’re using them. Fifty years ago people would’ve thought you were insane if you talked into a cell phone, and relegated it to the work of demons. Even now we have Bluetooth headsets so we don’t even have to hold the phone up to our ears.

Last reviewed 28 July 2020
A report by the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services in England (ADASS) has recommended that more care is provided to people in their own homes and has called for a move away from long-term support in care homes. The report said reform must be underpinned by a "Home First” principle, with a much stronger emphasis on existing types of care and support that are housing based, such as "supported living" and "extra care housing", as well as new and innovative forms of care.
According to the report, this could mean a shift away from existing types of residential care with, for example, a lesser reliance on long stay, larger scale care homes "although they may continue to play a key role in reablement and short-term care". ADASS has called for a two-year funding settlement in 2020 to ensure the short-term sustainability and continuity of care, and to create the space for a national conversation to shape a new person-centred vision for adult social care.
The public conversation about adult social care reform is one of the nine recommendations made in the ADASS report. It also calls for locally-determined integrated care with local authorities coordinating care and support, and a complete review of how care markets operate and the suitability, sufficiency, sustainability, social value and quality of provision, with a consideration of regulation.
The report also recommends addressing current system inequalities that adversely impact people with learning disabilities, mental health and substance misuse issues, older people, women, BAME communities and those at end of their lives; it calls for housing to become central to care; a workforce strategy offering fair national care wages, training and career progression and greater support for informal carers; prioritisation of access to technological solutions; a cross-government strategy to enable people with care needs to live a good life; and a funded, managed transition from current care system to the new system to ensure service continuity for people with care needs.
ADASS President James Bullion stated in the report: "We have the opportunity to be radical, to be person-centred and to be transformative. We must seize this opportunity with both hands".
