Boil Water Notice Near Taylor & Ward
Update as of 10/27, 8:45 a.m.: The boil-water notice has been lifted.
As a result of a water-main break near Ward Avenue and Taylor Avenue, a boil-water notice has been issued. This boil-water notice affects water customers on:
- Ward Avenue, between Lavalette and South Gate
- Taylor Avenue, south of Sixteenth Street
Work to repair this break may affect water pressure throughout a wider area, but the boil-water notice is limited to the above customers. Water system employees are working to restore service as quickly as possible.
Boil-water notices are issued out of an abundance of caution because positive pressure has been lost and the possibility of contamination exists, not because contamination has been detected. Detection of contamination requires analysis by an independent lab. For more information about what to do under a boil-water notice, click here.
Notification will be sent out when the boil water advisory is lifted. This cannot occur until at least 24 hours after repairs are completed. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience during this time.

The New York Giants have an eclectic mix of defensive stalwarts heading into training camp. One by one, we whittle down the potential candidates for the starting Defensive Tackle position in Week 1.
There's been plenty of turnover on the New York Giants roster and coaching staff this offseason. Between the change at offensive coordinator to the revolving door at offensive line, The Giants Beat has everything covered from top to bottom regarding Big Blue's wheelings and dealings this spring.
The Giants Beat's Rick Laughland sat down with New York Giants' prized defensive tackle Mike Patterson to talk about his expectations this season and how he can contribute to Big Blue's revamped pass-rush in 2013.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) – India’s ambassador to the United States said on Thursday concluding current negotiations on a limited trade deal would be a crucial step towards a comprehensive bilateral trade pact between the two nations.
“First step to realise trade partnership is to conclude ongoing trade negotiations,” said Taranjit Singh Sandhu during a virtual summit organised by an industry body.
India and the United States have been struggling for more than a year to conclude the limited trade deal, sparring over higher tariffs and New Delhi’s policies on e-commerce and data storage.
Sandhu said the two nations were engaged in talks to get greater access for agricultural products in each other’s markets. Washington has been pressing New Delhi to roll back higher tariffs on a slew of farm products such as almonds, walnuts and apples.

Excerpts from reviews and statements of exhibitions
"These are deep compassionate paintings that not only explore the possibilities of painting but also what it means to be human."
Sue Hubbard, Time Out
"These paintings are in the end notations from the underbelly of modern society symbols of a common human experience in a time of diminishing cultural experience."
Felicity Fenner, Sydney Morning Herald Australia
"Peter Griffin is one of the finest painters working in this country today."
BBC Radio Three, "Third Ear"
"It has taken an Englishman’s paintings to open our eyes once more to Neruda's poetry."
Dr Antonio Fernandez, Director La Pinacoteca Concepción Chile
“Few media images overcome compassion fatigue to the extent of Peter Griffin's profoundly moving paintings."
Tania Guha, Time Out
"Griffin I see as a major artist.....one cannot help thinking these paintings will make the world a better place."
Norbert Lynton, Modern Painters
"Griffin's works are some of the most persuasive in the exhibition. His wrapped and swaddled forms suggest care and preservation, as well as mystery and a fear of loss, both personal and social. Of all the works, they are also furthest in style from any conventional understanding of abstraction."
Australian Arts Review
“Peter Griffin is above all a painter’s painter”
Mike Von Joel, State of Art
“....curiously the strokes and slashes of paint seems not so much to conceal form as to reveal its essential character”
Karen Wilkin, New York art critic and curator, in the exhibition catalogue “Inside Out”
" Griffin’s paintings inspire us to recall aspects of our lives, our relationships and spiritual experiences that we have forgotten. Above all they teach us that it is important to remember”
Else Marie Bukdahl, former Rector of The Royal Danish Academy
"I felt,and still do,that Peter Griffin has found a basket of possibilities to express his honest reaction to the flood of images that possesed him. What a beautiful body of work surrounded me. I could not stop looking from one work to the other and at the unexpected imagery that made itself so felt"
Sir Terry Frost, artist, UK, in the exhibition catalogue “Sealed with Fire”
"...deeply routed in the classical tradition, a figurative artist working with an abstract language with an exquisite painterly touch. Griffin is one of the best."
Willard Boepple, Sculptor, New York

Following a £4.2m restoration and support from Sunderland City Council, National Lottery Heritage Fund, Castle in the Community group and English Heritage, Hylton Castle has been lovingly transformed into a beautiful heritage and community venue, which will be run by Hylton Castle Trust on behalf of the community.
Set over three floors, Hylton Castle will be home to a multitude of learning, event and exhibition spaces, as well as a café.
The Trust will also deliver community-based learning and engagement programmes. Working alongside local schools and various parts of the voluntary and community sector, Hylton Castle will be at the heart of the Wearside community and offer invaluable opportunities for training and volunteering too!
Of course, everyone is welcome to come along and visit the castle without taking part in any of the many events or activities.
Work to transform Hylton Castle into a heritage and community venue for all to enjoy began in 2016, with construction work beginning in autumn 2017.
The state-of-the-art revitalisation of this 14th century medieval castle has provided several construction training opportunities for local young people. Sunderland’s young people worked alongside skilled crafts people to gain valuable insight into a range of traditional skills, such as stone and wood working. These opportunities have successfully provided pathways into apprenticeships and employment for several of these young people.
Local volunteers have also been playing their part in helping to bring the site back to life. They have been turning their hands to everything from photography, litter- picking and guided tours of the building, as well as providing interpretation content. This content will allow visitors to fully immerse themselves in the castle’s history and heritage.
The recently-revealed architecture and corbels will tell previously untold stories of the castle’s fascinating past and the unique roof viewing platform will offer stunning views of present-day Sunderland.
With funding of £2.9m provided by National Lottery Heritage Fund, along with financial contributions from Sunderland City Council, Garfield Weston and The Wolfson Foundation, the castle has been restored sympathetically, making sure the original architecture and surrounding landscape remains intact to be enjoyed by local residents and visitors.
Councillor John Kelly, Cabinet Member for Communities and Culture at Sunderland City Council, said: “This is a really exciting time; the castle is such a fantastic asset for the city and we’ve had a huge amount of interest in its transformation.”
“This project isn’t just about celebrating the history of the castle and the grounds, it’s about celebrating the different roles the building has played in the heart of the community and in the lives of the generations of people connected with it.”
“The fact that this has been very much a community project, led by local people for over 25 years, is what makes it so special. In the last year alone, we’ve had more than 120 people volunteering their time, skills and expertise in a range of roles from raising awareness of the castle’s history and leading workshops with local school children, to carrying out environmental work in Hylton Dene and hosting a huge battle re-enactment in the castle grounds.”
Susan Ord, Chair of Hylton Castle Trust, said: “The Trustees are looking forward to working with our partners to create a new chapter in the history of the castle, putting it once more at the heart of the community, engaging and inspiring the next generation to protect this key part of Sunderland’s heritage”.
Hylton Castle Trust will be partnered in the management and operation of the castle by Sunderland North Community Business Centre, which already manages Fulwell Mill and Bowes Railway.

The collabo-writing process also allows faculty members with less experience to learn from those with more. The more usual process is that the editing is done by an independent editor after the writer submits a draft version.
Likewise, when organizations choose to rotate the roles of team members, it allows employees to participate in roles such as team lead, recorder, researcher, editor, reporter, and more.
This means that collaboration follows the model of forking, committing, and merging: Collaborative writing provides an opportunity for employees — both new and not-so-new — to explore skills as both leaders and subordinate team members.
For me the private act of poetry writing is songwriting, confessional, diary-keeping, speculation, problem-solving, storytelling, therapy, anger management, craftsmanship, relaxation, concentration and spiritual adventure all in one inexpensive package.
In the case of works created by one person, typically, the first owner of a copyright in that work is the person who created the work, i.

Governor Andrew Cuomo holds each day press briefing on the foot of Mario Cuomo Bridge in Tarrytown, New York, June 15, 2020.
Lev Radin | Pacific Press | LightRocket by way of Getty Images
What a distinction just a few months have made for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo — and never in a great way.
Cuomo final yr was lionized by many who noticed him as a reliable, science-respecting, straight-talking, dad-like counterpoint to then-President Donald Trump’s off-the-cuff, expert-disdaining and often-confusing strategy to dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.
Cuomo’s each day press conferences detailing the grim Covid-19 statistics in New York and urging residents to take precautions from changing into contaminated grew to become must-see TV for weeks, as did his towel-snapping banter in interviews with CNN anchorman Chris Cuomo — his personal brother.
As a outcome, there was renewed discuss that Cuomo, whose father Mario’s agonizing over whether or not to run for president earned him the sobriquet of “Hamlet on the Hudson,” could be a contender for the Democratic nomination for the White House in 2024, or some place within the federal authorities earlier than that.
Cuomo even scored a deal to write down a guide, “American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the Covid-19 Pandemic,” revealed in October — even because the disaster continued to threaten his personal state and elsewhere.
But it’s Cuomo’s managerial strategy to the well being disaster that has led to a political disaster in his administration that threatens his electoral future.
The U.S. Department of Justice is now conducting a criminal probe into nursing dwelling deaths in New York associated to the coronavirus, it was revealed this week. Disclosure of that probe got here weeks after New York’s personal lawyer common, Letitia James, mentioned that deaths associated to these settings had been being underreported by the Cuomo administration by as a lot as 50%.
And Cuomo additionally faces an effort within the state legislature to strip him of his emergency powers, a push that has been fueled by resentment over the governor’s verbal strong-arming of lawmakers who get in his method.
There is even discuss of making an attempt to question Cuomo.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the progressive Democrat whose district encompasses elements of Queens and the Bronx, New York, on Friday issued a press release becoming a member of different elected officers’ request for a “full investigation of the State’s handling of the nursing homes during the pandemic.”
Ocasio-Cortez additionally mentioned she supported “our state’s return to co-equal governance,” a reference to what’s seen as Cuomo’s dominance over the legislative department for years.
“Thousands of vulnerable New Yorkers lost their lives in nursing homes during the pandemic,” she mentioned. “Their loved ones and the public deserve answers and transparency from their elected leadership.”
The distinction between Cuomo’s scenario now and what it was as of final fall was vividly illustrated final week when he left the White House with out talking to reporters after a White House assembly on pandemic reduction and vaccination efforts with President Joe Biden and different governors and mayors.
If that assembly had occurred final summer time, it’s unlikely that Cuomo would have missed the chance to inform journalists his ideas in regards to the sitdown.
But this assembly got here on the heels of a report in The New York Post that Cuomo’s prime aide, Melissa DeRosa, had lately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the Covid death tally in state nursing houses final yr — when Trump was nonetheless president — due to concern that the statistics would “be used against us” by federal prosecutors.
That apology apparently itself raised the antennae of prosecutors.
On Thursday night time, The Wall Street Journal reported that prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York had sought information on Covid-related nursing dwelling deaths.
The request is “part of a broader inquiry into the state’s handling of the pandemic in those care settings,” in line with sources who spoke to the Journal.
One supply for the article mentioned the information request got here after DeRosa’s apology was reported.
Families of Covid victims and Republican lawmakers in New York final yr had criticized Cuomo for a state Health Department order that required nursing houses to just accept their residents again even when they had been discharged by a hospital with Covid.
Those critics blame that coverage for super-charging the unfold of the virus in nursing houses.
Cuomo, whose press workplace didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark by CNBC, this week mentioned, “My health experts don’t believe it was wrong and we’ve gone through all the facts several times.”
The governor additionally mentioned he had adopted steerage from two prime federal companies, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
“If we did believe it was wrong, then we would say we believed it was wrong, and we made a mistake following CDC and CMS guidance, and then I would sue the federal government for malpractice on their CDC and CMS guidance,” Cuomo mentioned.
But on Tuesday, 9 Democratic members of the state Assembly despatched their colleagues a letter that accused Cuomo of deliberately obstructing justice in violation of federal criminal legislation. That letter known as for the Assembly to strip the federal government of emergency powers granted him final yr because the pandemic started spreading.
“This is a necessary first step in beginning to right the criminal wrongs of this Governor and his administration,” mentioned the letter, whose signatories included Assemblyman Ron Kim of Queens.
Kim this week mentioned that after he was quoted criticizing the withholding of nursing dwelling information in a New York Post article, he bought a livid telephone name from Cuomo on Feb. 11.
“You have not seen my wrath,” Cuomo warned Kim, in line with the lawmaker. “You will be destroyed,” the governor allegedly mentioned, in line with Kim.
Kim additionally instructed The Post that the governor mentioned, “I can tell the whole world what a bad person you are, and you will be finished.”
In an interview with NBC New York, Kim mentioned, “He spent 10 minutes berating me, yelling at me, threatening me and my career, my livelihood.”
Kim’s spouse, who purportedly heard Cuomo as a result of he was so loudly berating the assemblyman, was so shook up by the governor’s threats that she “didn’t sleep that night,” Kim mentioned.
Cuomo’s spokesman Rich Azzopardi instructed The Post that Kim was “lying about his conversation with Gov. Cuomo.”
“I know because I was one of three other people in the room when the phone call occurred,” Azzopardi mentioned, in line with The Post.
“At no time did anyone threaten to ‘destroy’ anyone with their ‘wrath’ nor engage in a ‘cover up.'”
Kim had not backed down together with his claims.
During an look Friday on ABC’s “The View,” Kim mentioned, “Cuomo is an abuser.”
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who usually has been a whipping boy for Cuomo, instructed MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” present that the decision to Kim was “classic Andrew Cuomo.”
“A lot of people in New York state have received those phone calls, you know, the bullying is nothing new,” de Blasio mentioned.
“I believe Ron Kim, and it’s very, very sad — no public servant, no person who’s telling the truth should be treated that way.”

Uncomplicated urinary tract (UTI) infections are the commonest bacterial infections in community. Recently ciprofloxacin has become a popular treatment option. However, with increasing resistance to ciprofloxacin, adequacy of current dosing regimens became questionable.
Ciprofloxacin sensitivity was tested on 4 urinary bacterial isolates. Pharmacodynamic parameters (minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and postantibiotic effect) were determined. MIC values were incorporated with ciprofloxacin pharmacokinetic profile using pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic efficacy index, Cmax/MIC, which is known to correlate with therapeutic response, in order to compare two dosing regimens of ciprofloxacin: 250mg/12h and 500mg/24h, usually used in treatment of uncomplicated UTI.
Urinary concentrations of ciprofloxacin are twice higher after a single 500 mg dose (15, 16) than after a 250 mg one (236 and 518 μg/mL, respectively) and are still high at the end of dosing interval (23 and 32 μg/mL). When PK/PD ratios were calculated, both dosing regimen produced Cmax/MIC values high above the desired threshold of 10 for all tested bacteria and for both dosing regimens, concentrations stay above the MIC (T>MIC) through whole dosing interval. Dosing regimen of 500mg/24h showed supremacy over 250 mg/12h producing higher peak concentrations in urine.
The 500mg/24h dose should produce faster eradication rate and slow the development of resistant strains. With the advantage of higher compliance once daily 500mg ciprofloxacin seems better option for treatment of uncomplicated UTI.

Despite the failure of several attempts to regulate social media, Nigeria’s government remains determined to root out what it describes as ongoing misuse and abuse.
Recent statements by Nigerian Senate president, Ahmed Lawan, and the Minister of State, Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, reflect the official stance.
Lawan said social media platforms are often used to disseminate disinformation and make leadership more challenging.
During a lecture at the National Defence College on Tuesday, Lawan said: “Throughout history, no set of leaders ever faced the kind of challenges that leadership faces in today’s world because of the existence of social media. Sometimes, fake or distorted information is passed that costs leadership a lot of efforts to put things straight and this is a serious challenge for all leaders across the world today.”
Days earlier Keyamo posted a tweet asking why governments around the world have not “passed laws or taken some other actions to ensure social media companies take full responsibility for allowing false & uncensored materials on their platforms.”
He believes user accounts should be linked to national ID as recorded in the government database to avoid anonymity.
In December 2015, the Frivolous Petitions Bill, which proposed jail time and a US$10,000 fine for contravening social media posts, was withdrawn six months later after a major backlash.
It was the same for the Anti-social Media Bill proposed in November 2019. The Bill was discussed in the Senate and even passed a second reading, but was also eventually dropped.
Subsequently, the widely-publicised #EndSARS protests in 2020 was met with calls by government representatives, including the Information Minister, Lai Mohammed and several state governors, for sterner regulation of social media.
This week Facebook removed the page of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, for what the social media network described as “repeated posting of content that violated our rules on coordinating harm and hate speech.”
Kanu’s removal triggered fierce anti-government debates online among members and sympathisers of cause, as well as freedom of speech advocates.
There is speculation this latest development could result in fresh social media regulation legislation.

APARTMENT FLOOR PLAN
The apartments were laid out so that the noiser areas, such as the living room and bathroom, were separated from the bedrooms by as much space as possible. Drain piping was installed outside of bedroom walls to minimize water noise. The walls between apartments are insulated with fiberglass and lined with soundboard to minimize noise transmission between apartments. Apartment floors on all levels of the building have a layer of concrete to dampen sound transmission.
Every attempt was made to maximize the available living space. The central furnace unit is located in a section of closet. The water heater is located below the eat-in counter to free up space for living and storage.
This design has been very successful and has withstood the test of time!

The U.S. Senate has voted 67-32 to consider a nearly $1 trillion national infrastructure package, following a compromise by President Joe Biden and a bipartisan group of senators on key provisions, including $39 billion for public transit and $66 billion for passenger and freight rail.
Caroline Decker, former Amtrak Vice President for the Northeast Corridor, has joined WSP USA as Vice President of Federal Affairs. Decker succeeds Cathy Connor, who retired in June after 32 years with WSP.
The Pennsylvania Northeast Regional Railroad Authority (PNRRA) has signed a Joint Planning Agreement with Amtrak for proposed operation of new intercity service between Scranton, Pa., and New York Penn Station, using the long-dormant, State of New Jersey- and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania-owned Lackawanna Cut-Off. The service is one of the new routes in Amtrak’s 2035 system plan.
Three noted Amtrak industrial designers, past and present — Ralph Dolinger, Blair Slaughter and Cesar Vergara — describe the history of locomotive and passenger car liveries in this video produced for the company’s 50th anniversary.
Having worked into Washington D.C. Union Station from the South my entire Amtrak career as a locomotive engineer, I’m excited yet apprehensive about the acquisition of dual-power and battery-hybrid motive power and integrated trainsets from Siemens Mobility, because it’s going to require the type of commitment to maintenance and service that’s historically been haphazard at Amtrak, at best.
Amtrak on July 8 said it will renew its request that the Surface Transportation Board (STB) intervene on its behalf if CSX and Norfolk Southern (NS) don’t cooperate on hosting new passenger service between New Orleans and Mobile.
Amtrak has awarded Siemens Mobility $3.4 billion in contracts to design, manufacture and provide technical support services and maintenance for 83 trainsets of two power configurations, with options for up to 130 additional trainsets. For Siemens, it is the company’s largest North American contract in history. For Amtrak, its total investment, with a long-term parts supply and service agreement, facility modifications and upgrades, and contingencies, is $7.3 billion. Deliveries are slated to commence in 2024.
A glimpse of actual progress teased the passenger rail industry July 6 when the Canadian government unveiled previously obscure details of its long-running High Frequency Rail (HFR) program.
HDR has promoted Santanu Roy to Global Transportation Planning Director. In addition, Quandel Consultants has named Randy Grauberger Senior Rail Consultant.
Passenger rail along the Fort Collins-Pueblo Front Range will move ahead, thanks to Colorado Gov. Jarid Polis, who has signed a bill creating a new taxing district to coordinate it, according to The Denver Post.

This YAIAA family started the day with state silver and ended with national gold
"There is only room for one silver medal in our family per day."
York Catholic girls' volleyball coach Phil Autrey said that to assistant coach − and dad − Bill Autrey after Saturday's 3-0 loss to Freeport in the PIAA Class 2A final. With runner-up silver medals around their necks, the Autreys were already thinking about a volleyball match several hours from first serve.
In fact, by the time Irish players caught up with family and friends in the auxiliary gym at Cumberland Valley High School after the medal ceremony, Bill Autrey was already in a car with two of his grandsons, headed to Pittsburgh to see granddaughter McKenna Walker play for a national championship.
McKenna, daughter of Bill and Tara Walker, is one of three players from York County to play on Juniata College's women's volleyball team. The senior captain was joined on the team by Dallastown graduates Lexy Bloss and Sydney Ohl, both sophomores.
YAIAA girls' volleyball:Coaches announce all-stars and players of the year
PIAA girls' volleyball:York Catholic punches ticket to first Class 2A title match
Juniata made good on Phil's statement, defeating Trinity (Texas), 3-0, to win their third NCAA Division III national title. Juniata is one of the most storied programs in Division III history, making the NCAA semifinals 27 times in their streak of 41 consecutive tournament appearances.
"We are national champions," Juniata athletic director Nikki Ayers said at Monday's livestreamed celebration. "We work and go to school at a place that produces national champions."
McKenna and Ohl saw significant playing time in Saturday's final at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse. Both defensive specialists, Ohl recorded 19 digs and three aces as a starter, and McKenna had 10 digs when she rotated into the match.
Phil Autrey said his sister, Tara, who is four years older, is responsible for bringing volleyball to the family.
"We all played," Phil said. "She played at Bethlehem Catholic, and my brother and I were playing club because the school didn't have a team. We went to Dad and said the school needed a team and coach."
So Bill Autrey coached his sons and the new team.
"When my sister played at Bethlehem Catholic, they practiced outside on a macadam court," Phil said. "The court was at the top of a hill, and since I was younger, I had to chase the balls that went down the hill."
Even though her mom went on to play in college at Rider, Phil said volleyball wasn't his niece's first sport. She started out as a soccer player, and didn't pick up volleyball until her father's job forced a move to York.
A coaching vacancy coincided with McKenna's start at York Catholic, and Phil was hired.
The Irish won a district title in McKenna's freshman year, and finished as the runner-up the other three years. Because of the weird structure of the Class 2A bracket, only the District 3 champion advances to the PIAA tournament. So McKenna only played in the state tournament her freshman year.
While playing for her uncle at York Catholic, McKenna made the District 3 Class 2A first team three times, and was honorable mention as a freshman. She made the all-state team twice and holds the school's dig record with 1,060.
She played in every match this season and all but three games. Only one person on the team played in more games than McKenna did. She finished the season with 45 aces and 294 digs, and her career with 84 aces and 625 digs.
"It takes a village to do something special," Eagles coach Heather Pavlik said at the celebration. "Everyone here had a part in that. This is a small place, and we all work side by side. When you are trying to reach for excellence, you can't do that by yourself."
Ohl, a sophomore defensive specialist, also played in every match this season and nearly every game. She finished the season with 54 aces and 285 digs. While at Dallastown, Ohl was a league and District 3 all-star and was twice named to the all-state team.
Bloss, a sophomore 6-1 middle hitter, played in roughly half of this year's matches, finishing with 71 kills, two aces and 33 blocks. At Dallastown, she was a league and district all-star.
Pavlik said the Eagles used a "hard loss in last year's playoffs" to fuel this year's run. They finished 34-1, with only a 1-3 loss to at Trinity earlier in the season.

Fender Guitars and Mattel mark the release of the Netflix movie “Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams” with a new Barbie collection of song lessons on its e-learning app.
Created to inspire future musicians, the lessons show young guitarists how to play songs from the film while developing their playing skills and techniques. This fall, anyone who purchases Barbie dolls inspired by characters playing guitar will also benefit from three months of free lessons on Fender Play.
âAt Fender, we are already working with and supporting a growing range of incredibly talented women in the music business. Having said that, we think it’s important for young aspiring musicians to see themselves in the heroes they admire, âsaid Evan Jones, CMO of Fender. Variety. “We want young women to see that they can be anything – be it a guitarist, songwriter, producer or any career – in the music industry.”
The collection will include step-by-step guided video lessons for two songs from the special – including âAt the Finish Lineâ and âBefore Usâ – allowing Barbie fans to play the game.
“Our original music, drawn from a wide range of genres, is a key component in creating compelling content at Mattel Television and integral to our brands’ ability to connect with children of all ages to help them learn and grow, âsays Andrea Carpenter, Mattel senior director, content distribution and partnerships. âWe have an incredible assortment of music in our library from some of our most iconic brands including Barbie, Thomas & Friends, Masters of the Universe, American Girl and Fisher-Price, all available through our exclusive distribution partnership with Warner Music. Group. Barbie has been inspiring, empowering and entertaining children for decades and in âBarbie: Big City, Big Dreamsâ we see Barbie âMalibuâ Roberts and Barbie âBrooklynâ Roberts making their dreams come true through music. Our partnership with Fender is just one of the ways we leverage original music to inspire the limitless potential in every child.
Classes will be taught by Fender Play guitar teachers Abby Hwong and Sydney Ellen, Jones explains. The Fender program incorporates lessons and learning paths on Fender Play, the digital learning app for guitar, bass, and ukulele. Professors and on-camera instructors come from universities such as USC, UCLA, and Berklee College of Music.
âThe lessons are video-based and feature step-by-step guided instructions for two songs from the special,â Jones adds. âThroughout the process, players can play, pause, go back and follow their progress. Everything is completely on-demand, so they can learn anywhere, anytime and at home with their family. “
Tying guitar lessons to an iconic figure like Barbie Roberts is part of Fender’s mission to inspire the next generation of guitarists. Jones says, âMusic has the power to unlock so much, especially for children and young people who are looking to find their own voice. One of the ambitions of our brand is to open the paths of musical expression and the guitar to the greatest number of girls, children and budding musicians. With this integration with Mattel, we hope that the introduction of a Fender Play collection for ‘Barbie: Big City Big Dreams’ would inspire young players to keep playing the guitar or pick up one and start learning for the first time. times.
Additionally, Mattel will introduce a line of character-inspired dolls, playsets and accessories, also launching this fall. Each doll will have a QR code sticker on the box offering customers three months of free Fender Play lessons – where they can learn songs from artists like HER and Billie Eilish.
âWe’re definitely open to working with other like-minded brands to further support young musicians and aspiring women,â Jones adds. “We continue to add to our library of lessons every day, so these musicians continue to find inspiration on their musical journey.”


Hawk’s cousin posted that she was amazed to see these last week (December 22, 2019) in Northern Indiana. Her local news posted pics and ran a story on it. She did not take any pictures herself.
But here’s the thing – while people were fascinated and whispers of aliens spread along with parents spinning a long yarn about Santa and his elves watching little kids, there is controversy among astronomers about these little satellites and their interference in viewing stars.
These little satellites are for internet access.
Satellites can beam internet access down to the ground from space.
And if you have lots of them in orbit, it means even the most remote regions can get connectivity.
To give you an idea of the numbers, there are currently just 2,200 active satellites flying around the Earth.
Starlink constellation – a project by US company SpaceX – will start sending batches of 60 satellites into orbit every few weeks (November was the last launch of 60). This will mean by the mid-2020s there could be a fleet of 12,000.
Here is the deployment of a batch of 60 Starlink satellites.
What’s the big deal?
Dr. Dave Clements, an astrophysicist from Imperial College London, told BBC News: “The night sky is a commons – and what we have here is a tragedy of the commons.”
In May and November, Starlink sent 120 satellites into orbits below 500km.
But stargazers were concerned when the spacecraft appeared as bright white flashes on their images.
Dhara Patel, an astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich said: “These satellites are about the size of a table, but they’re very reflective, and their panels reflect lots of the Sun’s light, which means that we can see them in images that we take with telescopes.
“These satellites are also big radiowave users… and that means they can interfere with the signals that astronomers using. So it also affects radio astronomy as well.”
Dr. Clements said it would be particularly troublesome for telescopes taking large surveys of the sky, such as the future Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) in Chile.
He explained: “What we want to do with LSST and other telescopes is to make a real-time motion picture of how the sky is changing…
“Now we have these satellites that interrupt observations, and it’s like someone’s walking around firing a flashbulb every now and again.”
What steps have been taken already?
SpaceX told the BBC that they were actively working with international astronomers to minimize the impact of the Starlink satellites.
For their next launch, they are trialing a special coating that is designed to make the spacecraft less bright to see if this will help.
OneWeb, which is planning a mega-constellation of these satellites, said they wanted to be a “thought leader in responsible space” and were putting their satellites into an orbit of 1,200km so they would not interfere with astronomical observations.
Ruth Pritchard-Kelly, vice president of OneWeb, said: “We chose an orbit as part of our dedication to responsible use of outer space… And we’ve also talked to the astronomy community before we launched to make sure that that our satellites won’t be too reflective, and that there won’t be radio interference with their radio astronomy.”
She added that it shouldn’t be a case of having to choose between connectivity and astronomy.
“There is no question that the entire world is entitled to be connected to the internet…. So it’s going to happen. And probably three or four of these systems are going to happen,” she said.
“And the question will be working with the other stakeholders to make sure that we’re not interfering with them, whether they are existing satellite technologies, or the mobile phone on the ground, or the astronomy community.
“We know we’re going to work it out with everybody.”

Riverdale's season four premiere will feature a tribute to Luke Perry, and according to showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, it will be "really, really emotional." "I think it's a real tribute to Luke," Aguirre-Sacasa said during the Television Critics Association summer press tour. "I think it's a real tribute to Fred. I think it's very cathartic to watch it and I think everyone really came together, specifically to tell this kind of story, the honour Luke and honour Fred . . . It's a really simple — it's one of our . . . just beautiful."
The episode, which is titled "In Memoriam," will also feature a special appearance from one of Perry's former Beverly Hills, 90210 cast mates, Shannen Doherty. Aguirre-Sacasa confirmed that Doherty will join the cast to pay homage to the late actor at San Diego Comic-Con. Doherty also posted about the news on Instagram with two photos of her and Perry. "I am deeply honoured to pay tribute to Luke on Riverdale," she wrote. "The care in which this show takes in honouring his memory is beautiful. He is missed. Today. Tomorrow. Forever."
At Comic-Con, Aguirre-Sacasa revealed that Doherty's casting was something Perry had wanted since season one. "They were such good friends, and when we were putting together this tribute episode, we wanted to make it as special as possible," he said. "And so we asked Shannen to do a pivotal, super-emotional role. She read the script and immediately said 'yes.' It's very impactful."
Aguirre-Sacasa first announced the season-opener would include a tribute to Perry in June. He took to Twitter to share a photo of the script for the episode. "Probably the most important episode of #Riverdale we'll do this year, if not ever," he wrote. "A tribute to our fallen friend. Thankful for this opportunity to honour Luke & Fred."

Perry — who died at the age of 52 in March after suffering a massive stroke — made his last appearance as Fred Andrews in April. Riverdale, which concluded its third season in May, has not yet addressed the absence of his character. However, the remaining episodes of season three were dedicated to Perry, as were all future episodes.
Following Perry's death, many of the Riverdale castmates shared emotional tributes to the actor, who had been on the show since its 2017 debut. Lili Reinhart even posted an emotional poem about grief and losing someone close to you. Cole Sprouse also exclusively told POPSUGAR, "He was very close to all of us. And he was an incredibly passionate, well-loved person, and I think the whole world is lamenting his passing."
Riverdale season four will premiere on Oct. 9.

After several years of intensive work by groups of experts, the nomination dossier Modernist Kaunas: Architecture of Optimism, 1919–1939 has been submitted to the UNESCO World Heritage Centre in Paris for consideration by international advisory bodies and the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, to have Kaunas Modernist architecture inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The evaluation process is expected to begin this year and may take up to a year and a half.
The nomination dossier includes a comparative analysis of similar sites on an international scale, the statement of the site’s authenticity and integrity, and the justification of the Outstanding Universal Value. In accordance with the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention, Kaunas Modernist architecture meets the second criteria of exhibiting an important interchange of human values as well as the fourth criteria as an outstanding example of a certain type which illustrates a significant stage in human history.
‘Since 2015 I have been actively involved in the process regarding international recognition of Kaunas Modernist architecture, so I take great pleasure to hold in my hands today this well-grounded nomination file, which we can rightly consider to be a victory for the entire country. The process has taken several years, permitting us to take a fresh look at the unique Modernist architecture of Kaunas, to spotlight it as of especially significant value, and to encourage greater interest from society not just in Kaunas itself, but from all of Lithuania. The result reached through meticulous work would not have been possible without the leadership shown by the Kaunas City Municipality and the thorough dialogue between the local community and cultural organisations. I believe that these efforts will be rewarded with a favourable decision and Kaunas Modernist architecture will be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
However, I want to emphasise that the process of preparing the nomination file itself is of enormous value. The work that went into it and the programme of Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022, to begin less than a year from now, is an exceptional opportunity to anchor Kaunas Modernist architecture in a world context,’ said the Minister of Culture, Simonas Kairys.
Kaunas Modernism represents the unique coexistence of architecture inspired by 20th century artistic ideas with the local historical heritage and expands the concept of Modernist architecture, expressing the variety of Modernism. Kaunas Modernism encourages us to understand Modernist architecture as a political, social, and cultural phenomenon of the first half of the 20th century.
Kaunas interwar architecture was a flash of optimism in the dramatic history of the world in the first half of the 20th century, when state borders changed especially quickly. The transformation of the Temporary Capital bears witness to people’s faith in a self-determined future and their capacity to create amidst complicated political and economic conditions. Modernist Kaunas is a wonderful example of a historic city influenced by rapid urbanisation and modernisation. The sustainable course of development of Kaunas, integrating the historical heritage and the natural environment, has created a distinctive urban landscape and a modern architectural language reflecting the 20th century processes of modernisation of cities.
One of the strengths of the nomination file submitted to UNESCO is the decision to align the site’s territory and its protection zone with the boundaries of the territories and protection zones written into the Cultural Properties Register, i.e., not to provide for additional protection or expansion of existing territorial boundaries. The site’s territory consists of Naujamiestis and Žaliakalnis.
Seeking appropriate protection and management of the site’s Outstanding Universal Value, in cooperation with international experts, a draft Management Plan was prepared. It is a strategic document, integrating preservation of cultural heritage with the urbanistic vision of the Kaunas City General Plan. Implementation of the Management Plan relies on an Action Plan connected with the Kaunas City Strategic Plan and other municipal plans. The mechanism for operation of the Executive and Advisory Councils and the Site Manager is defined. It is expected that this Management Plan model will become a guide for other Lithuanian sites with UNESCO World Heritage status.
The nomination dossier Modernist Kaunas: Architecture of Optimism, 1919–1939 was prepared in cooperation between the Ministry of Culture, the Kaunas City Municipality, and the Secretariat of the Lithuanian National Commission for UNESCO. The nomination dossier was prepared by a group of experts, led from 2019 by Professor Marija Drėmaitė of the Faculty of History at Vilnius University.

Nigeria failed to meet its crude oil target for January 2022, producing only 1.46 million barrels per day (bpd) compared to its initial target of 1.683 million bpd, missing its target by 15%. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) sets the initial production target for member countries per time.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) and Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources has stated that Nigeria’s inability to meet production target is caused by the delay in the full implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act and repeated oil vandalism.
The leading petroleum institutions in the country has also explained that the consequences of output shortfall has been significantly large including repeated plunge in oil earnings, leading to the monthly drop in the NNPC’s remittances
On Wednesday 2 February 2022, oil prices increased marginally as strong demand continues to elapse oil supply in the oil market. However, commodity investors are cautious of OPEC+ meeting later today.
Brent crude rose to 0.1%, to $89.27 a barrel by 07:43 GM, U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was up 0.2%, at $88.34 a barrel.
In the Nigerian oil market, Bonny Light closed with a 0.66% gain to close at $91.08 a barrel while Nigeria’s crude products, Brass River and Qua Iboe both gained 0.1% to close at $91.29 per barrel.
Rigid global supplies and geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe and the Middle East have spiked oil prices over 15% this year.
Reports suggest OPEC+ will likely maintain existing policies of average output increases on Wednesday, after , five sources from the producers’ group said even as it expects demand to rise to new peaks this year
According to reports from Reuters, Five OPEC+ sources said they expected the ministers to agree to go ahead with a planned increase of 400,000 barrels per day in March, despite high oil prices.
However, Goldman Sachs said there was a chance the oil market’s rally would prompt a faster ramp-up.
