'Everything' didn't change — but no one is the same
By Rick Hampson, USA TODAY
Pedestrians streamed across the Brooklyn Bridge the morning after officials said that terrorists might try to blow it up. "Yes, I'm scared, but I'm not going to let terrorists tell me what to do," Marie Quinnville said as she walked to her high-rise office in Lower Manhattan that day last May. "If we change, they win."
This is how it is in America a year after Sept. 11: Most Americans act the same, but most don't feel the same. A USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll released Tuesday finds people more worried and more vigilant, more vulnerable and more unified. And more proud than ever to be Americans. (Related item: View the poll)
Sept. 11 was a watershed, although not necessarily the one expected. This is the paradox of 9/11: It changed very many while changing very little.
A year ago today, however, two phrases echoed: "Everything has changed" and "Nothing will ever be the same." The attacks were likened to Pearl Harbor, which plunged the nation into an all-out world war that killed one in every 450 Americans and transformed society.
A year later, those claims seem overblown. Outwardly, the nation is getting back to normal. Many Americans have concluded that terrorism that targets famous places such as the World Trade Center and the Pentagon is no direct threat to much of the USA. And they consider the battle against terrorism elsewhere in the world less a war than a police action.
The prediction "nothing will be the same" should have been phrased "no one will be the same," the poll suggests. Americans shared an unforgettable trauma, the most riveting national event since the Kennedy assassination. They all watched together: on the sidewalks in New York, on the hills of New Jersey, on the banks of the Potomac, on television everywhere.
"We all were wounded emotionally," says Craig Vacek, 26, a dentist who watched at home in Lincoln, Neb. Rutgers University political scientist Roy Licklider, who lives in Manhattan, calls Sept. 11 "a bonding experience."
This is the stuff nations — and generations — are made of.
"Our freshmen were 5 or 6 when the Berlin Wall fell," says Brian Copenhaver, a UCLA administrator and historian. "September 11 plunged them all at once into history."
But if the attacks changed how Americans feel, many made a deliberate, stubborn and occasionally courageous decision not to change how they behave. Like the people on the Brooklyn Bridge, they believe that living normally is the best revenge.
Three in four Americans say they've continued to live their daily lives as they did before the attacks, according to the poll taken Sept. 2-4. And more than half of those people say they stuck to their previous routines not because they were unaffected by the attacks but because they did not want to be intimidated.
"What else can I do?" Quinnville asked as she crossed the bridge. "This is my country."
Although Sept. 11's most profound effects are psychological and emotional, there are plenty of tangible signs of change.
Life in New York City has changed more than anyplace else. Since Sept. 11, bankruptcies in Manhattan have doubled. A school department study concluded that about 75,000 of the city's 1.1 million students are suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. The city has paid people thousands of dollars to move to Lower Manhattan. The theft of some airline uniforms from a Queens apartment was treated as a major security threat.
There also are changes around the nation, from tighter security at airports to secret detentions of illegal aliens to call-ups of military reservists. If you are an unemployed flight attendant, an FBI agent, an Arab-American or a relative or friend of those killed in the terrorist attacks, the ground is still shaking.
Many others also fear what will happen next. "We'll relax and boom! They'll hit us again," says Tom O'Hern, 27, of Ramsey, N.J., about the nation's enemies.
According to the poll, 38% of Americans still worry that they or a relative will become a victim of terrorism. Sixty% think further acts of terrorism are likely over the next several weeks. And 54% say they are more suspicious of strangers than before Sept. 11.
Some are less willing to fly (33%), go into skyscrapers (30%), attend large public events (29%) or travel overseas (47%).
But compared with other historical events, Sept. 11 seems to have brought relatively little tangible change nationwide:
- A year after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Americans were dying in the South Pacific and North Africa, thousands of women had gone to work in factories, and tires were being rationed.
- A year after President Kennedy was shot, Congress had passed the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Lyndon Johnson had been returned to the White House with a landslide mandate.
- A year after Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865, President Andrew Johnson was losing control of post-Civil War Reconstruction to an antagonistic Congress.
Many say Sept. 11 hasn't had that kind of impact. Jeff Campbell, 24, of Lincoln, was stunned a year ago. But now he says: "Everyone I know is moving on with their lives. I don't think we're much different than before 9/11."
Everywhere, there are signs of a return to routine. Most apartment buildings across from Ground Zero are full. Manhattan's hottest residential neighborhood is near City Hall, just a few blocks away.
The Sears Tower, the nation's tallest building, broke a record this summer for daily visitors to its observation deck overlooking Chicago. Gasoline costs less than on Sept. 11.
Even foreign policy has not been transformed. "The people who wanted to invade Iraq before Sept. 11 still do, and those who didn't still don't," Rutgers' Licklider says.
Most Americans are still willing to fly on airplanes and go into skyscrapers. And the percentages of people who report crying, displaying the flag, praying or attending a religious service as the result of Sept. 11 have all dropped significantly.
The percentage who say they show more affection to their loved ones has gone from 77% in mid-September to 47% now.
Even those who expected the worst see things somewhat differently:
- Michael Day, 42, a florist from Cleveland Heights, Ohio, said on Sept. 11: "The world's never going to be the same."
Today: Despite misgivings, he flew to Singapore in January to visit his brother, who was working at the Trade Center on Sept. 11 and survived the attacks.
Day says he made the trip because the event reminded him "there isn't anything more important than family."
- Elgin Long, 75, a retired airline pilot from Reno, said on Sept. 11: "It's going to be the end of the world, at least as I've known it all of my life."
Today: In March he felt safe enough to go to the Pacific for two months to research the 1937 disappearance of aviator Amelia Earhart. "Everybody stopped what they were doing for a few weeks. But we were encouraged to keep at it," he says.
- Neal Pilson, 62, a consultant and former president of CBS Sports, said on Sept. 11: "We will never be the same after today."
Today: Although he says Americans "are living our lives 95% the same as before," his life has changed a bit.
"I protect my weekends more. I'm more conscious about enjoying time with my family and avoiding another business trip or meeting. I've explained, 'I can't spend a whole weekend at your daughter's wedding.' I'll send a present, but I'm not going to something I really don't want to," he says.
- Cheryl Rankin, 45, an accountant at Georgia State University in Atlanta, said on Sept. 11: "Everything has changed."
Today: "It's not the first thing I think of every morning. But I have the feeling it could happen again."
Some people are dismayed by what they regard as backsliding to pre-9/11 values. "I'm disappointed the patriotism faded so fast," says Vacek, the Lincoln dentist. "People are more concerned with their stocks now than they are with their country."
In a way, however, that's not all bad.
The poll found that 74% of Americans have continued living their daily lives as they did before the attacks, while 26% have changed their daily lives. Of those who did not change, 57% say they wanted to show terrorists they could not be intimidated. Another 37% said they didn't change simply because the attacks hadn't created any need to.
This suggests that by purposely not changing their daily lives, roughly four in 10 Americans found a way to thumb their noses at the attackers and cope with the tragedy.
Think about what courage it took to cross the Brooklyn Bridge on May 22, a day after government officials said that a captured leader of al-Qaeda had told of plans to bomb the bridge and the Statue of Liberty.
In previous days, FBI Director Robert Mueller had said suicide bombings in New York were a definite possibility. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had said it was a matter of time before terrorists got weapons of mass destruction. And Vice President Cheney had said another terror attack was "almost a certainty."
That dawn, the bridge had been closed for an hour after a suspicious knapsack was spotted. Army helicopters patrolled overhead.
"What a resilient country this is, to be able to absorb such a huge, evil attack and go back to our lives," says Cornelius Plantinga Jr., president of Calvin Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Across the nation, people fought back by not panicking and not hoarding medications or prescription drugs.
Even though Americans say they are more suspicious of Muslims, "since 9/11 we've gone from being a three-religion nation to a four-religion one," says Amitai Etzioni, a George Washington University sociologist. "It's rare to have an interfaith service in a big city without a Muslim cleric."
The attacks, which took so much from Americans, also gave them a vivid, shared experience. According to a Pew Research Center poll, virtually all Americans say they can recall precisely where they were or what they were doing the moment they learned of the attacks.
A year later, on an airplane or at a party, with friends or strangers, it's still an instant conversation starter: Where we you on Sept. 11?
"It's just something I will never forget," says Kim Johnson, 41, of Lincoln. "It's a memory that was forced on me."
Psychologists call them "light-bulb memories." And they help generations define themselves. According to the Pew Center poll, people under age 50 are four times more likely than their elders to rate 9/11 as more serious than Pearl Harbor.
But people of all ages seem to feel close to their country. The USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll found that 69% of respondents describe Americans as united and in agreement about the most important values, roughly the same as 10 months ago.
Never in history have so many people simultaneously witnessed anything so shocking so immediately. Dec. 7, 1941, probably will go down as a more significant date. But, compared with video of jetliners crashing into the nation's largest office towers, photos of the sinking of the battleship USS Arizona have the graphic impact of cave drawings.
Americans still describe strong emotions when they think about Sept. 11: hope (84%), sadness (78%), anger (68%), vengeance (45%) and anxiety (31%).
Women appear to be slightly more affected by the attacks than men are. A third say they've changed how they lead their lives, compared with 19% of men; 83% profess strong sadness, compared with 72% of men; and 38% say they're less likely to fly, compared with 27% of men.
Northeasterners differ from other Americans in some, but not all, attitudes about Sept. 11. Two-thirds of the people interviewed in the Northeast think Americans have permanently changed the way they live, while only half of the people in the rest of the country think that.
But Northeasterners are no more likely to say that they personally have changed.
A shocking event is not necessarily a historic one. For example, Americans today would be surprised by the public grief in 1923 over the sudden death of President Warren Harding, a vigorous and popular man whose administration had not yet been tarred by revelations of scandal and incompetence.
The real legacy of Sept. 11 will become clear only in the years ahead. Whatever happens next — such as a U.S. attack on Iraq or another major terrorist strike — will determine whether 9/11 is a benchmark, like the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, or a footnote, like the Challenger explosion of 1986.
"What's really important about 9/11 is the forces it set in motion," Licklider says.
No one thinks Sept. 11 will be forgotten. But will it be remembered primarily as a sort of cautionary tale — like the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire of 1911 that killed 146 and led to building code reforms?
Possibly, historians say, if there are no more major terrorist attacks in this country. But another one now could mean dramatic changes and draconian security.
How did 9/11 change America? Wait and see.
"We now think we know what the Civil War meant," says Eric Foner, a Columbia University historian. "Come back in 50 years and ask about 9/11."
Chou En-lai, the Chinese Communist leader who died in 1976, was once asked what he thought about the French Revolution of the late 18th century.
His reply: "It's still too soon to tell."


New record from the punk rock legends. There’s no “I’m Stranded” here, but some great songs throughout. I’m guessing they are down to a trio again since Marty Willson-Piper of The Church has flown the coop after one release. Chris Bailey carries all the guitar parts quite well without him. Amazing how cohesive this sounds considering it was recorded in Amsterdam! “Other Side of the World” could be a radio hit if the radio didn’t just play shit all the time.

Laying out food pantries like grocery stores gives choice and can lead to healthy habits
Aunt Bette's food pantry at St. Philip's in South Dallas is set up like a grocery store to provide choices to hungry neighbors. This can create the kind of positive psychological environment conducive to healthy consumer habits, experts say.
A farmers market on wheels aims to combat southern Dallas ‘food deserts’
The idea formed a few years ago, when UNT Dallas biology professor Kelly Varga took her students to the Mill City neighborhood to help clean up a community farm. The woman who ran the farm told Varga she saw a need in her neighborhood for quality food and a healthy outlet for young people.

For the first time in half a century, the number of new diagnosed cases of human African trypanosomiasis -also known as sleeping sickness - has dropped below 10,000 thanks to partnerships with drug companies and improved screening, according to the UN World Health Organization (WHO).
The parasite, spread by infected tsetse flies mostly found in rural sub-Saharan Africa, can invade a person’s central nervous system and lead to psychiatric and sleep disorders, and if untreated, death. Because of under-reporting, estimates of the actual number of infections range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
|New treatment for sleeping sickness|
|Detecting stealth sleeping sickness|
|Dipstick diagnosis for under-reported diseases|

|Tsetse fly costs agriculture billions every year|
In 2009, there were 9,877 new reported cases compared with 17,600 in 2004 and 38,000 in 1998. “The historic drop in cases is the result of improved and persistent field activities and of active systematic screening,” Pere Simarro, head of WHO’s Human African Trypanosomiasis Programme, told IRIN. More health centres in 36 endemic sub-Saharan countries are diagnosing the disease.
Though 72 percent more people were tested from 2000-2009 than during the previous decade, scientists say lack of low-tech, rapid testing and safe drugs has prevented the elimination of the disease. The highest number of cases were reported in Democratic Republic of Congo (80 percent), followed by Central African Republic (11 percent).

7 Illegal Drugs with Surprising Curative Values
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, more than 72,000 Americans died in 2017 due to drug abuse. Party drugs are infamous for their history of abuse, but recent research confirms the therapeutic benefits of these drugs when consumed in small doses and under medical supervision.
Several states in the US have allowed the use of medical marijuana and a few other drugs that are used for recreational purposes, owing to their surprising health benefits. However, using these drugs without the advice of a medical professional can be fatal because of the health risks associated with their unregulated use.
Let’s dig into the medicinal benefits of some of the most commonly used drugs in the United States and find out how they can be harnessed for good.
1. Magic Mushrooms
Use: For treating depression and anxiety
Magic mushroom is believed to be a psychiatric wonder drug. Studies confirm that psilocybin in magic mushrooms “may effectively reset the activity of key brain circuits known to play a role in depression” and boost emotional responsiveness in the brain.
Psilocybin is a psychedelic hallucinogen that relieves patients from anxiety, especially those diagnosed with cancer. In one study, researchers found that when a small dose of psilocybin was given to cancer patients (along with psychotherapy), it helped them overcome anxiety and depression related to their disease and treatment.
Psilocybin, when consumed in a small quantity, can also cure chronic headaches and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Some people report losing their sense of self (ego) when high on magic mushrooms. A 2017 study confirmed that temporary loss of ego can be beneficial in the right context.
Side Effects: Weak muscles, impaired concentration, nausea and vomiting, paranoia and hallucinations.
Use: Treatment of traumatic anxiety and cancer
Also known as XTC or X, ecstasy is a synthetic compound that produces feelings of emotional warmth and high levels of energy. It releases large amounts of chemicals, serotonin and oxytocin in the brain, making the user feel relaxed and euphoric. These properties of the drug make it useful in treating post-traumatic stress disorder.
Research has found that ecstasy has potent anticancer properties, and is particularly useful in treating leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. In 2011, researchers from the University of Birmingham found that a slightly modified form of ecstasy was 100 times more potent at destroying cancer cells than Ecstasy in its original form. Though more research is required, this finding is a significant step towards developing a potential new cancer drug.
Ecstasy also allows anxiety patients to relive their experiences more easily while in therapy. The drug activates the area of the brain responsible for controlling fear and stress, and makes patients more receptive to psychotherapy. Over time, this results in long-term reduction of anxiety.
Side Effects: Nausea, chills, muscle cramping and blurred vision.
Use: As an anesthetic
In the US, any person caught possessing cocaine can be awarded a prison sentence of 5 – 40 years. However, in the medical world, it is used in low doses as an anaesthetic.
Benefits of cocaine are not limited to its anesthetic effects. It is also used for treating irritable bowel disease and other intestinal dysfunctions. The anesthetic property of cocaine also makes it useful in treating wounds. It immediately numbs the area where it is applied. Secondly, cocaine is a vasoconstrictor. That means it is highly effective at restricting bleeding or even stopping it altogether.
A topical solution of tetracaine, adrenaline and cocaine, also called TAC, is used by doctors to treat lacerations. It is used for healing wounds in children because it is less painful than injecting an anesthetic. Cocaine is the only drug that has properties of both, a vasoconstrictor and a sedative.
Side Effects: Heart attack, respiratory failure, stroke and seizure.
Use: As a painkiller
Years of scientific research has proved that cannabis can relieve chronic pain, prevent post-traumatic stress disorder, relieve pain for AIDS/HIV patients, control nausea, treat glaucoma, and improve symptoms of Crohn’s disease.
According to NORML (a marijuana advocacy group), 29 states in the US allow the use of medical marijuana in some form or another. In the states where the drug is legal, it is used to make products for relieving menstrual cramps.
Cannabis plants contain a compound called cannabidiol or CBD. CBD oil contains concentration of CBD and is known to have several health benefits like:
- Improving immunity
- Reducing inflammation
- Decreasing seizures
- Relieving muscle tension and stress
- Promoting mental health
- Protecting brain cells from damage and inflammation
- Preventing nausea and vomiting
- Regulating bowel movement
- Lowering heart rate and blood pressure
- Helping in treating cancer
Side Effects: Mood swings, insomnia, anxiety, hallucinations.
5. Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD)
Use: Helps in curing alcohol addiction
Lysergic acid diethylamide, usually known as LSD or acid, has potential for treating alcoholism, according to a study. The study found alcoholics who were given a small dose of LSD reported greater self-acceptance, awareness and motivation to address the problem of their addiction.
Over the years several studies have been conducted that suggest that the drug can prevent alcoholics from relapsing during treatment. These studies showed that people recovering from alcohol addiction are more likely to quit drinking if they are given a monitored dose of LSD. The drug made patients feel more confident, happy and satisfied with their lives.
Side Effects: Raises body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure, may cause “flashbacks” months after use.
Use: Treats depression
Ketamine, also known as “Special K,” is a party drug that takes users in a trance-like state known as a “K-hole.” A study involving depressed patients at the University of Illinois, Chicago found that patients with depression and suicidal tendencies felt better even in their most vulnerable state when they were given a controlled dose of the drug. According to the study, Ketamine allows chemical signals to pass effectively throughout the nervous system.
Side Effects: Causes visual hallucinations, vivid dreams, confusion and disorientation, increased salivation, and problems with heart rhythm, and breathing.
Use: As a painkiller
If abused, heroin can have long-term negative impacts on addicts and their families. However, the medical fraternity believes that when used judiciously, heroin can be extremely useful in subsiding chronic pain.
Studies have shown that medicinal heroin is more effective than morphine and reduces pain immediately. National Health Service (NHS) in Britain recommends a fixed dose of the drug to people who are in extreme pain.
Side Effects: Dry mouth, slow breathing, flushing of the skin, permanent brain damage.
There is a fine line between recreational drugs and doctor-approved drugs when it comes to deriving health benefits. When you self-medicate, you make yourself vulnerable to the potential risks of an overdose like drug dependence and substance abuse. Remember, if used correctly, these drugs can be life-saving, but when abused, they can ruin your life forever.

Dell Launches AMD Ryzen-Based Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 Convertible, Starts at $700
When AMD announced its Ryzen Mobile processors last October, it had three launch customers with three laptop models. Back in early March this year Dell joined the Ryzen Mobile party with its Inspiron 17 5000 and this month the company expanded its Zen-based offerings with its convertible Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 notebook.
Dell currently offers two models of the Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1, one based on AMD’s Ryzen 5 2500U with the Radeon Vega 8 iGPU, and the other on the more powerful Ryzen 7 2700U with the Radeon Vega 10 iGPU (see exact SKUs that Dell offers in the table below). The systems are equipped with 8 GB or 12 GB of DDR4-2400 memory (can be expanded to 16 GB in built-to-order configurations) as well as a 256 GB SSD, which is fairly standard for mainstream laptops nowadays. The notebook has a 13.3-inch IPS TrueLife-branded glossy LED-backlit touch display with brightness and viewing angles that is normally expected from mainstream IPS LCDs. The display lid features a wide viewing angle webcam with IR, so the machine supports facial recognition and Windows Hello.
I/O capabilities of the Ryzen-powered hybrid Inspiron 13 are the same for all models: a 802.11ac Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.2 module, a USB 3.0 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 headers, an HDMI output, a webcam, an SD-card reader, a microphone array, stereo speakers with the Waves MaxxAudio Pro enhancements, a TRRS audio connector, and a backlit keyboard.

Thanks for the information and the lyrics and chords!
The lyrics posted here must be a variation on the song on my tape (likely mine is more modern and yours more traditional). I went back and listened to the lyrics more carefully. They say:
To my little one's cradle in the night,
Comes a wee little goat, snowy white.
The goat will trot to the market,
While mother her watch will keep,
To bring you back rasins and almonds.
Sleep, my little one sleep.
I'd still like to know the name of the event that the gift of rasins and almonds is supposed to celebrate. None of my Jewish friends have heard of it (I don't know anyone Orthodox, though)

(CNN) -- A complicated love triangle is playing out on television.
This one isn't taking place on soap operas, but instead in commercials from AT&T and Verizon Wireless about Apple's iPhone.
AT&T will begin running a new ad on national TV during prime time Friday night, a spokesman said. The commercial shows a businessman using an iPhone and touts the ability to be on a call and search the Web simultaneously.
The company has posted the ad to YouTube, a video it's calling Answer.
This comes in response to the upcoming release of Verizon's iPhone 4 on Thursday. Some analysts say the largest U.S. network partnering with Apple could lure many defectors from AT&T, which was previously the exclusive carrier for the iPhone.
In interviews and on commercials, AT&T is defending the loss of iPhone exclusivity by boasting of competitive advantages, including talk-and-surf and international use. Apple and AT&T have previously run commercials focused on the former feature.
Verizon Wireless has already begun running ad campaigns to promote the new phone. The company began accepting preorders from current customers Thursday, and those supplies have already been exhausted.
The most recent ad features Verizon's glasses-wearing mascot answering an iPhone, saying, "Yes, I can hear you now." It's an overt play on criticisms of AT&T's network.
Meanwhile, Apple, ever the cordial and promiscuous lover, is running a commercial called Waltz, which shows the two carriers' phones side by side doing the same tasks. Apple's conclusion: "Two is better than one."

Family planning can be one of the most rewarding but difficult tasks to take on. First off, we’d just like to congratulate you on your new addition to the family and tell you that you’re on the right track to being more aware of your physical health.
Pregnancy is a time when women can be most in tune with their bodies and when health becomes a primary concern. While we’d argue that proper water filtration or purification is important at every stage of life, A newborn or pregnant woman requires an additional layer of protection to ensure a good outcome in the future.
It turns out that a lot of conventional cleaning methods, like chlorine and other chemicals that municipalities use to keep water safe, can actually be detrimental to pregnant women and newborns. But you’ve come to the right place after searching online for “water filtration system service near me.” Let’s discuss why these are considered contaminants and what you can do to prevent them from entering your home.
Chlorine and Other Chemicals
When water is cleaned using chlorine or other chemicals, there is a byproduct created called Trihalomethanes. These nasty-sounding substances are proven to cause issues for newborns, including cardiac defects, low birth weights, and even more serious concerns. The truth is that a lot of municipalities might use chlorine to clean water and make it more drinkable, but this could be detrimental to you and your family.
Luckily, a reverse-osmosis water purification or filtration system (which we can happily install for you) will filter out chlorine and other chemicals from your water, while still keeping it drinkable and safe. This essentially protects you and your new family, without any negative side-effects. Give us a call and let’s explore how our water filtration units can protect you and your newborn.
Biological Contaminants From Your Well
Most of the time, the danger in your water doesn’t come from your local municipality, but from the contaminants that could be lurking in your well water. Wells are natural bodies of water, after all, and contaminants like E. Coli could be lurking there ready to infect you and your newborn.
Don’t worry, UV water filters and reverse osmosis water filters are powerful enough to eliminate microorganisms from your water source. These systems are designed to give you water that’s drinkable, without the parasites or bacteria that could make you sick.
Microplastics and More
Don’t just stop at microorganisms, there could be pollutants in your water that still cause harm to you and your family, without infecting you. Children can have health complications from microplastics, including when ingested during pregnancy, which can lead to serious health complications.
Thankfully, our water filtration systems that were previously mentioned can easily filter out microplastics and other inorganic contaminants to keep your family safe.
Remember, we’re just here to help. Our team can install and maintain water filters and purifiers easily and affordably, from start to finish. All you need to do is give us a call and tell us how we can get started.
American Pump and Drilling can make your water safe. Contact us today!

Toyo will roll out "revolutionary" manufacturing process later this year
Toyo Tire & Rubber Co. Ltd., parent company of Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corp., will install a new passenger and light truck tire production process at its Sendai, Japan, factory during the first half of 2002.
The process will be implemented in other Toyo facilities on an ongoing basis, according to Toyo officials.
Toyo says the new system will improve the quality and productivity of its small lot manufacturing process.
It "also will result in lower inventories as small quantities can be produced more often."
Toyo declined to reveal further details.
The Toyo brand enjoys 1.5% of the United States replacement passenger tire market and 2.5% of the U.S. replacement light truck tire market, according to Modern Tire Dealer statistics.


Workplace culture at SDHB under microscope
A range of recent official and anecdotal reports have highlighted workplace culture issues at various Southern District Health Board sites. Health reporter Mike Houlahan asks if one of the region’s largest employers is one of the worst places to work.
This week Otago Daily Times readers learned of claims junior doctors had been “broken” by bullying, favouritism and humiliation during their time in Dunedin Hospital’s gastroenterology department.
The ODT followed up the article after hearing reader feedback – Toxic workplace claims ‘bang on’:
Claims the Southern District Health Board is a toxic workplace are “bang on”, staff who have contacted the Otago Daily Times say.
Health board employees were reacting to a report in Saturday’s Otago Daily Timeshighlighting several external reviews of the organisation which have raised staffing issues.
“Many staff are tired and exhausted but it’s a case of suck it up or leave,” one staff member said.
“It saddens me that the very institutions that seek to offer healthcare clearly demonstrate they don’t know how to care for or respect their workforce.
“There are pages of emails and concerns but everything gets swept under the carpet and employees are nearly having nervous breakdowns,” another staff member said.

Rebecca Soni beat Jessica Hardy to win the 100-meter breaststroke at the Speedo Grand Challenge, Hardy returned to win the 50 freestyle, and 40-year-old Janet Evans finished fourth in a consolation final of the 400 free on the meet's opening night Friday.
Soni and Hardy, who both train on the University of Southern California campus, dueled in a likely preview of next month's U.S. Olympic trials. Soni touched first in 1 minute, 6.57 seconds and Hardy settled for second at 1:06.81 after leading at the halfway point.
"We race all the time in practice, but it's good to come and race on the block with the crowd," Soni said after her lone event of the three-day meet. "It was a close race and I'm happy with it."
Hardy later won the 50 free in 25.11 seconds in one of the final tuneup meets before the U.S. swimming team is chosen at the trials in Omaha.
"I'm tired but I'm turning the corner now and I think recovering before trials," Hardy said. "I swam faster than I thought I would and that's exciting. It's definitely the most fun part of the whole quadrennial right now."
Evans was third most of the way in the 400 free 'A' consolation final before finishing fourth in 4:19.29, slower than her time in the morning preliminaries. She missed a spot in the four-woman final by 31-hundredths of a second after finishing fifth in prelims. Lynette Lim won the race in 4:17.22.
"It's weird how it's only for four. It would have nice to have been in there, but it was good," Evans said. "I'm tired and happy. I'm looking forward to my 800."
Evans believes the 800 represents her best chance to make a final at the trials. She was the first woman to win back-to-back Olympic titles in the longer event in 1988 and '92.
In the 400 free championship final, 2008 Olympian Kate Ziegler won in 4:10.36, while Evans' 18-year-old training partner, Megan Rankin, took second at 4:13.89.
In the men's 100 breaststroke, 2008 Olympian Eric Shanteau was first in 1:01.16. John Criste, who also trains at USC with Shanteau, was second at 1:01.66.
"One more time to race, that's all it really is," Shanteau said. "I'm already thinking about trials at this point."
Two-time Olympic breaststroke champion Kosuke Kitajima of Japan, was entered in the meet, but didn't swim and won't compete this weekend, according to Dave Salo, who coaches him at USC.
Ashley Delaney of Australia won the 200 free in 1:51.61, while 2008 Olympian Ricky Berens finished fourth in 1:55.69. Berens was more interested in posting a 100 split, so he took the race out quickly and finished the first half in 50.13 seconds before fading down the stretch.
"I'm still trying to race it right, but that was nowhere near what I wanted to do," Berens said about his split. "We've had a tough week of training, I'm pretty tired right now. This is my last meet until trials. The rest of the racing is all in practice now."
Only four swimmers make the finals at this meet as a way to get athletes to swim faster in the preliminaries. The swimmer with the fastest time going into the final spins a wheel to determine the prize money that goes to the winner.
Soni and Hardy each received $400 for their victories, while the other finals were worth $300 each to the winner. Second and third-place finishers receive nominal amounts.
"It's cool," Soni said. "I think all meets should have prize money.'

All About Adele's Weight Loss
Adele Weight Loss. There’s no denying that Adele is one of the most successful singers in the world. She has a powerful voice and her lyrics are incredibly moving. But what many people don’t know is that Adele has battled weight loss for years. In fact, she recently revealed that she’s lost so much weight that she now weighs less than she did when she was a teenager.
While some people may be happy with their smaller size, Adele says that she doesn’t feel like herself anymore. She recently cancelled her tour dates so that she can focus on gaining weight back. “I have to nourish my body correctly and get the weight back on so I can start touring again,” she said in a statement.
Adele is proof that it’s possible to lose weight and still be successful.

A tear in vacuumed packaging is irritating. But excess air in your body is dangerous.
A stab wound, say, can result in air leaking into the space between the lung and chest wall. If this air then presses on the lung, it can trigger a collapse.
Cue a research team from Calgary University in Canada, which has developed a device allowing air to be released from the lung quickly and safely.
Sensors in the screwdriver-like tool ensure it isn’t inserted too deeply, protecting organs from accidental damage.
The life-saving measure can be performed on the ground by a first-aider, taking the pressure off hospital emergency operators.
First prototypes will be manufactured in the coming months. A relief.

But there are worse things than watching golfers duff their shots.
As I write this, in the backyard of the neighboring house, two German Shepards howl and bark at the top of their lungs as they have for the past three days.
The poor dogs are lonely. They haven't been walked in days. The owners left for the weekend, leaving the dogs to be taken care of by a sitter who rarely shows. And so the dogs howl and bark at all hours. There is nowhere in the house you can go to get away from the howling. It penetrates every wall.
To sleep last night, I put in ear plugs. Today, in desperation, I bought a bag of treats. Two treats, I have found, buys fifteen minutes of silence.
I looked up constant barking on the internet, the source of all truth. The verdict was clear. Dogs do not naturally bark for hours on end. If they do, something is wrong.
Oh, the sheer vanity of some dog owners. The pets are there for them when they want them but when the owners want to leave, they don't care what the dogs do or how they feel. "Oh, Elsie loves to sit in her kennel for 10 hours a day!" I actually heard somebody say once, in response to a query about what a dog does when its owners are gone for work.
Yeah, right. What dog would love to be in a cage for 10 hours per day? How do you know she loves it?
For all you know, poor Elsie could be barking her head off the whole time!
But to the dog owners, maintaining the delusion that Elsie loves to spend 10 hours a day in a cage is necessary to maintain their vain belief that they are good, compassionate people. They are neither. City dog owners love the adoration the dogs heap on them when they are home, but ignore the fact that the very act of owning a dog in a big city and leaving it alone and confined 10 hours per day is inhumane and cruel.
Better than letting the dog be euthanized?
Dogs are companions by trade. And they need companionship. They need to be on a farm, where they can be part of the general busyness, or in a home where somebody is there nearly all the time.
Dogs are ideal for senior citizens who are confined. Dogs are ideal for nursing homes. Dogs are ideal for people with medical conditions requiring a service dog.
Dogs can be ideal for children.
But for busy people who are never home?
Keeping a dog just to be there when you need them for purposes of ego or fashion but which spends the great bulk of its waking hours alone and miserable is simply unkind.
Of course, I am writing while addled by lonely, barking German Shepherds next door.
I might just not be suited to living in close proximity with other human beings.
If it wasn't the dogs, it might be loud music. Or a loud car. Or the party in the back yard. Or the wind chimes. Or the pool-cleaning machine. With a cold stretch of weather down here in Arizona, heat pumps grind away throughout the neighborhood. They grind and groan as if this is the first heat they have produced in fifteen years.
The neighbor's heat pump is right outside the bedroom window. I am about to put a crowbar through it just to shut it up.
Then there's the golfers.
Thump! A golf ball hit the roof yesterday morning. The ball rolled out into the fenced-in back yard, in full view.
The guilty duffer and his buddies drove their carts right up to the back fence. I was fifteen feet away and could have easily opened the sliding door and tossed his ball over the fence. But curmudgeon that I am, I hid inside until he moved on. Then I ducked outside, grabbed the ball and added it to my collection on the hearth. The German Shepherds howled their approval.
Today, three duffers hit very nice tee shots onto the fairway right behind the house. When their carts approached, the German Shepherds started to howl. I walked into the back yard where I was fully visible.
As the duffers lined up their second shots thirty feet in front of me, I decided to not greet them, but just stare with my arms folded and the dogs howling.
All three muffed their shots. Badly.
As the cursing duffers disappeared down the ravine to find their balls, I ran in, grabbed four dog treats and threw them over the fence to the German Shepherds.
It was the canine equivalent of a high-five.

The PCFG Consortium is composed of a people studying or managing the Pacific Coast Feeding Group (PCFG) of gray whales. PCFG gray whales generally winter in the lagoons of Baja California and spend the summer and fall foraging along the NW Pacific coast of the United States and Canada, extending primarily between northern California and northern British Columbia (41° – 52° N, excluding the Puget Sound region).
The PCFG consortium was formed in 2020. Our vision is to foster and advance research through improved collaboration and communication among groups to further our scientific understanding of this feeding group and thus aid management through informed regulatory decisions.

Terrie S. (Terrie) reviewed The Blade and the Bath Miss (Harlequin Regency Romance, No 92) on
Lovely Emma Harding had had to leave London under the most distasteful circumstances after her debt-ridden father died. her return to Town was equally distressing-she was accosted by a reprobate at a roadside tavern. Then the marquis of Chadwick came to her rescue and the whole world seemed to brighten.
But Chadwick was thirty-eight, a man of the world, a rake and a gambler. How could he court nineteen-year-old Emma, a veritable Bath miss? There was only one thing to do. He must find her a suitable husband before his less than noble instincts gained the upper hand!

Social media. Some hate it, some love it. It is a love-hate relationship for many. But what if it could be used as a tool? A tool to sharpen the knowledge of others, a tool to erase the ignorance, a tool to engage needed support? A tool is a tool indeed.
Prior to my cancer diagnosis, I avoided social media with mixed feelings, only drawing out the negativity from it. As much as I wanted to open an account, I dismissed the idea several times.
Upon my cancer diagnosis, I quickly found myself on Facebook connecting with family and friends, posting weekly updates of my cancer journey. It was much easier than trying to keep up with handwritten l
etters, phone calls and personal visits.
Social media was also a way for me to research my rare placental cancer, choriocarcinoma. Even though my team explained very clearly how I contracted my cancer (complete twin molar pregnancy with surviving twin, a form of Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia Disease), I still wanted to connect with other survivors, current warriors, and dig as much medical information as I could. Everything was there before me (some with a little extra digging, like microfiche at the library). All except one thing: support.
Even in a mutual support group, the cancer, chemo and survivorship support just wasn't there. This is the great divide, even to this day, in the worlds of molar pregnancy and choriocarcinoma placental cancer. Before too long, I found myself using social media and taking leadership in this much needed division while searching for my own connections of support, all while lying in my hospital bed, getting my own life-saving chemo cocktail infusions.
Fast forward to today, nearly 3 years since my own diagnosis.
I have embarked this deep road of awareness, advocacy, and leadership --all using social media, extending further out to all the cancer world. I have told, retold, shared my personal cancer story, life after cancer and living with chemo side effects to the world. I have matched up hundreds of other women and their families dealing with this type of pregnancy disease and its cancer through my Facebook support groups and various social media. My advocacy has connected women from all over the world, literally, daily, even hourly to the minute. I have personally mentored so many as a great honour of survivorship and hope, some through philanthropist organizations. Many fundraisers I've held to help bring in funds for continued medical research and development of all types of Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia Disease (GTD).
Social media is to our great benefit when used in the first upmost positive matters. It connects others worldwide, making one small person in this big world feel not so small and alone. It can change one outlook from solemn to hopeful. It can push forward much needed support, education, and formality to the misunderstood and uninformed (medical) facts.
Despite our many diverse forms of cancer diagnoses, one thing remains the same for eternity: we are all human skin and blood and need one thing -- SUPPORT.

BLUEBERRY GLAZED PROTEIN DONUTS
I hope you don’t mind another donut recipe… but these Blueberry Glazed Protein Donuts are just too good to keep to myself! After making my Lemon Glazed Protein Donuts, I couldn’t stop craving them. So, naturally I made one of my absolute favorite donut flavors: blueberry glazed (high on the list with maple glazed and jelly donuts).
Did you know? Blueberries are high in antioxidants, helping neutralize free radicals that damage your DNA. (source)
These Blueberry Glazed Protein Donuts call for gluten-free baking flour, coconut flour, and LIV Body Lean Vegan Protein in Fruit Loops flavor. I have been loving this flavor! You can use my code SARAHWILKINS for free shipping on all Liv Body products. Any vegan protein powder should work in this recipe, but it will alter the taste and texture. I haven’t tested this recipe with whey, but in my experience, whey blends work much better than whey isolate.
If you don’t have protein powder, you can substitute half a cup of gluten-free baking flour (60 grams) and omit two tablespoons water. Feel free to also swap the coconut flour for twice as much gluten-free baking flour. Or, any of the following should work: all-purpose flour, cake flour, fine oat flour (oats blended into a flour), sweet white sorghum flour, white whole wheat flour, or cassava flour.
To sweeten the donuts themselves, I used my favorite organic stevia blend that’s twice as sweet as sugar with no bitter aftertaste! Feel free to substitute twice as much granulated monk fruit, granulated erythritol, or baking stevia.
For an irresistible moist texture, I added plain dairy-free yogurt and a little vegan buttery spread. Feel free to sub plain Greek yogurt or even unsweetened applesauce instead of the dairy-free yogurt, or coconut oil in place of the buttery spread! I used egg white in the pictured version, but you can totally substitute two flax eggs (two tablespoons of ground flax plus one-quarter cup warm water) or a vegan egg replacer 😉
For the vanilla glaze, I combined calorie-free powdered monk fruit sweetener, unsweetened almond milk, and vegan buttery spread. Powdered sugar will also work in place of the monk fruit, but adds about 40 calories and 10 grams of carbs per donut.
Here’s the printable recipe for these Blueberry Glazed Protein Donuts! I hope you’ll rate and comment below if you try them 🙂

Blueberry Glazed Protein Donuts (Dairy Free)
I hope you don’t mind another donut recipe… but these Blueberry Glazed Protein Donuts are just too good to keep to myself! After making my Lemon Glazed Protein Donuts, I couldn’t stop craving them. So, naturally I made one of my absolute favorite donut flavors: blueberry glazed (high on the list with maple glazed and jelly donuts). These donuts are gluten free, dairy free, and low in sugar!
1/2 cup (60g) vegan protein powder* (I used LIV Body in Fruit Loops flavor, code SARAHWILKINS for free shipping!)
- 1/4 cup (30g) gluten-free baking flour*
- 1/4 cup (30g) coconut flour*
1/4 cup calorie-free sweetener* (I used one that’s twice as sweet as sugar)
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt (optional)
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg (optional)
- 1/2 cup plain dairy-free yogurt*
1/4 cup egg whites* (or vegan egg replacer)
- 6 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. vegan butter,* melted (or coconut oil)
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1/2 cup calorie-free powdered sweetener* (I used powdered monk fruit sweetener)
- 2 tbsp. unsweetened almond milk
1 tbsp. vegan butter,* melted (or coconut oil)
1/8 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
*See blog post above for more substitutions.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Whisk together dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl (through nutmeg).
Add wet ingredients (through vegan butter) until a thick dough is formed.
Gently fold in blueberries without over-mixing.
Lightly spray the wells of a donut pan with cooking spray, then press dough into wells evenly (if you don’t have a donut pan, make six scones or giant cookies!).
Bake donuts in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
Let cool in pan while you combine ingredients for glaze. Dip each cooled donut into glaze and set on a wire rack or plate. Enjoy!
Leftover donuts will keep in an airtight container in the fridge up to one week, or in the freezer up to one month.

Development of 90-deg Differential Phase Shifters using Corrugated Waveguide Structure for KVN Dual-Circular Polarizers
Moon-Hee Chung, Do-Heung Je, Sooyeon Kim, and Seog-Tae Han
The dual-circular polarizer of KVN 86 GHz receiver consists of a 90-deg
differential phase shifter and an OMT(orthomode transducer).
The symmetric OMTs generally show wideband performance but narrow
bandwidth of the current phase shifter employing dielectric slab of KVN
86 GHz receiver limits broadband operation of the dual-circular polarizer.
For the purpose of widening the KVN 86 GHz receiverʼs observation
bandwidth, a 90-deg differential phase shifter with dual-depth corrugated
waveguide structure has been developed for 84~115 GHz band.
The simulation results showed more than 30 % bandwidth for axial ratio of
0.5 dB across the design frequency band. Before manufacturing the 90-deg
differential phase shifter for 84~115 GHz band, a Q-band scale model of
90-deg differential phase shifter has been fabricated using direct machining.
Measurement of Q-band differential phase shifter showed around 32 %
bandwidth for 90 ±3.3 deg corresponding to 0.5 dB axial ratio.
The measurement agrees well with the simulation result. In this presentation,
design and measured results of 90-deg differential phase shifters for KVN
receivers will be presented and further applications will be also discussed.


Three Tips for Tagging Automotive Parts with RAIN RFID
Join this presentation to learn how to leverage the RAIN RFID-tagged automotive parts specifically after the vehicle is out from the factory, for example, in parking, toll collection, service centers, etc.
On the other hand, what are the challenges related to tagged automotive parts? For example, a toll collection read point needs to differentiate the car license plates from all the other tags that pass by together with the car: bumper tags, four tagged tires, and seats with embedded tags, just to point out a few. This situation is called “tag flooding”. A toll collection point only has less than a hundred milliseconds to get the job done! Join the presentation to learn the solution for this challenge.
Juho is the co-founder of Voyantic and has 20 years of experience in RFID. Working currently as the Director of Business Development, he combines technical, business, and communication aspects to make RAIN technology easier to utilize across end-user industries. As a true believer in the RAIN technology, he has been driving strategic initiatives and industry collaboration in ISO, GS1, and the RAIN Alliance.

Daniel Mitov, Deputy Chairman of GERB, has expressed his readiness to assume the position of Acting Foreign Minister
WCC-DB and GERB Agreed: Government with the Second Mandate - For 18 months and with a Rotating Prime Minister
An hour before GERB-SDS returned a completed mandate to the president in the National Assembly, candidates for prime minister of GERB-SDS Mariya Gabriel and "We Continuing the Change-Democratic Bulgaria" Nikolay Denkov gave a briefing, at which it became clear that the first mandate will not be fulfilled, as the two political forces have reached an agreement on a cabinet.
"Now, when it is clear that it is very difficult, I would say impossible, to realize the first mandate with the support of 121 deputies, what we proposed to GERB-SDS is to use all this accumulated momentum. Let's step on the legislative program and of the management program, which still needs to be specified a bit, but it is a good basis. Let's also step on the composition, which can then be specified, given the new circumstances. We are looking for parliamentary support from GERB-SDS. It is important for us to get the agreement to these candidates...Mariya Gabriel's place in such a cabinet is completely clear. She is the person who can help to realize the most important priorities of our program - Schengen, the Eurozone, she has the support of our partners, and I don't know a better member of our parliament in the European institutions, who could help realize this priority," said Denkov.
"Since there were questions about how exactly we plan to implement the mandate, I will read what we discussed yesterday at the National Council of WCC:
'WCC-DB will propose a government that can implement constitutional reform with broad parliamentary and public support and fulfill all requirements and common priorities, including comprehensive judicial reform'.
As a guarantee that this government will work for at least 18 months with the support of the first political force, for the first 9 months the proposal is for me to be prime minister and Gabriel to be deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs. In the next 9 months, Gabriel will be prime minister, and I will be vice prime minister", Denkov also said.
Acad. Denkov pointed out that the government with the second mandate is committed to six main priorities:
- to implement a constitutional reform for changes in the structure of the prosecutor's office and the SJC;
- to submit a regular budget on time with up to 3% deficit while preserving social payments and without increasing taxes;
- to implement the legislative program and respect the priorities for Schengen and the Eurozone;
- to change the Electoral Code, so that the machine vote is returned, as well as to change the composition of the Central Election Committee, so as to guarantee the honesty of the vote of the Bulgarian citizens;
- to develop a mechanism for selecting a composition of regulators with an expired mandate, in order to select individuals with high professional and moral qualities;
- to introduce legislative changes to free the leadership of the Bulgarian security services from foreign influence.
Nikolay Denkov will resign in case of non-fulfillment or replacement of these priorities to the government.
The second mandate will be national, announced the candidate for prime minister from GERB-SDS Mariya Gabriel in the joint statement.
This is recorded in a declaration between GERB-SDS and WCC-DB, read by Gabriel.
She also thanked the leaders of GERB-SDS and WCC-DB, who in the last 48 hours "with reason, not with emotion" expected to receive support for today's document.
"His text shows how many concessions have been made by everyone in the name of one thing - Bulgaria to have a regular government," said Gabriel and added that she and Nikolay Denkov managed to draft the first joint document on which the two coalitions stand.
The declaration must get the support of the parliamentary groups and in the coming days they must be convinced that this is the right approach.

Reuters reports: Booker said he would also require the FBI and the Justice Department to allocate the same level of resources and attention to white supremacist-inspired violence as they devote to international terrorism.
The New Jersey senator announced his plan less than two weeks after a gunman in El Paso, Texas, killed 22 people inside a Walmart after posting an anti-immigrant screed online that echoed some of President Donald Trump’s heated rhetoric.
The attack was among three mass shootings in the span of a week that killed 34 people in all.
The incidents have roiled the presidential race, with Democrats accusing Trump, a Republican, of fomenting hatred while failing to embrace common-sense gun restrictions.
Several candidates, including Senator Kamala Harris on Wednesday, have released plans to fight gun violence and white supremacy in the days since the El Paso massacre.
