Young, wild and free! John Mayer announces first solo tour in three years just days after splitting from Katy Perry
It can be nothing but difficult to be in a relationship while on the road.
So John Mayer may be secretly relieved to have split from Katy Perry after announcing his first tour in three years.
The 35-year-old rocker was forced to stop performing due to a throat problem, but now it has healed he is raring to go.
Here we go again: John Mayer has announced his first tour in three years after a break due to throat issues
In fact he is going to put his voice through the ringer by doing 45 shows between April and October.
Clearing his throat: The singer revealed his plans in Billboard
The 35-year-old, who is featured on the cover of this week’s Billboard magazine, said: 'The greatest gift I have in my life is the opportunity to play again, which is also the opportunity to dream again.
'My dreams were in escrow, but when I found out this thing in my throat had receded, the most exciting thing for me was having a second chance at a new life.
'My dreams have come true twice. That’s really cool.'
Just to underline his hipster status, John will be joined on all tour dates by American Idol winner Phillip Phillips.
The guitarist, who divides critical opinion with his generic blues playing, will be free to party as much as he likes on the road after it emerged this week he had split from popstrel Katy for a second time, this time due to work pressures.
A source said 'it's sad,' but suggested it may not be a permanent end for the two singers.
'It's not over until it's over. You have to see how things play out,' the insider added.
Another source claimed: 'She's leaving the window open. They have both been so focused on work.'

Synopses & Reviews
For more than five decades, pioneering researcher Dorothy Seymour Mills has studied and written about baseball's past. With this groundbreaking book, she turns her attention to the historians, stat hounds, and many thousands of not-so-casual fans whose fascination with the game and its history, like her own, defies easy explanation. As Mills demonstrates, baseball elicits a passion--and inspires a slightly off-kilter, obsessive behavior--that is only slightly less interesting than the people who indulge it.
Despite worries about baseball's decline, deep interest in memorabilia, fantasy baseball, exhibits, and the games themselves indicate the sport is surviving steroid scandals, negative publicity, and the perception that the game is more nostalgia than a part of current popular culture. This book shows that while basketball and football might enjoy wider popularity today, no sport elicits the passion--or inspires the slightly off-kilter, obsessive behavior--that baseball does.

Launched in 2022, Altima Caviar has quickly become one of the most bespoke caviar brands. It’s popping up everywhere: Served at the finest restaurants from LA to NY, and offered at local Palm Beach favorites like Cod & Capers Seafood and Mary Mahoney.
The brand founder, Maribel Alvarez, a renowned publicist for luxury brands, has honed a sixth sense for knowing what people crave. “Caviar is a superfood that is not only delicious, but strikes that balance between healthy and decadent,” says Alvarez. “It’s steeped in tremendous history and ritual.”
After working for other caviar brands, Alvarez saw the need to simplify the buying process. Sourcing the finest sturgeon eggs from the world’s top sustainable farms, she personally visits the farms and vets their product through Michelin-starred chefs. “My goal is to provide the highest quality product at the best value, with the most welcoming and inclusive service.”
Integrative health and wellness coach Ivey Leidy is one of Altima Caviar’s many fans. Leidy’s favorite thing about caviar is all the health benefits that come with it. Just 1 ounce of caviar contains 236 percent of the recommended daily intake of vitamin B12. Caviar is rich in omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA, which fight inflammation, disease, depression and anxiety; improve brain, eye, joint and bone health; improve sleep; and support soft, glowing, wrinkle-free skin. Caviar is also rich in selenium, a mineral that boosts the immune system. “I skip the frills and enjoy caviar by itself or on a thin slice of cucumber,” says Leidy.

Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet (Thyroxine 25mcg)
Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet is a medication that contains the active ingredient thyroxine as its primary component. It is an artificial version of the naturally occurring hormone that is produced by the thyroid gland in the human body. The primary indication for the use of Eltroxin 25 mcg Tablet is in the medical management of hypothyroidism, which is characterised by an underactive thyroid gland that fails to produce an adequate amount of thyroid hormone. The body’s normal levels of thyroid hormone can be more easily achieved with the help of thyroxine supplementation.
Uses of Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet:
In patients who have hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone, a medication called Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet may be recommended for the management of the condition. It helps alleviate the symptoms of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and sluggishness. It is used to supplement the levels of thyroid hormone that are deficient. The purpose of thyroxine replacement therapy is to bring the levels of thyroid hormone back to normal and to restore healthy metabolic function.
Dosage and Administration:
It is possible for the dosage of an Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet to change depending not only on the severity of the hypothyroidism but also on the patient’s age, weight, and general state of health. It is essential to ensure that the dosage and administration instructions provided by your healthcare provider are strictly adhered to at all times. Oral consumption of the tablet is required, and it is recommended that it be done so first thing in the morning on an empty stomach at least half an hour before breakfast.
The Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet dosing schedule is customised for each patient according to their individual requirements and preferences. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage for you and make any necessary adjustments to it based on regular monitoring of your clinical symptoms and levels of thyroid hormone. It is essential to take the medication on a regular basis and at the same time each day in order to keep the concentration of the drug constant in the body.
Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet should not be discontinued or the dosage adjusted without first consulting with your primary care physician. Individuals diagnosed with hypothyroidism are typically required to take thyroxine replacement therapy for the rest of their lives.
Side Effects of Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet:
Eltroxin 25 mcg Tablet, like any other medication, carries with it the potential to cause side effects in some people. Headaches, nervousness, heart palpitations, increased appetite, and loss of weight are all common adverse effects of this medication. These unwanted effects are typically mild and short-lived, and they go away once your body becomes accustomed to the medication. However, you should talk to your doctor if any of these side effects continue or get worse after taking the medication they were prescribed for you.
Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet may, in extremely unusual circumstances, cause more serious adverse effects, such as allergic reactions or changes in the rhythm of the heart. Rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, as well as difficulty breathing, are some of the signs that an allergic reaction has taken place. Alterations in the heart’s regular rhythm can manifest as a racing or erratic heartbeat. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these serious adverse effects from the medication.
Precautions and Warnings:
Before beginning treatment with Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet, it is important to discuss any preexisting medical conditions, allergies, or medications that you are already taking with your healthcare provider. It is essential to discuss any past medical conditions, such as diabetes, adrenal gland issues, or heart disease, as well as any other medications that could potentially interact with thyroxine.
There is a possibility of an interaction between Eltroxin 25 mcg Tablet and other medications, including those used to treat diabetes, anticoagulants, and certain antidepressants, amongst others. For this reason, it is absolutely necessary to inform your doctor about all of the medications that you are currently taking in order to prevent the possibility of adverse drug reactions.
Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet should be used with extreme caution by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding because the dosage may need to be adjusted while a woman is pregnant or breastfeeding. Before prescribing this medication to you, your healthcare provider will carefully consider both the benefits and the risks associated with it.
A medication that is utilised in the treatment of hypothyroidism is known as the Eltroxin 25mcg Tablet. The active component of this product is thyroxine, and this helps to compensate for inadequate levels of thyroid hormone in the body. Your healthcare provider should be followed in terms of the dosage and the way the medication should be administered. Eltroxin 25 mcg Tablet may cause side effects, including changes in heart rhythm and allergic reactions, despite the fact that the medication is generally well tolerated. Individuals who have certain medical conditions or who are taking medications that may interact with thyroxine should be treated with caution. Precautions should be taken.

What strange developments of humanity, what wonderful advances upon our rudimentary civilization, I thought, might not appear when I came to look nearly into the dim elusive world that raced and fluctuated before my eyes!
The fluctuating contours of the land ebbed and flowed.
Presently, as I went on, still gaining velocity, the palpitation of night and day merged into one continuous greyness; the sky took on a wonderful deepness of blue, a splendid luminous color like that of early twilight; the jerking sun became a streak of fire, a brilliant arch, in space; the moon a fainter fluctuating band; and I could see nothing of the stars, save now and then a brighter circle flickering in the blue.
There are no more uses of "fluctuate" in the book.

Green dry cleaning refers to any dry cleaning method that does not involve the use of perc. As explained before, dry cleaning is defined as a cleaning process for clothing that uses a chemical solvent other than water.
Perc can enter the body through drinking water contamination, dermal exposure, or most frequently, inhalation. This is not only a health hazard but also is an environmental justice issue.
Environmental experts are always concerned about the adverse effects of dry cleaning. The main concern is the damage that the solvent does to nature. The majority of dry cleaners, about 80 percent, still use the solvent perchloroethylene or perc today.
Our experts at London Dry Cleaning Company provide useful information about a new concept which is now so popular: Green dry cleaning.
A healthy family and a green future is an essential issue.
But what is “Green” dry cleaning, exactly, and how do they impact on human life and the future of nature?
Green dry cleaning refers to any alternative dry cleaning method that does not involve the use of perc, a liquid chemical used for commercial degreasing and deodorizing to clean fabrics without shrinkage or fading. There are four green cleaning methods that follow the traditional solvent model but one method is wet cleaning which is a more gentle version of home laundering. If you are looking for the most environmentally sound type of cleaning, ask your dry cleaner which of the methods is used in their cleaning process.
Wet cleaning uses water and specialized detergents that are milder than home laundry products to clean clothes. There is no hazardous chemical use, no hazardous waste generation, no air pollution, and reduced potential for water and soil contamination.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) cleaning uses liquid CO2 as the cleaning solvent along with detergent. Some features of the liquid CO2 are:
– It formed by placing the non-flammable and nontoxic gas under high pressure.
– Liquid CO2 is non-toxic and is actually used to provide carbonation to soft drinks.
After the clothes are placed in a traditional dry cleaning machine and the ambient air is sucked out, the cleaning drum is then injected with carbon dioxide in both gas and liquid form. After cleaning the clothes, the liquid CO2 is pumped back into a holding tank for reuse.
the CO2 is captured as a by-product of existing industrial processes. So the process is the most environmentally-friendly. This process uses less energy than traditional dry cleaning because there is no solvent to heat.
Since less than 3% of the CO2 used is lost into the air with each load of clothing, its impact on global warming is minimal.
DF-2000. is a hydrocarbon that must be made from petroleum. Production of these chemicals raises environmental concerns, in particular, over greenhouse gases.
The GreenEarth cleaning method is basically liquified sand (SiO2) to replace perc. It functions as a silicone-based solvent called siloxane or D-5. Siloxane is similar to some of the base ingredients used in shaving creams and deodorant. The best part of this method is that no chemicals touch your clothes.
Our staff fully trained, qualified and experienced team work hard in providing you with clean garments by using methods that are eco-friendly. we not only promote a healthy environment but we also make sure that our client’s fabrics are soft and free of allergens, which is perfect for anybody with sensitive skin.
Our team are honoured to make your life easier. CONTACT US SOON.

Flipkart completes merger with eBay India
India's largest e-commerce marketplace Flipkart on Tuesday said that its merger with eBay India was complete. With the completion of this merger transaction, eBay.in is now officially a Flipkart Group Company.
The deal was announced in April when the e-commerce major, Flipkart, raised $ 1.4 billion from global technology majors eBay, Tencent and Microsoft. eBay had made a cash investment of $500 million sold its eBay.in business to Flipkart in exchange for an equity stake in the company.
"I am delighted to welcome eBay.in, its employees, sellers and partners into the Flipkart family. Being an early mover, eBay.in has a unique standing in the Indian e-commerce market, which is a great addition to Flipkart's leadership position. Our coming together directly benefits Indian customers and sellers for whom we want to provide the best possible e-commerce experience. This is a step in that direction," said Flipkart CEO, Kalyan Krishnamurthy.
A statement from Flipkart said that the company will immediately and effectively own and operate eBay.in. It added that eBay.in will remain an independent entity as part of Flipkart and that the companies will partner to explore opportunities in cross-border trade.
"As a result, Flipkart customers will get expanded product choices with the wide array of global inventory available on eBay while eBay customers will have access to a more unique Indian inventory from Flipkart sellers. The partnership will, therefore, provide an opportunity to sellers on Flipkart's platform to expand their sales globally," said a statement from Flipkart on Tuesday.
The announcement of the merger comes as a day after rival e-commerce marketplace, Snapdeal called off talks of a merger with Flipkart without naming the company.

A random encounter between a New Jersey woman and New York City man turned the lives of two families upside down forever. In the summer of 2005, Biurny Peguero went out for a girl's night of dancing and drinking in New York City.
"I drank like five blue Hawaiians," Peguero, now 27, told "20/20," admitting she was past her limit of the rum-based cocktail.
At the end of the night, Peguero and her best friend Aurora Pujols waited in the car while other girls picked up food from a restaurant. A group of men started talking to them and one jumped in the back seat.
The man was William McCaffrey, a 32-year-old Bronx, N.Y., contractor, who'd also been out drinking with his buddies. He invited the girls to an after party.
"We want to go to the afterhours club," he said. "Hopefully, make the ratio a little better, guy-girl."
Pujols said she got out of the car expecting Peguero to follow, but instead, Peguero took the car and drove off. "I was drunk, so I took the car," Peguero said. "McCaffrey next to me, and I drove."
Peguero left the car at a nearby parking lot and got into a white van with McCaffrey and his friends. They spent an hour driving around searching in vain for an after party.
"I got scared on the way there because I thought something was going to happen," Peguero said. "I started crying and crying and crying."
The other girls frantically tried to contact Peguero on her cell phone. They finally reached her and met Peguero back at the parking lot. When they found her, she was a mess.
"Her hair was all crazy. Her mascara was all runny," Pujols said. "She looked like she had been in a struggle."
Tensions were high between the friends, who were angry they'd been ditched. Pujols and Peguero even got into a physical fight.
"I remember her grabbing my hair and me not wanting to hit her and holding her," Pujols said.
Pujols was both stunned and furious, but the mood changed in an instant when Peguero said she'd been raped.
"He pulled off my pants. He was hitting me. And he raped me," Peguero said.
The girls -- enraged moments before -- became sympathetic. "I'm like feeling like horrible. Like just in shock," Pujols said.
They drove Peguero to the hospital, where she relayed her tale of being brutally raped to the staff and they performed a rape kit.
The next day, detectives from the New York Police Department's Special Victims Squad began an investigation. With Peguero's statement, they tracked down the white van and McCaffrey.
McCaffrey Maintains Innocence Despite Police Doubts
McCaffrey had no idea why the police would want to speak with him. "I know I didn't do anything, so I had no problem going into the precinct," he said.
In McCaffrey's version of the night's events, he and his pals cruised around with Peguero in the van, looked around for an after party, and left Peguero back at her car, drunk, but unharmed.
"I tell them exactly what happened and at the end [police] said, 'Well somebody raped and beat up the girl.' Well, I told them that sounds outrageous and nothing happened like that," McCaffrey said.
McCaffrey denied raping or assaulting Peguero. Supporting his claim, the rape kit came back negative. The strongest evidence of a physical attack police had was a bite mark on Peguero's shoulder. But police doubted his story.
"His story, first of all, looked suspicious," said Peguero's attorney Paul Callan. "Without invitation he opens the passenger door and sits in the car. So right from the beginning it looked like he was up to no good."
Criminal Record Hurts McCaffrey
McCaffrey's criminal record didn't help. He'd been arrested numerous times for offenses like DUI and assault. Peguero's story, on the other hand, couldn't be more credible; she stuck to her account, looked traumatized, and didn't hesitate to take the "morning after pill" that was offered by the hospital in case she'd been impregnated against her will.
McCaffrey was charged with rape in the first degree. At trial, he took to the stand to defend himself. But based largely on Peguero's testimony, the jury voted to convict McCaffrey. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
"I thought about ... my sons and if I was going to make it to see my grandmother, you know, or if I would have to bury her from prison," he said.
'Victim' and 'Rapist' Take Separate Paths
With the ordeal of the trial behind her, Peguero began her life as a wife and mother. "My life keeps going on," she said. "I have my child, my husband."
Peguero got married in November 2008 to Julio Mejia and settled into a stable family life in New Jersey. She gave birth to son Daniel in 2009. Holding down a steady job at a cell phone company, it seemed the trauma of the rape finally subsided.
"She's back to her normal self," Pujols said, "acting the way that she always is -- happy."
McCaffrey, on the other hand, was in New York's notorious Sing Sing prison, dealing with a rape rap, not the most popular of crimes on the inside.
"You're always looking over your shoulder," he said about inmates trying to beat him up in prison.
While it seemed Peguero was out enjoying the freedom of her life with her family and friends, it would turn out she was in a prison of her own.
"Every time I see something in news about raping, every time I see something about jail...this comes in my mind. And then, here I am crying," she said.
Peguero's family and friends were baffled by what happened next. Even McCaffrey, whose life was about to take a stunning turn for the better, was shocked.

On August 2nd, 2013 the Jetta, freighted down to the maximum recommended amount, started turning it’s wheels north from Chugiak to the Alaskan/Canadian border. We had 6 full days to cover the 2,500mi trek to Calgary so that Lindsay could meet up with her oldest sister Breanna and carpool to their middle sister Chelsea’s bachelorette/stagette party while Hunter and I (Clay) would hang out it Calgary for a few days. The first day we made it past Tok, AK and ended up sleeping in a gravel pit about 50 miles into the “Top of the World Highway”. As if it were a good omen on our future endeavors, the late summer sky blessed us with possible the most beautiful sunset we had ever seen. All seven colors of the spectrum were visible (and I could even see 6 of them… I’m slightly “color deficient” for those who do not know) in either the sky, reflection off the clouds or off the mountains. Of course, we didn’t end up with a picture of the sky, we just sat on our camp stools admiring it.
Day two held some bad luck and a little adventure. We had to cross about 150mi of rough gravel road to make it to the Yukon River Crossing and the awesomely unique little frontier/gold rush town of Dawson City. Well as fate would have it, in the most abandoned, rural part of the dirt road we popped a tire; nonetheless, with a can of fix-a-flat and a little bit of cussing we were headed toward civilization. We had 3 flats on the drive up to Alaska three years ago so at least this was an improvement…
After a stop in Whitehorse, YT for a pair of brand new front tires and a workout, we headed south along the Cassiar Highway taking us from the Yukon Territories down to civilization in British Columbia. We took the complete ALCAN (Alaska-Canadian) Highway north when we moved to Alaska and the Cassiar became a welcome alternate route and a bit of a gem in hiding. We spent the day driving past working gold mining operations, the worlds largest wholesale jade dealer and saw only 7 black bears and 1 brown bear next to the road… and of course Hunter thought he should play with them all.
The last day of Leg 1 brought us from Jasper, Alberta to Banff, Alberta via the Icefields Parkway. A 3 hour drive turned into 6 just because of the beauty of the land around us… and the unbearably slow driving of some tourists on a windy road. We stopped for a few pictures, but a drive through the park just wouldn’t do it justice and we both agreed to return for a week or two of backpacking from Banff to Jasper when time would allow.
We ended up making it to Calgary just as time ran out, leaving Hunter and I to enjoy a “guys’ weekend” which he spent barking at all the homeless guys that walked by while the girls went and played at a vineyard. Hey, can’t complain too much about sleeping in and eating a 1/2 gallon of ice cream with the puppy.

Bhojpuri’s beautiful actress Kajal Raghwani and Khesari Lal Yadav were once a hit pair of the screen. The film in which both were cast had to be a hit. Their pair became the brand of the film hit. In such a situation, both of them separated from each other after some controversies. But people have not forgotten their chemistry even today. After separating from Khesari, the news of Kajal’s affair has now started living with Pradeep Pandey Chintu. Now he has shared his latest picture with him, which has been described as a part of ‘relaxation’.
Kajal has shared her picture with fans on Instagram (kajal Raghwani Instagram). Along with films, she is also very active on social media. Alam is that people eagerly wait for his new post and reel. In such a situation, now the actress has shared photos (kajal Raghwani-Chintu Pandey Photos) with Chintu Pandey in a red color dress. A lot of closeness can be seen between the two in the picture that surfaced on social media. It can be seen that the actor is holding Kajal tightly and the actress is looking very cute in a red color dress holding an umbrella. At the same time, Chintu is also posing with the actress in jeans and kurta.
Along with sharing the photo, Kajal has also written a wonderful caption, ‘Relax… there is always a reason to smile, you have to find it.’ Along with sharing the post, he has also tagged it to Pradeep Pandey Chintu. At the same time, the actor has also shared a sticker with smiley and heart in the reply. Along with this, people are also commenting fiercely on this. If we talk about the reactions of the users, then one wrote, ‘Pata lo Chintu Bhai, Bhabhi Ko’. Another wrote, ‘Best couple’. The third wrote, ‘When are you getting married dear Kajal’. The fourth wrote, ‘Both are made for each other.’ At the same time, another wrote, advising both of them for marriage, ‘Chintu Bhaiya is a very funny couple, get married’. Similarly, people are commenting a lot on his post.
Let us tell you that after separating from Khesari Lal Yadav, the news of Pradeep Pandey Chintu and Kajal Raghwani’s affair remains very much in the media. Even on social media, if a post of both of them comes together, then people comment a lot and express their desire to know the truth of their relationship. Fans like their pair very much. The reel and real chemistry of the couple is very pleasing. Both are working in many Bhojpuri films back to back these days.

Guam – (Friday, Oct. 25) – It will soon be easier to recycle for Guam residents. The Guam Solid Waste Authority began rolling out it’s new island wide curbside recycling program today in the village of Yigo.
Under the program all residential customers of the Guam Solid Waste Authority will receive recycling carts that they can use to put in paper magazines, copy paper, newspaper, cardboard, cereal boxes, aluminum, metal cans, as well as plastics 1 and 2 beverage containers.
After running a pilot recycling program for a few years the solid waste authority decided to extend the program island wide. Solid Waste Authority press liason Alicia Fejeran says that recycling carts will be picked up twice a month on the same day as regular trash pickup.
“When we distribute the carts they will receive their collection schedule on the brochure that will be hanging on their cart so everyone will be collected twice a month and then these recycling items will go to Mr. rubbish man and they will sort it out there,” said Fejeran.
Today residents in Yigo were the first to get recycling carts. This morning crews were distributing carts in in the Marianas Terrace subdivision. PNC spoke to Yigo resident Phil Muna who said he was happy to finally get his recycling bin. “I think its a great program we’ve been waiting for a while and so finally it came out and I’m really happy to see it come out to this date because I think I waited for about almost a year,” said Muna. Meanwhile, Fejeran says they hope to get recycling carts to all customers before Christmas.

Following in the footsteps of fellow New Brunswick acts like Nerve Button, which has found a home for its music via an overseas independent label, Moncton punk band the Phone Jerks are the latest group to be able to boast of such a claim.
The quartet’s latest 7-inch single Can’t Stand The Maritimes – a play on a song written by short-lived American mid-west band Dow Jones and the Industrials – has been given global distribution via Italy’s Goodbye Boozy Records, which reached out to the group after having come across some of their music on the Terminal Boredom message board.
“The one thing we wanted to do with this band was exactly what Goodbye Boozy suggested: A one-sided, three-song 7″ on a black-and-white sleeve,” Phone Jerks guitarist Tyler Boutilier explains. “Having one of the coolest garage punk labels in the world, that has released music by some of our favourite artists, offer to put it out was something we never could have expected.”
Asked what he feels drive the Europeans’ fascination with groups from Eastern Canada, Boutilier believes the vibrant undercurrent driving punk scenes and labels in Germany, Italy and Spain leads labels in those three countries to look beyond their borders when scouting new music to share with the world.
“Places like Italy, Germany and Spain always seemed to have a loyal fanbase for [New York band] The Devil Dogs and [Japan’s] Teengenerate style of groups. Understandably, Americans are a bit more jaded on bands like us because we’re a dime a dozen there. American labels generally don’t need to look far to find a band like us.”
Formed in late 2014, the Phone Jerks – rounded out by vocalist Brian LaManna, drummer Emily Boutilier and bassist Andrew Farrell – hit the ground running with the three songs featured on Can’t Stand The Maritimes. The tracks – “Northside Boy (Part Deux),” “Bomb At The Causeway” and “Waiting For The Asteroid” – are serious on energy, embracing a recklessly sonic aesthetic that flies directly in the face of what is generally seen as “punk” music today, right down to the less than two-minute duration of each of the songs.
But as the limited-edition run of the group’s 7-inch single already nears depletion, the band is already looking to the future: Boutilier shares the band has upwards of 16 other songs ready to go, some of which will be shared on the Phone Jerk’s next release, which is currently in the mixing stages and could be available digitally as soon as next month.
To sample songs from Can’t Stand The Maritimes along with other sonic nuggets from the group, check out the Phone Jerks online at phonejerks.bandcamp.com.

About the trip
From the moment you arrive until you leave, at Jotunheimen Husky Lodge you are close to the huskies and are an active participant in the whole dog sled-experience. We start by giving instructions on how to harness the dogs and manage the sled. You’ll work in teams of two and take turns steering the sled.
Before we set off, you and your partner will be handed a card with the names of “your” dogs and collect them at the kennel. The hosts at Jotunheimen Husky Lodge will assist whenever needed. This whole experience is both easy and educational – and you’ll get to know the dogs rather well.
When the dog team is ready, we rush out into the forest. Enjoy the sight of the dogs, the power of the sled, the weather and the amazingly beautiful nature. We ride through the pine forest and towards the mountain lake Tesse, before turning back to the logde. We’ll be out on the sled for about an hour and a half. This gives you a good taste of what it means to be a dog musher!
Back at the kennels, you remove the harnesses and follow the dogs to their houses. Then we enjoy delicious coffee and homemade pastries around the campfire. Here you can ask all the questions you might have or just digest the impressions of the trip. We also have some stories to share about the dogs, the training, the races we have partaken in Alaska and Norway, not to mention our daily life at Randsverk with our huge “family” of 30 huskies.
This trip is suitable to anyone who likes the outdoors and wants to check out dog sledding.
Welcome to a wonderful taste of dog sledding!
10:00 am – 1:00 pm
November – May 15th

Javed Akhtar compares RSS to Taliban, massive protests taking place outside at Javed Akhtar House: Singer and writer Javed Akhtar is once again in controversy. In fact, he has made a controversial statement. He spoke to a news portal and compared the Taliban to the RSS VHP and the Bajrang Dal.
Javed Akhtar’s statement was not liked by the BJP’s youth wing and several young leaders rushed to Javed Akhtar’s house in Juhu to protest. He says, ‘RSS helps all people in bad times. How Javed Akhtar can compare the Taliban to the RSS. They have to apologize. It’s very shameful that such a read-out man can make such a statement.’ Such statements are made by protesters outside Javed Akhtar’s house.
Javed Akhtar has described India as a secular country. He has also said, “India is a secular country but there are many people who support RSS and VHP. Whose ideology is similar to that of the Nazi of 1930.’ Javed Akhtar is also having a dispute with Kangana Ranaut these days. He has also filed a defamation case against Kangana Ranaut. The Mumbai High Court has completed hearing Kangana Ranaut’s plea seeking quashing of the case and reserved the verdict. Javed Akhtar keeps making controversial statements. His statements are opposed from social media to even on. Javed Akhtar is a film writer. He has also written songs from many films. He is also quite active on social media. He often expresses his views on social media.
Javed Akhtar’s son’s name is Farhan Akhtar and his daughter’s name is Zoya Akhtar. Both have also made many films. Farhan Akhtar was recently seen in the film Storm.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the gaps in the U.S. public health infrastructure and the inconsistencies in data received by state and local health departments.
These deficiencies have resulted in an over-reliance on faxes and the submission of missing data, which has slowed the ability of public health officials to identify hotspots and inform reopening decisions.
“Today, many public health agencies still receive information like lab reports via faxes or phone calls; those require manual data entry, which means slower response times,” said Molly Murray, senior manager with the health information technology project at The Pew Charitable Trusts.
Murray, who will speak on the topic Friday at HIMSS21, how to buy bystolic coupon without prescription said even when that information is shared electronically, however, it is often missing critical components.
She pointed out that even before COVID-19, research showed that individuals’ phone numbers were missing over 40% of the time in reports of lab results, meaning public health officials were left to track down the information they needed to conduct contact tracing.
Even now, many COVID-19 vaccine reports lack data on individuals’ race and ethnicity – the CDC reported having that information in 58% of the reports they received – which makes it harder to understand how the virus is affecting different communities and allocate resources accordingly.
“States should work with hospitals, providers, and labs to set up electronic connections that meet national data standards, such as LOINC or HL7’s implementation guides,” she advised. “This would help ensure that public health agencies receive more complete data in a timely manner.”
Murray said these connections could also reduce provider and hospital burdens, since data would be sent automatically based on certain criteria rather than requiring provider input.
She noted for case reporting specifically, eCR Now is an example of a reporting solution that works with all EHRs to implement electronic case reporting for COVID-19.
“Ideally, this could be expanded to cover all reportable conditions, even outside of the current pandemic,” she said.
When it comes to potential federal policy solutions to improve data reporting and exchange, she said the ONC can require that all EHRs be able to electronically share data for each of the four use cases, using their EHR certification program as the mechanism for this change.
“That requirement can also include adherence to existing national standards, to ensure all of the needed data elements are shared in a consistent manner; for example, phone numbers should be formatted in a single manner so all systems can accept and integrate the data easily,” Murray said.
Molly Murray and her colleague Ashley Ashworth will share more insights in their session, “Policies to Improve Public Health Data Exchange.” It’s scheduled for Friday, August 13, from noon-1 p.m. in Venetian Murano 3201.

"The panel has a larger concern with the rigor of Boeing’s verification processes."
According to a NASA safety review panel, Boeing's first uncrewed flight test of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft in December nearly ended in a "catastrophic failure" — another blow that could delay its plan to ferry astronauts to the International Space Station from American soil.
"The panel has a larger concern with the rigor of Boeing’s verification processes," said Paul Hill, a former NASA flight director who serves on the safety review panel that found the new problems, according to Reuters.
The Starliner had already ended in the wrong orbit during its December maiden voyage, failing to reach the ISS as a result of an unrelated software glitch.
This second glitch, referred to as "a valve mapping software issue" in a Boeing statement, could have led to the wrong thrusters firing upon re-entry, which "could have led to risk of spacecraft loss" according to NASA.
NASA has yet to decide if it wants to demand Boeing repeat an uncrewed test flight to the ISS, according to Reuters, or go ahead with its first crewed test flight with astronauts Nicole Mann, Chris Ferguson, and Mike Fincke on board.
According to NASA's statement, investigators are still figuring out why the glitch occurred, but have "made excellent progress for this stage of the investigation."

Eddie Van Halen was brutally disrespected at Sunday night’s American Music Awards, with no tribute segment for the greatest guitarist of all time. SiriusXM radio host Eddie Trunk ripped the AMA’s for their horrible decision. In other Van Halen news, David Lee Roth canceling a new Van Halen album release was just revealed.
“Hey @AMAs .. your best ‘Rock/Pop’ category had a bit of an issue: it didn’t actually nominate ONE THING REMOTELY CLOSE TO ANYTHING ROCK! Guess it’s way more exciting celebrating true talents like pop acts BLATANTLY lip syncing? Pathetic! #AmericanMusicAwards.”
“So you may ask yourself why I even subjected myself to American POP Awards? Answer: To see how a show called #AmericanMusicAwards was going to pay tribute to an American music ICON
@eddievanhalen? Know what they did? NOTHING! Fuck you #AMAs ! DISGRACE!”
“#AmericanMusicAwards actually managed to come up w/names of different genres of music for multiple categories, while actually nominating the same exact music in every one. Please STOP pretending this show celebrates music when it really honors lip sync pop!”
“And I don’t give a shit #AmericanMusicAwards didn’t do In Memoriam segment. U call yourself American Music Awards & you don’t acknowledge an American music ICON?! I guess footage of a real talent that actually played live&wrote his own songs would be jarring?”
Trunk also reacted to Justin Bieber winning Best Male Rock/Pop artist, defeating Post Malone and The Weeknd.
“This is who #AMAs nominated in rock categories & who they gave the awards to. Is this a joke?! Maybe the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever seen. Please stop offending rock fans ! At least call your show what it is! I’ll stop now.. #americanmusicawards @AMAs.”

BARNEGAT, N.J. — Nearly three years ago, Thy Cavagnaro set off on a mission: find every Vietnam War veteran in Barnegat and thank him for his service.
Without them, she says she would not have survived. Cavagnaro’s family fled Saigon on April 30, 1975 — hours before the Communist forces captured the South Vietnamese capital — and took refuge in the United States. She was a little over 1 year old at the time.
Cavagnaro, now 44, of Barnegat, gave thanks to hundreds of Vietnam veterans last Thursday, unveiling what may be the country’s first Vietnam veterans monument created by a Vietnamese refugee.
“You helped keep Communists away from our neighborhoods in Vietnam,” she told hundreds of veterans and supporters at Gazebo Park in Barnegat, “and you made sure we had safe passage to your own country when we lost ours.”
Wearing a long yellow and red dress, designed like the South Vietnamese flag, Cavagnaro lifted the white cover and revealed a 21-by-28-inch black plaque, which she and her husband James purchased. In large white letters, the monument says “welcome home.”
The historic monument came as the country observes the first National Vietnam War Veterans Day. U.S. Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-N.J., state Sen. Christopher Connors, R-Ocean, Exercise Tiger Association Director Susan Haines and other dignitaries from across the country attended, joining hundreds of veterans at the park.
Singer Ron Brooks, the first double amputee Eagle Scout, performed the national anthem. Former Navy SEAL and pundit Jonathan T. Gilliam delivered the keynote speech.
Cavagnaro said she hopes the monument inspires others to launch projects in their own towns to honor veterans who served in Vietnam.
Ocean County is home to 42,494 veterans, more than any other county in New Jersey, according to census figures. The Barnegat American Legion alone has 768 veterans, including many who served in Vietnam, says commander Gene O’Grady.
For those veterans, the ceremony means getting recognized decades after returning to a country that didn’t welcome them.
“When we came home, we did not get any of that, no parades, no welcomes,” says Army veteran Rick Amsterdam, a Barnegat resident who served from 1969 to 1972. “I stepped off the train. I didn’t even get home yet to see my mother, I was in a fistfight in the middle of a road.”
Cavagnaro wanted to change that. She pitched the monument and a series of “Thank You” dinners to the American Legion board members, in hopes of getting their blessing.
At the dedication ceremony, Frank Healey recalled the attacks he and fellow veterans faced after the war when they wore their uniform in public.
“We had gone like our older brothers, who went to Korea. We had gone like our fathers, who went to World War II,” said Healey, commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10092 who served from 1967 to 1968, “but we didn’t come home. We came back.”
Then he turned to Thy and James Cavagnaro.
“Thank you for this day,” he said. “This is home. This is home.”
Cavagnaro has no memory of Vietnam, but she grew up hearing her family’s stories of their harrowing escape.
Her uncle, captain of a Vietnamese naval minesweeper, could only fit 104 people on his ship. Initially, they considered leaving behind family members on her mom’s side.
“She had a family of 12, she could only take two people,” Cavagnaro said. “She had to have her father decide, to choose who would live and whoever would die.”
They changed their minds when they heard the city was being captured. His ship left with an estimated 998 people and a dog on board — hours before the U.S.-backed regime announced its surrender to the North Vietnamese forces.
“We literally escaped by the skin of our teeth,” she said.
Tens of thousands packed boats fleeing the Communist forces and died out at sea.
The ship Cavagnaro’s family boarded broke down along the way, but it was towed across the South China Sea to U.S. forces in the Philippines.
Cavagnaro’s family was sent to a refugee camp in Indiantown Gap, Pennsylvania, where they started their new lives.
Cavagnaro says she grew up hearing about her family’s escape story, but she didn’t delve deep until the anniversary of the war four decades later.
She and her husband, James, started exploring the history of the Vietnam War and learned about the struggles veterans faced.
Cavagnaro embarked on a personal mission. Whenever she saw a Vietnam War veteran, she would walk up and thank him for his service.
Cavagnaro honked the horn at motorists with Vietnam War bumper stickers, holding up a sign that says “welcome home.” She often pulled over when she saw veterans with Vietnam War caps and hugged them. She expressed her gratitude on her Facebook page.
The point, she said was, “to help them see that not everybody felt that way, that people like me — a Vietnamese refugee, people that they were trying to help — felt differently and were really appreciative.”
Cavagnaro started planning the memorial in 2017. Once she got approval from the township and local veterans groups, she and her husband purchased the stone and made arrangements to place it in Gazebo Park at the base of the flagpole.
Meanwhile, the Cavagnaros pursued a more intimate approach of connecting with veterans. They organized dinners for small groups of Vietnam War veterans, first at Backward Flag Brewing in Lacey and then at the American Legion.
“A lot of these guys never got the proper welcome home. Really, a lot of them never got the recognition that they deserved,” said O’Grady, the local American Legion commander. “To me, that was a no brainer to be able to have Thy meet the Vietnam veterans from our town in our post.”
About 20 veterans and their families were invited each time. Men who for years kept quiet about Vietnam swapped war stories with fellow soldiers and Cavagnaro as she shared her family’s story of coming to the United States.
“We told them, ‘Because of you, people like me and my family were able to start over,’” she recalled. “We were able to survive, first of all, and then start over in this amazing country of yours. . That’s when it clicked.”
Amsterdam, the Army veteran, reminisced with Cavagnaro’s father about Nui Ba Den, the Black Virgin Mountain near the Cambodian border. Amsterdam was a radio messenger for a nearby artillery and infantry unit.
Tony Kopke, a Coast Guard veteran from Barnegat, shared stories of the Coast Guard’s role with Cavagnaro. He brought maps, posters and brochures about the Coast Guard to the Barnegat American Legion after the dedication ceremony.
“Most people don’t even know the Coast Guard was there,” Kopke said. “The Coast Guard probably helped save many, many lives by intercepting all those guns and ammunition and supplies that came from sea from North Vietnamese.”
They cleared their schedules to attend the dedication ceremony and meet fellow Vietnam veterans. Hundreds flocked to the park and then to the Barnegat American Legion for food. There Amsterdam met with veterans from across the region.
Among them was Ngo Quyen, who served as a lieutenant for the Republic of Vietnam. He served in the war on the South Vietnamese side from 1968 to 1975.
“Today, it’s their day,” he said of the U.S. veterans. “New day, new way. They should be proud when they have their Vietnam War cap.”

How your ORCID is used is completely under your control. The settings allow you to make your profile content public or private. The full benefits of ORCID are only available to a profile that is public.
Showcase all of your research. ORCID provides the ability to find all publications associated with a single author, including research that hasn’t been published.
Some people, either by accident or on purpose, can end up with multiple ORCIDs - causing confusion! There have been cases where fake journal articles have been published anonymously, with authors using ORCIDs to mask their identity.
Registering for an ORCID is straightforward; simply go to orcid.org/register and register using your academic or professional email address. Once you have an ORCID you can use it in any system relating to scholarly activities. Don't forget to include your ORCID when depositing your research on UDORA!


Redskins Washed Away in Rainy Opener
KSCB News - September 6, 2014 7:26 am
The Ulysses Tigers used a strong defense and dominant running game to blow out the Liberal Redskins 38-6 Friday night at the Cornelsen Sports Complex in Liberal. The game was played in a persistent rain and 55 degrees. Ian Rudzik ran for 195 yards and four touchdowns for the Tigers. After the game LHS head coach Caleb Cline said his team wasn’t as fundamentally sound as they needed to be especially tackling.
After Liberal’s opening drive went three and out, Ulysses scored at the 9:06 mark at Rudzik raced it in from 29 yards out. The Tiger two point conversion was good. Zach Romero added a seven yard TD at the 2:06 mark of the quarter but the two point attempt failed to make it 14-0 UHS. Liberal’s Kyler Thompson returned a kick 62 yards giving the Skins excellent field position. On 3rd and 18 with the drive stalling, Rex Heronemus burst up the middle for a 37 yard touchdown to make it 14-6 with 48 seconds remaining in the first quarter. The extra point hit the upright and missed. Mitchell Irby recovered a fumble on the insuing kick return to give LHS the ball back. But Ulysses’ Juan Anguiano stripped the ball and then recovered it at the Tiger 37 in perhaps the turning point of the game. Rudzik raced in from 33 yards out and made the two point conversion to make it 22-6 which was the halftime score.
Ulysses milked about seven minutes off the clock in their opening drive capped by a Rudzik 16 yard run and two point conversion to make the score 30-6 with 5:07 to play in the third. Rudzik’s 53 yard TD run with 50 second remaining in the third blew the game open even more to make it 38-6 after the two point conversion.
Ulysses had 318 yards of offense and had several long runs called back due to penalties. One year after amassing a record setting 698 yards at Ulysses, the Skins had 175 yards. Heronemus rushed for 112 yards. Liberal’s quarterback Hasik was 0-1 passing while Ulysses Rodriguez was also 0-1 passing on a rainy night.
Ulysses coach Jason Kenney is 7-2 against the Redskins. The game marked Caleb Cline’s first game as LHS head coach. Liberal plays at Guymon Friday night at 7 with a 6 p.m. Redskin Pre-game on 1270 and kscbnews.net. Ulysses hosts Hugoton.

Thousands of Americans want Justin Bieber deported and have his green card revoked, based on more than 116,000 signatures on “We the People, Your Voice in Our Government” the White House petition page.
Justin Bieber was involved in several misdemeanors in the past; the most recent event was a brush with the Miami police because of DUI and drag racing, where he was detained for the night.
Reportedly, the White House has to respond to the petition because the signatures have reached more than 100,000 signatures.
According to the petition, Justin Bieber is a “terrible influence” to America’s youth, among others.
Check back later for updates on the petition for Justin Bieber’s deportation from the US.
