Killinaboy Mapping group at X-PO
2008 - Present
Naming and tracing of the occupants of Kilnaboy’s townlands from 1842 to the present.
The Killinaboy Mapping group was one of the first groups to emerge from the X-PO project, meeting weekly over the winter months to collate, share and map, place-based knowledges associated with the area. They conducted interviews, walked the townlands and compared oral history with documentary evidence. The “official” survey map has been overlaid with a fluid, changing narrative and the annual public exhibitions are now a forum for an open-ended story of place as visitors bring in new information.
In 2013, they held an exhibition at the Courthouse Gallery, Ennistymon County Clare where all the townlands were represented and have since focused their research on the roads, bothereens and paths of the parish.
In 2016 the group were filmed as part of the Iarsma: Fragments From An Archive film-based research in response to the Tim Robinson Archive at University College Galway and in 2020 reviewed their work over 13 years in an interview with Tom Flanagan for Folk Radio.

Tillamook Cheese is launching a petition to change the name of American cheese because they think it’s unworthy of being called American.
What’s in American Cheese? According to the FDA it’s not even allowed to be called cheese at all. In fact, the processed cheese product contains 18 different ingredients including sorbic acid and sodium phosphate.
Apparently, Tillamook takes cheese identity very seriously. The brand has launched a White House petition to get the name “American Cheese” changed to something else. They’ve also created, with the help of 72andSunny, a radical campaign featuring our countries most iconic figures riding majestic American beasts and destroying the processed cheese product.
The petition currently has about 500 signatures and will end July 23.

Little people know that female celebrities like BLACKPINK Jennie – Nana Komatsu, Park Shin Hye – IU, Yang Mi – Qin Lan, etc… dated the same male celebrity.
The old and new lovers of male celebrities are often considered “love rivals” in the public eyes, though they never compete for anything. As a result, many people find it exciting when female celebrities who date the same man have encounters, and BLACKPINK Jennie – Nana Komatsu, Park Shin Hye – IU, Yang Mi – Qin Lan, etc… have all experienced this.
Jennie (BLACKPINK) – Nana Komatsu
Both BLACKPINK Jennie and Nana Komatsu were alleged girlfriends of BIGBANG leader G-Dragon. In 2018, the two gorgeous female celebrities met in an international event, and interacted closely as if they have always been friends.
On the other hand, Nana Komatsu was reportedly in a relationship with G-Dragon up until 2018, while in 2021, Dispatch claimed that Jennie and G-Dragon were dating. As a result, when the two meet, they immediately become the talk of town, with G-Dragon constantly being mentioned by netizens.
Park Shin Hye – IU
In 2015, both Park Shin Hye and IU appeared at the Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards. Alongside standing side by side when they came on stage, the two female celebrities were even seated next to each other.
At the time, Park Shin Hye was rumored to be dating Lee Jong Suk. Now, the actor has revealed his happy relationship with IU.
Lee Da Hae – Park Han Byul
Lee Da Hae and Park Han Byul attended an event of Konkuk University in 2009. It was known that actor Lee Min Ki was also among the participants.
Back in 2009, Park Han Byul was in a relationship with famous singer Se7en. However, they broke up in 2014, after Se7en was discovered to have gone to “adult massage rooms” when he was still in the military.
Then, 2 years later, Se7en and Lee Da Hae announced their relationship, and Lee Da Hae and Park Han Byul’s appearance together once again drew attention.
Fan Bingbing – Zhang Xinyu
To the public, Fan Bingbing and Zhang Xinyu have always boasted a rocky relationship, having both dated Chinese actor Li Chen. However, back in 2014, they worked together on the set of “The Empress of China” and had a decent friendship, even posting photos together.
At the time the aforementioned photos were released, Zhang Xinyu already broke up with Li Chen, while Fan Bingbing has yet revealed her relationship with the male actor. It was only until a year later did the couple admit to dating.
Unfortunately, it seems that Fan Bingbing and Zhang Xinyu’s friendship have soured after the dating announcement. They were regarded as “water and fire” by netizens, and often indirectly mentioned each other in a not-so-positive light.
Yang Mi – Qin Lan
Becoming close with each other from the same friend group “Teddy Sisters,” Yang Mi and Qin Lan were both in a relationship with the wealthy Chinese actor Wei Daxun at one point. While no longer in the same friend group, Yang Mi and Qin Lan still show strong sisterhood in their public appearances. At the award ceremony of the 2019 “Golden Rooster Awards,” the pair was seen holding their hands and walking together on the red carpet.
Currently, Qin Lan is dating Wei Daxun, who was caught in a dating scandal with Yang Mi from 2019 to 2021. At the end of 2020, Chinese paparazzi still caught the alleged couple in the same building, raising suspicion that they still lived together.
Yang Mi – Li Xiaofeng
Yang Mi and Hawick Lau was an admirable couple of Cbiz but officially divorced in 2018. Later, Hawick Lau got a new girlfriend, Li Xiaofeng. In the new drama series “She and Her Perfect Husband” starring Yang Mi, Li Xiaofeng ironically played her best friend.
Hawick Lau – Wei Daxun
Hawick Lau and Wei Daxun are Yang Mi’s ex-boyfriends. Coincidentally, they have appeared together in a lot of occasions. In 2017, Wei Daxun and Hawick Lau appeared on the famous show “Happy Camp”, sitting side by side, arm in arm. At the time, Hawick Lau and Yang Mi were legally husband and wife and Yang Mi had not dated Wei Daxun.
In September 2021, Wei Daxun and Hawick Lau appeared together on another show, but this time, Yang Mi and Hawick Lau had already parted ways and the actress was dating Wei Daxun.
Zhou Xun – Faye Wong
Zhou Xun and Faye Wong were deeply in love with Li Yapeng. Zhou Xun and Li Yapeng developed feelings from their collaboration on “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” in 2000 but broke up after a few years together. Faye Wong and actor Li went through an 8-year long marriage from 2005 to 2013.
While the public frequently thought of the actress and singer-songwriter as “rivals,” they were actually close friends in real life, as seen from their co-appearance in “PhantaCity” in 2018.

Online narratives and peer support for colorectal cancer screening: a pilot randomized trial.
- Additional Document Info
- View All
BACKGROUND: Delivering personal narratives and peer support for CRC screening in an online weight-loss community could be an efficient approach to engaging individuals at increased risk, because obesity is associated with excess colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality and lower screening rates. PURPOSE: Evaluate user engagement and impact of narratives and peer support for promoting CRC screening in an online weight-loss community. DESIGN: Pilot randomized trial. SETTING/PARTICIPANTS: Members of an online weight-loss community who were not up-to-date with CRC screening were enrolled in the study in 2011. INTERVENTION: Basic and Enhanced groups (n=153 each) both received education. The Enhanced group also received narratives and peer support for CRC screening in online forums. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main measures were user engagement, psychosocial outcomes, and self-report CRC screening at 6 months. Analyses were conducted with (1) the full sample of participants and (2) a minimum dose sample of those who participated in their assigned intervention to a minimum degree. Analyses were completed in 2012. RESULTS: Participants were mostly female (92%) with a mean age of 56 years. More than 90% in both groups viewed the educational information. Only 57% in the Enhanced group joined the online team. The Enhanced group had greater improvement in motivation for screening than the Basic group at 1 month (p=0.03). In the full sample, there was no difference in CRC screening at 6 months (Enhanced 19% vs Basic 16%, adjusted OR=1.33, 95% CI=0.73, 2.42). In the minimum dose sample, fecal occult blood testing was higher in the Enhanced (14%) vs Basic (7%) group (adjusted OR=2.49, 95% CI=1.01, 6.17). CONCLUSIONS: Although no between-group differences in CRC screening were seen at 6 months, this study did demonstrate that it is feasible to deploy a narrative and peer support intervention for CRC screening in a randomized trial among members of an online community. However, modifications are needed to improve user engagement. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01411826.

Aruna Shields - This Blog contains all about the British actress aruna shields who debuted in India in prince film released in 2010. Also the British actor has completed two feature films which will be released soon worldwide.
This stunning Brit babe has already made it to Bollywood’s popularity charts, and while everyone wants to know more about her, ZOOM has stumbled upon some little known facts about Aruna Shields. Prince is not her first movie, really. In the past she has featured in a very steamy movie called, Private Moments, which was made by Jagmohan Mundhra. Apparently, this movie was supposed to be a version of the runaway hit series Sex and the City, but meant for the UK audiences. We’re guessing it was more of the ‘sex’ and less of the ‘city’. You know what we mean — it was more love and sex, and less of dhoka. Gotit? The sexy Shields has done some pretty bold and sizzling scenes, even showing flashes of her well-toned body. Ahem! When we spoke to Mundhra, he confirmed it, “Yes, she has done this movie which was an attempt on the lines of Sex and the City. There were steamy scenes, but it was meant for the UK market. In fact, Kumar Taurani took Aruna’s contact details from me and I highly recommended her for Prince. At first, she was panicking as she didn’t know a word of Hindi, I pushed her to do it and look what she has pulled off. ” We thought Aruna would want to keep this as a lesser known secret, but when we quizzed her about it, talking from London she candidly confessed, “I have done Private Moments, it was quite a glam role for the UK market. If I get a chance to do something similar for Bollywood, I wouldn’t mind doing it at all.” Source :: http://bit.ly/ayecKk Thanks.

Imagine is a song composed by John Lennon, a well-known musician. It was largely motivated by the need to promote global peace. Specifically, Imagine intended to evoke profound feelings in audiences about the daily challenges that we face as humans. The album was released in September 1971 and quickly became one of the greatest hits of all time. Many people were lovers of rock music at the time, making it possible to spread the desired message not just in the United Kingdom, but also in the United States and other developing countries. The strong liberation message in Lennon_x0092_s music found himself at loggerheads with many political leaders in the world that we're surviving through the exploitation of the masses. Besides, not all leaders were playing their roles well in ensuring that the world was a better place to live that found Lennon to be intimidating.
Lennon adopted a straightforward approach to addressing fundamental issues that affect the society. He was asking the audience to imagine a world where there were no differences that cause divisions among the people like social-economic classes and religion. The political message in the song is sugar-coated with an outstanding melody to reach a wider audience. The song urges people to remain optimistic about the existence of peace and strive to make the world a better place. The theme is developed further through the last stanza, _x0093__x0085_someday you will join us_x0085_.world we live as one_x0094_.
There are many parts of the song where ethos can be identified like, _x0093_You may say that I am a dreamer_x0085_ the world will be as one_x0094_ (Rounds, 2007). Lennon further said that he is not the only one who believes in his rather weird idea, _x0093_imagine no possessions, and I wonder if you can_x0094_ (Rounds, 2007). In this line, the audience is challenged and made to concentrate more through the imagination that the author would proceed to write down. The statement was however odd yet so powerful given that he had everything he would ever want. If people did not have anything in their possession, the war would be shifted to controlling or acquiring the means making it worse than those who do not have it all. The idea of bringing these intriguing thought reinforces credibility, with the listeners/readers getting a chance to associate with his points.
The article further noted that the piece of poetry was more amusing when it was put into a song. Singing the composition was a way of establishing his pathos making listeners to be more glued to this masterpiece. The words at the end of every verse (Imagine all people living for today) were further meant to establish pathos, triggering imaginative thoughts and feelings of how life would be in such a scenario. The start of every verse with the word imagine was meant to create more emphasis on the need to continuously think and deeply get the emotions.
The article further established the presence of different types of logos which were more artistic. There are no difficulties in establishing the truth behind ideas because every thought was firmly anchored on common knowledge. Lennon words on the imagination of a world without religion, thus perpetual peace, makes the readers associate with the calamities, hatred, and killings emanating from the differences in religion, ideologies and other rifts that deprives of the world its peace. The tone, which is mostly formal managed to draw the attention of the targeted audiences in the citizenry and leadership positions. The latter, however, turns out to be having more responsibility in the promotion of the good vices in the society for peace to prevail. The relevance of his ideas in the modern world is held in great awe hence proving the efficiency in applying kairos. The effectiveness of using ethos, pathos, kairos, and logos in the song, as brought out in the article, had made the late John Lennon continue influencing generations in thinking of ways to make the world a better place.
A lesson can be drawn from the mixed reactions that were witnessed among many world leaders particularly those that were surviving through maximizing on the societal problems to ensure they maintained power and authority. The song was released during one of the most turbulent times in the American history when the Vietnam Conflict was ongoing between 1945-1975 (Prados, 2009). Like a section of the citizens believed, Lennon held the idea that the nation was engaging in a war that was not its own. The dire consequences were thousands of people being left dead in its wake. The message in the song therefore aimed at reestablishing peace both from within and outside the territorial boundaries. Besides, it is worth noting that failing to make world peace and opting to go into war as a measure of achieving world peace has been a costly process for both for countries who fail to dialogue or use soft power like effecting sanctions to harm the economy.
A rhetorical analysis of the paper has revealed that ethos, pathos, logos, and kairos were effectively used in passing the intended message. Besides, the way these rhetorical devices have been incorporated reveals that the composer was well versed with the knowledge of his field that requires deep imaginations and creativity. The choice of the sentences was also elegant with verses beginning with the word "imagine" and proceeding with an empathetic comment. A one goes through the lyrics, it is further evident that each verse becomes more challenging than the previous one. Lennon, therefore, played a significant role in spreading the message of optimism hope and optimism for all the people in the world regardless of their race, religion, nationality and ethnic background. Although looking like a communist manifesto that would not appeal in capitalistic setting, the good intentions and lessons ought to have been learned in pursuit of a high degree of happiness.

EU Plans Tough Conflict Diamond Rules
Rough diamonds will not be allowed into the European Union unless they have a certificate stating they are from non-conflict countries if a tough new EU rules goes into effect, reports the Financial Times.
The EU's requirement of a certificate of origin for each gemstone helps it conform to the global system of warranties laid out by Kimberley Process. The Kimberley plan is intended to crack down on diamonds sold to fund criminal or other nefarious causes. It calls for diamonds to be tracked from mine to retail store.
The EU's decision is significant. Two European Union countries, England and Belgium, account for the vast majority of the worldwide trade in uncut diamonds, so tough EU rules will help track the greatest number of diamonds. Also, nations that are part of Kimberley Process must pass rules or legislation to comply with the Kimberley system and few have done so thus far. Supporters of the fight against conflict diamonds hope the EU's move will prompt other countries to get moving, since the system is planned to operate fully by November.
In the U.S., for example, the Campaign to Eliminate Conflict Diamonds consisting of human rights groups and the World Diamond Council is putting pressure on Congress and the Bush administration to pass legislation allowing the U.S. to be a full partner in enacting the Kimberley system. So far, the campaign has met with little interest, but the EU move could attract some notice within the U.S. government.
Under the commission's plans which the Financial Times says it has seen rough diamonds imported into any EU nation will be required to have a certificate of origin stating the country of extraction. Diamonds coming from conflict zones or those without a certificate will be refused entry.
The EU rules will go beyond the Kimberley Process, reports the Associated Press, by requiring re-export certificates be issued for each subsequent movement of diamonds until cut into finished jewels. The Kimberley Process calls for a voluntary system of warranties enacted and tracked by the industry itself, after diamonds are vetted conflict-free with certificates by the exporting and importing nations.

A Small Fire follows John and Emily Bridges, a long-married couple whose happy, middle-class lives are upended when Emily is overcome by a mysterious disease. As this indomitable woman’s senses are slowly stripped away—smell, taste, sight—she finds herself suddenly and completely dependent on the husband whose endless devotions she had always taken for granted, and their lives transform in ways neither could have imagined.
The show runs 90 minutes with no intermission.
* * *
A Small Fire Follows a Family’s Struggle With a Strange Isolating Disorder
“Adam Bock’s A Small Fire, currently appearing at Portland Center Stage, might be a small play but it asks some pretty big questions…this lean, spare drama explores the nature of life, love, and human connection — big subjects indeed.”
“Directed by PCS associate artistic director Rose Riordan, who also directed the PCS productions of The Thugs and The Receptionist, the play’s four-member cast works wonderfully well together.
Peggy J. Scott ably portrays Emily’s fiery feistiness and her irascibility, and yet even from the start she allows us to see that beneath the crusty exterior there is a woman, who in her own way really means well. As Emily’s disabilities reduce her to helplessness, some of the abrasive edge that is predominant early on gives way to a reluctant patience and finally at play’s end to something approaching a subdued ecstasy.
Scott’s Emily is nicely complemented by Tom Bloom’s John Bridges. Bloom’s Tom is low-keyed, even tempered. His movements are restrained, thoughtful, and deliberate, and he speaks with an unruffled easy rhythm. Sure, occasionally he allows us a glimpse of a tortured grimace but only when no one else on stage could possibly detect his dismay. As Billy, Emily’s construction company employee, Isaac Lamb gives us a good-hearted teddy bear of a man, and Holleye Gilbert, as John and Emily’s daughter Jenny, very ably conveys the frustrated deep-seated ambivalence she feels toward her mother — a woman who could never offer Jenny the tenderness she so desperately sought.”

In selling Obamacare before Congress a decade ago, President Barack Obama promised that he “would not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits, either now or in the future.”
From her perch behind the president, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi leaped out of her seat applauding at this line. So did Vice President Joe Biden and the entire Democrat caucus.
But it turns out that although these politicians talked about fiscal responsibility when passing Obamacare, they weren’t serious.
The government funding deal, expected to pass both houses of Congress and be signed by President Donald Trump this week, blows up any remaining facade that Obamacare was fiscally responsible.
The budget deal repeals Obamacare’s key revenue raisers, leaving mostly its big-spending provisions. For good measure, the deal guts potential program integrity efforts the Trump administration could take to tighten program spending.
Obamacare is expensive. The law’s massive expansion of Medicaid is busting spending forecasts in nearly every state that expanded. The federal government is spending about $70 billion a year on the Medicaid expansion, including for an estimated 2.3 to 3.3 million enrollees who aren’t eligible for the program.
The law’s insurance subsidies are also costly. The subsidies must track individual market premiums. As premiums exploded as a result of Obamacare’s requirements for what the insurance must cover and how it must be priced, so have the subsidies.
Overall, individual market enrollment is up only by about 3 million individuals since before Obamacare, even though the federal government is spending nearly $50 billion on premium subsidies—or nearly $17,000 per new enrollee.
Obama and Democrats claimed that all this spending would be fully paid for from other provisions of the law, including 20 new or expanded taxes, Medicare payment reductions, and a variety of financing gimmicks.
Although Obamacare’s Medicare payment reductions remain, Congress already has repealed or delayed several of the taxes and financing gimmicks.
This funding deal kills Obamacare’s “Cadillac” tax and health insurance tax—which collectively would raise deficits by $350 billion over a decade. Congress also would eliminate the medical device tax, which raises less revenue.
Understandably, industry opposes Obamacare taxes that negatively affect them. The medical device tax discourages innovation, and the health insurance tax raises premiums.
The so-called Cadillac tax was the law’s main provision to “bend the cost curve” by applying an excise tax on expensive health insurance. Currently, the tax benefit for health insurance is uncapped, which pushes up spending and reduces wages.
Rather than repealing the Cadillac tax, I outlined in July an alternative that would exempt contributions to health savings accounts from the value of the insurance. This would shift the tax advantage toward an account where consumers have greater control and an incentive to shop.
Another sensible alternative, as recommended by The Heritage Foundation, would be replacing the Cadillac tax with a cap on the amount of coverage that could be excluded from taxation.
The deal to strike the Cadillac tax without any alternative shows that neither party is serious about getting health care costs under control.
The deal also hands out more goodies to hospitals. Obamacare reduced federal funding to hospitals for uncompensated care. The law’s coverage expansion was supposed to make this funding unnecessary. No matter, the hospitals get these cuts restored and all the federal spending on the expanded coverage.
The deal also limits the executive branch from improving program integrity by curbing practices that increase taxpayer costs. For 2021, the Trump administration is prohibited from addressing how insurers have gamed Obamacare’s complicated subsidy formula in order to maximize their federal payments.
More appalling, the deal limits the administration’s ability to address improper enrollment. Like the incentives that have led to large numbers of improper enrollees in the Medicaid expansion, Obamacare includes similarly bad incentives for improper enrollment in the heavily subsidized insurance exchanges.
Efforts should be made to more closely scrutinize enrollment, not loosen reviews.
For example, current customers who don’t actively enroll in a new plan or maintain their current plan during open enrollment automatically are re-enrolled in a plan for the following year. This is true even if they pay no premium for the plan because taxpayers cover the entire cost.
Having enrollees do something affirmative, such as checking a box that they don’t have another source of affordable coverage and that they still desire this coverage, is commonsense policy with minimal burden on enrollees.
In sum, Democrats likely couldn’t have enacted Obamacare if they were upfront about the fact that it would explode federal deficits.
And Republicans should have tried to get policy reforms in exchange for relieving Democrats of the political pain of their Obamacare tax hikes. Instead, they got little in return, and Congress is about to make both fiscal and health policy worse.

Talking about your feelings is important, but so is writing about them. Journaling is an excellent tool for self-discovery that can provide much-needed emotional release during recovery.
If you are new to journaling, it’s important to understand that there is no right or wrong way of doing it. You don’t need to have earned straight As in English or harbor dreams of publishing a memoir before writing in a journal. In fact, all you need to get started is the notebook and writing instrument of your choice.
Writing as Meditation
Think of journaling as a form of meditation. It might help to sit still for a moment and get centered. Then, get writing. Write whatever comes to mind and put it down on the page. The act of writing on paper, not typing on a keyboard, helps to clear your mind, just as deep breathing does during meditation.
Many professional writers say they don’t wait for inspiration; they just show up at their desks each day and go to work. Take a page from their book—quite literally—and schedule time to journal every day for at least a few minutes. If a few minutes is all you have, feel free to set a timer to signal the end of your writing session. Once this becomes a regular practice, you’ll be surprised at how quickly you can fill up pages in a short amount of time.
If staring at an empty page is unpleasant, use a prompt to get you started more quickly. Something as simple as, “Today I feel…” can be a great way to get your brain working and the ink flowing.
Turn Off Your Inner Critic
This is a journal, not the Great American Novel. Even if you do have greater aspirations as a writer, you don’t have to let anyone but yourself see your journal.
This is not the time to worry about grammar, spelling, or penmanship. It’s also not the time to worry about what anyone thinks. These are your private thoughts and feelings on the page. You might choose to keep them in the notebook, or you might tear them out and discard them. Either way, getting it down on paper is therapeutic for when you or a loved one is in recovery.
If you’d like to know more about other tools and resources that are helpful to you or your loved ones in recovery, contact our trained admissions counselors at 866-349-1770.

04 Jan Of Love & Loss
Welcome, Wednesday. It’s a big day for the LOL. Tonight is our monthly meeting, when we will be discussing our latest novel, Annabel. New Year’s resolutions to curtail food and drink may be thwarted as the appies roll out and the wine doth pour but recent events have only served to confirm my motto: Live a lot. Not just a little. A lot. Seize this life with all your might and delight in it every moment you can.
Sadly, one of our book club members and a dear friend of mine, Laura, lost her mother on New Year’s Day. Cleone had just turned 91 on December 18th, celebrating her day with pizza and her favourite, ice-cream cake. When a common cold became complicated, she ended up in the hospital and while Laura says her mom stayed strong until the end, it was time and the New Year was ushered in with great change and great grief for my friend as she bid her mother good-bye…for now. With her permission, I share some of Laura’s thoughts on her mom. A woman of the word, Laura pays tribute beautifully:
I am blessed to have had such a strong and wise woman as my mother. She is my inspiration and I would be happy to have half of her grace, positive attitude and unassailable ability to embrace life’s hurdles. She could roll with the punches and laugh at the blows, with – I might add – a sense of humour that would crack up even the most solemn. I was so lucky to have her for as long as I did and have enough time with her at the end to say my good byes. Loosing her will create a vast emptiness in my heart, the extent of which is too soon to fully appreciate.
Reading this you will know, clearly, Laura inherited the qualities she admired in her mom. Share a glass of wine with Laura (or read her novel-in-progress)and you will know laughter and love of life–an infectious sense of humor–are among the best of those attributes passed from mother to daughter.
And so I have concluded the reading of Annabel with a smile on my face. Oh, how I love a great ending, worthy of a great book. I wish I could chat endlessly about the the conclusion..there’s so much to say…but I am reluctant to spoil it for those who have yet to pick up Kathleen Winter’s book. Like many who have read it (I’m sure) I kept wondering how she would bring it around. How would she resolve Wayne’s quest for self? I won’t tell you, but in reading some of the praise for the novel, I was struck by a couple in particular. From the Ottawa Citizen:
“Annabel is less about gender divides and more about the gossamer lines that connect one to another. A book like this, its topic and beautiful language, the unrelenting sorrow, Winter’s insightful characterizations and utter sensitivity, is difficult to do justice with these few words…”
And this, from A.L. Kennedy:
“Annabel is a mature and beautifully crafted debut, full of savagely clear-eyed observation and startling compassion.”
I love that! “Savagely clear-eyed observation” and “startling compassion”. The wild scenery, the wild animals, and the wild nature of man: There are moments near the end of the novel that are completely savage and raw and frankly hard to read as you envision Wayne’s ordeal, yet there are precious interactions with people who shed such wisdom, offer sincere compassion, and act with such authentic decency, the reader is offered a sense of hope. When Wayne is experimenting with his feminine side and meets a Lancolm makeup artist who sits him down to apply cosmetics to Wayne’s face, Winter employs humor while elevating the artist to a rarely seen role of genuine goodness. Wayne decides the artist looks like actor/comedian, Robin Williams and thereafter refers to him as “Robin Williams” in his mind.
“He said this with kindness, and Wayne had a sense of the world being a place where everyone had the sorrows he had, whereas, before sitting here with Robin Williams, the world had been a place where most people coped much better than Wayne did. Wayne pictured everyone in the rain with their sorrows, which were quiet, personal sorrows of every kind, and Robin Williams had studied them all.”
“Robin Williams felt that life was something in which maybe you would cry, and he gave every woman dignity by tracing her mouth, her eyes, her skin, with kind hands.”
I could go on…There’s so much to say about this book…so many interactions, small shared events, seemingly mundane moments between people, so poignant, so simple on the surface but which really uncovered something so much deeper about who each of them was…those passages were poetry.
I loved Robin Williams and the light he lent simply by being, by giving, by receiving, without judgment or question or condemnation. There are more such touching moments with other characters, namely Wayne’s father, Wally, & Thomasina that lent their own light and offered up hope in this novel.
…Embracing life, with all its sorrow and all its joy and all its mystery, seizing it and doing what we can with what we’ve been given.

ADMELOG (Insulin Lispro)
ADMELOG (Insulin Lispro)
What is this medication?
Admelog is a hormone that works by lowering levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Insulin lispro is a fast-acting insulin that starts to work about 15 minutes after injection, peaks in about 1 hour, and keeps working for 2 to 4 hours.
Admelog is used to improve blood sugar control in adults and children with diabetes mellitus.
Admelog is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults, or type 1 diabetes in adults and children who are at least 3 years old.
How should I use Admelog?
Use Admelog exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Use the medicine exactly as directed.
Admelog is injected under the skin with a syringe and needle, a SoloStar injection pen, or with an infusion pump. A healthcare provider will teach you how to properly use the injection by yourself.
Read and carefully follow any Instructions for Use provided with your medicine. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you do not understand these instructions.
Prepare your injection only when you are ready to give it. Do not use if the medicine looks cloudy, has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your pharmacist for new medicine.
Admelog is given within 15 minutes before a meal, or right after eating.
Your healthcare provider will show you where on your body to inject Admelog. Use a different place each time you give an injection. Do not inject into the same place two times in a row. Do not inject into skin that is damaged, tender, bruised, pitted, thickened, scaly, or has a scar or hard lump.
Never share the SoloStar injection pen, Admelog vial, or syringe with another person, even if the needle has been changed. Sharing these devices can allow infections or disease to pass from one person to another.
You may have low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and feel very hungry, dizzy, irritable, confused, anxious, or shaky. To quickly treat hypoglycemia, eat or drink a fast-acting source of sugar (fruit juice, hard candy, crackers, raisins, or non-diet soda).
Your doctor may prescribe a glucagon injection kit in case you have severe hypoglycemia. Be sure your family or close friends know how to give you this injection in an emergency.
Also watch for signs of high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) such as increased thirst or urination.
Blood sugar levels can be affected by stress, illness, surgery, exercise, alcohol use, or skipping meals. Ask your doctor before changing your dose or medication schedule.
Who should avoid Admelog?
Admelog should not be given to a child younger than 3 years old. This medicine should not be used to treat type 2 diabetes in a child of any age.
To make sure Admelog is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:
- liver or kidney disease;
- heart problems; or
- low levels of potassium in your blood hypokalemia.
Tell your doctor if you also take medicine that contains pioglitazone, rosiglitazone. Taking certain oral diabetes medicines while you are using Admelog may increase your risk of serious heart problems.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Follow your doctor's instructions about using insulin if you are pregnant or you become pregnant. Controlling diabetes is very important during pregnancy, and having high blood sugar may cause complications in both the mother and the baby.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since Admelog is used with meals, you may not be on a timed dosing schedule. Whenever you use Admelog, follow the directions for your specific brand about whether to use the medicine before of after you eat. Do not use two doses at one time.
How Should i store this medication?
Storing unopened (not in use) Admelog:
- Refrigerate and use until expiration date
- Store at room temperature and use within 28 days.
Storing opened (in use) Admelog:
Store the vial in a refrigerator until the expiration date on the pen or vial, or at room temperature and use within 28 days.
Store the SoloStar injection pen (without a needle attached) at room temperature and use within 28 days.
Use a needle and syringe only once and place them in a puncture-proof "sharps" container. Follow state or local laws about how to dispose of this container. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
What should I avoid while using Admelog?
Insulin can cause low blood sugar. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how Admelog will affect you.
Avoid medication errors by always checking the medicine label before injecting your insulin.
Avoid drinking alcohol.
What are Admelog side effects?
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergy to Admelog: redness or swelling where an injection was given, itchy skin rash over the entire body, trouble breathing, fast heartbeats, feeling like you might pass out, or swelling in your tongue or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
weight gain, swelling in your hands or feet, feeling short of breath;
Common Admelog side effects may include:
low blood sugar;
swelling in your hands or feet;
thickening or hollowing of the skin where you injected the medicine.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Modified fast growing poplar specimens with different plate thicknesses of 5, 10, 15, 20 mm, radial direction and chord direction), under different parameters were tested in this paper. The tests indicate that the failure gradually began by the single oblique section,then the horizontal crinkling failure occurs, finally to the double curvature failure and the single plate bending failure with gradual decrease of the plate thickness. In the compressive test of the modified specimens with different thicknesses, the mechanical properties of the modified specimens are improved greatly compared with the control specimens, the compressive strength, the peak compressive strain and the elastic modulus of the specimens increase significantly with decrease of the plate thickness. In the compression test of different texture combination modified specimens, the mechanical properties of chord and chord texture combination specimens are the best, followed by radial and radial texture combination specimens, and the lowest is chord and radial texture combination specimens. At the same time, the compressive strength, peak compressive strain and modulus of elasticity are significantly higher than those of the control specimens, and the compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of the modified specimens are lower than those of the control specimens.

Human Rights Watch has released a report entitled Losing Humanity which calls for the banning of completely autonomous military weapons systems.
Judgement Day was meant to happen on August 29, 1997. At 2.14am Eastern Time, the machines were meant to become self-aware and launch a nuclear strike against Russia, thus triggering a global nuclear war and the beginning of the end of the human race.
This is course never happened, because the Terminator and Skynet were only horrifying visions of the future as dreamed up by James Cameron in his 1984 film.
However a real judgement day may not be that far off as governments around the world pour billions of pounds into the development of autonomous weapons systems which are slowly but surely taking control from the hands of humans.
Playing the role of Sarah Connor and attempting to warn the world of impending doom is Human Rights Watch (HRW), which has just released a report called Losing Humanity - The Case against Killer Robots.
The report calls for all states to "prohibit the development, production, and use of fully autonomous weapons through an international legally binding instrument."
It also wants the adoption of national laws and policies to prevent this happening and a review to be undertaken "of technologies and components that could lead to fully autonomous weapons."
It calls on roboticists and others involved in the development of robotic weapons to draft a professional code of conduct governing research and development of autonomous robotic weapons "especially those capable of becoming fully autonomous."
However, with the US government currently spending $6bn a year on autonomous weapons and their development, it is unlikely that they would be willing to throw that money away, particularly when they are espousing the benefits of these automated systems.
The main advantage of these systems is a reduction in military casualties. This is a powerful and emotive tool in trying to sell the concept to the public. It is hard to argue with something which aims to reduce the death toll of war.
While we are still some way off having fully autonomous weapons in the wild, the HRW report details precursors which are already in operation and prototypes which claim to have the capability to remove human interaction completely.
The US military has openly stated that it is seeking to reduce human influence on its weapons systems, adding that it is looking to make its ground vehicles "fully autonomous."
The UK Ministry of Defence however, stated in 2011 that it "currently has no intention to develop systems that operate without human intervention in the weapon command and control chain."
The recent conflict in Gaza has brought to the attention of the world one of these precursors, in the shape is Israel's automatic defence system known as the Iron Dome. This may be seen as a defensive system rather than an offensive one, but there are still concerns about the amount of human oversight on these systems.
In less than a second after detecting an incoming threat, the Iron Dome sends a recommended response to the threat to an operator. The operator must decide immediately whether or not to give the command to fire in order for the Iron Dome to be effective.
Robotic warfare expert Peter W. Singer has voiced concerns about the amount of human supervision these systems need:
"The human is certainly part of the decision making but mainly in the initial programming of the robot. During the actual operation of the machine, the operator really only exercises veto power, and a decision to override a robot's decision must be made in only half a second, with few willing to challenge what they view as the better judgment of the machine."
Israel is one of a number of countries which employ automated defence systems like this with the US using its Phalanx Close-In Weapons System on aircraft carriers as far back as 1980.
While the UK may not employ an automated defence system such as Iron Dome or Phalanx, it is heavily invested in another step on the road to fully automated weapons - unmanned aircraft.
These aircraft are moving beyond the capabilities of the predator drones currently being employed in Afghanistan by the US military.
Back in 2010, the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) unveiled a prototype of its Taranis combat aircraft (above) which designers described it as "an autonomous and stealthy unmanned aircraft" that aims to strike "targets with real precision at long range, even in another continent."
The MoD said the Taranis would remain what is called a human-in-the-loop weapon, meaning it would remain under human control: "Should such systems enter into service, they will at all times be under the control of highly trained military crews on the ground."
Robotics professor Noel Sharkey has his doubts about the validity of this statement: "We need to know if this means the robot planes will choose their own targets and destroy them - because they certainly will not have the intelligence to discriminate between civilians and combatants."
Other countries are not so shy about talking up the potential of their unmanned planes.
Israel's Harpy has been described as a combination of an unmanned aerial vehicle and a cruise missile. It is designed to fly "autonomously to the patrol area." Once there, it seeks to detect hostile radar signals and then destroy a target with a high explosive warhead.
Singer sums up the belief that this process is only just beginning: "Predators are merely the first generation-the equivalent of the Model T Ford or the Wright Brothers' Flyer."
Whatever about the advancements in technology and weapons ability to do the job, the real question these weapons throw up is: who is going to take responsibility for the killing carried out by these weapons?
The report says robots with complete autonomy would be incapable of meeting international humanitarian law standards.
"The rules of distinction, proportionality, and military necessity are especially important tools for protecting civilians from the effects of war, and fully autonomous weapons would not be able to abide by those rules," the report states.
For example, distinguishing between a fearful civilian and a threatening enemy combatant requires a soldier to understand the intentions behind a human's actions, something a robot could not do.
In addition, fully autonomous weapons would likely contravene the Martens Clause, which prohibits weapons that run counter to the "dictates of public conscience."
The authors of the report believe this could lead to "emotionless robots" to serve as tools of repressive dictators seeking to crack down on their own people without fear their troops would turn on them.
"Although relying on machines to fight war would reduce military casualties-a laudable goal-it would also make it easier for political leaders to resort to force since their own troops would not face death or injury."
Think about it this way.
If a fully autonomous weapon carried out an unlawful killing, who is responsible? Options include the military commander, the programmer, the manufacturer, and even the robot itself, but none of these options is satisfactory.
The report says: "Since there is no fair and effective way to assign legal responsibility for unlawful acts committed by fully autonomous weapons, granting them complete control over targeting decisions would undermine yet another tool for promoting civilian protection."

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The battle of the budget has started in Fresno's City Hall.
One week after Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer proposed his 2022 city budget, members of the Fresno City Council braved the heat to present their own proposal.
The initiative is called "Rebuild Fresno." Fresno City Council President Luis Chavez seized on the Mayor's "One Fresno" campaign slogan to point out historical inequities in the city.
Chavez said, "We always talk about 'One Fresno.' I can tell you that we can't get to 'one Fresno' unless we rebuild Fresno, and it's going to start with rebuilding a lot of these neighborhoods that are over a hundred years old."
Council President Chavez joined with councilmembers Nelson Esparza and Miguel Arias to offer up their vision for the future of Fresno.
The five-year strategic plan is focused on rebuilding the city's oldest neighborhoods - that they represent.
Last Wednesday, the Mayor presented a $1.4 billion plan - with a vision to beautify the city and invest in the fire department.
Council Vice President Nelson Esparza says they need to think bigger.
The trio proposes spending to rebuild the city, focusing on infrastructure, redevelopment and rapidly increasing the housing stock in the city.
Esparza said, "We're no longer doing these marginal incremental investments, we want to go big, we want to go for the hail-mary, throw the long ball in and really make a major investment of about $300 million over these next five years directly into the most disadvantaged neighborhoods here in Fresno."
Councilman Arias says the city has the money to spend.
Fresno is receiving about $250 million from the federal government, $37 million from the Measure P parks tax, sales taxes are bouncing back, property taxes are fueled by a hot housing market, and there is a cannabis tax coming.
Also, the city of Fresno has received half of the allocated $177 million from the American Rescue Plan.
Esparza says the council wants the budget to look beyond just this one fiscal year.
"How can we spend this so it propels our economy forward," questioned Esparza. "How can we spend this so that it benefits - literally, my daughter is 3 and a half -- we're still seeing the benefits yielded years from now when she's going to college."
Councilman Arias said, "The mayor has done his part; he's proposed a budget. It's now time for the city council to step forward and put neighborhoods in the forefront of that budget and come up with a long-term plan to rebuild the city."
City Council would need to approve the budget by the end of June, but councilmembers tell Action News they hope to have it approved sooner than that.

Janmashtami is a
beautiful festival celebrated every year on the occasion of Lord
Krishna's birth day. There was a time when it used to be celebrated in a simple but yet grand
way by fasting and playing Raasleela but these days this festival has become the way of earning money where the Govindas risk their life for
the price money but these days the festivals are loosing its sheen.
We thought of asking few actors from the television industry that whether the celebration is a business making activity or not?
Let's see what they have to say...
Abhishek Rawat who is seen in Life OK's show Baawre says, "I think all religious activity has become a money making business in
our country but it is justified when a person is doing it for his or her
livelihood. In this highly populated country we all are not employed so to earn
money some people have to take such risky steps so if you think from their point
of view it is justified."
Mrunal Thakur who is seen in Zee TV's show Kumkum Bhagya says, "I remember during my childhood days we used to celebrate it in a different way and not the way we celebrate it these days. In Jalgaon we have a huge temple of Radha Krishna and every year we used to celebrate there by fasting and reciting kirtans. I think it is very risky for Govindas to climb up so high just to break Handis."
Disha Wakani who is seen in SAB TV's show Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah says, "I don't know whether it's a money making business or not but yes I would want these Govindas to take care of their health and play a safe Dahi Handi."
Shashank Vyas who is seen Colors' show in Balika Vadhu says, "Participating for the sake of fun is acceptable but risking your life for it is unacceptable. Each year I come across news of govindas getting injured during Janmashtami and that really saddens me. This year for the first time I have been to Iskcon temple and it was an amazing experience, the kind of atmosphere you get there cannot be expressed in words."
Karan Mehra who is seen in Star Plus' show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai says, "I think anything related to religion is becoming commercial these days, people have created a mentality where they think that God only listens to you when you spend money, humare yaha sab jor shor se hota hai fir chahe wo Ganpati ho ya Janmashtami. I feel it is very unethical to celebrate your festival by disturbing others and making it noisy. I think Janmashtami has become action packed thing every year Govindas are injured some become handicapped for there entire life."
TellyBuzz wishes you all a very happy and safe Janmashtami!

Tennessee's Barrasso tells CNBC he's worried about the repercussions of lifting sanctions in exchange for a nuclear deal.
CNBC's John Harwood shares his thoughts on the leading Republican candidates for the 2016 presidential election.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and presidential candidate sat down in Houston to talk with CNBC's John Harwood. Here's what he had to say.
Ted Cruz isn't worried about the caricature that media has invented for him because he's confident that the American people will make their own judgment.
With two candidates already throwing their hat in the ring for the 2016 U.S. elections, Boris Epshteyn, Republican Strategist at Strategy International, says neither Ted Cruz or Rand Paul have enough appeal to entice voters next year.

Bauchi state Commissioner of Police, Habu Ahmadu Sani has advised the Federal Government to empower all security agencies including the Military, Police, Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) by providing them with necessary wherewithal in order to enable them combat terrorism and other criminal activities in the country.
The Commissioner gave this advice during a community dialogue for traditional and religious leaders in Bauchi on preventing and countering violent extremism organised by Bauchi State Network of Civil Society Organisations (BASNEC).

The House begins its summer recess next week, with the Senate set to be in session one more week before lawmakers return home. Both chambers are scheduled to return to Washington the second week of September.
Budget Deal Vote
Next week, the Senate will vote on the budget deal and to confirm the President’s nominees for Deputy Secretary of Defense and Ambassador to the United Nations, as well as a package of district court nominees.
With a two-year budget deal expected to soon be in place, Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-AL) said this week that he will set spending levels for the 12 FY20 appropriations bills during the August recess so that subcommittees can start marking up legislation when lawmakers return to Washington.

Gnarls Barkley, the musical spawn of two of today’s most fascinating hip-hop hipsters, brought in the noise and the funk to a semi full Riviera theater Monday night. The group, founded by Atlanta rapper/singer Cee-Lo (once frequent Goodie Mob collaborator) and DJ Danger Mouse, whose Beatles/Jay-Z mash up “Grey Album” took the internet by storm a couple years back, flooded the airwaves this summer with the ever-so-catchy mega hit, “Crazy.” While their concise live act was entertaining and enjoyable, it lacked the intriguing power of their studio album, “St. Elsewhere,” mainly due to poor sound mixing and a rushed set.
It’s hard to classify Gnarls Barkley into any one sub-genre of modern pop music. It’s not quite straight hip-hop, not quite straight rock. It toys with the sounds of indie and 60s psychedelic rock while also blending in modern soul, R&B, Motown and funk melodies and rhythms. Bottom line is during a time where rap and hip-hop groups can often be a dime a dozen, Gnarls Barkley proves that its cool for art to imitate art by treading the waters of a number of different musical soundscapes.
The show was a mix of tracks from “St. Elsewhere” combined with a handful of obscure covers of bands as random as The Doors to indie alt-crooners, The Violent Femmes. Highlights from the set included the obvious opus, “Crazy,” which featured an interesting but short intro by the groups string section, The G-Strings, and the gospel anthem, “Just a Thought.”
Then there was the stage presence, an aspect of Gnarls Barkley that received just as much attention this summer as their chart rising single. Dressed in pajama suits and slippers the 13-piece ensemble took the blue-lit stage to a roaring crowd. Cee-Lo, who must enjoy hearing himself speak, was very animate throughout the night, dancing, shouting, enticing the audience and at one point falling over on stage–an accident that was no doubt a result of extreme energy and joy.
Danger Mouse, who is without a doubt the mastermind behind the music side of Gnarls Barkley, was somberly perched over a slew of antique keyboards and soundboards through most of the set, looking up every once and a while to enjoy a sip of bottled beer.
Gnarls Barkley is definitely one of those modern acts to keep an eye on. Cee-Lo, like fellow singer Sleepy Brown has for so long been just a hook vocalist for bigger acts like Outkast or Goodie Mob, however, through Barkley he is able to truly shine and is one hell of a talented singer. With a slightly revamped stage set up, mastered sound mixing and a longer and possibly more accessible set, Gnarls Barkley could very well move away from simply being a studio group and join the ranks of groups like The Roots who continue to toy with the different sounds and musical influences.

Here’s what happened…
Many top political experts and Republicans now believe that former President Donald Trump is closer than ever before to announcing his third official run for the presidency in 2024.
According to Fox, While most candidates don’t announce a run for the presidency until one year before the election, several Republican strategists are now suggesting that Trump is prepared to announce his 2024 run.
Republican strategist Scott Jennings explained, There’s some evidence that some Republican voters are trying to slow-walk from Donald Trump. If you’re in his shoes, you have to try to put that fire out. Because the more it burns.”
Trump could easily erase the bad publicity of the recent Jan. 6 hearings by announcing his run for presidency.
Some anti-Trump republicans such as Governor Larry Hogan believe Trump will lose badly if he runs again in 2024. Hogan stated, “His approval among Republican primary voters has already been somewhat diminished. Trump was the least popular president in American history until Joe Biden.”
With the way Biden has been running things, many believe that it does not matter what Republican is nominated for the upcoming presidential election. The Democrats have done too much damage already and the GOP is destined for a major win.

AMES, Iowa — Practical Farmers of Iowa is seeking to enroll row crop farmers in Iowa, Minnesota or Wisconsin in a small grains cost-share program that runs for up to two years. The program is intended to support conventional farmers or those transitioning to organic who add a year of crops like barley, oats, rye, triticale or wheat followed by a summer cover crop or planted with a legume cover crop like red clover.
Participants are eligible to receive $40 per acre in cost-share on up to 80 acres for conventionally raised small grains or acres that are in transition to organic but not yet certified. Organic small grains are not eligible for the cost-share, nor are acres receiving cost-share for extended rotation practices through the Conservation Stewardship Program or Environmental Quality Incentives Program (Practice 328 or 340).
In 2018, Practical Farmers will cost-share a total of 1,325 acres. Participants will be accepted on a rolling basis until that cap is reached. Any small grains harvested for grain in summer 2018 – including winter small grains crops such as winter wheat or cereal rye, and spring-planted small grains like oats or barley – are eligible for the program.
For more information about the cost-share program, or to submit a request to enroll your acres, visit: practicalfarmers.org/small-grains-cornbelt.
Cost-share recipients are required to plant a small grains crop and harvest it for grain, and they also commit to planting a summer cover crop. When that summer crop is planted, however, is flexible. Participants may elect to seed a legume like clover or alfalfa at the same time the small-grain crop is planted, or they may opt to plant a diverse cover crop mix after the small-grain harvest.
Participants also agree to fill out two surveys – the first in August, after small-grain harvest, where farmers will enter their small grains production details and cost data; and the second survey in the next calendar year, where they will share their production and cost data for the crop that followed the small-grain in the rotation.
With this data, Practical Farmers of Iowa will assess the environmental effects of the extended rotation system and create partial budgets for various small grains crops based on their destination market. The ultimate goal is to supply farmers with financial data that will help with decision-making, and provide companies that buy small grains with an estimate of the environmental benefits created by including small grains in a corn-soybean rotation.
Cost-share participants are also encouraged to join in a monthly shared learning phone call, hosted by PFI, where fellow farmers or industry representatives discuss some aspect of small grains production or marketing. Half of the call time is reserved for farmers to ask questions and discuss challenges and successes with each other.
Additional education on growing small grains will be available at small grains-focused conferences, organized by Practical Farmers, planned for 2018 and 2019. In August 2017, a small grains conference was held in Ames, Iowa. Future conferences will be held in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Results of PFI’s analysis of farmer data and announcements about upcoming small grains events will be available at practicalfarmers.org.
Practical Farmers’ small grains cost-share program, shared learning calls and small-grains conferences are made possible by funding from national and state Natural Resources Conservation Service Conservation Innovation Grants.

In turn it's his usual sarcastic social commentary to make a point, which I like. Leave a comment about what you think the poster is all about.
The poster is 18 x 24 inch screen print on cream speckle tone paper. Signed and numbered edition of 450.
Available March 24, 2015 at a random time between 10am and 11am PST in PRINTS.

If you’ve been keeping up with Real Houswives of Atlanta, you would know that Gregg Leakes is currently battling Stage 3 Colon Cancer, and it’s been a tough journey for him and his family.
From what has been displayed on the show, NeNe has been very supportive of her husband, and by his side throughout all of the doctor visits.
The tables must’ve turned, as the RHOA star took to social media last night blasting her husband for being ‘mean, grouchy, and evil.’
It all started when Gregg posted a sentimental message about brotherhood and how strong his friends have been for him, and that’s when NeNe commented, telling her husband to practice what he preaches.
She then took to Twitter with this message…take a look below:

text: The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They let me know that I could call to see how Ruby was doing and if she would be ready to walk on her own or not as she is a large dog and I was concerned about getting her in and out of the car. I take was a breeze. I expected a long line up to drop Ruby off and pick her up but the whole process was very quick and efficient. I have had several animals spayed or neutered at the spay clinic and would never hesitate to have any future pets spayed or neutered at the Spay Clinic :) Thank you for your professionalism and care of the animals who come to you :) Also, thank you for providing a less expensive option for animals to get spayed/ neutered as it is very important to help reduce pet populations and a less expensive option for people should help to convince people to get their animals fixed.

1,4-addition of enolates to enones (“The Michael Reaction”)
Enolates of carbonyl compounds will add to an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to give 1,5-dicarbonyl compounds. This is called the Michael reaction.
Enolates are excellent nucleophiles; although a second resonance form is present with the negative charge on oxygen, the resonance form with the negative charge on carbon tends to be more important for determining reactivity.
Notes: Note that in each case a carbon-carbon bond is being formed
Removal of a proton from the ketone with strong base (Step 1, arrows A and B) results in an enolate, which then performs a 1,4-addition on the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound (Step 2, arrows C and D), which is then protonated (Step 3, arrows E and F).
Sodium here isn’t specifically important, it just balances out the negative charge.

Profiles are back in Tesla's latest "Full Self-Driving" beta 10.3 with an "Assertive Mode" that may perform rolling stops and other borderline maneuvers, The Verge has reported. The update was originally released in October 2021 with three profiles ("Chill," "Average" and "Assertive"), but was pulled just two days later over issues with traffic light left turns, unexpected stopping and more.
The latest update issued yesterday shows that the Full Self-Driving (Beta) profiles are back. If you choose "Assertive," the notes state that "in this profile, your Model X will have a smaller follow distance, perform more frequent speed lane changes, will not exit passing lanes and may perform rolling stops." As @Digitalhen notes, the system may also perform rolling stops even in "Average" mode.
I guess "Road Rage Mode" didn't fit on the screen pic.twitter.com/6pJNFvrJXA— David Zipper (@DavidZipper) January 9, 2022
Generally, a rolling stop means a vehicle doesn't come to a complete halt at a stop sign (which is illegal and dangerous) but it's not yet clear if that's what FSD will do. It's also illegal in many states to stay in the left or passing lane if you're not passing anyone, and of course, it's never a great idea to follow the vehicle ahead too closely. All of that said, the mode hasn't been tested enough yet to demonstrate exactly how it's doing those things.
On the weekend, CEO Elon Musk announced that Tesla would be raising the price of FSD from $10,000 to $12,000, even though it's still in beta. As we've pointed out before, the name "Full Self-Driving" is misleading (much like Autopilot), as FSD does not offer true Level 4 self-driving, but simply Level 2 advanced driver assistance.
