San Diego Facing A Child Care Crisis As Pandemic Decimates Finances Of Providers
Randy Lum was eagerly awaiting the opening of his son’s preschool at the beginning of July.
Ever since the March shutdown he and his wife, Abigail, had been engaged in the unenviable balancing act of working from home while caring for three-year-old Miles and his younger sister, Emilia. However, they felt they couldn't balance any longer, so Miles had to go back to preschool.
"But the closer it got, they said they were going to reopen, but then we were a couple days away and didn't hear anything," Lum said.
Then the email arrived. It had a short statement saying the school wouldn't be able to open as expected in July. They were told to check back in September.
Lum’s predicament could become reality for many parents. KPBS in recent weeks has talked to 10 different childcare operators throughout San Diego County and all said their businesses have been decimated during the pandemic, even those that stayed open continuously. Seven said they are in danger of going out of business permanently.
The county had a significant shortage of childcare spots before the pandemic. Now, many are worried that a full-blown childcare crisis is unfolding that could sink a local economy already depressed by the coronavirus.
Elected leaders are sounding alarms and calling for millions in relief funds for the industry. But it is far from certain at this point whether a national or local bailout package will be enough and if it will come in time. If there is any solace to be taken locally, it’s that the situation here is also playing out nationwide.
"The current moment looks bad, but the long term looks dire," said Alicia Sasser Modestino, an associate professor in economics at Northeastern University. She recently conducted a survey of 2,500 working parents about their childcare during the pandemic and plans to publish the results soon.
Even though schools closed in March and districts are now delaying reopening in the fall, some daycares and preschools have stayed open throughout the pandemic. But social distancing requirements caused class sizes to be cut in half. Also, groups had to remain stable, with no mixing of teachers and students.
From a public health perspective, the restrictions have proved successful. While there have been significant local outbreaks traced back to nursing homes, bars and restaurants, so far only one has originated from a childcare center, according to county data.
But, owners said, they’ve had drastic impacts on their bottom lines.
"My hourly wages and salaries for staff, my rent, any operating expenses are made to sustain full time enrollment," said Holly Weber, the owner of Magic Hours Preschool in Mira Mesa. "Now I'm at a third income, but my operating expenses haven't changed, my salaries and expenses are the same, so I'm at a two-thirds deficit."
Sally Chenoweth, the owner of Discovery Preschools, Inc., in Oceanside, said the new reality means childcare centers are full without really being full.
"Right now, based on the restrictions for how many kids we can have in the building, we're bringing in about 60% of what we normally do but our costs exceed that,” Chenoweth said.
Because daycares and preschools operate under very slim margins, these restrictions, along with short-term closures, are difficult to recover from, Sasser Modestino said. Economists are now estimating that $50 billion will need to be spent nationwide to support and sustain the childcare industry over the next six months.
"So there's something to come back to when we need it," she said.
If half of the country's daycares and preschools go out of business, 450,000 childcare slots could be lost, she said. This is particularly sobering given that before the pandemic, there were potentially twice as many children in San Diego County who needed care as available spots.
In her survey, Sasser Modestino found that 13% of working parents reported losing a job or reducing hours as a direct result of a lack of childcare. And, she said, 60% of those who lost a job were women, and the reduction in work hours disproportionately impacted women without a college degree, or who were lower income, or who were Black or Hispanic.
"All parents are dealing with a paradox," Sasser Modestino said. "If they are working from home, they are grateful to have a job and have that flexibility, but at the same time they are drowning in how hard this is to juggle."
So far, San Diego County has spent $5 million on vouchers for essential workers, but that money does not help schools stay open, said Chenoweth, the owner of Discovery Preschools.
"All that does is replace what a parent would have already paid us, so it doesn't give us any extra money," she said.
Instead, the county is now looking to spend an extra $25 million in federal CARES funds on grants for existing schools to help them make up some of the loss. County staff are currently working on a proposal, including how big the grants will be and how schools can apply, and will present it to the Board of Supervisors for approval on August 4.
More than 600 childcare centers in San Diego County closed temporarily during the early days of the pandemic, said County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher.
"Many of them are going to need significant help in accommodating the changes in the number of kids, in accommodating the changes in the safety protocols and procedures," he said at a July 7 supervisors meeting. "So if our staff could come up with a holistic plan, a regional plan that could strategically help this industry get up and running in a safe and responsible way, that would be appropriate."
The state and county have also begun to loosen restrictions on how childcare centers operate. Previously, the county and state rules on class sizes clashed, creating confusion and miscommunication that frustrated providers.
In mid-June, the county changed its public health order to say that childcare providers should refer to the state for guidance, and then the state changed its rules into guidelines. Now, the state says only that "children should remain in groups as small as possible" and "it is important to keep the same children and teacher or staff with each group...to the greatest extent possible."
Several of the owners surveyed by KPBS said the loosening of the rules mean they will increase their class sizes to 12 and have a "floater" teacher who goes between groups when necessary to give other teachers breaks—a requirement under labor laws.
Chenoweth, the owner of Discovery Preschools, Inc., said those changes would help, but still would not bring her business's balance book back into the black.
She and other preschool owners who spoke to KPBS also said that raising tuition fees would not solve their financial problems because there is only so much parents can afford to pay.
"We'd all have to double our rates, and that's not going to work," she said.
Lum, who is still looking for a preschool for his son, said he could stomach a small tuition increase.
"The dentist now has a $20 PPE upcharge, and if people want to be properly guarded, they have to pay that fee," he said. "The teacher to student ratio is more challenging, and with more challenges comes more expense."
But there would be a limit.
"If it went above $1,500 a month, we're not going to be able to do it," he said.

Worldwide, the number of unemployed people rose by 5 million in 2013 to 202 million, according to the International Labor Organization’s Global Employment Trends report. The global unemployment ratio of youth to adults has reached a new high. The jobless rate for 15- to 24-year-olds hit 13.1 percent in 2013 (or 74.5 million), nearly three times the adult rate.
The organization predicts unemployment will worsen, with 215 million jobless by 2018. Roughly 40 million net jobs will be added each year, the ILO estimates, but that won’t be enough to absorb the 42.6 million people expected to enter the labor force each year.
East and South Asia contributed the most (45 percent) to the rise in the number of the globally unemployed. On the other side of the world, Latin America, by contrast, contributed only 1 percent to the increase in the unemployed, fewer than 50,000 additional jobless people.
The report takes note of a trend we’ve long explored in U.S. unemployment — the duration of unemployment is lengthening and the number of long-term unemployed is growing. In response, labor market participation has slipped as discouraged workers cease looking for jobs.

A new school year begins Aug. 31 in Vancouver Public Schools, and incoming Hazel Dell Elementary kindergartner Gavin Bethell can’t wait.
The first day of school also has an alternative name for Bethell — Bus Day.
“I’m excited to go on a school bus,” the 5-year-old said, “because I’ve never been on one before.”
New experiences from new students are a sign of new hope for Clark County’s school districts. They’re bracing for what they hope is an enrollment rebound after districts saw declines in enrollment in 2020-21 because of COVID-19 concerns, particularly among the youngest learners.
And for the past two weeks, some kindergartners — such as Gavin — got a head start on school. Approximately 900 students across Vancouver Public Schools wrapped up the district’s Jump Start, a two-week program for incoming kindergartners to learn the rules and routines of their new school.
But it remains uncertain just how big kindergarten classes will be. Parents sometimes opt to delay or “redshirt” their children who would be young for their kindergarten class to gain another year of developmental readiness for a classroom setting. Kindergarten is not required in Washington, and the cut-off age to enroll students into kindergarten is 5 by Aug. 31. But last school year, more families held off enrolling their would-be kindergartners — regardless of where they fell on the age cut-off timeline — because of disruptions caused by COVID-19.
At Hazel Dell, forecasted enrollment is 330 in grades K-5, including 43 kindergartners registered as of last week. Second-year principal Lisa Reed is hopeful that number bumps up slightly; she said about 20 percent of the kindergarten class is enrolled by their families the final week of summer.
Hazel Dell has boosted the number of kindergarten teachers to four. Teacher Chelsea Hendryx said she’s seen varying levels of readiness among her incoming kindergarten students from those with zero school experience to some who began kindergarten last year, then withdrew to start fresh this fall.
“It’s pretty widespread,” Hendryx said. … “We are picturing, age-wise, a big variety.”
Attract, retain families
By October of last year, the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction reported a 2.82 percent decrease in enrollment statewide, driven by kindergarten numbers that plummeted by 14 percent.
Clark County districts weren’t spared, but all are now forecasting higher enrollment numbers this fall, in spite of rising COVID cases with the emergence of the highly contagious delta variant.
Evergreen superintendent Mike Merlino said recently he believes full-time in-person instruction required by all districts will be the difference-maker for families who might have sought after charter, private or other alternative school choices. Evergreen was the lone district in Clark County to stick to twice-a-week in-person instruction when neighboring districts expanded to four and five days a week.
“Having kids back five days a week is going to be a significant thing,” Merlino said.
There are early signs enrollment may not fully rebound to pre-pandemic levels. The budgeted enrollment numbers for the region’s three largest districts, Evergreen, Vancouver and Battle Ground, are higher than actual enrollment in 2020-21, but still below figures from 2019-20. Ridgefield, however, is projecting 3,560 students in 2021-22 — an increase from its enrollment the past two years (3,326 total students in 2020-21; 3,406 in 2019-20).
Funding is tied to per-pupil enrollment, and schools that lose students could see cuts. Pandemic relief money is helping district budgets in the interim.
Washougal schools are budgeting for 2,992 students this school year. It concluded last year with 2,778 students — about 250 fewer students than in 2019-20, according to the district.
Superintendent Mary Templeton isn’t changing the script on how to attract or retain families in the district she’s led since 2018. Her pitch to families is how the district is “the best game in town” and this year, it’s highlighted by new programs such as its dual-language immersion and the expanded Washougal Learning Academy for families seeking more flexibility.
Her words come from the heart, Templeton said.
“We’re learning a lot through this pandemic,” the superintendent said. “We’re approaching the challenge as an opportunity to invent schools in a different way. The pandemic really forced us to stop the wheel for a second and connect with parents to ask them intentionally, ‘What are you looking for?’ and ‘What do you need?’ and it also gave us the time and the resources to create systems and programs we think are a lot more family friendly and a lot more flexible.
“We’re adamant our children are going to be successful and are willing to do the hard work and heavy lifting in order to make that happen.”

Information on Jonas Friend
- •Name: Jonas Friend
- •Sex: M
- •Birth: Abt 1730
- •Death: 15 Nov 1807 in Friend's Fort, Randolph County, (West) Virginia
From "JONAS FRIEND AND FRIEND'S FORT", by Warren Skidmore
Jonas Friend, one of the earliest settlers in both Pendleton and Randolph Counties, was of Swedish descent. His grandfather, Anders Nilsson Frande, was born about 1659 at Upland, Delaware (then Chester) County, Pennsylvania, and died about 1740 near Harper's Ferry. (l) His father Israel Friend, who was born at Upland by 1693, started to mine iron ore in 1734 on a tract of land on the Potomac River about two miles north of Harper's Ferry in what is now Jefferson County, West Virginia. He may have had a furnace in Virginia for smelting the ore, or taken it across the Potomac to his mill on Antietam Creek in Maryland where there was a furnace later. (2) He is spoken of as a Friend (Quaker) in this period. (3) Benjamin Winslow's "Plan of the Upper Part of Patomack River called Cohongorooto, surveyed in the year 1736" shows the Friends living in that year west of the Potomac four miles south of the mouth of Undietum Creek. (4) If the mill was not Jonas Friend's place of birth it may be taken as certain that he spent his childhood there.
His father-in-law Joseph Skidmore, who had come to western Maryland by 1742 from Murderkill Hundred in Kent County, Delaware, lived no great distance away. He had formally acquired title to a plantation called Monican from Cornelius O'Neale on 11 June 1748 for £50 preparatory to moving to Virginia, but had probably lived there much earlier. Moni can is described as being at the head of the Little Antieta m. (5)
Jonas Friend went with the Skidmores to what is now Pendleton County perhaps at the time of his father-in-law's second trip south through the gap at Harper's Ferry. (6) He and Sarah Skidmore had married before 9 September 1754 when they returned a deed to Winchester selling 66 1/2 acres to Simeon Rice for £100. This was his share of the 300 acres that he and his two brothers had inherited from their father Israel Friend near Shepherdstown in Jefferson County. (7) In this deed Jonas and Sarah Friend are called "late of Frederick County in the colony of Virginia but now of August a County." Their eldest child, a son Joseph, was born probably in 1755 or soon after and named for his grandfather Skidmore. (8)

Ladies, gentlemen, and multi-dimensional beings please bow down to your new overlords at Owlchemy Labs because they’ve done it. They’ve actually done it. They’ve captured the crazy, awesome, often-inappropriate fun of Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty and some how made it into a VR game.
Now, granted, the game isn’t available yet. But it already looks awesome. Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality was announced just a few weeks ago and that brief gameplay video above alone had us ready for more.
Fans who happened to be at San Diego Comic-Con this year were able to get their first hands-on look at the game at the Adult Swim On The Green off-site. We were among those lucky fans and I just have one thing to say: it was amazing.
Okay, I have more than just that one thing to say. But the most important thing that you all need to know is that this game was amazing and if I ever needed convincing that VR was the future of gaming this was all the proof I needed.
The Rick and Morty VR game utilizes the HTC Vive virtual reality hardware complete with headset and two handheld controllers. In the five minute demo we played, I took on the role of an incomplete Morty clone – basically just a head and two hands which mirrored the actions of the controllers. I was brought to life to do some simple tasks for Rick and the real Morty and well… I’m not going to lie to you guys, I was a pretty shitty Morty clone.
I maybe got obliterated. (But I got to come back! So it’s fine.)
Thankfully the learning curve wasn’t too steep and soon I was able to explore Rick’s garage and everything it had to offer. From doing laundry to controlling You-Seeks (a variant on the beloved Me-Seeks) to jumping through portals, this game had it all.
Everything that we love about Rick and Morty somehow ported perfectly. The dialogue was great (the insults were spot-on) and the interactive elements were excellent. Using the handheld controls you were able to pick things up, interact with them, throw them, bang them, and generally do whatever you could think of – within reason.
Beyond reason, you were also confined by certain space perimeters. But don’t worry – that was easily worked around. Virtual reality tends to require you to move around but you can only go so far. The game set up that perimeter and then let you jump from area to area in the garage to interact with different things.
In the end, you even get to jump through a portal!
Five minutes wasn’t nearly enough time to explore everything the demo had to offer. I could have spent ten times that just messing around in Rick’s garage, playing with things, and being constantly berated by Rick.
It was hands down my favorite VR experience of the convention. While there were a lot of VR experiences at SDCC this year, very few of them offered this sort of interactivity. You actually got to control your own actions and guide the story and gameplay.
Plus none of the other VR experiences had Rick.
People lined up for hours to play this demo in the sweltering heat. I’m not exaggerating when I say hours either. The line for this VR experience was capped at two hours since they didn’t want people to wait longer than that because they would have. The demo alone was more than worth the wait so you have to imagine that the final game – whenever it launches – will be just as great.
Check out the Owlchemy Labs website and add them on social media to keep up with any and all news about what’s up next for Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality!

Last Night Sen. John Kerry appeared on BET’s Speak NowSpecial. The 20 minute interview hosted by Senior ContributingCorrespondent Ed Gordon, allowed Kerry to deliver his plans toaddress pertinent issues faced by African Americans.
In the opening, Gordon touched onthe issue of Foreign Policy, citing a comment that Kerry once said” Wrong War, Wrong Place, Wrong Time” and Kerryclarified himself saying President Bush shifted his focus fromOsama Bin Laden and Afghanistan to Iraq a country he claimed had noinvolvement in the war on terror. Appearing emotional about theissue, he expressed his deep-rooted opposition to PresidentBush’s position on the war in Iraq. Hedescribed it as “an irresponsible, mismanagement of foreignpolicy.”
Kerry continued to explain that PresidentBush’s refusal to work coherently with United Nations as wellas allies is one cause of the severity of America‘s international strife.
The senator proposed the majordifference between himself and Bush lies in his strategic plan forsuccess, something that Bush promised, but has yet to display.Kerry’s plan involves cleaning the mess that was made inregards to the war in Iraq,creating jobs to boost the American economy and health care foreveryone, especially children. He also proposed his vision ofAccess for African Americans.
At times Kerry appeared shaky inanswering questions posed by Ed Gordon who failed to settle for thetypical patriotic answer.
In one segment Ed Gordon madelight that BET’s viewers are comprised of young adults whoare becoming more involved with the upcoming election due tocelebrity influences like P. Diddy and Drew Barrymore.
He also brought up the skepticismthat some young people have about the candidates and politics as awhole. However, the turning point of the interview came when heasked Kerry what he will do for Black people.
Kerry then promised that if he waselected his administration will “reflect the face of Americanvalues.” He announced his awareness of Black issues, thingshe’s done in the past to alleviate them and his plans forchange in the future.
“I want young people to knowthat they really can make a difference” While he does notblame African Americans for their skepticism about the elections,particularly those in Florida, he assures the African Americanpopulation that he is taking measures to make sure the 2000elections do not repeat itself.
He assured that his experience aslead prosecutor in the 1970s allowed him to work with Black peopleand also claimed that he practiced, supported, and voted forAffirmative Action and he wants to see its continuance. Hisexperience as a senator has also allowed him to work with prominentBlack figures such as Elijah Cummings, Head of the CongressionalBlack Caucus and Jessie Jackson, who now serves as Senior Advisorto his campaign.
Urging Blacks to flock to thepolls on November 2nd he said “We must beat themin numbers. People have marched, fought and died to vote and Irefuse to see one million black voters disenfranchised.”
With sincerity in his eyes and a plea in hisvoice Kerry tried to convince viewers that he is their ticket tosocial, economic, and political change. He promised continuedsupport for Affirmative Action, increased jobs for AfricanAmericans, new healthcare programs, and even more revenues topreserve Historically Black Colleges and Universities(HBCUs).
“I want to make a differencein the world and at home.”


Pogs, body glitter, Tamagotchis… Three 90s gems which, fortunately, are not making a comeback. There are three 90s TV shows, however, that are set to make a comeback in a big way!
It’s a risky business, bringing back legendary shows from childhood – what if the remake isn’t a patch on the original? There have been many that tried and failed but hopefully these three witchy 90s shows will live up to expectations! Watching in the south-west? TV aerial installation Bristol can make sure you’re ready to binge watch these supernatural classics.
Sabrina The Teenage Witch
It’s been too long since we heard from Salem, Sabrina’s sarcastic, talking black cat. With her fun aunts, adorable boyfriend and ability to point a finger and get whatever she wanted, Sabrina was the envy of every adolescent girl. The original Sabrina was bright, upbeat and delightfully quirky, it seems that the new version will be a little darker. Under the new title, ‘Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina’, it will still be a coming-of-age tale, but with the bonus of delving deeper into the occult.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
This ass-kicking teen had a double life, dealing with the usual angst-ridden school and relationship problems, while killing off evil monsters in their droves. The show even had a lesbian love storyline, which was one of the first times a TV series had explored this new territory. Buffy had (still has) a cult following, so fingers crossed they’re happy with this new series. Although it hasn’t even been written yet, the Buffy reboot is actually a sequel, not a remake.
Three sisters in a powerful coven with supernatural powers, saving innocent lives from evil beings… What’s not to like? There has been some controversy around the remake, starting this October, with original cast members and the new Latina trio of leading ladies being compared and judged already. Twitter has blown up with fans and stars making sure their opinions cannot be ignored. Let’s hope the sparks fly just as much in this remake!
You’re going to want to watch the new spin on these occult telly highlights, so make sure your TV is ready for them, with TV aerial installation Bristol – TV Aerial Installation Bristol.
Three well-loved shows; three modern remakes. Let the nostalgic binge watching commence!a

Sunday’s Pentaport Stage opened with a beautiful performance by Peterpan Complex. Jihan Jeon connected immediately with the crowd with his creative dancing. This proved to be especially true during “First Love” as he struck the pose of the accompanying video playing on the big screens and danced his way through the haunting melody.
Over on the Dream Stage, Janabi ended their set with a powerful cover of “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes. Fromm followed and was met with a small number of spectators because of scheduling delays on the Pentaport Stage. But that didn’t stop her from delivering a solid set of soulful alternative pop rock as more people slowly began to arrive. Backed by a full band, the singer-songwriter’s melodies carried well through the hangar-style Dream Stage area.
Japanese band Spyair’s energetic performance on the Pentaport Stage was a definite highlight of the day. The guitarists had blocks up at the front of the stage upon which they climbed atop of to shred, much to the crowd’s delight. Vocalist Ike ran all over the stage and out in the lanes set up through the audience allowing him to better connect with all in attendance. He was very appreciative of the crowd and clearly impressed. And speaking a few phrases in Korean definitely helped further endear him to everyone.
The Koxx was up next on the Pentaport Stage and sounded great on tracks like “Oriental Girl” and “Trouble Maker.” Frontman Hyunsong Lee’s played with fantastic energy and the audience loved the streamers that exploded from the stage towards the end of their set.
Two Door Cinema Club kept the good times going on the Pentaport Stage by opening with a pair of fan favorites from 2010’s “Tourist History,” “Cigarettes in the Theatre” and “Undercover Martyn.” The band graciously limited lesser known new tracks from their upcoming “Gameshow” album to just a few in the middle, leaving plenty of room for the older tracks people were more familiar with. Overall, the simple stage setup of large digital displays rounding out the back of the band and well constructed set left the audience energized and happy.
British act The Vaccines were tasked with closing out the Dream Stage. Lead singer Justin Young shed his guitar and gestated emotionally with wild eyes throughout “Wetsuit” from 2011’s “What Did You Expect from The Vaccines?” His stage presence throughout the show was strong but met with mixed reactions from the crowd due largely to his intensity and seriousness. Perhaps not to everyone’s taste, The Vaccines still turned in a moving set with enigmatic vocals and lots of raw energy.
Pentaport Stage headliners Panic! at the Disco started things off with “Don’t Threaten Me with a Good Time” from their latest album, “Death of a Bachelor,” before launching into the well-received “Vegas Lights” off of 2013’s “Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!” Vocalist Brendon Urie was very thankful throughout the concert and told everyone how he had been trying to come to Korea for 11 years. Finally receiving his wish, he and his backing players wowed all with an excellent cover of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” which was delivered with great passion, and to their credit, only a few notes were a touch off. More covers surfaced later with a playful medley of Journey’s “Any Way You Want It” and AC/DC’s “You Shook Me All Night Long” before Panic! at the Disco wrapped things up with their biggest hit, “Victorious.”
Those who caught the last shuttle buses for the night had the chance to enjoy local heroes Love X Stereo on the Cass Blue Stage before leaving. Anchored by Annie Ko’s powerful vocals, the Seoul band sounded fantastic. They even brought in Hongdae drummer extraordinaire JD Lee to work the computer and add some drums and then were joined by Rock ‘N’ Roll Radio’s Jinkyu Kim on guitar towards the end of their set. It was an awesome way to end a great weekend of music out in Incheon!

On 3 September 2019, Qatar revealed the Official Emblem of the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ at 20:22 (8:30 pm Qatar) around the world.
The emblem’s design embodies the vision of an event that connects and engages the entire world, while also featuring striking elements of local and regional Arab culture and allusions to the beautiful game.
The swooping curves of the emblem represent the dovelike movement of Qatar’s desert dunes and the unbroken loop depicts both the number eight – a reminder of the eight astonishing stadiums that will host matches – and the infinity symbol, reflecting the interconnected nature of the event. In addition to echoing the shape of the iconic FIFA World Cup Trophy, the emblem’s central form takes inspiration from a traditional woollen shawl. During winter months, shawls are worn around the world and in the Arab and Gulf region in particular in various styles.
The intricate embroidered detail that often adorns shawls in the Arab world is featured and takes inspiration from various cultures across Asia, celebrating the continent’s second hosting of a FIFA World Cup™ tournament and Qatar’s diverse population. The regionally inspired winter garment also alludes to the tournament’s start dates and the fact that it will be the first FIFA World Cup™ to be played in November and December.
The new typeface created to accompany the emblem reimagines traditional Arabic calligraphy in a new, contemporary font, taking inspiration from the region and Asia, and fusing tradition with modernity.
The FIFA World Cup™ emblems
Taking place every four years, the FIFA World Cup™ is the most awaited and popular sporting championship in the world, watched by millions globally. It has been hosted in 17 countries thus far in Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and South America. The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ is the first time the international world championship will be held in the Middle East. A few countries including Brazil, Italy, France and Germany have hosted the FIFA World Cup™ twice.
The first FIFA World Cup™ took place in Uruguay in July in 1930. FIFA chose Uruguay as the hosting nation because the South American country completed 100 years of its first constitution and also because the national football team of the country won the title at the 1928 Summer Olympics. The most recent FIFA World Cup™ took place in Russia in June 2018.
Have a look at the 21 FIFA World Cup™ emblems from 1930 to 2018:

This was your third trip to Chile, what was the purpose of it?
This trip was an important one since for the first time in Chilean history and possibly in Latin America; the local Muslim communities were able to have an iftar ceremony under the sponsorship of a head of state. Chilean Muslims were invited at the presidential palace La Moneda, by the country president Michelle Bachelet.
Representatives of the country’s Muslim communities, guests and visiting scholars such as Sheikh Faisal, Sheikh Ghassan and I were invited. Regrettably Sheikh Ghassan, head of the Shi’a Islamic Centre, had to cancel due to the death of his father in Lebanon.
There were Sunni, Shi’a and Sufi Muslims. People as far afield as Iquique in the north of Chile attended the function. Iftar started with the Maghreb azan (evening call to prayer), prayers and meal in presence of the president. We thought she will come quickly and go, but she remained with the guests throughout the evening.
The President was the first to address the invitees. In her talk, she mentioned that this would not be the last time that an iftar would be arranged in the palace and that she intended to establish it as a continuing tradition.
During the dinner the Shi’a Muslim community presented her with a gift on behalf of all the Muslims – a Persian handcrafted vase and a miniature art work which I personally brought from London. She was very appreciative of it.
At a later date we also had an opportunity to invite government officials to the Shi’a Islamic Centre of Chile in the Las Condes area of Santiago.
Among the attendees of this official iftar were representatives of the Orthodox Church, Iraqi, Iranian, Syrian and Saudi ambassadors, university professors as well as the personal representative of the Chilean president for religious affairs.
I was very fortunate to meet the distinguished guest Ignacio Sanchez, head of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, who was very pleased to have attended the iftar and later facilitated my visit to ten universities across the country where I gave lectures and talks.
You also attended the Al-Quds Day. Tell us about it?
In Chile Muslims do not have Al-Quds Day in the streets so Shi’a Muslims have been organising Al Quds Day at the centre by inviting officials and ambassadors from Muslim and non-Muslim countries.
We were pleased to see the Palestinian ambassador and some members of the Palestinian Club. This club is a very influential organisation in Santiago. I briefly explained how this day came about, and gave a short history of Al-Quds and its importance for Muslims. I also underlined the position of this city and how it belongs to all monotheistic religions and not a single tribe or ethnic group. The significant part of this commemoration came when the Palestinian officials acknowledged and thanked the late Imam Khomeini for initiating such a day.
I was then invited to the Palestinian Club for an iftar and seated next to the mother of the Chilean President, Mrs Angela Margarita Jeria Gomez. She was ex-Executive Director of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women (2010-2013). Among the guests there were some military officials and also the ambassador of Vatican in Chile, Mons. Ivo Scapolo. The ambassador also personally praised Imam Khomeini’s initiative in establishing Al Quds Day which was a touching gesture.
Have you had any discussion with the Vatican Ambassador?
I was invited to visit the Vatican embassy in Santiago and the ambassador. I had a long discussion with Ambassador Scapolo about Islam, the differences between Shi’a and Sunni schools of thought, etc. He was interested to get further clarification on who are the terrorists and who is behind Daesh (ISIS) and other related topics.
In my short stay I was fortunate to have several meetings such as this. After Ramadan, I also had a meeting with the archbishop of Santiago de Chile, Cardinal Ricardo Ezzati Andrello. The cardinal had previously met the two Muslim Shi’a representatives, but in a less formal setting. In this occasion media were also present as well as other delegates. We were all warmly received but in an official way. The archbishop was very friendly and very welcoming, and open to dialogue. He explained that in accordance with the directive of Pope Francis, this year was named The Year of Hope and Mercy. He believed that our presence in Santiago provided a great opportunity for further dialogue and meetings. In this same meeting one of the bishops, in the presence of the archbishop, expressed the view, based on his research, that Saudi Arabia was behind the support for Daesh/Isis and their activities to which the archbishop appeared to agree. I also visited a left-wing University in Santiago in completely different setting.
Can you tell us more about this visit?
My last meeting was at the University of Art & Social Sciences in Santiago where I was invited by chair Edward W. Said to be the member of a panel discussion on ‘Islam and geopolitical imperialism’ co-sponsored by the Centre for Islamic Culture in collaboration with the Chilean Committee for Solidarity with Palestine.
I was not asked to talk about religion, but I explained that as a minister of the religion, I could speak about social justice through the teachings of the Qur’an, Prophet Muhammad(s), Imam Ali(a) and the practices of the Ahl-ul-Bait(a).
The University is privately founded and currently has around 1000 students of which around 700 are from the deprived countries of Latin America. I spoke to some professors who had left their jobs at places such as Preston, Berkley and Harvard to be part of this university.
Being mostly from a leftist/communist background some of the professors were not interested in discussing religion or acknowledging its importance, but I told them that insisting on not having a religion on its own is a religion. The session was followed by many good questions and answers. After my talks one of the former professors from Berkeley University told me he had discovered that he was a Muslim because Islamic principles on social justice did not contradict his way of thinking.
When I arrived there I did not shake hands with ladies and perceived that somehow, they got offended but once the ice was broken the same ladies were keen to talk to me and learn more about Islam. My talks were very short but the Q&A section was quite long, mostly with the academic staff and some politically left-leaning students who made an effort to pop in briefly and ask interesting questions.
What is planned for the future?
Just before coming back, I visited the Muslim graveyard. Unfortunately some Sunni Muslims are objecting to the burial of Shi’a Muslims in the Muslim allotment and this has created a big problem and a major concern for us. When I was there a Shi’a Muslim passed away and because of their rejection the body was buried in a Christian graveyard, with a Christian ceremony. That encouraged me to arrange a meeting with the officials of the graveyard and explain the Shi’a Muslims’ requirement. Fortunately they have agreed to allocate a plot of land uniquely for Shi’a Muslims with 400 graves on three levels. We are considering buying the whole area and then selling it according to demand. The purchase of multiple plots makes financial sense at it would be cheaper. When all these arrangements are made we will look for donations or a big company to buy the whole lot and sell it later as per the requests of the Shi’a population. This is one of the practical plans we have for the future.
The community is also looking for a piece of land to build an Islamic centre. This would have to be an iconic, purpose-built place, a building reflecting Islamic culture and architecture becoming an attraction also for non-Muslims.
A similar building already exists in Chile, in the northern city of Iquique, established by the Moroccans. It attracts many visitors.
How did you find the cooperation among various followers of Ahl ul Bayt(a)?
My last trip took 25 days mostly during Ramadan in which I was able to assess the community. There is some intra-community cooperation, but much more is needed. Santiago is a very big city and Shi’a Muslims are scattered in different places. For example during Ramadan the Afghanis had iftar within their houses. The Pakistanis did come to the main Shi’a Islamic Centre although they have managed to buy a flat for their gathering right in the middle of the town where the Pakistani community is located. Most of them are single and first generation immigrants. We have two groups of Lebanese, some arrived in Chile 130 years ago losing their religious identity over time to rediscover it later. They can be considered ‘reverts’ to Islam in the real sense of the meaning. The Islamic Centre of Chile is run mostly by these ‘reverts’ and Chileans convert to Islam. There is another Lebanese group who are new arrivals; they are mostly single. They live very close to their businesses and they hold their iftar nearby. Their area is far away from the Shi’a Islamic Centre. They assist the Centre but they have their own gatherings.
I do believe there is a need for a religious scholar to be based there with his own office where he can visit all the communities and meet their members without being affiliated to any existing organisation or community. Ideally a minimum of three scholars are required to be there permanently, for the south, central and northern areas. This is something we have been discussing and to which are looking to find a speedy solution.
There are certainly conditions for the Shi’a Muslim community to flourish there, but at the moment due to lack of places for Islamic education, no sooner do children finish school than families leave Chile and go to Brazil and Argentina as there are better facilities for Islamic upbringing of the youth. There is an area in South America known as known as the ‘Shi’a Triangle’ between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, where recent Shi’a Lebanese migrants come together. According to Sheikh Faisal almost 250 people attend the morning prayers and around 500 people attend other daily prayers. I will be visiting this area in my next visit to assess what kind of assistance can be provided.
Visiting the Antarctica part of Chile is also in our plans but that would be in summertime.
Sayyed Razavi will, God-willing, be visiting Chile in the coming Islamic month of Muharram.
Hujjatul-Islam Sayyed Mohammad Razavi is the head of the Family Section at the Islamic Centre of England

text: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether patients with drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) due to hippocampal “gliosis only” have different MRI features than those with hippocampal sclerosis (HS). Most TLE patients have HS corresponding to severe neuronal loss and gliosis, but a few have “gliosis only” without significant reduction of neuronal density. Methods: We analyzed the morphology of cerebral 3 T MRIs (T1, T2, and FLAIR) of 103 patients with HS and 20 with “gliosis only” concerning hippocampal and amygdala aspect, volumes, and signal intensity (SI) using Fisher’s exact test, Student’s t test, and principal component analysis. Results: Visually, the ipsilateral hippocampus was hyperintense in both groups, but SI was markedly increased in 74% of HS and in 25% of “gliosis only” patients; the ipsilateral hippocampus was smaller in 92% of HS and in 50% of “gliosis only” patients, and its internal architecture was lost in 57% of HS and 5% of “gliosis only” patients; the contralateral hippocampal SI was altered in 25% of HS and in 70% of “gliosis only” patients (all p < 0.001). Ipsilateral hippocampus of HS patients had lower volume (mean ± SD 2.86 ± 0.87 ml) compared with that of “gliosis only” patients (3.4 ± 1.02 ml) and had higher SI than the contralateral hippocampus of HS patients and then the hippocampus of “gliosis only” patients (all p < 0.01). Conclusion: “Gliosis only” has different MRI hippocampal characteristics than HS: less volume loss, less increase of the T2-w signal intensity, preservation of internal architecture, and more contralateral affection.


Okay, now that we have gone over how to properly
lubricate our weapon or field lubricate our weapon if that is better terminology for it.
We are going to reassemble the weapon. And again if I took this down which I will do
now and I have cleaned it and I want to reassemble it I would grab my slide put it in my hand,
get my barrel, slide that in, take my guide, rod and spring, in a safe direction put that
in keep my thumb over it. Make sure there is no obstruction and everything here is where
it is supposed to be inside. Again match up the groves the male female. Slide this on.
Lock it to the rear. Put my take down lever at 3 o’clock hold onto it release it. Bring
it forward. And now it is back in working order. It is assembled properly. It will not
come off because I have assembled it the way it is supposed to be. And again always confer
with your user’s manual or the manufacturer’s specifications and instructions when disassembling
or trying to assemble a weapon.

Chelsea – where London was ‘Swinging’ in the 60s
Join the Beatles in London from the comfort of your own home for the unique interactive experience Chelsea Swinging London 60s Tour!
Welcome to my Chelsea – where London was ‘Swingin’ in the 60s Tour live and interactive virtual experience!
London’s Chelsea was the favourite haunt of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Mary Quant and Twiggy in ‘Swinging London’ of the 60s.
Be transported to ‘Swinging London’ and the King’s Road – where Rock and Roll royalty would mix with actors, models and artists and members of the aristocracy.
Hear stories of where Beatles opened a clothes shop and had the Sgt Pepper album cover picture taken, and how the Rolling Stones went from living in a squalid student flat to one of most exclusive streets in London.
It was where the ‘dedicated followers of fashion’ came to buy their clothes from the likes of Mary Quant, and had their hair cut by Vidal Sassoon.
And ‘World’s End’ where the Sex Pistols were formed!
‘You can’t always get what you want’, sang Mick Jagger about his visit to the Chelsea Drug Store on King’s Road in the Swingin’ London of 1960s. At the time it was a nightclub, pharmacy and record store, frequented by the Rolling Stones. Today all you get there is Big Mac and fries, – depends what you want?
There’s much more to this building than fast food – find out whom Mick was singing about, and what iconic 60s film it features in, in the Chelsea in the Swingin’ 60s Virtual tour.
March 1967. The birth of the iconic St. Pepper’s cover. In the middle of recording St.Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album, Paul McCartney, looking for inspiration for the cover, got in touch with art gallery owner Robert Fraser. Groovy Bob put Paul in touch with artist Peter Blake and his wife Jann Haworth, who designed the cover, based on the list of the Beatles’ favourite people. Celebrity photographer Michael Cooper brought it all to life at the Chelsea Manor Studios, off the King’s Road. Find out who is on it, and who was left out, – and there’s a mystery of the 5th Beatle!
This is a live online tour, and that there will be a Q & A session at the end. It is a great opportunity to meet fans from around the world!
I am Richard Porter, author of the book Guide to the Beatles London; writer and presenter of The Beatles’ London’ DVD; and a guide of 30 years experience. I was the President of the London Beatles Fan Club for 10 years and was a former winner of the ‘Beatles Brain of Britain’ competition. I organised the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the Beatles crossing Abbey Road, and was on the committee that erected a blue plaque to commemorate the Beatles famous ‘Rooftop concert’ at 3 Savile Row. In short, I am Super Fanatical Beatles Fan!

About Sammy Webber
When Sammy was 19 years old he decided to start playing the bass. Over the past 30 years, Sammy Webber is almost a household name. If you’ve spent any time in the Gospel or Jazz Music scene then you’ll definitely have heard of Sammy.
He has played in top bands Inside Out, U-Turn, Funtime, and Virtual Jazz Reality. In addition, Sammy has recorded a few solo albums.
Many people might think that bass is just a support or background instrument. But, when Sammy plays he makes his bass sing. He is one of those players who really make the bass as a solo instrument sing. He has inspired many would be bass players to take up the instrument, and also inspired those who already play to be better.
Sammy has multiple sclerosis. What this means is that the nerve that sends visual signals to the brain is progressively breaking down.
“I’m a bassist, often backing artists so my eyesight doesn’t impact my performance that much. However, solo performances where I really need to see what I’m playing is what I struggle with.”

This is a tale of two meetings. The first occurred Monday December 12th at Fort Bragg's Town Hall. The main order of business, recognizing outgoing councilmembers Scott Deitz and Doug Hammerstrom then seating Will Lee and Bernie Norvell in their places. With that done the city clerk called for nominations for mayor. When councilman Mike Cimolino said, “I'd like to nominate Lindy [Peters] to be mayor,” in the audience Rex Gressett grumbled, “Oh, no.”
Mr. Peters was voted in as mayor by a 4-0 vote. Long time councilmember Dave Turner was absent, visiting Fort Bragg's sister city Otsuchi, Japan. Peters in turn nominated Will Lee, the top vote getter in the November city council election, to be vice mayor. The same 4-0 vote resulted. If anyone cares, Gressett applauded this move.
Mr. Lee provides something of a nexus between city government and Mendocino Coast District Hospital (MCDH), where he is employed as the medical staff manager. Lee's only role at the MCDH Board meeting of December 15th was to read the lists of temporary privileges and locum tenens coverage. One bright note there was the news that OB/GYN Dr. Amy Tomlinson has apparently signed on with MCDH at least into the early autumn of 2017.
New MCDH Board President Steve Lund promised some forward movement for a long promised and as yet undelivered ad hoc committee concerned with cutting into the nearly million dollar losses the obstetrics department has incurred for the last several years.
Lund won a four year seat on the MCDH Board of Directors in the November balloting after serving as an interim Board member following Dr. Kate Rohr's resignation in June. Lund is newly joined on the Board of Directors by Drs. Lucas Campos and Kevin Miller. Returning members are Kitty Bruning and Peter Glusker.
In “New Business” before the MCDH Board, Shin Green, a principal at Eastshore Consulting LLC, detailed the finalization of the process in which the hospital district's general obligation (GO) bonds dating to 2001 are being refunded at a more favorable, late 2016 rate with a gross savings over the next fourteen years of $579,367 for MCDH's long term debt service. Within this refunding system the overall debt principal MCDH is responsible for grows from $3,940,000 to $4,125,000; however, the total interest due drops from $2,228, 299.39 to $1,463,931.44. Keep in mind there are issuance costs for refunding these GO bonds. Among those are $42,000 to Eastshore Consulting and $62,000 to the bond and disclosure counsel (Norton Rose Fulbright).
In other money matters Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Wade Sturgeon announced that plans to float something more than $3.5 million in new debt revenue bonds has fallen through. That money would have been used to fund long needed capital maintenance repairs such as the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), a nurse call system, an automatic transfer switch (ATS) for more or less immediate change over to generator power in an electric outage, a new electronic medical records system, and more. Some of these repairs have been needed for more than half a decade. Failure to procure new debt revenue bonds means some other source of loan/debt must be sought. The Board gave CFO Sturgeon permission to apply for a Help II Loan through the California Health Facilities Financing Authority for a sum approximating $1.5 million.
Meanwhile Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Bob Edwards informed the public that the recently concluded negotiations between administration and the employees union will end up costing the hospital $768,000 more over the next two years than the previous contract. Cynical observers might tell us that Edwards released this figure so eagerly in order to use it against the employee union next time around at the negotiating table. Best guess is that is a correct assumption, but don't be too quick to condemn the CEO here. MCDH's employees have been getting a plum benefits package for ages. Some estimates put that benefit package at approximately 40% of the total dollars spent by the hospital district on each employee. Other hospital districts in the state appear to be paying out far less.
Of course, that is a matter for two years hence. Right now, MCDH has to be concerned with day to day, month to month financial viability and finding money for millions and millions in absolutely vital repairs.


Potentially declining rates may not mean declining cost of funds.
Some credit unions likely breathed a sigh of relief when the upward climb of market rates stalled. Deposit pressures were building, and the cost of funds seemed positioned for a sharp increase. But with almost perfect timing, in came the Fed indicating no further rate increases in 2019. Rate decreases have even emerged as a possibility. While many have changed their market rate expectations, it is important not to go on cruise control. Flat or lower market rates may not translate to flat or lower cost of funds.
The primary contributor to this is a continuation of recent liquidity challenges. Sure, market interest rates play a key role in the cost of funds, but liquidity—or lack thereof—also has a significant impact. As shown in the graph below, loan growth has vastly outpaced share growth in recent years. This trend has caused some credit unions to dig deep into the liquidity toolbox for solutions.
Note: First quarter 2019 data indicates that loan growth continues to outpace share growth and that share growth shows an increase. Higher share growth is common in the first quarter and may not indicate a trend.
Based on the types of what-if scenarios requested from credit unions, member certificate promotions continue to be a popular liquidity tool to help replenish liquidity. While member certificates can be a quick alternative, it can come at a cost. Liquidity challenges have pushed certificate rates higher and, in many cases, certificate rates are higher than Treasury rates.
While there are plenty of credit unions feeling good about their deposit rates and overall liquidity positions, remember that high deposit rates from other institutions could cause members to move.
It is not just liquidity and high-cost liquidity solutions applying pressure to the cost of funds. Credit unions have also recently been performing what-if scenarios increasing money market rates. Why would money market rates increase if market interest rates are not increasing? Spurred in part by higher priced competition, one reason could be described as “catch-up” from being able to lag the increase in market interest rates. As short-term rates increased from essentially 0% to 2% the past few years, many credit unions were able to hold non-maturity deposit rates relatively flat over that period. As market rates potentially settle in at 2%, some catch-up may follow.
Potential increases in money market rates and ongoing liquidity pressures are just a few considerations currently impacting the cost of funds. Changes in technology, member behavior, and the overall economy will likely introduce a new host of factors in the future. While uncertainty remains, the key is in helping decision-makers understand that a potentially flat or decreasing rate environment may not translate into a flat or decreasing cost of funds.
We are seeing strategically-minded asset/liability committees and management teams view this as an opportunity to reassess their strategic positioning with respect to meeting short-term and intermediate funding needs.

(97 catera) New crankshaft sensor installed now won't rev above ~2700 rpm
I was having the issue where my car would shut off and not restart for about 30 minutes. So doing the research on here replaced both the fuel pump and the crankshaft sensor. Now it is starting rough but can get it started, runs good idleing. The issue I'm having now is it won't Rev up past the 2700 mark, when it hits that range it cuts out and drops back down to about 2000 rpms before the throttle works again. Almost seems like a saftey is kicking on and stopping it once it reaches that point. I did searching and can't find a solution. I tried disconnecting the battery to see if that would reset it but nothing. Thanks ahead of time for the help guys.

I think I found the problem, checked the sensor and it wasn't in all the way. Seems all right now.

Orbital Sciences Corporation's unmanned Cygnus cargo ship disintegrated as planned Sunday as it re-entered Earth's atmosphere after a month-long resupply mission to the International Space Station, AFP reports.
The spacecraft had been released from the orbiting lab on Friday at 6:40 am (1040 GMT), and then stayed in independent orbit for two days, before firing its engines and pushing into Earth's atmosphere.
The de-orbit burn had been scheduled to take just under 30 minutes.
The crew on board the space station watched and documented the spacecraft's plasma trail, posting pictures of the comet-like streak to Twitter.
Cygnus launched July 13 and arrived at the ISS three days later, bearing a load of 3,653 pounds (1,657 kilograms) of gear, food and science experiments.
The resupply mission was part of a billion dollar contract with NASA for multiple journeys to the ISS.


World celebrates 175th anniversary of great poet Abai
“Abai readings” have taken place in Moscow, Russia. Kazakh diaspora organized a symbolic campaign near a monument to Abai Kunanbaiuly in the city center. Famous musicians, artists, students and just fans of Abai’s work gathered at the Chistoprudny Boulevard and performed songs as well as excerpts from the “Words of Edification”.
“This event is important for our youth. Wise words of the unique classic are the best edification for our kids,” said Gulmai Khamedenova, resident of Moscow city.
“Abai readings” in Moscow became a traditional annual event. Kazakh National Cultural Autonomy and Moscow House of Nationalities plan to carry out the second stage of literary readings.
“Abai’s legacy will be relevant in a hundred and in a thousand years. We have to explain the value of his words to the young generation,” said Amantai Rakhmetov, resident of Moscow city.
“Abai readings” also took place in Berlin this month. According to the press service of Kazakh Foreign Ministry, participants of the event and fans of the poet’s work recited and sang the works of the founder of Kazakh written language on Kazakh and German languages online. Attendees of the videoconference organized by Kazakh Embassy to Germany and Kazakh-German Society discussed thematic lectures about Abai’s life as well as his contribution to the cultural enrichment of different countries.
“Today these masterpieces of Kazakh literature are cause for further expansion of Kazakh-German interaction and strengthening of bilateral relations in the cultural field along with political and economic cooperation,” noted Kazakh Ambassador to Germany Dauren Karipov.
More than 500 various events are planned to be held this year as part of the celebration of the 175th anniversary of Abai in Kazakhstan and many other countries, including under the auspices of UNESCO. They are dedicated to the popularization of the poet’s philosophy based on ideas of justice, honesty, compassion and patriotism.

Personifying Death or a Death deity is not, even a little, a unique aspect to my book. Death has been personified many times over. Here are a few examples that may have influenced my take on Thanatos.
Honorable Mentions that came about after I wrote Persephone but did such a good job, I had to include them.
Supernatural: Death cameod on Supernatural a number of times and the scenes were always intense and amazing.
The Book Thief: Beautifully narrated by Death. If you haven’t read this one, do.
Now to go way back….
Twilight Zone If you only ever watch one episode of Twilight Zone…I mean why would you only watch one, but okay, watch “One Night of Mercy.” They did such a great job making death a sympathetic and creepy character all at once. Amazing episode. Killer ending.
Meet Joe Black. The entire movie is about Death as a spoiler. I’ve never actually watched it, keep meaning to, but given how often I’m inspired by previews, I wouldn’t be surprised if some influence crept in to my Thanatos.
Because I Could not Stop for Death By Emily Dickinson. This poem and its influence cannot be ignored in any conversation about death personified. I don’t even remember when the last time I read it was. High School? Early college? But I can still recite it almost verbatim. It’s pervasive that way. Gets in your head and never leaves.
Can you think of any great examples of death personified?
