During the 1976 American Bicentennial, the North Shore Jewish Historical Society was conceived as a non-profit volunteer organization with the following purposes:
In 2012 we realigned our mission and changed our name to the Jewish Heritage Center of the North Shore. We will continue to archive Jewish history along the North Shore. Our new name and activities reflect our commitment to connect the North Shore with the full spectrum of Jewish identity.
*This organization is made possible by a generous allocation from the Jewish Federation of the North Shore.

In the Spring of 2009 I was assisting a California woman who was researching her extended family from Turkey. They had immigrated to Peabody, Massachusetts around the turn of the 20th century. Hardly anyone now is aware that there is a Jewish Sephardic Community in Peabody although they know there is a Congregation Tifereth Israel. There are four synagogues in Peabody today and to people in the area Congregation Tifereth Israel is just one of them. In fact, this one is Sephardic and was established there in 1922. Why in Peabody? Well, it was once the leather capital of the world, employing thousands of immigrants including those from Turkey and Greece.
A speech delivered at the Temple Emmanuel Chelsea Jewish History Exhibit by Norman H. Finkelstein on April 19, 2009
Let’s face it. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who grew up in Chelsea and those deprived souls who did not. We really believe that the Chelsea experiences and connections that bond us are so special they could not be duplicated anywhere else. And you know what? We are right. Chelsea is not just a defined geographic space, but a state of mind. Yet if we step back a minute to examine the history of Jews in America, our Chelsea story is but a microcosm of the larger American Jewish experience, but with our own distinctive differences.
The following article is from a monograph written for the Jewish Historical Society of the North Shore in 1982 by Stephen G. Mostov, Ph.D.
The Jewish community of Lynn in 1885 was remarkable only for its lack of development. There had been Jews in America for over two hundred years, and by 1880 the national Jewish population exceeded 230,000. Yet no more than twenty-five families had ever found their way to Lynn. Lynn’s “first” permanent Jewish resident — a Russian immigrant named Simon J. Weinberg — settled in 1855, and opened a dry goods store. Weinberg was later joined by a nephew and brother-in-law. A few other Jews filtered into Lynn during the 1870s and early 1880s, so that by 1885 the total Jewish population was about fifty.
Few Jews settled in Lynn or other New England towns prior to 1885 for the same reasons that most other European immigrants also stayed away. Either Jews settled in Boston to be part of its large, insular Jewish community — where they felt comfortable socially and religiously, and could find work through friends and relatives — or they headed westward in search of greater economic opportunities. In the first systematic survey of the nation’s Jewish population, taken in 1876, it was estimated that there were 7,000 Jews living in Boston, but only 1,500 in the rest of Massachusetts. This contrasted with larger Jewish populations in states such as Ohio, Illinois, and even California, all of which were considerably farther away from the immigrants’ ports of entry.


WEST SENECA, NY (WKBW) - 29-year-old Lori Maciejewski was escorted in handcuffs into West Seneca Town Court Tuesday night for a Felony hearing in the hit and run crash that killed 18-year-old college freshman Ryan Purcell.
Maciejewski is accused of hitting Purcell early Saturday morning as we walked along Seneca Street.
Friends and family of the the victim and Maciejewski looked-on as the 29-year-old waived her right to a felony hearing, sending the case to an Erie County Grand Jury.
Family friends of Maciejewski say she was a kind and sweet woman who loved kids, and they say that this tragedy that took a young life is devastating for all sides involved.
Rick Larkin, who was with Ryan's younger brother when they got news of his death, says he's glad that police have made an arrest.
"When we were at the hospital, no one knew what happened. They just found him dead. Then they came back to us and said that it was a hit-and-run and that no one knew who it was. It was good that they found her [Maciejewski]."
Ryan's mother Lisa Purcell is hoping that something can be done to make the area near the incident safer for pedestrians.
"It's a very unsafe place for people to walk east and west. Everyday I drive down there and there are times when you almost hit someone, the sides of the roads are so narrow."
Calling hours for Ryan Purcell are being held at Lombardo Funeral Home at 3060 Abbott Road in Orchard Park from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday.
His funeral services is set for 10 a.m. Friday morning at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church.


The fight is on between the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro but which of the two is the winner?
The best design is found on the Ford Mustang due to the fact that it received a new look. While the Chevrolet Camaro also got a new look the update looked a lot like the one before.
The Ford Mustang is the winner for power as you can get the entry level version in the 2.3 litre turbocharged with 310 horses. The Chevrolet Camaro has 275 horse power and 295 of torque.
You can get the Chevrolet Camaro with two more engine choices and these include the V8 3.6 litre with 255 horse power, the V8 6.2 litre offering 455 horse power. the Ford Mustang comes with choices of the V6 3.7 litre or the V8 5 litre which gives 435 horses.
The lightest vehicle is the Chevrolet Camaro and this had eight speed transmission. Therefore it comes out ahead of the Ford Mustang.
But the big question is whether you would have the Chevrolet Camaro or whether you would have the Ford Mustang?

Capital Without Boarders
"Capital Without Borders" is a dull research report masquerading as an interesting book. Author Brook Harrington somehow managed to uncover the secret lives of the super-rich and make it absolutely boring.
Ms. Harrington infiltrates the secret world to Trust and Estate Planning specialists. This shady world of money managers is the grease in the wheels of the super-rich. Money managers have vast social networks to play matchmaker for business dealings. They also control the purse strings for wealthy families. To protect their clients they need to know the most intimate details. As Ms. Harrington notes the joke in the industry is that the average client is 55 with a wife, a kid and a mistress.
While the book contains a lot of great information about how money managers conduct legal tax evasion, it’s a snooze. If the author chooses a less formal tone for the book it could have been a smash hit. Chapters on how money managers write laws for small countries such as Jersey and the Cook Islands should have been fascinating. Instead, reading about the corporatization of small nations is like walking through a pool: crystal clear and exhausting.
I think “Capital Without Borders” contains amazing details about how the rich stay rich, I can’t recommend anyone read it. The author was a guest on NPR’s Hidden Brain podcast. (Link posted in the notes) Listen to the podcast instead of reading the book.
Understanding how our modern financial system works is critical to our individual survival. Most of us need to know how credit card interest compounds daily, or how our 401k grows over time. The super-rich have different money problems such as how to leave the most money to their kids. Laws are written by the people in power, for the people in power. Ms. Harrington makes it clear who is influencing these laws and why. Listen to her segment on the podcast and skip the book.

It is vital to make sure that your garage always has the best possible door on it. To do that, you are going to need to make sure that you are taking the time to earn how to spot a garage door that is in trouble. A troubled garage door will only get worse over time, and it could happen quickly. Therefore, you will want to make sure that you are taking immediate action. Here are some of the signs of trouble that you should be keeping an eye out for:
There Is Light Coming In Along The Bottom Of The Door
Go inside of your garage and close the door. Make sure that you are doing this on a sunny day and that you keep the light inside of the garage off. Now, take a look a long the bottom of the closed garage door. Do you see any light shining into the garage? Even if it is just along the one side, that is still too much and you need to have a garage door specialist take a look at it. When light is able to shine through, water will be able to get in as well. Also, the gap between the bottom of the door and the floor can cause your garage to no longer remain as cool or warm as you want it to be.
The Panels Are Cracking
If there are a few panels on your garage door that are starting to crack, or that have already completely broken, you will want to talk to someone about replacing the door. This is because the door is now no longer very energy efficient. Also, a door that is cracked, in any spot, is a door that will be a lot easier for criminals to break through. This means that your personal safety and the things that you have worked so hard to get are in danger.
The Door Is No Longer Energy Efficient
Even if you cannot see anything that alarms you, if you can feel a lot of heat or coldness coming off of the garage door, while standing on the inside of the garage, you will want to get a new one. Not only will that garage door make your entire garage have an uncomfortable temperature, but it could cause your heating and cooling bill to go through the roof.
When looking for a replacement for your garage door, you will want to make sure that you are hiring the most reputable company or contractor in your area.Share

Canadian singer Avril Lavigne had an awkward moment when a topless protester crashed the stage while she speaking at the Juno Awards. However, Lavigne tackled the topless woman flashing her boobs in her own style. "Get the f**k off, b***h," Lavigne told the topless protester, who was later escorted by a guard.
Simu Liu, who was hosting the Juno Awards, too joined in Lavigne and ended the two-hour broadcast from Edmonton's Rogers Place with these immortal lines: "Sorry for the boobs." However, the video of the topless woman protester flaunting her boobs has since gone viral and fans of Lavine are applauding her for handling the situation tactfully.
The incident happened at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, on Monday night, when the 38-year-old hitmaker was introducing Canadian-Punjabi artist AP Dhillon when the topless environmentalist avoided security and managed to get on stage.
"I'm introducing an artist who's blown up on the global music scene with the new wave of R&B, hip hop and pop records, fused..." she said, as the woman wearing pink sweatpants and a matching headscarf unexpectedly entered the stage. She also had some scribbled slogans on her back and arms.
The TV broadcast did not show a close-up of the interloper but those in attendance said the woman had inscriptions like "save the green belt," "stop logging old growth now," and "land back" inscribed on her arms and back, while her boobs were covered with heart-shaped pasties. The Canadian native initially disregarded the woman and carried on speaking.
However, when the protester circled Lavigne with her arms outstretched in the devil salute while staring out at the audience, Lavigne turned around and stared directly at her. She had been speaking about the Victoria, British Columbia-based Dhillon according to the script. "Get the fuck off. Get the f**k off b***h," she said and by then security had arrived on stage to escort the protester away.
Keeping Her Cool
The Juno Awards, given by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, are known as Canada's answer to the Grammy Awards and honor the best musicians in the nation. Later, when she received the night's last award, Lavigne made reference to the incident.
She began her speech with a joking caution as she accepted the fan choice award for the fourth time in her career. "Now, nobody try anything this time, or the Canadian is going to come out of me, and I'll f--- up a b----," Lavigne joked.
c The actor from "Shang-Chi and the Tale of the Ten Rings" remarked, "Give her an award for managing the topless lady like a champion.
Canadian outlet CBC reported that the protester, later identified as 37-year-old Vancouver resident Casey Hatherly, was charged with mischief Tuesday.
Hatherly was reportedly opposed to government plans to build on some of Southern Ontario's Greenbelt, a protected area.
In a statement to Entertainment Tonight Canada, a representative of the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences addressed the situation.
"The Juno Awards is a celebration of Canadian music and the artists who make it. We take every step to avoid interruptions to our program, but there are always risks with live events and broadcasts. We hope tonight's brief disruption doesn't take away from the accomplishments of this year's performers, winners and nominees."
The Weeknd was the major winner at the Junos despite not being there. The musician won the album of the year prize for his 2022 release "Dawn FM," which was met with boos from the audience, according to CBC.
In addition, he shared second place in the history of the Junos Opening Night Awards with Bryan Adams after taking home four prizes.

By the mid-1800s, American middle class women frequently turned to Godey’s Lady’s Book for household advice, sewing patterns, and recipes. Although founded by Louis Godey, from 1837 to 1877, it was led by Editor Sarah Josepha Hale and under her leadership, circulation rose dramatically. In Civil War Recipes, Lily May and John Spaulding have done a very nice job of selecting recipes from the first part of the 1860s run of the magazine and presenting them along with enough culinary history to make for an interesting read.
The Founding Foodies, by Dave DeWitt, is an easy-going chat on matters historic and gastronomic in the Old Dominion and beyond. DeWitt dismisses some food writers’ contentions that colonial food was poor stuff. Having attended Mr. Jefferson’s university and being thus familiar with the third president’s many accomplishments, he knew that this common opinion was surely an overgeneralization. Jefferson, as well as Washington and Franklin, were trend-setters—learned men who easily absorbed and promulgated cultured styles of fashion, philosophy, architecture, and, yes, food, derived European trends, especially their French allies.
Besides these Founding Fathers’ culinary preferences, DeWitt also looks at curious historical periods of Virginia history where food, or lack of same, played a noteworthy role. At Jamestown, the horrors of spoiled ships’ rations and the colonists’ inexperience with hunting and fishing made them very dependent on the native tribes’ shared knowledge. They did learn to hunt and fish which was well since the supply ship was delayed, nearly resulting in John Smith being hanged. Desperate to turn a profit in the days before tobacco, the settlers took up fishing on a grand scale—thousands of pounds of salted cod to England and dried fish to Spain.

The Damon System | Dental Treatment Guide
As more technology is developed and made available, orthodontists are able to offer patients more discrete, effective and comfy methods of straightening out their teeth. One of the more innovative products used are self-ligating braces. One of the most popular self-ligating treatments is the Damon Braces System and it is used all over the world. Damon braces are friction-free, which enables them to provide comfortable tooth adjustment and straightening – an aspect that is a great advantage compared to other orthodontics.
As the Damon system trend is picking up quickly in the UK, it is important that orthodontic patients are clear about exactly what the treatment method entails.
History of the Damon System
In 1996, the initial version of the Damon Braces System was introduced. It was further developed into a secondary form in 2000. This version's introduction was complemented by the production of a number of guidelines that were written in regards to the Damon System. These guidelines were set out to increase the benefits of the Damon System as it increased the dentist's knowledge of the treatment. As more dentists because familiar with this innovative system, it was able to develop further and increase in success dramatically.
Later, in 2004 and 2005, the demand for durable, strong ceramic braces were satisfied by the production of the Damon 3 hybrid as well as the Damon MX brackets. These were able to offer a level of tooth straightening that was only previously available with conventional metal "train track" braces. To ensure that this level of development continued so patients would only be offered the best products available, the Damon Forum was created.
The Damon Forum consists of a number of dental professionals who used the Damon System as part of their practice. The Damon Forum involves regular meetings, which tend to attract over a thousand dental specialists from around the world who want to learn more, share their knowledge and further develop the treatment. The cumulative success of the Damon System has been proven by a number of research trials and the results can be seen on the specialised Damon System website.
The technology behind the Damon System
The Damon Bracket, like many other new commodities on the market, claims to be a fantastic and effective product. However, like with many treatment systems, the Damon bracket will only reap the significant benefits to support the claims if the orthodontist is experienced and knowledgeable in the application process. The bracket is not guaranteed to provide a miracle cure to all who obtain it; although it does appear to have revolutionary features that make the product stand out amongst other orthodontic merchandise.
Among the standout qualities of the Damon bracket is the level of discreteness. The bracket can be fitted to be barely visible, which shows a significant difference in appearance to conventional braces. Not only this but the Damon braces are less vulnerable to staining from factors such as food and drink. In addition to these advantageous features is the comfort aspect. This is achieved by the edges of the brace being rather shapely and well fitting.
The Damon braces can apparently achieve the straightening results of a traditional brace in a much shorter space of time. This is possible, as the Damon system is not held in place by wires. This allows the wires to be present in the brace to be more concentrated on applying sufficient pressure to the teeth to achieve the desired results. This further leads us on to looking at the Damon System theory.
The theory that the Damon System is based on
Traditional dental braces require ties made out of either steel or rubber. These attach the wire onto the brace to hold it in position in the mouth. These wires generate a level of unwanted friction that opposes the action of the braces attached. This suppresses the action of the braces so the teeth take a longer time to move into the desired position.
The Damon System has been developed to avoid this friction issue and therefore to speed up the tooth moving process. This is done by the implication of a sliding design that significantly limits the amount of friction present. As the friction is minimalized, the Damon braces are able to translocate the teeth in a more quick, effective manner.
The Damon System treatment notion
Rather than continuously marketing brand new products to try and transform the way orthodontics is seen and used, the Damon System is a developmental process that is constantly being improved. The persistent enhancement of the Damon System allows not only development of a product but also of the entire orthodontic profession.
The success of the Damon System is totally dependent on the orthodontist implicating it. A good orthodontist is a fundamental factor in the triumph of the Damon System as it requires commitment and perseverance. By only applying Damon braces and continuing with conventional methods on the side, the benefits observed would be extremely limited.
The Damon braces system applies a rather gentle pressure that is capable of moving teeth not only comfortably by also rapidly. The forces applied by the Damon brace wires are only about a quarter of that applied by those that compose traditional braces. The result of this is that the patient does not have to have as many orthodontic appointments as the braces do not require as much adjustment. Also, it may be noticed that the amount of tooth movement observed between dental visits is more than that seen with conventional braces.
Advantages of the Damon System
The Damon braces system holds many advantages over traditional orthodontic treatments. These beneficial aspects include:
- Speedier treatment: As the Damon braces have the specialised friction-free component as well as the self-ligating wires; they are capable of moving the teeth and making the entire process much faster. When comparing with traditional fixed braces, it can be seen that the Damon braces provide the desired results up to six months quicker.
- Comfort: As the Damon braces are self-ligating they do not require rubber or steel ties, which are often the cause of orthodontic discomfort and irritation. Not only this, but it means that the braces do not need to be adjusted and tightened as often as traditional braces, which can be a very uncomfortable process.
- Oral Hygiene: Traditional braces can be associated with plaque build up due to the ties that hold them in place. This can inhibit cleaning and oral hygiene is subsequently affected. The Damon System avoids this due to the lack of ties and is therefore related to better hygiene during the treatment process.
- Visibility: The Damon braces have a discrete design that makes them significantly less visible than conventional braces. However, you should note that they are not entirely invisible. The lower visibility can be traced to the 60% ceramic composition of the Damon brace. This is clear and limits the amount of metal in the mouth.
Disadvantages of the Damon System
It is very hard to find any procedure that is completely free of disadvantages. With the Damon System, this is no different however many of the disadvantages are down to individual preference as opposed to risks with the actual braces. A key disadvantage is not so much down to the treatment but down to an inaccurate belief. The Damon System is often referred to as 'extraction-free', which can be seen as a huge advantage. However, this is not always the case. The braces are part of an entire orthodontic treatment system and part of this treatment may require tooth removal depending on the problem. Another potential disadvantage is also dependent on what the patient's problem is. Some issues require the wearing of headgear, which can be an unattractive prospect but unfortunately, necessary.
How much does it cost?
Having your teeth adjusted using the Damon braces system is notably pricier than other, more traditional orthodontic methods with prices generally starting at approximately £2450. Despite this cost, the benefits may be worth the extra money. Your teeth can be straightening quicker in a more comfortable, pain-free manner whilst you are able to maintain good oral hygiene.
The expense of Damon braces will vary from person to person. You should be able to obtain an accurate cost estimate that has been tailored to your individual requirements.

Flavour collaborates with producer, Pc Lapez to give us this worship tune titled ‘Kanayo’. With the current COVID-19 outbreak, 2nite Music Boss, Flavour and producer Pc Lapez call out to God for a solution on the epidemic.
This piece of music is what many listeners would likely put on repeat, especially the older generation. Flavour made a simple religious worship song probably with the aim to comfort those who are scared in this present epidemic outbreak. The simple low tempo music begins with soft traditional percussions, soft guitars melodies, and vocals from Flavour. Kanayo is an Igbo word which when translated means ‘High Adoration’. If I didn’t know better, I’d say that Chioma Jesus has replicated herself in a man because it sounds very much like what she can do.
Flavour comes through with the official music video for this oeuvre. This music video was shot and directed by, Angrybird Productions. The simplistic video was shot basically inside the studio and this video exposes flashing revelations of the bereaved state of the African nations. Flavour does very well in aligning his countenance with the theme of the song alongside his feature, PC Lapez.
Flavour sincerely cries out to God in this gospel piece, seeking for his mercy and intervention. The release comes at a time when Nigeria and the entire global community is taking time to reflect and ask God for grace, mercy and overall good health.

Whether living in the United States or overseas, rural residents face numerous health disparities compared with their urban counterparts.
Currently, more than 46 million Americans, or 15% of the U.S. population, live in rural areas as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. Rural Americans are more likely to die from heart disease, cancer, unintentional injury, chronic lower respiratory disease and stroke than urban residents, according to studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
The Association of American Medical Colleges also projects a shortage of between 46,900 and 121,900 physicians by 2032 in the United States, including in primary care.
In Georgia, the numbers are even more dire. Approximately 41% of the state’s population, or approximately 4.18 million people, live in rural areas. These residents in rural areas tend to be older and sicker than their urban counterparts. And Georgia’s physician workforce problem is one of the worst in the nation, ranking 41st in physician workforce per capita.
But rural areas across the globe present a number of challenges for both providers and families in managing and accessing health care.
Augusta University is proud to announce it is partnering with The University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University in Scotland, as well as the University of Georgia College of Pharmacy, to hold an inaugural international rural health symposium on Oct. 27.
This virtual multidisciplinary conference, called Converge International Rural Health Symposium, is the first collaboration in an initiative to offer exchange programs for faculty and students, as well as a certificate program with a focus on rural health, according to Dr. Neil J. MacKinnon, the provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at Augusta University.
“While COVID-19 prevents us from meeting in person, Converge is the next best thing as faculty and clinicians from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean look to learn from each other on the topic of rural health,” MacKinnon said. “I’m optimistic that Converge will result in new joint projects and initiatives and it will position AU well as we launch our new international engagement strategy.”
This conference, which was spearheaded by the Office of the Provost, focuses on spotlighting innovative and collaborative efforts to provide better care with limited resources through educational and training initiatives from health professions, colleges and universities, he said.
“Our first virtual symposium will be an interactive opportunity for health care professionals from all backgrounds to focus on the understanding of rural health challenges through the lens of education and workforce preparation,” MacKinnon said.
While health care in Scotland compared to Georgia can be very different on many levels, the two regions share in the persistent challenges of educating for rural health care contexts and of supporting health care professions once in the region.
In Scotland, about 20% of the country’s population, or 1.1 million people, live in a rural area. The country defines “accessible rural’ as those residents who have a drive time of less than 30 minutes to the nearest settlement of 10,000 or more and “remote rural” as those with greater than 30-minute drive time to a settlement with 10,000 or more.
The life expectancy of males and females living in “remote rural” areas of Scotland is 79 and 82 years old, respectively. In Georgia, the life expectancy of males and females is 75 and 80, respectively.
In 2018, the leading causes of death in Georgia were heart disease, cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases, accidents, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, kidney disease, septicemia and suicide.
In Scotland, the leading causes of death in 2018 were ischemic heart disease, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, lung cancer, cerebrovascular disease (including stroke) and chronic lower respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and emphysema.
During the virtual symposium, expert panelists will present innovative and creative solutions they’ve addressed in access to care, experiential learning and connectivity challenges. These presentations will foster discussions among breakout groups on ways these strategies might be replicated or enhanced.
Laura Chalmers, the head of the Centre for Collaborative and Interprofessional Practice at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, Scotland, will be a participant at the symposium. She is a person-centered practitioner with a background in critical care nursing. As an educator for many years following a career in intensive care nursing, Chalmers focuses on creating learning spaces for students and educators in clinical, classroom and online settings.
As the co-chair of the Converge Curriculum Committee, Chalmers is looking forward to the virtual symposium hosted by Augusta University later this month.
“I wish for warm, innovative and creative thinking,” Chalmers said. “Conversations that may lead to future collaborations and real-world solutions to educational challenges that enhance person and patient care.”
This year, participation in this inaugural event is by invitation only. But Augusta University looks forward to opening the symposium up to a broader audience at subsequent events.

Tom Frieden, a physician, is president and CEO of Resolve to Save Lives, an initiative of the global public health organization Vital Strategies, and former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2009-2017).
Their aim is to achieve “herd immunity,” the concept that if enough people are immune, those without immunity can be protected. Usually this refers to immunity gained from vaccination; the goal of herd immunity has typically not been applied to a disease for which there is no vaccine.
There is a saying that for every complicated problem, a solution exists that is quick, simple — and wrong. That applies here: Pursuing herd immunity is the wrong, dead wrong, solution for the pandemic. Discussing such a reckless approach shouldn’t be necessary, except that it echoes the misguided ideas of neuroradiologist Scott Atlas, who in recent months has become an influential medical adviser to President Trump.
Atlas, The Post reported, has relied on similar-minded scientists “to bolster his in-house arguments.”
Less than 15 percent of Americans have been infected by the virus that causes covid-19. If immunity among those who have been infected and survived is strong and long-lasting (and it may well be neither), and if herd immunity kicks in at 60 percent infection of the population (and it might be higher), with a fatality rate of 0.5 percent among those infected, then at least another half-million Americans — in addition to the 220,000 who have already died — would have to die for the country to achieve herd immunity. And that’s the best-case scenario. The number of deaths to get there could be twice as high.
The route to herd immunity would run through graveyards filled with Americans who did not have to die, because what starts in young adults doesn’t stay in young adults. “Protecting the vulnerable,” however appealing it may sound, isn’t plausible if the virus is allowed to freely spread among younger people. We’ve seen this in families, communities and entire regions of the country. First come cases in young adults. Then the virus spreads to older adults and medically vulnerable people. Hospitalizations increase. And then deaths increase.
The vulnerable are not just a sliver of society. The 65-and-over population of the United States in 2018 was 52 million. As many as 60 percent of adults have a medical condition that increases their risk of death from covid-19 — with many unaware of their condition, which can include undiagnosed kidney disease, diabetes or cancer. The plain truth is that we cannot protect the vulnerable without protecting all of us.
A one-two punch is needed to knock out the virus — a combination approach, just as multiple drugs are used to treat infections such as HIV and tuberculosis. That in turn will allow the accelerated resumption of economic and social activity.
First, knock down the spread of the virus. The best way to do this is — as the country has been trying to do, with uneven success — to reduce close contact with others, especially in crowded indoor spaces with poor ventilation. Increase adherence to the Three W’s: wear a mask, watch your distance and wash your hands (or use sanitizer). Where restrictions have been loosened, track early-warning triggers and activate strategic closures to prevent an explosive spread.
Second, box the virus in to stop cases from becoming clusters and clusters from becoming outbreaks. Rapid testing should focus on those at greatest risk of having been exposed. The sooner people who are infectious get isolated, the fewer secondary cases there will be. That means rapid testing and rapid action when tests are positive. Close contacts need to be quarantined so that if they develop infection, the chain of transmission will stop with them.
A safe and effective vaccine may become available in the coming months — or it may not. Yet even if it were widely administered (a big if), it wouldn’t end the pandemic. Even if a vaccine that’s 70 percent effective is taken by 70 percent of people — optimistic estimates — that leaves half of the population unprotected. For the foreseeable future, masks will be in, at least indoors, and handshakes will be out.
Although there’s no quick fix, this pandemic will end one day. In the interim, there are actions individuals, families and communities across the country can take to reduce risk. The sooner the virus is under control, the quicker and more complete the recovery will be.
Tom Frieden: Amateur epidemiology is deterring our covid-19 response. Here’s what we should do instead.
Leana S. Wen: We should be just as careful about covid-19 in relatives’ homes as we are in grocery stores
Megan McArdle: The coronavirus is all reality, no show. That’s why Trump’s diagnosis is so nerve-racking.
Coronavirus: What you need to know
End of the public health emergency: The Biden administration ended the public health emergency for the coronavirus pandemic on May 11, just days after WHO said it would no longer classify the coronavirus pandemic as a public health emergency. Here’s what the end of the covid public health emergency means for you.

(CBS) — Police in Grayslake say they are still investigating the series of events this week that started with a fire and ended with a suicide.
WBBM’s Steve Miller reports.
The house fire was early Tuesday. And inside, firefighters found a 17-year-old boy who’d been shot in the head.
He was taken to Loyola Medical Center.
And his 64-year-old grandmother — who was also his guardian — was questioned and fingerprinted.
A couple of hours after that, Grayslake Police say she jumped off the top of the hospital parking garage and killed herself.
Earlier, they say, she had told her granddaughter to swallow the entire contents of a bottle of medicine.
The girl only ingested part of it, and police say she then went to the ER.
Conditions of the teens was not immediately available.


After 17 years in municipal politics, Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer isn’t planning to run this time.
Instead, Bauer plans to step aside during the 2022 municipal election to take some personal time to travel with his wife.
“Seventeen years is a long service for the community, and I think it’s time to let someone else try,” said Bauer.
From his youth, Bauer had been interested in politics, and once his wife left her position as administrator for the village, he took the opportunity to throw his hat in the ring.
Looking back on his time in office, there were many projects and policies that he has been a part of, such as the work to make Keremeos the first official Age Friendly Community in the RDOS, improvements to the downtown through safety improvements and aesthetic projects such as the pocket park and the facade grant program and bringing fibre optic connectivity to the community to make it more appealing for businesses and workers, to name a few.
One of the largest projects that is currently underway is the upgrades to the sewer treatment plant, which has been 12 years in the works.
“That’s a big project for a small community like this,” said Bauer. “It takes a lot of planning, a lot of grant application, a lot of consulting with the First Nations and the province and a lot of endurance.”
The new plant upgrades are part of the village’s liquid waste management plan, and the current phase are aimed to keep up with demand for the next 30 years, depending on how quickly the community grows.
“It’s all teamwork. It only works if you have good support in council and good support in staff,” said Bauer. “The mayor can’t just sit and stare out the window, but without the support of council and staff and agencies like the Regional District, it’s basically impossible.”
Bauer was also very proud of the village’s notification system, which emails residents quarterly newsletters, as well as emergency updates and non-emergency updates to residents.
“More and more people signed up and realized how important it is to be informed by someone who gives you facts, instead of what you read on social media,” said Bauer.
It will be the cooperation and all of the fellow elected officials that Bauer has worked with over the years, and the many staff in multiple levels of government and community organizations, that he said he will miss for certain.
“I will miss the teamwork with our administrator mostly, and certainly the work with my colleagues throughout the Valley at the Regional District, the people I met whether in health care, education, you name it,” said Bauer. “Working with the very different people in all the organizations and being able to help is very gratifying.”
It’s those connections and strengthening them with the shared services for the community, planning for emergencies and regional tourism are all important.
“We just put in a new liner for the pool that will keep it going for the next 25 years. We — along with Area B and G — bought a new fire truck and all the protective gear they need, the Info Centre, the trail from here to Cawston; those are all the kinds of things that make our community, but you can’t stand alone for them,” said Bauer.
With two candidates declared so far, Bauer said that he hopes they can keep up the pressure on other long-running issues that are critical to the community, including transit and flood mitigation.
He noted the many meetings with the provincial government following the closure of the Greyhound service to bring transit to Keremeos, and the need for more support for Keremeos and the whole Okanagan Regional Library system.
The last major policy change he hopes to see is to finally get the provincial government to add flood mitigation to the Emergency Response Act in order to deal with orphan dikes and flooding before it happens.
No matter what happens, Bauer will be keeping an eye on the election, and he isn’t planning to just take it easy.
“I think it will really depend on how things go with travelling, that in a few years from now I’m fed up and I decide to throw my hat in for another council run, I don’t know,” said Bauer. “Once we’ve done our travel, I could still join the rec commission, I’m already a member of the Lower Similkameen Community Services Society. If I’m bored I might go and take a course at the college.
“I don’t see myself getting lost on a bench and counting stars.”

The Arctic melting season has begun!
23 June 2020
In the Arctic, the melting season is now well underway. The sea-ice extent is currently below two standard deviations from the long-term average and below the trend in 2019 (Figure 1). From early May to mid-June, the sea-ice concentration shrank by 2.68 million km². Throughout the month of May, it declined by an average of 59,600 km² per day; the monthly mean extent was 11.96 million km² (see Figure 2), making it the third-lowest value for this month since the beginning of satellite observation. Further, the monthly mean extent was 133,7501 km² below the long-term average for 1981 to 2010, but 155,671 km² above the record low in May 2016 (see Figure 3). The sea-ice retreat predominantly took place in the Barents and Kara Seas, and in Denmark Strait (Figure 4). Numerous polynyas formed along the Russian coast, a pattern that has manifested regularly in the past several years, and a somewhat unusually large area of open water formed in the sea ice to the north of Svalbard. In addition, the North Water Polynya, which forms every year in the northern part of Baffin Bay and southern Smith Sound between 76° and 79° North and between 70° and 80° West, appeared.
The linear loss of sea-ice extent, including 2020, is 3.3 % per decade for the month of May in comparison to the long-term average. That equates to an annual loss of ca. 43,900 km² or an area roughly the size of North Rhine-Westphalia. In the 42 years of satellite observation, the Arctic has lost a total of 1.34 million km² of ice in the month of May, based on the difference between the linear trends from 2020 and 1979: an area four times the size of Norway.
The air temperature at 925 hPa was unusually high over nearly all of the Arctic Ocean, with variations of up to 7 °C over the central Arctic Ocean and western Russia (Figure 5). In some parts of Siberia, the temperatures were 10 °C above the long-term average. In contrast, in Canada’s High North, the temperatures were 3 – 5 °C below average. Pressure at sea level was particularly low over Scandinavia and the Central Arctic, while pressure over the Canadian Arctic Archipelago was quite high compared to the long-term average. However, there were no signs of the unusually warm May at the German-French research station AWIPEV on Spitsbergen (Figure 6).
From mid-December to early spring the Arctic Oscillation, a central pattern of atmospheric variability over the Arctic and the North Atlantic, exhibited a prolonged positive (cyclonal) phase. Such an extended period of stability, which continued until early May, is highly unusual and could be connected to an extremely cold stratospheric polar vortex and the largest hole in the ozone of the Arctic stratosphere ever observed. There are certain interdependencies in the atmosphere: events in the stratosphere influence what happens below it (in the troposphere), and vice versa.
Accordingly, the cyclonal (counter-clockwise) circulation at the surface, which was due to the positive AO, was connected to the cyclonal circulation of the cold and intense stratospheric vortex. These extremely stable and cold atmospheric conditions are conducive to the formation of polar stratospheric clouds, which in turn promote ozone loss through chemical processes.
Sea ice in the Antarctic at an average level
In the Antarctic, the trend reversal seen in the past few months continues. After unusually low sea-ice extents in May 2017, 2018 and 2019, this year a more average ice concentration in comparison to the long-term average has established itself (Figure 7). Compared to May 2019, more sea ice can especially be found in the Weddell, Bellingshausen and D’Urville Seas (Figure 8); the extent has only declined in the Amundsen, Ross Meer and Lazarev Seas. This trend continued in the first half of June, with the sea-ice extent mirroring the long-term average (Figure 9).

Minneapolis burns. A man in Nashville called Johnny Cash’s granddaughter a liberal pussy for wearing a mask during a pandemic. Infected Republican legislators knowingly exposed Democratic legislators to COVID-19. The president takes to Twitter to complain about Twitter, when he’s not tweeting racism and incitements to violence. Tens of millions are out of work. People are paying their rents on credit cards, and are likely to be unable to do that much longer. Police murder Black Americans with impunity while right wing reactionaries are treated with kid gloves as they enter state houses with long rifles strapped to their thick backs. Even otherwise decent people scoff at wearing masks or social distancing, saying that they’re unlikely to die from the virus.
Our hearts are broken.
This doesn’t mean we are sad, although many of us – a great many of us, more than you might think based on the incessant negativity online and in the news – are. What it means is that the part of us that can feel and give love is broken. It doesn’t work. It’s clogged up, and we are trapped inside an illusion of separation, inside a self-centered place where we think we are protecting ourselves, but where we are actually killing ourselves.Continue reading “We Must Fix Our Hearts or Die”

Good governance for SMEs why bother?
Of the millions of registered companies in the UK more than 99% are not listed or quoted on tradable equity markets. These companies, which are mostly SMEs or start-ups, make a huge contribution to the economy and are vital to a competitive post Brexit Britain.
Unlike the household names of the FTSE100, SMEs are not obliged to take mind of any formal corporate governance arrangements, beyond the regulatory requirements of the Companies Act 2006. That said, companies of all forms stand to benefit from implementing corporate governance practises.
Corporate Governance has rarely been out of the news recently, from the scandals seen at Sports Direct and BHS, to the changes in the framework put forth by the Government and regulators. While the majority of stories on the subject focus on failure, this misses the point of corporate governance – putting frameworks in place to help organisations achieve long term success and value creation. This applies to organisations of all shapes and sizes. Furthermore, the earlier a company begins to give mind to these structures, the easier implementation can be. Good corporate governance can help bring in outside expertise, attract funding, and ensure long-term sustainability.
The UK’s corporate governance is world-renowned and replicated in large part due to its flexibility and recognition that no two business or boards are the same. The ‘comply or explain’ model that listed companies are obliged to adhere to could be voluntary replicated by start-ups, scale ups, and SMEs. These organisations should verse themselves with the regulatory environment they inhabit, map out their objectives and risks, and then replicate examples of best practise to comply with while explaining to themselves the ones which are not appropriate.
This level of self-discipline may seem onerous from the outset, but it will show investors, suppliers, and customers of the sincerity you have in your operations. As well as displaying a prudent attitude to risk, it can also help to display recognition of your organisation’s footprint on the community you interact with, and that you take the interests of your employees, customers, and supplier into account in your decision making processes.
So, where do you start?
Each company will need to ‘find their own way’ when it comes to building a governance framework, however there are some features which are universally applicable. These should include building clear reporting lines and decision making processes so that there is an understanding of where responsibilities lie. The responsibilities themselves should be distributed over appropriate roles so as to both provide checks on power, but also to ensure that there is a proper balance of skills. One resource we would encourage directors to use to track their own skills is the IoD Director Competency Framework which sets out the knowledge, skills and mind-set that a director needs to perform effectively as a board member.
All levels of an organisation should be clear on what expectations and goals apply to them. When you then come to build on this further there are many sources of ‘inspiration’ for SME’s to look to. The UK Corporate Governance Code while applied to the listed market contains much of use for companies outside the equity markets. Its main principles; Leadership, Effectiveness, Accountability, Remuneration and Relations with shareholders all have lessons for an SME prepared to adapt them to their need.
Let’s consider some of the main principles of corporate governance which are applicable to all unlisted companies
- Shareholders should establish an appropriate constitutional and governance framework for the company. This would typically be embodied in a company’s articles of association – the ground rules of the organisation.
- Every company should strive to establish an effective board, which is collectively responsible for the long-term success of the company, including the definition of the corporate strategy. An interim step on the road to an effective (and independent) board may be the creation of an advisory board. At an early stage of a company’s development, it may be appropriate to operate many aspects of the board’s activities in a relatively informal and non-bureaucratic manner.
- The size and composition of the board should reflect the scale and complexity of the company’s activities. During the early years of the company’s existence, owner-managers may be uncomfortable about inviting outsiders onto the board. They may not yet be ready to share sensitive company information and decision making powers with external persons. Hence the board often consists of owner-managers’ colleagues, family members, or close friends. As the company grows, more focus will be placed on the board, which is the key decision-making body of the company and so they composition and competence of the board will need to change to reflect this.
- The board should meet sufficiently regularly to discharge its duties, and be supplied in a timely manner with appropriate information. Too many board meetings may result in the board becoming too operational. On the other hand, too few meetings may pose problems for the fulfilment of the board’s duties. Therefore sufficient attention should be given to the appropriate number of board meetings. Smaller companies will typically have four to eight board meetings per annum, possibly including a full-day strategic board meeting. However, the exact number of meetings required by the board to fulfil its responsibilities will depend on the specific needs of the company
- Levels of remuneration should be sufficient to attract, retain, and motivate executives and non-executives of the quality required to run the company successfully. In contrast to executives, non-executive directors are normally remunerated on a fixed-fee basis. This is to ensure that non-executives retain an objective and independent perspective on the activities of the company. For this reason, share options would not normally form part of a non-executive’s remuneration framework. Shareholders and boards may consider the rewarding of non-executives through stock. However, although stock ownership may increase the alignment of directors’ interests with those of shareholders, the board should be aware that equity holdings may affect external perceptions of independence (see principle 11). The compatibility of stock-based remuneration with non-executive duties is ultimately a matter for shareholders.
- The board is responsible for risk oversight and should maintain a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the company’s assets. It is useful for companies to develop a basic risk register, which is reviewed by the board on a regular basis. This will contain the following categories of information:
- A description of the main risks facing the company
- The impact should this event actually occur
- The probability of its occurrence
- A summary of the planned response should the event occur
- A summary of risk mitigation (the actions that can be taken in advance to reduce the probability and/or impact of the event).
- There should be a dialogue between the board and the shareholders based on a mutual understanding of objectives. The board as a whole has responsibility for ensuring tshapinghat a satisfactory dialogue with shareholders takes place. The board should not forget that all shareholders have to be treated equally. Shareholders of unlisted companies may particularly value a close dialogue with boards due to the illiquidity of their shareholdings. In contrast to listed companies, they are less able to express their views on a company’s strategy and risk profile through the buying and selling of their shares.
- All directors should receive induction on joining the board and should regularly update and refresh their skills and knowledge. Director orientation is an essential means of providing non-executive directors with the informational building blocks they need to effectively engage in strategic reflection and oversight. It is also important for executive directors, who may come from a functional background and may not yet be used to exercising oversight across the company as a whole.In the UK, it is possible for directors to develop and update their director-specific skills by qualifying as a Chartered Director. Such a professional qualification provides a framework within which to undertake continuing professional development. It also establishes an ethical and disciplinary framework within which to hold directors to account
- Family-controlled companies should establish family governance mechanisms that promote coordination and mutual understanding amongst family members, as well as organise the relationship between family governance and corporate governance.A family constitution outlines how this family governance structure should work. It clarifies the family’s approach with respect to the following:
- The family’s values, mission statement, and vision
- The role of family institutions, such as the family assembly and the family council
- The role of the board of directors, and its relationship to the family institutions
- Policies regarding important family issues, such as employment policies with respect to family members, restrictions on transfers of shares, and succession policy with respect to the CEO
- The nomination of family members to the board.

IRELAND - The FAS Training and Employment Authority Pension Scheme is awaiting recommendations from the Department of Finance before implementing a new investment strategy, according to MandateWire.
Brendan Byrne, secretary to the fund, told MandateWire: "The Department of Finance has to make a plan on how we will go, and until that happens we won't be able to take it any further."
The options include leaving the strategy as it is, going to specialist routes, or moving members to a pay-as-you-go basis like the rest of the public sector, according to Byrne.
Byrne said: "We are a non-commercial service state, so we don't generate money. We're just a spender of government funds, that's the reason why they're trying to figure out what they would like to do with the fund.
"I'll be keeping all the options open, because when the time comes I will need to be able to then advise what we want to do."
This week's edition of Professional Pensions is out now.
The government is in talks with the UK and Irish pensions regulators over how to protect members of cross-border schemes in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
The equalisation of guaranteed minimum pensions (GMPs) is at least two years away from being completed, and could take longer than four years for some schemes, a poll has found.
The Pensions Regulator will consider if schemes should be required to have professional trustees and assess the case for greater regulation of administrators and system providers, PP can reveal.

Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computer processing infrastructure, operating systems, software and data storage over Internet-based public or private computer networks. The aim is to relieve users of some of the burdens associated with maintaining computers and data storage, while enabling the associated costs to be reduced. Although cloud computing is still developing in popularity and coverage, its use raises a number of crime and security concerns, particularly for small business users. This paper charts the nature of these concerns for small business and reviews the detection, prevention and mitigation measures that may be implemented by small business users and cloud service providers to minimise or negate the risks identified.

According to the anti-Human Trafficking group, Polaris, located in D.C., the number of trafficked humans in the US is startling.
- Since 2007, the National Human Trafficking Hotline, operated by Polaris, has received reports of 22,191 sex trafficking cases inside the United States.
- In 2016, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children estimated that 1 in 6 endangered runaways reported to them were likely sex trafficking victims.
- The International Labor Organization estimates that there are 4.5 million people trapped in forced sexual exploitation globally.
- In a 2014 report, the Urban Institute estimated that the underground sex economy ranged from $39.9 million in Denver, Colorado, to $290 million in Atlanta, Georgia.
Sadly, the US government appears to spend far more time looking for an illegal plant or for Tom Brady’s jersey, than they do on missing children.


Apple’s new third-generation iPhone SE is officially available to pre-order. After being announced during the “Peek Performance” special event this week, the iPhone SE 3 is now available to purchase via the Apple Store Online. The first pre-orders are slated to arrive in one week, on March 18.
iPhone SE 3 pre-orders now live
The new iPhone SE 3 packs the latest Apple internals inside a familiar design that’s based on the iPhone 8. The device offers an A15 Bionic chip, 5G connectivity, more durable front and back glass, and an upgraded camera system. The familiar design includes a physical home button that features integrated Touch ID and a 4.7-inch display.
The iPhone SE 3 isn’t the most exciting new iPhone to be announced by Apple, but it is expected to be a popular one. Apple says that the device is a popular choice among new iPhone users in particular.
Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing explains:
“iPhone SE has been an incredibly popular choice with our existing users and for new iPhone customers, thanks to its iconic design, exceptional performance, and affordable price. This year we’ve built the most powerful and durable iPhone SE yet, with better battery life thanks to A15 Bionic, the same chip as our iPhone 13 lineup that also unlocks advanced camera features like Smart HDR 4, Photographic Styles, and Deep Fusion. And with 5G, iPhone SE gives users faster downloads and uploads, higher quality video streaming, real-time interactivity in apps, and much more. Delivering the latest generation of technology and performance at this price is something only Apple can do.”
The new iPhone SE 3 is available in PRODUCT(RED), starlight, and midnight color options. Pricing starts at $429 for the 64GB configuration. This is a $30 price increase compared to the second-generation iPhone SE, an increase that is almost certainly attributable to the new 5G modem inside. You can also upgrade to the 128GB and 256GB models for an added cost.
Citing environmental concerns, Apple is no longer including headphones or a charging brick in the iPhone SE box. Here are some accessories you might consider picking up to help fill that gap and complement your new iPhone.
- Native Union Drop 10W Qi Charger
- Anker 30W USB-C wall charger
- USB-C to Lightning cable
- Lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter or cable
Are you planning to purchase a new iPhone SE 3, whether it be for you or anyone else in your life? Let us know down in the comments!

Hi all, I'd like to blend some glue lines on a piece I had prepped recently. I've read that painting over them with a mixture of elmers white glue, powdered matrix and water can give a fairly good, reversible finish and is cheap! I was just wondering what sort of ratios to go for if anyone has any idea? Cheers, Matt
Hi Fellow Forum members. I have been using a home made dust collection system and think it is time to upgrade. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have seen some woodshop dust collectors that will filter down to 0.3 microns but I am not sure if that is good enough. I am looking for feedback from anyone with experience with dust collectors. Thanks, Andy
Tonight I started to build my new workstation for prepping fossils. I picked up a blasting cabinet at our farm supply store. I removed the heavy duty gloves and sandblasting gun and adapted some other stuff to attach the shop vac . I need a few pieces to add more led lights to the inside


The quest for happiness is an ongoing one. And whether we’re flicking through the latest self-help tome or logging into a mindfulness app, achieving this feeling is often one of our ultimate goals.
And the good news is, is that there’s an affordable course that could help you along this journey, and it’s backed by none other than the Dalai Lama himself – yes really.
Exploring What Matters is an eight-week, science-based course run by charity Action for Happiness, and it takes place across a number of locations across the UK.
It gives participants the chance to learn from the experts through videos, mindfulness exercises and a handbook full of resources, as well as outlining small actions you can take each week to create happiness for yourself and those around you.
And all this while getting the opportunity to talk and share what really does matter in life with likeminded people.
Each of the eight sessions is structured in the following way:
- Tuning in: simple activities that are great for wellbeing (e.g. mindfulness exercise)
- Expert view: an inspiring 15 minute TED-style video/talk from a leading expert (including Richard Layard, Ed Diener, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Karen Amrstrong, Brene Brown, Shawn Achor)
- Personal view: a chance for people to reflect on their own experiences
- Did you know?: fascinating and surprising research findings relating to the theme
- Group discussion: sharing ideas in groups and listening to each other’s perspectives
- Action ideas: everybody comes away with an action they hope to take as a result
On the course the Dalai Lama, Patron for Action for Happiness, said, “I wholeheartedly support the Exploring What Matters course and hope that many thousands will benefit from it and be inspired to take their own action to create a happier world.”
Here are what some past attendees have had to say about the course:
‘The course has really had a profoundly positive impact on my life”
“It has been so incredible to be surrounded by such interesting people who share my passion for making the world happier”
