• Mr. Miles Guo shared a tweet with Mr. Lu De from @martpunished: “President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping to undergo surgery due to intracranial aneurysm.”
o The information is confirmed, but it’s not clear if President Xi will end up doing the surgery.
o After reading the letter from Jia Qinglin and Wen Jiabao, it has put much pressure on Xi. Mr. Lu De was told that the U.S. government obtained the letter, and that Lu De Media was mentioned several times in the letter. As the CCP has bought off all the mainstream media, they can only hear the truth from Mr. Lu De’s show.
o Since 2018, Mr. Lu De has been trying to warn the CCP top leaders through his program. If they had listened to Mr. Lu De two years ago, they would not be in the situation today.
o In Jia and Wen’s letter, they also addressed the issue of vaccines. a. Xi has controlled 90% of the Vaccine Industry now. b. With $500 billion operation costs, the CCP’s $40 billion vaccine economy may turn into a vaccine crisis under current US-China tensions.
o Mr. Lu De throws out a question at the end of the discussion, which is why Xi Jinping MUST have an aneurysm and MUST have the surgery at this time.
• Japan on Saturday said it would temporarily ban non-resident foreign nationals from entering the country as mutated COVID-19 strain confirmed in Japan.
o Japan is preparing to officially break away from the CCP.
• President Trump tweeted: “Good news on COVID Relief Bill. Information to follow!”
o The mainstream media misleadingly reported that President Trump approved that 5,000+ page COVID relief package.
o According to White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere, what the President signed is H.R. 133, an Act making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, providing coronavirus emergency response and relief, and for other purposes.
o Whitehouse has also issued a statement on the COVID relief package, saying the President will only sign the bill if Congress removes the wasteful items.
o By using the Impoundment Control Act, President Trump has successfully broken through the opposition.

Major Benefits of 5G for Businesses
Around the country, many providers will be using indoor small cell and DAS technologies to bring 5G technology to companies. Organizations are preparing for the switch to enhance their networks and harness the power of 5G for their businesses. But is it a cellular solution worth upgrading to?
First, 5G is the first “G” update that does more than just create a faster radio network. Instead, it works by bringing together many technologies that had emerged since the advent of 4G and connects them to people, machines, and global cloud infrastructures to create an enhanced solution.
It’s no surprise then that 5G networks will serve 40% of the globe by 2024. They can offer companies a chance to run more effectively and efficiently than ever.
Here are three significant benefits companies experience and what exactly 5G can achieve that make it the most revolutionary “G” yet!
The Three Major Benefits of 5G for Businesses
Enhanced Mobile Broadband and Capacity Enhancements
Each new “G” offers enhanced speed. However, the latest 5G takes it to a whole new level by improving both enhanced broadband and capacity requirements.
When tested under perfect laboratory conditions, 4G tops out at about 1 gigabits per second. 5G, on the other hand, completely surpasses 4G’s ideal laboratory situation with an impressive 20 gigabits per second.
Even with great coverage and speed, though, insufficient capacity will still result in reduced speeds and frustration for everyone. It results in the glacial service nicknamed “5 bars of nothing.” As companies have grown and expanded the technology they use, the demands on traditional 4G have stretched it to its limit. Previous generations of cellular solutions were not equipped to handle the increased loads of the new and emerging technologies.
5G tackles traditional cellular service problems by addressing the two critical components for an improved mobile experience: increasing both speed and density. Both of these together create an impressive performance across enterprises of all industries. With 5G speeds, enterprises can move significant amounts of data, including simultaneous data transfers, without network issues. They can start to plan for a truly universal wireless user experience, eliminating physical cabling, and reducing their infrastructure costs while improving employee satisfaction and connectivity.
Massive IoT and Connectivity
5G offers a higher device capacity than previous versions to handle the needs of the modern-day property.
As companies use more and more devices to run effectively and efficiently, traditional networks are overly burdened and cannot handle the increase in loads. Because of today’s 4G limitations, companies are limited in the number of devices they can run concurrently.
5G offers the connectivity that businesses need both now and in the future. It can support an estimated one million connected devices per .38 miles. By comparison, 4G supports just 100,000. But don’t overlook the important of a solid 4G core. It is important to insure you have 4G today to be ready for 5G tomorrow. Check out our recent blog post on how 4G is part of today’s 5G rollouts.
Not only can the network handle a larger number of devices, but it can also support simultaneous data transfers within the network that usually require multiple networks.
Low Latency and Ultra-High Reliability
Latency refers to the gap between when data is sent and when it is received and acknowledged.
Technology has always come with a certain amount of lag, and it has long been accepted as a minor annoyance of technology. Think about, for example, watching a livestream of a football game. It will always be a second or two behind what is actually going on in the game.
As more critical activities have come to rely on technology, latency periods have become more than just a minor inconvenience. In healthcare, where a surgeon is relying on technology to perform remote surgery, this gap is critical to ensure the surgeon’s movements are not affected by network latency.
Latency is especially an issue for companies that utilize IoT to run their business. 5G improves their functionality and safety by lowering latency. It can support the necessary applications with significantly lower latency.
Ultra-high reliability increases 5G availability so that technical applications and processes can be assured of consistent network services availability.
In short, 5G provides a substantial performance increase over 4G LTE. It can support additional devices at a speedier data rate and reduced latency.
The Goals of 5G
While these are the overarching benefits of 5G, what does this mean on the more technical level?
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) created technical goals for 5G to make them a reality. These technical goals were created in 2015 to guide their process of designing 5G and their improvements over the original LTE:
- User Experienced Data Rate. 5G delivers 10x’s the data rate at the mobile device. It went from 10 with LTE to 100 Mbits/sec.
- Spectrum Efficiency. The spectrum efficiency is the data rate over a channel. 5G boasts three times more efficiency over LTE. What that means is that when both 5G and LTE use the same channel width, 5G performs three times better than LTE.
- Mobility. Mobility is a critical goal for mobile devices that need to move at fast speeds, such as high-speed rails and drones. 5G improved mobility from 250 to 500 km/h for applications that require exceptional speed.
- Latency. Latency is critical for applications that require quick replies from their systems, such as the surgery example noted above. 5G offers 10xs the improvement in latency over LTE, taking it from 10ms down to 1ms.
- Connection Density. Networks have to be able to handle and service more devices in dense areas, such as offices or urban settings. 5G offers 10x the improvement over LTE, taking it from 100,000 devices/km2 to 1,000,000.
- Energy Efficiency. Every part of the 5G network is orchestrated to use much less power over LTE. In fact, 5G is 100x more energy-efficient than LTE.
- Area Traffic Capacity. Area traffic capacity combines with connection density to improve network usage in the area. 5G offers 10x the improvement from 1 to 10 Mbits/sec/m2, and it could increase 100x the network usage across the area.
- Peak Data Rate. When testing the over-the-air data rate, 5G has 20x the improvements, taking it from 1 to 20 Gbits/sec. at the cell infrastructure.
When you combine these eight measurable goals and improvements, you get the three major benefits outlined above. 5G offers a more reliable network to its users that can handle 10x the devices in a common area while reducing latency by 10x and offering a 10x faster data rate.
Cellular Solutions to Meet Your Needs
5G technology , such as Corning’s Indoor Small Cell (Spidercloud Enterprise RAN), can help companies better harness 5G for a faster and more reliable network to handle the devices needed for business. Consider your 4G infrastructure today and prepare for 5G tomorrow. It is an investment that not just improves the network but completely transforms it.

Effective October 17th, Canadians can purchase legal recreational marijuana from approved vendors. In Ontario, adults 19 and over may now possess a maximum of 30 grams of pot in public. There is no limit on the amount of dried cannabis you may have at home, but households cannot grow more than 4 marijuana plants. After Bill 36 (Ontario’s Cannabis Act Amendments Bill) is passed, individuals may smoke pot wherever smoking is allowed, including in designated hotel rooms, many outdoor locations and residential boats and vehicles.
Although the majority of Canadians agree with the concept of legalizing marijuana, many of us continue to be concerned that this change will result in higher rates of car accidents and personal injury resulting from drug impairment. And, there is cause for worry since impaired driving is currently the leading criminal cause of injury and death in Canada and more driver fatalities are caused by drugs than alcohol. Further, none of us really knows whether the amended driving laws and the enhanced training of police officers will be up to the task of preventing drug impairment-related accidents and deaths.
Here are new legislation and procedures related to drug-impaired driving.
- In Ontario, it is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to be driving under the influence of marijuana, regardless of their licence status.
- Under Canada’s Criminal Code, there are 3 new criminal offences focussing on the concentration of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the active ingredient in cannabis. THC is measured in nanograms per millilitre, and the severity of punishment will rise depending on whether the impaired driver has a concentration of: 2 to less than 5 ng/ml; 5 ng/ml or more; or a blood alcohol level of .05 combined with 2.5 ng/ml or greater of THC.
- Police can use roadside screening devices that test a driver’s saliva for the presence of THC, cocaine and methamphetamine, but only if the officer has reasonable suspicion that a driver has consumed drugs.
One of the problems regarding impairment from cannabis consumption is that the level of impairment is really not predictable and can vary substantially between people. For example, an occasional pot smoker can be impacted much differently than a regular smoker. And, the level of THC and amount of pot consumed have a huge effect on impairment and how long the impairment lasts. Finally, how the cannabis was consumed – through smoking, edibles or drinking – also greatly effects the level and duration of impairment. This uncertainty about how much you are impaired and how long the impairment might last means that the only safe choice is to never drive after consuming pot. What remains to be seen is whether Ontario drivers will take heed of this reality.
A tragic car accident earlier this year highlighted the potentially deadly effects of driving under the influence of drugs. On July 11th, a 21-year-old Listowel man was arrested after causing a fatal accident north of Guelph Ontario. The crash resulted in the death of a 43-year-old man in another vehicle, as well as injuries to three passengers who were occupants of the pickup truck driven by the at fault driver. The latter was charged with driving while impaired by drugs causing death as well as other charges.
Many Canadians, particularly regular pot smokers, have admitted that they often drive after smoking pot. And many others acknowledge that they have been passengers in a vehicle driven by someone who recently consumed marijuana. Young adults and youths are disproportionately represented in the statistics and fatalities related to drug-impaired driving, but anyone can be a victim. However, if we want to prevent the potentially life-changing injuries that can result from drug-related driving accidents, we need to change our thinking about the effect of pot on driving ability and never get into a vehicle driven by someone under the influence.

Tuesday, cannot come fast enough. As Vice President Biden joked on the David Letterman Show last week, we all want this election cycle over with. The United States has one of the longest election cycles among democratic countries. Now, with Superstorm Sandy delivering the all-too infamous long-expected October Surprise, the election took a bit of a backseat in the media coverage (at least in the Northeast media market). But with Tuesday looming, it is time to again put a spotlight on the election. Do not get me wrong, Sandy and its aftermath is still very much a focus (and should be). I, for one, am still displaced. But I am also a political junkie, as well as a firm believer in voting as not only a right but as something every citizen should do, AND I am also a Latina. The media has been focused on the significance of the Latino voter and the impact of the Latino vote on the upcoming election, and this time, as a Latina, I feel like my vote matters more.
In the past year, we have heard much about the “Latino Vote” in the United States (the cover of Time Magazine a few months back) and lately we have debated whether it is a great big Latino Bluff. Latinos, as a group, had one of the largest increases the past decade in terms of US population growth. Latinos are no longer solely in “Traditional” Hispanic areas such as New York, California, Florida, Illinois. They are now also the largest growing segments in parts of the Deep South and Midwest. Ten of the 12 states that had the largest percentage Hispanic growth were in the Deep South. These are areas that I have been referring to as “Emerging” Latino areas. These emerging Hispanic population areas are also areas that are playing larger and larger parts in the political debate and electoral landscape.
Let us take a moment to consider the numbers. Overall, Hispanics are now over 16.4% of the US population and rapidly growing. A common misperception is that the growth is due to immigration (“illegal immigration” if you take Fox News seriously), but the growth is due in large part to births. Among all Hispanics, the percentage of foreign born fell from 40% in 2000 to 37% in 2010. Meanwhile the percentage with U.S. citizenship increased from 71% in 2000 to 74% in 2010. This means that the segment of eligible Latino voters in the US is growing, and seems poised to continue growing. The number of eligible Latino voters has reached a record 23.7 million this year (Pew Hispanic Center); an enormous 22% increase in the Latino voting landscape since the 2008 presidential election. Latinos now make up 11% of the nation’s eligible voters, but we know that number will get larger as Latinos are increasingly integrated into the social structure, economy, and cultural life of America. Some states in the Deep South (South Carolina, Georgia and possibly North Carolina) stand to gain House seats based partly on population increases due to burgeoning Latino populations. Ironic that political influence will increase for areas that are traditional bastions of anti-Latino sentiment, largely based on rapidly increasing Latino populations. Latinos must be present in the voting booth to make their increasing population count… Data from the four states that record voter registration by ethnicity (Alabama, Florida, Georgia and North Carolina) show that Latino registration has increased since last presidential election. Latinos are clearly a substantial ingredient in the American melting pot, but having an important voice requires speaking up.
There has also been internal migration of Latinos across the United States that changes the political discourse at the local level. For example, many Hispanics who have had long standing presences in states like New York and New Jersey are moving to places like Colorado, North Carolina and Florida. Florida does have a longstanding Hispanic population, primarily represented politically by Cubans. However, now there is a substantial migration of Puerto Ricans to Florida (particularly to the Orlando region). And, let me tell you something Puerto Ricans and Cubans VOTE! Puerto Ricans and Cuban Americans have legal statuses not enjoyed by immigrants from other Latin American countries. This makes immigration a minor issue for them. Their chief concerns center on Florida’s struggling economy. According to an October 2010 report by the Pew Hispanic Center, nationally Hispanics rank education, jobs, and health care as their top three issues of concern. Immigration ranks as the fourth most important issue for all Latinos
There is a longstanding tradition of voting in Hispanic communities. Interestingly, this past week, Argentina lowered its voting age to 16. In their last national election (2011), Argentina had 79% voter turnout. In Brazil, in 2010, they had an 81% voter turnout. In Bolivia, in 2009, they had a 94% voter turnout. In Nicaragua, it was 79%. In Panama, you see one of the lowest voter turnouts at 70%. That is still higher than when Obama ran in 2008 and motivated an increased voter turnout. Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico vote at some of the highest rates in the Western Hemisphere.
I believe that the Latino Vote is not just a bogeyman used to play on manufactured fears about immigration or false praise played to give us false sense of power. Tradition is on our side. I predict Latinos will come out to vote and it will be a key margin in the states of Colorado, Ohio, Florida, Nevada and perhaps North Carolina and Virginia. Colorado has the 8th largest Hispanic population nationwide . In Colorado, Michael Bennet defeated Ken Buck by a slim two-point margin. Senator Bennet won, in large part, by winning 81% of the Hispanic vote, while Buck won 19%. Colorado’s Hispanic population is 20.65% of the state’s total population (2010 U.S. Census). Since the Census numbers were released, the Hispanic Colorado population has been noted at 20.9% and Hispanic voters are 13% of all eligible voters in the state (Pew Hispanic Center, 2010).
The state of North Carolina saw an 111% increase in Latino population growth during the past decade. In Ohio, Latinos make up only 3.2 percent of the population. But they still could influence the results if the polls are right that this is a fairly tight race-the must win swing state for the current election.
In terms of voter turnout, the Center for Immigration Studies projects that 52.7% of eligible Hispanics will vote in the 2012 election. This is still below that of 66.1% for non-Hispanic whites and 65.2% for non-Hispanic blacks in 2008. But again, do note that the Hispanic/Latino population is a very young population. Approximately 90% of Latinos under 18 are U.S. citizens, and so every year, more will be eligible to vote and more will be casting ballots.
My son was born the day Obama announced he was selecting Joe Biden as his VP running mate. In 2008, when I went to cast my ballot, I took my son in with me. When Obama won later that night, my son – just four months old- was “watching” the news coverage with us. I won’t say who I voted for. But when the overall race was called for Obama, I turned to my son and said “Obama won. One day you can be president too. But you must vote in every election like your mommy, because that is what your grandma taught me”. Latinos must inculcate the importance of good citizenship in their children, particularly because of the stigma of immigration. Latino should not be associated with “illegal”. It should be associated with “American”, and more importantly “voter”.

Hey guys, I currently run two walker mt's for my residential properties and a 66" super z for commercial. I'm looking to reduce my dependency on bagging and potentially trade one of the ghs models in or sell it outright to help finance a mbs with the 60" deck. I have read a lot about the different engine configurations and have talked to my local dealers a small amount, but I have not been able to find many marginally acceptable reviews online that cover the machine. I'm looking for people who have real world experience with them, in all different cutting conditions. I'm mainly concerned with heavy spring growth cutting, and thick wet weeds. I have operated the older 62" sd mowers from the late 90's and they cut great when its dry. Obviously I'm concerned about the clumping/discharge of wet material as I'm trying to eliminate bagging to speed up my productivity. I have considered other brands, Ferris being one of them simply for the ride quality, as well as the new gravely 460. I have experience with the 3100z and it is an amazing machine, but the dealer just priced me at $12,5xx for the 61" model, a little steep if you ask me when I can get an MBS for a little over 10k. The only Gravely dealer is about an hour from me, so its a little out of the way, but I would like to at least give it a look. If anyone can chime in and give some feedback on how they are liking the MBS I would be very appreciative.

For some of us, there’s nothing like a fresh BLT sitting poolside during the summer. That is until we came across this recipe, swapping bacon out for one of its pork cousins: pork belly. Make the pork belly on a cold and rainy summer day and keep it in the fridge for your summertime picnics.
- 8 Cups water
- 1/2 Cup salt
- 1/4 Cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons black peppercorns
- 1 Tablespoon allspice berries
- One 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
- 3 bay leaves
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 3 Teaspoons cayenne
- 2 Pounds heritage pork belly
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- Mayonnaise, as needed
- Tomato jam, as needed (optional)
- 4 slices bibb lettuce
- 4 slices tomato
- 2 avocados, thinly sliced
Combine all of the ingredients through the cayenne in a large saucepan and heat over medium-high to dissolve the sugar and the salt. Remove from heat and let cool. Add the pork to the brine and submerge for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 240 degrees. Remove the pork belly from its brine and dry well with paper towels. Heat a large skillet over medium-high and sear pork belly all over until golden brown. Add the skillet to the oven and bake for 3-4 hours. When done, let cool and slice to ¼-inch thick. Reserve until ready to assemble sandwiches.
Toast the slices of sourdough and reheat the sliced pork belly. Spread a little mayonnaise on 1 side of 4 slices of toast and tomato jam on 1 side of the other 4 slices. Add the pork belly to 1 of the slices and top with the lettuce, tomato, and avocado. Top with the other slice, to make 4 sandwiches.

Sometimes the search for senior living can leave an older adult and their family members questioning what type of community they really need. Is an independent living community, offering a wide variety of life enrichment programs and freedom from household chores, the best fit? Or does a family member need the added support and care provided by an assisted living community?
While some senior living communities, including Five Star, offer both types of senior housing on one campus, it’s still important to understand the similarities and differences between them.
Independent Living Versus Assisted Living
These two popular types of senior living are thoughtfully designed. Both options should have features that promote an engaging and safe lifestyle They also offer services and amenities that meet the unique needs of seniors at different stages of life.
Understanding independent living communities
Independent living communities are often a good fit for seniors seeking freedom from the burdens of homeownership. Because housekeeping tasks and maintenance chores such as lawn care, appliance repair, trash removal, and snow removal are handled by staff, residents have more time to fully enjoy their retirement.
An independent living community nurtures an older adult’s interests and hobbies. These often include hosting travel groups, life-enrichment activities, continuing education classes, and wellness programs. Many independent living residents spend time volunteering in the community or for area nonprofit organizations.
Some of our Five Star Independent Living communities offer additional concierge services that allow the resident to age in place in their apartment.
Here are some other reasons to choose an independent living community for yourself or a senior loved one:
- Group outings: Independent living communities typically offer group outings to popular local and regional attractions, such as zoos, shopping malls, art museums, and restaurants
- Wellness: Staying active and engaged is easier for residents to achieve due to the variety of physical activities available each day. These can include walking groups, yoga, Zumba, weight training, stretching classes, and working out in an on-site fitness center.
- Friendships: Seniors often grow their circle of friends at an independent living community. Older adults have the opportunity to meet new people and build new social networks at both formal and informal gatherings.
- Life enrichment: Attending on-campus life enrichment activities is a leading reason why older adults move to independent living. From arts and crafts to religious services, current-event discussions, card clubs, and movie nights, there are programs to meet every interest.
- Transportation: While this benefit can vary, most independent living communities have either on-site transportation available or staff can help coordinate transportation needs.
Get to know assisted living communities
In addition to all of the benefits outlined above, an assisted living community provides residents with the care and support they need to live their most independent life. By lending a hand with activities of daily living (e.g., grooming, bathing, and medication management), an assisted living community helps to protect each resident’s health and safety.
It’s also important to understand that an assisted living community isn’t the same as a nursing home. Where assisted living residents require help with personal care and daily tasks, those in a nursing home usually have more complex medical needs. This generally means nursing home residents require skilled care delivered by nurses, physical therapists, and other medical professionals.
Here are some of the services generally found in assisted living communities:
- Support with personal care needs, such as bathing, grooming, and dressing
- Medication coordination and supervision
- Nutritious meals and healthy snacks which includes the ability to accommodate special diets like low-salt, gluten-free, and diabetic.
- Help with toileting and continence care
- Housekeeping, laundry, trash removal, and maintenance
Memory Care is another type of Assisted Living. This option is distinguished by a secure environment. Likewise, there should be special training for caregivers and special programs for residents. At Five Star Senior Living, our Bridge to Rediscovery Memory Care neighborhoods offer our award-winning lifestyle based on the Montessori philosophy.
At Five Star Senior Living we believe that a community should be not just a place to live – it should be a place to thrive. Our residents enjoy our Lifestyle 360 life engagement program which brings life into perfect harmony by focusing on the Five Dimensions of Wellness: intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual.
We know too that food and the enjoyment of food are vital for our residents' happiness and satisfaction. Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care should offer a dining program that is both nutritious and delicious.

Youth Congress activists set fire to effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi outside the BJP state office and scuffled with police today during a counter rally they had organised against the BJP demonstration outside their party headquarters in Kolkata on the Rafale issue. The Youth Congress workers said that the BJP’s agitation was undemocratic and launched a counter rally in central Kolkata outside the state BJP headquarters.
Police barricaded the area outside the BJP office to avoid any untoward incident. Efforts to pacify the Congress protesters failed as they refused to go away and burnt effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Later on, when they tried to move towards the BJP office, a scuffle between police and the Congress activists ensued, during which rotten eggs and ink were thrown at the men in uniform. The Youth Congress workers, including their state chief Shadab Khan, also staged a road blockade at the busy Central crossing, resulting in traffic snarls.
Later police removed the blockade and arrested several Congress workers. Earlier in the day, BJP youth activists held a protest rally outside the state Congress headquarters here demanding an “apology” from the party and its leader Rahul Gandhi for spreading “lies” on the Rafale issue that were rejected by the Supreme Court.
The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha activists marched from Moulali to Bidhan Bhawan, the state Congress headquarters in central Kolkata, during the course of which they tore posters and burnt effigies of Rahul Gandhi for his “lies and propaganda” on the Rafale deal in a bid to defame Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the campaign for the Lok Sabha polls, a BJYM leader said. The BJYM activists also demanded an apology from Gandhi, he said. The rally was part of the saffron party’s countrywide stir to seek Rahul Gandhi’s apology on the Rafale issue.
During the 2019 Lok Sabha election campaign, the Congress had time and again raised the issue of Rafale deal. The Supreme Court had on Thursday given a clean chit to the Modi government on the purchase of 36 Rafale fighter jets from French company Dassault Aviation, rejecting the plea for registration of an FIR by the CBI for alleged commission of cognisable offence in the deal.

El Greco has a cool, downtown location and comfortable (if somewhat spartan) retro Greek decor. Underdog is going to accuse me of being harsher than I need to be with this one and, to be fair, Greek food is not usually my first choice (the exception being Estia in Philadelphia, which takes the cuisine to new heights and is one of my favorite restaurants in the country).
We started with a couple of soups, which were both kind of "meh". My New England Clam Chowder left me cold. Potato bits and clams were both minced too finely, there was an overload of celery chunks in it that I didn't find particularly appealing and it lacked overall creaminess.
I didn't think UD's Avgolemono (a lemony chicken and rice soup) was much better, but we each preferred the other to our own, so we swapped. The viscous, tangy broth had a slight metallic undertaste and chicken had the flavor and texture of canned.
Dogboy also placed an order for grilled octopus, which was all his. I've said this before...I have a soft spot for these intelligent cephalopods. They could probably learn algebra if they lived out of the water and I don't like seeing the little tentacles still attached to the fully intact arms. The only place I can eat it is at Estia, where they practically disguise it as lobster. Somebody snarfed it right up without compunction, however.
The Marini Eggplant was thinly sliced eggplant rolled and filled with spinach and feta, then baked and served over spaghetti with marinara sauce and more feta. I have to say it was pretty darn tasty. I love all its ingredients to begin with and thought it was nicely put together, in spite of the accompanying foil-wrapped butter pats that always transport me to Denny's. :|
The "Mediterranean Cruise" was a generous Greek sampler consisting of grilled chicken skewers (dryish breast meat chunks, which I don't think is the best part of a chicken to begin with); two perfect triangles of crispy, flaky spanakopita; two grape leaves stuffed with ground meat of some kind and rice; and a fairly forgettable rice pilaf smothered in marinara sauce. The spanakopita and dolmades were the high points...both better than most.
How can you go to a Greek restaurant and not order baklava? You can't and we didn't. This was a delicious rendition with a heavier accent on the nuts and lighter hand with the honey than some I've tried, which I really liked. These guys seem to do a particularly nice job with anything layered in phyllo...or maybe I just love all things phyllo-encrusted.
Overall, hit or miss...although a couple of items were quite good, there was definitely not enough good to leave me in "OMG, when can I go back to El Greco???" mode and it was mediocre enough for me to be fairly certain I'll never go back unless someone else is paying. And, yes...I can be a bit of a Food Bitch, especially when I had dinner at Beach Bistro the night before (which is not an act any restaurant wants to follow).

Laboratory for Comprehensive Bioimaging
Location :Kobe / Developmental Biology Buildings, Hiroshima
Please replace [at] with @.
Light has been an essential modality in medical and life science for 400 years because of the availability of living specimens. When light passes through the biomaterial or when light emanates from the biomaterial, the light is modified/modulated by information inside the biomaterial. Our developmental aim is extract the biological information from the fluorescence or scattering light. We are also trying to apply the developed measurement technology to various fields such as medicine and agriculture. For example, Raman scattering light contains all the molecular information constituting a substance, and the Raman scattered light spectrum of the cell is very complicated. We exploit this complexity to make Raman scattered light spectrum into a cellular fingerprint that identifies the type and state of cells. In addition, this "cell fingerprinting technology" is developed as an evaluation method applicable without touching or damaging cells or tissues. We are conducting research and development on as many innovation seeds as possible by simultaneously developing both basic measurement principles and practical application techniques. We believe that these technologies support many biological research fields and contribute to industries and revitalize the community.

The federal government, which has had troubles for that past two years figuring out how much money it will spend, will tell Congress Monday that on July 1 it again overestimated the 1977 deficit, this time by between $2 billion and $3 billion.
That means the deficit for fiscal 1977 (which ends Sept. 30) will be about $45 billion. The Carter administration's first budget revisions last February estimated the deficit at $68 billion.
But July 1, with only three months to go in the year, administration officials had trimmed the deficit estimate to $48.1 billion and now they will trim it again.
The inability of the government to spend as much as it wants to worries many economists because Congress and the President fashion their budget to reach a desired economic impact.
When Congress passed its third and final 1977 budget in February it called for a deficit of $52.6 billion.
Ironically, if the deficit is $45 billion or so for the current spending year, it will be close to the $43 billion deficit President Fort proposed when he sumitted his budget in January 1976.
He was sharply criticized then by many Democrats who charged he was being too tight-fisted with many of his programs because the economy still needed assistance in the form of heavy federal spending to recover from the 1974-75 recession.
By last January, whne Ford submitted his proposed 1978 budget days before leaving office, his administration said it thought the government would spend $57.2 billion more than it took in. A month later, President Carter boosted the deficit estimate the $68 billion.
Government officials said one of the reasons the deficit estimate has narrowed so much in only four weeks is the unexpected deposit of about $700 million by foreign governments into the Defense Department's military assistance trust fund.
When foreign governments buy weapons or services from the United States under military assistance programs the governments first depost the money they want to spend in special trust funds administered by the Pentagon.
The money gets transferred to the Pentagon accounts from the trust fund the the Pentagon pays say the contractor or perhaps credits the account of the Army Corps of Engineers.
One government official said he was "mystified" by the unexpected deposits in the military trust funds, most of which apparently came from Saudi Arabia.
"How many $700 million of unexpected collections could show up is beyond me," the official said.

An objective of the JIPS Registry is to examine background, diagnostic methods, and disease behavior of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs), considering classification based on American Thoracic Society (ATS)/ European Respiratory Society(ERS) /Japanese Respiratory Society (JRS)/ Latin American Thoracic Association (ALAT) guidelines for diagnosis, the ATS/ERS classification of 2002 and 2013 and revised guideline in the future.
JIPS Registry also serves as a tool to investigate the prognosis of IIPs, considering its classification, respiratory function changes, events including unscheduled hospitalization, acute exacerbation, lung cancer, lung transplantation etc., and self-reported outcome (quality of life, dyspnea etc.). At the registration and the final observation, multi-disciplinary discussion (MDD) will be carried out by a central review, and usefulness of conducting 2nd MDD will be determined.
Primary Research Question
- Data on current practice patterns for IIPs diagnosis
Describe the frequency of surgical lung biopsy, bronchoalveolar lavage, lung function tests, 6-minuite walk test and chest CT.
- Prevalence of each categorized IIPs
Investigate the prevalence of each categorized IIPs by using the recent and future guidelines.
- Natural history of each categorized IIPs
Describe the natural history of each categorized IIPs, CT findings, FVC changes, medications, and causes of death.
Our reports will be produced twice, one year after registration and at the end of the study.
Secondary Outcome Measures
1. Progression-free survival by category of IIPs
Overall survival time and progression-free survival will be investigated by considering IIPs category; however, the observation will be finished after three years from the last registration. An additional analysis by FVC will be conducted to investigate the absolute and relative FVC changes (>10% decrease, >10% increase, change within 10%) from baseline. Deterioration is defined as a decrease of >10%, a decrease in distance by 50 m or more in a 6-minute walk test, and the onset of acute exacerbation. The log rank test will be used to analyze these results.
2. Hospital admission for acute exacerbations of IIPs
To evaluate incidences, therapy and prognosis of acute respiratory deterioration in patients with IPF (based on the revised definition of acute exacerbation of IPF) and other IIPs will be recorded.
3. Mean change of patient-reported outcome (Total Saint George Respiratory Questionnaire Score, COPD assessment test, Dyspnoea-12) every12 months from baseline
One of the study objectives is to assess patient-reported outcomes, such as health-related quality of life (HRQoL). In particular, it is planned to determine whether low HRQoL scores correlate with more severe clinical parameters, such as serum biomarkers, pulmonary function tests, exercise tests, HRCT findings, and staging systems in patients with IPF and other IIPs.
4. Quantitative evaluation of HRCT findings
Radiologists will estimate the fibrotic score using CT images of the patients, which will also be analyzed by a custom-developed computer-system, the Gaussian Histogram Normalized Correlation (GHNC) system. We will compare the estimates determined by the radiologists and the GHNC system with pulmonary function tests and will use Cox regression analysis to examine the relationship between the volumes and patient survival. Furthermore, we will determine whether the GHNC results are different compared to IPF and other IIPs using ANOVA.
5. Validation of second multidisciplinary discussion
MDD became necessary at the time of diagnosis after the ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT IPF guideline in 2011. There is no regulation to keep the use of MDD in the second after the diagnosis. However, diagnosis sometimes changes to connective tissue diseases associated interstitial lung disease several years after being diagnosed as idiopathic NSIP. In another case, it is reported a patient with idiopathic NSIP has changed to IPF after the second surgical lung biopsy. In this study, MDD held by independent central reviewers will be conducted twice at the time of registration and final observation using questionnaire. Concordance rate for diagnosis and disease behavior in each case between the time of registration and final observation will be evaluated.
6. IIPs staging systems
To evaluate the predictability of two new models regarding mortality risk in a large cohort of Japanese patients with IPF: the revised Japanese disease severity classification and the revised GAP model. The Kaplan–Meier survival curves will be used for each stage of each model and will be compared by using the log-rank test. The discriminative performance of these two models will be evaluated using the C-statistic.
7. Prognosis and complication of CPFE
The patients with CPFE will be evaluated for FVC changes, as well as incidence of pulmonary hypertension, lung cancer, and acute exacerbation. Cluster analysis will be used, and CPFE will be divided into groups.
8. Background and prognosis of Unclassifiable IIPs
Unclassifiable IIPs is one of the major classifications and has thus become a more common diagnosis than ever before. There are reports that about 15% of IIPs are unclassifiable; hence, this study will investigate the reasons for this diagnosis, as well as patient background and prognosis. Both Unclassifiable IIPs by facility diagnosis and by central reveiw will be investigated. Cluster analysis will be used, and Unclassifiable IIPs will be divided into groups.
9. Validation of new guideline
If there are changes in IIPs diagnostic guidelines or severity classification during this study, these changes will be verified.

By Wasatch Crest Team Member Marc T.
Wasatch Crest team member, Marc T, shared his addiction recovery story with us. Read his narrative below.
On July 27, 2009, I checked myself into a little treatment center in Orem, Utah, hoping to find some answers to my substance abuse problem that had been plaguing me for a little under a decade. My life had spun completely out of control as I watched everything of value in my life walk away from me, or just completely disappear as I struggled to keep my head above water. All the while, I told everyone in my circle that I was fine, and my situation wasn’t as bad as it seemed.
Unfortunately for me, I was right, things weren’t as bad as they seemed. They were much, much worse. In August of 2008, the company where I’d worked for nearly a decade let me go. They had written me up multiple times for doing sub-par work and not showing up. It was the first of many important things in my life that I would lose.
My wife of nine years left me in November of 2008 and took our two little daughters with her, four-year-old Brightyn and two-year-old Brynlee. I was in such a mixed-up place when they left me that I actually thought it was a good thing. I was tired of pretending that I wasn’t loaded or drunk when I was. I was also tired of hiding that I was selling drugs to afford my addiction.
My life continued on like that for the next six months or so, until I had a run-in with the law. Everything in my life came to an abrupt halt in the middle of July of 2009. I had left my two little daughters alone one night to get drugs, and I was arrested. I had to tell the cops and my wife, who was no longer living with me, that my girls were home alone in bed as I was headed to jail.
I spent nearly a week in jail and when I was finally let out, I continued to struggle. I decided it was time to do something about my problems. My family had been begging me to go to treatment for a long time, and I finally felt like it was my time. I was exhausted, humiliated, and beaten down by life. I was ready for a change.
I committed to a six-month treatment program. (Ninety days of in-patient and 90 days of out-patient). It was exactly what I needed to re-establish my power to choose and turn myself around.
I had dozens of life-altering experiences while in treatment. I learned that I was not a bad or broken individual. I was just a normal guy who had made a series of bad choices. Those choices put me into situations that I could not get myself out of alone. I learned that there were many people out there who were struggling with substance abuse issues, just like me. Many of these individuals had beaten their addictions and were living great lives. I learned that I didn’t have to fight my demons alone. There was help available and people willing to walk the path of recovery with me.
I was sober and working hard at staying sober. Around Christmas of 2009, my wife, seeing the quality of my sobriety, came back. After 13 months of living apart from each other, my little family was back together. My wife and two daughters moved back in with me into my parent’s basement, while we waited for the right time to move back to our home.
After completing my six-month treatment program, I was trying to decide what I wanted to do for work. The treatment center that I had attended asked me if I was interested in working in the recovery field. It sounded like something I would love to do. They hired me in early 2010.
I have spent over a decade now working in the treatment field. During that time, I’ve helped open treatment centers in Midway and South Jordan. In February of 2020, I joined the Wasatch Crest treatment family, returning to the beautiful Wasatch Valley where the roots of my treatment journey began. I love working in treatment. I love watching individuals whose lives have come off of the track a bit, struggle, and fight to get back on track. I could not imagine myself doing anything else.
In my career, I’ve been lucky to mentor individuals who have become invaluable assets to the recovery community. Many clients and team members that I’ve worked with now hold leadership positions in the substance abuse treatment field. I’m proud of my recovery tree, which includes the owner of one of the state’s largest treatment centers, marketing, and business development professionals, recreational therapy coordinators, program directors, and front-line staff.
In my personal life, my family tree has grown as well. My little family welcomed a son named Brock, who was born after I became sober and has never had to see his dad impaired. When I’m not working, I spend the majority of my time with my family or playing pickleball. We spend countless hours at the ballparks, watching my oldest daughter and son play softball and baseball. Brock also plays football and basketball, and my middle daughter is a dancer. There is never a dull night at our home, and that’s just how we like it.
My addiction didn’t happen to me overnight and neither did recovery come to me overnight. I worked very hard for a very long time to have the quality of recovery that I have today. My favorite quote out of the Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book says, “Adversity truly introduces us to ourselves.” I get the opportunity on a daily basis to see how I react to challenges and notice where I can improve. I am eternally grateful to be alive today and to have the opportunity to continually improve.

Sometimes food can become a bit too complex. Now, there’s nothing wrong with complex, some of the stuff I’ve made up on this blog has been a bit difficult, but sometimes it all gets a bit tiresome. Standing in my kitchen over a long-simmering pot, or separating a handful
of eggs, or prepping the last of a gajillion and one ingredients–that all starts to wear on me after a while. So every now and then, it’s good to revert back to simpler recipes and simpler techniques to keep me from going crazy. And by simpler, I mean using leftovers.
I’ve got enough homemade Longanisa in my freezer to stretch from here to Manila and back, and I’ve been wanting to deplete that supply so that it only reaches Hawaii. That’s a lot of Longanisa to use up. Luckily, this fried squash blossoms post by Wandering Chopsticks set off one of those flickering lightbulb thingies above my head. Except, instead of stuffing squash blossoms full of minced shrimp, like Wandering Chopsticks did, I figured I’d use some of the Longanisa in my freezer.
And, as we are in the last throes of summer here in SoCal, I wanted to
make sure I took advantage of the squash blossoms at the local farmer’s
markets before they were all gone.
Before putting anything in your squash blossoms, you should be sure to give them a gentle rinse, inside and out, as there may be bugs or machete-wielding leprechauns inside them. I rinsed my squash blossoms in the basket of my salad spinner and then gave them a quick spin to dry.
After ridding the squash blossoms of murderous midgets, I thawed out my Longanisa. Now, I didn’t just stuff a link of Longanisa into a squash blossom. I actually removed the casings from a couple of the sausage links and used the ground pork as a stuffing for the squash blossoms. Longanisa served without a casing is referred to as "hubad", and hubad literally translates to "naked". I’m serious. I stuffed blossoms full of naked Filipino sausage.
You don’t want to overstuff your squash blossoms, otherwise the pork may not cook all the way through. A teaspoon of pork per flower is more than enough. After stuffing a squash blossom, gently twist the petals together to seal and to keep the meat from falling out.
After you’ve got all of your blossoms full of naked sausage, dip them in a tempura batter and then fry them in some hot oil. You can prepare a light tempura batter by mixing a cup of rice flour with about 2 cups of soda water. This yields a very thin batter, but results in a very crisp and light texture once fried.
Tempura-battered Squash Blossoms Stuffed with Longanisa:
20 fresh squash blossoms
About 3-4 links of fresh Longanisa (Filipino Sausage), casings removed
1 cup rice flour
2 cups soda water
salt to taste
Rinse and dry the squash blossoms. Stuff each squash blossom with about a teaspoon of pork that was removed from the sausage casings. Gently twist the tops of each squash blossom to seal in the pork.
Place the rice flour in a large mixing bowl, and whisk in the soda water until a thin batter is created. Dip the stuffed squash blossoms into the tempura batter and immediately place in hot oil to fry. Fry squash blossoms 2-3 minutes, until crisp and golden.
Drain fried squash blossoms on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

U.S. Olympian Kim Glass said she suffered a fractured eye socket after a man she believed was homeless attacked her outside of a Los Angeles restaurant.
Glass, a volleyball star who won a silver medal in 2008, shared her story in a video posted to Instagram. Showing visible bruises with her right eye shut by stiches, she said the man assaulted her with a medal object.
The 37-year-old said her vision will be OK, and she thanked friends and family for their support while advising everyone to be careful and mindful of their surroundings.
Onlookers sent their thoughts to Glass following the traumatic event.
Los Angeles mayoral candidate Karen Bass called the incident "a despicable act of violence that has no place in our city."
Another observer called for action to make the streets safer while helping those in need of assistance.
According to KTLA's Tony Kurzweil, the suspect has been identified and arrested. Officers said he's being held without bail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

The Bodoland People's Front (BPF) MLA Durga Das demanded a probe into the killing of Dimbeswar Mushahary in a police encounter.
Speaking to the media, the MLA said, "Encounter is not the only option...and there are laws which can help resort the matter."
"The BPF party never supports encounter and someone to killed without any judgement," he added.
Further, the MLA claimed that if the deceased is proven not guilty then the Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma who is also holding the portfolio of the Home Department must answer the people of Assam.

The MLA also asserted that the police officials who committed the crime of killing a man due to mistaken identity must be punished.
The Udalguri encounter that took place on February 24 was not a case of mistaken identity, according to the police.
The encounter was carried out by the Udalguri police in response to a planned robbery by veteran criminal Kenaram, who was a prime accused in several armed robbery cases with a similar modus operandi.
At around 10:30 am on February 24, two individuals arrived at the spot in a motorbike without a number plate. In pursuit of committing robbery, one of the individuals confronted the police team with a 7.65 mm pistol and fired upon them, causing grievous injury to one police sub-inspector and one constable. The police team retaliated in self-defence, resulting in one of the accused sustaining a bullet injury. The second individual fled the scene on the motorbike.
The injured police officer was rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery to remove a bullet from his right hand. The accused person who sustained a bullet injury was declared brought dead. The police recovered a 7.65 mm pistol, 2 rounds of 7.65 live ammunition, one bullet head, and one empty case from the spot.
The family of the deceased individual claimed that the deceased was Dimbeshwar Muchahary and not Kenaram. However, the police have confirmed that Kenaram Basumutary was the deceased individual and that the encounter was not a case of mistaken identity. Kenaram was a surrendered NDFB cadre and a veteran criminal who was involved in several armed robbery cases.
Dimbeshwar Muchahary, who was also a veteran criminal, had been arrested in several cases, including one where a pistol and one round of 9 mm ammunition were recovered from his house. The family of Dimbeshwar Muchahary has requested the exhumation of the body, and with a positive magisterial order, DNA profiling may be conducted to verify the identity of the deceased.
The police have registered a case under Rowta P.S. Case No. 61/2023 u/s 398/353/333/326/307 IPC r/w 25(1A)/27 of the Arms Act. The last rites of Kenaram Basumutary were conducted in village Natun Panbari, Orang on 24.02.2023, late evening by his family.
The police have reiterated that the encounter was carried out in response to a planned robbery by Kenaram and that it was not a case of mistaken identity. The investigation into the case is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as and when they become available.

I was hooked on her other novel In the Company of The Courtesan set in the 14th century Italy with its plot unfolding mainly in Venezia, a place close to my heart having lived in the Veneto.
However, I am sad to report that Sacred Heart was so slow and was missing a denouement, ending abruptly in the last three pages where the young lovers meet again and there wasn’t any suspense to push along what happens, you’re kind of left hanging.
A pity as as it was interesting, yet the plot was repetitive as if to deliberately drag it on for more pages.
I have little idea of what convent life entails and how punishing it is to live without mortal sins, perhaps the narrative was told in that way to make one drowsy waiting for the plot to unfold. Again, I liked how it was peppered with historical details in time context.
I’ll give it another go and try to get hold of Sarah Dunant’s first best seller “The Birth of Venus”. All the books have very unattractive covers unless Renaissance type art is your thing, which isn’t mine. :)
