United Airlines Announces A New 'Visit Micronesia' Airfare Package
Discover The Magic of Micronesia’s Kosrae Village for less in 2013
Kosrae Village, an eco-lodge and dive resort located on Kosrae Island offers guests a truly authentic island experience, and at an incredible value for those that take advantage of United Airlines new special airfare package. Guests of Kosrae Village enjoy accommodations in traditional Kosraen “lohms”, or cottages that were built by local craftsmen using sustainable building practices and materials.
Travelers sleep just steps from ocean’s edge in elevated, palm-thatched cottages. Nestled beneath mangrove, pandanus, and palm trees, accommodations, a PADI 5-star dive center, and the island’s top restaurant are connected by candlelit pathways. In addition to world-class diving, guests can enjoy hiking to ancient ruins or through the island’s lush jungles, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, snorkeling and more.
The potential savings for travelers who choose to book United’s special Visit Micronesia fare are large. Details for booking the Visit Micronesia airfare are as follows:
• Visit Micronesia fare is available for ticketing Dec 1, 2012 – March 31, 2014
• It can be used for travel beginning February 14, 2013.
• Travelers cannot live in the Micronesia region. (i.e. The Commonwealth of the Marianas, Guam, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands or Hawaii).
• The ticket must be purchased outside of the Micronesia region and must be purchased before the trip begins
• Travel on United or United Express must begin outside of the Micronesia region.
• The ticket number for the trip to Guam or Hawaii must be cross referenced on the Visit Micronesia ticket
• The Visit Micronesia fare provides a discount fare with multiple stops (2 – 5 islands, depending on the ticket purchased) for travel to the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, CNMI and Palau. The turnaround island is included in the number of stops.
• The first stop must be scheduled when the ticket is purchased, but the rest can be left open. The traveler has 30 days to complete their travel on the Visit Micronesia ticket.
• There is a $250 fee for refunds and changes made by the issuing agency (United or your travel agent) before departure. After departure this fare is not refundable or changeable.
• These fares aren’t available online. Since these tickets have many possible combinations of routes and islands to be visited, travelers need to purchase the ticket through a travel agent or by calling a United reservations agent.

LKC title at stake
PARKERSBURG – The Little Kanawha Conference softball championships will be conducted today in Ellenboro as host Ritchie County will try to continue its dominance on the diamond.
Ritchie County, which is 23-2 and last failed to win the LKC title back in 2006 when it suffered a 1-0 loss to Clay County, will take on Braxton County at 3 p.m. in the first semifinal. The Rebels, who defeated the Eagles 11-1 in their only meeting, was the top seed in the North Division while Braxton County (18-6) earned the second seed in the South Division.
In the other semifinal, scheduled for a 5 p.m. first pitch, LKC South Division champion Roane County (19-2) is set to tangle with St. Marys. The Raiders of head coach Sam Salvucci have used hurler Casey Lassiter in every game. She’s thrown 116 2/3 innings and posted a 2.52 earned run average to go along with 131 strikeouts against 30 walks.
Offensively for the Raiders, Cassidy Taylor has compiled a .606 average (43 for 71) that includes 20 doubles, 22 steals and 40 runs-batted-in.
Rebel head coach Dave Mossor said, “I don’t know if I’m going to pitch Moie (Ray) against them or Kenna (DeLancey),” in the semifinal versus Braxton County. Ray and DeLancey have 11 wins apiece for a team which through its first 23 games had swiped 120 bases without a caught stealing.
“Everything is coming to the front right now,” said Mossor, whose team beat Doddridge County (13-4) and Ravenswood (9-1) earlier this week.
“Every team from here on out is always a difficult one. I think we are ready for the task. I can’t say anymore than that.”
In what was supposed to be a “rebuilding” year for St. Marys head coach John Mike Nichols’ program, but the Blue Devils have played pretty good ball and enter today’s play with an 18-6 mark.
St. Marys had to rally for a 5-4 victory on Tuesday in eight innings at Doddridge County to earn the No. 2 seed as the Bulldogs dropped to a third seed.
“We’re just happy to be playing,” Nichols said of making the LKC tournament, which will conduct the title game at 7 p.m.. “We’re going to go out and give it our best and see what we can do. We haven’t played Roane County this year and they are having a great year.
“They are always a solid team. Just based on the past, Roane is going to hit the ball and be disciplined in the field. We are going to have to play a near flawless game if we want to have any chance of moving on.”
Also tonight, the LKC placement games will be going on with the North Division squads acting as the host site, except for Williamstown, which will play in Lost Creek versus South Harrison.

In Harvey, farmers are playing the waiting game
HARVEY -- It's a sunny day in early May, the sort of day on which farmers in the Harvey area normally are going full bore in their fields.
Not this year. A cold spring has delayed planting, and farmers here don't expect to be in their fields until the middle of May at the earliest.
"It's going to take some time for the fields to dry out. We don't like waiting, but that's the way it is," said Daniel Reimche, a Harvey farmer.
In early May, some sloughs were still iced over and many fields were at least partially covered with water. Even fields free of standing water were too wet to work.
Reimche and others said they doubted spring's work will begin in earnest until this week. Substantial rains before then would delay planting even longer. And if heavy rains do fall in May, some fields may not get planted at all this year.
"Talk of PP (prevented planting) is increasing," said Travis Larson, agronomy manager at The Arthur Cos. grain elevator in Harvey.
Prevented planting, a provision of the federal crop insurance program, pays farmers when they're unable to plant their crop because of extreme weather.
The late spring also will influence the crops that farmers in the Harvey area plant.
May 25 is the final date on which farmers in that area can plant corn and still be eligible for federal crop insurance, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency, which administers the federal program.
May 31 is the final planting date for spring wheat, with June 10 the last day to plant soybeans.
Some farmers probably will plant less wheat and more soybeans, given soybeans' later final planting date, Larson says.
The big question is what farmers will do with fields on which they had planned to plant corn, potentially the most profitable crop available in the Harvey area.
"They want to maintain corn, if they can," Larson said.
He and others wonder if farmers will switch some fields from corn to soybeans or whether they'll plant corn after May 25.
Crops of all types generally fare worse when they're planted late. Doing so forces them to develop later than normal, exposing them to more summer heat than is ideal. That can hurt yields.
For instance, for each day wheat is planted after May 15 in North Dakota, yields can be expected to drop by 1.5 percent, according to the North Dakota State University Extension Service.
Farmers can try to offset potential yield losses by planting more seed or earlier-maturing varieties.
Larson said he'll be working with farmers to minimize the downside from late planting.
'Typical' farm town
Farmers raise many crops in the Upper Midwest. Soil and climate, among other factors, dictate what producers grow.
Some farmers raise only corn and soybeans, others only wheat and livestock. A plethora of other crops, including barley, canola, durum, edible beans, oats, potatoes, sugar beets and sunflowers are grown, too.
Though there's no typical Upper Midwest farm town, Harvey probably comes close. Farmers in the central North Dakota farm town of 1,800 raise virtually all the other crops, except for potatoes and sugar beets, found elsewhere in the region.
Harvey is typical of Upper Midwest agriculture in another way, too.
Corn and soybeans continue to become more popular with farmers, often at the expense of wheat.
Soybean acreage in Wells County, in which Harvey is located, has jumped sixfold in the past decade, to 191,500 in 2012 from 30,500 in 2012.
The number of corn acres in the county has risen fivefold, to 99,700 in 2012 from 18,500 in 2002.
"There's so much interest in corn and soybeans, and it keeps growing," said Tim Loen, an agronomist for the Harvey location of Velva-based Farmers Union Oil.
The rising interest in corn is a big reason why the number of parts carried by Lelm Implement Inc. in Harvey has grown by 60 to 70 percent in recent years, says Cody Magilke, who manages its parts department.
More farmers are just getting into corn and buying equipment for it. Some other farmers, who had been sharing equipment to grow relatively small amounts of corn, are increasing their corn acreage and buying equipment of their own, Magilke says.
Wheat acreage in Wells County has dropped to 146,000 in 2012 from 220,000 in 2002.
Pros, cons of corn
Estimates from the NDSU Extension Service's 2013 projected crop budget illustrate the potential benefits and shortcomings of planting corn in the Harvey area.
Corn's projected return for central North Dakota is pegged at $166.23 per acre, compared with $98.91 per acre for wheat and $113.82 per acre for soybeans.
In other words, corn's projected per-acre profit is roughly 50 percent higher than the two other crops.
But corn also is more expensive to plant. The cost of seed and fertilizer, among other things, is substantially higher with corn than other crops. When planting is late, the odds of a poor crop increase, putting the bigger investment in corn at greater risk.
Corn costs $454.14 per acre to plant, with the cost of wheat pegged at $290.15 per acre and the per-acre cost of soybeans estimated at $258.48, according to the NDSU Extension Service projections for central North Dakota.
Corn's higher per-acre cost will factor into how many acres of the crop are planted in the Harvey area, especially if planting is delayed even further, Larson and others said.
Farmers and agribusinesses in Harvey, like most of their peers in the Upper Midwest, have enjoyed a strong extended run, thanks to high crop prices and generally good yields.
That's led many farmers and agribusinesses in the Harvey area to invest in their operations.
"Probably 90 percent (of the Harvey economy) is generated by farming. So when farmers make money, it's good for the whole town," Magilke says.
For instance, The Arthur Cos. location in Harvey has spent more than $10 million to upgrade its facilities since 2007, officials say.
Reimche agrees that farmers generally have fared well financially and have at least some cushion against a bad year.
At the same time, however, the cost of land and other expenses continues to rise, he says.
"You've got to consider our higher costs," he says.
Awfully cold April
As recently as late February, the odds of a late spring in Harvey seemed relatively low, farmers and others say.
But that changed after late-spring snowstorms and a chilly April that prevented most of the snow from melting until late in the month.
The average temperature was at least 20 degrees below normal nine days during the month and above normal only two days, according to the North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network.
Farmers with plenty of indoor storage space were able to prepare their equipment for planting before the snow melted, Magilke said. But farmers who kept machinery outside couldn't get at it until the melt.
"So there's been a real rush to get ready," despite the late spring, he said.
Steven Seibel, a Harvey farmer, said he's seen both drought and excess moisture in his career.
"But I've never seen a year where winter held on for so long. It just didn't warm up," he said.
Reimche and others say they're optimistic about getting their crops in.
"There's still time," he said. "It's late, though. We need it to be dry. That's going to be make-or-break for us."

Is this a video of NASA’s rain clouds machine?
A video has been viewed thousands of times in multiple posts on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube which claim the footage shows a “rain clouds generator engine” developed by US Space Agency NASA.
The claim is false; the video has been taken from a 2010 episode of the BBC’s Top Gear program; NASA said the footage actually showed tests of rocket engines.
The footage was shared in this September 29, 2018 Facebook post, where it has been viewed more than 3,500 times.
Below is a screenshot of the misleading post:
The 59-second video shows a large machine emitting a huge plume of white-coloured smoke.
The misleading post’s caption says: “Rain clouds generator engine developed by Nasa. See where the world is moving…Amazing…!”
The claim is false; most of the video has been captured from a 2001 episode of “Speed”, part of the BBC’s Top Gear program. The footage in the misleading post contains a BBC watermark on top-left corner. Former BBC presenter Jeremy Clarkson can be seen in the clip.
In the video, Clarkson says to the camera: “Don’t worry if you can’t hear what I’m saying, I couldn’t even hear myself. This is the loudest sound you could possibly conceive. And, as it turns out, the cleanest. Now, the most amazing thing is that that cloud up there, which was generated by the engine, is just a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen — it’s water vapour! And in about an hours time, someone in Mississippi is going to get wet washing, it will actually rain! [sound of rain] I told you! It’s raining! That’s unbelievable! NASA’s playing god, it’s making its own weather.”
A reverse image search on Google found this corresponding video published on the verified YouTube channel of the BBC’s Top Gear program on October 29, 2010.
The title of the video says: ‘Space Shuttle Rocket Booster Test | Speed | Top Gear’.
The caption of the 2-minutes 52-seconds video states: “Jeremy Clarkson heads to Mississippi where NASA test their Space Shuttle solid rocket boosters. Consuming half a million gallons of fuel, they generate the thrust needed to propel astronauts into space.”
The Top Gear video corresponds with the video in the misleading posts from the 1-minute 54-seconds mark until the 2-minutes-47 seconds mark.
Below is a screenshot comparison of the video in the misleading Facebook post (L) and YouTube video of the ‘Space Shuttle Rocket Booster Test’ (R).
NASA’s news chief Valerie Buckingham told AFP that the misleading footage did not show a rain cloud machine.
“No, we have not created an engine for the specific purpose of generating clouds. Let me provide some clarification,” Buckingham told AFP by email on July 10.
The first five seconds of the misleading Facebook video — which do not appear in the Top Gear program — show an RS-25 engine test, Buckingham said.
“The Facebook video is a combined video of the RS-25 engine on the A-1 stand and the RS-68 commercial engine on the B-1 stand at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi,” she said.
The Top Gear YouTube clip shows “the RS-68 commercial test at Stennis,” she said.
According to Buckingham: “The engines in the video run on liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellants. The chemical composition of water is H2O (hydrogen and oxygen). These are mixed in the combustion chamber and ignited, which results in extremely high-temperature steam (6000 degree F) coming out of the nozzle at a very high rate and pressure. That steam rises in the atmosphere, creating a steam cloud that cools off and turns back into water and rains depending on the temperature and humidity at the time of the test. There is also water flowing in the flame deflector which also mixes in the cloud. The steam released during a test is water and does not pollute the atmosphere.”
The first five seconds of footage in the misleading posts has been captured from this video published on NASA’s official YouTube channel on October 19, 2017. The video’s title states: “NASA Tests RS-25 Flight Engine for Space Launch System”.

- Edge computing is a real thing, but distorted and extended beyond reasonable use cases by FOMO.
- Smart edge computing plays are not generalized, but specialized, and they do not play on hype.
The first conversations around the concept of edge computing were both interesting and enlightening. The basic idea was that compute resources needed to be closer to the actual workload in situations where real-time or very near-real time decisions need to be made. Latency could not be tolerated, so cloud or even corporate data centers were out of the question. Examples given were automated materials handling, manufacturing, and – of course, technology marketers’ favorite old trope – self-driving/automated vehicles. All but the last example sounded perfectly reasonable and lined up with customer needs, both today and tomorrow. Continue reading “Already Over the Edge (Computing)”

In 1994, the Singaporean government introduced the Goods and Services Tax (GST). GST is a tax imposed on domestic consumption. GST is a multi-stage tax which is to be collected at every stage of the production and distribution chain. GST is paid whenever money is spent on any goods or services, hence the name of the tax. However, sales and leases of residential properties, financial services, and exports of goods and international services will not have any GST charged.
History of GST
GST was introduced as part of a government reform which planned to change the core of Singapore’s tax system from an income-based system to a consumption-based one. Furthermore, the additional revenue that the government would collect through GST meant that individual income tax, corporate income tax, and property tax rates could all be reduced. The consumption-based tax system was also believed to create a more resilient tax base.
When GST was introduced, it was imposed at a 3% rate. This figure was increased to 4% in 2003. This 4% rate did not last for long, as it was subsequently raised to 5% in 2004, then 7% in 2007.
Increase of GST rate
For the first time since 2007, the Singaporean government now plans to increase the GST rate. This increase was announced in Singapore’s Budget 2018. According to Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat, the Singaporean government opted to increase the country’s GST rate from 7% to 9% at a point between 2021 and 2025 because it would boost the country’s overall revenues. This echoes the rationale behind the 1994 introduction of GST, and the facts prove this line of thought to be true – the Singaporean economy grew by 10.93% in 1994, the year GST was introduced. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that a GST rate increase would benefit the Singaporean economy.
Heng also said that the GST rate increase was the preferable alternative to raising corporate tax rates, as that could potentially drive businesses away from Singapore. This would be disastrous for the country, as Singapore is one of the world’s major corporate hubs. According to the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index, Singapore has been ranked as one of the world’s two easiest countries to conduct business in since 2006. In the most recent rankings, Singapore was placed second, only behind New Zealand. Thousands of international companies have major branches in Singapore. Factors other than Singapore’s low corporate tax rate that draw these companies to Singapore include Singapore’s political stability, relative lack of corruption, openness to foreign investment, highly developed infrastructure, and technological advancement. As international business is one of the cornerstones of Singapore’s economy, the government did not want to risk losing the country’s advantages in this regard by raising the corporate tax rate.

"JetBlue six zero two leaving flight level two one zero descending via the Ivane Two arrival landing south."
Does "landing south" here mean the aircraft will be landing on the runways north to south?
Aviation Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for aircraft pilots, mechanics, and enthusiasts. It only takes a minute to sign up.Sign up to join this community
"Landing south" means the planes are facing south as they land. Depending on conditions, they could come from the opposite end of the runway, and would be "landing north." This is also referred to as "south flow/operations."
If you look at a chart for the IVANE FIVE shown below, you can see why this is important. The runways at KCLT are primarly oriented north/south. The aircraft will enter the approach at MAJIC from the northeast. If landing south, the arriving airplane will fly IVANE BABZE HEELZ and needs to be at 6000 feet when they reach HEELZ north of the airport. Approach control will then turn them south to land. If landing north, they will fly from IVANE to GIZMO and follow the approach down to the south, and don't have to be at 6000 until they get down to ESENE. After reaching JATAB approach turns them north to land.
Telling the pilots which direction they will be landing lets them know which route to follow on the approach and helps them plan their descent. If approach hasn't provided a runway yet, they can also know which runways they can plan for.
Source. This is the best I could find for the IVANE arrival. The MAJIC ONE isn't RNAV, the CHSLY THREE would seem to be the applicable RNAV procedure from the northeast.
Landing south means that they will be using a southerly heading runway. I.e. landing on rwy 18 rather than 36.
The landing directions will be indicated on the STAR. For example the chart below for Charlotte.
Depending on which runways are in use the flight will take a different branch of the STAR. Since they aren't given a specific runway assignment yet they will report in with the general direction they expect to be landing. They are usually given this by the en route controller. If not the ATIS will tell them what runways are in use. If the northbound runways (36L/R/C and 5) are in use, they are "landing north" so when they reach waypoint MANGY they will turn left to a heading of 273° and expect the controller to give them vectors after GATEE waypoint. If the southbound runways are in use they will be "landing south" and will continue on the STAR until INNOR wp. This lets the controller know what they should expect the aircraft to do until they are told differently.
Usually when they check in they will be given a specific runway assignment, but it's possible the controller won't have a specific runway yet, so they will follow the correct branch of the STAR until they are given that assignment. That's why they have the general "landing north" or "landing south" designations.
In this example, if they are landing south they need to have a specific runway assigned by the time they reach INNOR because they must either turn right toward rwy 23 or continue straight toward rwys 18L/R/C.
It is possible, due to a shift in wind or noise abatement change, the airport could have changed directions (or the en route controller could have given them incorrect info). That's why they must tell the controller at check in which direction they are going to go.
One arrival may have multiple routings after a branch point, and when ATC assigns the arrival and the descend-via clearance, they have to specify which branch is to be flown.
As an over-simplified example, let's say that the arrival starts at AAA, then flies east toward the airport to points BBB and CCC, which is the branch point. When the airport is landing to the south, aircraft turn north (i.e. onto a downwind leg) and proceed to point NNN and OOO, and then a vector toward the (southbound) final approach course. When the airport is landing to the north, after CCC the arrival would have the aircraft turn south (again, onto a downwind leg) and fly to point SSS and TTT, and then a vector toward the (northbound) final. Each of these points might have an associated altitude and/or airspeed, and the clearance to "descend via the ___ arrival landing north" and "... landing south" tells the pilot which set of points (AAA-BBB-CCC-SSS-TTT-vector, in the "landing north" case, or AAA-BBB-CCC-NNN-OOO-vector in the "landing south" case) he's cleared to fly, along with their associated speeds/altitudes.

Updated: May 10, 2022
Electric vehicles have soon become the new reality of the Automotive industry. Blame the skyrocketing prices of petrol/diesel or increasing CO2 emissions, or depleting fossil fuels around the globe; anything or everything seems to have only led to a quick evolution of the automotive industry. Roads have gotten filled with EVs, even way before the anticipated time. And within days after entering the markets, this technology has shown wild-fire like advancements. Talking about the technology, the auto industry is already in the era where a standard vehicle also uses 100+ ECUs for proper functionality; with EVs coming into the picture, this number has increased multi-folds.
With this massive turn in technology, the introduction of rechargeable batteries, and the addition of many other technically complex elements, the need to collect data for making these vehicles perform better has also increased.
An electric vehicle needs a data logger way more than a conventional vehicle, as a more significant number of ECUs means massive data to calibrate.
Various parameters need to be monitored for better performance, such as SOC, SOH, voltage, current, charging voltage, charging current, cell voltages, cell temperatures, and something that aids and becomes an integral part of the BMS of the vehicle. This enables the user to analyse data and troubleshoot to improve their vehicle’s performance.
Main features to keep in mind while choosing a data logger for an EV:
The existing market of datalogger technology is also colossal today. There exist many such loggers which might look promising enough to fulfil the basic criteria. But for selecting one such logger that does it all, one needs to keep a few important pointers in mind.
Configuration: for any device, the most critical is the configuration around which it is built. There seems less logic in paying for something not required or paying for a device that misses out on any of the features you are looking for. The most important features to look out for in an electric vehicle data logger can be GNSS, gyroscope, accelerometer, collection of battery temperatures, embedded eMMC, cloud storage, open platform, etc.
Accessibility: the other major factor to keep in mind is the easy accessibility of the device. Using something with a great configuration might become useless if the user struggles to put the device to work. Various accessibility functions to consider when buying a logger can be easy usage, hassle-free interfacing, freedom to design the config etc. Some advanced features must also support multiple file formats, triggers, live-data viewing, Wakeup-on CAN/Wake-on moment, sleep modes, start/stop logging flexibility, etc.
Reliability: now, along with the above mentioned two features, reliability is equally important. What if a product had it all, worked the way you wanted it to but gave you inaccurate readings? Factors that make a device reliable enough can be accuracy, cost-effectiveness, compactness, no data loss, robustness, security etc.
Reading these points may trick you into thinking, “wait, which logger in the world will have all these?” but what if we told you that, Influx offers you just exactly what you need.

Caravan parks in Victoria are facing a challenging situation as they are being pressured to remove jumping pillows, a popular family attraction. The pressure comes as insurance premiums and the costs of running an RV park continue to soar.
David Pratt, president of the Victorian Caravan Parks Association, said that insurance refusal was an ongoing issue for many caravan parks. Insurers are increasingly concerned about public liability around ‘slip and trip’ incidents related to family park attractions like jumping pillows and splash parks.
Pratt, who also runs the Warburton Holiday Park in Victoria’s Yarra Ranges, described the current situation as the hardest it’s ever been to get caravan park insurance. He pointed out that many underwriters and re-insurers have exited the Australian market, and the Victorian Government has been urged to step in and help.
The situation is so dire that many caravan park operators have had to remove jumping pillows due to insurance refusal, as reported by the park.
They are faced with the tough decision of keeping the caravan park open by removing the jumping pillow, or closing it for good. Insurers have been demanding photographs of the jumping pillows both being removed and once removed.
Pratt believes that what really needs to happen is for state and federal governments to sit down with the insurance industry and discuss real law reform in ‘slip and trip’ matters.
He warns that this is just the tip of the iceberg for the entire tourism and amusement sector. The issue is causing many park operators sleepless nights, wondering if they can renew their insurance simply due to their postcode.
Despite the recent spate of natural disasters, Pratt said the caravan park industry was being unfairly treated as relatively few Victorian parks made insurance claims.
He cited last year’s devastating floods, which affected over 30% of Victorian parks and caused $45 million of damaged infrastructure. However, none of these caravan parks could even apply for flood cover, so there were no claims there.
The 2019 bushfires also saw caravan parks playing tremendous roles in providing shelter, refuge, and invaluable assistance to authorities in communicating with travelling families. Despite this, there were no property claims from that event. Therefore, the caravan park insurance crisis cannot be simply put down to fires and floods.
Unique amenities like jumping pillows can significantly improve the experiences of guests at caravan parks. They provide a fun and engaging activity for families, enhancing their overall stay. However, the current insurance-related issues are putting these amenities under threat, potentially impacting the guest experience.
The situation calls for a balanced approach that addresses the concerns of insurers while ensuring that caravan parks can continue to offer these popular attractions. It’s a complex issue that requires the involvement of various stakeholders, including park operators, the insurance industry, and government authorities.

ROCK SLIDE FORCES TRAIL CLOSURE IN DINOSAUR NATIONAL MONUMENT
Due to an active rock slide affecting the Jones Hole Trail in Dinosaur National Monument, the adjacent creek, the trail and surrounding Parks lands, from the fish hatchery boundary to Ely Creek, are closed to the public until further notice. The first reported rock slide occurred on Tuesday. A large slab of rock broke free from a cliff face just a short distance inside the monument boundary, less than ¼ mile from the Jones Hole Fish Hatchery. One fisherman reported having to run from a boulder that landed in the stream not too far from his location. After receiving reports, park rangers checked the scene and did not see any further activity. On Thursday morning, another small slide occurred. Then at around noon, a much larger slab of rock broke free and fell into the stream below. A large debris field formed below the slide site. The slide was large enough to send large boulders, the size of a pickup truck, across Jones Hole Creek before coming to rest against trees by the hiking trail. The surrounding area is covered with a layer of dust from the slide. No injuries were reported as a result of the slide. The Jones Hole Trail is a popular hiking trail that connects the Jones Hole Fish Hatchery with the Green River.
MOFFAT COUNTY COMMISSIONER CHUCK GROBE TESTIFIES BEFORE WASHINGTON COMMITTEE
Yesterday, Moffat County Commissioner Chuck Grobe testified before a Senate subcommittee headed by Congressman Scott Tipton on the importance of energy development in America. Grobe provided testimony on how federal regulations are impeding growth of the industry and the communities that host exploration and drilling projects. The discussion touched on the effects of such regulation on businesses, tourism, wildlife, recreation and hunting, among other aspects. Tipton says Grobe did a good job of presenting Moffat County’s case, but he’s not entirely sure the message is getting across to everyone. He says most Republicans are attentive to the concerns, while most democrats are simply interested in enforcing Washington policy.
COLLINS FIRE STARTED BY LIGHTNING
The 50 acre Collins Fire is a lightning caused blaze that was reported yesterday afternoon to the Craig Interagency Fire Center. It is burning in pinion and juniper trees on Bureau of Land Management land about 17 miles southwest of Meeker, in the Piceance Basin. There are four engines, one 20-person hand crew and one helicopter assigned with air tankers and additional hand crews on order. Structures in the area include one primary residence a mile and a half south of the fire and electric power lines. The fire is moving north and northeast away from the residence.
WILD ROSE FIRE REMAPPED AT 1,000 ACRES
Reports from the Wild Rose Fire indicated that it was holding close to 1,000 acres. There was no substantial growth; the additional acres are due to better mapping. The three assigned hot shot crews have made good progress constructing fire lines with air support from a large air tanker dropping retardant and water drops from helicopters. Winds were gusting up to 30 miles per hour and the Red Flag Warning is still in effect for critical fire weather today and tomorrow. The Rocky Mountain Type 2 Incident Management Team will assume command of the Wild Rose Fire tomorrow. The first priority is public and fire fighter safety while holding the fire from spreading north and east. Due to the fire Rio Blanco County Road 116 is closed from Highway 139 to County Road 113; and County Road 107 is closed from Highway 139 to County Road 116.

RESIDENTS ASKED TO BE AWARE OF TRAFFIC CHANGES IN STEAMBOAT
Residents and visitors in Steamboat can expect to see some changes to Yampa Street beginning in the next few weeks. As discussed in the June 18th City Council Meeting the speed limit along the street will be reduced to 15mph for the entire stretch of Yampa Street. This is intended to acknowledge the nature of use along the street, as every summer more pedestrians and bicycles are using it. There will also be some rearrangement of parking in order to provide a path for pedestrians to access the walking areas along the riverside of the street. Businesses along Yampa Street are asked to please avoid placing obstacles or parking vehicles in driveways that block the walking areas on the riverside of Yampa Street and force pedestrians out in the street. The City is also expanding their partnership with the Colorado Department of Transportation Bicycle and Pedestrian Program. In 2010, CDOT funded and installed a permanent bicycle counter on Elk River Road, near the intersection with US40. On June 20th, a consultant for CDOT will install a second permanent bicycle counter across Yampa Street between 7th and 8th Streets. The counters will generate information relative to bicycle usage in these two areas and provide the City and CDOT with necessary information to assess infrastructure needs and trends over time.
GOOD TURN-OUT FOR BAND, BARBECUE AND MOVIE
About 250 people showed up to take advantage of a free barbecue and watch the 101st Army Dixieland Band play at Craig City Park last night. The barbecue was provided by KRAI, 55 Country, and the Craig Daily Press. After the concert, those in the park were treated to an outdoor movie on a big screen by the City of Craig. The showing of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” was also a fund raiser for Grand Futures of Moffat County. While the movie was free, Grand Futures sold popcorn and soda.

Whenever El Paso made a decision to start a cost road this 12 months, motorists had been told they are able to spend tolls or purchase cost tags online, within the phone, or by mail.
Convenient, right? But motorists who wish to make re re payments in individual will have to go to ACE money Express, a lender that is payday fees as much as $5 in charges for the solution. While many states strictly control or ban payday financing, Texas is thrilled to deliver its economically susceptible residents right to the doorways of those dubious organizations. ItвЂ™s what Texas federal government does bestвЂ”look away for big company in the price of its residents.
Linda Martinez, a supervisor at ACE money Express in El Paso, told the El Paso occasions recently that the arrangement ended up being a chance on her business getting new clients in the doorway and вЂњoffer them most of the online payday WV services that people offer.вЂќ Services like pay day loans, installment loans, car-title loans and prepaid debit cardsвЂ”products that usually carry outrageous rates of interest and sink desperate people deeper into debt. ACE, as an example, delivers a payday that is two-week at an APR of 792 per cent. The El Paso cost authority recently canceled the arrangement, although the North Texas Toll Authority nevertheless has a deal that is similar ACE money Express.
ItвЂ™s a problem that is systemic seen before, this fox-in-the-henhouse types of governing. The chair associated with the Texas Finance CommissionвЂ”the agency thatвЂ™s designed to manage the cash advance industryвЂ”is Bill White, vice president of Fort Cash that is worth-based America. Yes, the commission thatвЂ™s designed to protect you against predatory lenders is led by a predatory lender.
The U.S. customer Financial Protection Bureau recently fined money America $19 million in customer refunds and fines for, among other items, вЂњunfair and practices that are deceptiveвЂќ failing woefully to keep and offer records, breaking the customer Financial Protection Act of 2010, and breaking the Military Lending Act.
Meanwhile, White told the El Paso days that borrowers whom end up in even even even worse financial obligation after using the services of their business should just take duty due to their actions. Needless to say, whenever individuals in power speak about using obligation, it translates to regular individuals have screwed.
Simply simply Take, as an example, the innocuous-sounding Driver Responsibility Program, developed by the Texas Legislature in 2003. The legislation enables the Texas Department of Public protection to extort surcharges including $100 to $2,000 from traffic violators, along with traffic breach fines. Motorists whom donвЂ™t spend the added fines can lose their licenses.
DPS agreements with a company that is private collect the surcharges.
And, needless to say, the contractor that is private unique charges. Municipal Services Bureau, relating to DPSвЂ™ site, is вЂњlegally authorized to charge people solution costs as well as the surcharge.вЂќ Those costs consist of a site cost of 4 % associated with surcharge that is original; an installment-plan charge of $2.50 for every single partial payment; a credit or debit card cost of 2.25 per cent associated with re re payment; and an electric check charge of $2 for every single payment. And imagine where you could spend your traffic breach surcharge in cash? ACE Money Express.
By 2010, a lot more than 60 percent of the surcharges, in accordance with the Texas Tribune, choose to go unpaid. a believed 1.3 million Texas motorists destroyed their licenses, and quite often their jobs as a result of not enough transport. Some legislators have actually battled to repeal the system, admitting regulations is a deep failing, but thus far, theyвЂ™ve only succeeded in reducing surcharges for motorists with low incomes.
The deregulated electricity market is another illustration of hawaii shopping for big company as opposed to for working Texans. Tales abound of concealed charges, disconnections without notification, rip-off electricity that is prepaid, and multi-level advertising businesses peddling power (look over: pyramid schemes). Several of those methods are unlawful and policed because of their state. Nevertheless the biggest rip-off of all is completely appropriate: deregulation it self.
The Texas Coalition for Affordable Power determines that Texans surviving in deregulated areas paid $22 billion more from 2002 to 2012 if they had paid the rates enjoyed by people living in regulated areas like Austin and San Antonio than they would have.
This is just what takes place when government acts business without exceptions. The price is paid by us, over time. It truly can add up.

Twenty-Fourth Amendment: Doctrine and Practice
The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.
The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Not long after ratification of the Amendment—applicable only to federal elections—Congress by statute authorized the Attorney General to seek injunctive relief against use of the poll tax as a means of racial discrimination in state elections,1 and the Supreme Court held that the poll tax discriminated on the basis of wealth in violation of the Equal Protection Clause.2
In Harman v. Forssenius,3 the Court struck down a Virginia statute that eliminated the poll tax as an absolute qualification for voting in federal elections and gave federal voters the choice either of paying the tax or of filing a certificate of residence six months before the election. Viewing the latter requirement as imposing upon voters in federal elections an onerous requirement that was not imposed on those who continued to pay the tax, the Court unanimously held the law to conflict with the new Amendment by penalizing those who chose to exercise a right guaranteed them by the Amendment.
- Voting Rights Act of 1965, § 10, 79 Stat. 442, 42 U.S.C. § 1973h. For the results of actions instituted by the Attorney General under direction of this section, see United States v. Texas, 252 F.

Sugar Land picks partner for planned concert venue
Updated 5:30 am, Wednesday, May 4, 2011
The city of Sugar Land has picked a partner to develop and operate a proposed 6,500-seat concert and performing arts center.
City Council on Tuesday approved a memorandum of understanding with ACE Sugar Land, LLC, to begin exploring a public-private partnership to create the facility on a 39-acre tract near U.S. 59 and University Boulevard.
The city eyes the tract as a future home for a "larger office and entertainment-centric, mixed-use" project.
The proposed concert facility in Sugar Land is part of a successful 2008 city referendum sought to create a minor-league baseball park, an outdoor festival site and a concert building.
A study by the city in 2008 found a concert and performing arts venue would bring capital investment, new jobs, educational opportunities and attract visitors.
"We believe this will fill a much-needed gap in entertainment needs in this part of the Greater Houston and bring many more people here to enjoy the arts and all that our city offers," said Mayor James Thompson.
The city has not set a timeline for the project's completion.


WCCO's Steve Murphy Attacked, Robbed On Way To Work
November 13, 2013 at 3:56 AM (PT)
CBS RADIO News-Talk WCCO-A/MINNEAPOLIS morning news anchor STEVE MURPHY was beaten and robbed while he was on his daily run through SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS to work early THURSDAY morning, the station's sister station WCCO-TV reports.
MURPHY, who runs the mile from his home to a bus stop at 2:30a every morning, said that an "older model, white SUV (was) traveling very slowly near me, and I felt suspicious, so I changed my route," but that men got out of the car, threw him down, and choked him while they grabbed his wallet and left him there.
MURPHY got to the bus and was taken to the hospital, where he was treated for cuts and bruises; he has identified one of three men arrested for a similar crime in ANOKA COUNTY on the same day as his likely attacker, and that suspect was also likely caught on video using his credit card to pay for gas.


Somewhat Soggy and Foggy Sunday
I had to work the early shift on Sunday, so the drive into work at 4am wasn’t the greatest… in fact, it was a bit nerve wracking. I wasn’t a big fan of driving on the highway with extremely low visibility. It was almost hypnotic, staring into the abyss, watching the white lines whizz past. I snapped this shot earlier Sunday… the low fog layer opened up enough to get a quick glimpse of the near full moon.
Look at how close the clearing line was to the Twin Cities Sunday afternoon… If you were northeast of the yellow through the day Sunday, you more than likely had a pretty gloomy day. Southwest of that line, the sun popped out and temperatures warmed close to 60F… remind me what month it is again.
Folks in the grey shaded areas are facing Dense Fog Advisories. Some are for Sunday night. Others through the overnight and Monday morning.
For details: Click here for the WeatherNation Interactive Map.
Take a look at the forecast highs across the nation on Monday…. much of the central part of the country will be nearly 15F to 25F warmer than normal and near records in spots!
As a storm system slides along/north of the international border today, it’ll drag Pacific moisture along with it. Doesn’t it seem weird to be talking about the potential for rain on the 3rd of December? Even though the graphic below looks pretty wild, Monday isn’t expected to be a washout. However, there could be a few isolated t-storms near Chicago, which could beef up rainfall just a little bit.
NOAA’s HPC 1 day precipitation across the nation shows this weak disturbance across the Upper Mississippi Valley with light precipitation potential, but it also shows addtional precipitation potential across the West Coast.
For those along the West Coast, the constant barrage of heavy Pacific moisture isn’t over just yet. The 5 day precipitation forecst brings in another +5″ for some… some of which may be in the form of snow across the higher elevations.

WNTV meteorologist Bryan Karrick made his annual trip to Lambeau field for the “Border Battle” (Vikings vs. Packers) on Sunday. We happened to corrdinate and capture Bryan on the Lambeau tailgate webcam.
The long range “192 hour fantasyland” GFS forecast suggests a better potential of light snow accumulations by some point late week/weekend.
Back to Reality
By Friday, temps across much of the country will be much more in line with what you’d expect in December. What you see below is the departure from average for high temperatures. Bottom line is a good chuck of the Western U.S. is expected to be below normal by the end of the work week. The rest of the country close to normal.
What do you think? Are you excited for more winter like temperatures? Or are you enjoying the unseasonably warm weather?
Thanks for checking in, have a great rest of your weekend.

Dense fog blanketed parts of the nation early on this morning, and at one point, at least 20 states were seeing Dense Fog Advisories.
This image below, from kidztimez.com, was taken back in late May 2012 from Dubai. The world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, stands at 2,700 ft-high and it uses this to its advantage as it stands well above the cloud layer, which hovers around 400 feet. The lights from the surrounding buildings is helping to illuminate the thick clouds.
Many locations had their visibilities reduced to around 1/4 mile or less this morning, which made driving and air travel somewhat difficult. According to the National Weather Service, fog is “water droplets suspended in the air at the Earth’s surface. Fog is often hazardous when the visibility is reduced to ¼ mile or less.”
During the early morning hours, the fog can cause many folks to become distracted or unaware of their surroundings. With these reduced visibilities, it is a good idea to drive slower than usual and leave extra space between you and the car in front of you. The fog not only impedes vision, but also makes for slicker roads, which reduces your ability to stop quickly. When the fog becomes very dense, there is next to no time to react properly to avoid an accident. A Dense Fog Advisory is defined as “when fog reduces visibility to 1/8 mile or less over a widespread area.”
Fog blanketed much of the Midwest this morning, and the graphic above shows eight states with fog-related advisories. The green shaded counties are Freezing Fog Advisories. Temperatures were down in the low 30s in the early morning hours and the abundant moisture combine with the lack of winds, allowed the fog to settle down on surfaces and freeze. This situation is not good at all for travelers, because icy conditions can form on the roadways in a very thin layer, very similar to black ice. Freezing Fog is defined by the NWS as “a fog where the droplets freeze upon contact with exposed objects and form a coating of rime and/or glaze.”
The campus grounds of the University of Iowa look like they were straight out of a scene from a horror movie this morning! And no, this picture was not taken from a black-and-white camera, it was just THAT foggy at 4am. As the sun rose and burned off the fog around 10am, the colors returned and the buildings in the distance became visible. What a difference a few hours make! The campus grounds look stunning and alive, even though its a Sunday, and most of the students are either sleeping (my first guess) or are away.
The East coast also had to contend with the fog this morning. Dense Fog Advisories covered 9 states, plus the Washington D.C. area. While the fog is clearing in the Mid Atlantic, the moisture is creeping into New England. As the advisories were being lifted from MD, PA and NJ, MA, CT and NH were being placed under Dense Fog Advisories.
It was not a good day to do any morning exercises in Ocean City, MD. The boardwalk was barely visible and the conditions only started to improve after the late morning hours. Joggers would have had a pretty terrible view early this morning!
How about trying to head down the I-95 corridor through the “City of Brotherly Love”? Well there were low visibility issues as well in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. So if you were thinking of leaving early this morning and beating the weekend rush, well you had to take your time.
And finally, up in New England, Portsmouth, NH had fog even on the coastline. All these tug boats were docked throughout the evening hours and in the morning, they were the only thing visible. There is a larger ship ahead of them that is barely visible and, if there were clear skies, you could see the rest of the port. If dense fog is found to be occurring over a marine area, an advisory for widespread or localized fog would be put up about the reducing visibilities to regionally or locally defined limitations that do not exceed 1 nautical mile.
Well now that the fog has lifted, for the most part, go out and enjoy this wonderful Sunday. The afternoon will be pleasantly mild across much of the country, from the East coast back to the Midwest, and between the 49th parallel and the Rio Grande. Here are the amazingly warm temps for today… is this really December?!
These temps are running well above seasonal levels. We could see high temps nearly 30° warmer than where they should be. That much warmth can be found in the Northern Plains. The core of the warmth will be from Nebraska to North Dakota. Few places will be below average, including the southern tip of Florida, and the western sides of the the Cascades and the Sierra Nevadas.
Take care and have a great week!
Meteorologist Addison Green (twitter @agreenWNTV)
I think there’s a saying that goes “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere” isn’t there? Even though it doesn’t feel like winter around here, it really is somewhere. Take a look at the Arctic webcam from Fairbanks, Alaska where the midday temperature was a balmy -20F on the 1st day of December (first day of Meteorological Winter). As a general rule of thumb, when Alaska is cold, we are typically warm.
Here are some of the latest numbers on how November faired for some selected cities:
Pittsburgh, PA: 0.38″ in November, 3rd driest (normal 3.23″)
Shreveport, LA: 0.85″ in November, 12th driest
Tyler, TX: 0.28″ in November, 3rd driest
Tampa, FL: 0.16″ in November, 11th driest (normal: 1.55″)
Columbus, OH: 0.79″ in November, 5th driest
Nashville, TN: 1.38″ in November, 17th driest
Houston, TX: 0.65″, 6th driest
Jackson, KY: 0.84″, 2nd driest
Jacksonville, FL: 0.27″, 13th driest
Fairbanks, AK: Ave Temp: -8.8 (6th coldest), Ave High 0.4 (10th coldest), Ave Low: -17.9 (3rd coldest)
Dallas, TX: 0.05″, 5th driest
Danville, VA: 0.54″, 2nd driest
Savannah, GA: Ave High 66.8, Ave Low 43.2 — 6th coldest Nov on record
Alaska’s Arctic Temperatures
This isn’t all that unusual for Alaska at this time of the year, but the numbers are still a bit startling. Interior Alaska has been consistently in the -20s and -30s, but some of the overnight lows as of late have been down in the -40s and -50s… YIKES! The map below shows some of the minimum temperatures recently recorded. See more from the NWS mesonet observation page HERE:
When Alaska’s Cold, We’re Typically Warm
This isn’t always the case, but it’s a pretty good rule of thumb. A large Pacific storm (sitting nearly stationary) has been pushing copious amount of Pacific moisture into the west. This constant barrage has been responsible for flooding along the West Coast, but has also helped in warming things up across the nation’s midsection. This storm is also responsible for the cold Arctic air entrentched across Alaska.
Mild Midsection of the Nation
By contrast, take a look at how mild it was recently across the Lower 48, specifically the nation’s midsection. Temperature have been running well above average… 40s, 50s, 60s and even 70s doesn’t seem like typical December weather does it?
YIKES! That’s Not Normal
This map is anything but normal. The high temps from normal map shows that much of the nation on Sunday will be above normal by quite a margin, in some cases nearly 20F to 30F above normal!
Milwaukee, WI Still Snowless
Our snowless streak continues in Milwaukee, WI. March 4th was the last time there was measurable snow making it the 3rd longest stretch without measurable snow. If we can make it to Sunday, December 9th, that’ll be 280 days without measurable snow and the longest stretch without such in recorded history… the countdown continues. See more HERE:
US Snow Potential
According to the GFS, there is little snow potential across the nation through AM Thursday. Other than the high elevations out west, much of the Lower 48 stays mostly snow free.
Long Range Snow Potential
Here’s the long range GFS snow potential thru next Sunday. Although this is considered to be a little ‘fantasyland’ forecasting, this too shows minimal snow potential through the first full week of the month.


Apparently, pandas get as excited as kids do at the first sign of winter.
These two giant pandas certainly did when they saw snow for the first time near their home in China.
In Jilin Province, the white snow fell for the first time recently. So at Siberian Tiger Park in Changchun, it might be understandable that the animals were pumped.
Meng Meng, a nine-year-old giant panda, and her 10-year-old brother, Jia Jia, couldn’t believe their eyes.
In this video, the duo roll down lightly-powdered hills and generally frolic with genuine excitement.
For these animals, apparently, winter couldn’t come soon enough.

Nottingham Forest signed Richie Laryea from Toronto FC last week and he’s previously been compared to Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies.
Greg Vanney managed the MLS outfit from 2014 to 2020 and some previous comments from him should delight the Forest fan base.
Laryea has become the second permanent addition to the Reds’ ranks this summer. He follows Steve Cook into the club as Steve Cooper tries to reshape his defence.
The 27-year-old looks like an interesting signing. Toronto offered to make him the highest-paid full-back in the MLS but Laryea had his heart set on Europe.
Given the comparison made with Davies, it would seem as though Vanney believes Forest have themselves a good player in Laryea.
He previously told Waking the Reds: “He’s an incredible attacking right-back. That’s the reason you see a similar player to Alphonso Davies, who’s kind of the wide player or winger. When you have a full-back that can beat people on the dribble, that’s like gold.”
Laryea will now look to acclimatise to English football quickly. With Forest short at left-back he could find himself thrust into action in the next couple of weeks.
Quality: Laryea could be shrewd move by Forest
Although he’s an unknown quantity plenty of supporters seem happy with this deal. Toronto fans loved him and Forest fans seem keen to give him a chance to shine.
Djed Spence and Max Lowe have been Forest’s first choice full-backs this season. Both, however, are on loan and Cooper has moved quickly to make a permanent addition.
- CLASS: Expert discusses new Forest signing
Laryea boasts pace and simply loves taking players on. If he can prove himself defensively, the club could be well set at right-back for the next few years.
The comparisons to Davies make for exciting reading. The Bayern man has won a bucket-load of silverware at Bayern and Laryea will now hope to emulate his compatriot.

Date: August 23, 2021
Time: 3:00 - 5:00 pm
Location: Zoom Meeting
Topic: Best Practices on How to Communicate with People Living with Dementia
This training will give the audience the need to know information, and the dos and don'ts of how to best communicate with people living with dementia. Dementia takes away so much, and as dementia forces communication abilities to change significantly over time, learning how to still communicate and make important connections can be challenging for everyone. This presentation will provide the audience with nearly 20 years of direct dementia care experience and insight into best communication practices. The audience will also learn about what dementia care communication success means to a currently licensed adult care home provider with over 10 years of dementia care practice.
Speaker: Matt Gannon
After serving as a first responder on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier in the US Navy, dementia care has become my full-time discipline since 2003 when I began working at Mary's Woods Health Center as a dietary aid, activities assistant, and CNA in the memory care - and I have never wavered. I cared for many of the nuns in memory care at Mary's Woods, and it was their friends who encouraged me to enroll as a student at Marylhurst University. I studied for 6 years in the Marylhurst Human Studies and Gerontology program where all of my academic work was tailored to people living with dementia and the people who care for them.
For over 10 years I partnered with a Lake Oswego Adult Placement and Referral Agency owner on countless transition cases for people living with dementia. I spent several years working full-time at the Alzheimer's Association Oregon & SW Washington Chapter as an educator and consultant. Most of my time was spent consulting family members and people living with dementia, teaching classes to families, professionals, medical students, and first responders, and training activity directors on art programs for dementia. I also worked alongside OHSU's Layton Center neurology and nursing team in the Alzheimer's Center Clinic to provide direct consultation to their newly diagnosed patients and loved ones.
Other roles I've served for people living with dementia include: CNA in Memory Care, Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living; Substitute Caregiver for a level 3 Adult Care Home; Administrator for Memory Care; Director of Care for an In-Home Care Agency; Dementia Family Support Group Leader; and as of January 2021, I am proud to be a Consultant & Provider Services Coordinator with Oregon Care Home Consulting & Training. Along with our many services, we provide our state-required Pre-Service Dementia Training and we offer Dementia Consultation.
Oregon Care Home Consulting & Training: Oregon Care Home Consulting & Training supports the success of current and future APD adult foster care home providers in Oregon through our ethically-based, passion-driven approach. We do this by providing the guidance, training, advocacy, and ongoing support providers need to effectively navigate licensing requirements and stay in compliance. This allows providers to have success in their care home that benefits both providers and residents. Visit OregonCareHome.com
Important information about CEU Credits: Oregon Health Authority no longer pre-approves CEU’s. Go to https://bit.ly/2to0nwB to determine if this presentation will count towards annual CEU requirement for Nursing and Residential Care administrators.

Kadyrov insults the Chechens again
By Ramzan Akhmadov
GROZNY, Chechnya – On October 5 a combined celebration of several anniversaries, primarily President Ramzan Kadyrov’s birthday, took place in the Chechen capital. It included a public ceremony to mark the reopening of the newly restored Victory Avenue, which was attended by the Chechen leadership, representatives of federal government agencies, leaders of neighbouring republics, and religious clerics. A decree by Kadyrov renaming the street “V. V. Putin Avenue” was read out at the ceremony.
Today this issue is one of the most hotly debated subjects in town. Yesterday’s announcement by the president is the only subject of conversation – in buses, minibuses and also on the streets. Most people are unanimous in agreeing that Kadyrov has once again insulted the Chechen people by choosing the name of Putin, whom they consider mainly responsible for the years of bloodshed which began in 1999, as a label for this central Grozny thoroughfare.
“Ramzan (Kadyrov) has obviously got to the point where he’s lost touch with reality. You’d think he was living on another planet with its owns laws and rules, one where he’s allowed to do anything he wants. If he wants to, he can kill someone, or if he feels like it he can lift them up to the skies. He decided to get rid of the monument to the victims of the 1944 deportation, and away it went. He decided to say thanks to his beloved boss Putin – and a whole street was named after him,“ says Ibragim, a Grozny minibus driver.
“Doesn’t he realize that this is an insult to all Chechens? I mean, this the same Putin who in 1999 foamed at the mouth and said he was going to flush us down the toilet! This is the same Putin who still gets his mug in a twist at the mere mention of large-scale human rights violations in Chechnya. This is the man who has on his conscience not only the lives of our women, children, and old folk, but also the hostages of Nord-Ost and Beslan. How can you rename a central city street after a war criminal?” he wonders.
Kadyrov has previously ordered the renaming of a Grozny street after General Gennady Troshev, who died in a plane crash near Perm in mid-September, and also changed the name of another street in honour of the Pskov paratroopers who were killed in a battle with guerrillas in Chechnya’s mountainous Shatoysky district in February 2000. Since all of these people came to Chechnya bearing arms and bringing death and bloodshed, the local population takes a very negative view of the actions of local authorities which seek to perpetuate their memory. The only explanation people can find for this new decision by Ramzan Kadyrov is that he wants to do something nice for Putin in advance of the latter’s birthday on October 7, and express his complete loyalty and devotion.
“Ramzan Kadyrov, like his father, was ‘made‘ by Vladimir Putin. Now Kadyrov is president of the republic, the richest man and government official in the land. Of course, he’ll move heaven and earth for Putin, but you shouldn’t imagine that the rest of the Chechens worship this man who murdered and tortured an entire people. Putin saw us as enemies, and I’m sure he still does. And he’s still enemy number one for us Chechens. He’s our enemy, and he’s a war criminal », 43-year old Supyan Salamov says categorically.
“Kadyrov and his henchmen are off their heads, of course. They’ve already dubbed Putin ‘national leader of the country’, even though none of them has any idea what that is, and not many of them are even able to get their tongues round it. They call the late Kadyrov Senior ‘saviour of the Chechen people from extermination’ and ‘first president of the Chechen Republic’, though every Chechen knows that our first president was Dzhokhar Dudayev, followed by Aslan Maskhadov, because they were elected by the people. And of course Ramzan’s henchmen sing his praises as ‘the furtherer of the cause of his great father’, ‘the unifier’ and ‘the creator’. And now, borne along on a wave of all that rubbish, Ramzan Kadyrov seems now to have lost touch with reality completely and believes that all Chechens, great and small, are immensely happy to exist under his sensitive leadership and unconditionally support and endorse all of his decisions. Fortunately, however, that’s not the case,” says Dzhabrail, a lawyer and human rights defender.
“Our nation has a good memory, and neither Kadyrov nor anyone else can take it away from us. So Ramzan Kadyrov can bask in illusions and name our streets after Putin as much as he wants – but his actions fill people with nothing but contempt and ridicule,” he says with conviction.

PARIS, France -- France's interior minister says that two people have been killed and 47 have been injured in the blast at a bakery that was apparently caused by a gas leak in central Paris.
Christophe Castaner told reporters at the scene "unfortunately the human toll is particularly serious."
He said 10 people are in critical condition and 37 others less seriously injured.
He paid homage to the courage of rescuers who saved the life of one firefighter who was buried under the rubble for two and a half hours.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, who was also at the scene, extended a "message of affection and solidarity" to the victims.
Witnesses described the overwhelming sound of the blast and people trapped inside nearby buildings. Charred debris and broken glass covered the pavement around the apartment building housing the bakery, which resembled a blackened carcass.
Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said "the situation is under control." After visiting the scene, he described his "shock" at seeing the damage, and said around 200 firefighters and police were involved in the operation.
A helicopter landed in the area to evacuate the wounded. Silver-helmeted firefighters and red firetrucks filled the street and inspected adjoining courtyards. A vehicle from gas company GRDF was stationed nearby.
Pedro Goncalves, an employee at the Hotel Mercure opposite the bakery, said he saw firefighters enter the bakery in the morning but he and his co-workers "thought maybe it's a joke, a false alarm" and they went back to work. About an hour later, he said a blast rocked the surrounding streets.
"In the middle of nothing, I heard one big explosion and then a lot of pressure came at me (and) a lot of black smoke and glass," he said. "And I had just enough time to get down and cover myself and protect my head."
Goncalves said he "felt a lot of things fall on me" and that he was struck by shattered glass. He had a few cuts on his head, and spots of blood on his sweater and undershirt.
"Thank God I'm OK," he said, saying that the blast was so powerful that he heard whistling in his ears in the aftermath. Goncalves said that he ran for the exit and then went to check on the hotel's clients, adding that some of them had head injuries and were bleeding. He said that the hotel was "destroyed" in the blast.
Another witness told The Associated Press that she was awakened by the blast, and feared it was another terrorist attack.
The bakery is around the corner from the Folies-Bergere theater and not far from the shopping district that includes the famed headquarters of Galeries Lafayette.
The explosion came as the French capital is on edge and under heavy security for yellow vest protests around the country.


Leisure sector 'blinkered over social media', survey shows
Sales boost: Facebook
Most leisure companies are failing to grasp the benefits of social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter even though they could boost sales, according to research by Barclays.
More than two-thirds of the companies surveyed in the pub, restaurant, travel and hotel sector said they saw only ‘some’ or ‘limited’ opportunity in using social media to engage customers, even though one in ten firms said half of their sales were generated that way.
Mike Saul, head of hospitality and leisure at Barclays, said: ‘The industry is missing a trick here. Social media is everywhere and for
many businesses it not only influences and directly generates sales, but
it provides a personal link with consumers, building loyalty and
driving repeat footfall.’
Out of 126 companies surveyed, just one third said they used social media proactively while one in ten said they did not use it at all and had no plans to do so.
Saul added: ‘Just having a presence on social media is not enough – there needs to be a strategy driving it.’
Concerns over social media included fears about handling negative publicity.

As Vulture has pointed out, immediately after her death, there was no concrete news on the status of a speculative third Amy Winehouse album. But with a new report from the Guardian ... there's still no concrete news. According to the paper, "A spokesman close to Universal, the mother company of the singer songwriter's label, Island Records, said the singer had put down the 'framework' of around a 'dozen' new songs." Also, "A source close to Winehouse's management said it was believed there was 'masses' of material around, perhaps enough for more than one album. 'Amy was a writer, she was always writing songs. She had studios at home and would create demos. It seems that she was singing and playing drums to the last ... They need to sit down with a producer and shake [the material] into tracks.'" Lots of sources in near proximity! Anyway, while that all sounds fairly reasonable and is most likely accurate, it also suggests nothing as to when we might actually hear a Winehouse album, or what would actually be on it. Stay tuned.
